1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,160 Speaker 1: Jersey and Amanda jam. 2 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 2: Nation opening schools after hours? Does it pass the pub test? 3 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 2: Implemented under the Julia Gillard's watch a few years ago, 4 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,119 Speaker 2: they built these ginormous fences because schools were just getting 5 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 2: burnt down all the time. Remember every week a school 6 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:16,759 Speaker 2: had burned own. 7 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 3: There was breaking, enter trespass, vandalism incidents. They put these 8 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,960 Speaker 3: big fences up. Chris Min's, the new South Wales Premier, 9 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,280 Speaker 3: has said, this is a significant amount of green space 10 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,640 Speaker 3: that the public have been locked out of and we're 11 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 3: telling kids to get off their mobile phones and to 12 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 3: go outside and play. But with our high density living, 13 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:33,839 Speaker 3: where are those spaces their school? 14 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 2: Where did the children play? As Cat Stephen said, But 15 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 2: when we were kids, I used to love going up 16 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 2: to the school on the skateboard because they had brand 17 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 2: new ash Felt and we'd ride around there. But we 18 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 2: wouldn't go wreck the place. We wouldn't set it on fire. 19 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 2: I once lent a bubbler running by accident that which 20 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 2: I felt guilty. 21 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 3: I remember seeing it on the news. 22 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 2: And you know I might have yeah anyway, Yeah, But we. 23 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 3: Lived near the school oval and that was our entire 24 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 3: sort of hangout zone. That was a time opening schools 25 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 3: after alice. Does it pass the PUB test? 26 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: No, it doesn't. I work in a school and if 27 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: the kids plain to play and there's no supervision, if 28 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,759 Speaker 1: someone gets hurt, the parents will be up in arms 29 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 1: because there's no one out. They're superbot in their kids. 30 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,040 Speaker 4: Though it doesn't. I actually work at a school on 31 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 4: what they call a ga I do all the maintenance 32 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,839 Speaker 4: looking after the school, and they have a thing called 33 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 4: share my Zone which the school's open through the school 34 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,680 Speaker 4: breaks and the kids come in, they rip things out, 35 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 4: ants and that they destroy things. It's not a good idea. 36 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 4: It ends up costing the schools a lot of money. 37 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 5: No, I don't think so. Counsels now do a lot 38 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 5: of work for parks in their areas, So why invite 39 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 5: vandaloosm into the school when the kids can go to 40 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 5: the parks? And plus, how do you change their mobile 41 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 5: phone usage anyway they're doing it. 42 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 6: It passes the PUB. 43 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 4: Test because it's an excellent use. 44 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 6: Of free space out of ours, and handle correctly can 45 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 6: offer employment to someone for the care of those areas, 46 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 6: and it will mean that there's an opportunity also for 47 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 6: the community to maybe grow that little bit closer together 48 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 6: rather than brought themselves apart. 49 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 2: Well, there you go. 50 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: Interesting. 51 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 3: Most people are saying no. They sound like they're not 52 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 3: the kids who are looking for somewhere to go and play. 53 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 2: And there's nothing better than running a skateboard on freshly 54 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 2: laid ashfelt. 55 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 3: Or maybe wet cement.
