WEBVTT - Paul Murray Live | 9 June 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:07.360 From the Skyinging Center. This is Paul Murray Live. Thank you, Sherry, 0:00:07.400 --> 0:00:09.319 thank you to James Morrow for holding the fort for 0:00:09.360 --> 0:00:11.600 a couple of days. I had that extra long weekend, 0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:12.840 all right, the days off finish. 0:00:12.960 --> 0:00:13.120 Now. 0:00:13.160 --> 0:00:15.680 I tried to run and take one week off post election, 0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:17.520 and you know there's a big run before that, a 0:00:17.600 --> 0:00:20.639 couple of sneaky Thursdays, the odds Sunday. Anyway, back on 0:00:20.760 --> 0:00:24.000 deck and all guns blazing. All right, let's get into 0:00:24.000 --> 0:00:25.720 a lot tonight, including Yeah, I'll get all the stuff 0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:27.920 you expect me to talk about, including some stuff you 0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:31.000 haven't heard that's taken place over the past few days. 0:00:31.520 --> 0:00:34.919 But breaking news is cold in winter, but it's particularly 0:00:35.000 --> 0:00:38.839 cold at the start of this winter. Now, yes, everyone 0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:40.559 else can run off and say why they think it's 0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:43.080 the case, and why everyone needs to have more renewable 0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:47.040 power whatever, boring the stuff that's been beautiful to have 0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:48.920 a lookout, and I hope nobody's been caught up in 0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:50.640 this in the negative side. If you're watching us in 0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:52.919 the central west of New South Wales, remember we did 0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:55.160 an outown from Orange a few weeks ago. Well, the 0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:57.800 snow is falling there. All it's good if like mine, 0:00:58.000 --> 0:00:59.560 my kids have never seen snow, so if you get 0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:01.200 a bit of pre warning of this stuff, go and 0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:03.760 check out regional parts of Australia which might at little 0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:08.040 dusting here or there. However, there were some other issues 0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:11.320 including what about it in and around Mount Howtham. Wow, 0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:14.240 not just cold but a snow dump. People who ended 0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:18.440 up well, hikers got caught and a whole bunch of 0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:22.440 people ended up spending last night in that weather in 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:27.760 their cars. Well done to the Victorian Sees, the Nissowales 0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:30.360 Police and all of the local officials in and around 0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:32.959 places like Hawtham, Threadbow and all the rest of it 0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:35.160 that had to go and get people in the middle 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:37.720 of those snowstorms. Not stuff we expect in Australia, but 0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:40.480 it is something that becomes very usual. And now there's 0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:42.560 more cameraphones than ever before, so we know about every 0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:45.240 little thing that happened, including what a way to spend 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:47.680 part of the King's Birthday long weekend. 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:51.960 The road was actually closed and there were signs and 0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:55.360 barricades up, but the physical gate hadn't been locked yet 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:58.720 for the winter that was due to happen this Thursday. 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:00.600 And we did what we could have had weekend which 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:03.600 was putting out the signage, not defying people. But that 0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:06.200 process to formally close the road takes a number of days. 0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:08.880 We've got to get the agreement of vic pol Parksvick 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:12.399 and Deeca. They've got to basically satisfy themselves that we're 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:13.800 not locking people into the park. 0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:18.000 So, as always, the paperwork's fault. Now, the weather did 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:20.880 extend pretty cold morning in the southeast of Queensland all 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:25.080 the way through to parts of Victoria again start of winter, surprise, surprise, 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:28.680 but still it's worth learning exactly why this little snap 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:30.839 is happening right now. And of course Sky News I say, 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:32.800 twenty four hour Weather Service. 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:36.480 It's been very cold throughout the southeast over the past 0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:39.880 few days and of course rather windy with plenty of 0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:41.760 wet weather all floating about. 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:42.160 Now. 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.640 That's on account of this low which is continuing to 0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:47.640 hover off the east coast of New South Wales, really 0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:49.440 stirring up a little bit of trouble. 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:52.800 Now, little bit of good news, not enough to say 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:56.440 that it is a drought broken. But where it wasn't snow, 0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:58.240 there was rain, and there was a lot of rain 0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:01.360 that made it into regional Victoria in the past couple 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:04.280 of days, like thirty mils in some parts. I was 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.239 noticing some people on social media saying that it was 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:09.040 even a whole lot more than that. So thankfully some 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:11.359 just some of the areas that have been drought affected 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:14.680 of recent times, and we know that they have not 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:17.040 been getting the support that they needed. The local communities 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:18.960 have been blowing up about that. We're going to keep 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:21.560 talking about it. But a little bit of rain again, 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:23.840 sky On is weather with some good news of follow 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:25.760 up again. This never happens on the news, does it. 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:27.840 They tell you what's going wrong with they never tell 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:29.400 you the follow up with. He's a follow up, a 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:31.760 little bit of rain to those who need it most. 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:35.240 Into South Australia and this is a location that has 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:38.960 had some pretty decent totals over the past week or so, 0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:42.240 and that's of course much welcome given all the drought 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:45.720 effective regions that have been just missing out constantly for 0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:46.600 the past few months. 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:50.640 All right to politics now, and the final seat was 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:53.440 awarded of the federal election. Yes, many weeks ago. It 0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:55.160 feels like months ago, but it of course was just 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:57.840 weeks ago. And it's the teal who gets the final seat, 0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:01.320 winning by just a bare few eyes and she going 0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:04.400 to love her time on Radio National. The Teal wins 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:06.120 Bradfield won that the Liberal Party at held for the 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:08.600 best part of seventy years. She didn't win it buy 0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:10.720 a lot. It had required a recount and a lot 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:13.280 of pushing back and forth on how those votes were 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:16.400 being encountered, but the margin was about as fin as 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:16.880 you can get. 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:22.000 The electorate of Bradfield came down to just twenty six votes. 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:26.240 The Electoral Commission declared Independent Nicola Buller the winner by 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:28.320 just twenty six votes. 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:31.360 Now, as for the Liberal Party, despite the fact that 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:34.280 the person who was in front at one point in 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:36.680 time and then ended up losing the seat was actually 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:39.520 named in the Shadow Ministry, that was a silly call. 0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:42.200 There's a chance this might go off to court. Most 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:44.720 likely nothing will change. Teal wins the seat. Why am 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:47.599 I talking about this week's after the election, because there's 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:50.040 two groups of people who just deserve a real thank 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:52.600 you for delivering us another Teal. We thought that we 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:54.840 were one down when it came to Zoe Daniel, while 0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:56.599 we get one back now in the case of this 0:04:56.640 --> 0:05:01.560 new person representing the seat of Bradfield. This is the 0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:05.520 votes and in terms of the first preference votes, the 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:08.160 person who has been elected to Parliament as the Member 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:11.000 for Bradfield got, as you can see, about a quarter 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:14.400 of the vote. A quarter of the vote. Yet the 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:16.679 way the preference system works, and of course generally speaking, 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:18.600 when you're running against a Liberal, all bar one or 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:21.080 two are preferencing against you. Hence why we get where 0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:23.680 we were going. But there are two groups in particular 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:26.720 that the teal should be there very thankful for, and 0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:30.320 we should never forget the extra teal that will be 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:34.040 brought to Australian politics with a margin of twenty six votes, 0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:40.080 was preferenced by the trumpet of patriots. Remember the people 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:42.440 who said we've got to have trumpier politics. While they 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:48.240 decided to preference the teal before the Liberal, they got 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:50.960 the best part of a one thousand votes in the seat. 0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:55.400 So even if twenty six people decided to follow that 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:58.360 how to Vote card, thank you so much. So every 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:00.320 time we get the teal and we see this ticular 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:02.160 teal on television and we'll be told how to live 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:05.640 our lives by this teal, thank you so much to 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:08.400 the how to Vote card. Of the trumpet of patriots. Also, 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:10.640 a guy that not many people even in the electorate 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:13.880 have heard of, played quite a significant role. This bloke 0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:17.599 apparently was a former Liberal member, as in a paid 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:20.919 up and proud member of the Liberal Party, and he 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:24.240 decided to run as it independent, resigning from the party. 0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:26.840 On the day or day before or think of the 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:29.640 election being called, he put out his how to vote 0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:33.360 card where guess what the number one person who got 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:37.640 his preferences was the Labor Party. Labor Party at number two, 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:41.320 the former Liberal member who was a Liberal member apparently 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:43.800 the start of this year, handed in his gun and 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:49.000 badge who run as it independent and hand four thousand votes, 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:52.000 some of them when it comes to preferences, first to 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:56.200 Labor and then eventually to the Teal. His explanation as 0:06:56.200 --> 0:07:00.320 to why we will now have another teal, remember up 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:04.719 and proud member of the Liberal Party, was this. 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:09.960 Pointing Labor number two is a strong sign that I'm 0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:11.640 not going to support Peter Dunnet in the leadership. But 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:14.520 the reason I've put at Labor second is to send 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:17.320 a strong message criticism on the current leader of the 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:19.200 Liberal Party, which is Peter Dutton. So a lot of 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:22.000 Chinese Australians have been let down and disappointed by the 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:23.520 remarks that Peter Dutton. 0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:24.160 Has made in the past. 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:27.840 He served as the Minister of Defense during twenty twenty 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:31.360 one and he was someone that emphasized that Australia should 0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:36.480 prepare for war and he wasn't able to depreciate between China, 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:39.880 which is Beijing CCP and the local Chinese community, and 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:43.640 that has unfortunately disappointed a lot of Chinese Australians who 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:46.000 have been running small businesses here for a very long time, 0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:48.480 who raise a family here, who have been paying taxes. 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:52.920 Nothing to see between them about five thousand votes. The 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:55.400 preferences of the trumpeter patriots and the bloke who would 0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:59.600 paid up in proud form a Liberal member is why 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:01.960 we now have thank you so much to both of you. Honestly, 0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:06.280 thank you so much. Australia forever be thankful now, as 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:08.320 we know an awful lot of people are well. Many 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:12.200 may be working a second job with us blaring away 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:15.120 on the TV or Sky News radio in the background, 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:17.400 or maybe check us out on sky News dot com 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:18.560 and all of the other ways that there are to 0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:22.800 watch this program, both live, the apps and all the 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:24.920 rest of it. Well, today we learn about just how 0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:27.560 many people are working more than one job. Now, let 0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:30.400 me translate six and a half percent of people into 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:34.680 how many people in Australia more than one job? Basically 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:38.320 a million people, nine hundred and sixty three thousand people 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:40.760 in Australia have more than one job. Well, of course, Paul, 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:42.480 that's just young people that might have one or two 0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:46.080 jobs so they can make their way through university. Not really, 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:49.680 there is a big difference between men and women in 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:52.520 terms of who has a second job. This is the 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:55.240 cast of characters, and by that I mean people with 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:57.760 more than one job. It's been playing out since March 0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:01.880 twenty twenty. Basically, the darker red line is female workers. 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:05.599 There are more of them that have more than one job. Now, interestingly, 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:07.960 when it comes to age groups, yes there are more 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:11.240 young people and those are the blue lines, regardless of 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:16.480 whether we're talking about June, September, December or March. Quarters 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:19.839 that basically, from left to right, the left is the 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:22.040 light blue all the way through to gray, which is 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:24.960 the oldest of workers. But you can see consistently what 0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:27.199 that picture is, and certainly a big spike of it 0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:31.840 in and around September of last year. But again, oh well, Paul, 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:34.280 isn't this just people that are working your two jobs? 0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:38.400 Maybe mackers and they've got a side hustle. Well, No, 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:42.240 of the nine hundred and sixty three thousand people who 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:44.480 have more than one job, guess what the number one 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:47.760 industry is that those people have more than one job in. 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:53.960 It is not fast food retail, It is not delivering meals. 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:59.920 It is in actual fact, health care, healthcare and social assistance. 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:04.240 One hundred and ninety one thousand of the nine hundred 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:12.280 and sixty thousand are in that particular area. Again, multiple jobs. 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:15.880 It's double the amount, give or take, that are there 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:21.160 in the retail sector. So more women those particular jobs. Yes, younger, 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:23.480 but still plenty of people all the way through too 0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:26.720 close to retirement age working more than one job to 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:29.200 make their way through what, of course, is an economy 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:34.559 that's turned a corner. Amazingly the election result that didn't 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:37.560 seem to matter, that people were working two jobs in 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:42.800 highly professionalized areas in order to make ends meet, And 0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:45.040 there were many fascinating things. As always, when you get 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:46.360 a couple of days off, you get the chance to 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:48.760 read and listen to when you're not having to prepare 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:51.520 the daily show, which of course central joy of my 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:54.920 professional life. But Nick cat, who's of course the boss 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:58.800 of the Mensies Research Center, he wrote an absolutely fascinating 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:00.920 argument trying to get him on the show in the 0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:03.880 next couple of days in The Australian Today. Because you 0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:06.080 know how we always talking about the generational divide and 0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:09.760 generation wars and all the rest of it. Well, in part, 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:13.560 he's wanting us to focus on the youngest of voters 0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:17.679 because they have grown up in pretty terrible times. In fact, 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:20.400 many people who might be on the center or setter 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:24.040 right of Australian politics believe that regardless of what side 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:27.479 of politics is in power, we're sort of managing the decline. 0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:30.400 And some people believe the difference between Team Red and 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:34.440 Team Blue is just how slow we go down the hill. Well, 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:37.560 this is something that Nick expands a little more on. 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:40.400 And for those who want to just dismiss all issues 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:43.040 of young people, who cares? Isn't that triple j isn't 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:46.240 that a thing for TikTok? Guess what they vote and 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:48.880 they will replace the people who will no longer vote. 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:52.240 That's just the way life works, Okay, let's read what 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:58.920 Nick had to say. Entery adult is no longer a 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:04.280 wonderful moment as it once was, the gateway to independence, 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:09.400 charged with the thrill of possibility. It's easy to mock 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:13.160 Generation z's TikTok videos and Instagram loops as they stare 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:17.160 into their front facing camera of history and lament the 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:21.880 hardship of growing up amid historic prosperity in an exceptionally 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:24.959 peaceful and affluent country. But here's where it gets to 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:28.440 the big point. Today's young adults grew up under a 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:34.360 cloud of catastrophism and the normalization of decline. So think 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:37.160 about that in terms of the catastrophism right now. Easy 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:39.480 part to say is, well, that's the climate change climate 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:44.400 catastrophism right well. Also, as he makes the point in 0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:47.280 the article, don't forget these were the people who may 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:49.760 well have either been pulled out of the final years 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:53.680 of school, or the first years of university, or the 0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:58.199 first years of working, all to do with the overreaction 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:01.760 when it came to matters to do with, let alone, 0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:06.080 the catastrophization. You will never own a house, You will 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:09.000 never earn enough money to be able to build a 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:13.199 life for yourself. On top of seeing, yes, the country 0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:15.040 that any of us that were lucky enough to be 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:18.840 alive in the early two thousands, the nineties, the eighties, 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:24.400 or previous decades before that, when in many ways you 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:27.160 could fight your way from the bottom to the middle, 0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:28.960 and if you're particularly lucky, you could make it all 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:32.800 the way towards the tippy top. But that is harder 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:35.040 than ever before for a whole bunch of reasons, fair 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:39.000 and unfair, which gets to the final point that Nick makes. 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:40.319 This is the reason I want to interview him on 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:42.840 the show in the next couple of days. Right, this 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:48.480 is how economic and moral declinism begins. Self reliance is 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:53.600 no longer a virtue but a fiscal inconvenience. He's talking 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:57.480 about how our modern politics now is all about the government. 0:13:57.640 --> 0:14:00.800 Remember that triangle of dependency I've talked about lot, where 0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:02.679 you're either working for the government or you've got to 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:04.480 hand out from the government or your business, your beaus 0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:06.120 client as the government. What he goes on to say, 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:09.440 we are passed beyond the Nani state to something far 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:14.240 more insidious, their helicopter state, where the government hovers, micromanagers 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:17.320 and intervenes not just to protect but to preempt and 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:22.480 infantilizes Generation Z has grown up in a world of 0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:28.800 regulated choices, apparently incapable of navigating life without ministerial intervention. 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:33.800 Well said Nick, again, I know if he's in lots 0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:35.360 of different places, and I won't take him away from 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:38.440 any other the commitments that he has two other programs. 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:40.800 But I look forward to a conversation about this because 0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:43.360 this is big boy pad stuff. This is a serious 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:47.720 conversation about the future of our country, about how the 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:49.840 center right can reach out to say there is a 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:53.040 different way, There is a different way where you can 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:56.000 be in charge of your future, where you if you 0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:58.880 back yourself, if you take risk, then the reward can 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:01.840 be way bigger than what you are risking, because we 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:05.880 all know that is missing. But also we can't pretend 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:08.560 that there's not a whole bunch of young people who've 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:11.080 got lots of great ideas about how they want to 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:13.200 build a future for themselves. And yes, that might be 0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:15.880 an app on a device which you and I might 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:17.760 not be using, but they're going to make a huge 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:21.440 chunk of change out of it. Equally, so kids in 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:26.040 year ten right now should be actively told that there 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:28.400 are two doors you can go through. Yes, you can 0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:29.920 go to university and all the rest of it and 0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:33.680 become a good little Greens believer, but you can also 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:35.640 go through this door and become a tradee and in 0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:38.200 more money than any philosophy degree will ever get you. 0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:42.320 That's part of talking about that self reliance, because yes, 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:44.720 it's a long hard road if you're an apprentice to 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:46.480 then to be able to stand on your own two food. 0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:48.440 But anyone who knows anyone I was talking to a 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:52.280 chippy this weekend. Their plan is to eventually get the 0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:54.800 ABN to be able to go off, have a few 0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:58.840 blokes and the sheelers working for them all right, and 0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:01.120 to be able to go often build a business. That's 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:03.080 the path. So there is a role for all of 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:08.560 us to play in inspiring not shitcanning, but inspiring the 0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:12.200 next generation of voters because it currently sits. There is 0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:15.040 no way that they're going to be voting the way 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:19.720 that we do, and the way not to have the 0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:22.000 conversation so they vote that way, but just to have 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:25.360 the conversation so everyone can start understanding each other, so 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:28.720 you can show them the story of your own life 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:31.960 or your parent's life. Because again I was thinking a 0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:36.040 lot about this over the weekend, where I am of 0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:41.080 that generation that still is impressed by what their parents did, 0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:45.880 who is impressed by what their grandparents did. And that's 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:48.080 not to say that somebody who's thirty or twenty five 0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:52.760 doesn't admire their parents or grandparents. But I admire the 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:58.240 war service of my grandparents. I admire the home front 0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:05.040 of their families left behind. I admire the open fields 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:10.080 that turned into quartuacre blocks and suburbia that organized itself 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:15.600 around a sense of values and to have a country 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:19.480 that many many people have joined since. But people who 0:17:19.480 --> 0:17:23.600 buy into how good is this joint? Not how good 0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:25.600 is this joint? Now, let's turn it into some other joint. 0:17:27.160 --> 0:17:30.360 And for Gen X's we're sort of court sometimes between 0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:33.960 what we keep being told is the fashionable future and 0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:37.040 the honoring of our parents who work so hard, of 0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:41.480 course in the seventies and eighties and nineties, So that's 0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:43.440 where I'm coming from. Had this whole thing planned about 0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:46.640 whether I get into the meaning of what I try 0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:48.080 to bring to the show each and every night, but 0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:50.600 maybe we'll tease that out over the next few days. 0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:52.520 But part of that conversation is going to be a 0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:55.199 chat with Nick, because I think there's something in this 0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:59.159 for all of us, not just political, but about an understanding, 0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:02.440 because I'm done with the generation wars, right, I'm done 0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:05.080 with young people blaming old people and old people just 0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:08.679 ignoring young people. Okay, I get it. Sometimes both are 0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:10.879 going to annoy each other. And as Grandpa Simpson so 0:18:11.880 --> 0:18:15.479 spectacularly said, when Homer Simpson was coming to the Forge 0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:17.240 and he was starting to be the one in the 0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:19.760 family that was more culturally, you know, right on man, 0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:21.480 which is I used to be cool, and then they 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:23.680 changed what cool was, and now what's cool is weird 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:28.720 and scary, as it was for grandparents parents in my case, 0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:32.440 gen X and many of the wonderful, inspirational young people 0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:34.960 who we work with on this show each and every day. 0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:39.040 And I know many young people watching us, including two 0:18:39.200 --> 0:18:43.360 very beautiful little one was barely a teenager when he's 0:18:43.400 --> 0:18:44.920 going to be a teenager in a couple of years. 0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:46.800 Lots of young people come up to me when we 0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:48.959 do the shows, particularly in regional areas, and there are 0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:51.120 literally people as have said, Hey, we've watched you every 0:18:51.200 --> 0:18:54.120 day of our lives. We've been around for fifteen years. 0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:57.600 You guys matter the most, right because it's really important 0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:01.199 that we keep living our lives and getting involved in 0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:03.400 the conversations. But you're the ones they're going to take 0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:06.480 the joint, hopefully in a better direction than any of 0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:07.960 us could dream of. So if you are a young 0:19:08.000 --> 0:19:10.560 person watching us for the first time or for the 0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:13.719 seven thousandth time, thank you. I really appreciate it, honestly 0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:15.359 I do. And to the parents who made them watch 0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:20.600 all right, now, let's talk about the honors system because 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:22.359 guess what I'm going to say exactly what I say 0:19:22.560 --> 0:19:25.359 around the Australia Day Honors, around the Queen's Birthday honors, 0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:28.400 and every time this stuff happens, right, congratulations to everyone 0:19:28.440 --> 0:19:31.600 who got one. But the system is broken. Why because 0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:34.720 people like the former boss of the Business Lobby Group 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:39.720 they got one, as you know, broadcasters like the guy 0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:42.240 who used to wear black on the ABC, he got one. 0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:44.840 And even the person in charge of the Australian Electoral 0:19:44.880 --> 0:19:48.400 Commission got one. Now I am not having a crack 0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:51.719 at anyone who is like a volunteer organization. You deserve 0:19:51.800 --> 0:19:53.880 this moment in the sun. But the boss of the AEC, 0:19:55.520 --> 0:19:57.920 and yes, Scott Morrison, is the most recent former prime 0:19:57.960 --> 0:20:01.920 minister to receive the recognition, exactly the same as Kevin Right, 0:20:02.000 --> 0:20:04.200 exactly the same as Julie Gillard, exactly the same as 0:20:04.880 --> 0:20:08.000 every prime minister has ever thus got. But of course, 0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:09.800 because it's Scott Morrison, well we all know some of 0:20:09.800 --> 0:20:11.800 the reaction that was going to be to all of this. Firstly, 0:20:12.320 --> 0:20:15.440 here is the former prime minister speaking about being honored 0:20:15.480 --> 0:20:16.920 by his country on this day. 0:20:18.359 --> 0:20:21.600 I'm very humbled by the recognition and thankful to the 0:20:21.600 --> 0:20:24.840 Australian people who gave me the opportunity to serve as 0:20:24.840 --> 0:20:28.600 Prime Minister during one of the most difficult periods in 0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:29.560 Australia's history. 0:20:30.240 --> 0:20:34.040 I like him, always have, always will, regardless of electoral results, 0:20:34.040 --> 0:20:36.440 and regardless of how culture moves with or against you. 0:20:36.800 --> 0:20:38.159 I think he's a very decent man, and all the 0:20:38.160 --> 0:20:40.600 best to his wife Jenny, and these beautiful girls as well. 0:20:40.600 --> 0:20:43.960 It's a wonderful honor, but of course because it's Scott Morrison, Oh, 0:20:44.119 --> 0:20:46.560 the left will not accept it. The entire system needs 0:20:46.560 --> 0:20:49.440 to be changed. And somebody decided to write this little 0:20:49.480 --> 0:20:54.719 piece in the Channel on newspapers today, Jenna Price honoring 0:20:54.760 --> 0:20:59.520
