- 0:01Speaker 1: Line from the Skoing New Center.
- 0:03Speaker 2: This is the Kenny Report.
- 0:06Speaker 3: Thanks for joining me on this the second anniversary of
- 0:10Speaker 3: the October the seventh atrocities in southern Israel. Tonight I'll
- 0:14Speaker 3: share my thoughts and analysis on why too many people
- 0:17Speaker 3: in Australia, including our own government, refuse to learn the
- 0:21Speaker 3: lessons from this Islamist extremist assault on Israel. I'll cross
- 0:26Speaker 3: to Israel to speak with the mother of a missing
- 0:29Speaker 3: hostage two years on, and I'll get the latest on
- 0:33Speaker 3: the peace process from Israel's deputy Foreign Minister. I'll also
- 0:37Speaker 3: look at the disgusting pro humas propaganda in Australia today
- 0:42Speaker 3: and get a response from Jewish leader Alex Rivchin. Parliament
- 0:46Speaker 3: is back today too, and the government is under fire
- 0:49Speaker 3: over the Triple Zero shambles. Julian Lisa joins me. Also
- 0:54Speaker 3: Sophie Ellsworth from Manchester, still reeling from that terror attack
- 0:58Speaker 3: at the synagogue line last week, and we'll have the
- 1:01Speaker 3: panel of course with Susi O'Brien and Stephen Sanna Tiempo.
- 1:05Speaker 2: Let's get started.
- 1:09Speaker 3: There are so many stories of pain and suffering, and
- 1:13Speaker 3: of brutality and horror, and of survival and hope from
- 1:18Speaker 3: October seventh, twenty twenty three. For me, the images of
- 1:22Speaker 3: murder and mutilation, of cold hearted, even gleeful slaughter of innocence,
- 1:29Speaker 3: the terror of the victims, well, I'll never be able
- 1:32Speaker 3: to erase them from my mind. I've seen too much
- 1:34Speaker 3: of this, so to think of the scars on those
- 1:38Speaker 3: who have lived through it. The survivors, well, I can't
- 1:42Speaker 3: conceive of the burden they carry. But the life changing
- 1:47Speaker 3: realization for me is not so much the grotesque barbarity
- 1:51Speaker 3: and the death cult mentality of this Islamist terrorism. I've
- 1:56Speaker 3: got a good understanding of that dismal ideology through years
- 2:00Speaker 3: in foreign affairs. I went to Bali after the bombings
- 2:04Speaker 3: of two thousand and two, and after the second Bali
- 2:07Speaker 3: bombing in two thousand and five. I headed to Jakarta
- 2:11Speaker 3: after the Australian embassy bombing in two thousand and four.
- 2:14Speaker 3: I've been to Iraq, Afghanistan and Iran, to Saudi Arabia, Jordan,
- 2:21Speaker 3: the Emirates, Kuwait, and Israel, always speaking to experts Muslim
- 2:27Speaker 3: and non Muslim to get briefings about this scourge. Then
- 2:32Speaker 3: I was one of the last to leave the Limb
- 2:33Speaker 3: cafe in Martin Place before that horror unfolded. So I
- 2:38Speaker 3: know the threat that Islamist extremism poses, and I think
- 2:43Speaker 3: way too many people in the West don't comprehend it.
- 2:48Speaker 3: And I get that it's not a mindset that we
- 2:51Speaker 3: can identify with easily.
- 2:54Speaker 2: We value life above all else.
- 2:56Speaker 3: The Islamist extremist cult glorifies and martyrdom. We've seen parents
- 3:03Speaker 3: publicly celebrate the so called martyrdom of their children as
- 3:07Speaker 3: suicide bombers.
- 3:09Speaker 2: Just contemplate that for a moment.
- 3:12Speaker 3: But since October the seventh, I've been staggered by how
- 3:16Speaker 3: many in the West, in politics, in public debate, and
- 3:20Speaker 3: in the media have overlooked this reality and adopted an
- 3:25Speaker 3: entirely political position, an anti Israel position, And therefore they've
- 3:30Speaker 3: almost excused the atrocities of October the seventh, or at
- 3:34Speaker 3: least portrayed them as part of a political struggle for
- 3:37Speaker 3: Palestinian statehood. They've missed the point, and they've twisted reality
- 3:44Speaker 3: in order to suit their agenda.
- 3:46Speaker 2: It's not as if we didn't know this would happen.
- 3:49Speaker 3: In my first program after the October the seventh atrocities,
- 3:53Speaker 3: just two days later, I said that you wait, soon
- 3:56Speaker 3: Israel will get more criticism than Hummus. We'd seen this
- 4:00Speaker 3: play out many times before. Terror and missile attacks against
- 4:05Speaker 3: Israel go largely unreported, but as soon as Israel responds,
- 4:09Speaker 3: there's news and condemnation. But the scale of this deception
- 4:15Speaker 3: after October seventh has been shocking. It's not just a
- 4:19Speaker 3: hateful radical fringe. It's swept over the public, broadcasters, the
- 4:24Speaker 3: other left of center media, and the left of center
- 4:27Speaker 3: of politics. This irrational and wrong headed interpretation pretending that
- 4:34Speaker 3: Humas wants a two state solution when they're very charter
- 4:38Speaker 3: and all their actions show that they want the elimination
- 4:41Speaker 3: of Israel and the killing of Jews. Well, this has
- 4:44Speaker 3: become so common, this misinterpretation, that our own government has
- 4:49Speaker 3: joined others thinking they can appease extremists by taking the
- 4:55Speaker 3: offensive and the absurd and counterproductive step of recognizing a
- 5:01Speaker 3: Palestinian state that does not exist, has never existed and
- 5:06Speaker 3: at the moment is incapable of existing.
- 5:10Speaker 2: Anyway.
- 5:11Speaker 3: As we ponder these things on this second anniversary, I
- 5:15Speaker 3: often come back to one family's October the seventh story
- 5:19Speaker 3: that haunts me, and it demonstrates beyond any doubt, the evil,
- 5:26Speaker 3: the bloodlust, and it shows that the atrocities of that
- 5:29Speaker 3: day were not about resistance or statehood or politics. They
- 5:35Speaker 3: were about hatred, the vile and fanatical hatred of Jews.
- 5:42Speaker 3: And so it was that thirty two year old mother
- 5:44Speaker 3: Sheri Bibas was kidnapped then taken separately from her husband Yarden,
- 5:50Speaker 3: but with her four year old son Ariel and nine
- 5:54Speaker 3: month old son Kafir. Look at her cling to her
- 5:58Speaker 3: beautiful boys as they cling to her, and these animals
- 6:03Speaker 3: not only abduct them from their home, but they film
- 6:07Speaker 3: the ordeal to terrorize Israel, to boast to the world,
- 6:12Speaker 3: we won't air their footage. A mother and her two
- 6:16Speaker 3: young sons. Such innocence and such promise, taken in a
- 6:22Speaker 3: frenzy of hatred. And what did Humas and their supporters
- 6:27Speaker 3: do with them as hostages. They killed them with their
- 6:32Speaker 3: bare hands in the days after October seventh, and they
- 6:37Speaker 3: mutilated their bodies.
- 6:40Speaker 2: And then more than a year.
- 6:42Speaker 3: Later, they traded their bodies, Yes, traded their bodies for
- 6:47Speaker 3: Israeli prisoners, staging a macarb handover ceremony. What a grotesque
- 6:54Speaker 3: display of inhumanity. Think what it says about who Israel
- 7:01Speaker 3: is up against. On this two year anniversary, war still
- 7:07Speaker 3: rages because Humas will not surrender. It started a war
- 7:12Speaker 3: it knew it could never win. It was about sacrificing
- 7:17Speaker 3: Palestinian lives to cause pain for Israel. Yet still Humas
- 7:22Speaker 3: prefers to extend the death and trauma for Palestinians in
- 7:27Speaker 3: order to continue Israel's suffering and intensify Israel's diplomatic isolation.
- 7:36Speaker 3: But let me then share one more story, one of suffering, courage,
- 7:42Speaker 3: and hope.
- 7:44Speaker 2: This is what happened to a young.
- 7:45Speaker 3: Girl and her little brother on a kibbutz in southern
- 7:49Speaker 3: Israel on October seventh, twenty twenty three. Daria Karp was
- 7:55Speaker 3: ten years old and her brother Larva seven on that morning.
- 8:01Speaker 3: Alerted to an attack, which usually meant rocket or missile fire,
- 8:06Speaker 3: the pair sheltered in their safe room with their father,
- 8:10Speaker 3: de Vere and his partner Stave. Devere was texting the
- 8:15Speaker 3: children's mother, Riort, who was safe a long way away
- 8:19Speaker 3: near Tel Aviv, letting her know that that heard gunfire
- 8:24Speaker 3: on the kibbutz. Then they heard terrorists entering the house.
- 8:31Speaker 3: Devere and Stav went out to protect the children devere
- 8:35Speaker 3: with an axe Stave with a knife, and they were
- 8:39Speaker 3: both shot dead. The terrorists found the children huddled under blankets,
- 8:46Speaker 3: but left them a.
- 8:48Speaker 2: Flush of humanity in the middle of this mayhem.
- 8:53Speaker 3: One of them wrote on the wall that al Kazam
- 8:56Speaker 3: don't kill children. Al Kazam the military wing of Hummas,
- 9:02Speaker 3: and this time at least they did not kill the children,
- 9:06Speaker 3: although dozens of other Israeli kids were slaughtered that day.
- 9:12Speaker 3: But the terror was not over for little Daria and Larvae.
- 9:17Speaker 3: As their mother received these texts from Daria using her
- 9:21Speaker 3: dad's phone to tell her about the murders, Rayot got
- 9:26Speaker 3: her daughter on the phone, conscious that terrorists were still
- 9:30Speaker 3: in the kabbutz here's some of their exchange.
- 9:44Speaker 4: Will there.
- 9:57Speaker 3: For the next three hours, Rot was on the phone
- 10:00Speaker 3: with her daughter while also alerting authorities for help.
- 10:07Speaker 5: Read it now, I have.
- 10:14Speaker 2: One local.
- 10:22Speaker 5: When your dad, mummy is fred and put it out
- 10:35Speaker 5: and your McComb.
- 10:37Speaker 3: But this brave little girl managed to get her brother,
- 10:45Speaker 3: who was on the autism spectrum, to sleep, and later,
- 10:50Speaker 3: two and a half hours after her father was killed,
- 10:53Speaker 3: she heard terrorists again in the house.
- 11:00Speaker 6: That's all, it's the open love VI shoe.
- 11:17Speaker 5: Mummy, Yes, Charles value yeah, player in an requirement.
- 11:29Speaker 2: And listen to this poignant question.
- 11:32Speaker 3: The question at the heart of this atrocity and it's aftermath,
- 11:37Speaker 3: and it's asked by a terrified girl in the middle
- 11:41Speaker 3: of the attack numbers.
- 11:44Speaker 6: Double you because.
- 11:51Speaker 5: From the vowel from the.
- 11:57Speaker 7: Clue, then and I.
- 12:03Speaker 2: Why do they kill?
- 12:06Speaker 3: Daria and her brother were eventually rescued by a family
- 12:09Speaker 3: friend five hours after their ordeal began. They weren't reunited
- 12:14Speaker 3: with their mother till the following morning, One little bit
- 12:44Speaker 3: of hope at a time of absolute horror. Daria has
- 12:49Speaker 3: now taken to art as part of her recovery. It's
- 12:53Speaker 3: a way to confront her fears and memories. Here are
- 12:56Speaker 3: a couple of samples of her work. They're quite whole,
- 13:00Speaker 3: aren't they. She's endured what no child should ever go through.
- 13:05Speaker 3: At least thirty eight children were murdered that day, and
- 13:10Speaker 3: thousands of Palestinian children have been killed as unintended victims
- 13:16Speaker 3: of the resultant war, a war Hummas deliberately triggered and
- 13:21Speaker 3: has heartlessly refused to end. The only way to ensure
- 13:26Speaker 3: that future generations of Israeli and Palestinian children do not
- 13:31Speaker 3: go through this trauma.
- 13:33Speaker 2: Is to eradicate the extremists. Eradicate the terrorists and.
- 13:39Speaker 3: Their Islamist extremist ideology because it is evil, and because
- 13:45Speaker 3: because it's not only a constant threat to Israel, but
- 13:50Speaker 3: also a threat to the West, to our country here
- 13:55Speaker 3: and to mainstream Muslims right around the world. That's the
- 14:00Speaker 3: lesson of October the seventh. But tragically, far too many
- 14:05Speaker 3: people do the opposite, amplifying the propaganda of the extremists,
- 14:11Speaker 3: justifying and encouraging the extremists.
- 14:16Speaker 2: Will they never learn.
- 14:24Speaker 3: What has occurred today in this country on the second
- 14:27Speaker 3: anniversary of the October seventh atrocities is sickening and it
- 14:31Speaker 3: shames our nation.
- 14:33Speaker 2: I'll show you in a moment, but it is familiar.
- 14:37Speaker 3: We saw it start two years ago when this visceral
- 14:41Speaker 3: hatred of Jews was awakened all around the world.
- 14:45Speaker 2: On October the seventh, twenty twenty three.
- 14:47Speaker 3: Palestinians in Gaza cheered as bodies and hostages were dragged
- 14:53Speaker 3: back into their territory. Palestinians in the West Bank did likewise.
- 14:58Speaker 3: They celebrate, but around the world too, Palestinians Muslims more
- 15:04Speaker 3: broadly and some of the radical left immediately took delight
- 15:09Speaker 3: in the slaughter of Israelis. It was sickening, it remains sickening,
- 15:17Speaker 3: and it came here and we saw the most shameful
- 15:21Speaker 3: public displays this nation has ever seen.
- 15:25Speaker 2: I'm smiling and I'm happy.
- 15:28Speaker 8: I'm Inaydan.
- 15:30Speaker 2: It's a day of courage.
- 15:48Speaker 3: And in response to those hate fielled displays that certainly
- 15:52Speaker 3: endorsed violence and murder and most certainly must have bordered
- 15:58Speaker 3: on incitement, our governments, state and federal, and their law
- 16:04Speaker 3: enforcement authorities, well they did nothing. There were no arrests,
- 16:09Speaker 3: no charges, and it hasn't improved. Over the past two years,
- 16:13Speaker 3: with anti Semitism reaching unprecedented levels, with fire bombings of cars,
- 16:19Speaker 3: of shops and of a synagogue, even a childcare center,
- 16:25Speaker 3: and numerous threats and graffiti attacks, it's been relentless hateful
- 16:30Speaker 3: and frightening for Jewish Australians. And then today, on this
- 16:36Speaker 3: grim anniversary, we saw graffiti in Melbourne of the most
- 16:41Speaker 3: vile kind, glorifying hummus and calling for more terrorist attacks
- 16:48Speaker 3: on Jews. Now this happens here, that such people live
- 16:53Speaker 3: among us is at once disturbing and shameful. Today the
- 17:00Speaker 3: Palestinian Action Group was in court fighting against a police
- 17:04Speaker 3: ban on a planned protest at the Opera House this weekend.
- 17:10Speaker 3: They should let them protest on one condition that the
- 17:15Speaker 3: government funded broadcaster, the ABC broadcasts it live and in full,
- 17:21Speaker 3: so that people get to see the hatred that these
- 17:24Speaker 3: people preach. The trouble is that Anthony Albanese in his
- 17:28Speaker 3: government have been jelly backed on this stuff since the
- 17:32Speaker 3: very night of October seventh. They've wrung their hands and
- 17:37Speaker 3: they've demonized Israel, which is victim blaming on a grand scale,
- 17:43Speaker 3: turning their back on Israel diplomatically. So the Prime Minister's
- 17:47Speaker 3: words in Parliament today were hollow.
- 17:51Speaker 9: The Australian governments stand with Jewish people around the world
- 17:54Speaker 9: who feel the cold shadow of history's darkest chapter in
- 17:58Speaker 9: any act of anti Semitism. We will always stand against
- 18:02Speaker 9: any Semitism, as should everyone. We must break this cycle
- 18:06Speaker 9: of violence and build something better. Australia has consistently been
- 18:10Speaker 9: part of the international pressure for a cease fire in Gaza,
- 18:14Speaker 9: the return of the hostages, for aid to flow and
- 18:17Speaker 9: a two state solution.
- 18:20Speaker 3: No overt support for Israel, no idea of what's at
- 18:24Speaker 3: stake for the Middle East or for Western civilization and
- 18:28Speaker 3: our own country. Susan Lee, on the other hand, showed
- 18:32Speaker 3: clarity and strength.
- 18:35Speaker 10: I wish that today, as we mark this dark milestone,
- 18:37Speaker 10: I could reflect on the strength of Australia's response. I
- 18:41Speaker 10: wish I could be able to say that Australia did
- 18:43Speaker 10: all it could to help release the hostages and the
- 18:46Speaker 10: violence and dismantle the terrorist group Mass. Yet to do
- 18:50Speaker 10: so would be a lie to our great shame. Under
- 18:54Speaker 10: the leadership of the Albanese Labor government, Australia has not
- 18:57Speaker 10: stood with the people of Israel nor with the United States,
- 19:01Speaker 10: as they have sought to dismantle her Mass and established
- 19:04Speaker 10: the conditions for peace here here.
- 19:08Speaker 3: Earlier, the opposition leader met with Danny Masner, the brother
- 19:12Speaker 3: of the only Australian victim, Galit Carbine. She was killed
- 19:16Speaker 3: on Kibbutzbrie on October the seventh. Danny was there but survived.
- 19:21Speaker 3: I met him there earlier this year when he showed
- 19:24Speaker 3: us around the remnants of the carnage.
- 19:28Speaker 2: Today he had a message for Australia.
- 19:31Speaker 11: I'm talking on behalf of all of the twelve hundred
- 19:35Speaker 11: murders and nine hundred soldiers that killed in the war,
- 19:38Speaker 11: but I don't want to bring it up now because
- 19:40Speaker 11: there's dead people from the other side.
- 19:42Speaker 8: War is war.
- 19:42Speaker 11: We don't want wars. None of us want war. And
- 19:47Speaker 11: if I just may, I want to really ask the
- 19:52Speaker 11: Australian government and the PM to take a more active
- 19:58Speaker 11: part in trying to so this conflict, huge conflict with
- 20:02Speaker 11: the Hamas and Israel.
- 20:06Speaker 2: Yeah, war is hell.
- 20:07Speaker 3: Palestinians are suffering and thousands have been killed. But the
- 20:12Speaker 3: lies told about alleged deliberate starvation, the obscene nonsense about
- 20:18Speaker 3: alleged genocide, and the atrocious claims that Israel targets civilians
- 20:25Speaker 3: when no military offensive in history has gone to greater
- 20:29Speaker 3: lengths to warn civilians and protect civilians will Those lies
- 20:34Speaker 3: have been spread far too readily by media and politicians,
- 20:39Speaker 3: and tragically, instead of correcting them and putting pressure on Humas,
- 20:44Speaker 3: the Albanese labor government has only given credence to the
- 20:48Speaker 3: malicious lies and demonized Israel. This has fueled hatred and
- 20:54Speaker 3: it's misled the public, and it's only helped to prolong
- 20:58Speaker 3: the war. Because the only way the war ends, and
- 21:02Speaker 3: we all hope that is soon The only way it
- 21:05Speaker 3: ends is by forcing Humas, its supporters, and similar groups
- 21:10Speaker 3: like Islamic Jihad and Hesbalah.
- 21:13Speaker 2: To end their cycle of violence.
- 21:20Speaker 3: It's impossible to imagine the grief being experienced by relatives
- 21:24Speaker 3: of hostages taken by Hummas. On October the seventh, Tamir
- 21:28Speaker 3: Nimrodi was eighteen when he was abducted, an education officer
- 21:33Speaker 3: in the Israeli military, a non combat soldier liaising with
- 21:37Speaker 3: Palestinians near Gaza.
- 21:40Speaker 2: His mum Herut has no idea whether.
- 21:43Speaker 3: Her son is still alive. She joins me, now live
- 21:47Speaker 3: from Israel. Hero, thanks so much for joining us. This
- 21:51Speaker 3: must be such a testing day for you, two years
- 21:55Speaker 3: after your son was taken. Tell us how you're dealing
- 21:59Speaker 3: with it, how you're marking the due and what you've
- 22:03Speaker 3: heard of or from him since.
- 22:07Speaker 8: Well, first of all, thank you for having me today.
- 22:11Speaker 8: It is a hard day for.
- 22:14Speaker 12: The entire country, but of course for us, the families
- 22:18Speaker 12: that are still hanging on after two years. It's unimaginable.
- 22:23Speaker 12: It has been two years. It feels like one long,
- 22:31Speaker 12: horrific day for us, actually waking up each morning for
- 22:37Speaker 12: new tasks that we haven't had to deal with before
- 22:44Speaker 12: going on delegations and doing interviews for the radio, for
- 22:50Speaker 12: the television.
- 22:51Speaker 6: This is.
- 22:53Speaker 8: A different world than we had before October seventh.
- 23:00Speaker 2: I heard that you've got.
- 23:01Speaker 3: No update on You've got no update on your son.
- 23:05Speaker 3: You've got no update on his conditional.
- 23:07Speaker 2: Whether he's alive, tell me, tell me what you believe
- 23:10Speaker 2: the situation is.
- 23:13Speaker 12: Well, the only life sign we have of Tamir is
- 23:17Speaker 12: from October seventh, when he was brutally taking away in
- 23:22Speaker 12: his pajamas, where we saw the horrific video, but we
- 23:29Speaker 12: saw him on his feet. He was alive, Yes, he
- 23:33Speaker 12: was terrified. Yes, they were terrorists around him hitting him.
- 23:41Speaker 8: I can't even.
- 23:45Speaker 12: Explain how does a mother feel when she sees her
- 23:49Speaker 12: son in this condition. But the ending of this video
- 23:54Speaker 12: was of him being led into Gaza by foot. They
- 23:59Speaker 12: put him on a truck and they drove away. And
- 24:03Speaker 12: this is actually the last life sign we have of Tamil.
- 24:08Speaker 12: Since then, there's no.
- 24:11Speaker 8: Indication whether he survived or not.
- 24:15Speaker 12: He is the only Israeli with no information about him,
- 24:19Speaker 12: and we are scared that the worst that happened to him.
- 24:25Speaker 12: We're trying to have some kind of hope, but we
- 24:30Speaker 12: know that after two years with no information. There is
- 24:34Speaker 12: a little chance that he survived, but we are waiting,
- 24:39Speaker 12: waiting to hear from Romas what his condition is. The
- 24:45Speaker 12: ICRC did not help us the entire time, not even
- 24:50Speaker 12: to give us information whether he survived.
- 24:54Speaker 8: He has no glasses. He was taken without them and
- 24:58Speaker 8: he can hardly see without them.
- 25:00Speaker 12: We ask them to bring him a pair of glasses,
- 25:04Speaker 12: but they said Hamas doesn't let them see the hostages,
- 25:09Speaker 12: and they can't help us.
- 25:13Speaker 8: So this is my situation.
- 25:15Speaker 3: Herod, thank you so much for being strong enough and
- 25:17Speaker 3: brave enough to share your plight with the world, just
- 25:20Speaker 3: for the information our viewers. The Israeli government says there
- 25:24Speaker 3: are forty eight hostages are still held by Hamas, that
- 25:27Speaker 3: twenty of them are alive, twenty eight are dead. Tell
- 25:31Speaker 3: us about me, tell us about what sort of a
- 25:34Speaker 3: young man he was. Obviously he's doing his compulsory military service,
- 25:37Speaker 3: but he's involved in education and I believe liaising with Palestinians.
- 25:43Speaker 12: Yes, he was actually a part of co GOT, which
- 25:48Speaker 12: deals ironically with humanitarian issues for the Palestinians. They used
- 25:54Speaker 12: to take sick Palestinians into Israel, into hospitals in Israel
- 25:59Speaker 12: and give them license.
- 26:01Speaker 8: To work in Israel.
- 26:02Speaker 4: So there was no.
- 26:07Speaker 12: You know, people are looking at us as a genocidal country,
- 26:14Speaker 12: or that we're trying to do some kind of ethnic cleansing,
- 26:20Speaker 12: when well, my son was actually doing things in order
- 26:24Speaker 12: to coexist together, in order for us to be able
- 26:29Speaker 12: to live together. And he was just a little boy,
- 26:35Speaker 12: was only eighteen. He used to do what every eighteen
- 26:40Speaker 12: year old boy does, went to a bar with his
- 26:43Speaker 12: friends for a drink, travel abroad with his friends before
- 26:51Speaker 12: his military.
- 26:53Speaker 8: Service. He liked to ride horses.
- 26:59Speaker 6: He was.
- 27:01Speaker 12: A very smart boy. You wanted to continue his journey
- 27:06Speaker 12: as an educator. He felt like he was. One of
- 27:12Speaker 12: his missions is to take care of other people. I
- 27:17Speaker 12: can tell you that when we received his belongings from
- 27:21Speaker 12: his base, one of the things we found was a
- 27:24Speaker 12: small note a three sentences he wrote to himself. It
- 27:29Speaker 12: was a small note fold in his pocket, and the
- 27:33Speaker 12: sentences are as followed, to succeed helping a lot of people,
- 27:39Speaker 12: to create a close circle of friends, and not.
- 27:42Speaker 8: To harm anyone.
- 27:43Speaker 12: Wow, this is an eighteen year old boy who only
- 27:47Speaker 12: wanted to make a difference in this world, to make
- 27:49Speaker 12: it a better place for us, and we do have
- 27:53Speaker 12: to remember that when Hamas launched this attack on Israel,
- 27:59Speaker 12: it wasn't looking for a two state solution.
- 28:03Speaker 8: He wanted to wipe up Israel to have a one
- 28:07Speaker 8: state solution.
- 28:09Speaker 13: So this is the thing that the.
- 28:12Speaker 12: World leads to understand, indeed they do.
- 28:17Speaker 3: He thank you so much for being strong enough to
- 28:20Speaker 3: join us this morning, your time.
- 28:22Speaker 2: It's going to be a very difficult day for you.
- 28:24Speaker 3: And let's hope you get some good news about Tamir
- 28:28Speaker 3: in the future. We appreciate it so much sharing the
- 28:33Speaker 3: story of her son, Tamir, taken two years ago today,
- 28:38Speaker 3: and as you heard, she does not hold out great hope.
- 28:41Speaker 3: But while there is a glimmer of hope, the whole
- 28:44Speaker 3: country will hang on to it. Now coming up, we've
- 28:47Speaker 3: got to take a break. We're going to cross down
- 28:49Speaker 3: to canber in a moment, but that's been.
- 28:50Speaker 2: Delayed, so we'll take a break.
- 28:52Speaker 3: On the other side, we'll talk about this disgusting pro
- 28:55Speaker 3: humus propaganda that's been spread in Australia.
- 28:59Speaker 2: Today I go away.
- 29:04Speaker 3: There's a sickening protest plan for Bankstown in Sydney, Southwest tonight.
- 29:09Speaker 2: What the organizers have labeled.
- 29:10Speaker 3: Honoring two years of resistance and confronting two years of genocide.
- 29:16Speaker 3: One of the speakers will be shake Ibrahim de doom Well.
- 29:19Speaker 3: I showed you earlier celebrating on the streets of Lukember
- 29:22Speaker 3: the day after the October the seventh attacks in twenty
- 29:26Speaker 3: twenty three.
- 29:27Speaker 2: Here's the new South Wales Premier, Chris Mins speaking this morning.
- 29:31Speaker 14: Terrible timing, shockingly insensitive and for a lot of these groups,
- 29:35Speaker 14: there's an old saying they never missed an opportunity, to
- 29:38Speaker 14: miss an opportunity. We understand that there's concern about innocent
- 29:42Speaker 14: Palestinian civilians in Gaza, but to do it on this day,
- 29:46Speaker 14: on the seventh seems like they're glorifying the actions of
- 29:50Speaker 14: these hammers terrorists.
- 29:52Speaker 2: Yeah, it's an abomination.
- 29:53Speaker 3: Let's bring in Alex Ripchin from the Executive Council of
- 29:56Speaker 3: Australian Jury. Thanks for joining this on this joining us
- 29:59Speaker 3: on the this difficult anniversary.
- 30:02Speaker 2: Alex.
- 30:03Speaker 3: The thought that some people in your own city want
- 30:05Speaker 3: to celebrate it your thoughts.
- 30:10Speaker 13: Well, there's no shock here, Chris. I mean there's something
- 30:12Speaker 13: almost poetic about the fact that the same bloke, the
- 30:15Speaker 13: same cleric, who stood on the streets of Western Sydney
- 30:18Speaker 13: two years ago today talking about his joy and pride
- 30:22Speaker 13: in the horrors that we witnessed on October seventh. That
- 30:24Speaker 13: he's at it again now. It just shows us how
- 30:27Speaker 13: little has changed, how much impunity there's been, the extent
- 30:30Speaker 13: to which these people continue to operate outside the bounds
- 30:33Speaker 13: of humanity, morality and the law, and nothing can be
- 30:36Speaker 13: done to them. But it's important that we know this,
- 30:39Speaker 13: that we're aware of this, that this sort of evil
- 30:41Speaker 13: streak runs through our country.
- 30:44Speaker 2: Apparently. I'm chastened.
- 30:45Speaker 3: Though I thought at least we would have seen some
- 30:48Speaker 3: discussion of a police visiting, police interview, perhaps charges laid
- 30:52Speaker 3: under hate speech laws.
- 30:53Speaker 2: We've seen none of that.
- 30:54Speaker 3: Apparently celebrating the massacre of innocence is not considered to
- 30:58Speaker 3: be incitement in this country.
- 31:00Speaker 2: I'm staggered by.
- 31:02Speaker 3: The fact we've seen no policing or law enforcement response
- 31:05Speaker 3: to this stuff two years on, and we wonder them
- 31:08Speaker 3: why it continues. I got an email today, a statement
- 31:11Speaker 3: today from the Israelian National Immans Council.
- 31:14Speaker 2: When I saw it in the inbox, I thought, great,
- 31:16Speaker 2: they're going to.
- 31:17Speaker 3: Say something sensitive and compassionate about what happened on October
- 31:21Speaker 3: the seventh.
- 31:21Speaker 2: But no, they are marking.
- 31:23Speaker 3: Two years of relentless genocide and war waged against the
- 31:28Speaker 3: people of Gaza.
- 31:30Speaker 2: This is the National Immands Council. Your response to that.
- 31:37Speaker 13: Well, you spoke about it earlier in the show. The
- 31:39Speaker 13: fact that there's been two years of relentless lies and
- 31:43Speaker 13: demonization of the Jewish community in this country, of anyone
- 31:47Speaker 13: who stands with Israel and of the people of Israel itself,
- 31:50Speaker 13: and that will not simply go away. That will be
- 31:52Speaker 13: with us for generations to come. A new generation of
- 31:55Speaker 13: Australians and people around the world have been bred with this,
- 31:58Speaker 13: have been inducted with this, and this is going to
- 32:00Speaker 13: change our society for a long time. We talk about cohesion,
- 32:04Speaker 13: we talk about being multicultural and different groups and we
- 32:06Speaker 13: all get along and we work together and we study together.
- 32:09Speaker 13: That can't go on, That can't go on in a
- 32:11Speaker 13: normal way when you have such demonization and intimidation and
- 32:15Speaker 13: harassment of Jewish Australians, when we're reduced to this and
- 32:18Speaker 13: nothing is done about it, and we've spoken so much
- 32:20Speaker 13: about the absence of leadership. It of course begins with
- 32:22Speaker 13: a federal government, but also groups like Arthic that you
- 32:25Speaker 13: mentioned the Mum's Council, School principles, Families. People have to
- 32:30Speaker 13: take responsibility for this, but it's been glorified, it's been normalized,
- 32:34Speaker 13: and again we're going to have to deal with this
- 32:36Speaker 13: for a long long time in the form of social
- 32:38Speaker 13: cohesion programs and extra security costs. This is going to
- 32:41Speaker 13: be the norm in our society.
- 32:42Speaker 2: You're so right, it's an issue for every Australian.
- 32:45Speaker 3: We all have to take ownership of it, not just
- 32:47Speaker 3: think it's happening to some group of people we don't
- 32:50Speaker 3: know or have much to deal with. Have a look
- 32:52Speaker 3: at this in Melbourne today. You talk about glorifying hummus
- 32:55Speaker 3: on a billboard. People have written exactly that, glorify hummus
- 33:00Speaker 3: on another one alongside how mus do it?
- 33:02Speaker 2: Again?
- 33:03Speaker 3: Tell me again about Obviously there's that broader response, but
- 33:08Speaker 3: for individual Jewish Australians this must be terrifying.
- 33:15Speaker 13: Look, it's a reinjury that we suffer on a near
- 33:18Speaker 13: daily basis, and we will never forget October seven. We
- 33:21Speaker 13: will never forget the horrors that were recounted that occurred
- 33:24Speaker 13: on that day that we witnessed people like you and me, Chris,
- 33:27Speaker 13: who traveled to Israel and went to the South and
- 33:29Speaker 13: sat with soldiers who've just come out of combat, spoke
- 33:32Speaker 13: to survivors of the atrocity, spoke to families who lost victims,
- 33:35Speaker 13: like your previous guest, and it just makes you weep
- 33:38Speaker 13: for what has happened, what has been allowed to happen,
- 33:41Speaker 13: and to know that at the same time as we
- 33:43Speaker 13: respond in a humane fashion, with concern and compassion, that
- 33:46Speaker 13: there are people reveling in this, seeking joy in this.
- 33:49Speaker 13: It reveals a sickness in society, and it's not just
- 33:52Speaker 13: a Jewish issue, because that sickness can't be confined. That
- 33:55Speaker 13: sickness will then sprawl out into wider society, into workplaces,
- 33:58Speaker 13: into homes, to communities, and it's something we have to
- 34:01Speaker 13: deal with in confront. We've seen it in the healthcare
- 34:04Speaker 13: sector with psychotic nurses that want to kill their patients.
- 34:07Speaker 13: We've seen it in the education sector. We've seen it
- 34:09Speaker 13: across society, and it's been normalized by the Australian Greens,
- 34:13Speaker 13: who just yesterday couldn't even condemn the slaughter of two
- 34:16Speaker 13: Jews outside of synagogue on Yom Kippur. It's been glorified
- 34:20Speaker 13: by athletes and musicians. But there's a real sickness going
- 34:23Speaker 13: on and it's going to take a long time to
- 34:25Speaker 13: unpack this and grapple with this. But it has to
- 34:27Speaker 13: begin with leadership and it has to begin with consequences.
- 34:30Speaker 3: Thank you for joining us, Alex, and you know we
- 34:33Speaker 3: are with you and our hearts are with you and
- 34:36Speaker 3: your community this difficult day. Alex Rifchin there, who's the
- 34:41Speaker 3: Executive Council of the Australian Jury, the co chief executive there?
- 34:45Speaker 3: Now coming up after the break, I'm going to get
- 34:47Speaker 3: the latest on the peace process. Going across to Israel,
- 34:49Speaker 3: we'll catch up with their Deputy Foreign Minister, Sharon Haskell.
- 34:57Speaker 3: Let's go to Israel now and catch up with char
- 35:00Speaker 3: and has School, who's that country's deputy foreign minister. Good
- 35:02Speaker 3: to speak to you again, Sharon, and can I can
- 35:05Speaker 3: I start off by thanking you for joining this on
- 35:07Speaker 3: this day. I know it's our holiday for Jewish people
- 35:11Speaker 3: and so therefore a lot of people that are very
- 35:14Speaker 3: private and offline today, So I.
- 35:16Speaker 2: Just want to ask you.
- 35:17Speaker 3: I know Jewish Australians have had quiet vigils for October
- 35:22Speaker 3: the seventh, how is the day being marked by way
- 35:24Speaker 3: of commemorations in Israel.
- 35:27Speaker 7: Well, this is a very difficult moment.
- 35:31Speaker 1: For the past week, there's been different commemorations by different groups,
- 35:35Speaker 1: whether it's the Nova survivors, families of the hostages, the
- 35:40Speaker 1: families of the fallen soldiers. So each one has some
- 35:46Speaker 1: private ceremonies and just after support as the Jews have
- 35:51Speaker 1: a different calendar to commemorate this day that was on Simhatt.
- 35:56Speaker 7: So next week we will start also the.
- 36:01Speaker 1: Commemorations at the Foreign Ministry, at the Knesset and other
- 36:05Speaker 1: ministries as well.
- 36:07Speaker 14: Well.
- 36:07Speaker 2: Thank you again for joining us.
- 36:09Speaker 3: Tell us what the latest information is on the peace
- 36:13Speaker 3: plan that you Obviously it's been announced by Benjamin Netanyahu
- 36:18Speaker 3: and Donald Trump, but detailed negotiation is occurring as we
- 36:22Speaker 3: speak in Egypt, is it not.
- 36:23Speaker 2: What's what's the latest?
- 36:25Speaker 1: Yeah, So it's important also to understand, you know, Israel
- 36:29Speaker 1: said yes. The Arab countries including Qatar and Turkey and
- 36:33Speaker 1: Jordan and Egypt, they all said yes to Trump's peace plan.
- 36:38Speaker 7: Unfortunately Hamas did not.
- 36:39Speaker 1: Said up said outright yes, it said it wants to
- 36:42Speaker 1: speak about the details. We've sent yesterday a delegation to
- 36:48Speaker 1: Egypt to start a conversation about them. Look, Israel has
- 36:52Speaker 1: made so many concessions in the last two years. Whenever
- 36:55Speaker 1: we've had a diplomatic path to achieve our goals of war,
- 37:00Speaker 1: which were very clear from the start. It was the
- 37:03Speaker 1: return of the hostages and to dismantle Ramas, to make
- 37:07Speaker 1: sure that the seventh of October never happens again, that
- 37:10Speaker 1: hundreds of hostages will never be abducted again. And every
- 37:14Speaker 1: time we had a diplomatic path to bring them back,
- 37:18Speaker 1: even though we've made major concessions, including the return of
- 37:23Speaker 1: hundreds of terrorists with blood on their hands, which chose
- 37:27Speaker 1: that path. I really hope that this discussion will be
- 37:31Speaker 1: productive and that Ramas will agree to that. Unfortunately, from
- 37:37Speaker 1: what I hear, I keep my expectations still quite low,
- 37:41Speaker 1: and I do that specifically also for the families of
- 37:44Speaker 1: the hostages that so many times they've anticipated and expected
- 37:49Speaker 1: and hoped and prayed, and unfortunately, dealing with a terrorist organization,
- 37:54Speaker 1: we've been dramatic quickly disappointed.
- 37:59Speaker 3: Yes, everything we've seen from Hamas so far would urge
- 38:03Speaker 3: us to be cautious now, which comes to the second.
- 38:06Speaker 2: Part of this peace plan.
- 38:07Speaker 3: It is effectively an ultimatum accept this plan now, or
- 38:12Speaker 3: else the idea, if will go into Gaza city and
- 38:15Speaker 3: get rid of route out what is left of the
- 38:18Speaker 3: Hamas leadership, how much time before that decision was taken,
- 38:24Speaker 3: because Hamas could be just buying time.
- 38:26Speaker 1: Here, yes, as they did last time as well, when
- 38:32Speaker 1: their intentions weren't to agree to cease fire, but to
- 38:36Speaker 1: buy more time to pressure Israel for longer. And look,
- 38:42Speaker 1: this peace plan, it's an ultimate meetum because you deal
- 38:47Speaker 1: with a terrorist organization throughout the last two years, they
- 38:51Speaker 1: didn't just kill, murdered, abuse, tortured Israeli.
- 38:56Speaker 7: But they didn't care for Palestinian either. Highest goal is
- 39:01Speaker 7: murdered them.
- 39:02Speaker 1: It's death and they don't care how much the Palestinian
- 39:05Speaker 1: people suffer.
- 39:06Speaker 7: On the way either. And that's why when you see
- 39:09Speaker 7: the Arab.
- 39:10Speaker 1: Countries accepting that deal, when you even see the Palestinian authority,
- 39:14Speaker 1: Mahmudabas calling for Ramas to accept that deal after Israel
- 39:19Speaker 1: have made concession, because and christ you need to understand
- 39:23Speaker 1: the first stage of this deal mean we will have
- 39:26Speaker 1: to release Terarit to have murdered children, children, women, men
- 39:33Speaker 1: out of our prison out to the society, just free
- 39:39Speaker 1: some of them are Ramas operatives and fighters who are
- 39:43Speaker 1: participated in the worst massacre of Jews sends the Holocaust,
- 39:47Speaker 1: and they will go back to Gaza freely without any restrictions.
- 39:54Speaker 1: I don't know whether the Australian people are understanding depth
- 39:57Speaker 1: what it means to our society that those evil monster,
- 40:01Speaker 1: noterous monsters.
- 40:03Speaker 7: Will room free.
- 40:05Speaker 1: Some of them in the streets just here in Jdare
- 40:09Speaker 1: in some areas. Some of them will reach Jerusalem and
- 40:12Speaker 1: other parts and it will be very, very difficult, especially
- 40:16Speaker 1: on the victims who've lost their family members during those attacks.
- 40:20Speaker 3: It's an incredible concession and it's why the whole world
- 40:24Speaker 3: hopes umus will grasp this. Sharon, it's obvious the strain,
- 40:30Speaker 3: the emotion that you have at this difficult time. Thank
- 40:34Speaker 3: you so much for joining us today. Sharon Haskell there
- 40:40Speaker 3: the Deputy Foreign Minister of Israel. Imagine dealing with those
- 40:45Speaker 3: sorts of conundrums. Let's hope peace is not too far off.
- 40:51Speaker 3: I just want to give you a reminder that you
- 40:53Speaker 3: can see on this channel a special documentary that investigates
- 40:56Speaker 3: the rise of anti Semitism.
- 40:58Speaker 2: It's called October the eighth.
- 41:00Speaker 3: It's going to be broadcast right here on Sky News
- 41:03Speaker 3: tomorrow at seven thirty pm. That's Australian Eastern daylight Saving time,
- 41:07Speaker 3: of course, six point thirty that is in Queensland. I've
- 41:12Speaker 3: seen that documentary. I saw it in a cinema when
- 41:14Speaker 3: it was first released in Australia. It is compelling viewing.
- 41:17Speaker 3: Don't worry, it's not too graphic, but it is compelling
- 41:21Speaker 3: viewing about how the tide was turned against Israel and
- 41:25Speaker 3: Jewish people on October the eighth, effectively straight after the
- 41:29Speaker 3: atrocities of October the seventh. Let's go to the UK
- 41:33Speaker 3: Now and News Corp Europe correspondent Sky newsed contributor Sophie
- 41:36Speaker 3: Yours with joins us this week from Manchester and Sophie
- 41:39Speaker 3: Manchester must still be reeling from that vicious and deadly
- 41:43Speaker 3: attack at a synagogue last week.
- 41:48Speaker 15: Yeah, great to be with you, Chris. Look, it absolutely is.
- 41:50Speaker 15: It's front and center of mind here in Manchester. Obviously
- 41:54Speaker 15: it's October seven here today, it's just the morning people
- 41:57Speaker 15: are waking up. But there are Palestinian protests planned Chris,
- 42:02Speaker 15: around the UK which secure Starma. The Prime Minister here
- 42:06Speaker 15: is largely condemned, but there's no doubt many people, particularly
- 42:10Speaker 15: here in Manchester, thinking very hard about what happened here
- 42:14Speaker 15: last week because it's still very raw.
- 42:17Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt, the security is very tight.
- 42:19Speaker 3: You're therefore a conference tell us about the politics that's
- 42:23Speaker 3: about to unfold.
- 42:26Speaker 15: Yes, so, Chris, the Tory Conference, the Conservative Conference is
- 42:30Speaker 15: here at the moment. Today we have former Prime Minister
- 42:34Speaker 15: Tony Abbott speaking, expecting he will speak on his success
- 42:39Speaker 15: with stopping the boats because this is an issue that
- 42:41Speaker 15: the UK has not being able to get a grip on.
- 42:44Speaker 15: But I can tell you, Chris, it's very interesting being
- 42:46Speaker 15: at this conference. I dropped in yesterday to the conference.
- 42:51Speaker 15: I've been to the other Labor and Reform conferences and
- 42:54Speaker 15: the vibe here is very different. It's a lot more quiet.
- 42:58Speaker 15: They certainly haven't got the end that the other conferences have,
- 43:02Speaker 15: and the figures speak for themselves. There's three and a
- 43:04Speaker 15: half thousand registered people for this conference compared to four thousand,
- 43:09Speaker 15: seven hundred last year.
- 43:11Speaker 7: Reform had seven thousand.
- 43:13Speaker 15: People Chris registered for their conference a month ago, and
- 43:17Speaker 15: Labor had They were saying tens of thousands of people
- 43:20Speaker 15: at their conference. It feels very somber really at the conference.
- 43:26Speaker 15: There's not the energy here because as we know, the
- 43:29Speaker 15: Tories are in a lot of trouble and they're losing
- 43:32Speaker 15: in the polls, Chris. And there was an interesting poll
- 43:34Speaker 15: out yesterday of Tory members asking them should Kenny Badenoch
- 43:39Speaker 15: be the leader or not, and half said no, she
- 43:42Speaker 15: should not.
- 43:43Speaker 7: So there's a lot of their.
- 43:43Speaker 15: Own members who don't even have faith in.
- 43:46Speaker 2: Her, good Lord.
- 43:48Speaker 3: And just for some light relief, speaking of Kemmy Badenock
- 43:51Speaker 3: is there's some chocolate fundraising chocolate being spread around the
- 43:57Speaker 3: conference there and it talks now when Labor negotiates, that's
- 44:01Speaker 3: not a misspelling. The British Labor Party uses the OU,
- 44:05Speaker 3: of course, but then they've misspelled Britain.
- 44:08Speaker 2: Brittian loses. How's this gone down, Sophie.
- 44:13Speaker 15: Well, Chris, When they can't even spell the name of
- 44:16Speaker 15: the country correctly, you know that there's problems in the
- 44:19Speaker 15: administration here with the Conservative Party. They've had to pull
- 44:22Speaker 15: these chocolates out of the bags. It's a very embarrassing blunder.
- 44:27Speaker 15: But it's really the state of the Tories at the moment.
- 44:30Speaker 15: They are definitely not in favor here. There's a lot
- 44:32Speaker 15: of people very annoyed given they had so much time
- 44:35Speaker 15: in office, Chris, and now they're saying they'll fix all
- 44:38Speaker 15: these problems like migration and rising cost of living. But
- 44:43Speaker 15: the answer is always well, what did you guys do?
- 44:45Speaker 15: You had government for over a decade. So Kemmy Beadenoch
- 44:49Speaker 15: has an awfully tough challenge on her hands. But it
- 44:52Speaker 15: will be interesting today to hear from Tony Abbott to
- 44:55Speaker 15: see what he has to tell them about how they
- 44:58Speaker 15: can stop the migrant problem.
- 45:00Speaker 3: Greatest stuff, Sophie, Thanks for joining us as ever a
- 45:02Speaker 3: Sophie Ellsworth there on the scene and all over.
- 45:04Speaker 2: It as usual.
- 45:05Speaker 3: And yes, if you want to run a country, best
- 45:07Speaker 3: you know how to spell it, although I was involved
- 45:10Speaker 3: in a very major spelling this app in an election
- 45:13Speaker 3: campaign eons ago. Now coming up after the break of course,
- 45:17Speaker 3: Causio Brian and Stephen Sena Tiampa lots to talk about,
- 45:20Speaker 3: including Greta.
- 45:21Speaker 2: Toumberg finally deported from Israel.
- 45:27Speaker 3: Let's get into our Tuesday panel with News Corps National
- 45:30Speaker 3: Education Editor Susio Brian joining us from Melbourne and from camera,
- 45:34Speaker 3: of course, the host of two Double see his breakfast there.
- 45:36Speaker 2: Stephen Sena Tiampo, thanks jose both for joining us. Why
- 45:40Speaker 2: don't we go straight to Greta Toumberg.
- 45:41Speaker 3: It's good that she survived her ordeal in the hands
- 45:45Speaker 3: of the Israeli military.
- 45:47Speaker 2: She's in Greece. Now have a listener to what she
- 45:49Speaker 2: had to say.
- 45:51Speaker 4: Let me be very clear, there is a Jena side
- 45:54Speaker 4: going on in front of her, very high, a live
- 45:57Speaker 4: streams Jena side.
- 45:59Speaker 11: On all of her.
- 46:00Speaker 2: No one has the privilege to see.
- 46:03Speaker 8: We are not aware of what is happening.
- 46:06Speaker 2: What a hopeless joke she is, Stephen.
- 46:09Speaker 3: What really irked me was when she was pretending she'd
- 46:13Speaker 3: been abducted and saying this at the time that at
- 46:16Speaker 3: least twenty live hostages remain.
- 46:18Speaker 2: In the hands of Hamas. It doesn't say a lot
- 46:22Speaker 2: for homeschooling, does it.
- 46:24Speaker 16: I mean, you know, the reality is that you've got
- 46:26Speaker 16: an ignorant child who has never grown up and has
- 46:28Speaker 16: never been told no, now getting in the way of
- 46:31Speaker 16: important international issues.
- 46:33Speaker 2: The question is why is she in Greece? Did Sweden
- 46:36Speaker 2: not want her back?
- 46:37Speaker 16: I mean, I actually has a problem with Sweden because
- 46:39Speaker 16: apparently the drones that they sent to interrupt the flotilla
- 46:42Speaker 16: were playing Abba music. So not a fan of her
- 46:45Speaker 16: own nation, but it's time to just ignore this girl
- 46:48Speaker 16: and stop giving you the fifteen minutes of fame over
- 46:51Speaker 16: and over and over again.
- 46:52Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Greece is closer, so they would to
- 46:53Speaker 3: save some carbon emissions by dropping her off there.
- 46:56Speaker 2: Let's have a look at Donald Trump's had to say
- 46:58Speaker 2: about this.
- 47:00Speaker 17: She has an anger management problem. I think she should
- 47:03Speaker 17: see a doctor. She needs angry. If you ever watch her,
- 47:05Speaker 17: she's a young person. She's so angry, she's so crazy.
- 47:10Speaker 17: Now you can have her, you can have She's just
- 47:12Speaker 17: a troublemaker, Susie.
- 47:15Speaker 3: When Donald Trump calls you crazy and the whole world nods,
- 47:20Speaker 3: something must be right.
- 47:23Speaker 18: Well, the only problem is Donald Trump making those comments
- 47:26Speaker 18: will just play straight.
- 47:27Speaker 2: Into her hands.
- 47:28Speaker 18: That will be the biggest badge of honor that she
- 47:30Speaker 18: can get. I mean, it would have been better off
- 47:32Speaker 18: here if he actually said something good about her, then
- 47:35Speaker 18: she wouldn't be able to use it against her. But no,
- 47:38Speaker 18: I mean him calling her, he's saying she hasn't grown up.
- 47:42Speaker 18: He's sayings she's got an anger management issue. And the
- 47:45Speaker 18: way that he says you can have her.
- 47:47Speaker 8: I mean it is so dismissive.
- 47:49Speaker 18: But she'll be dining out on that for months.
- 47:52Speaker 8: She will, she will.
- 47:53Speaker 3: Indeed, let me stay with you, Susie, and just get
- 47:56Speaker 3: your analysis of the story you broke today about three
- 47:59Speaker 3: thousand student teachers failing the literacy test.
- 48:05Speaker 18: Well, it's absolutely fascinating. The land Tite is a literacy
- 48:08Speaker 18: and numerousy test that teachers have to pass in order
- 48:11Speaker 18: to be able to teach in classrooms across the country,
- 48:15Speaker 18: and we broke the story today that three thousand teachers
- 48:18Speaker 18: did not pass this test the first time. Some of
- 48:22Speaker 18: them had to take about six hundred, took four times
- 48:25Speaker 18: to pass it. And it's extraordinary because this is a
- 48:29Speaker 18: ninth grade test, so it's making sure that teachers are
- 48:33Speaker 18: in the top thirty percent of the adult population, about
- 48:36Speaker 18: equivalent to ninth graders. So they couldn't do things like
- 48:39Speaker 18: spell the word exaggerate, put a comma inner sentence. And
- 48:43Speaker 18: you have to wonder, is it because some of the
- 48:45Speaker 18: cutoff scores for teaching is for a diploma as low
- 48:48Speaker 18: as an eight hour of forty maybe that's where the
- 48:51Speaker 18: problem is.
- 48:52Speaker 3: Indeed, now, Stephen, you're a radio man. You've got a
- 48:56Speaker 3: quick thirty seconds here. The federal government under fire over
- 48:59Speaker 3: Trip zero today. The opposition trying to say the government's
- 49:03Speaker 3: been shoddy. The government just saying it's all Optus is
- 49:06Speaker 3: their political mileage, and this is Anika Wells, the Communications
- 49:09Speaker 3: Minister under pressure.
- 49:12Speaker 2: Well the Minister on training wheels.
- 49:14Speaker 16: No, I think there is political mileage on this because
- 49:16Speaker 16: talking to tech experts, I'm led to believe that there's
- 49:18Speaker 16: really not much Optis could have done here, and they
- 49:20Speaker 16: probably handled this as best as they could. And even
- 49:23Speaker 16: Telstra had a tower outage not that long ago that
- 49:25Speaker 16: nobody was talking about.
- 49:26Speaker 2: So there's clearly a problem with the system.
- 49:29Speaker 16: And the whole structure around our Triple O calls that
- 49:31Speaker 16: the government needs to address.
- 49:33Speaker 3: Steven and Susie, thanks for joining me for a slightly
- 49:36Speaker 3: truncated segment this week.
- 49:38Speaker 2: We've crammed a lot in today.
- 49:39Speaker 3: On October the seventh, don't forget Tomorrow, October the eighth,
- 49:43Speaker 3: you can watch here on Sky News October the eighth,
- 49:46Speaker 3: the documentary airing here seven point thirty tomorrow night.
- 49:50Speaker 2: Here's Peter
