The gold Logie has to go. Gone are the days of actual performers like Don, Burt or graham.Carrie Bickmore’s win had nothing to do with cancer yet her speech about cancer has everyone on FB talking about how deserving a winner she is? Wake up people she is on the panel of the project and was missing for most of last year. How is that worthy of a nom?
