1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:03,280
Speaker 1: And Amanda Jamnation.

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 2: Australian parents are among the most risk averse in the world.

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 2: Deacon University researchers have found Australian parents are the most

4
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 2: risk averse in the world, surpassing New Zealand, Canada and

5
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 2: the UK, with their own fears of injury affecting the

6
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 2: activities they let their kids partake in.

7
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 1: So the helicopter parent has really taken off.

8
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 3: Ironically, we wouldn't let our children go up in a helicopter,

9
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 3: then helicopter parents, don't it kid's going to be a helicopter.

10
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 3: You know what I blame for a lot of this.

11
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 3: You know, when Lee Sales came in here and we were.

12
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: Talking about you're blaming Lee Sales, but how she's.

13
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 3: Written a book about storytellers and some of the big

14
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 3: people in the media and how they tell their stories

15
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 3: and how they cope with telling hard stories as newsreaders,

16
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 3: and she said, was it Tracy Grimshaw had said to her,

17
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 3: you have to remember that it's news because it's unusual.

18
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 3: So statistically, we see this all the time on our socials.

19
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 3: We see these unfiltered moments and think that they happen

20
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 3: all the time. Every time a child is injured. We

21
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 3: see it every time a kid gets run over in

22
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 3: a driveway. That's on our news. Every time a parent

23
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 3: gets out of the car to fill the car with

24
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 3: petrol and the cargets carjacked, that's on the news. So

25
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 3: we now have no sense that this stuff is unusual,

26
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 3: and it's really played with us.

27
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 2: It's made us fearful, it has we're hyper vigil and

28
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 2: all the time.

29
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: Is that a good thing or a bad No.

30
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 3: It's bad.

31
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: It's a bad thing.

32
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,279
Speaker 3: It gives us anxiety, and it stops our children taking

33
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 3: necessary risks which they need to develop so they can

34
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:29,559
Speaker 3: become human.

35
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 2: And this is what the people are digging University is

36
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 2: saying the kids are getting rickets because they're not moving around.

37
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 3: And really did they actually say that a power of rickets?

38
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 2: I just like saying rickets, like saying scurvy.

39
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: You don't like saying rickets.

40
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 2: But do you know what I mean, Big Captain cookouativity,

41
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 2: that's what's happening with the kids these.

42
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 3: Days, and fear we're instilling. No wonder, every child these

43
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,559
Speaker 3: days seems to have anxiety because we don't let life

44
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 3: just happen anymore.

45
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: And I don't know, like generation X.

46
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 2: I look at my generation, we have the ear of

47
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 2: the firecracker night blow and fingers off and riding around

48
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 2: in the back of utes.

49
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 3: Because of my friend, we don't have Firecracker KNIGHTE George,

50
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 3: get around there.

51
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 2: That's right.

52
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 3: Friend of mine was having a party when he was

53
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 3: just a probably a teenager his house, a young team.

54
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 1: He melted his feet off.

55
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, okay, why don't you tell the story?

56
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: No, we know the story. How's it going? He melted

57
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: his feet off.

58
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 3: Well, a little kid came running in and threw a

59
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 3: lit sparkler into a box of firecrackers inside the house.

60
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 3: George picked up the box and carried it outside. Next thing,

61
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 3: he wakes up in hospital, and then he was so

62
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 3: disappointed that that was the end of Firecracker Knight. He's

63
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 3: watching the news a year later, and I said, it

64
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 3: was in this house here that there was an accident

65
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 3: last year that's ended firecrack andknite, and there was a

66
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 3: journalist outside his house. He was more depressed than most

67
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 3: people that there was no longer firecracker knife.

68
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 2: And it's probably a good thing that Firecracker Knight's not

69
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 2: around anymore, because you look at the stories in America.

70
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: You know what's more dangerous their guns or their firecrackers.

71
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: I can't tell. The liner's blurred.

72
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 2: I do always have a moment whenever you hear about

73
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 2: helicopter parents.

74
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: Is a great moment of suburbia.

75
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 2: Dad's burning off a pile of leaf eaves in the gutter,

76
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 2: remember the old days.

77
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: Out of aile.

78
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 3: We have a home incinerator and me next door a.

79
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 2: Big lou He used to have an old HQ holding

80
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 2: one ton of yute, you know what, like there's a

81
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 2: ute with the sides. The one ton of just had

82
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 2: the flat bit at the back and he was taking

83
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 2: a load of timber and probably asbestos off to the tip.

84
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: And we said, hey, Luke, can we come? Yeah?

85
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 2: Sure, boys. We are piled onto the back of the

86
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 2: ute more or less to hold the stuff down. And

87
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 2: my sister there's no sides on this year, no sides

88
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 2: on this year. My sister's five five years of age.

89
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 2: I'm ten years on my sister, so I'm fifteen. And

90
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 2: as we're driving down the road, the dad looks up.

91
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 2: My dad looks up and goes, mate, make sure your

92
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 2: sister doesn't fall off the ute, mate, And then we

93
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 2: drive off to the tip which was a good fifteen

94
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 2: case away.

95
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 3: You bring your baby home from the hospital and they

96
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 3: be in a basket on the past at the back bread.

97
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying the good old days.

98
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 2: We all survived it. We made it because clearly dry

99
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 2: Some didn't, some didn't, many many love back of youats,
