“Here’s what I believe in. The public deserve to hear perspectives. This country was built by, you know, hardworking Aussies from all around the world, and they were bound by the same values, but very different experiences,” he said.

“So on my show, I’ve spoken to people who have different perspectives. I know that winds some people up. Sometimes I agree with everything a guest says, sometimes I don’t. But importantly, you get to make up your mind. You have the right to hear from different voices.

“Freedom of speech here and around the world is what this show is about. You don’t have to listen to my show. You have the power. You are smart enough to make up your own mind.”

The fear of the leftist/globalist establishment is palpable. The harder they squeeze with their censorship and suppression the more people are waking up to their agenda.

Exactly..  I will admit I have not once viewed PS on Teev.... what I will do now is look at his blog site... since we agree on the basic principle that all should be heard openly and freely, and the people decide.

In the end the reason why the nine star was sacked is because he was outspoken about the current government.

Strings were pulled. Nine executives were informally made aware of their business dealings concerning future government advertising spending and the “ in works “ changes “ of government policy for free to air tv content of rugby league matches and just how quickly the disgraced sports minister- Anika wells could push forward exemptions to the current law so the NRL is hidden behind pay walls.

It’s a simple smart business decision to sack anyone who threatens the current government who is also your third biggest customer in advertising $$$$

I’ll say this for the Australian left – what they lack in moral principle they more than make up for with brass neck.

Consider their seething over Karl Stefanovic’s chat with Tommy Robinson in London. “Tommy’s a fascist”, they cry. That’s big talk for an activist class that has spent the 2˝ years marching shoulder to shoulder with Islamists who relished in Hamas’s mass murder of Jews.

“Stop giving oxygen to racists”, they say.

That’s brave for people who’ve given copious amounts of oxygen to the racist idea that the Jewish state is so uniquely barbarous that we have no choice but to annihilate it, all the way “from the river to the sea”.

Stefanovic’s chinwag with ­Britain’s best-known “far-right ­extremist” is proof of a lethal shift in Australia’s “right-wing landscape”, wails Crikey.

Is this the same Crikey that downplayed that gross gathering of Islamist hotheads at the Sydney Opera House shortly after Hamas’s October 7 pogrom, where a mob barked either “Gas the Jews” or “Where’s the Jews”?

We need “further investigation” to determine if such Jew-taunting really did take place, said Crikey.

The fury over Stefanovic’s podcast with Robinson has been such an orgy of cant. It’s also proof that reports of cancel culture’s death have been greatly exaggerated. There still exists a neo-McCarthyite blob whose response to every idea they disagree with is to yell “Exterminate”, like weird love-children of Mary Whitehouse and a Dalek.

There is no enterprise more brainless than trying to crush dissenting beliefs with censorship. Robinson himself is proof of this. His clout, his fame, rests entirely on the folly of censorship.

It was the British elites’ snivelling suppression of the truth about Muslim rape gangs and the extent of the Islamist threat that paved the way for Robinson. The more the ruling classes tried to curb discussion about the ideology of multiculturalism and its fraying impact on everyday life, the more Robinson was able to say: “I’ll be the truth-teller. Follow me.”

If he really is a “monster”, as the more shrill wing of the commentariat insists, then he is a monster of censorship’s making.

Even as a Brit – where we have moral panics about Robinson and his followers all the time – I was taken aback by the clownish melodrama that followed Stefanovic’s interview. You would have been forgiven for thinking Stefanovic and Robinson had discussed plans for an all-out race war.

In fact, all they discussed was England’s rape-gang scandal – where thousands of white working-class girls were abused by gangs of mostly Pakistani men – and the problem of our broken borders and networks of Islamists.

If it’s “far right” to worry about these things, then Britain must be a hotbed of fascistic thought. Up and down the country, in workplaces and pubs, at bus stops and in WhatsApp groups, decent Brits talk about this stuff all the time. I hear them.

The idea that it’s “extremist” to want to stop Islamist rape gangs and better police the borders is a grotesque libel against the good people of Britain.

At one point in the pod, Robinson says “Keir Starmer is a …” and Stefanovic replies: “Wanker!” Cue fits of the vapours in Australian polite society.

Oh, keep your wigs on. That cry can be heard everywhere in England. Football fans chant it, pissed off people tweet it.

These media prigs really need to come down from their ivory towers and familiarise themselves with the bawdy fury of everyday people. They won’t, though. They’re just going to put their ­fingers in their ears.

Despite the Tommy chat being quickly taken down from social media sites, Nine gave Stefanovic the heave-ho. Sacked for speech crimes – it’s insane.

The maddest thing about this scandal is that Robinson – whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon – is a moderating influence on the New Right. He rejects the ugly ethnonationalism that has taken hold in certain quarters in Britain. He defends black Britons from the disgusting idea that they aren’t “true Britons”.

And he has been a firm friend of Israel since October 7, 2023, flatly rejecting the antisemitic conspiracism that has infected not only the keffiyeh left but also the crankier wing of the digital right. That’s the twisted irony in all this Tommyphobia – he stands with Jews, yet he’s called a fascist by lefties who absolutely do not stand with Jews.

He opposes the destruction of the Jewish state, yet he’s called a Nazi by keffiyeh-smothered maniacs who support that violent dream and chant for it on the streets every week.

I don’t agree with everything Robinson says. I don’t like all the language he uses. I’ve never been on one of his marches (though hundreds of thousands of Brits, including friends of mine, have).

But I can tell you this: he is not a fascist. His concerns are shared by people across the UK.

Our porous borders. The arrival of hundreds of unvetted men in small boats every week. The social fracturing caused by the ideology of multiculturalism. The rise and rise of Islamist violence.

The cynical silencing of ordinary Brits with that cheap insult of “Islamophobe”.

Believe me, these things are infuriating Brits. When you call Tommy Robinson a fascist, you call them fascists too.

When will the elites wake up
