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:
“Such is the role of poetry. It unveils, in the strict sense of the word. It lays bare, under a light which shakes off torpor, the surprising things which surround us and which our senses record mechanically.”
—Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
