Prior to 2020, Pete Evans was a judge on the popular Aussie TV reality cooking show, My Kitchen Rules.

He was just another celebrity chef, not that different to the rest of the foodie loving kitchen tyrants, or so we thought.

Today, we find out what happens to someone like Pete Evans, banned from the mainstream, and left to the echo chambers of the far right conspiracy theorists. 

Has the banishment led to any meaningful change or did it actually make matters worse?
