WEBVTT - When is a Jewish ‘joke’ not racist?

0:00:03.920 --> 0:00:06.760
<v Speaker 1>From The Australian. Here's what's on the front. I'm Claire Harvey.

0:00:06.800 --> 0:00:13.120
<v Speaker 1>It's Thursday July twenty four, twenty twenty five. Some members

0:00:13.160 --> 0:00:15.880
<v Speaker 1>of the Coalition want new leader Susan Lee to dump

0:00:15.960 --> 0:00:19.840
<v Speaker 1>the party's twenty fifty emissions reduction target, and NAT's leader

0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:22.880
<v Speaker 1>David little Proud has indicated they could be on board.

0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Mining magnate Andrew Twiggy Forest has mounted a spirited defense

0:00:32.000 --> 0:00:36.040
<v Speaker 1>of China and called for stronger ties between our two nations.

0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:40.479
<v Speaker 1>He also wants the government to turbocharge investment in green energy.

0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:44.320
<v Speaker 1>Those exclusives and all the action from a fiery day

0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:47.680
<v Speaker 1>one of Federal Parliament alive right now at the Australian

0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:54.240
<v Speaker 1>dot com dot a U. When is a joke about

0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:59.360
<v Speaker 1>Jews not racist? A symposium at Queensland University of Technology

0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:05.960
<v Speaker 1>that's accusations of antisemitism, furious denials and apologies has resulted

0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:10.520
<v Speaker 1>in a formal review that's told QUT to better oversee

0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:15.280
<v Speaker 1>its staff, but defended the allegedly offensive material as not

0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:20.000
<v Speaker 1>anti semitic. Today, what's okay to say on campus?

0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:29.840
<v Speaker 2>I presented with Duddam's Jews.

0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:36.280
<v Speaker 1>Back in January, the Queensland University of Technology's Corumba Institute

0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:40.440
<v Speaker 1>for Indigenous Studies hosted an event called the National Symposium

0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:45.320
<v Speaker 1>on Unifying Anti Racist Research and Action. It kicked off

0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:49.560
<v Speaker 1>a big political stink. Some Jewish leaders objected to what

0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:53.320
<v Speaker 1>they said was anti semitic material air at the symposium,

0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:58.040
<v Speaker 1>and Federal Education Minister Jason Clair called Vice Chancellor of QUT,

0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:03.080
<v Speaker 1>Margaret Shield to express his concerns. Shil said she understood

0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:07.240
<v Speaker 1>serious offense had been taken and apologized. QUT said it

0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:10.560
<v Speaker 1>would remind it staff of their obligations to prevent racism

0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:15.080
<v Speaker 1>or antisemitism on campus. QT appointed a former judge, John

0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Middleton to review what happened, and here's what he's found.

0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:22.840
<v Speaker 3>Neither the content presented nor the conduct of participants were

0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:25.240
<v Speaker 3>any semitic when taken in the context of the event.

0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:30.840
<v Speaker 1>That's a voice actor reading Middleton's words. He also found this.

0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:33.880
<v Speaker 3>Some of the content was capable of causing offense, and

0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:36.440
<v Speaker 3>more careful consideration should have been given to the timing

0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:39.519
<v Speaker 3>and potential risks in light of the broader social context.

0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Exactly what was said and whether it was offensive is

0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:47.480
<v Speaker 1>a matter of contention, and this controversy tells us something

0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:51.600
<v Speaker 1>about perceptions of racism and antisemitism, and about free speech

0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:56.480
<v Speaker 1>on campus. So let's hear what actually happened. The night

0:02:56.520 --> 0:03:02.440
<v Speaker 1>before the symposium, QUT staged a greatest debate featuring speakers

0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:04.240
<v Speaker 1>including Sarah Schwartz.

0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:09.480
<v Speaker 4>Sarah has been moonlighting as a Jewish human rights lawyer

0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:11.760
<v Speaker 4>and writer supporting Palestinian.

0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:14.880
<v Speaker 2>Freedom and justice. Last year she made.

0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:21.280
<v Speaker 4>Up a whole organization filled with bad Jews. I'm actually

0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:26.600
<v Speaker 4>here today to suggest that it really should have been

0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:29.760
<v Speaker 4>any of us on the stage today, but it should

0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:36.840
<v Speaker 4>be Peter Dunnan scomo Christian Zionists, Israel's professional genocide launderers.

0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:40.440
<v Speaker 2>You guys are the real anti racist hero.

0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:47.680
<v Speaker 1>Her main target was Peter Dutton, then the opposition leader.

0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:51.840
<v Speaker 5>Now might've been tempting, amongst this fad of hate crimes

0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:53.400
<v Speaker 5>to think that Dunham's found.

0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:57.080
<v Speaker 2>A heart, but the reality is that for Dunden and

0:03:57.240 --> 0:03:58.280
<v Speaker 2>his ilk.

0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:05.960
<v Speaker 4>Us, Jews are the perfect adveratars for pedaling racism, islamophobia, anti.

0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:08.800
<v Speaker 2>Immigrant sentiment, or, as historian Max.

0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:12.080
<v Speaker 4>Kaiser says, we've become the super Western canaries in the

0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:16.560
<v Speaker 4>coal mine for civilizational decline.

0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:20.039
<v Speaker 1>Schwartz drew the audience's attention to an image projected on

0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:23.960
<v Speaker 1>stage that showed a superhero type figure in a cape.

0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:30.120
<v Speaker 2>I presented him with Dudden's jew. Dunning's jew.

0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:36.920
<v Speaker 5>Just really, really healthily provided a human shield for him

0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:37.760
<v Speaker 5>to talk about.

0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:41.800
<v Speaker 4>Some of his favorite topics, Hating on migrants by arguing

0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:43.600
<v Speaker 4>the Palestinian refugees.

0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:48.280
<v Speaker 5>Or a threat to Jews just generally, hating on Muslims, protecting.

0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:49.360
<v Speaker 2>Every day Aussies from left.

0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:52.880
<v Speaker 5>Wing anti war protestings, and of course bolstering support for

0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:55.120
<v Speaker 5>Israel as that commits a genocide.

0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:58.320
<v Speaker 2>His parting no longer needs to defend the right to

0:04:58.360 --> 0:04:59.440
<v Speaker 2>be biggots because.

0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:04.360
<v Speaker 1>Dunnan's Duke this for the poster listed dot points including

0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:09.840
<v Speaker 1>hates the radical left, scared of protesters, hates Palestinians, Arabs

0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:13.600
<v Speaker 1>and Muslims, thinks of anti Semitism as the only form

0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:17.440
<v Speaker 1>of racism. And this is where The Australian's Education editor

0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:19.120
<v Speaker 1>Natasha Beta comes in.

0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:22.880
<v Speaker 6>I became aware of it when someone from the Jewish

0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:27.920
<v Speaker 6>community sent me a picture of Dutton's jew, and then

0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:33.680
<v Speaker 6>I received another picture of another slide show of you know,

0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:36.640
<v Speaker 6>punch a racist in the throat, and I thought, what

0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:39.279
<v Speaker 6>on earth is this? So I looked it up and

0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:42.600
<v Speaker 6>realized that there was an anti racism symposium being held,

0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:44.279
<v Speaker 6>and I thought, oh, I might go along to that.

0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:47.320
<v Speaker 6>It could be quite interesting, regardless of what had happened

0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:50.160
<v Speaker 6>at that event. I tried to buy a ticket. There

0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:53.640
<v Speaker 6>were no tickets, so I turned up with my media pass,

0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:58.960
<v Speaker 6>which is standard practice for media at university academic symposiums.

0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:03.800
<v Speaker 6>They're normally thrilled to have mainstream media publicity for their events.

0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:07.680
<v Speaker 6>But I was told to leave, so I then stood outside.

0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:10.080
<v Speaker 6>They had security guards there, so I stood outside for

0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:14.800
<v Speaker 6>some hours. Realized later on that the organizer had described

0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:18.880
<v Speaker 6>me and a Kuriamar reporter as those assholes out there

0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:21.880
<v Speaker 6>and sort of making out that we were some sort

0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:24.880
<v Speaker 6>of threat. I've actually got better things to do than

0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:27.159
<v Speaker 6>hang around for a house at a time. But I

0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:29.560
<v Speaker 6>was really keen to actually speak to some of these

0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:33.440
<v Speaker 6>presenters and ask you what on earth they were doing

0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:33.800
<v Speaker 6>this for.

0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:41.479
<v Speaker 1>Here's what John Middleton said in his review about the

0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:43.280
<v Speaker 1>Dutton's jew material.

0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:47.159
<v Speaker 3>Miss Schwartz intended to critique what she perceives as the

0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:52.200
<v Speaker 3>political weaponization of Jewish identity and anti Semitism by certain

0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:56.520
<v Speaker 3>political leaders. She was not critical of Jewish people themselves.

0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:59.839
<v Speaker 1>That wasn't the perception of some other Jewish leaders, though.

0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:03.840
<v Speaker 1>Daniel Agion, the President of the Executive Council of Australian Jury,

0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:08.159
<v Speaker 1>said the Dutton's jew poster was clearly intended to stigmatize

0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:12.440
<v Speaker 1>as evil and racist any Jewish person who might support

0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:17.800
<v Speaker 1>the coalition. He called it an obvious and disgraceful racist trope.

0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:21.640
<v Speaker 1>Sarah Schwartz is the founder of something called the Jewish

0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:25.280
<v Speaker 1>Council of Australia, a group that's found itself seriously at

0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:29.880
<v Speaker 1>odds with other Jewish organizations, including the Executive Council of

0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:33.640
<v Speaker 1>Australian Jury. Here's what Sarah Schwartz said about the Jewish

0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:36.440
<v Speaker 1>Council on the ABC when it was founded in twenty

0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:37.040
<v Speaker 1>twenty four.

0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:41.840
<v Speaker 5>We formed because in Australia, many of our Jewish representative

0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:46.680
<v Speaker 5>bodies really failed to recognize that Jews have diverse views

0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:51.120
<v Speaker 5>on Israel's military actions and engage in this conflation of

0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:55.640
<v Speaker 5>legitimate criticism of Israel with anti Semitism, and that not

0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:59.480
<v Speaker 5>only stifles the voices of Palestinians and their supporters, but

0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:02.400
<v Speaker 5>it really so harms the fight against anti Semitism.

0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:07.400
<v Speaker 1>Lorna Munroe, a poet and activist, was another speaker at

0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:11.440
<v Speaker 1>the QT event. The report says Munroe told the crowd,

0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:14.920
<v Speaker 1>people say we should call out racism when we witness it.

0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:17.960
<v Speaker 1>I say, punch that in the face. We can all

0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:20.560
<v Speaker 1>throw them, and if you can't or prefer not to participate,

0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:22.960
<v Speaker 1>we can assign someone to punch that in the face

0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:28.400
<v Speaker 1>for you satisfaction guaranteed. Here's Lorna Munroe on stage at

0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:31.440
<v Speaker 1>a later event, reflecting on what she says was an

0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:35.040
<v Speaker 1>unfair misinterpretation of her satiric set.

0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:49.160
<v Speaker 7>The solution to racism is quite simple, my lawyer advised

0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:49.640
<v Speaker 7>me to say.

0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Allegedly, Munroe described a childhood experience that shaped her view

0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:01.640
<v Speaker 1>a shocking racist slur from a boy on the school bus.

0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:06.920
<v Speaker 1>This set is on Lorda Monroe's Instagram feed, I which.

0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:08.680
<v Speaker 7>Passed all the people to go back to him and

0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:12.520
<v Speaker 7>his friends did not say a word and pushing square

0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:13.120
<v Speaker 7>in the face.

0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:16.920
<v Speaker 2>My mum thought it was the funniest thing ever.

0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:19.560
<v Speaker 7>When she got called to the school because I got

0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:21.760
<v Speaker 7>in trouble for fighting employees at an old girls' school.

0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:28.599
<v Speaker 7>It's safe to say that he never ever said.

0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:30.000
<v Speaker 2>A single word to me ever again.

0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:35.560
<v Speaker 7>Who and I've never been subjected to racial flurs ever.

0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Since face to face anyway.

0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:40.280
<v Speaker 1>Here's what Middleton said in his report.

0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:44.959
<v Speaker 3>Miss Munroe's presentation, while provocative in town, was clearly satirical

0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:48.280
<v Speaker 3>in nature and delivered within the context of a comedy event.

0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:51.360
<v Speaker 3>She did not intend to promote physical aggression, but rather

0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:54.960
<v Speaker 3>engage with cultural discourse through satire and exaggeration.

0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:58.920
<v Speaker 1>Middleton's reports said Schwartz and Monroe.

0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:01.680
<v Speaker 3>Were not any Semitican name, nor were they offensive to

0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:03.560
<v Speaker 3>those actually present at the debate.

0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:08.400
<v Speaker 1>While Natasha was hanging around outside the event, an associate

0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:12.960
<v Speaker 1>professor from the University of Queensland who was present, Johnni Nazarafi,

0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:16.040
<v Speaker 1>said he felt unsafe at the closing session of the

0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:20.480
<v Speaker 1>conference when a QUT staffer said someone who leaked the

0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:24.360
<v Speaker 1>Dutton's jew slide to the Australian should be ashamed. That

0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:29.359
<v Speaker 1>prompted chance of shame shame from the crowd. He's Nazarafi

0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:31.520
<v Speaker 1>talking to Natasha Beta at the time.

0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:33.679
<v Speaker 6>You look very upset.

0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:34.880
<v Speaker 1>How did you feel.

0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:41.360
<v Speaker 8>Throughout this conference? I heard stories of people that were

0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:48.400
<v Speaker 8>the only dark skinned child in the room in their childhood, etc.

0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:53.160
<v Speaker 8>And here I was only Zionist in the room and

0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:57.440
<v Speaker 8>vinification of Zionists is racism. So I felt that this

0:10:57.600 --> 0:11:02.000
<v Speaker 8>was a racial attack on me, because this is not

0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:03.000
<v Speaker 8>what Australia needs to know.

0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:09.200
<v Speaker 6>Yone was incredibly shaken, he was genuinely fearful, and this

0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:14.520
<v Speaker 6>independent review has found that the organizer of the conference did,

0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:17.720
<v Speaker 6>in fact, you know, have a go at him and

0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:20.160
<v Speaker 6>then there was a chance that went up shame, shame,

0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:24.360
<v Speaker 6>and somebody yelled out punched him in the throat. Now

0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:29.439
<v Speaker 6>I cannot see how let alone an academic this is

0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:32.960
<v Speaker 6>meant to be an academic symposium, but in any workplace

0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:36.319
<v Speaker 6>is that an acceptable way to talk about things. If

0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:39.839
<v Speaker 6>they had issues about somebody handing material to the media,

0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:41.959
<v Speaker 6>it could have been done in a very different way

0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:46.520
<v Speaker 6>to that. I have never covered any academic conference like

0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:52.120
<v Speaker 6>it coming up.

0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:55.040
<v Speaker 1>How this all fits into the picture of protest and

0:11:55.120 --> 0:12:12.280
<v Speaker 1>debate on campus NATAGA. This happened in the context of

0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:16.040
<v Speaker 1>big protests on campuses in Australia and around the world

0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:19.640
<v Speaker 1>about the Middle East, chance of from the river to

0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:22.400
<v Speaker 1>the sea and Palestine will be free. It was a

0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:27.320
<v Speaker 1>time of very high emotion, particularly for the Jewish community.

0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:30.240
<v Speaker 1>How do you reflect now on all of that and

0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:34.240
<v Speaker 1>how university has handled it, including this kind of event

0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:34.760
<v Speaker 1>at QUT.

0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:37.599
<v Speaker 6>Well, if I were a vice chancellor, I would be

0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:41.000
<v Speaker 6>doing everything in my power to try to get people

0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:46.560
<v Speaker 6>to understand each other, to have proper debates, to perhaps

0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:48.640
<v Speaker 6>look at the history of the Middle East so they

0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:51.880
<v Speaker 6>can understand things in an historical context. But you don't

0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:53.960
<v Speaker 6>sort of set people up to just scream at each

0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:58.200
<v Speaker 6>other and abuse each other and intimidate each other. And

0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:01.640
<v Speaker 6>from what my observations, it was the Jewish students who

0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:03.920
<v Speaker 6>were the ones being intimidated. And that's from my direct

0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:10.120
<v Speaker 6>observation going onto the university grounds, not at QT but

0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:12.760
<v Speaker 6>at another university I went to, and what I observed

0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:14.760
<v Speaker 6>happening in Melbourne as well.

0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:19.760
<v Speaker 1>Directly after the event. And you're reporting QUT apologized for

0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:23.199
<v Speaker 1>having caused defense. Now they're saying they're going to implement

0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:26.520
<v Speaker 1>the recommendations of this report. What practical difference do you

0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:27.319
<v Speaker 1>think that's going to make.

0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:30.600
<v Speaker 6>Well, they are saying that they have strengthened oversight of

0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:34.560
<v Speaker 6>the Corumba Institute by requiring them to report to the

0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:38.000
<v Speaker 6>chief academic Officer. I'm not sure why that wasn't happening

0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:40.400
<v Speaker 6>in the first place. I think that, you know, all

0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:44.079
<v Speaker 6>institutes within a university surely should be equal and have

0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:48.120
<v Speaker 6>reporting lines to the head honchos. They say may have

0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:53.160
<v Speaker 6>adopted the university's Australia Working Definition on combating Anti Semitism,

0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:57.920
<v Speaker 6>but that was done anyway, regardless of this investigation. And

0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:01.040
<v Speaker 6>they are saying that the rest of the recommendations relate

0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:06.000
<v Speaker 6>to policy, process, staff training and event governance, so any

0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:09.600
<v Speaker 6>matters relating to individual staff conduct have been addressed internally

0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:13.760
<v Speaker 6>and with appropriate confidentiality. So it's basically there's nothing to

0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:16.240
<v Speaker 6>look at here. Would you all go away? It's all okay.

0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:22.160
<v Speaker 6>I don't think that's okay. I'm just reading it. I'm

0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:25.160
<v Speaker 6>even reading more detail of what was said thanks to

0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:28.440
<v Speaker 6>the transcripts in this report, and I am flabbagusted that

0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:31.440
<v Speaker 6>this has been happening, not that even that it's allowed

0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:34.720
<v Speaker 6>to happen, but that any academics would think that this

0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:40.240
<v Speaker 6>is how you run a symposium that is advertised as

0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:46.000
<v Speaker 6>fighting racism. It's actually stoking racism from what I observed

0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:50.200
<v Speaker 6>in the behavior of some of the delegates. And I

0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:53.800
<v Speaker 6>also feel that other delegates were very disappointed by what

0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:57.200
<v Speaker 6>went on because they genuinely wanted to go and help

0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:00.560
<v Speaker 6>the people they were representing, so I said, it was

0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:02.280
<v Speaker 6>just hijacked by all this other stuff.
