  Speaker 1: East the reform it tonight the American comedian who claims
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: it was the victim of racism at Melbourne Airport a
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: dog sniffed in for drugs.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: I do not feel safe in the Melbourne Airport. I
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: do not want to be humiliated or racially discriminated against.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Except I'll play you some video, this comedian film that
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: might make you think hypocrite. Also tonight, another hypocrite alert,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: a teal independent who last week called Peter Dutton a
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: racist and this week calls for an end to abuse.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Stop it at the top.
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: At the end of the day, we hear a lot
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: of talk about commitment to better standards, better behavior, but
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: that can only be modeled by the leadership these people.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Plus more strange things emerge about the people who talk
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the Environment Minister into crippling a planned gold mine. And
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: in the US the return of Barack Obama. The Democrat
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Convention in a powerful attack on Donald Trump, demanding more civility,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: but then questioning the size of Trump's manhood. This weird
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: obsession with crowd sizes. Honestly, the frauds who've got lined
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: up for you tonight. But first I've got to come
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: back to this visa scandal because there's a more missing
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: information now and the Primise is getting so desperate to
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: wriggle out of all this that is stirring up anti
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Israel hatred. Now, remember the central point here, as Asio
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: has admitted, this government some outlet in thirteen hundred refugees
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: and terrorists run Gaza, even if they said they supported
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: the Hamasterist group, and it brought them in under tourist
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: visas without any interview beforehand to check them out. Some
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: issued in just an hour. That's the central point. And
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: there's seventeen hundred more Palestins from Garza with these visitors visas,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: still hoping it come. But now to something odd. Some
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: checks were made after the visas were issued. Forty three
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: of those visas were then canceled for reasons the government
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: won't explain. Canceled before the refugees actually got here. But
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: twenty of those Palestinis appealed and got their visit of
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: visas back. Why now, Normally, if those appeals were to
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: the Administray of Appeals Tribunal, the results would be published
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: so you could see why. But not this time. None
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: of no judgments are there because the government said the
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: visas were canceled when the refugees were still overseas well.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Could the Immigration minister was Andrew Giles at the time,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: has just been replaced. Could he have intervened given back
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: the tourism these tourist visas for some reason? Well, that
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: led to this question today in an interesting response from
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: a Prime minister who sounded just sick of it all.
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: Prime Minister of the reported forty three tourist visas you're
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: government granted and then canceled to those from the terrorist
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: controlled Gaza war zone. Since October seventh, twenty have been
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: reinstated on appeal. Did ministerial intervention occur to support any
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: of these twenty cases?
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: The member is asking me a question about ministerial intervention.
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: There certainly has not been prime ministerial intervention.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: How many she said there he didn't intervene, But did
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: any of his ministers? And if so, why so that
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: you have no answer, ambany. Is he also trying today
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: to pretend that this was just such an argument It's
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: just an argument about something in the Middle East.
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: I'm certainly speaking about the political expediency of those opposite
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: that is more concerned about the Middle East than Middle Australia.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: No, this is not just about the Middle East. This
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: is about who the government lets into Australia, onto the
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: streets of Middle Australia. And when the Opposition would have
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: let up Albani as he reached into the slop bucket.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: For instance, he implied that Opposition leader Peter Dutton was
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: just being racist for wanting to know why this government
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: brought in people from a terrorist in an area with
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: strong support for a terrorist group without the normal checks.
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: Punching down on vulnerable people is not strength, but that
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: is what.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: This blake does.
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: It shows Australia who he really is.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Every day.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: How many is He not only repeated that slur, he implied, unforgivably,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: that Israel was just willingly blowing up schools in Gaza.
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: I would have had some understanding, some understanding that this
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: was the worst time, the worst time to try to
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: just malign a whole group of people who are suffering enormously.
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: Something that we see on our TV screens every night.
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: You know, this morning you turn on the radio, the
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: latest hit was a school in Gaza.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: That's just a mass propaganda. It's disgusting. In fact, Israel
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: says it hit another Hamas control center that Hamas had
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: once again hidden in a school, and Israel claimed to
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: use security services and precision munitions to make sure that
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: the dead were just terrorists. I don't think Albernizi said
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: any of that, did he? No, he knows. Actually, this
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: is exactly how Hamas works hard in a school and
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: screen masker when Israel hits it. So why is he
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: attacking Israel doing exactly what Hamas had planned? Now, no
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Mintioninado by Albanizi of Israel. Now finding the bodies of
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: six more Jewish hostages killed in Gaza, ten months after
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: they were kidnapped, But Alban is he still unfinished. He
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: painted himself as a savior of Muslims in Western Sydney
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: against an anti Muslim opposition.
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: I say this to the good, good people of Watson,
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: blaxcelland and Mahn that we will respect every one of you,
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: regardless of who you are, regardless of your faith, regardless
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: of your ethnicity.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: You know this is so wrong national security. It's not
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: about turning a blind eye to seem nice to everyone.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: It is about making the tough decisions that keep us
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: all safe, regardless of our faith, regardless of our ethnicity.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Joining me is the political panel on a Wednesday Michael Costa,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: former New South Wales Labor Treasurer and Cameron Milner, former
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: chief of staff to Labor leader Bill Shorten, now Director
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: of g XO Strategies Crisis Management. The labor could call
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: on him now, I think. But Michael, the government lets
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: an even hamas supporters with no interview, without full checks, visas,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: tourist visas issued in maybe an hour in some cases,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: and the government's response is if you criticize that you're racist,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: never got it right.
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: I think the government's absolute termoil over this. And as
• 7:16
  Speaker 7: I said last week, they are now in a position
• 7:19
  Speaker 7: where they've got to balance whatever political concerns they have
• 7:22
  Speaker 7: about those seats that the Prime Minister just mentioned against
• 7:26
  Speaker 7: where the rest of the country is. And I can
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: tell you the rest of the country isn't with the
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: Prime Minister on this issue. National security is one of
• 7:33
  Speaker 7: the number one functions of the federal government and that
• 7:36
  Speaker 7: this is what this issue is about, the fact that
• 7:38
  Speaker 7: they haven't being transparent, the fact that they can't explain
• 7:42
  Speaker 7: the simple things white people were granted visas or white
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: people were rejected visas and why they're not transparent about
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: this is a horrific position in relation to their responsibilities
• 7:55
  Speaker 7: with national security. I've got to say that if it
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: wasn't for tilS the way they're performing, this government could lose.
• 8:02
  Speaker 7: And I think it's only the tools that are going
• 8:03
  Speaker 7: to save them, because they've really lost a Middle Australia
• 8:06
  Speaker 7: and all of Australia and including some of their working
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: class base.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Do you do you agree there, Cameron that the government
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: looks in disarray. I mean it seems to be coasting
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: in the supposition that well, you know, this is not
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: about costs of the living, so here's the opposition. We're
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: worried about the Middle East and Middle Australia. Do you
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: think it's called it right?
• 8:28
  Speaker 8: Well, no, I don't, and I think that's all of
• 8:30
  Speaker 8: the government's own distraction and self harm from the government.
• 8:33
  Speaker 8: Albo chose to give the gardens the visas the rest
• 8:36
  Speaker 8: of the world hasn't. The rest of the Five I
• 8:37
  Speaker 8: countries haven't done this. It's an Albanese visa, an Albo
• 8:41
  Speaker 8: visa for gardens without the security tests, without the proper
• 8:44
  Speaker 8: tech checks and balances, and Albos made this the issue
• 8:47
  Speaker 8: we should be talking about cost of living, and so
• 8:49
  Speaker 8: we're talking about his failure on national security and can
• 8:52
  Speaker 8: I say, isn't he when he's backed into a corner
• 8:55
  Speaker 8: just such an abusive and a denigrator. He attacks people
• 8:59
  Speaker 8: so nastily and that's his real character, real character coming
• 9:02
  Speaker 8: through Andrew. I think Australia is going to ask the
• 9:04
  Speaker 8: question is this really the prime minister they want on
• 9:06
  Speaker 8: national security? Because his track record, especially with these gardens.
• 9:10
  Speaker 8: I mean, you know, you know, basically handing out tourist
• 9:14
  Speaker 8: visas to potential terrorists, you know, holidays to Hamas supporters.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I mean that's his standard. Look Cameron there, Michael said,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: it goes through Albaniz's character whatever, It certainly goes through
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: his habit of doing things disastrously. Because I am struck
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: by the similarity between the way Albanize he handled the
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: voice debate and how's handling this visa debacle. Don't answer
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: the ric questions, don't give the facts, try to wait
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: it out, go emotional. Will it work.
• 9:50
  Speaker 7: I absolutely won't work, particularly on this issue. You know,
• 9:53
  Speaker 7: national security is a prime concern for everybody. The problem
• 9:57
  Speaker 7: with the Prime Minister is he is caught up in
• 10:01
  Speaker 7: an ideological framework that sees victimhood is being important. I mean,
• 10:06
  Speaker 7: all that stuff today about punching down is absolute nonsense.
• 10:10
  Speaker 7: People aren't punching down. They're asking simple questions about national
• 10:14
  Speaker 7: security and they want answers that he's not prepared to
• 10:16
  Speaker 7: give those answers because at his heart he's conflicted. He's
• 10:20
  Speaker 7: conflicted that if it wasn't the Prime Minister, he probably
• 10:23
  Speaker 7: be out there supporting the introduction of his visas like
• 10:26
  Speaker 7: he did in his left wing past. Same with the
• 10:30
  Speaker 7: issue of Israel. We know that he's been sort of
• 10:32
  Speaker 7: walking a tightrope, trying to be responsible, but on the
• 10:35
  Speaker 7: other hand having some sort of residual sympathy for some
• 10:39
  Speaker 7: of the issues and positions that he had in the past.
• 10:41
  Speaker 7: So I think he is conflicted and it's hurt in
• 10:44
  Speaker 7: the government.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Look, I actually think Labor should realize it's teetering on
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: a tart rope here because five Australians have already been
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: killed in terrorism events caused by refugees Muslim refugees we
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: have led into the country in the past. So it's
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: making Labor a real hostage to fortune here. The Albanies
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: you governed today, Cameron introduced Plan New lawses stamp out
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: bad behavior in parliament. An independent Parliamentary Standards Commission set
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: that up and this would then be able to find
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: MP's at least eleven thousand dollars even suspend them from parliament,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: which seems highly undemocratic. Is this a good idea? Well,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: there's got to be standards.
• 11:33
  Speaker 8: But can I say that Zally Stegel, who was early
• 11:35
  Speaker 8: on your program, what a hypocrite?
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Andrew? What a hypocrite? I mean, is TiAl wanting.
• 11:40
  Speaker 8: To proselytize to us about standards and she breaks them herself.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Andrew, I mean, look you here, hypocrisy is on show.
• 11:46
  Speaker 8: And let's hope the voters and the electorate that she
• 11:48
  Speaker 8: represents a judger.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Accordingly, well, let's just show that hypocrisy because you are
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: so right, Cameron. Here is Zalie's staill demanding highest.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: Stop it at the top.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: At the end of the day, we hear a lot
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: of talk about commitment to better standards, better behavior, but
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: that can only be modeled by the leadership.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: It's the same Zally Stegel who last week actually abused
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: the officers leader. We're one of the nastiest and most
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: damaging words in political discourse.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Stop being.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Honestly, Michael, do you find Zali Stegel a complete hypocrite
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: as well?
• 12:34
  Speaker 7: Look, I find that all of the Tools and the
• 12:37
  Speaker 7: Greens and all the rest of them as hypocrites. This
• 12:40
  Speaker 7: proposal is actually bone headed. I mean, parliamentary privilege is
• 12:43
  Speaker 7: there for a reason. There should be robust debate as
• 12:45
  Speaker 7: long as it doesn't get to the point of what
• 12:47
  Speaker 7: we saw in the Turkish parliament a couple of weeks
• 12:50
  Speaker 7: ago or last week. You should have this debate. I've
• 12:54
  Speaker 7: been subject to sense emotions because the opposition didn't like
• 12:57
  Speaker 7: the views that I had. And these are the people that,
• 13:00
  Speaker 7: by the way, Andrew the go around corn. Anybody that
• 13:02
  Speaker 7: criticizes things to do with national security as lamophobes or
• 13:05
  Speaker 7: they call you transfer. You think a man and a
• 13:08
  Speaker 7: woman are different. You know, you're a climate change denier
• 13:11
  Speaker 7: if you don't accept all of the modeling and the
• 13:13
  Speaker 7: nonsense that comes out of that. You're a neoliberal if
• 13:16
  Speaker 7: you want proper tax policy in place, and you're a
• 13:19
  Speaker 7: colonialist if you basically support alignment. I mean, you know
• 13:25
  Speaker 7: their standards are the worst.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: They may not.
• 13:28
  Speaker 7: Deliver them as vigorously as some of us, but They're
• 13:32
  Speaker 7: as pointed and as degrading and as ideological and disruptive
• 13:37
  Speaker 7: as anybody else.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: So true, gentlemen, thank you both Michael Costa and Cameron Milner.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: To another strange element today, environment Mister Tenure plcy her
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: decision to Cabosh and New South Wales gold mine because
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: of secret Aboriginal business. You know that is looking curious
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: and curious at now. Last night I told you that
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: she canceled this mind's planned tailings dam, which the operators said, well,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: that's going to kill the whole project. She canceled it
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: even though it jumped through every hoop, even though the
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: local Aboriginal traditional owners said it could go ahead. Wasn't
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: disturbing anything culturally significant. Well, I also told you that
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Plemsek acted after this woman artist and Nori Reynolds, who
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: identifies as Aboriginal, put in a formal objection under the
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Aboriginal Torrest trait Ar under Heritage Protection Act, saying that
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: she is a proud elder of the local Woragari tribe,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: when a University of New Southwest website profile says this
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: actually belongs to the Gamarray language group. So the north
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: of We're had to read lands. Her Avaginal art directory
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: also lists her as Gamarray, so does the Roots gallery
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: that sells her work. Well, look, maybe she's both now
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: plem Sex officer said no, no, no, it wasn't this
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: woman who persuaded her to ban the Mind's dam And
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: you get asked them who, And here it gets weirder.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: It seems to be seventeen of the eighteen people from
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: a distant group of Rajeri calling yourself the Rajeri Traditional
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Earners Central West Aboriginal Corporation. But when you check who's
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: actually on it, you find them listed only by their
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: first names on the website of the Office of the
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Registra of Indigenous Corporations. What's more, what they told Plibasek
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: is in confidence. We can't know other than that the
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: site is supposed to the sacred. We don't even know
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: their names. How can you deal with that? National Senators
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: into Naper jimper Price join the earl issues. Of course,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: the oppositions spokesman from Indigenous Australians Senator just into Naper
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Jimper Price. Thank you so much for joining us. Who
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: are these objectors to this mind and should take the
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: placid listen to them.
• 15:52
  Speaker 9: Ah, look, we're not really sure who these objectors are,
• 15:58
  Speaker 9: but we don't know that the Heritage Act was supposed
• 16:03
  Speaker 9: to be looked at by the minister. She promised the
• 16:08
  Speaker 9: Australian people she would make better laws around Aboriginal heritage
• 16:13
  Speaker 9: in this country. I've been arguing that we need to
• 16:17
  Speaker 9: look at a review of Native title in Australia so
• 16:21
  Speaker 9: that we can avoid situations where any individual can put
• 16:25
  Speaker 9: their hand up and suggest that they belong to a
• 16:28
  Speaker 9: group of people to put an end to projects as
• 16:32
  Speaker 9: important as this one, where eight hundred and seventy odd
• 16:35
  Speaker 9: jobs will now be lost.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: It's so strange. We don't know exactly who they are.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: We don't know what exactly they said. That's apparently confidential
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: in detail. At any rate, we don't even know properly
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: what their links to that area are. I mean, the
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: whole thing is really quite weird. Can I just ask you,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: do you think on the evidence so far that it
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: really is a sacred site?
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: Well?
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: This is this is the problem, right.
• 17:06
  Speaker 9: I mean you know that there've been particularly I think
• 17:09
  Speaker 9: where you know, cultural practices have not occurred for quite
• 17:14
  Speaker 9: some time. How can we be terribly sure what places
• 17:18
  Speaker 9: are culturally significant and what places aren't culturally culturally significant,
• 17:24
  Speaker 9: but you know, for the purposes of putting in and
• 17:26
  Speaker 9: end to projects like this one, they seem to suddenly
• 17:30
  Speaker 9: pop up as culturally significant places. I mean, from what
• 17:34
  Speaker 9: I'm hearing from those that I know where I drew
• 17:37
  Speaker 9: people that I know is there's a lot of politicking
• 17:39
  Speaker 9: going on and power struggles going on behind the scenes.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: The one person whose.
• 17:45
  Speaker 9: Name had sort of popped up throughout all of this,
• 17:49
  Speaker 9: miss Niri Is, there's now reports suggesting that she wasn't
• 17:54
  Speaker 9: in this for you know, she didn't want to be
• 17:56
  Speaker 9: part of this for this purpose, and she feels like
• 17:59
  Speaker 9: she's used in this particular way that's alleged to have
• 18:04
  Speaker 9: you know something that I've heard.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: Along the grapevine as well.
• 18:07
  Speaker 9: So it's just becoming more convoluted the more we try
• 18:11
  Speaker 9: to look into this.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Well, Unfortunately, she's also one they put in an objection
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: and she was being interviewed about the success of the
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: claim when tenure plibsic knocked it back. So I'm not
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: quite sure. Look, the whole thing's just such a mess. Finally,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: just Centa. We were just talking earlier in the show
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: about the new rules to modify politicians' behavior. A lot
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: of wittering about oh the abuse, the abuse from people
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: that have been actually hurling and I've got to say,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: what do you make of it all?
• 18:45
  Speaker 9: Well, you shouldn't throw stones and glasshouses for starters. You know,
• 18:49
  Speaker 9: if you can give it, you should be able to
• 18:51
  Speaker 9: take it. In the chambers, you know, these are places
• 18:55
  Speaker 9: for robust debate. You know, if someone hurld an insult,
• 19:00
  Speaker 9: then generally they're pulled up and they're asked to withdraw
• 19:03
  Speaker 9: those comments, as I would expect should happen, you know,
• 19:07
  Speaker 9: within the chambers. But you know, this is detracting from
• 19:10
  Speaker 9: the real issues that we're here to represent the Australian people,
• 19:13
  Speaker 9: to debate legislation for the benefit of the Australian people,
• 19:18
  Speaker 9: and I don't think we should be letting our egos
• 19:20
  Speaker 9: get in the way of that. I mean, it's a
• 19:23
  Speaker 9: tough place to be and if you can hurl it
• 19:26
  Speaker 9: but you don't know how to receive it, be on
• 19:28
  Speaker 9: the receiving end, then it's probably not the place.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: It's probably not the workplace for you.
• 19:34
  Speaker 9: As I said, we need robust debate, you know, when
• 19:39
  Speaker 9: insults are hurled at me or things are said toward me.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: I don't get hurt about it.
• 19:44
  Speaker 9: I just think, well, that's pretty immature. They don't have
• 19:47
  Speaker 9: an argument, so they have to resort to name calling.
• 19:49
  Speaker 9: That's how I handle it, right, because we're here for
• 19:53
  Speaker 9: other reasons. We're here to legislate and to make decisions
• 19:57
  Speaker 9: that will impact Australian people.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm going to say you've fair copped a lot.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: I'm not a Look, I'm not a rude person. I
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: don't like rudeness, but I have to say, if you
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: can't stand up for yourself in Parliament, how do we
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: know that you can stand up for your country. I mean,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: you know some toughnesses I think required, and you've got
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: a senator justinto nempergen Price. Thank you so much for
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: your time.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: After the break, the American comedian making world headlines by
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: claiming he was the victim of racism at Melbourne Airport,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: I'll show you a video that should really shut him up. Well,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: let's call that someone else playing the race card. Eric
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Andre is an American comedian who's told is three million
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: followers on Instagram he's just been the victim of Australian
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: racism at Melbourne airport, sniffed for drugs by dog.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Well, I got pulled out of a lineup and put
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: in a special line in Melbourne where I was sniffed
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: thoroughly by a dog. This is a message for all black,
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: brown and Indigenous people traveling through Melbourne today, especially if
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: you're traveling Quantus International by terminal two. Please be careful.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: They are searching black, brown and Indigenous people. I do
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: not feel safe in the Melbourne Airport. I do not
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: want to be humiliated or racially discriminated against anymore at
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: these airports.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: Well, the airport and customs and Border Force. They all
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: deny any racial profiling, deny even pulling him out for
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: a check. But under its claims are still making news
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: in American newspapers and making our name mud. But I
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: should add two things for balance. One, Eric Andre does
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: seem unlucky, well maybe paranoid. He also sued for supposed
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: racial profiling Atlanta Airport in Georgia last year lost. And
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: two this man's upset about a dog's for drugs last year,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: made a video saying he'd taken a lot of those.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: Drugs MS nitrous fish, a little bit of annex that's my.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Sweet spot weed.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: I actively dislike. It's the only drug I dislike HETA
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: mean is is just it's not for me.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: But I'm not mad at it.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: I've done PCP before and I think I've done enough
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: acid where I've explored it and I think I aged
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: out of it. But the first early acid days were
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: the best. I got two hits of the grateful Dead
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: acid in my house, like the original batch the Sunshine
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: acid that guy made, but I'm saving that for a
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: special occasion.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Joining me is Ron Dean, editor in chief of the Spectator,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Australian host of Outsiders and Sky News every Sunday at
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: nine am. Ron. It's a cheap way to get publicity,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: isn't it. I've been racially profiled. But could this man
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: have a case. He was singled out for his race again,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: so he.
• 22:52
  Speaker 10: Says, well, no, Andrew, he doesn't have a case, and
• 22:58
  Speaker 10: in fact, on behalf of all Australians. I'm deeply offended
• 23:02
  Speaker 10: by this character he's gone to. He's called it Melbourne,
• 23:06
  Speaker 10: when of course we all know that the actual indigenous
• 23:09
  Speaker 10: name is nam and it's on cool in nation Land.
• 23:13
  Speaker 10: So here we have someone wandering around insulting indigenous Australians
• 23:17
  Speaker 10: by calling the place Melbourne, when of course we know
• 23:20
  Speaker 10: it is anything but. All jokes aside Andrew. The reality
• 23:23
  Speaker 10: is every time someone who's ticket sales may not be
• 23:27
  Speaker 10: necessarily as high as they want suddenly finds that they've been,
• 23:32
  Speaker 10: you know, find finds a reason to get into the newspapers. Now,
• 23:35
  Speaker 10: whether that's the reason Eric Andre needed to make these claims,
• 23:39
  Speaker 10: I don't know. But the reality is we've seen this
• 23:41
  Speaker 10: many times before. I'm reminded of the time, for example,
• 23:45
  Speaker 10: when Milo Unopolis was in Australia. In fact, the first
• 23:48
  Speaker 10: thing he did is you rush down to just outside
• 23:50
  Speaker 10: that building over my shoulder there and said, you know what,
• 23:53
  Speaker 10: the Sydney Opera House is the ugliest building I've ever seen.
• 23:56
  Speaker 10: Whoa global headlines certainly headlines all around Australia, Milo and
• 24:00
  Speaker 10: Napolianopolis and Saltz, Sydney Harbor and the Opera House. So
• 24:06
  Speaker 10: you know, if you're if you're a celebrity coming to Australia,
• 24:09
  Speaker 10: the quickest thing you can do to grab some headlines
• 24:11
  Speaker 10: is to start talking about, you know, whatever you may
• 24:15
  Speaker 10: imagine have happened at the airport. The reality is that
• 24:18
  Speaker 10: sniffer dogs is a traditional form of welcoming to Australia
• 24:21
  Speaker 10: by the Border Patrol authorities. And if you've ever watched
• 24:24
  Speaker 10: any of those TV programs like Border Patrol or Sarah
• 24:28
  Speaker 10: Hanson Young's Favorite Sea Patrol, you will know that this
• 24:32
  Speaker 10: is how you are greeted when you arrive in Australia.
• 24:34
  Speaker 10: So there should be no surprises there. And as you say,
• 24:39
  Speaker 10: you know, perhaps the dogs may made some reason or
• 24:43
  Speaker 10: other why they singled him out, but it certainly would
• 24:45
  Speaker 10: not have been on race. There is no question it was.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: No and I don't know what it was. Maybe he
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: genuinely does think he's always getting picked on. I have
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: to say. I have to say if the Border Force
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: people had seen that video of him saying talking about
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: all the drugs has gotten ones has still got these
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: hits of whatever it is that grateful dead had and
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: all that, if they had seen that, I think they
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: might have given him a real ones over once he
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: came here. I would have thought it's quite odd that
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: would you give him a visa? I don't know anyway.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Titania Plivosek, she really does seem someone who is a
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: bit gullible of self win races in the equation to
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: put it mildly, Rowan, She's just made another silly call
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: that I'm not sure anyone else has picked up. She's
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: approved a massive new soul of farm in the Northern Territory.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Here's what it looked like. Hideous approved that. Plus it's
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: a cable part way to Singapore to sell the electricity
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: and all. This is just days before the Northern Territory election.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: But here's the thing. She made this claim about this
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: wind farm that's got a plan installed capacity of four gigawatts.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: She said the energy generated by this project's almost six
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: times the amount of energy of a seven hundred megawatt
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: large nuclear reactor could deliver. Rowan. That scares me because
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: if plebs knew anything, she's actually confusing install capacity with
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: night and day perfect light with what solo phonts actually
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: deliver was typically obviously a quarter of that, less than
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: a quarter of it. So this only produces probably less
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: than twice the electricity of that nuclear reactor. What does
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: this story tell you.
• 26:31
  Speaker 10: Well, it reinforces. It tells me the ignorance of the
• 26:34
  Speaker 10: Labor Party, the Greens and the Teals on the issue
• 26:36
  Speaker 10: of nuclear power. I was just speaking earlier this evening
• 26:39
  Speaker 10: to an expert on nuclear who was telling me that,
• 26:42
  Speaker 10: you know, we could have nuclear within five years if
• 26:44
  Speaker 10: we actually went about it seriously. And the CSIRO you know,
• 26:49
  Speaker 10: reports into the costs and that are just absurd and
• 26:52
  Speaker 10: can be quickly debunked. But more importantly, that photo you
• 26:56
  Speaker 10: showed of what is supposed to be something where we
• 26:58
  Speaker 10: find appealing. It's the most hideous and ugly thing I've
• 27:01
  Speaker 10: ever seen. If you can imagine destroying the Australian landscape,
• 27:04
  Speaker 10: whether it is I mean, how patronizing it. Oh so
• 27:06
  Speaker 10: it's out in the desert. Therefore, you know we don't
• 27:08
  Speaker 10: care about it. We don't care how many spotted ginks
• 27:12
  Speaker 10: or whatever are out there in the desert.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: They can all.
• 27:14
  Speaker 10: You know, the vastness of this enterprise, it is huge.
• 27:19
  Speaker 10: Well my first tip, Andrew, I'll be absolutely brutally honest
• 27:22
  Speaker 10: with you. I'll bet anyone who wants to bet that
• 27:24
  Speaker 10: this thing will never get off the ground as it were,
• 27:27
  Speaker 10: we've seen as you portrayed brilliantly. You showed brilliantly last
• 27:30
  Speaker 10: night on your show Three Strikes for the Bowen you
• 27:36
  Speaker 10: renewables revolution where we're seeing every project that they put up,
• 27:40
  Speaker 10: whether it's green hydrogen, whether it's electric vehicles, whatever it is.
• 27:44
  Speaker 10: Today it's the great big announcement, and sure enough within
• 27:47
  Speaker 10: six months the so called investors have run a mile
• 27:50
  Speaker 10: or the thing doesn't stack up, or it doesn't work
• 27:52
  Speaker 10: or whatever this project I you know, it's my bet
• 27:56
  Speaker 10: it will go the same way as all those other
• 27:59
  Speaker 10: mass of white elephants. It will never see the light
• 28:02
  Speaker 10: of day. And in fact, Canon Brooks himself has said
• 28:04
  Speaker 10: he won't actually be signing off on the investment for
• 28:09
  Speaker 10: another three years, So long time Togo before to change
• 28:12
  Speaker 10: your mind on that. And if you even look at
• 28:14
  Speaker 10: that little map with why are going up to Singapore
• 28:17
  Speaker 10: and all the rest, it looks like something that you know,
• 28:19
  Speaker 10: a kid of dreams dreamt up as a way. But
• 28:22
  Speaker 10: more importantly to your issue about nuclear Andrew, what she
• 28:25
  Speaker 10: doesn't understand? She they clearly don't understand how nuclear energy works,
• 28:29
  Speaker 10: because the entire point about energy is the amount of
• 28:33
  Speaker 10: physical space you need to take up to generate the
• 28:37
  Speaker 10: volume of energy you need to generate that soul of
• 28:42
  Speaker 10: farm stretching over. However, many thousand acres literally a handful
• 28:46
  Speaker 10: of uranium could generate the same amount of energy. That
• 28:50
  Speaker 10: is what the equation is. The equation is not what
• 28:53
  Speaker 10: it's possibly capable of generating. The equation is simply over
• 28:57
  Speaker 10: the life span, the half life, or whatever it is
• 29:00
  Speaker 10: of the project. How much can it generate for the
• 29:02
  Speaker 10: space it takes up and destroys, and the instance of
• 29:06
  Speaker 10: that It is the most eminent backward ideas typically Rowan.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: Once again, you've often been criticized. You've been too kind
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: to pliver sect. The reason it's out in the desert
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: is that no one could have it on arable land,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: of course right or anywhere near settlement. But the fact
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: that it's in the middle of the desert out there
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: means that the horrendous cost of hooking it up to
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: the grid makes that too expensive. So I'm going to
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: double on your offer and say yes, I doubt this
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: will be made, will go ahead in the end, because
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Singapore hasn't even signed up to take this power. I
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: must say one other thing. I want to tell you
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: made a point about five years and nuclear power station
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: could be built in five years China, plever sc should
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: hear this before knocking nuclear China has just said yes
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: to building eleven more nuclear reactors. Did it this week.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: A little more nuclear reactors in five years, and he's
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: this government saying no, we can't have it'll take twenty years. Honestly,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: he's so right on this one. Roan. Can't wait to
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: hear or you say on insiders about this, outsiders about
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: this on Sunday.
• 30:16
  Speaker 9: Time.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: After thanks, I'm very excited. I'm sorry, I just mate.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: You're seeing your country being destroyed by these ideologues, right,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: You've got to say something. If you're not upset about that,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: you don't know what's going on. That's my view anyway, Rowan,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: thanks for your time to the Democrat Convention. After the break,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Cama Harris a peak smug and there it was Barack
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: Obama a hypocrite for making and please excuse me for
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: saying this a penis joke about Donald Trump. There is
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: such sanctimony in the hysterical greeting the ovation that the
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: left is giving kame of the Harris today with the
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Democrat Convention to formly endorse Vice President Harris as a
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Democrat candidate in the November election.
• 31:07
  Speaker 11: We are so honored to be your nominees. This is
• 31:11
  Speaker 11: a people powered campaign.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: I'll turn it up. Harris was actually installed in a
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: coup by Democrat bosses who dumped President Biden as their candidate.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: They threw out the people's voting that one in the primaries.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: But today, the two people said to be the chief
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: coup plotters, former President Barack Obama and wife Michelle, were
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: there to seal the coronation of Kamala Harris by hey,
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: guess what, playing the race card as well to paint
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump as a racist.
• 31:44
  Speaker 11: For years, Donald Trump did everything in his power to
• 31:48
  Speaker 11: try to make people fear us. See his limited narrow
• 31:54
  Speaker 11: view of the world made him feel threatened by the
• 31:57
  Speaker 11: existence of too hard work and highly add ducated successful
• 32:01
  Speaker 11: people who happen to be black. I want to know
• 32:11
  Speaker 11: who's going to tell him, Who's gonna tell him that
• 32:14
  Speaker 11: the job he's currently seeking might just be one of
• 32:16
  Speaker 11: those black jobs.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: I mentioned saying the presidency is one of those white jobs.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, seriously, I have to say. There were powerful
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: parts and speeches of both Obama's they cut above Kamala Harris,
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: but all that self congratulation that the Democrats they're the
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: party of decency above Trump's style cheap shots, and then
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: Barack Obama actually had a crack at the size of
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: Trump's manhood. There's the childish nicknames.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: The crazy conspiracy theories, this weird obsession with crowd sizes.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: Joined me earlier from the convention was Joe Hockey, former
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: federal treasurer and later our ambassador to Washington. Joe Hockey
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: is great to see you again. Look, there's something incredible
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: for me about the Democrat convention and the campaign Kamala
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: Harrison now have been running as their candidate for a month.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: There's just seventy five days to go before Americans vote.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: Yet so far, all we have heard is that Trump
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: is terrible. Trump's Trump's a dictator. What Kamala Harris would
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: actually do as president almost nobody knows, except she wants
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: price controls on food and a huge tax hike on
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: corporate So a seven point rise in the attacks. This
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: is a bit strange, isn't it.
• 33:49
  Speaker 12: Well, you know, I went through four days of the
• 33:52
  Speaker 12: Republican convention where all they talked about was Donald Trump.
• 33:56
  Speaker 12: Now I'm in my second day a Democrat convention and
• 33:58
  Speaker 12: all they're talking about is Donald Trump. So it is
• 34:02
  Speaker 12: becoming I mean, I really need some Trump danger money
• 34:06
  Speaker 12: from Sky for this sort of work, because I'm really
• 34:09
  Speaker 12: hearing a lot about it. But the fact is, you know,
• 34:13
  Speaker 12: the Democrats, they basically said goodbye to Joe Biden last night.
• 34:19
  Speaker 12: They've so screwed up the logistics of the program that
• 34:22
  Speaker 12: Joe Biden came on so late in the evening that
• 34:25
  Speaker 12: half of America had already gone to bed, and he
• 34:29
  Speaker 12: has now flown off to a ranch and disappeared for
• 34:33
  Speaker 12: the next few weeks. And they're trying to build a
• 34:36
  Speaker 12: new momentum around Kamala Harris. Behind the scenes, they're saying,
• 34:40
  Speaker 12: we can't have a campaign, We've got to have a movement,
• 34:43
  Speaker 12: and we've got to bring everyone together. The bottom line is,
• 34:46
  Speaker 12: as you said, Andrew, for everyday Americans, it comes back
• 34:51
  Speaker 12: to the basic issues cost of living and immigration, and
• 34:55
  Speaker 12: wherever you go, you need to focus on those issues
• 35:00
  Speaker 12: to win the undersided voters. And Donald Trump is ill
• 35:03
  Speaker 12: disciplined at the moment, is all over the shop. If
• 35:08
  Speaker 12: he gets back to those two issues, he can win.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: Well. I think Joe Biden disappearing for two weeks is
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: exactly what Kamala Harris wants. She wants him off the stage.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: She doesn't want to be tired to him. I'm going
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: to say, what we've seen behind you so far seems
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: to be more of a royal coronation than an exercise
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: in democracy. I mean, Harris is there because of an
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: internal coup against Joe Biden by the party leadership, and
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: that was after he actually won the nomination. And so
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: far at this convention has been anointing of Harris by
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: former President Obama and his wife, Hilary Clinton, wife of
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: another form prisident Joe Biden himself, who sounded quite angry,
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: isn't this a fix by the political elite? That said,
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: it seems to be working absolutely.
• 36:00
  Speaker 12: In fact, one very senior Democrat said to me when
• 36:07
  Speaker 12: I asked the question, will you have an open convention,
• 36:10
  Speaker 12: you know, give people the chance to nominate? He said, what,
• 36:13
  Speaker 12: let the members of the Democratic Party nominate the candidate.
• 36:17
  Speaker 12: If we did that, we'll end up with the leader
• 36:18
  Speaker 12: of Hamas as our presidential candidate. He said, no, we're
• 36:22
  Speaker 12: going to take control of the situation. And they have
• 36:25
  Speaker 12: and they've done that, and you know the bottom line
• 36:28
  Speaker 12: is that you know, they've been disciplined. They've raised a
• 36:33
  Speaker 12: phenomenal amount of money. I mean, they've now raised so
• 36:36
  Speaker 12: much money. Both the Democrats and the Republicans that they
• 36:40
  Speaker 12: cannot spend it. They cannot spend all the money they
• 36:43
  Speaker 12: have collected between now and polling date, and so money
• 36:47
  Speaker 12: is no longer an issue. Volunteers on both sides are
• 36:51
  Speaker 12: in vast numbers.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: That's not the issue.
• 36:53
  Speaker 12: It really does come down to how you are going
• 36:56
  Speaker 12: to win those swing voters and really still key states Pennsylvania, Michigan,
• 37:03
  Speaker 12: and Wisconsin. And in my view, and it's the same
• 37:07
  Speaker 12: as yours, Andrew, and I'm probably the same as everyone
• 37:10
  Speaker 12: watching your program, cost of living is the number one issue.
• 37:14
  Speaker 12: And Kamala Harris wants to increase taxes. And if she
• 37:17
  Speaker 12: increases the taxes on Walmart or everyday small businesses, then
• 37:23
  Speaker 12: that means they're going to pass it on to consumers
• 37:26
  Speaker 12: in higher prices. And Donald Trump needs to prosecute that argument.
• 37:30
  Speaker 12: And the second thing is the border remains a disaster
• 37:33
  Speaker 12: with Mexico, and Donald Trump has got a show that
• 37:37
  Speaker 12: he can fix it if he prosecutes those two issues.
• 37:40
  Speaker 12: Kamala Harris needs to get onto that playing field and
• 37:44
  Speaker 12: come up with her own policies, but at the moment
• 37:47
  Speaker 12: she's under no pressure from Donald Trump.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: What a campaign. Joe hockey. Great to see you, great
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: to have your insights. Thanks to your time.
• 37:58
  Speaker 12: It's fitting that you should finish because Bernie Sanders has
• 38:01
  Speaker 12: just come on and he's got the biggest chair that
• 38:03
  Speaker 12: shows you where the Democrats are heading at the moment.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: Oh gosh, are mighty Yes, indeed, thank you, Joe. Thanks.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what you know. The media is really
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: helping this. I saw a survey of media which said
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: that nearly ninety percent of Trump's press coverage was negative,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: more than eighty percent of Kamala Harris's was positive. I
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: guess what, Guess who the media's candidate is in this election.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: After the break, I'll talk to a politician who today
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: put the needle into the Prime minister and ask why
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: plus Robie Canner and what just got him riled. Let's
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: go back briefly to the debate in Parliament today. This
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: is getting so brutal. The Prime ministers got asked this
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: today by one of our regular panelists.
• 38:50
  Speaker 13: Why as Australia heading out tourist visits to gardens from
• 38:54
  Speaker 13: the terrace controlled warzone in an average of twenty four hours,
• 38:57
  Speaker 13: in some cases as quickly as one hour, while bypassing
• 39:01
  Speaker 13: all the usual checks, including those the former coalition government
• 39:04
  Speaker 13: used in Syria. Will the Prime Mister admit that the
• 39:06
  Speaker 13: government's visa for vote scheme was only done to shore
• 39:09
  Speaker 13: up the seats of Watson, McMahon.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: And Blacks and q Moore fireworks as well. Join me
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: as the man who asked that question. Federal Liberal MP
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: Garth Hamilton and Robert Katta, head of Kata's Australia Party
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: originally founded by his father Bob. The Federal MP Garth,
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: is that really what you think is happening living in
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: Palestinians from Gaza without proper checks, just the police, Muslim
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: voters in very Muslim seats. This is this conspiracy theory
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: or I think there's actually something to it.
• 39:39
  Speaker 13: Look, I always speak what I believe, Andrew, I think
• 39:43
  Speaker 13: there is a concern there. There is an absolute concern.
• 39:46
  Speaker 13: It's up to the Prime Minister to answer that. If
• 39:48
  Speaker 13: anyone did bother watching question time, they would have seen
• 39:51
  Speaker 13: the extreme efforts the government went not to answer that question.
• 39:54
  Speaker 13: They fought back, The three ministers stood up to try
• 39:57
  Speaker 13: to prevent me from asking that question of the Prime Minister.
• 40:01
  Speaker 13: It was extraordinary and of course he waffled on and
• 40:04
  Speaker 13: gave no real answer. What's at stake here is important, Andrew,
• 40:07
  Speaker 13: But we're asking the government after everything that we've seen,
• 40:09
  Speaker 13: all of the steps that have been taken, the secrecy,
• 40:12
  Speaker 13: the failure under Andrew Giles previously, there's a reasonable question
• 40:17
  Speaker 13: I think that Australians can ask. We saw what happened
• 40:19
  Speaker 13: in the UK where there were electorates that had large
• 40:23
  Speaker 13: Muslim populations that actually voted against Labor in the recent
• 40:26
  Speaker 13: UK election. We've got the same issue here playing out.
• 40:31
  Speaker 13: I think there's a reasonable question to ask of the
• 40:33
  Speaker 13: Albanezy government. Are you putting national security first? Or is
• 40:38
  Speaker 13: this a political scheme that you've set up to secure
• 40:42
  Speaker 13: those Western Sydney seats. I think it's a reasonable question
• 40:45
  Speaker 13: given what we've seen from this government.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: Robie Candy, you've got some distance on this. You're sitting
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: in the Queensland Parliament and you're in a rural electorate
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: that I don't think is going to get many Palestinian
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: refugees settling there. From your distance, speak what do you
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: make of this? How? Because don't keep asking myself, how
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: is it possibly in Australia's interest to import people, even
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: ones who say they are Hamash supporters without proper checks.
• 41:15
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I'm really glad you asked me the question, Andrew, because,
• 41:18
  Speaker 14: as you say quite correctly, I'm well removed from the issue.
• 41:21
  Speaker 14: I live in Mount Isa, right in the middle of Australia,
• 41:24
  Speaker 14: and we're desperately trying to get skilled You know, we've
• 41:27
  Speaker 14: got a large, say Filipino population, hard working people, well
• 41:31
  Speaker 14: assimilated into our communities, and we can't get them in
• 41:34
  Speaker 14: to perform the roles to keep the country productive, roles
• 41:37
  Speaker 14: to keep country going, and other people from persecuted countries
• 41:41
  Speaker 14: that can be functional parts of our society.
• 41:45
  Speaker 15: But these guys get to.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: Jump the queue.
• 41:47
  Speaker 15: And from where we watch it on TV, there's some
• 41:50
  Speaker 15: pretty crazy people over there, done some pretty bad things
• 41:54
  Speaker 15: and they're jumping the queue. It just makes absolutely no
• 41:57
  Speaker 15: sense to the man on the ground out in the
• 41:59
  Speaker 15: remote of Australia where we're desperate.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: And then when they lead in the country, they can.
• 42:03
  Speaker 15: Live where the hell they want, and they live in
• 42:05
  Speaker 15: the middle of Sydney of Melbourne. Why aren't they forced
• 42:07
  Speaker 15: out into rural or remote areas where we desperately need
• 42:11
  Speaker 15: people to perform some of those service tasks. And you know,
• 42:15
  Speaker 15: me and some of those roles.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: But getting back to.
• 42:17
  Speaker 15: The issue of the Palestins, I mean it absolutely beggars
• 42:20
  Speaker 15: belief for most people in regional areas, particularly remote justice.
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: You're so right, it just does not pass any smell Tiss.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: By the way, Garthur, the Teal independence that they were
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: demanding higher standards from politicians, less yelling, yes, less abuse.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: They particularly blamed the Coalition. Here's one of those Teals
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: at Kylie Tink.
• 42:42
  Speaker 16: I have never stood in a boardroom and been yelled at.
• 42:47
  Speaker 16: I have never met with peers and had a sensation
• 42:52
  Speaker 16: where they were completely unopen to listening to me.
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: Now, I wonder what your reaction to that is, Garth.
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: It's a fair enough point. But then again, I just
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: wonder if you're surprised that the Teals were particularly banging
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: the Coalition when you've just shown in researching your commission
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: that Tink, for instance, has voted with the Greens more
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: than six percent of the time. But still she could
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: have a point, does she.
• 43:16
  Speaker 13: Oh? Look, I'm not surprised by the lack of real
• 43:18
  Speaker 13: world experience. I've run a few mind sights, Andrew. I'm
• 43:21
  Speaker 13: sure you can imagine they're not pleasant places where we
• 43:24
  Speaker 13: all sit around and deliver pleasantriies to each other and
• 43:27
  Speaker 13: the real world things need to get done and sometimes
• 43:30
  Speaker 13: they get heated. But I think everyone should come here
• 43:32
  Speaker 13: and fight for their beliefs.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: But look, I want.
• 43:35
  Speaker 13: To raise this point. I think the Teals have bought
• 43:37
  Speaker 13: the standard of Parliament down and I think they should
• 43:40
  Speaker 13: be called out. I think they are a detriment to
• 43:42
  Speaker 13: the standards in this place. And there's two examples I
• 43:44
  Speaker 13: want to give you. One is where we've got miss
• 43:46
  Speaker 13: Stegel clearly making defamatory remarks about the leader of the opposition,
• 43:51
  Speaker 13: Peter Dutton, clearly defamatory remarks. This is below community standards.
• 43:58
  Speaker 13: She is dragging us down. The other one I want
• 43:59
  Speaker 13: to talk about so that may go before the courts.
• 44:03
  Speaker 13: Who knows what mister Dutton will do. The other one
• 44:05
  Speaker 13: I want to talk about if we remember the case
• 44:08
  Speaker 13: of Nique Ryan's interactions with her staff. Now this did
• 44:13
  Speaker 13: go before the courts and a settlement was reached. Very
• 44:16
  Speaker 13: bad behaviors were explained in that place. So there's two
• 44:20
  Speaker 13: cases Andrew, one that went before the courts, one that
• 44:23
  Speaker 13: may well do. Where the Teals have bought the standards
• 44:26
  Speaker 13: of behavior, the standards of this Parliament down and then
• 44:28
  Speaker 13: they have the hide and hypocrisy to point at everybody else.
• 44:32
  Speaker 13: I'm calling them out. They are the problem at the
• 44:35
  Speaker 13: moment and they need to be reminded they do not
• 44:38
  Speaker 13: have some moral superiority that we all need to just
• 44:40
  Speaker 13: acknowledge because they say so. They can be judged by
• 44:43
  Speaker 13: their Actually.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I should say that Manik Ryan denies being a
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: bad boss and previously had some difficulty with one particular
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: staff of the do motive it difficulty with as well.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: They have to say that Robbie, Robbie Canada. There are
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: two issues that you've had to go and I've been
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: wondering whether, in fact are raised one. I wasn't going
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: to because so many people would be upsetting, but really
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: this has troubled me, and I was thinking I'm being
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: gutless mentioning it just because you know some people might
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: turn off. But the issue, and I've raised it years
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: ago as well, the issue of letting in some states,
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: not all, some states, babies that were not wanted, that
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: were supposed to be aborted or whatever. They are born alive, healthy,
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: but are allowed to die without comfort, and it's happening.
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: It's happening in Queensland. You've raised this issue, can you
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: explain why?
• 45:42
  Speaker 15: Well, probably initiated by the fact that the Coisine Health
• 45:46
  Speaker 15: changed their operating procedure to say you may give assistance,
• 45:50
  Speaker 15: so it used to be don't give assistance. You were
• 45:52
  Speaker 15: instructed not to give assistance even though a planned abortion
• 45:56
  Speaker 15: and the baby still came out breathing and and different
• 46:01
  Speaker 15: forms of healthy. Some aren't doing so well, some won't survive.
• 46:04
  Speaker 15: But I would hope that most Australians would say that's
• 46:09
  Speaker 15: despite being planned to be boarded, it wouldn't help, wouldn't
• 46:12
  Speaker 15: hurt to give that baby the same dignity of any
• 46:15
  Speaker 15: other child that's born that's you know, wasn't planned.
• 46:18
  Speaker 9: To be boarded.
• 46:19
  Speaker 15: And up to thirty a year, well over thirty year
• 46:24
  Speaker 15: in Queensland are recorded as being born alive plan abortions.
• 46:28
  Speaker 15: As people, there's a guild of people that have aborsh
• 46:31
  Speaker 15: and survivors, baby survivors. But I would have thought it
• 46:35
  Speaker 15: was pretty practical to just legislate what is the change
• 46:38
  Speaker 15: of procedure in Queensland to align with new said laws
• 46:41
  Speaker 15: and South Australia, that we would be it would be
• 46:43
  Speaker 15: mandated that you would give the baby dignity in care,
• 46:47
  Speaker 15: whether they are viable as they say, whether they're going
• 46:50
  Speaker 15: to live or not, give them some dignity and care
• 46:53
  Speaker 15: instead of leaving them in a peatrie, on a kidney dish,
• 46:57
  Speaker 15: in a dark room, or in a bin as one
• 46:59
  Speaker 15: as reported being put in a bin while still having
• 47:03
  Speaker 15: a heartbeat. And so I don't think that's acceptable, and
• 47:07
  Speaker 15: it's a human rights issue. It's got nothing to do
• 47:09
  Speaker 15: with abortion, and we have both parties seem unwilling to
• 47:13
  Speaker 15: support it as it would seem so far in state Parliament.
• 47:17
  Speaker 15: So I'm pretty shocked and I think it's you know,
• 47:21
  Speaker 15: it's got nothing to do with ideology, it's got everything
• 47:24
  Speaker 15: to do with human rights and respect.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: I agree well, I feel it's a shocking for the
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: children involved. Of course I also feel for the medical
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: staff that aren't allowed to give help, and they must
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: tear them apart too. Robbie catteror Garth Hamilton, thank you
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: both for your time. That's it from me coming up now,
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: Sherry Maxon good Night
