Waleed Aly and Patricia Karvelas blasted over ‘offensive’ education comments

The Australian’s media writer Sophie Elsworth has criticised The Project host Waleed Aly and ABC radio presenter Patricia Karvelas for their “offensive” comments on the Voice to Parliament’s failure.

The Project host pointed out that those in seats with high levels of tertiary education were “at the very top end” of the ‘Yes’ vote.

“That’s not to say people who were educated know what they’re doing and people who don’t have tertiary education don’t,” Mr Aly said.

Ms Karvelas pointed out that the Yes vote was achieved in places where voters have a bachelor’s degree and “educated people”.

Ms Elsworth slammed both news hosts saying their comments are offensive to many Australians who voted ‘No’.

“They seem to be not able to come to terms with the fact that there was a resounding No vote in this country,” she told Sky News host Andrew Bolt.
