Nine staffer reportedly files claim against company in Federal Court
A Nine staff member has reportedly filed a claim against the media giant in the Federal Court.
According to the AFR, Nine News reporter, Airlie Walsh – who is currently on maternity leave – has filed a human rights sex discrimination case against the company.
Walsh’s lawyers declined to comment, while Nine also declined when contacted by Mumbrella on Tuesday.
Walsh had worked in a number of roles at Nine since joining in 2008, including a website producer for the Today show, and a political reporter for Nine News.
The news comes only days after it was reported that the former Nine News Queensland director launched legal action against the network after her departure last month.
At the time, it was reported that Amanda Paterson was dismissed effective immediately after 31 years with Nine and had held the news director role since 2016.
Paterson has alleged she was unlawfully terminated by director of news and current affairs, Fiona Dear, over “minor” issues unrelated to Nine’s ongoing investigation into workplace culture.
