6
00:00:27,444 --> 00:00:30,164
Speaker 2: Was he the loggis last night? No? No, I couldn't

7
00:00:30,164 --> 00:00:31,324
Speaker 2: make the loggis last night.

8
00:00:31,364 --> 00:00:33,324
Speaker 1: A lot of people asked where you were. Well, you know,

9
00:00:33,403 --> 00:00:35,244
Speaker 1: I said you had to stay home watch the Sharks.

10
00:00:35,284 --> 00:00:36,803
Speaker 1: You were texting me in the midst of all that,

11
00:00:36,844 --> 00:00:38,644
Speaker 1: going Sharks of one if you're interested.

12
00:00:38,684 --> 00:00:40,684
Speaker 2: Well, they had a minute thirty to go, and I thought, well,

13
00:00:40,804 --> 00:00:43,324
Speaker 2: you know, even though they're a fair bit ahead, there's

14
00:00:43,324 --> 00:00:45,764
Speaker 2: a good chance they could lose. Never assume which happens.

15
00:00:45,764 --> 00:00:47,844
Speaker 2: That's why I couldn't go to the legis. But you

16
00:00:47,844 --> 00:00:50,724
Speaker 2: were there and Lynn mcgrangeer. I texted Lenny. I said,

17
00:00:50,724 --> 00:00:53,123
Speaker 2: good luck. I said, you're going to win this.

18
00:00:53,644 --> 00:00:56,204
Speaker 1: She was obviously the room favorite.

19
00:00:56,324 --> 00:00:58,324
Speaker 2: And I said, if you do win, give me a

20
00:00:58,404 --> 00:00:58,924
Speaker 2: shout out.

21
00:00:59,004 --> 00:01:01,484
Speaker 1: Oh and did you do you awake at the end,

22
00:01:01,484 --> 00:01:03,644
Speaker 1: because oh, then she yes, she gave you a giant

23
00:01:03,644 --> 00:01:04,564
Speaker 1: showdow did she did?

24
00:01:04,604 --> 00:01:04,884
Speaker 2: She?

25
00:01:04,884 --> 00:01:07,124
Speaker 1: She said, Jonesy, go the shark.

26
00:01:07,404 --> 00:01:08,884
Speaker 2: She said, let's listen to.

27
00:01:09,044 --> 00:01:14,684
Speaker 3: Thirty three years, I've done this amazing show. I'm thrilled

28
00:01:14,724 --> 00:01:17,404
Speaker 3: and honored and before I forget, this is going to

29
00:01:17,404 --> 00:01:22,204
Speaker 3: be pride of place next to my nineteen seventy four

30
00:01:22,284 --> 00:01:24,644
Speaker 3: Wogga Wogga Drama Festival Best Actress.

31
00:01:25,444 --> 00:01:28,484
Speaker 2: And it's true you've cut off a bit where she

32
00:01:28,564 --> 00:01:28,884
Speaker 2: thanks me.

33
00:01:29,084 --> 00:01:30,724
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'll play that for you long.

34
00:01:30,804 --> 00:01:33,324
Speaker 2: I will say you did. You are so good at presenting.

35
00:01:33,364 --> 00:01:36,244
Speaker 1: So I presented with Bethany. And now Bethany was one

36
00:01:36,244 --> 00:01:39,204
Speaker 1: of the neuro divergent journalism students who interviewed me for

37
00:01:39,244 --> 00:01:41,764
Speaker 1: the Assembly, and we got to present the War together.

38
00:01:41,844 --> 00:01:45,324
Speaker 1: And can I just say the energy of Bethany And

39
00:01:45,364 --> 00:01:47,444
Speaker 1: also I'm sitting next to Lisa Miller from the ABC,

40
00:01:47,564 --> 00:01:51,644
Speaker 1: who was just thrilled to be nominated for the Gold

41
00:01:52,124 --> 00:01:54,764
Speaker 1: And I thought, that's the energy you want. It's very

42
00:01:54,804 --> 00:01:59,004
Speaker 1: easy to be cynical about TV, about the room, about

43
00:01:59,004 --> 00:02:02,284
Speaker 1: all that stuff. That is absolutely the energy to be

44
00:02:02,404 --> 00:02:05,764
Speaker 1: stoked to be there and to be honest. Before I went,

45
00:02:06,244 --> 00:02:08,043
Speaker 1: and I've got a lot going on at home, I thought,

46
00:02:08,043 --> 00:02:11,524
Speaker 1: do I have enough in the tank to enter a

47
00:02:11,603 --> 00:02:15,004
Speaker 1: room with that many people? Would it's an overwhelming night,

48
00:02:16,084 --> 00:02:21,404
Speaker 1: But I just felt enveloped in love and Soka, I

49
00:02:21,404 --> 00:02:24,244
Speaker 1: know that's your favorite word, Sokua. This is an industry

50
00:02:24,284 --> 00:02:26,444
Speaker 1: I've been part of over forty years, and the people

51
00:02:26,483 --> 00:02:29,003
Speaker 1: there who've known and worked with Harley, people I've worked

52
00:02:29,043 --> 00:02:32,324
Speaker 1: with since my days on Simon towns In's Wonderworld. I

53
00:02:32,603 --> 00:02:35,643
Speaker 1: just felt like it was a giant hug last night

54
00:02:35,964 --> 00:02:39,484
Speaker 1: and it filled the cup. I'm so glad, and in

55
00:02:39,844 --> 00:02:43,404
Speaker 1: memoriam this year, we lost Maggie Tabora, we lost George Nigas,

56
00:02:43,404 --> 00:02:46,284
Speaker 1: we lost Simon Townsend. I was sad that Ian Finlay

57
00:02:46,324 --> 00:02:49,283
Speaker 1: wasn't featured. Everyone has their own favorites that weren't featured.

58
00:02:50,524 --> 00:02:53,803
Speaker 1: But you know, there were huge, real beats throughout the night.

59
00:02:54,324 --> 00:02:57,643
Speaker 1: And when Lisa Miller won for Mustard Dogs, her eyes

60
00:02:57,684 --> 00:03:00,123
Speaker 1: went bang. She's just texted me she's just gone to bed,

61
00:03:00,324 --> 00:03:02,643
Speaker 1: but her eyes have gone bang. And I thought, this

62
00:03:02,844 --> 00:03:06,123
Speaker 1: is the this is the energy this room needs. Bethany, who,

63
00:03:06,524 --> 00:03:08,844
Speaker 1: as I said, neurodivergent, she said she was bullied into

64
00:03:08,964 --> 00:03:10,604
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, and she held my hand

65
00:03:10,603 --> 00:03:12,404
Speaker 1: and she said, and here I am at the logis.

66
00:03:12,483 --> 00:03:14,684
Speaker 1: I said, that's the energy we all need, aren't we

67
00:03:14,844 --> 00:03:17,724
Speaker 1: lucky to be alive, lucky to be working, lucky to

68
00:03:17,724 --> 00:03:21,404
Speaker 1: be to be doing jobs we love. It reminded me

69
00:03:21,483 --> 00:03:23,724
Speaker 1: that for all the food, through and all the whatever,

70
00:03:24,363 --> 00:03:26,404
Speaker 1: that room is filled with human beings who are trying

71
00:03:26,404 --> 00:03:28,564
Speaker 1: to do the right thing. And also, as Lynn McGranger

72
00:03:28,603 --> 00:03:32,283
Speaker 1: said in her speech Free to Wear Television, it employs

73
00:03:32,324 --> 00:03:34,844
Speaker 1: so many people. It makes so many people at home happy.

74
00:03:35,324 --> 00:03:37,204
Speaker 1: It's a great industry to be part of. And I

75
00:03:37,204 --> 00:03:39,003
Speaker 1: was really proud to be there last night.

76
00:03:39,164 --> 00:03:42,444
Speaker 2: Yeah, well not me lately, but still still you did

77
00:03:42,444 --> 00:03:43,083
Speaker 2: a great job.

78
00:03:43,204 --> 00:03:44,444
Speaker 1: Sampagne was hilarious.

79
00:03:44,484 --> 00:03:48,564
Speaker 2: Sam pag but a list don't so.

80
00:03:48,644 --> 00:03:51,124
Speaker 1: This was the show that asked Sam Neil how he

81
00:03:51,164 --> 00:03:54,683
Speaker 1: found so many girlfriends. This was the show that asked

82
00:03:54,724 --> 00:04:00,484
Speaker 1: Anthony Albanezi how many kisses he'd got from his fiance. So, Bethany,

83
00:04:00,684 --> 00:04:04,764
Speaker 1: we are in a room filled with media personalities. Who

84
00:04:04,803 --> 00:04:08,004
Speaker 1: would you like to ask a question of everyone? Sphinked

85
00:04:08,004 --> 00:04:12,444
Speaker 1: as a tightening, asked a little over to you.

86
00:04:12,084 --> 00:04:16,004
Speaker 3: Hatmish do you carry cash?

87
00:04:16,284 --> 00:04:18,524
Speaker 1: And how much did you bring in your wallet for tonight?

88
00:04:19,244 --> 00:04:22,924
Speaker 2: Everyone speaks but dead tired around there. Richard Wilkins, he

89
00:04:22,964 --> 00:04:23,964
Speaker 2: went on, hang on a minute

90
00:04:24,044 --> 00:04:25,804
Speaker 1: He panicked the hell out of himself,
