“Do not adjust your sets,” Aly joked. “There’s nothing wrong with the picture. I’m sure there’s an Instagram filter you can use to return things to normal, you’ll be fine. This is happening. It’s true. Finally a male presenter on commercial TV has won the Gold Logie.”
Aly also relayed a story about a colleague named Mustafa who had to use a pseudonym because he wouldn’t get a job. “He’s here tonight and it matters to people like him that I’m here.”
