Speaker 1: It's the good report tonight.
0:15
Speaker 2: Great to be back for the start of WOW an
0:17
Speaker 2: election year. And tonight we'll talk about the Prime Minister
0:22
Speaker 2: and he claims the forests in Los Angeles is why
0:24
Speaker 2: we should fight global warming? Is he right or is
0:27
Speaker 2: he dreaming? Do they in fact prove the failure of
0:30
Speaker 2: work politicians? What does that say about the election to come?
0:33
Speaker 3: Well?
0:33
Speaker 2: So tonight Opposition leader Peter Dunton promises new laws to
0:37
Speaker 2: protect Australia. Day for Us, embarrassment for Australia. Next week's
0:41
Speaker 2: s Donald Trump is sworn in. Should Scott Morrison come
0:45
Speaker 2: to save us? And a former labor politicians is it's
0:48
Speaker 2: going to fight this appalling jee hatred more this weekend
0:52
Speaker 2: by helping the Liberals instead. Plenty more coming up, including
0:56
Speaker 2: Britain's of rape game crisis, and of course the selection
1:00
Speaker 2: campaign is already shaping up, and let's start with that. Well,
1:05
Speaker 2: today we've got a taste of what's at stake when
1:07
Speaker 2: we get to vote, which I expect will happen in
1:09
Speaker 2: April or even May, with the government praying that interest
1:11
Speaker 2: rates will then have started to come down. Two terrible
1:16
Speaker 2: examples today, Prime Minister who's clueless about economics are even
1:20
Speaker 2: fats when our economy is in strife, I mean strife.
1:23
Speaker 2: Our dollar this morning fell to its the lowest level
1:25
Speaker 2: against the American dollar in five years, before recovering very slightly.
1:30
Speaker 2: Our top ed sports and memile being hammered. Iron ore
1:32
Speaker 2: prices or falling prices for coal exports are at a
1:36
Speaker 2: three and a half year low. Our growth this week,
1:38
Speaker 2: our productive is shocking, and inflation too high. And all
1:41
Speaker 2: of this under a prime minis who three years ago
1:44
Speaker 2: promised you it actually cut your cost of living.
1:48
Speaker 4: We can do better than this. Labor has real lasting
1:53
Speaker 4: plans for cheaper electricity, cheaper childcare, cheaper mortgages, cheaper medicines
2:00
Speaker 4: and medicare, and for better pay.
2:04
Speaker 2: Instead, as you know, we got the opposite, more expensive electricity.
2:08
Speaker 2: Childcare costs went up ten percent in just one year,
2:11
Speaker 2: mortgages twelve verses since that last election. And all this
2:15
Speaker 2: is in part because this government cannot stop spending and
2:18
Speaker 2: keep spaking electricity more expensive with its green schemes. So
2:21
Speaker 2: today today was a bad day on both these fronts
2:26
Speaker 2: because our Prime minister showed it is driven more by
2:30
Speaker 2: more by ideology than by economics or simply playing facts first,
2:35
Speaker 2: Anthony Albineazy today promised even more big spending, unbelievably an
2:40
Speaker 2: extra three billion dollars for the National Broadband Networks to
2:43
Speaker 2: convert to almost all the remaining six hundred thousand homes
2:46
Speaker 2: from copper connections to fiber. With this promise, we'd get
2:50
Speaker 2: our money back.
2:52
Speaker 4: This is an investment. This is an investment that will
2:55
Speaker 4: produce a return.
2:57
Speaker 2: That's completely false because late has been promising from the
3:01
Speaker 2: start of the NBN sixteen years ago that this NBN
3:04
Speaker 2: business governor owned would give us a profit it if
3:08
Speaker 2: it did, And here's Albanizi typic in another three billion
3:11
Speaker 2: dollars instead into a company that's already cost US forty
3:14
Speaker 2: three billion dollars. So this for Albanizi today also made
3:19
Speaker 2: no sense.
3:20
Speaker 4: When the Senate sits again next time, they will have
3:25
Speaker 4: a choice of whether they do support the NBN staying
3:30
Speaker 4: in public hands or whether they will again vote to
3:34
Speaker 4: allow for the NBN to be flogged off to private
3:40
Speaker 4: cut interests.
3:42
Speaker 2: What century is albaniz here living in which would be
3:46
Speaker 2: praying that someone's mad enough to give us a good
3:48
Speaker 2: price for the NBN business. I mean, Elon Musk the
3:51
Speaker 2: world's richest man. Here's one of these private interests in
3:54
Speaker 2: this space. He's offering connections already to his Starlink satellite.
3:59
Speaker 2: So the Astralian Competition and Consumer Commission says, outperformed NBNS
4:04
Speaker 2: Sky must the ones in terms of higher data transmission
4:07
Speaker 2: speeds at lower latency. Two hundred thousand Australians already hooked up.
4:12
Speaker 1: Now.
4:12
Speaker 2: Of course, you know this can't replace the whole NBN,
4:16
Speaker 2: and you know Tellor Communications Guru Paul Boardher tells me
4:19
Speaker 2: that the NBA has in fact racked up so much
4:21
Speaker 2: debt and losses that privatizing is highly unlikely anyway, probably
4:26
Speaker 2: destabilizing now. So I'm afraid, yes, we are stuck with
4:30
Speaker 2: spending more on the NBN to make it worth work well,
4:33
Speaker 2: But do not listen for a moment to a socialist
4:36
Speaker 2: left prime minister telling it's all business can't do this
4:39
Speaker 2: kind of stuff and the governments can. That is last
4:44
Speaker 2: century ideology speaking, and I'm afraid we've got another example
4:49
Speaker 2: of that today from a prime minister so obsessed with
4:53
Speaker 2: this global warming religion that is meanwhile destroying the culpight
4:56
Speaker 2: electricity system that actually works to replace it with winds,
5:00
Speaker 2: so that won't not twenty four to seven albany is.
5:04
Speaker 2: He also talked today about the Los Angeles far so
5:07
Speaker 2: for the second time in four days, linked it to global.
5:10
Speaker 4: Warm You cannot point to any single event and say
5:16
Speaker 4: that's because of climate change. What you can do is
5:18
Speaker 4: look at the science. The scientis has told us recently
5:22
Speaker 4: that we've just experienced the hottest share on record. We
5:25
Speaker 4: are seeing a rise in temperatures, and we're also seeing
5:28
Speaker 4: a rise in the number of extreme weather events.
5:35
Speaker 2: Last week aban He's even claimed that California is far
5:37
Speaker 2: showed way we should cut our own emissions. Yet somehow
5:41
Speaker 2: without the oppositions, plan zero mission's nuclear power stations. So
5:45
Speaker 2: go figure.
5:47
Speaker 4: It's why we can't afford to say stop acting, don't
5:51
Speaker 4: do anything until the twenty forties, and we'll build you
5:53
Speaker 4: a nuclear power station.
5:55
Speaker 2: We indeed have a prime minister who thinks a strands
5:58
Speaker 2: can stop faris in Calor by slashing our own emissions.
6:02
Speaker 2: But even sadder is that he actually thinks these fires
6:05
Speaker 2: are evidence of global warming. Now, it is true that
6:10
Speaker 2: Los Angeles had very dry six months, but that is
6:14
Speaker 2: after two record years of rain in southern California. Leaving
6:18
Speaker 2: unfortunately more vegetation to burn, and northern Californias meanwhile still
6:22
Speaker 2: getting above average rains, now more rain If that is
6:26
Speaker 2: global warming, isn't that bit of it good? But yes,
6:31
Speaker 2: these fires are being whipped along by very strong Santa
6:34
Speaker 2: and winds that often come from inland, sending the flames
6:38
Speaker 2: racing through wooded and hilly areas and onto the coast.
6:41
Speaker 2: So is that bit global warming? Well not so fast.
6:45
Speaker 2: Researchers conclude in twenty nineteen that all climate change models
6:50
Speaker 2: agree that global warming would suppress these Santa and winds.
6:56
Speaker 2: They're still having easy talking about global warming, the great
7:00
Speaker 2: use for incompetent politicians everywhere, which brings me to this, So,
7:04
Speaker 2: why is Los Angeles really burning? And what lesson should
7:07
Speaker 2: we really be learning? Well, investigation is going to work
7:10
Speaker 2: out cause and effect later, but here are some clues.
7:14
Speaker 2: California is the capital of woke. The Los Angeles fibrigate
7:18
Speaker 2: has focused a lot on diversity, for instance, like hiring
7:22
Speaker 2: more women and who cares that some can't actually do
7:25
Speaker 2: the heavy lifting? Here is its diversity chief?
7:30
Speaker 3: Is she strong enough to do this? Or you couldn't
7:32
Speaker 3: carry my husband out.
7:33
Speaker 5: Of a fire, which My response is he got himself
7:36
Speaker 5: from the wrong place.
7:36
Speaker 3: If I have to carryhim out of a fire.
7:40
Speaker 2: For this more and there's worse. The firefighters have now
7:44
Speaker 2: discovered the fire hydrants in hilly areas in this far
7:47
Speaker 2: were without water.
7:49
Speaker 6: And of every fire hydrant you've seen, what have you
7:51
Speaker 6: found right now.
7:53
Speaker 2: We're finding most of them were gown or of hot pressure.
7:56
Speaker 7: If you had a hydrant for this building, for this building,
8:00
Speaker 7: we might have been able to save the backup.
8:03
Speaker 2: That's a part because pipes to refill three big water
8:06
Speaker 2: storage reservoirs weren't built big enough to refill them fast
8:10
Speaker 2: enough in an emergency like this, plus a big dam
8:14
Speaker 2: and the Pacific Palisades, the worsted area was drained for repairs,
8:19
Speaker 2: also cutting water pressure. And on top of that, Los
8:22
Speaker 2: Angeles Mayor Karen Bass last year cut the Los Angeles
8:25
Speaker 2: Fire Department's budget by seventeen million dollars US despite written
8:31
Speaker 2: warnings by a fire chief Kristin Crowley, that this would
8:34
Speaker 2: severely limit the department's capacity prayer to prepare for and
8:39
Speaker 2: respond to wildfires. And Chief Crowley said the city leaders
8:43
Speaker 2: had now failed her firefighters in this fire.
8:48
Speaker 8: Since the three years that I've been in the seat,
8:50
Speaker 8: I have sound of the alarm to say we need more.
8:53
Speaker 8: This is no longer sustainable. We need to double the
8:56
Speaker 8: size of our firefighters. The growth of this city since
8:59
Speaker 8: nineteen has doubled, and we have less fire stations. The
9:03
Speaker 8: fire department needs to be funded appropriately so that I
9:07
Speaker 8: can look any community member in the eye and say
9:10
Speaker 8: your lafd's got your back, and right now you can't right.
9:13
Speaker 2: Now, no, and you won't believe this. On top of
9:18
Speaker 2: all that, California government Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, closed dams
9:24
Speaker 2: and fought against redirecting more water to southern California, saying
9:28
Speaker 2: he wanted to work with indigenous leaders and protecting dangered fish.
9:32
Speaker 2: By the time he smelt.
9:34
Speaker 8: The most significant water restoration projects bringing back.
9:39
Speaker 9: Salmon and steelhead into this space.
9:42
Speaker 2: That spoken like Aberdeze's environment minister there. Well, some water
9:46
Speaker 2: experts do insist this water wouldn't have made a difference
9:48
Speaker 2: to these fires. We'll find out. But Newsome also slashed
9:52
Speaker 2: funding for wildfire and forest resilience, including fuel reduction burns,
9:56
Speaker 2: by one hundred and one million dollars US year. But
10:01
Speaker 2: never mind all that mismanagement, all that woke politics, band infrastructure,
10:07
Speaker 2: the green ideology for Anthony alban easy, it's just climate
10:12
Speaker 2: change and one more reason to say no to nuclear
10:14
Speaker 2: power and to say yes, there's slashing our emissions here,
10:18
Speaker 2: sending electricity prices soaring. How does any of that make sense?
10:24
Speaker 2: And is this the kind of thinking that explains why
10:27
Speaker 2: Anthony alberin EASi is overseeing in this election year an
10:31
Speaker 2: economy that's in such danger. Peter Dutton kicked off the
10:40
Speaker 2: Liberals election campaign yesterday in Melbourne, which shows a lot
10:43
Speaker 2: of confidence or a lot of hope, because Victoria has
10:46
Speaker 2: actually been the Liberal graveyard for years. Three decades ago
10:49
Speaker 2: the federal Liberal leaders would win sixteen, seventeen, even twenty
10:53
Speaker 2: one seats in Victoria. Now it's got just eight, the
10:58
Speaker 2: oppostion leader reckons this time and the Liberals could win
11:01
Speaker 2: several more.
11:02
Speaker 10: The Liberal Party at a state and federal level is
11:05
Speaker 10: back in town.
11:08
Speaker 2: I found his opening yesterday not very exciting, but today
11:12
Speaker 2: Dutton did amp it up. He promised to force all
11:14
Speaker 2: councils to hold citizenship ceremonies on Australia Day. More than
11:19
Speaker 2: eighty have refused, and the Albineazy government's high Commissioner to
11:22
Speaker 2: London seven. Smith was even refusing to go to an
11:25
Speaker 2: Australian ceremony there too, until he backed down. No more
11:29
Speaker 2: of this nonsense, said Dutton today.
11:32
Speaker 10: Why government appointments like Stephen Smith would be ashamed of
11:37
Speaker 10: our country is beyond my comprehension. Why the Prime Minister
11:42
Speaker 10: made a decision to stop councils or to allow the
11:46
Speaker 10: councils to stop holding Australia ceremonies on the twenty sixth
11:49
Speaker 10: of January is beyond me. So would we reinstate the
11:52
Speaker 10: requirement for councils to hold citizenship.
11:55
Speaker 3: Ceremonies on Australia.
11:56
Speaker 10: You bet it'll be done in the first hundred days
11:59
Speaker 10: and it will be a sign of pride and nationalism
12:02
Speaker 10: in our country. I want us as a population to
12:04
Speaker 10: be united. I want us not to be divided. But
12:07
Speaker 10: I want us to stand up for what we believe in.
12:09
Speaker 10: And we will do that again and we will have
12:11
Speaker 10: pride again in our country for us.
12:14
Speaker 2: The Prime Minister didn't dare give a straight answer today
12:16
Speaker 2: and asked if our councils were right to true Australia Day,
12:20
Speaker 2: January twenty sixth is a day of shame.
12:23
Speaker 6: Is there any good reason why a Councils shouldn't hold
12:27
Speaker 6: it on Australia Day.
12:28
Speaker 4: Mike Cassel holds them on Australia Day and on Australia Day,
12:34
Speaker 4: I'll be here in Canberra at the national event.
12:38
Speaker 2: I wonder how Beneze wouldn't give a straight answer because
12:40
Speaker 2: Dutton is on a winner here. A new poll commission
12:43
Speaker 2: by the Institute of Public Affairs show is a big
12:45
Speaker 2: shift to support for Australia Day on January twenty six.
12:49
Speaker 2: Now sixty nine percent of Australian's polled support that date,
12:53
Speaker 2: which is up six percent from last year. Joining me
12:55
Speaker 2: is the panel form of Victorian Liberal Premier Jeff Kennett,
12:58
Speaker 2: one of the very best and former Victorian Labor Minister
13:02
Speaker 2: Filled Dalla darkis a Jeff Kennett. Can Victory actually win
13:06
Speaker 2: the election for Peter Dutt two years ago we told
13:09
Speaker 2: he was poisonous Stro's most left wing state.
13:14
Speaker 11: Andrew good evening the election generally will be fought on
13:18
Speaker 11: the cost of living right around the country, but Victoria
13:22
Speaker 11: is offering up golden opportunities depending on how the Federal
13:27
Speaker 11: Coalition handles them. For instance, from the end of this month,
13:31
Speaker 11: Victorians will be receiving their new twenty twenty five land
13:38
Speaker 11: tax bill. This is at a time when there are
13:40
Speaker 11: more holiday homes and investment properties for sale right around
13:44
Speaker 11: the coast of Victoria than ever before, and they're not
13:48
Speaker 11: selling and core logistics which Montor prices, are telling us
13:52
Speaker 11: most of those houses have dropped dramatically in value, and
13:57
Speaker 11: so people are hurting and they are are going to
14:00
Speaker 11: take out their vengeance not on the federal government on
14:03
Speaker 11: this issue, but the state. The second issue is the
14:07
Speaker 11: suburban rail Link, and most Victorians now understand what a
14:11
Speaker 11: gross mismanagement and waste of public borrowings this is. And
14:17
Speaker 11: when this section is completed at around fifty billion dollars,
14:21
Speaker 11: there will be no movement of people from box Hill
14:24
Speaker 11: to Cheltenham and Cheltenham to box Hill. And the third
14:27
Speaker 11: thing Andrew that the Victorian Labor government is throwing up
14:32
Speaker 11: for the Coalition Federary. Most Victorians now know that because
14:36
Speaker 11: of the size of the debt and the interests we're
14:39
Speaker 11: paying on a daily basis, so many of the services
14:43
Speaker 11: that we expect a state government to provide are being
14:47
Speaker 11: squeezed and many of the employees from the emergency services etc.
14:52
Speaker 11: Are leaving the Foreshaw together. And that's reflected in perhaps
14:57
Speaker 11: the simplest indication of the decline in standards here in Victoria,
15:03
Speaker 11: which is the quality of our roads. Never before have
15:07
Speaker 11: our roads been in worse condition, potholes where people are
15:10
Speaker 11: not only having to replace tires but other parts of
15:13
Speaker 11: their vehicles at their cost. So can the coalition win
15:19
Speaker 11: this forthcoming election in their own right? I think they can?
15:23
Speaker 11: Will they pick up extra seats here in Victoria? Yes?
15:26
Speaker 11: I think they will? And can I just make this point?
15:30
Speaker 11: This federal election is going to give so many Victorians
15:35
Speaker 11: the opportunity to actually have a referendum and send a
15:39
Speaker 11: message to Spring Street that we've had a gutfull and
15:43
Speaker 11: we simply can't afford for our local government to continue
15:47
Speaker 11: with the policies that they're currently bought in place. So
15:51
Speaker 11: can it happen to mention that podcasting Victoria? I did
15:57
Speaker 11: mention it's.
15:58
Speaker 2: Two tires, Yeah, two tarrs in one year. Phildela Darkas,
16:04
Speaker 2: what do you think could Labor lose the election in Victoria?
16:09
Speaker 2: Which would be an amazing turnaround?
16:12
Speaker 6: Federally yeah, federally yeah. I think Jeff started drinking Scotch
16:20
Speaker 6: a little bit early. I think Victoria continues to be
16:23
Speaker 6: a very strong labor ground for the government. I don't
16:28
Speaker 6: see that significantly changing. There will, of course be a
16:31
Speaker 6: number of seats that will be of greater interest this
16:35
Speaker 6: time this election than previous elections. And you know I'm
16:40
Speaker 6: here to name names. Aston and Chisholm probably the two
16:43
Speaker 6: seats that are most at risk, given that Higgins has
16:46
Speaker 6: been abolished under the aac redistribution. Beyond that, I think
16:51
Speaker 6: the coalition is drinking the kool aid if they think
16:56
Speaker 6: that there are a lot more seats beyond that here
16:59
Speaker 6: in victory career that they are able to compete seriously with.
17:07
Speaker 2: Well, I don't think you should be having drinkers like
17:10
Speaker 2: jeff and I who swapped a scotch tips So anyway, but.
17:15
Speaker 11: Jeffrey and it's all that's left for us. But he's
17:19
Speaker 11: finally said in the sand. He's obviously not talking to
17:22
Speaker 11: the public, he's not hearing the pain, he's not driving
17:25
Speaker 11: his wife's car into the potholes that you then have
17:29
Speaker 11: to pay for. So have no worry, Phil, You're on
17:32
Speaker 11: the way up, my friend. And you're on the way
17:34
Speaker 11: up because your own government here is so incompetent.
17:38
Speaker 6: Well, Jeffrey, I love sparring with you, but in all honesty,
17:44
Speaker 6: I think that there's a whole up you just said.
17:46
Speaker 6: And you don't know my wife, and if you did,
17:48
Speaker 6: do you you'd realize how incorrect that statement was.
17:55
Speaker 1: Said.
17:55
Speaker 2: Everything correct, But anyway, Jeffrey, I thought Peter Dutton's launched
18:01
Speaker 2: yesterday missed the bit of buzz for something that sort
18:05
Speaker 2: of sold as an unofficial campaign launch. But today you
18:08
Speaker 2: promise to force councils to hold citizenship ceremonies on Australia
18:12
Speaker 2: Janey twenty sixth I'll tell you what Victorian councils are
18:15
Speaker 2: the worst. At least thirty of the state's seventy nine
18:18
Speaker 2: councils banned Australia citizens ceremonies this year. Is Peter Dutton
18:23
Speaker 2: right to ban the ban?
18:28
Speaker 11: Yes, I think he is. But Andrew, don't forget councils
18:32
Speaker 11: in Victoria and in every other state are a creature
18:35
Speaker 11: of the state governments, right They're legislated through the state governments.
18:40
Speaker 11: And if I was in office at the moment, I
18:42
Speaker 11: would simply say to those councils, if you're denying New
18:45
Speaker 11: Australians to take out their citizenship on the twenty sixth.
18:50
Speaker 11: That is a very strong argument for another round of amalgamations.
18:54
Speaker 11: I am so tired of so many of these councils
18:58
Speaker 11: now taking upon themselves posibilities for which they have absolutely
19:03
Speaker 11: no responsibility. And so Peter is right in making sure
19:08
Speaker 11: that he can, using his persuasion, bring about a change.
19:13
Speaker 11: But I don't know why the Premier here in Victoria
19:15
Speaker 11: doesn't come out and say the Victorian councils will celebrate
19:19
Speaker 11: Australia Day on the twenty sixth and they will conduct
19:23
Speaker 11: the citizenship cerebonyes that most councils have been doing for years.
19:27
Speaker 11: But again she's silent again, like Phil unfortunately, just not interested.
19:33
Speaker 11: They've got their heads in the sand.
19:37
Speaker 6: Can I have a chance to respond to that, Dedrew?
19:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, go right ahead, go right ahead.
19:42
Speaker 6: So much to Jeffrey's surprise, I actually agree local governments
19:49
Speaker 6: should honor Australia. But I do find it fascinating that
19:53
Speaker 6: the Little Party, who have always campaigned on the rights
19:56
Speaker 6: of the individual over the collective, and now wishing to
19:58
Speaker 6: impose their own views the collective over the riots of
20:01
Speaker 6: the individuals. Now, whether you like councils or not. And
20:04
Speaker 6: again I happen to be on a unity ticket with
20:06
Speaker 6: Jeffrey in relation to my love of local government. But
20:09
Speaker 6: whether you like them or not, they're nonetheless they are
20:12
Speaker 6: elected individuals to the local government. If they make decisions accordingly,
20:17
Speaker 6: then the people that elect them have a chance to
20:19
Speaker 6: vote them out. And we've just been through that process
20:22
Speaker 6: in October of last year for those of you not
20:24
Speaker 6: in Victoria and so people have just been elected, not
20:28
Speaker 6: even three months ago. So if they choose to move
20:31
Speaker 6: a certain direction, then the people, the rate payers, the
20:34
Speaker 6: voters of those local government areas, have the right to
20:37
Speaker 6: vote them out at the next election. Unfortunately that's a
20:40
Speaker 6: number of years away. Nevertheless, the fact is I agree
20:44
Speaker 6: we should have Australia celebrated on Australia, whether or not
20:47
Speaker 6: we also recognize the raft of atrocious activities that occurred
20:53
Speaker 6: to our indigenous population.
20:55
Speaker 2: I don't think we should.
20:56
Speaker 1: Hide from that.
20:57
Speaker 6: But that doesn't mean to say that we should also
20:58
Speaker 6: hide from the festivity that Australia presents to our country either.
21:05
Speaker 2: I should say that the councils are themselves imposing their
21:08
Speaker 2: will on their voters who might not have don't have
21:12
Speaker 2: the freedom then to celebrate being coming Australia on Australia Day,
21:16
Speaker 2: which for me would be a buzz But Jeff Kennet
21:18
Speaker 2: Fiel Dalla Darkas, thank you both for your time. I
21:23
Speaker 2: think the election campaign is going to get quite heated.
21:25
Speaker 2: If this is already a touch of what we're going
21:27
Speaker 2: to get. I don't get at all the Abeneza governments,
21:31
Speaker 2: foreign policies. By the way, you've got Donald Trump now
21:34
Speaker 2: being sworn in as US President next week and representing
21:36
Speaker 2: Australia will be will be foreigners at Pennywong, who's accused
21:41
Speaker 2: him of trashing alliances for personal political interests and abaus it.
21:45
Speaker 2: Kevin Ruder has said even worse about him, called Trump
21:48
Speaker 2: the most destructive president in the history, a man who
21:50
Speaker 2: drags American democracy through the mud. Meanwhile, the government on
21:55
Speaker 2: another front is sending Attorney General Mark Dreyfus, who Israel
21:58
Speaker 2: this month to try and repair relations there. But what
22:02
Speaker 2: an insul I mean. Dreyfus is just going because he's Jewish,
22:05
Speaker 2: and I suppose that's meant to full Israel into somehow
22:09
Speaker 2: forgiving the Australian government for backing international warrant for the
22:14
Speaker 2: rest of Israel's Prime minister, and for banning a visabe Iserras,
22:18
Speaker 2: former Justice minister, and for being weak in fighting due
22:21
Speaker 2: hatred here, and for Dreyfus himself not backing a judicial
22:25
Speaker 2: inquiry into anti Semitism at our universities. But hey, don't
22:29
Speaker 2: worry about all that. Dreyfus is Jewish. You like them.
22:32
Speaker 2: You like them, don't you. They're Seriously what counts is
22:37
Speaker 2: not what Dreyfus says in Israel, for what the Albanizy
22:41
Speaker 2: government does right here at home to stop due hatred.
22:45
Speaker 2: Joining me every Monday again is the country's top foreign
22:49
Speaker 2: affairs right to Greek Sheridan of The Australian, Greg, great
22:52
Speaker 2: to see you again. How do you assess this government's
22:54
Speaker 2: handling of foreign affairs?
22:58
Speaker 12: Great to be with you, Andrew. It's the only thing
23:00
Speaker 12: I missed over Christmas really was our chats. Look, I've
23:05
Speaker 12: got a column in Tomorrow's Australian saying the Albanezi government
23:09
Speaker 12: is one of the worst we've ever had in foreign
23:12
Speaker 12: affairs and national security. It's not the worst since World
23:15
Speaker 12: War Two. You can't take the crown from Whitlam. That
23:17
Speaker 12: was the worst government we've ever had in foreign Affairs
23:20
Speaker 12: and national security. But it's buggered out offense Force. We've
23:25
Speaker 12: got a week at Defense Force now than we had
23:26
Speaker 12: when they came into office. It has not only encouraged
23:31
Speaker 12: the terrorists in the Middle East, as Anthony Blincoln said,
23:33
Speaker 12: one sided criticism of Israel encourages Hamas to hold out
23:37
Speaker 12: and not do a deal. But it has connived a
23:41
Speaker 12: situation unintentionally where foreign policy is now dividing the Australian
23:46
Speaker 12: community on bitter, vicious sectarian communal lines, which has never
23:51
Speaker 12: happened before in my lifetime. It is a bit of
23:56
Speaker 12: a joke regionally. I quote a senior Singapore officials saying,
24:01
Speaker 12: you know how weak the Albanese government is.
24:05
Speaker 1: Nothing is happening on Orcus.
24:06
Speaker 12: Orcus is all all had no cattle, and it just
24:11
Speaker 12: has no narrative or no coherence to anything it's doing.
24:14
Speaker 12: It's trying to silence independent think tanks like the Australian
24:17
Speaker 12: Strategic Policy Institute so that no one will ever be
24:20
Speaker 12: able to have an idea of what's really in the
24:24
Speaker 12: defense budget. I've never met an Australian government with more
24:27
Speaker 12: authoritarian instincts. It tries to shut down rather than answer criticisms,
24:32
Speaker 12: and it's shown no schmick of creativity in getting to
24:36
Speaker 12: know or having any influence with the new Trump administration.
24:42
Speaker 2: Well, speaking of that, I mean here we have been
24:45
Speaker 2: sent to Trump's inauguration, a foreign inisident and an ambassador
24:48
Speaker 2: both trashed Trump. I was actually told Greg a month
24:52
Speaker 2: and a half ago that senior Trump officials so they
24:56
Speaker 2: will not deal with Rud and it was interesting. Julie
24:59
Speaker 2: Bishop is the Foreign Foreign Ministers today quoted saying watch
25:03
Speaker 2: this space when asked if Trump, if Rudd would stay
25:06
Speaker 2: as our ambassador, watch this space. Meanwhile, in contrast, you've
25:11
Speaker 2: got form of Prime Minister Scott Morrison doing what albitis
25:14
Speaker 2: he won't and Rudd can't visiting Trump in his home.
25:18
Speaker 2: Is Scott Morrison our obvious next ambassador to Washington?
25:23
Speaker 12: Well, you know, Scama has done very well with Trump,
25:26
Speaker 12: but he couldn't represent a labor government because he'd been
25:29
Speaker 12: promoting all kinds of policies that he fundamentally disagrees with.
25:33
Speaker 12: So I'm a bit of a contrarian conservative on Rudd.
25:36
Speaker 12: I think Rudd has done a brilliant job as ambassador,
25:38
Speaker 12: and it's yet to be seen whether Trump will deal
25:42
Speaker 12: with him or not. I think Rudd and the other
25:44
Speaker 12: labor figures were very undisciplined in their remarks about Trump.
25:49
Speaker 12: I mean, they're very foolish of them to make such
25:51
Speaker 12: undisciplined remarks about Trump. Now, so many people said bad
25:55
Speaker 12: things about Trump that Trump can be quite pragmatic about,
25:58
Speaker 12: you know. I mean jd Vance called him America's hitler,
26:01
Speaker 12: and he's now vice president.
26:03
Speaker 1: So we'll just have to see that as it goes.
26:05
Speaker 12: But Rada is the only member of the Alberanese team
26:09
Speaker 12: who is showing any continuing realism about China. And rad
26:14
Speaker 12: has made a huge effort to get to know senior
26:17
Speaker 12: Republicans and he's the only member of the Albanese team
26:21
Speaker 12: doing anything of that. I mean, I think it's proper
26:24
Speaker 12: that our foreign minister should go to the inauguration, but
26:28
Speaker 12: there's still no plan for Alberanesi to meet Trump.
26:31
Speaker 1: It'll be a very weird meeting.
26:32
Speaker 12: Albanese showed he's maintained his sense of humor by saying
26:36
Speaker 12: he's likely to get on better with Trump than Peter
26:38
Speaker 12: Dutton would. Well, you know, that's just kind of screamingly hilarious.
26:42
Speaker 12: It's just everything this government says in foreign Affairs and defense,
26:47
Speaker 12: it just bears no relation to reality anymore. I mean
26:50
Speaker 12: Alberesi didn't offer us any rationale on why you know,
26:54
Speaker 12: Albanesi only a couple of years ago when he was
26:55
Speaker 12: a senior shadow minister said Trump scared him shitlers if
26:59
Speaker 12: I can use course language on a family program like this,
27:04
Speaker 12: now he says he's going to get on much better
27:06
Speaker 12: with him than Peter Duttonwell, well, the whole thing is
27:08
Speaker 12: just kind of a joke. We're just seen as a rich,
27:12
Speaker 12: lazy country living off our past wealth with no significant defense.
27:19
Speaker 12: The only assets we have, the only assets we have
27:24
Speaker 12: for our geography, fortune, our lives.
27:27
Speaker 2: So true, it is just quickly of running out of time.
27:30
Speaker 2: But I want to really quickly get something quickly before
27:33
Speaker 2: you go, because one of the things that's really offended
27:36
Speaker 2: Israel about this government is that it acts like Israel
27:39
Speaker 2: and Hamasa both responsible for this war, and Israel should
27:42
Speaker 2: just stopped fighting a massive said again and again, seace
27:45
Speaker 2: far And now what I've seen almost no one report
27:49
Speaker 2: is an amazing announcement on the weekend by Fatah, which
27:52
Speaker 2: is the ruling party of Palistinian President Mamud Bass over
27:56
Speaker 2: in the West Bain, blaming Hamas for the disaster and war.
27:59
Speaker 2: He said, Hamas is now attempting to stir security chaos
28:02
Speaker 2: in the West Bank and has been fighting there, of
28:04
Speaker 2: course with Fatar, thereby continuous policy that brought disaster upon
28:08
Speaker 2: the Palastinian people. We will not allow Hamas, which gambled
28:12
Speaker 2: with the interests and resources of the Palastine people for
28:15
Speaker 2: Iran's benefit and caused the destruction of Israel at Gaza,
28:19
Speaker 2: to repeat it as ventures in the West Bank. Now
28:22
Speaker 2: Here is a leading Palestinian group blaming Hamas and Iran
28:27
Speaker 2: for the war, and not the Jews, not Israel. This
28:32
Speaker 2: is a massive shift. But where's the reporting.
28:36
Speaker 12: Well, not only that, Andrew, but that would be the
28:38
Speaker 12: view throughout the Arab world, that would be the view
28:41
Speaker 12: of every Arab government in the Gulf. You know, I
28:45
Speaker 12: don't put too much creed in what FATA says, to
28:47
Speaker 12: be honest, but certainly the Albani the government has had
28:51
Speaker 12: tremendous moral confusion and can't identify Australia's national interest. We
28:55
Speaker 12: have a tremendous national interest in degrading Iran's web of
29:00
Speaker 12: power and influence throughout the Middle East Iran, the chief
29:04
Speaker 12: sponsor of state, the chief state's bonds of terrorism in
29:07
Speaker 12: the world, and also degrading Russian proxies in Syria, and
29:11
Speaker 12: so and all that has come about because of Israel's actions.
29:14
Speaker 12: The death in Gaza is a tragedy, but there could
29:16
Speaker 12: have been a ceasefire anytime in the last twelve months
29:19
Speaker 12: if Hamas released the hostages. Why hasn't the Albanesi government
29:23
Speaker 12: directed its moral outrage at that? And then in that
29:27
Speaker 12: utterly fatuous speech at Pennywong where she compared Israel to
29:31
Speaker 12: Russia and China because that both you know, they've all
29:35
Speaker 12: been noticed by the International Criminal Court, as though those
29:38
Speaker 12: United Nations play things which the United States sensibly won't
29:41
Speaker 12: have anything to do with, represent the rule of law
29:44
Speaker 12: instead of the rule of gross third world dictatorship politics, which.
29:47
Speaker 1: Is what dominates the UN. Now. The Alberanesi government knows.
29:50
Speaker 12: All this would because it's scared of Greens voters.
29:55
Speaker 2: I'd like the foreign mister to talk is tough as
29:57
Speaker 2: fata about Hamas. Isn't that something? Greg Sheridan, thanks for
30:01
Speaker 2: your time after the break of former labor politician makes
30:04
Speaker 2: us stand against jew haters by helping the Liberals, which
30:09
Speaker 2: is good because new footage shows this really is the
30:12
Speaker 2: christis Jeue hatred here is off the charts. It's like
30:19
Speaker 2: we're in ninety thirties Germany. And that's led one former
30:23
Speaker 2: Labor politician to make us stand. Tony Lopton used to
30:26
Speaker 2: be the member for the Victorian state seat of Perran
30:29
Speaker 2: and has watched as the Greens have helped whip up
30:31
Speaker 2: this jew hatred while Labor virtually sat on his hands
30:35
Speaker 2: and he just looked. Now, I mean just over the
30:37
Speaker 2: past few days, attacks in city on two more synagogues
30:40
Speaker 2: won by a man of Middle Eastern appearance, and in Melbourne,
30:44
Speaker 2: the weekly anti Israel protests like last weekend include vile
30:48
Speaker 2: abuse of Jews, quietly standing in descent. Money was even
30:51
Speaker 2: thrown at the mitch. To me is an obvious anti
30:53
Speaker 2: Jewish trope. Tony Lupton has said enough of this. It's
31:16
Speaker 2: now running as an independent in the state by election
31:19
Speaker 2: next month four his old seat of Paran, last held
31:21
Speaker 2: by a Greens MP. Labor's not running a candidate. Lupton
31:25
Speaker 2: wants their help the Liberals beat that Greens candidate or
31:29
Speaker 2: win the seat himself. Tony Lupton joins me, now Tony,
31:33
Speaker 2: great to see you. Why are you doing this?
31:36
Speaker 3: Well? Thank you, Andrew, good to be with you too.
31:40
Speaker 9: I was appalled, Andrew, that the Labor Party made a
31:44
Speaker 9: cowardly decision.
31:45
Speaker 3: Not to run a candidate in this paran by election.
31:48
Speaker 9: And I felt that it was necessary for someone to
31:52
Speaker 9: take a stand because I just could not stomach the
31:56
Speaker 9: idea of handing this seat back to the Greens without
31:59
Speaker 9: a fight. The Greens have become an extremist party and
32:04
Speaker 9: someone has to stand up, and I decided to do it.
32:08
Speaker 9: I also should say, Andrew, I'm well. Before I say that,
32:14
Speaker 9: let me say this. The reason that I'm standing is
32:18
Speaker 9: because I'm determined to win this seat. The main thing
32:22
Speaker 9: is that we beat the Greens, and I believe I'm
32:24
Speaker 9: in the best position to do that. Without a Labor candidate,
32:27
Speaker 9: a lot of people would have felt disenfranchised, not willing
32:31
Speaker 9: to vote for the Liberal Party at the moment, because
32:34
Speaker 9: they're just not ready and certainly not prepared to vote
32:37
Speaker 9: for the extremist Greens.
32:39
Speaker 3: So in order to give people a genuine choice.
32:43
Speaker 9: I stood, and I believe that my campaign, which is
32:48
Speaker 9: a community based campaign with a brilliant team of volunteers
32:52
Speaker 9: is running full throttle and I'm determined to win it now.
32:56
Speaker 9: The message I want to send is a really clear message.
33:00
Speaker 9: The society we'rein at the moment is at a critical juncture.
33:06
Speaker 9: The extremists are running the show, and there's been a
33:10
Speaker 9: lack of leadership and moral clarity around the kinds of
33:13
Speaker 9: issues that you just showed in your clip before this
33:16
Speaker 9: interview started. The moral clarity that was lacking after October
33:22
Speaker 9: seven allowed due hatred, anti semitism, and the sort of
33:28
Speaker 9: division that we've seen in the community over the last
33:31
Speaker 9: fifteen months or so to get out of the bottle.
33:36
Speaker 9: And when that sort of anti semitism and the kind
33:40
Speaker 9: of hatred that we see in the community rises in
33:44
Speaker 9: the way that it has, it's extremely hard to turn
33:47
Speaker 9: it back. That's why now, even more than after October seven,
33:53
Speaker 9: stronger and stronger leadership is needed in order to get
33:57
Speaker 9: things back under control and to stop the extrememists who
34:00
Speaker 9: are really running the things in our cities at the moment.
34:03
Speaker 9: We see every week the protests, the endless protests. We
34:07
Speaker 9: see the synagogues that have burned down. We see synagogues
34:12
Speaker 9: and other buildings that have been vandalized. We see businesses
34:17
Speaker 9: that have been boycotted and harassed, we see hatred on
34:20
Speaker 9: the streets.
34:21
Speaker 3: The sort of things that went.
34:22
Speaker 9: On last weekend where those vile verbal attacks were addressed
34:30
Speaker 9: to members of the Jewish community were just appalling. The
34:34
Speaker 9: police don't act. There are laws in place at the
34:38
Speaker 9: moment that could be used to stop this sort of behavior,
34:42
Speaker 9: and those laws have not been used, and they should be.
34:45
Speaker 3: I'm all for enforcing.
34:49
Speaker 9: And passing stronger laws where that's necessary, but the laws
34:54
Speaker 9: that we have at.
34:54
Speaker 3: The moment need to be enforced now and they haven't been.
34:58
Speaker 9: So I think it's that sort of that sort of leadership,
35:02
Speaker 9: the moral clarity that's been lacking, is the sort of
35:05
Speaker 9: message that I want to send, is that we need
35:06
Speaker 9: to reinstate that get back to the sort of core
35:11
Speaker 9: liberal democratic values, the sort of core traditional labor values.
35:15
Speaker 3: Frankly that I and a lot of other.
35:17
Speaker 9: People, the vast majority of people in our community believe
35:21
Speaker 9: in and stand for.
35:23
Speaker 2: As they were when Bob Hawk was Prime Minister and
35:26
Speaker 2: I was working for the Labor Party. Absolutely there's been lost.
35:29
Speaker 2: Tony Lupton, all strength of your campaign between you and
35:33
Speaker 2: the liberals, swapping preferences. Let us hope to God that
35:36
Speaker 2: one of you win and the Greens do not. They
35:38
Speaker 2: are punished for the role they've played in all this.
35:41
Speaker 2: Tony Lupton, good luck to you. Thank you after the break.
35:45
Speaker 2: An astonishing attack on Australia Day calls even for violence.
35:52
Speaker 2: The Big Auntie Israel seems linked often to being anti
35:56
Speaker 2: Australia day boats seeing part of the hatred of the
35:59
Speaker 2: West has been pre for too long. Here's the latest example.
36:03
Speaker 2: Elsa to at Rosenberg is, of all things, a consultant
36:06
Speaker 2: against racism. She even did work for the Human Rights Commission.
36:10
Speaker 2: But sure enough she's not just campaign against Israel, but
36:12
Speaker 2: against Australia now posting this incitement, in my opinion, to
36:16
Speaker 2: vandalism and worse. It's okay to resist the colonial force
36:20
Speaker 2: by any means necessary, she writes. It's just over two
36:24
Speaker 2: weeks until invasion Day. Australia Day, Go and play snatch
36:27
Speaker 2: the flag, burn them all someone, go set fire to
36:30
Speaker 2: Cook's cottage. Go and destroy monuments to colonization. Chop down
36:34
Speaker 2: the European tree, set far to the heritage sites. If
36:37
Speaker 2: up there done war memorials which glorify Western imperialism, joining
36:41
Speaker 2: me is the panel this story of the late debate
36:43
Speaker 2: here on Sky weekdays at ten pm and Stephen Trevoura,
36:46
Speaker 2: an author and senior lecture in history the Campaign College. Liz,
36:50
Speaker 2: this has to be one more example of a particularly
36:54
Speaker 2: stupid individual. I got that, but also one more symptom
36:58
Speaker 2: of the self hatred. I think Peter Duttner's right to
37:00
Speaker 2: say we should fight starting with celebrating Stradia in January
37:03
Speaker 2: twenty sixth. How important is this cultural war now?
37:07
Speaker 13: Oh, very very important, more important than ever and really, Andrew,
37:11
Speaker 13: this means coming up to this election this year in Australia,
37:16
Speaker 13: Duten has his playbook made populous. Leaders are taking the
37:21
Speaker 13: West back by storm. We've seen this in the Netherlands,
37:24
Speaker 13: in Argentina, in Italy, in America. We're watching it play
37:28
Speaker 13: out right now in France and Germany. People are sick
37:33
Speaker 13: of having their national pride trampled on, especially by the
37:37
Speaker 13: people that they elected to lead them. And we know
37:40
Speaker 13: the same is true here in Australia today are polled
37:43
Speaker 13: by the IPA show that's sixty nine percent of Ozzies
37:46
Speaker 13: still support Australia Day, despite all the virtue signaling, despite
37:51
Speaker 13: all the brow beating by the educational institutions. It was
37:55
Speaker 13: particularly heartening to notice that, especially young people. There was
37:59
Speaker 13: quite a few people the younger generations who we would
38:03
Speaker 13: normally suspect aren't going to support Australia Day. The IPA
38:08
Speaker 13: noted that ten more percent than last year in that
38:11
Speaker 13: younger age bracket of eighteen to twenty four year old
38:15
Speaker 13: do support Australia Day. So Dunn is just reading the
38:19
Speaker 13: tea leaves here and saying that I'm going to bring
38:22
Speaker 13: back citizenship ceremonies on Australia Day. I am going to
38:26
Speaker 13: fly one flag and one flag alone. This isn't even
38:30
Speaker 13: him going out on a limb here. He knows what
38:34
Speaker 13: the people want and as any leader should, he's going
38:37
Speaker 13: to deliver.
38:40
Speaker 2: I hope you're right, Liz, although I'd like to see
38:42
Speaker 2: a little bit more support from some other leading liberals
38:45
Speaker 2: on this crusade. What do you make of it, Stephen,
38:48
Speaker 2: Because I think Liz is right. This is far beyond Australia.
38:51
Speaker 2: There's also America, Italy, Germany, holland so many countries in
38:55
Speaker 2: the West where people is a grass revolt of people
38:59
Speaker 2: demanding the leads value their traditions, value their national symbols
39:04
Speaker 2: and value their borders. What do you make of what's
39:07
Speaker 2: going on?
39:08
Speaker 7: Oh, there's definitely a spirit of resistance to the globalist,
39:14
Speaker 7: cosmopolitan elites around the world. We've seen it with Trump's
39:18
Speaker 7: resounding victory in America. We're seeing it now with people
39:23
Speaker 7: waking up to the disaster that has been multiculturalism in Britain.
39:27
Speaker 7: I think it's an important thing to note that this
39:29
Speaker 7: young woman that we're talking about, she is a product
39:32
Speaker 7: of Australian universities. It's very important to understand what has
39:36
Speaker 7: created her. And it's really quite amazing. She's clearly doing
39:39
Speaker 7: pretty well in Australia. She's got a successful consultancy firm
39:43
Speaker 7: getting government contracts, so the colony that she wants to
39:46
Speaker 7: burn down seems to be working pretty well for her.
39:49
Speaker 7: And it's this cognitive dissonance in so many of our
39:52
Speaker 7: youth who are actually doing really well in this country,
39:55
Speaker 7: and yet they think that this country is nothing but
39:57
Speaker 7: systemically racist. We've got to lay the blame for this
40:01
Speaker 7: squarely at the feet of our universities.
40:03
Speaker 1: And the thing that makes this more dangerous is that she's.
40:06
Speaker 7: Just not one individual sort of crying out about how
40:10
Speaker 7: horrible and racist Australia is she actually wants to create
40:14
Speaker 7: anti racism of educational resources for primary schools. So all
40:18
Speaker 7: these ideas that she has, she wants to inculcate, indoctrinate
40:22
Speaker 7: them into the youth. And this is what makes all
40:25
Speaker 7: this sort of thing really really dangerous, especially at this
40:27
Speaker 7: time in history where our national cohesion around the West
40:32
Speaker 7: has never been weaker.
40:35
Speaker 2: And the easy resort to, you know, let's burn things,
40:40
Speaker 2: It's just strikes me, Liz. You're getting that too often.
40:43
Speaker 2: We've seen I remember writing about it when the ABC
40:46
Speaker 2: actually showed a show, a comedy show allegedly where let's
40:52
Speaker 2: burn this hit down obriginal activist. You get this very
40:57
Speaker 2: easy resort to the violence and vandalism you see now
41:02
Speaker 2: Australia Day Captain Cook memorials. The Queen Victoria wants to
41:05
Speaker 2: face the even cut down. What is going on here?
41:10
Speaker 13: Well, that is the last resort, isn't it. They consider
41:14
Speaker 13: that they've done everything else, Andrew, of course they haven't.
41:18
Speaker 13: They are a tiny, noisy minority. But she knows who
41:22
Speaker 13: her audience is. This is someone who works for the ABC,
41:26
Speaker 13: who is appealing to people who she knows already agree
41:30
Speaker 13: with her, and it's unfortunately it is the kind of
41:34
Speaker 13: people that doctor Shivera just described there. They've gone to
41:37
Speaker 13: the same institutions, they've been waterboarded with the same narrative
41:41
Speaker 13: of regarding our terrible colonialist past, and they actually are
41:46
Speaker 13: ready to do the kinds of violent nonsense that she
41:50
Speaker 13: is spewing out in that post there. It's frightening, and
41:55
Speaker 13: we know, we do know that it is just a
41:58
Speaker 13: matter of time before we are telling people of the
42:01
Speaker 13: stories of what they've gotten up to this year, because
42:04
Speaker 13: it seems like an annual event for these people. This
42:07
Speaker 13: is their outcry against the colonial ls. This is their
42:11
Speaker 13: once a year opportunity to make it to the news.
42:16
Speaker 2: Yep, chewing off the hand that feeds them. Just quickly,
42:20
Speaker 2: as Stephen, You've got a teal independent Monique ro in
42:24
Speaker 2: the Federal mp saying tweeting that we can prevent more
42:28
Speaker 2: tragedies like the fires in California by acting more effectively
42:31
Speaker 2: to reduce our dependency on fossil fuels.
42:33
Speaker 1: Is she right?
42:34
Speaker 2: Chemistrains stop fires at once in California by using more
42:38
Speaker 2: wind power or driving a tesla.
42:41
Speaker 7: No, And the International Panel on Climate Change has said
42:44
Speaker 7: that there is no there's no direct or even clear
42:47
Speaker 7: link between climate change and specific extreme weather events. But
42:52
Speaker 7: more than that, there's a common strategy in the left here,
42:56
Speaker 7: rather than focus on the immediate causes of a problem,
43:01
Speaker 7: use a problem to pursue a left wing radical tear
43:05
Speaker 7: it all down agenda. And they're doing this with climate change.
43:08
Speaker 1: They tried to deal with the voice.
43:09
Speaker 7: You've got all these problems in indigenous communities and rather
43:12
Speaker 7: than actually addressing them, say with alcohol restrictions and other things. No, no, no,
43:17
Speaker 7: let's get a treaty, Let's get a voice going. Let's
43:20
Speaker 7: completely change this country. The left will always use crises
43:26
Speaker 7: to pursue a larger revolutionary agenda, never to actually fix
43:31
Speaker 7: the problems.
43:33
Speaker 2: Don't fix the problem, let's just a motor show that
43:36
Speaker 2: we care. Stephen Trevurin's Liz story, thank you both for
43:39
Speaker 2: your time. After the break Britain's rape scandal. How Elon
43:43
Speaker 2: Musk is causing mayhem simply by demanding justice. Elon Musk,
43:51
Speaker 2: owner of X, set a bomb under the British government
43:54
Speaker 2: by just tweeting about the disgusting rape games in Britain. Particular,
44:00
Speaker 2: the Muslim or Pakistani ones have years got away with
44:02
Speaker 2: it because police, politicians, local officials too scared to seem
44:06
Speaker 2: racists by calling out. The numbers are shocking. In just
44:10
Speaker 2: one city of Rotherham, some fourteen hundred children abused by gangs.
44:14
Speaker 2: Gangs also operating in Huddersfield, in Rochdale, in Oxford and Telford,
44:19
Speaker 2: and the races are still going on, although the cover
44:21
Speaker 2: ups hopefully not. Since two thousand and three more than
44:23
Speaker 2: seven hundred offences, with our Pakistani's up to four times
44:26
Speaker 2: more likely to be responsible pro rata for offenses report
44:30
Speaker 2: to police. Now Murdock. Journalists in Britain by this story
44:33
Speaker 2: years ago about it as well, but now Elon Musk
44:37
Speaker 2: is tweeting about this to his two hundred and twelve
44:39
Speaker 2: million followers called evidence of the rapes. Details of the
44:43
Speaker 2: cover ups are more, plus claims that Prime Miisee Keira
44:45
Speaker 2: Stamer was complicit in the cover up as state prosecutor
44:49
Speaker 2: and should quit joining me from London as writer, broadcast
44:51
Speaker 2: and columnists Esther Cracker, Esther look this news. Great to
44:55
Speaker 2: see you again. By the way, this is not new
44:58
Speaker 2: news in Britain, but it has become a hard issue
45:01
Speaker 2: because mask is running read out against that is he
45:05
Speaker 2: right to do it?
45:08
Speaker 5: Yes, because I think what people don't realize is there
45:10
Speaker 5: wasn't never was. There was never the level of public
45:12
Speaker 5: outrage that there should have been. And up to fifty
45:15
Speaker 5: cities identified across the UK, you've had these gangs operating
45:19
Speaker 5: with basically impunity. I mean, if you hear some of
45:21
Speaker 5: the stories that are coming out from some of these
45:23
Speaker 5: affected cities, this is incredible. Some fathers trying to protect
45:26
Speaker 5: their daughters were arrested by the police for harassing their
45:31
Speaker 5: children's sexual abuser.
45:33
Speaker 1: Right.
45:33
Speaker 5: You had some girls that were literally burnt alive. One
45:36
Speaker 5: girl apparently was killed and turned into kebab meat. I mean,
45:40
Speaker 5: some girls as young as eleven were gang reaped by
45:42
Speaker 5: men in the double digits and had objects inserted into them.
45:47
Speaker 5: I mean, it is really the stuff of the nightmares.
45:48
Speaker 5: And the reason why Elon is quite outraged by this
45:51
Speaker 5: and shocked by the lack of outrage is because imagine
45:53
Speaker 5: if the rules were reversed and you had a bunch
45:55
Speaker 5: of white British men from Leeds in South Shields raping
45:59
Speaker 5: girls and Pakistan with impunity, right, the Pakistani officials wouldn't
46:03
Speaker 5: be worried about political correctness or not wanting to offend people,
46:06
Speaker 5: they would they would crack down on it. And we
46:08
Speaker 5: can see that because the actual penalty for rape in
46:11
Speaker 5: Pakistan is life imprisonment or death by hanging, so clearly
46:14
Speaker 5: they don't take a very laxed position. But for some reason,
46:17
Speaker 5: you've had layers of incompetent officials and police officers that
46:21
Speaker 5: do not want to or have for the longest time,
46:24
Speaker 5: I have not really wanted to get to the root
46:25
Speaker 5: cause of this problem. I mean, the horror is so
46:27
Speaker 5: deep that some whistleblowers and some of the victims that
46:31
Speaker 5: went to the police found out that their abusers had
46:34
Speaker 5: been notified by the police. So really there even there's
46:37
Speaker 5: even evidence of some insight job there going on by
46:40
Speaker 5: some of the police officers. And the question is why
46:42
Speaker 5: is this has there been such a little accountability? I mean,
46:45
Speaker 5: I kid you know, one of the counselors for one
46:47
Speaker 5: of the times I believe was rotched there was actually
46:49
Speaker 5: found to be one of the abusers. So one of
46:51
Speaker 5: the people gangering, greaping children.
46:52
Speaker 7: It is horrific.
46:55
Speaker 2: We've even had a labor and pice a or ex
46:58
Speaker 2: labor and Paw was told to keep storm by his superiors.
47:03
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just extraordinary. But why was there this refusal?
47:10
Speaker 2: The issue is that Mascus seized on It's not that
47:12
Speaker 2: it's new, it's that there's still hasn't been as you
47:15
Speaker 2: say in accounting for it, why not?
47:19
Speaker 5: And there's evidence that it's still going on to this
47:21
Speaker 5: day as we speak. And the reason for that is
47:23
Speaker 5: multi layered. I mean you have counselors and politicians and
47:26
Speaker 5: police officers that say, you know, they didn't want to
47:28
Speaker 5: rock the boat and that they were worried because of
47:30
Speaker 5: political correctness, but that just borders of criminal negligence. I mean,
47:33
Speaker 5: there's so many layers to this. There were basically no
47:36
Speaker 5: good tatizones in many towns. There were sort of many
47:40
Speaker 5: communities that knew of this that decided not to expose it.
47:44
Speaker 5: In the case of the British Pakistani grooming gangs, you
47:47
Speaker 5: know a lot of them had tight family ties. So
47:50
Speaker 5: many of them were second and third cousins because cousin
47:52
Speaker 5: marriage is so common in places like Pakistan. So I mean,
47:55
Speaker 5: they're just layers of incompetence that just go on. And
47:58
Speaker 5: the question is, you know, I think what's really got
48:01
Speaker 5: you on, Matt wild Up is the fact that the
48:02
Speaker 5: Labor Party has just rejected a national inquiry into these
48:05
Speaker 5: grooming gang scandals. Now, if this doesn't call for a
48:08
Speaker 5: national inquiry, you have to wonder what really does. Because
48:11
Speaker 5: what the Labor Party say is, you know, they should
48:13
Speaker 5: they should do local inquiries. But we know that in
48:17
Speaker 5: Britain local inquiries don't have the same teeth that national
48:19
Speaker 5: inquiries do. They don't have the power to pull witnesses
48:22
Speaker 5: to testify, for example, and you have many counselors that
48:26
Speaker 5: were actually foundlicit in.
48:27
Speaker 2: This yeah, and of course the victims of poor white girls.
48:32
Speaker 2: So who cares about the working class. It's so correctly.
48:34
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for your time. That's it for me,
48:37
Speaker 2: coming up now, Sherry Maxon
