- 0:00Speaker 1: Late Welcome to the Late Debase.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the program. I'm Kayler Bond
- 0:09Speaker 2: with Frei Leitch and Joe Hildebrand. Here's what's coming up tonight.
- 0:12Speaker 1: People are waking up to the fact that the world.
- 0:14Speaker 3: Isn't about to end.
- 0:16Speaker 2: A new poll shows a huge increase in people thinking
- 0:19Speaker 2: climate change is overblown and a huge decrease in people
- 0:22Speaker 2: thinking petrol cars should be banned.
- 0:25Speaker 3: In the papers.
- 0:26Speaker 2: New South Wales Premier Chris Mins announced yesterday that a
- 0:29Speaker 2: trial of beaches with our shark nets would be scrapped. Well,
- 0:32Speaker 2: today we found out that shark sightings are up, not.
- 0:36Speaker 3: Just by a little bit. We'll give you those.
- 0:38Speaker 2: Numbers and later apparently the star signs are all out
- 0:42Speaker 2: of whack. There are a few thousand years out of
- 0:43Speaker 2: days or something. And so when you've been reading your
- 0:46Speaker 2: horoscope all these years, you've been.
- 0:49Speaker 1: Reading the wrong one.
- 0:51Speaker 3: But did anyone notice the difference? I certainly didn't.
- 0:54Speaker 2: But first we must talk about the big story of
- 0:58Speaker 2: the evening, which is of course the to Center price.
- 1:01Speaker 2: To sin A Nampajuba price has been dropped from the
- 1:04Speaker 2: Shadow Ministry. Now. This follows comments she made last week
- 1:08Speaker 2: on the ABC about migration, particularly Indian migration, and then
- 1:13Speaker 2: you saw over the weekend the Coalition basically sucking up
- 1:17Speaker 2: to migrant communities and trying to apologize profusely for the
- 1:21Speaker 2: comments that Senator Price had made. Now, look, my view
- 1:24Speaker 2: is that nothing Senator Price seed was particularly wrong. It
- 1:28Speaker 2: was perhaps badly worded, but we know the machinations that
- 1:32Speaker 2: have gone on within the Liberal Party since then, and
- 1:35Speaker 2: she has ultimately had to fall on her sword. She
- 1:39Speaker 2: put out a statement today said this evening, I spoke
- 1:41Speaker 2: with the leader of the Federal Liberal Party and Federal Opposition,
- 1:44Speaker 2: Susan Lee, who has asked me to step down from
- 1:47Speaker 2: the Shadow Ministry. I've accepted the Leader's decision and reiterated
- 1:54Speaker 2: sorry my regret in not being clearer in my comments
- 1:57Speaker 2: on the ABC last Wednesday. Nevertheless, I took the opportunity
- 2:00Speaker 2: to express to the leader my disappointment that some colleagues
- 2:03Speaker 2: disregarded the key point I was making about the damaging
- 2:06Speaker 2: impacts of mass migration and the some colleagues instead chose
- 2:10Speaker 2: to indulge a gender driven media commentary on this matter.
- 2:14Speaker 3: He was the Opposition Leader, Susan Lee.
- 2:16Speaker 4: This evening, Senator just sent a Namba Jimpurprice has failed
- 2:22Speaker 4: a test of high standard that I have set for
- 2:26Speaker 4: members of my shadow ministry. Confidence in the leader is
- 2:32Speaker 4: a requirement for serving in the Shadow Ministry. A few
- 2:38Speaker 4: a couple of hours ago, I spoke to the Senator
- 2:43Speaker 4: and I advised her of my decision.
- 2:48Speaker 2: Now, my view on this as a number of prongs,
- 2:50Speaker 2: because I think two things can be true at once.
- 2:53Speaker 2: One is that she essentially had no choice but to
- 2:57Speaker 2: leave the ministry after she refused to to publicly affirm
- 3:02Speaker 2: her support for the leader. Susanally, I mean, that's just
- 3:05Speaker 2: generally accepted as one of the conditions of being a
- 3:09Speaker 2: member of the Shadow Ministry, or any ministry for that matter.
- 3:13Speaker 3: Of course, you.
- 3:14Speaker 2: Saw during the Voice campaign, for instance, that Julian Lisa
- 3:17Speaker 2: left the Shadow Ministry because he didn't agree with the
- 3:21Speaker 2: party's position on the Voice, and that was the right
- 3:24Speaker 2: and honorable thing to do. If you can't publicly affirm
- 3:27Speaker 2: your support for your leader, then you just can't be
- 3:30Speaker 2: part of her ministry. But I think this also opens
- 3:33Speaker 2: up opens up a great opportunity for you seeing to
- 3:36Speaker 2: Nampa Jimper Price now because she can be unleashed.
- 3:39Speaker 1: She's on the back bench.
- 3:41Speaker 2: She can say what she wants, whatever she feels about
- 3:44Speaker 2: the matters of the day. She can't be rained in
- 3:47Speaker 2: by the party for doing so. I think the Party
- 3:51Speaker 2: was wrong to leap on this as hard and fast
- 3:55Speaker 2: as they did. They fell for the three card trick
- 3:58Speaker 2: from the left, which is to say, ah, racist, racist, racist,
- 4:01Speaker 2: and then you go, oh my god, I can't be
- 4:03Speaker 2: called racist. I've got to do something about it. So
- 4:06Speaker 2: they fell into what they wanted. They created this great
- 4:09Speaker 2: circus which is benefit benefited the Labor Party and done
- 4:12Speaker 2: damage to the Liberal Party. But I think in the
- 4:15Speaker 2: long run, Joe, this will actually be a great moment
- 4:18Speaker 2: for just into Nampa.
- 4:19Speaker 5: Jimper Price, Yeah, I completely agree. I think certainly, as
- 4:24Speaker 5: you said, had absolutely no choice, and it really had
- 4:26Speaker 5: nothing to do with the comments you made about the
- 4:28Speaker 5: Indian Australians. It had to do with the fact that
- 4:30Speaker 5: she couldn't say I I mean that did ultimately lead
- 4:32Speaker 5: I mean the Labor Even when you are actively rolling
- 4:35Speaker 5: the leader, you still say you support the leader. So
- 4:39Speaker 5: and in that sense, I suspect just seemed to probably
- 4:42Speaker 5: wanted to be wanted to be caught, if you like,
- 4:45Speaker 5: she wanted to she wanted to sort of to push
- 4:49Speaker 5: certainly to push her out. She will obviously go to
- 4:52Speaker 5: the back bench. She was wasted in the shadow cabinet anyway.
- 4:55Speaker 5: She was Defense Industry the stupidest possible portfolio. Or you
- 5:00Speaker 5: could give someone like this iner price obviously if there
- 5:03Speaker 5: was any thought put into it whatsoever, and I don't
- 5:06Speaker 5: know if there was, but it was obviously to shut
- 5:09Speaker 5: her up and to give her portfolio where she couldn't
- 5:12Speaker 5: really say anything particularly controversial. I mean, what are you
- 5:15Speaker 5: going to say? I mean, she should be talking about,
- 5:17Speaker 5: you know, whether we've got you know enough submarine software
- 5:20Speaker 5: instead of you know, whether they're at Indian moments. So
- 5:23Speaker 5: either she was put there to shut her up or
- 5:26Speaker 5: they just wanted to give her something really really junior
- 5:28Speaker 5: and keep her away so effectively the same diff So
- 5:31Speaker 5: she's now free. There's no point having someone like just
- 5:35Speaker 5: in a price if you are just going to sort
- 5:37Speaker 5: of box her in as well. And I think this
- 5:39Speaker 5: is what the Libs need to do with her now
- 5:42Speaker 5: that she's actually sitting in their party room, because she
- 5:44Speaker 5: was sitting with the Nats. Is what the Nats did
- 5:47Speaker 5: with Barnaby Joyce back in the day. Where you just say, oh, yeah, Barnaby,
- 5:51Speaker 5: you know, yeah, look, he's obviously you know, he's a
- 5:54Speaker 5: voice for his people and a very proud champion for
- 5:57Speaker 5: his community, and we don't always see idle eye on
- 5:59Speaker 5: what he says, but you know, you know, good luck
- 6:01Speaker 5: trying to silence him, because he'll keep speaking up. And
- 6:03Speaker 5: so you have your cake and eat it too. So
- 6:05Speaker 5: you can have your official, more considered nuanced whatever mild
- 6:10Speaker 5: bland beij non offensive party position or leader's position, but
- 6:14Speaker 5: then you can also have that kind of firebrand out
- 6:17Speaker 5: there who is speaking to your conservative base and making
- 6:20Speaker 5: them feel like they've got a voice inside the party room.
- 6:23Speaker 5: And that's very much what country people felt with Barnaby
- 6:26Speaker 5: Joyce that you know that even when he was being
- 6:29Speaker 5: sidelined by his colleagues, always being told you know, Barnaby's
- 6:33Speaker 5: just sort of out there, but he was still in there,
- 6:34Speaker 5: and people thought, yeah, he speaks for me. He speaks
- 6:37Speaker 5: the way I speak, or speaks the things I think,
- 6:40Speaker 5: and I know he's in there. And so the NATS
- 6:42Speaker 5: were able to still keep getting votes for Barnaby that
- 6:45Speaker 5: otherwise might be votes for One Nations or Shouldar and
- 6:48Speaker 5: Fishes or whatever. So that's the way you deal with
- 6:50Speaker 5: an asset like just Center Price, not by saying, hey,
- 6:54Speaker 5: you've got this massive following because you're outspoken, so we're
- 6:57Speaker 5: going to stick you on all these issues. So we're
- 6:59Speaker 5: going to stick you in a portfolio which has nothing
- 7:01Speaker 5: to do with any of those issues, and tell you
- 7:03Speaker 5: that you're not allowed to speak your mind.
- 7:05Speaker 6: Yeah, and I think in some ways this isn't really
- 7:07Speaker 6: a surprise. It's ended like this because Jacinta came over
- 7:11Speaker 6: from the Nationals to initially run as Angus Taylor's deputy
- 7:15Speaker 6: in a leadership contest against Susan so the piece was
- 7:18Speaker 6: always tenuous. I think what I would say as well
- 7:22Speaker 6: is and it's clear just Sinta said this in her statement.
- 7:25Speaker 6: The way this had then been seized upon by factional
- 7:29Speaker 6: adversaries in the Federal Party I also think was deeply
- 7:33Speaker 6: unhelpful seeing people like Alex Hawk come out and make
- 7:36Speaker 6: a big hohoh. He is the factional numbers man for
- 7:39Speaker 6: Susan Lee. He was the factional numbers man for Scott
- 7:42Speaker 6: Morrison as well. He's deeply unpopular in the Liberal Party.
- 7:46Speaker 6: Jacinta is incredibly popular, so I think there's also another
- 7:50Speaker 6: element here of this is not going to play well
- 7:52Speaker 6: with the Bass at all, and Susan already has a
- 7:55Speaker 6: big task ahead of her in trying to consolidate the party.
- 8:00Speaker 6: But also your members You cannot forget who are the
- 8:03Speaker 6: people that are going to donate to your campaign. Who
- 8:06Speaker 6: are the people that are going to stand for hours
- 8:08Speaker 6: in the freezing cold or the blistering heat handing out
- 8:11Speaker 6: how to vote. It's going to be your base, your
- 8:14Speaker 6: party membership, and the Liberal Party is in a really
- 8:17Speaker 6: difficult position here, and with the migration issue more broadly.
- 8:20Speaker 6: I'd caused Samarus on my show on the weekend, and
- 8:23Speaker 6: this is what he laid out. There's a very narrow
- 8:27Speaker 6: and difficult path for the Liberal Party because if they
- 8:29Speaker 6: don't address immigration, they're going to lose votes to the
- 8:32Speaker 6: right to one nation. But if they do address immigration
- 8:36Speaker 6: and they do it in the wrong way, which is
- 8:39Speaker 6: very easy to do, they will become unelectable in whole
- 8:43Speaker 6: swathes of metropolitan seats. So how do you actually move forward?
- 8:47Speaker 7: And the risk is you just combust.
- 8:51Speaker 5: That's right, That's Le's best defense at the mind, because
- 8:53Speaker 5: the only reason why Angus Taylor and jac Deerprice are
- 8:56Speaker 5: not currently mounting a leadership charge, and you can set
- 8:58Speaker 5: your watch to how long that will be. Is because
- 9:00Speaker 5: the party is in such a parlor state that you
- 9:02Speaker 5: would almost think, well, we won't go now, We'll let
- 9:05Speaker 5: Susan Lee lose the next election and then keep out
- 9:07Speaker 5: prowd to dry, or go just before the next election
- 9:11Speaker 5: and try to get a bit of momentum to save
- 9:13Speaker 5: the furniture.
- 9:14Speaker 2: I can I just ask you quickly, because directively involved
- 9:17Speaker 2: with the party, whether or not this has done genuine
- 9:21Speaker 2: damage to the Liberal Party amongst migrant populations, do you think.
- 9:28Speaker 6: I just I don't think you can speak about it
- 9:30Speaker 6: in terms. I think this is the mistake they make.
- 9:32Speaker 6: A couple migrant groups who are peak bodies for business
- 9:35Speaker 6: associations come out and make a big hooha. They don't
- 9:38Speaker 6: represent the majority of migrants. Migrants are as diverse as
- 9:42Speaker 6: any other group in the population.
- 9:44Speaker 7: There are a range of views. A lot of migrants themselves.
- 9:47Speaker 6: Oppose mass immigration when it comes at the cost of
- 9:50Speaker 6: a strong economy of good infrastructure. So I think the
- 9:53Speaker 6: key for the Liberal Party is focusing on the quality
- 9:56Speaker 6: of migrants and saying it's about the flow and it's
- 10:00Speaker 6: about the type and we want to make sure people
- 10:02Speaker 6: have our values and come here for the right reasons.
- 10:05Speaker 6: But let's focus on boosting the quality. But that is
- 10:07Speaker 6: a delicate conversation to have. But I don't think you
- 10:10Speaker 6: can say all migrants are going to hate the Liberal
- 10:13Speaker 6: Party now, because that's just not true.
- 10:15Speaker 5: But there was a big swing against One of the
- 10:17Speaker 5: reasons they did so badly was that migrant populations communities, yeah,
- 10:20Speaker 5: turning in.
- 10:21Speaker 6: But if the Liberal Party doesn't talk about immigration because
- 10:24Speaker 6: they're scared of losing migrant votes, they're going to lose
- 10:27Speaker 6: a whole lot more votes in their base and that will.
- 10:30Speaker 7: Be the end.
- 10:31Speaker 6: So this is a really hard situation, but welcome to politics.
- 10:34Speaker 6: It's always hard, right. But let's move on now to
- 10:37Speaker 6: more migrant talk. But over in the UK, where things
- 10:41Speaker 6: are really dire, it now looks like the UK government
- 10:46Speaker 6: could be paying compensation to migrants who were housed in
- 10:51Speaker 6: a migrant holding centers over in Dover, the Manston Migrant
- 10:56Speaker 6: Holding Center, for two main reasons. One there were held
- 11:00Speaker 6: for over twenty four hours and two they claim they
- 11:03Speaker 6: were held in poor conditions. So these are illegal migrants
- 11:08Speaker 6: who crossed the Channel illegally were put in a temporary
- 11:12Speaker 6: holding area, and they are now the ones suing the
- 11:18Speaker 6: UK government for the inhumane conditions.
- 11:22Speaker 7: They've been put in.
- 11:24Speaker 6: Wasn't it your choice to come across the channel to
- 11:27Speaker 6: enter the UK. I don't think you have much of
- 11:29Speaker 6: a right to now complain, let alone sue the government will.
- 11:33Speaker 6: Two hundred migrants have joined this action, but it could
- 11:36Speaker 6: potentially cost the government millions because eighteen thousand have been
- 11:41Speaker 6: through this detention center, so if they have a case,
- 11:44Speaker 6: you could.
- 11:45Speaker 7: Have thousands more piling on now.
- 11:47Speaker 6: Last year they already had to pay out round eleven
- 11:51Speaker 6: million pounds in compensation to migrants for inhumane conditions.
- 11:58Speaker 7: And it's ridiculous.
- 11:59Speaker 6: And on top of that, they're spending one hundred million
- 12:02Speaker 6: pounds every month keeping these migrant hotels going.
- 12:06Speaker 7: It is no wonder.
- 12:08Speaker 6: Nigel Farage looks like he's on track to become the
- 12:10Speaker 6: next Prime Minister.
- 12:11Speaker 1: Of the UK primey River.
- 12:14Speaker 2: It would be the equivalent of looking up what's known
- 12:17Speaker 2: to be the worst hotel in whatever city you're going to,
- 12:22Speaker 2: booking a room in that hotel, and then being outraged
- 12:25Speaker 2: about how bad the hotel is until you must give
- 12:29Speaker 2: me my money back. You knew what you were getting
- 12:31Speaker 2: yourself in for, you made the decision to go there.
- 12:35Speaker 1: What did you think was going to happen?
- 12:38Speaker 2: I mean, they're making all sort of fantastic allegations, like
- 12:41Speaker 2: you know, they've been sexually assaulted and physically abused and
- 12:44Speaker 2: had things stolen by guards and whatever, which the government
- 12:47Speaker 2: says didn't happen, which is why this now has to
- 12:51Speaker 2: go through the courts because the amager said that, well,
- 12:53Speaker 2: we're not giving you the compensation for that because it's
- 12:55Speaker 2: just not true. So they now have to go off
- 12:58Speaker 2: these migrants or legal migrants to go to court to
- 13:01Speaker 2: try and get this compensation because they allege this is
- 13:04Speaker 2: what happened. Why are they owed anything at all? If
- 13:07Speaker 2: you illegally get on a boat and sail across from
- 13:10Speaker 2: France after giving large sums of money to a people smuggler,
- 13:13Speaker 2: and then you don't like the fact that they don't
- 13:15Speaker 2: offer you a cup of English breakfast tea and a
- 13:17Speaker 2: piece of toast with marmalade on it when you arrive,
- 13:20Speaker 2: I'm sorry, it's.
- 13:21Speaker 1: Not their problem.
- 13:23Speaker 2: And the thing that they cite to get away with
- 13:26Speaker 2: all of this is the European Convention on human rights.
- 13:30Speaker 1: Pull out of it. And this is what Nigel Farage
- 13:33Speaker 1: has talked about. They need to.
- 13:35Speaker 2: Get out of it. What business is it of the
- 13:39Speaker 2: European mainland to be telling the UK that you must
- 13:44Speaker 2: be treating very nicely these people who would legally come
- 13:47Speaker 2: to your country.
- 13:48Speaker 5: Well, firstly, if you get over and ask for a
- 13:49Speaker 5: cup of tea and someone gives you Earl Gray, that
- 13:51Speaker 5: is a hate crime and it could be Actually.
- 13:53Speaker 1: I disagree, E Gray is a fantastic Oh.
- 13:55Speaker 5: My god, now you're getting to the real this is.
- 13:57Speaker 5: We're not ready for this.
- 13:58Speaker 1: Now I love.
- 13:59Speaker 5: Sky to dark? Is it ready for statements like that?
- 14:01Speaker 5: If I love Ala with a.
- 14:03Speaker 1: Bit of honey?
- 14:04Speaker 5: Outrageous. But it's not the assalum Sekerts who are doing this.
- 14:08Speaker 5: It's not this arm seakers who are driving out. It
- 14:10Speaker 5: would be the activists and the lawyers who supposedly defending
- 14:14Speaker 5: their rights are actually acting against their interests. Who would
- 14:17Speaker 5: be setting up these cases taking it to the higher
- 14:20Speaker 5: I mean who, No one's getting out of a boat
- 14:22Speaker 5: and English Channel and then pulling a silk from the
- 14:24Speaker 5: old bailey and saying I want a class out. This
- 14:27Speaker 5: is the class action that's been organized by activists on
- 14:30Speaker 5: their behalf. They will be inviting people to join it.
- 14:33Speaker 5: They were saying, hey, you're a bit miffed that you
- 14:35Speaker 5: got locked out by you, come over here, we got
- 14:37Speaker 5: a class. Are what actually happened? That that obviously got
- 14:40Speaker 5: all the dressing about the terrible things that happened. But
- 14:42Speaker 5: this will be a test case for whether or not
- 14:44Speaker 5: you can detain people for more than twenty four hours.
- 14:46Speaker 5: And they're going to make it so financially unpalatable for
- 14:50Speaker 5: the government to do. So we'll try to get a
- 14:52Speaker 5: common law ruling that it's illegal in the English court,
- 14:54Speaker 5: because that's all common law. So if they get a
- 14:57Speaker 5: ruling in an English court, then that becomes the law.
- 15:00Speaker 5: And this is where and again, as I suppose we've
- 15:04Speaker 5: already said on the pane, but if there is one
- 15:06Speaker 5: way that you want to harden public sentiment against asylum
- 15:12Speaker 5: seekers and make it look like they are getting all
- 15:14Speaker 5: these sorts of perks and all these sort of privileges
- 15:17Speaker 5: and payouts that ordinary working you know workers in the UK,
- 15:22Speaker 5: and you know Northerners who are slugging it out in
- 15:24Speaker 5: the coal mines, and then these guys come in, they
- 15:26Speaker 5: put rid of that's right, but that's right. No, But
- 15:29Speaker 5: these are the sort of people who voted for break brexit, right,
- 15:32Speaker 5: So these are labor voting formal labor voting conservatives who
- 15:37Speaker 5: are you know, who are now turning against the EU
- 15:40Speaker 5: and don't like migration. And that is exactly how you
- 15:43Speaker 5: piss all those people off. And so these four asylum
- 15:46Speaker 5: seekers I think are being led by the nose, by
- 15:48Speaker 5: the activists who are pretending to be their friends and
- 15:52Speaker 5: pretending to be on their side, but in fact all
- 15:53Speaker 5: they're doing is turning the country.
- 15:56Speaker 1: I think that's.
- 15:57Speaker 2: Why I give them a lot of credit, Joe. They
- 15:59Speaker 2: know exactly what they're when they when they when they
- 16:02Speaker 2: get to France and pay a people smuggle lots of
- 16:05Speaker 2: money to put them on a boat across the channel.
- 16:07Speaker 5: Yeah, they're just trying to get in there.
- 16:08Speaker 2: They're not saying I remember they get there and then
- 16:11Speaker 2: when they get there and some whitey comes over and says, hey,
- 16:14Speaker 2: you know you could get one hundred grand out of there?
- 16:16Speaker 2: Say yes, Well, I know, of course you're going to
- 16:18Speaker 2: say yes, But it doesn't do your cause any good yourself.
- 16:21Speaker 1: Does it.
- 16:21Speaker 5: That's the people, as the activists who think that you
- 16:24Speaker 5: know they're doing so favored just so they can look
- 16:26Speaker 5: all too clever. And all they're going to do is
- 16:28Speaker 5: get Nigel Frige elected.
- 16:29Speaker 2: Well, well it can't come soon enough. And here's another
- 16:32Speaker 2: example of why, because I'm pretty sure he'd give this
- 16:35Speaker 2: bloke the boot. A judge in the UK, while we're
- 16:38Speaker 2: sticking with the UK, Sir Robert J. Was hearing a
- 16:43Speaker 2: case just the other day about Harun As what now
- 16:48Speaker 2: he was, by his own admission, involved in nine to eleven.
- 16:53Speaker 2: He was involved in the London bombings in two thousand
- 16:56Speaker 2: and five, which killed fifty two people and in seven
- 17:00Speaker 2: hundred and seventy other people. He had been in the
- 17:04Speaker 2: US under arrest in jail and then he was extradited
- 17:09Speaker 2: to the United Kingdom.
- 17:10Speaker 3: When he got to.
- 17:11Speaker 2: The UK a few years ago, they detained him under
- 17:14Speaker 2: mental health grounds. But he is about to be released
- 17:18Speaker 2: and so he's had the High Court hearing prior to
- 17:21Speaker 2: his release, and the judge, Sir Robert J. Keep in mind,
- 17:25Speaker 2: this is a guy who was a mastermind involved in,
- 17:28Speaker 2: as I said before, nine to eleven and the London
- 17:31Speaker 2: bombings killed fifty two people in two thousand and five.
- 17:34Speaker 2: Has been told by this judge quote, it could not
- 17:38Speaker 2: have been too pleasant in American custody at the time.
- 17:41Speaker 2: I have to wish you all the best and say
- 17:43Speaker 2: to you that the way forward is to keep on
- 17:45Speaker 2: your medication, listen to the advice you're going to get,
- 17:48Speaker 2: and keep out of the sort of things you were doing.
- 17:52Speaker 5: That's a good chap.
- 17:53Speaker 2: He goes on to say, because you saw where it
- 17:56Speaker 2: ended up, and you.
- 17:57Speaker 1: Do not want to go back to that.
- 18:00Speaker 3: I am sure.
- 18:01Speaker 2: I mean, he may as well have said, Oh tell you,
- 18:03Speaker 2: how old tap bas to see you in my courtroom.
- 18:05Speaker 2: Oh who comes about all this, you know, blowing people
- 18:08Speaker 2: up business?
- 18:09Speaker 5: Oh that's all you know.
- 18:10Speaker 1: It's been awful. But I'm to be a good fellow now,
- 18:13Speaker 1: alert you. I mean, how is this real? How is
- 18:17Speaker 1: this real?
- 18:18Speaker 2: How could a judge sit there in his courtroom faced
- 18:21Speaker 2: by a bloke who helped blow up fifty two people
- 18:25Speaker 2: in his capital city and say, I wish you all
- 18:29Speaker 2: the best, stay on your meds.
- 18:31Speaker 3: I'm sure you'll be right.
- 18:32Speaker 6: Well, I hate to break it to you, Caleb, but
- 18:33Speaker 6: it gets even worse than that. In the court decision,
- 18:37Speaker 6: the police and a psychiatrist that both independently evaluated him
- 18:42Speaker 6: said he was still a risk to the community and
- 18:45Speaker 6: still possesses extremest Islamic ideology. Now, this is a guy
- 18:50Speaker 6: that got arrested in the United States. He was involved
- 18:52Speaker 6: in nine to eleven the London bombings. He also but
- 18:55Speaker 6: the reason he got in prison for twenty years was
- 18:57Speaker 6: because he tried to set.
- 18:58Speaker 7: Up a terrorist training camp in Oregon. In the US.
- 19:03Speaker 5: He must have been was off his medstone. Then it's
- 19:07Speaker 5: a health issue, order issue.
- 19:09Speaker 7: This is insane.
- 19:10Speaker 6: So someone who the court has been warned he's still
- 19:13Speaker 6: a risk to the community, he hasn't denounced these beliefs,
- 19:18Speaker 6: he still holds them. Yet now he is being released
- 19:21Speaker 6: back into the community. This guy should be getting jailed
- 19:24Speaker 6: for life. I don't understand how he's walking free full stop.
- 19:29Speaker 7: This just boggles the mind.
- 19:31Speaker 6: And then to have a judge going but I wish
- 19:33Speaker 6: you well and just just stay off that terrorist stuff,
- 19:36Speaker 6: you know, that'd be good.
- 19:38Speaker 5: In Australia, I believe as a result of recent legislation,
- 19:41Speaker 5: he could still be jailed indefinitely as long as he
- 19:43Speaker 5: was considered still to pose a terrorist. So just weird
- 19:47Speaker 5: that in the UK you can be locked up and
- 19:50Speaker 5: put in jail for stuff you post on social media,
- 19:54Speaker 5: but get released into the community if you're still deemed
- 19:57Speaker 5: by police and a psychologist to be an extremist terror risk.
- 20:02Speaker 5: But at least in Australia, we don't have that. But
- 20:05Speaker 5: this is the other weird thing the judge said, and
- 20:06Speaker 5: Caleb just mentions it. Towards the end, he goes, because
- 20:09Speaker 5: you saw where it ended up and you do not
- 20:11Speaker 5: want to go back to that. I am sure. Now
- 20:15Speaker 5: is the judge talking about the three thousand people who
- 20:18Speaker 5: died in September eleventh and July seven, or is he
- 20:22Speaker 5: talking about the guy doesn't want to go back to jars,
- 20:25Speaker 5: because it sounds a lot like he's just saying, Oh,
- 20:26Speaker 5: but you know, you wouldn't want to go back to
- 20:28Speaker 5: that jails, So there's no there's no like but you
- 20:31Speaker 5: realize that, you know, you killed thousands of people, it's like, oh,
- 20:34Speaker 5: but you know, so all the judges really saying is
- 20:37Speaker 5: you know, just make sure you don't get caught.
- 20:39Speaker 6: Yeah, jail's unpleasant, but you know what's also unpleasant getting
- 20:43Speaker 6: blown up, and that's what this guy did to other people.
- 20:46Speaker 6: So let's have compassion for the victims of terrorism, not
- 20:50Speaker 6: the terrorists.
- 20:51Speaker 7: Themselves.
- 20:52Speaker 6: But something in Britain that does give us a little
- 20:55Speaker 6: hope is that it seems as though people are waking
- 20:58Speaker 6: up to the fact that a lot of the hysteria
- 21:02Speaker 6: around climate change, the endless doomsday predictions that the world
- 21:06Speaker 6: is going to end, that we're going to face mass starvation,
- 21:09Speaker 6: the millions of people are going to die, well they
- 21:12Speaker 6: haven't really come true. And people are starting to realize
- 21:16Speaker 6: that there's been a fifty percent rise in British people
- 21:21Speaker 6: who doubt global warming risks. One in four voters now
- 21:25Speaker 6: believe that concerns over climate change are not as real
- 21:29Speaker 6: as scientists had said. Less than a third of public
- 21:33Speaker 6: of the public are in favor of banning petrol cars,
- 21:37Speaker 6: which is down from fifty one percent back in twenty
- 21:41Speaker 6: twenty one, and only sixteen percent of voters said they
- 21:45Speaker 6: would be in favor of paying more for gas as
- 21:48Speaker 6: a way to incentivize people to move to electricity.
- 21:52Speaker 7: So it does seem that we've.
- 21:54Speaker 6: Reached peak woke, peak climate anxiety. People are starting to
- 21:59Speaker 6: realize that a why are we impoverishing ourselves When India, China,
- 22:06Speaker 6: Russia they don't care. They're still building coal, they're still
- 22:10Speaker 6: getting rich. Off our coal actually here in Australia, yet
- 22:13Speaker 6: we're impoverishing ourselves. Two, the only people getting rich from
- 22:16Speaker 6: this are the foreign wind farm companies and renewable energy execs,
- 22:22Speaker 6: not the average people. And three, none of the nihilistic
- 22:27Speaker 6: predictions have panned out.
- 22:29Speaker 7: We're still alive, guys.
- 22:31Speaker 1: That's the thing.
- 22:31Speaker 2: I mean, at some point reality bites right, and I
- 22:34Speaker 2: think people are as sick of being told.
- 22:36Speaker 3: Not to believe they're lying eyes.
- 22:38Speaker 2: You know, they went through the emergence of global warming
- 22:41Speaker 2: as a concept in the seventies. Then in the eighties
- 22:44Speaker 2: long came the concept of global cooling, and then we
- 22:46Speaker 2: sort of.
- 22:47Speaker 3: Forgot about that.
- 22:47Speaker 2: Global warming came back onto the scene, and then Al
- 22:50Speaker 2: Gore came along in the early two thousands and put
- 22:53Speaker 2: out his films and told us it was all going
- 22:55Speaker 2: to end, and know that you got to ten years
- 22:57Speaker 2: to save the planet and all this sort of business.
- 23:00Speaker 2: Flannery came along and I think it was two thousand
- 23:02Speaker 2: and seven and said that you know that the dams
- 23:04Speaker 2: will never fill and it will never rain again. Well,
- 23:07Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know where anyone else has been
- 23:10Speaker 2: in the last couple of years, but it has rained
- 23:13Speaker 2: a you know what ton across this country or certain
- 23:16Speaker 2: parts of it.
- 23:17Speaker 1: Anyway.
- 23:17Speaker 2: I do know that some parts of the country, particularly
- 23:19Speaker 2: the western districts and parts of South Australia, have been
- 23:22Speaker 2: in drought. But like other parts of this country have
- 23:25Speaker 2: had lots and.
- 23:25Speaker 1: Lots of rain, wore again. But dams billing over, et cetera.
- 23:28Speaker 5: We don't have to worry about it right now.
- 23:30Speaker 1: That's exactly we don't have to worry about that problem.
- 23:33Speaker 1: Mister Flannery got that one wrong.
- 23:35Speaker 2: Then you had Greta Tunberg and her crew came along and.
- 23:39Speaker 5: How dare you? How dare you?
- 23:42Speaker 2: And with every year they would again say we've got
- 23:45Speaker 2: ten years to save the world, and ten years to
- 23:47Speaker 2: save the world, and ten years to save the world.
- 23:49Speaker 2: And I think it was Greta said something like five
- 23:51Speaker 2: years to save the world. Then that five years came
- 23:53Speaker 2: up last year and the world is still here. And
- 23:55Speaker 2: then we had on Ton that was.
- 23:57Speaker 5: Just how long it took her to get a he
- 23:58Speaker 5: man care go I.
- 24:00Speaker 2: Then we had Antonio Guterres at the UN saying global
- 24:05Speaker 2: and we are still here.
- 24:07Speaker 1: I mean, people are going to just see its garbling.
- 24:09Speaker 5: But this I was actually talking about this very thing
- 24:12Speaker 5: this very day to the lovely Claire Lehman, who I'm
- 24:16Speaker 5: sure you know the founding edit of Collette on my
- 24:18Speaker 5: podcast The Real Story with Joehildebrand and get it now
- 24:20Speaker 5: wherever you get podcasts, and I'll raise that exact same thing.
- 24:23Speaker 5: I do believe in climate change. I don't think it's
- 24:25Speaker 5: all a crop. But when you have people, especially you know,
- 24:30Speaker 5: self important elite to are often talking down to other
- 24:34Speaker 5: people and trying to scare them. When you have them
- 24:36Speaker 5: making these catastrophic statements and they don't come to it,
- 24:41Speaker 5: people say, well, you lied to me about that. We
- 24:42Speaker 5: are lying to me about everything else as well. And
- 24:44Speaker 5: we made the exact same mistake with COVID as well,
- 24:47Speaker 5: where you had on one side people saying, you know,
- 24:49Speaker 5: if you dare, you know, take your mask off for
- 24:51Speaker 5: one second, everyone's going to die, and you know COVID
- 24:54Speaker 5: guilds is going to kill all. Other people were saying
- 24:56Speaker 5: that is just not my experience, that is not what
- 24:57Speaker 5: I'm seeing. And the same thing with the vaccination. You know,
- 25:00Speaker 5: if you take it back to actually be one hundredercent
- 25:01Speaker 5: safe and there's no way over the transmissions, and then
- 25:03Speaker 5: people thought, oh, but I did still get COVID or
- 25:06Speaker 5: I did still you know, a transmitt or whatever. So
- 25:08Speaker 5: vaccines as a whole must be hopeless. And so you
- 25:11Speaker 5: end up just throwing the baby out with the bathball
- 25:12Speaker 5: and saying, look at all bullshit. I don't care and
- 25:14Speaker 5: I don't believe in any of it, but that's what
- 25:16Speaker 5: these people who are most energized about it are created.
- 25:20Speaker 6: And then there's also a question there around well, even
- 25:23Speaker 6: if you think climate change is real and that it's
- 25:27Speaker 6: man made as well and work contributing to it, at
- 25:30Speaker 6: what cost are you going to solve it? Is it
- 25:33Speaker 6: worth the industrializing, Is it worth impoverishing the working class?
- 25:38Speaker 6: Is it worth soaring energy bills? Is it worth letting
- 25:41Speaker 6: our adversaries get rich off our coal while our own
- 25:44Speaker 6: Aussies can't heat their homes. I don't think it is, like,
- 25:48Speaker 6: I really don't, and I think people are waking up
- 25:51Speaker 6: to that.
- 25:51Speaker 2: And I mean, this is the point that Bjorn Lomborg,
- 25:53Speaker 2: who we were talking about the other night, has been
- 25:56Speaker 2: making for a long time and tried to bring to
- 25:59Speaker 2: Australia setting up an outpost of his Consensus center hear
- 26:03Speaker 2: about a decade ago, and he got drummed out of
- 26:05Speaker 2: the joint because the climate scientists and activists just couldn't
- 26:10Speaker 2: deal with the fact that someone was saying, yes, I
- 26:12Speaker 2: believe in climate change.
- 26:14Speaker 1: Yes I believe.
- 26:15Speaker 2: We should decarbonize, but we should do it in a
- 26:18Speaker 2: way that does not adversely affect the economy and the
- 26:23Speaker 2: people who are already living on this planet. If you
- 26:26Speaker 2: can't compromise on this stuff, it should be no surprise
- 26:29Speaker 2: that people start to turn their back on you. Let's
- 26:32Speaker 2: have a complete change of pace and go to one
- 26:34Speaker 2: of my favorite, one of my favorite little topics on
- 26:37Speaker 2: this program, of course, Council Stories.
- 26:40Speaker 1: And today we find ourselves on the.
- 26:42Speaker 2: South coast of New South Wales in Eurobadulla Council, where
- 26:47Speaker 2: they have decided that the most important issue facing them
- 26:50Speaker 2: is to restrict the number of pets you can keep
- 26:53Speaker 2: on your property.
- 26:54Speaker 1: Oh look at that little kiddy there.
- 26:56Speaker 2: Now, I've got two cats at home and under these
- 26:59Speaker 2: rules that would be okay.
- 27:01Speaker 1: Apparently, but I don't know.
- 27:03Speaker 2: They're going to send people around to knock on your door.
- 27:05Speaker 2: This is a proposal they're putting out to community consultation
- 27:09Speaker 2: and Urubidalla Council sort of goes from Bateman's Bay and
- 27:12Speaker 2: whether you're familiar with the south coast of New South Wales.
- 27:14Speaker 2: So it starts up in near Basement Bay and goes
- 27:16Speaker 2: down through Maruya and further down from there.
- 27:20Speaker 1: But part of their policy is that you will.
- 27:24Speaker 2: If you have a property in an urban area in
- 27:28Speaker 2: part of the council, only be able to keep two
- 27:32Speaker 2: adult dogs, four cats, one rabbit and bizarrely, two ferrets.
- 27:39Speaker 1: I don't know how many people are keeping ferrets in
- 27:42Speaker 1: the Urubadalla Council.
- 27:45Speaker 2: But I'll tell you what, if you've got three ferrets,
- 27:47Speaker 2: you might be in a bit of trouble.
- 27:49Speaker 1: And then they'll have other rules if you've got a
- 27:51Speaker 1: rural property about your horses, and you'll be able to
- 27:55Speaker 1: have four dogs.
- 27:56Speaker 3: If you have to have a rural property.
- 27:58Speaker 1: So aren't you lucky?
- 28:00Speaker 2: Lots of people and properties would have way more than
- 28:03Speaker 2: than four dogs. What business is it of the council
- 28:06Speaker 2: to come along so you can only have four two ferrets?
- 28:09Speaker 5: You only have two ferrets.
- 28:11Speaker 6: But this also makes no sense because cats do so
- 28:15Speaker 6: much more environmental damage than dogs or rabbits or even ferrets.
- 28:20Speaker 6: Because a lot of people and they shouldn't, but they
- 28:22Speaker 6: let their cats roam free, they kill native wildlife, they
- 28:26Speaker 6: breed like crazy.
- 28:27Speaker 7: It's not good.
- 28:28Speaker 6: So the fact that you can have more cats than dogs,
- 28:32Speaker 6: that's discrimination and someone.
- 28:33Speaker 7: Needs to take that up with the Human Rights Commission.
- 28:36Speaker 5: I'm going to go into bat for them on their
- 28:38Speaker 5: horse rule because one of the other rules is you
- 28:41Speaker 5: can only have two horses on urban land. Now there's
- 28:44Speaker 5: not many, not many stratas that would let you have
- 28:47Speaker 5: that in your apartment in Sydney. I can tell you
- 28:49Speaker 5: that I'm wondering if I can tie one up, got
- 28:56Speaker 5: my little newtown semi and a couple of horses out
- 28:59Speaker 5: of the back. I must be kept quote no closer
- 29:02Speaker 5: than nine meters from a dwelling, school, shop, office, factory,
- 29:08Speaker 5: workshop or church. So you can't take your horse to church.
- 29:12Speaker 5: I actually think that's quite reasonable, But.
- 29:14Speaker 1: Isn't that Itssarily it's a more environmentally friendly web into.
- 29:17Speaker 5: Church nine meters away, and they should be encouraging the use.
- 29:24Speaker 2: And the good news though, is that if you are
- 29:28Speaker 2: into birds, it will be at the discretion of the inspectors.
- 29:32Speaker 5: So I don't know.
- 29:33Speaker 1: I suppose you can come along and see you're only needed.
- 29:34Speaker 5: To have alphabird at the discretion of.
- 29:37Speaker 2: The four cats, but there's only one rabbit. I mean,
- 29:41Speaker 2: what if your rabbit gets lonely and the council no.
- 29:45Speaker 5: More rabbits for you do know where the phrase breed
- 29:47Speaker 5: like rabbits comes from? Yeah, I know you can't have
- 29:50Speaker 5: two of them, but have.
- 29:51Speaker 1: Them to sixt or something. I get the cats to
- 29:54Speaker 1: sex every other.
- 29:54Speaker 6: I don't know why rabbits are so much more dangerous
- 29:57Speaker 6: for the Europidallahi Council than dogs or cats.
- 30:03Speaker 2: I'm sorry, if your rabbit gets out, it's allowed to
- 30:07Speaker 2: be shot.
- 30:08Speaker 1: That's my room.
- 30:09Speaker 2: But you know if you got to Meandoors exactly right.
- 30:14Speaker 7: Well, it is just bizarre council overreach.
- 30:16Speaker 6: But let's go back to the US, where we've been
- 30:18Speaker 6: covering the story tragically of the Ukrainian refugee that was
- 30:22Speaker 6: stabbed to death on a charlottesviilt train. Well, the commentary
- 30:27Speaker 6: from the left wing media around this has been truly bizarre.
- 30:32Speaker 7: Check this out. This is from the CNN.
- 30:37Speaker 8: It's not about cashless bill or no cashless bill. It's
- 30:39Speaker 8: about the fact that we don't know how to deal
- 30:42Speaker 8: with people who were hurting in the way this man
- 30:43Speaker 8: was hurting, hurt people, hurt people. What happened was horrible,
- 30:47Speaker 8: but it becomes an opportunity for people to jump on vandwagons.
- 30:49Speaker 8: And then for someone like Charlie Kirk, you should be
- 30:51Speaker 8: ashamed of himself. No one mentioned the word race, white, black,
- 30:55Speaker 8: or anything except him.
- 30:57Speaker 6: Hurts people, hurts people. This this guy is a murderer.
- 31:01Speaker 6: He has mental health issues for sure, but he's been
- 31:05Speaker 6: arrested fourteen times.
- 31:07Speaker 7: He's a career criminal.
- 31:09Speaker 6: His own mother said he shouldn't be on the streets
- 31:12Speaker 6: because he's a danger to society. He's not just a
- 31:14Speaker 6: hurt person that's hurting people. He's a murderer murdering people.
- 31:19Speaker 6: But thankfully Donald Trump understands that there are actually psychoevil
- 31:24Speaker 6: people in the world.
- 31:27Speaker 9: By a madman, a lunatic just got up and started
- 31:30Speaker 9: it straight on the tape. Not really watchable because it's
- 31:34Speaker 9: so horrible, but just viciously stamps she's just sitting there.
- 31:39Speaker 5: So they are evil people. We have to be able
- 31:42Speaker 5: to handle that.
- 31:43Speaker 9: If we don't handle that, we don't have a country.
- 31:46Speaker 6: But commune Dani over in New York's or our mum.
- 31:49Speaker 6: Danny the Democrat nominee for mayor of New York. He
- 31:52Speaker 6: was asked, why do we have.
- 31:54Speaker 7: Prisons at all? Oh, what do you think, Zoran? Enlighten us?
- 32:00Speaker 3: What perss do they serve? Right?
- 32:04Speaker 5: I think we have to ask ourselves that, which is that?
- 32:08Speaker 5: You know? I think a lot of people who defend
- 32:10Speaker 5: the corcial state, they defend the idea of it and
- 32:13Speaker 5: the way it makes them feel.
- 32:16Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 32:16Speaker 6: I do defend prisons because they make me feel safe
- 32:20Speaker 6: knowing there aren't murderers walking free, knowing there aren't people
- 32:24Speaker 6: like this on cashless bail, who made a promise to
- 32:28Speaker 6: rock up a court and be a good boy, who
- 32:30Speaker 6: could senselessly murder you on public transport.
- 32:33Speaker 7: I don't understand.
- 32:34Speaker 6: It's like they're not even talking about the fact that
- 32:37Speaker 6: an innocent girl just got murdered. They're living in some
- 32:40Speaker 6: complete delusion.
- 32:42Speaker 3: It is extraordinary.
- 32:43Speaker 2: And the reason they're living in this delusion is because
- 32:46Speaker 2: the perpetrators are black man. It's as simple as that.
- 32:49Speaker 2: They don't want to deal with it. That's why it
- 32:52Speaker 2: took weeks for this to get any coverage. It's why
- 32:55Speaker 2: they're dealing with it in the way they are now,
- 32:57Speaker 2: because they just can't admit that.
- 33:00Speaker 1: A black man murdered a white woman.
- 33:02Speaker 2: And what you're seeing here now is extended footage that
- 33:07Speaker 2: has been released today and we've chosen to sense a
- 33:11Speaker 2: part of it because it is so distressing, and it
- 33:16Speaker 2: goes on for minutes and minutes after what we're going
- 33:18Speaker 2: to show you here tonight, and.
- 33:21Speaker 3: It is truly awful.
- 33:23Speaker 2: Now what you see, I'll come back to that in
- 33:26Speaker 2: a sec There was another headline from seeing in so
- 33:28Speaker 2: how the lives of a Ukrainian refuge and a Charlotte
- 33:32Speaker 2: man with a criminal history converged in a fatal stabbing,
- 33:39Speaker 2: Like what what encounter? The kind of headline is that
- 33:48Speaker 2: the woman was stabbed murdered on a train.
- 33:52Speaker 3: Now go back to that footage.
- 33:54Speaker 2: If you watch the extended footage, and unfortunately I have,
- 34:00Speaker 2: I don't recommend you do it.
- 34:01Speaker 3: It is awful.
- 34:02Speaker 2: But she gets stabbed and she looks up sort of
- 34:06Speaker 2: in shock and horror at this guy who has stabbed her,
- 34:11Speaker 2: because she doesn't really know what has happened quite yet.
- 34:13Speaker 2: He's used a pocket knife to do it, and she
- 34:16Speaker 2: then starts to bleed out. He's dripping blood off of
- 34:20Speaker 2: his knife as he walks down the train, and within
- 34:25Speaker 2: thirty seconds she is slumped over on the floor. That's
- 34:29Speaker 2: how quickly she is bleeding out. And all this time
- 34:33Speaker 2: there are people, if we can get the footage back,
- 34:36Speaker 2: that you can see sitting around on the train, like
- 34:42Speaker 2: within seats of her, and not one of them does
- 34:49Speaker 2: anything to help her. As you can see people get
- 34:51Speaker 2: up and just walk off. It took a minute or
- 34:56Speaker 2: two for someone from me at the end of the
- 34:58Speaker 2: train to come down and offer any assistance to this
- 35:02Speaker 2: poor woman. And I just can't understand how your first
- 35:06Speaker 2: response if you see something like that is not to
- 35:09Speaker 2: jump up and do something.
- 35:10Speaker 5: I'm going to come in on the defense of the
- 35:14Speaker 5: other passengers. I was actually I was on a train,
- 35:17Speaker 5: so this happened.
- 35:17Speaker 1: On a light rail.
- 35:18Speaker 5: I was on a light rail when we had our
- 35:19Speaker 5: production meeting earlier today, and I actually looked up as
- 35:23Speaker 5: we were talking about this. Not a single person was
- 35:26Speaker 5: looking up or looking at anybody else. Everyone knows as
- 35:28Speaker 5: soon as you get in on any public transport, you
- 35:31Speaker 5: put your head down, you look at your phone, you
- 35:32Speaker 5: don't make eye contact with other people. If you do,
- 35:35Speaker 5: it's often seen as being a bit sort of weird
- 35:37Speaker 5: or creepy. Anyway, And so I think we saw a
- 35:40Speaker 5: lot of people there, not knowing what had actually happened,
- 35:44Speaker 5: possibly being aware that there was someone behaving radically and
- 35:46Speaker 5: they just wanted to get out of his way. But
- 35:49Speaker 5: otherwise I think that these would have been just people,
- 35:52Speaker 5: and it seems to have happened so quickly and silently.
- 35:55Speaker 5: These would have been people who just did not know
- 35:58Speaker 5: what was going on and just wanted to.
- 36:00Speaker 2: But I'm sorry, when someone is slumped over on the floor,
- 36:03Speaker 2: you go all the I might help them out, Like
- 36:07Speaker 2: I've been in this situation before on a bus in Adelaie.
- 36:09Speaker 3: I think I was going to the cricket.
- 36:11Speaker 2: And I'll bring up the race because this has become
- 36:14Speaker 2: a racial story and I'm pointing it out for a reason.
- 36:17Speaker 2: There were two Aboriginal people, male and female on the
- 36:19Speaker 2: bus and they'd been having an argument and the bloke
- 36:23Speaker 2: started whacking the woman and I was like sitting a
- 36:27Speaker 2: seat behind and they're sitting in the walkway and no
- 36:30Speaker 2: one was doing anything. And I stood up and said
- 36:33Speaker 2: to the fellow, what do you think you're doing? And
- 36:35Speaker 2: he started remonstrating with me. Thankfully someone else came and
- 36:39Speaker 2: backed me up.
- 36:40Speaker 1: But if I.
- 36:41Speaker 2: Had I'm not saying I'm a hero but if I
- 36:43Speaker 2: had stood up in that situation, if no one else
- 36:45Speaker 2: was prepared to do it, this woman.
- 36:47Speaker 1: Was going to be beaten black and blue on the bus.
- 36:50Speaker 1: It's just not right.
- 36:51Speaker 5: No, it's absolutely not right. But again I think that firstly,
- 36:54Speaker 5: that's something that's happening very publicly, and you can't not
- 36:57Speaker 5: know that it's happening it or not. On the way
- 36:59Speaker 5: here on the bus, I actually there was an elderly
- 37:02Speaker 5: passenger who had sort of been caught off his feet
- 37:05Speaker 5: as the busk came to a sudden stop and started
- 37:07Speaker 5: remonstrating with the driver and yelling at the driver. And
- 37:09Speaker 5: I actually thought to just hung back for a little
- 37:11Speaker 5: while to make sure, and then I realized it's quite
- 37:12Speaker 5: an old guy and he wasn't going to start and
- 37:14Speaker 5: think physical. But you know, these sorts of things flare
- 37:16Speaker 5: up all the time, and I don't think you can
- 37:19Speaker 5: blame people for either not noticing or not getting involved,
- 37:22Speaker 5: where in a lot of those situations, you just don't
- 37:25Speaker 5: know what is going on, and you just whatever you do,
- 37:28Speaker 5: your human instinct is to just get away from it
- 37:31Speaker 5: as quick as you can. It's not heroic, but it's
- 37:34Speaker 5: I think it's understandable.
- 37:35Speaker 2: And I'm sure there will be more to come unfortunately
- 37:39Speaker 2: on this truly tragic story. After the break, we'll get
- 37:43Speaker 2: into the newspapers of course, just enter Price, just into then.
- 37:45Speaker 2: Amergy of Price appears on a number of the front
- 37:47Speaker 2: pages tomorrow.
- 37:48Speaker 5: That plenty more coming up.
- 37:56Speaker 2: Let's get stuck in tomorrow's front pages. Will start with
- 37:59Speaker 2: the Australian, where of course it has the big story
- 38:02Speaker 2: of the day cut price threat to Lee, voice of
- 38:06Speaker 2: the back bench, and I think that probably is the
- 38:09Speaker 2: cut and thrust of it. She's on the back bench
- 38:11Speaker 2: now and she can say whatever the hell she likes,
- 38:15Speaker 2: Miss Lee, you may have just found a thorn in
- 38:17Speaker 2: your side. Another story on the front of the EUS tomorrow.
- 38:20Speaker 2: No immunity BB warns Hamas. Israel has warned Hamas it's
- 38:24Speaker 2: leaders will be targeted anywhere after an unprecedented strike against
- 38:28Speaker 2: the terror group in Qatar that has been strongly criticized
- 38:31Speaker 2: by Donald Trump, Australia, Europe and the Arab world. The
- 38:34Speaker 2: high risk Israeli attacking Doha, the capital city of a
- 38:37Speaker 2: key US Middle East ally, has left peace negotiations in
- 38:40Speaker 2: Gaza in disarray at a time when political leaders of
- 38:43Speaker 2: the terror group had gathered in the city to consider
- 38:47Speaker 2: a US led cease fire deal. You'd have to think
- 38:50Speaker 2: after this, Joe, that you know it's over, that's there's
- 38:54Speaker 2: no cease fire, it's not happening.
- 38:55Speaker 5: I don't think I decided once a ceasefire to be honest,
- 38:58Speaker 5: and well, that's not even a matter of they've openly
- 39:01Speaker 5: said so. Israel, which should have been the good faith
- 39:04Speaker 5: actor in this, has now basically given up even the
- 39:08Speaker 5: slightest fig leaf of pretension to wanting or tolerating a
- 39:12Speaker 5: two state solution. And hamas we know, has always been
- 39:15Speaker 5: a murderous, barbaric regime that wanted to wipe Israel off
- 39:19Speaker 5: the face of the map. So you've got two sides
- 39:21Speaker 5: who don't want peace and what they've got.
- 39:25Speaker 6: I think Israel wants peace, but I think they're realistic
- 39:30Speaker 6: about who they're dealing with right now. And I also
- 39:33Speaker 6: think the way this has been covered by the media,
- 39:35Speaker 6: everyone's so mad that Israel struck himas. Why was Katar
- 39:39Speaker 6: harboring Hamas? Why have they been allowing them to run
- 39:42Speaker 6: their operations out of Katar for years? They watched October
- 39:47Speaker 6: seven from Doha. Qatar was intimately involved in all of this,
- 39:51Speaker 6: and so I think if the US thinks Katar is
- 39:54Speaker 6: an ally, I know they have a base there, but
- 39:57Speaker 6: they are not a country you can trust. That's and
- 40:00Speaker 6: this is good because terrorists now know Israel will strike
- 40:03Speaker 6: you anywhere.
- 40:04Speaker 2: But this is the precarious nature of it, right in
- 40:07Speaker 2: that the US does have ties with Katar, but the
- 40:10Speaker 2: US also understands what Katar is doing on the side,
- 40:14Speaker 2: and Trump is trying to walk that fine line. And
- 40:18Speaker 2: it is the US who basically gives the money to
- 40:21Speaker 2: Israel to be able to do these things in many cases,
- 40:25Speaker 2: so Trump at some point is going to want to
- 40:27Speaker 2: call in his chips.
- 40:28Speaker 6: No, Israel's won plenty of wars without the US's help,
- 40:31Speaker 6: and they will win wars without the US's help, I think,
- 40:35Speaker 6: And to be honest, I reckon the Trump administration did
- 40:38Speaker 6: know what was going on. And I also think that
- 40:40Speaker 6: Qatar is actively trying to spread their influence in the
- 40:44Speaker 6: US through funding universities, think tanks, infiltrating many facets of
- 40:49Speaker 6: society around the West. They own more of London than
- 40:51Speaker 6: King Charles, and they are not a country we can trust.
- 40:54Speaker 6: So I think it's good to blow it up.
- 40:57Speaker 5: I think we know that Qatar is not our lie,
- 40:59Speaker 5: but I think the US obviously was hoping that it
- 41:01Speaker 5: could at least be a broker. And again, if you
- 41:04Speaker 5: wanted a cease fire, you would not blow up the
- 41:07Speaker 5: country that is trying to negotiate that cease fire, even
- 41:12Speaker 5: if you knew that there were terrorists in it. Anyway,
- 41:15Speaker 5: while we're talking about war, another headline on the front
- 41:18Speaker 5: of the Ulster tomorrow.
- 41:19Speaker 1: We're already at war with China.
- 41:22Speaker 3: Who knew I've never heard this before.
- 41:24Speaker 2: Anthony Alberinezi has revealed Australia will negotiate a security treaty
- 41:28Speaker 2: with Fiji, in a fresh move by his government to
- 41:30Speaker 2: counter Beijing, as the host of next year's Pacific Island
- 41:34Speaker 2: Forum warned, we are already at war with China. The
- 41:37Speaker 2: commitment to the new pact with the Pacific's most military
- 41:40Speaker 2: capable nation came just a day after Vaniwatu scrattled a
- 41:44Speaker 2: five hundred million dollar security agreement with Australia that would
- 41:47Speaker 2: have blocked China from delivering major projects in the country.
- 41:52Speaker 1: And I mean the assessment is not wrong.
- 41:55Speaker 2: We're not in a military war with China, but we're
- 41:58Speaker 2: certainly in a war of influence with China that you know,
- 42:02Speaker 2: on many fronts, you'd have to say they are winning
- 42:04Speaker 2: because they just have so much money.
- 42:06Speaker 6: And I think that's the mistake the West has made
- 42:09Speaker 6: really since the end of the Cold War. We thought
- 42:11Speaker 6: liberalism is won, the West is won. Yeah, we're all
- 42:14Speaker 6: going to live happily ever after. But they never stopped fighting,
- 42:18Speaker 6: really and we did, and now they're they've got the
- 42:21Speaker 6: upper hand, that's for sure.
- 42:22Speaker 5: Yeah. Look, I think we'll be all right. But I
- 42:24Speaker 5: think one thing we really do have to worry about
- 42:27Speaker 5: more than anything, a greater threat even than China itself.
- 42:31Speaker 5: I speak, of course, of sharks, and if you look
- 42:33Speaker 5: at the Newcastle Herald, they're everywhere sharks or try saying
- 42:39Speaker 5: this six times fast shark sightings sare it'll be fighting
- 42:44Speaker 5: if he's.
- 42:45Speaker 1: Hid, shark shk.
- 42:49Speaker 5: Char sharks chatting trying she gets seashells detections off the
- 42:56Speaker 5: Southwest Skyrocket. That is not a word you want to hear.
- 42:58Speaker 5: In relation to irocket. In the past two years, shark
- 43:02Speaker 5: sightings along the New South Wales coast have more than
- 43:05Speaker 5: doubled in a year. Data shows surf life saving New
- 43:08Speaker 5: South Wales data showed one hundred and one. Sorry, I
- 43:13Speaker 5: thought it was Fox FM one on one point nine.
- 43:16Speaker 5: I was going to say, how do you spot point
- 43:18Speaker 5: nine at a shark?
- 43:20Speaker 2: It's the one.
- 43:23Speaker 5: That's the one with the missing fin. Sorry, Yes, it's
- 43:26Speaker 5: one thousand and nineteen recorded sightings from drones in the
- 43:31Speaker 5: twenty four to twenty five season. The year before, there
- 43:33Speaker 5: were just four hundred and fifty three. Just days after
- 43:38Speaker 5: the fatal attack at the Long Reef Beach in Sydney,
- 43:40Speaker 5: New South Wales, Premier Chris Min's a hero to us
- 43:42Speaker 5: all and the handsomest man who ever walked the face
- 43:45Speaker 5: of the planet, has called off the plan trial to
- 43:48Speaker 5: remove nets from three beaches along the coastline this summer.
- 43:51Speaker 5: Nets will remain in place along other alongside other shark
- 43:55Speaker 5: mitigation measures. So firstly, thank you keep all the nets. Please,
- 44:00Speaker 5: thank you. Now it's not the time sharks are out
- 44:03Speaker 5: there killing people. Leave the nets. I would say, just
- 44:06Speaker 5: in I'm no marine biologists, but just keep them there.
- 44:09Speaker 5: And but the fact there are so many more everywhere,
- 44:13Speaker 5: Why they're coming for us all so not live online?
- 44:15Speaker 2: Why why don't we just go out and kill them
- 44:18Speaker 2: and put him in the fish and chip shops.
- 44:20Speaker 5: I just like it tastes my heart of heart put
- 44:24Speaker 5: an agreement.
- 44:24Speaker 2: More you go, you go to the fish and chip shop,
- 44:26Speaker 2: order some gamnge shack.
- 44:28Speaker 5: It is.
- 44:29Speaker 1: It's a tasting.
- 44:30Speaker 7: I've become the greening on this the late debate tonight. No,
- 44:33Speaker 7: I have no issues with sharks.
- 44:35Speaker 6: As long as they stay firmly out in the ocean
- 44:38Speaker 6: we have our nets protecting our beaches, then we can
- 44:41Speaker 6: all try to coexist.
- 44:43Speaker 5: Shark is a dead shark.
- 44:44Speaker 2: By the way, Joe, I got a message here from
- 44:47Speaker 2: Peter malinowskis the premiere of asking why he is not
- 44:51Speaker 2: the most.
- 44:52Speaker 5: He's the second most. He's the second most handsome. But
- 44:54Speaker 5: with means it's just the cheek. But yeah, it's just
- 44:57Speaker 5: it's just human nature.
- 44:58Speaker 7: Nolanascus has the the lottery.
- 45:00Speaker 5: He does have the town, those rugged good looks, that
- 45:04Speaker 5: the olive complexion. A good fella. Lady at twenty paces
- 45:08Speaker 5: that guy just with one out of the eyelids. But
- 45:11Speaker 5: you know, I got to say, I got to stick.
- 45:12Speaker 5: I'm playing a home game. You know. I love the
- 45:15Speaker 5: one you're with, Malie. I love the one you're with.
- 45:18Speaker 7: Okay, let's move on to the daily Telly now.
- 45:21Speaker 2: Mate for someone who sees your playing home game.
- 45:23Speaker 1: He said, you're batting for.
- 45:25Speaker 5: The other team. My wife is very understanding.
- 45:31Speaker 7: Sorry, that's that's okay. You guys keep going.
- 45:35Speaker 6: I'm in the Daily Telly Tomorrow guardian sacked.
- 45:38Speaker 7: This is an exclusive.
- 45:40Speaker 6: The New South Wales Children's Guardian has been sensationally sacked
- 45:44Speaker 6: for misbehavior amid allegations he interfered with the Working with
- 45:48Speaker 6: Children Czech decision and failed to declare a close personal relationship.
- 45:54Speaker 6: It follows a six month investigation into the conduct of
- 45:57Speaker 6: Senior Public Servant Steve Kinman. Look right now, when we're
- 46:01Speaker 6: seeing the glaring failings in the child care system with
- 46:05Speaker 6: working with Children checks, this is not a good time
- 46:08Speaker 6: to be sprung trying to do the dodgy and inappropriately
- 46:12Speaker 6: influencing a Working with Children check.
- 46:15Speaker 7: I just kind of even imagine in what world you
- 46:18Speaker 7: think that.
- 46:19Speaker 6: Is appropriate, let alone as the children's guardian.
- 46:24Speaker 5: It is staggering stuff. I'll read from the because this
- 46:27Speaker 5: blew me away when it came into my in box
- 46:29Speaker 5: this afternoon. I'll just read it out because of course
- 46:31Speaker 5: it's very sensitive. I don't want to get anything wrong.
- 46:33Speaker 5: The move follows a six month investigation into long standing
- 46:37Speaker 5: public servant Steve Kimman follows a series of articles by
- 46:41Speaker 5: The Telly into the troubled office and apparently she said.
- 46:48Speaker 5: Families and Community Services Minister Cape Washington said that he
- 46:54Speaker 5: had intervened in a Working with Children Check decision against
- 46:57Speaker 5: the advice of his Working with Children Check and his
- 47:01Speaker 5: legal team. It overturned his staff recommendation and granted this
- 47:06Speaker 5: person a clearance, but failed to declare a significant conflict
- 47:09Speaker 5: of interest, evidenced in part by the ninety outbound calls
- 47:14Speaker 5: and three hundred and fifty seven text messages between the
- 47:18Speaker 5: two over a twelve month period. So I found that staggering.
- 47:22Speaker 5: So it appears to be a person he knows, and
- 47:24Speaker 5: they've got a Working with Children Check against the advice
- 47:27Speaker 5: of his own department and agency and expert.
- 47:31Speaker 2: One hell of a story, that one. I'll tell you
- 47:33Speaker 2: what after the break. If you read the horoscopes every day,
- 47:36Speaker 2: it turns out you may be reading the whole the
- 47:39Speaker 2: wrong horoscope for the entirety of your life.
- 47:42Speaker 3: We can tell you more about that soon.
- 47:48Speaker 1: All right.
- 47:49Speaker 2: Now, it turns out the Guinness World Records having their
- 47:52Speaker 2: seventieth anniversary, and there are a whole bunch of records
- 47:54Speaker 2: that no one has ever actually attempted to do for.
- 47:58Speaker 6: It, and one of the ones we're going to attempt
- 48:01Speaker 6: for you tonight live on the Late Debate. We have
- 48:05Speaker 6: Joe hild around our highly official I'm.
- 48:08Speaker 5: The official world record officiator, and what we're.
- 48:12Speaker 6: Going to do is we are going to attempt to
- 48:14Speaker 6: achieve the most numbers, the most number of high fives
- 48:19Speaker 6: in thirty seconds.
- 48:20Speaker 5: That's right, And there's a very before you go, because
- 48:23Speaker 5: you have to know if your own safety. There is
- 48:25Speaker 5: a very important reason why no one has ever attempted
- 48:28Speaker 5: this feat before, because it's absolutely pointless. It is are
- 48:35Speaker 5: you ready?
- 48:35Speaker 7: Joe's timing, and we're going.
- 48:37Speaker 2: To do it again?
- 48:37Speaker 5: Three two one, right here we go.
- 48:41Speaker 2: Now, apparently amongst this other list, the most high fives
- 48:44Speaker 2: and thirty seconds, the fastest four hundred meters sack race,
- 48:48Speaker 2: the fastest time to assume the height of everest by bicycle.
- 48:52Speaker 5: What are we I don't know, because you're talking time
- 49:10Speaker 5: one hundred.
- 49:12Speaker 1: There you go, one hundred. If that, if that doesn't
- 49:16Speaker 1: make the list, then I don't know what will. I
- 49:18Speaker 1: think we need to get the official and.
- 49:21Speaker 3: Genuinely puffed out of it.
- 49:23Speaker 2: We need to get the official Giveness World Record people
- 49:27Speaker 2: to come in here and officiate over that, because I
- 49:29Speaker 2: want to name and.
- 49:30Speaker 5: We also need to watch that tape back on slow motion,
- 49:35Speaker 5: that is, before we go.
- 49:39Speaker 2: If that wasn't the best television you've ever seen, let
- 49:42Speaker 2: me let me give you this.
- 49:45Speaker 1: Zodiac sides are apparently all wrong.
- 49:47Speaker 2: And the New York Times reported on this the other
- 49:49Speaker 2: day that apparently, because of the way that the solar
- 49:53Speaker 2: system moves and all this sort of business, the zodiac
- 49:57Speaker 2: signs we have today in the dates describe to them
- 50:00Speaker 2: are actually about three thousand years out of date, and
- 50:04Speaker 2: they move along every so often. So the star signs
- 50:08Speaker 2: that we all think we have are not real. And
- 50:10Speaker 2: when you read the horoscope, you're actually reading someone.
- 50:13Speaker 7: Else's horoscopes aren't real.
- 50:15Speaker 5: I know what's your horoscope? Just quickly color, But Jim
- 50:19Speaker 5: and I, you will injure your hands in a stupid.
- 50:23Speaker 1: I think I've already doted you so much for joining
- 50:26Speaker 1: us tonight.
- 50:26Speaker 5: Up next, The rid of Batter Show
