Today, that finally caught up with him. “Sandilands has made millions off of spouting his misogynistic, racist and homophobic views on Australian airwaves. This vile show trashed our airwaves for long enough so it’s good to see ARN finally kick it to the curb.
“Mr Sandilands' statement today reads like a three-year-old's tantrum, showing what happens when a man child is held accountable for his actions. “He has shown little remorse or care for the impact his on air behaviour and content has had on women and the broader community for years. “Over his 25 years on air, we know the regulator ACMA received countless complaints about the inappropriate content aired on this show.
It is an indictment on ACMA that ARN acted to end his contract before the regulator took any real enforcement action. “ACMA took far too long to act on this vile and dangerous content. This has once again shown that ACMA is a toothless tiger.
Despite clear community expectations, the regulator has failed to hold broadcasters like Sandilands to account while their deeply inappropriate and dangerous content continued on our airwaves. “People afforded platforms in this country, like Kyle Sandilands, have enormous influence in shaping public attitudes. When harmful or degrading commentary is normalised, it sends the wrong message.” Facebook for the Australian Greens YouTube for the Australian Greens X for the Australian Greens Instagram for the Australian Greens Bluesky for the Australian Greens Privacy Members website Your safety Contact us Our plan Tax the 1% Tackle the cost of living Healthcare for all Fix the housing crisis Strong climate action In your language 2025 policy platform Policy principles & aims Our team Federal MPs State/territory MPs Officeholders Federal portfolios Federal media releases Take action Volunteer Donate Issues & campaigns Upcoming events Greens Shop Leave a bequest Green Magazine All news Our movement About the Greens Become a member Jobs Members website State/territory parties Contact us The Greens acknowledge the Traditional Owners of country throughout Australia and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture.
