<div class="post_body_wrapper"> <div class="post_body"> <div class="body_text redactor-styles redactor-in"> <p>TV veteran Kerri-Anne Kennerley has given her take on the latest parliamentary sexual misconduct scandals to rock Canberra in the last month or more.</p> <p>She told<span> </span><a rel="noopener" href="https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/entertainment/sydney-confidential/kerrianne-kennerley-weighs-in-on-sexual-violence-against-women/news-story/53c0507ad12a6587195b80b466698e56" target="_blank"><em>The Daily Telegraph's Confidential</em></a><span> </span>that most men, in general, are not to blame when it comes to sexual violence against women.</p> <p>"Most [men] are actually fantastic.

Kerri-Anne Kennerley’s controversial “speed bumps” comments generate official complaints

<p>Comments made by<span> </span><em>Studio 10</em><span> </span>host Kerri-Anne Kennerley have landed her in hot water, as official complaints have been lodged to the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA).</p> <p>In a statement to<span> </span><a rel="noopener" href="https://au.lifestyle.yahoo.com/kerri-anne-kennerley-comments-spark-official-complaints-022523135.html" target="_blank"><em>Yahoo Lifestyle</em></a>, the media authority confirmed that complaints were made over Kennerley’s comments on the Extinction Rebellion protesters.</p> <p>Her comments suggested that protestors be used as “speed bumps” as well as being left in jail without food.</p> <p>“The ACMA has received four complaints regarding the comments made by Ms Kennerley regarding Extinction Rebellion protesters,” a spokesperson told <em>Yahoo Lifestyle</em>.</p> <p>The comments made by Kennerley were part of a panel discussion over the arrest of protesters who are disrupting traffic as part of the week long “Spring Rebellion” climate change protests.</p> <p>“Personally, I would leave them all super glued to wherever they do it,” Kennerley said, adding that emergency services should not be aiding the protesters.</p> <p>“No emergency services should help them, nobody should do anything, and you just put little witches hats around them, or use them as a speed bump.”</p> <p>Despite Sarah Harris, another<span> </span><em>Studio 10</em><span> </span>co-host saying that Kennerley’s comments were going to get them into trouble, she did not hold back.</p> <p>“Put them in jail, forget to feed them,” Kennerley continued.</p> <p>“(Or) some of the aged care homes around Australia, that would really sort them out.”</p> <p>However, in a statement obtained by<em> <a rel="noopener" href="https://junkee.com/kerri-anne-kennerley-climate-rebellion/224397" target="_blank">Junkee</a>, Channel 10</em> have stood by Kennerley’s comments, saying that they were “in jest”.</p> <p>“This morning on Studio 10 Kerri-Anne Kennerley made comments regarding climate protesters that were said in jest. Before the show concluded, Sarah Harris reiterated the tone of her remarks, affirming that Kerri-Anne wasn’t inciting violence.</p> <p>“Kerri-Anne confirmed that she was indeed speaking in hyperbole and her words were clearly a joke. There was no intent to cause offence. Over the past few days, Studio 10 has extensively addressed a range of opinions on this subject.”</p> <p>ACMA refers complaints to the broadcasters initially, and will only take action if after 60 days, no response has been issued from the broadcaster.

“Use them as a speed bump”: Kerri-Anne Kennerley slams climate change protesters

<p>Controversial<em> Studio 10</em><span> </span>host Kerri-Anne Kennerley has slammed climate change protesters and urged motorists should “use them as speed bumps”.</p> <p>She made the comments this morning on the show after a news story about arrests of Extinction Rebellion protesters who were disrupting traffic and services across the country as part of a week long “Spring Rebellion”.</p> <p>“Personally, I would leave them all super glued to wherever they do it,” she said.</p> <p>“The guy hanging from the Story Bridge. Why send emergency services? Leave him there until he gets himself out. No emergency services should help them, nobody should do anything, and you just put little witches hats around them, or use them as a speed bump.”</p> <p>Kennerley quickly realised she might have gone too far.</p> <p>“Oh, we’re going to get into trouble! Is that wrong?”</p> <p>She quickly added:</p> <p>“Put them in jail, forget to feed them. Some of the aged care homes around Australia, that would really sort them out.”</p> <p>Extinction Rebellion spokesman James Norman has condemned Kennerley’s comments, and spoke to<span> </span><em><a rel="noopener" href="https://www.news.com.au/technology/environment/climate-change/use-them-as-a-speed-bump-kerrianne-kennerley-suggests-running-over-climate-change-protesters/news-story/6dcec4f260d9df8f2cf3f6f4542e8614" target="_blank">news.com.au</a></em><span> </span>about their impact.</p> <p>“Kerri-Anne Kennerley really should think very carefully before making such statements about the impacts they could have. The motivation behind Extinction Rebellion is just to draw attention to the climate emergency, and we always seek to do so in a disruptive but strictly nonviolent manner.”</p> <p>Mr Norman added, “Respect for other people is at the centre of our ethos and principles, and I would hope other people, especially public commentators, would approach us with the same level of respect for common decency.”</p> <p>Kennerley’s comments come after Queensland Premier Annastacia Palazszuk has said “enough is enough” and that she wants protesters to be sent to jail.</p> <p>“Most people do the right thing, it’s just this group who need to be brought under control,” she said to<span> </span><em><a rel="noopener" href="https://www.couriermail.com.au/news/queensland/queensland-government/send-protesters-to-prison-premier-annastacia-palaszczuk/news-story/9e54a22619e9573f7ca314bf72c217ab" target="_blank">The Courier-Mail</a></em>.</p>

<p>The past couple of years haven’t been kind to Kerri-Anne Kennerley’s husband John, who <a href="http://www.oversixty.com.au/news/news/2016/03/kerri-anne-kennerley-husband-broken-c2-and-c3-vertebrae/" target="_blank"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">became a quadriplegic</span></strong></a> as a result of a serious fall in early 2016, so understandably, the Aussie TV legend wants to make her hubby’s Christmas extra special this year.</p> <p>Speaking to <a href="https://honey.nine.com.au/2017/12/19/11/55/kerri-anne-kennerley-and-husband-john-special-plans-for-christmas" target="_blank"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">9Honey</span></strong></a>, KAK revealed she’s enlisted some surprising help to ensure John can make it to their friend’s Christmas Eve get-together.</p> <p>“My best girlfriend Elizabeth does Christmas Eve for 30 people and we’re all going,” she explained. “We were almost not going because she has four steps which means you need a six-metre ramp for John’s chair.</p> <p>“Then I thought, we have Woollahra fire station literally behind us so yesterday I went to visit them, and they could not have been more fabulous.</p> <p>“I said, ‘I need a fireman to lift John’s wheelchair up four stairs a block away on Christmas Eve at about 7pm, and then help carry him down the stairs at approximately 10.30.’ He said, ‘Absolutely, we do these things for the community. Any time 24/7 you need help with John we’re always here.”</p> <blockquote style="background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 658px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);" class="instagram-media"> <div style="padding: 8px;"> <div style="background: #F8F8F8; line-height: 0; margin-top: 40px; padding: 50.0% 0; text-align: center; width: 100%;"> <div style="background: url(data:image/png; base64,ivborw0kggoaaaansuheugaaacwaaaascamaaaapwqozaaaabgdbtueaalgpc/xhbqaaaafzukdcak7ohokaaaamuexurczmzpf399fx1+bm5mzy9amaaadisurbvdjlvzxbesmgces5/p8/t9furvcrmu73jwlzosgsiizurcjo/ad+eqjjb4hv8bft+idpqocx1wjosbfhh2xssxeiyn3uli/6mnree07uiwjev8ueowds88ly97kqytlijkktuybbruayvh5wohixmpi5we58ek028czwyuqdlkpg1bkb4nnm+veanfhqn1k4+gpt6ugqcvu2h2ovuif/gwufyy8owepdyzsa3avcqpvovvzzz2vtnn2wu8qzvjddeto90gsy9mvlqtgysy231mxry6i2ggqjrty0l8fxcxfcbbhwrsyyaaaaaelftksuqmcc); display: block; height: 44px; margin: 0 auto -44px; position: relative; top: -22px; width: 44px;"></div> </div> <p style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;"><a style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BOT9L0QjF_7/" target="_blank">A post shared by Kak 💁 (@kerriannekennerley)</a> on Dec 21, 2016 at 11:55pm PST</p> </div> </blockquote> <p>How sweet is that? And as for the big day itself, to make things easier for both of them, Kerri-Anne and John will be hosting the festivities at their home. “The kids will jump in the pool and I'll do roast pork, prawns and other seafood,” she said.</p>
