  Speaker 1: Tonight as you've heard you, Center Price joins the Liberals,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: but it really costs the Nationals. Green's leader and in
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: bandam Its is beaten but goes out with more of
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: the niceness that helped cost them his seat. Plus how
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Ukraine is ruining Putin's big parade tomorrow, causing fear in
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Moscow and massive delays at Russian airports. And we'll cross
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: the Rome as the Cardinals vote tonight for a new pope.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: But let's get to the big story now. I am
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: sure you're as sick as I am of all the
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: trawling through the ins and outs of this election debarcle
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: look Labour one, the Liberals scot smashed, move on. But
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: today there was more upheaval. And in my last show
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: for this week, I want to sum up. We want
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: to show you the big picture and the trouble that
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: looks like coming for the coalition, not just for the
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Liberals but the Nationals. Now. Of course, first i'll give
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: you the quick headlines in thirty seconds, and it's another
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: day of chaos for the coalition and just desserts by
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: the way, for people who betrayed Jewish Australians at a
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: band the Green's leader finally admits he was beaten. He
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: gave a vicious good bye today which I'll show later.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Just into Nampa, jimper Price is quitting the Nationals to
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: become a Liberal, probably for a leadership position, but with whom.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: And David Little Proud, the Nationals leader, faces a revolt
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: from climate realists on his parties right, And meanwhile, Mark Dreyfus,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: the Albaneze government's attorney general, looks like getting dumped. He
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: sold his soul a Jewish MP who preferenced the Greens
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: the party for jew haters, yet still looks like getting
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: the boot. Fancy betraying your principles and still losing that way,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: you end up with nothing at all, no pride and
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: no gain. Right, that's all done now the big picture,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: the big picture problem for the Liberals, particularly leadership, and
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: normally you would have expected the Liberals to choose as
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: their new leader Shadow treasurer Angus Taylor. He's very smart,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: he's conservative, extremely hard working, and he knows economics inside
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: out in the party that has a lot of people
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: that don't. If you saw his debate with the Labor
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: treasure Jim Charmes and Sky News you would have seen
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: how he ran rings around cocky Jim and now with
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the enter Price during the Liberals, Taylor could make her
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: and Tim Wilson, the liberal left gay a part of
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: a leadership group for a more diverse look. Is Price
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: half an hour ago?
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: It's I've always felt like the Liberal Party room is
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: my natural home, given you know, the Liberal Party is
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: the freedom Party, the party of responsibility. Given the current circumstances,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: I think now more than ever, when it's strong people
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: within the Liberal Party, we need to be able to rebuild.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: We need to ensure that we don't lose support.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: So that's a pretty good case for Angus Taylor. But
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: it seems the leadership may instead go to Susan Lee.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: She's the Liberals deputy leader. She is backed by the
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: liberal left as well as of climate activists with deep pockets.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: And what if just enter Price and Wilson joined her instead,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Now that would be even more clearly a sign of
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: the Liberals having a fresh face and a new approach,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: being more diverse, more open than media would love that story,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: and influential liberals and those green liberal power brokers like
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Michael Photius would love it. Except one crucial detail being
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: overlooked by a lot of people. Has hasn't he actually
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: shown any great grasp of economics, a foreign policy, of
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: policy development of any sort. In a debate with Anthony Albanezi,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: how would she actually go when the rubber really did
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: hit the road? In fact, she was at one time
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: forced to quit cabinet over an expensive scandal, and three
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: years ago embarrassed herself by opposing Labour's Stage three tax
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: cuts before she supported them.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Will you roll back whatever changes are made?
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Well, this is our position.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: I want to be very clear about this.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: I did not say we would roll back Labour's new proposal.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: So what's happened? Why is Lee seen by men is
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: as the liberal's answer, assuming though compromise candidate comes through
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: the middle. Well first, too many liberals, especially of the left,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: are peddling a self serving lie, backed by Labor and
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: men in the media and the Greens too, that the
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Liberals lost the election because they moved too far to
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: the right. Now that is false, as I've shown here
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: on the show and in my column newspapers today, there
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: was nothing right wing at all about the coalition's campaign.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I mean it was actually promising higher taxes, promising more debt,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: it buried their defense policy, and idiotically promised to ban
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: working from home for public servants and then changed its mind.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: None of that is right wing. It was in competence
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: and not ideology that killed the coalition. But what's really
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: hurting Taylor personally is not just that he is conservative
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: with this narrative going on, oh we've got to move
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: to the left, more that he is the fall guy
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: from some of those terrible mistakes in the coalition's campaign,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: like promising higher taxes than even Labor did, like no
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: tax reform, a mess of policies really that were just
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: riveled out without a coherent plot, like it was, oh, well,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: if you didn't like these policies, I've got another one here,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: would you like this one? Like I said before, those
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: failures are going to make AGAs Taylor a puncting bag
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: for Labor for the next three years. Now he does
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: have excuses. Taylor actually wanted to promise real tax reform,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: like stopping the government from stealing more and more taxes
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: from you through bracket creep, you know, stopping that theft
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: by indexing the tax rates. That would have been a
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: great policy for the election, but Oppositions Leader bit of
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Dutton blocked it, and Dutton also rejected other Taylor ideas. Personally,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: I think Taylor should have said so publicly. He should
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: be going out there and saying what his agenda really
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: is changing the narrative. You won't, so the blame is
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: going to Sick and some Liberals will reckon Well is
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: already now unelectable the liberal treasurer, treasury spokesman who wanted
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: more taxes and they might even be rugged. But is
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: susant the really up to the job now as deputy leader?
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, where was she in this campaign, Tobaker? Why
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: didn't she stop the working from home band? I mean,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: wasn't she in charge of women's issues? The problem gets
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: even worse things for the Liberals. If this is why
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Taylor can't be leader, all those terrible economic policies. If
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: this is why Taylor can't be leader, it's also why
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Taylor can't be the shadow treasurer. And if he has
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: given any other job, unless it's something that he might
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: really want, I don't know foreign affairs, chances are that
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: he will walk down tools at least one of the
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: few people there are economic smarts gone in a party
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: already so short of talent. I mean, why would he stay.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Taylor made an absolute motza as a management consultant and
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: an agribusiness entrepreneur. I'm sure he didn't give up all
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: that and go into politics to serve under Susan Lee
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: as a housing spokesman or Minister for Veterans' Affairs or
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: health or something. And one last thing, just to underline
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: how much trouble the Coalition is in, especially if it
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: just does the lazy thing and becomes a cheap knockoff
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: version of labor Me too on Climate Nationals leader David
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Little Proud more trouble on two fronts, actually including a
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: revolt if he does go along with the Liberals saying
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: they moved to the left and got to stop fighting
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: the climate wars. There is no way some of his party,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: but Toby Joyce back kind of informative leader Mark McCormick,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: will put up with that. They most certainly won't now,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: and they are going to fight, especially any move to
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: back Labour's green energy revolution when that revolution is already
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: falling to pieces. Why would you stop now attacking something
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: you are already fighting and three years from now it
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: will be a disaster. And Little Proud's other trouble with
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: the Nats Price walking out. That means the Nationals have
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: just four senators left in the Senate, obviously, when they
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: need five there to get the money and the travel
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: allowances and the office that you would get for a
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: leader and a whip if you've got five, they've got four.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Now those resources are now lost to the party. No
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: wonder the Nationals. Bridget McArthur was furious.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: Today, incredibly disappointed.
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: Loyalty matters in the game of politics, and so it
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: is incredibly disappointing.
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: I shared David's disappointment.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Sorry Bridget McKenzie. What am i Kenzie? What am I saying? Anyway?
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: So you see there's more bittiness and trouble and for
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: the coalition, I mean, these are choppy warders. But let's
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: go back to the big picture, the leadership one. The
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Liberals risk rejecting Angus Taylor, a talented man for an
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: unknown quantity who is at least a woman, losing Taylor
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: primarily because his escapegoat, and she's a symbol in an
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: age where seeming as everything now hear me here, I
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: do not say Susan Leewood fail as a leader. Meta
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: the other day she's very nice, but being perfectly fair,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: her qualities are yet to be seen, the leadership qualities.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: And does she even know the right direction from here
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: when the people backing are saying go left, go left,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: go left. Now. One of the shocks for the Liberals
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: is they expected to win a whole lot of seats
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: of Victoria. Never happened. I think there's a clue joining
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: me is Jeff Kennett. He is the last premier to
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: win two elections in red Victoria, so if the Liberals
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: did go too far left, he sure would know it.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Jeff Kenneth, thank you so much for your time. Labor,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: the Greens and the media left, plus some on the
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: liberal left say the party lost because we went too
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: far to the right. I can't identify the right wing
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: policies they're talking about. But is that how you see it?
• 11:17
  Speaker 7: No?
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: I don't, Andrew and good evening.
• 11:20
  Speaker 8: We lost the election because of the mistakes we made,
• 11:23
  Speaker 8: and there were too many of them, and the last
• 11:26
  Speaker 8: one being, of course, when we said we weren't going
• 11:28
  Speaker 8: to honor Labour's tax cuts. When ever has the Liberal
• 11:33
  Speaker 8: Party supported higher taxes so no, we lost the election
• 11:38
  Speaker 8: because we failed. And when you make mistakes or our consequences,
• 11:41
  Speaker 8: it had nothing to do with the left or the right.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: It was just the.
• 11:45
  Speaker 8: Way in which we presented ourselves to the public.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: I cannot believe to this day that a liberal partygoes
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: in election promising higher taxes in the cost of living
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: crisis as absolutely flaws me some on the liberal left
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: in our saying we've seeing nuclear power stations was a
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: huge mistake. That promise must be scrapped. Should it be, No,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: it should not.
• 12:07
  Speaker 8: And that was the one thing amongst our policies that
• 12:10
  Speaker 8: was futuristic that said to Australia we are going to
• 12:14
  Speaker 8: put in nuclear power as a component of the energy
• 12:19
  Speaker 8: supply to ensure we have consistent energy not only for
• 12:23
  Speaker 8: households but for industries in the years to come. Announcing
• 12:28
  Speaker 8: it was right, That was a good policy and it
• 12:30
  Speaker 8: should not be dropped and we should continue to articulate
• 12:34
  Speaker 8: it and to advocate for it.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Must object to you using the word continue to articulate
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: for it, because obviously that was barely done in this
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: last election campaign. How about start to articulate a good
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: case for nuclear power and win on the argument rather
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: than try to run from your own policy.
• 12:52
  Speaker 8: We're right to announce it, and the moment it was announced,
• 12:56
  Speaker 8: we should have had people prepared to come out and
• 12:58
  Speaker 8: support it. From a sign point of view, our spokesman
• 13:02
  Speaker 8: did a good job. There wasn't enough of it, so
• 13:04
  Speaker 8: I would be very, very distressed if the Liberal Party
• 13:07
  Speaker 8: dropped that component. And those who argue for dropping the
• 13:12
  Speaker 8: advocacy for nuclear power andrew are totally ignoring the fundamental
• 13:17
  Speaker 8: errors that were committed in the campaign. Obviously working from home,
• 13:22
  Speaker 8: Obviously the decision to sack what was it, forty one
• 13:26
  Speaker 8: thousand public servants without knowing where they're going to come from,
• 13:29
  Speaker 8: et cetera, c and then the tax break. No, it
• 13:32
  Speaker 8: was not a good campaign, so no point trying to
• 13:35
  Speaker 8: blame the one part of our offering that for Austranger's
• 13:40
  Speaker 8: interest made a great deal of sense.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Jeff Kennett, the new Liberal leader. It seems to be
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: a battle between Susan Lee, who's backed by the Liberal left,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: and conservative Angus Taylor. Normally I would say go for
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: the Conservatives. They tend to win elections for the Liberals,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: but I have to say that Taylor could now be damaged.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Goods because of the terrible economics policies in this campaign,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: like the text policy you're talking about. Is Susan Lee
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: now the best option, even though she hasn't been very
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: effective in pushing policies herself.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: Andrew, I am not interested in.
• 14:15
  Speaker 8: Supporting or indicating who aren't support based on left or right.
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: That doesn't interest me at all.
• 14:21
  Speaker 8: I am looking for the person who will bring the
• 14:24
  Speaker 8: party together in a discipline way, who has a lot
• 14:27
  Speaker 8: of worldly experiences, who has parliamentary experience, and who has
• 14:32
  Speaker 8: in this case been a very good loyal deputy. And
• 14:35
  Speaker 8: Susan to me is that candidate. I think she has
• 14:39
  Speaker 8: the capacity to bring the party together. I think she
• 14:43
  Speaker 8: has the capacity to present a different image of the
• 14:47
  Speaker 8: Liberal Party.
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: To the public.
• 14:49
  Speaker 8: And I think and I know that as a woman,
• 14:54
  Speaker 8: she will listen better than a lot of men will listen.
• 14:58
  Speaker 8: So to me, she's obvious choice. I'm not going to
• 15:02
  Speaker 8: be able to vote for as I'm not a parliamentarian.
• 15:04
  Speaker 8: And this has nothing to do with Angus Taylor or
• 15:08
  Speaker 8: anyone else.
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: It's my assessment.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: In your long career in politics, have you seen a
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: worse election campaign in Australia than this particular Liberal one.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: What lester should the party take from it?
• 15:21
  Speaker 8: No, I haven't seen a worse one andrew state or
• 15:24
  Speaker 8: federal from our point of view. As you remember, oppositions
• 15:29
  Speaker 8: don't win governments, governments lose it. In this case once
• 15:33
  Speaker 8: only the opposition lost the election and gave the Labor
• 15:38
  Speaker 8: Party a free kick. Having said that it's history, it's gone.
• 15:43
  Speaker 8: I'm not interested in a portioning blame. I want to
• 15:47
  Speaker 8: learn from the mistakes, but I'm very how would you
• 15:51
  Speaker 8: put it? Focused on the future? And please remember for
• 15:54
  Speaker 8: those commentators journalists who are saying the Liberal Party is shot,
• 16:00
  Speaker 8: we've had a bad election, but in life, things change
• 16:04
  Speaker 8: very quickly, and you only have to look at the
• 16:06
  Speaker 8: outcome of the Canadian election to realize that the opposition
• 16:10
  Speaker 8: was London to a brick on to win and then
• 16:13
  Speaker 8: they lost because of mister Trump coming to the fore,
• 16:16
  Speaker 8: and that all happened in a matter of weeks. You
• 16:19
  Speaker 8: and I and your viewers have no idea what Australia,
• 16:23
  Speaker 8: what the world is going to look like in three
• 16:25
  Speaker 8: years time. So given that's the factor, we're in the
• 16:30
  Speaker 8: Liberal Party or any other politician has both got to
• 16:35
  Speaker 8: advocate what we stand for, what we offer what the
• 16:39
  Speaker 8: future holds. And secondly, we've got to be prepared to
• 16:43
  Speaker 8: go out there and argue against those things that we
• 16:46
  Speaker 8: think will damage the country. The sadness about this election,
• 16:51
  Speaker 8: to me, the greatest sadness is that neither party put
• 16:57
  Speaker 8: a stake in the ground for the future with the
• 16:59
  Speaker 8: excess of nuclear power. There is no understanding by our
• 17:05
  Speaker 8: community as where our politicians want to take Australia five
• 17:10
  Speaker 8: years and ten years from now and how we're going
• 17:13
  Speaker 8: to get there. That is the greatest failure of this election,
• 17:16
  Speaker 8: more important than the Liberal Party's failure.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Jiff Ken could not have said it better. Thank you
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: so much, indeed for your.
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: Time, great pleasures. Stay well.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Now you might have seen that we're running that little
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: square in the corner of the screen there for you.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: That is a little chimney that comes up, I think
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: from the Sistine Chapel itself, and when you get a
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: puff of smoke, they burn the ballots for each round
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: of voting for a pope, they put some chemicals on it.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: So if it comes out white, we have a new pope.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: If it comes out black, they couldn't get the two
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: thirds majority, so we'll have it there. So you will
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: be among the very first in the world to know
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: what the result of the current balloting is. But before
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: we do that, the Liberals they're also getting told stop
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: the culture wars. Don't do culture wars. It's cost to
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: use killing us. But what culture wars did the Liberals
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: actually fight in this campaign? I mean, sure, eighty months
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: ago they fought the Voice, but they actually won that referendum.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: They were beating Labor in the polls straight after that,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: and then they stopped fighting. The fact is that most
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Australians they do hate the culture wars, but they hate
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: the culture wars that have started almost always by the
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: left against our history, against our flag, against their unity.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, the Poles will tell you this poll Australians
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: and welcome to country or whatever. So I reckon a
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: lot of ratepayers like me, just looking at the grassroots,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: thought great when we saw, in my case, our local
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: council Morning to Potential at South of Melbourne voting to
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: take money that was being sprayed on global warming propaganda
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: and put it more to Australia Day and to Ansect
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Day events, boost the you know, the US in this country,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: and to community services, practical stuff, not politics. Joining me
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: is the mayor, Anthony Marsh Anthony, can you I tell
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: you from a grateful rate payer, thank you, thank you,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: thank you. But what are you exactly doing and why?
• 19:19
  Speaker 9: So we're going through our first budget process after the
• 19:22
  Speaker 9: recent elections and I think we're seeing a reprioritization of
• 19:25
  Speaker 9: community money going back into community.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: But are you responding to a demand here or is
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: this your own idea? What's brought this on? Because I
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: think we look at cutting money to climate projects, you're
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: putting your head in the furnace.
• 19:43
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean it takes some bravery, I think to
• 19:46
  Speaker 9: have these conversations these days. But if we look at
• 19:48
  Speaker 9: our if we look at our feedback, you know, we've
• 19:50
  Speaker 9: just gone through a budget survey and we've had three thousand,
• 19:53
  Speaker 9: six hundred dollar people respond to that.
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: We've gone through a.
• 19:56
  Speaker 9: Council plan, a council vision consultation process which you do it.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: There start of every council term.
• 20:01
  Speaker 9: And it's pretty cristically that people want us to get
• 20:04
  Speaker 9: back to core infrastructure. They want us to you know,
• 20:07
  Speaker 9: a renewed community buildings, they want.
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: Us to fix drainage.
• 20:11
  Speaker 9: And you know it's not to say climate change is unimportant,
• 20:13
  Speaker 9: but it's definitely not ranking as a high priority across
• 20:16
  Speaker 9: that feedback that we hear. So I think, you know,
• 20:18
  Speaker 9: this counsel is trying to respond directly to the feedback
• 20:21
  Speaker 9: rather than just assuming people want us to do this stuff.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Yes, just a quiet word. I don't think Morning to
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Peninsula is going to save the world from global warming,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: not in its own even Australian on its own. What
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: it's their reaction been.
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: I mean it's pretty good. It depends on where you look.
• 20:38
  Speaker 9: If you go looking in certain corners on the internet,
• 20:40
  Speaker 9: you get a bit.
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: Of a slab.
• 20:42
  Speaker 9: But you know, I'd speak to hundreds of people a
• 20:45
  Speaker 9: week and I think the general feedback from sort of
• 20:47
  Speaker 9: the seventy percent across the center as saying, you know,
• 20:50
  Speaker 9: it's good to see a council focusing back on local
• 20:53
  Speaker 9: community stuff. You know, it's not to say people on
• 20:55
  Speaker 9: the piness who don't care about the right man. I mean,
• 20:56
  Speaker 9: look at my background. We love where we live. It's
• 20:58
  Speaker 9: a beautiful place. But they want to see is planning trees,
• 21:01
  Speaker 9: protecting coastal infrastructure, ensuring we have adequate drainage. You know,
• 21:05
  Speaker 9: that's stuff that matters to local community in that sort
• 21:07
  Speaker 9: of climate space, not you know what we used to
• 21:10
  Speaker 9: do buying carbon offsets or of funding private individuals to
• 21:13
  Speaker 9: upgrade their air condition and that's where we saw some
• 21:15
  Speaker 9: of this money going. And I think the Council finally said, look,
• 21:18
  Speaker 9: enough is enough. We need to put that stuff back
• 21:20
  Speaker 9: to those community projects that get broad community outcome, not
• 21:24
  Speaker 9: the sort of you know, feel good climate grants that
• 21:26
  Speaker 9: we're seeing.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: Anthony, by the way, and the next time I talk
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: to you, can you take that poster off behind you?
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: I mean more than to Potinicula. Too many people coming here.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: I want to kept a secret. So if you could
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: do that, I'd be grateful. One last thing, what made
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: you decide to channel it into Antac Day and Australia
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Day stuff.
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: Well that's just one part.
• 21:48
  Speaker 9: But again, people want to see us investing community events,
• 21:50
  Speaker 9: whether that's Anzac Day, Australia Day, or you know we've
• 21:53
  Speaker 9: got a film festival, that's great.
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: We've got some other cultural festivals and events that we do.
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: And I think it was a lot of people said
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: we've lost.
• 22:00
  Speaker 9: That sort of identity on Australia Day, where we're not
• 22:02
  Speaker 9: celebrating that as much. We do already give grants to
• 22:05
  Speaker 9: some of the local committees that run local events, but
• 22:07
  Speaker 9: it's sort of increasing the funding there because I think
• 22:10
  Speaker 9: even around Christmas people say, you know, often if you
• 22:12
  Speaker 9: walk down the main street at Mornington, there's not a
• 22:14
  Speaker 9: lot happening, and people said, you know, where have we
• 22:17
  Speaker 9: lost the investment in that sort of community spirit around
• 22:19
  Speaker 9: these important commemorative events. So you know, there's only so
• 22:23
  Speaker 9: much money to go around, so it's just a bit
• 22:24
  Speaker 9: of a rare prioritization and I think that was one
• 22:26
  Speaker 9: that we're again, we're getting a lot of feedback. I
• 22:28
  Speaker 9: remember on Australia this year there was a post with
• 22:31
  Speaker 9: a couple of flags in Mornington and it was the
• 22:33
  Speaker 9: most engaged post I think I've ever seen on Facebook.
• 22:36
  Speaker 9: And I think that just shows a community. We still
• 22:38
  Speaker 9: love being Australian, we love celebrating the day, and I
• 22:40
  Speaker 9: acknowledge it means different things to different people, but that
• 22:42
  Speaker 9: doesn't mean we shouldn't be getting behind locals that want
• 22:45
  Speaker 9: to run events.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: On that day.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Anthony Mash, you're singing to my heart, thank you so
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: much indeed for your time.
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: I had.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: This spirit catches on with more and more councils. In fact,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: I think it is. I've been talking to a number
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: of men over the last year or two and there's
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: a real spirit. Now let us get back to bringing
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: the community together, not on funding causes that divide. After
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: the break, we will cross the room where the cardinals
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: are voting for a new pope right now, and we
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: hope we'll put some smoke up that chimney quite soon. Well,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: let's go to the politics are now playing out and
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: the Vatican. The cardinals are locked in the Sistine Chapel
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: have already had two, maybe three votes to decide who
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: the next pope will be. Joining me is Skynes correspondent
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Stash Butler, Sash, great to see you again. What do
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: you know what's happening so far?
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: Well, right now we're waiting for the morning session of
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: voting to be completed. So the way it works, the
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: way it's going to work today here in Rome, is
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: that we're going to have a maximum of four votes
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: a day, two in the morning, two in the afternoon
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: when those ballots are hell, if a pope is elected,
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: if those one hundred and thirty three cardinals reach a
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: two thirds majority, then they will send white smoke up
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: through the chimney of the Sistine Chapel. There's a live
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: feed with a close up of that chimney, probably the
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: most famous chimney in the world, waiting for that smoke
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: to come out. If in the first vote of each
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: of those two sessions, So the first vote this morning,
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: the first vote the afternoon, they don't reach an agreement,
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: they'll immediately hold the second one.
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: So we're not going to get four.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: Smokes, four puffs of smoke. We're only going to get
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: a maximum of two today. So it looks like the
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: way things stand, the Cardinals are holding their third vote
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: over all, their second vote today as we speak, and
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: we're waiting right now for an indication of which way
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: that went.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Stephia, I think they're really missing an opportunity to dramatize this.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: I mean bundling them up, you know, not doing it
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: with every vote. I mean, where's the show biz in that.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Can you tell me each time there is a ballot, right,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: the ballot papers get well, not each time now they
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: bundle them up, as you say, but the ball of
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: papers do get burned. The smoke up goes up the
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: chimney that's sort of behind you to the left of
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: their screen. I think and the smoke. Oh okay, good
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: on you. The smoke is black, no clear winner a
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: cardinal two thirds of votes. If it's white, then there
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: is How did they get the different colors?
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: Well, that's a good question. I mean, this is, you know,
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: a tradition that's been centuries old, the tradition of burning
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: the ballots after they've been counted. It's only in the
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: last few years, or rather in the last century or so,
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: that white or black, according to historians, became the actual
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: distinguishing feature. Simply that before they were burned, they used
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: to be burnt with wet straw to produce that black smoke,
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: indicating that no pope had been elected. But after some confusion,
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: there was one point in nineteen fifty eight during a
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: conclave where it seemed like white smoke initially appeared, then
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: it turned black, obviously leading to considerable confusion among the
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: people waiting out here in St. Peter's Square. They began
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: adding chemicals afterwards to make it clearer. So now the
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: modern practice reveals the recipe was revealed in twenty thirteen
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: by the Vatican the exact chemicals they put in, but
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: essentially they've got a separate canister which produces white smoke,
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: a mix of chemicals to produce white smoke and a
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: mix of chemicals to produce blacks. The no no longer
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: relying on purely wet straw and the magic of chemistry
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: to produce that iconic smoke. But it is really, you know,
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: a remarkable practice and something that obviously smoke and incense
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: and has such a great significance to the Catholic Church.
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: This symbolism binding the earthly realm to the heavenly realm
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: is something that has a deep symbolism. So it's a
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: remarkable thing that's continued right through to the present day.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Well, that is fascinating the stsh we'll come back to
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: you this second. We ye see it. We hope we
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: see it in the rest of the remaining of the
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: show and they get the latest from you and what
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: it means. Thank you so much for your time. Right now,
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: what they are deciding is whether it's going to be
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: a pope essentially from what we hear, that will be
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: as liberal or left wing progressive some people claim they mean,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: but as left wing as Francis was, or whether they
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: need to be a unity ticket person. They're going to
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: bring the Conservatives and the left together. That is what
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: I think. One of the big debates is after the break,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: Green's leader Adam Band goes out with a vile attack
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: on Peter Dutton, who gives him the farewell that toxic
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: man deserves, and a panel on this band character after this,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Green's leader Adam Band finally admitted today he had been
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: beaten by Labor in his seat of Melbourne's out of
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: politics after fifteen years. But he went out with a
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: snarl of hate, a disgraceful smear and so unfair on
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: the former opposition.
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: People in Melbourne hate Peter Dutton, and with very good reason.
• 28:06
  Speaker 6: They've seen his brand of toxic racism on display for
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: many years. Some votes leaped away from US to Labor
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: as people saw Labor as the best option to stop Dutton.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Nowhere did Band today admit that his party lost votes
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: and hear his seat because of what some would say
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: his part is racism, and in particular the nasty, am
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: vicious way that the Greens under Band appeal to Jew
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: hater us everywhere by wanting Israel dismantled.
• 28:35
  Speaker 6: Ad and I've been really proud to continue to push
• 28:39
  Speaker 6: for adjust and lasting peace for the people of Palestine
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: and Israel, which is going to be based on an
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: end to the invasion and an end to the occupation.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: But neither Peter Dutton nor even Anthony Albanezi would let
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: him get away with all this nonsense is self serving moralizing.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Dunton posted this no spin by Aden Ban con change
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: the reality that he and other Greens members lost their
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: seats because of their appalling treatment of the Jewish community.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: Australians were rightly disgusted of their behavior. We were proud
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: to preference to the Green's last helping to ensure an
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Aband's loss, and the Prime Minister also took a whack
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: at the Greens vile tactics recently, like band's deputy leader
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: Marie in Ferruki with a Palestinian scarf joining protesters, actually
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: stopping people for months from getting into Albanese's electorate office
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: to ask for some help.
• 29:38
  Speaker 10: The senator that you refer to came to demonstrations outside
• 29:43
  Speaker 10: my office. Australians no that the Australian government is not
• 29:50
  Speaker 10: responsible for what has occurred in the Middle East, and
• 29:56
  Speaker 10: I think some of the opportunism was there That demonstration
• 30:02
  Speaker 10: outside my elected office turned off my local community. I
• 30:06
  Speaker 10: find it incredible that someone who's an elected office holder
• 30:10
  Speaker 10: in the Senate thought it was appropriate to attend.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: By the way. I think you find it a theme
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: in the next three years that Albin Easy will try
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: to be more fatherly, as it were, a bit of
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: a Mensian figure in this country. I think it's going
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: to be pose a real problem for the Liberals trying
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: to make him look like the Nasty Party. I think
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: he'll be trying to broaden out. You wait, join him
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: is the Panwell Evelyn Ray Farmer, former policewoman, Sky News
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: regular and Jameson Ferson from the late debate here on
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: sky News. James Aaband leaving on that nasty note your reaction.
• 30:47
  Speaker 11: Well Andrew, who would have imagined the demise of the
• 30:49
  Speaker 11: leader of the Greens would be a sign that the
• 30:52
  Speaker 11: earth is healing? But there were so many paradoxes or
• 30:56
  Speaker 11: ironies in what Adam Bant said today. I mean, he's
• 30:59
  Speaker 11: been the most divisive figure in Australian politics over the
• 31:02
  Speaker 11: past decade, and yet he leaves politics as a great
• 31:05
  Speaker 11: unifier because he's managed to bring both the Liberal Party
• 31:08
  Speaker 11: and the Labor Party together to rejoice in his exit.
• 31:11
  Speaker 11: The other great irony, of course, was he blamed Preferences
• 31:14
  Speaker 11: for losing his seat forgetting of course, it was Preferences
• 31:17
  Speaker 11: that got him his seat back in twenty ten. As
• 31:21
  Speaker 11: for his comments about Peter Dutton, I mean, are we
• 31:24
  Speaker 11: really that surprised? The only surprise is that he didn't
• 31:26
  Speaker 11: blame the Jews for his loss or suggest that somehow,
• 31:29
  Speaker 11: maybe Mossad had infiltrated the Australian Electoral Commission and that
• 31:33
  Speaker 11: was the reason that he lost. He said he was
• 31:35
  Speaker 11: proud of what he'd done for the Greens. Will he
• 31:37
  Speaker 11: reduced them from four seats to just one in the
• 31:40
  Speaker 11: Lower House. I'm not sure how he would be proud
• 31:42
  Speaker 11: of that, And he turned a once pro environmental party
• 31:46
  Speaker 11: into a Marxist hotbed of hatred for this nation. He
• 31:49
  Speaker 11: will not be missed at all. We'll hang on a second, Andrew.
• 31:53
  Speaker 11: If Maureen Ferruki is appointed the new leader of the Greens,
• 31:56
  Speaker 11: maybe Adam Bant will be missed.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: But under than that, stop going down. That's give me nightmares. Evelyn.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Have you got a tear for poor Adam Bant?
• 32:10
  Speaker 7: Only tears of joy, Andrew, tears.
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: Of pure joy.
• 32:14
  Speaker 7: Bottle it up and let's keep it on the shelf
• 32:16
  Speaker 7: and remind ourselves of this happy, joyous moment for Australia.
• 32:20
  Speaker 7: We're being cleansed of the Marxist greenie. But look, it
• 32:24
  Speaker 7: was such a pathetic attempt for him to save face,
• 32:27
  Speaker 7: wasn't it.
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: In that interview.
• 32:28
  Speaker 7: I mean, he on one hand said that, you know,
• 32:30
  Speaker 7: the reason that he lost to a Labor candidate was
• 32:34
  Speaker 7: Peter Dutton's fault because you know, the people hate Peter
• 32:37
  Speaker 7: Dutton more than they like the Greens. I mean, that's
• 32:40
  Speaker 7: some kind of mental gymnastics try and get around that.
• 32:44
  Speaker 7: But you know, I think that it really does say
• 32:48
  Speaker 7: something when you know the leader of the Greens parties
• 32:51
  Speaker 7: is trying to scramble. I mean, he can pull something
• 32:53
  Speaker 7: out of a hat and come up with anything. So
• 32:56
  Speaker 7: I think he was a bit surprised by the result,
• 32:59
  Speaker 7: but it was a one. It was probably the only
• 33:01
  Speaker 7: silver lining out of this election, sadly. But look, I
• 33:04
  Speaker 7: think that you know, for him to blame Dutton is
• 33:07
  Speaker 7: just typical of the Greens. They like to blame everything
• 33:10
  Speaker 7: on everybody else and have absolutely zero personal responsibility. But
• 33:16
  Speaker 7: you know, I hope that Dutton can take what he
• 33:19
  Speaker 7: says on board and perhaps go you know what, I'm
• 33:21
  Speaker 7: glad that I'm distanced myself from him and he can
• 33:24
  Speaker 7: blame me, and hopefully the Liberal Party can learn from
• 33:27
  Speaker 7: all this and maybe next election not perhaps do labor
• 33:31
  Speaker 7: light and maybe we will have a bit more of
• 33:33
  Speaker 7: a chance and quite squash the Greens out to zero
• 33:36
  Speaker 7: seats and put a bit more liberal seats in.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: James. Look, I know I shouldn't be surprised in one sense,
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: and yet you know, I was struggle over again this
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: final appeal by Ben to the journalist.
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: There, we're in a climate crisis. We're in a climate crisis.
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: I really want the media to stop reporting on climate
• 34:00
  Speaker 6: as a political issue and start thinking about us as
• 34:05
  Speaker 6: if our country was being invaded. You should treat the
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: climate crisis as if there is a war on.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: James. I I thought, my god, he really does believe
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: this apocalyptic nonsense. And the women in behave mmmmm one grinning,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: though I couldn't quite I didn't quite understand why she
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: thought it was all the good news. I don't know
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: what did you make of that?
• 34:33
  Speaker 11: I'm trying to work out how we're being invaded by
• 34:35
  Speaker 11: a naturally occurring gas? What CO two is invading the country.
• 34:40
  Speaker 11: Andrew Bant really does believe this, And of course he
• 34:44
  Speaker 11: also believes that only he and people like him can
• 34:47
  Speaker 11: save the planet, which explains why they have special license
• 34:51
  Speaker 11: the rest of us do not have. Remember Adam Bant
• 34:53
  Speaker 11: spent was at fifteen thousand dollars on a private jet
• 34:56
  Speaker 11: flying from the ACT to Brisbane.
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: How do you.
• 34:59
  Speaker 11: Explain that when he's claiming climate crisis. Well, it makes
• 35:02
  Speaker 11: sense if you understand he believes one there is a
• 35:05
  Speaker 11: climate crisis. Two he's the one who can save us
• 35:09
  Speaker 11: from it, and therefore he's entitled to do things the
• 35:12
  Speaker 11: rest of us are not. That's pretty much his worldview.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: Evelyn just sent a namper jimp for Price quitting the
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: Nationals party today. That gave her a chance, that demanded
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: an extra seat in the shadow cabinet for her from
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: the Liberals, all that kind of stuff. Is it a well,
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: it is a betrayal of the Nationals. Does that outweigh
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: the fact that it might be great news for the Liberals?
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: How do you see that balance?
• 35:41
  Speaker 7: Well, here's the thing. Peter Dutton didn't win the referendum
• 35:45
  Speaker 7: to the voice of Parliament. Did she was the coalition's
• 35:49
  Speaker 7: greatest weapon during that entire debate, and for some reason,
• 35:54
  Speaker 7: we hardly saw her during Dutton's campaign, and when we did,
• 35:59
  Speaker 7: it was almost like we were embarrassed about it, like, oh,
• 36:02
  Speaker 7: you know, some people nearly had a stroke because dare
• 36:04
  Speaker 7: she say let's make Australia great again. You know, I
• 36:08
  Speaker 7: think at the moment the Liberal Party is virtually on
• 36:11
  Speaker 7: life support. They are, and they need all the help
• 36:14
  Speaker 7: they can get. Perhaps Jacinta is the defibrillator. Perhaps she's
• 36:18
  Speaker 7: going to come in and jolt them, you know, into
• 36:20
  Speaker 7: a place of life where they actually belong. You know,
• 36:23
  Speaker 7: I sadly think that the Liberal Party are going the
• 36:26
  Speaker 7: way that the UK Conservative Party are going. And if
• 36:30
  Speaker 7: life's going to get tougher under Labor, which I dare
• 36:32
  Speaker 7: say it, well, people are going to be so desperate
• 36:36
  Speaker 7: for an alternative, and you know, maybe Australia will be
• 36:39
  Speaker 7: right for what a kin is to the reform UK Party.
• 36:44
  Speaker 7: And at the moment that particular party in the UK
• 36:47
  Speaker 7: is absolutely smashing the Conservative Party. So if Jacinta can't
• 36:51
  Speaker 7: bring the Liberal Party to life, I dare say that's.
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: Where we're headed.
• 36:56
  Speaker 7: So I hope she can. I hope you can come
• 36:57
  Speaker 7: in and do some good because at the moment she's
• 37:01
  Speaker 7: probably all they've got.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm sure she didn't do this without some sort
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: of offer of something good from one of the main
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: leadership contenders in the Liberals, either Angus Taylor or Susan Lee.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: I suspect Angus Taylor would have made an approach. I
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: don't know about Susan Lee. I'm told that Susan Lee
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: wasn't too happy thinking that this was going to be
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: stacking the deck against her a Conservative coming in, although
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: boy if she could surely use just Enterprice on her team.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: Where do you see all this happening, James, I mean
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: it has caused bad blood with the Nationals. Yeah.
• 37:40
  Speaker 11: Well, David little Proud, the leader of the Nationals himself,
• 37:42
  Speaker 11: said that the Liberal Party provides opportunities for just Center
• 37:47
  Speaker 11: Price's ambition that the Nationals do not. I think that's true,
• 37:52
  Speaker 11: but a little unfair and missing the bigger picture. The
• 37:55
  Speaker 11: Liberal Party provides opportunities for Australia with just Enter Price
• 37:59
  Speaker 11: there that the Nationals do not, and so I think
• 38:03
  Speaker 11: that everybody all around agrees. It's disappointing for the National Party,
• 38:07
  Speaker 11: but it's better for just Enter Price. But more importantly,
• 38:10
  Speaker 11: it's better for the country if she's in the Liberal
• 38:12
  Speaker 11: Party because she can fulfill her true not ambition, but potential,
• 38:16
  Speaker 11: and I think we'd all be beneficiaries of that.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: Except there was the Liberal Party that seemed to gagger
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: this year. I mean, I found it incredible that said,
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: it must be still noted that the first time that
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: she was allowed to speak with basically with Peter Dutton,
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: she did put a foot in it a little by
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: saying making Australia great again, which shouldn't be an issue,
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: but it was treated as an issue and it did
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: hurt the Liberals midway through the campaign. You know, you
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: too trump like, but she's only a first term senator
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: Trump that's why they lost. Well, well, I didn't know
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: about that, but it's more that they didn't see their
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: own man. They've seen some were taking dictation from Trump
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: Price certainly as our own woman. Thank you so much
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: to you both for that. Evelyn Ray and James McPherson
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: really appreciate it. After the break of Vladimir Putin, oh
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: this is so good. He has been utterly humiliated by Ukraine.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: Ahead of the big paradiate plan tomorrow, Airports are now paralyzed,
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: guests canceling and putin now looking at the sky is
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: wondering if the next buzzing sounds he hears is his last.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: Now I should update you in a couple of all
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: these wars that are going on, including news from Moscow,
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: you may find very satisfying. First though, this fighting between
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: Pakistan and India that broke out yesterday something very fishy today.
• 39:45
  Speaker 11: Now.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: Yesterday, as I told you, India fire missiles at nine
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: targets inside Pakistan that it's said were camps and facilities
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: and a mosque used by Islam's terrorists who slaughtered twenty
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: six Indian tourists in Kashmir two weeks ago. Pakistan did
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: gnied India's claims that were sheltering those terrorists and hit back.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: But look at one funeral in Pakistan for some of
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: the people killed. The coffins were carried by Pakistani soldiers.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: At Pakistani officers actually joined an alleged leader of the
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: Lashka e Toibe terrorist group Huffi is Abdul Ralph in
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: the morning there. That is seriously worrying. If that identification
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: is true, it does suggest that Pakistani is indeed shielding
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: Islamist terrorists, but too much more encouraging news. Tomorrow, Russian
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: President Vladimir Putin hopes to stage another one of his
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: massive annual Victory Day parades slash propaganda events in Moscow
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: to mark the defeat of Nazi Germany. His prize guest
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: has already arrived, Chinese President Jijingping, but at least two
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: other world leaders have already canceled now and no wonder
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: Ukraine is trying to ruin Putin's big propagand and an
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: event and doing a brilliant job at it. Ukraine is
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: now a world leader in designing and making attack drones,
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: which is exactly what the Albanezi government should be doing.
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: By the way, and the other day even flew one
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: of them to attack a Russian target two thousand and
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: six hundred kilometers away. Oh we've got smoke, hey, black
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: smoke over the Vatican. They don't have a decision on
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: the next pope, so we that saga will drag on anyway.
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: For the drones for the past three days, we'll go
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: to stash in the second. But for the last three
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: days Ukraine has sent hundreds of drones to attack military
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: targets in and around Moscow, including an airfield used by
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: Russian Air Force jets practicing for tomorrow celebrations. And these attacks,
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: of course chaos around Moscow, and not just there. Nearly
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: two hundred flights canceled, three hundred and fifty delayed, affecting
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: sixty thousand passages. And the Internet has been cut off
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: at central Moscow to stop Ukraine using it for attacks.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: You can even withdraw money. Oh, it's just unbelievable. So
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: I tell you, helenmi Punt's going to be sitting there
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: tomorrow looking at the skies thinking, oh, is the next
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: buzzing sound the last thing I ever hear. Ukraine is
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: making a full of this man. It's making a fool
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: of him. But let's quickly crosspect stashan Rome. That smoked Stasha,
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: what can you tell us?
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: You can see it just as well on your screen,
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: that black smoke pouring from the chimney of the Sistine
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: Chapel just a couple of minutes ago. Now, raw went
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: up from the crowd here in Saint Peter's Square who
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: gathered to watch that. We weren't sure exactly when it
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: was going to come. Twelve o'clock was the time that
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: we were roughly expecting it a little earlier than we thought.
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: But yeah, that's the sign that those one hundred and
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: thirty three cardinal electors inside have failed to reach an
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: agreement in their first two votes of today or expecting
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: another two in the afternoon. So we're going to have
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: to wait and see. The last two posts worth pointing
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: out again were elected on the second day of the
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: people conclave, So if that pattern holds again, then there's
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: a possibility we could have a pope by this afternoon
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: here in.
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: Rome, Stash Butler, thank you so much, indeed, but let's
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: go to Britain. Look this war in India and Pakistan,
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: between India Pakistan, it's reminding us again that everywhere in
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: the West we are finding one price of mess immigration.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: We import foreign troubles. Britain, Australia, a lot of countries
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: have only seen pro Palestinian protests, for instance, marching, blocking traffic, threatening, vandalizing,
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: and now with this massacre in Kashmir two weeks ago
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: and the war now in Britain, Indians there have marched
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: on the Pakistani embassy. We're one official there, mind cutting
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: a throat and Pakistani protests is a block traffic a
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: match on the Indian embassy. Joining me from London is
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: Patrick Christie's star presenter of News. Patrick. First Muslim protests
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: in the street complaining about Palestine, now Indian and Pakistani
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: ones complaining about another war. These seems small protests though
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: at the moment in comparison, is that still a warriot all?
• 44:15
  Speaker 5: It's a massive worry. Look, the fact is that London
• 44:17
  Speaker 5: has felt like a foreign country for a very long time.
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: Now we've had.
• 44:20
  Speaker 5: Error treins fighting each other, Somali's Sudanese, the issue with Palestine,
• 44:24
  Speaker 5: and now we've got India versus Pakistan. When you invite
• 44:28
  Speaker 5: the world in, you also invite all of the world's problems.
• 44:31
  Speaker 5: Now I'm sitting here today at the Battle of Britain Bunkers.
• 44:35
  Speaker 5: You'll be able to see, I think a spitfire behind
• 44:38
  Speaker 5: me here. I've just sat in Winston chair. I've just
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: sat in Winston Churchill's chair, where it helped direct our
• 44:45
  Speaker 5: defense against that Nazi war machine. And there are question marks,
• 44:49
  Speaker 5: I think when you look around the failures of multiculturism
• 44:52
  Speaker 5: and diversity in our great country today, whether you wonder
• 44:56
  Speaker 5: whether or not we have let our greatest generation a
• 45:00
  Speaker 5: little bit, Andrew, I do think that's the sense in
• 45:02
  Speaker 5: Britain today. But there is a concern because as well,
• 45:05
  Speaker 5: there's a lot of British Indians and a lot of
• 45:06
  Speaker 5: British Pakistanis who have become very politically active and are
• 45:09
  Speaker 5: on many local councils in England. So if it kicks
• 45:12
  Speaker 5: off an India and Pakistan, you might actually see seriously
• 45:17
  Speaker 5: a huge problem with local democracy here in Britain, which
• 45:19
  Speaker 5: is a remarkable thing when you think about.
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: It, absolutely correct, Patrick, Can you lean just a little
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: to the lift so I can see that beautiful plane
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: behind you, because swear to goodness, the Spitfire is the
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: most beautiful plane I think ever designed. What do you think?
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: It's absolutely a hurricane for did.
• 45:42
  Speaker 5: Is absolutely stunning out. They're not going to let me
• 45:44
  Speaker 5: sit in it, unfortunately, but there we go. Because it
• 45:47
  Speaker 5: is V Day, I should point out it's the ACiE
• 45:49
  Speaker 5: anniversary of V Day here in Britain today, so we're
• 45:53
  Speaker 5: on a war footing, so it's a very positive day
• 45:55
  Speaker 5: here in Britain. But I've come to the Battle of
• 45:58
  Speaker 5: Britain Bunker to to do a couple of interviews with
• 46:02
  Speaker 5: people like Boris Johnson. So that's why you've caught me today.
• 46:04
  Speaker 5: But yeah, the spitfire behind.
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: Me has a load of him for me.
• 46:08
  Speaker 5: He's the reminder of a great time in British history anyway.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: Now, Patrick, it is a very positive day in Britain
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: because it now seems from all the broad hints being
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: dropped first by Trump, now by your Prime Minister. In
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: an hour or two or three, I'm not sure exactly
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: when Trump is going to announce that he has made
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: the first trade deal since he dropped the hammer. You know,
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: tariffs on everyone, including ten percent tariffs on Britain and
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: on nuts, and twenty five percent tariffs on your aluminum,
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: on your steel, on your cars. But a breakthrough a deal,
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: tell us what you know?
• 46:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well, look, it's all a little bit up in
• 46:49
  Speaker 5: the three pm UK time we get the big announcement.
• 46:51
  Speaker 5: We do think that it is a reduction in tariff
• 46:53
  Speaker 5: on things like British car manufacturing, et cetera. So that
• 46:56
  Speaker 5: could be quite good, and maybe things like whiskey as well.
• 46:59
  Speaker 5: But the fact is the only reason we can do
• 47:02
  Speaker 5: deals like this now is because of Brexit. This is
• 47:05
  Speaker 5: a Brexit dividend. Britain voted to state back control. If
• 47:08
  Speaker 5: we were still in the European Union, we wouldn't be
• 47:10
  Speaker 5: able to do any of this stuff. The funny thing
• 47:13
  Speaker 5: about this, Andrew, is that we have a prime minister
• 47:16
  Speaker 5: who voted against the Brexit deal forty eight times, who
• 47:19
  Speaker 5: wanted to drag us back into the European Union, we
• 47:22
  Speaker 5: wanted to have a second referendum, who is now championing
• 47:25
  Speaker 5: the fact that we've got a Brexit deal with the
• 47:28
  Speaker 5: United States of America. So there we go, a positive
• 47:31
  Speaker 5: day of Britain. We don't know all the detail yet,
• 47:33
  Speaker 5: but hey, it's something right.
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: Well, it depends what you had to give away to
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: get and what you'll get back. But it's interesting you
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: got this deal. We haven't haded one talk yit about it.
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: That's fascinating. One of the odds that you will be
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: asking exactly this sort of question to Boris Johnson, who
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: of course was the Prime minister who pushed and got
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: through the Brexit deal.
• 47:59
  Speaker 5: I have already asked.
• 48:00
  Speaker 4: The interview has been done.
• 48:01
  Speaker 5: He actually flew back from Washington in order to come
• 48:04
  Speaker 5: and speak to us at gb News today. He basically
• 48:07
  Speaker 5: is laughing at the fact that this is a Brexit dividend,
• 48:11
  Speaker 5: and he says this is exactly basically taking credit for it.
• 48:14
  Speaker 5: He's saying, if it wasn't for him, then Keirstarmer wouldn't
• 48:16
  Speaker 5: have been able to do this deal.
• 48:17
  Speaker 4: So there we go.
• 48:19
  Speaker 5: But yeah, he is very very positive about the fact
• 48:22
  Speaker 5: that we could. Actually we were told if we voted
• 48:24
  Speaker 5: for Brexit that we would be at the back of
• 48:26
  Speaker 5: the queue. That's what Barack Obama told us. We know
• 48:29
  Speaker 5: what Donald Trump. President Trump actually likes Britain. He has
• 48:32
  Speaker 5: business interests here and he's willing to overlook whatever political
• 48:35
  Speaker 5: differences he may have with our labor government and has
• 48:38
  Speaker 5: put Britain at the front of the queue. And that
• 48:40
  Speaker 5: is quite a nice thing, actually, I think here.
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: Thank you for reminding us very much about that Barack
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: Obama interference in your politics. How deliciously ironic. Petrick Christies,
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: thank you so much for your time.
• 48:57
  Speaker 4: That's it for me.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: Coming up now is Share in Action. Good night.
