Leaked audio has emerged of the moment Channel Seven media personality and Lord Mayor Basil Zempilas commented about a female colleague sitting on her knees at a press conference in an on-air moment that sparked outrage.
The Triple M breakfast host and Perth politician was attacked online for the allegedly disgusting comment made on Thursday morning leading him to furiously claim on Twitter that his remarks had been taken out of context.
In the audio - which was cut from Triple M s full show podcast of Breakfast with Basil, Xav and Jenna but obtained by Daily Mail Australia, Zempilas came to realise that his words about Jenna Clarke sitting on the floor during Christian Porter s press conference could be interpreted the wrong way.
