Justin Hamilton interviewed Badran for his podcast '' Can You Take This Photo Please ? '' . The interview shone a new light on a controversy misreported by ' The Age ' and ' SMH ' newspapers where it stated Ray had objected to a ' silent protest ' at one of his gigs . Badran was largely silent after the story blew up although the story became the second highest trending story in the country after the Germanwings plane crash in the French Alps . Although his management issued a statement , he declined to be interviewed by the broadcast media . His interview on '' Can You Take This Photo Please ? '' was the first detailing his side of the story
