The Project brutally snubbed from the 2025 Logie Awards after getting axed by Channel Ten

The Project has been snubbed in the 2025 TV WEEK Logie Awards nominations after the show was axed by Channel Ten last week.
The beloved current affairs show did not score one nomination in any of the categories.
The program has nabbed seven Logies over the years, including two Gold Logies won by Carrie Bickmore in 2015 and Waleed Aly in 2016.
Waleed, who has won three Logies in the past, was surprisingly absent from this year's nominations.
Similarly, Sarah Harris, 43, Georgie Tunny, 34, and Sam Taunton, 34, weren't recognised.

The Logie nominations were announced on Monday at the Sydney Opera House.
Aussies were relieved to see one certain TV icon up for the most coveted category.
Lynne McGranger, who played Irene Roberts on the soap opera Home and Away for over 33 years, has finally scored a Gold Logie nomination for her hard work.
Taking to Instagram on Monday, the 72-year-old Aussie star gushed about the milestone moment in her career and urged fans to go vote.
'Well this is some fabulous news to get while I'm away!!' she penned.
'I am so thrilled to be nominated for a Silver Logie for Best Lead Actress in a Drama and the coveted GOLD LOGIE!'
Also nominated for the number one gong is A Current Affair's Ally Langdon, 46, who won Best News or Public Affairs Presenter last year.
Not his first rodeo, two-time winner Hamish Blake, 43, is in the draw again for the Gold Logie, having won it back in 2022 for Lego Masters and in 2012 for Hamish and Andy's Gap Year.
The 65th TV WEEK Logie Awards nominees were announced on Monday in the Yallamundi Rooms at the Sydney Opera House, highlighting the very best of TV talent in Australia
Former ABC News Breakfast presenter Lisa Millar, 56, is also in the running for the top prize for her work on Backroads and Muster Dogs.
Also in the running is MasterChef Australia's Poh Ling Yeow, 51, who has recently been plagued with speculation that she may be stepping back from the beloved cooking show.
Julia Morris, 57, is set to battle it out for the Gold Logie too, after hosting Network 10's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! in South Africa alongside conservationist Robert Irwin.
And last but not least, Dancing With The Stars' Sonia Kruger, 59, is up for the number one gong again after nabbing a Gold Logie back in 2023.
The 65th TV WEEK Logie Awards nominees were announced on Monday in the Yallamundi Rooms at the Sydney Opera House, highlighting the very best of TV talent in Australia.
Voting will open for all awards from 9am on Monday June 16 and remain open until 7pm on Friday August 1.

How Waleed Aly found out The Project was cancelled after 16 years: 'It was the hardest day'

After more than a decade fronting The Project, Waleed Aly is bracing himself for life after prime-time TV and the reality of being home in time for dinner. Speaking to Stellar, the 46-year-old broadcaster revealed that while he had a little more notice than some, the show's cancellation still came as a sudden shock. 'I only knew for less than a week before it was public. So it was all fairly sudden,' he said. 'The hardest day was definitely the day it was announced – that's when you are in the room with all your colleagues. People that you've worked with, in some cases, for more than a decade.' While Aly admitted the situation isn't unique to the television industry, he said the emotional weight of the announcement was felt deeply - especially by his own family. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'That's what's added to the emotional weight of all this, because my kids grew up through this show,' he said. 'And talking to the kids about it was actually harder than I expected. It hit them in a way that I didn't quite anticipate.' Aly, who shares two children - Aisha, 22, and Zayd, 18 – with wife Susan Carland, said returning to a regular home routine is a bittersweet adjustment. After years of missing family dinners due to his evening work schedule, he's preparing for a lifestyle shift that includes more cooking – and plenty of cleaning. 'I look forward to cooking more but it's scary contemplating the mountains of dishes I will have to get through. It's hard to see past them,' he said. Aly also acknowledged that his children are now young adults and likely beyond the age of wanting to spend much time with their parents, making the show's end feel like a missed opportunity to reclaim lost time. Despite the changes, Aly said he recognises that job losses and major career shifts are a part of life across all industries. 'This isn't a unique experience to us,' he added. '[It] happens across lots of industries and in lots of workplaces. It's sad every time.' The Project will air its final episode with Aly on Friday night. The Project would be pulled from the schedule after 16 years and more than 4,500 episodes. Its final episode is set to air on June 27, and will be replaced by a single national 6pm news bulletin. Meanwhile, Channel Ten is moving forward with its major re-brand as the network prepares to launch a new current affairs show. The Project hosts Waleed Aly, Sarah Harris and Hamish Macdonald are set to exit the network, while comedian Taunton will continue his guest appearances on other Ten shows. The last episode will air on June 27, with the panel show being replaced by a new current affairs show. After announcing The Project was ending last Monday, Ten released another statement announcing its new look news program. The premium news program, titled 10 NEWS+, is set to hit screens on Monday, June 30, at 6pm on Channel 10 and 10Play. 10 NEWS+ will be broadcast across the country after Network 10's 5pm local news bulletins, offering a deeper analysis of some of the biggest stories of the day. According to Paramount Australia, the segment aims to 'redefine evening news by providing comprehensive analysis, trusted reporting, and long-form investigative journalism'. Keeping up with Australia's constantly evolving mediascape, the news program will be available via broadcast and streaming, as well as on digital and social platforms. The show's lineup will include former 7News journalist Denham Hitchcock and Walkley Award-winner Amelia Brace, who will be regular faces during the 6pm bulletin from Sunday to Thursday. Ursula Heger and Hugh Riminton will take the lead during the Friday broadcast. The anchor team will be supported by reporters including Ashleigh Raper, Bill Hogan, Brianna Parkins, Samantha Butler, Carrie-Anne Greenbank, and Claudia Vrdoljak. Ten's Entertainment Editor Angela Bishop will also

EXCLUSIVE Inside Australia's most alternative wedding as the bride carries DUTCH CARROTS as a bouquet down the aisle

Fashion designer Niamh Galea and her new husband Maximiliano Dal Masetto aren't your average Sydney couple. The Ramp Tramp Tramp Stamp designer, 29, and fashion photographer, 35, wanted every little detail of their 'Catholic mermaid' wedding to be unique. Nimah, who first met Maxi on set of an RTSS shoot, was certain she would walk down the aisle of the Saint Francis Catholic church in Paddington - where she was baptised - in a portion of her grandmother's 1959 Mark Foy wedding gown. She was sure she would carry a vibrant bouquet of Dutch carrots sourced from an artisan florist as she tied the knot in front of 70 guests. The designer was also certain she would drive to her Nielsen Park beach house reception in the couple's lovingly hand decorated white Holden Ute. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Bride Nimah crafted her wedding dress using the original trains and waistband from her grandmother's gown, which was made for her by a colleague at Sydney department store Mark Foy's in 1959 The rest was planned in a 'haphazard' fashion in 15 months, with the lovebirds determined to wed over the Easter long weekend. Lisa Cooper came onboard as the wedding florist. 'She has a fine art background and is on the cusp of florist and artist,' Niamh told Daily Mail Australia. 'I love everything she does and asked if she would do something more experimental.' Niamh's favourite snack is a Dutch carrot, so when she saw a photograph of a carrot bouquet, she asked Lisa if that would work. To her surprise, Lisa said, 'Let's go full carrot'. 'There was a drama where the bridesmaids' Ubers got delayed and I was carrying them for 45 minutes. They were really heavy so I didn't throw the bouquet,' she said. The yellow ribbon was selected to match handmade broaches for the groomsmen, referencing the Sun of May in the centre of the Argentinian flag for Maxi's heritage. When Maxi proposed, Niamh said she wanted to get married right away and would have happily eloped. 'But we both have big Irish and Argentinian families who are emotional and intense. That would not have gone down well. They would not talk to us again,' she joked. However she did admit that planning the wedding was 'definitely stressful.' 'I thought I was too cool to be stressed about a wedding, but I'm not apparently.' However, Niamh didn't want it to feel like a day at the office. 'A friend said to me, "You know Niamh, for a lot of people, this is the fashion show of their life. This is their moment to produce a big event. But it's not a fashion show." 'It's a party and being with people you love. That's what it's all about,' Niamh said. 'The best piece of advice I would give engaged couples is: The DIY things and handcrafted elements that your family and friends are involved in making end up being the most special.' With that ethos at the heart of the day, Niamh set about designing herself two wedding dresses. 'When we were kids, my grandmother had shown me and my sister the trains and waistband of her wedding dress. They were fully beaded appliqué and just the most exquisite thing I had ever seen. 'I remembered that so strongly so I immediately went to ask her if she would let me use them,' she said. 'My brand is very sentimental. Everything is imbued with meaning,' she added before revealing her dresses would be the same. 'My grandma's waist is tiny and mine is not tiny at all. So I reinterpreted that into my veil,' she explained. Niamh got all her fashion designer friends to give her small sentimental objects, which she then beaded onto the dress alongside shells from the beaches where she had her first date with Maxi, the one where he proposed, and Irish luck charms. Her 93-year-old grandmother helped with the finishing touches. 'My mum got married in a 1920s-style Zambeesi dress, so I made a cotton Poplin 1920s style tea dress for the reception,' she said. The couple's white Holden Rodeo Ute served as the 'Just Married' vehicle, which was fitted out with handmade decorations made by their friends. 'It's the first car I've ever owned. We bought it together. It's one of these things where every six months we're sure it's about to die,' Niamh said. She begged Maxi to hold onto the car until the wedding. 'I've never felt so famous in my life. Every stranger was waving and beeping at us as we drove off. It was so fun.' The morning after the wedding, the newlyweds were driving home when they got pulled over by New South Wales Police, who threatened to fine them over the decorations - but let them off with a warning. Niamh first met Maxi when he reached out to her to see if she would be interested in doing a photoshoot with him for her Darlinghurst-based independent fashion label. 'There was an instant vibe,' she said. The pair started casually seeing each other, and to Niamh's surprise, when she first visited Maxi's Potts Point apartment — she came face to face with a drawing of herself on his wall. Maxi had unwittingly purchased the artwork from a friend of Niamh's from fashion school, who had recreated her likeness from an old Instagram selfie and sold it to him in a fundraiser for the 2020 Australian bushfires. 'Out of hundreds of drawings, he'd chosen the one of me,' she laughed. 'I realised because I was wearing one of my own designs.' The couple put the drawing in a drawer for three years, lest it was bad luck, but it now has a pride of place in their martial home.

Sydney Opera House: The one man on speed dial for 50 years

Since the Sydney Opera House opened over 50 years ago, countless musical stars, world leaders and awestruck patrons have visited its iconic outside forecourt has been blanketed by thousands of bare bodies in the name of art and, inside, an only slightly less naked Arnold Schwarzenegger even won a body-building title. There have been renovations and controversies, protests staged and history the constant, through it all, is Terry been tuning the building's pianos for half a century, working behind the scenes to make sure the uber-technical instruments are ready for the world's best a family legacy started by his father when the Opera House first opened in 1973 - and one that ended this week, with Terry's retirement. The 69-year-old still remembers the first time he stepped into the half-finished Opera House, as a wide-eyed child."The sails were up, but it was all very bare," he tells the BBC, gesturing to the edges of the grand Concert Hall."There was nothing inside… You could see out to the harbour on both sides."At the time, he had no inkling he'd spend most of his life inside the iconic venue. His dad, on the other hand, no doubt had grand plans, Terry then, Liverpool emigrant Ron Harper was renowned on the Sydney music scene as both a piano tuner and a performer."He would take me to these nightclubs as a [kid] in my little school uniform. And I would be seeing all of these world-class acts," Terry recalls. He rattles off a list including Welsh songstress Dame Shirley Bassey, stage icon Liza Minelli, and British TV and music darling Cilla Black – whom they even drove home after her performance one night."It was an interesting childhood," Terry surmises, with a it's one which instilled in him a love of music – even if he wasn't particularly interested in making it ironically, Terry admits he spent about a year learning piano before giving it up, dabbling with the drums and his school choir was in 1973, shortly after the Opera House was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II, that his father Ron got his fateful call-up."One day, the Sydney Symphony was rehearsing downstairs, and the piano hadn't been tuned particularly well by whoever had been in in the morning," Terry says. "One of the people working here knew my dad." Three years later, a 19-year-old Terry would join Ron under the sails, after completing a one-year piano tuning course when he left started on rehearsal pianos in the backroom, while building up his skills and confidence, before finally taking over when his dad retired a decade days, he can walk into a room and immediately know if the piano is out of tune."I always had a very good sense of pitch," he says, "[but] it's difficult to master."And it's all done by on the piano in front of him, he explains this one has 243 strings. For most of the keys, three separate steel wires combine to make the note."Once they start to deviate from the same frequency, they cause these things which we call beats, and that's what we're listening for when we're tuning.""Can you hear this?" he asks, I – a music pleb - cannot."It's not like tuning a guitar," he says, offering me some solace. The process can take up to 90 minutes, and each of the 30 pianos in the building need to be tuned basically every time they're used."There's so many strings in there that can wander out of tune, especially when you're playing big piano concertos," Terry explains."I refer to these as being F1 racing cars… They're really gunning them."It can be a demanding and relentless job."It doesn't stop. And it's night times, it's early mornings, it's two and three times a day," Terry the perks – which include brushing shoulders with some of the globe's most-decorated musicians and easy access to the most sought-after tickets in town - aren't to be scoffed at, he hastens to has also tuned pianos in many other notable locations - from the Royal Albert Hall and Abbey Road Studios to the BBC broadcast none occupy a spot in his heart like the Opera House."For me, it's a very happy place. It's pretty much been my life." Earlier this year, after five decades, Terry decided it was time to hang up the tools."I got quite cozy during Covid, not having to work," he son couldn't be tempted to take up the family business – "he's into computer stuff, like all good young men are" – and so Friday also marked the end of the Harper legacy inside the Sydney Opera venue has opened a tender for a new contractor to tune their pianos – and Terry says he's heard a rumour they could be replacing him with several tuners."I think somebody owes me some money… I've been doing the work of six people," he aside, he admits that as his departure has crept closer, a wave of emotions came with it."Piano tuners, we're fairly solitary," he says. "We like to be in a room by ourselves with quiet, because you have to focus and listen to what you're doing… [but] I've always had the camaraderie of all the people that work here.""I'm going to miss the place."
