1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,680 Speaker 1: Oliver Peterson's six PR Perth Live presenters with us Hey. 2 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:03,760 Speaker 2: Ollie get aheader. 3 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,560 Speaker 1: How far back to these Alan Jones allegations. 4 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 3: Go decades and the breaking news is in about twenty 5 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 3: minutes the New South Wales Police Force will be holding 6 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,320 Speaker 3: a press conference in relation to this. He has not 7 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 3: been charged at this stage, header, but this does go 8 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 3: back decades prior to obviously even coaching the Wallabies, Alan 9 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,920 Speaker 3: Jones was a teacher at a number of schools in Sydney, 10 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 3: So you would imagine the fact that police have been 11 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 3: investigating those allegations for the last nine months that there 12 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,839 Speaker 3: is some more information set to come to light in 13 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 3: about twenty minutes or so from now, so we will 14 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,559 Speaker 3: hear whether or not Alan Jones has been charged. You 15 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,199 Speaker 3: would probably suggest he is going to be charged just 16 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,199 Speaker 3: by the level of detail that has also already been 17 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 3: released by the New South Wales Police Force. And this 18 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 3: obviously involves that time as I said, as he was 19 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 3: a high school teacher, then working as the coach of 20 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 3: the Wallabies, and then he's very successful on air media 21 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 3: career that matter, going on to hold the ratings crown 22 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,479 Speaker 3: in Sydney Breakfast Radio at two GB for about twenty years. 23 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 1: So when we say arrested as in taken down to 24 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 1: the cop shop and charged and let go or actually 25 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: still in the clink. 26 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 3: Still in the click as we speak, we don't know 27 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,759 Speaker 3: if he's been let go yet. We do have obviously 28 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 3: vision and pictures of him in the back of a 29 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 3: I think it was a Hyunday Actually it wasn't a 30 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 3: Mark police car, as he was leaving his apartment this 31 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 3: morning near the Sydney Opera House. 32 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 2: So obviously we'll know more from police very soon. 33 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 3: Yeah. 34 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: Absolutely. Now, so what is this about the rule that 35 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 1: businesses have to accept cash? 36 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 3: Well, this is what the Treasurer is starting to put 37 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 3: out there that by twenty twenty six he wants it 38 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 3: to be a requirement for businesses like groceries, fuel outlets 39 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:47,320 Speaker 3: other essentials that they must accept cash as a payment. Now, 40 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 3: I reckon this is a bit of a vote grubber 41 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 3: and this is an attempt to try and particularly with 42 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 3: a lot of older Australians who are understandably a little 43 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 3: bit skeptical when it comes to digital payments. I think 44 00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 3: we all are these days, to be honest, They're not 45 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 3: just brandishing. Old people are saying they don't want to 46 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 3: pay with their cards. But I mean, look, you should 47 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 3: still have the option right and it's legal tender. So 48 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,519 Speaker 3: I don't mind this idea, but I just think it's 49 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 3: coming at a time where the government's on the nose 50 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 3: and they think, hey. 51 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 2: What if we tell everybody they can pay with cash, 52 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 2: we're going to be voted back in. So that's been suggested. 53 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 3: The other one that I think is really interesting they've 54 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 3: suggested is that if a bank decides to close a 55 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 3: regional branch, they have to pay a levy. 56 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 2: Now to exactly, but the government it's going to come 57 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 2: back to us. They just pay a levy. 58 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 3: So you know, bank bashing is you know, the government's 59 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 3: had to be a success in recent months bashing the supermarkets, 60 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 3: so I reckon they're now I CA been moving on 61 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 3: to the banks because they're just trying to find enemies. 62 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 2: That's just my little gut feel on this one. Ether. 63 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 1: Yeah, it feels a little desperate, doesn't it. Okay, I 64 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 1: couldn't quite get my head around this. So how is 65 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: how why if a Sydney school is trying to fight 66 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: screen time addiction, why is it giving out phones? 67 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 2: I agree with you, This is an interesting one. People. 68 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 3: Ladies College, which is where my sisters went. By the way, 69 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 3: they're going to start giving students smartphones from year five 70 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 3: to year seven. So in year four and year five 71 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 3: they can use a smartphone to make calls and send texts. 72 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 3: In year fives to year seven they can add a 73 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 3: camera and they can have learning apps. In years eight 74 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 3: nine they can access chat groups. And then from year 75 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 3: ten it's just a free for all. And they think, well, 76 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 3: hold on, we've got to go with them. We've got 77 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 3: to educate the kids. Now, I don't think that helps, 78 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 3: to be honest, I mean, unless you're giving someone a 79 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 3: dumb phone, Heather, like a phone that can only make 80 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 3: calls and send text messages when they're younger. 81 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 2: I can see the merit in that. 82 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 3: Particularly, we're in a different world than obviously when you 83 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 3: and I grew up, and we're the parents are young kids, 84 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 3: so I'm a bit more open minded about phones and 85 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 3: k I'm going I got a six year old. But 86 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 3: in the next five or ten years, I can see 87 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 3: the question being asked, Dad, I want a phone. Maybe 88 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 3: the dumb phone's the option so that I can call him, 89 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 3: he can call me, but he doesn't need a camera 90 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 3: to take photos, he doesn't need social media, he doesn't 91 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 3: need to access the internet. Pinball Ladies College though in 92 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 3: Sydney is saying no, no, no, we're going to go on 93 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 3: an education process with the students, so it's going to 94 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 3: be no fear of missing out. Is their argument they 95 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 3: can educate the students is they're graduating through the years 96 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 3: of school, so they're not bullying each other. 97 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 2: So they so, I mean, idealistically it sounds great. 98 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 3: Exactly, how can you control what they're then sending to 99 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 3: people at neighboring schools or other schools or other teens, 100 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 3: et cetera. 101 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, nah, I think I think your gut 102 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: feels right there, Ollie, thank you. Olli Peterson six pr 103 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: PERS Live presenter. 104 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 2: I don't mind. 105 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 1: I actually think they're all like the school is onto 106 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 1: something here where you've got to teach the kids how 107 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: to do the thing right, Like same as you should 108 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: teach your kids how to drink responsibly, right, Give them 109 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: a little bit of wine when they're still at home 110 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 1: and stuff. Teach them how to drink with dinner and 111 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,359 Speaker 1: stuff so they don't just go out and get you know, 112 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 1: absolutely chattered. With the kids at the minute they taste beer, 113 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 1: but where the school. So the idea of holding their 114 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: hand and teaching them how to do the thing is 115 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: the right thing. But I think where they're going wrong 116 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: is the chat groups at twelve, because remember year eight 117 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: and you're still twelve at year eight, Right, that's about 118 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 1: four years too early. According to the book The Anxious Generation, 119 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: which is now my bible for raising truechildren with screen times. Right, 120 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: we know I'm a complete evangelist on this. I'm going 121 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: completely lost. I've gone mental. But he says, sixteen that's 122 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 1: when you introduce the social media for the first time. 123 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: So twelve is miles too. 124 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 2: Young for more from Hither Duplessy Allen Drive.
