00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: Gail Downey, UK correspondent with US. Now, hi, Gail, Hi there,

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: Why is a gale that the hospitality seeks are so

3
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: worried about these tax hikes?

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 2: Well, I guess the thing is that what they're saying

5
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 2: is hospitality restaurants, bars, cafes. They've had a difficult time

6
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 2: during COVID obviously and the recovery after that, and so

7
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 2: they're worried because actually the National Insurance Tax, which is

8
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 2: an additional tax that we pay over here on top

9
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:35,639
Speaker 2: of our normal tax, is going up. And also not

10
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 2: only that, but businesses are going to have to pay

11
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 2: the tax on employees earning five thousand pounds a year

12
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 2: rather than before it had been nine thousand pounds of years.

13
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 2: So basically more people are going to be brought into

14
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 2: the tax bracket. They say they're going to be disproportionately

15
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 2: impacted because of course going to pubs, cafes, restaurants is

16
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 2: a luxury really at this time of cost of living,

17
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 2: and that's what worries them.

18
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: Yes, I've got a fair argument. If they've already had

19
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: a tough they're just going to keep on having a tough.

20
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 2: Way.

21
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: Listen, what's going to happen to these guys who've been

22
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: arrested in Amsterdam.

23
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 2: All we know at the moment is that they've been detained.

24
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 2: So it's dozens of pro Palestinian demonstrators and what they

25
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 2: did was they defied a ban on public protests in

26
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 2: the Dutch capital. And the ban follows unrest last week,

27
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 2: whether about sixty two arrests, and it was just after

28
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 2: a match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Israeli football team

29
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 2: and IAX Amsterdam obviously a Dutch football team. Yesterday, hundreds

30
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 2: of pro Palestinian demonstrators. They gathered in Damn Square, which

31
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 2: is a mainsquare in Amsterdam, calling for an end to

32
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 2: the conflict in Gaza, and they were very unhappy with

33
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 2: the ban on public protests, so the police went in.

34
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 2: They've now detained dozens of protesters. Meanwhile, the Israeli government

35
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 2: has advised its citizens too, in their words, categorically of

36
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 2: Israelis sports and cultural events while abroad, and one of

37
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 2: the things they've focused on specifically is a football match

38
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 2: between France and Israel, which is in Paris this coming Thursday.

39
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: Okay, what is it that Jamie Oliver has said in

40
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: this book that is inappropriate. That's caused them to.

41
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: Pull up right well. I will quote the chief executive

42
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 2: of the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education Commission,

43
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 2: Sharon Davis. What she says is the story mainly is

44
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 2: set in England, but part of it goes to Alice Springs,

45
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 2: where it tells the tale of a First Nations girl

46
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 2: living in foster care in an Indigenous community who's kidnapped

47
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 2: by the villain of the book. That's the villain of

48
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 2: the whole book. And what Sharon Davis has said is

49
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 2: that this chapter, which is called to Steal a Child,

50
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 2: that it implies that First Nation's families are easily swayed

51
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 2: by money and neglect the safety of their children. She

52
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 2: says it perpetuates a racist stereotime hype that has been

53
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 2: used to justify child removals for more than one hundred years,

54
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 2: and that the portrayal is not only offensive but also

55
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 2: reinforces damaging biases. Jamie Oliver has come back. He's currently

56
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 2: in Australia promoting his latest cookbook. By the Way, he

57
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 2: said he was devastated to have cause defense and he

58
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 2: apologized wholeheartedly. The book has now been withdrawn from sale.

59
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: Feels like it's kind of it's like fundamental to the

60
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: book though, So that's there, right, the book's not going

61
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: to come back.

62
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 2: It doesn't seem like it. Yeah, absolutely, I mean I

63
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 2: haven't read I have to confess I haven't read the book,

64
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 2: so I don't know. I'm only telling you what the

65
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 2: criticisms are. But yeah, it looks like it's not going

66
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 2: to come back. That's it. Off the shelves, off the

67
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:45,839
Speaker 2: online that's it.

68
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: It doesn't feel like a small chaint. A thank you,
