Not sure why the algorithm brought this up, but for anyone who is interested what this actually about, in 1999, there was an agreement between CARE Australia and CIDA, to send some aid workers who were ex military to Yugoslavia to keep an eye on things on the ground. The aid workers got arrested for spying and were eventually released, causing a bit of a shitstorm as we can see in the video.
They were totally spies, and everyone knows it, to make things perfectly clear. Steve Pratt, mentioned in the interview, was one of those arrested and will sue anyone who suggests he was a spy. There is a perfectly innocent explanation for why his email communications transmitted over the open internet contained extensive detail on battles, troop movements and other operational matters, which his lawyers will explain to you if you like.

Malcolm Fraser didn't require rescuing. He was a seasoned politician with proven PR skills. What effrontery to presume you need to step in when a former prime minister is being interviewed.
Nah, Fraser, the silly goose, was WRONG and the PR guy knew that Fraser's comments would echo endlessly and the PR guy would have a HUGE job to mend it.
The man wasn’t his client, the company the man worked for was the PR companies client, but not the man himself. Imagine your boss’s, boss sends a PR guy down for a meeting you’re in. The PR is not there to protect you but the company, you’re expendable in comparison to your boss’s boss and the company as a whole.
As a footnote to all of this, Anthony (the adviser/intervener in this clip) had been briefed by his PR handlers to give Malcolm Fraser the razor should he get too deep into the Canadian/Australian CARE debacle. So he spiked the interview. Coincidentally, Anthony later ended up owning a bottled water company which was given the contract to supply CARE with water to be distributed to impoverished nations but the company went bankrupt after it was discovered that it had been tapping into free water that had meant to be going to Carlton Breweries for their beer production. He went on to start up a PR firm which was contracted to provide advertising for many major firms including a very large trouser manufacturing business which sold pants to famous Commonwealth dignitaries. It was called the Memphis Trouser Company. Unfortunately for Anthony, Fraser stole the limelight by pulling a trouser stunt whilst attending an apparel marketing and advertising seminar in the United States. The pants company was so impressed by the stunt that they awarded the advertising contract to Frasers firm. Anthony left the water and PR field, and became an internationally acclaimed ventriloquist.
PR guy is an employee. Fraser is Chairman. Chairman can convene a board meeting to get a board resolution to fire the CEO / National Director. But only the National Director (who was being defended by the PR guy) can fire ordinary employees.

Malcom Fraser was just a typical Liberal who stole the position of PM from one of the best PMs we had. and did get caught literally with his pants down.
It happens all the time out of shot of the camera the PR person would be tugging on the cameraman's sleeve or the interviewers elbow mouthing shut up, and signalling to the interviewee to stop. Regardless of how senior they are, I once threw a PR manager out of the room when I was working on a job.
I have a similar story. I was with the director (was camera) and we were in the car park ready to set up. Saw the interviewees who must have just parked walk towards the building. They absolutely lost their collective marbles at each other. It was like watching a scene out of a movie. Then they walked in the building. We then walked in a minute later and they were so calm and collected as if the incident outside didn't even happen. That always stuck in my mind. How they can keep it just under the surface and project something totally different to what is underneath.
In USA and many countries today the interviewer is a PR person by proxy to the politician they're interviewing. Extremely rarely is an interview an actual interview - rather damage control.
Have no idea why a 14 year old video popped up in my RUclips suggestions. How does RUclips algorithm works and seemingly promotes some videos over others more relevant or worthy? BTW, CIDA (now called Global Affairs Canada) is totally a Canadian government agency, and their webpages are hosted on the Government of Canada's website. How much more part of the Canadian government can you get? What was the PR guy trying to get at or prove, or was he just massively mistaken?
Yes, that born-to-rule sense of absolute entitlement was faked well. It helps if you believe you are superior. Assume you're entitled to lead and the sheep will, too.
The crucial bit here was the misdirection by the interviewer over the recording of the interruption - nicely done - there was no fucking way he was losing that .
Nope! Anthony obviously did what he was told to do by another (higher?) authority. The old guy seems to have missed the memo. If Anthony was in fact the old gentleman's PR then I do agree with you, cause they are both telling different stories.

A failure of a man.
Politicians don't like when their staff interrupt during interviews, it breaks the illusion that the politician is making decisions instead of a whole team of people making decisions and the politician being the public face of it. As the old quote goes "politics is show business for ugly people", and in this show the writer came onto the stage and corrected his actor in front of the audience.
@mj It's not a conspiracy it's well established that most of the moves a big politician makes are carefully planned by a team of staffers and every word of their speeches and interviews are written by PR managers. Doesn't matter if he wasn't serving in an elected office, he was still the public face of an organisation which is very similar to elected office.
I’m curious bc while the interruption was obviously not the right thing to do, I suspect Anthony was trying to protect the man being interviewed. I don’t know enough about any of these people or what they are discussing but it reminds me of the Mongolian proverb about the hawk knocking the cup from his masters hand before he takes a drink from a contaminated spring. The Mongolian eventually kills his hawk only to discover too late that it was trying to save his life.
Chuck Solutions, Well, learned something new for today, will now be able to lie down. I learn at least one new thing per day ( and yes, you Know ignoramus laugh at someone learning one thing per day, so i always ask them what they have learnt today. Never, not once, was any idiot able to do anything but stand there confused, bewildered and shagrinned. Fools ...). So thank you for the Mongolian moral story . . .
He wasn't of substance, he was of pathological ambition. He gained power by back-stabbing his colleagues and playing dirty. A patrician accent & condescending manner are not proof of substance.
Lacking a contextual understanding, I cannot judge whether this aide's interruption served a moral, public interest greater than his own interest in retaining his job.
Yep exactly my thoughts! He's there to give the interview a certain narrative / direction. He is obviously put there by some other authority. I don't think the guy doesn't even have to power to fire him. The old guy is angry at Anthony as a proxy and therefore angry at the people who put Anthony there.
@@boogie4943 Well mate, no, nor did I. But I'm 67. I voted Gough in in 72. He saved me from conscription for Vietnam. So Gough was my hero in the subsequent years. Fraser (and the CIA) booted Gough out in 75. I didn't vote then and *have never voted in any fkn state or federal election ever since* . So I had some serious hate towards Frazer and his party for MANY DECADES. But, when Gough eventually befriended Frazer, hatchets were buried, and when Frazer shifted to be quite anti-LNP, and took up humanitarian work, yes, I found a new respect for him. So forgiveness and redemption ARE POSSIBLE! But that little Johhny Howard c**t I will never forgive, and might even make a pilgramage to spit on his grave. Even Frazer, in his later years, called Howard "a nasty little c**t" ... so he's OK by me!
@@boogie4943 Nah, sorry, but I did once hear the off-mic recording of it at some Liberal gathering, maybe 15 years ago, maybe around the children overboard episide. I remember Frazer was publically livid at Howard's lies and cruelty to innocents. It was soon after that the party dumped him! A tick in my books.
@@slopeeyedgook67 Oh come on man. Just because one idiot dislikes some other idiot does not make the former ok. You made no case for what made Howard "a good man" except that he disliked your enemies. Do you have anything more authentic to say?

Not sure why Fraser felt the need to behave like that. PR guy is there for a reason, to monitor the interview - causing a scene just makes the whole situation worse for no reason at all.
WHAT’S THIS GUY’S(INTERVIEWER) NAME?? I get excited because I’ve seen his face before and I’ve always thought of his face when I think of Australian people mostly because he’s got a huge head and so I’ve always assumed most Aussies have big ass heads just like this guy here

And ironically, he's not the tallest Aussie PM. His predecessor, Gough Whitlam has that distinction as he is 1cm taller than Fraser.
Man I’m chairman of a small charity event and I have a little weasel giving me the same hard time as well. GEEZ
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
A gentleman. RIP.
Anthony
Poor Anthony. His mummy and daddy didn't mind him shouting as a child..😆
We need more Frasers in the world today.
He was ok, but not in the same league has the great John Howard.
@@oldhippie81Malcolm was light years a head of John Howard. Malcolm would never have been duped by Bush regarding ‘weapons of mass destruction’. Bush, Howard and Blair should have been prosecuted by the ICC in The Hague.
A Fraser has finally won an Oscar.
@@oldhippie81 John Howard. Arsehole grade One. Falsely claimed refugee children were jumping overboard from little fishing boats so that our navy would rescue them and bring them to Australia. Refused to say sorry that our early settlers and police forces committed genocide to the original people, preferring the phrase "a regrettable time" or similar, and now is resisting the Aboriginal Voice to Parliament. A failure of a man.
' Do not make sense and spreak facts in my interview'
Why is the RUclips algorithm recommending this one right now?
Promise kept. Nothing recorded.
Politicians don't like when their staff interrupt during interviews, it breaks the illusion that the politician is making decisions instead of a whole team of people making decisions and the politician being the public face of it. As the old quote goes "politics is show business for ugly people", and in this show the writer came onto the stage and corrected his actor in front of the audience.
@mj It's not a conspiracy it's well established that most of the moves a big politician makes are carefully planned by a team of staffers and every word of their speeches and interviews are written by PR managers. Doesn't matter if he wasn't serving in an elected office, he was still the public face of an organisation which is very similar to elected office.
@@redplanet2720 Fraser wasn't a puppet. That's where you were wrong.
“If you don’t eat your meat, ya can’t have any pudding”!!
How can you have any pudding, if ya don't eat your meat!
For anyone familiar with the British comedy series Dad's Army... this is like Private Pike interrupting Captain Mainwaring! "You Stupid Boy..."
When you can’t explain why the front fell off.
The guy that ended the White Australia Policy and set it on the path to becoming a Chinese colony. What a legacy.
Classic Malcolm Fraser lol 😂😂😂
I’m curious bc while the interruption was obviously not the right thing to do, I suspect Anthony was trying to protect the man being interviewed.
I don’t know enough about any of these people or what they are discussing but it reminds me of the Mongolian proverb about the hawk knocking the cup from his masters hand before he takes a drink from a contaminated spring. The Mongolian eventually kills his hawk only to discover too late that it was trying to save his life.
Chuck Solutions,
Well, learned something new for today, will now be able to lie down. I learn at least one new thing per day ( and yes, you Know ignoramus laugh at someone learning one thing per day, so i always ask them what they have learnt today. Never, not once, was any idiot able to do anything but stand there confused, bewildered and shagrinned. Fools ...).
So thank you for the Mongolian moral story . . .
I thought he was gonna say Anthony... you're fired!
Trump certainly would have done that.
The age when people of substance held high office. All gone now, like Antony 5 minutes after this interview finished
He wasn't of substance, he was of pathological ambition. He gained power by back-stabbing his colleagues and playing dirty. A patrician accent & condescending manner are not proof of substance.
Fancy that arrogant boy interrupting an interview with a highly experienced politician and experienced PM! And I’m no fan of Fraser.
Daaaaamn son. If you have a problem with what he's saying then you can get interviewed next. And then the PM can set off camera and interrupt you.
Wow Fraser got royally pissed, can't blame him really.
He was as sober as a judge.
So what's the story now in retrospect of Anthony?
I bet that guy felt like when your father scolds you.
This would make great live television.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Lacking a contextual understanding, I cannot judge whether this aide's interruption served a moral, public interest greater than his own interest in retaining his job.
PR be like "You shouldn't interrupt me"
Also PR "You should've interrupted me"
Anthony obviously answers to a higher power
Yep exactly my thoughts!
He's there to give the interview a certain narrative / direction.
He is obviously put there by some other authority. I don't think the guy doesn't even have to power to fire him. The old guy is angry at Anthony as a proxy and therefore angry at the people who put Anthony there.
Bloody conspirativist!
It would have been nice if they'd made clear what this is actually about.....
Shut up, PM, when your PR manager is speaking ☝️
Can someone please tell me which guy in the video Antony works for
anthony doesnt work for anyone anymore
Couldn't he CIDA difference? 🙄
Post The Dismissal, Fraser did become a seriously honourable man.
Never thought I'd see the words "seriously honourable" and "Fraser" in the same sentence.
@@boogie4943
Well mate, no, nor did I.
But I'm 67. I voted Gough in in 72. He saved me from conscription for Vietnam. So Gough was my hero in the subsequent years.
Fraser (and the CIA) booted Gough out in 75. I didn't vote then and *have never voted in any fkn state or federal election ever since* . So I had some serious hate towards Frazer and his party for MANY DECADES.
But, when Gough eventually befriended Frazer, hatchets were buried, and when Frazer shifted to be quite anti-LNP, and took up humanitarian work, yes, I found a new respect for him. So forgiveness and redemption ARE POSSIBLE!
But that little Johhny Howard c**t I will never forgive, and might even make a pilgramage to spit on his grave. Even Frazer, in his later years, called Howard "a nasty little c**t" ... so he's OK by me!
@@thedolphin5428 Can you reproduce any evidence of Fraser saying that about John Howard?
@@boogie4943
Nah, sorry, but I did once hear the off-mic recording of it at some Liberal gathering, maybe 15 years ago, maybe around the children overboard episide. I remember Frazer was publically livid at Howard's lies and cruelty to innocents. It was soon after that the party dumped him! A tick in my books.
@@slopeeyedgook67
Oh come on man. Just because one idiot dislikes some other idiot does not make the former ok. You made no case for what made Howard "a good man" except that he disliked your enemies. Do you have anything more authentic to say?
And [re your comment, now deleted, about the US teenager caned in Singapore for public graffiti] a severe caning in a well-known authoritarian country for wilful breaking the law is not so barbaric as either US capital punishment ... or unarmed black deaths by cop.
You sound like a little lefty, antifa, snowflake.
You're not going to overcome government oppression if you remain quiet. Remember, oppression, lies and crap comes from all sides of the aisle.
A real life wormtongue, amazing
Best drama movie I've seen this year.
That Antony isn't Tony Abbot is he by any chance?
Ricky Gervais would be proud
I will always remember Tammy Frasers outburst while protecting her husband on a Particular interview. Language was well below her Stature and totally shocked me at the time. I have never again saw the video clip and I believe it was so demeaning of her at the time that it has been deleted for that reason......Like the late Queen if she came out with a F***ck in a conversation......😊
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
He is displaying the aussie bombastic aggression that permeates there.
Not sure why Fraser felt the need to behave like that. PR guy is there for a reason, to monitor the interview - causing a scene just makes the whole situation worse for no reason at all.
The PR guy stepped out of line. I'm surprised he wasn't dismissed immediately.
I don't know where you found this interview with Malcolm- Fraser the ex-Prime Minister of Australia, but you deserve a "subscribe" just for that. :)
Malcolm was a dark horse out of politics. Love that withering patrician tone he takes with the weaselly PR wart.
What happened to Anthony?
good job on not to tell the cameras are always rolling
🤣🤣
WHAT’S THIS GUY’S(INTERVIEWER) NAME??
I get excited because I’ve seen his face before and I’ve always thought of his face when I think of Australian people mostly because he’s got a huge head and so I’ve always assumed most Aussies have big ass heads just like this guy here
I once worked with an Australian chap who had a beard so I assumed all Australians have beards, including their women.
@@robertosmith1 ⬆️ this guy. He gets it.
Was Malcolm wearing trousers at this point?
This was long after 1986.
Ooh back in the good ol' days. When an interview interruption was still an actual thing....
i have no idea who these people are or what's going on here, but this was quite interesting none the less
