The Australian Communications and Media Authority has ruled that shock jock Kyle Sandilands 'went beyond any acceptable standards' in an August 2022 broadcast.
Controversial media personality Kyle Sandilands made comments about mpox and gay men in an August 2022 broadcast.
Radio shock jock Kyle Sandilands breached decency rules when he made offensive comments about gay men and the mpox virus, Australia's communications regulator has found. "Although there was a basis at the time for a public discussion about monkeypox that involved reference to gay sexuality, the segment went beyond any acceptable standards by conveying that gay men were irresponsible, were a risk to the community and did not deserve any sympathy even when presenting for medical assistance," she said.
