Controversy

On 23 June 2010, at the inaugural Radio Roast Fane told a celebrity audience that "Hitler had a right", people living with HIV deserved to be "roasted", and "Jews were expendable". Several days after a hoax resignation was circulated to media outlets, Fane apologised to the New Zealand AIDS Foundation (NZAF) and New Zealand Jewish Council. Both organisations accepted his apology on behalf of their communities. Fane was suspended from his Radio Network breakfast show for one week.[2][3][4]
