What does it matter about his race. I know plenty of people who want to get a job in journalism but can't. How would a caucasian journo go getting a job on a Nepalese TV station ?

Must be a spot within the ABC Being so diverse and righteous. 🇦🇺🤡

Well I wish him luck.

Rather than write this article.... Maybe you hire him?

To be fair, he is a guest here and should be grateful. He could leave at any time. Like you say, this isn't his home.

You mean he can't get a gig on channel 7 or 9 breakfast shows. Noooooooo.

Ok! Not interested.

What? He didnt make it into the media industry after a couple of years trying? That never happens, right? Normally there's so little competition for media jobs that people just go straight in to a great job as soon as they apply? Just shows how racist we are etc.

This is not news!

And…🤔

Haven’t you noticed? All AU TV reporters are white with most female reporters blonde?

who'd thought that? cmon who?

Who the fuck is that

What country is he from
