Ten and Spicer shake hands.

TEN has settled its discrimination case with former newsreader Tracey Spicer.

Spicer was taking legal action against TEN for unfair dismissal alleging breaches of the federal Sex Discrimination Act.

This was a charge Ten aggresively denied, saying “Ten does not discriminate on the basis of age, gender, race, religion or sexual preference. Ten employs more female news presenters than any other Australian commercial television network, with at least one female news presenter in every bulletin in every state. Ten also has more women in key editorial and news management roles.”

The announcement that the case has reached a settlement was brief. VERY brief:

Network Ten and newsreader Tracey Spicer have reached a settlement concerning matters arising from her employment with Ten. Ten thanks Ms Spicer for her service over the past 14 years and wishes her well in her future endeavours.

Spicer currently reads for Sky News on Foxtel.
