- 0:02Speaker 1: Welcome to the Late Place.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Hello, and welcome to the show. I'm Danikity Georgio. Tonight
- 0:10Speaker 2: Joe by kayleb Bond and Joe Hildebrand. Gentlemen, good evening.
- 0:13Speaker 1: It's a great evening, isn't it just great? You're feeling it.
- 0:16Speaker 3: That's because you're here with us.
- 0:18Speaker 1: That's exactly right. Yeah, otherwise I'd have to be at
- 0:20Speaker 1: home with the wife. And you know.
- 0:23Speaker 4: Exactly that's right. TV wives are much much better than
- 0:26Speaker 4: the real thing.
- 0:27Speaker 1: Oh, I don't smile all the time. They nod their
- 0:31Speaker 1: head when.
- 0:31Speaker 2: You're that's because we have to nod our heads when
- 0:34Speaker 2: you talk.
- 0:35Speaker 1: Joe. Yes, I'm prepared to accept that. That's right, that's
- 0:38Speaker 1: should be.
- 0:41Speaker 2: What a fine? What a fight?
- 0:42Speaker 1: I love my I love you baby.
- 0:44Speaker 2: Yeah, good, I'm glad we've bloody clarified that. Good. Great?
- 0:47Speaker 2: All right? Coming up tonight on the show.
- 0:49Speaker 5: The traditional nine to five and daily commute will be
- 0:52Speaker 5: dead by twenty fifty, according to a global study Ohen
- 0:55Speaker 5: Neural implants will be a common workplace tool by then too.
- 0:59Speaker 2: No, oh, thank you. Should you dob in your neighbour's
- 1:02Speaker 2: barking dog?
- 1:04Speaker 5: A Brisbane couple copter final warning about theirs just twenty
- 1:07Speaker 5: four hours after moving.
- 1:09Speaker 2: In and the Melbourne Cricket Club hit with the woke bat.
- 1:13Speaker 5: If you identify as male, you now have to wear
- 1:16Speaker 5: a collar to gain entry. So how will they be
- 1:19Speaker 5: able to tell who identifies as a bloke or not?
- 1:22Speaker 5: But first, we all know about the housing crisis in
- 1:25Speaker 5: this country, so why are non citizens allowed access to
- 1:29Speaker 5: Labour's five percent deposit scheme. In fact, more than fifty
- 1:34Speaker 5: thousand non citizens have purchased homes through the policy since
- 1:38Speaker 5: eligibility was expanded in twenty and twenty three. That's about
- 1:43Speaker 5: thirteen percent of the total number of participants accessing this
- 1:47Speaker 5: billion dollar scheme and ge. Labour's response when questioned by
- 1:51Speaker 5: Liberal Shadow Minister for Housing Andrew bag Bragg today was
- 1:54Speaker 5: just bizarre.
- 1:56Speaker 6: And why have you expanded this scheme for Australian first
- 2:01Speaker 6: home lineer is to people who aren't Australian citizens. That's
- 2:05Speaker 6: a question for you, minister. Australians who are permanent residents,
- 2:10Speaker 6: have settled permanently here in Australia, are part of the
- 2:13Speaker 6: Australian community. It's an Australian first home buy scheme is
- 2:16Speaker 6: not for people who are not Australians.
- 2:18Speaker 5: I mean, hello, exactly, we don't have enough homes as
- 2:22Speaker 5: it is, the market is unaffordable, labor has brought in
- 2:25Speaker 5: migrants at record levels, and now, as we've just heard,
- 2:28Speaker 5: we're handing non citizens access to a scheme meant to
- 2:31Speaker 5: be for Australians.
- 2:32Speaker 2: Please make it make sense, Caleb.
- 2:35Speaker 3: I don't know how I'm meant to. Sorry, Denika, I
- 2:37Speaker 3: may as well give up and go. I mean, it's truly,
- 2:43Speaker 3: it's a very basic thing to say that a first
- 2:45Speaker 3: home buyers scheme should be available to Australian first home
- 2:49Speaker 3: bars because obviously, one of the big problems we have
- 2:53Speaker 3: with housing is that we have too many migrants coming
- 2:56Speaker 3: into the country and not enough homes being built to
- 2:59Speaker 3: cater for them, and so you end up with a
- 3:01Speaker 3: supply and demand problem, and that drives up prices, which,
- 3:04Speaker 3: by the way, will now get worse for first home
- 3:07Speaker 3: buyers because a lot of the places where they look
- 3:10Speaker 3: to buy and are encouraged to buy by the various
- 3:13Speaker 3: first home buyers schemes and whatever that are available to
- 3:15Speaker 3: them are in new developments, because of course they're trying
- 3:18Speaker 3: to subsidize and encourage new development, but of course Where
- 3:22Speaker 3: are the investors now going to go the new developments,
- 3:24Speaker 3: because that is where they're allowed to negatively gear their property.
- 3:27Speaker 3: So you'll now have first home buyers and investors swimming
- 3:30Speaker 3: around in an even smaller pool of houses. So I'm
- 3:33Speaker 3: sure that'll be really good for first home bars, but
- 3:35Speaker 3: really great for banks, it should be said too. But
- 3:38Speaker 3: now there is no way you can make it make
- 3:40Speaker 3: sense because that is fundamentally the problem here. Why would
- 3:44Speaker 3: you say this scheme A fifth of the people using
- 3:47Speaker 3: the scheme are those who are not citizens of this country,
- 3:52Speaker 3: born in this country. Whatever it might be, this is
- 3:56Speaker 3: the problem is that we have too many margrants buying
- 3:58Speaker 3: houses and we're giving them a pathway to buy a
- 4:02Speaker 3: house as long as they get the right visa. You've
- 4:05Speaker 3: got to go the whole way, I say, if you
- 4:07Speaker 3: want to buy a house in this.
- 4:08Speaker 1: Country, yeah, well maybe.
- 4:09Speaker 4: But the thing I think, the word that's missing from
- 4:12Speaker 4: this whole debate is saying people who are not Australian
- 4:15Speaker 4: citizens yet, because you have to become a permanent resident
- 4:19Speaker 4: before if you're not born here, you have to become
- 4:20Speaker 4: a permanent resident before you become a citizen. And there
- 4:23Speaker 4: is every chance that any number of tens of thousands,
- 4:26Speaker 4: maybe all of most of them are actually waiting for
- 4:30Speaker 4: their citizenship to be granted, because it takes up to
- 4:33Speaker 4: two years from the time that you first apply to.
- 4:36Speaker 1: That first thing.
- 4:36Speaker 4: You have to be living here already, and you have
- 4:38Speaker 4: to get your permanent migration permanent visa granted, and then
- 4:43Speaker 4: you have to apply for citizenship, and that can take
- 4:46Speaker 4: months and months and months. I think the average waiting
- 4:49Speaker 4: time for one class was eight months or something, and
- 4:52Speaker 4: that was just the average time.
- 4:53Speaker 1: So these could well be people say.
- 4:55Speaker 4: Right, I'm here, I've got my permanent visa for Australia.
- 4:59Speaker 4: I'm going to be live here for the rest of
- 5:00Speaker 4: my life. I want to buy my house and settle
- 5:03Speaker 4: down here. And my citizenship hasn't come through yet, but
- 5:05Speaker 4: you know, I've applied or I'm going to. I do
- 5:08Speaker 4: want to become a citizen, but I just haven't got
- 5:09Speaker 4: around to it because I'm too busy putting a roof
- 5:11Speaker 4: over my head. And so that these numbers show up
- 5:15Speaker 4: in that system. So I'm not sure Andrew Bragg quite
- 5:18Speaker 4: understands it. I'm not sure if he's.
- 5:21Speaker 3: And if you really want to become a citizen of
- 5:23Speaker 3: this country. Presumably you're the sort of person who is
- 5:27Speaker 3: grateful for what this country has given to you, and
- 5:29Speaker 3: you're really glad you've had the opportunity to move here
- 5:32Speaker 3: or live here, or your parents moved to you here
- 5:33Speaker 3: when you're a kid, whatever, it might be, right, So
- 5:36Speaker 3: you'd suly be the sort of person that would be
- 5:37Speaker 3: willing to cop waiting an extra eight months or whatever
- 5:40Speaker 3: it is for the opportunity to have access to a
- 5:43Speaker 3: first home Buyers scheme because at that point you've become
- 5:45Speaker 3: a citizen, because you'd go, that's fair enough that this
- 5:49Speaker 3: is a scheme that is available.
- 5:50Speaker 4: To honestly telling me that you would see a house
- 5:53Speaker 4: a whole Oh my god, this is a house I
- 5:55Speaker 4: can afford. This is the house I've been successful at
- 5:58Speaker 4: bidding with on auction. I've just made just scraped together
- 6:01Speaker 4: enough money. My wife says she's going to leave me
- 6:03Speaker 4: if we don't get this house, and again, why you know,
- 6:06Speaker 4: But you'd say, I know, I'm not going to do
- 6:08Speaker 4: it because I wouldn't feel right about it, because even
- 6:11Speaker 4: though I've applied to become an Australian citizen, I haven't
- 6:14Speaker 4: actually had the ceremony yet. So I'm just going to
- 6:16Speaker 4: let that my home, of my dreams, my future financial
- 6:18Speaker 4: security disappears.
- 6:20Speaker 2: She shouldn't be eligible altogether.
- 6:21Speaker 5: I mean, this scheme was the expanded eligibility happened back
- 6:25Speaker 5: in twenty twenty three. And my question would be what
- 6:27Speaker 5: message does this send to everyday ossies who are also
- 6:30Speaker 5: working their backsides off. We can't actually get every day
- 6:32Speaker 5: ossies into homes because there is a housing crisis.
- 6:35Speaker 2: You even mentioned, you mentioned it yourself. You know that
- 6:37Speaker 2: the budget.
- 6:39Speaker 5: Suggests there'll be about thirty five thousand less homes because
- 6:42Speaker 5: of the CGT and the negative gearing changes. We've got
- 6:45Speaker 5: rents going through the roof cost of living crisis, and
- 6:48Speaker 5: we're just saying no, Look, it doesn't matter if you
- 6:50Speaker 5: hear a non citizen have a crack at the housing market.
- 6:53Speaker 2: Don't worry.
- 6:53Speaker 5: I just don't understand what message this is supposed to
- 6:56Speaker 5: send to Australians.
- 6:57Speaker 4: Well, it's the same message that everyone who has a
- 6:59Speaker 4: Medicare gets. I mean, you don't have to be a
- 7:01Speaker 4: citizen to have to get subsidized medical care through Medicare.
- 7:05Speaker 4: But do you think it's or any other or any
- 7:07Speaker 4: other benefits way to me? We've had about welfare benefits
- 7:11Speaker 4: as well. Permanent residents are eligible for those citizens, and.
- 7:14Speaker 3: There's a legitimate argument to be had about whether or
- 7:16Speaker 3: not they happened. And that is what the Coalition has
- 7:18Speaker 3: recently raised, is that a whole sway that this stuff
- 7:21Speaker 3: should not be available to non citizens, ut least until
- 7:24Speaker 3: the point you have taken the ultimate change and Australian
- 7:30Speaker 3: then why should you have access to this stuff?
- 7:32Speaker 2: So in that case a case of labor.
- 7:34Speaker 5: Labor loves citizenships, right, we know that Labor is obsessed
- 7:38Speaker 5: with citizens with non citizens, I just feel like this
- 7:41Speaker 5: is yet another political ploy by Labor for votes.
- 7:44Speaker 1: Why would they be permanent residents can't.
- 7:46Speaker 5: Vote because they expanded the eligibility criteria though I'm just
- 7:50Speaker 5: saying they.
- 7:50Speaker 1: Just the people who can't vote.
- 7:52Speaker 2: No, I'm not just saying I.
- 7:53Speaker 1: Just wanted to get their votes.
- 7:57Speaker 4: They'd be saying, you do have to be a because
- 7:59Speaker 4: we cot these fifty one thousand people cannot vote for
- 8:02Speaker 4: the Labor, they cannot vote for anybody. That's exactly what
- 8:06Speaker 4: I was about to say. What what brag and Taylor
- 8:10Speaker 4: are doing. Basically say all these people who.
- 8:13Speaker 1: Labor has has dot them out to but can't vote, will.
- 8:16Speaker 4: Have to become citizens so they can vote before they
- 8:20Speaker 4: access all these goods, and who do you think they're
- 8:22Speaker 4: going to vote?
- 8:22Speaker 3: And this is precisely the problem that Labor has set
- 8:25Speaker 3: up because it then means.
- 8:27Speaker 1: But Labour's are one saying they don't have to become.
- 8:29Speaker 3: Because it means you then become if you have such
- 8:31Speaker 3: a large number of migrants in this country, you then
- 8:35Speaker 3: become beholden to their wants and needs above and beyond
- 8:40Speaker 3: the wants and needs of the Australian majority. Once you
- 8:42Speaker 3: have enough of a rump of voters or potential voters,
- 8:47Speaker 3: you have to start appealing to them, particularly in certain electorates.
- 8:51Speaker 3: Now it doesn't work on a nationwide scale, but there
- 8:53Speaker 3: are electorates that have huge migrant populations and so you
- 8:57Speaker 3: as a party or a candidate to start pandering specifically
- 9:02Speaker 3: to them in order to shure up.
- 9:03Speaker 1: That's what a local MP is meant to do. A
- 9:04Speaker 1: local MP is meant to look after their I get electorate.
- 9:08Speaker 3: I get that. But the point is that we have
- 9:09Speaker 3: brought in a bunch of people from the other side
- 9:12Speaker 3: of the world, and now we've got to deal with
- 9:13Speaker 3: their wants and needs. As opposed to people who were
- 9:15Speaker 3: born in this country exactly.
- 9:17Speaker 4: But they're talking about the difference between permanent residents and citizens,
- 9:20Speaker 4: or are we just saying.
- 9:22Speaker 3: Well, permanent residence. Let's presume that they will be on
- 9:24Speaker 3: the road to citizenship at some point. So you're appealing
- 9:27Speaker 3: to them before they've applied for their citizenship because you
- 9:30Speaker 3: will want their vote when they become a citizen, and
- 9:32Speaker 3: you will be appealing to them after they get their
- 9:33Speaker 3: citizenship because you will want their vote. Then that's right.
- 9:36Speaker 4: But there is only one There is only one major
- 9:38Speaker 4: party that is saying that they have to become citizens
- 9:41Speaker 4: and therefore be able to vote for the Labor Party,
- 9:44Speaker 4: and that is the Liberal Party.
- 9:46Speaker 1: It's a bit of an own goal, don't you think no.
- 9:48Speaker 3: Because they're actually taking a principal point of view and
- 9:51Speaker 3: saying we're not just going to pander to make.
- 9:53Speaker 1: Any more principle and paul En Hanson will be the
- 9:55Speaker 1: prime minister. I don't want that's right right now.
- 10:01Speaker 4: If Augus Taylor is tried to make himself electorally extinct
- 10:04Speaker 4: to pave the way for one nation, and that's his
- 10:06Speaker 4: political strategy. By forcing all these people to become citizens,
- 10:10Speaker 4: and then not vote for them.
- 10:12Speaker 1: Great stuff.
- 10:12Speaker 3: We've let in so many people that you do now
- 10:14Speaker 3: have the Candida mirgrants if you potentially want to win government.
- 10:18Speaker 3: This is why people are turning to parties like One Nation,
- 10:21Speaker 3: because they're not happy with the way this country is going.
- 10:24Speaker 3: They're not happy with what most mass migration has done
- 10:27Speaker 3: to this country. Of course, one of the other areas
- 10:29Speaker 3: where mass migration has had a big impact, certainly in
- 10:32Speaker 3: terms of the economy, ie, we're not officially in a
- 10:36Speaker 3: recession because the government keeps creating jobs. For all of
- 10:39Speaker 3: these migrants that they bring in, they at least fund
- 10:42Speaker 3: part of these jobs. Seventy five percent or thereabouts of
- 10:45Speaker 3: jobs in the last few years that have been created
- 10:47Speaker 3: in this country have been linked to government funding. But
- 10:51Speaker 3: it brings me to the issue of the workplace, because
- 10:54Speaker 3: we saw a pay rise this week for those on
- 10:57Speaker 3: minimum wage, a pay rise above in inflation. Of course,
- 11:00Speaker 3: that's great for people who are on minimum wage, and
- 11:03Speaker 3: I'm sure need that money to keep their heads above water.
- 11:06Speaker 3: But then you've got the concerns of small businesses who
- 11:09Speaker 3: are also trying to keep their heads above water. So
- 11:13Speaker 3: in swoops the union movement of course, sir, the ACTU
- 11:17Speaker 3: Sally McManus, the boss of came out this week and said, well,
- 11:21Speaker 3: why don't we have three day working weeks? She says,
- 11:24Speaker 3: the rise of AI in the workplace will mean that
- 11:27Speaker 3: we'll be able to get to a point where you
- 11:29Speaker 3: basically pay people for five days and they'll only have
- 11:32Speaker 3: to work three. I'm not sure how you'll be able
- 11:34Speaker 3: to explain that one to the council gardener or the
- 11:36Speaker 3: council that's employing the gardener, because I don't think AI
- 11:39Speaker 3: is going to be doing his job for the other
- 11:41Speaker 3: two days. But anyway, there's that problem. And another survey
- 11:45Speaker 3: that has been conducted by a mob called the International
- 11:48Speaker 3: Workplace Group. Now they are a company that does serviced
- 11:52Speaker 3: offices around the world and they've done a survey into
- 11:57Speaker 3: the future of the workplace. So maybe it could be
- 12:00Speaker 3: this three day work week that Sally McManus talks about.
- 12:03Speaker 3: But some interesting stats out of this survey. Seventy percent
- 12:08Speaker 3: of workers said that they believe that the daily commute
- 12:12Speaker 3: will be gone in the next twenty four years.
- 12:14Speaker 1: Wow, because they're out of a job.
- 12:17Speaker 3: By twenty fifty. They think you won't actually have to
- 12:19Speaker 3: go to work anymore. Presumably they think almost all work
- 12:23Speaker 3: will be from home. At the moment, only thirty seven
- 12:26Speaker 3: percent of workers said that they were willing to commute
- 12:29Speaker 3: to work daily. And we've seen some of that obviously
- 12:31Speaker 3: in the move to working from home. People are more
- 12:34Speaker 3: reticent to go off to work. But also it says
- 12:38Speaker 3: out of this survey that workers are expecting that sort
- 12:42Speaker 3: of sci fi technology you might call it. It certainly
- 12:45Speaker 3: is today, but they're developing it. Neural implants and immersive
- 12:50Speaker 3: virtual workplaces they believe will become standard parts of everyday
- 12:56Speaker 3: office tools by twenty fifty.
- 13:00Speaker 1: If you've seen the movie Terminator, you know by.
- 13:03Speaker 3: Twenty fifty people genuinely think that, you know, part of
- 13:06Speaker 3: your job will be that you need to have a
- 13:08Speaker 3: chip in your brain. I'm just saying now, if Scarne
- 13:13Speaker 3: News ever asked me have a chip put in my
- 13:16Speaker 3: brain in order to do my job, I will resign
- 13:19Speaker 3: on the spot.
- 13:20Speaker 5: The market do it as a late debate experiment, a
- 13:23Speaker 5: late debate, I vote for a late debate experiment. Let's
- 13:25Speaker 5: put a chip in Caleb's brain, put him on the brain.
- 13:29Speaker 4: Let's give it a word that's exactly what someone brain,
- 13:34Speaker 4: exactly you know.
- 13:35Speaker 5: First thing, to the point about this three day working week,
- 13:38Speaker 5: Sally McManus is basically contradicting herself here. She says that
- 13:41Speaker 5: she's the person you know for the workers, were the
- 13:43Speaker 5: workers first, But then she's saying, oh, no, we'll only
- 13:45Speaker 5: do a three day working week because the rest of
- 13:47Speaker 5: the time will put AI ahead. So which one do
- 13:50Speaker 5: you want, Sally McManus, seriously, but again, it is small
- 13:54Speaker 5: businesses that suffer in this country.
- 13:56Speaker 2: Not only are they up against the.
- 13:58Speaker 5: Unions who want a three day working working week, they
- 14:01Speaker 5: want mandatory working from home provisions, they've got energy costs, ir, laws,
- 14:06Speaker 5: is impossible right now to do business in this country.
- 14:09Speaker 2: Seriously. And second of all, that's stat that.
- 14:12Speaker 5: You just read out, Caleb, thirty seven percent of workers
- 14:14Speaker 5: are willing to commit to work daily. I'm sorry, thirty
- 14:18Speaker 5: seven percent only are willing to commit to working. It
- 14:23Speaker 5: even said in this research actually that the desire to
- 14:27Speaker 5: ditch peak hour is so strong, strong that one third
- 14:29Speaker 5: of Aussie's so that they would forego a pay rise
- 14:33Speaker 5: just to work from home. I personally find that extraordinary
- 14:36Speaker 5: in the middle of a cost of living crisis, that.
- 14:37Speaker 2: You would want to forego a pay rise.
- 14:39Speaker 5: Personally, I think that the cost of living is pretty bad.
- 14:42Speaker 4: That increases their productivity. It means they're doing more for less.
- 14:44Speaker 5: Well, I mean we don't well true, but I mean
- 14:47Speaker 5: wouldn't you in a cost of living crisis want to
- 14:50Speaker 5: try and get a little bit more money wherever you can.
- 14:52Speaker 5: The only other thing I worry about, of course, is
- 14:53Speaker 5: the future of CBDs that we saw during the COVID pandemic.
- 14:57Speaker 5: CBDs were basically ghost towns and a number businesses, particularly
- 15:01Speaker 5: in the restaurant and the cafe and any of the
- 15:03Speaker 5: hospitality industries, they went bust and still to this day
- 15:07Speaker 5: a number of them have not been able to be
- 15:08Speaker 5: resurrected because people still have not gone back to the
- 15:11Speaker 5: cities to work. So I worry about what this would
- 15:14Speaker 5: mean for the future of the scene.
- 15:15Speaker 4: Well, I'll tell you what, They've gone back to Sydney
- 15:17Speaker 4: and the Sydney cb day to work. As of course,
- 15:18Speaker 4: Chrismins has a very different approach to decen to al
- 15:21Speaker 4: and to get people back into the office. And I
- 15:23Speaker 4: can tell you, having just done two days, I'm, in
- 15:27Speaker 4: fact I'm uniquely equipped to answer this because I just
- 15:30Speaker 4: spent two days in the Sydney CBD hosting Telecommunications and
- 15:35Speaker 4: Tech conference, and the one that pretty much the only
- 15:39Speaker 4: thing that anyone was.
- 15:40Speaker 1: Talking about was AI.
- 15:43Speaker 4: And if you think, you know, if you think all
- 15:45Speaker 4: these changes are coming in twenty fifty or twenty forty
- 15:47Speaker 4: or twenty thirty five, they are coming tomorrow. They are
- 15:51Speaker 4: happening now and we just haven't felt the full impact
- 15:55Speaker 4: of them. But AI is going to do things that
- 15:57Speaker 4: are going to just transform everything about.
- 16:01Speaker 1: The way we leave and work. I'm not particularly happy about.
- 16:02Speaker 3: This because journals AI brain chip.
- 16:05Speaker 4: No, certainly, absolutely and no way would. But of course
- 16:09Speaker 4: it has been. It's a long joke, like everyone who's
- 16:11Speaker 4: worked at Newsical for twenty and say, oh, yeah, I
- 16:13Speaker 4: got the chip. You know that's if you leave it explode.
- 16:16Speaker 4: If you leave it explode, so you know it's still here.
- 16:19Speaker 4: So as far as I know that not being literal though,
- 16:22Speaker 4: that is just a running gag.
- 16:24Speaker 1: But you well, you never know.
- 16:26Speaker 4: But there was a guy who voluntarily got an open
- 16:29Speaker 4: card chip inserted into his hands so he could just
- 16:32Speaker 4: wave his hand on the reader and then the gates
- 16:36Speaker 4: would open.
- 16:37Speaker 1: And it turns out that you know, you can just
- 16:39Speaker 1: use your credit card.
- 16:39Speaker 3: Fine, exactly.
- 16:41Speaker 1: So this is so.
- 16:42Speaker 4: The thing is that any chip like that or anything
- 16:44Speaker 4: like that, it's going to be obsolete for so long,
- 16:46Speaker 4: even if you look at all I was looking even
- 16:48Speaker 4: just here in this amazing you know, purpose built, you know,
- 16:51Speaker 4: state of the art, high tech, futuristic, you know headquarters
- 16:55Speaker 4: that Sky has we've got and lucky for them, they've
- 16:57Speaker 4: got the two USB sized.
- 17:01Speaker 1: Charges in the powerpoints.
- 17:02Speaker 4: But of course one of them is now already obsolete,
- 17:04Speaker 4: when just a couple of years ago it was all
- 17:06Speaker 4: anybody used. Now the AI stuff. This is why Sally,
- 17:10Speaker 4: I don't think quite as a head around what it is.
- 17:12Speaker 4: It's not just either AI is going to do x
- 17:15Speaker 4: amount of work, so there won't be enough work for
- 17:19Speaker 4: us to me to do. I'll just be sitting around
- 17:21Speaker 4: doing three days a week. If you're the sort of
- 17:22Speaker 4: person who's going from five days a week to three
- 17:24Speaker 4: days a week and being paid the same amount, AI
- 17:28Speaker 4: has already eliminated your job, you are gone. The jobs
- 17:32Speaker 4: that AI is going to be taking are not traditional
- 17:37Speaker 4: blue collar union jobs because they had their own technological
- 17:40Speaker 4: revolution where blue collar workers lost their jobs to machines
- 17:44Speaker 4: and computers that did it for them. Now what AI
- 17:46Speaker 4: is going to do clusing Their name is the so
- 17:49Speaker 4: called intelligence or cerebral jobs, so it will be things
- 17:52Speaker 4: like lawyers, it will be you know, medical diagnostics. Doctors
- 17:55Speaker 4: could be in more trouble than fitters and turners. So
- 17:59Speaker 4: again I'm not sure which Sally comes from the Australian Services.
- 18:02Speaker 4: So she comes from a white collar union, so maybe
- 18:05Speaker 4: that's what she's thinking about. But those jobs, if those
- 18:08Speaker 4: jobs can be done by AI, no one's sitting around
- 18:12Speaker 4: doing a three day week. Your role is absolutely gone.
- 18:16Speaker 4: And the role that stays is the person who can
- 18:19Speaker 4: then you know, check the results of the AI you know,
- 18:22Speaker 4: a minute later, and tick off on it or not.
- 18:25Speaker 1: And so I think that to have in your head, oh.
- 18:29Speaker 4: There's going to be a sort of machine next to
- 18:31Speaker 4: me that can do the filing, you know, twice as fast,
- 18:34Speaker 4: so I'll only work half the time, has no comprehension
- 18:37Speaker 4: of just how massive it's going to turn entire industries
- 18:42Speaker 4: upside down.
- 18:43Speaker 5: Look, I think that we don't have AI is with us,
- 18:46Speaker 5: As you said, I don't think that we we can
- 18:48Speaker 5: deny the horse has absolutely bolted and look I am
- 18:52Speaker 5: four AI.
- 18:52Speaker 2: The thing I do worry about though, I doesn't care
- 18:54Speaker 2: whether you're AI.
- 18:57Speaker 5: Does chat JPT doesn't care about danaked to Georgio, and
- 18:59Speaker 5: that's fine. I like chat GPT, but I think as well,
- 19:02Speaker 5: we will lose the social impact of a workforce.
- 19:05Speaker 2: And I think that's right.
- 19:06Speaker 1: We will lose it will change what it means to
- 19:08Speaker 1: be human.
- 19:08Speaker 2: And now I think I agree.
- 19:10Speaker 4: And so one of the things I met when I
- 19:12Speaker 4: was at this conference was a robot dog, and I
- 19:16Speaker 4: can tell you I didn't much like the look of it.
- 19:19Speaker 4: Very nice people who designed it and everything. I think
- 19:21Speaker 4: it was from uts. But what's the point of having
- 19:23Speaker 4: a robot dog? You want a real dog. You want
- 19:26Speaker 4: something that you feel emotional connection to, that you can cuddle,
- 19:29Speaker 4: that you can put on your balcony and let it
- 19:31Speaker 4: bark for an hour or so. Because that's what these
- 19:33Speaker 4: residents in Brisbane did, these two young couple, lovely people.
- 19:38Speaker 4: Apparently someone sit there on anyway, I won't say that
- 19:42Speaker 4: just in case, but they had moved into a new
- 19:45Speaker 4: property on the Sunshine Soorry from the Sunshine Coaster, a
- 19:49Speaker 4: new home in Brisbane, and within twenty four hours of
- 19:52Speaker 4: being there, which has got to be a new land
- 19:54Speaker 4: speed record, they had received a complaint from their neighbor,
- 19:59Speaker 4: who we you can only assume is called Karen, because
- 20:03Speaker 4: they had their dogs on the balcony.
- 20:08Speaker 1: For an hour.
- 20:09Speaker 4: Or so, they said, and the dogs are barking, and
- 20:11Speaker 4: the neighbor threatened to report them to the RSPCA, and
- 20:18Speaker 4: these guys are just absolutely so.
- 20:21Speaker 1: They've said, in their defense.
- 20:22Speaker 4: Look, the only reason we had them on the balcony
- 20:24Speaker 4: is because we haven't got offense on the property yet
- 20:27Speaker 4: and we had trade's there so they couldn't be in
- 20:29Speaker 4: the house, and so for their safety, we just had
- 20:31Speaker 4: them on balcony.
- 20:32Speaker 1: It was just an hour, you know. And yeah, they're barking,
- 20:35Speaker 1: but whatever.
- 20:35Speaker 4: That's not particularly long amount of time to have to
- 20:38Speaker 4: put up with a little bit of barking.
- 20:39Speaker 1: And you would think that if you're going, if you.
- 20:42Speaker 4: Cared so much about the animal's welfare that you were
- 20:45Speaker 4: going to report to the RSPCA, that you would actually, well,
- 20:48Speaker 4: let's not play.
- 20:49Speaker 2: Let's play. Let's play what the couple said in their defense, we've.
- 20:54Speaker 7: Been in their house for a week and were already
- 20:55Speaker 7: happy for the neighbors.
- 20:56Speaker 2: Fun fact, it was within twenty four hours of USS
- 20:59Speaker 2: moving in.
- 21:00Speaker 7: Dogs in distressed Please take this as a first and
- 21:03Speaker 7: final notice. Only time they were on the balcony was
- 21:06Speaker 7: because they were electricians doing electricity work in our house,
- 21:09Speaker 7: so having the dogs inside wasn't safe business.
- 21:14Speaker 1: You said, exactly what I know.
- 21:15Speaker 2: I think that is a completely fair argument.
- 21:17Speaker 5: They had just moved into the property, that for twenty
- 21:19Speaker 5: four hours they put the dogs on the balcony while
- 21:22Speaker 5: electrical work was being conducted inside.
- 21:24Speaker 2: They were trying to be safe.
- 21:26Speaker 5: They were trying to prevent any sort of accident or injury.
- 21:29Speaker 5: And this Karen's already on the blower to the RSPCA
- 21:32Speaker 5: trying to dob them in. I think this is actually ridiculous. Now,
- 21:36Speaker 5: I do think there is.
- 21:37Speaker 4: There any circumstance in which you would pick up a
- 21:40Speaker 4: call pick up phone and call the rsp or authorities
- 21:43Speaker 4: about a neighbor or a neighbor's dog.
- 21:45Speaker 5: If I witnessed any sort of abuse, if I felt
- 21:47Speaker 5: like the dog or any animal was being abused, one
- 21:50Speaker 5: hundred percent, I would get on the phone straight away.
- 21:53Speaker 2: If the dog I could hear.
- 21:55Speaker 5: Barking or crying for long periods on end, and I
- 21:58Speaker 5: felt like with the homeowner said, for twenty four hours,
- 22:02Speaker 5: but they were there, they were there. It wasn't like
- 22:03Speaker 5: they were neglected on the balcony, but you know.
- 22:05Speaker 1: They were maybe they were about to jump couple.
- 22:08Speaker 2: This couple was there.
- 22:09Speaker 5: Now, there are cases, obviously where dogs are kept inside
- 22:12Speaker 5: for a long periods of time, and I do understand
- 22:14Speaker 5: it absolutely irritates the crap out of neighbors when dogs are.
- 22:17Speaker 2: Just barking, barking, barking, barking, barking.
- 22:19Speaker 5: Now, if it happens multiple times over and over, then
- 22:22Speaker 5: I think maybe you have a right to not necessarily
- 22:25Speaker 5: go the RSPCA, but maybe I llert the council that.
- 22:27Speaker 2: There was a dog that is driving through.
- 22:30Speaker 5: Well, I mean, you know, I mean, I've had my
- 22:32Speaker 5: own experience with annoying neighbors.
- 22:33Speaker 4: Okay, this is what I want to get out, exactly
- 22:36Speaker 4: what I want to get But what did dog do?
- 22:38Speaker 1: Were you that? Were you? Were you the complainer or
- 22:40Speaker 1: the complainer?
- 22:42Speaker 5: Well, it has nothing to do with dogs. What happened
- 22:44Speaker 5: with my neighbor? So well, my neighbor was we're a prostitute.
- 22:52Speaker 1: Okay, that escalated quickly.
- 22:54Speaker 2: Yeah, it did escalate pretty quickly. Does she have a dog?
- 22:58Speaker 2: Or by the sounds that I heard at two am.
- 22:59Speaker 1: And the more it was a noise complaint.
- 23:02Speaker 5: But the point is that, yes, so there were multiple
- 23:06Speaker 5: noise complaints, and I loved the.
- 23:08Speaker 1: From the parties involve I loved.
- 23:10Speaker 5: I loved leaving home at four am one morning for
- 23:13Speaker 5: a shift work for a shift when I was working
- 23:15Speaker 5: in reporting, and there was an old man knocking at
- 23:17Speaker 5: her door. It would have been in his seventies, so
- 23:19Speaker 5: that was fun. She was in her twenties. But anyway,
- 23:21Speaker 5: it was a complaint made by all of the neighbors
- 23:24Speaker 5: along my floor.
- 23:24Speaker 2: I just want to point out, but I earn a living.
- 23:28Speaker 4: You know, she's not out there with her hand out
- 23:30Speaker 4: asking for government benefits. You know, she's probably an Australian citizen.
- 23:34Speaker 4: You know, well, I don't know, trying to pay off
- 23:36Speaker 4: the mortgage and you.
- 23:37Speaker 3: Doing the sole traders that's right, small business woman said.
- 23:43Speaker 2: Businesses and the topic.
- 23:45Speaker 3: So what was the outcome of your complaint?
- 23:47Speaker 2: So she was evicted eventually, really she was evicted. Yeah
- 23:51Speaker 2: there were.
- 23:51Speaker 3: Other noose sex We're British, but.
- 23:56Speaker 2: Yeah, this was pretty bad. This was really really bad.
- 24:00Speaker 5: I was frustrated, Like you wouldn't believe it was driving.
- 24:03Speaker 4: Why don't you you know a bit of double glazing,
- 24:06Speaker 4: you know, a bit of downproof.
- 24:09Speaker 2: I don't think that would have had much of an impact.
- 24:12Speaker 3: When evicted by Danika to Georgia. No, but yeah, yeah,
- 24:15Speaker 3: I can understand it being a probably can two things
- 24:17Speaker 3: be true at once in the case of the dog,
- 24:19Speaker 3: because if there was a dog, someone's just moved in
- 24:23Speaker 3: and within a day of them being there they put
- 24:25Speaker 3: the dogs on the balcony and they start barking away
- 24:28Speaker 3: for an hour, you might think, oh my god, this
- 24:32Speaker 3: is this is how it's going to be now that
- 24:34Speaker 3: these new neighbors are here. Now, I'm not saying it
- 24:36Speaker 3: was the right course of action to go and send
- 24:38Speaker 3: them some sort of threatening letter saying if you do anymore,
- 24:41Speaker 3: I'm going to call ours PCA immediately. Like maybe you
- 24:44Speaker 3: go around and knock on the door and say, look,
- 24:47Speaker 3: I know you've just moved in, nice to meet you.
- 24:50Speaker 3: You know, I'm trying to do some work. Your dogs
- 24:52Speaker 3: are really annoying on the balcony whatever, And then they
- 24:54Speaker 3: can say, look, really sorry, it's just because the traders
- 24:57Speaker 3: are here for an hour. We'll take them in after that.
- 25:00Speaker 3: No more problem. Like there are bitter ways to handle
- 25:02Speaker 3: this kind of stuff. But I but I understand where
- 25:05Speaker 3: the frustration comes from.
- 25:06Speaker 4: This is exactly and I think you've actually nailed it.
- 25:09Speaker 4: I don't think it's about the dogs at all. I
- 25:12Speaker 4: think there are just two types of people in the world.
- 25:14Speaker 4: There are people who like to complain and will look
- 25:17Speaker 4: for any reason to do so, people like Danika to Georgia,
- 25:21Speaker 4: that's what they all say. And there are people like
- 25:24Speaker 4: I dare say, my good self. I remember listened to
- 25:27Speaker 4: a historian who said that he would have been terrible
- 25:30Speaker 4: if he was on the Titanic, because he would have
- 25:32Speaker 4: condemned his entire family to death, because he would have
- 25:35Speaker 4: just stood there and says, now, now, Darling, I'm sure
- 25:37Speaker 4: the captain knows what he's doing. Let's not bother him.
- 25:39Speaker 4: It seems very busy, and I am very much like that.
- 25:41Speaker 4: I would if I if I thought there was a
- 25:43Speaker 4: dead body in my neighbour's backyard, I still wouldn't pick
- 25:48Speaker 4: up the phone and complain, because.
- 25:49Speaker 5: I just if a dog was barking at all hours
- 25:52Speaker 5: of the night, every night, complainer, you wouldn't complain about it,
- 25:55Speaker 5: and it's making you from your sleep, you would move.
- 25:58Speaker 1: I don't want to make a fuss yep Wow, like
- 26:00Speaker 1: making a fast?
- 26:02Speaker 3: You ever made it? As a journalist, Joe, making a
- 26:04Speaker 3: fast is often a large part of the job.
- 26:07Speaker 4: I was, how's this this? This could be some This
- 26:09Speaker 4: would be cheaper. It's cheaper to say it on TV
- 26:11Speaker 4: than it is in therapy. But my dad was once
- 26:13Speaker 4: cutting me eye holes for a Batman mask, and he
- 26:17Speaker 4: actually had a bit of my perhaps foolishly was cutting
- 26:21Speaker 4: the eye holes while I had the mask on my head,
- 26:24Speaker 4: so I hadn't really thought it through, and I could
- 26:26Speaker 4: hear when he pulled the material up he actually had
- 26:29Speaker 4: a bit of He had my kind of eyelid in it,
- 26:33Speaker 4: and I knew he was about to cut a hole
- 26:35Speaker 4: in my eyelid. And I said nothing because I didn't
- 26:39Speaker 4: want to.
- 26:39Speaker 1: I didn't want to.
- 26:40Speaker 4: I didn't want to upset him. I didn't want to
- 26:41Speaker 4: bother him. I didn't want to make a fast. And
- 26:44Speaker 4: that was when I was what you know, dressing up
- 26:46Speaker 4: as a superhero in stocking.
- 26:48Speaker 1: So what thirty five years old.
- 26:50Speaker 2: It's incredible we heard a lot about each other. Really,
- 26:54Speaker 2: this is a very intimate gathering of the lake I.
- 26:57Speaker 4: Had roped up because next door neighbor's house got Batman
- 27:00Speaker 4: costume that's where the complains.
- 27:04Speaker 2: At two am in the morning as you were knockick on.
- 27:06Speaker 1: The top a crime.
- 27:08Speaker 3: I have to say, work in intimate gatherings at the
- 27:10Speaker 3: apartment next that.
- 27:13Speaker 4: I'll be out there and I'll find you, and potentially
- 27:16Speaker 4: no intimate gatherings at the MCG either. How's that for
- 27:20Speaker 4: a segue. So this is just the funniest story in
- 27:24Speaker 4: the world. Anyone who knows Melbourne knows that Melbourne Cricket
- 27:29Speaker 4: Club knows that it is the stuffiest organization on the planet.
- 27:34Speaker 4: People are constantly getting upbraided for, you know, ladies not
- 27:38Speaker 4: having the correct length.
- 27:39Speaker 1: Of their dress or whatever, whatever, whatever it is.
- 27:42Speaker 4: So, but the MCC has waded into the gender debate,
- 27:49Speaker 4: it is waged in, waded into the trans wars, and
- 27:54Speaker 4: it has come out with its policy position on this
- 27:58Speaker 4: furious debate. We've had giggle versus tickle, you know, We've
- 28:02Speaker 4: had JK rowling, We've had women complaining about trans women,
- 28:08Speaker 4: biological men using their most private and intimate spaces. And
- 28:13Speaker 4: the MCC, is venerable institution that's almost two centuries old,
- 28:18Speaker 4: has decided it is going to weigh into this debate.
- 28:22Speaker 4: Boots in all and declare its position and its position,
- 28:26Speaker 4: I kid you not. As incredibly well reported by The Australian,
- 28:31Speaker 4: its position is that if you are a woman, a
- 28:37Speaker 4: biological woman who identifies as male, then you have to
- 28:43Speaker 4: wear a collar. They have actually said, okay, right, we've
- 28:48Speaker 4: thought about it.
- 28:49Speaker 1: We've had the board meeting.
- 28:51Speaker 4: You know, we've pulled out the G ANDTS sundown if
- 28:54Speaker 4: you identify as a male, If you're a biological woman
- 28:58Speaker 4: who identifies as male as a man, and you are
- 29:03Speaker 4: aged eighteen or over, you have to wear a collar.
- 29:06Speaker 1: To get into the members section.
- 29:10Speaker 3: Why, like, seriously, Yes, it's just ridiculous, isn't it. It's
- 29:15Speaker 3: because this is what IT now sees in their rules.
- 29:17Speaker 3: It says members and their guests who identify as male
- 29:22Speaker 3: and are age seventeen years and over must wear a
- 29:24Speaker 3: collared shirt at all times. This continues to be the
- 29:27Speaker 3: major reason for male members and guests being denied. No.
- 29:31Speaker 3: I note they say they're who identify as male, and
- 29:34Speaker 3: then later on they say the major reason for male members.
- 29:37Speaker 3: They didn't say members who identify as males. They're having
- 29:40Speaker 3: a bob each way.
- 29:41Speaker 1: Well, male members who don't have male members.
- 29:43Speaker 2: Wow, that's right.
- 29:46Speaker 3: I mean, seriously, how are they now going to determine
- 29:50Speaker 3: who is and is not a male? Like this weekend
- 29:53Speaker 3: at the Footing, there will there will be a lot
- 29:55Speaker 3: of being with beards wearing Oh sorry, women with beards
- 29:59Speaker 3: are wearing T shirts because they'll rock up the MC
- 30:02Speaker 3: scene and say, well, I don't identify as male. I
- 30:04Speaker 3: don't need to wear a collar, do I surely you
- 30:06Speaker 3: can let me in. I wouldn't had a look because
- 30:08Speaker 3: I'm a member of the Saker, the South Australian Cricket Association,
- 30:13Speaker 3: and indeed their rules say the same thing. It says
- 30:16Speaker 3: members and their guests who identify as male must wear
- 30:19Speaker 3: a collared shirt. Now, the collared shirt thing has always
- 30:21Speaker 3: been in place, so I have no issue with that.
- 30:23Speaker 3: We should have standards in the members, Like why does
- 30:27Speaker 3: it need to be about identify as male. I'm pretty
- 30:30Speaker 3: sure all of us, you know, even though some want
- 30:33Speaker 3: us to just you know, not believe our lying eyes.
- 30:37Speaker 3: We know what a male is and what a female is.
- 30:40Speaker 3: We don't need to have rules for people who identify as.
- 30:44Speaker 1: Wants to draw in the MC.
- 30:46Speaker 5: I was going to say, Caleb, I mean, gosh, you
- 30:48Speaker 5: got to be careful where you talk such common sense.
- 30:50Speaker 5: You could get hold in front of a court, just
- 30:51Speaker 5: like sal Grover didn't talk in such common sense.
- 30:54Speaker 2: That is part of the problem. But isn't it such
- 30:57Speaker 2: a shame that I could.
- 30:57Speaker 3: Called in front of some cricket club quango until disreputable
- 31:02Speaker 3: to the club or something.
- 31:04Speaker 2: You know?
- 31:04Speaker 5: Isn't it just so sad now that organizations don't know
- 31:08Speaker 5: they feel obliged to address the general this is the problem, right,
- 31:12Speaker 5: because you could just leave it and not say anything.
- 31:15Speaker 5: You're right because prior to I would say, about five
- 31:18Speaker 5: to six years ago, this was never an issue. You
- 31:20Speaker 5: never had to go Is this person a man? Or
- 31:22Speaker 5: no one woul ever spoke about it. But because it's
- 31:24Speaker 5: been so highly politicized and it's on this ideological trans
- 31:28Speaker 5: trade into the never never, suddenly it's all, well, we
- 31:31Speaker 5: better make a policy because otherwise we're worried that we
- 31:34Speaker 5: might fall foul of history, when history would suggest that
- 31:38Speaker 5: basic biology.
- 31:39Speaker 2: Is actually pretty simples.
- 31:41Speaker 4: Is where they keep kicking own goals. They then keep
- 31:45Speaker 4: giving your own goals because they they spend god knows
- 31:50Speaker 4: how long and God knows how many resources coming up
- 31:54Speaker 4: with completely imaginary hypothetical scenarios that they then have to say,
- 32:00Speaker 4: how fine a solution for even when it has never
- 32:04Speaker 4: actually happened and probably will never actually happen, and indeed,
- 32:09Speaker 4: on the tiny chance that it did happen, would be
- 32:12Speaker 4: some point a distant speck of dust in the future
- 32:15Speaker 4: which could easily be resolved by the people involved without
- 32:17Speaker 4: any needs for policy or blah blah. And this is
- 32:20Speaker 4: exactly why people lost their minds, and rightly so, because
- 32:24Speaker 4: it was so idiotic when the sex Discrimination Commissioner at
- 32:28Speaker 4: the Australian Human Rights Commission started talking about why trans
- 32:32Speaker 4: women needed protection against being discriminated against on the basis
- 32:37Speaker 4: of being pregnant, and you had Makaulae Cash in the
- 32:41Speaker 4: Senate going, but they can't get pregnant, and she says, ah, yes,
- 32:45Speaker 4: but we have envisaged a completely again hypothetical, fantastical, imagine
- 32:52Speaker 4: scenario that did not happen in the real world and
- 32:55Speaker 4: probably will never happen in the real world, in which
- 32:59Speaker 4: a trans warman is discriminated against by a potential employer
- 33:04Speaker 4: who thinks that she is going to get pregnant for
- 33:11Speaker 4: even though there is actually no way that she can.
- 33:13Speaker 4: So it's just bonkers, and the MSAC is almost the
- 33:16Speaker 4: perfect like it's almost satires. I almost like, all right,
- 33:19Speaker 4: you want us to come up with the Crans policy, Fine,
- 33:21Speaker 4: wear a collar like everybody else.
- 33:22Speaker 3: Well, you know what I would say, I don't identify
- 33:24Speaker 3: as male. I just am male, and I don't have
- 33:26Speaker 3: much choice in that. So maybe I get to evade
- 33:28Speaker 3: the rules as part of because I don't identify. It's
- 33:31Speaker 3: not up to me. I just am, by the way,
- 33:34Speaker 3: in the Sacker rules as far as I can tell,
- 33:36Speaker 3: with all the stuff. But you know, you can't show
- 33:37Speaker 3: mid riffs, but certain dresses are acceptable. It doesn't say
- 33:40Speaker 3: only for women. So if you want to go to
- 33:42Speaker 3: the Adelaide test this year as a bloke in the dress,
- 33:44Speaker 3: so I think you're actually allowed to do so.
- 33:46Speaker 2: Now.
- 33:46Speaker 3: Of course, we talked about this story last night, just
- 33:49Speaker 3: a horrific story out of England about a young man,
- 33:53Speaker 3: Henry Novak, who of course died while he was being
- 33:56Speaker 3: taken into custody because the police believed his attacker, a
- 34:02Speaker 3: Sikh man who said that he had been racially vilified
- 34:06Speaker 3: by this young man, and so when he said I'm
- 34:08Speaker 3: being stabbed, the police said, I don't think you have
- 34:11Speaker 3: been mate, and then they put the handcuffs on him,
- 34:13Speaker 3: and then he said I can't breathe, and then well,
- 34:16Speaker 3: they didn't do a great deal at all. And you're
- 34:18Speaker 3: probably wondering, how do we get to this point? And
- 34:20Speaker 3: of course we get to this point because we drive
- 34:22Speaker 3: it into the heads of these coppers that they have
- 34:25Speaker 3: to take the racial element more seriously than a white
- 34:28Speaker 3: man saying that he's literally been stabbed and he is dying.
- 34:32Speaker 3: And we find out today via The Times of London
- 34:37Speaker 3: that police in the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary
- 34:42Speaker 3: had a survey not too long ago that the paper
- 34:45Speaker 3: got its hands on that according to the Times, this
- 34:48Speaker 3: is a recent staff a survey uncovered by The Times.
- 34:51Speaker 3: This is the reporting of GBN News found one in
- 34:54Speaker 3: seven of those at that force had felt quote controlled
- 34:57Speaker 3: and pressured to adopt the notion of unconscious bias, to
- 35:02Speaker 3: be aware of racism, to be aware of privilege, even
- 35:05Speaker 3: such things as critical race theory, and that they were
- 35:08Speaker 3: living in fear that quote mistakes would have been held
- 35:11Speaker 3: against me. A fifth also said that they feared been
- 35:14Speaker 3: rejected for saying the wrong thing, the same defense used
- 35:17Speaker 3: to justify not pursuing criminal charges against those involved in
- 35:21Speaker 3: grooming gang scandals, so you can understand. And I don't
- 35:28Speaker 3: want to defend the officers in this situation because what
- 35:31Speaker 3: they did was absolutely wrong and it was racist, as
- 35:33Speaker 3: I said last night, But from on high, these officers
- 35:38Speaker 3: are having drummed into them that races are really important
- 35:42Speaker 3: part of their policing, and we have now seen the
- 35:45Speaker 3: logical conclusion of that, where they have chosen to look
- 35:48Speaker 3: at the racial element over the actual safety and criminality
- 35:53Speaker 3: that is in front of their faces.
- 35:55Speaker 5: Nigel Farage was earlier on Paul Murray. He said it's
- 35:58Speaker 5: time to get rid of de This is what he said.
- 36:02Speaker 1: You have to get rid of DEI.
- 36:04Speaker 8: You have to get rid of positive discrimination and you
- 36:08Speaker 8: have to tell those police officers you police everybody equally
- 36:13Speaker 8: and you use your judgment and we will back you
- 36:16Speaker 8: all the way as police officers. I've had so many
- 36:18Speaker 8: emails over the last few days from police officers telling
- 36:21Speaker 8: me their biggest fear is to be accused by a
- 36:24Speaker 8: member of the public as having acted in a racially
- 36:27Speaker 8: motivated way, because they will be suspended immediately.
- 36:31Speaker 5: And so this is exactly the problem the ideology that
- 36:33Speaker 5: has captured not only law enforcement but also politicians at large.
- 36:38Speaker 5: Even over in the UK, you remember the rape gang scandal.
- 36:41Speaker 2: There was a huge.
- 36:42Speaker 5: Cover up because officers feared that they would be called
- 36:45Speaker 5: racist given that the perpetrators were mainly, not all, but
- 36:49Speaker 5: mainly of Pakistani origin.
- 36:51Speaker 2: But DEI in any sort of law enforcement is a concern.
- 36:55Speaker 1: Now.
- 36:55Speaker 5: I know this is a very different story, but we
- 36:57Speaker 5: saw it over in the US when one of the
- 37:00Speaker 5: Donald Trump assassination attempts, when the Secret Service was full
- 37:04Speaker 5: of women who were tiny and they couldn't support him.
- 37:07Speaker 5: But because the Secret Service had DEI policies in place,
- 37:10Speaker 5: it meant the wrong people were being put into the jobs.
- 37:13Speaker 5: If we don't change these policies, more and more people
- 37:17Speaker 5: are going.
- 37:17Speaker 2: To be killed or injured. And it is a blight
- 37:21Speaker 2: on society that we have allowed officers.
- 37:24Speaker 5: Or anyone for that matter, to be so scared to
- 37:26Speaker 5: speak the truth, to be so scared to do their
- 37:29Speaker 5: own jobs to the best of their ability, to their
- 37:31Speaker 5: full capability, out of concern of being called racist or
- 37:36Speaker 5: a bigot or xenophobic. What sort of a message are
- 37:40Speaker 5: we sending.
- 37:41Speaker 1: Yeah, it's absolutely bonkers.
- 37:42Speaker 4: And the UK and their justice system or the way
- 37:46Speaker 4: that they prosecute people is for me, it's just something
- 37:49Speaker 4: I cannot get my head around.
- 37:50Speaker 1: It's just a lost cause.
- 37:51Speaker 4: And I think this will happen, and I think that
- 37:55Speaker 4: if any possible good can come out of it will
- 37:58Speaker 4: be that there is some kind of degree of common
- 37:59Speaker 4: sense be actions like these that are why people are
- 38:03Speaker 4: turning to reform, to Nigel Farage, to Donald Trump in
- 38:07Speaker 4: the US, and to Paul En Hanson here because they
- 38:09Speaker 4: just look at that and they think that is absolutely crazy.
- 38:12Speaker 4: And anyone who is defending it, I want them gone.
- 38:15Speaker 4: I want no part of it. I will choose anything.
- 38:18Speaker 2: But no, I agree.
- 38:19Speaker 5: And the sad part is an innocent eighteen year old
- 38:22Speaker 5: has lost their life and if you've seen that vision,
- 38:25Speaker 5: it's absolutely horrific. We're going to take a quick break
- 38:28Speaker 5: and coming up, but next we'll take a look at
- 38:30Speaker 5: tomorrow's front pages, including Victorian taxpayers being forced to put
- 38:34Speaker 5: the bill so that prisoners can get weight loss jabs
- 38:37Speaker 5: behind bars another day in Victoria.
- 38:40Speaker 2: That's next. Welcome back.
- 38:48Speaker 5: Let's take a look now at the front pages. What's
- 38:50Speaker 5: making headlines tomorrow. Cayleb you've got the Herald's.
- 38:52Speaker 3: Son, indeed, Dodnika where it says lamb shank redemption. That's
- 38:58Speaker 3: a good one here from Karlie Douglas. Are you'll be
- 39:00Speaker 3: surprised to know Joe good friend of mine.
- 39:02Speaker 1: Oh God.
- 39:03Speaker 3: Tax says are footing the bill for prisoners to access
- 39:06Speaker 3: weight loss drugs ozempic and munjaro behind bars. While regular
- 39:11Speaker 3: victorians pay up to almost seven hundred dollars a month.
- 39:14Speaker 3: The Herald Sun can reveal murderers, rapists, and pedophiles. All
- 39:18Speaker 3: the best people in the world obviously looking to shed
- 39:20Speaker 3: a few kilos while in jail, are able to access
- 39:23Speaker 3: the weight loss drug. Prison guards, speaking anonymously said inmates
- 39:27Speaker 3: would quote go nuts if they didn't get their doz
- 39:30Speaker 3: for something my god or munjaro. Now, look, I I
- 39:35Speaker 3: just you know, strange idea, I know, but I thought
- 39:38Speaker 3: the whole point of prison was that, you know, it
- 39:40Speaker 3: was a bit of a punishment, and you don't get
- 39:42Speaker 3: the same things that everyone else does. And if you
- 39:46Speaker 3: go nuts quote unquote because you can't get your hands
- 39:49Speaker 3: on some ozimpic, surely you're in line for a little
- 39:53Speaker 3: bit more punishment, aren't you? Not to not the provision
- 39:57Speaker 3: of ozempic or munjaro at no cop lost.
- 40:00Speaker 1: Maybe they're just trying to save money on the catering bill.
- 40:06Speaker 4: Imagine how much mashed potato they be pocketing now they
- 40:10Speaker 4: don't have to keep your head out to these.
- 40:12Speaker 5: They've lost their appetites. I'm a bit seriously, how can.
- 40:17Speaker 2: The Alan government explain this one? Now? It just gets
- 40:20Speaker 2: worse and worse for the Victorian taxpayer.
- 40:22Speaker 5: If you're watching for Victoria to I feel sorry for
- 40:24Speaker 5: you because it's another burden on the taxpayer.
- 40:28Speaker 3: Well, you know, at least though there is another element.
- 40:31Speaker 3: It might not just be about saving all the food.
- 40:33Speaker 3: It could be because you know, they've got a shortage
- 40:35Speaker 3: of prison spaces in Victoria. If they put them all
- 40:38Speaker 3: on the Munjaro and the oz exactly gets slimmer, they
- 40:41Speaker 3: can shove more to a bed.
- 40:42Speaker 2: Top and tail maybe they could or something a lot
- 40:47Speaker 2: of creaking beds.
- 40:49Speaker 3: Jeez, I thought that was happening next door to you.
- 40:51Speaker 3: It what happened to like that?
- 40:53Speaker 5: You know, when the mattress gets given the former Treasurer
- 40:58Speaker 5: of South Australia won't see.
- 41:00Speaker 3: To rackham and pack them and stack them and that's
- 41:03Speaker 3: what they'll be doing with Yeah, hi prisoners.
- 41:04Speaker 5: All right, there you go let's look at the Daily
- 41:06Speaker 5: Telegraph tomorrow. Ahmed assault Bondi hero allegedly put his father
- 41:11Speaker 5: in a headlock. Bondi hero Ahmed our Armed has been
- 41:14Speaker 5: charged after allegedly putting his father in a headlock. Al Hmed,
- 41:17Speaker 5: who disarmed terrorists aaj Akram during the December terror attack
- 41:21Speaker 5: Bondi Beach, has now been charged with common assault, stalking
- 41:25Speaker 5: or intimidation following an investigation that began nearly three months ago.
- 41:31Speaker 2: Wow, so that's that's a real bummer, isn't it.
- 41:33Speaker 1: You know you thought you had ah.
- 41:35Speaker 4: Look, yes, we've got these terrorists who are absolutely awful,
- 41:38Speaker 4: but we also have this hero who saved the day
- 41:41Speaker 4: by tackling a terrorist and wrestling him to the ground,
- 41:45Speaker 4: and it turned out it was just a guy who
- 41:47Speaker 4: just really liked tackling people. Yeah, allegedly allegedly allegedly. Yeah,
- 41:52Speaker 4: I don't know, It's just you can't who can you
- 41:54Speaker 4: believe in? You know, this way, you'd never meet your
- 41:56Speaker 4: heroes anyway.
- 41:58Speaker 1: The Daily.
- 42:00Speaker 4: Advertiser, i should say, has one of the all time
- 42:02Speaker 4: great front pages in the history of front pages. This is,
- 42:07Speaker 4: of course, my great friend Peter Melnowskus never met him
- 42:11Speaker 4: but I'm sure if we did meet, we'd really get long.
- 42:14Speaker 3: To meet him.
- 42:16Speaker 1: There you go, we could have the handshake game.
- 42:19Speaker 4: No, but I do have the phone number of the
- 42:21Speaker 4: bloke next to him, Tom kuts and Tonus the Greatest
- 42:24Speaker 4: Coats is unreal, the greatest greatest treasurer of all time.
- 42:29Speaker 1: Just ask him.
- 42:33Speaker 4: World's greatest treasure So he is awesome. But I have
- 42:38Speaker 4: to give it to the Tizer here because the story, obviously,
- 42:41Speaker 4: which I tragically am familiar with, is that they have,
- 42:46Speaker 4: despite being vari austute economic managers, South Australia has wracked up.
- 42:50Speaker 3: Just a deany, diny little bit of that.
- 42:53Speaker 4: And so the tires has just gone to town with
- 42:55Speaker 4: debt Shop Boys limited edition fifty three billion dollar album
- 43:00Speaker 4: of Greatest Hits. State debt will explode to fifty three
- 43:03Speaker 4: point sixty five billion for the first time with the
- 43:06Speaker 4: blowout to fund the fifteen point four billion dollar South
- 43:09Speaker 4: Road Tunnels, the three point two billion dollar new women
- 43:13Speaker 4: and Children's Hospital, and handing down the State Buddy. Yesterday,
- 43:16Speaker 4: Treasurer Tom Kotz and Tonus Absolute Superstar insisted South Australia
- 43:20Speaker 4: was not following the path of Victoria because revenue was
- 43:22Speaker 4: growing to one hundred and five million dollar a day,
- 43:25Speaker 4: driving down debt to revenue ratios. Good point, well made
- 43:28Speaker 4: coats and blah blah blah blah blah. The other really
- 43:31Speaker 4: funny thing in it is that Peter Malanowskis had a
- 43:36Speaker 4: quiet little at the Albanezi government and said, well, you know,
- 43:40Speaker 4: we're just keeping all our promises.
- 43:45Speaker 1: Twisting the nights.
- 43:46Speaker 5: Wow, that's bad though, that is horrendous debts.
- 43:50Speaker 3: No, it's fine.
- 43:51Speaker 1: Didn't you read what he said?
- 43:52Speaker 3: It's all fine, just because if they say it's fine,
- 43:55Speaker 3: it must be fun. I mean, that's a very good
- 43:56Speaker 3: point you make about the jabb At elbow, because it's
- 43:59Speaker 3: almost every labor premier now has had a jab at
- 44:02Speaker 3: him over the changes.
- 44:03Speaker 4: Not just the outgoing, No, not not just but Roger.
- 44:07Speaker 1: The loyalty follower.
- 44:08Speaker 3: Roger Cook's been into him, Chris Min's has been into
- 44:10Speaker 3: it now, Peter Malanowskis has been into him. Not many
- 44:13Speaker 3: friends in the very friendless, but you know, fifty three
- 44:16Speaker 3: billion dollars of debt, it's at some point we have
- 44:19Speaker 3: to pay this stuff back, exactly, And who is it
- 44:22Speaker 3: going to be paying it back? Not the people who
- 44:24Speaker 3: are making decisions today. That's for sure. You want to
- 44:27Speaker 3: talk about intergenerational equity. I think debt is a pretty
- 44:30Speaker 3: good place to start. On the front of The Australian tomorrow,
- 44:33Speaker 3: speaking of budgetary matters, it says PM budget is a
- 44:37Speaker 3: cure for grievance. Anthony Albanez. He says his government needed
- 44:40Speaker 3: to undertake contentious tax reform to protect Australia from joining
- 44:43Speaker 3: the social and economic dislocation we see overseas of insurging
- 44:48Speaker 3: support for one nation. In a speech to the Australian
- 44:50Speaker 3: Economic Outlook twenty twenty sixth summit jointly hosted by a
- 44:53Speaker 3: scar using The Australian, the Prime Minister will strongly defend
- 44:56Speaker 3: his budget of broken promises, rebuff calls were big changes
- 44:59Speaker 3: of the capital game, text, discount hit on businesses and
- 45:02Speaker 3: investors and declar Australia open for international business investment under
- 45:07Speaker 3: his government. The bloke's been on the copia, thank you
- 45:11Speaker 3: for this is going to work, and.
- 45:14Speaker 4: Yeah we need more international investment because now we can
- 45:16Speaker 4: tax twice as much.
- 45:17Speaker 3: We're open for business.
- 45:18Speaker 5: Come on, let's take a quick look at the courier
- 45:20Speaker 5: mail cops four hundred million dollar black hole taxpayer cache
- 45:24Speaker 5: meant to pay for frontline police officers was spent on
- 45:26Speaker 5: hiring civilian staff for damning. Reporting to Queensland Police Finances
- 45:29Speaker 5: reveals the audit found QPS is facing a four hundred
- 45:32Speaker 5: million dollar funding black hole.
- 45:35Speaker 1: Some Oh, I think that black hole.
- 45:38Speaker 5: We're just not blackout in our studio. That's that's terrific.
- 45:41Speaker 2: Well this might be.
- 45:43Speaker 4: I think we should go and work for the police
- 45:45Speaker 4: force and cops should come.
- 45:48Speaker 5: Now, what we're going to do while we get to blackout?
- 45:50Speaker 5: Sort and we're going to go take a quick break.
- 45:52Speaker 2: Coming up. You won't want to miss what happened. We're back.
- 45:55Speaker 1: We're back. Coming up.
- 45:58Speaker 5: After the break, we'll show you what a cup on
- 46:00Speaker 5: Safari missed while they were out some baking.
- 46:02Speaker 2: That's next. Welcome back to the show.
- 46:09Speaker 5: Well, not everyone on their fits bow journey is having
- 46:11Speaker 5: much luck, are they, Caleb?
- 46:13Speaker 3: No, I mean you'd be mistaken for thinking this was
- 46:16Speaker 3: a vision of me going to the gym. The only
- 46:19Speaker 3: problem with that would be that I don't go to
- 46:21Speaker 3: the gym, So it would not be vision.
- 46:22Speaker 1: Of when you look as good naturally, a vision where improve.
- 46:28Speaker 3: Manas good as I do. I mean, you don't need
- 46:31Speaker 3: to go to the gym. I do my exercises every
- 46:33Speaker 3: night with glass in hand. I do my arm exercises
- 46:36Speaker 3: like this, you know, keeps me big and.
- 46:38Speaker 2: Strong, cut your steak as well.
- 46:39Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, you know I'm doing all the work right
- 46:42Speaker 3: and you know, a bit of walking every now and again.
- 46:45Speaker 3: Just good to the pub. But if I were to
- 46:48Speaker 3: go to the gym, it would probably look something like this.
- 46:59Speaker 3: By that, that's not a terribly successful Is it his
- 47:04Speaker 3: first time going on a trademill?
- 47:05Speaker 2: I think so.
- 47:06Speaker 4: I feel a bit sorry in a circumstance like that, though.
- 47:08Speaker 4: Isn't the trick to get up and act as though
- 47:10Speaker 4: you meant it gotcha?
- 47:13Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 47:14Speaker 5: Okay, you know what, Credit to him for giving it
- 47:16Speaker 5: a crack. At least he's out there trying.
- 47:18Speaker 1: To improve him. That's right.
- 47:19Speaker 4: He's obviously got low self esteem and he's decided I'm
- 47:22Speaker 4: going to go and improve myself and go to the gym,
- 47:24Speaker 4: and then the humiliated in front of all the people.
- 47:27Speaker 3: Understand the treadmill thing. Just go for a walk or around.
- 47:31Speaker 5: I agree with you, I do agree. You get some
- 47:33Speaker 5: fresh air. Fresh air is the best thing for you,
- 47:35Speaker 5: mental health, for everything. So I don't understand why people
- 47:38Speaker 5: walk on a treadmillon gym. It's so suffocating. Now, look,
- 47:42Speaker 5: let's go over seas where a couple was on a
- 47:45Speaker 5: safari trip. They were out taking a lovely little sun bake,
- 47:49Speaker 5: but they were caught unawares but didn't notice.
- 47:52Speaker 9: It has been filmed sun baking while on safari when
- 47:55Speaker 9: a wild baboo creeps up behind them to steal this snap. Nope,
- 48:01Speaker 9: they didn't notice. The pair was so glued to their
- 48:03Speaker 9: phones they had mind that gave the animal plenty of
- 48:07Speaker 9: time to have a feed. A worker, though, soon saw
- 48:09Speaker 9: what was happening and came running down to shoe the
- 48:12Speaker 9: b moon away.
- 48:14Speaker 2: How the heck did they not notice?
- 48:15Speaker 3: So?
- 48:16Speaker 5: What on earth were they looking at on their phones
- 48:17Speaker 5: that they did not notice at a giant baboon was
- 48:20Speaker 5: standing right now?
- 48:20Speaker 7: Next?
- 48:21Speaker 4: Why would you go on a safari in Africa where
- 48:24Speaker 4: the whole point is to look at, yes, my nature,
- 48:28Speaker 4: and then just be staring at your phone save your money?
- 48:32Speaker 3: Yeah, or maybe they've got children in they're so used
- 48:34Speaker 3: to the kids coming and stealing the snacks that it
- 48:36Speaker 3: was baboon.
- 48:38Speaker 1: She just thought it was her husband.
- 48:43Speaker 2: Your love.
- 48:44Speaker 4: Anyway, how about this? This is something that you probably
- 48:48Speaker 4: wouldn't necessarily expect. But an Icelandic TV channel has accidentally
- 48:53Speaker 4: aired an episode of the Tellytubbies, which you know, no crime, there,
- 48:59Speaker 4: no problem, great entertaining and informing kids. I dipsy and
- 49:06Speaker 4: is the weird one.
- 49:07Speaker 2: Winky inky winky tinky.
- 49:09Speaker 3: Or tinky winky and anyway extort to you.
- 49:13Speaker 1: So it's all going well so far.
- 49:16Speaker 4: It's all going well so far, except they aired it
- 49:20Speaker 4: with subtitles from the Sopranos. So you have got this
- 49:27Speaker 4: image here which says.
- 49:29Speaker 1: I know you were high at my mother in law's funeral.
- 49:34Speaker 4: Now again, I know at face value that seems jarring,
- 49:38Speaker 4: but if you've seen the Telly Tubbies, I know they
- 49:42Speaker 4: were high as well.
- 49:44Speaker 1: They are, yes, Poe is just like so.
- 49:49Speaker 4: I actually think that the you know, the subtitles actually
- 49:54Speaker 4: may may portray a greater truth.
- 49:56Speaker 2: I always thought that tipsy was it.
- 49:58Speaker 4: Dipsy tipsy, dipsy will dip dipsy. They wouldn't even know themselves.
- 50:06Speaker 5: And then they had the sun. Remember there was the sun.
- 50:09Speaker 5: God that's taking me back, good time.
- 50:12Speaker 3: It is like going through a trip, isn't it.
- 50:16Speaker 1: Tabs are on drugs, that's all.
- 50:18Speaker 5: That's all we need to know exactly. Thank you for
- 50:20Speaker 5: accompanied tonight and stay with us. Coming up next, it's
- 50:23Speaker 5: The Reda Panahee Show.
- 50:24Speaker 2: Good Night,
