Tom Elliott has slammed ABC directing manager David Anderson over him stating Australia is a racist country “based in fact” while in court yesterday.

It comes amid the high-profile legal case involving presenter Antoinette Lattouf, who is suing the national broadcaster, claiming unfair dismissal.

“I just find that disgusting I really do,” the 3AW Mornings host said.
