1
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: Good morning and welcome to the Daily OS. It's Tuesday,

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: the fourth of May. My name is Sam Kazlowski and

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: helping you make sense of today's news is Zara Sideline.

4
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: Making news today a vaccine update.

5
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 2: A review into gymnastics.

6
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,440
Speaker 1: Some good news about consent education, and I.

7
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 2: Look at the upcoming federal budget. Here's today's Daily Digest.

8
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,240
Speaker 1: All Australians over the age of fifty are now eligible

9
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: to receive the Astrosenica COVID nineteen vaccine. Those eligible can

10
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: receive the vaccine at general practice for respiratory clinics as well

11
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: as state and territory mass vaccination clinics. However, we'll have

12
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: to wait until May seventeen to receive the JAB at

13
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: regular GP clinics. Bringing the vaccination forward for those over

14
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 1: fifty now means over six million Australians not yet vaccinated

15
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: from Phase two AA of the rollout are now eligible

16
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: for the shot.

17
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 2: An independent review into gymnastics in Australia has found the

18
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 2: sport has enabled a culture of physical, emotional and sexual abuse.

19
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 2: The horrifying report explored power and balances between athletes and coaches,

20
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 2: body shaming and bullying. There are approximately three hundred and

21
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 2: twenty one thousand participants in gymnastics in Australia, with seventy

22
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 2: seven percent of those female and ninety one percent of

23
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 2: those under the age of twelve. The report made twelve

24
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 2: recommendations around five key areas relating to the negative experiences

25
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 2: detailed by young gymnasts and.

26
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Aardern has said the differences

27
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: between New Zealand and China are becoming harder to reconcile.

28
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: She said it will not have escaped the attention of

29
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: anyone here that as China's role in the world grows

30
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: and changes, the differences between our systems and the interest

31
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: and values that shape those systems are becoming harder to reconcile.

32
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: The comments came after increasing pressure from allies over New

33
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: Zealand's reluctance to use the Five Eyes Intelligence and Security Alliance.

34
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 2: And finally to the good News and this relates to

35
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 2: our chat with Chanel Kontos last week. Sexual health organizations

36
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 2: have seen or rise in demand for consent education after

37
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 2: the media attention on sexual assault this year. There's been

38
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 2: a reported rise in demand coming from both students and

39
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 2: also requests for education that have been made from teachers

40
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 2: and staff. So Sam got pretty excited last week when

41
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 2: he had the opportunity to learn more about the Tasmanian election.

42
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 2: And he has no idea what's coming today because we

43
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 2: are officially seven days out from the federal budget, which

44
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 2: means it is absolutely time to talk money, to talk economics,

45
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 2: and to talk federal budget.

46
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: I have to admit the budget is a little bit

47
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: of a blind spot for me. I'm fine when I

48
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: read the headlines the next day of the key two

49
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: or three points, but I struggle to get my head

50
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 1: around the amounts of information that comes out on the night.

51
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: Is the best way to think about the budget, the

52
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: same way that the household would.

53
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 2: So if we go back to the very basics, the

54
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 2: federal budget is probably the document that affects your life

55
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 2: and my life more than anything else the federal government

56
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 2: actually does. So the federal budget can determine how much

57
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 2: tax you and I pay, what our mate's university fees are,

58
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 2: how expensive our groceries are, and even whether we'll be

59
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: able to purchase house.

60
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: So it's really significant.

61
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 2: And what's outlined in the federal budget each year is

62
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 2: how much the government is intending to spend or has spent,

63
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 2: and how much they're bringing in in our taxes. So

64
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 2: as with everything else twenty twenty, the federal budget last

65
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 2: year was just very very different. Firstly, it wasn't handed

66
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 2: down in May as a budget usually is. And also

67
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 2: the federal government, who had until last year been projecting

68
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 2: that they were going to be handing down a surplus,

69
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 2: handed down a significant, significant deficit. So naturally, as we

70
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 2: come out of COVID, everyone's keeping their eyes peeled for

71
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 2: what Treasurer Josh Friedenberg and Prime Minister Scott Morrison will

72
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 2: be saying next Tuesday, May the eleventh. And one thing

73
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 2: to always watch out for is budget leaks. So in

74
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 2: the weeks leading up to a federal budget, the government

75
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 2: will actually talk to media or shop out some stories

76
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 2: to media about what is going to be in the budget,

77
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 2: so that not everything comes as a massive surprise. So

78
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 2: yesterday we found out that the federal government in next

79
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 2: week's budget will include a major childcare program. And that's

80
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 2: just one of many budget leaks we've seen.

81
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: I want you to try and tackle this question for me.

82
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: So there's always a lot of emotion placed on the

83
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: budget deficit is either scene as good or bad. Surplus

84
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: is either scene as good or bad. How's the economy

85
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: looking going into next week's budget.

86
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 2: So it's difficult to know until the government actually releases

87
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 2: the numbers and when people like the media go into

88
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 2: budget lock up, which is when you're literally locked in

89
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 2: a room with budget papers and you have to trawl

90
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: through them, that's where you see the real state of

91
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 2: the economy. So until we have those figures, no one

92
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 2: can say for certain. But there was a Deloitte Access

93
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 2: Economics budget monitor that was released yesterday that said that

94
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 2: government revenues have increased dramatically in recent months and that

95
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 2: the economy is recovering far quicker than people had anticipated.

96
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 2: It says the government revenue for the year twenty twenty

97
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 2: to twenty twenty one could end up being twenty one

98
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 2: billion dollars ahead of the forecast in Treasury's recent budget

99
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 2: update in December. So to break that down last December,

100
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 2: when we were still seeing some lockdown, New South Wales

101
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 2: was actually experiencing a cluster At that time, the Treasury Department,

102
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 2: which is Josh Friedenberg's department, they forecasted a certain revenue

103
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 2: number and now whether it be based on the economy

104
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 2: just being able to open up quicker than anticipated, unemployment

105
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 2: dropping faster than anticipated. It could be a whole host

106
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 2: of things, but we're far ahead of where Treasury thought

107
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 2: would be at this time.

108
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: Sorry to ask a dumb question, but where does the

109
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: government get their revenue from.

110
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 2: They get it from you and I. So the government

111
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 2: predominantly raises revenue through taxes. So that could be personal

112
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 2: income tax, that could be company tax, that could be

113
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 2: capital gains tax. There are a whole number of taxes

114
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 2: that the government collects through different means and we've actually

115
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 2: done an explainer on that on our instagram if you

116
00:05:58,560 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 2: want to check out more.

117
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: So we know the next Tuesday night the Treasurer Josh

118
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: Friedenberg will deliver an important speech in Parliament. What is

119
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: the role of the opposition that budget time?

120
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 2: So the federal opposition, who we know is the Labor

121
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 2: Party currently in Australia, they ham down something called a

122
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 2: Budget reply speech and that is usually given by the

123
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 2: Shadow Treasurer, who in this case is Jim Charmers, and

124
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 2: Jim Chalmers next week will outline what Labour's plan for

125
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 2: the economy would be if there were to win power.

126
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 2: So everything that Jim Charmers outlines is merely an idea

127
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 2: at this point because Labor are not in power and

128
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 2: therefore do not have the reins to run the economy.

129
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 2: So Jim Charmers will hand down a speech that includes

130
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 2: Labour's childcare policy, Labour's electric vehicle policy, a whole host

131
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 2: of policies, but really nothing much will come from that

132
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 2: except either a lot of pressure will be applied to

133
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 2: the government if people really like what the Labor Treasurer says,

134
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 2: or if Labor were to win power at the next

135
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 2: federal election, they would probably have to take through a

136
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 2: few of those cans with them.

137
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: I know that for a lot of us, the federal

138
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: budget is something that we've kind of missed in the

139
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 1: news cycle and put in the too hard basket. But

140
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: this year that's going to change because we're going to

141
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: go through it all with you. We've introduced you to

142
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: what to look out for in this year's federal budget,

143
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: and if you want to keep following the news, follow

144
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: us on Instagram at the Daily OS. It's where over

145
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand Australians get their news throughout the day,

146
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: and we would love you to become part of the community,
