Sir Peter John Cosgrove, AK, MC (born 28 July 1947) is a retired senior Australian Army officer and the 26th and current Governor-General of Australia
He was sworn in on 28 March 2014, and made a Knight of the Order of Australia the same day .

General Cosgrove was interviewed on TV by Leigh Sales from the ABC.

This is a portion of an ABC interview between female journalist Leigh Sales and General Cosgrove who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military Headquarters.

LEIGH SALES:
So, General Cosgrove, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base?

GENERAL COSGROVE:
We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery and shooting.

LEIGH SALES:
Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?

GENERAL COSGROVE:
I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range.

LEIGH SALES:
Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?

GENERAL COSGROVE:
I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm.

LEIGH SALES:
But you're equipping them to become violent killers.

GENERAL COSGROVE:
Well, Ma'am, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?

LEIGH SALES

The broadcast went silent for 46 seconds and when it returned, the interview was over.

Summary of eRumor:

This is a forwarded email that contains a transcript of an alleged interview that took place on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) between General Peter Cosgrove, the former Chief of the Australian Defence Force, and ABC host Leigh Sales. Sales was concerned about a group of Boy Scouts being taught by the general on how to properly handle a rifle. Sales asked if he was “equipping them to become violent killers.” The general quickly responded, “Well, Ma’am, you’re equipped to be a prostitute, but you’re not one, are you?” After a long period of silence the interview ended.


The Truth:

The story is a hoax according to a February 4, 2013 article by The Australian. Calling it a “complete fabrication,” the article said that a transcript of the alleged broadcast went viral on the World Wide Web.

The article also said, “Since President Barack Obama began his fight to toughen gun laws in the US, more than 18,000 Facebook members have shared what appears to be a transcript of an interview between General Cosgrove and an unnamed female journalist discussing a Boy Scout trip to ‘military headquarters'”.

The sample that we got named Leigh Sales of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation as the interview host. Some versions of this whopper say the interview took place on the CNN network.

Jammer Oom,

My baas het ook dieselfde probleem met my. Hy se ek moet ophou om 'n goeie storie met feite op te foeter.

Oom PW, ek het dit geniet - of dit nou waar was of nie!

Ok - hier is ook n lekker een - die een is volgens die web die waarheid


This is based on an actual radio conversation between a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier (U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln) and Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October, 1995. (The radio conversation was released by the Chief of Naval Operations on 10/10/95 authorized by the Freedom of Information Act.)

Canadians: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid collision.

Americans: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision.

Canadians: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.

Americans: This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.

Canadians: No, I say again, you divert YOUR course.

Americans: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS LINCOLN, THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES’ ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH–I SAY AGAIN, THAT’S ONE FIVE DEGREES NORTH–OR COUNTER-MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.

Canadians: This is a lighthouse. Your call.
