  Speaker 1: He's the reformed.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Tonight sold the albanize A government let's foreigners by Tasmania's
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: biggest farm for a global warming scheme. Prince Harry loses
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: a huge court case and maybe tens of millions of
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: dollars plus a Nigel Arraja's bizarre resignation a fake one.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: But what is his gain? And why is Pauline Hanson,
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: by the way, looking so relaxed? But first, Pauline Hansen
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: has provoked Labor and Anthony Albanezi into doing something even
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: more stupidly divisive to defend the welcome to country, in fact,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: to insist on it. Yes, Labor is fighting the Hansen
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: challenge by rewriting its draft national policy ahead of its
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: national conference to defend and I quote the importance of
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: welcome to country and acknowledgement of country ceremonies.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Now, you would have thought that Labor.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Bosses would have worked out by now that this was
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: exactly the wrong way to go, absolutely wrong, with Hans
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: as one nation party now stealing many Labor voters, many
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: of them say they just want their country back, and
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Hanson is dead against welcomes to country. And I suspect
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: a lot of the other astrants are working out that
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: these ceremonies are at best a joke and at worst
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: dangerously divisive and racist.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: For instance, you see them used.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: By activist pedaling fake history with very little welcome.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: I'm here this evening to perform a ceremony, a ceremony
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: of welcome to country. Are welcome to country is not
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: a welcome to Australia. Within Australia, we have many Aboriginal
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: lands and we refer to our lands as country, so
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: it's always so welcome to the lands you're gathered on. Well,
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Welcome to country is not a ceremony that we've invented
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: to cater for white people. It's a ceremony we've been
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: doing for two hundred and fifty thousand years plus BC,
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: and the BC stands for before Cook.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: The fact of welcome to country ceremony, as we know
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: it wasn't invented two hundred and fifty thousand years ago,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: but fifty and Aboriginies weren't here more than i'd say
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: fifty thousand years ago, so really it was actually invented
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: in this form these ceremonies in ninety seventy six by
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: television presenter Ernie dinger musician Richard Whaley for a festival.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Or you also can.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Get this supposedly traditional welcome to country delivered by people
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: extremely untraditional, like the Muslim man who gave this welcome
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: to the country at Melbourne University.
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: My name is Andrew Gardner, but Haussen is my what's name?
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: We'redre man of the war?
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: Are people someone avertim was from Australian since nineteen ninety five.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Or if you prefer, you can get a welcome from
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: someone who has lots of non aberaginal ancestry as well,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: but still plays that race card that makes people with
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: no average of ancestry feel very unwelcome, indeed, like the
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: woman at an AFL Women's League game.
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: Before proceeding with today's for Maladies, I wish to briefly
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: draw attention to a national crisis affecting aberge entaishied children
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: and young people in youth detention. The drivers of this
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: crisis are well known, the ongoine impacts of colonizations, systemic racism,
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: limited recognition of sovereignty, resistant to indigenous leadership, a continued
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: land in economic possession.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Feeling welcome yet now no wonder many people have had
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: it with these supposed to welcomes, they just foster resentment
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: division and many people who feel that way. Now it
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: seems to me voting for Pauline Hanson. But here comes
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: to labor saying we're going to fight Hanson on this.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: But today I have to say that labor fight started
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: very badly when albourny Easy was asked at a press
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: conference Prime Minister, why this divisive ceremony?
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Why is it a good idea.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: I'm not focused on.
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: Cultural wars, never have been.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Oh that's a bit dishonest, isn't it.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, labor demanding welcomes to country is labor fighting
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: a culture.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: War, ramming down our throat.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: And it got worse when Albanize then defended these welcomes,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: which often, as you know, features someone I didn't find's Aboriginal,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: welcoming other Australians to their own country as if they
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: were and always will be strangers.
• 5:15
  Speaker 7: I'll tell you what I don't know. It hurts anyone
• 5:18
  Speaker 7: for people to be polite and if I come into
• 5:22
  Speaker 7: your home, I'll knock on the door and I'll say
• 5:26
  Speaker 7: it's okay.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: If I come in, you go, yeah, welcome.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Let's first clear up the historical error. Again, these welcomes
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: in this form are not thousands.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Of years old.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: They were invented fifty years ago. But that's equibbal. More
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: serious is that Albanize in labor really do like and
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: welcomes the country to a welcome to your home Albant.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Is you like this analogy so much that it repeated it.
• 5:54
  Speaker 7: Someone saying, is it okay if I come under your country?
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Are there actually anything like the same? I mean, so
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: those of us with no aboriginal ancestors must always be
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: welcomed to our own country as if it's not our
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: home as well. Now, how socially destructive is that? And
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: how racist by the way I mean? And yes, racist,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: because I managed once to convince even prominent abriageal activist
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Noel Pearson, one of the authors of The Voice, that
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: of course people don't be thorn here are indigenous too,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: or at least becoming so even if an ABC type
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: peanut brigade horse laughs at that idea, an idea they
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: were too witless to understand or to answer.
• 6:49
  Speaker 8: I had to come to that somewhat uncomfortable conclusion that
• 6:54
  Speaker 8: even Andrew Bolt was becoming indigenous because the bones of
• 7:04
  Speaker 8: his ancestors are now becoming part of the territory.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: So you know, any other person in my position, are
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: we not indigenous?
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: What are we? You know, rabbits or foxes?
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: He seriously, now, Howbanies may argue that a welcome to
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: the country.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Is Look, look, don't worry.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: You know, it's really just symbolic, just as he said,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: a politeness, as if the rest of us, of course,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: would never be denied entry to say Melbourne or Sydney
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: or Brisbane or whatever. You know, it's all pro former.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: But in that case, Alvin, is he liking that?
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Liking it? To you?
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Welcoming someone into your home is plainly false because we
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: homeowners often do stop people at our front door, say
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: no to salesman.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: We don't live in strain.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: We don't need in pests or people knocking when we're
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: trying to sleep, or we might even be out shopping.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: So no, absolutely not, you can't come in now. Is
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: that really the kind of thing that labor has in mind,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: where this welcomes to the country where you might be
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: welcomed or you might be not because it's their home
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: not yours. And maybe it is because already you need
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: a permit to visit supposedly sacred places such as Zannum
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Land and Lake Air, and you can't climb ul Aru
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: or an increasing number of other Aboriginal landmarks.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: So you can tell where this is going.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Under labor I suspect flavor gets this way, welcome to
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: country will become more prescriptive and divisive.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: And who does this help, really? Who does this help.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: To tell our millions of migrants particularly, this is and
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: always will be land that's not theirs? Who does it
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: help to keep insisting on that we were here first
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: racial division when we intermarry. So much in the offering,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: could aly guess that even a person doing a welcome
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: to country was Aboriginal.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Unless they'd told you.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: It's all so destructive and pointless. I haven't seen anyone
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: does any good except for the people's pocketing. They're welcome
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: to country speech fee in their pocket, and our doubts
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: even genuine.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Because here's a test.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Let's see what happens one day when some elder hired
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: to do a welcome to country the MCG, for instance,
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: looks up at the crowd and says, actually, no, you're
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: not welcome, go away, leave my house. Would one hundred
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: thousand people really then leave the MCG the elder's home
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: or would they insist, no, it's really ours too. What
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: would al it easy?
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Do?
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: So let us ask him, let him tell us is
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: the Welcome to Country under Labor meaningless or only too
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: dangerously real? Okay, first it was Optus, Today it's Telstra,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: another big communications outage and another big reminder of how
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: vulnerable we are, especially to a cyber attack one day
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: from a hostile power. Now this outage today is actually
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: an accident, but you just look at the results. I
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: mean you have Telstra calls and data down for as
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: long as five hours, but more than that. I mean
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: all regional train services in Victoria were canceled and also
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: some lines in New South Wales. Joining me is the
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: political panel Camera and Milner, former Chief Stuff, the labor leader,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Bill Shortener, now Director of g XO Strategies, and Michael Costa,
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: former New South Wales Labor Treasurer.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Cameron.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: We are looking more and more vulnerable. You know, You've
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: got these outages, you have the threat last month to
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: petrol supplies. You've got more and more potholes in our
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: main roads, especially in Victoria. I mean, what is the
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: message from today's outage because I don't recall hearing about
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: this kind of thing in most advanced countries that are
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: know of.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Well, that's right, isn't it.
• 11:25
  Speaker 9: I mean, we have to be a lot more secure
• 11:26
  Speaker 9: about our borders, you know, and a lot more serious
• 11:29
  Speaker 9: about and not complacent about our vulnerability with technology.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: And that's the issue.
• 11:33
  Speaker 9: I mean, obviously it was a stuff up rather than
• 11:35
  Speaker 9: China today, But what if it was China tomorrow, Andrew,
• 11:38
  Speaker 9: what if it was some other foreign activists who was
• 11:40
  Speaker 9: actually intervening in our power grid, our telecommunications. Where's the
• 11:43
  Speaker 9: nation of vulnerable because the government's been complacent for too
• 11:46
  Speaker 9: long to these sorts of threats and the vulnerabilities our
• 11:49
  Speaker 9: society faces.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: And don't forget China could also perhaps it seems from
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: experts and they suggest it could flick a kill switch and
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: any Chinese made car that's on the road. But Michael,
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: what is the message?
• 12:06
  Speaker 10: The message is we've got incompetent management and incompetent government.
• 12:09
  Speaker 10: I mean, look, these things will happen, Andrew, outside of war.
• 12:13
  Speaker 10: I mean I expect in a war situation that will
• 12:16
  Speaker 10: be part of the strategy. And there are weapons that
• 12:18
  Speaker 10: I think we have when I say we the Western
• 12:20
  Speaker 10: Alliance as well as our enemies that will attack these
• 12:24
  Speaker 10: systems because it's obvious you've got to attack those systems. Well,
• 12:27
  Speaker 10: I find extraordinary this is whether it's an accident or
• 12:31
  Speaker 10: a normal malfunction. How did they manage the crisis? You know,
• 12:36
  Speaker 10: firstly the Minister went to ground, the CEO went to ground,
• 12:39
  Speaker 10: no communication and certainly no attempt at creating some backup
• 12:45
  Speaker 10: systems that we discussed in the Optice situation to ensure
• 12:49
  Speaker 10: critical services. And I think you can isolate some of
• 12:51
  Speaker 10: the critical services were protected. That's what worries me. We've
• 12:55
  Speaker 10: got incompetent management that takes big salaries and incompetent government.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Now talking about managerial incompetence. Cameron. There's been more chaos
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: with the government screen agenda. You've got big wind farms
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: today demanding more government handouts before they go ahead. You
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: know the federal government's counting on them. You've got the
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: government handing and astonishing five hundred and fifty million dollars
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: to a green hydrogen plant that turns out not to
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: cut much.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Admissions at all.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: And to top it off, you've got the Treasurer approving
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: the sale of Tasmania's biggest farm, the twenty two thousand
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: hectar Rushy Lagoon Dairy and bee farm, to a British company,
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: not to grow food, not to raise cattle, not to
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: raise sheep or dairy, but to grow trees to cut emissions,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: to capture the carbon. It sounds to me utterly bizarre
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: to turn great farmland into another global warming scheme.
• 13:59
  Speaker 9: Absolutely, and it's absolute sheer lunacy, sheer lunacy that we
• 14:02
  Speaker 9: would take productive farmland that is producing milk and in
• 14:05
  Speaker 9: a beef and grain, but farmland that's desperately need in
• 14:08
  Speaker 9: Australia like this and put trees on it. And not
• 14:11
  Speaker 9: only that, Andrew, get this. The only way the BRIT's
• 14:14
  Speaker 9: are actually buying this land is with taxpayers money. The
• 14:17
  Speaker 9: Clean Energy Finance Corporation is using taxpayers money to.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Make this work.
• 14:21
  Speaker 9: They're actually coming up with the money so they can
• 14:23
  Speaker 9: buy the farm, to shut the cows down and put
• 14:25
  Speaker 9: trees on it.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: This is sheer lunacy, sheer lunacy.
• 14:28
  Speaker 9: And to your point before, I mean the stuff with
• 14:30
  Speaker 9: orac Are up in Newcastle is forty times forty times
• 14:34
  Speaker 9: the current abatement for uce like for the five hundred
• 14:36
  Speaker 9: and fifty million dollars. Even if they cannibate with this
• 14:38
  Speaker 9: green hydrogen, it's still unproven. So yeah, we are throwing
• 14:41
  Speaker 9: money out the window, Andrew on woke programs that don't work.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: But Michael, I mean, just listening to camera and outline
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: all that stuff. You think you're in a particularly stupid
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: series of Yes, minister, but it's real, and it's happening
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: in front of our eyes. Serious people or supposedly serious people,
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: politicians look at you clear eye and say this is
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: what we're going to do.
• 15:07
  Speaker 10: I mean, it's nuts, It's completely nuts. And look, the
• 15:11
  Speaker 10: bottom line is the green dream is turning into the
• 15:13
  Speaker 10: green nightmare. We all know that this sort of renewable
• 15:16
  Speaker 10: energy has now become the most costly form of energy,
• 15:19
  Speaker 10: and it's costly because of the very things you're discussing, Andrew.
• 15:22
  Speaker 10: And you know what annoys me the most. The only
• 15:24
  Speaker 10: people benefiting are sort of rent seekers and crony capitalists.
• 15:28
  Speaker 10: And you can see these very clearly out of this process.
• 15:31
  Speaker 10: And the virtue signal is who drive around their electric
• 15:34
  Speaker 10: cars at the expense of everybody else. Forget that when
• 15:37
  Speaker 10: you do something like this, you take away food supplies
• 15:41
  Speaker 10: from the sort of billion or so people that are
• 15:44
  Speaker 10: malnourished in the world. You know, you've got to pick
• 15:46
  Speaker 10: your virtue signaling and pick the one that's got the
• 15:49
  Speaker 10: most credibility, and I would to afford feeding people is
• 15:52
  Speaker 10: more important than costly power for evs. So it's a
• 15:57
  Speaker 10: disaster and it doesn't hit those core elements that we
• 16:00
  Speaker 10: know that they cannot do without concrete, fertilizers, steel, plastics,
• 16:06
  Speaker 10: all the things, aviation field, all of the things that
• 16:09
  Speaker 10: make our economy go, they cannot be sustained.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: And let's not forget the bottom line. Every time, it's
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: got to be said, we're too small to make any
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: measurable difference to the climate no matter what we do.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: All this is purely performative and costly. But Cameron, I
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: mean that aside. I mean that's mad enough. What we
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: just discussed, that is mad enough. But this has been
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: such a bizarre week in politics. I've never I don't think,
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: seen anything like it in my life. And not just
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: because China's just fired and nuclear capable missile in our
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: general direction. We've also got the Australian Prime Minister declaring
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: he'd like to quote apologies again, shag singer Kylie Minogue
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: and making crude Benny hillstyle jokes about the Japanese Prime
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Minister's melons. Get it all this while the OECD warns
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: that real wages in this country have fallen more than
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: focusing in five years, one of the worst falls it's
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: recorded in the developed world. To me, Cameron, the pictures
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: of a deeply unseerious country facing very serious times.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: I couldn't agree more.
• 17:20
  Speaker 9: And we saw arrogant albow, didn't we. Mister untouchable, he
• 17:22
  Speaker 9: could crack appalling jokes. I mean it was cringe and
• 17:25
  Speaker 9: got this is creepy, just creepy, andrew some of the
• 17:28
  Speaker 9: jokes he cracked. I mean, I mean this is the problem,
• 17:30
  Speaker 9: and this is the bloke is not up to the
• 17:31
  Speaker 9: job anyway and has gone from being a prime minister
• 17:34
  Speaker 9: in the lodge to the prime misogynist in the lodge.
• 17:36
  Speaker 9: He was a shocking week from him.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you make of that, Michael.
• 17:43
  Speaker 10: Well, clearly he's, you know, the Celeste Patterson of Australian politics.
• 17:47
  Speaker 10: I mean he's a character, sure of the character, sure,
• 17:51
  Speaker 10: but you know what I find in true just about
• 17:53
  Speaker 10: that issue. I'm waiting for him to get his earning
• 17:55
  Speaker 10: award from you know, the sort of left lovely feminist
• 17:59
  Speaker 10: you know, yes, Julia Gillard standing about it. But look
• 18:03
  Speaker 10: what's most appalling about that is Andrew. He did that
• 18:07
  Speaker 10: interview to try and reconnect with I don't know, the
• 18:10
  Speaker 10: young people. I assume at a time when he's cut
• 18:12
  Speaker 10: them out of wealth creation. You know, he's forcing their
• 18:15
  Speaker 10: frends up in his silly budget measures, and he's also
• 18:18
  Speaker 10: cut them out of the equities market with the way
• 18:21
  Speaker 10: he's bul bungled that particular reform. So yes, it is unserious,
• 18:26
  Speaker 10: but he's there.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: He's arrogant.
• 18:29
  Speaker 10: The hubris is all over this, and you know why,
• 18:32
  Speaker 10: it's because the coalition and the writer is divided.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well it's interesting, Cameron.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: The Prime Minister issued a six word apology and I
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: apologize for the comments I made, but that's it. I
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: wonder has he apologized to the and no one's asked
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: in this which stuns me. Prime Minister, have you apologized
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: to Japan's Prime minister for making fun of a gift
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: of a royal melon and then going on to do
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: a Benny Hill type gift joke about her melon's plural,
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: waving his hands around the general breast the area.
• 19:12
  Speaker 9: I know, this is sick thing to watch. Wasn't a
• 19:14
  Speaker 9: hand I mean this is like, it's your point, Benny
• 19:16
  Speaker 9: Hill would be a way of saying nicely. I mean,
• 19:18
  Speaker 9: he's just a foul old man basically on TV. I
• 19:21
  Speaker 9: mean that's what it came down to, dirty old man.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: I mean.
• 19:24
  Speaker 9: And so this is the situation where where you know,
• 19:26
  Speaker 9: he's fangirls in his press club, then he's meeting you,
• 19:28
  Speaker 9: put out a six word apology. He can't even say
• 19:31
  Speaker 9: it on camera. He hit the camera today. He couldn't
• 19:33
  Speaker 9: even say sorry on camera, Andrew. So this is the problem.
• 19:36
  Speaker 9: So yes, I mean, a disgrace in the officer prime minister,
• 19:38
  Speaker 9: a liability on the on the international stage, denigrating a
• 19:42
  Speaker 9: female prime minister who's actually standing up to China a lot,
• 19:45
  Speaker 9: a lot more than this elbow bloke walking around the
• 19:47
  Speaker 9: Pacific currently.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, Cameron Milner, Michael Costa, thank you very much to
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: you both after the break, talking about the green energy Chozzle,
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: a green energy company creates by Labour's big climate guru collapses.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: The abdizy governments global warming plans really are becoming a joke.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Labor is now so fanatically committed to fighting global warming
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: that doesn't care about the cost and it's just so
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: many and like a climate don keyxote windmills and all.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: I have given an example from today the Prime Minister
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: it was today promoting his seventy million dollar scheme to
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: help Volvo sell its electric trucks. But check out his
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: wild claims.
• 20:41
  Speaker 7: This is a seventy million dollar investment from the Comworth government.
• 20:45
  Speaker 7: This we'll see more Australian made trucks on the roads.
• 20:48
  Speaker 7: And we know that electric trucks are also cheaper to
• 20:51
  Speaker 7: run and maintain over time, which will lower transport costs
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: through the economy and therefore put downward pressure on inflation,
• 21:00
  Speaker 7: which we want to see as well. So good for
• 21:03
  Speaker 7: the economy, good for the environment, and good for your
• 21:06
  Speaker 7: hip pocket.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Actually, no, it's not good for your hip pocket unless
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: you're happen to be buying one of the thirty trucks
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: three zero truck so far that Volvo is building for
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: Limp Fox. Your taxes are helping to pay for them,
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: even though you'll never own one, you'll never drive one,
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: you probably won't even ever see one. So I'm quite
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: sure how it's helping you with your hip pocket when
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: you're paying and not enjoying. And albaniz Is claimed that
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: these trucks are you know, it can only be good
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: for your hip pocket if the government's actually throwing taxpayer
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: money at you. Now, the government's own climate change department
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: itself has said this seventy million dollar finance package from
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: the government helps more operators to choose Australia made battery
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: electric trucks buy addressing cost barriers.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: So what cost barriers could they be?
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Well, the driven that's a website about electric trucks and
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: so on, says zero and low missions trucks can be
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: two to four times more expensive than a diesel truck
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: for the same task. Who was running about exactly this deal.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: So and what's more, it goes on to say, uncertainty
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: about the depreciation rate means lower residual value expectations and
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: higher lessing costs. So really it's not easy on your
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: hip pocket. And all green schemes are just a money pit.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: And you know, the latest to find that out a
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: little bit ironic. The global warming expert whose report persuaded
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: the rud Labor government to push for his scheme to
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: cut emissions. Ross Garneau, an academic who went on to
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: co found a renewable energy retailer called Zen Energy that's
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: now a dear collapsed, forced into administration in one of
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: the biggest corporate failures of Australia's clean energy transition and
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: one of the big problems it faced. There is such
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: a thing as a wind drought. In fact, we had
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: another big one just last month. The wind doesn't blow,
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: you have no power for consumers, very expensive and for
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: retailers who committed to finding electricity for their customers, like
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Zen Energy, it has turned out to be fatal. And
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: it's a huge problem in Europe too. I mean so
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: much so that the Germans, after suffering wind droughts, gave
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: it what's now a German name known around the world
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: for this phenomenon, dunkel Flalter meaning dark lull. I was
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: joined earlier by energy policy commentator Christina Talaco, co founder
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: of Glows Strategies, the global advisory firm on energy and
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: critical minerals and on the Border beyond zero emissions. Seeing
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: it to Lacho, thank you so much for your time.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: So we have so many wind companies now demanding just
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: today we read demanding a handout from the government to
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: push the accelerator on particularly New South Wales. What is
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: going on with this move to renewables.
• 24:18
  Speaker 11: The government decided that the policy will be renewables, which
• 24:23
  Speaker 11: is a mix of wind, will be solar, and it's
• 24:26
  Speaker 11: a lot of storage and we need backup.
• 24:30
  Speaker 12: So at the moment, because we have no other alternative,
• 24:34
  Speaker 12: call is retiring. Eventually, either we keep rolling out going
• 24:40
  Speaker 12: on the same pathway as the government wishes to do,
• 24:44
  Speaker 12: or we just say this planet is probably not working
• 24:47
  Speaker 12: so well for austrilliance. Priss of electricity are going up.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: It sounds stupidly dangerous to me, given, you know, unlike Denmark,
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: which said, oh we'll go really hardcore when they could
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: get if it didn't work, and it didn't, they could
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: get power from countries around them. Germany could get power
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: from France from its nuclear reactors when it tried to
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: go you know, we won't do cold fire power and
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: we'll turn down turn off our own nuclear power stations.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: It could still get power from other countries. We don't
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: have a long extension called to any other country, and
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: yet we've done this. Does that strike you as a
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: little foolish.
• 25:29
  Speaker 12: I guess there's always the optimism that Australia and this
• 25:32
  Speaker 12: is why the policy went this way, is that Australia
• 25:35
  Speaker 12: has a lot of sun a lot of sunshine, a
• 25:38
  Speaker 12: lot of potential winds, so we can do that just
• 25:41
  Speaker 12: with renewables. But the reality, as you mentioned, is a
• 25:44
  Speaker 12: lot of countries that were following that pathway, including Germany,
• 25:48
  Speaker 12: when they turned off their nuclear power.
• 25:51
  Speaker 11: Stations, they found themselves in big trouble.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: No, it just seems to me, you know, drained up
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: with a VSA of the wind always blowing the sun away,
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: is shining, nothing ever going wrong sort of, you know,
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: and you know, fluffy lambs dancing around the meadows. But
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: it doesn't work that way. What would have been a
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: more effective and reliable source of no emissions power, he says,
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: knowing the answer.
• 26:20
  Speaker 12: Well, you know that I believe in nuclear energy. It's
• 26:24
  Speaker 12: been proven that it works in many countries like France.
• 26:27
  Speaker 12: It's about seventy percent nuclear.
• 26:29
  Speaker 11: This is where I live at the.
• 26:30
  Speaker 12: Moment, and nuclear should be considered by Australia. We have
• 26:34
  Speaker 12: a lot of uranium, we have the capability, we have
• 26:37
  Speaker 12: skills have acas now, but nuclear is really one of
• 26:41
  Speaker 12: the very few. It's not the only zero emission sources
• 26:44
  Speaker 12: that run regardless or weather. So it runs day and nights,
• 26:48
  Speaker 12: summer and winter. And nuclear clower plants they tend to
• 26:51
  Speaker 12: run at around ninety percent or more of its maximum output.
• 26:55
  Speaker 11: Across the ear so you know, at the same time wind.
• 27:00
  Speaker 12: Run roughly at a third of that capacity, and Staller
• 27:03
  Speaker 12: even less.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: But then you get the government saying, yes, but nuclear
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: is the ch You know, it's too expensive, it's far
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: too expensive. It says, look what the CSIRO says, et cetera.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: We can't go there.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: It's ridiculous and we'll keep banning it even Do you
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: think that those arguments actually hold up well.
• 27:25
  Speaker 12: I think that in Australia there's three reasons that we
• 27:27
  Speaker 12: don't have nuclear at the moment.
• 27:29
  Speaker 11: One is obviously the band.
• 27:31
  Speaker 12: We are the only G twenty country that still has
• 27:35
  Speaker 12: a federal ban on building a civil nuclear.
• 27:38
  Speaker 11: Industry, and that has to go.
• 27:40
  Speaker 12: It has to be looked at it under today's circumstances.
• 27:44
  Speaker 12: I mean, things have changed enormously in terms of safety,
• 27:47
  Speaker 12: in terms of waste with your career, so we could
• 27:50
  Speaker 12: have a look at our federal ban and try to
• 27:53
  Speaker 12: you know, get rid of it, the sooner the better.
• 27:56
  Speaker 12: But also the second. The second thing is what you mentioned.
• 27:59
  Speaker 12: There's a cost reception in Australia that the government leans on,
• 28:03
  Speaker 12: which is the gen cost report you mentioned produced by
• 28:06
  Speaker 12: the CSIRO.
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: Row and it says that nuclear is far more expensive
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: than loose. But in actual effect that report deserves a
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: lot more scrutiny because their conclusion depends heavily on their assumptions,
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: and some of their assumptions were not really comparing nuclear properly,
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: I mean apples with apple, so it assumes, for example,
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: in that report the nuclear has a much shorter life,
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: and we know that reactors can last for sixty tow
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: eight years, if not more. It also didn't fully priced
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: storage back up transmission that the Nobles great needs, so
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: it's not really a report that is fair in their assumptions.
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: There should be another independent report and if we want
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: to look at the cost of nuclear properly and then firmly,
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: which I think is the hardest, is the politics in
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: Australia right because it has become a partisan football since the.
• 28:58
  Speaker 11: Last lection, not for before.
• 29:01
  Speaker 12: And what we need is more of a neutral position,
• 29:04
  Speaker 12: one of a bipartisan position on nuclear looking at it
• 29:09
  Speaker 12: pragmatically and on it's so.
• 29:10
  Speaker 11: Old in a little bit.
• 29:11
  Speaker 12: It really deserves to be looked at from a pragmatic
• 29:15
  Speaker 12: point of you're not a political point of it.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well good luck with that, Christine Iman. You've been
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: in Australia long enough to see that that is a
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: very ask. In Australia, everything's political. Christina Telaca, thank you
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: so much for your time.
• 29:30
  Speaker 11: That's my pleasure.
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: A jim.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: Dearie May can you believe this nonsense this country is
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: inflicting on ourselves.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: I mean it's just crazy.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: After the break, Jimmy and Caroline on the panel. An
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: update on the war bill Iran. We'll have more on
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: that with General Jack King tomorrow. This peace deal is
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: turning into the piece you have and it's actually war
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Iran's hardline Islamic Revolutionary Guard Core. Yesterday I hit three
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: tankers in the straight up mus with missiles and drones
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: and ward ships to stay out.
• 30:10
  Speaker 13: This is live farming, This is life warning, this is
• 30:14
  Speaker 13: live warning. You're running danger. Sawfled your logging Dagier.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: The US immediately banned around again from selling US oil
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: and launched a punishment attack this time, including not just
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: on strategic sits in southern around but also on small
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: vessels that Iran uses to attack shipping. Iran then claimed
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: to have attack eighty five sites in Cubait and Bahrain,
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: but there are no reports of major damage.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, you've got to got to say it again.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump ended the sport too soon in a panic,
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: and Iran now is just really stalling for time, guessing
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: the US isn't that serious. Join me at Gematon any
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: communists and communications consultant Karen the Russo, commentator and president
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: the rest a Strained Liberals, Gemma, what is the difference
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: between a Donald Trump war and a Donald Trump piece?
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: To me, it seems it's whatever he says it is.
• 31:10
  Speaker 14: Well, the interesting thing here, Andrew is I think the
• 31:12
  Speaker 14: insight is that perhaps Trump isn't the warmonger people like
• 31:15
  Speaker 14: to think he is. He's made a promise, obviously to
• 31:19
  Speaker 14: the American people when he was elected, no boots on
• 31:21
  Speaker 14: the ground, no forever wars. But he's also, i think
• 31:25
  Speaker 14: demonstrably somebody who values democracy and values the right of
• 31:31
  Speaker 14: people to have their freedom. I don't think anyone with
• 31:34
  Speaker 14: a brain trust the IIGC when they say look, we
• 31:37
  Speaker 14: really promise, were pinky swear that we're going to be
• 31:41
  Speaker 14: really good and we're just not going to enrich our uranium.
• 31:44
  Speaker 14: And you know, merrily on the while in the background
• 31:47
  Speaker 14: continuing with their vile, vile execution of women and minorities
• 31:52
  Speaker 14: and dissidents all the while.
• 31:54
  Speaker 15: You're quite right, Trump ended the war prematurely. It was
• 31:57
  Speaker 15: a mistake. They need to finish the job.
• 32:00
  Speaker 14: To everyone who thinks that I'm a warmonger, you volunteer
• 32:02
  Speaker 14: to go and live under that regime and then we'll
• 32:04
  Speaker 14: have a conversation.
• 32:05
  Speaker 15: I know the price of freedom.
• 32:07
  Speaker 14: I am very grateful I don't have to personally pay it,
• 32:10
  Speaker 14: and I have the utmost respect for our serving men
• 32:12
  Speaker 14: and women who decide that that price is worth paying.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: Yes, I got to say that the Trump is making
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: a deal with the civilian government and the Speaker of
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: the Parliament, and the IGC is not making a deal
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: with them, and they're the ones who seem to be
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: put into carbos.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: And all this.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: But honestly, Caroline, this looks this looks only like a
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: piece because Donald Trump says it is. Because really to
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: most normal people that would look like war.
• 32:40
  Speaker 16: Well, and the thing is if you go back and
• 32:42
  Speaker 16: you look at the history of this area, you look
• 32:45
  Speaker 16: at the history of Iran and Persia over two thousand years,
• 32:47
  Speaker 16: nothing has ever been simple there. So I think anyone
• 32:51
  Speaker 16: would have been pretty naive to have thought you just
• 32:54
  Speaker 16: kind of trotted in title bow in this in five
• 32:56
  Speaker 16: minutes and walked on out, because two thousand years or
• 32:59
  Speaker 16: more of history tells you that it's not that simple.
• 33:03
  Speaker 15: But what I will say is that it is a little.
• 33:05
  Speaker 16: Bit unhelpful with all the back and frow, and I
• 33:08
  Speaker 16: suppose the performative side of all of this, because this
• 33:11
  Speaker 16: year is actually a very serious situation. But the problem
• 33:14
  Speaker 16: is is when you have all this talk, oh there's peace, no,
• 33:17
  Speaker 16: there's not. Yes, we're on, yes we're off, it ends
• 33:20
  Speaker 16: up becoming like Days of our Lives and you can
• 33:23
  Speaker 16: check in after forty three episodes and Stiff and I
• 33:26
  Speaker 16: is still.
• 33:26
  Speaker 15: Possessed by the devil.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 33:28
  Speaker 16: And the problem is is that we should be paying
• 33:31
  Speaker 16: really close attention to this. No, but it's true we
• 33:34
  Speaker 16: should be paying really close attention. But because it flip
• 33:37
  Speaker 16: flops on the daily, you never actually know where it's at.
• 33:40
  Speaker 16: And I don't think it's probably you know, getting the
• 33:43
  Speaker 16: attention it actually should be getting simply because of that fact.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: Yes, I think it's the problem is that both sides
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: are lying to their own people for political reasons or
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: strategic and so it's very hard to know what the
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: truth is. Anthony is he Jimmy returned to Australia for
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: his first press conference here today since the controversy about
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: his podcast interview where he said he'd like to apologizes again.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: I think probably the last time I'm going to mention
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: this word shag kyl minogue. And when you know, he
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: also made sexist comments about Japan's prime minister and her melons.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: Now, how about this, Jemma.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: Not one journalist asked him one question about that, not
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: one real question about it, even about sexualizing the prime
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: minister of one of our most important allies. Does that
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: surprise you at all?
• 34:37
  Speaker 14: It disappoints me. I don't know what surprises me anymore.
• 34:41
  Speaker 15: Andrew.
• 34:41
  Speaker 14: I think I'm at that agent stage of life where
• 34:43
  Speaker 14: you've been around a little while and you see things
• 34:46
  Speaker 14: and think that shouldn't happen, and you don't see other
• 34:48
  Speaker 14: things and go why not? And I think that falls
• 34:50
  Speaker 14: into this category. I don't know why anyone didn't demand
• 34:54
  Speaker 14: that he front up, because that apology that he gave
• 34:58
  Speaker 14: via statement was not an apology in my view, it
• 35:01
  Speaker 14: read like an apology for getting caught. Look, I'm sorry
• 35:04
  Speaker 14: I got caught. It wasn't sorry for what I said,
• 35:07
  Speaker 14: sorry for the extremely sexist, demeaning, revolting, grubby, juvenile comments
• 35:13
  Speaker 14: that I said about women in general. It was just
• 35:17
  Speaker 14: a sorry, and everybody seems to have moved on. Well,
• 35:20
  Speaker 14: I just I think that it's hugely disappointed in appointing
• 35:27
  Speaker 14: that nobody felt the need to hold him responsible in person,
• 35:31
  Speaker 14: because it's all anyone in anyone about Andrew. It's all
• 35:35
  Speaker 14: anyone is talking about. They're talking about is this bloke
• 35:39
  Speaker 14: for real? If my child spoke like the whole thing
• 35:41
  Speaker 14: is crazy, it's not like, oh well it's it's not
• 35:45
  Speaker 14: like saying Italians Dinula Andrew, it's not a little thing.
• 35:50
  Speaker 15: It's not a little thing. Sometimes translation.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: Inferno, Caroline, you but I know, absolutely, But Caroline, you
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: just know, I mean, I know we keep saying this
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: sort of stuff, But you know, if it was a
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: liberal who said such a thing, as a liberal who joked.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: About the breasts of a femur, you know, that would
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: from beginning to end.
• 36:26
  Speaker 16: Oh yes, yes, we'd be talking about the Liberals problem
• 36:29
  Speaker 16: with women. No one has said Labour's problem with women
• 36:32
  Speaker 16: over the last week, which I find, you know.
• 36:34
  Speaker 15: Very in struggle. You have, yes, very few people have.
• 36:38
  Speaker 16: But what I will say, and I agree with absolutely
• 36:42
  Speaker 16: everything that Jemma has said, but I will say this,
• 36:45
  Speaker 16: I would like to think that this fureral over the
• 36:49
  Speaker 16: last week has, while very very serious, has allowed there
• 36:54
  Speaker 16: to be a distraction from Labour's performance on the economy.
• 36:58
  Speaker 16: So if and while I think that he absolutely should
• 37:03
  Speaker 16: be asked questions in person and all those sorts of things,
• 37:07
  Speaker 16: and we know he's got terrible judgment Andrew, I mean,
• 37:10
  Speaker 16: it's just plaining to see. But I really want the
• 37:15
  Speaker 16: conversation around the budget changes, that tax changes and what
• 37:19
  Speaker 16: have you to be back front and center, because simply
• 37:23
  Speaker 16: they are egregious and we are already seeing the adverse
• 37:27
  Speaker 16: effects of those and if we're going to put their
• 37:30
  Speaker 16: feet to the fire, I want it to be on
• 37:32
  Speaker 16: something substantive that affects the lives of everyday Australians. While
• 37:37
  Speaker 16: I think his behavior in relation to that podcast is reprehensible,
• 37:40
  Speaker 16: I wrote about it this week. But you know, I
• 37:43
  Speaker 16: want us to get back to the absolute nitty gritty
• 37:46
  Speaker 16: on the substance of their governance, because we know their
• 37:48
  Speaker 16: judgment is rubbish, because the governments, well that governance is
• 37:53
  Speaker 16: also rubbish, Andrew, which won't surprise you.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I'm afraid that's I'm afraid that's the the
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: The Prime Minister today, General's defending the Welcome to Country
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: saying it was like welcoming someone to your home.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that's true. What do you think.
• 38:10
  Speaker 14: I see the analogy he's trying to draw, and I
• 38:13
  Speaker 14: think it's an expedient one. It's a convenient one for him.
• 38:16
  Speaker 14: I've said before, Andrew, I've been to events where a
• 38:20
  Speaker 14: welcome to country has been heartfelt, genuine and has united
• 38:25
  Speaker 14: the room. And I've been to welcomes to country where
• 38:29
  Speaker 14: it has been a long drawn out lecture, tinged with
• 38:34
  Speaker 14: all kinds of things that shouldn't be you know, it
• 38:37
  Speaker 14: shouldn't be said to fellow Australians. I think it's a
• 38:40
  Speaker 14: manner and a matter. But the government has an agenda here.
• 38:43
  Speaker 14: We know the Union movement is pushing for another round
• 38:46
  Speaker 14: it the Voice to Parliament referendum and by all means,
• 38:49
  Speaker 14: mister Albanezy, exercise some of that great judgment and take
• 38:52
  Speaker 14: that go for it made it will be a winner.
• 38:55
  Speaker 14: I don't think the welcome to country in and of
• 38:58
  Speaker 14: itself is the problem.
• 39:00
  Speaker 15: I think it's the ideology I do.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: I do, no, no, oh, look look I totally agree
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: with you. That is one aspect of it. But I
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: have to say, Caroline, in the minute I've got left
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: to me, it's like, Australia's my home, and for somebody
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: to welcome to countries like having them sit in my
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: lounge room welcoming me to my own home.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: I find that rather rude.
• 39:25
  Speaker 16: Well well I probably wouldn't necessarily quite put it exactly
• 39:29
  Speaker 16: like that, but I see it from the point if
• 39:31
  Speaker 16: someone's welcoming you to their home, if so fact it's
• 39:34
  Speaker 16: also not your home, I think it's Actually.
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: It's probably really quite that simple.
• 39:38
  Speaker 16: Like Jemma, I've seen some that have been done that
• 39:41
  Speaker 16: have been really lovely and heartfelt, and so I'm okay.
• 39:45
  Speaker 16: I mean, I'm not going to ever do one personally
• 39:47
  Speaker 16: an acknowledgement a country. That's fine, that's my business. Other
• 39:50
  Speaker 16: people can do whatever. But the other thing to be
• 39:53
  Speaker 16: and this has moved slightly. But the other thing that
• 39:55
  Speaker 16: I find very egregious about some of the motions that
• 39:59
  Speaker 16: are going to Labor National Conference is the change in
• 40:02
  Speaker 16: their position in relation to the recognition of Palestine and
• 40:06
  Speaker 16: removing the line about requiring the disarmament of Hamas. Now
• 40:10
  Speaker 16: that there is something we should absolutely be talking about,
• 40:14
  Speaker 16: because welcome to country. Yes, I take I see where
• 40:18
  Speaker 16: this is. But for me that's a little bit.
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: Well, that's one of the many issues of that statement.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: Absolutely correct, gerental Neni Khara and the Russia, thank you
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: very much to you both. After the break, Prince Harry
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: humiliated and facing tens of millions of dollars of legal bills.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: I mentioned Paul in Hanson earlier.
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: Well, she's in England at the moment, is going to
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: be giving a big talk to Conservative conference. She caught
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: up well with the formulator star Holly Valance, now big
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: conservative celebrity at Jeremy Clarkson's pub. I'm very jealous of that.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: Now while she's over there, Paul Henson has been planning
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: to catch up with Nigel Farage, the leader of Britain's
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: anti immigration Reform Party, which is now why ahead in
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: the polls. But Forrage may now be a bit busy
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: after resigning from Parliament, but then saying immediately there's going
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: to stand in the electionist course for his own seat,
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: it's a bizarre call. It's done to dismiss a parliamentary
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: inquiry into his failure to declared donations by two rich
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: crypto investors, including a gift of nearly ten million dollars.
• 41:37
  Speaker 17: It's a chance to stick two fingers up to the
• 41:40
  Speaker 17: entire establishment. And I would say this to you, the
• 41:43
  Speaker 17: voters of Clacton, if I win, you win, because if
• 41:47
  Speaker 17: I lose, they win, and we will never with the
• 41:51
  Speaker 17: two old parties get my type of fundamental change that
• 41:54
  Speaker 17: we need to fix broken Britain.
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: Now, I'm not quite your for Aj is going to
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: gain from this stunt, because if he is re elected,
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: is expected that inquiry for a start won't go away
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: and could even order yet another by election in his
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: seat if they find it transgressed. And if he hoped
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: that well, getting re elected this time by voted the
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: people will really.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: Stick it up to Westminster.
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: You know that that's the people's mandate, not the blobs mandate. Well,
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: there's a big problem because labor and the Conservatives sort
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: of snooking him a bit by saying they're actually not
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: going to run candidates against him, so his win is
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: going to seem quite empty.
• 42:38
  Speaker 18: Nigel Frage is having a hissy fit because the first
• 42:42
  Speaker 18: time he's actually having to deal with some real scrutiny.
• 42:45
  Speaker 18: What he needs to do is be honest about where
• 42:48
  Speaker 18: his fishy five million pounds came from. We will be
• 42:51
  Speaker 18: standing a candidate in the real by election, which will
• 42:53
  Speaker 18: follow the Standard's investigation. We're not standing a candidate in
• 42:57
  Speaker 18: the fake by election.
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: John me again from France, still on his holiday. Is
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: there a regular commentator and very devoted gifts of the
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: show for which we are grateful. GM News STA present
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: to Petrick Christie's I want to make sure Petrick that
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: you know is appreciated.
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: But anyway, what do you think Nigel's up to? Because
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: I can see how this is going to work for him.
• 43:22
  Speaker 19: Yeah, I mean, look, basically what's happened is that he
• 43:24
  Speaker 19: is being handed by the press over this. They've been
• 43:26
  Speaker 19: turning up at his daughter's home and say what you
• 43:28
  Speaker 19: like about Nigelie has never ever, ever brought his family
• 43:31
  Speaker 19: into politics, and that's really wound him.
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: Up that they've been doorstepping his daughter.
• 43:37
  Speaker 19: Every single media interview now is always around this five
• 43:39
  Speaker 19: million quid and nothing really has changed in that he's
• 43:42
  Speaker 19: given his answer about it, there is an inquiry into it,
• 43:45
  Speaker 19: and nothing has changed since then.
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: So he's getting very frustrated.
• 43:48
  Speaker 19: So I think what he thought he'd do is basically
• 43:50
  Speaker 19: make the point that other political parties don't like people
• 43:53
  Speaker 19: who earn money or have business acumen, which is why
• 43:55
  Speaker 19: we have a parliament full of overpro to school children.
• 43:58
  Speaker 4: I'm going to call a by election. Everyone that the
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: public doesn't care.
• 44:02
  Speaker 19: The public doesn't care about this five million But as
• 44:04
  Speaker 19: you've identified, it's kind of backfired because the only person
• 44:07
  Speaker 19: standing against him now is a man called Count Binface
• 44:11
  Speaker 19: who dresses up as a.
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: Trash bin and.
• 44:15
  Speaker 19: It's just it's just Barrage versus bin Face at the moment.
• 44:19
  Speaker 19: But you've mentioned that he's probably gonna win this dielection.
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: He should. He should win the by election obviously, even
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: if it is versus Binface.
• 44:25
  Speaker 19: However, there is a serious risk here, Andrew genuinely that
• 44:29
  Speaker 19: the man who is leading the party that is ahead
• 44:31
  Speaker 19: in the polls and is probably going to be the
• 44:33
  Speaker 19: next prime minister loses to a bloke dressed as a
• 44:35
  Speaker 19: dust bin and he's out of the running. And there
• 44:38
  Speaker 19: is precedent for this in Britain. There is president for
• 44:41
  Speaker 19: three consecutive mayoral elections in a place called Hartlepool, a
• 44:45
  Speaker 19: bloke who was a football mascot dressed as a monkey
• 44:50
  Speaker 19: called hangus the monkey one.
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: He did the hand trick.
• 44:53
  Speaker 19: He won't, he terms so seriously, this is this is ludicrous,
• 44:58
  Speaker 19: Nagel Farranch. I hope he does, but he might lose
• 45:00
  Speaker 19: to a blow dressed as a bin, and it's and
• 45:03
  Speaker 19: it's all ridiculous.
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: Yes, well, and there'll be many people I think maybe
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: attempted to vote to get exactly that kind of very
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: typical British kind of reaction. Marth and Goon show the
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: whole catastrophe these donations, though, I mean, it's not so
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: much that he you know, people are resentful that he
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: got rich when he wasn't in politics. It's more the
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: issue is that he didn't declare it. Right, How serious
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: are these donations that he supposedly didn't declar So he.
• 45:39
  Speaker 19: Says he wasn't politically active at the time. Now, there's
• 45:41
  Speaker 19: always a very fine line with that with Nigel Franch.
• 45:44
  Speaker 19: You know, Nigel Franch, as long as there's breath in
• 45:45
  Speaker 19: his body, I suppose is a political figure. However, he
• 45:48
  Speaker 19: was not standing for mainstream politics. He was doing things
• 45:51
  Speaker 19: like presenting a show on gb News. He was a
• 45:52
  Speaker 19: social media influencer. He was on shows like I'm a Celebrity,
• 45:55
  Speaker 19: Get Me out of Here. That was his kind of life, right,
• 45:58
  Speaker 19: So he says that there was a clear distinction between
• 46:00
  Speaker 19: his public and his political life. And this donation of
• 46:04
  Speaker 19: five million British pounds came then, and it was to
• 46:06
  Speaker 19: spend on his security. And he's revealed a series of
• 46:09
  Speaker 19: very high profile and very serious threats to his life
• 46:12
  Speaker 19: and he's going to need security for the rest of
• 46:14
  Speaker 19: his life. What people who are criticizing him for over
• 46:17
  Speaker 19: this have not yet been able to do is they've
• 46:19
  Speaker 19: not been able to provide a smoking gun in terms
• 46:21
  Speaker 19: of what did Nigel do for the money other than
• 46:25
  Speaker 19: spend it on security. Yeah, yeah, particular policy that is,
• 46:29
  Speaker 19: they've not found that yet. And for a lot of people,
• 46:32
  Speaker 19: look you and I included, don't get me wrong, five
• 46:34
  Speaker 19: million quid is a lot of money.
• 46:35
  Speaker 4: But Nagel Frad is a very unique.
• 46:37
  Speaker 19: Kind of guy right, and and he's made a lot
• 46:39
  Speaker 19: of friends along the way, and there are a lot
• 46:40
  Speaker 19: of people with a lot of money out there who
• 46:43
  Speaker 19: do like him and are willing to help support him
• 46:45
  Speaker 19: in his personal life.
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: So that's where he's at.
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: Charity's fine subscribed to mine if they were out there. Meanwhile,
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: Prince Harry is becking into Britain, but again without Megan Marckle,
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: his wife.
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: But it's been a very unhappy return, Pa Tricky.
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: He came back to learn that he and six other celebrities,
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: including Elton John, have lost the case against The Daily Mail,
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: which they claimed was a wicked newspaper that he used
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: the legal means to report on them. Harry is blasted
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: the judge, saying it's a complete and obvious whitewash, but
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: sadly not altogether unexpected. However, the lengths to which the
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: court has gone to exonerate the Mail is as shocking
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: as it is totally unwarranted. Bit dodgy, a royal attacking
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: a judge that had got to say was it a whitewash?
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: Or did Harry make claims against journals he just couldn't
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: back up.
• 47:36
  Speaker 19: Look spanking for Prince Harry and that's not one of
• 47:38
  Speaker 19: the Daily Mail headlines that he was complaining about. Okay,
• 47:41
  Speaker 19: the judge dismissed ninety seven claims that Harry made. It's
• 47:44
  Speaker 19: a four hundred page court document which you won't be
• 47:46
  Speaker 19: able to read because it's not written in crayon.
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: It's not a whitewash at all. He just was not
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: able to prove anything.
• 47:53
  Speaker 19: And Paul Daker, who was in charge of the Mail
• 47:55
  Speaker 19: at the time, has provided the quote of the day
• 47:57
  Speaker 19: Harry was taking the biscuit that isn't a laundry in
• 48:00
  Speaker 19: the cosmos big enough to dry the dirty linen. He's
• 48:04
  Speaker 19: aired about his own family and on that. By the way,
• 48:07
  Speaker 19: he's in London at the moment, and the rumor is
• 48:10
  Speaker 19: that Megan Markle isn't with him because the Royals wanted
• 48:13
  Speaker 19: her to sign an NDA that nothing of their meeting
• 48:16
  Speaker 19: would be leaked and she refused to sign it as humor.
• 48:19
  Speaker 19: But that indicates, if true, the kind of people they are.
• 48:22
  Speaker 19: It could cost Harry and the other claimants here around
• 48:25
  Speaker 19: fifty million pounds and I hope he has.
• 48:28
  Speaker 4: Whoa whoa he had to pay up.
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: Oh, that is gonna hurt. Well, he tried and he
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: threw the icy loss.
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: You pay, you pay, but Patrick Christie's thank you so
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: much for your time. Up next this Sherry hosted by
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: the excellent James McPherson.
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: Couldn't that
