Noni Hazlehurst, 62, has used her Hall of Fame induction speech at the Logies to take aim at the lack of diversity within the Australian TV industry and weigh in on the refugee debate.<\/h3>\n

“The fact that I\u2019m only the second woman to be given this honour is merely a reflection of the prevailing guard,\u201d Hazlehurst said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs is the suggestion from some quarters that the eligibility of esteemed colleagues Waleed Aly and Lee Lin Chin going for gold is questionable.”<\/p>\n

Project co-host Waleed Aly later won the Gold Logie for the Best Personality on Australian TV and also picked up the award for Best Presenter.<\/p>\n

But Hazlehurst compared the rate of change inside the TV industry to the speed of a glacier.<\/p>\n

“The great thing about glaciers is if you\u2019re not on them you go under. I\u2019ve been riding that glacier for 40 years. And I\u2019m staying on top of it,” she said.<\/p>\n

Hazlehurts also took a swing at PM Malcolm Turnbull\u2019s recent reaction to the Manus Island refugee debate, saying: \u201cI was disturbed … that a misty eyed response to a particularly frightful human story in the news was deemed inappropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n

She then went on to call for television content that \u201cinspires\u201d and reassured viewers \u201cthat there are good things happening and good people in the world”.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want people to think I want everyone to be lovely and sweet, I don\u2019t want that, that\u2019s just stupid. What I want is to try and redress the imbalance, to actually have something that acts as an anecdote to this unremitting negativity because I really think people are suffering and it\u2019s dividing us.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just think it\u2019s really important that people can watch something that actually makes them feel good about being alive.<\/p>\n

\u201cChange only happens when enough people put up their hands and say \u2018we\u2019ve had enough.<\/p>\n

\u201cI look forward to the day where it\u2019s not an issue whether a man or a woman, or an Asian person or a Muslim gets anything in this country.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe share more similarities than differences and I think I\u2019m really keen to promote that idea because I think any other idea is divisive and potentially disastrous,” she said.<\/p>\n
