We are so so thrilled that you are here tonight for the diversity at the frontier gender equality in space conference signature event. Now for those of you who haven't been part of our wonderful event and conference that we have had all day today as well as workshops that were held yesterday with the ACT government. I am so thrilled to tell you that this is the first event of its kind in Australia. An event where we can draw a line in the sand and mark a time for which diversity and inclusion, belonging, equity and equality are foregrounded as significant priorities in the space sector where we can embed them well on into the future. I'm Dr Elise Stevenson. I'm the Deputy Director of the Global Institute for Women's Leadership here at the ANU and one of the organisers of this conference together with my colleagues Dr Cassandra Stier and Professor Meredith Nash. The Global Institute for Women's Leadership is a research institute that was founded and is chaired by our former first and only female Prime Minister Julia Gillard. It exists to be a leading institute around gender equality and women's leadership across all kinds of different spheres and workplaces, not just here in Australia but also globally. We exist to create an evidence base, one that is intersectional that considers gender as a spectrum that looks at race and ethnicity, disability, LGBTIQ plus status and much more. We together with ANU Institute for Space have partnered and come together to create this conference to really meet a gap in our conversations and dialogue, our policy and our action here in Australia and also to be part of a leading conversation globally. We are so thrilled that we were able to put on this event with the wonderful support of the ACT Government as our major sponsor who have really demonstrated through their support their values aligned commitment to the space sector and I'm very thrilled that we'll also be hearing from the Chief Minister a little bit later this evening. We also have the support of the Australian Space Agency, thank you and as we heard from today the Australian Space Agency has committed to producing a diversity and inclusion statement for the space sector which we are very very thrilled to lead here. We also give our thanks to the US Embassy in Australia and the US Government for their ongoing support and commitment and partnership to bilateral strength around diversity and inclusion in space, to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade who really act as a leading body internationally and who are well recognised as leaders in gender equality in all kinds of international affairs and to the Australian Academy of Sciences for their support in venue and in spaces today. Now on March 25, 2019 NASA announced it would launch its first all-female spacewalk of two women at the International Space Station. Days after the announcement was made the space walk, this historic spacewalk was cancelled because there weren't enough uniforms or spacesuits to fit the women. Now months later the historic walk did take place but the incident highlighted the gender gap that remains in space. Now given space 2.0 is bringing unprecedented opportunities for nations and building on humanity's first endeavours to reach space by increasing accessibility, increasing the actors improving technology and really rapidly building on growth in the space industry, we must be very intentional in ensuring that our technological progress does not outpace our social values. Right, we've got to get it right from the start. Whilst we know that women's inclusion in international affairs results in better decision making and higher levels of collaboration and consensus and the business case for diversity has well and truly been made, increased productivity, innovation, reducing group think, we've gone through it all in extensive detail today. Currently this business case whether on moral or strategic grounds is not guaranteed. Progress that we are seeing today is not guaranteed. So I'm very thrilled that we are able to hold this event and I'm deeply grateful to you all for turning up here tonight. To start off this evening it is really important that we acknowledge the space in which we gather and the deep history that has come with this land. I think that it is really imperative that we do not replete the mistakes of the past when it comes to the space sector. With that in mind it is my absolute pleasure to introduce Aunty Matilda House, Dr Aunty Matilda House, who will be joining us here today to give the welcome to country. Remember years and years ago when all you kids, you would remember Andrew Barr, when you was a kid you used to rush home to watch Lost in Space. Do you all remember that? It's the age group of Andrew Barr now. Come on, you've got to admit it. That's what we're all here tonight to learn from that robot. What did it say every time? Come on, do you know? God, and here we are. Here we are. But only this time it's diversity. To make sure everybody is going to be part of that whole uniformed what you are all doing. And I believe that you should go to everywhere around Australia to promote this wonderful, wonderful, wonderful thing what you are doing tonight. Lost in Space may have been great then as my kids were watching that all the time. But who would have thought and then come that other big show, you know? I don't know. But anyways, but here we are in Australia and leading, we're leading the nations because it was just said about the United States and others that are going to be joining and giving us help to maintain and always be there for us if needed. But having women standing side by side is what we always want to make sure that the diversity is there for all the agendas, male and female. Because this is what we need and we have been getting it but not as much as what we do in this subject of Lost in Space.  I've been lost in space. I've been running around all bloody day with a seven-year-old. And I am my great-granddaughter. And oh my God, I'm so tired. And I want to apologize that as soon as I'm finished I'm out the door. Oh, sorry. I really am sorry. But she'll be waiting up for me to come home. And that's what we do as parents, grandfathers, grandmothers, great-grandheirs, which I am. And that's what I'll be doing. I'm sorry but I'm going to leave you to Andrew Barr and all the things that he knows about Lost in Space because, you know, we have the most wonderful, wonderful station that we have here in Australia. And that's on our land, on the land of my land, the Nambry people, out there tippin' billa. Is it still there, Andrew? It is. Well, could have went off Lost in Space. Who knows. And then out at that other place out there because when I was on the Heritage Council we used to visit that as well. So yes, the Australian Capital Territory has been involved and will always be involved. And that makes me a very proud canberran. It makes me a very proud canberran to know that we are part and parcel of everything that's happening here tonight and other spaceships that are flying around as well. Have a great evening, enjoy yourselves and get Lost in Space. Amazing. I think that that is probably the best welcome to country I've ever heard. So I think get Lost in Space, everyone. It is my greatest honour to be able to introduce our next speaker. Ms Andrew Barr has led a positive agenda for Canberra since being elected ACT Chief Minister in 2014. He has improved the lives of Canberrans through major changes to the ACT's tax system, leading the nation on climate action, reaching 100% renewable electricity and making Canberra the most LGBTIQ plus friendly city in Australia. Andrew has outlined his economic priorities in Canberra Switched On which builds on Canberra's status as a progressive and sustainable city that values people and ideas. The innovative and diverse business ecosystem that is developed under his leadership provides a strong foundation for the ACT to achieve and drive these priorities forwards. We're so honoured to have you over to you, Chief Minister. Thank you very much, Elise, for that very generous introduction. I know there's no one applauded tax reform, but the the treasury in me is used to that. Can I thank Adam Attilda too for the welcome to country? Although she perhaps might have slightly aged me a little. I think Lost in Space was on its 10th repeat by the time I was coming home to watch more of a Doctor Who and Star Trek guide myself. But can I thank the Global Institute for Women's Leadership, the ANU, the various Australian government and US government agencies for their support of this event and we're delighted as a territory government to be a major sponsor. The origins of this in some regard stem back to an Australian Space Awards event that had amongst the worst gender balance of any event I've attended this century. And in talking with Kate Lundy and others that night, I said we need to do something about this and this is a magnificent opportunity for the ACT to again show national leadership. So that's why I am here. That's why we as a government are sponsoring this event and that's what I want to talk to you about tonight. This is a wonderful opportunity, not just this evening's event but the number of days associated with the conference to bring together the local industry, academia, peak bodies and the wider community to engage and to find some solutions to a pretty stark gender imbalance in the space industry and it is stark. I'm advised that of the 566 people who have travelled into space, not even 12% of them have been women. Currently only one in five of the jobs in the space sector are held by women. There is still a very persistent gendered use of language when talking about matters of space from one giant leap for mankind to unmanned aircraft. The language that we use is important and it does reflect the challenges but I think also the opportunities that we now have. We know there's a lot of work to be done but I'm confident that Canberra's space industry provides a strong base for which to lead that work across our country. Now this city has had a long and direct involvement with some of the biggest events in international space exploration from providing critical support to the Apollo 11 missions to the Phoenix landing on Mars. 1973 I think the ABC have been reporting on this today was when one of the deep space dishes at Tidbinbilla that Aunty Matilda referred to was opened by then Prime Minister Gough Whitlam. As to whether it is looking better than this 1973 deep dish is another matter but we're both in need of some midlife repairs but I think it demonstrates a long run commitment and history for this city and this reflects now in what we see in 2023 that our space industry is uniting players across government across industry our education institutions and our research community. We have deep connections at all levels of government academia research institutions and out into the business community small and large with an aligned agenda common goals for where we want to take and develop our local space industry. Our city is home to two of Australia's leading space research institutions. They've been consistently developing spin-off companies that have been producing commercially viable products that are at the cutting edge of technology and research. Our space facilities in Canberra are key enablers of future space missions. They're able to meet and provide professional mission assurance standards and principles unlike anywhere else in our nation. So this is an ecosystem that can provide end-to-end capability for design, manufacture, operation, test verification and delivery of a full range of space products and services. And because of all of this alignment and capability, our industry capability is internationally renowned. Our research and education institutions, our innovative local businesses, our global exporters are making a significant contribution to the Australian and to the international industry. So there is a real sense of momentum at this point in time and excitement around the range of projects and opportunities that are being undertaken in Canberra. But one thing is holding us back and it is clear that to continue this growth, we need to diversify and expand the space workforce. We know that increasing diversity will bring new ideas and voices into this ecosystem and will lead to better outcomes for our community, for our economy and for our environment. We know that the space industry is experiencing the same sorts of skill shortages and challenges that so many parts of the Australian economy are currently experiencing. The unemployment data that came out today showed this little territory has the lowest unemployment rate in Australia and we have nearly twice as many job vacancies as there are unemployed people in Canberra at the moment. So we have what economists would call an acute skill shortage and full employment. Now, there's always something wrong in the economy. That is a fact, it's a pretty dismal science economics. But this is perhaps the sort of problem you want to have. There's a lot of demand for skills and some amazing opportunities for our education institutions and many of the partners within this space ecosystem if we get this right to be a real powerhouse in our nation. Greater diversity and a quality of access have to be at the centre of our collective effort to build and maintain a skilled workforce into the future. So we're keenly aware of the benefits and the need to diversify and that's why we bring this values based approach to space industry development in Canberra. We think this approach is responsible, it's sustainable but most importantly it is equitable. We seek to promote a culture that provides equitable access that encourages women, young people and First Nations people into long-term rewarding careers in the space industry. So we want space to be a viable and obvious career pathway. We want people to be challenged, to be interested. We want them to be involved and we want voices heard and contributions valued. Now for many people the journey to space starts at school so that's why the ACT government has established an Academy of Future Skills which is providing our teachers and our schools with additional support in STEM education. We're providing grants to schools to support more young women and girls to get involved in subjects that they are underrepresented in and where we know the jobs of tomorrow are going to require those skills. But I think the commitment needs to extend beyond schools and into the workforce and the broader economy. So we're committed to inclusive innovation and knowledge based economic growth and to achieve those goals diversity is at the heart of delivery. Now innovation flourishes in our city because we're connected. It's relatively easy to build networks in this city and our diversity and our progressive values mean more and more that Canberra is a focal point and a place that people are drawn to as a centre of inclusive innovation and these are the priorities and the values that underpin our switched on economic development strategy. This sets out some short-term priorities for when I released it in several years ago for the first half of this decade but sets a platform for where we want to take the space industry as part of Canberra's knowledge economy. We're going to further this work through the release of a specific space industry strategy this year and so the ideas and input that comes from this conference will be important in shaping that document but we want the strategy to focus on promoting a culture that offers fair access that encourages people of diverse backgrounds into space careers but also understands and seeks to focus on some specific groups to address gender imbalance to support a pathway for younger people and to particularly focus on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices and economic participation. So we seek to support and encourage this through education and training pathways as I've touched on at schools but also in higher education settings and I think we need to measure and track our progress. If you can't measure and demonstrate improvement we're not pursuing the right policy agenda and so I look to the Australian STEM Equity Monitor to give us a sense of the current state of gender equity in this area. It's a pretty reliable measure of changes and trends and what it's showing pre-pandemic anyway was that women made up less than a quarter of students studying STEM subjects in 2019. So I go back to the point about one in five jobs in space and now at only one in four of the students studying quite relevant subjects for a career in this industry only one in four were women in 2019. Five years after graduating men with a STEM qualification were nearly two times more likely to be working in an occupation that required those STEM skills compared to their female counterparts and there was this will surprise none in the room a significant gender pay gap between qualified men and women working in STEM areas that in 2020 was nearly $30,000 per annum. So that's a pretty stark set of figures data and provides us with a challenge but also a pretty clear pathway to how we can address these imbalances clearly starts at school higher education provides a wonderful opportunity to quickly bridge a gap and then there is a real onus on employers in this area to address the gender pay gap so attracting women and girls to STEM providing an environment for them to thrive is a shared responsibility it's one that we take on as a major provider of education and training in our city but we will need partners we will need businesses to sign up to this so there's a lot of work to do in short but it's important that we're talking about it we know the gaps we need to close we know the areas we need to focus on and with support from our level of government from the Commonwealth Government from all of the institutional partners within our space ecosystem and with some really amazing role models already thriving in the space sector I'm confident we can get there and hopefully get there really soon so I'm asking you all to join us in this endeavour it will only happen through collective effort and action and goodwill let's make it happen thank you for being part of tonight well there's the call to action thank you so much Chief Minister and now it is my utmost pleasure to be able to introduce to you our wonderful speakers for tonight I will introduce our speakers and I would encourage them to walk up to the stage and I will join them and we'll have a bit of a moderated discussion covering a little bit about what we discussed here today but also what are the critical messages that are needed going forwards so firstly I'm very honoured to be able to introduce the ambasta Australia's ambassador for gender equality Stephanie Copas Campbell as one of our honoured guests tonight thank you so much Stephanie for joining us we we are also very very honoured to be joined by an amazing First Nations PhD candidate who's working on the space sector and space sector's relationship and engagement with First Nations communities particularly around launch and launch sites Carolyn Craven all the way from the United States we are also very very honoured here to have tonight the very first gender advisor for women peace and security to the United States a space force Lieutenant Colonel Kristen Clark so so today I'm assuming people can hear me great today we learned all kinds of things we learned that progress is not guaranteed we learned and Chief Minister has repeated now that women still only represent one in five in the industry or the wider space sector and also that that has been the case for over 30 years we know that space is everywhere we know that the technologies that we use on a day-to-day basis from GPS to memory foam to artificial limbs and all other things are all around us we're not just talking about space as something that is up in the sky it is down here and our sector and technologies are deeply earth based and we also learned that there are a lot of new institutions from United States space force Australian space command as well as our Australian space agency which means that we have an obligation and an opportunity to get things right from the start what I want to know though is that we are at this moment in time and we have not achieved gender equality still or other forms of diversity and inclusion we're currently seeing a perpetuation of some of our more earth based and historic inequalities in the national space sector and globally why are we still fighting this battle and what are some of the ramifications for the future Stephanie can I throw to you first yes can you hear me it's wonderful to be here good evening I first want to remark the chief minister noted that he went to a space conference and it was heavily dominated by men so I look around this room and I have to say it's heavily dominated by women and that's wonderful I spent a good deal of my career working in the resource sector trying to give their money to communities and it was heavily male dominant I'll talk more about that in a moment because there's a lot of parallels but I would go to conferences and I'd be the only woman on stage it'd be one of the few women in the audiences and I would sit there and say we need more women we need more women we need more women I'm in this role and I go to a lot of conferences about women and I sit and I say we need more men we need more men we need more men so it seems to be when we're talking about women we're often talking to other women and whilst that's important we can't in this space achieve gender equality without men and we can't achieve it without everyone and so I think the first thing is how do we start to look at this in a very inclusive way in a way that when we start to exclude people when we talk about it that's where we're also starting to get some of that pushback and we can talk about that a bit more so thank you to all the men that are here today it's very important to have you in the room you know across the board I often say that with gender equality it's it's not just the right thing to do and of course it is women and girls rights and women in all the diversity and the rights it's human right it's a universal human right but it's absolutely the smart thing to do and I do believe that we need to ensure in all of our conversations we understand fundamentally why that is the case we cannot tackle let's just take climate change we cannot tackle the sticky wicked problem of climate change if we are ignoring the contribution that the brain power of half of our planet can make to that we just can't do it we are not going to tackle the sticky problem of climate change if we are not looking at the diversity of thinking and innovation of ideas that women and girls bring in addition to the different ideas that men and boys bring to that we're not going to tackle it if we don't look at the impact and the barriers that tend to be greater on women and girls than men and boys in many areas so we just can't have any sort of economic social human development we can't tackle the greatest threats that that are facing us as humanity without looking and addressing and being serious about gender equality it underpins everything so I think having those dialogues in an inclusive way and in doing it in a way that we are talking about it strategically as well as a human right but but strategically is really really important thanks so much Stephanie I mean I completely agree you know this isn't just a space sector issue but I think the ramifications of getting it wrong and also the opportunity of getting it right are really quite critical and major um Caroline I'm going to go to you you know we talked a lot today about the voices that are being heard and the voices that aren't being heard in the space sector you work particularly with First Nations communities in the space sector around launch and launch sites how can we make sure that a diversity of people and perspectives are represented are heard are listened to are part of the decision-making tables what are your perspectives it's a big question to answer obviously First Nations Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander peoples have been trying to do this for some time outside of launching I guess I have the power to be able to do that within launching and hence this is my focus I would argue that that needs to be broadened in many areas across Australia and lives that you know in our society and where it affects Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander lives and it does the best in terms of answering the question I think to start off with we've got to listen I mean that's what we're screaming out for we're screaming out for a voice whether you agree with the voice to parliament that's a separate issue it can't be argued though I think it's not disputed that we would like to be counted equally in with equality we want to be heard we it affects us profoundly it launching in particular if I look at that because that's obviously my PhD topic that will profoundly affect Aboriginal lives and Torres Strait Islanders it will inevitably it can have a positive outcome if we do it correctly or it can have a negative one if we don't what I fear is that there is no real governance for that at the moment and there we have a we will have the gap and the gap will become bigger as time passes so we need to capture that now and I've heard that in the speeches so thanks so much and and I completely agree I guess we've got a we've got a benchmark to go off in terms of the mining sector has has been there done that colonization has done absolutely dreadful things to Australia there's this kind of moment in which we have to be quite reflective and really yeah put our ear to the ground you know listen to communities and understand their perspectives and also look at the critical failures because that that is ultimately what they have been and there's a lot of similarities in the space sector that I fear that maybe we're not quite good enough yet at being able to deal with Kristen your position in Space Force is quite historic it is it is quite an you know a remarkable position that we are able to be at this point in time where we have a new institution and this has been prioritized at the highest levels right from the start now you are gender advisor for women peace and security in particular and for those of you who may not be so familiar the United Nations in 2000 issued kind of a women peace and security security council resolution which was really a landmark you know international agreement which basically for the first time ever was made the direct link between gender equality and women's representation and inclusion and peace and and basically recovery post-conflict and the prevention of violence now for you Kristen how do you think that things like the women peace and security agenda pave the way for gender equality in the space sector yeah so first I'll thank you for the invite this evening yeah I came here from you know from DC to sit on the panel and have a you know be in the workshops this week so I really do appreciate that so yeah the space forces is new very new we're three so you know we're the youngest of the services we're the smallest of the services by by far so we're trying to do it right we're trying to make sure we get into the ground floor and have the you know someday hopefully the 5050 split of men women in in our service so that's something that you know our leadership is striving for but to do that we also have to get the word out for the different services so in response to the 2000 the UN my congress has then tasked all the services to to implement WPS indoor indoor our service every service is looking at it differently the army at so much larger than the space force has a different way but so for us it's it's training our senior leaders it's it's ensuring that we are most senior leadership and men and women in senior leadership are there and support WPS which we've been doing past couple months really heavy in the space force as far as briefing but then it's also training our folks training the guardians of the space force to understand what WPS is and getting into that ground level to ensure that these ideas of gender equity getting met you know women to the table with a voice not just at the table but with a voice and ensuring that our our male counterparts listen to us and also provide our junior officers our junior listed and our in our young civilians that that training and that equity at the table so that's how we're trying to do it in the space force yeah I mean and I think it's fantastic I think that one of the things that always blows my mind about the wind pieces security agendas yeah it's 20 years old and actually really and and my colleague Dr Cassandra steer and I have been working on kind of how would we translate this agenda to space security and and there's there is literally no literature in terms of academic research out there that we can find about how we would apply this to space security so we are really at the frontier of actually we don't need to reinvent the wheel but what the women peace and security agenda does allow is for agencies and countries to look internally at their defense workforces their foreign affairs you know you know lots of their elements of their workforces to see what are they representative and when we are negotiating for peace or for conflict or for anything in between that women are in the room but secondly that we apply a gender lens to when things go wrong you know climate change obviously is a threat melt multiplier multiplier for gender inequality making things much much worse but we also see that you know when things like satellites are targeted in in war that can knock them out it can have ramifications for civilians and militaries but we know because of the entrenched gender inequalities in the world that that is likely to have a greater effect on women and girls particularly when we come to telecommunications to education a whole lot of different ramifications so it's I think it's really remarkable and I think it's a it's phenomenal that we do have this commitment from the Space Force if I can jump to you Stephanie because you you do work a lot in kind of this ambassadorial role and really I suppose you know Australia has been seen in many ways as a leader in this space but what do you think that Australia's role could be when it comes to leading on gender equality diversity you know inclusion and equity in the space sector internationally and what would you like to see from our international counterparts around this area so we and we are a leader we we start at harm and I love the fact that our prime minister very strategically put our minister for finance and our minister for women in the same position and have started on the front for addressing gender pay gaps looking at issues like STEM on domestic violence etc and that's carried right over into the international setting with our foreign policy which pursues the empowerment of women and girls as a top priority so within that we also of course have signed all five of the core space treaties I think all in a handful of nations have done that so we are in a powerful position to combine the two priorities and we're doing so we can play a really important role in multilateral settings and working with like-minded countries which we do need to bring on board particularly given in what we're seeing in multilateral settings is a significant and concerning gender pushback in in language and international treaties and in building consensus and so we need to work with like-minded and we can have a real voice including in the in the space in multilateral and regional forms but importantly through our foreign policy through our trade policy through our development cooperation through some of the different ways we're looking at financing investment into women's businesses and women's activities we really can drive women's empowerment which is the basis for everything we're doing across every space including this particular space space and in doing so we are working through our development cooperation program for example to improve access to STEM for for boys and girls but with with a particular focus on getting more girls into STEM and more generally looking at at women's equality we're working across the business sector including the tech sector to look at ways to live barriers so that more women can participate etc so I think just starting with championing women's empowerment in everything that we do which is the basis for everything else is really important and of course we're absolute leaders in the women peace and security space as well so really we need we need more than ever our like-minded partners to work with us to fight hard I mean you mentioned in in your um your introductory remarks that we can't assume that progress is linear and we absolutely cannot rest on our morals progress is not linear and that pushback is real and it's frightening and so in everything we do we need to work with like-minded and encourage them to step out and to fight for this in every space including space space yeah thank you for mentioning that too I think that backlash is a it's a really important conversation that we perhaps aren't having enough of but that is it's having real um you know impacts on on all kinds of bodies that have been traditionally marginalised in all kinds of sectors but I think you know in sectors that have high visibility like the space sector there are there are kind of unique um challenges that come with that high visibility um Caroline if I can go to you so my question comes in two parts here firstly um thinking about policy is there any big messages that you would have for for government or for industry when it comes to First Nations engagement in space sector and secondly any advice for young people um young First Nations people in particular in in joining the space sector so to start off with the first question uh I think that governments have been consulted a lot I think uh Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander peoples have been talking to governments for a long time and felt like it doesn't get listened to now I understand that hopefully that'll change soon um but we don't know yet and I guess uh governments probably I mean I've worked for governments I've worked for different tiers of governments in Australia and um my experience is if we look at one person that's experience and gone through the system um there hasn't been a lot of support to get you there uh and so I mean I've got a science background I've got a hydrogeology background um I'm not in it um I'm I'm a lawyer but I don't have practicing certificate there's a reason for that what we've got to do and these these were all in government agencies so um we've got to really support women because women Indigenous women lead other Indigenous girls slash women through the system and we have more of their presence which means you know as we learn today if we don't have the cohort there we can't use that as an understanding for anything so governments really need to lead the way I always say that governments have to set the example because they're the gatekeepers of the country I mean they're ultimately the you know ultimate administrator so it's really their responsibility and they need to do that with honesty and with integrity so they have to mean it um and understand the benefits that Indigenous people bring to the to two governments to space to science to to any area really but understand what they can bring not just um you know I guess the tokenism that we are so used to I would like to see not our people not pigeonholed yeah um and actually be in positions of true leadership based on merit so we get to the top and we there's very few of us in leadership positions which is concerning obviously we don't get to make the decisions for our own people but also we can help our non-Indigenous Australia as well we've got lots to contribute there um to answer the second question will it kind of feeds into the first question because if you've got lots of say women and kids uh that I know I've worked in youth justice um and I've seen once they get in the system and unfortunately we're overrepresented in that system even from I mean in in in South Australia the responsible criminal age of responsibility is from 10 it's way too young I notice that the Northern Territory have actually made a change on that we need to look at that but we need to look at all the institutionalized laws and policies in place that stop that and get out of that thinking because those kids once they are in the system and they might be in the system not at no fault of their own based on this you know intergenerational trauma they can't get out and what do we do about that in terms of if they get a record young even if they get a record young under the age of 18 and they've been handled with say like in South Australia they didn't go through the youth youth court system they get diverted into the family conferencing unit they still have a record with police police can still access that record their their career is now over if they want to ever go on the police when they're older they cannot do that so there's always that level of discrimination on top of already fundamental discrimination that's already got us there in the first place those things need to be changed we really need to have a long hard thing and think outside the square because if we don't we're going to constantly keep people and as you said today I winded up but as you said today you know those things we need to get security clearances right how are those kids ever got you're always going to have the lucky few the privileged few of Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander kids that didn't which is not the common that's not the norm the norm is the flip side unfortunately so how do we get those kids out of that system and once they're in it how do we get them out of it I've got some ideas um and I think but it it will absolutely take governments to be thinking outside of the square and not in this punitive mind that we've got and I think if anyone's interested in hearing those ideas I think follow up with Callan because this is a real opportunity and I think we do have to be quite networked in our approach and make sure we are building on each other as we take an approach forwards around these issues Kristen um as last question any general advice for women or people from historically marginalized groups looking to have a career in space what should they do what shouldn't they do yeah okay that's quite a question yeah um so so first off I just want to the ambassador's point um Australia really is a leader in WPS um I learned WPS when I went to Afghanistan and I saw it operationalized um from from the Australian forces and the New Zealand forces there uh then when the call came out uh at the Pentagon to have a WPS representative I raised my hand because I saw the good it really could do so I just want to say you know thank you for that so what to do so I'm I'm an aerospace engineer I'm a rock propulsion engineer uh don't don't let them tell you no I mean that's that's all in the short of it um yeah to get into the the space community um it's it's not an easy path always um you know just um you know you have to put your nose to the grindstone and study and and um you know try and try and get into the room I think sometimes getting into the room is the first step and then kind of like inching your way up to the table and then getting a seat at the table is the next step um and so that's kind of how I've always I've always done things um you know trying to to get your voice heard whether it's doing that extra a little bit of volunteer time or raising your hand for extra things and then getting there or you know studying a little extra hard or you know doing you know for the military giving a little extra PT to get noticed um you know it's it's all those different things and um you know in the engineering community there there aren't a lot of women I have gotten the question of why would a woman even want to do that um you know and and it's you know it's a hard because I want to because I want to make you know I want to make uh the rocket propulsion community better I want to launch rockets I want to provide defense and work with my partners in the nation so and and make the world a better place okay so so um hopefully that that answers it uh yeah don't take no for an answer um go out there and do good things I love that I've interviewed a lot of ambassadors and commanders and all kinds of amazing people across international affairs and that kind of resilience um approach you know it can be hard to hear because we don't want to always just put up with it but it it certainly is a message that comes across a lot and the last message I would probably leave you on is that you know in thinking about these issues whether that be from gender or disability or for ethnicity or anything else um we really have to make sure that we are focusing on fixing systems um as much as possible and not individuals we don't want to just fix women we don't want to fix disabled people we don't want to fix you know we really want to be there from institutional backgrounds and intervention points that we can make a tangible tangible difference on a wide scale um I'm going to hand over to our wonderful director professor Michelle Ryan to lead us in some kind of closing remarks um and comments before we wrap up this phenomenal panel Michelle over to you thank you so much Elise and I know I am not the person that was advertised on the tin so I don't have a Nobel Prize I'm not the vice chancellor of the university but I hope I'll do thank you so much can everyone just join me in thanking this fantastic panel I mean such a fascinating discussion and for me I think what I was particularly impressed by was the sort of breadth and depth of the expertise on our panel so we've got a First Nations and an academic research perspective we've got an engineering and US space force perspective we've got an ambassadorial and international relations perspective and I just I was just reflecting on the fact that this panel is sort of truly emblematic of the sort of expertise that is needed if we are going to truly diversify the space sector so I think this event tonight and the diversity at the frontier conference more generally I think it comes at a really crucial time we are really well positioned to shape this sort of growing industry in a way that aligns with the values that are important to us in a in a way that sort of welcomes and seeks out diversity both in the recognition of the diverse the benefits that diversity brings so a sort of business case for diversity but also really and I think almost import more importantly the moral imperative that we have for diversity and inclusion as well so I think here at the ANU and I'm channeling Brian Schmidt here at the moment so here at ANU we're really uniquely placed to support government and to support industry in delivering on these goals of diversity and inclusion I'm really proud to be the inaugural director of the Global Institute for Women's Leadership we call ourselves dual we call ourselves jewelers as well but just supporting a team that's working really closely together to bring about world leading research to bring about a translation of that research into practice and to collaborate with industry and government in in those sorts of ways and the sort of advocacy we do in events like this one to just make sure that the national conversation is on track and we do all of this work across a range of sectors including the space sector as well the ANU is also home to a really world leading group of space researchers we've got more than 130 million dollars worth of world-class space infrastructure as well ANU in spaces is really unique internationally really but it's a cross-disciplinary organization that connects the ANU space research with society's biggest challenges to really deliver positive impact as well so it's so exciting for me to see our two institutes working together to lead the way on how we can improve diversity in space we can connect governments we can bring industry together we can bring multiple multidisciplinary researchers to the table as well and really look at how we can bring about change and develop effective solutions and I think we've heard about some really concrete solutions here on the panel today and I think we've had some very strong calls to action as well so I just want to congratulate the fantastic organizers of this event Dr Elise Stevenson who's up here but we've also got other people that are a little bit more behind the scenes tonight's event so Dr Cassandra Stier and Professor Meredith Nash and all of the fabulous folks in the dual team that are wearing pink and gray t-shirts and are running around behind the scenes to get stuff done as well so I think I'm really excited to see where this event takes us I think this is not the end it feels like the end of this event but it's really the beginning of a much broader conversation so maybe one more thanks for this amazing panel and I'll get you back up really well thank you so much everyone I think Michelle really really said it and our wonderful panelists I mean I really I always wish that I had about two more hours that I could just drill down into their their brilliance and their expertise and their lived experience because this is really what it's what it's all about so just as some final final notes we are very very excited that a little bit later this month we'll be launching our podcast with Julia Gillard she has a podcast our podcast with one's own a room of one's own which is discussing all on diversity in space and you'll get to hear a bit more from myself as well as from Julia Gillard as we dive into these issues into a little bit more detail we also have a major study that is being undertaken currently so a big survey that you can participate in all around diversity and inclusion and accessibility and belonging in the space sector and we will be sending out details for that after this event and I really encourage you to please take part and please share it with everyone that you know because as I mentioned before we're really doing benchmarking here this is a really important initial mapping exercise finally we are going to have a little bit of merch available at the canapes and drinks if you want cool fluoro pink jewel mugs you know signed by Julia Gillard not quite but you know they look cool do check it out and also I encourage you to exit through the rear doors because we're heading up to ambush gallery for our canapes and drinks and we really hope that you can stick around there'll be a few jewel people directing you but essentially go through the doors at the back and through the corridor thank you so much thank you to the ACT government thank you to the Australian Space Agency Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade to the US Embassy in Australia to the Australian Academy of Sciences to our amazing partners here our speakers and to all of you here tonight for joining us and good night


Hi, I'm Adrian, and I'm going to come out of SysTemptap, and we can use it to do fun and questionable things. So, just a word about you.  So, I ended up playing with the Lipsy system after the last two years or so. And so, that's why I came to think of all two using it for doing interesting security, potentially security related stuff. I'm not a developer myself. Well, I can write code, but I'm not really a developer. And I'm just a system type user. And I'm not a VRF hater. That's probably because I don't really have a computer. I could follow the free software, use a good combo. Facebook. If you live in the Arlo area in Belgium, you probably want to check them out. It's a good place for a typical meeting. Yeah, I'm looking for jobs. Sorry, we are full, guys. I think we are full. Please, please, come here. It's way too much.   It's a supposedly fictional character. Yeah, we just enjoy abusing his users. So, yeah, the typical story is like the user coding. I mean, like, I don't have any more space in my own territory. So, yeah, I can fix that. And here I can do my own territory for you in the backup as well. So, you don't have to worry about free space anymore. Yeah, that's also the bastard operator from Elm. Elm users, you know, just delete their files and stuff.  Can you system tap? So, system tap is... If you look at the website, you have a nice description explaining how system tap is useful. Depending on tracing tool that will help you to figure out what functional and performance issues. And, but really, I like to think of it as like a system-wide code detection framework. So, yeah, if you start to think of it like that, that makes it more interesting. But, yeah, basically, you can just say anywhere in the system, I want this thing... I want to see what's up-move just there. Or you can also say I want to actually change all these parts of the code here at any point in the system. It's kernel, or application, or library, or whatever. And you don't have to rebuild the whole application or the kernel or anything. So, yeah, that's a pretty powerful dependent tool. And we'll see if you can do all the details about this. So, this presentation specifically is about the BRFH finding a new toy and system tap. And we see all the BRFH can use system tap to do interesting things. Yeah, this is the security level. But this is not actually really breaking any security because the BRFH is root already. And we are not trusting one boundary or anything. Everything we are going to see to do here, you can already do it with the root. The root for the interest. So, you don't really need system tap for that. But system tap makes things much easier. And we'll see some examples of that. So, yeah, there are two parts really. I'll start explaining system tap and see what it can do. And then we'll see some examples with demos if I can manage to look at them more. Questions so far? So, system tap, what it does really is you write a system tap script in a specific language. And just the step binary that converts that into C. And the C is compiled into a kernel module. And the module is loaded and stopped communicating with the module. So, in practice, you end up with something like this. We went stop with dash B so we can see actually what happens. So, yeah, the script is parsed and analyzed. And then it's translated into a temporary C file and written nice. And it's compiled into a kernel module that's loaded. And if your script is actually doing some output that could go there. And it would just be pretty abusive already. So, system tap is all about looking into certain things. So, we want to probe specific parts of the system. So, this is all about executing certain actions when something happens. So, that's the place where we want to execute the action. It's called the probe point. So, probe points, there are some examples of probe points. So, you can get an idea of where you can tap into the system. So, for example, you said whenever there's a read system pool starting or you have to do something or whenever we are returning from a close system pool or you can use white card and say whenever we are entering any function in the floppy module or you can say whenever we are returning from any function in the socket.c5 in the kernel or whenever we are hitting line 2917 in the scheduler. Some more examples. You can also say every 200 milliseconds, let's do something. Or whenever, but it's not restricted to kernel as well, you can say whenever we are entering any function in alas or whenever we are entering any function that has Manok in its name in the libc, you can do something. Or you can combine things with the co-op and say whenever we are entering any function in the kernel that has kini in the name or whenever we are returning from any function that has kini in the name. That would be a single, but that would be aggregated if you ask for a part in the script. And if you get into system type, just bring the friendly manual and you'll have much more details about all the props that are available. But that should give you an idea of what you can tap into. So the system type programming language is kind of C above old and obviously you are executing actions whenever we are hitting something that pretty old style. There are many facilities, but I'm not going to mention details, but the presentation about that, you have associative arrays, the aggregate of statistical data that's pretty useful if you do the filing. We are not talking about that today. There are many, many helper functions, both protein within the language and available as libraries, that's called a tab set, that's system type scripts that are reusable for programming. But if you want the full details, go with the manual. So some example of helper function to give you an idea again. I think most of these are pretty obvious. So we're going to do what process we are in, what thread we are in, what is the name of the current process. Pro-franc maybe can be detailed. Assessing we can use wildcabs and so when we give one probe point that will really match multiple probe points and we can end up in any of multiple functions. In that case, Pro-franc will tell you which function we are in. Bring back this pretty useful when you're at the doing stuff so you can figure out how we ended up there. And the view fetch is probably more interesting than things like channel string and user string to give it the pointer and it will get the string that that address and convert it into something usable within system type in a safe way that you are not like in different somethings that you probably shouldn't. They are transit but they could not practice system. And again, many more. That's just an example to give you an idea. Questions so far? Show some nice examples. Yeah, the examples are coming. I think you need to have some idea of what the examples are. You need this to understand the examples. There are some more stuff options. So you have by default, if you run a stuff script that will just trace everything in the system. If you say dashing, so you will trace just the specific PID you want, dash C so you can run just specific process. Something we'll see, a per case L so you can that will not run an script. You give it a probe point and it will tell you what variables are available at that probe point and if you say wild card it will give you it will expand the wild card and tell you what you are going to match. So that's what you do when you develop system type script. A per case F is nice to, the stuff will just load the model and it will get but the model will still be loaded. So you won't have a IO but the model will do what you want it to do and it's more stillty because you don't have a process hanging around. So the graph is probably interested in doing that. And you have the dash G which lets you, by default system type will not allow you to change anything. Now it will just allow you to trace those and observe things but that will allow you to change things and to actually inject C codes or whatever you like. So of course that's very easy to crash process and system if you change the behavior of the system at one time. That's all. Questions before the example? Interesting path. So let's see how we can apply this. So this is an example. You may know maybe Lit purple. It's something that's been developed for Pitkin and basically it's a library to, it's an IM library so you can read your friends on ICQ or IRC or Majaba or whatever through Lit purple and the application doesn't have to care about it. Lit purple and those stuff. And every communication basically goes through that function in Lit purple for proper conversation, right? Arguments. No idea how most of these work at Terraform but the room and message are probably interesting. It's obviously the person sending the message and the actual message. So we can use system type here to actually tap into the library Lit purple and instrument the specific function, purple conversation, right? And when we're in this function we just say we retrieve the sender of the message, the actual message and we just print it. And yeah, I didn't have time to get the internet in my laptop so I cannot do the demo of this one. I can show you at the end if you have time. How do you get the who and message variables? How does it know that those are the second and third variables? Okay, that's because you have the debug symbols for that. Oh, I see, okay. So yeah, it's used the debug symbols. You don't necessarily need debug symbols installed on the machine you are planning to instrument but you need them at some point when you put the system type on it. I can give you more details about that if you like but I'll just short time. So yeah, I cannot demo this one because I don't have internet. It works and it's not. So this one... Yeah, I'm probably going to skip this one because it's not so interesting and I don't have time but this one is more interesting. So you have... Let's say you have the uiFish and you don't like your user to play mp3 files for whatever reason. So there's that function in the kernel called mayopen and that function... you give it a path strict. Yeah? And the kernel determines if that user have access or not and so the mayopen function returns zero if the user is allowed to access the file or something else otherwise. So what we can do... So if you look at what system type we see for the mayopen function here we are going to instrument the return of that function and so you see here the variables that are available that's using the debugging course and you see... what we can see and change from system type at that point are not the return value obviously the path were probably interesting to do that the rest are... Yeah, well there are more things you can look into if you're interested in but most of them have no idea about that so the system type script we're going to write for that is we are just going to say we are instrumenting after when that function is going to return and well when that function returns we're going to let root do whatever it likes so we'll see here we are root after root so yeah if we are not root and we are not already disallowing access to the file because the return value is 0 and if in the path mp3 so this dname and is in the str are system type provided functions so dname will so here we are the path script we look into the dn3 and we get the actual name of the file and is in the str so to look at if mp3 exists in that file and if it's the case well we will place the return value minus 13 to say permission denied but you can give another error code if you like if you like confuse user 7 more so I should be able to hear any more of this ok ok so we have the system type script running there and we are a user and things we are instrumenting the main open function but we can still create files so this works but this won't and you see we have the writes and stuff it's possible for the user to rename the file yes the user is still able to work around this of course because well you are just instrumenting the main open so you can still use mn3 and yeah you can say oh it's really ogg file or whatever but well it's just a little what does this girls have system type by default you have fedora and all the red app based distribution so are you saying that by default there is the toolkit for a rootkit on all the just learning and stuff and yeah if you are bored you can you can do this kind of stuff pretty easily on fedora on the old red app based system and on the next stable devian and I don't know I think you want to check the state of system type on your distribution what about debugging symbols debugging symbols on a normal yes you need to debug symbols for what you are instrumenting at some point so for the kernel you are going to need the debug info on the kernel that's usually shipped as another package on your regular kernel in most distributions so yeah your distribution needs to prepare for that or you can debug your kernel do people still debug your kernel another example unless there are more questions is there any performance degradation because of this well depending what you are doing for the example you are not going to notice anything I mean that's just one function you are just going to you have a simple condition I mean you have your friends a pointer a couple of times doing a string proper reason and yeah check on the uid and the return and value you already have in your register this is not going to cost you any time no if you do more complex stuff I mean if you don't do any complex stuff in your functions but you are just trying to plug into a lot of the kernel functions yeah if you are going to plug into a lot of things that are going to be called a lot you may you may have problems gap, burden, safeties the day here but basically if system top notice that it's just going to be too costly or it's taking more time doing that stuff than actually letting the kernel do whatever it will just stop and say okay don't do that some kernels come with custom models that restrict this kind of rule key to run like you know some kind of patch that can be proposed and that are applied automatically on the kernel and that is a law or is there no way to well there are ways to not allow that but basically you are going to it's actually a feature that's a part of the kernel it's basically based on key probe so you can, when you build a kernel you can say I disabled key probes and you will not be allowed you will not be able to do that well not as easily but I don't see the point of a feature restricting another feature I was just thinking of a guy hacking my system that is installing the root key and how to make sure to should I run all processes encrypted or things like that this is unix once the guy have root you reinstall the machine yeah the system that just make the things easier you could already do that 10 years ago with your own shell code it's much harder you know five lines of code you can just say do but you have to try everything to the system there are two questions how to use system type against c++ programs yes you can do my example are for c but type works as well for c++ and note are things for Python and Java and Perl and other languages you know I can give a very quick example of the most I'm just going to say system type with system type last time I give this presentation I was asked can you hide system type with system type yes actually you can so a couple of hours later I came up with a script so the list of models basically what you want is the model so the list of models is stored as a list in the kernel and you just to move the models around when someone is going to look into the list you just move the models you don't want to show in the list somewhere and you get it back in whenever appropriate so this is the function here we are using it against a stand up rule because you are actually writing to c so yeah you look at this later because I don't have time for you but if you are using the kernel API to just mess with the list and we are going to store the even models in the list in a static list in this function and actually all you actually use this is that in the module.c in the kernel you have a function called mstart that is whenever someone tries to read the models which is where the smart goes to see the list of models so whenever we are going to to read that file we inject there and what we are doing here we want to inject just after the matrix but before we actually do anything with the list so that's why I do plus 2 here and and we just for the function we have written before to move and we do the opposite when the user close the file so I don't have time for the actual demo but basically whenever someone will will open the file it will it will not show the models you are hiding so you are hiding system and if you want to know more about this stuff yeah nice slide and all the examples will be online in a couple of minutes at the start of the UI page.front.b for system tab itself if you want to see look the beginners guide on the system tab website there is a wiki as well there is lots of excellent documentation for system tab if you are not interested in system tab you are maybe interested in the best out of very few from end stories and yeah yeah thank you I might be looking for a job maybe still ok thank you


So I've been using hyperland now for about three weeks and I've learned quite a lot about it I've been messing around with it quite a bit and I've customized it just the way I like it So what I thought I'd do today is talk to you about 10 tips tricks and tools That I've discovered over the course of the last three weeks that I thought would help you if you've decided to start Using hyperland as well So we're gonna try to do this in under 10 minutes so I can have a fancy title So let's go ahead and do that before we do if you'd hit the thumbs up on this video I'd really appreciate it. It really helped the channel. So the first tip is that you should really consider building hyperland from source Now I know a lot of people that scares them away But because of the fast nature of the development of hyperland building it from source ensures that you're always getting the most Up-to-date bug fixes now. It also means that things can break faster But I found that you actually have a better chance of getting your bugs fixed by using The source version instead of the ones that live in your Positories because the ones that live in your repositories, especially if you're using something like open Sousa or Debian or Ubuntu or whatever Chances are those are gonna be pretty old and if you use those you're gonna be living with those bugs for quite some time So I highly recommend using it from source But it is a cautionary Recommendation because it does have some downsides so that's the first one the second one is kind of tied to that is that you should definitely report bugs Now truthfully you should report bugs on all open source software that you use but on hyperland It's especially important because they do such a good job of actually fixing them So I've had several bugs that I've found over the course of the last three weeks Not two or three and I've reported all of them and all three of them were fixed Usually by the next morning if it was possible for them to be fixed at all So the fact that it was that fast and because I'm using the built from source version I was able to get my bugs fixed very very fast now That's obviously not a guarantee that your bugs are gonna be fixed that fast But the fact that it was possible is really good, but you're not gonna have that experience if you don't report the bugs so the next one is actually to use a Plug-in manager of some sort now I use Piper land which isn't really a plug-in manager. It's more a collection of plugins But there are a couple different ones that you could use I chose Piper land because it has the features that I want and specifically Piper land allows me to do things like have a Scratchpad system setup I have all of my scratch pad setup so I can actually just use a scratch pad on all of my bindings that I want them to Be and it just works very very well Piper land has a few other things that you can do with it But that's the main reason why I use Piper land because it does Scratchpads the way that I want them to be done but there are other hyperland plug-ins that you can use and Hyperland plug-in managers that you can use to extend hyperland beyond just what it does out of the box So I would highly recommend checking the documentation for Setting up a plug-in manager the next one is that you if you use discord You should definitely not use the native client because if you use the native client half of the things aren't going to work for you Probably now it will work Okay, and it might appear that it works okay But especially if you are someone who uses the voice chat functionality and the screen share functionality of discord You're going to want to use something other than the stock client because it doesn't work very well with portals So what I would recommend is use something like webcord, which is what you're seeing here on screen that allows you to if you go into a Chat room or whatever it would allow you to share your screen with the native portal that hyperland uses So use webcord instead of discord if you're going to be using the screen share functionality of discord My next tip is for you to mess around with your animation So hyperland is known for its animations and as you can see I have set them up in a certain way But it's not the only way for it to be done so I would highly recommend checking out the documentation for How to change the animations because there are many different curves that you can use basically that just changes how The animations are brought in and out on the screen and you can mess around with that to your heart's content to the point Where you can have a very unique animation set up on your system and it just looks really cool now It can get very complicated very fast and that can take some time But if you set it up so you have animations to the point where you like them It can make hyperland even more unique the next one I have for you is actually a pair of tools and this is grim and slurp grim and slurp are actually Things that really should be just one program, but they went super Unix philosophy grim and slurp basically just allow you to take a screen shot So I have it set up via keybinding and that will allow me to do things like that and take that as a screen Shot the problem is that grim is what's actually taking the screen shot But it needs coordinates from the screen over what portion of the screen you want it to actually take the screen shot of That's where slurp comes in slurp will basically allow you to gather those coordinates Plug them into grim so that it knows what portion of the screen you're wanting to take a screen shot with so you want to have both of those and you can go into your hyperland configuration file and Do something like this line right here basically what this does is it'll it uses grim and slurp to take your Screenshots so you'll want something like that in your configuration file So my next tip is to create a key binding or a set of key bindings to change the volume on your system So you can do this right inside of the hyperland config and you can basically use whatever keys you want There is a key binding for a dedicated volume key if your keyboard has one I don't have one so I just use all in a but you can do that with WPCTL Which comes with hyperland and then you can use that to set the volume I'm using 5% increments up and down that way you can change the volume on your system just with a key binding My next tip is that if you are someone who really likes to do organization of your configuration files Use hyperlands ability to source files in order to make your configuration file more organized This is what my hyperland configuration file actually looks like I've went and sourced each of the little pieces out into little other files It makes them more manageable and it's just something that I really like to do So if you're kind of like me you can do something like this to make your hyperlink configuration more modular It also makes it easier to switch things in and out if you were to do things like different themes or If you wanted to have different animations in certain situations, you could do something like that So my next tip really only applies for people who have multiple monitors But by default there's no actual way for you to switch your focus from one monitor to the other And that's okay because not everybody uses a multiple monitor to set it up But if you do you want that functionality So by using the focus monitor dispatch You can make it so that you can use a key binding to switch back and forth between all of your monitors Basically what I've set it up for is I use mod tab and it basically rotates between my three monitors in one direction I can use mod shift tab to rotate the other direction And this just makes it very very easy for me to take my focus from one monitor to the other And finally if you use a bar no matter what bar you're going to use What you're going to want to do is make sure you have a key binding that will kill it and restart it So you can do this in any number of ways. I've chosen to do it with an external script Basically, this just allows me to do mod control P and that will kill way bar like so and actually restart it Now I found this to be absolutely necessary for way bar because sometimes weird things show up way bar that really shouldn't be there Also, it crashes a lot for me for whatever reason So I have a key binding that will actually just relaunch it if it does crash And you can do this if you want to just have a way to kill it automatically So you wouldn't have to have it relaunch it you can just set it to kill it So either way I'd highly recommend having a binding to either kill and relaunch your bar or release kill it That way you can have the opportunity to refresh the configuration of your bar Especially if your bar doesn't have the ability to hot reload as a feature which way bar does not So those are the 10 tips tricks or and tools that I've discovered over the course of the last three weeks There are actually a few more that I could have made but I wanted to make sure that this was a fairly short video So if you have tips or tricks for hyperland that you'd like to share you can leave those in the comment section below you can Follow me on master down or Odyssey those links in the video description You can support me on patreon patreon.com slash links that Thanks everybody who does support me on patreon YouTube you guys are all absolutely amazing without you the chance I'm anywhere near where it is right now, so thanks very much for your support I truly do appreciate it You can also support me by heading over to the store and shop that's links to cast at org there You'll find out a whole bunch of merchandise to help support the channel as well.

SOLDIER BOY NEEDS TO BE STARTED! There's something I never thought I would say. To my younger viewers, or possibly just any of you out there, if you don't know who SOLDIER BOY is... Oh SOLDIER BOY? YOU! SOLDIER BOY had a pretty large hit, I believe, in 2007, so I would have been 17 at the time. Holy moly, I'm getting old. And all I remember of that song is absolutely hating it. So... Hey, I got this new damn fiat or car to SOLDIER BOY. It started with, like... OHHHHHHHHH! YOU! SOLDIER BOY, let me grind that... Oh, I can't even remember, honestly. This is like a decade ago now. And the name SOLDIER BOY left my brain. I haven't thought of this character in 10 years until now. You probably would have already seen about a week ago, SOLDIER BOY dropped the SOLDIER GAME console. Now, this blew up. I mean, even PewDiePie talked about it. Everyone talked about it. I felt like it was redundant to even talk about it. But now it's gotten even more ridiculous. And you guys might already be thinking, Well, yeah, no, I know what it is. Yeah, he released another console. Oh, no, actually, there's even new news on top of that. Now, now SOLDIER BOY is launching his own esports organization. What is going on right now? What is happening? Who is telling SOLDIER BOY to do this stuff?  You have to see this. But before we dive into all of this, sit back, relax. Make sure you subscribe to the channel. And let's talk about some SOLDIER TRASH. Hey, beat mugs. Hey, woods. Oh my God, it's Billy Gunn. Let's just go through the listing here. Now, actually, let's start by showing you this over on Aliexpress. Now, this is hilarious to me.  I had never seen them before. I didn't know what she was buying. All I knew was she was buying really cheap crap from this website called Wish. And what she bought was these SNES and NES clones. And when we hooked them up and played them, sure enough, they were horrible. They were running some terrible NES ROMs, games that weren't even playable. Well, that was, again, from Wish, a website just like Aliexpress. And funny enough, if you actually dive into Aliexpress far enough, you will find these systems. And here we go. We have the Super Nintendo or the Super Famicom clone. Also this weird-looking Sonic clone, which Kim got in blue for us. All of these horrible systems that you saw me review. That is what we're looking at.  You don't think it's going to be any different. I mean, heck, look at this, this NES Famicom ripoff. It's showing Mario Kart 8. And I want to highlight this because when we get to SOLDIER game consoles, we're going to see the same thing. Mario Kart 8 and Nintendo Game, they're advertising this front page. First thing you see, first image, Mario Kart 8. That is nowhere near this system. And if you want proof, you can watch my video because we literally reviewed this system. I mean, I'm off topic now.  A system promoting itself is something it's not. That's what you can get from Aliexpress. And now what SOLDIER boy is doing, or at least what his marketing team is doing, or what is, I don't even know who it is. That's getting him to put his name on this. They're buying this. This retro mini video game system supports 4K output, blah, blah, blah, blah. 80 bucks, right? And now he's rebranding it as the SOLDIER game console, saying that it was 200, which is an arbitrary number. They've just slapped on the site to make it look like it's on sale because we just saw it's 80 bucks. And they're selling it for 150. So actually it's 80 bucks crossed out to 150. Add to cart. Pay with PayPal right now. I can't wait. Let me throw this bad boy in my Christmas stocking. And you can see right here. It's all broken English package. Yes. Great. It comes with package. Fantastic. But apparently it plays SOLDIER game, which is a made up know nothing nonsense word. PlayStation, Neo Geo, PC, Sega, GBA, NES video games. So right there, it's advertising. It plays all of these things. So SOLDIER boy, a pretty big name in the industry, or at least he was 10 years ago. I don't know if he still is. I'm not trying to be offensive. I just haven't heard his name in a while. Oh, SOLDIER boy. But either way, a name in the industry is now marketing and selling his own console with illegal NES ROMs. I want to highlight the NES ones here. I mean, all of these are illegal and immoral, but I want to highlight the NES ones because this brings me to a point I wanted to get to. And let's just get to it right away. Hey, anyone else remember that Nintendo was suing people recently? Suing a husband and wife, $12 million. They won a lawsuit for 12. They actually sued them for $100 million, but they won the lawsuit for $12 million. Just a married couple, Jacob and Christine. I'm sure they're screwed now. A lot of people are saying they're probably fine because they made a lot of money selling these ROMs, but I'm sorry. There's no way that this industry makes this couple so much money that they can just give Nintendo $12 million and be good, be right, just fine and dandy. No, they sent this couple broke, I'm sure. I mean, if they even have to pay this $12 million, maybe that's a legality, maybe there's a way around it, maybe with good payments or something they can bring that. Maybe there's a workaround around it, but either way, they sued for $100 million and they won for $12 million. And now, Soldier Boy is selling something and you know when they make these consoles, where do you think they get the games from? Do you think they knock on Nintendo's door? Do you think they say, hey, Reggie, we're making this knock off Nintendo, Super Nintendo system, we just wanna throw some ROMs on there. Do you mind giving us a couple? Nah, you know what they do? They went to that exact same site.  How is that right? How is that right? You're gonna sue a happy little married couple just trying to make a quick buck on the internet. What they were doing wasn't right. I'm not trying to glorify it. But what Soldier Boy is doing is arguably worse. Over 800 built-in games. We have some images here of the crappy system which comes with the AV outputs as well as HDMI.  So that's the Soldier Game Console.  It's got Game Boy games, NES games, Vita games, which I highly doubt it has 3DS and Vita games. I highly, highly doubt it. Even says Switch. This is the one I guess said Switch on it and I guarantee you there's not a Switch game in sight. I was gonna buy this, by the way, but the ship time was like three weeks and there's no point. By the time I even got it, this was gonna be old news. But there's no way that it has any of this and you're telling me Nintendo's not okay with a couple selling NES games, but they're A-OK with somebody selling Switch games right now? Really? Really? Soldier Boy, they're okay with you? Nintendo's okay with you selling Switch games? It's clearly not got Switch games on it, but even just marketing it as having Switch games I think is kinda ludicrous.   So that's what we initially went through when he released these Soldier Game consoles. Every corner of the internet called him out for this because it's dodgy as holy heck. But that hasn't stopped Soldier Boy because he's gone and made the Soldier Game fuse. And again, if you've been on the internet the last few days, you've probably seen this flying around. But it's a $400 system. $400. If you go over here, AliExpress is selling it for $320, so it's not as much of a markup for Soldier Boy this time. 80 bucks more. Who is buying this for $400 when you have the Nintendo Switch for $300?  It might look like it has some games which they highlighted the weirdest games in this one. Mighty No. 9. Like no one's buying a $400 system for Mighty No. 9. Come on. That's gonna put people, that's gonna turn people away. So I go on a tangent here about the games on the system and I forgot to finish my first thought, which was to say that it's actually less powerful than the Switch. Essentially, it just plays the same NES ROMs. They can't play anything better than that. So you're spending $400 on an NES emulator? Oh my word. If you want a better breakdown of the system's actual specs, Spawn Wave actually has a really good video on it. So I'm gonna leave a link to his stuff down below. Just a great guy in general. So you should definitely check him out. All right, back to the video. But there's nothing here that's really jumping out to me. They made it look like they have these companies on board with them. Ubisoft, 505 Games, you know, some reputable companies, Deep Silver actually really like a lot of their games. But you know, they've just taken these images and slapped them on here. Like 200 plus partners. That doesn't mean nothing. I mean, it's even more apparent when you look at what they have actually wrote here. Abundant games play anytime. There's not even a space between that comma. The introduction of Paragraph 76 Games. That doesn't even make any English sense. That's nonsense words. The introduction of Paragraph 76 Games. What does that mean? What does that mean? You said you have over 200 plus developers or content partners, but only 76 games. Starting 20 games? Shock. What does that even mean? What do these words even mean when you just throw them together? Does it have 20 games? Do 20 games start shockingly? What does this mean? Package, yes, again. Thank goodness. Brand, soldier tech. This is another thing. You might be thinking to yourself, well, that's ridiculous, right? He's taking these consoles. He's slapping his own branding on them. But he's not even doing that. Like it still just says fuse. Like the exact same thing this says. They look no different. He hasn't added branding to them. They don't come in a soldier boy box. Nothing about this is branded soldier boy other than the website says soldier game. This is ludicrous. This in itself needs to stop. He can't keep doing this. He can't keep making consoles and shoveling them out. I don't know who's buying them, but oh my gosh. Like I don't know how he's getting away with this if he's even getting away with this. I don't know what's going on. So that's what he's marketing. That's what he's selling. He's stealing these things from a website, marketing them as his own, but not actually changing them at all. It's just a way that someone behind his brand has found to make a quick bug. So that's what we get to his tweets. Now this is where I think it starts to get very, as I said, hilariously ironic, but just ridiculous. Just ridiculous. Soldier boy Draco. Don't know what that means. Made over a hundred thousand just today. And then he links something on Instagram. Oh, he actually links his total sales. Humble bragging at its best. Weird flex soldier boy.  I could do this.  Boy beat him up game. Like that's what he's doing. And that's all I would have to do then is buy it from AliExpress, wait till it gets delivered to me and then take the extra money from whatever poor sucker. When did that fall down? Really? How long have you been in shot?   That is, that is, that's like school in July. And then there was another one made almost a million dollars yesterday and he did it again. He shared his sales almost a million dollars. He's making, he's making actual apparently if I'm, if I'm led to believe what he's tweeting here, he's actually making money off of this which I find ridiculous. Soldier boy needs to be stopped.  Perfect Christmas gift. Perfect Christmas gift. Perfect Christmas gift. Oh my word. This is worse than when a grandmother goes in the GameStop and asks for the recommended game of the year. Poor GameStop employee doesn't know what they're talking about and they recommend something like Fallout 76 because that was a big release. And then the kid opens it on Christmas thinking it's going to be Smash Brothers or Red Dead Redemption and now he's looking at Fallout 76. That's, that's what you're advertising soldier boy. Again, a Christmas gift idea right here. Now XXL magazine tweeted this and then he retweeted it. So I don't know what XXL magazine is but this is not a reputable site. They have two million followers and they're tweeting great Christmas gift on this. Whatever this is, whatever this is, you have lost all credibility. I'd never heard of you before now and I never want to see your face again. Ridiculous. Thank you for all your support. We are now past $1 million in sales. So he's, he's big, big news. We are partnering with Ubisoft. No, you're not. No, you're not. No, you are not. Ubisoft, no, you are not. Ubisoft is partnering with Nintendo. They're making their own games. They're focused on, they're focused on Assassin's Creed. They're focused on top clansies. They're not focused on the soldier game. No, you are not. Partnering with Ubisoft, soldier boy doesn't know anything about the game system. He doesn't know anything about the gaming world. It's clear to see. So in his eyes, partnering with Ubisoft, you know what that is? That's, we've stolen Ubisoft games and put them on our console and now we're partnered with Ubisoft. That's what he thinks that means. And he doesn't, I don't think he realizes that there's repercussions here. But you can't just say these things like their fact, like their word and have people believe them. Like, I don't think he realizes the legal trouble he is in because I don't, I literally don't think he understands gaming world, the gaming culture, gaming anything. I don't think he understands what he's saying and what he's doing. And this is the one that I love. This is the one. This is the one, soldier boy. I can't wait until this whole thing inevitably goes to court and he tries to say he didn't know what he was doing. He didn't understand. It was a mistake because it is. A mistake repeated more than once is a decision. It is. You did it. Soldier boy. You made the mistake once. Everyone called you out for it and then you made the decision to do it a second time. What did I just do with my hand? That's a weird way to count. You did it twice. You made the decision to sell another knockoff cheap forced advertising system for way too much. It's morally wrong and it's legally wrong. It's a mistake you have made twice and in your own words it is a decision. So when you go to court and you try to say it was a mistake, remember your own words. No, it wasn't a mistake. It was a decision. Nintendo, if you want money, if you want to make a statement, if you want to make a point out of anyone, make a point out of soldier boy, sue him for 100 million because he makes that in a day, apparently. Huge thank you to badass Billy Gunn for being a part of this video. Oh, and by the way, he still has one thing left to say to our good friend RGT-85. It's your favorite person, badass Billy Gunn.

CBRN materials are a great threat because of the capability to inflict massive casualties and harm globally and also impact on countries' economies and potentially could destabilise some governments. Terrorists use currently explosives and firearms because they're easy to access, easy to deliver. But there is a recognition that there will come a tipping point when the use of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear material is not as complex as it currently is. It's very difficult at the moment to get hold of some of these materials, not all of them, but even those that they can get hold of easily, it's very difficult to deliver in an effective manner that will cause the harm they seek. But when they reach that tipping point, that's when we'll see an increase in their use and that's why the CBRN sub-directorate is in place to help prevent that from happening. We currently operate in three key areas, information sharing through our Project Geiger, which leaks into 190 member countries. We do capacity building, which is training, exercising and workshops. Again, we tend to do that regionally, but across the globe. And finally, we provide support to operations and investigations and that's very significant because this conference is very much focused on operational commanders and senior investigating officers. To pose contribution to the Nuclear Security Summit, it covers a range of activities. Counter-nuclear smuggling workshops is one of them where we develop the capability of countries to set up counter-nuclear smuggling teams and get them aware of the trafficking organisations that exist, deliver case studies and help to develop their capability to respond to and deal with trafficking organisations. We also do various other courses around investigations and evidence handling. But also we have Operation Failsafe, which is a key tool in our armory, if you like, to target trafficking and that's where we identify people that have been or known to be involved in trafficking of nuclear and other radioactive materials and we track their movements globally to create a bigger picture of the networks that currently exist to support investigations.  This provides a platform of which we will then step into the Nuclear Security Summit at the end of March, beginning of April.
