But what did we learn yesterday from 12 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,240 Speaker 1: the Aikach inquiry in New South Wales? 13 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 2: So Former New South Wales Premier Mike Baird has told 14 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,880 Speaker 2: the Independent Commission against Corruption he was incredulous when he 15 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 2: learned of Gladisbury Jiclian's secret relationship with former Boggle Wogger 16 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 2: MP Darryl maguire. Bed also told the public hearing he 17 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,639 Speaker 2: believes she should have disclosed their relationship and. 18 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 1: If you're anything like me and don't know what incredulous means, 19 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: it means being unable to believe something. Meanwhile, in federal politics, 20 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: d Prime Minister and National's Leader Barnaby Joyce has said 21 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 1: he will share with Prime Minister Scott Morrison his party's 22 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: response to a net zero climate policy quote within the 23 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: next day. It comes less than two weeks before the 24 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: Glasgow Climate Conference, where Morrison is expected to commit Australia 25 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 1: to net zero missions by twenty fifty. Lots of news 26 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: on this decision hopefully today. 27 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 2: And in Western Australia, Premier Mark McGowan has announced COVID 28 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:29,040 Speaker 2: nineteen vaccinations will become mandatory for about seventy five percent 29 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 2: of the state's workforce by the end of the year. 30 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,319 Speaker 2: The vaccine mandate will apply to a range of workers, 31 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 2: including police, teachers and hospitality staff. 32 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 1: And today's good news celebrated by tens of thousands of 33 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 1: people over on our Instagram yesterday, Australia has hit a 34 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,559 Speaker 1: significant milestone, with seventy percent of the eligible population having 35 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: now received both doses of a COVID nineteen vaccine. Good 36 00:01:52,920 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: Stuff Team yesterday we reported that almost one point two 37 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: million Australian children went hungry over the last year. This 38 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: was according to Food Bank's annual Hunger Report. Billy, you 39 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: spoke to the CEO of Food Bank yesterday to get 40 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: some insights into this report. What did you learn. 41 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 2: I think one of the things that struck me the 42 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 2: most about my interview with Brianna Casey was talking about 43 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 2: how many people in Australia go hungry, but also how 44 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 2: much food is wasted in Australia, and we talked about 45 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 2: how both of those issues could possibly be solved at 46 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 2: the same time. Here's our chat. Brianna, thank you so 47 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 2: much for joining us today. 48 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 3: Oh my pleasure. Thank you for having us on. It's 49 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 3: terrific and great podcast. 50 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 2: Can you start by just sharing what your report found today? 51 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 3: The Food Bank Hunger Report twenty twenty one has painted 52 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 3: a pretty troubling picture about what the state of food 53 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,399 Speaker 3: insecurity is in Australia. And before I go any further, 54 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 3: I really should explain what we mean by food insecurity. 55 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 3: We're talking about people having anywhere from limited access to 56 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 3: food and growth or concerns about being able to have 57 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,359 Speaker 3: food and groceries, right through to people who are physically 58 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 3: skipping meals and sometimes going an entire day a week 59 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 3: without eating. And what the report has found is that 60 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 3: one in six Australian adults and a further one point 61 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 3: two million children fall into the most severe category of 62 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 3: food and security. So it means that they have limited 63 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 3: access to food or they are making significant changes to 64 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 3: the quality of their food. 65 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 2: Australia is obviously one of the wealthiest countries in the 66 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 2: world and food shortages is not typically something that you'd 67 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 2: associate with developed countries. Can you explain what god Australia 68 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 2: to this point that we have more than a million 69 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 2: children go hungry in the past year. 70 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 3: Well, there's a couple of things to be really aware of. 71 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 3: We certainly need to be aware of the fact that 72 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 3: we don't traditionally have food shortages in Australia. In fact, 73 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 3: we produce enough food to feed our population three times over. 74 00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 3: The challenge is that food is not necessarily reaching people 75 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 3: who need it the most. And what we've found is 76 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 3: for a range of reasons, from poverty and inequality through 77 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 3: to COVID nineteen through to challenges happening in the home. 78 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 3: It might be family in domestic violence, it might be 79 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 3: refugees fleeing really difficult countries and landing in Australia with 80 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,919 Speaker 3: not a lot of support for many many reasons, people 81 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 3: are finding themselves falling on tough times. And when we 82 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,359 Speaker 3: look at the reality of having really limited income, particularly 83 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 3: for anyone who might have seen Made on Netflix at 84 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 3: the moment that kicking over of the cash register, where 85 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,359 Speaker 3: you start with perhaps forty dollars a day and you 86 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 3: take off that rent and petrol and phone and internet 87 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 3: and medical costs or schooling supplies, Food comes really low 88 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 3: down that list. So for a lot of people, they 89 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 3: can't afford to make savings off those other core essentials. 90 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 3: What they're choosing or being forced to make savings on 91 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 3: is food and groceries. And what we're seeing, particularly in 92 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 3: single parent households, is a lot of parents who are 93 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 3: hiding this situation their children and trying to protect them. 94 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 3: And quite often they'll be choosing to feed their children 95 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 3: over themselves because there simply isn't enough at home to 96 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 3: feed both. 97 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 2: And I was reading that it's got worse since the pandemic. 98 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 2: Can you explain why that is? 99 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, what we've really seen throughout the pandemic. Infact, it's 100 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 3: gone up and down, to be honest, throughout the last 101 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 3: eighteen months when we have seen additional income support measures provided, 102 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 3: whether that be the job Seeker job keeper, coronavirus supplements, 103 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 3: the COVID disaster payments for people who are eligible to 104 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 3: receive those payments, it has actually helped Food and security 105 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 3: in Australia a short term improvement because it's meant that 106 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 3: people have got a higher level of income to be 107 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 3: able to spend on food that they so desperately need 108 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 3: for their families. The corollary to that is when those 109 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 3: support measures are either not available to them or tape 110 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 3: it off, it means that they are back in the 111 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 3: situation that they were beforehand. And what we know is 112 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 3: for people who were doing it tough before the pandemic, 113 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 3: they're doing it even tougher now. And when we looked 114 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 3: at the situation that people are in right now versus 115 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 3: where they were twelve months ago, three and five, Food 116 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 3: and Secure Australians are finding it more challenging right now 117 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 3: to make ends meet than they were this time last year. 118 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 3: So we've got a really long road ahead and we've 119 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 3: got some serious work to do at Food Bank if 120 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 3: we're going to make sure that every person in Australia 121 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,159 Speaker 3: who is going hungry right now has got food to 122 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 3: put on the table. 123 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 2: So interested in food Bank's methodology for this report, Like 124 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 2: when food banks set out to figure out how many 125 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 2: Australians are going hungry each week, how did you conduct 126 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 2: your research? 127 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 3: The food Bank Hunger Report is something that we've been 128 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 3: doing for ten years now and it's really been evolving 129 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 3: over that decade so that we can understand more and 130 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,919 Speaker 3: more about what food and security looks and feels like 131 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 3: for individuals, but also where it's happening and why it's happening. 132 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 3: So in this instance, but in this particular year, we 133 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 3: conducted a national survey and that was conducted in July 134 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 3: this year, So twy eight hundred and seventy seven people 135 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 3: were surveyed and they were ventatives of the Australian population 136 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 3: and more than a thousand of those had experienced food 137 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 3: and security at some point in the last twelve months 138 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,239 Speaker 3: who were able to really delve into what that looked 139 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 3: and felt like. We also obtained really critical information from 140 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 3: a great organization that runs as GIV, which is a 141 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 3: terrific website where people can find assistance measures if they 142 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 3: are falling on tough times. To really look at where 143 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 3: those searchers were happening, why they were happening, and to 144 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 3: essentially provide them to emergency assistance. And then after that 145 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 3: we also drew on food Bank's own food and growth 146 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 3: through distribution statistics and our operational information to give us 147 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 3: that full picture of what was happening on the ground 148 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 3: and where that was going. One of the things that 149 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 3: we are really keen to see there's a group of 150 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 3: extraordinary academic researchers out there who really want to do 151 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 3: a longitudinal study and a very detailed study into household 152 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 3: food and security in Australia, and we'd really love to 153 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 3: see that happen because the Food Bank Hunger Report gives 154 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 3: us such a great snapshot and moment in time in 155 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 3: terms of what's happening. If we're to genuinely understand this 156 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 3: problem better and really solve it once and for all, 157 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 3: the more research and data we've got, the better. 158 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 2: And you said before that Australia actually makes enough food 159 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 2: for every person three times over. In Australia, we waste 160 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 2: around seven point six million tons of food each year. 161 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 2: So on one hand we have severe food insecurity, but 162 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 2: we also have a problem with food wastage. Is there 163 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 2: a way to simultaneously help both of those issues. 164 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 3: Well, that's exactly why food Bank exists. The cost of 165 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,199 Speaker 3: food waste to the Australian economy is actually thirty six 166 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 3: billion dollars, and twenty billion of that is food people 167 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,719 Speaker 3: throw away in their own homes. So we have an obligation, 168 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 3: whether we are driven by the economic cost of wasting 169 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 3: food or the sustainability cost in terms of the water 170 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 3: and the nutrients that our farmers put in to grow 171 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 3: this amazing food in Australia, regardless of what's motivating you, 172 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 3: we have to do better on food waste and we 173 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,439 Speaker 3: have to meet our global commitments to have food waste 174 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 3: by twenty thirty. But equally, if we can redirect food 175 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 3: and groceries that may not look quite right or might 176 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 3: be going through a rebranding or repackaging, that otherwise don't 177 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,839 Speaker 3: make it to market but are perfectly edible we love 178 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 3: to call them perfectly imperfect. If we can redirect those 179 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 3: products to food Bank, then not only are we helping 180 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 3: make sure that food doesn't end up in landfill, we 181 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,439 Speaker 3: are helping make sure it ends up in the tummies 182 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 3: of vulnerable Australians. So that beautiful I guess marriage of 183 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,559 Speaker 3: two purposes at food Bank is around reducing food waste, 184 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 3: but more importantly, ensuring that vulnerable Australians have access to 185 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 3: food when they need it the most. And the fact 186 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 3: that we have so many families in Australia and so 187 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 3: many individuals in Australia who are waking up every day 188 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,599 Speaker 3: not knowing where their next meal comes from is just unacceptable. 189 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 3: And I acknowledge for some people this is just a 190 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 3: moment in time, it's a bump in the road. It 191 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 3: might have been loss of employment during COVID, but for others, 192 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 3: this is something they've been battling with for a really 193 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 3: long time. So we need to look at why it's 194 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 3: happening and how we can fix it together. 195 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 2: I'm sure there are people listening to this podcast asking 196 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 2: themselves what they can do to help. What can we 197 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 2: do at an individual level. 198 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 3: The first thing that people can do is really do 199 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 3: exactly what you're doing, which is familiarizing yourself with this issue, 200 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 3: the fact that Australia does have a hunger problem, the 201 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 3: fact that we're talking about it, because one of the 202 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 3: things that breaks my heart is the number of people 203 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 3: out there who are struggling right now, but not reaching 204 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,239 Speaker 3: out for help because they might feel ashamed or embarrassed, 205 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 3: or a stigma attached to the fact that they need 206 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 3: food relief. If we can bust those myths and tell 207 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 3: people it is absolutely not only normal but brave to 208 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 3: ask for help, and that's precisely why food Bank is here. 209 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 3: That's a really important step that everyone can take. But 210 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 3: in terms of what people can do to assist, we 211 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 3: talk about time, treasure, and talent. So if you can 212 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 3: donate time by volunteering at a food bank or a 213 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 3: food pantry, it's an extraordinary way to give back to community. 214 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 3: If we talk about talent, there might be some incredibly 215 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 3: clever young people out there with social media skills or 216 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 3: marketing skills, or PR skills, or whatever the case may 217 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 3: be that might want to donate services to Food Bank 218 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 3: or any of the food relief organizations out there. When 219 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 3: it comes to treasure, we know people are doing it 220 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 3: incredibly tough right now, but every dollar donated to food 221 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 3: Bank is two meals created, So it's a really tangible 222 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 3: and easy way to help people who are doing it 223 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 3: incredibly tough right now. And we can't do what we 224 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 3: do without the kindness and generosity of everyone out there. 225 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 3: And what I keep seeing over and over is the 226 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 3: impact that young Australians are having on not only the 227 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 3: work that Food Bank does, but in bringing these issues 228 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 3: to the fore. So can I say thank you to 229 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 3: everyone who is doing so much to make Australia a 230 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 3: much better place to live going forward. 231 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 2: Well, Bianna, thank you so much for everything that you do. 232 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 2: This is such an important issue to talk about. Thank 233 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 2: you so much for your time, Thank you 234 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 3: So much for having me on the podcast.
