Late in the evening on Wednesday, 29th September, my office received an email to advise that a podcast Iâd participated in some weeks ago with Jessica Rowe was being pulled.
I note that throughout the day, Jessica was sent several tweets condemning her for conducting a non-political interview with me.
We discussed my grandkids, family, how to cope with public pressure and depression, as well as some other non-controversial matters, in a 30-minute podcast.
Twitter-haters bombarded Jess online to a point where she obviously felt pressured to remove the podcast. Her producer emailed as follows:
"I wanted to let you know that beyond today we won't be able to publish Pauline's episode with Jess Rowe. We've spoke with Jess and her manager tonight who have decided they want to remove the episode. I apologise for any inconvenience."
Cancel culture in this country is killing debate, freedom of speech, and shutting down conservative political representation. It is not doing a kindness to anyone in the country.
While Iâm disappointed with Jess and her manager's decision to remove the podcast, I also recognise how much pressure the hard left keyboarders can put on a person like Jessica who openly discussed with me in the interview how public opinion has impacted her mental wellbeing.
The removal of this innocuous podcast is a step in the wrong direction for conservative Australians.
Woke keyboard warriors were called out on Chris Kenny's show for their bullying behaviour of Jessica Rowe following a podcast she released with me yesterday.
I want to thank Chris Kenny for having the courage to take on the Twitter trolls on his show (linked below).
