A massive moment for our Wippa. Not only has the Prime Minister learnt "Wippa" isn't his real name, but he also got to speak at the U.N. To support him in such a big moment, Wippa's parents joined him in New York. Overflowing with pride no doubt, but Wippa caught his mum doing something probably not "the done thing" at the U.N. On the topic of "not the done thing" the new NSW top cop has quite the history! It included being found less than 100% at a great aussie landmark! We also had a chat about teachers that fancied themselves as pranksters after an American teacher found himself in a bit of strife for what started as an innocent prank! Finally, we caught up with AFL legend Browny to talk through his Brisbane Lions chances in the GF this Sunday! 9.13 19.12

Speaker 1 (00:02):
He with Kate Poat Welcome to the podcast. Got an
interesting one for you, k Richie. There has been a
celebration of Australia at the United Nations this week. What
was great and it was good. It was good to
be up there with the Prime Minister. But it also
meant a lot to have my mum and dad there
and dad was definitely there. Mum went missing for most
(00:25):
of the event. That was a concern.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Is she nervous? Did she have a funny tummy, that.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
She had a funny tunny No, that's not what it was.
So she should have backed me in to say I'd.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Be right for this.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
And you know, at one stage she was dusting off
the shoulders and making sure my hair was fine. But
then when she went missing, I only spotted her through
the crowd, a long way from where she was meant
to be. And it was what she was doing which
was the major concern to why she wasn't listening to
what was going on. You'll find out more on the podcast.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
This is the Fits and Whipper with Cape Ritchie podcast.
Speaker 5 (00:58):
I always thought that when you made the two, I
don't know, maybe going to politics or take a top job.
Speaker 6 (01:03):
You've got to take.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
There's going to be a moment where you're going to
sit down and think about your past and think to yourself, Okay,
if I'm going to take this role, what are they going.
Speaker 6 (01:14):
To quiz me on? And what have I done wrong
in my.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
Previous my previous life. New top cop of New South Wales,
the new police Commissioner Mao Lanyon, spoke really well yesterday actually,
but he was at a press conference and he had
to open up about some of his past controversies, including
the biggest one and look, to be honest, it's not
that bad. But four years ago, Whip he was found
(01:40):
drunk passed out at the Big Marino in.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Gold drinking next to a giant sheep.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
You're a bit lonely if you got your drinking partner.
Speaker 6 (01:51):
So mister Lanion said.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
At the time, he'd been working very hard and also
training for a bike ride, and on that night he said,
there was another another fact that I was seriously fatigued,
been working so hard over a long period of time.
I've been training very hard on my bike and I
know that sounds tripe, but i'd been on a charity
ride and I just decided to have a couple of
(02:13):
drinks and next thing you know, you're looking up at
the big Marino going this is awesome.
Speaker 6 (02:18):
And you've passed out, Whip. But then when he was
when he was.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
Woken by an ambulance who came to check.
Speaker 6 (02:26):
On him, he told him to f off.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
So it was an ambulance there. It wasn't just light
shutting on the big Marino.
Speaker 6 (02:35):
You know what.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
Get it out of the way, right, Okay, I understand,
I've done it.
Speaker 6 (02:40):
It's a big marino. I'm blind. That's it. I'm going
to be top cop really soon and let's move on.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
I will never hook up with another sheep, I promise you.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
This is the Fitzian Whipper with Cape Ritchie podcast.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
It has been a big morning.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
We gathered ourselves, we put our suits on and we
headed to the UN.
Speaker 7 (03:00):
Leaders will soon be hearing all about Australia's social media
ban for under sixteenth when the Prime Minister fronts of
the United Nations at General Assembly.
Speaker 8 (03:07):
We know that social media is doing social harm and
my government and this Parliament is prepared to take action
to protect young Australians.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Plenty of action for the United Nations General Assembly today.
You should have seen it like if you can imagine
fits the invite list for a Prime Minister's event like this.
Everybody has to be approved by the Prime Minister's office
and then also approved by the United Nations. And then
you turn up to the building and there's I don't
know how many times twenty checkpoints. So well you have
(03:40):
to show your accreditation and then your passport as well
for your ID, and then finally you sort of make
your way through sort of an entry point to a
sort of I suppose a speaker's area where you checked
again bag security, metal detectors, dogs, and just to see.
There's thirty three thousand police in New York City and
(04:03):
they're all doing over time. They've come from everywhere and
they're all on and so there's.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
You've got you cannot you cannot question them at all
because they've short fuse.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Well, I wasn't going to go with any year. I
wasn't going to make it.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Make a joke.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
You would have been a massive Trump that would have
had a bit of a twist for the old un
But then you make your way through this garden and
it's hot over here, so we're walking, we're walking in suits.
Dad's got a crooked old knee and he's trying to
make his way up the stairs and he's going to
I'm sweating because of the blood thinners that I'm on
and say, all right, John, we're going to get up there.
Because the mum and dad wanted to be over here
for this moment to see their chubby little son speak
(04:45):
at the ue.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
What was interesting.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
We get in there and Anika Well's our communication and
sports Minister kicked off proceedings and it's quite formal, so
everyone's name is written on their chair and sort of
folded over the top of the chair with who they are.
And I looked at my seat and had Kevin Rudd
next to me and really wanted to bring up that
audio of when he's banging the desk when he can't
get his Mandarin right and he starts swearing.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
I really he wanted to bring that up.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
And then Annika Wells, Minister Wells, got up and spoke
and she introduced it. And the first person she obviously
introduced was the Prime Minister. Now you know that we've
had a fair bit to do with the Prime Minister.
He's a friend of the show and he joins us regularly.
He never worked out that my name was Michael. He
didn't know, and it just made sense for him on
(05:36):
the world stage on such an important time to let
everybody know that he just discovered my name.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
Have a listen, whipper.
Speaker 8 (05:45):
He's actually got a first name that I've just discovered.
His name is Michael. Apparently no one else has known that,
So there's a breaking story. He's a co founder of
thirty six Months and he's a media personality in Australia.
On the tenth of December, Australia will introduce social media
(06:07):
age restrictions that go further than any country has ever
done before, delaying the ability to set up social media
accounts from the current age of thirteen up to the
age of sixteen, hence the title of the campaign, thirty
six Months.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
So once he had dropped the bombshell that I had
a first name, and he moved on to more serious topics.
I'm looking around the room at this stage and I
can see the dad's at the back of the room
and he is watching. I couldn't really see mum because
if you could imagine, there was only limited seats and
then there was standing room in extra media.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
I'm trying that where mum.
Speaker 6 (06:47):
Is she's getting popcorn?
Speaker 3 (06:49):
No, she wasn't.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
At that stage, then the Prime Minister continued to speak
about the importance and why we're doing.
Speaker 8 (06:58):
This simply in one sentence, we want children to have
a childhood, to be off their phones on the sporting
fields or playing music or hanging out with friends, to
live a life lit up not by the glow of
a screen, but by all the wonderful ingredients to go
(07:20):
into making the human experience.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
So the importance was there, and he spoke really, really well,
he set it up beautifully. And not long after that
we heard and I'll play some audio for you from
beautiful Emma, who spoke Emma Mason, who had lost her
daughter because of the impact of social media. So I'm
sitting there and I'm thinking about getting up, and I'm nervous.
I've got my piece of paper that's been sweating in
my pocket, and i can still see Dad down the
end of the room, and Mum's not in her seat.
(07:47):
Don't tell me something has happened here. Christie and Kate Richie,
you'll understand this because a mother will always be a mother.
So not only had she checked my tie and then
wanted to know she asked me if I had a
hanky up my sleeve in case I got a runny nose.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Bless her.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
So I've never used a hanking in my life. I
don't know if anybody does.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
So then I finally look over and behind some camera crew,
Mom is there and she's decided to help out with
the catering. So she's handing around a tray of little
muffins that she's picked up to see if anybody to
see if anybody wants a snacker's standing at the.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
Back right.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Forever, your mom, And that's what it was.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Blueberry muffin, anyone blueberry muff and anyone thirty six thirty
six muffins, Like.
Speaker 9 (08:45):
She was probably trying to keep her emotions under control.
She just needed a job, because I have to say,
if I was if I was your mother, and you
do sometimes tease that I could be old enough to
be that I would have been. I would have been
up there. We're welling up being so proud of you.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
What an interesting technique to distract yourself. Just hand out
the This is.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
The Fits and Whipper with Cape Ritchie podcast.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
We've done dodgy teachers on the show. I want to
do pranking teachers. Did you ever.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
Teacher back in the day that you love because they'd
always play a little prank on classmates.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
And we had mister Joey Kate and what he used
to do.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
He had a big bag of jelly beans and he
busted all the kids stealing his jelly beans one day,
so I still remember he grabbed one, put it up
his nose, took it out of his nose, and then
dropped it back in the bag and said, go for a.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Kid about I went to a egg school, so we'd
go and get the chicken eggs in the morning, and
I needed to pretend to throw the eggs at people,
and then I'd go and pretend to milk the cow.
But it was actually a donkey.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
So you were milk and a donkey's really weird.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
That's what went on.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
No, we did not do that at agg school. People
didn't throw it.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
Threw oranges your milk one donkey and you get that
nickname for the rest of your life. A South Carolina
teacher assistant was arrested following a string of disturbances at
our high school. The arrest comes after complaints of a
mysterious smell that later revealed that the teacher allegedly used
(10:27):
poop spray inside the school.
Speaker 6 (10:30):
Alexander Lewis, thirty two.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
He used a spray that is supposed to imitate the
smell of fecal matter.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
So he was just going into classrooms and spraying.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
It's basically fat spray, isn't it.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
It's a far.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Bomb it What kind of fuff fluff? What kind of
fluff though?
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Because I mean, they're all different.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Aren't they.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
We've never done one, so you know, but.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
That's why I'm asking for weeks.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
Students and staff reported headaches, nausea, dizziness from what they
described as a stronger gas like smell. One's parents said,
my son's asthma has been triggered multiple times because of
his teacher, and I've had to take him to the
doctor three times.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
So it's the benefit of this, do you know?
Speaker 6 (11:21):
What?
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Isn't it disrupting the day?
Speaker 9 (11:23):
I know, if it's some kind of you know, the
teacher's been pranked and so he then pranks back.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
But if it's over good, like a period.
Speaker 9 (11:31):
Of time, grow up, mister whatever his name is.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Wasn't there a case not long ago where a guy
successfully sued the employee because the guy used to cupcake
him at lunch break.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Now having a laugh, aren't we rich?
Speaker 5 (11:48):
No, well, maybe hold onto that. With the Prime Minister
coming into old mates in half an.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
Hour, maybe you could do one.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
You do have to be care because I did it
at the brigade on Oxford Street years ago.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Going back.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
No, I had those German stink bombs, the glass ones,
and you've got to break the glass and kate.
Speaker 6 (12:09):
They were lethal. They had to, they had to.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
Everyone had to evacuate out of the light brigade.
Speaker 6 (12:16):
It was that bad.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
And the owner busted me outside because I was laughing.
I was the only one laughing outside, so he said
it must be him, and they rang, they rang the swans,
and I got into a lot of trouble.
Speaker 9 (12:29):
I was missing your foot, were you like when you're
a naughty footy player.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
Naughty naughty boy? And I was struggling to get a
kick at the time. And you don't you think Rodney
Eid who used to yell in your face and he
smelled like he used to eat stink bombs as well.
Oh my, he was a connoisseur of turd sandwiches.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
So when he was.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
When he spoke to you.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
When he spoke to you, let me just say, I
think he invented the poops. Right if you had a
branking teacher, Nikky and Taram Hara, tell us about your
cheeky teacher, Nick.
Speaker 10 (13:15):
Oh, well, listen, confession time. I was the cheeky teacher.
I used to work as a teaching aide in the school.
And I've seen this comedian buy all these ducks and
plant them around the house and his chaired flat, and
I thought, wow, I could also order two hundred mini
ducks online and plant them around the school premises in classrooms.
(13:37):
So the kids loved it, some of the teachers not
so much. And unfortunately, in some of the teacher bathrooms,
the couple of the ducks got decapitated and their lives
ended badly.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Do you mean plastic ducks, yeah.
Speaker 10 (13:51):
Tiny plastic ducks. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
So the teachers disapproved of it that much that they
cut off the heads of your plastic ducks, Nikki.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (14:00):
Can I just say that was not in the classrooms
where small children may be traumatized. It isn't sort of
teaching bathrooms just you know, But yes, some of them did,
and I still to this day I don't work there anymore.
Do not know who killed my ducks?
Speaker 6 (14:16):
Did the other teachers work out that it was you
that did it?
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Net?
Speaker 6 (14:19):
Did you confess or no?
Speaker 10 (14:20):
Listen yes over time at the beginning, no, and then
people know me and I'm a bit of a prankster,
and so eventually it works out.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
Such original meet in a lamb Be Heights.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
You and your colleagues don't mind a little prank every
now and then.
Speaker 11 (14:40):
We grew a group of teachers here and every time
we had hand out an exam, we tell the boys
that they've got to spell our name right otherwise they'll
lose a mark. It's absolute panic, that outrage when we
in big red numbers minus one at the top of
the exam page. The yeah this kids get nuts, parents
complaining that it's a fight when we tell them it's
(15:03):
all just fake, I mean.
Speaker 9 (15:09):
Respect getting somebody's name written correctly anyway. You think it's.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Also weird that Mitch teaches year twelve students, which they're
still getting it wrong.

Speaker 6 (18:00):
We're talking beach weather at the end of September.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
What a treat I mean, all this good weather. As
we were saying fits, it makes you just want to
garden in the nude? Doesn't it make you want to
get out there and see if there's any weeds.
Speaker 9 (18:15):
I was thinking about gardening in the nude yesterday while
I was doing it, and then I felt I had
this moment of feeling offended that I haven't had more
business cards of local landscape as saying if you need
a hand, and then I then my second thought, I'll
continue to bore you was you know what we must be.
I haven't received anything, and I'm not offended. I just
(18:39):
think we're breeding a new It's a new breed, tame
of nud Garden, a new breed of tradesmen. Complete gentleman's
didn't we complete? It's because I'm lying, obviously.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
That's why didn't.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
We say off here that that Jim could start a
new franchise, Jim showing yes.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
There's a reason why it's so fair.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
This is the fitz Whip with Cape Ritchie podcast.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
Jimmy Kimmel returned to our screens last night. I thought
he's opening monologue was unbelievable. Actually, he got quite emotional.
Speaker 15 (19:21):
I've been hearing a lot about what I need to
say and do tonight, and the truth is, I don't
think what I have to say.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
Is going to make much of a difference.
Speaker 15 (19:28):
If you like me, you like me. If you don't,
you don't. I have no illusions about changing anyone's mind,
but I do want to make something clear because it's
important to me as a human and that is you
understand that it was never my intention to make light
of the murder of a young man.
Speaker 13 (19:44):
I don't.
Speaker 6 (19:48):
Really bad.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Wow, wasn't it? I feel for him?
Speaker 6 (19:52):
Well, it's.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
To say, well, Donald Trump went the other Charlie Kirk's
memorial went.
Speaker 6 (19:59):
Near the other day saying that he was making light
of it. He didn't at all.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
He I do not, honest, I'm not completely across the story.
I don't know the reference that was made.
Speaker 6 (20:11):
It was neither of mind fill it was.
Speaker 5 (20:14):
It was he was basically saying that the Mega people
have profiled this killer straight away.
Speaker 6 (20:19):
That's all he said.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
So that they've profiled this guy straight away. He didn't
condone the violence. He never made light of the murder
at all.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
He you know, that's all. He basically said that the.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
Mega people have profiled who this killer is already, and
that was it. And he was taken off air. So
that was his first response when he came back from
the heart got emotional last night. It is good to
see him back, though, Like I mean, God, if he
did stay off air, I mean, they're setting a precedent
over there that if free speech. Imagine all the other
(20:52):
talk shows and just everyone freaking out.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
That went the desired effect, though, is it not exactly?
Speaker 12 (21:01):
This is the fits in with Kate Richie podcast.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Today was a very very special day for Australia, a
really proud day for Australia when we took our march
to the UN to talk about delaying the age of
kids joining social media.
Speaker 7 (21:16):
World leaders will soon be hearing all about Australia's social
media band for under sixteenth when the Prime Minister of
fronts the United Nations at General Assembly.
Speaker 8 (21:24):
We know that social media is doing social heart and
my government and this Parliament is prepared to take action
to protect young Australians.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
The Prime Minister let it beautifully and spoke really, really
well and it was great also to get some feedback
from Kate that my time not wasn't tired enough.
Speaker 9 (21:42):
Oh, I just it was one of the first things
I looked. Because I didn't have volume on the Instagram post,
I wouldn't normally notice what you were wearing above what
you were saying.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
No, that's okay, I can work on that.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
But that's where you have stepped in.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
I'm sorry you had your mum and dad there and
that's where Christanne should have come in and go come
over here, got a flannel out, spat on it and
then wiped your face as well, just before you went in, she.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Should have done that. You're right, Mum and Dad are
here as well, fits and I always know where they are.
They're just moments behind us because I can hear Dad
dragging his book because.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
He's got a bad me.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
It was just it was an extraordinary day and it
was a really proud day for Australia, and it was
a really proud day for Australian parents because as you know,
you know, when we started thirty six months we launched
the petition and asked families to get behind it and
we were getting ten thousand signatures a day and very
quickly we raced up to around one hundred and fifty
thousand mums and dads that said this is the number
(22:40):
one thing keeping us up at night and we want
a change. And the great thing is that the Prime
Minister heard this calling and when we sat in camber
he made the call which was very brave, which was
last year. Big tech are big players and as of
the tenth of December this year, that new law will
come into play. I wanted to play a little bit
of the action for the United Nations today because you know,
(23:02):
we had the Prime Minister of Greece there, the Prime
Minister of Malta, of Fiji and Tonga, but we also
had and she was just extraordinary. The President of the
European commission Ershula vonder Layan. I think is how I
say her last name, and she just spoke so well
about Australia's stance and how the rest of Europe is watching.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Have a listen to her speech.
Speaker 16 (23:23):
Since the announcement of Australia's landmark minimum age law, I've
been watching very closely and I've been inspired by Australia's example.
You are the first to give this a try. It
is of course also a hot topic discussed and debated
in the European Union because it is for parents to
(23:46):
raise their children and not for algorithms. Our next generation
needs us to step up, to be daring and to
give this a goal.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
European Commissioner Urshaa vonder lay there.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
It's do you know what it's really touching to know
that you know, all across the globe people are watching
and you were saying as well, there were heads of
countries there wasn't there just to see your speech and
the thirty six months initiative, Because that's really encouraging to
know that they want to take away what you were
saying yesterday and put it into their country hopefully, and
(24:24):
that's what you're trying to achieve.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Well, fingers crossed.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
There was absolutely a moving moment on the day and
she's just so brave. Emma Mason is her name. She
lost her daughter Tilly back in twenty twenty two and
to be able to get up at the United Nations
and speak about her experience and what happened with Tilly
and the family and what she has gone through and
the impact of social media was just unbelievably brave. So
(24:50):
I wanted to play you some of EM's speech.
Speaker 17 (24:52):
Now, this was death by bullying, but it was enabled
by social media. In this age of so social media technology,
with all the positives of access to information and social engagement,
social media has also unleashed real harm on its users.
(25:12):
Research has crystallized what we were witnessing in our communities,
a decline in mental health, concentration, the negative effects on
body image, social skills, sleep, and of course cyber bullying.
The Australian government heard the call from passionate advocates and
has stood up and said no more. This is unacceptable.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Oh wow, she spoke so well.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
I mean to think that her daughter was there in
spirit with her and driving the force that is her
mum Emma to get up and continue to campaign was
just extraordinary.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
She did such a brave.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
Job you've had, I mean, some of the parents, mate
that you've had, and you can understand that a lot
of them want to walk away when they lose a
child like that, But you have had some unbelievable parents
that have got behind this initiative. And you know, I
don't know how powerful your words have been, but is
(26:11):
it fair to say that to hear it coming from
a parent's mouth, how powerful that is to hear that
online a world scar.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
It's why we're there.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
That's the I mean, Emma, is the exact reason why
the campaign began and the reason why we're still talking
about it and taking this conversation globally.
Speaker 9 (26:30):
Yeah, and why people can continue to relate to it.
I guess when someone's brave enough to share their own story.
I know that so many other people would have spoken overnight, Whipper,
but it'd be really nice to hear from you and
hear what you had to say up there?
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Is that all right, let's do it.
Speaker 18 (26:48):
Our next speaker is Michael Whipley or Whipper for our
Australian audience, a radio legend, a co founder of the
thirty six Months campaign and a critical advocate for Australia's
social media minimum age laws.
Speaker 19 (27:06):
Thanks very much. Today I feel proud to be an Australian. Today,
I feel even prouder to be an Australian parent. Rob
Galuzzo from Finching myself put a name to this effort.
Thirty six months not a ban, a buffer. It's a
window of opportunity to be more deliberate about healthy team development.
(27:27):
We've got an extra thirty six months for kids to
get to know themselves before the world does.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
What are we going to do with it?
Speaker 6 (27:35):
What a great question, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
I mean, it's exciting to think of the opportunity that
exists another thirty six months. What are we going to
do with this brand new playing field that we have.
Speaker 14 (27:45):
One?
Speaker 6 (27:46):
With you?
Speaker 3 (27:46):
Thank you, buddy, I appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Yeah, well yeah, you really have. You've worked. You've worked
so hard.
Speaker 6 (27:52):
And to put it into the effective as well.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
You're at old mates now, you're at the pub there,
but you I mean there were people that wanted to
get up and speak to you.
Speaker 6 (28:00):
More importantly, Rose Bourne, who we know is.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
A great Australian actress, she's right behind this, and she said,
I'd love to talk at the un but it's tough
to actually get in there and get a spot, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Weirk like it's really well, it is, yeah, and I
spent when the other countries put their hand up to
say we'd love to attend, and you obviously then invite
them to say a few words. So they all spoke
really well about watching what Australia was doing, and they're
they're continuing to watch closely about what happens on December
the tenth and how we move forward with it. It's
going to take time and it might be perfect, but
we'll get there. So I think that was the important message.
Speaker 6 (28:31):
Can we just did anyone hear the word radio and
legend together at the start of them?
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Did you write?
Speaker 3 (28:38):
I wrote that Anika Wells.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
And she read it out word for word.
Speaker 9 (28:44):
That was incredible. But you know what you are. You
are a legend and I know it's not just you.
There's an entire team and even the Nova team who
are over there working at the moment, but I was
absolutely I was thinking in the middle of the night
because I I didn't sleep very well last night, and
I was thinking of you guys over there, and I
was thinking about how we don't as a parent, and
(29:06):
I have an eleven year old daughter who like everything's
changing for her, you know, And I'm thankful that she's
on this side of asking for phones and social media,
and I'm sure that then the transition will be a
little easier for me. But I thought, you know what, Luckily,
for a lot of parents, we won't actually know the
(29:30):
impact of this.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
We won't.
Speaker 9 (29:32):
But how can I explain what I was What I'm
trying to articulate is that the thirty six months that
we've been given, we're not going to know how wonderful
it is because we won't have the trauma and the
tragedy and the impact of it not happening. Does that
(29:56):
make sense? And it made me feel really emotional. And
so to everyone that's made this happen, and we've we've
we've stood beside you, we're from watched you work so
hard over this time. I you know, I can't speak
for all parents, or people, or young young girls or
young kids, but like, thank you, thank you so much
(30:18):
for no I appreciate it, you know, helping helping us
parent in the way that we would really like to.
Speaker 6 (30:23):
Yeah, we're all trying our best parents.

Speaker 5 (31:03):
The Magnificent Jonathan Brown Brownie, Brownie, Hey Brownie.
Speaker 14 (31:07):
That are Crow? What's happening? An extra cast member of
this show.
Speaker 6 (31:12):
You are mate.
Speaker 5 (31:12):
You've been on many times and we we thought we
had to get you on the day before the Grand Final, Brownie.
Speaker 6 (31:19):
I mean, what are the nerves like?
Speaker 5 (31:20):
I mean you you do have the parade through Melbourne,
they have a public holiday down there. How how do
you get much sleep the night before a GF Brown Well, as.
Speaker 14 (31:31):
Long as your tickets are sort of out titchy. That's
the main thing, yes, because that's I'm from the country.
They bred like rabbits out in the country, so I've
got a big family. And when the old means on
the phone saying I know tickets for his cousin and
that cousin I made, I've never heard about it, he goes, well,
they're part of the thing. We say, you need to
get them ticket.
Speaker 5 (31:52):
It is the premiere sporting event in Australia. It's the
AFL Grand Final and Brownie, I know your Brisbane Lions.
Speaker 6 (32:00):
They've been there before, they won it last year.
Speaker 5 (32:02):
But I'll tell you what, They're going to have to
play at their best and this is going to be
a scrap fight because I've never seen a team in
better form than the Geelong Cats coming into this gs Yah.
Speaker 14 (32:12):
They're red. So I think the awfully support is one
of the best Garden Last year brisb were awesome. It
hasn't been you loved it, but Sydney were disappointing. But
I expect this one to be a lot cligher than that.
I played Echails three weeks ago, but I think that
actually helps Brisbane because I think Brisbane can make some
adjustments and catch alongshide their head. So they happened to
(32:34):
ask in two down and three. We lost their first
ball Collingwood and then Big Belton the Grand Final three
weeks later. So I felt as he was going into
that game, I'm just talking around, oh Coachway Matthews that
we're a lot better prepared the second time round. So
fingers crossed the lines. The same thing happens.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
Can you give us give us a tip for the
Norm Smith Metal best player on the ground, Brownie here,
do you think I'm.
Speaker 14 (32:54):
A Danes or I'm going to go for so? I
mean actually think yeah, the thinker belt, he's he's a beauty,
he's a gun swinger. He'll get plenty of kicks, and
maybe one of the younger fellas in Darcy Wilmot, who's
an absolute start, good real celebration to the match to
kick one or to draw the attention of the Norse
Metal voters. So yeah, and obviously I'm back in the line.
(33:16):
So he's got to go with the heart stick with
the heart hits.
Speaker 6 (33:19):
Yeah mate, you do?
Speaker 5 (33:20):
I mean, well he's been there, he's done it, and

Playing
He with Kate Poat Welcome to the podcast. Got an
interesting one for you, k Richie. There has been a
celebration of Australia at the United Nations this week. What
was great and it was good. It was good to
be up there with the Prime Minister. But it also
meant a lot to have my mum and dad there
and dad was definitely there. Mum went missing for most
(00:25):
of the event. That was a concern.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Is she nervous? Did she have a funny tummy, that.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
She had a funny tunny No, that's not what it was.
So she should have backed me in to say I'd.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Be right for this.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
And you know, at one stage she was dusting off
the shoulders and making sure my hair was fine. But
then when she went missing, I only spotted her through
the crowd, a long way from where she was meant
to be. And it was what she was doing which
was the major concern to why she wasn't listening to
what was going on. You'll find out more on the podcast.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
This is the Fits and Whipper with Cape Ritchie podcast.
Speaker 5 (00:58):
I always thought that when you made the two, I
don't know, maybe going to politics or take a top job.
Speaker 6 (01:03):
You've got to take.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
There's going to be a moment where you're going to
sit down and think about your past and think to yourself, Okay,
if I'm going to take this role, what are they going.
Speaker 6 (01:14):
To quiz me on? And what have I done wrong
in my.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
Previous my previous life. New top cop of New South Wales,
the new police Commissioner Mao Lanyon, spoke really well yesterday actually,
but he was at a press conference and he had
to open up about some of his past controversies, including
the biggest one and look, to be honest, it's not
that bad. But four years ago, Whip he was found
(01:40):
drunk passed out at the Big Marino in.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Gold drinking next to a giant sheep.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
You're a bit lonely if you got your drinking partner.
Speaker 6 (01:51):
So mister Lanion said.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
At the time, he'd been working very hard and also
training for a bike ride, and on that night he said,
there was another another fact that I was seriously fatigued,
been working so hard over a long period of time.
I've been training very hard on my bike and I
know that sounds tripe, but i'd been on a charity
ride and I just decided to have a couple of
(02:13):
drinks and next thing you know, you're looking up at
the big Marino going this is awesome.
Speaker 6 (02:18):
And you've passed out, Whip. But then when he was
when he was.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
Woken by an ambulance who came to check.
Speaker 6 (02:26):
On him, he told him to f off.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
So it was an ambulance there. It wasn't just light
shutting on the big Marino.
Speaker 6 (02:35):
You know what.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
Get it out of the way, right, Okay, I understand,
I've done it.
Speaker 6 (02:40):
It's a big marino. I'm blind. That's it. I'm going
to be top cop really soon and let's move on.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
I will never hook up with another sheep, I promise you.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
This is the Fitzian Whipper with Cape Ritchie podcast.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
It has been a big morning.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
We gathered ourselves, we put our suits on and we
headed to the UN.
Speaker 7 (03:00):
Leaders will soon be hearing all about Australia's social media
ban for under sixteenth when the Prime Minister fronts of
the United Nations at General Assembly.
Speaker 8 (03:07):
We know that social media is doing social harm and
my government and this Parliament is prepared to take action
to protect young Australians.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Plenty of action for the United Nations General Assembly today.
You should have seen it like if you can imagine
fits the invite list for a Prime Minister's event like this.
Everybody has to be approved by the Prime Minister's office
and then also approved by the United Nations. And then
you turn up to the building and there's I don't
know how many times twenty checkpoints. So well you have
(03:40):
to show your accreditation and then your passport as well
for your ID, and then finally you sort of make
your way through sort of an entry point to a
sort of I suppose a speaker's area where you checked
again bag security, metal detectors, dogs, and just to see.
There's thirty three thousand police in New York City and
(04:03):
they're all doing over time. They've come from everywhere and
they're all on and so there's.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
You've got you cannot you cannot question them at all
because they've short fuse.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Well, I wasn't going to go with any year. I
wasn't going to make it.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Make a joke.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
You would have been a massive Trump that would have
had a bit of a twist for the old un
But then you make your way through this garden and
it's hot over here, so we're walking, we're walking in suits.
Dad's got a crooked old knee and he's trying to
make his way up the stairs and he's going to
I'm sweating because of the blood thinners that I'm on
and say, all right, John, we're going to get up there.
Because the mum and dad wanted to be over here
for this moment to see their chubby little son speak
(04:45):
at the ue.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
What was interesting.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
We get in there and Anika Well's our communication and
sports Minister kicked off proceedings and it's quite formal, so
everyone's name is written on their chair and sort of
folded over the top of the chair with who they are.
And I looked at my seat and had Kevin Rudd
next to me and really wanted to bring up that
audio of when he's banging the desk when he can't
get his Mandarin right and he starts swearing.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
I really he wanted to bring that up.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
And then Annika Wells, Minister Wells, got up and spoke
and she introduced it. And the first person she obviously
introduced was the Prime Minister. Now you know that we've
had a fair bit to do with the Prime Minister.
He's a friend of the show and he joins us regularly.
He never worked out that my name was Michael. He
didn't know, and it just made sense for him on
(05:36):
the world stage on such an important time to let
everybody know that he just discovered my name.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
Have a listen, whipper.
Speaker 8 (05:45):
He's actually got a first name that I've just discovered.
His name is Michael. Apparently no one else has known that,
So there's a breaking story. He's a co founder of
thirty six Months and he's a media personality in Australia.
On the tenth of December, Australia will introduce social media
(06:07):
age restrictions that go further than any country has ever
done before, delaying the ability to set up social media
accounts from the current age of thirteen up to the
age of sixteen, hence the title of the campaign, thirty
six Months.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
So once he had dropped the bombshell that I had
a first name, and he moved on to more serious topics.
I'm looking around the room at this stage and I
can see the dad's at the back of the room
and he is watching. I couldn't really see mum because
if you could imagine, there was only limited seats and
then there was standing room in extra media.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
I'm trying that where mum.
Speaker 6 (06:47):
Is she's getting popcorn?
Speaker 3 (06:49):
No, she wasn't.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
At that stage, then the Prime Minister continued to speak
about the importance and why we're doing.
Speaker 8 (06:58):
This simply in one sentence, we want children to have
a childhood, to be off their phones on the sporting
fields or playing music or hanging out with friends, to
live a life lit up not by the glow of
a screen, but by all the wonderful ingredients to go
(07:20):
into making the human experience.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
So the importance was there, and he spoke really, really well,
he set it up beautifully. And not long after that
we heard and I'll play some audio for you from
beautiful Emma, who spoke Emma Mason, who had lost her
daughter because of the impact of social media. So I'm
sitting there and I'm thinking about getting up, and I'm nervous.
I've got my piece of paper that's been sweating in
my pocket, and i can still see Dad down the
end of the room, and Mum's not in her seat.
(07:47):
Don't tell me something has happened here. Christie and Kate Richie,
you'll understand this because a mother will always be a mother.
So not only had she checked my tie and then
wanted to know she asked me if I had a
hanky up my sleeve in case I got a runny nose.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Bless her.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
So I've never used a hanking in my life. I
don't know if anybody does.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
So then I finally look over and behind some camera crew,
Mom is there and she's decided to help out with
the catering. So she's handing around a tray of little
muffins that she's picked up to see if anybody to
see if anybody wants a snacker's standing at the.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
Back right.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Forever, your mom, And that's what it was.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Blueberry muffin, anyone blueberry muff and anyone thirty six thirty
six muffins, Like.
Speaker 9 (08:45):
She was probably trying to keep her emotions under control.
She just needed a job, because I have to say,
if I was if I was your mother, and you
do sometimes tease that I could be old enough to
be that I would have been. I would have been
up there. We're welling up being so proud of you.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
What an interesting technique to distract yourself. Just hand out
the This is.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
The Fits and Whipper with Cape Ritchie podcast.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
We've done dodgy teachers on the show. I want to
do pranking teachers. Did you ever.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
Teacher back in the day that you love because they'd
always play a little prank on classmates.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
And we had mister Joey Kate and what he used
to do.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
He had a big bag of jelly beans and he
busted all the kids stealing his jelly beans one day,
so I still remember he grabbed one, put it up
his nose, took it out of his nose, and then
dropped it back in the bag and said, go for a.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Kid about I went to a egg school, so we'd
go and get the chicken eggs in the morning, and
I needed to pretend to throw the eggs at people,
and then I'd go and pretend to milk the cow.
But it was actually a donkey.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
So you were milk and a donkey's really weird.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
That's what went on.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
No, we did not do that at agg school. People
didn't throw it.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
Threw oranges your milk one donkey and you get that
nickname for the rest of your life. A South Carolina
teacher assistant was arrested following a string of disturbances at
our high school. The arrest comes after complaints of a
mysterious smell that later revealed that the teacher allegedly used
(10:27):
poop spray inside the school.
Speaker 6 (10:30):
Alexander Lewis, thirty two.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
He used a spray that is supposed to imitate the
smell of fecal matter.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
So he was just going into classrooms and spraying.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
It's basically fat spray, isn't it.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
It's a far.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Bomb it What kind of fuff fluff? What kind of
fluff though?
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Because I mean, they're all different.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Aren't they.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
We've never done one, so you know, but.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
That's why I'm asking for weeks.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
Students and staff reported headaches, nausea, dizziness from what they
described as a stronger gas like smell. One's parents said,
my son's asthma has been triggered multiple times because of
his teacher, and I've had to take him to the
doctor three times.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
So it's the benefit of this, do you know?
Speaker 6 (11:21):
What?
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Isn't it disrupting the day?
Speaker 9 (11:23):
I know, if it's some kind of you know, the
teacher's been pranked and so he then pranks back.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
But if it's over good, like a period.
Speaker 9 (11:31):
Of time, grow up, mister whatever his name is.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Wasn't there a case not long ago where a guy
successfully sued the employee because the guy used to cupcake
him at lunch break.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Now having a laugh, aren't we rich?
Speaker 5 (11:48):
No, well, maybe hold onto that. With the Prime Minister
coming into old mates in half an.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
Hour, maybe you could do one.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
You do have to be care because I did it
at the brigade on Oxford Street years ago.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Going back.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
No, I had those German stink bombs, the glass ones,
and you've got to break the glass and kate.
Speaker 6 (12:09):
They were lethal. They had to, they had to.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
Everyone had to evacuate out of the light brigade.
Speaker 6 (12:16):
It was that bad.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
And the owner busted me outside because I was laughing.
I was the only one laughing outside, so he said
it must be him, and they rang, they rang the swans,
and I got into a lot of trouble.
Speaker 9 (12:29):
I was missing your foot, were you like when you're
a naughty footy player.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
Naughty naughty boy? And I was struggling to get a
kick at the time. And you don't you think Rodney
Eid who used to yell in your face and he
smelled like he used to eat stink bombs as well.
Oh my, he was a connoisseur of turd sandwiches.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
So when he was.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
When he spoke to you.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
When he spoke to you, let me just say, I
think he invented the poops. Right if you had a
branking teacher, Nikky and Taram Hara, tell us about your
cheeky teacher, Nick.
Speaker 10 (13:15):
Oh, well, listen, confession time. I was the cheeky teacher.
I used to work as a teaching aide in the school.
And I've seen this comedian buy all these ducks and
plant them around the house and his chaired flat, and
I thought, wow, I could also order two hundred mini
ducks online and plant them around the school premises in classrooms.
(13:37):
So the kids loved it, some of the teachers not
so much. And unfortunately, in some of the teacher bathrooms,
the couple of the ducks got decapitated and their lives
ended badly.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Do you mean plastic ducks, yeah.
Speaker 10 (13:51):
Tiny plastic ducks. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
So the teachers disapproved of it that much that they
cut off the heads of your plastic ducks, Nikki.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (14:00):
Can I just say that was not in the classrooms
where small children may be traumatized. It isn't sort of
teaching bathrooms just you know, But yes, some of them did,
and I still to this day I don't work there anymore.
Do not know who killed my ducks?
Speaker 6 (14:16):
Did the other teachers work out that it was you
that did it?
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Net?
Speaker 6 (14:19):
Did you confess or no?
Speaker 10 (14:20):
Listen yes over time at the beginning, no, and then
people know me and I'm a bit of a prankster,
and so eventually it works out.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
Such original meet in a lamb Be Heights.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
You and your colleagues don't mind a little prank every
now and then.
Speaker 11 (14:40):
We grew a group of teachers here and every time
we had hand out an exam, we tell the boys
that they've got to spell our name right otherwise they'll
lose a mark. It's absolute panic, that outrage when we
in big red numbers minus one at the top of
the exam page. The yeah this kids get nuts, parents
complaining that it's a fight when we tell them it's
(15:03):
all just fake, I mean.
Speaker 9 (15:09):
Respect getting somebody's name written correctly anyway. You think it's.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Also weird that Mitch teaches year twelve students, which they're
still getting it wrong.

This is the Fits and Whipper with Kate Richie podcast.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
We're talking beach weather at the end of September.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
What a treat I mean, all this good weather. As
we were saying fits, it makes you just want to
garden in the nude? Doesn't it make you want to
get out there and see if there's any weeds.
Speaker 9 (18:15):
I was thinking about gardening in the nude yesterday while
I was doing it, and then I felt I had
this moment of feeling offended that I haven't had more
business cards of local landscape as saying if you need
a hand, and then I then my second thought, I'll
continue to bore you was you know what we must be.
I haven't received anything, and I'm not offended. I just
(18:39):
think we're breeding a new It's a new breed, tame
of nud Garden, a new breed of tradesmen. Complete gentleman's
didn't we complete? It's because I'm lying, obviously.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
That's why didn't.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
We say off here that that Jim could start a
new franchise, Jim showing yes.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
There's a reason why it's so fair.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
This is the fitz Whip with Cape Ritchie podcast.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
Jimmy Kimmel returned to our screens last night. I thought
he's opening monologue was unbelievable. Actually, he got quite emotional.
Speaker 15 (19:21):
I've been hearing a lot about what I need to
say and do tonight, and the truth is, I don't
think what I have to say.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
Is going to make much of a difference.
Speaker 15 (19:28):
If you like me, you like me. If you don't,
you don't. I have no illusions about changing anyone's mind,
but I do want to make something clear because it's
important to me as a human and that is you
understand that it was never my intention to make light
of the murder of a young man.
Speaker 13 (19:44):
I don't.
Speaker 6 (19:48):
Really bad.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Wow, wasn't it? I feel for him?
Speaker 6 (19:52):
Well, it's.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
To say, well, Donald Trump went the other Charlie Kirk's
memorial went.
Speaker 6 (19:59):
Near the other day saying that he was making light
of it. He didn't at all.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
He I do not, honest, I'm not completely across the story.
I don't know the reference that was made.
Speaker 6 (20:11):
It was neither of mind fill it was.
Speaker 5 (20:14):
It was he was basically saying that the Mega people
have profiled this killer straight away.
Speaker 6 (20:19):
That's all he said.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
So that they've profiled this guy straight away. He didn't
condone the violence. He never made light of the murder
at all.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
He you know, that's all. He basically said that the.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
Mega people have profiled who this killer is already, and
that was it. And he was taken off air. So
that was his first response when he came back from
the heart got emotional last night. It is good to
see him back, though, Like I mean, God, if he
did stay off air, I mean, they're setting a precedent
over there that if free speech. Imagine all the other
(20:52):
talk shows and just everyone freaking out.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
That went the desired effect, though, is it not exactly?
Speaker 12 (21:01):
This is the fits in with Kate Richie podcast.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Today was a very very special day for Australia, a
really proud day for Australia when we took our march
to the UN to talk about delaying the age of
kids joining social media.
Speaker 7 (21:16):
World leaders will soon be hearing all about Australia's social
media band for under sixteenth when the Prime Minister of
fronts the United Nations at General Assembly.
Speaker 8 (21:24):
We know that social media is doing social heart and
my government and this Parliament is prepared to take action
to protect young Australians.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
The Prime Minister let it beautifully and spoke really, really
well and it was great also to get some feedback
from Kate that my time not wasn't tired enough.
Speaker 9 (21:42):
Oh, I just it was one of the first things
I looked. Because I didn't have volume on the Instagram post,
I wouldn't normally notice what you were wearing above what
you were saying.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
No, that's okay, I can work on that.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
But that's where you have stepped in.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
I'm sorry you had your mum and dad there and
that's where Christanne should have come in and go come
over here, got a flannel out, spat on it and
then wiped your face as well, just before you went in, she.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Should have done that. You're right, Mum and Dad are
here as well, fits and I always know where they are.
They're just moments behind us because I can hear Dad
dragging his book because.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
He's got a bad me.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
It was just it was an extraordinary day and it
was a really proud day for Australia, and it was
a really proud day for Australian parents because as you know,
you know, when we started thirty six months we launched
the petition and asked families to get behind it and
we were getting ten thousand signatures a day and very
quickly we raced up to around one hundred and fifty
thousand mums and dads that said this is the number
(22:40):
one thing keeping us up at night and we want
a change. And the great thing is that the Prime
Minister heard this calling and when we sat in camber
he made the call which was very brave, which was
last year. Big tech are big players and as of
the tenth of December this year, that new law will
come into play. I wanted to play a little bit
of the action for the United Nations today because you know,
(23:02):
we had the Prime Minister of Greece there, the Prime
Minister of Malta, of Fiji and Tonga, but we also
had and she was just extraordinary. The President of the
European commission Ershula vonder Layan. I think is how I
say her last name, and she just spoke so well
about Australia's stance and how the rest of Europe is watching.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Have a listen to her speech.
Speaker 16 (23:23):
Since the announcement of Australia's landmark minimum age law, I've
been watching very closely and I've been inspired by Australia's example.
You are the first to give this a try. It
is of course also a hot topic discussed and debated
in the European Union because it is for parents to
(23:46):
raise their children and not for algorithms. Our next generation
needs us to step up, to be daring and to
give this a goal.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
European Commissioner Urshaa vonder lay there.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
It's do you know what it's really touching to know
that you know, all across the globe people are watching
and you were saying as well, there were heads of
countries there wasn't there just to see your speech and
the thirty six months initiative, Because that's really encouraging to
know that they want to take away what you were
saying yesterday and put it into their country hopefully, and
(24:24):
that's what you're trying to achieve.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Well, fingers crossed.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
There was absolutely a moving moment on the day and
she's just so brave. Emma Mason is her name. She
lost her daughter Tilly back in twenty twenty two and
to be able to get up at the United Nations
and speak about her experience and what happened with Tilly
and the family and what she has gone through and
the impact of social media was just unbelievably brave. So
(24:50):
I wanted to play you some of EM's speech.
Speaker 17 (24:52):
Now, this was death by bullying, but it was enabled
by social media. In this age of so social media technology,
with all the positives of access to information and social engagement,
social media has also unleashed real harm on its users.
(25:12):
Research has crystallized what we were witnessing in our communities,
a decline in mental health, concentration, the negative effects on
body image, social skills, sleep, and of course cyber bullying.
The Australian government heard the call from passionate advocates and
has stood up and said no more. This is unacceptable.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Oh wow, she spoke so well.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
I mean to think that her daughter was there in
spirit with her and driving the force that is her
mum Emma to get up and continue to campaign was
just extraordinary.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
She did such a brave.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
Job you've had, I mean, some of the parents, mate
that you've had, and you can understand that a lot
of them want to walk away when they lose a
child like that, But you have had some unbelievable parents
that have got behind this initiative. And you know, I
don't know how powerful your words have been, but is
(26:11):
it fair to say that to hear it coming from
a parent's mouth, how powerful that is to hear that
online a world scar.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
It's why we're there.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
That's the I mean, Emma, is the exact reason why
the campaign began and the reason why we're still talking
about it and taking this conversation globally.
Speaker 9 (26:30):
Yeah, and why people can continue to relate to it.
I guess when someone's brave enough to share their own story.
I know that so many other people would have spoken overnight, Whipper,
but it'd be really nice to hear from you and
hear what you had to say up there?
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Is that all right, let's do it.
Speaker 18 (26:48):
Our next speaker is Michael Whipley or Whipper for our
Australian audience, a radio legend, a co founder of the
thirty six Months campaign and a critical advocate for Australia's
social media minimum age laws.
Speaker 19 (27:06):
Thanks very much. Today I feel proud to be an Australian. Today,
I feel even prouder to be an Australian parent. Rob
Galuzzo from Finching myself put a name to this effort.
Thirty six months not a ban, a buffer. It's a
window of opportunity to be more deliberate about healthy team development.
(27:27):
We've got an extra thirty six months for kids to
get to know themselves before the world does.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
What are we going to do with it?
Speaker 6 (27:35):
What a great question, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
I mean, it's exciting to think of the opportunity that
exists another thirty six months. What are we going to
do with this brand new playing field that we have.
Speaker 14 (27:45):
One?
Speaker 6 (27:46):
With you?
Speaker 3 (27:46):
Thank you, buddy, I appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Yeah, well yeah, you really have. You've worked. You've worked
so hard.
Speaker 6 (27:52):
And to put it into the effective as well.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
You're at old mates now, you're at the pub there,
but you I mean there were people that wanted to
get up and speak to you.
Speaker 6 (28:00):
More importantly, Rose Bourne, who we know is.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
A great Australian actress, she's right behind this, and she said,
I'd love to talk at the un but it's tough
to actually get in there and get a spot, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Weirk like it's really well, it is, yeah, and I
spent when the other countries put their hand up to
say we'd love to attend, and you obviously then invite
them to say a few words. So they all spoke
really well about watching what Australia was doing, and they're
they're continuing to watch closely about what happens on December
the tenth and how we move forward with it. It's
going to take time and it might be perfect, but
we'll get there. So I think that was the important message.
Speaker 6 (28:31):
Can we just did anyone hear the word radio and
legend together at the start of them?
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Did you write?
Speaker 3 (28:38):
I wrote that Anika Wells.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
And she read it out word for word.
Speaker 9 (28:44):
That was incredible. But you know what you are. You
are a legend and I know it's not just you.
There's an entire team and even the Nova team who
are over there working at the moment, but I was
absolutely I was thinking in the middle of the night
because I I didn't sleep very well last night, and
I was thinking of you guys over there, and I
was thinking about how we don't as a parent, and
(29:06):
I have an eleven year old daughter who like everything's
changing for her, you know, And I'm thankful that she's
on this side of asking for phones and social media,
and I'm sure that then the transition will be a
little easier for me. But I thought, you know what, Luckily,
for a lot of parents, we won't actually know the
(29:30):
impact of this.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
We won't.
Speaker 9 (29:32):
But how can I explain what I was What I'm
trying to articulate is that the thirty six months that
we've been given, we're not going to know how wonderful
it is because we won't have the trauma and the
tragedy and the impact of it not happening. Does that
(29:56):
make sense? And it made me feel really emotional. And
so to everyone that's made this happen, and we've we've
we've stood beside you, we're from watched you work so
hard over this time. I you know, I can't speak
for all parents, or people, or young young girls or
young kids, but like, thank you, thank you so much
(30:18):
for no I appreciate it, you know, helping helping us
parent in the way that we would really like to.
Speaker 6 (30:23):
Yeah, we're all trying our best parents.

Speaker 14 (31:07):
That are Crow? What's happening? An extra cast member of
this show.
Speaker 6 (31:12):
You are mate.
Speaker 5 (31:12):
You've been on many times and we we thought we
had to get you on the day before the Grand Final, Brownie.
Speaker 6 (31:19):
I mean, what are the nerves like?
Speaker 5 (31:20):
I mean you you do have the parade through Melbourne,
they have a public holiday down there. How how do
you get much sleep the night before a GF Brown Well, as.
Speaker 14 (31:31):
Long as your tickets are sort of out titchy. That's
the main thing, yes, because that's I'm from the country.
They bred like rabbits out in the country, so I've
got a big family. And when the old means on
the phone saying I know tickets for his cousin and
that cousin I made, I've never heard about it, he goes, well,
they're part of the thing. We say, you need to
get them ticket.
Speaker 5 (31:52):
It is the premiere sporting event in Australia. It's the
AFL Grand Final and Brownie, I know your Brisbane Lions.
Speaker 6 (32:00):
They've been there before, they won it last year.
Speaker 5 (32:02):
But I'll tell you what, They're going to have to
play at their best and this is going to be
a scrap fight because I've never seen a team in
better form than the Geelong Cats coming into this gs Yah.
Speaker 14 (32:12):
They're red. So I think the awfully support is one
of the best Garden Last year brisb were awesome. It
hasn't been you loved it, but Sydney were disappointing. But
I expect this one to be a lot cligher than that.
I played Echails three weeks ago, but I think that
actually helps Brisbane because I think Brisbane can make some
adjustments and catch alongshide their head. So they happened to
(32:34):
ask in two down and three. We lost their first
ball Collingwood and then Big Belton the Grand Final three
weeks later. So I felt as he was going into
that game, I'm just talking around, oh Coachway Matthews that
we're a lot better prepared the second time round. So
fingers crossed the lines. The same thing happens.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
Can you give us give us a tip for the
Norm Smith Metal best player on the ground, Brownie here,
do you think I'm.
Speaker 14 (32:54):
A Danes or I'm going to go for so? I
mean actually think yeah, the thinker belt, he's he's a beauty,
he's a gun swinger. He'll get plenty of kicks, and
maybe one of the younger fellas in Darcy Wilmot, who's
an absolute start, good real celebration to the match to
kick one or to draw the attention of the Norse
Metal voters. So yeah, and obviously I'm back in the line.
(33:16):
So he's got to go with the heart stick with
the heart hits.
Speaker 6 (33:19):
Yeah mate, you do?
Speaker 5 (33:20):
