Which journo dropped the f-bomb during the live presser?

It was the talk of Canberra yesterday — not Julia Gillard, but which journalist dropped the f-bomb during the all-important, broadcast-live press conference with Tony Windsor and Rob Oakeshott. Crikey’s CSI lab has isolated the audio here for your viewing pleasure.

Here’s the video:

    I’m pretty sure that’s Lenore Taylor.

    Fran Kelly was way over house-right, I don’t think it was her.

    f*ck, has journalism here really become so insipid, boring and self-obsessed we give a sh*t about a colleague saying f*ck?

    Actually, on closer listening it is Mother Teresa. Oakeshott’s ability to talk under wet cement made a saint swear.

    I agree with Petro. I think it was the ABC camerawoman cursing a tangled microphone cord or something.

    @Piers:

    Jo the camerawoman is a reference to the Shane Warne “can’t bat, can’t bowl” episode.

    So Rice’s Jag will now be given to Ian Roberts?

    I think it’s Dalek Kitty, but more likely the Petro/Piers Kelly scenario (which is not much fun at all!).

    Shame of Crikey for trivialising such an important, historical moment. Funny but.

    Do we have to call them a ‘presser’?

    It would not have been any one like Anita Quigly or Rebecca Wilson because the word f***k was not followed by ’ lefty red light green light Labour green w**kers’ - also Rebecca Wilson drink driving record probably means that she would not be capable of enunciating the word f**k.
