Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's Georgia among this coffee. This is what ended up
on the cutting room floor today.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Have you ever been to the Museum of Older New
Art in Tazzi Mona love it Hobart. It's it's extraordinary,
it's confronting, it's beautiful, it's ugly, it is quite It's
quite an experience, isn't it. The man who has put
that together, David Walsh's his name is hugely eclectic, as

(00:39):
is his wife, Kersher Koshelle. She has curated a space
in the museum that has been the subject of a
court case. We'll start at the news this is the
brand new news about this court case, and we'll go
back then and explain what the court case was about.
So on Friday, just as Shane Marshall overturn a decision

(01:01):
made by the Tasmanian Civil and Administrative Tribunal that found
that one of their exhibits had been discriminatory. It was
the Lady's Lounge. It was found initially that this had
gone against the state's antidiscrimination Act, but that's recently been
overturned and it's back to a new tribunal. So Kursher Koshell, who,

(01:24):
as I said, is the wife of the owner of Mona.
She was a curator of this space, and essentially it
was a lady's lounge of art where men weren't allowed in.
And that was because the whole point, the whole concept
of this space was about the consistent exclusion of women
from power and privilege. And one man said, how come

(01:45):
I can't go in there? Took it to court and
they were told it was discriminatory, even though the whole
point of it was to show how offensive discrimination is. Yeah,
that's odd, that's the whole point of the point. That's right,
it's showing a mirror in your face. And this guy
said I should be allowed to go in there.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
And the court agreed.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
So this has now been overturned, which is very interesting
and so Kersher has said she's actually quite grateful to
this man who has brought everyone on this journey. She said,
now more than ever, it's important for us to challenge
our perspectives with open interest and refine our understanding. I've
enjoyed every minute of this process because there were great
shots of her and a phalanx of a legal team,

(02:28):
all women, heading into court to say, this.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
Angry man.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Is fighting exactly what the whole point of this exhibition is.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
That's exactly what the point of the exhibition is. That's crazy.
I thought you was soap from there. Yes, yes, thanks
for that.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
It is as my hairdresser says, he is French, and
he said, there's an exhibit of a wall of vagen.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
Which is French word for the downstairs.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
And and it's a great exhibition because it is about
the variety of women's organs and you never see it.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
So women judge themselves because I think there's is weird. Yeah,
I loved it, and I thought you was soap. You
can get choose a soap.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
They also remember they had the pooing machine.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah, and at three o'clock every day it would show
the intricacies of the human gastro intestinal track. And at
three o'clock every day it would do a PLoP. It
smelt like a human PLoP.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
It was just like you did three o'clock. Mine's normally
round four. They didn't have that at the gift shop though,
I would have brought you one of those.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Yeh.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
By the way, I need another soap. My one's run out. Simon.
Put a seatbelt on it.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Okay, kids, that's important.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
Gone back tomorrow on Moral, Chaunsey and Amanda's clothing.
