- 0:00Speaker 1: Wait Wait, welcome the wait to base.
- 0:06Speaker 2: A good evening.
- 0:07Speaker 3: I'm James Macpherson with Caleb Bond and Danika did Georgio.
- 0:10Speaker 2: How was your day, Caleb, good day?
- 0:12Speaker 4: It would look it was a lovely day in Sydney today,
- 0:15Speaker 4: I have to say so, you know, soaked up, a
- 0:17Speaker 4: little bit of sun, came in here, did a little
- 0:20Speaker 4: bit of work, you know, an honest day, all sedent day.
- 0:23Speaker 5: Honest day's work, they go, a hard working man.
- 0:26Speaker 1: I know here. I am still here at ten pm
- 0:28Speaker 1: at night.
- 0:28Speaker 5: I know we're still here. I had a good day too,
- 0:30Speaker 5: thank you. I recorded my podcast this morning and then
- 0:34Speaker 5: I too spent a bit of time outside. The weather
- 0:35Speaker 5: was perfect. I didn't need to wear a jacket today.
- 0:37Speaker 5: I just a T shirt on.
- 0:38Speaker 3: I think for those outside of Sydney, all Sydney siders
- 0:41Speaker 3: got out internet.
- 0:42Speaker 2: Clearly it was. It was a glorious day. All right.
- 0:44Speaker 2: Here's what's coming up in our show tonight.
- 0:47Speaker 3: Our kids are banned from social media, but the number
- 0:49Speaker 3: of school teachers posting to Instagram and TikTok has exploded.
- 0:53Speaker 2: Is that a good thing?
- 0:54Speaker 3: Or are we sending mixed messages? The campaign to erase
- 0:57Speaker 3: our history continues, the major UNI is demanding the Albanezy
- 1:01Speaker 3: government scrub.
- 1:02Speaker 2: The Union jack from our flag.
- 1:05Speaker 3: And we'll talk about what Sekir Starma did immediately after
- 1:07Speaker 3: resigning as Prime Minister, perhaps the most relatable thing the
- 1:11Speaker 3: highly unrelatable leader has ever done.
- 1:13Speaker 2: We'll get to all of.
- 1:14Speaker 3: That shortly, but first, is learning to shoot guns a
- 1:17Speaker 3: good alternative to screen time for our kids? Queensland MP
- 1:22Speaker 3: Bob Kata thinks. So he's thrown his support behind the
- 1:24Speaker 3: creation of a new government department Outdoor Recreation Victoria, that
- 1:29Speaker 3: would teach children as young as twelve to shoot guns.
- 1:33Speaker 3: Here's what Bob Kata said. He said, Indeed, it's a
- 1:36Speaker 3: great idea. I can think of nothing more fundamentally Australian
- 1:39Speaker 3: than teaching your kids or grandkids to go camping, fishing
- 1:43Speaker 3: and hunting. Indeed, some of my most memorable moments have
- 1:47Speaker 3: been pursuing such activities in the great outdoors. He went
- 1:51Speaker 3: on to say, for too long we've been governed by inbred,
- 1:54Speaker 3: big city bureaucrats telling us what we can and can't do.
- 1:58Speaker 3: I got to admit I think I'm with Bob Catter
- 2:00Speaker 3: on this. I'm not sure teaching kids to use guns.
- 2:04Speaker 3: Is that controversial. Kids as young as twelve can already
- 2:07Speaker 3: get a permit that allows them to shoot guns under supervision.
- 2:10Speaker 3: Of course, in New South Wales, South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania,
- 2:14Speaker 3: and in Queensland the minimum age is eleven. It gets
- 2:18Speaker 3: kids outdoors, it teaches them a new skill and caleb
- 2:21Speaker 3: in the event we ever have to defend the country,
- 2:23Speaker 3: wouldn't be a bad thing to have young people familiar
- 2:25Speaker 3: with guns.
- 2:26Speaker 4: Well, indeed, or if you need to defend yourself against
- 2:28Speaker 4: a masheti tach attack in Victoria, you know you.
- 2:32Speaker 1: Might need a bit of self defense.
- 2:34Speaker 4: I like the idea of encouraging kids to get out
- 2:37Speaker 4: and commune with nature and to understand.
- 2:40Speaker 1: The reality of the world. What are you laughing at me, James.
- 2:43Speaker 3: But we're talking about teaching kids to shoot guns and
- 2:45Speaker 3: you're out communing with nature.
- 2:46Speaker 2: Well yes, don't you probably shooting things?
- 2:49Speaker 4: Well yes, go out and shoot foxes and rabbits, communing
- 2:52Speaker 4: with nature, and you know, perhaps shoot something that you
- 2:55Speaker 4: can then eat and learn some reality.
- 2:58Speaker 1: This is so funny, very John Lannon, learn the reality
- 3:03Speaker 1: of where food comes from.
- 3:05Speaker 4: And you know, yes, kids need to get out and
- 3:07Speaker 4: off the screens and whatever. But I think we have
- 3:10Speaker 4: a real problem in this country where kids buy and
- 3:12Speaker 4: large don't understand the reality of how the world works
- 3:16Speaker 4: and how things come to be for them to eat
- 3:19Speaker 4: and consume and survive and whatever. And most kids in
- 3:23Speaker 4: the city would have no clue where milk and meat
- 3:27Speaker 4: and all these things. I mean, you say, where does
- 3:28Speaker 4: milk come from? The supermarket? You know, where does state
- 3:32Speaker 4: come from? Oh, the butcher.
- 3:34Speaker 1: Probably not the butcher these days, the supermarket. You know,
- 3:38Speaker 1: get out and learn about.
- 3:40Speaker 4: The reality of what farmers have to put up with,
- 3:43Speaker 4: which is all of these pests that they have to
- 3:45Speaker 4: eradicate in order to feed. You, the reality of having
- 3:49Speaker 4: to kill an animal in order to put food on
- 3:52Speaker 4: the table.
- 3:53Speaker 1: This is real life, and I think there are great.
- 3:56Speaker 4: Life lessons for children to learn in getting out in
- 4:00Speaker 4: the bush with a gun. Respecting it. You know, this
- 4:04Speaker 4: is not a toy. This is not something to be
- 4:06Speaker 4: played with. This is a serious tool that canon should
- 4:11Speaker 4: be used for legitimate purposes as a tool, and it
- 4:14Speaker 4: should be respected.
- 4:15Speaker 2: You know.
- 4:15Speaker 1: I don't want to go.
- 4:16Speaker 4: Full us on this stuff, but it is a tool
- 4:19Speaker 4: that has a place in this country and ought to
- 4:21Speaker 4: be respected and teaching kids that respect and a few
- 4:24Speaker 4: life lessons along the way, I think is a good thing.
- 4:26Speaker 5: Any child with a gun in the hand makes me
- 4:29Speaker 5: incredibly concerned. I do not like this idea at all,
- 4:33Speaker 5: and I think there are far bigger issues with kids
- 4:35Speaker 5: right now than Bobcatter saying, oh, we'll give them a gun,
- 4:38Speaker 5: go and get them in the great outdoors. I do agree,
- 4:40Speaker 5: we've got to get kids off social media and we've
- 4:42Speaker 5: got to get them outdoors, and absolutely I would agree.
- 4:45Speaker 5: I like the idea of camping, I like the idea
- 4:48Speaker 5: of fishing, fantastic, get them out hiking. But there are
- 4:52Speaker 5: a plethora of hobbies available to kids right now that
- 4:55Speaker 5: do not involve guns, that do not involve what should
- 4:59Speaker 5: be illegal in the hands of a child, and illegal
- 5:03Speaker 5: in most cases. For example, I had no idea up
- 5:07Speaker 5: until today that children as young as eleven or twelve
- 5:11Speaker 5: in some jurisdictions can handle a gun.
- 5:14Speaker 6: Now.
- 5:14Speaker 5: I'm not saying without supervision, okay, I understand that when
- 5:17Speaker 5: it's supervised, and there would be a lot of kids
- 5:19Speaker 5: who do grow up on rural properties that would be
- 5:22Speaker 5: used to this. They would understand that mom and dad
- 5:25Speaker 5: work on the farm. They've got guns and they have
- 5:27Speaker 5: to go and kill the animals. I understand that, but
- 5:30Speaker 5: I don't think that there should be a law saying yep,
- 5:33Speaker 5: let's go get them out there and get them out hunting. No,
- 5:36Speaker 5: go and find another hobby. I just don't think once
- 5:39Speaker 5: you open that door, it's too late. And we already
- 5:41Speaker 5: have a youth crime issue in parts of this country.
- 5:44Speaker 5: Let's not exacerbate an already increasing problem.
- 5:47Speaker 3: I really don't think we've got a problem in this
- 5:49Speaker 3: country of young people who have grown up shooting as
- 5:52Speaker 3: a sport then going out and committing gun crime.
- 5:55Speaker 5: I'm sure that there's not the star. I'm sure that
- 5:57Speaker 5: there is not, but I just don't think that once
- 5:58Speaker 5: you start opening the door to that, I don't think
- 6:00Speaker 5: we I just don't think we should go there. If
- 6:02Speaker 5: it wants so long to do a hobby, there are
- 6:04Speaker 5: other things and go on playing game of cricket. You
- 6:06Speaker 5: know you've got Bobcatter saying oh, it's fundamentally Australian to
- 6:10Speaker 5: to go out and shoot. Well, I think it's fundamentally
- 6:12Speaker 5: Australian to go out and play a game of cricket.
- 6:16Speaker 4: This could be something that could get kids on the
- 6:18Speaker 4: straight and narrow, like kids who are a bit going
- 6:20Speaker 4: off the path right, and we say, okay, we'll get
- 6:23Speaker 4: you in a group that goes out, whether it's in school,
- 6:26Speaker 4: holidays or whatever it is. You go away for a
- 6:29Speaker 4: week and you learn about hunting and fishing and camping
- 6:33Speaker 4: and these plants and that's edible and that's not edible.
- 6:37Speaker 4: I think that'd be a great week for a kid
- 6:40Speaker 4: who needs a bit of attention and to feel like
- 6:43Speaker 4: they're part of something, because not only does it make
- 6:45Speaker 4: them feel like they're part of a club, which of
- 6:47Speaker 4: course you absolutely get out of sport, but it gives
- 6:49Speaker 4: you an idea that you're part of something much greater
- 6:52Speaker 4: than you, which is the rest of the world. Again,
- 6:55Speaker 4: that you are one creature amongst all the others in
- 6:58Speaker 4: the world. And learning to hunt to supply for yourself
- 7:02Speaker 4: for food, if that's part of a program, I think
- 7:06Speaker 4: is absolutely part of that.
- 7:07Speaker 5: By holding a gun, well, yes, how are they going
- 7:09Speaker 5: to be I don't understand how they can be part
- 7:11Speaker 5: of something bigger if they're going out holding a gun.
- 7:13Speaker 4: Because if you go out and hold a gun and
- 7:15Speaker 4: you kill an animal, let's say to deer that you
- 7:18Speaker 4: can then butcher up and eat that. He's a life
- 7:22Speaker 4: lesson in the reality where food comes from and you
- 7:25Speaker 4: doing your bit for the environment, and you know, only
- 7:29Speaker 4: taking what you need, et cetera. I mean, you're not
- 7:30Speaker 4: going to kill the deba steering at it from a
- 7:32Speaker 4: hundred yards away.
- 7:34Speaker 3: The other thing with this, you're not giving out guns
- 7:35Speaker 3: willy nilly, and kids are just wandering around the suburbs
- 7:38Speaker 3: with them.
- 7:38Speaker 2: I mean, I hope not for goodness sake. Well it
- 7:42Speaker 2: is Victoria.
- 7:43Speaker 3: We were at friend's property out in central Queensland and
- 7:47Speaker 3: we had the guns out and one of my boys
- 7:50Speaker 3: I think it was about nine or ten years old.
- 7:52Speaker 3: But I mean calb talked about teaching and respect for firearms.
- 7:57Speaker 3: He got some very strict instructions and was under very
- 8:00Speaker 3: in strict instructions. He learned to respect it, enjoyed firing it,
- 8:04Speaker 3: learned some life lessons.
- 8:05Speaker 2: It was good for him.
- 8:06Speaker 5: I just think that there are a lot of hobbies
- 8:08Speaker 5: that need to be explored in this country and holding
- 8:10Speaker 5: a gun is not one of them, and that we
- 8:12Speaker 5: do have a social media problem. I agree, but come on,
- 8:15Speaker 5: we have the best outdoors in the whole world. We've
- 8:19Speaker 5: got a whole backyard.
- 8:20Speaker 2: Of it before we move on.
- 8:21Speaker 3: I was curious the way the Herald's son reported the
- 8:24Speaker 3: initial story on this, and so they had the headline,
- 8:27Speaker 3: you know, young people taught to use guns, and then
- 8:30Speaker 3: they had a video of the discussion regarding the Bondi shooting,
- 8:35Speaker 3: which I thought is drawing a line that just does
- 8:38Speaker 3: not exist. The Bondai shooting was not young people who'd
- 8:41Speaker 3: taken up guns for sport and five years later started
- 8:44Speaker 3: shooting people on the beachet. It is a very different thing,
- 8:47Speaker 3: but there was that immediate connection drawn by the Herald's son.
- 8:51Speaker 3: I think a lot of people would go straight there,
- 8:53Speaker 3: but there's just no valid reason.
- 8:54Speaker 4: I think there's often a conflation between the existence of
- 8:57Speaker 4: guns and therefore a gun in the hand of a
- 8:59Speaker 4: p is going to lead to bad things. Ye, most
- 9:03Speaker 4: gun crime is done with illegally held guns that are
- 9:06Speaker 4: either stolen or obtained by other nefarious means.
- 9:10Speaker 1: Laura Biding.
- 9:11Speaker 4: Gun owners in this country by and large are not
- 9:14Speaker 4: the issue, and I don't think there is an issue
- 9:15Speaker 4: with that and expanding that to children and learning that
- 9:18Speaker 4: respect whatsoever. While we're talking about the kiddies, the kiddies
- 9:22Speaker 4: we know are banned from the social media in this country,
- 9:25Speaker 4: and I think they're still using it anyway, but the
- 9:27Speaker 4: law says that they shouldn't be using it. But par
- 9:29Speaker 4: Tellia who is using social media, and the Sydney Morning
- 9:33Speaker 4: Herald has written a lengthy piece on this today. The teachers, yes,
- 9:38Speaker 4: they're all over it now. Teachers, schools, education departments across
- 9:42Speaker 4: the country are fast waking up to the fact that
- 9:45Speaker 4: social media is basically the easiest way to keep in
- 9:48Speaker 4: touch with these students who aren't meant to be on
- 9:49Speaker 4: social media but actually are so they're viewing all this.
- 9:52Speaker 1: Content and the parents as well.
- 9:55Speaker 4: This is a little bit of the stuff that to
- 9:57Speaker 4: the Sydney Morning Herald was writing about to day straight the.
- 10:02Speaker 6: Post never ever I use the word bro or cuss.
- 10:20Speaker 6: I don't want to hear it. No bro, no cuss.
- 10:24Speaker 6: The word use is a verd use us now.
- 10:30Speaker 4: That Chap the complete teacher who I spoke to on
- 10:33Speaker 4: the Bond Reporter and a month or two ago after
- 10:35Speaker 4: he put up that video, absolute legend trying to tell
- 10:39Speaker 4: these kids you don't say things that use and whatever.
- 10:42Speaker 1: That clip went.
- 10:42Speaker 4: Viral because of course it was relatable. I mean, parents
- 10:46Speaker 4: and teachers alike across the country watch that said. Thank
- 10:50Speaker 4: god someone has said it, And I think it's actually
- 10:53Speaker 4: a good thing that content like that is being put
- 10:57Speaker 4: out there because it can serve as a lessened to kids,
- 11:01Speaker 4: and it serves as a bit of a note to
- 11:03Speaker 4: parents as well about what may or may not be
- 11:05Speaker 4: going on in the classroom, which I don't think is
- 11:06Speaker 4: a bad thing. Some of it, as you saw at
- 11:09Speaker 4: the beginning of that clip, is sort of you know, funnyer.
- 11:11Speaker 1: Meme type stuff.
- 11:12Speaker 4: But the reality of the modern world is that if
- 11:16Speaker 4: you want to be in touch with people where they are,
- 11:20Speaker 4: you have to be on social media. And so it's
- 11:23Speaker 4: no surprise to me really that teachers and schools would
- 11:26Speaker 4: be in that territory because you can't of doing yourself
- 11:29Speaker 4: a disservice if you're not.
- 11:31Speaker 3: What service were those videos providing? I mean, leave aside
- 11:35Speaker 3: telling nature at the end, who was talking about the
- 11:37Speaker 3: way in which our kids communicate. But the first videos
- 11:41Speaker 3: we saw there, what purpose do they serve?
- 11:43Speaker 4: Well, it just keeps terms in touch with the school.
- 11:46Speaker 4: So you know, once upon a time you had the
- 11:48Speaker 4: school newsletter, which serves its purpose, and there might be
- 11:51Speaker 4: some jokes.
- 11:52Speaker 2: Teachers doing dance moves with kids. What what's the purpose?
- 11:55Speaker 4: The school newsletter was a rather fixed mediums. You could
- 11:59Speaker 4: put a video in the school newsletter, but you might
- 12:01Speaker 4: have some jokey stuff in a school newsletters, some joke
- 12:05Speaker 4: photos that were taken on a school excursion or whatever
- 12:07Speaker 4: that's then distributed out to parents.
- 12:09Speaker 1: Now they're just doing it in a video form on
- 12:11Speaker 1: social media. What's the difference.
- 12:12Speaker 3: My problem with this is the mixed messages. So we're
- 12:14Speaker 3: telling kids you cannot use social media, it's bad for you.
- 12:17Speaker 3: Then teachers are recording kids posting it to social media,
- 12:21Speaker 3: but telling those kids, no, you can't look at it.
- 12:23Speaker 3: So you can't have it both ways. Don't our teachers
- 12:25Speaker 3: have a responsibility to if we're going to agree we
- 12:28Speaker 3: don't want our kids on social media, don't create social
- 12:31Speaker 3: media videos with kids in them and then tell them
- 12:33Speaker 3: they can't watch them. Well, surely that's confusing.
- 12:36Speaker 5: Well well, firstly, I would think though that they would
- 12:38Speaker 5: have to get permission to post children on social media,
- 12:42Speaker 5: so assuming that the parents are all on board with this. Secondly,
- 12:45Speaker 5: to Caleb's point, the kids are seeing these videos on
- 12:48Speaker 5: social media, it's not that hard to do that we've
- 12:51Speaker 5: spoken about. The statistics suggests that the social media ban
- 12:53Speaker 5: has been an abject failure at this point. And thirdly,
- 12:57Speaker 5: I think it's a wonderful way to connect with your
- 12:59Speaker 5: student because it kind of puts you, puts the teacher
- 13:02Speaker 5: on their levels and you've got no see. I don't
- 13:06Speaker 5: because it makes you a relatable teacher. As a child
- 13:09Speaker 5: in the classroom, you would rather go to a class
- 13:12Speaker 5: with a teacher that you know is engaging, is fun,
- 13:15Speaker 5: and is personable, not a teacher who is a boring
- 13:18Speaker 5: bank clerk and is going to sit there and lecture
- 13:21Speaker 5: at you and not give you a fun class. You
- 13:23Speaker 5: might not be the best at maths, but if you've
- 13:25Speaker 5: got a fun maths teacher who teaches you little dancers
- 13:28Speaker 5: to try and learn basic mathematics, absolutely fantastic. And I
- 13:32Speaker 5: also think it helps children who are shy in the classroom,
- 13:35Speaker 5: who are scared to ask questions, scared to put your
- 13:37Speaker 5: hands their hands up. When you've got that kind of
- 13:39Speaker 5: a teacher that is personable, you're more likely to engage
- 13:43Speaker 5: with them and more likely to ask a.
- 13:45Speaker 3: Lot of kids I don't just ask is there any
- 13:46Speaker 3: middle ground between a bank clerk and someone who's got
- 13:50Speaker 3: TikTok dance moves everywhere.
- 13:52Speaker 2: Yes, there is a middle ground.
- 13:53Speaker 1: There is there is.
- 13:54Speaker 4: His name's Anthony Albanizia, and now he's the prime to
- 14:00Speaker 4: doing social media content.
- 14:01Speaker 5: But I also think that we do live in a generation,
- 14:03Speaker 5: whether we like it or not, where kids are engaged
- 14:07Speaker 5: more than ever with social media. Okay, they know how
- 14:10Speaker 5: to use it from a young age. We know that
- 14:12Speaker 5: that they can use phones, whether that's right or wrong,
- 14:15Speaker 5: but they know how to use it. So they do
- 14:17Speaker 5: think there needs to be a level of genuine engagement
- 14:20Speaker 5: that's going to be up to date with technology and fun.
- 14:25Speaker 5: And I think it's great.
- 14:26Speaker 4: I think it's for the parents. I think parents don't
- 14:29Speaker 4: have minded either, and that's really the test. I mean,
- 14:33Speaker 4: you know, if there's an uprising of parents who go
- 14:36Speaker 4: to the P and C and say, well, I'd rather
- 14:38Speaker 4: this school wasn't doing that, each school can deal with
- 14:41Speaker 4: that on.
- 14:41Speaker 1: A case by case basis.
- 14:42Speaker 4: But I suspect by and large that the parents are
- 14:45Speaker 4: quite happy to see this stuff on social media because
- 14:47Speaker 4: it's keeping them in touch with the school and the
- 14:49Speaker 4: school community.
- 14:50Speaker 5: And they can see what's going on in the classroom.
- 14:52Speaker 5: They can see how their kid interacts. They can see
- 14:54Speaker 5: how their kid has fun.
- 14:56Speaker 3: They're conecting doing TikTok dance moves, but it's fun.
- 15:00Speaker 5: That was very John Calta, that was very That was
- 15:03Speaker 5: like John Travolter Saturday Night Fever. It was like the TMO.
- 15:08Speaker 5: John Travoltaw.
- 15:09Speaker 2: I'm a parent.
- 15:09Speaker 3: I'm impressed my kids are getting good marks, not that
- 15:12Speaker 3: the teacher's got dance moves. But what about what a
- 15:15Speaker 3: conflict of interest? Because this article talked about the fact
- 15:18Speaker 3: that some teachers are few to be clear, but some
- 15:22Speaker 3: their videos have become so popular they're making more money
- 15:25Speaker 3: from advertising on social media hours a teacher, so they're
- 15:29Speaker 3: quick teaching. But to get to that point, they've used
- 15:32Speaker 3: their classroom, they've used their public school. Some of them
- 15:35Speaker 3: have used school kids as content to then go and
- 15:39Speaker 3: pursue another career.
- 15:41Speaker 5: Games fix of that, if you could make more money
- 15:44Speaker 5: in a different avenue than your current job, wouldn't you
- 15:47Speaker 5: say that's absolutely fantastic.
- 15:49Speaker 3: But I'm asking what are the ethics of using the
- 15:51Speaker 3: public education system kids?
- 15:53Speaker 5: But I don't think it's got anything to do.
- 15:54Speaker 2: With them yourself a online career.
- 15:56Speaker 5: Well, a lot of these people when they start out
- 15:58Speaker 5: doing these videos, I don't think a lot and go, ah,
- 16:00Speaker 5: now how am I going to monetize this one today?
- 16:03Speaker 5: They're probably just thinking this is really fun, this is cool,
- 16:05Speaker 5: and then suddenly you go viral. All it takes is
- 16:07Speaker 5: one video to go viral, James, and suddenly you're an
- 16:10Speaker 5: Internet sensation.
- 16:11Speaker 2: I'm that convinced you're not.
- 16:12Speaker 5: Then well you are the TMO John Travolta, so of
- 16:16Speaker 5: course you're not. Now, look, let's stay on the kids theme.
- 16:20Speaker 5: How would you like your kids to be taught in
- 16:23Speaker 5: the classrooms by robots? No, I'm not even joking, because
- 16:27Speaker 5: there is a school or a district in New York
- 16:30Speaker 5: City that's actually trialing this.
- 16:32Speaker 1: Would you believe robots won't be doing tiktoks? Will they?
- 16:35Speaker 5: Well? No, this is Sally. Everybody, Well please meet Sally.
- 16:39Speaker 5: It is a fifty thousand dollars robot that the Salamanca
- 16:44Speaker 5: City School District will be paying for as part of
- 16:47Speaker 5: an AI overhaul. Now, these robots will remain seated in position,
- 16:53Speaker 5: but will be able to move their arms and their hands.
- 16:57Speaker 5: The humanoid teacher also uses natural conversation and facial expressions
- 17:01Speaker 5: and real time interaction as part of its teaching process.
- 17:05Speaker 5: That's according to the tech company Now The Salamacer City
- 17:10Speaker 5: School District Superintendent Mark Billia acknowledged the move was exciting
- 17:14Speaker 5: but also a little bit nerve racking. Not everyone is
- 17:17Speaker 5: open to much change in education. Well, I would say
- 17:21Speaker 5: that this isn't just a small change. This is a
- 17:23Speaker 5: pretty big change and one that I do not agree with.
- 17:26Speaker 5: How on earth can you possibly have a robot in
- 17:29Speaker 5: charge of a classroom. We don't need a new generation
- 17:32Speaker 5: of robots as it is. If you've got a robot,
- 17:34Speaker 5: they can't assess the mood of the students. They can't
- 17:37Speaker 5: see visually students needs. Therefore, they can't help individual kids
- 17:44Speaker 5: in the classroom. How are they supposed to assess a
- 17:47Speaker 5: child's performance? How are they supposed to know if a
- 17:49Speaker 5: child needs help when they're just sitting there, moving their
- 17:52Speaker 5: arms around and their hands. I worry about this. I
- 17:58Speaker 5: think that this is a disaster. Need human interaction. You
- 18:01Speaker 5: need the empathy that comes with being a teacher. You
- 18:04Speaker 5: need the firmness that comes with being a teacher, and
- 18:07Speaker 5: a robot is not going to give you either of those.
- 18:09Speaker 4: I reckon a robot would be pretty firmer I don't
- 18:11Speaker 4: suspect they'd be too soft to the touch to you,
- 18:14Speaker 4: and you said about moving their arms and hands. Hello,
- 18:19Speaker 4: you're welcome the classroom, Dodds. Yeah, but you know what,
- 18:25Speaker 4: I actually think this is a good idea, and I'll
- 18:27Speaker 4: tell you why, because if it is programmed correctly, I shouldn't.
- 18:31Speaker 3: Say that's a big eff I shouldn't say.
- 18:33Speaker 4: It's Sally, so Sally the clanker. I if she is programmed.
- 18:39Speaker 1: Good, there there she is. I mean, what a gorgeous
- 18:42Speaker 1: looking creature.
- 18:44Speaker 2: All right?
- 18:44Speaker 1: If she was whatever more attractive than some of the
- 18:50Speaker 1: teachers I had back in the day.
- 18:53Speaker 4: If she was programmed correctly, you know, she might be
- 18:56Speaker 4: talking to kids about gender pronouns and how climate change
- 19:00Speaker 4: and is.
- 19:00Speaker 1: Going to burn the world to a cree cup and
- 19:02Speaker 1: all this sort of stuff.
- 19:03Speaker 4: You know, it might actually be a way to get
- 19:05Speaker 4: some of this ideology out of the classroom. If this
- 19:09Speaker 4: thing is just you know, did sit focused on teaching
- 19:12Speaker 4: the curriculum as it should be taught.
- 19:14Speaker 1: It may be a good way to get all this
- 19:16Speaker 1: bars out of the class.
- 19:17Speaker 3: Okay, so you raise some actually really important points, because
- 19:21Speaker 3: we're all aware with chat gpt ET cetera. That they've
- 19:24Speaker 3: all got guidelines so they can't talk to people about
- 19:27Speaker 3: certain subjects that might encourage them down dark paths.
- 19:30Speaker 2: And we've all read stories about how.
- 19:32Speaker 3: Those guidelines have somehow been breached by the AI in
- 19:37Speaker 3: the event that a robot teacher talks about things that
- 19:40Speaker 3: ought not be discussed in the classroom.
- 19:43Speaker 2: If I'm the parent, who.
- 19:44Speaker 3: Do I sue? Do I sue the school? Do I
- 19:46Speaker 3: sue the robot manufacturer? Who's responsible?
- 19:50Speaker 5: That is a very good question. So it comes from
- 19:52Speaker 5: the robotics company, real robotics. I wonder what you do
- 19:55Speaker 5: because now correct me if I'm wrong, because I remember
- 19:57Speaker 5: we had a story like this about a woman who
- 20:01Speaker 5: sued Was it a woman who sued a I recently
- 20:05Speaker 5: in America?
- 20:06Speaker 1: Was it for what?
- 20:08Speaker 5: Can't we talk about something? On the Late Debat?
- 20:10Speaker 4: There was a case I think recently where some parents
- 20:13Speaker 4: were suing a company because their child was basically convinced
- 20:16Speaker 4: to commit suicide.
- 20:20Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, that's right.
- 20:21Speaker 1: So they're going directly after the company.
- 20:23Speaker 5: So then I would suggest that inn as to your question,
- 20:26Speaker 5: that you could you'd have to see the company.
- 20:27Speaker 3: Right Like, as a parent, I'm not particularly convinced that
- 20:30Speaker 3: a robot is going to remain within the guidelines that
- 20:32Speaker 3: I'm told have been preprogrammed. Here's another thing. How does
- 20:36Speaker 3: a robot police behavior in the class?
- 20:40Speaker 5: And that's what I'm saying to you.
- 20:41Speaker 2: The robot laser eyes this behavior.
- 20:45Speaker 4: Forget the robot about Barnaby Joyce down, It'll be the
- 20:49Speaker 4: teacher with the laser eyes burning holes.
- 20:52Speaker 5: The robot cannot read the room. So how are you
- 20:55Speaker 5: supposed to help How are you supposed to help a
- 20:58Speaker 5: child who has special nets? It's how are you supposed
- 21:01Speaker 5: to help a child who is struggling with your matt with?
- 21:04Speaker 4: What program these things program for specific purposes?
- 21:13Speaker 5: Because because there's no empathy, it doesn't have a heart.
- 21:16Speaker 5: It's not a beating heart. I can't tell what's going
- 21:19Speaker 5: on some people.
- 21:21Speaker 4: And this is, by the way, I don't actually think
- 21:23Speaker 4: this is a good idea. I'm being somewhat flippant in
- 21:25Speaker 4: what I have seen in the last few minutes. But
- 21:28Speaker 4: but but to be serious, though, there are a lot
- 21:32Speaker 4: of people I think it's really sad. But a lot
- 21:34Speaker 4: of people who treat chat, GPT or whatever service they use.
- 21:39Speaker 1: As a genuine friend and have a closer connection. Don't laugh.
- 21:43Speaker 1: I know.
- 21:45Speaker 4: They have a closer connection with their chatblot than they
- 21:49Speaker 4: do any real human beings.
- 21:51Speaker 1: What you want to hear and that that is also true.
- 21:54Speaker 5: And you can program it not be biased, but to the.
- 21:58Speaker 4: Point of whether or not it has any empathy and
- 22:01Speaker 4: all this sort of stuff. I mean, we're already at
- 22:03Speaker 4: a level where robots and chatbots are programmed to have
- 22:07Speaker 4: empathy and these sorts of things. So it is not
- 22:10Speaker 4: beyond the realms of possibility that a robot teacher could
- 22:13Speaker 4: fulfill those roles. I'm not saying it's good, but it's
- 22:16Speaker 4: not beyond the realms of possible.
- 22:17Speaker 5: No, that is true, actually, because sometimes when I use
- 22:19Speaker 5: chat GPT not as a mate. Here we preface. Let
- 22:23Speaker 5: me just preferce, I do.
- 22:24Speaker 1: Knows in a relationship chat.
- 22:26Speaker 5: With chat chat daddy. No, definitely not. I'm definitely not
- 22:30Speaker 5: in a relationship with chat. But sometimes chat will I'll
- 22:34Speaker 5: put a question in and Chat will answer PI, Dannka.
- 22:37Speaker 5: That is a wonderful question to be asking, Oh, how
- 22:41Speaker 5: does it know my name?
- 22:41Speaker 3: The weird thing about this right is we've had this
- 22:43Speaker 3: massive discussion right around the West about how too much
- 22:47Speaker 3: screen time is robbing our kids interpersonal skills. Yes, and
- 22:50Speaker 3: now that put a robot at the front side.
- 22:52Speaker 5: That's why I said, we do not need another generation
- 22:55Speaker 5: of robots.
- 22:56Speaker 3: What's funny is the principle or the education official in
- 22:59Speaker 3: Chat of this experiment. He actually told the media and
- 23:02Speaker 3: I quote, the robot will encourage students to think for themselves.
- 23:07Speaker 1: That's pretty good.
- 23:08Speaker 5: I don't think it will.
- 23:09Speaker 4: Well anyway, Tomorrow Night will bring you more details on
- 23:13Speaker 4: Danika to Georgio and lesbian relationship with Sally.
- 23:16Speaker 1: Robots.
- 23:18Speaker 4: Well, you know you're already into Chat. I mean, Sally
- 23:20Speaker 4: the Robot's just the next step, isn't it.
- 23:22Speaker 5: No, Okay, the other one that said that Sal was
- 23:25Speaker 5: a good looking bet.
- 23:27Speaker 1: I'm not into the robots.
- 23:28Speaker 5: Wow, just getting we don't know and we don't want
- 23:31Speaker 5: to know what goes on your life. Let's just move
- 23:33Speaker 5: on from the topic. We know too much already, it's
- 23:36Speaker 5: in the daily match.
- 23:38Speaker 4: Let's keep going, all right. Let's move from that to flags,
- 23:41Speaker 4: shall we. Because the national flag is in the sights
- 23:46Speaker 4: of the Australian Manufacturing Workers Union.
- 23:48Speaker 1: They don't like the national flag. That says got to go.
- 23:52Speaker 4: And this is ahead of the Labour national Conference which
- 23:55Speaker 4: is being held in Adelaide from Thursday, Thursday, Friday Saturday.
- 23:59Speaker 4: I believe it is poor old Adelaide having all these
- 24:01Speaker 4: people inflicted upon them, but I'm sure the local pubs
- 24:04Speaker 4: and bars and restaurants will enjoy it. So enjoy Adelaide,
- 24:07Speaker 4: great part of the country, of course. But the AMWU
- 24:11Speaker 4: has put out this new document they call the Union
- 24:14Speaker 4: blue Print for Action, in which they write, we need
- 24:17Speaker 4: to strip away the constant reminders of the old ruling
- 24:20Speaker 4: class and colonial empire. Symbols of oppression like the Union
- 24:24Speaker 4: jack on our flag and defensive colonial statues must be
- 24:28Speaker 4: removed from public life. A fair country should not celebrate
- 24:32Speaker 4: the very symbols used to commit violence and disposition against
- 24:37Speaker 4: its first peoples. So the Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union, which
- 24:42Speaker 4: I think would be more concerned with the recession of
- 24:46Speaker 4: manufacturing in this country, is instead coming out with all
- 24:50Speaker 4: these edicts saying, well, you know, why don't we change
- 24:52Speaker 4: the national flag. I'm sure they'll do a great deal
- 24:55Speaker 4: to improve manufacturing in Australia, don't you reckon?
- 24:58Speaker 3: Imagine paying your union fees and then your union comes
- 25:01Speaker 3: out with this kind of rubbish. But as of Thursday,
- 25:03Speaker 3: when the Labour Party have their national conference. This is
- 25:06Speaker 3: the sort of stuff that Anthony Albanezia will be hoping
- 25:09Speaker 3: to keep at arm's length.
- 25:10Speaker 2: Yeah, because I think.
- 25:11Speaker 3: If most Australians find out about things like this, they'll
- 25:14Speaker 3: be absolutely outraged. And who are the Union to say
- 25:17Speaker 3: what's fair and so on and so forth to try
- 25:20Speaker 3: and remove the Union jack when the majority of Australians
- 25:22Speaker 3: are very happy with Australia Day, they're very happy with
- 25:25Speaker 3: the national flag, they're very happy with the anthem, and
- 25:28Speaker 3: yet there's this continual push to undermine all of our
- 25:31Speaker 3: national institutions and the same people complain about social cohesion
- 25:35Speaker 3: being fred Well, I think.
- 25:36Speaker 5: There's only one symbol of oppression in this country and
- 25:38Speaker 5: that is the Union movement themselves. I mean, part of
- 25:40Speaker 5: the problem is is we don't know which flag it
- 25:42Speaker 5: is at the moment, because we've got the Prime Minister
- 25:44Speaker 5: out there every day standing in front of three flags.
- 25:47Speaker 5: But remember when sixty percent of us voted no to
- 25:50Speaker 5: this sort of division, and it's like you've got unions
- 25:53Speaker 5: going off on their own pathway. You've got various states
- 25:57Speaker 5: around the country they're also going off forging.
- 25:59Speaker 4: There WU wants to bring back the Voice. Don't forget
- 26:02Speaker 4: we found that out a couple of weeks together.
- 26:04Speaker 5: That's a good point. And this is what I mean.
- 26:05Speaker 5: They're all going in their pathways ignoring the will of
- 26:08Speaker 5: the people. And where are they getting their their research
- 26:12Speaker 5: and data from that? This is what every day ossie's want.
- 26:15Speaker 5: When you're in the middle of a cost.
- 26:17Speaker 3: They're concerned with their ideological agenda, which they will drive
- 26:20Speaker 3: regardless of what the pub They.
- 26:22Speaker 5: Will literally shove it down your throat. When we're in
- 26:23Speaker 5: middle of a cost of living crisis. Still we're in
- 26:26Speaker 5: the housing crisis. We've got record migration and the unions go, oh,
- 26:29Speaker 5: what's the bright idea today, let's change the Australian flag.
- 26:32Speaker 5: But even a couple of weeks ago, remember the a
- 26:34Speaker 5: b C did that that episode of one of their
- 26:38Speaker 5: their their their.
- 26:39Speaker 2: Documentary the Kids, when they had kids.
- 26:41Speaker 5: They went into a classroom and they had kids designing
- 26:44Speaker 5: the Australian flag.
- 26:45Speaker 4: Sorry, I should just it was the a c TU,
- 26:47Speaker 4: not the a WU that said they supported the Voice,
- 26:51Speaker 4: which is the Council of Trade Unions that the representative
- 26:54Speaker 4: body of all the.
- 26:56Speaker 5: But I just think that these ideas. They just they
- 26:58Speaker 5: just work off vibes. That's all it is. There's no
- 27:00Speaker 5: fact to it. There's no fact or decision making as
- 27:03Speaker 5: to why they want to make these silly decisions. It
- 27:05Speaker 5: says all you know what, that's what some people on
- 27:08Speaker 5: the left have said, let's just sco off the vibe
- 27:10Speaker 5: of that and give it a whirl and see if
- 27:12Speaker 5: people back it.
- 27:13Speaker 4: And at the same time, you've got the Electoral Commission
- 27:15Speaker 4: now wants to render or said they've said they will
- 27:17Speaker 4: rename the electorate of Gray in South Australia, who was
- 27:21Speaker 4: named for Sir George Gray, who served as governor in
- 27:26Speaker 4: South Australia and in sitting in their name it O'donahue,
- 27:29Speaker 4: after Luisa O'donahue, who.
- 27:31Speaker 1: Was an Indigenous campaigner.
- 27:33Speaker 4: But the Electoral Commission did a public consultation an eighty
- 27:40Speaker 4: percent of people wrote in and said no, leave it
- 27:43Speaker 4: as Gray, but instead the Electoral Commissioners said, the other
- 27:47Speaker 4: twenty percent were really persuasive in their submissions, so we're
- 27:51Speaker 4: going to change it even though people told us they
- 27:53Speaker 4: didn't want it. And what really annoys me about all
- 27:57Speaker 4: of this is, you know what, there's no reason that
- 27:59Speaker 4: another point in time, if there is another electric created
- 28:03Speaker 4: that it couldn't be named after Louicha Odona Hue or
- 28:06Speaker 4: any other Indigenous figure in this country.
- 28:09Speaker 1: But it's sort of the removal of.
- 28:11Speaker 4: One part of history in replacing it with another. It's
- 28:14Speaker 4: the same thing as taking down statues. Surely we should
- 28:17Speaker 4: be able to be mature enough to acknowledge the achievements
- 28:22Speaker 4: of colonial Australia and its figures, and also acknowledge the
- 28:26Speaker 4: achievements of Indigenous Australia and Australia.
- 28:28Speaker 5: Absolutely, But I feel like the left only see it
- 28:31Speaker 5: one way because they've been tearing down colonial figures that
- 28:34Speaker 5: they get taught all sorts of random crap in the
- 28:38Speaker 5: classroom when it comes to our colonial history, and you know,
- 28:43Speaker 5: no wonder kids are growing up in these culture wars.
- 28:46Speaker 5: It's a huge problem.
- 28:47Speaker 3: That the irony of the Australian Electoral Commission wanting to
- 28:50Speaker 3: change the name of that electric despite doing a public
- 28:54Speaker 3: consultation and finding eighty percent of people opposed, is they
- 28:56Speaker 3: only have one job, and that's to uphold democracy right.
- 29:01Speaker 2: Opposite that, can you believe?
- 29:03Speaker 3: I tell you something else I couldn't believe today, and
- 29:06Speaker 3: that's reading about a change in leadership with the terror
- 29:11Speaker 3: group Hamas, as reported by the UK Telegraph. Now, I
- 29:15Speaker 3: suppose it's news that Khalil al Haya is the new
- 29:19Speaker 3: leader of the terrorist organization we know as Hamas. But
- 29:23Speaker 3: reading this article in the Telegraph, you can see the
- 29:25Speaker 3: headline there. If we can just go back to the
- 29:27Speaker 3: headline for a second, it says Hamas's new leader lost
- 29:31Speaker 3: four sons to Israeli bombs. Now that immediately got my
- 29:35Speaker 3: attention because I thought, what sort of article is this.
- 29:38Speaker 3: It sounds like a puff piece for a terrorist organization,
- 29:41Speaker 3: And I got to say I was not disappointed. And
- 29:44Speaker 3: almost one thousand word article only used the word terrorist
- 29:49Speaker 3: or terrorist group twice in a thousand words. Typically it
- 29:53Speaker 3: just referred to Hamas as a group, and basically it
- 29:57Speaker 3: humanized Harmas when that's the last thing and we should
- 30:00Speaker 3: be doing in the West. Let me read you a
- 30:02Speaker 3: couple of portions. The article said the new leader, who
- 30:06Speaker 3: has lost multiple relatives to Israeli strikes, took the post
- 30:11Speaker 3: after an unusually fraught contest talking about the Hamas election.
- 30:16Speaker 3: Just note there he lost multiple relatives to Israeli strikes.
- 30:21Speaker 2: But here's what's interesting.
- 30:22Speaker 3: The article not once mentions the Harmas slaughter of twelve
- 30:26Speaker 3: hundred Israelis on October the seven, which is why those
- 30:29Speaker 3: strikes from Israel took place. The article goes on to
- 30:33Speaker 3: talk about the Hamas election process.
- 30:35Speaker 2: Have a look at this.
- 30:36Speaker 3: The election process began in January and was repeatedly interrupted
- 30:40Speaker 3: by the wars in Iran and Lebanon, and by continuing
- 30:43Speaker 3: Israeli operations in Gaza. If you didn't know what Hamas
- 30:48Speaker 3: did on October seven, twenty twenty three, you'd think, gee,
- 30:51Speaker 3: those is Raeli's interrupting democracy in Gaza.
- 30:54Speaker 2: The article goes on.
- 30:56Speaker 3: To say that this new terror leader, his eldest son, Asama,
- 31:00Speaker 3: daughter in law, and three grandchildren were killed in the
- 31:02Speaker 3: bombing of the family home during the twenty fourteen war. Now,
- 31:07Speaker 3: it makes no mention of the fact that the twenty
- 31:09Speaker 3: fourteen war began when Hamas kidnapped and slaughtered three Israeli teenagers.
- 31:14Speaker 3: That was the beginning of.
- 31:16Speaker 2: That fifty two day war.
- 31:19Speaker 3: Israel punished Hamas severely as you would expect. The article
- 31:23Speaker 3: continues like that, I could show you more quotes, we
- 31:25Speaker 3: don't have time, but I don't like the way it's
- 31:28Speaker 3: centered suffering amongst Hamas leaders as if there's a moral
- 31:34Speaker 3: equivalent between their suffering and that of the Israelis. Hammas
- 31:37Speaker 3: leadership bought suffering upon themselves and asking the public to
- 31:42Speaker 3: feel sorry for them, I think is abhorrent.
- 31:44Speaker 5: Sorry, I just wanted to have to check that because
- 31:46Speaker 5: he said twenty fourteen war. They were Yeah, Osama, daughter
- 31:50Speaker 5: in law and three grandchildren were court were killed in
- 31:53Speaker 5: the bombing of the family home during the twenty fourteen war.
- 31:56Speaker 5: That's not October. Are you just talking Aboutober seven?
- 32:01Speaker 3: Well, both this article refers to his leadership of her
- 32:03Speaker 3: Mass now and the fact that his election to the
- 32:06Speaker 3: leadership of her Mass was interrupted by Israeli bombing in Gaza,
- 32:11Speaker 3: Israeli bombing Gaza because of what Hamas did on October seven.
- 32:15Speaker 3: Then it goes on to talk about how he's also
- 32:17Speaker 3: lost relatives, not just in this latest conflict, but back
- 32:20Speaker 3: in twenty fourteen.
- 32:21Speaker 2: Right, Well, they kidnapped.
- 32:23Speaker 3: Three Israeli teenagers, shot them dead, then Israeli went Israel
- 32:28Speaker 3: went in to retaliate.
- 32:30Speaker 2: But there's no mention of.
- 32:31Speaker 5: Look, I disagree with you on this. I mean, we've
- 32:33Speaker 5: seen some shocking examples of antie Israel bias over the
- 32:36Speaker 5: past couple of years, but I don't think this is
- 32:38Speaker 5: one of them. This, to me is just a factual
- 32:40Speaker 5: out factual did not include facts.
- 32:44Speaker 4: What are you talking about in a thousand words if
- 32:47Speaker 4: you're going to put everything, how do you have not.
- 32:50Speaker 3: How could you have a one thousand word article about
- 32:52Speaker 3: Hamas and say nothing about October seven because you.
- 32:55Speaker 4: Have to live under a rock if you don't know
- 32:57Speaker 4: that October seven a lot.
- 32:58Speaker 2: Of people live under Roxley days. Have you seen appropriate?
- 33:02Speaker 5: But you know? Okay? An example of an actual piece
- 33:04Speaker 5: that I would say is biased with what the New
- 33:06Speaker 5: York Times did when the Ayatola was killed, and that
- 33:09Speaker 5: then their headline was hardline cleric who made a run
- 33:12Speaker 5: a regional power. That is biased. This is just a
- 33:16Speaker 5: basic factual play by play of Khalil A Hayar's life.
- 33:21Speaker 3: Is you want to generate sympathy for Arabish it is
- 33:23Speaker 3: James the.
- 33:26Speaker 2: Four Sons to James.
- 33:28Speaker 4: The Telegraph is probably the last remaining conservative newspaper in England.
- 33:34Speaker 2: Right, That's why I was saying, disappointed and read that.
- 33:36Speaker 4: And having read the entire report and you've read out
- 33:39Speaker 4: three paragraphs of it, it is a factual report of
- 33:44Speaker 4: what has happened, and the context of what you read
- 33:47Speaker 4: out about the debts, which are directly related. I think
- 33:51Speaker 4: a pertinent information to him becoming leader of Hamas. It
- 33:56Speaker 4: goes on following the paragraphs you read to then detail
- 33:59Speaker 4: into actions that the United States have had that Jared
- 34:02Speaker 4: kush Us and Steve Witkoff have had in their negotiations
- 34:06Speaker 4: with Hamas, and how they directly used this stuff as
- 34:11Speaker 4: part of the negotiations. So I think it is entirely
- 34:14Speaker 4: relevant to the fact that the US is part of
- 34:18Speaker 4: this war, that this guy is now the leader of Hamas,
- 34:22Speaker 4: that the US is a major part of negotiations and
- 34:25Speaker 4: will be in future on anything that happens in the
- 34:28Speaker 4: Middle East. I don't think any of it served to
- 34:31Speaker 4: humanize him, having read the article, and I'd be fully.
- 34:34Speaker 1: With you if I thought that's what I read. But
- 34:37Speaker 1: the article was not designed to humanize him.
- 34:39Speaker 4: It was a factual report of what has happened and
- 34:42Speaker 4: the context of what that means for him now being
- 34:46Speaker 4: the leader with other Western nations that will deal with him.
- 34:50Speaker 4: I did not read anything in that article that made
- 34:53Speaker 4: me think it was a puff piece to humanize the
- 34:55Speaker 4: new leader of Hamas at all and.
- 34:57Speaker 3: Even Bok about the election process in Gars are being
- 35:00Speaker 3: interrupted by is continuing Israeli options.
- 35:03Speaker 5: It's true, but it's true. True, It's true though, but
- 35:06Speaker 5: that's not offensive to Jews in any way. It's just
- 35:09Speaker 5: a fact of what has occurred. And I also don't
- 35:11Speaker 5: think about talking about the election process in itself as
- 35:13Speaker 5: anything controversial. It's a play by play of what has
- 35:16Speaker 5: occurred over the last couple of months. I disagree, and
- 35:19Speaker 5: I think that both Caleb and I are very quick
- 35:22Speaker 5: to point out the bias in the media when it
- 35:24Speaker 5: comes to anti it comes to being anti Israel pro Palestine.
- 35:27Speaker 5: But this is just not one of them.
- 35:28Speaker 3: Your point about very negotiations, that's about two thirds of
- 35:31Speaker 3: the way through the article.
- 35:32Speaker 2: They got it.
- 35:33Speaker 5: They've got to establish who this guy is, and it's my.
- 35:37Speaker 3: Point, but they don't refer to him as a terrorist leader.
- 35:40Speaker 3: They don't refer to him as someone who's slaughtered twelve
- 35:43Speaker 3: hundred Jews by invading Israel. They refer to him as
- 35:46Speaker 3: a grieving father. And we're supposed to feel sorry for
- 35:49Speaker 3: this term.
- 35:50Speaker 4: I don't mean the intention of the article is not
- 35:53Speaker 4: to make you feel sorry for him. It is to
- 35:55Speaker 4: incorrect you as to why he would want to lead
- 35:57Speaker 4: that organization.
- 35:58Speaker 1: I think it is informed as to who this man is.
- 36:02Speaker 4: It's not saying, oh, he's a wonderful chap and we
- 36:04Speaker 4: should all now love him. It's simply saying, this is
- 36:07Speaker 4: the context of this guy. This is his involvement with Hamas.
- 36:10Speaker 4: He's now risen up to this position that will obviously
- 36:14Speaker 4: inform things he does as the leader of HAMAS. This
- 36:17Speaker 4: is the interactions he's had with the United States, which
- 36:19Speaker 4: has been directly related to these things that have happened
- 36:22Speaker 4: to his family.
- 36:23Speaker 1: I think it's all just pertinent information.
- 36:25Speaker 3: Can ask you a question to Nika, Yes, do we
- 36:27Speaker 3: feel sorry for Kirstarmer?
- 36:29Speaker 5: No? I don't see another. And now, if you want
- 36:33Speaker 5: a real example of a boring bank clerk, ladies and gentlemen,
- 36:36Speaker 5: Kirs Starmer is certainly the village idiot of them all.
- 36:39Speaker 5: Let's lighten the mood, shall we go from one extreme
- 36:42Speaker 5: to another? Kiir Starmer, of course, he resigned. His last
- 36:45Speaker 5: day was yesterday. Andy Burnham who was elected to that
- 36:48Speaker 5: role unelected by the people of the UK, but by
- 36:51Speaker 5: his own party of course, and he is now the
- 36:53Speaker 5: prime Minister of the UK. So what did Kios Starmer
- 36:56Speaker 5: do after giving his final speech to the nation. Well,
- 37:00Speaker 5: he went down to the pub, didn't He had a
- 37:02Speaker 5: couple of pints here he is. I mean, what else
- 37:05Speaker 5: would you be doing after you've just resigned and you've
- 37:07Speaker 5: said you're goodbyes said see you lad to your service.
- 37:09Speaker 5: There he is with Angela Rayner sorry Rachel Reeves rather
- 37:15Speaker 5: having a puff of her vape while they're just standing
- 37:18Speaker 5: around the pub. I don't blame him for going to.
- 37:22Speaker 4: Say, if you've just been deposed, as I've just been
- 37:24Speaker 4: deposed as Prime minister, I'd be going to the pub
- 37:27Speaker 4: for a part two. I think famously, when when was
- 37:32Speaker 4: it Tony Well, because we know when Tony Abbott was
- 37:34Speaker 4: deposed as Prime Minister, they had a big party in
- 37:37Speaker 4: Parliament House, and I think Jamie Briggs did himself for
- 37:40Speaker 4: a mischief and broke it to the marble table, didn't he.
- 37:42Speaker 4: And I think there's a there's a story about Kevin
- 37:45Speaker 4: Rudd when he was deposed as Prime minister. So either
- 37:48Speaker 4: Radal Gillard and they went down to the cellar at
- 37:52Speaker 4: at the Lodge and basically drank the joint dry.
- 37:55Speaker 1: Before they live.
- 37:57Speaker 4: You know, I sympathized, Why did you if you had
- 38:00Speaker 4: the opportunity.
- 38:01Speaker 2: Of course you would.
- 38:02Speaker 3: I think that's the most relatable and human we've seen
- 38:05Speaker 3: k so wooden and cardboard line.
- 38:08Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, exactly. Even him in a shirt as well,
- 38:12Speaker 5: I was a bit bit jarring. I've never seen him
- 38:13Speaker 5: look so like normal before.
- 38:15Speaker 3: We'll get used to seeing a promise a shirt because
- 38:18Speaker 3: I promise that's all he's going to wear, no tie.
- 38:21Speaker 2: To see him in a long suit well shirt.
- 38:24Speaker 4: I saw a woman rocking up to number ten, either
- 38:26Speaker 4: last tight or this morning, who was wearing a suit
- 38:29Speaker 4: and tie. I thought Jesus over compensation for Andy Byrne.
- 38:33Speaker 4: But I just want to note as well that I
- 38:35Speaker 4: did see some of the you know, center right media
- 38:39Speaker 4: in the UK over idle members of criticizing Sakia for
- 38:44Speaker 4: going out and having a beer afterwards and saying it
- 38:46Speaker 4: was a bat Really there's I saw some stuff on
- 38:50Speaker 4: X It's like, seriously, the guys allowed to have a beer.
- 38:54Speaker 4: He's just been deposed as Prime Minister of all the things.
- 38:57Speaker 4: It was kind of along the lines of, you know,
- 38:59Speaker 4: other people are the cost of living crisis.
- 39:01Speaker 1: It's a bad look going.
- 39:03Speaker 5: On I'm all the kids of all the thinky a start,
- 39:05Speaker 5: I know, I know has done having a b Yeah,
- 39:09Speaker 5: that's it, all.
- 39:10Speaker 2: Right, We're going to go to a break.
- 39:11Speaker 3: When we come back, we'll look at what's making headlines tomorrow,
- 39:13Speaker 3: including an incredible story on the front page of Tomorrow's
- 39:16Speaker 3: Australian about some of these people who joined ISIS and
- 39:19Speaker 3: now want to come back to our country.
- 39:22Speaker 2: We'll show you that after this welcome back to the program.
- 39:31Speaker 3: Let's take a look at what's making headlines tomorrow in Caleb,
- 39:35Speaker 3: most of the newspapers tomorrow are all celebrating our Commonwealth
- 39:38Speaker 3: Games team.
- 39:39Speaker 1: Indeed they are. I'll give you one example of it.
- 39:41Speaker 4: On the front of the Advertiser tomorrow Hearts of Gold,
- 39:44Speaker 4: Nina Kennedy and the Aussie team ready to top medal
- 39:48Speaker 4: table in Glasgow. And don't forget they could have been
- 39:51Speaker 4: topping the middle table in Victoria. But never mind, we've
- 39:56Speaker 4: paid for the privilege of someone else to get that.
- 40:00Speaker 1: Commonwealth Games.
- 40:01Speaker 4: But also at the top there, Madra on the men today,
- 40:04Speaker 4: you might remember.
- 40:05Speaker 1: We brought you this story a few weeks ago.
- 40:08Speaker 4: Tony Modra, of course, legendary Adelaide Crow's player who had
- 40:13Speaker 4: a crash in his cattle truck and was off to
- 40:17Speaker 4: hospital in a serious condition. Whill he's on the mend
- 40:20Speaker 4: and he's posted some new photos on social media looking
- 40:24Speaker 4: pretty well, I have to say. And he's posted on
- 40:28Speaker 4: Instagram saying SA Ambulance Server, South Coast District Hospital and
- 40:32Speaker 4: Flinder's Medical Center saved my life, put me back together
- 40:36Speaker 4: with a few titanium plates and got me home. I'm
- 40:39Speaker 4: getting out and about a bit now and slowly catching
- 40:42Speaker 4: up on everything I missed over the last month. I'm
- 40:44Speaker 4: so humble to learn how many people were cheering these
- 40:47Speaker 4: incredible medical teams on and our family too. I'll never
- 40:50Speaker 4: be able to thank everyone enough. And the only reports,
- 40:55Speaker 4: of course were that he were in a pretty bad way,
- 40:58Speaker 4: you know, life threatening injuries.
- 41:01Speaker 1: You know, a godra as they call him.
- 41:03Speaker 4: He was pretty fearless on the football field and clearly
- 41:06Speaker 4: pretty fearless in life as well, because to be able
- 41:10Speaker 4: to pull through that, and in those photos, you know,
- 41:12Speaker 4: you wouldn't know that he'd been through anything.
- 41:15Speaker 1: Really, he looks pretty fit and well.
- 41:17Speaker 4: I'm sure he feels not quite as good, but you
- 41:20Speaker 4: know what an amazing effort from him, and of course
- 41:22Speaker 4: the hospital staff and everyone around who's got him through this.
- 41:25Speaker 3: It's funny how much sport means to people like You're
- 41:29Speaker 3: at Adelaide Crow support. I couldn't care less about the Crows.
- 41:31Speaker 3: It's North Melbourne all the way. But I distinctly remember
- 41:35Speaker 3: Tony Modra as being the most incredible player to watch.
- 41:38Speaker 3: And I've not thought about Tony Modra for the longest
- 41:41Speaker 3: time because he retired so long ago. But the moment
- 41:44Speaker 3: I heard he was in a critical condition in hospital,
- 41:47Speaker 3: automatically you feel this sense of empathy and sympathy for
- 41:50Speaker 3: someone you've never met before, you haven't thought of in
- 41:53Speaker 3: the longest time, but in that period of your life,
- 41:55Speaker 3: because they were so brilliant on the sporting field, they
- 41:58Speaker 3: kind of mean.
- 41:59Speaker 5: Something to you and it's a it does because you
- 42:01Speaker 5: feel like you know them. And I think Tony Modri
- 42:03Speaker 5: used to play for the Dockers at Fremantle, didn't hear, Yeah,
- 42:05Speaker 5: that's right, I remember because he was a very big
- 42:07Speaker 5: star in Western Australia. In Perth especially, it's such a
- 42:11Speaker 5: smaller community that I remember everyone when Madra mad at
- 42:15Speaker 5: one point, so you do feel like you know the player.
- 42:17Speaker 5: And look, it's really wonderful to hear that he is
- 42:19Speaker 5: on the men, because it wouldn't have just been very
- 42:21Speaker 5: difficult for him, but also for his family as well.
- 42:24Speaker 5: Let's take a look at tomorrow's Australian Assie Isis bro shock.
- 42:27Speaker 5: Doctor g hads not dead. One of the nation's most
- 42:30Speaker 5: infamous Islamic state fighters. The Perth born pediatrician dubbed Doctor
- 42:35Speaker 5: G had widely presumed to have been killed in Syria
- 42:38Speaker 5: nearly a decade ago, is alive in prison in an
- 42:40Speaker 5: Iraqi jail and one of thirteen Australian men linked to
- 42:44Speaker 5: the terror group hoping to be released and returned home
- 42:47Speaker 5: only weeks after the controversial return of ten Isis brides
- 42:50Speaker 5: and their children from Syria. The Labor government is understood
- 42:52Speaker 5: to be aware that Tarik Cumley, the former Adelaide playboy
- 42:55Speaker 5: turned Isis savior, is locked inside a high security bagged
- 43:00Speaker 5: we had prison undergoing interrogation by the country's elite counter
- 43:03Speaker 5: terrorism judiciary. Well, you know, it's not like Tony Burke
- 43:06Speaker 5: has been able to guarantee that we won't see any
- 43:08Speaker 5: of these people back in Australia. I guess we'll wait
- 43:12Speaker 5: and see.
- 43:13Speaker 3: Why are they not making immediate laws to guarantee that
- 43:15Speaker 3: we don't see these.
- 43:16Speaker 5: People, Well, why don't they do it with the ice bribes.
- 43:19Speaker 3: In the gy I presume I'm presuming he will argue
- 43:22Speaker 3: that he was a non combatant, He was providing medical
- 43:25Speaker 3: aid and assistance, and he will argue that that's his
- 43:29Speaker 3: reason for him to be allowed back to Australia.
- 43:31Speaker 2: But whether you were shooting guns.
- 43:33Speaker 3: Or providing medical assistance to a terror group, you're still
- 43:36Speaker 3: involved in a terrorist.
- 43:37Speaker 5: One hundred percent. So we'll wait and see. Also on
- 43:40Speaker 5: the front page, crisis riddled Alice Like the Middle East,
- 43:45Speaker 5: Alice Springs has become a conflict zone like the Middle East,
- 43:47Speaker 5: as Aboriginal people from remote areas of the nation abandoned
- 43:50Speaker 5: their dilapidated home communities. According to testimony to a parliamentary inquiry,
- 43:57Speaker 5: ARA MET leader Graham Smith told a committee of Labor,
- 44:00Speaker 5: Liberal Nationals and independent MPs in his hometown of Alice
- 44:03Speaker 5: Springs that a lot of the visitors coming into town
- 44:06Speaker 5: are here because of the unmet needs in the bush.
- 44:09Speaker 5: They flood into the service centers which is Alice Springs,
- 44:13Speaker 5: and then we've got a melting pot of a mixture
- 44:15Speaker 5: of tribes well, you know, these are the people that
- 44:19Speaker 5: are on the ground and the Alis, they know exactly
- 44:21Speaker 5: what's going on. But this is this has been going
- 44:23Speaker 5: on for years, and the politicians are too scared to
- 44:26Speaker 5: touch it.
- 44:26Speaker 4: And he says, you know, it's like the Middle East,
- 44:28Speaker 4: and here we are worried about all these people like
- 44:30Speaker 4: this isis doctor. It would have shame he still alive
- 44:34Speaker 4: in the Middle East. We have in our own backyard
- 44:38Speaker 4: what you could probably fairly call atrocities going on, and
- 44:42Speaker 4: we turn a blind eye because, oh, you know, we
- 44:44Speaker 4: don't want to interfere in indigenous communities because it might
- 44:46Speaker 4: be perceived as racist.
- 44:48Speaker 1: I think it is. The racist thing is not doing
- 44:50Speaker 1: anything about it.
- 44:51Speaker 5: I agree, And just very quickly. Liberal battle for presidency
- 44:54Speaker 5: presidency rages in side state divisions. South Australian Liberal president
- 44:57Speaker 5: and Santa Leah Blythe has not ruled out running against
- 45:00Speaker 5: her conservative factional ally Alexandtik for the state's party presidency,
- 45:04Speaker 5: amid a bit of brawl over the direction of the
- 45:07Speaker 5: decimated division and growing concerns about one nation's growing influence
- 45:11Speaker 5: in your home state. There Caleb, Fight night coming up,
- 45:14Speaker 5: Fight Night, Bring it.
- 45:15Speaker 2: On, eh, all right, we're going to go to a break.
- 45:17Speaker 3: When we come back at Grandma gets a massive shock
- 45:20Speaker 3: when she picks up her government issued number plates.
- 45:24Speaker 2: That's next. Well.
- 45:29Speaker 3: A Chinese robotics company has staged the world's first ever
- 45:33Speaker 3: robot mixed martial arts fight. It drew a huge crowd,
- 45:37Speaker 3: including Chinese movie stars.
- 45:50Speaker 2: Highly entertaining. Here's what I don't get right.
- 45:53Speaker 3: This company is trying to promote how good are our
- 45:55Speaker 3: humanoid robots. I mean, look at them fight, and we're
- 45:58Speaker 3: going to make ten thousand of these things.
- 46:00Speaker 2: Make you feel safe?
- 46:01Speaker 5: To me, Well, I lost its head.
- 46:04Speaker 2: Because it was kicked on the head by a robot.
- 46:06Speaker 5: And lost its head. I mean, if people are actually
- 46:08Speaker 5: paying to watch that, he's still going, and he's still
- 46:10Speaker 5: going like they look like they're having a stroke.
- 46:14Speaker 1: I tell you what I've never had.
- 46:16Speaker 4: I've never really been into boxing or combat sports, but
- 46:21Speaker 4: I reckon after a few beers that would go so hard.
- 46:26Speaker 4: I would pay good money to go and watch clankers
- 46:30Speaker 4: fight each other, because you know what, if we're going
- 46:33Speaker 4: to have them and unfortunately would seem a reality of
- 46:35Speaker 4: the world that we are. Now, that's a pretty good
- 46:41Speaker 4: and he's picking up and.
- 46:42Speaker 1: Going decapitated a head.
- 46:44Speaker 4: I mean, where else do you get that kind of
- 46:46Speaker 4: entertainment that is that is magnificent. I'll tell you what
- 46:50Speaker 4: else is rather entertaining. And though I'm not sure, sefty
- 46:53Speaker 4: six year old Florida grandmother Nancy Dello.
- 46:57Speaker 1: Streeto saw it quite this way.
- 46:58Speaker 4: She went to pick up her new number plates from
- 47:01Speaker 4: the government in Florida, got to change them on her
- 47:04Speaker 4: motive vehicle, and this is what they gave her. She
- 47:08Speaker 4: was issued the number is quzi A five to five,
- 47:11Speaker 4: which looks suspiciously like squeeze ass. And she can't believe
- 47:18Speaker 4: what's been given. How could that pass inspection? She said,
- 47:21Speaker 4: I went ballistic.
- 47:23Speaker 1: Now if that.
- 47:23Speaker 4: Wasn't good enough, and this was actually foretold in Seinfeld, as.
- 47:33Speaker 2: I don't know, doesn't belong to me.
- 47:34Speaker 6: I'm not the ass man. I think there's been a mistake.
- 47:38Speaker 2: What's your name again, Cosmo Kramer?
- 47:40Speaker 6: Cosmo Kramer, you are the ass man.
- 47:45Speaker 4: It happened in Seinfeld, now it's happened in real life.
- 47:47Speaker 1: Is it life imitating art or the imitating art?
- 47:51Speaker 5: That's how would you be that seventy six year old
- 47:54Speaker 5: grandmother would squeeze ass on the back of the car.
- 47:57Speaker 5: Then everyone's going to be Yeah, they would be.
- 48:01Speaker 4: That's mortified hanging on, but that will be worth money something.
- 48:04Speaker 5: That's it.
- 48:04Speaker 2: Now.
- 48:05Speaker 5: We brought you the story of Keirs Darma over in
- 48:07Speaker 5: Britain and obviously the MP's are in the world. They're
- 48:09Speaker 5: ride at the moment. I have a look at these
- 48:11Speaker 5: two who seem to have forgotten their way around Downing
- 48:14Speaker 5: Street already.
- 48:15Speaker 1: Are you delighted with your jobs?
- 48:18Speaker 4: We have a veteran and we have one of the
- 48:20Speaker 4: high flyers of the Labor Party mere to Fumbuler and.
- 48:23Speaker 1: There they are, they walking out, They walk out the
- 48:25Speaker 1: wrong way. Whoop?
- 48:27Speaker 5: See's walking out the wrong way? After they had just
- 48:29Speaker 5: been given promotions as they're as part of Andy Burnham's
- 48:32Speaker 5: new cabinet. But they were having some sort of public hallucination.
- 48:36Speaker 2: Good metaphor for the Labor Party generally UK.
- 48:38Speaker 4: Is it not the best and brightest, you know, being
- 48:43Speaker 4: to get promotions? I mean, how many times would they
- 48:45Speaker 4: have been to number ten and they've gotten the right way?
- 48:48Speaker 4: Maybe they were just going to see Larry the Cat.
- 48:51Speaker 4: Larry the Cat, who's the chief mouser.
- 48:53Speaker 1: He's now seen.
- 48:54Speaker 4: I don't know how many prime ministers at number ten.
- 48:58Speaker 4: Maybe he was just a little down the way and
