1 00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:03,240 Speaker 1: And Amanda jam. 2 00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:06,440 Speaker 2: Nation demand of arms for the pub test. Boys at 3 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,960 Speaker 2: school being made to cut their hair? Does this pass 4 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:09,559 Speaker 2: the pub test? 5 00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:11,479 Speaker 3: This is still past the pub justice. This is something 6 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 3: we still should be doing. And Ozzie Dad has taken 7 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 3: his son from a prestigious private school after the boy 8 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 3: was ordered to cut his long hair. The dad had 9 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,079 Speaker 3: said it wasn't a high hairstyle. We encouraged he grew 10 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 3: and he liked it became part of his identity. Hair 11 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,320 Speaker 3: is a form of self expression of your culture, of 12 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 3: your personal beliefs. Does it matter these days? Do we 13 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 3: still have to tell boys how to have their hair. 14 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 3: Girls can pull it back in a ponytail whatever. At school? 15 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 3: Boys have to have it cut. 16 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 2: Cousin it just going to school? Now? Have you? 17 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 3: Could you be an older coat? 18 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 4: You know? 19 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 3: Education shouldn't have to be about all that stuff. Are 20 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 3: we back in your day? Exactly back in your day? 21 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 3: Have we learnt nothing about creating environments that are better 22 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 3: for life, education, for anxiety free zones for people to 23 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 3: express themselves and still have an education. Boys at school 24 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 3: being made to cut their hair? Does it past the 25 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 3: pub test? 26 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 4: It doesn't past the pub test. I'm dealing with it. 27 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,039 Speaker 4: It's on a weekly basis. Cut it too short, you're 28 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 4: in trouble. Let it grow too long, you're in trouble. 29 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 4: One little hair and of place you're in trouble. So 30 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 4: it's costed me thirty five dollars a month just to 31 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,680 Speaker 4: cut his hairs, about eight grand a year for school. Fully, 32 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 4: so it doesn't part the part test. Just they've got 33 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,040 Speaker 4: to out a little bit of common sense. 34 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 5: Back in the early seventies, my school went on strike 35 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 5: over this issue. Immitially not a private school, the education 36 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 5: department in the school had no legal standing. We held 37 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 5: out for a week or so. They lost. I didn't 38 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 5: actually go in mine all at the time. I'd do 39 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 5: it long after and cut it short by the youth. Well, 40 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 5: but the whole idea was it was our choice. 41 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 4: No, I don't think it us. 42 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: Well, we had a problem with my brother actually going 43 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: to a very strict Catholic school, and my poor brother 44 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: actually suffered ala pizza and he used to get teeth 45 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: because they could visibly see these big bold Alabisha's plots 46 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: because he had to cut it short. See. 47 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 3: See, it doesn't impact your education, it just gives you anxiety. 48 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 3: May we need to look at that stuff. I always 49 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 3: thought my boys always had to have their haircut, you know. 50 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 3: But I look at it now, I think, what does 51 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 3: it matter? Does it really matter? 52 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 2: Does it matter? I remember coming home from work one 53 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 2: day and my eldest son, who was eighteen at the time, 54 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 2: was in front of the mirror just giving something. And 55 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 2: I said, well, obviously this is a job getting haircut, 56 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 2: no doubt. 57 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 3: See you had the big mullet, and yet you think 58 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 3: you need to have a great haircut to get along 59 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 3: in life. 60 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 2: Well, I worked, I managed to do a job with 61 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 2: a mullet, and I was an adult
