1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Job mission with Jonesy and Amanda.

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 2: How much do you know about the pioneering Australian women

3
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 2: who dared to change our political system. I know that

4
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 2: that sounds like a dry sentence, but what a fascinating

5
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 2: story it is behind women and our early politicians and

6
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 2: the injustices and the hardships. It's the documentary series by

7
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 2: Annabel Krabb called Misrepresented, and it's going to change. It's

8
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 2: going to show us how our women in parliament have

9
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 2: had to adapt to some very strange things. So that

10
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 2: was a terrible introduction I've done, Annabel.

11
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 1: But hello, we're not going hard to make it not

12
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 1: sound dry, but I mean what we've done is essentially

13
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 1: just interview a bunch of women who were the first

14
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 1: woman to do x Y and z on. Just get

15
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: them to tell us their weird, strange, dirty story, what's

16
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: happened to them in the parliament. And you know, people

17
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: might see the first episode of the show tonight goes

18
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: there at eight o'clock on the ABC and think that

19
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: I'm a bit obsessed with toilets, But I am, because

20
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: you know what, like the first woman who was elected

21
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: to to any parliament in Australia, it was one hundred

22
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: years ago. It was Edith Cowan. She's on the fifty

23
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: dollars note that no one uses anymore. But she there

24
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: wasn't a woman's toilet in the building and so she

25
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: used to have to nip home for the loop oh

26
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,759
Speaker 1: if she was caught short. And you know you think, well, okay,

27
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,559
Speaker 1: nineteen twenty one, fair enough. But I mean we also

28
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: talked to the woman, a woman called Kate Sullivan who

29
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: was elected to the Senate in nineteen seventy four. Guess what,

30
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: no ladies toilet shit. No, I'm not kidding. So that's

31
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: like seventy two years after the Federal Parliament said yeah, okay,

32
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: women can vote and run for parliament. And you know,

33
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 1: Australia was the first country in the world where women

34
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: were allowed to both vote and run for parliament. I mean,

35
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: we did an amazing job in the early years, but

36
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: we didn't actually expect women to run, so we didn't

37
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: put the toilets in the buildings. I know, I've talked

38
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: about toilets too much already.

39
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 2: No, no, I love toilets.

40
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: You've come to the right place.

41
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 2: That's right. But also, female politicians have been told over

42
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 2: the years to change their looks, to change their names.

43
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 2: Tell us the Ross Kelly story.

44
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: Oh well, look Rob Kelly when she was campaigning in

45
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty and she was the first woman to be

46
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,839
Speaker 1: elected to the Lower House from the Act and look

47
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: she was at the time, well she was married to

48
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 1: Paul Kelly at the time, it was a journalist and

49
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: wasn't that keen to be involved in the campaign. So

50
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: she was a woman with no kids and no visible

51
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: husband at her side. She's like, how do I convince

52
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 1: people that I am a respectable woman? Because if you're

53
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: running for parliament, you had to show that you were

54
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: also a very competent housemaker. And she made up a

55
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: cookbook with her friends, which she says is like was

56
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: basically one hundred different things to do with Vince and

57
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: she handed that out as she campaigned to make herself

58
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 1: look more sort of domesticated. And that's I mean, it

59
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,679
Speaker 1: does sound sort of old fashioned, right, but also it's

60
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: not that long since old Julia Gillard was posing, you know,

61
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: for a photo, remember that one in the kitchen. Yeah,

62
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: and she had a bowl next to her that was empty.

63
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 1: And it turned into this huge national kind of you know,

64
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: drama about you know, empty kitchen, empty fruit bowl, like

65
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: it was some sort of reflection on her UK have

66
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: sold somehow. Yeah, yeah, So, I mean, look, I think

67
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: that these things are changing, and certainly it's different now

68
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: from the way it was, you know, thirty years ago,

69
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: forty years ago, but these things still hang around. Actually,

70
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: the same woman who was campaigning for the toilets in

71
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: the Senate, Kate Sullivan, when she got pre selection for

72
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: the Liberal Party in Queensland in the seventies and straight

73
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: away she said that she was told to change her name,

74
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: so she went from Catherine to being Kattie because it

75
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: sounded friendly. And they made her grow her hair because

76
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: it wasn't appropriate for her short hair, and they told

77
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: her to stop wearing knee high boots and to stop

78
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: smoking cigar.

79
00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 2: Those ladylike wow, wow, what about that? And I think

80
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 2: about Amanda Hear at work because you go to the

81
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 2: toilet on a half hour increment and then then you

82
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 2: have to go down to the car park to use

83
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 2: the special challette.

84
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: Not true at whenever we have the big news.

85
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 2: Not true, And you couldn't go all the way home. No,

86
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 2: that's imagine going home to go to the toilet. It's

87
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 2: interesting just looking also with Ash Barty winning Wimbledon and

88
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 2: the moment where her name is put on the winner's board,

89
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 2: and there's Yvonne Goolagong, Cally, it's missus R Cawley and

90
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 2: Chris Evertt is missus J Lloyd. It's extraordinary.

91
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 1: These are the times.

92
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 2: But Annabel, you're bringing it to the foe and we're

93
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 2: going to catch a miss represented on ABC tonight at

94
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 2: eight o'clock.

95
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: Annabel crab thank you, thank you so much. Jonesy and

96
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: Amanda's
