I was at the Foreman's apartment It was spacious modern with a lot of glass and the kind of view of the bay that you had to pay plenty for Yeah, there was money written all over the place and Marsha Foreman look right at home I'm just having coffee on the terrace. Mr. Dollar. Won't you join me? Oh, thanks. I could use some out here Sure got a beautiful view here. Yes. I never get tired of watching the bay and the ships There's always something going on Well, here you are thanks What is it mr. Dollar?  Yeah Such a grim looking place. Oh, it's a real exclusive club But I managed to get a couple of new members into it I don't think I care for the kind of job you have mr. Dollar trouble wherever you go Suppose we talk about your troubles. All right. I told the police all I know when I filled out the missing persons report But I'll go over it again for you if you don't mind your husband disappeared the night before last. That's right. What time? I'm I'm not sure. Oh around nine o'clock that night. Somebody came to see him a Strange sort of man. How do you mean strange? Well, he was dressed in rough clothes a seaman's jacket. He said he was an old friend of my husband's did he give you his name? Mrs. Foreman only Blinker blinker. Yes, he said that's what everybody called him I guess because he kept blinking his eyes very rapidly. I see well I showed this this blinker person into the den where my husband was and left the two of them together A few minutes later my husband came out and told me he was going to drive blinker downtown and find him a hotel room So I went to bed. I was tired went right to sleep And well my husband and I have adjoining bedrooms When I went in to call him yesterday morning, he was gone the bed it hadn't been slept in I Called his office thinking he might have decided to work late, but they hadn't seen him then you call the police. Yes Mrs. Foreman had your husband ever mentioned this man blinker before No, I'm quite certain he hadn't can you describe him? Well He he wasn't above medium height age. Oh, maybe in the 40s a scar on his right cheek Thin nose and dark rather be the eyes I'm afraid that's the best I can do well considering that you only get a brief look at him I'd say that was a pretty complete description. Mr. Dollar Do you think this person blinker could have done anything to my husband? I don't know, but I'm sure the police are looking for him Just one more question. Mrs. Foreman Suppose blinker had nothing to do with your husband's disappearance. I I'm afraid I don't follow you. Oh, well what I mean is Can you think of any reason any reason at all why your husband might want to disappear? No, Mr. Dollar absolutely not My sure foreman sounded pretty certain of that last answer Maybe just a little bit too certain Expense account Adam to a dollar 80 care fair to the office of an old friend of mine Detective Lieutenant Skapella John or foreman took this character blinker to a hotel. It's no hotel. We ever heard of we've covered them all You think blinker could have killed foreman Possibility what's another? Maybe there is no blinker. Yes, Kipella. I thought about that too General didn't hit you there was something strange about Mrs. Foreman's story She said she let blinker in the apartment. She showed him to the den Now she could have only seen him a couple of minutes yet. She rattled off a complete description of him Sure as a miss Kipella right between the eyes and the way she described. Yeah, I know Seamans jacket beady blinking eyes scar on the right cheek. He sounds real distinctive real distinctive or real fake Trouble is smelling a fakes one thing Proving it's another. What do we got for a motive for one thing 50,000 bucks? She was form and soul beneficiary Interesting that's real interesting Kipella oh Oh What I see Yes, okay. Yes. Yes All right. Thanks, Mr. Arnold John looks like we've got a backup and start all over you mean that was Wayne Arnold That's Foreman's attorney. He had a telephone call this morning from Foreman. No, but from somebody just as interesting Blinker. Yeah Blinker Act two of yours truly Johnny dollar in a moment And now act two of yours truly Johnny dollar and the blinker matters Thanks. Kipella said we had to back up and start all over again Just when we talked ourselves into thinking Marsha Foreman story about Blinker was phony or missing husband's lawyer phone and told us he just heard from Item three a dollar seventy came from the office of Wayne Arnold Foreman's attorney. I Mean him just coming out his door Did you wish to see me mr. Arnold? Yes, I'm Johnny dollar. Oh, yes The insurance investigator Mrs. Foreman told me you'd been questioning her look. I'm sorry, but I'm in rather a hurry I have an appointment and I'm late sorry, but this will only take a minute or two I was in lieutenant's cappella's office when you phoned a while ago about this man blinker mr. Arnold Oh, yes, what did you hear from him? Just a little while ago? I called Marsha Foreman right away and she thought I ought to call it cappella What did blinkers say on the phone? It's a strange conversation sounded nervous Excited almost out of breath Said he wanted money ten thousand dollars if he didn't get it he'd And that's as far as he got he stopped suddenly said he'd contact me later then hung up What do you make of it mr. Dollar? I don't know Could be he's holding Foreman for ransom. That's what it sounded like to me. I take it. You don't know this blinker I never heard of him until Marsha told me about him showing up night before last okay Just one more thing mr. Arnold. How long have you been Foreman's attorney? Three four years why any reason you know of why he might want to disappear? None that I can think of another woman maybe I doubt it very much about his important business as far as I know It's an excellent shape Thanks, mr. Arnold Mr. Dollar yeah This man blinker Why would he have it in for Andrew Foreman? Good question. I know Sorry, I don't have an answer to it. I went down the elevator and outside I stopped at the corner to get some cigarettes and that was my first lucky break Because just as I was leaving the counter. I saw Arnold come outside And the way he looked up and down the street made it plain he wanted to see if anybody was watching him He got into his car and drove off. I grabbed a taxi that's item four and trailing He drove into Golden Gate Park and stopped. I got out down the road and worked my way toward him behind some bushes Pretty soon a woman came over and got into his car. I couldn't hear what they were saying But I didn't need to because when I saw the kiss I got the message The woman was Marsha form I Went back into town and waited for Marsha outside her apartment door. She showed up about half an hour later. I mr. Dollar What is it? Is something wrong? Yeah, something's real wrong, Mrs. Forman. I want to talk to you.  There's no such person is there What you and I know made it up. I know that's not true. What about you and I know Mrs. Forman? I don't know what you're talking about.  Oh That yeah Well, all right, mr. Dollar Wayne Arnold and I have We've been in love for some time. Did your husband know I'm not sure we were trying to find the right time to tell him I don't think he'd really have cared very much. Oh My husband and I haven't gotten along very well the last year or two. I Guess I really didn't know him when I married him Mr. Dollar this has nothing to do with my husband's disappearance. You must believe that that's all I Didn't make up the story about blinker. I didn't kill my husband if that's what you're thinking has he been killed? I I don't know you you've got me confused if you didn't do it. How about Arnold? No, you'd have no reason Sorry, he wasn't even in town the night before like I can check that I know you can Mrs. Forman Maybe you're telling me the truth and maybe you're not sooner or later. I'm gonna find out which I am telling you the truth Then can you give me any reason at all why your husband has disappeared? There's There's one possibility mr. Dollar It might have something to do with his importing business. What's that mean? my husband Well, he seems to have made a lot of money out of his importing business More than the kind of thing he usually imports with warrants. What does he import so trinkets? Curios from the Orient mostly? Have you a key to your husband's office? Yes, let me have it. I want to take a look around I Went over the papers in Foreman's office and found out his last ship and had come in three days ago on the Indian Princess Mrs. Forman had said blinker was wearing a seaman's jacket. I Headed for the waterfront but the ship was gone Near the pier was a beat-up eating place called Gus's Cafe a Woman with an apron came over. She was about six feet tall and almost that wide What can I do for you buddy? I want to talk to the owner Gus. That's me Your Gus short for gassy. What's on your mind buddy Johnny Johnny dollar. I want some information You a cop buddy. No, I'm not a cop.  You know any of the sailors from her about all of them. They all come in here Hey, look I see got okay Gus you ever happen to hear of a sailor named blinker Sure, you know him sure about medium-height scar on the right cheek blinks his eyes all the time I said I know him. What do you want Napa David? Oh, I'll guess he are the most beautiful thing It's happening to me all day That's what they all tell me buddy flattery don't get him a thing might help you though You're kind of cute. Yeah, look did blinker sail on the Indian Princess? No, then where is he? Fact is I don't know blinkers disappeared Act three of yours truly Johnny dollar in a moment And now act three of yours truly Johnny dollar and the blinker matters And you don't have any idea where blinker is now Gus not the slightest buddy. Oh great And I'm right back where I started from Blinker was mixed up in something more right. What do you mean? The Indian Princess docked the other night blinker come in here for a cup of coffee That's one thing the sailors around here all miss when they're out to see my coffee There's no one makes coffee like me why there's nobody on the whole yeah. Yeah, I know about blinker now Seem pretty pleased with his cell said he was on to something good. Did he say what he meant by that? No, it's that they're looking pleased with the cell. Oh, yeah, he showed me the elephant said it was gonna make him a lot of money What elephants he had a carved elephant about six inches high must have picked it up somewhere. Maybe it was gonna sell it I don't know hmm Foreman imported Curios from the Orient his last shipment came in on the Indian Princess That elephant could have been part of it foreman who's he and never mind Well, I wonder where I go from here I wonder what I'm gonna do with all blinker stuff if you don't show up for it. Maybe I'm What did you say about blinkers stuff? What stuff? I got a back room where I let the boys keep their gear when they're sure you've got blinkers things there now Why didn't you tell me you never asked me in the back room? I went through blinker seabag near the bottom I found a carved elephant an ordinary looking elephant until I twisted one of the legs loose It was hollow and inside a little paper packet full of white powder Suddenly the whole deal slid into place and just as suddenly the whole deal made me slightly sick Now I wanted to see the rest of those elephants real bad According to the records in Foreman's office. The shipment was in a warehouse. I went outside. No, but it appeared Look, look, I'm in a hurry. Thanks for everything. I'll see you later Over here near the pier the body all right one of the boys just fished it out of the water I sent him to call the cops Looks like it's been in the water quite a few hours Gus Yeah It's blinker all right. I knew I had to work for us now I headed out on the pier for the warehouse once. I thought I heard footsteps somewhere behind me. I stopped and listened There's no sound It was dark inside the warehouse with the help of matches. I located Foreman's shipment I took a crowbar and over one of the crates.  I picked up one of them Yeah, it had a hollow leg and the hollow leg was full of the same white powder I hit the floor fast the shot had come from over near the door. I eased my gun out and waited five 10 minutes went by I Kept quiet Then suddenly a shadow loomed up near the crates. We saw each other at the same time my shoulder. Oh, well The missing man himself Andrew Foreman look, I found out what you were importing in those carved elephants He tried to blackmail. I don't know what you're talking about.   I was involved You know Foreman it doesn't much matter You've got even bigger troubles than that staring in the face. I don't understand Blinker's body has been recovered from the bay. I wouldn't know anything about that. You've got no proof of that either No, there were two bullet holes in blinker Five will get you ten the slugs in him came from this gun of yours the gun. Yeah, this is something that can be proved Well, all right, I just didn't have any choice Item five a hundred and eighty three dollars even transportation and incidentals home Expense account total four hundred thirty four dollars fifty cents remarks Andrew Foreman made a complete statement to the police. I'm out of case against him is open and shut So it looks like he's going to beat the narcotics rap after all the hard way yours truly Johnny dolly Johnny dollars starring Bob Bailey originates in Hollywood and is produced and directed by Jack John Stone Today's story was written by Robert Stanley Herd in our cast with Paula Winslow, DJ Thompson, Harry Bartels, Stacey Harris, Vic Perrin and Bob Bruce Be sure to join us next week same time and station for another exciting story of yours truly Johnny dollar, this is Roy Rowan speaking come to you through the worldwide Facilities of the United States Armed Forces radio and television service


During a press conference held on Tuesday in the Iraqi capital Baghdad, the United Nations Iraq envoy Jehani Harris Plashad discussed Iraq's early parliamentary elections. It's to be held on October 10. Also discussed was the U.S. electoral support mission in Iraq. The world is watching closely, like the Iraqi people, nobody wishes to see a repetition of the events in 2018, said Harris Plashad, who serves both as the special representative of the United Nations Secretary General in Iraq and the head of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq. An election law passed by parliament at the end of 2019 allows voters to elect individual lawmakers instead of choosing from party lists. The world is watching closely. Like the Iraqi people, nobody wishes to see a repetition of the events in 2018. In other words, the importance of credible Iraqi elections is widely recognized. What we do know is that in 2018, political parties did interfere and did distort, force or shape the election results. What we're doing now is to design processes, I mean in support of IAC, and again we are just supporting and advising, is to organize the processes and systems in such a way that this is no longer possible. A new electoral system has been put in place. Voters will now vote for individuals, not just for political parties.


Welcome back my lovely little pixelated friends this one is the top 30 arcade conversions to the humble ZX Spectrum. Now I know what you're thinking Mark these games are over 30 years old why are you talking about them well the classics never die and this top 30 I've presented for you is no exception. Now once upon a time gaming was all about the ZX Spectrum. Now I don't know about you but back in the day I spent more hours on my ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC than I cared to admit so when I got the chance to relive those glory days and share them with you all I jumped at it and any excuse I get to talk about the games and the sheer joy of this iconic machine in my book that's time well spent.  Sinclair's new ZX Spectrum action pack has a powerful 128k home computer a joystick six very different games and a deadly accurate light gun. Now to keep those droids on the run the new Sinclair action pack puts the set back into computers. So let me tell you about Raston on the ZX Spectrum it was a proper little gem it really was. The way the little chap would run and jump and hack his way through the hordes of monsters was just a joy to behold. The game designers really knew what they were doing the graphics were top-notch and the gameplay was absolutely addictive. I remember spending hours on end playing Raston and I never once got bored it's a proper little belter it really is. Now this is one that really gets the adrenaline pumping now I know some people might say that the graphics and sound effects were a bit basic and they'd be right but you know what it didn't matter the gameplay was so addictive and exciting you didn't even notice you always felt like you were racing against someone though even when you were playing on your own and that's what makes a great racing game I think the sense of competition and of course it's best played in the arcade but even this ZX Spectrum conversion will get your heart racing and your competitive spirit fighter. Oh flipping love this game Shadow Warriors now this wasn't a game you could just breeze through you had to work for your victories and that's what makes a great fighting game a great action game a great ninja game the sense of challenge which is pretty much every ninja game ever released and even today it'll test your skills and keep you on the edge of your seat so for me personally in my humble opinion it's a real classic and it's one I'll probably still be playing years from now. I loved Super Hang-On on the ZX Spectrum I love racing games especially bike racing games and back in the 80s they didn't come much better much faster than Sega's Super Hang-On you were literally racing around the arcade tracks at Brettneck speeds and yes there was a good sense of speed in fact the only thing missing was the feel of wind passing through your hair so Super Hang-On for me was all about going as fast as you could and the rush you got when you hit that top speed it was just incredible I'd love to know what the arcade accurate conversion rate is for the ZX Spectrum because nearly every game I play is freaking awesome now I know what you're thinking not another racing game and I know the graphics were a bit basic like something you'd see on an old calculator or something and the sound effects well they weren't anything to write home about either but the thing is the gameplay was actually kind of fun as you do you have to keep your car on the track and avoid the other races and that was the real challenge now I've got to say the graphics were pretty good for the time I mean it's no PlayStation 5 or anything but it's not bad and I'm sure the version I used to play had music and the sound effects don't make you want to stick a fork in your ears and the thing is the gameplay was actually really fun it did get pretty challenging after a while though the difficulty level kept ramping up and some of the levels were really hard but I guess that just made it more satisfying when you finally beat them yet another great arcade conversion where you've got to dodge bullets and blow up the bad guys now I know what you're thinking it's not exactly time crisis or anything but you'll just have to take my word for it this was an absolute belter back in the day and it's on the list because I think Cabell on the ZX Spectrum is a decent game it's not the best shooter map I know but it's it's not the worst either and if you're into your arcade-style games and you're looking for something to kill some time give it a go just don't expect too much from the graphics and sound department now I'm not sure if this would make anybody's top list for arcade conversions but I really like it you play as a cop who's trying to take down a bunch of drug dealers and criminals and you've got to do this all kinds of weapons from pistols to rocket launchers it's proper Rambo Stallone stuff it's like you're in your own little action movie so it's a great game it's got all the core elements of a classic arcade shooter there's intense action it's challenging there's epic boss battles and if you're into the old-school games and you're looking for a real challenge give it a go I've played gauntly on absolutely every system known to man naturally I prefer the arcade version but the ZX Spectrum and the Amstrad CPC arcade conversions for me are absolutely fantastic I kid you not it had everything you could want in a game graphics it was surprisingly good for the spectrum smooth controls and an infinite supply of enemies to mow down gauntlet also came with a multiplayer mode practically unheard of back in a day four players join bub and bob they're on the rob it was a game that was so good it was like a warm blanket on a winter's night a cross between Super Mario and bubble bath except instead of water you had dragons and bubbles it was cute and it's still lovable and even now the controls are really tight and responsive and the gameplay is simple yet still addictive it's like trying to stop eating a bag of skittles after just one handful now let's talk about one of the coolest games to ever hit the ZX Spectrum chase HQ now if you know me you'll know that I love speed and excitement and this game has it all you play as a police officer chasing down criminals in a high-speed car chase you'll need to maneuver your car through traffic take tight turns and catch up to your targets before they get away so let's buckle up and take a ride into the world of chase HQ to start off I must say this is intense you basically play as a soldier on a mission to rescue hostages and take down enemy forces you have to shoot your way through waves of enemies while dodging their bullets and grenades it's not easy but it's incredibly satisfying when you finally complete a level it's like your living room has been transformed into a war zone and even today it's a thrilling pulse panic experience that should in theory even today keep you on the edge of your seat oh god I love Bob Jack but what really sets Bob Jack apart is its gameplay it's a perfect balance of strategy and reflexes like a game of chess played at warp speed you'll need to plan your moves carefully to collect all the bombs in the right order but you'll also need lightning fast reflexes to avoid the enemies that keep trying to stop you but honestly play it once and you'll be hooked faster than a fish on a line now first off I must admit I'm not really a sports person myself per se I'm more of a cream tea sort of guy but even so hypersports is a pretty good game and the best part is you don't even have to be good at sports to enjoy it in fact I'm quite rubbish at most events but I still had a while of a time playing this so if you are a couch potato like me there's something here for everyone so put on your sweatbands grab your joystick and let's get sporty what a fantastic game now Arkanoid is one of those games that takes us right back to the 1980s the mullets were all the rage and neon was king so this game is just pure fun it's like a time capsule from the 1980s when everything was loud and colorful and a little bit cheesy and when you hit that power-up that gives you a bigger paddle or multiple balls I mean it's like finding a hidden stash if you know what and the sound is good as well it's all bleeps and bloops that make you feel like you're in a cheesy sci-fi movie oh my this one is a proper blast from the past you must punch kick and headbutt your way through hordes of bad guys using every trick in the book it's one of the best nights out you can have on a zX Spectrum and then there's the music oh the sweet music renegade's theme tune is an absolute banger it's like a cross between the rocky theme and unskinny bop but get this I've been rescuing the same woman for three decades now you can't have a top specky arcade conversions without commander yes it's like Rambo but without the muscles or the head buns but the thing about commando on the zX Spectrum or any arcade conversion is that it's really hard I mean seriously hard you're gonna die a lot but that's okay because the death is just part of the game part of the experience you respawn and you keep going like a little digital phoenix rising from the ashes ah spy hunter now the graphics are a bit basic I won't lie to you but that's to be expected with a game from the 1980s the sound effects are decent I'm not sure they had much to the overall experience but let me tell you there's nothing quite like the feeling of smashing through a barricade and taking out a whole bunch of enemy cars in one go and we can all see for ourselves it might not be the flashiest or the most sophisticated game out there but it's a lot of fun and it'll give you a taste of what gaming was like way back in the day first of all the graphics are quite impressive for the zX Spectrum colorful backgrounds and characters really pop out the animation is not the smoothest but it's well done but what I appreciate about Rainbow Islands is that it's a challenging game but not in a frustrating way so I think Rainbow Islands is a really solid game for the zX Spectrum and it's got great graphics fun gameplay and a unique mechanic that sets it quite apart from other platformers and it must be good because I can't stop playing it some two three decades later and my kids like it as well oh Green Beret on another day this could have been number one but trust me this is difficult I have to admit though right from the get go you really do feel like you're on a mission deep behind enemy lines and there's never a dull moment but essentially this is a game where split second decisions can make all the difference and trust me if you ever finally make it to the end and take out the final boss there's a real sense of accomplishment it's got everything you could want in a war themed action game and more the 80s and early 90s were obsessed with bouncing balls and after revisiting this recently I can see why the first time I ever played this was on an Amstrad GX 4000 and that blew me away I know I'm serious though I'm being deadly serious it was brilliant and like that version it's simple but addictive and as you progress through the levels it gets proper tricky but the thing that really sets this one apart is the two player mode so get a mate round and you'll be laughing your heads off as you try to pop each other's bubbles UN squadron is a classic arcade style shooter game but still holds up today with its tight controls great graphics and sound variety of missions and planes and a high replay value it's easy to see why this game was such a hit back in the day if you are a fan of shooter games or just looking for fun and challenging gameplay then I highly recommend giving UN squadron a try now I don't know if it's just me but the graphics look absolutely fantastic I mean come on this was 1990 on a ZX Spectrum now I was never a fan of Enduro Racer in the arcade yes it had the novelty because of the handlebars and this that and the other but it was the ZX Spectrum where I really enjoyed it the most like most games there's a few downsides the sound is a bit weak and the difficulty can be a bit unforgiving what mistake and you'll be right up against it but when you consider the thrill of the ride these are just minequibbles there's absolutely no doubt in my mind that this is one of the best arcade conversions to the ZX Spectrum now Flying Shark is another classic shooter that'll have you hooked in no time and this is one of those games where you'll need to upgrade your weapons and power-ups if you are to stand anything that resembles a chance it's a cracking game on the ZX Spectrum it's got great graphics solid sound and addictive gameplay and it's a classic shooter mug that's well worth your time even today what a fantastic arcade conversion for the Humble ZX Spectrum now don't let the graphics fool you this game packs a serious punch and I can't work out which one I prefer this or Goals and Ghost they're both unbelievable arcade conversions and I played the tape out of both of them but I think this is the one I always went back to the most and this one well both really and not for the faint-hearted extremely tough games and it's not for everyone if you're looking for an easy ride you're in the wrong place I had Bionic Commando for the Amstrad CPC but it was a bit of a disaster for one it was bugged as hell two you had to wade through like treacle and three there was no music but there's a forfe as well the end of level boss you couldn't beat it was bugged damn you to hell you are scald but on the ZX Spectrum it was a completely different game all together and one of the best arcade conversions I've ever played talking about one of the best arcade conversions ever played how about this one Midnight Resistance I'll tell you what the ZX Spectrum when it came to arcade conversions lived a charmed life honestly on any other day this could have been number one easily without question this is the best we could have hoped for from the standard run and gun style shoot-em-up sure I could point out a few things but really considering the whole package I'd just been nitpicking so repeat after me I love this game Cowabunga dudes it's pizza time easily one of the best one of the best games that I've ever played I just can't get enough of it I'm absolutely mad for it and it plays just like the arcade original I've got no idea how the programmers even pulled something like this off it's games like this that stopped delayed me from upgrading to 16-bit because with games like this this quality the 8 bits were still a viable gaming platform let me add affordable to that Ikari Warriors is why it's probably impossible to do a list like this the quality of these arcade conversions are just too good the quality is there for everybody to see it's a fantastic game brilliant graphics it's got the speed of the arcade original in fact all of these games are a testament to not only the ZX Spectrum hardware but also to the clever buggers banging away at the keyboard that produce these results so what an unbelievable back catalog of arcade conversions the humble ZX Spectrum has got it had to be it had to be didn't it Bobpapes R-Type it has no equal it's a one in a million on the ZX Spectrum the likes will never see or witness again so I hope you've enjoyed this video if you did please like subscribe leave a comment or a big massive thank you right I've got to go I'm absolutely shattered this video took what feels like a millennia to make so until next time bye


You've now got a copy of an email from the National Symbols Office to a media outlet suggesting that They stop Using a version of the Commonwealth coat of arms, which as you can see is heavily modified And in fact it even has on that coat of arms not the real logo The head of the EMU and the kangaroo are surveillance cameras and the word Australia and is spelled I L I E N that's pretty clearly satire isn't it? Well, it all depends senator if you look at it carefully. I'd agree with you, but of course When it comes to the kind of material with which this bill is concerned What one is can dealing with our Circumstances in which it is unlikely that Recipients of the material will look at it closely. So thank you Attorney as you'll see in this email from the National Symbols officer in the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet They've asked the relevant media authority to cease using this logo to avoid That media company being mistaken for the Australian government The issue I mean if I if I saw this in my letterbox today, I didn't look carefully at it I'd probably think that's the coat of arms, but if I look carefully at it I'd realize it wasn't so clearly satire as you said earlier It's only clearly satire if you study it. Yes, and I'm not asking you to I looked at it and thought it was the accurate thing until So it's tested by what I thought I would decide is in all the circumstances or whether a Regional person would be capable of being led by how do you tell the difference between genuine satire and non-genuine? So that's a matter for the courts But but you're the one time you're the one bring forward the legislation Yeah, well, we have defined when you must have thought about this as you're driving and we have in the in the legislation Put in the appropriate reasonable tests of reasonableness the application of those tests is always a matter for the courts Well again, what test does one apply to tell the difference between genuine satire and non-genuine satire? Well, there's a prior question and the question is Whether a person in all the circumstances is reasonably capable of being misled and that is a question for the courts Isn't there a risk here that's something like this which as you've Accepted if it's examined closely it could not be found to be anything other than satirical in it If it's examined closely they're looking at it from the distance that I am from you as you hold it up there It just looks like the coat of arms. So that's why I say I might say more about your eyesight than anything else Well, it just looks like the coat of arms, but if you look at it closely, obviously it's It does it's not the coat of arms and it does it does have a satirical flavor So that's why I keep saying it all depends on that applying the test of reasonableness in the circumstances And that's not a matter parliamentary committees. It's a matter for courts. Tonya. I'll go again If you don't mind as as to why you have the words genuine in the offense And what is the difference between every day run of the mill satire and genuine satire and or non-genuine satire? Well, I think that's a very good question senator, which perhaps is best left to a legislative draftsman or to the courts, but I think the word the adjective Is been included by the draftsman to emphasize the fact that it doesn't apply to satire Yes, but it has the word genuine in front of it. That's the adjective to which I'm referring Well, I'm no clearer about any difference between genuine satire and non-genuine satire But lest those proceedings be considered by someone observing to be descending into the satirical Senator McKim neither you nor I are legislative draftsman and But we are legislators both of them indeed and so the choice of the adjective genuine to qualify the noun Satire is a choice by the legislative draftsman, which I assume was made for the purposes of emphasis But this bill has not been progressed through the Senate yet And I'll make a middle note to myself to clarify that issue in my second reading. All right. Thank you attorney
