Morrison also told PS that he deliberately avoided revealing his judging role to friends in the industry because it always “leads to awkward conversations”.
“It’s a comical situation,” fumed Jones, a now-retired Sydney radio news veteran, citing ACRA’s rules on the objectivity of judges. “The judge and the winner are married, how is it possible that there is no conflict of interest?” I raised this issue at the beginning of the process when I learned that Morrison would be judging the award. I have brought this up repeatedly with the CEO of Commercial Broadcasting and Audio Fort Enners, but absolutely nothing is done about it. This is a journalism award, and good journalism is about justice. I will stop judging. “

Morrison, a former radio journalist who is now news director for Seven Sydney TV’s newsroom, told PS his wife “didn’t know” he was one of the judges, arguing he had judged the award “many times before” , without any problems, and he’s “very good friend” and many previous nominees and winners.
“I find it very offensive for someone to suggest that something inappropriate has happened here,” Morrison said, adding that he, too, had been his wife’s boss in the past, again without any hint of “preferential treatment”.
Asked if he understood why the other judges viewed his marriage as a potential conflict of interest, he said, “That’s not a problem, I’ve been identifying great people for years and there’s no doubt that Heidi is great talent “.
A spokesman for the ACRAs said on Friday afternoon that the rules did not prohibit judging family members’ entries; however, next year’s awards process would be reviewed “to ensure the event reflects industry standards and expectations”.

Allie McPherson Knows how to pander to the tabloids, rolling out the old bikini bottom routine again this week. But in fact, daily mail People gobble up Elle “showing off” her “impressive” figure, but miss the real story: how Elle conquered her “brain fog.”
Apparently it’s all because she’s wearing a little gold pendant around her neck that looks no different from the chain hanging from a cheap turntable from Lovisa. But this pendant is special. The veteran supermodel claims it protects her from “harmful” electromagnetic rays and Wi-Fi exposure.

“I’ve slept better since I put it on and I don’t have as much brain fog,” she says, without a hint of irony. Once a week, the wearer of the pendant must “harmonize” the pendant with his body by holding the pendant 30cm from the breastbone for two minutes.
