Karl apologises to the Kiwis, and their ‘attractive livestock’
Yesterday Karl Stefanovic ruffled a few feathers with a bit of banter with an Indian cricket fan asking him who would be manning the 7-Eleven’s while the Australia v India cricket match played out, and suggesting New Zealanders were “dole bludgers”.
Inevitably today Karl was told to apologise on air, so he did – kind of – to “anyone across the ditch, or in Bondi, who took offence”.
“For my Kiwi brothers and sisters, calling you dole bludgers was an awful cheap stereotype and just not true” – Karl#Today9

“Calling you dole bludgers was an awful cheap stereotype – and just not true. As we all know, you can’t get the dole in Australia,” he intoned with a twinkle in his eye, before referencing jandles and their “attractive lot of livestock”.
LEGEND!

There are more Australians on the dole in NZ than vice versa.
(And vice versa isn’t a town you dumb-arse Aussies.)

@Kiwi Boatperson, your allegation that “there are more Australians on the dole in NZ than vice versa” may simply be a product of the depletion of kiwis in NZ due to the mass migration to Australia . . . last one to leave please turn out the light.
