Overview
- ACMA found four Southern Cross Austereo stations, including Triple M Sydney, in breach of decency provisions for airing the February segment.
- The watchdog said the remarks were overtly sexist and conveyed contempt for women's sport, describing the tone as demeaning and sarcastic.
- About 100 people lodged complaints with ACMA after audio of the broadcast circulated widely online.
- SCA told the regulator the comments were not offensive by its audience standards, a position ACMA rejected in its findings.
- Marty Sheargold and Triple M parted ways in February following the backlash, and he later issued a public apology.
