1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Jersey and Amanda jam.

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 2: Nas the Jonesy de mant of arms for the pub test.

3
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 2: Actor Craig McGlaughlin says he has pulled out of the

4
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 2: Australian Theater production of Cludo following an aggressive backlash from

5
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 2: the theater community.

6
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 3: He said he and the other actors were being bullied

7
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:17,959
Speaker 3: just at the announcement that he was involved in it,

8
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 3: so therefore, in an emotional thing on his Instagram page,

9
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 3: he said he's pulled out.

10
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 2: There was a time a few years ago where it

11
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 2: didn't seem there wasn't a day that Craig wasn't in court.

12
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 3: Well, this is the background to all of that. He

13
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 3: faced allegations of sexual harassment following his time as a

14
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 3: cast member on The Rocky Horror Show. In a court

15
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 3: of law, he was found not guilty. He later launched

16
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 3: defamation proceedings against a variety of media outlets, plus a performer,

17
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 3: Christy will And Brown, who had been in that show

18
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 3: with him. He gave his side of the story the

19
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 3: next day. Eleven women were prepared to come up on

20
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 3: the witness stand and give this out of the story,

21
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 3: and he pulled the pin on that deformation cap.

22
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 2: That's a lot, isn't it?

23
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 3: That is a lot. But he was offered this job

24
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 3: in cludo. He chose not to take that job by

25
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 3: say but saying I have been bullied out of it.

26
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 3: How do you feel, Craig McLaughlin, would you like to

27
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 3: see him back on stage? Does it pass the pub.

28
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,199
Speaker 4: Test most definitely he was cleared. I think quite often

29
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 4: women get into a pack mentality and if he was

30
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 4: so bad, why did they keep going to work?

31
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 5: Definitely?

32
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 4: And I'm going to say.

33
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 5: I think that if he's been found not guilty in

34
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 5: the quart of flow, and that should be it, because

35
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,919
Speaker 5: these charges follow you for the rest of your life

36
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 5: and you cannot get away from him, and it stinks.

37
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 6: A very hard one. I think it's a fifty to

38
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 6: fifty things in the enderdement industry. Fifty percent of the

39
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 6: people are like it and fifty percent of the people

40
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 6: won't like you. What he done was probably inappropriate, but eventually,

41
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 6: you know someone needs redemption. So I think maybe give

42
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 6: him a go. I'm sure he's not going to do

43
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 6: what he's done again and move on.

44
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 5: I don't think he passed the past test because we

45
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 5: don't have to tell a grown man how to act

46
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 5: and why should we go watching reform.

47
00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 6: I think it does pass the pub test that he

48
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 6: go back on stage.

49
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's done the wrong thing.

50
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 2: Bullying's not cool in a workplace, so that's not on.

51
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 6: I believe him.

52
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 5: Giving him a second chance and let him get on

53
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 5: with the show.

54
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 1: Absolutely, go Craig McLachlin. He's done his dues and as

55
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: well the bullying. Get onto the bully. That's not right,

56
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: Lennie mac and I think absolutely.

57
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 2: Thank you for all your calls. I guess if anything

58
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 2: you've in a position of power, just a bit of

59
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 2: self awareness perhaps.

60
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 3: And maybe don't grope women in the workplace.

61
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 2: That self awareness and don't grope women in the workplace.
