Nine Network presenter Karl Stefanovic’s controversial podcast episode featuring British far-right activist and anti-Islam campaigner Tommy Robinson is pulled from YouTube, according to multiple Australian outlets. Several reports say the interview included praise for Pauline Hanson, with Robinson referring positively to Hanson during the conversation. In addition, outlets report Stefanovic expressed admiration for Robinson, describing his “tenacity” and “courage.” The episodes were removed after public scrutiny over the content and associations discussed in the interview.
Across the coverage, the central points are consistent: the interview was recorded and shared publicly, it drew criticism due to the far-right figure involved and the remarks made during the podcast, and it was subsequently deleted or taken down from the video platform. The reporting does not add materially different details about timing, duration, or the full scope of the discussion beyond those themes.
