Speaker 1: The first time and O'Connell Breakfast Show, Melbourne's Gold one
Speaker 1: oh four point three.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about the end of the decade because it
Speaker 2: is coming up. We've only got two and a bit
Speaker 2: months left on this year and then it is the
Speaker 2: end of a decade. We have seen off another decade
Speaker 2: and when you think about it, there are so many
Speaker 2: big moments, good and bad. If we're honest about this decade.
Speaker 2: When I start to google it yesterday, some of the
Speaker 2: biggest talking points of the year, some of them made
Speaker 2: you shudder, you know, because you live. If you think
Speaker 2: about the bigger talking points of the last decade, there
Speaker 2: are some themes that are coming up all over the world.
Speaker 2: But what we're doing, then there's that meet Chack and
Speaker 2: Pats each day this week we're going through what we
Speaker 2: think are our personal two or three big moments of
Speaker 2: the last decade. Patsy, it's you this morning. What do
Speaker 2: you want to talk about?
Speaker 3: First of all, for me, definitely the election of our
Speaker 3: first female prime minister in Australia are coming of age
Speaker 3: for us, and it was also a time of great
Speaker 3: political turmoil in our country. But personally, on a personal note,
Speaker 3: I'd just given birth to my daughter. So for me,
Speaker 3: it was like, wow, this is a great example for
Speaker 3: Audrey as she grows up that you know, women can
Speaker 3: be whatever they want to be, they can do whatever
Speaker 3: they want to do. And I think, you know, whether
Speaker 3: you supported labor or not, I think Julia was a
Speaker 3: bit of a trailblazer really for women in the country.
Speaker 3: And one thing that I really loved her for was
Speaker 3: her infamous now misogyny speech in Parliament, which was directed
Speaker 3: at then PM Tony Abbott.
Speaker 2: So I've listened to this. It's that sort of a
Speaker 2: house of cards.
Speaker 4: I will not be lectured about sexism and misogyny by
Speaker 4: this man.
Speaker 5: Debbie wants to know what.
Speaker 4: Misogyny looks like in mod in Australia. And Mary doesn't
Speaker 4: need a motion in the House of Representatives, he needs
Speaker 4: a miro.
Speaker 5: Oh I remember the day that happened in him.
Speaker 2: What a moment in history that must have been. There's
Speaker 2: something still so empowering hearing it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and she was just so passionate watching her deliver
Speaker 3: that speech during question time, and I think it really
Speaker 3: drew a line in the sand that enough is enough
Speaker 3: and that women or women, not only women in public office,
Speaker 3: but deserve a fair go.
Speaker 2: Do you think it's any different now in twenty nineteen, though,
Speaker 2: House progress really been made When you get people like
Speaker 2: just Center ar Don, who's getting grief from rich white men.
Speaker 2: If you're threatened by like Alan Jones threatening her with
Speaker 2: all kind of physical act, which is horrible, I.
Speaker 5: Think you are at an unfair advantage.
Speaker 3: And I think you're always sort of trying to catch
Speaker 3: up and trying to be heard equally. So that for
Speaker 3: me and the connection to my little girl growing up
Speaker 3: and potential for her and breaking.
Speaker 2: The glass the world that she's growing into.
Speaker 3: That was really important for me and I think really
Speaker 3: important for our country as well.
Speaker 2: In this clip as well, who is the idiot guy
Speaker 2: that's trying to help her out? With the punchline that
Speaker 2: she said you go to? He ruins the punchline about
Speaker 2: she sums up what she's doing.
Speaker 6: Haven't listening again, mirror, Yeah, she's got it, idiot, Let
Speaker 6: that talk.
Speaker 4: I will not be lectured about sexism and misogyny.
Speaker 5: By this man. Debbie wants to.
Speaker 4: Know what misogyny looks like in mod not Australia doesn't
Speaker 4: need a motion in the House of Representatives, he needs it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, like mate, it it's like going to a standout
Speaker 6: gig and there's some bumbling in the fright some of
Speaker 6: your punkchlizer even did it again there guys, you hear
Speaker 6: these are ladies they need out.
Speaker 1: The Christian O'Connell Breakfast Show on Gold one oh four
Speaker 1: point three.
Speaker 2: All right, what have you got next time? Brother? Big
Speaker 2: moments then for Patrina Jones of this decade.
Speaker 5: The day Prince died and when the news broke the.
Speaker 7: Day we are coming on the air with breaking news
Speaker 7: about the death of an American music icon. Prince, the innovative,
Speaker 7: one of a kind artists who has given us so
Speaker 7: much great music over the decades, has been found dead
Speaker 7: at his Paisley Park compound in suburban Minneapolis.
Speaker 3: Oh, it was just I can remember. I was coming
Speaker 3: into work at four am and it was just breaking.
Speaker 3: I remember coming into the newsroom and I couldn't believe
Speaker 3: what I was seeing on the on the telly on
Speaker 3: the screens of this break She was so young, he
Speaker 3: was fifty seven, but it was.
Speaker 2: A very reclusive guy. He did his live stuff and
Speaker 2: then he just disappeared into the mansion. Then he didn't
Speaker 2: really see him living that wild of a lifestyle.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 3: It was strange though. Do you remember a week before
Speaker 3: his plane was forced to make an emergency landing, rumors
Speaker 3: controversy around it, and they said he had the flu,
Speaker 3: but obviously he.
Speaker 5: Was unwell then. But I loved his music.
Speaker 2: I love it was a one off. He was a phenom.
Speaker 2: You know, they wanting a generation of more than that talent.
Speaker 2: There's like another worldliness about him.
Speaker 5: It's a freak.
Speaker 3: And I saw him at Melbourne Park in ninety one
Speaker 3: Diamonds and Pearls. Oh wow, at that concert, and he'd
Speaker 3: only played at Melbourne a few weeks before he died
Speaker 3: at the Art Center. Gavin Miller had gone and seen him,
Speaker 3: and I was really angry with myself because I thought, oh,
Speaker 3: I'm too busy, really tired. You know, I can't make
Speaker 3: the time to go. I'll save the money. And now,
Speaker 3: of course it's my greatest regret because.
Speaker 2: You still got to see him live and seeing him
Speaker 2: something else. He was an amazing live performing That's what
Speaker 2: he really came aim alive was in the Lovely He
Speaker 2: did a run for a month that the two. The
Speaker 2: O two is a twenty thousand seat of venue in London,
Speaker 2: right he did thirty one shows every single night. Get
Speaker 2: this as well. He was one of the first artists
Speaker 2: that really sorted out ticket touts. Artists can solve it
Speaker 2: if they really really want to. He set a fixed
Speaker 2: price of saying no more than fifty bucks wherever you
Speaker 2: are in the house. That's twenty thousand people. That's a
Speaker 2: lot of money coming off his bottom line, so therefore
Speaker 2: tells them that they couldn't bump it up higher. There
Speaker 2: was just a standard fee for tickets, and he did
Speaker 2: thirty one shows. I went twice, and it was one
Speaker 2: of the most amazing things I've ever seen. It's just
Speaker 2: that thing of actually seeing someone who's that beyond good.
Speaker 2: Good doesn't even it's not a word. I can't. There
Speaker 2: aren't words in English language to actually describe how great
Speaker 2: it was seeing someone that good. And he did his
Speaker 2: great as hits, but he was doing like long, sort
Speaker 2: of fifteen minute medleys of them and they were amazing.
Speaker 2: And the girls and the backing band with him, everything
Speaker 2: was so tight and drilled and honed, and it was
Speaker 2: just amazing to see. There was a sexiness and a
Speaker 2: potent see about seeing him live. The atmosphere. There's twenty
Speaker 2: thousand people changed. There was like an it was alchemy.
Speaker 2: That's what you were witnessing with Prince.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they'll never be another Prince. That's That's what I'm
Speaker 3: so sad about. He was so so unique and guys's
Speaker 3: prowess in his music. One of the great examples is
Speaker 3: this early demo session of Nothing Compares to You.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't know he wrote this and that's so cool.
Speaker 2: Gave it away to shaneila Connor. Have I listened to this? No,
Speaker 2: they're just releasing lots of his old stuff from the
Speaker 2: vaults because he made.
Speaker 5: So much material. Wasn't there still not out?
Speaker 2: And then they're talking about doing one of these hologram
Speaker 2: tours as well, which I would go and see these
Speaker 2: hologram tours getting better and better. Well said though Perhassly,
Speaker 2: that was the passing of a legend.
Speaker 1: Christian O'Connell Breakfast Show Gold one oh four point three.
Speaker 2: This morning, Patrina Jones has been taking us through some
Speaker 2: of the big moments for her in this decade, because
Speaker 2: we were ending the near of a decade, not just
Speaker 2: the end of twenty nine. Team. We begin next year
Speaker 2: with a new decade, and we're asking our house and
Speaker 2: you what do you think of the big talking points?
Speaker 2: What are they going to be of this decade? What's
Speaker 2: your last one? Perts?
Speaker 3: Well, I think it's got to be Donald Trump, doesn't it?
Speaker 3: Oh God, I still can't believe. Actually, when I'm writing
Speaker 3: news scripts that I'm writing US President Donald Trump, it.
Speaker 2: Just doesn't to me. He's like he's a creation of
Speaker 2: the times. He came out, so it's happened in Britman
Speaker 2: Brexit with Boris Johnson and happening all over the world.
Speaker 2: He's like a modern Frankenstein. Who is he is? He's
Speaker 2: a perfect symbol of what is going on in America
Speaker 2: and other countries.
Speaker 3: Do you think people would have said that when Ronald
Speaker 3: Reagan was elected, like he was a former actor. What
Speaker 3: have they seen a former actor as potentially the leader
Speaker 3: of the free world. It's just, you know, so November
Speaker 3: twenty sixteen, he came to power so much controversy, but
Speaker 3: he got something like fifty six point nine percent of
Speaker 3: the vote. People voted for him, and of course his
Speaker 3: big massive catch cry during his whole Republican campaign was this.
Speaker 2: And we will make America great again. God bless you
Speaker 2: and good night, I love you.
Speaker 5: We just get swept up in it, don't they?
Speaker 2: The entertainment of it and the rebel rousing of the crowd.
Speaker 2: It's an incredible story, isn't it? Though? Donald Trump? How
Speaker 2: he got into power and how he's still there? Do
Speaker 2: you remember when he got in like it won't last,
Speaker 2: he'd be impeached. They tried many, many many many may
Speaker 2: time and who knows what might happen there. But I
Speaker 2: just although it was going to be assassinated within a
Speaker 2: year and stuff like that, he's still there and not
Speaker 2: just that. No matter what he does and what he
Speaker 2: says and insults people various groups, women, minorities, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: I know. How is that?
Speaker 5: I don't think that.
Speaker 2: Would fly anyone who's supposed to be running a country
Speaker 2: the size of America. How have you got time to
Speaker 2: hang out on social media?
Speaker 5: Loves his Twitter account?
Speaker 2: He must have been We need you in this room
Speaker 2: for another briefings. Misspelled there? How do you spelled Korea?
Speaker 5: But how is history going to judge him?
Speaker 3: How is history in ten twenty years it's going to
Speaker 3: look back on?
Speaker 4: Or has he changed the role so completely now that
Speaker 4: I mean, he's pushed the branderies in so many ways
Speaker 4: and shown that you can still stay in power.
Speaker 2: I think he's really changed that role. I always like
Speaker 2: to think that with politics, people are smart and they
Speaker 2: get wise. Even someone they elect to do that they
Speaker 2: thought might do a job and then he didn't. If
Speaker 2: you think about the poor people of America who did
Speaker 2: elect him, and how he's really screwing them over, he's
Speaker 2: not helping them at all, and how politics, hopefully we
Speaker 2: have to believe that people get rinsed out. It's like
Speaker 2: it cleans it south of the political otherwise is so
Speaker 2: so bleak. I know here on bleak FM. Let's hope
Speaker 2: the next year he gets rinsed out the system like
Speaker 2: a dirty old sock.
