WEBVTT - MINI! Britt and Laura BOTH had their drinks spiked by people they trusted😠

0:00:00.400 --> 0:00:03.800
<v Speaker 1>Head into chemist warehouse, purchase any new Ego qv Serahides

0:00:03.800 --> 0:00:05.360
<v Speaker 1>product and you'll go in the running to win a

0:00:05.360 --> 0:00:07.200
<v Speaker 1>bloody car. And it's downstairs in the parking lot. We've

0:00:07.200 --> 0:00:08.480
<v Speaker 1>all seen it every day when we arrive.

0:00:08.600 --> 0:00:10.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh it's a pretty little.

0:00:09.880 --> 0:00:12.040
<v Speaker 1>Car, shiny, isn't It might not be there long. No

0:00:12.360 --> 0:00:14.960
<v Speaker 1>competition ends on a twenty second affair. Teas and sees apply.

0:00:15.040 --> 0:00:18.160
<v Speaker 1>You ladies, know Hugh Sheridan, right, Yes, we do. Well.

0:00:18.200 --> 0:00:20.439
<v Speaker 1>This is actually it's a really tragic story. So who

0:00:20.480 --> 0:00:23.680
<v Speaker 1>has opened up about a horrific experience that happened when

0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:25.920
<v Speaker 1>a couple spiked his drink That I.

0:00:25.880 --> 0:00:28.360
<v Speaker 2>Was in Sydney a few years ago and I was

0:00:28.360 --> 0:00:29.440
<v Speaker 2>around Melbourne Cup dying.

0:00:29.800 --> 0:00:36.080
<v Speaker 3>I actually got someone drugged me. Two people drugged me, and.

0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:39.559
<v Speaker 2>I know I was stuck for about eight hours.

0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:41.000
<v Speaker 1>Truly awful. And the reason I bring this up is

0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:42.720
<v Speaker 1>because you don't often hear it happening to men. It's

0:00:42.800 --> 0:00:44.159
<v Speaker 1>often a female lad narrative.

0:00:44.200 --> 0:00:45.680
<v Speaker 2>It's actually so frightening.

0:00:45.840 --> 0:00:48.800
<v Speaker 3>I've been drugged three times, by the way, you care. Yeah,

0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:51.120
<v Speaker 3>and I know that Laura's had a situation. I have

0:00:51.240 --> 0:00:54.800
<v Speaker 3>so many friends as well or female friends that have

0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:58.040
<v Speaker 3>been in this situation too, like it is so problematic,

0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:00.320
<v Speaker 3>but it's so prevalent, and I think think a lot

0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:02.440
<v Speaker 3>of people don't know how prevalent it is because it's

0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:04.920
<v Speaker 3>not wildly reported. I know what happened to me. I

0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:06.720
<v Speaker 3>didn't because there was a part of me that was like, well,

0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:08.440
<v Speaker 3>what are they going to do about it? Anyway? How

0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:10.240
<v Speaker 3>are they going to prove it? Like you just think that?

0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:12.119
<v Speaker 3>And I think that most women think that unless there's

0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:14.200
<v Speaker 3>a way for them to feel that they one hundred

0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:16.400
<v Speaker 3>percent can be heard and something can be done about it.

0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:19.000
<v Speaker 2>And also I mean, like, what has happened to you here?

0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:22.319
<v Speaker 2>Often you don't know. You don't remember because of the

0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:24.959
<v Speaker 2>whole situation because you don't have you know, you don't

0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:27.360
<v Speaker 2>have your cognitive ability, you've been drugged, you don't know.

0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:29.840
<v Speaker 2>So it's really hard to then talk about something when

0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:32.560
<v Speaker 2>you don't know the specifics. But like you know, even

0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:34.400
<v Speaker 2>with what you're saying for it, like it's happened to

0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:37.400
<v Speaker 2>you three times, it's happened to me once. I know

0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:39.960
<v Speaker 2>so many women, and I think that it's it's something

0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:41.880
<v Speaker 2>that we have to be conscious of as women. But

0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:43.960
<v Speaker 2>you don't hear men like how many times have you

0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:46.119
<v Speaker 2>left the house and gone out and thought, well, better

0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:48.320
<v Speaker 2>be careful that my drink doesn't get spiked, and not once.

0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:50.200
<v Speaker 1>It is not a thought that is top of mind

0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:51.880
<v Speaker 1>for me when I go out clubbing or drinking and

0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:53.160
<v Speaker 1>with friends as well, never think about it.

0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:54.160
<v Speaker 3>I think about it all the time.

0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:56.640
<v Speaker 2>But this is the thing, right, Like the scary part

0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:58.880
<v Speaker 2>of this story, and it's something that I hope that

0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:01.560
<v Speaker 2>everyone is really conscious of, is that it doesn't just

0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:04.720
<v Speaker 2>happen when you're at a nightclub or you're out with strangers.

0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:07.480
<v Speaker 2>Like my experience was with someone who I thought was

0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:09.400
<v Speaker 2>my friend, so I think you know, and in this

0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:11.800
<v Speaker 2>experience with Hugh Sheridan, it was someone who he thought

0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:14.640
<v Speaker 2>was his friends and people he knew, And I think

0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:18.160
<v Speaker 2>that that is something that's very underrepresented and not talked

0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:20.600
<v Speaker 2>about enough. So I mean, it is so brave of

0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:22.680
<v Speaker 2>you to come forward and share this story, but also

0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:25.440
<v Speaker 2>just to really highlight that not only is it strangers,

0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:26.959
<v Speaker 2>it's people that you know that can be the people

0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:27.720
<v Speaker 2>at bottom of this well.

0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:30.160
<v Speaker 3>I mean one of mine was on a date, one

0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:34.480
<v Speaker 3>of mine was a barman. So that made me very worried,

0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:37.640
<v Speaker 3>disgusting because you can be as careful as you want

0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:39.880
<v Speaker 3>covering your drinks and you know, walking around a bar,

0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:42.959
<v Speaker 3>but if it's come from behind the bar when you've ordered,

0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:44.760
<v Speaker 3>it's out of your control. And the other one was

0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:47.920
<v Speaker 3>a patron, just at a nightclub kind of like outdancing.

0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:49.639
<v Speaker 1>Well, the other thing you hear is is you get

0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:51.320
<v Speaker 1>taught this. I mean, we got taught in school when

0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:53.760
<v Speaker 1>I was in school. And you tell your daughters and parents,

0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:56.200
<v Speaker 1>tell your kids when they're going when that age about

0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:58.480
<v Speaker 1>to go clubing when they're seventeen eighteen. But this happened

0:02:58.520 --> 0:02:59.840
<v Speaker 1>to Hugh when he was in his thirties. I mean

0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:02.720
<v Speaker 1>it happened to both of you.

0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:05.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, But I also think on that you become so

0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:08.799
<v Speaker 2>because when you are eighteen, you're very hyper vigilant. You

0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:10.560
<v Speaker 2>know you're eighteen and that you've heard all these horror

0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:12.760
<v Speaker 2>stories and you think, oh god, I'll cover my drink,

0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:15.079
<v Speaker 2>and you walk around with your hand over your vodka

0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:17.280
<v Speaker 2>Cruz or whatever it is. But then when you get

0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:20.000
<v Speaker 2>into your thirties, you think, I'm way past this as

0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:20.919
<v Speaker 2>being a possibility.

0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:24.120
<v Speaker 3>This is completely irrelevant what I'm about to say, but

0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:25.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to say it on the person I was

0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:27.600
<v Speaker 3>on a date with that drug me. He was the

0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:29.600
<v Speaker 3>biggest geek, right, I was like, this guy.

0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:31.760
<v Speaker 1>Is the biggest geek, unassuming.

0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:33.560
<v Speaker 3>But very endearing. And what I mean by that is

0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:36.320
<v Speaker 3>it was just for the cliche who you think is

0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:38.360
<v Speaker 3>going to drug you? I do want to say to cliche,

0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:39.920
<v Speaker 3>but who comes to mind when you think of someone's

0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:42.160
<v Speaker 3>going to drug you out a nightclub? This person, for

0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:45.240
<v Speaker 3>me was the furthest thing that I would have thought

0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:47.040
<v Speaker 3>it would have happened with. And again, you can never

0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:48.680
<v Speaker 3>judge a book by its cover. We know that.

0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:52.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm so grateful that Hugh felt confident enough to come

0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:54.160
<v Speaker 2>out and speak about this because I think it is

0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:57.680
<v Speaker 2>such an important reminder for everyone, not just parents, but

0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:00.760
<v Speaker 2>for anyone listening that you know, you have to be

0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:03.680
<v Speaker 2>so conscious that this does happen. It still happens all

0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:07.680
<v Speaker 2>the time, and it is hugely underreported and underrepresented, and

0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:09.920
<v Speaker 2>I just think, you know, putting in shining a light

0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:12.360
<v Speaker 2>on it is like the only way to protect people.

0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:14.640
<v Speaker 1>Totally good on you, Hue Amura. That is us to

0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:15.440
