WEBVTT - MINI: MP Georgie Purcell chats about that viral edited 'boob' pic 📷

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:03.400
<v Speaker 1>Now everyone, you might have seen this in the news recently,

0:00:03.480 --> 0:00:07.360
<v Speaker 1>so Victorian MP Georgie Purcell. She has been working, I

0:00:07.360 --> 0:00:09.920
<v Speaker 1>mean she works for lobbying to end duck shooting of Victoria.

0:00:10.080 --> 0:00:12.880
<v Speaker 1>She's an animal activist. But she's made it into the

0:00:12.960 --> 0:00:16.920
<v Speaker 1>news for some very unusual reasons. Now, there was a

0:00:17.000 --> 0:00:20.239
<v Speaker 1>feature on Channel nine which had her in the feature,

0:00:20.239 --> 0:00:21.920
<v Speaker 1>and you know all the good work that she's doing.

0:00:22.520 --> 0:00:27.240
<v Speaker 1>But the thing that spiked Georgie's attention wasn't so much

0:00:27.240 --> 0:00:29.960
<v Speaker 1>the feature. It was the picture that they used of her,

0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:33.640
<v Speaker 1>which had been artificially enhanced or photoshop to say the least.

0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:37.159
<v Speaker 2>Now, it's actually wild when you look at the original.

0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:39.440
<v Speaker 1>Photo versus the photo that was used in this promotion

0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:42.560
<v Speaker 1>side by side, because they've cropped in like a they've

0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:43.840
<v Speaker 1>put her into like a crop top.

0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:47.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they've artificially enhanced her breasts in this as well.

0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:50.120
<v Speaker 1>Channel nine have and Georgia came out and spoke about

0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:51.920
<v Speaker 1>it on her own socials as well. But we actually

0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:54.160
<v Speaker 1>have her on the line because I would love to

0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:56.280
<v Speaker 1>get to the bottom of how this has even happened.

0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:58.760
<v Speaker 3>Hi, Georgie, welcome to the pickup. This is crazy.

0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:00.720
<v Speaker 4>Good day mate, Thanks for me on.

0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:04.319
<v Speaker 2>I was so ausy. Hi, Georgie, how are you well?

0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:08.720
<v Speaker 4>It's been a crazy forty eight hours to say the least.

0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:12.399
<v Speaker 5>Georgie, how do you feel when you look at this

0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:14.800
<v Speaker 5>and you're like, wow, looks like I've been in Bali

0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:15.760
<v Speaker 5>for a while. I've got a bit of a tan,

0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:17.640
<v Speaker 5>got my crop top out, it looks like I've got

0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:20.840
<v Speaker 5>some conjuring on my face. Did you recognize it before

0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:23.240
<v Speaker 5>anyone else or did somebody else send this to you?

0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:27.199
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? I did recognize it straight away for a pretty

0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:30.440
<v Speaker 4>unique reason. My whole stomach is actually tattooed, and I

0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:33.600
<v Speaker 4>definitely don't have jigglebats. So I just pulled up in

0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:37.400
<v Speaker 4>the original and I had a look and I was like, well,

0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:39.960
<v Speaker 4>I'm actually in a dress in the original, not even

0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:42.399
<v Speaker 4>a crop top, because like I do wear crop tops,

0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:45.720
<v Speaker 4>but I certainly wasn't in the image that they used.

0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:48.840
<v Speaker 4>And then that, of course, side by side, I'll also

0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:50.880
<v Speaker 4>noticed that they've given me a boob job as well.

0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:52.960
<v Speaker 4>On top of everything else, They're just like giving you a.

0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:54.120
<v Speaker 2>Bit more volume, haven't they.

0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:55.880
<v Speaker 1>This is wild to me though, because when you look

0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:58.400
<v Speaker 1>at these two images side by side, the left of

0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:00.880
<v Speaker 1>it looks like maybe you've applied married at first sight,

0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:03.840
<v Speaker 1>like it doesn't look like the picture of someone who's

0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:07.120
<v Speaker 1>a member of parliament. And also, I mean the things

0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:09.959
<v Speaker 1>that the articles are saying, they're saying that you've lashed

0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:11.320
<v Speaker 1>out at Channel nine, that you.

0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:12.600
<v Speaker 2>Were furious about this.

0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:14.760
<v Speaker 1>But I was just reading your posts and it said

0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:17.760
<v Speaker 1>I endured a lot yesterday, but having my body and

0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:20.360
<v Speaker 1>outfit photoshop by a media outlet was not on my

0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:23.760
<v Speaker 1>bingo card. Note the enlarged boobs and outfit to be

0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:27.119
<v Speaker 1>made more revealing. Can't imagine this happening to a male MP.

0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:31.840
<v Speaker 1>What gives I wouldn't really call that lashing out, would you?

0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:34.079
<v Speaker 4>No, certainly not. And I think it's a good example

0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:36.799
<v Speaker 4>of the way that female politicians are often portrayed to

0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:41.040
<v Speaker 4>be hysterical and emotional. Totally, I was just highlighting them

0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:44.520
<v Speaker 4>very clear. I guess sexism and misogyny that's right within

0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:47.800
<v Speaker 4>our political systems where we were treated differently, and this

0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:50.440
<v Speaker 4>is just another really bizarre example of it.

0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:52.640
<v Speaker 6>Well, I mean, this is, in a weird way, the

0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:55.679
<v Speaker 6>best promotion ever for n duck shooting in Victoria.

0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:59.280
<v Speaker 3>I mean, do we need to end duck shooting sheds

0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:01.360
<v Speaker 3>the light on that, Georgie. Yeah.

0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:03.320
<v Speaker 4>Look, so the reason that I said I had a

0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:05.880
<v Speaker 4>terrible day at work was that I've actually been really

0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:08.600
<v Speaker 4>working hard on that campaign. I've been on it for

0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:11.960
<v Speaker 4>ten years now as a duck rescuer before I entered Parliament,

0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:13.799
<v Speaker 4>and it was looking like we were going to get there,

0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:16.160
<v Speaker 4>and then the government rejected it, even though they were

0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:19.520
<v Speaker 4>recommended to do so by their own inquiry. And so

0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:21.120
<v Speaker 4>I was watching the wrap up of the day because

0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:24.280
<v Speaker 4>I was doing so much media, and that's when it

0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:26.800
<v Speaker 4>appeared on the news. And you know, of course nine

0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:32.080
<v Speaker 4>have blamed artificially intelligence or photoshop errors for this, but

0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:33.880
<v Speaker 4>I think in the end of the day we need

0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:36.320
<v Speaker 4>to ask why they didn't pick up on it anyway,

0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:39.800
<v Speaker 4>because in the image you'll fee, I'm actually pictured next

0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:42.960
<v Speaker 4>to our female premier here in Victoria, and I'm pretty

0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:44.440
<v Speaker 4>sure that if it spat out a picture of hair

0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:46.120
<v Speaker 4>in a crop top, they would have noticed.

0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:46.520
<v Speaker 2>Georgie.

0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:50.640
<v Speaker 5>It's such rubbish that they are trying to blame this

0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:53.400
<v Speaker 5>on AI, like we didn't know it automatically did that. Ali,

0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:56.000
<v Speaker 5>There is no way that it automatically does that. It

0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:59.400
<v Speaker 5>might automatically like change the different sizing of a picture.

0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:01.640
<v Speaker 5>If it has to, it's something else. But it doesn't

0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:03.800
<v Speaker 5>give you a crop top and contour your face like

0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:05.640
<v Speaker 5>absolutely does not. Has nine?

0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:07.720
<v Speaker 2>Has nine said anything to you?

0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:10.840
<v Speaker 4>Yes, they did reach out to me and apologize, and

0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:15.000
<v Speaker 4>you know, I'm not convinced on the reasoning for it,

0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:17.520
<v Speaker 4>but I have accepted their apology because they have handled

0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:21.520
<v Speaker 4>it sufficiently, sufficiently in every other way in my opinion.

0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:25.000
<v Speaker 4>But something that I wasn't expecting was actually for Adobe

0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:27.599
<v Speaker 4>to then enter the chat and say, your excuse is

0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:31.040
<v Speaker 4>not possible. So they've come out and said wow, right.

0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:33.000
<v Speaker 3>As well as a photoshop have come out.

0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:35.839
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I can only imagine it must be pretty

0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:38.400
<v Speaker 1>disappointed because of what it does is like it almost

0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:41.360
<v Speaker 1>works to discredit you and to like make you look like, oh,

0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:43.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, here's a silly lady. She's wearing a crop

0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:45.400
<v Speaker 1>top and she's you know, like a fighter for the ducks.

0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:48.400
<v Speaker 1>It just really undermines what it is that you've achieved,

0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:51.680
<v Speaker 1>and also it undermines, you know, your intelligence. It makes

0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:53.719
<v Speaker 1>it about something that's completely not what it's about. And

0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:55.400
<v Speaker 1>I think that that's a really crappy thing to have

0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:55.839
<v Speaker 1>to deal with.

0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:58.520
<v Speaker 5>But also, a crop top doesn't change your intelligence. Like

0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:01.440
<v Speaker 5>it's twenty twenty four. When are we going to realize.

0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:03.320
<v Speaker 4>That that's absolutely right. I'm sort of known for being

0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:06.279
<v Speaker 4>a different politician. I'm pushing boundaries because I want to

0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:10.040
<v Speaker 4>make politics more accessible and visible for young people because

0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:13.000
<v Speaker 4>they don't see ourselves in our political systems. But that

0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:16.640
<v Speaker 4>doesn't give media outlets of right to alter my body

0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:18.040
<v Speaker 4>when I don't consent to it.

0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:21.200
<v Speaker 3>And you know what, I'm looking at this photo channel

0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:21.760
<v Speaker 3>and I'm put up.

0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:24.480
<v Speaker 6>There's ducks in the background, and they've actually photoshopped a

0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:26.760
<v Speaker 6>rack on one of these ducks, and that's horrific.

0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:29.920
<v Speaker 3>Looking zoom in one of these ducks. They've given ducks boobs.

0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:31.440
<v Speaker 1>I thought one of them was a plane, and I

0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:34.159
<v Speaker 1>was like, that's really poor photoshops.

0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:34.640
<v Speaker 3>Channel.

0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:38.560
<v Speaker 2>We're just doing the graphic designer.

0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:40.720
<v Speaker 6>Channel nine needs to go well and duck shooting in

0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:43.880
<v Speaker 6>Victoria and lovely to meet your Georgie Purcell.

0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:46.599
<v Speaker 3>Really really sorry this happened to you, but thanks for coming.

0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:48.480
<v Speaker 4>On the pick up, Thanks so much for having me on.

0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:49.560
<v Speaker 2>Thanks Georgie, Thanks for.

0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:51.760
<v Speaker 3>A much story. Isn't that insane?

0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:52.720
<v Speaker 2>Wild?

0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:55.200
<v Speaker 3>All right, let's get out of here if you missed

0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:55.719
<v Speaker 3>any of the show.

0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:58.479
<v Speaker 6>We were talking about Paul mescal I mean Heartthrob, his

0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:00.440
<v Speaker 6>biggest ix have been revealed.

0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:02.560
<v Speaker 2>Smoke Show. Your biggest eggs have been revealed?

0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:05.480
<v Speaker 3>Mitch, Yes true, I'm as sociopath.

0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:07.200
<v Speaker 2>No, I think you are the ick. That's what we

0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:08.480
<v Speaker 2>established off the back of that break.

0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:09.600
<v Speaker 3>Wasn't it on the podcast?

0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:11.920
<v Speaker 6>Do you want to catch up on any of that?

0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:18.640
<v Speaker 2>It was it on the podcast. Okay, you can catch up.

0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:19.320
<v Speaker 1>Love you.

0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:20.280
<v Speaker 2>It's Mitchie bie.

0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:22.760
<v Speaker 3>That makes no sense to anyone there. You have to

0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:25.839
<v Speaker 3>go and listen to podcast. Will have audio guys.

0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:27.520
<v Speaker 2>They'll give you some baby talk as well.

0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:27.720
<v Speaker 1>So
