Philosopher Peter Singer's speaking slot at SkyCity in June has been cancelled by the company because of his controversial views about killing disabled babies.

Singer was booked into SkyCity for "An Evening with Peter Singer" on June 14, as part of a speaking tour raising money for his charity, but the venue has now pulled the plug, fearing "reputational damage".
