1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,960 Speaker 1: From Australia, Murray, Old's ever been bitten by a wasp? 2 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,160 Speaker 2: Look, I'm not sure, Andrew. I remember I've been stung 3 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:11,520 Speaker 2: by a bumblebee. They only sting you once, wasps. Keep biting, right, 4 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 2: you're in Australia. 5 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 1: You're in Australia. Other very critical quick questions. Ever been 6 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:19,120 Speaker 1: bitten by a snake or bitten by a spider? 7 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 2: No, no, no, any of those things. But Australia does 8 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,320 Speaker 2: have I think nineteen of the world's most twenty deadly snakes. 9 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 2: I don't know who's got the other one. But it doesn't, 10 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 2: Boody matter, because we've got nineteen. 11 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,519 Speaker 1: Twenty percent of student loans in Australia set to be 12 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: wiped out. 13 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 2: That's right, and it's on average it's about five and 14 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 2: a half thousand dollars per student. This was a very 15 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 2: significant election measure that Labor put forward to cut one 16 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 2: fifth of your student debt. And you know, the liberal side, 17 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 2: the conservative side of politics, wonders why it had no 18 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 2: people under thirty voting for. It had no women either, 19 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 2: by that you know, and no migrants either, but that's 20 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 2: another debate. So it was certainly very very popular with 21 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 2: young people. Not just for degrees either, wasn't just for 22 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 2: medicine and for engineering. It's for young men and women 23 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,679 Speaker 2: who are doing the vocational stuff as well. Andrew electricians, builders, plumbers, 24 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 2: Tyler's the whole range, the whole suite of skills that 25 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 2: any modern society needs. All these, you know, they all 26 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:25,759 Speaker 2: need tertiary education levels these days to do just about everything, 27 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 2: of course, and so very significant for a lot of people, 28 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 2: thousands and thousands and thousands of people. I saw one 29 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 2: figure over three million. Not sure if it's that much, 30 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 2: but certainly very well, very warmly welcomed by the young 31 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,839 Speaker 2: people who were going to receive this debt. 32 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,919 Speaker 1: Retired pork barrel politics were actually an aid to great 33 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: business efficiency and productivity. 34 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 2: Depends on you talk to mate. One nation. Pauline Hanson 35 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 2: and her morons voted against it. So you know, I mean, 36 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 2: these are people who that is lucky that they invented 37 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 2: slip on shoes because bloody shoe laces. Beyond the Pauline Hanson. 38 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: Bob, I wish you'd actually say what you really mean 39 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: more often, Murray. Now, inflation is down to a four 40 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:10,399 Speaker 1: year low. 41 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,959 Speaker 2: There it is not since twenty twenty one is the 42 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 2: headline rate down to two point one percent the year 43 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 2: to June. The underlying rate, which is the one the 44 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 2: Reserve Bank most carefully watches, that's the one that strips 45 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 2: out all the volatile items, could be the price of 46 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 2: oil goes to the roof or whatever. That was two 47 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 2: point seven percent, But that's right in that goldilock zone, 48 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 2: the sweet spot. The Reserve Bank has been waiting for 49 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 2: inflation to come down sustainably between two and three percent, 50 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 2: So two point seven percent right in that sweet spot. 51 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 2: Now the government says, no surprise here. It's a stunning result. 52 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 2: And of course what this is done, and it was 53 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 2: heightened speculation. The Reserve Bank is going to cut interustrates 54 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,119 Speaker 2: at its next meeting, which I think is next week, 55 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 2: perhaps the week after, and maybe another cut prior to Christmas, 56 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,799 Speaker 2: and that will be super well welcomed by so many 57 00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 2: people over here with big mortgages. 58 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 1: I want to talk about this guy called David James, 59 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: who I cannot call a creep yet because he hasn't 60 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: been found guilty, but I know his name, facing thirteen offenses, 61 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: with nine accounts of advigative use of a child to 62 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: make child abuse material. I mean a lot of the 63 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: allegations are too graphic to publish, but we know his 64 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: name and I think this is important because often in 65 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: these cases, until they found guilty, we don't know who 66 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,639 Speaker 1: these creeps are. So how come we know the name 67 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: of David James in the New South Wales. 68 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 2: It was a twelve month fight in court to He 69 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 2: was trying to protect his identity. He wanted to remain anonymous. 70 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 2: Police went to court and said no, he's accused of, 71 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 2: as you say, extremely serious crimes. And finally he has 72 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 2: now been a court has found no, he's got no 73 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 2: right to anonymity, so he has been identified. So for 74 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 2: twelve months this fight was going on. Now we know 75 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 2: a bit about this fellow. He's worked at nearly sixty 76 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 2: childcare centers six to zero. He's also apparently a former policeman. 77 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 2: He was allegedly pinned by federal police, not the state police, 78 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 2: but federal police last year on the dark web, and 79 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 2: he was initially charged with refusing to grant police access 80 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 2: to his telephone. Police believed he had photographed children, and 81 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 2: indeed the allegation is explicit photographs of kids five to 82 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 2: six years old, right as they used bathrooms at some 83 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 2: of these centers that he was working at. So it's grotesque, 84 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 2: it's dreadful, as you say, allegations only at the stage 85 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 2: the police had they got a very very strong case 86 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 2: when the matter goes to court. 87 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: I understood they contacted over twelve hundred people who might 88 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 1: have been victims, and they've all said yet, no, good, 89 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 1: thank you, we know all this and we're okay with 90 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: having his name out. So there we go. And the 91 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: judge also said there's no reason to keep his name 92 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: for public, even though the lawyer said naming him might 93 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: cause him to be under threatened the jail environment. 94 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 2: So shame. 95 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: Mary old Za.
