1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: This is the Fitting and Whipper with Kate Richie podcast.

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: Let's talk about this stinker of a woman who picked

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:11,399
Speaker 1: up the wombat. You would have seen Tom, don't pull

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: a face. It's fine to hate this woman because you

5
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: did a really stupid thing. Okay, we don't hate anybody. No,

6
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: it hates a harsh word. I don't want to use

7
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: the word hate.

8
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 2: I take that back.

9
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 1: We were extremely disappointed by this tourist that thought it

10
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: was okay to pick up and remove a baby wombat

11
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: from its mother, and that's where the calls to kick

12
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: her out of the country came from. Not to mention

13
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: her sheep sheer of a boyfriend, Louis from Kouma, who

14
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: thought the whole thing was very funny.

15
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 2: She just caught a baby wombat. Look at the mother.

16
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, I chase it after.

17
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: It's funny that it's chasing after her because the mother's

18
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: screaming because you've just taken a baby.

19
00:00:59,280 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 2: You can hear it.

20
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: He's still in the country. Okay, mama's right there and

21
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:04,119
Speaker 1: she's pissed.

22
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 2: Let's let him go, all right?

23
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: Not cool? Not cool?

24
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 2: Is she still here?

25
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: Her name's Samantha. Here's the thing. I want to break

26
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: down fits I want you to know. The update is

27
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: she took to social media to talk about what happened

28
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: to apologize, but was one of those very thinly veiled

29
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: apologies where you double down really on what you did,

30
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: but you're actually saying you're actually making your apology because

31
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 1: you want to make another point. Have a listen.

32
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 3: I want to begin by taking responsibility for my actions.

33
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 3: What I did was an incredible mistake, and there hasn't

34
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 3: been a moment I haven't regretted it. However, there's something

35
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 3: much bigger at play here and it would be a

36
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 3: disservice to ignore it. If this situation has proven anything,

37
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 3: it's proven that Australians care deeply about their wildlife and

38
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 3: that's something I intensely admire. Every However, the Australian government

39
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 3: issues permits for the killing of thousands and thousands of

40
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 3: wombats across Australia, along with millions of kangaroos. I have

41
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 3: just shared never before seen photos of these exact calling

42
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 3: operations going on in Australia today on X with the

43
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 3: username at Australia Calls. The same government that is calling

44
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 3: for my head is the one that spends millions of

45
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 3: your tax dollars to mass slaughterer native Australian animals, as

46
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 3: well as the Snowy River and kusiastical brumbies, wild pigs

47
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 3: and numerous deer species.

48
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: Please don't start to understand.

49
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 2: Why do we call wombats. I don't think we have

50
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 2: a wombat problem.

51
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: It would depend on areas, whether it's farm. You know

52
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: what happens a lot, and I know they've got this

53
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: issue in the Southern Highlands. Is the wombats get mange? Yeah,

54
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 1: and that is a very very slow, painful death. They

55
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: go blind, their hair starts to fall out, and they

56
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: can no longer find food and starve to death.

57
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 2: So tell me you must have it as well.

58
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a sad thing, guys, but luckily still employing.

59
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 2: You, which is also you. Actually you leave little when

60
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 2: your feces and little cubes that you leave around the

61
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 2: office as well.

62
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 1: We always know where you've been. Tobbly. This woman Samantha, Yeah,

63
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: I mean maybe there needs to be some sort of

64
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: you want to invite her to your bush doorf No,

65
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 1: I don't. I'm just thinking maybe if we all got

66
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: a maybe singles party. No, she was told to run

67
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: with a blind fold on and we had paintball guns.

68
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 2: Oh I don't know.

69
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: I mean something a little bit fun but also traumatic

70
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: for her, just so she could understand what they want.

71
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 2: That's been.
