1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda in the mornings.

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 2: Let's go to the Jonesy no matter of arms right

3
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 2: now for the pub test, and let's talk about Margaret

4
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 2: Court for a minute.

5
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:10,880
Speaker 3: I don't know how I feel about my.

6
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: Same you know, I thought, I think I'm changing my mind.

7
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:16,920
Speaker 1: Let's discuss what we're discussing in.

8
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:17,600
Speaker 3: The first place.

9
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 1: The fiftieth anniversary of Margaret Court's Grand Slam Bonanza is

10
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: coming up, and Tennis Australia has said that they will

11
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: recognize the accolade, but they won't celebrate it. Margaret caught

12
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,599
Speaker 1: herself is saying, why don't we celebrate it the same

13
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: way we celebrated this Rod Labor accolade.

14
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 3: She's done better in tennis than he did.

15
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 2: But Rod Labor didn't say gays are going to burn

16
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 2: in Hell.

17
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,639
Speaker 1: No, she did not. And this is what we need

18
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: to discuss. Do we celebrate her career as a tennis

19
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: player or do we allow her private thought not private thoughts,

20
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: her public thoughts and her advocacy against same sex marriage, etcetera.

21
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: A number of things. Do we allow that to change

22
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: how we feel about her tennis? I saw a tweet

23
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: yesterday from Andrew Hornery and he has said, let.

24
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 3: Me just open my phone if I may in the room. Brendan.

25
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, he has said, here we go any minute now,

26
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: he said. She, as we all are, has to be

27
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 1: held accountable for her views, which she has volunteered into

28
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: the public domain. No one questions her sporting merits, but

29
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 1: it was her success which gave her the platform which

30
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 1: she chose to spread bigotry and hate not terribly Christians.

31
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 2: And I watched that Battle of the Sex is the

32
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 2: tennis game where she played against Billy Jean King, and

33
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 2: she was terrible back then.

34
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 3: She wasn't just Andy j Aparthei and terrible woman. Does

35
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 3: that matter?

36
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 2: Yes, I think it does. I think if you know,

37
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 2: everyone has their own private opinions about stuff. I've got

38
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 2: many private opinions, but I choose to keep them funnily

39
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 2: enough private. And that's and because really, at the end

40
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 2: of the day, whatever you say about something, whatever prejudices

41
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 2: you have about someone or something, you might meet that

42
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 2: person or you might meet someone from that area, and

43
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 2: you might and you go, I like this person. Well,

44
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 2: I thought the same, And I know gay people in

45
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 2: my church and I like them people. So if that's

46
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 2: the case, Margaret then why aren't you forget about your

47
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 2: religion for a minute think about being a human.

48
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: Well, Greg Baum, who is written in the Herald this morning,

49
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: and like he's kind of swaying me, he says, well,

50
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: what about all that? We don't know the thoughts of

51
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: the others, do the other superheroes who have stadiums named

52
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: after them, sporting heroes with statues everywhere? His point is

53
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: if we knew them, would we think less of them?

54
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: And the fact that her thoughts, she's being honored for

55
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: what she did on the court, not for what she

56
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: says in the pulpit.

57
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 3: They are two.

58
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: Different things, it says, and tamarca jubilee is not to

59
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: endorse her moral stance half a century later, half a

60
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: century later, this is what we're celebrating her tennis.

61
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 2: That's a very different shaped hot potato, and it's.

62
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 1: A tough one today. What do you think celebrating Margaret Court?

63
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: Does it pass the pub test?

64
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:07,959
Speaker 3: Joins the and Amanda in the morning
