I think a year 10 work experience kid wrote it.
A reporter on 3AW’s afternoon news said this as well. Unbelievable.

Surprised it took them so long to confirm broadcasting it, especially since 10 were quick off the bat to announce theirs and they always lag behind.
Even more surprised to see they’re sending Larry & Kylie to Melbourne.

So it looks like all the major networks breakfast shows will be covering Bert’s memorial. But wouldn’t Ten have the most extensive amount of footage of him from GMA?
Is it a funeral or a memorial? The networks and state government are saying funeral?
Funeral.
