Reporters share their bloopers in solidarity with daydreaming newsreader

We all make mistakes. Some people make them on live television.

But when reports that recently-viral ABC24 newscaster, Natasha Excelby, was removed from the air after being caught daydreaming mid-broadcast, her fellow journalists assembled.

Like a team of mistake-making superheroes, presenters began sharing their own stories of live-to-air humiliation with the hashtag #PutYourBloopersOut and the results are as LOL as they are touching.

SEE ALSO: This newscaster's terrified reaction is all of us getting caught daydreaming at work

Look, it wasn't great. But allegedly axing Excelby from news reading duties? Way harsh. 

This national TV editor was first to stand in solidarity with Excelby. And from there, the cringe-worthy, swear word-heavy and downright embarrassing as hell stories began rolling in. 

Ok, Aussie TV presenters, let's get around @NatashaExelby over this and #PutYourBloopersOut https://t.co/ghBOtIPVif

The channel's director of news, Gaven Morris issued a statement to help clear up the matter, saying "Media reports that Natasha has been 'banned,' 'barred' or 'fired' are untrue ... While she is not currently doing any on-air shifts, this will be subject to normal performance management."

But it was too late. The yarns were already spun. And they're full of innuendo.

Gee, it's almost like newsreaders are fallible human beings or something. Who knew? 

For her part, Excelby is chuffed by the show of support. We've all been there, girl! 

Thank U all for ur generous support. Not my finest hour. Myself and my mesmerising pen honourably salute you!

Well, not personally, but as viewers we can tell you, it's funny and relatable!

The impact Tracey Spicer just had on me is profound.

Men and women alike, when are we going to wake up?

Watch this to the end to see why me telling you she's going to get ALMOST NAKED! is what caught your eye about this post.

[dr-anastasia]

I don’t want my kids growing up in a society that tolerates sexual violence and abuse….

Tracey Spicer is, in my view at least, a usually admirable voice in the media for gender politics. Her recent TEDx talk (yes, I know, a little contrived perhaps) articulated the contradictory nature of beauty expectations that many women find to be an almost daily challenge.  She can be sarcastic, irreverent, and bold in the face of gender inequity; and it’s an approach, with its smack of honesty, that I often find refreshing - even inspiring.

Then this happened, and it feels like a hell of a lost teachable moment in gender politics and societal responses to sexual violence and abuse. Tracey’s article essentially argues that despite having knowledge of the statistical risk of sexual abuse (being most likely a known male person or family member, and not highly likely on planes), her gut reaction as a mother of young children travelling alone is to prefer they not be seated next to male strangers. That some airlines have either a formal or informal policy accommodating this preference suggests that she is not alone.

Unsurprisingly, Tracey’s article has attracted various responses from male commentators who – rightly – criticise her for mistaking the gendered nature of sexual offending (which they acknowledge is overwhelmingly perpetrated by men against women and children), for the statistical likelihood that a randomly seated male stranger poses an unacceptable risk to the safety of the person sitting next to them. (That, and the reality that most of us – male or female – would rather not sit next to someone else’s kids, or even our own kids, on a plane anyway).

A parent paying for a flight for their child is allowed to express a view about their preferences for how their child is treated and cared for. Enough said. But what troubles me about Tracey’s article, and to some extent the responses to it, is the distraction such pieces create by focusing on either privileging the monster myth of sexual offending, or adding to a ‘war of the sexes’ narrative when it comes to talking about sexual violence.  (For the record, yes, it is unfair for men to move through society feeling as though they are being silently labeled as a possible sexual abuser. It is also unfair for women to move through society feeling as though they may become yet another victim of a sexual abuser. Yet here we are).

At the end of the day, I don’t want my kids growing up in a society that tolerates sexual violence and abuse. Perhaps the lost opportunity here was to talk about the problematic ways that our fears about sexual abuse (not helped by distorted media reporting I might add), often don’t line-up with the reality, and the implications this has. That it diverts our attention to the ‘big bad stranger out there’ in the world (as if sexual violence were a matter of random risk), rather than forcing us to ask very serious questions about the patterns of abuse. Let’s talk about why it is that known men are the most likely to sexually abuse women and children? Let’s talk about what that says about gender equality and about power and dominance in our society, in our homes? And let’s talk, more often, not about what individual parents including Tracey Spicer might try to do to reduce the risk of harm to their children – but about what men can do – and what we all can do - to stop sexual violence from happening in the first place. Let's talk about creating a society where women don't fear rape, and men don't fear being wrongly labelled as potential rapists - because rape no longer happens. That's a conversation worth having.
