The then manager of ABC Radio Sydney, Steve Ahern, who hired Lattouf for the casual shifts, wrote to Anderson that Lattouf had been identified as a potential future presenter for ABC radio.
At issue in the case before the federal court is whether Lattouf had been instructed not to post on social media by an ABC manager, or whether it had merely been suggested she stick to posting “factual information from reputable sources”, as she has said occurred in her affidavit.
In an affidavit released by the court on Wednesday, Lattouf detailed dozens of death threats and abusive and threatening messages she had received since December 2023 when she hosted ABC radio’s Sydney Mornings program.
After being taken off air by the ABC over a social media post, Antoinette Lattouf was phoned by an anonymous man who threatened “I will find you and end you and shut your antisemitic mouth once and for all”, the federal court has been told.
Lattouf presented her first show on Monday 18 December and within 90 minutes after coming off air, the ABC began receiving emails complaining about her, Neil said.
