“I feel extremely sick … The comments are so hurtful against women’s sport,” she said.

“If there were little boys and girls in the car, please know that you are welcome to play sport, sorry I am upset to whatever level.

“The biggest thing we can ask for is for men to be on our side.”

Southern Cross Austereo chief content officer Dave Cameron said a new Drive host would be announced “in due course”.

Cameron emphasized the importance that Southern Cross Austereo (SCA) places on fulfilling its obligations to listeners, shareholders, and clients by ensuring that its content resonates with the values and demands of its audience.

“Right now, it’s clear this is a moment for reflection and review.

“Triple M, and the wider SCA network, will continue to take all necessary steps to support staff.

“Triple M acknowledges Marty’s contribution over the past four years, and we wish him well for the future.”
