1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: Job mission with joon Z and Amanda. Do you know

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: they're changing the rules about what you can drink in

3
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: Antarctica at our Australian base there, Australian Antarctic Expeditioners. So

4
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: here's what's happening at our stations there. You are now

5
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 1: allowed to bring in to the station seven cans of

6
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: full strength beer per week, or one point five bottles

7
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: of wine table and sparkling per week, or half a

8
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: bottle of spirits per week. People didn't feel that. Over

9
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: the years, people haven't felt that was enough. So you

10
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: know what they've been doing, they've been home brewing. Home

11
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: brewing is coming to an end and this is big news.

12
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 1: There's a new alcohol policy being implemented by the Australian

13
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: Antarctic Division ruling out home brewing because they say it's

14
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: not possible to safely manage consumption, hygiene standards and alcohol content.

15
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: That's the whole point of home brewing. Yeah, whilst do

16
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: you drink it because it tastes terrible? Well, Antarctic locals

17
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: the Australian stations say it was easy to brew on

18
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: station than it was to transport alcohol down, so it's

19
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: been regarded as a very important role at the mcquarie

20
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: Island station. Someone from each season's group of expeditioners has

21
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: been appointed as the brew master. Oh yeah. In twenty seventeen,

22
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: the role we shared between a building and services supervisor

23
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: and a plumber who brewed about twelve different varieties of

24
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: beer that season. But now they are a new policy

25
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: health guidelines saying no more than ten standard drinks of

26
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: alcohol a week, prompting homebrew to be banned. This is

27
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: a I guess this sounds quite reasonable. This is a quote.

28
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,479
Speaker 1: Antarctica is a unique environment, incredibly cold and harsh. Very

29
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: small mistakes can lead to very big consequences in Antarctica.

30
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: You're drunk, you go out and stare at the stars.

31
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: We find your body in the morning. That's the ad

32
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: for the homebrew, because you've done that, you've staggered home

33
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: and slept outside. And also I had a homebrew called Stroke.

34
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: You drink it and one side of your face would

35
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: go or numb, and you kept going. Yeah. Of course,

36
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: once visiting Harley's Errents when I first met them, and

37
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: his dad was doing home brewed beer and wine. Wow,

38
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: I pulled a lot of rough heads drinking that vinegar.

39
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: But you'd be sitting watching television here. Bank bank, Bank, Bank, Bang.

40
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 1: I think someone's being shot. It's all the bottles exploding.

41
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: Just go to your BWS in Antarctica. Just go to

42
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: your Dan Murphy's local news happening now in Antarctica. I'm

43
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 1: going out, gentlemen. I maybe sometime locally, I think that

44
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: actually happened in the Arctic though that story, or maybe

45
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: some time. I think it was a little further north

46
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: than Antarctica. Jonesy and Amanda's ga
