  Speaker 1: Line from the sky you Center.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: This is the Kenny Report.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining me.
• 0:07
  Speaker 3: Tonight, Donald Trump addresses his nation, commits to finishing the
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: job in Iran, threatens to bomb the regime to the
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: Stone Age, and vows to both escalate the war and
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: end it within weeks. I'll get analysis from Kristen Tate
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: on the defensive about his underwhelming address to this nation.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: Anthony Albernizi is now tackling gambling advertising Senator just into Namba.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Jimper Price will join me live.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: And if all this is uninspiring, there is something else
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: going on.
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: Three two one booster Ignition and liftoff Fortamus two now
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: bound for the Moon.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Just brilliant, isn't it after more than fifty years A
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: rocket to the moon. Also tonight's sport with Robbo as
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: AFL crowds are down and Mary Fowler signs Megadeal. Plus
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: our own national Cabinet with Mark Nicholson and Tim Blair.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Let's get into it.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: I think it was the first time Anthony Alberizi hasn't
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: let me down. Last night I told you his address
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: to the nation would be a weak and woke word salad,
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: that it had lacked the substance and the strength that
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: the country needs, and the PM delivered in spades. This
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: was shorter, less substantial, and less inspiring than anyone could
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: have imagined.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: It wasn't even live. He recorded it and played it out.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Like some cheap infomercial. One wag on social media provided
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: an accurate review via Seinfeld.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: I think I can sum up the show for you
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: with one word.
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: Nothing, nothing nothing.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: What does that mean? The show is about nothing?
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a Seinfeld moment for everything, isn't there? And
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: this address to the nation of grandiose term for just
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: over three minutes of waffle was pointless for everyone except Albot.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Albo got to remind everyone that while he might seem
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: like the man who isn't there, he's actually still Prime Minister.
• 2:22
  Speaker 6: On Monday, National Cabinet adopted the National Fuel Security Plan,
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: lead us from both sides of politics, from right around
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: the country working together to keep Australia moving.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Keep Australia Moving. An update on Julia Gillard's Moving Forward
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: What Genius After decades of warnings about a lack of
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: fuel storage and security, after decades of scaling back our
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: fuel self sufficiency, Albernizi's Cabinet came up with a plan
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: on Monday, four weeks after the Iran war began.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Governance.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: That's culpability and how to listen to the PM's complete
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: lack of detail about improving this situation.
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: We are working to bring the price of fuel down,
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: to make more fuel here and to keep it on shore.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Apart from reminding everyone that he's adopted the opposition's idea
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: of a temporary cut in fuel excise, that was it.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: So let's see how.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: The PM's effort measured up against the criteria I set
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: for him.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Last night.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: He provided no update on when or how we'd meet
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: our ninety days of fuel storage obligation. He told us
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: nothing about how we'd produce or refine more oil, and
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: there was nothing on future energy security needs, overriding United
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Nations climate goals and on the strategic issues.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: There was no support for.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: The US and Israel in their war against Iran. In
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: fact our how easy was keen to keep his distance?
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: The war in the Middle East has caused the biggest
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: spike in petrol and diesel prices in history. Australia's not
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: an active participant in this war.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Well, we have sent a battle command aircraft and dozens
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: of support staff to help defend the Gulf States, but
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: they didn't rate a shout out, apparently Albanese. He also
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: failed to mention Iran's sponsorship of terrorism around the world
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: and how the world needed to eradicate that. Neither did
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: he even try to explain how he'd repair relations with
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: Israel and our indispensable defense ally the United States. So
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: the PM failed to tick a single box. It was
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: like a fuel crisis update from Uncle Arthur.
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: Enjoy your Easter and if you're hitting the road, don't
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: take more fuel than you need, just fill up like
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: you normally would.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Thanks PM, who would have of that.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Hey, This address to the nation was so underwhelming that
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: even when the PM spoke to his cheer squad at
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: the National Press Club today, he spent longer defending his
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: address than he actually spent delivering it.
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: Now they're getting it on their device at selling them
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: all sorts of things that aren't true. So I took
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: the opportunity to talk directly directly.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: To the nation.
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: That is more important than ever because the nature of
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: noise that is out there, the conspiracy theories that are
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: out there, which are allowed which propagate which we can't
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: do anything about. And that's why directly talking to people
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: is an important opportunity. And I think it was worth
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: three minutes and seventeen seconds.
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: To do so.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Really, he did it for us. This was the only
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: way for us to get the truth. That's how far
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: his spin has taken him from the real world. For
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: the rest of us, it's three minutes and seventeen seconds
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: of our lives that will never get back. Obviously inspired
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: by Anthony Albanese's address to the Nation, not really, Donald
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: Trump addressed the United States from the Oval Office Wednesday night,
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: US time midday today Australian Eastern Time. Despite speculation the
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: President would be looking to announce an end to the
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: war against Iran, Trump vowed to finish the job.
• 6:40
  Speaker 8: We're going to hit them extremely hard over the next
• 6:43
  Speaker 8: two to three weeks. We're going to bring them back
• 6:47
  Speaker 8: to the Stone Ages where they belong. If there is
• 6:49
  Speaker 8: no deal, we are going to hit each and every
• 6:52
  Speaker 8: one of their electric generating plans very hard, and probably simultaneously.
• 6:58
  Speaker 8: We have not hit their oil, even though that's the
• 7:01
  Speaker 8: easiest target of all, because it would not give them
• 7:04
  Speaker 8: even a small chance of survival. Or rebuilding.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Now, this was the part of the speech that was
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: aimed directly at the Iranian leadership, typically robust threats from
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: the President coupled with suggestions the Iranians ought to look
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: at for an off ramp. Despite talk of negotiations, the
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: reality is there is no direct dialogue between Washington and Tehran.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: And one of the three intended audiences for Trump's address
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: was the mullers in Iran. The President is pushing them
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: to surrender or do a deal. Another Trump audience was global,
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: various US allies around the place. He applauded the Gulf
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: states who have suffered attacks from Iran.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: He invited other allies to do more and.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: Get involved in keeping the strait of Humus open, and
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: he put the blame for surging oil prices firmly on Iran.
• 7:59
  Speaker 8: The short term increase has been entirely the result of
• 8:02
  Speaker 8: the Iranian regime launching deranged terror attacks against commercial oil
• 8:07
  Speaker 8: tankers and neighboring countries that have nothing to do with
• 8:10
  Speaker 8: the conflict. This is yet more proof that Iran can
• 8:15
  Speaker 8: never be trusted with nuclear weapons.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: And the third audience for Trump's remarks was the most
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: important one for him. The American public who are losing
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: patients with higher fuel prices and yet another Middle East war.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: Trump reasserted the rationale for the war, assured Americans that
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: the job was almost done, and he predicted the benefits.
• 8:38
  Speaker 8: Tonight, every American can look forward to a day when
• 8:41
  Speaker 8: we are finally free from the wickedness of Iranian aggression
• 8:44
  Speaker 8: and the specter of nuclear blackmil Because of the actions
• 8:49
  Speaker 8: we have taken, we are on the cusp of ending
• 8:51
  Speaker 8: iran sinister threat to America and the world.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: And I'll tell you, the.
• 8:56
  Speaker 8: World is watching. And when we do, when it's all over,
• 9:01
  Speaker 8: the United States will be safer, stronger, more prosperous, and
• 9:05
  Speaker 8: greater than it has ever been before. May God bless
• 9:09
  Speaker 8: the men and women of the United States Armed Forces,
• 9:12
  Speaker 8: and may God bless the United States of America.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: Iran responded initially by firing more missiles at Israel, and
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: the realization of the war is likely to last at
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: least weeks longer and could soon escalate.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: That sense stock markets around the world backwards. But for
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: those hoping for a more stable Middle East from this
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: war and possible regime change in Iran, the president's persistence does.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Keep hopes alive.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: I have more on this with Kristen Tate in the
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: US later in the program.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Okay, let's get back to Albo.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: Also in his National Press Club Agress address today, he
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: confirmed a loan scheme to help small businesses who are
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: hurt by the fuel crisis, and he's also announced another
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: six cents e leader coming off fuel prices as the
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: States agree to give up the extra GST the price
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: hikes have given them. But the PM also blamed the
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: nation's fuel problems on previous governments, as if he'd been
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: elected four weeks ago rather than four years ago.
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: This approach put our nation in this position of vulnerability.
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: It certainly will not take us out of it, and
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: that is why our government is taking a different path,
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: investing in a future Made in Australia, bringing new energy online, cleaner,
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: cheaper power that we generate, store and control for ourselves.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Well, he's completely in denial, isn't he.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: Future Made in Australia is a thirty billion dollar boondog,
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: well focused on the so called renewable energy transition. It's
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: making our energy situation worse, not better. For instance, apart
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: from wind and solar projects, it's blown billions on failed
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: green hydrogen projects, just another energy disaster under labor. Now
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: I also should mention that Angus Taylor, the Opposition leader,
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: will respond to Anthony alban Easy tonight he gets a
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: national address of his own. Will be airing that live
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: here at Sasky News at seven o'clock. Seven o'clock the
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: address from Angus Taylor, and I can tell you that
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: he's going to say we need to dig and drill
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: for more oil in Australia. He's going to say that
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: Labor have failed to be transparent, They've been forced into
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: action and making information available by the opposition. And he's
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: going to say it's time to dig and drill and
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: also to repair our national economy so that we've got
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: more economic resilience. Let's go to the shadow Minister for
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: Small Business just sent to Namba. Jimpa Price joins us
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: from Alice Springs. Good to talk to you again, Jacinta.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Good to have you to your thoughts.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: First up, from Anthony Albanesi's address to the nation, was
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: it worthwhile?
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: What do you think was his main aim?
• 12:13
  Speaker 9: Oh?
• 12:13
  Speaker 7: Look, I think many of us are still trying to
• 12:15
  Speaker 7: figure out what the Prime Minister's main aim was, you know,
• 12:20
  Speaker 7: the whole nation were on standby, poised for something that
• 12:26
  Speaker 7: we thought was going to be very serious, some very
• 12:29
  Speaker 7: serious messaging for us going forward, but instead we just
• 12:33
  Speaker 7: got reruns basically nothing new, nothing transparent or open, No
• 12:38
  Speaker 7: plan from this government as to how they're going to
• 12:42
  Speaker 7: address the fuel crisis and sure up our sovereign capabilities,
• 12:48
  Speaker 7: our fuel storage issues going into the future. Nothing on
• 12:53
  Speaker 7: sort of our position in terms of the conflict in.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: The Middle East.
• 12:58
  Speaker 7: Anything like that was free advertising, as has been suggested
• 13:04
  Speaker 7: by many I think around the country and australianers a
• 13:10
  Speaker 7: left sort of scratching their heads as to what exactly
• 13:14
  Speaker 7: was the Prime Minister trying to relay. I mean, on
• 13:18
  Speaker 7: one hand, he's telling everybody that there's nothing to worry about.
• 13:21
  Speaker 7: Just go about your Easter and the time ahead as usual,
• 13:26
  Speaker 7: but then maybe consider utilizing public transport and try to
• 13:32
  Speaker 7: work home if you work at home if you can.
• 13:35
  Speaker 10: So there was no clarity and he made it.
• 13:39
  Speaker 7: He sounded confused ultimately in the end, when he should
• 13:42
  Speaker 7: have been providing some level of clarity and a plan
• 13:45
  Speaker 7: going forward.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: Now the real worry I think for the nation is
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: the medium to long term that is he's showing no
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: signs of understanding the problem here. In fact, as I
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: just showed, he's going to double down on this Future
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: Made in Australia plan, which is all about renewable energy.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: I thought the one thing he should have learned in
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: the last four weeks, it's just how heavily we rely.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: On fossil fuels.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: Now, Angus Taylor, tonight, your leader at seven o'clock will
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: be telling the nation that we need to dig and
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: drill for more fossil fuels in this country, produce more
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: oil in this country and refined here. I mean, that's
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: obviously what we need to do for greater self reliance.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: But that'll be very difficult to do. Why there's all
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: sorts of exploration bands right around the country, all sorts
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: of environmental impediments that will be thrown your way.
• 14:31
  Speaker 7: And look, and this is all part of the green
• 14:34
  Speaker 7: indulging in this green fantasy that mister Bowen that the
• 14:39
  Speaker 7: Prime Minister have been utterly you know, sending this country
• 14:45
  Speaker 7: down the whole with. But this is what the government,
• 14:50
  Speaker 7: the Prime Minister need to act on immediately to release
• 14:55
  Speaker 7: us from this. They need to dump net zero for
• 14:58
  Speaker 7: starters because that is what is holding us back, that
• 15:02
  Speaker 7: is what is putting a chain around our own developing
• 15:05
  Speaker 7: our own energy resources in this country. This Prime Minister
• 15:10
  Speaker 7: has created a multi crisis. We've got a debt crisis
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: where we're hurtling toward one trillion in debt. We've got
• 15:17
  Speaker 7: an inflation crisis that Australians are feeling all over the place.
• 15:21
  Speaker 7: We've got this energy crisis which has come about because
• 15:25
  Speaker 7: of this indulging in this green fantasy, which has increased
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: the cost of energy in our country by forty percent,
• 15:31
  Speaker 7: and everybody's feeling it.
• 15:33
  Speaker 10: A housing, an immigration crisis.
• 15:36
  Speaker 7: Where if anyone thought young people right now, it's worth
• 15:40
  Speaker 7: are worse off than any other time when at their
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: age in this current generation, and if they thought that
• 15:47
  Speaker 7: they had a dream of home ownership, it's turning into
• 15:50
  Speaker 7: an absolute nightmare.
• 15:52
  Speaker 10: Manufacturing crisis.
• 15:53
  Speaker 7: You know you suggested you're talking about a future made
• 15:55
  Speaker 7: in Australia.
• 15:56
  Speaker 10: There is no future made in Australia under this government.
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: This is a fewture made a broad with a hell
• 16:03
  Speaker 7: of a lot of importing going on into this country.
• 16:07
  Speaker 10: And there's a small business crisis.
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: And it is heartbreaking speaking to small businesses around the
• 16:13
  Speaker 7: country that are faced with the cost of running their business,
• 16:17
  Speaker 7: which has just gone through the roof now because.
• 16:19
  Speaker 10: Of this fuel crisis, just.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: On small business.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: One of the schemes confirmed today by the Prime Minister
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: was a billion dollar scheme to provide interest free loans
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: to small business who were hit hard by the energy crisis.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Do you support that measure?
• 16:33
  Speaker 7: Look, businesses, small businesses don't want to once again be
• 16:39
  Speaker 7: beholden to the government through loans. They don't need more loans.
• 16:44
  Speaker 7: They just need breathing space. They need the regulatory burden
• 16:49
  Speaker 7: that this government has unleashed upon them to be pulled back.
• 16:53
  Speaker 7: They need tax breaks, they need the cost of energy
• 16:57
  Speaker 7: to come down.
• 16:58
  Speaker 10: That's what they need right now. We don't need another.
• 17:01
  Speaker 7: Round of debt foist upon them to become even more
• 17:06
  Speaker 7: beholden to this government than they already are. Ultimately, and
• 17:11
  Speaker 7: this is why this government has no long term plan.
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: It's all knee jerk reactions. And we know that when
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: they spend more of the tax payer dollars than inflation
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: increases and cost.
• 17:21
  Speaker 10: Of everything goes up once more. So yeah, look, what
• 17:26
  Speaker 10: can I say?
• 17:26
  Speaker 7: This government is hopeless, This Prime Minister is hopeless. Anthony
• 17:30
  Speaker 7: Albanezi and Chris Bowen should hang their heads in shame,
• 17:35
  Speaker 7: as should Jim Charmers.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: Well, the new initiative that he released today, totally unrelated
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: to this fuel crisis, was a new ban on gambling advertising.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Here's some more from the Prime Minister.
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: We are getting the balance right, letting adults have a
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: punt if they want to, but making sure that our
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: children don't see betting ads everywhere they look, because we
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: don't want kids going up thinking that footy and gambling
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: are inextricably linked.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: All right, So there he goes there, All right, everybody
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: wants to protect kids from gambling.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Kids shouldn't be gambling.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: But these advands he's put in, it's going to strip
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: sponsorship off for NRL and other sporting teams. It's going
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: to strip advertising away from television at radio at certain
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: at certain times. Is the coalition going to support these changes?
• 18:26
  Speaker 11: Oh?
• 18:27
  Speaker 7: Look, you know we all want reasonable gambling measures to
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: keep our communities safe, obviously, but I think right now
• 18:36
  Speaker 7: the Prime Minister isn't breeding the room. You know, he's
• 18:39
  Speaker 7: worrying about gambling reforms while small businesses, while family is
• 18:45
  Speaker 7: around the country are being completely and utterly smashed with
• 18:51
  Speaker 7: this current crisis. It's almost like, Okay, I've delivered my
• 18:56
  Speaker 7: underwhelming address to the nation, and I'm going to turn
• 19:00
  Speaker 7: my attention to something else over here. You know, we'll
• 19:04
  Speaker 7: have a further look at this going forward. But I
• 19:06
  Speaker 7: think there are issues that are really important right now
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: that need to be dealt with that this government is
• 19:11
  Speaker 7: simply not dealing with.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: In principle, though, do you think gambling advertising needs stricter controls?
• 19:18
  Speaker 10: Yeah, look, in principle I believe so.
• 19:22
  Speaker 7: And these are all things to be considered going forward
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: when we can take a closer look.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: Also, thanks for joining us to center, and Happy Easter
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: to you and your family.
• 19:30
  Speaker 10: Happy ether to you and all your viewers.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Just sent to now.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: But jimper Price there now, this is a gambling advertising
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: one is a difficult one because we'll want to get
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: rid of problem gambling. I'm work for an organization that
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: takes advertising. I couldn't tell you off the top of
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: my head whether Sky News takes ads on gambling or not,
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: but it's always a cop out. I think for the
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: politicians to ban advertising and pass the burden onto someone else.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: I mean, if there's problem gambling, attack the problem. If
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: there's something that should be illegal, make it illegal.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: It seems always a cop out on so many issues.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: They banned the advertising and let commercial media carry the can.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: In effect.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: We'll follow this up, no doubt in coming days on
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: Sky News. I don't know how some of these NROL
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: clubs are going to deal with it when they have
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: beg gambling sponsorships right across their gunsies. Anyway, let's get
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: back on to the US issues. I told you about
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: what Donald Trump had to say today. I caught up
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: with our US analyst Kristen Tate earlier today, who of
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: course watched the address in the US, and I started
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: off by just getting an overall impression.
• 20:33
  Speaker 11: Well, you know, the whole nation was tuning in, and
• 20:36
  Speaker 11: it actually ended up sounding more like a progress report
• 20:38
  Speaker 11: than a strategy. We didn't hear too much tonight that
• 20:43
  Speaker 11: Trump hadn't already said. He kind of reiterated that he
• 20:47
  Speaker 11: hopes to have this wrapped up in the next few weeks,
• 20:49
  Speaker 11: which I think a lot of Americans appreciated hearing, but
• 20:52
  Speaker 11: there were some mixed signals on escalation. He repeatedly said
• 20:56
  Speaker 11: the end is near, but he also threatened a lot
• 20:59
  Speaker 11: of additionals, including on energy infrastructure, So there were some
• 21:02
  Speaker 11: mixed signals there. Immediately after the speech, stocks fell and
• 21:08
  Speaker 11: oil jumped because of his comments. I think oil rose
• 21:11
  Speaker 11: like five percent. He talked about, you know, escalations, that
• 21:15
  Speaker 11: was clearly driving that. Why do I think he gave
• 21:18
  Speaker 11: this address, Chris, It's because here in America his approval
• 21:22
  Speaker 11: ratings are falling. Right now, He's sitting around thirty five
• 21:26
  Speaker 11: percent approval, and the decline in his approval ratings over
• 21:30
  Speaker 11: the last week or two is primarily with his core supporters,
• 21:34
  Speaker 11: many of whom support is real. You know, they don't.
• 21:37
  Speaker 11: No one's weeping for the Iranian regime that was taken out. However,
• 21:41
  Speaker 11: this is taking a lot of American treasure and frankly,
• 21:44
  Speaker 11: a lot of attention from our leaders when people are
• 21:47
  Speaker 11: still suffering here at home. Prices are high, We're forty
• 21:50
  Speaker 11: trillion dollars in debt in this country, and we are
• 21:54
  Speaker 11: still waiting on mass deportations as we were promised by Trump.
• 21:57
  Speaker 11: So I think the decline and support is come from
• 22:01
  Speaker 11: his base, and he's trying to just reassure them, Hey,
• 22:03
  Speaker 11: this is going to get wrapped up soon. I've got
• 22:05
  Speaker 11: it under control.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought there are number of interesting aspects to
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: the speech.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: I agree with you.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: It was very much pitched to the American audience that
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: this thing is not going to go on much longer.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: We're going to get there.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: But it was also very threatening to the Iranian regime,
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: threatening them and trying to push them into surrendering or
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: doing a deal. I suppose let's have a look at
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: some of the comments here. You mentioned some of it
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: is contradictory. This segment of the speech from Donald Trump
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: suggests the job is pretty much done.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Have a look, We've done all of it.
• 22:36
  Speaker 8: Their navy is gone, their air force is gone, their
• 22:39
  Speaker 8: missiles are just about used.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Up or beaten.
• 22:43
  Speaker 8: Taken together, these actions will cripple around military, crush their
• 22:47
  Speaker 8: ability to support terrorist proxies, and deny them the ability
• 22:51
  Speaker 8: to build a nuclear bomb. Our armed forces have been extraordinary.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty important wrap up there suggests it's almost done,
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: and also reiterating the justification, the rationale for the war,
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: denying it the opportunity around that is to run as
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: terrorist proxies or get a nuclear bomb.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Of course, but in.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: Other segments of the speech he says he's going to
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: bum them back into the Stone Age. So is the
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: job nearly done or has he really got a lot
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: of work to do.
• 23:23
  Speaker 11: I'm hopeful it's almost done. This is a very common
• 23:26
  Speaker 11: Trump tactic that he uses where he will apply pressure
• 23:30
  Speaker 11: in order to reach a deal to kind of scare
• 23:32
  Speaker 11: whoever's on the opposing side. And I really pray it
• 23:35
  Speaker 11: works here, Chris, because if it doesn't, we could be
• 23:38
  Speaker 11: facing a drawn out situation that could be extremely expensive, bloody,
• 23:42
  Speaker 11: and not to mention, it could just be devastating politically.
• 23:46
  Speaker 11: We see the midterms coming. People are not happy with
• 23:49
  Speaker 11: what's going on over in Iran. They want this to end.
• 23:52
  Speaker 11: But if Trump's gamble and how he's handling this it
• 23:55
  Speaker 11: doesn't pay off. It could cost Republicans dearly, which would
• 23:59
  Speaker 11: cost the country dearly because we've seen how crazy the
• 24:01
  Speaker 11: Democrats are. If they get a big success in November
• 24:05
  Speaker 11: and then again in two years in the White House
• 24:07
  Speaker 11: because of this stuff going on in Iran, then you
• 24:10
  Speaker 11: can say goodbye to secure borders. You can say hello
• 24:13
  Speaker 11: to more crazy spending and just more instability in this country.
• 24:17
  Speaker 11: So there's a lot on the line here. I also
• 24:19
  Speaker 11: want to note there was no mention about what's going
• 24:22
  Speaker 11: to happen in Iran when all of this sort of
• 24:25
  Speaker 11: wraps up, when we're complete, when our mission is completed there,
• 24:28
  Speaker 11: what are we expecting to happen? How do you define
• 24:31
  Speaker 11: actually being done with our operations there? So there was
• 24:36
  Speaker 11: a lack of clarity, But yes, I do think a
• 24:37
  Speaker 11: lot of people were happy to hear that Trump does
• 24:40
  Speaker 11: want to finish this soon, get the job done and
• 24:43
  Speaker 11: get out. And he's a deal maker, so you know,
• 24:45
  Speaker 11: maybe he will be able to do that.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, at the risk of standing like night by
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: Guisi in those fimous set of thy not Live clips.
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: The question of what happens in Iran afterwards, nobody knows.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: So we'll see on that. There's some interesting.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: Aspects when it comes to allies of the US. Donald
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: Trump had a lot of sympathy for his Middle East allies.
• 25:06
  Speaker 8: Today have a look, and we are going to finish
• 25:09
  Speaker 8: the job, and we're going to finish it very fast.
• 25:11
  Speaker 8: We're getting very close. I want to thank our allies
• 25:14
  Speaker 8: and the Middle East, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Guitar, the UAE,
• 25:20
  Speaker 8: Kuwait and Bahrain. They've been great and we will not
• 25:24
  Speaker 8: let them get hurt or fail in any way.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: Shape or form.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: So sympathy there for the Middle East allies who have
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: worn some of the damage of this war, but not
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: much sympathy for the other allies in Europe and elsewhere Australia,
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: the UK, France and others who haven't really helped out much.
• 25:45
  Speaker 8: Have a look so to those countries that can't get fuel,
• 25:49
  Speaker 8: many of which refuse to get involved in the decapitation
• 25:53
  Speaker 8: of Iran. We had to do it ourselves. I have
• 25:56
  Speaker 8: a suggestion. Number one, by oil from the United States
• 25:59
  Speaker 8: of America. We have plenty, We have so much. And
• 26:02
  Speaker 8: number two, build up some delayed courage. Should have done
• 26:05
  Speaker 8: it before, should have done it with us as we asked.
• 26:08
  Speaker 8: Go to the Strait and just take it, protect it,
• 26:13
  Speaker 8: use it for yourselves.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Build up some carriage and get involved.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: Is the President's called to those allies Christian it.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: We can understand it. But he never went to them
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: before the war.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: He says that they haven't helped doubt but they would
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: never ask to until after the wolve Again.
• 26:32
  Speaker 11: Yeah, you know, I really don't like the way Trump
• 26:35
  Speaker 11: has dealt with our especially our European allies, during this issue. Yes,
• 26:40
  Speaker 11: I know you're up as crazy and liberal and we
• 26:42
  Speaker 11: can all make fun of them for that and point
• 26:45
  Speaker 11: out the problems there, but we need those allies. These
• 26:47
  Speaker 11: are other Western countries. We need them. We don't want
• 26:50
  Speaker 11: to push them further away. And it's understandable why a
• 26:54
  Speaker 11: lot of these countries don't want to get involved. They
• 26:56
  Speaker 11: never asked for this conflict. And frankly, this conflict in
• 26:59
  Speaker 11: Iran is probably going to spur a new migrant and
• 27:01
  Speaker 11: refugee crisis. Europe is going to have to bear the
• 27:04
  Speaker 11: brunt of that, and I'm sure, given all the issues
• 27:06
  Speaker 11: going on there right now, that is the last thing
• 27:08
  Speaker 11: they want to deal with. So it's great to see
• 27:11
  Speaker 11: Trump appreciating our Middle East allies. Our allies in the
• 27:14
  Speaker 11: Middle East are very important, but we can't forget about
• 27:16
  Speaker 11: our European allies, and of course Australia our greatest ally.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: Well, many more questions left to be answered after that address.
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: I suppose the key takeout though, is that Donald Trump
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: says he's going to finish the job.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Thanks so much for joining us, Kristen.
• 27:33
  Speaker 11: Thank you very much, Chris.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: It's nice that Kristin still sees US as of America's
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: greatest ally. I don't think Donald Trump shares that particular view.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: Just at the moment, we shall see. We're going to
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: take a break. After the break, going across to Mildura
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: and find out how the fuel crisis is affecting farmers
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: and how it's going to affect our food prices. We
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: talked about how tough this fuel crisis is for small business.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: It's especially hard for our farmers as well. Let's catch
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: up with shadow regional Health Minister and Webster in the
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: Victorian city of Mildura in the sun Rage. I worked
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: at Mildura for about three weeks a million years ago, and.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: But good to talk to you again.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: I signed up with the Redhill Footy Club and was
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: there a few weeks and then shot through. But anyway,
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: we'll talk about that another time. Tell us a shame.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: Tell us about the fuel crisis.
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: Now, the first question I have is about seeding right now.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: Obviously it changes with different crops and climates around the country.
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: But my understanding in your neck of the woods, in
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: the malley where people are looking to sew, they're wheat
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: or barley, this is the time of the year you'd
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: be looking. If you've got enough rain, now's the time
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: to get it. In right, and so apart from the rain,
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: the one thing you need is diesel.
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: Who knew that's exactly right, Chris. And in fact, we've
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: had heavy rain events early and surprisingly we've had our
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: entire year annual rainfall in two days about four weeks ago. Farmers,
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: I know, it's great news. But then of course the
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: fuel crisis hit, and so farmers have been going, well,
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: if I can seed the ground now, put the seed in,
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: am I going to have fuel to harvest it later on?
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: Because they have to have that long term perspective obviously,
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: And the problem is they don't have that confidence. Many
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: of the farmers are getting their half quantity of diesel
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: at the moment, they're not getting full quantities, so they're
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: not sure. They're certainly paying a lot more as everyone is,
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: and the excise cut makes no difference to them anyway
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: as their business. And so they've had to make decisions
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: do we plant wheat and ballei which require more tending,
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: more spraying, etc. Or do we plant vetch and lentils
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: and things that are actually a lower value crop. So
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: the problem with that is it is going to mean
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: different harvest if they do make that decision, it will
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: mean different harvest and a different outcome towards the end
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: of the year, and of course we don't know how
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: long this fuel crisis is going to go on for.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a really tough decision for them because it's
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: a matter of spending a lot of money, investing a
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: lot of money and a potential crop.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: They mostly would have time on their.
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: Side, they wouldn't they They wouldn't have to make a
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: final decision about sewing crops for another month loss two.
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: No, with the reign event, it actually brings it earlier.
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: So a lot of them are under pressure right now. PVC,
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: by the way, is up fifty percent according to Citrus Australia,
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: and Urea's up twenty five percent if you can get it.
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: And then, of course, in my electorate, the Magnificent Malle,
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: I've got to say, we also have a lot of horticulture,
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: so we've got grapes being harvested, we've got citrus, and
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: we've got farmers who are saying, but I don't know
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: whether they can afford the fuel to get the citrus
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: to Melbourne and then be able to sell it because
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: it's too expensive and agents are telling them we won't
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: be able to buy it for that, So do they
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: just let it fall off the tree and we have
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: no fruit. This is going to hit supermarket shelves and
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: it's going to hit families very very soon.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a huge problem. That's where I wanted to
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: go with the next question.
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: Of course, we're worried sick about the all the farmers
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: and the horticulturalists and the likely and they're all small
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: business people effectively, and the huge problems. I've got the
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: costs and the uncertainty. But how certain are we that
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: this will flow through the consumers as well? With the
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: scarcity of some produce prices going up, and you know,
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: even I suppose most of the week we're looking at
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: exports there. But the impact of this across the economy
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: could be quite disastrous, couldn't it.
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: It is and their fuel costs, of course, the Prime
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: Minister and all his wisdom, has said that the trucking
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: companies can pass on that fuel cost as a levee
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: to whoever needs to use their transport vehicles. That's great.
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: Farmers don't have that luxury their price takers, as we know,
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: and so how this is going to impact them in
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: the long term is a worry. I've had somebody right
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: to me today and say, well, is the Economic Resilience
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: Fund apply to us? It applies to transport, and it
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: applies to manufacturers or refiners of fuel and urea. But
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: there's no clarity from the Prime Minister, like his speech
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: to the nation last night, there's no clarity from the
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: Prime Minister as to whether farmers are able to get
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: those no interest loans, which is what they're looking for.
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: They may be forced into that position where they have
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: to go deeper into debt. I spoke to one farmer.
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: He's got a six million dollar loan. Like people don't
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: understand how much money is on the line to run
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: a farm.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: Thanks for joining us and I appreciate you keeping us
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: up to date and have a great Easter. And Webster
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: there in mill Dura. We're gonna get to a break.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: On the other side, we'll catch up with Robbie and
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: talk about sport. AFL crowds are down, some interesting reasons
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: behind that, and Mary Fowler has signed a megadeal, The
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: Matilda's Start. Let's get into some sport with Footy Rider
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: Sports ut broadcaster Mark Robbo Robinson. Good to talk to you, mate,
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: I've got to raise something I wanted to mention on
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: the show earlier in the week and I haven't gone
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: around to it. We're right into footy season, but it
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: was the wrap up of the cricket season, the Sheffield
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: Shield Final. My mob the South OSSI's beat your mob
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: the Victorians.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: It was a ripping game and the.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: Person who turned it, of course, was the Aussie wicket
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: keeper Alex Carey.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah he's a superstar, isn't it.
• 33:56
  Speaker 12: I mean, I knew you'd bring this up, being back
• 34:00
  Speaker 12: back Sheffield cheer.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: It's a real pity that the Sheffield Shield standing isn't
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: what it was.
• 34:06
  Speaker 12: You know, when I was grown up, When we were
• 34:07
  Speaker 12: growing up, the Sheffield Chield was considered the best domestic
• 34:11
  Speaker 12: competition in the world and they got their right for
• 34:14
  Speaker 12: all press coverage. It doesn't exist as much these days,
• 34:17
  Speaker 12: but it's a terrific effort and it's still a very
• 34:20
  Speaker 12: very high class cricket competition in South Australia.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: They do very very well in that field, don't they.
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they sure do. They've turned it around. Hasn't always
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: been the case. But one thing I really loved about it,
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: Robo and I'm keen to get your thoughts on it.
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: First up, let's have a look at a little bit
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: of what I Alex Carey had to say.
• 34:40
  Speaker 13: I love playing for the State and representing the state.
• 34:42
  Speaker 13: Has it do the country It's yeah, it's a great
• 34:46
  Speaker 13: group of guys that spend a lot of time pretty much,
• 34:49
  Speaker 13: you know, every day of the year training, building towards
• 34:53
  Speaker 13: a Shield final and to get the reward after so long, yeah,
• 34:57
  Speaker 13: it means a lot to myself, to the group, also
• 35:00
  Speaker 13: the state. The state's really passionate about cricket and to
• 35:03
  Speaker 13: be able to bring the Shield back again is yeah,
• 35:06
  Speaker 13: it's a great achievement.
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, an absolute top liner there the Aussie vice captain.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: Now that my point being though that with him in.
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: Particular and Scottie Boland playing for Victoria, most of their
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: federal national playing colleagues are off in India making a
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: lot of money in the IPL. But these guys are
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: here playing Sheffield the Shield and good on them for
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: doing that and they'll treasure at the rest of their lives.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah they will. But it's the world we're living now.
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: People go where the money is.
• 35:35
  Speaker 12: Rather than play for the prestige of a title like
• 35:38
  Speaker 12: the Sheffield Shield. Just on South Australia. They are really
• 35:42
  Speaker 12: kicking some goals, aren't they. In the sporting I mean
• 35:45
  Speaker 12: Port Adelaide, the footy club's not going too well. Adelaide
• 35:48
  Speaker 12: really solid your team, they just got the Moto GP.
• 35:52
  Speaker 12: They just won this shield for a state. There was
• 35:56
  Speaker 12: always a third cousin too. I reckon New South Wales
• 35:59
  Speaker 12: and in Victoria. In the sporting world, they're really really
• 36:03
  Speaker 12: kicking goals.
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: They're going all right, They're in the NBL Final two. Yeah,
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: game to go there. I think I just wanted to
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: get back to footy and get your thoughts on the
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: fact that crowds are down this year. Lots of people
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: got theories about why this is the case, but there
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: was a survey done of crowds and the fans and
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: the reason that they think they're not going to the
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: footy so much, And unsurprisingly the number one reason was
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: the cost. You know, with the cost of living crisis,
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: twenty seven percent of people said it's just too costly.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: But also the other reason was recent changes to the rules.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: You know, people hate all this stand malarkey we get
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: from the umpires. And the third one two was the
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: engagement in political issues. People don't like going to the
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: footy and having woke stuff thrust upon them. I'm just
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: interested in your thoughts on those three reasons.
• 37:00
  Speaker 12: Right, let's start with the third one. People want to
• 37:04
  Speaker 12: enjoy sport. They say it's their release, but it's more
• 37:07
  Speaker 12: than that. It's a it's a passion, and it's.
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: Their tribe that they.
• 37:12
  Speaker 12: Support all their lives. Their father, their grandfather gets past
• 37:15
  Speaker 12: there for the family. They just want to go and
• 37:17
  Speaker 12: watch their sporting team player. And people just get really
• 37:22
  Speaker 12: tired of organizations thrusting social messages at them while they're
• 37:28
  Speaker 12: at the footy, or you know, and we have pride
• 37:30
  Speaker 12: round and we have this round, and we have that round,
• 37:33
  Speaker 12: and you think, God, can we just stop this and
• 37:36
  Speaker 12: just let us go the footage. So that doesn't surprise
• 37:39
  Speaker 12: me that third one, and it was that was like
• 37:41
  Speaker 12: twenty odd percent as well. That that has that that
• 37:45
  Speaker 12: that they responded that way. The second one, I've got
• 37:49
  Speaker 12: not much of an issue with the rule changes because
• 37:52
  Speaker 12: my fear three four five years ago was the coaches
• 37:55
  Speaker 12: were killing the game with defensive actions.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: They were they were crowd all.
• 38:00
  Speaker 12: It was sluggish, and it was sluggish, and it was
• 38:04
  Speaker 12: just not football as we knew it. Now the Standaril
• 38:06
  Speaker 12: has its detractors, and you're one. I like it because
• 38:09
  Speaker 12: it's opened up the game. We're able to move the
• 38:11
  Speaker 12: ball and it could citing again if you're gonna go
• 38:15
  Speaker 12: to the footy and not have political messages and we
• 38:17
  Speaker 12: want to watch exciting football.
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: Yep, and I think we are having that.
• 38:21
  Speaker 12: The first one we spoke about these three weeks ago, Christopher, Remember, yeah,
• 38:25
  Speaker 12: but potential crowds down next week at gather around. Now
• 38:28
  Speaker 12: we'll talk about this next Thursday as well. It's gather
• 38:31
  Speaker 12: around leads up. That is not a surprise that people
• 38:35
  Speaker 12: aren't going to the footy and using the cost of
• 38:37
  Speaker 12: cost of living.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: Now, what will happen in the AFL will come out?
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: Let the government's come out on the war in the
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: Middle East. Rah, that's cramp.
• 38:46
  Speaker 12: The people weren't going to the footy before the Iran
• 38:50
  Speaker 12: conflict start. And I said to you another three weeks ago, father,
• 38:55
  Speaker 12: father or wife, two kids, it's going to coast to
• 38:58
  Speaker 12: two two hundred.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: And fifty to go to the football.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that is not a cheap night out.
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: It is not a cheap night out they've got And
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: that's exactly who you want there, you want families going.
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: You've got to make it more affordable somehow. Just before
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: we let you go, Rob, I've got to squeeze this.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: One in Mary Fowler.
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: Matilda's plays in the UK, of course, and she's partnered
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: with the Penrith Nurl champion. She's just signed a ten
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: million dollar sponsorship deal with out of that. That's incredible,
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: isn't it It is?
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: But it's a big brand. I mean women's soccer.
• 39:30
  Speaker 12: We know what the impact it's had here and the
• 39:32
  Speaker 12: women's soccer league in the Premier League, and that's enormous.
• 39:36
  Speaker 12: Tim Kerr plays over there for Chelsea. Mary Fowler ten
• 39:40
  Speaker 12: million dollars from Dadas. I mean they don't sign.
• 39:42
  Speaker 14: Up every They signing up world class players for their
• 39:49
  Speaker 14: for their footwear, for their for their sporting gear and
• 39:52
  Speaker 14: good honor.
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: She's the darling of.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: Women's Soccer's clearing there, no clear there you go.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: They're the sporting We're just talking about this before. They're
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: like the raging sporting couple.
• 40:09
  Speaker 12: In Australia, you've got Mitch da and Melissa Heliot of
• 40:12
  Speaker 12: course they're right up there, but these two they are
• 40:16
  Speaker 12: I think they're the top of the pops.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: They are top of the pops.
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: Unfortunately for them they play on the other side, opposite
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: sides of the planet. But great stuff, Robo, appreciate catching
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: up with you, Robbo. They're all over the sport and
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: good luck to Marry Fowler and yeah, Nathan. Clearly they're
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: between the two of them, they're just a top of
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: their sports at the moment.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: We've got to get to a break.
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: On the other side, we'll catch up with our own
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: national cabinet and find out well they've got the thing
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: of Elbow's latest efforts.
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: Cheep.
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: As if ever we needed a national cabinet, it is
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: this week. Let's catch up with Tim Blair and Mark Nicholson. Gentlemen,
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: you must have been just inspired by what you've seen
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: from our national government this week. And Mark, I couldn't
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: help but think Howbo should have got you to do
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: his national address because you make him far more interesting.
• 41:09
  Speaker 9: Oh mate, I loved it. I gathered the family round,
• 41:12
  Speaker 9: we all sat down and watched it.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: And just absorbed in it.
• 41:14
  Speaker 9: I don't know if I'm with you, Bikes, but all
• 41:16
  Speaker 9: I heard was just my fellow Australians. I have no
• 41:20
  Speaker 9: idea what I'm doing, but what I can do. He's
• 41:24
  Speaker 9: talking like a bunch of five year olds and use
• 41:27
  Speaker 9: where it's like servo and trucking because my consultants say.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: You like that.
• 41:33
  Speaker 15: Really, all I had was three minutes.
• 41:34
  Speaker 9: Of him to say vote one nation, vote one nation,
• 41:39
  Speaker 9: vote one nation.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: That's all I heard.
• 41:41
  Speaker 15: That's beautiful, beautiful.
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: That's a good point about the truckies and tradees.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: Tim He mentions trades.
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: Every second sentence these days, as if there's some sort
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: of threatened species. It maybe even meta trade once, but
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: he likes to mention trades and uts because that shows
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: he knows what he's talking about.
• 42:02
  Speaker 15: Maybe you'll say, if we keep working down the list,
• 42:05
  Speaker 15: he'll be talking about Chalky's the next time there's some
• 42:07
  Speaker 15: sort of education issue, Sparky's Chippies, you know, on multi
• 42:13
  Speaker 15: national issues, you know, on multicultural things, Greeky's Italies. You know,
• 42:18
  Speaker 15: you're just aiding the eyeas every damn thing because it
• 42:21
  Speaker 15: thinks it makes him sound like a human.
• 42:23
  Speaker 9: Ye.
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: Look, And the great thing what I like about it
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: is we're very lucky to have a Prime Minister who
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: was once transported and Infrastructure minister because that level of
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: expertise enabled him to give us advice like this, have a.
• 42:37
  Speaker 6: Look, enjoy your reaster, and if you're hitting the road,
• 42:41
  Speaker 6: don't take more fuel than you need. Just fill up
• 42:44
  Speaker 6: like you normally would.
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: Just fill up the take mark like you normally would.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: Where does he get this sort of insight from?
• 42:54
  Speaker 9: I know, thank god the Prime Minister told me that,
• 42:57
  Speaker 9: because I was going to put the tube in my
• 42:58
  Speaker 9: mouth and I was going to drink it like I
• 43:01
  Speaker 9: normally would.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: Thank god, I've got a private he's talking about. Oh,
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: you're right, maybe.
• 43:07
  Speaker 15: I filled up the kids the other day. You know,
• 43:12
  Speaker 15: twenty more leaders, you've got to do everything you.
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: Can fill up the radiot absolutely honestly. Well, just thank
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: god we've got an expert in charge.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what.
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: The other thing, it turned up at the Presca Club today,
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: as I pointed that in my editorial, he actually took longer,
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: about twice as long to explain and defend his address
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: to the nation.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: Then the address to the nation actually went. It was
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: three minutes seventeen Mark.
• 43:41
  Speaker 9: It's a vanity exercise constantly, that's all they do. It's
• 43:45
  Speaker 9: just a vanity exercise. And apparently it was pre recorded,
• 43:49
  Speaker 9: so they had a chance to even fix it up
• 43:50
  Speaker 9: and make it look that was the best take.
• 43:52
  Speaker 10: Apparently that was the best one.
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: It was unbelievable.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: People think it was ai. That was good, Oh Tim Alb.
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: If there were outtakes like the famous Kevin Rudder.
• 44:06
  Speaker 15: Chinese, imagine how difficult it would be to decide which
• 44:10
  Speaker 15: ones are the bloopers. That's a really tough call with elbow,
• 44:16
  Speaker 15: isn't it. That'd be almost impossible.
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: That could be Tomorrow's story that his media advisor is
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: sacked because they put the blooper to air rather than.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: Talking about expertise.
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: I've got to show you this clip from the Press
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: Club today because he's a bloke who who is actually
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: said in his addressed to the nation last night that
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: we're not involved in the war, which I think is
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: an incredible slap in the face to about eighty Australian
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: defense personnel who were over there protecting the Gold States.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: But so he wants to politically he wants no part
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: of this war.
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: Yet he's telling Donald Trump and Benjamin nettan Yahoo and
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: whoever else will listen that he knows when to stop.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: I'd have a look.
• 44:56
  Speaker 6: We did express support for the original objectives preventing Iran
• 45:01
  Speaker 6: from ever obtaining a nuclear weapon and degrading its capacity
• 45:05
  Speaker 6: to endanger its neighbors despite its indiscriminate attacks across the region.
• 45:11
  Speaker 6: Iran's air force is degraded, its navy is degraded, its
• 45:17
  Speaker 6: military industrial base is degraded, and so too is its
• 45:21
  Speaker 6: capacity to launch missiles. That is a good thing, and
• 45:25
  Speaker 6: now those objectives have been realized, is not clear what
• 45:29
  Speaker 6: more needs to be achieved or what the endpoint looks like.
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: Jim, this is a problem.
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: Unfortunately Trump went with his address just minutes before Albow.
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: If he listened to Albow, he would have known that
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: it's all over.
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: Finish upmate.
• 45:46
  Speaker 15: Absolutely, We're seeing a bit of a pattern here, though,
• 45:48
  Speaker 15: aren't we. This is a government that wants always to
• 45:51
  Speaker 15: get the best of both walls. It wants to have
• 45:53
  Speaker 15: the credit of saying, you know, we're all onside with
• 45:56
  Speaker 15: getting rid of the crazy molos in our arm. Oh yeah,
• 45:58
  Speaker 15: we're all for it, but we're not going to totally
• 46:00
  Speaker 15: commit to it, but we want to get some credit.
• 46:03
  Speaker 15: And they also want to ban oil and get rid
• 46:06
  Speaker 15: of fossil fuels and also to import it. They want
• 46:09
  Speaker 15: everything all at once. It's really hard to do, especially
• 46:12
  Speaker 15: if you're not that bright in the first place, like.
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: The speaking of them not being too bright. Have a
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: listen to his Climate and Energy minister.
• 46:21
  Speaker 6: You know, the sun has to travel one hundred and
• 46:23
  Speaker 6: fifty million kilometers to get to the Earth, but it
• 46:27
  Speaker 6: does not have to travel the one hundred and fifty
• 46:29
  Speaker 6: kilometers that are the straits of home wars.
• 46:32
  Speaker 9: So and it is ours, isn't it?
• 46:33
  Speaker 15: And the wind can't be sanctioned and Vladimir.
• 46:36
  Speaker 13: Putin cannot you know, prohibit the export of renewal energy
• 46:41
  Speaker 13: from his country.
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: Of course it's directly ours.
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this reminds me of Claire O'Neil as I showed yesterday.
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: I think it was as saying, no other country can
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: stop us using all this wonderful renewable energy. But Mark,
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: they seem to be forgetting China because they get all
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: the wind turbines from China, they get all the solar
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: panels from China, and they get all the batteries from China,
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: and they get all the electric cans from China. So
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: China controls everything to do with our renewable energy transition.
• 47:10
  Speaker 9: Correct, mate, yep, that's exactly right. All they've done is
• 47:13
  Speaker 9: just traded a Middle Eastern oil dependency for a Chinese
• 47:17
  Speaker 9: manufacturing dependency, and they're calling themselves brilliant. They're also trying
• 47:21
  Speaker 9: to tell us that, you know, the sun doesn't have
• 47:23
  Speaker 9: to travel through the straits of all moves.
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: But it doesn't.
• 47:25
  Speaker 9: It doesn't turn the combine harvester on at three am,
• 47:28
  Speaker 9: it doesn't doesn't drive a truck, it doesn't fly a plane,
• 47:31
  Speaker 9: it doesn't make fertilizer. And you know, I think this
• 47:34
  Speaker 9: is in the elbow context in this one. It's not
• 47:36
  Speaker 9: that these blokes have no idea. It's that they have
• 47:39
  Speaker 9: no idea. They have no idea. That's what's dangerous about him.
• 47:43
  Speaker 9: It's really dangerous because he says that you can hear him,
• 47:46
  Speaker 9: he can hear his.
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: Head wobbling while he's saying. He thinks he's being clever.
• 47:50
  Speaker 9: He thinks he's being really smart with this weird, you know,
• 47:54
  Speaker 9: lyrical meditation that he pops out, and he thinks he's
• 47:56
  Speaker 9: being really clever. He thinks he's brilliant by saying this stuff,
• 47:59
  Speaker 9: and so dumb.
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: They have no idea, that they have no idea, So
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: I spot on just quickly something brilliant did happen today?
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: I have a look all.
• 48:08
  Speaker 7: Right, Stan, just give us a minute.
• 48:10
  Speaker 11: And the view of Australia is epic just now.
• 48:13
  Speaker 12: It's amazing to be at this altitude.
• 48:15
  Speaker 8: And Christina's working hard.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: Oh I thought we were going to show the blast
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: off liftoff. Let's have a look.
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: Three two one booster, ignition and lift off. The crew
• 48:32
  Speaker 4: of Artemis two now bound for the Moon. Three miles
