Ley reveals terrifying outback encounter
Opposition Leader Sussan Ley has revealed a terrifying encounter she had as a young woman, pulling a gun on a man who threatened her while travelling alone through rural Australia. Leaving behind a job in air traffic control and a flat on Sydney's Coogee Beach, Ms Ley said she landed a job in outback Queensland to chase her dream of flying. 'I didn't want to talk to the planes, I wanted to fly them,' she told 10News+. 'I got a few calls, one from a shearing contractor in Thargomindah.' Setting off for the journey alone in her Holden, Ms Ley said her father taught her how to safely use a gun. 'I'm a girl, travelling on my own, I swung through the gun shop in Queanbeyan and bought a rifle,' she told the program. 'The owner of the gun shop said, 'this will suit you because you can fit it under the seat'' One night, while camped beside a remote road, she was woken by a man. 'I set up my swag, boiled my billy and looked up at the brilliant night stars and went to sleep and I just tucked the unloaded gun next to me in the swag,' she said. 'When bright lights shone in my eyes at probably about 2 o'clock in the morning with a motorcyclist. I remember the visor lifted up … looking around 'You on your own are you?' 'A line came to me, I think from a Clint Eastwood movie, 'No, I'm here with my tall skinny mate'. 'By that time I was shaking. I managed to effectively pick up the gun, point it in his direction and he disappeared very quickly. So did I, I packed up and left. I thought, this is crazy.' Ms Ley said while the encounter was terrifying, it didn't shake her love for remote Australia. 'It wasn't the introduction to the real rural Australia that I should have had but soon after I came to meet the incredible people and communities that live in our rural and remote parts,' she said. 'When, as I said, I get up and work hard for Australians, I often have those Australians in mind.' Now the leader of the Liberal Party, Ms Ley says women's safety remains a top priority. 'A lot of women raised the issue of safety. I said at my Press Club speech I will always put the safety of women and children above politics,' she said. 'It's an anxiety that is building and that worries me. 'I want women to be safe and it's important that we, and I, as a female leader, make clear that's a high priority for me.'

Channel Ten's Angela Bishop left mortified as she is made to read out gross pun live on air: 'I can't believe I said that'
Angela Bishop broke the fourth wall on Thursday after her 10News producers slipped a joke about Brad Pitt breaking wind into her teleprompter. The veteran TV presenter, 57, was introducing a news item about Brad Pitt's recent appearance on the Kelce brothers' podcast, in which he talked about some of his early career mishaps. 'Well, you can see him hitting the gas in cinemas right now in F1, but Brad Pitt hit a different kind of gas on a film seat earlier in his career...' Angela said as she announced the segment in her serious newsreader voice. 'Sitting down with the Kelce brothers on their podcast, the Hollywood star reminisced on one of his earliest memories on set, and how he cleared the room after being forced to eat beans between multiple takes,' Angela continued, before the cameras cut to the interview. 'I can't believe I just said that,' she admitted. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. While chatting on the New Heights podcast with NFL brothers Travis and Jason Kelce on June 2, the Oscar-winning actor shared a grossly funny anecdote about the perils of method acting. 'We're shooting in this little, tiny café. It's full of the crew, so there's about 60 people in there,' he shared, setting the scene. 'It's hot. You can't breathe, and my character hadn't eaten for days, and he gets this big plate of beans and bacon.' In the interest of playing the character truthfully, Brad downed a big plate of beans. 'I was like, "Yeah, I'm going to do this right,"' he said. 'I just powered down this plate of beans. Take two, do the same thing. Take three, I do the same thing. Take four, I do the same thing.' 'There was nothing I could do. I was stuck in this chair, and nature took its course,' he admitted. The Moneyball star believed he was in the clear, but ended up clearing the set out instead. 'I went, "Oh, great. I got away with that one,"' he recalled. 'Suddenly, the most diabolical something-something descended on the crew in the whole room,' Brad laughed. 'And they [fled] the café.' 'Ever since then, I pace myself,' the actor joked. After airing the segment, Angela wrapped the news up with: 'Pitt would be no stranger to a director calling cut on set, but not usually for cutting the cheese.' The reporter visibly cringed as she delivered the one-liner, which was written by one of her team members. News and entertainment producer Steven Christie delighted in writing the jokes for his unwitting boss to deliver on-air. 'Writing fart puns might have been the highlight of my day,' the producer wrote as he shared the clip to his Stories. Angela has met and interviewed Pitt numerous times throughout her storied career as the Entertainment Editor for Studio 10. In 2022, she infamously contracted Covid-19 after travelling to Los Angeles for a sit-down interview with Brad and his Aussie co-star in Babylon, Margot Robbie. Angela was forced to sit out the film premiere festivities and conduct her interview on Zoom instead. She left Pitt 'perplexed' with a line of questioning to Margot about soap opera Neighbours, with the US star confessing he had absolutely no idea what the pair were talking about.
