An Indian-origin aviation worker in Australia who was sacked last year for posting pro-Islamic State messages on Facebook has told a court that his comments were "sarcastic".
Nirmal Singh was facing the 'Fair Work Commission' to argue that his
dismissal was 'unfair' by his previous employer Aerocare and was seeking
$7,000 in lost wages.
