The Spectator Australia’s Australiana Podcast host Will Kingston has criticised Greens Senator Nick McKim for trying to “get a 60second grab on social media” during a fiery supermarket inquiry.

Mr McKim threatened Woolworths CEO Brad Banducci with jail time for providing evasive answers at the inquiry into price gouging.

“This is the Americanisation of Australian politics,” Mr Kingston told Sky News host Andrew Bolt.

“It’s not about holding people to account.

“It’s really a way for a senator like this to get a 60second grab on social media.”
