Correct Transcript:

Now the Australian Research Council Discovery project that I've been leading has found that after rising up the news agenda for a while, regulation of environmental drivers has become less prominent in the news and we're left with the usual pattern of coverage dominated by news about the causes of obesity, the size and the cost of the problem, weight loss success stories and various solutions. In previous analysis by researchers at the New South Wales Centre for overweight and obesity, we found TV news and current affairs about obesity mostly blamed individuals or their parents for the problem of obesity. This kind of blame the victim coverage means that policymakers can focus on education. Eat less, move more. Instead of uncontentious taxes and regulations and industry can get on with designing food to be very Moorish.

Printed "relevated", the speaker says "regulation"

Explanation: Listen for "regulation of environmental drivers". Both start with r, so listen to the whole word.

Printed "doped", the speaker says "dominated"

Explanation: You will hear "dominated by news about". The first letter and last two letters match, so listen to the middle of the word.

Printed "salvation", the speaker says "solutions"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "weight loss success stories and various solutions". Both start with s, so listen to the end of the word.

Printed "fatness", the speaker says "obesity"

Explanation: Listen again to "the problem of obesity". The words start with different letters, so focus on the start of the word.

Printed "unlimited", the speaker says "uncontentious"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "uncontentious taxes and regulations". Both start with u, but the spoken word is much longer, so listen for the extra part.

Printed "digging", the speaker says "designing"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "designing food to be very Moorish". The first letter and last two letters match, so listen to the middle of the word.

"Australian" matches the audio

Explanation: "Now the Australian Research Council Discovery project" may look like a trick because it is a long name. The speaker says it exactly, so do not click it.

"Moorish" matches the audio

Explanation: "designing food to be very Moorish" has an unusual ending that can look wrong on the page. It is spoken exactly as printed, so do not click it.
