It's nice to have you happy smiling little faces back again.
Now you all know that Carlotta is a she-male.
Well it's now time to have the e-mail.
That's so witty.
It is isn't it?
I thought so.
Here's the e-mail from Mr M and L Drummond.
I watched your show for the first time and thought it was excellent.
I haven't laughed so much for a long time.
It was great to see people saying what they actually think without worrying about political
correctness.
It is very obvious that these views are the speaker's own and not that of the network
they are representing.
Well done on the most honest show I have seen on television for a long time.
Laura Drummond from Kalani Vale in New South Wales.
Isn't that nice?
We finally got a nice e-mail.
I mean every e-mail I ring out they say the bitch is an a-hole and all that sort of stuff.
But anyway that's very nice.
I'd like to have more nice e-mails if we can.
Or letters from Kalani Vale?
Not all letters.
Yes.
Every letter I get or e-mail is just dreadful.
Before we move on here's the address if you'd like to have your say.
Just write to Beauty and the Beast, care of GPO, Box 90, Sydney 2001 or you can call me
on my radio show tonight if you so desire on 13 13 32.
Paul it out Ida, show us your beauty spot.
Is the law unfair to women?
I believe it is.
Not only in many of its judgements but also in its lack of representation of women in
the judiciary.
This is not only an Australian shortcoming, the situation is the same in most other countries.
A woman judge for instance could have told her male colleagues in Italy that no woman
would ever help a man rape her.
Women everywhere must have been appalled at the Italian Appeal Court's findings that
during a driving lesson on a country road an 18 year old woman must have helped her
45 year old driving instructor to pull off her jeans so that he could rape her.
The court concluded thus intercourse must have been consensual.
We are reminded again of the peculiar workings of the male judge's mind in the recent case
reported in Sydney of a man who killed his second wife only seven years after stabbing
his first wife.
He kidnapped his first wife and their child and then stabbed her.
The sentencing judge said he had stabbed her with such force as to break the blade of the
knife from the handle but sentenced him to only two years, acknowledging his complete
and utter contrition and cooperation.
A woman judge could have explained that men with a history of domestic violence who continually
break apprehended violence orders rarely change.
He stabbed his second wife to death and this time he's been sentenced to 30 years.
Women are not served well enough by the law and as long as women are excessively unrepresented
in the Australian judiciary the situation will not improve.
Okay Ida you make the same mistake a lot of women do, it's all against us and I'm sorry
to say I'm talking about the women okay you all say it's all against women.
Look I think we shouldn't just say you know men and women.
The problem we've got in our society is the judicial system I mean they just are not bringing
down the right sort of sentences you know they are just disregarding things and not
making sure that these people are locked up for a long long time.
I concede you have a point that you know that men and women are both affected by decisions
that a lot of us would query however I would say that women are not represented well enough
in the legal circuit, there are not enough women in the courts, well it's one of the
last male bastions you know it's the white waspish you know.
But I brought this figure out before that there are more women going through the legal
studies at university but they're dropping out, over fifty percent, fifty two percent
of those people, but only about eleven percent are actually in any of the top legal jobs
because it's a male club but listen I know all the nonsense about equality but I tell
you Stan the male club that stops women getting on is very much alive and well and if they
don't want women to be judges they don't make.
You are sounding like another woman out there and I don't mean to be disrespectful to you
because I know you've been very successful and you're one woman that everyone should
look up to but the problem is we have in this society is that people look for excuses all
the time, you've just mentioned it, it's a boys club out there, the glass ceiling all
that nonsense.
I didn't say glass ceiling.
No you said the boys club it's exactly the same thing.
It took eighty years for a woman to be appointed to the high court in Australia and she's still
there all on her own.
You think there might not have been a woman out there that had the talent to sit on the
high court?
No I don't and don't tell me that either and in a minute you're going to tell me that
the reason we're so woefully represented on boards is because we're not good at finance.
I mean that is just hogwash.
Well okay there are plenty of women out there if they really are concerned about not getting
the right sort of jobs don't you think they should work harder just like a bloke does?
Harder?
Harder, absolutely, absolutely.
Bloody boy, we had two jobs, we go to work and then we run the house, I haven't mentioned
the glass ceiling, you keep mentioning it.
The glass ceiling, I know because you're always looking for excuses and the glass ceiling
is a perfect excuse.
I'm not looking for excuses, I don't make excuses about things, I know how hard you
have to work to get on, don't tell me about it.
Yeah exactly.
I'd love to see you go to work and then come home and keep house and cook and clean and
look after the kids and do all that stuff as well and do the lot.
Men usually come home and go and flop in the big chair in front of the television with
their newspaper or whatever and wait until dinner is served up to them.
But I don't totally agree with ITA, I think there certainly should be more women in our
legal system but you've got to look at it also, it works both ways because I think in
some situations men get a bad deal like in custody battles and things like that sometimes
I think that men are overlooked for certain skills that they have.
If there were more women judges, men wouldn't be overlooked, they would understand how important
the parenting role is to men as well as to women.
Are you saying that men don't understand these things?
I think male judges, a lot of them, don't understand it at all and that's why you have
these strange decisions.
If they haven't been at the bar, they've been at another bar for the last 20 years for everyone
I've ever known in the legal system.
But the thing is also you've got to look at how many women, I mean there's been many
situations where women have actually got off murder cases because, and one that I know
of personally myself, because the woman had PMT, so you know what I mean, we're saying
we're making excuses.
A woman judge could have told her colleagues that that is a ridiculous attitude, the PMT
is not something that reduces you to that kind of situation, that's why you need more
women there.
This woman who got stabbed and the knife broke off, I cannot understand a sentence of 30
years.
Two years for stabbing and 30 years for killing the second.
I can't understand that, if you take someone's life and it's totally proved that you've
taken someone's life, what happened to life in jail without being released?
It gets back to the judicial system, to the legislation that is brought down by the politicians.
Now there's a lot of female politicians in Parliament House aren't there?
Oh come on, there's some.
There's more than ever before.
Big deal, it's not 50%.
But okay, those women are there because they've got the talent to be there.
But there are a lot of other women out there who say I couldn't get into Parliament because
it was a boy's club.
The preselectors say, oh no, he's a good bloke, we'll let him in, oh her, she's a bit of a
trouble, no we don't want her.
We'll have him.
You're making excuses for all those women out there.
I am not, I am just stating the facts.
That's not a fact at all.
Surely you must think that 50% of, there's 50% women in the race.
52% if you want to be precise.
Well let's put it that way, why shouldn't we have equal representative in government?
If there's more of us.
Well because it's up to the majority, we still have a democracy in this place and it's up
to the majority to vote in those people that they want.
You can't turn around, like the bloody Labor Party said, we've got to make 50% of the seats
women.
Oh rubbish.
You can't possibly tell me that you should mandate to have 50% women sitting in the seats
of Parliament.
What a load of absolute crap and nonsense that is.
That's where we get into trouble because we end up having down second rate people.
It's like you say, that men are smarter than women.
I mean that would be the dumbest statement you'd come up with is something like that.
If women want to go and run for Parliament and run for the managing director's job of
BHP, then let them do it.
But don't do what ITER has done is make excuses as to why they don't do it.
I'm second tied in this society, I can tell you, with all these people making excuses.
That's all you ever do.
And all you ever hear from is whining, whinging, bitching women who say they couldn't get the job.
They can't move up the ladder because the boys clubs there.
The glass ceiling and all that sort of stuff.
Excuse me, I am not a whining, whinging woman and I've made it to the top.
And I know what it's like.
And now she's on the way down again.
That's why she's on the panel.
Stick around for some tales of teenage woes after the break.
You've got two tattoos, is that correct?
Yes, I have this one.
What's the other one?
Oh, it's on my toe.

Dear Stan, I've heard you say many times
that multiculturalism doesn't work
and I agree with you 100%.
The recent brawl at a soccer match in Sydney
is perfect proof of this.
The violence at that game had nothing to do with soccer
and everything to do with racial differences.
Multiculturalism is for dreamers
and all the Anglo-Australians who think it's working are idiots.
Sid from Seven Hills in New South Wales, Carlotta.
What a load of garbage.
That is a total load of garbage.
You think multiculturalism works?
He sounds like a racist to me.
There's multiculturalism.
Why? Because he had the hide to be able to come up
with a different viewpoint.
So you say he's a bloody racist?
Yeah, he is a racist.
How is he a racist?
He's a racist.
How is he a racist?
He's not being multicultural.
What's wrong with that?
I knock it as well.
It doesn't bloody work.
Well, I think it does work.
How does it work?
Either way, we've had the Chinese here for years.
Darling, you don't know the difference between multiculturalism
and assimilation.
We've had assimilation for years and years
bringing people to this country
because it was the country to come to.
So people wanted to come here because of our lifestyle
and the people we were.
Multiculturalism, they want to change us.
What a load of crap.
You're going to explode in a minute.
You're going to explode in a minute.
Well, I think it does work.
I think multiculturalism does work.
It's just the idiots.
There are some idiots amongst them.
And there are idiots amongst the ockers, too.
We had Chinese restaurants in the 60s.
Is that the point you're trying to get to?
Yes, and we've got beautiful Italian people here.
We've got beautiful Greek people here.
Never in Czechoslovakia.
All are born here are second and third generation Australians.
So what?
So because some idiot at a soccer match goes off...
But that's a very good point, though.
I mean, you go to a soccer game and a fight breaks out.
Or is it you go to a fight and a soccer game breaks out?
It can happen on your radio show.
It could happen anywhere.
But, you know, I just find this guy, I think he's a racist.
Okay, Ida, is he a racist?
Well, I think he's fairly narrow-minded.
I don't think he can say multiculturalism doesn't work
because of an incident at a soccer match.
And I actually heard one of the other announcers
on Stan's radio station the other day saying that
the reason they had a Donnie Brook at the soccer was
because it's such a boring game.
And maybe there's some truth in that, Sid.
Okay. Belinda?
Well, I think saying multiculturalism is for dreamers
is a bit like saying Christianity is.
And I don't necessarily...
I think that it's irrelevant here,
even though you say that, you know,
the argument was because of race.
I believe that wherever their emotions are flying really high,
particularly in sport, I mean, in soccer,
everyone gets very emotional about soccer and football
and those sorts of games.
You don't see many punch-ups at cricket, though, do you?
No.
And I just think this is where all the emotions run really high.
There's always going to be conflict.
And I believe that, you know, I think that
when the next generation comes along,
I think people then start to accept themselves more as Australians.
And I think that we mix quite well.
I think Australia's great.
And I just think that all these emotions are just part of the sport.
Okay. Julia?
I don't think that the sport has anything to do
with the multiculturalism in our country.
I live in Victoria for the time being,
and our multiculturalism works beautifully down there.
It's not an issue of whether we have good restaurants or not.
I think that's a close-minded view that restaurants and multiculturalism
are the two things that go together.
We live side by side in my suburb,
and what exactly am I trying to say?
I think the soccer match...
You're going to get conflict wherever you get idiots, for a start.
And I really think the problem, once again,
back to Stan's and my argument a couple of weeks ago,
is that it's alcohol-based.
My votes are down. I bet all the stone people are at home.
Yeah, look, I don't think on this particular occasion
at this particular soccer match there was any booze there at all.
Oh, no way. Not in this sport.
No way. Not a chance.
Look, I just think what Ida said, yes,
the announcer on our radio station,
it was probably the only decent thing he said in the last 12 months,
that soccer is a boring game,
and I suppose you've got to end up doing something to amuse yourself,
so these blokes want to belt the triplet of each other.
It's a bit more exciting than cricket, though, don't you think?
No, I think cricket is very exciting.
Soccer is very boring.
How can you win a game 1-0?
I mean, all those draws they have.
I mean, I can understand why people get frustrated.
They make the whole goal thing a bit bigger.
But anyway, sit out there at Seven Hills.
Ida thinks you're a racist. I don't think you're a racist.
I think you're like a lot of people in this country
who want to have their say
and give their opinion about various subjects,
and because your opinion is different from Carlotta's,
you're labeled a racist.
You're labeled a racist.
So consequently, what that's meant to do is to shut you up.
I say to you, Sid, don't shut up.
Get out there. Be vocal. Be opinionated.
And, you know, a lot of these people don't know the difference
between racism and criticism.
And obviously, you don't as well.
I definitely do. I definitely do.
You haven't got a clue.
You think I'm a racist as well, don't you?
I do. You do.
When have I ever said a racist statement?
I think you have.
When have I ever said a racist statement?
Well, if you're not knocking multiculturalism, what do you call it?
Well, so what? If I knock multiculturalism,
so what? That's my opinion, for God's sake.
Well, that's my opinion.
Okay, but you're... That's my opinion.
And I'm saying you're worthy of that opinion,
but don't call me a racist because I call multiculturalism
a waste of bloody time.
Well, I don't find it a waste of time, and that's my opinion.
So, okay, I've got the opinion.
If I've got the opinion, you've got an opinion.
But I'm called a racist because I dare not knock multiculturalism.
Well, I think anyone that knocks anyone from another country
is a racist.
Oh, you idiot.
See, that's where we're going wrong in this country.

Dear Stanton Girls.
My boyfriend and I like a good passion
the back seat of his car before his night detention
at a correctional centre.
Facility, in fact.
For taking his fondness for plastic wrap
a step too far.
Now I don't understand it.
I've been out of Stanton for a long time.
I don't understand it.
I've been out of circulation a long time.
However, he's developed halitosis
and it's all I can do
not to reach every time he gets within a foot of me.
She wants to have a big up and under.
I've even taken to covering my face
with plastic wrap to prevent him
from getting at my mouth.
But due to his fetish
this only drives him to greater ecstasy.
If you know what I mean.
I have no idea what you mean, sweetheart.
I love my boyfriend
but how can I get him to confront his disease
without hurting his feelings?
Lisa from Bankstown in New South Wales.
Can you explain this to me?
I don't understand it.
What are they doing with the plastic wrap?
I don't know what they're doing with the plastic wrap
but it doesn't sound nice
and how you can let him near you beats me
and he'll pass you in the back seat
with a glad wrap over your mouth.
Dear Lisa, give the boy up
and get a life.
Okay, Julia.
I'm a little bit concerned about the...
Did you see Bad Boy Bubby
when he kept putting the plastic around
and killing the cats and stuff?
He kept wrapping everything in plastic.
So I'm concerned he's just going to wrap
when he's passionate too hard one night
and just choke her and she'll die.
That was a bit of a mistake.
I don't really think you need to be concerned
about hurting his feelings
when he will still kiss you
while you've got plastic on the front of your head.
So I reckon cut him loose.
Carlotta.
Look, I've heard of some kinky things in my life
but I can never understand kinky people
because people are like leather
or they've got these pump things
that make men's things
and they pump them
and women love all that
and I mean glad wrap.
Where is the kink in glad wrap?
What happened to old fashioned love?
It beats the hell out of me. I don't know where it's going to go.
Okay, Belinda.
You're going to have to forgive me, Stan
I don't know what halitosis is.
Bad breath.
But like medically bad.
It comes from the gut.
It comes from his stomach.
Yuck. Well, the only use I've ever found
for glad wrap is wrapping it around my thighs
to get rid of some cellulite.
That would be a nice look.
It's not a real nice look actually
but it's actually when I sleep alone.
That's when I used to have cellulite.
What I do is find a new treat
for giving the flick.
Anyway, as you can see
most of the panel want to be wrapped up in glad wrap
especially Carlotta.
Actually what we should do is put a big bag
over your head and improve your sight
no end. That's all we have time for.
Thank you to all the beauties.
To Carlotta and Belinda.

Here comes the bride
and here she comes again and again.
Are you marrying the same guy in different pants?
Four marriages. The first one was an adolescent
marriage. At 19 you just
don't know who you are. I'd be married
to Bubba Taylor today if I had.
And five children later. How are you going to take care of five children?
That's exactly why I got into husband
number three. She has another proposal
on the way. It was a proposal after
maybe two weeks of seeing each other.
Oh no, no, no, no. Aren't you feeling
no right now, audience?
People who marry and divorce over and
over. Three marriages, total married
time, three and a half years. You are
a marrying magnet. Is it a virus
of the mind? These myths
of happily ever after are
so prevalent that they infect us.
What's going on? Coming up
next.

Right on, right on. Come on and
run with me.
Run with me,
yeah.
Oh my goodness.
Thank you.
Have a seat. My goodness, the people look good.
And so
colorful, I must say.
Lady in blue over here, what made
you decide to wear that color today? I don't
know. I guess to be seen.
Lady in purple over here, what was it?
Lady in purple and the rust next to
her. Same reason I guess. To be seen.
