1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,519
Speaker 1: Good morning Daily Oz's team. It is Tuesday, the twenty

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: ninth of June. As always, I am Zara Sideler and

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:10,040
Speaker 1: I'm joined by co founder of the Daly Ods, Samcause.

4
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: Sam talk me through what we're discussing today.

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 2: It was a bad day to be a non COVID

6
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:21,319
Speaker 2: related headline because COVID got all the news yesterday. It

7
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,479
Speaker 2: was incredible how many states had COVID development yesterday. So

8
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 2: we're going to take you through all of them. We're

9
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 2: then going to discuss what happened in Florida, some good

10
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 2: news about a Canadian stadium, and then Zara is going

11
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 2: to take you through I think her favorite report of

12
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 2: the year.

13
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: Would you say, Look, there's not much competition, but I

14
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: will be talking about the Intergenerational report that was handed

15
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: down by the Treasurer yesterday. Let's dive straight in.

16
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 3: So in some breaking news this morning. Late last night,

17
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 3: wa Premier Mark McGowan announced Perth and Peel Regions would

18
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 3: enter a four day lockdown. This is after third COVID

19
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 3: nineteen case was confirmed in the state. McGowan confirmed at

20
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:09,119
Speaker 3: the press conference last night that genomic sequencing had linked

21
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 3: the latest case to the highly contagious delta variant. Perth

22
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 3: now joins US in Sydney and parts of the and

23
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 3: t in a current lockdown.

24
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: You'd be forgiven for thinking it was twenty twenty. With

25
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: the news that we got yesterday, so I'll quickly rattle

26
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: off the stats. New South Wales recorded eighteen new locally

27
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: acquired cases, the Northern Territory recorded one new locally acquired case,

28
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 1: and the Darwin lockdown was extended by seventy two hours.

29
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: Then separately Queensland recorded two locally acquired cases.

30
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 2: It brought in new restrictions.

31
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: Finally, just to get in on the fund, the South

32
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: Australian government introduced mask wearing in some settings despite having

33
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: no locally acquired cases.

34
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 2: On top of all of that, it was the best

35
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 2: New South Wales press conference of the year, with an

36
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 2: incredible story being told by Police Commissioner Nick Fuller. Here's

37
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 2: that story.

38
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 4: Unbelievably, we saw two men sun baking naked on the

39
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 4: beach in the South Coast. They were startled by a

40
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 4: d ran into the National Forest National Park and got lost.

41
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 4: Not only they require assistance from SES and police to

42
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 4: rescue them, they also both received a ticket for one

43
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 4: thousand dollars.

44
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 2: Me and my student groups in Australian universities have accused

45
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 2: the country's Canberra based embassy of intimidation and foreign interference

46
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 2: after a letter was sent to me and my government

47
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 2: scholars in Australia. The letter ordered them to declare that

48
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 2: they do not support the pro democracy movement. Students alleged

49
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 2: they were threatened with punishment if they gave false information

50
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 2: or if they failed to apply to the letter.

51
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: By July seven, the death toll from the partial collapse

52
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: of a twelve story apartment block in Miami. This was

53
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: a horrific story and head to our instagram if you're

54
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: not across it, but the death tolls risen to nine.

55
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: Four of them dead have been identified, while one hundred

56
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: and fifty still remain unaccounted for. Since rescue efforts did begin,

57
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: no one has been rescued alive from the scene, and

58
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: rescue efforts are actually still ongoing with squads of rescuers,

59
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 1: cranes and diggers on site to comb through the wreckage.

60
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 2: And today's good news. Before I jump in, you have

61
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 2: to listen to the beginning of this news report.

62
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 4: Melissa, it looks like there is a concert or a

63
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 4: game happening here at Social baker Rita.

64
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 2: The music is playing, people are.

65
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: Dancing, but it's actually just tron tell me as we.

66
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 4: Need to get a vaccine.

67
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 2: That sounds like a freakin' party, but it's actually a

68
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 2: Toronto stadium that has set the record for the most

69
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 2: COVID nineteen vaccine doses administered in a day for the

70
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 2: entire continent of North America. They hit twenty thousand on

71
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 2: that day and it sounds like there was some pitbull

72
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 2: as well, but there are plans now to hit twenty

73
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 2: five thousand on what is being billed as Toronto Vaccine

74
00:03:54,920 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 2: Day this week. From one really interesting background track of

75
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 2: vaccines to another, have a listen to the opening lines

76
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 2: from Treasurer Josh Friedenberg as he launched the Intergenerational Report

77
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 2: yesterday on social media.

78
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 5: Today, we're releasing the fifth Intergenerational Report, a document that

79
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 5: comes out every five years that highlights key economic and

80
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 5: demographic trends. It's not a prediction of what Australia will be,

81
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 5: but it's an insight into what Australia could be over

82
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 5: the next forty years.

83
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 2: So what the Treasurer was referring to there was the

84
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 2: Intergenerational Report, a report that's usually released every five years,

85
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 2: but it's actually been six years since the last one.

86
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 2: They delayed last years because of COVID nineteen Zara. What

87
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 2: does the Intergenerational Report aim to capture?

88
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: So it's a little funny report, this one, because firstly,

89
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 1: the last time it was released, I was still at school,

90
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: so I can't say I'm overly familiar with it, but

91
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 1: we've certainly become well acquainted in the last forty eight hours.

92
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: And this report is produced by the Australian government, as

93
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: you said, every five years, and it assesses the long

94
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 1: term sustainability of government policies. I think that is such

95
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: a good reason to publish a report because we often

96
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 1: hear about the short term implications about what the government does,

97
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: but it's not often we think thirty forty fifty years

98
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: into the future. And as a young person, I think

99
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: it's really important.

100
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 2: And what were some of the big learnings from the report?

101
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 2: What should we be worried about, and similarly, what should

102
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 2: we actually be hopeful for.

103
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: I'll be honest, there was quite a bit of government

104
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: spin to get through. So in my previous life worked

105
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: in government relations, so I was also familiar with the

106
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: language that was used to disguise some not so nice

107
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: facts about our future as young people. But the things

108
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 1: that stuck out to me were that, a, they are

109
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: expecting a massive drop in fertility rates, and we know

110
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: that that's because of a number of reasons, including that

111
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 1: young women are hesitant to start families given a state

112
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: of the environment and climate change. And it's also that

113
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: for some women there is inadequate childcare available and not

114
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: enough government action in this space. So a drop in

115
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: fertility was the first big takeaway. The second was that

116
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: we're expecting to see the population age quite dramatically, and

117
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: what that means is that we have a lot of

118
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 1: people over the age of sixty five in the future,

119
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 1: and not a lot of people in the workforce, so

120
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: those that are deemed at working age. And what we

121
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: know about that is that it means a smaller economy

122
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: will be tasked with managing the burden of a rapidly

123
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: aging population. So we'll be financing broader aged care policies

124
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: and pensions and all that type of thing, and perhaps

125
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 1: not resourcing the younger generation. I will stop ranting after

126
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: my third point that I gleaned from this report, which

127
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: was that there was a whole section dedicated to climate change.

128
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: But as I refer too earlier, it was quite a

129
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: bit of spin to get through in that report. It

130
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: did signal that the government is aiming to reach net zero.

131
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: It didn't give an indication of when the government is

132
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: aiming to reach net zero, but said something to the

133
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: effect of as soon as possible. So there wasn't really

134
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: anything new there except an acknowledgment by the government that

135
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: climate change will impact future generations.

136
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 2: And when this type of report is tabled and we

137
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 2: all spend time processing it and understanding the information, does

138
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 2: it go to forming policy for government or is it

139
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 2: somewhat disregarded.

140
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: I mean, the hope is that it does. The hope

141
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: is that the government can see what the eventual outcome is.

142
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: And Josh Freidenberg's made a big point yesterday of saying

143
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: this isn't fixed. You know, this isn't a foregone conclusion.

144
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: There are lots of things that could change before then.

145
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: But what we hope is that, especially for young people,

146
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: the government works to activate certain policy leaders that they have,

147
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: you know, childcare and climate change and all that stuff

148
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: I mentioned before, so that it isn't a foregone conclusion,

149
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: so that it does look a bit brighter for young

150
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: people in the future, but there is certainly no mandatory

151
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: obligation for the government to act on this at all.

152
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 2: Super interesting report and it is really interesting to think

153
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 2: how much will change when the next report is released

154
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 2: in five years time. We will definitely still be doing

155
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 2: the podcast then, because we're here every day. It's in

156
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 2: the name the Daily OS. I thought we'd try something

157
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 2: a bit different today. If you're one of the first

158
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 2: five people to put where you're listening to this podcast

159
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,240
