Bitter finale for Hi-5 pair Nathan Foley and Kellie Hoggart
- Foley, Hoggart allegedly sacked
- Managers wanted younger performers
Confidential has been informed the show's producers, Southern Star, dropped the two remaining original group members without consultation - opting to recruit younger, cheaper performers to the nationally renowned children's entertainment troupe.
Foley, 29, was reportedly the last to hear that his Hi-5 days were numbered. They both announced their "retirement" last month.
"He stopped for petrol on the North Coast and a guy at the petrol station says to him, 'Hey, my brother got your job yesterday'. It was the first he'd heard about being replaced," a source who wished to remain nameless said.
When asked if that was how he had learned he was being ditched, Foley refused to comment.
"Look, I don't really want to talk about it," he said.
"I've got a contract until Christmas and I intend to honour it."
The reason Foley and Hoggart, who were once engaged, still have contracts is because the producers want to include them in the line-up for a Carols By Candlelight program, which broadcasts on Christmas Eve. But come Christmas Day, the pair will be unemployed.
The new yet-to-be-announced cast members are believed to be almost a decade younger than Foley and Hoggart and infinitely cheaper to employ for concert tours.
"The performers in Hi-5 aren't wealthy like The Wiggles. They don't get a percentage of profits, they just get a salary," one source said.
"The original cast members were on high salaries - a problem for producers when they want to take the group on the road for extensive touring. Southern Star will save a lot of money replacing them with younger talent."
Of the other three original members - Tim Harding, Kathleen de Leon and Charli Robinson - only Robinson has successfully pursued a follow-up TV career.

This post is to illustrate NOT the headline facts BUT rather the underlying message about SHOW "BUSINESS".
It is NOT about YOU who wants to MAKE IT ($$$) in the industry, it's the Producers / Financiers who let you in to make VAST amount of MONEY from you.
In the early days Michael Jackson made 2-3% from HIS record sales, i.e 97% pocketed by the Record Company.
The Entertainment Industry is in STRICT FINANCIAL CONTROL by a few families, managed by various "CEO's".
Kellie Hoggart married within the Australian family media, a producer Michael Crawford.

ANZAC Day - The British Betrayal
The 25th of April marks the day of remembrance for Australian and New Zealand soldiers (ANZAC's) that fought and died in Gallipoli, Turkey during World War I.The 'celebration' is slowly becoming a generic, day of remembrance of all who have served and died during war.
It is also well accepted knowledge, that the British forces, under the leadership of Chruchill, betrayed the positions of Australian Diggers during the War.
This was done in order for the Australian soldiers to become Canon Fodder, so that 'mother' England can encroach without much resistance or rather, the own casualties.
True history is not taught in schools or even sought by the 'mass' media.
In reality ANZAC Day serves as a grim reminder, that the Australian soldiers were betrayed and led like lambs to the slaughter.
Who said you can trust your mother.

Australian Govt Refugee Allowances vs Aust Pensioners
It is interesting that the Federal Government provides a SingleRefugee with a monthly allowance of $1,890.00
and each can also get an additional $580. 00 in Social Assistance, so a total of $2,470.00 per month.
Family of 4 can receive $9,880.00 per month or yearly $118,685.
A single Australian pensioner who, after contributing to the growth and development of Australia for 40 to 50 years, receives only a monthly maximum of $1,012.00 in old age pension and Guaranteed Income Supplement. (Maybe our pensioners should apply as refugees!)
*Let's send this to all Australians so we can all be ticked off and maybe we can get the refugees cut back to $1,012.00 and the pensioners up to $2,470.00 and enjoy some of the money we are forced to submit to the Government in taxes.
*Please !! forward to every Australian to expose what our elected politicians are doing to the over-taxed Australian, and the people who have grown this country in the last 50 years!
