The TODAY show host more of you prefer, Karl Stefanovic, issued an apology – of sorts – on air this morning, following a number of questionable remarks made during yesterday’s show in the course of inadvertently hazardous banter with a group of cricket fans who “gave as good as they got.”
If you need to revisit that episode, you can do so here. You can assess Stefanovic’s self-deprecating apology below, in which he defends the “light-hearted” intention of the original quip while also apologising for calling our New Zealand brethren “dole bludgers [which was] an awful cheap stereotype – and just not true. As we all know, you can’t get the dole in Australia.”
He also manages to slip in the requisite bestiality dig.
Never change, Karl.
“For my Kiwi brothers and sisters, calling you dole bludgers was an awful cheap stereotype and just not true” – Karl#Today9
