Morris later stated that as the ceremony was not televised he decided to speak his mind. Billy Thorpe's speech on his Hall of Fame induction, "travelled almost as long ... [he] remembered friends and supporters throughout a 30-year career." According to ARIA spokesperson, Peter Rix, "It was my worst ARIA nightmare come true." Music commentator, Molly Meldrum, disapproved of Morris' speech length—they had already had a fracas at the ARIAs in 1988—Meldrum provided an even longer acceptance speech in 1993.
