- 0:10Speaker 1: Needs the reform it.
- 0:15Speaker 2: Tonight to pack show a shock judgment in the case
- 0:18Speaker 2: of the two Bankstown nurses filmed allegedly making comments on
- 0:21Speaker 2: their treatment of Israeli patients and multicultural madness some New
- 0:27Speaker 2: South Wales teachers so they won't teach middles students about
- 0:30Speaker 2: the Holocaust or even the diary of Anne Frank. Also
- 0:35Speaker 2: tonight's stunning audio from the National Library exposing the lies
- 0:39Speaker 2: behind the Stolen Generations claims and much more, including Matt Canavan.
- 0:44Speaker 2: But first, there's a gold rule in politics. If you're
- 0:49Speaker 2: under fire, don't blink, say you're say, and don't be
- 0:55Speaker 2: sick ed of saying it. Because today the lying Albanizi
- 0:59Speaker 2: government spotted exactly that weakness and pounce It was ugly.
- 1:04Speaker 2: But it wasn't Pauline Hanson that it jumped on.
- 1:07Speaker 3: No, the One Nation leader.
- 1:09Speaker 2: She didn't take a step back this morning when she
- 1:11Speaker 2: was grilled about her speech last week calling for an
- 1:14Speaker 2: end to multiculturalism and for a monoculture instead, and again
- 1:19Speaker 2: she made clear exactly what I said last night that
- 1:21Speaker 2: she obviously meant we could all celebrate our own cultures.
- 1:25Speaker 2: My clogs are safe. But the government's role was the
- 1:28Speaker 2: Uniteds publicly around.
- 1:30Speaker 4: Just one Nothing would really change, just that we still
- 1:34Speaker 4: have our culture, we still have a laws like do
- 1:38Speaker 4: we really want to see sharia law? Do we want
- 1:40Speaker 4: to see multiple marriages? It's about being united, a strong
- 1:44Speaker 4: under the one culture and everyone be treated the same
- 1:46Speaker 4: under one law. I'm not saying forget where you came
- 1:49Speaker 4: from or your cultural background.
- 1:54Speaker 2: Now, okay, I might have explained that a bit more clearly,
- 1:57Speaker 2: but anyone with brains and honesty would understand what Hanson means.
- 2:03Speaker 2: But today today we saw that labor has no honesty.
- 2:08Speaker 2: And as for the liberals, I'll get to them. Alban Easy,
- 2:12Speaker 2: who has led about so much, laid again about what
- 2:14Speaker 2: Hanson meant.
- 2:16Speaker 5: Modern Australia is not a monoculture. Yesday Sunday I was
- 2:22Speaker 5: an Assyrian function. It was a wonderful function in southwestern Sydney.
- 2:28Speaker 5: You know, should that be allowed to happen?
- 2:33Speaker 3: Albau, don't be so stupid.
- 2:37Speaker 2: Hansen said nothing at all about banning Assyrians from having
- 2:41Speaker 2: a party, and you know it.
- 2:43Speaker 3: But Albaniz, he wasn't done misrepresenting her.
- 2:46Speaker 5: When we look at the Sokkarus, we see examples of
- 2:51Speaker 5: that rich culture. People who are proud of their ethnicity,
- 2:56Speaker 5: of who they are, but also who are proud Australiant.
- 3:02Speaker 2: Now I've dealt with this, this fake, fake counter argument before.
- 3:07Speaker 2: In fact, the soccer is show exactly what Hanson does
- 3:10Speaker 2: want immigrants joining Team Australia. I'll interrupted the Taylor's second
- 3:18Speaker 2: attempt and not answering the question watch and wins.
- 3:23Speaker 3: Do you do support multiculturalism?
- 3:24Speaker 1: Seems like a pretty stroke.
- 3:25Speaker 3: You want to define it for me, busy. I just
- 3:28Speaker 3: wonder if that's a problem for you that you can't know.
- 3:30Speaker 3: We can have people from all over the world, right,
- 3:33Speaker 3: that is not a problem.
- 3:34Speaker 1: We could let me let me finish.
- 3:36Speaker 3: Now you got me going here, so let.
- 3:38Speaker 2: Me have a Let me have a We can have
- 3:40Speaker 2: people from all over the world, of all races and
- 3:42Speaker 2: religions in this country, but they must share those core values.
- 3:51Speaker 2: Didn't want to answer about the monoculture and multiculture. After that,
- 3:56Speaker 2: Alban Easy and Treasure Jim Chambers were off honing in
- 3:59Speaker 2: on the weakness. Taylor revealed, being too scared to disagree
- 4:01Speaker 2: with Hanson on a monoculture, but also too scared of
- 4:04Speaker 2: the liberal left to agree the current.
- 4:07Speaker 5: Leader of the opposition that when asked a question about
- 4:12Speaker 5: monoculturalism four times, couldn't give an answer.
- 4:16Speaker 3: This side of the House recognizes in Australian.
- 4:19Speaker 6: Values the vast and important contribution made by multicultural Australian This.
- 4:25Speaker 3: Districa not for this side of the House.
- 4:28Speaker 6: This rubbish playing foot sea with the monocultural language being
- 4:33Speaker 6: pushed around by the One Nation Party?
- 4:38Speaker 2: Where's the new Mensis of the Liberals? Too calmly, intelligently
- 4:43Speaker 2: and with authority, ran that nonsense right back down. Labour's
- 4:48Speaker 2: laying throat that this is about creating one people out
- 4:55Speaker 2: of multitribes. What Hanson is saying is not about disrespect
- 5:00Speaker 2: people of the countless cultures of Australia, including my own.
- 5:03Speaker 2: This is about building one culture that unites us all.
- 5:08Speaker 2: And at a time when it seems we're falling apart. Well,
- 5:12Speaker 2: the politicians in charge just gibber and hoot. Joining me
- 5:21Speaker 2: is our Tuesday regular Senator Matt Canavan, now the leader
- 5:25Speaker 2: of the Nationals. Matt, you have an Italian background, I
- 5:28Speaker 2: have Dutch. But shouldn't government policy be do strengthen a
- 5:32Speaker 2: monoculture that unites us all?
- 5:36Speaker 7: Look Andrew, I don't like the word monoculture. I'd never
- 5:39Speaker 7: heard of it before really until last week. And there's
- 5:42Speaker 7: a bit of Pauline's interview you didn't play before. She
- 5:45Speaker 7: said that she wants Australia to become like Japan. Well,
- 5:48Speaker 7: I don't want Astraya to become like Japan. I want
- 5:50Speaker 7: Astraya to be like Australia. We're not in the same
- 5:53Speaker 7: if that's what she means by the word monoculture. We're
- 5:55Speaker 7: not like Japan. The very strict enforcement of a single
- 5:59Speaker 7: culture in Japan. It's a great country. I love going
- 6:02Speaker 7: there and good luck to the Japanese. But that's not
- 6:04Speaker 7: who we are. We prefer to say what we should have.
- 6:08Speaker 7: What we should have is a common culture, a common
- 6:11Speaker 7: culture that unites us all. As you've hinted at in
- 6:14Speaker 7: your editorial, we do come from different cultural backgrounds, and
- 6:18Speaker 7: Pauline herself so that today, so we have a form
- 6:21Speaker 7: of multiculturalism.
- 6:22Speaker 1: Now, I also agree that that word's been.
- 6:24Speaker 7: Hijacked, unfortunately by the left, and weaponized to mean something
- 6:28Speaker 7: it never was intended. I think when the concept began
- 6:31Speaker 7: perhaps a few generations ago. So I've got no problem
- 6:35Speaker 7: people celebrating their diverse cultural activities and practices. It's a
- 6:39Speaker 7: wonderful part of our culture, our country. But what we
- 6:43Speaker 7: do need is a common culture. And there is no
- 6:45Speaker 7: doubt that the concept of multiculturalism has been abused by
- 6:49Speaker 7: activists on the left to seek to raise our common culture.
- 6:53Speaker 7: That's what we need to retake and defend. That's what
- 6:56Speaker 7: I support. I don't want to see our country divided.
- 6:59Speaker 7: There are things that in fact, there are more things
- 7:02Speaker 7: in my view that unite us as Australians than the
- 7:05Speaker 7: divide us by the different cultural practice. I mean, for
- 7:08Speaker 7: the Prime Minister to you, so I went to an
- 7:10Speaker 7: a serio in events all great, I mean it is
- 7:12Speaker 7: wonderful to go experience different foods and different ways.
- 7:15Speaker 1: Of doing things.
- 7:16Speaker 7: You know, at a fundamental level, the Prime Minister is
- 7:18Speaker 7: just totally wrong that that's actually not what devis us
- 7:21Speaker 7: as people, because when you go to those sort of events,
- 7:24Speaker 7: what you were marked out almost in almost without fail,
- 7:28Speaker 7: is how family oriented those cultural practices are, how they
- 7:32Speaker 7: all in some different ways, unite a group of people
- 7:37Speaker 7: into a common as I say, common culture, common purpose, and.
- 7:40Speaker 1: That's what we need to recapture.
- 7:42Speaker 7: I'd say one more thing, You've given me a good time,
- 7:44Speaker 7: and I appreciate you not interrupting me. But one more
- 7:46Speaker 7: thing I'd say is perhaps the most poisonous thing to
- 7:50Speaker 7: our common culture, our common values right now is actually
- 7:54Speaker 7: not from outside. So something I don't think Pauline has
- 7:56Speaker 7: made a strong enough point on. It's something much more
- 7:59Speaker 7: insidious and the woke mind virus that is it is
- 8:03Speaker 7: this creation of our own culture, let's say. So it's
- 8:07Speaker 7: not been imposed on us play overseas or are some
- 8:09Speaker 7: other people that inside our own walls is the greatest
- 8:13Speaker 7: threat to our common culture in my view, which we
- 8:16Speaker 7: have to fight back on.
- 8:16Speaker 1: Couldn't agree with You don't have to defeat everywhere it
- 8:19Speaker 1: pops up.
- 8:22Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, we I talked to an author of
- 8:25Speaker 2: the Big History on the origins of multiculturalism in Australia.
- 8:29Speaker 3: He made the same point. It was the left.
- 8:32Speaker 2: Multiculturalism is a theory created by the left, not by
- 8:35Speaker 2: immigrant communities.
- 8:37Speaker 3: Now, you know the thing I was saying, I think
- 8:40Speaker 3: what Hanson is hankering for.
- 8:42Speaker 2: Maybe I don't know, certainly, I am was the kind
- 8:46Speaker 2: of thing that Norwegians of the World Cup have been doing,
- 8:48Speaker 2: you know, honoring their country's Viking past, even those that
- 8:51Speaker 2: weren't Vikings. Thank God, rowing even up the escalator and
- 8:56Speaker 2: in the stadiums with Norwegian politicians have all backgrounds doing
- 9:01Speaker 2: exactly the same in parliament.
- 9:02Speaker 3: Every looks.
- 9:16Speaker 8: I am.
- 9:19Speaker 3: Man.
- 9:19Speaker 2: I reckon that's healthier. It makes them stronger than any
- 9:22Speaker 2: three flags of multi culturals. But I was just thinking,
- 9:25Speaker 2: was watching that, what on earth would you do collectively
- 9:28Speaker 2: in parliament to show the same cultural unity.
- 9:32Speaker 7: I suppose it's oh, that's just awful.
- 9:38Speaker 3: That's awful.
- 9:40Speaker 1: It's part of our culture. Don't deny it, Andrew, That's
- 9:43Speaker 1: who we are. O.
- 9:45Speaker 3: God, I cringe. I cringe of that.
- 9:48Speaker 1: One one thing, one thing I've actually actually hanker for,
- 9:51Speaker 1: Andrew I do.
- 9:52Speaker 7: I used to love when our athletes came out at
- 9:55Speaker 7: the Olympics wearing dryser bone and we whmember, we we
- 9:58Speaker 7: celebrated that part of our culture, that the stockman, the pioneer,
- 10:02Speaker 7: our frontier heritage. We seem to have lost that too.
- 10:05Speaker 7: We're now sort of there's a cultural cringe about that.
- 10:07Speaker 7: Some people would argue, oh, that's sort of a colonial
- 10:09Speaker 7: or they stole land and all this stuff and we
- 10:12Speaker 7: don't have that now. Come in with bleed loorent polo
- 10:16Speaker 7: sort of dress to a big events, and it's not
- 10:19Speaker 7: really identifiably Australian. So I totally agree. I think our
- 10:22Speaker 7: sporting fans are still like those Norwegians. The disconnect we're
- 10:26Speaker 7: seeing in our culture and frustration is that they see
- 10:29Speaker 7: their elected representatives unlike those in the Norwegian Parliament. They
- 10:32Speaker 7: see their elective representatives have a cringe about Australian patriotism,
- 10:39Speaker 7: about supporting Australians wherever they find them and doing so
- 10:44Speaker 7: in a way that celebrates our country. Yes, sometimes above others.
- 10:47Speaker 7: We've got a great, great culture in this country. That's
- 10:50Speaker 7: why so many people want to join us, why so
- 10:51Speaker 7: many people want to come here, because it's incredibly attractive,
- 10:54Speaker 7: it's fantastic and as I've said since i've been leader,
- 10:57Speaker 7: andrew everything that's wrong with this country right now and
- 11:00Speaker 7: be fixed.
- 11:00Speaker 1: But E think it's right in it. We just need
- 11:02Speaker 1: more Australia and we'll be fine.
- 11:06Speaker 2: Good answer now, Matt, better quickly do some serious economics
- 11:11Speaker 2: and politics here before I run out of time. The
- 11:13Speaker 2: government today boasting that has got to deal with the
- 11:16Speaker 2: Greens and other compromise with the Greens that passes changes
- 11:20Speaker 2: in capital gains tax discounts, negative gearing which led Angus
- 11:23Speaker 2: Taylor get in the kick of his own areas.
- 11:26Speaker 3: My question is to the Prime Minister.
- 11:28Speaker 2: In March last year, the Prime Minister said I don't
- 11:32Speaker 2: negotiate with the Greens.
- 11:34Speaker 1: When will you stop lying.
- 11:37Speaker 2: And true to form the Prime Minister's soul? This tax
- 11:40Speaker 2: hit Matt with a bit of class war against people
- 11:43Speaker 2: who invest.
- 11:44Speaker 3: Listen to this.
- 11:45Speaker 5: Eas Austraians have nothing to sell but their time, nothing
- 11:49Speaker 5: to give but their hard work, and that's how they
- 11:53Speaker 5: own an income, that's how they put food on the table.
- 11:56Speaker 5: And we want those people, those hard working stands to
- 12:01Speaker 5: have the opportunity to own their own home.
- 12:07Speaker 2: Matt, is he right clawing back these discounts for investors.
- 12:10Speaker 2: It's much fairer to waigh journeys.
- 12:13Speaker 1: It's the PM is an extremely diminished figure. Andrew.
- 12:18Speaker 7: He's sounding more like Arthur Cole or there than Paul Keating.
- 12:21Speaker 7: I mean it was Paul Keating that gave every worker
- 12:24Speaker 7: superannuation accounts. And what the Prime Ister did today was
- 12:27Speaker 7: to impose restrictions on every worker that has a SUPEROS
- 12:31Speaker 7: account and what they can do with it. Because of
- 12:34Speaker 7: this ridiculous deal with the Greens. People with superannuation now
- 12:37Speaker 7: will not be able to access the same benefits that
- 12:40Speaker 7: large super funds can by going to limited recourse borring
- 12:44Speaker 7: to buy their own home or to buy a home
- 12:46Speaker 7: for an investment that's often used sometimes in their retirement.
- 12:51Speaker 1: Now big super funds can do that.
- 12:53Speaker 7: They can expose themselves to leverage through derivatives, through buying
- 12:56Speaker 7: into geared other geared investments. They're large, and this is
- 12:59Speaker 7: the modern Labor Party risk large. They are all about
- 13:03Speaker 7: the big. The modern Labor Party supports the big unions,
- 13:06Speaker 7: the big superannuation funds, the big corporates, none of whom
- 13:08Speaker 7: are touched by their tax changes.
- 13:11Speaker 1: The attacks that have come in this budget from.
- 13:13Speaker 7: The Labor Party have all been on the small, the
- 13:15Speaker 7: small business, the small farmers, the small venture capital firms,
- 13:19Speaker 7: and yes, now again the small superannuation funds, self managed
- 13:24Speaker 7: superation superinnuation funds which are now being tied down with
- 13:28Speaker 7: the restrictions to try and force everybody in to a
- 13:31Speaker 7: large super fund and pay more fees to Wayne Swan
- 13:33Speaker 7: and his mates.
- 13:36Speaker 2: Yeah, on that very point that you make sex, I
- 13:39Speaker 2: think it's one of those unintended consequences. I mean, Phil
- 13:41Speaker 2: Curry of the finn Reviews said experts for telling him
- 13:45Speaker 2: that this is a thing of the super self managed
- 13:47Speaker 2: superannuation funds used by people women from broken marriages or
- 13:53Speaker 2: whatever widows to buy property with that money. And now
- 13:57Speaker 2: you know, here's a show called loophole cloth. Who'se Thank
- 14:00Speaker 2: you Greens, Thank you Labor, Matt Canavan, thank you too,
- 14:04Speaker 2: Thank you very much for your time, really appreciated. After
- 14:07Speaker 2: the break, Australians turn off Donald Trump as he acts
- 14:10Speaker 2: like an oath again.
- 14:12Speaker 3: But guess what he might just have.
- 14:15Speaker 2: Caused regime change in Iran. Donald Trump is embarrassing himself
- 14:26Speaker 2: in ways that you know, weaken the West. You just
- 14:28Speaker 2: look at the latest Low Institute poll which shows Australian's
- 14:31Speaker 2: trust in a most critical ally now at a record lower.
- 14:35Speaker 3: No wonder.
- 14:36Speaker 2: You just look at the past week how the US
- 14:38Speaker 2: president seems to go out of his way to offend
- 14:41Speaker 2: countries that should be America's strongest allies, but who are
- 14:45Speaker 2: now leaving the US in the lurch. There's the President's
- 14:49Speaker 2: ridiculous ego and his childish outbursts just for too. You know,
- 14:53Speaker 2: I watched Trump last week at that seventh summit with
- 14:57Speaker 2: world leaders and some tech billion His also in a panel,
- 15:01Speaker 2: and he arrogantly slapped the table to get the attention
- 15:04Speaker 2: of Sam Altman, who's head of Open Aye, like it
- 15:06Speaker 2: was some lackey, to complain that Trump's chair was making
- 15:10Speaker 2: him seem smaller, and that caused the Italian Prime Minister,
- 15:13Speaker 2: Georgia Maloney to roll her eyes, and Trump went on
- 15:16Speaker 2: and on about it until Canada's Prime Minister to the
- 15:19Speaker 2: right to the picture left. I think it is swap
- 15:22Speaker 2: chairs to shut him up and get on with business.
- 15:27Speaker 2: And then Trump also insulted Maloney by claiming she begged
- 15:30Speaker 2: him for a selfie, forcing this fury of denial again
- 15:34Speaker 2: from an American ally.
- 15:37Speaker 9: Donald Trump's statements are completely made up. I don't know
- 15:40Speaker 9: why the President of the United States behaves like this
- 15:43Speaker 9: towards his allies. It is disappointing that he does not
- 15:46Speaker 9: show the same determination with the enemies of the West, and.
- 15:50Speaker 2: I can I wonder why Trump sometimes seems to go
- 15:53Speaker 2: out of his way to make America's allies hate him
- 15:56Speaker 2: while treating tyrants like the best of buddies, and now
- 16:00Speaker 2: making the softer so called peace still with Iran turning
- 16:04Speaker 2: against Israel instead letting his lapdog Vice President Jed evance
- 16:07Speaker 2: treated like dirt. When Israel complains to Trump's peacetill stops
- 16:11Speaker 2: it defending itself from attacks from the husband of terrorist
- 16:13Speaker 2: army in Lebanon.
- 16:15Speaker 1: Donald J.
- 16:16Speaker 10: Trump is the only head of state in the entire
- 16:20Speaker 10: world who is sympathetic to the nation of Israel at
- 16:24Speaker 10: this moment in time, and he happens to be the
- 16:26Speaker 10: head of state of the world superpower. If I was
- 16:29Speaker 10: in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not
- 16:32Speaker 10: be attacking the only powerful ally that I have anywhere
- 16:36Speaker 10: left in the entire world.
- 16:40Speaker 2: What a nicety threat and also a bit of a spear,
- 16:43Speaker 2: because you know, plenty of other countries in Germany, for one,
- 16:46Speaker 2: do back Israel. Now, all that said, I reckon Trump
- 16:50Speaker 2: now does realize that this peace deal with Iran so
- 16:53Speaker 2: called makes him look weak and he's letting that's because
- 16:57Speaker 2: he's letting Iran immediately earn oil money, billion and in
- 17:00Speaker 2: American dollars and is giving it sanctions relief or without
- 17:03Speaker 2: Iran yet giving up the Iranian mid and rich for
- 17:06Speaker 2: nuclear bombs, which is the whole point of the war.
- 17:08Speaker 2: So even conservatives are attacking Trump, and it's now talking
- 17:11Speaker 2: tough on the weekend. For instance, he warned that if
- 17:14Speaker 2: Iran does close the straight over Moors to oil tankers,
- 17:16Speaker 2: as it falsely claims have now done.
- 17:20Speaker 3: You won't have a country.
- 17:21Speaker 2: It's peace negotiators who are now in Switzerland won't even
- 17:24Speaker 2: make it back to your effing country. And yet, you know,
- 17:29Speaker 2: in defense of Trump, and contrary what you hear in
- 17:33Speaker 2: the media, he might just have defeated Iran's more extreme leaders. Look,
- 17:39Speaker 2: I know Iran is talking tough. We won the war
- 17:42Speaker 2: and we're going to start tolling ships in the straight
- 17:44Speaker 2: up of moors.
- 17:45Speaker 3: We still want Israel destroyed, you know.
- 17:48Speaker 2: But for all that, we are now actually seeing signs
- 17:51Speaker 2: of a huge split in the Iranian leadership. The foreign
- 17:54Speaker 2: minister and you speak of Iran's parliament. They were in
- 17:57Speaker 2: Switzerland on the weekend talking to JDV because they want
- 18:00Speaker 2: this piece deal.
- 18:01Speaker 3: And the billions it means.
- 18:03Speaker 2: But they have been denounced as traders by ultra right
- 18:06Speaker 2: wingers at home. One cleric, a politician even went on
- 18:09Speaker 2: state TV to claim the two men had gone against them.
- 18:11Speaker 3: Wishes of Iran Supreme.
- 18:13Speaker 11: Leader Masi Sadi han Adame Rizot showgeld Mozajang Mad Bushe
- 18:32Speaker 11: Nadzu HASTI.
- 18:35Speaker 2: Well, that clerk is now being investigated for revealing state
- 18:38Speaker 2: secret documents, and the head of that TV program has
- 18:40Speaker 2: been sacked. So actually, wonder is the supreme leader Moshtabo
- 18:45Speaker 2: Komenae and fellow ultra hardliners and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard
- 18:50Speaker 2: Corps really still in charge in Iran?
- 18:53Speaker 3: Maybe not, He's the true leader now.
- 18:55Speaker 2: The more pragmatic I making this piece deal with Trump
- 18:58Speaker 2: the Iranian speaker Mohammad A Galibach, Although then again, how
- 19:02Speaker 2: moderate is he really? Bla omri ko my bar, omedy
- 19:08Speaker 2: kol my ba, lombo my ba.
- 19:11Speaker 12: That's wrong, my.
- 19:15Speaker 3: Whatever I mean?
- 19:16Speaker 2: Galibav does talk a big talk, but I guess he
- 19:18Speaker 2: feels he must perform for the cameras otherwise he might
- 19:21Speaker 2: be killed. But there is now a power struggle among
- 19:24Speaker 2: her own's leaders, even if the West doesn't think much
- 19:27Speaker 2: of America's leader either. I was joined earlier by Sean Spicer,
- 19:31Speaker 2: Donald Trump's first White House spokesman, Sewn Spicer always great
- 19:35Speaker 2: to see you, Donald Trump. In the past couple of
- 19:39Speaker 2: weeks seems to be even more bolshi or whatever it is.
- 19:43Speaker 13: What is it?
- 19:44Speaker 3: A guy that's picking fights with the leaders.
- 19:47Speaker 2: Of Britain and France and Germany and Italy and on
- 19:52Speaker 2: it goes.
- 19:53Speaker 3: What's going on.
- 19:56Speaker 14: I don't think each one probably can be explained in
- 19:59Speaker 14: its own context. I don't want to paint a broad brush,
- 20:02Speaker 14: but I will say that one of the things that's
- 20:03Speaker 14: really interesting to me Andrew is for decades, as long
- 20:06Speaker 14: as America sat back and pick up the tab for
- 20:09Speaker 14: its European friends, everybody was happy. As soon as we
- 20:12Speaker 14: started calling balls and strikes making it clear that they
- 20:15Speaker 14: weren't living up to their NATO obligations, everyone started questioning
- 20:19Speaker 14: the relationship. So, you know, I just find it interesting
- 20:23Speaker 14: that we're all good, happy friends as long as America
- 20:26Speaker 14: is doing its role picking up the tab for the
- 20:28Speaker 14: European incursions, protecting them, covering all the military aspects of
- 20:32Speaker 14: their security. As soon as we start holding them accountable
- 20:36Speaker 14: and calling them out when we need their assistance, it's
- 20:40Speaker 14: what are we doing to undermine the friendship? And I
- 20:43Speaker 14: just I'm not really sure that we're appreciating the reality
- 20:48Speaker 14: of how this relationship has gone.
- 20:50Speaker 2: Anytime that people say, oh, Donald Trump is terrible and
- 20:53Speaker 2: blah blah blah, you know, I told you not to
- 20:56Speaker 2: back you at the last selection, I have to say,
- 20:58Speaker 2: it is a zero sum guy. And do you really
- 21:02Speaker 2: want the Democrats Kamala Harris to have won instead? Because
- 21:05Speaker 2: look at this from last week, Sean, is this the
- 21:08Speaker 2: woman who would stand out to the wist enemies have?
- 21:11Speaker 15: Look, we each have light inside of us, and we
- 21:17Speaker 15: need to know that that is what inspires our hope
- 21:19Speaker 15: as much as anything external to ourselves. Let that light
- 21:23Speaker 15: kind of carry some particular through moments of darkness, that
- 21:27Speaker 15: we not only act on that hope, but we inspire
- 21:31Speaker 15: that hope in each other.
- 21:34Speaker 3: Oh, dear God, dear God.
- 21:37Speaker 2: I mean, this is a woman who says she's considering
- 21:41Speaker 2: running for president again.
- 21:42Speaker 3: I mean, seriously, give me Trump any day.
- 21:46Speaker 14: But look at Don Lemon his face, the interviewer in
- 21:49Speaker 14: that which is unbelievably sympathetic work.
- 21:52Speaker 1: Even he was like, what the heck are you saying?
- 21:55Speaker 3: I didn't understand that.
- 21:57Speaker 14: I literally think if you asked Chad Gpt to say,
- 22:00Speaker 14: create a Kamala Harris word salad, it couldn't do as
- 22:03Speaker 14: good as that. I mean, you're right, number one, you've
- 22:07Speaker 14: got to remember what the alternative is. But I would
- 22:09Speaker 14: argue that as I said earlier. Beyond that, it's just
- 22:12Speaker 14: it's a question of how long is America and American
- 22:16Speaker 14: taxpayers supposed to continue to just sit back and do nothing.
- 22:19Speaker 14: Because I guarantee you Kamala Harris wouldn't be standing up
- 22:21Speaker 14: to any of these people. She can't stand up to
- 22:23Speaker 14: Don Lemon, she can't give a coherent answer to anything.
- 22:26Speaker 14: So I you know, I agree with you, but I
- 22:28Speaker 14: also think we need to have a little bit more
- 22:31Speaker 14: of a backbone when it comes to standing up for
- 22:33Speaker 14: what our interests are.
- 22:35Speaker 3: Well.
- 22:36Speaker 2: I keep saying that one of Donald Trump's greatest achievements
- 22:39Speaker 2: is to get Europe to find his stick, his hands
- 22:41Speaker 2: in his pocket and start paying for defense.
- 22:44Speaker 3: Its own defense. I mean, it's extraordinary.
- 22:46Speaker 2: Is a country with you know, six hundred million people,
- 22:49Speaker 2: America's a three fifty million, and America is supposed to
- 22:52Speaker 2: defend them?
- 22:53Speaker 3: You know, get real Sean, the around deal. How do
- 22:57Speaker 3: you think it's playing out?
- 23:00Speaker 14: So count me as one of these people that's very
- 23:02Speaker 14: skeptical of Iran. I wouldn't trust them as far as
- 23:05Speaker 14: I probably could throw them farther and I would trust them.
- 23:08Speaker 14: How's that I don't believe anything they say that being said,
- 23:12Speaker 14: I do think that the Vice President and the team
- 23:14Speaker 14: is going in eyes wide open, which is to say,
- 23:17Speaker 14: we need to verify every single thing that they do.
- 23:20Speaker 14: We cannot reward them until they perform for that reward,
- 23:24Speaker 14: meaning that we don't give them anything in advance of performance.
- 23:28Speaker 1: I think that's the right call.
- 23:29Speaker 14: There's an alter I mean, you mentioned the alternative a
- 23:31Speaker 14: moment ago, Andrew with respect to our last election. I
- 23:35Speaker 14: would argue that we also have to look at what
- 23:37Speaker 14: the alternative is. In the Iran situation. We could just
- 23:40Speaker 14: keep bombing them. I'm not actually opposed to that, but
- 23:43Speaker 14: I do believe at some point, if they're willing to
- 23:46Speaker 14: come to the table and do the things that the
- 23:48Speaker 14: administration claims that they're willing to do, which is one
- 23:52Speaker 14: not seek enrichment of a nuclear weapon, to not fund
- 23:55Speaker 14: proxies that support terrorism, I'm at least willing to try,
- 24:00Speaker 14: and I think that we have to be willing to
- 24:02Speaker 14: do that. However, as the Vice President anounced this morning
- 24:05Speaker 14: that we'll have you an inspectors in again, will they
- 24:08Speaker 14: be allowed to actually come in at a time in
- 24:11Speaker 14: place of their choosing to go where they want to
- 24:14Speaker 14: inspect all the things?
- 24:15Speaker 3: If that's the case.
- 24:16Speaker 9: I'm for it.
- 24:17Speaker 14: If Iran is just paying lip service to all of
- 24:19Speaker 14: these talking points, then it's not worth going to any further,
- 24:23Speaker 14: and then we need to hold them accountable. But I'm
- 24:25Speaker 14: at least willing to give the administration the benefit of
- 24:28Speaker 14: the doubt and to try to get peace, to try
- 24:31Speaker 14: to make us a safer world.
- 24:33Speaker 3: Well, I think that's true.
- 24:34Speaker 2: I find a very interesting in the splits of the
- 24:36Speaker 2: Iranian regime at the moment, which does suggest that some
- 24:40Speaker 2: of the hardliners do not trust this speaker of the
- 24:43Speaker 2: Iranian Parliament, Gallibaf, who breathes fire but is making deals
- 24:48Speaker 2: that well might lead to what you say. We shall
- 24:51Speaker 2: say Jean Spice to thank you so much.
- 24:53Speaker 3: For your time.
- 24:55Speaker 1: Always a pleasure, Andrew thank you.
- 25:00Speaker 3: Tapes along kept in the National Library.
- 25:03Speaker 2: Well, they show by the Stolen Generations as a mefil
- 25:06Speaker 2: play you some disturbing excerpts. Now for nearly thirty years
- 25:14Speaker 2: for perhaps the deadliest myth ever told in this country.
- 25:16Speaker 3: You can tell.
- 25:17Speaker 2: Well, I've done, and tonight I'm going to play three
- 25:20Speaker 2: recordings of found in our National Library that I'm starting
- 25:23Speaker 2: to being quoted nowhere nowhere that I've heard because they
- 25:26Speaker 2: explode this myth that's spread by academics and activists and
- 25:31Speaker 2: and a certain grand standing Prime minister that Australia is
- 25:35Speaker 2: so racist that it stole generations of children just because
- 25:40Speaker 2: they were Aboriginal.
- 25:43Speaker 16: We apologize for the laws and policies of successive parliaments
- 25:47Speaker 16: and governments that have inflicted profound grief, suffering and loss
- 25:53Speaker 16: on these our fellow Australians. We apologize especially for them
- 26:00Speaker 16: of Aboriginal and Torrest Right Island are children from their families.
- 26:06Speaker 2: An inquiry by the Human Rights Commission even claimed that
- 26:08Speaker 2: there'd been a genocide one in three children removed, a
- 26:12Speaker 2: totally fictitious claim based on the misreading of a survey
- 26:15Speaker 2: in just one town, Burke, a surveyed by a doctor
- 26:18Speaker 2: who in fact found just nine children there forcibly removed,
- 26:22Speaker 2: all from parents who were hopeless alcoholics.
- 26:25Speaker 3: But strange thing.
- 26:27Speaker 2: For a couple of decades, I have issued a very
- 26:30Speaker 2: public challenge these one hundred thousand stolen children, the Human
- 26:35Speaker 2: Rights Commission claims were stolen. Name just ten, Name just
- 26:40Speaker 2: ten children supposedly stolen from their parents simply for being Aboriginal,
- 26:45Speaker 2: and not because they were in danger or abandoned or
- 26:47Speaker 2: sent away for schooling.
- 26:49Speaker 3: Now many have tried and all have failed, which is why.
- 26:52Speaker 2: Repeated attempts to get speech police to muzzle me have failed.
- 26:57Speaker 2: Nor have the courts found such people. So why were
- 27:03Speaker 2: some Aboriginal children removed? Well, let's now go to these
- 27:09Speaker 2: tapes recording to the National Library did twenty six years
- 27:11Speaker 2: ago of church missionaries interviewing them. Now, if there really
- 27:17Speaker 2: was a genocide, these were supposedly the Nazis. Except listen
- 27:22Speaker 2: to their stories and the truth that Strong Generations activists
- 27:27Speaker 2: never tell. The first Grabel plays from an interview with
- 27:32Speaker 2: Sister Eileen Heath. She was an Anglican deaconess who ran
- 27:37Speaker 2: the famous Saint Mary's Home in Alice Springs in the
- 27:40Speaker 2: nineteen fifties, and she said she'd never had a child
- 27:44Speaker 2: there who'd been stolen.
- 27:45Speaker 3: Instead, she'd dealt with what were then called.
- 27:48Speaker 2: Half caste children who'd been rejected for that by their tribes,
- 27:52Speaker 2: along with their mothers.
- 27:54Speaker 3: An apology for this truth bomb, the.
- 27:57Speaker 8: Child was definitely asked rejected because the mother in many cases,
- 28:05Speaker 8: had been promised from almost from birth to a white
- 28:09Speaker 8: or to a color of black Aboriginal and because she'd
- 28:14Speaker 8: broken her the rules.
- 28:16Speaker 17: She was.
- 28:18Speaker 8: Rejected and very often ill treated, and the children were
- 28:24Speaker 8: often ill treated to you, and the children, some of
- 28:27Speaker 8: them were so neglected health wise that they simply had
- 28:35Speaker 8: to be taken away for their own good. They'd have
- 28:38Speaker 8: died a lot of them if they'd remained in the camps.
- 28:42Speaker 2: Over in West Australia missionary missionaries Avon and desly Moyle.
- 28:47Speaker 2: They were also interviewed and asked about their work in
- 28:50Speaker 2: the nineteen seventies and eighties with Aboriginal children at Norseman
- 28:54Speaker 2: Mission and then at Roland's Village, and what they describe
- 28:57Speaker 2: is even more horrific.
- 29:00Speaker 17: We looked after, for instance, one boy that had been
- 29:04Speaker 17: left on an ant hill to die, and a nursing
- 29:10Speaker 17: sister had happened to visit the community looking for him,
- 29:14Speaker 17: and she found him on the ant heap, just alive
- 29:17Speaker 17: with ants. There was another girl that we looked after
- 29:21Speaker 17: whose mum had been murdered. She'd seen her mum murdered,
- 29:27Speaker 17: and she lived in a town out of Calgirley, but
- 29:32Speaker 17: she was nobody's responsibility, and so she would go and
- 29:38Speaker 17: live with this one and that one, and they would
- 29:39Speaker 17: look after for a while and send her on her way.
- 29:44Speaker 18: She was only four years old when she came into Cares.
- 29:49Speaker 2: I've heard and read many such interviews. To say such
- 29:52Speaker 2: children were stolen is a lie. Is anyone really saying
- 29:56Speaker 2: that the Moyles should not have helped children like these?
- 30:01Speaker 17: It seemed to us that they were not getting a
- 30:03Speaker 17: fair go where they were. Children were suffering, and they
- 30:08Speaker 17: used to come in starving, dirty, unkempt, not having gone
- 30:18Speaker 17: to school for weeks and weeks at a time.
- 30:22Speaker 2: Now, the Moles and Sister he did not deny that
- 30:25Speaker 2: conditions in some homes back then were simply not good enough.
- 30:29Speaker 2: Not enough authorities cared. But these people and many liked them,
- 30:33Speaker 2: like Sister Rutter and Sister Hyde over in South Stro's
- 30:36Speaker 2: colbroo Combe, they were heroes, and some women that they
- 30:40Speaker 2: helped when they were children publicly paid tribute, like Faith Thomas,
- 30:44Speaker 2: later a bowler with our women's test team.
- 30:47Speaker 5: Had I not been in Colebrook, I would never have
- 30:50Speaker 5: got the opportunities that I did have.
- 30:53Speaker 17: So I consider myself not stolen, but chosen.
- 31:00Speaker 2: Now I said the Solent generation Smith was deadly, and
- 31:02Speaker 2: it is because I have reported on Aboriginal children who
- 31:06Speaker 2: were not removed for fear of supposedly repeating this. Stolen
- 31:09Speaker 2: Generations children then died or were removed from white cares
- 31:13Speaker 2: for the same reasons, sent back bush and were raped.
- 31:17Speaker 2: But you've now heard recordings from people who were there
- 31:19Speaker 2: who tell of saving children from death. We should say
- 31:24Speaker 2: sorry that they even helped. Was joined a bit earlier
- 31:29Speaker 2: by Gary Johns, a former federal labor minister, head of
- 31:32Speaker 2: the Closing the Gap research and author of the Burden
- 31:35Speaker 2: of Culture How to Dismantle the Aboriginal Industry and give
- 31:39Speaker 2: Hope to its victims. Gary John's great to see you again.
- 31:44Speaker 2: The Stolen Generation's story. How damaging has that been?
- 31:51Speaker 6: Awfully damaging to children who need to be taken into care.
- 31:56Speaker 3: This is the question.
- 31:57Speaker 6: We shouldn't be hesitating to take children who need the
- 32:02Speaker 6: safety of being taken from their families into care. But
- 32:06Speaker 6: because of the sort of myth of the Stolen Generations,
- 32:10Speaker 6: we're simply not doing our job.
- 32:14Speaker 2: Yes, the former Chief Justice of West Australia had warned
- 32:18Speaker 2: about that years ago, and health and protection experts in
- 32:24Speaker 2: Northern Territory same thing. And yet you know when it's
- 32:27Speaker 2: so obvious, and when you see cases of children who
- 32:32Speaker 2: have not been removed or in fact some being sent
- 32:34Speaker 2: back to the communities. One childhood been pack raped in
- 32:38Speaker 2: Eric and then sent back to Ariican because she was
- 32:41Speaker 2: with white carers, pack raped again. Why has it been
- 32:46Speaker 2: so important to maintain the stolen generation story? To what
- 32:52Speaker 2: so important to the Aboriginal industry.
- 32:56Speaker 6: Well, I think there are some very large organizations. Now
- 32:59Speaker 6: there's one Snai double c Snake, which is the voice
- 33:04Speaker 6: of Aboriginal people and it.
- 33:06Speaker 3: Insists on the child.
- 33:07Speaker 6: The Aboriginal child placement principle for instance, so the child
- 33:11Speaker 6: should never be taken from an Aboriginal family or kith
- 33:15Speaker 6: or kin unless as a last resort. What it means
- 33:19Speaker 6: is that people are constantly looking to keep a child
- 33:23Speaker 6: in the community of culture, no matter if they're being beaten.
- 33:28Speaker 6: So I see in Northern Territory, the Northern Territory government
- 33:32Speaker 6: very sensibly is downgrading if you're like that child placement
- 33:37Speaker 6: principle and placing it at the very top of the
- 33:40Speaker 6: order the best interests of the child, so you can
- 33:44Speaker 6: take into account the context of the child's life. But
- 33:47Speaker 6: if you need to save a child's life, and the
- 33:50Speaker 6: only way to do that is to take the child
- 33:52Speaker 6: from the family and from the community. That's what you
- 33:55Speaker 6: should do, and the stolen Generation's myth is preventing good
- 34:00Speaker 6: work from being undertaken.
- 34:04Speaker 3: I also think.
- 34:05Speaker 2: It's ignoring the fact that so many children we're talking
- 34:09Speaker 2: about have both European or non Aboriginal ancestry as well
- 34:14Speaker 2: as Aboriginal ancestry. I'm not sure why their Aboriginal ancestry
- 34:18Speaker 2: is seen as the decisive one. Why you know, there
- 34:23Speaker 2: can't be some allows made for the fact that they
- 34:26Speaker 2: also have non Aboriginal ancestors and culture that they could
- 34:30Speaker 2: be immersed in.
- 34:31Speaker 3: But what about the.
- 34:32Speaker 2: Damage gary to our national pride? I mean, we've now
- 34:36Speaker 2: seen generations of children led to believe that this is
- 34:40Speaker 2: such a cruel and racist country that we actually did
- 34:44Speaker 2: steal Abaginal children for no other reason than the fact
- 34:47Speaker 2: they were Aboriginal. And we're talking about school children being shown,
- 34:52Speaker 2: for instance, the rabbit Proof Fence, which in my opinion,
- 34:56Speaker 2: falsely claims to be a true story of a child
- 34:59Speaker 2: stolen permission from a community where she was in no
- 35:02Speaker 2: danger at all. The evidence that I've found and exposed
- 35:06Speaker 2: is the exact opposite. There the damage done to our
- 35:10Speaker 2: pride that also is a cost.
- 35:12Speaker 3: Isn't it.
- 35:15Speaker 6: An immense cost to our pride but also to the
- 35:18Speaker 6: way we manage our relations with Aboriginal people. So we
- 35:22Speaker 6: are taking fewer children into care now than we would otherwise. Okay,
- 35:27Speaker 6: whin the missionaries did good work. They are protecting Averages
- 35:30Speaker 6: from the worst of the European society, but they are
- 35:33Speaker 6: also preparing Aboriginal people for the European society, the only
- 35:39Speaker 6: society which could possibly succeed.
- 35:42Speaker 3: And we've stopped that.
- 35:44Speaker 6: We've made Australians feel angry and grousey that somehow we've
- 35:48Speaker 6: done the wrong thing in the past. The only thing
- 35:51Speaker 6: we've done wrong in the last fifty years is to
- 35:54Speaker 6: ignore the fact that we must prepare Aboriginal people to
- 35:58Speaker 6: come into the modern society, and most of them have.
- 36:04Speaker 6: You know, eighty percent of Aboriginal people people of Aboriginal
- 36:07Speaker 6: descent live well in the society. But it's that last
- 36:11Speaker 6: twenty percent, mainly in remote communities, who are being sat
- 36:16Speaker 6: out there outside of the economy and told to live
- 36:20Speaker 6: a culture, and it's killing them.
- 36:23Speaker 2: There will be some communities that are doing very well,
- 36:27Speaker 2: but clearly the statistics on hospitalization of children and women
- 36:33Speaker 2: from domestic violence. Things like that show that it is
- 36:37Speaker 2: much worse in a number of remote communities and that's
- 36:41Speaker 2: where some of the problems really are profound.
- 36:44Speaker 3: Gary Johns, thank you so much for your time. Really
- 36:47Speaker 3: appreciate it.
- 36:53Speaker 2: After the break, the banksound nurses get a win in
- 36:55Speaker 2: a shop call on the video that showed them allegedly
- 36:59Speaker 2: talking about Israeli patience.
- 37:06Speaker 3: Incredible.
- 37:07Speaker 2: A judge in New South Wales today ruled that a
- 37:09Speaker 2: video that went viral showing two Sydney nurses allegedly threatening
- 37:14Speaker 2: Israeli patients can't be used against.
- 37:17Speaker 3: Them in the nurses trial.
- 37:19Speaker 2: I mean we all saw it, or most of us,
- 37:22Speaker 2: the video in which these nurses allegedly said on an
- 37:25Speaker 2: online chat service to an Israeli blogger he said what
- 37:30Speaker 2: they said about Israeli patients of Bankstown Hospital. In fact,
- 37:33Speaker 2: they were stood down from their jobs and have even
- 37:35Speaker 2: been charged with using a carriage service or harass menis
- 37:38Speaker 2: or offend. The woman, Sarah Abu lb there has also
- 37:41Speaker 2: been charged with threatening violence to a group. Now both
- 37:44Speaker 2: plead not guilty and the judge day said well no
- 37:49Speaker 2: to the use of the video of them. It was
- 37:51Speaker 2: illegal to record a private conversation or activity without the
- 37:54Speaker 2: consider of the parties involved. So this video can't now
- 37:57Speaker 2: be evidence a video of chat and an online service
- 38:01Speaker 2: that matches people randomly join me. Amir Schlick, the executive
- 38:05Speaker 2: director the Samuel Griffiths Society, and Michael daan Be, former
- 38:08Speaker 2: federal labor politician and chairman back then the Joint Standing
- 38:11Speaker 2: Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defense and Trade.
- 38:13Speaker 3: Michael, you heard the video. I heard the video.
- 38:16Speaker 2: Jews everywhere heard the video. The nurses bosses and the
- 38:20Speaker 2: Healthy Minister heard the video.
- 38:21Speaker 3: But the colt may not. They may not hear it
- 38:24Speaker 3: fair enough.
- 38:25Speaker 18: No things seem to be going in certain directions. Andrew,
- 38:29Speaker 18: you know there's blokes who are freed after burning liquor
- 38:33Speaker 18: stores to participate in machete attacks at Flinder Street Station.
- 38:38Speaker 18: Judges rule against the police that people are allowed to
- 38:42Speaker 18: take over the Sydney Harbor Bridge.
- 38:44Speaker 3: Look, the public has a view on these things.
- 38:48Speaker 18: I think this nurses thing that they saw, whether the
- 38:51Speaker 18: judge likes it a lot publicly, and the isis brides
- 38:58Speaker 18: and particularly the events in in BONDI all create a
- 39:02Speaker 18: package that make people critical of high migration. Just as
- 39:07Speaker 18: Barnaby Joyce has said, I agree with him. That's the
- 39:11Speaker 18: thing that's informing the shift in public opinion. So you
- 39:14Speaker 18: may not see it in court, but it's certainly affecting
- 39:16Speaker 18: Australian opinion.
- 39:20Speaker 2: What do you think, Mia, I guess the law is
- 39:23Speaker 2: the law, but wow, I'm not sure that that is
- 39:28Speaker 2: how most people would want the case to be heard
- 39:31Speaker 2: without that video, whether they're innocent or not. It would
- 39:36Speaker 2: be useful to find one way or the other.
- 39:42Speaker 12: Well, and I think you're right in saying that, yes,
- 39:44Speaker 12: the law is the law, but it's also important to
- 39:46Speaker 12: point out that in this scenario, this judge did have discretion.
- 39:50Speaker 13: This judge did have to.
- 39:52Speaker 12: Weigh up competing interests here, and I think you're also
- 39:55Speaker 12: right to point out that the decision this case probably
- 39:58Speaker 12: doesn't align with public expects. It certainly doesn't align with
- 40:01Speaker 12: my public expect my expectation of what the court should
- 40:04Speaker 12: have decided in this scenario. But here we have a
- 40:06Speaker 12: judge who had to weigh up the weight of privacy
- 40:09Speaker 12: laws versus are the importance of hearing this video in court.
- 40:13Speaker 12: At the end of the day, he could have decided that,
- 40:15Speaker 12: regardless of the problem of how the video was obtained,
- 40:18Speaker 12: it was too important to the Administration of Justice that
- 40:21Speaker 12: this video was heard. However, the judge decided not to
- 40:24Speaker 12: use his discretion in that way, and I think Michael
- 40:27Speaker 12: is right to point out that this is a continuous
- 40:30Speaker 12: trend that we see in the courts of the moment.
- 40:32Speaker 12: We are seeing a number of judges who are making
- 40:35Speaker 12: decisions that consistently depart from public expectations. But the problem
- 40:39Speaker 12: is is that when that happens, when judges do depart
- 40:42Speaker 12: from public expectations, there's very little that the public can
- 40:46Speaker 12: do about it. We can't vote out a bad judge,
- 40:49Speaker 12: and that is a real problem.
- 40:53Speaker 2: Now I'm going to say you about the judge. You know,
- 40:56Speaker 2: I'm no expert about the discretion all that, but I
- 40:58Speaker 2: guess if people have got a problem with the law,
- 41:00Speaker 2: don't blame the judge, Blame the politicians who voted for
- 41:04Speaker 2: that law. Pauline Hanson, Michael, and what we just heard,
- 41:10Speaker 2: I think sort of feeds into this a bit. With
- 41:12Speaker 2: just one word monoculture, blew up Angus Taylor's day.
- 41:17Speaker 3: I showed at the top of the show.
- 41:19Speaker 2: Him neither daring to disagree with Hanson on Australia needing
- 41:23Speaker 2: a public monoculture and not daring to agree either and
- 41:27Speaker 2: being torn apart by labor for it.
- 41:29Speaker 3: What did you make of the fuss?
- 41:31Speaker 18: Well, first of all, I agree with you the other
- 41:33Speaker 18: day when you I think you said that that use
- 41:35Speaker 18: of that word was a mistake.
- 41:37Speaker 3: Who would have been better to say.
- 41:38Speaker 18: Shared values because it made her a target to anyone
- 41:41Speaker 18: who uses that word, an easier target. I know what
- 41:46Speaker 18: she's getting at, and so do you, and so do
- 41:47Speaker 18: the Australian public. I think the problem is angus or
- 41:51Speaker 18: angry tailor as I told him call him. He uses
- 41:54Speaker 18: too many cliches and press conferences. He had the word
- 41:58Speaker 18: angry one, don't he used it about twenty times angry
- 42:01Speaker 18: this angry that he used a similar thing.
- 42:03Speaker 3: On the weekend. Angus.
- 42:05Speaker 18: You've got to relax more, You've got to talk more sincerely,
- 42:09Speaker 18: more matter of fact. Way, dare I say it like
- 42:12Speaker 18: the new British labor leader compared to the past one?
- 42:17Speaker 3: Well, there is that me?
- 42:20Speaker 2: What did you think I mean? I'm torn with that monoculture.
- 42:23Speaker 2: I do think it was a mistake because it's a
- 42:25Speaker 2: lightning ride. It was misinterpreted, wasn't well explained, and the
- 42:28Speaker 2: issues off. But on the other hand, the issues off
- 42:30Speaker 2: and running. And that's exactly what does suit Hanson. What
- 42:35Speaker 2: do you think of the whole debate though, the concept
- 42:38Speaker 2: of having a public culture that is a kind of monoculture,
- 42:42Speaker 2: like we only support these central values, this central culture,
- 42:47Speaker 2: we don't go funding everyone else's private culture as well.
- 42:53Speaker 14: Well.
- 42:54Speaker 12: I think it's about time that we actually started having
- 42:55Speaker 12: conversation here in Australia, and I think that is what
- 42:58Speaker 12: Pauline Hanson has been very effect doing, is at taking
- 43:01Speaker 12: these ideas that we've allays accepted as norm for a
- 43:04Speaker 12: long time, the phrases like multiculturalism, and in this country,
- 43:08Speaker 12: we haven't had a debate about what that actually means
- 43:11Speaker 12: for a long time, and paul Enhanson has certainly sparked
- 43:13Speaker 12: that debate. But I do think it is time that
- 43:15Speaker 12: we start questioning what that actually means because for a
- 43:19Speaker 12: long time, especially under this Labor government, multicultural multiculturalism seems
- 43:24Speaker 12: to be centered on this idea that you can have
- 43:26Speaker 12: anyone from all over the world, regardless of their values,
- 43:29Speaker 12: and you'll bring them to the same land mass and
- 43:31Speaker 12: that will be enough to unite a country. Now, just
- 43:33Speaker 12: sharing the same land mass is not enough to unite Australians.
- 43:38Speaker 13: So I think it's about time that we do have
- 43:39Speaker 13: that conversation.
- 43:40Speaker 12: I thought the Liberal Party was maybe off to a
- 43:42Speaker 12: good start talking about Australian values.
- 43:45Speaker 13: However they seem to have just stopped there.
- 43:48Speaker 12: I'm yet to hear Angus Taylor or any of the
- 43:50Speaker 12: coalition actually talk about what they mean by Australian values
- 43:53Speaker 12: and what that actually is. And I think that's really
- 43:57Speaker 12: the crucial part of this debate. What doesn't mean to
- 43:59Speaker 12: be Australian.
- 44:02Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think we're often missing in that is
- 44:05Speaker 2: that Australian values, whatever values you want to call them,
- 44:09Speaker 2: are best enforced with love, not by legislation. So you've
- 44:13Speaker 2: got to give people something to emotionally respond to. You
- 44:16Speaker 2: can't just say, oh, listen, here's a little tick these
- 44:19Speaker 2: boxes and you share our values.
- 44:22Speaker 3: It doesn't work that way. Michael.
- 44:25Speaker 2: We have had just the perfect example of what Hansen
- 44:29Speaker 2: is talking about, which is fighting a new study showing
- 44:33Speaker 2: ten percent of year nine and ten state schools teachers
- 44:37Speaker 2: in this survey in New South Wales refuse to teach
- 44:40Speaker 2: about the Holocaust, some refusing if to teach about the
- 44:43Speaker 2: diary of Anne Frank, murdered in the Holocaust because in
- 44:46Speaker 2: at least some cases they said, well, we've got Middle
- 44:48Speaker 2: Eastern students who would not like it. What's more, of
- 44:52Speaker 2: the Australian Education Union said teachers needed more guidance from
- 44:56Speaker 2: education ministers in teaching about the Holocaust because of the
- 45:00Speaker 2: verse lived experience of students of some MIDLISTI and students
- 45:04Speaker 2: I would assume.
- 45:05Speaker 3: And that's the problem right there in a nutshell, isn't it.
- 45:08Speaker 18: All The old communists who ran the Teachers Union in
- 45:12Speaker 18: New South Wales would be embarrassed at their successes now
- 45:14Speaker 18: dropping this because it's not fashionable, or some group of
- 45:20Speaker 18: intolerance from the western subbs of Sydney don't want to
- 45:23Speaker 18: learn it in class. There are certain universal values that
- 45:26Speaker 18: we should take into consideration, and one of them is
- 45:30Speaker 18: that the paradigm of evil is what happened during the.
- 45:32Speaker 1: Second World War.
- 45:33Speaker 18: And teachers in New South Wales who are too scared
- 45:37Speaker 18: to teach this shouldn't be in positions of responsibility. But
- 45:40Speaker 18: it's such a reflection on the Teachers Union. They'd never
- 45:43Speaker 18: have been like this in the past. They would have
- 45:45Speaker 18: been what they called anti fascists. They can't even teach
- 45:48Speaker 18: the Diary of Ann Frank, My goodness, pathetic.
- 45:52Speaker 2: Well, I must say, I must say the new Southwest
- 45:55Speaker 2: Education Union system surveys unrepresentative.
- 45:58Speaker 3: You know, they're trying to trash it, but that's it.
- 46:00Speaker 2: I do recall seeing a number of teachers over there
- 46:04Speaker 2: in protest wherein Keffe is So I'm not quite sure
- 46:06Speaker 2: if they're talking about Middle Easince students wanting them to
- 46:10Speaker 2: talk about the Holocaust.
- 46:11Speaker 3: So maybe what do you make of the story? What
- 46:17Speaker 3: do you make of it?
- 46:18Speaker 12: Me, Hey, Andrew, if teachers were to start talking about
- 46:23Speaker 12: what's appropriate to teach school children, I'm more than happy
- 46:26Speaker 12: to start engaging that debate. I've been wanting to talk
- 46:28Speaker 12: about this for a long time. I think there's a
- 46:30Speaker 12: whole lot of things that we shouldn't be teaching children.
- 46:32Speaker 12: For example, I don't think we should be teaching five
- 46:34Speaker 12: year olds about the Stolen Generation.
- 46:35Speaker 13: I don't think they mature enough yet.
- 46:37Speaker 12: I don't think we should be teaching six and seven
- 46:39Speaker 12: year olds about gender ideology and teaching them that there
- 46:42Speaker 12: are not two genders. And I don't think we should
- 46:44Speaker 12: be teaching those in year five and six are about
- 46:47Speaker 12: climate change in the world's about to explode from global warming.
- 46:51Speaker 13: I think all of that's in appropriate.
- 46:52Speaker 12: But somehow I think these teachers who don't want to
- 46:55Speaker 12: teach the Holocaust, I'm sure none of them have a
- 46:58Speaker 12: problem teaching those idea is that I think.
- 47:00Speaker 13: Are incredibly age and appropriate.
- 47:02Speaker 12: However, I think learning about the atrocities of World War
- 47:04Speaker 12: Two in year nine to ten are definitely appropriate at
- 47:07Speaker 12: that age. I think it's really important. I think it
- 47:10Speaker 12: shapes the worldview that we now have. It shapes many
- 47:12Speaker 12: of the tensions and relationships that we see all around
- 47:15Speaker 12: the globe, which year nine intentions are taught in a
- 47:18Speaker 12: variety of different ways, and I think if you remove
- 47:20Speaker 12: that crucial piece of the puzzle that really informs the
- 47:23Speaker 12: world we're living in today, then that.
- 47:25Speaker 13: Is a huge, huge mistake.
- 47:27Speaker 12: But I think that speaks to the activism of these teachers,
- 47:29Speaker 12: that they have a problem teaching about the Holocaust, but
- 47:32Speaker 12: not all of these other activist ideas.
- 47:37Speaker 2: Meer Schliff, Michael Danby, thank you very much to you
- 47:40Speaker 2: both your spot on In fact, you know there it
- 47:43Speaker 2: is a monoculture, would insist one curriculum for all, And
- 47:46Speaker 2: I don't care where you're from, these are our values.
- 47:49Speaker 3: This is what we want you to know, and you
- 47:51Speaker 3: don't go off in your own way. That's what I think.
- 47:54Speaker 3: That's it for me.
