- 0:01Speaker 1: Why on Sky News Bits Sharry.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Good Evening, Welcome to the show.
- 0:09Speaker 3: Well, there are two things I want to talk about tonight,
- 0:12Speaker 3: the elimination of terror leader Hassan Nasrallah and the utterly
- 0:16Speaker 3: despicable reaction to it here in Australia. While most sensible
- 0:21Speaker 3: observers welcomed Nasrulla's death on our streets, thousands of morons
- 0:28Speaker 3: in Sydney and Melbourne mourned him tonight. The AFP and
- 0:32Speaker 3: New Southelles Police have launched investigations into breaches of counter
- 0:36Speaker 3: terror laws by those supporting Hesblah. But it's beyond comprehension
- 0:42Speaker 3: how thousands and thousands of people in Sydney and Melbourne
- 0:46Speaker 3: chanted allegiance to this bloodthirsty terror group. One Sydney speaker
- 0:52Speaker 3: described Nasrullah, the murderous leader, as the hero of heroes.
- 0:57Speaker 4: Have a look, will tell you.
- 1:00Speaker 5: In the name of the person that you have just
- 1:04Speaker 5: involved the hero of the hero that died yesterday.
- 1:25Speaker 3: Well, as you saw in that footage and you can
- 1:28Speaker 3: see again here and what I'm going to show you,
- 1:30Speaker 3: our fellow citizens are holding signs with Nozraela's face. They're
- 1:35Speaker 3: chanting in support of Hezwela. They're also saying all Zionists
- 1:40Speaker 3: are terrorists.
- 1:41Speaker 4: Have a look.
- 2:01Speaker 3: The editor of the Adelaide Advertiser, my friend Jemma Jones,
- 2:05Speaker 3: took that footage and she said Melbourne law enforcement was
- 2:08Speaker 3: stopping trams for these vile protesters. They had police lining
- 2:13Speaker 3: the route. Then here's footage with terror flags being waived
- 2:19Speaker 3: by masked men and Green Senator Marine Ferruki even spoke
- 2:35Speaker 3: at one rally that was packed with Heswela supporters.
- 2:40Speaker 6: We keep hearing this nonsense, We keep hearing this nonsense
- 2:44Speaker 6: about social.
- 2:45Speaker 1: Cohesion from the Labor government. Their meaning of social cohesion
- 2:52Speaker 1: is shoving up those raising their voice against genocide.
- 2:58Speaker 3: How does she have the high to speak about social cohesion.
- 3:02Speaker 2: At a rally like that.
- 3:04Speaker 3: This is a move that should see her kicked out
- 3:06Speaker 3: of Parliament and potentially be investigated under Australian laws.
- 3:12Speaker 2: Now Bejronette Yahoo.
- 3:13Speaker 3: The Israeli Prime Minister could have had Ferouki in mind
- 3:17Speaker 3: when he spoke of the hypocrisy of these moronic Western
- 3:21Speaker 3: protesters who march against Israel.
- 3:25Speaker 7: We see at another profound moral confusion when self described
- 3:30Speaker 7: progressives march against the democracy of Israel.
- 3:35Speaker 8: Don't they realize their.
- 3:36Speaker 7: Support the Iranian backed goons in Tehran and in Gaza,
- 3:42Speaker 7: the goons who got down protesters, murder women for not
- 3:45Speaker 7: covering their hair, and hang gays in public squares.
- 3:48Speaker 8: Some progressives.
- 3:51Speaker 3: I'm going to come back to his speech in a moment.
- 3:53Speaker 3: It was powerful, but even Prime Minister Anthony Alberzi condemned
- 3:57Speaker 3: the gross spectacle of the protest over the weekend.
- 4:02Speaker 9: We do not want people to bring radical ideologies and
- 4:05Speaker 9: conflict here. Our multiculturalism and social cohesion cannot be taken
- 4:11Speaker 9: for granted, and it's important that we continue to stress
- 4:17Speaker 9: that that is the case.
- 4:20Speaker 3: How can he say we don't want these conflicts here
- 4:23Speaker 3: while bringing in or granting almost three thousand visitor visas
- 4:28Speaker 3: to Gazans without proper or in some cases any security checks. Now,
- 4:33Speaker 3: the Prime Minister condemned those protests, yet has failed at
- 4:37Speaker 3: every point over the past year to encourage law enforcement
- 4:42Speaker 3: to arrest those who breach the peace, who support terrorism. Now,
- 4:48Speaker 3: let's be completely clear here, Albanizi has failed as Prime minister.
- 4:53Speaker 3: This is on his watch, it is his responsibility. It's
- 4:57Speaker 3: a disgrace and he should be held accountable. Now, Australians
- 5:02Speaker 3: of all faiths were so shocked by this display of
- 5:05Speaker 3: support for terrorism that Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke wanted
- 5:09Speaker 3: to sound tough and he said he'd consider counseling the
- 5:12Speaker 3: visas of anyone inciting discord in our country. Yet he
- 5:18Speaker 3: has never done this, and it sounds like he may
- 5:23Speaker 3: even support those who are upset by Israel's efforts to
- 5:27Speaker 3: defeat Hesblah in Lebanon, judging by what Sky News commentator
- 5:32Speaker 3: Joe Hildebrand said here last night.
- 5:35Speaker 10: I was talking to Tony Burke about this last week actually,
- 5:38Speaker 10: but just the difference between people for whom this is
- 5:42Speaker 10: a very very political issues, and especially for the obnoxious,
- 5:46Speaker 10: annoying upper middle class socialists, for whom you know, the
- 5:48Speaker 10: War on Gaza's their generation's Vietnam and they just love
- 5:51Speaker 10: giving them something else to protest about, and they'll protest
- 5:53Speaker 10: about something else the next time around. But for the
- 5:56Speaker 10: people who and it was the people in his elector
- 5:58Speaker 10: in particularly, which is very large and Muslim, A lot
- 6:00Speaker 10: of people from Lebannin know this is you know, these
- 6:04Speaker 10: are their family members, these are their community, and there's
- 6:07Speaker 10: just no point in saying but you know, yes, I
- 6:10Speaker 10: know your uncle was killed, but he was on the
- 6:13Speaker 10: wrong side of this political argument. That just does not.
- 6:15Speaker 2: Fly seriously well.
- 6:18Speaker 3: In the face of this nonsense, Peter Dutton is looking
- 6:22Speaker 3: more and more like a leader. He urged police to
- 6:26Speaker 3: arrest terror supporters, showing once again his moral superiority over
- 6:31Speaker 3: the Albaneze government. Dutton said Parliament should be recalled if
- 6:35Speaker 3: our current laws aren't strong enough.
- 6:38Speaker 11: The fact that we've got people out marching on the
- 6:40Speaker 11: street at the moment holding up photos of a terrorist leader,
- 6:43Speaker 11: I mean imagine the outrage if the photos being held
- 6:46Speaker 11: up of somebody like Issama bin Laden or Adolf Hitler.
- 6:50Speaker 11: These people are responsible for hundreds, if not thousands of
- 6:56Speaker 11: people being killed. Hezbollah is a list of terrorist organized
- 7:00Speaker 11: in our country. And if we've got people here who
- 7:03Speaker 11: think that that organization is okay and they're saddened by
- 7:08Speaker 11: the death of this terrorist, if they're on a visa,
- 7:11Speaker 11: they should be deported because if we knew about that
- 7:13Speaker 11: when they made their visa application, they wouldn't get it
- 7:16Speaker 11: to come here in the first place. I find it
- 7:18Speaker 11: completely unacceptable that the government wouldn't be arresting people already
- 7:23Speaker 11: or canceling visas of people who are glorifying Hezblah and
- 7:28Speaker 11: Hamas and others.
- 7:31Speaker 3: And here's one hundred percent right. Peter Dutton has shown
- 7:35Speaker 3: courage ever since October seventh, and thank god there's one
- 7:39Speaker 3: leader who has. The AFP initially today issued a statement
- 7:44Speaker 3: saying they don't believe believe that any laws have been broken.
- 7:48Speaker 3: Well they've now backtracked and tonight announced they are investigating
- 7:52Speaker 3: six just six reports of potentially breaching counter terror laws
- 7:57Speaker 3: and New South As Police is also investigatating instances of
- 8:01Speaker 3: a terror symbol being displayed. But for the past year, police,
- 8:06Speaker 3: both state and federal seem to have held the view
- 8:10Speaker 3: that Australian laws should be upheld when it comes to
- 8:13Speaker 3: all facet of life except for the support of a
- 8:17Speaker 3: bloodthirsty regime. Well this isn't good enough, as Shadow Home
- 8:22Speaker 3: Affairs Minister James Patterson said tonight on Chris Kenny's program, there.
- 8:27Speaker 12: Are extremists and they become emboldened when they think there
- 8:30Speaker 12: are no consequences for their behavior. So it's time for
- 8:33Speaker 12: the Prime Minister, the Home Affairs Minister, the Attorney General
- 8:37Speaker 12: to make very clear the community's expectations to the police,
- 8:40Speaker 12: but the law be enforced, that people be charged, that
- 8:43Speaker 12: there'll be consequences for this abhorrent behavior.
- 8:47Speaker 3: Here in Australia and in many parts of the world,
- 8:50Speaker 3: political leaders have shown an apathy for tackling terror supporters,
- 8:54Speaker 3: even though it's against the law. As Stephen Lowe said
- 8:58Speaker 3: in his address to the University of New South Wales
- 9:01Speaker 3: on Thursday, there's been a monumental failure of leadership which
- 9:05Speaker 3: has allowed this sort of antisemitism.
- 9:08Speaker 4: Rot to fester.
- 9:10Speaker 2: He said.
- 9:10Speaker 3: It is also a sad fact that there has generally
- 9:13Speaker 3: been leeke lukewarm denunciation of antisemitism at best by the
- 9:18Speaker 3: leadership of many of our institutions. Half hearted rejection of
- 9:22Speaker 3: antisemitism is never enough, as history has shown, or too
- 9:28Speaker 3: well now, there was one thing that Stephen Lowe said
- 9:32Speaker 3: in his speech that has really resonated with me. He
- 9:36Speaker 3: said that had he given his major speech a year ago,
- 9:40Speaker 3: it would have been inconceivable for him to even mention
- 9:43Speaker 3: antisemitism or the erosion of Australian values. He said, Yet
- 9:48Speaker 3: here we are in Australia in twenty twenty four, and
- 9:53Speaker 3: as we approach the anniversary of October seven, I too
- 9:57Speaker 3: have spent so much time, as you know on air
- 10:00Speaker 3: the past year, just despairing at the world we live
- 10:04Speaker 3: in now and how quite frankly it doesn't always feel
- 10:08Speaker 3: safe for my community.
- 10:11Speaker 2: And then to look at.
- 10:11Speaker 3: The thousands and thousands of people marching on Australian streets
- 10:16Speaker 3: in support of a terror regime that has brutally murdered
- 10:20Speaker 3: innocent people, including just recently twelve Israeli Drew's children. Well,
- 10:27Speaker 3: the site is just shocking, inexplicable and devastating.
- 10:33Speaker 2: What has happened to our country.
- 10:36Speaker 3: Only the strongest possible leadership and full enforcement of the
- 10:41Speaker 3: law could possibly hope to restore order to.
- 10:45Speaker 2: This wretched mess.
- 10:52Speaker 3: All right, Well, let's be utterly clear, the elimination of
- 10:56Speaker 3: Hesbalalida Hassan Nasralla is a major coup for is Israel.
- 11:00Speaker 3: It should be celebrated by all who opposed terrorism and
- 11:05Speaker 3: value freedom and democracy. This is one of the many
- 11:09Speaker 3: reasons Israel also deserves the support of all Australians at
- 11:13Speaker 3: its hour of need. Well, on Friday, yet again Israel
- 11:17Speaker 3: outwitted its enemies. That strategy behind the execution of Nazrella
- 11:23Speaker 3: showed sheer brilliance. Israeli Prime Minister Benjaminette and Yahoo signed
- 11:28Speaker 3: off on the hit from his hotel room, as you
- 11:32Speaker 3: can see in this picture. Moments later, he walked into
- 11:36Speaker 3: the hostile halls of the United Nations.
- 11:40Speaker 2: To deliver a speech for the Ages.
- 11:44Speaker 3: It was the most important oration that fraudulent body the
- 11:48Speaker 3: Yuen has heard since the war began. And as he
- 11:52Speaker 3: delivered the speech with his ominous warning for the Iranian
- 11:57Speaker 3: backed terror groups that Israel is winning, where Nasralla sat
- 12:02Speaker 3: in his basement in Beirut watching on, unbeknownst to the
- 12:06Speaker 3: terror leader, Miss Isles shrieked across the sky and blasted
- 12:11Speaker 3: the Hesbela Quartas where he was bunkered down, ending his
- 12:16Speaker 3: thirty two year reign of terror. Well, isn't it magnificent
- 12:33Speaker 3: that Nazraella's final moments on this earth were spent watching
- 12:37Speaker 3: net in Yahoo. The timing and execution of this precision
- 12:41Speaker 3: attack was masterful. It was an act of ultimate strength
- 12:46Speaker 3: in the face of terror. The moment the IDF confirmed
- 12:50Speaker 3: Israela's death on Saturday evening our time, it sparked celebrations
- 12:55Speaker 3: among Jewish communities globally. In Israel, there was music and dancing,
- 13:00Speaker 3: and one TV host did a La Kaiyam live on
- 13:03Speaker 3: air when the news broke, and this is a moment
- 13:07Speaker 3: for celebration on par with the murder of Osama bin Laden.
- 13:12Speaker 2: Only bin Laden has.
- 13:14Speaker 3: Killed more Americans and more French than Hesbelah. Yet The
- 13:19Speaker 3: New York Times reported today that American President Joe Biden.
- 13:23Speaker 2: Had called Netta Yahoo and warned him.
- 13:27Speaker 3: That killing Nazralla would set off a regional war. Biden
- 13:32Speaker 3: reportedly asked him to hold fire.
- 13:36Speaker 2: It's unbelievable.
- 13:38Speaker 3: America's weakness is on full display, and it stands in
- 13:41Speaker 3: contrast to what we're now witnessing on a daily basis.
- 13:46Speaker 3: Israel's determination to survive. Netanyahu has shown that he's a
- 13:53Speaker 3: leader for the times.
- 13:55Speaker 2: Like former US President Ronald Reagan.
- 13:58Speaker 3: The strategy guiding him is peace through strength, and we're
- 14:03Speaker 3: seeing that in spades. The weak international community capitulating to
- 14:08Speaker 3: terrorism demanded a ceasefire from Israel the moment it began
- 14:13Speaker 3: to respond to the eight thousand Hesbela rockets fired over
- 14:18Speaker 3: the past year, but there was no demand for a
- 14:21Speaker 3: ceasefire while Hesbelah was attacking Israel. Only when Israel dared
- 14:26Speaker 3: to respond, dared to defend its citizens. Unette Nyahu ignores
- 14:33Speaker 3: the feeble international community and its confusion, and instead he
- 14:38Speaker 3: took out all of Hesbela's senior leadership with a series
- 14:42Speaker 3: of attacks.
- 14:43Speaker 2: Each more genius than the last.
- 14:46Speaker 3: He aims to remove the terror threat not just for Israelis,
- 14:51Speaker 3: but for all of us in the West.
- 14:54Speaker 2: Peace through strength. There can be no other way.
- 14:58Speaker 3: In the wake of October seven and the subs sequent
- 15:00Speaker 3: Hezblah onslaught and in his powerful United Nations address, Netigna,
- 15:06Speaker 3: who spoke about how his objective is peace. It's a
- 15:10Speaker 3: path he was on the way to achieving through the
- 15:12Speaker 3: Saudi Arabian normalization deal before the Iranian back October seven
- 15:17Speaker 3: attacks changed everything. Natiya who outlined how Hamas was now.
- 15:23Speaker 2: A diminished organization.
- 15:25Speaker 3: He said twenty three of its twenty four battalions have
- 15:28Speaker 3: been destroyed and ninety percent of its rocket arsenal gone.
- 15:33Speaker 3: But he says the job isn't finished, and he vowed
- 15:36Speaker 3: that Hamas will not stay in power in Gaza.
- 15:40Speaker 7: And the reason is simple because if Ramas stays in power,
- 15:44Speaker 7: it will regroup, re armed, and attackers will again and
- 15:48Speaker 7: again and again as it is.
- 15:50Speaker 8: Vowed to do so. Haramas has got to go.
- 15:54Speaker 7: Just imagine for those who say, well Hamas has to stay,
- 15:58Speaker 7: it has to be part of a post war Gaza
- 16:01Speaker 7: imagined in a post war situation in World War Two.
- 16:06Speaker 8: Imagine allowing the.
- 16:08Speaker 7: Defeated Nazis in nineteen forty five to rebuild Germany. It's inconceivable,
- 16:13Speaker 7: it's ridiculous.
- 16:14Speaker 8: It didn't happen. Then it's not going to happen now.
- 16:18Speaker 3: Brilliant Natna who said Israel seeks it de radicalized and
- 16:23Speaker 3: de militarized Gaza, but not one way.
- 16:26Speaker 2: Israel is in control.
- 16:28Speaker 3: He said he's ready to work with partners to support
- 16:31Speaker 3: a local civilian administration in Gaza that's committed to a
- 16:35Speaker 3: peaceful coexistence. And as for calls for an immediate ceasefire
- 16:40Speaker 3: or Natna who said this, ladies.
- 16:44Speaker 8: And gentlemen, this war can come to an end. Now.
- 16:48Speaker 7: All that has to happen is for Hamasta surrender, lay
- 16:52Speaker 7: down its arms and release all the hostages. But if
- 16:57Speaker 7: they don't, but if they don't, we will fight until
- 17:01Speaker 7: we achieve victory. Total victory. There is no substitute for it.
- 17:09Speaker 3: And the Israeli Prime Minister imploed the world to stop
- 17:12Speaker 3: appeasing Iran and stop its nuclear program. Now, I keep
- 17:18Speaker 3: pointing out over and over again on this show how
- 17:21Speaker 3: the United Nations, set up in the wake of World
- 17:23Speaker 3: War II in the Holocaust, is now an enabler for terrorism.
- 17:28Speaker 3: It protects those who deserve no protection. Well, Nettna who
- 17:33Speaker 3: made a similar point very well.
- 17:37Speaker 7: In this battle between good and evil, there must be
- 17:41Speaker 7: no equivocation. When you stand with Israel, you stand for
- 17:45Speaker 7: your own values and your own interests. Yes, we're defending ourselves,
- 17:51Speaker 7: but we're also defending you against a common enemy that,
- 17:54Speaker 7: through violence and terror, seeks to destroy our way of life.
- 17:59Speaker 7: So there should be no confusion about this, But unfortunately
- 18:03Speaker 7: there is a lot of it in many countries, and
- 18:08Speaker 7: in this very hall, as I've just heard, good is
- 18:11Speaker 7: portrayed as evil and evil is portrayed as good. We
- 18:16Speaker 7: see this moral confusion when Israel is falsely accused of genocide,
- 18:20Speaker 7: when we defend ourselves against enemies who tried to commit
- 18:24Speaker 7: genocide against us.
- 18:27Speaker 3: And look at those empty seats, by the way, and
- 18:29Speaker 3: Penny Wang didn't bother to attend that address. I've got
- 18:33Speaker 3: those exclusive details. I'm going to talk about them later
- 18:35Speaker 3: in the show. I've got the response from the Foreign
- 18:38Speaker 3: Minister's office.
- 18:39Speaker 2: But what he says is right.
- 18:41Speaker 3: And moral confusion is now a hallmark of the disgraced
- 18:44Speaker 3: United Nations and Natiyao, who spoke about how they have
- 18:47Speaker 3: been at twice as many resolutions passed against Israel at
- 18:52Speaker 3: the UN General Assembly in the past decade, then the
- 18:56Speaker 3: entire world combined one hundred and seventy all condemnations of
- 19:01Speaker 3: Israel compared with seventy three against the rest of the world.
- 19:07Speaker 3: These remarks that he made here were utterly brilliant.
- 19:13Speaker 7: The singling out of the one and only Jewish State
- 19:16Speaker 7: continues to be a moral stain on the United Nations.
- 19:19Speaker 7: It has made this once respected institution contemptible in the
- 19:23Speaker 7: eyes of decent people everywhere. But for the Palestinians, this
- 19:29Speaker 7: UN house of darkness is home court. They know that
- 19:34Speaker 7: in this swamp of anti Semitic bile, there's an automatic
- 19:39Speaker 7: majority willing to demonize the Jewish State and anything in
- 19:44Speaker 7: this anti Israel flat earth society, Any false charge, any
- 19:49Speaker 7: outlandish allegation, can muster a majority.
- 19:53Speaker 3: Anti Israel flat earth society. He's exactly right, and it's
- 19:57Speaker 3: a point I keep discussing over and over again now Nathna,
- 20:02Speaker 3: who ended his speech with this inspirational message.
- 20:06Speaker 7: But I have a message for you. Israel will win
- 20:11Speaker 7: this battle. Will win this battle because we don't have
- 20:15Speaker 7: a choice. After generation, after generations in which our people
- 20:23Speaker 7: were slaughtered, remorselessly butchered, and no one raised a finger
- 20:28Speaker 7: in our defense, we now have a state. We now
- 20:32Speaker 7: have a brave army, an army of incomparable courage, and
- 20:36Speaker 7: we are defending ourselves. To borrow a great poet's phrase,
- 20:40Speaker 7: Israel will not go gently into that good night. We
- 20:45Speaker 7: will never we will never need to rage against the
- 20:50Speaker 7: dying of the lights, because the torture of Israel will
- 20:54Speaker 7: forever shine.
- 20:55Speaker 8: Right.
- 20:58Speaker 3: That is an important mesas that I urge the likes
- 21:01Speaker 3: of Marine Feruki and Penny Wog to listen closely to.
- 21:05Speaker 3: And it's also a message that should give all of
- 21:08Speaker 3: us courage as we face what often seems like an
- 21:11Speaker 3: overwhelming barrache of hatred for Israel and anti Semitism. And
- 21:17Speaker 3: it's worse than hatred for Israel. It's an obsession for
- 21:21Speaker 3: it not to exist. It's support for the terrorists who
- 21:25Speaker 3: seek to destroy it and destroy Jews everywhere.
- 21:29Speaker 2: But Israel will survive.
- 21:30Speaker 3: It will prosper in spite of the depravity of evil
- 21:34Speaker 3: terror regimes and in spite of the best efforts of
- 21:39Speaker 3: corrupt international bodies. All Right, we've still got a big
- 21:47Speaker 3: show tonight, will cross live to Israel to see what's
- 21:50Speaker 3: happening on the ground. My Political Inside Is panel, including
- 21:53Speaker 3: Cameron Milner, who's been making a lot of news today.
- 21:56Speaker 3: He's going to join me a bit later to break
- 21:58Speaker 3: down the bad polling for the High Minister. But first
- 22:01Speaker 3: let's bring in Sky News host Steve Price and senior
- 22:04Speaker 3: fellow at the Menzies Research Center Nick Cater to discuss
- 22:08Speaker 3: these despicable protests.
- 22:10Speaker 2: Steve Price, You're in Melbourne.
- 22:12Speaker 3: People were trying to enjoy the Grand Final and they
- 22:15Speaker 3: had to deal with this disgrace on the streets.
- 22:20Speaker 13: I barely recognized the Australia that I grew up in
- 22:23Speaker 13: over the last weekend. I mean, it was just unbelievable.
- 22:27Speaker 13: And we've got the AFP tonight releasing a statement saying
- 22:30Speaker 13: that they're waiting for some complaints from the Victoria Police
- 22:34Speaker 13: before they'll investigate. You've got to ask the question, what's
- 22:37Speaker 13: the point of having these federal hate laws which are
- 22:40Speaker 13: in the hands then of the AFP to implement if
- 22:44Speaker 13: they're not going to use them. I mean, this is
- 22:45Speaker 13: the state of Victoria and these protests were just as
- 22:49Speaker 13: bad in Sydney. This is the state of Victoria that
- 22:52Speaker 13: set the Victorian police on a group of people protesting
- 22:55Speaker 13: about being locked up for COVID and fired rubber bullets
- 22:59Speaker 13: at them and dragon people along the street, arrested them,
- 23:02Speaker 13: charged them, find them. But they can't make one arrest
- 23:06Speaker 13: after what happened at the weekend with people holding photographs
- 23:10Speaker 13: of Nazrula. I mean, seriously, what are the AFP doing?
- 23:14Speaker 13: I mean, and look, an excellent opening to your show tonight, Cherry,
- 23:18Speaker 13: and I could point out that while you were speaking
- 23:20Speaker 13: to the Daily Telegraph has reported that at the Kingsgrove
- 23:24Speaker 13: Mosque in Sydney, more than a thousand people have crowded
- 23:28Speaker 13: into the mosque. The streets out the front are overflowing
- 23:31Speaker 13: with people. For what purpose? They're at a memorial service
- 23:34Speaker 13: at one of three mosques in Sydney tonight for the
- 23:38Speaker 13: death of that dreadful terrorist who's murdered thousands of people.
- 23:43Speaker 13: How can that be?
- 23:45Speaker 2: Well said?
- 23:46Speaker 3: Now, Nick Kita, you know, we welcome the fact that
- 23:48Speaker 3: the AFP and the New South igs Police have tonight
- 23:51Speaker 3: said that they're going to investigate. But we saw an
- 23:53Speaker 3: investigation after the Upper House protest. We saw the police
- 23:57Speaker 3: stand up and gaslight Jewish community by claiming there was
- 24:02Speaker 3: nothing offensive. Actually said Nikita, do you have any faith
- 24:06Speaker 3: the authorities will actually do their jobs and charge anyone.
- 24:12Speaker 6: I've got no faith whatsoever. I'm afraid, and I'm really
- 24:15Speaker 6: sorry to have to say this, Shari, no faith at
- 24:18Speaker 6: all in the New South Wales police and their ability
- 24:21Speaker 6: to prosecute these people fairly. I think we saw on
- 24:25Speaker 6: those days after October seventh last year that they are.
- 24:28Speaker 6: There is a two tier policing system. You know, you're
- 24:31Speaker 6: allowed to throw flares at police if you're protesting in
- 24:35Speaker 6: favor of a terrorist state. But you know, I mean
- 24:38Speaker 6: if you want to get out there as we some
- 24:40Speaker 6: people did two years ago or three years ago against COVID,
- 24:43Speaker 6: you know, they'll send the police horses in against you.
- 24:46Speaker 6: The police force, I'm afraid, has been captured by this
- 24:50Speaker 6: woke ideology. They are too scared to take on certain
- 24:55Speaker 6: sections of the community because they're you know, they're Middle
- 24:59Speaker 6: Eastern or you know, the ethnic groups of some kind
- 25:03Speaker 6: or another, and they're not prepared to take them on.
- 25:06Speaker 6: They must the law must be enforced, and we must
- 25:09Speaker 6: really focus on ensuring that people who come to this
- 25:12Speaker 6: country from now on are going to absorb our values
- 25:16Speaker 6: and recognize our way of life and not be at
- 25:19Speaker 6: war with our way of life, which I'm afraid is
- 25:22Speaker 6: what we're seeing quite frighteningly on our streets right now.
- 25:25Speaker 3: Yeah, well that's not going to happen under the Albanzi
- 25:27Speaker 3: government under Tony Burke. And the point that both of
- 25:30Speaker 3: you make about how we have seen that police can
- 25:32Speaker 3: be tough, unnecessarily so during the COVID pandemic, but we've
- 25:36Speaker 3: seen what they can do, they haven't done it in
- 25:38Speaker 3: the past year. And I'm going to come back to
- 25:41Speaker 3: what's happening on the ground in Israel a bit later
- 25:43Speaker 3: in the show, but now let's turn to Australian Politics
- 25:46Speaker 3: News poll out today and it showed that voters in
- 25:49Speaker 3: New South Wales and Victoria are turning their backs on the.
- 25:52Speaker 2: Alben Ezi government.
- 25:53Speaker 3: The latest figures revealing that Labour's primary vote has fallen
- 25:57Speaker 3: to thirty percent and thirty one percent respect actively. Middle
- 26:01Speaker 3: aged and ethnic voters are said to be those leaving labor,
- 26:05Speaker 3: Steve Price, what are these figures tell you about and
- 26:09Speaker 3: maybe about you know how many seats it could cost
- 26:12Speaker 3: Labor in the next election.
- 26:15Speaker 8: Well, what it tells you.
- 26:16Speaker 13: Is the leadership of Anthony Albanezi is in enormous trouble.
- 26:20Speaker 8: I mean, he's not a leader.
- 26:21Speaker 13: And what you've just been talking about at the start
- 26:24Speaker 13: of this show just adds to the opinion of the
- 26:27Speaker 13: Australian people that have got a weak prime minister. So
- 26:31Speaker 13: what the poll is showing that is in particular in Queensland,
- 26:34Speaker 13: New South Wales and in Western Australia, less so in
- 26:37Speaker 13: the great socialist state of Victoria, but a little bit
- 26:41Speaker 13: that people aged between fifty and sixty four in particular
- 26:45Speaker 13: are turning against this government. I mean, Jim Chalmers can
- 26:47Speaker 13: stand up there every day of the week if he
- 26:49Speaker 13: wants and talks about how he's delivered two surpluses in
- 26:52Speaker 13: a row. People are hurting. Cost of living is still
- 26:55Speaker 13: the biggest issue and they see a government that is saying, oh,
- 26:59Speaker 13: we've pat ourselves on the back over a surplus, but
- 27:01Speaker 13: what they're not doing is helping people with cost of
- 27:04Speaker 13: living problems. And you know, if you go through the seats.
- 27:07Speaker 13: And I know we've done this on the program before.
- 27:09Speaker 13: It's not hard to find that this election could be
- 27:13Speaker 13: a very interesting result when you look at news Poland
- 27:17Speaker 13: News Pole is only going to get worse while Anthony
- 27:19Speaker 13: Albanese is in charge.
- 27:20Speaker 3: Yeah, look, there's potentially another six months or so, maybe
- 27:24Speaker 3: seven or eight months until the election, Nick Cata, do
- 27:28Speaker 3: you think at the moment it's looking like there could
- 27:30Speaker 3: be enough seats for Dartin to scrape through with a
- 27:33Speaker 3: minority government or do you think it's still looking like
- 27:36Speaker 3: it's an Albanisi's favorite at the moment, which is what
- 27:39Speaker 3: the Poles are pointing to.
- 27:42Speaker 6: Well, I think you've been talking about a minority labor
- 27:44Speaker 6: government on the present Poles. So I don't see the
- 27:48Speaker 6: coalition being able to win on those numbers, Shari. Although
- 27:51Speaker 6: they'll win a fair few seats couple in Western Australia,
- 27:54Speaker 6: probably a couple in New South Wales, will probably win
- 27:57Speaker 6: lions in Tasmania and so on, but there won't be
- 27:59Speaker 6: enough to get them over the line. But it is,
- 28:02Speaker 6: as you say, it's a snapshot and we have to ask, well,
- 28:06Speaker 6: what can Albanezy do to turn this around? By may
- 28:10Speaker 6: or whenever he's going to call the election. It's very
- 28:13Speaker 6: hard to see. The economy is not going his way.
- 28:15Speaker 6: He's not coming up with anything which is really inspiring
- 28:19Speaker 6: the Australian people and the real leader in this country
- 28:22Speaker 6: right at this moment, as it has been really since,
- 28:24Speaker 6: the voice is Peter Dutton. And the measure of that
- 28:27Speaker 6: is the extent to which whenever labor is out there,
- 28:31Speaker 6: it spends most of its time responding to Peter Dutton.
- 28:35Speaker 6: Arguing to think about Peter Dutton and the number one
- 28:38Speaker 6: rule of advertising. That's right, the number one rule of
- 28:42Speaker 6: advertising when you and I are working on the Sunday
- 28:45Speaker 6: Telegraph is you never mentioned your opposition. So you know
- 28:48Speaker 6: that they are clearly in trouble and they don't have
- 28:51Speaker 6: a response to Peter Dutton, and it's going to cause
- 28:54Speaker 6: some more sorts of grief.
- 28:55Speaker 3: Indeed, what's probably the only hope of winning is trying
- 28:57Speaker 3: to attack the man, and as they did with Scott Morrison.
- 29:01Speaker 3: Very quickly, before we go, Steve Price, I want to
- 29:04Speaker 3: get your view about these plans to honor Daniel Andrews
- 29:07Speaker 3: with a bronze statue in the CBD in Melbourne. Look,
- 29:10Speaker 3: this is given to edy premier who lasts three thousand
- 29:14Speaker 3: days in office, but it's expected to cost tax payers
- 29:17Speaker 3: more than one hundred thousand dollars. Do you think he
- 29:19Speaker 3: deserves it, Steve? And what's the reaction from people you've
- 29:23Speaker 3: spoken to?
- 29:26Speaker 13: It's a slap in the face to every Victorian. I
- 29:28Speaker 13: was overseas when this story broke and I just could
- 29:30Speaker 13: not believe it. I mean, I got angry enough when
- 29:33Speaker 13: Dan Andrews wanted to join my golf club and I
- 29:35Speaker 13: threatened to quit and he never got let in. I
- 29:37Speaker 13: think I'm going to have to threaten to leave Victoria
- 29:40Speaker 13: if they build this bronze statue. I mean I might
- 29:42Speaker 13: have to return to Adelaide or come and live in Sydney.
- 29:44Speaker 13: I don't know, but I mean the people of Victoria
- 29:47Speaker 13: have every right to be absolutely bloody angry if this
- 29:51Speaker 13: Jacinda Allen government spends one cent and palls one drop
- 29:55Speaker 13: of bronze to make a statue of the bloke that
- 29:57Speaker 13: locked the state up for the longest time of any
- 30:00Speaker 13: where in the world, it would be an absolute disgrace.
- 30:04Speaker 13: We laugh about it, but it's just appalling that that
- 30:07Speaker 13: bloke would be poured in bronze. Anywhere, And I'll tell
- 30:10Speaker 13: you what they're just asking him for, trouble book, because
- 30:12Speaker 13: if a statue of him was erected, aside from the pigeons,
- 30:16Speaker 13: there'll be plenty of other people throwing stuff at it.
- 30:18Speaker 3: Oh, good point, good point, all right, Nick Kata, Steve Price.
- 30:21Speaker 2: Great to see you both.
- 30:23Speaker 3: Now, the negative gearing debacle is testing the Prime Minister.
- 30:27Speaker 3: But is it giving Jim Chalmers a chance to show
- 30:30Speaker 3: off he's leadership credentials? Will Cameron Milner, who's been making
- 30:34Speaker 3: news with this leadership speculation, He's going to join me
- 30:36Speaker 3: on the show that's coming up after the break, and
- 30:39Speaker 3: I'm also going to cross live to Israel, where an
- 30:42Speaker 3: expert in Lebanese Israeli politics will join me live. We'll
- 30:45Speaker 3: look at how Israel is crippling Hesbala.
- 30:48Speaker 4: That's next.
- 30:56Speaker 3: All right, let's return to the Middle East, where the
- 30:59Speaker 3: situation has escalated further. Tonight, Hamas claimed that their leader
- 31:04Speaker 3: in Lebanon, for tasha If Abu Alamine, was killed in
- 31:08Speaker 3: an airstrike in his South Lebanon home. And this comes,
- 31:11Speaker 3: of course, after Israel took out Hassan Nasrala, as we've
- 31:14Speaker 3: been speaking about over the weekend, and Israel is reportedly
- 31:18Speaker 3: now preparing for a ground invasion in Lebanon. Well, for
- 31:22Speaker 3: more detail, I'm joined by Jonathan L. Kuri, an expert
- 31:25Speaker 3: on Lebanon and public Deploymacy. Jonathan, thank you for your time.
- 31:29Speaker 3: You're joining us from Tel Aviv. Look, let's start with
- 31:33Speaker 3: the big question now is Iran. Do you expect that
- 31:37Speaker 3: Iran will respond to Israel's execution of Nasrallah or do
- 31:43Speaker 3: you think it's not. You know that Hesbala was its
- 31:46Speaker 3: main fighting body and it's now to a certain extent,
- 31:51Speaker 3: been emasculated.
- 31:54Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, first of all, thank you for having me shry.
- 31:56Speaker 1: I have to start by seeing that as a Lebanese
- 31:58Speaker 1: and Adam Israeli, this is a huge churning point of
- 32:01Speaker 1: events of what we are seeing in the Middleast and
- 32:04Speaker 1: in the region. I do believe that the assasination of
- 32:07Speaker 1: Hassan Asala by Israel could be a huge churning point
- 32:12Speaker 1: for Lebanon itself in order to reclaim back Lebanon to
- 32:16Speaker 1: the Lebanese people. This is something that is super crucial
- 32:19Speaker 1: because up to now Lebanon has been held by the
- 32:23Speaker 1: Islamic Republic of Iran. Hassan Asalah and Chrismola are one
- 32:27Speaker 1: hundred percent a plan of the Islamic Republic of Iran
- 32:30Speaker 1: and they started as a bran of the Ayatola. So
- 32:33Speaker 1: this is something that we're expecting to see some sort
- 32:36Speaker 1: of a reaction from the Islamic Republic of Iran on that.
- 32:40Speaker 1: But I do believe that they will be really concerned
- 32:44Speaker 1: in actually responding themselves with missiles that we saw in
- 32:49Speaker 1: last April, because at the end of the day, they
- 32:51Speaker 1: know that Israel will not hesitate to respond back. And
- 32:54Speaker 1: we heard Benjamina Taniel, the Prime Minister of Israel, on
- 32:57Speaker 1: the UN stage, saying to this republic, if you're gonna
- 33:01Speaker 1: hit us, we're gonna hit you back. And this is
- 33:04Speaker 1: something that I believe they will take into really depth considerations.
- 33:08Speaker 1: But it's also important to understand that, in my opinion,
- 33:14Speaker 1: this something could lead. This assassination of Hassan Asalah could
- 33:18Speaker 1: lead for hopefully a better future for both Israel, Lebanon
- 33:22Speaker 1: and the whole region. Because we've seen enormous celebrations all
- 33:27Speaker 1: across the Syria, the Arab world, and also in Iran
- 33:31Speaker 1: itself of regular Iranians that said, why is our leaders
- 33:36Speaker 1: sending money to fund a terrorist organization across the world
- 33:40Speaker 1: and not taking care of our needs and desires. And
- 33:43Speaker 1: this is something that goes without further saying even and I.
- 33:47Speaker 3: Think that has been under reported in the Western media.
- 33:50Speaker 3: You know, the sense is that the Lebanese are very
- 33:52Speaker 3: upset by this, will not actually Lebanese Christians and other
- 33:57Speaker 3: Lebanese you know height has been and what they've done
- 34:01Speaker 3: to their beloved country. So I think that is an
- 34:03Speaker 3: important point that you make. What are we seeing tonight
- 34:06Speaker 3: with Israel? What do you expect with this potential ground invasion?
- 34:12Speaker 1: Christie, I don't think that the Western media or Western
- 34:14Speaker 1: people understand the role of Habela and Lebanon when they
- 34:17Speaker 1: started to operate since nineteen eighty two. Hesabel was responsible
- 34:21Speaker 1: for political assassinations in Lebanon that were responsible for assassinations
- 34:25Speaker 1: of regular men and women. They were responsible for butchering
- 34:29Speaker 1: thousands of people in Syria, of kids, women and children
- 34:34Speaker 1: that had nothing to do with the war, just because
- 34:36Speaker 1: they wanted to make sure that Asad would maintain his regime.
- 34:40Speaker 1: This is something that I don't believe a lot of
- 34:42Speaker 1: people in the West really understands of how horrible the
- 34:46Speaker 1: terms organization that is considered to be one of the
- 34:49Speaker 1: biggest ters organizations in the world. Today's Israel's action, I
- 34:53Speaker 1: believe should be towards making sure that Lebanon will take
- 34:58Speaker 1: the lead in order to Libanese military to take over
- 35:02Speaker 1: what's going on in south of Lebanon. But also it's
- 35:05Speaker 1: really important to understand that Hisbella currently has tens of
- 35:08Speaker 1: thousands of soldiers. They are really equipped soldiers that are
- 35:13Speaker 1: holding points in Lebanese territory, occupying Lebanese territory that doesn't
- 35:18Speaker 1: have any Lebanese sovereignty anymore. This is in south of Lebanon,
- 35:23Speaker 1: in east of Lebanon, of the Lebanese Valley, and also
- 35:26Speaker 1: in Beirut in the Dahya territory. A lot of people say,
- 35:29Speaker 1: when Israel is hitting Hezbela places, they are breaking Lebanese sovereignty. Well,
- 35:36Speaker 1: heal's the deal. There's no Lebanese sovereignty on Hebella occupied places.
- 35:42Speaker 1: This is something that really need to be understood by
- 35:45Speaker 1: a lot of people. I do believe what we just
- 35:47Speaker 1: heard an hour ago. Sorry, I just heard an hour
- 35:51Speaker 1: ago Lebanese Prime Minister in Najibnikati saying that after the war,
- 35:56Speaker 1: the Lebanese military will be deployed throughout the border and
- 36:00Speaker 1: will retain and try to retain back the control. I
- 36:04Speaker 1: do believe that this is something that the international community
- 36:07Speaker 1: should join Israel and Lebanon in order to make sure
- 36:11Speaker 1: that Lebanon claims back its autonomy, that Lebanon brings back
- 36:15Speaker 1: its sovereignty and bringing Lebanon back to the Lebanese. On
- 36:19Speaker 1: a personal note, I had to flee Lebanon because of Himla,
- 36:23Speaker 1: because of Hassan a Salalah, because they have turned national
- 36:27Speaker 1: Lebanese people who wanted Lebanon to be independent without any
- 36:31Speaker 1: control of the Islamic Republic of Iran. They turned them
- 36:35Speaker 1: into traitors and they persecuted them. That's why I had
- 36:39Speaker 1: to flee Lebanon in two thousand and one, just because
- 36:42Speaker 1: of that reason.
- 36:44Speaker 2: Well, Jonathan L.
- 36:44Speaker 3: Coori, thank you for your courage ever since then, for
- 36:47Speaker 3: your courage speaking out while you were still in Lebanon,
- 36:50Speaker 3: and we appreciate your time tonight. Now, is there a
- 36:55Speaker 3: split between the Treasurer and the Prime Minister? Well, Cameron
- 36:58Speaker 3: Milna thinks so, and he'll join me next. Plus, Donald
- 37:01Speaker 3: Trump resorts to personal attacks after Kamala Harris tries to
- 37:06Speaker 3: talk tough on the border. We're going to speak about
- 37:09Speaker 3: all of this on the show that's coming up.
- 37:15Speaker 2: Welcome back.
- 37:16Speaker 3: Let's bring in tonight's Political Insiders panel, joining me as
- 37:19Speaker 3: always the gf XO Strategies Director, former Chief of Staff
- 37:23Speaker 3: for Bill Shotton, Cameron Milner, and DPG Advisory Solutions from
- 37:27Speaker 3: advisor for John Howard, David Gazzard.
- 37:29Speaker 2: Welcome to you both.
- 37:31Speaker 3: Well, Cameron, you've made the news this week big time,
- 37:35Speaker 3: and I want to start with your piece in the
- 37:37Speaker 3: news papers today about the Prime Minister's inability to lead.
- 37:41Speaker 3: I mean you say under pressure, I'd say to lead
- 37:43Speaker 3: full stop. But you actually compare his frazzled response about
- 37:47Speaker 3: the negative gearing saga to how Jim Chalmers responded, and
- 37:52Speaker 3: you write that Albinizi is infamously never across the detail
- 37:56Speaker 3: while his treasurer is never caught out on the detail,
- 38:00Speaker 3: and you say the only time Charmers looks the least
- 38:03Speaker 3: bit ruffled is when he's having to take the hits
- 38:05Speaker 3: for his hapless leader. Cameron, can you explain your thesis
- 38:10Speaker 3: further to us tonight and whether you do think that
- 38:13Speaker 3: there's negative gearing? You know, debacle was a well timed
- 38:18Speaker 3: political hit.
- 38:21Speaker 14: Well, I think it was, and I wrote about in
- 38:23Speaker 14: today's paper, because the timing was perfect. His human shields
- 38:27Speaker 14: were overseas, being Richard Miles and Penny Wong and Albert
- 38:30Speaker 14: had to take all the questions and all the heat
- 38:32Speaker 14: for forty eight hours and it was terrible, Like he melted,
- 38:36Speaker 14: melted in front of our eyes. It was disaster on
- 38:38Speaker 14: Peter Stefanovic. The guy lied and slid and slided, and
- 38:42Speaker 14: then he had to go at the journalists for asking
- 38:44Speaker 14: hard questions. No, he was terrible last week, whereas, by contrast,
- 38:49Speaker 14: Jim Charmers was in China doing a deal to save
- 38:51Speaker 14: our economy. He was in China raising serious issues about
- 38:54Speaker 14: the Chinese military engaging with our raft jets, putting an
- 38:58Speaker 14: ICBM missile across the specific. He was doing what leaders do,
- 39:02Speaker 14: chari and showing up the Prime Minister. Absolute contrast, So
- 39:06Speaker 14: while Chalmers delivered Alberze, did it look if it was
- 39:12Speaker 14: a drop David Gazzard, look, it would seem pretty stupid
- 39:17Speaker 14: political strategy because it came out on the same day
- 39:19Speaker 14: that the Treasurer was proudly announcing that CPI that inflation
- 39:24Speaker 14: had fallen to two point seven percent.
- 39:26Speaker 2: It was a good news day, rare for this government.
- 39:30Speaker 15: Yeah, although I wouldn't see inflation as a particularly good
- 39:34Speaker 15: story for this government. The LBA has contradicted the government
- 39:38Speaker 15: on that and interest rates are staying high. If you
- 39:42Speaker 15: wanted to set off some hairs and fly some kites,
- 39:44Speaker 15: it was the perfect time to do it, as Cameron
- 39:47Speaker 15: had suggested. I think it does highlight the fact that,
- 39:51Speaker 15: you know, I think if you caught him over a beer,
- 39:54Speaker 15: Anthony Albanezi would be the first one to say that
- 39:57Speaker 15: economic policy really doesn't interest him.
- 39:59Speaker 8: It never has.
- 40:01Speaker 15: He doesn't take an active.
- 40:02Speaker 8: Role in erc.
- 40:04Speaker 15: I had the privilege and pleasure of working for both
- 40:06Speaker 15: Peter Costello and John Howard. They would never have been
- 40:10Speaker 15: caught out on an issue like that because they both
- 40:13Speaker 15: understood hasing policy. They both understood economic policy and could
- 40:18Speaker 15: have taken the questions. And I don't think either of
- 40:22Speaker 15: them would have been crazy enough to take on a
- 40:26Speaker 15: policy that affects thirty percent of all homeowners in the
- 40:29Speaker 15: first place. But Anthony Albanezi did look very uncomfortable dealing
- 40:32Speaker 15: with it. It's the end, coming to the end of the
- 40:36Speaker 15: first term and there's already outbreaks where there's a frustrated
- 40:39Speaker 15: a prime minister referring questions onto the Treasurer who's in
- 40:43Speaker 15: the air, so demanding that people ask Jim Chalmers that
- 40:46Speaker 15: the tough questions which he obviously struggled with.
- 40:53Speaker 2: Cameron.
- 40:54Speaker 3: You know you clearly, and you've spoken about it on
- 40:56Speaker 3: this show. You don't think the Prime minister's up to
- 40:59Speaker 3: the job own either, But do you think there is
- 41:02Speaker 3: a growing sense within Labor that perhaps someone else could
- 41:07Speaker 3: do a better job and that they might need to
- 41:09Speaker 3: consider someone else ahead of the next election.
- 41:14Speaker 14: Well, I think Albanize has given his very best. He's
- 41:16Speaker 14: just not good enough. That's all his very best. He's
- 41:19Speaker 14: actually not good enough for Labor Party or to leaders
- 41:21Speaker 14: to a majority.
- 41:22Speaker 8: Again.
- 41:23Speaker 14: This bloke is going to struggle to govern with the
- 41:25Speaker 14: Greens and the Teals. That's his plan to remain PM.
- 41:28Speaker 14: So Labour's got a desperate situation here. The best that
- 41:30Speaker 14: Alby can do is minority government and a disaster as well.
- 41:34Speaker 14: The best he can do is fumble his way through
- 41:36Speaker 14: lines and lie to voters in the middle of a
- 41:39Speaker 14: non campaign week, let alone what the campaign would be like.
- 41:42Speaker 14: So Labor is desperately frustrated and worried that this guy's
- 41:44Speaker 14: just not up to the job. And you've got people
- 41:47Speaker 14: like Jim Chalmers who are on the job all the time,
- 41:49Speaker 14: who are capable, and so it's not like Labor hasn't
- 41:51Speaker 14: got options and Charmers I think is the most obvious
- 41:55Speaker 14: choice for Labor, and Shari only requires caucus to vote
- 42:00Speaker 14: fifty plus one, set aside the red rules and vote
- 42:03Speaker 14: a new system into choosing the next Prime Minister Australia.
- 42:05Speaker 14: So it's a very simple thing for Labour Caucus to do.
- 42:08Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll keep reporting on this and following it. Now,
- 42:11Speaker 3: I want to go to an exclusive I've got tonight.
- 42:14Speaker 3: I play you parts of Benjamin nette Yaw who's powerful
- 42:17Speaker 3: speech of the United Nations earlier. Well, I can reveal
- 42:20Speaker 3: that Foreign Minister Pennywong didn't bother to sit in for
- 42:25Speaker 3: that address. Now her office tells me that instead she
- 42:30Speaker 3: was attending the Pacific Islands for a meeting with the
- 42:32Speaker 3: United Nations Secretary General. During Netanyahu's statement, they say that
- 42:37Speaker 3: Australia is a founding member of the Pacific Islands Forum,
- 42:40Speaker 3: and can you believe this? They say Australia was represented
- 42:43Speaker 3: in the General Assembly by Senator David Force It. Well,
- 42:48Speaker 3: what a surprise, not a labor figure, David Gazard, What
- 42:51Speaker 3: do you think of this snub by Penny Wong. She
- 42:54Speaker 3: met the Palestinian leadership while she was over there, that
- 42:57Speaker 3: Palestinian Prime minister. She posted about it on social media.
- 43:01Speaker 3: Can't even set to listen to what nad and Yahoo
- 43:04Speaker 3: had to say when she's constantly criticizing Israel.
- 43:08Speaker 15: Well, it's deeply concerning and it probably is just a
- 43:13Speaker 15: solid display of the moral leadership that we've had that
- 43:17Speaker 15: has led to protests over the weekend where people are
- 43:21Speaker 15: openly mourning a terrorist leader and sympathize a butcher of
- 43:26Speaker 15: of people across the Middle East. I mean, this is
- 43:28Speaker 15: a this is a terrible development for our country. I
- 43:32Speaker 15: would have thought that the conflagration, if you can call
- 43:35Speaker 15: it that in the Middle East, it's more serious than that,
- 43:39Speaker 15: would would so overwhelm anything that was happening in the
- 43:43Speaker 15: in the Pacific Islands, that that our Foreign minister would
- 43:46Speaker 15: would feel duty bound to be there. I mean, this
- 43:49Speaker 15: is this is this is a dispute that's occupying the Quad,
- 43:53Speaker 15: it's occupying the G seven. It's of serious import and
- 43:59Speaker 15: we we It's in stark contrast to Australia's position in
- 44:03Speaker 15: the past where the United States was attacked by terrorists
- 44:08Speaker 15: and we responded by going to war against Iraq. So
- 44:13Speaker 15: I just can't I can't believe the position we've got
- 44:16Speaker 15: ourselves in, and it's now openly displaying itself on the
- 44:21Speaker 15: streets of Sydney over the weekend with people mourning a
- 44:24Speaker 15: terrorist leader.
- 44:25Speaker 2: I mean, it's shocking, horrifying.
- 44:29Speaker 3: Very quickly, before you go, Cameron, what do you think
- 44:31Speaker 3: of Penniwong's snub?
- 44:35Speaker 14: Well, it was a snub, let's call it for that.
- 44:36Speaker 14: And she hasn't wanted to hear the truth ever since
- 44:39Speaker 14: October seven. She hasn't want to hear the truth. But
- 44:41Speaker 14: Pen's been to Israel and went and caught a Palestine
- 44:43Speaker 14: in France. She proselytized on Palestine two days before and
- 44:47Speaker 14: the U n So she should have stayed and listened.
- 44:50Speaker 14: She should have actually learned why Israel needs self defense,
- 44:53Speaker 14: why Israel is actually fighting terrorism, while back in Australia,
- 44:56Speaker 14: we're giving souccer souccer to terrorists in Australia with a
- 45:00Speaker 14: you quite rightly say, absolutely disgusting displays of support for
- 45:04Speaker 14: HESBLA and hamas previously in Australia. And that's happening on
- 45:07Speaker 14: Penny One's watch. So what an awful snub and what
- 45:10Speaker 14: a disgrace.
- 45:11Speaker 3: Yeah, indeed, and that the only member of the Australian
- 45:14Speaker 3: delegation according to her the statement from her office was
- 45:17Speaker 3: a liberal backbencher, a chuster appauling. All right, Cameron Milner,
- 45:22Speaker 3: David Gazard, love having you on the show. Thank you
- 45:24Speaker 3: very much. Now, after the break, it's the battle over
- 45:27Speaker 3: the border as Donald Trump and Kamala Harris both try
- 45:30Speaker 3: to prove they'd manage the crisis better. Koshagada will join
- 45:34Speaker 3: me next. Let's turn to news out of the United
- 45:41Speaker 3: States now, and let's bring in Sky News contributor Kosher Gada.
- 45:45Speaker 3: Kosher Kamala Harris visited the southern border for the first
- 45:48Speaker 3: time in three years. Look, this has been called a
- 45:52Speaker 3: photo up, and of course it is one because Kamala
- 45:55Speaker 3: is being accused of not caring about the border until
- 45:57Speaker 3: she actually needed to.
- 45:58Speaker 2: For her campaign. She tweeted that as president.
- 46:02Speaker 3: I will secure our border and will work to fix
- 46:05Speaker 3: our broken system of immigration. But Kosha data she's been
- 46:09Speaker 3: in office. This has been in her remit so surely
- 46:13Speaker 3: voters aren't buying this.
- 46:17Speaker 16: It wouldn't appear to when we look at the pools
- 46:20Speaker 16: and the movements and everything that's happening, and the tightening
- 46:23Speaker 16: that's happening there. You know, this is part of her strategy.
- 46:26Speaker 16: We've seen it where it's generally light on policy. There's
- 46:29Speaker 16: a couple of things that she points to, and on
- 46:31Speaker 16: the border, she points to this bill that was supposedly
- 46:34Speaker 16: somewhat bipartisan that was trying to be passed recently and
- 46:39Speaker 16: got scuttled, and she blames Trump for that. You know,
- 46:41Speaker 16: the Trump isn't anywhere in the government. So that's kind
- 46:43Speaker 16: of what she's trying to say, like, hey, we had
- 46:45Speaker 16: this great thing, it failed. When I come in, I'm
- 46:47Speaker 16: going to change it. But to your point, people aren't blind.
- 46:50Speaker 16: It's very well understood what the illegal immigration problem is
- 46:54Speaker 16: in the US right now. There was a damning report
- 46:56Speaker 16: that came out from Ice the other day of criminal criminal,
- 46:59Speaker 16: criminally charge and convicted people that have been let into
- 47:01Speaker 16: the country. There are anecdotal situations that we see in Springfield, Ohio,
- 47:05Speaker 16: and Nantuckett and elsewhere. So I don't quite think it's
- 47:08Speaker 16: going to work, but it sounds like that's the tune
- 47:10Speaker 16: and she's going to continue to sing in the thirty
- 47:11Speaker 16: two days we have left.
- 47:12Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 47:13Speaker 3: Well, those figures that you've mentioned, I mean, they're just extraordinary.
- 47:16Speaker 3: Thirteen thousand convicted murderers. In total, four hundred and twenty
- 47:20Speaker 3: five thousand convicted criminals have crossed the board. I mean,
- 47:25Speaker 3: thirteen thousand convicted murderers. It's kind of unthinkable. It's no
- 47:29Speaker 3: wonder that Donald Trump is trying to resenter his campaign
- 47:33Speaker 3: on immigration because he knows that's the one thing that'll
- 47:37Speaker 3: work for him.
- 47:40Speaker 16: Yes, you know, that is by and large an issue
- 47:42Speaker 16: that really catapulted him into office in twenty sixteen, and
- 47:45Speaker 16: people used to laugh at him and still laugh at
- 47:47Speaker 16: him when he says things like, you know, they're emptying
- 47:50Speaker 16: the mental asylums and the prisons from countries like Venezuela
- 47:53Speaker 16: and elsewhere into the US. He is prone to hyperbole,
- 47:56Speaker 16: but he's always right. There's always the crux of what
- 47:59Speaker 16: he says is directionally correct. And then these reports come
- 48:02Speaker 16: out and sort of validate that. Where in general there's
- 48:06Speaker 16: economic issues with the quantum of immigration, illegal and legal frankly,
- 48:09Speaker 16: that's coming in into many countries. It's the issue of
- 48:12Speaker 16: our time. And then when you layer onto that within
- 48:15Speaker 16: the illegals, people with criminal convictions, and then you see
- 48:18Speaker 16: anecdotes and some horrible assaults and murders and rapes that
- 48:21Speaker 16: are taking place committed by illegals, it really sends, I think,
- 48:25Speaker 16: a very scary picture to people. And just with thirty
- 48:28Speaker 16: two days left to go, these types of reports are
- 48:30Speaker 16: fresh in people's minds, and that's why Trump is indeed
- 48:34Speaker 16: refocusing the campaigns and.
- 48:36Speaker 3: Amazing, it's only thirty two days left to go, It's
- 48:38Speaker 3: going to be an exciting time. Now we're going to
- 48:41Speaker 3: see on Wednesday morning, our time, the vice presidential debate.
- 48:44Speaker 3: So Senator jd Vance up against Tim Walls, what do
- 48:49Speaker 3: you expect will be the main issues that will be
- 48:52Speaker 3: discussed here?
- 48:55Speaker 16: I think immigration, like we just discussed, is front and center,
- 49:00Speaker 16: and JD Vunce was a little bit in the firestorm
- 49:02Speaker 16: around that with the Haiti Haitian immigrants at Springfield, So
- 49:05Speaker 16: I think that will be something both candidates will try
- 49:07Speaker 16: to frame the other side on and j Devounce is
- 49:10Speaker 16: very strong on that. I think the other you know,
- 49:12Speaker 16: the childless cat lady thing that the media tried to
- 49:15Speaker 16: drum up and make into a bit of a story.
- 49:18Speaker 16: I'm sure Waltz is going to try and hit JD.
- 49:20Speaker 16: Vunce on that, and surely he'll have a defense for
- 49:23Speaker 16: you know, what he meant in the context of that.
- 49:25Speaker 16: And then I also think the stolen valor issue that
- 49:28Speaker 16: has died down recently, but it was a big story
- 49:30Speaker 16: when Waltz was appointed as the vice presidential candidate, where
- 49:34Speaker 16: he inflated his rank and his position and his experience
- 49:37Speaker 16: in the military. I'm sure Jadvance is going to try
- 49:39Speaker 16: and remind the voters of that one, especially since he
- 49:42Speaker 16: actually did serve in a combat zone. I would expect
- 49:45Speaker 16: to see that front center as well.
- 49:47Speaker 2: Yeah, look, it's.
- 49:47Speaker 3: Going to be interesting too much, not quite as exciting
- 49:49Speaker 3: as the main presidential debate, and at this point it
- 49:52Speaker 3: doesn't look like there will be another presidential debate, but
- 49:55Speaker 3: you never know. All Right, Koshagada, thank you very much
- 49:58Speaker 3: for your time tonight, and that's it for me. I'll
- 50:01Speaker 3: see you tomorrow at eight o'clock. We're going to have
- 50:03Speaker 3: another big show, so don't miss it. And right now,
- 50:06Speaker 3: poor Murray is back in town.
- 50:08Speaker 2: And here he is
