1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: Miriam Muggleys is going to be in town this weekend

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: at the Concert Hall on Sunday for a show called

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:10,079
Speaker 1: Oh Miriam. And it's live, of course, and it's a

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: six pm start, which I love, perfect for us, that

5
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: gets me home in time for my bedtime. Miriam Mauglees

6
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: is joining us now, Good morning, Miriam.

7
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 2: Oh well, I don't know it was six o'clock. We

8
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 2: all go to bed early.

9
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: Yes' right. Thank you for thinking of ust to us

10
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: the aged. So Miriam tell us about the live show, Well.

11
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 2: I hope it's live, live and live. It's me and

12
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 2: somebody asking me questions, and there's questions okay, and I

13
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 2: just respond without filter, without fear or favor, with a

14
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 2: lot of F words, a lot of C words, and

15
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 2: a lot of truth open. Everybody will be shocked, disgusted,

16
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 2: offended and probably entertained.

17
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 3: Well, I wouldn't want it any other way.

18
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 4: So you talk about fish and chips a lot there,

19
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 4: shouldn't it?

20
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 3: Awesome?

21
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 2: Word gosh? I will remember that. Miriam.

22
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 4: Do you feel like an honorary Aussie these days because

23
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 4: you've been here a lot.

24
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 2: I don't feel like an honorary Assi. I feel like

25
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 2: exactly I've got the certificate. I got it in person

26
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 2: from Julia Gillar, Saint Julia. I loved her. That gives

27
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 2: you a clue to my politics. There is no no

28
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 2: mystification about that. And no, I'm an Australian and I

29
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 2: love Australia, and I had a very good time in

30
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 2: person when I was there. Recently, I've done a bit

31
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 2: of my series on per and I had a lovely

32
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 2: time with my rallies.

33
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: Probably last time you were here, in fact, and I'm

34
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: so disappointed that I wasn't there. At the same time,

35
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: You've got some bagels around the corner from my place

36
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: at the one and only Well, I think it's the

37
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: one and only proper bagel place because other places just

38
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: do horseshoe rolls.

39
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 3: A bagel is a bagel.

40
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: But what what are your plans for when you're in

41
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: Perth this time?

42
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 2: Well, I don't think I'm going to be with you

43
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 2: for very long, not long enough, and then I've got

44
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 2: to get off somewhere else. Okay, I will at least

45
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 2: get to Western Australia because last time shut us out.

46
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 2: We couldn't get it. Yeah, yeah, I had to wait

47
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 2: a year to come back yeah, but.

48
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 4: You do have to it. You do have to jet around,

49
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 4: Miriam when you're in demand like that. You don't want

50
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 4: to waste the opportunity to see people.

51
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 2: That's absolutely right. I'm interested in the money and the

52
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 2: money is coming in and I will know where the

53
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 2: money is.

54
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: Said John, Now, I'm one with you. Let's not pretend

55
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,959
Speaker 1: the possibly Australian series, as you just mentioned Perth Pleasure

56
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: part this time around.

57
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 3: So where did you get to go with that?

58
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 2: I'm not going to tell you. Oh okay, if I

59
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 2: don't mention the place that you know, people say I'm

60
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 2: not bothering to watch that. I get around, let me

61
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 2: tell you. And I met some very interesting people and

62
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 2: I learned about things that I didn't know and it

63
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 2: was fascinating and I really enjoyed myself.

64
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 4: Marry mind no a question from a me and muggle here.

65
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 4: I know there's a very strong connection you have with

66
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 4: the Harry Potter Harry Potter fans and the series and that,

67
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 4: but apparently you've upset a few of them. Is there's

68
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 4: something that you've said recently that stirred the pot amongst

69
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 4: the Potters.

70
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 2: I know, I do love upsetting people because if you

71
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 2: upset people, it means you they've actually heard, moved theming

72
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 2: was going on these days that people don't listen. I

73
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 2: certainly meant what I said, which is that Harry Potter

74
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 2: was a wonderful series of films and books for children. Yes,

75
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 2: but if you're still living with Harry Potter when you're

76
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 2: over fifteen, something has gone terribly wrong. And I hold

77
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 2: to that. I don't, I don't. I stand by what

78
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 2: I say, that is the truth.

79
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 3: I do.

80
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 2: These cameos, you know, these people writing them. You get

81
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 2: paid for saying happy birthday and happy wedding, and family

82
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 2: me and said we're having a Harry Potter wedding. Oh dear,

83
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 2: oh dear. This does not bode well for that night.

84
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 4: So if people play quit retirement times, that's a problem.

85
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm worried about it. So I just want people

86
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 2: to read grown up books as well.

87
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 3: I totally agree.

88
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: And I think the fact that they're enraged that you

89
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: said they need to grow up shows they need to

90
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: grow up, because.

91
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't mean that they should stop imagining.

92
00:04:55,520 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 5: No imagination should have been stimulated to go do other things,

93
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 5: just stay where they were.

94
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 2: We should be moving.

95
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: On you're adding to it. You're not replacing one with another.

96
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: You're just adding to the you know the world of what.

97
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 2: You were in.

98
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 4: And you don't want to kill fantasy. I might not

99
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 4: do it every time I bought a Loto ticket, but

100
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 4: you've got to there were some things you can move

101
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 4: on with.

102
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 2: Fantasy and imagination are very important things. But I think

103
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 2: that on the whole I'll settle for imagination. Yeah, let

104
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 2: fantasy take care of itself. That fantasy can lead you

105
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 2: into very dangerous territory.

106
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: Well, if you've got a good imagination, And now I

107
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: thank you. I think you answered this question with the

108
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: last question. Is there anything you've ever regretted sharing an

109
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: opinion about?

110
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 2: No, I don't think so. I'm not sure that I

111
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 2: should have told my parents that I was gay. Right.

112
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 2: It was more than they could handle, and they were

113
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 2: very very upset about it. And that's to their in

114
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 2: a sense, they were sailing me rather than the other

115
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 2: way around. But I always tell people who are gay,

116
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 2: be careful who you tell, because it's not about letting

117
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 2: it all out. It's about sharing something that matters to you.

118
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 2: It matters to me that what my sexuality is was

119
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 2: and I think my parents were just not able to

120
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 2: expand to realize that their daughter was a gay woman,

121
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 2: that I would still be happy and a nice person

122
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 2: and have a good life. And it was as if

123
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 2: I told them that I was a not.

124
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 4: That that's very disappointing.

125
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 3: People of the era.

126
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, I guess there is an element of the

127
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: time daddy.

128
00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 2: Was born in eighteen ninety nine from another and I

129
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 2: got saying that I'm of this world, but certainly gay,

130
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 2: and I'm not going to try to be straight just

131
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 2: to please anyone else.

132
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 4: So many loves go through so much trouble, so much

133
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 4: grief in their lives, don't they close.

134
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 2: We're adding to it with the nastiness that we show

135
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 2: each other. You lesbians and transgender people are having a fight,

136
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 2: and the town and the country, it's all life has

137
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 2: got suddenly, rather than nasty.

138
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: I feel like everyone feels like they're missing out if

139
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: they haven't got something to be outraged about. And I

140
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: feel a little bit like that about the whole you

141
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: know who. However, at the Mardi Gras the other week

142
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: about asking the police not to take part, I thought

143
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: that was disappointing in a way. We've gone through a

144
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: lot to, you know, get that relationship to where it was,

145
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: and then I just.

146
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 2: Yes, I want everybody to see the humanity and the

147
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 2: other person. And if we can do that, then we

148
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 2: won't have the wars and the horrors that we have.

149
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 2: It's because you assign a certain groups not to be

150
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 2: human and that's not right.

151
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 4: I'm speaking to people being out right. What do you

152
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 4: think about the so called photo scandal with the princess?

153
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 4: It's just bizarre. We're sitting here trying.

154
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 2: To work out, well, I don't know why everybody's getting

155
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 2: their nickers in a twin. Must be a slow news.

156
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 4: Day, yeahs week?

157
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, well I suppose so. Look, I just saw a

158
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 2: very good photograph of some happy of a happy family

159
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:46,240
