1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: This is gem Nation. We're Jonesy and down to the

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: Jonesy de Man of Arms for the pub test Halloween.

3
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 2: Does it pass the pub test?

4
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,120
Speaker 1: We ask you this, I think every Halloween because more

5
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: and more Australians are accepting it. Less Australians are hating it,

6
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 1: it seems. But the Australian Retailers Association said that they're

7
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: expecting spending to reach four hundred and thirty million dollars,

8
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: so it's a lot of money that goes into the

9
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: economy for Halloween. Not all Australians are happy about it.

10
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: This was a sign that was posted on it. I'll

11
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,480
Speaker 1: have to beep it out. This was a sign put

12
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,520
Speaker 1: on someone's fence. This is Australia, not America. Beep off

13
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: with your Halloween. Aren't your little arm it's the seaweeds.

14
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 1: It's gotten the whole hog for the little kid. I

15
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: would have been that guy once upon a time, but

16
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 1: as I get older and more sentimental, you know, I'm

17
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:50,599
Speaker 1: crying and insurance ads now.

18
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 2: So it's only natural, though.

19
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: Who is it hurting? Who's it hurting? A friend of

20
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: mine never liked two kids do it because she said,

21
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: I don't like my kids going to order door scabbing food.

22
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 2: But I might get some chocks. We've got a bit

23
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 2: of a driveway though, so that's that.

24
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: Might put them off. What if they come by water? Brendan.

25
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: A couple of years ago, I bought a whole lot

26
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: of lollies. No one came and I on island.

27
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 2: Make it sound like on an island? Halloween?

28
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: Does it past the pub test?

29
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 2: First I was thinking that it was just an American holiday,

30
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 2: and I've been learning that it's an actual paying and

31
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 2: keeps enjoying it. So I'm sort of coming around a

32
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 2: bit for Halloween. I've been by costumes, shape blood, wigs

33
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 2: called webs and sweet scalore something I think we could

34
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 2: do without. Oh yeah, I think it does past pub tests,

35
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 2: especially now i've got a little three year old boy

36
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 2: or taking trigger treading. Yes it does, you know, because

37
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: we're encouraging children to go around and talk to strangers,

38
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 2: and it's not an Australian tradition, so leave it in America.

39
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: Oh look, I think it's fun for kids to get

40
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: dressed up and you keep it around the local neighborhood.

41
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 2: It's all right. Oh no, it doesn't. I've got I've

42
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: got young kids. I've had a dragon man every year

43
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 2: for the past cup. Please it really sucks.

44
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: It speaks for all of us in my country. Is

45
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: it a tradition to talk to strangers? But also when

46
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: you say it's not an Australian tradition, which of our

47
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: traditions are Australian traditions we very rarely have, like the

48
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: Easter bunnies and an Australian tradition Christmas with Saint Nick

49
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: and we put snow everywhere? Is that an Australian tradition?

50
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: In drunk on Sir Patrick's Day, that's not an Australia.

51
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 2: The weekend
