Telling that it’s only in comedy where every single nominee isn’t Anglo.
1 in 4 Australians born out of Oz.
1 in 3 Sydney-siders.
Australian TV is where US TV was 10-15 years ago: Completely out of step with life on the street and the broader culture.
Want young “minorities” to feel part of the culture? Include them FFS. Or don’t… it leads to better comedy.
