  • Lawyer John Laxon alleges the media company has linked the recent exit of former Queensland news boss Amanda Paterson to its recent bombshell cultural review.

The article from The Sydney Morning Herald discusses a lawsuit filed by Nine Entertainment's CEO Mike Sneesby, Star Entertainment's CEO Robbie Cooke, and News Corp's executive chairman Michael Miller against their respective companies. This legal action follows a comprehensive cultural review that highlighted issues of workplace culture, governance, and leadership within these media giants. The executives are seeking damages for what they claim are unjust findings and reputational damage stemming from the review. The review, conducted by an independent panel, pointed out various shortcomings including allegations of bullying, harassment, and a lack of accountability at the top levels of management. The lawsuit has sparked a broader conversation about corporate governance, the responsibilities of executives, and the mechanisms for addressing workplace culture in Australia's media industry.
