Incredible scenes after whale watchers "mugged" by humpback

<p>A group of tourists were "literally held hostage" by a humpback whale on Friday morning after the curious mammal circled a boat off the east coast. </p> <p>For almost an hour, captain and marine biologist Cassie Murray, had to cut the boats power supply and watched in aw as the whale "hung around" in an incredibly rare and beautiful moment. </p> <p>"We don't use any kind of technology to find the whales, we're just looking with our eyes," the captain from the whale watching company Ocean Extreme told <em>Yahoo News. </em></p> <p> "We're always looking for the blow, which is the breath of the whale. That's typically how we spot them... then this whale made a turn towards the boat. </p> <p>"It just kind of hung around and circled the boat and spy-hopped, which is when they lift their head up out of the water to take a look around,"  she explained. </p> <blockquote class="instagram-media" style="background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);" data-instgrm-captioned="" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/C-2PEx4Pqtp/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14"> <div style="padding: 16px;"> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;"> </div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;"> </div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;"> </div> </div> </div> <div style="padding: 19% 0;"> </div> <div style="display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;"> </div> <div style="padding-top: 8px;"> <div style="color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;">View this post on Instagram</div> </div> <div style="padding: 12.5% 0;"> </div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;"> <div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);"> </div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;"> </div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);"> </div> </div> <div style="margin-left: 8px;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;"> </div> <div style="width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);"> </div> </div> <div style="margin-left: auto;"> <div style="width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);"> </div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);"> </div> <div style="width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);"> </div> </div> </div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;"> </div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;"> </div> </div> <p style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;"><a style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C-2PEx4Pqtp/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A post shared by Ocean Extreme (@oceanextreme)</a></p> </div> </blockquote> <p>Many of the tourists were excited to see the majestic mammal up close, with Murray admitting that it was one of her best-ever whale-watching experiences after over 10 years in the industry. </p> <p>"It was very, very special," she said.

But it's like, the best kind of hostage situation possible."</p> <p>Murray added that having this experience in Sydney is rare as it is part of the migration path, "So 95 per cent of our trips, we just see the whales cruising past," she said.</p> <p>"This whale took the time to stop and just kind of mill about in one spot."</p> <p><em>Images: Instagram/Oceanextreme</em></p>

Dave Hughes mugged by "big man" on Melbourne street

<p>Comedian Dave 'Hughesy' Hughes has shared an incident on air about a harrowing encounter he had while grabbing dinner in Melbourne for his family on a Tuesday night.</p> <p>The 52-year-old radio host recounted the incident during his appearance on 2DAY FM’s morning show, "Hughesy, Ed &amp; Erin", with fellow comedian and stand-in host, Kate Langbroek.</p> <p>Hughes explained that he had ridden his electric bike to a nearby takeaway restaurant close to his residence to order dinner for his family.</p> <p>Unfortunately, upon his arrival, he discovered that the restaurant he had in mind was closed. Frustrated by the situation, he took out his phone with the intention of calling his wife to discuss alternative dinner plans when, suddenly, his phone was snatched from his hand.</p> <p>While recalling the incident, Hughes expressed how startled he was, saying, "I’m on the bike, and I put my phone up to my ear, and then all of a sudden, someone grabs my phone out of my hand, just grabbed it, yes, stole my phone."</p> <p>He went on to describe the thief as a "big man" who appeared to be under the influence of drugs, suspecting him to be a "meth head": “I look and it’s a man, a big man, and he is off his nut. I’m gonna say he’s a meth head, you know what I'm talking about.”</p> <p>The assailant's erratic behaviour didn't end with the phone theft. Hughes continued, "He tries to talk into the phone and he goes, ‘You weren’t even talking to anyone.’ Like it was my fault, like I was pretending to make a phone call."</p> <p>Rather than pursuing the thief on his bike, Hughes resorted to shouting, "Give me my phone back!"</p> <p>The situation eventually deescalated as the man threw the phone to the ground and stumbled away, eventually confronting a nearby vehicle. "He just staggered off and basically attacked a car,” said Hughes.</p> <p>Langbroek criticised Hughes for not immediately contacting the police after the unsettling incident, expressing concern about tolerating such dysfunction in society.  “I know that we’re all like, that’s sort of how it rolls," she said, "but when you start accepting dysfunction like that, then dysfunction will rule.”</p> <p>Hughes, who had lost his driver's license the previous month due to a series of minor traffic violations that resulted in the loss of his accumulated points, had been relying on his electric bike for transportation. </p> <p><em>Image: 2DAY FM</em></p>

Actor Richard Dreyfuss hits out at Lisa Wilkinson and The Project: “I was mugged”

<p>Actor Richard Dreyfuss has appeared on Nine’s <em>Today Extra</em> to hit back at Channel Ten’s <em>The Project</em>, after appearing on the show for an interview on Sunday night.</p> <p>The <em>Jaws</em> star read a prepared statement on <em>Today Extra</em> to address the moment <em>The Project</em> host Lisa Wilkinson questioned him about his experience of the #MeToo movement and the allegations of inappropriate sexual behaviour that he previously faced.</p> <p>In a five-minute speech, the 70-year-old actor claimed that producers had promised him “a light and friendly chat” about his appearance at the Supernova expos, saying that he felt misled when Wilkinson questioned him about sexual abuse in the movie industry.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img width="497" height="280" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7819308/2_497x280.jpg" alt="2 (93)"/></p> <p><em>Today Extra</em> co-hosts Sonia Kruger and David Campbell sat in silence as the actor delivered his speech about the TV interview, which he described as a “mugging”.</p> <p>Here is Richard Dreyfuss’ <em>Today Extra</em> statement in full:</p> <p><em>“I was mugged the other night in Sydney, Australia. Not by a petty thief but by the host and hostesses of a talk show called The Project. Kathleen Turner and I had been invited on the show to have a light, friendly chat about the autograph show we were participating in Sydney and then Perth. As that invitation to a specifically light and friendly chat was being repeated to us by two or three of the show’s staff, questions were prepared and entered into the teleprompters that could be referred to by Lisa Wilkinson and Hamish McDonald, two of the hosts.</em></p> <p><em>Light and friendly did not survive until the end of the first sentence. It was directed as a question to </em><em>Kathleen: Something about, ‘Has Hollywood changed in the last year in its treatment of men towards women?’ The second question was directed at me by Lisa.</em></p> <p><em>And just to put this in context, I had been named, I had been accused of sexual misconduct last November 7th. I was asked to remember something that had happened 30 years previously. It was apparently a flirtation that I was involved in and did not know was not consensual. And her question to me was, “Richard did you express your shame because you had worked at realising you had done something shameful or because you had been accused and caught out?”</em></p> <p><em>So why they had made such a point of repeating we were going to have a light and friendly chat while keeping their real questions so secret, I have no idea. But they never asked me to have the chat they wanted to have. I think I might have said “Yes” had they asked it in the proper tone of voice. Instead they chose to commit a breach of ethical behaviour, meant to be malignant and sly and known as wrong by every journalist in the world, unless you’re talking to someone who you’re trying to entrap because you think that he’s a murderer or a rapist.</em></p> <p><em>The behaviour of those through whom you get your news is the reason I’m here this morning. It is not about my alleged behaviour then, now, or ever. You can dismiss what I am saying now as I am being defensive or the television personalities involved will just continue to confuse what is right and what is wrong behaviour. I assure you that in my country, there is an enormous decay going on, an assault and drowning of this kind of trickery is going on every day. I would ask why would you want to emulate America at its worst? You should try to emulate America at its very famous best.</em></p> <p><em>I would also say that the reason that television hosts and hostesses don’t ask the right question is the same reason ours don’t. It’s that they have a contempt for their viewers and their guests. You should watch out for that. Because that’s where you’re getting your information. If America does no longer respect the Bill of rights, you should. Don’t go down with a sinking ship. That’s it.”</em></p> <p>At the end of the actor’s statement, Campbell and Kruger asked him to clarify his views on the #MeToo movement and his accusations of “trickery” against the Channel Ten show.</p> <p>“I have not answered how I feel about the #MeToo movement because there is no shape of a show that allows for a complex question to be asked and answered. Everything has been reduced to eight-second sound bytes. So, therefore, I will not talk about it under those circumstances. It requires an article or a book. And my life is, in fact, a book,” he said.</p> <p>A Network Ten spokesman has since refuted the actor’s claims, insisting that he and his publicists were informed about the line of questioning that he was to face.</p> <p><em>“The Project</em> rejects claims that Mr Dreyfuss was misled. In written correspondence with the Supanova publicist, an interview brief was provided three days prior which included the line of questioning <em>The Project</em> panel would put to both Richard Dreyfuss and Kathleen Turner,” Network Ten said in a statement to <a href="https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/tv/richard-dreyfuss-slams-lisa-wilkinson-and-the-project-i-was-mugged/news-story/8f2b076c154f0ce0066b057738e8d589" target="_blank"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">news.com.au.</span></strong></a></p> <p>“This included a discussion about their appearances at Supanova but also that the panel would address the #MeToo campaign and Mr Dreyfuss’ behaviour towards women in decades past.</p> <p>“Given the public allegations made about Mr Dreyfuss, <em>The Project </em>would not have him on the program without addressing these issues and Mr Dreyfuss’ publicist was made aware of this.</p> <p>“At no stage did the program attempt to catch out or entrap Mr Dreyfuss and it was never the intention of <em>The Project</em> panel to offend him.”</p>
