This is the owner of Glad. You 36 00:01:56,853 --> 00:01:59,533 Speaker 4: would know that the Glad products are glad rap. For example, 37 00:01:59,533 --> 00:02:02,613 Speaker 4: it's been ordered to pay eight point two five million 38 00:02:02,653 --> 00:02:05,813 Speaker 4: dollars for fossil misleading statements. It's said on some of 39 00:02:05,853 --> 00:02:09,252 Speaker 4: its products that it contained fifty percent recycled ocean plastic. 40 00:02:09,613 --> 00:02:12,493 Speaker 4: Turns out that's a so called ocean plastic, had never 41 00:02:12,533 --> 00:02:16,093 Speaker 4: seen the ocean, It was miles away from any sort 42 00:02:16,213 --> 00:02:19,813 Speaker 4: of water body. It was Indonesian plastic. And they have 43 00:02:19,933 --> 00:02:22,493 Speaker 4: been fine for those misleading statements. But we're going to 44 00:02:22,573 --> 00:02:23,733 Speaker 4: take it a bit wider than them. 45 00:02:23,972 --> 00:02:28,333 Speaker 2: Yeah, our green washing companies the absolute worst of us. 46 00:02:28,773 --> 00:02:32,733 Speaker 2: How evil are companies that they profit off climate guilt 47 00:02:33,133 --> 00:02:35,693 Speaker 2: and they pretend to being virtual to be virtuous, but 48 00:02:35,733 --> 00:02:38,413 Speaker 2: they're actually lying. So people that care about that kind 49 00:02:38,493 --> 00:02:40,373 Speaker 2: of thing, they get this product because they think that 50 00:02:40,413 --> 00:02:43,373 Speaker 2: they're clearing the plastic out of the ocean. They're actually 51 00:02:43,972 --> 00:02:47,333 Speaker 2: not doing that. Yeah, it's really evil. So we want 52 00:02:47,333 --> 00:02:52,893 Speaker 2: to look into the most egregious green green washing that 53 00:02:52,933 --> 00:02:57,093 Speaker 2: you see out there.

And 54 00:02:57,173 --> 00:03:00,333 Speaker 2: as I said before to you, Tyler, it annoys me 55 00:03:00,373 --> 00:03:03,653 Speaker 2: when on a plane and they serve you food worth 56 00:03:03,933 --> 00:03:06,773 Speaker 2: a bamboo knife and fork, as if that covers up 57 00:03:06,893 --> 00:03:11,333 Speaker 2: the amount of aviation fuel that's been blasted. You accept 58 00:03:11,333 --> 00:03:13,773 Speaker 2: when you're on a plane. You can't just pretend it's like, hey. 59 00:03:13,613 --> 00:03:16,053 Speaker 3: Don't look, don't look, don't look out the back here. Yep, 60 00:03:16,252 --> 00:03:19,093 Speaker 3: look at this.

Yeah, 62 00:03:23,252 --> 00:03:24,733 Speaker 3: that's very sustainable. 63 00:03:25,252 --> 00:03:27,573 Speaker 4: It's going to be a great chat. After three o'clock. 64 00:03:27,613 --> 00:03:29,453 Speaker 4: After two o'clock you would have seen this. The government 65 00:03:29,453 --> 00:03:33,493 Speaker 4: had started consultation on a new draft curriculum for Relationships 66 00:03:33,493 --> 00:03:37,933 Speaker 4: and Sexuality Education called aris E.

How did you do it? 73 00:03:54,013 --> 00:03:55,333 Speaker 2: Or maybe you didn't at all, and you just think 74 00:03:55,373 --> 00:03:57,533 Speaker 2: that's up to the government to educate your kids in 75 00:03:57,573 --> 00:03:58,173 Speaker 2: these areas. 76 00:03:58,293 --> 00:04:01,173 Speaker 4: Yep, that is after to o'clock it right now, as 77 00:04:01,213 --> 00:04:02,933 Speaker 4: you said, map amn pig. 78 00:04:02,693 --> 00:04:06,173 Speaker 3: Brother, Yeah, eight hundred and eighty ten eight. How do 79 00:04:06,173 --> 00:04:06,853 Speaker 3: you feel about it? 80 00:04:06,973 --> 00:04:10,613 Speaker 4: Yeah, So the government has has started to or the 81 00:04:10,693 --> 00:04:16,053 Speaker 4: Justice Minister he is considering the ramifications of allowing businesses 82 00:04:16,093 --> 00:04:19,973 Speaker 4: to use facial recognition technology. He says he wants to 83 00:04:20,013 --> 00:04:23,973 Speaker 4: be as enabling as he can be. But as we know, 84 00:04:24,093 --> 00:04:27,493 Speaker 4: there was a trial of facial recognition technology done by 85 00:04:27,533 --> 00:04:29,893 Speaker 4: twenty five New World and pack and Safe stores in 86 00:04:29,933 --> 00:04:32,653 Speaker 4: the North Island recently. So they say it helped prevent 87 00:04:33,013 --> 00:04:37,773 Speaker 4: one hundred serious events, but it also misidentified nine people. 88 00:04:38,413 --> 00:04:41,653 Speaker 2: Yeah, and they say going before going forward that it 89 00:04:41,693 --> 00:04:43,653 Speaker 2: would identify but then a human would look at it 90 00:04:43,653 --> 00:04:44,693 Speaker 2: and make sure before. 91 00:04:44,453 --> 00:04:46,253 Speaker 3: They went and checked it. 92 00:04:46,453 --> 00:04:48,613 Speaker 2: And you can see why they want to do it 93 00:04:48,653 --> 00:04:53,133 Speaker 2: retail sorry, real retail crime has estimated to cost about 94 00:04:53,133 --> 00:04:56,333 Speaker 2: two point six billion a year in New Zealand. So 95 00:04:56,773 --> 00:05:00,533 Speaker 2: and they don't have many powers to deal with shoplifting 96 00:05:00,733 --> 00:05:05,293 Speaker 2: because taking people to court is too hard. And so 97 00:05:05,333 --> 00:05:07,573 Speaker 2: you get a situation where someone's robbed you ten times, 98 00:05:08,453 --> 00:05:12,053 Speaker 2: a facial recognition technology can just go hey, that person's 99 00:05:12,053 --> 00:05:13,333 Speaker 2: in here, so you can go up to them and 100 00:05:13,333 --> 00:05:15,413 Speaker 2: say get out because you keep stealing from us. 101 00:05:15,813 --> 00:05:17,773 Speaker 3: That seems fair enough. 102 00:05:18,053 --> 00:05:20,373 Speaker 2: And you've got a feel for businesses that are just 103 00:05:20,413 --> 00:05:23,053 Speaker 2: getting robbed all the time, but also from the other side, 104 00:05:23,053 --> 00:05:26,973 Speaker 2: because this is a gray and juicy topic, there's strong 105 00:05:27,013 --> 00:05:30,373 Speaker 2: pushback from the New Zealand Council of Civil Liberty Civil Libertys, 106 00:05:30,413 --> 00:05:34,613 Speaker 2: which says such sensitive information should not be collected without consent. 107 00:05:35,173 --> 00:05:36,733 Speaker 2: It fears a slippery. 108 00:05:36,413 --> 00:05:39,533 Speaker 3: Slope of powerful surveillance database systems with a history of 109 00:05:39,533 --> 00:05:42,533 Speaker 3: people's whereabouts that police can access without a warrant in 110 00:05:42,533 --> 00:05:46,013 Speaker 3: a similar way to how police use number plate recognition systems. 111 00:05:46,493 --> 00:05:50,573 Speaker 2: Right now, so you go into a store, maybe you 112 00:05:50,733 --> 00:05:54,013 Speaker 2: expect to be you know, that's fine, I don't shoplift 113 00:05:54,093 --> 00:05:56,293 Speaker 2: scan my face. Yeah, And that's when you've got a 114 00:05:56,293 --> 00:05:59,213 Speaker 2: friendly government like we do now. That isn't going to 115 00:05:59,293 --> 00:06:02,573 Speaker 2: use it against you. But what happens when down that 116 00:06:02,613 --> 00:06:05,253 Speaker 2: you've got to think about down the path, who knows 117 00:06:05,293 --> 00:06:07,893 Speaker 2: going to be in power in ten or fifteen years, 118 00:06:08,373 --> 00:06:09,893 Speaker 2: and they suddenly start pinging you. 119 00:06:09,853 --> 00:06:10,973 Speaker 3: For who you're hanging out with. 120 00:06:11,693 --> 00:06:15,253 Speaker 2: Yeah, they access the data that's been taken in stores 121 00:06:15,653 --> 00:06:17,293 Speaker 2: and they go, hey, look, you were hanging out with 122 00:06:17,333 --> 00:06:21,053 Speaker 2: this person, this person is affiliated with this other person. 123 00:06:21,093 --> 00:06:22,373 Speaker 2: And now next thing you know, you get to knock 124 00:06:22,413 --> 00:06:25,013 Speaker 2: on your door from the year from the coppers. 125 00:06:24,573 --> 00:06:27,253 Speaker 4: And you've nailed it. Because I've got no problem with businesses, 126 00:06:27,253 --> 00:06:31,933 Speaker 4: any businesses using facial recognition software. But what I would 127 00:06:32,093 --> 00:06:35,093 Speaker 4: tend to worry about if businesses start using a carte 128 00:06:35,093 --> 00:06:38,773 Speaker 4: blanche is the storing of that information. I don't know 129 00:06:38,773 --> 00:06:41,133 Speaker 4: if I can trust a supermarket to store that information. 130 00:06:41,293 --> 00:06:43,293 Speaker 4: And people will be listening and saying, what have you 131 00:06:43,293 --> 00:06:45,453 Speaker 4: got to worry about, Tyler? If you're not committing a crime, 132 00:06:45,653 --> 00:06:47,853 Speaker 4: what is there to worry about? But I don't like 133 00:06:47,893 --> 00:06:50,413 Speaker 4: the fact that that information is held by an organization 134 00:06:50,493 --> 00:06:52,453 Speaker 4: like New Order pack and say, but will worst, why 135 00:06:52,453 --> 00:06:53,373 Speaker 4: do they get there of that? 136 00:06:53,733 --> 00:06:57,053 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, if you go into their store, then you 137 00:06:57,133 --> 00:07:00,413 Speaker 2: go into their store. So does it need to be 138 00:07:00,493 --> 00:07:05,933 Speaker 2: heavily signposted? You are entering into a facial recognition area. Yeah, 139 00:07:05,973 --> 00:07:07,933 Speaker 2: So if you're hanging out with someone that's going to 140 00:07:07,933 --> 00:07:11,933 Speaker 2: be flut future governmental agitator, you walk down a different 141 00:07:12,133 --> 00:07:12,853 Speaker 2: aisle from them. 142 00:07:13,493 --> 00:07:16,693 Speaker 3: But you know, I mean part of me. Look, I'm 143 00:07:16,693 --> 00:07:17,293 Speaker 3: gonna be honest with you. 144 00:07:17,373 --> 00:07:19,373 Speaker 2: I don't care about it, but I can see the argument. 145 00:07:19,573 --> 00:07:21,773 Speaker 2: I just don't care. Yeah, because I don't shoplift, so 146 00:07:22,173 --> 00:07:24,653 Speaker 2: I don't care. But I can see the philosophical argument 147 00:07:24,693 --> 00:07:29,333 Speaker 2: the other other way on it. But what are people 148 00:07:29,373 --> 00:07:31,653 Speaker 2: supposed to do? Stop stop shoplifting? 149 00:07:31,853 --> 00:07:34,053 Speaker 4: If there were two supermarkets, so one was using the 150 00:07:34,213 --> 00:07:38,093 Speaker 4: facial recognition technology and the other one wasn't, would you 151 00:07:38,453 --> 00:07:40,813 Speaker 4: tend to go towards the one that wasn't. So, by 152 00:07:40,853 --> 00:07:43,853 Speaker 4: all accounts, everything is the same, The groceries cost the same, 153 00:07:44,053 --> 00:07:46,813 Speaker 4: same sort of vibe and atmosphere in there. Would that 154 00:07:46,893 --> 00:07:48,453 Speaker 4: be right? I'm just going to go to the one 155 00:07:48,453 --> 00:07:49,533 Speaker 4: without facial technology. 156 00:07:49,573 --> 00:07:51,213 Speaker 3: Am I a shoplifted? No? 157 00:07:51,333 --> 00:07:52,813 Speaker 2: Because if I was a shoplifter, I'd go to the 158 00:07:52,813 --> 00:07:55,093 Speaker 2: one without facialift recognition. 159 00:07:55,213 --> 00:07:58,133 Speaker 4: That would be smart as someone who shoplifts. But so 160 00:07:58,173 --> 00:07:58,853 Speaker 4: you wouldn't care. 161 00:07:59,133 --> 00:08:01,333 Speaker 2: No, and this text to here on nine two ninety 162 00:08:01,333 --> 00:08:04,373 Speaker 2: two doesn't care either. Facial recognition software and supermarkets. 163 00:08:04,373 --> 00:08:04,893 Speaker 3: Who cares. 164 00:08:05,213 --> 00:08:08,613 Speaker 2: You have social media sites like Facebook and everyone already 165 00:08:08,613 --> 00:08:10,333 Speaker 2: knows everything about you, so it's no big deal. 166 00:08:10,373 --> 00:08:10,613 Speaker 3: Craig. 167 00:08:10,733 --> 00:08:12,653 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's really interesting that for the longest 168 00:08:12,653 --> 00:08:16,253 Speaker 2: time people talked about their privacy and then just at 169 00:08:16,253 --> 00:08:21,133 Speaker 2: the drop of the hat, put absolutely all of it online. 170 00:08:21,333 --> 00:08:25,373 Speaker 2: So laid everything out on Instagram and Facebook. Just there 171 00:08:25,413 --> 00:08:28,013 Speaker 2: you go, there's all my information nowhere, as it's get 172 00:08:28,013 --> 00:08:30,013 Speaker 2: on with it. I also think it's funny with people's 173 00:08:30,013 --> 00:08:32,213 Speaker 2: privacy because people do know that they used to put 174 00:08:32,213 --> 00:08:34,733 Speaker 2: out a book that used to list your name, address, 175 00:08:34,773 --> 00:08:36,852 Speaker 2: and phone number and used to drop it off at 176 00:08:36,852 --> 00:08:37,453 Speaker 2: everyone's door. 177 00:08:38,093 --> 00:08:40,493 Speaker 3: So we haven't had a lot of privacy in the past. 178 00:08:41,012 --> 00:08:43,412 Speaker 4: But if you're someone who's locked down your social media, 179 00:08:43,492 --> 00:08:45,213 Speaker 4: Facebook maybe tried to clear it up. 180 00:08:45,252 --> 00:08:47,453 Speaker 3: That's a fair point right there. Yes, we all. 181 00:08:47,653 --> 00:08:49,253 Speaker 4: I think a lot of us made mistakes on what 182 00:08:49,293 --> 00:08:51,892 Speaker 4: we were actually posting on social media. But I would 183 00:08:51,933 --> 00:08:54,013 Speaker 4: hope most people, you know, you wouldn't put your kids 184 00:08:54,012 --> 00:08:56,653 Speaker 4: on Facebook, for example, because now you know that that 185 00:08:57,012 --> 00:09:00,012 Speaker 4: is information that is going to go all you know, 186 00:09:00,093 --> 00:09:02,173 Speaker 4: that's going to be exposed everywhere on the internet. It 187 00:09:02,213 --> 00:09:04,213 Speaker 4: never dies, so you're a bit more careful. And when 188 00:09:04,213 --> 00:09:07,813 Speaker 4: it comes to this facial recognition technology, having that information 189 00:09:07,933 --> 00:09:10,732 Speaker 4: in the hand of New world I can't trust New Worlds. 190 00:09:10,773 --> 00:09:13,132 Speaker 4: I mean, it's a fine supermarket and it's a fine organization, 191 00:09:13,173 --> 00:09:14,613 Speaker 4: but why do they get there have that information? 192 00:09:14,653 --> 00:09:17,293 Speaker 2: Well, because you went into their store, so you don't 193 00:09:17,293 --> 00:09:19,453 Speaker 2: have to go in there. You can go shop somewhere else. Yeah, 194 00:09:19,492 --> 00:09:20,813 Speaker 2: you didn't have to go in there. I guess the 195 00:09:20,892 --> 00:09:23,093 Speaker 2: question comes of all supermarkets doing it. You don't have 196 00:09:23,132 --> 00:09:27,173 Speaker 2: an option, but yeah, no, it's it's it's it's a 197 00:09:27,173 --> 00:09:29,373 Speaker 2: gray area. But can I just say I don't care? 198 00:09:29,573 --> 00:09:31,413 Speaker 2: And maybe I should, so I'd love to have someone 199 00:09:31,413 --> 00:09:32,132 Speaker 2: convince me why. 200 00:09:32,053 --> 00:09:34,093 Speaker 3: I should care. On eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. 201 00:09:33,933 --> 00:09:37,693 Speaker 4: Yep, it is fifteen quarter past one. Back very shortly. 202 00:09:37,693 --> 00:09:41,053 Speaker 4: You're listening to Matt and Tyler Good Afternoon, the. 203 00:09:40,852 --> 00:09:44,813 Speaker 1: Big stories, the big issues, the big trends, and everything 204 00:09:44,852 --> 00:09:48,492 Speaker 1: in between. Matt Heath and Tyler Adams Afternoons, used talks. 205 00:09:48,533 --> 00:09:50,693 Speaker 3: It'd be good afternoon. 206 00:09:50,732 --> 00:09:53,412 Speaker 4: It is seventeen past one and we're talking about facial 207 00:09:53,453 --> 00:09:57,133 Speaker 4: recognition technology. The Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith is looking into 208 00:09:57,213 --> 00:09:59,213 Speaker 4: it as we speak. There was a trial done and 209 00:09:59,252 --> 00:10:02,973 Speaker 4: twenty five supermarkets recently, but he is looking on whether 210 00:10:03,213 --> 00:10:05,293 Speaker 4: that technology should be able to be rolled out to 211 00:10:05,372 --> 00:10:06,213 Speaker 4: more businesses in. 212 00:10:06,252 --> 00:10:09,252 Speaker 2: New Zealand's Yeah, here's a text on nine to nine two. 213 00:10:09,252 --> 00:10:11,693 Speaker 2: Grow up, Matt, this is New Zealand. What evil government 214 00:10:11,732 --> 00:10:14,013 Speaker 2: do we need to hide from? We're the least corrupt 215 00:10:14,053 --> 00:10:16,533 Speaker 2: country in the world. It's hysterical and unhelpful to suggest 216 00:10:16,533 --> 00:10:19,732 Speaker 2: that police would ever use the data against citizens. Well, 217 00:10:19,892 --> 00:10:23,213 Speaker 2: I don't know because you you may say that now, 218 00:10:23,453 --> 00:10:26,533 Speaker 2: but the world's an ever changing place. You don't know 219 00:10:26,573 --> 00:10:28,893 Speaker 2: what's going to happen. You don't know who's going to 220 00:10:28,933 --> 00:10:33,133 Speaker 2: be in charge. There's certainly elements of our government right 221 00:10:33,173 --> 00:10:36,492 Speaker 2: now that are very sure that they're one hundred percent 222 00:10:36,612 --> 00:10:39,333 Speaker 2: right about something, and the people that disagree with them 223 00:10:39,852 --> 00:10:41,813 Speaker 2: are apostates that need to be punished. 224 00:10:41,813 --> 00:10:43,292 Speaker 3: So you don't know, you. 225 00:10:43,573 --> 00:10:45,732 Speaker 4: And once I've got that information, they've got it for 226 00:10:45,773 --> 00:10:48,493 Speaker 4: a long long time, whatever government may be in power. Oh, 227 00:10:48,533 --> 00:10:52,053 Speaker 4: eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call. Lads, 228 00:10:52,093 --> 00:10:54,333 Speaker 4: do you trust the tech companies that have your pictures 229 00:10:54,372 --> 00:10:56,892 Speaker 4: when you unlock your phone with your face. 230 00:10:57,573 --> 00:10:59,933 Speaker 3: I do it, really yeah, but maybe I shouldn't now 231 00:10:59,973 --> 00:11:00,292 Speaker 3: you mention it. 232 00:11:00,333 --> 00:11:02,213 Speaker 2: I never thought about that, but I mean, that's and 233 00:11:02,252 --> 00:11:05,252 Speaker 2: that's what the people that supporters of facial recognition technology 234 00:11:05,252 --> 00:11:08,053 Speaker 2: are saying. If they scan you and you're not on 235 00:11:08,053 --> 00:11:11,132 Speaker 2: their people that have stolen from the store before, they 236 00:11:11,132 --> 00:11:15,372 Speaker 2: immediately delete that skin, so they say they're not keeping that. 237 00:11:16,413 --> 00:11:19,053 Speaker 2: So you know, if you regulate that that's what the 238 00:11:19,132 --> 00:11:21,773 Speaker 2: rules are, then as long as you haven't shoplifted, they 239 00:11:21,773 --> 00:11:23,612 Speaker 2: don't recognize you. And one thing that we've got to 240 00:11:23,653 --> 00:11:27,173 Speaker 2: remember is we all have facial recognition technology in our brains. 241 00:11:27,492 --> 00:11:31,732 Speaker 3: Yep, very true. Right now, better than others. Right now. 242 00:11:31,773 --> 00:11:33,892 Speaker 2: I know that you're Tyler because I work with you 243 00:11:33,933 --> 00:11:37,133 Speaker 2: every day and I'm walking around facially recognizing people and 244 00:11:37,132 --> 00:11:39,573 Speaker 2: storing it in in my system right. 245 00:11:39,413 --> 00:11:43,252 Speaker 3: Now, So yours works pretty good. Yeah, Simon, Simon, your 246 00:11:43,252 --> 00:11:43,773 Speaker 3: thoughts on this. 247 00:11:44,852 --> 00:11:49,293 Speaker 5: Yeah, I was in Europe and Spain in September, and 248 00:11:49,612 --> 00:11:52,213 Speaker 5: you go to a supermarket and they issue you with 249 00:11:52,973 --> 00:11:55,653 Speaker 5: your receipt once you paid for your goods, and at 250 00:11:55,653 --> 00:11:58,372 Speaker 5: the bottom of the receipt, was a QR code, and 251 00:11:58,413 --> 00:12:01,933 Speaker 5: that QR code allowed you out through a security. 252 00:12:01,492 --> 00:12:02,093 Speaker 6: Gate at the end. 253 00:12:02,453 --> 00:12:04,573 Speaker 5: No QR code, you couldn't get out. 254 00:12:04,732 --> 00:12:04,973 Speaker 3: Wow. 255 00:12:05,252 --> 00:12:10,253 Speaker 5: I think what annoysing most about the shop lifting epodemic 256 00:12:10,293 --> 00:12:12,612 Speaker 5: that we have in New Zealanders that there are people 257 00:12:12,612 --> 00:12:16,213 Speaker 5: going into our supermarkets. They are loading up trolleys and 258 00:12:16,252 --> 00:12:19,413 Speaker 5: they're walking out knowing full well that nobody can touch them, 259 00:12:19,492 --> 00:12:23,013 Speaker 5: will stop them so and in the end as a consumer, 260 00:12:23,053 --> 00:12:26,653 Speaker 5: that costs us because that supermarket has to mark up 261 00:12:26,732 --> 00:12:29,093 Speaker 5: more in order to be able to cover those losses. 262 00:12:29,413 --> 00:12:32,893 Speaker 5: So you know, the technology is there, it doesn't have 263 00:12:32,933 --> 00:12:36,533 Speaker 5: to be paper recognition. And then that was a relatively 264 00:12:36,533 --> 00:12:41,093 Speaker 5: inexpensive solution. And we all get issue with a receipt 265 00:12:41,773 --> 00:12:44,773 Speaker 5: and that receipt simple QR code, an individual one on 266 00:12:44,933 --> 00:12:47,213 Speaker 5: the bottom of that receipt, and that is your access 267 00:12:47,693 --> 00:12:50,973 Speaker 5: to get out. I can't understand why our supermarkets aren't 268 00:12:51,053 --> 00:12:53,013 Speaker 5: entertaining that when it comes. 269 00:12:52,892 --> 00:12:56,253 Speaker 2: To the facial recognition technology Simon. You know, as you 270 00:12:56,293 --> 00:12:58,573 Speaker 2: say people are pulling up trolleys and pushing them out, 271 00:12:59,053 --> 00:13:01,693 Speaker 2: the people in support of the say, well, that person 272 00:13:01,813 --> 00:13:03,893 Speaker 2: that's done that before gets pained as soon as they 273 00:13:03,933 --> 00:13:06,293 Speaker 2: go in. So you can go up to them before 274 00:13:06,333 --> 00:13:09,093 Speaker 2: you have to have the alter altercation at the trolley, 275 00:13:09,813 --> 00:13:12,333 Speaker 2: before anything happens. You just go up and say get out, mate, 276 00:13:12,333 --> 00:13:15,053 Speaker 2: because you've robbed from here before. So can you see 277 00:13:15,053 --> 00:13:18,172 Speaker 2: the logic and that well, so. 278 00:13:18,252 --> 00:13:21,973 Speaker 5: It's one theory. The reality is that supermarkets are under 279 00:13:22,093 --> 00:13:25,813 Speaker 5: huge pressure to keep their costs down and the biggest 280 00:13:25,852 --> 00:13:29,813 Speaker 5: cost they have is their people, and so they minimize 281 00:13:29,813 --> 00:13:31,772 Speaker 5: a number of people. So at the moment you've got 282 00:13:31,773 --> 00:13:35,133 Speaker 5: to start putting people instore, more and more security people 283 00:13:35,173 --> 00:13:38,492 Speaker 5: to these It's it's a mess of cost and I 284 00:13:39,053 --> 00:13:41,773 Speaker 5: just can't understand why they can't use that simple system 285 00:13:41,852 --> 00:13:44,973 Speaker 5: of an individual QR code and then you will let. 286 00:13:44,892 --> 00:13:47,132 Speaker 2: You because because you're not going to be able to 287 00:13:47,173 --> 00:13:49,012 Speaker 2: walk out. You know what you're saying is you're not 288 00:13:49,053 --> 00:13:51,413 Speaker 2: about it. You're going to maybe walk out with something small, 289 00:13:51,813 --> 00:13:52,933 Speaker 2: but you're not going to be able to get an 290 00:13:53,053 --> 00:13:56,213 Speaker 2: entire trolley out there without your QR code under that suit. 291 00:13:56,453 --> 00:13:56,773 Speaker 7: Correct. 292 00:13:57,413 --> 00:13:59,813 Speaker 5: Yeah, they had a full security gate there and you 293 00:14:00,012 --> 00:14:02,612 Speaker 5: scan your QR code and both it opens, you don't 294 00:14:02,612 --> 00:14:03,453 Speaker 5: have it, you don't get out. 295 00:14:03,892 --> 00:14:06,373 Speaker 2: Yeah, just actually seems to make a hell of a 296 00:14:06,372 --> 00:14:07,973 Speaker 2: lot of sense to me, I wonder why no one's 297 00:14:08,012 --> 00:14:08,253 Speaker 2: doing that. 298 00:14:08,693 --> 00:14:11,093 Speaker 4: It does, absolutely, But just a part of it, Simon 299 00:14:11,132 --> 00:14:14,453 Speaker 4: that I don't like is that it treats everybody like 300 00:14:14,533 --> 00:14:17,093 Speaker 4: they could be a criminal or a thief. It's like 301 00:14:17,213 --> 00:14:19,573 Speaker 4: when and it hasn't happened for a long time, but 302 00:14:19,693 --> 00:14:22,493 Speaker 4: it's happened in the past. When a security guard looks 303 00:14:22,493 --> 00:14:23,893 Speaker 4: at me and says, can I have a look at 304 00:14:23,933 --> 00:14:26,613 Speaker 4: your bag before you leave the store? That purses me 305 00:14:26,653 --> 00:14:29,293 Speaker 4: off because I'm like, excuse me, no, you can't because I'm. 306 00:14:29,133 --> 00:14:29,653 Speaker 3: Not a thief. 307 00:14:30,573 --> 00:14:34,533 Speaker 5: So I a law abiding citizen. Heaven you no issue 308 00:14:34,533 --> 00:14:36,333 Speaker 5: with that at all. That means that I get my 309 00:14:36,373 --> 00:14:39,653 Speaker 5: groceries at the lowest cost price. 310 00:14:39,973 --> 00:14:41,333 Speaker 8: Then I'm quite happy to a little there. 311 00:14:41,853 --> 00:14:45,412 Speaker 5: It just really offends me that people wandering these places 312 00:14:45,413 --> 00:14:47,533 Speaker 5: pull up a trolley and just take off. 313 00:14:48,173 --> 00:14:48,493 Speaker 3: Yeah. 314 00:14:49,013 --> 00:14:51,293 Speaker 2: Does that mean that a super market like that, Simon 315 00:14:51,333 --> 00:14:52,573 Speaker 2: has only one way out? 316 00:14:52,613 --> 00:14:52,813 Speaker 9: Though? 317 00:14:53,053 --> 00:14:57,093 Speaker 2: So you can only leave one way? Because what's the 318 00:14:57,173 --> 00:14:59,133 Speaker 2: situation If you go into the supermarket, you have a 319 00:14:59,173 --> 00:15:00,613 Speaker 2: look around and go this place is rubbish. 320 00:15:00,613 --> 00:15:03,213 Speaker 3: I don't want to buy anything. How do you get 321 00:15:03,213 --> 00:15:05,293 Speaker 3: out there? How do you get out under those circumstances? 322 00:15:05,893 --> 00:15:07,653 Speaker 5: I don't know what the answer is to that, because 323 00:15:07,653 --> 00:15:12,413 Speaker 5: I didn't know I was in legitimately buying. But they'll 324 00:15:12,413 --> 00:15:18,853 Speaker 5: be away. But fundamentally, with a very simple system, very 325 00:15:19,333 --> 00:15:22,733 Speaker 5: an expensive, very year rolled out, you don't need RF 326 00:15:23,173 --> 00:15:26,093 Speaker 5: tags and every toiler or everything. It's just a very simple, 327 00:15:26,693 --> 00:15:30,493 Speaker 5: very workable system and I'd fully support it. 328 00:15:30,653 --> 00:15:32,533 Speaker 2: Yeahri, thank you so much for you call Simon.

It's very easy 405 00:18:36,773 --> 00:18:39,453 Speaker 12: to beat those systems and it's not going to get 406 00:18:39,453 --> 00:18:41,453 Speaker 12: the criminals. If you're a criminal, you want to go 407 00:18:41,493 --> 00:18:42,933 Speaker 12: and steal a whole lot of stuff, what do you 408 00:18:42,973 --> 00:18:44,573 Speaker 12: put a mask on, put a for a sunglass and 409 00:18:44,653 --> 00:18:47,773 Speaker 12: put on point your face to the ground and it 410 00:18:47,773 --> 00:18:50,613 Speaker 12: doesn't work and so it's not going to stop it. 411 00:18:51,813 --> 00:18:55,093 Speaker 12: And so what happens is that you might stop one 412 00:18:55,173 --> 00:18:56,893 Speaker 12: or two, but you won't stop the majority. And then 413 00:18:56,933 --> 00:18:58,333 Speaker 12: what happens where do they have an art to go? 414 00:18:59,133 --> 00:19:02,413 Speaker 12: And what it is is that it was in Australia 415 00:19:02,613 --> 00:19:05,493 Speaker 12: they were taking photo recognition people walking in the street 416 00:19:05,493 --> 00:19:07,373 Speaker 12: where you're shopping, and they had this whole network in 417 00:19:07,413 --> 00:19:09,733 Speaker 12: Melbourne and then it got send off the companies and 418 00:19:09,733 --> 00:19:12,653 Speaker 12: they start advertising to you all and all of a 419 00:19:12,653 --> 00:19:14,813 Speaker 12: sudden on your Facebook page and all your digital stuff 420 00:19:14,893 --> 00:19:16,933 Speaker 12: all pops up, and they're trying to sell your stuff 421 00:19:17,453 --> 00:19:20,533 Speaker 12: and not a revene generating thing in the supermarkes and 422 00:19:20,533 --> 00:19:22,573 Speaker 12: then make more money out of it. And you know 423 00:19:22,893 --> 00:19:24,973 Speaker 12: people are happy with that, then let them. 424 00:19:24,933 --> 00:19:26,013 Speaker 3: Do it well. 425 00:19:26,653 --> 00:19:30,093 Speaker 2: Retail New Zealand chief executive Karen Young says that that's 426 00:19:30,093 --> 00:19:34,453 Speaker 2: not how it works. It says, it's basically what happens 427 00:19:34,493 --> 00:19:37,613 Speaker 2: is you go into the store. You've got CCTV to 428 00:19:37,693 --> 00:19:39,573 Speaker 2: keep an eye on what's happening in the store. What 429 00:19:39,613 --> 00:19:42,213 Speaker 2: the FRT camera does is tell you who's in the 430 00:19:42,253 --> 00:19:45,613 Speaker 2: store and rot risk that person is to staff and consumers. 431 00:19:45,813 --> 00:19:48,413 Speaker 2: There's another tool to help prevent crime and violent behavior 432 00:19:48,453 --> 00:19:50,693 Speaker 2: in the store. And the key thing really is we 433 00:19:50,733 --> 00:19:53,853 Speaker 2: want the staff who work there in the retail area 434 00:19:53,893 --> 00:19:57,373 Speaker 2: to be safe. So you've got to support that, don't you. 435 00:19:57,613 --> 00:19:58,013 Speaker 3: Morris. 436 00:19:58,133 --> 00:20:00,933 Speaker 2: If that someone that's gone into the store before and 437 00:20:00,973 --> 00:20:04,173 Speaker 2: assaulted people or stolen stuff, and there's a way that 438 00:20:04,173 --> 00:20:06,973 Speaker 2: they can be loaded into the system, they turn up 439 00:20:07,133 --> 00:20:09,373 Speaker 2: ping you get them. 440 00:20:09,653 --> 00:20:11,133 Speaker 3: I mean, and I know what you're saying. 441 00:20:11,133 --> 00:20:14,013 Speaker 2: This is that you know, you could put a you know, 442 00:20:14,053 --> 00:20:18,173 Speaker 2: a fake bed on and and whatever outfit. But I 443 00:20:18,173 --> 00:20:19,813 Speaker 2: don't think a lot of these people that are violent 444 00:20:19,853 --> 00:20:23,773 Speaker 2: and problematic, that's sophisticated. They're just wandering in and causing problems. 445 00:20:24,533 --> 00:20:26,813 Speaker 12: Oh yeah, but and you put it into context, this 446 00:20:26,853 --> 00:20:29,773 Speaker 12: won't stop it. And if they want something, they're going 447 00:20:29,813 --> 00:20:31,253 Speaker 12: to go and get it. And then the thing is 448 00:20:31,573 --> 00:20:33,253 Speaker 12: you just said they're going to see you to stop climb. 449 00:20:33,493 --> 00:20:36,013 Speaker 12: So when the lunatic who's actually caused all the problem 450 00:20:36,133 --> 00:20:38,173 Speaker 12: is actually in the supermarket, because we've got to post 451 00:20:38,173 --> 00:20:39,973 Speaker 12: and say he's in't here, then how do they get 452 00:20:40,013 --> 00:20:42,373 Speaker 12: them to leave without a scuffle. It's not going to 453 00:20:42,413 --> 00:20:46,533 Speaker 12: protect anyone. It's just the supermarkets don't fix prices, that 454 00:20:46,693 --> 00:20:48,853 Speaker 12: don't screw their supplies and they don't do. 455 00:20:48,853 --> 00:20:49,173 Speaker 13: Any of that. 456 00:20:49,533 --> 00:20:52,773 Speaker 12: And all we're very honest. There's a woman supporting those 457 00:20:52,773 --> 00:20:55,133 Speaker 12: people who are the most dishonest people out who make 458 00:20:55,253 --> 00:20:57,893 Speaker 12: millions of police poverty. And now you say I want 459 00:20:57,893 --> 00:21:00,013 Speaker 12: to leave what they say it's sort of like voting 460 00:21:00,053 --> 00:21:00,653 Speaker 12: for the Greens. 461 00:21:04,853 --> 00:21:07,053 Speaker 4: Yeah, you got on a roll there, Morris, but just 462 00:21:07,093 --> 00:21:09,333 Speaker 4: on the marketing side of things. That's why, that's why 463 00:21:09,373 --> 00:21:12,173 Speaker 4: it's been considered quite carefully, and that's why if they 464 00:21:12,173 --> 00:21:14,613 Speaker 4: implement this technology that it can be rolled out to 465 00:21:14,693 --> 00:21:17,893 Speaker 4: more private businesses carte blanche, that you've got to have 466 00:21:18,133 --> 00:21:20,293 Speaker 4: those rules in place and those laws in place that 467 00:21:20,333 --> 00:21:23,013 Speaker 4: if they do use it your image for some sort 468 00:21:23,013 --> 00:21:26,133 Speaker 4: of marketing gimmit, then they get stuck very heavily. There's 469 00:21:26,133 --> 00:21:27,973 Speaker 4: got to be massive finds for there, because I'm sure 470 00:21:28,013 --> 00:21:29,213 Speaker 4: most of us wouldn't be into that. 471 00:21:30,573 --> 00:21:31,853 Speaker 12: No one would be. But the thing is is that 472 00:21:31,893 --> 00:21:33,773 Speaker 12: then how do you approve it? It takes time and 473 00:21:33,853 --> 00:21:36,053 Speaker 12: sometimes I've made more money than what the fines are 474 00:21:36,213 --> 00:21:38,973 Speaker 12: and reality is right. She says, it's to protect the staff, 475 00:21:38,973 --> 00:21:43,013 Speaker 12: which I'm a pro for that fair enough, but it 476 00:21:43,053 --> 00:21:46,213 Speaker 12: won't get the person before he goes in. And if 477 00:21:46,693 --> 00:21:49,653 Speaker 12: that's the case and he's already in there, how does 478 00:21:49,653 --> 00:21:53,613 Speaker 12: it protect them? Because you know, you and so do 479 00:21:53,653 --> 00:21:55,573 Speaker 12: we all line up and get a facial recognition then 480 00:21:55,693 --> 00:21:58,773 Speaker 12: go in and keep all the lunisics out, you know, 481 00:21:58,973 --> 00:22:02,133 Speaker 12: and you know where does it work? It's not going 482 00:22:02,213 --> 00:22:03,893 Speaker 12: to be perfect and it's not going to be thing, 483 00:22:04,333 --> 00:22:06,133 Speaker 12: and all you're going to do is put a whole 484 00:22:06,173 --> 00:22:08,493 Speaker 12: lot of people's personal data, and then what happens these 485 00:22:08,533 --> 00:22:10,733 Speaker 12: systems get hacked them all the sort of counter I. 486 00:22:10,733 --> 00:22:12,853 Speaker 2: Mean, that's that's a concern, the system being hacked if 487 00:22:12,853 --> 00:22:16,613 Speaker 2: they're storing information right now, and this kind of system 488 00:22:16,653 --> 00:22:19,893 Speaker 2: that's talking about just storing the faces of the people 489 00:22:20,173 --> 00:22:23,533 Speaker 2: that they have that they they're targeting as having offended 490 00:22:23,533 --> 00:22:25,293 Speaker 2: in the store before. So when a person comes into 491 00:22:25,293 --> 00:22:27,813 Speaker 2: the store, you can stop them and say, hey, you 492 00:22:27,893 --> 00:22:31,093 Speaker 2: know you're not meant to be in here. You you 493 00:22:31,173 --> 00:22:34,973 Speaker 2: know we've trespassed you, and you can leave now.

The Justice Minister is currently considering whether the 527 00:24:26,613 --> 00:24:30,093 Speaker 4: law needs to be changed to allow businesses to utilize 528 00:24:30,093 --> 00:24:33,213 Speaker 4: that technology in greater numbers. There was a trial in 529 00:24:33,253 --> 00:24:35,973 Speaker 4: twenty five New World and pack and safe stores recently 530 00:24:36,493 --> 00:24:40,973 Speaker 4: and though that organization estimated it helped prevent one hundred 531 00:24:41,093 --> 00:24:43,133 Speaker 4: serious events during that trial. 532 00:24:43,213 --> 00:24:45,253 Speaker 2: Yeah, but some people, such as the New Zealand Council 533 00:24:45,293 --> 00:24:48,813 Speaker 2: for Civil Liberty, says such sensitive information should not be 534 00:24:48,853 --> 00:24:52,173 Speaker 2: collected without consent. It feels like a slippery slope to 535 00:24:52,333 --> 00:24:55,373 Speaker 2: powerful surveillance data systems with the history of people's whereabouts 536 00:24:55,533 --> 00:24:57,653 Speaker 2: that police can access without a warrant in a similar 537 00:24:57,693 --> 00:25:01,773 Speaker 2: way to how police use number plate recognition systems. But 538 00:25:01,853 --> 00:25:05,853 Speaker 2: as someone says, if you go into the retailer, then 539 00:25:05,893 --> 00:25:08,853 Speaker 2: you're kind of consenting to it. If there was a 540 00:25:08,853 --> 00:25:11,213 Speaker 2: as you said before, Tyler, if there was two supermarkets 541 00:25:11,213 --> 00:25:13,493 Speaker 2: to rapside each other and one said we use facial 542 00:25:13,533 --> 00:25:17,853 Speaker 2: recognition technology and one didn't. If you were in a shoplifter, 543 00:25:17,933 --> 00:25:20,253 Speaker 2: would you care which one you went into. You might 544 00:25:20,293 --> 00:25:24,933 Speaker 2: prefer the one with facial technology because it is identifying 545 00:25:25,613 --> 00:25:28,453 Speaker 2: people that have been violent in the past in the store. Yeah, 546 00:25:28,533 --> 00:25:30,733 Speaker 2: so you know you're less likely. Other people have no 547 00:25:31,653 --> 00:25:34,013 Speaker 2: privacy concerns and wanted to go further, such as Philip. 548 00:25:34,733 --> 00:25:36,973 Speaker 2: I'd rather everyone got chipped so the shop can scan 549 00:25:37,053 --> 00:25:40,373 Speaker 2: you when you come through the door. So you just 550 00:25:40,493 --> 00:25:43,773 Speaker 2: go the full hog so you prove you're a good person. Yeah, 551 00:25:43,813 --> 00:25:46,133 Speaker 2: and you get chipped. Could would have killed nzid me 552 00:25:46,253 --> 00:25:46,773 Speaker 2: to chip me. 553 00:25:47,653 --> 00:25:49,013 Speaker 3: I like to get chipped so I don't have to 554 00:25:49,173 --> 00:25:51,173 Speaker 3: remember my swipe past every day. So I could just 555 00:25:51,173 --> 00:25:53,053 Speaker 3: walk through my computer turns on for me. 556 00:25:53,373 --> 00:25:55,453 Speaker 4: To get into the my Costing Memorial studio. I mean 557 00:25:55,493 --> 00:25:57,173 Speaker 4: there's a lot of doors you've got to get through. 558 00:25:57,213 --> 00:25:59,173 Speaker 3: There's a lot of security to my Costing. 559 00:25:59,293 --> 00:26:01,813 Speaker 4: Yeah, but you do look like when you've got that 560 00:26:01,853 --> 00:26:04,173 Speaker 4: we land yard, it's almost like you work for the 561 00:26:04,213 --> 00:26:05,093 Speaker 4: CIA or something. 562 00:26:05,133 --> 00:26:06,453 Speaker 3: It is. It looks very official. 563 00:26:06,493 --> 00:26:12,173 Speaker 2: I feel like I worked for the Shield the Avengers. Dennis. 564 00:26:12,373 --> 00:26:15,533 Speaker 2: Your thoughts on the facial recognition technology. 565 00:26:16,613 --> 00:26:21,813 Speaker 11: Hey, Look, facial recognition technology has advanced considerably in the 566 00:26:21,853 --> 00:26:26,933 Speaker 11: last few years. What I want to know is how 567 00:26:27,213 --> 00:26:32,133 Speaker 11: if we give the supermarkets as power, how far we're 568 00:26:32,173 --> 00:26:36,493 Speaker 11: going to allow the creep to occur. Because at this stage, 569 00:26:37,093 --> 00:26:41,693 Speaker 11: facial recognition cameras can pick up a pyper, clothes you're wearing, 570 00:26:42,333 --> 00:26:50,453 Speaker 11: your nationality. They can definitely every time you walk past 571 00:26:50,533 --> 00:26:54,773 Speaker 11: a camera which has it, more information is put into 572 00:26:54,853 --> 00:26:58,613 Speaker 11: the camera about the person, so it builds it up. 573 00:26:59,933 --> 00:27:02,413 Speaker 11: Would you feel comfortable, for instance, to please be able 574 00:27:02,453 --> 00:27:07,093 Speaker 11: to use facial recognition photos on your license and then 575 00:27:07,373 --> 00:27:09,773 Speaker 11: take a photo of your put into a machine when 576 00:27:09,773 --> 00:27:13,253 Speaker 11: they pull you up to identify you, because we basically 577 00:27:13,333 --> 00:27:17,853 Speaker 11: have that technology with customs now when it comes to passports. Yeah, 578 00:27:18,853 --> 00:27:22,853 Speaker 11: and uh, what would you feel as for instance, a shop, 579 00:27:23,253 --> 00:27:28,573 Speaker 11: say Farmers or someone like that, had facial recognition technology 580 00:27:29,093 --> 00:27:31,773 Speaker 11: and they followed you around the shop. Because these cameras 581 00:27:31,813 --> 00:27:34,693 Speaker 11: can follow you around the shop. Now, this technology is 582 00:27:34,733 --> 00:27:39,573 Speaker 11: definitely available and noted the type of product you looked at, 583 00:27:40,013 --> 00:27:41,733 Speaker 11: and so when you walked in the door, they could 584 00:27:41,813 --> 00:27:46,053 Speaker 11: change the advert on the TV screen to show you 585 00:27:46,173 --> 00:27:49,413 Speaker 11: products that they know you have looked at before. 586 00:27:49,573 --> 00:27:52,493 Speaker 2: It might last time, last time you were here, you 587 00:27:52,573 --> 00:27:54,773 Speaker 2: got this cheese, you've forgotten it and you're trolley that 588 00:27:54,853 --> 00:27:56,893 Speaker 2: kind of thing very minority, I mean, I mean that 589 00:27:56,973 --> 00:28:00,293 Speaker 2: is that is definitely possible. So would you would you 590 00:28:00,373 --> 00:28:03,373 Speaker 2: support would you it was definitely possible now, but would 591 00:28:03,373 --> 00:28:08,532 Speaker 2: you support restrictions on it then? So supermarkets or or 592 00:28:08,533 --> 00:28:13,973 Speaker 2: whatever stores can only recognize well only paying people who 593 00:28:14,013 --> 00:28:17,453 Speaker 2: have put in their database because they've offended before. Would 594 00:28:17,453 --> 00:28:21,133 Speaker 2: you and have that heavyly register, you know, and severe 595 00:28:21,253 --> 00:28:23,893 Speaker 2: fines if they're court breaching those kind of you know, 596 00:28:24,013 --> 00:28:26,133 Speaker 2: privacy rules. 597 00:28:26,453 --> 00:28:30,253 Speaker 11: Well, at the moment, we know the police on the 598 00:28:30,373 --> 00:28:35,293 Speaker 11: lpr's lightst plate recognition cameras have breached it. They breached 599 00:28:35,333 --> 00:28:39,533 Speaker 11: it for those two women during COVID going up north. 600 00:28:39,933 --> 00:28:43,773 Speaker 11: They actually did some information and they told a FIB 601 00:28:44,173 --> 00:28:47,173 Speaker 11: that it was involved with a crime or something and 602 00:28:47,653 --> 00:28:53,893 Speaker 11: it wasn't, and they packed. They're vehicles using private companies 603 00:28:53,893 --> 00:28:58,373 Speaker 11: who own that information. Now that concerns me that private 604 00:28:58,373 --> 00:29:03,493 Speaker 11: companies are allowed to own that information. Should we allow it? 605 00:29:03,653 --> 00:29:10,213 Speaker 11: For instance, on open transport trains, there's lots of people 606 00:29:10,213 --> 00:29:13,693 Speaker 11: who have problems there, so they actually have it. Brings 607 00:29:13,773 --> 00:29:14,493 Speaker 11: up that. 608 00:29:14,333 --> 00:29:16,173 Speaker 3: Would you have it? Would you have a problem with that? 609 00:29:16,333 --> 00:29:18,973 Speaker 2: If there's someone that's assaulted someone on a train before 610 00:29:19,653 --> 00:29:21,453 Speaker 2: that when they go on the train, it goes bleep. 611 00:29:21,493 --> 00:29:23,733 Speaker 2: You're not coming on that. Do you see that as 612 00:29:23,733 --> 00:29:24,213 Speaker 2: a problem. 613 00:29:25,613 --> 00:29:31,253 Speaker 11: I see misidentification of people sometimes as having a problem. 614 00:29:31,333 --> 00:29:34,173 Speaker 2: Yes, I mean the supermarkets are saying now that when 615 00:29:34,213 --> 00:29:35,733 Speaker 2: it when it pops up, just to go back the 616 00:29:35,773 --> 00:29:40,533 Speaker 2: supermarket and hardware store example, as it pops up as 617 00:29:40,533 --> 00:29:42,733 Speaker 2: someone's been flagged because they're in the system, and then 618 00:29:42,773 --> 00:29:44,773 Speaker 2: they have a human look at it before they go 619 00:29:44,813 --> 00:29:47,293 Speaker 2: and confront the person. So it does also have a 620 00:29:47,413 --> 00:29:49,453 Speaker 2: human brain going going across it. 621 00:29:50,693 --> 00:29:53,693 Speaker 11: Well, what would you think, for instance, if the niche 622 00:29:53,813 --> 00:29:57,333 Speaker 11: group was that they put all the faces of legal 623 00:29:57,333 --> 00:30:02,093 Speaker 11: immigrants into the grocery stores database and when they went 624 00:30:02,173 --> 00:30:05,373 Speaker 11: in there went beep beep and the cops were called immediately. 625 00:30:05,573 --> 00:30:07,493 Speaker 2: Well, I mean when that that's a that's a long 626 00:30:07,533 --> 00:30:09,613 Speaker 2: way down the track. So you're really saying that once 627 00:30:09,653 --> 00:30:11,653 Speaker 2: this is in as a slippery slope, and then there's 628 00:30:11,933 --> 00:30:17,013 Speaker 2: another another privacy encroachment, privacy encroachment, and then then there's 629 00:30:17,173 --> 00:30:19,693 Speaker 2: law enforcement done in this way. Is that what you're 630 00:30:19,693 --> 00:30:22,173 Speaker 2: concerned about, because this isn't what they're suggesting now, with 631 00:30:22,213 --> 00:30:26,893 Speaker 2: this facial recognition technology they're they're suggesting it's restricted just 632 00:30:27,013 --> 00:30:29,253 Speaker 2: to pinging people that have offended in the store before, 633 00:30:29,933 --> 00:30:31,213 Speaker 2: But you're worried where it would go. 634 00:30:32,293 --> 00:30:37,533 Speaker 11: I remember not long ago seeing a promotional film from 635 00:30:37,693 --> 00:30:41,213 Speaker 11: China which actually said all these things can happen. 636 00:30:41,573 --> 00:30:43,893 Speaker 2: Yeah, well they've got they're running their social credit scores 637 00:30:43,893 --> 00:30:45,613 Speaker 2: over there, which are pretty pretty terrifying. 638 00:30:47,013 --> 00:30:51,333 Speaker 11: And what I'm saying is here, it's very very easy 639 00:30:51,373 --> 00:30:53,253 Speaker 11: for us to say, hey, that'd be good, that would 640 00:30:53,293 --> 00:30:56,293 Speaker 11: solve a problem.

You want to come over? 703 00:33:54,733 --> 00:33:57,173 Speaker 9: Oh yeah, sure, no worries, but of a working holiday. 704 00:33:57,213 --> 00:34:02,173 Speaker 9: So I went over there and up in Brisbane where 705 00:34:02,173 --> 00:34:05,813 Speaker 9: we had some work. On one night, Friday or Saturday night, 706 00:34:05,813 --> 00:34:08,213 Speaker 9: we went out and they've got a big night clubs 707 00:34:08,413 --> 00:34:11,893 Speaker 9: drop up there along road full of bars and nightclubs, 708 00:34:12,013 --> 00:34:15,692 Speaker 9: and you actually have to stand at the front door. 709 00:34:16,333 --> 00:34:18,093 Speaker 9: As you queue up and get to the front door, 710 00:34:18,653 --> 00:34:21,733 Speaker 9: they photograph you with the machine and then they photograph 711 00:34:21,813 --> 00:34:25,732 Speaker 9: your the driver's license and that information, that data goes 712 00:34:25,773 --> 00:34:28,653 Speaker 9: out to every single bar and nightclub in the whole city. 713 00:34:30,173 --> 00:34:32,813 Speaker 9: So if you play out, if you play up, and 714 00:34:33,333 --> 00:34:37,333 Speaker 9: if you're kicked out or cause trouble, not only are 715 00:34:37,373 --> 00:34:40,333 Speaker 9: you removed from the nightclub you're at, you can't get 716 00:34:40,453 --> 00:34:43,293 Speaker 9: into any other that night. And I don't know how 717 00:34:43,333 --> 00:34:46,373 Speaker 9: long the band lasts, but no one complains about it. 718 00:34:46,453 --> 00:34:49,173 Speaker 9: Everyone's happy, and everyone's feel everyone feels safe. 719 00:34:49,373 --> 00:34:52,653 Speaker 2: And that is that all nightclubs or just nightclubs that 720 00:34:52,773 --> 00:34:53,973 Speaker 2: belong to the same company. 721 00:34:55,253 --> 00:34:57,053 Speaker 9: No, no, that's every single one of them. I don't 722 00:34:57,053 --> 00:35:00,373 Speaker 9: know if it's a something by law, but they all 723 00:35:00,453 --> 00:35:02,813 Speaker 9: do it and everyone feels really safe. 724 00:35:03,133 --> 00:35:03,813 Speaker 14: And what's what? 725 00:35:03,973 --> 00:35:06,533 Speaker 2: What what do they look for if you're intoxicated? Does 726 00:35:06,573 --> 00:35:09,853 Speaker 2: that Does that justify sending it out to everyone? If 727 00:35:09,853 --> 00:35:11,453 Speaker 2: you deemed to be intoxicated by the bouncer? 728 00:35:11,613 --> 00:35:13,853 Speaker 9: Oh? Yeah, yeah, I'm sure it would. I mean, no 729 00:35:13,973 --> 00:35:17,933 Speaker 9: other bar wants to serve drinks to inebriated person, so 730 00:35:18,173 --> 00:35:20,453 Speaker 9: to cover it, they want fine, they don't want fines 731 00:35:20,493 --> 00:35:22,973 Speaker 9: and stuff. So there you go, you're off, you're gone. 732 00:35:23,093 --> 00:35:27,013 Speaker 9: So yeah, So, not only does it protect the customers, 733 00:35:28,053 --> 00:35:32,013 Speaker 9: it protects the intoxicated individual from getting even more drunk, 734 00:35:32,453 --> 00:35:35,133 Speaker 9: and then protects the businesses from serving and getting fined 735 00:35:35,173 --> 00:35:37,692 Speaker 9: for serving drinks. So it's good. But just the other 736 00:35:37,733 --> 00:35:41,133 Speaker 9: thing I want to mention is because I was I 737 00:35:41,293 --> 00:35:45,973 Speaker 9: was a bricklayers laborer. I spent an entire month loading 738 00:35:46,053 --> 00:35:48,533 Speaker 9: a concrete mixer all day, and we would start at 739 00:35:48,573 --> 00:35:51,453 Speaker 9: sex and finish at two to beat the heat. So 740 00:35:51,533 --> 00:35:53,813 Speaker 9: we'd finished yearly. Started to finished early and it was 741 00:35:53,893 --> 00:35:57,573 Speaker 9: thirty five degree heat. I've never consumed so much water 742 00:35:58,333 --> 00:36:02,893 Speaker 9: per day in my entire life. And in the sun, 743 00:36:03,093 --> 00:36:06,212 Speaker 9: and you know, you load. I was loading up three 744 00:36:06,373 --> 00:36:10,613 Speaker 9: bricklayers on three level scaffolding, and you know, and they're 745 00:36:10,613 --> 00:36:13,413 Speaker 9: crying out, mad, mad more Matt, and you've got to 746 00:36:13,453 --> 00:36:17,333 Speaker 9: load up three levels of why shovel three levels of scaffolding? 747 00:36:17,533 --> 00:36:19,373 Speaker 9: And I did that for a whole month. And when 748 00:36:19,413 --> 00:36:21,813 Speaker 9: I got when I first got there, I was unfit 749 00:36:22,173 --> 00:36:26,573 Speaker 9: and overweight. And when I left, I went through. I 750 00:36:26,653 --> 00:36:31,533 Speaker 9: went to leave through the Gold Coasts where was calling 751 00:36:32,013 --> 00:36:36,533 Speaker 9: forget the airport, and Customs actually pulled me aside. 752 00:36:36,693 --> 00:36:38,773 Speaker 3: I didn't recognize you because you were different size. 753 00:36:39,813 --> 00:36:42,053 Speaker 9: I was different. Yeah, I was handed, I was lean, 754 00:36:42,413 --> 00:36:46,413 Speaker 9: I was strong, and so base your recognition technology, you 755 00:36:46,453 --> 00:36:48,772 Speaker 9: would think that Customs has the very best of the best. 756 00:36:48,893 --> 00:36:51,413 Speaker 9: But they pulled me aside and said, well is this 757 00:36:51,573 --> 00:36:53,613 Speaker 9: you and can you please prove this please? 758 00:36:53,733 --> 00:36:56,213 Speaker 3: And you said oh yeah, he said why, I thank you. 759 00:36:56,373 --> 00:36:58,813 Speaker 3: I have been every day. 760 00:36:58,973 --> 00:37:01,893 Speaker 9: That's the company. Yeah, yeah, that's yeah. 761 00:37:01,933 --> 00:37:05,733 Speaker 2: If you change that much, there's limitations. And I imagine 762 00:37:05,733 --> 00:37:08,172 Speaker 2: the same thing with growing a huge beard and such. 763 00:37:08,413 --> 00:37:11,093 Speaker 2: But say, Mike, just to go back to the nightclub situation, 764 00:37:11,613 --> 00:37:16,173 Speaker 2: with the facial recognition technology, would you what if you 765 00:37:16,213 --> 00:37:17,853 Speaker 2: went into a bar and it went bing. 766 00:37:18,413 --> 00:37:21,013 Speaker 3: You're good. Last time you hear you ordered this drink. 767 00:37:21,053 --> 00:37:21,772 Speaker 3: Do you want it again? 768 00:37:22,733 --> 00:37:24,813 Speaker 2: And if you go yes, then you go up to 769 00:37:24,853 --> 00:37:26,533 Speaker 2: the bar and it would be ready for you. Would 770 00:37:26,533 --> 00:37:26,973 Speaker 2: you support that? 771 00:37:28,573 --> 00:37:30,812 Speaker 9: As long as what the bar is doing doesn't hurt 772 00:37:31,013 --> 00:37:34,813 Speaker 9: me and harm me. I couldn't kill less. I think 773 00:37:34,853 --> 00:37:38,013 Speaker 9: I'm intelligent enough to have discretion. 774 00:37:38,253 --> 00:37:42,413 Speaker 2: And just what if they use that information to then say, look, 775 00:37:42,693 --> 00:37:45,573 Speaker 2: buff ten guys like Mike, they like this kind of 776 00:37:45,773 --> 00:37:49,053 Speaker 2: drink and they use that as marketing data. 777 00:37:49,093 --> 00:37:49,933 Speaker 3: How would you feel about that? 778 00:37:51,093 --> 00:37:52,013 Speaker 9: No, it wouldn't bother me. 779 00:37:52,533 --> 00:37:54,013 Speaker 4: Ye, well, thank you so much, long as it was 780 00:37:54,013 --> 00:37:57,293 Speaker 4: a good discount. But I mean that to Mike's point 781 00:37:57,333 --> 00:38:00,133 Speaker 4: about the bars. This is where I'm changing my mind 782 00:38:00,173 --> 00:38:02,573 Speaker 4: a little bit. That I can absolutely understand why bars 783 00:38:02,573 --> 00:38:05,213 Speaker 4: would have that technology to stop people who have got 784 00:38:05,293 --> 00:38:08,773 Speaker 4: into a scrap or been a little bit antisocial. So 785 00:38:08,893 --> 00:38:10,653 Speaker 4: with that in mind, I suppose the same applies to 786 00:38:10,693 --> 00:38:13,053 Speaker 4: a supermarket. Right if someone comes in with the intention 787 00:38:13,253 --> 00:38:16,893 Speaker 4: to commit a crime, then I've changed my mind here. 788 00:38:16,973 --> 00:38:20,853 Speaker 4: Then they are fully within their right to use technology 789 00:38:20,893 --> 00:38:21,653 Speaker 4: to stop the criminal. 790 00:38:21,693 --> 00:38:25,933 Speaker 2: Okay, what about this thought experiment? Then Tyler, what if 791 00:38:25,973 --> 00:38:28,293 Speaker 2: the facial technology gets to the point now where it 792 00:38:28,413 --> 00:38:30,893 Speaker 2: seems to be going with AI where they can read 793 00:38:30,933 --> 00:38:34,853 Speaker 2: your facial expressions and make assumptions about your intentions coming 794 00:38:34,893 --> 00:38:37,653 Speaker 2: into the store. Poor, So you've just had an argument 795 00:38:37,693 --> 00:38:39,333 Speaker 2: with the missus in the car and you come in 796 00:38:39,733 --> 00:38:43,533 Speaker 2: and then you're tagged as someone that's a potential problem 797 00:38:43,613 --> 00:38:45,493 Speaker 2: because you're you're you're very angry. 798 00:38:45,693 --> 00:38:47,733 Speaker 4: It's probably fair enough in that circumstance. 799 00:38:48,173 --> 00:38:48,253 Speaker 9: Oh. 800 00:38:48,293 --> 00:38:50,213 Speaker 4: One hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call 801 00:38:50,293 --> 00:38:51,213 Speaker 4: it as seven to two. 802 00:38:53,133 --> 00:38:56,293 Speaker 1: Matt Heath, Taylor Adams taking your calls on Oh, eight 803 00:38:56,413 --> 00:38:58,813 Speaker 1: hundred and eighty ten eighty. It's Matt Heath and Tylor 804 00:38:58,853 --> 00:39:00,773 Speaker 1: Adams afternoons news talks. 805 00:39:02,253 --> 00:39:06,453 Speaker 4: It is four to two. A couple of texts before 806 00:39:06,453 --> 00:39:07,253 Speaker 4: we hit the news. 807 00:39:08,573 --> 00:39:11,613 Speaker 2: Talking about shoplifting, brought about other offenses.

Really, 815 00:39:30,373 --> 00:39:33,893 Speaker 2: they just want to stop people robbing them ten times, 816 00:39:34,213 --> 00:39:36,133 Speaker 2: and if someone has already robbed them, they want to 817 00:39:36,253 --> 00:39:39,133 Speaker 2: load their face into the facial recognition technology and when 818 00:39:39,173 --> 00:39:41,292 Speaker 2: they come and they can ping them and go, hey mate, 819 00:39:41,453 --> 00:39:43,053 Speaker 2: last time you were here, you caused the problem. 820 00:39:43,293 --> 00:39:46,453 Speaker 3: Get out. Yep at that point, yep, exactly. Hey. 821 00:39:46,493 --> 00:39:48,533 Speaker 4: Coming up after the news, we're gonna have a chat 822 00:39:48,573 --> 00:39:52,373 Speaker 4: with Retail New Zealand chief executive Carolyn Young. She is 823 00:39:52,493 --> 00:39:55,733 Speaker 4: right across the use of this facial recognition technology. So 824 00:39:55,733 --> 00:39:57,533 Speaker 4: we've got a lot of questions we'll put to her 825 00:39:58,453 --> 00:40:00,293 Speaker 4: very shortly. It is three to two. 826 00:40:02,013 --> 00:40:05,693 Speaker 1: Talking with you all afternoon, It's Matt Heathan Taylor Adams 827 00:40:05,853 --> 00:40:07,653 Speaker 1: Afternoons News Talks. 828 00:40:07,693 --> 00:40:10,333 Speaker 3: It'd be good afternoon to you. 829 00:40:10,493 --> 00:40:13,933 Speaker 4: So, as we've been discussing, Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith wants 830 00:40:13,973 --> 00:40:16,933 Speaker 4: to allow the use of facial recognition technology in the 831 00:40:16,973 --> 00:40:20,493 Speaker 4: fight against retail crime, despite acknowledging tensions with people's right 832 00:40:20,613 --> 00:40:23,813 Speaker 4: to privacy. To discuss this, it's great to have Retail 833 00:40:24,053 --> 00:40:27,653 Speaker 4: n Z chief executive Carolyn Young on the phone. Carolyn 834 00:40:27,773 --> 00:40:28,693 Speaker 4: very Good afternoon to you. 835 00:40:29,733 --> 00:40:30,653 Speaker 6: Carola, Good afternoon. 836 00:40:31,133 --> 00:40:34,853 Speaker 2: So how does this trial facial recognition technology work in 837 00:40:34,933 --> 00:40:35,373 Speaker 2: a store? 838 00:40:37,493 --> 00:40:40,373 Speaker 6: Well, it's I'll do my best to describe it and 839 00:40:40,453 --> 00:40:43,613 Speaker 6: a quick complement. It's as quite complex system. So basically 840 00:40:44,493 --> 00:40:47,853 Speaker 6: to want to put a facial recognition trial in your store, 841 00:40:47,893 --> 00:40:49,813 Speaker 6: you need to have some reason why you would do that. 842 00:40:50,053 --> 00:40:52,453 Speaker 6: So that would be because you've got a number of 843 00:40:52,533 --> 00:40:58,173 Speaker 6: people that are continuing to cause abuse and violence and 844 00:40:58,253 --> 00:41:01,373 Speaker 6: aggression in store. The primary reason it's been put on 845 00:41:01,493 --> 00:41:04,493 Speaker 6: faces for staff safety. There's a lot of violent and 846 00:41:04,533 --> 00:41:07,813 Speaker 6: aggressive behavior we see in retail these days, and so 847 00:41:09,293 --> 00:41:12,212 Speaker 6: what stores have what food Stuffs have done, and they've 848 00:41:12,293 --> 00:41:17,373 Speaker 6: established in a number of stores people that have offended 849 00:41:17,693 --> 00:41:20,653 Speaker 6: in store, whether it's that they have been aggressive and 850 00:41:20,733 --> 00:41:23,693 Speaker 6: violent towards staff, or potentially they may have stolen and 851 00:41:23,813 --> 00:41:27,253 Speaker 6: been aggressive and those sorts of behaviors. They've trespassed them, 852 00:41:27,293 --> 00:41:29,373 Speaker 6: they've been offended. They've got a photo of them from 853 00:41:29,453 --> 00:41:34,013 Speaker 6: the truth pass. Notice, they load that photo and the 854 00:41:34,133 --> 00:41:37,653 Speaker 6: photo is a headshot only, so it doesn't include anything 855 00:41:37,733 --> 00:41:41,133 Speaker 6: below your chin, so no shoulders, no body, no nothing, 856 00:41:41,413 --> 00:41:44,413 Speaker 6: only your head. And so the headshot gets loaded into 857 00:41:44,533 --> 00:41:50,173 Speaker 6: the facial reognition technology system and in the stores that 858 00:41:50,453 --> 00:41:53,133 Speaker 6: they were random stores that were selected to do the 859 00:41:53,253 --> 00:41:55,853 Speaker 6: trial as part of the requirements and the Privacy Commissioner, 860 00:41:56,333 --> 00:41:59,133 Speaker 6: And in those twenty five stores that did the trial, 861 00:41:59,293 --> 00:42:02,293 Speaker 6: they had large signs out the front of the store 862 00:42:02,373 --> 00:42:06,773 Speaker 6: at every entrance telling people that they had their facial 863 00:42:06,853 --> 00:42:09,373 Speaker 6: recognition was in play in the store, and that if 864 00:42:09,413 --> 00:42:12,373 Speaker 6: they didn't want to come in store, that was their 865 00:42:12,493 --> 00:42:14,333 Speaker 6: obviously their ability to not come in, but they were 866 00:42:14,373 --> 00:42:17,213 Speaker 6: notified before they entered store so that they had the 867 00:42:17,333 --> 00:42:19,813 Speaker 6: choice about whether they came in the store. When you 868 00:42:19,933 --> 00:42:21,813 Speaker 6: walk in the store and you or I walk in, 869 00:42:22,293 --> 00:42:27,093 Speaker 6: we have never offended in that particular store, our image 870 00:42:27,173 --> 00:42:33,133 Speaker 6: is deleted immediately. There's no storing of any data. If, 871 00:42:33,173 --> 00:42:36,133 Speaker 6: on the other hand, John Smith, who last time he 872 00:42:36,293 --> 00:42:41,172 Speaker 6: was in the store he spat and kicked that starre, yeah, 873 00:42:41,813 --> 00:42:45,212 Speaker 6: he he has loaded up into the system. He comes 874 00:42:45,293 --> 00:42:49,213 Speaker 6: back into store after he's been trespassed, an alert goes 875 00:42:49,373 --> 00:42:54,293 Speaker 6: to a device that tells the store that John Smith 876 00:42:54,333 --> 00:42:56,893 Speaker 6: has just entered. Now there's a couple of things that 877 00:42:57,013 --> 00:43:02,013 Speaker 6: happen here. Firstly, the store can traffic lighter a person 878 00:43:02,093 --> 00:43:04,013 Speaker 6: that they enter in, so they might they might traff 879 00:43:04,053 --> 00:43:07,333 Speaker 6: it like someone to say, really violent and aggressive, do 880 00:43:07,493 --> 00:43:10,533 Speaker 6: not approach, call the police immediately. You know, based on 881 00:43:10,653 --> 00:43:14,333 Speaker 6: the previous actions that this person has had in that store, 882 00:43:15,693 --> 00:43:18,973 Speaker 6: and so you would know, and part of the way 883 00:43:19,013 --> 00:43:21,652 Speaker 6: you create a safer work environment is that you would 884 00:43:21,733 --> 00:43:24,653 Speaker 6: then know that you've got an extremely violent and aggressive 885 00:43:24,693 --> 00:43:26,693 Speaker 6: person in store, and he's not to be he or 886 00:43:26,733 --> 00:43:29,773 Speaker 6: she has not to be approached. You might have somebody 887 00:43:29,853 --> 00:43:33,493 Speaker 6: else who is you know, maybe they had a bad day, 888 00:43:33,733 --> 00:43:37,213 Speaker 6: they haven't offended previously, they were abusive in store, but 889 00:43:37,293 --> 00:43:39,693 Speaker 6: they have been trespassed for three months or something like that, 890 00:43:39,893 --> 00:43:43,533 Speaker 6: so they might well be approachable. So you could easily 891 00:43:43,773 --> 00:43:46,653 Speaker 6: approach them as they have come to start to have 892 00:43:46,773 --> 00:43:50,213 Speaker 6: come in the store and say, excuse me John Smith, 893 00:43:50,213 --> 00:43:52,973 Speaker 6: will use John Smith again, or maybe you'll use free dag. 894 00:43:53,093 --> 00:43:55,333 Speaker 6: Excuse me, free dag. But you know you've been trespassed, 895 00:43:55,373 --> 00:43:57,653 Speaker 6: you're not meant to be in here. And you know 896 00:43:57,933 --> 00:44:00,693 Speaker 6: eighty to ninety percent of the time you approach somebody 897 00:44:00,813 --> 00:44:05,533 Speaker 6: upon entry and acknowledge them around the actions are taken 898 00:44:05,573 --> 00:44:08,093 Speaker 6: previously and they shouldn't be in store. They will turn away, 899 00:44:08,413 --> 00:44:12,093 Speaker 6: turn around and walk out, and they apologize, and then 900 00:44:12,173 --> 00:44:14,493 Speaker 6: there might be some other people that you might just 901 00:44:14,693 --> 00:44:18,693 Speaker 6: monitor and store. And what facial recognition does is that 902 00:44:19,453 --> 00:44:22,573 Speaker 6: it's a it's a biometric that it takes a view 903 00:44:22,653 --> 00:44:25,933 Speaker 6: of the face that matches up your facial features. The 904 00:44:26,493 --> 00:44:30,973 Speaker 6: minimum match was set at ninety percent, and what food 905 00:44:31,013 --> 00:44:33,653 Speaker 6: Stuffs recognized is that the quality of the photo you 906 00:44:33,733 --> 00:44:35,693 Speaker 6: put into the system needs to be quite high to 907 00:44:35,853 --> 00:44:39,333 Speaker 6: ensure that you get an accurate match. So the threshold 908 00:44:39,493 --> 00:44:42,853 Speaker 6: was ninety percent. If anything was over ninety four or 909 00:44:42,973 --> 00:44:45,693 Speaker 6: ninety five percent, they knew that virtually every time it 910 00:44:45,773 --> 00:44:49,293 Speaker 6: was one hundred percent match between ninety and ninety four 911 00:44:49,333 --> 00:44:51,333 Speaker 6: percent has to take more care because there is an 912 00:44:51,373 --> 00:44:54,933 Speaker 6: element of risk in there, and so with every alert 913 00:44:55,013 --> 00:44:58,133 Speaker 6: that they get, they'd have two trained people would look 914 00:44:58,213 --> 00:45:01,653 Speaker 6: at that photo and consider whether or not it was 915 00:45:01,733 --> 00:45:03,733 Speaker 6: the person that was in their system. 916 00:45:04,613 --> 00:45:07,533 Speaker 2: So, when going going forward with the situation, you say, 917 00:45:07,613 --> 00:45:09,933 Speaker 2: this was just sort of people splitting and violent offenders 918 00:45:09,933 --> 00:45:14,173 Speaker 2: and start. So shoplifters aren't the ones being targeted in 919 00:45:14,253 --> 00:45:17,133 Speaker 2: this trial, But would you see going forward that shoplifters 920 00:45:17,333 --> 00:45:21,533 Speaker 2: would have their faces loaded into this facial recognition technology. 921 00:45:22,453 --> 00:45:25,853 Speaker 6: Yeah, so shoplifters may well have also been included because 922 00:45:25,893 --> 00:45:29,053 Speaker 6: people that are feeling are often violent and aggressive with that, 923 00:45:29,813 --> 00:45:32,973 Speaker 6: so there's a combination of things that the primary reason 924 00:45:33,173 --> 00:45:36,893 Speaker 6: was to keep the staff safe, and by by understanding 925 00:45:36,973 --> 00:45:40,013 Speaker 6: who's in the store enables you to create a safer 926 00:45:40,093 --> 00:45:44,053 Speaker 6: work environment for your staff and for your customers. So 927 00:45:44,733 --> 00:45:47,453 Speaker 6: it ultimately, you know, it does a dual purpose, right, 928 00:45:47,533 --> 00:45:50,773 Speaker 6: It will make the store safer and will reduce the 929 00:45:50,853 --> 00:45:53,652 Speaker 6: amount of offending because most of the people that are 930 00:45:53,813 --> 00:45:59,693 Speaker 6: being violent and abusive and aggressive are also asfending to 931 00:45:59,733 --> 00:46:02,413 Speaker 6: a certain degree in store. I mean, you can't go 932 00:46:02,573 --> 00:46:04,253 Speaker 6: and say to your work collar. You can't go and 933 00:46:04,373 --> 00:46:06,653 Speaker 6: split it them allset or punch them. I've seen videos 934 00:46:07,213 --> 00:46:10,253 Speaker 6: of a four second interaction between a customer and a 935 00:46:10,333 --> 00:46:12,933 Speaker 6: staff member where the customer just punches the staff member 936 00:46:12,973 --> 00:46:16,733 Speaker 6: and say, and it's got accelerated in four seconds. They 937 00:46:16,813 --> 00:46:19,013 Speaker 6: walk up to the counter, they have a conversation, they 938 00:46:19,173 --> 00:46:24,333 Speaker 6: smack them straight away. I've seen other images where people's 939 00:46:24,373 --> 00:46:27,053 Speaker 6: gone in store and they have set fire, They've done 940 00:46:27,293 --> 00:46:29,613 Speaker 6: arson in a store to steal a trolley load of gods. 941 00:46:30,253 --> 00:46:33,013 Speaker 6: So they've gone in there and that puts every staff 942 00:46:33,093 --> 00:46:35,253 Speaker 6: member in danger. Right, if your business is going to 943 00:46:35,333 --> 00:46:39,493 Speaker 6: be set a light that is quite stressful environment to 944 00:46:39,573 --> 00:46:41,973 Speaker 6: be in, so you don't want to help the host 945 00:46:42,053 --> 00:46:44,093 Speaker 6: people coming back in your store, and you want to 946 00:46:44,133 --> 00:46:47,773 Speaker 6: protect you. So it's a dual purpose, right, It protects 947 00:46:47,933 --> 00:46:50,493 Speaker 6: The primary thing is that it protects the staff and 948 00:46:50,573 --> 00:46:53,253 Speaker 6: creates a safe environment. But at the same time, these 949 00:46:53,293 --> 00:46:56,173 Speaker 6: are people that are offending, so it will reduce the 950 00:46:56,933 --> 00:46:58,413 Speaker 6: level of crime and it can be used as a 951 00:46:58,733 --> 00:47:02,613 Speaker 6: preventative tool rather than a reactive tool after the event. 952 00:47:03,053 --> 00:47:05,133 Speaker 6: And the key thing is that if you can approach 953 00:47:05,213 --> 00:47:09,253 Speaker 6: someone within the first minutism being in the store, they 954 00:47:09,373 --> 00:47:11,933 Speaker 6: have not got themselves worked up into a frenzy and 955 00:47:11,933 --> 00:47:14,093 Speaker 6: they're not going to be as aggressive and violent as 956 00:47:14,133 --> 00:47:16,493 Speaker 6: you are. If you get them straight away, if they've 957 00:47:16,493 --> 00:47:18,413 Speaker 6: had time to mooch around the store and they know 958 00:47:18,573 --> 00:47:20,933 Speaker 6: that they've got to get your adrenaline up to force 959 00:47:21,013 --> 00:47:23,253 Speaker 6: through a trolley worth of goods and not pay for it. 960 00:47:24,053 --> 00:47:26,293 Speaker 6: If you're doing that before they've even got anything in 961 00:47:26,333 --> 00:47:29,093 Speaker 6: a trolley or in a bag, you get a much 962 00:47:29,173 --> 00:47:31,733 Speaker 6: better outcome, and certainly the outcomes and the trials for 963 00:47:31,933 --> 00:47:34,053 Speaker 6: that time and time again, we're. 964 00:47:33,853 --> 00:47:37,453 Speaker 2: Talking to Carolyn Young, Retail New Zealand chief executive. So 965 00:47:37,693 --> 00:47:41,133 Speaker 2: is it security that approaches the people? So you have 966 00:47:41,853 --> 00:47:46,213 Speaker 2: security guards on staff and they approach them. It's not 967 00:47:46,333 --> 00:47:48,573 Speaker 2: up to the checkout person to approach these people. 968 00:47:48,373 --> 00:47:48,732 Speaker 3: That are ping. 969 00:47:49,693 --> 00:47:51,533 Speaker 6: Well, no, it's not up to the checkout person. So 970 00:47:51,933 --> 00:47:55,253 Speaker 6: it'll be people in store that have been identified and 971 00:47:55,373 --> 00:47:58,293 Speaker 6: have been trained. So it could be a security guard 972 00:47:58,333 --> 00:48:00,253 Speaker 6: if there's no security guard on judy, because there's not, 973 00:48:00,333 --> 00:48:02,613 Speaker 6: there's two people, So you'll probably have three or four 974 00:48:02,613 --> 00:48:05,773 Speaker 6: people across the environment of a supermarket that are trained 975 00:48:05,773 --> 00:48:08,613 Speaker 6: at any point in time that could use do the 976 00:48:08,693 --> 00:48:12,053 Speaker 6: identification and would get better alert. So, for example, if 977 00:48:12,133 --> 00:48:14,853 Speaker 6: it's at a time when a security guard isn't on duty, 978 00:48:14,973 --> 00:48:17,252 Speaker 6: then it would be it'll be two other senior people 979 00:48:17,333 --> 00:48:20,013 Speaker 6: within the store, but it wouldn't be a checkout operator 980 00:48:20,053 --> 00:48:22,373 Speaker 6: that would be asked to ask someone to leave. It 981 00:48:22,493 --> 00:48:25,813 Speaker 6: someone that's trained and skilled and doing so and can identify, 982 00:48:26,413 --> 00:48:30,213 Speaker 6: you know, as this person violent and aggressive and do 983 00:48:30,293 --> 00:48:32,013 Speaker 6: we need to call a police straight away? And that's 984 00:48:32,053 --> 00:48:34,453 Speaker 6: a really that's probably one of the greatest tools is 985 00:48:34,573 --> 00:48:37,893 Speaker 6: knowing that people that are really aggressive can be addressed 986 00:48:37,933 --> 00:48:39,653 Speaker 6: in a way in which you don't have to you 987 00:48:39,773 --> 00:48:42,133 Speaker 6: call the police. They will come because they know that 988 00:48:42,173 --> 00:48:46,373 Speaker 6: you've already identified someone that's been high level offending previously. 989 00:48:46,693 --> 00:48:48,933 Speaker 4: What are the laws in place for the storage of 990 00:48:49,133 --> 00:48:51,373 Speaker 4: that data, carond because a lot of people they may 991 00:48:51,773 --> 00:48:54,453 Speaker 4: unfairly be freaking out they con dir upt images of 992 00:48:54,613 --> 00:48:58,613 Speaker 4: Minority Report nineteen eighty four. But as the strict laws 993 00:48:58,973 --> 00:49:02,173 Speaker 4: and fail safes in place, that that data is deleted, 994 00:49:02,213 --> 00:49:05,053 Speaker 4: as you say, if nobody does anything wrong and certainly 995 00:49:05,133 --> 00:49:06,252 Speaker 4: can't get into the wrong hands. 996 00:49:07,133 --> 00:49:10,413 Speaker 6: Yeah, couple of things. I guess, well, there's quite a 997 00:49:10,453 --> 00:49:12,692 Speaker 6: lot of things not try and remember to cover everything off. 998 00:49:12,773 --> 00:49:17,213 Speaker 6: But firstly, for those people that are not on the 999 00:49:17,333 --> 00:49:20,692 Speaker 6: alert list, your images to meet deleted immediately because there's 1000 00:49:20,733 --> 00:49:22,573 Speaker 6: nothing to match against. So within the second of you 1001 00:49:22,653 --> 00:49:27,133 Speaker 6: being in the store, your image is deleted. The person 1002 00:49:27,253 --> 00:49:30,053 Speaker 6: who has created the alert or the image that's created 1003 00:49:30,173 --> 00:49:34,733 Speaker 6: the alert, that file is deleted at midnight that night. 1004 00:49:34,813 --> 00:49:36,733 Speaker 6: This is how the trial was a set up with 1005 00:49:36,813 --> 00:49:40,213 Speaker 6: the Privacy Commissioner. So that means that the store has 1006 00:49:40,253 --> 00:49:46,013 Speaker 6: got till midnight to complete a report around what happened? 1007 00:49:46,413 --> 00:49:47,853 Speaker 6: Was it the right person? You know, all of those 1008 00:49:47,893 --> 00:49:51,013 Speaker 6: sorts of things and file that. But then that file 1009 00:49:51,173 --> 00:49:55,053 Speaker 6: is then removed from the system, and that's controlled through 1010 00:49:55,453 --> 00:49:57,773 Speaker 6: third parties that controlled all of that stuff, so it's 1011 00:49:57,813 --> 00:50:02,613 Speaker 6: not stored anywhere you can't go into. And the computer 1012 00:50:02,893 --> 00:50:07,333 Speaker 6: that the financial the facial recognition technology sits on is 1013 00:50:07,373 --> 00:50:10,493 Speaker 6: a separate computer. It's not on a network, it's not 1014 00:50:10,653 --> 00:50:14,493 Speaker 6: on Wi Fi, it's not on any system that is 1015 00:50:14,693 --> 00:50:18,533 Speaker 6: part of a supermarket network or within the store. It's 1016 00:50:18,653 --> 00:50:24,293 Speaker 6: completely standalone. So and it doesn't store anything beyond midnight 1017 00:50:24,493 --> 00:50:27,333 Speaker 6: of an alert from that person. So some of those 1018 00:50:27,773 --> 00:50:30,653 Speaker 6: things might be tweaked a little bit. You can imagine, 1019 00:50:30,813 --> 00:50:34,093 Speaker 6: as an example, in a supermarket, if you are matching 1020 00:50:34,173 --> 00:50:37,773 Speaker 6: a face and only the face and you and it's 1021 00:50:37,813 --> 00:50:41,173 Speaker 6: a ninety six percent match, then you know that's that person. 1022 00:50:41,253 --> 00:50:45,013 Speaker 6: Come into store. Very hard to find that person on 1023 00:50:45,093 --> 00:50:47,533 Speaker 6: a Saturday astronoment. You've got hundreds of people in the 1024 00:50:47,653 --> 00:50:50,133 Speaker 6: store because you don't you don't have any idea what 1025 00:50:50,173 --> 00:50:54,253 Speaker 6: they're wearing at all. Did you find all you've got 1026 00:50:54,293 --> 00:50:56,093 Speaker 6: from the image as a face? 1027 00:50:56,293 --> 00:50:56,493 Speaker 3: Yeah? 1028 00:50:56,933 --> 00:50:59,853 Speaker 2: Did you find because you said this was heavily sign 1029 00:51:00,213 --> 00:51:03,093 Speaker 2: signed and signposted for people coming into the stores that 1030 00:51:03,133 --> 00:51:04,973 Speaker 2: are on the trial, did you find that it affected 1031 00:51:05,093 --> 00:51:08,653 Speaker 2: numbers going in, because that's really if people are coming stable, 1032 00:51:08,693 --> 00:51:10,133 Speaker 2: if people are going in and they're happy to be 1033 00:51:10,733 --> 00:51:15,933 Speaker 2: have their their faces recognized. That I mean round about 1034 00:51:15,973 --> 00:51:19,453 Speaker 2: way of saying decision didn't affect the business. 1035 00:51:21,013 --> 00:51:23,133 Speaker 6: No, not in a negative way, not like that. No, 1036 00:51:23,293 --> 00:51:25,813 Speaker 6: not at all. There's always people that will question whether 1037 00:51:26,013 --> 00:51:29,773 Speaker 6: they're comfortable with something like that technology being used, and 1038 00:51:29,853 --> 00:51:31,813 Speaker 6: they may choose not to go install. But there was 1039 00:51:31,893 --> 00:51:35,813 Speaker 6: no absolutely less well less than one percent. And then 1040 00:51:36,093 --> 00:51:39,173 Speaker 6: there's always ways in which people can access further information 1041 00:51:39,373 --> 00:51:42,013 Speaker 6: via a website around how it's run and what happens 1042 00:51:42,053 --> 00:51:44,453 Speaker 6: in a FAQ on the website and those sorts of things. 1043 00:51:44,533 --> 00:51:47,533 Speaker 6: So the key is making sure that you communicate really 1044 00:51:47,613 --> 00:51:50,453 Speaker 6: well and really strongly with your customers so that they're 1045 00:51:50,493 --> 00:51:53,493 Speaker 6: confident when they're coming install that they're being well looked 1046 00:51:53,533 --> 00:51:56,692 Speaker 6: after and that people aren't using their images in any 1047 00:51:56,773 --> 00:51:58,133 Speaker 6: way that's inappropriate. 1048 00:51:58,413 --> 00:52:00,293 Speaker 2: Well, just two questions to finish, Thank you so much 1049 00:52:00,333 --> 00:52:04,013 Speaker 2: for your time. Will the data be shared with the 1050 00:52:04,093 --> 00:52:07,293 Speaker 2: police via the Aurora network? And secondly, what about people 1051 00:52:07,373 --> 00:52:09,813 Speaker 2: wearing masks and head coverings or with disguises? 1052 00:52:10,893 --> 00:52:13,973 Speaker 6: Great question, right, Let's let's deal with the seat of 1053 00:52:14,053 --> 00:52:17,453 Speaker 6: the last question. First, So what you know, especially if 1054 00:52:17,493 --> 00:52:20,172 Speaker 6: you've got security sitting outside your store, if someone's coming 1055 00:52:20,253 --> 00:52:23,853 Speaker 6: in with a mask, hoddy up and dark glasses, that's 1056 00:52:24,453 --> 00:52:29,853 Speaker 6: that's screams and catterlets travel right, telltale signs, and so 1057 00:52:30,013 --> 00:52:34,453 Speaker 6: what normally happens. The facial recognition system normally has between 1058 00:52:34,613 --> 00:52:38,373 Speaker 6: two and four cameras in store that's all right at 1059 00:52:38,413 --> 00:52:42,053 Speaker 6: the entry, not linked to any of the CCTV or anything. 1060 00:52:42,213 --> 00:52:45,973 Speaker 6: So if they don't capture them in the first two cameras, 1061 00:52:46,533 --> 00:52:51,493 Speaker 6: often someone that has that hasn't been stopped by security 1062 00:52:51,533 --> 00:52:53,813 Speaker 6: for the way they dress with the hot and the 1063 00:52:53,893 --> 00:52:56,813 Speaker 6: mask and the gloves and in the shades and everything. 1064 00:52:57,173 --> 00:52:59,413 Speaker 6: They'll take the shades off and the mask off the 1065 00:52:59,493 --> 00:53:01,053 Speaker 6: minute they get in the store, and they can get 1066 00:53:01,093 --> 00:53:03,493 Speaker 6: picked up on the second camera. But it is certainly 1067 00:53:03,773 --> 00:53:06,053 Speaker 6: a high alert situation. If you see someone like that, 1068 00:53:06,493 --> 00:53:08,133 Speaker 6: it spells trouble with a capital T. 1069 00:53:08,453 --> 00:53:12,533 Speaker 3: Gotcha, and just on the AURA network, Carolyn, Yes, No, it's. 1070 00:53:12,413 --> 00:53:15,533 Speaker 6: A completely separate system. You can't transfer any data across 1071 00:53:15,573 --> 00:53:18,172 Speaker 6: to any other system. It's not part of that. If 1072 00:53:18,213 --> 00:53:20,413 Speaker 6: somebody is ascending in store, you would be using your 1073 00:53:20,493 --> 00:53:24,693 Speaker 6: CCTV images to report those through and remembering that not 1074 00:53:24,773 --> 00:53:28,813 Speaker 6: every retailer uses AURA. So whether you'd be reporting through 1075 00:53:28,813 --> 00:53:31,652 Speaker 6: the one oh five or one one one or through AURA, 1076 00:53:32,453 --> 00:53:38,252 Speaker 6: nothing comes off the Facial Recognition Technology platform To enable 1077 00:53:38,293 --> 00:53:39,933 Speaker 6: you to do that, you have to use your CCTV 1078 00:53:40,093 --> 00:53:40,253 Speaker 6: for that. 1079 00:53:40,453 --> 00:53:43,652 Speaker 4: Gotcha, Carolyn, Thank you very much for having to chat 1080 00:53:43,733 --> 00:53:46,693 Speaker 4: with us.

I mean, what's your take on it. Do 1240 01:01:20,533 --> 01:01:23,893 Speaker 4: you think it is more treacherous for parents to try 1241 01:01:23,973 --> 01:01:26,773 Speaker 4: and tackle that now, or that kids are coming up 1242 01:01:26,813 --> 01:01:29,293 Speaker 4: to them at an earlier age with questions that they've 1243 01:01:29,333 --> 01:01:31,453 Speaker 4: got to try and answer the best way they can't. 1244 01:01:31,653 --> 01:01:32,773 Speaker 3: Oh, I reckon this.

You know, 1247 01:01:44,453 --> 01:01:45,973 Speaker 2: one of those things that happens to you when you've 1248 01:01:46,013 --> 01:01:48,693 Speaker 2: got kids, as you watch these movies and you can't 1249 01:01:48,693 --> 01:01:51,133 Speaker 2: wait to show your kid this movie, and then you've 1250 01:01:51,213 --> 01:01:55,093 Speaker 2: totally forgotten about the quite intense six scenes and it 1251 01:01:55,173 --> 01:01:57,653 Speaker 2: pops up, and then there's all kinds of questions. I 1252 01:01:57,813 --> 01:01:59,533 Speaker 2: just think you just have to not be afraid of it. 1253 01:02:00,653 --> 01:02:04,653 Speaker 3: You know, you can't make it a scary or weird thing. 1254 01:02:04,933 --> 01:02:07,413 Speaker 3: It just has to be something you ask questions straight up. 1255 01:02:08,413 --> 01:02:09,893 Speaker 2: I mean I would argue that you have to get 1256 01:02:09,933 --> 01:02:13,893 Speaker 2: into it before puberty.

I mean, I think you 1260 01:02:24,933 --> 01:02:27,813 Speaker 2: definitely want to control the discourse as much as the 1261 01:02:27,853 --> 01:02:28,333 Speaker 2: school does. 1262 01:02:28,453 --> 01:02:30,133 Speaker 4: Well, that was my next question is do you wait 1263 01:02:30,173 --> 01:02:31,893 Speaker 4: for the child to come to you or do you 1264 01:02:32,093 --> 01:02:36,053 Speaker 4: try and go to the children first and sit them 1265 01:02:36,093 --> 01:02:37,773 Speaker 4: down and have that chat.

And the more 1309 01:04:26,133 --> 01:04:28,133 Speaker 15: that I look at the sexy and stuff that's taught 1310 01:04:28,213 --> 01:04:30,653 Speaker 15: in some schools, the more I'm grateful that my kids 1311 01:04:30,733 --> 01:04:32,893 Speaker 15: went through most of the system without it, because that's 1312 01:04:32,973 --> 01:04:35,493 Speaker 15: not what some of it isn't what you want them 1313 01:04:35,533 --> 01:04:39,693 Speaker 15: to know either, So parents have always been the best 1314 01:04:39,813 --> 01:04:42,413 Speaker 15: people to teach most kids about it. It was quite 1315 01:04:42,453 --> 01:04:46,613 Speaker 15: concerning just the overall push in the narrative that parents 1316 01:04:46,653 --> 01:04:48,973 Speaker 15: are not the best people to teach their kids about stuff. 1317 01:04:49,013 --> 01:04:51,653 Speaker 15: I mean, they know about it, otherwise your kids wouldn't 1318 01:04:51,653 --> 01:04:52,133 Speaker 15: have existed. 1319 01:04:53,213 --> 01:04:56,613 Speaker 2: What about, Penny, What about the parents that just don't 1320 01:04:56,653 --> 01:05:00,493 Speaker 2: get round to it and for whatever reason, maybe they're 1321 01:05:00,533 --> 01:05:04,933 Speaker 2: poor parents, or maybe they're just find it too awkward 1322 01:05:05,013 --> 01:05:06,013 Speaker 2: and never find the moment and. 1323 01:05:06,053 --> 01:05:06,813 Speaker 3: Never get round to it. 1324 01:05:07,053 --> 01:05:09,093 Speaker 2: Do you think that the school should be taking up 1325 01:05:09,093 --> 01:05:10,933 Speaker 2: some of the slack there the schools. 1326 01:05:11,293 --> 01:05:13,693 Speaker 15: I think there's some I think there's some cultures that 1327 01:05:13,813 --> 01:05:17,453 Speaker 15: would be that would that finds us harder to talk about. 1328 01:05:18,333 --> 01:05:21,093 Speaker 15: But I don't think that that's representative of the majority 1329 01:05:21,133 --> 01:05:25,013 Speaker 15: of the population, And therefore I don't believe that mandating 1330 01:05:25,853 --> 01:05:30,773 Speaker 15: sex education and then not being transparent with parents about 1331 01:05:31,213 --> 01:05:33,453 Speaker 15: what's being taught, which is what's going on, is the 1332 01:05:33,493 --> 01:05:36,533 Speaker 15: way to solve that problem. I think there's a better 1333 01:05:36,773 --> 01:05:41,933 Speaker 15: way to empower parents and to yeah, rather than to 1334 01:05:42,213 --> 01:05:44,333 Speaker 15: say that the parents are doing a bad job. I 1335 01:05:44,373 --> 01:05:46,933 Speaker 15: don't know why that narrative has managed to get so big, 1336 01:05:47,133 --> 01:05:49,373 Speaker 15: because an actual fact, I don't think the problem is 1337 01:05:49,413 --> 01:05:51,173 Speaker 15: as big as it's being made out to be. 1338 01:05:52,293 --> 01:05:55,253 Speaker 4: Is it harder, do you think, for parents in today's 1339 01:05:55,293 --> 01:05:58,853 Speaker 4: age than it has been with excess for a lot 1340 01:05:58,893 --> 01:06:00,973 Speaker 4: of young people to pretty much any information that they 1341 01:06:01,053 --> 01:06:03,533 Speaker 4: want on the internet. Does that make things more difficult 1342 01:06:03,573 --> 01:06:05,013 Speaker 4: that you've got to try and get them a bit younger? 1343 01:06:07,733 --> 01:06:10,173 Speaker 15: I think that if we're parents, should be parenting and 1344 01:06:10,293 --> 01:06:13,893 Speaker 15: actually realizing that the stuff that's available with their kids 1345 01:06:13,933 --> 01:06:16,653 Speaker 15: online is more harmful than we could have ever imagined, 1346 01:06:16,813 --> 01:06:18,533 Speaker 15: and that's something that needs to be dealt with in 1347 01:06:18,613 --> 01:06:24,333 Speaker 15: the home. But I also, you know, the massive difference 1348 01:06:24,453 --> 01:06:26,093 Speaker 15: is going on. When I was at school, we had 1349 01:06:26,133 --> 01:06:31,173 Speaker 15: sex ed. Now it's sexuality ed, which is very very different, 1350 01:06:31,653 --> 01:06:36,093 Speaker 15: and it's very ideological. And you know, when we were 1351 01:06:36,133 --> 01:06:39,093 Speaker 15: growing up, there weren't furies, and there weren't all the 1352 01:06:39,213 --> 01:06:43,693 Speaker 15: other one hundred different genders and now there is and biologically, 1353 01:06:43,933 --> 01:06:47,813 Speaker 15: as species, we haven't changed, but what's changed is the ideology. 1354 01:06:47,853 --> 01:06:50,293 Speaker 15: And parents need to understand that sex ed that we 1355 01:06:50,453 --> 01:06:52,973 Speaker 15: grew up with is not the same as what children 1356 01:06:53,013 --> 01:06:54,333 Speaker 15: are receiven in class today. 1357 01:06:54,973 --> 01:06:57,813 Speaker 2: And do you believe that the sex ed that they 1358 01:06:57,853 --> 01:07:00,053 Speaker 2: should get should be, for a want of a bit 1359 01:07:00,093 --> 01:07:03,853 Speaker 2: of a word, more functional. I remember my son, one 1360 01:07:03,853 --> 01:07:06,613 Speaker 2: of my sons, came home from school and he was like, Wow, Dad, 1361 01:07:07,053 --> 01:07:08,053 Speaker 2: it's great to be a boy. 1362 01:07:08,533 --> 01:07:08,693 Speaker 9: Way. 1363 01:07:09,213 --> 01:07:12,213 Speaker 2: The stuff's really easy for us because of what was 1364 01:07:12,293 --> 01:07:15,573 Speaker 2: being described in terms of the biological functions that boys 1365 01:07:15,613 --> 01:07:17,813 Speaker 2: and girls go through as they hit puberty. So do 1366 01:07:17,853 --> 01:07:20,213 Speaker 2: you think it should be more along just those lines, 1367 01:07:20,373 --> 01:07:23,733 Speaker 2: just the stuff that they need to understand to be 1368 01:07:23,853 --> 01:07:26,733 Speaker 2: able to go to school and know what's happening to them. 1369 01:07:28,893 --> 01:07:31,213 Speaker 15: Well, it's good that he's come home saying that, because 1370 01:07:31,253 --> 01:07:34,773 Speaker 15: he's obviously getting biological information, which is great, and we've 1371 01:07:34,773 --> 01:07:37,293 Speaker 15: always had that in schools when Miles growing up, it 1372 01:07:37,413 --> 01:07:40,253 Speaker 15: was an intermediate age. The problem that's happening now is 1373 01:07:40,333 --> 01:07:44,213 Speaker 15: that kids are being taught stuff from when they're five 1374 01:07:44,333 --> 01:07:46,893 Speaker 15: years old that's quite sexual in nature and gets more 1375 01:07:46,973 --> 01:07:50,893 Speaker 15: so so the whole framework has changed when we talk 1376 01:07:50,933 --> 01:07:53,813 Speaker 15: to parents and explain that the stuff now in school 1377 01:07:53,853 --> 01:07:58,053 Speaker 15: from five year olds. You know, if people are thinking 1378 01:07:58,173 --> 01:08:01,693 Speaker 15: that we should be teaching five year old sexual topics, 1379 01:08:01,773 --> 01:08:05,013 Speaker 15: we need to have a bigger question about society. We 1380 01:08:05,093 --> 01:08:09,373 Speaker 15: shouldn't be loading children with adult concepts. Their brains are 1381 01:08:09,413 --> 01:08:11,253 Speaker 15: not ready for it, and that they take their body 1382 01:08:11,333 --> 01:08:13,613 Speaker 15: they take it literally. Like we hear about stories of 1383 01:08:14,053 --> 01:08:16,813 Speaker 15: you know, eight year olds who come home questioning. 1384 01:08:16,412 --> 01:08:18,532 Speaker 6: Whether they're meant a boy that's meant meant to be 1385 01:08:18,572 --> 01:08:20,372 Speaker 6: a girl because they got told it in class. 1386 01:08:20,572 --> 01:08:24,892 Speaker 15: Their brains are not ready for the ideological political narratives 1387 01:08:24,893 --> 01:08:27,013 Speaker 15: that's been pushed on them. And it's so different from 1388 01:08:27,053 --> 01:08:27,492 Speaker 15: sex ed. 1389 01:08:28,492 --> 01:08:30,973 Speaker 2: So, Penny, what would you what would you say? So 1390 01:08:31,013 --> 01:08:34,133 Speaker 2: when you talk about sex ed versus sexuality? What what 1391 01:08:34,253 --> 01:08:37,293 Speaker 2: would you see? Basically are the things that need to 1392 01:08:37,372 --> 01:08:41,492 Speaker 2: be taught at schools and and you know what are 1393 01:08:41,652 --> 01:08:42,932 Speaker 2: what are the basics and when? 1394 01:08:45,173 --> 01:08:48,932 Speaker 15: So the basics would be that there is a binary 1395 01:08:48,973 --> 01:08:51,213 Speaker 15: difference between boys and girls. But you don't need to 1396 01:08:51,253 --> 01:08:53,532 Speaker 15: teach that from young because they actually figure this out 1397 01:08:53,612 --> 01:08:57,852 Speaker 15: because they actually know stuff without being taught explicitly in 1398 01:08:57,933 --> 01:09:01,892 Speaker 15: the class, you know, and then as they're growing up 1399 01:09:02,213 --> 01:09:06,932 Speaker 15: more about their you know, healthy relationships and their pubertal changes, 1400 01:09:06,973 --> 01:09:11,132 Speaker 15: their body changes, and they do need to be helped 1401 01:09:11,452 --> 01:09:14,333 Speaker 15: to know how to deal with the assault that is 1402 01:09:14,492 --> 01:09:17,452 Speaker 15: the sexualized world that they live in, which is online 1403 01:09:17,732 --> 01:09:20,932 Speaker 15: and in the school and everywhere and in the TV 1404 01:09:21,053 --> 01:09:24,053 Speaker 15: and everything. But it's got to be taught in a 1405 01:09:24,093 --> 01:09:26,772 Speaker 15: way that doesn't further sexualize them. There is content in 1406 01:09:26,933 --> 01:09:31,133 Speaker 15: classes in schools that we know about that parents have 1407 01:09:31,253 --> 01:09:34,532 Speaker 15: seen and kids have told us about that looks like 1408 01:09:34,772 --> 01:09:37,652 Speaker 15: porn and it looks like grooming. Now, if you pass 1409 01:09:37,812 --> 01:09:39,812 Speaker 15: that to some kid out on the street, you'd probably 1410 01:09:39,853 --> 01:09:43,213 Speaker 15: be arrested. But because it's been taught under the guise 1411 01:09:43,253 --> 01:09:47,492 Speaker 15: of relationship and sexuality education, it's apparently allowed, and not 1412 01:09:47,612 --> 01:09:52,772 Speaker 15: only allowed, but parents often aren't told what the content is. 1413 01:09:52,853 --> 01:09:55,572 Speaker 15: They're told that due to copyright, the parents can't know. Now, 1414 01:09:56,732 --> 01:10:00,532 Speaker 15: Never would a parent think that the lessons that they're 1415 01:10:00,572 --> 01:10:02,532 Speaker 15: being taught the kids have been taught in class should 1416 01:10:02,532 --> 01:10:05,492 Speaker 15: be copyright, particularly not when the Education and Training Act 1417 01:10:05,893 --> 01:10:09,173 Speaker 15: actually says that parents cannot doubt How can a parent 1418 01:10:09,213 --> 01:10:12,013 Speaker 15: opt out if they've been told the content is copyright. 1419 01:10:12,013 --> 01:10:14,133 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, thank you so much for your call, Penny. 1420 01:10:14,173 --> 01:10:16,452 Speaker 2: You're getting a lot of support on the text machine now. 1421 01:10:16,692 --> 01:10:19,052 Speaker 4: Oh one hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number 1422 01:10:19,053 --> 01:10:22,172 Speaker 4: to call.

Back in high school, there was 1427 01:10:37,013 --> 01:10:39,612 Speaker 2: an old school videotape that just got handed around between 1428 01:10:39,652 --> 01:10:43,253 Speaker 2: all of us. My copy was greatly disintegrated. 1429 01:10:44,013 --> 01:10:46,372 Speaker 3: All right, all right, thank you for that, Yeah, very much. 1430 01:10:46,572 --> 01:10:49,372 Speaker 4: Coming through all right, it's thirteen to three. 1431 01:10:49,492 --> 01:10:51,812 Speaker 3: Back in a month, the. 1432 01:10:51,893 --> 01:10:54,452 Speaker 1: Issues that affect you and a bit of fun along 1433 01:10:54,492 --> 01:10:57,852 Speaker 1: the way.

Brohan, 1440 01:11:15,253 --> 01:11:16,652 Speaker 2: You just graduated from high school. 1441 01:11:17,612 --> 01:11:22,173 Speaker 16: Yeah, yeah, well yeah, I think I think currently, yeah, 1442 01:11:22,213 --> 01:11:23,572 Speaker 16: this I think it's a lilliver bit early. I mean 1443 01:11:23,572 --> 01:11:26,173 Speaker 16: I remember even when I was in primary school about 1444 01:11:26,213 --> 01:11:32,133 Speaker 16: fifteen years ago, like they started off way too early 1445 01:11:32,173 --> 01:11:34,572 Speaker 16: in my opinion. It was stuff that I didn't know. 1446 01:11:34,732 --> 01:11:36,093 Speaker 16: I came home and my parents were all a bit 1447 01:11:36,133 --> 01:11:38,173 Speaker 16: shocked about the stuff I was asking and it was 1448 01:11:38,293 --> 01:11:42,372 Speaker 16: just a bit like I agree that in high school 1449 01:11:42,412 --> 01:11:44,333 Speaker 16: definitely things would be taught and even intermediate, but in 1450 01:11:44,412 --> 01:11:48,053 Speaker 16: primary school, like the previous lady was talking about, it's 1451 01:11:48,133 --> 01:11:48,333 Speaker 16: just a. 1452 01:11:48,333 --> 01:11:49,932 Speaker 3: Bit early, right, Rahana. 1453 01:11:50,013 --> 01:11:52,812 Speaker 2: Do you think from talking to other people your age, 1454 01:11:53,053 --> 01:11:56,532 Speaker 2: that was a specific to your primary school or do 1455 01:11:56,692 --> 01:11:59,892 Speaker 2: you think that was across the board type situation. 1456 01:12:00,973 --> 01:12:03,733 Speaker 16: No, I think it was a cross board carded situation. 1457 01:12:04,853 --> 01:12:07,372 Speaker 2: Without sort of going into too many oh when you do, 1458 01:12:07,532 --> 01:12:09,732 Speaker 2: so what you want?

Hey, god, it's just just just to know. 1650 01:20:59,572 --> 01:21:03,732 Speaker 18: I was involved with a wee project called The Big Weekend, 1651 01:21:04,333 --> 01:21:06,972 Speaker 18: and I heard one of your callers talk about sitting 1652 01:21:07,013 --> 01:21:09,692 Speaker 18: in the car, and I had the privilege of working 1653 01:21:09,772 --> 01:21:13,452 Speaker 18: with I think one of your broadcasters, Petra Vegas, a 1654 01:21:13,732 --> 01:21:14,932 Speaker 18: very very talented woman. 1655 01:21:15,173 --> 01:21:17,093 Speaker 11: Yeah, and we did a thing. 1656 01:21:17,612 --> 01:21:20,093 Speaker 18: Yeah, yeah, great news, Geander. We did a thing called 1657 01:21:20,133 --> 01:21:22,932 Speaker 18: The Big Weekend and we just found it really worked 1658 01:21:22,973 --> 01:21:25,812 Speaker 18: because of that dynamic of you're not steering the kid 1659 01:21:25,893 --> 01:21:29,692 Speaker 18: in the face. And it's actually on Spotify and it's 1660 01:21:29,812 --> 01:21:32,412 Speaker 18: free and it may be something that you'll callers could 1661 01:21:32,572 --> 01:21:37,052 Speaker 18: utilize just to start the conversation. It is quite long, 1662 01:21:37,213 --> 01:21:39,173 Speaker 18: so if you're going to go around to McDonald's you're 1663 01:21:39,173 --> 01:21:41,572 Speaker 18: going to have to go around fifty times. But it's 1664 01:21:41,652 --> 01:21:45,572 Speaker 18: like it's like if you're going to Totle Paul and 1665 01:21:45,812 --> 01:21:47,892 Speaker 18: say and you warn them and say, look, we're going 1666 01:21:47,973 --> 01:21:50,452 Speaker 18: to play this, you get a chance to talk about it. 1667 01:21:50,732 --> 01:21:53,652 Speaker 18: And yeah, it was it was a really good project, 1668 01:21:53,692 --> 01:21:56,372 Speaker 18: which I think could be helpful to some of your listeners. 1669 01:21:56,772 --> 01:22:00,132 Speaker 3: So it's a podcast, the equivalent of a podcast, feel. 1670 01:22:00,253 --> 01:22:02,612 Speaker 18: Yeah, it was actually in the old days it was 1671 01:22:02,692 --> 01:22:05,412 Speaker 18: on CD. So it's just it was through the parenting 1672 01:22:05,532 --> 01:22:11,093 Speaker 18: place in Green Lane and we made this recording and 1673 01:22:11,372 --> 01:22:14,612 Speaker 18: gave it out to people and the big weekend and 1674 01:22:14,732 --> 01:22:18,772 Speaker 18: it's this isn't a cell bro, It's free, you know, 1675 01:22:19,013 --> 01:22:21,532 Speaker 18: so you can just download it off Spotify. I haven't 1676 01:22:21,532 --> 01:22:25,492 Speaker 18: listened to it first yourself, but would have been really 1677 01:22:25,612 --> 01:22:29,213 Speaker 18: helpful in my day, but could be really helpful for 1678 01:22:29,333 --> 01:22:30,012 Speaker 18: some of your listeners. 1679 01:22:30,133 --> 01:22:31,893 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm just having a look at it out here. So, 1680 01:22:32,213 --> 01:22:34,732 Speaker 4: I mean there's a whole branch of chapters if you 1681 01:22:34,812 --> 01:22:38,492 Speaker 4: were or areas that you go through. But what has 1682 01:22:38,572 --> 01:22:41,093 Speaker 4: Sek's attitudes about seeks? Let's talk about porn? How do 1683 01:22:41,173 --> 01:22:42,732 Speaker 4: you how would a parent bring that up if they're 1684 01:22:42,732 --> 01:22:45,052 Speaker 4: going to put that on the car. What's the intro 1685 01:22:45,293 --> 01:22:47,452 Speaker 4: that ideally the parent would give thee kid before they 1686 01:22:47,492 --> 01:22:47,852 Speaker 4: hit play. 1687 01:22:49,732 --> 01:22:50,293 Speaker 12: Well, if that. 1688 01:22:50,412 --> 01:22:53,372 Speaker 18: Depends on the relationship, I think, But I think you 1689 01:22:53,532 --> 01:22:55,652 Speaker 18: just have to be honest with kids and say, look, 1690 01:22:56,452 --> 01:22:59,052 Speaker 18: this is something we have to go through. It's based 1691 01:22:59,093 --> 01:23:04,253 Speaker 18: around keeping yourself safe. I've found this bit of information 1692 01:23:04,452 --> 01:23:06,892 Speaker 18: that could be helpful. We can stop at any time, 1693 01:23:07,013 --> 01:23:11,013 Speaker 18: but you know you mean to me, you're awesome, but 1694 01:23:11,452 --> 01:23:15,612 Speaker 18: so we need to have this conversation and I'm shouting McDonald's. 1695 01:23:15,133 --> 01:23:15,452 Speaker 12: Let's go. 1696 01:23:18,053 --> 01:23:18,572 Speaker 3: From then on. 1697 01:23:19,253 --> 01:23:23,293 Speaker 2: The two things are associated. I can imagine a step 1698 01:23:23,572 --> 01:23:26,932 Speaker 2: further than that, because basically, you've decided on someone describing 1699 01:23:26,973 --> 01:23:28,932 Speaker 2: it in a way that you approve of. You're there 1700 01:23:28,973 --> 01:23:30,932 Speaker 2: beside them in the car, so you can answer any 1701 01:23:31,013 --> 01:23:34,893 Speaker 2: questions as it goes. And so it's kind of I 1702 01:23:34,973 --> 01:23:38,772 Speaker 2: guess lowering making it easier for yourself. Yeah, I mean 1703 01:23:38,893 --> 01:23:41,933 Speaker 2: you could record yourself doing the chat and then and 1704 01:23:42,013 --> 01:23:43,013 Speaker 2: then play it back to them. 1705 01:23:43,133 --> 01:23:44,692 Speaker 3: Yeah, well it would make it easier. 1706 01:23:44,853 --> 01:23:47,852 Speaker 2: Yeah, But it is interesting because there's someone seeing like 1707 01:23:48,013 --> 01:23:49,772 Speaker 2: humans have been doing this for a very long time. 1708 01:23:50,053 --> 01:23:53,173 Speaker 2: You know, we've been Homo sapiens for nearly three hundred 1709 01:23:53,253 --> 01:23:54,492 Speaker 2: thousand years that this person. 1710 01:23:54,853 --> 01:23:57,532 Speaker 3: Do you actually really need to have the chat about it? 1711 01:23:57,853 --> 01:23:58,772 Speaker 3: It is interesting that. 1712 01:23:58,933 --> 01:24:01,892 Speaker 2: We've got to the stage where we're so awkward about 1713 01:24:01,933 --> 01:24:05,333 Speaker 2: it because we're biological. We're not so different from the 1714 01:24:05,412 --> 01:24:06,372 Speaker 2: cows and the bulls, are we? 1715 01:24:06,572 --> 01:24:06,772 Speaker 11: Yeah? 1716 01:24:06,853 --> 01:24:08,333 Speaker 3: Can't we just say this is how it works? 1717 01:24:08,412 --> 01:24:08,732 Speaker 6: All right? 1718 01:24:09,053 --> 01:24:09,492 Speaker 3: Where you go? 1719 01:24:09,772 --> 01:24:11,253 Speaker 4: Well, if we don't do it, that's the end of us, 1720 01:24:11,333 --> 01:24:13,293 Speaker 4: isn't it.

And I said, they're making babies. 1790 01:27:39,452 --> 01:27:42,973 Speaker 7: Bathe them there can they have little puppies And she 1791 01:27:43,173 --> 01:27:45,012 Speaker 7: was over the moon, and then all of a sudden 1792 01:27:45,013 --> 01:27:47,613 Speaker 7: her face was pale light and she looked in discussed 1793 01:27:47,652 --> 01:27:49,973 Speaker 7: and turned around to me and said, is that what 1794 01:27:50,093 --> 01:27:50,933 Speaker 7: you and mummy do? 1795 01:27:54,452 --> 01:27:55,133 Speaker 18: That's not all right? 1796 01:27:55,412 --> 01:27:55,612 Speaker 11: Yeah? 1797 01:27:56,293 --> 01:28:01,692 Speaker 3: And he said no, exactly essentially, yes, pretty much pretty much. 1798 01:28:01,772 --> 01:28:04,972 Speaker 3: That's out works.

Yeah, it could happen, 1804 01:28:22,612 --> 01:28:24,772 Speaker 2: but that's not what I meant by a ball jumping 1805 01:28:24,812 --> 01:28:26,732 Speaker 2: a cow. It's good to put that one to bed though. 1806 01:28:26,812 --> 01:28:29,372 Speaker 2: I think that's what we're all worried about. Thank you 1807 01:28:29,612 --> 01:28:32,253 Speaker 2: very much to everyone who called and text on that one. 1808 01:28:32,293 --> 01:28:36,132 Speaker 2: That was a great discussion.

If they believe in that and they're 1821 01:29:12,093 --> 01:29:14,532 Speaker 2: doing something good, and it turns out you're just lying 1822 01:29:14,612 --> 01:29:16,452 Speaker 2: to them like this company did that. 1823 01:29:16,692 --> 01:29:20,052 Speaker 3: That is just so dirty certainly as dirty green washes. 1824 01:29:20,253 --> 01:29:22,812 Speaker 4: Oh one hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call. 1825 01:29:22,853 --> 01:29:25,492 Speaker 4: But coming up very shortly, we chat to consumer in 1826 01:29:25,692 --> 01:29:32,892 Speaker 4: z about dirty old green washing twenty past three, Matt. 1827 01:29:32,772 --> 01:29:35,893 Speaker 1: Heath and Tyler Adams afternoons call oh eight hundred and 1828 01:29:35,933 --> 01:29:38,052 Speaker 1: eighty ten eighty on News Talk ZB. 1829 01:29:38,452 --> 01:29:41,253 Speaker 4: Good Afternoon twenty two pass three and let's talk about 1830 01:29:41,253 --> 01:29:43,452 Speaker 4: green washing.

The offending garbage 1834 01:29:54,692 --> 01:29:57,893 Speaker 4: bags were partly made of Indonesian plastic source from communities 1835 01:29:58,093 --> 01:30:00,932 Speaker 4: that were miles away from any shoreline. To chat about 1836 01:30:00,933 --> 01:30:03,772 Speaker 4: this more, we're joined by Rebecca Styles Consumer end Z 1837 01:30:04,053 --> 01:30:07,412 Speaker 4: Investigative team leader Rebecca Good afternoon. 1838 01:30:08,412 --> 01:30:10,652 Speaker 3: Hi, Yes, any relation to Harry Styles? 1839 01:30:12,253 --> 01:30:14,013 Speaker 6: I wish. 1840 01:30:15,133 --> 01:30:19,133 Speaker 3: Hey bigger stars. What is green washing? 1841 01:30:20,452 --> 01:30:23,612 Speaker 14: So basically greenwashing is a misleading claim under the Fair 1842 01:30:23,692 --> 01:30:27,173 Speaker 14: Trading Act. So, in particularly for greenwashing, it's a product 1843 01:30:27,213 --> 01:30:30,133 Speaker 14: that makes itself appear better for the environment than other 1844 01:30:30,173 --> 01:30:31,492 Speaker 14: similar products on the shelves. 1845 01:30:32,093 --> 01:30:34,572 Speaker 2: And what are the punishments of a company is caught 1846 01:30:34,652 --> 01:30:35,293 Speaker 2: green washing? 1847 01:30:36,612 --> 01:30:39,372 Speaker 14: Well, for New Zealand's penalties are actually quite light in 1848 01:30:39,452 --> 01:30:42,892 Speaker 14: comparison to the Big Pine that Floric Scott. So under 1849 01:30:42,933 --> 01:30:46,333 Speaker 14: the Fair Trading Act it's six hundred thousand dollars fine. 1850 01:30:47,213 --> 01:30:50,093 Speaker 14: So there's quite light for it, especially for these big 1851 01:30:50,213 --> 01:30:52,932 Speaker 14: multi national companies, and it's not much of a deterrent 1852 01:30:53,053 --> 01:30:57,333 Speaker 14: to stop green washing. So we would just support a 1853 01:30:57,412 --> 01:31:00,333 Speaker 14: regulator upping those fines. And upping the fines mean that 1854 01:31:00,452 --> 01:31:02,532 Speaker 14: it's more rough while for their time and energy to 1855 01:31:02,572 --> 01:31:06,452 Speaker 14: actually take these prosecutions, so that it becomes a bigger 1856 01:31:06,492 --> 01:31:07,692 Speaker 14: de terrance for these companies. 1857 01:31:08,652 --> 01:31:10,932 Speaker 2: And is it prevalent in New Zealand? Are you seeing 1858 01:31:11,093 --> 01:31:15,213 Speaker 2: more of it? Is it something that's that's growing as 1859 01:31:15,213 --> 01:31:15,893 Speaker 2: a problem. 1860 01:31:17,333 --> 01:31:19,333 Speaker 14: In someway That feels a bit insidious because I think 1861 01:31:19,652 --> 01:31:24,093 Speaker 14: any walk along the supermarket aisles, you'll come across sort 1862 01:31:24,133 --> 01:31:28,333 Speaker 14: of meaningless terms things like green and natural and environmentally friendly, 1863 01:31:29,293 --> 01:31:33,053 Speaker 14: echo sustainable, there's all sort of these environmental buzzwords but 1864 01:31:33,412 --> 01:31:36,212 Speaker 14: are sort of not backed up or seem pretty meaningless 1865 01:31:36,492 --> 01:31:40,532 Speaker 14: on some products. So it is around that it feels 1866 01:31:40,612 --> 01:31:42,412 Speaker 14: like it's so much of it around at the moment 1867 01:31:42,692 --> 01:31:44,932 Speaker 14: that it's almost, you know, I can't do the slice 1868 01:31:44,973 --> 01:31:45,892 Speaker 14: of the trees type of thing. 1869 01:31:46,732 --> 01:31:49,732 Speaker 2: Is there a version of green washing that isn't exactly illegal, 1870 01:31:49,853 --> 01:31:52,612 Speaker 2: but it's still gross in a way like safe. For example, 1871 01:31:52,652 --> 01:31:55,692 Speaker 2: you're on an airline and they're celebrating their greenness by 1872 01:31:55,772 --> 01:31:59,892 Speaker 2: serving your food with bamboo knives and forks while you're 1873 01:31:59,933 --> 01:32:04,293 Speaker 2: blasting aviation fuel on around the world flight, so they're 1874 01:32:04,333 --> 01:32:07,772 Speaker 2: not it's like almost like a green distraction. It's like, 1875 01:32:07,853 --> 01:32:10,173 Speaker 2: look at the way we're doing this over here, and 1876 01:32:10,253 --> 01:32:13,213 Speaker 2: don't look at what we're doing over there very much. 1877 01:32:13,213 --> 01:32:15,173 Speaker 14: It feels very much like window dressing, doesn't it. 1878 01:32:15,253 --> 01:32:16,253 Speaker 6: Yeah, And I think uno a. 1879 01:32:16,253 --> 01:32:18,133 Speaker 14: Few years ago I wrote about Any Zealand for their 1880 01:32:18,173 --> 01:32:20,492 Speaker 14: plant based cups, and that's not much good yet. 1881 01:32:20,372 --> 01:32:24,893 Speaker 6: When you're burning all that, really it's a bit of 1882 01:32:24,933 --> 01:32:25,692 Speaker 6: a tot congestion. 1883 01:32:25,893 --> 01:32:27,612 Speaker 14: So it's very much tinkering out of the edges, but 1884 01:32:27,853 --> 01:32:30,053 Speaker 14: not tackling the huge problem of what's being put in 1885 01:32:30,253 --> 01:32:30,692 Speaker 14: still thing. 1886 01:32:30,893 --> 01:32:31,093 Speaker 7: Yeah. 1887 01:32:31,213 --> 01:32:33,732 Speaker 4: Has it got to the point Rebecca where companies they 1888 01:32:34,253 --> 01:32:38,772 Speaker 4: you know, the trust on from consumers to believe that 1889 01:32:38,973 --> 01:32:42,532 Speaker 4: these companies are doing environmental good for the planet or 1890 01:32:42,572 --> 01:32:45,293 Speaker 4: whatever they might be doing. But that trust is just 1891 01:32:45,412 --> 01:32:48,093 Speaker 4: completely lost now and most consumers will look at this 1892 01:32:48,133 --> 01:32:50,652 Speaker 4: stuff and say, I think that's probably nonsense, because I've 1893 01:32:50,692 --> 01:32:51,973 Speaker 4: seen so many examples of that. 1894 01:32:53,093 --> 01:32:55,213 Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean you should be able to trust what's 1895 01:32:55,293 --> 01:32:57,213 Speaker 14: on the label. You know, you expect a bit of 1896 01:32:57,253 --> 01:32:59,932 Speaker 14: puffer eat with marketing and stuff, but essentially the essence 1897 01:32:59,973 --> 01:33:02,133 Speaker 14: of what's said on products should be true and you 1898 01:33:02,173 --> 01:33:05,532 Speaker 14: should be able to rely on it. And there has 1899 01:33:05,612 --> 01:33:08,253 Speaker 14: been calls overseas for these green claims there should be 1900 01:33:08,412 --> 01:33:11,092 Speaker 14: checked before they go on to market so that consumers 1901 01:33:11,133 --> 01:33:14,892 Speaker 14: can be very assured. Because it's also a competitive advantage 1902 01:33:14,893 --> 01:33:18,452 Speaker 14: if you're essentially misleading customers and earning more money on 1903 01:33:18,492 --> 01:33:20,253 Speaker 14: the back of that misleading claiming. You know, it's an 1904 01:33:20,253 --> 01:33:23,692 Speaker 14: anti competitive behavior. So it's good for other businesses and 1905 01:33:23,853 --> 01:33:25,053 Speaker 14: for consumers. 1906 01:33:26,213 --> 01:33:28,772 Speaker 2: Because sometimes it seems to me that a company shouldn't 1907 01:33:28,772 --> 01:33:30,572 Speaker 2: be allowed to continue. I'm not going to name the 1908 01:33:30,652 --> 01:33:32,133 Speaker 2: name of it doesn't cause they get it wrong. But 1909 01:33:32,213 --> 01:33:34,852 Speaker 2: there was a while back, and this isn't quite green washing. 1910 01:33:34,933 --> 01:33:38,052 Speaker 2: I guess it's sort of a moral form of washing. 1911 01:33:38,173 --> 01:33:42,253 Speaker 2: But you know, a free range selling eggs and saying 1912 01:33:42,293 --> 01:33:44,013 Speaker 2: that they're free range and selling a whole lot of 1913 01:33:44,093 --> 01:33:46,213 Speaker 2: eggs as free range, people are paying more for them, 1914 01:33:46,372 --> 01:33:49,133 Speaker 2: and then there's an investigation and you find out though 1915 01:33:49,133 --> 01:33:52,173 Speaker 2: it were never free range. Doesn't that feel like that 1916 01:33:52,293 --> 01:33:56,372 Speaker 2: should be a company ending situation because you've lied to people, 1917 01:33:56,452 --> 01:33:58,653 Speaker 2: people have paid money. It's come out of the consumers, 1918 01:33:59,772 --> 01:34:01,812 Speaker 2: you know, pocket they thought they were buying free range 1919 01:34:01,812 --> 01:34:04,452 Speaker 2: eggs because they care about that, they haven't. It seems 1920 01:34:04,492 --> 01:34:07,173 Speaker 2: odd when you see a company continuing on they've paid 1921 01:34:07,173 --> 01:34:07,612 Speaker 2: a fine. 1922 01:34:07,893 --> 01:34:11,012 Speaker 3: But do you see what I'm saying? 1923 01:34:11,853 --> 01:34:15,572 Speaker 14: Yeah, sermily erodes trust and I certainly would as a customer, 1924 01:34:15,572 --> 01:34:20,013 Speaker 14: would stare clear of that particular brand. But yeah, the 1925 01:34:20,133 --> 01:34:22,973 Speaker 14: marketplace is such a you know, the ethical concerns, what 1926 01:34:23,253 --> 01:34:26,973 Speaker 14: ingredients come from, supply chain, The marketplace is just so 1927 01:34:27,253 --> 01:34:29,492 Speaker 14: complex for consumers at the moment, and we just don't 1928 01:34:29,532 --> 01:34:32,333 Speaker 14: have the time to stand in the aisle for ours 1929 01:34:32,372 --> 01:34:34,452 Speaker 14: to unpack all of these claims. So it just makes 1930 01:34:34,492 --> 01:34:36,892 Speaker 14: it so much more important. You know, if things were 1931 01:34:37,013 --> 01:34:38,812 Speaker 14: checked before they went to the market, it would make 1932 01:34:38,893 --> 01:34:40,012 Speaker 14: life a lot easier for everyone. 1933 01:34:40,093 --> 01:34:42,772 Speaker 4: I think what would be a fair punishment for those 1934 01:34:42,853 --> 01:34:46,973 Speaker 4: companies found green washing and making up you know, effectively 1935 01:34:47,053 --> 01:34:50,133 Speaker 4: they are lies. What would be an appropriate punishment in 1936 01:34:50,173 --> 01:34:51,732 Speaker 4: New Zealand? I mean, could it get to the point 1937 01:34:51,732 --> 01:34:54,293 Speaker 4: where you take that product?

Just an example of 2002 01:38:22,572 --> 01:38:24,572 Speaker 2: green washing and what I'm talking about. It can be 2003 01:38:24,652 --> 01:38:26,812 Speaker 2: on a really really low level. It's in a hotel, 2004 01:38:26,893 --> 01:38:29,412 Speaker 2: for example, when you see that thing, we are in 2005 01:38:29,612 --> 01:38:34,253 Speaker 2: an echo friendly hotel. We take some sustainability seriously. So 2006 01:38:35,133 --> 01:38:37,492 Speaker 2: don't so hang your tails off if you don't want 2007 01:38:37,492 --> 01:38:40,013 Speaker 2: them to be washed, yep, and only leave them on 2008 01:38:40,133 --> 01:38:41,532 Speaker 2: the floor of the bathroom if you do want them 2009 01:38:41,572 --> 01:38:43,253 Speaker 2: to wash. It's like, that is rubbish. That's nothing to 2010 01:38:43,333 --> 01:38:45,812 Speaker 2: do with anything. That's to do with you trying not 2011 01:38:45,893 --> 01:38:48,133 Speaker 2: to have to clean as many towels as if that 2012 01:38:48,213 --> 01:38:48,732 Speaker 2: makes any. 2013 01:38:48,652 --> 01:38:49,213 Speaker 3: Kind of different. 2014 01:38:49,253 --> 01:38:52,012 Speaker 4: That is the hotel saving money rather than saving water 2015 01:38:52,213 --> 01:38:52,852 Speaker 4: or the environment. 2016 01:38:53,853 --> 01:38:54,452 Speaker 3: I read that sign. 2017 01:38:54,532 --> 01:38:56,492 Speaker 2: I go through and take every towel and the entire 2018 01:38:56,572 --> 01:38:58,692 Speaker 2: place and have it on the floor in the bathroom 2019 01:38:58,732 --> 01:39:01,492 Speaker 2: and all the sheets and the mattress. 2020 01:39:01,933 --> 01:39:04,133 Speaker 3: Make a point. Take that with your green washing, Dave, 2021 01:39:04,652 --> 01:39:05,932 Speaker 3: green washing your thoughts? 2022 01:39:07,372 --> 01:39:10,932 Speaker 8: Yeah mate, well the best off? Can you stop talking 2023 01:39:10,933 --> 01:39:13,532 Speaker 8: about the Wadden spoons and support because you're wrong. 2024 01:39:14,532 --> 01:39:16,812 Speaker 3: No, I'll talk about whatever I want, but you explain 2025 01:39:16,893 --> 01:39:18,532 Speaker 3: it please what you mean? Okay? 2026 01:39:18,612 --> 01:39:21,572 Speaker 8: So Richard Branson did a study and he published it 2027 01:39:21,692 --> 01:39:24,772 Speaker 8: that showed that when they came from cuttery to wooden 2028 01:39:24,853 --> 01:39:29,012 Speaker 8: spoons from the UK to America, saved eight hundred liters 2029 01:39:29,053 --> 01:39:29,412 Speaker 8: of fuel. 2030 01:39:31,253 --> 01:39:35,173 Speaker 2: Yeah, but that may maybe the case, Dave, But that 2031 01:39:35,253 --> 01:39:36,293 Speaker 2: wasn't really the point I was making. 2032 01:39:36,372 --> 01:39:36,772 Speaker 3: I was making. 2033 01:39:36,812 --> 01:39:38,612 Speaker 2: It's kind of a funny situation when you're on a 2034 01:39:38,692 --> 01:39:41,253 Speaker 2: plane and it's you know, you're traveling from to London 2035 01:39:41,372 --> 01:39:45,333 Speaker 2: or something across and you're blasting out aviation fuel and 2036 01:39:45,452 --> 01:39:47,892 Speaker 2: it's kind of a distraction thing. And I think you're 2037 01:39:47,893 --> 01:39:51,452 Speaker 2: probably right, David, there is probably an eco justification around bamboo. 2038 01:39:51,492 --> 01:39:53,173 Speaker 2: But can you kind of see My point is that 2039 01:39:53,572 --> 01:39:54,492 Speaker 2: don't look over here? 2040 01:39:54,772 --> 01:39:55,133 Speaker 3: Look here. 2041 01:39:56,213 --> 01:39:58,053 Speaker 8: I see your point, And that's the same reason why 2042 01:39:58,093 --> 01:39:59,652 Speaker 8: people don't look at electric cars. 2043 01:39:59,893 --> 01:40:00,093 Speaker 3: Yeah. 2044 01:40:00,253 --> 01:40:03,132 Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, if you look at lytric cars literal batteries, 2045 01:40:04,133 --> 01:40:07,732 Speaker 8: you know they're not green, they're not clean. That's dirty mining. 2046 01:40:08,372 --> 01:40:09,972 Speaker 3: Yeah yeah. 2047 01:40:10,013 --> 01:40:13,253 Speaker 2: Yeah, Like what you're saying, Dave, you're only looking at 2048 01:40:13,253 --> 01:40:16,253 Speaker 2: one and now an element of it. So you really 2049 01:40:16,293 --> 01:40:18,133 Speaker 2: focus on one element of it and say, well, this 2050 01:40:18,293 --> 01:40:20,812 Speaker 2: is green. If it's coming from hydroelectric dam then this 2051 01:40:21,053 --> 01:40:23,093 Speaker 2: ev is green. But you're not talking about how it 2052 01:40:23,173 --> 01:40:26,333 Speaker 2: was manufactured, how how it came here, the fact that 2053 01:40:26,652 --> 01:40:29,652 Speaker 2: there's a lot of coal that's still used in most 2054 01:40:30,053 --> 01:40:34,133 Speaker 2: countries to fuel their ev so they eventually they're essentially. 2055 01:40:33,812 --> 01:40:35,892 Speaker 8: A steam and make the I for those cars. 2056 01:40:36,253 --> 01:40:39,492 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, And the supply chain brings it all together. 2057 01:40:39,853 --> 01:40:41,572 Speaker 8: And what are you going to do with the reactors 2058 01:40:41,572 --> 01:40:42,372 Speaker 8: when you finished with them? 2059 01:40:43,053 --> 01:40:47,812 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. You have to list the actuality of it. 2060 01:40:48,053 --> 01:40:49,612 Speaker 2: And so I guess that's what I'm saying, Dave, is 2061 01:40:49,692 --> 01:40:52,333 Speaker 2: that you know you're sitting there feeling good about yourself 2062 01:40:52,372 --> 01:40:55,133 Speaker 2: because you're using your bamboo nipe and fork, but you 2063 01:40:55,293 --> 01:40:57,053 Speaker 2: actually have to realize if that, if you believe in 2064 01:40:57,093 --> 01:41:00,372 Speaker 2: the eco thing, the very fact that you're flying means 2065 01:41:00,412 --> 01:41:01,133 Speaker 2: that you don't care. 2066 01:41:02,333 --> 01:41:05,092 Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, I believe the sponge alone. 2067 01:41:05,133 --> 01:41:09,213 Speaker 3: Man, you're quite enjoy the disposes. Anything wrong with enjoying 2068 01:41:09,253 --> 01:41:10,733 Speaker 3: the spoon, that's. 2069 01:41:11,532 --> 01:41:13,093 Speaker 2: Much Dave, I ad met I did a bit of 2070 01:41:13,133 --> 01:41:15,293 Speaker 2: a I did another bit of an unfair drive by 2071 01:41:15,333 --> 01:41:15,932 Speaker 2: on the spoons. 2072 01:41:15,933 --> 01:41:17,812 Speaker 3: I get that. Look, I'm a huge fan. I'm a 2073 01:41:17,933 --> 01:41:19,293 Speaker 3: huge fan of a wooden spoon. 2074 01:41:19,492 --> 01:41:22,092 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you know, they do what I intended 2075 01:41:22,133 --> 01:41:23,693 Speaker 4: to do. They just don't save thee. 2076 01:41:23,452 --> 01:41:25,732 Speaker 3: That's not true. I received some wooden spoonings in my time. 2077 01:41:25,772 --> 01:41:28,532 Speaker 2: I wasn't a big fan of you deserve them though, 2078 01:41:29,213 --> 01:41:31,413 Speaker 2: well deserved old school form of punishment. 2079 01:41:31,893 --> 01:41:32,133 Speaker 3: Bill. 2080 01:41:34,253 --> 01:41:35,612 Speaker 7: Here we go, there you go, bells. 2081 01:41:35,772 --> 01:41:36,812 Speaker 3: Yeah, good, good mate. 2082 01:41:38,853 --> 01:41:41,253 Speaker 5: We've reached sort of like green wash and blah blah blah. 2083 01:41:41,412 --> 01:41:43,692 Speaker 17: Yep, recycled toilet paper. 2084 01:41:44,053 --> 01:41:44,933 Speaker 12: How do they do it? 2085 01:41:46,053 --> 01:41:50,133 Speaker 3: That's a good point. I haven't thought. Yeah, you're right, 2086 01:41:50,173 --> 01:41:54,973 Speaker 3: it's a disgusting thought. I'm trying to look it up 2087 01:41:55,053 --> 01:41:55,692 Speaker 3: as we speak. 2088 01:41:55,732 --> 01:41:57,772 Speaker 4: But it's a fair point, though, because quite often I 2089 01:41:57,853 --> 01:42:00,492 Speaker 4: will go for the toilet paper that says recycled, and 2090 01:42:00,572 --> 01:42:02,612 Speaker 4: I've never thought about it because I've been I'm just 2091 01:42:02,652 --> 01:42:03,052 Speaker 4: a sucker. 2092 01:42:03,293 --> 01:42:04,412 Speaker 9: Well, I'm sure, I'm sure. 2093 01:42:04,893 --> 01:42:08,652 Speaker 17: I'm sure they choose sort of small villagers that probably 2094 01:42:08,812 --> 01:42:11,772 Speaker 17: draw on a very high fiber diet, for example. But 2095 01:42:11,933 --> 01:42:14,532 Speaker 17: then again, those poor villages probably couldn't afford it by 2096 01:42:14,893 --> 01:42:16,532 Speaker 17: recycled toilet paper. 2097 01:42:16,732 --> 01:42:20,133 Speaker 2: I'm not even familiar with the concept of recycled talet paper. 2098 01:42:20,173 --> 01:42:21,933 Speaker 3: Really. I thought when you said that that that was 2099 01:42:22,452 --> 01:42:24,133 Speaker 3: a joke. No, it's actually a thing. 2100 01:42:24,293 --> 01:42:25,932 Speaker 4: But does it I don't know if it comes from 2101 01:42:26,093 --> 01:42:28,173 Speaker 4: the actual toilet paper. I think it comes from other 2102 01:42:28,253 --> 01:42:31,532 Speaker 4: paper goods. It's not like you're fluttered down the duney 2103 01:42:31,933 --> 01:42:34,293 Speaker 4: and some poor buggers pulling it out and right right 2104 01:42:34,372 --> 01:42:35,453 Speaker 4: there can be reused. 2105 01:42:35,812 --> 01:42:38,812 Speaker 3: It's just other types of paper. Of course, it's not. 2106 01:42:39,612 --> 01:42:42,333 Speaker 3: I'm so dumb. Sometimes I'm so dumb it surprises me. 2107 01:42:42,812 --> 01:42:45,412 Speaker 3: But yeah, to be fair that as well. So it's 2108 01:42:45,492 --> 01:42:48,892 Speaker 3: recycled toilet paper. No, it's recycled from something else into 2109 01:42:48,933 --> 01:42:49,572 Speaker 3: toilet paper. 2110 01:42:49,732 --> 01:42:54,053 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's how it works.

Meanwhile, the plastic ones get reused as bin 2117 01:43:06,973 --> 01:43:10,532 Speaker 2: liners exciture where now they were brought in the supermarket. 2118 01:43:10,572 --> 01:43:12,052 Speaker 2: And the other thing you see to say about plastic 2119 01:43:12,053 --> 01:43:15,492 Speaker 2: bag is that that's actually locking fossil fuels in from 2120 01:43:15,772 --> 01:43:19,093 Speaker 2: it's not being released into the atmosphere. They're not burning them, 2121 01:43:19,492 --> 01:43:22,173 Speaker 2: they're locked in. But yeah, I order in my groceries 2122 01:43:22,572 --> 01:43:26,692 Speaker 2: quite often and it comes with just such an absolute 2123 01:43:26,893 --> 01:43:29,812 Speaker 2: avalanche and apocalypse of brown paper bags that I then 2124 01:43:29,853 --> 01:43:33,213 Speaker 2: shuff strange in my recycling bin.

And then I said, 2165 01:45:29,492 --> 01:45:31,173 Speaker 20: so then you're shipping it all the way back to 2166 01:45:31,253 --> 01:45:34,532 Speaker 20: New Zealand. He goes here and tried to make it 2167 01:45:34,612 --> 01:45:38,092 Speaker 20: out that it's from New Zealand manufactured waste. Got another 2168 01:45:38,213 --> 01:45:42,053 Speaker 20: one where a guy tried to sell me recycled plastic 2169 01:45:42,253 --> 01:45:48,293 Speaker 20: boards manufactured in Europe and with cradle to cradle certification. 2170 01:45:49,692 --> 01:45:52,493 Speaker 20: Then I asked, well, where can these things be recycled? 2171 01:45:53,412 --> 01:45:55,412 Speaker 20: And then when he delved in it, when asked a 2172 01:45:55,452 --> 01:45:58,133 Speaker 20: few questions back at his office, Oh, has to go 2173 01:45:58,213 --> 01:45:58,852 Speaker 20: back to Europe. 2174 01:45:58,933 --> 01:46:03,492 Speaker 8: So really, is that really really green? 2175 01:46:04,013 --> 01:46:04,053 Speaker 13: No? 2176 01:46:04,853 --> 01:46:07,133 Speaker 20: No, So you've got to watch You've got to watch 2177 01:46:07,173 --> 01:46:09,772 Speaker 20: all the certifications. They might have all the ticks and 2178 01:46:10,213 --> 01:46:11,733 Speaker 20: boxes and certification. 2179 01:46:12,612 --> 01:46:13,293 Speaker 6: Half of it's. 2180 01:46:13,213 --> 01:46:14,452 Speaker 18: Bullshit when you delve into it. 2181 01:46:14,692 --> 01:46:18,732 Speaker 20: Another one that's another picking boards and things that are 2182 01:46:18,812 --> 01:46:22,372 Speaker 20: fully recyclable, but you delve into it, we can they 2183 01:46:22,452 --> 01:46:25,253 Speaker 20: be recycled. They can't be recycled in New Zealand. Another 2184 01:46:25,333 --> 01:46:29,173 Speaker 20: one was China. So that's just rife through that sort 2185 01:46:29,213 --> 01:46:33,092 Speaker 20: of industry. If you're going shopping for recycled plastic boards 2186 01:46:33,213 --> 01:46:37,612 Speaker 20: or these amitation timber type boards everywhere. 2187 01:46:38,293 --> 01:46:41,412 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's the totality of it, isn't it. 2188 01:46:41,452 --> 01:46:44,412 Speaker 2: Because you can find to ter avertise your product. One 2189 01:46:44,532 --> 01:46:46,732 Speaker 2: thing you go look at this line here, it's this 2190 01:46:47,812 --> 01:46:49,492 Speaker 2: you know, and this one that you know. They were 2191 01:46:49,572 --> 01:46:52,532 Speaker 2: saying that it was ocean plastics. They were making it 2192 01:46:52,612 --> 01:46:54,852 Speaker 2: with yeah, and then they locked into it and it 2193 01:46:54,973 --> 01:46:56,612 Speaker 2: was an ocean plastics. So then they tried to try 2194 01:46:56,652 --> 01:47:00,013 Speaker 2: to claim ocean bound plastics. And so they've made the 2195 01:47:00,053 --> 01:47:02,412 Speaker 2: assumption that these if they hadn't well, they haven't made 2196 01:47:02,412 --> 01:47:04,173 Speaker 2: the assumption. They've made the claim that if they hadn't 2197 01:47:04,173 --> 01:47:06,772 Speaker 2: grabbed these plastics, they would go to the ocean. But 2198 01:47:07,213 --> 01:47:09,173 Speaker 2: you need to look at the whole thing, and that 2199 01:47:09,293 --> 01:47:12,772 Speaker 2: example there, or the example in EVS, you have to 2200 01:47:12,853 --> 01:47:16,572 Speaker 2: list absolutely all of it. But in green washing, they'll 2201 01:47:16,612 --> 01:47:19,812 Speaker 2: find two or three little examples that fit the narrative 2202 01:47:20,093 --> 01:47:23,732 Speaker 2: that it's green and absolutely ignore all the other parts 2203 01:47:23,772 --> 01:47:28,052 Speaker 2: of it that you know. And that's really the problem 2204 01:47:28,253 --> 01:47:30,372 Speaker 2: for a consumer because how are you supposed to unpack 2205 01:47:30,452 --> 01:47:30,652 Speaker 2: all that. 2206 01:47:30,933 --> 01:47:34,093 Speaker 4: It's like this product that consumer called out some time ago, 2207 01:47:34,213 --> 01:47:37,253 Speaker 4: but the wipes, and it's called Earth Smart and it 2208 01:47:37,293 --> 01:47:40,492 Speaker 4: says it made with ninety nine point eight percent pure 2209 01:47:40,652 --> 01:47:44,293 Speaker 4: New Zealand water, and wipes are made from plants, not. 2210 01:47:44,372 --> 01:47:46,812 Speaker 3: Plastic, so all of that looks good. It's called Earth Smart. 2211 01:47:46,933 --> 01:47:49,652 Speaker 4: It's made pretty much just water, and it's made from plants. 2212 01:47:50,253 --> 01:47:53,732 Speaker 4: And they didn't make a claim that it was biodegradable, 2213 01:47:54,372 --> 01:47:56,772 Speaker 4: but clearly it wasn't. But when you see it's made 2214 01:47:56,812 --> 01:47:59,093 Speaker 4: from plants not plastic, you think cool, that's going to 2215 01:47:59,133 --> 01:47:59,572 Speaker 4: break down. 2216 01:48:00,013 --> 01:48:01,093 Speaker 3: This product doesn't break down. 2217 01:48:01,253 --> 01:48:03,013 Speaker 11: Yeah, you know? 2218 01:48:03,133 --> 01:48:08,613 Speaker 2: And okay, good one, Mark, I have been green whiteing? 2219 01:48:09,532 --> 01:48:11,932 Speaker 2: Have I been green washing when I've been cleaning out 2220 01:48:11,973 --> 01:48:12,852 Speaker 2: my bond for years? 2221 01:48:12,973 --> 01:48:13,173 Speaker 11: Mark? 2222 01:48:13,253 --> 01:48:13,652 Speaker 9: Well you have? 2223 01:48:13,772 --> 01:48:15,492 Speaker 3: I guess you have been green washing to an. 2224 01:48:15,372 --> 01:48:18,293 Speaker 4: Extent in a way, in a way yeay, environmentally friendly 2225 01:48:18,372 --> 01:48:22,253 Speaker 4: somewhat imagine, guys, only a true eco logic grinds my 2226 01:48:22,452 --> 01:48:27,492 Speaker 4: gears regarding green washing. How can a place be called sorry? 2227 01:48:27,532 --> 01:48:30,412 Speaker 4: How can a place call them echo when all they 2228 01:48:30,532 --> 01:48:31,892 Speaker 4: use is a couple of cleaning products. 2229 01:48:32,772 --> 01:48:35,452 Speaker 3: That's exactly what I'm talking about, Sharon. They just described. 2230 01:48:35,492 --> 01:48:37,732 Speaker 2: They grab two things and describe it and then claim 2231 01:48:37,772 --> 01:48:40,652 Speaker 2: that the whole thing is eco. This is another one here. 2232 01:48:41,333 --> 01:48:45,412 Speaker 2: Combustible compostible coffee cups can't be composted unless sent to 2233 01:48:45,452 --> 01:48:48,973 Speaker 2: a commercial composting facility, which is not a service available 2234 01:48:49,053 --> 01:48:52,372 Speaker 2: for curbsite rubbish collection. So we used to recycle our 2235 01:48:52,412 --> 01:48:54,652 Speaker 2: coffee cups. But now we can't put those cups in 2236 01:48:54,692 --> 01:48:57,772 Speaker 2: the recycling bin, so they just have to go to landfill. 2237 01:48:57,812 --> 01:49:00,612 Speaker 2: But you can still claim that they're compostible coffee cups 2238 01:49:00,692 --> 01:49:03,452 Speaker 2: because technically they are compossible. The fact that it's not 2239 01:49:03,532 --> 01:49:05,293 Speaker 2: practical and it won't happen is. 2240 01:49:07,293 --> 01:49:10,412 Speaker 3: By the bye exactly, guys. 2241 01:49:10,973 --> 01:49:14,412 Speaker 4: There is a lot of sprays in the market that 2242 01:49:14,572 --> 01:49:18,572 Speaker 4: claim to be planet conscious and nature inspired. It's just 2243 01:49:18,692 --> 01:49:22,612 Speaker 4: a load of absolute hogwash. There's nothing nature inspired about them, 2244 01:49:22,612 --> 01:49:25,692 Speaker 4: and they certainly aren't planet conscious. It's just buzzwords and 2245 01:49:25,772 --> 01:49:26,612 Speaker 4: it doesn't mean anything. 2246 01:49:27,532 --> 01:49:29,333 Speaker 2: What's that guy talking about, You're supposed to drink the 2247 01:49:29,372 --> 01:49:31,612 Speaker 2: bone water water. I don't think that's true. I don't 2248 01:49:31,612 --> 01:49:33,093 Speaker 2: think you are supposed to drink the bon water. 2249 01:49:33,133 --> 01:49:34,812 Speaker 4: And it's a brave move. If you want to do it, 2250 01:49:35,093 --> 01:49:35,812 Speaker 4: no one's stopping you. 2251 01:49:36,093 --> 01:49:38,253 Speaker 3: It's definitely not good for your environment.

We're talking about greenwashing. It's on the back 2259 01:50:00,853 --> 01:50:03,772 Speaker 4: of glad You may know the company, well, they make 2260 01:50:03,853 --> 01:50:06,133 Speaker 4: glad rap among other products, but they got stung in 2261 01:50:06,173 --> 01:50:08,572 Speaker 4: Australia to the tune of eight point two f five 2262 01:50:08,692 --> 01:50:11,892 Speaker 4: million dollars. One of their products said it came from 2263 01:50:12,013 --> 01:50:17,333 Speaker 4: recycled ocean plastic, but after investigations, instead the products were 2264 01:50:17,372 --> 01:50:20,492 Speaker 4: made up of about fifty percent plastic waste that had 2265 01:50:20,532 --> 01:50:23,532 Speaker 4: been collected from communities in Indonesia with no formal waste 2266 01:50:23,572 --> 01:50:27,652 Speaker 4: management system.
