Speaker 1: Late welcome, wait to pay.
0:06
Speaker 2: Well, good evening and thanks for joining us.
0:08
Speaker 3: I'm James Macpherson with Liz Thorer and Caleb Bond. We've
0:11
Speaker 3: had a lot to get through tonight, including police left
0:14
Speaker 3: shot after CCTV footage shows a man who reported that
0:18
Speaker 3: he'd been assaulted was actually punching himself in the face.
0:22
Speaker 2: We'll get to that a bit later.
0:23
Speaker 3: Plus, when we look at what's making news tomorrow, power
0:26
Speaker 3: prices continue to rise with no relief in sight, and
0:30
Speaker 3: Anthony Alberanesi's staff stuff up his diary. Turns out you
0:34
Speaker 3: can't go to an Indonesian president's inauguration and host King
0:37
Speaker 3: Charles all at the same time. It's one accident after
0:41
Speaker 3: another for Anthony Albanesi. All of that when we get
0:44
Speaker 3: to tomorrow's news. But first, a Queensland town has lost
0:48
Speaker 3: its fight to block the transfer of two hundred and
0:50
Speaker 3: ten hectares of crownland to a local Aboriginal group. The
0:55
Speaker 3: people have to be a near Gundawindi in Queensland claimed
0:58
Speaker 3: ninety five percent of their town and two million dollars
1:01
Speaker 3: worth of land has been handed over in the deal
1:04
Speaker 3: that was done secretly by the state.
1:06
Speaker 2: Labor government.
1:07
Speaker 3: The land had been held in trust for the past
1:10
Speaker 3: one hundred and eighteen years by the local council, but
1:13
Speaker 3: the Labour state government, without protest from the council, had
1:17
Speaker 3: canceled the trusteeship and handed over the land without consulting locals.
1:23
Speaker 3: Local publican Michael offerdah Sorry Offerdahal, He said, the state
1:27
Speaker 3: government the council, they haven't backed up one thing. They
1:31
Speaker 3: haven't even proven that council trusteeship of the reserve can
1:34
Speaker 3: be taken away. The council gave it up. You can't
1:38
Speaker 3: take away trusteeship without talking to the community about it.
1:43
Speaker 2: Now. This is just one of fifteen.
1:45
Speaker 3: Towns around Queensland who are currently undergoing these land claims
1:50
Speaker 3: kept secret by the state government.
1:52
Speaker 2: There's a couple of interesting.
1:53
Speaker 3: Things to this report is that I think are really
1:55
Speaker 3: concerning the local council, which incidentally is headed by Lawrence Springboard,
2:00
Speaker 3: format state Liberal leader in Queensland. He says, look, locals
2:04
Speaker 3: have've got nothing to worry about. There'll be no denying
2:07
Speaker 3: you any access to the land which you've always had
2:09
Speaker 3: access to, And in the next breath he says, I
2:11
Speaker 3: would encourage you to go and talk to the Aboriginal
2:15
Speaker 3: Land Council group. Why do you have to talk to
2:17
Speaker 3: the aboriginal group if there's no impediment to using the land.
2:21
Speaker 3: And even more astonishing than that, Lawrence Springborg said that
2:24
Speaker 3: in the future for the town to expand, the council
2:28
Speaker 3: would need to buy back land what has just been
2:31
Speaker 3: given to indigenous groups.
2:34
Speaker 2: None of this makes sense.
2:35
Speaker 3: And watching what's happening in Tabia near Gundawindi, you can
2:39
Speaker 3: only imagine the other fourteen locations around Queensland how those
2:42
Speaker 3: people must be feeling.
2:44
Speaker 4: And they get absolutely no say in the matter.
2:46
Speaker 5: We know that as of June, over forty two percent
2:49
Speaker 5: of Queensland was already under Native title. Over fifty percent
2:53
Speaker 5: of Australia at large is under Native title, which when
2:56
Speaker 5: you think about it, is massively disproported it to the
3:00
Speaker 5: amount of Aboriginals we have here roughly three percent of
3:03
Speaker 5: our population.
3:05
Speaker 4: So this just seems to be.
3:07
Speaker 5: A train that is storming through getting away.
3:11
Speaker 4: Nobody else gets to have a say.
3:13
Speaker 5: This is the state that had the strongest no vote
3:17
Speaker 5: at the Voice referendum.
3:18
Speaker 4: Queenslanders do not want this happening, and yet they're having
3:22
Speaker 4: it happen. Come hell or high water.
3:24
Speaker 5: And I hate to say it, but there's no relief
3:26
Speaker 5: in sight even if and when, and it looks like
3:29
Speaker 5: when you get an L ANDP government.
3:32
Speaker 4: Because Chris A.
3:33
Speaker 5: Fooley was asked about this just ten days ago and
3:37
Speaker 5: he simply replied, quote Queenslanders need to have access to
3:41
Speaker 5: the areas that they've always had access to end quote
3:45
Speaker 5: hardly compelling and rich. Can you imagine if this guy
3:48
Speaker 5: had just come out and said, look, I'm going to
3:50
Speaker 5: put a stop to this because it's.
3:52
Speaker 4: Getting out of hand. Queenslanders have already.
3:54
Speaker 5: Told us they do not want their state carved up. Indeed,
3:59
Speaker 5: allions as a whole. Do you not want their nation
4:02
Speaker 5: carved up? We are one country? Why are we giving
4:06
Speaker 5: even if it is just virtue signaling nonsense and it's
4:09
Speaker 5: not going to change the state of play in these
4:11
Speaker 5: plots of land, which I don't believe for a single second. Otherwise,
4:14
Speaker 5: why do you want it so badly even if nothing
4:17
Speaker 5: is supposedly going to change?
4:19
Speaker 4: Why are you doing it? There's no rhyme or reason
4:22
Speaker 4: to it.
4:23
Speaker 5: And like I say, haven't we got enough native title
4:25
Speaker 5: in this country already?
4:27
Speaker 1: Well, native title is one thing. This is freehold. Yeah,
4:30
Speaker 1: So they have total control of the land.
4:33
Speaker 6: Now.
4:33
Speaker 1: Now part of this land, a lot of it is
4:35
Speaker 1: just open space that is basically unused, but part of
4:37
Speaker 1: it is stock root and part of it is camping ground.
4:41
Speaker 1: Right now you've handed that, you know, what is community
4:44
Speaker 1: land over to an Aboriginal land corporation with freehold title,
4:48
Speaker 1: so they could develop it, they could sell it, they
4:51
Speaker 1: could put a fence around it and stop you from
4:53
Speaker 1: going in there. It's theirs to do with as they wish.
4:57
Speaker 1: I think that's the biggest problem here. Native title is
5:00
Speaker 1: one thing gives you certain rights about being able to
5:02
Speaker 1: use it to hunt and gather and whatever it might be.
5:05
Speaker 1: This is just total There are in certain parts in
5:09
Speaker 1: certain parts of the country there are, but this is
5:12
Speaker 1: just total ownership and control of the land. Now. You know,
5:15
Speaker 1: to Beer has a population of nearly two hundred people.
5:18
Speaker 1: It's not a large town. But as the council notes,
5:21
Speaker 1: if they ever wanted to actually expand, they need that land.
5:25
Speaker 1: And the council owned the land and it's now in
5:28
Speaker 1: the hands of some nebulous Aboriginal land corporation, why should
5:33
Speaker 1: they have any more entitlement to what was publicly owned
5:37
Speaker 1: land than anyone else. If an Aboriginal land corporation can
5:42
Speaker 1: raise the money to go to the council and say
5:44
Speaker 1: we want to buy that plot of land freehold from you,
5:48
Speaker 1: they should have every right to do so, as should
5:50
Speaker 1: any other person who can raise the money to buy it.
5:53
Speaker 1: I don't see how it is anything other than racist
5:57
Speaker 1: to have a system whereby land can be given freehold
6:01
Speaker 1: from the public ownership to a particular racial group, and
6:05
Speaker 1: not just a particular racial group, a corporation that consists
6:09
Speaker 1: of a few people from a particular racial group for
6:13
Speaker 1: zero dollars. I do not know how that is allowed.
6:15
Speaker 3: And on top of that, without any consultation, how can
6:18
Speaker 3: a local government which holds this land in trusteeship for
6:22
Speaker 3: the broader public just simply give it away without reference
6:27
Speaker 3: to the public that they hold it.
6:29
Speaker 2: In trust for.
6:30
Speaker 3: They're working against the very people who they are supposed
6:33
Speaker 3: to be representing.
6:35
Speaker 1: But how does the council not put up a fight?
6:37
Speaker 1: I mean, you said, Springboorg, there's are you know whatever,
6:39
Speaker 1: Just go and talk to the local Aboriginal Land corporation
6:42
Speaker 1: and you can take go on there whatever you want.
6:44
Speaker 1: Why did they give it up in the first place?
6:46
Speaker 1: They should have been fighting about that it is your land,
6:49
Speaker 1: it's the land of the people of two bat.
6:51
Speaker 5: And you mentioned the other plus you mentioned racism. I
6:54
Speaker 5: dare say it's things like this that actually.
6:57
Speaker 4: Stir up bad blood.
7:00
Speaker 5: Other Australians are like, well, fair, go, this doesn't seem
7:04
Speaker 5: fair at all. You're just handing over our There's fourteen
7:07
Speaker 5: more townships waiting to hear how their.
7:10
Speaker 4: Freehold land titles are going to go.
7:12
Speaker 5: We don't know what their fate is yet, but that
7:16
Speaker 5: naturally stirs up very negative sentiment in these communities. In
7:21
Speaker 5: elsewhere where they're like, well, this just isn't fair, and
7:24
Speaker 5: you mean to tell me if we want to do
7:25
Speaker 5: something with that land later on we the ratepayer, the taxpayer,
7:30
Speaker 5: have to buy it back when it was ours. Well
7:33
Speaker 5: it was every Australians in the first place.
7:36
Speaker 3: Here on something really important there with the division that's
7:38
Speaker 3: caused firstly by the decision itself, which is racist, but
7:41
Speaker 3: then the failure to explain it and to give people
7:45
Speaker 3: the benefit of treating them like intelligent sentiment human beings, yes,
7:50
Speaker 3: and explaining it properly rather than they'se throwaway lines like
7:53
Speaker 3: how to be fine, go and talk to them, which
7:55
Speaker 3: really is quite dismissive of people's concerns.
7:58
Speaker 2: So the decision creates disharmed in the community.
8:01
Speaker 3: And then the explanation is like salt in the wound,
8:04
Speaker 3: and so it's just bad on every let.
8:05
Speaker 5: And the secrecy as well, the whole government saying, oh,
8:08
Speaker 5: we can't give you the details of these applications because
8:11
Speaker 5: they're culturally sensitive. Well, this is the town say that
8:15
Speaker 5: I've called home for my entire life. I think that's
8:18
Speaker 5: pretty culturally sensitive for me as well.
8:21
Speaker 4: Wouldn't you say if.
8:22
Speaker 5: You're living in one of these townships, it's absolutely obscene.
8:26
Speaker 1: And you can currently blame the corporations for applying for
8:29
Speaker 1: it either because under law they're allowed to. They're simply
8:31
Speaker 1: following what the law says. The law should be changed.
8:33
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Kamala Harris's interview on Fox Used today,
8:38
Speaker 1: of course, our sister station over in the United States.
8:41
Speaker 1: I think we learned today exactly why Harris has avoided
8:46
Speaker 1: doing any interviews with the potentially I was going to say, ropie,
8:51
Speaker 1: not rope. What's the word I'm looking for us robust.
8:54
Speaker 1: That's a much better word. A potentially robust interview, because
8:57
Speaker 1: she just went to water Basically, Brett Bayer did what
9:00
Speaker 1: we were waiting for, we've all been waiting for for
9:03
Speaker 1: a long time with Kamala Harris, which was simply ask her,
9:06
Speaker 1: you know, how can you justify the fact that you've
9:08
Speaker 1: been vice president for three and a half years and
9:11
Speaker 1: you're now claiming that your presidency would completely change everything?
9:14
Speaker 1: Why are you talking about Donald Trump all the time?
9:16
Speaker 1: All the things you and I have been asking And
9:19
Speaker 1: he put these questions to her, and lo and behold,
9:22
Speaker 1: she could not answer them. Let's go to that first
9:25
Speaker 1: point in the state of the US right now. How
9:28
Speaker 1: does Kamala Harris say that things would change under her
9:31
Speaker 1: even though she's already vice president.
9:34
Speaker 7: They said the country is on the wrong track. If
9:37
Speaker 7: it's on the wrong track, that track follows three and
9:41
Speaker 7: a half years of you being vice president and President
9:44
Speaker 7: Biden being president. That is what they're saying, seventy nine
9:48
Speaker 7: percent of them. Why are they saying that if you're
9:50
Speaker 7: turning the page. You've been in office for three and
9:53
Speaker 7: a half.
9:53
Speaker 8: Years, and Donald Trump has been running for office, but.
9:58
Speaker 1: You've been to personal hellin me off a lot.
10:00
Speaker 9: You and I both know what I'm talking about. You
10:03
Speaker 9: and I both know what I'm actually, what are you
10:05
Speaker 9: talking about?
10:06
Speaker 1: Britt Biden doesn't know and know who I I mean.
10:09
Speaker 1: She was just asked, how's it going to change? Oh,
10:11
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's been running for a long time. What does
10:13
Speaker 1: it matter? Donald Trump hasn't been in charge for the
10:16
Speaker 1: last four years? Has he? You have, Miss Harris, and
10:19
Speaker 1: of course mister Biden. And speaking of mister Biden, she
10:22
Speaker 1: was asked, did any point you have an issue? Will
10:26
Speaker 1: notice anything going wrong with Joe Biden's cognitive ability? Well,
10:30
Speaker 1: once again it's Donald Trump.
10:32
Speaker 7: Somehow, let me ask you this, and you told me
10:36
Speaker 7: many interviewers that Joe Biden was on his game, that
10:39
Speaker 7: ran around circles on his staff. When did you first
10:42
Speaker 7: notice that President Biden's mental faculties appeared diminished?
10:48
Speaker 8: Joe Biden, I have watched in from the Oval office
10:53
Speaker 8: to the situation room, and he has the judgment and
10:57
Speaker 8: the experiment and experienced to do exactly what he has
11:01
Speaker 8: done and making very important decisions.
11:03
Speaker 7: You met with him at least once a week for
11:05
Speaker 7: three and a half years. You didn't have any concerns.
11:10
Speaker 8: I think the American people have a concern about Donald Trump.
11:15
Speaker 1: For all the other one trying to pretend that she
11:18
Speaker 1: never noticed anything wrong with Biden. Oh, you know, he
11:21
Speaker 1: has the ability in the experience. Yeah, that's why you're
11:25
Speaker 1: the presidential candidate for the Democrats and not him. Is
11:28
Speaker 1: that how this works? So, of course, towards the end
11:31
Speaker 1: of the interview, Brett Bayer and by the way, this
11:34
Speaker 1: whole time, Carmala's handlers are in the background waving their
11:38
Speaker 1: arms around, basically saying, in this thing now they can
11:41
Speaker 1: see exactly how bad it's going. So at the end
11:44
Speaker 1: of the interview, Brett Bayer says to her, well, you've
11:47
Speaker 1: talked about Donald Trump, and I hope you got everything
11:49
Speaker 1: you wanted to say across. And well it didn't get
11:52
Speaker 1: any better.
11:54
Speaker 7: I hope you got to say what she wanted to
11:56
Speaker 7: say about Donald Trump.
11:57
Speaker 9: There are a lot of things.
11:58
Speaker 7: That's to say, there are a lot of things that
12:01
Speaker 7: people want to learn about you and your policies.
12:04
Speaker 10: And that's why I invite everyone to go to Kamala
12:06
Speaker 10: Harris dot com and you will see that I have
12:10
Speaker 10: eighty pages of policies that are quite comprehensive and should
12:15
Speaker 10: be accessible to anyone who would like to read them,
12:19
Speaker 10: and it includes what I intend to do about affordable housing.
12:22
Speaker 9: What I intend to do about small businesses? What I do.
12:24
Speaker 7: That's what in our con to see where you were
12:27
Speaker 7: in twenty nineteen and where you are.
12:29
Speaker 9: Now America's military ustrure.
12:31
Speaker 8: We have the most lethal and best fighting force in the.
12:34
Speaker 7: World, Madam Vice President, and they're giving me a hard rap.
12:37
Speaker 9: Well, I thank you for the time.
12:38
Speaker 1: I thank you for the time to meet you.
12:39
Speaker 9: Thank you very much.
12:41
Speaker 1: Go to KamalaHarris dot dot dot dot dot com. I mean,
12:45
Speaker 1: she couldn't even get She forgotten it was to call
12:47
Speaker 1: at for goodness sake. So instead of sitting down in
12:50
Speaker 1: an interview and explaining her policies, she says at the
12:54
Speaker 1: end of the interview, if you want to know what
12:56
Speaker 1: I think, go to my website. There's eighty policies, only
12:59
Speaker 1: a few to peruse at any time, because of course,
13:02
Speaker 1: she can't actually explain them in an interview because she
13:05
Speaker 1: doesn't damn well believe any of them. Here is every
13:09
Speaker 1: time she didn't talk about her own policies and instead
13:12
Speaker 1: talked about Donald Trump.
13:15
Speaker 8: Donald Trump, Donald Trump, Donald Trump, and Donald Trump, Donald Trump,
13:18
Speaker 8: Donald Trump, Donald Trump, Donald Trump, Donald Trump, and Donald
13:22
Speaker 8: Trump Donald Trump. Let's go back to Donald Trump, Donald Trump,
13:27
Speaker 8: Donald Trump, Donald Trump.
13:30
Speaker 1: She's living rent free in that head, isn't he. Mister
13:33
Speaker 1: Trump himself replied on X Today, he said, great job
13:36
Speaker 1: by Brett Bayer in his interview with Lyon Gamala Harris.
13:39
Speaker 1: She has a massive and irredeevable case of Trump derangement syndrome,
13:44
Speaker 1: so bad in fact, that she is barely able to
13:47
Speaker 1: talk about any subject other than the man who had
13:49
Speaker 1: the best economy ever, the strongest border in history, and
13:53
Speaker 1: who has just got the unanimous endorsement of the US
13:56
Speaker 1: Border Patrol. Me he is one for humility, isn't he?
14:00
Speaker 1: The heir endorsement was a tremendous honor. They said that
14:03
Speaker 1: Comrade Kamala did a terrible job, the absolute worst in memory,
14:07
Speaker 1: and can't be allowed to do it again. She's also
14:09
Speaker 1: the worst vice president in history, but hopefully will soon
14:13
Speaker 1: be gone again. Congratulations to Britt Bayer on a tough
14:16
Speaker 1: but very fair interview, one that clearly showed how totally
14:19
Speaker 1: incompetent Kamala is for the good of our nation, her
14:22
Speaker 1: inferior cognitive ability must be tested at once, and it
14:26
Speaker 1: seemed that the only thing she really wanted to talk
14:29
Speaker 1: about was Donald Trump. Because she can't articulate her own policies,
14:33
Speaker 1: and her entire platform seems to be vote for me
14:37
Speaker 1: because I'm not the other guy. Now, that's not enough
14:40
Speaker 1: to get you over the line. Last week, well perhaps so,
14:44
Speaker 1: but it's slightly different this time around. And we've seen
14:47
Speaker 1: the polling in the swing states which is now moving
14:49
Speaker 1: back in Trump's favor. If she wants to turn the
14:52
Speaker 1: dial going around telling people who are currently favoring Trump
14:56
Speaker 1: that they should vote for her because she's not Donald Trump,
15:00
Speaker 1: ain't gonna do the job.
15:01
Speaker 5: And you watch Brett this entire interview. It went for
15:04
Speaker 5: roughly just over half an hour, trying to draw her
15:08
Speaker 5: out on policy questions, and it simply wasn't working. Every
15:12
Speaker 5: single time she would circle back to Donald Trump. Back
15:16
Speaker 5: to Donald Trump. That's all she wanted to talk about there.
15:20
Speaker 5: And even when he pointed it out to her in
15:23
Speaker 5: that last clip that you saw, say, you realize you've
15:26
Speaker 5: just talked about Donald Trump this whole time. I was
15:28
Speaker 5: hoping to learn more about you. And she says, I've
15:32
Speaker 5: got eighty pages of policy.
15:34
Speaker 4: Eighty pages of policy.
15:36
Speaker 5: And you didn't talk about any of that in a
15:38
Speaker 5: half hour interview. Lady and Let's never forget twelve of
15:46
Speaker 5: the last sixteen years the Democrats have been in power.
15:50
Speaker 4: So the fact that all she can say.
15:53
Speaker 5: In reply to every single policy question is bringing it
15:56
Speaker 5: back to Donald Trump just goes to speak to her
15:59
Speaker 5: depth of and how passionate she actually is about affecting
16:03
Speaker 5: any change or how awesome she genuinely thinks her policies are.
16:07
Speaker 4: As anyone running for this job should.
16:09
Speaker 5: Should be able to shake him awake at three am
16:12
Speaker 5: in the morning, and they're ready to fight for their
16:14
Speaker 5: policies and give good, comprehensive explanation as to why that's
16:19
Speaker 5: what they're going to do on any particular topic.
16:21
Speaker 4: Not this woman, And she's.
16:23
Speaker 3: A lost cause that the problem she's got is she
16:25
Speaker 3: is the incumbent who does not want to run on
16:28
Speaker 3: her own records. So all she's got left is I'm
16:32
Speaker 3: not Donald Trump, and that'll play.
16:34
Speaker 2: To a certain group of people, but.
16:37
Speaker 1: She's already got those people in an interview Exactly, in
16:42
Speaker 1: an interview like that, you need to be appealing to
16:44
Speaker 1: people who are not necessarily going to come out and
16:46
Speaker 1: vote right now and get them to come out and
16:48
Speaker 1: vote for you, and telling people that you are not
16:52
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Ain't going to do anything because the people
16:55
Speaker 1: who want to get rid of Trump or don't want
16:57
Speaker 1: him back are already going to come and vote for you.
17:00
Speaker 5: It's a case of know your audience. You're talking to
17:04
Speaker 5: Fox this time, okay, As Caleb said, they're our cousin
17:08
Speaker 5: in the United States of America, so more of a
17:11
Speaker 5: conservative watcher base. And yet all you did was slam
17:14
Speaker 5: Donald Trump, even while knowing most of the people watching
17:18
Speaker 5: probably lean more in his direction than yours, and yet just.
17:22
Speaker 4: Seemed completely clueless. You would have thought her team would
17:26
Speaker 4: have briefed her better.
17:28
Speaker 3: So help me understand this. Because we've just watched that,
17:30
Speaker 3: You've watched it at home. It's pretty obvious that interview
17:33
Speaker 3: is an absolute train wreck, but not everybody thought so.
17:36
Speaker 3: Lucy Turnbull, wife of Malcolm, tweeted this, Why has Kamala
17:40
Speaker 3: Harris been so wary of tough media interviews? She more
17:43
Speaker 3: than held her own on Fox News. You see the
17:46
Speaker 3: human warrior, an advocate within her. So clearly and authentically
17:52
Speaker 3: was Lucy Turnbull watching a different interviewed? What on earth
17:56
Speaker 3: is that? That is peak trunk derangement? Home right there
18:01
Speaker 3: where you live in a different universe.
18:04
Speaker 1: She's's extraordinary. I don't know. I want whatever she's on.
18:07
Speaker 1: Whatever she takes the break in the morning, sign me
18:10
Speaker 1: up for it because I rather like that world. But
18:12
Speaker 1: going back to the point of talking to your audience,
18:15
Speaker 1: I mean, Trump himself has already said he's going to
18:18
Speaker 1: give her a maga hat because she's copied all his policies.
18:22
Speaker 1: She could have just sat there and recited all of
18:24
Speaker 1: the Trump policies that she's stolen in the last few
18:28
Speaker 1: months and said, yeah, I'm going to get rid of
18:30
Speaker 1: taxes on tips and I'm going to build the boarder wall.
18:33
Speaker 1: She could have appealed to the audience so easily because
18:35
Speaker 1: she's stolen all of those policies. And she couldn't even
18:38
Speaker 1: do that because she doesn't believe it. And it's so
18:41
Speaker 1: hard to be convincing in a situation like that if
18:46
Speaker 1: you don't genuinely believe what you're putting down on paper.
18:50
Speaker 1: So she can't actually say it because she's got no
18:53
Speaker 1: conviction behind it.
18:54
Speaker 3: The other problem there is, and let's call that a
18:56
Speaker 3: hostile interview. Okay, Fox is not particularly friendly to the Democrat.
19:00
Speaker 5: Brett wasn't hostile though, who we've been waiting to hear
19:04
Speaker 5: her ask for a very.
19:05
Speaker 3: Long time loll style by virtue of the fact that
19:07
Speaker 3: it was an honest, straightforward interview as opposed of all
19:11
Speaker 3: the other ones she's done. And when you watch even
19:13
Speaker 3: some of the clips we just showed tonight, but if
19:15
Speaker 3: you watch the whole thing, you can literally see the
19:18
Speaker 3: cogs turning in her mind as the question is being asked.
19:21
Speaker 2: It's almost a look of panic, and oh yes, you
19:24
Speaker 2: start to think, if.
19:25
Speaker 3: This woman becomes the leader of the free world, how
19:28
Speaker 3: is she going to deal with Forget Fox News, Jijingping,
19:32
Speaker 3: Vladimir Putin, the ayatoller of Iran and the other phrase
19:38
Speaker 3: she repeated continuously, And a lot of politicians do this
19:41
Speaker 3: and as soon as they say this, you know they're
19:43
Speaker 3: stalling for time, let me be clear.
19:45
Speaker 4: And proceed to not be clear, and then Trump.
19:50
Speaker 3: So that was kind of the debating strategy. The leader
19:56
Speaker 3: of the free world could be this woman. We are
19:58
Speaker 3: all in a lot of trouble. If this is the
20:00
Speaker 3: person representing us to the access of evil.
20:02
Speaker 5: Speaking of being in a lot of trouble, America is
20:06
Speaker 5: in a lot of trouble. If this is how votes
20:08
Speaker 5: are being cast, the video you're about to see is
20:11
Speaker 5: gone a little bit viral online, causing people to ask
20:16
Speaker 5: the obvious question of A. Is this elder abuse? And
20:20
Speaker 5: B how many votes are being cast in this manner?
20:24
Speaker 4: Check it out?
20:26
Speaker 6: Okay, grandma, do you want to vote for the first
20:29
Speaker 6: black woman president ever?
20:32
Speaker 4: Okay?
20:33
Speaker 6: She's a Democrat too. Okay, so I'll show you where
20:37
Speaker 6: it to right. Keep it the pen in your hand
20:41
Speaker 6: and it's right here. Good job, grandma. You got to
20:54
Speaker 6: vote for the first woman president.
20:58
Speaker 4: Would you call that an informed vote? I don't think so.
21:01
Speaker 5: Well. Donald Trump is still on the war path on
21:05
Speaker 5: trans rites in the US. He famously said in twenty
21:08
Speaker 5: twenty two that he was going to cut down on
21:11
Speaker 5: them substantially, even forbidding doctor's access, and he's repeated all this.
21:17
Speaker 5: Any doctors who want to practice transitioning kids while they're
21:22
Speaker 5: still miners, obviously would be blocked from Medicare, from Medicaid,
21:27
Speaker 5: and he would ensure that all federal agencies weren't encouraging
21:31
Speaker 5: people or even teaching miners about the transitioning process. He
21:37
Speaker 5: was recently asked, so what would you do about men
21:40
Speaker 5: in women's sports trans women in women's sports?
21:44
Speaker 4: He had a very short succnct answer. I think you'll
21:47
Speaker 4: approve of it's.
21:49
Speaker 11: A man playing in the game, I mean physically from
21:51
Speaker 11: a musculars say, even if it was a little bit less.
21:54
Speaker 11: Maybe they do war sorts of tests and drugs and
21:56
Speaker 11: everything else. Look at what's happened in swimming. Look at
22:00
Speaker 11: the records being broke.
22:01
Speaker 4: How do you stop it?
22:02
Speaker 2: Do you go to the sports leagues? Do you go
22:05
Speaker 2: to them?
22:05
Speaker 1: You just ban it?
22:06
Speaker 11: The president bans it. You just don't let it happen.
22:12
Speaker 4: Sounds pretty simple.
22:13
Speaker 5: If only we can have someone say something similar here,
22:16
Speaker 5: or a premier, a politician, that would be wonderful.
22:19
Speaker 4: But no, what do we get instead. I love his
22:22
Speaker 4: form on.
22:22
Speaker 5: This particular issue because he's also said this election cycle
22:26
Speaker 5: that he'll cut federal funding to schools who teach critical.
22:31
Speaker 4: Race theory or any kind of what.
22:33
Speaker 5: He calls quote transgender insanity and other inappropriate racial, sexual,
22:40
Speaker 5: or political content to children end quote. So he's being
22:44
Speaker 5: very serious saying, if you are found in your school
22:47
Speaker 5: to be teaching any of this stuff, we'll just cut
22:50
Speaker 5: the funding to you.
22:51
Speaker 4: So we're going to block.
22:52
Speaker 5: These daughters, these doctors from Medicare and medicaid if they're
22:56
Speaker 5: practicing it. I'm just going to outlaw it across the board.
22:59
Speaker 5: All this genre affirming care for children is not going
23:03
Speaker 5: to be happening on my watch period. And as for
23:06
Speaker 5: men competing in women's sports, ban it done fixed.
23:10
Speaker 3: You know a lot of people say it's not that
23:12
Speaker 3: big a deal, you know, so what if occasionally in
23:14
Speaker 3: a sport somewhere, somehow this happens. And we talked a
23:18
Speaker 3: couple of weeks ago about the United Nations spokesperson on
23:22
Speaker 3: Violence towards Women, who said that I was astonished by
23:25
Speaker 3: these figures that the UN found that six hundred female
23:29
Speaker 3: athletes in four hundred competitions over twenty nine different sports
23:33
Speaker 3: had lost more than eight hundred and ninety medals to
23:36
Speaker 3: biological men. So to dismiss this as an anomaly one
23:40
Speaker 3: of those things that happens once in a blue moon,
23:42
Speaker 3: is just not true.
23:43
Speaker 2: And when even the United Nations will.
23:45
Speaker 3: Admit that, you know that, Okay, there you go. With
23:49
Speaker 3: regards to Trump's comments there, it's just so refreshing to
23:52
Speaker 3: hear a politician take a question that you know could
23:55
Speaker 3: be a little dicey, and most politicians duck and weave
23:58
Speaker 3: and try to say something without saying anything in order
24:02
Speaker 3: to offend nobody. I think David Chris Oooley and Queensland
24:05
Speaker 3: has been a textbook example of this over the last week,
24:09
Speaker 3: ducking and weaving around abortion rather than just being straight
24:12
Speaker 3: with people about what he really thinks. Sure, he's just
24:14
Speaker 3: a few weeks out from an election. He's trying to
24:16
Speaker 3: make sure he doesn't rocked the boat. But it's nice
24:18
Speaker 3: to hear a politician who just says exactly what they think, straight.
24:22
Speaker 2: To the point. You can agree or disagree, but at
24:24
Speaker 2: least you know what he thinks. It's nice.
24:26
Speaker 1: Well it was clarity, right, it was an answer. There
24:30
Speaker 1: is a problem, I'm going to fix it. And you
24:32
Speaker 1: so rarely see that in politics these days. And that's
24:36
Speaker 1: Trump's business frame, right. I mean, out in the real world,
24:39
Speaker 1: if there is a problem, you have to find a
24:41
Speaker 1: solution to it. You don't just keep to get to
24:44
Speaker 1: keep dancing around the maypole and hoping that someone comes
24:47
Speaker 1: up with a good idea one day and ah, well
24:49
Speaker 1: if we spend a lot of money on the way
24:51
Speaker 1: getting there, who cares. It's not my money anyway. He's
24:54
Speaker 1: just thinking, well, here is problem, Here is solution. Institute
24:57
Speaker 1: solution now no doubt if he tried to something like that,
25:01
Speaker 1: they'd be complaints all the way up through the courts
25:03
Speaker 1: and whatever to challenge it. But that's fine, that can
25:06
Speaker 1: all play out. At least he's made an effort to
25:08
Speaker 1: actually do something about it, which is so unlike what
25:10
Speaker 1: we see in politics so often these guys.
25:12
Speaker 3: Well, someone needs to do something about freedom of speech
25:15
Speaker 3: in the UK because it continues to come under attack.
25:19
Speaker 3: And this example is just quite shocking the lengths to
25:22
Speaker 3: which the UK government is now going to censor not
25:25
Speaker 3: just people's speech, but even their thoughts. A military veteran
25:29
Speaker 3: has been convicted and fined for praying silently, in other words,
25:34
Speaker 3: talking to Jesus in his mind outside an abortion clinic,
25:39
Speaker 3: but within the buffer zone that has been put in
25:43
Speaker 3: place to stop people protesting or trying to speak to
25:47
Speaker 3: women as they enter an abortion clinic.
25:50
Speaker 2: Now, Adam Smith Connor, his.
25:53
Speaker 3: Child was aborted twenty four years ago, and so he's
25:57
Speaker 3: made a habit of part of just him coming to
25:59
Speaker 3: grips with the hurt and pain of that, to going
26:02
Speaker 3: and standing around fifty meters from an abortion clinic and
26:06
Speaker 3: just talking in his mind to his God about it. Well,
26:10
Speaker 3: that is illegal. As I said, he was charged and fined.
26:15
Speaker 3: He he is describing how upsetting this is as someone
26:20
Speaker 3: who fought for the freedom of his country to now
26:23
Speaker 3: see that same nation penalizing people for their thoughts.
26:28
Speaker 12: Psalm twenty two, verse ten says, when my father and
26:32
Speaker 12: mother forsake me, then the Lord will take care of me.
26:37
Speaker 12: I served our great nation for twenty years as an
26:39
Speaker 12: army reservist. I continue to serve my local community as
26:43
Speaker 12: a physiotherapist and a church volunteer. I never imagined that
26:48
Speaker 12: the nation I love has been so good to me
26:52
Speaker 12: in the past, could turn on me for doing nothing
26:55
Speaker 12: more than an offerer a prayer for my deceased son.
27:00
Speaker 2: It's just quite incredible.
27:01
Speaker 3: But it's even worse than that, because just a couple
27:04
Speaker 3: of weeks ago, the Scottish government announced that anyone who
27:08
Speaker 3: dares to pray or say anything against abortion within a
27:11
Speaker 3: two hundred meter radius, including if your home is within
27:15
Speaker 3: a two hundred meter radius of an abortion clinic, and
27:19
Speaker 3: if you pray in your home and someone reports you,
27:22
Speaker 3: you will be in violation of the law. Or if
27:25
Speaker 3: you were to put up a little sign in the
27:27
Speaker 3: window of your own home saying I don't know unborn
27:30
Speaker 3: babies lives matter, you would be in breach of the law.
27:34
Speaker 3: So this gentleman, who's not the first to be charged
27:37
Speaker 3: for thinking inappropriate thoughts to his own God, in appropriate
27:41
Speaker 3: in the view of the government. This is just the
27:43
Speaker 3: tip of the iceberg as to where governments are now
27:45
Speaker 3: starting to go in terms of clamping down, not just one,
27:49
Speaker 3: as I said, banned speech, but now banned thoughts.
27:54
Speaker 5: Surely you'd think a buffer zone is designed in order
27:57
Speaker 5: that women accessing abortion clinics aren't set upon by protesters
28:03
Speaker 5: waving placards, carrying on in that regard and getting quite
28:08
Speaker 5: up in people's faces and confrontational. This guy had his
28:12
Speaker 5: hands clasped, his head bowed, and his eyes closed.
28:15
Speaker 4: He wasn't kneeling, he was just standing there.
28:18
Speaker 5: He could have been like asleep on his feet. And
28:22
Speaker 5: this is what he was charged for. And it speaks
28:25
Speaker 5: to how militantly these governments one to protect and even encourage.
28:33
Speaker 4: Women to make use of abortion.
28:36
Speaker 5: And I think it is utterly demonic. I'm not ashamed
28:40
Speaker 5: of using that term. There's a mother in the US
28:43
Speaker 5: who has just gone to jail for three and a
28:45
Speaker 5: half years. Her name is Beverly Williams for unlawful assembly.
28:50
Speaker 5: She took part in a pro life event back in
28:53
Speaker 5: twenty twenty, and she's just been sentenced to three and
28:57
Speaker 5: a half years. She posted today on air saying, my
29:01
Speaker 5: husband is now a single parent. Her daughter looks all
29:04
Speaker 5: of five years old, maybe even younger.
29:07
Speaker 4: And this is what Kamala Harris's Department.
29:11
Speaker 5: Of Justice, like I always say the jokes in the name,
29:14
Speaker 5: has done prosecuting her.
29:16
Speaker 4: Who sends a mother, she's a black woman.
29:20
Speaker 5: The photos of her family are so beautiful, and she
29:24
Speaker 5: is going to spend three and a half years behind
29:27
Speaker 5: bars for participating in a pro life event at a
29:30
Speaker 5: plan to put parenthood in New York four years ago.
29:34
Speaker 4: It is utterly obscene. It is disgusting. There is no
29:39
Speaker 4: excuse for this whatsoever.
29:41
Speaker 1: I would have thought that the spirit of the law,
29:43
Speaker 1: as you said, Liz, is to ensure safety. Right, you
29:47
Speaker 1: don't get harangued. You're not going to be assaulted, yelled at, insulted,
29:51
Speaker 1: whatever while you're going to an abortion clinic. If someone
29:55
Speaker 1: is standing there silently praying, I mean it was.
29:57
Speaker 4: A peace for protest.
29:59
Speaker 1: Who who's to know that he's not standing there silently
30:01
Speaker 1: praying saying he loves abortion. You don't know what he's
30:04
Speaker 1: saying in his head. How can you prosecute someone as
30:07
Speaker 1: they have in this case for a thought crime. Well,
30:11
Speaker 1: they've done it, and you can't trust him. If you
30:13
Speaker 1: can't trust him with this sort of thing, I imagine what
30:15
Speaker 1: they're going to do with misinformation and disinformation laws. So
30:18
Speaker 1: they're coming after your thoughts, They're coming after what you're
30:21
Speaker 1: saying online. There will be literally no end to the
30:24
Speaker 1: restriction government wants to put on what you can say,
30:27
Speaker 1: what you can even think now speaking of thinking in
30:31
Speaker 1: a very strange way. Jill Stark is a feminist writer.
30:36
Speaker 1: She was at the age for a very long time.
30:38
Speaker 1: She now writes online to people who subscribe to her
30:42
Speaker 1: writings through Patreon. She has come out and said, well,
30:47
Speaker 1: there is a small problem with men pushing themselves because
30:50
Speaker 1: it is in that toxic masculinity. Can you believe it.
30:54
Speaker 1: There's a bloke called Ned Brockman. Now, he wanted to
30:58
Speaker 1: break a world record by running around the Sydney Olympic
31:02
Speaker 1: Park Athletic Center. His aim was to do one thousand miles,
31:06
Speaker 1: which is one thousand, six hundred and ten kilometers within
31:10
Speaker 1: a certain amount of time. He didn't manage to do that.
31:13
Speaker 1: He got to one thousand, five hundred kilometers, but in
31:16
Speaker 1: the process he raised one point eight million dollars for
31:20
Speaker 1: charity for homelessness. And wouldn't you think this bloke is
31:24
Speaker 1: an everyday hero. He's pushed himself so people can spend money,
31:28
Speaker 1: raise money for homelessness. What better thing could you do
31:32
Speaker 1: for the world. Jill Stark disagrees. She says there's always
31:35
Speaker 1: been something that troubles me about the philosophy he espouses
31:39
Speaker 1: and the message he's sending about what it means to
31:41
Speaker 1: be mentally strong. She wrote, it is a uniquely masculine
31:45
Speaker 1: approach to well being that is less self care and
31:49
Speaker 1: more self flagellation. As I said, she calls this kind
31:54
Speaker 1: of effort raising one point eight million dollars for homeless
31:58
Speaker 1: people for cha by running one thousand kilometers over ten
32:03
Speaker 1: odd d sorry one five hundred kilometers over ten odd days,
32:07
Speaker 1: as rebranded toxic masculinity. I mean, who could possibly look
32:13
Speaker 1: at a bloke trying to do something good for the world,
32:17
Speaker 1: and you know, doing a bit of exercise in the
32:19
Speaker 1: process and say that that's toxic masculinity. If raising nearly
32:23
Speaker 1: two million dollars for homeless people is toxic masculinity, then
32:27
Speaker 1: I'd hate to see what good masculinity looks like.
32:29
Speaker 2: This reminds me of that.
32:31
Speaker 3: Sorry, it reminds me of that old adage no good
32:33
Speaker 3: deed will go up. This poor bloke is just trying
32:37
Speaker 3: to help homeless people get smashed in the paper as
32:40
Speaker 3: somehow he's trying to hide his toxic masculinity. And what
32:44
Speaker 3: about female marathon runners. There's women who are ultra marathon runners.
32:49
Speaker 3: Australia is represented by women who pushed themselves physically to
32:53
Speaker 3: the limit at the Olympic and Commonwealth Games. What are
32:56
Speaker 3: they doing and they engaging in toxic masculinity?
32:58
Speaker 2: How does that work?
32:59
Speaker 3: And this journalist who's an advocate for mental health, which
33:02
Speaker 3: is a very good thing, But how do you advocate
33:05
Speaker 3: for mental health by publicly mocking a bloke for the
33:08
Speaker 3: crime of trying to raise money for homeless people?
33:11
Speaker 4: This discuss me no end. To be honest.
33:13
Speaker 5: Nearly every time I'd say ninety nine percent of the
33:15
Speaker 5: time that someone uses this term toxic masculinity, I read
33:19
Speaker 5: whatever they're talking about and I'm like, more of that, please,
33:22
Speaker 5: I'll tell you what ninety nine percent of the problems
33:24
Speaker 5: in this world can be summed up by the lack
33:28
Speaker 5: of testosterone in our men. Nowadays, it is well said
33:31
Speaker 5: that weak men create hard times and strong men create
33:35
Speaker 5: good times, and it's just an endless cycle of strong
33:38
Speaker 5: men creating good times being ruined by the weak.
33:41
Speaker 4: Men, and so on and on.
33:42
Speaker 5: It goes history a test to this very simple fact
33:46
Speaker 5: and the fact that we're currently in a stage where
33:50
Speaker 5: our men are not doing okay. It's reflected in the
33:53
Speaker 5: educational statistics, it's reflected in our suicide statistics, our mental
33:59
Speaker 5: health statis sticks, and we've still got flogs.
34:02
Speaker 4: Like this woman paying.
34:04
Speaker 5: Out on a guy is just trying to do a
34:06
Speaker 5: good deed, and somehow this is toxic masculinity.
34:11
Speaker 4: I've absolutely had it.
34:13
Speaker 1: But did she miss the forty hour Famine? Like you know,
34:17
Speaker 1: it was around when we were kids, raised money for
34:20
Speaker 1: World Hunger or whatever it was. There wasn't just boys
34:23
Speaker 1: pushing him as it was everyone. You know, gol oh,
34:25
Speaker 1: I'm not going to wear makeup for forty hours or
34:27
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna eat for forty hours or whatever. It
34:30
Speaker 1: was right to raise money.
34:31
Speaker 5: So mum would get me Barley sugars.
34:35
Speaker 1: To raise money if it's not a new concept, like
34:37
Speaker 1: pushing yourself to raise money for charity is not a
34:40
Speaker 1: new concept. But now it's toxic masculinity.
34:43
Speaker 3: The problem here is when you make one narrative your
34:46
Speaker 3: entire worldview so toxic masculinity, and then you view every
34:50
Speaker 3: event through that prism, you just end up ruining everything
34:53
Speaker 3: and bankrupting everything before we go to a break. The
34:57
Speaker 3: Victorian government, as you know, made a big deal about
35:00
Speaker 3: hosting the Commonwealth Games in twenty twenty six. It's one
35:03
Speaker 3: of the reasons why they convinced so many people in
35:05
Speaker 3: regional Victoria to vote for them at.
35:07
Speaker 2: The last election.
35:09
Speaker 3: Well that was soon canceled after they realized it was
35:12
Speaker 3: going to be too expensive, which gave rise to questions
35:15
Speaker 3: about process and about their seriousness ever hosting the Games
35:20
Speaker 3: at all. So the opposition have been asking for documents
35:24
Speaker 3: relating to those decisions to be handed over and the
35:27
Speaker 3: government have said, no, cabinet confidentiality, we can't do it.
35:31
Speaker 3: The process then is that the documents go to an
35:34
Speaker 3: independent legal arbitra who looks at them and decides whether
35:37
Speaker 3: or not the claim to keep them secret is fair.
35:40
Speaker 3: But the government in Victoria aren't even willing to let
35:42
Speaker 3: an independent legal arbiter.
35:44
Speaker 4: Look at these tells me how bad they are.
35:48
Speaker 3: We're going to quote a Greens MP and we're going
35:50
Speaker 3: to agree with her wholeheartedly.
35:51
Speaker 2: Sarah Mansfield said.
35:53
Speaker 3: The other issue is that if you don't think your
35:55
Speaker 3: claims are going to hold up to scrutiny, what are
35:57
Speaker 3: you then afraid of being discovered as a result?
36:00
Speaker 1: Indeed, good point.
36:02
Speaker 3: What is the Victorian government hiding that they're keeping three
36:05
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty three documents, ministerial notes, cabinet briefings, costings
36:11
Speaker 3: secret and won't let the Victorian public see them. Don't
36:14
Speaker 3: forget JACINTHA Allen was the minister responsible for this that day.
36:19
Speaker 2: Might be one of the reasons.
36:20
Speaker 4: Where did these people get off it? Literally, it boggles
36:24
Speaker 4: the mind. They work for us. Don't forget that they
36:28
Speaker 4: squander our money. They work for us.
36:31
Speaker 5: And whenever we say we want to see the read
36:33
Speaker 5: receipts of this massive cock up, because that's exactly what
36:37
Speaker 5: it was, they're like, oh, for confidentiality, reasons, for cultural sensitivity, reasons,
36:43
Speaker 5: for any reason that they want to pull out of
36:46
Speaker 5: thin air.
36:47
Speaker 4: We can't tell you excuse me.
36:50
Speaker 1: You work for us.
36:52
Speaker 5: You are only in this position because we elected you.
36:56
Speaker 5: More was the fool for us. We trusted you to
36:58
Speaker 5: do this job with some integrity. You've proved you haven't.
37:02
Speaker 5: This government has got to go. I can't believe victorians
37:06
Speaker 5: elected them again. So in some ways you have to
37:09
Speaker 5: say you're just getting what you're voted for. It's more
37:11
Speaker 5: of the same Victorians, but it is eye watering. I
37:15
Speaker 5: don't know why we don't take to the streets more
37:17
Speaker 5: often and just say you cannot get away with this
37:20
Speaker 5: kind of lack of transparency.
37:22
Speaker 1: There's one reason that I don't want to reveal what's
37:25
Speaker 1: in those documents. As you said, Alan was the Minister
37:28
Speaker 1: for the delivery of the Commonwealth Games. They may well
37:31
Speaker 1: be things in those documents that would end her premiership.
37:33
Speaker 1: It would roll her.
37:34
Speaker 3: Ro We're going to go to a break, but stick
37:36
Speaker 3: around when we look at what's making news tomorrow.
37:38
Speaker 2: Our prices continue to rize, and.
37:41
Speaker 3: The Elbanezi's diary is in this array, and a whole
37:43
Speaker 3: lot more that's coming up in just a moment. Okay,
37:48
Speaker 3: let's take a sneak peek at tomorrow's newspapers. Liz, you've
37:50
Speaker 3: got the Tasmanian Mercury.
37:52
Speaker 4: I do, indeed and get a load of this story.
37:56
Speaker 4: It's so pathetic. Unjust desserts. The Big Splash reads.
38:00
Speaker 5: Government dinner canceled after restauranture criticized liberal policy. The Premier
38:07
Speaker 5: and a senior minister have apologized to a Lon Sisteon
38:09
Speaker 5: restaurant owner after a liberal staff are canceled a football
38:13
Speaker 5: function because the owner spoke at a press conference the
38:16
Speaker 5: day before with labor leader Dean Winter about the spirit
38:20
Speaker 5: of Tasmania fairies.
38:22
Speaker 4: Debarcle? Well it was a debarcle? Is the guy not
38:25
Speaker 4: allowed to speak to a.
38:27
Speaker 5: Labor leader about it without having a booking canceled at
38:31
Speaker 5: his restaurant because you're like.
38:32
Speaker 4: How dare you associate with them? This is so childish?
38:37
Speaker 4: What is this grade three?
38:39
Speaker 1: Well it maybe we'll be childish, but aren't they within
38:41
Speaker 1: their rights to say we don't want to spend money
38:44
Speaker 1: with someone who's got a press conference with the labor leader?
38:47
Speaker 1: Is Is that? What's wrong with that? I don't know
38:48
Speaker 1: what the problem is.
38:49
Speaker 2: It's a pretty bad president.
38:50
Speaker 3: You're going to punish business people exact they dare to
38:54
Speaker 3: criticize the government.
38:55
Speaker 1: But it's the same as I don't spend money with
38:57
Speaker 1: a business who's ethos I don't agree with. Why would
39:00
Speaker 1: they spend their money with a bloke who's just criticized.
39:03
Speaker 3: Because they're supposed to represent all Tasmanians, not just the
39:06
Speaker 3: ones that they like.
39:10
Speaker 4: It's like, oh, you were seen with someone we don't like.
39:13
Speaker 4: We're not coming to your restaurant anymore.
39:16
Speaker 1: Groa.
39:16
Speaker 3: The other part of this story that I just don't
39:18
Speaker 3: believe is a liberal staff at canceled the function and
39:23
Speaker 3: the Minister knew nothing about it.
39:24
Speaker 2: Are you serious?
39:25
Speaker 3: They canceled a major function twenty four hours beforehand and
39:29
Speaker 3: the Minister didn't know about it.
39:31
Speaker 2: He was informed later, presumably.
39:33
Speaker 1: Live minister for long lunches.
39:36
Speaker 3: Maybe let's go to the front page of tomorrow's Herald's
39:40
Speaker 3: Sun High Prices power on is the headline that will
39:44
Speaker 3: surprise absolutely nobody. Victoria's wholesale electricity price rose by more
39:49
Speaker 3: than all mainland states over the past year, dampening prospects.
39:54
Speaker 3: That's an understatement of real relief. In twenty twenty five,
39:58
Speaker 3: the inspects aware we had any The increase was due
40:02
Speaker 3: to a combination of factors, including variability in wind generation.
40:08
Speaker 2: Hang on a second, that's a surprise to me.
40:10
Speaker 3: You mean the wind doesn't blow beautifully I instantly and
40:15
Speaker 3: colder winter weather, which meant that when the wind wasn't blowing,
40:18
Speaker 3: people wanted electricity but there was none. Now the Australian
40:22
Speaker 3: are reporting tomorrow speaking of wholesale electricity prices year on year,
40:27
Speaker 3: they're up this year in Tasmania by two hundred and
40:30
Speaker 3: ninety percent, by one hundred and fourteen percent in Victoria,
40:34
Speaker 3: and by seventy six percent in South Australia and as
40:38
Speaker 3: the Herald Sun are reporting, with more increases expected in
40:42
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five.
40:44
Speaker 2: So the hits just keep on coming.
40:47
Speaker 1: Let's go back to Anthony Albanizi before the twenty twenty
40:51
Speaker 1: two elections, shall we? What did he say? Let's say
40:54
Speaker 1: it all in Unison. He was going to take how
40:56
Speaker 1: much off of your power bill? It was two hundred
41:00
Speaker 1: seventy five dollars promise, repeated, yes, seven time exactly. See
41:07
Speaker 1: how well that's going. You haven't had any reduction in
41:12
Speaker 1: your power Bila, And of course you'll come election time
41:15
Speaker 1: he'll say, well, but I gave you three hundred dollars
41:17
Speaker 1: off your power bill and then ten your plympus sect
41:20
Speaker 1: will say what she said before, which as well, your
41:22
Speaker 1: power bill would have gone to even further your word
41:25
Speaker 1: in gouvernment, I mean, please, it is absolutely pathetic. They
41:29
Speaker 1: absolutely promised they would reduce power bills and they have
41:33
Speaker 1: done nothing of the sort because they have invested further
41:37
Speaker 1: in renewable energy that simply is not up to scratch.
41:40
Speaker 1: It is so expensive, despite the fact we're continually told
41:44
Speaker 1: it is the cheapest, foremost in cheapest form of energy available,
41:47
Speaker 1: and they we don't have any and they refuse to
41:51
Speaker 1: entertain the idea of nuclear energy, which as we know,
41:54
Speaker 1: is a mission free. It is an absolute joke energy
41:58
Speaker 1: policy in this country. And as we talked to last night,
42:01
Speaker 1: the global demand for coal is the highest it has
42:05
Speaker 1: ever been, and here we have massive deposits of the
42:08
Speaker 1: stuff in this country and we won't burn it for
42:11
Speaker 1: our own energy, but we quite happily send it overseas
42:15
Speaker 1: so other people can burn it.
42:16
Speaker 2: And you mean the Chinese communist exactly.
42:21
Speaker 1: It's cheap available energy and we won't use it, but
42:24
Speaker 1: we're haaving for other people to use it. Try and
42:26
Speaker 1: make it make sense.
42:27
Speaker 4: Well, can we anymore? Anyway?
42:28
Speaker 5: We've blown up so many of Well, that's right, Commission,
42:32
Speaker 5: they really made sure they burnt our bridges on that regard.
42:35
Speaker 4: We're going into green energy, we're leaving you know it.
42:38
Speaker 1: And now the state government are having to pay the
42:40
Speaker 1: coal fard pass stations to stay open because there isn't
42:43
Speaker 1: enough renewable energy to keep the lights on them. So
42:47
Speaker 1: let's go to the Daily Telegraph tomorrow where there is
42:49
Speaker 1: a story that is on the front of many of
42:51
Speaker 1: the papers.
42:52
Speaker 2: Tomorrow.
42:52
Speaker 1: Report reveals Nine's darkest secrets. Toxic TV is the headline.
42:58
Speaker 1: A bombshell report into the culture media giant Nine Entertainment
43:01
Speaker 1: has found a systemic issue with abuse of power and authority, bullying, discrimination,
43:06
Speaker 1: and sexual harassment, driven by a lack of accountability and
43:10
Speaker 1: trust in its leadership. The problems went beyond the TV newsrooms,
43:13
Speaker 1: with respondents in both the radio and publishing divisions also
43:16
Speaker 1: reporting they had experienced bullying. Now, part of this report
43:20
Speaker 1: says that a quarter of people working at the nine
43:24
Speaker 1: network have suffered sexual harassment of some form. I mean,
43:30
Speaker 1: it is shocking stuff and of course they will now
43:33
Speaker 1: have to respond. Many people at nine have already sort
43:36
Speaker 1: of paid the price for it. The chairman, former chairman
43:39
Speaker 1: Peedi Costello of course fell on his sword. The CEO
43:43
Speaker 1: is leaving though that is supposedly not linked to any
43:47
Speaker 1: of this. There will be in introspection I suppose going
43:51
Speaker 1: on at nine now. But how many other companies across
43:54
Speaker 1: Australia would tonight be looking at these headlines and going
43:58
Speaker 1: God forbid we ever did a similar report into ourselves.
44:02
Speaker 1: This isn't just a NINE problem. I think it needs
44:05
Speaker 1: to be seen. This probably exists in many other businesses
44:08
Speaker 1: across the country. This is only scratching the surface.
44:11
Speaker 5: Can you imagine how relieved ABC is right now after
44:15
Speaker 5: the last few surveys they did one on bullying, sexual harassment,
44:19
Speaker 5: racism in the workplace. The results that came back were
44:22
Speaker 5: absolutely eye watering. And now nine's come along and been
44:26
Speaker 5: like hoh my bear. So ABC right now is polishing
44:30
Speaker 5: their halo going well, at least we're not nine, Not
44:34
Speaker 5: that that's an excuse for anything to the splash of
44:36
Speaker 5: the Australia Now.
44:38
Speaker 4: Alban Easy stuffs.
44:39
Speaker 5: Up diary royally tell us more Alban Easy will become
44:44
Speaker 5: the first Australian Prime minister in decades to miss the
44:47
Speaker 5: swearing in of a new Indonesian president skipping the inauguration
44:51
Speaker 5: of the country's new leader amid a scheduling clash with
44:55
Speaker 5: King Charles's visit to Australia.
44:59
Speaker 4: Is it just me or do you go given how
45:02
Speaker 4: much of a republican you are.
45:04
Speaker 5: You're one Australia to become a republic You've got your
45:08
Speaker 5: like a republic a minister as soon as you made
45:11
Speaker 5: a cabinet I would have thought he'd just go to
45:14
Speaker 5: Indonesia and be like, sorry.
45:15
Speaker 4: Can't miss this, best regards King Charles.
45:18
Speaker 1: Have these people never heard of a plane and a diary?
45:22
Speaker 12: Right?
45:22
Speaker 1: It's the same thing with the premiers saying that they
45:25
Speaker 1: couldn't possibly go to Canberra on Monday to meet with
45:28
Speaker 1: King Charles and Queen Camilla because we've got cabinet meetings
45:32
Speaker 1: to a teen I mean, move the bloody cabinet meeting
45:35
Speaker 1: to six am and get on a plane and.
45:38
Speaker 4: Go to Tandale. Who in a republic?
45:40
Speaker 1: That's why I know. But it's just pathetic, like could
45:43
Speaker 1: he not find a way to attend both events? You're
45:46
Speaker 1: the Prime Minister of Heaven, say make it happen.
45:49
Speaker 3: And to only realize this at the last moment shows
45:52
Speaker 3: just what the shamozzle it is that the Albanezy government.
45:55
Speaker 2: Is absolutely accent drone. There's one more story list, waul
45:59
Speaker 2: we go to that.
46:00
Speaker 4: Yes there is LMP pro lifeer breaks ranked so no.
46:04
Speaker 4: This close to an election.
46:06
Speaker 5: One of David chris Afooley's self described pro life candidates
46:10
Speaker 5: declared at a polling booth this week that she wanted
46:12
Speaker 5: abortion laws changed, but quote, I can't say anything end
46:16
Speaker 5: quote until after the Liberal National Party wins the state election.
46:21
Speaker 5: You gotta feel sorry for this lady. She's at a
46:23
Speaker 5: polling booth. She's making conversation with everyday people. No doubt
46:28
Speaker 5: they asked her about this because it's a point of interest,
46:30
Speaker 5: one that CHRISA.
46:31
Speaker 4: Fouley has just skated around. Doesn't want to touch it.
46:34
Speaker 5: With a ten foot poll for obvious reasons, and someone
46:37
Speaker 5: skilled on her. She's been overheard having a conversation.
46:41
Speaker 4: Now it's on the front page of the Astralisy.
46:43
Speaker 2: Here's the lesson.
46:44
Speaker 4: If you can't have for being pro life, I'm with you, lady.
46:46
Speaker 3: You can't say anything till after the election. Don't say
46:49
Speaker 3: anything until after the election. We're going to go to
46:52
Speaker 3: a break when we come back. A guy complains to
46:54
Speaker 3: police that he's been assaulted. But the CCTV foot it
46:57
Speaker 3: shows Paul is not what it seems.
47:00
Speaker 2: I'm up in a month.
47:03
Speaker 3: Well, of course, at the weekend the Bathist one thousand
47:06
Speaker 3: race was run and it was a great race. But
47:09
Speaker 3: one of the most interesting things happened not during the race,
47:12
Speaker 3: but in the wee hours of the morning after.
47:15
Speaker 1: Indeed, spare a thought for this guy, young fella. He's
47:19
Speaker 1: an engineer with the Erebus Racing team, which of course
47:23
Speaker 1: one Bathurst with the Brodie Kostecki. Now, they all went
47:27
Speaker 1: to the pub after the race and celebrated as you
47:30
Speaker 1: would imagine, and at about four in the morning he
47:33
Speaker 1: was going back to his hotel room and he alleged
47:37
Speaker 1: that he was assaulted on the way through. Well, the
47:40
Speaker 1: coppers went back and had a look at the CCTV
47:43
Speaker 1: footage and they found that, in fact, he wasn't assaulted.
47:47
Speaker 1: He'd beaten himself up. Yes, the CCTV footage showed him
47:52
Speaker 1: punching himself in the face before he hit the ground. Now,
47:57
Speaker 1: I don't know how he came up with the idea,
47:59
Speaker 1: you can see some of the images here that he
48:02
Speaker 1: had been assaulted. I gotta tell you. I've been pissed
48:05
Speaker 1: once or twice in my life, but I don't think
48:07
Speaker 1: I've ever been I punched myself in the face, fell
48:12
Speaker 1: down on the footpath, and then stood up affterwards when
48:15
Speaker 1: who wanted to punched me? Like? He's had one hell
48:18
Speaker 1: of a night, this guy.
48:19
Speaker 3: You know, when someone says something stupid and someone says them,
48:22
Speaker 3: give yourself an uppercut.
48:23
Speaker 2: I mean, but I mean.
48:26
Speaker 3: The crazy thing is the race team Erebus was so
48:29
Speaker 3: concerned they actually offered a reward for anyone who could
48:32
Speaker 3: provide information about the assailants.
48:35
Speaker 4: Well, he claimed that three men had set upon him
48:38
Speaker 4: and done this.
48:39
Speaker 5: The poor kid, He must have just been desperately looking
48:41
Speaker 5: for a reason to explain away his injuries.
48:44
Speaker 4: But why wouldn't you just say I fell over? It
48:46
Speaker 4: was four am, guys, we had a lot of drinks. No,
48:49
Speaker 4: he comes up with this fanciful tale.
48:52
Speaker 2: There was an annoying fly on my nose and I
48:54
Speaker 2: was trying to get rid of it.
48:56
Speaker 1: He could have just fallen off a box like.
49:00
Speaker 2: Excuses.
49:00
Speaker 3: That's it from us, But stick around coming up in
49:02
Speaker 3: just a moment, just read a penny
