Big day for Australian TV. As a big fan of “The Project”, I was thrilled. Waleed has always been so smart and articulate and last night was no exception. Many would agree that his acceptance speech was dignified, humble, funny and inspirational. Listening you speak literally brought a tear to my eye. Thank you for bringing the diversity that Australian TV so desperately needs! Waleed’s win is significant. He’s The first non-Caucasian TV personality to be nominated and win a Gold Logie. Those who said he did not deserve to win are just the narrow minded minority who felt threatened by seeing a non-white person gaining popularity in Australia and could never see past his ethnicity to appreciate his talent and intelligence. You are inspirations for all of us. Congratulations Waleed!
