• ABC executive tells court there was ‘pressure from above’ over Antoinette Lattouf’s position

Strong exchanges over Lattouf’s views on Israel-Gaza

Oliver-Taylor is being strongly questioned about his understanding of Lattouf’s political views before she was removed from her presenting gig on ABC Radio Sydney.

Certainly at the time that you removed Ms Lattouf, you understood very well her position on the Gaza-Israel war.

I can’t recall what I knew at that exact time. Clearly in the 12 or 14 months that have passed I understand her position. What I was being told was that there was posting and other things going on during that time. I don’t want to sit here and say I knew her exact position. I could guess her position, but I cannot remember at this point in time whether I knew her position.
