- 0:11Speaker 1: It is the report.
- 0:15Speaker 2: I couldn't believe that I was watching today, the government
- 0:19Speaker 2: now in free fall chaos, no leadership, ministers pushing spears,
- 0:23Speaker 2: saying any crazy thing to deflect from more bad economic news.
- 0:29Speaker 2: But I think what should really be terrifying labor MPs
- 0:32Speaker 2: is that they are now having to defend a prime
- 0:34Speaker 2: minister who's lost it. It's so bad that Anthony Albernez
- 0:38Speaker 2: he went missing today, I assume to avoid being questioned
- 0:41Speaker 2: over what's now clearly a lie or wild pro China
- 0:44Speaker 2: spin this completely false claim that he made last Friday
- 0:47Speaker 2: that no warries. China had warned us in advance that
- 0:52Speaker 2: it's three warships off New South Wales would hold a
- 0:55Speaker 2: live fire exercise that day right under a busy flight path,
- 0:59Speaker 2: forcing forty nine planes to take evasive action.
- 1:03Speaker 3: China issued, in accordance with practice, an alert that it
- 1:07Speaker 3: would be conducting these activities.
- 1:18Speaker 2: Now that we now know was completely false. The head
- 1:21Speaker 2: of our Armed Forces confirmed that in the Senate hearing
- 1:24Speaker 2: yesterday China gave no warning at all, and the first
- 1:28Speaker 2: that our Navy heard about this live fire business was
- 1:32Speaker 2: a Virgin pilot forty minutes after it actually started.
- 1:37Speaker 4: Is it the case that defense was only notified via
- 1:41Speaker 4: Virgin and Air Services Australia twenty eight minutes after the
- 1:46Speaker 4: firing window commenced.
- 1:48Speaker 2: Yes, now it beggars belief that the Prime Minister could
- 1:53Speaker 2: have said something so false, and maybe that is why
- 1:56Speaker 2: he didn't front the mainstream media today.
- 1:58Speaker 5: I think it soft radio interview, which meant that.
- 2:03Speaker 2: Other senior ministers had to step in and spin for him,
- 2:06Speaker 2: like poor Defense Minister Richard Miles, who had didn't know
- 2:09Speaker 2: the bleeding obvious?
- 2:11Speaker 6: Did the PM mislead the Australian public by saying we
- 2:16Speaker 6: received notification of the Chinese warships when there was no
- 2:21Speaker 6: heads up given prior to those live fire exercises.
- 2:29Speaker 1: Well, we need to be careful here.
- 2:30Speaker 7: I mean the answer your question is no, the Prime
- 2:32Speaker 7: Minister did nothing of the kind. When the Prime Minister
- 2:36Speaker 7: made clear that there was a notification from the Chinese,
- 2:39Speaker 7: but in the same breath made clear that that notification
- 2:42Speaker 7: was inadequate.
- 2:45Speaker 1: Jeez.
- 2:46Speaker 2: Foreign Minister Petty Wong also had to cover up for Albanezu, who,
- 2:50Speaker 2: let me remind you, is supposed to be leading Labor
- 2:53Speaker 2: into an election any day now.
- 2:55Speaker 1: So we were.
- 2:56Speaker 8: Provided defense lines both statements are correct.
- 3:00Speaker 4: Is not the same thing to say we receive notice
- 3:04Speaker 4: and there was no advanced notice provided, which is what
- 3:07Speaker 4: you have said compared to what the Prime Minister has said.
- 3:10Speaker 8: So it is correct that TIMA gave notice. We have
- 3:13Speaker 8: issues with the timeframe around that and the channel and
- 3:19Speaker 8: we have expressed that to them.
- 3:21Speaker 4: How did they give notice if we only learned the
- 3:24Speaker 4: exercises after they had commenced.
- 3:27Speaker 2: Well, we never answered that, all of which let the
- 3:29Speaker 2: Opposition leader today claim that the Prime Minister had misled Australians.
- 3:34Speaker 9: Well and that he's misled the Australian people. This is
- 3:37Speaker 9: a very serious claim to be made against a prime minister,
- 3:40Speaker 9: but he is at odds with the sworn testimony of
- 3:43Speaker 9: the Chief of the Defense Force.
- 3:46Speaker 5: Now.
- 3:46Speaker 2: Adding to the government's misery. Today was another sign that
- 3:48Speaker 2: inflation is not beaten. It's still hurting Australians. The Health
- 3:52Speaker 2: Minister had to approve acclaim by private health insurers to
- 3:56Speaker 2: lift premiums by an average of three point seven percent,
- 4:00Speaker 2: which they blamed on inflation under this government.
- 4:04Speaker 10: This was an extremely tough decision for the health insurance
- 4:08Speaker 10: funds and their federal regulators to make. What the increase
- 4:13Speaker 10: is being driven by is inflation. Health sector inflation is
- 4:17Speaker 10: running at four percent, which is actually higher than the increase,
- 4:20Speaker 10: and there was an eight percent increase in payments to
- 4:23Speaker 10: hospitals last year by the health insurance funds. So this
- 4:28Speaker 10: is as low as we can go and still be
- 4:31Speaker 10: able to pay our hospitals properly.
- 4:34Speaker 2: Now, if you want to know how all this bill
- 4:36Speaker 2: shock is hurting people, you just needed to see a
- 4:39Speaker 2: clinic in Liverpool today Independent MP dailies and.
- 4:42Speaker 5: You will bring your bill.
- 4:44Speaker 2: Day where people struggling to keep up payments get expert help.
- 4:49Speaker 11: There is a you know, the opportunity to come around
- 4:52Speaker 11: and they talk to someone and maybe they can help
- 4:55Speaker 11: with our advice.
- 4:57Speaker 1: I were to go to.
- 4:58Speaker 12: Everything isn't out of cost, so it's very hard to
- 5:02Speaker 12: like rent food for study things.
- 5:08Speaker 13: I'm in trouble, financial trouble, so I hope that I
- 5:14Speaker 13: got some help.
- 5:15Speaker 10: I crossed my finger.
- 5:17Speaker 14: Who's standing up for us? So I believe Missley is
- 5:20Speaker 14: doing the right thing and I wish her to keep
- 5:23Speaker 14: fighting for the voiceless and the helpless.
- 5:27Speaker 2: So what could the government say to all this, Well,
- 5:33Speaker 2: one that the premiums went up even more in Peter
- 5:36Speaker 2: Dutman's health minister. More than eleven years ago. Treasurer Jim
- 5:41Speaker 2: Charmers went even crazier made an even wilder claim to
- 5:46Speaker 2: deflect attention from the health insurance premiums. Get this, He
- 5:49Speaker 2: actually claimed that this evil Peter Dutton would slash health
- 5:54Speaker 2: spending to pay for his promise nuclear reactors. Even though
- 5:58Speaker 2: Dutton last weekend promises in an extra nine billion dollars
- 6:02Speaker 2: on free doctors' visits, more than even labor. It really
- 6:05Speaker 2: was that stupid. He will cut medicare to pay for
- 6:09Speaker 2: nuclear reactors.
- 6:10Speaker 15: There is no way for him to find a six
- 6:12Speaker 15: hundred billion he needs for his nuclear reactors without coming
- 6:16Speaker 15: after medicare.
- 6:18Speaker 2: Our Charmers was either treating of fools or is one himself.
- 6:21Speaker 5: Maybe just this panicking.
- 6:23Speaker 2: He really thinks that the Liberals promise of seven nuclear
- 6:26Speaker 2: reactors are going to cost US six hundred billion dollars.
- 6:32Speaker 5: What is that about?
- 6:34Speaker 2: Eighty six billion dollars per reactor? Eighty six billion per reactor.
- 6:40Speaker 2: Now you compare the Coalition this year actually checked with
- 6:44Speaker 2: the South Korean company that's going around the world building
- 6:47Speaker 2: these things nuclear reactors and wants to build some here.
- 6:50Speaker 2: That company had just finished building four reactors for the
- 6:54Speaker 2: UAE cost not eighty six billion dollars each but just eight.
- 7:03Speaker 2: Now it's building two more reactors from the check for
- 7:05Speaker 2: the Czech Republic, and the costs there again it's not
- 7:08Speaker 2: eighty six billion dollars each but thirteen one three billion.
- 7:15Speaker 2: What are the Albaneza government's renewable energy schemes costing us?
- 7:18Speaker 2: By the way, the screen hudred and miragas that are
- 7:21Speaker 2: falling over all over the shop.
- 7:22Speaker 5: Meanwhile, you know we're left with not enough power. Genius
- 7:26Speaker 5: move guys.
- 7:28Speaker 2: So as Rome burned, what's the Prime Minister actually been
- 7:34Speaker 2: fiddling with? And now we know he and his staff
- 7:39Speaker 2: have been busy planting dirt on Dutton in the media,
- 7:44Speaker 2: like this story that Dutton bought bunk shares sixteen years ago,
- 7:47Speaker 2: the day before the Rudd Labor government bailed out the banks.
- 7:50Speaker 2: And last night Labor MP Andrew Charlton actually admitted Albanezi's
- 7:54Speaker 2: fingers that those of him and his staff were all
- 7:59Speaker 2: over that dirt.
- 8:00Speaker 16: While I learned it when I saw the information that
- 8:04Speaker 16: had come out that had come out in relation to
- 8:07Speaker 16: his register of interest. You mean this week, no before
- 8:10Speaker 16: this week, I was made aware of it by whom
- 8:12Speaker 16: by the Prime Minister's office who had been looking at it.
- 8:17Speaker 2: Yeah to ALBANIZI yesterday pretended to be above all this
- 8:21Speaker 2: grub in as his hands were clean.
- 8:25Speaker 3: I make no comment about Peter Dutton's matters. That's the
- 8:31Speaker 3: matter for him.
- 8:34Speaker 2: So that's what your Prime minister is doing. As China
- 8:37Speaker 2: far as its guns, the economy tanks, Australians begged for
- 8:40Speaker 2: help with their bills, don't bother him. He is actually
- 8:44Speaker 2: busy digging for dirt. Look, I don't know how Labour
- 8:49Speaker 2: can afford to have alban Easy lead them into another
- 8:52Speaker 2: election when he's in this shape. And I bet today
- 8:55Speaker 2: is a day when Labor and Peace must have been
- 8:58Speaker 2: looking and thinking. Now we're now seeing week after week
- 9:08Speaker 2: the disastrous price of having lost our minds to the
- 9:13Speaker 2: global warming cult. Today, I mean this is just today
- 9:17Speaker 2: we had another warning that Victorians now will pay an
- 9:21Speaker 2: extra twenty two billion dollars to switch from using gas
- 9:26Speaker 2: to electricity because they'd be using their heaters and cookers
- 9:29Speaker 2: just when there's less wind and sun. Billion dollars a
- 9:34Speaker 2: year to do this. Now, how nuts is that policy
- 9:37Speaker 2: of getting rid of gas anyway? With Victoria is already
- 9:40Speaker 2: so short of electricity, especially after blowing up its giant
- 9:44Speaker 2: Hazeld coal fired POWERstation. But it's not just politicians who've
- 9:49Speaker 2: gone nuts with global warming. So did b P, which
- 9:54Speaker 2: only happens to the BEE, one of the biggest oil
- 9:57Speaker 2: and gas companies in the world, and boys sorry now
- 10:01Speaker 2: that it got too embarrassed to be producing the fossil
- 10:05Speaker 2: fuels or give us cheap energy. Twenty years ago it
- 10:10Speaker 2: actually decided was so embarrassed to claim that BP no
- 10:14Speaker 2: longer stood for British petroleum petroleum dirty word beyond petroleum,
- 10:21Speaker 2: that's what it stood for, like you know, green energy
- 10:24Speaker 2: as well, and it even it adds back then twenty
- 10:27Speaker 2: years ago, likened this lift in its image, going green
- 10:32Speaker 2: to getting breast in plants.
- 10:36Speaker 17: Beyond pen giant effort reward winter summer, beyond dugness late
- 10:47Speaker 17: beyond petroleum.
- 10:48Speaker 1: BP.
- 10:50Speaker 2: Well, twenty years on a BP said enough, we surrender
- 10:54Speaker 2: enough of this nonsense. It's not making us enough money.
- 10:57Speaker 2: So it's ditched its plan to get twenty times more
- 10:59Speaker 2: renewal energy slash spending on green schemes and said it
- 11:03Speaker 2: would invest them more in getting gas and.
- 11:05Speaker 18: Oil and the piece of transition and decarbonization all important
- 11:11Speaker 18: was not as fast as envisioned, and energy demand continues
- 11:15Speaker 18: to rise. Our optimism for a fast transition was misplaced
- 11:20Speaker 18: and we went too far too fast.
- 11:25Speaker 2: I'll talk about that a little later with Bannaby Joyce,
- 11:29Speaker 2: but first I want to talk to Ron Dean about
- 11:33Speaker 2: something I don't believe all these haters who are now
- 11:37Speaker 2: going around screaming Donald Trump has sided with Vladimir Putin
- 11:41Speaker 2: and sold out Ukraine.
- 11:42Speaker 5: People like Malcolm Turnbull.
- 11:45Speaker 13: We have the you know, the shocking, appalling, but I
- 11:48Speaker 13: regret to say somewhat predictable and predicted situation where the
- 11:53Speaker 13: president of the United States is siding with a Russian dictator,
- 11:59Speaker 13: a murderer dictator who has invaded a sovereign democracy, Ukraine.
- 12:08Speaker 2: Now I don't think that's true, or at least not yet.
- 12:11Speaker 2: In fact, there are now signs that Trump may instead
- 12:14Speaker 2: give Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, a nasty surprise, forcing
- 12:18Speaker 2: a peace deal on him that at least protects Ukraine
- 12:21Speaker 2: from another Russian war for the rest to get the
- 12:25Speaker 2: rest of the country that it hasn't got yet in
- 12:27Speaker 2: two attempts at snaffling it.
- 12:29Speaker 5: Now it's true.
- 12:30Speaker 2: I was shocked last week when Donald Trump claimed the
- 12:35Speaker 2: Ukrainian president Vladimir Zelenski had started this war with Russia,
- 12:40Speaker 2: that he was a dictator who'd ripped off Americans. These
- 12:44Speaker 2: were absolute lies, damaging lies. Trump even demanded Zelensky hand
- 12:49Speaker 2: over half of Ukraine's future earnings from his country's critical
- 12:53Speaker 2: minerals and ports to repay American support. Trump was actually
- 12:56Speaker 2: talking about looting half a trillion dollars from Ukraine. But
- 13:01Speaker 2: as I suggested at the time, and I think this
- 13:03Speaker 2: is even more true now, could have been just typical Trump,
- 13:07Speaker 2: negotiating bluster, terrifying everyone with his unpredictability and forcing them
- 13:13Speaker 2: to tiptoe around him, offer him deals or whatever, that
- 13:16Speaker 2: kind of deals he loves and can boast about. And
- 13:19Speaker 2: I now see some good signs since Trump's rant against Selenski,
- 13:24Speaker 2: and it could actually turn out well, including for Ukraine,
- 13:28Speaker 2: even if it must give up hopes of taking back
- 13:30Speaker 2: all the country that Russia has so far invaded, which
- 13:33Speaker 2: is a bit of a pill to swallow. I know that,
- 13:36Speaker 2: for one. Trump has since admitted on Fox Radio that
- 13:39Speaker 2: actually was Vladimir Putin who started this war, getting Trump
- 13:43Speaker 2: to admit error, you know, is amazing, very rare. So
- 13:46Speaker 2: it's a big signal when he does.
- 13:49Speaker 19: Every time I say, oh, it's not Russia's fault, I
- 13:53Speaker 19: always get slammed by the fake news. But I'm telling you,
- 13:57Speaker 19: Maiden said the wrong things. Zelenski's the wrong things. They
- 14:01Speaker 19: got attacked by somebody that's much bigger and much stronger,
- 14:05Speaker 19: which is a bad thing to do, and you don't
- 14:08Speaker 19: do that. But Russia could have been talked out of
- 14:12Speaker 19: that so easily. That should never have been a war.
- 14:17Speaker 2: Second, Trump has also reportedly dropped key demands in its
- 14:21Speaker 2: proposed deal over Ukraine's resources. They would have forced Ukraine
- 14:25Speaker 2: handed hundreds of billions of dollars, according to reports. Now
- 14:29Speaker 2: the money is now we know, going to go into
- 14:31Speaker 2: a development fund for Ukraine. But it will give America
- 14:34Speaker 2: access to develop Ukraine's huge deposits of rare earths close
- 14:38Speaker 2: to its border with Russia. And a preliminary deal could
- 14:42Speaker 2: now be signed in days. And Trump was boasting about
- 14:45Speaker 2: it all today.
- 14:47Speaker 1: The president'sal Lindsey's coming to sign the deal and it's
- 14:50Speaker 1: a great thing.
- 14:51Speaker 19: It's a great deal for Ukraine too, because they get
- 14:53Speaker 19: us over there and we're going to be working over there,
- 14:54Speaker 19: we'll be on the land, and you know, in that way,
- 14:57Speaker 19: it's they're sort of automatic security because nobody's going to
- 14:59Speaker 19: be messing around.
- 15:00Speaker 5: With other people.
- 15:02Speaker 2: In fact, Zelenski might even be grateful to Trump for
- 15:06Speaker 2: now scaring European leaders into promising more support themselves for Ukraine.
- 15:10Speaker 2: Instead are freeloading off the US, which has been one
- 15:13Speaker 2: of Trump's big beefs from the start.
- 15:17Speaker 19: Europe is it one hundred, We're at three hundred.
- 15:20Speaker 5: We think it has to equalize.
- 15:23Speaker 2: Britain and France are even talking about sending their peacekeepers
- 15:26Speaker 2: into Ukraine to guarantee its security from Russia if there
- 15:29Speaker 2: is a piece deal, and that's something that Trump again backs,
- 15:33Speaker 2: even though Russia publicly does not.
- 15:36Speaker 19: I've specifically asked him that question.
- 15:39Speaker 1: Here's no problem with him.
- 15:41Speaker 2: Okay, put it all together. What you see is Trump
- 15:44Speaker 2: getting a better deal from Ukraine, better support from Europe.
- 15:47Speaker 2: And now that heat is on Putin, whose economy really
- 15:50Speaker 2: is in deep trouble to cease. Far as Zelenski has
- 15:55Speaker 2: been seen to bow to Trump, Trump will now want
- 15:58Speaker 2: Putin to do the same. Now, I know, no one
- 16:01Speaker 2: can actually predict what he will do. That's part of
- 16:04Speaker 2: his secret power, the unpredictability. But do not assume is
- 16:08Speaker 2: given up on Ukraine at all.
- 16:11Speaker 5: Not yet.
- 16:12Speaker 2: Joining me is Rowan, Deans and Chief of the Spectator's
- 16:15Speaker 2: Throwing hosts of Outsiders on Sky News every Sunday at
- 16:18Speaker 2: nine am. Now it's also host of his own show
- 16:20Speaker 2: on Fridays at seven pm. Rowan the Trump style seems
- 16:24Speaker 2: to be getting lots of criticisms and lots of results.
- 16:29Speaker 11: Yeah, it's getting lots of criticisms from normal teds Trump
- 16:32Speaker 11: derangement syndrome folk who still can't get over the fact
- 16:35Speaker 11: that he was elected with such a landslide, that he
- 16:38Speaker 11: was elected with a clear mandate to clean up all
- 16:41Speaker 11: sorts of aspects of not only America but around the world.
- 16:44Speaker 11: From an American point of view, what we're seeing is
- 16:48Speaker 11: an amazing deal being done by an amazing deal maker. Now,
- 16:53Speaker 11: everybody's known for decades that Donald Trump is a great
- 16:56Speaker 11: deal maker. He wrote a book about it, and a
- 17:00Speaker 11: time and time again in his own business dealings. He
- 17:03Speaker 11: thinks outside the box, to use that horrible phrase. And
- 17:07Speaker 11: what we're seeing is an amazing being put together. And
- 17:10Speaker 11: we're being privy to actually seeing and hearing some of
- 17:12Speaker 11: the details of that deal making process. Now, I imagine
- 17:16Speaker 11: there are not many people who actually really get to
- 17:18Speaker 11: see behind the scenes of a New York real estate
- 17:21Speaker 11: property developer going in all guns blazing to get what
- 17:24Speaker 11: he wants.
- 17:25Speaker 1: But that's what we're seeing.
- 17:26Speaker 11: So Donald Trump has thrown up various bits of distractions
- 17:29Speaker 11: and flack. And also he's the key thing, Andrew. Donald
- 17:33Speaker 11: Trump is never.
- 17:34Speaker 1: Ever afraid to say the unsayable, so he puts it
- 17:37Speaker 1: out there.
- 17:37Speaker 11: He puts the ultimate position out there, as he has
- 17:41Speaker 11: done with Gaza. It's very similar. He puts the ultimate position.
- 17:44Speaker 11: Imagine if Gaza was a riviera with casinos and beaches.
- 17:48Speaker 11: People sit up and suddenly think again, he's done the
- 17:51Speaker 11: same thing, saying, well, maybe it wasn't entirely just Russia
- 17:54Speaker 11: who was to blame. Maybe there's a blame going back.
- 17:57Speaker 11: Now we could be here for hours discussing that. I
- 17:59Speaker 11: don't care about that. The point is Donald Trump is
- 18:01Speaker 11: saying we're going to start again, and we're going to
- 18:03Speaker 11: build not only security for Ukraine. Because I've said all
- 18:09Speaker 11: along the deal will be and I was saying said
- 18:11Speaker 11: the six months ago, Andrew, the deal will be putin
- 18:13Speaker 11: saves face. Ukraine does not join NATO, but Ukraine gets
- 18:18Speaker 11: some form of American security in the term of whatever
- 18:22Speaker 11: the deal might be. That is precisely what is going
- 18:24Speaker 11: to happen. Putin saves face. Yes, you're riety. Might be
- 18:29Speaker 11: a in a bit of shock when the deal actually
- 18:31Speaker 11: goes down, but he will come out of it having
- 18:33Speaker 11: saved face for his own people.
- 18:34Speaker 1: Zelenski gets the security.
- 18:37Speaker 11: Of having the American powerhouse, the American economy far more
- 18:41Speaker 11: valuable than the American military, the American economy, the future
- 18:46Speaker 11: prosperity of his nation tied into American capitalism. That's the
- 18:50Speaker 11: greatest security any nation can have. And there's a great
- 18:53Speaker 11: lesson there for us all Andrew. If we want to
- 18:56Speaker 11: be doing well in the new era, we have to
- 18:58Speaker 11: have something to offer to the Americans. We don't want
- 19:01Speaker 11: to be saying on the wrong side of the Americans.
- 19:03Speaker 11: We don't want to be going, oh, we're all about
- 19:06Speaker 11: climate change and that zero and we're all about censoring
- 19:08Speaker 11: free speech. No, no, no, no, no, the Liberal Party. I've got
- 19:11Speaker 11: to come into the next win the next election, and
- 19:13Speaker 11: come out of it on the other side offering to
- 19:15Speaker 11: the Americans to do deals, because we are now in
- 19:18Speaker 11: the century of the deal.
- 19:21Speaker 2: I have to say that I do care about whether
- 19:25Speaker 2: it's said that, you know, faults on both sides or whatever.
- 19:30Speaker 2: No Russia causes Russia invaded. Russia is evil. Here Vladimir
- 19:35Speaker 2: Putin laid it all out in an essay what was
- 19:38Speaker 2: it about four years ago? What his plans were, and
- 19:41Speaker 2: he wanted to remove Zelenski and the whole so called
- 19:45Speaker 2: Nazi regime that I want him to lose a lot
- 19:49Speaker 2: of face. But he's got to give something, be given
- 19:52Speaker 2: something in order to make a deal. I don't think
- 19:55Speaker 2: his people will forgive him for the price that is
- 19:57Speaker 2: paid for not much. But anyway, I mentioned the other example, Well,
- 20:03Speaker 2: I think he's an evil man. I think is our
- 20:07Speaker 2: eras Hitler what the misery is causes, not just there chesting,
- 20:12Speaker 2: in all a number of other places Georgia has invaded.
- 20:15Speaker 2: I think that man an assassin's bullet.
- 20:18Speaker 5: Would be too kind. Here's another example of the Trump
- 20:21Speaker 5: style you mentioned.
- 20:23Speaker 2: You mentioned is Donald Trump's playing for Gaza, which I
- 20:27Speaker 2: think is actually really been interesting in provoking people. But
- 20:33Speaker 2: now this shock and outrage and protests and snark that
- 20:37Speaker 2: you know always reposted an artificial intelligence video which is
- 20:40Speaker 2: actually maybe someone unconnected pro Israel using AI to imagine
- 20:46Speaker 2: Gaza under Trump's plan to bulldoz a lot and turning
- 20:49Speaker 2: Gaza into, as you said, a rivier on the Mediterranean.
- 20:52Speaker 2: Trump likes to look at this Gaza with Elon Musk
- 20:55Speaker 2: in it and Trump's statues and Trump himself have a look.
- 21:00Speaker 1: There's no more fear. Top gardens. Finally, sue t gars
- 21:04Speaker 1: are shining rights called the future. There's the top garden
- 21:10Speaker 1: number one.
- 21:14Speaker 2: You are shocked and appalled vision as many journalists claim
- 21:18Speaker 2: to be, because I would bet you rowan there are
- 21:19Speaker 2: a lot of Palestinians that think I wouldn't.
- 21:22Speaker 11: Mind living there, absolutely, and they could have been living
- 21:25Speaker 11: there under their own horse business, as if they hadn't
- 21:27Speaker 11: gone and put in her Masson hadn't been brainwashed by
- 21:32Speaker 11: the whole Palestinian Jew hatred. That is what Gaza could
- 21:37Speaker 11: look like. I'm in sure it's idealized version, but you know,
- 21:40Speaker 11: I'm an exad guy. You dress up the version the
- 21:44Speaker 11: Gaza could be again, And what's the common thread the
- 21:48Speaker 11: American economy Wall Street behind the success of Gaza In
- 21:52Speaker 11: this case, the Arab money behind the success of Gaza.
- 21:56Speaker 1: Now this is, as I say, this.
- 21:58Speaker 11: Is the new era we are in where economic power
- 22:01Speaker 11: is going to ultimately trump military power and everybody is
- 22:06Speaker 11: going to be looking for what they can offer to
- 22:08Speaker 11: get the best deal. And that's the future. And Australia
- 22:11Speaker 11: better wake up because we need to be part. We've
- 22:13Speaker 11: got so much to offer and yet we're destroying everything
- 22:16Speaker 11: that we have to offer.
- 22:17Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. But as to.
- 22:19Speaker 11: Gaza, that is the only solution, is that money pours
- 22:23Speaker 11: into that place and it becomes a beacon of capitalism.
- 22:28Speaker 1: That is the hope for places all around the world. Economy.
- 22:33Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we cannot if it is rebuilt to
- 22:37Speaker 2: be what it was before Hamas attacked in Israel and
- 22:42Speaker 2: killed twelve hundred Jews. If it's rebuilt to what it
- 22:46Speaker 2: was before, that will be a significant failure.
- 22:49Speaker 5: We cannot repeat.
- 22:50Speaker 11: No needs to be rebuilt to what it was before
- 22:54Speaker 11: two thousand and five, when it was given away stupidly,
- 22:57Speaker 11: when it had the all all the options are becoming
- 23:01Speaker 11: a beautiful place.
- 23:04Speaker 2: Rown Deine, thank you so much for your time. Before
- 23:09Speaker 2: I was talking with Rowan, I mentioned that it seemed
- 23:13Speaker 2: to me the green movement was in retreat, PP even admitting,
- 23:18Speaker 2: you know, trying to call itself beyond petroleum had being
- 23:21Speaker 2: a complete failure. Victorians told they were going to be
- 23:24Speaker 2: slugged twenty two billion dollars over twenty years extra by
- 23:29Speaker 2: turning off gas and going to electricity.
- 23:31Speaker 5: What a joke.
- 23:32Speaker 2: Joining me now is Barnaby Joyce, the National's former Nationals
- 23:38Speaker 2: Minister as front bencher and former Deputy Prime Minister. Barnaby
- 23:42Speaker 2: great to see you. Do you see much of a
- 23:45Speaker 2: rowback in Australia yet from this peak global warming hysteria
- 23:49Speaker 2: which I probably date to, you know, nineteen two thousand
- 23:54Speaker 2: and five to twenty and fifteen.
- 23:56Speaker 5: Do you see that run back? The US is getting
- 23:58Speaker 5: over it, but I don't think we are yet enough.
- 24:02Speaker 1: Well, the US is.
- 24:03Speaker 17: Over it, they're out of Paris, and I would say
- 24:07Speaker 17: that in.
- 24:08Speaker 15: Light of the circumstances we find ourselves immediately this week
- 24:12Speaker 15: where we have li fire exercises but total tearan regime
- 24:16Speaker 15: off in the ocean adjacent to Sydney.
- 24:19Speaker 1: And I think people have heard of that country down.
- 24:22Speaker 15: Sydney, probably with the Nuclear Submarinetact underneath it, somewhere that
- 24:26Speaker 15: we have to come as powerful as possible, as quickly
- 24:28Speaker 15: as possible. We have to realize what exactly this means
- 24:32Speaker 15: for Australia. They're not down there because they think the
- 24:35Speaker 15: Antarcticans are going to attack China tap by the Tasman Sea.
- 24:40Speaker 15: That's a statement to us, and then they certain navigate Australia.
- 24:44Speaker 5: On the way out.
- 24:45Speaker 15: So, if you think you're going to get powerful by
- 24:48Speaker 15: having intermittent power, intimated power, by very nature is not powerful,
- 24:53Speaker 15: and intimate power is solar in a mint of power
- 24:56Speaker 15: is wind, intimated power is batteries. You have to become
- 25:01Speaker 15: totally powerful, and so that would require based low power
- 25:05Speaker 15: and requires lots of it very quickly and soon, because
- 25:12Speaker 15: how's it going to actually work? Are going to deal
- 25:14Speaker 15: with things such as manufacturing anything, If something, if you.
- 25:19Speaker 20: Need a military mind of some sort, you've got to
- 25:22Speaker 20: be able to make it, and if it breaks, you
- 25:24Speaker 20: got to be able to fix it.
- 25:25Speaker 5: And you can't do that if you haven't.
- 25:27Speaker 1: Got a fotable power.
- 25:30Speaker 5: Well, I totally agree with you.
- 25:32Speaker 2: I think Donald Trump has made clear of what's always
- 25:36Speaker 2: been what should people should really realize, and so is
- 25:39Speaker 2: Russia and China that without power real military power, whatever
- 25:45Speaker 2: economic power. You are nobody you can complain, but the
- 25:49Speaker 2: big guys will trample over you if we don't, if
- 25:52Speaker 2: we make ourselves poorer with this.
- 25:53Speaker 5: Global warming nonsense. We're nowhere now.
- 25:56Speaker 2: Two these three year Chinese ships you mentioned there barnaby
- 25:59Speaker 2: A now circling Australia. I think they're about under South
- 26:02Speaker 2: Australia now, firing guns or whatever they.
- 26:05Speaker 5: Do they're doing.
- 26:07Speaker 2: The Prime Minister mislet us Anthony Albanizi said China additioned
- 26:11Speaker 2: a warning about the live fire exercises conducted right under
- 26:15Speaker 2: a busy flight path off New South Wales. In fact,
- 26:18Speaker 2: we now know China gave no warning at all. Albany
- 26:22Speaker 2: Uzi was wrong. Why is that point important?
- 26:25Speaker 15: Because it shows that the leader, the Prime Minister for Australia,
- 26:29Speaker 15: either is oblivious to the facts or misleading on the facts.
- 26:33Speaker 20: On either case, it shouldn't be the Prime minister. Just
- 26:37Speaker 20: think how ludicrous this is. We required a commercial debt
- 26:41Speaker 20: under the auspices of not the Air Force, but Virgin
- 26:45Speaker 20: Virgin was out there protecting.
- 26:47Speaker 15: Us and it tells us about the live fire exercises
- 26:50Speaker 15: and then we couldn't even get a naval ship in
- 26:52Speaker 15: there so help me.
- 26:54Speaker 5: We had to rely on New Zealand.
- 26:56Speaker 1: New Zealand had a naval ship there and then we've
- 26:59Speaker 1: got miss out.
- 27:00Speaker 20: He do this sort of swindles weasily type of we
- 27:06Speaker 20: all knew about it a round about, you.
- 27:08Speaker 1: Know, it was all known about at the same time,
- 27:09Speaker 1: what wasn't.
- 27:10Speaker 20: It's a fiasco and shows the most fundamental job you had,
- 27:14Speaker 20: the protection of our nation.
- 27:16Speaker 1: You are wanting ignorant or hopeless.
- 27:22Speaker 2: Yes, well you have to give the Prime minister cut
- 27:25Speaker 2: him some slack near Barnaby because he was busy dumping
- 27:29Speaker 2: dirt on Peter Dutton and I think that took priority.
- 27:32Speaker 2: Bannaby Joyce, thank you so much, indeed for your time.
- 27:36Speaker 2: After the break, we're going to give out the best
- 27:39Speaker 2: actor award for a politician pretending to be shocked. I'll
- 27:42Speaker 2: tell you the lucky winner of the Hypocrisy Cup. Is
- 27:49Speaker 2: there a reward for the best acting by a politician
- 27:53Speaker 2: pretending to be shocked shocked? Well, there is actually I
- 27:58Speaker 2: call it the Hypocrisy Cup. I've just invented it and
- 28:01Speaker 2: I'm going to give it right now to Labor MP
- 28:03Speaker 2: Andrew Charlton, who went on the ABC last night to
- 28:06Speaker 2: say how traumatized it had been appalled. When he was
- 28:10Speaker 2: working for the then Prime Minister Kevin Rudd to find
- 28:14Speaker 2: a Liberal front bencher, Peter Dutton had.
- 28:16Speaker 5: Bought shares in banks. Have you ever heard anything so terrible?
- 28:21Speaker 5: He bought them just for those bank shares hit record lows.
- 28:24Speaker 2: So you might think, well, there's only one way for
- 28:26Speaker 2: them to go. And when there were rumors that the
- 28:28Speaker 2: Red government could bail them.
- 28:30Speaker 16: Out, my jaw fell to the floor. Why because I
- 28:36Speaker 16: was there. I was there at that time, and I
- 28:39Speaker 16: saw the Australian economy on fire. I saw the Australian
- 28:45Speaker 16: share market fall by more than sixty percent, destroying wealth
- 28:49Speaker 16: for millions of Australians. But what we now know is
- 28:53Speaker 16: that there was one political leader who was not focused
- 28:56Speaker 16: on the national interest. That political leader was focused on
- 29:00Speaker 16: his own financial interest. And he admitted that today.
- 29:05Speaker 5: Don't you love it? The grief, the horror, the disgust
- 29:08Speaker 5: that was there a tier there.
- 29:10Speaker 2: I think you should try hard to get it to
- 29:12Speaker 2: you from a blocus himself, a multi multi millionaire with
- 29:16Speaker 2: lots of share trades himself and trusts and what have
- 29:20Speaker 2: you and what do you expect darting to do he
- 29:22Speaker 2: was in opposition, but.
- 29:24Speaker 5: What was he supposed to do? Run around the street
- 29:26Speaker 5: going oh you poor?
- 29:27Speaker 19: What the heck?
- 29:28Speaker 5: I mean? But look again at Charton's sad face.
- 29:33Speaker 2: As a government politician tries to pedal baseless dirt put
- 29:37Speaker 2: together by his Prime minister. Sixteen years later, and.
- 29:41Speaker 16: When I saw that somebody had been trading Australian bank
- 29:45Speaker 16: shares during a banking crisis, as I said to you,
- 29:50Speaker 16: I was shocked.
- 29:53Speaker 2: It's coolie, Chris Kenny had said earlier today. Trading bank
- 29:57Speaker 2: shares on that day that Dutton bought them was double
- 30:00Speaker 2: that of a week before because lots of strange thought
- 30:03Speaker 2: these shares were going to go up, and there had
- 30:04Speaker 2: been rumors of more aid for the banks have been
- 30:07Speaker 2: getting a lot. I mean, really, joining is the panel?
- 30:09Speaker 2: James mcpherston from the Late Debate here and sky News
- 30:12Speaker 2: an Evelyn Ray Farmer, former policewoman in sky News regular James.
- 30:17Speaker 2: All this week now, a labor's been trying to imply
- 30:19Speaker 2: that Peter Dutton is a crook or a shafter now
- 30:21Speaker 2: that is not patriotic, without actually giving one single bit
- 30:25Speaker 2: of evidence there's done anything wrong.
- 30:27Speaker 5: But is it working well.
- 30:31Speaker 21: Andrew, I didn't think the oscars were until later this week,
- 30:34Speaker 21: but that was an oscar winning for France by Andrew Charlton,
- 30:39Speaker 21: very strong contender. Peter Dutton bought shares sixteen years ago.
- 30:43Speaker 21: There are questions to be answered. What are the questions?
- 30:46Speaker 21: Why did he buy them? They're at a low price, Ah, yes,
- 30:49Speaker 21: but they're still I mean, this is ridiculous. They've trawled
- 30:52Speaker 21: through Peter Dutton's entire life and this is the worst
- 30:56Speaker 21: thing they have found, which is a complete nothing burger.
- 30:59Speaker 21: This is actually an endorsement of Peter Dutton. If you've
- 31:02Speaker 21: gone right through his life and this is the best
- 31:05Speaker 21: you've got, I'll tell you what, Peter Dutton is the
- 31:07Speaker 21: most squeaky clean politician in the country. But one more thing, Andrew.
- 31:12Speaker 21: Labor are so incompetent they can't even throw mud.
- 31:16Speaker 1: Well.
- 31:16Speaker 21: I mean, if you're going to pull this sort of stuff,
- 31:18Speaker 21: you do it right before the polls, hoping that it
- 31:21Speaker 21: might sway a few sort of undecided voters. But the
- 31:25Speaker 21: starter's gun have hasn't even sounded yet. By the time
- 31:29Speaker 21: we get to the polls, everybody has forgotten about this.
- 31:32Speaker 21: Labor are so bad they can't even throw mud properly, Evelyn.
- 31:39Speaker 2: I was just thinking then, the implication from what Andrew
- 31:44Speaker 2: Charlton was saying was that he's been brooding about this
- 31:49Speaker 2: wounded shocked for sixteen years. Why did Andrew Charlton say
- 31:53Speaker 2: something earlier.
- 31:56Speaker 12: Look to be honest, it looks like he's been rehearsing
- 31:58Speaker 12: this exact, you know, little dramatic display for about sixteen years.
- 32:02Speaker 8: He pulled it off that well.
- 32:05Speaker 12: But look, honestly like it's so ironic coming from this
- 32:09Speaker 12: particular politician who, as you mentioned, you know, has multimillion
- 32:13Speaker 12: dollar businesses and private financial.
- 32:16Speaker 1: Dealings going on.
- 32:16Speaker 12: It was only last year it was reported in real
- 32:19Speaker 12: estate dot Com they did this big feature on him
- 32:22Speaker 12: that he just bought a twelve million dollar beachside investment,
- 32:26Speaker 12: taking his portfolio up to somewhere near forty two million dollars.
- 32:30Speaker 12: And this guy has the nerve to question Dutton, who's
- 32:33Speaker 12: a single like homeowner, particular politician.
- 32:37Speaker 2: It's just a joke.
- 32:38Speaker 12: But it's all it is is smoking mirrors. It's just
- 32:41Speaker 12: the deflecting tactics because they just don't want the reality
- 32:44Speaker 12: to hit them, which is the fact that they've basically
- 32:46Speaker 12: run our country into the ground over the last few years.
- 32:50Speaker 12: But you know, I reckon if let's call their bluff
- 32:53Speaker 12: on all this. If they are serious and they genuinely
- 32:55Speaker 12: think Dutton is a crook and he has something to hide,
- 32:59Speaker 12: then how about every politician volunteer the last few decades
- 33:03Speaker 12: of their private financial dealings, because if they've got nothing
- 33:06Speaker 12: to hide, they really won't care and will know for
- 33:08Speaker 12: sure one way or another if they're genuine or they
- 33:11Speaker 12: are literally just doing this to smear Dutton and try
- 33:14Speaker 12: and pull something out of a hat to try and
- 33:16Speaker 12: save their dismal election campaign.
- 33:21Speaker 5: Now, Evelyn, I've got it correct.
- 33:23Speaker 2: You you must have made an error there, and you're
- 33:25Speaker 2: trying to tell me this guy who's virtually weeping on
- 33:29Speaker 2: TV about a share trade during the global financial crisis.
- 33:33Speaker 5: Actually you won't an Australians are doing it so tough.
- 33:37Speaker 2: People are lining up for help for their paying their bills,
- 33:40Speaker 2: people are having their businesses shut. He went and bought
- 33:45Speaker 2: himself a twelve million dollar beach house instead of helping
- 33:49Speaker 2: helping people.
- 33:50Speaker 5: Are you trying to tell me that? I mean, I'm shocked.
- 33:53Speaker 2: No, that's how I think. Now I can't pull it
- 33:56Speaker 2: off like he could, James. I just can't feign that
- 33:59Speaker 2: same hour rage. Maybe that's because I know these sucker,
- 34:02Speaker 2: these hypocrites of what they are. More shock and outrage though,
- 34:07Speaker 2: present Triple mm A sack presenter Mardy shear Goold for
- 34:11Speaker 2: saying that watching the Matilda's and national women's soccer team
- 34:14Speaker 2: was so boring that rather hammer and nail into his privates,
- 34:18Speaker 2: here's some of the cleaner version.
- 34:21Speaker 6: You know what they remind me of Year ten girls.
- 34:24Speaker 22: Now, I'm sorry to undermine the whole sport, but that's
- 34:26Speaker 22: what I think of it, So you can stick it
- 34:28Speaker 22: up your ass.
- 34:29Speaker 5: Now.
- 34:30Speaker 2: I had no idea, James, that not particularly liking watching
- 34:33Speaker 2: the Matilda's was actually blasphemy in this country.
- 34:36Speaker 5: Share Gold has been fired and the Prime.
- 34:39Speaker 2: Minister, the Victorian Premier and sports presenters have lined up
- 34:42Speaker 2: to express their horror at this, At this blasphemy have listened.
- 34:47Speaker 3: They were just shocking comments that anyone could think it,
- 34:51Speaker 3: let alone say it completely unacceptable.
- 34:55Speaker 14: And I'll say this women's sport is real sport and
- 34:59Speaker 14: also to women's pain is real pain and it doesn't
- 35:03Speaker 14: deserve that shabby treatment that we've seen this week.
- 35:06Speaker 5: Do you know what peeves me.
- 35:07Speaker 23: The most about this is the apology. So he made
- 35:10Speaker 23: an apology to the Matildas and the broader organization. I'm sorry,
- 35:14Speaker 23: but every kid that bought the sold out merchandise in
- 35:18Speaker 23: twenty twenty three, cheering on the Matildas, that went and
- 35:21Speaker 23: watched games, that watched the eleven million people that watched
- 35:24Speaker 23: on television, he needs to apologize to them because they're
- 35:28Speaker 23: part of this wave of growth and progression.
- 35:31Speaker 1: You said it beautifully.
- 35:35Speaker 2: Well canceled me now, James, because I do think they're
- 35:37Speaker 2: watching Matilda's is boring.
- 35:39Speaker 5: But what do you think?
- 35:40Speaker 21: Yeah, well, I think the Matildas will be protected under
- 35:43Speaker 21: the new hate speech laws that the government is moving Andrew,
- 35:46Speaker 21: I mean, there was more outrage over the comments of
- 35:49Speaker 21: a shot jock most of us have never heard of
- 35:52Speaker 21: criticizing the Matildas than there was about the captain of
- 35:55Speaker 21: the Matildas making racial comments about a police officer. In second,
- 36:01Speaker 21: this is all about disrespecting women's sport. Really, most of
- 36:05Speaker 21: these people are in favor of men identifying as women
- 36:08Speaker 21: playing in women's sports. So if you're a man who
- 36:11Speaker 21: criticized women's sport, you're disrespecting it. But if you're a
- 36:14Speaker 21: man who puts on address to play women's sport. Oh,
- 36:17Speaker 21: that's fine. The hypocrisy is just unbelievable.
- 36:20Speaker 1: And one more thing.
- 36:21Speaker 21: You showed the Victorian premiere. They're just into Ellen saying
- 36:24Speaker 21: women's sport is real sport. The progressive left always do this.
- 36:28Speaker 21: They accuse you of saying something you never said. The
- 36:31Speaker 21: radio announcer said that women's sport was boring, not that
- 36:35Speaker 21: it wasn't real, and I think many people would agree
- 36:38Speaker 21: with him. His choice of language left a lot to
- 36:40Speaker 21: be desired. But surely you're allowed to say you don't
- 36:43Speaker 21: enjoy women's sport.
- 36:44Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, James and first and Evan Ray, I'm sorry,
- 36:48Speaker 2: I'm going to have to cut this short with some
- 36:50Speaker 2: breaking news. I'm sorry, sorry, Thank you so much for
- 36:53Speaker 2: your time. But I normally don't do you know this
- 36:56Speaker 2: sort of thing. But Gene Hackman was actually a really,
- 37:00Speaker 2: really fine actor. But there's something more here. He was
- 37:05Speaker 2: ninety five, his wife Betsy Arakawa sixty three. They've been
- 37:10Speaker 2: found dead in the Santa Fe home, along with their dog.
- 37:13Speaker 2: All three dead, so I think you already know perhaps
- 37:16Speaker 2: the story. They've been married since ninety ninety one. Please
- 37:19Speaker 2: say no suspicious circumstances, So you think it's one of
- 37:24Speaker 2: those things. Last time we saw Gene Hackman in public
- 37:28Speaker 2: has been a reclusive quit acting since two thousand and four.
- 37:30Speaker 2: The stress was getting to him. Even though it was
- 37:32Speaker 2: such a brilliant actor, he looked shocking. So one believes
- 37:38Speaker 2: that the couple didn't want to go separately. And I
- 37:44Speaker 2: guess that's tragic in one sense. Maybe it's beautiful in another.
- 37:47Speaker 2: I don't know, but awful. All I can say is great,
- 37:53Speaker 2: great actor gone. And you know, be grateful for what
- 37:59Speaker 2: love you can find in the world. After the break,
- 38:03Speaker 2: they're looking after their mates, but not the kids. Victoria's
- 38:06Speaker 2: safe injecting room so unsafe that the government, the Victorian
- 38:09Speaker 2: government is actually moving public servants away from the area,
- 38:12Speaker 2: but it's leaving the school children next door.
- 38:18Speaker 5: It may seem a small thing, but.
- 38:19Speaker 2: One of the most infuriating things I read today was
- 38:22Speaker 2: this that anti Semitic incidents and abuse from injecting room
- 38:27Speaker 2: users towards staff of this of this taxpayer funder organization
- 38:33Speaker 2: Victoria and d Ambulance Casina Control Commission had forced them,
- 38:37Speaker 2: forced them to go to another office, force them out
- 38:41Speaker 2: of Richmond.
- 38:43Speaker 5: I mean can you believe it?
- 38:44Speaker 2: Apparently the staff here we have this commission is using
- 38:48Speaker 2: taxpayers money to move staff away from a taxpayer funded
- 38:53Speaker 2: injecting room because the junkies using it make them feel unsafe. Plus,
- 38:58Speaker 2: of course there's too many due hating posts as well.
- 39:00Speaker 2: Being a left wing suburb, what do you expect?
- 39:02Speaker 5: So they're off now.
- 39:06Speaker 2: The thing is right next to this same facility, this
- 39:10Speaker 2: drug injecting one is a government school plus a lot
- 39:14Speaker 2: of houses in the neighborhood of locals. None of them
- 39:19Speaker 2: get government help to move away.
- 39:21Speaker 5: They get stuck with this.
- 39:22Speaker 2: The local school gets stuck with being right nextor to
- 39:25Speaker 2: this ejecting place. The children have to put up with junkies,
- 39:28Speaker 2: but the public servants who can't cope with it, they
- 39:31Speaker 2: are allowed to leave for another suburb. This is another
- 39:35Speaker 2: example something that really gives you the pip governments using
- 39:38Speaker 2: tax pay money to fix the problems they themselves, of course,
- 39:42Speaker 2: with their crazy schemes, but fix them only for a
- 39:46Speaker 2: chosen few, like you know, fixing for a few the
- 39:48Speaker 2: higher power prices they cause for their green power, fixing
- 39:51Speaker 2: for the few. The traffic jams are storing house prices
- 39:54Speaker 2: they cost for everyone with mass immigration. Join me is
- 39:58Speaker 2: Brad Batton, Victoria's opposition leader, Brad Baton, thank you so
- 40:02Speaker 2: much for your time. The public servants get moved out
- 40:05Speaker 2: of this danger, but the local residents and the children
- 40:08Speaker 2: they don't.
- 40:09Speaker 5: What does that tell you?
- 40:12Speaker 22: That tells me this government doesn't care about the students
- 40:15Speaker 22: and cares more about their employment workforce. And I think
- 40:18Speaker 22: it's a really big risk to that school and the
- 40:20Speaker 22: government to come out now and say that they have
- 40:22Speaker 22: put measures in place. I think they've spent fourteen million
- 40:25Speaker 22: dollars on security measures. We said at the very start
- 40:28Speaker 22: they shouldn't have spent the fourteen million. They just should
- 40:30Speaker 22: not have located this center next to a school. And
- 40:33Speaker 22: the evidence is now in they're moving a government department.
- 40:38Speaker 2: Well exactly that forty million was so effective. Why I
- 40:41Speaker 2: move the authority?
- 40:43Speaker 5: There?
- 40:44Speaker 2: Isn't this an admission that these injecting rooms so often
- 40:48Speaker 2: get misnamed safe injecting rooms. There's another one in Sydney
- 40:53Speaker 2: as well. They're not safe at all, or at least
- 40:55Speaker 2: not for the government staff.
- 41:00Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 41:01Speaker 22: I think Andrew, you couldn't get it more right if
- 41:03Speaker 22: you've got government staff having to move because the amount
- 41:05Speaker 22: of complaints they've put in the issues around safety, and
- 41:09Speaker 22: I imagine there'd be work safe notices, there'd be a
- 41:12Speaker 22: whole range of reasons they've put forward they don't feel
- 41:15Speaker 22: safe walking to and from their workplace. Yet you actually say,
- 41:18Speaker 22: can we send a primary school student to walk past there?
- 41:23Speaker 22: And I know when I grew up and Andrew, I'm
- 41:25Speaker 22: sure it's the same for you. I would be encouraged
- 41:27Speaker 22: to walk to school by myself. It's a great way
- 41:30Speaker 22: to learn independence, not in prep but maybe in grade
- 41:32Speaker 22: five and six. They've created a community here where that's
- 41:35Speaker 22: just not safe, and it's been proven by sending the
- 41:38Speaker 22: government workforce away but saying it's okay for these kids
- 41:41Speaker 22: to walk there. It's a scary precedent and the government
- 41:44Speaker 22: needs to come out and explain to those schools why
- 41:47Speaker 22: they're ignoring the calls from the school community to not
- 41:50Speaker 22: relocate this facility and keep it away from their kids
- 41:53Speaker 22: so they can be safe whilst they go to and
- 41:55Speaker 22: from school.
- 41:57Speaker 5: What would you do about it?
- 42:01Speaker 22: We've said openly in relation to the injecting room, that
- 42:04Speaker 22: if you're going to have injecting rooms here in Victoria,
- 42:06Speaker 22: there needs to be in a health setting not currently
- 42:09Speaker 22: where they're putting them right next to schools. Whilst we've
- 42:12Speaker 22: said before what we want to do with the injecting rooms,
- 42:15Speaker 22: they're there now, the trial's been done, but you have
- 42:18Speaker 22: to have a health setting around it where people who
- 42:20Speaker 22: do go in to use these facilities can get the
- 42:22Speaker 22: other options to get them off the drugs. At the
- 42:25Speaker 22: end of the day, the focus should be how do
- 42:27Speaker 22: we reduce the use of drugs here in Victoria, not
- 42:30Speaker 22: how do we use a harm minimization method that gives
- 42:32Speaker 22: them the ability to do it legally. So I think
- 42:34Speaker 22: there needs to be some changes in how we approach
- 42:36Speaker 22: this going forward, and we'll have more to say on it.
- 42:38Speaker 22: We'll continue those discussions with not just organizations but internally
- 42:42Speaker 22: as well, and I know Emma Keeley is our shadow
- 42:45Speaker 22: Minister for mental Health and Georgie Crozier as our shadow
- 42:47Speaker 22: Minister for Health. We be working very closely with us
- 42:50Speaker 22: to ensure our policy going to the next election is
- 42:52Speaker 22: primary focus around community safety, particularly around those schools, because
- 42:56Speaker 22: it shouldn't be there.
- 42:57Speaker 1: That would be our priority.
- 43:00Speaker 2: One other thing, Brad Baton, what does it say about
- 43:04Speaker 2: Victoria that it is now often singled out as an
- 43:08Speaker 2: example to other states what not to do. I mean,
- 43:11Speaker 2: just today the Australian Energy producers pointed out the price
- 43:14Speaker 2: of Victoria's now paying for effectively banning new gas production
- 43:18Speaker 2: for nearly.
- 43:18Speaker 5: A decade and still banning fracking for gas.
- 43:22Speaker 24: He is, we need to get more gas into the
- 43:25Speaker 24: market faster. You know, there's no better example of this
- 43:29Speaker 24: if we look at Victoria where the shortfalls are concentrated.
- 43:32Speaker 24: You know, this is a state that has demonized gas,
- 43:36Speaker 24: that's banned exploration and development of its own gas resources.
- 43:40Speaker 24: It's been so effective in preventing gas investment that soon
- 43:45Speaker 24: Victorians are likely to be relying on more expensive imported
- 43:49Speaker 24: LNG to keep the lights on.
- 43:53Speaker 2: So, Brad Baton, you've got Victoria as being a basket case,
- 43:55Speaker 2: a laughing stock, a lesson to others what not to do?
- 43:58Speaker 2: What would you do to save Victoria from running out
- 44:01Speaker 2: of gas and electricity?
- 44:04Speaker 22: The highlight there was where the worse for budget, we're
- 44:07Speaker 22: the worse for crime, the worse for community safety. We're
- 44:10Speaker 22: not protecting kids at schools. And now it's gas as well,
- 44:13Speaker 22: and our energy supply going forward, we've already said we'll
- 44:16Speaker 22: ensure that we open up and have the exploratory licenses so.
- 44:19Speaker 1: We can find that gas and get it into market.
- 44:22Speaker 22: My biggest concern is because this government is delaying it
- 44:25Speaker 22: for so long that there may end up a gap
- 44:27Speaker 22: in the market of being able to find the gas
- 44:30Speaker 22: and then getting the technology in place to get it
- 44:32Speaker 22: into market. So we're saying to the government you should
- 44:35Speaker 22: be acting on it now. However, if they don't, we will.
- 44:38Speaker 22: And if we're elected in November next year, I assure
- 44:41Speaker 22: every person in Victoria you'll have a clear difference between
- 44:43Speaker 22: a labor government trying to stop you using gas supply
- 44:46Speaker 22: at home and a liberal government who will be very
- 44:48Speaker 22: focused in ensuring we're protecting that gas supply not just
- 44:51Speaker 22: for you, but also for the businesses and to keep
- 44:53Speaker 22: jobs here in the state.
- 44:56Speaker 2: So as some other political leader recently said, baby drill, well,
- 45:01Speaker 2: that could only be to the benefit of Victoria and
- 45:04Speaker 2: the rest of the country. Brad Baton, thank you so
- 45:06Speaker 2: much for your time.
- 45:08Speaker 5: Thank you.
- 45:10Speaker 2: The break scandal in Britain, it's state broadcaster ran Hamas propaganda.
- 45:15Speaker 5: It seems even to have paid the terrorists for the privilege.
- 45:22Speaker 2: I said that last week the Hamas terrorist group that
- 45:25Speaker 2: runs some Gaza has pulled off the most amazing propaganda
- 45:28Speaker 2: coup by getting Britain's BBC, the state broadcaster, has run
- 45:31Speaker 2: a whole hour of its propaganda. Well, this has turned
- 45:34Speaker 2: out to be an even bigger scandal than I first said.
- 45:38Speaker 5: Back then.
- 45:38Speaker 2: Last week I said this how long supposed documentary about
- 45:41Speaker 2: how four children in Gaza trying to survive the bombs
- 45:44Speaker 2: of those wicked Israelis was narrated by this boy who
- 45:47Speaker 2: turned out to be the son of this man. Third
- 45:50Speaker 2: from the left, I'm an al Yazuri, who's a minister
- 45:53Speaker 2: in the Hamas government. The boys also the grandson of
- 45:57Speaker 2: a founder of Hamas.
- 45:59Speaker 5: Well.
- 46:00Speaker 2: Since then we've learned that another child was the daughter
- 46:02Speaker 2: a captain of the Hamas controlled police, And now that
- 46:07Speaker 2: the footage had been falsely translated repeatedly to hide the
- 46:10Speaker 2: Jew hatred, so that someone supposedly talking about fighting and
- 46:14Speaker 2: resisting the Israeli forces had actually said this was a
- 46:17Speaker 2: gee hard against the Jews. And then there's the money
- 46:21Speaker 2: that the BBC.
- 46:22Speaker 5: Paid for this?
- 46:23Speaker 2: Did it pay Hamas children, Hamas Camerman Hamas facilitators Hamas
- 46:27Speaker 2: parents joined me from London's Patrick Christie's start presented with
- 46:31Speaker 2: the GBN News Patrick, this is an absolute scandal, it is.
- 46:37Speaker 1: And then this morning we.
- 46:38Speaker 25: Find out Andrey that the BBC have paid the Taliban's
- 46:40Speaker 25: propaganda wings that they can broadcast from Afghanistans and maybe
- 46:44Speaker 25: this is part of the cause. Now Essentially this happens
- 46:46Speaker 25: because the BBC is full of left wingers and they
- 46:48Speaker 25: don't seem to have figured out that Hamas is not
- 46:50Speaker 25: actually a left wing cause.
- 46:52Speaker 1: They don'try gay people or women particularly well.
- 46:55Speaker 25: And it's interesting because the BBC seems to care all
- 46:58Speaker 25: about the plants of Palestinians, it does about Christians being
- 47:01Speaker 25: butchered in the Congo or.
- 47:02Speaker 1: Facing persecution worldwide. Where did the money go? Or four
- 47:06Speaker 1: hundred thousand pounds.
- 47:08Speaker 25: Seem to have found its way, certainly to people who
- 47:10Speaker 25: are at the very least Hamas adjacent.
- 47:12Speaker 1: And now people are tearing up their license fees.
- 47:15Speaker 25: They're saying, we don't want to have to pay something
- 47:17Speaker 25: like one hundred and seventy pounds of years that you
- 47:20Speaker 25: can funnel that money off to people who may or
- 47:22Speaker 25: may not be members of ham Ass.
- 47:24Speaker 1: So not a particularly great look for the BBC.
- 47:26Speaker 25: Protests outside broadcasting house every single day now by Israelis,
- 47:30Speaker 25: or people who are sympathetic anyway to the Israeli.
- 47:33Speaker 1: CAUs or people who just think that this is absolutely
- 47:35Speaker 1: ludicrous from our state broadcaster.
- 47:39Speaker 2: Well, I notice said Israel's deputy Foreign Minister has the
- 47:42Speaker 2: matter to know how much, if any of this money
- 47:45Speaker 2: did go towards Hamas. Is there an inquiry into them.
- 47:50Speaker 1: The BBC has said that they're going to look into it.
- 47:52Speaker 25: But the problem for the BBC is that now five
- 47:54Speaker 25: hundred media lovey types, including their very own Gary Lineka,
- 47:58Speaker 25: who is their highest paid stuff, have just signed a
- 48:01Speaker 25: letter to say this documentary should not have been polled.
- 48:04Speaker 25: And if history seat is anything, I think it's more
- 48:07Speaker 25: likely for the BBC to listen to that kind of
- 48:09Speaker 25: quite posh, lovey chatterati dinner circuit than it is your
- 48:13Speaker 25: average Joe on the street. So they might look into it,
- 48:15Speaker 25: but I'd be very surprised if the BBC finds that
- 48:17Speaker 25: there's any serious wrongdoing here because they have something that
- 48:21Speaker 25: their disposal that very few of the broadcasters have andrew
- 48:23Speaker 25: they essentially get to investigate themselves.
- 48:29Speaker 2: Well, I just I've found this absolutely astonishing. If our
- 48:32Speaker 2: ABC ran wouldn't put a person to have put in
- 48:36Speaker 2: a bit for this Stocco. But if they did, this
- 48:38Speaker 2: would be an absolute national scandal. No questions asked by
- 48:44Speaker 2: politicians by the labor government.
- 48:47Speaker 25: Well certainly not really by the labor government at all, actually,
- 48:51Speaker 25: and what would they The Conservative party have been asking
- 48:54Speaker 25: about it, reform enterprigis party, they've been asking about it,
- 48:57Speaker 25: but no radio.
- 48:59Speaker 1: Silence on the left.
- 49:00Speaker 25: Kis Starmer, to be fair, has just landed in Washington
- 49:02Speaker 25: for that meeting with Trump. Well it will be desperately
- 49:04Speaker 25: hoping that the President of the United States forgets that
- 49:08Speaker 25: Kirs Starmer's foreign secretary like and Trump to a neo
- 49:10Speaker 25: Nazi sympathizing woman hater, and that Kirs Starmer has previously
- 49:16Speaker 25: played him as well.
- 49:17Speaker 1: So yeah, lots going on over here, an't.
- 49:21Speaker 2: Oh, Patrick, this is just a scandal. Petrick christ is
- 49:25Speaker 2: sorry for the short go all right, breaking news.
- 49:28Speaker 5: And all that. Thank you so much. That's it for
- 49:30Speaker 5: me now. Sherry Maxon
