Oh, 61 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 4: Deputy Speaker, parliamentary colleagues, friends, family, and everyone who is 62 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 4: here today. 63 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 3: Doctor Sophie Scomps is the new federal member for mckller. 64 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 3: She's one of the new Teal independents who took on 65 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 3: a traditionally conservative seat in the last election and won. 66 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 4: I had people in their eighties and nineties, tell me 67 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 4: that it was the first time in their lives they 68 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 4: had ever voted differently. 69 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: Before she was an MP in Canberra, she was a GP. 70 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 4: So I know firsthanded the importance of meeting our community's 71 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 4: healthcare needs. 72 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 3: And we now know that the first bill that she's 73 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 3: planning to draft for Parliament, a private member's bill, will 74 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 3: beat a band junk food advertising to children to address 75 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 3: what she sees as Australia's obesity epidemic. 76 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 4: Acting now deviate the burden of future chronic disease. Let's 77 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 4: invest in primary healthcare and in prevention. 78 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 2: So zaras she's trying to address, as you said, Australia's 79 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 2: obesity epidemic, can you explain why is advertising to children 80 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 2: the key issue for doctor Scomps. 81 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 3: So Doctor Scomp's highlighted in a post about this piece 82 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 3: of legislation that one in four Ozzie kids are overweight 83 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 3: or obese. And back in March, the Australian Department of 84 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 3: Health released a National Obesity Strategy trying to really bring 85 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 3: down these numbers. We're going to talk about it a 86 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 3: lot today, so let's just call it the NOS. Just 87 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 3: to make things easier for ourself. The NOS set a 88 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 3: goal of reducing the number of overweight children and adolescents 89 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 3: by five percent by twenty thirty, and one of the 90 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 3: ways that they suggested this could be done was addressing 91 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 3: the way that junk food is marketed to kids. 92 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, on reflection, when I think about my childhood, I 93 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,280 Speaker 2: definitely saw so many ads that. Thinking about McDonald's and 94 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 2: their happy Meals. 95 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 3: We both share the same anecdotal experience there. And then 96 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 3: when you look at the numbers, it's quite incredible to 97 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 3: see because, according to the NOS, the average five to 98 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 3: eight year old is exposed to eight hundred and twenty 99 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 3: seven television junk food advertisements in a year. 100 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,239 Speaker 2: Well, if you're exposed to eight hundred and twenty seven 101 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 2: ads a year, that's more than two ads every single day. 102 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 1: It is, and it's not where it stops. 103 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 3: It's not like children are only seeing ads on television 104 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 3: and then not seeing anything anywhere else. Another thing that 105 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 3: the NOS raised was that this extends to things like 106 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 3: the sponsorship of sports teams, So. 107 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: We know that it happens at an elite level. 108 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 3: But something that doctor Scomps has pointed out is that 109 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 3: her own children's sports So I would imagine not Elite 110 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 3: sports have been sponsored by fast food companies, and the 111 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 3: NOS has highlighted this as a powerful promotional tool. They 112 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 3: have said that almost seventy five percent of parents feel 113 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 3: that sports sponsorship influences their children, and sixty nine percent 114 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 3: of children see brand sponsors of their community sporting club 115 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 3: as quote cool. 116 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 2: You saying that just then, Zara has made me think 117 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 2: about whenever I turn on on the very rare occasion 118 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 2: that I turn on the NRL and they're sponsored by 119 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 2: like Cadbury or something, and I'm like, you guys are 120 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 2: literally elite athletes. There is no way that you're chomping 121 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 2: down Cadbury blocks. 122 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like this cognitive dissonance between the fact that 123 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 3: they're elite sports people but they are marketing fast food 124 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 3: or marketing junk food. It's yeah, doesn't really make much sense. 125 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 2: And so how is advertising these products to children currently regulated? 126 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 3: So the federal government does have the power to make 127 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 3: laws about ads, but at the moment, the industry is 128 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 3: allowed to self regulate. 129 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 2: Now. 130 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 3: Doctor Scomps's office has told us that the bill is 131 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 3: still very much in development, but they're proposing something similar 132 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 3: to legislation that passed in the UK last year. So 133 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 3: from twenty twenty four, new rules will ban ads of 134 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 3: foods high in fat, salt and sugar before nine pm 135 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 3: on TV and online. 136 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 2: Okay, so we know what she's proposing to do, but 137 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 2: this is a private member's bill, which essentially means that 138 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 2: it's coming from an independent she's not part of the government. 139 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 2: Do we know if this will get off the ground. 140 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 3: Well, it's always hard to know with these things before 141 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 3: Parliament does sit. But the Nine Papers asked Communications Minister 142 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 3: Michelle Roland about this and she said that while children 143 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 3: quote require additional protection when it comes to advertising, there 144 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 3: was no plan to ditch the current self regulatory approach. 145 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 3: But we also put this to doctor Scomps's office for 146 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 3: comment and she sent us this message. 147 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 4: I think if Boris Johnson can do it, we can 148 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 4: do it too. 149 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 5: He is bought in breast practice in the UK, and 150 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 5: I think there's also a lot of support in the 151 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 5: community as well. We want our children to grow up fit, 152 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 5: healthy and strong, and that's what it comes down to. 153 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 3: I think when we have conversations like this, the natural 154 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 3: next step is to say, well, this is important, but 155 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 3: so is say banning ads on gambling and are we 156 00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 3: making any headway on things like that. That's certainly what 157 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 3: I say or in the comment sections of news outlets 158 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 3: that we're reporting on this, so it's definitely front of 159 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 3: mine for a lot of people, and how this goes, 160 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 3: we'll certainly vode for banning or not banning other advertisements 161 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 3: across TV and radio. 162 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 2: A quick reminder before we go that our podcast survey 163 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 2: is live and the link is in the show notes. 164 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 2: One of my favorite pieces of feedback so far is 165 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 2: that one person said they don't like Sam's jokes and 166 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 2: that's why he's not at work today. 167 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,199 Speaker 3: He is no longer coming back because he was personally 168 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 3: offended by that one. But we have got two more 169 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,959 Speaker 3: hoodies to give away, so get your responses in before 170 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 3: the end of the week. 171 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 2: Thanks for listening, and have a great hump Day.
