Oh totally, I knew that and she mentions it briefly in the interview. It still feels a little odd for Seven to be actively talking about Big Brother at this time.
But hey, slow news day I guess!

For some reason this isn’t coming up for me
Weirdly enough they have geo-blocked it for Canada but not for any other Non-Australian country (at least not the ones that I've checked).
So hopefully they won't strike it before you get up.. otherwise: use VPN.

I believe so, the Big Brother FAST channel on 7+ is still kicking
It seems season 12 has expired. The rest are there though, for now.
I've bought the eBook and I haven't read it yet but it starts with a supposed date of June 2008, which is a month before Ten cancelled BBAU (and yes I know she was no longer part of the show by then, but this could be one of the gleeful exaggerations). She then goes on to say she has two children named Frog and Tadpole. Anyway I should get on to reading it and deciphering what or may not be BB.

Someone sent my an alternate but thanks. Watched it this morning on my way to work. Very good interview.

The topic of Merlin's protest was also a pretty big political debate in Australia at the time.
I remember learning in a Uni Social Studies class about how, as the 2 security guards were escorting Merlin off the stage after his protest, one of them said "Merlin what you have just done is incredible, the whole of Australia is going to love you forever", and the other one responded with "shut up mate".

@Josh: Fun fact: My mum is the reason Bree Amer was wrongfully evicted, got put back into the house, gained a lot of popularity, and became the runner-up. Long story short: My brother-in-law was the Chief Technical Officer for Legion Interactive (the telecommunications company that managed the voting lines). We moved into a new house that Sunday, and my mum wouldn’t let my brother-in-law leave. She insisted he stayed a little bit longer to move stuff upstairs and help hang up a mirror. He left with only 30 minutes to get into the city, despite the fact that he wanted to leave 2 hours earlier. He got stuck in traffic and had to tell a junior coordinator how to turn the voting lines off, and determine the evictee. That kid did it incorrectly, and the lines weren’t turned off properly at the right time, so Bree was kicked out instead of Wesley. They had to put her back in the house because it was a $1 million prize that year, so they were going to be audited by an independent scrutineer. If Bree hadn’t been put back in the house, she could’ve been awarded $1 million for being unfairly kicked out of a competition she could’ve won.
@Josh: Hahaha, nah, it was legitimately a genuine blunder. Like I said, she could’ve sued for $1 million. In fact, her case would’ve been so strong that she (most likely) wouldn’t have even needed to take it to court. In hindsight, it was probably the best thing to happen for her career. She wasn’t one of the favourites before it happened. She was kind of just…filler. And then she made it all the way to the finale, because it was such a massive story.

You'd think a predetermined time that voting lines should close would be automated ahead of time.

We actually got an interesting conversation with Wesley talking about his parents divorce and the aftermath between when he was supposed to be evicted and when he actually finally left. I'll remember that and the Paris Hilton fakeout and that's about it from him I'd say lol.
Late reply but thanks for posting this.Here we go:

As a side note, the newly digitised footage looks great on-screen.
If only audio of this existed i would not believe that was Bree speaking! Her voice has changed since I last saw her.
