Kyle Sandilands has settled his legal dispute with ARN Media with a $12m cash payment over three years, but Jackie O Henderson's $82m claim against the broadcaster will continue.

The shock jock agreed to drop his $85m lawsuit against KIIS FM, in return for a cash payment and $1.5m in advertising contra on ARN's stations for a new broadcasting venture yet to be announced.

The inquiry heard evidence of residents being pressured to relocate, deceived about their rights and fearful of losing their homes and communities. Those allegations are serious, but Labor's response shows they haven't taken them seriously ... They don't care what the experts say or what people think. We've had to send in the Ombudsman to hold Labor to account before they do irreparable damage.
