TV host lashes out at local council for trying to replace Captain Cook logo with a squiggle

News24 host James Macpherson reacts to Sutherland Shire Council debating whether to get rid of Captain Cook from their logo, which has been in place since 1906.

“Why would you want to get rid of the Cook logo? Yes, it’s old-fashioned; the squiggle is far more modern,” Mr Macpherson said.

“Why this incessant need to jettison our history? Are they worried someone is going to vandalise the logo because Captain Cook is so controversial now?

“Are they just trying to be one of the cool kids?”
