- 0:02Speaker 1: Welcome late to play.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us. Great to have your company. I'm
- 0:09Speaker 2: James Macpherson with the Nika to Georgio and Caleb Bond,
- 0:12Speaker 2: who we all know is a great horse racing fan.
- 0:15Speaker 2: But I was thinking today I've not heard you mentioned
- 0:17Speaker 2: horse racing for ages. Have you still got some horses.
- 0:21Speaker 1: That you Yeah, I'll have a horse running at Flemington
- 0:24Speaker 1: on Saturday, all things going well, Samuel Langhorne, I think race.
- 0:28Speaker 3: One, I think at Flemington on Saturday, so we'll see
- 0:32Speaker 3: how we go.
- 0:33Speaker 2: Is this in the jumps?
- 0:34Speaker 3: No?
- 0:34Speaker 1: No, no, So they don't have jumps at Flemington anymore.
- 0:37Speaker 1: Once upon a time they had the Cup Day hurdle.
- 0:39Speaker 3: I wish they'd bring that back.
- 0:40Speaker 2: Sorry, this is one of your horses, but this is
- 0:42Speaker 2: one of my horses.
- 0:43Speaker 1: He is headed for the jumps. But he'll be having
- 0:45Speaker 1: a run at Flemington on Saturday. So let's let's see
- 0:48Speaker 1: what we can do.
- 0:48Speaker 3: Eh.
- 0:49Speaker 2: You're horse racing fan, Denick. You'd go for the dress ups,
- 0:51Speaker 2: wouldn't you.
- 0:52Speaker 4: Ah, I've only been to the Melbourne Cup once. I don't.
- 0:55Speaker 4: I don't love it. Sorry, Caleb's being honest.
- 0:57Speaker 3: Well that's I just don't.
- 1:00Speaker 2: I've never been maybe later this year I'll get to
- 1:02Speaker 2: my first horse racing.
- 1:03Speaker 3: Well, well, you went recently and loved it, I thought Randwick.
- 1:08Speaker 4: I went to Randwick for the first time. Look, I
- 1:10Speaker 4: enjoy the day out, But is it something that I'm
- 1:12Speaker 4: going to do on a regular basis? Probably not.
- 1:14Speaker 3: Well, there you go.
- 1:15Speaker 1: We'll see what we can do to convince to We'll
- 1:18Speaker 1: get her out amongst the real people, gener real people,
- 1:21Speaker 1: a little.
- 1:22Speaker 3: Inner city apartment, you know.
- 1:24Speaker 2: Right in the meantime, here's what's coming up on the
- 1:27Speaker 2: program tonight. A Brisbane football has been suspended after smashing
- 1:31Speaker 2: his opponent's head into the turf during an AFL match
- 1:34Speaker 2: at the weekend. But is that enough? Is there not
- 1:36Speaker 2: a place for police to get involved when a tackle
- 1:39Speaker 2: turns into an assault? And would you trust a robot
- 1:43Speaker 2: to organize your next overseas trip? Flight Center is betting
- 1:46Speaker 2: that you will. Plus, New South Wales police sacked for
- 1:49Speaker 2: refusing the COVID JAB have been told they're now welcome back.
- 1:53Speaker 2: But would you really bother? We'll get to all of
- 1:56Speaker 2: that shortly, but first, how long is too long to
- 1:59Speaker 2: be living with mum and Dad? A new study by
- 2:01Speaker 2: AMP has found a marked change in the attitude of
- 2:04Speaker 2: young people when it comes to leaving home. Unlike previous generations,
- 2:08Speaker 2: most young people today don't want to leave, or maybe
- 2:12Speaker 2: they just can't afford to. The study found sixty eight
- 2:15Speaker 2: percent of those age twenty to thirty nine support multi
- 2:19Speaker 2: generational living, but fewer than two in five people aged
- 2:23Speaker 2: sixty five and overdo. I wonder why so. Is this
- 2:26Speaker 2: a failure of ambition on the part of young people
- 2:29Speaker 2: or is it a failure of successive governments who've made
- 2:31Speaker 2: housing unaffordable. I'd argue it's very much the latter. Our
- 2:35Speaker 2: politicians constantly talk about supporting young people, but the only
- 2:39Speaker 2: support program they've created is the one that's always existed.
- 2:42Speaker 2: Mum and dad, what do you think, Denika? How old
- 2:44Speaker 2: were you when you moved out of home?
- 2:45Speaker 4: I was twenty seven years old when I moved to Sydney.
- 2:48Speaker 4: That's when I first moved out of home, and I
- 2:51Speaker 4: loved living at home, I really really did. Obviously, you
- 2:54Speaker 4: can save a lot more money, but if you've got
- 2:55Speaker 4: a good relationship with your parents, and I'm very lucky
- 2:58Speaker 4: that I do, and I know that your boys have
- 2:59Speaker 4: a wonderful relationship with you as well. It's fun, it's great,
- 3:03Speaker 4: and you look forward to seeing your mom and dad
- 3:05Speaker 4: every day. I feel like I was late to move
- 3:08Speaker 4: out of home. I think that by in my opinion,
- 3:11Speaker 4: Aussie standards, twenty seven is quite late. I feel like
- 3:14Speaker 4: we have a culture in this country where people do
- 3:16Speaker 4: move out of home late teens, early twenties. Maybe not
- 3:20Speaker 4: so much now according to this study, because people are
- 3:23Speaker 4: struggling with money and cost of living, so they're trying
- 3:26Speaker 4: to stay home longer. But I think there's a culture
- 3:29Speaker 4: of you move out straight away, and I wonder if
- 3:31Speaker 4: parents are ready to do that, where in Italian households
- 3:34Speaker 4: you stay forever and you stay up until you get married.
- 3:38Speaker 4: That's when you move out, and then when you do
- 3:39Speaker 4: get married, you end up moving right next to mom
- 3:42Speaker 4: and dad. So that's just a real Italian culture. But
- 3:46Speaker 4: look right now, it's very, very difficult to buy your
- 3:49Speaker 4: own place. And yet Labour's been talking to us about
- 3:52Speaker 4: this intergenerational equity, this line that's gone into the never
- 3:55Speaker 4: never now, and so of course more people are moving
- 3:59Speaker 4: back home. They're trying to say as much money as
- 4:00Speaker 4: they can, and I also feel like it probably helps
- 4:02Speaker 4: mom and dad out as well. To pay the bills.
- 4:05Speaker 1: Well, I can tell you I moved out of twenty
- 4:07Speaker 1: one and I was ready to get out of there
- 4:10Speaker 1: by the time I left. You know, surely there comes
- 4:13Speaker 1: a point where you feel like living with your parents
- 4:17Speaker 1: is clipping your wings a little bit, and you want
- 4:20Speaker 1: your own space with the freedom to do what you
- 4:23Speaker 1: want when you want. It's your domain as opposed to
- 4:26Speaker 1: someone else's domain. You don't have to be concerned with,
- 4:29Speaker 1: you know, whether you're disturbing other people in the house.
- 4:32Speaker 1: It's your house. You go find somewhere for you to live.
- 4:35Speaker 1: That is your place that you have to look after.
- 4:37Speaker 1: It gives you a level of responsibility, which I think
- 4:40Speaker 1: is important and is a good thing and something that
- 4:43Speaker 1: is delayed now for a lot of children. They're not children,
- 4:48Speaker 1: we're talking about young adults here, but I think their
- 4:51Speaker 1: childhood gets extended.
- 4:53Speaker 3: A lot longer than it used to because it's now an.
- 4:55Speaker 1: Expectation that you'll go to university and so like, if
- 4:58Speaker 1: you're going to UNI, it is.
- 4:59Speaker 3: Really hard to move out.
- 5:00Speaker 1: So a lot of kids will end up staying at
- 5:03Speaker 1: home until at least twenty four to twenty five, and
- 5:05Speaker 1: then they're finally getting a job but they're not earning
- 5:07Speaker 1: a lot of money, and on and on it goes.
- 5:09Speaker 3: But I could not wait to get out there.
- 5:12Speaker 1: What annoys me, though, is when you see and I
- 5:16Speaker 1: really don't understand it, and have a look at all
- 5:18Speaker 1: the people gallivanting around in Europe at the moment, young
- 5:22Speaker 1: people who are staying at home with mum and dad
- 5:27Speaker 1: so they can raise money to just go and spend it.
- 5:30Speaker 3: Right, what's wrong with me? If you wanted to, if
- 5:33Speaker 3: you wanted to.
- 5:33Speaker 1: Save money to go and buy yourself home, you're putting
- 5:37Speaker 1: together a deposit, which is what I did. As soon
- 5:39Speaker 1: as I had the money to go and buy a unit,
- 5:41Speaker 1: I was out of there. But if you're just staying
- 5:44Speaker 1: at home, you know, enjoying mum and dad's largess so
- 5:48Speaker 1: that you can go and have a gay old time
- 5:50Speaker 1: while they're paying off the mortgage for the house that
- 5:52Speaker 1: you're living in.
- 5:53Speaker 3: I don't think that's terrible.
- 5:54Speaker 4: I don't see what the problem is with that. If
- 5:56Speaker 4: you're contributing to help mom and dad out, if you're
- 5:58Speaker 4: paying for your grocery bills, your cookie, your own meals,
- 6:00Speaker 4: you are contributing to gas and all.
- 6:03Speaker 1: Be honest, that's not really happening in most situations with
- 6:07Speaker 1: a kid.
- 6:07Speaker 4: But how do you know that?
- 6:09Speaker 3: Because I lived at home for a while, My brother
- 6:11Speaker 3: lived at home until very riepent.
- 6:12Speaker 4: In a mum and dad might say, son, you're most
- 6:15Speaker 4: welcome to stay here, no worries. Are you able to
- 6:17Speaker 4: chip in for the groceries every now and then? Please,
- 6:19Speaker 4: because there's you know, we're trying to feed a big
- 6:21Speaker 4: family here we might and you know what, who cares
- 6:24Speaker 4: if they're going to Europe? If I say, you know what,
- 6:26Speaker 4: you're young, go and enjoy your time now, because once
- 6:29Speaker 4: you get a property, it's going to be even harder
- 6:31Speaker 4: to go on galivant around the world.
- 6:32Speaker 1: As you put it, I'd be saying, get the property asap,
- 6:35Speaker 1: because the sooner you getting in the market, the better.
- 6:37Speaker 2: But anyway, you're poking my buttons here, Caleb, because I've
- 6:40Speaker 2: got a son in Europe at the moment, and as
- 6:43Speaker 2: soon as he gets home we'll be talking about upping
- 6:45Speaker 2: the rate of But my boys have both said to me, Dad,
- 6:50Speaker 2: I don't know how we're ever going to be able
- 6:52Speaker 2: to move out until we get married, which is not
- 6:55Speaker 2: a bad thing, I suppose, because the cost of housing
- 6:58Speaker 2: in Sydney is just so prohibitive. And I think the
- 7:02Speaker 2: question is not why aren't young people moving out? The
- 7:05Speaker 2: question is why does someone with a full time job
- 7:07Speaker 2: still require parental assistance to survive in the economy that
- 7:11Speaker 2: we've been gifted by successive governments.
- 7:14Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, I mean, as I said before, intergenerational equity's
- 7:17Speaker 4: gone down by the never and ever. Rents are going up,
- 7:19Speaker 4: and it has been proven that rents will continue to
- 7:22Speaker 4: increase even with these tax changes as negative gearing and
- 7:26Speaker 4: the other tax change. So it is very, very difficult
- 7:29Speaker 4: unless you want to get a sharehouse. Now, I don't
- 7:31Speaker 4: think a sharehouse is for everybody. The prospect of living
- 7:34Speaker 4: with four or five others sends shivers up my spine,
- 7:38Speaker 4: to be quite honest. Look, a lot of people would
- 7:41Speaker 4: enjoy that. A lot of young people would enjoy that
- 7:43Speaker 4: sort of social experience. And I actually, for one, think
- 7:46Speaker 4: it's really important for young people to have that sort
- 7:48Speaker 4: of socialism.
- 7:49Speaker 2: I'm happy for the kids to live at home till
- 7:51Speaker 2: they're eighty. I would miss them. I would miss them
- 7:55Speaker 2: so badly when.
- 7:56Speaker 1: They Okay, so parents say this, And when I moved out,
- 8:01Speaker 1: you know, Mum moped around and moaned about it for
- 8:05Speaker 1: about three days, and then I'll go back to their
- 8:08Speaker 1: place for dinner and my old bedroom's suddenly been turned
- 8:11Speaker 1: into a craft room. I mean it happened in about
- 8:14Speaker 1: five seconds flat.
- 8:16Speaker 3: She said.
- 8:16Speaker 1: She was so sad I was leaving, But the minute
- 8:18Speaker 1: I was out of there, the room's been bloody taken
- 8:21Speaker 1: back and turned.
- 8:22Speaker 4: Into a craft Yeah, I must have met. Every time
- 8:24Speaker 4: I go back home to Perth, I open the wardrobe
- 8:26Speaker 4: and there's a George Forman grill sitting in there.
- 8:28Speaker 3: See.
- 8:29Speaker 4: Look, there's a slow cooker in the wardrobe. I'm going,
- 8:31Speaker 4: what is all these appliants expecting?
- 8:33Speaker 2: Like a shrine? To Daneaka of course, And I have to.
- 8:37Speaker 1: Say as well, I think there's the danger now that
- 8:42Speaker 1: people never get to really have some time to be
- 8:46Speaker 1: empty nesters, because people are having children older than they
- 8:49Speaker 1: used to, and then children are leaving older than they
- 8:53Speaker 1: used to, and so you might end up in this
- 8:55Speaker 1: position where you know, you don't get to have maybe
- 8:58Speaker 1: that ten or fifteen years where it's just you and
- 9:00Speaker 1: your wife or you and your husband that you get
- 9:03Speaker 1: to enjoy quietly together before you start having to face
- 9:06Speaker 1: the inevitable health problems that you will, which is a
- 9:09Speaker 1: time at which you might move back in with your
- 9:11Speaker 1: children or end up in a nursing home or whatever.
- 9:13Speaker 1: But that might be something that disappears, because if you're
- 9:17Speaker 1: having kids staying at home until you're you know, sixty
- 9:19Speaker 1: sixty five, seventy, and it's not long after that that
- 9:23Speaker 1: you might be having to look at going back to
- 9:25Speaker 1: live with them.
- 9:27Speaker 3: I think that's a little bit sad.
- 9:28Speaker 4: To people also working longer too.
- 9:30Speaker 3: Now well indeed, I mean, you know, it never ends.
- 9:33Speaker 3: Everything just gets older and older, it would seem.
- 9:35Speaker 1: Now He's an interesting story has lit up, particularly in Adelaide.
- 9:40Speaker 1: Who's involves a Port Adelaide football player. So on the
- 9:43Speaker 1: weekend Sunday in Brisbane, Port Adelaide was playing Brisbane and
- 9:48Speaker 1: it was Mitch Georgiades.
- 9:50Speaker 3: He's a port player.
- 9:51Speaker 1: His first game back from concussion. Now, he was tackled
- 9:55Speaker 1: during the game by Ty Gallup from Brisbane and in
- 9:59Speaker 1: the process of that tackle he ends up falling to
- 10:02Speaker 1: the ground.
- 10:02Speaker 3: But then afterwards you can see what just happened there.
- 10:06Speaker 1: Tig Gallup picks him up as he's on the ground
- 10:09Speaker 1: that is Mitch Georgiarde's.
- 10:11Speaker 3: And slams his head into the ground.
- 10:15Speaker 1: As I say, this is Mitch Georgiardi's first game back
- 10:19Speaker 1: since he had concussion, so you can imagine how he
- 10:23Speaker 1: would have felt having his head slammed into the ground
- 10:26Speaker 1: for no reason in that moment. Now, for this, Ti
- 10:30Speaker 1: Gallup has been given a three match suspension. Now keep
- 10:34Speaker 1: in mind that if you use a slur on the ground,
- 10:38Speaker 1: they'll give you four or five or.
- 10:40Speaker 3: Six weeks off.
- 10:41Speaker 1: Slamming someone's head into the ground is only three weeks
- 10:45Speaker 1: according to the AFL, which I find rather interesting. I
- 10:48Speaker 1: would have thought concussion is one of the major problems
- 10:51Speaker 1: that the sport is facing, and particularly for its longevity
- 10:53Speaker 1: at the moment.
- 10:54Speaker 3: But there you go.
- 10:55Speaker 1: That's what the AFL tribunal has to say about all
- 10:58Speaker 1: of this. Now, tig Gallup top the tribunal. Watching the footage,
- 11:02Speaker 1: I understand the retaliation to what happened wasn't fair. I've
- 11:06Speaker 1: gone out of my way to push him down, which
- 11:08Speaker 1: I'm sorry for and I do regret watching back.
- 11:10Speaker 3: The video is a very bad look and there is
- 11:13Speaker 3: no room for it in footy.
- 11:15Speaker 1: But it's also raised the question, particularly in the media
- 11:18Speaker 1: in Adelaide, whether or not this should be considered assault
- 11:21Speaker 1: because if you did that in a pub, if you
- 11:25Speaker 1: did that at the local park, you can be pretty
- 11:28Speaker 1: sure the coppers would be coming around to question you
- 11:31Speaker 1: and potentially arrest you on suspicion of assault. And the
- 11:36Speaker 1: Advertiser's chief court reporter, who of course works in and
- 11:40Speaker 1: around crime every day of the week, Sean Fuster, he's
- 11:43Speaker 1: had this to say. Given the down to player was helpless,
- 11:46Speaker 1: I'd agree with the concept that if this happened in public,
- 11:49Speaker 1: there's a chance police would be called and the criminal
- 11:52Speaker 1: justice system would.
- 11:54Speaker 3: Kick into action.
- 11:55Speaker 1: So the question is should what happens on the football
- 11:59Speaker 1: field become a matter of assault. I mean, I think
- 12:02Speaker 1: it's a pretty poor look what Tiger Gallup did. It
- 12:06Speaker 1: was not called for at all. I think it's a
- 12:08Speaker 1: bad look for AFL more broadly that he's only been
- 12:11Speaker 1: given three matches. But is there not an element of
- 12:16Speaker 1: you know, biff happens on the football field and it's
- 12:19Speaker 1: one of the only places where biff can happen, and
- 12:22Speaker 1: I sometimes wish we had a bit more biff in
- 12:24Speaker 1: Aussie Rules than we used to, and so things like
- 12:27Speaker 1: this do happen in the heat of the game, and
- 12:30Speaker 1: we kind of have to accept that. You know, it's
- 12:33Speaker 1: Aussie rules, it's not down at the pub.
- 12:35Speaker 2: I realized what I'm about to say is entirely subjective.
- 12:38Speaker 2: But I would draw a line between biff, which I
- 12:40Speaker 2: quite enjoyed back in the eighties and nineties when you
- 12:43Speaker 2: had a bit of biff on the field and someone
- 12:45Speaker 2: who's king hit or someone who, as you just showed,
- 12:48Speaker 2: is slammed into the ground when they're already lying prone.
- 12:52Speaker 2: They're not expecting it, they don't see it coming. It's
- 12:54Speaker 2: got nothing to do with the game. It was a
- 12:57Speaker 2: long way from where the play was. Understand how that
- 13:01Speaker 2: is not assault And the fact is there's precedent for this.
- 13:04Speaker 2: Back in nineteen eighty five Lee Matthews, who's a legend
- 13:07Speaker 2: of the game, but he was charged with assault and
- 13:11Speaker 2: convicted after this hit on Geelong player Neville Bruns which
- 13:15Speaker 2: broke the Geelong player's jaw.
- 13:16Speaker 3: Have a look at this lethal reputation.
- 13:19Speaker 1: By stopping Geelong's Neville Bruns cold in his tracks, this
- 13:23Speaker 1: incident escaped the umpire's attention.
- 13:26Speaker 2: As I said, Lee Matthews pleaded guilty to assault. I
- 13:30Speaker 2: think it was fined about one thousand dollars but convicted. That,
- 13:34Speaker 2: as I understand, is the only case in an AFL
- 13:38Speaker 2: VFL game where an on field incident has resulted in
- 13:42Speaker 2: police charges. But if you allow this to happen in
- 13:45Speaker 2: AFL games, what's to stop it happening at local park
- 13:48Speaker 2: football where guys think that, Well, once I'm on the
- 13:51Speaker 2: footy field, I can pretty much do what I want.
- 13:54Speaker 2: You've got to draw a line somewhere, and I think
- 13:56Speaker 2: if you king hit or slam someone into the ground,
- 13:58Speaker 2: that's got nothing to do with a game. It's a salt.
- 14:02Speaker 4: I don't think it's a salt. Do I think it
- 14:04Speaker 4: was deliberate and purposeful? Yes?
- 14:06Speaker 1: I do.
- 14:08Speaker 4: But I'm with Caleb on this one. I think that
- 14:10Speaker 4: there is always going to be some biff on the
- 14:12Speaker 4: football field. If anything, I actually think it's more indicative
- 14:16Speaker 4: of the tribunal's decisions, because I don't think because we
- 14:20Speaker 4: got three weeks three weeks for this, I would say
- 14:23Speaker 4: that three weeks for that is probably not long enough.
- 14:26Speaker 4: If I was here.
- 14:26Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so if you did that outside your local pub,
- 14:30Speaker 2: that would be a salt, right, But because it's on
- 14:32Speaker 2: the football field, it's not a salt.
- 14:33Speaker 1: So But would that be a salt on the Do
- 14:36Speaker 1: you think if you send someone's face into the pavement?
- 14:40Speaker 3: Okay, that absolutely that would be sult So on.
- 14:42Speaker 2: What grounds do you say what we saw in the
- 14:44Speaker 2: football field is not assault.
- 14:45Speaker 4: Because I just think that it wasn't deliberates, deliberate and purposeful. Yes,
- 14:49Speaker 4: but look at what happened with Barry Hall for example,
- 14:52Speaker 4: when he punched bread steaker in the face, right, he
- 14:55Speaker 4: got yeh, but he didn't he got five weeks I
- 14:58Speaker 4: believe it was five weeks for that one, No, seven weeks, sorry,
- 15:02Speaker 4: he got seven weeks for that, and nobody was talking
- 15:04Speaker 4: about assault back then at that time. So I think
- 15:07Speaker 4: that we have had incidents on the field, but never
- 15:10Speaker 4: have they ever amounted to assault. My issue with this
- 15:14Speaker 4: is is that I think it is, as I said,
- 15:16Speaker 4: indicative of tribunal decisions. He should have gotten longer, and
- 15:20Speaker 4: he should have copped one heck of a fine, one
- 15:22Speaker 4: heck of a fine because the tribunal has given people
- 15:26Speaker 4: longer suspensions. We look at the when we've spoken about
- 15:29Speaker 4: this before on the late debate, homophobic slurs for example,
- 15:33Speaker 4: and people have gotten five, six, seven weeks and upwards
- 15:37Speaker 4: of that, and this guy only got a couple of weeks.
- 15:40Speaker 4: The disparity is there. So if anything, I think that
- 15:44Speaker 4: maybe the tribunal needs to start reviewing its own policies.
- 15:48Speaker 2: What if the player in question sustained, you know, major
- 15:52Speaker 2: injuries as a result of that brain damage.
- 15:54Speaker 4: Then I was one hundred percent.
- 15:55Speaker 2: Okay, So you think it's assault depending on the severity
- 15:59Speaker 2: of injuries. So it's not action. It's the injury that
- 16:01Speaker 2: you're basing your judgment.
- 16:02Speaker 1: Right, But if Mitch Georgiardies felt that this was a
- 16:05Speaker 1: case of assault, could he not go and press charges himself.
- 16:08Speaker 2: I suppose he could, but do the peer pressure in
- 16:11Speaker 2: terms of football would be pretty enormous to not do that,
- 16:13Speaker 2: wouldn't it, because.
- 16:16Speaker 3: Well maybe you think the culture.
- 16:17Speaker 1: Maybe it's because the issue would then become that if
- 16:20Speaker 1: you set the precedent that as salt is something that
- 16:24Speaker 1: can happen on the football field, then you will have
- 16:27Speaker 1: to run the ruler over stuff that happens on the
- 16:29Speaker 1: football field much more closely. And I think it would
- 16:32Speaker 1: become almost impossible to govern the game. I mean, you know,
- 16:36Speaker 1: assault in the real world is touching someone without their consent,
- 16:41Speaker 1: you know, So if someone comes up to you in
- 16:43Speaker 1: a pub and just sort of you know, rough handles
- 16:46Speaker 1: you a little bit and you're not really hurt. But
- 16:48Speaker 1: but it was somewhat scary incident. I mean, that is
- 16:50Speaker 1: something that you could go to the police and report
- 16:52Speaker 1: for assault. And this sort of sort of stuff happens
- 16:54Speaker 1: on the football field all the time.
- 16:56Speaker 2: If I put my hand on the back of your
- 16:57Speaker 2: head and pulled you closer to tell you.
- 16:58Speaker 1: Something, well a main example that was found not to be,
- 17:02Speaker 1: of course, but but this this is stuff that could
- 17:05Speaker 1: be pressed as assault, treats as assault by the police.
- 17:08Speaker 3: So it would become impossible to gathern the game. I
- 17:11Speaker 3: don't think so.
- 17:11Speaker 2: I think it is a pretty easy distinction. That was
- 17:14Speaker 2: clearly nothing to do with the ball, nothing to do
- 17:17Speaker 2: with the game. It wasn't a tackle, he wasn't competing
- 17:20Speaker 2: for the ball, He was a long way from the play.
- 17:23Speaker 2: That was a pretty cut and dried case of physical assault.
- 17:27Speaker 4: Well, then suspend him for a long period of time
- 17:29Speaker 4: and give him one hell of a fine and perhaps
- 17:31Speaker 4: actually give him some sort of engagement in anger management
- 17:35Speaker 4: or something to help him along the radicalization.
- 17:38Speaker 2: Prof Wow, I go that far.
- 17:43Speaker 4: That's true. You know, he obviously needs a good talking
- 17:45Speaker 4: to very clearly, a stern chat, a stern chat, and
- 17:49Speaker 4: maybe some development with.
- 17:50Speaker 2: The local police officer.
- 17:51Speaker 4: I reckon with a local cop. All right, let's move
- 17:54Speaker 4: on now, would you be okay with a robot booking
- 17:58Speaker 4: your overseas holiday? Well, that is the way that the
- 18:02Speaker 4: travel sector is going. Flight Center is now using digital
- 18:06Speaker 4: humans to what it says, reimagine the future of travel bookings.
- 18:11Speaker 4: They currently have three thousand, five hundred agents that are employed,
- 18:15Speaker 4: three thousand, five hundred independent agents, so that's seven thousand
- 18:19Speaker 4: in total, and they have another three thousand, five hundred
- 18:23Speaker 4: AI bots helping you out. Their CEO, James Kavanaugh said,
- 18:28Speaker 4: these digital humans acted in Australian accents. They talked with
- 18:33Speaker 4: ums and stutters and sounded so incredibly human. The technology
- 18:37Speaker 4: is so advanced. Imagine a future where you have a
- 18:40Speaker 4: human who has an AI agent acting on their behalf.
- 18:44Speaker 4: So the question then is if the business has a
- 18:46Speaker 4: surge in agents, you might not even know they're human.
- 18:50Speaker 4: So it gets you to think about what it might be.
- 18:53Speaker 4: What might be an agent to agent conversation as opposed
- 18:57Speaker 4: to exclusively human. There you go, So next time you
- 19:00Speaker 4: look at Flight Center, you may not even know, but
- 19:03Speaker 4: AI is even extending to the court room. Over in
- 19:07Speaker 4: the UK, a rape trial has now collapsed after the
- 19:11Speaker 4: alleged victim used AI to prepare her answers in court.
- 19:16Speaker 4: This happened at the Loose Crown Court, where this woman
- 19:18Speaker 4: admitted to using an AI chatbot to prepare for her
- 19:21Speaker 4: cross examination. Now, witness coaching is prohibited in the UK
- 19:25Speaker 4: because of concerns that memories could be contaminated, or that
- 19:28Speaker 4: witnesses may alter their accounts to clear up any inconsistencies
- 19:32Speaker 4: and align with their stories. The Court of Appeal said, quote,
- 19:35Speaker 4: an honest witness may alter the emphasis of his evidence
- 19:38Speaker 4: to accommodate what he thinks may be a different, more accurate,
- 19:41Speaker 4: or simply better remembered perception of events. A dishonest witness
- 19:46Speaker 4: will very rapidly circulate how this testimony may be improved. Now, firstly,
- 19:51Speaker 4: I just comment on this court case. Lawyers actually use
- 19:55Speaker 4: AI now to help prepare for their case. The difference
- 19:58Speaker 4: is using it as a tool for preparation, but not
- 20:01Speaker 4: using it in the court room for actual court of
- 20:05Speaker 4: law processes. So I agree with the court's decision on this.
- 20:09Speaker 4: You can't just rock up to court with a pre
- 20:12Speaker 4: prepared AI chatbot answer. That's unfair. It's unjust to the
- 20:17Speaker 4: court system, and it needs to be based on actual evidence,
- 20:20Speaker 4: not via a robot. As for flight center, I don't
- 20:24Speaker 4: know about you, but I will always book my own flights.
- 20:27Speaker 4: But the experience of going into flight center, sitting there,
- 20:30Speaker 4: getting a personalized experience, a chat one on one, and
- 20:35Speaker 4: a lot of older people in particular like that one
- 20:37Speaker 4: on one experience. How on earth is a robot supposed
- 20:40Speaker 4: to help you when you're stranded somewhere overseas.
- 20:43Speaker 2: I find the process of sitting with a travel agent
- 20:45Speaker 2: in exhausting. Why because I have so much detail and
- 20:50Speaker 2: what about this? What about this? What about this? How
- 20:52Speaker 2: much easier just to have AI can in a moment
- 20:55Speaker 2: go through every possibility give you the best options of
- 20:58Speaker 2: connecting flights and you go from having a travel agent
- 21:01Speaker 2: essentially to a concierge who's available twenty four to seven.
- 21:05Speaker 2: I mean the things they could do with your itinery
- 21:08Speaker 2: through AI, where you could travel around the world and
- 21:10Speaker 2: everything is on your phone at the click of a button,
- 21:13Speaker 2: rather than having to have you ever been overseas and
- 21:15Speaker 2: you're trying to contact your travel agent because a connecting
- 21:18Speaker 2: flight hasn't worked out or something, and you're trying to
- 21:20Speaker 2: juggle time differences and they're trying to sort things that
- 21:23Speaker 2: AI would just make the whole thing seamless.
- 21:26Speaker 4: I mean, you're going to kill the entire workforce. The
- 21:28Speaker 4: travel agent industry will be shut down.
- 21:30Speaker 2: And I'll leave Caleb to defend the workers, because that's
- 21:34Speaker 2: what Caleb typically does when it comes to AI. Can
- 21:36Speaker 2: I just point something out? First we had trans women,
- 21:39Speaker 2: Now we've got digital humans.
- 21:41Speaker 3: I know what the hell is digital that?
- 21:42Speaker 4: Amana?
- 21:44Speaker 2: Amenah?
- 21:45Speaker 1: Yeah, we can't edit out the things that go wrong
- 21:48Speaker 1: with humans because it would seem, you know, to Dodgy
- 21:51Speaker 1: would seriously. Good travel agents generally have done a lot
- 21:56Speaker 1: of traveling themselves, and this is what you miss out
- 22:00Speaker 1: in AI or any of this technological stuff, is the
- 22:04Speaker 1: human element of the job.
- 22:06Speaker 3: Right.
- 22:06Speaker 1: So a good travel agent, you know, we'll be able
- 22:09Speaker 1: to talk to you about certain places and things and
- 22:11Speaker 1: experiences and whatever, and hopefully have some knowledge of it
- 22:15Speaker 1: themselves because they've been there and they've seen it, or
- 22:17Speaker 1: one of their colleagues has been there and seen it,
- 22:20Speaker 1: and so they build up a knowledge base that you
- 22:23Speaker 1: get from experience. A robot is never going to have that,
- 22:27Speaker 1: and so I'm not sure that I trust an AI
- 22:30Speaker 1: bot to give me an itinerary in the same way
- 22:33Speaker 1: a human would, because a human might be able to say, oh,
- 22:36Speaker 1: you know, I know XYZ about you and this will
- 22:40Speaker 1: suit you really well. And when I was there, I
- 22:42Speaker 1: went to this restaurant and it was absolutely magnificent. Now
- 22:46Speaker 1: they can tell you that from a first person perspective,
- 22:48Speaker 1: an AI robot scraping the internet and going, oh, well,
- 22:51Speaker 1: other people said they like this, so maybe you would
- 22:53Speaker 1: like this as well.
- 22:54Speaker 3: I'm not sure that's the level of service. Wouldn't I
- 22:57Speaker 3: want from a travel age you wouldn't.
- 22:58Speaker 2: That be better? Because the situation you've just so, I'm
- 23:00Speaker 2: your travel agent, Well I went to here and I
- 23:02Speaker 2: liked this. That's entirely subjective, right, But if AI is
- 23:06Speaker 2: screeping the internet, as you say, from thousands of trip
- 23:09Speaker 2: Advisor reviews and so on, would that not be more
- 23:13Speaker 2: objective advice as to where you should go? What good
- 23:15Speaker 2: restaurant is?
- 23:16Speaker 4: Why do you know why? Because it can't give you
- 23:19Speaker 4: like the real personalized recommendation. Say, for instance, your travel
- 23:22Speaker 4: agent has been to an authentic Italian restaurant in Rome,
- 23:26Speaker 4: off the beaten track, where and non are in the
- 23:28Speaker 4: kitchen cooking. They can recommend that to you. If you
- 23:31Speaker 4: were to put it into chat GPT, for example, it
- 23:34Speaker 4: would not give you that. It would scroll across, you know,
- 23:37Speaker 4: the tourism sites. What's it called, the one where you
- 23:41Speaker 4: do the ratings and the tour the one way you
- 23:44Speaker 4: put your reviews trip Advisor, sorry, trip Advisor. It would
- 23:48Speaker 4: scroll through trip Advisor and look at some of the
- 23:50Speaker 4: high rated restaurants, and I guarantee you all of them
- 23:52Speaker 4: would be the tourist trap restaurants. They would not be
- 23:54Speaker 4: the off the beaten track, the authentic ones. So I agree.
- 23:58Speaker 4: I think that the travel age and industry hold a
- 24:00Speaker 4: very good place.
- 24:01Speaker 2: With regards that court case that you mentioned, which I
- 24:03Speaker 2: find really interesting, where the alleged victim in a rape
- 24:09Speaker 2: trial was using AI to prepare her testimony in court.
- 24:15Speaker 2: You're not allowed to have people coach your evidence, and clearly,
- 24:20Speaker 2: whether it's a human being or whether it's a digital
- 24:23Speaker 2: human being, you're being coached if you're using AI. The
- 24:27Speaker 2: funny thing about that is everyone uses AI for everything. Now,
- 24:30Speaker 2: most of our university students aren't writing anything without putting
- 24:34Speaker 2: it through AI. So do we really expect them when
- 24:37Speaker 2: they come to a court of law to be able
- 24:39Speaker 2: to coherently put things down without using what they use
- 24:43Speaker 2: for everything that they And.
- 24:44Speaker 1: This is part of my great concern for AIS, that
- 24:46Speaker 1: we're teaching people not to think for themselves. And you know,
- 24:50Speaker 1: and people said this about the Internet when you know,
- 24:53Speaker 1: Google and search.
- 24:54Speaker 3: Engines whatever came along.
- 24:55Speaker 1: Oh, you won't have to think for yourself anymore because
- 24:57Speaker 1: it's all available on the Internet all the time. You
- 24:59Speaker 1: won't have to learn any thing, but you still have
- 25:01Speaker 1: to go through the process of finding information and interpreting
- 25:05Speaker 1: information and whatever. A search engine like Google just presents
- 25:08Speaker 1: it to you, whereas AI is doing both. It's finding
- 25:12Speaker 1: the information, it's interpreting the information, and then it's you.
- 25:15Speaker 3: Know, telling it to you.
- 25:17Speaker 1: And so you effectively don't have to think for yourself anymore.
- 25:20Speaker 1: I'm not sure that's good for the race, chat.
- 25:23Speaker 4: GPT or anything.
- 25:24Speaker 2: Yeah, I use chat GPT now to rather than just
- 25:28Speaker 2: type something into Google to search I find with chat
- 25:31Speaker 2: GPT you can be far more specific in what you
- 25:34Speaker 2: want to find, and it will provide you with links
- 25:38Speaker 2: and so on and so. As a research tool.
- 25:41Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 25:42Speaker 2: I think it's really handy. There's probably better. I just
- 25:44Speaker 2: not experienced very much.
- 25:45Speaker 4: I agree. I use it. It's become my new Google,
- 25:47Speaker 4: to be honest, right, Yeah.
- 25:49Speaker 1: I mean I've used it to do things like calculations
- 25:52Speaker 1: which I can't be bothered doing, and making silly photographs
- 25:56Speaker 1: of Danika to send to her. So that's about the
- 26:00Speaker 1: extint of my I think they're really terrific.
- 26:02Speaker 4: It's the extint of my use.
- 26:04Speaker 3: Of AI have to say, And I'm pretty content to
- 26:06Speaker 3: leave it that.
- 26:07Speaker 4: I'm so glad that I keep you amused, kayleb, I'm
- 26:09Speaker 4: real it makes my day terrific. Thank you.
- 26:14Speaker 2: I had forgotten about COVID and thank god that's in
- 26:17Speaker 2: the past. But would you believe it? The New South
- 26:20Speaker 2: Wales Police Force has just this week updated their COVID advice.
- 26:25Speaker 2: They no longer believe that COVID vaccine is mandatory. I
- 26:30Speaker 2: can't believe they still had mandatory COVID vaccines up until
- 26:35Speaker 2: this week. They've now decided the COVID vaccine is recommended,
- 26:39Speaker 2: not mandatory. Now. Of course, there were fifty five New
- 26:42Speaker 2: South Wales Police officers sacked because they refused to take
- 26:46Speaker 2: the COVID vaccine back during the pandemic, and so the
- 26:49Speaker 2: new South Wales Police Services now said that those officers
- 26:54Speaker 2: who were It's funny, you know, the new South Wales
- 26:57Speaker 2: Police don't say sacked, they say who was separated.
- 27:02Speaker 3: Terror service.
- 27:03Speaker 2: I want to make a point about that language in
- 27:05Speaker 2: just a second. But they've said these officers who lost
- 27:07Speaker 2: their jobs because they refuse to take the jab are
- 27:10Speaker 2: now welcome to reapply for their jobs, and it sounds
- 27:16Speaker 2: like they're trying to make things right, but I don't
- 27:19Speaker 2: believe they are. The reason they've given for this is
- 27:22Speaker 2: because they're struggling with recruitment. They badly need officers. I'm
- 27:25Speaker 2: not sure fifty five is going to make a big difference,
- 27:28Speaker 2: but this has been the reason given in the media,
- 27:30Speaker 2: not because we did the wrong thing by demanding you
- 27:33Speaker 2: take the vaccine. We need more police officers, so we're
- 27:37Speaker 2: offering you guys a chance to come back. So it's
- 27:41Speaker 2: not to make a wrong right, it's for recruiting. It's
- 27:44Speaker 2: taken them this long. I can't believe that. And the
- 27:47Speaker 2: language they use, they don't even say that these people
- 27:50Speaker 2: were sacked, they say they were separated from the force.
- 27:53Speaker 2: Displays that the New South Wales Police officionados are not
- 27:57Speaker 2: owning the injustice that was done to these officers. Moreover,
- 28:02Speaker 2: they're being asked to reapply. They'll still have to go medicals.
- 28:05Speaker 2: I suppose that's fair enough. It's been a while, but
- 28:08Speaker 2: twelve weeks of training. It's going to be considered on
- 28:11Speaker 2: a case by case basis. This is far from restitution,
- 28:16Speaker 2: and I think, if you're one of those fifty five coppers,
- 28:20Speaker 2: why would you bother accepting an invitation like that having
- 28:23Speaker 2: been treated so poorly.
- 28:25Speaker 1: I know, by the way, I just had another thought
- 28:27Speaker 1: about the AI stuff that I should have said before,
- 28:30Speaker 1: but I've lost the I'll say it anyway. I was
- 28:33Speaker 1: just thinking, because you were saying about how you wouldn't
- 28:35Speaker 1: want to you like this idea that the robot will
- 28:38Speaker 1: just sort of tell you what to do and it
- 28:39Speaker 1: it gets all the best information. It occurred to me
- 28:42Speaker 1: that they had to make the human robot do ums
- 28:47Speaker 1: and rs because it's relatable, right. You expect imperfections, and
- 28:53Speaker 1: so people actually want the imperfections and the relatability of
- 28:56Speaker 1: a person, which you don't get from a robot. Having
- 29:00Speaker 1: to reverse the engineer that stuff into the back of
- 29:02Speaker 1: it right, which I think rather than proves the point
- 29:04Speaker 1: that people want to talk to a human being.
- 29:06Speaker 3: But coming back to this point, it.
- 29:09Speaker 1: Is just absurd, isn't it that you would be expected
- 29:12Speaker 1: to have and have to go and reapply for your
- 29:15Speaker 1: job that you left for no good reason. Essentially, I mean,
- 29:19Speaker 1: and I accept that, you know, those decisions were made
- 29:22Speaker 1: under a different police commissioner and there is a new
- 29:24Speaker 1: police commissioner now who said you can come back. But
- 29:27Speaker 1: really the new South Wales Police should be calling up
- 29:30Speaker 1: each of the people that were sacked because they didn't
- 29:33Speaker 1: take the vaccine and saying would you like to come
- 29:36Speaker 1: back to work. If so, will organize the medicals and
- 29:39Speaker 1: whatever to make sure you're up to speed. But they
- 29:41Speaker 1: shouldn't go and say, oh, well, you know, you come
- 29:43Speaker 1: and talk to us if you want to talk to us.
- 29:46Speaker 1: I think it should be incumbent upon the police force
- 29:48Speaker 1: to reach out to those people and say we're sorry.
- 29:50Speaker 3: You know a lot of time has elapsed, now what
- 29:52Speaker 3: can we do to get you back into the force.
- 29:54Speaker 3: That would be the fear and right thing to do.
- 29:57Speaker 4: I think, so desperate times call for desperate measures. They
- 30:00Speaker 4: got rid of all of these officers who didn't take
- 30:03Speaker 4: the COVID JAB bizarrely have kept this law up until recently,
- 30:06Speaker 4: which baffles me because COVID was a very very long
- 30:09Speaker 4: time ago, and now that they're in a recruitment crisis,
- 30:12Speaker 4: they say, oh please, we actually need your services, could
- 30:14Speaker 4: you come back. As of June, there were two thousand
- 30:17Speaker 4: vacancies in the police force. That is considered to be
- 30:20Speaker 4: a crisis is so bad in New South Wales that
- 30:23Speaker 4: the state government has just launched a recruitment blitz. It's
- 30:25Speaker 4: pouring about seventy million dollars into trying to get more
- 30:29Speaker 4: police recruits. You have had a great crop of officers
- 30:33Speaker 4: just sitting there idly by for how long now, for
- 30:35Speaker 4: four or five years, and they've been out of a
- 30:38Speaker 4: job because of what sheer stupidity. Why because they didn't
- 30:41Speaker 4: take a COVID JAB. Who the hell cares. Life has
- 30:44Speaker 4: gone on, We have moved on from the pandemic. If
- 30:47Speaker 4: I were these officers, I would give the force the
- 30:49Speaker 4: middle finger. I would say bugger the lot of you,
- 30:52Speaker 4: go and find other recruits. And I remember I've covered
- 30:55Speaker 4: this before quite a few times. A lot of these
- 30:59Speaker 4: was a lot of them were actually senior members of
- 31:01Speaker 4: the police force with a lot of experience, years and
- 31:04Speaker 4: years of policing experience. They could have been used for
- 31:08Speaker 4: so much that's going on, for crime and all sorts
- 31:10Speaker 4: that's going on in New South Wales. And it's just
- 31:13Speaker 4: really sad because I think when you enter the force,
- 31:15Speaker 4: you go to the force to serve your state. You
- 31:19Speaker 4: become is such an invaluable member of the state and
- 31:23Speaker 4: to be reduced to a figure just because you didn't
- 31:25Speaker 4: take a COVID jab is just the ultimate insult.
- 31:28Speaker 2: I should they weren't just sacked, they were sacked for
- 31:30Speaker 2: quote unquote severe misconduct.
- 31:33Speaker 4: That's just a pall how offensive.
- 31:36Speaker 1: Seriously, and of course, you know, being a copper is
- 31:38Speaker 1: a hard enough job as it is. You know, for
- 31:41Speaker 1: the pay you get, the stuff you have to endure,
- 31:43Speaker 1: and the people you have to deal with it, it's
- 31:45Speaker 1: a hard job. And so it's understandable that from time
- 31:48Speaker 1: to time a copper might have to go off and
- 31:51Speaker 1: talk to someone about the stuff they see. I mean,
- 31:54Speaker 1: you know, you imagine some of these people, particularly those
- 31:57Speaker 1: you know working in the areas of murder and family
- 32:01Speaker 1: violence and all this sort of stuff. I mean, they
- 32:03Speaker 1: would see more stuff in a year than you would
- 32:06Speaker 1: ever see in a lifetime, most likely stuff that you
- 32:09Speaker 1: don't want to see, and so they go off and
- 32:12Speaker 1: talk to someone about that, because you can imagine the
- 32:14Speaker 1: mental state that that would put some people in. Now,
- 32:16Speaker 1: in New South Wales and I'm sure across the country,
- 32:19Speaker 1: they have police chaplains which are available to a copper
- 32:23Speaker 1: if they want to go and have a chat. Now,
- 32:24Speaker 1: of course a chaplain is religiously affiliated. I'm sure there's
- 32:28Speaker 1: someone else you can go and talk to is not
- 32:30Speaker 1: religiously affiliated if you want to. But these people are volunteers,
- 32:34Speaker 1: right and they are there so police have someone to
- 32:37Speaker 1: talk to if they need to.
- 32:39Speaker 3: They can go and talk about their problems.
- 32:40Speaker 1: They can talk about the things that they've seen on
- 32:43Speaker 1: the beat, they can talk about heck, if they've got
- 32:45Speaker 1: something going on at home and it's affecting their ability
- 32:47Speaker 1: to come to work. They're meant to be a shoulder
- 32:50Speaker 1: to cry on, someone to go to for advice, and
- 32:53Speaker 1: these police chaplains volunteer their time to do this vital.
- 32:58Speaker 3: Role within the police force.
- 33:00Speaker 1: As of August twenty one in New South Wales, the
- 33:03Speaker 1: rules will be changed so that these police chaplains are
- 33:06Speaker 1: forced to disclose information to the police force.
- 33:11Speaker 3: Can you believe it?
- 33:12Speaker 1: So if you go off to have a confidential conversation
- 33:16Speaker 1: with someone about your state of mind, they would then
- 33:19Speaker 1: have to tell this to your boss.
- 33:21Speaker 3: So why would you bother going in the first place.
- 33:23Speaker 1: The Daily Telegraph reports, upon request, contracted chaplains will now
- 33:27Speaker 1: be required to disclose the full names of members who
- 33:30Speaker 1: have used the chaplaincy service. The new contracts also demanded
- 33:34Speaker 1: if a chaplain identifies any psychological distress, workplace conflict, trauma, exposure,
- 33:40Speaker 1: fitness for duty concerns, health conditions, or financial hardship, they
- 33:44Speaker 1: must provide relevant information to an officer's manager.
- 33:49Speaker 3: I mean this is you know, if you went and talked.
- 33:51Speaker 1: To a psychologist about your problems, you would hope that
- 33:55Speaker 1: they would not hand that stuff over, and indeed they're
- 33:58Speaker 1: not allowed to. The coppers now think that if you
- 34:01Speaker 1: go and talk to a volunteer who's there so that
- 34:05Speaker 1: you can talk to them about these things. They now
- 34:07Speaker 1: have the right to access all of this information. And
- 34:11Speaker 1: the chaplains have blown up about it.
- 34:12Speaker 3: As you can.
- 34:13Speaker 1: Imagine, Michael George has left. He doesn't want to do
- 34:15Speaker 1: it anymore. He says, it is designed, at worst to
- 34:18Speaker 1: remove police chaplaincy from the force through policies that would
- 34:22Speaker 1: limit chaplains to the point they would become ineffective in
- 34:25Speaker 1: their role. I was staggered to read this component of
- 34:27Speaker 1: the contract. In fact, this clause goes against every benefit
- 34:31Speaker 1: of having a chaplaincy service.
- 34:33Speaker 3: I mean, it just makes no sense at all. If
- 34:36Speaker 3: you go and talk to a.
- 34:38Speaker 1: Chaplain and say, look, you know I've been struggling mentally
- 34:41Speaker 1: a bit lately because I was working on this case.
- 34:43Speaker 1: Would's really affect me because it reminded me of something
- 34:46Speaker 1: that happened in my childhood or whatever it is. And
- 34:49Speaker 1: now they're meant to go off and tell your boss, oh, look,
- 34:51Speaker 1: you know he's struggling a little bit. That just breaks
- 34:56Speaker 1: all the rules of confidentiality and having someone to work
- 35:00Speaker 1: through these things.
- 35:01Speaker 2: So what will happen? So if I'm the struggling copper,
- 35:04Speaker 2: there's no way I'm talking to the chaplain because I'll
- 35:06Speaker 2: be put on desk duties or I'll be you know,
- 35:09Speaker 2: interrogated and perhaps put on suspended leave. Has my state
- 35:13Speaker 2: of mind changed, not a bit. It's just now instead
- 35:16Speaker 2: of talking to someone who may be able to offer
- 35:19Speaker 2: some perspective and some help. Now I'm just going to
- 35:21Speaker 2: suppress all the stuff, so I don't know. Maybe I'll
- 35:24Speaker 2: start drinking or something. But the problem remains. It's just
- 35:27Speaker 2: that now I'm not talking. It would seem like the
- 35:30Speaker 2: new South Wales police officionados would just rather the coppers
- 35:34Speaker 2: weren't talking about their problems at all. No, it will
- 35:37Speaker 2: least that's what will happen.
- 35:38Speaker 4: Great it will lead to PTSD, which is already a
- 35:40Speaker 4: problem for police officers given the nature of what they
- 35:43Speaker 4: see out in the field, but also for chaplains. Imagine
- 35:46Speaker 4: the crisis of confidence that they would feel that they
- 35:49Speaker 4: would have to divulge such information because I guess you
- 35:53Speaker 4: can talk to this. You take a vow or an
- 35:56Speaker 4: oath that you would keep this very secretive and be
- 35:59Speaker 4: able to offer for the advice and be a very
- 36:01Speaker 4: good ear to people who are struggling or just want
- 36:03Speaker 4: to have a chat, and then to be told no,
- 36:06Speaker 4: you have to divulge this information otherwise you will lose
- 36:09Speaker 4: your job, which goes against everything that they have taken
- 36:12Speaker 4: this oathen to do that is a real crisis of
- 36:15Speaker 4: confidence and would put I'm not surprised that they're they're
- 36:19Speaker 4: resigning and drove and.
- 36:20Speaker 2: We're not talking about you know, for copper devolves that
- 36:22Speaker 2: he's involved in the legal activity that chain of course,
- 36:26Speaker 2: but personal struggle terrible. Yeah, unconscionable that they would demand that.
- 36:33Speaker 2: So even if the chaplains didn't resign, I mean, they'd
- 36:36Speaker 2: be sitting in their office doing nothing because no police
- 36:39Speaker 2: officer is going to bother going to talk to them.
- 36:42Speaker 2: So you have it, all right, We're going to take
- 36:44Speaker 2: a break. When we come back, Well, look at what's
- 36:46Speaker 2: making news tomorrow, including Pauline Hanson's plan to stop ISIS
- 36:51Speaker 2: terrorists returning to Australia. That's next. Welcome back to the program.
- 37:03Speaker 2: Let's take a look at what's making headlines tomorrow. We'll
- 37:06Speaker 2: start with The Australian and an interesting inquiry to be
- 37:10Speaker 2: had in Victoria.
- 37:11Speaker 1: Caleb Deed it is his alp braces for Andrews's inquisition.
- 37:15Speaker 1: Danniel Andrews to center Allen Government ministers, political staff and
- 37:19Speaker 1: public servants overseeing Labour's corruption riddled mega road and rail
- 37:23Speaker 1: projects face being hauled before the Royal Commission ordered by
- 37:27Speaker 1: new Premier Ben Carroll, Victoria's Labour leader publicly committed on
- 37:30Speaker 1: his first full day in the top job to arm
- 37:33Speaker 1: the Royal Commission into the construction sector with quote unquote
- 37:36Speaker 1: exhaustive terms of reference to ensure the judicial inquiry could
- 37:41Speaker 1: reach beyond the CFMU and the Rogue Union's biking links
- 37:45Speaker 1: labour figures close to mister Carroll told The Australian there
- 37:48Speaker 1: was both an acknowledgment and support within the two day
- 37:51Speaker 1: old administration that the former premiers and minister's linked.
- 37:54Speaker 3: To the Big Build would not be shielded from this probe.
- 38:00Speaker 1: I mean, remember we were hoping that, you know, you
- 38:03Speaker 1: might get Daniel Andrews into a Royal Commission into COVID, right,
- 38:07Speaker 1: and we never got that. But maybe we could see
- 38:10Speaker 1: him up at a Royal Commission into a corruption on
- 38:13Speaker 1: the Big Bill. Wouldn't that be wouldn't that be a
- 38:15Speaker 1: nice moment to finally see him get grilled in public.
- 38:18Speaker 2: And of course we know what he will say, don't we.
- 38:21Speaker 2: I don't recall. I can't remember. I have no recollection
- 38:24Speaker 2: because we've done that little dance before. I forget who
- 38:28Speaker 2: it was earlier on News twenty four tonight, but I
- 38:32Speaker 2: heard someone talking earlier this evening about that I think
- 38:34Speaker 2: it was Lucy Zelich who was saying, if he's serious
- 38:37Speaker 2: about this inquiry, why would you not give it to
- 38:39Speaker 2: an independent body to draw up the terms of reference
- 38:42Speaker 2: rather than the Labor government deciding how the Labor government
- 38:45Speaker 2: will be investigating.
- 38:46Speaker 4: Well, this is I mean Ben Carroll trying to make
- 38:48Speaker 4: out like, look, I'm doing something about it. No, I
- 38:51Speaker 4: am not just into Alan. I'm not Daniel Andrews. As
- 38:54Speaker 4: we said last night. If he truly cared about this
- 38:56Speaker 4: Royal commissionhy didn't he push for it earlier while he
- 38:59Speaker 4: was still minister in both of their governments.
- 39:02Speaker 2: Indeed, just before we continue with the papers, some breaking news.
- 39:06Speaker 2: Donald Trump has responded to around surprise missile strikes that
- 39:09Speaker 2: took place this morning, reportedly aimed at a US base
- 39:13Speaker 2: in Jordan. Trump has gone on Fox News and or
- 39:17Speaker 2: has been reported rather by Fox News, and he's responding
- 39:20Speaker 2: not with missiles, but with some pretty strong words.
- 39:24Speaker 5: Have listen President Trump reacting to that Iranian attack on
- 39:28Speaker 5: US forces overnight in Jordan. President Trump tells Fox News
- 39:32Speaker 5: about Iran, we are going to beat the fings out
- 39:36Speaker 5: of them.
- 39:37Speaker 4: He went on to say, We'll be hitting them hard.
- 39:39Speaker 5: They're going to get a beating. So clearly the United
- 39:42Speaker 5: States is going to respond to what the President described
- 39:45Speaker 5: as a surprise attack. He says US forces had just
- 39:48Speaker 5: minutes to shoot down these incoming Iranian ballistic missiles. The
- 39:52Speaker 5: President says he has reviewed video of the shootdown, and
- 39:55Speaker 5: it was US forces conducting this operation to defend that area.
- 40:00Speaker 4: It was real time.
- 40:01Speaker 5: They were calling out coordinates and ensuring that none of
- 40:03Speaker 5: this incoming Iranian fire got through.
- 40:07Speaker 2: So there you go, Donald Trump threatening to beat the
- 40:09Speaker 2: fings out of the Iranians. You can work out what
- 40:12Speaker 2: F and s stands for. It's exciting, I guess, unless
- 40:18Speaker 2: you remember that in March he said they would knock
- 40:22Speaker 2: the crap out of the Iranians. In April he said
- 40:24Speaker 2: they would unleash hell. He also said in April they
- 40:26Speaker 2: would end the Iranian civilization. And he said just a
- 40:29Speaker 2: few weeks ago that he would knock the hell out
- 40:31Speaker 2: of iran Now he's going to beat the fings out
- 40:33Speaker 2: of them. Trump is like that parrot who says I'm
- 40:36Speaker 2: going to count the three, I'm going to count to five.
- 40:39Speaker 2: I'm going to count to ten if you do it
- 40:41Speaker 2: one more time. He doesn't carry through on these threats,
- 40:45Speaker 2: So what stock do you put in it?
- 40:47Speaker 1: And this is the thing that's been used before Tarka, Right,
- 40:51Speaker 1: Trump always chickens out, and unfortunately for him, I mean,
- 40:56Speaker 1: I think he's really reticent to do too much before
- 40:59Speaker 1: the mid term, so it's elongating the war from that perspective.
- 41:03Speaker 1: He's reticent to do anything that will really blow up
- 41:06Speaker 1: the global markets too much, particularly before the midterms, because
- 41:11Speaker 1: he's worried about that, which means he's basically sitting on
- 41:14Speaker 1: his hands for now. But the problem is that the
- 41:17Speaker 1: longer you sit on your hands, the less likely it
- 41:20Speaker 1: becomes that you actually achieve anything. You keep making these threats,
- 41:25Speaker 1: at some point you have to follow through on one
- 41:28Speaker 1: of them and actually show a bit of mut and
- 41:32Speaker 1: to this point it's just simply not happened.
- 41:34Speaker 4: Well, I mean, to be honest, that the toing and
- 41:36Speaker 4: throwing from Trump is getting It's given you, it's given
- 41:39Speaker 4: me whiplash. You know, every week it's I'm going to
- 41:43Speaker 4: bomb them, I'm going to do this. But he hasn't
- 41:45Speaker 4: followed through on not one of his threats. And we
- 41:48Speaker 4: know that unless the Iranian regime is killed, nothing will
- 41:52Speaker 4: ever change. And that's what the Iranians have said that
- 41:55Speaker 4: without the death of the regime there can never be
- 41:58Speaker 4: any sort of peace in Iran. So it's been going
- 42:02Speaker 4: on since February. It was meant to be a short
- 42:04Speaker 4: war and it's still going Nothing seems to be getting better,
- 42:08Speaker 4: nothing seems to be changing. We just keep hearing threats
- 42:11Speaker 4: from Donald Trump on a weekly basis. So which one
- 42:15Speaker 4: is it? And I understand now is in a pickle,
- 42:18Speaker 4: as you said, because of the midterms and the magabase
- 42:21Speaker 4: over there is very split by this. There are a
- 42:24Speaker 4: lot of Republicans very angry. So he is stuck between
- 42:28Speaker 4: a rock and a hard place. But you know, what
- 42:32Speaker 4: are you going to do about it? That's the question?
- 42:34Speaker 4: What are you going to do?
- 42:35Speaker 2: The threats are certainly not working.
- 42:37Speaker 4: They're not working.
- 42:38Speaker 2: Plot they're not that's for sure.
- 42:39Speaker 4: Iran knows this. That's the problem.
- 42:41Speaker 1: Let's get back into tomorrow's papers, shall we? On another
- 42:44Speaker 1: story on the front of the Oars tomorrow. Hanson's court
- 42:47Speaker 1: proof ISIS plan, says One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has
- 42:51Speaker 1: devised a new plan to ban Islamic State linked fighters
- 42:55Speaker 1: and terrorist sympathizers, strengthening bail laws for terror offenses and
- 42:59Speaker 1: introducing tougher passport blocking pars in a counter terror bill
- 43:03Speaker 1: the populist politician says will be high court proof in
- 43:06Speaker 1: what she will frame as the most detailed piece of
- 43:08Speaker 1: one nation policy since the party's ascendancy after the Bondi attack,
- 43:13Speaker 1: Senator Hanson has drafted a twenty two page Protecting Australians
- 43:17Speaker 1: from Foreign Terrorist Fighters Bill ahead of Parliament returning on
- 43:20Speaker 1: August eleven. The Australian can reveal Senator Hanson sent the
- 43:24Speaker 1: bill in a seventeen page explanatory memorandum to Cross benches
- 43:28Speaker 1: on Wednesday, alongside a note lamenting at the time that
- 43:31Speaker 1: Angus Taylor had not responded to the letter she sent
- 43:34Speaker 1: him last Thursday.
- 43:36Speaker 3: So there's a few interesting things in that.
- 43:38Speaker 1: One is that I think Pauline Hansen's realizing now that
- 43:42Speaker 1: they do have to start coming out with some ironclad policy.
- 43:45Speaker 1: You know, you go on their website, there are a
- 43:47Speaker 1: lot of policies there, but they're reasonably light on. You
- 43:51Speaker 1: have to start coming out with serious stuff if you
- 43:53Speaker 1: want to present as a party of government. But also
- 43:56Speaker 1: the fact that Angus Taylor's not contacted her since she
- 43:59Speaker 1: sent him that letter on Thursday.
- 44:02Speaker 3: How hard is it to pick up the phone? It
- 44:04Speaker 3: seems like a pretty simple thing to do, isn't it. Well.
- 44:06Speaker 2: I don't think Angus Taylor and Pauling Hanson have even
- 44:08Speaker 2: had a meeting since he assumed the leadership with the Coalition,
- 44:12Speaker 2: which is kind of hard to believe that. The big question, though,
- 44:15Speaker 2: is not Angus Taylor Pauling Hanson. The real question is
- 44:18Speaker 2: why is Pauline Hanson drafting legislation to stop ISIS fighters
- 44:22Speaker 2: returning to Australia. What's the government doing? Well? Tony Burke
- 44:26Speaker 2: should have been drafting legislation.
- 44:28Speaker 4: But he's got votes to protect.
- 44:30Speaker 2: Big game. Front page of Tomorrow's Herald's Son reads Ben
- 44:34Speaker 2: slams On breaks up to ten billion dollars of suburban
- 44:38Speaker 2: rail loop detail deals about to be inked or expected
- 44:41Speaker 2: to go on hold during a review that will also
- 44:44Speaker 2: assess whether existing contractors can be diverted to other infrastructure projects.
- 44:49Speaker 2: The Herald Son understands the radical options are likely to
- 44:52Speaker 2: be assessed as part of the review by the new
- 44:54Speaker 2: Carroll government, including whether tunneling deals already signed could be
- 45:00Speaker 2: the purpose. Now Ben Carroll, the new Victorian Premier, has
- 45:03Speaker 2: promised he will not break any existing contracts. And that's
- 45:07Speaker 2: an important promise because you remember Dan Andrews famously broke
- 45:11Speaker 2: the East West Link contract and the Commonwealth Games contract.
- 45:15Speaker 2: If you add just those two together, it's about one
- 45:18Speaker 2: point eight billion dollars the Victorians lost in broken contracts.
- 45:23Speaker 2: So instead, he says he will repurpose these deals. I
- 45:28Speaker 2: wonder if he's just bluffing until after the election and
- 45:30Speaker 2: then this will just disappear and he'll carry on.
- 45:32Speaker 3: Maybe so, but we.
- 45:34Speaker 2: Shall see, we shall after the break. They're calling it
- 45:38Speaker 2: the greatest scandal in cricket history. Now, even if you're
- 45:41Speaker 2: not a cricket fan, you want to hear what this
- 45:43Speaker 2: London cricket club did to try to trick umpires. It's
- 45:47Speaker 2: astonishing the length they went to. That's next, Welcome back
- 45:54Speaker 2: to the program. Danika, a brewery in the United States
- 45:57Speaker 2: has gotten themselves in trouble over Donald Trump.
- 45:59Speaker 4: Oh, yes have, and now it's time for.
- 46:05Speaker 1: The day.
- 46:08Speaker 4: Yes, how good is Karma? A brewery in Wisconsin that
- 46:11Speaker 4: was constantly putting up anti Trump rhetoric has been shut
- 46:16Speaker 4: down and has had its license asserving alcohol revoke. Would
- 46:19Speaker 4: you believe the monoc we Brewing Co's permit to operate
- 46:23Speaker 4: has been revoked. Sorry. It posts anti Trump social media posts,
- 46:32Speaker 4: including one promising a free beer promotion upon the death
- 46:35Speaker 4: of President Donald Trump. Well it's all over. Now. That's
- 46:38Speaker 4: what karma does, guys. Instant Karma's gonna get you, gonna
- 46:41Speaker 4: knock you right in the head.
- 46:42Speaker 2: I can't believe they thought that that would be appropriate
- 46:44Speaker 2: litt alone, that that would go without some sort of consequences.
- 46:49Speaker 4: Well that's what happens.
- 46:50Speaker 2: Promising to me.
- 46:51Speaker 3: Got him good and rightly.
- 46:53Speaker 1: So I think now you remember, top g you what
- 46:55Speaker 1: a great program was, you know, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond,
- 46:59Speaker 1: James they were just a fantastic thrapple. They were, well,
- 47:04Speaker 1: Richard Hammond of because the whole yees, sorry, it didn't
- 47:06Speaker 1: quite mean it like that anyway, And of course that
- 47:08Speaker 1: the whole program was about them driving around very fast
- 47:11Speaker 1: in cars, and Richard Hammond has kept doing it since
- 47:14Speaker 1: leaving the program, and then the Grand Tour that they
- 47:16Speaker 1: were doing on Amazon. It would seem because he's been
- 47:19Speaker 1: done for speeding twice in the last couple of weeks
- 47:22Speaker 1: over in the UK's been done in a Bentley and
- 47:25Speaker 1: in a Porsche and you can see.
- 47:27Speaker 3: Him behind the wheel there. I mean the poor bugger.
- 47:29Speaker 1: He got picked up doing sixty eight miles an hour
- 47:32Speaker 1: in a fifty mile an hour zone in a Porsche
- 47:34Speaker 1: tay Can Cross to Rismo in December two last year,
- 47:38Speaker 1: and then shortly after that was picked up for eighty
- 47:41Speaker 1: two miles an hour in a seventy mile an hour
- 47:43Speaker 1: zone in a Bentley Continental GT. And he's had to
- 47:46Speaker 1: go off to court in the last few days and
- 47:49Speaker 1: paid one thousand, seven hundred and seventy one pounds. But
- 47:52Speaker 1: we have obtained exclusive vision of the coppers when they
- 47:56Speaker 1: arrested him.
- 48:00Speaker 2: How bad.
- 48:02Speaker 3: You're all wrong?
- 48:08Speaker 2: It was such a great show, so do I? I
- 48:12Speaker 2: all right? A cricket team in England have been labeled
- 48:15Speaker 2: the greatest cheatahs in the game's four hundred year history.
- 48:19Speaker 2: The Saltburn Cricket Club Division two players developed a way
- 48:24Speaker 2: of tricking the umpire into giving batsmen out caught behind.
- 48:29Speaker 2: Will show you the vision and keep your eye on
- 48:31Speaker 2: the slips fielder who clicks his fingers as the ball
- 48:35Speaker 2: passes bat to make the umpire think that the ball
- 48:38Speaker 2: has been sneaked and to give the batsman out. Now
- 48:54Speaker 2: there's numbers of these clips going viral on the Internet
- 48:57Speaker 2: and they appear to show the batsman missing the ball
- 49:00Speaker 2: but the umpire being tricked into thinking it was out
- 49:03Speaker 2: because he heard a noise as ball passed bat. The
- 49:06Speaker 2: Saltburn Cricket Club is currently top of the table, would
- 49:09Speaker 2: you believe it? And the wicket keeper has taken a
- 49:12Speaker 2: league high thirty one catches, which is ten more than
- 49:16Speaker 2: any other wicket keeper in the league. In one game,
- 49:18Speaker 2: he took eight catches in a single game. How many
- 49:22Speaker 2: of them were actually out?
- 49:24Speaker 3: Who knows?
- 49:25Speaker 4: How terrible?
- 49:26Speaker 3: How did no one ever think of this before?
- 49:28Speaker 4: That's what I was eight?
- 49:30Speaker 2: Did you say eight catches in one game?
- 49:32Speaker 4: Eight catches in one game? Wouldn't somebody go, that's an
- 49:35Speaker 4: unusually high number.
- 49:36Speaker 2: And he was boasting to his friends. He said, you know,
