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!
Given a choice between Karl and a sheep……………………
Awesome – take THAT political correctness.
Kiwis slave away as hard workers in Australia and are NOT eligible to receive the dole.
Nor should they Ross! Now back to the salt mines!
Good onya Karl, say it how it is mate
Psst Ross. Anyone who works here is not eligible for the dole.
There are more Australians on the dole in NZ than vice versa.
(And vice versa isn’t a town you dumb-arse Aussies.)
It’s to be expected as Australia’s commercial TV is full of crap. watched by bogans.
@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.
