1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: So Albow over in Australia has announced that his government

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: will build one hundred thousand houses for first home buyers

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 1: in young Australian. Sound familiar to you, Yeah, it sounds

4
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,040
Speaker 1: just like here we bill, doesn't it? Well, Elbow's confident

5
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: he can do it. Though he's been showing off some

6
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: under construction townhouses in a battleground electorate in South I

7
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: was today.

8
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 2: This isn't theoretical. This is happening right now behind us.

9
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 1: OLLI will cover that off in just a minute. At

10
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 1: least thirty four people have died in a Russian strike

11
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: on a town in eastern Ukraine. This is one of

12
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: the biggest losses of civilian life since the war started.

13
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: Here's Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenski.

14
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 3: Every Russian missile, of course, every drone and every glide

15
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 3: box strikes not only our people, but also diplomacy and

16
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 3: the political efforts of everyone trying to end this war.

17
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: And finally, that's the sound of a helicopter crash. Now,

18
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: a helicopter crash in South Africa has been blamed on

19
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: a penguin. A passenger in the chopper apparently had a

20
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,040
Speaker 1: penguin and a box on their lap, and when the

21
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: chopper was fifty feet off the ground, the box slid

22
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: off their lap and then hit the pilot's controls. At

23
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: that point, the helicopter rolled, it hit the ground and crashed.

24
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: And the most amazing part about all of this is

25
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 1: that neither the penguin nor anyone else on board the

26
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:12,199
Speaker 1: chopper was hurt.

27
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 3: International correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance Peace of Mind

28
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 3: for New Zealand business.

29
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 1: Olli Peterson six PR Perth Life Presenters with us OLI.

30
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 2: Hello, get ahead, long time, no chat.

31
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: Mate, Good to talk to you. As Albert googled how

32
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 1: that one hundred thousand dollars one hundred thousand houses in

33
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: New Zealand.

34
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 4: Wind, Yeah, that's right, he's just stolen key we build.

35
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 4: He thought that that was a good idea.

36
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 1: Do you think he went down and just had a

37
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,119
Speaker 1: look at how that came out in the end.

38
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 4: I mean, I'll be honest with you, let's be all

39
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 4: cynical about it. I don't think anybody believes either party

40
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 4: can deliver what they're promising, right, It's just going to

41
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 4: be too hard. Ultimately, Yes, the idea of trying to

42
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 4: get more young people into a home is exactly what

43
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 4: we were waiting for a big policy announcement because it's

44
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 4: one of the major issues in this country. But what

45
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 4: the Prime Minister is promising now in regards to only

46
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 4: hitting five percent for a deposit, I mean, we've got

47
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 4: economists in this country predicting that interest rates are going

48
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 4: to be cut three times this year.

49
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,679
Speaker 2: We just simply can't build enough houses. So what's that

50
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 2: going to do?

51
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 4: Just drive up property prices and Peter Dutton's tax concessions

52
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 4: deductions at least frames it towards the idea of making

53
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 4: sure that you have to build a new home. But look,

54
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 4: the economists are all warning today the bigger picture here,

55
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 4: to be perfectly blunt, Heather is just yesterday at both launchers,

56
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 4: the two parties promised twenty four billion dollars in extra

57
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 4: expenses plus a few tax cuts, and how.

58
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 2: Can we afford it. We're heading towards a trillion dollars

59
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 2: in debts.

60
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, but now you're telling me that you guys are

61
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: standing there watching elbow unveiled us, going, he's never going

62
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: to do that.

63
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 2: Of course we are, because I've been promising this for years.

64
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 4: I mean, they've had a whole building scheme for this

65
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 4: first term of government.

66
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 2: They delivered bugger all.

67
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 4: So how they all all of a sudden going to

68
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 4: be able to deliver it in a second term. But

69
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 4: I think that's both ways. It's not just about Albin Easy.

70
00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 4: I don't think Dutton can promise the world on housing

71
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 4: either and deliver it. It just is a reality at

72
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 4: the moment, Heather. Until we tackle migration, we're going to

73
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 4: continue to have these problems.

74
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, point listen, what's going wrong with your maths?

75
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 2: We just can't do it.

76
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 4: So the nap plan testing, which is the bugbear of

77
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 4: every Australian parrot a few times a year, is starting

78
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 4: to really show some disturbing habits, particularly amongst students in

79
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 4: grade four. Only thirteen percent of students in grade four

80
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 4: you would consider are competent at maths. Now you compare

81
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 4: that to the UK where it's about twenty one percent.

82
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,239
Speaker 2: Singapore is about fifty percent.

83
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 4: And you know, ultimately we have our challenges in our

84
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 4: education system, but it's still a very good education system.

85
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 4: They're worried that the teachers don't know how to do maths.

86
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 4: They're worried about the teaching methods in regards to the

87
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 4: teachers try to pass on that knowledge to the students,

88
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 4: and they're suggesting the solution here, Heather, is to have

89
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 4: a basically maths wizard in every single school who coordinates

90
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 4: maths for every single student.

91
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 2: And I'm not going to put my hand up for

92
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 2: that because I'm hopeless.

93
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: Just so basically having somebody who understands maths teach maths.

94
00:03:58,240 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 2: It's great idea, isn't it. Isn't it?

95
00:03:59,720 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 4: Yeah?

96
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: I thought, well, yeah, isn't it. Just well, good luck

97
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: with that. I mean, you've first got to teach the

98
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: maths to actually have them understand it. But it's the

99
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: same problem we face. Listen, tell me about this. So

100
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,839
Speaker 1: the Metro in Sydney has been such a hat guys

101
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: actually don't have enough trains.

102
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right.

103
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 4: I mean, if you think about how popular metro is.

104
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 4: I've looked at this before because I thought it was interesting.

105
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 4: The population of Sydney, you know, is the population of

106
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 4: New Zealand. Yeah, so there's a bit of context for everybody.

107
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 4: You probably already knew that, did I thought that was fascinating.

108
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 4: But the metro comes every four minutes in Sydney. Now

109
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 4: this is from Bankstown to Tullawong. I caught it myself

110
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 4: over summer. I think it's amazing. It's like the underground

111
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 4: in London, but the new metro comes every four minutes.

112
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 4: Fifty seven thousand people are moved between the peak hour

113
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 4: in the morning just in one hour, but they now

114
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 4: need fourteen more trains to be able to send those

115
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 4: extra services every three minutes instead of every four minutes.

116
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 4: So the popularity of this metro is just exceeding expectations.

117
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 4: And what I love about it is we all are

118
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 4: naysays when it comes to good public transport. Here's an

119
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 4: example of something that works. I mean, all of our

120
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 4: cities will be experiencing growing pains. Heather, obviously Perth and

121
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 4: you and I are not exactly right where Sydney is

122
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 4: at the moment, but we will be in the years

123
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 4: to come. So let's look at an example like this

124
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 4: and have some future forward thinking and planning.

125
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I totally agree with you. It's about doing it,

126
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: but actually doing it well that makes the difference. Oli,

127
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: thank you so much, really appreciate chatting to you. That's
