at the moment

Mate, newsreading -
not for everyone.
145
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:27,959
Right.
It's nothing personal.
146
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,439
It's just when the camera goes on
a particular sort of person,
147
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,519
the viewer feels very secure.
148
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,279

No.
153
00:06:46,280 --> 00:06:48,279
Because I have been working
with a vocal coach all summer.

Jack Thompson.
155
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,559
You want to get
your money back, Dale.
156
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,720
You don't sound anything like
Jack Thompson.
157
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,119
Mate, how well do you know Helen?
158
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,439
Um... we nod hello sometimes.
159
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,559
Then you know she's very, very set
on these special reports.
160

Right.
Yeah, so what I really need now
161
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,599
is a bloke with some chops
to go out with her,
162
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,199
help her shoot,
help her put the story together.
163
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:17,559
You do this for me on Monday,
164
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,079
then maybe I can give you a shot
on an update on... Tuesday.
165
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:22,759
Is that a deal?
Deal.
166
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,199
But you gotta watch yourself
with her, OK?
167
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:25,879
She's going to hit you
with a lot of shitty ideas
168
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,479
about cross-eyed single mothers
and AIDS and Christ knows what else.
169
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,759
Your job is to bat her away.
170
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,799
OK. Heh! Great!
171
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,159
Uh, thanks so much, Lindsay.
172
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,719
Um, should we meet again
after the update to...?

Hi. It's me. Um...

00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:24,719
I just got my first update
live on the desk next week.
178
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,079
When next week?

I mean, it's just Tuesday morning
right now,
181

but if it goes well,
there will be more.
182
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,359

Yes.

Yeah.
214

It's a woman - uh, mother of two...
215
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:13,879
Right, well, you can
tell Dale all this.
216

He's got some options
for you as well.

Lindsay said I could...
It was Lindsay's idea.
220
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,320
All reporters work under a producer.
221
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:31,960
They also get here at 7:00am.
222
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,119
Helen.
Hi.
223
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:36,919
So thrilled to be working with you.
Mm-hm.
224
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,239
Looks like it's gonna be
a bit of a bumper day.
225
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,599
So, I'm sorry, I was under the
impression that this was gonna be
226
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,879
a special report of my choosing.
227
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,519
Absolutely. And I've got quite a few
options I thought we could pick from.
228
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:48,959
Well, I already have an interview.
229
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:50,960
OK. An interview with who?
230
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:53,839
Do you want to get a pen?
231
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,519
Yep.

(CLEARS THROAT)
233
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,799
So, I have been in contact
with a woman.
234
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,279
Her name is Caroline Gibson.
OK.
235
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,519
She has two children
and she is HIV positive.
236
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:10,879
OK.
237
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,839
I know Lindsay's thoughts
on AIDS stories,
238
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,679
but I see this as more of
a family story.
239
00:12:15,680 --> 00:12:16,680
Mm-hm.
240
00:12:16,681 --> 00:12:19,519
So, Caroline contracted HIV
through a blood transfusion
241
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,359
and there's actually quite
a few women in the same position.
242
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,279
Except none of them have spoken
to the media yet, so...
243
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:25,480
Look, I...
244
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,959
I think just for the first report...
Oh, this isn't my first report.
245
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:31,479
The first in this particular series,
246
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,319
they were just hoping for something
a little more upbeat.
247
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,440
Still with substance, but...
248
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,280
Like what?
249
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:41,680
OK. Um...
250
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,559
It's the first day of school,
251
00:12:46,560 --> 00:12:51,280
so I was thinking we could actually
get you interviewing a prep class.
252
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,119
Alternatively... Actually, this is...
253
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,119
Um, the new Melbourne Zoo
butterfly house.
254
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:06,319
It's really world-class,
it's... it's, um, innovative
255
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:10,320
and they're about to welcome
their one millionth visitor.
256
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,039
Have you been there?
257
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:16,839
It's quite good.
258
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,599

said...
259
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,319
Oh, God. Don't start having
a whinge with me now, OK?
260
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,319
..that this was going to be
a special report of my choosing.
261
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,479
You are more than welcome to take
it up with him when he gets here.
262
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:25,639

(BOTH TALK OVER EACH OTHER)
I think I've got a good third option.
264
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,200
Uh... It's about women and space.
265
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,519
Just being able
to, um, see the planet.
266
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,079
I mean, you see it in pictures
267
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,640
but to be able to see that
in reality is gonna be wonderful.
268
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:43,919
So, she's a schoolteacher
and a mother of two,
269
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:45,199
and she's been picked by NASA
270
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,719
to be the first civilian
ever sent into space.
271
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:49,039
Great. I love it.
272
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:50,319
It's a US story.
273
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,799
Yeah. But I think we can get
some good Australian angles.
274
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,039
Can I speak to her?
Um...
275
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,119
Well, no, no, no.
276
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,519
But we do have an excellent
space scientist at the CSIRO
277
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:01,919
who we've used before.
278
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,159
Plus, Hawke has made some comments
279
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,039
about Australia
getting its own space program,
280
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:06,559
so we could cover that as well.
281
00:14:06,560 --> 00:14:08,079
Yep, I'd want to watch that.
Well done.
282
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,799
I want to talk to Lindsay.
I want to pitch my story.
283
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,079
I think it speaks for itself.
284
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,039
I mean, if you go in there
and tell him that right now,
285
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,000
you can forget about these reports.
286
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,000
Don't worry. I'll tell Lindsay
you did your best.
287
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,399
You know,
I would just appreciate it,
288
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,159
if you get the chance, to
tell Lindsay that I did my best too.
289
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,439
OK. It might not come up but, uh...
290
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,000
..just in case it does.

how to put a sock in it, do you?

because that's the job.

though, sweetheart.
303

shit we have to put up with from you,
304

with a ten-foot bargepole.

for Christa McAuliffe...
866

at Concord High School,

Mrs McAuliffe taught...
Badly.

00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:39,959
..American history, law, economics,
874
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:43,959
and a course that she designed
herself - The American Woman.

Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev
has sent a telegram of condolence
876

Ronald Reagan.

OK.
878
00:46:50,720 --> 00:46:53,239
The telegram read,
"We partake of your grief..."
879
00:46:53,240 --> 00:46:55,279
Uh, so, Reagan made a speech.
880
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:58,239
He spoke directly to schoolchildren,
saying that the tragedy was...
881
00:46:58,240 --> 00:47:01,119
..part of the process
of exploration,
882
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:06,119
and he pledged that the Shuttle
program will absolutely continue.

I've always had great faith in
884

does nothing to diminish it.

And, back in five...

the horror that we all feel.
892
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:28,279
The impact of this tragedy
will be felt for months, years.
893
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:32,479
But right now, our thoughts must be
with those children tonight,
894
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:36,799
going to bed, having
tragically lost a parent.

there might be one body...

that I'm taking with me.
