  Hi, Jay Fallon, and thanks for listening to The Slippery Slope.
• 0:04
  So we're going to go over the story, the article about former
• 0:10
  premier Anastasia Peleche. Her, her boyfriend, her partner,
• 0:17
  her lever. Yeah, he's been charged with
• 0:20
  several serious charges. Police are alleging he did the
• 0:25
  wrong thing. I think it was in March, in
• 0:28
  March, 30th of March, we're going to go over this, we're
• 0:30
  going to go over this story. Anyway, Now I'll say I, I was, I
• 0:34
  was a little unsure whether I should talk about the story
• 0:36
  because I've had a theory for a while, a theory for, for quite a
• 0:42
  while about why we had a change of leadership in government.
• 0:47
  Remember a couple of years ago when Anastasia Palache was
• 0:51
  actually the premier and then she was never going anywhere.
• 0:55
  She was never going to quit. She was had her eye on the ball.
• 0:57
  She reckoned she was all set to go for the next election.
• 1:00
  There's no problems. No problems in her camp.
• 1:03
  Next minute. What do you know?
• 1:06
  She had to quit. Who knows what the real reasons
• 1:08
  were. I had a theory about what?
• 1:12
  Pardon. I had a theory about what went
• 1:14
  down. Little theory.
• 1:16
  I had a theory. And then and I thought, you know
• 1:19
  what, I want to get on here, I want to talk about and I'm like
• 1:21
  Jay, you can't really talk about that.
• 1:23
  You can't tell them why? Because your theory is built on
• 1:27
  some facts and also built on a rumour.
• 1:30
  The rumour is built on facts. So I had some facts and I had a
• 1:35
  rumour, but the rumour is built on facts, very reliable rumours.
• 1:38
  And I thought, well, at the end of the day, it's just a rumour.
• 1:42
  It's just a, it's just a theory that I have and we ended up with
• 1:47
  a new premiere. I have a theory about why we
• 1:52
  ended up with the new premiere and let's get into this story.
• 2:07
  OK, this is from the Courier Mail.
• 2:10
  Anastasia, Anastasia Palache's partner Risa Adib, charged with
• 2:16
  three counts of Rappe, the partner of former Queensland
• 2:20
  premier Anastasia Poliger. Dr. Doctor Risa Adib sexually
• 2:26
  assaulted a woman in her 30s. This lad's 65, something like
• 2:30
  that. So she's in her 30s at the Gold
• 2:33
  Coast Residence. This is what police allege.
• 2:38
  Now, you know, I instantly go to why was a 30 year old woman, I
• 2:46
  think she's very early 30s. Why was a 30 year old woman in
• 2:50
  the apartment for a 60 year old anyway?
• 2:52
  I mean, you look at him, it's not like he's some big huge guy
• 2:55
  that could, you know, drug or whatever, put her over the
• 2:59
  shoulder, you know, caveman stall and drag her, carry her
• 3:02
  back to the room. So she's at one point.
• 3:05
  I'm just going to assume, OK, just assuming that just asking
• 3:10
  the question. How did she get back there?
• 3:12
  I'm assuming that she's just walked back there of her own
• 3:16
  free will at some point, but things have gone a little
• 3:19
  haywire. I would say so.
• 3:22
  Former premier Anastasia Pelagier's partner, prominent
• 3:26
  Brisbane obesity obesity surgeon doctor Riza Adib, has been
• 3:32
  charged with three counts of rape.
• 3:35
  One count. A better, a better I think a
• 3:37
  better manage why I say it. So we say 3 counts of R of grape
• 3:43
  as I hear some people saying it, one count of essay and now sorry
• 3:49
  and two counts of deprivation of liberty.
• 3:53
  So very very serious. The alleged offences happened on
• 3:58
  March the 30th. Doctor Adib was given I Was
• 4:02
  Given Watch House bail to appear in court on May 14.
• 4:06
  In a statement, police said it would be alleged that Doctor
• 4:10
  Adib sexually sexually assaulted a woman in her 30s at his Burly
• 4:15
  Heads residence on Goodwin Terrace on March the 30th.
• 4:21
  So following extensive investigations, on 30th of April
• 4:25
  detectives executed a crime scene warrant at the property
• 4:29
  where several items were seized. Police said A 65 year old
• 4:34
  Indrapilli man has been charged with three counts of grape, 2
• 4:38
  counts of deprivation of liberty and one count of SA.
• 4:42
  He is due to appear at Southport Magistrates Court 14 May Doctor
• 4:46
  Adib attended Southport Police station voluntarily early on
• 4:51
  Friday afternoon, a day after his luxury Gold Coast beachfront
• 4:55
  apartment at Billy Heads was raided by police and declared a
• 4:59
  crime scene. So this is a picture there of
• 5:02
  the the good doctor. So Doctor Adib, who was
• 5:06
  accompanied by his Lauder Lauder Lauder lawyer, made no comment
• 5:12
  to the waiting media pack as he entered the station.
• 5:15
  Dr. Adib and his lawyer was seen leaving the station shortly
• 5:19
  after 2:00 PM. In a statement issued later on
• 5:23
  Friday afternoon, Doctor Adib's lawyer Dan Rogers, said his
• 5:27
  client was shocked. Shocked.
• 5:30
  He's shocked about the allegations made about him and
• 5:34
  is taking the matter very seriously.
• 5:36
  That's, well, I'm glad you're not laughing about it and just,
• 5:40
  you know, being Blase. Like all persons accused of a
• 5:46
  crime, he is presumed to be innocent and intends to
• 5:50
  vigorously defend the charges, he said.
• 5:54
  Right now, Doctor Adib is primarily concerned about the
• 5:57
  welfare of his family and his patients, and he will do
• 6:00
  whatever it takes to ensure that they are looked, looked after In
• 6:05
  the coming weeks. Doctor Adib asks that the media
• 6:08
  respect, respect the privacy of his family.
• 6:12
  Of course, of course, you've been charged with these very
• 6:15
  serious, you've got these very serious allegations over your
• 6:18
  hanging over your head. But please respect my my
• 6:21
  privacy, my family and his patients at this difficult time.
• 6:24
  Doctor Adib will not be making any comments about the matters
• 6:29
  while they are before the courts.
• 6:35
  So very interesting. What's happened to the good
• 6:38
  doctor Partner, partner of former Premier Anastasia
• 6:45
  Paloche? Now, just to refresh your
• 6:48
  memory, she was premier. She was telling everyone she's
• 6:53
  not going anywhere. She was in there for the long
• 6:55
  haul. There was, you know, no, no need
• 6:58
  for any concern. She was going to continue on as
• 7:02
  premier, going to the next election, blah, blah, blah,
• 7:04
  blah, blah, as they always do. And then lo and behold, just out
• 7:09
  of the blue, out of the blue, she had to step down, had to
• 7:15
  quit. No one knew why.
• 7:18
  There was no real reason that I can recall.
• 7:20
  There was just like I got to go, I'm out, something's come up.
• 7:25
  Got a roast in the oven. I've got to go.
• 7:27
  Can't do this anymore. And next minute we got a new
• 7:30
  premiere. Nothing to see here, nothing to
• 7:32
  worry about. She did a great job apparently
• 7:35
  and by let's move on. And no one ask any questions.
• 7:39
  So I thought my very weird, very weird.
• 7:45
  Like I said, I had a few. Oh yeah, I had my own theories
• 7:50
  about the whole thing. My theories were built on some
• 7:54
  facts, drawing some conclusions, you know, seeing a thing or two,
• 8:02
  I suppose, and then hearing rumours.
• 8:05
  Rumours based on facts. And then next minute she's out
• 8:10
  of here. And I thought, yeah, that all
• 8:11
  kind of lines up. And what do you know, the good
• 8:15
  doctor, the good doctor. It, it seems funny.
• 8:21
  Let's just say, let's just say, like I said it, it always seems
• 8:26
  strange to me that you've got someone He's he's you know, this
• 8:30
  age and then up in his room just somehow, who knows how it's
• 8:36
  happened. You've got a young, a 32 year
• 8:39
  old woman. Was it whatever 30 year old
• 8:42
  woman in your room at your luxurious beachfront apartment
• 8:47
  down the Gold Coast just happens to be there.
• 8:50
  She's just walked in. Who knows why, who knows how.
• 8:52
  Why would she walk in there anyway?
• 8:54
  She's in there for whatever reason.
• 8:56
  And then, Nick Minute, it's essay grape deprivation of
• 9:03
  liberty. Yeah, I wonder if there was.
• 9:09
  I won't say that. Anyway, I've got theories.
• 9:15
  Let's just call them theories. And I think I think there will
• 9:25
  be lots of powers to be that will not want this case being
• 9:30
  dragged out in court for too long.
• 9:34
  There's not going to be there's going to be people who are
• 9:37
  fairly powerful, very influential in our system who
• 9:40
  are going to say, you know what, the least amount of time this
• 9:44
  dude can can, you know, be before the courts.
• 9:48
  The least amount of media, the least amount of media exposure
• 9:57
  that can happen with this story, the better.
• 10:01
  That's my theory. There's a lot of powerful people
• 10:04
  that are going to want this all swept under the rug.
• 10:06
  A lot of money will be changing hands and people won't be
• 10:11
  telling much of a story and it'll all disappear because
• 10:15
  people won't want to answer any questions and won't want to say
• 10:20
  anything, any thoughts about it at all.
• 10:24
  That's just my theory. And of course, none of this is
• 10:27
  connected to why. Why the premier stood down those
• 10:32
  couple of years ago? Never.
• 10:34
  Anyway, I'm Jay Fallon telling you nothing, getting you
• 10:37
  nowhere. This is all just a slippery
• 10:40
  slope of politics in Queensland. Thanks for listening to the
• 10:43
  slippery Slope They.
