Speaker 2: I'll give you all the details in just a moment.

7
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 2: I'm joined in studio by my colleague Nick Bond, who

8
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 2: is our entertainment editor. Nick, you were the only person

9
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 2: in the office who was free, so thank you so

10
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 2: much for stepping in.

11
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: I feel so wanted.

12
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 2: As I mentioned, Australia, we want your help. We have

13
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 2: just launched something at news dot com dot you called

14
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 2: the Great Aussie Debate. Now, this is basically a survey

15
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,160
Speaker 2: of about fifty questions and we want you to take

16
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 2: part and fill them out for us. Some of the

17
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 2: questions are serious, summer silly and Nick, what I thought

18
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 2: I'd do is just throw some of the questions from

19
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 2: the Great Oussie Debate your way and get your answers. Okay, okay, great.

20
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 2: Some of them are a little bit curly and most

21
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 2: people will be, you know, filling these out private. So

22
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 2: I'll let you have one veto one question where you

23
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 2: don't have to answer. We'll start with a few fun ones.

24
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,479
Speaker 2: Who is Australia's most iconic export export? Oh?

25
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: You know what? Right now, I would say Nicole Kidman.

26
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: She's killing it like across the globe and it is

27
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: beloved as well.

28
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 2: I really thought you were going to say Kylie Minogue

29
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 2: for some reason. Can I have two? You can't? All right?

30
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 2: What is Australia's national dish? Oh?

31
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 1: I feel like Pavlova is a that's a. I'd make

32
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: an argument for that. If you show me somebody that

33
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 1: doesn't like Pavlova, I'll show you a liar.

34
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 2: Is Pavlova Australian? Or is that from New Zealand? Though? God,

35
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 2: I didn't realize there'd be fight back. All right, we'll

36
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 2: move on, all right. You know those beach cabanas that

37
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 2: everyone seems to be up in arms about at the moment.

38
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 2: You live near the beach in Sydney. Do you think

39
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 2: those cabanas should be banned? Do you know what?

40
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: I was very pro kabana for a long time and

41
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: I thought they're you know, some smart we should all

42
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: do it. And then I went to the beach in

43
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: Maruba the other day and it was thick with them,

44
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: and I thought, Okay, guys, this is getting a little much.

45
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: Ban them all, all right? How about this one. You're

46
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 2: in a relationship. Would you consider it cheating if you

47
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 2: found out your partner had a few subscriptions to some

48
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 2: only fans accounts?

49
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: No, as long as they went meeting up with the

50
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: only fans people, I think that's fine. I'd be more

51
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: concerned about how much money is going out of the account.

52
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: We've got a mortgage dollar.

53
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 2: How often do you and your partner have sex?

54
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: I am going to vito this one, hoping that there

55
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 1: is nothing more full on coming up there behind it.

56
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: But I will say, we've been together for eight years

57
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 1: and we haven't broken up yet.

58
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 2: Maybe you just both know you couldn't do better. All right,

59
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 2: we'll go into some more serious ones. Now, would you

60
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 2: vote if it wasn't compulsory? Yes, Yes, I definitely would. Yeah, Sure,

61
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 2: me too. What about this one? Is it racist to

62
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,519
Speaker 2: call someone white? Oh?

63
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: God, I feel like I'm moments away from cancelation here.

64
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: I think that any sort of racial descriptor, if used

65
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 1: in a pejorative way, can come across as racists. So

66
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: what it's a bit harder to but I think if

67
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: you use it in the in I'm not going to

68
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: say the right tone.

69
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, if there's malice behind them, yeah. Okay. Well,

70
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 2: these are some of the questions in the Great Aussie Debate,

71
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 2: which you can feel out right now at us dot

72
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,160

73
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 2: did some pre polling to get an idea of how

74
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 2: OSSI's feel about some of these issues, and I'm going

75
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 2: to give you the surprising results in just a moment. Well,

76
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 2: the Great Aussie Debate. It's a survey of about fifty

77
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: questions that we want everyone to take part in at

78
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 2: news dot com dot AU so that we get a

79
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 2: true snapshot of how the country really feels about certain issues.

80
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 2: We did a little bit of sneaky pre polling on

81
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 2: some of the questions and I've got the results for you,

82
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 2: Nick Bond, you're still here, Thank you for that. I

83
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 2: asked you if you would consider a cheating if you

84
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 2: found out your partner and signed up to a few

85
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 2: only fansunts you said no, forty seven percent of people

86
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 2: who we pre polled actually said yes. God, relax guards.

87
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 2: Forty two percent of people did say that it depends

88
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 2: on the types of interactions that they're having with the creators,

89
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 2: so you know you don't want the Messenger every single night.

90
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: In terms of Australia's national dish, you said Pavlova, the

91
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 2: most popular answer was actually a meat pie.

92
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: Oh okay, well, I don't eat meats, so I was

93
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: never going to say that.

94
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 2: One of the other questions we asked in the pre

95
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 2: polling was, if you're open with your partner about how

96
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 2: much money you earn, would you say that you and

97
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 2: your partner tell each other yes, yeah, Well you're in

98
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 2: the majority. They're eighty two percent of people said yes.

99
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 2: And on the topic of those beach kabanas and if

100
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 2: they should be banned, the answer is no. This is surprising.

101
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 2: Sixty one percent of people polled said they have no

102
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 2: issue with them whatsoever. You're surprised by that.

103
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: No. I think Australia is very son smart, So the

104
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: more that we can son smart, the better.
