  Speaker 1: Lately. General, welcome the late base.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Well, good evening, thanks for joining us.
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: I'm James Macpherson with Liz Storer and Caleb Bond coming
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: up tonight. Incredible footage from Victoria where three blokes set
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: fire to a nightclub, but not before setting fire to
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: each other.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Will show you that a little later.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: Plus, when we look at the papers in Townshill, they've
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: got a new.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Plan to tackle car theft.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: They're going to regard car theft as an addiction and
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: treat it as such.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: We'll see how that goes.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: And embarrassment for the Albanezy government as one of the
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: country's largest wind turbine manufacturers stops producing.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: We'll get to all of that in a moment.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: But this week the United Nations have been holding their
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: climate conference in Azerbaijan, and everything would be going.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: As you would expect.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: You've got chart climate chicken littles running around warning that
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: if we don't do exactly as the government.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Tells us to do, we're all doomed.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: You've got Pacific Island leaders running around saying Australians I
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: have to give them money otherwise their entire countries will
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: disappear under the ocean.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: And it'll be our fault.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: And then you've got Chris Bowen doing exactly as you'd
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: expect Chris Bowen to do, running around throwing our money
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: around like it's confetti. And you've got an Australian bureaucrat
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: giving an acknowledgment of country, except there's no Indigenous people
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: to acknowledge, and she's not even in our country.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: Whilst we're not on Australian lands, I'd still like to
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: start with acknowledging the traditional owners of Australia and the
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: Torres Strait Islands and pay my respects to their elders, past,
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: present and emerging.
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: So I'm going to sit down today. We've got a
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: great panel for you.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: In fact, there's only two panel members and myself.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: So first she explains that an acknowledgment of country is
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: not necessary, only then to do an acknowledgment of country.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Thank god there were only five people in the Australian
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: pavilion to witness this embarrassment. But does that not prove
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: how brainwashed these people are? She says, don't really need
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: to do this since we're not in our country, but
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: I'm going to do it anyway.
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: Well, well, if there's one bit of solace out of
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: all of this. It's that she didn't get to brainwash
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: many other people, either about four or five in that
• 2:17
  Speaker 6: crowd there for.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: The great panel of two people.
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: You know, we paid eight hundred and seventy grand for
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: that pavilion at COP twenty nine, eight one hundred and
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: seventy grand, and there were all of five and then
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: six seven eight when you count the people on the stage,
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: and when they paid for it. They said, this all
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: came out last week. Of course, when COP twenty nine
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: kicked off. They said, you know, it would be a
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: home away from home for Australians who had gone to
• 2:43
  Speaker 6: COP twenty nine, and it would be a chance to
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: showcase all that is great about Australian industry when it
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: comes to renewable energy. And those who wanted in managed
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: to get welcome to country that they may well have never.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Even been to. But the big problem with it, of course, apart.
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: From the fact that it's happening in Azerbaijan, is that
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: she's given an acknowledgment of country for the traditional owners
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: of Australia and the Torres Strait Islands. Now, if you
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: talk to the some four hundred odd countries that existed
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: within the land that we call Australia before it was colonized.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: They would say, what the hell are you.
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: Doing, because, of course, the point is to acknowledge the
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: particular traditional owners of the piece of land on which
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: you stand, of which there happen to be more than
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: four hundred groups. So now she's just tossed them all
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: into the one bag as though they're exactly the same thing,
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: and said, oh, yeah, all Aboriginal people, they're all from
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: the same mob.
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: Well they're not.
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: So she herself has done something that you could argue
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: was anti indigenous, potentially racist, because she didn't acknowledge the
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: actual traditional owners. They're all the same now apparently. I mean,
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: it just shows how ridiculous this whole thing is.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Liz, I just loved the guy.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you saw it on the video,
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: but the guy seeing the front row as she's doing
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: the acknowledgment of country, he grabs his phone and takes
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: a photo.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: I'm going to remember this moment forever.
• 4:01
  Speaker 7: He's probably filming it, just being like, this has got
• 4:04
  Speaker 7: to be the stupidest thing I've ever seen. But how
• 4:08
  Speaker 7: do you like us forking out this much money.
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: So this fifty million was for loss and damage.
• 4:16
  Speaker 7: Pennywong said, we're responding to extreme weather and slowing onset
• 4:20
  Speaker 7: climate events in the Pacific. Can you give us some examples?
• 4:26
  Speaker 7: What kind of bang can we expect.
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: For this buck? That's fifty million?
• 4:30
  Speaker 7: But this fifty million, ladies and gentlemen, is on top
• 4:33
  Speaker 7: of the one hundred million that we've committed to the
• 4:36
  Speaker 7: Pacific Resilience Committee. What do they do? Do you just
• 4:41
  Speaker 7: literally make up names for committees?
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: And that is on top of another fifty million for.
• 4:48
  Speaker 7: The Australia Pacific Partnership for Energy Transition. Now we'd like
• 4:53
  Speaker 7: to assume that their purpose is in the name.
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: But again, how are you transitioning?
• 4:58
  Speaker 7: Since you're doing such a great job here at home
• 5:01
  Speaker 7: in Australia with your green transition, how are we transitioning
• 5:05
  Speaker 7: the Pacific? Exactly? That's two hundred million dollars right there.
• 5:11
  Speaker 7: How much more do you need before we change the weather?
• 5:13
  Speaker 8: Like?
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: Can we just cut to the chase? How much more
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: do you need?
• 5:18
  Speaker 7: Of course, you and I know that this is a
• 5:20
  Speaker 7: bottomless pit and this has got nothing to do with
• 5:23
  Speaker 7: changing the weather and everything to do with the massive
• 5:26
  Speaker 7: Global Wealth Redistribution Project, that this whole thing is a
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: trojan horse, for it drives me up the wall. Is
• 5:36
  Speaker 7: China is China with its massive output of emissions. Are
• 5:42
  Speaker 7: they contributing to the Pacific nations?
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: No? When they go to Pacific nations, they're smarter. They
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: just buy up bits.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: They just give.
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: Them facilities and other things that the Pacific islanders are like,
• 5:55
  Speaker 7: oh yeah, we want a piece of that.
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: Only China's really buying them up.
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: They're far more strategic. We just throw the massive wads
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: of cash. We the taxpayer never see that ever again.
• 6:10
  Speaker 7: We never get a receipt as to what that was
• 6:13
  Speaker 7: spent on.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: And here's wong.
• 6:15
  Speaker 7: She says, the government recognizes the profound impacts of climate
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: change on Pacific communities, culture, livelihoods.
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: How is how is it? Can you give us a
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: pie chart?
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: Can you give us anything showing the impact that it
• 6:30
  Speaker 7: is happening on culture over there, on livelihoods over there?
• 6:35
  Speaker 7: If they could show us, oh this many jobs are
• 6:37
  Speaker 7: being lost due to these conditions, et cetera, and so on.
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: But they play us for complete flogs. They do not
• 6:43
  Speaker 7: even justify the expenditure.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: That the part that really stuck in my craw from
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: Penny Wong's quote is where she talks about being responsible
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: for the livelihoods of people in the Pacific Islands, throwing
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: and two hundred million dollars. I just like two hundred
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: and seventy five dollars we've forgot. I love that we've
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: got people in this country homeless, elderly people who can't
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: pay their power bills, and the government's worried about the
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: livelihoods of people in the Pacific Islands. Now, I'm not
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: saying that we shouldn't care about other people, but take
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: care of those at home first. And when the government
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: can't afford to do what they promised prior to the election,
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: they shouldn't be splashing money around overseas.
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: We will.
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: It's be pacific about what's going on here. See, I
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: hate it when people say pacific instead of specific.
• 7:27
  Speaker 8: I'm sure kill Richards if he's.
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: Watching more or less. When people say new Killah.
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: Starts manifesting, ladies, someone is killer like.
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: It's spelt in ucl A, New clear, it's not got
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: him going Pacific not Pacific anyway. Having made that point
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: to be pacific about what he's going on here, this
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: is just blackmail money, right, because, as you said before, Liz,
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: China goes in and gave is in debt diplomacy Belton
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: Road where they give these Pacific nations loads and loads
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: of money and say, oh, it's all yours.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Don't worry about it.
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: And we know at some point they'll come in and
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: cash the check and say, actually, thank you very much,
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: we're going to get our money back. Now, Oh you
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: can't pay it, well, maybe there's something else you can
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: do for us. So we're just splashing around the cash
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: in the hopes that will somehow combat China.
• 8:22
  Speaker 8: We ain't going to combat it.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: And to say because they're developing exactly, and I think
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: they've got one of the largest militaries in the world.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: They've got a space station, but they're still developing.
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: And they went to COP twenty nine asking for a
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: billion dollars from US and other countries to be given
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: to countries like China.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: I mean seriously, speaking of.
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: Spending all this money and what happens when you don't
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: spend it properly. North Sydney Council, now you probably know
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: about the North Sydney Pool. If you've never been there,
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: you would definitely have seen a photograph of it.
• 8:54
  Speaker 8: It's right under the Sydney Harbor Bridge.
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: It is probably the most famous pool in the country
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: and a few years ago North Sydney Council decided, being
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: the great landmark that it is, that it.
• 9:04
  Speaker 8: Deserved an upgrade. Now, when they began this upgrade.
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: It was going to be sixty four million dollars. That
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: then blew out to ninety one point five million dollars
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: and now they say it's going.
• 9:16
  Speaker 8: To be one hundred and twenty two.
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: Point two million dollars to complete an upgrade of a
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: dam swimming pool.
• 9:25
  Speaker 8: This has been going on since twenty twenty two. Mind
• 9:28
  Speaker 8: you were coming up to two.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Years of this.
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: In the midst of all of that, they had to
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: pull down the new roof frame that they put up
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: because they discovered there were quote unquote design problems with it.
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: When you've actually started building the thing and realized there's
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: something wrong, then there is definitely something wrong. But of
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: course the council now says, heck, we don't actually have
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: the money to deal with the fact that this project
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: has doubled in budget, So where are they going to
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: get the money from.
• 9:55
  Speaker 8: They're going to get it from.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: The poor schmacks.
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: The rate payers of North City Knee, aren't they. The
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: suggestion is that rates could almost double in some cases.
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: I mean they're talking about here property rates increasing by
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: sixty five to one hundred and eleven percent.
• 10:14
  Speaker 8: Over the next three years.
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: They're also going to consider selling some of their facilities
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: to fund these works. The residents, as you can imagine,
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: have hit the roof about this. The minimum rates in
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: North Sydney Council. Because the cost of building a pool
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: has gone up to one hundred and twenty two million dollars,
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: the basic rates could go from seven hundred and fifteen
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: bucks to thirteen.
• 10:33
  Speaker 8: Hundred a year.
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: The average rates at the moment are one thousand and
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: forty that had go to one thousand, six hundred and
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: if you're a business, you go from six thousand, seven
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: hundred and twenty four bucks to eleven thousand, three hundred
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: and seven all because they couldn't build a pool for
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: less than one hundred and twenty million dollars.
• 10:52
  Speaker 8: And actually, sorry I'm wrong, I'm saying build the pool.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: The pool already exists. They just starts creating it.
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: Like what sort of pool a you're going to get
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: for one hundred and twenty two million dollars.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: I expect the thing to be gold plated.
• 11:03
  Speaker 8: If that's what they're going to handle, and.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: They're using bottled water, I think to fill it. But
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: I mean their answer is to raise rates that the
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: answer is never that they should resign. I mean, if
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: you did something like this in the corporate sector, you
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: would be on the gutter so fast. But somehow, if
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: you work in government, you stay in your position. And
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: the bureaucrats who probably performed even worse than the counselors
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: who signed off on this. The chief financial officer of
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: the council said that part of the problem, I can't
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: believe this was they proceeded with the work prior to
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: the designs being completed, and so they put a roof
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: on this pool and then realized there were major flaws
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: with the design. The problem was they started it without
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: the designs having been finished in the first place, the
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: financial officer said, and I quote, significant risks were taken
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: and indeed were realized.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: No show, and where.
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: Were you, chief financial officer?
• 11:59
  Speaker 7: Where were you when they decided to gamble with millions
• 12:02
  Speaker 7: and millions of rate payers dollars? I mean, isn't that
• 12:07
  Speaker 7: your job to go. Hang on a minute, this could
• 12:10
  Speaker 7: easily blow out. Your plans aren't even finished, and yet
• 12:13
  Speaker 7: you're turning the sod. Can we just hit the pause
• 12:15
  Speaker 7: button here? Don't you love paying for all three tiers
• 12:20
  Speaker 7: of government inefficiency. It's not just local government, it's not
• 12:25
  Speaker 7: just state government, it's not just federal government. It's all
• 12:29
  Speaker 7: three of them, consistently saying, oh, the health service is
• 12:33
  Speaker 7: in the toilet. We need more nurses. We can't afford
• 12:37
  Speaker 7: to pay them more. The police are striking. This is terrible.
• 12:41
  Speaker 7: The council's saying, we're going to have to put your
• 12:43
  Speaker 7: rates up because we've staffed up. It's always their fault.
• 12:48
  Speaker 7: We give them the money, we pay our taxes. We
• 12:51
  Speaker 7: have no choice in the matter. It is their responsibility
• 12:55
  Speaker 7: to spend it wisely.
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: Is it that hard? Is it that hard?
• 13:00
  Speaker 7: I've been a city councilor You've got to pore over
• 13:03
  Speaker 7: the budget every single year, it's the most important part
• 13:07
  Speaker 7: of the.
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: Year, and then stay within your means. How hard is it?
• 13:11
  Speaker 8: Remember?
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: Oh, maybe a month ago we were laughing about the
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: fact that the Adelaide Hills Council had come up with
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: a deficit of four million dollars. You know, they got
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: to the end of the year when oh heck, we
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: spent four million dollars then we actually had in the bank.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: How did that happen?
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: And we thought that was ridiculous they were doing about
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: a project that doubles from you know, sixty odd million
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: to one hundred and twenty odd million. The state government
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: needs to intervene here seriously, like rate payers should not
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: have to pay through the nose for the incompetence of
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: counselors and staff.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: It's not their fault. This project has ballooned out.
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: So I even use the jolly people.
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: No exactly, it was probably a lot of out of
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: towers who come in and use it. I mean they
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: should that the state government has to go in there
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: and either bankrupt them, tell them you insolvent, you're trading
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: insolvent and so you've got to go or you say,
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: the entire council and seen in an administrator. Because if
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: that is how you are running a form of government
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: in this country, you do not deserve to keep your job.
• 14:09
  Speaker 6: We should not have to pay for the incompetence of
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: idiots like this. It is plain and simple. If the
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: state government doesn't intervene in this situation. They're asleep at
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: the wheel. That's what the local government minister is doing.
• 14:21
  Speaker 7: He should just be replaced with the commissioner, Like, really,
• 14:23
  Speaker 7: the council is not.
• 14:25
  Speaker 8: Fit for purpose.
• 14:26
  Speaker 7: You guys didn't do your job to the tune of
• 14:28
  Speaker 7: this many million dollars to the States now where we
• 14:31
  Speaker 7: know that Trump's picks for his top roles have been
• 14:35
  Speaker 7: causing eye rolls and a lot of angst, but perhaps
• 14:40
  Speaker 7: none are more bizarre than this one education secretary. He's
• 14:45
  Speaker 7: chosen Linda McMahon, who has no education background whatsoever, and
• 14:50
  Speaker 7: perhaps she won't need it because, as we know, Trump
• 14:52
  Speaker 7: has famously promised he's going to get rid of the
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: education department at a federal level and leave it back
• 15:00
  Speaker 7: to the states. What a great idea, if only we
• 15:02
  Speaker 7: did the same thing here. Why do we need a
• 15:04
  Speaker 7: federal educational department as well as each state having an
• 15:08
  Speaker 7: educational department?
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: Riddle me that.
• 15:10
  Speaker 7: Well, Trump's decided he's sick of this nonsense and he's
• 15:14
  Speaker 7: dedicated to cutting the fat in Washington. So he's chosen
• 15:18
  Speaker 7: this woman, Linda McMahon, who hails from, of all places,
• 15:23
  Speaker 7: the world wrestling entertainment where she has been the CEO
• 15:29
  Speaker 7: for some years. If you don't know Linda, here's an
• 15:32
  Speaker 7: introo believe and he's also chosen to Mehmet Oz. He
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: was a household name in the US. He's somewhat of
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: a celebrity. He features on TV every other week in
• 16:10
  Speaker 7: American Households.
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: He is in fact a.
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: Heart surgeon, but then turned to TV celebrity giving out
• 16:17
  Speaker 7: health advice to all in sundry on a weekly basis.
• 16:21
  Speaker 7: Trump said that Oz will quote work closely with Robert F.
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: Kennedy Jr. To take on the illness.
• 16:27
  Speaker 7: Industrial complex and all the horrible chronic diseases left in
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: its way.
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: Kahati amen from me. If you know you know, ladies
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: and gentlemen.
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: This guy has come under a lot of scrutiny, with
• 16:40
  Speaker 7: some saying that, oh, well, he's encouraged pseudo science. Well,
• 16:45
  Speaker 7: I don't know exactly everything he's ever encouraged throughout his long,
• 16:49
  Speaker 7: lengthy and much meddled career, but I do know that
• 16:52
  Speaker 7: he recommended hydroxychloroquin during the pandemic, and in my book,
• 16:57
  Speaker 7: that gets you my vote, not that I can vote,
• 17:00
  Speaker 7: but this again, Trump is keeping in line with this
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: I don't give a stuff as to the Washington elites
• 17:08
  Speaker 7: opinion of my pick. I am going after everyone who
• 17:12
  Speaker 7: has a been loyal to me.
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: Mainly, there's a few people that he's forgiven.
• 17:16
  Speaker 7: He is magnanimous when he wants to be, But for
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: the most part, he's gone after those who are loyal
• 17:22
  Speaker 7: to him and those he knows who will cut the fat.
• 17:26
  Speaker 7: So what Mamet will be in charge of is the
• 17:29
  Speaker 7: centers for Medicare and Medicaid services. The US government spent
• 17:35
  Speaker 7: one point four trillion on Medicare and Medicaid in the
• 17:40
  Speaker 7: last year alone, in twenty twenty three, that is what
• 17:44
  Speaker 7: those departments spent. And Trump's like, I'm getting doctor Osmamet
• 17:49
  Speaker 7: to just take a chainsaw to this thing. It's going
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: to be so interesting what these guys come up with.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: I'm not surprised Trump is unconcerned by the way the
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: media tique his nominees, because you remember how the media
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: critiqued Joe Biden's nominees.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: I mean they formed over them.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: Rachel Levine was Assistant Health Secretary because she was trans
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: Pete Boudages was Transport Secretary because he was openly gay.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: Kareeine Jean Pierre was the spokesperson at the White House,
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: historic figure she claimed herself to be because she was black,
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: and the lesbian.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: You had Sam Brinton, remember Sam Brinton, the drag queen
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: was in charge of hopefully.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: Waste stealing other pe stealing luggage at the airport. You
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: had deb Haylend, who was in cabinet because she was
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: a Native American and at the time, now now I remember,
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: the media are critiquing all of these people, right, well,
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: you can't have this person as the education secretary because
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: she once was involved in world wrestling entertainment. Well, NPR
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: they critiqued the Biden nominees on the basis of diversity,
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: because Biden promised, I'm going to have the most diverse
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: cabinet America's ever seen. And so the NPR ran an
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: article headlined, here's how his nominees stack up as a
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: diversity cabinet, and they gave him a glowing report based
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: on melanan and sexual preferences. So that's how they critique
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: Biden's nominees. I think Trump is well within his rights
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: to say I don't care what you say about my nominees.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: After the way you critique Biden's I'm not listening.
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: Well, well, they could do a score on Trump's on
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: the basis of diversity as well, but instead this time
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: it would be on basis of diversity and sorry, thought
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: and experience that kind of diversity, not when we're talking
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: about race, etc. I mean, it's hard to think of
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: a cabinet that has been more critiqued than this one
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: from Donald Trump. I don't remember it being this heavy
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: the first time round in twenty sixteen when he was elected.
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: But of course it's because he has just made it
• 19:48
  Speaker 6: very clear this time that he's going to go in
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: and dismantle government waste and bureaucracy.
• 19:53
  Speaker 8: And that's what they're so worried.
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: About, that outsiders are being brought to the inside.
• 19:59
  Speaker 8: To run the inside.
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: I'd like they've run the outside, because of course, we've
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: always said for ages, you know, heck, we've got to
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: run household budgets and we've got to run business budgets.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Why the hell can't the government do the same.
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: And so you have a businessman in Donald Trump who goes, well,
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: I'm going to go and find a bunch of people
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: who have run business budgets and get them to come
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: and run government departments. And I mean Linda McMahon coming
• 20:23
  Speaker 6: from the WWE, I mean she's going to have to
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: wrestle with a lot of bureaucrats in this job, so
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: I think she is eminently qualified.
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: Fort the door is just like, abolish it.
• 20:34
  Speaker 7: Any charge of the department I want abolish on a
• 20:37
  Speaker 7: federal level.
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: That's been the other criticism is that these people are
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: supposedly not qualified for the positions they've been given because
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: they haven't necessarily worked in the sectors that they've been
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: appointed to. But I don't know our American viewers online
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: may find this concept a little strange.
• 20:54
  Speaker 8: It's the same in the UK, where.
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: Ministers are appointed from inside the government as in elected
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: MP's who often have no experience whatsoever in the portfolio
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: that they're appointed to, let alone any real life experience whatsoever.
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: I mean, we have people who are ministers of health
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: and education and everything else for the only qualification they've
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: ever had is a university degree and then they've gone
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: off to work in an MP's office. And we're quite
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: happy in Australia, in the UK and every other country
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: with a Westminster system of government to say that they
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: should be in charge of departments. But Donald Trump goes
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: and picks some business people and it's like, holy noly,
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: how could we possibly let them run the department.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: But for the Democrats to say that Trump's picks are
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: not qualified, I mean the Democratic nominee was not qualified
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: to be vice president and alone president. She was a
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: black woman. That's why she was given the gig. Let's
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: come back, hard night.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Glad Ya.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: Well, all right, Indian night.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: Galah, person of color, let's come back home to Australia.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: Saying historic day in Victoria. Don't take my word for it.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: To listen to the premiere of Victoria. Jacinta Allen. Now, sorry,
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: we didn't mean to show you that. That's just into
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: Ellen's inner thoughts during the press conference. Here is just
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: to Allen herself speaking at today's press conference.
• 22:24
  Speaker 9: Today is an historic day, an historic day for our state,
• 22:29
  Speaker 9: for our strong Victorian community. And it's historic because we're
• 22:33
  Speaker 9: about to embark on treaty negotiations will make our strong
• 22:37
  Speaker 9: state even stronger, even fairer, even more equal for all Victorians.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: If you want to know why Victoria is embarking on
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: a treaty, consider the fact she used the word historic
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: three times. In six seconds in that press conference. This
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: is all about Justina Allen having her moment in history,
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: the same as the apology was all about Kevin Rudd's
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: moment in history, the same as the voice was all
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: about Anthony Albanesi trying to etch his name in the
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: history books. Just Cinta Allen goes on in this press
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: conference trying to explain why a treaty is so necessary
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: for the state of Victoria. She talked on and on.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: None of it made much sense. He's a little bit
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: more of what she said.
• 23:23
  Speaker 9: We know that we need to get better outcomes, and
• 23:26
  Speaker 9: we know the outcomes right now are not fair. They're
• 23:29
  Speaker 9: not equal because throughout history, since colonization first peoples in
• 23:35
  Speaker 9: this state have been excluded from opportunity.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: So when you boil it all down, Liz and Caleb,
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: I come up with three things. Because I was trying
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: to understand why does Victoria need a treaty? The number
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: one thing she said is because we need to listen,
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: because we get better outcomes when we listen. Now, I
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: didn't know that you're unable to listen without a treaty
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: first being in place. And wasn't that the whole argument
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: with the voice that was acted by fifty four percent
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: of Victorians. Her second argument was that, and I love
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: it when politicians say we know that, and then they
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: say something. They never give any evidence as to how
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: we know. They just say, who know that exactly?
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: We who are pushing my narrative know that.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: So she says, we know that overseas treaty has produced
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: better outcomes. Well, you know, you can fly what three
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: hours across the ditch to New Zealand, and hats the
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: how the outcomes are going there. But her big argument
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: seemed to be that we need equality. I'm thinking, I'm
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: pretty sure we have equality in Victoria as we do
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: around the rest of the country. But it's equality of outcomes,
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: particularly education, health, incarceration rates, and life spans. And this
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: is where it doesn't matter whether it's the Voice, the treaty,
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: or whatever you do. If you choose to live a
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: lifestyle that embraces Indigenous culture, you can't then expect Western
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: culture outcomes.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: They're two different things.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: And so no matter what government does, you're always going
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: to end up with this gap. You're going to end
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: up with division in the community. Because this whole treaty process,
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: one of the other things.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: I really hate about it. It's secret. She said that
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: it's got to be.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: Done hind closed doors, because it's got to be done
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: in a culturally safe space. Well, what about the safety
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: of Victorian taxpayers whose money will be used to pay
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: for whatever's involved in this treaty. But she did assure
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: Victorians we will keep you updated. I'm not sure they would.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: M's Pallas.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Upstay.
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: We forgotten who works for her.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: The whole thing is just a joke. But it's going
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: to be historic. But it's going to be historic.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: You point out the example of New Zealand.
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: Right, fly three hours over the Dutch and go and
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: see how the treaty's going. The Treaty of way Tangi
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: was signed in eighteen forty. Right, it's been there for
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: a very long time, and we can see exactly how
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: that's going today. Because we're told in Victoria and everywhere
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: else that a treaty will solve the problems because once
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: we have the treaty, we've made good with the indigenous
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: people of Australia or Victoria or New South Wales or
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: South Australia, Western Australia, wherever it might be. That this
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: treaty is signed, and after that where we've all made
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: good with each other and then we can all move on. Well,
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: they signed the Treaty of way Tanging in eighteen forty
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: in New Zealand, and right now there are motions coming
• 26:26
  Speaker 6: up before Parliament, which is you would have seen the
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: video of the Hark been performed in parliament, et cetera.
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: Where the indigenous people of New Zealand, the Maoris, want
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: more rights.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: So it doesn't matter.
• 26:39
  Speaker 6: You can go through the treaty process and so that
• 26:41
  Speaker 6: we've now made good and made an agreement about who's
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: got whose land and what, and we all say it's
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: all fine now and we're all reconciled.
• 26:48
  Speaker 8: That ain't the end of it.
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: And that's the problem, especially when it's a secretive process
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: as the one that is going on in Victoria, because
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: a you don't know what's going to come out of
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: this process right now, but you don't know what's going
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: to come out of it further down the line. I mean,
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: there will be little easter eggs left all through this
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: thing that could cause trouble down the road. You cannot
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: tell me that signing a treaty is going to fix anything.
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: It just emboldens people. It says, well, we're open to
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: business here to give you whatever the hell you want.
• 27:19
  Speaker 8: Once you've got the treaty, that's not.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Going to be the end of the story.
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: And how many times have we been told this?
• 27:24
  Speaker 7: Right, it was the vote, they got the vote, as
• 27:27
  Speaker 7: they should.
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: Of course, then it was sorry day. Now we've made good.
• 27:30
  Speaker 7: Now we've made good, international national sorry day.
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: That is. Then it was the voice.
• 27:35
  Speaker 7: We need the voice, and that is going to make good.
• 27:38
  Speaker 7: That is going to make good. Meanwhile, nearly every single
• 27:42
  Speaker 7: state in the country was drawing up some form of
• 27:46
  Speaker 7: a treaty. Queensland famously says they're going to make a
• 27:50
  Speaker 7: treaty with every single tribe.
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: How do you think you're going to manage that?
• 27:54
  Speaker 7: There's well over one hundred closer to one hundred and
• 27:57
  Speaker 7: fifty different Queenslander tribes in the state. So, if anything,
• 28:02
  Speaker 7: Victoria has done a better job here just going we'll
• 28:05
  Speaker 7: just have.
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: One treaty for the state and that is that.
• 28:09
  Speaker 7: But firstly, how dare our government do this kind of
• 28:13
  Speaker 7: thing funded by the taxpayer secretly, so you don't know
• 28:17
  Speaker 7: how much this is gonna cost. She's taken nothing off
• 28:20
  Speaker 7: the table we're hearing you. They even want a say
• 28:24
  Speaker 7: in what kids are going to be taught in school
• 28:26
  Speaker 7: going forward, Like that's already not absolutely soaked in white
• 28:30
  Speaker 7: gilt from a young age.
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: Do us a favor.
• 28:33
  Speaker 7: But also what you were saying earlier, Mac, this gets
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: my goat every single time because when we talk about
• 28:39
  Speaker 7: closing the gap, it doesn't have to do with opportunity.
• 28:44
  Speaker 7: We have had equal opportunity in this country for a very,
• 28:48
  Speaker 7: very long time. But what it is saying is you, guys,
• 28:53
  Speaker 7: until you look like us, until your education outcomes alike ours,
• 28:58
  Speaker 7: until your life style reflects the healthcare outcomes that we
• 29:02
  Speaker 7: want to see in your community.
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: It is simply, what if they just don't want to
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: live like us?
• 29:08
  Speaker 7: Not all of them, but some are like opting out
• 29:11
  Speaker 7: saying no, I don't want to graduate school, spend years
• 29:15
  Speaker 7: in Uni, rack up a hex step, spend the rest
• 29:19
  Speaker 7: of my life at a.
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: Desk looking into a computer in.
• 29:23
  Speaker 7: A soulless office under fluorescent lights while the taxman takes the.
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: Heap of my earnings. Maybe they don't want that.
• 29:32
  Speaker 7: Maybe they don't want that. And something else that isn't
• 29:35
  Speaker 7: being addressed is why would you choose that? When the
• 29:38
  Speaker 7: welfare state has been so robust.
• 29:41
  Speaker 8: For so long.
• 29:42
  Speaker 7: What we have taught our own indigenous communities is you
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: don't have to go to work, you don't have to
• 29:49
  Speaker 7: live like us.
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: And why would they when they're like.
• 29:52
  Speaker 7: Well, hang on, my dad and his dad, they've never
• 29:56
  Speaker 7: gone to work. The taxpayer purse looks after us and
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: that's good enough for me, thank you very much.
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: It has become their way of.
• 30:05
  Speaker 7: Life, not all of them, but for a large proportion
• 30:08
  Speaker 7: of several of the indigenous communities.
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: And then we wonder why they don't want to change.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: Just look after people based on their need, not on
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: their race. Melbourne last weekend special shout out to Andre
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: from Coco Moon at Warndike Cafe. Watches the Late Debate
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: every single night and.
• 30:24
  Speaker 6: You're going to get a free coffee next day.
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: Counting on absolutely. But I got on skybus. I know
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: you've been on.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: Skybus as well.
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: You right at the airport and then you get this
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: acknowledgment of country and then they say, and a reminder,
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: this land has never been seeded.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: I'm just wondering.
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: If this treaty goes through and they're looking for, you know,
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: various little things, little trinkets. Is that going to be
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: the seeding of land?
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: And it also goes on the skybus about how it's
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: that the land we know is Melbourne and the land
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: we know as Australia, as though it may not actually
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: be so. But it's a very good point you raise,
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: Liz about the fact that all of this stuff, whether
• 31:05
  Speaker 6: it's treaty or the Voice or or any other way
• 31:09
  Speaker 6: in which the left sort of deals with indigenous affairs,
• 31:12
  Speaker 6: is that they love to complain about the awful things
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: the white man has done, but then their responses to
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: it are so often tainted by white man's paternalism in
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: terms of the way that they think other people should behave.
• 31:27
  Speaker 8: You can't have it both ways.
• 31:28
  Speaker 6: But as long as we feel warm and fuzzy inside,
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: that's what matters the most.
• 31:33
  Speaker 8: Day.
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: Now, we told you last night about Jaguar, the once
• 31:37
  Speaker 6: great British car manufacturer.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Now going down the road.
• 31:41
  Speaker 8: I told you last night. You know that the Mark
• 31:43
  Speaker 8: II and the XJ six, the wonderful pals they used
• 31:46
  Speaker 8: to produce.
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: I forgot to mention that E type. Of course, the
• 31:50
  Speaker 6: Jaguar E type is just sex on wheels. Basically, mad
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: of Mind's got three of them, and every time I
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: go to his place, I just walk into the garage
• 31:58
  Speaker 6: and drool. Basically, but we told you about their new ad,
• 32:01
  Speaker 6: which you can see a little bit of here, which
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: they launched yesterday on X. Basically, the idea here is, oh,
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: we're relaunching as an entirely ev company. They're not going
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: to have any petrol vehicles anymore. And of course in
• 32:15
  Speaker 6: this ad they take every diversity box you could find.
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: They've got people dressed up in weird gear and you know,
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: there's a token black person and a weird dress and
• 32:24
  Speaker 6: a woman with a short haircut, et cetera, because you
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: know we're going woke. Now there's no car in there,
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: you'll notice. And we asked the question last night, who
• 32:33
  Speaker 6: on earth came up with that as a marketing strategy.
• 32:36
  Speaker 8: Well we found the answer.
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: It's a bloke called Santino Pietro santi And here he
• 32:42
  Speaker 6: was just a month ago explaining everything that's great about Jaguar.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: And again you will.
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: Notice when you listen to him talking here, he says
• 32:52
  Speaker 6: absolutely nothing about.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: Cars and that Jaguar.
• 32:57
  Speaker 10: We're passionate about our people and we're committed to fostering
• 33:01
  Speaker 10: a diverse, inclusive, and unified culture that is representative not
• 33:05
  Speaker 10: only of the people who use our products, but in
• 33:09
  Speaker 10: a society in which we all live, a culture where
• 33:12
  Speaker 10: our employees can bring their authentic selves to work. We've
• 33:16
  Speaker 10: launched major policy revisions such as transitioning at work to
• 33:20
  Speaker 10: drive equity and support for our communities, embracing individuality as
• 33:25
  Speaker 10: our superpower.
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: Oh fantastic, Yes, that's what Jaguar is now, apparently not
• 33:32
  Speaker 6: the company of class and beauty that it once was.
• 33:35
  Speaker 6: It's all about, oh, well, you can come to work
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: and transis and your agenda.
• 33:38
  Speaker 8: How good is that?
• 33:39
  Speaker 6: And I'll note, by the way that when he was
• 33:41
  Speaker 6: giving that speech, he was wearing a sea through top,
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: So you know, that really tells you a lot about
• 33:45
  Speaker 6: the quality that they've got over Jaguar these days. My grandfather,
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: back in the day was a Jaguar man. He loved Jags.
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: He had XJ six's, he had dameless sovereigns. He had
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: an XJS at one point.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: V twelve that just does through fuel.
• 34:01
  Speaker 8: He loved them beautiful vehicles.
• 34:03
  Speaker 6: I can tell you you could not pay him to
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: buy a Jaguar today the way they are going, And
• 34:09
  Speaker 6: why would you want to buy a Jaguar the way
• 34:11
  Speaker 6: the way they're going.
• 34:12
  Speaker 8: This is what happens. This bloke here, what's his.
• 34:15
  Speaker 6: Name, Santino Petrio santi is the perfect example of what
• 34:20
  Speaker 6: happens when these people are allowed to take over corporates.
• 34:24
  Speaker 8: And you've seen it all across the corporate world.
• 34:26
  Speaker 6: Now where once great companies and there you go examples
• 34:30
  Speaker 6: of the brilliance of what Jaguar could once do.
• 34:32
  Speaker 8: They have taken over these companies and run.
• 34:34
  Speaker 6: Them into the ground to impress their other mates in
• 34:38
  Speaker 6: the corporate world. Who gives a damn what the consumer wants.
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: It's oh, well, we've got to get our esg points, right.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: Could you imagine buying a Jaguar from Santino, You'd ask,
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: you know, like, so, can you tell me about the engine.
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: He'd say, well, there's fifteen diversity, equity and inclusion groups.
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: So what's the top speed of this vehicle? He'd say,
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: every person should be free to be themselves. He'd say,
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: does it come with a turbo? We'd say, individuality is
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: our superpower. Because he's not selling Jaguars, Jaguar is the
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: vehicle for him to sell diversity, equity, inclusion and as
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: for them caring about their customers. He actually said those
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: angered by the reband rebrand are no longer the target market,
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: so they're wow fitting on every person who are Radar
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: ag you and saying we're.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: Done with you.
• 35:24
  Speaker 7: Gain creta hone in on zero point five percent of
• 35:28
  Speaker 7: the population Jaguar great marketing strategy.
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: Absolutely incredible.
• 35:33
  Speaker 7: But before we go to an ad break, something that
• 35:36
  Speaker 7: is pretty incredible happening in South Australia is did you
• 35:40
  Speaker 7: know this is the state where the police have to
• 35:44
  Speaker 7: receive a report whenever a car crash happens, where the
• 35:47
  Speaker 7: damages are over three thousand dollars. That's not even much nowadays.
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: If you're no your local panel BETA.
• 35:57
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's basically a ding in a car park. You've
• 36:00
  Speaker 7: got to go to the police, You've got a register
• 36:02
  Speaker 7: it there and the police are crying out for the
• 36:05
  Speaker 7: state government to do something. Please malanowskis because this is
• 36:10
  Speaker 7: such a waste of our resources. In a letter to
• 36:14
  Speaker 7: the Transport Minister, Contucinantis.
• 36:17
  Speaker 6: Time Coots and tonis what the hell did you read it?
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: Far?
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: Excuse me?
• 36:24
  Speaker 7: Sorry co specific he's the Police Association president.
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: Wade Burns wrote.
• 36:30
  Speaker 7: There are about six hundred person in person vehicle collision
• 36:35
  Speaker 7: reports made to the South Australian police stations on a
• 36:38
  Speaker 7: weekly baseless side notes, South Australians, what the heck are
• 36:42
  Speaker 7: you doing on your roads? He goes on to say,
• 36:45
  Speaker 7: even the most basic reports take at least fifteen minutes
• 36:48
  Speaker 7: of our time. This equates to at least one hundred
• 36:51
  Speaker 7: and fifty police hours every single week. The requirement diverts
• 36:56
  Speaker 7: police resources away from critical jobs such as investigating accidents
• 37:01
  Speaker 7: with injuries, fatalities, crime investigations, domestic violence incidents and urgent
• 37:08
  Speaker 7: response taskings.
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: Please take this off our hands.
• 37:13
  Speaker 7: To my knowledge, no other state has such a ridiculous
• 37:17
  Speaker 7: law being implemented. What on earth do the police have
• 37:21
  Speaker 7: to be That's like requiring them basically to be un
• 37:24
  Speaker 7: scene at every crash.
• 37:26
  Speaker 6: It's just bizarre, isn't it. There was in way Burns
• 37:30
  Speaker 6: Leader there was the example of one police station were
• 37:32
  Speaker 6: forty percent of their police time is taken up by
• 37:36
  Speaker 6: people coming in to report crashes.
• 37:39
  Speaker 8: This is just bureaucracy gone.
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: What I don't understand about this is why is the
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: police union or the Police association taking this up? Doesn't
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: a police commissioner sit down? With a police minister and
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: don't they have coffee occasionally and say.
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: Hey, here were a couple of things with so mac.
• 37:53
  Speaker 7: But having worked for everyone a government, it needs this way.
• 37:58
  Speaker 6: It's because the police minister can't remember the Transport minister's name.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: He thinks he's koona Munder.
• 38:04
  Speaker 5: You should go by Koda. I mean, make it make
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: it easier for us. Tom Come on, mate, we're.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: Going to go to a break.
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: When we come back to look at what's making news tomorrow,
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: including car thieves being treated not as criminals but as addicts.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: That's coming up in a month. Well, welcome back.
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: Let's look at what's making news in tomorrow's papers. Liz,
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: you've got the Camera Times. Pretty funny story people being
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: asked to take a.
• 38:27
  Speaker 7: Pay cut, and believe it or not, they made the
• 38:31
  Speaker 7: mistake of asking them whether they wouldn't take next year's
• 38:34
  Speaker 7: pay rise, and the vast majority said get stuffed. The
• 38:38
  Speaker 7: Camera Times. The splash reads a and U staff's no
• 38:41
  Speaker 7: to vice chancellor. Nine out of ten staff members at
• 38:45
  Speaker 7: the Australian National University rejected the Vice Chancellor's plea to
• 38:49
  Speaker 7: give up their next pay rise as part of a
• 38:52
  Speaker 7: drive to cut costs. So the an u's vice chancellor
• 38:58
  Speaker 7: is taking a ten percent cut to her one point
• 39:02
  Speaker 7: one five million dollar salary.
• 39:06
  Speaker 5: So that's very big of her.
• 39:09
  Speaker 7: But I'll wager none of your staff are on that
• 39:12
  Speaker 7: much and so they're just not willing to take the
• 39:16
  Speaker 7: fall with you. It says four seven hundred and eighty
• 39:20
  Speaker 7: two staff participated.
• 39:22
  Speaker 5: In the online ballot. Yeah, I bet they did.
• 39:25
  Speaker 7: That's one email that you would participated. You know when
• 39:28
  Speaker 7: your boss always sends you emails being like, respond to
• 39:30
  Speaker 7: this survey, participate now, and you're like, nah, I get stuff.
• 39:34
  Speaker 5: Can't be bothered.
• 39:35
  Speaker 7: I'm not paid enough for this now that one that one.
• 39:38
  Speaker 5: Got their attention.
• 39:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah, because you won't be paid enough if you don't
• 39:41
  Speaker 6: respond to that. I mean, imagine having to hide on
• 39:44
  Speaker 6: your million dollars to go off to the staff and go, look,
• 39:47
  Speaker 6: do you reckon?
• 39:48
  Speaker 8: You could four go.
• 39:49
  Speaker 6: Your pay rise so you can get my budget back
• 39:52
  Speaker 6: in the black.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: Click.
• 39:54
  Speaker 6: You're the one who's running the show. Surely you can
• 39:56
  Speaker 6: find other ways to manage your budget. Well, perhaps you
• 39:59
  Speaker 6: could have just not let it get so big before
• 40:02
  Speaker 6: you ended up in this position.
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: But you know why, the vice chancellor gets the big bucks.
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: Go because he's so positive. She says that, you know,
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: after the survey, they'll find other ways to save money.
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: And then she says this, every staff member who voters
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: has helped shape the conversation about how we achieve financial sustainability. Yeah,
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: without our help, that's how they've shaped the conversation. But
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: she's thanked them for their great contributions.
• 40:28
  Speaker 5: For responding to my survey.
• 40:30
  Speaker 6: Oh my goodness, Like, could you think of anyone actually
• 40:33
  Speaker 6: voting for that, like putting there?
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: Well, actually people do.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, eighty eight percent rejected. It's twelve per CDH. They
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: were willing to give up.
• 40:42
  Speaker 8: Their pay rides.
• 40:43
  Speaker 6: I want to know who those people are, because I
• 40:45
  Speaker 6: suspect there's someone out there who'll employ them tomorrow and
• 40:48
  Speaker 6: never give them a pay rise. Again, Let's go to
• 40:50
  Speaker 6: the front of the Gold Coast bulletin tomorrow, where there
• 40:53
  Speaker 6: is one hell of a story Hump Tower. Residents of
• 40:58
  Speaker 6: a new luxury tower in the art of Swanky Main
• 41:01
  Speaker 6: Beach can be seen quote urinating, showering, and fornicating thanks
• 41:06
  Speaker 6: to clear windows installed in their bathrooms. The first residence
• 41:10
  Speaker 6: of raptist groups, Pearl Tower, moved into the Main Beach
• 41:13
  Speaker 6: parade building in October, but neighbors soon discovered clear glass
• 41:17
  Speaker 6: windows allowed them to see directly into the bathrooms. Now, look,
• 41:23
  Speaker 6: I'm sure if you live in the building opposite that's
• 41:26
  Speaker 6: been enough of an insult to your eyes to be
• 41:28
  Speaker 6: subjected to that. But can you imagine being the poor
• 41:31
  Speaker 6: bugger who's moved into one of these apartments, And you know,
• 41:36
  Speaker 6: I'm assuming you're not just standing there looking up at
• 41:38
  Speaker 6: your windows all the time, so you assume it's safe
• 41:40
  Speaker 6: to go into the bathroom and then you discover that
• 41:43
  Speaker 6: they actually put clear glass on it.
• 41:47
  Speaker 7: Who wouldn't notice if I walked into a glass toilet jubicle?
• 41:53
  Speaker 5: I don't think that would escape my attention.
• 41:55
  Speaker 7: I mean, this is get naked, get into a shower,
• 42:00
  Speaker 7: were and this is just sheer glass. If they can
• 42:03
  Speaker 7: see you, if you can see them, they can see you.
• 42:06
  Speaker 7: But they can look very very simple, but they can
• 42:11
  Speaker 7: do like.
• 42:11
  Speaker 6: A polarizing type thing like this glass that you can
• 42:14
  Speaker 6: see through one side and they can't see through the other.
• 42:17
  Speaker 5: I love this because there's a film on it.
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: Neighbors soon discovered clear glass windows allowed them to see
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: directly in the bathrooms.
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: Will stop looking, that's the answer.
• 42:27
  Speaker 5: Like their folds.
• 42:29
  Speaker 7: They should sue for having their innocence robbed from so.
• 42:34
  Speaker 6: You know, you know in Back to the Future where
• 42:36
  Speaker 6: where Marty goes back to the future and then he
• 42:39
  Speaker 6: finds his father's up the tree with the binoculars looking
• 42:43
  Speaker 6: looking into what is his future mother's window, and then
• 42:46
  Speaker 6: he falls out of the tree and he gets hit
• 42:47
  Speaker 6: by the car, and that's who his parents meet.
• 42:49
  Speaker 8: But then Marty goes up the tree and falls and
• 42:52
  Speaker 8: I'll tell you what ends up having to meet his mother.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: That's what's going to happen here.
• 42:55
  Speaker 6: There might actually be people who meet and get married
• 42:58
  Speaker 6: in Oh my god, what.
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: I've heard is raptors selling many units, but the neighboring.
• 43:05
  Speaker 6: So many people through the road project protection.
• 43:11
  Speaker 5: Happening here load of peeping toms. Who am I working with?
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: What we're saying.
• 43:21
  Speaker 6: Money there out of the peeping toms because they want
• 43:24
  Speaker 6: to live over the road by one.
• 43:26
  Speaker 5: Of the very facts. Had that occurred to.
• 43:28
  Speaker 6: You, Max, it's just very Go to the front page.
• 43:31
  Speaker 5: Under the overflow of the heart the Mouse.
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: Let's go to the front page of towns or bulletin.
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: The headline reads car theft addiction Now one thousand seven
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: hundred and fifty nine cars were stolen in Townsville last year,
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: so it's a massive problem. Here is how they've decided
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: to deal with it. A bold new initiative is looking
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: to curtail the scourge of youth crime and car thefts
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: by treating it like an addiction Spearheaded by Townsvill Street University,
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: the program applies to principl for drug addiction treatment to
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: early intervention in a bid to stop young offenders who
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: are hooked on the thrill of stealing cars. I'm not
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: quite sure how this is going to work.
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: Do you sit a whole lot.
• 44:12
  Speaker 5: Of cars around in a circle.
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: They introduced themselves.
• 44:18
  Speaker 5: Since I stole.
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: The car exactly.
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: I think to stick them in jail and throw away
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: the key rather have a therapy session.
• 44:25
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 44:25
  Speaker 6: I know that they're sort of running out of ideas
• 44:28
  Speaker 6: because things just keep getting worse. But as you say, like,
• 44:32
  Speaker 6: how about actually getting the coppers on the job and
• 44:35
  Speaker 6: actually doing something about these kids? Like, you know, I
• 44:38
  Speaker 6: get the idea that early intervention is important because you
• 44:42
  Speaker 6: want to stop these kids after the first car they've
• 44:44
  Speaker 6: stolen from ever stealing another car. You want to put
• 44:46
  Speaker 6: them on the straight and narrow on the right path,
• 44:49
  Speaker 6: but treating it like it is an addiction, as though
• 44:51
  Speaker 6: it's a softly softly I will you got to come
• 44:54
  Speaker 6: for a session next week.
• 44:55
  Speaker 8: So have you fallen off the wagon this week? Little Johnny?
• 44:59
  Speaker 8: Who stole in any cars this week?
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 45:02
  Speaker 6: Seriously, that ain't going to do anything. Give the kids
• 45:05
  Speaker 6: some tough love, that's what they are.
• 45:06
  Speaker 7: And it also suggests calling it an addiction also suggests
• 45:10
  Speaker 7: they can't help it, yes, which is just nonsense to.
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: The odds now labor blame.
• 45:15
  Speaker 5: Does Wind Company blown away?
• 45:18
  Speaker 7: Mainland Australia's last wind tower manufacturer will be forced to
• 45:22
  Speaker 7: mothball its plant in a major embarrassment for the Albanesi
• 45:26
  Speaker 7: government after cheap imports using heavy polluting Chinese steel have
• 45:31
  Speaker 7: destroyed the local industry and cast a shadow over Labour's
• 45:36
  Speaker 7: domestic renewables policy. How many shadows before we just call
• 45:41
  Speaker 7: this an outright blackout, ladies and gentlemen, How many times
• 45:46
  Speaker 7: do we have to learn about the downfalls of one
• 45:49
  Speaker 7: of these projects until you're just like, Okay, you guys
• 45:53
  Speaker 7: are never going to admit that this simply isn't feasible anymore.
• 45:56
  Speaker 6: Nana, But it's all about helping the environment. Liz, come on,
• 46:00
  Speaker 6: can't ye?
• 46:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we head out China still.
• 46:04
  Speaker 6: Sending our cold of China so they can burn it
• 46:06
  Speaker 6: to make it into turbines to send over to us
• 46:09
  Speaker 6: with steel, with iron, all that we've sent over to
• 46:11
  Speaker 6: them that they make that's bad for the planet. That's
• 46:14
  Speaker 6: going to save the planet. Why can't you see that?
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: And going absolutely perfectly. We're going to go to a
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: break when we come back. Incredible footage from Melbourne where
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: some guys set fire to a nightclub, but not before
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: setting fire to themselves.
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: That's coming up from.
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: Welcome back, all right, Kelly, You've got some very ineptarists
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: down in Melbourne at the moment.
• 46:36
  Speaker 8: This is amazing.
• 46:38
  Speaker 6: These dopes have toddled along to Lux Nightclub on Chapel
• 46:42
  Speaker 6: Street in Melbourne, and as you can see here, they
• 46:45
  Speaker 6: don't know exactly why they've targeted this place. But he
• 46:48
  Speaker 6: walks out having tried to set the joint on fire,
• 46:51
  Speaker 6: on fire himself.
• 46:53
  Speaker 8: What a brainiac key is. And his mate still got
• 46:56
  Speaker 8: the kerry tan full.
• 46:57
  Speaker 6: Of hill fire and he's like, no, I'm going to
• 47:02
  Speaker 6: finish the job.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: I'm going to finish the job here and Matsy really.
• 47:05
  Speaker 6: Set the joint on I mean seriously. Now, now I
• 47:09
  Speaker 6: haven't been to Lux nightclub. I've been to Reb's Revolver,
• 47:13
  Speaker 6: just up the road on Chapel Street.
• 47:14
  Speaker 8: There it's basically twenty four hours. It's a hell of
• 47:17
  Speaker 8: a place.
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: I have to tell you.
• 47:18
  Speaker 6: Chapel Street of a nighttime two am, this was this happened.
• 47:22
  Speaker 6: But I mean, how could you be so aggrieved by
• 47:24
  Speaker 6: a nightclub that you want to set the joint on fire.
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: But they're hardly the greatest.
• 47:28
  Speaker 6: Criminals that Melbourne's ever produced. Melbourne is known for, you know,
• 47:31
  Speaker 6: top level criminals. I don't think they're going to make
• 47:34
  Speaker 6: the list.
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: A guy with the jerrykad he's just everywhere everyone gets
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: out to near his car and.
• 47:40
  Speaker 5: His mate is literally on the drop and roll.
• 47:44
  Speaker 7: Made or trying to hit him with your jackead or
• 47:47
  Speaker 7: oh that's your life.
• 47:49
  Speaker 5: Nah.
• 47:50
  Speaker 7: His maid's running around literally in flames, and he's.
• 47:54
  Speaker 5: Just like, oh, I got a job to do the background.
• 47:57
  Speaker 7: I reckon they're inebriated. That's why they're so highly flammable,
• 48:01
  Speaker 7: and that's why they don't seem to have a clue
• 48:04
  Speaker 7: what they're doing.
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: Maybe don't we go let's talk about the Church of England.
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: Sunday attendances have been dwindling, so Saint Peter's at Bradford
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: have come up with a novel way to get the
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: faithful back to church.
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: It's called Wrestling Kingdom.
• 48:22
  Speaker 11: Wrestling for me, is this amalgamation, this mesh of faith
• 48:27
  Speaker 11: and wrestling. Any Christian will tell you that when you
• 48:30
  Speaker 11: go through your life, you wrestle with stuff, you wrestle
• 48:32
  Speaker 11: with your faith.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: When you face a really tough.
• 48:35
  Speaker 11: Challenge, how do you see God in that challenge and
• 48:38
  Speaker 11: how do you continue to remain in faith? And I
• 48:41
  Speaker 11: really felt that wrestling gives us that opportunity to tell
• 48:43
  Speaker 11: those stories.
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: This is I always wondered what they meant by that
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: Bible beshing. Is that what the.
• 48:55
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I feel closer to God already. Thanks guys.
• 48:59
  Speaker 7: What they're if you have to do something this is
• 49:02
  Speaker 7: stupid to get crowds to your church. You're doing something
• 49:06
  Speaker 7: drastically wrong.
• 49:07
  Speaker 5: My friends.
• 49:08
  Speaker 7: If the gospel you're preaching isn't skin to lady enough,
• 49:12
  Speaker 7: you're not preaching the gospel.
• 49:13
  Speaker 6: It reminds me in faulty tows, he's got this dodgy
• 49:15
  Speaker 6: bloke who comes in to do some work, and he
• 49:17
  Speaker 6: keeps mentioning God and Faulty Basil. Faulty says to him,
• 49:21
