Overview
- Four Southern Cross Austereo stations, including Triple M Sydney, were found to have breached the Commercial Radio Code of Practice.
- The investigation cited on-air comments comparing the Matildas to year 10 girls and a crude remark about preferring self-harm to watching them play.
- ACMA said the remarks were overtly sexist, demeaning in tone, and conveyed contempt for women's sport and women generally.
- About 100 people lodged complaints in February, and the show was later removed as Marty Sheargold and Triple M parted ways.
- Football Australia and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese condemned the segment, calling the comments offensive and disrespectful to the national team.
