The ABC is facing mounting scrutiny over the sacking of radio presenter Antoinette Lattouf, just days into a short-term contract.

In a Fair Work case against the ABC, Lattouf alleges she was dismissed over a pro-Palestine social media post, as well as claiming systemic racial discrimination within the organisation against people of Arab or Muslim backgrounds.

Meanwhile, the public broadcaster is dealing with the resignation of other high-profile presenters and scores of redundancies amid a restructure that is causing tension among staff over the ABC’s broader direction.

So, what’s going on at Aunty?

Today, contributor to The Saturday Paper and editor of 7am Scott Mitchell explores the deeper problems and frustrations at the ABC.
