Could you explain how you discovered how important that is and how you nurture that for women in general?
30:31
Thank you.
30:32
I don't know the turning point or the moment that it happened, but I do remember at school, at high school, you know, wanting to look and be my best.
30:41
And I certainly wasn't the most gorgeous looking girl in the school or I wasn't the tallest or But I know sport was my thing and I loved feeling fit and strong and being able to run the cross country or play netball or tennis.
30:54
And so to me, I got to really appreciate just how magnificent the body was at a young age.
31:00
And I don't know why I was interested in that.
31:02
I just loved it.

And your essential oil realization, how did you find out about the value of essential oils? Did you study some of the discoveries that were already done? Because that was pretty recent, right? In the last 20 years?
136:14
Mm.
136:14
And I do think it made sense for them all to sort of sit down at the end, as he felt he was dying, and sort of chat about his entire life and how he got there.
136:24
But yeah, I just felt it went on a bit too long, 'cause I felt like we, we had a lot of the information already from things that we'd seen in the flashbacks and, yeah, from just the characters already kinda being there.
136:34
It sort of felt like, yeah, a bit too much of it.
136:38
But I think, like you said, it did, it made sense because it made, it gave Lestat that kind of chance to look in on himself and, yeah, kinda come away from it all when he ends up surviving [laughs] and, like, more peaceful and sort of organized it all in his head.
136:51
All these people, these, like, main characters in his life, person who turned him into a vampire, his mum, his, his exes, his, you know, and sort of rearrange them all.

26 MINS LATER

163:18
Yeah.
163:18
Show me Louis.
51:10
And i- is it a good jumping-on point, or would people be confused do you think, Kim?
51:14
I think it would be an enjoyable experience, but I, I think the key is obviously, like we were saying earlier, that whole thing of everyone's kind of version of the story, and we've had Lestat's and we've had a version of Claudia's, and now ...
51:26
No, sorry, we've had Louis and Claudia's, and now we're gonna get Lestat's.
51:29
So I think without having, having that, like, past experience, I think you would just get, like, this kind of w- everyone would be a bit, like, missing some layers basically.
51:38
You'd just be getting, like, this version-

46 MINS LATER

97:52
Don't go anywhere.
97:57
Well, welcome back to our Vampire: Lestat coverage, and now we're tackling the third episode, Toronto, where Daniel finally puts Lestat in the hot seat with an intense interview on camera, forcing him to confront 40 years of suppressed pain, his 18th century Parisian past, and his tragic first love, Nicolas.
98:17
Meanwhile, Louis tends to some deeply personal, long overdue business as he tracks down vampire Bruce to exact some revenge for what he did to his vampire daughter, Claudia.
2:19
What is the risk that governments change the rules about water rights, especially if Australia has a run of really bad drought years, for example?
2:26
So this water cap and trade system that we've developed in Australia has been a product of many, many decades of examining water policy.
2:35
First of all, recognizing that we need to preserve the benefits of the, of the water in the river systems.
2:41
Let's make sure we're not degrading the system.
2:43
So essentially, we've put in place a cap on extraction in each individual river resource and also groundwater to say, "Right, we're gonna make sure there's plenty in there to sustain the environment first, and then have an amount that can be extracted for consumptive use, whether that's for agricultural or mining or municipal use." The water rights that we're investing in are for that capped consumptive volume, and there's only so many of them on issue.
3:12
So the government policy settings have been long established now under a national policy, a national water initiative in two thousand and four, which really said, "Look, let's cap the extraction, preserve water for the environment, and then what is being allocated for consumptive use, let's have a market system that allows people to compete for that on the basis of their economics." If you're a really good, efficient user of, of water and you're, and you're profitable, then you can pay more for that resource and allow the market for water to then allocate that scarce consumptive water amongst all those competing users.
3:51
This is world-leading.
7:09
Do you get accused of being a water baron, or how do farmers feel about your role in investing in water rights?
44:54
Yeah, yeah [laughs]
44:54
... and leave this baby behind," which is also just something I don't a- agree with, me personally [laughs] as a person who's had a baby.
45:02
I would never have been like, "Save the baby [laughs] and leave me." I would've been like, "No, save me first, please." Um, and then also, it's the fact that we've spent three books and films with Bella being like, "Edward's the only person I want," and then she gets pregnant, and she's like, "I'll die and it'll be fine, and you'll have the baby, and you can..." And he's like, "Great.
45:21
I don't [laughs] want a baby.
45:22
I want my wife, thank you very much." So it's a very, it's, it is a very weird one of...
45:27
I just, I guess I don't understand Bella's motivations because she's never come across as the type of person who, like, that's what she was aiming for, and she's just taking it all in her stride.
45:38
She gets, like, insta-pregnant, and then it's, like, absolutely horrific-

strange[birds chirping] All right, so before we, uh, we break, uh, to consider Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2, um, let's, uh, let's sum up our, what are our final thoughts on Part 1, um, and, uh, do we think it deserves to live forever, or should it be staked through the heart? Kim, I'll come to you first.
