- 0:02Speaker 2: Welcome to the Late Debase. Good evening and welcome to
- 0:08Speaker 2: the show.
- 0:08Speaker 3: I'm Caleb Bond with Liz Storer and Joe Hildebrand.
- 0:12Speaker 2: Well bad news.
- 0:13Speaker 3: I'm afraid to tell you the prices of electric cars
- 0:17Speaker 3: have plummeted because people don't want to buy them. Old
- 0:20Speaker 3: bull mate that. Later in the show, Immigration Minister Andrew
- 0:24Speaker 3: Giles has been caught out fibbing again about child rapists
- 0:28Speaker 3: and other foreign criminals who were released due to a
- 0:31Speaker 3: decision he made. We'll get into that in the papers,
- 0:34Speaker 3: and a man who decided to live his life as
- 0:36Speaker 3: a border collie says it was all a mistake.
- 0:40Speaker 2: But first, it doesn't matter where you go.
- 0:43Speaker 3: Now, the opening of an envelope school assembly, even when
- 0:47Speaker 3: you get on the skybus to leave the airport in Melbourne,
- 0:50Speaker 3: you get either a welcome to country or.
- 0:53Speaker 2: An acknowledgment of country.
- 0:55Speaker 3: And I think we're all sick of going along to
- 0:57Speaker 3: some sort of event and you know, the first person
- 1:00Speaker 3: gets up, the MC introduces whatever it is.
- 1:02Speaker 2: And they give an acknowledgement of country.
- 1:04Speaker 3: Oh okay, sure we did it to open the event,
- 1:07Speaker 3: and then every subsequent speaker gets up and does it again.
- 1:11Speaker 3: It has become a joke, but I didn't know it
- 1:14Speaker 3: had become this much of a joke.
- 1:17Speaker 2: One fella from Brisbane.
- 1:19Speaker 3: Has gone online and said he was recently went to
- 1:23Speaker 3: a job interview. Now, there were five people in this room,
- 1:27Speaker 3: was a panel interview. He was going for a customer
- 1:30Speaker 3: service job at an insurance company, and the interviewer gave
- 1:34Speaker 3: what he calls a welcome to country. Now we don't
- 1:36Speaker 3: know whether the interviewer was Aboriginal, in which case it
- 1:38Speaker 3: would be a welcome to country. Otherwise, officially it's called
- 1:41Speaker 3: an acknowledgment of country. But they felt the need in
- 1:45Speaker 3: front of these five people going for the job to
- 1:47Speaker 3: give a welcome and or acknowledgment of country. This fella
- 1:51Speaker 3: said that he took it upon himself, this bloke, to
- 1:54Speaker 3: do a welcome to country. He described the experiences weird
- 1:58Speaker 3: and unnecessary. He said, I wanted to get others opinions
- 2:01Speaker 3: on this, as I thought it was.
- 2:03Speaker 2: Peak Australian corporate culture. Well you can say that again.
- 2:06Speaker 3: At the time I didn't give it a second thought,
- 2:09Speaker 3: but in retrospect.
- 2:10Speaker 2: It's pretty weird and unnecessary.
- 2:13Speaker 3: I mean, what else is it going to be listening
- 2:15Speaker 3: you'll have nights like that.
- 2:17Speaker 2: You go down to the letterbox.
- 2:19Speaker 3: And you open the letterbox and you'll have to give
- 2:20Speaker 3: an acknowledgment of country before you pull the mail out,
- 2:23Speaker 3: and you go to the supermarket and there'll be someone
- 2:26Speaker 3: standing at the front of coals when you walk in
- 2:28Speaker 3: the front door to acknowledge the country that you're seriously
- 2:31Speaker 3: a job interview.
- 2:32Speaker 1: A job into view.
- 2:34Speaker 4: I would have been standing to my feet being like, Nah, sorry,
- 2:36Speaker 4: guys are clearly not a good fit for this place.
- 2:39Speaker 1: All the best with that jog on.
- 2:42Speaker 4: Remember when Marshall Langton said to us that if the
- 2:45Speaker 4: no vote got up last year, welcome to Country would
- 2:48Speaker 4: be no more because everyone would be too embarrassed to
- 2:52Speaker 4: ask an Indigenous.
- 2:53Speaker 1: Person to do one.
- 2:54Speaker 4: And even if they did have the tamerity, she said,
- 2:58Speaker 4: even if they did have the tamera to ask an
- 3:00Speaker 4: Indigenous person to do a Welcome to.
- 3:02Speaker 1: Country, the answer would be no.
- 3:06Speaker 4: Well, don't threaten us with a good time, Marsha Langton,
- 3:09Speaker 4: and then don't deliver on it, because we see this
- 3:12Speaker 4: now blissfully going on as if nothing happened, as if
- 3:16Speaker 4: the vast majority of Australia didn't vote last year to
- 3:19Speaker 4: be like yeah. To be quite frank, we're really sick
- 3:21Speaker 4: of this. I was interested in the poll in the
- 3:23Speaker 4: Courier Mail today which simply asked do you think that
- 3:28Speaker 4: Welcome to Country is being overused? Now? Ninety eight percent
- 3:33Speaker 4: voted yes, and at the time that I voted, there
- 3:36Speaker 4: was over ten thousand, one hundred votes, so it's.
- 3:39Speaker 1: A pretty big poll.
- 3:41Speaker 4: This guy who went to this interview is also quoted
- 3:43Speaker 4: as saying, I understand companies doing these for big, important
- 3:47Speaker 4: meetings with higher ups, but at a job interview, it
- 3:50Speaker 4: just felt pointless. Go with your gut, mate, because it
- 3:54Speaker 4: is pointless in any respect. Joe, how do you How
- 3:58Speaker 4: do you like Welcome to Country?
- 4:00Speaker 2: Are you well?
- 4:01Speaker 5: I'd like to begin by acknowledging the or a nation
- 4:04Speaker 5: and the gadical people and whose lands we gather this evening.
- 4:08Speaker 5: My concern, My concern is that it looks it he's
- 4:13Speaker 5: getting more and more ubiquous. I was a big support
- 4:16Speaker 5: of the voice, as you know, and and I would
- 4:19Speaker 5: go often when I was on my way here, I'd
- 4:21Speaker 5: do what any real man does on his way to
- 4:24Speaker 5: a late night Sky news show and went to b W.
- 4:28Speaker 6: Just to look at the toy section.
- 4:29Speaker 5: And I would hear and you would hear it actually
- 4:31Speaker 5: played on a tape on repeating. I'm kind of thinking, amazing,
- 4:35Speaker 5: who was that actually respecting? Like, who was that actually
- 4:39Speaker 5: paying respects to like just like literally literally phoning it in,
- 4:44Speaker 5: so phoning it in that you're not even phoning it
- 4:46Speaker 5: in yourself. It's a recorded message that is phoning it in.
- 4:50Speaker 5: And that's sort of my concern, and so any sort
- 4:52Speaker 5: of everywhere. Another thing I did didn't realize there was
- 4:55Speaker 5: an acknowledgment of Country on the opening of my new
- 5:00Speaker 5: podcast on Nova, which is the real story with Joe Hilderbrant.
- 5:03Speaker 6: But that how but that is how I even felt like.
- 5:08Speaker 5: I'm not opposed to it in any way whatsoever, but
- 5:11Speaker 5: that's how sort of baked in it is to everything.
- 5:13Speaker 5: And my concern is not necessarily that it's there. My
- 5:17Speaker 5: concern is, well, all right, will you talk the talk,
- 5:21Speaker 5: but what are you actually doing about it?
- 5:22Speaker 6: And I kind of think, well, you know, at.
- 5:24Speaker 5: All these corporate events, you know, you go to my
- 5:27Speaker 5: skyscraper and the middle of the Sydney CBD, and so
- 5:30Speaker 5: we'd like to acknowledge.
- 5:31Speaker 6: The traditional owners. Well, all right, then give it back to.
- 5:34Speaker 2: The land back that you I or the.
- 5:36Speaker 5: Law firm with the billions of dollars in real estate,
- 5:39Speaker 5: like you could actually do something they never do, of course.
- 5:41Speaker 3: But even like so on the weekend, I like to
- 5:44Speaker 3: have a punt and you have a listen to tab
- 5:47Speaker 3: Radio or Sky Sports Radio as it is here in Sydney,
- 5:50Speaker 3: and even then they're playing these messages over and over
- 5:52Speaker 3: throughout the day. We'd like to acknowledge the land from
- 5:54Speaker 3: which we broadcast today. On and on it goes.
- 5:57Speaker 2: Few people know.
- 5:57Speaker 3: I think that the welcome to country was actually invented
- 6:00Speaker 3: by Ernie Dingo because there was an event where some
- 6:04Speaker 3: people were coming from some Pacific nations I believe to
- 6:07Speaker 3: Australia and.
- 6:08Speaker 1: They felt uncomfortable.
- 6:10Speaker 3: They felt uncomfortable coming to Australia to do this without
- 6:15Speaker 3: being welcomed to the land because that was custom back
- 6:17Speaker 3: home and they didn't want to come on to someone
- 6:19Speaker 3: else's land without being welcomed.
- 6:21Speaker 2: So Ernie didn't go on a number.
- 6:22Speaker 3: Of others came up with the first ceremony that was
- 6:25Speaker 3: a welcomed country and it's just sort of taken on
- 6:27Speaker 3: another life ever since. And I think part of the
- 6:30Speaker 3: problem now is that because it is so overdone. It's
- 6:33Speaker 3: played on bloody Sky sports radio, it's played in big
- 6:37Speaker 3: w everyone who gets up to speak says it. It's
- 6:39Speaker 3: even done at job interviews that it's lost all meaning.
- 6:44Speaker 3: Like if you go by sporting it and they have
- 6:47Speaker 3: a real welcome to country with a smoking ceremony whatever,
- 6:49Speaker 3: you know, once in a blue moon, that's fine, but
- 6:52Speaker 3: it happens so often now that everyone just rolls their
- 6:54Speaker 3: eyes and groans.
- 6:55Speaker 6: It literally means different things.
- 6:58Speaker 5: So there's a welcome to country in which indigenous traits
- 7:01Speaker 5: and actually comes and says a few words, and that
- 7:03Speaker 5: is very very informal, and a lot of those it's
- 7:05Speaker 5: also very lucrative proper businesses. They don't know as much
- 7:09Speaker 5: as I'm getting a lot of these events. They'll come
- 7:12Speaker 5: up and speak and say really like, they're really good speakers.
- 7:16Speaker 5: They're funny, they tell really good stories and everything, heaps
- 7:18Speaker 5: of jokes.
- 7:19Speaker 6: They're really good. You should listen to them.
- 7:22Speaker 5: The more the more sort of tokenistic sort of right
- 7:25Speaker 5: of passage one, the sort of hairshirt one is that
- 7:27Speaker 5: I acknowledge the traditional owners of the lands of which
- 7:30Speaker 5: we've met, And that is the one that just constantly
- 7:33Speaker 5: gets put out there on repeat, and that is not
- 7:35Speaker 5: actually done by traditional owners or traditional Indigenous people at all.
- 7:40Speaker 5: So again I think it's just this. I think the
- 7:44Speaker 5: intentions are kind of good, but I think it is
- 7:46Speaker 5: done firstly out of a kind of fear of saying
- 7:49Speaker 5: the wrong thing and wanting to make sure that you're
- 7:51Speaker 5: ticking all the boke boxes and crossing all the t's
- 7:55Speaker 5: and dotting all the i's, but also people sort of
- 7:58Speaker 5: thinking that, you know, feel feeling better about themselves just
- 8:01Speaker 5: because they've said a few words without doing probably actuation
- 8:04Speaker 5: understand the meaning. And so again I would much prefer
- 8:08Speaker 5: instead of having a bunch of you know, non indigenous
- 8:10Speaker 5: people all in a room acknowledging that they're on Indigenous
- 8:13Speaker 5: land and there's no one sort of there to kind
- 8:14Speaker 5: of acknowledge it too. Half the time because it's some
- 8:17Speaker 5: corporate gig like go out there give money to like
- 8:20Speaker 5: you know Australian you know, Literacy and Numeracy Foundation, or
- 8:24Speaker 5: you know any number of the indigenous mentoring.
- 8:27Speaker 2: Actually doing somebody that's right, put.
- 8:30Speaker 5: Your money where your mouth is. That all these amazing
- 8:32Speaker 5: charities I've done stuff with. Fed Holes is another one
- 8:34Speaker 5: who overwhelmingly work with indigenous people just take that million
- 8:37Speaker 5: bucks and slap it on the table and they can
- 8:39Speaker 5: go out and do wonders with it instead of just
- 8:41Speaker 5: sort of paying lip service to it all the time.
- 8:43Speaker 3: I know it would make sense. Would let's move on
- 8:46Speaker 3: to other things now?
- 8:47Speaker 2: We've been talking about direction.
- 8:49Speaker 3: Ninety nine for the last couple of days, and I
- 8:52Speaker 3: was driving into work this evening, I thought, ah, I
- 8:55Speaker 3: know what this reminds.
- 8:56Speaker 2: Me of.
- 9:00Speaker 5: Good idea only nine.
- 9:03Speaker 3: Except in this case, of course, it wasn't a good
- 9:05Speaker 3: idea ninety nine. This is exactly bad idea ninety nine.
- 9:10Speaker 2: We've had another.
- 9:11Speaker 3: Case of one of these people who had their potential
- 9:14Speaker 3: deportation overturned by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal.
- 9:18Speaker 2: In this case a Sudanese migrant.
- 9:21Speaker 3: Now, he'd lived overseas for twenty years before he.
- 9:25Speaker 2: Came to Australia.
- 9:26Speaker 3: But then he lived in Australia for fifteen years, and
- 9:29Speaker 3: when he went to the AAT to claim that he
- 9:31Speaker 3: should be allowed to stay here.
- 9:33Speaker 2: He said, well, I'm actually Aboriginal.
- 9:36Speaker 3: Now, yes, this man did not live in Australia for
- 9:40Speaker 3: twenty years. He is a migrant to this country. He
- 9:43Speaker 3: came over here and hooked up with an Aboriginal woman.
- 9:46Speaker 2: He was with her for ten years. He was also
- 9:49Speaker 2: convicted of bashing.
- 9:50Speaker 3: Her by the way he had three kids with her,
- 9:54Speaker 3: amongst other crimes that he had committed. But when he
- 9:57Speaker 3: goes off to the AAT, he says, I self, I
- 9:59Speaker 3: had and identify sorry as an Aboriginal person and consider
- 10:04Speaker 3: Australia to be my country.
- 10:06Speaker 2: And to give some.
- 10:07Speaker 3: Weight to this, he says that he's participated in some
- 10:10Speaker 3: smoking ceremonies, he's done Aboriginal art, he's learned how to
- 10:14Speaker 3: play the didgerido, and for that reason he is Aboriginal
- 10:17Speaker 3: and we cannot remove him from this country because of course,
- 10:21Speaker 3: Direction ninety nine said that if a migrant had a
- 10:24Speaker 3: long standing connection to the country, they should be allowed
- 10:28Speaker 3: to stay here. But it's plainly obvious to anyone that
- 10:31Speaker 3: this rule is wrong. It is not working. It's allowing
- 10:36Speaker 3: criminals who are not from this country to remain here. Well,
- 10:40Speaker 3: Clara O'Neil was grilled about this on Sunrise this morning
- 10:44Speaker 3: and went about as well as you'd expect.
- 10:48Speaker 7: One rape and disabled fourteen year old and a sixteen
- 10:51Speaker 7: year old one raped a child between the age of
- 10:54Speaker 7: ten and fourteen and one raped eight times, forty eight
- 10:58Speaker 7: counts of sexual assault on twenty five women and a teen.
- 11:02Speaker 7: The judge said he had no remorse. That's what we're
- 11:06Speaker 7: dealing with. And you're still arguing support for the minister.
- 11:10Speaker 1: Do you think that.
- 11:11Speaker 8: Washes Look, Matt, I completely understand the concern that you
- 11:17Speaker 8: have about these and the crimes that you've listed there
- 11:20Speaker 8: are absolutely horrendous and no member of Parliament and no
- 11:23Speaker 8: member of the government is going to disagree with that.
- 11:26Speaker 2: And it got even better.
- 11:29Speaker 8: Actually, Minister Giles has stepped in here. He's taking action
- 11:33Speaker 8: as a good minister would do. He's doing the right thing.
- 11:35Speaker 8: He's stepped in at the right moment.
- 11:37Speaker 1: He stepped in at the right moment.
- 11:39Speaker 7: Okay, A lot of people would dispute that he put
- 11:41Speaker 7: in this direction, this ministerial direction last January. Then they
- 11:46Speaker 7: use the laws, this direction that was put in by
- 11:49Speaker 7: your government to stay in this country. So do you
- 11:53Speaker 7: think it's maybe too late that Andrew Giles is acting now?
- 11:57Speaker 1: I just reiterate what Minister Giles has said yesterday. Those
- 12:00Speaker 1: visus were.
- 12:00Speaker 8: Canceled by the part that government plays in this. An
- 12:04Speaker 8: independent tribunal overturned those decisions.
- 12:10Speaker 2: How did she say that with a straight face?
- 12:14Speaker 3: Andrew Giles has just come through at the right minute
- 12:17Speaker 3: to make all this.
- 12:18Speaker 4: Well, when they're on the first clip, she's saying these
- 12:20Speaker 4: are atrocious crimes. You know, they're indefensible, and then you
- 12:24Speaker 4: went on to defend him. Of course the government wants
- 12:27Speaker 4: to say, oh, it's an independent tribunal, washing our hands
- 12:30Speaker 4: of this. They are acting on the rules that you
- 12:34Speaker 4: made in your jolly direction ninety nine.
- 12:38Speaker 1: That's how they're making.
- 12:40Speaker 4: The decisions to overturn said cancelations. So you don't just
- 12:45Speaker 4: get to kick the can down the road and say, oh,
- 12:48Speaker 4: we're blaming it on the tribunal.
- 12:50Speaker 1: So he's come out.
- 12:51Speaker 4: Today and Charles or was it yesterday announced the review.
- 12:56Speaker 1: Okay, so we're going to have a review.
- 12:57Speaker 4: This tribunal is going to be reviewed, and there's going
- 12:59Speaker 4: to be yes.
- 13:01Speaker 1: What he said.
- 13:01Speaker 4: He said that the members of this new review tribunal
- 13:07Speaker 4: were going to use common sense.
- 13:11Speaker 1: Here's word, not mine.
- 13:12Speaker 4: Now they're going to be using common sense and the
- 13:16Speaker 4: safety of the community is going to be paramount, not
- 13:21Speaker 4: their ties to the country. The safety of the community.
- 13:26Speaker 4: You mean to tell me that they haven't been using
- 13:29Speaker 4: common sense and that the safety of the community hasn't
- 13:34Speaker 4: been paramount up to this point. Yes, that's exactly what
- 13:37Speaker 4: he's saying, and it's thanks to his direction ninety nine.
- 13:42Speaker 5: Look, I just find this so staggering. And I know
- 13:46Speaker 5: people often accuse me of defending the in defense of
- 13:48Speaker 5: all when it comes to the labor. Don't do it
- 13:50Speaker 5: this time, Joe, I got nothing.
- 13:52Speaker 6: I got nothing, Thank goodness.
- 13:54Speaker 5: I was actually believe it or not, I was actually
- 13:56Speaker 5: with our esteem colleague James Morrow of Outsiders on Sundays
- 14:01Speaker 5: on Sky. And of course we both also work for
- 14:03Speaker 5: the Daily Telegraph and we're doing anything on Daily Telegraph,
- 14:06Speaker 5: a video for the Daily Telegraph, and I was saying
- 14:08Speaker 5: this exact same, Why on earth did they ever have
- 14:11Speaker 5: this thing in section ninety nine saying that ties to
- 14:13Speaker 5: Australia had to be taken into consideration without simply saying,
- 14:17Speaker 5: if you've abused someone, if you've bashed a woman, if
- 14:20Speaker 5: you've committed rape or sexual assault, you've killed someone or
- 14:23Speaker 5: as solid someone, doesn't matter who you identify as. It
- 14:26Speaker 5: doesn't matter how much you go to work and pay
- 14:28Speaker 5: your taxes and come home and mow the law, and
- 14:30Speaker 5: you're gone you're out and make it clear and believe
- 14:34Speaker 5: it or not. Just a couple of hours later. That
- 14:36Speaker 5: is exactly what the government has done. And thank Christ
- 14:39Speaker 5: because it has been so long in coming. And how
- 14:42Speaker 5: you could have this kind of overarching thing. If they've
- 14:45Speaker 5: got ties to the community, then that should be emphasized
- 14:47Speaker 5: and that should be able to they should be able
- 14:49Speaker 5: to stay without having a very an equally clear carve
- 14:53Speaker 5: out like they said, oh you know things like do
- 14:55Speaker 5: these things like you know, if they've killed someone that
- 14:57Speaker 5: should be taken into consideration, or you think and of
- 15:00Speaker 5: course you've got this thing saying well, no, their ties
- 15:02Speaker 5: to the country you have to bear. And they are
- 15:04Speaker 5: doing now, of course what they should.
- 15:05Speaker 6: Have done long ago.
- 15:07Speaker 5: Now I doubt very much was Andrew Giles who came
- 15:09Speaker 5: up with this all on his own. Some I think
- 15:11Speaker 5: Claire O'Neil, obviously has to publicly defend him, would be
- 15:14Speaker 5: privately seething because she has to eat the proverbial sandwich
- 15:19Speaker 5: every time he comes out and stuffs up, and she
- 15:22Speaker 5: has to go and clean up the mess. I dare
- 15:24Speaker 5: say the Prime Minister would have either said do this
- 15:28Speaker 5: or told them to fix it. And this is the
- 15:29Speaker 5: fix they've come up with, so good on albow for that.
- 15:32Speaker 5: But again the idea that you know, common sense or
- 15:36Speaker 5: the safety of the community was not paramount before this
- 15:39Speaker 5: came along just shows I think how completely incompetent, out
- 15:42Speaker 5: of his depth Andrew Giles is.
- 15:44Speaker 6: And again he complains about the.
- 15:46Speaker 5: Fact that the that the government has canceled these visas
- 15:51Speaker 5: and then the administrative appeals tribunals overturned them. Well, firstly,
- 15:55Speaker 5: the person, the head the Chief Commission of the Administrative
- 15:59Speaker 5: Appeals Tribune that actually beld the cat on this is
- 16:02Speaker 5: a former labor left colleague of Andrew Giles, a former
- 16:06Speaker 5: Speaker of the House Protection who said I have to
- 16:09Speaker 5: do this because this is what this directive clearly states
- 16:12Speaker 5: exactly right.
- 16:13Speaker 6: So there's that as well.
- 16:14Speaker 5: But not only that, he says, oh, but I canceled
- 16:16Speaker 5: the visas and then this independent tribunal that I've got
- 16:18Speaker 5: no control over then overturn my cancelation. He gave them
- 16:23Speaker 5: the power to overturn that cancelation. He clearly made it
- 16:28Speaker 5: explicitly in office at the heads of no one, it seems,
- 16:32Speaker 5: made it easier for them to overturn cancelation of visas
- 16:37Speaker 5: because anyone can plea. So again there's a level of
- 16:40Speaker 5: kind of immorality in terms of allowing these things. I mean,
- 16:43Speaker 5: we were just talking about Indigenous people and paying respects
- 16:47Speaker 5: to them. What says paying respects to Indigenous people more
- 16:50Speaker 5: than allowing an Indigenous woman to be bashed by a
- 16:55Speaker 5: Pseudanese immigrant claiming to be Indigenous and having him still
- 16:59Speaker 5: able to stay in the country in.
- 17:01Speaker 6: The orbit of his victim, one of his at least
- 17:05Speaker 6: they said it.
- 17:05Speaker 1: I mean, it is knife crime, cast.
- 17:08Speaker 5: It's a particular, it's a particular it's a particular, dark
- 17:12Speaker 5: irony that you would have an Administry of Decisions Try
- 17:15Speaker 5: and ad Ministry Appeals tribunal saying oh, you know, we
- 17:18Speaker 5: have to respect Indigenous people by giving this non Indigenous
- 17:22Speaker 5: person the right to stay in Australia so he can
- 17:25Speaker 5: continue to abuse his Indigenous partner. I mean, what kind
- 17:28Speaker 5: of Dantean hell are we living in where that actually
- 17:33Speaker 5: seems like a common sense decision by a quasi judicial body,
- 17:36Speaker 5: and where the government means it can.
- 17:39Speaker 4: Be a criminal immigrant in this country, but as long
- 17:43Speaker 4: as you have strong.
- 17:44Speaker 1: Enough ties, it's fine.
- 17:46Speaker 4: So if you've maybe had a kid here, or you've
- 17:49Speaker 4: married someone here.
- 17:50Speaker 1: Oh well you've.
- 17:51Speaker 4: Got ties, so you get to stay and it's all
- 17:54Speaker 4: just through to the keeper.
- 17:55Speaker 1: Never you mind.
- 17:56Speaker 4: He's Giles today, straight face, telling us I'm on the job.
- 18:01Speaker 4: I'm going to fix it.
- 18:03Speaker 7: I will be updating Ministerial Direction ninety nine, as the Prime.
- 18:07Speaker 2: Minister has just said order.
- 18:09Speaker 1: The new direction will order that.
- 18:12Speaker 4: All members of the at will adopt a common sense
- 18:16Speaker 4: approach to visa decision. Oh well, thank god, some common
- 18:20Speaker 4: sense that is new for you and your government, isn't it.
- 18:24Speaker 4: We can't wait for this new ubed tribunal. It can't
- 18:29Speaker 4: come fast enough.
- 18:30Speaker 1: But let's go to Parramatta.
- 18:31Speaker 4: Now we're they're thinking, oh, there's a lot of e
- 18:35Speaker 4: bikes on the road and these are getting.
- 18:37Speaker 1: Dodger and dodger.
- 18:38Speaker 4: These are motorized boat bikes, right, you see them.
- 18:42Speaker 3: It's all around boats motivating.
- 18:47Speaker 4: But they're like low powered motorbikes basically. I think they're
- 18:51Speaker 4: like what twenty five CC's. But a lot of people
- 18:54Speaker 4: who do deliver rou uber eats they get these bikes
- 18:58Speaker 4: and that's how they get around. That's how they earn
- 19:01Speaker 4: a buck delivering you your food. Well, they've decided it's
- 19:05Speaker 4: getting unsafe because there's no license for these people getting
- 19:10Speaker 4: around on these putt put bikes. And here's another opportunity
- 19:15Speaker 4: for us to regulate.
- 19:16Speaker 1: Regulate.
- 19:17Speaker 4: You can't even jump on an e bike anymore, says
- 19:20Speaker 4: the City of Paramatta.
- 19:21Speaker 1: You're gonna have to get a license.
- 19:24Speaker 3: So what they're saying is I know that there's a
- 19:26Speaker 3: lot of Indian and other ethnicities getting around on these
- 19:30Speaker 3: e bucks making money.
- 19:31Speaker 2: Because well that's what they've seen. They literally said it.
- 19:34Speaker 3: If you don't read the story online, they.
- 19:36Speaker 2: Actually specific I wasn't going.
- 19:37Speaker 3: To go to that they specifically, they specifically point out Indians.
- 19:41Speaker 4: Oh so it would be different if it were white
- 19:44Speaker 4: people on these.
- 19:45Speaker 3: What they're saying is they have foreign licenses. They don't
- 19:47Speaker 3: have Australian licenses. Therefore they don't understand the Australian road rules,
- 19:51Speaker 3: so they don't know how to ride a bike on
- 19:53Speaker 3: Australian roads. Absolute garbage, Like I'm sorry if you don't
- 19:57Speaker 3: know how to ride a bike of any persuade, and
- 20:00Speaker 3: you probably didn't get taught very well as a child.
- 20:03Speaker 3: I don't think it matters whether you are black, white, brindle,
- 20:06Speaker 3: whether you came here from India or Pakistan or Africa
- 20:10Speaker 3: or anywhere else on the face of the planet. You
- 20:11Speaker 3: can ride a bike just as badly as anyone.
- 20:14Speaker 2: Who was born here.
- 20:16Speaker 3: Why do we want to take away all these freedoms? Because,
- 20:19Speaker 3: of course, the great thing about a bike, and the
- 20:21Speaker 3: people say they should be registered because people run red
- 20:25Speaker 3: lights on bikes, and they should have speed cameras because
- 20:29Speaker 3: people get upset motors, Oh my god. But the great
- 20:32Speaker 3: freedom of a bike is that you don't have to
- 20:35Speaker 3: obey the rules.
- 20:36Speaker 2: You can evade the rules.
- 20:38Speaker 3: And if you take that away from cycling, watch the
- 20:41Speaker 3: point of cycling.
- 20:45Speaker 5: Caleb Bond, the world's only conservative pro cyclist.
- 20:49Speaker 3: I don't want the bike lay, I don't want the
- 20:54Speaker 3: bike lines.
- 20:54Speaker 5: I just want to be able to ride on people's rooftops. Firstly,
- 20:59Speaker 5: people say the Indians are not as good drivers as Australia,
- 21:02Speaker 5: don't know how to drive. They are ten times better
- 21:04Speaker 5: than Australian drivers. I have been driving around in you
- 21:07Speaker 5: Deli and the.
- 21:09Speaker 6: Drivers do Honestly.
- 21:12Speaker 5: There is a reason the road toll there is approximately
- 21:14Speaker 5: one hundred and forty thousand a year.
- 21:16Speaker 6: But still the fact that they get anywhere all the
- 21:19Speaker 6: time incredible. It's amazing.
- 21:20Speaker 5: I've seen them, and it's just it's like this sort
- 21:21Speaker 5: of hive mind. They turn a two lane road that
- 21:25Speaker 5: was like meant to be two lanes each way, I thought,
- 21:28Speaker 5: and it turns into a seven lane road with three
- 21:31Speaker 5: lanes squeezed into the two lanes one way, three lanes
- 21:34Speaker 5: squeezed into two lanes the other way, and then one
- 21:37Speaker 5: lane right in the middle, where people are driving straight
- 21:39Speaker 5: at one another and then dodging each other at the
- 21:41Speaker 5: last minute in this kind of crazy took took game
- 21:44Speaker 5: of chicken.
- 21:45Speaker 6: If you're via.
- 21:46Speaker 5: One centimeter to the rest, and never check your rearview mirrors.
- 21:49Speaker 5: If you do, you're dead already because you can't afford
- 21:51Speaker 5: to take your eyes one.
- 21:54Speaker 1: Your mate're some respect?
- 21:55Speaker 6: Give an e bike right, some respect? Can we be
- 21:57Speaker 6: watching and learning?
- 21:58Speaker 3: I mean, because they say to a danger to people
- 22:01Speaker 3: on the foot.
- 22:02Speaker 6: Little ladies, not too many of them, but let's be honest.
- 22:05Speaker 3: There are talk about it, but what about people who
- 22:09Speaker 3: get around on those mobility and they can be just
- 22:13Speaker 3: as much of a menace as anyone on an e bike.
- 22:16Speaker 2: You're on a.
- 22:16Speaker 3: Motorized bike or whatever it might be, you're trundling down
- 22:21Speaker 3: the footpath you're just as prone to knock someone over.
- 22:23Speaker 3: So do we then say that you need to have
- 22:25Speaker 3: a license to get on a mobility scooter? Do we
- 22:27Speaker 3: say that kids need licenses to get a bike? They'll
- 22:31Speaker 3: need a license to get an electric scooter to ride
- 22:34Speaker 3: around his kid? Like?
- 22:35Speaker 2: Where does this stuff?
- 22:36Speaker 4: In?
- 22:37Speaker 5: An e bike and a mobility scooter going head to
- 22:41Speaker 5: head in Harris Park.
- 22:44Speaker 2: I want to see drag races.
- 22:46Speaker 3: Actually, can we get drag races of mobility scooters.
- 22:49Speaker 6: Bike library as we speak.
- 22:52Speaker 3: I'll even put up a small purse for a prize
- 22:56Speaker 3: to make it happen if someone can organize it.
- 22:58Speaker 2: But I'll tell you who you.
- 22:58Speaker 3: Wouldn't want to see in a drag that's an electric
- 23:01Speaker 3: vehicle right now?
- 23:02Speaker 2: Actually, so I should have bit.
- 23:03Speaker 3: Some of them are pretty fast, particularly the Tesla's. But
- 23:06Speaker 3: the big problem with electric vehicles, of course, is they
- 23:08Speaker 3: don't make any noise. I mean they want to drag race,
- 23:11Speaker 3: you want lots and lots of noise. And I'm certainly
- 23:13Speaker 3: not the only one who seems to have a problem
- 23:15Speaker 3: with electric vehicles. Because the market has really softened. People
- 23:19Speaker 3: aren't They're not buying them in the same numbers that
- 23:22Speaker 3: they were because of course they've worked out that it's
- 23:24Speaker 3: all a bit of a sham. And one of the
- 23:26Speaker 3: great shams of it all now is that there's no
- 23:29Speaker 3: resale value in these things.
- 23:31Speaker 2: Now.
- 23:31Speaker 3: There are two reasons for that. One is that the
- 23:34Speaker 3: price of new electric vehicles keeps going through the floor
- 23:38Speaker 3: again because they can't sell them. So the manufacturers are
- 23:42Speaker 3: now reducing their prices on the shop floor significantly. If
- 23:45Speaker 3: you want to buy a Tesla model, why that's gone
- 23:48Speaker 3: from seventy two three hundred to sixty thousand, nine hundred.
- 23:52Speaker 2: That's a pretty big drop.
- 23:54Speaker 3: A pergoh E two thousand and eight has gone, would
- 23:57Speaker 3: you believe it, from sixty three thousand to third nine thousand,
- 24:01Speaker 3: nine ninety.
- 24:03Speaker 2: That is a real.
- 24:04Speaker 3: Reduction in the price because they really need people to
- 24:06Speaker 3: buy them now. The consequence of that is that if
- 24:09Speaker 3: you bought it for sixty thousand last week and now
- 24:12Speaker 3: the car's worth thirty nine thousand, if you go and
- 24:15Speaker 3: try to sell it in a year's time, the depreciation
- 24:18Speaker 3: is at least twenty thousand dollars. We all know you
- 24:21Speaker 3: drive a car off the shop floor and you lose value,
- 24:23Speaker 3: but you lose even more value with electric vehicles now
- 24:26Speaker 3: because the prices keep going down and then the technology
- 24:29Speaker 3: keeps improving with every year. So every time the range
- 24:32Speaker 3: goes up the driving range on a new electric car,
- 24:36Speaker 3: it means your old electric car is worth less and
- 24:39Speaker 3: less and less. It's no surprise I think that people
- 24:43Speaker 3: are not buying them and now that these manufacturers are
- 24:45Speaker 3: desperate to try and move them off the dealership floor.
- 24:49Speaker 2: Because people have woken up and gone, you know, it sounded.
- 24:51Speaker 3: Nice for a few minutes, but it's just not practical.
- 24:54Speaker 4: Yeah, not to mention charging them as an absolute nightmare.
- 24:57Speaker 4: There's lines out the door, no where.
- 25:00Speaker 1: You pull in.
- 25:01Speaker 4: I see them all the time, and I'm just like,
- 25:03Speaker 4: good luck with that. Fueling up still takes less than
- 25:06Speaker 4: two minutes.
- 25:07Speaker 1: But the angle that.
- 25:09Speaker 4: Some people have taken on this, like finance giant Ross
- 25:13Speaker 4: Gerber saying that no, this is due to Musk.
- 25:16Speaker 9: I love that and all the he keeps coming out
- 25:19Speaker 9: with all this conservative plat trap and saying all these
- 25:22Speaker 9: controversial things, and that.
- 25:25Speaker 4: Is what people think of when they decide not to
- 25:27Speaker 4: buy a Tesla.
- 25:28Speaker 1: So he is at least I.
- 25:29Speaker 6: Reckon who buys a Tesla? Why do you buy a Tesla?
- 25:35Speaker 5: To signal to the world, what a progressive planet, loving,
- 25:39Speaker 5: touchy feely, you know, nice super guy I am. But
- 25:43Speaker 5: that ultimate virtine is that ultimate virtue signal. And then
- 25:46Speaker 5: when along goes on you know X or whatever it's
- 25:49Speaker 5: called now and says you no annoying, uncomfortable things like
- 25:52Speaker 5: I believe in free speech or whatever, and suddenly he's
- 25:56Speaker 5: a pariah of the left. Then suddenly your tesla is
- 25:59Speaker 5: signaling the opposite. Think this giant seventy thousand dollars virtue
- 26:02Speaker 5: signaling exercise is suddenly sing signaling the wrong virtue signaling advice.
- 26:07Speaker 5: And so suddenly like, oh, I'm not going to take
- 26:09Speaker 5: it out of the people will think if I drive
- 26:11Speaker 5: my tesla, I like Elon musk lost Gerber. I don't
- 26:14Speaker 5: know who he is or whether he's a company or
- 26:16Speaker 5: a person.
- 26:17Speaker 4: Or he's actually an investor in Tesla himself.
- 26:20Speaker 5: But I reckon, I reckon he's onto something because you know, obviously,
- 26:24Speaker 5: like you said, the reason you buy an electric car
- 26:26Speaker 5: is it can't be because it's more convenient, because it's
- 26:29Speaker 5: not because you have to wait for half I can't
- 26:31Speaker 5: even wait on my phone charge cheap whatever whatever you
- 26:35Speaker 5: do it to show the world. You're a massive prog
- 26:38Speaker 5: rock wanker. And if Elon Musk.
- 26:40Speaker 1: That is what I think every time I see one.
- 26:42Speaker 5: If Elon Musk is suddenly the opposite of what you're
- 26:45Speaker 5: trying to say to everybody, then suddenly your tesla is worthless.
- 26:49Speaker 5: And as for the Purgos, well we all know why
- 26:52Speaker 5: they're worthless, because they're Pergos. Want to buy pergo Honestly.
- 27:05Speaker 3: Lecture of cars when you're getting around in the old
- 27:09Speaker 3: infestation of German cockr it's supposed to be.
- 27:12Speaker 5: That has been, that has been fumigated, and I now
- 27:16Speaker 5: just need to get it to the panel better for
- 27:17Speaker 5: the front because I had another incident in the Aldi
- 27:20Speaker 5: car park.
- 27:20Speaker 6: That's another story.
- 27:22Speaker 3: German not f If you can get an electric conversion kit,
- 27:26Speaker 3: would you do it to you?
- 27:27Speaker 6: It's already converted to LPG. It's already like anything to
- 27:32Speaker 6: an EV.
- 27:33Speaker 4: That's that's the that's a waste.
- 27:36Speaker 5: My mechanic Peter who believes that the human race was
- 27:39Speaker 5: founded by giant alien visitors to the Pyramids of Kazak.
- 27:44Speaker 1: Has it been disproved?
- 27:46Speaker 6: No, it hasn't. No, I'm all in is the smartest man.
- 27:50Speaker 5: Apparently there are actually ways where you can get your
- 27:54Speaker 5: favorite old car, like your American muscle car that you love,
- 27:57Speaker 5: and they will take out the old petrol engine and
- 27:59Speaker 5: put in an electric engen Yeah, yeah, and seventy or
- 28:05Speaker 5: eighty thousand dollars cloud. It's ridiculous thing it can buy.
- 28:09Speaker 4: You can bribe almost two teslas for that.
- 28:11Speaker 3: Imagine taking an old Mustang and turn it into an ev.
- 28:17Speaker 6: Again take recording of the muffler now outlawed.
- 28:20Speaker 4: Any Prime Minister worth a grain of salt would just
- 28:23Speaker 4: be like, don't touch the vintage cars. To Victoria now
- 28:26Speaker 4: where we're all very concerned about the problem of DV
- 28:29Speaker 4: in our country and we are hearing a lot about
- 28:31Speaker 4: it and what a scourge it is. It seems Premier
- 28:35Speaker 4: just Cinra Allen has come up with the perfect solution,
- 28:37Speaker 4: and that is to get Tim Richson MP to become
- 28:44Speaker 4: the Parliamentary Secretary for Men's Behavior Change. He proudly tweets today,
- 28:49Speaker 4: I want to share.
- 28:50Speaker 1: With you some pretty big news.
- 28:51Speaker 4: Premier just Center Allen has asked me to serve as
- 28:55Speaker 4: the Parliamentary Sector Secretary for Men's.
- 28:57Speaker 1: Behavior Change a nation.
- 29:00Speaker 4: First, Can I just say I absolutely hate this. Men
- 29:05Speaker 4: do not need to change their behavior. This is buying
- 29:08Speaker 4: into this insidious idea. There he is, doesn't he look
- 29:13Speaker 4: ready to change your behavior? Men? Into this insidious idea
- 29:17Speaker 4: that men across the board are a massive problem toxic masculinity,
- 29:22Speaker 4: everyone needs to change their behavior instead of what we
- 29:27Speaker 4: know to be a handful of repeat offenders in the
- 29:34Speaker 4: DV space.
- 29:36Speaker 5: I would just like to take issue with Tim Richardson's
- 29:39Speaker 5: definition of pretty big news on the Parliamentary Secretary for
- 29:45Speaker 5: Men's Behavioral Challenge. I mean, again, like with the indigenous issue,
- 29:50Speaker 5: this is a very very serious issue, and yet it
- 29:52Speaker 5: seems to get treated with the most tookenistic correct virtus
- 29:58Speaker 5: sing what is this going to?
- 29:59Speaker 1: That's right?
- 30:00Speaker 5: I mean, you know, is he now the behavior police?
- 30:03Speaker 5: Who does he think? You know, which of the repeat
- 30:06Speaker 5: violent offenders who murdered their ex partners over the last
- 30:10Speaker 5: few months that we've seen splashed across all the times,
- 30:12Speaker 5: which of them does he think he could have had
- 30:15Speaker 5: a quiet cup of tea with and everything would have
- 30:17Speaker 5: been okay? Like, I just do not understand how people
- 30:22Speaker 5: think on this issue. And again you are right there.
- 30:24Speaker 5: You know, these stats are not brought up that very
- 30:27Speaker 5: often because it's not it doesn't serve a convenient political narrative.
- 30:30Speaker 5: But you know, domestic violence, like all forms of violence,
- 30:34Speaker 5: is a criminal issue. It is not you know, you
- 30:37Speaker 5: can call it a lot of you when you say
- 30:38Speaker 5: it's a political issue, but primarily it's a criminal issue.
- 30:40Speaker 6: These people, people who are.
- 30:42Speaker 5: Prepared to be violent to break the law, do horrible
- 30:46Speaker 5: things to the people they should be loving and protecting
- 30:49Speaker 5: because they're psychotic, nasty, violent people with incredibly poor impulse
- 30:54Speaker 5: control and no empathy for other people around them.
- 30:58Speaker 6: So the idea that you know, hi, how are you?
- 31:00Speaker 6: What was that Barry? Was it?
- 31:02Speaker 5: Yes, Hi, I'm Tim, I'm the new Parliamentary Secretary for
- 31:05Speaker 5: Men's Behavioral Change. That this would change that I mean
- 31:09Speaker 5: two percent of people. An Australian institu of Criminology report
- 31:13Speaker 5: that seemed to disappear without us trace despite the fate.
- 31:16Speaker 5: It was the first and only comprehensive study of the
- 31:19Speaker 5: causes behind domestic violence and pulled together one hundreds and
- 31:23Speaker 5: hundreds and hundreds of other studies, thousands of documents, and
- 31:26Speaker 5: it found that, among many other things, there was a
- 31:29Speaker 5: report that found that fifty percent of domestic violence assaults
- 31:33Speaker 5: were committed by two percent of people. Yeah, so that's
- 31:38Speaker 5: the level of repeat offenders. If you look at all
- 31:40Speaker 5: the high profile murders that have just been so gut
- 31:42Speaker 5: churning and chilling, not a single one of them came
- 31:45Speaker 5: out of the blue, not a single one. And while
- 31:46Speaker 5: the Victorian governments were putting in Parliamentary Secretary to the
- 31:49Speaker 5: Mindehovi trade, you know what the new South Wales government,
- 31:51Speaker 5: a good labor right government, is doing. It is making
- 31:54Speaker 5: laws so that people who get charged with domestic violence
- 31:58Speaker 5: offenses don't get bail, they don't get out again with
- 32:01Speaker 5: a window of a couple of months to kill the
- 32:02Speaker 5: person for revenge before they know they're going to go
- 32:05Speaker 5: away in the slammer. That is how you tackle this problem,
- 32:07Speaker 5: not with these namby pamby bollocks. Oh look at me.
- 32:09Speaker 5: I care so much, but I'm not really doing anything
- 32:12Speaker 5: down south of the.
- 32:12Speaker 2: Marrat as well it should be.
- 32:14Speaker 3: And of course it denies having a men's behavior change.
- 32:17Speaker 3: Parliamentary secretary denies that there other forms of domestic violence.
- 32:21Speaker 2: Also, it's not always men.
- 32:24Speaker 6: It is over and so and so.
- 32:26Speaker 3: It's you're pinpointing one particular form of domestic violence and
- 32:30Speaker 3: then ignoring the rest. And imagine if you if you
- 32:32Speaker 3: were a bloke or even a woman who was a
- 32:35Speaker 3: victim of domestic violence by another woman, if you're in
- 32:37Speaker 3: a lesbian partnership, you would look at something like that
- 32:40Speaker 3: and go, well, I suppose the violence.
- 32:43Speaker 6: I you wouldn't that fair enough?
- 32:44Speaker 5: But those cases are extreme that those cases are extremely
- 32:47Speaker 5: rare statistically the overlalling majority, and sure do South Wales
- 32:50Speaker 5: the entirety of death in a particularly year. They did
- 32:53Speaker 5: it started, they went through all the cases. It is
- 32:55Speaker 5: men and women. So I've got no problem with that.
- 32:56Speaker 5: But again instead of just saying, oh look I've got
- 32:58Speaker 5: a little name badge now that said that I'm going
- 33:00Speaker 5: to change your behavior, you know, And again it's sort
- 33:02Speaker 5: of another We've had decades now of education campaigns changing
- 33:07Speaker 5: with favor. If anything, the problem has got worse. And
- 33:10Speaker 5: this is why people's ou admission it's a scourge. It's
- 33:12Speaker 5: a pandemic of domestic files. It's less than terrorism. And
- 33:15Speaker 5: this is after all, these broad education campaigns speaking to
- 33:19Speaker 5: all men have been out there in full force for
- 33:23Speaker 5: years and years and years. Clearly they're not working because
- 33:25Speaker 5: they're not targeting the real trouble spots. It's like putting
- 33:28Speaker 5: you know, it's like putting a speed camera on every
- 33:31Speaker 5: single corner instead of the corner you know that the
- 33:33Speaker 5: deadly accidents are happening at.
- 33:35Speaker 6: Instead of targeting the most at.
- 33:36Speaker 5: Risk people, the most at risk areas, they're just going
- 33:39Speaker 5: all men, can you please be better.
- 33:42Speaker 4: And running jolly ads that we pay millions of dollars for,
- 33:46Speaker 4: Like it starts with this respect.
- 33:48Speaker 1: And all this kind of thing.
- 33:49Speaker 4: The DV perpetrators aren't watching your dizzy little ads going yeah,
- 33:54Speaker 4: you know what, I should really pull my socks up
- 33:57Speaker 4: and stop bashing women for crying out a loud, do
- 34:02Speaker 4: your research and actually do things that are going to
- 34:05Speaker 4: affect change, like you just said we are doing in
- 34:08Speaker 4: New South Wales, thank goodness. Quickly to the States now,
- 34:11Speaker 4: where Donald Trump's criminal trial has just wrapped up. Now
- 34:16Speaker 4: we've just got to wait to hear what the jury
- 34:18Speaker 4: will come up with. It could be hours, it could
- 34:22Speaker 4: be days. We're all on the edge of our seats
- 34:24Speaker 4: to see how this latest witch hunt is going to end.
- 34:28Speaker 10: But actor Robert de Niro took it upon himself to
- 34:33Speaker 10: rock up outside the court today on the final day
- 34:36Speaker 10: of all the action and let everyone know where he stood.
- 34:42Speaker 1: I don't mean to scare you. No, no, wait, maybe.
- 34:44Speaker 6: I do mean to scare you.
- 34:46Speaker 11: If Trump returns to the White House, you can kiss
- 34:49Speaker 11: these freedoms goodbye that we all take for granted, and
- 34:53Speaker 11: elections forget about it.
- 34:55Speaker 6: That's over, that's done.
- 34:57Speaker 1: If he gets in, I can tell you right no now,
- 35:01Speaker 1: he will never leave. What kind of hysterical clap trap
- 35:06Speaker 1: is this? If he gets in, he'll never leave. We'll
- 35:09Speaker 1: never have another election, all our freedoms.
- 35:13Speaker 4: Gorne Poof of course this went down really well with
- 35:17Speaker 4: the Trump supporters outside court.
- 35:21Speaker 11: You're you areas you work, your suck trash.
- 35:36Speaker 6: Knock at movies, don't go after the movie.
- 35:38Speaker 1: How the Democrats what? I don't know whether this was
- 35:42Speaker 1: in conjunction with.
- 35:44Speaker 4: The Democrats, who would have sat around being like our
- 35:46Speaker 4: eighty one year old really seen old president is proving unpopular.
- 35:51Speaker 12: Let's wheel out a seemingly equally unhinged eighty year old
- 35:55Speaker 12: man to trumpet how great he is, Ladies and gentlemen,
- 35:59Speaker 12: Robert Nero and one of his most acting roles, yet
- 36:03Speaker 12: some kind.
- 36:03Speaker 6: Of remember the law to kill Trump gets re elected,
- 36:09Speaker 6: he will never.
- 36:10Speaker 3: He didn't do his his script rehearsal before he went
- 36:14Speaker 3: his show, people try.
- 36:16Speaker 4: To give him passion speeches from notes.
- 36:20Speaker 5: When I first heard this, I thought, I thought, yeah,
- 36:22Speaker 5: Robert de Niro is just wandering around soho and he's
- 36:25Speaker 5: just kind of, you know, got lost and ended up
- 36:27Speaker 5: on the court steps and going, oh, I'm going to
- 36:29Speaker 5: say something about Trump. Megan Kelly said earlier on Paul
- 36:32Speaker 5: Murray that that this was actually part of a sort
- 36:34Speaker 5: of orchestrated campaign by the Democrats to come.
- 36:39Speaker 6: And it's the worst thing.
- 36:41Speaker 5: Have they learned nothing from the fact that when Donald
- 36:43Speaker 5: Trump was out there and the Steel States speaking to
- 36:46Speaker 5: a thousands people that rallies about what he was going
- 36:47Speaker 5: to do for blue collar workers. Hillary Clinton was hanging
- 36:50Speaker 5: out with Beyonce, like, who do we know who's a
- 36:54Speaker 5: real man of the people.
- 36:56Speaker 13: Robert de Niro, Yeah, Raging Bull. You know, it's like
- 37:00Speaker 13: that was a movie. He was acting. He's not really
- 37:03Speaker 13: a doubt and he'll boxer seeming the movie star.
- 37:08Speaker 3: He thinks the US is about to turn into a
- 37:10Speaker 3: hotel California or of course you can check out, but
- 37:12Speaker 3: you can never leave. Donald Trump outside court today of course,
- 37:16Speaker 3: is now waiting for the deliberation well, he was as
- 37:19Speaker 3: entertaining as always.
- 37:22Speaker 2: Maybe no mistake about it. I'm here becot herself crooked.
- 37:27Speaker 7: Joe Biden, the worst president in the history of our country,
- 37:30Speaker 7: is destroying our country.
- 37:32Speaker 2: He's destroying our country and he's also destroying it with
- 37:35Speaker 2: the weaponization. And this is purely his webanization.
- 37:40Speaker 3: I mean, it's going to be interesting to see what
- 37:42Speaker 3: happens over the next couple of days.
- 37:43Speaker 1: It really is.
- 37:44Speaker 4: So the Dems rolled out dear Niro and someone who
- 37:47Speaker 4: didn't need to be paid or approached by the Republicans,
- 37:51Speaker 4: Star for Star Dennis Quaid. Here he is talking to
- 37:54Speaker 4: Pierce Morgan saying, Hey.
- 37:56Speaker 1: Trump's not perfect, but he's got my vote.
- 37:59Speaker 6: I think I'm going to vote for him.
- 38:01Speaker 14: I was ready not to vote for Trump until what
- 38:05Speaker 14: I saw is more than politics. I see a weaponization
- 38:09Speaker 14: of our justice system and a challenge to our constitutions
- 38:17Speaker 14: as Americans that I don't think we're going to have.
- 38:19Speaker 14: And you know, Trump is the most investigated person probably
- 38:24Speaker 14: in the history of the world, and they haven't been
- 38:28Speaker 14: able to really get him. People might call him an asshole,
- 38:32Speaker 14: but he's my asshole.
- 38:35Speaker 1: How's that for endorsement? This guy's an asshole.
- 38:38Speaker 10: He's my assle Stella Stelly.
- 38:41Speaker 4: You cannot for better ratings than that.
- 38:44Speaker 5: It's amazing and I've just got to say I'm really
- 38:46Speaker 5: looking forward to the next Robert Dener Dennis Quaid. I
- 38:49Speaker 5: think that's kind of you know, the dramatic tension is.
- 38:51Speaker 3: But you know, the one thing about Dennis Quaid was
- 38:53Speaker 3: he didn't have to read from notes in order to
- 38:56Speaker 3: give that speech.
- 38:57Speaker 2: He actually just sort of said it on the spot.
- 38:59Speaker 3: It's amazing how you feel like you can trust someone
- 39:01Speaker 3: when they can talk from the heart, unlike Robert de Niro.
- 39:04Speaker 3: All right, coming up in the papers, we'll tell you
- 39:07Speaker 3: about one Australian town where break ins have increased by
- 39:11Speaker 3: seventy percent.
- 39:12Speaker 2: Will tell you where it is after the break.
- 39:17Speaker 3: All right, let's get stuck into the papers, starting with
- 39:20Speaker 3: the Australian Tomorrow. Unbalanced Tingle, I've seen a bit unbalanced.
- 39:26Speaker 2: Not being able to pronounce the headline, Abe German.
- 39:31Speaker 3: Stingles ABC News chief's humiliating rebuke high profile ABC political
- 39:38Speaker 3: journalist law At Tingle has been publicly lambastard by the
- 39:42Speaker 3: public broadcaster's new boss, who said the veteran reporters fierce
- 39:45Speaker 3: criticism of Opposition leader Peter Dutton's policies on migration, on housing,
- 39:51Speaker 3: and her assertion that Australia is a racist country failed
- 39:55Speaker 3: to meet the organization's editorial standards. Oh knock me over
- 39:59Speaker 3: with a feather, Dart, I couldn't have been able to
- 40:01Speaker 3: tell that, Joe.
- 40:02Speaker 5: I guarantee you side unseen right now. There is a
- 40:06Speaker 5: Twitter hashtag that spouted about thirty thousand following.
- 40:10Speaker 6: And says, standish, I guarantee it.
- 40:13Speaker 5: I haven't heard, I don't know, I haven't looked. I'm
- 40:15Speaker 5: just saying put the house idea. But this is the
- 40:19Speaker 5: thing that they were all they will say. This is
- 40:21Speaker 5: another example of ABC's lurch to the right. Under whoever
- 40:28Speaker 5: it is, either Butcher or Kick Williams or whatever it is,
- 40:31Speaker 5: you can just absolutely guarantee.
- 40:32Speaker 3: The people who because balance is alert to the right.
- 40:36Speaker 5: Yeah, I guarantee you all the crazy rusted on ABC
- 40:40Speaker 5: sort of you know, boomer socialists who never came back
- 40:43Speaker 5: from Woodstock, plus all the new ones that they are
- 40:46Speaker 5: going to be losing their pajamas over this.
- 40:49Speaker 1: They just love what they call a brusal takedown.
- 40:52Speaker 4: Though in his brutal takedown of Tingle, mister Stephens said,
- 40:57Speaker 4: although the remarks were conversational and not me in her
- 41:00Speaker 4: work capacity, the ABC and its employees have unique obligations
- 41:04Speaker 4: in the Australian media.
- 41:06Speaker 1: Yeah, it sounds so brutal.
- 41:07Speaker 4: It sounds like the really smashed it for it news boss.
- 41:11Speaker 1: Go get him.
- 41:13Speaker 5: Of course it was the Odds that first broke the side.
- 41:15Speaker 5: Sophie Ellsworth. The real sacrifice to journalism actually schlept it
- 41:20Speaker 5: to the Sydney Writers Festival and had to sit through
- 41:23Speaker 5: the whole thing.
- 41:24Speaker 6: Just what a sacrifice to get that.
- 41:25Speaker 3: Honestly, I'd be asking for triple time to go and
- 41:31Speaker 3: do an assignment.
- 41:32Speaker 5: Another quick thanks to Albow for implementing the policy that
- 41:38Speaker 5: James and I came up with on the Daily Telegraph
- 41:41Speaker 5: video site. Immigration Minister Andrew Giles was born month after
- 41:45Speaker 5: the Albanesi government was elected that up to two thousand,
- 41:49Speaker 5: eight hundred cases could be impacted by its decision to
- 41:53Speaker 5: soften Section five oh one visa cancelations, undermining his claim
- 41:57Speaker 5: that judges had misinterpreted Direction ninety nine when allowing foreign
- 42:02Speaker 5: born rapists, pedophiles and other criminals to stay in Australia.
- 42:06Speaker 5: That's not a paragraph you want to read, is it.
- 42:08Speaker 1: Well, it's not like we didn't already know.
- 42:10Speaker 4: I mean in the Senate hearing just yesterday, Yes, it
- 42:15Speaker 4: was Tuesday, just yesterday. We already were told that. They
- 42:19Speaker 4: were like, don't let him blame.
- 42:21Speaker 1: Us for anything.
- 42:23Speaker 4: We're acting on his directions, and we warned him that
- 42:27Speaker 4: should he go ahead with Direction ninety nine, it would
- 42:29Speaker 4: result in more criminal immigrants just being able to stay
- 42:33Speaker 4: here and we're helpless to which is odd because his
- 42:35Speaker 4: defense is why wasn't I warned, Yeah, I.
- 42:38Speaker 1: Know, exactly.
- 42:40Speaker 4: Tell me that this was the word for words said
- 42:43Speaker 4: that in the Senate here, and going back.
- 42:45Speaker 3: To something you said earlier, I think that Andrew Giles
- 42:49Speaker 3: is the child in nappies and Clara O'Neill is the
- 42:52Speaker 3: hapless mother trying to clean him up. That's where we've
- 42:54Speaker 3: gotten to. If he's not a dead man walking, then
- 42:57Speaker 3: there's something seriously wrong.
- 42:58Speaker 4: Well, we know there's a lot of things seriously wrong
- 43:01Speaker 4: with this government. They don't seem to have a problem
- 43:04Speaker 4: with him. To the front page of the Herald Son,
- 43:06Speaker 4: now there's been a breakthrough in the Sam Murphy murder case.
- 43:10Speaker 1: We've found it, reads the splash.
- 43:13Speaker 9: Nearly four months police have desperately hoped for a key
- 43:17Speaker 9: clue in the search for missing mum Cementa Murphy. On Wednesday,
- 43:21Speaker 9: there were hugs and high fives at what.
- 43:23Speaker 4: Is hoped will be a major breakthrough after searchers uncovered
- 43:27Speaker 4: a mobile phone at a dam in bunig Jong. So
- 43:31Speaker 4: we know that Patrick Stephenson, the twenty two year old tradesman,
- 43:36Speaker 4: he has been charged with her murderer. He'll would return
- 43:39Speaker 4: to court in August. But so far, this is when
- 43:43Speaker 4: I'm like, you know what, I don't think it should
- 43:45Speaker 4: be against the law to just torture those kind of people.
- 43:47Speaker 1: And be like, we need to know what happened? Where
- 43:52Speaker 1: is she? But of course, in lieu.
- 43:54Speaker 4: Of that, we have a phone which hopefully police will
- 43:58Speaker 4: be able to get into and find out perhaps what
- 44:01Speaker 4: her last moments looked like.
- 44:03Speaker 3: Look, secretly, some things cops do behind closed doors may
- 44:06Speaker 3: venture on torture. But the phone that they found today
- 44:10Speaker 3: was apparently in a leather wallet and enclosed in that
- 44:13Speaker 3: leather wallet, from what reporters who were there could see
- 44:16Speaker 3: were credit cards and potentially ID cards and that kind
- 44:19Speaker 3: of thing. So in terms of a breakthrough in this case,
- 44:22Speaker 3: I mean they still have not found the body.
- 44:24Speaker 5: It just defies belief and they started to just doing
- 44:26Speaker 5: my head in. But even the fact that it's taken
- 44:29Speaker 5: so long that they found this in a dam, I mean,
- 44:33Speaker 5: it is almost the equivalent of a needle in.
- 44:35Speaker 6: A haste, And it just gives you.
- 44:38Speaker 5: I suppose in case of just the scale and the
- 44:41Speaker 5: huge resources that have gone into this, the amount of
- 44:44Speaker 5: combing through that they must have done, yees, phenomenal. Now
- 44:48Speaker 5: we promised, and so we shall deliver. The town where
- 44:53Speaker 5: city wrestles with a seventy percent spike in break ins
- 44:58Speaker 5: over the past decade is, of course, beautiful downtown Townsville,
- 45:03Speaker 5: where the Townsville Bully reports sleepless nights and shattered nerves
- 45:08Speaker 5: are becoming the norm for victims of crime in Townsville.
- 45:11Speaker 5: As the city wrestles with a seventy percent spike in
- 45:15Speaker 5: break ins over the past decade, Police data shows the
- 45:20Speaker 5: number of unlawful entry offenses saw it from three thousand,
- 45:23Speaker 5: two hundred four and twenty thirteen to five thousand, four
- 45:26Speaker 5: hundred and seventy four in twenty twenty three, signaling a
- 45:30Speaker 5: growing concern. I think growing concern is probably something of
- 45:33Speaker 5: an understatement.
- 45:33Speaker 2: I would have thought so.
- 45:34Speaker 3: And every one of these headlines that comes forward in
- 45:38Speaker 3: Queensland over the next few months is just poisoned for
- 45:41Speaker 3: Stephen Miles and the state government up there.
- 45:44Speaker 6: But it's all made up in Kayleb.
- 45:45Speaker 3: That's exactly as they said, there is no crime wave.
- 45:49Speaker 3: It's just a perception and it's the Meja lying to you.
- 45:53Speaker 6: A lot of electric scooters in townships.
- 45:55Speaker 2: Electric with foreign weavers getting around on them.
- 46:00Speaker 3: But every one of these stories just needs to be
- 46:02Speaker 3: driven home because the paliche now Miles government had so
- 46:07Speaker 3: long to do something about youth crime and it just
- 46:10Speaker 3: gets worse and worse and worse.
- 46:12Speaker 4: But you know, they had their brand new eleven points
- 46:14Speaker 4: plan to tackle the hum crime crisis is.
- 46:17Speaker 1: In the States.
- 46:18Speaker 4: This is their fifth time they've had a point plan.
- 46:22Speaker 4: It started out with five points, then it was a
- 46:24Speaker 4: different five points. Now we're up to eleven points, so
- 46:27Speaker 4: you know what's going to work.
- 46:28Speaker 1: The last one was a ten point plan.
- 46:30Speaker 4: This one's an eleven point actual points.
- 46:33Speaker 6: It turns out there was no point.
- 46:35Speaker 3: Indeed, nothing fixes anything better than an eleven point plan.
- 46:39Speaker 3: After the break, the man who decided he was going
- 46:41Speaker 3: to live as a border collide you reckon, he could
- 46:44Speaker 3: stick to it.
- 46:44Speaker 2: You'll find that.
- 46:49Speaker 4: Now.
- 46:49Speaker 3: There are some mornings I wake up and look at
- 46:51Speaker 3: my two cats on the bed, Boo and clawed Claude
- 46:54Speaker 3: named for Claude Crow of the Adelaide Crows by the way.
- 46:57Speaker 1: Oh God, why would you do? Wouldn't it be.
- 46:59Speaker 3: Niceudn't it be nice if I could live the life
- 47:02Speaker 3: of a cat, even though you had to lick your
- 47:04Speaker 3: own bam and all sorts of stuff. But there was
- 47:05Speaker 3: one blocal Liz who decided he actually wanted to be
- 47:09Speaker 3: a border college He did.
- 47:10Speaker 4: His name is Toco, and in twenty twenty two he
- 47:13Speaker 4: realized his dream after spending fourteen thousand dollars on a
- 47:18Speaker 4: very elaborate border collie outfit. But he's now decided in
- 47:22Speaker 4: twenty twenty four that it's actually really hard to walk
- 47:26Speaker 4: in this costume.
- 47:27Speaker 1: As a human. It's hard to walk on all fours.
- 47:30Speaker 4: So he's calling time on his lifelong fantasy of becoming
- 47:35Speaker 4: an animal. I guess he's fulfilled it now, Joe.
- 47:37Speaker 1: So he's like, you know what, I'm one, I'm done here.
- 47:42Speaker 5: I just have so many questions, but one of them
- 47:45Speaker 5: that's terrifying.
- 47:47Speaker 4: I hope no kids will one of them, because that
- 47:49Speaker 4: is just and that poor dog is a.
- 47:55Speaker 2: Mate. You wouldn't put him over the but look, you
- 47:58Speaker 2: can't even move. But like.
- 48:01Speaker 3: If someone walks into your costume shop and says, I
- 48:04Speaker 3: want to border collie costume because I want to live
- 48:06Speaker 3: as a border Collie, you don't make him the border
- 48:09Speaker 3: collie costume. Yes you don't.
- 48:15Speaker 6: He takes a man.
- 48:17Speaker 3: But then you call the local you know, asylum, and go,
- 48:21Speaker 3: there's a dude here who wants to live as a
- 48:23Speaker 3: border Collie.
- 48:24Speaker 5: Like Judge, Egie was a bear. I can't I live
- 48:27Speaker 5: like a border college No. The real question here is firstly,
- 48:31Speaker 5: when you tease this story before the break, he said,
- 48:33Speaker 5: and do you think you follow through with it as
- 48:36Speaker 5: if this was a story about millennials not being able
- 48:38Speaker 5: to commit to projects. And then when you're introducing it
- 48:42Speaker 5: after the break, you make it about how you want
- 48:45Speaker 5: to live like a cat, even though it could involve
- 48:47Speaker 5: liking your own butt? Will we And then you have
- 48:50Speaker 5: the to marrate it to Judge Toko, are you telling
- 48:54Speaker 5: me that you may be a magistrate?
- 48:57Speaker 3: I'm sorry, but cats and dogs and whatever mean animals
- 49:00Speaker 3: that live in the home, don't have to work, they
- 49:02Speaker 3: don't pay any rent.
- 49:03Speaker 2: You're telling me you've never wanted to live like that.
- 49:07Speaker 5: I'm having to lick your own butt every day. I mean,
- 49:11Speaker 5: you know what, I think. I'd like to catch the
- 49:13Speaker 5: train and go to work.
- 49:14Speaker 2: Look, I tell you what.
- 49:15Speaker 3: I want to come back as a race horse because
- 49:17Speaker 3: I know how well they treated.
- 49:19Speaker 2: Thank you very much for your company.
- 49:21Speaker 3: Tonight upnixt the reader, Pan and your show Goodnes
