Assessment Task 3
Vox Pop
Introduction: The recent bushfire tragedy has hit a lot of us Victorian’s hard. A lot of people have lost there homes, friends, family and their livelihoods. But what makes this tragedy worst is that there have been people that have been going around to houses stealing what they can to survive. Pablo and Jacob set out and asked a few people of what they thought of these looters.
Vp31: (Jacob recording Pablo interviewing)
P: What you thought of those people
V: It’s probably one of the worst things you could do at this time. Probably as bad as guys that lighted the fires. Taking the money even the ones on Centrelink who are trying to claim rebate of Centrelink that’s even worse as well.
P: OK. What do you think their punishment should be?
V: Oh, for stealing obviously exactly what should be done. Whether its private or personal property. They should be taken to court for exactly what their doing.
P: Do you think there would be any excuse to justify their stealing?
V: No, nothing. Why would there be a reason to justify their stealing. I wouldn’t know.
Vp26: (Pablo recording Jacob interviewing)
J: Wanted to know your opinions on the recent looters from the bushfires.
V: My opinions they are very rude bastards and that’s as vulgar as I get.
J: Do you think there would be any excuse to justify their stealing at all?
V: Listen, everyone is an opportunist given the right opportunity we will all do it, simple.
J: What do you think their punishment should be?
V: Spanking with a bamboo stick by the rest of the population.
Vp24: (Pablo recording Jacob interviewing)
J: Just like to know your opinions of the looters from the bushfires.
V: It’s terrible, people are needy they’ve lost everything and anything they’ve got left and their just stealing it. It’s terrible.
J: Do you think there’d be any reason to justify their stealing?
V: No. Because it’s just not the right thing to do to take from someone that is down. Its awful.
J: What do you think their punishment should be?
V: Big fine, community, clean up or even jail.
Vp07: (Jacob Recording Pablo interviewing)
P: I just wanted to know your opinion on the looters and the stealers from the bushfires
V: I think its pretty rude of ‘em, but we need to send more supplies up
P: And what do you think their punishment should be for stealing from houses that have been burnt out?
V: Jail probably, yep, lock em up
P: Do you think anything would justify their excuse for doing it?
V: Nope, we just need to send more supplies up.
Vp11: (Jacob recording Pablo interviewing)
P: These people that have stolen from the burnt out houses, what do you think of them?
V: They should be Crucified, these people have gone through that much now as it is, my brother is one of them, and if they ever catch them, they should be crucified for doing it.
P: Do you think that any excuse would justify their stealing?
V: 90% of the time it’ll probably be drugs or something, and again, they should be crucified for doin that too, so.
P: What do you think their punishment should be?
V: If it was me, they probably wouldn’t have it here, but I would put them to hard labour, you know, like 4 years hard labour and that’ll teach them not to do it again.
Vp18: (Pablo recording Jacob interviewing)
J: What are you opinions on the looters from the bushfires?
V: I don’t really give them any thought, I’m sorry.
J: What do you think their punishment should be?
V: Well whatever law their breaking they get charged with that and they get the punishment that is assigned to that crime.
J: Do you think there would be any excuse to justify their stealing?
V: Yes I do. You’d have to be in a pretty bad way to be looking around ashes for stuff. Wouldn’t you?
