1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda's.

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 2: The pup test this morning, the minister being named and

3
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 2: stepping down.

4
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 3: Does it pass the pub test?

5
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:13,319
Speaker 2: Well, look, here's the story. Prime Minister Scott Morrison has

6
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 2: received an anonymous letter alleging the rape of a woman

7
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 2: in the nineteen eighties by a person who is now

8
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 2: a cabinet minister. Wasn't them the cabinet minister, Our prime

9
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 2: minister has said, rejects this allegation. The letter was sent

10
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 2: to several members of Parliament and alleges that this woman

11
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 2: was raped at the age of sixteen. She has passed away.

12
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 2: She took her life two years ago. The woman's friends

13
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 2: and her lawyer have demanded an inquiry. The woman herself wrote,

14
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 2: has written about this, has spoken about this, but didn't

15
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 2: formally file a police complaint a police statement. She was

16
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 2: on the cusp of doing it, pulled back and then

17
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 2: took her own life. So this means that I don't know.

18
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 2: I'm not a legal person. I don't know how that

19
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 2: can be prosecuted. Having said that her friends and lawyer

20
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 2: are demanding an inquiry, the Prime Minister has backed this

21
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 2: Cabinet minister on Monday, saying this has gone to the

22
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 2: Federal Police and they will do what they need to do.

23
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 2: Other people are saying that that's not good enough. We

24
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 2: have a situation where if you are a sportsperson in

25
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 2: this country you are stood aside. You're named and stood

26
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 2: aside during an inquiry. Even if we have people in

27
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 2: corporate life, even in consensual relationships, you were named and

28
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 2: stood down while there's an inquiry. Scott Morrison has quite

29
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 2: rightly said we can't have a situation where the mere

30
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 2: making of an allegation or something published through the media

31
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 2: is grounds for people in the government to be stood down.

32
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: But in other parts of our society that is exactly

33
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 2: what happened.

34
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 4: Loer Greig Welm.

35
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: Look at Jeffrey Rush.

36
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 2: Look at number of footballers exactly the same thing has

37
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 2: happened to them. So what do you think the minister

38
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 2: being named and stepping down.

39
00:01:58,800 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 3: Does it pass the pub teme?

40
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 4: Yes?

41
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 3: Well.

42
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 2: An Adelaide woman left behind a number of emails, letters

43
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 2: and statements describing an alleged rape when she was sixteen

44
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 2: years old by a man who is now a senior

45
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 2: Cabinet minister. The woman's friends and have pender letter alongside

46
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 2: her lawyer demanding an inquiry into this. The woman has

47
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 2: taken her own life. In nineteen twenty nineteen, the Prime

48
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 2: Minister has said we can't have a situation where the

49
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 2: mere making of an allegation and that being published through

50
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 2: the media is grounds for the government to stand down people.

51
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 2: Having said that, in other schools of other lines of life,

52
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 2: for example, if you're a footballer, if you're in the

53
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 2: corporate world, we see it every day. Even in consensual relationships,

54
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 2: people are named and stood aside while there is an inquiry.

55
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 2: So what do you think the minister at the center

56
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 2: of this being named and stepping down penning an inquiry.

57
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 2: Does this pass the pub test?

58
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 3: I think it does without evidence, without having the opportunity

59
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 3: to center people just thought their own appears. Oh they're guilty.

60
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 3: They stood down straight away, a mission of guilty in

61
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 3: people's eyes. And that's not always the case.

62
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: Yes, one hundred percent.

63
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 4: Yes.

64
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: These people have been chosen to represent the public. They

65
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: keep getting themselves into all this trouble and it doesn't

66
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: matter whether it's an allegation or not. Politicians of both

67
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: sides of Parliament need to start getting with the program

68
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: and treating people with humanity and not burying everything.

69
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, Look in Australia, we just let people get away

70
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 4: with this sort of thing all the time. You know,

71
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 4: there's an estimated ninety three percent of rates we get

72
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 4: away with in the country. Nothing's been done about it,

73
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 4: when It'sustralia going to step up and do something about it.

74
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 4: It's just the crime that gets a way too easily

75
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 4: and what we're just going to let him go To

76
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 4: the politicians Australia, they.

77
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: Should be named in shame.

78
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 4: Marathon's bringing a scumback, he's protecting his mate.

79
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: The guy has to be stood down.

80
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 3: It's appalling.

81
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: Their treatment of women will bring them down. It's got

82
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: to stop.

83
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 2: Interesting.

84
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 3: Thank you for all your calls.

85
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda's Nation
