00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nation.

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 2: Let's get on down to New Jonesy De matter of

3
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 2: arms for the pub test Today, the big Oussie backyard

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 2: is dead, according to the papers.

5
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:12,319
Speaker 3: Does it pass the pub test?

6
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 4: And do we still need the big Aussie backyard? They're

7
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 4: saying that well, predictably, with our housing crisis and more

8
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,760
Speaker 4: and more people in our city, the dwellings, the size

9
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 4: of the dwelling, if you're in a single standing house

10
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 4: will be the same, but your yard won't be as big.

11
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 4: And more and more of us are moving into semi

12
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 4: detached places, into apartments, into terraces, townhouses. So the big

13
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 4: Ossie backyard may be a thing of the permonua.

14
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 2: Matter the houses, the McMansions as they used to call them.

15
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 2: So now you don't have a get out of town lawnmile.

16
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 2: You've got to get out of town vacuum clean because

17
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 2: the house is so big and it takes up the

18
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 2: whole block.

19
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, but more and more of us are going to

20
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 4: be living in apartments and flats, et cetera. Does it matter?

21
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 4: As I said earlier, I used to think that my

22
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 4: kids needed a big backyard. We didn't have a big backyard.

23
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 4: We live near a park. But as the kids get older,

24
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 4: they would still go to the park if they wanted to,

25
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 4: but they become less but you know, they spend more

26
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 4: time in their bedrooms.

27
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 2: Do you put a swimming pool a cement pond in

28
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 2: the backyard?

29
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 5: You know?

30
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 4: It was hilarious is when we were putting it in

31
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 4: and it was still just that raw, gray concrete unfinished.

32
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 4: It was raining, and the kids sat in there. And

33
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 4: now we have these beautiful sunny days and the only

34
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 4: person that goes in is the dog.

35
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 3: You build a pool the dog.

36
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 4: Does it matter that we're losing the big backyard, the

37
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 4: big Aussie backyard? Does it still pass the pub test?

38
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 5: Yes? I love it. I've got a big backyard. We

39
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 5: played batminton, basketball, play around a backguard all the time.

40
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 5: I could not live in a little backyard or a flat.

41
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. I miss having a big backyard when I was little.

42
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: So awesome. You can enjoy having their swing a swimming pool.

43
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: It was unreal. Oh, we have to continue having a backyard.

44
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: It's just so fabulous. It was just such a great

45
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: space to have your friends over, barbecues and yeah, just

46
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: a time to gather with all the neighbors. I hope

47
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: it doesn't die. They're crazy today. I remember years ago,

48
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: we used to be able to play soccer and football,

49
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: everything in the backyard. Today they can't swing a cat.

50
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 5: I'd like my yard because I don't want to be

51
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 5: able to shake my neighbor's hand from my bedroom window.

52
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 4: I like to keep it anonymous hand.

53
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 3: Who does yeh shake this with you? I've missed. The
