The Father’s Day Council has named David Koch as its Australian Father of the Year.
“I’m absolutely stunned with the news!” Kochie said.
“When the Father’s Day Council explained that they were looking for someone who was just a normal bloke but proud of being a dad, I thought ‘that’s me.’”
I guess they’d overlooked all the fathering Bert Newton has had to do with his kids these last 12 months?
Press Release:
Sunrise co-host David Koch has been named the 2007 Australian Father of the Year.
The father-of-four was awarded the prestigious title at the annual Father’s Day luncheon at NSW Parliament House in Sydney today.
“I’m absolutely stunned with the news!” Kochie said
“When I first discovered I had been nominated, I was hesitant; after all I don’t consider myself a perfect father! But when the Father’s Day Council explained that they were looking for someone who was just a normal bloke but proud of being a dad, I thought ‘that’s me’ and I’m delighted to have a role in promoting fatherhood in Australia.”
Previous Father of the Year recipients include Mark Taylor AM (1995), Slim Dusty (1999) and Ron Delezio (2006).

Awwwww Groooite MMMoooooite….
PUKE!
A totally commercial Father … Who’ll BUY that one!
gee I can’t believe to be father of the year you need to be in the media.
Oh, that’s great! Go Kochie!!!
What a disgrace.
It amazes me that most of Kochie’s kids are living overseas..maybe that is why he is such a good father..And the kids are grown up…what about the single Dad’s struggling to do a ghood job on a small wage…they are the real heroes, not Kochie..
Alec Baldwin might win the US equivelant …
