So 15 00:00:52,974 --> 00:00:55,214 Speaker 1: where do we draw the line?

The Weekend Australian is 23 00:01:16,574 --> 00:01:20,294 Speaker 1: reporting that the Liberal Party has approached Republican strategists to 24 00:01:20,454 --> 00:01:23,654 Speaker 1: understand what part of their strategies worked for Trump, who 25 00:01:23,654 --> 00:01:26,814 Speaker 1: secured a decisive win over Kamla Harris and the Democrats. 26 00:01:27,134 --> 00:01:30,614 Speaker 1: Australian mining billionaire Jeina ryan Hart, who attended Trump's celebration 27 00:01:30,734 --> 00:01:33,894 Speaker 1: party in Florida last week, reportedly told a friend that 28 00:01:33,934 --> 00:01:36,174 Speaker 1: she would like to see Australia watch and learn from 29 00:01:36,174 --> 00:01:39,574 Speaker 1: mister Trump and his full throttle rejection of all things left. 30 00:01:39,934 --> 00:01:43,094 Speaker 1: Mister Dutton has already started referring to a Trump campaign 31 00:01:43,174 --> 00:01:45,814 Speaker 1: slogan asking if you feel you're better off than you 32 00:01:45,894 --> 00:01:48,854 Speaker 1: were four years ago. The cost of living crisis has 33 00:01:48,894 --> 00:01:52,014 Speaker 1: impacted millions of Australians and is expected to see the 34 00:01:52,054 --> 00:01:54,814 Speaker 1: country shift to a more conservative preference at the next 35 00:01:54,854 --> 00:01:57,694 Speaker 1: election in the hopes a change of government will change 36 00:01:57,734 --> 00:02:01,974 Speaker 1: their financial situation. Depending on who you believe, either Donald 37 00:02:01,974 --> 00:02:05,454 Speaker 1: Trump has spoken to Russian leader Vladimir Putin or he hasn't. 38 00:02:05,814 --> 00:02:09,454 Speaker 1: The Washington Post reported, citing anonymous sources, that Trump to 39 00:02:09,534 --> 00:02:11,734 Speaker 1: look a call from Putin while at his home in Florida. 40 00:02:11,774 --> 00:02:15,454 Speaker 1: On Thursday last week, reportedly asking the Russian leader not 41 00:02:15,574 --> 00:02:19,454 Speaker 1: to escalate the war with Ukraine.

This is pure fiction. It's just false information. 44 00:02:27,454 --> 00:02:30,174 Speaker 1: He said, there was no conversation, pointing out that this 45 00:02:30,214 --> 00:02:33,014 Speaker 1: is an obvious example of the quality of information that's 46 00:02:33,054 --> 00:02:37,814 Speaker 1: being published now, sometimes even in fairly reputable publications. Meanwhile, 47 00:02:37,934 --> 00:02:41,534 Speaker 1: Ukraine says its military is battling fifty thousand troops inside 48 00:02:41,574 --> 00:02:45,494 Speaker 1: Russia's Kursk region, while also scrambling to reinforce fronts in 49 00:02:45,534 --> 00:02:48,454 Speaker 1: the east and bracing to meet an infantry assault in 50 00:02:48,494 --> 00:02:51,294 Speaker 1: the south.

The show, which was 76 00:04:13,374 --> 00:04:15,934 Speaker 1: a follow on of sixteen seasons of the reality show 77 00:04:15,974 --> 00:04:20,014 Speaker 1: making the team exposed pay inequalities between the football players 78 00:04:20,054 --> 00:04:23,094 Speaker 1: and the cheerleading squad, revealing they do it for love, 79 00:04:23,254 --> 00:04:26,054 Speaker 1: despite dedicating much of their time outside of their paying 80 00:04:26,134 --> 00:04:29,574 Speaker 1: jobs to the team, helping the franchise make a huge profit. 81 00:04:29,894 --> 00:04:31,734 Speaker 1: It also showed how the women on the team are 82 00:04:31,774 --> 00:04:34,974 Speaker 1: sometimes exposed to obsessed fans and how their bodies are 83 00:04:35,014 --> 00:04:38,494 Speaker 1: damaged by the routines they perform. That's What's happening in 84 00:04:38,494 --> 00:04:41,174 Speaker 1: the world today.

Or are we sheltering young men who 87 00:04:47,374 --> 00:05:02,814 Speaker 1: have every right to make that decision for themselves. A 88 00:05:02,854 --> 00:05:06,694 Speaker 1: major controversy has erupted over British Only Fans creator Bonnie 89 00:05:06,694 --> 00:05:10,654 Speaker 1: Blues planned visit to Australia's Gold Coast school librations, where 90 00:05:10,694 --> 00:05:14,054 Speaker 1: she intended to film explicit content with, as she put it, 91 00:05:14,454 --> 00:05:18,734 Speaker 1: barely legal eighteen year old school leavers. This isn't Blue's 92 00:05:18,774 --> 00:05:23,054 Speaker 1: first controversial venture. She previously conducted similar activities during spring 93 00:05:23,094 --> 00:05:27,374 Speaker 1: break in Cancun and at UK universities. During one UK event, 94 00:05:27,534 --> 00:05:30,374 Speaker 1: she claimed students waited in line for over eight hours 95 00:05:30,414 --> 00:05:33,174 Speaker 1: to participate. Some of them were virgins. 96 00:05:33,574 --> 00:05:34,454 Speaker 5: They're so nervous. 97 00:05:34,574 --> 00:05:36,454 Speaker 4: Yeah, I could imagine holding their idea of that. 98 00:05:36,574 --> 00:05:36,934 Speaker 6: She can. 99 00:05:37,014 --> 00:05:39,134 Speaker 5: They're kind of sun on standard forms. It's looking like 100 00:05:39,174 --> 00:05:41,774 Speaker 5: I'm literally holding them like to that. Well, but I 101 00:05:41,814 --> 00:05:43,254 Speaker 5: can understand why they'd be nervous. 102 00:05:43,774 --> 00:05:44,454 Speaker 7: They don't know me. 103 00:05:44,614 --> 00:05:46,934 Speaker 5: They've just queued up for hours on l All they 104 00:05:46,934 --> 00:05:48,254 Speaker 5: know is that I'm video in it and they don't 105 00:05:48,294 --> 00:05:49,054 Speaker 5: know what to expect. 106 00:05:50,814 --> 00:05:53,894 Speaker 1: Blue, along with Australian Nini Fans creator Annie Knight, had 107 00:05:53,894 --> 00:05:56,974 Speaker 1: announced their intention to invite young male's school leavers to 108 00:05:57,014 --> 00:06:00,854 Speaker 1: participate in adult content creation. The pair emphasized that they 109 00:06:00,854 --> 00:06:05,494 Speaker 1: would implement strict protocols, including ID verification, consent forms, and 110 00:06:05,574 --> 00:06:09,494 Speaker 1: sobriety tests. Blue defended her approach, stating that participants were 111 00:06:09,694 --> 00:06:12,654 Speaker 1: need to sign forms confirming they hadn't consumed alcohol or 112 00:06:12,734 --> 00:06:16,774 Speaker 1: drugs in the previous twenty four hours. The content creator 113 00:06:16,814 --> 00:06:20,414 Speaker 1: reportedly earns millions from filming this explicit content, and while 114 00:06:20,454 --> 00:06:23,734 Speaker 1: school these participants wouldn't be charged for their encounter with her, 115 00:06:24,094 --> 00:06:26,974 Speaker 1: they also wouldn't receive payment for their appearance in videos either, 116 00:06:27,294 --> 00:06:30,894 Speaker 1: and those videos would be monetized on her platform. Blue 117 00:06:30,934 --> 00:06:33,854 Speaker 1: and her supporters argue that their plan breaks no laws, 118 00:06:33,974 --> 00:06:37,214 Speaker 1: saying participants are legally adults who can make their own decisions, 119 00:06:37,534 --> 00:06:41,054 Speaker 1: that strict consent and verification processes are in place. 120 00:06:41,614 --> 00:06:43,174 Speaker 2: So for all the comments saying I should be in 121 00:06:43,214 --> 00:06:45,574 Speaker 2: prison or I'm going to be arrested for this, the 122 00:06:45,654 --> 00:06:48,654 Speaker 2: fights I even state in the center's fairly legal and 123 00:06:48,734 --> 00:06:51,014 Speaker 2: the main word be illegal And what are you going 124 00:06:51,054 --> 00:06:54,494 Speaker 2: to arrest me for? So payofficers came my way. 125 00:06:55,134 --> 00:06:57,254 Speaker 1: They compare the other things men at this age can 126 00:06:57,374 --> 00:07:00,414 Speaker 1: participate in. Bonnie telling a Sydney breakfast radio show that 127 00:07:00,414 --> 00:07:03,174 Speaker 1: at eighteen people can join the military and vote, So 128 00:07:03,174 --> 00:07:05,654 Speaker 1: why can't they decide to engage in sexual relations for 129 00:07:05,734 --> 00:07:07,094 Speaker 1: content creation purposes. 130 00:07:07,414 --> 00:07:09,734 Speaker 7: I'm just focused on pleasure, Like I don't understand what 131 00:07:09,774 --> 00:07:11,574 Speaker 7: I do is out there, But sex is focused on 132 00:07:11,574 --> 00:07:12,094 Speaker 7: one thing. 133 00:07:12,374 --> 00:07:13,534 Speaker 4: It's pleasure and enjoyment. 134 00:07:13,654 --> 00:07:15,774 Speaker 7: And if there's eighteen year olds, like I've said before, 135 00:07:15,774 --> 00:07:18,014 Speaker 7: they can sign up to the army, they can dream. Yeah, 136 00:07:18,014 --> 00:07:19,654 Speaker 7: we seem to pick and choose when we like to 137 00:07:19,654 --> 00:07:21,614 Speaker 7: speak down to eighteen years, I was going, oh my god, 138 00:07:21,654 --> 00:07:22,294 Speaker 7: there are any a child. 139 00:07:22,334 --> 00:07:23,614 Speaker 4: I can't seek with them. We don't know what to do. 140 00:07:23,694 --> 00:07:25,894 Speaker 7: And if they was to commit a crime. It's sortinly. 141 00:07:26,094 --> 00:07:27,654 Speaker 7: They're eighteen, they know what they're doing. 142 00:07:29,414 --> 00:07:32,814 Speaker 1: They also say the backlash stems from societal stigma around 143 00:07:32,894 --> 00:07:36,814 Speaker 1: sex work. Blue says she's operating within legal boundaries, stating, 144 00:07:36,934 --> 00:07:40,094 Speaker 1: I receive backlash for sleeping with barely legal eighteen year olds, 145 00:07:40,254 --> 00:07:43,174 Speaker 1: but the keyword in that sentence is legal. Others argue 146 00:07:43,214 --> 00:07:45,974 Speaker 1: it's the use of the words barey that changes everything. 147 00:07:46,574 --> 00:07:49,854 Speaker 1: Miss Pony is the chief executive officer at the Scarlet Alliance, 148 00:07:49,894 --> 00:07:53,774 Speaker 1: the Australian Sex Workers Association. Miss how does Bonnie Blue's 149 00:07:53,774 --> 00:07:56,574 Speaker 1: schoolies plan sit with the sex worker community? And I 150 00:07:56,614 --> 00:07:59,134 Speaker 1: know you don't represent every single person in that community, 151 00:07:59,334 --> 00:08:01,134 Speaker 1: but in general, how's it been received? 152 00:08:01,854 --> 00:08:02,054 Speaker 8: You know? 153 00:08:02,094 --> 00:08:05,374 Speaker 6: I think for sex workers, we're really concerned about the 154 00:08:05,414 --> 00:08:10,334 Speaker 6: media vilification that's been whipped up around Bonnie blue plans. 155 00:08:10,894 --> 00:08:14,254 Speaker 6: As sex workers, we live with the impacts of stigma 156 00:08:14,294 --> 00:08:17,814 Speaker 6: and discrimination every day, and it seems that the media 157 00:08:17,854 --> 00:08:21,654 Speaker 6: reporting around this and the public's reaction is really just 158 00:08:22,174 --> 00:08:28,254 Speaker 6: reinforcing those negative stereotypes. For the plan itself. Bonnie Blues 159 00:08:28,294 --> 00:08:32,614 Speaker 6: come out explaining the verification procedures and these are regular 160 00:08:32,734 --> 00:08:36,454 Speaker 6: verification procedures that happen in porn sets around the world, 161 00:08:37,014 --> 00:08:40,334 Speaker 6: and we don't agree with the media narrative that it's 162 00:08:40,734 --> 00:08:45,134 Speaker 6: exploiting young or vulnerable people. These are sexual acts between 163 00:08:45,134 --> 00:08:48,654 Speaker 6: consenting adults. These are the kinds of things that sex 164 00:08:48,694 --> 00:08:53,294 Speaker 6: workers negotiate every day at work. But our concerns are 165 00:08:53,334 --> 00:08:57,254 Speaker 6: primarily with the vilification that's been come up around it. 166 00:08:57,254 --> 00:08:59,694 Speaker 1: It's interesting because it seems like maybe your community might 167 00:08:59,734 --> 00:09:02,614 Speaker 1: be divided, just like the general community is about this, 168 00:09:02,694 --> 00:09:06,774 Speaker 1: because the organizers of the adult industry Choice Awards stripped 169 00:09:06,854 --> 00:09:09,934 Speaker 1: Bonnie Blue of all her awards and then condemned plan, 170 00:09:10,094 --> 00:09:12,814 Speaker 1: saying that they don't condone behavior that seems to exploit 171 00:09:12,854 --> 00:09:16,014 Speaker 1: young adults or those who may not be fully developed. Yet, 172 00:09:16,134 --> 00:09:18,454 Speaker 1: are you finding that there are people sort of creating 173 00:09:18,454 --> 00:09:20,534 Speaker 1: those two camps the way that we've been seeing amongst 174 00:09:20,534 --> 00:09:22,734 Speaker 1: the people who have been reading about these stories. 175 00:09:23,094 --> 00:09:25,614 Speaker 6: You know, the sex work industry is diverse, and there's 176 00:09:25,654 --> 00:09:28,534 Speaker 6: always going to be a diverse range of opinions. I 177 00:09:28,574 --> 00:09:32,134 Speaker 6: would say I'm disappointed with what the Choice Awards decided 178 00:09:32,174 --> 00:09:35,054 Speaker 6: to do, but that's for them to decide. But as 179 00:09:35,094 --> 00:09:40,574 Speaker 6: the peak body representing sex workers, our perspective is primarily 180 00:09:40,614 --> 00:09:45,574 Speaker 6: concerned with the vilification and the stigma that's being whipped. 181 00:09:45,294 --> 00:09:47,694 Speaker 1: Up mish, what would you say to parents who are 182 00:09:47,814 --> 00:09:49,894 Speaker 1: terrified that they're sending their children off to the Gold 183 00:09:49,894 --> 00:09:52,094 Speaker 1: Coast to be exploited or that they're going to ruin 184 00:09:52,134 --> 00:09:55,574 Speaker 1: their future prospects. What advice would you have for parents 185 00:09:55,574 --> 00:09:57,134 Speaker 1: who are really concerned right now? 186 00:09:57,494 --> 00:10:01,534 Speaker 6: As sex workers, Bonnie and myself and all other sex 187 00:10:01,574 --> 00:10:05,094 Speaker 6: workers do have that lived experience of you know, what 188 00:10:05,174 --> 00:10:08,014 Speaker 6: does it mean for your image to live on the internet. 189 00:10:08,294 --> 00:10:11,694 Speaker 6: So it's not that we're going into this blind and 190 00:10:11,814 --> 00:10:16,174 Speaker 6: don't know that repercussions ourselves. For myself, I visit your 191 00:10:16,174 --> 00:10:18,974 Speaker 6: world where it actually doesn't matter. If there's an image 192 00:10:19,014 --> 00:10:21,854 Speaker 6: or video of you naked having sex on the internet, 193 00:10:21,934 --> 00:10:27,174 Speaker 6: that shouldn't impact your future employment prospects. But unfortunately we 194 00:10:27,254 --> 00:10:29,574 Speaker 6: live in a world where it does. But I think 195 00:10:29,854 --> 00:10:34,694 Speaker 6: eighteen year olds and above they're not completely ignorant to 196 00:10:34,774 --> 00:10:37,294 Speaker 6: the facts or the realities of the world, and parents 197 00:10:37,334 --> 00:10:41,814 Speaker 6: should have those honest, frank conversations with their children in 198 00:10:41,854 --> 00:10:45,694 Speaker 6: a non stigmatizing way that if this is the route 199 00:10:45,774 --> 00:10:48,774 Speaker 6: you choose to go down, these are the potential impacts 200 00:10:49,174 --> 00:10:52,454 Speaker 6: in your life. It's not ideal and it's not something 201 00:10:52,494 --> 00:10:57,054 Speaker 6: that we should accept as okay. But the fact is 202 00:10:57,094 --> 00:11:00,574 Speaker 6: there is still stigma and discrimination against people who engage 203 00:11:00,574 --> 00:11:01,174 Speaker 6: in sex work. 204 00:11:02,494 --> 00:11:06,254 Speaker 1: Critics, including child safety experts and local officials, have raised 205 00:11:06,294 --> 00:11:10,094 Speaker 1: serious concerns. Thousands of Australians signed a petition calling for 206 00:11:10,134 --> 00:11:12,454 Speaker 1: Blue to be banned from the country, and it appears 207 00:11:12,494 --> 00:11:15,614 Speaker 1: their efforts have succeeded, as reports indicate the Department of 208 00:11:15,654 --> 00:11:19,254 Speaker 1: Home Affairs has canceled her twelve month tourist visa, citing 209 00:11:19,294 --> 00:11:23,734 Speaker 1: potential violations of visa work restrictions. Gold Coast Mayor Tom 210 00:11:23,774 --> 00:11:27,654 Speaker 1: Tate warned young men about potential long term consequences, emphasizing 211 00:11:27,694 --> 00:11:32,094 Speaker 1: that digital content can persist indefinitely and impact future career prospects. 212 00:11:32,494 --> 00:11:37,494 Speaker 8: For these cougars to get on to young men who 213 00:11:37,534 --> 00:11:42,814 Speaker 8: are vulnerable, the adrenalines pumping we're all young ones and 214 00:11:43,734 --> 00:11:46,734 Speaker 8: enticing them to do mistakes that will be on social 215 00:11:46,774 --> 00:11:50,934 Speaker 8: media forever and at the moment they don't understand that. 216 00:11:51,294 --> 00:11:54,934 Speaker 8: They don't know that in twenty years when they're going 217 00:11:55,014 --> 00:11:58,974 Speaker 8: to stand up to be a justice of the Supreme Court, 218 00:11:59,534 --> 00:12:03,654 Speaker 8: that they've got this digital video when there were eighteen 219 00:12:03,814 --> 00:12:04,534 Speaker 8: hanging around. 220 00:12:05,014 --> 00:12:08,534 Speaker 1: But as miss explained earlier, things like sextortion or impacted 221 00:12:08,534 --> 00:12:12,294 Speaker 1: future employment aspects wouldn't exist if the stigma around sex 222 00:12:12,334 --> 00:12:15,974 Speaker 1: work and sex in general wasn't there. Child safety expert 223 00:12:16,054 --> 00:12:19,294 Speaker 1: Christy mcvee highlights the gender double standard, noting that if 224 00:12:19,294 --> 00:12:22,494 Speaker 1: a male created targeted barely legal young women, the public 225 00:12:22,534 --> 00:12:26,054 Speaker 1: reaction would be far more severe. Christy Bonnie Blew in 226 00:12:26,094 --> 00:12:28,534 Speaker 1: her offsider Anny Knight, say, these manner of legal age, 227 00:12:28,574 --> 00:12:30,614 Speaker 1: so they should be able to make their own choices. 228 00:12:30,734 --> 00:12:32,774 Speaker 1: Why isn't that where we draw the line? 229 00:12:33,214 --> 00:12:35,854 Speaker 3: Well, just I mean, she keeps making argument that it's 230 00:12:35,974 --> 00:12:38,694 Speaker 3: legally okay and that they're legal, but is it morally 231 00:12:38,694 --> 00:12:40,854 Speaker 3: and ethically okay? Well, I don't see it like that 232 00:12:41,054 --> 00:12:44,054 Speaker 3: because of the fact that for her, this is her 233 00:12:44,134 --> 00:12:46,454 Speaker 3: business and this is how she makes money, and she's 234 00:12:46,534 --> 00:12:50,334 Speaker 3: exploiting young people and their lack of experience, their lack 235 00:12:50,374 --> 00:12:53,254 Speaker 3: of world knowledge, their lack of critical thinking, And I'm 236 00:12:53,294 --> 00:12:54,614 Speaker 3: not really okay with that. 237 00:12:55,254 --> 00:12:58,494 Speaker 1: What about the argument that she is actually teaching these 238 00:12:58,534 --> 00:13:02,174 Speaker 1: young men about consent and about safe sexual practices where 239 00:13:02,734 --> 00:13:06,334 Speaker 1: they are sometimes accessing this information from some pretty dubious 240 00:13:06,414 --> 00:13:10,094 Speaker 1: pornography that we know that they're accessing there be a 241 00:13:10,134 --> 00:13:12,654 Speaker 1: situation where this might be a healthy choice for them. 242 00:13:12,974 --> 00:13:16,774 Speaker 3: I don't see how when I mean from all accounts, 243 00:13:17,014 --> 00:13:21,214 Speaker 3: she's called this genre of adult content as lucrative because 244 00:13:21,334 --> 00:13:25,494 Speaker 3: as we know, the teen category on adult content is 245 00:13:25,574 --> 00:13:30,014 Speaker 3: the highest search actual genre. And therefore she's actually adding 246 00:13:30,054 --> 00:13:32,974 Speaker 3: to the problem white background in child abuse. As a 247 00:13:33,054 --> 00:13:36,294 Speaker 3: child abuse detective and as an advocate, now we see 248 00:13:36,334 --> 00:13:41,374 Speaker 3: that basically this is where we're seeing exploitation of young people, 249 00:13:41,454 --> 00:13:44,454 Speaker 3: abuse of young people, and she's adding to that problem. 250 00:13:44,974 --> 00:13:48,174 Speaker 3: She's actually getting money from this. How can she see 251 00:13:48,214 --> 00:13:51,934 Speaker 3: this as a way to teach young people about consent 252 00:13:52,094 --> 00:13:55,694 Speaker 3: when it's so clinical and they're more than their parts, 253 00:13:55,734 --> 00:13:57,894 Speaker 3: They're more than their genitols, if you know what I mean, 254 00:13:58,214 --> 00:14:01,654 Speaker 3: and men, or especially young men, are more than what 255 00:14:01,774 --> 00:14:03,734 Speaker 3: they can give her and what they can do for her. 256 00:14:03,814 --> 00:14:06,814 Speaker 3: I think it's setting a really dangerous precedent. But she's 257 00:14:06,854 --> 00:14:08,814 Speaker 3: not the only one who does this. We actually have 258 00:14:08,854 --> 00:14:12,374 Speaker 3: Australian only fans creators who are doing this as well. 259 00:14:12,414 --> 00:14:16,054 Speaker 3: And from my perspective, I call out people exploiting young 260 00:14:16,054 --> 00:14:18,894 Speaker 3: people in all ways, shapes or forms. I call out 261 00:14:18,894 --> 00:14:21,854 Speaker 3: predatory behaviors in red flags all the time. This is 262 00:14:21,974 --> 00:14:24,054 Speaker 3: just another one of those cases. 263 00:14:24,214 --> 00:14:26,414 Speaker 1: You mentioned that if the gender roles were reversed that 264 00:14:26,454 --> 00:14:29,174 Speaker 1: there would be so much more of an outcry. But 265 00:14:29,254 --> 00:14:32,494 Speaker 1: are we seeing this with other OnlyFans content creators. Are 266 00:14:32,534 --> 00:14:35,014 Speaker 1: there men who are doing similar things to what Bonnie 267 00:14:35,054 --> 00:14:35,654 Speaker 1: Blue is doing? 268 00:14:36,254 --> 00:14:39,294 Speaker 3: This type of exploitation happens all the time. I guess 269 00:14:39,334 --> 00:14:42,734 Speaker 3: from Bonnie Blue and A Knight and whoever is creating 270 00:14:42,774 --> 00:14:45,494 Speaker 3: this content, they're being honest about it. This actually happens 271 00:14:45,494 --> 00:14:47,574 Speaker 3: a lot more in the shadows where we don't see it. 272 00:14:47,974 --> 00:14:51,174 Speaker 3: But I just think that we can't be okay with 273 00:14:51,214 --> 00:14:53,694 Speaker 3: the fact that, you know, nearly thirty year old women 274 00:14:54,054 --> 00:14:57,374 Speaker 3: are having sex and exploiting young people, and they don't 275 00:14:57,374 --> 00:14:59,734 Speaker 3: have any control over what happens with that content once 276 00:14:59,774 --> 00:15:00,494 Speaker 3: it's created. 277 00:15:01,174 --> 00:15:03,334 Speaker 1: What message might you have for young men who are 278 00:15:03,374 --> 00:15:05,534 Speaker 1: headed to SCHOOLI is this weekend because there's been a 279 00:15:05,534 --> 00:15:08,454 Speaker 1: lot of emphasis on parents and what parents can do 280 00:15:08,614 --> 00:15:11,574 Speaker 1: to help get their kids ready. But what message do 281 00:15:11,614 --> 00:15:14,174 Speaker 1: you have for young men who might be looking at 282 00:15:14,174 --> 00:15:15,614 Speaker 1: this as a great opportunity. 283 00:15:16,094 --> 00:15:18,574 Speaker 3: I would say to them, know you're worth like you're 284 00:15:18,614 --> 00:15:21,614 Speaker 3: worth more than that ten fifteen to twenty minutes of 285 00:15:21,894 --> 00:15:24,374 Speaker 3: experience with her. They are going to cash in and 286 00:15:24,414 --> 00:15:28,574 Speaker 3: get that money from However, long that content's online, you 287 00:15:28,694 --> 00:15:31,054 Speaker 3: no longer have any control over it. You know, have 288 00:15:31,174 --> 00:15:34,454 Speaker 3: a serious think about who you are and what you 289 00:15:34,494 --> 00:15:37,814 Speaker 3: stand for. Basically, my good friend, Harrison James says, you know, 290 00:15:38,374 --> 00:15:41,654 Speaker 3: men and young men especially, you know, they value their 291 00:15:41,694 --> 00:15:44,814 Speaker 3: worth on how virile they are and how manly they are. 292 00:15:44,854 --> 00:15:47,294 Speaker 3: But does this make you an actual man? And think 293 00:15:47,294 --> 00:15:49,734 Speaker 3: about the why of why you would do this and 294 00:15:49,894 --> 00:15:52,134 Speaker 3: if you did go and do it for instance, and 295 00:15:52,254 --> 00:15:54,814 Speaker 3: I'm speaking directly to those young men, think about what 296 00:15:54,854 --> 00:15:57,374 Speaker 3: it's worth to you. You know, it's not just worth 297 00:15:57,414 --> 00:15:59,894 Speaker 3: that ten fifteen to twenty minutes. What about the fact 298 00:15:59,934 --> 00:16:02,094 Speaker 3: that she's going to cash in you should be cashing 299 00:16:02,134 --> 00:16:02,614 Speaker 3: in as well. 300 00:16:04,054 --> 00:16:07,414 Speaker 1: Harrison James, a child sexual abuse survivor and activist, describe 301 00:16:07,414 --> 00:16:10,974 Speaker 1: the situation as deeply alarming, wanting to power imbalances and 302 00:16:11,014 --> 00:16:15,134 Speaker 1: potential exploitation. Writing for Mamma Mia, James explains that true 303 00:16:15,174 --> 00:16:19,174 Speaker 1: consent becomes questionable when there's such a significant power differential 304 00:16:19,214 --> 00:16:23,214 Speaker 1: between parties, saying this isn't just another headline grabbing controversy, 305 00:16:23,574 --> 00:16:26,734 Speaker 1: it's a stark reminder of how exploitation can be normalized 306 00:16:26,774 --> 00:16:29,654 Speaker 1: and overlooked, and why we need to address it urgently. 307 00:16:30,134 --> 00:16:31,814 Speaker 1: You can find a link to that article in our 308 00:16:31,854 --> 00:16:36,574 Speaker 1: show notes. This controversy has sparked a larger debate about 309 00:16:36,574 --> 00:16:41,414 Speaker 1: consent exploitation and the commercialization of young people's sexuality. While 310 00:16:41,454 --> 00:16:44,694 Speaker 1: Blue maintains she's providing education about safe sex and consent, 311 00:16:45,094 --> 00:16:48,494 Speaker 1: critics argue she's exploiting vulnerable young people at a transitional 312 00:16:48,494 --> 00:16:52,654 Speaker 1: moment in their lives. Bonnie, why is the term barely legal? 313 00:16:52,934 --> 00:16:55,334 Speaker 1: It does make it sound more predatory. Why say that 314 00:16:55,454 --> 00:16:58,414 Speaker 1: and not encourage grown mental appear in your videos instead? 315 00:16:59,094 --> 00:17:02,774 Speaker 7: There's multiple reasons, one of which the media originally gives 316 00:17:02,854 --> 00:17:04,894 Speaker 7: me that title. So if they're going to use that 317 00:17:04,974 --> 00:17:07,374 Speaker 7: title and label it that way, I might as well 318 00:17:07,454 --> 00:17:08,334 Speaker 7: use it to my benefit. 319 00:17:08,454 --> 00:17:10,254 Speaker 4: Rather than thinking, oh my gosh, I'm going to show. 320 00:17:10,054 --> 00:17:12,894 Speaker 7: Away from the fact they've just used the term barely legal, 321 00:17:13,614 --> 00:17:15,254 Speaker 7: I'm going to use it to my advantage. 322 00:17:15,454 --> 00:17:16,894 Speaker 4: So that's one of the reasons. 323 00:17:17,174 --> 00:17:20,814 Speaker 7: Another reason is in the industry, I'm in keeen has 324 00:17:20,974 --> 00:17:23,734 Speaker 7: been a very highly searched category for a very long 325 00:17:23,734 --> 00:17:26,414 Speaker 7: amount of time, and I'm a businesswoman at the end 326 00:17:26,454 --> 00:17:28,374 Speaker 7: of the day, and I'm going to capitalize on what's 327 00:17:28,374 --> 00:17:29,774 Speaker 7: going to make me the most money. 328 00:17:30,494 --> 00:17:35,814 Speaker 1: Should we be capitalizing on something that might be slightly problematic? Though, Bonnie, 329 00:17:35,814 --> 00:17:38,254 Speaker 1: you know this idea of like targeting teens, it does 330 00:17:38,454 --> 00:17:41,174 Speaker 1: feel a bit predatory even if people are over eighteen. 331 00:17:41,534 --> 00:17:43,654 Speaker 1: Do you think that, you know, if teens is the 332 00:17:43,694 --> 00:17:45,894 Speaker 1: most search category, should we be encouraging that? 333 00:17:46,374 --> 00:17:49,414 Speaker 4: Is nothing wrong with it. They're eighteen, there's nothing wrong. 334 00:17:49,414 --> 00:17:51,774 Speaker 7: There's no reason why you can't capitalize on eighteen year 335 00:17:51,814 --> 00:17:55,214 Speaker 7: old content. And if they are eighteen, and if they're 336 00:17:55,214 --> 00:17:57,934 Speaker 7: a content creator themselves, it surges in their bodies and 337 00:17:57,934 --> 00:18:00,454 Speaker 7: they're choosing to be in the industry. And when I'm 338 00:18:00,454 --> 00:18:03,454 Speaker 7: filmed with eighteen year olds that aren't in the industry. 339 00:18:03,414 --> 00:18:05,734 Speaker 4: It's a similar situation. It's their bodies. 340 00:18:05,774 --> 00:18:08,014 Speaker 7: They've choosed to film content with me, and I'm giving 341 00:18:08,054 --> 00:18:11,054 Speaker 7: them a good experience. And when you capitalize on something 342 00:18:11,094 --> 00:18:14,094 Speaker 7: which is no harm and it's nothing other than focused 343 00:18:14,094 --> 00:18:17,494 Speaker 7: on pleasure, However, it's not how the older generations see it. 344 00:18:17,854 --> 00:18:19,614 Speaker 1: I think something that a lot of people have been 345 00:18:19,614 --> 00:18:23,094 Speaker 1: focused on is what happens if these men grow up 346 00:18:23,174 --> 00:18:26,094 Speaker 1: and have responsibilities and then it's found that they have 347 00:18:26,214 --> 00:18:29,574 Speaker 1: this content that lives online forever. And I mean it's 348 00:18:29,614 --> 00:18:32,414 Speaker 1: only because of stigma that we tell people that they 349 00:18:32,454 --> 00:18:35,374 Speaker 1: shouldn't do this because employers will not want to hire them. 350 00:18:35,454 --> 00:18:39,094 Speaker 1: But what do you say to these young men who 351 00:18:39,134 --> 00:18:41,934 Speaker 1: are coming to you, who potentially maybe don't understand the 352 00:18:41,934 --> 00:18:43,814 Speaker 1: implications that this will live online forever. 353 00:18:44,134 --> 00:18:47,214 Speaker 7: Yeah. I find it funny how much the older generation 354 00:18:47,494 --> 00:18:50,894 Speaker 7: like to attend the younger generation, especially like eighteen year 355 00:18:50,894 --> 00:18:53,934 Speaker 7: olds don't understand social media and if you post something, 356 00:18:53,974 --> 00:18:56,974 Speaker 7: it's out there forever, when in fact, eighteen year olds 357 00:18:57,014 --> 00:18:59,454 Speaker 7: have been brought up with social media. They're fully aware 358 00:18:59,494 --> 00:19:02,374 Speaker 7: of how the internet works, and they actually understand it 359 00:19:02,454 --> 00:19:04,294 Speaker 7: a lot more than these older women that are trying 360 00:19:04,334 --> 00:19:06,934 Speaker 7: to give them education. For example, you know, for a 361 00:19:06,934 --> 00:19:09,134 Speaker 7: moment to biophone now, I mean did it setting up? 362 00:19:09,214 --> 00:19:10,334 Speaker 7: Or something who went wrong at home? 363 00:19:10,374 --> 00:19:10,814 Speaker 4: Technical? 364 00:19:11,374 --> 00:19:13,494 Speaker 7: Majority of the time, they're going to be asking their 365 00:19:13,574 --> 00:19:15,534 Speaker 7: kids or the younger people to say, hey, how does 366 00:19:15,534 --> 00:19:15,974 Speaker 7: this work? 367 00:19:16,014 --> 00:19:17,214 Speaker 4: Hey how do I set this up? 368 00:19:17,654 --> 00:19:19,334 Speaker 7: So we really like to pick and choose when we 369 00:19:19,374 --> 00:19:22,054 Speaker 7: want to discriminate against eighteen year olds, we like to 370 00:19:22,054 --> 00:19:24,134 Speaker 7: say they don't understand they are old enough old, they 371 00:19:24,134 --> 00:19:25,374 Speaker 7: don't understand social media. 372 00:19:26,174 --> 00:19:26,814 Speaker 4: Suddenly, if we. 373 00:19:26,814 --> 00:19:29,254 Speaker 7: Ever need help or advice, we're like, oh gosh, you know, 374 00:19:29,494 --> 00:19:32,454 Speaker 7: eighteen year olds and the younger generation understand social media 375 00:19:32,614 --> 00:19:35,054 Speaker 7: so much better. So they really like to pick and 376 00:19:35,134 --> 00:19:38,734 Speaker 7: choose when we like to say they understand the Internet. 377 00:19:39,454 --> 00:19:42,814 Speaker 7: And in terms of an employer in the future, these 378 00:19:43,014 --> 00:19:45,254 Speaker 7: eighteen year olds choose if they want to show their 379 00:19:45,254 --> 00:19:48,454 Speaker 7: face or not. Majority of them don't show their face, 380 00:19:48,814 --> 00:19:50,374 Speaker 7: and it's not something you're going to put on the 381 00:19:50,374 --> 00:19:52,574 Speaker 7: headline as you see Fea saying, Hey, I sept with 382 00:19:52,574 --> 00:19:55,934 Speaker 7: Bonnie Blue, you know, when I was eighteen. So how 383 00:19:56,014 --> 00:19:58,254 Speaker 7: is that employer sort of going to know unless they 384 00:19:58,254 --> 00:20:00,854 Speaker 7: know exactly what your legs look like, what sized penis 385 00:20:00,894 --> 00:20:02,894 Speaker 7: you have, and what you look like when you're eighteen 386 00:20:02,974 --> 00:20:06,014 Speaker 7: year old waist down, how are they going to pinpoint 387 00:20:06,014 --> 00:20:06,814 Speaker 7: that at an interview? 388 00:20:07,654 --> 00:20:11,254 Speaker 1: If someone later on down there track does regret their decision, 389 00:20:11,294 --> 00:20:12,734 Speaker 1: do they have an option to come to you and 390 00:20:12,774 --> 00:20:14,814 Speaker 1: ask to be taken out of or taken down from 391 00:20:14,854 --> 00:20:15,254 Speaker 1: a video? 392 00:20:16,694 --> 00:20:18,854 Speaker 7: Obviously these times where things get leaked, you know, and 393 00:20:18,894 --> 00:20:21,374 Speaker 7: it's hard for me to get that taken down. But 394 00:20:21,374 --> 00:20:24,294 Speaker 7: in terms of the content I post whether that's something 395 00:20:24,334 --> 00:20:28,014 Speaker 7: on Instagram or TikTok or on my other page. If 396 00:20:28,694 --> 00:20:30,694 Speaker 7: they have got control, if they want me to remove 397 00:20:30,694 --> 00:20:33,294 Speaker 7: content or ask me to take it down at any point, 398 00:20:33,334 --> 00:20:36,014 Speaker 7: I am happy to do that because yes, I enjoy 399 00:20:36,414 --> 00:20:40,294 Speaker 7: earning money off them, but also focus on pleasuring them 400 00:20:40,294 --> 00:20:42,014 Speaker 7: and them having a good experience. 401 00:20:41,574 --> 00:20:43,334 Speaker 4: And a good time. And if at any point they 402 00:20:43,334 --> 00:20:44,694 Speaker 4: want to change their mind. 403 00:20:45,294 --> 00:20:47,494 Speaker 7: Like I said before, consent can change at any point, 404 00:20:47,574 --> 00:20:50,334 Speaker 7: so I will happily take that video down. And they're 405 00:20:50,334 --> 00:20:52,734 Speaker 7: made aware of that. You know, as soon as they 406 00:20:52,894 --> 00:20:55,854 Speaker 7: meet me, I stressed them. At any point you want 407 00:20:55,894 --> 00:20:57,774 Speaker 7: to change your mind or any point you change consent, 408 00:20:57,934 --> 00:20:58,534 Speaker 7: do not worry. 409 00:20:58,574 --> 00:20:59,094 Speaker 4: Just let me know. 410 00:20:59,574 --> 00:21:03,374 Speaker 1: I'm interested to know how you feel about men appearing 411 00:21:03,414 --> 00:21:08,134 Speaker 1: in your content as opposed to young men's relationship without 412 00:21:08,134 --> 00:21:10,414 Speaker 1: our content in general, because we know that they are 413 00:21:10,454 --> 00:21:13,814 Speaker 1: accessing some pretty violent pornography and that is bleeding into 414 00:21:13,854 --> 00:21:16,854 Speaker 1: the relationships they have with women in their real life. 415 00:21:17,214 --> 00:21:19,934 Speaker 1: Do you feel like you're playing a role in that 416 00:21:20,214 --> 00:21:21,854 Speaker 1: or do you feel like it's a positive role or 417 00:21:21,894 --> 00:21:23,894 Speaker 1: a negative role? How do you see yourself in that 418 00:21:23,974 --> 00:21:24,814 Speaker 1: sort of situation. 419 00:21:25,254 --> 00:21:27,974 Speaker 7: It's completely opposite because these eighteen year olds are watching 420 00:21:28,014 --> 00:21:30,774 Speaker 7: content online. Whether or not these moms think suddenly their 421 00:21:30,854 --> 00:21:32,694 Speaker 7: kids have never watched sex, so they don't you get 422 00:21:32,734 --> 00:21:34,694 Speaker 7: involved in it, It's completely untrue. 423 00:21:34,694 --> 00:21:36,334 Speaker 4: They are watching it and they're having sex. 424 00:21:36,734 --> 00:21:40,654 Speaker 7: Whereas when you watch porn or adult content, it is 425 00:21:40,934 --> 00:21:43,414 Speaker 7: a lot of the time fake, it's edited. If they 426 00:21:43,414 --> 00:21:45,854 Speaker 7: are pulling the hair, they know how to pull hair 427 00:21:45,894 --> 00:21:48,334 Speaker 7: because they've been, you know, in that industry a long time. 428 00:21:49,014 --> 00:21:52,694 Speaker 7: If they're only watching professional pawn, that isn't great in 429 00:21:52,774 --> 00:21:57,894 Speaker 7: terms of educational or them learning anything from that content. However, 430 00:21:57,894 --> 00:22:00,374 Speaker 7: when they sleep with me, they can ask questions, they 431 00:22:00,374 --> 00:22:03,054 Speaker 7: can try different things, or they can learn what they 432 00:22:03,174 --> 00:22:05,334 Speaker 7: enjoy and what I enjoy, So it actually helps them 433 00:22:05,574 --> 00:22:09,374 Speaker 7: moving forward in their sex life, So it is educational. 434 00:22:10,134 --> 00:22:12,894 Speaker 1: What do you say to those parents whose kids are 435 00:22:12,894 --> 00:22:15,534 Speaker 1: heading to the Gold Coast this weekend and who are 436 00:22:16,134 --> 00:22:19,134 Speaker 1: worried about their children, Whether you think it's unfounded or not, 437 00:22:19,214 --> 00:22:22,294 Speaker 1: they are genuinely worried about their kids. What message would 438 00:22:22,334 --> 00:22:25,334 Speaker 1: you have to parents who might be concerned. 439 00:22:25,174 --> 00:22:27,654 Speaker 7: They should be sending them my way if their kids 440 00:22:27,654 --> 00:22:30,934 Speaker 7: want to film with me, because when you're eighteen, you 441 00:22:31,014 --> 00:22:33,934 Speaker 7: go out drinking, they're having sex when they're under the 442 00:22:33,974 --> 00:22:36,414 Speaker 7: influence and consent can start getting blurred. 443 00:22:36,414 --> 00:22:38,334 Speaker 4: They wake up, you know, the night after that, God, 444 00:22:38,374 --> 00:22:40,414 Speaker 4: I can't really remember what happened, or you know, can't 445 00:22:40,414 --> 00:22:41,614 Speaker 4: even remember that girl's name. 446 00:22:42,214 --> 00:22:44,974 Speaker 7: And that's when sometimes things get then spoken about. 447 00:22:45,014 --> 00:22:46,414 Speaker 4: They're like, oh, you know, you slept with her when 448 00:22:46,454 --> 00:22:47,654 Speaker 4: she was really drunk. 449 00:22:47,334 --> 00:22:50,254 Speaker 7: And that's when things can start causing a problem or 450 00:22:50,814 --> 00:22:55,454 Speaker 7: can then potentially affect your future. However, sleeping with me 451 00:22:55,694 --> 00:22:59,854 Speaker 7: is a beyond saf environment, and I don't know how helps. 452 00:22:59,574 --> 00:23:00,334 Speaker 4: To get it across. 453 00:23:00,374 --> 00:23:03,014 Speaker 7: Because there is a security on the door, they're feeling 454 00:23:03,014 --> 00:23:06,854 Speaker 7: a consent for, they're bringing ID, they're doing a breathalyzer test, 455 00:23:07,214 --> 00:23:08,894 Speaker 7: they're sleeping with someone that gets. 456 00:23:08,774 --> 00:23:11,174 Speaker 4: STD check, and I use protection. 457 00:23:11,934 --> 00:23:15,894 Speaker 7: There's no other safe environment or protection as if they're 458 00:23:15,934 --> 00:23:17,774 Speaker 7: going to have that in any other you know, night, 459 00:23:17,774 --> 00:23:19,894 Speaker 7: if they're going to have a one night stand. So 460 00:23:20,734 --> 00:23:22,894 Speaker 7: it really confuses me how they can even slightly think 461 00:23:22,934 --> 00:23:24,534 Speaker 7: it's an unsaved environment for them. 462 00:23:24,654 --> 00:23:26,374 Speaker 4: It's a complete opposite. 463 00:23:26,934 --> 00:23:29,814 Speaker 1: I think part of the exploitation part of this conversation 464 00:23:30,094 --> 00:23:34,374 Speaker 1: isn't maybe so much about sexually exploiting, but rather financially exploiting, 465 00:23:34,414 --> 00:23:36,894 Speaker 1: because you're making money off of this, But how much 466 00:23:36,974 --> 00:23:40,054 Speaker 1: does this attention? Media attention? You've already mentioned that, you know, 467 00:23:40,174 --> 00:23:42,934 Speaker 1: media are the ones that started this barely illegal trope 468 00:23:42,974 --> 00:23:46,014 Speaker 1: in the first place. How much does that actually benefit 469 00:23:46,094 --> 00:23:49,054 Speaker 1: you to have these headlines you know, around. 470 00:23:48,734 --> 00:23:52,294 Speaker 7: The world, Oh, massively, especially because sex, as much as 471 00:23:52,294 --> 00:23:54,574 Speaker 7: it shouldn't be to both it is. But the more 472 00:23:54,614 --> 00:23:57,134 Speaker 7: taboo they're making it sound, for example, like using the 473 00:23:57,214 --> 00:24:01,174 Speaker 7: term barely legal, they're drawing more traffic to me, So yes, 474 00:24:01,254 --> 00:24:04,334 Speaker 7: it causes more of an up with women, but then 475 00:24:04,374 --> 00:24:06,934 Speaker 7: their husbands and their sons are more intrigued to see it. 476 00:24:07,094 --> 00:24:09,534 Speaker 7: So financially, it's changed my life and my family's life 477 00:24:09,534 --> 00:24:10,974 Speaker 7: life completely. 478 00:24:13,334 --> 00:24:16,454 Speaker 1: As schools approaches, this controversy serves as a reminder of 479 00:24:16,454 --> 00:24:20,294 Speaker 1: the complex challenges facing young people in an increasingly digital world, 480 00:24:20,454 --> 00:24:24,814 Speaker 1: where the lines between entertainment, exploitation, and opportunity often blur, 481 00:24:25,334 --> 00:24:28,214 Speaker 1: and with AI now generating images and videos of mostly 482 00:24:28,254 --> 00:24:31,094 Speaker 1: women in a sexualized manner, many of us might end 483 00:24:31,174 --> 00:24:33,614 Speaker 1: up with things online that we aren't even aware exist. 484 00:24:35,414 --> 00:24:37,134 Speaker 1: Thanks for taking the time to feed your mind with 485 00:24:37,214 --> 00:24:39,814 Speaker 1: us today.
