A NSW school principal, Sheikh Abdulghani Albaf, has won a landmark court battle that could see him return to his job after being stood down over controversial social media posts. The NSW Supreme Court ruled he was denied procedural fairness during his dismissal, finding the NESA committee’s decision legally unreasonable. Despite earlier claims he was unfit for the role, the court highlighted that his actions after concerns were raised and his acceptance of the school’s probation were not properly considered. Evidence also revealed political pressure, including a NESA executive advising the school to temporarily remove him for “later forgetting.” NESA has acknowledged the ruling, and parties now have 14 days to decide next steps — underscoring the delicate balance between free speech and professional conduct in education.
