Jackson Warne, son of cricketing great Shane, has defended posting videos by Andrew Tate saying he agrees with the misogynist influencer ‘on a few things’.
Warne, 23, shared Youtube clips of Tate ranting about the unfairness of his ban on that platform, as well as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Tate, 35, said the bans were making him a ‘martyr’ and ‘this is the only time in human history where the betas of earth had power over the alphas’.

Controversial influencer Andrew Tate, 35, has been banned from Youtube, Twitter, Facebook, TikTok and Instagram
The TikToker who has racked up billions of views was kicked off various platforms after mounting criticism.
In one Twitter post he suggested women ‘bear some responsibility’ if they are assaulted, which led to him being banned.
In another video, Tate advised men accused of cheating by their girlfriends to ‘bang out the machete, boom in her face and grip her by the neck. Shut up b***h’.
Tate in numerous videos has also called women ‘property’ and noted that he prefers dating women aged 18-19 because it’s easier to leave an ‘impression’ on them.
However, Jackson Warne said those weren’t the messages he was endorsing.
‘I just thought I would quickly come on here and clear the air because I posted a recent story of Andrew Tate and it has clearly triggered or frustrated a few people by just seeing his face on my story,’ Jackson said.
‘I don’t agree with 100 per cent of the things he does say, but I do agree with a few of the things he does say, ie: work hard, don’t give up, be a provider, take control of your own life, don’t be a victim.
‘All these really good qualities he does say do resonate with me a lot. These are qualities that I also view as positives and I think that a lot of people should take them as positives and not just agree with everything he says, because he does say a few outrageous things.’

Jackson went on to blame the media for misrepresenting some of Tate’s videos – something the Tate himself has frequently complained about.
‘I also know how the media can manipulate and control narratives that aren’t true and take things out of context, but I just wanted to come on here and clear the air that I don’t agree with everything he says but I do agree with a few things,’ Jackson wrote.
In a farewell Youtube video Tate said his controversial remarks on women were ‘taken out of context’.
He his video content had been ‘vilified’ as he announced he would be taking ‘a break’ from podcasting.
Tate said the criticism he has received as ‘false narratives’, insisting he has ‘done nothing wrong’ and ‘goes to church’, adding that both he ‘and God know of my innocence’.
The controversy over Jackson post comes after his father died, aged 52, of a heart attack while holidaying in Thailand in March.
Jackson is Shane’s only son and second oldest child.
The leg spinner also had two daughters, Brooke and Summer, with wife Simone Callahan, before the couple divorced in 2005.
