Ita Buttrose reflects on her life in media – well, some of it Ita Buttrose’s memoir celebrates resilience, leadership and public service, but avoids reckoning with controversies that shaped her later career, writes Denis Muller.

Unapologetically Ita reveals a formidable public life – but key controversies are left out. Denis Muller weighs what’s included, and what’s missing.

'Lies', 'criminal': Crikey publishes Ita Buttrose's letter blasting David Anderson, in full Former ABC chair Ita Buttrose has launched a remarkable set of allegations at ABC managing director David Anderson. Here's her letter to the ABC's lawyers.

Clearly both #ItaButtrose & #DavidAnderson are both as guilty as sin, colluding to get Lattouf off air, but each trying to push the blame onto the other!!!

Funny, I thought some of what Ita Buttrose said in court about the unfair […]

Ita Buttrose claims ‘inconsistencies’ in ABC boss David Anderson’s affidavit in Antoinette Lattouf case Buttrose, the former ABC chair, sends explosive letter to broadcaster’s lawyers suggesting she could hand over ‘evidence’ disputing Anderson’s version of events to Lattouf’s legal team

The most shocking revelation in this report is that Ita Buttrose apparently lives in Redfern...!! 😲

I was 100% convinced that was either a Mosman or Woollahra accent.

She had to have help from the court officer a few times - part of the frail old lady act? To go with the wheelchair (FFS!)?

In the quest to appease Israel, the media undermine our basic rights In its eagerness to appease supporters of Israel, the media is happy to ride roughshod over due process and basic rights. It's damaging our democracy.

So true. Australia’s human rights can be whipped away by a proIsraeli lobby group in the blink of an eye.

Imperatriz #ItaButtrose arrives at court in The Wheelchair of the Defendant.

Why was #ItaButtrose the ABC Chair, personally responding to complaints from one listener?
She had never responded in her 5 years as chair.
There was only one complaint from a listener.
Why did she not show the same tenacity for complaints from multiple listeners after her unannounced dismissal?

#Itabuttrose Ita Buttrose is a must untrustworthy witness on the stand.
Had a set piece to repeat, and thats about it. Will not admit that she WANTED Antoinette Lattouf sacked. Won't admit anything. Lattouf's lawyer was middling to average. He got the public to see what Ita was.

Feed's gone dead (I fell behind!), but maybe it's lucky, because *someone* was getting very cranky about having to answer questions, and the snark had begun...

Ita flipping through the Court Book like it's the worst edition of The Women's Weekly and wanting to hurl it out the window.

(You'll have to imagine that. Have deleted the original post that had screenshots. apparently contempt of court is only applicable to us - not #Ita

ABC's case was a dumpster fire before lunch on Tuesday.

After lunch Tuesday?

Flu, COVID, stomach upset?
Ita: "That was a face-saving suggestion."
What's the problem?

#abc #lattouf #unfairtermination #itabuttrose

Ita reached the conclusion that Antoinette was an activist and shouldn’t have been hired because Ita is “a general observer of life… The ABC of life” 🤷🏻‍♂️

What a time to still be alive!

Gone from being 15 in 1980 & singing along to Cold Chisel "....Shouting Ita'a on TV..." to watching the livestream of Ita's lies getting absolutely called out!

Update the lyrics:
"...I DON'T believe, I DON'T believe, ANYTHING she says..." 🎧

Ita, when asked if an employee should be “afforded procedural fairness”, pauses, then says “difficult to answer” 😬
