- 0:10Speaker 1: It's the reform.
- 0:14Speaker 2: Tonight, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor arrested by police. But where is
- 0:18Speaker 2: this ex wife hiding? Is Fergie the next thing danger
- 0:21Speaker 2: from the law. I'll talk to the author of a
- 0:23Speaker 2: book who predicted Andrew's shocking fall.
- 0:26Speaker 1: Also tonight, a Muslim.
- 0:27Speaker 2: Senator from Afghanistan tells Pauline Hansen to leave Australia.
- 0:32Speaker 3: I'll tell Pauline Hanson that if she doesn't like how
- 0:35Speaker 3: things are here in Australia, then she can really pack
- 0:39Speaker 3: her bags and go to the US and continue being
- 0:41Speaker 3: best buds with Trump.
- 0:44Speaker 2: And who are we really importing with this mass immigration?
- 0:47Speaker 2: A premier tells one nation voters are the people to
- 0:51Speaker 2: wipe our backsides. But first, the isis bride scandal is
- 0:56Speaker 2: killing the Abanzi government. It's not just the lies the
- 0:59Speaker 2: government told you. No, we're not helping to bring back
- 1:03Speaker 2: these eleven women who join the Islamic State. No, we're
- 1:06Speaker 2: not bringing back their children as well. It's the naivety
- 1:10Speaker 2: even now about radical Islam, about the danger. These eleven
- 1:15Speaker 2: women are coming back from one of the two camps
- 1:17Speaker 2: in Syria housing Islamic State women since the collapse of
- 1:21Speaker 2: their color fate. Here is one such isis woman not
- 1:25Speaker 2: an Australian, from the bigger of the two camps.
- 1:28Speaker 4: You have the own last minum.
- 1:33Speaker 2: And here again children from that same camp, not the
- 1:37Speaker 2: Australian one, stoning an American reporter.
- 1:41Speaker 4: Many of the children appear to be extremely radical. They're
- 1:44Speaker 4: all saying one day, I hope to kill you. One
- 1:47Speaker 4: day I want to slit your throat. The longer we stayed,
- 1:51Speaker 4: the more aggressive the children became. Are here come the stones,
- 1:58Speaker 4: I'm going to move to another Yeah, as we left,
- 2:03Speaker 4: they made sure we got the message.
- 2:06Speaker 2: And here as a child, not an Australian. Also not
- 2:10Speaker 2: from the same camp as Australians are in threatening another
- 2:14Speaker 2: Western reporter. Now, look, maybe these Australian women and Australian
- 2:25Speaker 2: children trying to come back are much nicer than those
- 2:28Speaker 2: of Islamic state.
- 2:29Speaker 1: Women and children have just shown you.
- 2:32Speaker 2: Or maybe they're shaped by the same culture of extremism
- 2:36Speaker 2: and violence. Who knows, but I would guess that most
- 2:39Speaker 2: Australanids would back the plans reveal today. Be the Opposition
- 2:42Speaker 2: leader Angus Taylor to shut the door, to make it
- 2:45Speaker 2: a crime, to facilitate the return of these Islamic State
- 2:49Speaker 2: women up to ten years jail. Now that is a
- 2:53Speaker 2: challenge in the Albanezi government, which says it doesn't want
- 2:55Speaker 2: these women back, isn't helping them come home, it says,
- 3:00Speaker 2: it seems to work a lot in secret to help
- 3:03Speaker 2: them do just that.
- 3:05Speaker 5: Labor has done everything except drive these people to the
- 3:09Speaker 5: airport to support them returning to Australia. They have had
- 3:13Speaker 5: secret meetings on repatriation and Tony Burke has been part
- 3:16Speaker 5: of those meetings. There have been DNA tests done, they've
- 3:20Speaker 5: been passports issued. Only one technical exclusion order has been
- 3:26Speaker 5: issued to Tony Burke's mate is involved in assisting the repatriation,
- 3:33Speaker 5: and Labor has been spending months preparing for these returns.
- 3:39Speaker 2: Now, picking up on that last example from the lisad
- 3:41Speaker 2: Angus Taylor head of all the help diss governors indeed
- 3:44Speaker 2: given to these Islamic state women and including the man
- 3:49Speaker 2: who's trying to bring them home, a friend of and
- 3:52Speaker 2: fundraiser for immigration Mians to Tony Burke, the New South
- 3:55Speaker 2: Wales premiere today confirmed that the Albanizi government had indeed
- 4:00Speaker 2: he'd been talking to the States four months about preparing
- 4:03Speaker 2: for the return of these people even had plans on
- 4:08Speaker 2: how to fight the radicalization of those children.
- 4:12Speaker 6: New South Wales government would educate them and we would
- 4:16Speaker 6: make sure that they were safe, and we would make
- 4:18Speaker 6: sure that they were within an organization or a group,
- 4:21Speaker 6: or an education or a school that had Australian values.
- 4:27Speaker 2: I'm not sure that's as reassuring as Chrismans meant that
- 4:30Speaker 2: to sound, because I think it raises serious issues what
- 4:33Speaker 2: he just said. I mean, he suggests thing without openly
- 4:36Speaker 2: saying it, that the returning children from the culture had
- 4:38Speaker 2: just showed you will be put into state schools, which
- 4:42Speaker 2: ones yours? But it did seem to hint that they
- 4:47Speaker 2: would not be going to Muslim schools, or at least
- 4:49Speaker 2: schools that don't have Australian values.
- 4:53Speaker 1: And again you've got to.
- 4:54Speaker 2: Ask which schools does he mean that don't have Australian
- 4:57Speaker 2: values and why aents funding them. In fact, just today
- 5:03Speaker 2: we learned that a board director of the taxpayer funded
- 5:05Speaker 2: Malakfad Islamic School in Sydney attended events organized by the
- 5:09Speaker 2: radical Hisbutia as a speaker and has now stepped down
- 5:13Speaker 2: after Sky News as Carolyn Marcus uncovered a video he
- 5:17Speaker 2: posted of armed Hamas terrorists accompanied by a prayer in
- 5:22Speaker 2: Arabic asking Allah to help them gain victory and to
- 5:26Speaker 2: catch the necks of their enemies and make their shots
- 5:30Speaker 2: hit the target. Now, the man's lawyers say, oh no,
- 5:34Speaker 2: it's not a mus supporter, and that prayer had nothing
- 5:36Speaker 2: to do with the fighters. By the way, that same
- 5:40Speaker 2: school had a kafir wearing teacher convicted of assaulting a
- 5:43Speaker 2: man trying to counter a pro Palestinian protest. Now, the
- 5:49Speaker 2: return of these Islamic state women after the slaughter of
- 5:53Speaker 2: Jews at Bondai by allegedly Islamic state supporters, the return
- 5:58Speaker 2: of these women and their children must force us to
- 6:01Speaker 2: discuss such things and discuss so many other issues that
- 6:06Speaker 2: our governments are preferred to bury. Now that includes, of course,
- 6:10Speaker 2: Muslim immigration, the issue raised by One Nation leader Pauline Hansen. Now,
- 6:15Speaker 2: I mean, we have this problem with Islamic state women
- 6:18Speaker 2: essentially because we did let them in the first place,
- 6:21Speaker 2: or their parents or their grandparents. We let them immigrate here.
- 6:24Speaker 2: We also let the elder of the two alleged Bondai killers,
- 6:27Speaker 2: the father, we let him in from India. And the
- 6:30Speaker 2: problem here isn't just with the immigrants who then turned
- 6:33Speaker 2: into radical Islamic preachers and terrorists. I mean, you just
- 6:37Speaker 2: look right now, this desperate search meanwhile going on for
- 6:42Speaker 2: a grandfather kidnapped in Sydney the case of mistaken identities.
- 6:46Speaker 2: Say please, His kidnappers are believed to be in a
- 6:49Speaker 2: gang war with the extremely violent Alamedin crime family originally
- 6:53Speaker 2: from Lebanon and Syria. You've got to ask what have
- 6:58Speaker 2: our leaders done, who do they let in and why?
- 7:02Speaker 2: And why did the Albanizer government learn from all this
- 7:06Speaker 2: and instead give three thousand Palestinians from terrorists run Gaza
- 7:11Speaker 2: tourist visas to come here with minimal initial security checks.
- 7:17Speaker 2: And why is the government helped despite its denils the
- 7:21Speaker 2: return of these Islamic state women. Even today, Anthony Albanezi
- 7:26Speaker 2: was rubbishing the opposition's proposal to criminalize helping terrorists or
- 7:30Speaker 2: people from terrorist groups returned to Australia.
- 7:34Speaker 7: More than forty people came, including fighters on their watch.
- 7:40Speaker 1: That's just gas lighting.
- 7:43Speaker 2: It's true some fighters returned under Tony Abod and Malcolm
- 7:46Speaker 2: Turnbull's governments. It's true, but that is precisely why new
- 7:50Speaker 2: laws were then passed that declared terrorist's areas and criminalize
- 7:54Speaker 2: going there. And now we've learned that even tougher laws
- 7:57Speaker 2: are needed. So why is the Albanzer government refusing to
- 8:02Speaker 2: say yes? And many Australians clearly feel threatened by the
- 8:09Speaker 2: Islamic state women, but also threatened by Muslim immigration generally.
- 8:14Speaker 2: So this attack on Pauline Hansen by Muslim senator Fatima
- 8:18Speaker 2: Payment born in Afghanistan was done.
- 8:22Speaker 3: I'll tell Pauline Hanson that if she doesn't like how
- 8:25Speaker 3: things are here in Australia, then she can really pack
- 8:28Speaker 3: her bags and go to the US and continue being
- 8:31Speaker 3: best buds with Trump.
- 8:33Speaker 2: An Afghan refugee telling a nationalist who was born right
- 8:37Speaker 2: here in Australia that she Hansen should leave to make
- 8:43Speaker 2: room for more Fatima Payments. And how about the double
- 8:48Speaker 2: standards here? You remember when Hanson, the One Nation leader,
- 8:52Speaker 2: suggested that another Muslim senator, the Greens marine Ferruki, might
- 8:56Speaker 2: also be happier overseas after attacking thee as well as
- 9:01Speaker 2: our country is racist. Hanson told the Pakistan born Farruki,
- 9:05Speaker 2: your attitude discuss is clear. You're not happy, so pack
- 9:08Speaker 2: your bags and pee off back to Pakistan. Now for that,
- 9:12Speaker 2: Hanson was actually found guilty of racism. Can you believe
- 9:17Speaker 2: she's appealed and she's now waiting for the Federal Court's decision.
- 9:21Speaker 2: But do you think Payman will face court for telling
- 9:23Speaker 2: Hanson to leave her own country?
- 9:26Speaker 1: As if Joining me and.
- 9:28Speaker 2: Michael Kroger, former Victorian Liberal President and Michael Danby, former
- 9:31Speaker 2: Federal Labor politician and chairman of the Joint Standing Committee
- 9:34Speaker 2: on Foreign Affairs, Defense and Trade, Michael Danby the Opposition
- 9:39Speaker 2: says banned people helping people from a declared terrorist hotspot
- 9:43Speaker 2: or members of terrorist group returned to Australia.
- 9:46Speaker 1: Is that a good idea or is it too cruel
- 9:49Speaker 1: to the children?
- 9:51Speaker 8: Well, I'm not worried about the cruelty to the children,
- 9:54Speaker 8: as I'm worried about the threats to Australians. A eighteen
- 9:58Speaker 8: year old was killed after stabbing two police officers and
- 10:02Speaker 8: in dev Hills in twenty fourteen. In twenty fifteen, a
- 10:07Speaker 8: fifteen year old stabbed to death an accountant leaving the
- 10:10Speaker 8: Paramatntic Police headquarters and then he was shot to death.
- 10:13Speaker 8: And we all remember only too recently a young man
- 10:18Speaker 8: in Sydney stabbed an Armenian bishop in the eye sorry,
- 10:23Speaker 8: he was an Assyrian bishop in the eye. Now I
- 10:26Speaker 8: want to know Tony Burke and Elbow are any of
- 10:29Speaker 8: this cohort boys fourteen to eighteen, against whom even Mark
- 10:35Speaker 8: dreyfus reintroduced counter terrorist legislation. Come on, this is serious stuff.
- 10:41Speaker 8: After Bondai, these two don't seem to get it.
- 10:47Speaker 1: Michael Crowger, do these people seem together?
- 10:51Speaker 9: No, they don't. And Andrew on the point of cruelty,
- 10:55Speaker 9: you can't separate the mothers from the children. You can't
- 10:58Speaker 9: bring the children here without father and without a mother,
- 11:01Speaker 9: against their will, their miners. I mean, so they've got
- 11:04Speaker 9: to stay with the mother. Who's the cruel person. I'll
- 11:07Speaker 9: tell you the cruel person is Andrew. The mother. The
- 11:10Speaker 9: mother who's gone to that country, gone to Syria to
- 11:13Speaker 9: support Islamic State, married an Islamic State fighter, and then
- 11:17Speaker 9: having joined the caliphate, has had the audacity, the indecency
- 11:22Speaker 9: to bring those kids into the world in that environment,
- 11:26Speaker 9: knowing that those children were going to be brought up
- 11:30Speaker 9: under a caliphate. That was the intention of these women.
- 11:34Speaker 9: So if anyone's to blame for cruelty to the children,
- 11:36Speaker 9: it's the mother. It's the mother and the father, it's
- 11:39Speaker 9: not the Australian government, it's not the government of Syria.
- 11:42Speaker 9: But Andrew, what we're seeing here is this government is
- 11:45Speaker 9: doing everything they possibly can to bring these Asis brides
- 11:49Speaker 9: to Australia and as we're seeing from the polling, the
- 11:52Speaker 9: public have had enough.
- 11:55Speaker 2: Well, you mentioned polling Michael Craig and Michael Danby another shock,
- 12:00Speaker 2: this one from Roy Morgan, are crucially taken between last Monday,
- 12:05Speaker 2: when Paul and Hanson that night asked how you could
- 12:08Speaker 2: tell the good Muslim and last Thursday, when Hanson was
- 12:12Speaker 2: being damned everywhere in the media as a racist.
- 12:14Speaker 1: For saying so.
- 12:16Speaker 2: The result in New South Wales, according to the Roy
- 12:19Speaker 2: Morgan Pole, is shocked. To add to all the other shots.
- 12:22Speaker 2: One nation leads with thirty percent of the primary vote,
- 12:26Speaker 2: ahead of the Labor government on twenty five and the
- 12:29Speaker 2: coalition trailing badly at nineteen.
- 12:31Speaker 8: Your response, it's counterintuitive, Andrew, toward everyone in Ultimo and
- 12:36Speaker 8: the ABC and the Sydney Morning Herald think. So people
- 12:41Speaker 8: see there's violence, they see the street violence, they see
- 12:44Speaker 8: these people coming in from Syria, they don't want them.
- 12:49Speaker 8: And Labor voters as well as many Liberal voters shift
- 12:52Speaker 8: their vote to One Nation. I don't know whether the
- 12:55Speaker 8: government doesn't get the politics of this either, apart from
- 12:59Speaker 8: the ethics and safety issues.
- 13:03Speaker 2: Well, it's interesting we had a similar We've had similar
- 13:06Speaker 2: results in South Australia, which is facing an.
- 13:10Speaker 1: Election next month.
- 13:13Speaker 2: Interestingly too, the Liberal senator Alexandtik, of the party's right wing,
- 13:20Speaker 2: has been filmed meeting One Nation's latest star candidate, Cory Bernardi,
- 13:25Speaker 2: is standing in the South Australian election this afternoon. Is
- 13:30Speaker 2: that a hint that One Nation might get another start
- 13:35Speaker 2: deffection as well? Do you think, Michael Kroger.
- 13:38Speaker 9: I don't think so. And very clearly they didn't.
- 13:41Speaker 1: They weren't worried.
- 13:42Speaker 9: About being photographed them and it's not as if they
- 13:44Speaker 9: went to someone's home and had a private meeting. They're
- 13:46Speaker 9: in a very public place there in Adelaide. So I
- 13:49Speaker 9: don't think so, Andrew. But to go back to that
- 13:50Speaker 9: poll Andrew that you're just talking about with Michael Danby,
- 13:53Speaker 9: you look at that One Nation VDE of thirty. Now
- 13:56Speaker 9: the twenty twenty three state election in New South Wales,
- 13:58Speaker 9: One Nation got less than two percent. They've gone from
- 14:02Speaker 9: two to thirty. Mins has gone down twelve and the
- 14:05Speaker 9: Coalition have gone down sixteen. Min's has gone from thirty
- 14:08Speaker 9: seven to twenty five and we've gone thirty five to
- 14:10Speaker 9: nineteen twenty eight percent increase in the one Nation vote.
- 14:15Speaker 9: Despite how good Min's has been over a long period
- 14:18Speaker 9: of time on the question of Jewish hatred in New
- 14:20Speaker 9: South Wales, what this tells you is this a large
- 14:24Speaker 9: bulk of the electorate, including a very large number of
- 14:27Speaker 9: labor voters, blue collar labor voters, are sick of mass migration.
- 14:31Speaker 9: They're sick of what's happening in New South Wales. They're
- 14:34Speaker 9: sick of Isis brides, They're sick of terrorism. They're obviously
- 14:39Speaker 9: discussed and appalled by the master of Jews on the
- 14:42Speaker 9: streets in Sydney. They're appalled by these disgraceful, you know,
- 14:47Speaker 9: pro Palestinian anti Jewish demonstrations at the Opera House, the
- 14:52Speaker 9: Lakember mosques, that set hate preachers. I mean, they've just
- 14:56Speaker 9: had enough. The public have had enough. And even though
- 14:59Speaker 9: they're saying to Chris means you've been great on all
- 15:01Speaker 9: these other issues, the change in Australian society that is
- 15:06Speaker 9: happening because of mass immigration, those voters are saying call
- 15:10Speaker 9: me a racist, call me whatever you I don't care.
- 15:12Speaker 1: I don't care.
- 15:13Speaker 9: Our country is at risk here and they're going to
- 15:15Speaker 9: vote for one nation in very large numbers because of
- 15:19Speaker 9: mass migration and the fallout from Islamic terrorism.
- 15:25Speaker 1: Mather Dan, I think it.
- 15:26Speaker 2: Could be summed up by the fact that I think
- 15:28Speaker 2: a lot of Australians are now feeling that their home
- 15:31Speaker 2: has been turned into a hotel with all sorts of people,
- 15:33Speaker 2: and too many of them coming in and demanding changes
- 15:36Speaker 2: to the furniture, changes to the wallpaper, changes to the decorps,
- 15:41Speaker 2: like they own the joint. And people are losing a
- 15:45Speaker 2: sense of control or even familiarity with their country has
- 15:49Speaker 2: become a stranger to them. Now do you think I'm
- 15:52Speaker 2: exaggerating here? I mean, you see when I used to
- 15:55Speaker 2: warn that this was in case happening, the ABC was
- 15:58Speaker 2: denouncing me as a.
- 16:00Speaker 1: Racist, etc.
- 16:01Speaker 2: But I think now we are seeing this sentiment happening
- 16:04Speaker 2: as in live time, you know, we seeing it right
- 16:08Speaker 2: now in these polls.
- 16:10Speaker 8: Well, the average Ossie is in a mug after Bondai.
- 16:15Speaker 8: These issues have been crystallized for them. They may have
- 16:18Speaker 8: been a bit arcane. The Middle East might have been
- 16:20Speaker 8: a bit too far away. You were never a racist, Andrew.
- 16:24Speaker 8: You're a person who had disagreements with government policy and
- 16:27Speaker 8: people should have argued on the basis of that. And
- 16:30Speaker 8: I think that the amazing votes for one Nation will
- 16:34Speaker 8: come back. A label will go back in New South Wales,
- 16:38Speaker 8: but it'll be amazing in South Australia. For a few
- 16:41Speaker 8: weeks we have a South Australian Labor government re elected
- 16:45Speaker 8: versus a one nation opposition.
- 16:51Speaker 2: Just quickly, I need to know we're all focused on
- 16:53Speaker 2: immigration and the Islamic State Brads. In the meantime, you know,
- 16:59Speaker 2: the economy is going backwards, Michael Kroger. As you know,
- 17:02Speaker 2: Australians are getting poorer. I thought it was fascinating. Treasurer
- 17:06Speaker 2: Jim Charmers has just got a rocket from a giant
- 17:09Speaker 2: of the labor movement, former ACTU Secretary Bill Kelty, who's
- 17:13Speaker 2: told a Senate inquiry into the capital the gains tax
- 17:17Speaker 2: discount the Charmers seems keen to cut that it might
- 17:21Speaker 2: just be another cash gram. And then Kelty really got
- 17:24Speaker 2: stuck in saying over the five years, the tax paid
- 17:29Speaker 2: by working people without deduction is growing in real terms
- 17:33Speaker 2: while their real incomes are barely moving or falling. It
- 17:37Speaker 2: is working people who are paying disproportionately for the increases
- 17:41Speaker 2: in expenditure. So when you've got even Bill Kelty saying
- 17:45Speaker 2: working people are getting poorer under this labor government because
- 17:49Speaker 2: Charmers is spending too much, I mean, look, I know
- 17:52Speaker 2: many Australians won't know who Bill Kelty is, but I
- 17:56Speaker 2: wonder how Charmers will take that.
- 17:58Speaker 9: Well Andrew, if they don't know who or keilty as,
- 18:00Speaker 9: they should look up their history. I mean, this guy
- 18:03Speaker 9: is a giant of labor politics and union politics. Jim
- 18:07Speaker 9: Chalmers is not his not his toenail, so he should
- 18:10Speaker 9: listen to Kelty. Kelty is another one that actually points
- 18:14Speaker 9: out that if you mess with increase government expenditure it
- 18:16Speaker 9: can be inflationary. We've been through this absurd argument in
- 18:19Speaker 9: recent weeks. Did the governor say this, did Charming? I mean,
- 18:22Speaker 9: for God's sake, massive increases in government expenditure are inflationary
- 18:27Speaker 9: and that's what's happening in this country. And Kelty's pointed
- 18:29Speaker 9: that out. The problem is that Charmers is two week
- 18:32Speaker 9: I've always said this, this guy is two weeks. He's
- 18:35Speaker 9: a pretty boy.
- 18:35Speaker 1: Treasurer.
- 18:36Speaker 9: He's two weak to take on his own constituency by
- 18:39Speaker 9: drawing back government expenditure to the historic levels twenty four
- 18:43Speaker 9: to twenty five percent of GDP, not twenty seven percent plus.
- 18:47Speaker 9: And that's why this country. One of the reasons his
- 18:49Speaker 9: country is in a mess and working people paying because
- 18:53Speaker 9: inflation is higher than wage growth and that hurts the
- 18:58Speaker 9: working poor. And that's what saying, And of course he's
- 19:01Speaker 9: absolutely right.
- 19:04Speaker 2: In fact, he led the challenge to turn that around
- 19:07Speaker 2: under the hawk Keating government. Michael Kroger Michael Danby, thank
- 19:11Speaker 2: you very much to you both. After the break, the
- 19:13Speaker 2: Prime Minister says the families of people killed in the
- 19:17Speaker 2: Bondou massacre are generous to him. A new documentary suggests
- 19:22Speaker 2: his dreaming. There's many reasons one nation support has exploded
- 19:30Speaker 2: in the past nine months. I mean the immigration obviously
- 19:33Speaker 2: is one, but another I'm convinced is the bondo massacre
- 19:37Speaker 2: of Jews in early December. Now that horror for many Australians.
- 19:43Speaker 2: This is just because of obviously mass murder on our
- 19:49Speaker 2: own beaches, but also it is linked to immigration, and
- 19:54Speaker 2: it is linked to the feeling that many Astralians now
- 19:56Speaker 2: seem to have that is this country no longer feels
- 19:59Speaker 2: like it's not the Australia they were raised. Then now
- 20:03Speaker 2: you look at this graphic tracking one nation's rise, if
- 20:08Speaker 2: anything is even faster after this massacre, and that's certainly
- 20:12Speaker 2: when Labour support the top line in red suddenly fell
- 20:17Speaker 2: as well. And I think a lot of those voters,
- 20:19Speaker 2: a number of them would have gone to.
- 20:21Speaker 1: One nation too.
- 20:22Speaker 2: That massacre shot so many of us and also exposed
- 20:25Speaker 2: a massive failure of leadership from the Prime Minister, I mean,
- 20:28Speaker 2: doing so little to fight anti Semitism, in fact encouraging
- 20:32Speaker 2: it with his over the top attacks on Israel. That's
- 20:35Speaker 2: why Anthony Albinizi was bootsed loudly at Bondo by mourners there.
- 20:52Speaker 2: The Prime Ministers asked about that by Andrew Clenel on
- 20:55Speaker 2: his show yesterday, and the PM just brushed it off.
- 21:00Speaker 1: Did that hurt you personally? Oh, look.
- 21:04Speaker 7: Occurred from a small number of people who were there
- 21:08Speaker 7: that evening. Overwhelmingly what mattered to me was when I
- 21:13Speaker 7: sat down in the land rooms of families who had
- 21:17Speaker 7: loved ones killed on December fourteen, They were worn, they
- 21:23Speaker 7: were generous.
- 21:27Speaker 2: But after my show tomorrow night, We are going to
- 21:30Speaker 2: run Sherry Markson's extraordinary documentary on the Bundeou massacre, and
- 21:35Speaker 2: I don't see the survivors being quite so forgiving of
- 21:38Speaker 2: their prime minister at all, Like the family of one
- 21:41Speaker 2: of the dead, of rabbi who'd warned Albanize something deadly
- 21:45Speaker 2: was brewing this anti Semitism. Here's part of that documentary.
- 21:50Speaker 10: Many of those present at the Kannaka festival had taken
- 21:53Speaker 10: it upon themselves to fight for action. Rabbi Elie Schlanger
- 21:59Speaker 10: had even written to Prime Minister Anthony Alberesi just three
- 22:03Speaker 10: months earlier to accuse him of betraying the Jewish people
- 22:07Speaker 10: over Palestinian recognition. How worried was he about the antisemitism crisis.
- 22:15Speaker 1: He was very worried.
- 22:17Speaker 11: Yeah, he wrote a letter Albinizi. He was on his
- 22:23Speaker 11: Facebook and yeah he was. He was definitely expressive about
- 22:29Speaker 11: his concerns. He didn't keep it quiet.
- 22:33Speaker 1: Joining me is Shari Marx and Shari, great to see you. Thanks.
- 22:38Speaker 1: It's extraordinary, isn't it.
- 22:40Speaker 2: A rabbi warning the Prime minister of exactly the kind
- 22:44Speaker 2: of hatred that then cost him his life, and you
- 22:47Speaker 2: interview relatives of victims who also feel betrayed. But to
- 22:51Speaker 2: listen to the Prime Minister, it's all as if he's
- 22:53Speaker 2: been forgiven, is he.
- 22:55Speaker 10: Well the comment that Albanzi made to Andrew Colonel that
- 22:58Speaker 10: you just played there, that he went to the private
- 23:01Speaker 10: homes and it was a different story. Well, Andrew, I'll
- 23:03Speaker 10: tell you what happened. When he had a private meeting
- 23:07Speaker 10: with the family of Rabbi Elie Schlanger right after he
- 23:11Speaker 10: was killed at Bondi. His niece, Rabbi Shlanger's niece said
- 23:16Speaker 10: to the Prime Minister at this private meeting, did you
- 23:19Speaker 10: read the letter my uncle sent you? And Albanize said no,
- 23:24Speaker 10: he had no idea about the letter, so she slid
- 23:26Speaker 10: it across the table to him. She said, read it
- 23:28Speaker 10: out loud. This is the courage that the niece of
- 23:31Speaker 10: Rabbi Elie Schlanger had who was killed at Bondy. And
- 23:35Speaker 10: ALBANIZI didn't read it out loud. He read it quietly,
- 23:38Speaker 10: so he can claimed publicly to Clonel that he had
- 23:41Speaker 10: this incredibly warm reception. That's not the truth, Andrew, That's
- 23:46Speaker 10: not what happened the families and I didn't bring this up, Andrew.
- 23:51Speaker 10: You know my feelings on this. But I went into
- 23:53Speaker 10: this documentary just intending to retell the story of Bondy
- 23:58Speaker 10: and three quarters the large part of the documentary is
- 24:02Speaker 10: retelling what happened on December fourteen at Bondi in minute
- 24:07Speaker 10: by minute, gripping detail, more comprehensive than anything any other
- 24:11Speaker 10: media outlet has come close to doing. But then what
- 24:16Speaker 10: emerged was most of the people I were interviewing said,
- 24:20Speaker 10: we were raising this, we were worried about this. We'd
- 24:22Speaker 10: written to the Prime Minister Andrew. Another mum as well,
- 24:25Speaker 10: Sammy Cogan. I'm going to play her clip on my
- 24:28Speaker 10: show later. She also had written to the Prime Minister.
- 24:31Speaker 10: Hers was a year before. So people were worried about this,
- 24:34Speaker 10: and they are angry at the Prime Minister for his
- 24:37Speaker 10: lack of action, which many of them believe, including Matilda's parents,
- 24:42Speaker 10: is responsible for what happened at BONDI.
- 24:47Speaker 1: What was it you.
- 24:48Speaker 2: Wanted us to know when you were making this documentary, Sherry.
- 24:54Speaker 10: Look, I didn't want these stories to be forgotten, Andrew.
- 24:57Speaker 10: I mean, we know after the Holocaust how important it
- 25:01Speaker 10: was to record the stories for posterity of what happened,
- 25:05Speaker 10: and I didn't want this to be forgotten. You know
- 25:08Speaker 10: how quickly the news cycle moves on. I mean already
- 25:11Speaker 10: now it feels like Australia has just moved on from
- 25:14Speaker 10: this deadly terror attack. So it is incredibly important, crucial
- 25:20Speaker 10: to properly record what happened that day at Bondi and
- 25:24Speaker 10: the lead up to the massacre as well. But also
- 25:28Speaker 10: five days after the terror attack, it was very clear
- 25:32Speaker 10: that I was interviewing so many people and I was
- 25:34Speaker 10: starting to piece together the stories and how they were
- 25:37Speaker 10: all interwoven. And so that's what's so powerful about this
- 25:42Speaker 10: documentary because we've got fifty seven people on camera. We
- 25:46Speaker 10: interviewed fifty seven witnesses, survivors, heroes, victims and the family
- 25:53Speaker 10: members of people killed. There's nothing else like this. It
- 25:57Speaker 10: is very powerful, it's incredible to watch. It is sad.
- 26:02Speaker 10: You probably need a tissue a couple of times if
- 26:06Speaker 10: like me, you do get emotional. But the family, so
- 26:09Speaker 10: many family members of people killed were part of this documentary.
- 26:13Speaker 10: They want Australians to know what happened.
- 26:19Speaker 1: SHERRYE.
- 26:20Speaker 2: I'll say in public what I say to you privately.
- 26:23Speaker 2: A number of times I've really admired how you've kept
- 26:27Speaker 2: your focus, kept to some extent your impartiality where that
- 26:32Speaker 2: has been necessary in the face of something You've warned
- 26:37Speaker 2: against yourself for quite some time. You've seen people you
- 26:41Speaker 2: know being massacred for being Jewish as you are. You've
- 26:46Speaker 2: thrown yourself into this, into writing a book and all
- 26:48Speaker 2: that you mentioned the tears.
- 26:51Speaker 1: How are you coping with this? Because it must.
- 26:53Speaker 2: Come a time in the quietness when you have nothing
- 26:55Speaker 2: else to do, when you think about this.
- 26:57Speaker 1: It must be overwhelming for you.
- 27:00Speaker 10: I'm not alone in that, Andrew. The entire Jewish community
- 27:04Speaker 10: has been crippled by this massacre. And you know, we
- 27:08Speaker 10: had the summer holidays, the Christmas period, New Year's Eve,
- 27:11Speaker 10: and there were so many times I was there with
- 27:14Speaker 10: my children at the beach or you know, one of
- 27:16Speaker 10: those times when you're meant to be happy and celebrating,
- 27:20Speaker 10: and my mind was stuck on the night of December fourteen,
- 27:24Speaker 10: that Sunday night, when I went straight to Bondi after
- 27:27Speaker 10: the attack to report and to interview people who were
- 27:31Speaker 10: literally coming off the Karniker festival. The doctor who told
- 27:36Speaker 10: us live on air that a ten year old girl
- 27:39Speaker 10: had been shot. Now I know Matilda's parents so well,
- 27:42Speaker 10: and I feel like I know Matilda's so well, even
- 27:45Speaker 10: though I never met her, And I have to say
- 27:48Speaker 10: that it feels like all day, every day, Matilda's there
- 27:51Speaker 10: in my mind with me. And because I can't get
- 27:56Speaker 10: over that a ten year old girl was gunned down
- 27:59Speaker 10: at BONDI just the injustice of that, and then you
- 28:02Speaker 10: think that our authorities didn't do enough for her. And
- 28:05Speaker 10: when I interviewed her father and her mom, Michael and Valentina,
- 28:09Speaker 10: and Michael said, Andrew, I said to them, do you
- 28:12Speaker 10: think the Albanezy government is partly responsible for what happened
- 28:17Speaker 10: to your daughter to Matilda? And Michael said to me,
- 28:20Speaker 10: he interrupted me, he said, not partly, they're responsible. They're responsible.
- 28:27Speaker 10: I mean, I'm devastated, and I'm not alone. The whole
- 28:30Speaker 10: Jewish community is, and not just the Jewish community, but
- 28:32Speaker 10: you are, Andrew, Chris Kenny is. So many people here
- 28:35Speaker 10: at Sky, so many of our viewers, they hate what
- 28:38Speaker 10: is happening to this kind.
- 28:40Speaker 2: You make a good point. You make a good point.
- 28:43Speaker 2: I don't want this ghetto wise as a Jewish thing.
- 28:47Speaker 2: It affects us all. It affects us all. And I
- 28:51Speaker 2: urge people to watch your documentary tomorrow thank you for
- 28:54Speaker 2: your time.
- 28:55Speaker 10: Thank you Andrew.
- 28:58Speaker 2: After the break, have you been calm about all these
- 29:00Speaker 2: skilled the migrants the government tells you we're bringing in
- 29:04Speaker 2: a premier blows the whistle. Now it's not just mass
- 29:11Speaker 2: immigration and hate preachers, making so many strands feel that
- 29:14Speaker 2: the country is out of the control, it's divided, it's
- 29:17Speaker 2: under assault. This is also this new obsession with race politics,
- 29:22Speaker 2: you know, and seeing racism everywhere, and government's funded of course,
- 29:26Speaker 2: like this example from a couple of years ago, the
- 29:29Speaker 2: taxpayer funded ABC promoting a book by a taxpayer funded
- 29:32Speaker 2: Sydney professor and three co authors called Unsettling Colonial Automobilities,
- 29:38Speaker 2: which if you hadn't guessed, it's claiming that cars are
- 29:41Speaker 2: a weapon of colonialism, a tool of racist violence, and
- 29:44Speaker 2: used the fine aborigin is for driving and registered vehicles.
- 29:48Speaker 12: This idea that we criminalize Aboriginal people in their car
- 29:52Speaker 12: is part of the colonial system. You know, you can't
- 29:55Speaker 12: drive and be free as an Aboriginal person cars or
- 30:00Speaker 12: so colonial because the police use cars to chase Aboriginal people.
- 30:06Speaker 2: But above all, there is immigration now running at more
- 30:09Speaker 2: than four times the level of the nineteen nineties, four
- 30:13Speaker 2: times and a couple of years ago more than seven
- 30:16Speaker 2: times that level.
- 30:17Speaker 1: Now we're told by.
- 30:18Speaker 2: The immigration mister Tony Burker, don't worry. You know, there's
- 30:21Speaker 2: a lot of skilled immigrants we're bringing in here, and
- 30:24Speaker 2: that is our big focus.
- 30:25Speaker 1: That's what you're told well on the weekend.
- 30:26Speaker 2: So the strays Premiere Pittum and an Alska splew the whistle.
- 30:30Speaker 2: When you try to persuade one nation supporter, it's the
- 30:33Speaker 2: back mass immigration. And so that the people we're bringing
- 30:36Speaker 2: in included people one nation voters would need just to
- 30:40Speaker 2: wipe their backsides.
- 30:43Speaker 4: My message to one nation voters is.
- 30:50Speaker 5: Who's going to feed you and bathe you and wipe
- 30:54Speaker 5: your bum when you're ninety.
- 30:57Speaker 1: Join me.
- 30:57Speaker 2: Elisa Godard, former foreign correspondent, founder of Adoni Media, sky
- 31:02Speaker 2: News host The Nikodi Georgio at Leasta the way Melanauskus
- 31:06Speaker 2: the scribes, we're actually importing an underclass. You know, people
- 31:09Speaker 2: will just hold a spoon to your mouth or paper
- 31:12Speaker 2: to your bottom. I mean, this doesn't sound like a
- 31:14Speaker 2: healthy basis for mass immigration and integration.
- 31:18Speaker 13: Andrew watching that, you kind of think you said the
- 31:20Speaker 13: quiet bit out loud, because when you break it down,
- 31:25Speaker 13: that's thinking exactly what he said. It's about people who
- 31:27Speaker 13: are there to wipe your bottom. So it's demeaning to
- 31:30Speaker 13: the people who he is meant to be out their respecting,
- 31:32Speaker 13: which is the five hundred and fifty thousand people around
- 31:35Speaker 13: this country who work in aged care, And it is
- 31:38Speaker 13: an insult to the immigrants who are coming into this country.
- 31:41Speaker 13: If we're meant to be bringing people in who are
- 31:43Speaker 13: skilled workers, and Tony Burker is all about we're bringing
- 31:45Speaker 13: people who are going to make this country a better place, well,
- 31:48Speaker 13: then you can't be out there demeaning the workers who
- 31:51Speaker 13: are going into aged care and saying well, basically our
- 31:54Speaker 13: policy is that all we want people coming into is
- 31:57Speaker 13: do these low paid jobs that Australians don't want to do.
- 32:00Speaker 13: If you listen to the South Australian.
- 32:01Speaker 2: Premier and also Deniker, it's the underclass side of it.
- 32:07Speaker 2: You know that here are people that would you know,
- 32:10Speaker 2: if that's what they do, that would be very low
- 32:13Speaker 2: paid jobs and it's a demeaning job.
- 32:16Speaker 1: If you listen to the South Australian Premiere.
- 32:20Speaker 2: I don't know if that's a way that we're going
- 32:22Speaker 2: to foster an integrated society, bringing in essentially a class
- 32:26Speaker 2: of servants.
- 32:27Speaker 14: No, I mean it's basically saying we're importing slaves into
- 32:30Speaker 14: the country. It almost has racial undertones, to be quite
- 32:33Speaker 14: honest with you, Andrew. Look, the reality is, and I
- 32:37Speaker 14: completely disagree with what Peter Malanowskis said. I think that
- 32:40Speaker 14: those comments are just stupid and they do demean a workforce.
- 32:43Speaker 14: I mean, if there's an issue with the age care sector,
- 32:45Speaker 14: then we need to look at reforming the age care sector.
- 32:47Speaker 14: But the problem is is that we don't need more
- 32:49Speaker 14: Uber drivers, we don't need more delivery drivers, we don't
- 32:53Speaker 14: need more taxi drivers. It's about bringing other kind of
- 32:56Speaker 14: migrants into this country. But when I first heard his comments,
- 32:59Speaker 14: my initial thought was this is exactly why we cannot
- 33:03Speaker 14: have a proper debate in this country about migration, and
- 33:06Speaker 14: goodness me knows we need it because you've got politicians
- 33:10Speaker 14: who do not know what to say. They are falling
- 33:13Speaker 14: over themselves like Peter Malanowskis has. When you think about it,
- 33:17Speaker 14: really it is one nation that are setting the agenda
- 33:20Speaker 14: on this, saying well, we need to reduce the number
- 33:22Speaker 14: of people coming into this country. We also need to
- 33:24Speaker 14: figure out the value system and the quality of migrants
- 33:27Speaker 14: that are coming into this country. So that was my
- 33:29Speaker 14: initial thought when I heard Peter Malanowskus's comments. Migration Andrew
- 33:34Speaker 14: isn't acute vote driving issue. And I'm sure that just
- 33:38Speaker 14: like in other parts of the country, South Australia is
- 33:40Speaker 14: the same. They've got a housing crisis, Labor's not meeting
- 33:42Speaker 14: any of its housing targets, rents are going up, there's
- 33:44Speaker 14: a cost of living crisis. He's not exactly selling it,
- 33:48Speaker 14: is he He's not exactly selling selling migration. He's doing
- 33:51Speaker 14: the exact opposite. So again it's an acute drive vote
- 33:55Speaker 14: driving issue, but no politician seems to be able to
- 33:57Speaker 14: handle it other than One Nation.
- 34:01Speaker 2: Well, speaking of that, then Elisa at One Nation support,
- 34:04Speaker 2: it's the most amazing political phenomenon I've seen for I
- 34:10Speaker 2: don't know how long how it's gone from very low
- 34:14Speaker 2: to leading in some states. I know that it's a
- 34:18Speaker 2: protest signal to tell a polse of this. We do
- 34:21Speaker 2: not know how it's actually going to transfer into seats
- 34:25Speaker 2: in parliament. I've got my doubts, But how do you
- 34:27Speaker 2: explain this, like I say, explosion of support for One
- 34:31Speaker 2: Nation Andrew.
- 34:33Speaker 13: I think it's what Danika said, they're hearing from Pauline Hanson.
- 34:36Speaker 13: Well she's been saying it now for twenty seven plus years,
- 34:38Speaker 13: but they're hearing from her exactly how they're feeling. They're
- 34:41Speaker 13: watching what is happening in Australia. They're watching the so
- 34:44Speaker 13: called shame we're meant to have about being Australians and
- 34:47Speaker 13: it's not our land, it's not our home. And she
- 34:49Speaker 13: is saying what they are thinking. And I think that
- 34:51Speaker 13: is why people are turning to one nation. And what
- 34:54Speaker 13: I know is that there's all the members they've had,
- 34:56Speaker 13: new members they've had signed up. I think they're averaging
- 34:58Speaker 13: around two thousand new members every ten days. So put
- 35:01Speaker 13: that into perspective, seventy nine percent of those have never
- 35:05Speaker 13: been a member of a political party. So it's not
- 35:08Speaker 13: about necessarily stealing. Yes, they are stealing votes from the
- 35:11Speaker 13: Coalition and Labor and other parties, but they're actually enlivening
- 35:14Speaker 13: a whole new base which haven't been motivated before to
- 35:18Speaker 13: even be interested in politics because they're seeing what is
- 35:21Speaker 13: happening to this country and they're finally seeing a politician
- 35:24Speaker 13: out there who's saying what they think.
- 35:28Speaker 2: Yeah, But Danika, I'm hearing people say, you know, commentators,
- 35:32Speaker 2: a couple in them.
- 35:33Speaker 1: I've got in mind. One I mentioned in my column today.
- 35:38Speaker 2: Suggests me, oh, this is just populism, like there's somehow
- 35:42Speaker 2: a sin to listen to the populace.
- 35:45Speaker 1: I always thought, well, you know, the.
- 35:47Speaker 2: Essence of democracy was vox popular that you listen to
- 35:50Speaker 2: the public. Apparently that's a sin, and Hansen is the
- 35:54Speaker 2: chief sinner. I mean, do you understand this, this fear
- 35:58Speaker 2: that she is actually talking about issues that appealed to
- 36:02Speaker 2: so many voters.
- 36:03Speaker 14: No, that's just the usual narrative from the left, Andrew,
- 36:06Speaker 14: they're the ones that are scared. Okay, the majority of Australians,
- 36:09Speaker 14: I believe, are starting to wake up, and if you
- 36:10Speaker 14: look at the latest polling, it suggests exactly that. In
- 36:14Speaker 14: my view, what's happened here is Australia has changed, particularly
- 36:17Speaker 14: over the last two years. Since October seven, twenty twenty three.
- 36:20Speaker 14: We've got anti Semitism running rife, we've got flags of
- 36:22Speaker 14: terror groups being waived, we've got hate preachers elated over
- 36:25Speaker 14: the attacks, and it all culminated in the Bondai terrorist attack,
- 36:29Speaker 14: the largest terrorist attack on home soil, where fifteen people
- 36:32Speaker 14: were murdered in cold Blood. Now, who has been the constant,
- 36:35Speaker 14: who's been the constant warning about radical Islam, warning about
- 36:38Speaker 14: the dangers of mass migration from the day that she
- 36:40Speaker 14: was put into the Parliament. It's Pauline Hanson. And there
- 36:43Speaker 14: is a blueprint over in the UK, but Nigel Farage
- 36:47Speaker 14: on the exact same trajectory. People trust him because he's
- 36:51Speaker 14: been talking about mass migration his entire career. People trust
- 36:54Speaker 14: Pauline Hansen because she's been talking about mass migration her
- 36:57Speaker 14: entire career. I think all that's happened is the face
- 37:00Speaker 14: of Australia has changed and we've got voters waking up
- 37:03Speaker 14: that the only person, the only constant out of all
- 37:06Speaker 14: of this has been Pauline Hanson, and the major parties
- 37:09Speaker 14: haven't caught up to that.
- 37:13Speaker 2: I just wonder, Lisa, when I was listening to that,
- 37:15Speaker 2: I was getting an image of Pauline Hanson's sort of
- 37:17Speaker 2: like the family so fair. I mean, may not be
- 37:22Speaker 2: necessarily only that she says what is now you know,
- 37:26Speaker 2: something that a lot of people are responding to. But
- 37:29Speaker 2: the mere fact that she is a constant, she is
- 37:32Speaker 2: like you know, the art that comes around for decades
- 37:36Speaker 2: now and it's a familiarity, something constant in a world
- 37:40Speaker 2: of far too much change that people are responding.
- 37:43Speaker 1: To as well.
- 37:44Speaker 13: And the other thing, Andrew is the more that the
- 37:46Speaker 13: establishment attack Pauline Hanson, particularly now that she's growing in
- 37:50Speaker 13: the polls and she has got that membership base that
- 37:52Speaker 13: is growing, I think it will help push her along
- 37:55Speaker 13: even further. So as much as Labor and even the
- 37:57Speaker 13: Colors you want to say she's a protest party, Labour
- 38:00Speaker 13: want to attack her on every front, and every lefty
- 38:02Speaker 13: in the world will go after her. I actually think
- 38:04Speaker 13: that will embolden her. As long as she can continue
- 38:07Speaker 13: to be as resilient as she has, I think we'll
- 38:09Speaker 13: continue to see that this membership base grow and the
- 38:12Speaker 13: real test will be what happens by election.
- 38:17Speaker 2: Yeah, look and the South straight election. I agree, the
- 38:22Speaker 2: air could go to the balloon very quickly if that doesn't,
- 38:25Speaker 2: if the one nation voters don't turn up. Lisa god
- 38:27Speaker 2: Dnika di Georgio, thank you very much to you both.
- 38:30Speaker 2: After the break, Andrew Manbada Windsor was arrested by police.
- 38:34Speaker 2: The whole world knows that now. But when's Fernie hiding?
- 38:38Speaker 2: Is she in trouble as well. I'll talk to the
- 38:40Speaker 2: author of the book that actually predicted and spelled out
- 38:44Speaker 2: their grift. You know, first scene that the man formerly
- 38:51Speaker 2: known as Prince Andrew would be finally and totally destroyed
- 38:55Speaker 2: for being a sleeze, a man who slept with a
- 38:58Speaker 2: teenager seventeen year old to him by his friend, convicted
- 39:02Speaker 2: pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, now dead. But that is not why
- 39:07Speaker 2: he's now plastered all over the world's newspapers looking absolutely
- 39:11Speaker 2: shocked and shattered after being arrested. No, he's been arrested
- 39:15Speaker 2: for misconducting public office involving suspected financial crimes, which is
- 39:21Speaker 2: exactly the downfall that was predicted last year by Andrew
- 39:24Speaker 2: Lowney in his latest book, The Rise and Fall of
- 39:26Speaker 2: the House of York. Now you might recall that Andrew
- 39:29Speaker 2: Lowney on My show last year said, yes, the attention
- 39:33Speaker 2: was on Andrew Batten Windsor's sex scandals, claims that it
- 39:37Speaker 2: slept with a thousand women. That was in the book too,
- 39:40Speaker 2: But the biggest story was how he mysteriously got so rich.
- 39:45Speaker 2: The biggest story was his abusive office. And Andrew Lowney
- 39:49Speaker 2: joins me again Andrew, thank you so much for your time. Well,
- 39:53Speaker 2: I've got to say you were absolutely right on the money.
- 39:57Speaker 2: What specifically a police investigator, Well.
- 40:02Speaker 15: They're looking into misconduct in public office. Clear is a
- 40:05Speaker 15: lot of evidence, particularly now from the dump of Epstein material,
- 40:10Speaker 15: which kind of backs up, as you say, kindly, what
- 40:13Speaker 15: I've found in my research. I don't think that this
- 40:16Speaker 15: precludes an investigation into sex trafficking. And I think we've
- 40:20Speaker 15: also getting a new idea, a new era, and I'll
- 40:22Speaker 15: predict this to you, and that's national security. One of
- 40:26Speaker 15: the problems was that Andrew was also leaking defense and
- 40:29Speaker 15: military secrets. That's now been hinted at by officials in Whitehall.
- 40:34Speaker 15: It's certainly what I found in my research and couldn't
- 40:36Speaker 15: put in for all sorts of legal reasons. And in fact,
- 40:39Speaker 15: I've now got access to various reports, this is one
- 40:43Speaker 15: of them here from American intelligence showing that he was
- 40:49Speaker 15: had been basically subdumed by by Russian intelligence. So this
- 40:54Speaker 15: story is getting bigger and bigger, and I'm afraid Andrew
- 40:56Speaker 15: is getting into deeper and deeper waters.
- 41:00Speaker 1: Russian intelligence.
- 41:01Speaker 2: Now goly, gosh, well, you know there were there already
- 41:04Speaker 2: been hints that suggestions that Jeffrey Epstein was being funded
- 41:10Speaker 2: by in some way used by Russia as well.
- 41:14Speaker 1: So goodness knows where this is going to go.
- 41:17Speaker 2: How much more apart from that, do you think it's
- 41:20Speaker 2: going to be used against it? Because your book has
- 41:23Speaker 2: countless examples about Bada Windsor using his position as a
- 41:27Speaker 2: trade envoy in particular for Britain, taxpayer funded and a
- 41:31Speaker 2: royal to make money. Apart from the Russian angle, apart
- 41:35Speaker 2: from the defense secrets, what else do you expect?
- 41:40Speaker 15: Yes, well, I mean I think you know these leagues
- 41:41Speaker 15: and the things that I found, and there's a lot
- 41:43Speaker 15: of mature I can now put in which was taken
- 41:45Speaker 15: out for legal reasons or because people didn't believe it.
- 41:48Speaker 15: But he was shoehorning in meetings for some of his
- 41:51Speaker 15: business associates, asking ambassadors to fix these meetings. He was
- 41:56Speaker 15: bringing people, including his daughters. Jeffrey Epstein. Another's point mine
- 42:01Speaker 15: he had called David Stern, who was inserted into his entourage,
- 42:04Speaker 15: all doing business really on his behalf. He was even
- 42:09Speaker 15: basically yeah, he was in a whole series of things
- 42:15Speaker 15: which were really about lining his own pockets rather than
- 42:17Speaker 15: actually supporting British trade efforts, including in places like Afghanistan,
- 42:23Speaker 15: where of course British troops that had died and only
- 42:26Speaker 15: very recently.
- 42:29Speaker 1: And Kazakhstan as well. For some reason.
- 42:32Speaker 2: Now in your book, you devote some time to his
- 42:36Speaker 2: ex wife, Sarah Ferguson, and I just wonder whether she's
- 42:40Speaker 2: in danger as a world class grifter as well, because
- 42:43Speaker 2: the emails of Jeffrey Epstein show her acting absolutely appallingly
- 42:47Speaker 2: and not just something, you know, the sensational stuff, helping
- 42:50Speaker 2: his set up meetings between that pedophile and her own
- 42:53Speaker 2: god daughter for Heaven's sake, and also her own daughters,
- 42:57Speaker 2: and telling Epstein of another woman that you may marry
- 42:59Speaker 2: her two she's single, she has a great body. Okay,
- 43:03Speaker 2: we'll marry me and then we'll employ her. But then
- 43:06Speaker 2: again there's the financial links, with one email from Epstein
- 43:10Speaker 2: saying he's supported her financially for fifteen years. Andrew, what
- 43:15Speaker 2: did she do for him in return?
- 43:18Speaker 15: Well, Sarah Ferguson gave Epstein the sort of entree into
- 43:22Speaker 15: Andrew and into the royal family. But who knows. I mean,
- 43:26Speaker 15: there's still a lot more to come out. But you're
- 43:27Speaker 15: absolutely right, Sarah, Ferguson is a material witness to the
- 43:31Speaker 15: sex trafficking, to what was going on in Epstein's home.
- 43:34Speaker 15: She was often a regular visitor there and she should
- 43:37Speaker 15: certainly be testifying to the Senate. But there's also HMRC
- 43:41Speaker 15: Her Majesty's revenue Customs should be looking at her the
- 43:44Speaker 15: company's act. I think she broke the charitable laws that
- 43:48Speaker 15: are charitable things that she brought, broke running her charities.
- 43:52Speaker 15: So I think she's definitely worth investigation as well, and
- 43:55Speaker 15: she should certainly be questioned about the misconduct and public
- 43:59Speaker 15: office as his daughters who accompanied him on many of
- 44:02Speaker 15: these trips and used these trips to like to basically
- 44:05Speaker 15: get contacts which are now exploiting themselves.
- 44:10Speaker 1: Oh, just gets worse and worse. Where is Sarah Ferguson now?
- 44:14Speaker 1: Do you know?
- 44:14Speaker 2: Because I've read reports that she's in the United Arab
- 44:17Speaker 2: Emirates and broke. I've also read reports that she spent
- 44:21Speaker 2: a month at a luxury Swiss resort that costs twenty
- 44:24Speaker 2: five thousand dollars a day, and it's a resort that
- 44:28Speaker 2: she has promoted before.
- 44:29Speaker 14: Here she is to thank you in deep gratitude for
- 44:33Speaker 14: giving me a safe Harbor in the storms of life.
- 44:38Speaker 15: He often get these trips for free. He could I
- 44:40Speaker 15: think Sarah do that? Well, people are mad. People were
- 44:45Speaker 15: upgrading her, giving her free free vis I mean until
- 44:48Speaker 15: pretty recently, and in some ways you think that the
- 44:51Speaker 15: SPA has got an enormous amount of publicity because of
- 44:54Speaker 15: her visit there. So I mean there's probably some method
- 44:57Speaker 15: in their madness. But yeah, she's in the Middle East.
- 45:00Speaker 15: It's the one place where she still carries some sort
- 45:02Speaker 15: of respect, and she's busy trying to get money off
- 45:06Speaker 15: fires rulers there. Andrew. That was one of the problems
- 45:10Speaker 15: when Andrew was a trade end boy. He was trying
- 45:11Speaker 15: to sell his house and catch money off them.
- 45:16Speaker 1: How could they still have respect for her over there?
- 45:20Speaker 15: Well, I mean some of them don't have the greatest reputation.
- 45:24Speaker 15: One of their great friends MBS chops up journalists. So
- 45:27Speaker 15: Sarah fogus and a small beer compared to some of
- 45:29Speaker 15: these people.
- 45:33Speaker 1: Okay, but Nastley. What now for the royal family.
- 45:37Speaker 2: I mean, I think the king is done as well
- 45:40Speaker 2: as could be expected in divorcing himself, kicking from his brother,
- 45:46Speaker 2: kicking me out of that royal lodge, saying the law
- 45:50Speaker 2: must take its course. We've seen also Prince William giving
- 45:54Speaker 2: the absolute coldness of cold shoulders to his uncle. Hell
- 46:00Speaker 2: much of this stink is going to surround the Royal
- 46:03Speaker 2: family or do you think people will say, Look, every
- 46:06Speaker 2: family has got one of them, and fortunately the Royals
- 46:09Speaker 2: do as well.
- 46:11Speaker 1: Well.
- 46:12Speaker 15: I think the problem for the Royal family is that
- 46:13Speaker 15: they've known about the Andrew problem for years. They actually
- 46:16Speaker 15: shut it down. I mean people were complaining to the
- 46:20Speaker 15: Palace about Andrew's behavior, I mean former heads of the
- 46:23Speaker 15: Foreign Office, intelligence officers bringing them details of bribes, etc.
- 46:28Speaker 15: And they did nothing. They tried to close the story down.
- 46:30Speaker 15: There were legal threats and denials, all sorts of things
- 46:34Speaker 15: were done. Pressure was put on people saying they wouldn't
- 46:36Speaker 15: give access to them the Royal family for interviews. So
- 46:39Speaker 15: it's now been shown that the King was warned about
- 46:42Speaker 15: his brother six years ago and did nothing. And I
- 46:46Speaker 15: think they clearly didn't expect the Epstein dump of material
- 46:49Speaker 15: which has kind of caught them. But I think there
- 46:51Speaker 15: are increasing calls that Charles is compromised by this scandal
- 46:56Speaker 15: that hit. The only way out is for him to
- 46:58Speaker 15: abdicate and to pass it on to William, who is
- 47:02Speaker 15: so far been seen to be completely clean and has
- 47:04Speaker 15: been pushing for Andrew to be dealt with for years.
- 47:07Speaker 15: So this crisis is actually getting bigger and clearly there's
- 47:11Speaker 15: a big attempt at the moment to save the king.
- 47:14Speaker 15: But even very respected commentators like David Dimbleby here who
- 47:20Speaker 15: commentated on Royal occasions, is very critical about the royal family.
- 47:23Speaker 15: They certainly need to, I think, introduce more transparency and
- 47:29Speaker 15: accountability if they are to survive.
- 47:34Speaker 1: That is fascinating.
- 47:37Speaker 2: What do you think the king's motive was loyalty to
- 47:40Speaker 2: his brother or attempt to minimize damage to the royalty.
- 47:46Speaker 15: I think it was the latter. I mean, I mean
- 47:48Speaker 15: there have been lots and lots of scandals which have
- 47:50Speaker 15: been hidden over the years and never come out, and
- 47:53Speaker 15: that seems to be their preferred way of operating. If
- 47:56Speaker 15: they can shut something down, then that's what they'll do.
- 48:00Speaker 15: But unfortunately they've been caught out because of these Epstein leaks.
- 48:04Speaker 15: I think without them they would have been fine. I mean,
- 48:06Speaker 15: no one was calling for investigations after my book came
- 48:09Speaker 15: out in August or Orwin Virginia, but Jeffrey's book came
- 48:11Speaker 15: out later and we have had a steady drip feed
- 48:16Speaker 15: of pretty awful allegations against andro Action now for fifteen
- 48:20Speaker 15: years in the press. So this isn't new. And I
- 48:24Speaker 15: think this is a crisis of their own making. If
- 48:26Speaker 15: they'd actually addressed they could have marginalized much much earlier.
- 48:31Speaker 15: Also that there actually were until the seventy inventing.
- 48:36Speaker 1: You did warn, You did warn.
- 48:38Speaker 2: And I advised people to urge people to read your book,
- 48:41Speaker 2: The Horizon Fall in the House of York. Thank you
- 48:43Speaker 2: so much for your generous time. Appreciate it.
- 48:46Speaker 1: That's it for me, coming up now, Sherry Maxon. Good Night,
