Back when A Current Affair was a proper news show and not full of garbage about comparing supermarket prices and fawning over visiting international celebrities.
yea, how many times have they done that..but for every generation or something 20s..its all new..remember most suffer from attention deficit..there are still some good stories..and who's watching tv when you have social media with the iphone..
simonmoves There's been a dumbing down with television and this generation now. Im 34 so not that old but back in 1989 all the channels on Australian TV did serious current affairs, but eventually channels 9 and 10 realised there was more ratings to be had from sensationalism and in 10's case youth entertainment demographics and the serious current affairs went out the window and were left to the ABC that didn't rely on ratings. Nowadays you get shows like The Project trying to be youthful and still tackle current affairs but the day of the serious current affairs show on commercial TV has long since died as in this day and age the 20 and 30 somethings are more interested in Lady Ga Ga than what's going on in parliament.
Blue Whovian glad you noticed ,, standard is going down..they have to sensationalism it so people watch it..the 7 o'clock time slot is a high rating period..as i said with social media and ipads/iphones..it can take viewing away from traditional tv viewing...so they have repeat stories from way back when that got good ratings..i still say,,there are interesting stories on ACA..if i want to view it..you can catch up on ninemsn and watch it on line..or record it and fast foward quickly..to what you want to see...of course if joh was around,,he would say--your wrong wrong wrong..cheers simon
Blue Whovian You're exactly right in both of your comments. Gone are the days when serious current affairs were reported every night. You had Chris Masters, Quentin Dempster, Ray Martin, Jana Wendt and other serious Journalists who concentrated on the important things and asked the hard questions. Of course, there was also Kerry O'Brien on the ABC, who tripped up a lot of politicians and other shady characters like Bond and Skase. Leigh Sales does a great job covering important national issues and is one of the most able Journalists in the country---a worthy successor to Kerry O'Brien. Like Kerry, Leigh can see through the Political spin, is a relentless pursuer of the truth and extremely well versed in all political matters from Foreign Affairs to the most recondite aspects of Economics. As you say, these days we're treated with what specials are on at Myers and other overt advertising in the guise of current affairs. Occasionally, ACA starts an investigation like they did with Robert Hughes, and blows the cover of conmen like Peter Foster. Kudos to them for that, but I believe they should also be reporting matters of substance such as what's transpiring in Parliament and other serious issues. I'm not the least bit interested in which celebrity is dating which other celebrity, what clothes the Queen or some Princess is wearing or what's on the cover of Womans Day. I much prefer the meat and potatoes to the salads and garnishings offered by ACA. Richard Hiller.
You are so, so right. ACA is a joke now, compared to what it used to be-when it investigated and reported on matters of substance. Occasionally they get it right, with proactive journalism which led directly to the arrest and prosecutions of Robert Hughes and Peter Foster. However, I can hardly envisage Journalists like Jana Wendt, Quentin Dempster, Chris Masters, Kerry O'Brien and Leigh Sales ingenuously and enthusiastically spruiking about discounts at Coles. The media have dropped the ball with respect to current affairs, and the talents of gifted Journalists like Tracey Grimshaw and Martin King are being squandered. If they devoted one tenth of the energy and revenue to current affairs that they do to "reality shows" like Big Brother, the public would be far more enlightened than they are now.
“Sir Leslie Thiess hauled Channel 9 into court, only to be confronted day after day with testimony from 50 witnesses that was more damaging, detailed and far-ranging than the original A Current Affair programme. In the end, the jury found that Channel Nine had proved that Sir Leslie Thiess had bribed Sir Joh on a large scale.”
@@dheath3697didn’t he go to court but the dissenting juror hid he was a former Young Liberal with ties to JBP so he was found not guilty ? He died soon after, so no appeal case could be made I think.
I watched this interview the night it was broadcast, then a few weeks later watched the Fast Forward version. I've never laughed so much, I was on the floor and couldn't breathe. Sheer brilliance.
You could not make this interview up. What an era. Amazingly, this fellow dominated Queensland politics as premier for nearly two decades. He profoundly influenced federal politics too. Thank you for posting this interview. I certainly miss journalists of the exceptional calibre of Jana Wendt.
James Burns it’s as if he was borderline senile - the fast forward clan perfectly captured the character. I feel like Sir Joh’s ‘serious’ manner is a joke in real life. I see a few smirks here 🤣
Love Jana's smile when she gets the kind of Joh-isms she's hoping for...like him saying he was told the interview would be about her book (it's HIS book), then coming out with, "Jana, you know very well that you've got your foot on a sticky paper" and "all I know, Jana, is you can't stick to the truth a lot and you go up dry gullies like you have"... hilarious!
Just saying you’re wrong without saying why, changing what you say mid-sentence, stuttering over simple words and avoiding questions means you’re a fool
brent smith lol he didn’t even try to answer it. Kept changing what he was changing mid sentence. Avoided questions. It was obviously true and he went to trial for it and only avoided retrial by his age. If you support him, you a bigger fuckwit than he was. He said she as wrong and was going to prove it. He never did. She was willing to substantiate it there and then. He wasn’t. Just kept on going “You are wrong, you are wrong...” couldn’t offer anything in his defence pathetic
She is formidable. One of the very best interviewers I have ever seen. I saw a joke tape she made with David Jonson. She was very funny too, that just doesn’t surprise me. She would not get a show in the Australian Media at the moment she would have the current mob of politicians cringing in their shoes. I don’t anybody beat her in an Interview situation. In my opinion her & Kerry O’Brien ( who John Howard refused to do interviews with ) just made politics in Australia a lot more honest in the 80’s & 90’s. She definitely would not be offered a job at News Ltd. I saw her 1 day with her husband in a Department Store in Sydney in the 1980’s. Beautifully dressed & just stunning.

@@justdoesntaddup8620 . Did I say that. I was quite simply saying she is a class act . Only Kerrie O’Brien in this county was as good as her . O’Brien in my view Lateline & 7.30 report interviews are what we need today. John Howard refused to be interviewed by him & he was the only interviewer that could make Keating stutter, even though they were friends. He also had Tony Abbott in a complete mess talking about the stimulus package introduced by the Labour Party in around 2008 .I said she Jana Wendt beautifully dressed, because she made an effort to be Professional, it has nothing to do with her being female.
@@beagle7622 Huh , she was just another pretty face trying to make herself as big as those she tried to unsettle, an unorganised bundle of kangaroo interview questions, none of them triggered Joh, but she kept rescripting the same tired allegation. Even tried to blame him for stalling the libs in the 80’s , joke , who could vote libs back then with peacock Howard go round. How many times can yr ask and repeat the same question, get calmly shunted away , then go back again with the same tired question. Fail. Again.
they used to sell fly traps in the old days that had some sort of a glue mixed with a fly attractant on a roll of paper ..when you got to your camp site you would unroll it and hang it from the roof of your tent or a tree and when the flies walked on it there feet would stick to the paper ...end of story

Now I know you young ones have been taught to hate everybody but no one hated Ray it's just a shame that all the young ones decided they would rather play video games that watch television so there was no budget to pay for him so now we have the dregs of society reporting with blonde females that can't pronounce words correctly. If I hear another one of them saying wader or ninedy I'm going to lose it

My God this takes me back. It was hell living in Queensland during these years. It was also hell living in the same house as my father who though that Joh was wonderful
One of the last colourful politicians. The internet has stopped characters like Sir Joh and Nifty Neville Wran who relied heavily on the average person not being able to look into their shadiness.
What shadiness the only corruption I ever knew of was the Rex Jackson affair and he sacked the prick the moment he became aware of what he was doing Your a liar
The only Politician NEVER to be convicted of bad politics. I met Joe and Flo when I was a kid we went on a scout camp not far from their farm and he and Flo came out and gave us a tour. Oh my, Jana, that smile; another great interview was with Gadhafi she was fearless.

NZer here - Ok, I'll fess up and mention that we gave him to you! I don't know all that much about him except that I've heard a bit about his dodgy stuff. However, he comes across as a bit of a character in spite of that!
Wow, QLD have come a long way since being under this clown. As a NZer arriving in Sydney in '89, about the time of this interview (stayed until '96) the disdain for QLD public sector was alarming... people from other states were relieved when Goss got in. JBP must have dodged quite a few bullets, I bet the ICAC loved him!
This man got things done and dealt with all the important issues. Now we have so called transparency but just make a subjective application seem like we got the best person for the job.
‘Nao nao nao JANA yew aare wRONG. wRONG wRONG wRONG!!! Yew’v got yer foot on tha sticky pay paypa’ I’m Aussie but my god 😂😭🤷🏽♀️ Sir Joh sounds like how I used to write for a one-thousand word essay. Just adding random tangents in, hoping it’d count 🙅🏽♀️😂
+sliat1981 i will see you in another place..its not a pleasant place with the bull ants ..dont you worry about that,,the cows will come to roost on you,,in that particular area,,hmm
He wasn't indecisive - Joh was extremely well practised in not answering the question. Apparently it was Allan Calligan, his media advisor, who created this media attitude, and it served him very well from 1970 until his death.
sliat1981 Especially in the wake of the Fitzgerald Inquiry, Joh counted on the fact that people would think he was an idiot. If he could convince Queenslanders that he was totally naïve, then it would be believable that he had no idea that his police commissioner (and several senior officers) and three - possibly four - of his cabinet ministers were corrupt. I am convinced that Joh, whilst having done some good for Queensland (abolishing death duties and such), was either stupid or corrupt, and his use of gerrymandering, police thuggery and backroom deals tell me that the man was far from stupid.
I’m too young to remember the headlines the next day but I’m sure it went something like “Sir Joh avoids questions”. This pretty much confirmed his guilt in the public’s eye. Made a fool of himself on National Television For the record he claimed she would be proved completely wrong. She never was. He said he would prove it to her at another time. That never EVER happened. He could not offer counter arguments for one reason: there wasn’t any. He was completely and utterly lying. Every time he was challenged to back himself he backed down. Obviously was lying as he changed what he was saying. A very bad liar too.
Jana. One of the best and fearless journalist ever seen in Australia. Asked sincere questions humbly.This arrogant, rude, corrupt, racist beast was trying his best to threaten her. God bless you Jana
The man who made corruption a household word remembering Clive Palmer done his apprenticeship under Berjerkoff Peterson the old master of corruption taught him well right Clive🤏👁👀🤑
I was working on Sanctuary Cove around this time & you couldn't say anything about Joh, they loved him up there. I had a tank top with him looking like hitler on it, didn't go down well.
@@afistfulofpimples1745 gaol is the old British spelling. Joh went to court to be charged but was deferred by a hung jury when a young national infiltrated the jury pool, it was dramatized in the telemovie 'Johs Jury' , the courts chose not to persue him any longer because of his age and health

To be fair if you see pictures of Queensland before the Joh era and after the Joh era he really put Queensland on the map (economically)
The elections were rigged by gerrymander.

"The former Premier agreed to this interview." Well, of course he bloody did. Would he be there if he refused?!
At least he fronts up to an interview
Aaahhh the great Jana Wendt. We need her now more than ever to burst open the Kitching/Gallagher case.
ACA in 2015 is a very sad shadow of its former self, huh?
NZer here - Ok, I'll fess up and mention that we gave him to you!
I don't know all that much about him except that I've heard a bit about his dodgy stuff.
However, he comes across as a bit of a character in spite of that!
Jana was great. Joh had a large landscape to fill in Queensland back in the day so different today
I Remember this Lady. Nobody got Balls like her Today. True Blue
I wonder if he ever got Jana to that "place" where she wouldn't like being?
I didn't think that porcupines and goannas lived in the same environment...
Yeh.... should have been Ekidna.
@@waynebow-gu7wr Echidna
common for the older generation in rural qld to call ecidna's porcupines
Echidnas and goannas live on my property ih south east Queensland
Wow, QLD have come a long way since being under this clown. As a NZer arriving in Sydney in '89, about the time of this interview (stayed until '96) the disdain for QLD public sector was alarming... people from other states were relieved when Goss got in. JBP must have dodged quite a few bullets, I bet the ICAC loved him!
This man got things done and dealt with all the important issues. Now we have so called transparency but just make a subjective application seem like we got the best person for the job.
A testament to how far ACA has fallen
That brings back a few memories. Old Jo ‘feeding the chooks’. He was a bloody thief and scoundrel, but funnily enough I miss those old days.
You,you,you!!
Jana did a great job at keeping as straight a face as possible under the circumstances 😂
There were a few people she interviewed that got her to smile
he was in the right state, he was as bent as a banana.........
Ohhhhhhhh cool !! Love it. 👍
‘Nao nao nao JANA yew aare wRONG. wRONG wRONG wRONG!!! Yew’v got yer foot on tha sticky pay paypa’ I’m Aussie but my god 😂😭🤷🏽♀️
Sir Joh sounds like how I used to write for a one-thousand word essay. Just adding random tangents in, hoping it’d count 🙅🏽♀️😂
This was a great Fast Forward sketch!
Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.
+sliat1981 -so youre saying we're wrong
+Simonoves simon there you go again, I never said that
+sliat1981 i will see you in another place..its not a pleasant place with the bull ants ..dont you worry about that,,the cows will come to roost on you,,in that particular area,,hmm
Can't decide what he wants to say, keeps changing what he says in mid sentence. How indecisive
He wasn't indecisive - Joh was extremely well practised in not answering the question. Apparently it was Allan Calligan, his media advisor, who created this media attitude, and it served him very well from 1970 until his death.
What? He can't even decide what he wants to say. He avoids the question. He's an idiot
sliat1981 Especially in the wake of the Fitzgerald Inquiry, Joh counted on the fact that people would think he was an idiot. If he could convince Queenslanders that he was totally naïve, then it would be believable that he had no idea that his police commissioner (and several senior officers) and three - possibly four - of his cabinet ministers were corrupt. I am convinced that Joh, whilst having done some good for Queensland (abolishing death duties and such), was either stupid or corrupt, and his use of gerrymandering, police thuggery and backroom deals tell me that the man was far from stupid.
I’m too young to remember the headlines the next day but I’m sure it went something like “Sir Joh avoids questions”. This pretty much confirmed his guilt in the public’s eye. Made a fool of himself on National Television
For the record he claimed she would be proved completely wrong. She never was. He said he would prove it to her at another time. That never EVER happened. He could not offer counter arguments for one reason: there wasn’t any. He was completely and utterly lying. Every time he was challenged to back himself he backed down. Obviously was lying as he changed what he was saying. A very bad liar too.
You are wrong, wrong wrong Jana, this is better than full frontal. Joh, was brilliant satirical fodder.
Only in Queensland / Love it.
Sir Joh..he’s the man of the hour. And so is Jana. The Jana and Joh variety show! 😎👍
People forget what sir Jo did for Queensland he thought up to 50 years ahead.politicians now days think 1 year ahead.
@@juneallan4903 He fucked Queensland up and his years of corruption are still felt through QLD today.
I recall him from the The Crane Index, correct me if wrong
Joh had his own language
If only media was onto our current government like this
Jana. One of the best and fearless journalist ever seen in Australia. Asked sincere questions humbly.This arrogant, rude, corrupt, racist beast was trying his best to threaten her. God bless you Jana
I’m a big fan of Jana Wendy!
The man who made corruption a household word remembering Clive Palmer done his apprenticeship under Berjerkoff Peterson the old master of corruption taught him well right Clive🤏👁👀🤑
I was working on Sanctuary Cove around this time & you couldn't say anything about Joh, they loved him up there. I had a tank top with him looking like hitler on it, didn't go down well.
A bit like the earlier adolf hitler years, or the trump years.
What a character, this guy is hilarious
Jana; nobody could rip the guts out of you w such precision & eloquence
She clearly loves being on the sticky paper 🤣
How this Bloke was never Gaoled is beyond me.
Why don't you spell jail properly.
@@afistfulofpimples1745 gaol is the old British spelling. Joh went to court to be charged but was deferred by a hung jury when a young national infiltrated the jury pool, it was dramatized in the telemovie 'Johs Jury' , the courts chose not to persue him any longer because of his age and health
Only 66,000 views? wow.
I miss Jana.
Premier of Queensland and he didn't know it was an Echidna.
