I heard on the news tonight that Melbourne is sick of stumping up a million quid every year to host The Logie Awards. I don't blame them. The idea of taxpayers chipping in, so that a bunch of millionaires can get together and pat each other on the back, is maddening. Unfortunately, there's now talk about the organisers sniffing around Queensland, looking for a replacement handout. It's bad enough that we're going to be pissing away a fortune on the fuckin' Commonwealth Games—and possibly the Olympics as well—the last thing we need to be shelling out for is this wankfest. When other industries want to hold conventions and hand out awards, they fund the bloody things themselves. I see no reason why this mob of parasites can't do the same.
