WEBVTT - Finally - Face to Face.

0:00:05.921 --> 0:00:07.281
<v Speaker 1>Approche production.

0:00:15.881 --> 0:00:18.241
<v Speaker 2>Well, this is pretty crazy face to face.

0:00:18.481 --> 0:00:22.401
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, wow, how's that I sat in this room?

0:00:22.721 --> 0:00:24.881
<v Speaker 2>Or in April of twenty twenty three?

0:00:25.121 --> 0:00:25.681
<v Speaker 1>That long ago?

0:00:25.721 --> 0:00:26.441
<v Speaker 2>That's how long ago?

0:00:26.481 --> 0:00:28.161
<v Speaker 3>It was thirty other episodes ago.

0:00:28.681 --> 0:00:30.961
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's a long it was only supposed to be eight.

0:00:31.481 --> 0:00:32.281
<v Speaker 1>That's incredible.

0:00:32.521 --> 0:00:34.281
<v Speaker 2>So here we are, You've got a coffee. We're in

0:00:34.281 --> 0:00:34.841
<v Speaker 2>the shed.

0:00:35.161 --> 0:00:39.001
<v Speaker 4>But the good news is is just behind the shed

0:00:39.721 --> 0:00:40.281
<v Speaker 4>is the building.

0:00:40.281 --> 0:00:41.080
<v Speaker 2>It's pretty excity.

0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:41.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:00:41.881 --> 0:00:44.281
<v Speaker 4>Last week you heard me sit down with Jackie Lamby

0:00:44.601 --> 0:00:48.481
<v Speaker 4>at the shed in Saint Helen's. While there, I got

0:00:48.521 --> 0:00:51.361
<v Speaker 4>the chance to sit down with Jason and Amanda the

0:00:51.361 --> 0:00:54.881
<v Speaker 4>first time face to face in almost two years. At

0:00:54.881 --> 0:00:57.161
<v Speaker 4>the table with us was also the person we've called

0:00:57.161 --> 0:01:00.961
<v Speaker 4>a torpedo throughout the series. She's been in an immense

0:01:01.001 --> 0:01:05.200
<v Speaker 4>help in progressing Eden's case. She doesn't want accolades, she

0:01:05.281 --> 0:01:08.401
<v Speaker 4>just wants to help. Like most people connected with Jason

0:01:08.441 --> 0:01:11.321
<v Speaker 4>and Amanda, it's not about praise. It's about finding an

0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:15.121
<v Speaker 4>answer to their daughter's death. You heard last week about

0:01:15.121 --> 0:01:18.241
<v Speaker 4>their excitement building the new house. Now we're sitting in

0:01:18.241 --> 0:01:21.681
<v Speaker 4>the shed where they raised all their kids, including Eden.

0:01:23.881 --> 0:01:26.200
<v Speaker 4>It is quite amazing when I sit in the shed.

0:01:26.721 --> 0:01:29.481
<v Speaker 4>To realize that you've raised all those children in this.

0:01:31.121 --> 0:01:33.321
<v Speaker 5>We've had a good friend that's visitors in the last

0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:36.121
<v Speaker 5>couple of days who commended Amanda and how we've done that.

0:01:37.881 --> 0:01:38.881
<v Speaker 1>But you've got to be mindful.

0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:42.161
<v Speaker 6>They were little and once they started to get bigger,

0:01:42.721 --> 0:01:45.121
<v Speaker 6>they started to leave and go to the defense.

0:01:45.161 --> 0:01:46.840
<v Speaker 1>So we're leaving at seventeen to go.

0:01:46.761 --> 0:01:47.521
<v Speaker 3>To the army.

0:01:47.961 --> 0:01:49.441
<v Speaker 5>And when you look at them on the wall, look

0:01:49.481 --> 0:01:53.001
<v Speaker 5>at Justine at seventeen, the baby a seventeen, their baby

0:01:53.041 --> 0:01:55.641
<v Speaker 5>face children off to the Australian Army.

0:01:56.041 --> 0:01:58.281
<v Speaker 3>Maybe that put them in good stead with.

0:01:58.321 --> 0:02:00.881
<v Speaker 5>The way we live to be able to do the

0:02:01.001 --> 0:02:04.041
<v Speaker 5>army because we know we live in this environment with

0:02:04.121 --> 0:02:07.281
<v Speaker 5>the portoloo with a outside shower and living in the shed,

0:02:07.361 --> 0:02:09.161
<v Speaker 5>so you know, camp and in a trench.

0:02:09.241 --> 0:02:11.481
<v Speaker 3>Wasn't that bad that Tim and Justine?

0:02:12.081 --> 0:02:15.800
<v Speaker 4>I really want the audience to know what you are

0:02:15.921 --> 0:02:18.921
<v Speaker 4>like as people, right and I've always said you assaulted

0:02:18.921 --> 0:02:22.361
<v Speaker 4>the earth people and I love you both for that.

0:02:22.761 --> 0:02:25.441
<v Speaker 4>But it was interesting this morning. We've had Jackie Lamby

0:02:25.481 --> 0:02:28.520
<v Speaker 4>here which you heard in the previous episode, and one

0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:31.281
<v Speaker 4>of her people who was with her needed to go

0:02:31.361 --> 0:02:34.481
<v Speaker 4>to the toilet and there was the Hey, by the way,

0:02:34.601 --> 0:02:35.520
<v Speaker 4>it's a long drop.

0:02:36.721 --> 0:02:37.881
<v Speaker 2>It's just a long drop.

0:02:39.201 --> 0:02:41.321
<v Speaker 3>Fidestar camp. This is five star camping.

0:02:41.641 --> 0:02:42.481
<v Speaker 2>It's probably going to be.

0:02:42.481 --> 0:02:42.961
<v Speaker 3>A bit different.

0:02:43.601 --> 0:02:45.240
<v Speaker 5>We actually put the throne in the other day of

0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:47.201
<v Speaker 5>the plumbing and the septic.

0:02:47.161 --> 0:02:49.961
<v Speaker 3>Now royal flush, the Royal flush, and it is going.

0:02:49.761 --> 0:02:51.721
<v Speaker 5>To be the royal flush because we've got the septic

0:02:51.761 --> 0:02:54.481
<v Speaker 5>into from the slab stage to the septic.

0:02:54.121 --> 0:02:56.280
<v Speaker 3>In the ground. And now because we're.

0:02:56.081 --> 0:02:58.520
<v Speaker 5>On rule and we need a septic system in, we're

0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:01.601
<v Speaker 5>going to go environmentally friendly and new REGs have come in. Okay,

0:03:02.081 --> 0:03:03.681
<v Speaker 5>those new riggs are going to cost us about twenty

0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:04.761
<v Speaker 5>five thousand dollars.

0:03:04.641 --> 0:03:06.921
<v Speaker 3>From where we're in the ground at the moment.

0:03:07.001 --> 0:03:10.840
<v Speaker 5>So that rule of lass a day plus.

0:03:10.761 --> 0:03:12.281
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, she'll be a royal flush, all right.

0:03:12.441 --> 0:03:14.081
<v Speaker 2>So it's going to be a day to celebrate.

0:03:15.601 --> 0:03:19.041
<v Speaker 6>But in saying that we have become who we are

0:03:19.441 --> 0:03:23.361
<v Speaker 6>because of our environment, and we look at history and

0:03:23.481 --> 0:03:26.041
<v Speaker 6>the way that people have lived in other parts of

0:03:26.081 --> 0:03:28.641
<v Speaker 6>the world and even in Australia at times, and we thought,

0:03:28.641 --> 0:03:29.840
<v Speaker 6>you know what, we can do this. We've got a

0:03:29.881 --> 0:03:32.600
<v Speaker 6>roof over our head, we've got running water, we have electricity,

0:03:33.041 --> 0:03:33.681
<v Speaker 6>what more.

0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:34.121
<v Speaker 1>Do you need?

0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:36.121
<v Speaker 2>And you've got a beautiful family and yeah.

0:03:36.001 --> 0:03:38.441
<v Speaker 1>And we have our own food growing all the time.

0:03:38.521 --> 0:03:42.081
<v Speaker 6>So and the family was so young that they didn't

0:03:42.161 --> 0:03:42.761
<v Speaker 6>question it.

0:03:42.801 --> 0:03:44.081
<v Speaker 1>They just said, this is great.

0:03:44.121 --> 0:03:47.201
<v Speaker 6>We get to run outside and have a big opening

0:03:47.321 --> 0:03:51.241
<v Speaker 6>for a door and go in and appreciating.

0:03:50.321 --> 0:03:52.561
<v Speaker 5>They all appreciate the way we brought them up. There's

0:03:52.601 --> 0:03:54.761
<v Speaker 5>not one of them that haven't appreciated it.

0:03:54.881 --> 0:03:57.681
<v Speaker 1>No, And it's not to say we don't like nice things.

0:03:57.841 --> 0:03:58.721
<v Speaker 3>I love nice sense.

0:03:58.841 --> 0:04:02.041
<v Speaker 6>It's just that when you dealt with something, it's how

0:04:02.161 --> 0:04:05.241
<v Speaker 6>you respond to it. And we just tried to make

0:04:05.321 --> 0:04:09.761
<v Speaker 6>it as comfortable as possible. And if it wasn't comfortable,

0:04:10.081 --> 0:04:13.761
<v Speaker 6>we just simply wouldn't be here. And that's the bottom line.

0:04:14.201 --> 0:04:16.681
<v Speaker 6>And I'm a woman and I want comforts.

0:04:17.281 --> 0:04:20.801
<v Speaker 4>We've heard over the last three episodes ten reasons why

0:04:21.241 --> 0:04:23.961
<v Speaker 4>Eden's case should be relooked at. We heard Jackie Lamby

0:04:24.041 --> 0:04:28.641
<v Speaker 4>last week in person sitting where we're sitting right now.

0:04:29.161 --> 0:04:32.721
<v Speaker 4>And then we heard her speech which was impassion in parliament.

0:04:33.561 --> 0:04:34.761
<v Speaker 1>That's the way Jackie does it.

0:04:34.961 --> 0:04:38.001
<v Speaker 4>This is a really tough time for you guys, because

0:04:38.521 --> 0:04:41.760
<v Speaker 4>it's ten years since Eden passed.

0:04:42.561 --> 0:04:44.161
<v Speaker 3>You say that, Jay, it is tough.

0:04:44.281 --> 0:04:47.281
<v Speaker 5>But as you know, I saw Jackie here being interviewed

0:04:47.281 --> 0:04:50.280
<v Speaker 5>by you, and to see that woman of such strong

0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:55.881
<v Speaker 5>character and personality in tears over Eden, that was incredibly emotional.

0:04:55.921 --> 0:04:59.520
<v Speaker 5>To see such a strong woman so hurt by what

0:04:59.880 --> 0:05:03.161
<v Speaker 5>the injustice Worth experienced. She feels it. And that's what

0:05:03.241 --> 0:05:05.681
<v Speaker 5>Jackie said to me. When she stands for someone, she

0:05:05.801 --> 0:05:08.841
<v Speaker 5>feels it. When she goes into her veterans family and

0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:11.841
<v Speaker 5>she's dealing with them, she feels the family. And that's

0:05:11.841 --> 0:05:14.041
<v Speaker 5>what I got to experience in what I saw of Jackie,

0:05:14.081 --> 0:05:17.161
<v Speaker 5>and it was powerful, Mate, it was really emotional, and

0:05:17.721 --> 0:05:19.321
<v Speaker 5>I'll remember that for the rest.

0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:22.320
<v Speaker 6>And it may not look like sometimes that we're hurting

0:05:22.601 --> 0:05:25.321
<v Speaker 6>or we're getting on with life or we're doing something fun,

0:05:25.561 --> 0:05:30.160
<v Speaker 6>because we're actually allowed to still find joy. But Jason

0:05:30.201 --> 0:05:33.761
<v Speaker 6>and I always hurt. We're always hurting. Whenever we're writing

0:05:33.761 --> 0:05:37.401
<v Speaker 6>a letter, we're always hurting. We put on a brave front,

0:05:38.281 --> 0:05:42.481
<v Speaker 6>but we're in pain every day. And we might be

0:05:42.521 --> 0:05:44.640
<v Speaker 6>in the garden or we might be out doing something

0:05:44.721 --> 0:05:47.721
<v Speaker 6>fun and it'll just strike you. It just comes over you,

0:05:47.921 --> 0:05:50.481
<v Speaker 6>and all of a sudden you're feeling quite emotional, and

0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:52.881
<v Speaker 6>you're in tears and you're thinking, oh my god, I've

0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:54.880
<v Speaker 6>got to get out of this conversation that I'm in

0:05:54.921 --> 0:05:58.161
<v Speaker 6>because the person's going to not know what's happening. But

0:05:58.201 --> 0:06:01.121
<v Speaker 6>it's just something that just comes over you, and it's

0:06:01.721 --> 0:06:05.400
<v Speaker 6>I think over the years, we've learned to have a

0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:08.561
<v Speaker 6>little sense of control of it, not a whole sense,

0:06:09.121 --> 0:06:11.841
<v Speaker 6>but a little sense of control of if we don't

0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.001
<v Speaker 6>let it come to the surface when it's coming to

0:06:14.001 --> 0:06:18.200
<v Speaker 6>the surface, it will spill out when we least need

0:06:18.241 --> 0:06:18.440
<v Speaker 6>it to.

0:06:19.721 --> 0:06:21.960
<v Speaker 1>So when I seen.

0:06:21.841 --> 0:06:24.441
<v Speaker 6>Jackie upset, I just had to hold her. I had

0:06:24.481 --> 0:06:26.321
<v Speaker 6>to let her know that this is what we feel

0:06:26.361 --> 0:06:28.761
<v Speaker 6>every day. We wake up in the morning and it's real.

0:06:29.161 --> 0:06:32.320
<v Speaker 6>It's gone. She's not with us anymore, and she's been murdered.

0:06:32.401 --> 0:06:37.200
<v Speaker 6>Somebody has actually done this to her. It's heinous knowing

0:06:37.961 --> 0:06:40.241
<v Speaker 6>what has happened to her, it's cruel.

0:06:40.641 --> 0:06:45.081
<v Speaker 4>You could tell that Jackie is a politician that's doing

0:06:45.121 --> 0:06:51.481
<v Speaker 4>this for notoriety or to enhance a campaign of any sort.

0:06:51.561 --> 0:06:52.361
<v Speaker 1>She's already great.

0:06:52.561 --> 0:06:54.880
<v Speaker 3>She's doing it because she cares.

0:06:55.521 --> 0:06:56.521
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, she's a real person.

0:06:56.761 --> 0:06:58.681
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, she's not.

0:06:58.761 --> 0:07:02.361
<v Speaker 6>Some phony that's standing in front of the people asking

0:07:02.361 --> 0:07:05.721
<v Speaker 6>the people to agree with the lies. They want me

0:07:05.801 --> 0:07:08.361
<v Speaker 6>to agree with a lie against my own child, and

0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:11.001
<v Speaker 6>I didn't even lie to her, only about Santa Claus.

0:07:11.241 --> 0:07:13.601
<v Speaker 4>I'm not sure if over the last few years I've

0:07:13.641 --> 0:07:18.561
<v Speaker 4>adequately conveyed what wonderful people Jason Amanda are. Not just

0:07:18.641 --> 0:07:22.401
<v Speaker 4>discreeving parents, but in general. I admire them for how

0:07:22.441 --> 0:07:25.241
<v Speaker 4>they talk about their kids, but you can also hear

0:07:25.321 --> 0:07:28.441
<v Speaker 4>it in the way the kids talk about them. Earlier

0:07:28.441 --> 0:07:31.241
<v Speaker 4>in the morning, before we started recording, I was setting

0:07:31.321 --> 0:07:34.281
<v Speaker 4>up their eldest daughter, Bobby Lee called to talk to

0:07:34.361 --> 0:07:39.121
<v Speaker 4>mom and dad. Bobby Lee's call this morning was really interesting,

0:07:39.561 --> 0:07:41.801
<v Speaker 4>and you put her on speakerphone, and what I found

0:07:41.881 --> 0:07:45.441
<v Speaker 4>really special was this, as a thirty two year old woman,

0:07:46.281 --> 0:07:49.281
<v Speaker 4>she's calling mum and dad to say, Hey, I got

0:07:49.281 --> 0:07:52.921
<v Speaker 4>this really great compliment at work today and I've forwarded

0:07:53.121 --> 0:07:53.721
<v Speaker 4>the email.

0:07:54.761 --> 0:07:56.361
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, how special is that?

0:07:56.641 --> 0:07:58.641
<v Speaker 5>It's nice that they want to share those moments with

0:07:58.681 --> 0:08:00.401
<v Speaker 5>their mum and dad, and we are part of those

0:08:00.441 --> 0:08:04.801
<v Speaker 5>moments because we feel that Bobby Lee's a really bubbly,

0:08:04.801 --> 0:08:07.921
<v Speaker 5>out going personality, as you know, and it was nice

0:08:08.001 --> 0:08:10.361
<v Speaker 5>to see that that's what she's getting from her workplace

0:08:10.401 --> 0:08:11.961
<v Speaker 5>and the customers, and she.

0:08:12.001 --> 0:08:13.241
<v Speaker 1>Calls us often.

0:08:14.281 --> 0:08:17.721
<v Speaker 6>Previously it's been spoken the compliments, so this one was

0:08:17.721 --> 0:08:20.401
<v Speaker 6>actually written to her boss, so that's why she was

0:08:20.441 --> 0:08:21.161
<v Speaker 6>able to say it.

0:08:21.121 --> 0:08:21.881
<v Speaker 1>Was written again.

0:08:22.121 --> 0:08:24.601
<v Speaker 6>But she's called us when anybody's ever been kind to her,

0:08:24.761 --> 0:08:27.201
<v Speaker 6>or people from Saint Helen's have even gone there, and

0:08:27.241 --> 0:08:29.521
<v Speaker 6>she calls us and tells us. And it's a good

0:08:29.521 --> 0:08:31.281
<v Speaker 6>will story because there is a lot of hurt in

0:08:31.321 --> 0:08:33.601
<v Speaker 6>our family and our children suffer.

0:08:34.041 --> 0:08:39.201
<v Speaker 5>Pobbly defines other parents on how often that children call them.

0:08:39.281 --> 0:08:41.761
<v Speaker 5>She says, I call you every day, Dad, Mum, And

0:08:41.801 --> 0:08:45.281
<v Speaker 5>that's why because of the parents you are. So we're

0:08:45.361 --> 0:08:47.561
<v Speaker 5>lucky because we're a close knit family.

0:08:48.041 --> 0:08:49.961
<v Speaker 6>And even some of the siblings say, oh, you do

0:08:50.041 --> 0:08:51.641
<v Speaker 6>too much for this one, and you do too much.

0:08:51.801 --> 0:08:53.281
<v Speaker 6>You don't have to do that for me, and you don't.

0:08:53.561 --> 0:08:57.281
<v Speaker 6>We say no, this is the parent that we choose

0:08:57.401 --> 0:09:00.241
<v Speaker 6>to be where there's soft place to land. We hope

0:09:01.201 --> 0:09:03.481
<v Speaker 6>like what you've given us a soft place to land.

0:09:03.761 --> 0:09:04.681
<v Speaker 2>It's really interesting.

0:09:04.801 --> 0:09:08.201
<v Speaker 4>So using that analogy around Bobby Lee calling Mum and

0:09:08.281 --> 0:09:11.161
<v Speaker 4>Dad to say I've got a really nice compliment, and

0:09:11.201 --> 0:09:13.681
<v Speaker 4>then Justine's milling around here, I met her for the

0:09:13.681 --> 0:09:17.201
<v Speaker 4>first time today, and a lovely girl. And we were

0:09:17.241 --> 0:09:19.081
<v Speaker 4>just sitting out there talking and she was telling me

0:09:19.161 --> 0:09:21.641
<v Speaker 4>the story of how dad's a great horse rider and

0:09:21.721 --> 0:09:25.041
<v Speaker 4>we're all going to go horse riding, and Dad's got

0:09:25.041 --> 0:09:26.841
<v Speaker 4>this photo of him with his shirt off and a

0:09:26.961 --> 0:09:30.361
<v Speaker 4>gun slung over his back on a horse. It's beautiful

0:09:30.481 --> 0:09:33.081
<v Speaker 4>hearing how your children.

0:09:32.641 --> 0:09:33.281
<v Speaker 2>Talk about you.

0:09:33.881 --> 0:09:36.321
<v Speaker 6>And Jason was always in cutoff jeans looking like a

0:09:36.321 --> 0:09:39.201
<v Speaker 6>little hottie, even back when we were just friends.

0:09:39.841 --> 0:09:43.241
<v Speaker 1>We both used to look at each other like you're cute.

0:09:44.001 --> 0:09:46.201
<v Speaker 6>And then later on in life, when I was nineteen

0:09:46.241 --> 0:09:48.681
<v Speaker 6>and he was twenty one, I think.

0:09:49.041 --> 0:09:52.841
<v Speaker 5>You put brown eyed girl. She was nineteen, I was

0:09:52.881 --> 0:09:55.001
<v Speaker 5>twenty one, thirty five years later.

0:09:55.441 --> 0:10:01.001
<v Speaker 4>So a lots happened in the last ten years. Things

0:10:01.041 --> 0:10:03.721
<v Speaker 4>sort of felt like they were moving towards the end

0:10:03.761 --> 0:10:06.121
<v Speaker 4>of twenty twenty four, you know, we had a couple

0:10:06.161 --> 0:10:09.201
<v Speaker 4>of conversations with Guy Barnett. It seemed like it was

0:10:09.241 --> 0:10:11.761
<v Speaker 4>all positive, and then sort of we hit the Christmas

0:10:11.761 --> 0:10:15.601
<v Speaker 4>break and everything just a massive handbrake on any action

0:10:15.841 --> 0:10:19.521
<v Speaker 4>from the government and the people in power currently. How

0:10:19.521 --> 0:10:23.041
<v Speaker 4>are you feeling about the lack of action in the

0:10:23.121 --> 0:10:24.601
<v Speaker 4>last couple of months.

0:10:25.961 --> 0:10:29.561
<v Speaker 6>Well, when somebody doesn't put something in writing to me,

0:10:30.601 --> 0:10:35.241
<v Speaker 6>I don't believe what they say. So when anybody has

0:10:35.281 --> 0:10:38.441
<v Speaker 6>said to me verbally they're going to do something, I

0:10:38.521 --> 0:10:40.921
<v Speaker 6>take it with a grain of salt. In regards to

0:10:40.961 --> 0:10:45.761
<v Speaker 6>the Attorney General, he has said nice things. I'm yet

0:10:45.801 --> 0:10:49.401
<v Speaker 6>to have any action in full. They've assured me the

0:10:49.561 --> 0:10:54.121
<v Speaker 6>changing of the law of the outdated autopsy photos not

0:10:54.201 --> 0:10:56.761
<v Speaker 6>to be released to families in Tasmania only state in

0:10:56.801 --> 0:11:00.641
<v Speaker 6>the country that's not allowed to have autopsy photos, and

0:11:00.721 --> 0:11:02.921
<v Speaker 6>I think it was nineteen ninety six that this was

0:11:03.121 --> 0:11:04.481
<v Speaker 6>changed to this.

0:11:05.481 --> 0:11:06.801
<v Speaker 1>So I'm wondering has it.

0:11:06.721 --> 0:11:09.521
<v Speaker 6>Got anything to do with Port Arthur because they never

0:11:09.561 --> 0:11:12.281
<v Speaker 6>had an inquest. Not one single person that lost a

0:11:12.321 --> 0:11:16.761
<v Speaker 6>family member in Port Arthur got an inquest. And funnily enough,

0:11:17.121 --> 0:11:22.961
<v Speaker 6>Paul Reynolds bragged about being part of that scene and

0:11:23.081 --> 0:11:26.881
<v Speaker 6>two unsolved murders in Saint Helen's and Bo Marris. How

0:11:26.881 --> 0:11:29.121
<v Speaker 6>do you brag about being part of such a messy,

0:11:29.161 --> 0:11:29.681
<v Speaker 6>messy thing.

0:11:30.241 --> 0:11:33.081
<v Speaker 5>Going back to Guy Barnett and what he's promised and

0:11:33.121 --> 0:11:36.441
<v Speaker 5>what he's said to us, I feel the procrastinations. The

0:11:36.481 --> 0:11:40.441
<v Speaker 5>old thing is the theft and on borderline think what's

0:11:40.481 --> 0:11:45.041
<v Speaker 5>happening is quite gutless and weak, and I'm angry about

0:11:45.081 --> 0:11:48.241
<v Speaker 5>it because we're just being treated with contempt and my

0:11:48.361 --> 0:11:51.241
<v Speaker 5>children and we thought, well further than that, and it

0:11:51.241 --> 0:11:52.281
<v Speaker 5>doesn't seem like we are.

0:11:52.521 --> 0:11:54.561
<v Speaker 3>We've been writing several.

0:11:54.161 --> 0:11:57.961
<v Speaker 5>Letters to the Minister of Police Felix, and he won't

0:11:58.001 --> 0:11:58.641
<v Speaker 5>even right back.

0:11:58.761 --> 0:11:58.961
<v Speaker 2>Jay.

0:11:59.601 --> 0:12:04.441
<v Speaker 5>Now that's alarming and it's concerning, and I'm not sure

0:12:04.481 --> 0:12:07.481
<v Speaker 5>why he's not acknowledging me he's handing them over to

0:12:07.561 --> 0:12:10.521
<v Speaker 5>the Police Commissioner, because I get an email the very

0:12:10.601 --> 0:12:14.081
<v Speaker 5>next day, but I have not heard one response from

0:12:14.161 --> 0:12:18.041
<v Speaker 5>the Police Minister Felix. They won't even open the conversation.

0:12:18.121 --> 0:12:19.481
<v Speaker 5>And get this, that's concerning.

0:12:19.681 --> 0:12:23.721
<v Speaker 6>At the tabling of the Royal Commission into Ashley Detention Center,

0:12:23.881 --> 0:12:27.601
<v Speaker 6>there was a little tea party afterwards, and I'm standing

0:12:27.601 --> 0:12:32.001
<v Speaker 6>there by myself and I've got these men be lining me,

0:12:32.841 --> 0:12:40.121
<v Speaker 6>Jeremy Ratcliffe, Michael Ferguson, Felix, Alex all asking me about

0:12:40.161 --> 0:12:44.121
<v Speaker 6>this situation with Felix. And then I said, what is

0:12:44.121 --> 0:12:45.921
<v Speaker 6>it going to take another one of my kids to

0:12:45.961 --> 0:12:49.041
<v Speaker 6>be killed? And I was expecting Felix to say, of course,

0:12:49.121 --> 0:12:52.961
<v Speaker 6>not missus Westbrook. But he didn't say anything. He did

0:12:52.961 --> 0:12:56.721
<v Speaker 6>not say no, that would not happen. What I'm saying

0:12:56.761 --> 0:12:59.801
<v Speaker 6>as a police minister, you've got some real work on

0:12:59.841 --> 0:13:02.401
<v Speaker 6>your hands to clean up the mess of reen hidtings firstly,

0:13:02.721 --> 0:13:06.281
<v Speaker 6>and then you've got these young recruit police coming in

0:13:06.801 --> 0:13:11.081
<v Speaker 6>just qualifying to be police, having a conversation with the

0:13:11.161 --> 0:13:15.361
<v Speaker 6>regular common person saying that the Westbrooks should get over this.

0:13:15.801 --> 0:13:18.801
<v Speaker 6>It's nonsense, it's not even real. So if a new.

0:13:18.721 --> 0:13:21.681
<v Speaker 1>Recruit is thinking like that, where coming from.

0:13:21.761 --> 0:13:24.441
<v Speaker 6>It's coming from the head and the fish rots from.

0:13:24.361 --> 0:13:25.081
<v Speaker 1>The head down.

0:13:25.521 --> 0:13:29.521
<v Speaker 4>How was it hearing Jackie talk about what she wants,

0:13:30.681 --> 0:13:35.441
<v Speaker 4>the rope, the autopsy photos, the change to the law.

0:13:36.921 --> 0:13:42.361
<v Speaker 6>How did that make you feel empowered? Fierce a little territorial.

0:13:42.881 --> 0:13:47.761
<v Speaker 6>We've got the right person on our team. She's legit,

0:13:48.561 --> 0:13:54.241
<v Speaker 6>she's straight up, she's accountable, she served our country. How

0:13:54.281 --> 0:13:59.601
<v Speaker 6>can somebody that has that much knowledge on this country

0:14:00.761 --> 0:14:04.561
<v Speaker 6>not be recognized as somebody that is great. She's always

0:14:04.561 --> 0:14:08.361
<v Speaker 6>making a friends, always kept more people alive in this

0:14:08.401 --> 0:14:09.241
<v Speaker 6>country than I can.

0:14:09.401 --> 0:14:13.161
<v Speaker 5>She's Australia politician currently at the moment, and I don't

0:14:13.161 --> 0:14:15.201
<v Speaker 5>think she has anything to worry about getting elected in

0:14:15.281 --> 0:14:16.561
<v Speaker 5>because Jackie does her job.

0:14:17.001 --> 0:14:19.201
<v Speaker 4>From my experience, she does what she says she's going

0:14:19.241 --> 0:14:21.601
<v Speaker 4>to do it.

0:14:20.641 --> 0:14:24.361
<v Speaker 6>And she's not just paying people. She's not giving this

0:14:24.441 --> 0:14:27.241
<v Speaker 6>community a new soccer field and a new toilet block

0:14:28.081 --> 0:14:28.921
<v Speaker 6>to get things.

0:14:29.881 --> 0:14:33.561
<v Speaker 4>Jackie Lamby is really loved in Tasmania, which was evident

0:14:33.601 --> 0:14:36.481
<v Speaker 4>on the day I arrived. Contractors kept turning up to

0:14:36.561 --> 0:14:38.961
<v Speaker 4>Jason and Amanda's place to work on their new house,

0:14:39.401 --> 0:14:41.681
<v Speaker 4>and each of them wanted to talk to Jackie.

0:14:41.761 --> 0:14:43.361
<v Speaker 5>Because we're in the build, We've got people that are

0:14:43.401 --> 0:14:45.921
<v Speaker 5>arriving at different times, and we had the pump guy come.

0:14:46.001 --> 0:14:49.361
<v Speaker 5>The concrete pump is at Jackie Lamby. I know Jackie,

0:14:49.521 --> 0:14:51.081
<v Speaker 5>he says, I've got to go and talk to Jackie.

0:14:51.241 --> 0:14:52.681
<v Speaker 5>He went down and shook her hand and give her

0:14:52.681 --> 0:14:56.001
<v Speaker 5>a Huggi's edmember and she knew him. Amanda takes Jackie

0:14:56.001 --> 0:14:57.641
<v Speaker 5>around to have a look at the Kiwi for it.

0:14:58.201 --> 0:15:01.161
<v Speaker 5>Our name over next door Ollen is that Jackie And

0:15:01.201 --> 0:15:02.921
<v Speaker 5>he said, we love you, Jackie.

0:15:03.081 --> 0:15:08.001
<v Speaker 3>And these are just typical men that admire her. And

0:15:08.561 --> 0:15:10.841
<v Speaker 3>that's what I see out there in society. We all

0:15:10.921 --> 0:15:13.881
<v Speaker 3>love Jackie. Mate. How can you not love that? Woman.

0:15:14.041 --> 0:15:17.041
<v Speaker 5>I've seen that woman cry, you mate, crying over my daughter.

0:15:17.121 --> 0:15:18.081
<v Speaker 3>That was so emotional.

0:15:18.161 --> 0:15:21.521
<v Speaker 6>Jake, I think it's to you get really heavily involved

0:15:22.601 --> 0:15:23.641
<v Speaker 6>and you see they're hurt.

0:15:25.441 --> 0:15:27.001
<v Speaker 3>It's been going on too long.

0:15:27.921 --> 0:15:29.681
<v Speaker 1>I just we just want to know the truth.

0:15:30.361 --> 0:15:33.081
<v Speaker 5>And it's more important of the West Books than the

0:15:33.161 --> 0:15:36.281
<v Speaker 5>kids to know what happened to their daughter.

0:15:36.041 --> 0:15:38.761
<v Speaker 1>And their sister. And we need to know this and

0:15:38.841 --> 0:15:39.801
<v Speaker 1>they're never going to move on.

0:15:41.201 --> 0:15:43.641
<v Speaker 5>We're in good hands with Jackie, and we're in good

0:15:43.641 --> 0:15:46.201
<v Speaker 5>hands with another couple of people too, which I can't

0:15:46.241 --> 0:15:47.841
<v Speaker 5>mention one sitting.

0:15:47.561 --> 0:15:51.241
<v Speaker 2>Around the table really hard. Yeah, but what we can't.

0:15:51.001 --> 0:15:53.441
<v Speaker 4>Mention, No, we're talking about the torpedo who's going full

0:15:53.481 --> 0:15:54.041
<v Speaker 4>double eight.

0:15:54.161 --> 0:15:56.921
<v Speaker 1>But let's move on book A knowledge on also name.

0:15:57.441 --> 0:15:59.441
<v Speaker 4>There's been a couple of things that have happened that

0:15:59.561 --> 0:16:03.721
<v Speaker 4>are outside of the Eden case, which shows you now

0:16:03.761 --> 0:16:06.281
<v Speaker 4>have the support of the community. The first is the

0:16:06.321 --> 0:16:09.441
<v Speaker 4>card that you showed me. You've heard me talk about

0:16:09.441 --> 0:16:12.721
<v Speaker 4>how much I admired Jason and Amanda, but here's a

0:16:12.801 --> 0:16:16.801
<v Speaker 4>story that sort of epitomizes who they are as people.

0:16:17.321 --> 0:16:20.321
<v Speaker 4>Just before Christmas, Jason was at the local ida and

0:16:20.401 --> 0:16:22.801
<v Speaker 4>saw a woman who had locked her keys in a car.

0:16:23.281 --> 0:16:27.321
<v Speaker 4>She recognized Jason from the podcast, and she asked him

0:16:27.361 --> 0:16:27.841
<v Speaker 4>for help.

0:16:28.241 --> 0:16:28.481
<v Speaker 3>Hunter.

0:16:28.641 --> 0:16:30.241
<v Speaker 5>As you know, I was down with Jack for the

0:16:30.241 --> 0:16:32.001
<v Speaker 5>holidays and they were in the car park.

0:16:32.121 --> 0:16:34.401
<v Speaker 3>She needed something from me. So I've driven down there and.

0:16:34.361 --> 0:16:36.281
<v Speaker 5>I'm just having a conversation with a lot good Hunter.

0:16:36.361 --> 0:16:38.001
<v Speaker 3>How you go on? And this woman said, excuse me,

0:16:38.041 --> 0:16:38.961
<v Speaker 3>are you Jason Westbrook.

0:16:39.041 --> 0:16:41.441
<v Speaker 5>I've been listening to the podcast sent me her best

0:16:41.441 --> 0:16:43.681
<v Speaker 5>wishes and I said, oh, yeah, thanks so much.

0:16:43.801 --> 0:16:46.081
<v Speaker 3>And then she says, oh, look, I've actually locked my keys.

0:16:45.841 --> 0:16:48.441
<v Speaker 5>In my dad's truck. Would you go able to help me?

0:16:48.721 --> 0:16:50.761
<v Speaker 5>I had some wire and that wrapped aside went and

0:16:50.801 --> 0:16:52.921
<v Speaker 5>got that and I got in and I just couldn't

0:16:52.961 --> 0:16:54.641
<v Speaker 5>get it. And I said, oh, look, I'm sorry. I said,

0:16:54.641 --> 0:16:57.081
<v Speaker 5>are you with RACT? She says no, but my daughter is.

0:16:57.521 --> 0:16:59.081
<v Speaker 5>I said I will give them a call. They'll come

0:16:59.121 --> 0:17:01.561
<v Speaker 5>and unlock it. Anyway, I ended up getting her to

0:17:01.601 --> 0:17:04.001
<v Speaker 5>ring and she says, oh, my daughter's an RACT member

0:17:04.201 --> 0:17:06.640
<v Speaker 5>and he says no, she in the car and she

0:17:06.721 --> 0:17:09.521
<v Speaker 5>said no, well, I can't come because you've got to

0:17:09.521 --> 0:17:11.120
<v Speaker 5>be in the car. And then I said, I just

0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:13.120
<v Speaker 5>hang up. I said I can get him here. So

0:17:13.201 --> 0:17:15.920
<v Speaker 5>I rang RCT booked him in for I've locked my

0:17:16.001 --> 0:17:16.641
<v Speaker 5>keys in the car.

0:17:16.721 --> 0:17:17.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm sitting with the passenger.

0:17:17.921 --> 0:17:20.880
<v Speaker 5>It comes along five minutes later and he pulls it out.

0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:23.920
<v Speaker 5>She was so happy, and she's pulled out like I

0:17:23.961 --> 0:17:25.920
<v Speaker 5>saw two fifty dominapes and she says like, look, I

0:17:26.001 --> 0:17:27.561
<v Speaker 5>just want to pay you for what you did. I said,

0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:30.641
<v Speaker 5>I don't want your money. Married Christmas. She said, look,

0:17:30.721 --> 0:17:32.041
<v Speaker 5>thanks so much, and she's left.

0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:35.281
<v Speaker 3>Yesterday was it yesterday? Day before? I was doing it

0:17:35.360 --> 0:17:36.761
<v Speaker 3>up at the slab and the car's pulled and I.

0:17:36.761 --> 0:17:38.400
<v Speaker 5>Heard the dog's bark, and then I've heard Amanda come

0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:40.641
<v Speaker 5>around with some guy I've never seen, and he's got

0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:42.681
<v Speaker 5>these cards in his hand and he's there.

0:17:42.721 --> 0:17:45.401
<v Speaker 3>I saw the woman that I helped, and she said,

<v Speaker 4>And then when I arrived this morning, I was talking

0:18:22.120 --> 0:18:24.041
<v Speaker 4>to Jason. He was on the bar out the front

0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:27.160

0:18:27.201 --> 0:18:28.960

<v Speaker 4>to believe this.

0:18:29.561 --> 0:18:30.601
<v Speaker 2>I've been nominated.

0:18:30.961 --> 0:18:31.881
<v Speaker 3>Tell me about them.

0:18:32.321 --> 0:18:34.721
<v Speaker 4>Tell me about the award, Jason, because I think again,

0:18:34.761 --> 0:18:35.801
<v Speaker 4>this is just highlights.

0:18:35.961 --> 0:18:36.201
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:18:36.321 --> 0:18:40.401
<v Speaker 5>I received one on two letters of received Jacob. One

0:18:40.481 --> 0:18:42.521
<v Speaker 5>was on the third of January. This is from the

0:18:42.521 --> 0:18:46.001
<v Speaker 5>Breaka Day Camp from my friends mate. Actually, the man

0:18:46.360 --> 0:18:49.001
<v Speaker 5>Mick Tucker would like to invite you to attend Australia

0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:51.161
<v Speaker 5>Day Awards, which are being held at the Portland Hall

0:18:51.201 --> 0:18:54.241
<v Speaker 5>on Friday, the twenty sixth of January twenty twenty five

0:18:54.360 --> 0:18:57.761
<v Speaker 5>at eleven am. You are receiving an invitation as you

0:18:57.961 --> 0:19:00.840
<v Speaker 5>have been nominated for Australia Day Award.

0:19:01.880 --> 0:19:02.360
<v Speaker 1>How good?

0:19:02.640 --> 0:19:03.841
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, what regard?

0:19:03.961 --> 0:19:08.720
<v Speaker 5>Why citizen for mowing and looking after the Fisherman's Memorial

0:19:08.761 --> 0:19:11.960
<v Speaker 5>Park for the last decade for not only Eden, but

0:19:12.001 --> 0:19:14.401
<v Speaker 5>for the fishermen that have lost their lives while pursuing

0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:14.920
<v Speaker 5>their careers.

0:19:14.961 --> 0:19:18.440
<v Speaker 3>And you get paid for that.

0:19:18.840 --> 0:19:21.480
<v Speaker 1>It's a labor of love. We do love to do that.

0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:26.600
<v Speaker 6>The fishermen's widows were getting a little old, so they

0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:28.761
<v Speaker 6>weren't able to look after it to the point where

0:19:28.761 --> 0:19:30.561
<v Speaker 6>they would have liked it because they planted all the

0:19:30.561 --> 0:19:32.801
<v Speaker 6>trees and all the gardens that are in there. So

0:19:33.880 --> 0:19:36.201
<v Speaker 6>we took over it. The council and us all worked

0:19:36.201 --> 0:19:38.600
<v Speaker 6>together to make sure that the whole town smote at

0:19:38.640 --> 0:19:39.281
<v Speaker 6>the same time.

0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:42.160
<v Speaker 5>When I got this letter, I took a photo of

0:19:42.201 --> 0:19:44.520
<v Speaker 5>it and sent it to Donnie, my youngest son, Dante.

0:19:45.041 --> 0:19:48.400
<v Speaker 3>He said, well, it makes goddamn sense.

0:19:48.521 --> 0:19:51.441
<v Speaker 5>You're a great citizen, you know what, Jay, I don't

0:19:51.441 --> 0:19:53.521
<v Speaker 5>care what happens on that day. To get that from

0:19:53.521 --> 0:19:56.801
<v Speaker 5>my youngest son, that means everything to me so great.

0:19:56.880 --> 0:19:59.281
<v Speaker 3>I really appreciate being nominated. I've already won.

0:19:59.761 --> 0:20:04.720
<v Speaker 5>When my son writes that to me, mate, I'm chuffed, truly.

0:20:05.561 --> 0:20:08.961
<v Speaker 6>And it was the cheeky couple from Swansea that did

0:20:09.001 --> 0:20:12.761
<v Speaker 6>the stickers in the badge that nominated Jason and I

0:20:12.840 --> 0:20:17.761
<v Speaker 6>call them cheeky because they wrote to the Westbrook Legends.

0:20:17.921 --> 0:20:21.561
<v Speaker 4>At the start of each year, people do a vision board.

0:20:21.880 --> 0:20:23.961
<v Speaker 4>I want to pose the question to you to what

0:20:24.041 --> 0:20:27.561
<v Speaker 4>does twenty twenty five look like in regards to Eden.

0:20:28.120 --> 0:20:32.361
<v Speaker 6>Well, for a premonition that I can see the autopsy

0:20:32.481 --> 0:20:37.041
<v Speaker 6>photos will be released, those that are unattainable would have

0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:40.881
<v Speaker 6>stepped down and have no longer a position of authority,

0:20:40.961 --> 0:20:44.680
<v Speaker 6>power and respect, because once we have them, we can

0:20:44.961 --> 0:20:48.480
<v Speaker 6>concur with what's been told to us from witnesses that

0:20:48.761 --> 0:20:53.161
<v Speaker 6>see Eden on that night, and it's awful, it's really horrible.

0:20:53.640 --> 0:20:58.360
<v Speaker 1>But we need them to take the next step forward.

0:20:58.561 --> 0:21:01.640
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I'd like to see laws change that need to change,

0:21:01.681 --> 0:21:03.840
<v Speaker 5>and accountability to those that have lied.

0:21:05.080 --> 0:21:06.441
<v Speaker 1>We're not agreeing with the lie either.

0:21:06.481 --> 0:21:10.761
<v Speaker 6>Everyone that history likes to do History likes to say, well,

0:21:10.880 --> 0:21:13.081
<v Speaker 6>let's all just agree on the one lie, shall we.

0:21:13.481 --> 0:21:15.041
<v Speaker 1>No, we're not agreeing with any of that.

0:21:15.640 --> 0:21:17.480
<v Speaker 6>Some of them may die with the lie, but I

0:21:17.481 --> 0:21:20.400
<v Speaker 6>can assure you the ones that you don't know don't

0:21:20.400 --> 0:21:21.481
<v Speaker 6>want to die with the lie.

0:21:21.801 --> 0:21:25.400
<v Speaker 1>They want a clear conscience. They're spilling the tea and

0:21:25.400 --> 0:21:28.321
<v Speaker 6>That's why Jackie says, everybody come clean and we might

0:21:28.360 --> 0:21:37.921
<v Speaker 6>have a little lenience for you.
