00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,599
Speaker 4: That wasn't anything I said last time. I know I didn't.

15
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 2: Say Yesvember sounds funny. This isn't a reaction to November

16
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 2: or November where men grow mos. This isn't women growing

17
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 2: most because I've had a head start.

18
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: Ah, I'm sorry to hear that. We'll do a play

19
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: on words, whatever works, And yeah, we want to say

20
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: yes yes November so that every child has a permanent,

21
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: loving home. So yeah, we're inviting all of Australia to

22
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:08,479
Speaker 1: support us and saying yes to supporting us finding families.

23
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 3: Every child there's a dog, he's gone already. No, it's

24
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 3: just every time the elevator opens.

25
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 2: It's interesting. I did a story recently with some people

26
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: who've set up they're foster parents, but they've set up

27
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 2: a charity to help people, young people with the gap

28
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 2: that when you're eighteen, you're no longer part of the

29
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 2: system and you have to fend for yourself. And imagine,

30
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 2: and the stats show that it's better for all of

31
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 2: us if we nurture these people. There's less crime, less

32
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 2: incarceration long term where society is better off, not just

33
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 2: the kids.

34
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and that's another big push for us next year.

35
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: And actually hope language in my organization in New York,

36
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: we've done a whole big push with Google. We set

37
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: up all these decoding classes for kids going out of

38
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: foster care looking for vocational internships. And I'm inviting all

39
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: the corporates in Australia to put their hand up to

40
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: provide internships and vocational training for these young kids who

41
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 1: are transitioning.

42
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 3: And there's so many ways that everyone can help.

43
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: You can be mentoring, you can you know, someone can

44
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: donate computers for these kids. I know in La There's

45
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: two Australian girls that do a sense of home whereby

46
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: they set up a home for them. They collect an

47
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 1: inventory of furniture and create a beautiful home.

48
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,239
Speaker 3: You know. It's like we're all becoming the foster parents.

49
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: You know. I like to help these kids, Like at eighteen,

50
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: there's no way I could looked after myself.

51
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 4: I'm and it takes a village to raise the people.

52
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: But that's what's interesting. There's no census around adoption or

53
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: foster care in Australia, and I don't think people are

54
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: aware of how huge this demographic is. And I'm not

55
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: just talking kids now. I'm talking about adults, adults who've

56
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: been through the system have now grown up. It's a

57
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: huge demographic and I didn't realize how big until I

58
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: started talking about this ten years ago. And when I

59
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: go and do interviews someone and say, oh, my cousin

60
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: or me or that, I had no how big a

61
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: demographic it is.

62
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 2: Well, you're living in New York at the moment, the epicenter. Well,

63
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 2: I guess all of America is feeling the winds have changed,

64
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 2: the winds of fear both ways.

65
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 3: It's just bizarre and I've never seen.

66
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: I don't think everyone because as you know, it's not

67
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,959
Speaker 1: manditud to vote in America, but I think this year

68
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: everyone's voting. There's such immunity, and especially in New York

69
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: it's a big democratic area, but everyone's really pushing step

70
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 1: up and do something. But yeah, this is like, it's

71
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: just bizarre. You know, shops are boarded up, and it's

72
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: quite on the streets, you know, and there's a real anticipation,

73
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: you know. But what you know, we're gonna take the

74
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: positive out of this. I've really seen everyone step up.

75
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: We're no longer just sitting back and oh they've got this.

76
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: The leaders have got this. They haven't, they haven't. And

77
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: you know, I've seen more and more people really advocating

78
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: for change and taking on causes and issues and fighting.

79
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 3: For our rights. Yeah, don't wait for the cab because

80
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 3: you're the cavalry. Yeah, exactly, exactly.

81
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 4: Well that's great. Well, you guys stay safer as long

82
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,560

00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 4: get down there to do some reps.

84
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 3: That would be he just lifts me.

85
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,239
Speaker 4: That's the stuff we want to see on the zoom.

86
