WEBVTT - TDA talks to Australia's youngest ever Senator

0:00:00.520 --> 0:00:03.720
<v Speaker 1>Already and this is this is the DAILYA, this is.

0:00:03.680 --> 0:00:15.440
<v Speaker 2>The Daily oas Oh, now it makes sense. Good morning

0:00:15.440 --> 0:00:17.840
<v Speaker 2>and welcome to the Daily Ours. It's Wednesday, the twenty

0:00:17.840 --> 0:00:19.919
<v Speaker 2>seventh of August. I'm Harry Sekulich.

0:00:20.120 --> 0:00:21.079
<v Speaker 3>I'm Lucy Tassel.

0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:25.520
<v Speaker 2>Charlotte Walker is Australia's youngest senator and the youngest woman

0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:28.880
<v Speaker 2>ever elected to the Federal Parliament. On election night, she

0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:32.840
<v Speaker 2>celebrated her win and her twenty first birthday. This week,

0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:36.120
<v Speaker 2>she gave her first official speech to Parliament, reflecting on

0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:41.200
<v Speaker 2>her labor activism, personal health struggles and her politically minded family,

0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:44.519
<v Speaker 2>which all paved her path to Canberra. I spoke to

0:00:44.600 --> 0:00:47.440
<v Speaker 2>Charlotte Walker about what drove her to get into politics,

0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:50.160
<v Speaker 2>what she wants to see change in Australia, and how

0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:53.400
<v Speaker 2>young people can get more involved. But before we get

0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:58.720
<v Speaker 2>into it, he's a quick word from our sponsor, Harry.

0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:00.480
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what you were doing when you were

0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:02.840
<v Speaker 3>twenty one. I can tell you I was not getting

0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:04.600
<v Speaker 3>elected to parliament.

0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:09.120
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't running either, Lucy. So I think Charlotte is

0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:11.560
<v Speaker 2>probably blazing the trail for a lot of people.

0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:14.839
<v Speaker 3>Possibly the most impressive twenty one year old in the country.

0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:17.840
<v Speaker 3>Other than her astonishing run for parliament, what else can

0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:18.720
<v Speaker 3>you tell us about her?

0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:21.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, up until Monday night, we knew that Walker was

0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:24.920
<v Speaker 2>the youngest senator ever elected. That's when she gave what's

0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:27.720
<v Speaker 2>known as the first speech. And it might not be

0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:31.280
<v Speaker 2>the actual time an MP or a senator actually speaks

0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:33.919
<v Speaker 2>in the Parliament, but it's when they give a formal

0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:37.920
<v Speaker 2>declaration that they announce who they are and where they

0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:41.320
<v Speaker 2>come from. From Walker's speech, we learned quite a bit

0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:44.400
<v Speaker 2>about her. She grew up in the regions of South Australia.

0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:47.320
<v Speaker 2>She spoke about the influence of her grandparents, who were

0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:50.120
<v Speaker 2>card carrying members of the Labor Party. So just so

0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:52.880
<v Speaker 2>happens that she goes on to get elected as a

0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:56.400
<v Speaker 2>Labor Senator runs in the family totally. And she gave

0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:57.960
<v Speaker 2>a shout out to her uncle and I thought this

0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:01.680
<v Speaker 2>was really interesting because he's a union organizer, and she

0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:05.800
<v Speaker 2>joked that unlike many other people, she actually enjoys a

0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:09.120
<v Speaker 2>political chat with her uncle around Christmas time, which was

0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:13.360
<v Speaker 2>good for you know, quite amusing and quite unusual. Actually. Yeah,

0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:16.560
<v Speaker 2>we also learned that she was diagnosed with a genetic

0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:20.240
<v Speaker 2>heart condition recently and She also opened up about finding

0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:24.440
<v Speaker 2>out she had depression after navigating her parents' divorce and

0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:28.160
<v Speaker 2>bullying in primary school, which actually led to her moving

0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:30.760
<v Speaker 2>schools when she was in year four. In the very

0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.520
<v Speaker 2>few years since she's left high school, and there's only

0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:37.560
<v Speaker 2>been three, she's worked for the Australian Services Union and

0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:41.160
<v Speaker 2>in the state's parliament in South Australia. She also became

0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:44.760
<v Speaker 2>the state president of Young Labor, which all led to

0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:47.679
<v Speaker 2>her getting chosen as a candidate for the Senate at

0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:50.640
<v Speaker 2>this year's election. And it was in a tricky spot

0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:53.600
<v Speaker 2>as well. It's fairly rare for a party to win

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:56.760
<v Speaker 2>third place on the Senate ticket, but she pulled it off.

0:02:56.880 --> 0:02:59.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah wow, Well, I mean part of that huge landslide

0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:03.600
<v Speaker 3>towards Labor that we saw at this election. You've mentioned

0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:06.919
<v Speaker 3>that she's very young for the parliament. Is she the

0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:10.600
<v Speaker 3>youngest ever MP? Like overall or just in the Senate.

0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:13.119
<v Speaker 2>She's the youngest woman ever elected to the federal Parliament,

0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:16.359
<v Speaker 2>but the title for the youngest ever MP or senator

0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:19.560
<v Speaker 2>still remains in the hands of White Roy. How yes,

0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:22.560
<v Speaker 2>he was twenty years old when he won the Queensland

0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:25.960
<v Speaker 2>seat of Longmen for the Liberal Party in twenty ten. Yes,

0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:28.520
<v Speaker 2>it's also worth mentioning that Roy was in the House

0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:32.040
<v Speaker 2>of Representatives, which is the lower house, and Charlotte Walker

0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:35.440
<v Speaker 2>was elected to the Senate, which is the upper house,

0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:38.360
<v Speaker 2>the Red Chamber. It's got all sorts of nicknames. So

0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:41.960
<v Speaker 2>she's made history as the youngest woman, the youngest senator,

0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:44.760
<v Speaker 2>and I was really keen to talk to her about

0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:48.240
<v Speaker 2>her path to politics and how she thinks young people

0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:52.240
<v Speaker 2>should get more involved because we hear about the concerns

0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:55.480
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to young people switching off from democracy

0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:58.960
<v Speaker 2>and politics altogether. So with that in mind, here's our

0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:02.240
<v Speaker 2>chat Walker. Thank you so much for joining the Daily Odds.

0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:03.160
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for having me.

0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:06.160
<v Speaker 2>So I just want to start on election night. We

0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:09.480
<v Speaker 2>know that you were celebrating your twenty first birthday and

0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:11.880
<v Speaker 2>the results also showed that you were likely to be

0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:16.200
<v Speaker 2>elected as a Labor Senator for South Australia. Take me

0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:19.160
<v Speaker 2>back to that night, described that whole experience, because there

0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:20.760
<v Speaker 2>was obviously a lot going on.

0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:23.839
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So, look, it had been a big day, being

0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:24.640
<v Speaker 1>election day.

0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:27.240
<v Speaker 4>I'd spent the whole day out on a polling booth

0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:29.960
<v Speaker 4>talking to voters, so I made sure that I spent

0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:32.360
<v Speaker 4>some time with my family and friends the day before,

0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:36.039
<v Speaker 4>and then from there we went to the boothby election party,

0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:38.800
<v Speaker 4>which was a great night of celebrating with lots of

0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:42.400
<v Speaker 4>our amazing volunteers and yeah, then the results sort of

0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:45.400
<v Speaker 4>started slowly rolling in that it was a great night.

0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:48.120
<v Speaker 4>We had some great results. So yeah, there's truly no

0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:50.720
<v Speaker 4>other way I would have wanted to celebrate my birthday.

0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:52.760
<v Speaker 4>I don't think there's a better present than that.

0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:55.839
<v Speaker 2>Did they put on a cake for you or anything?

0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:56.680
<v Speaker 2>Or there was?

0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:59.440
<v Speaker 1>There was, so it was organized without me knowing.

0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:02.800
<v Speaker 4>Some of the people in the party had organized a

0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:05.200
<v Speaker 4>couple of cakes and brought them out into the night,

0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:07.320
<v Speaker 4>which was really nice. Everyone got to have a peace

0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:10.200
<v Speaker 4>during the celebration, so it was a really lovely surprise.

0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:14.120
<v Speaker 2>I want to rewind back to some of your earliest

0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:17.440
<v Speaker 2>memories of being exposed to politics and what sort of

0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:21.000
<v Speaker 2>sparked your interest. Was it conversations around the dinner table.

0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:23.839
<v Speaker 2>Was it at school, like what some of your earlier

0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:24.599
<v Speaker 2>memories there.

0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:25.920
<v Speaker 1>I guess sort of growing up.

0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:29.200
<v Speaker 4>You know, my direct relatives weren't members of the party,

0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:31.480
<v Speaker 4>but we did sort of talk about issues of the

0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:33.840
<v Speaker 4>day around the dinner table and it was a really

0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:36.760
<v Speaker 4>safe place for me to express my opinion and speak

0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:37.720
<v Speaker 4>up when I.

0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:41.279
<v Speaker 1>Had a particular view. It really came when I was

0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:43.320
<v Speaker 1>eighteen when I had to decide who I was going

0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:43.960
<v Speaker 1>to vote for.

0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:47.039
<v Speaker 4>My family had Labor values, but you know, there was

0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:50.400
<v Speaker 4>no obligation to vote Labor, and I did some research

0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:51.320
<v Speaker 4>and I decided that.

0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:53.480
<v Speaker 1>I really really liked Labour's policies.

0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:55.640
<v Speaker 4>And then sort of further from that, I decided that

0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:58.280
<v Speaker 4>I was going to get out there and volunteer for them.

0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:00.719
<v Speaker 4>My parents and family had done a little bit of

0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:03.479
<v Speaker 4>volunteering for the party, and you know, I was really

0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:05.960
<v Speaker 4>passionate about that policy and I wanted to get out

0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:08.880
<v Speaker 4>there and talk to voters about it. So got involved

0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:12.719
<v Speaker 4>with the party from the last federal election twenty twenty two,

0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:14.760
<v Speaker 4>and then sort of from there, just got more and

0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:16.680
<v Speaker 4>more involved from there and here I am today.

0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:19.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so we know that it can take a bit

0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:22.239
<v Speaker 2>of time for the count to be finalized. You don't

0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:25.440
<v Speaker 2>immediately know on election night that you will be a

0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:28.560
<v Speaker 2>Senator for South Australia that you've won the election because

0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:31.200
<v Speaker 2>there's a quota system. And we could do a whole

0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:35.520
<v Speaker 2>podcast explaining what that is, But describe that moment when

0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:38.480
<v Speaker 2>you first realized I'm actually going to be a senator,

0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:42.560
<v Speaker 2>because the AAC count can take some time, but describe

0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:44.839
<v Speaker 2>when you actually knew you were going to parliament.

0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:47.680
<v Speaker 4>It was about three weeks after the election when the

0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:52.159
<v Speaker 4>declaration was finally done and the preferences were distributed. That's

0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:54.240
<v Speaker 4>sort of when I found out. So, you know, we

0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:56.159
<v Speaker 4>were hopeful, but you don't want to get ahead of

0:06:56.160 --> 0:07:00.000
<v Speaker 4>yourself with that type of thing, so we just remained positive.

0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:02.680
<v Speaker 1>It was about it was, yeah, nearly near the end of.

0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:06.800
<v Speaker 4>May, the declaration was made and it was just an

0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:10.840
<v Speaker 4>absolute well wind got very quickly into doing some media interviews.

0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:13.520
<v Speaker 4>I got to go to the declaration event and had,

0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:15.680
<v Speaker 4>you know, my family and friends come and I got

0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:19.040
<v Speaker 4>to speak and thank all of them. So yeah, it

0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:21.040
<v Speaker 4>was sort of sort of up from there. But yeah,

0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.240
<v Speaker 4>I think it took a couple of weeks, which the

0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:25.760
<v Speaker 4>suspense was you know, it kind of killed me, but

0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:28.760
<v Speaker 4>you know, we have a voting system that works that way,

0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:30.160
<v Speaker 4>so you've just got to wait it out.

0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:34.520
<v Speaker 2>You've posted this video ranking online insults directed at you,

0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:38.520
<v Speaker 2>which is a fairly direct way to respond. We know

0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:42.800
<v Speaker 2>that young people are also turning away from getting politically

0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:46.080
<v Speaker 2>active and getting more involved. Do you think that online

0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:50.920
<v Speaker 2>commentary like you've received could be contributing to people young

0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:54.360
<v Speaker 2>people in particular, driving away from parliament women in particular.

0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:57.720
<v Speaker 1>Look, I think I think there's a few layers to that.

0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:00.280
<v Speaker 4>I think, and I know all of my colleagues would

0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:02.680
<v Speaker 4>say the same thing, sort of regardless of your age,

0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:05.720
<v Speaker 4>or your background, or what political party you're in. You know,

0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:08.240
<v Speaker 4>being a politician, you get a lot of feedback, You

0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:10.920
<v Speaker 4>get lots of great lots of great feedback, and then

0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:13.000
<v Speaker 4>there's always going to be the negativity.

0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:15.120
<v Speaker 1>That's sort of part of the job. You know.

0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:18.240
<v Speaker 4>Some of the comments directed towards me have you know,

0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:21.800
<v Speaker 4>they have been misogynistic, and I don't condone those comments

0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:25.120
<v Speaker 4>at all. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but sort

0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:27.960
<v Speaker 4>of from there, the reason that I did the videos

0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:30.240
<v Speaker 4>because I wanted to show other young people.

0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:31.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, when you.

0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:34.320
<v Speaker 4>Get into politics, there is hate, but you can't you

0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:36.120
<v Speaker 4>can't let it get you down and you can't let

0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:38.920
<v Speaker 4>it define you. Because there are other people out there

0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:42.760
<v Speaker 4>that don't believe that young people should be elected officials

0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:45.320
<v Speaker 4>like me, and I've wanted to show the young people

0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:47.880
<v Speaker 4>that if you did do this, like, yeah, there is

0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:50.280
<v Speaker 4>going to be hate, but you can you can get

0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:53.200
<v Speaker 4>through it. You can ignore that type of commentary. But

0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:56.440
<v Speaker 4>I was just trying to bring a bit of light to,

0:08:56.800 --> 0:08:59.360
<v Speaker 4>you know, some commentary that hasn't been great.

0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:01.160
<v Speaker 1>I also think.

0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:03.319
<v Speaker 4>Though, that you know, the media will show you that

0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:05.560
<v Speaker 4>there will be a lot of negativity, but then you

0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:08.959
<v Speaker 4>know there's less attention on the positivity, and there has

0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:10.320
<v Speaker 4>genuinely been a lot.

0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:11.480
<v Speaker 1>Of positivity from people.

0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:13.760
<v Speaker 4>Often I get to meet lots of young people and

0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:16.840
<v Speaker 4>older people at events, and when people coming up to me,

0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:21.120
<v Speaker 4>it's genuinely very positive. So I think that's just the

0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:22.959
<v Speaker 4>type of stuff you get online.

0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:25.440
<v Speaker 2>What do you think is the best way to get

0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:28.960
<v Speaker 2>more young people interested in politics, because we know that

0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:31.920
<v Speaker 2>can be the first barrier, just getting people to care.

0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:35.880
<v Speaker 4>I think it's interesting. I think young people at the

0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:38.720
<v Speaker 4>moment are really engaged. I think we're seeing young people

0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:41.920
<v Speaker 4>engage in politics more than they have before, which is

0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:42.840
<v Speaker 4>really exciting.

0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:44.760
<v Speaker 1>I know something that I try.

0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:46.959
<v Speaker 4>And do when I'm wanting to get policy across to

0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:49.920
<v Speaker 4>young people is try and meet them where they are

0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:53.000
<v Speaker 4>the type of content that's going to appeal to someone

0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:55.960
<v Speaker 4>a little bit older might not appeal to a younger person,

0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:59.160
<v Speaker 4>so you'll probably see what I do. I try and

0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:02.400
<v Speaker 4>replicate t because it's about meeting young people where they

0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:06.000
<v Speaker 4>are and really about you know, getting onto their algorithm

0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:08.720
<v Speaker 4>so that you know through all the memes and that

0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:08.600
<v Speaker 4>they are.

0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:10.480
<v Speaker 1>Seeing a little bit of policy.

0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:14.000
<v Speaker 4>But I do think there's commentary around young people that

0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:18.520
<v Speaker 4>they're disengaged, they're unorganized, they're lazy, but they're not a

0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:21.720
<v Speaker 4>lot of young people are really, really, really passionate. Certainly,

0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:23.760
<v Speaker 4>I hear from a lot of young people that are

0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:26.800
<v Speaker 4>really passionate about politics, and they're really excited to see

0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:28.559
<v Speaker 4>someone their own age in the Parliament.

0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:30.360
<v Speaker 2>I was going to say, do you want some of

0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:33.280
<v Speaker 2>these people to get into the parliament with you? Do

0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:36.520
<v Speaker 2>you want to see more young people represented in federal Parliament?

0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:40.319
<v Speaker 4>With the class of twenty twenty five, I'm the youngest,

0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:44.480
<v Speaker 4>but we do have a lot of newer politicians that

0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:47.880
<v Speaker 4>are in their early thirties. So that's certainly, you know,

0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:50.480
<v Speaker 4>younger than what we've seen previously. So you can see

0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:53.239
<v Speaker 4>when you look at our caucus and at the Parliament

0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:55.400
<v Speaker 4>that progress is being made.

0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:57.680
<v Speaker 1>But I just want to. I want to continue to

0:10:57.679 --> 0:10:58.000
<v Speaker 1>see that.

0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:00.880
<v Speaker 4>I'd love to see that meeting a you know, come

0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:01.679
<v Speaker 4>down a little bit.

0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:05.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you've already made history. That's very much clear. But

0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:07.800
<v Speaker 2>what else do you want to be remembered for.

0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:10.959
<v Speaker 4>I touched on this in my first speech a little

0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:15.560
<v Speaker 4>bit last night, talking about domestic violence prevention. I think

0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:18.480
<v Speaker 4>it's no secret that we've got a problem in Australia.

0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:21.079
<v Speaker 4>We clearly need to change the attitudes. We need to

0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:24.600
<v Speaker 4>be having conversations about, you know, what type of comments

0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:27.600
<v Speaker 4>we're making towards women, what sort of attitudes we're seeing

0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:30.680
<v Speaker 4>portrayed in the community, because I think we have a problem.

0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:33.280
<v Speaker 4>You know, there's already been some big investments into you know,

0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:37.720
<v Speaker 4>like crisis services, emergency accommodation, things like that. That's one

0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:40.440
<v Speaker 4>part of it, but funding isn't going to fix the

0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:43.280
<v Speaker 4>problem totally. The other thing that we need to do

0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:47.120
<v Speaker 4>is be having conversations about, you know, what behavior is

0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:50.240
<v Speaker 4>appropriate towards women and people generally, because you know, that

0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:52.400
<v Speaker 4>sort of can be where it begins sometimes.

0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:55.040
<v Speaker 2>Senator Charlotte Orcatt, thank you so much for joining the

0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:57.760
