So we basically over 34 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: ten years, we basically sold them this idea that everywhere 35 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: you look in Australia looks like Bondi Beach and brought 36 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: them over here there were two million of them, which 37 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: is about fifteen percent of the entire Australian population at 38 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,479 Speaker 1: the time, and took their passports away and made them 39 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: work in canneries, the kind of place that you guys 40 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 1: refused to work. 41 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 2: It almost like Bondi. 42 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 3: We were saying earlier that without this migration scheme there 43 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 3: really wouldn't have been a single episode of Countdown because 44 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 3: the BG's Jimmy Barnes, the Young Brother Kylie Minoag's mum 45 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 3: or all ten pound poms. 46 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: Yep, yeah, I mean, let's not forget ACGC, the Young 47 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: the Young Brothers, Master's apprentices. Yeah, you know, the song 48 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: down Under was written by a Scott. We have done nothing. 49 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 1: A Dutchman designed the opera house. What have we done? 50 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: What have we done for ourselves? 51 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 2: I know you're quite right. 52 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 3: Didn't we make the wine cask? I think an Australian 53 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 3: designed the wine pizza. 54 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 5: We make a good pizza. Pizza. 55 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,359 Speaker 1: You've heard it first place, Jones. You just pointed out 56 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: that Australia invented the pizza. 57 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 5: And a sigh he bowls. 58 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 2: You know we got ours either. 59 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 5: The asi he wars that are going on now that 60 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 5: were run by Australians. 61 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 3: But it was a big part of the wide Australian policy, 62 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 3: wasn't it. This was also to try and control the 63 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 3: color of our migration. 64 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 5: It was, indeed. 65 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 1: And it was interesting because you know, a lot of 66 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: the poems that came out, and almost all of them 67 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: was their first experience of being in a minority, and 68 00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 1: they were treated really poorly, Let's be honest. They were 69 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 1: kind of suspected and all of a sudden, you know, 70 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: the colonials had had taken over and taken the upper 71 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,839 Speaker 1: hand and they got out here. But I mean, thank 72 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: god it did happen because it is such a huge 73 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 1: part of the fabric of Australia to this day. You know, 74 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: it wasn't until I started doing this show that I 75 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: realized how many of my friends their parents were actually 76 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: ten pound poonds. I've known in my whole lives and 77 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: my life. I've only had one life. But I've known 78 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: my whole life and had no idea. 79 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 4: Well, you are, you are an actor, so surely would 80 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,799 Speaker 4: have a few lives there. 81 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: I've got a few lives, and I've got a few 82 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: costumes that I've stolen from various costume departments, but no, 83 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: I still only had one actual life, and then that's 84 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: been a fun one. 85 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 3: Speaking of which, what have you stolen from various sets 86 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 3: that you've worked on? 87 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 2: Productions? 88 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: Everything? Well, I started well, I started off. My thieving 89 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: day started in university. I stole toilet paper from university 90 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: because I didn't have any money. But now, look, costumes. 91 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: I hate shopping, so anytime I do a job, it 92 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 1: basically means that I get a whole new bun to 93 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: costumes to wear. 94 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 2: When you play Little Little bo Peepe was a stretch. 95 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 4: It's funny you say that, though, because I met a 96 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 4: guy some years ago and he claimed to have the 97 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 4: motorcycle helmet that with the brake light on the back. 98 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 4: That was Steve, your brother in the castle, that Steve, 99 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 4: And he said, you're in ideas man.

You're basically putting a brakelout on 104 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 1: the back of a helmet, so I would I would test. 105 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: I'm not calling your friend's lives. 106 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,479 Speaker 4: No, it wasn't a friend.
