‘A line has well and truly been crossed’: Oliver Peterson opens up on vile threats
Oliver Peterson has broken his silence on a vile and cowardly campaign being waged against him by vegan activists.
It all began on January 23, when he interviewed the author of a map which published the addresses of farming families across Australia.
Activists cherry-picked parts of the interview, took it out of context and spread it across their hate-filled networks.

Since then, Oliver’s personal and public social media accounts and emails have been bombarded with abusive messages and even threats.
But, through all of this Oliver has stayed silent, refusing to give the keyboard warriors what they want… a reaction.
Until now.
On Thursday, during an outdoor broadcast at Westfield Carousel, activists showed up to protest and intimidate Oliver and his listeners.
And then came the straw that broke the camel’s back…
I have been labelled a paedophile and a murderer by some gutless cowards.
A personal story I will reluctantly tell

“There have been some comments made on my personal Instagram account, on photographs of my six-month-old son Edward, labelling me a paedophile and labelling me a murderer.
“Stop with your stunts, stop with your harassment, stop with your intimidation and stop with your bullying,” says Oliver.
“This is vile, it has to stop.”
