A Cricket Australia employee has been sacked after a series of tweets campaigning for abortion reform in Tasmania, with the sports body citing concerns that she insulted the Tasmanian government.
A legal claim has been lodged with Fair Work Australia against Cricket Australia that includes claims that a senior member of the Tasmanian government disclosed the woman’s own pregnancy termination to her then employer.
The mother-of-three who worked as a manager of public policy and government relations at Cricket Australia, was among the first forced to travel to Melbourne for a termination in February after the state’s only abortion provider closed.
