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
