WEBVTT - The Late Debate | 21 May 0:00:02.200 --> 0:00:04.519 Welcome to the Late Debate. 0:00:06.680 --> 0:00:08.320 Great to have your company on the Late Debate. 0:00:08.400 --> 0:00:11.719 I'm James Macpherson with Free Leitch and Denika de Giorgio. 0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:15.840 Coming up tonight, A French Town set a new world record. 0:00:15.920 --> 0:00:18.400 But I have to say I've seen some world records 0:00:18.400 --> 0:00:18.880 in my time. 0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:21.640 This is the most bizarre world record I have ever 0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:22.160 heard of. 0:00:22.480 --> 0:00:23.680 Will fill you in shortly. 0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:26.520 Plus, when we look at what's making news in tomorrow's papers, 0:00:26.560 --> 0:00:29.880 Barnaby Joyce has his say on the coalition bust up, 0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:33.200 and there's some good news in tomorrow's papers, a breakthrough 0:00:33.280 --> 0:00:37.080 in the treatment of Alzheimer's. All of that coming up shortly. 0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:41.280 But we all know governments and banks are absolutely committed 0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:47.040 to eliminating cash. They're closing down bank branches, they're eliminating ATMs, 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:53.000 and businesses are constantly pushing the convenience of using FPOs. 0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:53.559 You know, tap and go. 0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:58.480 But one Woollongong University student, well, he's pushing back against 0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:02.640 the cashlist society in a very unique court case. Oliver 0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:06.040 Griffiths is his name, and he's refusing to use f 0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:11.160 POSS to pay for on campus parking, instead offering to 0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:15.960 pay cash and offer that the university have repeatedly ignored. 0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:18.039 This is a. 0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:20.720 Note I leave in my car for parking inspectors to 0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:23.720 know that I'm happy to pay for my parking in cash. 0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:24.600 They never read it. 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:27.880 What am I supposed to do? Cash allows me to 0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:32.000 be free economically and free individually. It allows me to 0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:36.759 have privacy. It's a moral stand against digital currency being 0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:39.800 forced on everybody. I think it's more convenient for people 0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:42.640 to pay for cash for parking. It's small change. We 0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:45.480 don't need a bulk bill our parking fees. It's ridiculous. 0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:48.680 So he's left a note in his car saying happy 0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:52.400 to pay cash. Here's my contact details. The university ignored 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:55.120 the note and instead issued him with a ninety seven 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:58.480 dollar fine. Rather than pay the fine, he's going to court. 0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:01.680 Then he's going to argue I offered to pay in cash. 0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:05.120 If the university won't accept cash, which is legal tender, 0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:07.920 well then that's a problem for them, not for me. 0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:10.360 Freyer, does he have a good argument. 0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:13.720 Here, Well, according to the H Trible C businesses don't 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:17.560 have to accept cash, but they need to tell customers 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:20.680 that in advance. So you need to be informed that 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:25.040 this is a cashless operation. Otherwise, if you give them cash, 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:28.440 they have to accept and from twenty twenty six all 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:32.440 businesses will have to accept cash for essential services. So 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:35.640 really this will come down to the technicality over whether 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:39.160 there was a disclosure statement on any of these parking 0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:42.639 signs that this was a cashless car park. If there wasn't, 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:45.400 I don't know. I reckon Oliy's got to shut here. 0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:45.799 Well. 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:48.640 It's interesting because I feel like this guy, Oliver Griffiths, 0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:50.280 is like the queen essential Australian. 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:52.840 He saw they in that video was really in that 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:56.600 the parking parking lot there it looked like it had 0:02:56.639 --> 0:02:57.200 been rating. 0:02:57.360 --> 0:03:00.120 He was out there making a stand and I I 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:03.120 really love it that he's been called now the cash King. 0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:04.960 I mean, what an absolute name. 0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:08.560 Look good on him, I say, because he does indeed 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:12.000 raise a very good point. Now, I do also think 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:14.640 that the majority of young people are not using cash, 0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:17.359 but I mean that's beside the point. What if they are. 0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:20.240 My only concern with this is is that he's been 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:23.880 fined ninety seven dollars. He's now started to go fund 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:26.560 me page. I think he's looking to raise about five 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:30.280 thousand dollars. That is a very big jump between ninety 0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:32.000 seven dollars and five. 0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:34.080 Thousand dollars just to prove a point. 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:36.520 But look, I applaud him for standing up for this 0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:38.640 because in the end he is right, He's not wrong. 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:41.640 It is still a legal tender in this country cash, 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:43.280 and I do think we forget about that because it's 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:44.720 just so easy to tap and. 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:48.240 Go these days. But it's an expensive exercise. 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:51.680 But all the power to Oliver Griffin standing out there 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:53.920 in the pouring rain trying to make his point. 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:54.360 Good on it. 0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:56.600 Well, like you said, young people are pretty o fay 0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:59.800 with using f pass or whatever. So it's going to 0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:02.320 see a young person who stirred up about the need 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:06.320 to keep cash in circulation. Imagine if he wins, though, 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:08.040 what this would mean for carpucks. Do you remember the 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:10.560 days when on toll roads or in car pucks had 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:13.680 the big basket and used to throw your coins out 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:15.080 the wind you're looking at. 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:19.640 Remember viewers will remember a big. 0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:22.120 Sort of bucket you'd throw your coins in. Although these days, 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:24.719 with inflation the way the Albanezy government is running the joint, 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:27.320 you need a wheelbaar of coins being pulled out your 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:29.120 window to pay for your parking. 0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:30.919 And I honestly think good on Ali. 0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:33.320 There are some real even though I must admit I 0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:36.080 don't remember the last time I had cash in my wallets. 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:38.960 I'm an Apple pay person through and through, but there 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:43.479 are some genuine uses for cash. Women fleeing domestic violence 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:46.599 often you know you need cash conceal payments from an 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:50.800 abusive partner potentially. Also, there are some genuine national security 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:54.680 concerns here. Our Internet system is so fragile and we've 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:57.600 seen around the world when you have blackouts. If your 0:04:57.640 --> 0:05:01.359 whole payment system is digital, it just stops your country, 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:04.960 your economy, it all stops. So being able to use cash, 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:06.640 I think is really important. 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:08.400 And of course we should point out Ollie is a 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:11.200 fourth year law student, so it's a good way to get. 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:17.240 Some exerience exactly. But moving on now to Sydney University. 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:21.360 Now you probably remember the horrendous encampments we saw at 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:24.559 the university. I was a student there at the time 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:28.520 and genuinely there were, as you can see, hundreds of 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:32.400 students who were camped at the university four months. I 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:36.080 think it lasted for up to two months, and you 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:39.520 can see the images there. You couldn't walk around campus 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:44.760 without being confronted by this. Alongside the tent encampments, there 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:49.600 were weekly protests, which I think you will also be 0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:52.839 able to see on the screen exactly, and so it 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:55.160 was a lot of chanting and it was very distressing 0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:58.280 for a lot of students. Now, there was a big 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:01.960 concern at the time that non students were coming onto campus, 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:05.839 and many people felt that the university was not taking 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:07.320 appropriate action. 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:10.279 It's now been revealed through a freedom. 0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:15.640 Of information request that the university was panicking naturally, and 0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:21.200 one of their proposed solutions was to segregate Jewish students 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:26.240 for their own safety, because they wanted away from them 0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:30.599 to avoid avoid the encampments, and they couldn't see any 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:34.800 other way other than to separate Jewish students for their 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:38.560 own good. Now, I'm not criticizing the university for trying 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:42.080 to protect Jewish students. I think that's exactly what they 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:45.560 should have been doing. But the problem here is they're 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:50.000 essentially saying your right to protest is going to trump 0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:53.360 the rights of Jewish students to be able to move 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:57.400 freely and safely around campus, and I just do not 0:06:57.600 --> 0:06:58.640 think that's right. 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.640 Sorry, Sorry, I was just going to say the way 0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:05.680 that these universities have failed Jewish students. I think never 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:09.200 ceases to amaze me. And can you honestly, genuinely imagine 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:12.120 a situation where you say, Okay, if you're Jewish, you 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:13.840 get to go through that door. I mean, if you're 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:15.920 going to do that, what if you're a black student, 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:18.280 you go through the left door. If you're Caucasian you 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:20.080 go through the right door. If you're Asian you can 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:24.000 go through the back door. I mean, in what society, 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:28.520 in what country do we segregate people based on race, 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:31.560 the color of their skin, and their religion. I think 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:34.880 this is absolutely disgusting by the University of City to 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:38.920 even have considered it, given we saw some shocking moments 0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:51.040 on campus like this one, and this is in Australia, 0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:53.640 and this is what was going on in this country, 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:54.520 and yet. 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:56.960 The board thought that the only. 0:07:56.720 --> 0:08:00.200 Way to solve the problem was to segregate Jewish students. 0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:05.960 I mean, congratulations, if you're out there chanting anti Israel sentiment, James, 0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:07.080 it pays off. 0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:09.480 Yeah, this Sidney University should be ashamed of themselves. They 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:10.360 had two choices. 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:14.720 We could shut down the racist encampment, or we could 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:18.000 just create a special entrance for Jews. So the Jews 0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:20.320 can just go over there and come into the university 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:23.600 that way, and that's the option they were tempted to 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:27.760 go with. They certainly didn't shut down the encampment like Eupreu, 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:28.760 and you saw a lot of that. 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:29.640 I went along one. 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:32.120 Day just to check it out, and I was shocked 0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:35.800 that the university would allow something like that on campus, 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:39.120 with not only university students who should be expelled in 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:41.080 my opinion, if you're going to carry on that way, 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:44.079 but allowing people from off site to come on and 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:48.120 create a situation where Jewish students were put in a 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:51.880 position where the university actually contemplated giving them a special 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:57.120 Jews only entrance to keep them safe. And I think 0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:59.520 you're being a little kind to the university by saying, well, 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:02.360 they were trying to help Jewish students. If that's the 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:04.960 best they could do, it doesn't say much for the 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:06.760 regard in which they hold Jewish students. 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:10.480 And the other thing is the riot police. This came 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:14.520 out in a Senate inquiry. The riot police offered to 0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:18.520 come onto campus to remove the protesters, but the vice 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:22.120 chancellor refused them access to the university. He said, we 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:25.000 don't need you here because he wanted to de escalate 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:27.920 the situation and he didn't want to risk violence. So 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:30.840 it's like, Okay, you've got violent people on the campus. 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:32.680 The police are offering to come in. No, no, no, 0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:36.640 we wouldn't possibly want to make the protesters, the people 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:39.439 who are breaking the rules upset, so let's just leave 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:41.280 it and move Jewish students away. 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:42.880 It's completely ridiculous. 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:44.640 Look at it from a parent point of view, right, 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:48.200 So you spend seventeen eighteen years raising your kids, and 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:49.880 the kids are the apple of your eye, and you're 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:52.720 trying to teach them to be good people and to 0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:55.280 have good character, and then you send them to university. 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:57.559 Are you more likely to send them to a university 0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:01.000 where they allow something like those encampments to go on 0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:04.559 month after month, or are you more likely to send 0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:06.360 them to a university where they say, you know what, 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:09.000 we're not tolerating this. Bring the right police in. You 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:12.520 have one ugly scene, but it's all dealt with. I'd 0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:14.640 send my kids to a university that say we're not 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:15.520 going to stand for this. 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:17.000 We'll deal with absolutely. 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:19.959 And you know, it's so bothersome that the argument from 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:22.520 the universities was always well, we don't want to infringe 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:23.280 on free speech. 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:25.959 There's a very different, big difference. 0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:29.240 Between infringing on free speech and actually when it becomes 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:31.679 dangerous when Jewish students. 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:32.439 Are going there to learn. 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:35.160 It is their freedom, it is their right as Australians 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:38.559 to go to these universities to learn and they should 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:40.680 be able to do that without feeling like their lives 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:43.600 are at risk or feeling completely unsafe. So that there's 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:45.199 a very very big difference in the way that the 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:49.520 universities have handled themselves has been absolutely appalling. But look, 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:52.000 let's move on because I've got to ask the question, 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:55.240 can nobody have fun or have a laugh these days 0:10:55.559 --> 0:11:00.920 without the perpetually outraged, always simply being outrage. Now this 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:05.600 all centers around a story with Brisbane Broncostarrhyese Walsh. Now 0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:08.840 he is currently being investigated by the club after putting 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:12.080 out a video on social media on his TikTok account. 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:13.640 He was with his mates. 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:15.280 They were having a bit of a fun and we 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:19.120 were talking two mates getting together having a laugh doing. 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:19.880 Whatever boys do. 0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:22.120 I don't know, I've got no idea what that is, 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:24.840 but the point is they were mucking around. 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:27.040 This is what he uploaded. Have a look at this. 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:45.679 Yeah, okay, two. 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:46.360 Mates having a laugh. 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:48.640 Punches is made in the face up, can we just 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:52.080 put a disclaimer? Wearing a glove for goodness sake? And 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:54.480 the guy on the floor, it didn't look like he 0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:58.360 was injured. Again, this was two mates having a laugh. 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:00.199 But the problem that I have with this is the 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:03.960 questioning from the media on this issue. Today Reese faced 0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:06.640 the media and this is what he said. 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:10.960 Have a look in his defense, just having a laugh 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:11.679 with my mate. 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:14.920 Obviously, you know we don't support violence and stuff like that. 0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:20.560 But yeah, it's not a good good look for you know, 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:23.000 myself and that or haven't trying to have. 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:25.880 A laugh and okay, trying to have a laugh. But 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:29.600 this line violence, why was violence brought up? In my opinion, 0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:32.280 that was the line that the Broncos probably said. If 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:34.400 you get asked from the media a question about this, 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:37.600 just say you do not condone violence, and push on 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:39.960 that and push on that. It's got nothing to do 0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:42.960 with violence. It happened in a private residence. It's toommates 0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:47.160 consenting to having fun. And yet apparently Reese Walsh was 0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:49.440 forced to talk about how he's working to be a 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:50.040 better person. 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:54.200 Oh, we're working really hard here to you know, obviously 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:56.480 be the best versions of ourselves and be the best 0:12:56.480 --> 0:12:59.360 footy player. So you know we're working extremely hard. We're 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:02.480 behind Madge, supporting him and you know, really excited for 0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:04.719 the journey. These are these times when it's tough, a 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:07.760 sort of the ones that you know, bring the people 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:09.160 out and see what we're really made. 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:13.240 On me, I'm so baffled as to why he's apologizing 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:13.760 for this. 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:14.600 This is ridiculous. 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:17.880 Now, the footy club this afternoon actually concluded their investigation 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:19.920 and they say that he will now need to make 0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:22.599 a donation to the black Dog Institute and not for 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:25.600 profit mental health research organization. 0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:28.199 For his actions, and he's also not. 0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:31.920 Going to be facing any further discipline reaction. Look what blokes, 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:34.080 I mean, James, what blokes haven't mucked around? I mean, 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:35.680 I don't know if you've ever punched a mate in 0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:38.680 the face like that, but you know, I just my 0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:41.720 only criticism would be, maybe don't post it on social media, 0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:43.640 maybe have a think, keep it between your mates. 0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:46.360 But seriously, come on, did he get you've met my 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:50.000 twin boys? I have so Christmas a year ago. 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:54.959 We're enjoying Christmas afternoon and they got out some boxing 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:58.319 gloves and decided to do kickboxing. So I didn punch 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:00.880 each other, but kick each other, and I filmed that. 0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:03.760 Actually I didn't upload it, so I didn't get in trouble. 0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:06.800 Boys are being boys. But the biggest insult is not 0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:09.920 to the footballer. The biggest insult is to you and 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:13.199 I the public. As if somehow the Broncos or the 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:17.240 Karens in NRL headquarters think that we don't understand the 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:21.120 difference between boys mucking around and doing what boys do. 0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:22.720 And you might not like it, and you might think 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:25.400 it was inappropriate, but that's the sort of thing that 0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:27.680 boys do when they get together. But we know the 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:31.280 difference between that and violence. So to have him come 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:34.840 and stand before the media and say I don't condone violence. 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:36.080 Should we have every. 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:38.080 Father who play fights with his kids come out and 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:42.640 say I don't condone violence. It's insulting to us. Beyond that, 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:47.360 boys will be boys. NRL players are chosen not because 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:50.360 they sit around eating SCons and drinking cups of tea. 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:52.520 NRL players they're chosen. 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:55.280 Because they run flat out at each other, into each other, 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:58.760 risking life and limb. So when they're not playing football, 0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:00.880 they're the sort of guys so who do punch each 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:03.480 other in the face for fun. That's the kind of 0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:06.640 people they are. And you speak about mental health, consider 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:08.760 the mental health of a twenty two year old kid 0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:12.920 who's dragged before the media, shamed before the media totally 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:15.760 has to say that he doesn't condone violence. 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:18.400 Whatever happened to thoughts about his mental health. 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:21.400 He's a kid who just happens to be good at football, 0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:24.400 that's his skill. But then we expect him to be 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:28.680 this otherworldly person who's not like a normal twenty two 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:31.640 year old. I mean the damage it does for him. 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:33.840 And finally, Dinika. 0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:35.280 Before a throat to you, Franks, I can see you're 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:35.720 itching to. 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:40.240 Get Can we please just take a joke these days, 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:42.840 to have some fun. 0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:46.720 Well, it's almost like the journalists creating this whole beat 0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:50.040 up have never watched a game of NRL in their lives. 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:50.720 I'm sorry. 0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:53.840 That is far more violent, far more aggressive, far more 0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:58.920 dangerous than this silly little dare with a glove on 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:01.600 with the whole group of friends laughing about it, Like, 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:04.080 come on, it's the biggest beat up ever it must 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:06.360 have been a slow news day for these journalists. 0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:07.160 Yeah, they racket. 0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:09.600 But the questions that the media were actually asking you, 0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:12.520 because I watched that for press conference, I subjected myself 0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:15.240 to it. But they were like, are you remorseful? Why 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:17.160 did you do it? Should you have done it? 0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:17.520 You know? 0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:19.560 And the guy, I mean, how many times can the 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:22.200 guy repeat himself? He had to obviously say that line, 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:25.560 we don't condone violence, We don't condone violence, because that 0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:27.720 was the line that the Broncos would have told him 0:16:27.720 --> 0:16:30.240 to say. But he's only twenty two. As you said, 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:33.120 come on, let boys be boys. The Karens of the 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:34.320 community games. 0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:36.680 I think a lot of people watch that press conference Danika, 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:38.440 because he's quite a good looking twenty. 0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:38.680 Two year old. 0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:39.280 But not bad. 0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:41.040 All right, let's move on. 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:45.440 There's a chronic shortage of male teachers in our schools 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:47.840 and maybe that's why we're having a bit of problem 0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:48.720 with boys. 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:49.760 Check out this. 0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:55.160 Australia's male teacher shortage has sparked calls for how to attract. 0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:57.640 More men into the teaching workforce. 0:16:57.800 --> 0:17:03.560 In primary schools, fe male teachers outnumber male teachers by four. 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:06.320 Hundred and fifty percent. It's in primary schools. 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:10.920 In secondary schools it's seventy percent in twenty twenty two 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:13.840 in all of New South Wales. Freyer, Guess how many 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:17.119 boys graduating from high school in twenty twenty two in 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:19.720 this state listed teaching as their number one thing they 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:20.320 wanted to do. 0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:22.200 Oh my goodness, two. 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:25.520 Hundred and ten out of it all the year twelve cohort, 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:28.320 two hundred and ten boys said teaching was their number 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:31.320 one career choice, and that was twenty four percent less 0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:35.840 than the year before. A Macquarie University study was done 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:39.240 in twenty twenty one and they said, on current projections, 0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:42.960 by twenty sixty seven, there will not be a male 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:46.160 teacher in any school in Australia if. 0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:47.200 This trend continues. 0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:51.680 Now, what's interesting is that education departments and governments right 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:54.639 around the country have plans to attract more teachers. Were 0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:57.639 all aware theneaker of the teacher shortage, and they've got 0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:00.960 plans to attract more indigenous teachers. But there's not a 0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:05.800 single plan to attract more males into teaching. 0:18:06.040 --> 0:18:08.800 I think that's a problem. What do you reckon? 0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:10.080 No, I don't think it's a problem. I don't know 0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:12.359 why we need to attract more males into teaching. In 0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:14.280 the end, I don't care if you are a male 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:16.359 or a female. I don't care who you are, as 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:18.399 long as you are the best person for the job, 0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:21.959 the best person to inspire and teach the young minds 0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:22.960 the next generation. 0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:26.639 Your gender means absolutely nothing. 0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:27.359 Let me break in. 0:18:27.640 --> 0:18:30.040 Boys and girls are different, right, and especially when they're young, 0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:31.840 they learn differently, don't you think. 0:18:31.640 --> 0:18:34.760 Okay, that's fine, and I agree in that sense, but 0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:35.720 I don't think it matters. 0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:36.879 I think it is up to the. 0:18:36.760 --> 0:18:39.800 Best person for the job, the most the best teacher 0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:42.120 for the job, James. I mean, okay, we sit around 0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:45.720 and we talk about gender quotas. Yep, Okay, we say no, 0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:48.440 we don't want gender quotas for women because that's offensive, 0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:50.639 because a woman should not get a job based on 0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:52.240 the fact that she's a woman. She should earn it 0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:54.920 through a merit and earn it through hard work. This 0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:57.000 is literally the shoe on the other foot. This is 0:18:57.040 --> 0:18:58.560 basically gender quotas for men. 0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:01.680 No one's calling for quote, I know, but no one's. 0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:02.240 Calling for quotas. 0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:04.520 But I'm saying this is a kin to saying we 0:19:04.560 --> 0:19:05.520 need more quotas. 0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:09.880 No it's a kin to saying there's a massive disparity here. 0:19:10.160 --> 0:19:12.359 And we all know that boys learn differently. We all know, 0:19:12.440 --> 0:19:15.920 especially little boys, their behavior is different. And I think 0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:18.600 any parent would know, especially if you've got boys, some 0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:22.080 male teachers in the classroom would be really, really. 0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:23.280 Harmful for their self. 0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:25.879 I would suggest that we look at attracting the best talent. 0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:28.640 There was a story recently where there are teachers going 0:19:28.680 --> 0:19:30.879
