A car-crash interview with Pauline Hanson on Thursday's Kyle and Jackie O Show saw tensions erupt between host Kyle Sandilands and his own senior producers.
The radio presenter, 50, scolded his in-studio censor and executive producer Sonia 'Palestine' Jahshan after learning the far-right One Nation politician was being censored during her live telephone interview.
Several statements Hanson, 67, made about Covid-19 and vaccines were bleeped out because they were false and risked causing harm to the community.
She made debunked claims about how Covid deaths are counted and the supposed 'risks' of the vaccines - even though the Pfizer and AstraZeneca shots are safe and highly effective in preventing people from becoming seriously ill with coronavirus.

When Sandilands was alerted by callers to the bleeping, he furiously asked the censor and Jahshan why Hanson's comments weren't going to air.
'Can somebody tell me what's being beeped out and why it's being beeped out?' he said.
'Our censor is saying some of what Pauline is saying is not government approved [health advice],' Jahshan replied, which prompted Sandilands to scoff: 'Bulls**t.'
'We're not a government show,' he added. 'This is not the ABC.'

Jahshan reminded Sandilands and his co-host Jackie 'O' Henderson that KIIS FM was obliged to 'be mindful of what we're telling listeners' about coronavirus.
But he wasn't satisfied with this explanation and said Hanson had a right to express her views - even if they are demonstrably false and detrimental to the public health.
This surprising given that Sandilands is pro-vaccine and even produced a music video encouraging Australians to get the jab earlier this month.
