- 0:00Speaker 1: Lately.
- 0:02Speaker 2: Welcome late Bay.
- 0:06Speaker 1: Well, thanks for joining us. I'm James Macpherson with Liz
- 0:09Speaker 1: Storer and kayleb Bond. Coming up. We want to talk
- 0:11Speaker 1: to you about the dumbest criminals in the world, caught
- 0:14Speaker 1: with drugs after they literally advertised to police exactly where
- 0:17Speaker 1: they were. We'll tell you about that later. Plus when
- 0:20Speaker 1: we look at the papers, Victorian public servants to receive
- 0:24Speaker 1: training about white privilege, of course only in Victoria and
- 0:29Speaker 1: in other news making the papers front pages. Tomorrow. Independent
- 0:33Speaker 1: schools to launch a campaign against the Greens nationally in
- 0:37Speaker 1: the lead up to the next election. But first it's
- 0:40Speaker 1: been revealed Environment Minister Tanya Plibis's decision to block a
- 0:44Speaker 1: one billion dollar gold mine was based at least in
- 0:47Speaker 1: part on a series of Aboriginal drawings. It turns out
- 0:51Speaker 1: the gold mine wasn't that bad. It was just drawn
- 0:54Speaker 1: that way. The mcphilamy gold mine near Orange in New
- 0:56Speaker 1: South Wales had been set to go ahead before plus
- 0:59Speaker 1: X slapt a Indigenous Heritage Protection order on it at
- 1:03Speaker 1: the last moment. Now she did this despite the fact
- 1:06Speaker 1: the New South Wales government and the local Aboriginal Lound
- 1:09Speaker 1: Council all supported the development, but Plittersek preferred the advice
- 1:13Speaker 1: of eighteen local Wdigery people, one of whom was artist
- 1:17Speaker 1: Nirie Reynolds. Marie Reynolds said that she got involved after
- 1:21Speaker 1: hearing from her ancestors have alism.
- 1:25Speaker 3: Every time both passed ancest help and I thought, if
- 1:34Speaker 3: I can to work with everyone and the ancestors to
- 1:40Speaker 3: stop this, because to kill Labella Pulla by putting meant
- 1:48Speaker 3: in the springs, it's unthinkable.
- 1:52Speaker 1: So, after hearing from her ancestors artists, Nirie Reynolds painted
- 1:57Speaker 1: a series of pictures which she admitted to Tanya Pliba
- 2:01Speaker 1: Sik as the main thrust of her argument. She wrote,
- 2:05Speaker 1: my paintings are all based on this beautiful part of
- 2:07Speaker 1: Fordidjery country. I can't bear to think of the desecration
- 2:10Speaker 1: of this land and its ancient heritage if the mcphillamy
- 2:14Speaker 1: proposal were to go ahead. And so it turns out
- 2:17Speaker 1: now according to the Daily Telegraph, that these paintings you
- 2:20Speaker 1: can see on your screen were the main thrust of
- 2:23Speaker 1: the argument that convinced Tanya Plibasek the one billion dollar
- 2:28Speaker 1: gold mine, which would have created eight hundred jobs untold
- 2:31Speaker 1: wealth for locals, should not go ahead. And of course,
- 2:36Speaker 1: for people wanting to invest in this country, why would
- 2:39Speaker 1: you bother doing all the groundwork when you've got government
- 2:42Speaker 1: ministers who believe a picture is worth a thousand wordscale.
- 2:46Speaker 4: I've found that thoroughly convincing. I mean, hell, I'm going
- 2:49Speaker 4: to make all my decisions henceforth based on painting submitted
- 2:53Speaker 4: to me. Look, if someone makes a submission that is
- 2:57Speaker 4: out of kilt her with what the majority of the
- 2:59Speaker 4: local people want, the local indigenous people. But there's some
- 3:03Speaker 4: paintings in there, you'd think you just dismissed it out
- 3:06Speaker 4: of hand and go, well, this woman must be a crackpot.
- 3:09Speaker 4: I mean, if she's trying to tell me that we
- 3:11Speaker 4: can't have a billion dollar gold mine that's going to
- 3:13Speaker 4: provide jobs to locals on the basis of a few.
- 3:15Speaker 2: Paintings, then she's cooking on another planet.
- 3:18Speaker 4: No, it was exactly what Tanya Plibisick needed and wanted,
- 3:22Speaker 4: I mean, and her department had tried to hide the
- 3:25Speaker 4: fact that the paintings were part of the argument because
- 3:28Speaker 4: they knew how embarrassing it would be. But because Tanya
- 3:31Speaker 4: Plibisick is more worried about what is happening in her
- 3:33Speaker 4: electorate in a Sydney than what is going on in
- 3:37Speaker 4: any rural or regional part of Australia. And she wants
- 3:40Speaker 4: to make it look like, well, you know, I'm knocking
- 3:42Speaker 4: back mines out in the regions. It plays well to
- 3:46Speaker 4: voters in the inner city who might otherwise go and
- 3:48Speaker 4: vote for the Greens.
- 3:49Speaker 2: That's what she's really worried about.
- 3:50Speaker 4: So along comes on the table a submission from a
- 3:54Speaker 4: local moajerie woman saying, we couldn't possibly have this, it'll
- 3:57Speaker 4: be detrimental to the cultural heritage the joint. Yes, perfect,
- 4:01Speaker 4: exactly what I need, except that it was paintings. I mean,
- 4:04Speaker 4: did she not think that at some point this was
- 4:07Speaker 4: going to come out and people would go, hang on,
- 4:09Speaker 4: we're making decisions in this country about billions and billions
- 4:13Speaker 4: of dollars of investment on the basis of a woman
- 4:16Speaker 4: who spoke to her ancestors somewhere out there in the
- 4:19Speaker 4: ether and then put ink to paper or paint or whatever.
- 4:24Speaker 2: Seriously, what so.
- 4:25Speaker 4: The country is this if that's how we make investment decide?
- 4:28Speaker 5: I think this is just rage bait though, because there's
- 4:31Speaker 5: nothing to show that this moved the dial whatsoever, and
- 4:35Speaker 5: In fact, a spokesperson for Tanya Plebseca said that they
- 4:38Speaker 5: did not rely on this particular submission in any way,
- 4:41Speaker 5: shape or form. Two pages long. It was composed of
- 4:45Speaker 5: these paintings and a few short stories that Miss Reynolds
- 4:49Speaker 5: had put together in her submission. So I do think
- 4:53Speaker 5: we're being a bit disingenuous here. I don't believe it
- 4:56Speaker 5: was based on these paintings. Even the article doesn't claim that.
- 5:00Speaker 5: The truth of the matter is we still don't know
- 5:02Speaker 5: why this jolly mind was vetoed because Tanya pleversec says
- 5:07Speaker 5: we got to keep it secret because the reasons are
- 5:09Speaker 5: culturally sensitive, which is exactly what the Queensland government told
- 5:13Speaker 5: us last week when those fifteen townships which are facing
- 5:18Speaker 5: pending claims of native title, like there's not enough native
- 5:22Speaker 5: title in Queensland to sink a battleship already, That's what
- 5:25Speaker 5: those townships were told. Oh, look, we can't tell you
- 5:28Speaker 5: the details of these submissions which are now claiming native
- 5:31Speaker 5: title in your patch because well, it's culturally sensitive, so
- 5:35Speaker 5: we can't give any details. This seems to be a
- 5:38Speaker 5: reoccurring excuse that the government is using to make these
- 5:43Speaker 5: calls that affect hundreds and hundreds of people. So Regius Resources,
- 5:47Speaker 5: who's already spent two hundred million dollars developing this site,
- 5:52Speaker 5: getting all the plans together before you turn the tiniest
- 5:56Speaker 5: lump of sod. There is a lot of work that
- 5:58Speaker 5: goes into getting plans a proved and these plans were
- 6:01Speaker 5: approved by a great many departmental heads, including the New
- 6:05Speaker 5: South Wales Parliament. Was given the green light until Plibask
- 6:09Speaker 5: came along and said no, veto veto. So Regis has
- 6:12Speaker 5: spent two hundred million dollars already and the indigenous groups
- 6:17Speaker 5: in that area have said, she's not even we're agerie,
- 6:20Speaker 5: we've never heard of this woman. Hashtag no relation and
- 6:25Speaker 5: they're incredibly frustrated because, as one of the guys who
- 6:29Speaker 5: spoke to this said, we own forty percent of the land,
- 6:32Speaker 5: but we're dirt Paul. We're trying to make this some
- 6:36Speaker 5: sort of economic power empowerment for indigenous people. Why else
- 6:40Speaker 5: do you think we want it. We've got this massive
- 6:42Speaker 5: project and it's been scuppered by a few voices like
- 6:46Speaker 5: Mss Reynolds. This was going to employ like nine hundred
- 6:50Speaker 5: people in the region. It was going to make us
- 6:53Speaker 5: big bucks, thanks for nothing. So it just goes to
- 6:57Speaker 5: show this labor government. They talk the talk like they
- 7:00Speaker 5: did ad nauseum trying to get the Voice up, and
- 7:04Speaker 5: then when it comes to rubber hitting the road and
- 7:06Speaker 5: actually empowering Indigenous people in the area who want something
- 7:11Speaker 5: like this development to go forward, you're going to scuffer
- 7:15Speaker 5: it over details that you won't release because they're culturally sensitive.
- 7:20Speaker 5: And ladies like this get primetime news across the nation
- 7:24Speaker 5: because somehow she was involved. But the only involvement she
- 7:28Speaker 5: really had was writing a submission. We don't know how
- 7:30Speaker 5: many submissions there were. Hers was one of them. And
- 7:33Speaker 5: I'm happy to give at least that much leeway to
- 7:36Speaker 5: the government to say there is no way that that
- 7:39Speaker 5: was actually a big umph in the decision to veto it.
- 7:43Speaker 1: It's interesting that this comes on the one year anniversary
- 7:45Speaker 1: of the failed Voice referendum, because the government made a
- 7:48Speaker 1: big deal about we've got to listen to Indigenous people.
- 7:51Speaker 1: Then when they've got their official Land Council who have
- 7:54Speaker 1: been appointed to provide advice from the Indigenous community to
- 7:57Speaker 1: the government, that don't listen to that because that would
- 8:00Speaker 1: power indigenous people. They prefer to listen to other Indigenous
- 8:03Speaker 1: voices that would help them curry favor with potential Greens
- 8:06Speaker 1: voters in the Environment Minister's seat. And that's incredibly cynical
- 8:11Speaker 1: on behalf of the government that typically use Indigenous people
- 8:14Speaker 1: for their own rank political purposes while claiming that they're
- 8:18Speaker 1: the height of virtuous.
- 8:19Speaker 4: Well what just political pin Why would you not take
- 8:22Speaker 4: the word of Arti farty people. I mean, look, you
- 8:24Speaker 4: want to combat the Greens, you got to get the
- 8:26Speaker 4: arty Farti's on site. That's exactly who you should be
- 8:28Speaker 4: taking your advice on the favens. We are not a
- 8:31Speaker 4: serious country anymore. We Liz mentioned Queensland before. Let's talk
- 8:35Speaker 4: about the Queensland state election of course coming up very soon.
- 8:39Speaker 4: Now I know about you, but every time we have
- 8:42Speaker 4: an election campaign, with it be federal or state, you
- 8:46Speaker 4: get this barrage of text messages that you don't ask for.
- 8:49Speaker 4: It's just because your phone pings against a tower that
- 8:53Speaker 4: a political party has paid a carrier to send a
- 8:57Speaker 4: text message to everyone whose phone is pinging that tower, right,
- 9:01Speaker 4: So you don't have a choice in the matter. You
- 9:02Speaker 4: just get bombarded with these texts from the LNP or
- 9:05Speaker 4: the ALP or the UAP or whoever it might be.
- 9:09Speaker 2: Vote for us, Vote for us.
- 9:10Speaker 4: Now you know, you can choose whether or not you
- 9:12Speaker 4: want someone to send you an email, and by law,
- 9:15Speaker 4: you can unsubscribe from an email.
- 9:17Speaker 2: In this country. It's not the case with text messages.
- 9:20Speaker 2: They just send them to you anyway. It is so annoying.
- 9:23Speaker 4: Well, the LNP is doing it in Queensland at the moment.
- 9:27Speaker 4: They send out a text message over the weekend, just
- 9:30Speaker 4: before early voting began up in Queensland warning people that
- 9:35Speaker 4: they should not vote for the Labor Government. I mean,
- 9:38Speaker 4: I don't think they really have to worry about that
- 9:39Speaker 4: too much, but they've worried warned people not to vote
- 9:42Speaker 4: for the Labor government because of their patients tax.
- 9:45Speaker 2: At the GP.
- 9:47Speaker 4: Now, what all this centers around is the fact that
- 9:50Speaker 4: last not to.
- 9:51Speaker 5: Vote for the LMP. Not sorry, what trying Labours trying
- 9:55Speaker 5: to get people not to vote for the end.
- 9:57Speaker 4: No, no, no, this is the LNP has sent this to
- 10:00Speaker 4: the ALP. I'll get to them in a minute because
- 10:04Speaker 4: Labour's actually returned five So the LNP sends out these
- 10:08Speaker 4: text messages saying don't vote for the ALP because they're
- 10:10Speaker 4: going to charge you attax to go to the doctor.
- 10:12Speaker 4: All that stems from the fact that last year the
- 10:14Speaker 4: states started leaving payroll tax on doctors gps who had
- 10:19Speaker 4: previously been exempt from payroll tax because of a decision
- 10:23Speaker 4: out of the courts in New South Wales that said
- 10:25Speaker 4: they had to pay it. So of course all the
- 10:26Speaker 4: states fell into line and said, yepe, we can get
- 10:29Speaker 4: more tax out of these people, so they started charging
- 10:32Speaker 4: the doctors.
- 10:33Speaker 2: So the LNP is saying, hang.
- 10:34Speaker 4: On a minute, Labor has levied a tax on the doctors.
- 10:38Speaker 4: The only problem is that Labor has said if they
- 10:40Speaker 4: are returned to government, they will change the law, so
- 10:44Speaker 4: the doctors are no longer charged payroll tax. So Labor
- 10:47Speaker 4: comes out today and says, this is terrible.
- 10:49Speaker 2: How dare you? It's misleading?
- 10:52Speaker 4: So what better for the ALP to do than to
- 10:55Speaker 4: return serve with their own barrage of text messages to
- 10:59Speaker 4: people in queen and this time warning that the AIRLNP
- 11:02Speaker 4: is going to lie to hide their planned health cuts.
- 11:06Speaker 4: Another misleading message because there is no evidence whatsoever that
- 11:11Speaker 4: the LNP wants to cut the health budget in Queensland.
- 11:15Speaker 4: You know, they actually had an argument the Labor government
- 11:18Speaker 4: when they said, hang on, you've sent out this barrage
- 11:20Speaker 4: of misleading text messages. Then they've gone and done exactly
- 11:23Speaker 4: the same thing twenty four hours later. As far as
- 11:26Speaker 4: I'm concerned, these text message campaign things should be banned.
- 11:30Speaker 4: You didn't ask for it. It seemed to you unsolicited.
- 11:33Speaker 4: I don't know why they're allowed to continue doing it.
- 11:35Speaker 1: Yeah, no one typically pays much attention to them anyway.
- 11:38Speaker 1: You just get annoyed, delete and think I won't vote
- 11:41Speaker 1: for whatever party keeps harassing me on my phone. The
- 11:44Speaker 1: situation with this is the LNP said on September twenty nine,
- 11:48Speaker 1: we won't charge GPS this payroll text. The Labor Party
- 11:52Speaker 1: only agreed to do the same last Wednesday, having been
- 11:56Speaker 1: in power for the last however many years. So I
- 11:59Speaker 1: don't know that it's that much of a lyra scare
- 12:01Speaker 1: campaign to say, Look, the Labor Party could have done
- 12:04Speaker 1: this at any time. They decided last Wednesday after we
- 12:07Speaker 1: said we wouldn't do it. Now they're saying they wouldn't
- 12:09Speaker 1: do it. They won't do it. Do you really believe them?
- 12:11Speaker 1: But putting that to the side. For Cameron Dick from
- 12:14Speaker 1: the Labor Party, to accuse the LNP of a scare
- 12:17Speaker 1: campaign is the height of pot kett or black. I
- 12:21Speaker 1: mean we've had in the last few weeks Labour saying
- 12:23Speaker 1: that the LNP are going to you know, get rid
- 12:25Speaker 1: of abortion and trash women's rights, They're going to sell
- 12:29Speaker 1: off hospitals, they're going to cut public service jobs, and
- 12:32Speaker 1: to have a look at this mean that's been going
- 12:35Speaker 1: around online from the Labor Party Campbell Newman the sequel
- 12:40Speaker 1: R eighteen plus horror themes. It says, I mean, so
- 12:43Speaker 1: if the Labor Party want to talk about scare campaigns,
- 12:46Speaker 1: I mean, the Labor Party know all about scare campaigns.
- 12:49Speaker 1: They've pretty much been running one for months now.
- 12:52Speaker 5: Well, I disagree that these are entirely powerless, right because
- 12:56Speaker 5: you've just got normal everyday people getting these and a
- 13:01Speaker 5: lot of them freak out, especially if you use patient
- 13:04Speaker 5: services quite a bit, and you're like, wait a minute,
- 13:08Speaker 5: we've got to vote Labor because the LMP are going
- 13:11Speaker 5: to make patient services more expensive. The fact is both sides,
- 13:15Speaker 5: if you ask me, are complete sickos. Because the whole
- 13:19Speaker 5: idea of a scare campaign and the two you mentioned
- 13:22Speaker 5: absolutely baseless. All the LMP is going to change abortion laws.
- 13:26Speaker 5: And then the Nurses Union, the biggest union in Queensland,
- 13:30Speaker 5: we're telling everyone or you've got to, You've got to.
- 13:34Speaker 2: They're going to.
- 13:35Speaker 5: Privatize the health services so it's going to cost more
- 13:38Speaker 5: in that respect as well, both of which were completely baseless.
- 13:43Speaker 5: So now the LMP is just fighting fire with fire.
- 13:47Speaker 5: But here's my point. Every day, normal people just going
- 13:50Speaker 5: about their lives, putting food on the table for their families,
- 13:54Speaker 5: get these texts and quite a few of them actually
- 13:57Speaker 5: freak out with good cause because they still trust government
- 14:01Speaker 5: and they go, hang on a second, you're telling me
- 14:04Speaker 5: that my medical costs are going to go up if
- 14:07Speaker 5: I don't vote Labor. I'm listening because this will affect
- 14:11Speaker 5: me in my family to the extreme, depending on how
- 14:14Speaker 5: sick you are or how sick the people in your
- 14:17Speaker 5: family are. And the fact of the matter is these
- 14:19Speaker 5: sickos will feed off that fear. That is what they
- 14:23Speaker 5: are trying to capture. They will literally lie to you
- 14:28Speaker 5: to get you to go to the polls and vote
- 14:31Speaker 5: for them. They don't care about the fear and anxiety
- 14:33Speaker 5: they're causing everyday, honest people by lying to them. They
- 14:38Speaker 5: just want your vote. And they will stop at nothing
- 14:41Speaker 5: to do it. And as far as I'm concerned, that
- 14:43Speaker 5: means neither of them belong in Parliament because you're not
- 14:46Speaker 5: governing for the people. The very fact that you would
- 14:49Speaker 5: hit send on that mass text and not care the
- 14:52Speaker 5: least for the genuine anxiety you are going to cause
- 14:56Speaker 5: Queenslanders tells me everything I know about you. It's and yes,
- 15:01Speaker 5: both sides are now caught in the they've been caught
- 15:04Speaker 5: out doing it, but that just goes to show me
- 15:07Speaker 5: who are these people? And why on earth would it
- 15:10Speaker 5: we elect either of you your sickos.
- 15:12Speaker 4: Well, it's politicians, isn't it that they should have the
- 15:14Speaker 4: Misinformation Disinformation Bill.
- 15:17Speaker 2: Specifically for politicians. Empt Let's have them road.
- 15:22Speaker 4: Tested for a couple of years and if that works out.
- 15:25Speaker 2: Then maybe the rest of us will consider it. But
- 15:27Speaker 2: of course that will never happen.
- 15:29Speaker 4: And meanwhile, the Premier, Stephen Miles and Queen's out. He
- 15:34Speaker 4: knows he is toast and he is so desperate to
- 15:37Speaker 4: hold on to government that he's wheeling out literally anything
- 15:40Speaker 4: he can find now like he.
- 15:41Speaker 2: Is just coming up, Well, a policy written on the
- 15:43Speaker 2: back of a coaster, that'll do. Let's go with it.
- 15:46Speaker 4: So of course, yes, his campaign launch yesterday and he
- 15:49Speaker 4: comes out with this ripper, We're going to give free
- 15:52Speaker 4: lunches to school kids.
- 15:53Speaker 2: Take a listen. When I was the Health minister, this
- 15:57Speaker 2: came up a lot.
- 15:58Speaker 6: We did a lot of work on preventing obesity and
- 16:02Speaker 6: teaching kids what a healthy meal looks like, and a
- 16:06Speaker 6: lot of people pointed to countries around the world that
- 16:08Speaker 6: have school lunch programs as places where you could test
- 16:14Speaker 6: side by side different approaches and places where universal free
- 16:17Speaker 6: lunch had made had made a big difference.
- 16:21Speaker 4: Never mind that ministers in his own cabinet have canned
- 16:24Speaker 4: this idea previously.
- 16:25Speaker 2: We're in the middle of a desperate.
- 16:26Speaker 4: Election campaign, so let's roll it out now. He talks about, oh,
- 16:29Speaker 4: we're going to give free lunches to school kids. Well know,
- 16:32Speaker 4: the tax payer is charged for it, to the tune
- 16:35Speaker 4: of one point four billion dollars for this plan. It's
- 16:39Speaker 4: only going to be provided should they win government again,
- 16:42Speaker 4: to students in public schools, not those at independent or
- 16:45Speaker 4: Christian or or any other denomination schools, because of course
- 16:48Speaker 4: they can go without lunch. It's just the kids at
- 16:50Speaker 4: the public schools. It is like the most blatant ploy
- 16:54Speaker 4: for votes with oh did free money free money? I
- 16:57Speaker 4: think I have ever seen you? Thought Right was bad
- 17:00Speaker 4: with his economic stimulus and baby bonuses. Going back to
- 17:04Speaker 4: the Howard government would.
- 17:04Speaker 5: Say, Clarah, a good idea.
- 17:06Speaker 4: Maybe they actually came with a bit of merit. Now, look,
- 17:09Speaker 4: I understand that there are a lot of children who
- 17:12Speaker 4: go to school without having had breakfast, to go to
- 17:15Speaker 4: school without any food in their lunch boxes.
- 17:18Speaker 2: But let's the real problem.
- 17:19Speaker 4: There is not something that the school can fix by
- 17:22Speaker 4: giving you a free lunch. The real problem is that
- 17:25Speaker 4: those parents either don't have enough money to put food
- 17:28Speaker 4: on the table or they're too neglectful to look after
- 17:31Speaker 4: their children.
- 17:31Speaker 2: So the kid goes to school, gets a free.
- 17:33Speaker 4: Lunch, he goes back to exactly the same house at
- 17:36Speaker 4: the end of the day. None of that changes. It
- 17:39Speaker 4: simply band aid measures that do nothing. But oh, if
- 17:42Speaker 4: we tell people we're going to give their kids free lunch.
- 17:44Speaker 2: Maybe they'll vote for it.
- 17:45Speaker 1: And as you pointed out, this isn't even an original idea.
- 17:48Speaker 1: The Greens suggested this in twenty twenty one, and Die Farmer,
- 17:51Speaker 1: who's now the Education Minister just three years ago said
- 17:55Speaker 1: this was the height of irresponsibility. Now it's her policy.
- 17:59Speaker 1: That's how desperate they are to find something, anything to
- 18:02Speaker 1: convince people to vote for them, aside from being a
- 18:05Speaker 1: massive waste of money one point four billion dollars and
- 18:09Speaker 1: very unfair because, as you said, if you're sending your
- 18:12Speaker 1: kids to a Christian school or an independent school, and
- 18:15Speaker 1: most of those are very low fee schools, you're paying
- 18:18Speaker 1: for everybody else's lunch, whereas your kid doesn't get anything
- 18:21Speaker 1: from the taxpayer teat. But logistically this is going to
- 18:25Speaker 1: be a nightmare. Yeah, I mean, I've made lunch for
- 18:28Speaker 1: two kids and it's an absolute nightmare. Satisfied both, They're
- 18:33Speaker 1: going to make lunch for three hundred and twenty six
- 18:35Speaker 1: thousand kids, all with different allergies and all with different
- 18:38Speaker 1: wants and needs. How the heck are they going to
- 18:40Speaker 1: do this?
- 18:40Speaker 5: And also there he was trying to make this about health,
- 18:44Speaker 5: like if you teach kids the elements of healthy lunch,
- 18:47Speaker 5: they're not the ones packing their lunch box. They're not
- 18:50Speaker 5: the ones responsible for the food in their house. Even
- 18:53Speaker 5: if they do pack their own lunch box, they can
- 18:55Speaker 5: only work with the ingredients that mum and dad have
- 18:59Speaker 5: bought them. So how does that figure. Also, I wouldn't
- 19:02Speaker 5: trust the state to feed my kid. You can't even
- 19:05Speaker 5: trust the state to educate your kid properly. So please state,
- 19:10Speaker 5: stop impinging on parents' roles. And let's go to the
- 19:14Speaker 5: US now, where the Democrats, all the famous or rather
- 19:18Speaker 5: infamous ones, are out in force, trying to scrounge up
- 19:22Speaker 5: those last few votes before everyone hits heads to the
- 19:26Speaker 5: polls just next month. Yes, it's breathing down our next now,
- 19:30Speaker 5: lady and ladies and gentlemen. So imagine you are Bill
- 19:36Speaker 5: Clinton and you're out on the hustings, trying to hustle
- 19:39Speaker 5: a few votes, press the flesh, meet members of the public.
- 19:44Speaker 5: And this lady, it's some chicken shop, thinks you're Joe Biden.
- 20:09Speaker 5: There he is at a local Macer's and they don't
- 20:11Speaker 5: even remember Bill Clinton is to be fair, most of
- 20:15Speaker 5: them do look like Morgue wanderers at this point. So
- 20:18Speaker 5: an old man, white hair shuffled him decrepidly, and you're like,
- 20:23Speaker 5: you must be Joe.
- 20:24Speaker 1: But you know what that proves. No one's seen Joe
- 20:26Speaker 1: Biden for the longest time, so no one remembers what
- 20:30Speaker 1: the president looks like. So you know, and all old
- 20:32Speaker 1: guys look the same. But I bet she got his
- 20:34Speaker 1: order wrong as well.
- 20:37Speaker 4: But how would you how would you feel as Bill Clinton,
- 20:40Speaker 4: like you've just been not recognized? She thinks of Joe Biden.
- 20:44Speaker 4: I mean, what an insult to Bill Clinton. You know,
- 20:47Speaker 4: apart from some of his personal indiscretion. Sure, while he
- 20:51Speaker 4: was while he was president, you know, he wasn't wrong
- 20:53Speaker 4: when he said it's the economy stupid. He was a
- 20:55Speaker 4: reasonable political brain, unlike Joe Biden these days, given that
- 20:59Speaker 4: his brain has conly disintegrated. But she goes from oh
- 21:02Speaker 4: my god, it's Joe Biden to it's Bill Clinton, and
- 21:06Speaker 4: then she's like, oh my god, it's Bill Clinton. Recognize
- 21:12Speaker 4: and then she's all over him like I knew exactly
- 21:16Speaker 4: who you were.
- 21:17Speaker 2: Isn't it great to be a former president?
- 21:19Speaker 4: And then you think about the potential future vice president
- 21:22Speaker 4: of the United States. Tim Waltzho, of course, is Kamala
- 21:25Speaker 4: Harris's running mate and his wife Gwen. We know she's
- 21:29Speaker 4: come out with a bunch of cringeworthy public appearances lately.
- 21:33Speaker 4: We saw that clipper. A couple of weeks ago. She
- 21:36Speaker 4: was at a rally saying, you know, we're going.
- 21:38Speaker 2: To turn the page, turn the page.
- 21:41Speaker 4: Going back into teacher mode because of course she is
- 21:44Speaker 4: a former teacher. Well, she's tapped back into her former
- 21:48Speaker 4: teaching career to tell people that they've got to go
- 21:50Speaker 4: out and vote. And tell me if this was you,
- 21:53Speaker 4: if you're sitting at home watching this video, I think
- 21:56Speaker 4: maybe I should go out and vote on November fifth.
- 22:00Speaker 4: This encourage you to vote or would it make you go?
- 22:02Speaker 4: Actually no, I will vote, but I'm going to vote
- 22:04Speaker 4: for Donald Trump. Giving you lectured me like this.
- 22:08Speaker 7: I'm Gwen Walls, and I have been an educator for
- 22:11Speaker 7: a really long time and I'm here with an assignment
- 22:14Speaker 7: for you today.
- 22:15Speaker 5: It's due.
- 22:16Speaker 7: I'm November fifth. Now I'm going to put my teacher
- 22:18Speaker 7: classes on because this is really serious, like a final,
- 22:21Speaker 7: and there's no late work.
- 22:22Speaker 5: I need you to take yourself.
- 22:24Speaker 7: And three friends to the ballot box and make your
- 22:27Speaker 7: voice heard.
- 22:28Speaker 5: You have to vote.
- 22:29Speaker 7: I'm going to repeat that again. You and three of
- 22:32Speaker 7: your friends have to make your voices heard by voting.
- 22:35Speaker 7: If you need more information, just go to.
- 22:38Speaker 4: I will vote dot com. And remember no late work.
- 22:43Speaker 4: I mean please, it is. It's cringe worthy and we're
- 22:47Speaker 4: treating it as a bit of a laugh. But does
- 22:49Speaker 4: it not prove exactly how stupid they think the people
- 22:53Speaker 4: of America out like We actually have to talk to
- 22:55Speaker 4: them like their children to get them to go out
- 22:58Speaker 4: and vote. That is what Alton Harris and the Democrats
- 23:01Speaker 4: think of their potential.
- 23:02Speaker 5: And Kamamma Harris's campaign thought this was such a great clip.
- 23:06Speaker 5: They shared it to their tip took to their millions
- 23:10Speaker 5: of followers. Yes, everyone watch this lady. Let you you
- 23:14Speaker 5: like your preschool less. Now, everybody get to the polls.
- 23:18Speaker 5: Take three friends, three friends, no late work, and.
- 23:24Speaker 2: It's count up. It's one, and then it's two, and then.
- 23:28Speaker 5: It's the anythinger.
- 23:30Speaker 1: The Dems understand very well that in order to vote
- 23:33Speaker 1: for them, you must be of incredibly low IQ, so
- 23:36Speaker 1: they're talking to their audience. It's coming to the other
- 23:38Speaker 1: thing this proves is that Tim Waltz was certainly chosen
- 23:43Speaker 1: to make Kamala Harris look good, because that's about the
- 23:46Speaker 1: only service he performs, just as Kamala Harris was chosen
- 23:50Speaker 1: to make Joe Biden look good. So that tradition continues.
- 23:54Speaker 4: And Joe Biden was chosen to make Barack Obama look good.
- 23:58Speaker 5: We'll never want to VP. They're gonna show you are.
- 24:02Speaker 1: The Democrats might be winning, but the American people, it's
- 24:05Speaker 1: just lose, lose, lose staying in America. While NASA are
- 24:08Speaker 1: doing some great work with diversity, equity and inclusion, Elon
- 24:12Speaker 1: Musk is py andeering technology which is literally going to
- 24:15Speaker 1: transform space travel. Over the weekend, he launched the largest,
- 24:19Speaker 1: most powerful spacecraft in history. Just to give you an idea,
- 24:24Speaker 1: the rocket he launched over the weekend is twice the
- 24:27Speaker 1: size of the Shuttle and can carry three times the payload. Now,
- 24:32Speaker 1: what he wants is not just to launch rockets. He
- 24:34Speaker 1: wants essentially to turn rockets more into planes that are reusable,
- 24:39Speaker 1: so after being fired into outer space, they can land
- 24:42Speaker 1: right where they took off from, be refueled, and take
- 24:45Speaker 1: off again. That would make space travel a lot cheaper
- 24:48Speaker 1: and you could get a lot more people into space
- 24:51Speaker 1: a lot more quickly. So he fired off a massive
- 24:54Speaker 1: rocket over the weekend and then performed an extraordinary feat
- 24:58Speaker 1: never done before. The booster pocket, after detaching, fell back
- 25:02Speaker 1: to Earth at inordinate speed, but then used its thrusters
- 25:07Speaker 1: to reposition itself and go exactly back to where it
- 25:10Speaker 1: came from. Captured in mid air by giant mechanical arms.
- 25:14Speaker 1: Have a look at this incredible historic feet and that's
- 25:18Speaker 1: the lass.
- 25:19Speaker 2: We could see it come it down through the clue.
- 25:30Speaker 5: We're now down to three router engines. We could see
- 25:34Speaker 5: those charts.
- 25:45Speaker 1: Now. The engineering and technology to get that to come
- 25:48Speaker 1: back exactly right within millimeters is just astonishing. Elon Musk
- 25:54Speaker 1: eventually says that that particular rocket could take a hundred
- 25:58Speaker 1: astronauts into space at any one time, then come back,
- 26:02Speaker 1: be refueled, send a whole lot more up. It's quite extraordinary,
- 26:06Speaker 1: and Elon Musk is making everybody who criticizes him look
- 26:09Speaker 1: like complete morons at the moment.
- 26:11Speaker 5: Well, this is incredible. This was their first try. This
- 26:15Speaker 5: was the very first try, so they had every excuse
- 26:18Speaker 5: for it to go terribly and for them just to
- 26:20Speaker 5: be like, well that was draft one. We'll have another
- 26:23Speaker 5: whack at it. As Elon Musk has said, nothing will
- 26:26Speaker 5: make me give up on this. Like he's obsessed with this.
- 26:28Speaker 5: He absolutely loves space X and the work that they do.
- 26:33Speaker 5: And you look at that, here's something that no government
- 26:36Speaker 5: has achieved. They haven't poured funds into this. They've been
- 26:40Speaker 5: absolutely awol in terms of the space exploration going on
- 26:43Speaker 5: in this space. No government could pull this off, but
- 26:47Speaker 5: the government, the Department of Justice in the US, is
- 26:51Speaker 5: suing SpaceX for not hiring asilum seekers. Elon Musk is like,
- 26:56Speaker 5: I want the brightest, I want the smartest. He's very,
- 27:00Speaker 5: very famous for cutting Twitter's workforce by over eighty percent
- 27:04Speaker 5: when he took it over, because he was just like, oh,
- 27:07Speaker 5: all of this is just absolute dead weight. And it
- 27:10Speaker 5: has run just fine since, in fact much much better.
- 27:14Speaker 5: And here he is pulling off this incredible feat. And
- 27:18Speaker 5: not only has he got the DOJ suing him for
- 27:21Speaker 5: not hiring asylum seekers, California has decided to get into
- 27:25Speaker 5: the mix and take him to task in the courts
- 27:29Speaker 5: because of some sort of coastal commission. They want him
- 27:33Speaker 5: to up and move out. They don't want him doing
- 27:36Speaker 5: anything more in the state, and he is counter suing them.
- 27:41Speaker 5: Check out this tweet. He says, incredibly inappropriate of the
- 27:45Speaker 5: action that they're taking against him. What I post on
- 27:48Speaker 5: this platform has nothing to do with a coastal commission
- 27:51Speaker 5: in California filing suit against them on Monday for violating
- 27:56Speaker 5: the First Amendment. Because of course this has every thing
- 28:00Speaker 5: to do with where he stands politically. He's backing Trump.
- 28:04Speaker 5: He's been very vocal about that. He's even spoken at
- 28:07Speaker 5: one of the Trump rallies. Probably even more I don't know,
- 28:10Speaker 5: but those guys have sat down for one on one interviews.
- 28:13Speaker 5: They're clearly mates. And these guys are trying to make
- 28:17Speaker 5: him pay for it by going after SpaceX.
- 28:21Speaker 1: And that's not conjecture that the Coastal Commission literally said,
- 28:24Speaker 1: and I quote this is the Commission chair. We're dealing
- 28:27Speaker 1: with a company, the head of which has aggressively injected
- 28:30Speaker 1: himself into the presidential race, and that's one of the
- 28:32Speaker 1: reasons why they're saying SpaceX shouldn't be allowed to launch
- 28:36Speaker 1: the rockets that wants to launch from California. So it's
- 28:39Speaker 1: blatantly political. They're not even trying to hide it. And
- 28:41Speaker 1: as you said, he's doing what governments can't even dream
- 28:45Speaker 1: of accomplishing, and they're hamstringing him because they don't like
- 28:48Speaker 1: his tweets, I know.
- 28:49Speaker 4: And they're also embarrassed by what he's been able to
- 28:52Speaker 4: achieve with with money in pure gumptions in a bag
- 28:54Speaker 4: of the government NASA, I'm just going to go and
- 28:56Speaker 4: do it right, and he wanted to up his launches
- 28:59Speaker 4: in California from about thirty six to fifty and they
- 29:02Speaker 4: wouldn't let him do that. I mean, that is the
- 29:04Speaker 4: height and of peatiness. This bloke has done more for
- 29:08Speaker 4: space exploration and space technology, which is one of the
- 29:12Speaker 4: biggest growing industries in the world right now. He's done
- 29:15Speaker 4: more for that than anyone else ever has. And they
- 29:17Speaker 4: want to put a stop to it because they don't
- 29:19Speaker 4: like his political opinions and what he tweets and the
- 29:22Speaker 4: fact he's endorsing Donald Trump. It is unbelievable. I mean,
- 29:25Speaker 4: if they want to set that precedent that anyone who
- 29:28Speaker 4: gets involved in presidential races can't get involved in launching
- 29:32Speaker 4: rockets out of California or doing any other sort of
- 29:35Speaker 4: business in California. I look forward to them going after
- 29:38Speaker 4: all the major donors to the Democrats and say, are
- 29:40Speaker 4: you possibly set up shop here in California? You're too
- 29:44Speaker 4: involved in politics. And while we're talking about Elon Musk,
- 29:48Speaker 4: Liz mentioned before how he cut the workforce at Twitter
- 29:51Speaker 4: now X when he took it over.
- 29:54Speaker 2: Well, Donald Trump has now promised.
- 29:56Speaker 4: That if he wins the presidency back in just a
- 29:59Speaker 4: month or so's time that he will make Elon Musk
- 30:03Speaker 4: the Secretary of cost cutting.
- 30:05Speaker 2: Take a listen, and.
- 30:07Speaker 8: He's a great cost cutter.
- 30:08Speaker 2: You've seen that.
- 30:09Speaker 8: And he said I could cut costs without affecting anybody.
- 30:12Speaker 5: So he will be in the cabinet, not in the cabinet.
- 30:15Speaker 8: He doesn't want to be in the cave. He just
- 30:16Speaker 8: wants to be in charge of cost cutting. Who have
- 30:20Speaker 8: a new position, secretary of cost cutting? Okay, Elon wants
- 30:24Speaker 8: to do that, and we have incredible people. He's running
- 30:27Speaker 8: a big business. You know, he can't just say, oh,
- 30:29Speaker 8: I think I'll go into the cabinet. You know, other
- 30:31Speaker 8: people can.
- 30:31Speaker 2: He can't.
- 30:32Speaker 8: But Elon's a little bit different in that sense.
- 30:35Speaker 2: And you know what, I reckon he could do it.
- 30:37Speaker 4: And yes, James said before he's trying to create rockets
- 30:39Speaker 4: that can go into space and come back. Perhaps he
- 30:42Speaker 4: could design a rocket that will go into space and
- 30:44Speaker 4: not come back and put a lot of the public
- 30:46Speaker 4: service workforce in the US in it, never to be
- 30:49Speaker 4: seen again, particularly some in higher levels of the government.
- 30:53Speaker 4: Hopefully when and if he takes up this position. He
- 30:57Speaker 4: takes a leaf out of the Book of Harvey and Malay.
- 30:59Speaker 4: Of course, the Argentinian president who last year when he
- 31:03Speaker 4: came to the Rain said bagger all of this. I'm
- 31:06Speaker 4: getting rid of all the ministries. We're going back to basics.
- 31:11Speaker 4: We don't have to grab just yet. We'll show you
- 31:13Speaker 4: that in a minute. But good on him, Good on
- 31:15Speaker 4: Trump for saying, here is someone who has been successful
- 31:19Speaker 4: in business, has proven that he can take a business
- 31:22Speaker 4: that is overrun with staff and cut it down. And
- 31:25Speaker 4: what you can't tell me that X isn't working exactly
- 31:28Speaker 4: as well as it was before he bought it. We've
- 31:32Speaker 4: got the Harvey Malay grab back. This is what Elon
- 31:35Speaker 4: Musk hopefully will do to the United States.
- 31:53Speaker 2: I'll get that.
- 31:56Speaker 9: Looks then a mini mini Adao Ricuro.
- 32:20Speaker 4: I look forward to Musk performing a very similar video.
- 32:24Speaker 4: But but this is what is often lacking in politics.
- 32:26Speaker 4: I mean, you look at Australian politics in particular. You
- 32:29Speaker 4: have these career politicians people have never actually worked in the.
- 32:33Speaker 2: Real world, held down a real job, had to run
- 32:36Speaker 2: a business.
- 32:37Speaker 4: And Trump, a businessman himself, is saying, well, perhaps we
- 32:40Speaker 4: can just take a bit of real world reality here
- 32:43Speaker 4: and apply the same cost cutting measures that everyone in
- 32:46Speaker 4: business has had to applay over the last ten years
- 32:48Speaker 4: to government what a nobel idy.
- 32:50Speaker 1: The classic example of this in Australia is Senator just
- 32:53Speaker 1: Enter Price has tried five times to get the Senate
- 32:57Speaker 1: to agree to an audit of money spent on in
- 33:00Speaker 1: genous affairs, and five times the Australian Senate has said no,
- 33:03Speaker 1: we're not interested in auditing how taxpayer money is spent
- 33:07Speaker 1: in that regard. So you can well imagine why public
- 33:10Speaker 1: servants and government officials who have been drifting for years
- 33:14Speaker 1: are incredibly fearful of like an Elon Musk, coming in
- 33:17Speaker 1: and running a pencil over what they're doing, because many
- 33:20Speaker 1: of them would be out on their ear. He took
- 33:21Speaker 1: the Twitter workforce down from eight thousand to fifteen hundred,
- 33:26Speaker 1: and as regular users of Twitter, Twitter hasn't changed a
- 33:29Speaker 1: bit in terms of the services it provides and what
- 33:33Speaker 1: you I mean, you wouldn't even notice as a user,
- 33:35Speaker 1: So clearly no one. There are a lot of people
- 33:37Speaker 1: who were sitting around not doing a whole.
- 33:39Speaker 5: Lot, and every government should have this when you think
- 33:42Speaker 5: about it, if they're serious about how they're spending taxpayer
- 33:46Speaker 5: money that we all earn off sweat of our brows.
- 33:50Speaker 5: Surely every government would be devoted to cost cutting, cost
- 33:54Speaker 5: cutting where and when they can. And HARVEYMLA is a
- 33:56Speaker 5: perfect example. This guy, he only came to power in
- 34:00Speaker 5: December of last year, a cut public spending by thirty percent,
- 34:06Speaker 5: just over thirty percent, and in that short time saw
- 34:09Speaker 5: inflation in his country go from over twenty percent to
- 34:13Speaker 5: four point two percent. So it is just the proofs
- 34:17Speaker 5: in the put in. We all know where inflation comes from.
- 34:20Speaker 5: It's government spending. It's government just spending our dollars like
- 34:24Speaker 5: it's going out of fashion, and yet nobody wants to
- 34:28Speaker 5: do it. So to have Trump, a presidential candidate, say
- 34:31Speaker 5: oh no, we will absolutely be tackling this. Don't you
- 34:34Speaker 5: worry about that. And Elon Musk has himself tweeted this
- 34:38Speaker 5: was a tweet that he put up in August of
- 34:40Speaker 5: this year because he's been campaigning for this spot for
- 34:43Speaker 5: quite a wild Department of Government Efficiency. And there he
- 34:49Speaker 5: is with a very official looking Have we got the picture? Yes,
- 34:55Speaker 5: that of course is AI generated. But he's like, I
- 34:58Speaker 5: am ready to serve. Sign me up, I will be
- 35:01Speaker 5: the Secretary of Government Efficiency. But speaking of persecution of
- 35:07Speaker 5: Elon Musk, it isn't limited to the States. Check this out.
- 35:10Speaker 5: The UK is holding an upcoming international investment summit and
- 35:15Speaker 5: they've invited all the famous rich people from around the
- 35:18Speaker 5: world to congregate in the UK and talk about how
- 35:22Speaker 5: they can make life better. Check out this business. This
- 35:26Speaker 5: is the UK Business Secretary being taken to task by
- 35:29Speaker 5: a journalist who was asking him, you mean to tell
- 35:32Speaker 5: me you're getting all these people together and you didn't
- 35:36Speaker 5: think to invite Elon Musk? Why is that?
- 35:41Speaker 2: Why didn't you invite Elon Musk?
- 35:45Speaker 10: Desperate to get a company which sucks its employees by zoom,
- 35:50Speaker 10: but you're STUPHI about the biggest car maker in the
- 35:53Speaker 10: world because he's put something on social media didn't like. Okay,
- 35:57Speaker 10: I'm not going to comment on particular invitations. Particular person
- 36:02Speaker 10: is not some odd invitation. It is Elon Musk, biggest
- 36:06Speaker 10: can't make in the world, richest man in the world.
- 36:07Speaker 2: Why didn't you invite him?
- 36:09Speaker 10: Look, I'm not going to comment on the reasons for
- 36:11Speaker 10: any specific person.
- 36:13Speaker 5: Not going to comment on the reasons. Yeah, well we
- 36:16Speaker 5: all know the reasons because it's happening across the board.
- 36:20Speaker 5: As we just detailed. It's utterly disgusting, and it's simply
- 36:23Speaker 5: because they don't like where he stands politically exactly.
- 36:26Speaker 1: Hey, before we go to an ad break, we've got
- 36:28Speaker 1: to show you a clip from a reality TV show
- 36:30Speaker 1: called Dragon's Den, where aspiring entrepreneurs pitch their ideas to
- 36:35Speaker 1: potential investors. So a couple of young people pitch their
- 36:39Speaker 1: idea for bubble tea Bobba, I think is how you
- 36:42Speaker 1: pronounce their bubble tea. They boasted that they were going
- 36:45Speaker 1: to make this bubble tea better. And this is the
- 36:49Speaker 1: response they got from a potential investor who Simu lu
- 36:54Speaker 1: is a actor who plays roles in Marvel movies. He
- 36:57Speaker 1: started the Barbie movie. But have listened to his response
- 37:01Speaker 1: to their idea for bubble tea.
- 37:03Speaker 11: I am studying your can and I am looking for
- 37:08Speaker 11: anything that tells me where Boba came from, and where
- 37:13Speaker 11: Boba came from is Taiwan.
- 37:16Speaker 12: You know. I started this venture company for a lot
- 37:18Speaker 12: of reasons, but really primarily to uplift minority entrepreneurs. And
- 37:24Speaker 12: not only do I feel like this is not happening here,
- 37:27Speaker 12: but that I would be uplifting a business that is
- 37:31Speaker 12: profiting off of something that feels so dear to my
- 37:36Speaker 12: cultural heritage. I want to be a part of bringing
- 37:40Speaker 12: Boba to the masses, but not like this. So for
- 37:43Speaker 12: that reason, I'm out.
- 37:46Speaker 1: This is coming from the guy who started the Barbie movie.
- 37:49Speaker 1: For goodness sake. Is that not putting yourself into something
- 37:52Speaker 1: where you don't belong as an Asian personally if we're
- 37:55Speaker 1: going to play those games.
- 37:56Speaker 4: So you're suggesting it's cultural appropriation for a couple of
- 37:58Speaker 4: white people to be starting a business that's selling bubble tea, right,
- 38:02Speaker 4: And he says there that it's part of his cultural heritage,
- 38:05Speaker 4: it's from Taiwan. Well, he was born in mainland China,
- 38:10Speaker 4: and we know the relationship that mainland China has with Taiwan.
- 38:14Speaker 2: It's not his cultural heritage.
- 38:16Speaker 4: And by the way, babel tea was invented in the
- 38:18Speaker 4: early nineteen eighties, and how you can call that heritage
- 38:22Speaker 4: of any time, I don't.
- 38:23Speaker 5: Well it clearly it clearly agrees with the CCP's policy
- 38:27Speaker 5: Taiwan China. Therefore it is part of his cultural heritors.
- 38:31Speaker 1: A sad part of that story is the two entrepreneurs
- 38:34Speaker 1: apologize said, we've learned a lot. This has been a
- 38:36Speaker 1: great opportunity to get educated and we're going to have
- 38:39Speaker 1: a brand new marketing and branding strategy. There you go.
- 38:42Speaker 1: We're going to go to a break when we come back.
- 38:44Speaker 1: But look at what's making news tomorrow, including independent schools
- 38:48Speaker 1: to launch a nationwide campaign against the Greens and lead
- 38:50Speaker 1: up to the next election. That's cinema. Okay, let's take
- 38:56Speaker 1: a look at what's making news tomorrow. We'll start with
- 38:59Speaker 1: Melbourne's Herald Sun. Where the front page article. Actually, before
- 39:03Speaker 1: I get to that, just in the top right hand
- 39:05Speaker 1: corner for AFL fans, I got to point this out.
- 39:07Speaker 1: The headline says Magpie's land Dan Houston, who's one of
- 39:10Speaker 1: the greatest halfbacks in the league. But eighteen minutes ago
- 39:14Speaker 1: the story changed to North Melbourne. Look like they're going
- 39:17Speaker 1: to get Dan Houston all the collegood North Melbourne very blessed.
- 39:23Speaker 1: A wonderful story. All right, let's go to the main story.
- 39:26Speaker 1: Emotion really yeah, I'm not sure he'll be too happy
- 39:29Speaker 1: going to North Melbourne, but I'll be happy. The story
- 39:32Speaker 1: down in the bottom left hand corner, written by Alex White.
- 39:35Speaker 1: The headline reads, this Isn't All White a plan to
- 39:38Speaker 1: include white privileged training in a taxpayer funded cultural awareness
- 39:42Speaker 1: course for Victorian Justice Department workers has been labeled woke
- 39:46Speaker 1: and divisive. Well, wouldn't you know. Thousands of Department of
- 39:50Speaker 1: Justice and Community Safety staff have been told they've got
- 39:53Speaker 1: to undertake cultural awareness training that's in preparation for a treaty,
- 39:59Speaker 1: but they've also been told they'll have to do training
- 40:02Speaker 1: in white privilege. And many of the workers are pushing back,
- 40:06Speaker 1: reportedly saying, look, we're willing to do cultural training so
- 40:09Speaker 1: we can be more respectful and understanding of Indigenous culture.
- 40:13Speaker 1: But when you ask us to do training so we
- 40:15Speaker 1: can learn how privileged we are because of our malanin,
- 40:19Speaker 1: that's a step too far. I would argue the whole
- 40:21Speaker 1: thing is a step too far. But white privilege training
- 40:25Speaker 1: if you're a public servant, I mean, that's the height
- 40:28Speaker 1: of racism, isn't it, Because it assumes just because you're white,
- 40:32Speaker 1: therefore you've had every advantage and things automatically better for you.
- 40:36Speaker 1: There's a lot of white people in Victoria doing it
- 40:38Speaker 1: just as tough, if not worse than some Indigenous.
- 40:41Speaker 5: People, absolutely, because they don't get the same help from
- 40:44Speaker 5: the state that an Indigenous person would in their same situation.
- 40:48Speaker 5: One of the work has summed it up very handily
- 40:51Speaker 5: when he said, I don't feel that pointing out the
- 40:53Speaker 5: color of people's skin has worked in the past, so
- 40:56Speaker 5: why is it acceptable now to be doing this specifically
- 41:01Speaker 5: for white people. It is racism, There's absolutely no doubt
- 41:05Speaker 5: about it.
- 41:05Speaker 2: Everything old is new again.
- 41:07Speaker 4: Hey, I mean, you know, and you can imagine going
- 41:09Speaker 4: to that point, there'll be someone sitting in their office
- 41:12Speaker 4: doing their white privilege training, thinking, Hell, you know, I
- 41:15Speaker 4: got up at five point thirty this morning, I'm working
- 41:18Speaker 4: two jobs here, I am sitting in this office, having
- 41:22Speaker 4: caught the train in because I can't afford to put
- 41:24Speaker 4: the fuel in my car today.
- 41:25Speaker 2: And I'm being told that I have white privilege.
- 41:28Speaker 4: And I must bow down to everyone else. It makes
- 41:31Speaker 4: no sense whatsoever. But you've got to beat up on someone,
- 41:34Speaker 4: of course, And well, I suppose white people are just
- 41:36Speaker 4: as good a target as anyone else, and it's the
- 41:38Speaker 4: only target that seems to exist.
- 41:40Speaker 5: Now, well, I love that it's still sparked a backlash.
- 41:43Speaker 5: We need more backlashes. People, more of this. Please to
- 41:46Speaker 5: the front page of The Camera Times Now, where Bruce
- 41:49Speaker 5: Lemon has made the headlines yet again, this time because
- 41:54Speaker 5: his lawyer said that the only way he'll be able
- 41:57Speaker 5: to earn an income from now on is bad. That's
- 42:00Speaker 5: if he joins only fans. Get this only fans, Lamon's
- 42:04Speaker 5: last shot, court told. The headline reads, Bruce Lammon is
- 42:08Speaker 5: so unemployable his only chance of earning a salary would
- 42:12Speaker 5: be through an online subscription platform primarily used by sex workers.
- 42:16Speaker 5: His lawyer has claimed, quote the only shot he'd ever
- 42:20Speaker 5: have of making money would be going on only fans
- 42:23Speaker 5: or something silly like that, end quote. Solicitor Zalie Burrows
- 42:27Speaker 5: told the Federal Court on Monday, someone needs to remind
- 42:30Speaker 5: her she's the defendant. Lawyer ms Burrows made the unusual
- 42:35Speaker 5: remark as she argued her client should be allowed to
- 42:38Speaker 5: appeal a scathing sexual assault finding made against him. So
- 42:43Speaker 5: that's the context for it. She's trying to say, let
- 42:46Speaker 5: this guy appeal. Otherwise, no one's ever going to employ
- 42:49Speaker 5: him ever again. Although even if he were allowed, if
- 42:53Speaker 5: the Federal Court allowed him to appeal and drag this
- 42:56Speaker 5: on for even longer, surely, regardless of the outcome, who
- 43:01Speaker 5: is going to want to employ someone who is a walking,
- 43:05Speaker 5: talking poison chalice at this time who's.
- 43:07Speaker 1: Going to want to employ this solicitor. I mean to
- 43:09Speaker 1: argue my client is not a sex fiend, but I
- 43:12Speaker 1: reckon you do well on OnlyFans. It's hardly what you
- 43:15Speaker 1: want to hear your lawyer say. And if the lawyer
- 43:18Speaker 1: thinks that's his only chance, I think she overestimates his
- 43:21Speaker 1: chances on only fans exactly.
- 43:24Speaker 4: It's not his only chance of making money because he's
- 43:26Speaker 4: not going to make money on only fans. It's a
- 43:29Speaker 4: sicko is going to subscribe and pay money to look
- 43:32Speaker 4: at Bruce Lhreman not only fans.
- 43:35Speaker 1: Hope he wasn't paying her for those sort of comments.
- 43:37Speaker 4: The lawyer says that he is pretty much Australia's most
- 43:41Speaker 4: hated man.
- 43:43Speaker 2: I hadn't thought about him for quite a while. In
- 43:45Speaker 2: any story.
- 43:46Speaker 5: Popped up today reminding us Sally, I won't.
- 43:49Speaker 2: Be subscribing to any only fans in the future. I
- 43:51Speaker 2: can tell that's for free.
- 43:52Speaker 4: Let's go to the Australian tomorrow where it says dreaming
- 43:56Speaker 4: or drimped up mystery of the Blue Banded b D
- 44:00Speaker 4: And this goes back to talk about gold Mines earlier.
- 44:02Speaker 4: The artist behind the Blue Banded b murals cited by
- 44:06Speaker 4: federal Environment Minister Tanya Plipasik to justify her veto of
- 44:10Speaker 4: the Blameey gold Mine was a member of the main
- 44:13Speaker 4: resistance group against the one billion dollar project, and the
- 44:16Speaker 4: local government had never heard of the dreaming story.
- 44:20Speaker 2: Before the artwork was painted.
- 44:22Speaker 4: I mean, here we are again, more art being relied
- 44:24Speaker 4: on to make decisions about what minds can we going
- 44:28Speaker 4: here in this country. It's a mural depicting something that
- 44:31Speaker 4: no one had ever heard of, and all of a sudden,
- 44:34Speaker 4: it's the reason we can't about this.
- 44:35Speaker 1: It's a stupid thing about this story. As they're arguing
- 44:37Speaker 1: over the veracity of the claim, what has anyone heard
- 44:40Speaker 1: of this dreamtime story before? The veracity of the claim
- 44:43Speaker 1: is one thing. The relevance of the claim is the
- 44:46Speaker 1: real thing. The fact that there was a dream time
- 44:48Speaker 1: story should have no relevance at all on developments here
- 44:53Speaker 1: and now in the real world. Are we going to
- 44:55Speaker 1: go back to mythology as a basis for public policy.
- 44:58Speaker 1: That's where the labor government are going.
- 45:01Speaker 4: Tenure plipper Sick should have said, Telemy's dreaming when she
- 45:05Speaker 4: came across that mural.
- 45:06Speaker 2: Let's go back to the front of the OS tomorrow.
- 45:08Speaker 4: There's also you might see a photo on the right
- 45:11Speaker 4: hand side of the page that chose Anthony Albaneasy campaigning
- 45:15Speaker 4: with the Premier, Stephen Miles in Queensland, and you can
- 45:18Speaker 4: see that woman.
- 45:18Speaker 2: Recoiling in her seat, those two men being their love.
- 45:22Speaker 2: I don't blame you now.
- 45:24Speaker 1: The story's shielding a child.
- 45:27Speaker 5: He's like.
- 45:29Speaker 2: The class war.
- 45:31Speaker 4: We'll teach the Greens independent schools of preparing to launch
- 45:34Speaker 4: a nationwide campaign in Greens and marginal electorates calling out
- 45:38Speaker 4: the relentless and baseless vilification of private schools and urging
- 45:42Speaker 4: constituents not to support parties that would abolish their funding
- 45:46Speaker 4: and limit educational choices. So the schools are turning into
- 45:49Speaker 4: campaign outfits now, saying we've got to take up the fight.
- 45:52Speaker 1: I don't blame them to be, so they should be,
- 45:54Speaker 1: and they should be educating their students about the Greens
- 45:56Speaker 1: as well, so that they can cut off a potential
- 45:59Speaker 1: of Green's voters in the future. The independent schools have
- 46:01Speaker 1: not fought hard enough. They've sat back on their launchers,
- 46:04Speaker 1: hoping and praying for something to change. It's about time
- 46:07Speaker 1: they got in the front foot and did something absolutely. Otherwise,
- 46:10Speaker 1: parents are getting ripped off waiting.
- 46:12Speaker 5: For government to do the right thing by you. You
- 46:14Speaker 5: might as well just bury yourselves. You have to fight, fight, fight,
- 46:18Speaker 5: and these guys look like they're finally getting into the trenches.
- 46:22Speaker 1: We're going to go to a break, but stick around.
- 46:23Speaker 1: After the break, we want to show you the dumbest
- 46:26Speaker 1: criminals how they got caught with drugs after advertising where
- 46:28Speaker 1: the drugs were. That's coming up in a moment. Okay,
- 46:34Speaker 1: welcome back. This story did make me laugh when I
- 46:36Speaker 1: heard it, Caleb, these people must be the stupidest criminals.
- 46:40Speaker 2: And the unluckiest criminals too.
- 46:42Speaker 4: So these people are allegedly driving through Portland, Oregon in
- 46:45Speaker 4: a stolen car, said the coppers go, well, so Carlie
- 46:48Speaker 4: to pull it over and investigate who is inside. So
- 46:51Speaker 4: they questioned the occupants of the car, a man and
- 46:53Speaker 4: a woman, and in the process of searching the vehicle,
- 46:56Speaker 4: they find a bag labeled definitely not a bag full
- 47:01Speaker 4: of drugs.
- 47:02Speaker 2: Will lo and behold? The police opened up a.
- 47:04Speaker 4: Bag and what did they find inside but fentanyl and methamphetamine.
- 47:10Speaker 2: I mean, for Heaven's sake, why would you make the
- 47:13Speaker 2: job any easier for police?
- 47:15Speaker 4: And It reminds me of a story that we covered
- 47:17Speaker 4: at the advertisement. I was there years ago about a couple.
- 47:20Speaker 4: The wife had made a complaint to police that she'd
- 47:23Speaker 4: been the victim of domestic violence, and in the process,
- 47:26Speaker 4: the police sees the couple's laptop and went through the
- 47:30Speaker 4: laptop and they found a folder on the laptop that
- 47:32Speaker 4: said do not open delete if we die.
- 47:36Speaker 2: And they opened the folder as you would, and.
- 47:39Speaker 4: They found some rather unsavory videos still there that were illegal.
- 47:44Speaker 2: And of course they both ended up in court.
- 47:45Speaker 4: I mean, why would you make it any easier for
- 47:48Speaker 4: common do not open delete if we die?
- 47:50Speaker 2: Not a bag full of drugs? So dune, so dumb
- 47:53Speaker 2: they've are?
- 47:54Speaker 5: We leave you tonight. Gold Coast police had a very
- 47:57Speaker 5: exciting weekend. When checking out social media, they came across
- 48:01Speaker 5: a live stream of thirteen people on the roof of
- 48:05Speaker 5: the Rabina Town Center, two of them brandishing machetes and
- 48:09Speaker 5: all thirteen of the masked. So police rush down to
- 48:13Speaker 5: the town center draw their guns on these would be criminals,
- 48:18Speaker 5: only to find out they were live streaming a rap
- 48:22Speaker 5: music video home. So it all ended in nothing, but
- 48:27Speaker 5: of course they cut a very threatening figure and these
- 48:30Speaker 5: police thought they were rounding up thirteen criminals rampaging around
- 48:35Speaker 5: on the roof of this center, two machetes between them.
- 48:39Speaker 5: They said, oh, we were just recording a rap video.
- 48:41Speaker 5: We're trying to get our business famous. And the police
- 48:44Speaker 5: did actually charge one twenty four year old because they're like,
- 48:47Speaker 5: you can't go around brandishing a weapon for crying out loud.
- 48:51Speaker 1: If there's any record producers watching. These rappers are unsigned,
- 48:54Speaker 1: but I reckon the vision that they would have got
- 48:56Speaker 1: with the cops because the cops drew their guns. They did.
- 48:59Speaker 1: It's a great music video. Someone needs to sign them.
- 49:01Speaker 1: I think they do very well, Kayleb.
- 49:03Speaker 2: But doesn't this just prove the point that rap is
- 49:05Speaker 2: absolutely dross.
- 49:06Speaker 4: I mean, if you're watching music made by people who
- 49:08Speaker 4: wave machetes around, you need to reconsider a life choice
- 49:11Speaker 4: as far as I'm concerned.
- 49:13Speaker 1: Yeah, that's probably a good point. We're going to go now,
- 49:15Speaker 1: but stick around. Coming up is the Reader Penny Show.
