Here's a thought, #Logies, instead of a low-hanging-fruit joke about #KarlStefanovic, how about taking his #GoldLogie off him? Or are we ok with giving folk who support alt-right facists and Nazis that kind of public recognition?

Vale, #BillOddie. The Goodies are a huge chunk of my childhood. Me and my sister loved them. We wore out the family VCR watching re-run after re-run to the point we could recite them by heart. And in every episode, Bill was larger than life, and so much more in the years that followed.
