Kyle Sandilands was back on air this morning, after quitting mid-show on Wednesday in protest against the censorship, ACMA, contempt of court laws, and his own show director. He returned despite his own on-air vow he would not be back until next week.

In a segment on Tuesday’s show, Sandilands was discussing Beauty and the Geek contestant Tamika Chesser, who is alleged to have murdered her partner. The conversation was heavily edited, which Sandilands took issue with on Wednesday morning’s program. The unedited audio is available below.

“OK, so the show got dumped in the middle of a planned discussion that I had already discussed with the legal team about things that have been happening on the show,” he said. “Why was that dumped, when I was using all the correct lingo?”

Sandilands is referring to content being erased using the ‘dump button’, a seven-second broadcast delay that allows producers to quickly censor any questionable content on the fly.

On learning it was the show director, and Sandilands’ personal manager Bruno Bouchet, who ordered the censorship, he railed against contempt of court laws.

“Some laws are just so dumb and stupid, and I’m not playing ball,” he said.

“Until this show runs the way I intend it to be run, I will not be back on the air at all, in any way, shape or form. I’m not going to waste my life here walking on eggshells around other people’s ideas of what I should be doing.

“I do what I want to do – and if you don’t like it, tough shit. That’s the way it is with me.”

After Sandilands hunted down Bouchet “with dogs and a baseball bat”, the director explained his decision to the listeners.

“[It was] for the contempt of court stuff. I just don’t want you guys going to jail.”

Sandilands then said he’d “rather be raped in jail then be puppeteered by losers.”

“That’s the show ripped up,” he continued. “Judges can shove it in their arses, ACMA can shove it in their arses, and so can the management of the radio station.”

Sandilands and Henderson are already facing contempt of court charges over on-air comments made last month about the Erin Patterson mushroom case.

The Kyle and Jackie O show has used a dump button, on direction of ACMA, since a controversial lie-detector segment in 2009, in which a 14-year-old girl revealed on-air she had been raped. That segment aired on the pair former station, 2DayFM, and resulted in the communications watchdog introducing a new license condition that “requires the station to not distress, humiliate or exploit any people under the age of 18.”

Following his expletive-filled rant, Sandilands announced he wouldn’t be back on air until at least Monday, and urged his team to “enjoy the rest of the week.”
