1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: Whimen would he bite sized.

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 2: Most outrageous story I reckon I've heard all year yesterday,

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 2: would Scott Morrison, saying, due to the shortage of forklift drivers,

4
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 2: that children should drive forklifts instead. It was an extraordinary,

5
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 2: extraordinary he later He later retracted that after the Cabinet

6
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 2: told him he was barking mad. But we did have

7
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 2: a girl yesterday who called the show, a girl called

8
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 2: Dakota whose dad was a forklift driver, and she said,

9
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 2: she reckoned she could actually do the job. Your dad

10
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 2: is actually a forklift driver.

11
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean I assume I'm done it times,

12
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,319
Speaker 1: so it's not that hard to coder all. I think

13
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: there was tend a gas on, tend the key and

14
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: film turned the gas on. It's not a freaking barbecue.

15
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: What do you mean you're turned the game now. I

16
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: was embarrassed when she made me look stupid, because.

17
00:00:58,480 --> 00:00:59,959
Speaker 2: It turns out you do need to turn the game

18
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 2: on the drive a forkliff.

19
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 3: He received a lot of d MS about that, and

20
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 3: I thought she was talking about a barbecue.

21
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: I was wrong, and we do have tacuta.

22
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 3: Welcome back to Kota, Dakota, Hi Hi.

23
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: I apologize for doubting you yesterday, Dakota.

24
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, don't worry, don't worry, You're fine.

25
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: Oh, thank you. And then I apologize.

26
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 3: I'm not sure if you heard this or not, but

27
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 3: I may have alluded to the fact that maybe you

28
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 3: don't know how to use a phone.

29
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: Sorry about that. I'm sorry about that, Dakota.

30
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 4: No, I don't worry about it.

31
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,919
Speaker 1: Really, okay, great, I appreciate that forgiveness. This is icy.

32
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 2: Beautiful now that way through that. The other person that's

33
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 2: obviously got some skin in the game here is Dakota's dad, Jeremy,

34
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 2: who actually is a forklift driver, joins us right now.

35
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: Welcome Jeremy to the show.

36
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 4: Welcome all.

37
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 2: Yeah. I love people that welcome themselves. Jeremy, So what

38
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 2: do you think yesterday when your daughter said she could

39
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 2: do your job?

40
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 4: I put it the physical challenge. This morning, I set

41
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 4: her on said forklift wow, and watched her basically drive

42
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 4: like a kitten on a highway.

43
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 3: Who might to teach her lesson, Jeremy, check her on

44
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 3: some very dangerous machinery.

45
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, being irresponsible parent is part of the part

46
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 4: of the game.

47
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: Of course. I can only imagine. I'm not a father myself,

48
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: So look give me. We've got your both on the phone. Now,

49
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: Dakota thinks she can do the job better than you, Jeremy.

50
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 3: So we've got a couple of questions here that forklift

51
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 3: drivers should know.

52
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, I'm intrigued because my knowledge of forklift driving

53
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 4: is pretty pretty basic at the best of times.

54
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 2: As well, it's basic, aren't you a follow You've been

55
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: driving forklifts.

56
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 1: For Jeremy.

57
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 4: Licensed up in about nineteen eighty seven, but.

58
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 2: I still know something about those things.

59
00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 4: Where you got on audo pilot and same in, same out.

60
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: So maybe Skomo was right.

61
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 2: Do you think a sixteen year old could have driven

62
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 2: this the forklift?

63
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 4: Jeremy also much older when I learned how to drive

64
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 4: a forkliff. Yeah, it was about twenty one when I

65
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:16,119
Speaker 4: got my license. So yeah, look, I believe he's kind

66
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 4: of hitting in the right area. But you know, seriously,

67
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 4: how many sixteen year olds want a career in forkliff

68
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 4: driving that.

69
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: Straight to Dakota, last school, ast Toakata. Do you love it, Dakota?

70
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 2: Yeah?

71
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 4: It feels like.

72
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 2: Running around, but not on your feet.

73
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 3: Bloody hell, that is well described. I've never heard it

74
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 3: described so well before, But that's sort of like any car, though,

75
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 3: isn't it. Dakota, You're awesome, all it's great.

76
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 5: You've got to be a wonderful daughter there, Jeremy. All right,

77
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 5: right up nixt we're going to do a four cliff

78
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 5: test between father and daughter. Could Dakota actually do Jeremy's job?

79
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 5: That's the question right now?

80
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 2: Woulds We are talking about the fact yesterday Scomo said

81
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 2: that kids should be driving forklifts instead of the adults,

82
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 2: as a shortage of forklift drivers at the moment. So

83
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 2: we wanted to put that to the test. We asked,

84
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 2: We asked kids out there, do you think they could

85
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 2: do their parents' job.

86
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: Dakota called us.

87
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 2: She's fourteen years old. She said she could do her

88
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 2: dad's job. Jeremy is a forkliff driver, and he joins

89
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 2: us right now, can I Jeremy?

90
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 4: Good afternoon again? How were we all?

91
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 2: Jess? You've been driving forkliff since nineteen eighty seven? Is right?

92
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 4: Yes, that's right. Yeah.

93
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 2: What's the most memorable lift?

94
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 4: A really big one once? So I think it was

95
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 4: on a Tuesday.

96
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: Oh perfect. I feel like I was there, Jeremy. I

97
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 1: feel like I was so Jeremy just I'm curious.

98
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 3: In nineteen eighty seven, what was the license process like

99
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 3: to become a forklift driver.

100
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 4: It was a very ardu affair. It was basically, picked

101
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 4: something up, removed through a ridiculously tight spot, put it

102
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 4: down somewhere, don't hit the instructor, pick up a piece

103
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 4: of paper on the way out.

104
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 2: That's pretty good, can I ask chairs? I mean, and

105
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 2: I'm not a trader. I have been a trader. You

106
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 2: can probably tell. But when you're on like a site,

107
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 2: where do you guys sit on the pecking order? Because

108
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 2: I always thought the guy on the forklift, you know,

109
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,559
Speaker 2: he looks like a bit of an authoritative figure.

110
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 4: I would tend to agree. I'm also the boss here,

111
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 4: so that's andy.

112
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

113
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 4: I get on there and it's everyone scatter. You know,

114
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 4: if you have to know good, I'll find.

115
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: You all right.

116
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 3: So we want to prove, though, if your daughter, Dakota,

117
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 3: who is on the phone as well, Hello Dakota, Dakata

00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 4: Lift sometime in my lifetime?

00:05:54,480 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 3: Holy, your parenting is getting better and better, Jeremy. To

121
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 3: prove though, who knows about forklifts more? Or if Dakota,

122
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 3: you could do the job better than your dad. We

123
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 3: have a quiz here, a forklift license quiz. This is

124
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:17,640

Speaker 1: got question one.

130
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 3: According to Section six' one A of the Transport Authorities

131
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 3: Forklift Guide, a forklift is said to be unattended when

145
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:31,080
