  Speaker 1: Late Welcome Late Debate.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us on the Late Debate. James Macpherson
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: with Liz Storer and Caleb Bond. Well, just when you
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: thought Joe Biden could not get any more confused, he can.
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: Will show you proof in just a moment.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Plus, when we look at the papers billionaires unimpressed by
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: the government's three hundred dollars energy rebate. They're promising to
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: donate it to charity and new curfew laws for the
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Northern Territory. But first we've got to tell you about
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: a wild meeting tonight at Cumberland City Council where councilors
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: are debating whether or not to overturn a ban on
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: a same sex parenting book in the local library. Now,
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: hundreds of protesters have gathered outside the City council chambers tonight.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: It's required half a dozen police to keep protesters apart
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: as they've chanted slogans at each other.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: Some of them were there for three hours. Have a look.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: You can see some of the vision here and we'll
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: give you a bit more of this. Have listened to
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: what some of the protesters were saying, Caleb that was
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: outside the chambers. Everyone's got signs they're yelling at each other.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Police are keeping them apart, but inside the chambers it
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: got even worse.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: Certainly has because, of course, sir, you would know. The
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: decision was made to ban the book or remove it
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: from the library a couple of weeks ago. The motion
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: tonight is to change that. There is still no result.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: By the way, this meeting started at six thirty, so
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: it's been going on for some time. Seventeen people were
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: scheduled to speak tonight. Here is one of them who
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: is a transgender teacher.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: My name's Evan Gray.
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: I'm an early childhood educator. I work in the local
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: government sector, and I'm a United Services Union member and
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: activist currently em bargaining at the moment. I'm also proud
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: to be part of the transgender community, and I'd like
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: to say that, honestly, this ban that was put forward
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: is a disgrace. It is logistically unsound and it is nonsensical.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: Paul, who is sitting in the studio just across from us,
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: has told us that that meeting is now going to
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: go on until eleven PM. And as someone who used
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: to cover council meetings, that sort of thing is the
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: bane of my existence. Of course, things continued to get worse,
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: to the point where people have been ejected multiple times tonight.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Here is the mayor pulling the crowd up, going to.
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: Do and I not care as to whether you feel
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: uncomfortable about my existence or presence. Just pardon me a minute,
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: I will, I will.
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: I will eject more people if they yell while speakers
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: are speaking.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: If you cannot sit in silence, I ask you to
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: leave now.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: All this over a book. But I think it got
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: a bit crazier than that, didn't it, Liz Oh.
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: This guy who had his moment on the floor took
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: things to a whole another level.
• 2:59
  Speaker 7: Location of this book ban and what it says to
• 3:02
  Speaker 7: those two and a half thousand people is that you're
• 3:03
  Speaker 7: not welcome in this electorate, you're not welcome in these suburbs,
• 3:06
  Speaker 7: and you don't deserve to exist in public life, just
• 3:08
  Speaker 7: as anyone else does in this council. And the implication
• 3:12
  Speaker 7: of that is that children will can kill themselves because
• 3:15
  Speaker 7: of you, Yes.
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: Miss, In my humble opinion, all this goes to show
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: is just how militant certain people are about indoctrinating other
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: people's children. They had to have the police riot squad
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: stand between the two groups represented there tonight, obviously because
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: the Cumberland Councilor had residents come out in force to
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: support the good riddance to such a book, while others,
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: as we've seen represented there on the floor of the
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: chamber had showed up to rail against said banning.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: We should point out that Steve Christo, one of the
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: councilors there who has led the protest against this book.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: His primary objection was that the book was in the
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: children's section. He'd be quite happy if it was moved
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: to the adult section, but those who want the ban
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: overturned are demanding its state in the junior.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Non fiction section.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Steve Christouo told the council meeting tonight that he has
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: received multiple death threats both for him and his family.
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: Oh lovely people, Let's let them give books to children and.
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Meanwhile, Deputy Mayor Ola Hammad she accused Steve christou of
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: being hateful and divisive and using this issue for cheap
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: political points scoring ahead of the September council elections.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: It's amazing, isn't it that we are at the point
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: where councils are being bogged down with this kind of thing,
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: like you know, the decision was made. I had some
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: reservations about it. A big deal go to another library.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: There are so many libraries across Sydney. I mean, I'm
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: sure the people of Cumberland are not sort of, you know,
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: corralled into only being in the Shire of Cumberland all
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: the time. They could drive a couple of kilometers over
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: the border and go to another library and borrow any
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: book to their hearts.
• 5:04
  Speaker 8: Well, just order it online.
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: It's just same sex parents and you want to get
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: that book for your child, it is readily available to you.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Ros Craig Kelly, former One Nation member, he spoke tonight
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: and he's quoting JFKA talking about a parent's right to
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: educate their children as they said. Fit Eddie sarkis so
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: I think used to be a council member at Cumberland.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: He talked about the fact that he's read the book.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: He said, I read the book. I thought it was fine,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: but as a Catholic person, I would be incredibly uncomfortable
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: having to explain it to my children.
• 5:36
  Speaker 8: Exactly.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't want.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Anyone else to have to do that. If it was
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: put in the adult section, no problem at all. My
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: objection is why does it have to be in the
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: children's section. I think that's pretty reasonable.
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: Oh, it's completely reasonable, and that's all these parents.
• 5:50
  Speaker 8: Are protesting for.
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: That's why they asked these counselors please do ban it.
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: This is not something that we want our kids exposed to.
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: That creates a lot of questions in the minds of
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: little people.
• 6:03
  Speaker 8: Where'd the baby come from?
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: If there's two daddies as is depicted in the book.
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: Does this mean I'm going to be with a man
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: when I grow up? Or will I be with a
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: woman when I grow up? All the kinds of questions
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: that children simply don't need to be entertaining at their age.
• 6:18
  Speaker 8: It's as simple as that.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: And of course the original motion passed six ' five tonight.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: All eight labor counselors are in attendance, so it seems
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: like a foregone conclusion that the recision.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Motion will pass.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: But of course, if we hear anything about that before
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: eleven pm, we will let you know.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Let's move on to other.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: Issues now, our Prime Minister Anthony ALBANIZI we know he
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: tells us all the time.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: I mean it's a bit like, you know, how do
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: you know someone is a vegan. They tell you right.
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: Anthony Albanizi tells us all the time how he grew
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: up in public housing with a single mother. It was
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: a hard live, et cetera, et cetera. Life is a
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: little easier for the Prime Minister these days. He has
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: multiple properties, including of course investment properties. And in the
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: Fed budget last night we heard all the great work
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: that the federal government is going to do for renters.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: They're going to get a ten percent increase in rental
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: assistance to.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Make life that little bit easier.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: We're going to be building more houses so there are
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: more houses for people to rent. But one of the
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: people renting a house owned by the Prime Minister received
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: notification today from his property manager that he is being
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: evicted by the Prime Minister because the Prime Minister has
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: seen fit to pack up and sell the property. Now,
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: mister Albinizi says this is because he's sort of simplifying
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: his finances, getting things in order as he gets ready
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: to marry his partner, Jody Hayden. And of course he
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: is well within his rights to sell his property. It
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: is his property to do with as he sees fit.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: But it is a little bit funny, isn't it not
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: to see him who goes.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: On and on about what a terrible hard life he
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: had as a.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: Kid now having to get rid of a renter. The
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: poor Todden non people is trying to help on the
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: night that he delivers the budget.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: And of course his tenant is a labor voter who
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: really likes Albanezi as Prime Minister.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: I just thought so much as landlord.
• 8:13
  Speaker 9: So disruptive when you get in the viction notice. I
• 8:16
  Speaker 9: know all landowners are entitled to do that, it just
• 8:19
  Speaker 9: reaks absolute havoc.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: At the moment, you know, we're dealing with.
• 8:23
  Speaker 9: Cost of living Crisis's probably the worst rental crisis certainly
• 8:27
  Speaker 9: ever I can remember in Sydney. We've got a massive
• 8:30
  Speaker 9: shortage of properties and options are pretty limited for enters
• 8:34
  Speaker 9: currently in Sydney. And look, full disclosure, how there's been
• 8:37
  Speaker 9: a really good landlord. I like albow I noted for
• 8:39
  Speaker 9: him in the last election. I'm supportive of a lot
• 8:43
  Speaker 9: of the things that he does. I'm very confused by this.
• 8:47
  Speaker 9: As a labor voter, I'm a little confused as well.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: It just doesn't seem aligned.
• 8:52
  Speaker 9: With the information that's come out in budget week. Clearly
• 8:58
  Speaker 9: there's an emphasis in the labor government on wanting to
• 9:02
  Speaker 9: do what they can to protect and support renters and
• 9:06
  Speaker 9: understand the proper living crisis that we're all going through.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: This doesn't seem fully aligned with that to.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Me, Liz, I can understand the guy's confusion. He's trying
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: to match Anthony Albanesi. We've got to do something about
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: the housing crisis, Prime Minister with Anthony Albanesi, you're evicted landlord.
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: I think he's trying to conflate Albanesi's amount of compassion
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: he likes to show on the public stage compared.
• 9:36
  Speaker 8: To look, it's a great time to sell.
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: I'm out it, get out, get out. This guy's been
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: given ninety days to get out. Victor tends to have
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: this depiction of someone being booted out their belongings on
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: the sidewalk. He's been on a month to month basis
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: his lease rather for.
• 9:55
  Speaker 8: A long time now, and props.
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: To Albow, he took this guy's lease down to six
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: hundred and eighty bucks a week during COVID and hasn't
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: raised it since. So he has been quite a fair landlord.
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: But to be honest, I can't fault Albaniazi for this,
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: and I actually think it's a bit of a low
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: blow by this guy to leverage the fact that because
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: his landlord's the Prime Minister and his landlord's doing something
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: that quite a few landlords are doing at the moment,
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: because the market is hot, he thinks that he can
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: go on national TV and sell his sob story. We
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: all know the rental market is a blood sport at
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: the moment. Nobody is saying that's an veal ball position
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: to be in, But.
• 10:40
  Speaker 8: That's life, mate.
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: It sounds like he's been a great landlord to date
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: and he's simply divesting of.
• 10:45
  Speaker 8: Some of his assets. I can't fault him for it.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: He's within his rights to do it.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: I suppose it's just the irony of, you know, we've
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: got to do all this work for renters, and he's
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: essentially taking a rental property off of the market, but
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: we don't know who's going to buy it, right and
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: who knows. It could be a foreign investor, it could
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: be someone who goes and moves in there and lives
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: in it, and good on them if they get there
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: a foothold in the property market. I've got to say,
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: though I did When I read the bit about how
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: Albo had dropped his rent to six hundred and eighty
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: during COVID and hadn't adjusted it up since then, I
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: did for a minute think, Gee, I wish Albow was
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: my landlord, because this fella so he's in Dallachill, which
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: is in the inner West of Sydney, and he's been
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: paying six hundred and eighty a week for a three
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: bedroom townhouse, and I pay more than that for a
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: two bedroom townhouse in the Inner West.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: So I'm like, Albo, come and buy my house.
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: Please, have actually had it better than you know, Jim Flanagan.
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: And don't worry because the alban Easy government will give
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: you twenty five bucks a fortnight inner rental assistance, that's
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: if you qualify. And just last night they renewed calls
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: to build one point two million new ho good luck.
• 11:56
  Speaker 8: By mid twenty twenty nine. So don't worry where Jimbo,
• 12:01
  Speaker 8: It's all going to be fine.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: The other curious part of this story is this guy
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: got the notice in the mail that hey, you need
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: to look for somewhere else to live.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: He got it a week ago, but this story.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Comes out today the day after the federal budget.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: So the timing is interesting.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: The letter stayed hidden for a week and today was
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: a good day to bring it out.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: Indeed, it won't be easy under albanezi Is, as I
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: think they say. Anyway, moving on to other issues, let's
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: go over to the UK now. Actually, well, I'm sorry,
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: I'll bring the UK into it, but we'll talk about
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: the Australian angle.
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: First.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: You might have heard about the World Health Organization Pandemic Treaty. Now,
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: the idea is basically that all member states in the
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: UN will sign up to a plan whereby if there
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: were another pandemic, the World Health Organization would have providence
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: over the worldwide response to that. In essence, all nations
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: would respond in the same way. But along with that
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: comes a number of rules about not hoard certain things.
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: You can't keep ppe for yourself. You can't keep certain
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: medications for yourself. You have to make it available to
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: other nations. You also have to make it available to
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: the World Health Organization for free if they want to
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: come and take it. It raises obvious questions about why
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: would you want this global body to have control over
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: you as a sovereign nation. It opens up questions about well,
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: if there was a decision to go into lockdown again,
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: does the World Health Organization then tell all the member
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: states that they must do that we all respond in unison,
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: thus taking away our ability to make our decisions on
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: behalf of our self. Well, yesterday a group of fourteen
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: senators sent off a letter to the federal government saying
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: we need to walk away from our plans to join up.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: We should not sign this and we should not sign
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: it into law. Liberal Senator from South Australia Alexantik. Today
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: the Prime Minister received a letter co signed by a
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: group of fording cross party federal parliamentarians requesting the government
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: walk away from the amendments to the International Health Regulations
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: and the WHO Pandemic Treaty.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: A meeting of the World Health.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: Assembly will commence on the twenty seventh of May, just
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: in a week or two time to vote on these
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: instruments which passed. If passed, will transform sorry the WHO
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: from an advisory body to a supernational health body. Now,
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: the UK, in the last few hours has said that
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: it will not be signing on to the treaty in
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: its current form because it is worried, as we all
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: should be, that it would take away their ability to
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: operate as a sovereign nation.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: And can you blame.
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: Them because when you look at the response of other
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: countries apart from US during COVID, let's say Sweden for instance,
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: where they did what no one else did. Didn't go
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: with the lockdowns, didn't go with the man dates, took
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: a completely different tack and the results they had were identical,
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: if not better in most cases, to every other nation
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: in the world. They did something completely different and it worked.
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: But if the who is able to tell you what
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: to do, you don't have that ability to make that decision.
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: What are the reasons why Sweden did that? And nobody
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: talks about this enough, is because they literally didn't have
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: the power to the government in Sweden has never given
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: themselves the power to enforce mandates of injections on people,
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: to lock down people's businesses, etc.
• 15:37
  Speaker 8: And so on. Power to them.
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: No government should have that much power over millions of
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: free citizens. But you're quite right, they're now laughing all
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: the way to the bank, even with the UK making
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: this Bolshey move. And I must say I'm incredibly impressed.
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: I cannot see Albanezi doing this. I cannot see him
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: pulling out. He has been in locks step with everything
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: the UN has done and it bears mentioning for anyone
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: who's unaware the who the World Health Organization is the
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: UN's health arm, so it's one and the same body. Essentially,
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: he simply hasn't broken rank with them, even when it
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: comes to Israel. Palestine matters, as we saw most painfully
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: over the weekend.
• 16:20
  Speaker 8: And when you look at this government's track.
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: Record, whether it comes to Digital ID which is set
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: to sail through any day now in our parliament, if
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: you look at the Voice referendum, if you look at immigration,
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: their policies on immigration and what they have and haven't
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: done around that, public opinion doesn't mean anything anymore. If
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: this went to a vote, would the Australian people want
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: us to sign up to this World Health Organization treaty?
• 16:47
  Speaker 8: Absolutely not.
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: For the Albanezy government has proved time and time again
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: public opinion counts for Jack. They have an agenda to
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: roll out and they are going to roll it out
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: come May.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: Your point is well made.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: If this went to a vote, there's no way Australians
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: would support handing over our sovereignty to some unelected unrepresentative
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: group based in where Geneva. So we should have a
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: position where we want to cooperate obviously globally if there's
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: a worldwide pandemic, then we would want to cooperate, but
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: not give up our autonomy. But if we were of
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: a mind to give up our autonomy and say we're
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: going to give someone else the authority to tell us
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: what to do in the event of a health emergency.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: The WHO would be the last organization.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, we only have to look back what twenty
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: four to forty eight months ago to see they stuffed
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: up COVID something shocking.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: It was the WHO said COVID.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Is not transmitted to human to human corect so it
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: will be okay. That decision alone probably cost hundreds of thousands,
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: perhaps millions of lives. They have proved they should never
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: be trusted with authority. Sure, give advice, but we shouldn't
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: be beholdened to you. And as you said, when do
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: we get a vote on these things? When do we
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: decide who's in charge rather than have our politicians just
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: sell us out.
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: Well, the World Health Organization with the biggest bunch of
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: flip floppers during COVID you've ever seen. They started out
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: by buying into what China had told them, just unquestioningly,
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: and as you said, indeed had they just declared that,
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: you know, there was no evidence of transmission from humans,
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: even though at that time, I mean, China was well
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: aware of what was going on in their own country
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: and they were taking for cooks who.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Spent more time trying to rename COVID, so it had
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: no connection at all with China or correct than they
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: did actually trying to keep people.
• 18:30
  Speaker 8: And then.
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: And then the World Health Organization said in the early
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: stages of COVID that it did not recommend mask use
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: because it thought mask use would lead to complacency. Then
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: of course it changed its mind on that and decided
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: that everyone should be wearing masks. They made it up
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: on the hop and we want these people in.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Charge of our response.
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: I thought the one lesson we learned from COVID, if
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: nothing else, was that sovereignty is sacrisanct, because we realized
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: very quickly when we were removed from the rest of
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: the world exactly how reliant we had to be on
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: ourselves in the position we found ourselves in because we
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: ran out of things, We didn't have stuff we're not.
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: Hang on a minute, we better sort that out. And
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: now we're going straight back to old ways. Yeah, le's centralized.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: The other thing is with this Pandemic treaty is I
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: understand it. The first draft included the ability for the
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: WHO to implement vaccine mandates and lockdowns on countries around
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: the world. Now I think that's been taken out because
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: that was probably a bridge too far at this point.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: But it gives you an idea as.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: To the aspirations of our global overlords. If that's what
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: they want, we're not going to give up on it.
• 19:38
  Speaker 8: Up that is their intention. Now they'll take a water
• 19:41
  Speaker 8: down version to start with.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: Correct, But we.
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: All know that's how every bill makes its way through
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: their respective parliaments. It starts with a few amendments to
• 19:51
  Speaker 6: get it over the line. Then everyone's happy, so we'll
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: sign up to it. Okay, Now it becomes law, and
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: then further amendments are made down the track as and
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: when they see fit. And what is really troubling about
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: these things that our supposedly sovereign countries sign up to.
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: They're seeding their sovereignty. And because it's not in parliament,
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: most people aren't.
• 20:15
  Speaker 8: Aware of it at all.
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: The everyday Australian doesn't know the first thing about this
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: pandemic treaty and what our government is agreeing to by
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: signing up to it.
• 20:26
  Speaker 8: It's so nefarious it does one's head in well.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: Last week federal government ministers were in Rockhampton slapping people
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: on the back for a beef week and talking about
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: how greatly they're supporting our agricultural sector. This week, Murray,
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: what our agricultural minister was telling West Australian farmers that
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: the live sheep export trade will end by May twenty
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: twenty eight. The government are going to spend one hundred
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: and seven million dollars to help the sheep industry transition
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: away from live exports. Matt Canavan pointed out that was
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: the biggest budget allocation for the agricultural sector.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: Here's what he tweeted.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Farmers walk out in fact will show you have a
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: look at the vision first.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: I should have shown you this first. Here's the meeting, Murray.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: What our agricultural minister he's speaking to West Australian farmers
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: in a meeting they're selling the budget to them and
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: half of them get up and walk out in the
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: middle of his speech. Matt Canavan tweeted farmers walk out
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: on Murray what's post budget speech over government's plans to
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: shut down the sheep industry, export, live export industry. The
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: biggest allocation of youth spending on agriculture and the budget
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: was to shut down a whole agricultural industry.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: It's a great point.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: The biggest budgetary allocation was not to expand farming, not
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: to make farming easier, not to increase our agricultural sector.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: It was actually to close down a massive part of
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: our trade and cuit the beneficiaries of most of our
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: live sheep exports. They are pleading for the government to
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: leave this open and you have the irony that this
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: is being done in the name of animal welfare. But
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: as the Kuwaitis themselves pointed out, they're going to source
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: sheep from some Precisely, Australian farmers have been working since
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: twenty eighteen when concerns were first raised to improve the industry,
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: to make things better, to improve the ships, put vets
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: on ships, to make sure the sheep are healthy. It's
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: in the interests of farmers to make sure the sheep
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: arrive alive and healthy. They're no value dead when they
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: get to the Middle East. So for the last what
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: six years, they've been improving the industry. Surely a better
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: way is to look at the improvement say this is
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: world best standard. Of course they're not going to get
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: better sheep from anywhere else, or sheep that are better
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: cared for keep the industry going. But instead the government
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: have buckled to a bunch of animal activists in cities
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: pretending to know how farmers should run their industry.
• 22:50
  Speaker 8: No, it's not the animal activists.
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: It's us deciding that we are the moral arbiters of
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: the world, right or will you can't possibly have live
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: sheep because you won't slaughter in a way that we
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: deem acceptable. Right, But as you point out, they're going
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: to get the meat from somewhere, and the sheep that
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: are sent overseas are not the kind of sheep that
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: we would be eating here in Australia.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: They're not lamb they're cross bred.
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: It's not stuff that you would buy at a supermarket
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: or a butcher in Australia. So there's no other market
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: for it, but overseas it is specifically for that market.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: And if you don't get it from Australia.
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: You're going to get it from a country where it's
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: not treated as well as it is here. Surely you
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: get a better animal welfare outcome by selling Australian meat overseas.
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: And the blockheads at the RSPCA who commissioned a survey
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: of sixteen hundred people that found that most Western Australians
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: apparently want to get rid of the.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: Live sheep trade.
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: What do they think happens when you get rid of
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: the live sheep trade? Every single one of those sheep,
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: unless there's a market for them somewhere else.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Is going to have a bullet put in its seat.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: That's how it works.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: So you'd rather the animal go to waste then actually
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: serve a genuine purpose to people who want to eat it.
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: It's the same as they say, oh we should ban racing.
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, what do you reckon is going to happen
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: to all the horses and the dogs when you're ban racing.
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: They can't all be rehomed. They have a bullet put
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: in their head. If you want animals to die, then
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: ban the live sheep trade.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: That's the way to go.
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: For crying out loud, this has nothing to do with
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: animal cruelty, like, where have you guys been. This is
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: another UN agenda and we've seen it play out across
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: the West time and time again. The farmers that were
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: protesting in Germany, in the Netherlands, in Ireland. We have
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: seen this across the West. They were barricading highways, they
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: were shutting down airports.
• 24:46
  Speaker 8: None of this was on the mainstream media. Of course.
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: The war on farmers has been raging for a very
• 24:52
  Speaker 6: long time, and it looks different in every single country.
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: They came up with very creative excuses to do it.
• 25:01
  Speaker 8: This is ours, This is ours.
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: The war on farmers is raging, whether it's the compulsory
• 25:07
  Speaker 6: acquisition of land for the green dream. But the UN
• 25:10
  Speaker 6: has preached for many years now again we must all
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: bow to this climate change communism that the agriculture industry
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: is the single most damaging industry on the face of
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: the planet. So that's our food supply goodbye. That's why
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: we joke about But they're dead serious.
• 25:31
  Speaker 8: Gotta eat bugs, got to move to plant base. That
• 25:34
  Speaker 8: is what this real agenda is about.
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: It's not like, oh, we care so much about sheep
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: who have brains the size of peas.
• 25:44
  Speaker 8: They're on a boat going to the middle. It's got
• 25:47
  Speaker 8: nothing to do with that.
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: It is another artful way to drive another peg in
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: the coffin that is our farmers in this country, because
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: that is the way this government has treated them. I
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: grew up up in rural Victoria, a little town called Kayabrum,
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: and I still speak to many of my farming folk
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: friends and they said, there has not been a single
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: Australian government that has ever done worse by farmers than
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: their Albanesi government.
• 26:14
  Speaker 8: This is just.
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: Another policy, another great idea, but it is nothing to
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: do with animal cruelty, everything.
• 26:21
  Speaker 8: To do with this massive greening agenda.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: That the RSPCA are just minions of the United Nations
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: or the RSPCA unaware idiots.
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: Of course, the government's going to point to that as.
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: A reason genuine concerns.
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: What government actually concerns about. The cares about the feelings
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: of sheep over anything. If you fight that is worth billions, you've.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: Got marginal seats, if you worried about an economy.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: If you've got marginal seats where you're worried about Green's
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: candidates and you're anti Albanzi, you probably are not a whole.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: Lot of people are going to vote in favor of.
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: Let's go to New York now, where Mayor Eric Adams
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: has said, Look, we've got all these tens of thousands
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: illegal immigrants that we're putting up on the taxpayer dime.
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: I've come up with a use for them, because, of
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: course a lot of them have to cross th Rieo
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: grand to get here from Mexico. Of course, a lot
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: of them aren't from Mexico, They're from overseas.
• 27:20
  Speaker 8: But that's how they get in. Here's his solution for
• 27:24
  Speaker 8: jobs a state.
• 27:27
  Speaker 10: Those jobs that we are in high demand, we could expedate.
• 27:35
  Speaker 10: How do we have a large body of people that
• 27:38
  Speaker 10: are in our city and country that are excellent swimmers
• 27:43
  Speaker 10: and at the same time we need lifeguards and the
• 27:46
  Speaker 10: only obstacle is that we won't give them the right
• 27:49
  Speaker 10: to rope to become a lifeguard.
• 27:51
  Speaker 6: With a straight face, Well, these guys are excellent swimmers.
• 27:55
  Speaker 8: That's how they made it here. Lifeguards, lifeguards for one
• 28:00
  Speaker 8: and all.
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: I'm sure the beaches of New York I don't know
• 28:03
  Speaker 6: that they have that.
• 28:04
  Speaker 8: Many are going to be thrilled.
• 28:06
  Speaker 6: Maybe just public pools, et cetera.
• 28:09
  Speaker 8: Lifeguards one and all.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: If you can illegally wait across the Rio Grand that
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: automatically qualifies you to get a troll the pool in
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: New York and save lives. Next, he is going to
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: argue that many of them should be pharmacists because some
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: of them have been dealing infentanyl.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: As they came to America. I mean, you know, what's
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: what's next?
• 28:29
  Speaker 8: True?
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: But I mean, what are you going to have to
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: learn Spanish in order to be able to go down
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: and go for a swim?
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: Now, if you actually want to.
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: Know what the lifeguards are saying to you, these Mexicans,
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: they're trying to tell you.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: What do to get out of the water. Get out
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: of the water, like not comfidhend there. I don't know
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: what they're saying. What are you going to do?
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: He blames the bureaucracy for the fact that these people
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: can't work. It's not the bureaucracy, it's the fact they're illegal.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: Audience there, they're they're unlawfully That's why they can't work.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: Oh, incredibles, cious keeps going crazy.
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: Indeed, let's move on to the US now, where Secretary
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: of State Anthony Blincoln has been over in Ukraine, where
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: he popped up in a barn. Now, of course, we
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: know we keep talking about the war going on between
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: Israel and Hamas, but there is still a war going
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: on between Russia and Ukraine. So mister Blincoln has taken
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: a trip over there, and well it came under fire
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: for let's say, freelancing in the evening, going to an
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: underground bar where he took the microphone and started singing.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: Now the song is rockin in the Free World.
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: And he got up and gave a spiel about how
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: it was for Ukraine and then started singing. I'm sure
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: that is of great consequence to people in Ukraine suffering
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: through the war.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: You've got Anthony Blincoln there sing in a bar for you.
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: It does make a bit of a mockery of the
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: whole thing, doesn't like you know, I have no problem
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: with a politician having some fun.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: They can't just be drones all the time.
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: But come on, but Lincoln knows better than anyone that
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: it is a mockery. I would argue, he knows better
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: than anyone that this is a proxy war. He knows
• 30:21
  Speaker 6: NATO have broken every promise to Russia that they've ever made.
• 30:24
  Speaker 8: Since not an inch. Eastwood to Gorbachev in nineteen ninety.
• 30:28
  Speaker 8: He knows that December twenty.
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: One, America was sent to draft agreement security agreement from
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: Russia saying, hey, these are our stipulations, but if you
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: if you touch Ukraine, it's on like donkey Kong. And
• 30:43
  Speaker 6: he knows, he's the Secretary of State that America was like, well,
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: war it is. He also knows that straight after that
• 30:50
  Speaker 6: war broke out, when Zelensky said, oh, hang on a minute,
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: hang on a minute, we can be neutral, We can
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: be neutral, and the negotiation started. If Talie Bennett was involved,
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: Turkish negotiators flew in.
• 31:03
  Speaker 8: It was all happening.
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: Yay, it was going to be over as soon as
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: it started. Who called an end to those negotiations the US?
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: And who is arguably on every metric buying that country
• 31:15
  Speaker 6: right out underneath the Ukrainians, the US. What is this
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: war about, I would argue, and many people with eyes
• 31:21
  Speaker 6: in their heads can see it.
• 31:22
  Speaker 8: It is about US vested interests.
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: When has the US ever spent one hundred and seventy
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: five billion dollars that's how much they've sent to Ukraine
• 31:33
  Speaker 6: to date on any other European country, unless we're talking
• 31:37
  Speaker 6: post World War two and rebuilding the place. The thing
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: that makes me if this doesn't strike you as sus,
• 31:43
  Speaker 6: I don't know what is.
• 31:44
  Speaker 8: So of course he's just in a bar being like
• 31:46
  Speaker 8: rocking in the free world.
• 31:48
  Speaker 6: This whole entire thing is a joke, and it's going
• 31:50
  Speaker 6: exactly according to plan of the US.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: The thing that strikes me as sus is Blincoln was
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: there to distribute ninety billion dollars worth of aid and
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: also ostensibly to improve morale. I'm not sure why you
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: would send Blincoln warbling Neil young Old raise morale.
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: If you could kill Russians with cringe. I mean, he's
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: found a weapon of mass destruction.
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: Once upon a time, troops got a performance from Marilyn Monroe,
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: and that would really lift your morale, wouldn't it.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: Now in Ukraine they get Anthony Blincoln. I mean that
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: is enough to make you want to go and fight
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: for Rata, Almost, isn't it.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: We're talking about lifting morale or not.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure whether Prince Charles was impressed or depressed
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: by his portrait. The first official portrait of King Charles
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: since his coronation was released today.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: It has met with indifference. No, it hasn't met with.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: Indifferences just hated. Have a look, We'll show you the
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: unveiling and you can see what you think. Drink artist
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: Jonathan Yoe took three years to paint that. He said
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: it evolved as he progressed with all of the advisors
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: in the royal family and with all of the controversy
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: over the history of the Commonwealth and its role, England's
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: role and colonization.
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: Why would you produce a portrait of a blood soaked monarch.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: It's not smart.
• 33:25
  Speaker 6: The artist literally said that, above all else, he wanted
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: to communicate the monarch's deep humanity by depicting him bathed
• 33:34
  Speaker 6: in blood holding a sword which you may have noticed.
• 33:37
  Speaker 8: There, but with a butterfly landing on his shoulder.
• 33:41
  Speaker 6: I'm not sure whether it's flames or blood, but good grief,
• 33:44
  Speaker 6: it looks like Darth Maul from the Star Wars series,
• 33:48
  Speaker 6: except he hasn't got the black and red checked face.
• 33:52
  Speaker 8: I mean, what on earth?
• 33:54
  Speaker 6: And the fact that this is his very first portrait
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: as monarch.
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: Is I'm sure it won't be his last because that
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: do not hang that in the gallery, Gertrue. It's like
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: he's peering at us through the depths of hell.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: I'd be commissioning another one.
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: I don't think there's much doubt about that that I'm
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: The only explanation I can come up with for that
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: is that they had a sale on red oil paints
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: down at the.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: Local art shop.
• 34:21
  Speaker 8: The artist has.
• 34:22
  Speaker 6: Decided to let everyone know his true thoughts on in
• 34:26
  Speaker 6: a very you know, under under the under the table
• 34:30
  Speaker 6: type of plane.
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: That's what that's one portrait of the anti colonists will.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: Not be tearing down over the days of beautiful art.
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: Hey look, I mean it's marginally better than most modern art,
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: but only marginally. Speaking of art, let's go to Dublin
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: where a local artist came up with this idea that
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: they would install It's not art in a typical sense
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: sort of painting, but they decided that they would install
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: what they could a portal.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: Now there's one in Dublin, and there's one in New York.
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: And the idea is put a camera in it and
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: a big screen, as you can see there, So you
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: stand in front of the portal in whichever city you're in,
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: and you can see all the other people standing in
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: front of the portal in the other city. And there's
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: been you know, heartfelt moments of you know, family in
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: Dublin and family in New York walking up to this
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: thing and they get to see each other and wave
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: at each other, and it's a window into another city.
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: But you know, who would have predicted that things would
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: go wrong when you have a great, big screen live
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: streaming from the other side of the world anything you
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: damn wan at any damn time of the day.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: Including wait for it, a man mooning.
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: I mean, these are the people of Dublin, for heaven's sake,
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: what do you think was going to happen after they've
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: sunk a few pints againnis and gone down to this
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: portal And it got even better? One woman, Well you
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: can work it at me yourself.
• 36:11
  Speaker 8: It got even better.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: Well, if you're on the other side, it got better.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: It got even better.
• 36:16
  Speaker 8: Okay, little bottle.
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: The other night you suggested that in order to not
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: get peened by these mobile phone cameras, that you should
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: wear a mini skirt.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's a brilliant idea.
• 36:29
  Speaker 11: That was a brilliant and the authorities had to apologize
• 36:32
  Speaker 11: for being creepers just because she was wearing a mini skirt.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: The authorities didn't believe it got better because they've closed
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: it down until they can work out a way to
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: stop bad behavior. I must say it wasn't just people
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: exposing themselves, but people in Ireland were holding up their
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: mobile phones showing footage of the nine to eleven terror attacks,
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: as if somehow that would encourage their New York friends.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: The Lithuanian artists who came up with this idea and portal,
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: they're really just glorified webcams. Yeah, but he said the
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: idea was to help people embrace the beauty of global connectedness.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: And global connectedness through breasts. Fantastic.
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: We're going to go to a break.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: When we come back, look at what's making news tomorrow,
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: including more curfews in the Northern Territory that's up in
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: a moment.
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: All right, welcome back. Let's look at what's making news
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: in the papers tomorrow.
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: Of course, the big news out of the budget, Caleb,
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: was that three hundred dollars energy rebate.
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: But not everyone wants it.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: No funny about that. Some people don't want extra money.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: Don't know who they are, well about to tell you,
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: certainly not me anyway, Billionaire budget backlash over bill bonus.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: We don't want three hundred dollars. Liz, can you give
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: us a musical rendition of that headline?
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: Go on, do it?
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: You can sing what you know? Now you want me
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: to sing it.
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: She was in the meeting early, so we have a
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: meeting every night, decide what do we do? In the
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: front pages in and Liz started singing, now's your chance.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: They scale very poor. Come on, do it?
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: Do it?
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: Give it?
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: Tell me worse than Anthony Blincoln.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: So give it to it.
• 38:00
  Speaker 9: Go on the producer.
• 38:02
  Speaker 11: She shoves out all the words of got it was
• 38:04
  Speaker 11: just like, we don't need no three hundred bucks, Like
• 38:07
  Speaker 11: it doesn't even fit.
• 38:08
  Speaker 8: But thanks for bringing that up, Caleb, and thanks for
• 38:10
  Speaker 8: the groovy den.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: Anyway, there we go. Let's move back to the story,
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: shall we.
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: Australian rich listers have blasted the Albanezy government for handing
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: them three hundred dollars in energy bill relief, with prominent
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: businessman Dick Smith vowing to donate the federal budget hand
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: out to charity. Now, look, I mean Dick Smith has
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: a bit more than three hundred dollars. He could probably
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: donate more than three hundred dollars if he wanted. But
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: it is good at pointing out the absurdity of this
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: that it is not means tested. Every single person in
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: the country, millions in the bank, billions in the bank.
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: You know, Anthony prapped, Twiggy Forrest, They're all getting their
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: three hundred dollars. And the reason they've done it, and
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: I heard it suggested today it was, you know, it
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: was policy on the hop That's why there was no
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: means testing. The real reason there's no means testing is
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: the reason they have done this is to try and
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: reduce the cost of power when inflation is accounted for.
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: And of course, if you're trying to reduce the headline
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: number of inflation, if you start means testing who you
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: give the three hundred dollars to, it reduces the ability
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: to drop that inflation number. That's what it's all about.
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: It's all about diddling inflation figures. Even though it's not
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: actually inflationary, it could have some effect on the headline
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: number when the boffins are drawing up the totals of
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: what power costs have contributed to the rate of inflation.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: That's why there's no means testing on this.
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: It's two things I thought when I saw this story.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: Firstly, if you're a charity and you get a phone
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: call saying, look, I'm ringing on behalf of Dick Smith.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: He would like to donate money to your organization.
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, you'd think it was Christmas.
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: You'd be thinking, right, we're going to employ more staff,
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: we're going to build buildings, we're going to change the world, and.
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: Then you get to check for three hundred bucks bus.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: The other thing I thought is, you know, billionaires are
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: the most demonized people in Australia at the moment. I mean,
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: the Green's always every problem is the billion We're going
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: to solve every problem by taking money off the billionaires.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: So I could imagine why if you did have a
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: lot of money, you'd be feeling a bit silly getting
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: this three hundred dollars and you'd feel like you're the problem,
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: which you're not, but it's politically convenient for people to
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: make you the problem.
• 40:15
  Speaker 6: I don't think millionaires are that concern to be honest
• 40:18
  Speaker 6: or feel really bad.
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: I just wouldn't worry all the time.
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: Let's go to the front page of the Northern Territory
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: News where the Police Commissioner is about to get special
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: powers territory curfew. Call reads the headline standalone curfew laws
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: we introduced in the Northern Territory to allow more lockdowns,
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: more flexibility at the discretion of the Police Commissioner. So
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: these new laws would allow the Police commissioner he wouldn't
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: It wouldn't be a political decision. It will be purely
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: a policing decision. Having seen the curfew's work in our springs,
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: will allow those powers to be at the Police Commissioner's
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: discretion right throughout the territory.
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: I guess.
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, personally I have a problem with police just
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: declaring curfews, but it shows you how bad the situation
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: is in Northern Territory that politicians across both sides of
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: Parliament are willing to countenance.
• 41:09
  Speaker 8: This one hundred percent.
• 41:11
  Speaker 6: And they've just seen the success of the curfew that
• 41:13
  Speaker 6: was called, although that was only for two weeks and gone.
• 41:18
  Speaker 6: Actually that really helped us out. They also know that
• 41:21
  Speaker 6: they're outmanned the cops in the Northern Territory. They're struggling
• 41:24
  Speaker 6: to stay on top of everything, and if that is
• 41:27
  Speaker 6: a mechanism that they themselves can trigger, then it really
• 41:31
  Speaker 6: helps them keep these situations under control when they're just
• 41:34
  Speaker 6: spiraling out of control.
• 41:36
  Speaker 8: So it makes perfect sense should out.
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: It's got to be signed off by the police minister.
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: But it's not instigated by the police ministers, instigated by
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: the commissioner.
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: But that being the case, why can't you just have
• 41:48
  Speaker 4: the police commissioner go to the police minister or the
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: state government or not the state territory government in this case,
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: and say we believe.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: There should be a curfew.
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: It's a decision of the government to make because I
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: have a fundamental problem without sourcing decision making to the bureaucrats,
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: because we elect politicians to make moral decisions on behalf
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: of us.
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: So do we give it all to the bureaucrats?
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: Is what happened during COVID. We let all the health
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: hemocrats make all the decisions.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: We let the police commissioners run states.
• 42:18
  Speaker 6: At least in this regard, the cops are far more
• 42:22
  Speaker 6: in tune with what is happening on the crown. The
• 42:24
  Speaker 6: bureaucrats have never seen what these shut on a nightly basis,
• 42:31
  Speaker 6: and the state where the rubber hits the road, the
• 42:34
  Speaker 6: state of the these riots that.
• 42:37
  Speaker 8: Are occurring, the gangs that are warring.
• 42:40
  Speaker 6: So I think, if anything, it's a smart call by
• 42:44
  Speaker 6: the government in this instance, because the commissioner knows when
• 42:49
  Speaker 6: this needs to be triggered. The bureaucrats are sitting at
• 42:52
  Speaker 6: home and they're really well, they're on.
• 42:53
  Speaker 8: Their six figure salaries, they're doing very well.
• 42:56
  Speaker 6: I'm sure they live in really nice homes and probably
• 42:58
  Speaker 6: the nicer areas of town.
• 43:01
  Speaker 8: Why should it be their call?
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: And ultimately the government is because the government has to
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: sign off on it. So if it was a completely
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: ridiculous decision that everyone was outraged about, well you can
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: vote someone out, you vote out the government, tool.
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: Sure, and that's the purpose of the politicians making the decision.
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: We did have police commission as effectively running states in
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: this country during COVID, and that made me extremely uncomfortable.
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: We had literal police.
• 43:25
  Speaker 8: Yes, but this is a very.
• 43:26
  Speaker 6: Different situation and the bureaucrats still have to sign off
• 43:29
  Speaker 6: on it, which is they're still making the final.
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: There's the accountability why.
• 43:34
  Speaker 6: I don't think that argument quite stands up to the
• 43:36
  Speaker 6: front page of the Canberra Times.
• 43:38
  Speaker 8: Now A and U protest ultimatum. Well, it's about time.
• 43:42
  Speaker 6: The a and U has told students at the pro
• 43:45
  Speaker 6: Palestine camp on the campus to clear their tents by
• 43:48
  Speaker 6: Friday or face disciplinary action. According to the University Staff Union. Well, finally,
• 43:56
  Speaker 6: it seems like now that Deacon has done this clearing
• 44:00
  Speaker 6: out their protesters their tens, perhaps they were the first
• 44:04
  Speaker 6: domino to fall. We're now seeing a and you take
• 44:08
  Speaker 6: similar action on the same day we're seeing Melbourne UNI.
• 44:12
  Speaker 6: They've actually set their tents stuff inside, so it's not
• 44:16
  Speaker 6: just in the UNI campus, it's inside a building on campus.
• 44:23
  Speaker 6: I think this is a great move, and the more
• 44:25
  Speaker 6: unis that do it, the more will follow.
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: I can't give them a single shred of credit. They
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: should have done it two weeks ago. I mean, this
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: is week This is weakest piss at this point in
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: the piece to say, oh, maybe you should move on
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: now they've already shown their true colors.
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: They did nothing to stop it.
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: Sure, I mean they ought to be moved on, but
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: I don't think they deserve credit for doing so when
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: they took this damn long to do something about it.
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: This is just oh, well, you know, it's gone on
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: for a bit long. Now it's disrupted.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: It's a bit much.
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: We should do nothing to do with anti semitism. It's
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: literally just the unis going off. We're jack of it now,
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: can you just shove off?
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: Funny thing about this story is the unit called for
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: a meeting with students on Monday and the students just
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: refused to show up.
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: But the students decided they would have a meeting on Wednesday.
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: So even in this it's a massive power play where
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: the university students are asserting the fact that we run
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: this place, not the administration, not the faculty.
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: And we've seen what's happened in America. They should have
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: shut this.
• 45:25
  Speaker 4: Down, all right, So we need a solution, right and
• 45:27
  Speaker 4: we know that the solution to everything is a review,
• 45:30
  Speaker 4: and that's exactly what you're going to get on the
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: front of the Australian tomorrow. It's his ALP's answer to
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: anti Semitism, a two year study. Towis groups are demanding
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: a judicial probe into anti Semitism and universities after the
• 45:44
  Speaker 4: Albanese government watered down its promised inquiry into racism. You're
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: now going to have the Human Rights Commission carrying out
