9:55AM Jess McGuire | The other day (week, maybe?) we borrowed a friend’s dictpahone and marched off to a local cafe to interrogate controversial (well, while we haven’t actually checked his blog, if history is anything to go by then we’ll dare to assume her recent piece about Lollipop Ladies/Gentlemen probably riled up Andrew Bolt into a frothy metaphor-spitting fury) columnist for The Age, Ms Catherine Deveny.
FACT! Deveny is actually Catherine’s married name!
FACT! We are clearly shitting you. Feel free to LOL or ROFL in your own time at our great wit.
Anyway, we indulged in some Serious Journalism and then happily toddled off home. And realised we’d returned the dictpahone too early and in this technologically advanced era of iPods (OURS BROKE ON SATURDAY, SEND A NEW ONE IMMEDIATELY) and CD players, we don’t actually have a tape deck to listen – and thus transcribe for your reading pleasure – our no holds barred Catherine Deveny piece.
The good news is, we’ve finally wrangled back our mate’s dictaphone!
The bad news is, we haven’t transcribed it yet as we’ve been a bit under the weather!
The good news is, we’ll get onto it either this afternoon, or tomorrow.
The bad news is, we cried at an episode of Undercover Angels last night and now we want to bludgeon ourselves to death due to the shame of it all. Stupid sign language choirs and separated lovers and distant relatives and our hatefully sensitive Piscean nature…
CATHERINE DEVENY, IF YOU ARE READING THIS RIGHT NOW – YOU’RE STILL GOING DOWN. ALRIGHT? WE ARE GOING TO “BLOW” THE “LID” OFF YOUR COMMIE WAYS, AND THEN WE’RE GOING TO LAUGH ABOUT IT LATER WHILE WATCHING THE ENTIRE 7TH HEAVEN DVD BOXSET AT ANDREW BOLT’S HOUSE.
PS: We also went to Spicks and Specks the other night and will write about that too. In time. We must repair ourselves slowly, people! More »
We Will Be ‘Serious Journalists’ Quite Shortly, Swears

An Exclusive Pre-Election Interview With The John Howard Ladies’ Auxiliary Fan Club
8:38AM Jess McGuire |
The John Howard Ladies’ Auxiliary Fan Club
Here at Defamer Australia HQ, we’ve been keenly following the campaigning going on around the country in the lead up to this Saturday’s Federal Election.
We very nearly stalked Julia Gillard on Wednesday morning in order to force her into posing for a MySpace Facebook profile picture with us (you know the kind of picture we mean – fringes swept across forehead, moody look on punim, pursed lips, the arm holding the camera still in shot) but we thought her emo facial expression may have been uncomfortably too realistic after she copped a verbal spanking from Jon Faine, so we resisted the urge to accost her with a digital camera.
We invited John Howard and Peter Costello out for a pot so we could have a lively discussion regarding the past eleven years of fuckery with them and ask probing Dr Phil-esque questions about their complicated and tumultuous relationship, but their media rep informed us last minute that they had already made plans with some bird named Anna something-or-other, so we missed that opportunity as well.
But, feeling it important to at least score one penetrating and incisive interview with a major political player before the nation went to the polls, we popped on a nice floral dress and some gloves and went to High Tea with Mrs Bea Wright, spokesperson for The John Howard Auxiliary Fan Club. You may have spotted her and her companions in the news during the past six weeks, as the women have made it their life’s mission to follow our Prime Minister during his campaigning and personally offer up their support to the wee little battler.
EXHIBIT A.
EXHIBIT B.
They’ve also got a Facebook group you can join, should you be so inclined.
In any case, after the jump you can read our AMAZING and INSIGHTFUL interview with Mrs Bea Wright. We realise we said this after our Angie Hart “piece“, but honestly… we must’ve scored ourselves a Walkley now, surely? Regardless, we’re rather pleased with how it all went – it was totally worth shouting Mrs Bea Wright three cucumber sandwiches and a few cups of Earl Gray.

11:34AM Jess McGuire | Hurrah! Turns out we were the highest bidder in the Ebay auction of the “special journalist gear” we mentioned yesterday, so this morning we went hunting and captured one Angela Ruth Hart. Once she regained consciousness, we sat her down and asked her some very hard hitting questions. We can smell the Walkley from here.
After the jump, our interview with Angie Hart – plus a chance for Melbourne readers to win tickets to her live show!
