Media personality Kyle Sandilands says his new streaming platform has been under cyber attack by bots from Canberra, Russia and China ever since he talked to One Nation leader Pauline Hanson.
The outspoken former shock jock launched his own subscription show called Kyle Sandilands Live after losing his 10-year $100 million contract as breakfast radio host with KIIS FM earlier this year.
Last week he called Ms Hanson “Australia’s most trusted politician”, and said when he met her he realised she was “proud to be Australian and wants to conserve our Australian ways … she hasn’t said something last week and changed her mind this week”.
Then on Wednesday he shared a video on Instagram revealing that his new website had been under attack for the past two weeks.

“There’s bots coming out of Canberra and Russia and China, this is weird, right, but true, all trying to shut down our platform, trying to shut our show down,” he said.
“It all started since we started talking to Pauline and Barnaby Joyce the other week, and it went on and on and on. It’s a full attack, from multiple countries and our own, and I just don’t understand where’s the endgame here, what are you trying to do?
“We will not be shut down, we will not be silenced, we will say whatever we want, and we will investigate government waste … and you can put as many bots as you want on, and we will not shut down, we will not falter.”
Earlier this week Sandilands accused the Australian government of wasting millions of dollars on “pet projects”, and referred to revelations that taxpayer-funded multiculturalism grants went from $6 million the year Prime Minister Anthony Albanese came to power to $326 million in the last financial year.
