The judge found the "primary motivation for the termination of Ms Lattouf's employment" was to avoid criticism from political lobbyists, the media and sections of the public.
"The ABC and others cannot be allowed to regard a penalty as an acceptable price to pay for staving off criticism over the employment of an employee by engaging in unlawful conduct against that employee," he wrote in his decision.
The judge previously found the journalist had been given "advice" that it would be best not to post anything controversial about Gaza, as opposed to a direction not to do so.
The advice was also qualified by an indication that posting fact-based material from a verified source would be fine.
