1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,240 Speaker 1: Happy New Year, Oli Peterson, Andrew you too. Can I 2 00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:06,120 Speaker 1: just say Tony Jones was doing a bit of a 3 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,520 Speaker 1: banter and I think Novak Jokovic is just a little 4 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:09,440 Speaker 1: bit too sensitive. 5 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,520 Speaker 2: Look, he might be a little bit, but let's think 6 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 2: about the context. 7 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,079 Speaker 3: Of when he came out here. 8 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 2: During the Australian Open and he wasn't vaccinated. And look, 9 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:21,960 Speaker 2: Tony Jones is very divisive as well. 10 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 3: It must be said. 11 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 2: He's a veteran sports broadcaster. He's part of the network 12 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 2: which employs me to be blunter Andrew. So when he 13 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 2: went on television the other night on nine News in 14 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 2: Melbourne saying he's overrated, he's has been kicking him out. 15 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 3: There was a bit of a social media pylon. But 16 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 3: last night, when you. 17 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 2: Think about it, set a court and he has been 18 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 2: all around the world that Novak will not talk to 19 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,240 Speaker 2: Jim Courier because of course Korea is there representing nine 20 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 2: the host broadcaster. 21 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 3: We got major international relations issues. 22 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 2: So he's Tony Jones this morning explaining why he said 23 00:00:58,160 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 2: what he said and saying. 24 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 4: Sorry on the Saturday Morning from Tennis Australia via the 25 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 4: Djokovic camp that the Jokovic camp was not happy at 26 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 4: all with those comments. Now as such, I immediately contacted 27 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 4: the Jokovic camp and issued an apology to them. So 28 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 4: this is forty eight hours ago for any disrespect that 29 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 4: Novak felt that I had caused. 30 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 2: So he's saying he tried to say sorry already, but 31 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 2: they didn't want to come to the party. He just 32 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 2: should let's be blunt, he shouldn't have said it. And 33 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 2: he's actually not very funny Tony. 34 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 3: She just sticked at the sport. 35 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,839 Speaker 1: But you know, at the same time, the Aussie crowds, 36 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:35,759 Speaker 1: I mean, he goes a feral. Look what you did. 37 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 1: Look what you did to Daniella Collins. She said, you 38 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: know what she did wrong? She beat an Australian and 39 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: that was enough. That was enough to be savaged. 40 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:44,320 Speaker 3: Absolutely. 41 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 2: But you know what I like, I actually like, and 42 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 2: maybe this is my twisted sense of humor. I like 43 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 2: that Novak's giving it back to us, or giving it 44 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 2: back to Tony Jones, even in all of that context. 45 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 2: So you know, look, probably part of the wider issues 46 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 2: of the organization that I work for right now, Andrew, 47 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 2: and there's been the culture reports last year out of 48 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 2: nine and there's been all sorts of issues with neither. 49 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 2: There's lots of headaches for my parent company unit at 50 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 2: the moment, and it's just another blow probably to the 51 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,799 Speaker 2: reputation of the media business at the moment, which as 52 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 2: you and I know, we go through from time to 53 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 2: time for the organizations twisted. 54 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 1: But can I say, I don't think anybody is completing 55 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 1: I think nine and the Aussie Openness is in there going. 56 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: This is excellent publicity. True people are going to be 57 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,639 Speaker 1: watching to see what Tourney says next and what Novak 58 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: says next. It's not bad now serious topic. New South 59 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: Wales government they're cracking down on anti Semitism. There's anti 60 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: hate laws, all sorts of stuff. 61 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're going to be bringing these new laws next 62 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 2: month which will effectively make it illegal for hate speech. 63 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 2: It'll make it more difficult of the contentious legislation when 64 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 2: the new legislation is brought about next month in the 65 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 2: state Parliament of New South Wales. So if somebody's preaching 66 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 2: hatred in the community, they say it won't manifest itself 67 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 2: two or three months later in a fire bombing, an 68 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 2: attack or something worse. But doesn't that show there's a 69 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 2: failure of the current laws, like you know, put even 70 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 2: all of these issues to one side. In terms of 71 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 2: people's houses being fire bombed in Sydney or graffiti or 72 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 2: with anti anti Semitic messages, we already had the laws 73 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 2: in place, like if you're going to be a goose, 74 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 2: then you're going to have to be held to account 75 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 2: for being a goose regardless of what you do. You 76 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 2: can't go around graffeeding a place. You can't go around 77 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 2: five buying a place for whatever the motivation is. And 78 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 2: I don't think this cracks down, Andrew on groups that 79 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 2: are trying to gather together for religious purposes to protest 80 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,079 Speaker 2: for whatever form of issue that they might want to 81 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 2: be making a song and dance about. This doesn't change 82 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 2: any of that. Just don't be a dhead, basically, Andrew. 83 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 2: That's what it's saying. And if you are, then you 84 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 2: should be facing the full extent of the law. And 85 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 2: I don't know why you need to bring a new legislation. 86 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 3: To stop this. 87 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 2: You already have the power there at your disposal. Just 88 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 2: make sure there are enough police on the beat. 89 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: All right. And I'm talking about too sensitive. I probably 90 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: should have done this after Novak Djokovic. Really we've got 91 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: the stories around the wrong way. But we've got this 92 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: graduate lawyer who's accused as the employer of bullying after 93 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: they told him to stop going up late two meetings. 94 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 2: How's this a lawyer who's working, by the way, for 95 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 2: the government department as well, so he's working for the 96 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 2: public sector. He has taken on his employer to the 97 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 2: Fair Work Commission because let's say it was a nine 98 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 2: o'clock start. He got reprimanded on a few occasions for 99 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 2: turning up after nine o'clock at well after nine o'clock 100 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 2: as well, it might have been ten or eleven because 101 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 2: he had a bit of a sleeping disorder. 102 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 3: He really struggled. 103 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 2: And he also had an issue with the fact that 104 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 2: the meetings were too long Andrews some of them going 105 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 2: for two hours or four hours. 106 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 3: He just couldn't cop it. 107 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 2: Doesn't this sound like the current generation of university in 108 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 2: high school graduates. 109 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 3: I might be generalizing here for a moment, who. 110 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 2: Just don't understand the definition of a little bit of 111 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 2: hard work and getting your head So poor boy, he's 112 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 2: obviously trotted off to a new organization, and Fair Work 113 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 2: didn't find in favor of Well. 114 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: The funny thing is that they have no shame. They 115 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: have no fear either. They just they open up their 116 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 1: mouth and they go for it and they stand up 117 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 1: for themselves, which is also an admirable quality, even if 118 00:04:58,040 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: he's a complete dhead to quickly. 119 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 2: Well, he's starting off thinking that he should be the 120 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,239 Speaker 2: manager of the boss, because why not like just walking 121 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 2: to the top job and not have to do the 122 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 2: hard work. So poor fellow, he's got a reality check 123 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,559 Speaker 2: and maybe he should have decided to go into another 124 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 2: profession other than being a lawyer, because good luck getting 125 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 2: another gig. 126 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 3: How old you OLLI thirty seven point nine?
