Recently, Charlie Pickering, co-host of Channel 10's The Project, was joined on the panel by journalist Steve Price.
The pair got into a war of words when discussing the conditions of controversial refugee settlements in Manus Island.
Pickering, who was once a lawyer, was quick to extinguish Price's allegations.
His passionate rebuttal ending with aplomb.
And sparking a Twitterstorm of praise.
Good work, @charliepick. It's heartening to finally see some passionate defence of human rights in the MSM #manus #nauru

Just watched @theprojecttv from last night and fell a little bit in love with @charliepick #asylumseekers #auspol #asylum
Fair winds Charlie Pickering. And congrat's. Steve would miss you, if he only had a heart.
Did Charlie Pickering leave The Project because he was sick of Steve Price? because I can totally understand that.
Charlie Pickering - Showing what it takes to win the hearts of Australia.
