1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: The protests certainly got some reaction and some headlines didn't it.

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: This is the Australian Senator Lydia Thorpe reaction. Donna Demeyo,

3
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: Our Australia corresponds with us Donna, good morning. What has

4
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: the reaction been.

5
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 2: Yes, we're quite a hostile reception for the Royals in

6
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 2: Canberra and it was just a few meters away that

7
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 2: the Royal couple sat through this rather intense heckling from

8
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 2: the Independent Senator Lydia Thorpe. The reaction, of course has

9
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 2: been quite swift. We know that the Australian Monarchist League

10
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 2: wants her to step down immediately, calling the protest a childish.

11
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 2: Then we heard from Australia's first female Aboriginal senator, Nova Paris,

12
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 2: and she's actually issued what some people are saying is

13
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 2: literally an apoll to the King, saying it was a

14
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 2: rude outburst and a disrespectful attempt to confront the King.

15
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 2: We know that the senator was escorted out by security.

16
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 2: There was even an expletely yelled out in fact, as

17
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 2: Camilla and Charles sat there. There was no reaction from

18
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 2: the Royals. Mind you. The PM also was in the

19
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 2: Room and his fiancee and Peter Dutton, quite a selection

20
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 2: of politicians of course. But we've also heard from front

21
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 2: benches from both sides and they're saying it was just

22
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 2: grand standing and it actually just failed miserably.

23
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, lots of reaction coming from the UK as well,

24
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: and I'll get to some of that in a second,

25
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 1: but very quickly, Donna, there's a massive compensation bill coming

26
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: for Quantas.

27
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 2: Huge Quandas is facing a well about one hundred million

28
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 2: dollar plus payout for illegal sackings. It's a hefty bill

29
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: for unlawfully laying off staff during the pandemic and it

30
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 2: impacts about seventeen hundred workers that lost their job in

31
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 2: twenty twenty. Now they've got to get together, the lawyers

32
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 2: will get together and tender mediation to determine that final

33
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 2: amount payout.

34
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: All right, Donna, thank you very much for that. That's

35
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,720
