31
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 2: We love it.

32
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 1: Let's take a look around the grounds.

33
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 3: In soccer, the Matilda's played Game two in Newcastle in

34
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 3: front of twenty thousand fans last Tuesday night, and strike

35
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 3: a Kaya Simon restored some pride for the Matilda's with.

36
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 2: The last gas equalizer.

37
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 3: She obviously missed a sitter in Game one versus the USA,

38
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 3: but redeemed herself in the eighty eighth minute with a

39
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 3: goal that canceled out Ashley hut hatches fourth minute strike

40
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 3: once again. The Matilda's conceded early in a bit of

41
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 3: a rocky start against the world champions, and we're fortunate

42
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 3: to get that one all result in the end. Gustafson

43
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 3: their head coach has been kind of tinkering with the

44
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 3: defense and question marks kind of still remain teenager Corney

45
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 3: Nevan did look a lot more composed alongside the experience

46
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 3: Steph Catley, who was playing out a position at center

47
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 3: back on Tuesday. The Matildas have won just three of

48
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 3: Tony Gustaff's and sixteen matches whilst he's been in charge.

49
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 3: He's kind of treating the Friendly series as a dress

50
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 3: rehearsal for the twenty twenty three World Cup on home turf,

51
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 3: but also it was the final rehearsal again ahead of

52
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 3: January's Asian Cup that's going to be held in India,

53
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 3: and the Matilda's will be looking to build on their

54
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 3: performances from twenty twenty one and bring home a trophy

55
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 3: before the World Cup.

56
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it'd be an interesting one. I don't

57
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: think his performance as a coach has been overly analyzed. Obviously,

58
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: he was new coming in and I think because people

59
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: have seen improvements from the Machielders, it's almost like people

60
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: are happy to rest on that. But when you look

61
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: at those stats that you've just shed, like three out

62
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 1: of sixteen is a pretty bad win loss record. Yeah,

63
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: it's been interesting, but Football Australia have gotten behind him

64
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: and said, look like ultimately they don't care about winning friendlies.

65
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,839
Speaker 1: They want to win at the big moments, obviously World Cup,

66
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: Asian Cup.

67
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 2: They'll be interesting to see how they lead into that.

68
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 2: He'll be really interesting to see how they go.

69
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: Still on soccer in the A League, Round one kicked

70
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: off last Friday night and the match between Camber United

71
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: and Melbourne City saw the return of Hodgkins lymphoma survivor

72
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: Rebecca Stott. So Dody made her return to the professional

73
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: football pitch after three hundred and forty eight days away

74
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: following her battle with cancer. She added sixty minutes to

75
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: her name in Melbourne City's one Neil win. It was

76
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: an emotional night for Scott, who also became the outright

77
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: all time women's appearance leader for Melbourne City. I think

78
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: she had sixty three matches under her belt. Wow. She

79
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: was pretty emotional at the end of the game and

80
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: just talked about how happy she was to be back

81
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: on the field, happy and healthy again. She said, It's

82
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: been a really hard journey for me to get to

83
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: where I am now. I'm finally at a point where

84
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: I can play a decent amount of time. I'm just

85
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: looking to build on that and really take care of

86
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: my body. Huge effort from study or a legend. Also

87
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: on opening night, we talked last week about Wellington Phoenix,

88
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,239
Speaker 1: how they were newcomers to the competition who unfortunately didn't

89
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: have a major sponsor, but they put in a pretty

90
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: impressive performance to battle out a nil all draw with

91
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: the Western Sydney Wanderers. They had eight eighteen year olds

92
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: in their starting side Phoenix now, so pretty impressive to

93
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: start the season like that and hopefully they'll keep building

94
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: and hopefully won't be without a sponsor for too much longer.

95
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 3: In general Sport News, tennis legend Avonne Goolagong Cawley has

96
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 3: been honored at the annual Sport Australia Hall of Fame Awards,

97
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 3: having been named the winner of the inaugural The Dawn Award.

98
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 3: So the award is named afterus whom in Great Dawn

99
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 3: Fraser legend and recognized as a courageous groundbreaker who has

100
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 3: demonstrated the chief against the odds and challenge the status quo.

101
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 3: Yvonne absolutely embodies this award completely well.

102
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 2: No One. Ash Bardy praised her.

103
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 3: She's been obviously a big mentor in her rise to

104
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 3: the top of the tennis world and an inspiration for

105
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 3: her triumphant Wimbledon campaign. Yeah, Barty was saying, you know,

106
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 3: she stated Avonna was an incredible athlete, but more than that,

107
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 3: she has been an enormous inspiration to generations of Australia

108
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 3: and to me as a mental ender friend. I cannot

109
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 3: think of anyone else more deserving of winning the inaugural

110
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 3: Dawn Award.

111
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: In afl W. The twenty twenty two fixture has been released.

112
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: We're going to see Sint Kilda and Richmond kick off

113
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: the season at Frankston Oval and Friday the seventh of January. Look,

114
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: I'm going to put it out there that wouldn't have

115
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,679
Speaker 1: been my pick for the starting match of the season,

116
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: but the AFLW have come out and said because it's

117
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 1: in Frankston, it's in peak holiday time January seventh, so

118
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: lots of people are going to be on holidays down

119
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 1: in the Mornington Peninsula, so hopefully lots of families get

120
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: down to watch the opening game of the season. And

121
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: then we've seen so we've seen it being pushed back

122
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: from December two January. It's going to be a pretty

123
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 1: competitive time looking at the Australian sporting landscape. So we're

124
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: going to have the Australian Open, We're going to have

125
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: the a Leagues men and women. We're going to have

126
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: the WNBL, We're going to have the Ashes Series for

127
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: the men and the women. There's a fair bit going

128
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: on going on. It's pretty It's going to be interesting

129
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: to see how it competes in terms of live audiences

130
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: and broadcast numbers. But I think the way that this,

131
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: I guess the competition as a whole, has continue to grow.

132
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 1: I'm really looking forward to seeing how it go. Guys. Guys.

133
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: There's a lot of discussions taking place around the new CBA,

134
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,559
Speaker 1: so I think the current CBA will run for another

135
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: year and then there'll be a new collective bargaining agreement

136
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: that will kick off in twenty twenty three. A major

137
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: issue that's been discussed in that area is going to

138
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: be the length of the season. So the current length

139
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: will be ten games plus three games of finals, but

140
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: we're going to see next year the competition is going

141
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 1: to expand to include all eighteen clubs in twenty twenty three,

142
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: which is a pretty big, pretty big jump. I think

143
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: as a playing group, a lot of people have voiced

144
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: the fact that we want to be playing every team

145
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: once in the competition. That's kind of the end goal.

146
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: When asked about it, the head of AFLW Nicole Livingston,

147
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: has talked about I guess this full time nature as well.

148
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: That's something that's something the players have been really vocal about,

149
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: and she said her language is more around year round

150
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: rather than full time. So from what it looks like,

151
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: the AFL probably going to look to expand rather than

152
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: the current six month contracts, trying and expand to more

153
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: twelve month contracts before making that progression from part time

154
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: to full time. The Mighty Giants Up the Giants. We're

155
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: going to play round one Sunday in the ninth of January.

156
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: We're heading up to what's it called the Great Barrier

157
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: reef Areena. I seriously, I think I had a dream

158
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: and maybe thought it was real life, that it was

159
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: going to be a floating.

160
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 2: Football stead that would be epic.

161
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: I just I don't know what I think I had

162
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: combined like another idea I'd seen in my head, and

163
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, that's it. We're playing on the

164
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: top of the grave. You're actually playing on the gray barrier. Yeah,

165
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: but it's definitely inland in Mackay, so not even close

166
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: to one last Peakturing. But that's fine. I'll deal with it.

167
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: And if you're in Sydney, our first game in Sydney

168
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: is going to be January thirtieth at Henston Park in Merrickville,

169
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: so get there.

170
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 2: I'll be there.

171
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 3: They are good in tennis news, so obviously we've been

172
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 3: discussing the ongoing Peng Shui situation after she made allegations

173
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 3: regarding a former high ranking Chinese government official with sexual

174
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 3: assault allegations. So she's had a second phone call with

175
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 3: the IOC last week, but the Chinese led conversation was

176
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 3: held under very controlled circumstances and there has been no

177
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 3: release of any video or transcript of the conversation. There's

178
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 3: also been zero reference to the tennis players' allegations that

179
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 3: she made against this high ranking China Chinese government official.

180
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 3: The WTA CEO, Steve Simon had threatened to withdraw all

181
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 3: WTA tournaments from China if he was not satisfied with

182
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 3: that Peng Chui was safe, and late last week followed

183
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 3: through on that went. On Thursday, he announced that the

184
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 3: WTA is suspending all operations in China. In doing so,

185
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,839
Speaker 3: Tennis became the first major league to sanction China over

186
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 3: a human rights dispute, despite its heavy exposure to the market.

187
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 3: Simon said he was not satisfied with China's response to

188
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 3: the WTA's request, saying in a statement, none of this

189
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 3: is acceptable, nor can it become acceptable. If powerful people

190
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 3: can suppress the voices of women and sweep allegations of

191
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 3: sexual assault under the rug, then the basis on which

192
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 3: the WTA was founded, a quality for women with suffer

193
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 3: an immense setback. I will not and cannot let that

194
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 3: happen to the WTA and its players. The pressure is

195
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 3: now growing on China to take action, with Australia amongst

196
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 3: a number of countries considering some form of boycott of

197
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 3: the twenty twenty two Beijing Winter Olympics. Australian politicians on

198
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 3: both sides have called for a diplomatic boycott in Beijing

199
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 3: in light of the scandal, and Liberal Senator Eric Abbetts

200
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 3: pushing for Australia to take the lead against China's suspicious

201
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 3: treatment of their citizens. Scott Morrison addressed the boycott demand's

202
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 3: last Friday, stating his government will be considering a boycott

203
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 3: against China.

204
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 2: So what that would mean is a.

205
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 3: Diplomatic boycott would involve not sending a delegation of officials

206
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 3: to the Winter Olympics in February, but allowing athletes to participate.

207
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 3: Army would be aimed at protesting against China's human rights

208
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 3: record across a number of fronts amid mounting concerns for

209
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 3: Penghue's welfare.

210
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: In basketball, the WNBL season begun on the weekend, with

211
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: the South Side Flyers starting their WNBL title defense with

212
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: a victory over the Bendigo Spirit on Saturday. Olympian Sarah

213
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: Blitzav scored twenty seven points and grabbed nine rebounds, and

214
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: bet Cole scored twenty four points in the flyers ninety

215
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: four to eighty one win at Dandenong Stadium over the weekend.

216
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: In some controversial news, Basketball australiaoul due to release the

217
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: twenty four player Opals squad lists due to compete in

218
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: the World Championship Qualifiers in Serbia in February. It was

219
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: leaked early by the media that Liz Cambridge would be

220
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 1: left out of the squad after a pretty tumultuous twenty

221
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: twenty one that saw her miss out on the Olympics tournament.

222
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: We saw just recently that she ended up receiving a

223
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: formal reprimand for her behavior in the game against Nigerian

224
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:19,359
Speaker 1: and I think there was alleged physical and verbal altercation

225
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: that took place. She's then taken to social media just

226
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: over the weekend and she's actually screenshot at an email

227
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: that had come from Basketball Australia. So the screen shot

228
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: that she shared said, we are reaching out to you

229
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: to respectfully determine whether you want to be considered as

230
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: a squad member or not for World Cup twenty twenty two.

231
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: If you're not interested in that journey, in the commitment

232
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: required by all squad members, then BEA would appreciate you

233
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: advising us accordingly. Under the screen grab of the email,

234
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: Cambridge wrote on her Instagram story do you ever get

235
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: sick of lying on my name? My interest was and

236
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: still is zero. She followed up that post with a

237
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: French statement which translates to as you make your bed

238
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: us line it. I think this whole situation has got

239
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: a lot more airtime than it deserves and I think, firstly,

240
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,719
Speaker 1: I find it really unprofessional that Liz's screenshotted a professional

241
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: email from Basketball Australian and shared it publicly on her

242
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: Instagram story. And from what we can see from the screenshot,

243
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: it's a really respectful email, yeah, just saying we'd like

244
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: to know what your attentions are. And I think it's

245
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: actually really them being quite gracious and even offering her

246
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 1: a spot after she's been reprimanded for her behavior in

247
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,439
Speaker 1: that game, so to see her then continue to behave

248
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 1: like this, My opinion is I think it's probably going

249
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: to be a good thing for the team culture for

250
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: her to not be part of the World Cup. I

251
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: think there's so many incredible, young talented players, people like

252
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 1: Ezzie Magnigoor who are coming up.

253
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 2: She's awesome, She's incredible.

254
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: We've got more experienced players like Kayla George as well

255
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: who's in the team too. So I just think it's

256
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: going to be a great thing moving forward for the opals.

257
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 1: Let's just leave this behind us now, prepare for the

258
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: World Cup on home soil and get a few wins

259
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: under the belt.

260
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

261
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,719
Speaker 3: In Winter Sports News, Oussie athletes continue to impress in

262
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 3: the lead up to the twenty twenty two Winter Olympics.

263
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 3: Brie Walker aka Bob said Brie backed up her bronze

264
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 3: medal from last week with a gold over the weekend

265
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 3: in the Monobob europe Cup World Series event in Winterberg

266
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 3: in Germany and in Ruka, Finland. Jakara Anthony took home

267
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 3: World Cup silver in the Mogul skiing event.

268
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: In rugby sevens, back to back, baby, how good the

269
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: Ossie sevens women have once again lifted the trophy in

270
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,439
Speaker 1: Dubai to secure the opening two rounds of the twenty

271
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 1: twenty one twenty two World Series. They were pretty exceptional

272
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: to be honest undefeated two weekends in a row. Over

273
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,439
Speaker 1: in Dubai. Head coach John Minanti talked about how incredible

274
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: the girl's defense was. I think they only conceded twelve

275
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: tries first scoring fifty three tries, so pretty good stats.

276
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: They're huge. We saw legend of the game Charlotte Kaslick

277
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 1: leading the way for a second week in a row.

278
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 1: She earned the nod for the Impact Player of the tournament,

279
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: and we saw in the final Faith Nathan named Player

280
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: of the Final with a really dominant performance and an

281
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: opening try for the Aussies. They're going to head to

282
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: Spain next What a life missing that just a little bit.

283
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: But I'm playing on the great so I think that

284
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: it's just totally fine. Equal with two stop set for

285
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: the end of January twenty twenty two, they're looking really

286
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: on form at the moment, so can't wait to keep watching.

287
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at the key story.

288
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 3: Sam Kerr finished an impressive third in the women's balland

289
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 3: Or count last week, which was won by Bustler's Alexia Putellas.

290
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 3: For those of you who don't know what the Ballanndor is,

291
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 3: this is a little wikipedia that finish. It's the annual

292
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 3: football award presented by French news magazine France Football, that

293
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 3: is one of the oldest and genuinely regarded as the

294
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 3: most prestigious individual award for footballers. Curse third place is

295
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 3: the highest she has finished after three nominations. The ceremony

296
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 3: and award was surrounded with controversy when questions were asked

297
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 3: around the level of respect shown to the best footballers

298
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 3: on the planet. Initially, the scheduling of the ceremony during

299
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 3: a women's international window had many questioning France Football's approached

300
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 3: the women's game. Of the twenty women's finalists, only six

301
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 3: were able to be present at the ceremony. Kerr one

302
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 3: of them who was obviously here in Sydney playing against

303
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 3: the US, so she was unable to be there on

304
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 3: the night. It was fortunate that Spanish winner Alexia was

305
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 3: able to be present, but did play a World Cup

306
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 3: qualifier for Spain only twenty four hours later.

307
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and on top of those issues around the timing,

308
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: I think the way the awards were presented also kind

309
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: of showed up some really significant inequalities if he looked

310
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: at the categories themselves. So the women's balancedor only has

311
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: twenty finalists while the men have thirty finalists. The men

312
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: also have three other awards handed out during the ceremony,

313
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: so they've got best Young Player, Best Goalkeeper, and Best Striker.

314
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: There's no equivalent awards that exist for the women. And

315
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: I think the presentation as a whole was also lower quality.

316
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: So thirty nominees for each of the men had a

317
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: highlight clip attached when they're announced. When the women were announced,

318
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: there was pretty much just a photo of each of

319
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: the women as they were presented. This was also really

320
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: similar across social media. So if you go to this

321
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: France football page on Instagram, if you feel like getting

322
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: a bit angry, you can go and have a look

323
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: and you can see entire highlight reels for every single

324
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: one of the thirty men that were nominated for the award,

325
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: and the women just kind of had a swipe of

326
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: photos and only the winner had a highlight reel video.

327
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: So I think just across the board quite disappointing. We've

328
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: seen that women have only been included in this award

329
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: since twenty seventeen. But for me, I just it's like,

330
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: if you're going to do it, don't make it this

331
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: little novelty just add on in the side. Like, if

332
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: you're going to do it, do it properly. Commit. Now

333
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: it's time for the budget ice bath.

334
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 3: A professional iron woman at just seventeen, Bonnie Hancock has

335
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 3: competed in nine at Nutrigay and Iron Women series, who's

336
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 3: represented Australia, completed a Bachelor of Nutrition and Dietetics and

337
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 3: has now shifted her focus to serfski paddling, coaching mentoring.

338
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 3: On the nineteenth of December this year, Bonnie will set

339
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 3: out from the shores of the Gold Coast to attempt

340
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 3: to become just the fifth person in history and only

341
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 3: the second female to paddle around Australia on a surf ski.

342
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 3: If successful, she'll be both the youngest and the fastest.

343
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 3: CLO caught up with Bonnie earlier this week.

344
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: Bonnie, thanks so much for coming on and having your

345
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 1: chat today. To start us off, can you tell us

346
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: a little bit about how you first got into surf

347
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 1: life saving.

348
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, firstly, thank you so much for having me. I'm

349
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 4: a huge fan of the Female Athlete Project and everything

350
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 4: that you do. It's you know, it's a space where

351
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 4: we're continually moving forward but have a lot of room

352
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 4: to grow. So well done on that. Yeah. So for myself,

353
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 4: I grew up in Sawtel, which is a little coastal

354
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 4: town about three hours south of the Gold Coast, and

355
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 4: I grew up far doing surf life saving from about

356
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 4: the age of five. I'm one of four girls, and

357
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 4: my parents just wanted to keep her safe in the water,

358
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 4: so we joined the local surf club and probably around

359
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 4: those teenage year I guess you get to the age

360
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 4: where you either kind of give up the more serious

361
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 4: side of it or sort of pursue and my sister

362
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 4: and I wanted to become professional ie women after watching

363
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,959
Speaker 4: Carlo Gilbert run around in the Metal Lease series. So

364
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,719
Speaker 4: it was at the age of seventeen I moved up

365
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 4: to the Gold Coast to pursue a professional eye woman

366
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 4: career and was lucky enough to make the series. So

367
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 4: spent about the next nine years in that while also

368
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 4: studying dietetics. So that balance of study and professional eye

369
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 4: woman racing was pretty intense.

370
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: And what was it when you got I guess towards

371
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,360
Speaker 1: the end of that nine years of being an iron

372
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: woman that tempted you to look elsewhere.

373
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 4: Yeah. Absolutely. It's a huge load on the body with

374
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 4: iron women racing because you're balancing swimming board, paddling, sea

375
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 4: puddling and running as well. So the girls trained two

376
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 4: three times a day. You know, there's not really very

377
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 4: good prize money and sponsorship within the sport. Unfortunately, it's

378
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 4: sort of got a little bit backwards. They're definitely looking

379
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 4: at moving forwards again. I sort of got to the

380
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 4: stage where I just wanted to move into my dietetics

381
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 4: career more seriously, and you know, I was sort of

382
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 4: working part time and still pursuing the Iron woman stuff.

383
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 4: So to work in the clinics full time, I thought

384
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 4: the ski puddling might be a better fit with that.

385
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 4: You essentially do five minute races out around the cans

386
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 4: on the skis. They eight and kilos. They're super heavy,

387
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 4: and I'd always look at that. I'd looked at that

388
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 4: in amazement and awe and just thought how strong those

389
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 4: women are to carry the skis and let alone hold

390
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 4: them down the wave straight. So yeah, moved into the

391
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 4: ski pudding, which fitted in with my lifestyle. And I

392
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 4: think it takes until about mid twenties to sometimes really

393
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 4: get your strength. That was always a weakness of mind.

394
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 4: So moving into that I had to learn how to

395
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,439
Speaker 4: lift in the gym and certainly get that power based.

396
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 4: So the ski puddling is where my passion is now.

397
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,959
Speaker 1: And so you're about to set off on a pretty

398
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 1: massive adventure, a bit of a huge goal in what

399
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 1: you're trying to achieve. Can you tell us a little

400
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: bit about what you're setting out to do?

401
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I certainly never grew up thinking, Wow, I want

402
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 4: to paddle around Australia or anything like that. I mean,

403
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 4: it was a couple of years ago that I read

404
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 4: prayer Hofmeister's book. So she's a German woman. She paddled

405
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 4: around Australia in two thousand and nine. She did it

406
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 4: in ten months and twenty two days on a big

407
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 4: heavy sea kayak, the about one hundred killers fully loaded.

408
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 4: So I read her book Fearless, and I was just

409
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 4: so inspired. It was terrifying. But I just couldn't get

410
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 4: the idea out of my mind. Could I do something

411
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,439
Speaker 4: like that? Could I do it a little bit quicker?

412
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 4: It led me into a bit of research, and I

413
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,360
Speaker 4: pretty soon found out it would be very risky doing

414
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 4: on your own. My husband and I have sort of

415
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,120
Speaker 4: spent a lot of time planning this so the last

416
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,199
Speaker 4: couple of years, and we realized you would need a

417
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 4: support boat to make it anywhere near state. So yeah,

418
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 4: in December, the nineteenth of December, which is two and

419
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 4: a half weeks now, I'll be setting out from the

420
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 4: Gold Coast and heading south and my aim is to

421
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 4: do it within six months. So I'll be on a

422
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 4: lighter craft. I'll be on a nine ki low ocean ski.

423
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 4: So yeah, eighty twoe hundred k days what we're looking.

424
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,439
Speaker 1: At that's massive And how does that look logistically in

425
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,199
Speaker 1: terms of your nutrition, like what does it look like

426
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: at the end of the day and how you refuel

427
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 1: and prepare to go again the next day.

428
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 4: That's right, and I've had to throw everything out the

429
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,479
Speaker 4: window of how I normally look at fueling my body.

430
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 4: You know, I'm essentially going to be in that fat

431
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 4: burning zone, not in the you know, not burning glucose

432
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 4: as a primary energy source. So as a dietitian, it's

433
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 4: going to be a really interesting experiment. I'm going to

434
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 4: sort of use myself as a bit of a guinea pig,

435
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 4: I guess. So it's around ten hours of paddling a

436
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 4: day and that's sort of that sort of fat burning zone.

437
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 4: So certainly getting enough calories in, I mean, we're looking

438
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 4: probably around ten thousand calories a day at what I'll

439
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 4: be burning. I've got supplements lined up to get enough

440
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 4: greens in and vitamin seed is very very hard to

441
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 4: meet that intake, and you have to look at things

442
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 4: like seasickness where sometimes you get that nausea and your

443
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 4: tummy doesn't want to take the food. So certainly we've

444
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,959
Speaker 4: got a lot of backup plans. We've got all of

445
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,439
Speaker 4: the gears sort of lined up for our recovery, including

446
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 4: the compression boots and arms. So we're planning as best

447
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 4: we can, but I think to be super aductible as

448
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 4: well and just kind of go with the flow.

449
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 1: Are there any parts that I'm sure you would have

450
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: done huge amounts of research, But I can picture some

451
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,439
Speaker 1: nice parts of our coastline that would be lovely to

452
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: paddle along. But I'm sure there's going to be elements

453
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 1: that there's going to be a real sense of risk

454
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: and a bit of danger associated with it too.

455
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely. There's sort of two components I guess that

456
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 4: worry me the most. It's the coastline and the big seas,

457
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 4: particularly down the bottom of the Great Australian Byte, and

458
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 4: then there's a marine life. You're kind of looking at

459
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 4: different parts of the coastline. So I mean, you've got

460
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 4: South Australia WA known for great white sharks. You've got

461
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 4: the top of the country that's known for crocodiles. So

462
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 4: we're implementing strategies as best we can to get around that.

463
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 4: We're heading clockwise in December to avoid the wet season

464
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 4: at the top where you do get more crocodiles, you're

465
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 4: more at risk of cyclones. You don't want to be

466
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 4: going underneath the country and the cold weather and risk

467
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 4: that hypothermia up the top of the country. This is

468
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 4: a bit that I've been playing on my mind. We

469
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 4: have to head about thirty forty k off shore to

470
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 4: try and avoid the crocodile as best we can, So

471
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 4: that's sort of a I have to get used to

472
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 4: kind of I won't be able to see land for

473
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 4: a couple of weeks. Sometimes we've got to stay out

474
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 4: at sea. But I've never sort of paddled somewhere where

475
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 4: I can't see land. I've snorkeled off the Great Barrier Reef.

476
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 4: For you, you know, this is very different. So yeah,

477
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 4: just getting my head around that is starting to visualize

478
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 4: those things.

479
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: And what is it that's in you? Obviously with being

480
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: an eye woman, you had that level of drive and determination,

481
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: but what is it that continues to push you. I'm

482
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 1: sure you're going to have some really long and hard

483
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: and mentally challenging days. What is it that drives you

484
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 1: to keep going?

485
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,640
Speaker 4: Initially with this and it's such a good question. People

486
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 4: have kind of asked me why you know, and I'm

487
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 4: sort of like, I don't want to get to eighty

488
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 4: years old and think could couldn't I have? I wish

489
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 4: I had a crack And I think this for me

490
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,919
Speaker 4: is looking at something that I would have previously considered

491
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 4: impossible or never been game enough to try. It's probably

492
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 4: taken me until thirty one years of age. I think,

493
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 4: stuff it, now's the time I can't do this with it.

494
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 4: Probably a family. I mean I could really carry a

495
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 4: toddler around Australia and you know, starting a family soon

496
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 4: is sort of on the agenda. So I think now

497
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 4: is a better time than ever. And for selfish reasons,

498
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 4: it's not leaving anything. I think I don't want to

499
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 4: leave this until I'm fifty to have a crack. Now

500
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 4: is a better time than ever. And the second part

501
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 4: of this, I wanted to do some good with it

502
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 4: as well. And I'm going to be raising funds and

503
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 4: awareness for Gotcha for Life, which is a mental fitness

504
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 4: charity in Sydney and they work in schools and corporate environments,

505
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 4: so doing something good with it. In the third part

506
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 4: was sharing it with others. And I mean, we're bringing

507
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 4: a videographer the whole time. We've got a crew of nine.

508
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 4: So I thought while I'm doing this. I want to

509
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 4: be able to share the coastline with other people, and

510
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 4: we're going to be doing all of that footage. So

511
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 4: there's a couple of different aspects. And for me, I

512
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 4: think when it gets really tough thinking of what people

513
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 4: have been through in the last couple of years and

514
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 4: why it's so that Gotcha for Life is so close

515
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 4: to my heart, it's sort of the project becomes about

516
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 4: something bigger than yourself and that drives you in a

517
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 4: different way.

518
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really cool. So I'll put the links in

519
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 1: the show notes, So how can people watch you when

520
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,719
Speaker 1: you set off? And also how can people support you

521
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: so that they can support the work you're doing. We've

522
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: Gotcha for Life as well.

523
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,560
