Yes, it's perfect match.
Now, welcome the star of our show, Greg Evans.
Thank you. Thanks very much.
Hi, everybody, and welcome.
And to you at home, wherever you may be around Australia.
Thank you for joining us tonight, and welcome to our show.
More fun, and who gets things rolling.
What about putting your hands together for the lovely Debbie Newsome?
Hi, Deb. How are you? I'm great, thanks.
How come you've always got earrings to match your dress?
I don't know. Always. Always.
I collect them, actually.
Wasn't it good on the weekend?
Yes, fantastic.
Had a ripper time in which we really must thank the people of Queensland for looking after us.
Yes, it was great.
Both Deb and I spent the weekend on Hamilton Island.
We had a great time.
We must thank the people of Queensland for looking after us. Both Deb and I spent the weekend on Hamilton Island, which is really beautiful.
It's a new... Oh, here we are. Funning and Sonning.
Where did they get those from? I know.
Oh, but it was great.
We were up there with the people from TV Week, and those photos and other such ones will be coming up in an issue pretty shortly, I think.
Out on the Great Barrier Reef.
Isn't the water beautiful?
Fantastic up there, and all those fish.
Thank you to everybody on Hamilton Island, and indeed to the people in Queensland at the resort as well at surface.
Finished all that, let's talk about the three blokes.
Right.
Our first contestant is a sales rep for a chemical company, Peter Sophos.
Hi, Peter. Nice to see you.
Next, Greg, we have a carpenter, Tony Keurek. Hi, Tony.
And another sales rep for the printing company, Ernest Josephich. Hi, Ernest.
Welcome to Perfect Match, Ernest.
Thank you, Deb.
Good luck.
Hi, guys. Number one, tell us your story.
Well, Greg, I've just bought a unit, so I spent a lot of time doing the decorating at the moment.
And I enjoy outdoor sports.
Good on you. Number two.
Well, I'm pretty simple. I just like to go out and have a good time, have a bit of a rage, and meet new people, have a few drinks, sit down and talk.
A few drinks.
Number three.
Oh, I have to skydive, Greg, on my weekends. The higher, the better.
Alright.
Okay, thanks for coming on our show, fellas, and good luck to you tonight.
We're going to rip a lady out the back. She's beautiful. Max, tell us about our first single.
Right, Greg. Tonight's first single is a makeup artist, beautician, and masseuse.
She hopes to have her own business in the future. A big welcome for Michelle Hunter.
Hello, Michelle.
How are you?
Fine.
That's good.
What do you like doing in your spare time?
Well, I like the water, so I try to get out as much as I possibly can. And I also like meeting interesting people.
We've got three very interesting people over there, and one of them, in fact, is just perfect for you.
I hope so.
Let's give our fingers crossed. Hope you choose the right one.
Thank you.
Have a seat, please, Michelle. Enjoy yourself tonight.
Darling, the rules of the game are very simple. You ask a series of questions, select the answers that most appeal to you.
At the end of the round, we'll give you ten seconds to think about those answers, and hopefully you'll choose your perfect match.
Good luck. First question to number one, please.
Contestant number one, what do you think women do better than men?
Well, I don't like to think women do anything better than men. I like to think we're equivalent.
Women do nothing better than men.
I like to think we're an equivalent now.
We're an equivalent. Number two.
Well, I think girls lie better than men.
And number three, what do you think women do better than men?
I think women have an amazing ability to get what they want. Works on me every time.
OK, Michelle, which of those answers do you relate to?
Well, it works with me, too. Contestant number three.
Number three gets the first match tonight.
Women always get what they want.
Next question, number two, please, Michelle.
What has been the oddest evening you've ever spent with a girl?
Number two.
Oh, well, I've never really had an evening like that.
You've never had an odd evening?
Well, so has been pretty good.
OK, number three.
I went out with a lady once, Greg, who just would not talk.
All she'd say is either yes, no or whatever you like.
And number one. What's been the oddest evening that you've ever spent with a girl?
I have to say I took this woman out one night when I shouldn't have and I come outside and my car was stolen.
What do you mean you shouldn't have taken her out?
Well, I sort of was going out with someone else at the same time.
That was the guy's punishment.
Punishment.
That's right.
Michelle.
Well, she had very good cause. Contestant number one.
Number one.
Number one picks up a match. All right, next question.
Number three, please, Michelle.
What food most accurately describes where you'd like your women to be?
Ah.
A nice warm three course meal I can take my time with.
A three course meal.
Something I can take my time with.
Something you can take your time with.
Yes.
Number one.
I have to say I've got a bit of a sweet tooth, so I'd say banana split.
And number two. What food most accurately describes the way you like your women to be?
Well, I'd say an octopus.
You know, somehow I thought you might say that.
What do you think, Michelle?
It's not very easy, but...
I like my entree. Contestant number three.
Number three gets another match.
Well done.
And there's the bell.
Michelle, we've run out of time, but you've had a chance to ascertain a bit more about their personality.
With one match with number one, none for number two, and two matches with number three, here's ten seconds to think about your date.
Michelle.
Contestant number three.
Number three!
Ha! Woo!
Number three gets it. Number three is pretty pleased about it, too.
Let me tell you about the other two men now, Michelle.
First of all, I'd like to introduce you to number one, who's a sales representative and he likes playing squash and surfing.
Please say hello to Peter Sophos.
Hi.
Contestant number two is a carpenter. He'd like to become a pilot someday.
I want you to meet Tony Kurak.
Hi.
Michelle, you chose contestant number three.
So, number three, step on down to the hard light and walk your way, Michelle.
What's going on?
What's the matter? What's going through your mind at the moment?
What am I done?
He's also a sales representative with a printing company. He's learning to fly at the moment and he enjoys skydiving.
Michelle Hunter, please meet Ernest Josephine.
Good. Good.
Very good. Very good.
In a word, great.
Very good. Very good. Very good.

Michelle, is Ernest just right for you?
Mm, deadly Ernest.
Let's find out as we welcome to the show tonight, Dexter.
Wow, thank you very much for your evidence.
They say that opposites attract Michelle.
Well, you and this man are certainly not opposites,
and you're not.
We will enjoy each other's company, but with a compatibility score of 65%,
your perfect match was Peter Sopors.
Ah, Pete.
Never mind, are you happy?
Oh, fantastically happy.

Welcome back to Perfect Match.
And here we go again with that part of the show
where we find out how our dates went.
Do you remember recently we introduced you
to Wendy Taylor and Bill Harrigan?
There they are kissing.
Didn't she look pretty on the show?
In fact, she looked pretty when we sent them off
to the Bali Sunset Club.
Bill and Wendy were in fact the perfect match.
And over in Bali, they had all the opportunity
to get to know each other, to play in the sun,
to relax at night, to enjoy the meals
and all the hospitality that the Bali Sunset Club
has to offer.
Let's now share some of that with them.
Please welcome back Bill and Wendy.
APPLAUSE
Hi, Wendy. How are you going?
And Bill. Good to see you again.
Welcome. What was the Bali Sunset Club like?
It was terrific.
Yes. It's an indication, isn't it,
that you can always tell he puts one arm around her,
she whacks her hand on his leg.
You can always tell. Obviously you had a good time.
Yeah, it was terrific. Everyone was fantastic.
What about you, Bill?
Terrific girl. Sue, our chaperone, good support.
We had a fantastic time.
Everything was fantastic? Yeah.
OK, when these two returned, we took them aside
and separately asked them what they thought of each other
when they first met.
I thought he was good-looking.
Very attractive.
Beautiful. I thought she was very nice.
He's a lot of fun to be with.
But he's got a little bit too much confidence, I think,
for my liking.
And on this trip, was Bill romantic?
Yes. Yeah.
Very romantic.
He tried to be.
Yes, he is. Very romantic.
We had a lot of fun together,
kissing and cuddling and so on.
Well, we got as far as kissing,
but nothing more than that.
OK. But what does the future hold for these two?
Well, we'll keep seeing each other
and let it develop from there.
Well, I'd like to see him some more.
I hope.
We've already dated since the trip,
and we will be seeing each other again.
And to sum up, how do they feel about each other?
I think he likes me, but not as much as what I'd like him to.
I think she likes me. I think she's wrapped.
There she is.
APPLAUSE
Righto, well, I guess we can follow that up by asking you.
Are you wrapped? Yes.
You are wrapped. Yeah.
And what do you honestly now, you've had a bit more time,
what do you think of Wendy?
I haven't signed an impression. I'm still the same girl.
Terrific. Fantastic. Yeah.
So what does the future hold?
Big date. Five clicks apart.
No, can't go wrong.
Five clicks apart? Yeah, that's how far she lives away.
True? Yeah.
Really? Yeah.
Oh, boy, I can see big, big futures ahead for both of you.
Lots of good times ahead.
Will you keep in touch and tell us about it?
Sure, I'll do. OK, for coming back, we've got this as a gift for you both.
For Wendy, the stylish hip-length lapen jacket with mandarin collar,
and for Bill, the soft Spanish leather jacket in saddle colour,
both from City Girl Furs.
APPLAUSE
Alright, now, it's always nice when things work out the way they should.
Dexter said you were a perfect match. Would you agree, Wendy?
Oh, definitely.
Would you agree, Bill? Yep.
On that note, we'll say bye-bye, and good luck to you in the future.
We'll take a break and be right back with more of Perfect Match straight after this.
APPLAUSE

I know. Isn't that lovely?
Do you like your eyes? Yes, I love eyes.
The eyes have it with you. Yes, they do.
Tell us about these ladies' eyes.

Welcome to the show, ladies. Thank you, Deb. Good luck.
See you later. Hello, number one.
Tell us about yourself.
Oh, I enjoy going out and meeting people and having a good time.
Are you into eyes?
Yes.
Alright. Number two.
I like the finer things in life and simply being myself.
Yes. Number three.
I like riding my horses, playing tennis, travelling and having a great time.
Okay, do you own a horse? Yes.
Yeah, good. Good.
Okay, good luck to you all. Thanks for coming on our show.
Give them a clap, yes, indeed.
Let's find out if our follower likes horse riding or being himself or whatever the girl said.
Max, please tell us about him.
Our next single, Greg, is a chat at a cart and he enjoys cricket, baseball and lazing on the beach.
Welcome Mark Byers.
Hello, Mark. How are you doing?
I'm terrific, thank you.
Flying on the beach. Yes.
And enjoying all the good things in life. That's me.
What do you like about your women, Mark?
I like them anyway, Greg, as long as they're easy to get on with.
Anyway. Yes.
Yes, right. Okay.
And in your spare time?
I play a lot of sport, Greg. Mainly baseball and cricket.
Baseball I like a bit more.
Okay. Good luck. Have a seat tonight. Thanks, Greg.
And one of those ladies, of course, Mark, is your perfect match.
Let's hope you pick the right one.
You know the rules, so ask your first question to contestant number one.
Player number one, what do men with big muscles do for you?
A lot.
I like the secure feeling.
The secure feeling of big muscles.
Number two.
I go weak at the knees.
I like a man to have big muscles and a nice, exact broad shoulders.
Yes. And a nice physique. Not too muscly.
Right. Do you like him flexing?
A little bit.
Okay. And number three, what do men with big muscles do for you?
I like a guy with a nice physique, but I don't like excessive muscles.
You can't cuddle them.
Can't cuddle them. Mark, can you relate to any of those answers?
Well, Greg, I'm not really into muscles myself, but...
What about oysters? Sorry.
Afro-dijester.
No, I think I'll take number three.
You get the match. All right. Not excessive muscles.
Mark sort of tuned into that answer.
Your next question to number two, please.
Player number two, what's one habit a guy might have that you wouldn't put up with?
Flirting in my presence or behind my back. I like my man to be faithful.
Right-o. Number three.
Wouldn't like a guy that would go off drinking with the guys and forget about his woman.
Oh, have you ever had that happen to you?
No, I wouldn't tolerate it.
Number one, what's the habit a guy might do on you that you just wouldn't put up with?
Dating. More than one woman.
More than one woman.
A lot of women.
Greg, I don't believe in flirting behind one's back, so I'll take number two.
Number two.
I'll match for number two. Your next question to number three, please, Mark.
Player number three, why wouldn't you like to be a man?
Number three, why wouldn't you like to be a man?
I like being feminine and treated that way and, I don't know, I never really think I could go into a male toilet.
Alright, number one.
Because I like men too much.
So you wouldn't like to be one because...
No.
And number two, why wouldn't you like to be a man?
I love being a woman. Um...
I love being a woman.
Yeah, she loves being a woman.
Okay, but why wouldn't you like to be a man?
Well, women get away with mad up, particularly in sticky situations.
If you meet a cop along the road or something.
I really get the impression I'm not sure whether they're women or womens.
Or a woman or women, but I'll leave it to you, Mark.
Um, I like my women to get away with a bit, Greg. I'll take number two.
Number two. Alright.
Oh, is she happy about that?
Mark, we're out of time. You haven't had a match with number one.
A match... two matches with number two and one match with number three.
We'll give you ten seconds to now make your choice.
Alright.
Mark, according to the question sheet that you filled in,
statistically one of those ladies is your perfect match. Who do you think it is?
Well, two out of three out of the bag, Greg. I'll take number two.
Alright.
I think I can do it. I think I can do it.
I got the girls. I got the girls.
Alright.
Let me tell you about the other two ladies now, Mark.
First of all, contestant number one is a nurse,
and she likes ice skating and she likes both water and snow skiing.
Please meet Allen Walsh.
Alright.
Yeah.
Contestant number three is a registered nurse also,
and she enjoys horse riding.
Mark, big moment.
Right.
Two out of three ain't bad, he said.
This lady works for an airline as a custom service clerk.
She also enjoys squash and she likes aerobics.
Mark Myers, please meet Donna So.
APPLAUSE

Federal Government looking at drastic measures to bolster Australia's ailing motor vehicle industry.
The crisis in the Gulf War between Iran and Iraq intensifying again with both sides planning new
offensives. The continuing operation of some hospitals in New South Wales hanging on the
outcome of a union meeting this evening. Eyewitness News with Katrina Lee, Tim Webster and the
Eyewitness News team. Good evening the Federal Government today announced a major restructuring
program to rejuvenate Australia's ailing car industry. The plan will reduce the number of
car manufacturers operating in Australia, cut the number of models available and gradually lower
the import restrictions and David Turnbull reports millions of dollars will be directed into research
to encourage Australian design. Policy announced in Canberra represents the hawk government's
definitive attempt in Australia's ailing motor industry back on the road and the action is
immediate. From tomorrow the loophole that's enabled light commercial vehicles like these
to erode the passenger market will be closed and that's only a pointer to much more dramatic
changes. Over the next five years the government plans to cut the number of models produced locally
from 13 to 6 or less, allocate 150 million dollars for research, reduce import restrictions
and set up an automotive industry authority to oversee the restructuring. Dramatic step industry
and commerce minister John Button hopes will result in a more efficient industry, greater
productivity and lower car prices. We had to make a fundamental choice whether the,
where and one has to do this I suppose with all industries or a lot of industries in Australia
whether you put them in an iron lung of protection and just hope they keep breathing
or whether you say to them get up and walk which is a more modern way of dealing with illnesses and
so on and we've adopted the second course. By 1990 the government expects only three manufacturers
will produce cars locally and Senator Button concedes there will be fewer jobs. He indicated
GMH alone had confirmed its intentions to reduce staff by between three and four thousand and he
outlined plans for a retraining scheme that would provide those displaced with an allowance of
46 dollars a week on top of the doll. What we have to look for is a planned reduction of employment
in this industry over a period of time that's what we'll be doing. In fact in the number of
positive proposals we've made there are references to the need for orderly development of the
industry that is an expression which includes employment as far as we're concerned.
Superceded market leader GMH wasn't available for comment this afternoon
however its replacement Ford and others indicated they were happy. Ford managing director Bill Dix
says although surprised at the decision to halve the number of models he's fairly pleased with the
government. The government has done a very thoughtful job of analyzing the problems of
the industry and in establishing some ground rules and some approaches which should provide
an opportunity for a sensible restructuring over time. In Sydney the government's rationalization
plans have been condemned by the union movement. Vehicle Builders Union Secretary Joe Thompson
has researched Australia's car industry for many years. He says the government's action will cost
thousands of jobs and is just the beginning of the disintegration of Australian industry. Yes we'll
be going back to where we were in 1934 almost not quite almost in 1934 where we assembled cars in
Australia from complete foreign parts. The difference will be this that the car of the future in
Australia would have an Australian bill engine in it, Australian glass, Australian tyres, an Australian
battery and the rest of the car will be fully imported and just assembled locally. Take the
closure of Pagewood when all those people lost their jobs at that plant many of them have never
worked again. Overseas the Gulf War between Iran and Iraq appears to be nearing a new crisis tonight
frantic diplomatic efforts to reduce the tensions continue but many observers fear
Iran and Iraq are on the verge of human wave warfare. Iranian President Ali Khamenei today
warned conservative Arab states to keep out of the conflict or suffer the consequences
and reports are gaining strength in the Middle East. Both nations are preparing for major ground
attacks in the near future. The tensions raised by the escalation of the struggle over both land and
sea have become more vivid in the past 30 hours in the military preparations and the continuing
surge of diplomatic activity. The United States is maintaining its low-key stand although its fleet
of warships near the war zone has grown and is on full alert ready in case of any emergency.
The Australian tanker William Dampier has now left the danger zone although dozens of other vessels
are still there trying to maintain the flow of crude oil from the Gulf many bearing the scars of
the war between Iran and Iraq. The captain and crew of this Liberian tanker hit by air-launched
missiles have just returned to Austria where they told of the attack on their ship. They were anchored
almost 30 kilometers south of the Iranian terminal of Kharg Island in what they believed was a safe
anchorage when the attacker was hit by two missiles. Most of the crew suffered some injury
either from shrapnel or burns. Meanwhile America's ambassador to the United Nations
Jean Kirkpatrick has again ruled out direct American involvement in the war including the
use of early warning aircraft, jet fighters and refuelling aircraft. However administration
sources say the Reagan government has agreed to double the number of stinger anti-aircraft
missiles for Saudi Arabia. At present the Saudis have 400 missiles and 200 launchers to protect
vital equipment from Iranian air attack. In other world news tonight our foreign minister
Bill Hayden says the Soviets have accepted Australia has a role to play in world disarmament talks.
We'll have the full story a little later. Back home a new crisis facing our hospitals after five
days of bans by health workers and plans for another housing development at Windsor to see
2 000 new homes built.
