Hello and welcome back to another live blog for the Antoinette Lattouf v ABC unlawful termination case in the Federal Court.
I’m Calum Jaspan, and I’ve been following this hearing for the past few days. It’s day four and we’ve had a jam-packed week so far.
Today, things are kicking off slightly later at 10.45am and proceedings will run until about 4.30pm.

Lattouf initially took the ABC to the Fair Work Commission over a year ago, after she was sacked three days into a five-day contract, employed as a fill-in presenter on ABC Radio Sydney.

She was sacked after reposting a report from Human Rights Watch on her Instagram account and is claiming, in part, this was due to expressing political opinion and racial discrimination.
The ABC has continued to deny she was sacked or that its most senior executives, including then-chair Ita Buttrose and outgoing managing director David Anderson, were influenced by pro-Israel lobbyists in their decision.
