The Project Australia has been slammed on social media after a "disgraceful" segment saw the show's hosts mock the way a man spoke.
On Monday night's episode of The Project, Australian comedian Tommy Little introduced a sound bite of mining CEO Geoff Summers speaking in Tasmania.
"First I want you to have a look at him right? Here's a picture, he's tough, I reckon he looks rich, he looks mean and he's a miner, that's the information we know about," Little explained as an image of Mr Summers was shown on screen.
"He's a man's man, talking about the mines," guest panellist Rove McManus quipped in a mock deep voice.
"So see if this is how you were expecting him to sound," Little said, before playing a clip of Mr Summers speaking to workers.
