Kyle Sandilands has hit out at Today Show host Deborah Knight, after she put down Bill Shorten in an interview following former prime minister Bob Hawke's death.
Knight compared the popularity of the two politicians, suggesting Shorten was less popular than Hawke, and asked the Labor leader why he was 'struggling to get voters'.
Pointing out that Shorten and Hawke had been good friends, Sandilands slammed the insensitive question, which came just a day after Hawke passed away.
''Have some decency' Kyle Sandilands slammed Deborah Knight for her insensitive question, which compared Bill Shorten's popularity to Bob Hawke - a day after the former prime minister's death
The 47-year-old addressed the interview on his KIIS FM radio show (The Kyle and Jackie O Show) and criticised Knight for her line of questioning.
'That's a nice thing... your friend's dead - why doesn't anyone like you?' he sarcastically said.
Slamming Knight further, Sandilands said: 'Have some decency when someone is dealing with the death of a friend.'
