1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Jub Mission with Jones and Amanda my.

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 2: Lovely Friendly Sales announced last night that she's stepping down

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 2: from ABC's seven thirty We.

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 3: Got Bogart the Lovely Friend business. I feel that she's

5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,039
Speaker 3: my friend as well.

6
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 2: Sure she's everybody's friend. She is an amazing journalist, she

7
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 2: really is, and she's one of the funniest women. She

8
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,159
Speaker 2: has such a wonderful sense of humor in it. She

9
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:25,319
Speaker 2: always takes her job very seriously, and her words last

10
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 2: night at the end of last night's program telling people

11
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 2: that she was stepping down until she'll be there until

12
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 2: the end of the election. So presumably I guess with

13
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 2: June something like that. But the way she told her

14
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 2: beloved audience what she felt her role had been was

15
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:41,639
Speaker 2: just wonderful.

16
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: I hope it's main obvious that I've always approached this

17
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 1: job with one goal, and that is to ask frank

18
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 1: questions of people in power without fear or favor that

19
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: a fair minded, reasonable person with some common sense watching

20
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: at home might like to ask if they were sitting

21
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: in my position. I've tried to shut down Waffler's all

22
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: out bullshit, hold powerful people to account, expose lies in competence,

23
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,119
Speaker 1: and exaggeration in all political parties and on all issues

24
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: and present facts, even when they're unpopular or inconvenient. I

25
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: have truly tried my absolute hardest on behalf of you

26
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: at home to do that every single time I've sat

27
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 1: at the desk.

28
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 2: She's so class, isn't she. And she's been doing that

29
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 2: job for twelve years. The scrutiny she's been under before

30
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 2: that that's right. And she has said, and I can

31
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 2: relate to this, Our job's a bit similar. She said

32
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 2: that it's a marathon and a sprint at the same time,

33
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 2: and that's what I feel our jobs are too. But

34
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 2: she has had that extra scrutiny, and she does this

35
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,199
Speaker 2: four nights a week, so hard. And on a personal note,

36
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: she said, you know it's hard. When she first started

37
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 2: the job, she didn't have kids.

38
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: When I first started, I didn't have children, And now

39
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: I have two boys, age ten and eight, and they've

40
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: only ever known their mom at work four nights a week.

41
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: They want me home with them before thirty pm. And

42
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: I don't think that's too much for two little boys

43
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: to ask. And they're two beautiful little boys too.

44
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 4: He's going to get out and put the taties.

45
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 2: On little things and it's she loves, loves, loves her job,

46
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 2: but she it must that's a hard job, isn't it.

47
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 2: And twelve years of that. Lee's going to stay at

48
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 2: the ABC. She said she's going to take a bit

49
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,959
Speaker 2: of a break, but she'll be leaving after the election coverage.

50
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 2: And I can't wait to see what she does next.

51
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 2: I just rate her so highly.

52
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 3: My favorite Lye sales moment. Remember that time she interviewed

53
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 3: John Lewis. No, don't you remember the time she interviewed

54
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 3: John Lawis. She's remember Alan Jones when he was on

55
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 3: radio he said that comment about Julia Gillard that his

56
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 3: father would have died of shame. And anyway, she interviewed

57
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 3: John Lewis and the interview started off well and Lawsy

58
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 3: was just into it. And then in the end when

59
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 3: it wrapped up, just because Lawsy's sitting in his in

60
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 3: the fortress is a sipping bourb wild turkey, sweetheart. He

61
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 3: was sitting there at the at the Fingerwarf where he

62
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 3: lives and you know, beautiful place and he's talking to Lee,

63
00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 3: and I just love how it wrapped up.

64
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: John Lewis, thank you very much for making time to

65
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: speak to us tonight.

66

Speaker 2: We all loved every minute.

70
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 4: Lee, well done. Does that mean that you might be

71
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 4: the new seven thirty host?

72
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 2: H imagine that? Well, imagine my political questions.

73
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,520
