Off The Record
On the 8 May 2007, Denyer created controversy during a radio interview on Nova 969, where he said he felt as though he "had sex with a black man", making reference to being exhausted after heavy filming and travelling and late night due to the 2007 Logie awards. Denyer made a public apology the same night which was broadcast at the end of Today Tonight.
Opposition multicultural spokesman at the time, Laurie Ferguson, stated that "the comments were deplorable and could be referred to the Australian broadcasting watchdog". ACMA, however, did not proceed after Denyer's public apology.

Famous quotes containing the word record:
“... many of the things which we deplore, the prevalence of tuberculosis, the mounting record of crime in certain sections of the country, are not due just to lack of education and to physical differences, but are due in great part to the basic fact of segregation which we have set up in this country and which warps and twists the lives not only of our Negro population, but sometimes of foreign born or even of religious groups.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
