- 0:00Speaker 1: Late Welcome Late Debate.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Well, it's great to have your company on the Late Debate,
- 0:09Speaker 2: James Macpherson with Liz Storer and Joe Hildebrand. We've got
- 0:13Speaker 2: obviously a lot to talk about tonight, with lots happening
- 0:16Speaker 2: around the country.
- 0:18Speaker 3: Later on we'll talk about a politician.
- 0:20Speaker 2: Who's in trouble after running for parliament, all the while
- 0:23Speaker 2: putting bets on himself to lose the election. We'll talk
- 0:26Speaker 2: about that later plus when we get to the papers.
- 0:28Speaker 2: Obviously the return of Julia sangj is everywhere as well,
- 0:32Speaker 2: the Victorian government looking at what introducing what amounts to
- 0:36Speaker 2: a death tax, and the Darwin Waterfront is evacuated as
- 0:41Speaker 2: a World War two era Japanese bomb is detonated. We'll
- 0:46Speaker 2: talk about all of that when we get to the papers.
- 0:48Speaker 2: But the conflict in Gaza looks like it might be
- 0:51Speaker 2: drawing to a close after nine months of fighting. It
- 0:56Speaker 2: seems peace is finally on the horizon, not due to
- 0:59Speaker 2: Joe Biden, Benjaminette, Yahoo or the United Nations, but thanks
- 1:03Speaker 2: to Sydney City Lord Mayor Clover More. Clover Moore has
- 1:08Speaker 2: decided in her wisdom to review the council's printing contracts
- 1:12Speaker 2: with Israeli based company Hewitt Packard in a push to
- 1:16Speaker 2: boycott Israeli companies, and she believes this may well be
- 1:21Speaker 2: the crucial peace that finally brings a resolution. She said,
- 1:25Speaker 2: today leaders must strive to break the cycle of violence
- 1:29Speaker 2: in this region and ensure that neither Israelis nor Palestinians
- 1:32Speaker 2: live in fear and at risk of harm or death.
- 1:34Speaker 2: Now more than ever, we must use our voices to
- 1:37Speaker 2: call for peace. She goes on to say, if the
- 1:39Speaker 2: city's voice in this campaign can put additional pressure towards
- 1:44Speaker 2: a cease fire and an end to the humanitarian crisis,
- 1:47Speaker 2: then I think we should carefully review our investments and suppliers.
- 1:51Speaker 3: So there you have it.
- 1:52Speaker 2: Sydney City Council can't empty bins, can't fill potholes, can
- 1:57Speaker 2: solve the Ghazan Conflicting.
- 2:00Speaker 4: The James, I know, I know, I'm detecting a note
- 2:04Speaker 4: of sarcasm.
- 2:05Speaker 3: Not at all. I'm so excited by it development.
- 2:08Speaker 4: I have to I think, for the sake of clarity,
- 2:10Speaker 4: we have to. We have to state that you are
- 2:13Speaker 4: being somewhat facetious. Citis the touch Sydney City Council boycotting
- 2:17Speaker 4: Hewlett Packard won't solve the Middle East peace crisis for
- 2:21Speaker 4: the precise reason that it's already been solved by Fatima
- 2:25Speaker 4: payment voting with the Greens in the center. There's no
- 2:28Speaker 4: crisis left to solve. It's late to the party. What
- 2:33Speaker 4: you're doing.
- 2:34Speaker 1: She's still I mean, she shouldn't need to wait in
- 2:36Speaker 1: she should have been.
- 2:37Speaker 4: There passing emotion, you know, from the river to the sea.
- 2:39Speaker 4: That usually does it, I think, or maybe just hang
- 2:41Speaker 4: out at Sydney UNI.
- 2:43Speaker 2: Aside from the fast set in, Aside from the fact
- 2:45Speaker 2: that boycotting Israeli companies in protest that the Israeli government
- 2:49Speaker 2: is trying to rescue their own people who are still
- 2:52Speaker 2: being held hostages by terrorists, that is not only offensive,
- 2:56Speaker 2: it's just downright evil. But I mean, it's just ridiculous
- 3:00Speaker 2: that anything Sydney City Council does is going to have
- 3:03Speaker 2: any effect.
- 3:04Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, and we love to poke finite councils
- 3:07Speaker 1: engaging in foreign policy, of course, but here we have
- 3:10Speaker 1: a council who's literally essentially creating their own sanctions.
- 3:14Speaker 5: Now foreign you guys, sanctions, we do not.
- 3:19Speaker 1: Do business with you. To be clear, this is a
- 3:23Speaker 1: report in order so to speak that they've commissioned. So
- 3:26Speaker 1: we'll know whether they actually action it in three months
- 3:30Speaker 1: when we get a report out of this and we find.
- 3:33Speaker 4: Out boycott Palestinian companies in order to pressure on her
- 3:37Speaker 4: mask to release the hostages because they said it was
- 3:40Speaker 4: they were doing it for both Israelis and Palestinians.
- 3:43Speaker 1: Oh, except for maybe the Palestinians don't have anything to
- 3:46Speaker 1: boycott it.
- 3:47Speaker 5: What do we buy off them?
- 3:49Speaker 4: That's right, there's a topic in that on in and
- 3:52Speaker 4: of itself. But this is history repeating itself because a
- 3:54Speaker 4: Likehart Counsel did the exact same thing ten years ago.
- 3:57Speaker 4: So again, the Greens and the prog left have not
- 4:01Speaker 4: been you know, they're not suddenly outraged by what Israel
- 4:03Speaker 4: has been doing over the last six months. They've been
- 4:05Speaker 4: after Israel for years and years and years decades in fact,
- 4:08Speaker 4: and the like Art City Council went like Council in
- 4:11Speaker 4: Cities in a West when it was run by the Greens,
- 4:14Speaker 4: instituted its own BDS program, which is Boycott's divestments and sanctions,
- 4:19Speaker 4: which was part what something the left were going for.
- 4:20Speaker 4: You might remember, like kids were out there protesting against
- 4:24Speaker 4: Max Brenner. Max Brennan Newtown.
- 4:28Speaker 5: Oh my god, it's by Jews.
- 4:30Speaker 4: Let's protest. So they went out there and you know,
- 4:33Speaker 4: just basically stankd the joint out and then the mayor
- 4:39Speaker 4: of like our council ran for the state seat of
- 4:41Speaker 4: Marrickville against Carmel Tebbett, the former Missus Anthony Albanezi and
- 4:47Speaker 4: lost in an absolute routing. She got absolutely pants and
- 4:51Speaker 4: that was basically done like a know over there, because
- 4:54Speaker 4: people back then realized that this was just absolutely insane
- 4:57Speaker 4: for any local government to be involving itself in any
- 5:00Speaker 4: foreign policy, let alone one as contentious and problematic as
- 5:04Speaker 4: this one. And the Jewish community very very grateful, well sorry,
- 5:08Speaker 4: very very grateful for Carmel Tebbet's stance against the BDS,
- 5:11Speaker 4: and indeed very very grateful for Anthony Albanese support as well.
- 5:15Speaker 4: And so the Jewish community and anti Albanis actually have
- 5:18Speaker 4: a history that goes many many years. They get along
- 5:21Speaker 4: much more.
- 5:21Speaker 1: I'm going to the Jewish community today that was on
- 5:25Speaker 1: their side.
- 5:25Speaker 5: I'm breath.
- 5:29Speaker 4: There are close community links there.
- 5:31Speaker 5: Keep those shreds of credibility.
- 5:33Speaker 1: But obviously the reason why she's doing this as well
- 5:36Speaker 1: is she's seeking a sixth term in September. So she's
- 5:39Speaker 1: put her nose in the air, sniff the political will
- 5:42Speaker 1: of the people, or so she thinks. And even if
- 5:45Speaker 1: nothing comes of this, people will have seen the headline
- 5:48Speaker 1: and that's what you're doing it for.
- 5:50Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 5:50Speaker 3: Absolutely.
- 5:51Speaker 2: Let's go to Victoria where the premier has announced a
- 5:54Speaker 2: four million dollar eighteen months pill testing trial to begin
- 5:58Speaker 2: this summer. What the government are going to do is
- 6:01Speaker 2: create mobile pill testing centers that will go from various
- 6:05Speaker 2: music festivals to others about ten this summer, as well
- 6:09Speaker 2: as a fixed pill testing center in the CBD. This
- 6:13Speaker 2: issue has been bubbling along for quite some time, but
- 6:16Speaker 2: the Victorian government has finally said we're going to do it.
- 6:18Speaker 2: Have listened to Victorian Premiere Dicenta Allen talking about how
- 6:22Speaker 2: it was her kids that convinced.
- 6:24Speaker 3: Her that this is a good idea. Have a listener to.
- 6:27Speaker 6: Agis are they their kids get handed a pill at
- 6:30Speaker 6: a festival. They want a medical professional who can tell
- 6:33Speaker 6: them exactly what it is and exactly what it does
- 6:37Speaker 6: without telling them it's safe, No judgment, just facts, honest,
- 6:42Speaker 6: open health focused conversations. That's how we change young people's
- 6:48Speaker 6: behavior and even reduce drug use, and that's all pill
- 6:52Speaker 6: testing is about. It doesn't make pills legal, but it
- 6:56Speaker 6: does keep people safe, so.
- 6:59Speaker 2: That's all it's about. It doesn't make pills legal, it
- 7:01Speaker 2: just keeps people safe. The only problem is the police
- 7:04Speaker 2: themselves are quite confused now about what's going to happen
- 7:07Speaker 2: in music festivals. Should they be checking young people for drugs?
- 7:11Speaker 2: Should they be standing right back? They're not sure what
- 7:14Speaker 2: they're supposed to be doing. Have a listen to this
- 7:16Speaker 2: from Police Association Secretary Wayne Gatt. He said, and I
- 7:21Speaker 2: quote pill testing diminishes the illegality of illicit drug taking
- 7:25Speaker 2: in a particular area at a particular time, and that
- 7:28Speaker 2: flies directly in the face of long accepting police practices,
- 7:32Speaker 2: principles rather personal responsibility and the law.
- 7:36Speaker 3: So it beggars belief is that.
- 7:38Speaker 2: The Victorian government have not consulted with the police so
- 7:40Speaker 2: that this is clear. A head of the announcement, the
- 7:43Speaker 2: police are saying, well, currently we conduct drug searches. Should
- 7:47Speaker 2: we no longer do that? Or should we conduct drug
- 7:50Speaker 2: searchers but sort of not within fifty meters or is
- 7:53Speaker 2: it one hundred meters of the pill testing center? And
- 7:56Speaker 2: what if we find drugs on a young person at
- 7:57Speaker 2: a festival. But they say, oh, I'm on my way
- 7:59Speaker 2: to the pill test.
- 8:00Speaker 1: Oh, they say, look, they've already been tested, so it's
- 8:03Speaker 1: been given real clear.
- 8:04Speaker 7: She'll be right, mate.
- 8:06Speaker 1: He's hit the nail on the head when he says
- 8:08Speaker 1: pill testing diminishes the illegality of illicit drug taking, because
- 8:13Speaker 1: is it really illicit anymore? Are those drugs really illegal
- 8:16Speaker 1: when you've got state funded pill testing to ensure that, Hey, it's.
- 8:21Speaker 5: Aoka if you take this.
- 8:24Speaker 1: I've My argument has remained the same on this since
- 8:27Speaker 1: the dawn of it, and that.
- 8:29Speaker 5: Is, let natural selection take it's called.
- 8:31Speaker 1: You want to be stupid enough to take drugs, then
- 8:34Speaker 1: you're rolling the dice baby and the strong survive the week, don't.
- 8:40Speaker 1: But how many more kids I just can't believe Justinta
- 8:43Speaker 1: Allen is even trying on the argument that this will
- 8:46Speaker 1: reduce the use of drugs. Show me one kid who
- 8:52Speaker 1: once they know well, this thing's safe. I've got state
- 8:55Speaker 1: funded pill testing on site at my festival, isn't probably
- 8:59Speaker 1: going to give it a go, even if they wouldn't
- 9:01Speaker 1: have previously. Will be given a false sense of security,
- 9:05Speaker 1: And yeah, the sense of illegality goes out the window.
- 9:08Speaker 4: Also, if you've got a pill and you've got to
- 9:10Speaker 4: test it and they say no, this one's no good,
- 9:13Speaker 4: wouldn't you just chuck that and then go and find
- 9:15Speaker 4: another dealer and get another pill. I'm sorry, I've seen
- 9:19Speaker 4: the light I found Jesus. I'm going to go to
- 9:21Speaker 4: my first ever outdoor rave sober.
- 9:25Speaker 1: Shouldn't the pill testers be saying that again about every
- 9:28Speaker 1: drug that comes through their doors because the idea of
- 9:32Speaker 1: this drug being illegal is that it is bad for you,
- 9:35Speaker 1: It will do a bad things, criminalized.
- 9:41Speaker 5: And don't resk it.
- 9:42Speaker 3: It's really the problem. This is the issue of liability.
- 9:44Speaker 2: What if they go, they get their pill tested, they're
- 9:47Speaker 2: told yeah, that's safe. Then they take it, but they
- 9:49Speaker 2: mix it with another drug or they just have a
- 9:52Speaker 2: bad reaction and something to what happens.
- 9:55Speaker 3: Who's at fault.
- 9:57Speaker 4: Again these two things. Since the Act first first introduced
- 10:02Speaker 4: it a couple of years ago, and interestingly Victoria is
- 10:06Speaker 4: following the Act and Queensland in this trial. And I
- 10:10Speaker 4: don't know what the test results were for the Queensland pills,
- 10:12Speaker 4: but judging by tonight's state of origin, performance work can
- 10:16Speaker 4: work too soon soon too soon, you weren't still raw.
- 10:21Speaker 4: But the firstly, how do you police it? So you
- 10:24Speaker 4: have to therefore have some kind you have to have
- 10:26Speaker 4: some kind of amnesty zone sometimes zone where police couldn't
- 10:29Speaker 4: search people if you were a drug drugs dealers, Chris,
- 10:32Speaker 4: that's exactly where you go. So I don't know how
- 10:35Speaker 4: that works in practice, and maybe it does, maybe it doesn't.
- 10:37Speaker 4: Maybe the cops is turned a blind eye and pretend.
- 10:39Speaker 4: And the other thing is, of course, like you say,
- 10:41Speaker 4: the libility. Now we've got class actions in Americas. We're
- 10:43Speaker 4: very fond of talking about it. This show of people
- 10:46Speaker 4: who have taken a COVID vaccine that's been tested, that's
- 10:48Speaker 4: had clinical trials, and they've still had an adverse reaction,
- 10:51Speaker 4: and now they're saying, how dare you? How dare you imagine?
- 10:54Speaker 4: What the what the video? I mean, the kid's going
- 10:56Speaker 4: to have to sign a waiver to say that, you know,
- 10:58Speaker 4: I won't take any further action if you tell me.
- 11:00Speaker 4: And of course the doctors aren't going to say that
- 11:02Speaker 4: it's safe. They keep making that clear. No we're not
- 11:05Speaker 4: going to say it's safe, but we're going to say,
- 11:06Speaker 4: you know, oh, this doesn't have any horse tranquilizer in it,
- 11:09Speaker 4: or it doesn't have it, or it's pure en DNA
- 11:10Speaker 4: or whatever whatever. But either way, if it's effectively sanctioned,
- 11:14Speaker 4: then you know, we'll only take the first death after
- 11:18Speaker 4: a pill has been tested, or the first adverse reaction.
- 11:21Speaker 4: And you know what if the kid becomes a schizophrenic
- 11:23Speaker 4: by taking.
- 11:25Speaker 5: Of having illegal drugs, is that's right?
- 11:27Speaker 4: That's right. And again the criminalizing drugs like, not all
- 11:30Speaker 4: of them, but but I'm in favor of what Dominic
- 11:35Speaker 4: Perrete did, which was divert personal drug use out of
- 11:39Speaker 4: the system. So drugs are still illegal, so they're not decriminalized,
- 11:43Speaker 4: but if you're court with a small amount just for
- 11:44Speaker 4: personal use, you get referred in the first instance or
- 11:47Speaker 4: to treatment rather than clogging up the court system. And
- 11:51Speaker 4: that was something obviously done by a conservative premier. That
- 11:54Speaker 4: makes perfect sense. But to have a system where you're
- 11:57Speaker 4: just going to specifically test pills and leave all other
- 12:00Speaker 4: illicit drugs out of it and still keep them as
- 12:02Speaker 4: being illegal just makes no sense to me.
- 12:05Speaker 2: Ellen, in her explanation on Twitter, explained that smart young
- 12:09Speaker 2: people want information, smart young people taking drugs, and.
- 12:16Speaker 1: That way just making it like no, these are the
- 12:18Speaker 1: smart ones. You know they're doing their research before they
- 12:21Speaker 1: take this illegal substance. Do me a favor to a
- 12:26Speaker 1: case now that will literally curl your hair if it's
- 12:29Speaker 1: not already curly. A guy in the Netherlands who is
- 12:34Speaker 1: a convicted rapist is now going to Paris twenty twenty
- 12:40Speaker 1: four Olympics to compete on the international stage. This man
- 12:45Speaker 1: was a convicted rapist of a twelve year old back
- 12:48Speaker 1: in twenty and sixteen. At the time, the judge said
- 12:52Speaker 1: his chances of going to the Olympics were quote a
- 12:55Speaker 1: shattered dream end quote and that he had quote a
- 12:59Speaker 1: dark side end quote. Well, yeah, you would have to
- 13:02Speaker 1: have a dart side to be seven years This girl's
- 13:05Speaker 1: senior groom her for two years, travel from the Netherlands
- 13:10Speaker 1: on several occasions to rape her repeatedly in her own
- 13:14Speaker 1: mother's home while the mother's away.
- 13:16Speaker 5: And this child is just twelve years old.
- 13:22Speaker 1: This sniveling pile of steaming human fegal matter dares to
- 13:28Speaker 1: say this. He says, quote, I do want to correct
- 13:31Speaker 1: all the nonsense which has been written about me.
- 13:35Speaker 7: When I was locked up.
- 13:37Speaker 1: I did not read anything of it on purpose, but
- 13:40Speaker 1: I understand that it was quite bad that I have
- 13:42Speaker 1: been branded as a sex monster, as a pedophile. P
- 13:46Speaker 1: fact check that that I am not really not. Everyone
- 13:50Speaker 1: can have an opinion about me, but it is only
- 13:53Speaker 1: fair if they also know my side of the story.
- 13:56Speaker 7: Buddy, I just told your side of the story.
- 14:00Speaker 1: He served only twelve months in jail, by the way,
- 14:02Speaker 1: he was sentenced with four years, but got out on
- 14:06Speaker 1: bail after one. And now this guy gets to go
- 14:10Speaker 1: belauded as a famous athlete at Paris twenty twenty four
- 14:16Speaker 1: the Netherlands. What the hell are you thinking?
- 14:19Speaker 7: And I'm just going to remake my point.
- 14:21Speaker 1: If we had the death penalty for convicted pedals, as
- 14:24Speaker 1: I've repeatedly asked for, we wouldn't have this problem.
- 14:28Speaker 7: We would have this problem.
- 14:29Speaker 4: Yep, yep.
- 14:31Speaker 1: So again I present my case.
- 14:34Speaker 3: I suppose killing people does eliminate a lot of problems.
- 14:36Speaker 1: If you look like that Liz rapist a child, No,
- 14:41Speaker 1: you would also cause a shortage on the Dutch beach
- 14:43Speaker 1: volleyball team as well. So you know, literally, they haven't
- 14:47Speaker 1: got any better than a guy who repeatedly raped a
- 14:50Speaker 1: twelve year old. He is somebody else to bash around
- 14:54Speaker 1: a volleyball for crying out.
- 14:56Speaker 3: Laud I decided the moral question for a moment, there's.
- 14:59Speaker 1: No pudding aside the moral I said from I said,
- 15:02Speaker 1: for a moment, No, why that is? That is? I
- 15:07Speaker 1: didn't see how you have a point, if.
- 15:11Speaker 7: What this is all about.
- 15:12Speaker 3: If you allow me to speak, you'll see that I've.
- 15:14Speaker 4: Got a point.
- 15:14Speaker 5: Okay, let's see if you do.
- 15:16Speaker 3: There's a legal issue here first and foremost.
- 15:18Speaker 2: If he qualifies for the Olympic Games, and you make
- 15:20Speaker 2: the Olympic team based on your athletic performance, and there
- 15:24Speaker 2: is no criteria that says if you are a convicted rapist,
- 15:28Speaker 2: you cannot be selected, and they don't select him even
- 15:31Speaker 2: though he's qualified, Potentially there's a discrimination issue that will
- 15:35Speaker 2: just be a legal question before you get to the
- 15:37Speaker 2: moral question.
- 15:38Speaker 3: I'm just pointing out moral.
- 15:39Speaker 1: Questions should first though, Why would you want?
- 15:45Speaker 3: That's an issue?
- 15:46Speaker 4: So should all convicted criminals, no child rape victor pedophiles.
- 15:52Speaker 7: If you've done.
- 15:53Speaker 1: Petty theft, or you've engaged in fraud, mate play ball,
- 15:56Speaker 1: all you like, if you're the best your country has
- 15:59Speaker 1: got for it, I am talking about child rapists, convicted pedophiles.
- 16:06Speaker 4: Convicted rapists as well, or just child rapists.
- 16:10Speaker 5: Child rapists?
- 16:11Speaker 2: Should you be allowed to work in the public service?
- 16:13Speaker 2: So if you've had that sort of conviction.
- 16:16Speaker 1: As a child rapist, no, okay, should you be allowed
- 16:20Speaker 1: to what other jobs?
- 16:22Speaker 3: Should you be barred from? What other once you've served
- 16:24Speaker 3: your time? Exactly?
- 16:27Speaker 1: Get my argument twelve months in prison, which is nothing,
- 16:31Speaker 1: and then just live life as if it didn't happen.
- 16:33Speaker 2: My question is, once you start down this track and
- 16:36Speaker 2: you say someone's been convicted, someone has served their time.
- 16:39Speaker 1: They haven't served their time twelve months, your daughter Mac,
- 16:44Speaker 1: there is no way you would argue this.
- 16:47Speaker 7: Answer me, that would you argue this.
- 16:49Speaker 2: I'd like to finish what I was saying. The fact
- 16:51Speaker 2: you only served twelve months is outrageous. But that's a
- 16:54Speaker 2: legal matter, right, that's down to the judicial system. All
- 16:58Speaker 2: I'm asking is, if you commit a crime and then
- 17:00Speaker 2: you found guilty, and then you serve the punishment, how
- 17:03Speaker 2: long then does society continue to punish you?
- 17:06Speaker 5: Never?
- 17:06Speaker 1: You never, you never get to be treated just one
- 17:11Speaker 1: of us, now, No, not when you've committed the most
- 17:14Speaker 1: heinous crime anyone can possibly People can never reform, No,
- 17:19Speaker 1: people can never be There have been so many studies
- 17:21Speaker 1: done showing that pedophiles. No, they can't. They don't even
- 17:25Speaker 1: believe they're in the wrong. They don't see a problem
- 17:29Speaker 1: with what you've just convicted of them, them for, locked
- 17:32Speaker 1: them up for. There is no reformation here. Okay. So no,
- 17:37Speaker 1: this particular crime that I'm talking about, there is no
- 17:40Speaker 1: amount of time you can serve whereby you should just
- 17:43Speaker 1: be let back into the community. And everyone treats you
- 17:46Speaker 1: like it didn't happen.
- 17:47Speaker 2: Screw, and no one's treating him like it didn't happen.
- 17:51Speaker 3: Everyone.
- 17:52Speaker 7: I think you're arguing.
- 17:55Speaker 3: Advocating for him.
- 17:56Speaker 2: I'm tru you are, Mac, I'm just trying to work
- 17:58Speaker 2: out how far you would go in that argument.
- 18:01Speaker 4: Okay, consistent, So pedophiles should not be able to Anyone
- 18:07Speaker 4: convicted of child sex offenses should not be able to
- 18:11Speaker 4: I'm not disagreeing with you necessarily, but anyone convictive child
- 18:14Speaker 4: sexpenses basically shouldn't be allowed to do any anything.
- 18:19Speaker 5: Why should they be?
- 18:20Speaker 3: Okay, So what do you suggest they do for the
- 18:21Speaker 3: rest of their lives?
- 18:23Speaker 1: Get a job as a factory worker as long as
- 18:28Speaker 1: public service.
- 18:29Speaker 5: Those are leaders.
- 18:30Speaker 7: We're talking about leaders in our community.
- 18:32Speaker 1: Now, we're talking about people who are the public service
- 18:39Speaker 1: make decisions on a daily basis.
- 18:41Speaker 4: There's many, many, many different levels we're talking about. You know,
- 18:45Speaker 4: that's right South Wales. That's right is what is?
- 18:50Speaker 1: Don't understand what your argument is you answer it since
- 18:53Speaker 1: you don't seem to think that the lines here line.
- 18:57Speaker 1: So he gets to go to the Olympics, he gets
- 18:59Speaker 1: to become prime Minister, to be voted.
- 19:04Speaker 3: In my principle, you're.
- 19:06Speaker 1: Arguing that they should just do their time and once
- 19:08Speaker 1: their time is up.
- 19:10Speaker 2: I would argue that if you have committed a crime,
- 19:13Speaker 2: whatever that crime is, we have a judicial system. You
- 19:15Speaker 2: do the crime, then you serve the punishment, and once
- 19:18Speaker 2: you've served that punishment, then it says more about society
- 19:21Speaker 2: than it does about that person that we grant that
- 19:23Speaker 2: person the opportunity to know.
- 19:25Speaker 7: We grant them nothing. You rape the child, we get
- 19:28Speaker 7: to judge you for the rest of your.
- 19:29Speaker 1: Life and treat you like the absolute piece of stun
- 19:32Speaker 1: that you are. Period.
- 19:33Speaker 4: Is this just because he's Dutch? Because I find them
- 19:38Speaker 4: pretty annoying.
- 19:39Speaker 1: I love the Duchies. Yeah, no, I've always gotten like
- 19:42Speaker 1: a house on fire with the Dutch.
- 19:43Speaker 3: All right, shall we go to the United States?
- 19:45Speaker 4: Wait a minute. No, No, we haven't answer my original question.
- 19:48Speaker 4: Were they actually beaches in Holland.
- 19:52Speaker 5: They got to do with anything?
- 19:55Speaker 4: I thought they just had like insane clogs.
- 20:01Speaker 7: Does it really matter they just practice insane.
- 20:02Speaker 3: It just goes to show how good he really is.
- 20:05Speaker 4: Wow, I'm to signing you know anyone about Joe?
- 20:08Speaker 3: All right, let's go to the US.
- 20:10Speaker 2: Remember back in twenty twenty where Hunter Biden's laptop was
- 20:14Speaker 2: causing all sorts of controversy, and then just in time
- 20:18Speaker 2: for the second and final presidential debate, Joe Biden was
- 20:22Speaker 2: handed a letter whereupon fifty one former US spies signed
- 20:27Speaker 2: that letter saying that the laptop and the contents connecting
- 20:31Speaker 2: Joe Biden with his son's business dealings, well, it was
- 20:35Speaker 2: all misinformation, disinformation, It wasn't to be trusted, and effectively
- 20:41Speaker 2: that nullified the laptop issue and helped Joe Biden win
- 20:45Speaker 2: the election. Have a look at this clip back from
- 20:48Speaker 2: the time where numerous outlets were repeating this line from
- 20:53Speaker 2: former spies.
- 20:55Speaker 7: It's a story raising concerns about whether it's real or
- 20:58Speaker 7: just designed to so confers usion. In the final weeks
- 21:01Speaker 7: of the election.
- 21:02Speaker 3: Experts say it has all the hallmarks of information laundering.
- 21:06Speaker 1: This looks like your classic disinformation campaign.
- 21:10Speaker 8: I think there are a lot of issues related to
- 21:12Speaker 8: this New York Post story that im portally referenced the
- 21:17Speaker 8: Hunter Biden emails, and as I and several of any
- 21:20Speaker 8: former colleagues had pointed out publicly that it does bear
- 21:24Speaker 8: the hallmarks of Russian disinformation.
- 21:26Speaker 4: And there it is in the Oval Office.
- 21:28Speaker 8: Another wonderful propaganda coup for Vladimir Putin, seeing the President
- 21:32Speaker 8: of United States holding up a newspaper promoting Kremlin propaganda.
- 21:38Speaker 2: Well, the White House Intelligency Intelligence Committee report has found
- 21:42Speaker 2: not all of those fifty one former spies were in
- 21:45Speaker 2: fact format spies. The former CIA Acting Director Director Michael
- 21:50Speaker 2: Moral Moral he was in fact on a contract with
- 21:53Speaker 2: the CIA at the time that he signed that letter,
- 21:56Speaker 2: as was the ex Agency Inspector General David Buckley, plus
- 21:59Speaker 2: Lee another two of the supposed former spies who signed it.
- 22:04Speaker 2: So all these people who are skeptical about the deep state, Liz,
- 22:08Speaker 2: this proves there was in fact a deep state operating
- 22:11Speaker 2: where serving spies were becoming highly politicized.
- 22:16Speaker 1: This isn't even deep state, like anyone who knows anything
- 22:20Speaker 1: about CIO operations This is just perfect. This is another
- 22:23Speaker 1: day at the CIA. Anyone who's read a book wrote
- 22:27Speaker 1: Tom O'Neil called chaos. I seriously could not put that
- 22:31Speaker 1: thing down. You become familiar with mk Ultra, you become
- 22:34Speaker 1: familiar with chaos. These all these Project Phoenix, all these
- 22:39Speaker 1: diabolical CIA operations that were eliciting great evil on their
- 22:45Speaker 1: own people and certainly overseas, but gaging in political process.
- 22:54Speaker 1: Now the CIA is not allowed to do that.
- 22:57Speaker 7: That is not what.
- 22:58Speaker 1: Of course they do it all the time. But whatever,
- 23:00Speaker 1: they're not exactly so here they've been caught out lying
- 23:08Speaker 1: yet again, I mean moral.
- 23:10Speaker 7: Flatley denied he.
- 23:11Speaker 1: Was a contractor when contacted by the Post. If you
- 23:14Speaker 1: write that, you would be wrong, he told the Post.
- 23:17Speaker 9: Later on, he said he couldn't speculate on why he
- 23:20Speaker 9: was listed as such as in like a current contractor
- 23:24Speaker 9: by the agency, because he said and insisted, it's just
- 23:29Speaker 9: flat out wrong.
- 23:31Speaker 1: And then of course it came out that it was
- 23:34Speaker 1: absolutely right. So there he was, bald face lying to
- 23:37Speaker 1: the Post twice until the congressional source provided the Post
- 23:42Speaker 1: with proof that no, no, he's he was in fact
- 23:45Speaker 1: still working for them. So for me, I love these
- 23:48Speaker 1: stories because whatever helps people become more and more aware
- 23:52Speaker 1: of the fact that these agencies work around the clock,
- 23:55Speaker 1: and they do so to.
- 23:56Speaker 7: Pull the wool over people's eyes.
- 23:59Speaker 5: That's it.
- 24:00Speaker 7: That's it, period.
- 24:01Speaker 1: And I promise if anyone reads the book Chaos by
- 24:04Speaker 1: Tom O'Neill, you will see the same You'll never look
- 24:07Speaker 1: at the world the same way again.
- 24:10Speaker 4: What this What disturbs me most about this is the
- 24:14Speaker 4: incompetence of it. Surely firstly, well, you've got the deep state, right,
- 24:18Speaker 4: and the deep state instead of actually secretly running the world,
- 24:21Speaker 4: it's outsourcing it, right, So it's outsourcing it to a contractor.
- 24:25Speaker 4: If we believe the CIA itself might have been involved whatever,
- 24:27Speaker 4: or maybe this guy they are.
- 24:28Speaker 5: Involved, it's just been proven.
- 24:31Speaker 4: No, no, he was doing it as a contractor. But
- 24:33Speaker 4: was he doing it at the behest of the CIA
- 24:35Speaker 4: or was he just happen to be listed as a
- 24:37Speaker 4: contract at the same time. Actually, there's at least five
- 24:42Speaker 4: of them, maybe and maybe that were okay. But if
- 24:45Speaker 4: you're the CIA and you're trying to do this, why
- 24:48Speaker 4: would you do it with assets that have a paper
- 24:51Speaker 4: trail connecting you, connecting them to Well.
- 24:54Speaker 1: They didn't the Congressional source pulled all this apart.
- 24:58Speaker 4: Much like the ture.
- 25:00Speaker 1: He provided the Post document.
- 25:03Speaker 4: They provided the Post with the CIA's document that confirmed it. Yes,
- 25:07Speaker 4: don't leave the paper trail, guys. I mean, I know,
- 25:09Speaker 4: you know, I know political staffers who are too smart
- 25:11Speaker 4: to do that. Actually, they literally there was one I knew.
- 25:15Speaker 4: I won't say it was used to every every single
- 25:19Speaker 4: day before they logged off their computer, they checked the
- 25:22Speaker 4: scent items in their email box and if it was empty,
- 25:26Speaker 4: then they were happy. They never sent an email never ever,
- 25:29Speaker 4: because they never left a paper trail. Everything on the phone. Anyway,
- 25:35Speaker 4: what I'm saying the New South Wales government knows how
- 25:38Speaker 4: to do it. Why aren't these guys, Why doesn't the CIA?
- 25:40Speaker 4: It just seems really really sloppy.
- 25:44Speaker 1: Speaking of sloppy, though, how do you think that we
- 25:46Speaker 1: found out about their far worse.
- 25:48Speaker 5: Projects over the course of history.
- 25:50Speaker 1: We are now laid there for everyone to read and
- 25:52Speaker 1: go never trusting you guys within a single inch of
- 25:55Speaker 1: my life. I mean, what the Church Committee uncovered back
- 25:59Speaker 1: in the sixties the seventies about MK Ultra, about chaos,
- 26:03Speaker 1: about Project Phoenix, the lifts Weear's well was so damning
- 26:07Speaker 1: of the CIA. Yeah, intelligence agency, you were killing Americans
- 26:13Speaker 1: on American.
- 26:14Speaker 5: Soil direct quote.
- 26:16Speaker 1: If you do that, we can't put anything past you,
- 26:19Speaker 1: can I mean, what you've been up to is that
- 26:22Speaker 1: unforgivable and that evil.
- 26:24Speaker 4: I'm still getting over the Yes, his small.
- 26:25Speaker 1: Fry, it was just election interference. It's like, oh, this
- 26:29Speaker 1: stuff on Biden's stop connecting Joe Biden to his dodgy
- 26:33Speaker 1: dealings with all these countries overseas.
- 26:36Speaker 7: No, No, that part of the laptop.
- 26:38Speaker 4: I'm just saying, guys, you know, spooks, if you're going
- 26:41Speaker 4: to engage in a cover up, do it properly. Do
- 26:44Speaker 4: it properly. Don't let a paper trail, you know, don't.
- 26:47Speaker 5: Leave the paper trail. We want him to be sloppy.
- 26:49Speaker 4: Joe, Oh my god. I mean the Britsy operation mincemeat
- 26:52Speaker 4: and they got away with it. The CIA can't even organizer.
- 26:56Speaker 2: I mean, the fact that it was so sloppy shows
- 26:57Speaker 2: you how confident they are with their connection to the
- 27:00Speaker 2: Biden administration and the media, et cetera.
- 27:03Speaker 5: Their connections.
- 27:04Speaker 2: They can afford to live a little bit sloppy and
- 27:06Speaker 2: it's really not going to come back to bite them.
- 27:07Speaker 2: And even this revelation in the news probably won't affect
- 27:10Speaker 2: that many people when they vote.
- 27:12Speaker 1: Well, no, indeed, but see right now, it's level of
- 27:15Speaker 1: importance is nothing and nobody cares. It was in order
- 27:20Speaker 1: to pip him at the post in the twenty twenty election,
- 27:23Speaker 1: and some could say it worked.
- 27:25Speaker 4: Do you think that the IA is behind the push
- 27:27Speaker 4: to stop RFK Junior from running the election in New Jersey?
- 27:32Speaker 7: Why would they?
- 27:33Speaker 5: That's probably he's a little bit.
- 27:35Speaker 2: All right, thanks, just the teamsters know well, it's funny
- 27:40Speaker 2: you mentioned.
- 27:41Speaker 1: That about that, Joe, tell us about it.
- 27:43Speaker 4: I'm glad you asked RFK Jr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
- 27:46Speaker 4: I preferred Bobby Kennedy Senior. That's just me has been
- 27:50Speaker 4: hit with a law so that seeks to boot him
- 27:52Speaker 4: from the ballot, the presidential ballot Jersey. Now RFK pulled
- 27:57Speaker 4: out of the Democrat primary for the presidency. I don't
- 28:00Speaker 4: know why. I would have thought he was a shoeing
- 28:02Speaker 4: to pick it up, you know, like what could possibly
- 28:04Speaker 4: go around?
- 28:05Speaker 5: I know the numbers went with they'd probably.
- 28:08Speaker 4: Be more electable than Joe Biden. And then he's trying
- 28:12Speaker 4: to get on the ballot as an independent candidate. And
- 28:15Speaker 4: now there is a law suit and it's called something
- 28:17Speaker 4: like the saw loser law. So you basically can't get
- 28:21Speaker 4: on the ballot as an independent candidate if you've run
- 28:24Speaker 4: and lost as a party endorsed candidate. But of course
- 28:29Speaker 4: he didn't run and lost lose. He pulled out because
- 28:32Speaker 4: he knew he was going to lose. So does the
- 28:35Speaker 4: sore loser thing? You know, it's the should be called
- 28:37Speaker 4: the would should have law. So they say no, but
- 28:41Speaker 4: you would.
- 28:41Speaker 7: Have the bullet law.
- 28:43Speaker 5: I could just see the writing was on the wall.
- 28:45Speaker 7: I wasn't going to waste my time.
- 28:46Speaker 1: Here's the court filing by attorney Scott Salmon. He says,
- 28:51Speaker 1: frankly had defended Kennedy believes he was likely to have
- 28:54Speaker 1: successfully won the nomination of the Democratic Party in the primary,
- 28:57Speaker 1: he would not have withdrawn from the election months beforehand.
- 29:01Speaker 7: How do I know that? Yeah, that's why he withdrew.
- 29:05Speaker 1: Why would you bother running if you knew you had
- 29:08Speaker 1: no chance of getting up?
- 29:09Speaker 4: Now you're playing in their hands. What now you're playing
- 29:13Speaker 4: into their hands because they're saying then that the saw
- 29:15Speaker 4: loser clause kicks in and so that can boot him off.
- 29:18Speaker 1: As you said he never actually ran, he sniffed the wind,
- 29:21Speaker 1: knew he'd lose, and so pulled out before it came
- 29:24Speaker 1: to it.
- 29:24Speaker 4: But I think the attorney's case is that if he
- 29:27Speaker 4: pulled out because he knew he was going to lose,
- 29:29Speaker 4: then the sore loser laws can apply. This is like
- 29:32Speaker 4: a tongue to is it? Now the loser laws apply,
- 29:34Speaker 4: and therefore they can strike him from the ballot. Whereas
- 29:36Speaker 4: if he just happens to be presenting himself as a candidate,
- 29:40Speaker 4: you know, fresh from the driven snow and oh yes,
- 29:42Speaker 4: I've flirted with the Democrats, but I decided not to
- 29:45Speaker 4: so I want to run as an independent, then the
- 29:46Speaker 4: saw loser law wouldn't necessarily apply.
- 29:49Speaker 2: So the more interesting question is what's the motivation of
- 29:51Speaker 2: this lawsuit. Is it simply to uphold the loser law
- 29:55Speaker 2: because it's such an important principle, or are they trying
- 29:58Speaker 2: to make sure that Joe Biden doesn't have someone leaking
- 30:01Speaker 2: votes from him.
- 30:02Speaker 1: And which is exactly what RFK is currently doing. Is
- 30:05Speaker 1: not taking votes from the Republicans, he is taking votes
- 30:08Speaker 1: from the Democrats because of course, long history and his
- 30:10Speaker 1: family blew to the bone in that he's got a lot.
- 30:17Speaker 5: To say, CIA, but.
- 30:22Speaker 1: He's serving an important purpose. Basically, I would say, obviously
- 30:28Speaker 1: he's not going to.
- 30:29Speaker 7: Get the gong, but that is why they want him
- 30:32Speaker 7: off the ballot.
- 30:33Speaker 1: It's so obvious, like who cares just let him be
- 30:35Speaker 1: on the ballot if he's just this independent who doesn't
- 30:38Speaker 1: pose a threat to you in New Jersey. No, we're seeing,
- 30:42Speaker 1: much like we've seen against Trump time and time again.
- 30:44Speaker 1: Now someone is weaponizing it's law fair judicial system over
- 30:48Speaker 1: there to try and get him off the ballot, which
- 30:51Speaker 1: you just wouldn't do that if he wasn't a threat,
- 30:53Speaker 1: would you know?
- 30:54Speaker 3: So you're saying January sixth wasn't the real insurrection.
- 30:57Speaker 1: You guys just love us really crazy questions of me.
- 31:04Speaker 4: Through the looking glass here.
- 31:05Speaker 1: People, I just like to point out that I'm so
- 31:08Speaker 1: proud of you too. Tonight. You both mentioned deep state,
- 31:11Speaker 1: not me. I don't think I've ever talked about deep state.
- 31:13Speaker 7: These guys been dropping it like bombs.
- 31:16Speaker 3: We're totally there what we're talking about. The United States.
- 31:18Speaker 2: Let's go to our favorite TV show, The View on
- 31:21Speaker 2: the ABC, which you may or may not have heard of,
- 31:23Speaker 2: but you would know of. One of their key figures
- 31:25Speaker 2: will be Goldberg. You know what the left always talking
- 31:28Speaker 2: about how Donald Trump is borish and he's a brute,
- 31:31Speaker 2: et cetera, et cetera.
- 31:32Speaker 3: Have a listen to this exchange and what will be Goldberg.
- 31:37Speaker 7: I don't think we have to. I think it would be.
- 31:42Speaker 10: Remiss of us to not say, Joe Biden knows how
- 31:46Speaker 10: to do this. Yes, he knows how to do this.
- 31:48Speaker 10: He's he's quite good at this. And you know, you
- 31:52Speaker 10: can't refute anything with him because he just when I
- 31:55Speaker 10: say him, I mean Trump, he tends to just.
- 32:02Speaker 5: Can I mention one thing?
- 32:07Speaker 4: At least get a bowl? Like she got a spittoon
- 32:10Speaker 4: down there?
- 32:12Speaker 5: Roads do you have it?
- 32:12Speaker 1: And everyone laughing and actually clapping? How deranged are your viewers?
- 32:18Speaker 2: Could you imagine if someone on Fox did that after
- 32:20Speaker 2: having said the name Joe Biden.
- 32:24Speaker 4: I like the outrage, but I think it's very telling
- 32:27Speaker 4: that there are five people sitting on the panel. But
- 32:29Speaker 4: the show is called The View, not the Views, just
- 32:34Speaker 4: the View. It's interesting, will be I think you know,
- 32:39Speaker 4: you've got to cut some slack hair, because while obviously
- 32:42Speaker 4: she did slightly transgress in that incident, she has made
- 32:46Speaker 4: invaluable contributions to race relations, anti Semitism, and of course
- 32:51Speaker 4: world history more generally. With this little remark a couple
- 32:54Speaker 4: of years ago, then.
- 32:56Speaker 10: Let's be truthful about it, because the Holocaust isn't about race. No,
- 33:03Speaker 10: it's not about it's about a different race, but it's
- 33:07Speaker 10: it's not about race. It's not about because it's about
- 33:13Speaker 10: man's inhumanity to man.
- 33:16Speaker 7: That's what it's about.
- 33:17Speaker 5: But it's about white supremacy.
- 33:19Speaker 10: But it's not about but these are white groups of people.
- 33:29Speaker 5: On the view.
- 33:30Speaker 1: That was like, in a minute, what this is?
- 33:33Speaker 4: But the first one, like all of it, we could
- 33:36Speaker 4: just play it again because the amazing is when she says,
- 33:39Speaker 4: because the truth, lets me truthful here, Let's be truthful here,
- 33:42Speaker 4: the Holocaust wasn't about race. And then one of the
- 33:45Speaker 4: other people off coming goes no, And then what the
- 33:47Speaker 4: hell did I just say? I want to know where's
- 33:50Speaker 4: her apology to realize that there's a little what what?
- 33:56Speaker 4: But like, not only is that just direct angel, just
- 34:00Speaker 4: the most absurd thing to say, but the Holocaust was
- 34:04Speaker 4: so incredibly specifically about race, Like she clearly just has
- 34:10Speaker 4: no idea what happened. She has no idea about that.
- 34:13Speaker 7: I don't know how she kept a job.
- 34:15Speaker 4: Because even so, there's obviously for centuries and centuries Jews
- 34:19Speaker 4: have been persecuted by all sorts of societies and countries
- 34:22Speaker 4: and kingdoms, and and and they extradited, deported, treated appallingly, killed, blood,
- 34:28Speaker 4: you know, blood libel, that terrible conspiracy theory before the
- 34:31Speaker 4: Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which the Nazis relied
- 34:34Speaker 4: on and the Russians also quite enjoyed. But in all
- 34:39Speaker 4: the centuries previously, right, the Jews would be round up,
- 34:42Speaker 4: they'd be deported, though he treated absolutely appallingly, but they
- 34:45Speaker 4: could convert to Christianity and save their skin. Right, So
- 34:48Speaker 4: obviously most of them didn't do that because they believe
- 34:50Speaker 4: in Jahweh. But I'm not going to say his name
- 34:53Speaker 4: unless I'm in the Holy of Holies. But whatever the
- 34:56Speaker 4: point being, with Hitler and the Nazis, there was nothing
- 34:59Speaker 4: you could do. You couldn't convert. Hitler believed purely that Judahism,
- 35:05Speaker 4: being Jewish was a blood disease, that it was in
- 35:07Speaker 4: your blood and you couldn't get rid of it. So
- 35:08Speaker 4: you could swear on a stack of Bibles that you
- 35:11Speaker 4: were card carrying Christian Church going member of the Nazi Party,
- 35:14Speaker 4: and it would do absolutely nothing. It was purely to
- 35:17Speaker 4: do with race. He saw the Jews purely as a race,
- 35:20Speaker 4: not as a religion, purely as a race. And so
- 35:23Speaker 4: and that's why that's why he exterminated them all person
- 35:26Speaker 4: He wanted to just get them all out of Gremany.
- 35:28Speaker 4: They thought, you know what, not, we'll just kill them all.
- 35:30Speaker 4: And so for someone to say that, it's like.
- 35:33Speaker 7: It wasn't about raceless.
- 35:35Speaker 4: It just blows my mind that someone can live so
- 35:38Speaker 4: many years on this planet and that TV show and
- 35:43Speaker 4: just still like about the Nazis, Like, how could you
- 35:46Speaker 4: get something wrong about the Nazi? Oh no, it was
- 35:48Speaker 4: just that it was just man's in humanity to man.
- 35:50Speaker 5: It's like, lady, not all ladies.
- 35:53Speaker 4: I had a very clear hierarchy, not a historian.
- 35:56Speaker 7: Before we go to a break tonight, a school.
- 35:59Speaker 1: Year of West Primary school to be ah, to be specific,
- 36:03Speaker 1: Heartler has sung a bastardized version of our anthem. This
- 36:08Speaker 1: is what they're trying to convince kids. Our anthem is nowadays.
- 36:11Speaker 1: I can't let you go without you Hearing the dulcet
- 36:15Speaker 1: tones of Judith Durham singing her version of our anthem
- 36:22Speaker 1: are the bones.
- 36:26Speaker 5: To the respectation and no honory?
- 36:33Speaker 1: But that stra.
- 36:41Speaker 5: What is this perversion?
- 36:44Speaker 7: I'm not honoring the dreaming.
- 36:46Speaker 1: It means absolutely nothing to me. What is this? She's
- 36:50Speaker 1: basically written DEI into our national anthem as well? Can
- 36:54Speaker 1: you imagine getting little kids to do this? You should
- 36:58Speaker 1: be a jailable events, so the law of.
- 37:00Speaker 4: Got you're a musician, Judith, if you're going to change
- 37:02Speaker 4: anything about the Australian national anthems.
- 37:08Speaker 3: On that note, we're going to go to a break
- 37:10Speaker 3: stick around.
- 37:10Speaker 2: When we come back, we look at what's making news
- 37:12Speaker 2: in tomorrow's papies.
- 37:18Speaker 3: Welcome back.
- 37:18Speaker 2: Well, let's have a look at what tomorrow's papers are going.
- 37:21Speaker 2: With most of them, as you can imagine, lead with
- 37:23Speaker 2: the story of Julian asan driving back Ralia. We'll have
- 37:27Speaker 2: a look at the Canbra Times, which goes with the
- 37:30Speaker 2: headline or deal ends in Canberra Assans Lands Home.
- 37:33Speaker 4: Oh that's just.
- 37:36Speaker 5: No ordeal.
- 37:38Speaker 4: Why till you see Cabra. Please just take me back
- 37:41Speaker 4: to Belmarsh.
- 37:42Speaker 2: Most people's ordeals begin in Canbra Assan's Lands Home free
- 37:46Speaker 2: after fourteen years, Julian Assandra's return to Australia, the article says,
- 37:51Speaker 2: marks the combination of a dramatic shift in Australia's position
- 37:54Speaker 2: on the controversial Wiki leaks founder. The article goes on
- 37:59Speaker 2: really to talk about Anthony Albanesi's involvement in getting Assange
- 38:04Speaker 2: home to Australia.
- 38:06Speaker 4: Waiting for it now, Liz, so imagine now that the
- 38:08Speaker 4: pad your.
- 38:10Speaker 1: Hero that's gotten a side eye from me, A good one,
- 38:14Speaker 1: but not enough.
- 38:16Speaker 5: For a vote.
- 38:16Speaker 3: We'll have a look.
- 38:19Speaker 2: He didn't waste any time posting a photograph of himself
- 38:22Speaker 2: on the phone to Julian Assange.
- 38:24Speaker 5: Is he could be on the phone to anyone, Well.
- 38:26Speaker 2: It was probably a stage photo. But Albanez he told
- 38:29Speaker 2: the world that Assange had referred to he and his
- 38:33Speaker 2: team as the quote diplomatic a team and that had
- 38:37Speaker 2: been his calm, methodical, patient diplomacy, which will be the
- 38:41Speaker 2: first time that this government has done anything with a
- 38:44Speaker 2: degree of talk about themselves.
- 38:47Speaker 1: Like this.
- 38:51Speaker 4: Got Julian Assange, but.
- 38:52Speaker 3: It got better.
- 38:53Speaker 2: And then he said, I'm a politician who gets things done.
- 38:56Speaker 2: This would be about the first thing he's gotten done
- 38:59Speaker 2: in two years.
- 39:00Speaker 3: On it's so Julian, Julia.
- 39:07Speaker 1: He can't help with cost of living. He can't give
- 39:09Speaker 1: you the two hundred and seventy five bucks off your
- 39:12Speaker 1: power bills, and he promised he's every single target that
- 39:16Speaker 1: they've set for their green dream is failing, and every
- 39:18Speaker 1: energy company is like help, no, this is not possible.
- 39:23Speaker 5: I can go on.
- 39:23Speaker 4: But that's why he released Julie because we all know
- 39:27Speaker 4: that Julianasane is the messiah and he can fix everything.
- 39:30Speaker 4: So we're just getting you know, you're a convert job absolutely,
- 39:33Speaker 4: Julian Massange. I mean, you know, people, the word hero
- 39:36Speaker 4: gets banded around too much these days, but I think
- 39:39Speaker 4: not Cape superhero, well some of them where there's weird.
- 39:43Speaker 3: He entered into a plea deal.
- 39:45Speaker 2: I had a freedom just to get home, but have
- 39:47Speaker 2: a listened to one of his legal teams, as Jennifer Robinson,
- 39:52Speaker 2: she certainly didn't sound very circumspect regarding what's happened.
- 39:58Speaker 11: This is journalism, this is the criminalization of journalism. And
- 40:03Speaker 11: while the plea deal does not set a judicial precedent,
- 40:05Speaker 11: it's not a court decision, the prosecution itself sets a
- 40:08Speaker 11: precedent that can be used against the rest of the media.
- 40:14Speaker 2: So Sane may have done a plea deal and pleaded guilty,
- 40:17Speaker 2: but certainly defiant.
- 40:18Speaker 3: He didn't speak tonight.
- 40:20Speaker 1: Well, he only pleaded because he has some serious heart problems. Now,
- 40:24Speaker 1: I mean, you don't get to spend fourteen years locked
- 40:26Speaker 1: up and then be tip top in your health. And
- 40:29Speaker 1: also the reports of his declining mental health over men.
- 40:33Speaker 2: So he didn't mean he's pleads at all.
- 40:37Speaker 4: But you can't plead guilty and then how and I
- 40:39Speaker 4: had my fingers crossed. I don't really mean it like
- 40:41Speaker 4: surely you and.
- 40:42Speaker 5: He's not saying that.
- 40:43Speaker 3: I that's just as soon.
- 40:47Speaker 7: Not even want one charge of espionage.
- 40:50Speaker 5: Please look if you.
- 40:51Speaker 4: Want to be a martyr or not. If you're going
- 40:53Speaker 4: to be a martyr, out.
- 40:55Speaker 1: Of fourteen years of martyrdom, I think is enough. Five
- 40:58Speaker 1: years and the high security marsh prison being treated like
- 41:01Speaker 1: an absolute.
- 41:03Speaker 3: Seven years, and.
- 41:08Speaker 4: With the cat and stuff, and the stuff he did
- 41:10Speaker 4: with the cat.
- 41:11Speaker 1: You would not have him have a cat.
- 41:14Speaker 4: Well, he was doing weird like it was. That's enough.
- 41:19Speaker 4: I'm just saying I should have seen apparently the smell
- 41:22Speaker 4: was just anyway, speaking of something that's a bit on
- 41:26Speaker 4: the nose. Herald suns run with taxed to death. The
- 41:31Speaker 4: cost and this is this is never a good look
- 41:32Speaker 4: for a government. I'm just gonna you know, a bit
- 41:34Speaker 4: of free pr advice. The cost of dying is set
- 41:38Speaker 4: to skyrocket in Victoria, with the Alan government considering introducing
- 41:42Speaker 4: what has been panned as a quote death tax by stealth.
- 41:46Speaker 4: This story is like a bad penny, it keeps coming back.
- 41:49Speaker 4: The Labour's got some secret plan to introduce death taxes.
- 41:52Speaker 5: Don't do it.
- 41:52Speaker 4: It's a really bad idea, not a vote. Grieving people
- 41:58Speaker 4: don't like being they've got a tax bill when they've
- 42:01Speaker 4: just lost a loved one. I don't know people are
- 42:03Speaker 4: funny like that.
- 42:03Speaker 1: I mean, it is utterly disgusting that people can work
- 42:07Speaker 1: their guts out hopefully everyone hopes to leave something to
- 42:10Speaker 1: the kids or the grandkids, or if they didn't have kids,
- 42:13Speaker 1: a niece or nephew, who knows.
- 42:15Speaker 5: And then the government comes.
- 42:16Speaker 1: Along and be like, oh, we see that you're dead now,
- 42:19Speaker 1: and we know that your entire life, we've taxed it.
- 42:21Speaker 1: When you've received money, we've taxed you. When you've spent.
- 42:24Speaker 7: Money, we've taxed you.
- 42:26Speaker 1: If you invest it, then you get taxed as well.
- 42:28Speaker 5: You're also taxed.
- 42:29Speaker 1: If you just hold on to it, you get a
- 42:31Speaker 1: car because you need to get to work.
- 42:33Speaker 7: We tax that as well. I mean, there is.
- 42:35Speaker 1: No end to this, and now you die and they
- 42:39Speaker 1: want a piece of your pie.
- 42:40Speaker 7: It is utterly vile.
- 42:43Speaker 1: How did we get to fighting a revolutionary war over
- 42:47Speaker 1: a two percent tax to allowing these flogs to beat
- 42:51Speaker 1: us this badly?
- 42:53Speaker 7: While we're on the handstet side, just very quickly five to.
- 42:56Speaker 4: The right of tax the American colonists were paying was
- 42:59Speaker 4: nothing caned to the rate of tax that Britain's in Britain,
- 43:03Speaker 4: in Britain were paying the American Revolutionary War, you guys were.
- 43:08Speaker 1: And neither was a tiny bit of what we're paying.
- 43:12Speaker 4: Now colonial subjects.
- 43:14Speaker 2: The craziest part of this story is you've got this
- 43:16Speaker 2: headline on the front page of the Herald's son, tax
- 43:19Speaker 2: to death.
- 43:19Speaker 3: You were absolutely right.
- 43:20Speaker 2: This is the last thing the government wants to see
- 43:23Speaker 2: on the front page.
- 43:24Speaker 3: And all of that to raise thirty three million dollars.
- 43:27Speaker 4: Yeah, it's amazing. I think maybe I've got another good picture.
- 43:31Speaker 4: If you want to sell this guy, you could say
- 43:32Speaker 4: that it's actually an efficiency drive, because we all know
- 43:35Speaker 4: the only two things that are certain in life are
- 43:37Speaker 4: death and taxes. And now they've combined the two ah
- 43:42Speaker 4: Tho's government can't be official.
- 43:43Speaker 1: Were you the brains behind this joke? To the front
- 43:46Speaker 1: page of the Northern Territory News. Now, bomb squad detonates
- 43:49Speaker 1: World War II relic hidden below car park last from
- 43:54Speaker 1: the past. A construction crew narrowly avoided becoming the latest
- 43:58Speaker 1: World War II fatalities eight decades after the war, after
- 44:02Speaker 1: pulling up a fifty kilo bomb with an excavator and
- 44:07Speaker 1: prompting a mass x evacuation. I was about to say
- 44:11Speaker 1: excavation evacuation at the Darwin Waterfront.
- 44:14Speaker 7: The bomb, which lay.
- 44:15Speaker 1: Dormant under a busy car park for years, has now
- 44:19Speaker 1: been detonated.
- 44:20Speaker 7: I bet I like that.
- 44:21Speaker 4: I bet the car park. I bet the bowels of
- 44:24Speaker 4: the builders who dug it up had a mass evacuation,
- 44:26Speaker 4: but they realized they're going to bomb.
- 44:28Speaker 2: Well, imagine if you'd been parking in that car park
- 44:30Speaker 2: above it for you know, I don't know the last month,
- 44:32Speaker 2: in the last twelve months, I've been like.
- 44:35Speaker 4: Well, you can do this. It's amazing, but you can
- 44:36Speaker 4: do this underground tour of all the little sort of
- 44:39Speaker 4: mines and tunnels and pipes and stuff that were underneath
- 44:42Speaker 4: the defenses of Darwin in World War Two. It's wow, incredible.
- 44:46Speaker 4: I wasn't aware that there was a live bomb waiting
- 44:48Speaker 4: to be exploded at the time that I did it.
- 44:49Speaker 2: Let's go to the front page of the Tasmanian Mercury newspaper.
- 44:53Speaker 2: Now the front page has got a story about the
- 44:55Speaker 2: new AFL stadium, which there's not much to say about that.
- 44:59Speaker 3: But what caught our is the presence of.
- 45:01Speaker 2: What appears to be Chris Kenny there with the AFL CEO.
- 45:05Speaker 2: Now we know Chris Kenny loves his AFL, but what's
- 45:08Speaker 2: he doing in test?
- 45:09Speaker 1: I had no idea with AFL boss Andrew Dillon, who
- 45:13Speaker 1: says hitting timelines are critical in the seven hundred and
- 45:16Speaker 1: fifteen million mcquarie Points stadium building.
- 45:19Speaker 5: Hobart, Chris, do you have a vested interest?
- 45:23Speaker 2: It's a cuny Brian willshoot modern point.
- 45:26Speaker 3: Christ General manager Kenny has.
- 45:28Speaker 4: Really let himself gore. Thank you very much. The fine, fine,
- 45:35Speaker 4: fine piece of reportage in the Newcastle Herald. Min's backs
- 45:40Speaker 4: MP what aheadline? Well, I hope so, Premier, but not
- 45:45Speaker 4: just any MP a criminal. He's not a criminal, Premier
- 45:50Speaker 4: Christmin says Tim Krackenthorpe has his support to standing in
- 45:53Speaker 4: the next election, despite the corruption watchdog finding the Newcastle
- 45:56Speaker 4: MP breached the public's trust by knowingly failing to declare
- 46:00Speaker 4: conflict of interest relating to family properties in the system
- 46:04Speaker 4: in the city. Oh my god, a politician breached public trust.
- 46:11Speaker 7: So why is he backing him? I mean you know that,
- 46:16Speaker 7: I want to say, for as look at.
- 46:19Speaker 4: Those check lines. Look at those checkbnes. Liz, tell me
- 46:21Speaker 4: you don't love him.
- 46:22Speaker 5: Look at it.
- 46:24Speaker 3: We're going to end up there.
- 46:24Speaker 2: We're going to go to a break when we come back.
- 46:26Speaker 2: A politician betting that he will lose the election though
- 46:30Speaker 2: he's trying to win it.
- 46:31Speaker 4: That's come out in month, welcome back.
- 46:36Speaker 2: Well, this is if you were going to Hobart and
- 46:38Speaker 2: wanted to look at, say a Picasso, where might you
- 46:40Speaker 2: go to find a Picasso?
- 46:42Speaker 1: These the ladies toilets in the Mona Museum in Tasmania.
- 46:47Speaker 1: You may recall this is the same museum. This is
- 46:50Speaker 1: the same art gallery that was effectively, well successfully i
- 46:55Speaker 1: should say, sued by Jason Law because they had a
- 46:58Speaker 1: lady's only part of the gallery and he was a
- 47:01Speaker 1: man and he wanted to see what was inside, and
- 47:04Speaker 1: so he sued them on the basis of discrimination. He won.
- 47:08Speaker 1: They're now appealing that decision. But in the meantime, the
- 47:11Speaker 1: lady at the center of the kafuffle, who is in
- 47:14Speaker 1: fact the wife of the owner of said museum, decided
- 47:17Speaker 1: to hang the pacasos up.
- 47:20Speaker 7: In the ladies' toilets.
- 47:21Speaker 5: So there you go.
- 47:22Speaker 1: She got her way anyway, So funny.
- 47:26Speaker 4: She's there trolling.
- 47:27Speaker 1: Totally love it.
- 47:29Speaker 4: And the interesting thing is that by putting the stuff
- 47:31Speaker 4: in the ladies's ache and getting someone to complain, that
- 47:34Speaker 4: was actually part of the installation, so that actually, yes,
- 47:38Speaker 4: so the art, if you like or whatever, the point
- 47:41Speaker 4: of it was to make no discriminated against it. So
- 47:46Speaker 4: I don't like got that silly boat stuff, but this
- 47:48Speaker 4: is actually really clever, crazy stuff. But I did remind
- 47:53Speaker 4: me of one question I desperately wanted to ask you this.
- 47:56Speaker 4: Should Chelsea Manning be allowed to use the female toilet?
- 48:00Speaker 7: No, of course not.
- 48:01Speaker 4: Okay, that's very consistent.
- 48:04Speaker 2: I'll tell you what Mona have done is they've got
- 48:07Speaker 2: themselves free publicity for the better years through this thing,
- 48:11Speaker 2: and guaranteed a massive lineup for the women's.
- 48:13Speaker 3: Toilets before we go.
- 48:14Speaker 2: The UK election is upon us, but candidates are dropping
- 48:18Speaker 2: out all over the place because of gambling allegations. Rishie
- 48:22Speaker 2: Sunak has had to stand down two of his candidates
- 48:24Speaker 2: who apparently were betting on the timing of the election,
- 48:28Speaker 2: and now Labor have had to sack a candidate, Kevin Craig,
- 48:32Speaker 2: who has been found to.
- 48:34Speaker 3: Be betting against himself.
- 48:37Speaker 2: He made a statement saying, throughout my life, I've enjoyed
- 48:39Speaker 2: the odd bet for fun, whether on politics or horses.
- 48:43Speaker 2: A few weeks ago, when I thought I'd never win
- 48:45Speaker 2: this seat anyway, I put a bet on the Tories
- 48:47Speaker 2: to win here with the intention here we go of
- 48:50Speaker 2: giving local charities he was doing Kevin Craig do so
- 48:58Speaker 2: here he is running for public but betting on the
- 49:01Speaker 2: side that he will lose the election.
- 49:03Speaker 4: Imagine if it actually won. Just how Morosi be in
- 49:06Speaker 4: his victory spens. Yeah, I'd like to thank all the volunteers.
- 49:10Speaker 2: We don't know how much money in both in the case, wi,
- 49:14Speaker 2: I just love it so much anyway. Well, I mean,
- 49:16Speaker 2: if he won, he was excited. If he lost, he
- 49:19Speaker 2: got a consolation prize.
- 49:20Speaker 3: That's it from us. Stick around coming up in just
- 49:22Speaker 3: a moment is the reader. Pennehy show
