The Lattouf trial reveals an ABC so paralysed by process even its managers can’t keep up

Antoinette Lattouf is suing the ABC over her sacking 14 months ago .

Managing director David Anderson is a reluctant star witness in a court case that has lasted longer than her brief spell on air.

Anderson told the court the policing of standards, including impartiality, is not “arbitrary”, but ultimately comes down to “judgment”.

The federal court case at who knows what cost is not over.

It is running way over schedule and we are yet to hear from Buttrose .

Even if Lattouf wins, it is not clear if she can find her way back to presenting jobs at the ABC .

Perhaps, her speaking gigs will no longer be mysteriously” cancelled.
