1
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:09,719
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Rap, a weekly podcast covering women's sports news. Bez,

2
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:11,479
Speaker 1: what have we got around the grounds? This week?

3
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 2: City FC claimed their fifth A League title. Must be

4
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 2: thinking about Sky Blue teams winning five titles. Australia qualify

5
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 2: for Olympic three on three basketball for the first time,

6
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 2: and Liz Ellis has been appointed to a director position

7
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 2: on the Netball Australia Board.

8
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: I'm stoked about that. A lot of the fans were

9
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: stoked about that.

10
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

11
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: For the key story, we'll chat about the disparity in

12
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: the number of spots for male and female surfers on

13
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: the WSL. My name is Chloe Dalton and I'm joined

14
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: every week on the show by my co host Bez.

15
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: We're recording on gadagal Land. Before we get into around

16
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: the grounds, Bez, we need to discuss I spoke about

17
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: it on my solo RAP last week. I hated it.

18
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 1: I hated doing it by myself. It was over in

19
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: about eight minutes because it was uncomfortable.

20
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 2: But I also haven't listened to it.

21
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, you haven't. That's not what I wanted to talk about.

22
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: You did do a very not subtle nod to the

23
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: war retars five time champions, lifetime champs. How's it feel?

24
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: For those who don't know you are the champs? The

25
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,479
Speaker 1: Galaxy team will champs of the Galaxy. How's it feel? Yeah? Great?

26
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 2: It was just reward for a really impressive season from

27
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 2: everyone involved in the group. And yeah, got a bit

28
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 2: close there for a little while. Yeah, a little bit nervy,

29
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 2: but always confident in the execution and the fitness levels

30
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: of the girls. So really stoked and we gave it

31
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: a nudge.

32
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,119
Speaker 1: How good, congrats, I'm not surprised. Let's take a look

33
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: around the grounds. In rugby union, THEO was seven's finished

34
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: runners up in Singapore, with the injury hit team going

35
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 1: down to New Zealand in the final twenty one to

36
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: thirty one. The result means the Black Ferns took home

37
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: the Singapore crown. And it's a little bit confusing actually

38
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: the new format of the league, so New Zealand take

39
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: the title as league winners and then it's kind of

40
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: like winner takes all in Madrid. So at the end

41
00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: of this month, the Madrid weekend is the and final

42
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: they're essentially calling it. So the top eight teams are

43
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: going to Madrid to play for the series title. So

44
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: New Zealand kind of won the overall thing on points

45
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: and get the league winner's trophy, right, it's a bit bizarre.

46
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 2: So they have late one, minor prems, yes pretty much,

47
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 2: and minor premiers and now it's time for the GF

48
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 2: way better.

49
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: Great analogy. I was there in Singapore for the weekend.

50
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: It was. I loved it. It was a great weekend

51
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:24,959
Speaker 1: back in my hometown. I had a lot of fun

52
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: working with World Rugby and I thought the Aussie women

53
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: were really good, particularly on day two. They killed it.

54
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: We're already missing a couple of players and Charlotte Kazlek

55
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: and Shani Williams back home. And then Gosh had a

56
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: couple of injuries, a couple of injuries to Lily Dick

57
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: and Madison Ashby, so hoping, crossing fingers that they're okay.

58
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 2: But a couple for the kiwis too.

59
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, a couple for the Kiwis, which is really big

60
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: head of the Paris.

61
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 2: Sport is cruel. You know better than anyone what it's

62
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,399
Speaker 2: like to miss out in the Olympics last minute, don't

63
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 2: your friend.

64
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 1: Thank you for the reminder, PTSD, PTSD.

65
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 2: We're moving on. In football, the Women's super League in

66
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 2: the UK is coming to a very exciting conclusion, and

67
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 2: overnight what looked like a fairly certain trophy for Manchester

68
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 2: City got turned on its head when Arsenal beat City

69
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 2: two to one. I've just scoring two goals in injury

70
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 2: time and Chelsea destroyed Bristol City eight zip eight. Nowl

71
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 2: it's a huge, massive whacking. The result leaves Chelsea one

72
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: win behind City, but they've got two games to play

73
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 2: and importantly the eight zip win swung the goal difference

74
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 2: in the Chell's favor. Chelsea play their game in hand

75
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 2: midwek against Tottenham and then faced Manchester United on the

76
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 2: final day, while City will need to dispatch Aston Villa

77
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 2: this weekend and hope that Tottenham or United do them

78
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 2: a favor and take some points off Chelsea, which would

79
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 2: be quite ironic if they were reliant on their hugely

80
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 2: fierce crosstown rivals United on the last day to take

81
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 2: some points off Chelsea would be very amusing. It will

82
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: be a fitting end to Emma Hayes's twel year TWA

83
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 2: in London. If Chelsea can lift the trophy on the

84
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 2: final day. It'd be nice, wouldn't it go Chelsea In

85
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 2: some more football news.

86
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: On Saturday, Sydney FC defeated Melbourne City one nil and

87
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: claimed a record fifth A League Women Championship, their second

88
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: in a row. Premiers Melbourne City dominated for long periods

89
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: of the match, but couldn't find a way past Sydney

90
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: keeper Jarda Wyman. Jarda has been exceptional this season. She's

91
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: been very, very good. It was neil all at halftime

92
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: and it took super sub Shay Connors to break the deadlock.

93
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: She scored in the sixty ninth minute following an epic

94
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: assist from teenager Indiana Dos Santos. I met her the

95
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: other day. She is Indiana, She's sixteen years old. She's

96
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: like a quiet, lovely little kid. But she's been killing

97
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: it for her age, the future, the future of the game.

98
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 1: Also a great name, Indiana Dos Santos. It's a great name,

99
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: great name. The match was played in front of the

100
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 1: second largest Grand figure moving on. They fighted in front

101
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 1: of the second largest Grand Final crowd of all time

102
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: in Sydney. Coach Anti Jurik told media this current group,

103
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: regardless of stats, is the best team in history in

104
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 1: terms of how long they've done it. And the success

105
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: they've had. Mackenzie Hawks be capped off and up and

106
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: down years. She left Sydney FC for a stint in

107
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,679
Speaker 1: the UK with Brighton and Hove Albion where she didn't

108
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: see a lot of playing time bes so it was

109
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: pretty special that she came back to the Sky Blue.

110
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: She scored a goal in each of the Sky Blue semifinals,

111
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: so pretty cool for her to come home and lift

112
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: the trophy.

113
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, she killed it. In netball, the Melbourn Vixen's and

114
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 2: West Coast West Coast Fever are the only two teams

115
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 2: undefeated after four rounds a really competitive Sun Corps Super

116
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 2: New Ball. It's pretty cool, isn't it. The Fever were

117
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 2: too good for the News of Us Swifts on Sunday,

118
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 2: when Sunday a Yang double.

119
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: Sunday Double Sunday, I think that's what threw you.

120
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 2: She did a defensive job on Sunday on Swiss Golar

121
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 2: take Ellen House me to keep her very quiet and

122
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,679
Speaker 2: deliver the Fever as seventy five to fifty nine victory.

123
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 2: The Vixens were too good for the Flyrebirds, running out

124
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 2: sixty eight to fifty five winners.

125
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: Off court, Liz Ellis has been appointed to the Netball

126
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 1: Australia Board. She's been highly critical of the organization in

127
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 1: the past, which is I think potentially why it took

128
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: so long for her to actually join the board. Seems

129
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: like there was a bit of a bit of heat

130
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: there between the two different parties. I think she questioned

131
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 1: in the past whether the board could regain the trust

132
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 1: of the players after a number of incidents where the

133
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 1: players were left out of the governing body's decision making processes,

134
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: and she told the City Morning Herald after her appointment,

135
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: this is not the end point where we go, Okay,

136
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: everything's let's fix Let's get Liz on the board, let's

137
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: get a new CEO. There are deep scars from the

138
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: last couple of years and I think there's a lot

139
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: of work to be done. I don't want people to

140
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,799
Speaker 1: think we've got the Messiah, that all our problems are solved.

141
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: I'm just one of now a team of nine. I

142
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: have skills that are different from all the other board

143
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: members and can hopefully compliment them. I really respect Liz

144
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: as a person, well player person and an operator, and

145
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 1: even the way that she's spoken about that in the

146
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: early days, I think she's she's got a fair bit

147
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: of self aware around the work she's doing.

148
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think it's super refreshing to see someone

149
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 2: that look has probably stood outside of that organizing body,

150
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,119
Speaker 2: thrown some rocks, rocks that probably deserved to be thrown,

151
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 2: but instead of just throwing rocks, said hey, I'm here

152
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 2: to help too, Like, let me actually get in the arena,

153
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 2: get involved and help fix the problem.

154
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, she was throwing rocks that had solutions wrapped inside them.

155
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 2: Oh, nice little rocks like a kinder surprise of rock.

156
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 2: In athletics, was there chocolate?

157
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

158
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,800

Speaker 2: seconds to finish second in their heat behind Germany at

162
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,520

163
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 2: time since the Sydney two thousand Olympics at the Australian

164
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 2: women's fur by one hundred real team has qualified.

165
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: That's a long time coming. That's twenty four years ago.

166
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 2: And I might be making this up, but don't we

167
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 2: just when you're the host, don't you just get invited

168
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 2: to everything.

169
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: Oh so we didn't even qualify.

170
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 2: Maybe, although mel gains for Taylor, she was awesome, so

171
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 2: she probably anked it. Yeah right, anyway, amazing, such such

172
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 2: an exciting time for the athletics, so good. Conley said

173
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 2: after the lightning quick run. I think we all had

174
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 2: a lot of trust in each other, so we said,

175
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 2: you know what, let's just relax. We've done the work

176
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 2: and we've done this a million times. Let's just go

177
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,119
Speaker 2: to this and qualify through the Olympics together.

178
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: Let's just go do it.

179
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 2: Let's just go to run far.

180
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: Trust, trust, loves trust, love a bit of trust in surfing.

181
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: Jesse Miiley Dye has been named the new commissioner of

182
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,839
Speaker 1: the World Surf League, the WSL. She will become the

183
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: first woman in the role and was previously the Chief

184
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: of Sport for the WSL. Miley Dye told sport COO

185
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: and She Media's Winning Women's Winning Women and Sports event

186
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: last week women's sports are definitely not a charity. I

187
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: think for a period of time people have perceived as such,

188
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: but we've also shown that if the investment in there,

189
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: returns will come. This her posts on socials, this is

190
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: I loved this one. We love good quotes on here.

191
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: My fingers got excited. This is my excited finger. I

192
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: don't just stop doing it.

193
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 2: I do a lot of keyboard. Yeah, we can play

194
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 2: a little excitement tune when you get like that.

195
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: Being the first woman to hold a specific position hasn't

196
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: always been a smooth robe, but it's worth it. What

197
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: I believe is this, you can be many things, but

198
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: just make sure you're not the last.

199
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 2: Love that Jesse so good, love it very poignant, which

200
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 2: I tried to spell bit I spelt it wrong.

201
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: Did you take that out? Yep? Because I saw it

202
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: was in there before and it's gone.

203
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 2: In a cricket speaking of balls, Cricket Australia last week

204
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 2: unveiled a ten year plan film formulated with input from

205
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 2: top players on how to grow the game. Firstly, can

206
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 2: we just talk about how refreshing it is for a

207
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 2: body to come out and say here's a ten year plan.

208
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 2: I really really enjoyed that. So do I not a

209
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 2: Oh god, we have another season next year. I wonder

210
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 2: what we're gonna do.

211
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: Let's make a decision one month before we start.

212
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, brother, Cricket Australia. The plan includes a goal to

213
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 2: boost revenue to one hundred and twenty one million dollars

214
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,319
Speaker 2: by twenty thirty four and have all domestic cricketers playing

215
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 2: as full time professionals by that time. HM the WBBL

216
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 2: season will be condensed by two weeks to a forty

217
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 2: game regular season, and a new state based T twenty

218
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,719
Speaker 2: comp will be launched this summer. The restructure of the

219
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 2: domestic season means players will earn an average salary of

220
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty thousand.

221
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: That's incredible, that's so good, wow. C I've also committed

222
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: to a five hundred million dollar investment into female friendly infrastructure,

223
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 1: which is heavily linked to a goal to grow grassroots

224
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: participation rates to one hundred thousand players off the playing field.

225
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: Caaim to have at least forty percent female representation in

226
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: key positions across Australian cricket, including executives, boards, community cricket

227
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 1: roles by twenty thirty four, and in the stand. CA

228
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: is targeting six hundred thousand fans attending women's cricket in

229
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: Australia each summer by twenty thirty four, a marked increase

230
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: from the combined WBBL and Women's in international attendance last

231
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: summer of one hundred and twenty thousand dollars. They are

232
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: just like, it's such a holistic approach, isn't it. It's

233
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: not just I think a lot of time with this

234
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: progression of sports new collective bargaining agreements, we see standards

235
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: put in place for the players around minimum average salaries,

236
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: pregnancy policies and whatnot. But the fact that they're targeting

237
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: key positions on the board and also very very clear

238
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: metrics on crowd numbers, I think is incredible.

239
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 2: There is nothing like a measurable objective like wishy washy.

240
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 2: We can get all flowery and stuff, but at the

241
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 2: end of the day they've come out and said here's

242
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 2: some numbers. Yeah, we've got ten years to do it.

243
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 2: Love it, Elisee Perry, she loves it too. She said.

244
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 2: The public appetite for women's sport is now indisputable. Australian

245
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 2: cricket has been at the forefront of the growth in

246
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 2: women's sport, providing some of the best opportunities for players

247
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 2: with resourcing and remuneration. Hard word ms and ends close

248
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 2: together port and it's reasuring to know this commitment will

249
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 2: not only be sustained but greatly enhanced over the next

250
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 2: ten years.

251
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: How good In basketball, the Australian team, the Gangaroos three

252
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: on three team, which indigenous word for kangaroos. They've qualified

253
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: for the first their first ever Olympic appearance.

254
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:14,439
Speaker 2: Appearance appearance.

255
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: Wow. They defeated Canada in the final of the FEBA

256
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: Three on three Universality Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Japan on Sunday.

257
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 2: Girls.

258
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: So, congratulations call. We got the video up on our socials.

259
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: It was a pretty emotional moment for them. Loved it.

260
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at the key story.

261
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 2: So in surfing, So last time we were together on

262
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 2: the rap we spoke about Sally Fitzgibbons falling below the

263
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 2: mid season cut line and finding herself on the Challenger

264
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 2: Circuit for the second year running. In the aftermat math

265
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 2: of that dreaded cut there has again been discussion around

266
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 2: the difference between the men's and the women's Tour. The

267
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 2: Men's Championship Tour has thirty five men that are reduced,

268
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 2: so it begins the season with thirty five men, nod

269
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 2: to twenty two at the mid season cup. Women start

270
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 2: at eighteen. Surfers and end up at ten.

271
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: It's not even half.

272
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 2: That's good mathing from you, did. I think about it

273
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 2: for a while.

274
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: I was getting angry about this before because I know

275
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: you're going to go on to talk about the equal

276
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: prize money. But I think I get a little bit

277
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: frustrated on this one because there's organizations that show that

278
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: they're ticking all the boxes when participation numbers at the

279
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: elite level is a huge thing.

280
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 2: Massive, Yeah, bathways opportunities. So the World Surf League do

281
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 2: offer equal prize money, as we said, for all events,

282
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 2: but while the disparity in competitors remains, its claim of

283
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 2: equity is, as we said, pretty debatable. If it's Gibbons

284
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 2: told Code Sports it has to change the level of

285
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 2: surfing is insane, and to have ten people for the

286
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 2: back half of the year is a wild thing to

287
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 2: think about. I don't write the rules. I just see

288
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 2: the talent and I think it is an awesome show.

289
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 2: I love being a part of it. It's not just

290
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 2: because I didn't make the cut. I'm just stating facts.

291
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 2: I love that state the facts.

292
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: State the facts. A WSL spokesperson said the governing body

293
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: is committed to equality and the progression of women's surfing.

294
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: Working in partnerships with our athletes, we're creating part ways

295
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 1: to ensure continued competitive progression and we're committed to our

296
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,839
Speaker 1: goal of having an equal number of women and men

297
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: competing in our events in the future. Let's compare that

298
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: statement to what Cricket Australia have done very opposite ends

299
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: of the ballpark. That's so wishy washy that statement.

300
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 2: Nothing nothing of substance in there, nothing that's measurable, nothing

301
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 2: that you can kind of reflect back on and say, yeah,

302
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 2: give me a date.

303
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: A Mike flick a message to Jesse Miley Dyer. Think

304
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: he's usually an absolute legends.

305
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 2: A legend, but you know, this is a really good

306
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 2: challenge for Jesse Miley Dollerda. She's just she's just, you know,

307
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 2: been appointed disamazining role. So here's a problem.

308
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: Absolutely, So, Sally, our mate, is going to join other

309
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: talented surfers on the second tier Challenger Series, all fighting

310
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: hard to qualify for the CT next season and return

311
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: to the top of the sport where the fight for

312
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: spots is Fearce, We're going to head down to Narrawbin
