Tom Elliott says Q&A host Stan Grant was wrong to evict a pro-Russian audience member.

Sasha Gillies-Lekakis was asked to leave by Grant after he said he supported Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

Tom Elliott said while he didn’t agree with that view, he supported his right to voice his opinion.

“The problem now is, it’s going to become a safe space,” he said on 3AW Drive.

“If you have the correct ideas, the ideas with which the majority agree, you’ll be invited on the program, you can become an audience member, you can ask a question.

“But if you have an unpopular point of view then you get asked to leave.

“That is wrong.”
