Grant knew of the decision five weeks ago, but she wasn't told why.
She told smh.com.au today: "We've known for a while. They have said we've had five great years and that's it. They haven't given us or anyone else a very good reason."
Gibson also told Trioli's program that satire did not come under the new guidelines.
Anderson posted a blog last night promising to "go out with all guns a'blazing".
Hughes said axing the show made little sense and this morning on his radio show urged fans to watch the remaining four episodes.
"We have had our best ratings ever," he said.
News of the show's demise comes a day after the Liberal NSW senator Connie Fierravanti-Wells said Grant had been guilty of a serious conflict of interest because she was the public face of the ACTU's workplace relations campaign.

It also follows revelations the ABC will pay a new chief censor $280,000 a year to investigate and monitor instances of bias on ABC programs.
Anderson, Hughes and Grant regularly make jokes about Mr Howard and the US President, George Bush, provoking critics to accuse them of bias.
But during a recent show Anderson responded to criticism by saying if former Labor leader Mark Latham were in power they would be having a great time.
The last episode of The Glass House will go to air on November 29.

i was devasted by the canceling of the show. I really want to throw a rock throw ABC's window, so they know how much they shattered my tv dreams
p.s. maybe it will pull a family guy and rise again 2-3 years down the road.

I'm not happy. I love that show. I like Dave best. He's crazy. Wil is my least favourite. Corrine is ok.
Whatever happened to that thing called 'freedom of speech'?
It really sucks. Sometimes I even tell the rabbits in the morning when I go out to feed them "The Glass House is on tonight." I don't know why I do. I'm just strange.
The Glass House is on tonight actually in about 45 minutes.

This is the first I've heard of it. That is f*cked up. I am so disappointed, I love that show. I guess ABC thought it would be ok to air until people started watching it...

I didn't know it was cancelled. But you're right it is and I'm not too happy about it. Another good Aussie show gone...
