Speaker 1: He's the bold reform it.
0:15
Speaker 2: Tonight, Donald Trump issues US President Joe Biden an invitation
0:18
Speaker 2: he doesn't dare accept as he fumbles yet again, this
0:22
Speaker 2: time at the Big Noto meeting.
0:26
Speaker 3: Let's do another debate this week so that sleepy Joe
0:29
Speaker 3: Biden can prove to everyone all over the world that
0:34
Speaker 3: he has what it takes to be president.
0:37
Speaker 2: Love to see that there's now blood in the water
0:40
Speaker 2: with a president clearly a mental decline. There were extraordinary
0:43
Speaker 2: scenes of the latest White House press conference that I'll
0:45
Speaker 2: show you also tonight. The craziest arts government grant I
0:49
Speaker 2: have ever seen. I challenge you to think of a
0:52
Speaker 2: worse one, and this when so many strands come and
0:55
Speaker 2: afford groceries, another sign of these crazy times. Check out
0:59
Speaker 2: the Lake just hiring for Channel seven's news service.
1:04
Speaker 4: Venus the Planet of Love and Money is making some
1:06
Speaker 4: final connections in Cancer before entering Leo on Friday. So
1:11
Speaker 4: here's what's ahead this week.
1:16
Speaker 2: And we'll ask you if the three day hour springs
1:18
Speaker 2: curfew will be extended and did the voice make the
1:23
Speaker 2: violence worse? Plenty more coming up to including a big
1:26
Speaker 2: rap for the most conservative labor premier in Australia elephant stamp.
1:30
Speaker 1: But first, a wild new global warming scheme.
1:36
Speaker 2: Now, the only thing about this one is that it
1:39
Speaker 2: punishes people silly enough and vain enough to think they're
1:41
Speaker 2: saving the planet by buying an electric car. It's a
1:45
Speaker 2: scheme that's generated headlines like this, could electric cars help
1:49
Speaker 2: prevent blackouts? When in fact the exact opposite seems more likely. Now,
1:53
Speaker 2: what's caused this excitement is a paper this week by
1:57
Speaker 2: an Australian National University in MRIC. Now their plan is
2:02
Speaker 2: fiendishly simple. How about saving our electricity system from blackouts
2:08
Speaker 2: by stealing the power in people's EV batteries and batteries
2:13
Speaker 2: of their electric cars. Let's steal that power from the
2:18
Speaker 2: batteries of electric cars exactly when there's some kind of calamity,
2:21
Speaker 2: you know, a big storm, maybe the knockdown power lines
2:24
Speaker 2: to stabilized the system.
2:26
Speaker 1: Or maybe a bush fire that might actually be desperate
2:29
Speaker 1: to flee you jumping the electric current.
2:33
Speaker 2: Now, this a and U study is based on a
2:36
Speaker 2: test three these academics did when storms knockdown power lines
2:42
Speaker 2: Victoria earlier this year, just when the state was really
2:44
Speaker 2: a really short of electricity because of a broken power generator.
2:47
Speaker 2: Wind farms also went offline. The system couldn't handle all
2:50
Speaker 2: the yo yoing and shut down parts of Melbourne. But
2:55
Speaker 2: up in Canberra sixteen electric cars trying to do this
3:00
Speaker 2: little bit to help.
3:02
Speaker 5: A new study has found evs could prevent power outages,
3:05
Speaker 5: spreading to tens of thousands of homes during emergency outages now.
3:10
Speaker 5: The report comes from the Australian National University and showed
3:13
Speaker 5: how a fleet of just sixteen evs charging across Canberra
3:17
Speaker 5: was able to rebalance the power during a major blackout
3:20
Speaker 5: in Melbourne earlier this year.
3:24
Speaker 2: Wow, the batteries of just sixteen cars could save Melbourne
3:28
Speaker 2: from a major blackout where they couldn't and they sure
3:30
Speaker 2: didn't ninety thousand homes that were without power, some for days.
3:34
Speaker 1: But such engineering ignorance.
3:36
Speaker 2: As many people these days cheering for an electricity system
3:39
Speaker 2: that's totally powered by wind and solar, they don't know
3:43
Speaker 2: how impossible that is either. Anyway, the lead author of
3:48
Speaker 2: that A and U paper is doctor Biorn Sternberg, and
3:52
Speaker 2: he said, well, actually no, these cars didn't produce that
3:55
Speaker 2: much electricity at all. But you know he has ways
3:58
Speaker 2: of turning this little six into making a real difference.
4:03
Speaker 6: We had sixteen electric vehicles plugged into the grid here
4:07
Speaker 6: in camera and officers or in garages of the Act government.
4:10
Speaker 6: They noticed this drop in power supply and within seconds
4:14
Speaker 6: started to discharge power to the grids. And now there's
4:17
Speaker 6: only sixteen vehicles. They provided a very modest amount of
4:20
Speaker 6: that power that needed to be found to rebalance the
4:24
Speaker 6: exit of the coal plants.
4:26
Speaker 1: But it's a sign of the.
4:27
Speaker 6: Future where we'll have many more electric vehicles that can
4:29
Speaker 6: do this.
4:31
Speaker 2: In fact, this paper says that if we will get
4:33
Speaker 2: one hundred and five thousand more of these cars responding
4:37
Speaker 2: in this way, they would fully cover the back up
4:40
Speaker 2: required for the whole of the Act and New South
4:43
Speaker 2: Wales for a short burst. Now, at the moment only
4:47
Speaker 2: Japanese evs can put electricity back into the system, but
4:50
Speaker 2: soonberg reckons this will actually returning the power will become
4:54
Speaker 2: a standard feature to save.
4:55
Speaker 1: An electricity system.
4:56
Speaker 7: Here.
4:57
Speaker 2: That's really so shonky that we're now paying big manufacturers
5:00
Speaker 2: to actually shut down when there's not enough power.
5:04
Speaker 1: So intriguing scheme until you apply this to the real world.
5:10
Speaker 2: I mean, say you there are huge bush fires and
5:12
Speaker 2: they knock out the electricity lines like the lines that
5:15
Speaker 2: went down and triggered Victoria's big blackout. Are your ev
5:18
Speaker 2: which you were charging at home is suddenly drained to
5:21
Speaker 2: save the electricity system and then the fires approach?
5:26
Speaker 1: What are you going to drive?
5:28
Speaker 2: Well, maybe storms have triggered another blackout like this one
5:30
Speaker 2: in Victoria this year. The government drains are EVA power.
5:33
Speaker 2: Maybe though it's not enough. There's still a blackout, And
5:36
Speaker 2: there you are with a car that won't move and
5:38
Speaker 2: nowhere to charge.
5:38
Speaker 1: It again, What are you going to drive? And whose
5:42
Speaker 1: car is this? Really? Is it yours? Or for the
5:44
Speaker 1: governments to pilfer? And what next? You know?
5:47
Speaker 2: Do they go around with the petrol cars they're exciphering
5:49
Speaker 2: the fuels from the tank or you're asleep? I mean,
5:53
Speaker 2: it's got to be an easier way to deal with
5:54
Speaker 2: our failing power system, surely. And the good news is
5:59
Speaker 2: Stillberg's paper accident accidentally hits on exactly that, and it's this,
6:05
Speaker 2: how about we just stop the Albanizer government's ruinous push
6:08
Speaker 2: to make us buy electric cars rather than petrol ones.
6:12
Speaker 2: Because he doesn't say this, but Stenberg notes the astonishing
6:16
Speaker 2: drain of electricity just from charging a few thousand electric.
6:20
Speaker 6: Cars, while power ended up being cut to ninety thousand
6:24
Speaker 6: customers in Melbourne. The equivalent of that would have been
6:27
Speaker 6: to cut power to stop electric vehicles charging, and you
6:31
Speaker 6: would only need six thousand electric vehicles to have the
6:33
Speaker 6: same effect.
6:36
Speaker 2: Wow, these six thousand cars are gobbling up that much
6:39
Speaker 2: of electricity already enough to power ninety thousand homes. But
6:45
Speaker 2: right now we have just under two hundred thousand evs
6:48
Speaker 2: on our roads. But worse, under the government's plans force
6:51
Speaker 2: us to buy even more.
6:54
Speaker 1: We should have anything up to two million.
6:56
Speaker 2: EV's by twenty thirty by some estlements. That's going to
7:01
Speaker 2: take a hell of a lot of electricity that we
7:03
Speaker 2: don't have. Isn't that going to make blackouts even more likely?
7:09
Speaker 2: And isn't using petrol cars? Doesn't that actually sound easier
7:13
Speaker 2: and more sensible in the meantime? Is petrol really that bad?
7:22
Speaker 2: Join me in culture Wars is Ron Dean The Spectator,
7:26
Speaker 2: Australian hosts of Outsiders on Sky News every Sunday at
7:29
Speaker 2: nine am. I never miss it.
7:31
Speaker 1: Rowan, do you like this idea of the government.
7:35
Speaker 2: Stepping in and draining the batteries of tens tens of
7:39
Speaker 2: thousands of electric cars to say, the electricity system it's
7:42
Speaker 2: ruined with its global warring policies from blacking.
7:45
Speaker 7: Out, what's okay, Andrew, because I've solved the problem as
7:51
Speaker 7: many people who have experiences of evs or electric vehicles
7:54
Speaker 7: has also solved the problem, and that is you have
7:56
Speaker 7: to have a diesel generator alongside your EV. You've got
8:00
Speaker 7: a diesel generator powering your electric vehicle. You can then
8:04
Speaker 7: use your electric electric vehicle to power the grid which
8:07
Speaker 7: is not working because it's powered by renewables. So the solution,
8:11
Speaker 7: as always comes back to fossil fuels. But what a joke, Andrew,
8:14
Speaker 7: I mean, seriously, the giveaway here is that the A ANDU,
8:18
Speaker 7: you know, once one of the great respected universities of
8:21
Speaker 7: the world, are spending their time tinkering around trying to
8:24
Speaker 7: figure out wasting time figuring out, oh, what do we
8:28
Speaker 7: do about the fact that renewables actually don't provide the
8:30
Speaker 7: amount of electricity we need going forward. The academics have
8:34
Speaker 7: realized that they're on to it, so they're tinkering around,
8:36
Speaker 7: going under the bonnet literally and stealing your electricity to
8:39
Speaker 7: hand it back. Because the governments who who are charged
8:42
Speaker 7: with the job of giving us all energy have completely
8:45
Speaker 7: comprehensively failed and will continue to fail as long as
8:48
Speaker 7: they are on this mad renewables quest. But the other giveaway, Andrew, is,
8:53
Speaker 7: of course, where does this study come from?
8:55
Speaker 8: Canbra?
8:56
Speaker 7: Now, what's the great thing about Canber. It doesn't actually
8:59
Speaker 7: prove douice and a thing. It has this world, this
9:03
Speaker 7: sea of money that it floats around, and there's endless
9:06
Speaker 7: money there, and they take this bit of money and
9:08
Speaker 7: that bit of money. They never actually produce anything. So
9:10
Speaker 7: the Canbra mindset is, it's all there, the electricity is
9:14
Speaker 7: all there, don't worry about generating.
9:16
Speaker 8: It's all there.
9:17
Speaker 7: Let's take it from this car and put it over there,
9:19
Speaker 7: or let's take it from this battery and put it
9:21
Speaker 7: over there, or let's take it from this dam up
9:23
Speaker 7: in the snow and put it down there. The energy
9:25
Speaker 7: is all there, let's just move it around. We don't
9:27
Speaker 7: actually ever generate it. And the joke is, as you
9:30
Speaker 7: brilliantly spelled out, can you imagine, I mean file this
9:33
Speaker 7: under the what could possibly go wrong basket? You've got
9:37
Speaker 7: a once in a five year emergency.
9:39
Speaker 8: That's what the that's what the academic told is you
9:42
Speaker 8: got your once in five year emergency.
9:43
Speaker 7: Who knows what it is? Could be a bushfire, could
9:45
Speaker 7: be a flood, could be an earthquake, who knows. And
9:48
Speaker 7: suddenly you're desperate to drive away and get out and
9:51
Speaker 7: get the family and their kids and head for the
9:54
Speaker 7: hills to escape whatever this virus or pandemic or whatever
9:58
Speaker 7: it is. And they can't want to get out of
10:01
Speaker 7: the garage because Chris bow And is niked or the
10:04
Speaker 7: energy to compensate for the fact that none of his
10:06
Speaker 7: renewable energy is providing the energy needed in these circumstances. Andrew,
10:11
Speaker 7: it's a huge joke, but it's philosophically, sorry you go, well.
10:17
Speaker 2: No, philosophically, let me get you on that one, because
10:20
Speaker 2: there's another aspect of this that only touched on there. Rowan, Now,
10:24
Speaker 2: I know they're talking about will there'll be exceptions, exemptions
10:27
Speaker 2: and all that kind of thing. I guess, you know,
10:29
Speaker 2: I don't know quite how to be built in, but
10:32
Speaker 2: the idea of governments treating your property, in this case,
10:36
Speaker 2: your car as their batterercisely.
10:40
Speaker 1: I mean, what what the hell? This is one way
10:43
Speaker 1: the whole global woman that's precisely we're all little lands
10:47
Speaker 1: in their colony.
10:50
Speaker 7: That's precisely the points. And we've always said, I've always
10:52
Speaker 7: said it's not a left right paradigm. It's the individual
10:55
Speaker 7: versus the collectivest mindset. Labor have the collectivest mindset where
10:58
Speaker 7: we're just bees or work drones or ants or whatever.
11:01
Speaker 8: The collective.
11:02
Speaker 7: The state owns everything. The state owns your car, owns
11:06
Speaker 7: your energy, owns your home. Don't worry, won't be long
11:09
Speaker 7: before they're draining electricity out of your home. I'm sure
11:11
Speaker 7: they figured out how to do that with smart meters
11:13
Speaker 7: or whatever else.
11:14
Speaker 9: It is.
11:14
Speaker 8: So they own you entirely, including your energy.
11:18
Speaker 7: You have no agency, no individuality. That is the collectivist
11:22
Speaker 7: labor mindset.
11:25
Speaker 2: Well, it goes further than that, Rowan. I'll once switch
11:28
Speaker 2: to another issue, but the same thing. Labor also thinks
11:31
Speaker 2: it owns the obedience of its MPs. If Labor decides something,
11:37
Speaker 2: you're a rat. If you break the you know, break
11:41
Speaker 2: out and speak your mind. And it's against the party lines.
11:43
Speaker 2: We saw that with Senator Fatima Payment quitting the Labor
11:47
Speaker 2: Party last week because it wouldn't let a vote for
11:49
Speaker 2: a Palestinian state right now. Now, I wish other labor
11:53
Speaker 2: inmps would also tell us what they really think, but
11:55
Speaker 2: about something important affecting Australians. And you take MP doctor
12:00
Speaker 2: Andrew Charlton. You've talked about him on your show Rising Star.
12:04
Speaker 2: Used to be Kevin Rudd's chief economics advisor, made a
12:08
Speaker 2: motza representing a working class suburb. Now in twenty eleven
12:12
Speaker 2: he've wrote a long sa nuclear power renewable, saying in Australia,
12:16
Speaker 2: the objective of transferring to one hundred percent renewable energy
12:19
Speaker 2: in the near future is.
12:20
Speaker 1: A pipe dream.
12:22
Speaker 2: Clean energy will cost vastly more than energy from fossil fuels,
12:26
Speaker 2: and nuclear is cheaper and more reliable than renewable energy.
12:31
Speaker 2: But Rowan, now that it's a labor MP, it's got
12:34
Speaker 2: to part the stupid party line against nuclear, against the
12:37
Speaker 2: Liberals plan for seven nuclear power plants. And here he
12:40
Speaker 2: is selling his soul.
12:42
Speaker 9: This is not a plan for Australia's energy transition. It's
12:46
Speaker 9: a plan to do nothing and maintain coal. The truth
12:50
Speaker 9: is that Peter Dutton has never been serious about climate change.
12:53
Speaker 9: This is a proposal to maintain coal for fifteen years plus.
13:00
Speaker 2: Family labor and piece do you think are forced to
13:02
Speaker 2: rubbish nuclear power when they know Australia needs it.
13:07
Speaker 7: Well, it's worse than that, Andrew. I mean, the hypocrisy
13:09
Speaker 7: is staggering. But why it is really bad is that
13:12
Speaker 7: Andrew Charlton wrote in his quarterly.
13:15
Speaker 8: Essay back in twenty eleven.
13:17
Speaker 7: I think it was he'd come back from the Copenhagen
13:20
Speaker 7: summit where Kevin Rudd had distinguished himself by calling our
13:24
Speaker 7: Chinese friends. Well, I can't repeat it on television, but
13:27
Speaker 7: he had some colorful language. Anyway, Andrew Charlton wrote a
13:31
Speaker 7: very good piece. He's a good writer. I put you
13:33
Speaker 7: in the room there with all the negotiations. But what
13:35
Speaker 7: he basically said was that he based his entire theory
13:39
Speaker 7: around something someone had said to him at the Copenhagen conference,
13:42
Speaker 7: which was that everybody in the world either wants to
13:44
Speaker 7: save the planet or wants to save themselves. And Andrew
13:47
Speaker 7: Child can argue that those people who want to save
13:49
Speaker 7: the planet are the wealthy kind of virtue signalers, and
13:52
Speaker 7: those who want to save themselves are the impoverished third
13:54
Speaker 7: world developing nations and so on. And the only way
13:58
Speaker 7: I could reconcile this was to have nuclear energy. And
14:01
Speaker 7: he recognized that renewables putting words in his mouth, but
14:05
Speaker 7: basically a luxury for the developed world to indulge. In
14:09
Speaker 7: the developing world, the vast majority billions of people around
14:13
Speaker 7: the planet nearly solid based power electricity, and the only
14:17
Speaker 7: way to give it to them cleanly was nuclear energy.
14:20
Speaker 7: So that same divide still exists. In fact, we need
14:23
Speaker 7: more energy now than before, there are more people on
14:26
Speaker 7: the planet.
14:26
Speaker 8: So the guy's a complete hypocrite because he was saying
14:29
Speaker 8: that correctly.
14:31
Speaker 7: Over a decade ago, that the only way to get
14:34
Speaker 7: clean energy and solve the problems and more energy required
14:39
Speaker 7: for prosperity was nuclear energy. So what a hypocrite He's
14:42
Speaker 7: done the exact same thing he's said alavor party and
14:44
Speaker 7: his reputation rather than the planet exactly.
14:48
Speaker 8: Nuclear power is it? You'll be honest enough to come
14:51
Speaker 8: up and say.
14:51
Speaker 2: It perfectly summed up, Ryan, perfectly summed up. Thank you
14:56
Speaker 2: so much for your time. Really appreciate that.
14:58
Speaker 1: Thanks so true.
15:01
Speaker 2: Now, how long do you think Joe Barden can keep
15:04
Speaker 2: up this fast? That is still mentally fit to be
15:07
Speaker 2: president of the world's most powerful nation to run against
15:10
Speaker 2: Donald Trump in the November election for US president is
15:14
Speaker 2: now so terrified of having another brain freeze like the
15:18
Speaker 2: one he had when he in his disastrous debate with
15:22
Speaker 2: Donald Trump. That is now reading out almost everything on AUTOQ.
15:26
Speaker 2: His glued to the auto Q, doesn't dare to lift
15:29
Speaker 2: his eyes from the auto Q. Look at this from
15:31
Speaker 2: the big NATO meeting over note, when Barden wanted to
15:34
Speaker 2: honor the outgoing NATO chief Jen's Stoltenberg but couldn't afford
15:40
Speaker 2: another verbal slip, didn't dare take his eyes off the
15:43
Speaker 2: autocue even when he called up Stoltenberg, shook his hand
15:47
Speaker 2: and talked about him, all while the man was standing
15:51
Speaker 2: right next to him.
15:53
Speaker 1: Souar, General Stoltenberg, where do you come for it?
16:00
Speaker 10: So much of the progress we made in the Alliance
16:02
Speaker 10: is thanks to the Secretary. He is a man of
16:04
Speaker 10: integrity and an intellectual rigor, calm temperament. Moment of crisis,
16:11
Speaker 10: consummate diplomat.
16:15
Speaker 2: Because it's just on the left one on the right
16:17
Speaker 2: one hardly days look at Stoltenberg and didn't. Meanwhile, Biden's
16:22
Speaker 2: White House spokesman was getting controlled by reporters, Biden having
16:27
Speaker 2: told Democrat politicians he just needed more sleep. You avoid
16:30
Speaker 2: work after eight pm, because it wasn't so sharp after
16:33
Speaker 2: eight He's sharpest before eight pm.
16:37
Speaker 6: So say that the Pentagon at some point picks up
16:40
Speaker 6: an incoming nuke, it's eleven pm.
16:43
Speaker 1: Who do you call the first lady?
16:46
Speaker 7: He has a team that lets him know of any
16:48
Speaker 7: of any news that is pertinent and important to the
16:51
Speaker 7: American people. He has someone or that is decided obviously
16:56
Speaker 7: with his National Security Council, and who gets to tell.
16:59
Speaker 2: Him that new Meanwhile, Donald Trump robbed it all in
17:03
Speaker 2: at the rally with this challenge which Joe Biden, in
17:07
Speaker 2: his state cannot afford to take up.
17:10
Speaker 11: I'm officially offering Joe the chance to redeem himself in
17:14
Speaker 11: front of.
17:15
Speaker 12: The entire world.
17:17
Speaker 3: Let's do another debate this week so that sleepy Joe
17:20
Speaker 3: Biden can prove to everyone all over the world.
17:24
Speaker 8: That he has what it takes to be president.
17:27
Speaker 3: But this time it will be manned to man, no moderators,
17:30
Speaker 3: no holes barred, Just name the place, anytime, anywhere.
17:37
Speaker 2: Nor will Biden follow up on the challenge he himself
17:40
Speaker 2: raised during the debate with Trump.
17:43
Speaker 11: Then the debate, Sleepy Joe also declared that he wanted
17:47
Speaker 11: to test his skills.
17:48
Speaker 3: And stamina against mine.
17:51
Speaker 1: On the golf course. Can you believe this? Did you
17:55
Speaker 1: ever see him swing?
17:56
Speaker 11: I'm also officially challenging Crooked Joe to an eighteen hold
18:01
Speaker 11: golf match right here.
18:02
Speaker 3: I will give him ten strokes aside, and if.
18:05
Speaker 11: He wins, I will give the charity of his choice,
18:08
Speaker 11: any charity that he wants, one million dollars.
18:17
Speaker 2: The ratings would be gang busters joining me A Cameron Milner,
18:20
Speaker 2: former chief of staff to Lady Leader Bill Shorten, now
18:23
Speaker 2: director of g XO Strategies, and James Ashby, chief of
18:27
Speaker 2: staff for One Nation Leader Senator Pauline Hansen. Cameron, there's
18:32
Speaker 2: no way that Joe Budden can agree to this debate
18:35
Speaker 2: probably any debate now is there?
18:38
Speaker 1: No? And unfortunately Joe's got to go.
18:41
Speaker 13: I mean, the sad thing watching a president in such
18:44
Speaker 13: mental mental decline is that you last week he froze
18:48
Speaker 13: in the debate. He was also a black woman or
18:50
Speaker 13: black president. This guy has to go, and he has
18:53
Speaker 13: to go because at this moment in history, we've got
18:55
Speaker 13: the war in Ukraine or in near strong US behind
18:58
Speaker 13: a strong NATO, we've got a Ran backed militia in
19:01
Speaker 13: who he is, the Hesbala and hamas still in operation.
19:04
Speaker 13: We need a strong US and quite frankly, Joe isn't
19:07
Speaker 13: up to it for the next four months, let alone
19:09
Speaker 13: the next four years. And what Jill Biden and the
19:11
Speaker 13: Democrats are doing is tantamount to elder abuse. Elder abuse
19:15
Speaker 13: Andrew because he shouldn't be there any longer. He should
19:17
Speaker 13: be in retirement enjoying his golden years.
19:22
Speaker 2: It's so true what you just said there cameraon. I mean, James,
19:26
Speaker 2: you know the people is listening to that are telling
19:29
Speaker 2: him to stay, people whose careers and even freedoms depend
19:33
Speaker 2: on it. I mean, like his son Hunter Barden, who's
19:37
Speaker 2: convicted criminal, is saying you stay as being a gatekeeper. Now,
19:41
Speaker 2: his wife Jill Barden, who's on the front pages of
19:44
Speaker 2: fashion magazines, and of course his staff.
19:50
Speaker 12: Joe Biden's really got a look about him that I've
19:53
Speaker 12: seen only in palliative care facilities. To be quite honest,
19:56
Speaker 12: especially when that mouth is open, it doesn't look like
19:59
Speaker 12: he's got his t and he's quite scary to look
20:02
Speaker 12: at it. He looks like he's death warmed up. The
20:04
Speaker 12: reality is Americans staring down the barrel of this next
20:07
Speaker 12: election in November. To put it into perspective, if he
20:11
Speaker 12: does another one of these debates, the fourteen billion dollars
20:16
Speaker 12: and I'll say that again, fourteen billion dollars that were
20:19
Speaker 12: spent on the last American election. They will not be
20:24
Speaker 12: spending that sort of money this time because the donors
20:26
Speaker 12: will dry up. And to put it into perspective here
20:29
Speaker 12: in Australia, the collective of the Australian federal political parties
20:35
Speaker 12: only spend about four hundred and eighteen million dollars, which
20:38
Speaker 12: is still a lot of money, but compared to the
20:40
Speaker 12: American elections where they're spending fourteen billion is just extraordinary.
20:44
Speaker 12: So I don't think those donations are going to come,
20:46
Speaker 12: particularly after his first attempt, but if he does line
20:49
Speaker 12: up for a second, they're bugging.
20:53
Speaker 2: Oh look, it's just dreadful. I mean, I'm laughing, but
20:56
Speaker 2: we this is actually quite serious. This guy is the
21:00
Speaker 2: fugative leader of the free world and that's what we've
21:03
Speaker 2: that's the guy leading the defense against China, Russia, et cetera.
21:07
Speaker 1: It's frightening. But talk about a lack of daring. Cameron,
21:10
Speaker 1: I was just astonished.
21:12
Speaker 2: You know, we had the Prime Minicy yesterday appointing a
21:15
Speaker 2: special Envoyd to tackle anti Semitism, you know, let loose
21:19
Speaker 2: by all these.
21:20
Speaker 1: This rabble on the streets.
21:22
Speaker 2: But he doesn't really, doesn't dare really tackle the pro
21:25
Speaker 2: palace in the extremists. When he's let these protesters stop
21:30
Speaker 2: him from using his own office, his own electoral office
21:35
Speaker 2: since January. This is an office in Sydney. He's never
21:38
Speaker 2: called the police on to them to clear them away,
21:40
Speaker 2: never got them to shut it down.
21:42
Speaker 1: What should he do?
21:47
Speaker 13: Well, clearly he should get law enforcement to act. I mean,
21:50
Speaker 13: we're not only dealing with his office being it's held
21:53
Speaker 13: hostage by by the Greens activists in his like Electric.
21:56
Speaker 13: You've got electric offices being vandalized, torched. You've got protests
22:01
Speaker 13: to the opera house where they yell gas the Jews,
22:03
Speaker 13: and the police stand by and let it all happen.
22:06
Speaker 13: Where's the law enforcement Andrew? I mean, during COVID and
22:08
Speaker 13: during the lockdowns, police were very happy to be heavy handed,
22:12
Speaker 13: pepper spray stomping on people, arresting people for simply having
22:15
Speaker 13: a democratic say about what was happening with the vaccines.
22:17
Speaker 13: They can do it when they're told to, but our
22:20
Speaker 13: political class let the Palestinians, the extremists go past, even
22:23
Speaker 13: though the police have got the ability, as we now know,
22:26
Speaker 13: to deal with these people in the heavy way, and
22:27
Speaker 13: they should.
22:30
Speaker 2: It's just extraordinary, James, What a signal it sends that
22:33
Speaker 2: we have let protests take over the streets so completely
22:38
Speaker 2: that the Prime Minister can't even use his own offers
22:42
Speaker 2: in his electorate.
22:46
Speaker 12: Well, when you think about it, we've got a three
22:48
Speaker 12: point two percent population of Muslims in this country, a
22:52
Speaker 12: large proportion of them. We know what side they're on
22:54
Speaker 12: because of their stance here. Then we've got the radicals
22:58
Speaker 12: from organizations like the Greens that have joined them in
23:02
Speaker 12: these pro Palestinian protests that have occurred right across the country.
23:07
Speaker 12: I'd call being in Sydney not so long ago when
23:10
Speaker 12: this was happening and I couldn't believe the call to
23:13
Speaker 12: prayer in the middle of Martin Place. That is just
23:17
Speaker 12: something I was not familiar with, let alone what's been
23:20
Speaker 12: occurring out the front of these political offices. It's not
23:23
Speaker 12: just anti Semitic, it's anti Australian and these people should
23:28
Speaker 12: realize this is not the way we go about things.
23:31
Speaker 12: Australia has got no involvement in this war. We've condemned
23:35
Speaker 12: the actions on both sides at times, but I am
23:38
Speaker 12: not condemning the Israelis for their actions that they took
23:43
Speaker 12: after October seven. What happened when all those people were
23:47
Speaker 12: massacred would have well, I would expect our Australian government
23:51
Speaker 12: to take retaliatory action exactly the same if it happened
23:54
Speaker 12: to people here in Australia. So it's very anti Australian
23:58
Speaker 12: and it's so sad to see this continuing because we've
24:00
Speaker 12: got a week livid Prime Minister who just won't call
24:03
Speaker 12: it out.
24:05
Speaker 2: Well, I'm hoping you're right and saying it's not Australian,
24:08
Speaker 2: because at the moment it does seem to be the
24:10
Speaker 2: image of Australia.
24:13
Speaker 1: Cameron.
24:14
Speaker 2: This is something out of left field. But I find
24:17
Speaker 2: it an insult when so many Australians are doing it
24:20
Speaker 2: so tough and then get their taxes on spent on
24:24
Speaker 2: the maddest arts grant I swear I have ever seen,
24:28
Speaker 2: because for one, it's nearly four million dollars and it's
24:32
Speaker 2: going to something called the Multi Species Creativity and Climate Communication.
24:38
Speaker 2: I wonder what other species are part of this arts project.
24:41
Speaker 2: Let me read some of it out to you because
24:43
Speaker 2: I don't think you believe me otherwise. It says this
24:46
Speaker 2: project advances the role of arts is the missing link
24:50
Speaker 2: in global movements of multi species justice, justice for the bandicoots.
24:55
Speaker 2: Using innovative musical approaches to communicate the urgency of climate
24:59
Speaker 2: change and leads social change, you will generate new knowledge
25:03
Speaker 2: related to musical creativity by joining together multi species perception. Again,
25:08
Speaker 2: I wonder about multispecies, composition, art science, researcher, First Nations
25:12
Speaker 2: and knowledge. Now, Cameron, you know, you know you've been
25:15
Speaker 2: to my home. You know I love the arts more
25:17
Speaker 2: than most. But these millions on this woke junk.
25:24
Speaker 13: Well, it makes a complete face if it doesn't, Andrew.
25:26
Speaker 13: I mean, someone's put a bunch of PVC pipes together
25:29
Speaker 13: and bonging a thong on the top, and that could
25:31
Speaker 13: be a musical instrument. But add First Nations and climate
25:33
Speaker 13: change and multi species to it and four million.
25:35
Speaker 1: Dollars comes your way.
25:37
Speaker 13: No, this is a wipe joke, Andrew, and just makes
25:39
Speaker 13: a complete face of arts funding, which has its place.
25:45
Speaker 2: Well, it has its place, So I'm all foreign of
25:47
Speaker 2: arts funding. But honestly, James, four million for that nearly
25:50
Speaker 2: four million dollars. That's a slap in the face for
25:53
Speaker 2: all those Australians that can't even meet their rent or
25:58
Speaker 2: or you know, afford nice food or something like.
26:01
Speaker 1: It's just the joke.
26:04
Speaker 12: Well, I'm starting to rethink whether it is worth funding
26:07
Speaker 12: these arts projects if this is the rubbish that we
26:11
Speaker 12: are supporting. Sorry, Cameron, I can't support this sort of
26:13
Speaker 12: stuff and by the sounds of it you can't either.
26:15
Speaker 1: But and this is what James the arts.
26:20
Speaker 12: I've heard so many of these different funding grant arrangements
26:24
Speaker 12: going out to people, and there's good hard working people that,
26:27
Speaker 12: particularly in my neck of the woods, that go and
26:29
Speaker 12: spend a week away from their family at a time
26:31
Speaker 12: to go and work in the mines. They pay extraordinary
26:34
Speaker 12: amounts of tax, come home and then you know, by
26:37
Speaker 12: the time they've got to go back out the following week,
26:39
Speaker 12: they're bugging and when they hear the funding that's been
26:43
Speaker 12: blown because they're giving up, you know, sixty and seventy
26:45
Speaker 12: thousand dollars out of the yearly salary to fund this. Right,
26:49
Speaker 12: it just doesn't pass the pub test, certainly not here
26:51
Speaker 12: in regional and I think people more broadly across the
26:54
Speaker 12: country have at a gutful.
26:56
Speaker 2: Well, with all this funding for an arts project for
26:59
Speaker 2: multi species, have they look after just one species first,
27:01
Speaker 2: the human one in this country and then worry about
27:04
Speaker 2: the other species and their multicultural climate change concerns. Thank
27:09
Speaker 2: you very much, Karen Milner and James Ashby. After the break,
27:14
Speaker 2: Oh the Alice Springs violence, did the voice make it worse?
27:24
Speaker 2: I think it's telling that this is Nadock Week, which
27:27
Speaker 2: is meant to celebrate Aboriginal culture, and tonight in this
27:30
Speaker 2: same week, Alice Springs is in the last night of
27:33
Speaker 2: the three day curfew imposed after the incredible violence on
27:36
Speaker 2: the weekend when about five thousand visitors, mainly from Aboriginal communities,
27:40
Speaker 2: came to town for the Alice Springs Show wow. One
27:45
Speaker 2: policeman leg fractured, other officers attacked by a big mob. Later,
27:50
Speaker 2: four off duty police, three of them women, attacked by
27:53
Speaker 2: about twenty young men and more. Something really sick is
27:58
Speaker 2: going on, and it's not just an Springs and I
28:01
Speaker 2: think less celebration and more introspection in Nadock Week would
28:07
Speaker 2: help a lot of Aboriginal kids, a lot more. Now
28:11
Speaker 2: joining me from Alla Springs is MC Cunningham, our Northern
28:13
Speaker 2: Australia Correspondent mccunningham. The curfew at Alice Springs is going
28:18
Speaker 2: to end tomorrow morning. It can only last three days
28:21
Speaker 2: at a time under the law. Will it be extended.
28:29
Speaker 14: Look, my sources at this stage are telling me that
28:31
Speaker 14: that's unlikely.
28:32
Speaker 1: Andrew.
28:33
Speaker 14: There is still the possibility that it could be, but
28:36
Speaker 14: at this stage I don't think that it is going
28:39
Speaker 14: to be. We are expecting an announcement from the Police
28:41
Speaker 14: Commissioner Michael Murphy tomorrow morning. As you say, it can
28:45
Speaker 14: only be put in place for seventy two hours at
28:47
Speaker 14: the moment, and beyond that the Police Commissioner needs to
28:50
Speaker 14: go to an emergency Committee of Cabinet to get approval
28:55
Speaker 14: for an extension. But my information is that it will
28:59
Speaker 14: end tomorrow and I think it's unlikely that there will
29:03
Speaker 14: be an extension.
29:05
Speaker 1: Does that suggest the curfew has worked?
29:11
Speaker 14: I wouldn't go as far as to say that. I
29:14
Speaker 14: think there was a fair bit of evidence earlier this
29:16
Speaker 14: year in March. So in March we saw those riots
29:20
Speaker 14: in town at the Todd Tavern where people were trying
29:23
Speaker 14: to break in. Then we saw up to one hundred
29:25
Speaker 14: and fifty people rioting in the hidden Valley at town
29:28
Speaker 14: camp in Alice Springs, and then we saw a youth
29:32
Speaker 14: curfew implemented for twenty days. I think most people in
29:36
Speaker 14: Alice Springs believe that that was a measure that worked
29:38
Speaker 14: in this case. I think there's a sense that this
29:41
Speaker 14: is basically this has been a case of sort of
29:44
Speaker 14: shutting the gate after the horse had bolted. We saw
29:48
Speaker 14: a flare up of issues in Alice Springs at the weekend,
29:51
Speaker 14: and that was a weekend where you might have predicted
29:54
Speaker 14: there were going to be incidents. It was Alice Springs
29:57
Speaker 14: Show weekend. There was a huge influx of people into
30:01
Speaker 14: our springs from surrounding Aboriginal communities, and of course we
30:05
Speaker 14: saw various incidents take place, including a horrific assault of
30:11
Speaker 14: a police officer working at a bottle shop who was
30:13
Speaker 14: run over and seriously injured, and the assault of four
30:17
Speaker 14: off duty police officers who were walking home from a
30:21
Speaker 14: restaurant on Saturday night. So it was after those incidents
30:24
Speaker 14: that had occurred that the Police Commissioner then on the
30:26
Speaker 14: Monday morning, implemented this curfew. But even since then we
30:30
Speaker 14: have seen a more crime take place, particularly outside the
30:34
Speaker 14: CBD curfew zone in the suburbs where they've been stolen vehicles,
30:37
Speaker 14: there've been houses broken into, and even this afternoon, Andrew
30:42
Speaker 14: at one point thirty in the afternoon, which of course
30:45
Speaker 14: is outside of the curfew hours, we've seen a brawl
30:47
Speaker 14: take place in the Alice Springs CBD.
30:52
Speaker 1: Yeah.
30:52
Speaker 2: I think what the curfew has done is given the
30:55
Speaker 2: police time to let the five thousand visitors for the
30:59
Speaker 2: show go back to the Aboriginal communities. It hasn't fixed anything.
31:02
Speaker 2: It's just, you know, put a little screen over it
31:06
Speaker 2: for now. I grew up in the Territory and later
31:09
Speaker 2: went back to work for a labor politician there. None
31:12
Speaker 2: of this violence. This is just off the scale. This
31:15
Speaker 2: is something I've never seen in my time there. You've
31:19
Speaker 2: also talked to the Northern Territory Police Association. What are
31:22
Speaker 2: they saying about this violence we're seeing.
31:28
Speaker 14: Well, Nathan Finn, who's the president of the Northern Territory
31:31
Speaker 14: Police Association, clearly has concerns about the assaults on some
31:36
Speaker 14: of his members that we've seen over the past few days.
31:38
Speaker 2: But he also had a.
31:39
Speaker 14: Bit to say when I spoke to him this week
31:41
Speaker 14: about police morale. He says, a morale amongst the Northern
31:44
Speaker 14: Territory Police is at a record low and that has
31:47
Speaker 14: been born out in some of the surveys that the
31:49
Speaker 14: Northern Territory Police Association have done. But he pointed to
31:53
Speaker 14: a couple of things that he said have really contributed
31:56
Speaker 14: to that drop in morale. One was the decision to charge,
32:00
Speaker 14: as we've covered here extensively, Constable Zachary Rolf with the
32:04
Speaker 14: murder of Kumen Joie Walker four days after that incident
32:08
Speaker 14: at Yundamoo back in November twenty nineteen, and the ongoing
32:12
Speaker 14: coronial inquest into that matter now twenty nineteen. November twenty
32:17
Speaker 14: nineteen was when that incident occurred, Andrew, it was two
32:21
Speaker 14: and a half years after that. It was March twenty
32:24
Speaker 14: twenty two when Constable Rolf faced a jury trial and
32:29
Speaker 14: was found not guilty. And then since then there was
32:32
Speaker 14: a coronial investigation that began in September of twenty twenty
32:37
Speaker 14: two and is still going on now almost two years later.
32:40
Speaker 14: In fact, today we found out that there's going to
32:42
Speaker 14: be more hearings in relation to that coronial investigation that
32:45
Speaker 14: are going to take place in November of this year.
32:48
Speaker 14: So it's unlikely that we will get a report from
32:51
Speaker 14: that Coronial investigation until sometime in twenty twenty five, and
32:56
Speaker 14: Nathan Finn said that that is something that is really
32:59
Speaker 14: a acting police morale. The other thing that he said
33:02
Speaker 14: was affecting morale was the failed referendum on the Indigenous
33:06
Speaker 14: Voice to Parliament. He says that that has created a
33:08
Speaker 14: divide between Aboriginal Territorians and police officers and that is
33:14
Speaker 14: making it more difficult for them to do their job.
33:17
Speaker 15: That's played a big effect on the separation of obviously
33:20
Speaker 15: the wide Australian versus Indigenous Australians as well. All these
33:23
Speaker 15: things have had a great effect on our ability to
33:25
Speaker 15: communicate with obviously our First Nations people here in the
33:28
Speaker 15: Northern Territory, and our members struggle with that because there's
33:31
Speaker 15: seemed to be a divide and this divide's been created
33:34
Speaker 15: not by our members but by the government.
33:36
Speaker 2: Well, just one more saying of how community tensions were
33:40
Speaker 2: made worse not better by that referendum. I just thought
33:43
Speaker 2: it was such a tragic mistake. Now, Cunningham, thank you
33:46
Speaker 2: so much for your time.
33:49
Speaker 14: Thanks Andrew.
33:50
Speaker 1: I'll tell you.
33:51
Speaker 2: Know, the voice has been beaten, but the poison remains
33:55
Speaker 2: is very little has been more devastating to community cohesion
34:00
Speaker 2: last few years, and that after the break, yet another
34:02
Speaker 2: foreign criminal free from detention. But good news as well,
34:05
Speaker 2: the best labor premier has come to the rescue of
34:09
Speaker 2: Anzac day.
34:10
Speaker 1: But I asked why stop there? Coming up?
34:16
Speaker 2: Of course that astrologist. But first here we go again
34:19
Speaker 2: the Albinizi government its stuffed up a case.
34:22
Speaker 1: Last year.
34:22
Speaker 2: We said a lot about it, with the High Court
34:24
Speaker 2: then effectively ruling that immigration detainees it couldn't be sent home,
34:28
Speaker 2: must be sent free and so even rapists and murderers
34:32
Speaker 2: will then let loosen our streets. Now another based on
34:35
Speaker 2: that High Court decision. This time the Federal court is
34:38
Speaker 2: free from detention. And the Iraq born man who came
34:41
Speaker 2: here illegally by boat and then faced a criminal charge
34:44
Speaker 2: for allegedly having a three year sexual relationship with a
34:47
Speaker 2: thirty year old girl the state ward. Although it seems
34:50
Speaker 2: the charges were lated withdrawn. This man was even convicted
34:53
Speaker 2: of common assault and assault occasion occasioning actually bodily harm
34:58
Speaker 2: over a fight at the detention facility. Joining me is
35:01
Speaker 2: the coalition's immigration spokesman, Dantean dan Teen. Thank you so
35:05
Speaker 2: much for joining me. Now we've got an the Iraq
35:08
Speaker 2: born man who was charged with having a three year
35:11
Speaker 2: sexual relationship with the state ward. He's been now released
35:16
Speaker 2: from detention because he couldn't be sent home fair enough.
35:22
Speaker 16: Well, once again, it's just a complete mess, and it's
35:25
Speaker 16: a mess of the government's own making. It's a mess
35:28
Speaker 16: in particular of the immigration Minister Andrew Giles is making.
35:32
Speaker 16: As your viewers will remember Andrew, last year the minister
35:38
Speaker 16: agreed to a statement of fact which said that certain
35:42
Speaker 16: detainees couldn't be returned to their country of origin. After
35:48
Speaker 16: he'd done that, of course panic set in the government
35:51
Speaker 16: then tried to make it out that they were attempting
35:54
Speaker 16: to send these detainees to the US and other Five
35:58
Speaker 16: Eye countries, but High Court didn't buy it. And of
36:02
Speaker 16: course we saw one hundred and fifty two initially of
36:05
Speaker 16: these hardened criminals released, and since then we've seen more
36:10
Speaker 16: and more and we're up to now I think it's
36:12
Speaker 16: one hundred and sixty two, or of course the government
36:15
Speaker 16: doesn't update the figure, but we think it's now one
36:18
Speaker 16: hundred and sixty two. And this is just the latest.
36:21
Speaker 16: And as we know, the government gave us all these
36:23
Speaker 16: assurances that these people would be properly monitored, yet we
36:29
Speaker 16: now know that a large proportion of them aren't wearing
36:33
Speaker 16: ankle bracelets and are being monitored in the baarest minimalist way.
36:39
Speaker 16: So it's just another disaster and it's why the reshuffle
36:42
Speaker 16: can't come quick enough, because we cannot have Andrew Giles
36:46
Speaker 16: continue in his position as Immigration Minister, because he's making
36:51
Speaker 16: public safety in this country a serious, serious issue.
36:57
Speaker 1: Danteen.
36:58
Speaker 2: There's another aspect of all this really concerns me. As
37:01
Speaker 2: you well know, for years our courts, particularly the Federal Court,
37:05
Speaker 2: has been clogged by refugees, so called circled detainees, trying
37:12
Speaker 2: to figure out legal ways to delay their deportation, to
37:16
Speaker 2: delay the inevitable challenge appeals just eating up court time
37:21
Speaker 2: and the effect of that is that Australians have delays
37:25
Speaker 2: in getting justice for themselves, let alone for these non citizens.
37:29
Speaker 2: There are now twenty five cases. This is getting worse
37:32
Speaker 2: because there were four cases already of immigration settled by
37:36
Speaker 2: the Federal Court just last week. There are now twenty
37:39
Speaker 2: five cases already being lodged now of non citizens in
37:44
Speaker 2: the Federal Court demanded to be let out. After that
37:48
Speaker 2: Federal Court, the High Court last the order the release
37:50
Speaker 2: of a Burmese pedophile that we couldn't send back. This
37:53
Speaker 2: is just going this is really hurting Australians and I'm
37:57
Speaker 2: just wondering what can be done about this circus.
38:02
Speaker 16: Well, you're absolutely right. The Federal Court has now set
38:05
Speaker 16: up a special special project to deal with these issues
38:11
Speaker 16: and has appointed special judges to look after it. So
38:14
Speaker 16: it is taking up the time of the Court, there
38:18
Speaker 16: is no question about that. And what we're seeing from
38:22
Speaker 16: the government is no effort being made to address this situation.
38:26
Speaker 16: You'll remember that they wanted to put forward emergency Powers
38:30
Speaker 16: legislation that had to be rushed through the Parliament in
38:34
Speaker 16: twenty four hours. Now we passed it through the House
38:37
Speaker 16: of Reps and said we wanted to have a look
38:39
Speaker 16: at it in the Senate.
38:40
Speaker 6: We've done that.
38:41
Speaker 16: We've said to the government, right, we're ready to work
38:44
Speaker 16: with you to pass it through the Senate. They won't
38:47
Speaker 16: even bring it on for debate now in the Senate.
38:50
Speaker 16: There are other things that have been recommended for them
38:53
Speaker 16: to do, especially when it comes to people who are
38:57
Speaker 16: using our courts, for them to be able to speed
39:00
Speaker 16: up the way these cases are processed so that we
39:03
Speaker 16: can get them through the courts much quickly. They haven't
39:06
Speaker 16: implemented those So not only have we seen these detainees
39:10
Speaker 16: clog up our court system, but also we're seen last
39:14
Speaker 16: month a record number under this labor government of asylum
39:19
Speaker 16: seekers or asylum seeker applications, and our worry is that
39:24
Speaker 16: number is going to continue to grow. And we saw
39:28
Speaker 16: for the first time a doubling of the amount of
39:32
Speaker 16: Palestinians applying for asylum. You'll remember they came in on
39:37
Speaker 16: tourist visas and the Prime ministers said.
39:40
Speaker 1: That this was temporary.
39:42
Speaker 16: Well now they're using the courts by applying for asylum here.
39:46
Speaker 16: So we're seeing more and more of this type of behavior,
39:50
Speaker 16: whether it be from the detainees or from people seeking
39:54
Speaker 16: to claim asylum here.
39:57
Speaker 2: Danteine, I wonder whether we're never going to get an
40:00
Speaker 2: top of this tremendous circus. It costs us so much
40:03
Speaker 2: in legal costs, legal delays, everything, that we got to
40:07
Speaker 2: withdraw from the Refugee Convention and declare that some countries
40:11
Speaker 2: we don't care the democracies that can sort out, like
40:13
Speaker 2: India or whatever, we will not accept any We will
40:16
Speaker 2: not tolerate any refugee claims from countries like that. That
40:20
Speaker 2: is just a full stop. Otherwise this court shopping is
40:24
Speaker 2: going to continue.
40:25
Speaker 1: But look, you and I.
40:27
Speaker 2: Have worried about social cohesion for a long time. I
40:30
Speaker 2: know you've mentioned it many times in tax on the
40:32
Speaker 2: national symbols, national identity. Now I've got a labor premier
40:36
Speaker 2: and I'm surprised about that, but you know it's New
40:38
Speaker 2: South Wales. Chris Men's good guy. He's said that he
40:41
Speaker 2: wants more respect for an Zac Dave.
40:44
Speaker 17: It's an opportunity for the community to come together to
40:47
Speaker 17: acknowledge what has been a profound sacrifice by generations of
40:53
Speaker 17: young Australians on behalf of the country. And if we
40:56
Speaker 17: forget some of those basic tenants, if it's lost to
40:59
Speaker 17: future generals, it's not commemorated on Anzac Day, and the
41:04
Speaker 17: essential character or the spirit of a country like Australia
41:06
Speaker 17: gets lost alongside it.
41:08
Speaker 1: You're back him on this, wouldn't you?
41:11
Speaker 16: Absolutely? And I think, you know, hats off to Chris
41:16
Speaker 16: Means for what he's doing. I think it's absolutely the
41:19
Speaker 16: right move. But Andrew, I do worry that we're having
41:22
Speaker 16: to take these steps to make sure that people understand
41:26
Speaker 16: the significance of Anzac Day. We have to ensure that
41:31
Speaker 16: people are being taught from a very early age the
41:34
Speaker 16: importance of this day, the importance of our symbols, the
41:39
Speaker 16: importance of our monuments. We saw the desecration of memorials
41:45
Speaker 16: along Anzac Drive in Canberra, one of the most heinous
41:48
Speaker 16: things I think we've seen in the last twenty years
41:51
Speaker 16: that people would seek to do that.
41:53
Speaker 2: Right across the board.
41:55
Speaker 16: People are finding any way they can to disrespect what
41:59
Speaker 16: are in important, important institutions and important symbols, important days,
42:05
Speaker 16: whether it be Anzac Day, whether it be Australia Day,
42:08
Speaker 16: and what Chris Mins is doing for Anzac Day, I
42:11
Speaker 16: think is absolutely a step in the right direction. I
42:14
Speaker 16: think we're going to reach the point where we're going
42:17
Speaker 16: to have to do the same for Australia Day because
42:21
Speaker 16: for all of us who know and understand the importance
42:24
Speaker 16: of these days, making sure that we protect them and
42:28
Speaker 16: protect the respect that they should be held, I think
42:31
Speaker 16: is incredibly important.
42:34
Speaker 2: I agree, and if you get into government, you should
42:37
Speaker 2: pull back the reverse that government decision to let public
42:41
Speaker 2: service take alternative days to Australia Days.
42:43
Speaker 1: Their public holiday. No, it's for Australia Day.
42:46
Speaker 2: You don't want it, you lose it, Dante, and thank
42:49
Speaker 2: you so much for your.
42:49
Speaker 1: Time, Pleasure Andrews.
42:53
Speaker 2: Is actually done is say there's a retail band. Normally
42:57
Speaker 2: it's just during the morning. It's not going to be
42:59
Speaker 2: all day most shops. So I think that's a great move.
43:02
Speaker 2: After the break one TV station has hired an astrologer
43:06
Speaker 2: for its news service. Seriously, and why does any news
43:10
Speaker 2: program think it's the news? And how came Turnbull wines
43:13
Speaker 2: and wines about the Liberals again.
43:22
Speaker 1: And the news watch.
43:23
Speaker 2: And I've said before so many journalists now aren't in
43:25
Speaker 2: the truth business. And I've just got a great example.
43:28
Speaker 2: You know Channel ten that its reputation trash by paying
43:31
Speaker 2: for hookers and allegedly drugs for rapists Bruce Lium and
43:34
Speaker 2: it's denarded, but it's got rid of all those allegedly
43:37
Speaker 2: involved in their story. And now to repair its news division,
43:40
Speaker 2: it's going to add to the six pm news bulletin
43:43
Speaker 2: an astrologer. Would you believe Natasha Webber, also known as Astrotash,
43:49
Speaker 2: who has been already doing her stuff for its morning.
43:52
Speaker 4: Show Venus The Planet of Love and Money is making
43:56
Speaker 4: some final connections in cancer before entering LEO on Friday.
44:00
Speaker 4: So here's what's ahead this week. Aries feeling off kilter,
44:06
Speaker 4: asking for help is the answer and support is closer
44:08
Speaker 4: than you think. Use Thursday to dive into home improvements,
44:12
Speaker 4: fixed broken appliances.
44:16
Speaker 2: Seriously Joining me is Sophie Ellsworth, Media run for the
44:18
Speaker 2: Australian newspaper Sophie, an astrology segment in the news.
44:24
Speaker 18: Really well, they're trying everything at Channel seven, Andrew. They've
44:31
Speaker 18: got a new news director, Anthony de Segli. He's only
44:35
Speaker 18: been in the job a couple of months and he
44:38
Speaker 18: is trying to shake things up by introducing a few
44:41
Speaker 18: new segments. So they are going to be introducing an
44:45
Speaker 18: astrology segment where I guess you can find out if
44:48
Speaker 18: the stars and the planets aligned and you'll be able
44:51
Speaker 18: to pay your bills, lose some weight, perhaps get on
44:54
Speaker 18: with your partner better, Andrew. But this is what they're
44:56
Speaker 18: injecting into the news bulletin service in a bid to
45:00
Speaker 18: hope to lure viewers to their news bulletins because seven
45:04
Speaker 18: and nine, as we know, battle the ratings every night
45:07
Speaker 18: and at the moment in the key markets, Channel nine
45:11
Speaker 18: are ahead in cities including Sydney and Melbourne. So perhaps
45:15
Speaker 18: this is a brave move by Channel seven boss Anthony
45:19
Speaker 18: de Segli.
45:20
Speaker 7: But will it work.
45:21
Speaker 18: I think the jury is out, Andrew.
45:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, but what does it say about its commitment to
45:26
Speaker 2: truth and the news? If it's an astrology can crack it.
45:32
Speaker 18: Well, Andrew, I'm a skeptic. I have to admit I
45:35
Speaker 18: guess you are too that I'm very skeptical about astrology,
45:40
Speaker 18: and I think a lot of other people will be.
45:42
Speaker 13: But perhaps some people are open.
45:44
Speaker 18: To it and think this is what they need. I mean,
45:47
Speaker 18: they're trying anything they can to lure in new viewers
45:50
Speaker 18: because as we know, Andrew, a lot of people are
45:52
Speaker 18: turning off the regimented tuning into the six pm news
45:57
Speaker 18: and they're looking at other avenues to watch. You know
46:00
Speaker 18: a lot of people streaming these days, so they're trying
46:03
Speaker 18: something new. I give them points for that, but I'm
46:05
Speaker 18: not quite sure it will work.
46:09
Speaker 2: Now, soph You're one of the easiest and laziest ways
46:12
Speaker 2: for a media outlet to get someone to attack the
46:14
Speaker 2: liberals is to ask the most bitter man in Australia.
46:18
Speaker 2: In my opinion, former promise of Malcolm turble to talk
46:21
Speaker 2: about the Liberals who sacked them as hopeless prime minister,
46:23
Speaker 2: which is what we saw again on Channel ten's The Project,
46:27
Speaker 2: where Turnbull was a one man clown show with the
46:30
Speaker 2: most childish abuse of opportunity to leader Peter Dutton.
46:34
Speaker 19: He's a thug and it has got one tune that
46:39
Speaker 19: he plays. I mean it's been to all his political life,
46:42
Speaker 19: and that is division and animosity generally targeted at immigrants.
46:47
Speaker 19: It's it is really I couldn't think of anyone less
46:52
Speaker 19: suited to be Prime minister of a multicultural society like Australia.
46:58
Speaker 2: If we've heard that she stick from Malcolm Turnbull I
47:00
Speaker 2: don't know how many times over the last several years
47:03
Speaker 2: because he's furious that Dutton kicked you know, got him
47:07
Speaker 2: to lose his job as prime minister. But seriously, how
47:11
Speaker 2: often do we have to see this sad bloke?
47:16
Speaker 17: Andrew?
47:17
Speaker 18: I do actually think it's sad that Malcolm Turnbull is
47:20
Speaker 18: giving up his time to appear on the leftist program
47:24
Speaker 18: The Project to cater to a young audience. He sits
47:28
Speaker 18: up there like a cheshier cat and just throws stones
47:32
Speaker 18: at the Coalition. I mean hasn't he got better things
47:35
Speaker 18: to do. He's got plenty of wealth, he was successful
47:38
Speaker 18: in his own right, and now he's just seems to
47:43
Speaker 18: want to stick that knife in to the Liberal Party
47:47
Speaker 18: and he just won't let go. I mean, I thought
47:49
Speaker 18: Kevin Rudd was a better Prime Minister, but I think
47:53
Speaker 18: the gold medal would go to Malcolm Turbull. He just
47:56
Speaker 18: this is his modus operandi. Andrew, get on the ABC,
48:00
Speaker 18: get on the Project, bag the Coalition. There goes to soundbites.
48:04
Speaker 18: It's spread all over the news and he gets with
48:07
Speaker 18: the publicity that he wants.
48:10
Speaker 2: It wasn't spread over the news so much this time
48:12
Speaker 2: because he said it so often, And I'm just curious
48:15
Speaker 2: why the Project thought they needed to hear it again.
48:20
Speaker 18: Well, I guess they've got to fill their show somehow.
48:22
Speaker 18: And he is the perfect person if you want someone
48:25
Speaker 18: on there to absolutely stick the knife into the Liberal Party.
48:30
Speaker 18: Malcolm Turnbull is on speed dial. And we know this
48:33
Speaker 18: in the media. I mean he pops up on the
48:36
Speaker 18: ABC regularly. Andrew's regularly on R and Breakfast, same script,
48:41
Speaker 18: same attacking.
48:43
Speaker 1: I mean, he should be happy. It's just.
48:51
Speaker 2: So feels worth terrific stuff. Thank you for your time.
48:55
Speaker 2: That's it for me now. Cayleb Bond hosting Charry
