See. 33 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,680 Speaker 2: They were two big stereotypes, would beyond two thousand, and 34 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 2: they stopped just saying it. If we ever had to 35 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 2: do a story where someone was making alcohol or anything, 36 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 2: we'd all say, in the name of science, I'd drink 37 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 2: to that, and the producer said, just stop saying it. 38 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 2: And the other one about oil slicks. We did so 39 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 2: many stories about the technology that would stop pollution, that 40 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 2: would stop the horrors of life as we knew them, 41 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 2: But as I came to see, for commercial interests, for 42 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 2: distribution interests, for a whole lot of reasons, just the 43 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 2: fact that technology exists doesn't mean that that fixes the problem. 44 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 2: We still have oil slicks, We still have all that stuff. 45 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 3: So oil is good. 46 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 2: Then, No, it's just that, for a number of reasons, 47 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 2: there isn't just one way to clear up an oil slick, 48 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,799 Speaker 2: or if there is, it's not always available the technology. 49 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 2: So that's something I really learned through beyond two thousand 50 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 2: is that where everyone thinks science will have the answer 51 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 2: for it. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't, And sometimes 52 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 2: the answer is there, but it doesn't get distributed for 53 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 2: a whole lot of reasons. 54 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 3: I want some answers, and I want them now. 55 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 2: Well, what's your question?

I like that one there that 204 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 3: your contemplating one. I think that's good. 205 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: I've got this together because I think we were out 206 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,199 Speaker 1: on the streets to compare this. We used to do 207 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 1: a thing back then called the Big Ask. 208 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 2: We'd go out we show people my big ask. 209 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,599 Speaker 1: We go out on the street and you know, just 210 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: get comments from Joe public and public say, well, we 211 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: took your picture, your trip ditch. We took a picture 212 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: of this young man who was the youngest Archibald entrant 213 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,559 Speaker 1: and his entry which looks terrible. And then another man 214 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: that had taken a drawn a painting of his lawyer, 215 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:40,079 Speaker 1: a lawyer called Brett Collins. Brett Collins famously represented pedophile 216 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: Dennis Ferguson, so he had a painting he was the 217 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,559 Speaker 1: defender of Dennis Ferguson, a reprehensible human being. And then 218 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: this artist painted a picture of Brett Collins, the lawyer 219 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:55,319 Speaker 1: of Dennis fergus. 220 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 2: What did people say when we showed them all, just. 221 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: Comparing them, what they said, and the poll was that 222 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,439 Speaker 1: they I all like the little keys, the little kids. 223 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 2: Well, the thing is that you know it's by the way. No, 224 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 2: it's interesting etiquette when someone paints you for the archer board, 225 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 2: because you think, am I obliged to buy it? And 226 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 2: my husband's a painter. Yes, So it's hard to buy 227 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 2: other people's paintings in my home. I can see I've 228 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 2: got walls in my home. I think, you know, I'd 229 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 2: love to hang blah blah, but I have to be 230 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 2: careful because Harley's a painter. 231 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 3: But you can't hang a picture of yourself. Noone could 232 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 3: do it. 233 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 2: I was lucky enough to be painted by arn Do. 234 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 2: That one was on my wall for a while because 235 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 2: they gift them to you at the end, and that's 236 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,439 Speaker 2: an incredible thing to be gifted something like that. But 237 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 2: I had it on the wall, and it's like the 238 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 2: eyes follow you around the room like Mussolini. And after 239 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 2: a while I stopped noticing it was there. But other 240 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 2: people are come in the house and and I thought, 241 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 2: how will I look with this giant portrait of myself? 242 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 2: So I've had to put it somewhere else. 243 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 3: It's like you're a dictator of Ecuador. 244 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 2: That's how it That's how it would have been perceived. 245 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 2: If you have your portrait of yourself in your own. 246 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,319 Speaker 3: Home, and I don't think your family needs more eyes 247 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 3: on them from you. 248 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,679 Speaker 2: Probably not because I am always watching. 249 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 3: That's kind of weird, always watching. Back then as well, 250 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 3: we got into dry July. 251 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 2: We took this very seriously. Drive Yourly is a great charity. 252 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 2: This is a charity that raises money for adults who 253 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,839 Speaker 2: were dealing with cancer and a whole lot of stuff. 254 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,079 Speaker 2: And in some of the cancer treatment rooms they weren't 255 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,680 Speaker 2: even TVs for you. You're seeing there for hours having 256 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 2: your chemo. You know they need better facilities. And so 257 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 2: Drive July raises a lot of money for these charities. 258 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 2: And what it meant was not drinking for the month 259 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 2: of July. So, if I remember rightly, we challenged ourselves 260 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 2: to go to places terrible events, terrible events where normally 261 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 2: you'd have to drink to enjoy them or even just 262 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 2: survive them. My memory goes particularly to one where we 263 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 2: went to North Sydney RSL where there was a show 264 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 2: of Eliza Minelli, Sammy Davis and Frank Sinatra tribute show. 265 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 2: Do you remember that yes, I do, and our partners 266 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 2: went trolley. They got completely trolly. As you said at 267 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,599 Speaker 2: the time, the table in front of Helen with the 268 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 2: wine guys has looked like you'd gone out with Oliver Reed. 269 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 2: It was Harlie was drinking beer. It was all happening. 270 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 2: You and I stone cold, sober, and we had to 271 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 2: meet the performers afterwards. 272 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 3: That's right, dried. 273 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 2: Your lie's hard, tried. 274 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 3: Your li is hard. 275 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: That's why we don't do it anymore, because for me 276 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: would drive July. I liked the charity aspect, but really 277 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: my thing was to see if I could go without 278 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,199 Speaker 1: a drink for a month. I was worried that I'd 279 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: gotten to a point in my life where I just drank. 280 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 3: All the time. 281 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 2: So it's kind of an interesting challenge to set yourself. 282 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 2: You do get sponsored, you do raise money, and if 283 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 2: you've got an event you need to go to during 284 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 2: that time and you want the night off, you can 285 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 2: pay to get a voucher so you can have the 286 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:48,559 Speaker 2: night off and have a drink. But you and I 287 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 2: went hardcore. We didn't have a drink for an entire month, and. 288 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: That relationship, that circuit breaker, if you will, about alcohol. 289 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 1: For me, I found at the end of it I 290 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: could go without alcohol. I was worried that I was 291 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: an alcoholic. 292 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 3: It was a real concert. 293 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 1: I just thought, since of age, when I started drinking regularly, 294 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 1: I found that, you know, rarely a weekend would go 295 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 1: where I hadn't had more than the prescribed amount of alcohol. 296 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:21,679 Speaker 3: And that's scary, isn't it when you think about it. 297 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 2: Well, also, I think in those days my kids were little, 298 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 2: and so I'd have a glass of wine at night 299 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 2: because getting through working full time, getting two small kids 300 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 2: to bed, I thought I'd earned a glass of wine. 301 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 2: I now don't drink during the week. I think, by 302 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 2: and large we spoke about this on the radio recently. 303 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 2: Australians are drinking less and they're drinking less alcoholic drinks, 304 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 2: and I think there's been a bit of a shift 305 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,679 Speaker 2: in the culture. But it's interesting that you say, for you, 306 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 2: that shift happened after this. 307 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'd advise it to anyone. If you've never 308 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 3: done dry. 309 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 2: July before, Well, they've got that one feb Fast fast 310 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 2: a lot. 311 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 4: Yeah. 312 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 3: Well they do fab Fast because it's a short month. 313 00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 2: Yes, And by then you're sick of yourself because you know, 314 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 2: right through christmass O sober. 315 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, and there's November, but. 316 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 2: The ones that raise this was a very good fundraiser. 317 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 2: And have we done it again? 318 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 4: We did. 319 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 1: I think we did it twice, but then it just 320 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: did like, come on, come on, what do you want? 321 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: You can't all save the teals, birds or politicians. 322 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 3: Actually I have a I think I might have to 323 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 3: apologize to you because. 324 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 2: It's not called a teal. 325 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 3: I think it's a turn. 326 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 2: It's a turn, you idiot, and you're greenie.
