Ben?

At present, the Australian laws don't allow access for voluntary assisted dying.

There's a requirement to have both decision-making capacity but also be approaching the end of life and having a medical condition that's advanced.

So those two criteria are generally not met at the same time.

It's an issue which I think comes up repeatedly around kitchen tables in parliaments and in public debates.

It's something that people are very, very keen to see considered.

We do have a research project, which working with colleagues, Lindy Wilmot, Casey Haining, to try and understand what Australians' perspectives are on this issue.

Well, Ben, that's really what your research found, isn't it?

really what your research found, isn't it?

How did these new laws take these factors into account?

The process of passing the law included an expert advisory group panel which produced a report which thought deeply about the very specific and particular context in the Northern Territory.

And it was followed by a parliamentary committee which also spent a great deal of time thinking about what the particular needs of the Northern Territory population would be.

And as you noted, 30% of the Northern Territory population are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

I'm speaking over 200 languages.

So some of the things in the Northern Territory law aim to make sure that it's culturally appropriate.

And one of those is that a patient is able to make their formal request for voluntary assisted dying, either in writing or by video.

Can you tell me a bit about why this is? Why are people calling for this change?

How much do those laws vary state to state? And what are the laws, Ben?

Yes, of course.

It, it has been a, quite a remarkable change wh- when you think about it.

So Victoria was the first to pass this law in two thousand and seventeen, came into force in two thousand and nineteen.

And seven jurisdictions, Australian jurisdictions in total have, have followed in a relatively short period of time.

It, it is a, it's a, it's a very significant and remarkable change over quite a short period of time.

You're correct that the Northern Territory does not yet have a law, but it did last week introduce a bill into the parliament, and the media reports suggest that there is sufficient political support for that bill to pass.

And what are some of the other things that your research has highlighted that has either surprised you or really keeps coming up time and time again as something that might be a misconception in this space?

Spent hours on

it.

And you'd buy them.

And that was my first go at it.

We wrote our own policy.

I still have it.

I look at it occasionally and smile.

Is that how you're seeing this AI future as well? And robotics and AI, is it? And if you can share like what you foresee as- Yeah,

But, like, do you mean, like, longer than a year contract or, like, having exclusivity? Like, what would you say?

Yeah, I don't know that the length of the contract matters necessarily, depending on what your goals are and stuff.

But, like, for us and a lot of these, like, independent educator people, it's important to, like, keep your autonomy, like, that you can go and do other things.

Like, you're exclusive for this or this, like, you know, wetline, styling, you know, color, tools, whatever.

But, like, you're still allowed to go and do stuff as your own self and like if you want to like go and and present at like an independent show like like our show fancy fest that we do we like bring people in with no like no like artists or um company like sponsorship or whatever everybody's just independent as whoever they are you can come and use whatever stuff you want and talk about it or whatever but you know it's not like necessarily sponsored by like any particular brand that would

And

I just I did some haircuts there.

And then we didn't all the way like meet or whatever, I guess, at that moment.

Yeah

...

it, so it runs season by season.

It's now simplified.

Each season they'll look at, um, they'll, they'll take an assessment basically at the start of the season.

So I think it's around end of June, sometime in July.

They'll say, "These are your predicted revenues for the year.

Uh, and a final couple where Nick Boyce says, "If the club are expe- experiencing cashflow issues while only repaying £30 million per year, how are we expected to repay the principal amount when due while still investing suf- sufficiently in the squad?"

Yep

But in summary, Ben, where did we come out of that and what kind of headroom do we have there?

Yeah, so as you say, we've covered it in a bit more detail on recent pods, so I won't go crazy on it.

But just as a reminder to people, we're switching from PSR to SCR, which focuses more.

This is the sort of copying UEFA's score cost ratio regulations.

And all that does is focus more on football spends, takes us away from this three year cycle thing, which can muddy the water a bit and does a season by season analysis.

uh tally up of all of your revenue versus all of the money you're spending on things like players wages so amortization wages and agents fees and then it does a ratio of that what percentage of your revenue can you spend you can spend 70 if you're in a way for competition 85 if you're not there's a bit of extra wiggle room for clubs to sort of try and catch up basically so so yeah it gives you it gives you a sort of season by season gauge on what you are allowed to spend for spurs i think swiss ramble estimated that we're at about 55 as at the last account so fairly healthy 15 headroom there and you know given you can amortize your transfer transfer fees as we've covered before if you spend 50 million you amortize that over five years that's going to add 10 million onto that so We've got a decent amount of headroom, I'd say.

So we're not particularly restricted by SCR just now, just as we weren't particularly restricted by PSR.

When you look at our accounts, what do you think, where are we in terms of the ability to use that money?
