- 0:01Speaker 1: Lone from the skying New Center. This is the Kenny Report.
- 0:06Speaker 2: Thanks for joining me tonight.
- 0:07Speaker 3: The ABC and fake News, the taxpayer funded broadcaster caught
- 0:12Speaker 3: out yet again as it remains in denial about its
- 0:16Speaker 3: anti Trump narrative and tricky editing of the President's speech.
- 0:21Speaker 2: Kristen Tate will give us a view on all this
- 0:23Speaker 2: from the US.
- 0:24Speaker 3: We'll pay our respects on Remembrance Day and the dismissal
- 0:29Speaker 3: fifty years on. Could we ever see the governor General
- 0:32Speaker 3: step in again to break a political deadlock? Tomorrow is
- 0:36Speaker 3: d Day for the Liberals climate and energy policy too.
- 0:39Speaker 3: I'll check in with Kevin Hogan plus Tim Blair, Susi
- 0:42Speaker 3: O'Brien and St.
- 0:44Speaker 2: Stephen Senna Tiempo. Let's get into it.
- 0:50Speaker 3: Remembrance Day has been commemorated right around the country. It
- 0:54Speaker 3: remains a special day remembering when the guns fell silent
- 0:58Speaker 3: in the Great War, a day of mourning, one of gratitude,
- 1:03Speaker 3: and one to consider the sacrifice we must pay and
- 1:06Speaker 3: the determination we must always find to secure peace.
- 1:12Speaker 2: Too many have died for peace in too many wars.
- 1:15Speaker 2: Too many have.
- 1:16Speaker 3: Had to serve, my grandfather among them, but will be
- 1:20Speaker 3: forever grateful. We mustn't waste their efforts nor sully their sacrifice.
- 1:27Speaker 3: We will remember them. The other great anniversary today is
- 1:35Speaker 3: the dismissal. It's now fifty years since that momentous political conflagration,
- 1:41Speaker 3: and the wounds still run deep. The Labor Party, which
- 1:45Speaker 3: on every other day and in every other political battle,
- 1:48Speaker 3: adopts the ethos of whatever it takes. Well, remember they
- 1:53Speaker 3: formed government by cajoling two former Conservatives just fifteen years ago,
- 2:00Speaker 3: likes to cry foul forever over the dismissal. Anthony Albnezi
- 2:05Speaker 3: certainly is maintaining the rage.
- 2:08Speaker 4: Make no mistake, November the eleventh, nineteen seventy five was
- 2:14Speaker 4: not a constitutional crisis. It was a partisan political ambush.
- 2:20Speaker 4: The dismissal was a calculated plot hatched by conservative forces
- 2:25Speaker 4: which sacrifice conventions and institutions in the pursuit of power.
- 2:31Speaker 2: This is nonsense, of course.
- 2:33Speaker 3: Yes it was tough politics, Yes the coalition was blocking supply.
- 2:38Speaker 3: But as Liberal MP and constitutional lawyer Julian Lisa has
- 2:41Speaker 3: pointed out today, Labor tried the same tactic time and
- 2:46Speaker 3: time again. In the end, there needs to be a
- 2:49Speaker 3: reserve power. Sure, we don't want it used willy nilly,
- 2:53Speaker 3: But eventually, if there's a stalemate, there must be a
- 2:57Speaker 3: way to break it. Sir John Kerb he might have
- 3:00Speaker 3: incurred the wrath of labor forever, and he might have
- 3:04Speaker 3: ensured that Gough Whitlam became a labor martyr, but no
- 3:08Speaker 3: one can argue he did not have the power, and
- 3:11Speaker 3: no one can argue.
- 3:12Speaker 2: That power does not still exist.
- 3:16Speaker 3: In tonight's Sky News documentary The Dismissal fifty years on,
- 3:21Speaker 3: the current Governor General dares to ponder the possibility of
- 3:26Speaker 3: history repeating itself, And.
- 3:28Speaker 5: I would never say never. One of the beauties of
- 3:31Speaker 5: our constitutional arrangements and the reserve powers is that they
- 3:34Speaker 5: are there and available to be affected by the Governor
- 3:37Speaker 5: journal in the interesting stability of the nation. So I'm
- 3:41Speaker 5: not going to say that it would never happen. But
- 3:43Speaker 5: the fact that we're discussing it fifty years later, when
- 3:46Speaker 5: this event will be marked by that fiftieth anniversary, I
- 3:49Speaker 5: think tells us that we will not be in this
- 3:51Speaker 5: position where a Governor General will be sitting across from
- 3:54Speaker 5: a sitting Prime Minister and effectively using the dismissal power.
- 3:58Speaker 3: Now, that would seem to be a wise and honest
- 4:01Speaker 3: and cautious answer.
- 4:03Speaker 2: Although the Governor.
- 4:04Speaker 3: General has had to clear up other comments where she
- 4:07Speaker 3: said she wouldn't do what Kerr did. The King's representative
- 4:11Speaker 3: now has clarified that she will uphold the conventions of
- 4:15Speaker 3: the Constitution.
- 4:17Speaker 2: The Governor General's power does exist.
- 4:19Speaker 3: Its very existence should help ensure it's seldom used, but
- 4:24Speaker 3: there it is. And the country's pre eminent political historian,
- 4:28Speaker 3: Paul Kelly, who was in the thick of the action
- 4:31Speaker 3: as a reporter at the time, has a pretty good
- 4:34Speaker 3: take on factors that would likely preclude another dismissal.
- 4:40Speaker 6: I don't believe it will ever happen again. The curve
- 4:43Speaker 6: form of dismissal of Whitlam is now the anti model.
- 4:46Speaker 6: No governor General will ever do that again. The second
- 4:49Speaker 6: reason I say it won't happen again is Whitlam and Fraser.
- 4:53Speaker 6: These were gigantic figures from another age. They were prepared
- 4:58Speaker 6: to smash convention, to seek their own gain, to uphold
- 5:02Speaker 6: their own principles.
- 5:03Speaker 1: Politics is different now.
- 5:05Speaker 6: I mean Susan Lee and Anthony Albanezi are are not
- 5:09Speaker 6: chooseled from those sort of stones.
- 5:13Speaker 3: Yeah, fair enough, but there will be more political hard
- 5:17Speaker 3: men and hard women.
- 5:18Speaker 2: In the future.
- 5:20Speaker 3: There is one point that too few people add to
- 5:23Speaker 3: any conversation about the dismissal, and that is the ultimate outcome.
- 5:29Speaker 3: Malcolm Fraser was of course installed as a caretaker prime minister.
- 5:33Speaker 3: An election was called immediately. As befits a democracy, the
- 5:39Speaker 3: decision about who would form government was given back to
- 5:42Speaker 3: the people.
- 5:44Speaker 7: Both leaders based large and noisy public rallies, but the
- 5:48Speaker 7: voters had had enough of the Whitlam experiment, the coalition
- 5:51Speaker 7: winning a fifty five seat majority and almost fifty six
- 5:55Speaker 7: percent of the two party preferred vote.
- 5:58Speaker 3: Yeah, the people spoke and their verdict was decisively against Whitlam.
- 6:05Speaker 3: The dismissal might have sent him to the polls, but
- 6:08Speaker 3: it was the voters who dispensed with Gough Whitlam, and
- 6:12Speaker 3: they had few regrets.
- 6:17Speaker 2: The ABC has been at it again.
- 6:19Speaker 3: They have been caught out again faking a picture, creating
- 6:25Speaker 3: a false impression.
- 6:27Speaker 2: They say it was all an accident.
- 6:30Speaker 3: But why do all the ABC's accidents seem to attack right,
- 6:33Speaker 3: have sent to politicians and causes and favor a green
- 6:37Speaker 3: left agenda. Have a look at this latest bit of
- 6:41Speaker 3: dodgy ABC journalism.
- 6:44Speaker 8: On Wednesday, liberal MPs will gather here in Canberra to
- 6:47Speaker 8: thrash this out. The Federal Coalition has again made it
- 6:54Speaker 8: self the story.
- 6:56Speaker 3: Note the newspaper in the hands of Liberal sen Jane Hume.
- 7:01Speaker 3: It's a front page of The Australian that never existed,
- 7:06Speaker 3: a concocted image to pretend that Hume was irked by
- 7:11Speaker 3: her own leadership. You could not make this stuff up.
- 7:16Speaker 2: Well, actually you could.
- 7:18Speaker 3: The ABC did, because this is the real front page
- 7:23Speaker 3: one exposing Labour's failings over the cost of living, swapped
- 7:27Speaker 3: out for a fake picture to mock the coalition. The
- 7:32Speaker 3: ABC at least has admitted to this fabrication. How could
- 7:36Speaker 3: they not? They say it was an attempt at satire.
- 7:41Speaker 3: They took the photograph and they superimposed it onto the
- 7:44Speaker 3: front page deliberately. It was done to match the line
- 7:48Speaker 3: about the Coalition making itself the story.
- 7:51Speaker 2: Again, they say, and it was attempting to.
- 7:54Speaker 3: Be humorous, but changing the image was actually misleading and inaccurate.
- 8:00Speaker 3: And they've apologized to Senator Hume. Well that's the least
- 8:06Speaker 3: of it. What about apologizing to viewers who were fed
- 8:10Speaker 3: this deliberate fake news. What about apologizing to taxpayers who
- 8:16Speaker 3: can't cough up more than a billion dollars a year
- 8:19Speaker 3: for this undergraduate manipulation.
- 8:22Speaker 2: And what about respecting your.
- 8:24Speaker 3: Obligation to produce news, not play around with satire instead.
- 8:30Speaker 2: That's another weird thing about the ABC, don't you.
- 8:32Speaker 3: Think a lot of their news and political types try
- 8:34Speaker 3: to be funny while their comedians try to preach serious
- 8:38Speaker 3: lefty politics. Meanwhile, the fallout continues from the tricky editing
- 8:44Speaker 3: that the ABC's Four Corners program used to try to
- 8:47Speaker 3: suggest President Donald Trump encouraged the Capitol Hill riots.
- 8:52Speaker 2: On January the sixth, twenty twenty one. We revealed the
- 8:55Speaker 2: deception last night. Have a look.
- 8:58Speaker 9: Now, it is up to to confront this egregious assault
- 9:03Speaker 9: on our democracy.
- 9:05Speaker 10: And after this, we're gonna walk down, and I'll be
- 9:07Speaker 10: there with you. Because you'll never take back our country
- 9:14Speaker 10: with weakness.
- 9:15Speaker 1: You have to show strength and you have to be strong.
- 9:18Speaker 9: Now it is up to Congress to confront this egregious
- 9:22Speaker 9: assault on our democracy.
- 9:24Speaker 10: And after this, we're going to walk down, and I'll
- 9:27Speaker 10: be there with you. We're going to walk down. We're
- 9:31Speaker 10: going to walk down anyone you want, but I think
- 9:35Speaker 10: right here, we're going to walk down to the Capital.
- 9:41Speaker 9: And we're going to cheer on our brave senators and
- 9:45Speaker 9: congressmen and women, and we're probably not going to be
- 9:49Speaker 9: cheering so much for some of them, because you'll never
- 9:55Speaker 9: take back our country with weakness.
- 9:58Speaker 1: You have to show strength and you have to be strong.
- 10:01Speaker 3: Yeah, that was the Sarah Ferguson reports. She seems to
- 10:04Speaker 3: have an obsession with Trump conspiracies, and there are other
- 10:09Speaker 3: examples where various ABC programs selectively cut that speech and
- 10:13Speaker 3: the events of that day to push the narrative of
- 10:17Speaker 3: Trump as the instigator, fueling speculation of a looming Trump indictment.
- 10:24Speaker 1: We're going to walk down to the.
- 10:26Speaker 3: Capitol lengthy jail terms, is what's next for the convicted
- 10:30Speaker 3: Pride boys.
- 10:36Speaker 10: We fight, We fight like hell, and if you don't
- 10:39Speaker 10: fight like hell, you're.
- 10:41Speaker 1: Not going to have a country anymore. Yeah.
- 10:46Speaker 3: The anti Trump line from the ABC has been overwhelming
- 10:50Speaker 3: for years, and there is no doubt that its coverage
- 10:52Speaker 3: of January the sixth has tried to suggest the President
- 10:56Speaker 3: encouraged the violence, and the ABC has a effectively convicted
- 11:01Speaker 3: itself because of the way it's covered the BBC controversy.
- 11:06Speaker 3: Have a look at this from last night's Sydney Television News.
- 11:11Speaker 11: The BBC's director General Tim Davey and its news CEO
- 11:15Speaker 11: Deborah Turness resigned after criticism of the broadcast as editing
- 11:18Speaker 11: of a speech that Donald Trump delivered before protesters attacked
- 11:22Speaker 11: the US capital. Critics say it was misleading because it
- 11:26Speaker 11: cut out a section where mister Trump said he wanted
- 11:28Speaker 11: supporters to demonstrate peacefully.
- 11:31Speaker 3: Well, it's not critics who came to that conclusion, it's
- 11:35Speaker 3: anyone with eyes and ears, and it's the BBC themselves,
- 11:39Speaker 3: as the director General and newschief have both resigned over it.
- 11:43Speaker 3: And the bit that was removed is exactly the same
- 11:46Speaker 3: part of the speech that the ABC cut out. They
- 11:50Speaker 3: left out the same crucial parts of the speech because
- 11:54Speaker 3: they both wanted to create the same false impression. So
- 11:58Speaker 3: if the ABC says that about the BBC, it must
- 12:02Speaker 3: say the same about itself. And here's the ABC's report
- 12:06Speaker 3: from London today.
- 12:09Speaker 12: This is what he actually said.
- 12:10Speaker 1: We're going to walk down to the capital.
- 12:16Speaker 9: And we're going to cheer on our brave senators and
- 12:20Speaker 9: congressmen and women.
- 12:22Speaker 12: The internal memo found the editing gave the impression Donald
- 12:26Speaker 12: Trump was explicitly encouraging writers to attack the US capital
- 12:31Speaker 12: after his election defeat.
- 12:33Speaker 3: Again, that is exactly the same impression the ABC's editing
- 12:37Speaker 3: of the same speech and the same events.
- 12:40Speaker 2: Tried to create.
- 12:42Speaker 3: Yet while it reports on the BBC, the ABC doesn't
- 12:46Speaker 3: report its own transgressions. In fact, it tries to deny them.
- 12:52Speaker 3: Its Media Watch program ignored the BBC controversy last night.
- 12:56Speaker 3: Perhaps it's fearful of how it necessarily exposed as the
- 13:00Speaker 3: ABC's almost identical coverage, But the taxpayer funded broadcast that
- 13:07Speaker 3: will not be able to hide from this stuff forever.
- 13:13Speaker 3: Let's go now to liberal Senator Sarah Henderson, who joins
- 13:16Speaker 3: US in Melbourne. Sarah, former ABC journalist, you're also a
- 13:20Speaker 3: former shadow Communications minister. What is your view now of
- 13:26Speaker 3: what's been revealed about the ABC and another transgression today
- 13:30Speaker 3: in involving your colleague, Senator Jane human As I show
- 13:33Speaker 3: there yet more clips where that speech is cut up
- 13:36Speaker 3: to create that impression of Trump encouraging violence.
- 13:43Speaker 13: Well, Chris, good afternoon, and I'm really shocked about what
- 13:46Speaker 13: you have uncovered in relation to the Four Corners documentary
- 13:50Speaker 13: and the way in which President Trump's speech was improperly edited.
- 13:55Speaker 13: I think this is now so serious, because, of course
- 13:59Speaker 13: are a mind of one that the ABC has a
- 14:02Speaker 13: statutory obligation to report news and information impartially and accurately.
- 14:08Speaker 14: There have been too many.
- 14:09Speaker 13: Times when it has breached that obligation and I think
- 14:12Speaker 13: it's got so serious, Chris, that we need a Senate
- 14:16Speaker 13: inquiry into these really serious incidents, because at the end
- 14:20Speaker 13: of the day, Australians want to see the ABC deliver
- 14:23Speaker 13: the very highest standards of journalism and clearly that is
- 14:27Speaker 13: not happening.
- 14:28Speaker 3: Will you move for a Senate inquiry and will it
- 14:30Speaker 3: be specific into these instances or a broader inquiry.
- 14:38Speaker 13: Well, I'll work with my colleagues on the terms of reference,
- 14:40Speaker 13: but I will be pursuing a Senate select inquiry into
- 14:45Speaker 13: the obligation of the ABC to convey news and information
- 14:49Speaker 13: impartially and accurately. And for many years, Chris, I've been
- 14:53Speaker 13: prosecuting the case when the ABC has fallen short of
- 14:57Speaker 13: these standards, and again we saw it with Janehre.
- 15:00Speaker 14: I cannot believe that a flagship.
- 15:03Speaker 13: News and current affairs program like Insiders, has docted a
- 15:08Speaker 13: photograph of Jane holding up the front page of a
- 15:11Speaker 13: newspaper and then referred to this as being satire, as
- 15:16Speaker 13: if they're running a comedy program. I mean, this is extraordinary,
- 15:19Speaker 13: and it's a long way from when I worked at
- 15:21Speaker 13: the ABC, when we worked when I worked on a
- 15:25Speaker 13: current affairs program for the ABC, we took our obligations
- 15:28Speaker 13: very very seriously, and we've really seen standards slip in
- 15:33Speaker 13: some pretty serious ways, Chris, and that's why I will
- 15:36Speaker 13: be pursuing a Senate inquiry.
- 15:38Speaker 2: So what do you think the chances are of getting
- 15:40Speaker 2: it up.
- 15:44Speaker 14: Well, I don't have a lot of faith in the Greens.
- 15:46Speaker 13: They have continually failed to hold the ABC to account
- 15:51Speaker 13: when it does, of course, you know, undertake these sorts
- 15:56Speaker 13: of transgressions as we've seen time and time again, and
- 15:58Speaker 13: I don't have a lot of faith in the guvern
- 16:00Speaker 13: But frankly, I now think that because this is so
- 16:04Speaker 13: serious it involves the distortion of a speech by President Trump,
- 16:10Speaker 13: there have been very very serious consequences for the BBC.
- 16:14Speaker 13: The President is now threatening legal action against the BBC,
- 16:19Speaker 13: and I think for our relationship but with the United
- 16:23Speaker 13: States administration, it's really important we take this seriously. So
- 16:27Speaker 13: I'm really hoping that the government will provide the support
- 16:31Speaker 13: that we require.
- 16:32Speaker 14: To get a Senate inquiry up. This is, as I.
- 16:36Speaker 13: Say, a really serious incident, and the obligations on the
- 16:40Speaker 13: ABC to report impartially and accurately are also serious. But
- 16:44Speaker 13: too many times the other and easy government has failed
- 16:47Speaker 13: to hold the ABC to account when it's fallen short
- 16:50Speaker 13: of those very high standards. And that's why I think
- 16:53Speaker 13: a Senate inquiry is so important.
- 16:56Speaker 3: I want to go to the meeting that the Liberals
- 16:58Speaker 3: are holding in Canberra tomorrow to try and finalize a
- 17:01Speaker 3: climate and energy policy. One Member Phil Thompson was complaining
- 17:06Speaker 3: today about the timing.
- 17:08Speaker 2: Here he is today on Remembrance.
- 17:09Speaker 15: Day, on such an important day that I've now can't
- 17:14Speaker 15: spend it with loved ones, my friends, whose families of
- 17:18Speaker 15: my mates who have been killed in action, those have
- 17:20Speaker 15: lost the people most important, because I've got to get
- 17:23Speaker 15: on a bloody plane to fly back to Canberra to
- 17:25Speaker 15: talk about something that we should have resolved months ago.
- 17:28Speaker 15: I think it's I think it's really it's a big
- 17:30Speaker 15: kick in the guts mate, and it's a sad day
- 17:33Speaker 15: for me, but I'm hoping that we can resolve this.
- 17:37Speaker 15: Defense taught me one thing, be a team player, and
- 17:41Speaker 15: I don't think we've.
- 17:42Speaker 1: Seen that of late.
- 17:43Speaker 15: We've seen now people threatened to quit positions and throw
- 17:47Speaker 15: their toys out of the cot once again, the Liberal
- 17:49Speaker 15: Party talking about itself and to you know, those people
- 17:51Speaker 15: who want to threaten to quit, then quit. You're not
- 17:54Speaker 15: that important anyway. We need to get on with the job.
- 17:58Speaker 3: Phil Thompson there obviously an army veteran himself. We've got
- 18:02Speaker 3: to sympathize with him for having to leave those remembrance
- 18:04Speaker 3: to day events and head to camera for this event tomorrow.
- 18:08Speaker 3: But let's pick up on his point there Sarah about
- 18:10Speaker 3: how this should have been resolved months ago. It has
- 18:13Speaker 3: been dragging on. Are you confident it will be resolved tomorrow?
- 18:17Speaker 3: And is this position going to closely match the National's position,
- 18:20Speaker 3: because if there's divergence there, the coalition is and all
- 18:23Speaker 3: sorts of strife.
- 18:27Speaker 13: Well, Chris, I believe we are moving in the right
- 18:30Speaker 13: direction and that is to reject net zero in its entirety.
- 18:34Speaker 14: This is a disastrous policy.
- 18:36Speaker 13: Australians have seen the fruits of Labour's policies for the
- 18:40Speaker 13: last three years. Skyrocketing power prices, flatlining emissions. We're making
- 18:44Speaker 13: no difference to global emissions and of course families and
- 18:49Speaker 13: small businesses and manufacturers are suffering so enormously as a
- 18:54Speaker 13: result of these policies. So I am really hopeful that
- 18:57Speaker 13: we will reject net zero in its entirety. It's a
- 19:01Speaker 13: very economically and environmentally destructive policy, and I am very
- 19:06Speaker 13: pleased that we are coming together tomorrow. Of course, this
- 19:09Speaker 13: won't be resolved until there is a joint party room
- 19:12Speaker 13: meeting virtually being held on Sunday, so there's a few
- 19:16Speaker 13: days to go.
- 19:17Speaker 14: And I do I have.
- 19:18Speaker 13: To say, Chris, I do really empathize with those members
- 19:22Speaker 13: and senators, particularly the day before Remembrance Day when they've
- 19:25Speaker 13: got to leave those really important events to travel to Canberra.
- 19:29Speaker 14: Phil lives in Townsville. He's got a long way to travel.
- 19:32Speaker 13: I'm jumping on a plane tonight, so I was able
- 19:35Speaker 13: to attend a commemorative service today. But I do commend
- 19:40Speaker 13: Susan for bringing us all together. This could not drag
- 19:44Speaker 13: on any longer. We need a policy to show that
- 19:47Speaker 13: we are going to fight like tooth and nail for
- 19:50Speaker 13: the Australian people.
- 19:51Speaker 14: We've got to fight Labour's terrible, terrible.
- 19:54Speaker 13: Energy policies, and I am really pleased this is coming
- 19:57Speaker 13: to a head.
- 19:58Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us, Sarah.
- 20:00Speaker 3: I appreciate it, Senator Sarah Henderson, their liberal senator for Victoria.
- 20:05Speaker 3: We'll have more on this some interesting survey results when
- 20:08Speaker 3: it comes to net zero later in the program. I
- 20:11Speaker 3: want to catch up with Tim Blair now, though he
- 20:14Speaker 3: joins us from Western Victoria. Tim from the Daily Telegraph,
- 20:17Speaker 3: good to talk to you, mate. I love your column
- 20:20Speaker 3: picking up on the ABC's manipulative Actually you will writing
- 20:24Speaker 3: about the BBC's manipulative cutting and editing of Donald Trump's speech.
- 20:30Speaker 2: As I've shown, the ABC has done the same thing,
- 20:32Speaker 2: but rather brilliantly.
- 20:34Speaker 3: This triggered memory with you of a Simpsons episode where
- 20:39Speaker 3: Homer had been fitted up for a crime because of
- 20:42Speaker 3: the way they cut his interview.
- 20:44Speaker 16: Together.
- 20:45Speaker 3: Have a look at this snippet and keep an eye
- 20:47Speaker 3: on the clock in the top left hand corner.
- 20:49Speaker 1: It gives the game away.
- 20:51Speaker 17: There's somebody who had to take the babysitter home. Then
- 20:54Speaker 17: I noticed she was sitting on her do we can
- 20:56Speaker 17: like grabbers? Do we can oh thinking about her cab
- 21:01Speaker 17: and just to wish a tweet tweet tweek, we.
- 21:06Speaker 3: Need to put a clock in the corner of every
- 21:08Speaker 3: ABC and BBC interview.
- 21:10Speaker 18: Now, absolutely that was a joke, a joke about a program,
- 21:15Speaker 18: you know, a satirical program on The Simpsons called rock Bottom.
- 21:19Speaker 18: And that's thirty one years ago that that style of
- 21:22Speaker 18: editing was presented as a terrible, awful, unimaginably evil and
- 21:27Speaker 18: manipulative joke. And now the BBC and the ABC they've
- 21:31Speaker 18: literally hit rock Bottom crest. They're actually imitating a cartoonish
- 21:35Speaker 18: version version of evil. They've become a joke. And if
- 21:40Speaker 18: you want to really know the full extent of the joke,
- 21:42Speaker 18: you mentioned the clock in the background of the Simpsons clip. Well,
- 21:46Speaker 18: the editing there is occurring over what looks like forty
- 21:49Speaker 18: five minutes. With the BBC, it's more like an hour.
- 21:52Speaker 18: They were actually worse on the BBC than they were
- 21:55Speaker 18: in a cartoon show called rock Bottom.
- 21:57Speaker 3: Well, and the ABC called their program Downfall. You know,
- 22:01Speaker 3: the title of Hitler's the Downfall. So that's how they
- 22:05Speaker 3: kind of pigeonhole. Donald Trump, I want to take all
- 22:10Speaker 3: of us our minds, are yours mind and the viewers'
- 22:12Speaker 3: minds across to Brazil and Cop thirty is underway, And
- 22:17Speaker 3: if your relaxed and comfortable about your existence on this planet.
- 22:21Speaker 3: The alarm us over there all shake you out of it.
- 22:23Speaker 2: Have a look at this.
- 22:25Speaker 19: Not one single nation among you can afford this. As
- 22:29Speaker 19: climate disasters rip double digits off GDP to falter once
- 22:37Speaker 19: mega drafts wreck national harvests, sending food prices soaring, makes
- 22:44Speaker 19: zero sense economically or politically to squabble while famines take hold,
- 22:53Speaker 19: forcing millions to flee their homelands. This will never be forgotten.
- 23:00Speaker 19: Conflicts spreads well, climate disasters decimate the lives of millions
- 23:06Speaker 19: when we already have the solutions. This will never ever
- 23:11Speaker 19: be forgiven.
- 23:13Speaker 3: The usual United Nations alarmism. He started off by saying,
- 23:17Speaker 3: none of you can afford this. If it'd stopped.
- 23:19Speaker 2: There, he would have been right.
- 23:20Speaker 3: But all this alarmism about catastrophes and millions fleeing when.
- 23:25Speaker 2: All the data.
- 23:26Speaker 3: Shows there is less of a human toll from natural
- 23:31Speaker 3: disasters now than at any time in history.
- 23:35Speaker 18: CO two is plant food harvests are huge. We've had
- 23:38Speaker 18: record bounties in grain crops for many years now. And
- 23:43Speaker 18: as far as that bloke's performance, I kind of preferred
- 23:47Speaker 18: Greta Thunberg. She sold it more. And he did try
- 23:51Speaker 18: to rev it up. He tried to get the passion going,
- 23:53Speaker 18: but in the end he's just thinking, you know what
- 23:56Speaker 18: will I have for my third course tonight at the
- 23:58Speaker 18: big COP banquet? And by the way, this is what's
- 24:01Speaker 18: the next COP I think is a it's headed towards
- 24:04Speaker 18: Adelaide next year. If all go as well, and I'll
- 24:06Speaker 18: see you there, Chris, that'll be a hell of edication.
- 24:08Speaker 2: I just hope they get it.
- 24:10Speaker 1: I hope they get it.
- 24:11Speaker 3: But it's looking like Australia is going to miss out.
- 24:13Speaker 3: But if that happens in Adelaide, that surely will be
- 24:16Speaker 3: the turning point in this nation and its attitude towards
- 24:20Speaker 3: these things. Because if you see this up close, you
- 24:22Speaker 3: will not believe the hypocrisy. In fact, I want to
- 24:25Speaker 3: show you mentioned food and steak sandwich. These are the
- 24:29Speaker 3: people who are trying to tell us that in order
- 24:31Speaker 3: to save the.
- 24:31Speaker 2: Planet, we should eat lettuce and insects.
- 24:35Speaker 3: Look what they're lining up for in the cafeterias at
- 24:37Speaker 3: the COP meeting in Brazil.
- 24:39Speaker 6: We're at the COP conference and Berlin, and we're with
- 24:43Speaker 6: a lot of people that are.
- 24:44Speaker 1: At lunchtime on to get some lunch and looking.
- 24:48Speaker 20: For food and what is the favorite in this particular area.
- 24:51Speaker 3: Ah, burgers and shakes. And presume probably there's no electric
- 25:01Speaker 3: shake makers. You have to get one of those bicycle
- 25:03Speaker 3: ones to turn the whizzer and the shake maker.
- 25:07Speaker 18: Can you imagine how they're going to cash in Oudelaide.
- 25:10Speaker 18: All the very fine eateries, the boutique wineries and so on.
- 25:15Speaker 18: Everyone's going to be swarming down from the hills to
- 25:17Speaker 18: sell some of the most delicious food to these fat
- 25:20Speaker 18: idiots where they're going to get up on stage and
- 25:21Speaker 18: complain that the world's ending. It's going to be fantastic.
- 25:24Speaker 18: Can't wait for it.
- 25:25Speaker 2: It's brilliant stuff. Thanks for joining us, Tim Tim Blair
- 25:28Speaker 2: there you.
- 25:28Speaker 3: Can read his stuff in the Daidy Telegraph click onto
- 25:31Speaker 3: it online right around the country. After the break, we're
- 25:34Speaker 3: going to catch up with Christen Tate in the US
- 25:36Speaker 3: and find out about Donald Trump threatening legal action against
- 25:39Speaker 3: the BBC. Now in the US, the Senator has finally
- 25:47Speaker 3: approved the deal to end the shutdown.
- 25:50Speaker 2: Thank goodness. These things are so boring.
- 25:53Speaker 3: They drag on cause inconvenience, so counterproductive, and they usually
- 25:57Speaker 3: end like this. But the other major talking point in
- 26:01Speaker 3: the US, of course, has been Donald Trump's threat to
- 26:03Speaker 3: sue the BBC. Now, after that Panorama program edited up
- 26:07Speaker 3: is generally the sixth speech, trying to fit him up
- 26:09Speaker 3: as encouraging violence that followed down there at those riots
- 26:13Speaker 3: a capital. Well, here's a reminder of what the BBC
- 26:16Speaker 3: put to wear.
- 26:18Speaker 10: We're going to walk down to the Capitol and I'll
- 26:21Speaker 10: be there with you, and we fight.
- 26:25Speaker 1: We fight like hell. We're going to walk down to
- 26:28Speaker 1: the Capitol.
- 26:32Speaker 9: And we're going to cheer on our brave senators and
- 26:36Speaker 9: congressmen and women.
- 26:38Speaker 3: Now, this sort of egregious editing and misleading, misleading media
- 26:42Speaker 3: coverage doesn't really surprise a lot of us. But as
- 26:44Speaker 3: I put to our US contributor Christen Tate, Donald Trump
- 26:48Speaker 3: certainly won't be taking this lying down.
- 26:51Speaker 21: Good for him.
- 26:52Speaker 22: I mean, this was broadcast one week before the twenty
- 26:56Speaker 22: twenty four presidential election here in the United States. The
- 26:59Speaker 22: BBC did this intentionally. They took out the parts of
- 27:03Speaker 22: Trump's speech from January sixth, twenty twenty one, where he
- 27:07Speaker 22: repeatedly said for his protesters to be peaceful.
- 27:12Speaker 21: It's absolutely deceptive editing.
- 27:14Speaker 22: This potentially reached tens of millions of people on all
- 27:17Speaker 22: of the BBC's various platforms, and they are right to
- 27:21Speaker 22: be called out by Trump. Some higher ups that the
- 27:24Speaker 22: BBC have already stepped down over this controversy. And look,
- 27:27Speaker 22: you know, Chris, it's okay to have an opinion. That's fine.
- 27:30Speaker 22: It happens all the time on TV. What's not okay
- 27:33Speaker 22: is to disguise an opinion.
- 27:35Speaker 21: As hard news. You know what that is. That is actually.
- 27:39Speaker 22: Trying to interfere with an election, which is exactly what
- 27:43Speaker 22: this was.
- 27:44Speaker 21: And good on Trump for calling them out. I hope
- 27:46Speaker 21: they pay up.
- 27:47Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 27:47Speaker 3: Now, when I saw all this, I went back and
- 27:49Speaker 3: had a look at our own publicly funded broadcaster here,
- 27:53Speaker 3: the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, and looked at their coverage and
- 27:58Speaker 3: sure enough they had use some sneaky, tricky, deceptive adits
- 28:03Speaker 3: from the very same speech.
- 28:04Speaker 1: Have a look.
- 28:05Speaker 9: Now, it is up to Congress to confront this egregious
- 28:09Speaker 9: assault on our democracy.
- 28:11Speaker 1: And after this, we're going to walk.
- 28:13Speaker 10: Down, and I'll be there with you, because you'll never
- 28:19Speaker 10: take back our country with weakness.
- 28:22Speaker 1: You have to show strength and you have to be strong.
- 28:25Speaker 9: Now it is up to Congress to confront this egregious
- 28:29Speaker 9: assault on our democracy.
- 28:31Speaker 10: And after this, we're going to walk down and I'll
- 28:34Speaker 10: be there with you. We're going to walk down. We're
- 28:38Speaker 10: going to walk down anyone you want. But I think
- 28:41Speaker 10: right here, we're going to walk down to the capital.
- 28:47Speaker 9: And we're going to cheer on our brave senators and
- 28:52Speaker 9: congressmen and women. And we're probably not going to be
- 28:55Speaker 9: cheering so much for some of them, because you'll never
- 29:02Speaker 9: take back our country with weakness.
- 29:04Speaker 1: You have to show strength, and you have to be
- 29:06Speaker 1: strong Kristin.
- 29:09Speaker 2: It's the same edit.
- 29:10Speaker 3: They take out what he's suggesting to go down there
- 29:13Speaker 3: and cheer on your senators and congress people. They want
- 29:17Speaker 3: to make it sound like he's cheering for violence.
- 29:21Speaker 21: That's exactly right.
- 29:23Speaker 22: But you know what, you know what the good news is,
- 29:25Speaker 22: so many good people around the world know what's going
- 29:29Speaker 22: on now. The liberal media has been exposed, and it's
- 29:32Speaker 22: so exciting to see Donald Trump, the first Republican president
- 29:35Speaker 22: here in the United States since probably Reagan, with a
- 29:38Speaker 22: real spine. He's challenging the Democrats, he's challenging the Washington Swamp,
- 29:43Speaker 22: he's taking on the entire media. He's doing all of
- 29:46Speaker 22: this at once. And I'll add this thing. He's gotten
- 29:48Speaker 22: into it the BBC. This is not the first time
- 29:51Speaker 22: he's fought back against this kind of deceptive editing. ABC
- 29:54Speaker 22: News paid him fifteen million dollars earlier this year for
- 29:57Speaker 22: another incident where they edited some thing out of context.
- 30:02Speaker 22: The CBS News here in the US, they right before
- 30:05Speaker 22: the election edited a Kamala Harris interview where they completely
- 30:09Speaker 22: cut down her word salads to make her sound somewhat coherent.
- 30:12Speaker 22: They ended up paying sixteen million dollars to Trump's presidential
- 30:16Speaker 22: library because he sued them.
- 30:18Speaker 21: So I love that he's fighting back.
- 30:20Speaker 22: But all of these liberal media outlets, nobody trusts them anymore.
- 30:25Speaker 22: At this point, they should honestly just be shut down
- 30:27Speaker 22: and turned into some sort of propaganda museum for people
- 30:32Speaker 22: to see the progression of liberal bias.
- 30:34Speaker 21: It's like the Soviets. It's just interesting.
- 30:37Speaker 3: It's probably better in the US, but they dominated in
- 30:40Speaker 3: Australia because we have this government funded textpayer funded ABC
- 30:44Speaker 3: that tends to dominate, and a lot of the other
- 30:45Speaker 3: media is left wing, so that, as you alluded to before,
- 30:48Speaker 3: the most important parts of that speech on Janitor the sixth,
- 30:52Speaker 3: twenty twenty one were never broadcast. People have probably never
- 30:55Speaker 3: seen them in their news broadcast.
- 30:58Speaker 2: This is a clip here for instances. Have a look
- 31:00Speaker 2: at this.
- 31:01Speaker 9: I know that everyone here will soon be marching over
- 31:04Speaker 9: to the Capitol Building to peacefully and patriotically make your
- 31:09Speaker 9: voices heard.
- 31:12Speaker 3: Peaceful and patriotic the couple of woods that make sure
- 31:15Speaker 3: is never shared in the liberal media.
- 31:18Speaker 21: As you say, yeah, that's exactly right.
- 31:21Speaker 22: And there is really nothing wrong with Trump's speech when
- 31:24Speaker 22: you watch the whole thing. But it's possible to take
- 31:27Speaker 22: almost any speech any politician gives and make it seem
- 31:30Speaker 22: sort of nefarious when you caught out.
- 31:32Speaker 21: And splice little pieces of it together.
- 31:34Speaker 22: And that's exactly what these shameful media outlets have done.
- 31:38Speaker 2: Just shocking stuff.
- 31:39Speaker 3: Now, I've got to pick up on the former president
- 31:42Speaker 3: Joe Biden. He doesn't talk a lot these days. He's
- 31:45Speaker 3: living all that to Kamala Harris, but he's come out
- 31:48Speaker 3: with some pretty wild and wacky woods of life.
- 31:50Speaker 23: Have a look see what he's done to the west
- 31:53Speaker 23: east wind of the People's House White House. It's a
- 31:58Speaker 23: perfect symbol of his presidency. Trump was taking a record
- 32:02Speaker 23: ball not only the People's House, but to the Constitution.
- 32:07Speaker 1: Through the law to our very democracy.
- 32:10Speaker 23: Who in the hell does he think he is?
- 32:13Speaker 3: Kristen, Does this resonate with anybody in the US today.
- 32:17Speaker 21: No, absolutely not.
- 32:19Speaker 22: I just love hearing about Trump taking a wrecking ball
- 32:22Speaker 22: to democracy from the man whose own administration orchestrated law
- 32:27Speaker 22: fair against President Trump and the run up to the
- 32:29Speaker 22: last election, hoping to either jail or bankrupt him to
- 32:33Speaker 22: prevent him from being elected by the American people in
- 32:36Speaker 22: a democracy for a second term. We will not forget
- 32:40Speaker 22: the mugshot we saw Donald Trump because he was indicted
- 32:43Speaker 22: because of the Saled Fawnie Willis Rico case against him.
- 32:47Speaker 22: There was the Storm Daniel's hush money case. The New
- 32:51Speaker 22: York Attorney General, Letitia James, she went after him for
- 32:55Speaker 22: supposedly inflating his assets. All of these actions were taken
- 32:59Speaker 22: by Joe Biden's administration and his allies, the Democrats, in
- 33:03Speaker 22: order to consume time, focus, and money away from the
- 33:07Speaker 22: Trump campaign. And Donald Trump is himself the president. Donald
- 33:11Speaker 22: Trump spent so much of his time in a courthouse
- 33:13Speaker 22: he was practically having to campaign from there leading up
- 33:16Speaker 22: to the last election.
- 33:17Speaker 21: It's just laughable to hear Biden say this.
- 33:20Speaker 2: Joe Biden ord to get back to the beach where he.
- 33:22Speaker 3: Spent most of these presidency exactly.
- 33:26Speaker 22: Thanks you, Johnny, You're eating tapiocre pudding in a nursing home.
- 33:29Speaker 2: Thanks. Cheers, Kristen Ketcha next week, cheers Joe Biden coming
- 33:36Speaker 2: out swinging. Hi, give me a break Now. After this break, we're.
- 33:40Speaker 3: Going to check in on the Australian bid for that
- 33:43Speaker 3: Cop summit. Chris Bond's dream of having Cop thirty one
- 33:47Speaker 3: in Adelaide is already talk of a massive cost blowout.
- 33:55Speaker 3: Plenty of other issues we need to get into, so
- 33:57Speaker 3: let's catch up with the National's Deputy Leader Cam Hogan
- 34:00Speaker 3: and joins us from Liz Moore in northern New South Wales.
- 34:03Speaker 2: Good to talk to you, Kevin. Firstly on Remembrance Day.
- 34:07Speaker 3: A surprising speech today really by the departing National President
- 34:12Speaker 3: of the RSL, Greg Mellick, because on this day of
- 34:16Speaker 3: remembrance he really talked about complacency when it comes to
- 34:21Speaker 3: the nation's defense.
- 34:22Speaker 2: Have a look.
- 34:23Speaker 24: For many years, the RSL's Defense and Security Committee has
- 34:26Speaker 24: been agitating without apparent success, on the need to ensure
- 34:30Speaker 24: that we bolster out offense vending and significantly increase our
- 34:33Speaker 24: reserves especially in fuel and amunition. Otherwise, of future Remembrance
- 34:37Speaker 24: Day ceremonies, we may well regret the conflict we didn't deter.
- 34:41Speaker 2: Is he right, Kevin? Are we forgetting to be eternally vigilant?
- 34:47Speaker 20: Well, Chris, I don't think we can ever be too vigilant.
- 34:50Speaker 20: I was just recently one of the austrains we said,
- 34:53Speaker 20: two delegates, a government delegate and I was the opposition
- 34:55Speaker 20: delegate to a NATO summit in Slovenia about three or
- 34:58Speaker 20: four weeks ago. And Chris, I can tell you right
- 35:00Speaker 20: now that a lot of European countries, because of the
- 35:03Speaker 20: Ukraine Russian conflict, which is right on their doorstep, and
- 35:06Speaker 20: they have a history as we know that continent of conflicts,
- 35:09Speaker 20: are looking to increase their defense spending to up to
- 35:12Speaker 20: five percent. They see, they hear, they know the changes
- 35:15Speaker 20: that can happen. So they're certainly getting better prepared than
- 35:17Speaker 20: they were. And I don't think we can ever be
- 35:19Speaker 20: too vigilant or too prepared either.
- 35:22Speaker 3: Now we talked at the top of the program about
- 35:24Speaker 3: fifty years on from the dismissal and what the current
- 35:27Speaker 3: governor general tells us. In Chris Yelman's documentary tonight here
- 35:31Speaker 3: on Sky News at seven point thirty the dismissal fifty
- 35:35Speaker 3: years on.
- 35:35Speaker 5: Have a look, and I would never say never. One
- 35:39Speaker 5: of the beauties of our constitutional arrangements and the reserve
- 35:42Speaker 5: powers is that they are there and available to be
- 35:46Speaker 5: affected by the governor journal in the interesting stability of
- 35:49Speaker 5: the nation. So I'm not going to say it would
- 35:51Speaker 5: never happen. But the fact that we're discussing it fifty
- 35:54Speaker 5: years later, when this event will be marked by that
- 35:57Speaker 5: fiftieth anniversary, I think tells us that we will not
- 36:00Speaker 5: be in this position where a governor General will be
- 36:02Speaker 5: sitting across from a sitting Prime Minister and effectively using
- 36:06Speaker 5: the dismissible power.
- 36:08Speaker 3: So Kevin Hogan, sure everybody wants to think that this
- 36:12Speaker 3: power is not going to need to be exercised, but
- 36:16Speaker 3: there's unquestionably the power is there, right and if it's needed,
- 36:22Speaker 3: we need to be sure that a governor general woodblock
- 36:25Speaker 3: such a stalemate.
- 36:26Speaker 1: Surely.
- 36:29Speaker 20: Well, look, Chris, I've done a lot of political history
- 36:31Speaker 20: reading in my time. The Alfred Deacons, Henry Parks, the
- 36:34Speaker 20: forest from Western Australia. A lot of those people had
- 36:37Speaker 20: a lot to do with that constitution. These people were
- 36:39Speaker 20: brilliant and I think the constitution was very well drafted
- 36:42Speaker 20: or what it was at the time, so they saw
- 36:45Speaker 20: the need for this, and we will understand why you
- 36:47Speaker 20: see the need for this. But look, I add though, Chris,
- 36:49Speaker 20: I am an elected representative, and I'm very wary though that.
- 36:53Speaker 20: You know, an unelected representative needs to be very cautious
- 36:57Speaker 20: in using the power that they have, even as as
- 37:00Speaker 20: the governor general is, they are an unelected representative. So
- 37:03Speaker 20: look has happened once. A lot of debate about how
- 37:06Speaker 20: what happened there, As you alluded to early in your program,
- 37:08Speaker 20: Whitlam was ditched after that in Israel. Public was certainly
- 37:11Speaker 20: happy with the result of the election of that election,
- 37:15Speaker 20: but you know, they're not elected, should be very very
- 37:17Speaker 20: sparing only in extreme circumstances.
- 37:20Speaker 3: Indeed, now I just want to go to the climate
- 37:22Speaker 3: and energy debate. The Liberals will have their meeting tomorrow
- 37:26Speaker 3: that looks likely to resolve it. But I want to
- 37:29Speaker 3: talk about the COP thirty conference in Brazil.
- 37:32Speaker 2: Australia is still saying that they want.
- 37:34Speaker 3: To have the same talk fest here in Australia in
- 37:38Speaker 3: Adelaide next year, and there are new estimates out today.
- 37:42Speaker 3: We've talked about how this thing is going to cost
- 37:44Speaker 3: a billion dollars, which seems an extraordinary waste of taxpayers money,
- 37:49Speaker 3: but there are new estimates that suggest that could be
- 37:51Speaker 3: the bottom end, that actually could cost closer to two
- 37:55Speaker 3: billion dollars.
- 37:58Speaker 20: Yeah. Look, obviously we don't support this bid. Chris is
- 38:01Speaker 20: the opposition. We think it's a waste of money. We've
- 38:04Speaker 20: seen the average mortgage costs for an Australian family go
- 38:06Speaker 20: up twenty thousand dollars over the life of this labor government.
- 38:09Speaker 20: Electricity prices are up thirty to forty percent. We're getting
- 38:13Speaker 20: feedback now from food banks that, you know, double income families.
- 38:17Speaker 1: They're putting a lot.
- 38:17Speaker 20: There's a lot of pressure on food banks, unprecedented pressure.
- 38:20Speaker 20: People can't afford their grocery. So the Australian government has
- 38:23Speaker 20: a lot better things. They could spend a billion or
- 38:25Speaker 20: more than hosting a climate change conference. There's a lot
- 38:29Speaker 20: more priorities they should have and we do not support
- 38:31Speaker 20: the bid for this.
- 38:32Speaker 3: It seems incredible, man, thanks for joining us, Kevin Kevin Hogan,
- 38:34Speaker 3: they're joining us live from listen more. Yeah, a billion
- 38:37Speaker 3: dollars a year for misinformation from the ABC A billion
- 38:40Speaker 3: dollars or maybe two on.
- 38:42Speaker 2: A cop climate change conference. Talk about wasted and wrong priorities.
- 38:47Speaker 2: How about getting our power.
- 38:48Speaker 3: Prices down like you promised to. Now on the other
- 38:52Speaker 3: side of the break, we'll catch up with Susio O'Brien
- 38:54Speaker 3: and Stephen Senta Tiempa. One thing we'll talk about is
- 38:56Speaker 3: a little bit of sanity hitting the Olympic movement. Males
- 39:00Speaker 3: will not be able to compete as females.
- 39:07Speaker 2: Let's bringing the panel.
- 39:08Speaker 3: On our News Corps National Education Editor Susio o brien
- 39:11Speaker 3: joins us from Melbourne, the Wild Streets of Melbourne and
- 39:14Speaker 3: Radio two Double C Breakfast host Steven sena tempo in camera.
- 39:19Speaker 2: Let's talk a little bit about Canberra first, because.
- 39:22Speaker 3: The Liberals are going to try and try and sort
- 39:25Speaker 3: this out tomorrow, Stephen. They've only been at this for
- 39:28Speaker 3: twenty years, but you know, Phil Thompson today said that,
- 39:31Speaker 3: you know, they should have sorted this out months ago.
- 39:33Speaker 2: It should have been sorted out in about two thousand
- 39:36Speaker 2: and eight.
- 39:38Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 39:38Speaker 8: Yeah, Well, look, let's be a little bit generous and
- 39:41Speaker 8: say at least should have been sorted out just after
- 39:43Speaker 8: the election when they worked out that their policies weren't working.
- 39:47Speaker 8: But look, you know, it should be an absolute no brainer.
- 39:49Speaker 8: But I get the sense that the members of the
- 39:53Speaker 8: Liberal party room are afraid of the fact that they've
- 39:56Speaker 8: got nobody there with the ability to actually write decent
- 39:59Speaker 8: policy and write recent messaging. And I said this when
- 40:01Speaker 8: we spoke about this last week. It's all well and
- 40:03Speaker 8: good to come up with the right idea, but you've
- 40:05Speaker 8: actually got to be able to sell it to the
- 40:06Speaker 8: electric And unless you can say to them, your energy
- 40:09Speaker 8: prices are going up, we're not reducing emissions. The government
- 40:12Speaker 8: even admits that it can't meet its own targets, what
- 40:15Speaker 8: is the point of us following this same going down
- 40:17Speaker 8: this same rabbit hole. Well then what do you achieved?
- 40:20Speaker 8: But I mean, how many meetings and how many you know?
- 40:22Speaker 8: I mean they're flying into Camber, yes that we hear
- 40:24Speaker 8: last Friday and had a meeting, and they're flying back
- 40:27Speaker 8: on our expense tomorrow.
- 40:29Speaker 2: I mean, fair income.
- 40:30Speaker 3: It's the easiest argument in the world to make.
- 40:34Speaker 2: Because all the facts support it.
- 40:36Speaker 3: But the problem is you have moderate liberals, and most
- 40:39Speaker 3: moderate liberals never want to make an argument if anyone
- 40:41Speaker 3: argues against them. They say, oh, you're right, and they
- 40:44Speaker 3: roll over. It is pathetic, Susie. Before I come to you,
- 40:47Speaker 3: I just want to show you something rather ironic. Here's
- 40:49Speaker 3: a couple of Liberal MPs on the weekend building out
- 40:52Speaker 3: an in excess song and you'll never believe which one
- 40:56Speaker 3: they did is sing have a look.
- 40:59Speaker 1: At we can't make this summer.
- 41:03Speaker 8: On vocals.
- 41:07Speaker 14: National's MP Sam Burral.
- 41:16Speaker 19: On saxophone, Liberal MP.
- 41:19Speaker 2: Angie Bell, it's so funny.
- 41:25Speaker 3: Never tear us apart, not only for you. How are
- 41:36Speaker 3: they going to put them together tomorrow, Susie.
- 41:40Speaker 16: Burn for you, I think would be way more appropriate.
- 41:43Speaker 14: I'm an insisted of Barkle.
- 41:45Speaker 16: And they shouldn't still be talking about this, as you said,
- 41:48Speaker 16: like months and months after the election. And the problem
- 41:52Speaker 16: is it's taken so long now that net zero has
- 41:54Speaker 16: become kind of totemic amongst young people.
- 41:57Speaker 14: If you're going.
- 41:58Speaker 16: To do something about the environment, seen as the only
- 42:01Speaker 16: option might be a good option, but it's certainly not
- 42:03Speaker 16: the only option. And they need, as you said, to
- 42:06Speaker 16: be clever in their policy. They need to appeal to
- 42:09Speaker 16: younger voters in the city in order to win back
- 42:12Speaker 16: seats that they need in order to get into government,
- 42:15Speaker 16: not just the NAT's in the bush, and they need
- 42:17Speaker 16: to work out how they can do that without alienating
- 42:20Speaker 16: the right wing rump of the party. Good luck to them,
- 42:23Speaker 16: they're going to need every single minute of it.
- 42:25Speaker 3: Tomorrow Burn for you. You reckon would have been better.
- 42:29Speaker 3: You're going through the inexcess catalog now. I was thinking
- 42:31Speaker 3: about falling down the mountains, end up kissing dirt. There's
- 42:37Speaker 3: bound to be a hole that wasn't a midnight oil
- 42:39Speaker 3: song now, just related directly to this, I want to
- 42:44Speaker 3: look at a survey result that was published in The
- 42:47Speaker 3: Australian today and it says that fifty percent of Australians
- 42:52Speaker 3: believe that the renewable energy push is contributing to the
- 42:55Speaker 3: cost of their electricity. What I want to know is
- 42:58Speaker 3: how stupid the other fifty percent of the people on
- 43:02Speaker 3: the survey were. Stephen, because this is something that one
- 43:05Speaker 3: hundred percent of Australians should understand.
- 43:09Speaker 8: I was talking to an old mate today. He rang
- 43:11Speaker 8: me out of the blue. He runs a fairly substantial
- 43:13Speaker 8: club in outback New South Wales and he said it
- 43:16Speaker 8: costs one thousand dollars a day in electricity to run
- 43:19Speaker 8: it and he's thinking about bringing in a diesel generator
- 43:21Speaker 8: because it's going to be cheaper than paying for electricity.
- 43:23Speaker 8: I mean, that's where we're at. I mean, pig And
- 43:25Speaker 8: if people can't wake up to where we're at by
- 43:27Speaker 8: looking at their own electricity bill or just you know what,
- 43:29Speaker 8: going to your local cafe and so to the cafe
- 43:31Speaker 8: owner has electricity bill, looking at the moment and what's
- 43:34Speaker 8: the price of my coffee going to be next week?
- 43:36Speaker 8: That might wake some of these idiots up to it.
- 43:39Speaker 3: All right, fifty years on from the dismissal today, here's
- 43:42Speaker 3: those famous words off the cuff. They were from GoF
- 43:45Speaker 3: Whitlm on the steps of old Parliament House.
- 43:49Speaker 2: Well, may we say God save the Queen?
- 43:55Speaker 24: Well, because nothing we'll say with the Governor General.
- 44:03Speaker 3: Yes, memorable words, but of course completely fatuous in the end,
- 44:07Speaker 3: because the Governor General stuck around and Whitlam didn't. But
- 44:11Speaker 3: talk about maintaining the rage. Have I listened to albow
- 44:13Speaker 3: last night?
- 44:15Speaker 4: The dismissal was a calculated plot hatched by conservative forces
- 44:20Speaker 4: which sacrificed conventions and institutions in the pursuit of power,
- 44:26Speaker 4: and the result of the election that followed does not
- 44:28Speaker 4: wash away any of that.
- 44:31Speaker 2: Should Nolbo let it go?
- 44:33Speaker 16: Susie, Well, I mean it was at a constitutional crisis.
- 44:37Speaker 14: Was it a political plot? I mean, we've had fifty
- 44:40Speaker 14: years to work it out.
- 44:40Speaker 2: If people still can't decide.
- 44:43Speaker 16: I remember meeting GoF many years ago at Adelaide UNI
- 44:46Speaker 16: for getting I got twenty out of twenty for a
- 44:48Speaker 16: year twelve subject proud of that, and met Golf came
- 44:52Speaker 16: up to it. GoF came up to about his armpits,
- 44:55Speaker 16: looked up and said, thank you very.
- 44:56Speaker 14: Much for free education.
- 44:58Speaker 16: Of course, by that point it was late eighties we
- 45:01Speaker 16: didn't have free education anymore, but generations.
- 45:04Speaker 14: Of people did.
- 45:04Speaker 7: So.
- 45:05Speaker 16: Yeah, you know, his legacy is still very much alive.
- 45:09Speaker 3: And well, the funny thing is no one ever mentions
- 45:14Speaker 3: it was a labor government who started charging people for
- 45:16Speaker 3: going to university.
- 45:17Speaker 2: Again, that happened the Hork government. It was time Dawkins
- 45:22Speaker 2: in the Hawk government.
- 45:23Speaker 1: Yeah, labor are the ones who started.
- 45:24Speaker 2: Charging you go to UNI. So put that in your
- 45:27Speaker 2: pipe and smoke it.
- 45:28Speaker 1: Now.
- 45:28Speaker 3: Let's go to this outbreak of sanity from the Olympic
- 45:31Speaker 3: Movement to Stephen. They're finally saying that transgender females can't
- 45:35Speaker 3: compete against females in the Olympics. In other words, biological
- 45:39Speaker 3: males cannot compete against females. It's so obvious, it's such
- 45:45Speaker 3: common sense, but it's taken a while to get here.
- 45:48Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 45:49Speaker 8: I was going to correct you there and say, yeah,
- 45:50Speaker 8: that what they've done is ban men from competing in
- 45:52Speaker 8: women's sport, you know, I mean feeding, It's just it is,
- 45:56Speaker 8: as you say in No Brainer, it should be just
- 45:58Speaker 8: common sense that males are bigger, fitter, stronger than women
- 46:03Speaker 8: on equal terms, if you know, I mean that. Look,
- 46:05Speaker 8: there's probably women that could beat me in a boxing match,
- 46:07Speaker 8: but you know, when we're talking Olympic athletes, if you're
- 46:10Speaker 8: putting a bloke in the ring with a woman, somebody
- 46:12Speaker 8: is going to get hurt.
- 46:13Speaker 1: It's as simple as that.
- 46:14Speaker 2: We saw at the last Olympics.
- 46:15Speaker 8: And I can't believe that after the controversy we saw
- 46:18Speaker 8: in Paris, it's taken this long to actually come up
- 46:21Speaker 8: with this decision. But what it has taken is a
- 46:23Speaker 8: woman to take over the International Olympic Committee to actually
- 46:27Speaker 8: implement this. The blokes, well, they are okay with blokes
- 46:29Speaker 8: beating up women.
- 46:31Speaker 2: Bigger stronger, but not fitter. I would argue fitter is
- 46:35Speaker 2: a different.
- 46:36Speaker 3: In mind case here as someone who's I'm the only
- 46:38Speaker 3: male in an otherwise all female swim squad. This I
- 46:42Speaker 3: know very very well and just related to some of
- 46:45Speaker 3: this nonsense around language.
- 46:47Speaker 2: But language before I come to you, Suzio, is one.
- 46:50Speaker 3: That you've written about a famous example of where a
- 46:53Speaker 3: BBC presenter correctly raised their eyebrows at the language she
- 46:58Speaker 3: was asked to use.
- 46:59Speaker 2: Have a look.
- 47:00Speaker 25: London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine House released research
- 47:04Speaker 25: which says that nearly six hundred heat related deaths are
- 47:07Speaker 25: expected in the UK. Malcolm Mystery, who was involved in
- 47:11Speaker 25: the research, says that the aged, pregnant people, women and
- 47:16Speaker 25: those with pre existing health conditions need to take precautions.
- 47:21Speaker 3: Yeah, it were pregnant people, as she rightly says, pregnant women.
- 47:24Speaker 2: She got admoniged for that discipline for that, Susie.
- 47:29Speaker 21: Yeah, it was interesting they got.
- 47:30Speaker 16: BBC got four hundred complaints. Initially they were telling people
- 47:33Speaker 16: that she didn't mean to cause offence and it was,
- 47:36Speaker 16: you know.
- 47:36Speaker 14: Entirely just off the cuff.
- 47:38Speaker 16: But then twenty of those complaints escalated to the top
- 47:42Speaker 16: levels of the BBC and she got sanctioned.
- 47:45Speaker 21: They said that she.
- 47:46Speaker 16: Was holding these views to ridicule, and I think it's
- 47:49Speaker 16: absolutely absurd. I'm a mother of three and a woman,
- 47:52Speaker 16: and I'm quite happy to be known as a breastfeeding
- 47:56Speaker 16: woman many years ago. And look, I think you've trained
- 48:00Speaker 16: people want to be known as a chest feeder or
- 48:02Speaker 16: whatever it is, then they should be respected. I don't
- 48:05Speaker 16: have a problem with that, but catering to the minority
- 48:09Speaker 16: should not erase the identity of the majority. And both
- 48:12Speaker 16: of us, both sides, we should treat each other with respect.
- 48:15Speaker 16: But I don't see why I should be erased so
- 48:18Speaker 16: that a tiny, tiny proportion of biological men who are
- 48:23Speaker 16: now no hang a biological women who are now men
- 48:26Speaker 16: who can breastfeed to be accommodated.
- 48:28Speaker 14: I think that's ridiculous.
- 48:30Speaker 3: You've confused me, but I agree with you entire fats
- 48:32Speaker 3: for joining us.
- 48:33Speaker 2: Susie and Stephen, just quickly.
- 48:36Speaker 3: Some of your feedback on what I revealed last night
- 48:37Speaker 3: about the ABC. One viewer says is actually insane that
- 48:40Speaker 3: we pay for the ABC's biased agenda. Another viewer says
- 48:44Speaker 3: ABC should be made to publicly apologize and show the
- 48:47Speaker 3: correct edit, and someone else says it's time the ABC
- 48:50Speaker 3: was privatized and required to stand on its two own
- 48:53Speaker 3: two feet, and another says, keep it all up, keep
- 48:55Speaker 3: it going, Getty, don't stop exposing them.
- 48:58Speaker 2: I won't. He's played Credula
