1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Jersey and Amanda jam Nation.

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:08,479
Speaker 2: Interesting story yesterday on Channel nine. So Australia's youngest MP.

3
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 2: Her name is Georgie Pissel. She's in a Animal just

4
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 2: using the Animal Justice Party. She's thirty one years old.

5
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 2: And there was a story in Victoria about duck hunting,

6
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 2: so she was featured on the news. She put out

7
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 2: a post because what happens is there's an image that

8
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 2: goes with the story. If the newsreader is talking, there'll

9
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 2: be an image beside the story with maybe just a

10
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 2: photograph of the person involved. So there's a picture of

11
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 2: her with some pictures with someone with a gun hunting

12
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 2: some ducks behind her. And she put out a social

13
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 2: post yesterday saying I endured a lot yesterday, but having

14
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 2: my body an outfit photoshop by a media outlet was

15
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 2: not on my bingo card. Note the enlarged boobs and

16
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 2: outfit to be made more revealing. Can't imagine this happening

17
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 2: to a male MP. What gives? And so she's put

18
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 2: up the original image of her photograph. Plus what this technology,

19
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 2: the photoshopping has done, and what it has done is

20
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 2: it's made her breast look larger. They've enhanced the shadow

21
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 2: underneath the breast, and they've turned what is a regular

22
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 2: kind of strapless dress into a crop top and a skirt,

23
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 2: a subtle crop top, though they've added a stomach. They

24
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 2: made it look like she's wearing a crop top.

25
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course yes, but why do it? Why do

26
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: it at all? And Channel nine?

27
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 2: She called out Channel nine on this. This is director

28
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 2: of News in Melbourne who said in a statement, I'd

29
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 2: like to apologize for a graphic error. But they say

30
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 2: the graphics department sourced an online image of her to

31
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 2: use in our story on duck hunting, as is common practice,

32
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 2: the image was resized to fit our specs. During that process,

33
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 2: the automation by photoshop created an image that wasn't consistent

34
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 2: with the original. This doesn't mean our normal standards. We

35
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 2: apologize from what I hear a number of people who

36
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 2: work with this photoshop technol, including Jenna, a digital guru

37
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 2: here journal technology. This stuff doesn't happen on its own,

38
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 2: particularly for the news. You don't just resize an image

39
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 2: and let it do it. This has been humanly altered.

40
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 2: And her point is why why have you done this

41
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 2: to a female politician, the youngest one in our parliament,

42
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 2: who has to fight for authority and to be taken

43
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 2: seriously anyway. And another reason why this image, why this

44
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 2: issue is so close to her heart, is she's had

45
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 2: to fight to be taken seriously because when she was

46
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 2: nineteen years old, a photo of her was leaked as

47
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 2: where she worked as a stripper and as a topless

48
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 2: waitress to make ends meet at university. She also worked

49
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 2: in a call center whatever. So she, as she says here,

50
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 2: she was fearful at that time that her dream of

51
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 2: being a lawyer or a politician would disappear, and as

52
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 2: she said, she had to own it. She stood up

53
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 2: in Parliament and said, here's how I felt when those

54
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 2: images were leaked. She said, we all have a past

55
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 2: and a digital footprint, and for younger politicians it's more

56
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 2: traceable than for the average politician. So she said, after

57
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 2: I shared my story, I felt the weight was lifted

58
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 2: from my shoulders. So ever since then, she's had to

59
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 2: work to gain the self confidence and the respect of

60
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 2: others for her to be our youngest MP and to

61
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 2: have this image. But as you say, it's subtle, it's subtle,

62
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 2: but it's everything. Why all to her image to make

63
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 2: her bosoms look bigger, and to make her dress more sexualized.

64
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: Why do it?

65
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 3: We're talking about this this morning when I came into work,

66
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 3: and it's the classic guy girl di vibe, because the

67
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 3: girls here were all talking about it, and men would

68
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 3: have no problem with that. If I had a picture

69
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 3: of me and I was the duck hunting guy or

70
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 3: the anti duck hunting guy because I couldn't shoot a

71
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 3: little ducky, you.

72
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: Know, I'd be go, oh, you make me look better.

73
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't look like a big fat say get

74
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 3: rid of my gart And you know, look at Trump.

75
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: Trump loves all these.

76
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 2: He had a photo postal he had six fingers praying

77
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 2: at a church.

78
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: You didn't care.

79
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 2: Maybe you're right, But for young women, for all women

80
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 2: to be taken seriously in parliament, for young women to

81
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 2: be taken seriously in parliament, for a woman like Georgie

82
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 2: who's overcome a lot of a lot of stuff to

83
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 2: be taken seriously, this is a big deal.

84
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: But maybe they were just making it more visually appealing. Well, well,

85
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: what I put her in a bikini?

86
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 2: At what point do you stop? Why have to make

87
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,239
Speaker 2: her more visually appealing? This is the point she's saying,

88
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 2: why do you have to make me look more visually appealing?

89
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 2: As I said, Channel nine have apologized and said it

90
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 2: was our technology was automated. Yeah right, but with you know,

91
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 2: a very interesting debate.

92
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 3: To be having, maybe get those graphics that they have

93
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 3: on sbs just boom like you know, that's what we're

94
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 3: going to.

95
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: Go back to.

96
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 2: Is there a serious conversation we can have, You're not.

97
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 2: Let's get their PCO graphics so they have no clothes on.

98
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: What solution sps have clothes on. I'm talking about their graphics.

99
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 3: They don't have the technology the channel see what you mean,

100
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 3: you know, just the basic graphic.

101
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: TV is a visual medium after all.

102
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, but have a picture of her, just put her

103
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 2: picture up.

104
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: Maybe the digital guy I have a word to him,

105
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: say listen. Or the digital girl could be a digital girl.

106
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 2: You never know.

107
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: These are the times that we live.

108
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 2: Why has this decision been made? Though interesting
