Welcome to Bente Vista, episode 49. 49, I'm feeling fine. It's almost 69. That's relatively... That's a sex number. That's a reach, but... Sure. It's 20 off 69.

It's nice to. That's relatively close. Hey look, if somebody asked you, is it closer to 69 or is it closer to a million? What would you say? What would you say? I would say it's closer to 69. That's right. Thank you. And that's why I'm the podcast numbering guy. The guy who's good at numbers. Yep. Listener and friend of the show, Carl, I can actually hear him on the other side of the country grinding his teeth any time that I try on the show to like add two numbers together.

To do like really basic math. I consider myself like functionally, I guess, retarded? Oh, no. Functionally, mathematically are worded. I've just destroyed the podcast. Wow. I'm sorry. Back for literally half a week. This is what Japan does to your brain. Yeah, that's right. Wow, wow. Different culture. As I've, as I've said, it's, it's different when you come back

from living overseas for a long time, you know, can't help but have absorbed their culture, right? That's right, exactly. My goodness. I'm Andrew, I'm here with Theo. Hey, Theo's... So nice to be back in the, in the old hot tub. The big podcast hot tub. The big old hot tub that we all sit in. Yep, I got my arms up on the side. I'm looking relaxed. Lucy's here too, and Theo's bathers are just floating on the surface. I'm making the water. Theo is so clothed. He is in so many layers of clothing.

Theo is in the hot tub and he is wearing a short sleeve shirt over the top of a long sleeve shirt. Over the top of the wet suit. Yeah. Look, you don't want to see my nipples, all right? That's gigantic, like dinner plates. Like dinner plates. My goodness. Oh, folks, there's been some silliness in the news this week. Oh, oh actually, wait, we've got to fill you in on something. Now just to prove Ben wrong in his absence, when he cannot defend himself. Which we seem to do every time that he's not on the show.

Yeah, yep. And we'll continue doing. Yes, we'll never stop. We'll never stop. But yeah, to really prove him wrong when he said that we'd never come back to this topic, which we didn't for ages. And then we did, and we're coming back again, I'm to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to tooen, tooen, tooen, tooen, tooen, tooom, tooom, thoge him, to this topic, which we didn't for ages. And then we did, and we're coming back again. I'm talking of course about, boat watch. Oh no.

You've been, that's just, that's just the very end of the sound. Hold on. Oh, that's better. That's just the very end of it's no good. It's like trying to stifle a sneeze. It was awful. tha. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh.

You don't want just the end. Yep. Anyway, you may remember the tale from a previous episode. I believe it was, I was maybe episode 41? You have won a boat? Sure. That was the title. I can't vouch for the number. I'm gonna say 41. the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. th. th. th. th. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like, t. It's like, t. It's like, t. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It can't vouch for the number. I'm going to say 41. Go back and check and if I am wrong, write it down on a card, put that card in an envelope and just chuck the envelope out of a window. I don't want to hear about it. Anyways, you may remember, I believe it was Mayor of Logan in Brisbane.

It's very specifically not in Brisbane. It is south of Brisbane. Gee, south of Brisbane. If Brisbane is the honest beer gut of Queensland, Logan is definitely the asshole. Hmm. Yeah, obviously you would want to make the distinction of something that was outside of the bustling metropolis of Brisbane. Yes. So Mayor, well I got bad news everybody. Mayor no more, Luke Smith. The man who stood accused by the

Corruption Council of just kind of receiving a boat. Having somebody say to him, hey, how would you like a sweet luxury boat in exchange for a bit of under-the-table business, and apparently, despite his protestation, he said yes. And then sold the boat. Yeah. And then said that the media allegations that he had received a boat were incorrect, but would not deny receiving a boat when directly questioned multiple times on ABC Radio Brisbane. Oh, that was so good. Which I think, um, I honestly think we got the wheels rolling on this with our, partly because of our journalistic reporting, mostly due to our radio play, I believe. Yes, yes, we had a reenactment on that episode. Exciting stuff.

Yeah, and a bunch of other people got fired too, I believe. Yeah, so what happened was they, the Queensland Parliament actually went away and brought in a law, which would result in the automatic Parliament actually went away and brought in a law which would result in the automatic suspension of any councillor facing serious charges, which it turns out is quite a few when you run the numbers, five in total. So Logan Mayor Luke Smith we talked about. We've got Logan Councillor Stacey McIntosh, but not to be outdone. Ipswich Mayor, Andrew Antonioli. Now if the Ipswich is another place not in Brisbane, adjacent to Brisbane, one of the

cheeks if you will. I believe my father was born in Ipswich. And then Dumagy, I'm going to go with Mayor Edrick Walden and Hopefell Mayor Greg McClain. And the list of charges are quite fun. You've got official corruption and perjury, stealing, fraud, misconduct in public office and forgery, and fraud making a second appearance there. Double fraud. So, which is actually quite insane to me.

When I saw ABC News tweet this out, I just sat there gobsmacked. Because I mean Logan and Ipswich are not small places, probably 200,000 people each. So quite significant cities. now apparently mayorless. Mayorless, without mayors. Well, it's terrible time. Oh, man. Oh, mama. Well, that's not the only, it's not the only Queensland political news that we got going this week. Now folks, folks, you may have

heard of a Queensland politician named Jared Blige. I hadn't heard of him before. Really? Never. Oh, may well. Please allow me to give you a little of Jarred's if you would like. Jared was part of the notoriously Shit House Campbell Newman government. Oh, okay. Campbell Newman another mayor. I do believe he was a mayor. He was mayor of Brisbane. Before he got plugged into that role. He was very popular when he was mayor of Brisbane. He was he was. And I think we we talked about like two episodes ago at one point becoming basically the most powerful right-wing figure in Australia just by being mayor of Brisbane because every other liberal or national mayor or premier had been voted out.

Yeah. So, you know, the Liberal Party really seized on this popularity by swooping him up and installing him as Premier of Queensland and he then just took to it with a big old hammer, smashed a bunch of holes in it like a big fucking idiot. Like a true, true, true-handle on the kind of person, Campbell Newman is like, like, like, like, two-like, took to it with a big old hammer, smashed a bunch of holes in it, like a big fucking idiot. If you want to get a handle on the kind of person Campbell Newman is, like two days ago, he tweeted out about being inconvenienced because they shut down a bunch of buses due to, I think, an attempted suicide. So he's one of those people. Oh, okay. Great big morons. You know, big piece of shit.

Big piece of shit. So when he was elected as Premier in 2012, he appointed Jared Blige to cabinet as his attorney general and minister for justice. Dintin. And as Attorney General Blige did a whole bunch of stupid shit, he introduced an amendment that renamed Queensland's civil partnerships for same-sex couples into registered relationships and disallowed state-sanctioned ceremonies. I didn't know any of these. He then subsequently unveiled legislation to ban same-sex couples from having a child through

surrogacy. Oh God. Yep. And then as Attorney General, he also introduced like, oh they introduced a law that said that at like the government or the attorney general's discretion, they could just, at their discretion to arbitrarily increase the sentences of people convicted for like child sex offenses? Holy shit. So they were on that whole like that whole... The real Darren Hinge pathway. Yeah yeah that that real like oh the the judiciary isn't harsh enough on people you know who you know who really

understand sentencing some guy. Sharia law. What did you say? Hmm. Who are we talking about? It was the, yeah it was the crazy liberal guy that we were talking about last week who was like, yeah we need to have like, we need to have punishment put in by a panel of people from the public and no more than 30% of them are allowed to be like the public and no more than 30% of them are allowed to be from like the legal profession. Oh God. Yeah that shit's also ridiculous because if you read studies about that sort of stuff what's interesting about it is that like you ask people from the public.

Hey do you think that judges are too soft on crime and their sentencing and people always go, yeah. And they say, well, what about this guy who did this crime and got eight years? What do you think? And they go, you should have got more. And if you take any of those people. And if you take any of those people, and if you take any show them the evidence and give them the context that any jurors in those cases are given, that the majority of the time those people will say, oh, well the sentence I think that person should have got is and will then nominate a figure that is lower than the one they actually got.

So it's almost like there's a legal system in place for a reason. Mm, crazy. Yeah. Almost like the people handing out sentences should be required to have read a couple of books at some point. So there was that stuff. He also gave us the famous bikeye laws in Queensland. Oh, of course. Yeah, the notorious, the notorious, the notorious, um, what were they called, the notorious. I have no idea who I was dealing with. That's right. The notorious, um, what were they, what were they called? The, the, the, the, associating, the, associating something.

Oh, oh, God, we're all so stupid. Good question. No, that's work in the old way. You can't associate with bikers basically. Yeah, exactly. Well, the, the, the point of the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they their their their their their their their their their their their their the the the the the the the to..o- to-c..o-. too. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. they're they're they're the that's working the old way. You can't associate with bikers basically. Yeah, exactly. Well, the point of the exercise was to say, ah, in order to break up bikey gangs, that we have suddenly inflated to the level of, say, Victoria's, you know, African crime gangs. The Apex gang. Yeah, it was suddenly this whole thing about... Yeah, it was suddenly this whole thing about, yeah, it was suddenly this whole thing of, oh, the states being swamped by biky gangs and they're ruining everybody's lives, people

are afraid to sleep at night. Wouldn't you know it, the only way we can deal with this is broad, deep, sweeping new powers? Yeah, yep, a whole bunch of... As these things go. Yep. And they've resulted in things like making it illegal for someone to have coffee with their friend who like had a conviction from 15 years ago or whatever. It was the kind of stuff that was widely, widely panned by the judiciary, the whole legal

society as being like a massive violation of civil rights. And also like even, I read, I remember at the time I read this hilarious piece in The Guardian, which was not supposed to be hilarious but it was to me where they interviewed people who had been victims of like of bikey gangs right and and the crimes were you know things like maybe some somebody who runs a business having bikies front up and say oh well you can pay us money for protection or we can like wreck your shop or whatever and some other guy who who had his boat stolen, and he was like, what do the police need new laws for? Like, these guys stole my boat, and I knew who they were, and I went to the cops, and

the cop said, yeah, get a new boat. And like, all the people that they talked this shit, and the police aren't doing anything about it now. Like, it was just ridiculous this idea that you would have to introduce new laws to do something about gangs stealing stuff and doing crimes and murdering people. Like, I feel like we've, I feel like there might be a murder law on the books. Anyway, hugely, hugely panned. So Jarably, great big dip shit. And he made even more of a dip shit of himself this week. Oh God, he did. He did. He did on the old toots. He got on Twitter. The little bluebird website. And he decided... Well, first he got on the blower. He got on the hole. Got on the blower. And he thought he would share the events of his time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time of time of time of time of time of time of time of time of his time of his the time the time the time the events of his too time too time too time the events of his the too time the events of his the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the too too too too too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too-s. too-hea. too-hea. too-hea. too-hea. too-hea. too. too. too. Hea. too. Hea. Hea on the horn. He did get on the blower. He got on the blower and he thought he would share the events of his time on the blower with the world. And he went on to Twitter and he typed out this tweet and thought it was a

good idea to send it out to the world. This tweet said, quote, I just phoned my gov, let me pause. Let me pause. their psau- I th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the the. the. the. the. the. the. the. Like social security, it's just a- Yeah, website, you can like, you can put in your tax return, you can access your welfare stuff, all that sort of thing. I just phoned my gov to change my address. After giving my personal details, I was asked, and is it okay to identify you as a male? Now the government is asking born males if they will get offended by calling us males. This political correctness BS has gone way too far. Hashtag Ospole.

Which, like, classic, dumb, confused, conservative shit. I was so mad when someone asked me a question. Someone asked me a question it made me wild with anger. Someone asked me a question that I easily knew the answer to. The answer just said yes. The answer was one syllable of three letters. This is a great imposition to me. Yep. What I love about a lot of the stuff is that like the very strong, the very strong implication that what makes these people in these situations really, really mad is like having to just be aware of other people or having to even think for a second. Having to consider other people. Yeah, showing somebody who's not like exactly like them,

the smallest kindness. Yep, yep. Yeah, this idea that they might have like exactly like them the smallest kindness Yep, yep, yeah this idea that they might have to consider for even the briefest of seconds that they are not just the default option in the world. I also just don't even think this is true. I don't feel like my gov is the most workplace. I just don't think this happened. Maybe it didn't. So... I probably just like are you is, it's the the this this this is the th is the th is th is th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's the th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's thi. It's thi. It's thi. It's thi. It's thi. It's thi. It's thi. Yeah. Yeah. It's thi. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's. Yeah. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's the. It's the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the think this happened. Maybe it didn't. So... I probably just like, are you as a male? Because he's got a weird voice to be fair. Well I wondered as well if like, I wondered as well if, um, yeah, like, I like that he's, that he's mad because he's like now suddenly they're asking, and it just makes me go, well, is this just a new, like, like, like, like, thi'' like, like, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th's, th's, th's, th's, th's, th's, th's, th's, this, this, this, this, this, this, is, is, is this, is it's, this, is this, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, this, is, this, this, this, this, th's, th's, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th's, th's, th's, th's, th's, th's, like, like, like, like, th's, like, like, like, th's, like, th's, like, th's, thi, thi. thi. It's, thi. thi, th're asking and it just makes me go well is this just a new like field that they've identified in their forms and now they just ask it and then they tick that box you know which would be

great I just I don't think we're there yet yeah so this made Jared very upset and he was triggered he was triggered AF. Extremely triggered, wasn't he? So people obviously addressed his concerns for him by calling him a huge fucking idiot all day long. Mm-hmm. People just got on there and really let him know how hugely stupid he sounded. It wasn't even that aggressive, it was just like, do you need a blanket? Are you going to be okay? Yeah. And so we posted a video now keep in mind we all know if there's one thing you can do to prove that something doesn't bother you at all it's to get a professionally shot video made of yourself addressing it. This video would have taken so long it's got edits. this you're going? It's going to get a professionally shot video made of yourself addressing it.

This video would have taken so long. It's got edits. It's got edits. Not only does it have edits, he posted it to Twitter. Not only does it have edits, but it says in it, the full video can be found on my Facebook. And it is, it's a different, it's a longer cut on Facebook. This video has taken him and his team like half a day to make. It's been the whole day. So folks I was checking out this video and and there was a little surprise for me in this video. So let me just play some of this

audio for you now and we'll see if anything jumps out of you okay. Hey folks, political correctness in Australia has gone bonkers. Yesterday I had to phone my guard for some technical assistance and was the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to the the the the to the the the to the the to the the the to to to the to the to the to the the the the to the to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi. th. th. I was th. I was th. I was th. th. I was th. th. I was th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to to te to te te te te te te teeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee to the the the the gone bonkers. Yesterday I had to phone my government for some technical assistance and was asked a question, is it okay if I identify as a male? I was taken it back because I'm like, well, I'm a male. I've always been a male. Why would I even ask the question? Because the government's got all my records anyway.

So I tweeted it out and I did not expect the barrage of complaints and hate because I am standing up the political correctments and saying it's wrong in Australia. So I thought we'll show some of the the love that I received on Twitter yesterday. So this one's from Jenny noise she says sorry we got that wrong. You'll be identified as your correct gender a snibbling man baby from now on. Thanks, Jenny. But I don't get offended by the stuff so it doesn't worry. Yeah, I'm not mad.

Wolfgang Savage, I identify you as a pratt if that helps. It's that's still funny. Lucy Valentine says, did you die? die. I think that's the one you laughed at the most that. It's because it's still funny. He's saying my name. On the Facebook, on the Facebook video he says, I'm sorry Lucy, I'm still alive. So I really appreciated that apology. Oh my goodness, my good. Yeah, the best part of that video by far is him saying,

oh, I'm not upset by this stuff. This stuff doesn't bother me at all. That's why I made a whole video about it. This stuff doesn't offend me. That's why I made a whole video of myself reading all these things. And then he calls him hate tweets. He says that he got all these hate tweets and abuse, where it's just people being like, oh, shit. You're actually fucking. I also really like that, like, and again, when you read that original tweet

in the context that it was provided, it's just him going, oh, I called this thing and they asked me a question I didn't like, and now I got to tell everybody about it and say that it made me feel funny, and people just go shut up, dickhead. And when he posts the video about it, he casts himself in this role of, I am receiving a barrage of hateful, just torrents of hate from the left troll hate brigade. He said like barrage, he says it funny because he's an idiot.

A barrage of hate. He'd dickhate. He says it funny because he's an idiot. A barrage of hate. A barrage. But he says... You make it from the Queensland accent? I am. I am. I am sorry. That's racism. I'm very sorry. How do you say it the... I'm not going to be held to any pronunciation. Especially that one. But yeah, so he, you know, claims that he's received these torrents of abuse. And in his own words he says he says he says he says he says he says he says he says he says he says he says, he says, he says, he says, he says, he says, he says, he says, he says, he says, he says, he says, he says, he says, he says, he says, he says, he says, he says, he says, he says, he says, he says, he says, he says, he says, he says, thi, he says, he says, he says, he says, he th thi, he thi, he thi, he thi, he says, he says, he says, he says, he says, he says, he says, he says, he says, he says, he says, he says, thi th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th thi. He thi, he says, he says, thi, thi, thin thin, thin, thin, thin, the thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks,that he's received these torrents of abuse and in his own words he says, because I'm standing up against political correctness and saying it's, like it's a sentence that doesn't even make sense either, he says, standing up against political correctness and saying it's wrong in Australia. It doesn't even really function as a sentence, but...

And then he brings up the Ozzy Larican spirit. My God. Which is apparently not what all these people calling him a dickhead is. Well yeah, again, it's just this whole disjointed thing of, like, you know, maybe if he made some kind of Rodney rude type joke about trans people or something in the course of twice twice. Just go for it. Well like at at least at least then you could attempt to defend it in some sort of context of oh just having a laugh hey I'm just having a laugh and you're trying to

send to me and BPC and all this sort of shit. The whole thing was him bringing this thing up and going, oh, it's... Someone asked me a question and it upset me. And everybody who says, you're a big dickhead. And he's like, you're a huge baby. Being censored. And at no point, like he literally asks the question. Um, like, um, I'm a man. I'm being being being being being being being being being being being being being being being being being being being being being being being being being being being being being being being being being being being being being being being being being being being being being being being being being being to. I'm being. I'm being. I'm being. I'm. I'm. It's to. It's to. It's, it. It's, it. It's, it's, it's, it. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it. It's, it. It's, it. It's, it. It's, it. It's, it. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It's. It. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's a the. It's, it's, the. It's, the. It's, the. It's, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,, like, I'm a man of being a man my whole life, why would I need to be asked this question, right? But he asks it in an entirely rhetorical way. Yeah. Like, you can't spend half a second turning that around on yourself and going, why am I being asked this question? They can't imagine something outside of their experience, like even that one step where they're being like led to water,

they will not drink. Hmm. Does he not perhaps realize that there are people who, at the start of their life, were identified as males? And then at some later on point in their life they are no longer identifying as a man. He can't. Either way I appreciate him amplifying the voices of women. That's true. True respect. True respect. Friend of the show Jared. Yep. It's been a big week for state politicians saying fucking idiotic stuff.

Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Next up on the slate, we've got notorious shit heel, labor, labor leader, I guess. No, wait, is he the opposition? No, you're talking about Albert? No, I'm talking about bloody, bloody Luke Foley. Oh.

He's the opposition leader in New South Wales, isn't. Okay. Against the very difficult to spell Gladys Berrigilian. Mm-hmm. What a name. Now, folks, this might confuse you because the Liberal Party, currently in New South Wales are the conservatives. And the Liberal Party currently in New South Wales are the Conservatives and the Labour Party is the the levely the left-wing party.

In theory in a broad broad historical context. How long till that stops being true? Let me read to you... Well you by now. Well, you'd hope so. And this guy isn't doing them any favors, right? So leader of the New South Wales Labour Party and current opposition, he had himself a sweet little headline in the Daily Telegraph, in a massive, massive, 8,000-point, bold black copy. Let me read you this headline. Stop white flight. Labor leader says Syrian and Iraqi refugees are swamping suburbs.

Woo! That is... Let's turn back the clock. Some old school racism. Yeah, some real 90s racism. Retro. Yeah, it's very bad. It's very bad. My fluripants with the triangles on. What were the shirts that change color with the temperature?

Oh yes. Hypercolor. Yeah, they worked once and then you washed them and that was it. Yep, and I'm cracking open the old crypto-racist job. Yeah, it's an extremely bad take from Luke Foley, who basically, he sort of, you doubled down on the whole thing. And, like, the problem, part of the problem was that, you know, you tryed to to to to to defend to defend to defend to defend to defend to defend to defend to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to the the the the to the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, theme, and that's that's that, and that's that's that's that's that's that's that's, and that's, and that's, and that's, and that's, and the, and the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, threate, threate, try, try, try, try, trye, trye, trye, trye, trye, trye, trye, trye, trye, theateate, threate like the problem part of the problem was that you know he tried to defend it as not being about race but he's specifically referred to Anglo families yeah let me let me read you the

quote from the Daily Telegraph Labour leader Luke Foley says a quote white flight is occurring across Western Sydney with quote many Anglo families forced to move out of quote forgotten suburbs struggling to cope with the quote huge burden of migration. Oh good. Oh boy good grief. There is no good way to take that one. Nope. Yikes, uh... Wowy.

So, so look, it's bad. It's bad folks. Just in case, you know, you're not familiar with the term. Oh, I'll hit you with a bit of the old, the wiki. White flight, it's a term that originated in the US, starting the 50s and 60s and applied to the large scale migration of people of various European ancestries from racially mixed urban regions to more racially homogenous suburban or ex-urban regions. Migration of middle-class white populations was observed during the civil rights movement, the 50s and 60s out of cities such as, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to to to the to the th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tha. White, tha. White, thea, the tha. White, tha. White, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, I I I I I I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I was, I, I was, I was, I'm toge. I'm t toge. I've, t toge. I've, t toge.aue.a.a. And, t t t thea.a.a.a. And, t t t t t t t movement, the 50s and 60s, out of cities such as Cleveland, Detroit, Kansas City and Oakland, although racial segregation of public schools has ended there long

before the US Supreme Court's decision, Brown versus Board of Education in 1954 areas. In the 1970s, attempts to achieve efectivity segregation by means of forced busing in some areas, led to more families moving out of former areas. More generally, some historians suggested that white flight occurred in response to population pressures both from the large migration of blacks from the rural south, northern cities in the great migration, and the waves of new immigrants from southern and eastern Europe. And I really like this dissenting opinion here. However, some historians have challenged the phrase white flight as a misnomer whose you should be reconsidered.

In her study of Westside Chicago during the post-war era, historian Amanda Seligman argues that the phrase misleadingly suggests that whites immediately departed when blacks moved into the neighborhood, when in fact many whites defended their space with violence, intimidation or legal tactics. I like that that's the, well they didn't, they didn't just, they didn't just fly off, you know. They did some fucked up stuff first. So with that context in mind it's good to know that he defended the language, saying it's an academic term. Uh, saying it's an academic term. Uh, ha ha ha. Quo Quote, it's an identifiable phenomenon in many western cities that reflect the changing

cultural mix of many suburbs, he told ABC Radio on Thursday when defending his comments. This is a class issue more than a race issue. And quote. I'm wondering if somebody, you know, some advisor, perhaps pulled him to the side and said, oh my god, you fucking moron. They said, shut the fuck up, dude. Yeah, but this is doing, so he shed his pants, right? And then by like taking this further to link it to class, he's had his pants fall down

around his ankles and then he's tripped over, right? Because he's now tangling up class and race, quite like revealing what he thinks of the class of people that are coming in, right? Like, the white people are of a higher caste, right? Like, why would you start with white flight if you wanted to make an academic point about class? Like, like, like, why would you, why would you start with white flight if you wanted to make an academic point about class unless it was to be super racist unintentionally?

Well like in the initial thing you know every one of those little pull quotes you know the huge burden of migration swamped, like, all that sort of shit. It's all the, it's the language we know and love. It's all the most dog whistle shit. Like, um, I saw somebody on Twitter, I can't remember who say, like, um, man, you know, you're having a bad day when you like, when you fuck up, like, when you manage to not get a gain from doing racist politics and Australia but but yeah like I'm wondering if

somebody pulled him aside and sternly stage whispered to him you fucking morons Sydney is like two-thirds first or second generationgeneration migrant, you massive, massive dickhead. You'll be shocked to know that he wound up apologizing. In a statement released after question time, Mr. Foley apologized in one of our favorite types of apologies. Are you ready for a good, for a good old-fashioned super-political? Is it a sorry butt? Oh, whoo, ready. Here we go. Quote, in the course of a 30-minute interview yesterday, I used the phrase, white flight, he said. That phrase is offensive to many. I apologize and will not use that phrase again. My priority is campaigning

for better schools and tapes and more good jobs for all the people and communities of Sydney's West. As long as they're English action. Yeah, I love, um, I love like that, yeah, what he's, what he said is like, there's too many migrants coming in, there's too many migrants coming in, there's too many refugees coming in, they're fucking it up for everybody else, all the white people are running away as they should because it's a big burden on them and everyone's like, whoa, you fucking piece of shit and he's like, ooh, I agree, that phrase can be interpreted to be bad. So if I'm not using that phrase then everything I'm saying is fine. Yeah the phrase the phrase the phrase the phrase the phrase the phrase the phrase the phrase the phrase the phrase the phrase the phrase the phrase the phrase the phrase the phrase the phrase the phrase the phrase that that phrase that phrase the phrase that phrase that phrase that phrase that phrase phrase phrase phrase phrase phrase phrase phrase that phrase phrase that phrase that phrase the phrase. I'm not that phrase that phrase. I that phrase. I'm that phrase. I'm that phrase. that phrase. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm that phrase phrase phrase phrase phrase phrase phrase. I'm not that phrase. I'm not that phrase. I'm not that phrase. I'm not that phrase. I'm not that phrase. I'm not that phrase. I'm not that phrase. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. that. the phrase. the phrase. the phrase. the phrase. th. the phrase. th. th. the th. th. th. that. the th. th. the phrase phrase phrase phrase phrase phrase phrase phrase phrase. the phrase. the phrase. th. th using that phrase, then everything I'm saying is fine. Yeah, the phrase that I used to perfectly sum up my hugely racist opinion.

Some people may have a problem with, also it's very telling that the place that he, the ostensibly left-wing party member could get his opinion published in huge, like he said, like 96 point font, is the Daily Telegraph. Yep. Oddly enough. It's the prime non-racist paper. If I was going to pick a non-racist paper, it would be the Daily Telegraph. Yep, yep. Now, yeah, it's, it's not been a great look. Now you know things are going well for you politically as the leader of the not right-wing party,

when one nation leader Pauline Hansen comes out and praises you for your comments. Oh God. Fantastic, fantastic stuff. So, Lucy, you'll see that I've sent to you. Yes, what is it? The section of this transcript that of of course, of course we're going to need you to do your best. This is a Pauline Hanson quote.

Well, great news. Great news, I'm very sick and I can't talk properly. All the better. All the better. You'll get that nice wavering quality. I'm very shaky in my chair so this is just perfect. Excellent, excellent. Well I did have... Well yes, this is in praise of Luke Foley for his white flight comments. Oh. So, um, here's, folks, close your eyes. I know, I know you're just listening to audio, but it helps, it helps close your eyes. I know I have a beautiful timber of my voice,

but just suspend the leave. If you're on the toilet, turn the light off to establish the mood. If you're jacking off, turn the lights off. Think about Pauline. Or if the lights are off, turn the lights on. Whatever works to get you into the zone. Look at a big picture of Pauline Hanson. And imagine these words coming out of her mouth. I've been saying this.

And I said it 20 years ago. There would be places that we won't even recognize as being Australian. I said they're forming ghettos, and that's exactly what's happening. And people are starting to talk about it. Yes, they are. People are forced out of their homes that they grew up in because they are not assimilating. We don't put restrictions on that they must speak English, they must assimilate into our society. Respect our laws and our culture. Good on Luke Foley because it needs to be debated."

End quote. You really got that good quality of sounding like she's just about to cry. Yeah it's good. She always sounds like she's just about to cry. She does, I think she really is actually every day. It's because she's just constantly confused about where she's at. She doesn't know what she's doing. Yep. So like I said, never, never great when Pauline's out there saying, good job, on your views. Of course, the views from within his own party, not great. Sydney Morning Herald had a piece which said, Foley is a seasoned political operator.

One of his own was quick to point that out and suggested that the hopeful premier knew exactly what he was doing in his dog-whistling politics. Another senior labor front bencher said there was no doubt that Foley's MPs were quote shocked, angry and genuinely disappointed, while another described it as a quote monumental misstep, misstep. What an ironic word to get wrong. There's no doubt this will hurt in the short term, but this was his first real mistake as leader, end quote.

And I take issue with that quote. The idea that this was Luke Foley's first real mistake, because number one, holy fuck is this dude unlikable. He's extremely unlikable, as far as I can tell, he has never done anything positive. He has some of his greatest hits in fact. He opposed the ban on Greyhound racing. The only thing of worth that Mike Baird attempted to do. The only good thing that Mike Baird did. While he was premier. And let me just hit you with a little a little snippet from a piece around when this was happening. So the premiere of New South Wales at the time, Mike Baird, announced that they were going to ban Greyhound racing because of a report that came out on ABC show Four Corners, which really started to expose the depth of animal abuse happening in that industry in New South

Wales. As I said at the time, it's stunning to me that we're supposed that we that we that we that we that we're that we're that we're that we're that we're that we're that that th. th. th. th. th. to just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just. th. th. th. th. th. th. to to thi the the, the, the, th, Mike th, Mike th, Mike th, Mike th, Mike that we're th, Mike th, Mike th, Mike th, Mike th, Mike th, Mike th, Mike the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the, the, the, the, the, the, the. the an the an the an the an thean thean thean thean thean thean that industry in New South Wales. As I said at the time, it's fucking stunning to me that we're supposed to have these regulatory bodies about this sort of stuff. And they're just like, well, no evidence for any of this. And it's like, well, these guys managed to just take a TV crew and go just cruise around for four weeks and got enough evidence to just shut this whole fucking industry down. Anyway, so there was a piece that I found about a little controversy of Luke Foley posing in a photo with somebody at a protest. Oh good. More than 50 Greyhound trainers, this is from ABC News by the way. More than 50 Greyhound trainers have been caught drugging their dogs since an inquiry into

the industry was appointed in May 2015, including a woman who posed the opposition the opposition the opposition the opposition the opposition the opposition the opposition the opposition the opposition the opposition their their their their, th.. their thoed, tho. tho. tho, tho, tho, th. So, th. So, so, so, so, so, so, tho, tho, so, so, so, so, so, so, soo, soo, soo, soo, soo, soo, soo, soo, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, th.. I, th. I, th. I, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, thi, thi, thi, thee, thi, thee, thi.ea.ea.ea, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, their dogs since an inquiry into the industry was appointed in May 2015, including a woman who posed with the opposition leader Luke Foley at a rally against the ban on sport. Goldman trainer Kim Mulreen stood beside Mr. Foley to protest the ban on Greyhound racing in August, a month after she was suspended from racing greyhounds because one of her dogs to cobalt. Which is like a performance enhancing drug for dogs and race horses. Mrs. Mulreen was suspended for 14 weeks in July last year over the positive drug test in November 2015. Offenders also included Michael

Clayton, who complained to SVS that all trainers had been tard with the same brush as the live baiters. Again if you're an international listener, live baiting is the practice of using live rabbits to teach your greyhounds to run after them and then you let the greyhounds savage the live animals. Yeah we're not the ones that let the greyhounds eat the rabbits we're just the ones that drug them constantly and shoot them in the head when they trip. Yes, yes, well... With a huge gun.

Just check out this quote about Michael Clayton. Michael Clayton who complained to SPS that all trainers had been tar but the same brush as the live baiters. Quote, I don't have to reform, I don't do anything wrong, he said. And that's the same for many people in this sport. End quote. Mr. Clayton pleaded guilty in September to racing a dog under the influence of Meloxicam and fine $1,500. It was his second drug offense. Oh God.

Great company. And this is the same. It's weird how these cretins appear like in every level of the labor party. Because they share, I reckon, the same blood of the labor party because they share I reckon the same blood of the people who worry about the pokey operators going out of business if you ever if you ever so much a glance at a pokey machine in a legislative sense. Yeah yeah same thing. What about all the people who shoot dogs? What are they going to do for money?

Luke Foley also promised to abolish the Safe Schools program if he became New South Wales Premier. And here's a little piece for you and you'll find out, I'm bearing the lead here, you'll find out at the end of this, where this quote is from. The controversial Safe Schools Program will never return to New South Wales under a Labour government. New South Wales opposition leader Luke Foley has vowed, labeling the anti-bullying program, quote, gone for good. The labor leader vowed to ensure it never resurfaced if he was elected New South Wales Premier. Quote, I want to be clear, the safe schools program will not return, he told Miranda Divine on her new online radio show Miranda Live. Oh God.

So, look folks, if uh, if the people who find themselves aligning themselves most closely to you politically are people who drug and shoot dogs and Pauline Hansen and Miranda Devine, you kind of fuck it up. You're pretty bad at everything, you're very unlikable, you take the wrong position on every issue that comes up, lookfolly, retire bitch. I thought you were going to go out, you are the weakest link there for a second. Oh, I feel like that's pretty retro. Because well, we're in the 90s.

We are in the 90s. Are we in the 90s? What I would say is Fooq Lolli. Fook lolly. That's just my opinion. Yeah, no, that's good. It's solid. It's solid. Because it sounds a bit like like... Well, it sounds a bit like fuck. It sounds a bit like fuck and a bit like lull. So... It does. It's solid. It's very solid. And with that, it's time to move on to one of our most treasured segments. You know what I'm talking about folks? It is in fact time for paging Dr. Lucy. Oh no, I'm so unprepared. The doctor's in the house. I'm so unprepared. Oh did you not even get a thing. I've got a thing. I've got one. Do you have a thing? Do you have a thing? Do you have a thing? Well I have, I have... I inventedthe house. I'm so unprepared. Oh did you not even get a thing? I've got one. Do you have a thing? Well I invented a game. Yes. All right folks, if you're not familiar

with this segment, Paging Dr. Lucy is one in which we dive into Reddit's relationship subreddit and we pull up a couple of requests for assistance on a doomed relationship and we comment on it knowing that that person will never receive the advice. 95% of the time the advice is to break up with the dead shit that you're writing the thing about. Now, one of the things that we've commented on repeatedly when doing this is at any time that the people writing the post are like 16 to 19 years old it's always the the dumbest shit and they should absolutely

Break off the relationship because for God's sake you got your whole life head here So um I invented a little game and that is where you search the relationship sub reddit by 19 M by looking for 19 M which will get you all the results? the results the involvement of 19. It's good. It is. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is the.

That's genius. And so let me hit you if I can hit me, hit me. I'm just giving your headlines here right? Yeah. Just so we can uncover the nature of the 19-year-old male. 19-year-old male, my girlfriend of three weeks is talking about marriage and saying, I love you. My 19-year-old male friend says, I'm too old to go to university. Am I overreacting by feeling annoyed?

The person who wrote that post was 20, by the way. Oh, God. You're having 20 and having your 19-year-old. Oh, you too. Fuck off, man. Fuck off. My friend's 19-year-old male boyfriend tried to take a Snapchat of her, making fun of her when she was being sick. Oh God.

My 19-year-old male boyfriend did something incredibly mean to another woman. These are incredible. 19 year old male, my new girlfriend looks exactly like my ex. My ex has noticed this. Dumped my boyfriend, 19 year old male, because he made a rude comment about a huge scar on my 16-year-old brother's face. Oh God. Hmm.

Why is people all pieces of shit? I don't... Because the 19-year-old male. Yeah, I really like this one, though. 19-year-old male. My 22-year-old female friend of two years started a rumor that we had sex with each other and convinced our friend group to pressure me into dating her. I'm questioning our friendship now. Wow. What? Well so who keeps track of how long you've been friends with someone? Very weird. I just like that it's only... That's a good flip around of like, you know all the

ones where it's someone like, my abusive boyfriend calls me an ugly fat slut every single day on the hour. He has his watch set and every time it yells at me. Am I in the wrong? Am I wrong for feeling weird about this? I found out my 19 year old male boyfriend's surprise present to me is to take me skydiving, but I have a crippling lifelong fear of heights. What do I do?

Oh God. And of course, my 19-year-old-old brother brother brother brother brother brother brother brother brother brother brother brother brother brother brother brother brother brother brother brother brother brother the old their old their old boy their boy th But I have a crippling lifelong fear of heights. What do I do? Oh God. And of course, my 19-year-old male brother-in-law stole my panties. Oh, no, boy. Oh, dear. Oh, dear. Well, they're not really related. Actually, there was another one, which was, um, which I thought was funny and then I read too much of it. I was like, now I'm just bummed out.

Give us. And it was a 16-year-old girl saying, my 19-year-old male stepbrother, who is like an amazing artist and people will like pay $150 to commission sketches of themselves and everything. I found a notebook of his and he had been drawing me. And the entire book was just like, the thi thuuuuuuuuuuu- like, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, I thi, now, now, now, now, I thi, now, I'm just, now, I'm just, now, I'm just, now, I'm just, now, I'm just, now, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I'm th th th th th thi, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the the the the like sketches of themselves and everything. I found a notebook of his and he had been drawing me and The entire book was just full of drawings of me of like my head and my head of my shoulders and Me in my underwear and me naked and me in sexual poses and they're all like frighteningly anatomically correct. Oh God. Which was fucked up enough as it is. But then it got too far down into like people saying,

oh why don't you, why don't you show your mom or your step-mom or and like every person in a family doesn't care about her and it was very sad. So yeah, 19 year old males, keep it up. Yeah, keep it up. We need more content. Yeah, well represented on Reddit apparently. Because everything I've been looking at is just really depressing. Yep. It's not funny at all. Well, did you pick one for us in the end? There was nothing good. The funniest one I found is, could sperm have come out of the base of my condom, 18-year-old male? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the, the, th, the, th, th, th, th, th, th, the, th, they, they, keep they, keep they, keep they, keep it th, keep they, keep the th, keep the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th, keep the, keep th, keep th, keep th, keep th, keep th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the, the, the, the-19, theeeeeeean, theeean, thean, theee-19, the-y. 19-19, the, th in the end? There was nothing good. The funniest one I found is, could sperm have come out of the base of my condom, 18-year-old male?

What are the chances of pregnancy? How long did you leave that thing on afterwards? What's going on? It's basically just like he saw some white stuff at the base of the condom. And he's like, that's my jeez right there. Is she pregnant? I bet it wasn't his truth. And everyone's like, it's not your jizz buddy. Don't worry about it. There are other things. There are other fluids involved.

Yeah, it's fine. Calm down. Just chill out. Just chill out. Oh. Remember just having to use condoms. what a dick did. Wow. Yep, that was a better day. Sure, remember. Oh, remember having to use condoms.

Buh. Tell me what, if I ever get divorced, I am just shooting myself immediately, because no way. No way am I going back to that. I got life insurance, folks. So you don't have to use condoms? Is that what life insurance is?

So I could do more dangerous shit with my dick. Yeah. I got life insurance because I'm a big boy now. I'm an old man. And I got little kids and a wife and all that kind of shit. Right. And apparently you're supposed to have stuff like a will and life insurance and all that kind of thing. And so I was I was getting hooked up with a policy and they ask you all all the questions.

They asked me if I'm going to do any stuff on a plane that does not involve, like just being a passenger on a commercial flight. Okay. Yeah, like they ask you all the dangerous behavior questions. And the guy was like, he was like, I'm so sorry about this. Look, it's just a question. I have to ask it. I'm going to ask it. We're going to move past it, okay.

And I was like, okay, it's fine, just go. It was like, have you had unprotected anal sex with anyone besides your partner in the last five years? I was like, oh god. It's like, nope. It's like, I'm so sorry. Oh wow. He's used to the answer being yes. Everybody's just like, yes, dozens of people

and it's rude that you ask. I just cheat purely for anal sex. Well, it's funny you say that. If it's vaginal, I always use a condo. There was some, I knew of a medical case and I can't say how I, not first hand, but let's say second hand. Where... Only raising more questions. No, I didn't know the guy, it's complicated, but he got a, he had a whole pass, basically, once a year. Wow. From his marriage, and he would go away and shoot a

bunch of heroin and get raw-dogged by strangers. Oh god Taylor's oldest time. We've all been there. We've all been there. I haven't. We haven't. We haven't. We haven't been there just to be clear. Yeah yeah yeah yeah. I have not been there. Yeah, well that's a thing. That's a thing. I mean, yeah, we've all we've all been at the doctor's office like the Polly guy pretending to count off on our fingers. How many partners we have? Yeah, and the doctor's like, oh, how many girlfriends this week, man? I love shit like how that conversation actually went

So folks we got a letter we got a letter in the mail bag Did we letter in the mail bag Just one big empty sack? Big empty sack. Reaching him right down the very bottom Scraping at the wall. Reaching the sack. Dry heaving out of the very bottom, scraping at the walls. Reaching the sack. Dry heaving out of the sack. And so on the last bonus episode for friends of the show who subscribe on Patreon and get extra episodes, oh we took a whole bunch of letters.

We drained the sack on that one. We dumped it all out. And one of the letters that we took was from a friend of the show and look I'll be real with you I had a crack and saying their name and I wasn't sure I wasn't sure and I said look right to the show and tell me if I got a right and they did. They did. Yeah. So friend of the show, Alaric Powell writes, hi guys, writing back to y'all to answer your questions, you did pronounce my name right, Alaric. So for your context, folks, it's spelled A-L-A-R-I-C.

Alaric, which about 90% of people usually aren't able to the first time. Al-Ayric is the typical one. So that was pretty neat to hear. So let me just say, fucking slam dunk. Hell yes. That's a slam dunk and a swish if it's possible to do that. Yeah. I'm not really a big basketball guy.

No. And it is a masculine name, though I identify as genderqueer and usually use they, then pronouns, but it's not like you all got to know that, so that's totally okay. As for the origins of my name, my American parents found it in a book of baby names. They had really normal names themselves and wanted something different. And my dad thought that Alaric sounded cool. But it actually dates back to the Visigoths, a Germanic tribe that was led by Alaric One during the Sac Rome in 410. I thought I knew the name from somewhere. It's a wizard name. I think it's in Asterix. It's in something. Yeah I assume that Visigoth means like supergoth basically. I think it means Western Goths. Really? Yeah, I could be wrong, but you got your Visigoths and you got your Austro-Goths.

And I thought they were Western East, but... We got the old Goths scientist over here. Uh, it, it was led by a Germanic tribe, led by Alaric one during the sacroam in 410, an event which historians have classically associated with the catastrophic end of the Roman Empire, which as a medieval late antique history grad student I would object to, but that's a whole other can of worms. My parents didn't know about that part of the name's origin until a relative faxed them an encyclopedia article about Alaric a few years after I was born and they were pretty surprised

and they named their their their to learn they named their kid after a barbarian. Anyway, love the show and thanks for taking my question. I was about to ask who the fuck faxes anything to anyone, but if it was a couple years after you were born then. That's reasonable. That's reasonable. But fax machines, folks. King of the Vizigoths. That rules. King, King of... Friend of the show, Alaric, King of the Visigoths.

Yep. So thanks for writing in. It's good to know that as usual I was 100% correct in my guessing. Shut the fuck off. Oh, and that'll do us for this week, folks.
