Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Live from the Skying New Center.
- 0:03Speaker 2: This is the Kenny Report. Thanks Ed, and thanks for
- 0:08Speaker 2: joining me tonight.
- 0:09Speaker 3: Angus Taylor's alternative policy platform strikes a chord with voters,
- 0:14Speaker 3: while Pauline Hansen dines out on criticism from the elites.
- 0:18Speaker 3: Outgoing Senator Jonathan Dunham joins me with a new Middle
- 0:21Speaker 3: East piece, Steel in the offing, and more United Nations
- 0:25Speaker 3: staff sacked in Gaza over links to Hummas. I'll cross
- 0:29Speaker 3: to Israel's Deputy Foreign Minister, Sharon Haskell and get the latest.
- 0:33Speaker 3: Also from Kristen Tate in the US, and speaking of war,
- 0:37Speaker 3: you won't believe the weapons that our soldiers are being
- 0:41Speaker 3: trained to make. Also Tim Blair, Cusi O'Brien and Stephen
- 0:46Speaker 3: Sener tempo on Shark Cuhls and the fire the Lyre campaign.
- 0:54Speaker 3: The One Nation juggernaut continues to dominate federal politics and
- 0:57Speaker 3: national debate, and the backlash against Arline Hanson follows a
- 1:01Speaker 3: familiar pattern. Rather than come up with alternatives, attack specific policies,
- 1:07Speaker 3: or engage in debate, we often get the same old abuse,
- 1:12Speaker 3: the sort of political demonization that just ends up being
- 1:15Speaker 3: win beneath the wings of those who are targeted. We've
- 1:19Speaker 3: seen this play out strongly with Donald Trump.
- 1:23Speaker 4: Yes, I have.
- 1:25Speaker 5: Thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House.
- 1:29Speaker 2: I mean, he's so blatantly stupid.
- 1:33Speaker 6: He's a punk, he's a dog, he's a pig, he's
- 1:37Speaker 6: a can a bullet artist.
- 1:39Speaker 2: I'd like to punch him in the face.
- 1:41Speaker 4: My ankle change because I'll need to learn to speak Spanish,
- 1:44Speaker 4: because I will move to Spain or somewhere. It's beyond
- 1:50Speaker 4: my comprehension if Trump won, It's just.
- 1:56Speaker 2: It's too crazy, too crazy.
- 1:59Speaker 7: How and.
- 2:01Speaker 3: Now Hanson in Australia, well, she's getting similar treatment, but
- 2:05Speaker 3: it tends only to drive more supporters to her and
- 2:09Speaker 3: it certainly doesn't phase her, as she showed this morning
- 2:12Speaker 3: with Ben Fordham on two GB.
- 2:15Speaker 8: We know you've got lots of fans and look, I
- 2:17Speaker 8: can show you some of the text messages that are
- 2:19Speaker 8: coming in right now from a whole range of people.
- 2:21Speaker 8: But it sounds like the celebrity chef Neil Perry, he's
- 2:25Speaker 8: not a Pauline Hanson fan. He's been asked about you
- 2:28Speaker 8: during an interview. This is Neil Perry, the celebrity chef.
- 2:32Speaker 3: Do you think Pauline could be Prime Minister of Australia.
- 2:36Speaker 7: I wouldn't think so, but if she is, I won't
- 2:38Speaker 7: be living in Australia.
- 2:40Speaker 8: Neil Perry reckons you'll leave the country if you become.
- 2:42Speaker 5: Prime ministrant, so that doesn't worry me.
- 2:45Speaker 8: I couldn't care less.
- 2:48Speaker 3: Hanson is pretty committed to her own recipe for the nation,
- 2:52Speaker 3: one that hasn't really changed in thirty years. Still for
- 2:55Speaker 3: the coalition, if the real way to see off one
- 2:58Speaker 3: Nation and the Albanyese Labour government is to argue for
- 3:02Speaker 3: decent policies, then the latest polling shows Angus Taylor has
- 3:06Speaker 3: made a good start. The policy prescription that the opposition
- 3:10Speaker 3: leader laid out in his budget in reply has been
- 3:12Speaker 3: met with widespread public approval. According to the latest polling
- 3:16Speaker 3: from Resolve in the nine media newspapers, on limiting immigration
- 3:21Speaker 3: numbers to housing supply, forty two percent of respondents support
- 3:26Speaker 3: the move, while less than half as many oppose it,
- 3:29Speaker 3: with others of course undecided. On indexation of personal income
- 3:34Speaker 3: tax rates, there is forty six percent approval and only
- 3:38Speaker 3: nine percent opposed, and more than half of the people's
- 3:42Speaker 3: support extending the life of coal fired power stations to
- 3:46Speaker 3: keep prices down and supplies up, while forty eight percent
- 3:50Speaker 3: favor new generation sources including nuclear and only eighteen percent
- 3:55Speaker 3: are opposed. Almost half of all respondents support restrainsting welfare
- 4:00Speaker 3: payments to non citizens, a move opposed by only twenty
- 4:05Speaker 3: five percent, and unsurprisingly, forty two percent of voters favor
- 4:10Speaker 3: getting rid of Labour's negative gearing and capital gains tax changes,
- 4:15Speaker 3: with only seventeen percent of people wanting to stick with
- 4:19Speaker 3: the policies Labor broke promises to introduce. That's a big
- 4:25Speaker 3: endorsement for Taylor's policy agenda and the anger over Labour's
- 4:30Speaker 3: broken promises is a long way from losing steam.
- 4:33Speaker 2: As we saw on Breakfast TV, there's a.
- 4:36Speaker 9: Point in which Australians have this.
- 4:38Speaker 10: You didn't give it to people at the last election.
- 4:40Speaker 10: That is, you didn't give it to people at the
- 4:41Speaker 10: last election. You lied before the Australian before the last election.
- 4:46Speaker 10: You're now going through and what Austrainants get to have
- 4:52Speaker 10: their say?
- 4:53Speaker 3: Too many week books a taking on labor. At the moment,
- 4:57Speaker 3: it's not that hard. The broken promises and the tax
- 5:00Speaker 3: rabs have made it pretty easy. Mainstream laid back comedian
- 5:04Speaker 3: and television host Dave Hughes has become a key barometer
- 5:09Speaker 3: of the public mood.
- 5:11Speaker 1: What's that, Skippy?
- 5:12Speaker 11: What's that?
- 5:13Speaker 1: What's that?
- 5:16Speaker 2: What elbow did was UnAustralian. Yeah, you're right, clever kangaroo Hay.
- 5:25Speaker 3: There is a sentiment to tap into. There isn't there.
- 5:28Speaker 3: Even Skippy can see that. And the way forward, the
- 5:31Speaker 3: way forward for the Coalition is obviously offering better policies.
- 5:34Speaker 2: Not getting into arguments with one nation.
- 5:37Speaker 3: Senator James Patterson has echoed that advice, telling colleagues not
- 5:41Speaker 3: to get into media debates about one nation because that
- 5:44Speaker 3: only helps labor and one nation. And in the Northern
- 5:49Speaker 3: Territory today Taylor kept labor in his sites.
- 5:53Speaker 12: This is a government that wants to impose taxes my
- 5:56Speaker 12: small businesses, on people saving, on people investing, and they're
- 6:00Speaker 12: imposing rising income taxes on everybody driven by their home
- 6:04Speaker 12: grain inflation. If they take those taxes away, Australians will
- 6:09Speaker 12: be better off. It will take pressure off them. Australians
- 6:12Speaker 12: are feeling the pressure right now.
- 6:14Speaker 3: Yeah, the opposition leader is yet to see much return
- 6:17Speaker 3: in the opinion polls, but the Coalition does seem to
- 6:20Speaker 3: have been nudged in the right direction, and there are
- 6:23Speaker 3: already plenty of encouraging signs about the policies they've put
- 6:27Speaker 3: forward so far. While we're on one nation, let's look
- 6:34Speaker 3: at the sort of craziness from our political leadership and
- 6:37Speaker 3: institutions that helps to drive people to vote for one
- 6:42Speaker 3: nation because they're railing against the direction of the country
- 6:46Speaker 3: and what they see is the uniparty political consensus. Pauline
- 6:50Speaker 3: Hansen has highlighted a Defense Force media post that highlights
- 6:55Speaker 3: indigenous weapon making. I kid you not, while under Orcus
- 7:01Speaker 3: we're spending hundreds of billions of dollars hoping to get
- 7:05Speaker 3: nuclear powered, stealthy submarines with the most sophisticated weaponry available,
- 7:11Speaker 3: have a look at this. Our Defense Force personnel are
- 7:15Speaker 3: being trained in how to make indigenous weapons, including spears,
- 7:20Speaker 3: clubs and axes. The Defense Australia article says Australian Army
- 7:26Speaker 3: personnel learned the art of indigenous weapon making during Exercise
- 7:30Speaker 3: Green Skin. This included finding correct trees to make craft clubs, spears, axes,
- 7:38Speaker 3: and coolermonts apparently a type of bowl. Pretty astounding stuff,
- 7:43Speaker 3: isn't it. This was part of a four day Defense
- 7:46Speaker 3: Force course and one Nation leader Pauline Hansen has lashed out,
- 7:51Speaker 3: saying the Department of Defense has been caught forcing soldiers
- 7:55Speaker 3: to craft indigenous spears instead of practicing modern day war fighting.
- 8:01Speaker 3: I hope spears and clubs aren't our new plan for
- 8:04Speaker 3: defense instead of weapons and drones.
- 8:09Speaker 2: It's a fair point.
- 8:11Speaker 3: On the bright side, spears and clubs are cheap and
- 8:14Speaker 3: they're a fair chance to be delivered on time.
- 8:20Speaker 2: Now, I want you to take your mind.
- 8:22Speaker 3: Back to the horrors of October seventh, twenty twenty three,
- 8:26Speaker 3: when thousands of Hummus terrorists and their Palestinian supporters stormed
- 8:31Speaker 3: out of Gaza through the border fence with Israel and
- 8:34Speaker 3: invaded Israeli towns, villages, and kibbutzen. It was one of
- 8:39Speaker 3: the most vile and barbaric terror attacks of all time.
- 8:43Speaker 2: Women were raped, babies mutilated.
- 8:45Speaker 3: The elderly, young, young girls, whole families all tortured, murdered, violated.
- 8:53Speaker 3: Twelve hundred were killed, and hundreds more were kidnapped and tortured,
- 8:58Speaker 3: some killed.
- 9:00Speaker 2: Eventually freed two years later.
- 9:04Speaker 3: The reason I mentioned this is that allegations were raised
- 9:07Speaker 3: back then about United Nations workers being involved in these
- 9:11Speaker 3: terror attacks.
- 9:13Speaker 2: The un Relief and Works.
- 9:14Speaker 3: Agency or UNRA, is the arm that delivers unaid in
- 9:19Speaker 3: Gaza and the West Bank. It's done so for decades
- 9:23Speaker 3: and it's often been accused of working with terror groups.
- 9:26Speaker 3: Australia sends aid to the Palestinian territories through UNRA. Labour
- 9:31Speaker 3: doubled that amount from ten million dollars a year to
- 9:35Speaker 3: twenty million dollars a year and back. In twenty twenty four,
- 9:38Speaker 3: after those allegations were made, the un sacked seven people
- 9:43Speaker 3: from UNRA for being involved in the October the seventh atrocities.
- 9:48Speaker 3: So an organization that gets taxpayers money from Australia was
- 9:52Speaker 3: involved in horrific Islamist extremist terrorism against Israel. At the time,
- 10:00Speaker 3: Australia halted its funding, but within three months Foreign Minister
- 10:04Speaker 3: Pennywong reinstated it, saying all the problems and concerns had
- 10:09Speaker 3: been fixed.
- 10:11Speaker 7: The best available current advice from agencies and the Australian
- 10:15Speaker 7: government lawyers is that UNRA is not a terrorist organization
- 10:19Speaker 7: and that existing and additional safeguards sufficiently protect Australian taxpayer funding.
- 10:25Speaker 7: The Australian government is now finalizing an updated funding agreement
- 10:28Speaker 7: that will include stringent conditions such as guarantees of staff
- 10:32Speaker 7: neutrality and confidence in supply chains.
- 10:36Speaker 3: Well, fast forward to last week and the US AID
- 10:39Speaker 3: organization notified the State Department of one hundred and one
- 10:43Speaker 3: current or former UNREST staff who they believed should be
- 10:47Speaker 3: disbarred or suspended because of links to Hummas or their
- 10:52Speaker 3: roles in the October the seventh atrocities, and now just
- 10:56Speaker 3: a week later, more departures from UNRA. The UN has
- 11:01Speaker 3: announced that seventy UNRA workers have been dismissed fired from
- 11:06Speaker 3: the aid agency after these accusations from Israel and the
- 11:11Speaker 3: UN Watch organization that they were affiliated with Hummas. Seventy
- 11:17Speaker 3: workers dismissed. The UN isn't saying much, but seventy more
- 11:22Speaker 3: people dismissed after concerns were raised about links to the
- 11:26Speaker 3: bloodthirsty Islamist.
- 11:28Speaker 2: Terrorist group of Hummas.
- 11:30Speaker 3: I repeat, twenty million dollars of your tax dollars go
- 11:36Speaker 3: to UNRA every year, plus extra millions for emergency relief
- 11:42Speaker 3: here and there and within the UNRA all along there
- 11:46Speaker 3: have been terrorist operatives.
- 11:49Speaker 2: What a sickening.
- 11:50Speaker 3: Misuse of your money in the name of our country. Typically,
- 11:55Speaker 3: this disgrace has not been reported by most media. I
- 11:59Speaker 3: asked the Office of Foreign Minister Penny Wong whether Australia
- 12:03Speaker 3: is reconsidering this funding in light of the latest developments.
- 12:08Speaker 3: They said a response from the Department of Foreign Affairs
- 12:11Speaker 3: saying they expect UNRA to investigate any credible allegations and
- 12:16Speaker 3: there can be no tolerance for members of a terrorist
- 12:19Speaker 3: organization to be working for UNRA. But the fact is
- 12:25Speaker 3: there has been such tolerance at least seventy seven such
- 12:29Speaker 3: cases school teachers and medical staff and the like who
- 12:32Speaker 3: are also.
- 12:34Speaker 2: Humm us terrorists and leaders.
- 12:37Speaker 3: And they still got twenty million dollars a year from
- 12:40Speaker 3: Australian taxpayers.
- 12:42Speaker 2: And then we wonder why peace is so elusive in
- 12:46Speaker 2: the Middle East.
- 12:50Speaker 3: Let's go to the Shadow Immigration and Home Affairs Minister,
- 12:53Speaker 3: Jonathan Dunham joining us from Hobart.
- 12:55Speaker 2: Jonathan, thanks for joining us.
- 12:56Speaker 3: First up, just on that, is it timed Australia cease
- 13:00Speaker 3: all funding to UNRUN until there's a clear bill of
- 13:03Speaker 3: health on what its operatives are doing in Gaza.
- 13:06Speaker 9: I think that's a very reasonable request, Chris.
- 13:09Speaker 13: The idea that we would be providing funding to an
- 13:12Speaker 13: organization that is spending money in a way that would
- 13:15Speaker 13: be inconsistent with what most Australians think is right. Is
- 13:19Speaker 13: something the government should look at and say, well, hang on,
- 13:21Speaker 13: maybe we should pull back. So I think it's entirely
- 13:23Speaker 13: reasonable to say cease funding until we have absolute clarity
- 13:27Speaker 13: we're not supporting those who are in fact our enemies.
- 13:32Speaker 13: So why they continue funding this, I don't know.
- 13:35Speaker 3: Now you must be very pleased please about that polling
- 13:38Speaker 3: from the nine media newspapers about the policies prescription you've
- 13:42Speaker 3: put forward where Angus Taylor and the Carlish and get
- 13:46Speaker 3: a lot of support for getting rid of those new
- 13:49Speaker 3: tax increases, the broken promises of labor, but also doing
- 13:52Speaker 3: more on energy security and indexation of tax rates.
- 13:58Speaker 13: Well, those polling results talk to some thing that we've
- 14:01Speaker 13: known about for a while, and I've been very clear
- 14:04Speaker 13: on a number of interviews I've done over the last
- 14:05Speaker 13: few days.
- 14:06Speaker 9: The first nine months of this term we wasted. We
- 14:09Speaker 9: did not.
- 14:09Speaker 13: Do what we needed to do when it came to
- 14:12Speaker 13: indicating to the Australian voting public that we heard what
- 14:16Speaker 13: they were saying to us after we so badly lost
- 14:18Speaker 13: the last election, and what we've been doing under Angus
- 14:21Speaker 13: since the change of leadership is putting out their policies
- 14:25Speaker 13: that deal with issues people are struggling with at the moment,
- 14:28Speaker 13: and of course whether it's in migration, whether it's energy,
- 14:31Speaker 13: whether it is in relation to cost of living and
- 14:33Speaker 13: therefore how much tax people the government are taking out
- 14:36Speaker 13: of people's pockets, those other things.
- 14:39Speaker 9: We need to be focusing on what we need to do.
- 14:41Speaker 13: Now to continue to capitalize on the good work Angus
- 14:45Speaker 13: has overseen in the coalition is to keep selling the
- 14:48Speaker 13: message about what our policies mean and how much better
- 14:52Speaker 13: Australians will be under our plan. So they are great numbers,
- 14:55Speaker 13: but gee, we've got a lot of work to do.
- 14:57Speaker 14: Yeah.
- 14:58Speaker 3: Look, there's a very strong immunity feeling of antipathy towards
- 15:02Speaker 3: the government over the broken promises and Anthony Albanezi in
- 15:06Speaker 3: particular for breaking his word one nation of picking up
- 15:09Speaker 3: on it. Here's the ad they're going to be showing
- 15:11Speaker 3: during State of Origin tomorrow night.
- 15:13Speaker 15: Always been a man of my word, or we have
- 15:16Speaker 15: no plans to change negative caring, or we've changed our position.
- 15:20Speaker 9: I stepped back one step. I didn't fall off the state.
- 15:23Speaker 15: See, reception was incredibly positive and not a single person
- 15:27Speaker 15: Heckle reducing power prices by two hundred and seventy five dollars.
- 15:31Speaker 2: That's a fool out life. My word is my bond.
- 15:41Speaker 3: But a canny report to editing in there as familiar
- 15:44Speaker 3: stuff to viewers of this program. But you must really
- 15:47Speaker 3: sense a long way out from the next election. Of course,
- 15:49Speaker 3: there's all sorts of confusion about, you know, polling between
- 15:52Speaker 3: yourselves and one Nation, but the anti labor sentiment must
- 15:56Speaker 3: be so strong in the elector do you sense that?
- 15:59Speaker 9: Without questions? And can I say game on?
- 16:01Speaker 13: This is where we're as liberals and Nationals, the coalition
- 16:05Speaker 13: need to actually come together.
- 16:06Speaker 9: And do what it is you've just shown us one
- 16:08Speaker 9: Nation are doing.
- 16:10Speaker 13: There is a huge amount of anger, resentment, antipathy toward
- 16:14Speaker 13: the government over broken promises. Here's our chance to make
- 16:17Speaker 13: our case about why people should vote for us, why
- 16:20Speaker 13: we should be able to have their trust restored in us.
- 16:24Speaker 9: And that is a very clever campaign there from one
- 16:26Speaker 9: nation and you're.
- 16:27Speaker 3: Suggesting soy to interrupt your suggesting one nation.
- 16:30Speaker 2: To giving you the lead there, No, certainly not.
- 16:33Speaker 9: What we have to do is continue doing what we're doing.
- 16:36Speaker 13: They've had a very successful fundraising campaign over the last
- 16:39Speaker 13: week or so and they're now spending that money in
- 16:41Speaker 13: a very clever way. But from budget reply, from Angus's
- 16:46Speaker 13: first day as opposition leader, he's been out pointing these
- 16:49Speaker 13: things out.
- 16:50Speaker 9: We have a job ahead of us with our question.
- 16:53Speaker 13: No one is denying that, but we've got to do
- 16:56Speaker 13: more of what you've just shown us when it comes
- 16:58Speaker 13: to communicating in creative ways to make sure people know
- 17:02Speaker 13: that well, if you are dismantled with this government, here's
- 17:05Speaker 13: a set of policies when it comes to immigration, energy
- 17:08Speaker 13: taxation and the like where you can park your vote
- 17:10Speaker 13: and you'll get a better outcome.
- 17:12Speaker 3: Tell me, Jonathan, why are you retiring from politics at
- 17:15Speaker 3: the end of the year. It seems to me that
- 17:17Speaker 3: you're on the up and up. You're really only just
- 17:19Speaker 3: starting to cut through as a federal politician and you're
- 17:22Speaker 3: the sort of articulate voice that the coalition needs.
- 17:26Speaker 9: Well.
- 17:26Speaker 13: As Albert Hubbert once said, graveyards are full of people
- 17:30Speaker 13: we cannot go on without. And you know, I've committed
- 17:35Speaker 13: twenty five years of my life too liberal politics in
- 17:37Speaker 13: this country. I've got three boys not so young anymore,
- 17:42Speaker 13: I mean seventeen, fifteen and eleven, but at a point
- 17:44Speaker 13: in their lives that actually do need me around and
- 17:48Speaker 13: they've given up a lot for me to continue to
- 17:50Speaker 13: do this. I think at this point in time, given
- 17:53Speaker 13: the amount of effort, time and energy it's taken for
- 17:57Speaker 13: my family, that is the right decision.
- 18:00Speaker 2: Is that what it's all about?
- 18:01Speaker 3: Being there for family mills, being there for weekend sport?
- 18:04Speaker 3: Is that what it's all about?
- 18:05Speaker 9: Yeah, absolutely it is. Let me tell you a little story.
- 18:09Speaker 13: On Sunday morning, I went out early to collect the
- 18:13Speaker 13: local newspaper, the Sunday Tasmania that broke the story about
- 18:16Speaker 13: my retirement, and I bought three copies for my sons
- 18:19Speaker 13: and I put them out for them to find in
- 18:21Speaker 13: the morning. In the morning, when my youngest son, Spencer
- 18:25Speaker 13: woke up, he was hurt to be reading the paper
- 18:28Speaker 13: and his comments when he read that article was I
- 18:32Speaker 13: never thought this.
- 18:32Speaker 9: Day would come, So, Yes, it is about my family.
- 18:35Speaker 13: It is hard to give up something I've been committed
- 18:37Speaker 13: to for my entire adult life. My professional life today
- 18:42Speaker 13: has been about the Liberal Party. It's been about what
- 18:45Speaker 13: we believe in and it is a massive decision for
- 18:50Speaker 13: me to walk away from that. But I'm doing that
- 18:53Speaker 13: for three boys I've been largely absent from and I
- 18:56Speaker 13: know there's a degree of cynicism or politicians stepping away
- 18:59Speaker 13: for family reasons. I can tell you now straight down
- 19:02Speaker 13: the lens. It is about them and I will never
- 19:05Speaker 13: regret this decision. I've given this job everything and I
- 19:09Speaker 13: look back with the degree of pride. But also I
- 19:12Speaker 13: know I'm letting my team down by not being around
- 19:15Speaker 13: to fight every election for him here on in. But
- 19:18Speaker 13: I've got to do what's right for my boys and
- 19:20Speaker 13: that's what I'm doing.
- 19:21Speaker 2: Well.
- 19:21Speaker 3: There are plenty of mothers and fathers watching now, Jonathan
- 19:25Speaker 3: who would agree.
- 19:26Speaker 2: I think that you'll never regret it.
- 19:27Speaker 3: So congratulations and on the foot of catching up again,
- 19:30Speaker 3: thank you, Jonathan Dunham. They're the liberal senator from Tasmania
- 19:35Speaker 3: who was going to give it away later this year.
- 19:38Speaker 3: Now I want to catch up with Tim Blair from
- 19:40Speaker 3: the Daily Telegraph. Face joins us from Broken Hill. Mate,
- 19:43Speaker 3: you're gone fossecking in Broken Hill this week.
- 19:47Speaker 16: Yes, I'm coming to you live from the kitchen of
- 19:49Speaker 16: our very close friend Jack Marx, a fellow obviously a
- 19:53Speaker 16: writer at The Australia. And yeah, I can vouch for
- 19:56Speaker 16: Broken Hill's great value was the jurist destination. I've been
- 19:59Speaker 16: his several ti and please everyone get in your gray
- 20:02Speaker 16: nomad vehicles and come and have a look.
- 20:04Speaker 3: Yeah, I read the other day you had another earth
- 20:06Speaker 3: tremor around Broken Hill.
- 20:08Speaker 2: I've been through a couple of times myself. I need
- 20:10Speaker 2: to take my boys there.
- 20:11Speaker 3: I think you can do a tour underground, which would
- 20:13Speaker 3: be fantastic.
- 20:15Speaker 2: Let's bring you though all the way to.
- 20:17Speaker 3: The coast and back to the shark debate. I'm interested
- 20:21Speaker 3: in your thoughts on the shark debate after that horrible
- 20:24Speaker 3: attack on the weekend, that young mother is still in
- 20:27Speaker 3: hospital fighting for a life, and the debate about culling
- 20:31Speaker 3: sparking up again. Your paper, the Daily Telegraph has polled
- 20:34Speaker 3: people and most people support some sort of a.
- 20:36Speaker 16: Cull Absolutely, there is a broad and it's been long
- 20:42Speaker 16: standing along developing. There's a broad anti human element in
- 20:46Speaker 16: modern society that will hold that, for example, sharks have
- 20:49Speaker 16: their territory. We should yield to the primacy of the shark. No,
- 20:54Speaker 16: because by the same logic we would yield to bacteria.
- 20:58Speaker 16: You know, it's funguses world wherever living in it. You
- 21:00Speaker 16: know the reason that we've reached the condition that we've reached,
- 21:04Speaker 16: this elevated, you know, incredible situation for humankind with extended
- 21:10Speaker 16: living spans on is because we've largely kept nature at bay,
- 21:14Speaker 16: the worst elements of nature. And now we've reached a
- 21:16Speaker 16: point in that societal evolution where we're not only keeping
- 21:19Speaker 16: nature at baby, but we're also keeping nature alive. There
- 21:22Speaker 16: is a balance here. We can keep enough shark's life
- 21:25Speaker 16: to make shark people happy while culling enough of them
- 21:29Speaker 16: to make us safe. And we've got horrific events like
- 21:33Speaker 16: this occurring, genuinely terrible, unimaginably bloody events. We've got to
- 21:39Speaker 16: take action. Culling is basically the start of it.
- 21:41Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, we don't let taipans and tiger snakes
- 21:45Speaker 3: wander around in our city parklands, right, We're clear them
- 21:47Speaker 3: out of there. There's other places where they're left alone.
- 21:50Speaker 3: And even if you netted, I think netting is largely
- 21:54Speaker 3: the answer rather than culling, although culing could have a.
- 21:57Speaker 2: Role, but if you net all the pop.
- 22:00Speaker 3: Fill of beaches in the whole of this country, it
- 22:02Speaker 3: still wouldn't amount to sort of one percent of our coastline.
- 22:07Speaker 16: Netting works, we know this just through the history of
- 22:11Speaker 16: them in Sydney alone. Obviously in other states they use
- 22:15Speaker 16: more aggressive methods, various line baitings and some but netting. Historically,
- 22:22Speaker 16: it functions, It works as a predictive measure. Can't go
- 22:25Speaker 16: past it. But coming when numbers are getting too severe
- 22:28Speaker 16: and the individual sharks are becoming too aggressive, Culling's the goat.
- 22:32Speaker 2: Now I want to get your thoughts on one nation.
- 22:34Speaker 3: I thought this was, you know, sort of redolent of
- 22:38Speaker 3: Trump derangement syndrome when we heard about the celebrity chef
- 22:43Speaker 3: Neil Perry.
- 22:43Speaker 2: Have a listen again.
- 22:45Speaker 8: This is Neil Perry, the celebrity chef.
- 22:48Speaker 3: Do you think Pauline could be Prime Minister of Australia.
- 22:52Speaker 9: I wouldn't think so.
- 22:53Speaker 6: But if she is, I won't be living in Australia.
- 22:56Speaker 8: Neil Perry reckons you'll leave the country if you become primaristinct.
- 23:00Speaker 1: That doesn't worry me.
- 23:01Speaker 8: I couldn't care less.
- 23:03Speaker 2: I wonder where he'd go to. Maybe the Trump's America.
- 23:07Speaker 2: It's not a lot of options.
- 23:09Speaker 16: I mean I put together a list, you know, a
- 23:11Speaker 16: decade ago of all the celebrities who said that would
- 23:14Speaker 16: leave in twenty sixteen. If Trump was elected, not a
- 23:16Speaker 16: single one left, none of them. It's an I realized
- 23:21Speaker 16: that that Neil Perry has perhaps a wider range of options.
- 23:25Speaker 16: But if we found out.
- 23:26Speaker 3: Maybe that's why Trump bring the wall to keep all
- 23:29Speaker 3: the celebrities in.
- 23:31Speaker 16: If we just found out that Neil Perry had been
- 23:34Speaker 16: living in Europe the last five years, we wouldn't have
- 23:36Speaker 16: known the difference.
- 23:36Speaker 2: Anyway.
- 23:38Speaker 3: I asked Pauline today a private conversation, but I don't
- 23:42Speaker 3: think she'd mind me sharing it. I said, what about
- 23:44Speaker 3: we later in the week, if you've got time, I'll
- 23:47Speaker 3: take you to lunch at to Neil Perry's restaurant. Will
- 23:49Speaker 3: take the cameras and see what the reaction is. I
- 23:52Speaker 3: don't want anybody spending any money in his restaurants.
- 23:54Speaker 16: Now, well, that's that's get a free feed out of it.
- 23:59Speaker 16: That's always to go with additions to put some food
- 24:01Speaker 16: in front.
- 24:01Speaker 2: Ofm It's good.
- 24:03Speaker 16: Neil and and Pauline. She really bond over there. Sheared
- 24:07Speaker 16: culinary history. I know it's a different end of the market,
- 24:10Speaker 16: but come on.
- 24:11Speaker 2: Together, get him on the sandwich press.
- 24:15Speaker 16: Nay, he could work a shift there like like like
- 24:19Speaker 16: it could be the reverse of what Trump did working
- 24:21Speaker 16: at McDonald's. We could get Pauline doing a shift at
- 24:23Speaker 16: Neil Perry's restaurant, coming up with a bit of a
- 24:25Speaker 16: bit of a twist on some of his favorites and
- 24:27Speaker 16: brilliant stuff.
- 24:28Speaker 3: Now, speaking of cameras and One Nation, I want to
- 24:31Speaker 3: show this a little clip that one of Pauline Hanson's
- 24:34Speaker 3: staffers put together when he went under cover and an
- 24:37Speaker 3: anti One Nation protest.
- 24:39Speaker 17: Have a look, I'm going to undercovered all protest against
- 24:42Speaker 17: my boss, Pauline Hanson.
- 24:43Speaker 16: I'm going to get dressed like a true progressive.
- 24:45Speaker 9: I'm good to go at him. It's just a gracist
- 24:55Speaker 9: and homophobe and a transfer I agree.
- 24:59Speaker 17: I mean I wouldn't be here right.
- 25:03Speaker 8: Well, there's more people here in the.
- 25:09Speaker 2: Job and we're going to stop.
- 25:16Speaker 10: That by uniting under one Nations.
- 25:21Speaker 2: He's not welcome here.
- 25:22Speaker 16: But it's been a big day process.
- 25:26Speaker 9: Nothing.
- 25:26Speaker 17: Come on, I haven't been doing anything around Socialist to.
- 25:34Speaker 1: Help him done.
- 25:37Speaker 2: It's pretty funny stuff. Good on him. All the phobes
- 25:39Speaker 2: are out there.
- 25:41Speaker 1: Absolutely.
- 25:42Speaker 16: It was interesting your previous guest, John o'donaian, he actually
- 25:47Speaker 16: he used these words to describe One Nation's tactics at
- 25:50Speaker 16: the moment, successful, creative, and clever. All of those were
- 25:55Speaker 16: very accurate descriptions of one nation's various publicity campaigns or stunts,
- 26:00Speaker 16: what do you want to call them. They're all working
- 26:01Speaker 16: and it's been a hell of a long time since
- 26:03Speaker 16: anyone's used the words clever, successful, or creative to describe
- 26:07Speaker 16: anything from the Coalition. So this is just more of that,
- 26:09Speaker 16: and it makes watching TV fun.
- 26:12Speaker 3: Yeah, it's pretty nimble stuff. You can have a bit
- 26:15Speaker 3: of fun while you're making serious points. Thanks for joining us, Tim,
- 26:17Speaker 3: appreciate it, Tim Blair. They're alive from the Silver City
- 26:20Speaker 3: of Broken Hill. We're going to get to a break
- 26:22Speaker 3: on the other side with a new Middle East peace
- 26:24Speaker 3: steel in the offing.
- 26:25Speaker 2: I'll cross to Kristen Tate in the US.
- 26:33Speaker 3: Kristin tatea in just a moment. But first, Donald Trump
- 26:36Speaker 3: is in France for the G seven. Here he is
- 26:38Speaker 3: speaking about the peace deal with Iran.
- 26:42Speaker 14: Yous all side and the strangers already partially opened. As
- 26:46Speaker 14: you know, they're doing a little hunting for a couple
- 26:49Speaker 14: of minds that they've already found. But it's essentially ships
- 26:55Speaker 14: are starting to go out now on Friday, it'll be
- 26:58Speaker 14: completely opened. We got along very well with Ran. It's
- 27:02Speaker 14: a different set of leaders.
- 27:05Speaker 3: Yeah, Donald Trump is suggesting it's all saw and sealed
- 27:08Speaker 3: and delivered ahead of Friday's signing ceremony. But as I
- 27:11Speaker 3: put to Kristin, there's still a lot of detail missing.
- 27:15Speaker 11: Yes, and that's precisely why the markets are relieved. But
- 27:19Speaker 11: analysts and normal voters are a little bit cautious because
- 27:23Speaker 11: for months we have heard versions of this story before.
- 27:26Speaker 11: You know, obviously, for months Trump has been saying a
- 27:29Speaker 11: deal was close, Iron has been sitting a deal was close,
- 27:32Speaker 11: and then fighting resumed or negotiations stalled.
- 27:35Speaker 1: The key difference this time is that there.
- 27:37Speaker 11: Does seem to be some sort of actual memorandum that.
- 27:41Speaker 1: Is going to be signed.
- 27:43Speaker 11: And this is more than just discussions about a potential
- 27:47Speaker 11: future agreement.
- 27:49Speaker 1: This deal would, I guess, you.
- 27:50Speaker 11: Know, apparently extend the ceasefire, reopened the streets of hormouse,
- 27:56Speaker 11: and potentially lead to sanction relief if Ron complies with
- 28:00Speaker 11: the guardrails.
- 28:01Speaker 1: That are put up, you know, about future.
- 28:04Speaker 11: Commitments with regard to any nuclear development at all. But
- 28:09Speaker 11: of course this is not you know, Trump is not
- 28:11Speaker 11: saying here that there is a detailed nuclear agreement in
- 28:14Speaker 11: place or anything like that. It's essentially extending the cease
- 28:18Speaker 11: fire and providing a framework for negotiations.
- 28:21Speaker 1: To take place.
- 28:22Speaker 11: What I find most interesting, though, Chris, about these recent
- 28:25Speaker 11: developments is that Trump and Nan Yahoo seem to be
- 28:28Speaker 11: more distant and a little bit more icy than in
- 28:32Speaker 11: months past. We've seen Israel sort of distance itself a
- 28:35Speaker 11: bit from the US, and Trump has really pushed more
- 28:38Speaker 11: toward diplomacy, and that's likely because of the political pressure
- 28:42Speaker 11: he's getting here at home.
- 28:43Speaker 3: Yeah, well, if you're Benjamin and Yahoo, you'll be worried
- 28:46Speaker 3: that Donald Trump has sold out here before the key
- 28:49Speaker 3: aims have been fulfilled, one of those lest being the
- 28:52Speaker 3: eradication or elimination of any nuclear weapons program by Iran.
- 28:57Speaker 3: He's the president on that topic, and the.
- 28:59Speaker 18: Main thing is will not have a different weapon. I
- 29:02Speaker 18: fully agree to that with strong policing bearers, and they
- 29:06Speaker 18: won't have to play a weapon, which is what it
- 29:09Speaker 18: was all about, because they probably would have used it
- 29:12Speaker 18: if they had it.
- 29:14Speaker 3: We will say, Kristin, but if there is a guarantee
- 29:17Speaker 3: that there's no nuclear weapons program in Iran, given the
- 29:20Speaker 3: way its missile facilities have been battered, its proxies have
- 29:24Speaker 3: been debilitated in the Middle East, and if the strikes
- 29:27Speaker 3: are opened again, then then the Middle East will be
- 29:30Speaker 3: much more prosperous and secure, and certainly Israel will be
- 29:34Speaker 3: then they have been for decades.
- 29:37Speaker 11: Of course, the real test will be whether this can
- 29:39Speaker 11: be turned into a real agreement over the next sixty days.
- 29:44Speaker 11: I'm cautiously optimistic, as many people in the.
- 29:47Speaker 1: US all right now.
- 29:49Speaker 11: But yes, Trump is facing a lot of political pressure
- 29:53Speaker 11: Chris to wrap this up and do so in a
- 29:55Speaker 11: way that prevents are On from getting a nuclear weapon,
- 29:58Speaker 11: but also eases gas pre is here at home and
- 30:01Speaker 11: shifts the conversation back to those domestic issues that are
- 30:04Speaker 11: so important to voters.
- 30:06Speaker 3: Now sticking on military matters. But a tragic event, and
- 30:10Speaker 3: that is the crash today of a US Air Force
- 30:14Speaker 3: B fifty two bomber. It's a part of a test program.
- 30:17Speaker 3: These are an old aircraft, a nineteen sixties aircraft the
- 30:20Speaker 3: Edwards Air Force Base in California.
- 30:23Speaker 2: It was taking off from This.
- 30:24Speaker 3: Plane crashed not long after takeoff and eight crew members
- 30:30Speaker 3: were killed.
- 30:31Speaker 6: His the US Air Force today, Edward's Air Force Base
- 30:36Speaker 6: experienced a horrible tragedy and we lost eight great Americans.
- 30:40Speaker 6: This crash is deemed to be unsurvivable and right now
- 30:43Speaker 6: our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those
- 30:47Speaker 6: that lost their loved ones. We don't have any indication
- 30:50Speaker 6: as to what the cause was of this. We won't
- 30:53Speaker 6: be able to release that information.
- 30:56Speaker 2: Yeah, this is terrible news. Christians.
- 30:58Speaker 3: So many American service per so no sacrifice their lives
- 31:02Speaker 3: all over the world so often.
- 31:04Speaker 1: Yes, this is of course tragic.
- 31:07Speaker 11: And you know the B fifty two, it's one of
- 31:09Speaker 11: the most striking examples of military modernization. This aircraft dates
- 31:13Speaker 11: back to the nineteen fifties and the Air Force just
- 31:16Speaker 11: keeps upgrading it because it can carry enormous payloads over
- 31:20Speaker 11: long distances, and it's expected to remain part of you know,
- 31:24Speaker 11: America's nuclear deterrent well into the middle of this century.
- 31:28Speaker 11: It's quite striking. This particular crash. It was tragic. It
- 31:32Speaker 11: happened during a modernization test program. That doesn't mean any
- 31:36Speaker 11: part of the modernization necessarily caused the crash. We still
- 31:39Speaker 11: don't know what caused this, but you know, that's something
- 31:42Speaker 11: that investigators will be closely looking at. But of course
- 31:45Speaker 11: this is very sad news. Eight American lives lost and
- 31:49Speaker 11: probably very patriotic Americans if they were on this plane.
- 31:52Speaker 3: Yeah, hats go out to those families and to all
- 31:55Speaker 3: Americans over that loss. So I do want to go
- 32:00Speaker 3: to a more grandie ice and more patriotic display of
- 32:03Speaker 3: American military power. I've got to ask you about what
- 32:06Speaker 3: happened at the White House yesterday.
- 32:07Speaker 2: I hear some of it.
- 32:10Speaker 3: Oh, this was something else, Tristan. This is more Donald
- 32:28Speaker 3: Trump than Donald Trump himself.
- 32:31Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it was. It was pretty ethic. Chris.
- 32:34Speaker 3: Uh.
- 32:35Speaker 11: You know, the this happened on Trump's birthday as well
- 32:38Speaker 11: as Flag Day. We also have America's two hundred and
- 32:41Speaker 11: fiftieth anniversary approaching, so yeah, this was a very.
- 32:46Speaker 1: Trump way to celebrate all of that.
- 32:50Speaker 11: The UFC kind of took over the White House lawn,
- 32:53Speaker 11: and you know, I got no I've got no problem
- 32:56Speaker 11: with it. I also think, though, we need to celebrate
- 33:00Speaker 11: America's two hundred and fiftieth anniversary in other.
- 33:03Speaker 1: Ways that it educates Americans about our history. But this
- 33:08Speaker 1: was pretty glorious.
- 33:10Speaker 2: It's pretty unreal. Are you a UFC fan?
- 33:14Speaker 1: I am, you know, I'm not a fan.
- 33:16Speaker 11: I don't know much about it, but I enjoy watching
- 33:19Speaker 11: it from time to time.
- 33:20Speaker 1: When I see these clips, it's entertaining.
- 33:22Speaker 3: It's ataining a run a bit more bloodlust than I'm
- 33:26Speaker 3: used to.
- 33:26Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us, Chris, and we'll catch you next week.
- 33:29Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you, Chris UFC.
- 33:33Speaker 3: Now, with the un employing terrorists and Donald Trump doing
- 33:36Speaker 3: a deal with Iran, what does all this mean for Israel?
- 33:39Speaker 3: I'll cross to Israel and catch up with a Deputy
- 33:42Speaker 3: Foreign Minister.
- 33:43Speaker 2: Sharon Haskell next.
- 33:50Speaker 3: Israel's Prime minister has given his first statement since a
- 33:53Speaker 3: peace deal was announced between the US and Iran, Benjamin Netanya,
- 33:57Speaker 3: who says his forces will remain in level and On
- 34:00Speaker 3: to combat Hesbala terrorists supported by Iran.
- 34:04Speaker 2: Despite the peace deal.
- 34:06Speaker 19: We will stay there as long as necessary. Iran wanted
- 34:09Speaker 19: us to retreat from there. It didn't happen. Do you
- 34:12Speaker 19: know why it didn't happen? Among other things, because I
- 34:14Speaker 19: stood very firmly. I was very decisive about this thing,
- 34:18Speaker 19: and I think that our American friends respect this decisiveness
- 34:21Speaker 19: and firm standing. We are staying there because we need
- 34:24Speaker 19: to protect the residents of the North.
- 34:27Speaker 3: Let's go to Israel and catch up. With Deputy Foreign
- 34:29Speaker 3: Minister Sharon Haskell. Good to talk to you again, Sharon,
- 34:34Speaker 3: I'm really really keen to get your perspective on this
- 34:38Speaker 3: piece steal.
- 34:38Speaker 2: We don't know a lot about it.
- 34:40Speaker 3: We know that Iran still has a large amount of
- 34:43Speaker 3: highly enriched uranium that is a threat to the world
- 34:47Speaker 3: and to Israel. Are you worried that Israel is being
- 34:51Speaker 3: sold out here by a US president desperate to get
- 34:54Speaker 3: a deal because of domestic political pressures.
- 34:58Speaker 5: Look, I'll say this so the first thing, this is
- 35:01Speaker 5: not a piece steal. This is a negotiation frame that
- 35:05Speaker 5: is being signed. It means that this is a framework
- 35:09Speaker 5: for sixty days that will allow the movement in the
- 35:13Speaker 5: hormones strait and will allow sixty days for negotiations about
- 35:20Speaker 5: the issues who concern us all the most in an
- 35:23Speaker 5: international community, which is the enriched uranium that Iran holds
- 35:28Speaker 5: the nuclear program. To be honest, I don't think that
- 35:34Speaker 5: Trump will make the same mistake that Obama did with
- 35:38Speaker 5: the negotiation of the nuclear treaty and nuclear agreement that
- 35:44Speaker 5: Obama signed in the past. President Trump know where were
- 35:48Speaker 5: the soft points and where were the dangers for the
- 35:52Speaker 5: entire world? And that's why he canceled this agreement. So
- 35:56Speaker 5: to tell me that during those sixty days now of
- 35:59Speaker 5: negotia ciations, President Trump will signed the same agreement as Obama,
- 36:05Speaker 5: I think it is unlikely, but obviously we have our concerns.
- 36:09Speaker 5: I mean, you know, as much as this is a
- 36:11Speaker 5: danger for the entire world, we know that Iran puts
- 36:15Speaker 5: her eyes for the first line on Israel. There was
- 36:21Speaker 5: agreement towards the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding, and
- 36:26Speaker 5: already yesterday we have been attacked by Chris Bala numerous times,
- 36:31Speaker 5: not just once. And so you know, do I have
- 36:34Speaker 5: high expectation about this framework of negotiations.
- 36:39Speaker 1: No.
- 36:40Speaker 5: I hear what the Iranian ursy are sane. I read
- 36:44Speaker 5: their remarks and their comments and what is happening within
- 36:49Speaker 5: inside and also the intelligence report who are indicating that
- 36:54Speaker 5: Iran is not ready to give up its nuclear program
- 36:57Speaker 5: or its nuclear enrichment.
- 36:59Speaker 3: I would have thought, definitely, Foreign Minister, that two things
- 37:02Speaker 3: are very clear and they don't vote well for the future.
- 37:06Speaker 3: One is that any deal that does not either neutralize
- 37:10Speaker 3: or remove all of Iran's nuclear weapons apparatus is no
- 37:16Speaker 3: good for Israel or the world. And also that Iran
- 37:20Speaker 3: has never shown any sense that it would abandon such
- 37:23Speaker 3: a program.
- 37:25Speaker 5: Absolutely, Chris, You're absolutely right, and these are my concerns.
- 37:30Speaker 5: You know, those sixty days, that doesn't mean that there's
- 37:33Speaker 5: an agreement in sealed. And President Trump have said again
- 37:38Speaker 5: and I heard that yesterday as well, that if Iran
- 37:41Speaker 5: does not comply with the nuclear needs and the restrictions
- 37:45Speaker 5: and whatever, there's always a military option still on the table.
- 37:51Speaker 5: So it's important to understand what it is. It is
- 37:53Speaker 5: not a peace agreement, by a framework for negotiation towards
- 37:59Speaker 5: you know, a solution. Now, do we hope that there's
- 38:03Speaker 5: going to be zero enrichment zero for nuclear program?
- 38:06Speaker 9: Of course?
- 38:07Speaker 5: I mean this was the exact soft points. And you
- 38:11Speaker 5: know the problems with the agreement that Obama signed on
- 38:16Speaker 5: where the first thing is that it gave after a
- 38:19Speaker 5: few years you around, the capability of starting to enrich uranium. Now,
- 38:24Speaker 5: they do not abide by the rule. They break the
- 38:27Speaker 5: rule constantly, They've proved it. You have to have a
- 38:30Speaker 5: very tough mechanism of inspection as well, because you know,
- 38:34Speaker 5: they are not abiding by any agreement they sign until now.
- 38:38Speaker 5: And that's while we have many concerns.
- 38:40Speaker 3: Sorry, to interrupted, Sharon, I want to quickly run through
- 38:43Speaker 3: a few things to get a.
- 38:44Speaker 2: Quick reaction from you.
- 38:46Speaker 3: One is what our Prime minister has said about these
- 38:49Speaker 3: developments today.
- 38:50Speaker 15: Here he is we want to see this hold. We
- 38:55Speaker 15: have called for de escalation for some time. This has
- 38:57Speaker 15: had an impact on inflation right around the world, including
- 39:02Speaker 15: of course here in Australia.
- 39:04Speaker 3: A response to Anthony Aberaneze's comments and his role in
- 39:08Speaker 3: all of this.
- 39:09Speaker 5: Look, I think that there is only one force that
- 39:14Speaker 5: needs to be spoken to and needs to be forced
- 39:18Speaker 5: to put away their fanatical ideology that's been destroying in
- 39:24Speaker 5: a chaotic way, in a violent way, the entire Middle East.
- 39:28Speaker 5: I mean, even in the last month you've seen how
- 39:30Speaker 5: he RAN's been attacking Kuwait and the UAE and the
- 39:33Speaker 5: American basis Israel as well. So there is only one
- 39:38Speaker 5: force that you need to turn and you have to
- 39:40Speaker 5: speak about it very clearly and very openly, otherwise you
- 39:44Speaker 5: let it slide away.
- 39:45Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 39:46Speaker 3: I don't hear our Prime minister criticizing around too often.
- 39:49Speaker 3: Let me get your response to to news that the
- 39:52Speaker 3: United Nations has sacked another seventy staff members from ANRA
- 39:57Speaker 3: after allegations were raised by your country and UN watch
- 40:01Speaker 3: about HAMAS affiliation and terrorist affiliation. Are you happy that
- 40:06Speaker 3: countries like Australia are still pumping millions of dollars into
- 40:09Speaker 3: ANDRA when HAMAS is obviously deeply embedded in the organization.
- 40:14Speaker 5: Look, this is too little, too late to be honest.
- 40:17Speaker 5: Already almost two years ago we've sent a detailed report
- 40:23Speaker 5: about hundreds of employees of ANDRA who are part of
- 40:26Speaker 5: the commacist organization. The United Nations have turned a blind eye.
- 40:31Speaker 5: I can tell you I went through parliaments, including the
- 40:34Speaker 5: Australian Parliament to show them evidence already eight and seven
- 40:39Speaker 5: years ago, all evidence how the money that Australian hardworking
- 40:45Speaker 5: families that are paying their taxes is being shipped into Gaza,
- 40:50Speaker 5: into ANRA and is being used by a terrorist organization
- 40:54Speaker 5: to kill and murder Jews and people turned away and
- 40:58Speaker 5: look the other way and can continuing to contribute to
- 41:01Speaker 5: this terrorist organization. This will not stop. There's another option
- 41:06Speaker 5: to give humanitarian aid and this is through any other
- 41:09Speaker 5: humanitarian organization.
- 41:11Speaker 3: But UNRU Deputy Foreign Minister, a big topic, but we're
- 41:16Speaker 3: pressed for time.
- 41:16Speaker 2: A quick answer please.
- 41:18Speaker 3: Our Australian government is offering support to flotilla Gaza flotilla
- 41:23Speaker 3: members who claim to have been tortured and even sexually
- 41:27Speaker 3: abused by Israeli forces, will there be a proper investigation?
- 41:32Speaker 5: Look to be honest, Chris, this is not going to help.
- 41:35Speaker 5: Whether there is going to be an investigation or there
- 41:38Speaker 5: isn't going to be investigation, whether we show the innocence
- 41:42Speaker 5: and that they are literally lying, Okay, it doesn't matter
- 41:47Speaker 5: because from our experience, the Australian government is going to
- 41:50Speaker 5: accuse Israel anyway. So let me just remind you about
- 41:54Speaker 5: the report about the World Central Kitchen where we have
- 41:58Speaker 5: opened up our military form to an independent investigation by
- 42:03Speaker 5: an Australian military personnel that you've sent to Israel and
- 42:07Speaker 5: we have let him enter investigated our soldiers investigate.
- 42:12Speaker 1: You know, during a time of foreign Just.
- 42:15Speaker 5: One more sentence, and the reports showed that was unintentional.
- 42:20Speaker 5: He wrote it in the last page that this event
- 42:23Speaker 5: was unintentional. And what if Penny Won did the first
- 42:26Speaker 5: declaration she said it was intentional. So you tell me,
- 42:31Speaker 5: how is that going to help Israel? Regardless whether it
- 42:35Speaker 5: is you know, going to prove it, we are still
- 42:38Speaker 5: going to be accused by the foreign Minister probably.
- 42:42Speaker 3: Thanks so much for joining us. I appreciate your time.
- 42:44Speaker 3: Sharon Haskill, Deputy Foreign Minister of Israel. We're going to
- 42:48Speaker 3: get to a break on the other side of that.
- 42:49Speaker 3: Cysia Broaden and Steven sent Tampa joined me talking about
- 42:53Speaker 3: the fire of the Liar campaign, among other things. Let's
- 43:01Speaker 3: go to our Tuesday panel now and joining us from
- 43:03Speaker 3: Melbourne as ever Is News Corp National Education Editor Susi
- 43:08Speaker 3: O'Brien and two Double C breakfast radio host in Canbras
- 43:12Speaker 3: Steven Center Tempo. Good to talk to you both. After
- 43:14Speaker 3: a couple of weeks. I've got to go on this
- 43:17Speaker 3: fire the liar campaign.
- 43:18Speaker 2: I mean, we've all.
- 43:19Speaker 3: Joked and taunted politicians for years about being liars, Stephen,
- 43:24Speaker 3: but this one really bites right because the whole country
- 43:28Speaker 3: can see it.
- 43:30Speaker 20: No doubt about it. I think there's two important points
- 43:32Speaker 20: here though. The first thing is is that it's one
- 43:34Speaker 20: thing to read the polls and suggest that there's a
- 43:36Speaker 20: surge toward one's nation. It's another thing for somewhere in
- 43:39Speaker 20: the vicinity of seventy thousand Australians put their hand in
- 43:42Speaker 20: their pocket in the middle of the cost of living
- 43:44Speaker 20: crisis and hand money over to one nation. This says
- 43:47Speaker 20: that the movement is real and it's not going anywhere
- 43:50Speaker 20: anywhere anytime soon. But the other thing is is people
- 43:52Speaker 20: are now invested in it. So even if they start
- 43:55Speaker 20: to think, well, maybe paul En Hanson is not the
- 43:57Speaker 20: answer anymore, because they've forked out their own money, They're
- 44:00Speaker 20: probably going to stick with it because I don't want
- 44:01Speaker 20: to prove themselves wrong. But the other point I'd make
- 44:04Speaker 20: here is I don't know that it's smart to be
- 44:06Speaker 20: spending all this money on an attack AD two years
- 44:09Speaker 20: out from the election. I know it's trying to drive
- 44:12Speaker 20: more donations, but I think it sort of highlights the
- 44:16Speaker 20: I guess the problem that I have in One Nation
- 44:19Speaker 20: is whether or not they're sophisticated enough to be an
- 44:21Speaker 20: alternative government. But they've certainly captured the nation and that's
- 44:25Speaker 20: got to be taken seriously.
- 44:26Speaker 3: Well, that's a perfect segue to go to Susie in Victoria,
- 44:30Speaker 3: because I think this is part of One Nation's strategy,
- 44:33Speaker 3: isn't it, Susie. They're not thinking about the next federal election.
- 44:36Speaker 3: They get their eye on your state election this November.
- 44:41Speaker 17: Yeah, it's just going to be fascinating. I mean, I
- 44:44Speaker 17: think By the Liar is just such clever politicking. I'm
- 44:47Speaker 17: glad that it's not Ditch the Witch, though I really
- 44:50Speaker 17: don't like that one. But you know, we do remember
- 44:52Speaker 17: those kind of slogans, and you better believe that we
- 44:54Speaker 17: will hear this a lot over the next few months
- 44:57Speaker 17: until the Victorian election, but also until the federal election.
- 45:01Speaker 17: And it's kind of that that got those kind of
- 45:03Speaker 17: snappy slogans like that, like whether it's it's time back
- 45:09Speaker 17: in the seventies or you know, Kevin O seven couldn't even.
- 45:14Speaker 1: Think of it.
- 45:15Speaker 17: They're things that people come back to time and time again.
- 45:18Speaker 17: It's a real shorthand and a very effective way to
- 45:21Speaker 17: deliver a message.
- 45:22Speaker 9: Susie.
- 45:23Speaker 3: You've watched this over many years with politicians of different stripes,
- 45:28Speaker 3: of different levels. And the point here is it works
- 45:31Speaker 3: because it's true. It resonates is because people see that
- 45:35Speaker 3: Albo told them a lie. Albo has broken their trust.
- 45:39Speaker 3: I don't think he can ever recover.
- 45:40Speaker 2: That, can he.
- 45:43Speaker 17: Well, it's going to take I mean they would be
- 45:45Speaker 17: hoping that by and they were counting on this, I mean,
- 45:48Speaker 17: labor got arrogant. They were counting on the fact that
- 45:51Speaker 17: this would all blow over by the time they have
- 45:55Speaker 17: to face the polls. But these kind of attack AADs
- 45:58Speaker 17: the fact, as Stephen said, people raised four million dollars.
- 46:02Speaker 17: That's going to be seen by a whole lot of
- 46:04Speaker 17: people on Origin Night plus elsewhere. People are invested and
- 46:09Speaker 17: people are willing to put their hardened money behind a
- 46:11Speaker 17: campaign like this. It's not going away anytime soon.
- 46:16Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he's finished. I think Albo's finished. Just
- 46:18Speaker 3: like you see a picture of crocodile dundee, now you
- 46:22Speaker 3: think you know, you call that a knife. Anyone sees
- 46:25Speaker 3: a picture of Albow, they think liar, They think liar.
- 46:27Speaker 2: That he has become a byword for liar.
- 46:30Speaker 3: Now, I've always been suspicious of comedians getting into politics.
- 46:34Speaker 3: Has happened so often in the US, and happens on
- 46:37Speaker 3: all the ABC comedy programs. But Dave Hughes, a fantastic
- 46:42Speaker 3: Victorian comedian, He's gone.
- 46:44Speaker 2: The whole hog on Albo. He's his latest.
- 46:47Speaker 1: What's that, Skippy, what's up? What's up?
- 46:52Speaker 2: What Elbow did? Was an Australian.
- 46:56Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right, Stephen, and Skippy and Dave Hughes are
- 47:02Speaker 3: calling you out in Australian.
- 47:03Speaker 2: You've got a problem.
- 47:05Speaker 20: When left wing comedians are calling out a labor government.
- 47:08Speaker 20: You know they're on the ropes. There's no two ways
- 47:10Speaker 20: about that, and I think Dave Hughes has actually nailed it.
- 47:13Speaker 20: Never been particularly a fan of Dave Hughes, but I
- 47:14Speaker 20: think his commentary on politics has been absolutely outstanding. And
- 47:19Speaker 20: I think the best thing that happened to him today
- 47:20Speaker 20: is a former Front roller that used to play for
- 47:22Speaker 20: Queensland and State of Origin, Marty Beller, who's taken too
- 47:26Speaker 20: many hits in the scrums, has decided he's a political
- 47:28Speaker 20: commentator now and has come out and hit at Dave Hughes.
- 47:30Speaker 20: I think this is going to be exactly like One Nation.
- 47:32Speaker 20: If you keep attacking Pauline Hanson.
- 47:34Speaker 3: She keeps surging, Yeah, yeah, Now quickly, Susie, can you
- 47:38Speaker 3: explain to me why we should be teaching our soldiers
- 47:40Speaker 3: how to make spears and clubs?
- 47:44Speaker 1: Well?
- 47:45Speaker 17: Can you believe they had to go out of their
- 47:47Speaker 17: way to say that this is for ceremonial purposes?
- 47:49Speaker 1: Only?
- 47:50Speaker 17: Really they like, it's just bizarre. Did they really think
- 47:55Speaker 17: that we thought they were going to be going into
- 47:57Speaker 17: battle with clubs? We loved the way when they were
- 48:01Speaker 17: making these things in the ads, it shows them with
- 48:04Speaker 17: like a powersore making these indigenous ceremonial clubs. I mean,
- 48:09Speaker 17: what an absolute joke. I mean, this is just we
- 48:13Speaker 17: do not need people to be doing this at this
- 48:15Speaker 17: point in.
- 48:16Speaker 3: Time for People's Liberation Army, the People's Liberation Army in
- 48:20Speaker 3: China have decided that we've already surrendered. I reckon, I reckon,
- 48:24Speaker 3: we've given up now, Stephen. I've got to mention you're
- 48:27Speaker 3: doing the CEO sleepout for Vinnie's this week, a fantastic
- 48:31Speaker 3: charity in Saint Vincent de Paul.
- 48:33Speaker 2: Tell us about what you're doing.
- 48:34Speaker 3: You're not a CEO, but you're sleeping out in the
- 48:36Speaker 3: cold Canberra weather.
- 48:37Speaker 2: Anyway.
- 48:38Speaker 20: Well, they keep conning me in it by saying you
- 48:40Speaker 20: don't need to be a CEO, just a community leaders.
- 48:43Speaker 2: Enough. This is my third one.
- 48:44Speaker 20: Now we're at the Museum of Australian Democracy at Old
- 48:47Speaker 20: Parliament House again. Look, the midst of the cost of
- 48:50Speaker 20: living crisis. Fundraising is hard, but I think it proves
- 48:52Speaker 20: that there's people out there that are doing it tougher
- 48:54Speaker 20: than us. So if you go to CEO Sleepout dot
- 48:57Speaker 20: orgdu and just do a search for me.
- 48:59Speaker 2: You can still stuffilled the day.
- 49:02Speaker 20: It's only going to be seven degrees so it's not
- 49:04Speaker 20: going to be very cold by camera standards, which is great.
- 49:06Speaker 3: You've lost a lot of insulation over the years to Stevens,
- 49:09Speaker 3: so donate support. Vinny's thanks, Susie, Thanks Stephen. We're right
- 49:13Speaker 3: over time. Here's Peter Credlin.
