My partner heard me playing your video, and immediately said - Rocktopus!! so I said, I'm using that in the comments. He said - someone will already. But no one has, so here you are, you're welcome :-) May it give you more energy to keep on with the struggle against the council.

I told you you were wrong about Anne at the time and you didn’t listen to me.

I still don't rate her acting but I don't hate her for no reason now.

It's honestly so bizarre I feel like I'm living in a twilight zone.

After having helped 2 friends try to get into local Council, I realise there are a lot of Councillors who are in it so their mates (and themselves) get a bit of something something. Perhaps a request via the freedom of information act might get you what you need. But honestly, screams corruption to me! Good luck.

We've done FOIs and we're taking our complaint to the ombudsman. Fingers crossed!

I've heard great things about The Moors, Joel Horwood is indeed a genius and a good mate of mine - fun fact, he used to be a barista at my cafe in WA!

Oh small world - Joel is also a mate of mine. We did a show together in Melbourne and then they swung themselves to Canberra and started hanging out with all my mates! Small world! 😂

What happened with Anne Hathaway? I just skimmed the whole Wikipedia entry on her and I don't see anything about a public shaming or controversy. ???

Oh it wasn’t an official thing just a lot of think pieces and zietgiesty discourse about how awful we all were to Anne Hathaway. No public shaming or controversy just a generation of women being pretty shit to her and all kind admitting it and talking about at the same time.

But being shit to her about what?

It was just like a big cultural thing where hating on Anne Hathaway was just like a normal part of life.

Huh. Interesting. Thanks for the link. That article felt like sort of a self-perpetuating if-everyone-says-it-then-it-must-be-true kind of thing. But I'm not on social media so I was unaware.

Oh yeah but it went deeper than that like I had full on in real life discussions about it at the time about how no one liked Anne Hathaway and couldn’t figure out why and there was this internet pile on and it was gross. Totally get if you missed it though if you’re not on social media and maybe your friends actually like Anne Hathaway!
