the local government association said that from march to august 2020, 4 million people in households experienced food insecurity. anybody that's poor and has been suffering, covid's tenfolded it. i had to get loans out so we could eat and pay the bills. food parcel, pete. thank you. for pete, an issue with his family's benefits meant payday loans and financial crisis. how much were you in debt for? well over £1,000. got it down now to £200, £300. what stress did that do to you? some stuff, it's depression because of it, and so does my wife. you feel like you don't count. you're just a number. i go into houses and i sometimes have children ripping the bags open to get at the food as i carry them into the door. and it's not all right, that. that's not all right. and it wasn't as bad as that before the virus. pastor mick says he's hearing more and more of these stories. we're trying to fetch a bit of hope to people's lives. the unfairness of health deprivation. i feel angry because people aren't listening. what has coronavirus meant for your care? it stopped it. i'm supposed to have a b

their politicians, from their prime minister, their fight between the federal and local governments and the tennis associationo you make of the fact that he's become such a lightning rod in all this? i suppose, you know, patrick, you and i both know watching sports here in the united states, people like kyrie irving, aaron rodgers, some of these high-profile athletes who have dug in their heels on this covid issue, novak djokovic knew this was going to be controversial, i would assume, going to australia being unvaccinated. >> there is no doubt he knew it. as phil pointed out in his report, it took him a long time to get that positive test. there may be some question about the validity, at least in the officials down under in australia, about the validity about that covid test. i'll be interested to see if that becomes a point of discussion during this appeal that is now ongoing. but look, of course, novak djokovic, kyrie irving, aaron rodgers, they have the right to say they don't want to take the vaccine, but they don't necessarily have the right to do what all of us -- we've all had to make decisions, jim,

that during this period the federal government hid a lot of its power by operating through these other networks and forms. so voluntary associations state and local governments and that this was kind of an intentional move on their part to kind of not worry americans about this overly powerful central government. i actually tend to think that there's less intentionality involved the image that comes to my mind. at least we're looking at the us post is more like fantasia and mickey mouse where he starts doing the magic thing and then broomsticks start appearing and then dumping water everywhere and you can't control it and it's just kind of spinning out of control. on going back to the previous question, right? local communities are the ones driving. it's expansion and really in charge of its operations. and so i think it forces it. so we reconsider like what is the state? we oftentimes imbue it with a sense of intentionality top-down nature that sometimes i'm a little skeptical about just how much control they had during the time. and so i think discontinues through the 20th century as well. they're all sorts of different ways in which the federa

government and the tennis association of australia. because all these permissions went through the tennis association. they provided federal and local authorities in victoria with requests. we never had to deal with politics. our politics is tennis, of course we expect no back to when the 21st grand slam and the 10th australian open. other members of it, novak jacobus, his family also met the media for a press conference in serbia, listening to it for us was boris malozuski, serbian canadian journalist. no, my job, which is family, said that there is no reason to be optimistic after several days of what they described as going through hell. no joke which his mom has said that this victory in the court case in melbourne is a greater victory than any grand slam that nobody joke, which has one in the past 2 years. while his father has said that this isn't just a victory for novak a joke of issue, he says, doesn't belong just to the serbian people but to all humanity. but this is a victory for free speech and freedom of choice. so essentially, the family has said that a joke of h hm followed all the rules that were set out by australia,

to do is spend six weeks stomping around association while labour accuse you of neglecting government. i think the ideal timeline would be to wait for the localat's the best time to do it. the question is whether it becomes untenable to keep boris johnson and post long enough to get there. do you think it is going to make a difference to the timeline of what happens given that many of these issues have already been aired and discussed at length? i issues have already been aired and discussed at length?— discussed at length? i don't think so in the short _ discussed at length? i don't think so in the short term. _ discussed at length? i don't think so in the short term. i _ discussed at length? i don't think so in the short term. i think i discussed at length? i don't think so in the short term. i think that| so in the short term. i think that would probably be the equivalent. but i don't think she will. i think that the people are may be over egging the impact of this report, but it's going to contribute to a growing sense that the momentum is behind the since this is the end of borisjohnson's premiership. and boris johnson's premiership. and
