- 0:00Speaker 1: General, Welcome to the Late Debate. Clat Debate Team. Welcome
- 0:08Speaker 1: to the show. I'm Caleb Bond with Frey Leech and
- 0:11Speaker 1: Jamie Rodgers. Is what's coming up tonight? A bottle shop
- 0:14Speaker 1: has been knocked back in a popular Victorian town because,
- 0:17Speaker 1: wait for it, kids might see it on the way
- 0:20Speaker 1: to school.
- 0:21Speaker 2: What's next?
- 0:21Speaker 1: You might see Paul Murray smoking a cigar on the
- 0:23Speaker 1: way to school. What are they going to do about that?
- 0:26Speaker 3: Now?
- 0:27Speaker 1: These in the papers in Australian university where the majority
- 0:30Speaker 1: of students are foreign. We'll tell you where and how
- 0:33Speaker 1: many are hot on the heels. Exclusive details in tomorrow's
- 0:37Speaker 1: OZ and later. A man who says he's the love
- 0:40Speaker 1: child of King Charles and Queen Camilla has had his
- 0:44Speaker 1: court case against the State of Queensland for denying his
- 0:47Speaker 1: human rights when the police refuse to investigate Facebook posts
- 0:50Speaker 1: about his family history dismissed. And yes, I promise you
- 0:54Speaker 1: this is a real case and we'll tell you more
- 0:57Speaker 1: about it later. First, though, tonight, you may have seen
- 1:00Speaker 1: news that we broke earlier this evening in Shari, which
- 1:03Speaker 1: of course this week is being hosted by Dnika de
- 1:06Speaker 1: Georgio that on October twelfth, which will be just after
- 1:10Speaker 1: a few days after the second anniversary of October the seventh,
- 1:15Speaker 1: we will have protesters, pro Palatinian protesters descending on the
- 1:19Speaker 1: steps of the Sydney Opera House to once again demonstrate. Now,
- 1:24Speaker 1: of course, we remember the ugly scenes in the days
- 1:26Speaker 1: after the aftermath of October seven, nearly two years ago,
- 1:30Speaker 1: where we had people protesting at the Opera House, and
- 1:34Speaker 1: we remember the chants from there that originally were you know,
- 1:38Speaker 1: if the Jews, etc. That was later decided it was
- 1:42Speaker 1: something else anyway, and they're going to come back and
- 1:45Speaker 1: try it on again on October the twelfth. They've put
- 1:48Speaker 1: out a statement. This evening, by the way, today is
- 1:51Speaker 1: Yon Kapur, which is the holiest day on the Jewish calendar,
- 1:56Speaker 1: So read into that what you will, whether or not
- 1:58Speaker 1: this is a coincidence or not. But they said they're
- 2:00Speaker 1: going to rock up on October the twelfth, and in
- 2:04Speaker 1: their statement they say that the seventh of October twenty
- 2:07Speaker 1: twenty five will mark two years since Israel launched its
- 2:11Speaker 1: genocidal campaign against.
- 2:13Speaker 2: The Palestinian people.
- 2:14Speaker 1: There is no mention, by the way, in this statement
- 2:16Speaker 1: at all about Hamas in any way shape or form,
- 2:20Speaker 1: and that October seven was when Hamas went in and
- 2:24Speaker 1: slaughtered the most Jews who'd ever been killed in a
- 2:26Speaker 1: single day since the Holocaust. It also goes on to
- 2:29Speaker 1: on more than one occasion. And I thought it must
- 2:32Speaker 1: have been a mistake at first, because the second paragraph
- 2:35Speaker 1: refers to six hundred and eighty thousand Palestinians have been
- 2:40Speaker 1: killed in the war, and I thought that they've added
- 2:43Speaker 1: an extra zero onto that rather surely this is wrong.
- 2:46Speaker 1: But then later in the peace the bloke who sent
- 2:48Speaker 1: out this statement, Amaal Nassa, who's from the Palestine Action Group,
- 2:52Speaker 1: again uses that number in quotes that are directly attributable
- 2:58Speaker 1: to him, and he says, over sixty eight thousand Palestinians
- 3:01Speaker 1: have been killed in two years sixty eight. I've not
- 3:05Speaker 1: seen six hundred and eighty thousand, I should say, not six.
- 3:08Speaker 1: I've not seen that number anywhere. So they're fabricating numbers.
- 3:13Speaker 1: They refuse to say anything about a mass having anything
- 3:16Speaker 1: to do with as October seven, where a genocide against
- 3:19Speaker 1: Palestinians started. And also I want to know why are
- 3:23Speaker 1: they doing it on October the twelfth? It's and I
- 3:27Speaker 1: get that they normally demonstrate on a Sunday as they
- 3:31Speaker 1: have over the last two years, right and October the
- 3:33Speaker 1: twelfth is the Sunday. But you'd think if you were
- 3:36Speaker 1: that dedicated to the cause that you could get a
- 3:39Speaker 1: bunch of people to come out and gather on a
- 3:41Speaker 1: Tuesday or a Wednesday night on the seventh or the
- 3:44Speaker 1: eighth of October, couldn't you. No, No, we must wait
- 3:46Speaker 1: until Sunday because that's what our people are used to.
- 3:49Speaker 2: And the whole thing's just.
- 3:51Speaker 4: It's absolutely disgusting and I think Australians are sick and
- 3:56Speaker 4: tired of seeing a national icons be hijacked by foreign wars.
- 4:01Speaker 4: The Harbor Bridge, the Opera House, the Opera House again.
- 4:06Speaker 4: Now under new South Wales law, apparently it's illegal to
- 4:10Speaker 4: actually protest on the Opera House. So if Chris Means
- 4:14Speaker 4: and the police actually going to stand by the laws
- 4:18Speaker 4: that they've applied to Jewish groups by the way, when
- 4:20Speaker 4: they've tried to protest or hold events of the Opera House,
- 4:23Speaker 4: well then they need to stop this. But this is
- 4:27Speaker 4: the mob mentality that's going to take over. They want
- 4:29Speaker 4: to get thousands and thousands of people down there to
- 4:32Speaker 4: try and overwhelm police. And ram their way onto the
- 4:35Speaker 4: Opera House. This is un Australian. It's disgusting. And the
- 4:40Speaker 4: figures they're pulling out of their butt six hundred and
- 4:43Speaker 4: eighty thousand, where.
- 4:44Speaker 3: Is that from? Provide a source provide even her.
- 4:47Speaker 4: Mask sources aren't saying that this is ridiculous and embarrassing.
- 4:53Speaker 5: Yeah, it's really disappointing and I think this is just
- 4:56Speaker 5: an absolute disgrace that they have put this out. You
- 5:00Speaker 5: just read the Caleb the first paragraph here, and it
- 5:04Speaker 5: almost makes it sound as if Israel just for no reason,
- 5:08Speaker 5: just decided to go into Gaza.
- 5:10Speaker 3: It's nothing to do.
- 5:11Speaker 5: About seeking justice for those that were thoughted, and where
- 5:15Speaker 5: are any mention about the hostages that are still being
- 5:19Speaker 5: held in Gaza. It is just the most disgraceful. This
- 5:24Speaker 5: is what we're used to now though. This is the
- 5:26Speaker 5: real sad reality of this group, that they are out
- 5:28Speaker 5: there most weekends protesting. They have taken up our streets.
- 5:32Speaker 5: They know this is now the third time that they're
- 5:34Speaker 5: going to be using one of our iconic landmarks, the
- 5:37Speaker 5: second time with the Opera House, and I just think
- 5:40Speaker 5: this is now enough. We're in the process of organizing
- 5:44Speaker 5: a ceasefire. They're now saying they're calling for immediate sanctions
- 5:48Speaker 5: on Israel. They want to have an end to the
- 5:50Speaker 5: arms trade. Before it was all about calling for peace
- 5:53Speaker 5: in Gaza, and then now that there is talks of
- 5:56Speaker 5: a peace negotiation, all, no, we're not going to talk
- 5:58Speaker 5: about that. Now it's about sanctioning Israel and removing the arms.
- 6:01Speaker 5: It's like, what do you guys want? This is very clearly,
- 6:04Speaker 5: in my opinion, very anti Israel.
- 6:06Speaker 1: Well, you know, they've achieved a great deal in all
- 6:09Speaker 1: the protests they've had every Sunday since oct Over seven,
- 6:12Speaker 1: haven't they?
- 6:12Speaker 2: So why would this be any different? Honestly? Can we
- 6:15Speaker 2: just get the water cannons out?
- 6:17Speaker 1: Like I'm just sick of it at this point, Just
- 6:20Speaker 1: bagger off. If the biggest thing you've got to worry
- 6:24Speaker 1: about is a war on the other side of the
- 6:25Speaker 1: world that most likely you have no connection to whatsoever,
- 6:29Speaker 1: then don't get a job. Quite frankly, let's move on
- 6:32Speaker 1: to Victoria now, where well.
- 6:37Speaker 3: Want somebody please think of the children.
- 6:41Speaker 1: Well, somebody is apparently thinking of the children down in Victoria,
- 6:44Speaker 1: because God forbid, they might have to look at a
- 6:46Speaker 1: bottle shop. Yes, Dan Murphy's. You might We talked about
- 6:50Speaker 1: this story last year. I think it was Dan Murphy's
- 6:53Speaker 1: was trying to set up a store in Dalesford and
- 6:57Speaker 1: Dalsford you might, well, those are very popular part of Victoria.
- 7:01Speaker 2: It's a big tourist town. It's a big retirement town.
- 7:03Speaker 1: A lot of people have moved out there because it's
- 7:05Speaker 1: not that far from Melbourne and it's lovely. It's near
- 7:08Speaker 1: Hipburn Springs. Really is a great place if you've ever
- 7:10Speaker 1: been there. So Dan Murphy thought, right, this town's expanding,
- 7:13Speaker 1: lots of people moving in, good client tell so it
- 7:16Speaker 1: makes sense for it to be a place to set
- 7:18Speaker 1: up at Dan Murphy's store. And the local council and
- 7:20Speaker 1: the local residents all said, no way, we don't want
- 7:22Speaker 1: Dan Murphy's here. That big ugly face in his green
- 7:25Speaker 1: shop can not be at our town, thank you very much,
- 7:28Speaker 1: and they were successful. So Dan Murphy's appealed it to VCAT,
- 7:33Speaker 1: which is the Civil and Administrative Tribunal in Victoria, and
- 7:36Speaker 1: VECATS come back and said no, Actually the council made
- 7:39Speaker 1: the right decision because kids might see it on the
- 7:43Speaker 1: way to school. It is just an extraordinary thing, they say,
- 7:47Speaker 1: it is a risk of harm to minors.
- 7:50Speaker 2: This is to quote Vcat.
- 7:51Speaker 1: The premises is located in an educational and family friendly
- 7:55Speaker 1: area with children of all ages present throughout the year.
- 7:59Speaker 1: The location of the premises means that children going to
- 8:02Speaker 1: and from school, in care, at school, or at leisure
- 8:05Speaker 1: will be exposed to this packaged liquor premises.
- 8:11Speaker 2: I can't believe it. The poor kids, I mean, what
- 8:14Speaker 2: are they going to do?
- 8:16Speaker 1: Like every road that has a school on it now.
- 8:18Speaker 2: No liquor shop at all.
- 8:20Speaker 1: We've got to rip out all the Dan Murphy's and
- 8:22Speaker 1: all the other bottle shops and whatever, less the poor kids.
- 8:25Speaker 2: So you sign out the front of a shop.
- 8:27Speaker 5: Well, you're right, Where does this now end? And Victoria
- 8:29Speaker 5: is not the only state that's got this sort of
- 8:32Speaker 5: thing happening. We had a similar story that we spoke
- 8:34Speaker 5: about on the Sunday showdown at Avalon where the locals
- 8:37Speaker 5: were petitioning to not have a childcare center built on
- 8:39Speaker 5: top of a Dan Murphy's because.
- 8:40Speaker 3: Of that exact reason.
- 8:42Speaker 5: You don't want to have children that are walking past
- 8:44Speaker 5: an alcohol shop to go up to their childcare center,
- 8:46Speaker 5: even though there was a lift that would go directly
- 8:48Speaker 5: to a car park and it could avoid it. I
- 8:50Speaker 5: think it is absolutely ridiculous. As a mum, I've got
- 8:53Speaker 5: two kids who also our childcare center was literally you
- 8:57Speaker 5: had to walk past a bottle shop to get inside,
- 9:00Speaker 5: and the kids have absolutely no idea unless you make
- 9:04Speaker 5: a big deal about it.
- 9:05Speaker 3: They've got no idea you need to check out of
- 9:08Speaker 3: their beds.
- 9:09Speaker 2: They're probably hiding the.
- 9:10Speaker 5: Bottle past and they're happily on their day. They are
- 9:14Speaker 5: not aware unless you, as a parent, are specifically stating
- 9:17Speaker 5: there saying, ook, that's a bottle shop, you better not
- 9:19Speaker 5: look inside, and then of course that's going to make
- 9:21Speaker 5: them want to look inside.
- 9:23Speaker 3: Yeah, ridiculous. I sort of think, look if they're a Nimby's.
- 9:26Speaker 4: Now, this was all launched by an ex local government counselor,
- 9:30Speaker 4: so it kind of tells you everything you need to
- 9:31Speaker 4: know about the profile. A person who's particularly concerned about this,
- 9:35Speaker 4: Dan Murphy is if they are so passionate about stopping this,
- 9:39Speaker 4: they underwent a three year legal battle to halt this process.
- 9:43Speaker 4: It's the first time in ten years that they've actually
- 9:46Speaker 4: reviewed a decision to not grant to lick a license,
- 9:49Speaker 4: So this is pretty unprecedented stuff. If they really hate
- 9:52Speaker 4: the Dan Murphys that much, Well, let them have more
- 9:56Speaker 4: expensive alcohol and a boring spa town. I mean, that's
- 10:00Speaker 4: their fault. If they want to have no fun in
- 10:03Speaker 4: their town, then good luck to them. I mean, I
- 10:06Speaker 4: just that's their right.
- 10:07Speaker 1: Really yeah, but that's the you know, a couple of
- 10:09Speaker 1: hundred odd people who come out and say they don't
- 10:11Speaker 1: want it. What about all the other people of Well
- 10:13Speaker 1: then they need to speak hard. Who want to want
- 10:15Speaker 1: to have you know, grow at a decent price, and.
- 10:18Speaker 5: To say what the block's supposed to be filmed there?
- 10:20Speaker 2: Well it is.
- 10:20Speaker 1: It's going on at the moment. So how It's just
- 10:27Speaker 1: what do they think that if a kid sees a
- 10:29Speaker 1: bottle shop, the kid's going to turn into an alcoholic?
- 10:32Speaker 1: Like okay, I guess now we must ban anyone from
- 10:35Speaker 1: having a drink on television. It's a bit like you
- 10:38Speaker 1: know in films. Now you can't smoke anymore. We've just
- 10:41Speaker 1: sanitized life beyond all belief. I'm sorry, it's not going
- 10:46Speaker 1: to be the thing if you're worried about with your
- 10:48Speaker 1: kid is going to drink too much when they're a teenager.
- 10:51Speaker 1: There are a hundred other things that will contribute to
- 10:53Speaker 1: that before whether they saw a bottle shop on the
- 10:57Speaker 1: way to school.
- 10:57Speaker 4: Well, one of the things that you should be worried
- 11:00Speaker 4: about your teenager doing. If it's not drinking as well,
- 11:04Speaker 4: it's cannabis. New research by Australians health regulators estimate there
- 11:10Speaker 4: are around one million Australians using medicinal cannabis. This is
- 11:16Speaker 4: a fifty times increase. It was eighteen thousand people using
- 11:21Speaker 4: it back in twenty nineteen and that has jumped to
- 11:23Speaker 4: one million in twenty twenty five now, it says a
- 11:28Speaker 4: study conducted by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency found
- 11:33Speaker 4: that eight medical practitioners issued more than ten thousand scripts
- 11:37Speaker 4: each for the highest strength THHC products over just a
- 11:41Speaker 4: six month period. One doctor issued more than seventeen thousand
- 11:47Speaker 4: scripts in that same timeframe, equating.
- 11:50Speaker 3: To a script every four minutes.
- 11:54Speaker 4: Every four minutes a doctor is issuing high strength cannabis scripts.
- 11:59Speaker 4: I mean this is of epidemic proportions. Now everyone thinks
- 12:04Speaker 4: a lot of people think, oh, cannabis, it doesn't do
- 12:06Speaker 4: much harm.
- 12:06Speaker 3: There are risks.
- 12:07Speaker 4: Associated with it when you have a million Australians on
- 12:10Speaker 4: it without many guard rails in place. It's deeply concerning
- 12:14Speaker 4: and part of this has been driven by the rise
- 12:16Speaker 4: in online prescriptions. So people have worked out if you
- 12:20Speaker 4: just go online, say the right things to a digital
- 12:24Speaker 4: health appointment, you can get highest strength marijuana much better
- 12:28Speaker 4: than buying it off the black market. But pretty disturbing
- 12:32Speaker 4: for our country.
- 12:34Speaker 5: It's disturbing how many are being the prescriptions. There's eight
- 12:38Speaker 5: medical practitioners that issued themselves ten thousand scripts within six months.
- 12:43Speaker 5: That needs to be investigated and says yeah, the Australian
- 12:45Speaker 5: Health Practitioner Regulation Agency had did put in guidelines earlier
- 12:49Speaker 5: this year to try and crack down on this. Clearly
- 12:51Speaker 5: it's not working, but things like Teleyhealth is certainly making
- 12:55Speaker 5: it easier to be able to access this medicinal cannabis.
- 12:58Speaker 5: But my question is is why this sudden rise. You know,
- 13:01Speaker 5: from twenty nineteen to now you go from eighteen thousand
- 13:05Speaker 5: to a million. That seems so excessive in such a
- 13:07Speaker 5: short period of time.
- 13:08Speaker 1: Because that was sort of when it first came into being.
- 13:11Speaker 1: I think it's the early stages of being able to
- 13:13Speaker 1: legally get your hands on the gear, right, So, I
- 13:16Speaker 1: mean my theory is that it's just people who were
- 13:19Speaker 1: dope smokers who have now gone well, I can get
- 13:21Speaker 1: the dope without the risk of the coppers arresting me
- 13:24Speaker 1: because I've got the script and the doctor sees that
- 13:27Speaker 1: I can have it. So it's all hunky dory now.
- 13:29Speaker 1: And I was fully on board when the discussion started
- 13:33Speaker 1: and the idea was that we should legalize medicinal cannabis.
- 13:37Speaker 2: So yeah, go for it.
- 13:38Speaker 1: I mean, there are very clear benefits to a lot
- 13:41Speaker 1: of people who use medicinal cannabis, so I have no
- 13:44Speaker 1: issue with that. But the problem to me seems to
- 13:47Speaker 1: be that here we have a system that was set
- 13:50Speaker 1: up to do good is now being thoroughly abused, and
- 13:53Speaker 1: it's being used by people who just want to get
- 13:56Speaker 1: their hands on dope for recreational purposes. And you've got
- 14:00Speaker 1: doctors who are just willing to take the money to
- 14:02Speaker 1: hand out the script. So you tune through them, you know,
- 14:05Speaker 1: one every of all minutes or whatever you want it
- 14:07Speaker 1: to be, and just go, you get one.
- 14:09Speaker 2: You get one.
- 14:09Speaker 1: It's like an Oprah episode and they go down to
- 14:12Speaker 1: the doctor, to the pharmacy, sorry, get there dope and
- 14:15Speaker 1: go on their merry way. That's not what the system
- 14:18Speaker 1: was meant to be, so you can have all these
- 14:19Speaker 1: guardrails you like, it should be that you have to
- 14:22Speaker 1: have three appointments in person with a doctor or something
- 14:25Speaker 1: like that before you can get your hands on this stuff.
- 14:28Speaker 1: Otherwise you're basically just making a legal form of drug dispensing.
- 14:34Speaker 1: I mean, why not do it for cocaine next?
- 14:36Speaker 3: Correct?
- 14:36Speaker 4: And apparently there are some medical practices that send you
- 14:41Speaker 4: an automated SMS going, hey, it's like to get another
- 14:45Speaker 4: cannabis prescription. So they are prompting the user to get
- 14:50Speaker 4: more and more of this stuff because of course it's
- 14:52Speaker 4: also in their financial interest to keep handing out these prescriptions.
- 14:55Speaker 3: So the whole system is screwed.
- 14:58Speaker 6: You know.
- 14:58Speaker 1: Snoop Dogg was here doing the the IFL Grand Final
- 15:01Speaker 1: the other day. I wonder whether he got a prescription
- 15:04Speaker 1: while he was he because he's well known for his
- 15:06Speaker 1: dope smoking, so I wonder whether he got a prescription
- 15:09Speaker 1: while he was Erior got his ends on the allegle stuff.
- 15:12Speaker 5: Now here's an interesting story. Scientists have discovered a way
- 15:16Speaker 5: to have a baby without a biological mother. Yes, that
- 15:21Speaker 5: is correct. So using human skin cells are then injected
- 15:28Speaker 5: into a donor egg before it is then fertilized by
- 15:32Speaker 5: another man. So this theory then allows two men to
- 15:35Speaker 5: have a baby without any DNA from a woman. Now,
- 15:39Speaker 5: the research does say that it needs to have investigated
- 15:43Speaker 5: a little bit more before they go and do clinical trials.
- 15:48Speaker 5: But I just wonder, guys, first of all, why are
- 15:50Speaker 5: scientists even looking into this as an option? But it
- 15:54Speaker 5: just feels a little bit strange. I don't know how
- 15:57Speaker 5: ethical something like this is, but it just feels a
- 16:00Speaker 5: little bit strange that it's the DNA of two men
- 16:03Speaker 5: to have a baby without a female.
- 16:06Speaker 1: Look, it could be because I suppose the legitimate medical
- 16:09Speaker 1: argument for it is that if you have a woman
- 16:11Speaker 1: who is infertile, you could take her egg and then
- 16:14Speaker 1: take a bit of her skin and modify the egg
- 16:17Speaker 1: with the DNA to potentially make it a viable eggs
- 16:20Speaker 1: that she could carry. Right, So you start out with that,
- 16:24Speaker 1: and mean you potentially look at the idea of well
- 16:27Speaker 1: do we then say that if someone wants to donate
- 16:31Speaker 1: an egg, and then you can implant a bloke stein
- 16:35Speaker 1: a replace the DNA in that egg with a blokes
- 16:37Speaker 1: DNA from his skin, and then take another bloke sperm
- 16:40Speaker 1: and fertilize it.
- 16:42Speaker 2: Well, all of a.
- 16:42Speaker 1: Sudden, you've got gay couples having kids, and you know,
- 16:46Speaker 1: all sorts of strange stuff. I get why they're doing it,
- 16:49Speaker 1: a bit like I get why they do brain chips,
- 16:51Speaker 1: But if you follow it to its conclusion, you end
- 16:54Speaker 1: up in a dark place.
- 16:55Speaker 3: A very very dark place.
- 16:58Speaker 4: And the reality is, even if you can have an
- 17:01Speaker 4: embryo that is the DNA of two men, you still
- 17:06Speaker 4: need a woman to carry that baby. So you still
- 17:10Speaker 4: even need a commercial sarrogate, which opens you up to
- 17:13Speaker 4: a lot of human trafficking concerns and ethical issues, or
- 17:17Speaker 4: you need a female who is willing to do it
- 17:20Speaker 4: for you, benevolently or voluntarily without payment.
- 17:24Speaker 3: In any case, you need a woman.
- 17:26Speaker 4: You can't erase women from child bearing.
- 17:30Speaker 3: And it's just I mean, this is.
- 17:31Speaker 4: The progressive side of politics, continually erasing and undermining women,
- 17:38Speaker 4: whether it's women's spaces, women's rights, now women's role in
- 17:43Speaker 4: child bearing. It's disgusting, it's horrible, it's playing god and
- 17:49Speaker 4: it's not going to end well. And think about those
- 17:51Speaker 4: children that could potentially be born as a result of this.
- 17:55Speaker 3: How do you explain that to them?
- 17:57Speaker 2: Oh?
- 17:57Speaker 4: Yeah, you're actually biologically to men, but a woman then
- 18:01Speaker 4: had to carry you because we implanted the embryo, so
- 18:04Speaker 4: technically she is sort of your mother, but not really.
- 18:07Speaker 4: Like this is not natural. This is not normal, and
- 18:10Speaker 4: it shouldn't be normalized.
- 18:12Speaker 1: And I think the regulatory guard rails around this stuff
- 18:16Speaker 1: has to happen before any further research goes on, because
- 18:20Speaker 1: you know, just look at AI for instance, where they
- 18:23Speaker 1: went hell for leather with no regulatory guardrails whatsoever, and
- 18:27Speaker 1: then you create something that just cannot be regulated. So
- 18:30Speaker 1: if you don't get on top of it now, then
- 18:33Speaker 1: there is no hope of doing anything about Because science
- 18:35Speaker 1: and medicine, of course, it's going to continue down the
- 18:38Speaker 1: line of doing these things. They're going to investigate everything
- 18:40Speaker 1: they possibly can. But if you don't put any rules
- 18:43Speaker 1: in place, it'll all get out of hand before.
- 18:45Speaker 4: You get And it's big money for them as well,
- 18:47Speaker 4: I mean fertility industry, big big money.
- 18:51Speaker 5: But it does solve the problem though for women that
- 18:53Speaker 5: are too old to have babies because they no longer.
- 18:56Speaker 1: Have eggs, it could yeah, yeah, so that is that
- 18:57Speaker 1: is a solution, indeed, And these are the potential benefits, right,
- 19:03Speaker 1: But you can't you.
- 19:05Speaker 5: Had cancer and along eggs, but benefits at what cost?
- 19:09Speaker 4: And a lot of the time there are other factors
- 19:12Speaker 4: going on that mean women have delayed having children because
- 19:16Speaker 4: they were told by our culture it's not a good
- 19:18Speaker 4: thing to do. There are many other factors that we
- 19:20Speaker 4: can address before we start creating eggs with male DNA.
- 19:26Speaker 1: Yeah, well, yes, I wouldn't be putting another blokes if
- 19:29Speaker 1: you were a woman who wanted a child, I wouldn't
- 19:31Speaker 1: be seeking two fellas to have viewed the DNA.
- 19:34Speaker 3: Why not?
- 19:35Speaker 2: Well, I mean you prefer your own, wouldn't you.
- 19:37Speaker 1: While we're talking about Hinda and all of these sorts
- 19:39Speaker 1: of things, the kids in school, they're not boys and girls,
- 19:46Speaker 1: you know every I come on some nights and I
- 19:51Speaker 1: just go like, am I on the same planet as
- 19:54Speaker 1: everyone else?
- 19:55Speaker 2: And today is one of those ones.
- 19:57Speaker 1: You might We talked about a story earlier in the
- 19:59Speaker 1: year when you Ow's Teachers Federation put out this communica saying,
- 20:03Speaker 1: you know, you should call your kids not boys and girls,
- 20:06Speaker 1: but intellectuals and epic humans and awesome humans and superstars
- 20:12Speaker 1: and all this sort of garbage. Well, it turns out
- 20:15Speaker 1: it's not just the New South Wales Teachers Federation. This
- 20:17Speaker 1: stuff is going around now, some form of it anyway,
- 20:22Speaker 1: from state governments, including South Australia, where the Education Department
- 20:28Speaker 1: is telling teachers that they are responsible this is a
- 20:32Speaker 1: quote responsible for promoting the use of inclusive and non
- 20:35Speaker 1: gendered language within the education or early childhood server setting.
- 20:40Speaker 1: So they're explicitly being told to use non gendered language.
- 20:46Speaker 1: And a number of teachers have been discussing this online
- 20:49Speaker 1: and the Daily Telegraph had this story today and good
- 20:53Speaker 1: on them exposing what a number of the different states
- 20:56Speaker 1: are doing. I mean, the same rules of play all
- 20:58Speaker 1: over the country. Victoria, queenslandts have similar readings, and so
- 21:02Speaker 1: teachers have been asking the question, well, if I can't
- 21:05Speaker 1: call my students boys girls and they are boys girls,
- 21:09Speaker 1: what can I call them? And the suggestions that have
- 21:13Speaker 1: come back to these teachers include Cherum's friends, funsters, Oh yes, anyway,
- 21:21Speaker 1: good morning funsters, good morning miss Racken back, I mean.
- 21:26Speaker 2: What on earth?
- 21:27Speaker 1: And the other one, which is perhaps site more appropriate
- 21:31Speaker 1: in this case, is the suggestion is comrades, which is
- 21:36Speaker 1: probably what the teachers are calling each other in the breakroom.
- 21:38Speaker 2: If this is the sort of stuff they do, I mean, honestly,
- 21:42Speaker 2: am I on another planet?
- 21:44Speaker 4: I yes, Like, I don't know how any parent can
- 21:49Speaker 4: look at this and think this is okay. I mean,
- 21:52Speaker 4: the thought I had was I am scared to send
- 21:55Speaker 4: my future children to a public school or anywhere where
- 21:58Speaker 4: these teachers' unions have any influence whatsoever, because if this
- 22:02Speaker 4: is the kind of stuff that they are being told
- 22:06Speaker 4: to indoctrinate children with, that there's no such thing as
- 22:10Speaker 4: boys and girls, only epic humans and funsters.
- 22:13Speaker 3: That is just plain weird.
- 22:15Speaker 4: And even the term guys referring to students collectively as
- 22:20Speaker 4: guys is apparently provocative because it assumes they're guys and
- 22:24Speaker 4: its gendered language. What has the world come to.
- 22:28Speaker 1: Who was the former army chief that became Australian of
- 22:31Speaker 1: the Year. His name escapes me anyway, He was in
- 22:36Speaker 1: the same year as Kate McGregor, who wrote him the
- 22:39Speaker 1: speech about behavior in the military that basically won him
- 22:43Speaker 1: the Australian the Year should have gone to Caate MacGregor.
- 22:45Speaker 2: But he then became Australian of the Year.
- 22:47Speaker 1: And came out and did a campaign where he said
- 22:50Speaker 1: you should not use the word guys in the workplace
- 22:53Speaker 1: because it's just ridiculous.
- 22:55Speaker 2: David Morris. David Morrison's I.
- 22:58Speaker 5: I have got two kids in a local public school,
- 23:01Speaker 5: and it was funny. I actually we were at an
- 23:03Speaker 5: assembly and the vice principal said, good morning, boys and girls.
- 23:07Speaker 5: I said to my husband, oh my god, I've never
- 23:09Speaker 5: been so happy to hear those words before. But we
- 23:11Speaker 5: are demonizing those terms boys and girls, and that's making
- 23:15Speaker 5: this next generation think that there's something wrong with those
- 23:18Speaker 5: words when it's just human biology. What is wrong we're
- 23:21Speaker 5: saying boys and girls. We are jamming activism into the classroom.
- 23:26Speaker 5: There's just no place for it. They should be out
- 23:28Speaker 5: there playing in the playground, doing maths and reading and
- 23:31Speaker 5: writing napland results are going down the drain because they're
- 23:35Speaker 5: focusing on stuff. Little kids' brains cannot cope with this
- 23:39Speaker 5: sort of rubbish, as well as things like climate change,
- 23:41Speaker 5: and they just need to be taught the basics of
- 23:44Speaker 5: how to be a good human really, and reading and writing.
- 23:48Speaker 5: And it was interesting because a Daily Telegraph where this
- 23:51Speaker 5: article was online, had a poll asking whether gender inclusive
- 23:55Speaker 5: language should be used in the school ground. Now I
- 23:58Speaker 5: did do the poll a few hours ago, might be
- 24:00Speaker 5: slightly different, but at the time there were eleven thousand
- 24:03Speaker 5: people had voted. Ninety seven percent said no, there is
- 24:07Speaker 5: no place for this in schools.
- 24:09Speaker 4: It's absurd and no wonder so many kids are confused
- 24:13Speaker 4: and anxious. Just look on what they're being taught in schools.
- 24:16Speaker 4: But the gender nonsense is not unique to Australia. It's
- 24:20Speaker 4: also over in the United States, where a Senate hearing
- 24:24Speaker 4: erupted after a Republican senator questioned a former Biden official
- 24:29Speaker 4: on why, as part of their plan to reduce gun violence,
- 24:33Speaker 4: they were promoting safe spaces.
- 24:36Speaker 3: For two spirited people. Check it out.
- 24:41Speaker 7: You are the witness called by the Democrats on this committee,
- 24:44Speaker 7: so I assume you reflect their views. Well, you don't
- 24:45Speaker 7: want to fund the police, you want to fund safe
- 24:48Speaker 7: spaces for two spirit individuals. What is a two spirit person?
- 24:51Speaker 7: I feel like I'm looking at a two faced individual
- 24:54Speaker 7: because you talk about retard No, sir, you're looking at
- 24:56Speaker 7: somebody who's reading you your own words, and I'd like
- 24:58Speaker 7: to hear an answer. Program's the answer. The answer is,
- 25:01Speaker 7: you don't have any solutions. You want to invest in
- 25:03Speaker 7: gobble the gooog. And I take a fense that you
- 25:05Speaker 7: would think that I'm.
- 25:08Speaker 3: Focused on word a lot of question dodging.
- 25:13Speaker 4: Now, he was asked specifically, what does too spirited mean?
- 25:17Speaker 3: What does this mean? Because your gun.
- 25:20Speaker 4: Violent strategy is hinging on inclusivity for two spirited people.
- 25:24Speaker 4: Now too spirit is apparently it's it's very bizarre. It's
- 25:30Speaker 4: apparently in reference to indigenous groups where they have this
- 25:34Speaker 4: concept of like transgenderism that is apparently ancient and before
- 25:40Speaker 4: before Western interference. So there's this ancient too spirit concept
- 25:45Speaker 4: of that you can be somehow too genders.
- 25:48Speaker 3: It's all very very strange.
- 25:51Speaker 1: Supposedly you have like male and masculine and feminine spirits or.
- 25:57Speaker 2: Some business and I don't know.
- 25:59Speaker 1: I'm going to go home and I can look at
- 26:00Speaker 1: my drinks trolley and determine whether the bourbon is masculine
- 26:03Speaker 1: and the dealer is feminine. That's the spirits I generally
- 26:07Speaker 1: deal with. I don't know about anyone else, but I mean, like,
- 26:10Speaker 1: what is going So we defund the police and we're
- 26:13Speaker 1: just going to replace the whole lot with them, you know,
- 26:15Speaker 1: spaces led by Native Americans who believe that they are
- 26:19Speaker 1: male and female at the same time.
- 26:21Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 26:22Speaker 1: And these are the people who worked in the Biden administration.
- 26:25Speaker 5: Well, the issue there is that it's just so bizarre
- 26:28Speaker 5: that he couldn't answer the question, and he doesn't even
- 26:32Speaker 5: know what it is they're calling to defund the police
- 26:36Speaker 5: and put it towards something that he doesn't actually know
- 26:39Speaker 5: what he's calling for. And you just hate to think
- 26:42Speaker 5: how much other taxpayer funded money is going to things
- 26:45Speaker 5: like this. You know, I think about in our own country.
- 26:47Speaker 5: Remember just internamaginger Price was going to have a role
- 26:50Speaker 5: under Peter Duncan where she was going to look at
- 26:52Speaker 5: the excessive spending and four hundred and fifty thousand dollars
- 26:55Speaker 5: is going to Welcome to Country ceremonies. So you think
- 26:57Speaker 5: about where all this money is going. It's just crazy
- 27:00Speaker 5: that he just couldn't answer the question.
- 27:02Speaker 1: And if you thought two Spirit was pretty good, take
- 27:05Speaker 1: a gander at this one that Clinton Maynard over at
- 27:08Speaker 1: two GB turned up.
- 27:11Speaker 8: In the gender section on this particular online application for
- 27:15Speaker 8: a job, there were thirty three options. It starts female male,
- 27:21Speaker 8: A gender A dronone by gender cis female sis, male
- 27:26Speaker 8: cisgender DEMI boy. I could go on, what's it good
- 27:29Speaker 8: to do with applying for a job?
- 27:32Speaker 1: I mean, for goodness, sake again, I thought a cis male.
- 27:36Speaker 2: Was a bloke. You thought it was a bit female,
- 27:37Speaker 2: a little bit sissy.
- 27:38Speaker 1: I don't know, but apparently it means that you are
- 27:41Speaker 1: a male who was born in a male body and
- 27:43Speaker 1: still believes you for So you're just a male.
- 27:45Speaker 2: You're a bloke. Yes, you just.
- 27:47Speaker 3: Want a label, but you're actually just a bloke.
- 27:50Speaker 2: How many do you need on a job?
- 27:52Speaker 3: There?
- 27:52Speaker 5: Thirty three though? Thirty three different genders? And what the
- 27:56Speaker 5: hector to apply for a job? What's a demi boy?
- 27:59Speaker 5: Why do they just keep inventing new gender?
- 28:01Speaker 2: Why is it mmy boy the pope?
- 28:04Speaker 5: When you're applying for a job, shouldn't you be talking
- 28:07Speaker 5: more so about your skills and your experience? I don't
- 28:10Speaker 5: understand why it matters about having to list thirty three genders.
- 28:12Speaker 5: Couldn't you just put don't want to say?
- 28:14Speaker 4: Or well, if you're calling yourself a demi boy, I'm
- 28:17Speaker 4: curious as to what skills you do actually bring, because
- 28:20Speaker 4: logic is probably not one of them.
- 28:22Speaker 1: I do wonder, though, if you were a demi boy,
- 28:24Speaker 1: do you reckon you'd be able to get a job
- 28:26Speaker 1: in the US military? Because I tell you what, Pete
- 28:29Speaker 1: haig seth over that the defense of the defense the
- 28:32Speaker 1: secretary of war. So I was going for defense here,
- 28:35Speaker 1: it's not the Secretary of Defense anymore. Is the Secretary
- 28:38Speaker 1: of War?
- 28:39Speaker 2: Is who he is?
- 28:40Speaker 1: Gave a bit of a stump speech to He got
- 28:43Speaker 1: people from all over, you know, out posts of the
- 28:45Speaker 1: US military. They all had to come back and listen
- 28:47Speaker 1: to him, and he basically said, there will be no
- 28:50Speaker 1: demi boys.
- 28:51Speaker 6: To remove the social justice, politically correct and toxic ideological
- 28:56Speaker 6: garbage that had infected our department. To rip our out
- 29:01Speaker 6: the politics. No more identity months, dei offices, dudes in dresses,
- 29:10Speaker 6: no more climate change worship, no more division distraction or
- 29:14Speaker 6: gender delusions, no more debris. As I've said before, and
- 29:19Speaker 6: we'll say again, we are done with that.
- 29:22Speaker 1: Shit here here I'm so I'm crying about the lack
- 29:27Speaker 1: of dutes and dresses in the military now though, And
- 29:29Speaker 1: look to be fair, he does say I am more
- 29:33Speaker 1: than happy to.
- 29:34Speaker 2: Have women in the military. Put them on the front line.
- 29:38Speaker 2: You just have to rise to the requisite standard.
- 29:42Speaker 6: When it comes to any job that requires physical power
- 29:46Speaker 6: to perform in combat. Those physical standards must be high
- 29:49Speaker 6: and gender neutral. If women can make it excellent.
- 29:54Speaker 1: If not, it is what it is.
- 29:56Speaker 6: If that means no women qualify for some combat jobs.
- 29:59Speaker 1: So this is the thing I've never understood about the
- 30:03Speaker 1: argument about whether women should or should not be in
- 30:06Speaker 1: the military. Personally, I don't think they should be on
- 30:09Speaker 1: the front line. I know you might call me a
- 30:12Speaker 1: misogynist or a chauvinist or whatever for saying that, But
- 30:16Speaker 1: you know, for me, I think it's just a chivalrous
- 30:19Speaker 1: point of view that we shouldn't be putting women in
- 30:21Speaker 1: the line of fire. But if you accept that, yes,
- 30:25Speaker 1: women should be allowed to serve on the front line,
- 30:29Speaker 1: I've never understood why you then go in order to
- 30:32Speaker 1: do that, we will lower the bar to get more
- 30:36Speaker 1: women in. Like, surely you don't want more women in
- 30:39Speaker 1: the military just for the sake of having more women
- 30:41Speaker 1: who can get shot and dead. If you have a war,
- 30:43Speaker 1: you have a standard. If women make it fine.
- 30:47Speaker 3: Your spot on.
- 30:48Speaker 5: And remember during the campaign, Andrew Hasty had this exact
- 30:52Speaker 5: He was called out by reporters where he literally said
- 30:56Speaker 5: he had to carry his eighty five kilo comrade and
- 31:00Speaker 5: their packs to be able to get his wounded soldier
- 31:03Speaker 5: off the front line. And this is what is expected
- 31:05Speaker 5: of the soldiers, and if a female wants to do
- 31:08Speaker 5: that position, then you've got to go through the same
- 31:11Speaker 5: rigorous training, but more so for your own protection, to
- 31:13Speaker 5: ensure that you are up to standard. But wasn't so
- 31:16Speaker 5: refreshing to listen to Pete haig Seth. I really enjoyed
- 31:20Speaker 5: everything that he said.
- 31:21Speaker 3: There's more.
- 31:22Speaker 5: I know that we're going to be sharing, but I
- 31:24Speaker 5: just thought it's great that he's standing up there. That
- 31:26Speaker 5: wokeness is not going to be tolerated. There's not a
- 31:29Speaker 5: place for it within the army, the DEI and all
- 31:32Speaker 5: of that sort of stuff. It's time to move on.
- 31:34Speaker 5: And I hope that we can follow suit here.
- 31:36Speaker 3: One hundred percent.
- 31:37Speaker 4: And this is the only gender neutral I like gender
- 31:40Speaker 4: neutral recruitment standards.
- 31:41Speaker 3: Great.
- 31:42Speaker 4: You guys always talk about how we need to treat
- 31:44Speaker 4: people the same gender neutral everything. Okay, well let's have
- 31:47Speaker 4: the same standards to apply to everyone. On a similar note,
- 31:52Speaker 4: Pete haig Seth also railed against fat troops and fat generals.
- 31:57Speaker 3: Check it out.
- 32:00Speaker 6: Ing to look out at combat formations or really any
- 32:02Speaker 6: formation and see fat troops. Likewise, it's completely unacceptable to
- 32:07Speaker 6: see fat generals and admirals in the halls of the Pentagon.
- 32:10Speaker 6: So whether you're an airborne ranger or a chairborne ranger,
- 32:14Speaker 6: a brand new private, or a four star general, you
- 32:16Speaker 6: need to meet the height and weight standards and pass
- 32:18Speaker 6: the PT tests.
- 32:20Speaker 4: Now, the women at the VIEW were outraged that he
- 32:24Speaker 4: would target fat people and say that is not okay.
- 32:28Speaker 3: They said, the optics of this were terrible.
- 32:32Speaker 9: I'm actually really defuddled by why he did that. The
- 32:36Speaker 9: optics were terrible. Return to the highest male standard for
- 32:41Speaker 9: combat positions because the troops were fat. I don't understand
- 32:47Speaker 9: how that was supposed to be an uplifting message for
- 32:49Speaker 9: our military.
- 32:51Speaker 4: I don't think it was supposed to be an uplifting
- 32:54Speaker 4: message for the military.
- 32:55Speaker 3: I think it was supposed to be a wake.
- 32:57Speaker 4: Up call that they need to be They are the
- 33:00Speaker 4: Department of War.
- 33:01Speaker 3: They've rebranded.
- 33:02Speaker 4: They're going on the attack, and they need to be
- 33:04Speaker 4: able to defend the United States of America when we're
- 33:07Speaker 4: at war with China. No one's going to be going,
- 33:10Speaker 4: oh my gosh, but we just need another fat person
- 33:12Speaker 4: on the front lines. That would really help us so much. No,
- 33:15Speaker 4: you need to win wars. This wasn't supposed to be
- 33:18Speaker 4: a pep talk. This was supposed to be a reality.
- 33:21Speaker 1: Check, which got one thing right. The optics sometimes are
- 33:23Speaker 1: not pretty good on fat people. And Joy Bihar as well,
- 33:26Speaker 1: she's one of the other bread bags on this program.
- 33:29Speaker 1: And you know she thinks this is the end of America.
- 33:33Speaker 9: Every day it's every day is a shark and owe
- 33:36Speaker 9: here and I for one skeptical that we will survive this.
- 33:43Speaker 2: What I'm skip, but.
- 33:46Speaker 3: We're not going to survive it.
- 33:47Speaker 1: So the blokes they say, we need a strong military
- 33:50Speaker 1: so we could win a.
- 33:51Speaker 2: War if we were in one, but we're not going
- 33:53Speaker 2: to survive.
- 33:54Speaker 5: I know, so dramatic watching that vision, but not surprising.
- 33:58Speaker 5: And I think when you are in the army, think
- 34:01Speaker 5: about how fit everyone used to be, and it's part
- 34:04Speaker 5: of their ability. It is key to be able to
- 34:07Speaker 5: go out and defend your country. But I think anyone
- 34:09Speaker 5: that's out there, you know, the police force, probably the same.
- 34:11Speaker 5: If you've got to be running around and using your
- 34:14Speaker 5: body on the line, you want to be as fit
- 34:15Speaker 5: as you possibly can. Donald Trump also spoke quite glowingly
- 34:19Speaker 5: off the back of what Hegseth had to say and
- 34:21Speaker 5: said the same thing, you need to.
- 34:22Speaker 4: Be fit and it starts from the top. And this
- 34:26Speaker 4: is why I liked hag Seth's message. The generals aren't
- 34:29Speaker 4: immune from this either, because it is a cultural issue.
- 34:33Speaker 4: If you have excellence the whole way through the ranks
- 34:36Speaker 4: of the defense force, you will be strong.
- 34:38Speaker 3: But if there's a.
- 34:39Speaker 4: Sense that you've got the fat cats off the top.
- 34:41Speaker 2: Who are you're not fat cats? No, we can't have
- 34:43Speaker 2: fat cats.
- 34:44Speaker 3: Anymore, the thin catcher.
- 34:48Speaker 4: If you've got them at the top who are not
- 34:50Speaker 4: up to sand and not up to scratch, well, what's
- 34:52Speaker 4: the incentive for the younger people coming through to meet
- 34:55Speaker 4: those standards? It erodes excellence. So I love Hagxeth.
- 34:59Speaker 1: Indeed, speaking of young people meeting standards very quickly before
- 35:02Speaker 1: we get to a break. A groundbreaking study from THEECD
- 35:07Speaker 1: says that kids learn better when they read books instead
- 35:10Speaker 1: of using technology.
- 35:11Speaker 2: Who would have thought to.
- 35:12Speaker 1: It said that their comprehension skills have deeper comprehension and
- 35:16Speaker 1: more engagement when they read it versus when they're looking
- 35:19Speaker 1: at a screen. I want to know how much money
- 35:22Speaker 1: we spent on that, to be told the bleeding obvious.
- 35:24Speaker 5: Yes, I know, and it's very much bleeding obvious. And
- 35:27Speaker 5: I know with my own children when they have their
- 35:29Speaker 5: iPads and they go, I don't need to write that
- 35:32Speaker 5: word because of the.
- 35:32Speaker 3: Predictive text does it for them, so.
- 35:35Speaker 5: They don't learn to read or write using a screen.
- 35:37Speaker 2: So true, Why would you want to write these days?
- 35:40Speaker 2: I'll tell you what.
- 35:41Speaker 1: Get a fountain pin. Get a fountain pin and learn
- 35:44Speaker 1: to write by hand. And it is actually a completely
- 35:47Speaker 1: different experience than you may actually enjoy writing by your kids.
- 35:51Speaker 1: Are fountain penny your grandkids, they might actually enjoy it.
- 35:53Speaker 1: After the break, we'll get into the papers on the
- 35:55Speaker 1: front of the Herald Sun tomorrow just how bad things
- 35:58Speaker 1: are getting with the tobacco wall and the threats being
- 36:01Speaker 1: put upon innocent shops.
- 36:03Speaker 2: And on the front of the.
- 36:03Speaker 1: Os the university that now has a majority of its
- 36:07Speaker 1: students coming from overseas. That more soon, Let's get into
- 36:14Speaker 1: tomorrow's news tonight here on the Lake Debate. Of course,
- 36:17Speaker 1: we've got tomorrow's papers, as we do every evening on
- 36:19Speaker 1: the Herald Sun tomorrow, Jamie, where they smoke this fire?
- 36:22Speaker 5: Yeah, this is a scary story. Caleb thug Law Country
- 36:27Speaker 5: Store staff have lifted the lid on how an underworld
- 36:30Speaker 5: cartel is terrorizing small businesses. Their shop was hit by
- 36:34Speaker 5: a ramrey days after the owners ignored a chilling order
- 36:37Speaker 5: from crime kingping Chasm hamad, you have twenty four hours
- 36:42Speaker 5: to contact the commission on WhatsApp. Is what this handwritten
- 36:46Speaker 5: note left on the grocery's door read. This is frightening.
- 36:51Speaker 2: So this is Hammad Chasm.
- 36:53Speaker 1: Hammad is one of the big players in the list
- 36:56Speaker 1: of tobacco game and basically his boys go around Victoria
- 37:00Speaker 1: going to you know, convenience stores and tobacconists and whatever,
- 37:05Speaker 1: and they say you've got twenty four hours or forty
- 37:08Speaker 1: eight hours to pay up a large summer money. Normally
- 37:10Speaker 1: it's three to five grand, which is protection money. Otherwise
- 37:14Speaker 1: will come and five on your ram raid. And then
- 37:17Speaker 1: they basically force you, with the threat of being targeted,
- 37:21Speaker 1: to sell their illicit tobacco for them.
- 37:23Speaker 2: I mean, what a great business model.
- 37:25Speaker 4: It's so brazen though, Like that's what shocks me, the
- 37:29Speaker 4: fact that they feel like they can get away with
- 37:33Speaker 4: threatening small business owners and servo operators with being targeted
- 37:39Speaker 4: and attacked if they don't start selling illicit tobacco. I
- 37:42Speaker 4: mean that just shows you the state of the justice
- 37:45Speaker 4: system and policing in Victoria, where organized crime feels like
- 37:49Speaker 4: they have free rein to go and terrorize honest, hardworking
- 37:54Speaker 4: small businesses.
- 37:55Speaker 3: It's just disgusting.
- 37:56Speaker 2: It is extraordinary.
- 37:57Speaker 5: I guess it goes back to the story we spoke
- 37:59Speaker 5: about yesterday. Three hundred thousand crimes were unsolved in Victoria,
- 38:03Speaker 5: so I can imagine these will all be part of that.
- 38:06Speaker 1: I've been banging on about this story for years, and
- 38:09Speaker 1: I'm glad it's getting good traction now. But every day
- 38:12Speaker 1: there's just another story about how bad this has become,
- 38:15Speaker 1: and I fear that it is now so bad that
- 38:18Speaker 1: it's almost impossible to get the genie back in the bottle.
- 38:20Speaker 1: Let's look at the front of the Australian tomorrow. Speaking
- 38:23Speaker 1: of trying to get the genie back into the bottle,
- 38:25Speaker 1: how about this University of Sydney's new equation International students
- 38:29Speaker 1: equal fifty one percent. Foreigners outnumbered Australian students at the
- 38:33Speaker 1: nation's oldest university last year, with new figures revealing for
- 38:37Speaker 1: the first time the magnitude of institutions reliance on revenue
- 38:41Speaker 1: from international enrollments. As universities Australia prepares to take its
- 38:45Speaker 1: biggest post pandemic delegation of university leaders to China this month.
- 38:49Speaker 1: Beyond campus, concentration of international students at almost every university
- 38:54Speaker 1: has been revealed in calculations produced for The Australian by
- 38:58Speaker 1: the Federal Education Department. And if you have a look
- 39:02Speaker 1: on the front page there there is a graphic.
- 39:04Speaker 2: It's probably a.
- 39:04Speaker 1: Bit small to see on your screen. But if you
- 39:06Speaker 1: pick up the odds tomorrow, the first one there is,
- 39:10Speaker 1: you said, which is fifty one percent. Then you've got
- 39:12Speaker 1: University of New South Wales forty six percent, Murdoch University
- 39:15Speaker 1: forty five.
- 39:16Speaker 2: Then you go all the way down an.
- 39:18Speaker 1: US forty percent, University Queensland thirty nine percent, on and
- 39:22Speaker 1: on it goes.
- 39:24Speaker 2: And the reliance now on.
- 39:26Speaker 1: Overseas students we know is huge, even though we're told
- 39:30Speaker 1: we're trying to cut down on them. When you have
- 39:33Speaker 1: a UNI allegedly one of the most prestigious in the
- 39:37Speaker 1: country and fifty one percent majority of their students are foreign,
- 39:44Speaker 1: there is something wrong.
- 39:45Speaker 4: Who do you universities actually serve anymore? What is the
- 39:49Speaker 4: point of Australian universities. I think that's a serious question.
- 39:53Speaker 4: Where's a country have to answer, because clearly they've just
- 39:57Speaker 4: become multi billion dollar business that are going to use
- 40:02Speaker 4: international students for their own revenue, to hire more bureaucrats,
- 40:06Speaker 4: to build more buildings, to create a bigger and bigger behemoth.
- 40:10Speaker 4: But what value is that actually providing to Australians anymore?
- 40:14Speaker 4: The student experience is shot, the value of degrees is
- 40:18Speaker 4: going down. Our reputation at internationally is at stake because
- 40:22Speaker 4: people know this is a farce. And in some degrees
- 40:25Speaker 4: like it, it says two thirds of students are international.
- 40:29Speaker 3: I mean, this is just nuts.
- 40:30Speaker 5: You can see why they continue to take international students
- 40:33Speaker 5: when some of them are paying up to two hundred
- 40:35Speaker 5: thousand dollars for their degree. So it's certainly almost like
- 40:38Speaker 5: a cash cow for the universe.
- 40:40Speaker 4: Yes, it's just the money printing machine. But hey, maybe
- 40:43Speaker 4: some universities should go bus, maybe their budgets should be
- 40:47Speaker 4: cut because there's a lot of waste and bloating there.
- 40:49Speaker 4: But in the Daily Telegraph tomorrow, our Island Dream brave
- 40:54Speaker 4: new bid to save working port and build thousands of
- 40:58Speaker 4: new homes. Business leaders to save Sydney Harbour's last working
- 41:02Speaker 4: port have unveiled stunning new plans to prove Gleebe Island
- 41:06Speaker 4: can continue maritime operations and still deliver thousands of homes
- 41:11Speaker 4: for the New South Wales government. Now Gleeb Island is
- 41:16Speaker 4: just on the west side of the Anzac Bridge as
- 41:19Speaker 4: you were leaving the city and this all started to
- 41:23Speaker 4: unfold after the rose Hill Racecourse housing plan fell over
- 41:27Speaker 4: and now Chris Minds is going, oh my gosh, where
- 41:29Speaker 4: else are we going to build thousands of houses in Sydney.
- 41:32Speaker 3: Well, this is one of them.
- 41:34Speaker 4: But the problem is, as the article states, it's the
- 41:36Speaker 4: last working port in Sydney Harbor, so it is a
- 41:39Speaker 4: critical piece of infrastructure. Now they're looking at ways that
- 41:43Speaker 4: you could potentially have the port operating alongside housing. Good idea.
- 41:47Speaker 4: I think it's a pretty bad I saw at the moment.
- 41:51Speaker 4: So it'll be nicer for the area. But you have
- 41:53Speaker 4: to have that port. You can't get rid of it.
- 41:55Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they can get it to work.
- 41:56Speaker 1: Good on them.
- 41:57Speaker 2: I think it's greater.
- 41:58Speaker 1: I'll fight the death to keep working fort in Sydney
- 42:01Speaker 1: and anyone who believes in climate change, by the way,
- 42:03Speaker 1: or to be faring for a working port in Sydney,
- 42:06Speaker 1: because if they don't have a working port here because
- 42:09Speaker 1: of course we're broadcasting in a Sydney then the ships
- 42:11Speaker 1: either have to go to Newcastle or Port Kimbler, where
- 42:15Speaker 1: you then put the gear on a truck and send
- 42:17Speaker 1: it into Sydney.
- 42:18Speaker 2: So it's bad for the environment.
- 42:19Speaker 1: I'm telling you if you don't have a working port
- 42:22Speaker 1: in Sydney, the only thing.
- 42:24Speaker 2: Is you know, it's all apartments.
- 42:25Speaker 1: And I know that people need places to live, but
- 42:30Speaker 1: I don't know people really want to live in dog boxes.
- 42:33Speaker 2: I get if they've got no choice, that's what they're
- 42:35Speaker 2: going to do, but is it really what people want.
- 42:37Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 42:38Speaker 5: Well, let's have a look at the front page of
- 42:40Speaker 5: the Courier mail, where trust in the cops falls. Only
- 42:44Speaker 5: one in two Queenslanders believe police treat people fairly. As
- 42:48Speaker 5: public trust in the service drops to its lowest in
- 42:50Speaker 5: a decade, just sixty eight point three percent have agreed
- 42:54Speaker 5: that police act professionally. I don't know about this.
- 42:59Speaker 2: It's it's pretty extort one in two queens Ander's bluepit.
- 43:02Speaker 1: It I'm not surprised to some do. I reckon COVID
- 43:08Speaker 1: went a long way to destroying people's faith in police,
- 43:12Speaker 1: which is unfit to some degree because they did a
- 43:15Speaker 1: lot of stuff at the behest of state premiers, etc.
- 43:19Speaker 1: But it also speaks to probably why police forces are
- 43:22Speaker 1: struggling so much to get people to sign up, and
- 43:25Speaker 1: this has been a problem across the country because if
- 43:28Speaker 1: the population doesn't trust the police, why would you want
- 43:32Speaker 1: to become a police officer?
- 43:35Speaker 3: Correct?
- 43:35Speaker 4: And I think people also might be looking overseas at
- 43:38Speaker 4: places like the UK where you have police arresting people
- 43:41Speaker 4: because of social media posts. Is this really the best
- 43:44Speaker 4: use of resources? And then ultimately it just undermines trust,
- 43:48Speaker 4: which is bad for everyone.
- 43:50Speaker 1: Indeed, on the front of the Northern Territory newsed tomorrow,
- 43:53Speaker 1: VAD push progresses Voluntary sister dying laws will soon be
- 43:57Speaker 1: introduced to the Northern Territory Parliament, making a significant step
- 44:01Speaker 1: towards territories regaining the right to access end of life
- 44:04Speaker 1: choices almost three decades after they were stripped away. And
- 44:08Speaker 1: of course the territories do have the ability to do
- 44:11Speaker 1: that do it now. I think the Act has got
- 44:13Speaker 1: it and that was the trouble last time, of course,
- 44:15Speaker 1: because the territories are a completely different legal setup and
- 44:18Speaker 1: when they tried to do it. As the article says,
- 44:21Speaker 1: thirty years ago the Faedial government stepped in and stopped
- 44:25Speaker 1: them from doing it. And you know, rather ironically, they're
- 44:29Speaker 1: one of the last jurisdictions left in the country where
- 44:31Speaker 1: they don't have it, having been the first that tried
- 44:33Speaker 1: to do it.
- 44:33Speaker 5: Yeah, I think this is something I think a voluntary
- 44:36Speaker 5: assist of dying is something that we should all have
- 44:39Speaker 5: access to.
- 44:39Speaker 3: If you want.
- 44:40Speaker 5: To go down that path, it's something that we should.
- 44:43Speaker 3: Have access to. Well, I think it's pretty sad.
- 44:44Speaker 4: But in the Townsville Bullets and Tomorrow the headline is
- 44:47Speaker 4: I'm going to die. Speaking of dying, a Townsville man
- 44:51Speaker 4: with terminal prostate cancer had his diagnosis missed for two
- 44:54Speaker 4: years after Townsville University Hospital failed to follow up on
- 44:58Speaker 4: his referral. Now he's spending his final days fighting to
- 45:02Speaker 4: make sure it doesn't happen again. Now, this Townsville hospital
- 45:06Speaker 4: bungle has been unfolding for days now.
- 45:09Speaker 3: But it's just heartbreaking, it.
- 45:11Speaker 1: Is, indeed, And when you have human consequences like that,
- 45:15Speaker 1: a man whose case should have been picked up, it
- 45:18Speaker 1: is just awful. After the break, the man who reckons
- 45:21Speaker 1: he's the love child of Queen Charles, Queen Charles quing
- 45:26Speaker 1: Charles and Queen Camilla and his case against the Queen
- 45:29Speaker 1: Saint government, and how do you feel about aluminium wine
- 45:33Speaker 1: bombs that's coming up? Well, well, well do we have
- 45:39Speaker 1: a doozy for you today, John Day to Day's entry
- 45:49Speaker 1: is Simon Duranti Day. He says that he is the
- 45:52Speaker 1: love child of King Charles and Queen Camilla. And he
- 45:57Speaker 1: went off to the police in Queensland because he was
- 46:01Speaker 1: most upset that people were posting on Facebook about his
- 46:06Speaker 1: lineage and his adoption and all this sort of business
- 46:08Speaker 1: and putting documents online that disproved that he is actually
- 46:12Speaker 1: the love child of the King and Queen. And so
- 46:15Speaker 1: we went to the cops and said you must do
- 46:17Speaker 1: something about this, and the cops said no. So he
- 46:19Speaker 1: tried to soothe them and said that his human rights
- 46:22Speaker 1: had been denied and he needed a restoration of natural justice.
- 46:26Speaker 1: Funnily enough, the court said there was no case to answer.
- 46:30Speaker 1: But if we get that photo back there of old Nix,
- 46:33Speaker 1: what's his name, Simon de Andy Day next to the king,
- 46:37Speaker 1: do we really think is he the love child of
- 46:41Speaker 1: Charles and famili.
- 46:42Speaker 5: A bit of resemblance.
- 46:43Speaker 3: The eyes and the eyebrows. That's about it. But I
- 46:47Speaker 3: think he's a bit de lulu.
- 46:50Speaker 4: But someone el lulu with zero salulu. Now, someone else
- 46:54Speaker 4: who is also rather delusional is someone who's called the
- 46:57Speaker 4: QAnon Shaman. He was an is pardoned by Trump after
- 47:02Speaker 4: he participated in the January sixth riots, but now he
- 47:05Speaker 4: has turned against Trump and is suing him for forty
- 47:09Speaker 4: trillion dollars, claiming he is the true commander in chief.
- 47:15Speaker 3: The other people he've met his named in.
- 47:17Speaker 4: His lawsuit the Federal Reserve, the National Security Agency, the IMF,
- 47:22Speaker 4: the World Bank, the State of Israel, x T Mobile,
- 47:26Speaker 4: and Warner Brothers Studios. So this is a far reaching
- 47:30Speaker 4: complaint that allegedly reads more like a manifesto than a
- 47:34Speaker 4: serious legal document. But with horns like that, I mean,
- 47:38Speaker 4: something's going on up there.
- 47:41Speaker 1: Forty trillion dollars.
- 47:44Speaker 2: No one has forty trillion dollars. Where's where's he going
- 47:47Speaker 2: to get the forty trillion dollars from?
- 47:50Speaker 3: It's clearly a son and he says that the.
- 47:52Speaker 1: US should only have two laws, the Bill of Rights
- 47:55Speaker 1: and the original US Constitution. Apart from that, go for
- 47:59Speaker 1: your life. I'll tell you what it sounds like a
- 48:01Speaker 1: fun experiment.
- 48:02Speaker 2: I'd love to see it.
- 48:04Speaker 5: Well for wine drinkers, would you be having your drop
- 48:08Speaker 5: out of an aluminium wine bottle?
- 48:10Speaker 3: Well?
- 48:11Speaker 5: In Victoria, Brown Brothers have created the first ever aluminium
- 48:15Speaker 5: bottle now. They said they've done this as a way
- 48:18Speaker 5: to reduce carbon emissions from mass glass production and transport.
- 48:22Speaker 5: And these aluminium bottles are forty percent lighter than the
- 48:24Speaker 5: glass equivalent and you can exchange it for ten cents
- 48:27Speaker 5: at a recycling center. I don't know. Is it going
- 48:31Speaker 5: to take a little bit of time to get wine
- 48:33Speaker 5: drinkers to move away from a glass bottle and instead
- 48:36Speaker 5: drink out of aluminium.
- 48:37Speaker 2: Something about it just doesn't seem right.
- 48:39Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree, but there's something to the glass with
- 48:43Speaker 4: like keeping it air tight sealed. The way you store
- 48:48Speaker 4: wine makes a difference indeed, So how will this impact
- 48:51Speaker 4: the flavor?
- 48:51Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 48:52Speaker 1: There's an argument though that it could actually be better
- 48:54Speaker 1: because there's no light getting in, So if you're storing
- 48:56Speaker 1: long term, maybe it would be I haven't looked into
- 48:59Speaker 1: the specifics of what I mean he does to wine
- 49:01Speaker 1: over the long term, but I don't know. You can
- 49:03Speaker 1: get wine in a can now just doesn't seem quite right.
- 49:06Speaker 1: To me, I'm going home to have wine out of
- 49:08Speaker 1: a glass firal. Thank you very much, thanks for watching
- 49:11Speaker 1: NIXT to me, depending on the show.
- 49:12Speaker 3: With that
