  Speaker 4: there's your answer.
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: It is a brand new netball week for us.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: It was great to see on the Facebook page, the
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: notable Facebook page.
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: If you're not on it, get on it. Come on.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: So many people with their final series afoot at the
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: moment and games being played everywhere around the country.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Do you know what else? I saw though? A team
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: that had the easter bunny and center.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: She's gone with a fast five team, which I thought
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: was brilliant, and she's put an elfit center, which I
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: think is true.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Now want to more pressing things. You had your grand
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: final last week.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: I had my Grand final last week. I had my
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: entire season last week. Walked to us Saturday.
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: It was great.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: I had a really great time and I got to
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: meet quite a few dribblers, which was really nice. So
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: thank you very much for coming. Those of you who
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: did are thanks to you for coming on Thursday night
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: and putting your aure in on a couple of occasions,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: which was hilarious. But no, it was great. I'm exhausted yesterday.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: I was just walking around like a zombie.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: But it was great.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: It was the best, the best one hour show season
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: I've ever done, and it ticked all the boxes. I
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: wanted to be well organized, I wanted to give myself
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: a chance to write it well. Every time I've ever
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: done a one hour show, I get about two days out.
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: And go, oh my god, I don't have time. What
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: am I going to do? How do I cover up this?
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, it was great. It was a very satisfying experience.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: You were fantastic. I loved it. And do you know
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: I'm gobsmacked that you could keep everyone's attention for an hour.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: That's a bloody long time. I was thinking about it
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: driving there. How you hold people attention and you're also
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: got to be funny for the whole hour. It was fantastic.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: It went so quick. I said to my girlfriend on
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: the way out, how fast did that go?
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: That's good?
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Real, Yeah, there's nothing worse than sitting there thinking are
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: we done with him?
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: When people start looking at their watching like, oh, Caroline,
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: I'm interested. One of the things a great anecdote that
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: I read about Billy Connolly was that before his best
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: shows he would say to his wife Pamela, Pala, Pamela.
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: He wishes Pamela Stephen.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, right, so and she she wrote autobiography of him,
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: and for those of you who don't know Billy Connley,
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: it's a fantastic comic. And the more panickedy was before
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: a show about how crap the show was going to
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: be and how he didn't have a show and he
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: didn't know what to do, the better it would be.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: And I saw that in the two thousand Olympics. I
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: was working over nights for Channel seven and Roy and
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: h She remember when they did Olympic Games and I
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: would be in hair and makeup when they were in
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: hair and makeup, and the more panics they were about
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: the fact they didn't have a which was most sights,
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: the better the show would It was like the adrenaline.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: You balance that between being prepared but needing that adrenaline heat, Like,
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: does that work for you?
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: So I think someone like Billy Connolly has a lifetime
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: more comedy experience than I do, and.
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: So I like to be well prepared.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: But you also have to leave space in the room
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: for what happens in the room, because so much of
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: comedy is created between the comedian and the audience.
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: If you go out there and just.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Recite a script of funny stuff, that's fine, but it's
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: not that great for an experience for the audience. The
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: audience needs to feel like they're part of the creation
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: of it, so you need to leave some space there
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: for that to happen, for things to go wrong, or
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: to allow for the interjections and the like. So for me,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: it's a balance between being prepared, knowing I've got some
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: good stuff, and knowing when you need to give the audience,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Like I need to build the audience up in the
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: beginning so they are laughing, because people will stay quiet
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: until they know everyone else is laughing, even if they're
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: really enjoying the show. So you've got to give them
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: some big stuff up front, and then you can start
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: to go a little bit. I guess off reservation with
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: the stuff.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: When Katherine and I met you, you were like a
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: corporate beast.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: You're working in PR and communications and sponsorship, and I
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: mean we thought you were funny. We always whenever I'd
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: said in Matthew when I first met here, Oh Carolyn, Yeah.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: My funny little friend.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: So I want to know, like, how do you make
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: the decision to go from You know, you were quite
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: senior at Vodaphone and then at Coca Colas, So what
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: on earth made you go I'm going to pursue a
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: career as a writer and a comedian. And how hard
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: was that?
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: I'd always been doing the writing, and it was almost
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: I think I was spun out of the corporate world
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: I had. I had quite a bad experience. I was
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: working with a guy and we just couldn't make it work.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: And then I ended up walking out one day and
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: never going back. And I was quite bruised from that.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: And so that's when I left the corporate world and
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: started to look at how I was doing my work.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: And then I started to work from I was working
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: from home long before COVID made it popular, So you know,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: quite the early adopter there and yeah, but it was
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: mostly I was working on the novel for a long time,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: and there's no feedback loop.
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: When you're writing a novel.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: You just have to wait until you know, ten years
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: later or however long it takes you to write the thing,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: and hopefully someone will publish it, and then someone might go,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: I read your book.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: That was good.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I needed something sort of to feed the
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: beast a little bit more. So I think it was.
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: It's a bit bit sad.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Actually, I got to I was turning fifty and I
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: realized I've lost two friends. I lost a friend at
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: thirteen and I lost another one at thirty seven, and
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: I thought I've had more than the two of them combined,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: and what am I doing here? So it was just okay,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: I'm always thought I might give stand up, Ago went
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: and did a five minute set. Never need to do
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: that again, And then a year later thought might dry
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: that again, And then the next day wake up and went,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: all right, that's it.
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: I'm in this.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Why after the first time you decide never going to
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: do that again?
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Because I just wanted to see if I could do it.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: I wanted to I want to actually do it. Yeah,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: I just wanted to try it. I wanted to see
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: if I could do it without choking. I thought, I
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: don't know if I'm funny, but I can be well prepared,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: which is.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: What were you funny? Though? It was, I'm laughing.
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: It's fine.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: So for a five minute comedy set, you need to
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: be getting a laugh about every twelve seconds.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Oh my cure, that's exhausting.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: But what I did was I had a long story
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: that was entertaining and it had a big payoff at
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: the end with the laugh. But it's that's structurally wrong
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: for five minutes. So I did an okay job. It
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: was fine, it was good, no one was bored. I
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: didn't disgrace myself, but I didn't understand the process of comedy.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: So if you want to do a longer story, it
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: needs to be part of a longer set. But five minutes,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: you've got to have him laughing within the first fifteen seconds.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: You are in inspiration, though were you are like, it's
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: a massive leap to take, And then I'm sitting here
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: now thinking that I'm actually on my career path that
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: I want to be on. But who knows, Elizabeth, what
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: are you going to do when you have your mid
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: life crisis.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: I've had a number of mid laughs.
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: What do you want to be when you?
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: Why did I?
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: We have doctor Carl Critchinski on the project the other night,
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: and his career is amazing.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: It's just released a book and.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: Or something, yeah, forty seventh actually, but it's the first
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: time he's written about himself and he's going to really
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: fascinating life.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: Like his mum was a survivor of als Schwitz, and
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: she never.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: Told him that until it was much older, Like she
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: told him that she was Russian, I think, and a
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: different age, and then he found out she was Polish.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: And do his stemy kids by saying what are you
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: going to be? When your grap he knows what they're
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: going to be when that girl. Like, I'm fifty one
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: and I don't know what I'm going to do for
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: the next twenty years. I want to do something, but
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: I don't quite know.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: Podcasting, yeah, amaze.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: So much.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: Talking, Yeah, talking to my friends. Yeah, I could make
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: it pay. It'd be fantastic. So like I think, I
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: do think it's really interesting. I think taking the leap
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: and the other thing is about comedy. It's a very
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: masculine sort of like sport. It's traditionally very masculine. So
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: how do you go like the female comedians?
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: Do you all stick together? Do you support each other?
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Well, she's little, but she packs a punch, don't worry
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: about that.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: It is an amazingly supportive comedy community. I can only
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: really speak for the Sydney comedy community, but the women
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: are very supportive of one another. But the blokes are
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: also great too. And I think maybe because I'm a
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: bit older coming into this, I don't mind. I mean,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: I dislike in principle that if I'm the only female
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: on a lineup, because it's like, I'm sorry, can we
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: try harder? I know there's a lot of very funny
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: female comedians, but I don't feel alienated or out of
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: the ground, maybe because I don't expect to be part
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: of the group anyway, because they're mostly in their twenties
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: and thirties and I'm clearly older. So it's like, well, look,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: as long as you're nice to me, I'm not trying
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: to score or even you know, form a gang here.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: So maybe I don't have the expectations, but I don't
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: feel on the outer even when I'm just on a
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: lineup with all blokes because there's decent blokes.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: The show was awesome, though suitable employment. It's funny because
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: I was thinking the whole way through some of the
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: best and the worst jobs you've had them, And you
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: talk about, you know, the tricks to have up your
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: sleeve and when you're going for jobs and stuff. But
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: what was one of the worst ones you had? We've
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: had a few of the funny ones. Yeah, so the
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: back of the car and stuff like that. Sorry, with
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: superstars and in the.
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: Back of the car.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's when I had Dominic purcell there sitting in
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: my son's films. So I was an elfin the Maya Center.
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: The fan.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Really hated that job, so I don't even have to
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: touch it. But you could have then doubled up as
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: the center in the in the Past five that's right,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: at hel Mac's Past five.
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: That's right, would have been perfect for me. What's the
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: worst job you've ever had?
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: I had some shut up. Listen to her laughing already.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: The uniform wasn't good. Is that what you're thinking of? Yeah,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: it was actually the best job in the world. I
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: worked at durro Lee.
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: Oh did you have the big boat.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I had the big boat. It was the
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: days where they had the smock with your candy, games
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: and liquide all sorts with the dirty, big pink bow.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: So yes, that was an ideal.
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: Did you know her then, Liz?
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, she used to come to training the six foot
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: two long with the big pig boat.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: With a bag full of goodies.
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: And I'm sorry, per.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: It was the best job in the world though, So
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: anything that we couldn't fit into the packaging you got
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: to take home nice and so I would take loot
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: galorder training and walking and the guys are like, what
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: do you go? What do you got? I'm like, yeah, hi, guys,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: it's good to see you.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: We didn't do any games at you, but we we
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: hung out of our dresses. But god, we had lots.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Of good We were sat bastards and we were funny.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Darryl Lee's chocolate and prawn pasta before every day.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: What was yours? Liz?
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: Oh god? I was a checkout chick for years.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: I started at a supermarket in western Sydney and the
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: manager there used to come into the lunch room before
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: shifts and just put his hand on the girl's knees.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: I would not stand for that.
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: And I was only young, so I would always leave
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: when he walked in the room, and he hated me.
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: And so back in the day we used to like
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: when you were the last person employee, you'd have to
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: stay on the register for the whole time.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: And this isn't back in the days.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: Where you know, what do I call scanners, Oh, there's
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: no scanners. And but even before that, there was like
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: no conveyor belt, right, so you had to go trolley
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: to trolley, so you had to pick a carton of
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: milk up, call the price three six in nine and
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: put it into the keyboard and go trolley to trolley, right.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: So it was that part of the job was horrible.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: And but as more people got employed after you, you
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: could move up and eventually.
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: You could go and pack shells and things that wouldn't
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: have to put customers through. But because this manager hated it,
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: because I wouldn't sit in the luth room when he
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: wanted to come and you know, be discussing, dirty old bastard,
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: he used to make me stay on the on the
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: registers all the time.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: That was his punishment for me.
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: So I absolutely hated it, and I remember got like
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: I got three dollars eighty an hour or something.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: But it absolutely gave me so much ambition.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: I was like, right, I'm going to go to university
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: and have a job where I never have to do
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: this job ever again. Obviously things are different now and
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: people have farm more comprested their workplaced rights. But when
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: I think about it, it was a horrible place to work.
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: I hated it, and I hated having to dodge his
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: old sleeves band.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Make his skin crawled.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: He used to make us call him misstail. I won't say.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: His last name was Smith, mister Smith, who went like
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: he just had this real dick. I don't want to
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: think about this.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: This is a good therapy session for you.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: A little near the chat, when I got my very
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: first corporate job, I wasn't allowed to wear trousers. It
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: was you had to wear a skirt and panty hose
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: and high heels. You could only wear trousers if it
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: was part of a pants suit.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: Well do you know?
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: So you know there used to be so Obviously that
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: job at the supermarket spured me on, and I became
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: a lawyer. And the further I was at I remember
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: one of the litigators telling me once that there was
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: a judge, an older judge, and if a woman like
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: a barrister or a lawyer stood up to speak before
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: him in the courtroom and they had pants on his say,
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: I can't see you.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Are you serious.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: This wasn't that long ago. This was early two thousand.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Oh my god, justice will not be done anyway.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so there you go. Hopefully things have changed.
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: But my god, you know, there's a reason I'm not
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: a lawyer anymore, no reason I don't work in supermarkets anymore.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: I love the story about what it was though that
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: tipped you over the edge to leaving law because of
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: all the things tell all them.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: So yeah, so, like I was a lawyer for about
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: five years, and I did think that I was going
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: to make partner and captain the Australian netball team. It
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: turns out that that Vin diagram with those two things,
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: they don't overlap, They bump into each other and repel
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: because there's no time enough time to do bath.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: And obviously we all know which one went out.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: And so I've been working for a firm that I
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: still have a lot of great friends, and they really
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: they looked after me but I just realized it wasn't
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: for me. And I was working with this partner who
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: I bloody adored, I loved him. But we went to
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: this well acting for this government entity and there was
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: looking like there was going to be some litigation, and
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: we went to brief a barrister. So if you're a solicitor,
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: you actually don't in a corporate case. You brief embarrasster
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: and they give you your expert advice and if it
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: goes to court, they'll do the representation in court.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: So we goes sit with this.
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: Barrister in chambers and we're talking about the advice is
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: going to give us, and he was looking through the
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: contract and he goes, right.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: So, you know what, I'm really excited about where this.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: Comment is is really going to make all the difference
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: for us, because if it was there and I drafted
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: the contract right, if it was there, that would be bad.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: But the comma is here and that could be very good.
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: And I sat there and I thought, so it was
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: a comma that made me go, you know what? And
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: I was so I knew the difference right because in
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: my network career, I would dot every iron cross, every
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: t is Catherine new like I was really driven that
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: everything had to be perfect.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, it worked.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: But then in my legal career, I just didn't have
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: the same drive to get everything as perfect. And I thought,
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: that's not fair of the clients. And then I thought
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: I had to finish and I went to draft some
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: advice and my partner said to me, every time you
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: draft your advice, I check my insurance.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: I thought, right, it's time to go.
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: The performance review, isn't it?
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: It is?
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: And he was like he was.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: I adored him.
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: Sadly he's passed away, and you know, I just adored him.
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: But he was telling me that it wasn't and he
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: was right. I think I had I kept on being
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: a lawyer, I don't think I would have been happy,
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: and I wouldn't you know.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: I made the decision to leave, and it was a
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: good one.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Liz, the liability, I will say, though, you have maintained
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: a punctuation focus throughout the rest of your life, haven't you.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: That's one of the reasons I knew what could be friends.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: So there was other exciting stuff on the weekend, though.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: The Murray Little Shield was on.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: So the Murray Little Shield is for players with intellectual disabilities.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: It's the National Championships and it was held in Brisbane.
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: It's actually been going since twenty thirteen, so this must
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: be what the twelfth time it's been played.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: I don't know about COVID, but yeah, so's. It's pretty amazing.
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: And most associations have a team that plays in the
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: regular comp for plays with intellectual disability. And I remember
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: playing when I was a kid in the Hawksbury Association
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: and the club was called the Blue Jays and.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah right.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: So you know, in Balina we have the same thing
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: and I think they might play in DIV one and
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: it's fantastic. And I saw a little bit about the
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: netball Austra CEO Stacey West was up there and she
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: sent me through a little clip and it was so
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: beautiful and absolutely encapsulates so much of what our sport
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: is about. So she videoed this goal shooter shooting and
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: she shot and when it went in she did the
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: coolest little hit wiggle dad and then and then the
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: goalkeeper turned around and gave her a high.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: Five and they were just laughing. I was like, it
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: was awesome. I'll see Stacy, will let me put it
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: up on our Facebook basice.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: I looked at it and I just got tearious. I thought,
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: this is just amazing. So I think New South Wales one,
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: so congratulations.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: And we beat Victoria too.
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: Can we just just get that in they were last year.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: We're talking about last year. We're talking about.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: We would take all the wins that we can get. Right.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: So there's a couple of really cool things.
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: In September that are happening in this like you know,
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: in the space that we often don't see, so the
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: Murray Little Shield. And then this week the National Indigenous
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: Championships kickoff in Melbourne as well. It's the first time
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: that tournament has been held and every state and territory
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: is putting in a team.
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: Fantastic.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: Alie Tucker Munro, who's the first Nations lead, has done
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: a work in that regard, so it's so exciting and yeah,
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: so I'm looking forward to this weekend. Last weekend in
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: Brisbane was just amazing. So congrats to New South Wales
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: and congrats to everyone who turned up.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: It's just a really great tournament.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: And it's so good to see our sport putting resources
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: and committing to things like this, right.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: Because we often talked about super Netbun and the Diamonds, and.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: That's obviously the show, the showcase of the sport, but
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: that also means that we can do other things in
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: other areas that are really important as well.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: Well done everybody involved, so good.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: That was a good news story of the weekend.
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: The bad news story is that my netball team lost
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: our semi final.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, how were they? Did they care?
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, than ten minutes and move on to oh.
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: They had like they sat down and they were really
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: they My daughter in particularly sadly she's I'm not a
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: good loser, and neither is she, so she had tears
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: in her eyes. And it was really hard, right because
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: they put so much effort in and we had a
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: really good training session and we'd beaten this team last time,
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: but this other team just turned up and they were
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: better on the day. So you know, I just said
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: to them, put that little feeling of hurt and horribleness
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: and a jar, and we're going to get those jars
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: out the side of next year and have a look
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: at them and have a sniff and see how bad.
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: We're going to roll around in our disappointment and use.
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: It right now, and we're going to just use that
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: dispair us on. So we had a little celebration last night,
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: and they're really good kids, and I'm so disappointed for them,
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: but you know that happens.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: All good life lessons, winning and losing heart.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: Yep, character building.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Hey, absolutely, So you're likely to get the same team
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: back next year, Yes.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: I am.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: So are you going again? Coach?
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: Oh? Yeah, totally?
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Are you? Do you want to? I would love to
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: not be going out.
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: I know you want to. Oh no, I you love it?
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: No, when they listen to me one day, I will
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: be all for it. But do you do it because
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: you love it or because they all want you? There
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: a bit of both.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: A bit of column, A bit of column.
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: Be I do love it, right, and I love I
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: actually think really deeply about this team and about how
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: responsible I am for their netball journey, right because I
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: feel like this sport has given me so much, so
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: I want to make sure that I give them all
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: the good things that the sport can. So there's obviously
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: the physical literacy and I don't want to play skills.
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: Oh I think so I yell a bit, which will
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: surprise no one. But I also, you know the things
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: that they learned from playing netball, teamwork, camaraderie, communication, leadership, resilience,
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: and that resilience got tested yesterday. So they're all kids
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: who Evelyn was at primary school with just about and
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: now they've all dispersed to different high schools, so they
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: all want to stay together. And it's so important because
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: we're sort of touched on this when we spoke to
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: Jess Row.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: If you're in a sports team of kids who aren't
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: your high school, when.
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: Things go pear shape a high school, as they inevitably
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: do for just about everybody, there's this little safe group
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: of people who most of them aren't your high school.
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: So for two or three of them, they're at the
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: same high school, but like they've got this cocoon on
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: a Saturday. And you know, for my daughter, she turns up,
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: she umpires two games. Next year she'll probably coach juniors
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: and then she plays, so it's all encompassing on a
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: Saturday and takes them away from any other you know,
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: horribleness or confusion or whatever's happening at high school. I mean,
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: you know, for most of the kids, they're pretty happy,
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: but when if something bad does happen, they've got this
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: beautiful safe space. So I like them all being together.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: And I play in a.
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: Country association, right, I coach in the country association, so
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: we can keep our teams largely together.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: What about you, Carolyn.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: It'll all get thrown up in the air again. I
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: may get some of these girls. Yeah, I've had some
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: of them a couple of years now, but a lot
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: of them first times, and I might not see them
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: again next year. There's we've got four teams in the
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: age group, and I like that. I was having this
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: exact conversation yesterday at our presentation day with some parents
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: who've got a daughter in a younger age group, and
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: I said, even in primary school, those friendship groups can
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: wax some way because they've got a one school team
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: and they want to keep it that way. They don't
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: want to go into gradings. The girls are getting to
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: an age where they have to do gradings and they
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: don't want to do that. They just want to stay
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: together as a social team. And I said, I get that,
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: but you know the advantage is that they have these
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: external friendships.
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: And then you think about it.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: If you lose one of those girls and they have
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: to get someone in from another school, you've got one
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: kid there from a different school and all these other
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: kids who've been playing together all the time. So actually
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: the sort of shaking it up every year is quite a.
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: Nice thing for them. It freshens it up for them.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: And it is a community club, not a school club,
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: so they should be playing with people from around the community.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: But yeah, and you know, it's just horses for courses
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: for us. It just suits us to do it that way.
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: And there's not a lot of other we don't have,
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: you know, your association, there's a lot of kids in
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: your age group, but our association is not a huge
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: amount of kids. So yeah, and so we've got this,
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: you know, got our own beautiful little community, So that's good.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: I'm surprised you're not sucked into coaching more teams too.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: Though.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: She'd be amazing. She can coach all of the teams.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: No, no, And you know, I actually don't even get
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: us so and I don't want to do reps or
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: anything like that because my daughter plays and I want
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: to be able to watch her. And they need a
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: different voice, right, no matter how much I've played netball
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: and whatever sort of coaching, and they need someone different, right,
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: They can't they don't be listening to me for Club
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: an Red. So anyway, and my daughter's bloody do and
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: rap everything. At the moment she got selected in the
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: Far North Coast team to go and play red rugby
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: scene so fantastic, like if we go to another state champs.
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: But yeah, and coaching one team, Catherine is enough for me.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: M hm sing it, sister.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: You'll be coaching again next year as they get older
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: because they'll listen to you more.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you will, Catherine.
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: So the funny thing is, Matthew, my husband started coaching Austin,
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: our son in under eights rugby this year, and like
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: we would go to training, we'd all come back home
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: and I would be like really pumped because we worked
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: on rotating a circle and doing stuff like you know,
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: really it's good tactical stuff. He's so frustrated because he'd
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: go to training with all of these ideas and coaching
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: eight year olds is just hurting cats, trying to stop
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: them chasing sparkly things and you know, stop them doing cartwheels,
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: and come home so frustrated. And I was like, oh,
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: thank god, I'm not coaching as anymore. I've done my
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: penance there, So Catherine, it will get better.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Good pleased to hear that. No, I know it will,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: but Harper desperately wants me to keep coaching, so I
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: can't really not.
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: You have to and do you know what, it actually
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: gives you a good insight into what's going on in
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: their friendship, which.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: And do you know what is the only reason, to
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: be fair, I'm well one of them that I'm doing
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: it is because I remember you saying that to me,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: and that they like, they really do trust you, and
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: they talk to you about things that they might not
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: and the group, you know, you can see what their
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: little friends are like and the way they behave together
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: and all that sort of stuff. It has been really
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: interesting and I'm glad I've been a part of that.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: So yes, thank you Elizabeth for your advice. It's always
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: good when there's another friend or a mum that's a
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: few stages ahead of you with this stuff, isn't there
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: can prepare?
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: And you know, the best conversations we have are driving
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: to and from sport, right. And my rule is that
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: you can't have your phone in your hand in the car.
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: If I'm driving you somewhere, You've got to talk to me,
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: Which does evilyent's head in sometimes but like you get
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: the best conversations, and you know, a conversation that starts
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: out of as what do you.
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: Think of training?
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: Like what didn't you like can become a conversation about
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: so many other things.
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: So you're investing in your kids.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: So I wanted to talk about something that I saw
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: in the press this week. It was in the City
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Morning Herald and it was this thing with certainly in
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: New South Wales, that public primary schools are dropping out
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: of the regular Friday sport and they are moving more
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: to a gala day model, so rather doing weekly sport
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: because of the cost of buses in getting kids to
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: and from and also the requirement for there to be
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: a number of teaching stuff, enough teaching staff left back
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: at the school and those who are supervising the kids.
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: So the expenses on some of the schools are meaning
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: that the.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: Schools are tending towards not participating in the weekly round
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: robin sport with the local schools and instead running gala
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: days on a couple of days each term. And I thought,
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: I know two women who I'd like to hear their
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: opinions on this matter. I also have some opinions.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know what our school does, but so not
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: talking about sports day where they go and they wear
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: their uniform and they go and do sport with the
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: pe teacher.
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: Talking about the interschool sports.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: In New South Wales it's called p doublesa Public schools
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: Sporting Associations or something, and they go and they'll you know,
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: there's eight schools in the district or.
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: Whatever, and they go around and they will play.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: Certainly for netball, my daughter plays netball for the school
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: and they play at the same place every week, but
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: they do need a bust. Yeah, so this is about
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: the weekly sport where they're playing against other schools. So
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: in New South Wales, the public school it's P DOUBLESA,
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: which I think is public schools Sporting association, so where
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: they each it happens on a Friday afternoon in our instance,
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: and certainly our school is still participating. But you know,
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: it's a public school in a fairly affluent area with
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: a very engaged parent community, which means that there is
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: a lot of fundraising done for the P and C,
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: which allows the school to make some choices. So I
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: think what we're seeing is that in other areas, particularly
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: where people more financially stressed and then don't have the
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: time to contribute to the p and C and the like,
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: that this fundraising can't be done, and so's they're changing
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: to this gala day model for the sport rather than
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: the weekly sport.
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: My daughter goes, or my son now, and my daughter did,
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: but they went to a public primary school up in
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: the country and we didn't have flight out from the
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: sport where they went off and played against other schools.
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: Everything was done as a gala day and it never
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: occurred to me that schools in Sydney were doing it
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: another way. Do you find that it takes like are
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: they out a school for half a day or an afternoon?
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: And yeah, like do you lose time in traffic and
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: travel getting to the other schools?
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Look, I would assume so. Certainly in the case of
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: most of the sports at primary school, they'd get played
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: at the one spot, so they'd go to the same
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: spot every week. So when my daughter was playing softball,
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: they were just it was walking distance down to the
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: field that they were playing it and the other schools
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: would come there. But yeah, they must lose time in
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: traffic and then it's like she's in the in the bees,
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: and the bees play after the a's, but they have
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: to be there in time for the a's to warm up,
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: and then the bees watch the a's, and then the
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: a's watch the b So it is the whole It's
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: virtually half the day gone every Friday.
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: So yeah, that is time time that could have been
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: spent in the reading and writing and arithmetic.
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: Well look who knows, right, So our schools up here
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: things are gala day. But even in the Catholic school system,
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: my daughter's in an AFL nine's gala day today, So everything
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: he's done in gala days, I think, because sometimes kids
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: just have to travel so far to get to places
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: that you can't do it in an afternoon.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: And so how many gala days would you be talking about,
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: say a month, I'm gonna be honest.
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: When Evelyn was in year six, she might have had
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: the whole school year, I reckon she probably had twenty
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: five percent when she was at school for the full
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: week five days in a row, because every other week
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: she was off doing a gala day like she did
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: all the sports she rugby, netball, soccer, AFL.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: I reckon, ye six is a bit of a gap
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: year though, Isn't it like they's just stop learning.
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: It's like we're on our way out of here.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: It's all right, let's just let's just hope that we
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: can get them out the door without breaking any of them.
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so I think they all just kick it into
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: neutral and coast at home. So, but like it happens
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: a bit, and it's even happening at high school. But
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: I just think they're up here. It's just really in
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: a much more efficient way to do it. And yeah,
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: they miss more time at school, so they miss a
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: full day rather than the whole school having a sports
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: day here and there. But it probably just allows the
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: kids who are interested in it to do it, and
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: the kids who aren't interested in it, well, they don't
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: have to do it.
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: So the gala days happen on a school.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: Day, yeah, totally, yep.
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and then the kids who are interested going, the
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: kids who aren't interested stay, but.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: They'd still have a pe lesson as well throughout the week.
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, they're Wow.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: So that's a lot, isn't it.
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a dream. I'm going to go back to
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: year six again. I can't do it all again.
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: But I read that article Carolyn, and I thought, oh, wow,
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: that's really bad. I can't believe that's happening. And then
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: I stopped and thought, I, oh, actually, what they're moving
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: to is the same model that we have up here,
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: which I know I probably need to teach you to
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: tell me if they think it's good or bad.
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: It certainly worked for my kids.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: That was certainly my response to I read it and went,
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: this is a disaster for everyone, and then sort of
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: having this conversation with you and understanding that about what
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: happens at the country schools. But it's sort of like,
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: you know, if you if there is a disadvantage to
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: the gala day model, and that occurs if you're in
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: a regional school, you have other advantages of living in
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: a regional environment, sort of like what are the advantages
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: in living in the city if we're starting to take
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: this stuff away.
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: So but anyway, that's as you say.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: Maybe we should ask an expert, get a teacher to
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: tell us.
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: I will say.
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: The thing that struck me about that article was that
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: someone mentioned that for kids whose parents are separated, who
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: go for one parent sometimes and then one parent the
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: other times, it's really hard sometimes to organize Saturday sport
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: around that. So you know, I was like, Okay, that's
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: a perspective that I don't have, but it's a perspective
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: that needs to be taken.
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: Into account because that would affect kids.
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: Who a significant number of children.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I mean it's not even Saturday sport because
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: that is difficult obviously speaking from experience there, but it's anything.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: If you know, Halfa mentioned doing gymnastics on a Friday afternoon,
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: I don't also have every second Friday afternoon, so how
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: does that work out? So it is it's a challenge
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: to try and organize for sure.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: And I think the issue one of the things they
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: really dialed up in this article is the sort of
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: public school private school divide and that the private schools
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: are being able to invest more and more in these
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: incredible sporting facilities.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: And the examples though, were next level, weren't they. They
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: were talking about some of the biggest, most expensive schools
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: in Sydney.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: But it's interesting to see that translating at the Olympics.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: At the so for instance rowing, you know, most of
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: the medals are won by people who have been to
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: private schools because those are the schools that have the
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: rowing programs, and so you know, again it's sort of
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: like it's very easy to get hysterical with the headline
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: and the way it's presented, and of course I did,
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: because you know, I.
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: Do what I'm told.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: But yeah, the more the more you delve into it,
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: you go, this is much more complex than that looks.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: But there is actually a push, I think, for private
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: schools to be opening their facilities up more to the
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: community and these sporting facilities. So maybe that's something that
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: this will get behind that push more.
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I felt like, actually that article conflated two
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: very separate issues. One was sort of a trap and
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: infrastructure sort of issue around getting kids to them from
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: sport every week, and the other one was a facilities
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: issue at separate schools.
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: Right, so at private schools.
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: So and I thought that was interesting though, And like
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: in rowing, rowing has always been a private school sport,
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: so you're always going to get you know, your rowing
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: gold medals or medals coming from kids who've gone to
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: private schools. But there is an increasing privatization, like increasing
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: number of athletes who all went to private schools. And
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: I don't know what comes first to chicken or the
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: egg right, Are they good athletes because they go to
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: private schools or do they go to private schools because
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: they get the good athletes and they get they get
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: scholarships or whatever to go.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I don't know.
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: I think that's probably a completely separate issue that you'd
• 33:41
  Speaker 6: like to see address because you know, you want to
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: make sure that kids who go to public schools have
• 33:45
  Speaker 6: all of the ability to be able to achieve what
• 33:48
  Speaker 6: they want to achieve, and that's to do with funding
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: as well.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: So we are getting very close to test season Netble
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: Test season. The Diamonds and the Roses first up in
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: three test matches and then we had the Constellation Cup
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: the Diamonds versus the Silver Fern in four test matches
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: around this country.
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: So the Diamonds are gathering in camp now.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they have been in and I think they'll go
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: home for a bit and then they'll go back into camp.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: So they'll do that a few times I think in
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: the lead up, depending on how much time they've got.
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: So what do they do? What's camp?
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: Well, it depends because our day camp was not fun
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: and one of the first things you'd do would be
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: having a mask on exactly you'd have a team meeting,
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: and they'd give you a sheet with the schedule and
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: you'd stick that on the room. And if you're staying
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: at there is and B in our dorm or whatever
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: you call them, you'd stick it on the wall. And
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: we would always put a big strapping taste strapping tape
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: easy for me to say, smiley face next to it,
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: and we would recite I love netball, I love netball,
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: I love netball. Well, we looked at this schedule, but
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: the first thing we did every time we got home
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: from a session is cross it off, because we would
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: do at least three courtwork sessions a day.
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: This is a day when normal plumber was the coach, right, yeah,
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: that's not allowed to before that yetmore they're only allowed
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: to be on court once a day now, oh what Yeah,
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: because it.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: Was too much. So we were doing three sessions. We'd
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: do one in the morning, one after lunch, and match
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: play or something after dinner. So we were getting flaws.
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: Yes, I don't know what's worth so Catherine, like they used,
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: we used to get flogged. But at least the past,
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: the time was now they have meetings, so many meetings,
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: it's my understanding, and that would I mean, that's why
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: I don't love me.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: And what happens in the meetings. Why do they talk
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: about it's around you'll be asked to put this bib on.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: It'll be culture, it'll be I don't know, expectations. They
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: probably do video analysis, all that sort of stuff, So
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: they would they do They do more weight sessions, I'd
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: think now on the bad as well, so instead of
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: doing a court work session, they not might do a
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: conditioning session or a weight session or something different. But
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: you just can't be on court a couple of times
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: a days.
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: The probably far more scientific and technical and easy.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: Really, three a day seems a lot and one a
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: day doesn't seem a lot. I mean, I don't know
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: if only there was some happy compromise between three and one.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: Stacy for advice if you need it.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. It was tough, but it was It
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: was always an exciting time. Having said that was always
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: an exciting time because you knew the internationals were coming up.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: You got to be with all your mates from other
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: teams you wouldn't talk to all season. But I must
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: say every time we did get on that bus, we
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: flew into camera, got on the bus and headed to
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: the I felt nauseous.
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: And you know when I first made the Australian team,
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: I was roaming with Shelley O'Donnell on a like my
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: first domestic tour, and I was like, oh man, all
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: this training and she has not the worst thing about
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: it is a week before the test matches because all
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: you do is train, and then once the test matches start,
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: you come off your training a lot and it's just
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: play travel, light training, play, and so all you're singing
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: for is for the games to start. But I'll tell
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: you when in my last year with Plumbing, the lead
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: up to that World Cup, we would have we went
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: through the last few months. We would have a five
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: day training camp and we're on court three times a day,
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: and then we'd have a week off and then we'd
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: come back into camp for a five day training camp.
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: And when I went into.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: Labor and we weren't drinking either, we.
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: Weren't drinking that's right, and so we could ever get
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: to the end and have a beer or a wine
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: to celebrate we got through. But when I went into
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: labor with Evelyn, I remember telling myself, if I can
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: warmer on session three of the day five.
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: For a normal plumber training camp, I could give back.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: One hundred and it was literally, wasn't it. The first
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: few steps you're like, oh, but I knew.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: I knew that my labor would be over quicker than
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: the five day training camp, so I knew I could
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: do it well.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: In hope it did.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: So when you first come together, you've got people from
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: other teams who you've been competing against. Is there a
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: like airing of the grievances that needs to occur before
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: you can transfer from your supernetble or Commonwealth Bank trophy mindset.
• 38:06
  Speaker 5: Into where all now one team?
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: Or do things just get left unseid and left on
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: the court pretty.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: Much unseid, isn't It's generally just just a catch up,
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: and you always want to hear, you know, if they
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: had beaten you in a Grand final or something, what
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: did you do? How did you celebrate? What awas you
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: mad Monday like the victim's always good for a bit
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: of that and the phoenix back in the day, But no,
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: it was just good to be able to see them
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: on a level that you could have quality time with
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: these people, because otherwise your ship's passing in the night.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: You don't go and have a chat when you're about
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: to play them in the game Supernetple.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: The Dribblers of Australia would like to hear a little
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: bit more dirt than that. I mean, it's like, oh no,
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: everyone's really sweet.
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: Come on, Oh no, no, it wasn't it that everyone
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: was really sweet. It's just that the things that unite
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: you are greater than the things that divide you. Right,
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: So you might get on the court and cool to
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: smash each other in It's why She's the Cat, But
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: you might get on court and like, go really thank
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: you to stop talking and listening.
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: It's happened.
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: So you might go really hard liking your super Netball teams.
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: But the moment you come together like you've got another
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: common enemy. It's England or Jamaica or New Zealand. Right,
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: so you can't afford to sort of get too hung
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: up on what's happened in super Netball. You've actually now
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: got to turn your focus to playing for your countries.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: But don't worry. We did bitch about them, yeah, England
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: and South Africa and New Zealand in particular, didn't we.
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: She's a beach.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: That girl turns out iron and like very.
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: Nice as humans you'll ever meet.
• 39:39

  Speaker 2: That we do every week, and that is to acknowledge
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: those people out in the community who keep our game
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: going at the community level. I was delighted yesterday to
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: be able to present mel Cullen with her Scrunchy in person,
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: and I had Andrew, who nominated.
• 41:14
  Speaker 5: Her, also there. But that's a video pop up on
• 41:16
  Speaker 5: the socials.
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: On this she cry.
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: No, she didn't cry, but it was clearly she said
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: she cried when she heard the nomination.
• 41:23
  Speaker 5: So she she told me to wear I No, she
• 41:26
  Speaker 5: worried all afternoon. But she told me that she had
• 41:29
  Speaker 5: had a really, really.
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: Disappointing week at work and she put the podcast on
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: and she was just about to turn it off because
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: she'd arrived at home or the office wherever she was
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: on the way to and then she heard Andrew and
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: it meant something to her. And so everybody, Dribblers, you've
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: got to get nominating. Now, remember the rules are you
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: can only nominate one person. We have a double nomination
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: today and so that's a bit tricky, but we've had
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: a policy meeting on this. There's one scrunchy coming the
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: way of two ledgend and you guys are going.
• 42:01
  Speaker 5: To have to work out how to share it. But Cat,
• 42:03
  Speaker 5: do you want to read it?
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: No?
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: Oh, haven't got my glasses?
• 42:06
  Speaker 5: Okay, do you wear glasses? Okay?
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: So this is from a good friend of the podcast, Kate,
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: and I don't know how to is it?
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: Yo?
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: What?
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: I don't know how to pronounce your surname, Kate. I'm sorry.
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: Heydribled is happy to send a voice message, but can't
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: find how to do so. Now this has been a
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: I'm going to do another little video that we put
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: up so you can find out how to do it.
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: My nomination for win Beneath our Wings is two women,
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: Liz Upton and Carmel Right. I've known these ladies for
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: over twenty five years as stallwarts of the white Horse
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: Netball Association umpires and conveners. They've also volunteered for Kestrels,
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: Vixen's Collingwood and now Mavericks seamlessly managing back of house
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: for all these clubs over that whole time. They are
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: endlessly positive, supportive, kind and hard working netballing Whitehorse and
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: in Victoria would not be as successful without these two women.
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: And white Horse has produced two Vixen stars, Alyssa McLoud
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: and Kate Eddie. So these women are ugly important. So
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: we would like to say that Liz Upton and Carmel Right.

• 43:06
