1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: Jomb mission with Jones and Amanda. 2 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,160 Speaker 2: I thought I'd had my fill of the whole Lindy 3 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:07,760 Speaker 2: Chamberlain thing because we lived through it as kids at 4 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:11,040 Speaker 2: school and everyone talked about it. It was such a 5 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,320 Speaker 2: big thing in this country. This one has been narrated 6 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,279 Speaker 2: by Sam Neil and it probably gave us as I 7 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 2: was watching it, it did give us the saying trial 8 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,639 Speaker 2: by media, because when you look at this documentary, she 9 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 2: was pretty much trial by the media, and in the 10 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 2: eighties there was It was ruled by toxic masculinity back then. 11 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 2: Do you remember in the eighties, if you're read, you 12 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 2: were some sort of puff if you didn't smoke, you 13 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 2: or some sort of puff. That's what it was back 14 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 2: in the eighties. 15 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 3: In Australia, And we didn't question our authorities. No, these 16 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 3: days with social media we question everything. We questioned science. 17 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:50,879 Speaker 3: We think our opinion matters, but then no one questioned it, 18 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 3: like we're looking now at what a travesty that trial was? 19 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 2: That extraordinary well, and also there were no female journalists 20 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 2: back then. It was all men and they didn't listen 21 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 2: to women or minorities or anything like that. The indigenous 22 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 2: people around Uleru at the time said that indeed, a 23 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,680 Speaker 2: dingo could take a baby and probably did do it, 24 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 2: but they weren't listening to Northern Territory police had a 25 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 2: bee in their bonnet and they were made to look 26 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 2: foolish in the coroner's inquest about their handling of the 27 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:25,960 Speaker 2: evidence and the jumpsuit and the matine jacket, which didn't 28 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:27,199 Speaker 2: turn up for some time. 29 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 3: But when we spoke to Ray Martin about this, was 30 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 3: it on Friday, and he said that we chose to 31 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 3: judge her because she seemed unemotional. Yes, there was an 32 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 3: unusual religion involved. We just thought she was other. 33 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 2: Well, the crazy rumors were going around that she was 34 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 2: sacrificed to appease a satan. This is what happened to Azaria. 35 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 2: She was sold to white slave traders, and no one 36 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 2: said anything. Back in those days, no one said anything 37 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 2: about anything like someone would know what happened to us 38 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 2: AERA's body if indeed it just didn't get eaten by 39 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 2: a dingo, which is more likely than anything. But back 40 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 2: to that emotion, there was a bit every time you 41 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 2: saw her on the news, you never saw her being 42 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 2: emotional about his area, and that really stuck in the 43 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 2: crawl of most Australians at the time. But then this 44 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 2: guy explained why you didn't see any emotion from Lindy. 45 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: At the Royal Commission, we were able to get hold 46 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 1: of the full tape recording, including all of the all 47 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: of the takes, and we were able to see the 48 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: process unfold. It began with the journalist saying, missus Chamberlain, 49 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: what happened to your baby? She began to answer and 50 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: choked up in the stress and burst into tears. He said, 51 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: take one and take to start again. This is Chamberlain, 52 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,639 Speaker 1: what happened to your baby. She got a little bit 53 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: further and checked up again, and they said, look, Lindy, 54 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: if you're going to have if you're going to get 55 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: your message out there, you really are going to have 56 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: to control yourself. Now try again, get your emotions under 57 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: control and try answer our questions. And so they persevered. 58 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,639 Speaker 1: What actually went to was take seven. 59 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 2: Take seven, and you never saw you only saw the 60 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 2: sanitized version. 61 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 3: That's how she was judged because we thought she was unemotional. 62 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 3: Imagine being imagine your daughter being killed like that and 63 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 3: then being accused of it, going to prison. It just 64 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 3: was amazing, extraordinary, extraordinary. 65 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 2: Now We question everything the world. 66 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 3: Is it flat, isn't it, isn't it 67 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: With James and Amanda
