AACo has defended a lawsuit from an ex-manager about his dismissal.
It admitted to designating the ex-manager a whistleblower.
The beef giant says the redundancy was unrelated to safety complaints.
AACo has admitted to sacking a manager a month after he was made a whistleblower for raising safety concerns, but the giant beef producer disputed that the dismissal was related to the complaint.
The Brisbane-based company, which runs 453,000 head of cattle and owns almost 1 per cent of Australia’s land mass, admitted to the whistleblower designation in a defence to a Federal Court workplace lawsuit from former manager Tom Dunn.
