The hosts of Channel 9’s Today show have cut short an interview with a woman who refused to wear a mask while shopping inside a Bunnings store in Victoria after saying she could provide “no reasonable explanation” for her actions.
Host Karl Stefanovic told the woman: “I can’t even listen to you anymore. I’m so sorry. It’s wrong.” He then told viewers:
“I’m sorry. I thought we would in some way shape or form get to a reasonable excuse as to why she was doing that otherwise we wouldn’t have got her on in the first place. There’s no reasonable explanation. None. I’m just over it.
“We have had people on our show who are losing loved ones and they have to say goodbye to their loved ones with FaceTime. It’s actually so upsetting. Then we have someone like that who goes in and it is all very difficult for everyone, especially in a working environment like Bunnings. They have to put up with the public coming in and there she is.
“I thought that there is some sense from her but there is none. I apologise from the outset if I was too aggressive with her but there is no place for that in our environment.”
