1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,000
Speaker 1: Sam Emory, Aussie correspondent with US.

2
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 2: Now, Hey Sam, Hell, that good afternoon. Sam.

3
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: Listen, You've got to fill us in on what's just

4
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: been breaking in your part of the world.

5
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, some sad news just breaking through this afternoon, Heather.

6
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 2: We're still waiting for more details, but police are investigating

7
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 2: after two children were found dead in a home in

8
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 2: the Blue Mountains in New South Wales. Emergency services were

9
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 2: called to the home in Falconbridge at just before twelve

10
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 2: forty today due to concerns for the welfare of a

11
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 2: woman and two children. They arrived to find the bodies

12
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 2: of two boys at age nine and eleven. The forty

13
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 2: two year old woman's been taken to Westmead Hospital under

14
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 2: police guard. But police, this is the interesting part. Police

15
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 2: are sort of saying that they're not looking for anyone

16
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 2: else in connection with the situation. So a bit dubious

17
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 2: there and certainly a sad news coming out of the

18
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 2: Blue Mountains just west of Sydney. Jesse. It's tough to

19
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 2: hear that.

20
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: What do you make of there? Some age limit for

21
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: the social media companies? What are you hearing round about? Fourteen?

22
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 2: Australia is definitely pushing for fourteen years old to ban

23
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 2: children registering on social media platforms. The pms come out

24
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 2: saying he thinks maybe sixteen or younger off the social

25
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 2: media platforms. They're going to try and get this legislation

26
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 2: through this afternoon. The South Australian premiere this afternoon. This

27
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: year I meet the Premier agrees that national regulations on

28
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 2: child access to social media would certainly assist parents. Some

29
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 2: people have sort of come out saying, why should we

30
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 2: ban them from it? We should be given them tools

31
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 2: to actually use them properly. But it's whether or not

32
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 2: these kids actually really want to be on it just

33
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 2: because all their friends are on it, or because they

34
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 2: actually want to connect with a lot of people. I

35
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 2: know that I was speaking before I came on with

36
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 2: your producers. Off Heather. I've got two kids, thirteen and eleven.

37
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 2: My son, you know, he's on Snapchat. He uses it

38
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 2: quite a bit. My daughter's got no interest in it whatsoever.

39
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 2: We're actually talking about it the other day and she says,

40
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 2: why would I need something like that when I can

41
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 2: quite easily. You know, they're on messages, they're on I Message,

42
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 2: they're on YouTube, they're constantly talking with each other, but

43
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 2: they're not actually on these apps, you know, looking at

44
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 2: photos and looking at all these other things, or being

45
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 2: exposed to these sort of advertisements. So I thought it

46
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 2: was very interesting to hear that from my eleven year

47
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 2: old saying that she didn't need any more connection, and

48
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 2: it may change by the time she gets to high school.

49
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 2: You know, teenagers will certainly want to be more connected,

50
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 2: but there's I think the general consensus here in Australia

51
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 2: is that what's the point of being on these things?

52
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 2: You know, at fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, you know what benefit

53
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 2: is it actually bringing to the youth of Australia. So

54
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,839
Speaker 2: I don't think they'll have too much problem getting this

55
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 2: across the line with legislation. It's certainly something that people

56
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 2: want more powers around and more protection for kids, but

57
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 2: adults as well. You know, it's certainly not discriminating against

58
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 2: who finds it hard, who is being attacked online.

59
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,119
Speaker 1: It's a very good point. Listen, tell me what you'll

60
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 1: take on this. Is that video of David Spears snorting

61
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: the white powder real or is it not?

62
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 2: Well, he's calling it deep fake. He's been out on

63
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 2: News Limited. He's calling it on a few other news

64
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 2: sites as well as an artificially generated video. It's pretty

65
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 2: hard to say why would anyone go to the trouble

66
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 2: of making a deep fake video of a person who's

67
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 2: no longer in parliament with the former opposition leader. And yeah, look,

68
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 2: I think he's trying to sort of pull a bit

69
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 2: of a furfey over this one, and I think he

70
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 2: will quickly find that technology and experts will be able

71
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 2: to tell him whether or not it's a deep fake.

72
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 2: So I don't think we'll be sitting around waiting for

73
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: too long on this one, haven't Sam.

74
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: Do deep fake video makers go to the effort of

75
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: leaving details like an open laptop in the background and

76
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: a red bottle of wine and a lighter. It feels

77
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: very It feels very real, doesn't it.

78
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 2: It does. I mean, I'm sure these deepak editors can

79
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 2: get creative in their own world, Heather, who knows what

80
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 2: they can create, but it's certainly you know why. I

81
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 2: just think the person, the profile, the reason behind it.

82
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 2: I just don't see why anyone would go to any

83
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 2: of that sort of effort to try and make something

84
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 2: like that. What's the point, what's the benefit for them?

85
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 2: And who's actually helping or not helping to right?

86
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: Hey, Sam, thank you very much, really appreciated that. Sam Emory,
