WEBVTT - The Late Debate | 26 August 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:00.480 Lately. 0:00:02.400 --> 0:00:04.800 Welcome well late de Bay. 0:00:07.760 --> 0:00:09.479 It's great to have your company on the Late Debate. 0:00:09.560 --> 0:00:12.360 I'm James Macpherson with Liz Storer and Caleb Bond back 0:00:12.360 --> 0:00:13.960 from holidays caleeb Ah. 0:00:14.000 --> 0:00:16.320 It's good to be back with the family. 0:00:16.400 --> 0:00:18.880 Ah. You know they say you can't pick them, Well 0:00:18.920 --> 0:00:20.400 I did pick these ones and. 0:00:20.400 --> 0:00:23.720 It is well. We're glad to have you back with us. 0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:27.400 Coming up Sunshine Coast fishermen film a great white shark 0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:30.760 attacking their tinny. Will show you that incredible footage a 0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:33.239 little later. Plus, when we get to the papers, you 0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:37.000 won't believe the cost of Canberra's new sporting stadium and 0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:41.680 Green's deputy lead at Marine Feruki to investigate anti semitism. 0:00:41.800 --> 0:00:43.960 All of that when we look at the papers, But 0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:46.839 you would have heard of meals on wheels. We'll get 0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:51.880 ready for meals on wings as drone delivery services take 0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:55.960 off around Australia now. Drone delivery services have been trialed 0:00:56.000 --> 0:00:59.800 in this country since twenty nineteen in the Act in Queensland, 0:00:59.800 --> 0:01:03.720 New South Wales and now in Victoria, delivering everything from 0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:06.240 coffee to agricultural equipment. 0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:09.119 Once the issue of black spots. 0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:11.399 Has been sorted out, because you don't want drones losing 0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:14.800 connectivity and dropping from the sky with your coffee. 0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:17.520 The Civil Aviation Authority. 0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:21.320 Reckons that there will be a massive upsurge in drone deliveries. 0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:26.320 They're predicting sixty million drone delivery flights a year by 0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:31.640 twenty forty three. Jesse Suskan he's a drone delivery service 0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:35.360 manager from Wing Aviation. He told The Guardian that it's 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:39.160 going to become popular because the slowest part is generally 0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:42.160 the preparation and loading. But once it's on the drone, 0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:44.720 whether it's your coffee or your sandwich or whatever, it's 0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:46.480 usually to you within minutes. 0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:48.840 We don't have to stop for red lights, he said. 0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:51.960 Up to ten kilometers and back in urban and suburban 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:54.760 areas is what we focus on. So when you run 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:57.000 out of milk, when you run out of children's panadole, 0:01:57.280 --> 0:02:00.000 it's the convenience of being able to send those things 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:02.720 by drone instead of having to drive back to the 0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:06.720 shops through peak hour traffic. Now, he explained, not only 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:10.320 will drone delivery services be convenient for customers, but they're 0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:13.959 highly efficient for delivery services. He went on to tell 0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:17.800 The Guardian where a business would previously need fifty cars 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:21.160 and fifty drivers to deliver fifty cheeseburger orders. 0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:25.359 You can deliver them by drone with just one pilot. 0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:29.679 Now, the pilot simply overseas fifty drones in the air 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:33.080 at one time, so it's incredibly efficient. And here's a 0:02:33.080 --> 0:03:08.440 little bit of what it looks like. Sadly, that music 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:10.680 doesn't come with the drone delivery. They sound more like 0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:14.360 a swarm of bees, unfortunately, but you would have seen that, Liz. 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:16.600 They're taking off from the top of a shopping center. 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:20.160 So retailers simply bring their goods up to the roof. 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:23.320 It's connected to a drone fly. It doesn't land in 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:26.400 your backyard. It hobbs about eight meters above the ground. 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:29.760 It simply lowers the product down gently onto the grass, 0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:31.000 and there's your coffee or whatever. 0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:32.200 Do you like this or do you hate this? 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:33.040 Look? 0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:37.080 It makes a lot of sense. Employers are always going 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:40.480 to love technology replacing people. It's a lot cheaper. You 0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:43.440 don't have to worry about HR or health and safety, 0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:47.960 a one off payment for a piece of technology that 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:51.720 is never going to be requiring a salary, asking to 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:55.480 take leave, asking for a raise. Technology works around the 0:03:55.520 --> 0:04:00.240 clock for free technically. But what I just can't believe 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:04.240 with the speed in which we're implementing technology in ways 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:09.120 like this is people are making people more redundant. 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:12.520 By the day, Like what an own goal. 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:15.720 I just don't understand where we're supposed to head. 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:18.640 Where are people supposed to go. 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:21.839 Once we have the driverless cars, we talk about the 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:25.880 self service checkouts, that's one thing. It hasn't exactly taken 0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:29.760 over by storm, but it's nearly almost everywhere. Then we've 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:34.440 got the storefronts closing, whether it's banks closing their outlets 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:39.360 or just normal retail stores going. Actually it's cheaper for 0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:44.080 us if you just shop online. Banks go online, banking 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:47.640 ATMs everyone. We're just going to close more and more 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:50.880 of our stores. It's way, way cheaper for them. But 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:54.640 nobody's answering the obvious question that at the end of 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:57.880 the day we're going to be talking about millions of redundancies. 0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:00.560 Where are these people supposed to go? Oh, how are 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:03.760 they supposed to provide for their families? That's when my 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:04.520 concern lies. 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:06.680 Listening to that music, I thought I was back in 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:09.880 far North Queensland, where I've just been relaxing on the 0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:12.360 beaches I've been doing for the last. 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:12.760 Week or so. 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:16.040 It kind of reminds me of that scene in Back 0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:19.360 to the Future where doctor Emmitt Brown fires up the 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:23.040 Dolore and he says rules where we're going, we don't 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:26.800 need rules. And the question for me is, as you say, 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:30.839 is with all this automated technology that we are increasingly developing, 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:36.120 a product like this relies on someone buying something, right, 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:38.360 You've got to buy the food or the coffee. 0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:41.080 By the way, what the hell are you doing having 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:44.400 a coffee delivered to you via drone? 0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:48.000 I have heard no joke of people having cups of 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:50.120 tea delivered to their house. 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:52.760 Like if you can't get up and walk. 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:54.680 Down to the shop, so getting your car to go 0:05:54.800 --> 0:06:00.040 and buy some bloody tea bags cat. I know some 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:03.160 times you might have hungover on a Sunday morning or whatever, 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:04.840 and you don't really want to get out of bed, 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:07.360 but it is the height of ridiculousness if you are 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:10.320 having coffee or tea delivered to your house. 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:12.160 But this relies on. 0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:14.880 Someone being able to pay for the products. So if 0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:18.839 we keep taking away jobs that mean people can earn money, 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:21.279 then who's going to be left to buy the bloody 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:24.440 product that you've developed in the first place. Because it's 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:26.440 much like you know, in the US we talk about 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:30.159 the rust belt areas that used to rely heavily on 0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:33.479 manufacturing for jobs and then those jobs all disappeared with 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:36.440 local manufacturing, and a lot of those people have never 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:37.720 gained other jobs. 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:40.080 And we're going to have And I don't like. 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:43.440 Using the term low skilled, but that is generally what 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:46.960 we refer to things like delivery or retail or whatever, 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:49.080 as it's not something you need to have a tertiary 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:52.280 qualification in order to do. And they're the sort of 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:55.359 jobs that people do while they're at university and the 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:57.360 sort of jobs that people do when they're a new 0:06:57.440 --> 0:07:01.000 migrant to the country and they don't necessarily have qualification. 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:04.600 Yet it's those people who will eventually be done out 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:06.520 of a job, and what are they going to do? 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:06.800 Then? 0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:09.720 Are we just going to have people sitting around with 0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:13.000 nothing to do? Because the only jobs that will be left, 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:15.720 which are the jobs sort of creating this technology and 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:19.840 running this technology, will be ones that actually require a 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:21.360 level of qualification. 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:23.080 So what are you going to do for an entry 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:24.040 level job anymore? 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:24.280 Yeah? 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:27.680 Will you receive your universal wage provided by the Greens, 0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:29.720 You'll do nothing and you'll be happy, you Kayleber. 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:31.080 You mentioned the US. 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:35.640 They've been trialing these drone delivery services in Texas and 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:39.760 they're working perfectly. The problem has been people complaining that 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:44.360 it sounds like chainsaws flying over their neighborhood from eight in. 0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:47.600 The morning until ten night night. Yeah, so that's been 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:48.080 the challenge. 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:51.200 Amazon and the Amazon drones are amazing and what they 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:54.920 can deliver, but they're now working on trying to make 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:58.600 their drones a lot quieter to avoid upsetting neighbors. 0:07:58.640 --> 0:07:59.840 Well, you mentioned the Greens. 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:03.480 They are someone who will be thrilled by this implementation 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:07.760 because of me. It means way less emissions, way less 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:12.560 cars on the road, all those delivery drivers suber eats. 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:15.920 This is another quote from Jesse Suskin at Wing. He said, 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:19.600 we're a business would previously need fifty cars and fifty 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:24.040 drivers to deliver fifty cheeseburger orders. To deliver them by 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:29.600 drone requires just one pilot. In this article, they were 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:32.280 talking to a pilot who was like, yeah, I'm responsible 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:35.520 for fifty drones at any one point in time. So 0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:41.520 again you're talking about replacing those fifty drivers and those 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:44.920 fifty cars on the road with one dude sitting in 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:48.320 front of some sort of computer tracking the weather, making 0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:51.439 sure the drones are going to be Okay, what are 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:54.840 people supposed to do for work. 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:56.600 To the war on free speech? 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:57.080 Now? 0:08:57.160 --> 0:09:02.319 It is ever raging. The founder of Telegram, which you 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:04.439 may not have heard of. It's an end to end 0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:10.000 encryption app. It's actually got nine hundred million users worldwide 0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:13.840 because people like the privacy, they like the secrecy it affords, 0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:17.720 and why shouldn't they. Well, it's founder, his name is 0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:23.600 Pavel Durov, has just been detained at France airport. He 0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:26.960 pulled in and his private jet another day another dollar 0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:28.199 and did not. 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:30.000 Get to leave the airport. 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:36.120 He is detained accused of criminal use of his app Telegram. 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:43.080 Charges include terrorism, narcotics, trafficking, and fraud. Of course, to 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:47.440 any thinking person watching this, you just go this is 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:51.040 another crackdown on freedom of speech. They always tell us 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:54.199 that they're cracking the whip on Elon Musk and others 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:59.600 who are massive free speech defenders because they won't censor 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:03.880 their platform, and they always come at it from the 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:08.199 perspective of safety. Remember our e Safety Commissioner going after 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:13.160 Elon mus demanding that e sensor free speech. He refused, 0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:17.920 so has Pavel Durroff. So one wonders are these two 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:22.080 things connected. Telegram put out a statement saying Durov has 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:27.360 nothing to hide and travels frequently in Europe. A Telegram 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:31.360 abides by EU laws, including the Digital Services Act. Its 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:36.840 moderation is within industry standards. It is absurd to claim 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:41.640 that a platform or its owner are responsible for abuse 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:46.920 of that platform. A tweet from Elon Muss reads free 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:50.840 Pavel with a link to attacker Carlson interview that Pavel 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:53.760 did with him in April of this year. It went 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:58.160 for an hour. The entire thing was incredibly fascinating. But 0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:01.640 here's a little bit of something he had to say 0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:07.040 about just how insistent governments and intel agencies have been 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:10.520 trying to gain access to users. 0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:10.760 Of his app. 0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:16.000 Last time I was in the US, I brought an 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:20.160 engineer that is working for Telegram, and there was an 0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:25.480 attempt to secretly hire my engineer behind my back by 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:30.960 cybersecurity officers or agents. They were curious to learn which 0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:35.880 open source libraries are integrated to the Telegram's app. On 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:40.600 the client side, and they were trying to persuade him 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:44.640 to use certain open source tools that he would then 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:49.920 integrate into the Telegrams code that my understanding, would serve 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:51.320 as backdoors. 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:54.040 Would allow the US government to spy on people who 0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:55.360 use Telegram. 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:58.199 The US government to maybe any other government. 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:00.440 Tey. 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:04.720 This guy left Russia he's Russian by birth, because the 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:08.360 government wanted in on his app and he refused to 0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:12.400 censor free speech on the Telegram platform. So he left 0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:16.600 Russia thinking well, I'll be safe with the Western governments, 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:21.520 won't I. And here he is arrested on French soil, 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:24.440 which he has a dual citizenship there, as well as 0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:29.960 the UAE where he's set up the Telegram headquarters in Dubai. 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:33.800 So he ends up being arrested and detained for a week. 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:38.480 He's due to face a magistrate in France on Sunday. 0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:41.760 By a NATO ally. 0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:45.040 By a friend of the Biden administration, by a well 0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:49.440 and truly Western government who one would like to believe 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:53.319 wouldn't be for censoring a platform like Telegram. 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:56.920 I can't understand why he is responsible for what people 0:12:57.000 --> 0:13:00.640 do on his social media platform, which is really just 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:04.400 like making the board of Telsta responsible for what people 0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:07.360 say on a phone call, and for the government to 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:11.160 want backdoor access where they can effectively spy on people 0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:14.040 using this app means nobody is safe. And we all 0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:17.600 believe that we want sex traffickers and gang lords and 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:21.080 drug traffickers, we all want them court. However, you've got 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:24.360 to ask the question if the government, in the process 0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:28.440 of trying to track sex traffickers, happen to hear you criticizing, 0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:32.199 say Emmanuel Macron or government policy, and all of a 0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:37.120 sudden you're in trouble. And unfortunately, there's precedent around the world, 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:39.400 whether what the UK are doing right now looking at 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:43.520 social media and jailing people for Facebook posts, or the 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:46.600 Canadian government, which we've talked about ad nauseum since COVID, 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:51.240 who froze bank accounts of those who dared to protest 0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:55.800 their policies. You just wouldn't trust Western governments now sadly, 0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:57.040 to do the right thing. 0:13:57.200 --> 0:13:58.160 No, and let. 0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:02.560 Alone governments that we know to be dictatorial authoritarian regimes. 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:07.240 Imagine if you were in government, imagine in Russia or 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:10.680 China or any other country where you're seriously worried that 0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:12.960 you know someone will come around and have you popped 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:15.280 off for saying the wrong thing about the government that 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:18.080 if they had access to what you were saying privately. 0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:21.200 Because they're on Telegram, you can private message people. And 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:24.000 there's also what they call channels, which is a bit 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:27.800 like any other social media platform Facebook, x et cetera, 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:30.760 where multiple people can go on and post and talk 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:34.720 to each other. And Telegram, because it is encrypted, is 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:38.440 often used by people to discuss things that they wouldn't 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:42.120 otherwise want to broadcast publicly. That is the point of 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:46.920 an encrypted system. It's something that politicians themselves use, much 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:50.360 like they've used WhatsApp for a long time, because there's 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:53.520 an added level of privacy in those communications, and it's 0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:58.560 communications that they as politicians, don't necessarily want being accessed 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:02.280 by other people. It's highly security stuff that they wouldn't 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:05.400 want foreign nations getting their hands on, so they use 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:08.080 things like signal and Telegram and WhatsApp, et. 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:10.320 Cetera for that level of security. 0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:14.520 Now, I understand that law enforcement don't lack the fact 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:17.160 that that encryption makes it more difficult for them to 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:20.160 do their jobs, But how was law enforcement doing their 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:23.280 job fifty years ago when you didn't have access to 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:27.040 this technology of any kind. And you know, if I'm 0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:30.000 having a conversation with you face to face, well, unless 0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:32.720 I'm wearing a bug, you can't get access to that. 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:36.760 Somehow law enforcement managed to catch criminals for a very 0:15:36.840 --> 0:15:40.720 long time without having ready access to technology. What they're 0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:44.240 really upset with is that the technology exists, but law 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:47.080 enforcement has been outsmarted by it. Of course we want 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:49.560 to catch criminals. Of course we want to stop criminals. 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:52.560 But why don't we talk about meta Facebook, all the 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:58.760 other social media platforms where the criminality, criminality is happening 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:03.040 every single day, child abuse material, child pornography is being 0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:05.920 posted every single day. Have we seen any of those 0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:09.080 companies hauled before a court and told you are going 0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:13.360 to be prosecuted for the dissemination of child pornography. No, 0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:15.720 Every now and again they front up to some sort 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:18.080 of senate inquiry in the US and they get wrapped 0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:20.680 over the knuckles and told you're doing a bad job. 0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:22.720 You should do something to clean it up. You don't 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:25.840 see Elon muskal or you know, they'll try it with 0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:28.520 him eventually. We don't see Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:32.480 or anyone getting arrested because the criminality on their platform. 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:35.920 If it's hard to do your job, I'm sorry, law enforcement. 0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:38.640 You've just got to try harder doing your job. That's 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:41.640 simply how it works. And you think of all the 0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:44.800 data that is collected on you now by banks and 0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:45.800 all sorts. 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:47.520 Just any extra. 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:49.600 Bit of data that you can potentially give to law 0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:52.880 enforcement or government, even if right now you're not doing 0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:56.160 anything wrong, you never know in future whether you may 0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:59.440 be doing something wrong in the eyes of the government, 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:01.920 and then they're they want to get access. 0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:02.320 To it exactly. 0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:03.680 They'll have the read receipts. 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:05.600 It is as simple as that. 0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:09.760 Let's come back home to Victoria, where apparently their bidding 0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:13.040 for the Gay Games. Now I didn't know that the 0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:15.560 Gay Games were a thing, but apparently they are. It's 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:17.919 been going for decades that the last one they had 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:20.959 over in Hong Kong, I think had about five thousand people, 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:24.800 so it's a reasonably large event. Adelaide and Perth are 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:27.359 apparently also in the running for the Gay Games. That 0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:30.280 it said that Adelaide has now dropped out. They thought 0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:32.600 they'd leave that to their labor friends over in the 0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:36.119 other states such as Victoria and Western Australia. But of 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:39.840 course you'll remember that Victoria was the state that under 0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:42.200 Daniel Andrews, in the lead up to the twenty twenty 0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:46.439 two state election, secured the Commonwealth Games for twenty twenty 0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:48.200 six and said they're going to have this great model. 0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:49.800 It was going to be all through the regions. It 0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:52.359 was only going to cost about two and a half billion. 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:56.000 It'll be the best thing since Clise Bread. Sorry, then 0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:59.000 they decided that it was actually going to cost seven 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:02.760 billion dollars. Where that number came from, we still don't know. 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:07.400 They then paid some six hundred million dollars in compensation 0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:11.080 to the Commonwealth Games for them canceling the twenty twenty 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:14.960 six Commonwealth Games. And we find out today that they think, hmm, 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:17.040 we can't do the Common Games. 0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:19.880 But maybe we can do the Gay Games. 0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:23.080 Here's the Sportsmanister Steve Demopolis announcing this today. 0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:27.160 Whether it be the Gay Games or anything else, we're 0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:31.960 always ready to make ourselves available for a major event 0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:35.000 that wants to come to Melbourne, Victoria. The Gay Games 0:18:35.840 --> 0:18:40.240 approached us that were in very early days, so we're 0:18:40.240 --> 0:18:41.560 in the running out here. So that's great. 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:47.320 We'll see what happens the Victorian Opposition Tourism spokesman Sam Roth, 0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:50.480 former professional tennis player. Of course, he said, after wasting 0:18:50.520 --> 0:18:53.680 six hundred million on the Commonwealth Games, debarkle, how can 0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:58.720 any Victorian have confidence labor can deliver this event? Well, yes, 0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:01.320 I don't think any of us have any particular confidence, 0:19:01.359 --> 0:19:03.880 though you know, they probably learned the listen about going 0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:06.439 down the regional road. If they do decide to have 0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:09.600 the Gay Games, I'd never heard of the thing. Why 0:19:09.600 --> 0:19:12.439 don't they just call it the Games? You don't have 0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:15.000 to have the Gay Games. Just roll it into one. 0:19:16.359 --> 0:19:20.200 There's some free marketing tips for you. But but what 0:19:20.240 --> 0:19:22.960 the hell is the Gay Games? We should note that 0:19:23.000 --> 0:19:26.239 the Gay Games, which you would think implies that it is, 0:19:26.280 --> 0:19:28.600 you know, sort of the equivalent of the Olympics. It 0:19:28.640 --> 0:19:31.120 was once called the Gay Olympics, but they got into 0:19:31.200 --> 0:19:33.160 legal travel over using the word Olympics. 0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:37.600 You would think that it was specifically for lgbt IQ people. No, 0:19:37.840 --> 0:19:38.919 it's for anyone. 0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:41.720 So what how is it even the Gay Games to 0:19:41.800 --> 0:19:45.480 begin with? I don't know, but Victoria, they cannot see 0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:48.439 a sporting event that they're not interested in until, of 0:19:48.480 --> 0:19:50.160 course they're not interested in it. 0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:53.199 I hope. I hope they get the Gay Games just 0:19:53.240 --> 0:19:56.160 so they can not have the Gay Games. Gotta love 0:19:56.280 --> 0:19:57.359 Sam Groth there. 0:19:57.280 --> 0:20:00.720 Being like we're always ready to make ourselves bailable. 0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:01.160 For as well. 0:20:01.200 --> 0:20:05.159 You're clearly not, buddy, and Victorians have paid through the 0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:08.480 nose for a game that you're not even hosting anymore. 0:20:08.640 --> 0:20:10.960 So you're not always ready, are you. 0:20:11.200 --> 0:20:12.520 What I can't believe was. 0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:14.760 Because I've never heard of these either. Apparently they've been 0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:19.440 running since the eighties, the Gay Games. How many times 0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:25.320 when we've discussed the issues around trans competitors at the 0:20:25.400 --> 0:20:29.080 Olympics or at the trouble that causes with regard to 0:20:29.240 --> 0:20:32.720 women's sports no longer being women's sports. Sorry, women, you 0:20:32.840 --> 0:20:37.199 just have to compete with biological men or withdraw and 0:20:37.240 --> 0:20:41.160 never get to live your dream. We've always said, why 0:20:41.160 --> 0:20:45.240 don't they just create their own events, their own separate category. 0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:51.040 To now learn that this has existed for decades, but 0:20:51.119 --> 0:20:55.639 they just insist on ruining it for biological women who 0:20:55.920 --> 0:20:59.160 rock up to their own events to compete in their 0:20:59.200 --> 0:21:00.480 own category. 0:21:00.720 --> 0:21:04.640 It makes it even worse. We keep suggesting it, like, oh, 0:21:04.840 --> 0:21:08.560 brand new idea, You guys should just create a category 0:21:08.640 --> 0:21:10.960 for all the trans players because then they can have 0:21:11.040 --> 0:21:15.800 a great time. No one's left out. It's always existed, 0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:19.600 and people who belong to the trans community just keep 0:21:19.720 --> 0:21:22.399 rocking up to the non trans games to ruin it 0:21:22.480 --> 0:21:23.320 for everybody else. 0:21:23.359 --> 0:21:25.960 I got to admit, I'm just completely confused because I 0:21:26.040 --> 0:21:28.159 watched the opening ceremony of the Paris Games and I 0:21:28.160 --> 0:21:31.800 thought that was the gay Games. I mean, And in addition, 0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:34.680 they had a couple of boxes with x Y chromosomes 0:21:34.720 --> 0:21:39.080 beating women black and blue. That was pretty inclusive, I thought. 0:21:39.200 --> 0:21:39.400 So. 0:21:39.600 --> 0:21:43.240 I wasn't aware that the Olympics was only for heterosexuals. 0:21:43.560 --> 0:21:45.439 So there's that issue. Why on earth do we have 0:21:45.520 --> 0:21:47.760 a gay Games in the first place. But you've got 0:21:47.800 --> 0:21:51.159 to love the labor Victorian government. We can't afford the games, 0:21:52.160 --> 0:21:53.359 or do you say gay games? 0:21:54.440 --> 0:21:55.480 I can afford games. 0:21:57.480 --> 0:22:00.400 I should point out, just before we're too critical, Oftoria, 0:22:00.480 --> 0:22:04.520 Adelaide and Perth are also bidding for the Gay Games. 0:22:04.560 --> 0:22:08.280 I believe there's three out of seven international cities bidding 0:22:08.280 --> 0:22:10.959 for the games are Australian cities. 0:22:11.000 --> 0:22:13.399 Read into that what you will. But if Victoria win 0:22:13.480 --> 0:22:13.960 the Gay. 0:22:13.800 --> 0:22:16.200 Games, I mean, it'll be a magical event. They'll hold 0:22:16.240 --> 0:22:18.480 it at the MCG but it would be in the dark 0:22:18.520 --> 0:22:21.000 because they can't afford to turn the lights on because 0:22:21.000 --> 0:22:21.840 they're so broke. 0:22:21.880 --> 0:22:23.240 But I think here's the key. 0:22:23.840 --> 0:22:27.679 We're told that state representatives will travel to Washington to 0:22:27.840 --> 0:22:31.919 formally pitch their city to organizers in October. So this 0:22:32.000 --> 0:22:35.919 sounds to me like a wonderful junket for the Tourism Minister. 0:22:36.000 --> 0:22:38.280 And don't you dare criticize it, because if you do, 0:22:38.840 --> 0:22:41.399 when you're homophobic and bigoted, aren't you? This is all 0:22:41.400 --> 0:22:45.800 about diversity and inclusion. So it's beyond reproach, Caleb, you 0:22:45.840 --> 0:22:46.760 can't criticize it. 0:22:46.800 --> 0:22:49.960 Apparently Sydney had the Gay Games in two thousand and two. 0:22:50.119 --> 0:22:53.879 Now we all remember the Sydney Olympics. I don't remember 0:22:53.920 --> 0:22:56.480 the Sydney Gay Games. But there may actually be a 0:22:56.520 --> 0:22:58.920 little bit of sense in it because I assume if 0:22:58.920 --> 0:23:01.040 you bid for them win the the Gay Games, you're 0:23:01.080 --> 0:23:03.320 not going to build any new infrastructure. You're just going 0:23:03.359 --> 0:23:06.639 to use existing infrastructure, unlike what you would have to 0:23:06.720 --> 0:23:08.000 do for the Commonwealth Games. 0:23:08.119 --> 0:23:10.000 So if you can get five thousand. 0:23:09.640 --> 0:23:12.879 People to jet into your city or more potentially and 0:23:12.880 --> 0:23:14.960 spend money while they're there, and you don't have to 0:23:15.000 --> 0:23:16.159 build anything for it. 0:23:16.160 --> 0:23:18.520 It may actually make some economic sense. 0:23:18.600 --> 0:23:20.440 But I suppose all of that will come out in 0:23:20.480 --> 0:23:23.800 the watch when Victoria eventually says we've been for it, 0:23:23.880 --> 0:23:25.720 we've won it, and then two years down the line, 0:23:25.760 --> 0:23:27.360 we're not going to have it anymore because we can't 0:23:27.400 --> 0:23:27.840 afford it. 0:23:28.119 --> 0:23:28.359 Well. 0:23:28.400 --> 0:23:31.760 Sticking with the theme, Disney's new Star Wars series, promoted 0:23:31.840 --> 0:23:35.679 as the gayest series ever, has been canceled after just 0:23:35.840 --> 0:23:37.240 eight episodes. 0:23:37.359 --> 0:23:38.840 Who would have seen that coming. 0:23:39.080 --> 0:23:42.560 Hopefully, the series, which featured a lesbian witches coven where 0:23:42.600 --> 0:23:45.000 the mostly women of color, used the Force to impregnate 0:23:45.040 --> 0:23:48.800 each other, will be banished to a galaxy far far away. 0:23:49.080 --> 0:23:52.720 Here's some of that scene with these lesbians using the force. 0:23:52.560 --> 0:24:15.480 To just have a look. Now. 0:24:15.520 --> 0:24:17.840 The signs for this series were bad from the beginning. 0:24:17.880 --> 0:24:22.240 When Disney appointed a queer activist Leslie Headland as the 0:24:22.280 --> 0:24:25.479 writer and director of the series, she was asked what 0:24:25.520 --> 0:24:28.680 she thought about this being the gayest Star Wars ever. 0:24:29.720 --> 0:24:30.800 Because nerds are gay. 0:24:31.240 --> 0:24:33.640 Yeah, some nerds are very not gay and are very 0:24:33.800 --> 0:24:35.359 threatened by. 0:24:34.840 --> 0:24:41.200 Well, that's true, but in my world nerds are gay. 0:24:41.200 --> 0:24:43.800 No, I don't think so, And yet people have told 0:24:43.800 --> 0:24:46.159 me that it's the gayest Star Wars, and I'm frankly. 0:24:48.400 --> 0:24:48.840 Into it. 0:24:51.680 --> 0:24:54.439 I remember the original Star Wars movies, you know, and 0:24:54.520 --> 0:24:59.280 they had Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher, who were famously 0:24:59.359 --> 0:25:03.480 good at does this new series, Acolyte features amndless Stenberg, 0:25:03.520 --> 0:25:07.880 who's famously non binary and gay, Charlie Bunnett, who famously 0:25:07.920 --> 0:25:10.760 came out as gay when he was thirteen, and Abigail Thorne, 0:25:10.760 --> 0:25:16.000 who's famously transgendered. So it's very inclusive, very diverse, and 0:25:16.280 --> 0:25:18.960 very boring. They spend one hundred and eighty million dollars 0:25:19.040 --> 0:25:22.199 on eight episodes, and no one watched it. Liz, I 0:25:22.200 --> 0:25:22.840 can't believe it. 0:25:22.960 --> 0:25:25.880 Do you wonder if Lucas is just like, why did 0:25:25.920 --> 0:25:26.520 I sell this? 0:25:27.440 --> 0:25:29.240 Why did I sell. 0:25:28.920 --> 0:25:31.760 This to Disney? He would have seen this in the 0:25:31.800 --> 0:25:35.200 water right well, the tea leaves, because it was only 0:25:35.240 --> 0:25:37.600 a couple of years ago that one of the directors 0:25:37.600 --> 0:25:41.359 at Disney announced to the world. It made headlines that 0:25:41.440 --> 0:25:45.200 she wanted fifty percent of characters in the children's movies, 0:25:45.440 --> 0:25:50.680 all the cartoons, as well as massive franchises like Star 0:25:50.800 --> 0:25:56.119 Wars to be fifty percent LGBTIQ. Now in the acolyte. 0:25:56.119 --> 0:25:58.760 I'd say it's more than fifty percent. They went for 0:25:58.960 --> 0:26:03.560 gold and lo and behold, shock and surprise. It's an 0:26:03.760 --> 0:26:08.920 absolute failure. People do not like this. Disney already knows 0:26:09.000 --> 0:26:12.280 this though, because they've had several bombs at the box 0:26:12.320 --> 0:26:15.800 office as they keep trying to put this kind of 0:26:16.040 --> 0:26:18.320 ideology into their movies. 0:26:18.520 --> 0:26:20.639 Parents don't like it. Kids. 0:26:20.680 --> 0:26:22.480 Who knows if it goes over their heads or they're 0:26:22.520 --> 0:26:25.959 actually indoctrinated by it. But this has not been a 0:26:26.000 --> 0:26:28.840 winner at the box office for as long as Disney 0:26:28.840 --> 0:26:33.280 has tried it on, and yet they just keep going. 0:26:33.440 --> 0:26:37.520 Do you love losing? What's going on? Disney? We'll just 0:26:37.600 --> 0:26:38.520 let them keep doing it. 0:26:38.760 --> 0:26:42.160 Just waste as much money as possible until you can't 0:26:42.240 --> 0:26:45.639 make films and crappy television programs anymore, go back and 0:26:46.440 --> 0:26:49.080 destroy good things like Star Wars. I mean, you know, 0:26:49.119 --> 0:26:51.280 it's just a classic case of go work. 0:26:51.040 --> 0:26:52.160 Go broke, isn't it. 0:26:52.240 --> 0:26:56.360 And I love when this happens because it proves that 0:26:56.440 --> 0:26:59.840 the consumer is not in the same place as the big. 0:26:59.640 --> 0:27:02.080 People and the big corporates. 0:27:02.080 --> 0:27:05.399 And there are lots of people sitting in boardrooms around 0:27:05.400 --> 0:27:08.679 Australia and around the world at these big corporates who are, 0:27:08.720 --> 0:27:11.960 you know, well into their sixties and seventies and perhaps 0:27:11.960 --> 0:27:14.560 have lost touch a little bit, and they get these 0:27:15.080 --> 0:27:17.600 hip young things, you've just come out of university, and 0:27:17.640 --> 0:27:20.479 they walk into the boardroom and they go, I'm going 0:27:20.520 --> 0:27:22.480 to tell you how to get in touch with the 0:27:22.600 --> 0:27:25.760 young people, the youths, and they say, we've just got 0:27:25.760 --> 0:27:28.000 to put more gay characters in. We've just got to 0:27:28.040 --> 0:27:31.840 have like lesbian scenes where women get pregnant by looking 0:27:31.840 --> 0:27:33.880 at the moon and shouting things right. 0:27:34.119 --> 0:27:36.320 And then they go, oh, yeah, let's go on board 0:27:36.359 --> 0:27:38.000 with that. We're going to get the young viewers. 0:27:38.160 --> 0:27:40.639 And then the young viewers don't tune in because when 0:27:40.720 --> 0:27:43.160 you turn on the telly, you go home at night, right, 0:27:43.600 --> 0:27:46.400 you sit down. You're sitting there now with a glass 0:27:46.400 --> 0:27:48.080 of red in hand, or I hope you've got a 0:27:48.119 --> 0:27:49.960 glass of red in hand, or a whiskey or something. 0:27:50.440 --> 0:27:53.440 Pretty well, you pay the kids to bed. Some people 0:27:53.440 --> 0:27:54.240 watch sober. 0:27:54.520 --> 0:27:57.720 Well, if you're watching sober, then then good luck to you, 0:27:57.840 --> 0:28:00.440 because it's not a good so you're doing. I'm saying 0:28:00.440 --> 0:28:02.600 you need to drink in order to watch this program, 0:28:02.640 --> 0:28:04.880 but it does sometimes help. But you know, you want 0:28:04.920 --> 0:28:07.399 a bit of entertainment. You turn on the TV to 0:28:07.440 --> 0:28:10.359 watch Star Wars. You know you don't want this stuff 0:28:10.440 --> 0:28:11.400 shoved down your throat. 0:28:11.520 --> 0:28:13.480 You just want to sit back and relax and not 0:28:13.640 --> 0:28:15.280 really have to think about anything. 0:28:15.400 --> 0:28:18.960 And you're like, oh, geez, Star Wars, I remember Anakin Skywalker, etc. 0:28:19.480 --> 0:28:22.240 And then it's like some weird lesbian pregnancy. 0:28:22.359 --> 0:28:24.399 I tell you was drinking though. And that's the review 0:28:24.480 --> 0:28:27.080 of Acolyte, who was writing for the Mashable website. 0:28:27.080 --> 0:28:27.520 Listen to this. 0:28:27.560 --> 0:28:30.920 It says, despite plenty of real world evidence that queer 0:28:30.960 --> 0:28:34.440 people and queer animals exist all over the globe, there 0:28:34.480 --> 0:28:37.399 aren't any queer folk in an entire galaxy. 0:28:37.720 --> 0:28:38.520 That's absurd. 0:28:38.960 --> 0:28:41.280 This galaxy is the galaxy that had Jabber the Hut 0:28:41.520 --> 0:28:42.200 Darth Vader. 0:28:42.480 --> 0:28:43.600 It's science fiction. 0:28:44.320 --> 0:28:48.720 It's not meant to reflect you know, San Francisco diversity 0:28:48.800 --> 0:28:49.680 and inclusion. 0:28:49.840 --> 0:28:53.400 No, okay, galacy far far away. It doesn't help that 0:28:53.520 --> 0:28:57.400 the main character of the Acolyte loves to indulge in 0:28:57.440 --> 0:28:59.760 a little bit of casual races. 0:29:00.320 --> 0:29:03.520 Check it out. When people watch the Heat, you give, 0:29:03.520 --> 0:29:05.200 what do you want them to walk away with? Because 0:29:05.200 --> 0:29:08.280 I know everyone has a slightly different feeling well. 0:29:08.240 --> 0:29:15.040 I mean white people crying actually was the goal. It's 0:29:15.120 --> 0:29:16.720 okay when they do it. 0:29:17.080 --> 0:29:19.120 I mean, it's just unbelievab. 0:29:19.120 --> 0:29:21.640 They were talking about another movie that she'd start in. 0:29:21.720 --> 0:29:24.040 By the way, the hate you give, do not watch it. 0:29:24.040 --> 0:29:28.200 It's actually been banned several places. No, seriously, it has 0:29:28.280 --> 0:29:29.640 been because there's quite. 0:29:29.440 --> 0:29:31.040 A few untoward things in it. 0:29:31.360 --> 0:29:35.040 But it is so funny if that was two white 0:29:35.120 --> 0:29:38.880 people saying, well, the point of my movie was to. 0:29:38.800 --> 0:29:40.200 Make black people cry. 0:29:40.440 --> 0:29:44.120 Ah, you'd be fired, you would. 0:29:43.960 --> 0:29:45.640 Not get to come into work the next day. 0:29:45.880 --> 0:29:48.120 Well, you know what, keep spending your money. Just keep 0:29:48.160 --> 0:29:50.040 doing it. We love it. Spend as much money as 0:29:50.080 --> 0:29:50.920 we do a bug light. 0:29:51.480 --> 0:29:54.960 Just waste it all until you've got nothing left to give. 0:29:55.160 --> 0:29:56.160 Let's go to the UK. 0:29:56.400 --> 0:30:00.880 We're a very odd story about a TV into Christy 0:30:01.000 --> 0:30:05.400 Kirsty sorry Alsop is her name, and she allowed her 0:30:05.560 --> 0:30:08.320 fifteen year old son to go on a trip across 0:30:08.360 --> 0:30:12.120 Europe with a mate. Now, once upon a time, many 0:30:12.200 --> 0:30:15.160 of you at home would remember school holidays. 0:30:15.200 --> 0:30:16.400 You know, you'd be on. 0:30:16.280 --> 0:30:19.640 Your bike after breakfast, out playing with your mates, and 0:30:19.680 --> 0:30:23.120 mama'd say be home for tea at six pm. No 0:30:23.160 --> 0:30:26.440 one was tracking where you were. No one cared where 0:30:26.520 --> 0:30:29.600 you were. You were trusted to look after yourself. 0:30:29.640 --> 0:30:30.400 Now at piece. 0:30:30.240 --> 0:30:33.640 Fifteen, his mate who he went away with is sixteen. 0:30:33.800 --> 0:30:36.280 You know you can have a job at sixteen, you 0:30:36.320 --> 0:30:39.320 can leave school at sixteen, Lots of things you can 0:30:39.320 --> 0:30:39.959 do at sixteen. 0:30:40.080 --> 0:30:41.000 You'd think you could be. 0:30:41.000 --> 0:30:44.479 Trusted to go on a trip away by yourself. Oh 0:30:44.480 --> 0:30:47.120 a way for about a month. Well, when her son 0:30:47.280 --> 0:30:52.200 got back, she received a call from Social Services saying, 0:30:52.400 --> 0:30:56.000 we're a bit concerned about the welfare of your fifteen 0:30:56.080 --> 0:31:00.120 year old son because you allowed him to go away 0:31:00.160 --> 0:31:03.680 on his own. How do you put trust in your child? 0:31:04.280 --> 0:31:08.280 We do not do that anymore. She was flabbergasted to 0:31:08.320 --> 0:31:11.320 receive this phone call. Someone obviously had made a report 0:31:11.360 --> 0:31:14.400 to Social services and this social worker calls her up 0:31:14.440 --> 0:31:16.480 and she said in response, I knew we were becoming 0:31:16.520 --> 0:31:19.560 a more risk averse culture in the UK and the US. 0:31:19.600 --> 0:31:22.320 My time in Switzerland has taught me a lot there 0:31:22.360 --> 0:31:25.840 as in Japan, children walk to school alone. Oh my god, 0:31:25.880 --> 0:31:27.800 can you believe it? They're trusted to go to school 0:31:27.840 --> 0:31:31.080 alone and are encouraged to learn early to be self 0:31:31.120 --> 0:31:35.160 sufficient and trusted to make sensible choices. The silver lining 0:31:35.200 --> 0:31:37.800 to this cloud is that everyone stops and thinks about 0:31:37.800 --> 0:31:41.000 the freedoms we had as children and ask what harm 0:31:41.080 --> 0:31:44.000 could be done not by the freedoms, but by the 0:31:44.040 --> 0:31:49.160 restrictions and fears we are imposing on our kids. He'd 0:31:49.200 --> 0:31:52.200 been away for three weeks with a mate, so he 0:31:52.240 --> 0:31:53.520 had someone with him. 0:31:53.400 --> 0:31:54.880 That she trusted. 0:31:54.960 --> 0:31:58.800 Obviously, I'm sure he wasn't in communicado. She could have 0:31:58.840 --> 0:32:00.760 phoned him at any time. You could have phoned her 0:32:00.800 --> 0:32:02.400 at any time to say, Mum, I'm in a bit 0:32:02.400 --> 0:32:03.240 of trouble. 0:32:03.200 --> 0:32:07.000 Come and help me. Whatever. We wrap kids now in 0:32:07.080 --> 0:32:08.160 so much cotton book. 0:32:08.640 --> 0:32:11.200 You go to a playground, they've ripped out all the 0:32:11.200 --> 0:32:14.560 good equipment, the monkey bars, you know those spinning things again. 0:32:14.600 --> 0:32:16.680 You fly off one hundred miles an hour because, oh 0:32:16.760 --> 0:32:20.080 my god, a kid might break some bones. Parents are 0:32:20.120 --> 0:32:22.280 worried to let their kids play in the street. 0:32:22.360 --> 0:32:24.440 Oh my god, you might get hit by a car. 0:32:25.200 --> 0:32:27.880 Kids aren't allowed to go walking on their own or 0:32:27.920 --> 0:32:28.400 with a mate. 0:32:28.400 --> 0:32:30.480 When the young anymore goes, oh my god, you might 0:32:30.480 --> 0:32:33.160 get abducted. Oh there might be some violent crime. 0:32:33.560 --> 0:32:38.840 You look statistically violent crime, abductions, assault, etc. Happens at 0:32:38.840 --> 0:32:41.400 a lower rate than it has it any other time 0:32:41.560 --> 0:32:43.160 in recorded criminal history. 0:32:43.400 --> 0:32:45.520 We have less to worry about them, we ever. 0:32:45.360 --> 0:32:51.560 Have, But we now force kids into a basically lifelong childhood. 0:32:51.720 --> 0:32:55.280 We don't give them any responsibility, and then we wonder 0:32:55.560 --> 0:32:58.760 why they grow up to be absolute squibs who can't 0:32:58.800 --> 0:33:02.440 hack it in the workplace, have to be reassured every 0:33:02.480 --> 0:33:04.840 five minutes, because they never just sort of chucked out 0:33:04.840 --> 0:33:07.160 into the world and told we'll go and fend for yourself. 0:33:07.800 --> 0:33:10.280 Mother actually says to a sonk I trust you. I'm 0:33:10.280 --> 0:33:12.400 putting some trust in you to go away for three 0:33:12.400 --> 0:33:15.080 weeks with your mate, and she cops a phone call 0:33:15.160 --> 0:33:18.000 from child Services saying we think he's in danger. 0:33:18.080 --> 0:33:21.240 I'd be proud as punch if I was Kirsty Alstot. 0:33:21.360 --> 0:33:22.360 Check out this tweet. 0:33:22.440 --> 0:33:25.400 She said, my little boy has returned from three weeks interrailing. 0:33:25.720 --> 0:33:27.840 Will be sixteen on Wednesday. So we went with a 0:33:27.920 --> 0:33:32.120 mate who's already sixteen due to hostile travel restrictions. But 0:33:32.240 --> 0:33:40.640 they organize the whole thing themselves. Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, Berlin, Munich, Marseilles, Toulouse, 0:33:41.400 --> 0:33:43.920 Barcelona and Madrid. 0:33:44.160 --> 0:33:46.080 If you had a kid who. 0:33:46.000 --> 0:33:50.920 Was capable of organizing a triplight that you know you've 0:33:50.920 --> 0:33:54.360 done right as a parent, because that is a responsible 0:33:54.880 --> 0:33:58.520 young man in the making. And let's not forget what 0:33:58.720 --> 0:34:02.840 kids of yesteryear were capable of. Check Out this sixteen 0:34:02.920 --> 0:34:07.320 year old post World War Two being interviewed and telling 0:34:07.360 --> 0:34:10.719 everyone proudly he lied said he was eighteen when he 0:34:10.800 --> 0:34:15.040 was only fourteen because he wanted to serve his country. 0:34:15.239 --> 0:34:17.520 Sergeant Willey, how old were you when you invested in 0:34:17.560 --> 0:34:18.000 the army? 0:34:18.120 --> 0:34:20.360 I was fourteen, sir, fourteen. 0:34:20.440 --> 0:34:22.040 How did you get in when you were fourteen? 0:34:22.440 --> 0:34:27.160 Well, I went to Puriosir, and told the recruiting. 0:34:26.640 --> 0:34:29.040 Officer there that I was eighteen, so he let me in. 0:34:30.160 --> 0:34:33.720 How many combat missions were you on in over enemy territory? 0:34:33.880 --> 0:34:34.640 Twenty two, Sir? 0:34:35.320 --> 0:34:35.759 Twenty two? 0:34:35.800 --> 0:34:44.600 Where were they? Mostly? Mostly they were in Africa, Sir Cicily, Cicily, Pandelurian, Sardinia. 0:34:44.719 --> 0:34:47.040 Have you got a girl back home, nor, sir? Girls 0:34:47.040 --> 0:34:48.280 don't bother me in much. 0:34:49.560 --> 0:34:55.600 A parents, stop infantilizing your children, especially your boys. They 0:34:55.640 --> 0:34:57.600 are young men in the making, and I think the 0:34:57.640 --> 0:35:01.560 more responsibility that they're given from a young age. We're 0:35:01.560 --> 0:35:04.560 no longer talking about eight year olds working full time 0:35:04.600 --> 0:35:10.319 as chimney sweets in Charles Dickens type England, freezing to 0:35:10.560 --> 0:35:15.080 death and dying in chimneys. We are talking about young 0:35:15.160 --> 0:35:19.160 men who are well and truly capable of shouldering responsibility. 0:35:19.400 --> 0:35:22.000 And this also comes down to parental discretion. 0:35:22.520 --> 0:35:23.920 We all boys would be up. 0:35:23.920 --> 0:35:27.360 To this, but hers clearly was in her humble opinion, 0:35:27.640 --> 0:35:29.920 and off they went and nothing bad happened. 0:35:30.120 --> 0:35:32.520 The only thing this mum has done is guaranteed that 0:35:32.560 --> 0:35:34.279 she won't have a thirty year old sitting in her 0:35:34.280 --> 0:35:35.160 basement playing. 0:35:35.000 --> 0:35:36.520 Video games in the future. 0:35:36.800 --> 0:35:38.799 The strange part about this story, though, and you read 0:35:38.800 --> 0:35:41.440 out the tweet where she was boasting about her son's 0:35:41.440 --> 0:35:44.600 European adventure, But it was because of that tweet I 0:35:44.640 --> 0:35:48.120 believe that the complaint came. So the complaint to social services. 0:35:48.200 --> 0:35:50.919 Was it because someone saw this kid alone on a train, 0:35:51.040 --> 0:35:54.160 or someone saw this kid wondering around Barcelona without supervision. 0:35:54.520 --> 0:35:57.000 The complaint to social services came when someone read the 0:35:57.000 --> 0:35:58.320 tweet and thought, oh. 0:35:58.239 --> 0:35:59.799 You shouldn't treat your son like that. 0:36:00.160 --> 0:36:03.120 By that time, he was home safely, no harm had 0:36:03.160 --> 0:36:06.440 been done. He'd been successful in his journey. But now 0:36:06.719 --> 0:36:09.960 there's a record with social Services that will remain open 0:36:10.000 --> 0:36:12.520 for the next number of years, just in case, I 0:36:12.520 --> 0:36:15.720 guess she sends him on another Karen. 0:36:15.400 --> 0:36:19.960 Who can play year old son who is utterly useless 0:36:20.000 --> 0:36:25.920 and can't even tie his own shoelaces. Probably just incredibly jealous, 0:36:26.239 --> 0:36:29.920 being like, well, well, she's just a terrible mother exactly. 0:36:29.960 --> 0:36:30.920 We're going to go to a break. 0:36:30.960 --> 0:36:32.800 When we come back, we'll look at what's making news 0:36:32.840 --> 0:36:37.640 in tomorrow's papers, including Deputy Green's leader Marine Ferruki to 0:36:37.719 --> 0:36:39.640 investigate anti Semitism. 0:36:43.440 --> 0:36:43.960 Welcome back. 0:36:44.040 --> 0:36:46.160 Let's take a look at what's making news tomorrow. We'll 0:36:46.160 --> 0:36:49.160 start with the Adelaide Advertiser. And so Caleb Bond always 0:36:49.200 --> 0:36:53.400 bags reading the Adelaide News because you love Adelaide so much. 0:36:53.280 --> 0:36:55.080 Of course, and you can catch my column and the 0:36:55.120 --> 0:36:58.560 Advertiser every Friday. And we've got two Southustralian legends on 0:36:58.560 --> 0:37:01.040 the front of the tars it's more Maggie Year unfortunately 0:37:01.560 --> 0:37:04.439 has had a fall at home, but she is recovering well. 0:37:04.480 --> 0:37:07.279 We are told, Get well Maggie and Graham Corn's in 0:37:07.320 --> 0:37:10.720 the bottom right hand corner there, of course, the inaugural 0:37:10.760 --> 0:37:14.000 coach of the Adelaide, Crows and great from Glenelgin. The 0:37:14.040 --> 0:37:18.400 Sandfill has apparently sadly separated from his wife Nicole. But 0:37:18.680 --> 0:37:21.000 as it says there, he hopes it's. 0:37:20.840 --> 0:37:21.439 Not the end. 0:37:21.600 --> 0:37:24.040 Thinking of you, Cornsey, you're a good feller. But the 0:37:24.120 --> 0:37:29.520 splash tomorrow Holy Cow bills rise. Iconic fruit and dairy 0:37:29.560 --> 0:37:33.160 business Nippies monthly power bill has more than doubled in 0:37:33.200 --> 0:37:39.160 an electricity cost crisis gripping the agriculture industry. The managing 0:37:39.239 --> 0:37:42.640 director says, basically, what's happened is they had a previous 0:37:42.680 --> 0:37:46.839 contract that ended last year in December. That meant they 0:37:46.880 --> 0:37:48.920 got a good rate on their electricity. 0:37:49.080 --> 0:37:50.640 When that ended, the. 0:37:50.760 --> 0:37:54.440 Monthly bill doubled from fifty one thousand, six hundred to 0:37:54.520 --> 0:37:57.840 one hundred and nine thousand and five hundred and eighty, 0:37:58.080 --> 0:38:01.440 despite the fact that they install called a million dollars 0:38:01.440 --> 0:38:06.200 worth of solar panels and actually using less electricity than 0:38:06.239 --> 0:38:09.760 they were before. Now Nippi's is a great South Australian company. 0:38:09.840 --> 0:38:13.160 I'm quite partial to a Nippy's iced honeycomb milk. If 0:38:13.200 --> 0:38:15.680 you haven't had one, I recommend you give it a go. 0:38:16.080 --> 0:38:18.560 But this is the reality for business and Nippe's is 0:38:18.600 --> 0:38:20.719 a reasonably big business. But can you imagine if you 0:38:20.719 --> 0:38:24.200 were a small business and you've taken every measure you 0:38:24.239 --> 0:38:27.160 possibly can the solar panels, et cetera, to try to 0:38:27.200 --> 0:38:31.520 cut your costs, and your power deal changes and overnight 0:38:31.880 --> 0:38:35.480 your power costs double. It would be impossible for so 0:38:35.680 --> 0:38:38.719 many businesses to stay afloat. It's just ridiculous. 0:38:38.719 --> 0:38:41.120 Well, turn you plibosec would say that they should be grateful. 0:38:42.680 --> 0:38:45.840 Imagine if I haven't spent a million dollars on solar panels, 0:38:45.880 --> 0:38:48.359 imagine how big their bill would be then, So they've 0:38:48.400 --> 0:38:51.799 actually saved money, Liz, it's all about perspective, you see. 0:38:52.640 --> 0:38:57.000 Well, this article says dairy farmer's bills have sawed past 0:38:57.040 --> 0:39:01.439 one hundred thousand dollars a year. I hate how much 0:39:01.560 --> 0:39:05.120 farmers in this country are dutted by our governments. I mean, 0:39:05.160 --> 0:39:08.799 you'd think, sure, okay, energy has gone up for everyone, 0:39:08.960 --> 0:39:12.000 But when we're talking about the people who manufacture our food, 0:39:12.880 --> 0:39:17.080 shouldn't there be some allowances made because that's kind of important. 0:39:17.360 --> 0:39:18.040 We already know. 0:39:18.040 --> 0:39:20.600 That they're dutted by the supermarkets, especially if you're a 0:39:20.680 --> 0:39:24.440 dairy farmer. Those guys pay nothing for the milk. 0:39:24.200 --> 0:39:24.840 That we buy. 0:39:25.239 --> 0:39:28.400 It's utterly ridiculous. Remember the milk wars of two thousand 0:39:28.400 --> 0:39:31.520 and ten. It ain't much better now, if at all. 0:39:32.080 --> 0:39:36.560 And they're constantly told these stupid promises. Government never comes 0:39:36.600 --> 0:39:40.080 good on that turn around all we're burning live export now, 0:39:40.239 --> 0:39:43.840 nobody gets a heads up. Entire industries are just gutted, 0:39:44.360 --> 0:39:47.840 and then they rock up to these rural festivals and 0:39:47.920 --> 0:39:51.160 stuff like, oh shake my hand, press the flesh, I'm 0:39:51.239 --> 0:39:51.760 just here. 0:39:51.600 --> 0:39:52.520 For photo ops. 0:39:52.560 --> 0:39:55.240 I wish they'd just be booed out of the rural 0:39:55.320 --> 0:39:59.520 areas because never before have I seen governments do less 0:39:59.840 --> 0:40:02.080 for the farmers in this country. And we call a 0:40:02.080 --> 0:40:05.440 lot of people the backbone of Australia, but who more 0:40:05.480 --> 0:40:08.200 than our farmers. If it weren't for them, we'd all 0:40:08.200 --> 0:40:13.000 be dead, literally dead, and yet nothing. 0:40:13.719 --> 0:40:16.040 Thank God, that renewable energy is the cheapest form of 0:40:16.160 --> 0:40:19.239 energy known to man and we're all reaping the benefits 0:40:19.360 --> 0:40:21.960 of it. Let's go to the Canberra Times where the 0:40:22.000 --> 0:40:26.640 headline reads Civic stadium nudges three billion dollars. You've got 0:40:26.640 --> 0:40:29.399 my attention already. How can canber acquire a. 0:40:29.400 --> 0:40:32.080 Stadium three billion dollars? 0:40:32.080 --> 0:40:32.400 Worth. 0:40:32.440 --> 0:40:36.440 The Opta Stadium in Perth, which is magnificent, cost one 0:40:36.520 --> 0:40:40.279 point six billion dollars and seat sixty thousand people. This 0:40:40.320 --> 0:40:42.640 one's only going to seat thirty thousand. The article reads, 0:40:42.840 --> 0:40:45.120 the cost of a new stadium in Civic could be 0:40:45.160 --> 0:40:48.480 close to three billion dollars. The ACD government has revealed 0:40:48.800 --> 0:40:53.120 in a set of figures significantly higher than previous estimates. 0:40:53.200 --> 0:40:58.080 So three billion dollars a thirty thousand seat stadium. And 0:40:58.120 --> 0:41:02.160 here's the kicker, the cost is almost four hundred percent 0:41:02.480 --> 0:41:06.919 higher than the government had originally forecast just a few 0:41:06.960 --> 0:41:10.480 weeks ago. So this is a highly unusual story, Caleb, 0:41:10.520 --> 0:41:14.960 where you've got government cost estimates blowing out by four 0:41:15.040 --> 0:41:15.680 hundred percent. 0:41:15.760 --> 0:41:17.959 This is very unusual. We don't really see this around 0:41:18.000 --> 0:41:18.400 the country. 0:41:18.400 --> 0:41:22.200 In Victoria or Queensland, governments tend to be fairly on 0:41:22.239 --> 0:41:25.400 the money, were doing their costing. 0:41:25.520 --> 0:41:27.919 We've never heard of a cost blowout in my life. 0:41:28.480 --> 0:41:33.759 How does it come to three billion dollars? That is 0:41:34.440 --> 0:41:35.720 three billion dollars? 0:41:35.719 --> 0:41:38.440 Now we go back to talking about the Gay Games 0:41:38.480 --> 0:41:42.120 earlier and what Victoria originally budgeted to put on the 0:41:42.160 --> 0:41:43.040 Commonwealth Games. 0:41:43.040 --> 0:41:45.359 It was what two point six billion or something. 0:41:45.120 --> 0:41:48.000 Right, So for the cost of what originally they thought, 0:41:48.040 --> 0:41:49.759 I mean they said seven billion. Later I think the 0:41:49.840 --> 0:41:51.799 number was just sort of plucked out of the ass. 0:41:51.800 --> 0:41:52.439 It's not real. 0:41:52.800 --> 0:41:55.480 But for two point six billion dollars they were supposedly 0:41:55.480 --> 0:41:58.480 going to put on the entire Commonwealth games, including the 0:41:58.520 --> 0:42:02.120 infrastructure camera. They want to build a stadium and it 0:42:02.160 --> 0:42:04.880 costs three billion dollars. Now, you pointed out what it 0:42:04.920 --> 0:42:08.280 costs to build up the stadium in Perth when Adelaide 0:42:08.320 --> 0:42:11.120 Oval was upgraded, and I will admit that it was 0:42:11.120 --> 0:42:13.399 a bit over a decade ago, but that cost him 0:42:13.400 --> 0:42:16.319 about five hundred and thirty million dollars. How do you 0:42:16.440 --> 0:42:19.320 possibly get to three billion dollars? 0:42:19.600 --> 0:42:21.080 And who the hell is going to go to a. 0:42:21.080 --> 0:42:25.960 Three billion dollar stadium in canbra I'd go once just 0:42:26.000 --> 0:42:28.080 to check it out to see what a three billion 0:42:28.120 --> 0:42:29.400 dollars stadium look like. 0:42:29.600 --> 0:42:30.880 But that is inside. 0:42:31.040 --> 0:42:33.400 If you supported the Canberra Raiders, I guess you'd be 0:42:33.480 --> 0:42:36.239 pretty happy with it. And which AFL team plays in 0:42:36.280 --> 0:42:37.200 camberra gws? 0:42:37.280 --> 0:42:41.520 Yeah, I think they that they'd spend three billion. 0:42:41.280 --> 0:42:46.680 Dollars out where is it Homebush? I hate watching Great 0:42:46.800 --> 0:42:48.000 Western City in that stadium. 0:42:48.600 --> 0:42:51.200 You love watching gws old one. 0:42:51.160 --> 0:42:53.600 Hundred dollars towards the three billion dollar costmes. 0:42:53.520 --> 0:42:55.840 The only ones worth watching to the front page of 0:42:55.880 --> 0:42:56.640 the Herald Sun. 0:42:56.719 --> 0:42:59.040 Now will smoke you out. 0:42:59.280 --> 0:43:03.600 You crackdown on organized crime gangs illicit tobacco trade as 0:43:03.640 --> 0:43:09.400 authority sees almost five billions cigarettes at border in past 0:43:09.440 --> 0:43:13.520 three years. Organized crime gangs are smuggling unprecedented amounts of 0:43:13.520 --> 0:43:17.440 tobacco into Australia, with authorities revealing they have seized almost 0:43:17.520 --> 0:43:21.840 five billion cigarettes at the border in the last three years. 0:43:22.160 --> 0:43:26.120 Can you blame them with the excise? Okay, I'm not 0:43:26.200 --> 0:43:29.680 making excuses for this, but sis, there's like with the 0:43:29.960 --> 0:43:35.600 excise placed on cigarettes, the tax on tobacco in austrauct 0:43:35.840 --> 0:43:39.160 You talk to any pom, for instance, and you tell 0:43:39.239 --> 0:43:41.719 them that a pack of twenty five cigarettes you're looking 0:43:41.719 --> 0:43:47.080 at around fifty five dollars, They literally you see their 0:43:47.239 --> 0:43:51.320 heads explode. I don't know if we have the most 0:43:52.320 --> 0:43:55.000 expensive cigarettes in the world, but we have got to 0:43:55.040 --> 0:43:56.239 be up there. 0:43:56.640 --> 0:43:59.200 It is some of the highest costs in the world. 0:43:59.440 --> 0:44:02.400 And no wonder the chop chop shows just like this 0:44:02.680 --> 0:44:04.920 place is fertile brand. 0:44:04.880 --> 0:44:08.400 Exactly, and the insanity of it is that the government says, oh, 0:44:08.440 --> 0:44:11.360 we've got to have this high excise to discourage people 0:44:11.400 --> 0:44:15.000 from smoking. No, the high tobacco excise is not about 0:44:15.000 --> 0:44:18.640 discouraging people from smoking. It's because the government is more 0:44:18.640 --> 0:44:25.080 interested in the coffers, coowfers than the coffers, cough s 0:44:25.480 --> 0:44:29.200 or ers, because they're making shard loads of money out 0:44:29.239 --> 0:44:31.319 of it, lots and lots of money. That's what it's 0:44:31.320 --> 0:44:33.759 all about. They know people are addicted and so they 0:44:33.800 --> 0:44:35.920 just want to eat every last cent out of them 0:44:36.239 --> 0:44:36.919 that they can. 0:44:37.320 --> 0:44:41.000 The illegal tobacco I was going to say industry, it's 0:44:41.000 --> 0:44:41.880 not really an industry. 0:44:41.880 --> 0:44:46.440 It's criminality, but it has exploded in Australia. Something like 0:44:46.480 --> 0:44:49.560 twenty percent of the entire tobacco market in Australia now 0:44:49.880 --> 0:44:53.440 is illegal cigarettes. People would buy the legal product if 0:44:53.480 --> 0:44:56.439 they could, but they can't afford it, so they buy 0:44:56.600 --> 0:44:59.640 the illegal product, and in the process the government actually 0:44:59.680 --> 0:45:03.239 dug itself out of tax that it otherwise would have 0:45:03.320 --> 0:45:06.200 earned if it had had a lower exercise. 0:45:06.600 --> 0:45:08.000 You look at the US. 0:45:07.840 --> 0:45:10.799 Where a packet of daries is about twelve bucks as 0:45:10.840 --> 0:45:13.839 opposed to the forty fifty odd that it is here, 0:45:14.120 --> 0:45:16.960 and the smoking rates are pretty much the same in 0:45:17.000 --> 0:45:19.719 Australia and the US, so it doesn't actually make a 0:45:19.719 --> 0:45:22.720 difference to whether or not people smoke. It's just government greed. 0:45:22.960 --> 0:45:25.439 And in the process of this government greed, they put 0:45:25.560 --> 0:45:27.959 money in the hands of biking gangs. 0:45:27.640 --> 0:45:30.320 And organized crime. Well done. 0:45:30.440 --> 0:45:34.480 The government via the tobacco excise is funding sex trafficking 0:45:34.600 --> 0:45:37.560 and slavery and rape and murder. 0:45:37.160 --> 0:45:39.800 In this country. Well done federal government. 0:45:40.239 --> 0:45:42.520 Now we didn't quite get to the Australian, but the 0:45:42.560 --> 0:45:46.760 Australian's worth getting tomorrow, including the story on Marine Ferruki 0:45:46.840 --> 0:45:49.360 being appointed to a committee to investigate can you believe it? 0:45:49.800 --> 0:45:52.320 Anti Semitism?

When we come back. 0:45:54.000 --> 0:45:57.520 Some Sunshine Coast fishermen they film a great white shark 0:45:57.600 --> 0:46:00.560 attacking their votes. We'll show you the footage.
