1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:00,760
Speaker 1: With me right now.

2
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:01,920
Speaker 2: We've got Jason Wooll's.

3
00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: Political leader to Hey Jason, afternoon, hother in light of

4
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: that massive report yesterday, is the government going to review

5
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: any of its policies? You know, there were some interesting

6
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: comments by Ericas Stamford today, she's the minister that's been

7
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: in charge of this report and basically just having a

8
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: look at that exact question in terms of the government's

9
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: current legislative agenda in light of that report. Now, the

10
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: government has received a lot of praise this and the

11
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: last government actually have received a lot of praise for

12
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: the report and the work behind it. But there have

13
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: also been a number of questions raised by critics, including

14
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: this one by the Greens that was raised in the

15
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: House yesterday.

16
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 3: And to get really real and frank, what that means

17
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 3: and what survivors this morning told us is that that

18
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 3: means no military style boots camps.

19
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 1: Let's of a question and more of a statement actually,

20
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: and it's they say that it's basically tone deaf for

21
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,959
Speaker 1: the government to roll out the pilot of this program

22
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: this weekend when the report has just been tabled. Now,

23
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: Chris Luxen was strong only pushing back on the insinuations

24
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: being made by the Greens.

25
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 2: Well, I want to be very clear about that, because

26
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 2: what we're proposing is something very very different. Having read

27
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 2: the full accounts, I've read all the eighty one accounts

28
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 2: of the individuals, and I've read the five case studies

29
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 2: of the senders as well, and what we're doing is

30
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 2: something very very different. That was about unvetted staff. We have,

31
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 2: in this case senior psychologists and two social workers working

32
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 2: with ten young people consistently.

33
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 1: So his argument is that this is just too crude

34
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 1: of comparison from the opposition. It's not apples to apples.

35
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: But the wider question does remain how much does the

36
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: government need to change its current plans in light of

37
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: the report? And here's how Stamford responded to that question

38
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: on the Bridge Run today.

39
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 4: The Royal Commission makes a number of recommendations about around

40
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 4: quite wide ranging structural organizational change and a lot of

41
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 4: legislation change, and we will take a look at those

42
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 4: in due course. Except that wouldn't need there would be

43
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 4: there would be a need for white It may as

44
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 4: well be a need for wide changes and legislative change,

45
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 4: but we haven't considered yet all of the recommendations. But

46
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 4: we will do so in good faith over the coming month.

47
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: So she has and she wouldn't go into specifics here

48
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: as to what those quote wide changes might be, but

49
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: the timeframe, she said, is in the coming months. But

50
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: so that means don't expect to see something like a

51
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 1: one to eighty on the boot camps for example.

52
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 4: Jason very quickly, because I only have about a forty

53
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 4: five seconds.

54
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: But what's going on with child poverty numbers? Oh geez, okay,

55
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: I'll try and get it in a quick amount of time.

56
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: So essentially the government has come out or the Greens

57
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: have come out swinging saying it was the government that

58
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: they've they've quietly watered down the child poverty statistics. And

59
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: this was kicked off by Ricardo me Mendez March in

60
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: the House and it was essentially a battle about the

61
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: numbers here. Now what the numbers it comes down to

62
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: is that the previous government's child poverty reduction target was

63
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: nine percent. However in the last time we saw the report,

64
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: that number was up to twelve point five percent. Now

65
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: this government has is not doing the nine percent target

66
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: that the government had, but it's actually doing an eleven

67
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: percent target. So technically, yes, it's higher than the last government,

68
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: but also technically the last government wasn't going to meet

69
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 1: this target at all, so it's a bit of jiggery

70
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,239
Speaker 1: pokery going on in the House here in terms of

71
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: those numbers.

72
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 3: I thank you.

73
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 2: You did that in forty five seconds.

74
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: Jesson's quite impressive. I appreciate it. Jason Wolves, political leader

75
