I 6 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,240 Speaker 1: just started, Hey, what these twenty ideas for twenty twenty 7 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,920 Speaker 1: and it went from there because I'm interested in painting 8 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:26,120 Speaker 1: a vision of possibility for the future of our country 9 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: rather than a vision of fear for the future of 10 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 1: our country. 11 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 2: Was that an election is going to get called any second. 12 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,199 Speaker 1: And I kind of would like the idea of, like, 13 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,560 Speaker 1: at least practicing to hear what it sounds like hearing 14 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: talking possibility and ideas that might be useful to lots 15 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: of people, not just vested interest groups, just so we 16 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: maybe can have an idea of what we'd. 17 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 2: Like to hear from the people that are going to 18 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 2: be pitching forever. 19 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:52,879 Speaker 1: Because someone asked me this the other day, I did 20 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: a podcast about it January twenty sixth, and we had 21 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: Brook Blurton and many mills on and people writing on 22 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 1: the Instagram, and I'm like, look, I love my country. 23 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: I love my country so much. I do not want 24 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: to leave my country. I would never leave my country. 25 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: I would do anything for my country. But I can 26 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,760 Speaker 1: love this country and want bits of it to be better. 27 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: You're allowed to love heaps of it, but not love 28 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: parts of it. It's not an all or nothing thing. 29 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: And that's what this show today, and all of these 30 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 1: shows are about. 31 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 2: So we've got the final five ideas. 32 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,559 Speaker 1: If you haven't caught the first twenty, you can scroll 33 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: back and grab them, but we've got the final five 34 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,199 Speaker 1: coming up back after the break. 35 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 2: Good thanks for listening to the show. This is better 36 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 2: than yesterday. 37 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: I'm making it better every single week since twenty thirteen. 38 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 2: My name's Roshiginsberg. I'm very very glad you're here. 39 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,839 Speaker 1: Thank you so much for coming along to Story Club 40 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 1: last night at the Factory Theater in Marryingville. We have 41 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: another show the Factory Theater on the night that March. 42 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: The tickets are on sale right now. Put that link 43 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: in the show notes. Let's get on with the final 44 00:01:55,240 --> 00:02:00,559 Speaker 1: edition of twenty five ideas for twenty twenty five, Number 45 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: twenty one, and this is Bertin and considering there's an 46 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: election about to be called any second, in South Australia, 47 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: they have truth in political advertising laws. Let's take those 48 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:15,359 Speaker 1: laws and make them national. Now why is this important? 49 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 1: Because they've been incredibly effective. They'm been in place for 50 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: about forty years or so. But why Look, if I 51 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: run a vitamin company, I can't promise that my supplement 52 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: will make you live to one hundred. 53 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 2: I can't do that. 54 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: If I own a car company, I'm not allowed to 55 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: say this car that you buy from me is never 56 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: ever going to break down. Ever, nothing will ever go 57 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: wrong with it. If I'm a real estate agent, I 58 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,959 Speaker 1: can't sell your house going in five years this is 59 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: going to double in value. Sign here, I can't do that, 60 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 1: all right, there's laws against that. However, under the current 61 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 1: Electoral Act in Australia, politicians face no restrictions on making 62 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:53,799 Speaker 1: false claims about policy, whether it's their policy or their 63 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: opponent's policy. In South Australia, if you make an unsubstantiated 64 00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: claim in a political ad a you get a whopping 65 00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 1: for and worse. 66 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 2: And I do love this one. 67 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: If you win an election based on something that you 68 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 1: made up, So you have a three word slogan and 69 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 1: you win an election on that, and then it's found 70 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: to be well, that's not really true. The election can 71 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: be declared invalid and I'm pretty sure you have to 72 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: pay for it to be run again, which means that 73 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 1: for politics in South Australia, what this means is that 74 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: the politics in South Australia is actually pretty boring, fittingly 75 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,959 Speaker 1: in a minutes Adelaide. But there's a lot less hyperbolic 76 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: fearmongering and more actual chat about policy. It does tend 77 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: to tone down more extreme kinds of rhetoric which we 78 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: hear generally on a federal level about immigrants swamping Australia 79 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: or those guys you vote for, those guys they want 80 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: to have a trans librarian in every school that's going 81 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: to secretly change your kid's gender, well your at work. 82 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: Like neither of those things are true, but that's the 83 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: kind of shit we hear and it's not true, but 84 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: there's no law against it in Australia right now on 85 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: a federal level. So in South Australia, what they do 86 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: instead they tend to focus on actual differences in policy, 87 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: so you actually have to say, look, my policy says this, 88 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: but their policy says that. There's the facts, and it's 89 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: left to the voter to make up their mind. You can't, 90 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: for example, say my nuclear power plan is better than 91 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: what those guys want and then not be able to 92 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: prove it. So no, you can't do that. It also 93 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: does not a perfect job. It's very difficult to a 94 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: perfect job. It does a very pretty good job protecting 95 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: against misinformation and disinformation as well. And there's only five 96 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 1: people that takes to put, you know, to run this 97 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: whole thing. There's not a bad price to pay to 98 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 1: give people more trust in government. Look, I saw nineteen 99 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: ninety come and go and there's still children in Australia 100 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: living in poverty. That was a big claim the Bob 101 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 1: walk made and the boats didn't stop. We just perhaps 102 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: didn't write about them in the newspapers so much, all right, 103 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 1: So you can't just fucking lie to win an electure. 104 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,160 Speaker 1: And the South Australian Law has proved that while that the 105 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: main politics a little less exciting, it actually puts a 106 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: lot less polarization in the parliament. It's a much more 107 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: balanced parliament and the policies actually help a lot more 108 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 1: people in the community because they actually they can't be 109 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: driven to the edges. They have to be factual, and 110 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,919 Speaker 1: I'm not alone. In a recent study, eighty seven percent 111 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: of Australians want these laws to be national. It's been 112 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,919 Speaker 1: getting pushed to be changed before the next federal election, 113 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: but I really doubt that is going to happen. But hey, 114 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 1: we can only dream. Twenty five ITEA is for twenty 115 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: twenty five. Idea number twenty two. Let's save all of 116 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 1: us a lot of time and teach the basics of 117 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 1: stoic philosophy to kindergarten kids. Wolfe our youngest, he's five. 118 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: He started Big Score last week. And look, I'm not 119 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: his teacher. I'm not a kindergarten teacher. I'd be more 120 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: than happy to volunteer and you know, have a chat 121 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: with them. Probably I don't go something like that. 122 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 2: Good morning, everybody. 123 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,159 Speaker 1: My name is Asher, but Wolfgang over there, he calls 124 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: me Dad. I've been asked to speak to you today 125 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: about some people called stoics who hang on. I ask you, 126 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: guys a question. Do you like superheroes? What's something that 127 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: a superhero could wear? A mask very good, very good? Goggles, yes, 128 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: a cape very good. I'm going to talk to you 129 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: today about some real superheroes lived a long time ago 130 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 1: that were very brave, very wise, and we know that 131 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:28,039 Speaker 1: were superheroes because they actually did wear capes. Now, a 132 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 1: group of superheroes often has a name. What are some 133 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: names of superhero groups? Like a bunch of them are together, 134 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: Justice League, very good, Avengers nice. So yet when they 135 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: have together, they will have a name. These group of 136 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: superheroes were called the Stoics. Now what was their superpowers? Well, 137 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,919 Speaker 1: what's good news for you, guys. You've already got these superpowers. 138 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: Let me tell you about them. Imagine you're at the beach, 139 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: all right, you have built the most amazing zandgars e 140 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 1: ever and then a big wave comes and bush, you see, 141 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: castle is gone. 142 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 2: Now that can make us feel pretty sad. 143 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, but here's the magical secret that these very wise 144 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: people taught us. And it starts with a question, what 145 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: part of what has just happened? Can we control? Can 146 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: we control how strong the sand is? Can we control 147 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: the ocean? Can we control how we think about what happened? Yeah? 148 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 2: Yeah we can. 149 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: We can think, oh, the ocean destroyed my sand castle, 150 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: the ocean hates me, I hate the beach, I'm never 151 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: coming here again. Or we can sit here and take 152 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: a breath and still if it's okay to feel sad, 153 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: but we can also think, well, no sand castle ever 154 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: built is still standing. Ever, every sand castle eventually just 155 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: becomes beach again. That was a great one. I am 156 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: sad it's gone because I really liked it, But I'm 157 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: going to move a little higher up and start building 158 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: another one. Every time a tough thing happens, it's kind 159 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: of like we're in superhero training. We are learning and 160 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: getting stronger at using these powers. When you're learning to 161 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: ride a bike, you're probably going to fall. 162 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 2: It's probably going to. 163 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: Hurt, but riding a bike is something you really want, 164 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: so you get back up, you have another go, and 165 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: every time you get up you get stronger, you get 166 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: better at it. Soon enough, it's something that you can 167 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: do quite easily. 168 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 2: Now. 169 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: These wise people said the difficult moments, what they do 170 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,239 Speaker 1: is they make us stronger, and they make our hearts braver. 171 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: They also taught us about the strongest superpower of all, 172 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: and that is being kind. Even when someone's not being 173 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: nice to us, we can reach into that box of 174 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: powers and choose to be kind anyway, because when we 175 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 1: do that, it's like having a special light a glow inside. 176 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: It's like Iron Man, right, but no one can ever 177 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: turn that light off, and that keeps us warm and 178 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: keeps us feeling good. I'm going to guess the chances 179 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: are that something between now and bedtime today you might 180 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: get a bit upset at So if that does happen, 181 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: just remember today you learned about the superpowers that you 182 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: were born with. 183 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 2: Because you're actually warm. 184 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: On superpowers, all of you, you can maybe give those 185 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 1: superpowers to try. Thanks for listening your legends, Wolfe. I'll 186 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 1: see you after school. 187 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 2: Just that. Just do that. 188 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:11,439 Speaker 1: See what happens, all right. Twenty five ideas for twenty 189 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: twenty five. Number twenty three end fossil fuel subsidies. This 190 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:23,439 Speaker 1: podcast is a business, all right. It's a business. I 191 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,079 Speaker 1: make money selling ads. I pay people, you know, it's 192 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: a business. I pay people to help me make it. 193 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: It's a business. But let's say I'm running my business 194 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 1: very poorly. Additionally, I'm making a product that was once 195 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: very useful but has since been proven categorically to be 196 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 1: catastrophically dangerous to all of humanity. In addition to this, 197 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 1: there are other podcasts which are just as useful, ones 198 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: that we don't have to invent, and they in fact 199 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: are not threatening life on Earth as we know it. 200 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,560 Speaker 1: So I've got a dangerous product and there's a clear 201 00:09:55,679 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: and safe alternative that is just as useful as way cheaper. Now, 202 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 1: do you let the market run its course and put 203 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,719 Speaker 1: my podcast eventually goes out of business because I've got 204 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: poor ratings and I can't get advertisers, and therefore I 205 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 1: can't afford to make it anymore because it's such. 206 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 2: A dangerous thing. 207 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: Or do you subsidize my podcast and artificially make my 208 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 1: business like it's way more profitable than it is, allowing 209 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: me to keep making a thing which brings an existential 210 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 1: threat to the only blob of rock and ice in 211 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: air that we know about in the universe which can 212 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: support life. If you answered subsidies to the tune of 213 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: over twenty seven thousand dollars for every minute of every 214 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: day of the year, you'd be doing exactly what the 215 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: Australian government's doing. We spend more on subsidies of fossil 216 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,839 Speaker 1: fuel companies in Australia then we spend on the army 217 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 1: or the Air Force. The social license for doing such 218 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 1: a thing has got to be revoked. End fossil fuel 219 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: subsidies and let's find something else to do without fourteen 220 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: billion dollars. You know, maybe we could speak and other 221 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: stuff like educational healthcare snacks. 222 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 2: I don't know. 223 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: We've got to take a break spicking and making money. 224 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: I've got to play some mats back in a moment. 225 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: This is twenty five ideas for twenty twenty five. We've 226 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: got two left to go. Idea number twenty four. Stop 227 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: fucking around and build a goddamn ballert train. Here it 228 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: is Newcastle, Central Coast, Parramatta, Sydney, Campbelltown, Goldman, Canberra. While 229 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: Aubrey Shepard and Craigieburn Melbourne boom Our Airlines are not 230 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: going to give up control of the pricing between quantisan version. Nah, 231 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 1: it's not going to happen. I mean you saw what 232 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: happened to Rex. 233 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 2: Nah. 234 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: You put that high speed railing, I mean like super 235 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 1: high speed rail that's three hundred klmeter an hour. One 236 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: That changes everything, all right. It changes housing, It changes 237 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: where people can live and work. It changes the way 238 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: that we get food, or it changes the way we 239 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: get medicines. Around to change the dominance of the airlines, 240 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 1: it's cleaner there's less emissions. Oh, there's less traffic. We 241 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: don't have to maintain highways as much. It's safer for everybody. 242 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 1: If you've been to Japan or the Netherlands, you know 243 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: what it feels like. You get on it, maybe parts 244 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: of Europe. You know, you're in the middle of a city. 245 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:21,959 Speaker 1: You get to a train station in the center of 246 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,959 Speaker 1: a city. You catch a train that goes three hundred 247 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: kilometers an hour for an hour. You get out at 248 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,679 Speaker 1: a little kind of side side station. You take out 249 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: your little folding bike, You ride a kilometer out of 250 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: the way, and now you're in a farm and you've 251 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: three hundred ks away from down. And then the next 252 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: morning you get a buck on your little folding bike. 253 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: You ride back to the station. City like, come on, man, exists, 254 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,559 Speaker 1: we don't need to invent it. Let's get it on. 255 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: Number twenty five is the final one. That's another stop 256 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 1: fucking around, right, stop fucking around and start building climate 257 00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 1: resilience infrastructure. In North Queensland all right, was bridges out though, 258 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 1: bruce highways out. People have flooded.

What about migrants? 260 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: If things become so untenable there that is too expensive 261 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 1: to rebuild. All the time, you were about to get 262 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 1: very familiar with the particular point of view and way 263 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: of life that occurs in the tropics. My mate who 264 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 1: lives in Townsville, she's great. She bought her house about 265 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 1: one hundred and forty k, but her insurance is twenty 266 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 1: four thousand dollars a year.
