1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: Morning, Melbourne. You are on the air with Jason. Lauren

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: Clint is here as well. Hey, coming up Probe the

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:09,559
Speaker 1: Popo our favorite segment where we get in a different

4
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:13,399
Speaker 1: area of the Victorian Police. It's just chatting with the cops.

5
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: I won't reveal what department they're from, but they're very

6
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 1: nervous about coming in this morning. And it's not because

7
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: they're chatting on the radio. They're more nervous that they're

8
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:21,479
Speaker 1: going to drop the sea word.

9
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, fair enough because they'll get ribbed from the

10
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:25,240
Speaker 2: entire Victorian Police.

11
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, we have.

12
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 3: To play Mariah Carey. I'm looking at them out the window.

13
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to be the cop going back to

14
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 1: the base after having Mariah play. But anyway, pressures.

15
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 2: On them, not us.

16
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 4: You say it will handcuff you to the chairs here, No,

17
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 4: I said, will taste them?

18
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 1: Okay, Pride the Pope.

19
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 3: It's a little aggressive coming up.

20
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 2: The under sixteen social media. Their social media Astralians are

21
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 2: ready for its rollout.

22
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 1: Help limit the impact of this content.

23
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 3: This is a policy as a set of rules to

24
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 3: keep our kids safe.

25
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: Big Day today is a father of three. I was

26
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: just going to say I am incredibly happy that we

27
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: are the first in the world to take this step.

28
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: It's not perfect.

29
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 2: It's really interesting though, because you're you got three kids, right,

30
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 2: but they're not really right in this zone yet, biggest

31
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 2: affect them.

32
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 3: But there's a parent.

33
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 2: There's the parents who are looking at this and are like, great,

34
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 2: this is going to stop my kids from entering the

35
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,199
Speaker 2: social media era early, right, they haven't got there yet.

36
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 2: There's the kids who are in it and they're having

37
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 2: it taken away, and that's a completely different ballgame. And

38
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 2: then there's the parents of the kids who are sort

39
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 2: of on the other side of it. And then of

40
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 2: course there's the kids who are actually involved. Some kids

41
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 2: are loving it, they're saying it's taking the pressure off them.

42
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 2: And other kids are saying that they're just not sure

43
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,559
Speaker 2: how they're going to go. So there's sort of mixed

44
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 2: emotions towards this. I think we all know the introduction

45
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 2: of these rules is for the greater goods, but it

46
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 2: will take time, and there a lot of frustration between kids' parents,

47
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 2: schools teaches the whole thing, and I think it's all

48
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 2: kind to one another.

49
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: And I just don't want the negativity going. Oh this

50
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: isn't going to work. A look at that. They can

51
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: still go to work. It's approached.

52
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and parents are going to have to be patient

53
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 2: as well. And parents are still going to have to parent.

54
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, well are And there's so many layers to it.

55
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 4: There's obviously the harmful content, be it videos, memes, all

56
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 4: that sort of stuff, and there's also the chat, which

57
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 4: is harmful in itself, you know, the peer pressure, the

58
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 4: horrible stories you hear online, just.

59
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 2: The constantly being available as well. That's nothing we never

60
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 2: had to.

61
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: Do with it, thank god. Jody in Geelong, good morning,

62
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: Good morning. You get a fourteen year old in the house.

63
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: How's it going down? What's your thoughts on it?

64
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 5: Yeah?

65
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 6: Not great at all. Actually, So I've got a fourteen

66
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 6: year old who's going to be heavily impacted by the band,

67
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 6: so I'm dead against it. So you're talking about a

68
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 6: generation of kids here who've grown up through COVID lockdown,

69
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 6: where social media became their only way of communicating. My daughter,

70
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 6: in particular, she's the youngest in her group of friends,

71
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 6: so she's the youngest in a year level they'll all

72
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 6: get access back to their social media, but she's going

73
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 6: to be left out of that. Most of their communicating,

74
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 6: like their group chats and everything I've done on snatchat

75
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 6: that's how they plan all their outings over the holidays.

76
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 6: Like she's got a couple of outing plans this week

77
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 6: already it was all being communicated on Snapchat, and then

78
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 6: as of today she's going to be completely out of

79
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 6: the loop. She's got friends in the group that are

80
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 6: already sixteen fourteen. It's like real social exclusion. So I'm

81
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 6: actually dead against it. I think if I had young

82
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 6: kids and I was at the other end of it

83
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 6: sung my kids, my other two are older now, but

84
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 6: if I was at like the primary school age, I'd

85
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 6: be going great.

86
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: I get it.

87
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 6: I get it in primary school. But now I'm taking

88
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 6: it away from kids that have grown up with it

89
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 6: and we depend on.

90
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 2: It so heavily.

91
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 6: I think it's going to have the opposite impact for them.

92
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 4: I sympathize, I do. But then I hear stories and

93
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 4: I just read one in the Herald Sun before a

94
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 4: fifteen year old who met someone online via a chat group.

95
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 4: He was fifty years of age. They made socials, met

96
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 4: up and she actually lost her life. She was murdered

97
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 4: at the hands of the pedophile like. You hear stories

98
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 4: like that, this is Carlie Ryan eighteen years ago and

99
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 4: if this social media band had been in place, now

100
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 4: her family say she been with us. You hear harrowing

101
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 4: stories like that. You hear kids being bullied, and that's

102
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 4: when I think, well, you know what. It might be

103
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 4: a bit messy to deal with initially, but it's.

104
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 2: Worth I do think there will be this crossover years,

105
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 2: this kind of crossover kids who were in between, and

106
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 2: like Jodi said, it is for a lot of these

107
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 2: kids who are fourteen and fifteen. They're the kids who

108
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 2: really got on socials a really complicated time that the

109
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 2: world was going through when everyone was disconnected and it

110
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 2: was the only way to say say together and social

111
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 2: media actually did save a lot of times so they

112
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 2: didn't feel isolated. So I think this is a really

113
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 2: complex situation for the kids in that so feel.

114
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: I so feel for those kids and those parents of

115
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 1: that bracket will be hard.

116
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 3: H I don't think anyone thinks they're going to get

117
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 3: it right overnight.

118
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 1: The other talk is all the ways to get around this.

119
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: Kath your twelve.

120
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, Hey kath Now you're twelve, what

121
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 2: social media platforms.

122
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 3: Are you on or were you on? Before today?

123
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 5: I was on YouTube and they were gonna add this

124
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 5: other game that I think most of kids in my

125
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 5: age group are on Richard's Roadblox. And I remember growing

126
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 5: up with YouTube, and I remember the first time when

127
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 5: I was on YouTube Kids and I finally got YouTube

128
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 5: because there's just a lot more on them to like

129
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 5: watch and more things that like, like my age group

130
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 5: would want to watch rather than YouTube Kids.

131
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 2: Because does YouTube kids feel a bit young for you? Yeah,

132
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,239
Speaker 2: you're in that YouTube team be tween.

133
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 3: We need.

134
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's like there's like a few things that people

135
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 5: would want to watch on YouTube Kids, but like there's

136
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 5: not much. Most of it's kind of like younger kids.

137
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 5: Bobby Dolphin, Yeah.

138
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah. So Cath have you have you used any

139
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 4: social media to chat to your friends?

140
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 5: I use Messenger kids, so not really or I use

141
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 5: messages And.

142
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 2: How do you feel about the social media Like you

143
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 2: can't get on Instagram or snapchatl any of those things

144
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 2: till you're sixteen. How do you think that's a good idea?

145
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 5: Well, not really because as much as it does help

146
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 5: from kids like who do get like that content that

147
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 5: isn't like good for them. There is a lot of

148
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 5: stuff out there that is like good to watch.

149
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, and hey, Kat, have the school at school? Have

150
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 2: they explained to you how it's going to work and

151
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 2: what's going to happen.

152
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 5: No, because we do sometimes like use YouTube for like

153
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 5: tutorials on like how to draw or like how to

154
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 5: like make this craft for like whatever it is.

155
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 4: Seem can use them on YouTube kids?

156
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: Can you not all of them? It's really weird. And

157
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: then I'll be honest sometimes I've seen the boys watching

158
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: something on YouTube kids, and I'm like, that's that. It

159
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: shouldn't got thrue. It just took a point on that

160
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: roadblocks the gaming roads. It's like a it's a gaming

161
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: app where people create games and upload it and kids

162
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: will play all the games on there. They were can

163
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: still game, they can still gain. They were looking at

164
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: eliminating the chat element that's on there because they can

165
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: actually go into chat. And I can tell you firsthand,

166
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: I've looked over the shoulder of my boys and seen

167
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: creepy stuff said and that it was terrifying.

168
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 2: But you get also that it doesn't just mean that

169
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 2: now the government's taken over. Parents wash their hands not

170
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 2: at all after their kids as well.

171
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: If anything, it feels like we've got a bit of

172
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: backup in the argument.

173
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're on it, you're on the same side.

174
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: Just really quickly.

175
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 4: Liliana's ten, Liliana, you think this is good?

176
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh yeah, I think it's pretty good.

177
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 2: Why is that?

178
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 5: Because I've seen my little brother who's sick. He's watching

179
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 5: like stuff that is not suppose he doesn't even realize it.

180
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 5: My dad goes to call him.

181
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, well there you go, lilone.

182
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 2: Hopefully this protects you and protects a little brother.

183
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: She pretects a lot of shit head on her shoulders.

184
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 3: Well, that's the thing.

185
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 2: I think that that younger generation of kids will get it. Well,

186
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 2: they won't even.

187
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 3: It's taking it away from the ones who are on.

188
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 2: It, which is where I think a huge amount of complexity,

189
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 2: and hopefully the schools and everyone is equipped to deal.

190
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 3: With that stuff.

191
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 2: So because like, seriously, there will be kids who think

192
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 2: they're having withdrawals from this stuff.

193
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: The other day, we were driving home and I'm waiting

194
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: to merge, right, so I've looked right, just me looking right,

195
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: I'm not looking like face forward in the car. So

196
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: one of the boys took that opportunity to quickly grab

197
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: my phone out of the center consopt and I was like,

198
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: I turned back. I'm like, what are you doing, You're

199
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: on my phone. I just I just want to kill Time.

200
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 4: Three like a reflex.

201
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're drug addicts. It's unbelievable.

202
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 2: So I think there will be a really interesting stage

203
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 2: of withdrawal and everyone needs to really look out for

204
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 2: each other.

205
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 4: World is watching us, yeah, which is which is sort

206
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 4: of quite cool as well. We could be the trendsetters

207
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 4: Jason Lauren Lauren wake up feeling good following them on

208
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:09,720
