- 0:00Speaker 1: Wait wait, welcome wait tur Bay.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Well thanks for joining us on the Late Debate. I'm
- 0:09Speaker 2: James Macpherson with Freilich and Caleb Bond. Here's what's coming
- 0:12Speaker 2: up tonight. Israel's president is in Melbourne but unable to
- 0:16Speaker 2: visit the Fire bond Adas Synagogue due to security concerns.
- 0:20Speaker 2: So what on earth has happened to our country? Plus
- 0:23Speaker 2: you won't believe which country the UN has just appointed
- 0:25Speaker 2: to promote democracy and gender equality, and the British Prime
- 0:30Speaker 2: Minister demands an apology after the co owner of Manchester
- 0:33Speaker 2: United says the country's been colonized by immigrants. We'll get
- 0:37Speaker 2: to all of that and more shortly, but first, I'm
- 0:39Speaker 2: sure you're familiar with the old expression if lefties didn't
- 0:42Speaker 2: have double standards, well they'd have no standards at all.
- 0:46Speaker 2: Case in point, the curious saga of singer Kelly Holiday.
- 0:50Speaker 2: Now Kelly Holiday is not just a performer, no, no,
- 0:52Speaker 2: he's also the boyfriend of that well known lefty podcaster
- 0:56Speaker 2: Abbi Chatfield. Together there are a couple of social justice
- 0:59Speaker 2: warriors in love, or maybe just a set of matching contradictions.
- 1:03Speaker 2: So picture this the Australian Turf Club in their infinite wisdom,
- 1:08Speaker 2: announced Kelly Holiday would perform at Royal Randwick this April
- 1:12Speaker 2: as part of their bid to attract more young people
- 1:15Speaker 2: to horse racing. But there was a tiny wrinkle in
- 1:17Speaker 2: their plan. You see, just a few years ago, Kelly's
- 1:20Speaker 2: other half, the ever enlightened Abby Chatfield, publicly mocked celebrities
- 1:25Speaker 2: who dare set foot at the races, telling her a
- 1:27Speaker 2: million plus followers she wouldn't be caught dead at Flemington,
- 1:31Speaker 2: not for all the money in the world.
- 1:34Speaker 3: Guys.
- 1:34Speaker 4: I thought we were done with the races, like it
- 1:38Speaker 4: Like I thought that like wasn't a thing anymore? Like
- 1:43Speaker 4: why is so many people.
- 1:44Speaker 3: Go in the races?
- 1:46Speaker 4: What the hell dying at like random people's snarky dams
- 1:50Speaker 4: being like, well even invited, yeahs offered money to go
- 1:55Speaker 4: a lot of money, and I.
- 1:56Speaker 2: Said, well. When that video resurfaced this week, Holiday suddenly
- 2:03Speaker 2: found himself too busy to headline the Championships at Royal Randwick.
- 2:07Speaker 2: After all, he's pulled out of the event. This CALEBN
- 2:10Speaker 2: farras what we call the woke Shuffle, make bold proclamations
- 2:14Speaker 2: about you won't do and then get caught cashing in
- 2:17Speaker 2: on exactly the thing you publicly despised. It's beautiful, isn't it.
- 2:21Speaker 1: Oh?
- 2:22Speaker 3: Look as a racing man, I'm terribly disappointed that I
- 2:24Speaker 3: won't be able to go and see mister Holiday performing
- 2:27Speaker 3: on Day one of the Championships at Royal Randwick. And
- 2:30Speaker 3: I'm also bitterly disappointed that I don't run into Abbey
- 2:34Speaker 3: Chatfield when I go to the Melbourne carp Ord to
- 2:37Speaker 3: Derby day down at Flemington.
- 2:39Speaker 1: It has really ruined my.
- 2:41Speaker 3: Day at the races. I have to tell you, you know,
- 2:44Speaker 3: because he put out this song it went to number
- 2:47Speaker 3: one last year, called Dancing two, which is about how
- 2:51Speaker 3: he met Abby and the song sort of goes at
- 2:54Speaker 3: the crucial bit I was dancing and you were dancing too. Well,
- 2:58Speaker 3: it would seem in this case you were grifting and
- 3:01Speaker 3: I was drifting.
- 3:02Speaker 1: Too, because how do you not know?
- 3:05Speaker 3: I'm sorry you jump up and down about social justice
- 3:08Speaker 3: and he said a lot of weird stuff, mister Holliday,
- 3:11Speaker 3: including about people who went to the match for Australia
- 3:15Speaker 3: Rallies who I think he said they should be in
- 3:18Speaker 3: prison or worse. He would not clarify what worse meant,
- 3:22Speaker 3: but I think we can all read between the lines.
- 3:25Speaker 3: So that's what he thinks of, you know, hard working,
- 3:27Speaker 3: every day Aussies who care about their country. Did he
- 3:30Speaker 3: not think there might be a small problem in carrying
- 3:34Speaker 3: on like that and then taking the money of a
- 3:37Speaker 3: racing club which hits its money from people who go
- 3:40Speaker 3: to the races. Oh my god, overable abuse of the
- 3:44Speaker 3: roasting is these idiots all say, but anything for a dollar,
- 3:48Speaker 3: I suppose, until you get caught out exactly.
- 3:50Speaker 5: Honestly, I just don't know why anyone takes Abby Chatfield seriously.
- 3:55Speaker 5: But this is the problem. She is massively influential among
- 3:59Speaker 5: young women. There's been some internal polling done by a
- 4:02Speaker 5: group that shows like twenty percent of young women in
- 4:06Speaker 5: Australia get their political opinions from Abby Chatfield.
- 4:09Speaker 6: That is terrifying.
- 4:10Speaker 2: The viewers who preps don't know much about what's the
- 4:13Speaker 2: appeal because you often see the craziness. What's the appeal
- 4:16Speaker 2: for so many young women?
- 4:17Speaker 5: Well, look, I don't really see it. She's blocked me
- 4:19Speaker 5: on every social media platform after I made videos making
- 4:23Speaker 5: fun of her. But I guess you know, she's relatable,
- 4:26Speaker 5: she's pretty, she's quite articulate, she is an intelligent girl.
- 4:30Speaker 5: But Oftentimes intelligent people can be extremely stupid. So she
- 4:34Speaker 5: is someone She had the Prime Minister on her podcast
- 4:37Speaker 5: just weeks before the election. In the podcast prior to that,
- 4:40Speaker 5: she was talking about all sorts of lude sexual acts.
- 4:43Speaker 5: She has a line of kinky sex toys and butt plugs.
- 4:47Speaker 6: And it is genuinely say, first.
- 4:50Speaker 3: Time that words ever been used on Sky.
- 4:53Speaker 5: I think I am sorry to all the viewers at home,
- 4:56Speaker 5: but this is the kind of person that is occupying
- 4:59Speaker 5: a central plays any political discourse for young women.
- 5:03Speaker 6: That is terrifying.
- 5:04Speaker 2: Well, because she has so many followers, the Prime Minister
- 5:07Speaker 2: doesn't care much. I suppose she's talked about. It's the
- 5:10Speaker 2: audience that she generates that makes her valuable.
- 5:12Speaker 3: And we saw that during the election campaign with Labor
- 5:15Speaker 3: in particular. I think it was during the federal budget,
- 5:17Speaker 3: wasn't it last year where they were getting influences involved
- 5:21Speaker 3: in the coverage. Yes, and invited them to the budget
- 5:24Speaker 3: lock up and treated them as though they were journalists.
- 5:27Speaker 3: And I mean, these people don't have a journalistic bone
- 5:29Speaker 3: in their body.
- 5:29Speaker 1: They don't have any qualifications.
- 5:31Speaker 3: They never worked in a newsroom, haven't gone through a
- 5:33Speaker 3: cadet ship, but they have audiences because they share their opinions.
- 5:37Speaker 3: Of course you're within your rights to do that, but
- 5:40Speaker 3: it doesn't mean that you know how to deal with
- 5:43Speaker 3: information that governments hand out and how to critically assess
- 5:47Speaker 3: that and say, well this is right and this is wrong.
- 5:50Speaker 3: You know, it's just a conduit for governments to get
- 5:52Speaker 3: out what they want to get out.
- 5:53Speaker 2: So, as the racing expert quickly before we move on,
- 5:56Speaker 2: is Kelly Holiday a loss to the racing and yoh
- 6:00Speaker 2: performing absolutely not.
- 6:02Speaker 3: I'm sure the ATC will be able to get a
- 6:04Speaker 3: much better act to perform on Day one of the Championships.
- 6:08Speaker 1: We're not going to miss him, I can tell you
- 6:10Speaker 1: that for free.
- 6:10Speaker 3: And by the way, as I always point out in
- 6:13Speaker 3: these situations, all you anti racing people or thought we
- 6:17Speaker 3: were gone with the races, go and look at how
- 6:19Speaker 3: many people have been going to the Melbourne Cup and
- 6:22Speaker 3: Derby Day over the last few years, or the whole
- 6:24Speaker 3: of the Spring Carnival. The attendance numbers keep going up
- 6:27Speaker 3: and the viewership numbers on TV keep going up. So
- 6:30Speaker 3: it turns out that people are actually turning onto racing,
- 6:34Speaker 3: they aren't turning off. Speaking of turning off, someone who
- 6:37Speaker 3: sort of disappeared for a while sixty four days. In fact,
- 6:41Speaker 3: we did not see her once on our television screens
- 6:45Speaker 3: or anywhere in public at a press conference, anything like this.
- 6:48Speaker 3: Sarah Hanson Young, the Green senator from South Australia, because
- 6:52Speaker 3: on the tenth of December last year, you may remember,
- 6:55Speaker 3: The Australian revealed that she had been using the partner
- 7:00Speaker 3: or family travel entitlements in order to fly her husband,
- 7:04Speaker 3: who is a lobbyist, from Adelaide to Canberra and back.
- 7:08Speaker 3: And she had spent in the order of fifty grand
- 7:12Speaker 3: flying her lobbyist husband to and from Canberra. And it
- 7:15Speaker 3: raised all these questions, if he's lobbyists, he's in Canberra,
- 7:19Speaker 3: is he doing any work up there?
- 7:21Speaker 1: She was cleared of any wrongdoing in this.
- 7:23Speaker 3: Situation, but still plenty of questions one might ask about
- 7:28Speaker 3: why you would spend fifty grand flying your lobbyist husband,
- 7:31Speaker 3: who is presumably earning a decent wage, whose job is
- 7:35Speaker 3: to talk to politicians.
- 7:36Speaker 1: To and from Canberra all the time.
- 7:38Speaker 3: Sixty four days we have not heard a word from
- 7:42Speaker 3: her and not seen her until today, Yes, the day
- 7:47Speaker 3: we find out that the Liberal Party's implosion may be over,
- 7:51Speaker 3: and they're going to change leaders.
- 7:53Speaker 1: Huge news day in politics.
- 7:56Speaker 3: Today is the day she's decided to resurface and tell
- 8:00Speaker 3: us what actually happened. She says, I did nothing wrong,
- 8:04Speaker 3: but I won't do it again.
- 8:07Speaker 5: I've made a decision that going forward, I'm not going
- 8:09Speaker 5: to use the entitlement because it's just not worth the
- 8:13Speaker 5: stress and the attention that it.
- 8:17Speaker 6: Brings on too families.
- 8:18Speaker 1: Were those rules used in good faith in the.
- 8:19Speaker 6: Past, Yeah, of course they were. They were always used
- 8:24Speaker 6: in good faith, Yeah they were.
- 8:28Speaker 3: Look, that's normally a regular spot that she does with
- 8:32Speaker 3: Peter Stefanovic. But she's not popped up on Sky in
- 8:35Speaker 3: her regular spot since the tenth of.
- 8:37Speaker 1: December last year.
- 8:39Speaker 3: Isn't it curious that, you know, when the rest of
- 8:41Speaker 3: the political media is focused on other things, she's thought,
- 8:45Speaker 3: now's the right time to make my re emergence into
- 8:48Speaker 3: the world.
- 8:48Speaker 2: I was fascinated by her reason for deciding she will
- 8:52Speaker 2: no longer use the family travels allowance at all. She said, quote,
- 8:56Speaker 2: it's not worth the stress and the attention to my family.
- 9:00Speaker 2: In other words, she's the victim here. It's the public
- 9:04Speaker 2: focus on her using the travel entitlements to fly her
- 9:06Speaker 2: lobbyist husband to Canberra. That has caused stress to her
- 9:10Speaker 2: and because of that, she's no longer going to do it.
- 9:13Speaker 2: Not because it's you know, it's not wrong, but it's
- 9:17Speaker 2: not really appropriate either, is it. She also said that
- 9:20Speaker 2: community expectations have changed. I don't think community expectations change.
- 9:24Speaker 2: I think senator expectations about what they can get away
- 9:27Speaker 2: with have changed. Hence she's no longer going to be
- 9:31Speaker 2: doing it.
- 9:32Speaker 5: Yeah, I think the dodgy thing here was that her
- 9:34Speaker 5: husband's a lobbyist, so he's going down to Canberra, he's
- 9:37Speaker 5: having all these meetings, he is making money, but then
- 9:40Speaker 5: essentially asking taxpayers to pick up the bill for him
- 9:43Speaker 5: to commute to work.
- 9:45Speaker 6: That's not right.
- 9:47Speaker 5: But I do think the travel entitlements for family reunions
- 9:51Speaker 5: are a good thing. I think generally speaking, our politicians
- 9:55Speaker 5: in this country are underpaid and undercompensated. It's a huge
- 9:58Speaker 5: pay cut for most of them to enter parliament. It
- 10:01Speaker 5: is very hard on your family life, especially if you're
- 10:05Speaker 5: a parent with kids, and so I don't think we
- 10:08Speaker 5: should just be bashing anyone that uses family entitlements. I agree,
- 10:11Speaker 5: And this is where you know, of course, with anaka
- 10:14Speaker 5: Wells flying her kids out for ski trips. That's ridiculous.
- 10:18Speaker 5: But in principle, yes, of course your family should be
- 10:21Speaker 5: able to join you in Canberra.
- 10:22Speaker 2: But if you listen to.
- 10:23Speaker 3: It's like if a couple of times a year the
- 10:25Speaker 3: wife and kids come and visit you, or the husband
- 10:27Speaker 3: and kids come and visit you in Canberra while you're working,
- 10:29Speaker 3: that's fine.
- 10:30Speaker 1: But when you're talking.
- 10:31Speaker 3: About fifty grand worth of flights over a few years,
- 10:34Speaker 3: or lean Anika Will's case, you know, a habby going
- 10:37Speaker 3: down and back in one day to Melbourne to go
- 10:40Speaker 3: to the footy or the cricket or something, it's not
- 10:43Speaker 3: really within the spirit of the rules, even if no
- 10:46Speaker 3: rules have been broke.
- 10:47Speaker 2: Hanson Young flew her lobbyist husband to Canberra seventy eight times,
- 10:51Speaker 2: and in that Sky interview we showed you a portion
- 10:54Speaker 2: of it. She made out like the issue was the
- 10:57Speaker 2: family reunion allowance itself, rather then specifically her husband was
- 11:02Speaker 2: a lobbyist working in Canberra. She ought not have been
- 11:05Speaker 2: doing that, and she spoke about the fact that it
- 11:07Speaker 2: was within the rules. And that's absolutely true. But I
- 11:11Speaker 2: had it when politicians defer to it, well, is it
- 11:14Speaker 2: legal or is it within the rules. That's not really
- 11:17Speaker 2: the question. The question is it appropriate. That's a better question,
- 11:20Speaker 2: and clearly it's not appropriate, which is why she's been
- 11:23Speaker 2: quiet for sixty four days and chosen today, of all days,
- 11:26Speaker 2: to pop her head up and say, oh, I'm not
- 11:28Speaker 2: going to do it anymore.
- 11:29Speaker 6: Yeah, that's exactly right.
- 11:30Speaker 5: And the problem is when people do abuse the system,
- 11:32Speaker 5: they ruin it for everyone, including the people that are
- 11:35Speaker 5: doing the right thing, but someone else or a group
- 11:38Speaker 5: of people who are ruining something for everyone. Down in Melbourne,
- 11:42Speaker 5: protesters are going wild, similar to what we saw here
- 11:46Speaker 5: in Sydney the other night. But President Isaac Hurtzog of
- 11:49Speaker 5: Israel was scheduled to visit the Adas Synagogue, which was
- 11:53Speaker 5: firebombed in an anti Semitic attack, but he was at
- 11:57Speaker 5: the last minute unable to go due to security concerns.
- 12:02Speaker 5: I mean, that is truly remarkable. You have the head
- 12:06Speaker 5: of state of a democratic ally in the Middle East,
- 12:10Speaker 5: in Australia, in solidarity with victims of an anti Semitic massacre,
- 12:17Speaker 5: and he can't even go to the site of another
- 12:20Speaker 5: alleged anti Semitic attack because of fears of more attacks.
- 12:25Speaker 5: I mean, at what point do you just go. Clearly,
- 12:29Speaker 5: we are no longer able to guarantee the safety of
- 12:33Speaker 5: Jewish Australians of Israelis. That is an indictment not just
- 12:37Speaker 5: on our government but also on the state police force.
- 12:41Speaker 5: The Clearly they're not being given enough powers to actually
- 12:43Speaker 5: protect Herzeng.
- 12:44Speaker 2: He's here to mourn with families and friends of the
- 12:48Speaker 2: Bondai victims, and it's appropriate he goes to Melbourne because
- 12:52Speaker 2: I mean anti Semitism. I think we've seen it at
- 12:54Speaker 2: its worst in Melbourne and the fire bombing of that
- 12:57Speaker 2: synagogue was particularly upsetting for the Jewish community in Victoria.
- 13:02Speaker 2: That he can't go to that site and meet with
- 13:06Speaker 2: the people who use that synagogue because police were concerned
- 13:09Speaker 2: about security arrangements is just shocking. But to give you
- 13:13Speaker 2: an idea of what Jews in Victoria have to put
- 13:16Speaker 2: up with, have a look at this photograph that was
- 13:18Speaker 2: published by the ABC. It's Melbourne University. Someone spray painted
- 13:23Speaker 2: just this morning on one of the university buildings, Death
- 13:27Speaker 2: to Herzog and Israel and Oz and you might be
- 13:31Speaker 2: able to make out there there's the Hamas symbol has
- 13:33Speaker 2: been painted on the wall as well. Curiously, police declined
- 13:39Speaker 2: to comment, which I don't think is good enough. Police
- 13:41Speaker 2: should comment, and in that photo you can see a
- 13:44Speaker 2: CCTV camera there. Police should make a comment that they
- 13:47Speaker 2: will find the culprits who did this. I mean, it's
- 13:50Speaker 2: one thing to say globalize the Interfada. It's another thing
- 13:54Speaker 2: to say death death to the IDF. But to say
- 13:57Speaker 2: death to Herzog, a visiting dignitary who's there to mourn
- 14:03Speaker 2: with the Jewish community, is just outrageous.
- 14:06Speaker 3: Yeah, it is an incitement to voce. I mean, whatever
- 14:09Speaker 3: it is. You don't just go around calling for people
- 14:12Speaker 3: to be dead. I mean, if I came on here
- 14:14Speaker 3: and not in this context of talking about what was there,
- 14:17Speaker 3: but quite earnestly said death the Hertzog, I wouldn't have
- 14:22Speaker 3: a job tomorrow. And fair enough, because you just can't
- 14:25Speaker 3: do that stuff. It should be investigated with the full
- 14:28Speaker 3: force of the law. But clearly you have a situation.
- 14:32Speaker 3: It would seem in Victoria anyway, where the animals are
- 14:35Speaker 3: running the zoo, and if the animals are able to
- 14:39Speaker 3: put the fear into the zookeepers that if you dare
- 14:44Speaker 3: to lawfully go and visit a synagogue, something is going
- 14:48Speaker 3: to happen to the point that they feel like they
- 14:51Speaker 3: can't ensure the security. My argument in that situation would
- 14:55Speaker 3: be that doubly means you've got to go to the
- 14:57Speaker 3: synagogue because you have to make a point.
- 15:00Speaker 1: You have to make a point.
- 15:01Speaker 3: That we are in charge and if you try it on,
- 15:05Speaker 3: you are going to feel the full force of the law.
- 15:08Speaker 3: And it's not an entirely analogous situation, but I think
- 15:12Speaker 3: of in nineteen seventy one when the spring Box toured
- 15:16Speaker 3: Australia and there were protests, big protests about that, and
- 15:21Speaker 3: so jo Bi LK. Peterson, as Premier of Queensland, ensured
- 15:25Speaker 3: that the spring Box were able to play, and of
- 15:27Speaker 3: course at the time there were big issues with apartheid
- 15:30Speaker 3: in South Africa. He declared the stadium where they were
- 15:34Speaker 3: to play as a special site or whatever the term
- 15:38Speaker 3: was under law, which meant that the police had ultimate
- 15:40Speaker 3: power to control the area, and when.
- 15:43Speaker 1: Protesters rocked up, the police just mode right through them.
- 15:47Speaker 3: Now, of course they are two very different situations. But
- 15:50Speaker 3: what I'm trying to say is that if a state
- 15:53Speaker 3: government wants to make something happen, it can it has
- 15:57Speaker 3: the powers to do it. And this is a situation,
- 16:00Speaker 3: situation where they should have been able to say we
- 16:03Speaker 3: absolutely have the right to go there and if you
- 16:05Speaker 3: try it on in terms of threatening our safety, not
- 16:08Speaker 3: going to happen.
- 16:08Speaker 5: We saw during COVID the Victorian government has no issues
- 16:11Speaker 5: but massive crowd control, rubba bullets, using any kind of
- 16:16Speaker 5: force required to contain a crowd. They're perfectly happy to
- 16:19Speaker 5: do it. Then why aren't they willing to do it now?
- 16:22Speaker 5: And why is it always the Jewish community that has
- 16:25Speaker 5: to hide, that has to stay away. It's the same
- 16:28Speaker 5: thing that happened after October seven with the Opera House.
- 16:30Speaker 5: It was the Jewish community, even though the Opera House
- 16:33Speaker 5: was being lit up for them, they were the ones
- 16:35Speaker 5: that were told to stay away from the city. That's
- 16:38Speaker 5: not good enough.
- 16:38Speaker 2: Let's have a listened to some of the flawed logic
- 16:40Speaker 2: of those who were protesting the president's visit today.
- 16:44Speaker 7: That's rail today is an apartheid system And to me,
- 16:47Speaker 7: from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free
- 16:50Speaker 7: is about a society of equality.
- 16:53Speaker 8: Melbourne is showing up and as a collective community, we
- 16:56Speaker 8: don't support genocide.
- 16:58Speaker 1: It's just terrible what's happened.
- 17:00Speaker 3: They're in Gaza and Israel has just been incredibly cruel, ruthless.
- 17:08Speaker 2: That first guy Israel is an apartheid system. Guaranteed he's
- 17:12Speaker 2: never been to Israel anyway. You can't help these people,
- 17:16Speaker 2: and they continue to insist they show up on behalf
- 17:18Speaker 2: of Melbourne. I don't think they're there on behalf of
- 17:21Speaker 2: many more people than themselves. But you know, the craziness continues,
- 17:25Speaker 2: not just in Victoria. If you want crazy, go to
- 17:28Speaker 2: Victoria or the United Nations. That's your other option where
- 17:31Speaker 2: Iran have just been made co chairs of the Committee
- 17:36Speaker 2: for Social Development. Now the UN's Committee for Social Development
- 17:39Speaker 2: focuses on gender equality, tolerance, nonviolence and promoting would you
- 17:46Speaker 2: believe it? Democracy? Could you imagine a worse nation to
- 17:50Speaker 2: co chair a committee responsible for the promotion of democracy
- 17:54Speaker 2: around the world than Iran. I'm not sure what is
- 17:58Speaker 2: more surprising than that they were nominated for the position,
- 18:02Speaker 2: or that when nominated not a single voice of objection
- 18:05Speaker 2: in the United Nations was raised.
- 18:10Speaker 9: May I take it that the Commission wishes to elect
- 18:12Speaker 9: by acclamation mister Abbas Tajik of the Islamic Republic of
- 18:16Speaker 9: Iran and mister Shahriar Krajev of a Zerbaijan as wise
- 18:20Speaker 9: chairs of the sixty fifth session of the Commission for
- 18:23Speaker 9: Social Development. I hear no objection. It is so decided.
- 18:30Speaker 2: Are they completely unaware about what's been happening in Iran
- 18:34Speaker 2: the last number of weeks? I mean, what is it?
- 18:36Speaker 2: Forty fifty thousand civilians killed, people being killed in hospitals,
- 18:41Speaker 2: doctors and lawyers being rounded up, so they can't give
- 18:44Speaker 2: testimony to the fact that the regime has been cracking
- 18:48Speaker 2: down on citizens wanting their freedom, and the UN says, yeah, sure,
- 18:52Speaker 2: let's have Iran on our Committee for Promoting Democracy and
- 18:56Speaker 2: Tolerance around the world.
- 18:57Speaker 5: Well, and opposition politicians FORMOST, they've also been rounded up.
- 19:01Speaker 5: So so much for democracy. It does not exist in Iran,
- 19:06Speaker 5: that's for sure. Look, frankly, I'm not surprised. I think
- 19:09Speaker 5: the UN has completely discredited itself. It's just a joke
- 19:13Speaker 5: at this point. I'm not sure why we give it
- 19:16Speaker 5: any funding whatsoever. What good has the UN actually achieved?
- 19:20Speaker 5: Can someone points to the outcomes it's created, maybe in
- 19:23Speaker 5: the areas of poverty reduction and that kind of thing,
- 19:27Speaker 5: But when it comes to all these commissions and chairs
- 19:30Speaker 5: and Human Rights Counsel. Genuinely, what have they achieved? Absolutely nothing?
- 19:35Speaker 5: And don't forget in twenty twenty five the UN past
- 19:39Speaker 5: fifteen resolutions condemning Israel and just eleven resolutions condemning all
- 19:45Speaker 5: other countries in the world combined. That has been the
- 19:49Speaker 5: story of the UN for many decades. Now it's time
- 19:53Speaker 5: we just say enough.
- 19:55Speaker 3: I think UN stands for useless nonsense, doesn't it. I mean,
- 19:58Speaker 3: satire is dead. Seriously, you could get the writers of
- 20:04Speaker 3: I don't know what Utopia the thick of it, Yes, Minister, Yes,
- 20:09Speaker 3: Prime Minister, frontline monty pythons wore.
- 20:12Speaker 1: On everything, Monty python.
- 20:14Speaker 3: You get them all in a room and they wouldn't
- 20:16Speaker 3: be able to come up with something as simple yet
- 20:19Speaker 3: as funny as that that the UN would go, oh, yes.
- 20:23Speaker 1: This just makes a lot of sense. We'll have you
- 20:26Speaker 1: run in charge of this thing.
- 20:27Speaker 3: Don't forget a couple of years ago and Saudi Arabia
- 20:31Speaker 3: was put in charge of the Commission on the Status
- 20:35Speaker 3: of Women.
- 20:36Speaker 1: I mean, do they not stop and think when they
- 20:40Speaker 1: do this?
- 20:41Speaker 3: Oh Jesus, I wonder if this looks strange at all?
- 20:45Speaker 2: Like I remember, remember was it last year or the
- 20:49Speaker 2: year before when the Taliban were invited to a ten
- 20:51Speaker 2: day climate change conference with the United Nations. We know
- 20:55Speaker 2: the Taliban are very committed to, you know, making sure
- 20:58Speaker 2: global warming is combatant.
- 21:00Speaker 3: If you're worried about global warming, you're probably the sort
- 21:03Speaker 3: of person who drinks oat milk, it should be said.
- 21:05Speaker 3: And they've had a landmark court case in the UK
- 21:09Speaker 3: overnight where they have decided that a oat milk company,
- 21:14Speaker 3: Oatly is the product, is no longer able to advertise
- 21:18Speaker 3: its product by using the word milk.
- 21:21Speaker 1: Now, they already actually have.
- 21:22Speaker 3: Laws in the UK that say you can't label milk
- 21:27Speaker 3: products as things that aren't dairy. So over there, I
- 21:30Speaker 3: think they call it oat drink to legally get around it.
- 21:34Speaker 3: But what this company Oatly within doing to try and
- 21:38Speaker 3: get the milk on their cartons was they were using
- 21:42Speaker 3: and had tried to copyright, the term post milk generation,
- 21:47Speaker 3: which would mean they would be able to write milk
- 21:49Speaker 3: on their cartons and therefore people would go oat milk right. Well,
- 21:53Speaker 3: the court has struck this down. The dairy industry has
- 21:56Speaker 3: been fighting against this for years now, and finally the
- 22:00Speaker 3: cord has decided in the UK that know, if you
- 22:02Speaker 3: are made of oats or almonds or soy.
- 22:06Speaker 1: It's not milk.
- 22:07Speaker 3: You're not allowed to use the term milk. And we've
- 22:11Speaker 3: been having these discussions here too. I think this should
- 22:13Speaker 3: go worldwide.
- 22:14Speaker 1: If it doesn't come out of an animal, you can't
- 22:17Speaker 1: call it milk.
- 22:18Speaker 3: And I'll tell you who's feeling vindicated, Nigel Farage, because
- 22:22Speaker 3: he raised exactly this point a few years ago.
- 22:26Speaker 2: So I'm in a smart home sound in London. I've
- 22:28Speaker 2: got a cup of coffee.
- 22:28Speaker 3: I want some milk.
- 22:30Speaker 9: Let's have a look.
- 22:31Speaker 2: We've got semi skim that don't like that oat milk?
- 22:34Speaker 2: What on earth that one is?
- 22:35Speaker 3: At home?
- 22:36Speaker 2: Almond milk? All I want is proper bloody milk, not
- 22:39Speaker 2: left wing options, proper milk. What's wrong with me asking
- 22:41Speaker 2: for that?
- 22:44Speaker 1: Two right proper bloody milk.
- 22:46Speaker 3: I don't know why people drink that low fat crap.
- 22:49Speaker 3: It's just taste hot water. You gotta have full cream
- 22:52Speaker 3: as far as I'm concerned. But a win for common
- 22:54Speaker 3: sense that you can't put milk on the label of
- 22:57Speaker 3: a product that doesn't come out of a cow or
- 22:59Speaker 3: a goat or some other animal that can be milk.
- 23:02Speaker 3: We should be doing this here in Australia as well.
- 23:04Speaker 5: And a more accurate description for oat milk is not milk.
- 23:07Speaker 6: It's juice. It is oat juice.
- 23:10Speaker 5: And when you look at how it's created, it's actually disgusting.
- 23:13Speaker 5: A lot of people seem to think it's somehow healthier
- 23:16Speaker 5: than milk, but it has to go through about ten
- 23:19Speaker 5: artificial steps to get to a point where it's even drinkable,
- 23:22Speaker 5: because oats don't naturally turn into milk. That's the thing.
- 23:26Speaker 5: How do you get it to that point? It's not healthy,
- 23:29Speaker 5: it's not milk. It's basically juice and it's gross anyway,
- 23:33Speaker 5: So why would you drink here?
- 23:34Speaker 3: Then when you look at your porridge in the morning,
- 23:35Speaker 3: you haven't found the teats on the.
- 23:37Speaker 1: Little oats, ye?
- 23:38Speaker 2: Right? So can I point out the glaring hypocrisy here?
- 23:41Speaker 3: Right?
- 23:41Speaker 2: So the UK Supreme Court says you cannot call oat
- 23:45Speaker 2: milk milk because it's not milk. And yet the NHS
- 23:50Speaker 2: says that if a man uses drugs to induce lactation,
- 23:54Speaker 2: the milk that comes from his nipples are every bit
- 23:57Speaker 2: as good for babies as the milk from a pregnant mother.
- 24:00Speaker 2: How do you get those two things from the same country?
- 24:04Speaker 2: All the same time. It's absolutely ludicrous. In fact, the
- 24:07Speaker 2: NHS went as far as to say that we shouldn't
- 24:10Speaker 2: talk about breast milk or mother's milk, we should talk
- 24:13Speaker 2: about human milk so as not to be biased. So
- 24:17Speaker 2: this is the madness of Western culture. You can't say
- 24:20Speaker 2: oat milk because that's not real milk, but you must
- 24:23Speaker 2: say human milk as opposed to breast milk or a
- 24:28Speaker 2: mother's milk because men can produce milk for babies too.
- 24:32Speaker 2: It's just madness and the.
- 24:33Speaker 5: Amount of hormones and stuff you have to give these
- 24:36Speaker 5: men to supposedly induce lactation. It's about as artificial as
- 24:40Speaker 5: oat milk. It doesn't exist naturally. It is not a thing.
- 24:44Speaker 6: It should not be a thing. You're so right to
- 24:46Speaker 6: call that out.
- 24:47Speaker 5: Someone else who's in the UK calling out hypocrisy and
- 24:51Speaker 5: the downfall of the nation as they.
- 24:53Speaker 6: See it, is Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
- 24:55Speaker 5: He is the co owner of the Manchester United football
- 24:58Speaker 5: team and a very successful businessman. Now he has come
- 25:03Speaker 5: out and said the UK is being colonized by migrants.
- 25:09Speaker 6: Have a listen, afford.
- 25:11Speaker 8: You can't have an economy with nine million people on
- 25:14Speaker 8: benefits and huge levels of immigrants coming into I mean,
- 25:20Speaker 8: the UK's being colonized. It's costing too much money. It
- 25:23Speaker 8: will cause, it will cause the UK has been colonized
- 25:29Speaker 8: by immigrants, really, isn't it.
- 25:31Speaker 6: He's just given up caring. I love that he's like, yeah, yeah,
- 25:35Speaker 6: well I said what I said.
- 25:36Speaker 2: See, when you're a billionaire, you can afford to say
- 25:38Speaker 2: stuff like that exactly.
- 25:39Speaker 5: And so Kirstalm has come back and obviously thrown a
- 25:42Speaker 5: big tantrum. He said, oh well, Britain is a proud,
- 25:46Speaker 5: tolerant and diverse country. Does not even mean okay, well, look,
- 25:52Speaker 5: I mean I think he's onto something. If you think
- 25:55Speaker 5: about what is the definition of colonization. You move into
- 25:59Speaker 5: a new territory, you establish a permanent population. You impose
- 26:04Speaker 5: your customs, your institutions, your traditions on the native population.
- 26:10Speaker 5: You then reduce the ability of the native population to
- 26:13Speaker 5: determine their own affairs. You change the demographics. I mean,
- 26:16Speaker 5: it's not colonization in the traditional sense that we might
- 26:19Speaker 5: all think about, but it certainly has reshaped the UK.
- 26:23Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, the Manchester United Muslims Supporters Club. I'm not
- 26:28Speaker 2: sure why you need a Muslim supporters club. Why don't
- 26:30Speaker 2: you just have a Manchester United supporters club. You wouldn't
- 26:33Speaker 2: have a Christian supporters club or a Buddhist supporters club
- 26:36Speaker 2: either for that matter. They said that these comments by
- 26:40Speaker 2: the boss of the footy club frames migrants as invaders
- 26:46Speaker 2: and demographic threats. Well, when you see footage of people
- 26:50Speaker 2: arriving on mass in boats and then running across beaches,
- 26:55Speaker 2: and you look at the change in the demography of
- 26:58Speaker 2: the UK and and see it with their own eyes,
- 27:02Speaker 2: I don't think you're disparaging migrants by simply pointing out
- 27:05Speaker 2: that the demography is changing and that people are arriving
- 27:09Speaker 2: in Britain uninvited. Mass immigration is certainly impacting community harmony,
- 27:16Speaker 2: but it seems like the only people that ever get
- 27:18Speaker 2: in trouble are the ones who dare to notice it.
- 27:21Speaker 3: And it's fair to raise demography is an issue. I mean,
- 27:25Speaker 3: can you imagine I don't know Nicaragua, for instance, if
- 27:30Speaker 3: white people just started moving there on mass and then
- 27:33Speaker 3: we're largely building up the population, people in Nicaragua would
- 27:37Speaker 3: just sit there and.
- 27:38Speaker 1: Go, ah, whatever, well money, turn around and go hang on.
- 27:41Speaker 3: My country looks a little different to how it used
- 27:43Speaker 3: to look, and they're well within their rights to say that,
- 27:46Speaker 3: which surely we are in the West as well. And
- 27:49Speaker 3: it's interesting because when you drill down into the numbers,
- 27:51Speaker 3: and we can only deal with the last census, which
- 27:54Speaker 3: was twenty one twenty two, sixteen percent of the British
- 27:58Speaker 3: population was born overseas, which is, according to our last census,
- 28:02Speaker 3: roughly half the proportion as there is in Australia. So
- 28:07Speaker 3: we actually have a lot more new migrants in our
- 28:10Speaker 3: country than the UK does. But in London they make
- 28:14Speaker 3: up forty percent of the population people who were born overseas.
- 28:17Speaker 3: And the vast difference in the UK, of course is
- 28:21Speaker 3: that their Muslim population. And again this is all based
- 28:24Speaker 3: on five year old census data, but five years ago
- 28:27Speaker 3: their Muslim population was double what ours was in Australia
- 28:31Speaker 3: as a proportion of the population, right and the UK
- 28:34Speaker 3: we know they've got Sharia councils operating over there. So
- 28:39Speaker 3: even though there might be fewer migrants per head of population,
- 28:42Speaker 3: as a country, it's a country where they have seen
- 28:45Speaker 3: the effects of large populations of migrants in certain areas,
- 28:50Speaker 3: in particular having a lot of sway and you've seen
- 28:53Speaker 3: it in the laws and the way that it's being
- 28:54Speaker 3: applied in terms of you know what is and isn't
- 28:57Speaker 3: hate speech. Now people being pulled up by the police
- 29:00Speaker 3: for mildly offensive tweets or making a racist joke. It's
- 29:04Speaker 3: a country where they've really felt the brunt of what
- 29:07Speaker 3: can happen if you let things go too fast, And
- 29:09Speaker 3: that's the key.
- 29:10Speaker 5: You can have immigration, and Australia always has and you
- 29:14Speaker 5: can have it, but it's got to be at such
- 29:16Speaker 5: a level where people can integrate into society. If it's
- 29:21Speaker 5: at a level where that doesn't happen, because you simply
- 29:24Speaker 5: don't have to to continue to live your life, all
- 29:27Speaker 5: ethnic enclaves start to form, that undermines the country for everyone.
- 29:32Speaker 2: So you can understand when you see the change to
- 29:35Speaker 2: British culture why people like the boss of the Manchester
- 29:38Speaker 2: United footy club would feel like our country is being changed.
- 29:43Speaker 2: They even taken from us. Have look at this incident
- 29:46Speaker 2: an old man confronted by police over some words that
- 29:49Speaker 2: he was told he ought not have said.
- 29:52Speaker 7: Apparently doing some conversations between yourself, apparently you've let you
- 29:57Speaker 7: have alleged we weren't here, so I don't know you
- 29:59Speaker 7: said it. You've alleged to say speak English. Yeah, that's fine,
- 30:08Speaker 7: and that's why we've just come to speak because potentially
- 30:12Speaker 7: someone could perceive that as a hate crime.
- 30:16Speaker 2: So if an English if in an English speaking country
- 30:19Speaker 2: called England, by the way, you say to someone, hey
- 30:22Speaker 2: could you speak English, that's a hate crime. No wonder
- 30:26Speaker 2: people want to vote reform.
- 30:28Speaker 5: I just don't understand how, on any level, any sane definition,
- 30:33Speaker 5: that could be a hate crime. And what you're essentially
- 30:36Speaker 5: saying is it is offensive and potentially illegal to ask
- 30:42Speaker 5: people who've come into your country to adapt to.
- 30:46Speaker 6: Your way of life. Well, what is the point.
- 30:49Speaker 5: Of them coming to the UK if you don't actually
- 30:52Speaker 5: want to live in the UK?
- 30:53Speaker 6: Follow their rules, their con If you ever go to it's.
- 30:55Speaker 2: FIVI go to Paris. They don't have any hesitation in
- 30:58Speaker 2: saying hey speak for I'm sure we don't speak at
- 31:01Speaker 2: all while we're in the UK. And talking about migrants,
- 31:04Speaker 2: of course, Kirs Starmer announced plan where for every migrant
- 31:08Speaker 2: who crossed the channel illegally into the UK, they'd send
- 31:11Speaker 2: that person back to France and take an immigrant from
- 31:15Speaker 2: France who had arrived legally and was properly documented. Will
- 31:19Speaker 2: those being sent back to France having crossed the channel illegally,
- 31:23Speaker 2: are now trying to remain in the UK by claiming
- 31:26Speaker 2: that they are victims of modern slavery. So Kiir Starmer's
- 31:30Speaker 2: plan to send these people back is being thwarted because
- 31:33Speaker 2: four out of ten of them now have human rights
- 31:36Speaker 2: lawyers who are taking their claims to court. This threatens
- 31:40Speaker 2: to completely undermine Kirstarmer's one in, one out promise, which
- 31:45Speaker 2: was supposed to deal with the immigration problem. This is
- 31:49Speaker 2: not new though. We've seen this, haven't we Caleb over
- 31:51Speaker 2: the past couple of years, where people arrive in the
- 31:55Speaker 2: UK illegally, then human rights lawyers tout for work and
- 32:00Speaker 2: find loophole after loophole in the British court system to
- 32:03Speaker 2: keep them in the country.
- 32:04Speaker 1: And do you blame them?
- 32:05Speaker 3: I mean, you know, this is a country where we've
- 32:07Speaker 3: seen people get out of being deported because their sons
- 32:11Speaker 3: don't like the taste of chicken nuggets in Algeria.
- 32:14Speaker 1: I mean, why would you not, as.
- 32:16Speaker 3: A human rights lawyer, say hey, let's try on the
- 32:18Speaker 3: slavery defense and if that one doesn't work, we'll just
- 32:21Speaker 3: say you don't like the food back home, and you
- 32:22Speaker 3: can't possibly go back there because you've acclimatized to the
- 32:25Speaker 3: chicken nuggets in the UK. Now, when your own laws
- 32:30Speaker 3: are working against you, you have something wrong. Surely a
- 32:34Speaker 3: country has the right to assert its own sovereignty and
- 32:38Speaker 3: eternal authority about who comes in and out of its country,
- 32:42Speaker 3: and if they say you don't belong there, you simply
- 32:44Speaker 3: don't belong there.
- 32:45Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly.
- 32:46Speaker 5: But I mean, to be honest, even though it is
- 32:49Speaker 5: bad that people are using and exploiting the law to stay,
- 32:53Speaker 5: I don't think Kirstarma's one in one out policy was
- 32:55Speaker 5: going to make one ayota of difference anyway, to be
- 32:59Speaker 5: perfectly honest, But to give you a scale of just
- 33:03Speaker 5: how badly the illegal migration problem has blown out. In
- 33:07Speaker 5: twenty eighteen they had two hundred and ninety nine people
- 33:10Speaker 5: cross the Channel illegally. Since Kirstarma became Prime Minister, sixty
- 33:15Speaker 5: six thousands have crossed the channel.
- 33:18Speaker 2: Seven hundred and ninety one a week.
- 33:20Speaker 5: Insane. I mean that is insane. How do you where
- 33:23Speaker 5: do you even start the one in, one out When
- 33:25Speaker 5: you're having to process each one of these through the courts,
- 33:28Speaker 5: It's very expensive, It's going to take a long time. Unfortunately,
- 33:31Speaker 5: for the UK unless they literally start stopping the boats,
- 33:35Speaker 5: which is what we did here in Australia.
- 33:36Speaker 6: There's no hope for them.
- 33:38Speaker 2: Why you have a navy.
- 33:40Speaker 3: It's just insane And I just remembered as well, just
- 33:44Speaker 3: going back to the previous thing we're talking about with
- 33:46Speaker 3: Sakia has said that Radcliffe has to apologize for saying
- 33:50Speaker 3: they've been colonized by immorants. Sakira is the man who
- 33:53Speaker 3: just a few months ago said that the UK risks
- 33:56Speaker 3: becoming an island of strangers if it didn't do something
- 34:01Speaker 3: about illegal migration. So you know, you can't have it
- 34:04Speaker 3: both ways.
- 34:06Speaker 2: He's trying to though, is he tries to throw a
- 34:08Speaker 2: little crumb to people who might be tempted to vote reform,
- 34:11Speaker 2: but then he reverts to his true colors, which is
- 34:14Speaker 2: very pro mass immigration and he doesn't mind how they
- 34:17Speaker 2: get there.
- 34:17Speaker 3: Indeed, now sometimes when I'm watching Sakia Starmer, I think
- 34:20Speaker 3: he may will be an AI character bot or something.
- 34:24Speaker 3: He just kind of has that cadence about him. He's
- 34:27Speaker 3: just so incredibly boring that you think, is this man
- 34:31Speaker 3: actually real? There are radio stations, would you believe it?
- 34:34Speaker 3: In Australia where they are now using AI presenters and
- 34:38Speaker 3: they typically don't declare this. There's some work has been
- 34:43Speaker 3: done to show on some FM stations they have actually been.
- 34:47Speaker 1: Voice tracking with AI voices.
- 34:50Speaker 3: And the new Code of Conduct for radios Radio on
- 34:53Speaker 3: Australia came out today for twenty twenty six and radio
- 34:57Speaker 3: stations will now have to declare if they are using
- 35:00Speaker 3: AI to generate a quote unquote presenter on air, and
- 35:05Speaker 3: fair enough, I think they should too. I mean, you know,
- 35:07Speaker 3: if they're going to put us.
- 35:08Speaker 1: Out of a job, that's where I really cross draw
- 35:10Speaker 1: the line.
- 35:12Speaker 2: Well, it won't apply to weather reports, traffic reports or
- 35:16Speaker 2: just general updates, but news and music they'll have to declare.
- 35:21Speaker 2: On Spotify now you can get a AI DJ to
- 35:26Speaker 2: rate your playlist and they introduce the songs and they
- 35:29Speaker 2: tell you about it and it's terrible.
- 35:32Speaker 5: Actually really like it. I mean, I think this is
- 35:35Speaker 5: the era where entering, where everything is ultra personalized through AI,
- 35:39Speaker 5: and you can have this like custom news presenter who
- 35:42Speaker 5: delivers the news exactly you would be interested in.
- 35:45Speaker 6: It's cool.
- 35:46Speaker 2: I object to this machine talking to me like we
- 35:48Speaker 2: have some sort of relationship. He knows not.
- 35:51Speaker 5: Real he probably knows you better than yourself, to be honest.
- 35:54Speaker 1: Well, that's the scary thing.
- 35:55Speaker 3: Is One of the other things they brought in just
- 35:57Speaker 3: quickly in this new code of conduct is the the
- 36:00Speaker 3: stuff that you can broadcast between eight and nine am
- 36:03Speaker 3: and three and four pm, which is and they think
- 36:05Speaker 3: kids are in the car, which is basically just trying
- 36:07Speaker 3: to gag Carl and Jackie over right, because they keep
- 36:10Speaker 3: getting into trouble. I'm just going to say, Carl and Jackie,
- 36:13Speaker 3: I've been on air for what tweety years together.
- 36:15Speaker 1: If you haven't worked.
- 36:16Speaker 3: Out what they talk about by now, maybe just turn
- 36:19Speaker 3: the radio off between eight and nine.
- 36:21Speaker 2: All right, let's go to a break. When we come back,
- 36:23Speaker 2: we'll look at what's making headlines tomorrow, including Jewish leaders
- 36:26Speaker 2: saying that private security guards outside synagogues and schools should
- 36:32Speaker 2: be armed. We'll talk about that and more in just
- 36:34Speaker 2: a moment. Welcome back to the program. Well, I don't
- 36:43Speaker 2: think there's any prizes for guessing what's the main story
- 36:46Speaker 2: in tomorrow's papers.
- 36:47Speaker 6: Freya, No, absolutely not.
- 36:48Speaker 5: It is being dominated by the leadership spill that is
- 36:51Speaker 5: going to happen at nine am tomorrow. But the Telegraph
- 36:54Speaker 5: does have a pretty good headline loan le Liberal ms
- 37:00Speaker 5: dessert Susan ahead of Lib spill in The Australian, another
- 37:05Speaker 5: good headline, do or die? Will good opposition start today?
- 37:11Speaker 5: And here they sort of get into what's going on tomorrow.
- 37:14Speaker 5: Angus Taylor is poised to become the seventeenth Liberal leader
- 37:17Speaker 5: on Friday morning, as several Susan Lee allies concede she's
- 37:21Speaker 5: likely to lose a spill and leading conservatives warn the
- 37:25Speaker 5: desertion of two million supporters since May risks the very
- 37:29Speaker 5: survival of a party that must now change direction. The
- 37:34Speaker 5: snowballing of support for a leadership change led to ten
- 37:36Speaker 5: front bench resignations on Thursday evening, with mister Taylor's focus
- 37:41Speaker 5: on a pledge to tackle one nation on cultural issues
- 37:44Speaker 5: and revamp up the fight against Anthony Albanezi on economics.
- 37:49Speaker 5: And be sure to be watching tomorrow morning for the
- 37:53Speaker 5: Liberal leadership showdown here on Sky News, Susan Lee and
- 37:57Speaker 5: Angus Taylor going head to head in the long anticipated
- 38:00Speaker 5: leadership vote. Sky will have all the key moments and
- 38:04Speaker 5: live rolling coverage from eight am. So what do you
- 38:08Speaker 5: guys reckon? Is it a done deal? Fingers?
- 38:10Speaker 2: Absolutely done deal? Nothing? Surer? What will be interesting is
- 38:14Speaker 2: to observe who the deputy is and how he arranges
- 38:18Speaker 2: his shadow cabinet, because the headline in the Australian I
- 38:22Speaker 2: think is pretty apt it to do or die. We
- 38:24Speaker 2: can't afford incremental change when you've lost that many did
- 38:27Speaker 2: you say, two many mills?
- 38:29Speaker 6: Seven thousand a.
- 38:31Speaker 2: Day a day that they've been losing, So you can't
- 38:34Speaker 2: adjust things minimally. You can't have small changes. You've got
- 38:38Speaker 2: to really go for broke. Will he have the courage
- 38:41Speaker 2: to do that? We'll see.
- 38:42Speaker 3: Yeah, well that's what we really need to find out
- 38:45Speaker 3: after he wins the leadership tomorrow, which of course you will.
- 38:48Speaker 3: I mean, you'd have to be an absolute fool to
- 38:51Speaker 3: bring this on if you.
- 38:52Speaker 1: Didn't know you already had the numbers right, because that's
- 38:55Speaker 1: just like total death.
- 38:57Speaker 3: So he will win tomorrow and then he has to
- 38:59Speaker 3: come out with a really strong case for how he's
- 39:02Speaker 3: going to rebuild the Liberal Party. What is interesting you
- 39:05Speaker 3: talk about the deputy position. All the names that have
- 39:09Speaker 3: been thrown up today, except for Ted O'Brien, who will
- 39:12Speaker 3: probably via to keep his spot as deputy, are in
- 39:15Speaker 3: or from Victoria. So we may be seeing a bit
- 39:18Speaker 3: of a you know, I mean, once upon a time
- 39:20Speaker 3: the Victorians.
- 39:20Speaker 1: Basically ruled the Liberal Party, but.
- 39:23Speaker 3: It's a long time since we've seen that, so we
- 39:25Speaker 3: might see a bit of a resurgence of Victorians in
- 39:27Speaker 3: the Liberal Party. I'm hearing this evening that Tim Wilson
- 39:31Speaker 3: may vote for Angus Taylor. If there's a suggestion he
- 39:34Speaker 3: could get shadow Treasury, that Dan t and who we
- 39:37Speaker 3: know is going to vote for Angus Taylor, would likely
- 39:40Speaker 3: get a shadow foreign which is what he wants. So look,
- 39:43Speaker 3: it'll be very interesting to see how all of this
- 39:46Speaker 3: pans out tomorrow and what his message is for.
- 39:50Speaker 1: How we actually fix this.
- 39:52Speaker 3: Because it's all good and well to say, Okay, Lee's gone,
- 39:55Speaker 3: polling numbers are bad, gotta go.
- 39:58Speaker 1: Where do you go after that?
- 39:59Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 40:00Speaker 5: One of the lines that's often used about Angus Taylor
- 40:03Speaker 5: is that he is the best policy brain in the coalition.
- 40:07Speaker 5: But sometimes when you're too smart, you're actually too smart.
- 40:10Speaker 6: For your own good.
- 40:11Speaker 5: You miss the forest through the trees, And when you're
- 40:13Speaker 5: in opposition, you don't have the luxury of time, certainly
- 40:17Speaker 5: not the Liberal Party right now.
- 40:18Speaker 6: You can't be across every detail.
- 40:20Speaker 5: You do have to go with your gut and just
- 40:23Speaker 5: make decisions on the fly. So that will be the
- 40:25Speaker 5: test of does angus have the goods to deliver? But look,
- 40:29Speaker 5: can it really get much worse?
- 40:30Speaker 6: No, hopefully not.
- 40:32Speaker 2: Actually every time they both He's the best policy brain
- 40:34Speaker 2: in the party. I think. So was Kevin Rudd. So
- 40:37Speaker 2: was Malcolm Turnbull allegedly so you know, I'm not sure
- 40:41Speaker 2: that he was a.
- 40:42Speaker 5: Road scholar and a McKinsey partner and one of the university.
- 40:46Speaker 2: Medal was a Hodes scholar as well. And yeah, he
- 40:48Speaker 2: did much good.
- 40:49Speaker 6: He was brilliant.
- 40:50Speaker 2: I'm not knocking Tony Abbitt. I'm just saying it didn't
- 40:53Speaker 2: help it retain the premise that is.
- 40:55Speaker 3: Lost thirty news polls in a row. And that's how
- 40:58Speaker 3: Malcolm Turnbull.
- 40:59Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly.
- 41:00Speaker 5: Anyway, Also in the Australian Tomorrow arm private security guards,
- 41:04Speaker 5: senior rabbi Anti Semitism Royal Commission of Virginia Bell and
- 41:07Speaker 5: her team have begun meeting with Jewish community leaders, and
- 41:11Speaker 5: one senior figure has demanded Jewish private security be armed
- 41:15Speaker 5: and Asier police communication breakdowns be investigated. Three sources of
- 41:20Speaker 5: confirmed Miss Belle met with Jewish community leaders on Thursday morning,
- 41:23Speaker 5: for a procedural discussion. I mean, to be perfectly honest,
- 41:27Speaker 5: given the climate we're living in, why shouldn't they be armed?
- 41:30Speaker 5: I mean that would seem like a pretty common sense
- 41:32Speaker 5: position to me.
- 41:33Speaker 2: It is a common sense position, and it's such a
- 41:36Speaker 2: shame that we have a country where that is seen
- 41:39Speaker 2: as common sense. I remember going when I was younger,
- 41:42Speaker 2: went to the Philippines and you'd shocked you'd see armed guards,
- 41:45Speaker 2: armed security guards everywhere because it was such a foreign
- 41:48Speaker 2: concept to be thinking now that it makes a lot
- 41:51Speaker 2: of sense to have the same here in Australia shows
- 41:54Speaker 2: just how far we've fallen exactly.
- 41:56Speaker 3: I'm not sure how I feel about security guards with guns,
- 41:59Speaker 3: though I'm all on board with tasers, and after the
- 42:03Speaker 3: Bondi tech at Bondi Westfield, I wrote in the Advertiser
- 42:07Speaker 3: that they should have some form of weapon because I mean,
- 42:09Speaker 3: at the moment, security guards have got nothing. They can't
- 42:12Speaker 3: do anything at all. But it is a big step
- 42:14Speaker 3: to go from nothing to we now have armed security guard.
- 42:18Speaker 1: This is litively as a police officer.
- 42:19Speaker 2: To be clear, and I know you know this bit.
- 42:21Speaker 2: Just so viewers, No, this is not a call for
- 42:23Speaker 2: security guards that your local Westfield shopping center to be armed.
- 42:26Speaker 2: This is specifically for security guards outside Jewish school synagogue.
- 42:33Speaker 3: But then you know, once you let one lot have it,
- 42:37Speaker 3: can you then say, well, what if a craze gunment
- 42:40Speaker 3: walks through the local shopping center, why shouldn't the security
- 42:43Speaker 3: guard there have a gun?
- 42:44Speaker 2: Because that's not a known and real threat, whereas threats
- 42:48Speaker 2: to the Jewish community are pretty evident.
- 42:51Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly. Well.
- 42:52Speaker 5: Also in the Australian Tomorrow, just interesting to note down
- 42:55Speaker 5: at the bottom of the newspaper is a huge ad
- 42:58Speaker 5: paid for by Clive Palmer's It literally says Clive Palmer
- 43:04Speaker 5: says the Liberals couldn't make an impression on a cushon reckond.
- 43:09Speaker 2: Clive Palmer would make.
- 43:09Speaker 6: A bit of an import rather large and rotunde one.
- 43:13Speaker 1: Oh isn't it? Isn't it great? And I love that?
- 43:15Speaker 3: You know he has to clarify Clive Palmer season and
- 43:17Speaker 3: then puts his face there twice just.
- 43:20Speaker 5: To make sure that we're then authorized by Clive Palmer
- 43:23Speaker 5: as well.
- 43:23Speaker 3: At least we know that it was Clive Palmer over
- 43:26Speaker 3: on the front of the Herald Sun Tomorrow. There of course,
- 43:29Speaker 3: noting the leadership's Bill Prime angus desperately sacking susan good headline,
- 43:35Speaker 3: but the little story next.
- 43:36Speaker 1: To it Iback wrought pro but no apology.
- 43:39Speaker 3: Victoria's anti corruption watchdog is set to probe claims of
- 43:41Speaker 3: widespread corruption across the Allen government's big build sites. The
- 43:45Speaker 3: Herald's son has confirmed Iback will assess each complaint made
- 43:48Speaker 3: in a referral by the state opposition on Thursday. A
- 43:51Speaker 3: wide scale investigation would only be launched if an assessment
- 43:55Speaker 3: determines criminal offending might have occurred. It comes as Premier
- 43:59Speaker 3: just Center Allen has refused to apologize to Victorian taxpayers
- 44:02Speaker 3: for the alleged fifteen billion dollar cost of the CFMU wrought.
- 44:07Speaker 1: Even disputing the amount.
- 44:09Speaker 3: I mean that this is typical Dan Andrews, isn't I
- 44:11Speaker 3: I don't accept that that can't be real. And seriously,
- 44:16Speaker 3: misappropriation of taxpayers money to this degree is not a
- 44:19Speaker 3: light issue and one on which you just go, ah, well,
- 44:22Speaker 3: that's wrong.
- 44:23Speaker 5: Well, rule number one of politics is deny, deny, deny,
- 44:26Speaker 5: and I think Victorian labor has mastered that perfectly.
- 44:30Speaker 2: Yep, absolutely, all right. Let's go to the is that
- 44:33Speaker 2: the Herald some we're done with yes, all right, Let's
- 44:35Speaker 2: go to the front page of the Gold Coast bullet
- 44:37Speaker 2: and interesting story here from the local council. Stunning move
- 44:41Speaker 2: after council travel deal exposed CEO's flights grounded. So the
- 44:46Speaker 2: story goes like this, the Gold Coast Council will now
- 44:48Speaker 2: approve the CEO's travelers. Stunning move after it was revealed
- 44:52Speaker 2: the top boss and mayor have been signing off on
- 44:56Speaker 2: each other's ratepayer funded international trips. In the past year,
- 45:00Speaker 2: the Gold Coast Council CEO has been to London, to India,
- 45:04Speaker 2: to the UK, to the US. Why the CEO would
- 45:08Speaker 2: need to do so much international travel is beyond me.
- 45:11Speaker 2: No suggestion any of it was wrong, but it was
- 45:14Speaker 2: approved by the mayor, and of course the mayor's travel
- 45:18Speaker 2: is approved by the CEO. It's a pretty nice arrangement.
- 45:22Speaker 2: Now that it's been revealed that arrangement will cease.
- 45:26Speaker 5: So I remember reading I think it was in yesterday's
- 45:28Speaker 5: Gold Coast Bulletin, And at some point this week Tom Tate,
- 45:31Speaker 5: the mayor, is over in Italy for the Winter Olympics
- 45:34Speaker 5: and has just signed up their eleventh sister city. So
- 45:38Speaker 5: you know, great payer value eleven's sister cities.
- 45:41Speaker 2: Can you believe it all right? If you think the
- 45:43Speaker 2: Australian Parliament is an absolute circus, after the break will
- 45:47Speaker 2: show you the Turkish Parliament, which is an absolute wrestling ring.
- 45:51Speaker 2: That's next. I don't know why you would want to
- 45:57Speaker 2: run a business these days. You employ staff, but then
- 45:59Speaker 2: it's almost impossible to get rid of them. Case in point,
- 46:03Speaker 2: a truck driver was stopped by a random breath test
- 46:07Speaker 2: and police found he had traces of marijuana in his system.
- 46:10Speaker 2: Now this was on a Wednesday morning. He told his
- 46:13Speaker 2: bosses about what had happened and admitted he had been
- 46:16Speaker 2: smoking pot at the weekend. While the boss instantly fired him,
- 46:20Speaker 2: we don't want a truck driver who's smoking pot and
- 46:22Speaker 2: then pulled over and found to have it in his system.
- 46:25Speaker 2: He complained though that it hadn't affected his driving, and
- 46:29Speaker 2: the police, while testing him positive, hadn't got back the
- 46:32Speaker 2: lab results yet to confirm the positive test. So he
- 46:35Speaker 2: took his boss to the Fair Work Commission and they
- 46:38Speaker 2: found he was dismissed unfairly and they ordered him to
- 46:41Speaker 2: be paid thirty five thousand dollars in compensation. So he
- 46:45Speaker 2: smokes pot on the weekend, gets pulled over, found to
- 46:48Speaker 2: have it in his system, His boss sacks him and
- 46:51Speaker 2: he gets paid thirty five grand compo.
- 46:53Speaker 3: I have to say in defensive procedural fairness, given he
- 46:58Speaker 3: was sacked before the lab result came back, there is
- 47:02Speaker 3: an argument, but I don't know.
- 47:03Speaker 1: What the lab results were after that.
- 47:06Speaker 3: The issue is that they sacked him too early, that
- 47:08Speaker 3: he had waited for the lab results, if they would
- 47:10Speaker 3: have had everything they.
- 47:10Speaker 2: Need, he admitted he had done it.
- 47:12Speaker 3: I know, well, I mean, you're allowed to smoke pot
- 47:15Speaker 3: on the week well legally not, but people do it.
- 47:17Speaker 1: We know that maybe you just shouldn't be a truck drift.
- 47:21Speaker 5: This is the state of our laws in this country.
- 47:23Speaker 5: You're right, James, why would you employ anyone? Let's go
- 47:26Speaker 5: over to Turkey, where a shocking brawl has broken out
- 47:30Speaker 5: in parliament as a new justice minister tried to get
- 47:34Speaker 5: sworn in. Well, some MPs, we're just not having it.
- 47:51Speaker 5: Makes our leadership crisis and the Liberal Party look.
- 47:55Speaker 2: Very tame, very civilized.
- 47:58Speaker 5: Very civilized, very respectful. Apparently this guy was the lead
- 48:01Speaker 5: prosecutor in a lot of cases against opposition parties in Turkey.
- 48:05Speaker 5: Is he gonna understand a little bit of the frustration there,
- 48:07Speaker 5: but it's probably not the best way to happen.
- 48:09Speaker 2: I think more people would take an interest in politics
- 48:11Speaker 2: if ours was.
- 48:12Speaker 3: Telling you this is how all parliamentary debates should be resolved,
- 48:16Speaker 3: Like are we going to pass this bill? We'll just
- 48:19Speaker 3: fight it out and see who comes out on top.
- 48:22Speaker 2: Clara O'Neill posted on Facebook the other day, I've just
- 48:24Speaker 2: smashed out my pilates class. Now I'm going to go
- 48:27Speaker 2: and smash a few liberals should fit right in the
- 48:29Speaker 2: Turkish parliament.
- 48:30Speaker 3: Bring it on all right, time for this segment don't
- 48:36Speaker 3: book the day, and today's entry is Trevor Brown from
- 48:42Speaker 3: ray White, Cheltenham, who was not too happy about the
- 48:44Speaker 3: fact that while he was doing an open for inspection,
- 48:47Speaker 3: the woman next door who he had sold this house
- 48:49Speaker 3: to the house need store that is, was using your
- 48:52Speaker 3: lift blower.
- 48:55Speaker 7: That's not your property right there right there? An enemy?
- 49:07Speaker 2: Do you want everyone in the street to know you're
- 49:08Speaker 2: a cockid or just the neighbors that are about to leave?
- 49:11Speaker 1: What did you just call me?
- 49:15Speaker 3: What a rude bagger called her a cockein for using
- 49:18Speaker 3: a leaf which is within their rights to use the
- 49:20Speaker 3: leaf blowers on.
- 49:21Speaker 2: The real estate agency said they will introduce protocol training
- 49:24Speaker 2: for their agency. Yes, that's needed. Good night, that's it
- 49:27Speaker 2: from us stick around. Coming up is the Read a
- 49:29Speaker 2: Penny Show
