1
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: From the Australian. Here's what's on the front. I'm Claire Harvey.

2
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: It's Friday, April four, twenty twenty five. Anthony Albinizi is

3
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: planning to stockpile Australia's precious critical minerals deposits as a

4
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: negotiating chip. That's after US President Donald Trump announced ten

5
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: percent tariffs on all Australian products. It's part of his

6
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: so called Liberation Day war on foreign made goods that

7
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:37,160
Speaker 1: has sent markets into a panic. The Museum of Contemporary

8
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: Art has deleted its own websites praise for controversial artist

9
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: Colored Subsabi. Subsabi was chosen and then dumped as Australia's

10
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: representative at the Venice Bienali after The Australian revealed previous

11
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: artworks depicting the nine to eleven attacks and late Hesbala

12
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: leader Hassan Nazrala. The MCA has now removed its own

13
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 1: reference to Subsabi's Nazraella portrait as suggestive of a divine illumination.

14
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: You can read that exclusive right now at The Australian

15
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 1: dot com dot au. Virginia Roberts Giuffrey became globally famous

16
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: as the woman accusing Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein of

17
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: collaborating in abusing her when she was a teenager. She's

18
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: been living a quiet family life in Perth until this

19
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: week she became the central character in a real life

20
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: medical mystery today, What's going on with Virginia Gufrey. Virginia

21
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: Giffrey was sixteen and working in the spa at Donald

22
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: Trump's Mara Lago Club in Florida when she crossed paths

23
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: with Gilaine Maxwell.

24
00:01:55,800 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 2: She was like this really bright Mary Poppins kind of

25
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 2: a figure, and she goes, Oh, you know what, I

26
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 2: know this guy, there's an opportunity. Actually, if you want

27
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 2: to become a real massage therapist, we can get she trained.

28
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: Her name was Virginia Roberts then, and that guy was

29
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein, vices from the TV mini series

30
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: Surviving Jeffrey Epstein.

31
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 2: Within the next few weeks, Jeffrey Gilande told me that

32
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 2: I need to quit my job with mar al Iago

33
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 2: because I'll be traveling with them as they're traveling massuse.

34
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: Virginia Giffrey alleges she was sexually assaulted by both Epstein

35
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: and Galline Maxwell on that first meeting, subsequently trafficked and

36
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: abused for years.

37
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 2: It was abused straight away from both of them. I

38
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 2: got paid two hundred dollars and the butler drove me home.

39
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: Epstein was found dead in a New York prison cell

40
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, where he was waiting to stand trial

41
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: on sex trafficking charges.

42
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 3: The medical examiner has ruled his death a suicide. Attorney

43
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 3: General William Barr ordered an investigation into his death after

44
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 3: officials uncovered irregularities at the prison.

45
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: Giffrey claims she was assaulted by the Duke of York,

46
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: Prince Andrew, who counted Epstein and Maxwell among his close

47
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: personal friends. Andrew's always denied the allegations against him, but

48
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: settled with Giffrey out of court for an undisclosed PSALM

49
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two. Here's Geffrey in an interview with

50
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: the BBC's Panorama program.

51
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 2: I'm calling BS on this because that's what it is.

52
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 2: He knows what happened. I know what happened, and there's

53
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 2: only one of us telling the truth, and I know

54
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: that's me.

55
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: In the years since, Giffrey has become an advocate for

56
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: survivors of sexual abuse and trafficking.

57
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 2: I implore the people in the UK to stand up

58
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 2: beside me, to help me fight this fate. To not

59
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 2: accept this as being okay. This is not some sordid

60
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 2: sex story. This is a story of being trafficked.

61
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: She's also made a life for herself far away from

62
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: it all in Perth, Western Australia. She married Australian martial

63
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: arts instructor Robert Giuffrey in two thousand and two and

64
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: they have three children.

65
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 4: Virginia's kept a really low profile in Perth. Actually she

66
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 4: doesn't give interviews. She had been living quietly in the

67
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 4: northern suburbs of Perth with her husband and children.

68
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: This is The Australian's West Australia Bureau Chief Page Taylor.

69
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 4: We knew that she had bought a lovely house in

70
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 4: a beachside suburb, but it wasn't like there was news

71
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 4: about her in the media daily or she didn't go

72
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 4: seeking it either. I think a lot of people were

73
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 4: quite delighted that she had found some kind of peace

74
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 4: and then you stop.

75
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 1: In the early hours of Tuesday, this post appeared on

76
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: Virginia Juphry's Instagram fade. We've used an AI voice to

77
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 1: raid Virginia Jupry's post.

78
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 5: This year has been the worst start to a new year.

79
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 5: But I won't bore anyone with the details, but I

80
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 5: think it's important to note that when a school bus

81
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 5: driver comes at you driving one hundred ten kilometers as

82
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 5: we were slowing for a turn, that no matter what

83
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 5: your car is made of, it might as well be

84
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 5: a tin can. I've gone into kidney renal failure. They've

85
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 5: given me four days to live, transferring me to a

86
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 5: specialist hospital in urology. I'm ready to go, just not

87
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 5: until I see my babies one last time. But you

88
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,919
Speaker 5: know what they say about wishes, shit in one hand

89
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 5: and wish in the other, and I guarantee it's still

90
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 5: going to be shit at the end of the day.

91
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 5: Thank you all for being the wonderful people of the

92
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,119
Speaker 5: world and for being a great part of my life.

93
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 5: God bless you all. Virginia.

94
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 4: While I was up late finishing a story, was about

95
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 4: two am on Tuesday, Perth time, and I thought, I'm

96
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 4: just going to do a bit of scrolling now before

97
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 4: I go to sleep, and I saw this really confronting

98
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 4: image of Virginia in what looked to be a hospital bed.

99
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 4: She had declared she only had days to live. It

100
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 4: was such a shock.

101
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: In the picture, Giffrey looks very unwell. She's lying on

102
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: something that looks like a hospital bed with medical equipment

103
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 1: in the background. She has brown marks on one side

104
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 1: of her face that looked like they could be bruising.

105
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 4: This is not a terribly big city, Perth, and if

106
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 4: a school bus had cleaned up a car, the TV

107
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 4: crews would be there, it'd be all over social media,

108
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 4: the parents would have been contacted, the school would have

109
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 4: had to make a statement. There was none of that,

110
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 4: which was a bit unusual. And then I thought, oh,

111
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 4: I'll read that again. Maybe she's saying one thing happened

112
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,919
Speaker 4: after the other. Maybe she's not saying they're connected. I

113
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 4: couldn't quite understand what was going on there. But then

114
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 4: I also did think, perhaps this is also a person

115
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 4: who's very sick and possibly a bit dazed and confused

116
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 4: in that process, and she might not be even understanding

117
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 4: what's happening to her.

118
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: Journalists, including page from around the world, started asking questions,

119
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: when had this road accident happened, where, Why hadn't it

120
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: made The news page found out that yes, Virginia. Giffrey

121
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: had been in an ambulance which picked her up from

122
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: a tiny town north of Perth. It arrived at Sir

123
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: Charles Gardener Hospital at about two thirty am on Tuesday,

124
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: April one.

125
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 4: That's a really big tertiary hospital in Perth. It does

126
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 4: everything except major trauma and complex burns. You can't have

127
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 4: a baby at Sir Charles gar A Hospital, but they

128
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 4: do everything else. They do organ transplants and they deal

129
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 4: with surgeries of all kinds. I have confirmed that she

130
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 4: arrived about two thirty am on the Tuesday, which suggests

131
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 4: to me that perhaps that photograph was taken in the

132
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 4: back of the ambulance. She had been in the rural

133
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 4: area of near Gabby, which is a tiny hamlet, doesn't

134
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 4: have a town square or a shops or anything, and

135
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 4: the ambulance service got a tripoo call round midnight. Some

136
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 4: volunteers came from the beachside suburb of Two Rocks and

137
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 4: they took her to the Two Rocks depot. That's not

138
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 4: even a nursing post or a medical center, it's literally

139
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 4: where they keep the ambulance. And then a professional crew

140
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 4: from the city came and picked her up and in

141
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 4: normal road conditions. They drove her to Sir Charles Garden Hospital,

142
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 4: about seventy kilometers south. They didn't use the sirens, which

143
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 4: suggests it's not an emergency but serious enough to warrant

144
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 4: an ambulance transfer.

145
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 1: So the ambulance right happened on Tuesday this week, that's

146
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: April one. But the authorities in Wa have told Page

147
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: the incident between the school bus and the car that

148
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: happened last week on the twenty fourth of March.

149
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 4: It was relatively minor, and it did happen in near

150
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 4: Gabby Up, near where Virginia was picked up in the

151
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 4: ambulance six days later. But it was so minor that

152
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 4: the police said there was only two thousand dollars worth

153
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 4: of damage to the car and no major injuries. We

154
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 4: know the ambulance did not attend that incident either.

155
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: In a statement, Virginia Deuphray's agent said she'd been injured

156
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: in the crash, but it had returned home and it

157
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: wasn't until her condition worsened after several days that she

158
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: called the ambulance and then it emerged. Virginia Euphras facing

159
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: a criminal charge in the Wa courts on March fourteen,

160
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: Ten days before the road accident, she'd appeared at the

161
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: magistrates Court in joodle Up, in Perth's northern suburbs. She

162
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: was charged with breaching a family violence restraining order. She

163
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 1: hasn't had to enter a plea and the matters listed

164
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: for court on April nine. Also facing charges is her husband,

165
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: Robert Giffrey. In February, he was charged with an inadequate

166
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: storage facility for firearms. He's also been in trouble for

167
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: a driving offense. He was fined twelve hundred dollars and

168
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: lost his license for six months for reckless driving exceeding

169
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: the speed limit by forty five kilometers an hour or more.

170
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: Back in September. On the twenty second of March, she

171
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: posted some photos of her children and some words that

172
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: suggested that there was something going on in the family.

173
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: She said her heart was shattered and that every day

174
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: that passes her sadness only deepened. Did that attract attention

175
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: at the time or did that kind of go a

176
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: bit unnoticed until she made the post about being in hospital.

177
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 4: I never saw that post, and I never saw any

178
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 4: media about it either. I sort of wondered if that

179
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 4: when under the radar because she had not been in

180
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,719
Speaker 4: the media for such a long time, maybe people had

181
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 4: taken their eyes off her. When I did see it,

182
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 4: it struck me as so tragic, just horrible.

183
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: And then another twist. We've used a voice actor to

184
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: read a statement released by Virginia Geffray's agent overnight on

185
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: Wednesday this week. There are some sensitive personal issues mentioned

186
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: in the statement, so we've redacted some of it.

187
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 6: On January ninth, twenty twenty five, and Virginia was hospitalized

188
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 6: for her serious injuries and he was granted a restraining order.

189
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 6: Virginia looks forward to defending herself. She is deeply concerned

190
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 6: about her children. Virginia continues to be hospitalized in serious condition.

191
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 4: We heard that she'd been in a hospital as early

192
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 4: as January. The fact that she'd been in hospital multiple

193
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 4: times this year was a surprise and a big cause

194
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 4: for concern. She has been charged with one count of

195
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 4: breaching what is known as a family violence restraining order.

196
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 4: What I know about those orders is that there are

197
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 4: ways of breaching them that are minor, and there are

198
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 4: ways of breaching them that are major. So a person

199
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 4: can breach a family violence restraining order by sending a

200
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 4: text or an email. And there have been cases in

201
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 4: the past, the recent past where a man has been

202
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 4: fined a small fine for breaching one of these orders

203
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 4: by sending an email that asked to see his children.

204
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 4: But people have also been jailed because they breach the

205
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 4: order with an act of violence. So we actually don't

206
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 4: know what's gone on here, and it could be any

207
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 4: of those things that the police are alleging.

208
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 1: Coming up. What are the ethics of covering a complex

209
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: story where the subject seems to be in such distress.

210
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: This is such a delicate thing to cover, isn't it.

211
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: Page This woman has made allegations of really horrendous abuse

212
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: against three people, Jeffrey Epstein, Gilaine Maxwell, and Prince Andrew.

213
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: She's accepted a settlement, a payout in some form of

214
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: acknowledgment of her abuse. She's been trying to live a

215
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: private life in wa and it sounds like the media

216
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: has really left her alone. How do you navigate the

217
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 1: delicacy of stepping your way through covering this story.

218
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 4: She's an important thing to a lot of people because

219
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 4: she's been a hero actually campaigning for victims of sexual abuse,

220
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 4: and so I think there's a lot of care and

221
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 4: concern for her. But you're right, it's so difficult to

222
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 4: tell this story when this is a person whose life

223
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 4: is obviously in a lot of turmoil. I get a

224
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 4: sense she's a person who's lived through a lot of pain.

225
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 4: I think that she was genuinely trying to have a

226
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 4: quiet and good life. And if you're going to live

227
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 4: in Australia, in a capital city, Perth's probably the place

228
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 4: to do it. She's going to appear in court now

229
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 4: as a result of this family violence restraining order charge,

230
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 4: and that, of course, is going to attract a lot

231
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 4: of media attention. That's going to be hard to watch.

232
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 4: It's going to be difficult for her, and it's going

233
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 4: to be quite the spectacle.

234
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: I think Virginia giuphrase Agent's initial response to this page

235
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: was to say in a statement that her intention had

236
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: been to post it in a more private way, perhaps

237
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: on a face book closed group, rather than publicly on Instagram.

238
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: What should we draw from that, given that the statement

239
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: is still there on Instagram.

240
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 4: I've been wondering if it hasn't been removed because Virginia

241
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 4: is so unwell. As far as we know, she's still

242
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 4: an impatient she may be under the influence of pretty

243
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 4: strong painkillers. She might not even be in a position

244
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 4: to communicate well with her spokesperson or pass on her passwords.

245
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 4: I don't know what to take from that. This is

246
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 4: a person who's obviously sick, or else she wouldn't have

247
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 4: been taken by ambulance to a hospital and she wouldn't

248
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 4: still be there. What her illness is we don't know.

249
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 4: But I know that public hospitals are not in the

250
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 4: habit of keeping people on the ward if they're well

251
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 4: enough to leave.
