Big Small Talk · Why Does Australian Media Still Have The Same Problems? With Antoinette Lattouf · 3 Jun 2026 podcast

I am Lebanese-Australian and I have worked across many outlets in many different areas of journalism.

And at that point in my career, I was freelance, happily so, doing a bunch of different things at a bunch of different outlets.

It wasn't uncommon for me to fill in as a

I had shared a Human Rights Watch post on the third day while I was on air or after I was on air.

I did nothing relating to geopolitics or whatever on the podcast because it was the lead up to Christmas.

It was very conversational, music, summer tips, talkback, all of those things.

But I was targeted by the pro-Israel lobbyists because I am critical of Israel's conduct and because I was critical of the fact that Israel's using starvation as a weapon of war.

And then I had to fight it for almost two years in the federal court to prove that the ABC targeted me for my political opinion, not that I did anything wrong because I had alleged that I didn't listen to my manager and that I breached editorial policy and I breached social media policy.

I had done no such thing.

I had done nothing wrong, literally nothing wrong.

So rarely is there a very clean victim.

Like usually in court cases, they're like, yeah, but you kind of did this and you kind of did that.

And, you know, no, like I literally did nothing.

I literally did nothing wrong, but I still had to fight tooth and nail for my career, my reputation, my mental health, my safety.

Anyway, I won.
