- 0:11Speaker 1: Is the gold reform.
- 0:14Speaker 2: Tonight.
- 0:15Speaker 3: How Donald Trump will change America and the world when
- 0:18Speaker 3: it's sworn in tonight. For one, there's going to be
- 0:21Speaker 3: a lot less moaning. How Tennis supersar Novak Djokovic once
- 0:25Speaker 3: again brings out the worst of Australia. Plus the Abbezi
- 0:29Speaker 3: government splashes another two billion dollars against the wall, trying
- 0:32Speaker 3: to fix the damage caused by its green energy scam.
- 0:37Speaker 3: No wonder, three more polls say he's now behind the
- 0:40Speaker 3: Liberals also tonight. This tew hatred is getting so dangerous,
- 0:44Speaker 3: But still our politicians are too scared to turn off
- 0:47Speaker 3: the immigration tap and the madness of a entity politics.
- 0:51Speaker 3: Midwives now told to learn about white privilege before they
- 0:57Speaker 3: deliver babies. But first, today we saw how we've been
- 1:02Speaker 3: lied to. Hamas released the first three Jewish hostages it's
- 1:07Speaker 3: been holding since it attacked Israel four hundred and seventy
- 1:10Speaker 3: one days ago. And now we know how we've been
- 1:13Speaker 3: lied to by almost everyone Hamas, the media and Israel activists,
- 1:17Speaker 3: the UN, our government, even Israel. And we also know
- 1:21Speaker 3: that Donald Trump, who's taking the credit for the sausage
- 1:24Speaker 3: deal ahead of his inauguration tonight, main. In fact, they've
- 1:27Speaker 3: just sown the seeds for more slaughter because Hamas lives.
- 1:32Speaker 3: Hamas says, it's one and worse. Hamas still rules in Gaza.
- 1:39Speaker 2: Now.
- 1:39Speaker 3: Our politicians told us they wouldn't let that happen, but
- 1:43Speaker 3: today we saw the have Israel has betrayed, and so
- 1:47Speaker 3: to any Palestinians who want democracy at last. Of course,
- 1:50Speaker 3: the media is to day full of moving pictures of
- 1:53Speaker 3: the release of the three Jewish women, all civilians, one
- 1:56Speaker 3: who'd had two of her fingers shot off by her
- 1:58Speaker 3: mask when they attacked Kibbutz. But now they are safe
- 2:02Speaker 3: at last.
- 2:08Speaker 2: Yes, yes, so that's wonderful.
- 2:20Speaker 3: Just ninety five or so hostages to go, although third
- 2:24Speaker 3: of them believed to be dead. But this release, yes,
- 2:28Speaker 3: that's the good part. But it's the only good part
- 2:31Speaker 3: of this cease far I deal with Hamas, and I
- 2:33Speaker 3: say that not just because that in return Israel muss
- 2:37Speaker 3: over the next six weeks, in exchange for thirty three
- 2:41Speaker 3: of the Jewish hostages, release up to two thousand Palestinians,
- 2:45Speaker 3: including murderers and terrorists. I mean released terrorists, including Sakaria
- 2:51Speaker 3: Zubebi whose many terror attacks on Israel included a bombing
- 2:54Speaker 3: that killed six people, and Marmood Abawada, who murdered forty
- 2:59Speaker 3: five people when he blew up a bus in Jerusalem,
- 3:03Speaker 3: and Mahmoud Atala, who murdered a Palestinian woman, a Palestinian
- 3:07Speaker 3: woman he accused the cooperating with Israel. Now, let's say
- 3:13Speaker 3: only half these three Palestinians a thousand are terrorists or
- 3:17Speaker 3: sympathizer from Hamasa or other terrorists groups. There's still one
- 3:20Speaker 3: thousand recruits to resume the jihad against Israel. And it's
- 3:26Speaker 3: a reward for Hamas taking hostages in their October seven
- 3:30Speaker 3: attack and an incentive to take more next time. Hamasa
- 3:34Speaker 3: and his supporters and guards were even saying exactly that
- 3:37Speaker 3: on Hamas television today.
- 3:40Speaker 4: Willie Mail Karam kamsusitin have hed Endi la wallah Hullah
- 3:48Speaker 4: in Nibavdi on the agent Phalastine will Asa.
- 3:54Speaker 3: And I wonder Hamas leaders say they've now won. It
- 3:56Speaker 3: doesn't matter to them that Gaza is in ruins because
- 3:59Speaker 3: of the war they started, and it doesn't matter to
- 4:01Speaker 3: them that tens of thousands of Palestinians are dead. What
- 4:05Speaker 3: matters is that they have killed Jews and they will
- 4:08Speaker 3: again when they can. As Buehamas leader has just openly said.
- 4:14Speaker 5: Laom wally sail, what's what's that?
- 4:23Speaker 2: That's marka well mark. I'm in oktober, I mean in
- 4:35Speaker 2: jazz and asked, but I said, we've been lied to.
- 4:39Speaker 3: Let me now show you the footage from today, the
- 4:41Speaker 3: release of those three hostages, that exposes those lies. First,
- 4:45Speaker 3: look at these celebrations by Palestinians in Gaza. A lot
- 4:49Speaker 3: of nice haircuts, by the way, a lot of well
- 4:51Speaker 3: fed people. But didn't journalists in the UN, officials in
- 4:55Speaker 3: our nation's officials actually claim Israel had committed genocide there,
- 4:59Speaker 3: that israel I was deliberately starving Palestinians to death, arrest warrants.
- 5:03Speaker 2: For the prime minister.
- 5:05Speaker 3: This is the first war I know of where supposed
- 5:08Speaker 3: victims of genocide looked so healthy and claimed they actually won.
- 5:13Speaker 3: Then look from where the Hamas gunmen emerged, one standing
- 5:17Speaker 3: on a Red Cross vehicle like he owned it, happy
- 5:20Speaker 3: to use it as cover, and outside the NASA Medical
- 5:23Speaker 3: complex in Gaza, the big building behind them, the building
- 5:26Speaker 3: Hamas once fought from and which we were told was
- 5:29Speaker 3: destroyed by Israel, destroyed and with mass graves outside, said
- 5:34Speaker 3: our ABC in the United Nations, another fake Israeli war crime.
- 5:39Speaker 3: We were also told by our government and anti Israel
- 5:42Speaker 3: activists of the Maasterist group which controls Garza doesn't that
- 5:46Speaker 3: doesn't represent Palestinians there. The Albanize government was so sure
- 5:51Speaker 3: of that that it gave three thousand tourist visas to
- 5:55Speaker 3: Palestinians from Gaza last year without any real security checks
- 6:00Speaker 3: on them. It looked today how the crowns and Gaza
- 6:04Speaker 3: mob the convoy taking these three young women back to freedom,
- 6:08Speaker 3: threatening the women, abusing them, celebrating the Hamas gunmen and
- 6:12Speaker 3: claiming victory.
- 6:14Speaker 2: That women even had to walk.
- 6:16Speaker 3: Past a huge phalanx of Hamas gunmen to get to
- 6:19Speaker 3: the Red Cross, one final act of mass intimidation. And
- 6:24Speaker 3: in the streets there rang a chant to kill the
- 6:28Speaker 3: Jews Kaiba Kaiba yayahood, a popular warning to Jews for
- 6:33Speaker 3: the armies of Islam will slaughter them again as they
- 6:37Speaker 3: were slaughtered the Battle of Kaiba fourteen hundred years ago.
- 6:41Speaker 3: Hoi Hamas even posted a slick propaganda video of its
- 6:54Speaker 3: gunman releasing the three women and making the Red Cross
- 6:56Speaker 3: sign for them, just to show who's large and in
- 6:59Speaker 3: charge in Gaza. It is Hamas. Now we were promised
- 7:05Speaker 3: to us would never be allowed to run Gaza under
- 7:08Speaker 3: any deal that they didn't represent Palaestinians at all.
- 7:12Speaker 6: Tamas can play no role. This is an organization that
- 7:16Speaker 6: is the enemy not just of Israel, but the enemy
- 7:20Speaker 6: of the interests of the Palestinian people.
- 7:24Speaker 3: And meanwhile, Israel told us it had virtually destroyed Hamas. Really,
- 7:29Speaker 3: yet we now see Hamas Gunman everywhere almost making cease
- 7:34Speaker 3: far a deal, making the red Cross sign for the
- 7:36Speaker 3: female hostages, parading the streets, being celebrated by Palestinians. So
- 7:41Speaker 3: who now is going to go in and disarm Amas
- 7:45Speaker 3: take away its power. I mean, it's diminished power, but
- 7:49Speaker 3: it's still there under the Ceasefar deal that Trump forces
- 7:52Speaker 3: on Israel. Israeli troops can't do it. They've got to
- 7:55Speaker 3: pull back to near the border with Israel. So who
- 7:58Speaker 3: will stop Hamas Gunman from now taking power in Gaza
- 8:02Speaker 3: back again? Albaneziasn't put up his hand. Donald Trump hasn't.
- 8:08Speaker 3: Trump just wanted this still done in time for his inauguration.
- 8:11Speaker 3: Make Trump great again. If it doesn't make Israel safe,
- 8:16Speaker 3: say sad. So here we are a muss is still
- 8:19Speaker 3: the power in Gaza. As Israel pulls out Gaza, destroyed
- 8:23Speaker 3: by its war, will now be rebuilt with our money,
- 8:26Speaker 3: the money of the West. And Israel, stopped by the
- 8:30Speaker 3: West from winning a complete victory in Gaza, must now
- 8:34Speaker 3: wait for the next war. Wonderful, the three hostages have
- 8:37Speaker 3: been released, but at what terrible price? Okay, so this
- 8:46Speaker 3: is far in the Middle East. Who will now bring
- 8:49Speaker 3: peace to Australia. In the war here against Jews, much
- 8:53Speaker 3: of it fought, it seems, by people we have imported.
- 8:58Speaker 3: The latest example the fire bombing, vandalizing last Friday of
- 9:01Speaker 3: cars painted with Jew hating slogans and the vandalizing of
- 9:05Speaker 3: a house is Sydney's Dover Heights, recently owned by Alex Richman,
- 9:10Speaker 3: who's headed the Executive Council of Australian Jury. This Jew
- 9:14Speaker 3: hatred is getting so secrecy. Jews getting bashed. We see
- 9:17Speaker 3: their children menace, We see wills and hate preachers calling
- 9:21Speaker 3: for Jews to be killed. We see synagogues attack them, burned.
- 9:24Speaker 3: You would think this was Germany in the nineteen thirties,
- 9:27Speaker 3: And you ask what's coming next? I mean murder, I
- 9:32Speaker 3: was usual Leader Peter Dutton today said, well that's it.
- 9:35Speaker 3: We need new laws the jail people committing anti Semitic
- 9:38Speaker 3: attacks for a minimum of six years.
- 9:41Speaker 7: I give this absolute commitment to the Australian people that
- 9:45Speaker 7: if elected as Prime Minister, we will provide the resources,
- 9:49Speaker 7: we will provide the legislation, and we will provide the
- 9:53Speaker 7: will to stamp out anti Semitism in our country and
- 9:56Speaker 7: to send a very clear message that that is not
- 9:59Speaker 7: going to be taller in any form whatsoever, and that
- 10:02Speaker 7: will happen from day one.
- 10:05Speaker 2: For the Prime Minister, Dodge saying whether he agreed that
- 10:08Speaker 2: it seemed he didn't.
- 10:10Speaker 6: Well, you can never legislate for the behavior of twenty
- 10:17Speaker 6: seven million Australians. What you need to do is to
- 10:20Speaker 6: build social cohesion.
- 10:23Speaker 3: Well, how about at least slashing immigration from countries where
- 10:26Speaker 3: jee hatred is the norm. How about cracking down on
- 10:29Speaker 3: hate preachers. How about the government not treating Israel as
- 10:33Speaker 3: a war criminal regime. In fact, Israel's Deputy Foreign Minister,
- 10:37Speaker 3: Sharon Haskell has blasted Albanize's Attorney General Mark Drayfus, saying
- 10:42Speaker 3: she emphasized to him on his visit to Israel last
- 10:45Speaker 3: week was pretending to say, oh listen, I'm Jewish and
- 10:48Speaker 3: our government is really for Israel, she said. She emphasized
- 10:52Speaker 3: him Israel's deep concern regarding the shocking rise of anti
- 10:55Speaker 3: Semitism in Australia, and they're clearly in effectual response to
- 10:58Speaker 3: Australian government. He said, there is no doubt that this
- 11:01Speaker 3: has been caused in part the Australian government's ongoing campaign
- 11:04Speaker 3: against Israel. They saw Drafus coming joining me is the
- 11:08Speaker 3: panel Michael Kroger, former Victorian Liberal president, and David Elliott,
- 11:11Speaker 3: former New South Wales Liberal minister.
- 11:14Speaker 2: Michael Kraiger, good to see you back on the show
- 11:16Speaker 2: again this year.
- 11:17Speaker 3: How embarrassing is it for Drefus to fly to Israel
- 11:21Speaker 3: to announce that he is Jewish and the Albanizi governments
- 11:23Speaker 3: therefore Israel's friend, and then get this.
- 11:27Speaker 8: Whack Well, Sharon Haskell said what everyone out in Israel's thinking.
- 11:33Speaker 8: I mean, Andrew, this government just hasn't been anti Israel.
- 11:37Speaker 8: They're anti Jewish. I mean this notion of Zionism and
- 11:41Speaker 8: Israel are somehow separate from people who are Jewish. I
- 11:45Speaker 8: mean the primisy of Israel's Jewish. It was established as
- 11:47Speaker 8: a Jewish state. The president's Jewish, the whole cabinet are Jewish,
- 11:50Speaker 8: eighty percent or more of the population are Jewish. It's
- 11:52Speaker 8: a Jewish state, right, It's made up of Jews. And
- 11:56Speaker 8: so when you criticize the Israeli government, you are criticizing
- 12:00Speaker 8: Jews the Jewish administration of their country. You are basically
- 12:04Speaker 8: giving license. You know, the problem with anti Semitism in
- 12:07Speaker 8: this country, as discussing and seeing as it is, has
- 12:11Speaker 8: basically been licensed by governments in this country, principally your government,
- 12:16Speaker 8: mister Albanesi, who have given aid and comfort to opposition
- 12:21Speaker 8: to Israel and therefore Jews. The best thing that the
- 12:24Speaker 8: Albanesi could government could do now, Andrew, is to say that,
- 12:28Speaker 8: given that in the next six months, hopefully there will
- 12:32Speaker 8: be some form of new interim government in Israel, we're
- 12:34Speaker 8: going to start making attempts to return back to the
- 12:37Speaker 8: Middle East. The more than thousand people have come from Gaza.
- 12:40Speaker 8: Not back to Gaza, but maybe they can find an
- 12:42Speaker 8: interim country like Egypt who we can pay to send people,
- 12:47Speaker 8: to send the thousand and war back as a part
- 12:49Speaker 8: of a resettlement program. That would be the best way
- 12:54Speaker 8: of indicating that this government was an entirely anti Israel
- 12:58Speaker 8: and anti Jewish.
- 12:59Speaker 3: Andrew Well, I should also point out there are quite
- 13:02Speaker 3: a few Palestinians also in Israel and Muslims, and they
- 13:07Speaker 3: also have equal voting.
- 13:08Speaker 8: Rights, yeah for minion of us right, and they they
- 13:13Speaker 8: prefer to live in Israel.
- 13:14Speaker 2: Andrew, that is the point I'd like to make, David Elliott.
- 13:21Speaker 3: I get there could be good reasons for Anthony ALBINIZI
- 13:25Speaker 3: not to want to go along with Peter Dutton's saying well,
- 13:29Speaker 3: minimum six years jail for anti any anti Jewish attack
- 13:35Speaker 3: that includes violence. But I worry is the answer. Is
- 13:39Speaker 3: that really the answer? Six years jail, regardless of say,
- 13:43Speaker 3: the age of the adults, or the circumstances or the
- 13:46Speaker 3: mental capacity.
- 13:48Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 13:49Speaker 3: This seems it seems the problem really is the attitude
- 13:52Speaker 3: of the judges rather than the law.
- 13:55Speaker 9: Well, I'm quite shocked at the defeatus approach that we
- 13:58Speaker 9: saw from the Prime Minister today when he said that
- 14:00Speaker 9: we can't legislate for twenty seven million Australians.
- 14:03Speaker 2: Or well we can, that's defeatus.
- 14:05Speaker 9: That's not the Prime Minister Albineasi than I know that's
- 14:07Speaker 9: Prime Minister and Neville Chamberlain. You can legislate for twenty
- 14:11Speaker 9: the behavior of twenty seven million astrains. You can't bash
- 14:13Speaker 9: your wife anymore. You can't sexually assault a child in Australia,
- 14:17Speaker 9: you can't discriminate against somebody because of their sexual preferences.
- 14:21Speaker 2: That's what civilized societies do.
- 14:22Speaker 9: Our courts and our parliament, our Defense Force have stepped
- 14:25Speaker 9: up to the Marxians Federation, protecting the vulnerable. And so yes,
- 14:29Speaker 9: I don't understand how you would be you could justify
- 14:33Speaker 9: morally not defending the Jewish community at the moment, not
- 14:36Speaker 9: stepping up to provide that extra support.
- 14:39Speaker 2: So I agree with you.
- 14:41Speaker 9: I don't think that there should be it should be
- 14:43Speaker 9: necessarily restricted to attacks against Jews. It should be restricted
- 14:48Speaker 9: to attacks any racially or certainly a religious motivated attack.
- 14:53Speaker 9: When I was the Count of Terroors and Minister here
- 14:54Speaker 9: in New South welsalked we walked people through the state
- 14:58Speaker 9: government's approach and it was all about making sure that
- 15:01Speaker 9: people felt that they were all treated Certainly they were
- 15:05Speaker 9: treated the same. But we're not going to be saying, oh, well,
- 15:08Speaker 9: you know, I can't legislate against against the behavior of people.
- 15:11Speaker 9: You can't get drunk at the cricket, but you can
- 15:13Speaker 9: go and bash a Jew. I don't understand it.
- 15:17Speaker 3: Well, the only you can basha Drew Jew. We've got
- 15:19Speaker 3: laws against that too. But the point is we have
- 15:21Speaker 3: got laws against that already, Markel, taking away the discretion
- 15:25Speaker 3: of judges.
- 15:25Speaker 2: I am not so sure.
- 15:26Speaker 3: And you know how these laws work. You might intend
- 15:29Speaker 3: them to protect Jews before you know it. If you
- 15:32Speaker 3: criticize Islam, you're a sentenced through years in the slammer
- 15:35Speaker 3: with no leniency.
- 15:38Speaker 8: I mean, this is the thing, well, Andrew, the fact
- 15:43Speaker 8: that you know, these radical Islamic preachers saying how Jews
- 15:48Speaker 8: are hiding behind trees, go and kill on quoting from
- 15:50Speaker 8: the Karnates that quoting that kind of extreme incitement. Those
- 15:54Speaker 8: shocking scenes outside the opera house, the firebombing of the
- 16:00Speaker 8: Os Synagogue in here, and the hundreds and hundreds of
- 16:02Speaker 8: other anti Jewish incidents that have taken place in this country.
- 16:08Speaker 8: These have all happened on the watch of Anthony Albanezi.
- 16:11Speaker 2: Right.
- 16:11Speaker 8: This is the worst public policy failure in Australian history.
- 16:16Speaker 8: You know, we thought, we thought you and I thought
- 16:18Speaker 8: and others thought that the failure of the RD government
- 16:20Speaker 8: by reversing John Howard's border protection policies was the worst.
- 16:25Speaker 8: But this has had consequences in this country that will
- 16:27Speaker 8: last for generations. Now, the Jewish hatred which has been
- 16:31Speaker 8: which has grown up over the last you know, fifteen months,
- 16:34Speaker 8: and basically nothing has been done. These extremist demonstrations, these
- 16:39Speaker 8: jew hating demonstrations which are taking place in Melbourne under
- 16:44Speaker 8: the guise of being pro Palestinian, absolute rubbish, right under
- 16:49Speaker 8: rocks from under rocks we've seen in this country. These
- 16:52Speaker 8: Jewish hating people have come out and you know, for
- 16:57Speaker 8: everyone to see it. Universities in streets, attacking shop owners, synagogues,
- 17:02Speaker 8: et cetera. It's discussing.
- 17:03Speaker 3: Let's let's not deny Michael that if the temperature goes down,
- 17:08Speaker 3: those people are still there and they'll come back.
- 17:10Speaker 2: And that's it's still there. But David, still in our country.
- 17:13Speaker 3: The government, David, yeah, absolutely, David Eliet the Albanizi government
- 17:18Speaker 3: decided to go hard on Israel, change our foreign policies
- 17:23Speaker 3: to win votes from Muslim and Green supporters ahead of
- 17:25Speaker 3: the election. I wonder whether that's now backfired. I mean,
- 17:28Speaker 3: I know there's far many more. This cost of living
- 17:30Speaker 3: is number one issue, right, But you've got three new poles,
- 17:33Speaker 3: you Gov, Morgan, fresh Water, all now saying the coalition
- 17:38Speaker 3: is ahead of Labor fifty one percent to forty nine
- 17:41Speaker 3: or even more in the case of Morgan, and the
- 17:43Speaker 3: fresh Water pole also says law and order, which I
- 17:46Speaker 3: think is related to what we're talking about, is now
- 17:48Speaker 3: ahead of climate change in the list of the top
- 17:50Speaker 3: issues worrying voters costs of living, I say again tops.
- 17:55Speaker 3: So has Labor's anti Israel stand backfired?
- 17:58Speaker 2: Well, think it has.
- 17:59Speaker 9: But remember these this is a political movement full of
- 18:04Speaker 9: a lot of left wing people who, as a young
- 18:06Speaker 9: student activists were very anti Israel and extremely passionate and
- 18:10Speaker 9: supporting the Palestinians. So they've actually just reverted to form
- 18:13Speaker 9: in many respects and and but you know it's funny
- 18:17Speaker 9: when your when your butt gets into the white ministerial car,
- 18:20Speaker 9: you can sell out your principles. And now they've now,
- 18:22Speaker 9: now they're now they're juggling fire. I think you know,
- 18:26Speaker 9: the forgotten people, as Michael and my party call them,
- 18:30Speaker 9: I think you know they know what is going on here,
- 18:34Speaker 9: and they're not activists and they're not expressing their opinions,
- 18:37Speaker 9: but they see exactly what's going on in the Middle
- 18:39Speaker 9: East at the moment, and as their parents did and
- 18:41Speaker 9: their grandparents did. But yeah, you are quite right. I mean,
- 18:44Speaker 9: at the end of the day, we are we are
- 18:46Speaker 9: thanks to the tyranny of distance. We are quite insulent
- 18:49Speaker 9: when it comes to foreign policy here in Australia unless
- 18:51Speaker 9: there's bullets flying over the over the over the shoreline.
- 18:55Speaker 9: And I think I think people are much more concerned
- 18:58Speaker 9: about the cost of living, much more concerned about it.
- 19:02Speaker 9: And I think what we'll find in the lead up
- 19:04Speaker 9: to the election that will be the number one barbecue
- 19:06Speaker 9: stopping conversation. But you know, we know what's morally right
- 19:10Speaker 9: and wrong. We knew what was morally right with these teams,
- 19:12Speaker 9: or we knew what was morally right after the seventh
- 19:15Speaker 9: of October. But please don't assume that the Australian people
- 19:20Speaker 9: are not going to be voting with their wallets in
- 19:23Speaker 9: April when the election comes about. I think you'll find that.
- 19:26Speaker 9: I think that you'll find that the Australian people will
- 19:28Speaker 9: be doing exactly that.
- 19:31Speaker 3: David Elliot, Michael Kroeger, thank you very much to you both.
- 19:35Speaker 3: I have to wonder how much money is this government
- 19:40Speaker 3: splashing against the walls to save it's failing green energy scam.
- 19:43Speaker 3: It's a scandal.
- 19:45Speaker 2: I mean aluminium.
- 19:46Speaker 3: Smelters, right they are our biggest users of electricity, so
- 19:50Speaker 3: right now they have been in danger of going broke,
- 19:53Speaker 3: of having to shut because green energy, as you know
- 19:56Speaker 3: with your own bills, means higher prices and a higher
- 19:59Speaker 3: risk of blackouts. The Albanizer government is now panicking about
- 20:04Speaker 3: exactly that. So the Prime Minister today promised to spend
- 20:08Speaker 3: two billion dollars two billion dollars towards converting Australia's four
- 20:13Speaker 3: aluminium smelters to renewable and electricity.
- 20:18Speaker 6: As the world transitions to net zero, we can be
- 20:23Speaker 6: incredibly successful at making sure that we are taking advantage
- 20:30Speaker 6: of where we are in the world. The government will
- 20:33Speaker 6: invest two billion dollars to supercharge Australia's oluminium industry.
- 20:39Speaker 2: It's crazy.
- 20:40Speaker 3: So US taxpayers will be paying higher prices for your
- 20:44Speaker 3: own electricity bills, plus higher taxes to pay for the
- 20:47Speaker 3: electricity bills of the smelters, all supposed to save the
- 20:51Speaker 3: world from a climate crisis. I can't see, in fact,
- 20:53Speaker 3: to save the save Australia from the Albanezi government's stupid policies,
- 20:58Speaker 3: at least pretend to save it. But the crazy thing
- 21:00Speaker 3: is not just how much money labor is going to
- 21:03Speaker 3: make us pay smelters to go green, it's can they
- 21:08Speaker 3: even do this technically go green?
- 21:11Speaker 2: How many?
- 21:11Speaker 3: As it was at the Tomago smelter for this announcement,
- 21:14Speaker 3: now that's in New South Wales. The boss of that
- 21:17Speaker 3: smelter said just a few months ago the Tomago's green
- 21:20Speaker 3: targets were unachievable. And it wasn't just because green energy
- 21:24Speaker 3: costs too much, but because wind and solar power was
- 21:27Speaker 3: so unreliable. And that's the point Peter Dunton made today
- 21:31Speaker 3: as well.
- 21:33Speaker 7: I can't find anywhere in the world an eluminium smelter,
- 21:39Speaker 7: a high energy use eluminium smelter that is only run
- 21:42Speaker 7: on wind and solar and batteries. Now, if there's an
- 21:45Speaker 7: example of Prime Minister's got I'd be happy to hear it.
- 21:48Speaker 3: Joined me is the opposition's energy spokesman, Teto Brain. It's
- 21:51Speaker 3: just back from South Korea whereas investigating it's nuclear power industry.
- 21:55Speaker 3: Teto Brown, great to talk to you again before we
- 21:58Speaker 3: get to South Korea. Is the coalition also going to
- 22:01Speaker 3: spend two billion dollars to help austral aluminium smelters go green.
- 22:07Speaker 1: Andrew will help smelters, But you help smelters by getting
- 22:11Speaker 1: energy prices down and ensuring it's always on twenty four
- 22:15Speaker 1: to seven. I think what Labor's announced today. I know
- 22:18Speaker 1: they've dressed it up as I think they said supercharging
- 22:23Speaker 1: green aluminium. This is just putting these smelters on life support.
- 22:28Speaker 1: It's similar to what they did when they promised us
- 22:31Speaker 1: all that two hundred and seventy five dollars reduction household
- 22:34Speaker 1: power bills. They broke that promise. It failed, so they
- 22:38Speaker 1: dished out energy relief packages to mop it up. This
- 22:43Speaker 1: is an energy relief package to mop up the failure
- 22:47Speaker 1: when it comes to energy prices for our big aluminium smelters.
- 22:51Speaker 1: That's all this is.
- 22:52Speaker 7: I believe.
- 22:55Speaker 3: Now, as I said, you are back from South Korea
- 22:58Speaker 3: from looking at anuclear power industry, you're promising nuclear power stations.
- 23:03Speaker 2: Here if you win the election.
- 23:05Speaker 3: The criticism from the government is that nuclear costume much
- 23:08Speaker 3: will take too long to build here to stop us
- 23:09Speaker 3: running out of electricity, among other things for smelters.
- 23:14Speaker 2: What did you find, Andrew.
- 23:17Speaker 1: I found in South Korea and industrial powerhouse, a country
- 23:23Speaker 1: that uses a balanced mix of energy. They have around
- 23:26Speaker 1: about thirty percent of their energy mixed coal, around another
- 23:29Speaker 1: thirty percent gas, and another thirty percent nuclear with some
- 23:35Speaker 1: the remainder includes indeed some renewaballs. And they pay somewhere
- 23:40Speaker 1: between maybe half to a third of what we pay
- 23:45Speaker 1: in Australia, which is why they are just so successful
- 23:49Speaker 1: when it comes to manufacturing. And when you go through
- 23:52Speaker 1: these enormous facilities like I did last week, what you
- 23:56Speaker 1: see is not not a country that has cheap labor.
- 24:00Speaker 1: That explains why they're so good at manufacturing. You are
- 24:03Speaker 1: talking about a country that does things at scale, great
- 24:06Speaker 1: sophistication and great automation. All of those things require an
- 24:11Speaker 1: insatial amount of energy, and you can only do that
- 24:16Speaker 1: if energy is affordable and is always on base load power.
- 24:20Speaker 1: Energy is key. I mean to think I arrived home
- 24:23Speaker 1: on Friday, Andrew, and after seeing all this and talking
- 24:26Speaker 1: to a lot of the energy experts in Korea understanding
- 24:29Speaker 1: the balanced energy mix, how they get prices down, keep
- 24:31Speaker 1: the lights on, and then on Monday we have the
- 24:34Speaker 1: Prime Minister out there saying that our aluminium smelters are
- 24:38Speaker 1: going to run entirely on wind and solar and batteries.
- 24:43Speaker 1: It is madness. And I don't know what they would
- 24:46Speaker 1: have said in South Korea. I told them that last week.
- 24:49Speaker 1: I really don't.
- 24:52Speaker 3: Oh, look, it is ridiculous. But let me go to
- 24:55Speaker 3: this point here. South Korea's career electric power corporations commonly
- 25:00Speaker 3: know KEPTKO, recently built four nuclear power plants in the
- 25:04Speaker 3: noted Arab Emirates. It took them nine years to build
- 25:08Speaker 3: each of them. Do you think it could do the
- 25:11Speaker 3: same for Australia? Is that why you were going there?
- 25:13Speaker 3: Is that what you were looking at, Whether someone like
- 25:15Speaker 3: KEPKO could come and do the same thing for us?
- 25:20Speaker 1: Andrew, that was why I was there. You know, we
- 25:23Speaker 1: have to be humble enough as a nation to know
- 25:25Speaker 1: that we are not managing the energy system. Well, there
- 25:27Speaker 1: are other countries that are doing it right now. As
- 25:30Speaker 1: the rest of the world is developing nuclear energy, we
- 25:34Speaker 1: have South Korea is one of those nations which is
- 25:36Speaker 1: exporting their technology and supply chain to the world. And
- 25:39Speaker 1: I was privileged last week to meet a lot of
- 25:42Speaker 1: the companies in that supply chain to see their operations.
- 25:45Speaker 1: And you're right pointing to the UAE plant. This is
- 25:48Speaker 1: the Baraka plant. They built that on time and on budget.
- 25:53Speaker 1: The UAE had a clean sheet of paper on nuclear technology,
- 25:58Speaker 1: unlike Australia because we already are a nuclear nation and
- 26:01Speaker 1: yet right now nuclear energy represents about twenty five percent
- 26:05Speaker 1: of the UA's energy mix. South Korea did that on time,
- 26:10Speaker 1: on budget. We can learn from them, and that's what
- 26:13Speaker 1: really we're doing last week.
- 26:16Speaker 2: Now.
- 26:16Speaker 3: Obviously you know it can't commit to anything. It's absurd,
- 26:21Speaker 3: but you know, haven't talked price, you haven't talked anything.
- 26:25Speaker 3: But did they give you any indication that we're things
- 26:29Speaker 3: to fall into place? Someone like Keipko could do it
- 26:33Speaker 3: for us as well.
- 26:35Speaker 1: We certainly heard Andrew from right across the supply chain
- 26:40Speaker 1: that they are interested in working with Australia. It was
- 26:43Speaker 1: a similar message, by the way, I've heard from the Americans,
- 26:45Speaker 1: from the Canadians, from the UK, from Japan, and now
- 26:50Speaker 1: from South Korea. Indeed, they look at Australia and say, well,
- 26:53Speaker 1: Australia has ample capability. You already are a nuclear nation,
- 26:59Speaker 1: Your civil cons instruction sector is first class. We're keen
- 27:03Speaker 1: to work with you. And when you look at whether
- 27:05Speaker 1: you're talking about day words some his on san these companies,
- 27:13Speaker 1: I mean Dusan for example, it is probably the biggest
- 27:17Speaker 1: supplier of materials for nuclear power plants in the world.
- 27:23Speaker 1: They look at Australia and they absolutely can supply and
- 27:27Speaker 1: they're key to Now now you know, I'm not making
- 27:29Speaker 1: any preemptive decisions here, everybody.
- 27:31Speaker 2: No, no, look, I preface it like that.
- 27:34Speaker 1: You know.
- 27:34Speaker 2: Look, I'm just talking about is it off the scale
- 27:38Speaker 2: to even think about it?
- 27:39Speaker 3: Clearly it's not. Clearly they would be interested. Everything came
- 27:42Speaker 3: right and you're not committing and they're not committing. But
- 27:45Speaker 3: fascinating Steto Brian, I suspect we're going to hear a
- 27:48Speaker 3: lot more about that later on.
- 27:50Speaker 2: Thank you so much, indeed for your time.
- 27:52Speaker 3: After the break, Donald Trump parties is against ready to
- 27:55Speaker 3: be sworn in as president again tomorrow our time tonight.
- 28:00Speaker 3: Actually how he's about to change the world much more
- 28:04Speaker 3: than he did the first time. After this, Donald Trump
- 28:11Speaker 3: will tonight be sworn in as US president for the
- 28:13Speaker 3: second time, and this time he really is going to
- 28:16Speaker 3: create a revolution and from the very first minutes of
- 28:21Speaker 3: his term, and it's one it's going to shake the world.
- 28:24Speaker 2: I think this morning is our time.
- 28:27Speaker 3: He has already been dancing at a pre inauguration rally
- 28:30Speaker 3: with the village people singing YMCA and told him during
- 28:34Speaker 3: rally some of what he had planned.
- 28:37Speaker 2: We will be sworn in tomorrow.
- 28:41Speaker 10: We're going to cut your taxes, end inflation, slash your prices,
- 28:46Speaker 10: getting them back down, raise your wages, and bring thousands
- 28:50Speaker 10: of factories back to the USA.
- 28:53Speaker 2: Right where they belong. And that'll be done through tariffs
- 28:56Speaker 2: and smart policy. We will build American, we will buy American,
- 29:01Speaker 2: and we will hire American. I will end the war
- 29:06Speaker 2: in Ukraine, I.
- 29:07Speaker 10: Will stop the chaos in the Middle East, and I
- 29:09Speaker 10: will prevent World War three from happening.
- 29:12Speaker 2: And you have no idea how close we are.
- 29:15Speaker 3: Join miss John Hendireker, president of the Center for American Progress,
- 29:18Speaker 3: and righted with MS an excellent power line blog. John Heindereka,
- 29:24Speaker 3: great to see you again. Big promises the president made
- 29:29Speaker 3: in his rally overnight, Your time, this morning our time.
- 29:34Speaker 3: But I have to say he is short hitting the
- 29:37Speaker 3: ground running. What do you think he's going to do
- 29:39Speaker 3: on day one of the return to the presidency.
- 29:44Speaker 11: Well, the report is that on his first day at office,
- 29:47Speaker 11: he's going to do like two hundred executive actions, of
- 29:51Speaker 11: which one hundred will be official executive orders. You know,
- 29:56Speaker 11: I think Trump has learned a lot from his experience
- 29:59Speaker 11: as fact, having served four years as president, I think
- 30:03Speaker 11: now he really understands the importance of getting his term
- 30:07Speaker 11: off to a fast start. And he also has a
- 30:11Speaker 11: much better idea of who he wants on his team.
- 30:13Speaker 11: If you think back to some of his cabinet officers
- 30:16Speaker 11: eight years ago, you know there were some clickers in
- 30:19Speaker 11: that group, and that's not sue anymore. Now He's got
- 30:21Speaker 11: a great group of people around him. They are just
- 30:24Speaker 11: champing at the bet to get this administration going right.
- 30:28Speaker 3: So it's going to crack down day one on the border,
- 30:31Speaker 3: start throwing out the legal immigrants, et cetera, et cetera.
- 30:34Speaker 2: I mean, it's going to be but that's far from all.
- 30:37Speaker 3: Of course, the end of affirmative action in the military, whatever,
- 30:42Speaker 3: and you know what diversity, equity, inclusion programs and unbelievable
- 30:48Speaker 3: this as you say this second President Trump is so
- 30:52Speaker 3: different from the first one. Let's look at his team.
- 30:55Speaker 3: They've been having confirmation hearing is in from the Senate
- 30:59Speaker 3: over the last week. Who do you think is going
- 31:02Speaker 3: to be the standout in this team? Who do you
- 31:05Speaker 3: think is really going to tear it a pat for
- 31:08Speaker 3: President Trump?
- 31:11Speaker 11: Well, Andrew, you know, it's hard to say. If the
- 31:14Speaker 11: Department of Government Efficiency really gets off the ground and functions,
- 31:19Speaker 11: Elon Musk maybe the guy who has more impact than
- 31:22Speaker 11: anyone else. I think the choice of Marco Rubio to
- 31:26Speaker 11: be Secretary of State is fantastic. Marco is a great guy,
- 31:31Speaker 11: perfect time in his career. He's young, he's energetic, and
- 31:34Speaker 11: he's promised an America first foreign policy, which of course
- 31:38Speaker 11: is what the American people want. I think he's going
- 31:40Speaker 11: to be a star throughout. Pam Bondy, the nominee for
- 31:44Speaker 11: Attorney General. I'm hearing terrific things about her. She was
- 31:48Speaker 11: the Attorney General of Florida, and I think she's going
- 31:52Speaker 11: to do a great job at taking the politics out
- 31:54Speaker 11: of the Department of Justice.
- 31:57Speaker 3: Well, I'm going to add one name for Chris right
- 32:01Speaker 3: in charge of Energy. This is that gas tycoon. He says, oh, look, yeah,
- 32:06Speaker 3: the planet is warming. He's not pretending it's not, but
- 32:09Speaker 3: he's saying America has to have energy. What energy it
- 32:15Speaker 3: will be he doesn't care, but is very strong on
- 32:18Speaker 3: fossil fuels. I think it's going to change the debate,
- 32:22Speaker 3: not just in America but throughout the Western world about
- 32:26Speaker 3: the whole fraud of the global warming, you know, renewable
- 32:29Speaker 3: energy scam.
- 32:31Speaker 11: You know when solar I mean, they're a joke. Chris
- 32:34Speaker 11: Wright totally understands that, and he can explain it. I
- 32:37Speaker 11: think he strikes fear out of the hearts of greenies
- 32:41Speaker 11: in America and really around the world.
- 32:44Speaker 2: The inauguration.
- 32:46Speaker 3: Is going to be held indoors this time because of
- 32:49Speaker 3: the amazing big freeze in the US. Talk about global warming,
- 32:52Speaker 3: you're real short of it now. The guest list is
- 32:55Speaker 3: very telling. John, You've got the Promise of Italy, Georgia
- 32:58Speaker 3: Maloney's there, Prison Malay, President Malay of Argentina. These are
- 33:03Speaker 3: conservative superstars. You've got Nage Farage from Britain.
- 33:08Speaker 2: The guest list. Looking at it, what does it tell.
- 33:10Speaker 11: You, Well, there's a changing of the guard, Andrew. There's
- 33:14Speaker 11: a changing of the guard in America but also around
- 33:17Speaker 11: the world. I mean, people like Georgia Maloney, who I
- 33:20Speaker 11: just love, you know, the Prime Minister of Italy doing
- 33:23Speaker 11: a tremendous job. She's becoming really almost the elder statesman,
- 33:27Speaker 11: you know, of European heads of steak, because they've been
- 33:30Speaker 11: dropping like flies. And then you've got Malay who's done
- 33:34Speaker 11: an unbelievable job of starting to turn around Argentina, which
- 33:39Speaker 11: is just about a basket case in a very short
- 33:42Speaker 11: time using sound conservative policies. That we're seeing this right
- 33:47Speaker 11: word shift around the globe and it's bringing a lot
- 33:50Speaker 11: of optimism to a number of countries.
- 33:54Speaker 3: Yeah, but don Trump Bright has made some huge promises
- 33:58Speaker 3: again today. You know, in war in Ukraine, he reckons
- 34:02Speaker 3: he has got that cease fire in Israel by himself,
- 34:06Speaker 3: and as I reckon, he does take most of the
- 34:08Speaker 3: credit for it, or if credit it is. Is going
- 34:12Speaker 3: to lower inflation, it's going to stop illegal immigration, is
- 34:15Speaker 3: going to do all these big things. What do you
- 34:17Speaker 3: think after four more years of Donald Trump, you were
- 34:21Speaker 3: going to say, this is the biggest difference that he
- 34:24Speaker 3: made to America and to the world.
- 34:29Speaker 11: Oh, that's a big question, Andrew. There are so many possibilities.
- 34:33Speaker 11: I think one of the things you have to look
- 34:35Speaker 11: at is tone. You know, rad Oald Reagan was a
- 34:38Speaker 11: great president. He had terrific policies in both domestic policy
- 34:42Speaker 11: and foreign policy was tremendously successful. But with hindsight, probably
- 34:47Speaker 11: his greatest achievement was doing away with the pessimism of
- 34:52Speaker 11: the nineteen seventies and showing Americans that our best years
- 34:57Speaker 11: were ahead of us, not behind us. We could still
- 34:59Speaker 11: be a great force for good in the world. And
- 35:03Speaker 11: I think Donald Trump, in his second term, has an
- 35:05Speaker 11: opportunity to do something similar. These four years under Joe
- 35:10Speaker 11: Biden have been a disaster. Joe Biden has been a
- 35:14Speaker 11: terrible president. And obviously, you know he's senile. We all
- 35:17Speaker 11: know that, and that's part of the picture, but that's
- 35:20Speaker 11: not the whole picture. This whole administration has been mean spirited,
- 35:24Speaker 11: it's been negative, it's really been anti American in important ways.
- 35:29Speaker 11: It's fostered terrible ideologies like critical race theory.
- 35:33Speaker 2: DEI and I think that that maybe.
- 35:38Speaker 11: Trump's biggest contribution will be to sweep away a lot
- 35:42Speaker 11: of that negativity, a lot of that nonsense, and really
- 35:45Speaker 11: give Americans the feeling that we're back on the path
- 35:48Speaker 11: to greatness. And you can see that.
- 35:50Speaker 2: Right now in Washington, d C.
- 35:52Speaker 11: I mean, that's definitely how people are feeling.
- 35:55Speaker 2: John Hondereche. Always great to talk to you. Thank you
- 35:58Speaker 2: so much for your time. Thank you. Andrew agreed to
- 36:02Speaker 2: be with you and Dome.
- 36:04Speaker 3: Miss Scone uses coverage of Trump's inauguration, which starts tonight
- 36:08Speaker 3: at three am Australia's and Daylight Time.
- 36:12Speaker 2: Will also speak to.
- 36:12Speaker 3: Former White House Press Secretary of Sean Spicer on the
- 36:17Speaker 3: show tomorrow night and our chief election analyst Tom Connell
- 36:20Speaker 3: live from Washington, DC.
- 36:22Speaker 2: Don't miss any of it. Party Time after the break.
- 36:26Speaker 3: Well, first we threw him out in a COVID panic
- 36:28Speaker 3: and now we insult him. Why do Australian show they're
- 36:32Speaker 3: worst when Novak Djokovic was in town. The way Australia
- 36:39Speaker 3: has treated Novak Dzokovic at times is embarrassing.
- 36:42Speaker 2: And here we go again.
- 36:44Speaker 3: It was a really bad enough of the Morrison government
- 36:45Speaker 3: three years ago through the world's top tennis player out
- 36:48Speaker 3: of Australian out of the Australian Open because he wasn't
- 36:51Speaker 3: vaccinated against COVID, which was ludicrous. I mean, Djokovic, are
- 36:56Speaker 3: really caught COVID and so therefore he had got an
- 36:59Speaker 3: official exemption from the vaccine. The vaccine you didn't trust,
- 37:02Speaker 3: how can you get not that infectious again if you've
- 37:06Speaker 3: had it?
- 37:06Speaker 2: But Australia was in a moral panic. Treat in like
- 37:08Speaker 2: the villain out this time.
- 37:10Speaker 3: Djokovic yesterday politely refused that the usual postmatch on court
- 37:14Speaker 3: interview after his win after being mocked by Tony Jones
- 37:18Speaker 3: of the official broadcast Channel nine, when Jones heckled Djokovic
- 37:23Speaker 3: and Serbian fans, the.
- 37:26Speaker 12: Novak Djokovic fan's there in full voice. Yeah, the chances
- 37:29Speaker 12: are quite exturety Novak. He's overrated Novaksa. Has the Novack
- 37:36Speaker 12: kick him out?
- 37:37Speaker 2: Oh?
- 37:37Speaker 7: I'm glad they can't hear me.
- 37:39Speaker 3: Kokovic has now accepted Tony Jones's public apology. Jokovic says
- 37:45Speaker 3: he'll move on join mister panel. This story of the
- 37:47Speaker 3: late debate here on Sky Weekdays at ten pm and
- 37:50Speaker 3: Stephen trevoura and author and senior lecturer in history at
- 37:53Speaker 3: Campion College, Liz Djokovic seems to bring out the worst
- 37:57Speaker 3: in some Australians.
- 37:59Speaker 13: Well, I don't think Tourney Jones is indicative of Australians,
- 38:03Speaker 13: certainly not in this case. I mean we're talking about
- 38:06Speaker 13: an athlete who has won the Australian Open ten times.
- 38:09Speaker 13: This guy is a living legend. He's always been good
- 38:12Speaker 13: to Australia. And Tony Jones coming out in this quote
- 38:16Speaker 13: unquote apology that had all the charm of a colostomy
- 38:20Speaker 13: bag hitting a windshield, he literally just insisted that this
- 38:25Speaker 13: was banter, that this was humor, it was supposed to
- 38:28Speaker 13: be funny, actually inferring, i think double insulting Djokovic, inferring
- 38:33Speaker 13: that he was just being a sensitive little soul by
- 38:36Speaker 13: taking this to heart instead of owning the fact that no,
- 38:40Speaker 13: you are the official partner of the Australian Open this
- 38:44Speaker 13: is being beamed into millions of people's homes worldwide, and
- 38:48Speaker 13: there you were calling him overrated, has been and joking
- 38:53Speaker 13: about the time our country humiliated itself on the world
- 38:57Speaker 13: stage by treating this guy like a criminal when he
- 39:01Speaker 13: did absolutely nothing wrong. This is just a rehumiliation for
- 39:08Speaker 13: Australia because of course this has made international headlines. But
- 39:12Speaker 13: lastly on this, massive props to Djokovic for simply taking
- 39:17Speaker 13: to Twitter. He bypassed the media, did away with that
- 39:21Speaker 13: nasty veniar that they can put over the top of
- 39:23Speaker 13: everything to skew it in their favor. He went straight
- 39:26Speaker 13: onto x last I checked, his video has over sixty
- 39:30Speaker 13: six million views, so Channel Line can get stuffed. It's
- 39:35Speaker 13: the way of a future. I'm telling you Andrew, that's true.
- 39:40Speaker 3: Though I must actually applauded what he had done, and
- 39:44Speaker 3: I wondered with sixty six million views, but yeah, it
- 39:46Speaker 3: has gone around the world. Even the Serbian embassies complained officially.
- 39:51Speaker 3: But really, Steven, what do you make of this that
- 39:55Speaker 3: that could be done on the national book other sorry,
- 39:58Speaker 3: the official broadcasters and tennis.
- 40:02Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'd like.
- 40:03Speaker 14: To be as optimistic as Liz is about the Australian character.
- 40:06Speaker 14: But one of the greatest flaws in Australian character is
- 40:09Speaker 14: our tall poppy syndrome. And Djokovic it was sort of
- 40:14Speaker 14: the ultimate tall poppy. While Australians were freaking out about
- 40:20Speaker 14: COVID and imposing the most draconian laws of any country
- 40:24Speaker 14: other than China, Djokovic basically thought for himself, made his
- 40:29Speaker 14: own decisions and said this is what I'm going to do,
- 40:32Speaker 14: and Australians freaked out. We became a freak cher during COVID.
- 40:37Speaker 2: So I think that's so true. I think it's a
- 40:41Speaker 2: lot of tall poppy syndrome.
- 40:42Speaker 14: A ugly aspect of Australian character.
- 40:46Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely correct. I have to say I went to the.
- 40:49Speaker 3: Australian Open Liz on Saturday. God of course the usual
- 40:56Speaker 3: welcome to country, you know, which just really gives me
- 41:01Speaker 3: the irrits then to.
- 41:02Speaker 2: Know they'll do all that.
- 41:04Speaker 3: They'll have an all abilities stay tomorrow, they'll have an
- 41:07Speaker 3: official Women's Girl Day on Thursday, they'll have a Pride
- 41:10Speaker 3: Day on Friday, you know, welcome to countries everywhere. They
- 41:15Speaker 3: will not have an official Australia Day on Sunday. They
- 41:19Speaker 3: will have the anthem and that's it. Well, people are
- 41:23Speaker 3: too divided for that now, Seriously, how can that be
- 41:28Speaker 3: when they're welcome to countries?
- 41:29Speaker 2: That's the vice.
- 41:29Speaker 3: If it doesn't mean mind doing that, is it time
- 41:32Speaker 3: it rethought its attitude.
- 41:34Speaker 2: Of course it is.
- 41:35Speaker 13: And the only thing that is going to achieve that, Andrew,
- 41:39Speaker 13: is when we as people in great masses. Obviously they
- 41:43Speaker 13: didn't get the memo from the numbers of the Voice referendum.
- 41:46Speaker 13: We have to go one harder. I encourage everyone to boo.
- 41:51Speaker 13: I boo on the plane, the welcome to country. I
- 41:54Speaker 13: boo in crowded theaters, I boo at the footy, and
- 41:57Speaker 13: I tell you what, I've had people join me and
- 42:00Speaker 13: others flash you with cheeky grin because until we make
- 42:04Speaker 13: this not lucrative for them, completely embarrassing for them, they
- 42:08Speaker 13: are moving to keep it up.
- 42:12Speaker 3: Well, I wouldn't want to fight with Liz Stora. I
- 42:15Speaker 3: think i'd probably lose, so good on you. But Stephen,
- 42:18Speaker 3: I think I really know your attitude. I don't know
- 42:21Speaker 3: if you can see us through that, but yeah, what
- 42:23Speaker 3: do you make of this?
- 42:25Speaker 14: Well, you know Australia is going to be turning two
- 42:29Speaker 14: hundred and fifty in twenty thirty eight. And for those
- 42:32Speaker 14: of us who are old enough to remember nineteen eighty eight,
- 42:34Speaker 14: that was peak Australia. That was incredible. We loved Australia unabashedly, unreservedly,
- 42:40Speaker 14: and I would like to see Peter Dutton get the
- 42:42Speaker 14: ball rolling. We've got thirteen years to do this to
- 42:45Speaker 14: sort of rebuild Australian pride. Twenty thirty eight, let's make
- 42:49Speaker 14: it great.
- 42:51Speaker 3: Well, let's start with this Australia Day. Come on, Australia, Tennis,
- 42:55Speaker 3: Australia get your acting to gear. Liz Storis, if you've
- 42:57Speaker 3: ever thank you so much to you both the break
- 43:00Speaker 3: Donald Trump's guessed this tonight is caused heavy in British politics.
- 43:06Speaker 3: Talk to the crack who after this. Donald Trump is
- 43:12Speaker 3: making a big statement with his guest list to his
- 43:15Speaker 3: inauguration tonight. I mean, you take Britain no invitation for
- 43:18Speaker 3: Labor prem Minister Kis Starmer, but there is one Finagel Faraj,
- 43:22Speaker 3: head of the anti Immigration Reform Party, that's breathing down
- 43:25Speaker 3: Starmer's neck as well as to other right wing leaders
- 43:28Speaker 3: around the world. Join me from London's author broadcast from columnists.
- 43:31Speaker 3: Is the crack who is the great to see you again?
- 43:34Speaker 3: What does Trump's invitation list tell you?
- 43:39Speaker 15: It tells me and the rest of the country that
- 43:42Speaker 15: Kiir Salmer's blunders when it comes to Donald Trump and
- 43:45Speaker 15: his appointees in cabinet who have been very vocally opposed
- 43:49Speaker 15: to Donald Trump, has come back to bite them in
- 43:51Speaker 15: the rear. I'm sure most people don't know that we
- 43:53Speaker 15: actually have a US ambassador because he's really snubbed by
- 43:57Speaker 15: the incoming Trump administration as Welllson who got it beggars
- 44:02Speaker 15: belief that Kirs Starmer would even appoint a man like this.
- 44:05Speaker 15: I mean, it just goes to show his lack of judgment.
- 44:07Speaker 15: But this is a man who had to reside not
- 44:09Speaker 15: once but twice from cabinet, and one of those times
- 44:11Speaker 15: it was linked to him facilitating or utilizing his connections
- 44:16Speaker 15: to get a dodgy connection a British passport, so not
- 44:19Speaker 15: something that's trivial. And he thought that this man, what's
- 44:23Speaker 15: considered basically a slimy worm in Westminster, was the first
- 44:26Speaker 15: person to be our US ambassador. And look, Team Trump
- 44:31Speaker 15: is going to be explicit that they have no time
- 44:33Speaker 15: for the Peter Mandelsson's of the world. His worldview is
- 44:35Speaker 15: completely indirect opposition to anything that the Trump administration will pursue.
- 44:40Speaker 15: And it just goes to show what direction the kis
- 44:42Speaker 15: Starmer is trying to take Britain in, and Trump is
- 44:44Speaker 15: making his disdain for this, you know, the Slabor government known.
- 44:47Speaker 2: I mean, I can't.
- 44:48Speaker 15: I'm pretty sure that he's probably going to tank the
- 44:51Speaker 15: Chegos Islands deal within forty eight hours of becoming president
- 44:54Speaker 15: because it's one of the most horrific deals in human history,
- 44:58Speaker 15: paying nine billion pounds to a that's never owned this
- 45:01Speaker 15: territory just for the sake of virtue signaling. I mean,
- 45:04Speaker 15: We're just sing a key strategic asset, our only strategic
- 45:08Speaker 15: asset really in the Indian Ocean for reasons God only knows,
- 45:11Speaker 15: other than the fact that kiss they actually hate Britain.
- 45:14Speaker 15: So you know, the Trump administration has started sending signals
- 45:17Speaker 15: and no amount of sort of feigning good relations with Trump.
- 45:22Speaker 15: David Lammy is going to change that fact.
- 45:26Speaker 3: Yes, that's an extraordinary deal. Britain giving away the Tigos
- 45:30Speaker 3: Islands to Mauritius two thousand kilometers away. It's never every
- 45:34Speaker 3: known giving it money Mauritius allied with closest connections to China,
- 45:39Speaker 3: when those islands include the Diego Garcia American base naval base,
- 45:44Speaker 3: it's just dextraoring.
- 45:45Speaker 2: Trump is going to kill it.
- 45:46Speaker 3: Trump also promised that has promised to end all these
- 45:50Speaker 3: divers inequity and white privilege nonsense. I wonder whether Britain
- 45:54Speaker 3: could use a bit of that spirits. I have to say, now,
- 45:58Speaker 3: your College of midwives is a of decolonializing and says
- 46:05Speaker 3: that midwives must learn about that and about white privilege
- 46:09Speaker 3: before they can go and deliver babies. How on earth
- 46:11Speaker 3: is that even a thing?
- 46:14Speaker 15: Yes, apparently midwives must learn about I kid you not
- 46:17Speaker 15: the implicit and explicit legacies of colonial perspectives that should
- 46:21Speaker 15: be their priority instead of safely delivering babies. This comes
- 46:24Speaker 15: as at a time where two thirds of NHS maternity
- 46:27Speaker 15: services are have been deemed to be providing poor quality
- 46:30Speaker 15: care and are failing on many safety metrics, so clearly
- 46:34Speaker 15: they have their their priorities in order. Look, when it
- 46:36Speaker 15: comes to some of the dei work madness, you often
- 46:38Speaker 15: find that it's in the private sector that it tends
- 46:40Speaker 15: to fall first, sooner and more quickly than in the
- 46:43Speaker 15: public sector. And that's because the incentive structures are different.
- 46:46Speaker 15: In the public sector, they don't really answer to the public.
- 46:49Speaker 15: Their priority is not the bottom line. You know, people
- 46:51Speaker 15: can't explicitly say we don't like this by just not
- 46:54Speaker 15: patronizing their business. But in the private sector that's very much,
- 46:58Speaker 15: very easy to do. So what you have to have
- 47:01Speaker 15: is a change in administration and the government and the
- 47:04Speaker 15: people that oversee these bluted civil servants that have nothing
- 47:07Speaker 15: better to do. I mean, it's incredible that you have,
- 47:09Speaker 15: you know, a scandal of the two hospitals in this
- 47:12Speaker 15: country that have have had death of two hundred babies
- 47:14Speaker 15: on record in recent years, choosing to focus on colonial
- 47:18Speaker 15: perspectives of their midwives instead of I don't know, not
- 47:21Speaker 15: that babies.
- 47:23Speaker 3: It's your eyes roll. One day people will laugh at it,
- 47:26Speaker 3: but right now it's policy. Donald Trump TikTok. He campaign
- 47:31Speaker 3: on TikTok in the election campaign, Chinese owned social media platform,
- 47:35Speaker 3: but then the US administration has banned it as of
- 47:39Speaker 3: last week in because of the security concerns. Trump anounces
- 47:43Speaker 3: he wants to make a deal with the social media
- 47:44Speaker 3: platform that you use so much in the election.
- 47:46Speaker 10: Here is as of today, TikTok is back. I said,
- 47:53Speaker 10: I'll approve, but let the United States of America own
- 47:58Speaker 10: fifty percent of TikTok.
- 48:00Speaker 2: So, whether you like TikTok or not, we're going to
- 48:02Speaker 2: make a lot of money.
- 48:04Speaker 15: Good idea, Rissa, Well, from a business perspective, certainly, but
- 48:09Speaker 15: from young people and what they're consuming perspective, I don't
- 48:12Speaker 15: think so.
- 48:13Speaker 2: But it makes sense. You know, he's very.
- 48:14Speaker 15: Profree speech, so it would make sense that he wouldn't
- 48:16Speaker 15: want to ban a social media app. He just wants
- 48:19Speaker 15: to control it and reduce the security concerns.
- 48:24Speaker 3: Yes, well, that's the thing. He wants to make money.
- 48:27Speaker 3: But China is a security, Ristler. We should see how
- 48:30Speaker 3: that all works out, but who knows, you might get
- 48:32Speaker 3: away with it. Ees the Cracker, always great to talk
- 48:35Speaker 3: to you.
- 48:35Speaker 2: See you next week. Thank you very much, and that's
- 48:39Speaker 2: it for me. Coming up next, Sherry Maxon. Good night,
