Australian conservative senator Cory Bernardi is calling for the sacking of the ABC executive who allowed a comedy sketch using explicit language to criticize a member of his party on the Tom Ballard show.

The comedy show aired a sketch last week labeling conservative candidate for the Batman by-election Kevin Bailey by a crude obsanity.

An ABC spokesperson has responded by saying they will respond to the Minister and Senator Bernardi in due course, following Communication Minister Mitch Fifield saying the ABC crossed a line.
