1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: Seventy thousand public school teachers and educators will strike tomorrow

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: for the first time in over a decade.

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 2: It's just straight our whole eten out of whack.

4
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 3: Government school teachers, principals and education support staff are going

5
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 3: on strikee.

6
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 4: We don't want to be doing this, but we feel

7
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 4: as though we have to have to.

8
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: Yes, it is a big day in the city today.

9
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,119
Speaker 1: If you're in the city, you'll obviously see a sea

10
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: of red, which is the T shirts the teachers will

11
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: be wearing as they go on strike in Victorian thirteen

12
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: twenty four to ten. Right here, right now. If you

13
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: are going on strike, if you're a teacher who is striking,

14
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: who will be marching in the city.

15
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 5: Today, you can remain anonymous as well.

16
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 1: Of course, is it all schools, all public schools, Well,

17
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 1: the bulk of public schools will be impacted, so it's

18
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: somewhere in the range of thirty thousand public school staff

19
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: we'll walk out on classes now. Most schools will still

20
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: operate very much a skeleton style program, so more in

21
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: a super you know, a vision type capacity for kids

22
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: who can't who can't stay home, you know who his parents,

23
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: who his parents are working.

24
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 3: I understand by teachers protests and nurses protests, but gosh,

25
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 3: it is it is tricky for parents and.

26
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 5: Kids managing every thing. We've set up a little crazy

27
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 5: here at nov today. Just see that, haven't.

28
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, the guys in sales have said any parents are

29
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 4: going to be stuck with kids at home, feel free

30
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 4: to bring them in. They've set up like a lunch

31
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,559
Speaker 4: and stuff in the boardroom for the kids and everything.

32
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 4: I'm putting plenty in at ten to do that.

33
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 6: We're not meetings scheduled.

34
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: We're dressing up as clowns.

35
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 4: The clowns our twelve year old's going on school camp

36
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 4: and we're.

37
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 6: Like twelve year old to be thrilled to stay home

38
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 6: for a day.

39
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 4: Well, no, I think the strike because the camp started yesterday.

40
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 4: Some of them went up yesterday, so I guess teachers today.

41
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 3: No, Honestly, teachers are good people. They're not leaving your

42
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 3: kids in the strike.

43
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 5: That's ridiculous.

44
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: So let's just quickly talk about what they want. So

45
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: this is more than five hundred public schools across Victoria,

46
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,639
Speaker 1: as I say, thirty thousand teachers or staff walking out.

47
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 1: They're chasing thirty five percent in pay increases and improve

48
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: work conditions. At the moment, the state government has come

49
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: to the party up to about eighteen percent, clearly, and

50
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: they're claiming the teachers claim they're the worst paid teachers

51
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: in Australia.

52
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 5: Are they.

53
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: Well, let's ask one now, because we've got Mitch on

54
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: the line, who's a primary school teacher and you're going

55
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: on strike today.

56
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 2: Mitchie, Yes, I am going into the city state.

57
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: How do you feel? How do you feel about it all?

58
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 2: I'm a little bit annoyed that I'm going to miss

59
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 2: out on a day's wage, but I guess you have

60
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 2: to if you want to make big moves with the

61
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 2: current government, Mitch.

62
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 5: Can I ask?

63
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 4: As a parent with a couple of kids in school,

64
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 4: I've been pretty surprised about the extra workload that's put

65
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 4: on teachers. Like I was dropping the kids off basketball

66
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 4: training last night at five pm there was the staff

67
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 4: car part was still full. Teachers were still working back.

68
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,959
Speaker 4: There's an app at our school we use called Seesaw

69
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 4: where the teachers have to constantly upload photos this lot

70
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:09,679
Speaker 4: of updates of what they're doing.

71
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 5: Through the data.

72
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,839
Speaker 4: Parents can log on and look and I'll be honest, Mitch,

73
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 4: whenever I get these updates, I'm like.

74
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 6: When do you have the time today?

75
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 4: I don't want the teacher sending me this. I just

76
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 4: want the teachers being able to focus on teaching our kids.

77
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 2: No, look, that's right, but I guess part of the

78
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 2: job comes with community connection, and that's that on top

79
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 2: of teaching is the one thing that we want more

80
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 2: time to do. It's just the extra admin of the

81
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 2: department keep pumping different ways to teach, and then you

82
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 2: need to spend time in your own time figuring out

83
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: what's this new model they want us to do, and

84
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 2: then we have to kind of replan everything. So I mean,

85
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: in a you know, eight hour working day, you end

86
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 2: up working twelve because you need the extra floor to

87
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 2: catch up on all the crap that is not talking

88
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 2: to parents and teaching kids and the stuff you get

89
00:03:59,480 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: into the job.

90
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 3: So, Mitch, is this just about money, because I'm with you,

91
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 3: I don't think teachers get paid anywhere near enough. But

92
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 3: is it just about money or is it also about conditions?

93
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 2: No, it's money is one of the main things that

94
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 2: we're asking for, but it's class sizes. Like last year,

95
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 2: I had twenty eight kids in my class. Twenty percent

96
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 2: of them of high needs and the school just don't

97
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 2: have the resources who give every kid an adequate chance

98
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,559
Speaker 2: of having that extra one on one time with the teacher.

99
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 6: How do you take that pressure off?

100
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 3: Like if you get paid more, which I'm or for

101
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 3: you getting more money, how does that help that other situation?

102
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 2: Well, I guess the money is kind of like a

103
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 2: compensation for those poor conditions. I suppose. I mean, my

104
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 2: partner works in food regulations and he earns much more

105
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 2: than I do. And I mean all he does is

106
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 2: stick off products to be sold on super muggats. But

107
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 2: do you think it's more laptop at night?

108
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,119
Speaker 3: If there was more mo money on the line, there'd

109
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 3: be more reason for people to go into might go

110
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 3: into teaching, and then you have more teachers. My sister

111
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 3: in LAWA is a teacher, and like Jay said, the

112
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 3: hours you work are just amazing. And it's everyone says, Oh,

113
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 3: the teachers get ten weeks and you're ten weeks holiday.

114
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 6: No you don't.

115
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 4: I was just looking at the update on that app

116
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 4: and one came through about my son the teachers uploaded

117
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 4: at six point twenty at night.

118
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, just you want a be to help, You

119
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: want to be of love, Mitch, you want a.

120
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 2: Bit of help. We need, you know, our schools need

121
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 2: to be adequately funded so that we can afford resources

122
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 2: and adduyers that you know, give every child a better chance.

123
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 2: So that's all asking for us. Just you know, meet

124
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 2: us at the table, give us a fair go and

125
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 2: kind of look at what other state governments have done

126
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 2: to improve their schools, and you know, maybe we need

127
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 2: to have a look at Victoria and what we're not doing.

128
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 5: A wee behind again in Victoria, of course.

129
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 2: We're absolutely behind compared to other states when it.

130
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: Comes to money.

131
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, Mitch on conditions.

132
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,119
Speaker 1: So yeah, I've just perceived it x from a friend

133
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: of mine. It just paints a picture of what today

134
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: is going to be like in a public school. Thanks

135
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: you for this school has been reduced to twelve staff

136
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: from forty five, so they've got basically seven eight nine

137
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 1: on a modified program, so they could still be like

138
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: three hundred plus kids at the school today.

139
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

140
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: So well, because to show what sort of impact it's

141
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: going to happen, a lot.

142
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 6: Of parents have to take that they have to because

143
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 6: they don't have an option.

144
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 3: But I know and I know there will be parents

145
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 3: out there who are really frustrated today. But I think

146
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 3: if you know a teacher, it'd be nice to reach

147
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 3: out to them and say that they've got your support.

148
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 6: Because teachers work bloody hard.

149
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 4: I always repinned on around holidays and when there's student

150
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 4: free days saying they' filling up the dakream machine that.

151
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 4: But that's me joking around. Firsthand, I see the hours

152
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 4: they pull and it is crazy. And like you said,

153
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 4: you look at it and go, why would you want

154
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 4: to get into it?

155
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 1: Came as well, it's not just it's not just the

156
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: hours they pull in classroom, it's the howsa coming up home.

157
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 4: Teachers here in Victoria aren't doing it for the money.

158
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 4: They're doing it for the love.

159
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,679
Speaker 3: My sister in law is sitting at home marketing essays

160
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 3: and assignments and all of that stuff. There has to

161
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 3: be time for that too, exams, everything else, and that

162
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 3: comes in their personal time a lot of the time.

163
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 6: Good on your teachers, You've got my support.

164
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 3: Government school Teachers Principles and education support staff are going

165
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 3: on stripe.

166
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: We don't want to be doing this, but we feel

167
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: as though we have to. Yeah, they want better paying conditions.

168
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: Victorian Public school teachers. They're chasing somewhere in the order

169
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: of thirty five percent in terms of a pay increase.

170
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: At the moment, the government has offered seventeen percent big

171
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: rally in the city day. Lots of red out in

172
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: form Now.

173
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 4: I know it's going to be inconvenient for a lot

174
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 4: of people out there. They're going to take kids to work,

175
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 4: might have to take the day off. I know we're

176
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 4: setting up a craze here pretty much at Nova for the.

177
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: Five thousand public school teachers plus five hundred schools.

178
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 4: Before you blow up, I think teachers have every right

179
00:07:58,360 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 4: to stand up in protest.

180
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 3: I agree with anyone who should be being paid more.

181
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 3: It's teachers and nurses.

182
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 4: And again Victoria is behind the other states. And I

183
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 4: mentioned earlier the amount of out of school hours work

184
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 4: teachers have to do these days is incredible. They've got

185
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 4: to update apps so they've got it. We can email

186
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 4: teachers direct, like you imagine how many emails and stuff

187
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 4: they're getting every day from parents.

188
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 3: Well, they're firstly not getting paid enough that it's enticing

189
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 3: people to go into the industry, so there's a shortage

190
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 3: of stuff they need. Working longer hours. I know people say, oh,

191
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 3: they get ten weeks holiday, but they don't. My sister

192
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 3: in law is a teacher and she spends the holiday's

193
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 3: marketing assignments prepping for the semester ahead.

194
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 6: Teachers work bloody hard.

195
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: Teachers like Simone who's a primary school teacher who is

196
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: going on strike today. Morning, Simone, morning, Good morning guys.

197
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: What's at the heart of your decision to strike today?

198
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 7: Well, our conditions, our pay, the class size numbers, the

199
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 7: lack of support. You know, there's such a shortage of

200
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 7: teachers out there. When grades are split, you may have

201
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 7: upwards of thirty plus peas in your graves. And because

202
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 7: there's a shortage of the irs as well.

203
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 3: So the there has been an offer for an increase

204
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 3: in pay of what is it, Clint eighteen percent?

205
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: Seventeen almost eight percent?

206
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, what is it that teachers are after, Simon? How

207
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 3: much more do you need?

208
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 7: So we've i mean, in our loog of claims it's

209
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 7: put in thirty five percent, knowing that we probably won't

210
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 7: get that, but we need to get in the twenty.

211
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 6: Probably definitely, So we're not fine.

212
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 7: No, But you know, like at the moment where about

213
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 7: fifteen thousand dollars fifteen thousand less paid less a year

214
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 7: than other states. Wow, such a it's insane.

215
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, we need to be coming in line with the

216
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 4: other states minimum minimum.

217
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 3: Also, living expenses in Victoria more than a lot of

218
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 3: other states.

219
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 6: There's absolutely no reason why should be on England.

220
00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 4: No, so my money doesn't fix everything, but with increase ages,

221
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 4: surely that will encourage people to get into the industry

222
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 4: and therefore make things easier working, make working conditions easier

223
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 4: for you.

224
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 2: Is that.

225
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 7: You know, like people are leaving, especially since COVID, because

226
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 7: they've either had to get second jobs or they've found

227
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 7: a job that you can go when you clock off

228
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 7: at first at five, you clock off at five, you

229
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 7: don't take work home with you. You know what, we

230
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 7: need more incentive to stay in our profession.

231
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: I'm surrounded by teachers. I've got a lot of friends

232
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: and family who are teachers in the public school system.

233
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: A lot of them tell me the same thing about today,

234
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,719
Speaker 1: in particular, they feel guilty striking simone, but they have

235
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: to do it. What's been the reaction from parents at

236
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 1: your school who have they been largely supportive?

237
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, we're really lucky. At our school, they've been largely supportive.

238
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 7: But they also see the hard work and the dedication

239
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 7: we put into their children and their education. But you know,

240
00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 7: there are a lot of pops out there that are

241
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 7: not supportive of it, or they're going, oh, we're just breeding.

242
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 7: You want more than seventeen percent. Yeah, they don't know

243
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 7: the conditions we work under, no, and the stress and

244
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 7: the demand.

245
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 6: And the other thing is it's important to notice to

246
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:10,839
Speaker 6: parents they aren't. Look.

247
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 3: I understand that parents are frustrated because there are other

248
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 3: parents that now can't go to work today because but

249
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 3: that's how striking works. It's actually it's to affect the

250
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 3: system so that their teachers can get what they need.

251
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 3: But it is important to know that most of these

252
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 3: teachers who are striking today are actually losing a day's

253
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 3: wage as well.

254
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 6: They're basically taking leave.

255
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 3: They're not getting paid to be they're losing a day

256
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 3: themselves to do that when they're not earning enough already.

257
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 6: Huge.

258
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: Hey, just finally, Simon, if you had the year of

259
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: the premier who is very much in her government under

260
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: the pump right now, what would you say, in simple terms,

261
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.

262
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 7: Just you know, like you cause the education state you're

263
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 7: failing us, and you're failing our children.

264
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 6: That's it, isn't it.

265
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 5: Yep, it's that's smart and it's well said.

266
00:11:59,480 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 6: Thoughts.

267
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, no way. Thanks for jumping on this morning.

268
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 4: We just thought it was interesting. We thought it was

269
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,719
Speaker 4: important to shine a light on it and point out

270
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 4: this isn't just about money.

271
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 5: And I think that's the thing.

272
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 4: People read the headlines, they go, oh god, they're being

273
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 4: offered seventeen to eighty percent, happy with that.

274
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 5: It's not about that.

275
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,719
Speaker 3: We know when they're earning fifteen thousand dollars less than

276
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 3: the other states, it's insane.

277
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 6: That should be the bare minimum.

278
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 5: We had a lot to fix here, don't we.

279
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: There's a bit on the to do list for whoever

280
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: wins government in November.

281
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 5: It is just gone twenty eight past eight. You're listening

282
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 5: to Nomber one hundred.
