Younger Australians Confused As To How Their Parents Didn't Find This Guy Extremely Sus

Younger Australians are scratching their heads after watching the recent Rolf Harris documentary on ABC.

"Wait, you guys thought this guy wasn't sus?" asked 21 year old Zoe Fishcer.

Zoe, who only had a vague idea who the once prolific Australian entertainer was, is genuinely shocked that her parents saw his onstage kissing of girls on live TV, his friendship with Jimmy Savile, and his generally unsettling demeanour, and somehow failed to consider that anything might be wrong.

"They keep telling me he was like a loveable uncle, I genuinely don't understand what was loveable about him."

The university student says the entire documentary felt less like a shocking revelation and more like watching every red flag imaginable being politely ignored for several decades.

"He literally has the energy of the bloke your mum tells you to stay away from who's lingering around a shopping centre. The suspenders, the weird grin, the wobble board."

Meanwhile, Australians over 60 have defended themselves by insisting that it was simply 'a different time'.

"You've got to understand, back then if a man wore a colourful jumper and hugged 14 year old girl for a little too long on live TV, we just assumed he was trustworthy," explained one Baby Boomer. 

Gen Z viewers remain unconvinced, arguing that even without hindsight, the entertainer gave off the vibe of someone you cross the street to avoid.
