Speaker 1: Sam Kazlowski. It's Wednesday, the tenth of November. It's an

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: exciting day for us here at the Daily OS as

4
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: we're launching another podcast, Young Dumb and Informed is now

5
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: live Episode one. It's a four part series to bring

6
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 1: you up to speed on the big issues ahead of

7
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,959
Speaker 1: the next federal election. Later in the podcast, we're going

8
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: to be joined by political journalists of The Daily OS

9
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: Belle fitz Simons, to talk to us about electric vehicles

10
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 1: in Australia.

11
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 2: First up today, there is news out of Queensland. Yesterday,

12
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 2: Premier Anastasia Palache announced that pubs, clubs, nightclubs, hotels, restaurants, cafes,

13
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 2: bars and music festivals will soon be free from all

14
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 2: restrictions for fully vaccinated people. The rules will come into

15
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 2: effect from the seventeenth of December, or when the state

16
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 2: reaches eighty percent double dose vaccination rate, so there is

17
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 2: an incentive for all those Queenslanders to go out and

18
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 2: get the jab.

19
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: Some bittersweet news, Australian tennis champion Dylan Orcott has announced

20
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: he will retire from the sport after next year. Is

21
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: Ossie Open with fifteen Grand Slam singles titles and a

22
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: few gold medals, Allcott is the most successful men's quad

23
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: tennis player of all time.

24
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: The lead detective in the abduction of four year old

25
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 2: Cleo Smith has returned to the town where she was

26
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 2: found to ascertain if there was anyone else involved. It

27
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 2: comes after a thirty six year old man was charged

28
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 2: with kidnapping offenses last week.

29
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: And today's some good news from New South Wales. New

30
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 1: South Wales has officially hit the ninety percent double dose

31
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 1: vaccination rate. New South Wales Health Minister Brad Hazard said

32
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: yesterday in keeping yourself safe, you're also keeping your family,

33
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: your friends and your community safe and of course getting

34
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: us back to the way of life that we all

35
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: hungered for for so long.

36
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 2: Okay, so today we are talking about electric vehicles. Yesterday

37
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 2: the government announced a new electric vehicle strategy. We must

38
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 2: be gearing up for a federal election because it seems

39
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: like there are new policies coming out left, right and center.

40
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 2: But this this one is certainly a biggie. So, Billy,

41
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 2: can you take me through what the Morrison government's announcement

42
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 2: was yesterday?

43
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 3: So this was a really highly anticipated plan that the

44
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 3: government announced yesterday because we all want to know what

45
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 3: the future of cars will look like in Australia. So

46
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 3: under this plan, the Morrison government said it will spend

47
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 3: one hundred and seventy eight million dollars in new funding

48
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 3: to help the electric vehicle sector grow in Australia. It

49
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 3: didn't exactly provide a timeline, but we just know that

50
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 3: it's planning for the electric vehicle sector to grow and

51
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 3: it will involve building charging stations for passenger cars and

52
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 3: heavy commercial vehicles as well and also households. And to

53
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 3: do this, the government will partner with the private sector

54
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 3: to fund fifty thousand charging stations in Australian homes and

55
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 3: also one thousand public charging stations across Australia. And I

56
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 3: should add that the government says the strategy will create

57
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 3: more than two thousand and six hundred new jobs and

58
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 3: it will help deliver on its recently released plan to

59
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 3: achieve net zero emissions by twenty fifty.

60
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 2: Okay, so we know what's in it what's not in

61
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 2: the policy.

62
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 3: So I think it was expected that when the government

63
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 3: did announce this, they would focus on making electric vehicles

64
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 3: cheaper for the average person. On the average salary because

65
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 3: at the moment electric cars are so incredibly expensive. But

66
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 3: it hasn't exactly done that. It hasn't included subsidies which

67
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 3: would make electric cars cheaper and does the Electric Vehicle

68
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 3: Council announced yesterday. It also doesn't include tax incentives or

69
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 3: minimum emission standards or sales targets like the ones that

70
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 3: we've seen overseas. Many other countries also have a sales target,

71
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 3: which means they have a number of vehicles that they

72
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 3: want to sell by a certing year. So in the US,

73
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 3: for example, they have a fifty percent sales target by

74
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 3: twenty thirty, so by twenty thirty, fifty percent of the

75
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 3: cars they sell they want to be electric vehicles. Australia

76
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 3: doesn't have that under this plan, and last year France

77
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 3: also announced a historic plan to give buyers a significant

78
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 3: discount if they trade in a petrol or diesel car

79
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 3: for an electric vehicle.

80
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 2: In terms of what the.

81
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 3: Opposition has said, they've said that this policy doesn't go

82
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 3: far enough to increase the number of electric vehicles in Australia,

83
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 3: and they've also said that if they're elected at the

84
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 3: next federal election, label will remove taxes from electric vehicles,

85
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 3: giving Australians more choice their words.

86
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 2: So yesterday was a big day for electric vehicles. Today

87
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 2: is a big day for Billy fitz Simon's Billy. You're

88
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,239
Speaker 2: announcing a new podcast that is very relevant, especially based

89
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 2: on our conversation today. It's about the next election. Talk

90
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 2: me through it.

91
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 3: Yes, So today we are launching Young, Dumb and Informed.

92
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 3: As we like to say, it's a news podcast, not

93
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 3: for news people. It's all about breaking down the really

94
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 3: big political issues that will be particularly important in the

95
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 3: next six months as we lead up to a federal election.

96
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 3: And each episode we talk to three different people across

97
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 3: the political spectrum and also a personal perspective to understand

98
00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 3: the different perspectives on these really big important issues. So

99
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 3: I think the big takeaway from me from delving deep

100
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 3: into this is that our climate policy just doesn't have

101
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 3: a lot of detail, and there's so much uncertainty about

102
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 3: the tangible steps that we're going to take to reach

103
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 3: net zero by twenty fifty. That's something that everyone I

104
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 3: spoke to could agree on. I spoke to an Aussie

105
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 3: politician in government, Matt Canavan, the leader of the Greens,

106
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 3: Adam bant and a farmer who will be directly impacted,

107
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 3: and they all told me the exact same thing. They said,

108
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 3: we still don't know exactly how we're going to reach

109
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 3: net zero by twenty fifty.

110
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 2: You can find Billy's podcasts on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or
