      Man getting a job as a reporter can’t be easy I’d think they wouldn’t do something like that

      As if this wont be a massive win for her career. She’ll be a Sunrise host before the year’s out.

      >Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on Thursday he was was “pro-Danika”.

      >”Good on her. She’s over in Italy and she would have been tired,” he said adding: “It’s the time difference, it would have been having an impact. Nothing to see here.”

      Good to see the PM backing her. Classic Aussie behavior being drunk on tv is nothing new here.

      >Mason had stumbled over her words and talked about iguanas and the price of coffee as she reported on the day’s sports events.

      Legend lmao. Sounds like my mum after a couple drinks. You won’t find too many Aussies that are offended by having a few cheeky drinks beforehand. She apologised, and owns her behaviour. Let her move on.

      Yeah, not great – but not terrible.

      We’ve all made mistakes (just *generally* without it being broadcast/able to be replayed) – and without the feeling it’s going to haunt us forever.

      Ideal outcome for this one is that it doesn’t happen again, and we let it go.

      Lmao, looked it up – thought they’d only be a little tipsy.

      She was fucking plastered

      Aren’t they one of the channels that always has a go at ABC hosts for being drunk during the New Year’s Eve show?

      She drinks on the job and it’s “what a legend” and “make her Australian of the year” but I drink on the job and it’s “sir that’s a pot plant not a urinal” and “please attend this meeting with HR”

      Honestly it was pretty good considering. If you hadn’t told me I’d have just said it was really cold

      I wonder if her boyfriend showed her his secret trick to confusing the breathalyser?

      Love Karl’s reaction. He instantly knows what’s going on and after he composes himself goes to pre-emptively defend Dannika talking about how extreme cold can lead to slurred speech. Real big bro energy right there

      In my mind, this is what makes Australia – Australia. We dont take ourselves to serious. Despite all of the pearl clutching and worn out fainting couches, I’m sure it will be ok.

      Why the fuck was the PM commenting on this ? No important issues in Australia right ? FFS, the cringe.

      > Look, not having had dinner probably didn’t help as well.

      “I foolishly omitted to have dinner to mask my drinking. I’d like to assure everyone that I won’t be making that mistake again.”

      I don’t have any problem with an incident like this but it’s kinda cringe how being visibly intoxicated is so celebrated in Australia. There’s nothing special about getting drunk

      Danica Mason has never done anything wrong in her entire life and is a beautiful, sweet angel.
