Controversy
On 13 December 2023, ABC ombudsman Fiona Cameron found that the 24 November 2023 edition of the Hip Hop Show breached the ABC's standards for due impartiality and for the responsible management of controversial programme material after guest presenter Miss Kaninna delivered pro-Palestine comments during the show, prompting complaints.[6][7]
