Senator Hanson, who had regularly appeared as a contributor in a news chat segment on the show, this morning made comments regarding residents inside public housing towers under COVID-19 lockdown in Melbourne.
"The Today Show has advised Pauline Hanson that she will no longer be appearing on our programme as a regular contributor," Nine's Director of News and Current Affairs, Darren Wick, said in a statement. "We don't shy away from diverse opinions and robust debate on the Today Show. But this morning's accusations from Pauline Hanson were ill-informed and divisive.
"At a time of uncertainty in this national and global health crisis, Australians have to be united and supportive of one another. We need to get through this together."

I'm sure all 15 of your viewers are happy with this...
Where free speech? This is what she thinks. It is here problem why make this to our?
The Today show can piss off.
I’m with Pauline - Australia needs free speaking Politicians regardless of what the Left want to Puppeteer. Today show dropped ratings this week behind ABC because of Pauline. Go Woke, Go Broke , channel 9. ABC does that & we want them defunded too.
Truth hurts. Your not a new service but a gossip column
Pauline Hanson apart from spreading fear mongering and vilifying people, she has no credibility. She can join skyenew.
Big mistake
This statement will only have a shred of credibility if you change Today Show to nine network.
Abhor Hanson's comments and everything she stands for. But here, she is also a patsy for 9's grab for publicity. Incendiary tone & questions from Today host! TheTodayShow
Nine news? May as well watch the ABC..
No dramas I won't be watching anymore!
About bloody time.
Why would anyone give an uneducated bigot who spreads hate and division a platform for her views in the first place? Seriously Channel 9, it is 2020 - White Australia Policy has been dead for 50 years yet you support white supremacist views and your programming lacks diversity
Thank you! Having seen many of her interviews, I get the feeling PaulineHanson has been feeling indispensable & you know something is wrong with a persons communication when they've had that many marriages and relations that ended up breaking down. I appreciate this decision
Good riddance to racists.
Terrible decision
And I won't be watching The Today Show ever again.
WHO THE HELL WATCHES CH9 ANYWAY? An entertainment show hosted by the Stephanovic group of 50 year olds acting like they were 18. A bunch of giggling fake wankers, with 4 minutes of spun cnn news feeds. Pauline was a draw card for them, their ratings are suffering! wankers
OMG Whilst I certainl condem PH's retoric, channel 9 are more guilty of 'styleising' the news so should not be allowed to censor free speach, certainly comment but not censor.
Did Chanel 9 take the time to verify that her claims were false before banning her? I’m assuming a media outlet would check facts before jumping on the outrage bandwagon.
So much for freedom of speech , your bloody show is crap anyhow .
The real question is why did her marginal views get so much airtime in the first place? If more progressive, unifying voices were given as much exposure, we’d all be a lot better off for it.
Pauline Hanson has been fired from TheTodayShow (after I think pressure from advertises and commercial interests who would of pulled revenue away from Nine) paulinehanson auspol melbournelockdown
😹😂🤣Yeah! Right!
Guess I won’t be watching channel 9 anymore. Everything she said was 100% correct.
It’s about time 9 recognised the difference between airing “alternative” opinions and uninformed ones. Pauline isn’t speaking the truth, she has not done the work to learn the truth. She has not connected with people to understand them and is not qualified to comment.
All the commenters not understanding that Freedom of Speech is not Freedom from Consequence. Pauline Hanson is a dropkick who entered politics to fight against a library. Besides being the inspiration for amusing songs and something to laugh at, she isn't useful for anything.
Go woke go broke. When truth is portrayed as lies. You foolish clowns
Nine news is obsolete, so indoctrinating so left it isn't funny. She should go to sky, that is where the real news is these days.
Way to alienate a large proportion of your viewers 9news. Advertising revenue won't mean a thing when your ratings are shot. Let's face it, it was only a matter of time anyway.
Sky news we can watch her . Channel 9 is a left view only they don’t want any other views.
Thankyou. Very disturbing her comments about the towers residents
You guys are as bad as CNN .
Typical of channel 9 and the today show, pushing their green left agenda and shutting down conservative views and true facts, shame on you the today show.
Because nobody saw that coming ever. 🙄 Stop feigning outrage. You got what you wanted. clickbaitjournos
I’d like to point out it’s 2020 and should not have taken this long
Seriously.. Like y'all didn't know what she was .. ..
I'm glad you've read the room, but to little to late. Please do continue to hold yourselves to account. But you really need to get out of the gutter and stay out.
She shouldn't be welcome on it AT ALL. Or any other network.
Good
Why....Because she speaks the truth.....
Ugly censorship. 9News is a shame for our democracy.
Reach out for the Sunrise then. Puke.
So, after a public lifetime of blatant racism, it took this for channel 9 to say 'Too far Pauline'?
what about 7NewsSydney koshie saying 'and who ever said slavery was dead' when talking about black sport men ?
You guys suck. You guys aren't journalist anymore, nothing but script reading drones.😆
You keep saying “regular”, you’ve made a loophole big enough for a truck to go through. Unless you cut her out entirely I am completely underwhelmed.
9news... shameful to have her there in the first place.
Pauline Hanson has been an openly racist biggot forever. She didn't ease into these views. You and really every network in this country has done irreparable harm by broadcasting her views thus normalising her toxicity. How dare you post like you're taking a stand. Too late.
The problem is at 9. Hanson was simply true to form.
You get her on your show to give you her “different” commentary on the program, as soon as you don’t like what she has to say, it’s goodbye and goodbye from me too 9.
Time to boycott channel 9
Why on earth did you have her on in the first place? 🤔
Couldn't handle it eh Channel Nine? Pathetic.
Sometimes someone has to speak what is truth, without being labelled as a racist or whatever. She may not always be spot on but we need someone to fight for common sense and not bow to political correctness
🙄🙄🙄🙄why allow her racist criminal arse to appear on the channel to begin with
Actually I’m not sure being divisive is bad of itself.
Too late
When truth becomes hate speech, we now live in the era George Orwell was warning about. Newspeak is PoliticalCorrectness.
canceltheTodayshow
Why? Because her views and opinions offend somepeople? Channel 9 are discriminating against her
So they’re taking out their comedy segment then. Shame really, none of their other fluff pieces hold any interest for me. PaulineHanson 9News
Dont give a rats ass about the today show
Good.
Why the hell did you give her a platform to spout her filth? Take responsibility for your poor judgement.
Well done channel 9. Just have to stop her rhetoric from getting an air time.
You'd have more credibility if you refused to have her on your channel again. Why do insist on giving a voice to hatred & division? Boycott9
Why was she appearing on the show to start with ?
Who cares - who is 9 apart from a bunch of bigots & racists. Sky is the best media outlet.
Who the heck gave her a platform on your show in the first place?... Talk about bad judgement and that was BEFORE the past 24 hours
Too little too late. Australia is screwed internationally. You’ve affected the economy. That was your end point not actually caring about people.
Will not watch the today show from now on.
It be great to see all platforms adopting the same COMMUNITY STANDARDS. Pauleen needs to stand down from her position or sacked. Many ministers and gov members have been sacked for less.
Why did you invite her ?
Nothing racist about calling a spade a spade
She is simply telling the truths. Well I have to say I will no longer see your program.
😡😡😡
She should never have been invited to appear on this trashy show. She should be confined to the Parliament and only Hansard should record her utterances.
What happened to free speech , report the news don’t censor it !!!
It will she still have paid guest appearances on your station?
This is the right decision...finally. But stop putting these people on in the first place. You can and must do better. Please try harder.
And this is what happens Today when you speak the truth...
Poor decision, invite her back once you realise you need debate and different points of view in your show.
Good on you guys
She has a right to say how she feels like everyone else does
Finally
She’s a potato. But she’s an elected potato and should have a voice.
Oh no...did the today show get a response they didn't like God forbid someone has a different opinion in regards to what's going on in the world these days...the media is a joke.
Thank you Channel Nine. The fake news has to stop. No more airtime.
The biggest mistake you made was thinking Victorians need opinions about their state from rascist rednecks from QLD. massivefail shitshow
Never watched it .... never will now. Principle is to have a Politician or journalist who is not fettered by fear to speak their truth...the peoples truth... Well Done Pauline😘 Bye Bye Channel 9.......
You knew what kind of person she was yet you only make this decision now?
Honestly though, who still watches Today? Total trash program.
She has said alot worse and she was still a regular. She should have never been given that platform. Y'all way too late on this one.
FINALLY! THANKYOU!
Thanks for calling her on her divisive attitudes
Haven’t watched this rubbish show for years now.
You need to now prove she is wrong as a news programme otherwise she could claim unfair dismissal etc.. I think you will find she isn't wrong. The Vic govt already said in a statement that they will supply drugs to occupants. auspol vicpol CovidVic COVID19Aus
The amazing and deplorable past time of defending racism, ignorance and privilege below the line on full display here.
Nah you'll just keep producing disgusting shows like MAFS & Love Island....credibility zero👎
interesting How you book her to speak, have tv personalities who fuel her......then take the moral high ground! look at cultural and political bias across and with your entire team! It’s your tv hosts, framework, setup and Interview questions...not bad guests!
What bullshit, freedom of speech gone!!!
Pauline is the winner here, can no longer be blamed for crap ratings. Dont know how anyone watches this rubbish show or sunrise for that matter!
how ill advised can it be if Vic government is providing drug, alcohol and domestic violence services at these sites?
They forgot to tell Pauline not to speak the truth,
Z
What a pack of wet mops, bowing down to the trolls and their pitchforks, keep being woke, hopefully you'll pay the price...so out of touch!
Good sook
Too little to f'n late!!! Why did it happen in the first place! What standards are supposed to be in place! Fail, fail, fail!!!
Nowadays if your opinion doesn’t much people’s objective, you’re fired! You are not allowed to have your own opinion these days. They silence you!
Good.
Come on Carl what happened to freedom of speech? Your annoying your viewers wuth thus sort of crap
Your network has balls of tongston for sure 🤘
Fantastic. I am a small business owner looking to launch an advertising campaign. I will sign with Nine now.
What! What did she actually say that was bad? Do you have evidence that anything she said was wrong? Why is it so important for you to make australia and australians look like shit. You silencing her opinion offends me!
You've had many opportunities to do this Channel 9. Don't pat yourselves on the back because you finally took action you should have a long time ago PaulineHanson
Master Soros has spoken
She speaks the truth and can’t have that so let’s censor her
thanks for sharing. we won’t be watching your boring one dimensional show either.
This is good news
Truth hurts I guess
Well done 👍 Excellent news.
and after the last 10+ years, you only realised this about her?
ya the govt is going to grant millions in 'covid' package only if she was booted . hmmm easy decision
Social Justice politics at its best from 9.
.....because she doesn't fit your channels biased narrative? Or is ot because she has a valid counter arguement that has possibly melted a few precious snowflakes? Which one
Fantastic news and about time too 😉 😘
✅
well done Nine News. I am amazed to see a network actually show such integrity & ethics. Great role models
Good call! It's bad someone like her was ever invited in the first place.
Boycott ch9 go woke then go broke 🙄
That's cool I'll no longer be watching 9🖕
Well done channel 9 thank you very much :)
Not as regular contributor, but once in a fortnight!!
If only the govt would do the same
Because she speaks the TRUTH !
I’m actually shocked by this but in a good way. PaulineHansonOz actually proof u should have to take a IQ to run for politics or at least finished high school with decent grades.
What for telling truths having an opinion? Going against your extreme leftists viewed? Nine you are pathetic
Why was she ever on it in the first place? The entire reason her defunct political career was revived was you idiots putting her on our TV screens all the bloody time. She is exactly the same person she's always been - her racism is not a surprise to ANYONE. This is disingenuous.
Saints_Dragons 'If I eat curry, it'll give me the runs' Eats curry Gets the runs Feels sorry.
What exactly do you mean Channel9? What does 'regular' tell us? PaulineHansonOz Will be a 'non-regular' contributor perhaps?
I remember this lady she’s like the equivalent to Donald Trump’s evil sister
Well if the reason is due to ‘ill-informed and divisive comments’ , by that logic you should shut your entire news channel down
It's a well known fact that many drug addicts and alcoholics live in those flats even Dan Andrews said he'd make sure methodone and alcohol is delivered to them. She spoke the truth and truth hurts. Seriously sick of your biased reporting. I won't be watching 9 any more.
Piss weak Channel 9
Channel 9 played no part in this at all right. Fuck me.
I still vote for her
Have you spoken to Allison Langdon yet? The way the questions were framed were to provoke Hanson to make the statements she did.
Channel Nine has caught the woke PC Fairfax virus. The ratings are plummeting. Channel 9 got woke and goes broke. They're out of touch. ABC with advertising. Loser business model. Poor suffering shareholders. Fools on charge.
Too bad its only not having her on as a regular!
That you gave her unfettered access to the show to spew her HATE, is an indictment on your channel. Wouldn’t expect any different with Peter “HR Nicholls” Costello as your boss.
You're the real racist . Be original and stop replicating everything the Americans do, morons. Pauline Hanson PaulineHansonOz 👍
All she said was the truth.
Three Cheers for Pauline for telling it how it is. What do you snow flakes not get about Covid -19. If this was Spanish Flu those people would all be dead now. What if Covid19 changes
Pauline Hanson has been public racist & hatemonger for years but Nine Network & rest of the Australian media didn't care. Instead you & they enabled her for years. Now stop giving airtime & coverage to other racists! Racism is NOT an opinion.
Why was Senator Hanson even asked to talk about this issue? She has nothing to do with Melbourne issues. 9 just looking for a sound bite through lazy journalism and now fake outrage. Stop giving this toxic racist airtime oxygen.
You are frauds from Sydney broadcasting into Melbourne. Everyone who lives in Flemington knows Pauline was speaking truth. You woke PC virtue signallers at 9 have caught the Fairfax PC virus. We're switching off in droves. Pauline's approval is way higher than your lousy ratings.
Thank you - this is overdue.
So glad I don’t watch your biased channel 9. Certainly never will now.
PeterCostello Why did it take you so long to care about the damage Pauline Hanson does to communities & the division she creates? Not just Hanson but the other bigots & racists you host as well, the blame is firmly at your feet & you need to apologise & make amends
Cut the crap, your host is at fault she instigated Pauline to say those words. You cannot make all the ppl fool all the time
should be ashamed they allowed PaulineHansonOz to share her racist views so many times before this decision was made.
It took this long? Today really is the dogshit of TV shows.
You know now you're going to have to cancel every controversial speaker or you'll look like hypocrites and in so doing you will become even more bland and boring than you already are.
Took ya long enough.
What an example of responsible media and Freedom of Speech. Channel 9 is anyway unwatchable.
About time
how about never appear permanently as that current statement still leaves plenty of room for appearances.
Why? Most of what was said is factually correct
WOKE 9 NEWS. PAULINE HAS MORE INTELLIGENCE THAN 9 BOARD COMBINED.
Truly. What do you expect? Applause? Why did you think inciting division & hatred at a time when a sizable number of Australians are looking for help, reassurance, solidarity & support was in the public interest? Will the Today Show also no longer be appearing on Channel 9?
I hate the CancelCulture. Now people can put their head in the sand and feel safe they'll never hear anything they disagree with again ... until they cancel something you do agree with. Can't please everyone. I'd rather hear all sides and make up my own mind cancel9NewsAus
I don't like to see politicians' opinions silenced, but their air time needs to be in proportion with their electoral support based on primary votes.
After giving her a platform and airing her content. What do you want a congratulations for the bare minimum
Amazing reflexes from Nine news, making this decision 20 years too late.
Can’t handle the real news fuck TheTodayShow
Your loss, trying to censor the truth and opinions that challenge the sheep who appear on and watch your piss weak network.
A bit late for that. She should never be given any airtime
So not as a REGULAR contributor, just every so often when you want a RWNJ to say something offensive to get you some attention.... Ok.. Got it.. 😠😡🤬
keepaustraliaaustralian
But you support racial divides and profiling. Everytime a news reporter states 'African gangs' or 'Sudanese' you are doing the exact same thing. The media in this country are a joke. Hold the govt to account instead of pandering to them. Try journalism not propoganda. shitshow
The Today show is terrible!
Hanson doesn't even realise that she's a racist
Channel 9 you are pathetic & hypocritical. You get her on to suit you for her controversial comments to boost ratings but when she says something that’s a bit too politically incorrect you go into defence mode. I can’t wait til your channel is no longer viable due to Netflix etc
Pauline Hanson is a serving member of our Parliament and has been elected to have a voice on behalf of the people of this country. Chanel nine is just a commercial venture and for them is all about $, not giving voice to the people, so turn them off.
The fact it took you this long, and you only stopped after mass controversy proves you actually don’t care
If she was such a bad influance would'nt putting her on tv to show australia how bad she is be the best way to show how wrong she is? The best way to rid the world of bad ideas is sunlight.
About time, many years of bigotry & marginalisation towards middle easterners. It’s not alleged, it’s publicly known
Australia's definition of racism is a joke. The hatred and vile behaviour by those who accuse others of racism reveals that all people ridicule on the basis of difference. We have so much horrendous activity performed that can't be addressed through fear of stereotyping a group
Typical Lefty Arsewipes. Can’t take a bit of honesty for a change.
That's censorship ahaha. Good job you knobs
It took you how many years to finally realise that Pauline Hanson is a vile bigot? The right move, Nine, but where's the apology for actively supporting racism for all these years? How much are you going to donate to anti-racism organisations and researchers to make amends?
Unfortunately much of what she said is true, but you just can’t tell the truth any more, it has to be whitewashed. Perhaps she should have just called them disadvantaged!
Now you pick someone who sing your songs - crap show anyway
God forbid you should actually get a dose of reality, and not a prepared media statement from some media trained sheep. Hardly watch your show, now that will change to never.. you disgrace
BoycottChannel9
What happened to FREE SPEECH Pauline has an opinion-she is entitled to it-MEDIA TOTAL CONTROLLING JOKE! NO MORE CH's: 9/7/10/ABC/sbs For me!! ONLY CHANNEL IS SKY FROM NOW ON 'FACTS DO MATTER'!!!
FINALYYY 🥳
Is this decision because you think it's the right one, or because of the backlash from the people who still watch your shit?
As much as I do not agree with Pauline's comments at the best of time there is some half-truths in what she said as I am an associate of people in those flats and we can't have just 1/2 truths without having some truth so this is a bag call
Mainstream media hates the truth! Pauline says what everyone is no too scared to say because these days everything offends everyone
About fucking time
Like to inform you I shall no longer be watching your program
The heyday of breakfast TV is long gone, they could ban everyone and no one would notice.
TheTodayShow Should have happened a long time ago. sunriseon7 now it’s your move. paulineisover PaulineHanson trash
Fuck yeah 🤙
HOW ABOUT NO LONGER APPEARING AS A CONTRIBUTOR AT ALL, REGULAR OR OCCASIONAL.
what too many people find out what you guys were doin trying to get ratings hanson is a disgrace but NIneNewsAustralia your not far behind you knew exactly why she was on your programs
Congratulations on discovering Pauline Hanson is a divisive racist 25 years after everyone with a functioning brain realised this the moment she opened her mouth.
umm you only just realised she’s racist and acted on it now? I call BS, you should be ashamed of yourselves for giving her a national platform to spout her racism and xenophobia unchallenged for years now
Free speech is a thing of the past no matter what your view is!
Oh so heroic. She did exactly what you paid her to do. Why the faux outrage now? Advertisers finally had enough? Cos viewers did years ago....boycottTodayShow
cancel culture
Why because She speaks the truth
Pauline was only saying what most Australians are thinking !
About damn time
Too little too late.
You morons at the TODAY Show this is REAL LIFE!. This IS exactly what happens in these try hard little ghettos, I LIVE THERE!. Well done PaulineHansonOz for exposing the truth about these places there's more druggies than on the streets. TODAY SHOW come live with me for a day.
Disgraceful, shame on you Channel 9, very disappointing and a display of your bigatry.
ABOUT TIME. I’m surprised it took you all this long honestly.
Censorship 2020. Hope your proud
Boycott ch 9 🙄 they are just socialist run by sorros 😡😡😡😡😡
Q. What effect will this decision have on ratings ? A. Probably none.
😡 so typical channel 9
Think Today needs Pauline more than she needs you. Sad to see Australian media adopting cancel culture. That’s what this is.
About bloody time !!
Why? what did she say?
Diaguating 9 . No such thing as free speech anymore! Diaguating. Especially when you speak the truth.
Pauline Hanson is scum.
With her views being extreme ... why don't channel have someone of the direct opposite extreme... and let them debate each other. That would be OBJECTIVE viewing.
Great, more one sided news channels. Just what we need...
You literally got her on to hear her outrageous opinions...this is just 9 trying to show they're pc
I won’t be watching the today show ! Left wing show scared of the socialist community.
She is a known racist, & her comments are always ill-informed. Thats why u invited her.
Horse has bolted Nine. You knew what she was like from her Sunrise appearances but U still booked her. 👎👎👎
The three people that watch The Today Show will be upset.
Hey 9 can we also be assured that she won't be on any of your shows as a contributor at all?!
Truth hurts 9. This why we are used as a dumping ground & walked all over by other countries. What happens to our freedom of speech
It’s a known fact drugs, assaults and alcohol are a problem in this area.
Thank God! About time
producers knew exactly the narrative Pauline Hanson would give when she appeared on TheTodayShow this morning she said exactly what you expected her to say now you’re saying you’ve parted ways? I’ll believe you are sincere when you refuse to give a platform to any racists EVER
'She doesn't believe our leftist views so we'll censor her now' fixed it for you
That’s disappointing. While many of her comments were worded incorrectly and could have been voiced better, many of the points behind them were right.
That is weak, if she doesn't agree - cancelled
LOL! 2 un-PC! Truth not wanted in 2020! What they’re doing in Melbourne 2 those 3K residents in hard-clampdown is mega worse than Pauline saying hard truths-She’ll never shut up! She got balls bigger than KingKong & shoots straight! Meanwhile Oz is mistreating multicultural pepo!
Great, I can start watching again.
🤣🤣🤣shes so entertaining
Should have been barred ages ago. What do you think she's going to say when she comes on your show? You know what she's about and that's exactly why you kept having her on, only it's not so entertaining now people are dying, is it?
Well I hope it applies to all your programs. 9NewsQueensland ACurrentAffair9 60Mins Do not give PaulineHansonOz or MRobertsQLD any air time as they promote intolerance and division. auspol
Why? Can't their audience cope with an opposing veiw?
theWhistleblowerMovement Peter Navarro: ‘Chinese Communist Party needs to come clean about coronavirus’ Get ready for the unveiling!
'regular contributor' as in she will still be on but not regularly? Props to taking her off air however why did it take so long to do so?
It's a shame. I don't agree with most of what she says but she does represent the voice of a group of conservative Australians. We should listen to different opinions & be allow to make our decisions or how we feel about things.
So you're still keeping the door open for her though. How about saying she will no longer be appearing on our programme and that's it?
“Regular contributor”. So you’ll pick and choose when it’s the best time to get some “controversial” comments from the countries leading racist. Sounds promising.
Your programs shared this video on social media tons of times after recording with the stupid caption ‘do you agree’? How many people failed here and due to a company culture deliberately facilitated by your heads to promote provocative racist clickbait. Utter junk
Congrats TheTodayShow on the execution of your plan. Your ratings are terrible, so you create some drama, get yourselves in the headlines, only then to appear to take the moral high ground. Take a bow 👏
Gonna do anything about the producers who thought having her on was a good idea? Or are you just doing the bare minimum to avoid losing advertisers and viewers?
Not before time. Racism has no place in our society.
you bunch of goons, no freedom of speech on the 9network no freedom of expression. You should be ashamed of yourself. you are not a news channel. you are a leftwing opinion show.
The truth hurts... 🙄
Who signed off on giving a weekly spot to someone known to espouse racist views and who barely garners 2% of votes in the first place? Do better.
Sigh... Can Simone these days say something they believe in without getting cancelled? Geeee...!
Can’t believe the today show is still going, talk about flogging a dead horse
About time . . she was not a good look for you guys or anyone else who has her on spouting racism . .
