OK, maybe like 10%, if that. So OK, I was going to put a question that that goes to that. And so, if most of the audience hasn't heard that, so, it's probably fine to go into a little bit of detail. The difference between stenography or just repeating what's being fed to you: The official cover story. And the actual purpose of a facility, a spy base like Pine Gap came through really strongly in that story. There's a cover story which says Pine Gap is about this, then there's the reality and that that piece was a tie up between the Intercept and the ABC. So, from your point of view and maybe, I guess, with some bearing on the kind of journalism that you do and that you just introduced to us now, what is that particular story tell us about the Australian government's role in the Australian defence industry's role in what's actually happening in the world?

Printed "people", the speaker says "audience"

Explanation: Listen for "most of the audience hasn't". The printed word "people" starts with a different first letter, so listen to the whole word.

Printed "studios", the speaker says "stenography"

Explanation: You will hear "The difference between stenography or". Both words start with the same first letter, so wait for the rest of the word.

Printed "Grove", the speaker says "Gap"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "a spy base like Pine Gap". The printed word "Grove" is much longer, so listen for the short word.

Printed "Intervention", the speaker says "Intercept"

Explanation: Listen again to "tie up between the Intercept and". Both words start with the same first letter, so follow the whole name.

Printed "interacted", the speaker says "introduced"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "you just introduced to us now". Both printed and spoken words end the same, so listen to the middle of the word.

Printed "leading", the speaker says "defence"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "the Australian defence industry's role". The printed word "leading" does not fit the meaning here, so trust your ears.

Printed "going", the speaker says "happening"

Explanation: The speaker says "what's actually happening in the world", not "going". Both words end the same, so listen to the start to tell them apart.

"ABC" matches the audio

Explanation: "tie up between the Intercept and the ABC" is a short name. The speaker says it exactly as printed. Do not click it.

"Pine" matches the audio

Explanation: "a spy base like Pine Gap" sits next to a changed word that may draw your eye. The speaker says "Pine" exactly, so do not click it.
