- 0:01Speaker 1: Peter Krandlin live on Sky News Australia.
- 0:07Speaker 2: But Eve being welcome to the program. Here's what's coming
- 0:09Speaker 2: up tonight on Kredline. Well, the pressures mounting on Labor
- 0:13Speaker 2: rightly so over their lack of action on anti Semitism.
- 0:16Speaker 2: Tony Burk and just sent to Alan both copying it
- 0:18Speaker 2: from angry mourners and the Prime Minister all over the shop.
- 0:22Speaker 2: When question today in a press conference about Julian Siegel's report,
- 0:26Speaker 2: I'll show you that shortly, Desperate to avoid the criticism,
- 0:30Speaker 2: Labour's trying to make this all about gun law reform.
- 0:33Speaker 2: Now granted the valid concerns here, but as important as
- 0:37Speaker 2: that is so to the elephant in the room, radical Islam,
- 0:41Speaker 2: and the national debate too that we must have on immigration.
- 0:45Speaker 3: Andrew Hasty will join me.
- 0:48Speaker 2: Plus the younger of the Bondai terrast suspects with links
- 0:51Speaker 2: to Islamic state and surprise, surprise, one of the Sydney.
- 0:56Speaker 3: Radical Muslim clerics too. The more we.
- 0:59Speaker 2: Learn, the more the worn signs were there that our
- 1:01Speaker 2: authorities appear to have missed. Plus official confirmation of explosive
- 1:06Speaker 2: devices at the scene and two black homemade flags of
- 1:11Speaker 2: Islamic state.
- 1:12Speaker 4: A vehicle which is registered to the younger male contained IEDs,
- 1:18Speaker 4: but I also confirm that it contained two homemade Isis flags.
- 1:22Speaker 5: Early indications point to a terrorist attack inspired by Islamic State.
- 1:30Speaker 3: The first.
- 1:31Speaker 2: It's becoming pretty clear, isn't it? As to how the
- 1:33Speaker 2: Prime Minister intends to respond to the massacre of Jews
- 1:37Speaker 2: at Bondai. He wants to make Sunday's atrocity all about
- 1:41Speaker 2: too many guns rather than too much due hatred about
- 1:46Speaker 2: the guns themselves, rather than the antisemitic evil that motivated
- 1:50Speaker 2: the men who fired them. And in doing so, he
- 1:54Speaker 2: would hope he'll get away without taking any responsibility at
- 1:58Speaker 2: all for his role as our national leader for allowing
- 2:02Speaker 2: this hatred to all but go unchecked, because it is
- 2:06Speaker 2: his failure to show leadership that's allowed hate filled words
- 2:10Speaker 2: to metastasize into gunshots. Because making it about gun control alone,
- 2:16Speaker 2: he thinks will get him off the hook.
- 2:20Speaker 6: The consideration that will take place includes limiting the number
- 2:24Speaker 6: of guns an individual, canon the type of guns that illegal,
- 2:27Speaker 6: whether gun ownership should require Australian citizenship, and accelerating work
- 2:32Speaker 6: on the National Firearms Register.
- 2:36Speaker 2: Clearly, overeas he's trying to equate Sunday's massacre with Port Arthur,
- 2:40Speaker 2: even though that was an act of personal evil, while
- 2:43Speaker 2: this was an atrocity motivated by religious hatred, by radical
- 2:48Speaker 2: Islamist hatred. What this government can't and won't admit, as
- 2:53Speaker 2: Susan Lee pointed out yesterday, is that it's treated you
- 2:57Speaker 2: hatred as a problem that they have to manage away,
- 3:00Speaker 2: rather than an evil to be eradicated. From the Prime
- 3:03Speaker 2: Minister down, they've looked through this and a political prism,
- 3:08Speaker 2: not one on principle, their political obsession with protecting Muslim
- 3:13Speaker 2: votes in labor seats and their solidarity with hard left
- 3:17Speaker 2: activists that have marched their hate through our city streets
- 3:20Speaker 2: on an ear weekly basis since October seven.
- 3:23Speaker 3: And when they could.
- 3:24Speaker 2: Have done something, the Prime Minister and his government have
- 3:28Speaker 2: done next to nothing. Nothing when radical Islamist preachers rejoiced
- 3:34Speaker 2: in the October seventh slaughter of men, women and babies.
- 3:38Speaker 7: I'm smiling and I'm happy.
- 3:42Speaker 3: I'm it's a day of courage.
- 3:48Speaker 2: Nothing still, when an angry mob filled with anti Jewish
- 3:52Speaker 2: hate was escorted by police onto the steps of the
- 3:55Speaker 2: Opera House, when one hundred thousand people too streamed across
- 4:13Speaker 2: the Sydney Harbor Bridge, with many of them demanding death
- 4:16Speaker 2: to the idy Air and globalize the into FATA. Again,
- 4:20Speaker 2: no action from the government that we elect to keep
- 4:23Speaker 2: every Australian safe. But as we know, as history has
- 4:36Speaker 2: shown us, if people get away with inciting violince, sooner
- 4:40Speaker 2: or later, violence happens. As the Holocaust impacted family tree
- 4:46Speaker 2: of almost every Jewish Australian bears witness months and months
- 4:51Speaker 2: we've had of hand ringing, mistruths and political dithering, and
- 4:56Speaker 2: that can't be washed away by a Prime minister laying
- 4:58Speaker 2: a wreath after to the event, when all people wanted
- 5:02Speaker 2: and needed from him was action to stop the incitement,
- 5:06Speaker 2: not the sympathy afterwards. The reason these fifteen innocents were
- 5:10Speaker 2: gunned down at Bondai is not supposedly inadequate gun laws,
- 5:15Speaker 2: as much as they might warrant review, but inadequate leadership
- 5:19Speaker 2: from the top. Inadequate, woeful, miserable leadership from a man
- 5:24Speaker 2: who leads a government that has failed not just the dead,
- 5:28Speaker 2: but failed all Australians. Horrified that this massacre occurs here
- 5:33Speaker 2: in our midst What the Prime Minister's trying to do
- 5:36Speaker 2: here is use the issue of gun laws to avoid
- 5:40Speaker 2: an overdue national debate on due hatred and the rise
- 5:44Speaker 2: of radical Islam. And yet it's what drives people to
- 5:48Speaker 2: kill that matters a whole lot more than how they kill. Now,
- 5:54Speaker 2: after all, it's been confirmed by police today that the
- 5:57Speaker 2: car registered to the younger man Navidak found at the
- 6:01Speaker 2: scene contained explosive devices. Now, if that had caused the
- 6:06Speaker 2: loss of life on Sunday and not the guns, what
- 6:10Speaker 2: would have been the Prime Minister's response. They couldn't have
- 6:13Speaker 2: hidden behind gun reform then surely if it had been
- 6:16Speaker 2: a knife attack, what then.
- 6:19Speaker 4: So confirmed that the vehicle, which is registered to the
- 6:22Speaker 4: younger male contained IEDs, the Prime.
- 6:28Speaker 2: Minister and his front bench should not insult our intelligence
- 6:31Speaker 2: or in fantalize us by trying to make this about
- 6:35Speaker 2: something other than you hatred that they have monumentally failed
- 6:39Speaker 2: to deal with. I don't think the public will fall
- 6:42Speaker 2: for this ruse, certainly not if the reception for Tony
- 6:45Speaker 2: Burke last night is any guide.
- 6:53Speaker 8: Okay, what have we done?
- 6:54Speaker 3: If you have had fut in your Pauls, well.
- 6:58Speaker 2: Done, blood.
- 7:04Speaker 9: Shame on you.
- 7:11Speaker 2: Remember this is the government that started criticizing Israel almost
- 7:14Speaker 2: as soon as military operations against her mass had begun,
- 7:18Speaker 2: whose Foreign minister failed even to visit the areas where
- 7:22Speaker 2: those terrorists killed so many when finally she was shamed
- 7:26Speaker 2: into visiting Israel, a government that ratcheted up it's rhetoric
- 7:30Speaker 2: against Israel before announcing that it would officially recognize Palestine
- 7:35Speaker 2: in a giant concession to those demanding that Palestine be
- 7:39Speaker 2: free from the river to the sea. It's a government
- 7:42Speaker 2: that's routinely refused visas to hardline members of the Israeli government,
- 7:48Speaker 2: but that's never withdrawn the visa of a single hate preacher,
- 7:51Speaker 2: or to my knowledge, ever prosecuted one. And they don't
- 7:55Speaker 2: need you laws for any of this, They just need
- 7:59Speaker 2: to enforce the existing ones. Today, the Prime Minister, in
- 8:03Speaker 2: his press conference tried to make it as much of
- 8:07Speaker 2: our community mental health as about Islamist terrorism, reeling off
- 8:12Speaker 2: a list of mental health hotlines at the start of
- 8:15Speaker 2: his press conference. And this despite the fact that the
- 8:19Speaker 2: new Federal Police Commissioner conceded what we all knew to
- 8:23Speaker 2: be true after we first learned the presence of to
- 8:27Speaker 2: homemade Islamic state flags in the car of the killers.
- 8:32Speaker 5: Early indications point to a terrorist attack inspired by Islamic State,
- 8:37Speaker 5: allegedly committed by a father and son.
- 8:41Speaker 2: We've also learned today of the links between the younger
- 8:44Speaker 2: killer and the Dawa Islamic Center in Sydney, the place
- 8:48Speaker 2: responsible for hate spewing preachers like this, By.
- 8:54Speaker 10: The day you will be kicked up, or Palestine is
- 8:56Speaker 10: coming a day when the stones and the trees will
- 8:59Speaker 10: seek and say, oh, Muslim, there is a two behind
- 9:02Speaker 10: me coming to him.
- 9:05Speaker 2: Last night as I picked up and I showed you.
- 9:09Speaker 3: When asked about the.
- 9:10Speaker 2: Fact the sun was on Asio's radar in twenty nineteen,
- 9:15Speaker 2: the Prime Minister will he'd only tell you this.
- 9:21Speaker 6: He was examined on the basis of being associated with
- 9:24Speaker 6: others and the assessment was made that there was no
- 9:28Speaker 6: indication of any ongoing threat or threat of him engaging
- 9:33Speaker 6: in violence.
- 9:37Speaker 2: What he left out there now, we don't we that
- 9:39Speaker 2: those others were an Islamic State terror cell. Nor did
- 9:45Speaker 2: he confess that the son and father had both recently
- 9:49Speaker 2: traveled to a terrorist hotspot in the Philippines, spending a
- 9:52Speaker 2: month there. What was that about training or planning connected
- 9:57Speaker 2: with Sunday's attack? I will tell but I am not
- 10:02Speaker 2: the only one who has remarked that the way they
- 10:04Speaker 2: both moved with those guns, how the tel tail look
- 10:09Speaker 2: of military training, and so, knowing all of this and
- 10:13Speaker 2: those demonstrable links to Islamic State, you've got to wonder
- 10:18Speaker 2: why on earth the Albanezer government was so willing to
- 10:21Speaker 2: work in secret to bring back to this country women
- 10:25Speaker 2: who had cooperated with Islamic State and their children, some
- 10:30Speaker 2: reportedly close to adulthood themselves. Now, why, why, why, why
- 10:37Speaker 2: would we import more hate?
- 10:41Speaker 3: Today?
- 10:41Speaker 2: The Prime Minister admitted that Islamic State was quote a
- 10:46Speaker 2: perversion of Islam, and then incredibly he said this.
- 10:52Speaker 6: What what terrorist seek to do is to create division,
- 10:57Speaker 6: is to create conflict, is to mine social coesion, No.
- 11:04Speaker 2: Prime Minister, not division, not to undermine. What they are
- 11:10Speaker 2: trying to do is to kill Australians. And the radical
- 11:15Speaker 2: Islamist ideology that drives them to kill has to be
- 11:19Speaker 2: called out at every opportunity. It must be called out.
- 11:24Speaker 2: And if you won't do it, if you cannot do it,
- 11:27Speaker 2: then alban Easy, you need to go. This is a
- 11:32Speaker 2: line in the sand for Australia. And looking at the
- 11:35Speaker 2: lines of those giving blood, those calling in to radio
- 11:39Speaker 2: stations what Australians are telling reporters on the street.
- 11:43Speaker 3: People are barely able.
- 11:44Speaker 2: To restrain their anger as politicians walk around the streets
- 11:48Speaker 2: of Bondai.
- 11:50Speaker 3: And finally, I have hope.
- 11:53Speaker 2: That we might get our country back because this is
- 11:56Speaker 2: now the silent majority speaking even the men today, we're
- 12:01Speaker 2: rightly copying their just deserts.
- 12:04Speaker 11: And ABC, I've got to say, will you cut out
- 12:08Speaker 11: the biased reporting.
- 12:12Speaker 3: Mainstream media?
- 12:13Speaker 11: We feel we've yeah, will will you cut it out?
- 12:15Speaker 11: Will you actually let us have a voice, because we
- 12:19Speaker 11: feel that part of the reason that the Jewish people
- 12:23Speaker 11: have experienced such a massive change in Australia towards US
- 12:30Speaker 11: and ABC please stop with the bias reporting.
- 12:36Speaker 2: Earlier today, around lunchtime, it was my honor to host
- 12:38Speaker 2: a Hartecare event Parliament House and Melbourne, where both the
- 12:42Speaker 2: Premier and the Opposition leader spoke to a large crowd
- 12:45Speaker 2: from Melbourne's Jewish community, and I ended the event on
- 12:51Speaker 2: a personal note.
- 12:52Speaker 3: I said, as someone.
- 12:53Speaker 2: Who studied history at school university, I used to ask
- 12:58Speaker 2: myself what would I have done if I had been
- 13:03Speaker 2: born at another time, in another place. Would I have
- 13:07Speaker 2: spoken out against evil? Would I have stood silent? As
- 13:11Speaker 2: I watched Nazis drag my neighbors from their homes, and
- 13:16Speaker 2: I said to myself, I never want to.
- 13:20Speaker 3: Be the person.
- 13:24Speaker 12: We stand with you, all the non Jewish Victorians and
- 13:30Speaker 12: Australians stand with you. You are in our hearts and
- 13:34Speaker 12: in our preers, and out of this time of great darkness.
- 13:41Speaker 13: Let them be in light.
- 13:49Speaker 2: These are dark days. Indeed, let's said to camera now
- 13:52Speaker 2: Tonight's political headlines with our reporter turning Macintosh a.
- 13:57Speaker 14: Colorful outpouring of the nation's grief. Bondai Pavilion, a makeshift
- 14:02Speaker 14: memorial to the horror that stained the streets of Australia's
- 14:05Speaker 14: most iconic beach.
- 14:06Speaker 5: You should not have to fear your life or walk
- 14:09Speaker 5: around thinking if I'm wearing a keeper or if I'm
- 14:12Speaker 5: wearing a Star of David, someone wants to kill me.
- 14:15Speaker 14: Much of the anger is being directed at the Albanezy
- 14:17Speaker 14: government for failing to quash anti Semitism.
- 14:20Speaker 6: What terrorist seek to do is to create division, and
- 14:24Speaker 6: we can't allow their objective to be successful.
- 14:29Speaker 14: The opposition argues, it falls well short of what is needed.
- 14:32Speaker 14: The government is yet to fully endorse all recommendations from
- 14:35Speaker 14: Jillian Siegel's report to combat antisemitism.
- 14:38Speaker 13: It's no use just saying let's come together. We have
- 14:42Speaker 13: to rid our country of this scoirch, of this hatred.
- 14:46Speaker 14: The Australian reports the Prime Minister didn't raise Seagull's antisemitism
- 14:50Speaker 14: plan at the crisis National Cabinet was that reference.
- 14:54Speaker 6: What we did was we reference the ongoing work, including
- 14:57Speaker 6: the National Hate Crime to an incident database.
- 15:01Speaker 15: That is what it is.
- 15:02Speaker 6: We have taken the report from the Anti Semitism Voyd
- 15:08Speaker 6: and what we are doing is busy implementing it.
- 15:10Speaker 14: Former Prime Minister John Howard joins the chorus of criticism.
- 15:14Speaker 8: With these years but maybe approach the Prime Minister has
- 15:19Speaker 8: to this issue and that's not good enough. Prime Minister.
- 15:22Speaker 14: The eyes of the world on Australia at a time
- 15:25Speaker 14: of immense pain. Trudy McIntosh Sky News all.
- 15:31Speaker 2: Right, let's return tonight again to the pavilion at Bondi
- 15:34Speaker 2: and Johnny Maanow is, Rabbi Eli Feldman. Welcome to the program, Rabbi,
- 15:40Speaker 2: and again on behalf of all of my viewers and myself,
- 15:43Speaker 2: we extend our deepest condolences to the City Jewish community.
- 15:48Speaker 2: Your synagogue's in New Town, but I know you've been
- 15:51Speaker 2: there on the ground in Bondai today. What are people
- 15:54Speaker 2: saying to you.
- 15:58Speaker 3: This shock?
- 16:00Speaker 10: There's grief, the sadness, there's anger, there's also resilience and hope.
- 16:07Speaker 10: It's a mixture of emotions, a whole range of emotions,
- 16:10Speaker 10: and it's just a very raw time, not just for
- 16:13Speaker 10: Jewish Australdings, but for all the stratings.
- 16:17Speaker 2: How can those of us who are not of Jewish
- 16:21Speaker 2: faith demonstrably show our support to your community.
- 16:27Speaker 10: Well, I think that we've got in a few ways.
- 16:31Speaker 10: I think the first thing is we right now. We've
- 16:34Speaker 10: got widows and orphans. We've got people have been brutally
- 16:40Speaker 10: murdered in cold blood, including some of my dearest friends.
- 16:43Speaker 10: They need to be buried, Their families need to keep
- 16:45Speaker 10: paying the rent and keep the lights on. So firstly,
- 16:48Speaker 10: there's been a campaign which a fundraising campaign which has
- 16:50Speaker 10: been launched on a website charity c h A r
- 16:54Speaker 10: I D y D not with the T but with
- 16:56Speaker 10: the D charity dot com forward Slash Support Sydney. Charity
- 17:00Speaker 10: dot com for Slash supports Sydney and that's an opportunity
- 17:03Speaker 10: for any Australian to pop on that website and go
- 17:06Speaker 10: and support the victims' families and help them be able
- 17:09Speaker 10: to move forward. So that's on one level. On another level,
- 17:13Speaker 10: we're seeing it bright behind me. We see so many
- 17:16Speaker 10: Australians coming together of all faiths. I mean I were
- 17:19Speaker 10: earlier today we laid some flowers together with the archbishop,
- 17:22Speaker 10: the Anglican Archbishop of Sydney, who came and was really
- 17:26Speaker 10: really earnest in his friendship. I got a call from
- 17:30Speaker 10: the AmAm of Preston Mosque who was devastated and said
- 17:33Speaker 10: his people are devastated. It's when people of all fates
- 17:36Speaker 10: and all colors come together, which is what's happening right
- 17:39Speaker 10: behind me. Now, come together in love and come together
- 17:42Speaker 10: in friendship' that's when the miracle happens. And as I
- 17:45Speaker 10: said to so many people today, you know, we may
- 17:48Speaker 10: have different faiths and different beliefs, and we may have
- 17:50Speaker 10: different colors of our skin, whether it's white, yellow or black,
- 17:53Speaker 10: but the color of our soul is the same for
- 17:55Speaker 10: each of us. We're all created in the image of God.
- 18:00Speaker 2: Seeing a hardening though when you talk about resilience, we're
- 18:03Speaker 2: seeing a hardening of the attitudes of a broad spread
- 18:08Speaker 2: of the Australian population against the government and what they perceive,
- 18:12Speaker 2: and I think rightly so to be a lack of
- 18:15Speaker 2: action by anti Semitism, well, I think.
- 18:20Speaker 10: I think there's deep, deep disappointment in the Australian community
- 18:24Speaker 10: that the recommendations of Julian Singel have yet to be adopted.
- 18:29Speaker 10: They've been there for a long time and they still
- 18:31Speaker 10: haven't been adopted, and there's been excuses of waiting for
- 18:33Speaker 10: this report, waiting for that report. The Istralian people don't
- 18:35Speaker 10: need excuses. We need action by.
- 18:43Speaker 3: Please please, please, thank you please. Yeah.
- 18:48Speaker 10: I think the action is important not just in fighting evil,
- 18:52Speaker 10: but also in increasing in good. I mean, Kunaka is
- 18:54Speaker 10: about light behind me. They're about to light the candles,
- 18:58Speaker 10: and we need to increase in light and good and
- 19:00Speaker 10: that means that we're going to combat antisemitism, not just
- 19:03Speaker 10: by rooting out the evil and rooting out hate speech,
- 19:07Speaker 10: which is just done the name of free speech. But
- 19:13Speaker 10: I think also to focus on education and teaching people
- 19:17Speaker 10: from a very young age that we've got to think
- 19:19Speaker 10: good thoughts about other people and say good things and
- 19:21Speaker 10: that will lead to good actions. And I think that's
- 19:23Speaker 10: the education needs to be out there starting through the
- 19:26Speaker 10: education system, all the way through through our society. We
- 19:29Speaker 10: need to come together in unity and in love. As
- 19:32Speaker 10: you see behind me. Let's make this happen. That's the
- 19:34Speaker 10: Australia I know and love as a proud Australian, and
- 19:37Speaker 10: I want to keep being proud of.
- 19:38Speaker 2: Our country, beautifully, said Rabbi. I'll leave you there for
- 19:42Speaker 2: the ceremony you're about to start. Thank you, Rabbi Filman
- 19:45Speaker 2: there from one night. All right, let's go down to
- 19:48Speaker 2: some of the political fallout today, joining me as SKA
- 19:50Speaker 2: new political letter to Andrew Cleanell Andrew welcome. We saw
- 19:54Speaker 2: yesterday a series of meetings. There was the initial cab
- 19:57Speaker 2: that meeting at eleven o'clock. There was obviously an end
- 19:59Speaker 2: of c meeting security meeting. Then there was National Cabinet
- 20:03Speaker 2: four o'clock, largely focused, certainly in the outward communicate on
- 20:08Speaker 2: gun law reform. Fair enough, you know, I'm one of
- 20:11Speaker 2: those that were shocked. The gunman had six registered firearms.
- 20:16Speaker 2: But I'm reading this as labor desperately trying to make
- 20:20Speaker 2: it an issue about gun law control and reform and
- 20:24Speaker 2: less about bearing any responsibility for a lack of action
- 20:28Speaker 2: on anti semitism.
- 20:30Speaker 1: Oh sure, probably. I mean I'm not even sure they
- 20:34Speaker 1: were doing gun law reform until Chris Mins said he
- 20:37Speaker 1: was going to Peter to be frank with you, and
- 20:39Speaker 1: then suddenly Anthony I went easy, did a second pressor
- 20:42Speaker 1: for the day where he said he was going to
- 20:43Speaker 1: look at that. So I think they've been caught really
- 20:47Speaker 1: short on the response. I don't think the PM so
- 20:50Speaker 1: far has met the moment. I think chris Min's kind
- 20:53Speaker 1: of has and look as I today, can I just
- 20:58Speaker 1: say that as a reporter today with the National Cabinet,
- 21:01Speaker 1: David chris a Fully, the Queensland Premier, said oh, hang on,
- 21:05Speaker 1: this is the you know, the draft all about gun law.
- 21:09Speaker 1: There's only one paragraph about anti semitism. What are we
- 21:12Speaker 1: doing about antisemitism? And another leader joined him in asking
- 21:16Speaker 1: that question, and after that, I believe it was there
- 21:19Speaker 1: was a bit more focus put on that. Now Anthony
- 21:22Speaker 1: Abeneze has denied the Australian story on that in terms
- 21:25Speaker 1: of the document draft document, but that information led me
- 21:28Speaker 1: to find out this other information, so there's certainly got
- 21:30Speaker 1: to be some truth to it. My understanding is chris
- 21:33Speaker 1: Fully did say that he didn't deny it. And that
- 21:37Speaker 1: really shows the government's court short on this issue. Again, Well,
- 21:40Speaker 1: what Anthony Abenese he has to do to lead this
- 21:44Speaker 1: nation on this is to forget about his mistakes, and
- 21:47Speaker 1: he has made mistakes, but say, you know, now, let's
- 21:52Speaker 1: have a real go with this. Let's not worry about
- 21:53Speaker 1: Muslim votes and electorates because there probably, in fact, I'm
- 21:57Speaker 1: sure there are plenty of Muslims like Ahmet ol Hamad
- 22:00Speaker 1: who don't want these characters doing this sort of stuff.
- 22:03Speaker 1: And you just win all voters over if you show
- 22:05Speaker 1: a bit more strength and strong reassuring language. And we
- 22:09Speaker 1: just haven't seen that from the PM at all.
- 22:13Speaker 2: I haven't heard him use the term Islamist terrorist Andrew
- 22:17Speaker 2: of you.
- 22:19Speaker 1: No, but it's not even that. I mean, where's the anger, Like,
- 22:22Speaker 1: I'm sitting here, it is, I'm sitting here right now,
- 22:25Speaker 1: and there's no anger at these two perpetrators in his
- 22:29Speaker 1: public statements. Just all, let's have a hug. You know,
- 22:34Speaker 1: where's the condemnation? You know, Like it's just like he's
- 22:38Speaker 1: kind of a bit shell shocked. To me, he just
- 22:40Speaker 1: needs to step up here.
- 22:44Speaker 2: I'd argue that he's completely out of his depth. I mean,
- 22:46Speaker 2: I think John Howard made a whole lot of points
- 22:48Speaker 2: today himself obviously having to deal with a national crisis
- 22:54Speaker 2: similar but very different from this. Of course, this is coordinated.
- 22:58Speaker 2: We are now seeing what appear to be a deep
- 23:01Speaker 2: links into a range of Islamist organizations, whether it's the
- 23:07Speaker 2: Darwist Center in Sydney and the hate preacher, they're connected
- 23:09Speaker 2: to the to the younger killer, whether it's the trip
- 23:13Speaker 2: to the Philippines and the ISSIS flags. I mean, I
- 23:16Speaker 2: could go on focus for me if you can though
- 23:19Speaker 2: on on I guess the contrast you mentioned Chris Mins.
- 23:23Speaker 2: The contrast between Chris Mins, he seems across his brief
- 23:28Speaker 2: he's anticipating some of the commentary from the police, the
- 23:32Speaker 2: Prime Minister. You know, yes, he went and visited someone
- 23:35Speaker 2: in hospital today and he laid some flowers yesterday. It
- 23:39Speaker 2: doesn't appear to me to be in command of the
- 23:42Speaker 2: detail the national security implications here and what already looked
- 23:47Speaker 2: to me as some oversights by ASIOH. He's very different
- 23:52Speaker 2: from Min's in how he's handling this crisis, isn't.
- 23:55Speaker 1: He bil there's a yes Minister aspect, there isn't there?
- 23:59Speaker 1: But I mean the initial advice to the senior politicians
- 24:04Speaker 1: where these were like two lone wolves, and now we've
- 24:06Speaker 1: got the Philippines training angle, and you know these are
- 24:10Speaker 1: best for our agencies to look at. I mean even
- 24:13Speaker 1: the AFP said inspired bias is not necessarily sanctioned biases.
- 24:17Speaker 1: But they need to find out what happened in the Philippines.
- 24:20Speaker 1: It's not looking great. Manhoum Monas, by the way, was
- 24:23Speaker 1: a lone wolf and had nicest flag. So there you go.
- 24:25Speaker 1: But yeah, I just think, you know, maybe you've got
- 24:29Speaker 1: to even throw your agency under a bus on occasion
- 24:32Speaker 1: day you've got to say, well, clearly this, I mean,
- 24:35Speaker 1: this is what he doesn't want to say, which he
- 24:37Speaker 1: needs to say. So Chris Minz has said, clearly, in hindsight,
- 24:40Speaker 1: we should have had more cops down there with bigger guns, right,
- 24:43Speaker 1: I mean, it's just a statement of the obvious. Anthtery
- 24:45Speaker 1: Albiteazi should say clearly, in hindsight, Asio should have kept
- 24:49Speaker 1: looking at this guy, and we should have had laws
- 24:52Speaker 1: which meant that people on an Azio watch list don't
- 24:55Speaker 1: get a gun. It's pretty easy to say no one's
- 24:58Speaker 1: going to have a go at Anthony ho Uneasy and
- 25:00Speaker 1: say it's all your fault if he says that. Instead,
- 25:03Speaker 1: he seems so worried about stuffing up Peter, that he
- 25:08Speaker 1: is stuffing up if you follow what I'm saying. He's
- 25:12Speaker 1: so nervous about saying the wrong thing that he's not
- 25:15Speaker 1: saying much at all, and therefore he's not meeting the moment.
- 25:21Speaker 2: That's because Andrew, my read is that he's trying to
- 25:24Speaker 2: straddle being a prime minister for Australians here and not
- 25:29Speaker 2: offending a voting block in Western City, in both Tony.
- 25:33Speaker 3: Burke and others. Well, do you think that that is faired?
- 25:37Speaker 1: Do you think I think it's possible. I'm not going
- 25:41Speaker 1: to go as far as to say it's fair because
- 25:43Speaker 1: I'm not in his head, but I think it's possible.
- 25:45Speaker 1: And all I will say is if that's in the case.
- 25:47Speaker 1: If that is the case, that is crazy. You know,
- 25:50Speaker 1: John Howard went against his base with the gun control
- 25:54Speaker 1: stuff against the Nationals. Had to put on a you know,
- 25:58Speaker 1: a vest, a bullet proof vest. You know, you've got
- 26:01Speaker 1: to show courage in politics or what's the point. And
- 26:05Speaker 1: if that means going and gets your constituency when it's right,
- 26:08Speaker 1: that's what you need to do. Peter. If you're a
- 26:10Speaker 1: true leader.
- 26:13Speaker 2: You've certainly got more passion there at the moment than
- 26:15Speaker 2: the prime misters had in the last two days. Andrew Clew,
- 26:18Speaker 2: thank you. After the great confirmation about the ISIS flags
- 26:22Speaker 2: and other questions about ISIS lenks, We'll get to that
- 26:26Speaker 2: with one of our security experts. Plus and you're hasty
- 26:29Speaker 2: on his devan for a serious debate and immigration in
- 26:31Speaker 2: the wake.
- 26:31Speaker 3: Of his terror attack. Welcome back.
- 26:38Speaker 2: As I've already referenced at the top of the program,
- 26:41Speaker 2: details emerged today about the two alleged terrorists and their
- 26:44Speaker 2: potential links to Islamic State.
- 26:48Speaker 4: I can confirm that they did travel to the Philippines.
- 26:51Speaker 4: The reasons why they went to the Philippines and the
- 26:54Speaker 4: purpose of that and where they went when they were
- 26:57Speaker 4: there is under investigation at the moment. I also confirmed
- 27:01Speaker 4: that the vehicle, which is registered to the younger male,
- 27:06Speaker 4: contained IEDs, but I also confirmed that it contained two
- 27:10Speaker 4: homemade ISIS flags.
- 27:12Speaker 5: Early indications point to a terrorist attack inspired by Islamic State,
- 27:17Speaker 5: allegedly committed by a father and son.
- 27:21Speaker 3: Join me now.
- 27:22Speaker 2: Former Australian Federal Police Detective Superintendent David Craig and just
- 27:27Speaker 2: so view as I know I don't often have a
- 27:29Speaker 2: guest on a repeat program show like this, but David
- 27:34Speaker 2: Craig has led multiple joint counter terrors of.
- 27:37Speaker 3: Task forces in Australia.
- 27:39Speaker 2: They of course made up of state territory police as
- 27:41Speaker 2: well as ASIO intelligence officers, which makes his insights incredibly important.
- 27:48Speaker 3: Greig, thank you David.
- 27:50Speaker 2: This trip to the Philippines, the guns, the homemade ice
- 27:53Speaker 2: as flags. How on earth, given the history of the
- 27:57Speaker 2: sun Red flagged back in twenty nine nineteen, why did
- 28:02Speaker 2: no alarm bells go off inside any of our agencies?
- 28:09Speaker 13: I think, Peter, we first have to understand how these
- 28:12Speaker 13: assessments are actually made. So back in twenty nineteen there
- 28:16Speaker 13: may not have actually been a threat. I've been a
- 28:18Speaker 13: part of these assessments and people work very hard. They
- 28:22Speaker 13: know if they get it wrong, people die, and on
- 28:25Speaker 13: this occasion that's happened. But I would hope that we're
- 28:28Speaker 13: not going to go back and point fingers at mistakes
- 28:31Speaker 13: where because I don't think Mark Burgess can even predict,
- 28:34Speaker 13: you know, someone's behavior in six years time. However, when
- 28:38Speaker 13: they departed the country, it should have been raised as
- 28:41Speaker 13: an alert and they could have been spoken to on
- 28:44Speaker 13: the way back, their luggage could have been searched, we
- 28:46Speaker 13: would know more about it and that would have been proactive.
- 28:50Speaker 13: So that was the trip. Why that I say we
- 28:53Speaker 13: missed because if they were ever a concern that they
- 28:55Speaker 13: were related to Islamic State, we should always know if
- 28:59Speaker 13: they are leaving the country free or their associates are
- 29:01Speaker 13: coming here.
- 29:03Speaker 2: Yeah, and explain to my audience why the Philippines is
- 29:07Speaker 2: of such interest in this area.
- 29:09Speaker 13: Sure, the Southern Philippines has been a hotbed of training
- 29:12Speaker 13: for morrow Islamic Liberation Front for since the seventies. Jamara's
- 29:17Speaker 13: Lamir sent operatives there from Indonesia. They had their Mantiqi
- 29:22Speaker 13: for which was their train arm of Jamara's Lamir. Al
- 29:26Speaker 13: Qaeda had training camps there as well. It's a hot
- 29:29Speaker 13: bed of terrorist expertise. I don't know that these two
- 29:34Speaker 13: went there to holiday for a month together a father
- 29:37Speaker 13: and son. I would like to know what they did there,
- 29:40Speaker 13: and I'm sure we'll get the answers, but it would
- 29:42Speaker 13: have been nice to know on their way back to
- 29:44Speaker 13: the country or before warned by an alert of at
- 29:47Speaker 13: least the sun leaving would have given agencies an edge
- 29:52Speaker 13: to get ahead of.
- 29:52Speaker 2: This there's a lot of reporting today though on the
- 29:57Speaker 2: back of this, given the number of terrorists, convicted terrorists
- 30:01Speaker 2: have been released with control orders into the Australian community,
- 30:05Speaker 2: some without control orders, the number of young radicalized youth
- 30:09Speaker 2: that the agencies are watching over carefully. Part of the
- 30:14Speaker 2: reason why this may not have been done, it's been
- 30:18Speaker 2: put out there in the media today, is just not enough.
- 30:21Speaker 3: Resourcing for our agencies. How fair is that point?
- 30:28Speaker 13: Look, I have to say, Peter, I think that that
- 30:31Speaker 13: is a fair statement, but I don't know what enough
- 30:34Speaker 13: resourcing actually looks like. So the AFP or the Joint
- 30:37Speaker 13: can Terrorism Teams, they get information, they investigate it, but
- 30:40Speaker 13: if there's not some criminal advocacy or some acts in
- 30:44Speaker 13: preparation of a terrorist attack, there's no crime for them
- 30:47Speaker 13: to investigate. It's no longer a police matter. So that
- 30:49Speaker 13: gets packaged up and sent to ASIO and then that
- 30:52Speaker 13: sits in their lap.
- 30:54Speaker 15: Now there's a.
- 30:54Speaker 13: Lot of those cases. Police identify risks regularly in these
- 30:57Speaker 13: investigations that aren't criminal, but their risks. So there's a
- 31:01Speaker 13: big burden worn bi ASIO here, and I don't know
- 31:04Speaker 13: how much resourcing we can give them, but we can
- 31:06Speaker 13: certainly look at copying some of the laws in the UK.
- 31:10Speaker 13: Some of their practices have proven to be very good
- 31:12Speaker 13: and I would like to see that done as well
- 31:14Speaker 13: as the resourcing.
- 31:14Speaker 2: Of course, David, we've got hisberteria that are not outlawed
- 31:20Speaker 2: in Australia. They are in a number of Western countries overseas.
- 31:24Speaker 2: We've got, of course, the younger Bondai suspect, Navid Akram
- 31:29Speaker 2: Links today confirmed the radical preacher with some huddard Our
- 31:34Speaker 2: showed clips on the program before some of the hate
- 31:36Speaker 2: he has spewed from the pulpit at an Islamic center
- 31:41Speaker 2: in Sydney, and surely all of that added to a
- 31:45Speaker 2: video from twenty nineteen showing that he's handing out pamphlets
- 31:49Speaker 2: for the Dawa movement. This is the one obviously that
- 31:52Speaker 2: with hud is evolved in putting all of this together.
- 31:56Speaker 2: We have a problem in this country, don't we, with
- 31:59Speaker 2: rad call Islamic preachers.
- 32:03Speaker 13: Definitely, we've got a problem with that. And these are
- 32:07Speaker 13: slippery fish. These are evil people that are working in
- 32:10Speaker 13: the gray areas. So you know the street Dawar on
- 32:13Speaker 13: the front, it should just be an invitation to come
- 32:15Speaker 13: and talk about religion, and I think everyone should be
- 32:18Speaker 13: entitled to that, but it's what happens once they're invited
- 32:21Speaker 13: and where they're invited to. And your point about Husbuotteria
- 32:24Speaker 13: is very valid. I mean this is very different to
- 32:26Speaker 13: street Dal, which is just a method of recruiting people
- 32:30Speaker 13: to Islam. Huzbookteria are a globally recognized revolutionary Islamic organization.
- 32:36Speaker 13: They say they don't support violence, but they want global gad.
- 32:40Speaker 13: They talk despisingly about the Jews. They want a global caliphate.
- 32:45Speaker 13: They explicitly want revolution. Now they should be banned in Australia.
- 32:50Speaker 13: Why aren't they I don't know. But last month they
- 32:52Speaker 13: had a meeting in Chris Burke's own electorate, publicly available
- 32:57Speaker 13: people could attend, and at the time when we spoke Peter,
- 33:00Speaker 13: I thought it would be good if he went and
- 33:01Speaker 13: listened to what they have to say, because what they're
- 33:04Speaker 13: having to say publicly and what they say on the
- 33:06Speaker 13: sidelines are probably two very different things.
- 33:12Speaker 2: Well over there in Tony Burk's own electric they had
- 33:14Speaker 2: their many thank you, David, let's go out of the
- 33:17Speaker 2: broader issue around all of this, and that's immigration. Even
- 33:21Speaker 2: before the terror attack on Sunday, Liberal MP Andrew Hasty
- 33:24Speaker 2: has been very vocal about the implications of an open
- 33:27Speaker 2: door policy where the values of would be migrants are
- 33:31Speaker 2: in direct opposition to those of our free, pluralist and
- 33:35Speaker 2: democratic country. Andrew Hasty joins me now, Andrew, welcome to
- 33:39Speaker 2: the program. I mean you have been outspoken for many,
- 33:43Speaker 2: many months about the need to have a feedingham national
- 33:46Speaker 2: debate in this country about immigration, not just the quantum,
- 33:51Speaker 2: not just the number of people we bring to this country,
- 33:54Speaker 2: but who we bring and what their values are and
- 33:57Speaker 2: whether they are in conflict with ours. Is this finally
- 34:01Speaker 2: a wake up call to have that debate?
- 34:05Speaker 16: Good evening, Peter. I think it is a wake up call,
- 34:08Speaker 16: and it's a violent wake up call, sadly for fifteen
- 34:12Speaker 16: murdered Australians, their families and friends. I think at the
- 34:15Speaker 16: heart of all of this is that theology has public consequences,
- 34:19Speaker 16: and radical Islamic theology has violent consequences. It encourages people
- 34:24Speaker 16: to withdraw from Australian society, encourages people to think of
- 34:28Speaker 16: believers and infidels. It doesn't recognize secular authority like the parliaments,
- 34:33Speaker 16: the courts or the police. It encourages genders, aggregation, and
- 34:36Speaker 16: it legitimizes and normalizes violence in the pursuit of religious aims.
- 34:40Speaker 16: So we have a problem with radical Islamic theology. And
- 34:45Speaker 16: I think one of the areas that we really need
- 34:47Speaker 16: to look at is immigration. And numbers are one thing,
- 34:50Speaker 16: but I think who we bring into our country is
- 34:52Speaker 16: really important. They have to sign up to Australian values,
- 34:55Speaker 16: which are fundamentally Judeo Christian values. Equality, the rule of law, consent,
- 35:01Speaker 16: democratic traditions, all those things are fundamentally Judaeo Christian. And
- 35:05Speaker 16: I think what we're seeing is that radical Islamic theology
- 35:08Speaker 16: is completely incompatible with the Australian achievement. As John Howard
- 35:12Speaker 16: calls it.
- 35:14Speaker 3: I was watching the Prime Minister I have for the
- 35:16Speaker 3: last couple of days. I've watched every.
- 35:17Speaker 2: Single press conference, as been three or four press conferences
- 35:21Speaker 2: a day, and not once has he used the term
- 35:24Speaker 2: radical Islam or Islam or Islamerston. I checked my reckoning
- 35:29Speaker 2: with Andrew Klenew. He also agreed, does that surprise you?
- 35:33Speaker 16: I'm not surprised. I think it's a failure of leadership
- 35:36Speaker 16: by the Prime minister. He has to be grounded in reality,
- 35:39Speaker 16: as he leads the nation out of this dark valley.
- 35:42Speaker 16: And the first thing he needs to do is to
- 35:44Speaker 16: be honest and truthful about why this attack occurred. It
- 35:48Speaker 16: was because two people were radicalized by a very extreme
- 35:53Speaker 16: form of Islam that encouraged them to take up guns
- 35:56Speaker 16: and shoot innocent Jewish Australians during Parniker Festival down at
- 36:01Speaker 16: Bondi Beach. And until he does that, he's missed the mark.
- 36:06Speaker 16: And I also think he needs to lead ground in
- 36:08Speaker 16: Australian values. He needs to articulate who we are as
- 36:10Speaker 16: a country, what we stand for and what we oppose.
- 36:13Speaker 16: And finally he's got to have a bias for action.
- 36:16Speaker 16: There are forty nine recommendations that Jillian Sieagull made. He
- 36:19Speaker 16: can take those up tomorrow and get on with it.
- 36:22Speaker 16: And if he has to recall the National Parliament, well
- 36:24Speaker 16: then let's go where I'll get on the next flight
- 36:26Speaker 16: to canber to make sure that we protect Jewish Australians.
- 36:29Speaker 16: There are a number of other things to do, but
- 36:31Speaker 16: he can start with that report by Miss Siegel.
- 36:35Speaker 2: Are you concerned that at the National Cabinet yesterday there
- 36:39Speaker 2: was no debate about much in relation to Jillian Seagull's report.
- 36:44Speaker 2: In fact, it wasn't even discussed, it wasn't named in
- 36:47Speaker 2: the room. The debate was, and I call this sort
- 36:50Speaker 2: of a switch game. The debate was about gun reform.
- 36:54Speaker 2: Now you've fired a gun in a professional sense as
- 36:57Speaker 2: a soldier, And yes, I do think that the gun
- 37:00Speaker 2: reform is a valid debate to have, but it is
- 37:03Speaker 2: the motivation behind the killers. It's what they did with
- 37:05Speaker 2: those guns on the weekend that we cannot lose sight of.
- 37:09Speaker 2: My fear as a prime minister wants to make this
- 37:12Speaker 2: about gun reform, he wants to try and get the
- 37:15Speaker 2: coalition to fight with its farmers and fight amongst itself
- 37:19Speaker 2: because that will give him cover from having to deal
- 37:22Speaker 2: with his derogation of duty over the last two and
- 37:25Speaker 2: a half years.
- 37:27Speaker 16: That's my concern, and it's a valid concern, Peter, because
- 37:30Speaker 16: the issue here is antisemitism, and the wellspring of that
- 37:34Speaker 16: antisemittism is radical Islamic theology, which motivated these two shooters.
- 37:40Speaker 16: And so until he acknowledges that and deals with that,
- 37:43Speaker 16: we're not going to make any headway. And to talk
- 37:44Speaker 16: about gun reform. Sure, we can talk about gun reform,
- 37:47Speaker 16: but it's to completely miss the mark. And he's had
- 37:50Speaker 16: two years. We saw the ugly face of antisemitism on
- 37:54Speaker 16: the steps of the Opera House two years ago. We've
- 37:57Speaker 16: had a number of incidents. The data points are all
- 38:00Speaker 16: there over the last two years. He's just got to
- 38:02Speaker 16: wake up. He's got to acknowledge the reality. He's got
- 38:05Speaker 16: to lead from a position of strength and values, and
- 38:08Speaker 16: he's got to have a bias for action and protect
- 38:10Speaker 16: not just Jewish Australians but all the strains because this
- 38:13Speaker 16: affects us all.
- 38:16Speaker 2: Are we going to see the coalition Andrew with a
- 38:18Speaker 2: lot of your pushing and shoving, and we've got to
- 38:20Speaker 2: see them step up to the mark on the arguments
- 38:22Speaker 2: you've just put so eloquently tonight in relation to an
- 38:24Speaker 2: immigration I.
- 38:26Speaker 16: Hope so, because on the Coalition backbenches we're going to
- 38:30Speaker 16: make the arguments regardless. So we need to move as
- 38:33Speaker 16: a team. We need to be unified. This is a
- 38:36Speaker 16: moment where Australians across the country are calling out for
- 38:39Speaker 16: leadership and plane speaking, everyone can see what happened on Sunday.
- 38:45Speaker 16: We don't need to cloak it in language of platitude.
- 38:50Speaker 16: We actually need to get on with the job, and
- 38:52Speaker 16: people expect action from their political leaders.
- 38:55Speaker 2: Well from someone who has worn the uniform to fight
- 38:58Speaker 2: against radical isla.
- 39:00Speaker 3: Thank you, Andrew Hasty. Right, let's go to a quick break.
- 39:04Speaker 2: After the break, we've got john Nis with a panel
- 39:06Speaker 2: with a whole other blow coming up. Don't mean now
- 39:13Speaker 2: for my panel One Nation Chief of Staff James Ashby
- 39:16Speaker 2: and senior fellow at the MENSIS Recent Center, Nick Kator.
- 39:19Speaker 3: Well, James, I'll start up with you. Your boss was straight.
- 39:22Speaker 2: Out of the gates. Is terror unfolded on Sunday night.
- 39:26Speaker 2: I think her statement was one of the strongest that
- 39:30Speaker 2: we have had since this terror attack. She's worn for
- 39:34Speaker 2: a long time about mass immigration, Islamic extremism. She's even
- 39:39Speaker 2: been concerned about multiculturalism because she says we have one
- 39:45Speaker 2: Australian culture. We can have many cultures underneath it, but
- 39:48Speaker 2: we can't be multicultural. We must have an Australian culture.
- 39:53Speaker 2: I noticed she was at Bondi at the vigil today.
- 39:57Speaker 3: How was she received?
- 40:02Speaker 7: Look, I wasn't there. Peter and Pauline made it very
- 40:04Speaker 7: clear she didn't want a spectacle and therefore she said
- 40:07Speaker 7: no staff. She wanted to go down with Barnaby Joyce
- 40:10Speaker 7: and she made the phone call to the former head
- 40:13Speaker 7: of the Jewish Council here in Australia, David Adler, who
- 40:16Speaker 7: accompanied the two of them today and according to media reports,
- 40:21Speaker 7: I haven't had a chance to speak to Pauline today.
- 40:24Speaker 7: She was not in the mood really to pick up
- 40:27Speaker 7: on what she experienced. I know that she had a
- 40:30Speaker 7: lot of dark feelings about going there to start with,
- 40:34Speaker 7: but according to the media today, she was the most
- 40:38Speaker 7: well received politician out of all that have been there,
- 40:41Speaker 7: and for obvious reasons, she has stood strong behind the
- 40:44Speaker 7: Jewish community, not just in Australia but right across the
- 40:47Speaker 7: globe since that October seven, devastating attack on Israel, and
- 40:53Speaker 7: since the weekly protests, the march is here, the pro
- 40:56Speaker 7: Palestinian marches, since the horrible slurs that have been screamed
- 41:01Speaker 7: from our universities, and since the attack from clerics from
- 41:06Speaker 7: some of those mosques around Australia as well. When this
- 41:09Speaker 7: government did nothing, Pauline Hansen was the only leader in
- 41:13Speaker 7: the country to send strong beside our Jewish community and
- 41:17Speaker 7: our friends.
- 41:21Speaker 2: Former Prime Minister Malcolm Termol used to represent the seat
- 41:23Speaker 2: of we Worth, of course, in Bondai was part of his.
- 41:26Speaker 3: Area, nick Cata. He was down there and I listened
- 41:29Speaker 3: to his comments.
- 41:31Speaker 2: He was eloquent about his support for Jewish Australians, but
- 41:34Speaker 2: it was all about hugs and love, and he made
- 41:36Speaker 2: a remark that it's almost impossible as a leader of
- 41:39Speaker 2: a country to prevent a determined terrorism.
- 41:43Speaker 3: Something like that was his line.
- 41:45Speaker 2: He also had a crack and Benjamin Netanya, who have
- 41:49Speaker 2: a listen.
- 41:50Speaker 9: I would respectfully say to Bibby Netanya, who please stay
- 41:56Speaker 9: out of our politics. If you've got that kind of
- 41:59Speaker 9: commentary to make, you are not helping. I know Nahou,
- 42:03Speaker 9: I know him pretty well actually, and look I understand
- 42:06Speaker 9: where he's coming from, his passion and so forth. But
- 42:09Speaker 9: this is not helping and it's not right.
- 42:13Speaker 2: I make the point though, that this is the second
- 42:15Speaker 2: deadliest and is Semitic attack against Jewish communities outside of
- 42:19Speaker 2: Israel in the post Holocaust era. Let's have a look
- 42:23Speaker 2: at those horrific statistics on the screen. I mean, Malcolm
- 42:27Speaker 2: Turmile can say what he likes, but Vivinette Yahoo is
- 42:30Speaker 2: absolutely entitled, as the leader of our only Jewish state
- 42:35Speaker 2: on the planet, to speak up in defense of Jews.
- 42:39Speaker 2: Slaughtered even if they are overseas dictator.
- 42:44Speaker 17: Yes exactly. He's a Prime Minister of Israel. If he
- 42:46Speaker 17: hasn't got a right to speak on this, who has.
- 42:49Speaker 17: I think it is a very odd comment from Malcolm Termal.
- 42:51Speaker 17: He should have just left that right out. I think
- 42:53Speaker 17: the Prime Minister was right. Bendes now who was right
- 42:57Speaker 17: to criticize the Albanes because they have allowed this to come.
- 43:03Speaker 17: They have not stamped down on anti Semitism. They have
- 43:06Speaker 17: not had a zero tolerance approach to antisemitism, which is
- 43:09Speaker 17: what we need. So I think every Australian, every Australian
- 43:13Speaker 17: would agree with that, and every Australian would also agree.
- 43:17Speaker 17: I think with Pauline Hanson that we need one culture.
- 43:20Speaker 17: That's the problem with multiculturalism sort of go out's permission
- 43:24Speaker 17: to some people to sort of do their own thing. Well,
- 43:26Speaker 17: that won't happen. And I'm out in Western Sydney at
- 43:28Speaker 17: the moment. People around here, including many Muslims, they are
- 43:32Speaker 17: as furious as anybody else at this because they believe
- 43:36Speaker 17: this is not the Australian which they came to and
- 43:38Speaker 17: they want people to play by the rules, to love
- 43:41Speaker 17: thy neighbor as thyself.
- 43:44Speaker 3: I played a.
- 43:45Speaker 2: Little bit of this at the time of the show
- 43:46Speaker 2: James Ashby about a moment live on ABC television where
- 43:50Speaker 2: a Jewish Australian woman she was the daughter of someone
- 43:53Speaker 2: injured in the attack, really took the ABC head on.
- 43:56Speaker 3: Have a listen. ABC.
- 43:59Speaker 11: I've got to say, will you cut out the bias reporting.
- 44:06Speaker 14: Mainstream media?
- 44:07Speaker 3: We feel?
- 44:07Speaker 18: We yeah?
- 44:08Speaker 3: Will you? Will you cut it out?
- 44:09Speaker 11: Will you actually let us have a voice?
- 44:14Speaker 7: James Ashby, Yeah, how tragic that a member of the
- 44:20Speaker 7: public has to call the ABC out. We have been
- 44:23Speaker 7: trying to for a very long time. I know your
- 44:25Speaker 7: coalition partners have I know that Malcolm Roberts, Paul Enhanson
- 44:29Speaker 7: had for many years saying that the ABC should be
- 44:32Speaker 7: held to account in Senate estimates and on the floor
- 44:35Speaker 7: of Parliament. But what has Labor done? Nothing about it?
- 44:39Speaker 7: The reality is, Peter, we have fifteen innocent lives left.
- 44:44Speaker 7: Can we just get one thing straight in the media?
- 44:46Speaker 7: And I say this to all media, fifteen innocent lives,
- 44:51Speaker 7: one terrorist dead. Stop putting them together, because you know
- 44:55Speaker 7: this bloke was a bastard who deserved to die for
- 44:59Speaker 7: the actions in which he conducted. Over our weekend slaughtering
- 45:03Speaker 7: fifteen Australians, innocent Australians, so stop putting them together. The
- 45:07Speaker 7: ABC need to realize that there are still bodies sitting
- 45:10Speaker 7: in the morgue that cannot be officially identified because the
- 45:14Speaker 7: gunshot wounds are that disastrous that people cannot and we're
- 45:18Speaker 7: talking family cannot identify their loved ones properly. These are
- 45:23Speaker 7: not being reported on the ABC. They fail to mutter
- 45:26Speaker 7: the words Islamic terrorism. They fail to acknowledge the fact
- 45:32Speaker 7: that we have a problem in this country that so
- 45:34Speaker 7: many people are willing to speak about at the bar
- 45:38Speaker 7: or in their own homes. But for some reason, our
- 45:41Speaker 7: media are petrified to be able to speak openly and honestly,
- 45:45Speaker 7: and that includes networks like yours. And I don't blame
- 45:49Speaker 7: Sky for not wanting to have the discussion so openly,
- 45:51Speaker 7: because why labor keep threatening threatening networks with their licenses.
- 45:58Speaker 7: Enough with it, We've got to have an open, honest conversation.
- 46:01Speaker 7: If it's good enough to have conversations about other problems
- 46:05Speaker 7: in the country, this one has to be front and
- 46:07Speaker 7: center because if you keep sweeping it under the rug,
- 46:11Speaker 7: nothing will be resolved. And that is all one nation
- 46:13Speaker 7: ever ever asked, We've got to watch the types of
- 46:16Speaker 7: people coming into this came Are you open honest conversation.
- 46:22Speaker 3: We have that conversation here.
- 46:23Speaker 2: We had that conversation about radical Islam, We had that
- 46:26Speaker 2: conversation about the treatment of women, and we certainly have
- 46:29Speaker 2: that conversation about not just how many come to Australia,
- 46:33Speaker 2: but who they are that we allow onto our shores.
- 46:36Speaker 2: I'll leave it there, Thank you, gentlemen, Thank you both. Right,
- 46:39Speaker 2: quick break after the break is a question for John
- 46:41Speaker 2: anders In here is this the line in the sand?
- 46:44Speaker 3: Is this the end? Will we start to get our
- 46:47Speaker 3: country back?
- 46:48Speaker 2: Or are we just managing our decline? Welcome back, Johinmen
- 46:57Speaker 2: now on the Bondai Terra attack, Former Deputy Prime ministaff
- 47:00Speaker 2: on the National Party leader John Anderson. John I posed
- 47:04Speaker 2: a question going into the break. Are the events of Sunday,
- 47:08Speaker 2: the death of fifteen innocents kill because they were Jewish,
- 47:13Speaker 2: killed by the authorities would say people linked to isis
- 47:17Speaker 2: islamist terrorists. Is this a line in the sand now
- 47:22Speaker 2: that Australians will start to fight ordinary Australians fight to
- 47:26Speaker 2: get their country back, or are we now headed down
- 47:31Speaker 2: a terrible path where we are just managing our decline.
- 47:37Speaker 15: Well, that depends a very great deal on whether the
- 47:39Speaker 15: Prime Minister can find understanding, conviction and courage. We are
- 47:45Speaker 15: at a civilizational moment the West is You and I
- 47:48Speaker 15: have talked about that at the moment in the past.
- 47:50Speaker 18: Really critical to note though, in relation to gun laws,
- 47:53Speaker 18: the difference between nineteen ninety six, we were facing a
- 47:57Speaker 18: culture where out of suburbs who are a lot of
- 47:59Speaker 18: guns are being used.
- 48:01Speaker 15: I could see them shooting up sides and mailboxes and
- 48:03Speaker 15: so forth out here on the weekends. But they were
- 48:07Speaker 15: largely individuals, lone wolves, mental health problems, dysfunctional families, that
- 48:11Speaker 15: sort of thing. They were not as we now face,
- 48:15Speaker 15: focusing on one racial group committed to the idea of
- 48:20Speaker 15: eliminating one particular race of people here and around the world,
- 48:26Speaker 15: and organized more widely. This is not lone wolf stuff.
- 48:29Speaker 15: This is entirely different, and it demands much more of
- 48:33Speaker 15: a response, a much deeper response, than talk about revisiting
- 48:39Speaker 15: gun laws. That's the failure of leadership that I feel
- 48:43Speaker 15: at the moment gives me a great cause for worrying.
- 48:46Speaker 15: As you say, are we going to stand up?
- 48:51Speaker 2: Let me play a comment from John Howard on this
- 48:53Speaker 2: very point about not allowing gun laws to take away
- 48:57Speaker 2: the Prime Minister's responsibility here antisemitism.
- 49:00Speaker 3: Have a listen.
- 49:01Speaker 8: They degraded into a debate about changes to gun was
- 49:05Speaker 8: that is a diversion. The issue here is anti Semetism.
- 49:10Speaker 8: The failure over the last two years has been that
- 49:13Speaker 8: of the federal government, led by the Prime Minister as
- 49:16Speaker 8: Any Alban Easy, to bring sufficient energy to a broad
- 49:21Speaker 8: based attack on the evil of anti Semitism.
- 49:25Speaker 2: I made the point John, in the car there was
- 49:28Speaker 2: explosive devices found by police. If they had killed the
- 49:32Speaker 2: fifteen people on the weekend and not the guns, the
- 49:34Speaker 2: Prime Minister would have no cover.
- 49:36Speaker 3: So we have to have this debate.
- 49:39Speaker 15: We absolutely have to have this debate. Let me make
- 49:42Speaker 15: this point though, I think it's right for people to
- 49:44Speaker 15: say no, the issue is anti Semitism ahead of guns.
- 49:47Speaker 15: But I think ahead of even that we need to
- 49:50Speaker 15: have an honest debate about people in our midst who
- 49:53Speaker 15: want to attack the very principle that underpins our democracy,
- 49:57Speaker 15: the equality of all citizens. If you are such a
- 50:01Speaker 15: Jew hater that you believe that Australians who are Jewish
- 50:05Speaker 15: should be singled out and removed because are somehow subhuman.
- 50:09Speaker 15: You are, as Bob Hawk recognized in a situation, when
- 50:13Speaker 15: the bell tolls for Israel, when it tolls when anti
- 50:16Speaker 15: Semitism rises, the bell tolls for us all this is
- 50:19Speaker 15: a really clear link and I just hope the Prime
- 50:22Speaker 15: Minister will sit down and try and understand what is
- 50:26Speaker 15: happening to the country that he has the honor to lead.
- 50:30Speaker 3: John Andison, I have to leave it there. I'm out
- 50:32Speaker 3: of time. Thank you for Jody, Yes the CD. That's
- 50:35Speaker 3: it for me. Tomorrow night, I'll be here at six
- 50:38Speaker 3: is Andrew
