- 0:00Speaker 1: Lately German.
- 0:02Speaker 2: Welcome to the Late Debate. Well, thanks for joining us
- 0:08Speaker 2: on the Late Debate.
- 0:09Speaker 3: I'm James Macpherson with Liz Storer and filling it again
- 0:11Speaker 3: for Caleb Bond, who's hosting The Bolt Report this week.
- 0:14Speaker 2: Is the awesome Joe Who'll.
- 0:16Speaker 1: Thank you, sir.
- 0:16Speaker 4: Obviously I'll be filling in for Andrew Bolt next week.
- 0:20Speaker 4: I'm sure everyone will be totally cool with.
- 0:22Speaker 2: Let's get into the show.
- 0:23Speaker 3: There's a lot we've got to talk about the circuses
- 0:26Speaker 3: coming to Sydney, but the Greens want to shut it down,
- 0:29Speaker 3: which is a surprise to all of us because I
- 0:30Speaker 3: thought the Greens loved clowns. Plus, when we look at
- 0:33Speaker 3: what's making news in tomorrow's papers, taxes to rise in
- 0:37Speaker 3: order to pay for sewage in one of Australia's major
- 0:40Speaker 3: cities and a Northern Territory town with the most confusing
- 0:43Speaker 3: alcohol laws you've ever heard.
- 0:45Speaker 2: We'll talk about all of that a little later, but first.
- 0:48Speaker 3: It's not often that you see One Nation and the
- 0:51Speaker 3: Greens on a unity ticket, but we live in strange time.
- 0:56Speaker 3: South Australian One Nation MP Sarah Game has received support
- 1:00Speaker 3: from the Greens for her proposal to light up Adelaide
- 1:03Speaker 3: monuments for Palestine.
- 1:06Speaker 2: Now, I can understand the Greens calling.
- 1:08Speaker 3: For monuments to be lit up to support Palestine, but
- 1:11Speaker 3: what on earth is a one nation politician thinking calling
- 1:16Speaker 3: for this? Sarah Game wrote to the South Australian Premiere
- 1:19Speaker 3: and in the letter she said, I would like to
- 1:22Speaker 3: see the government light up the city landmarks of Adelaide
- 1:25Speaker 3: to show respect, empathy and solidarity with the South Australian
- 1:29Speaker 3: Palestinian community, which begs the question, of course, lives what
- 1:33Speaker 3: about the South Australian Jewish community.
- 1:36Speaker 2: She goes on to.
- 1:37Speaker 3: Say, by lighting up the city landmarks of Adelaide, you're
- 1:40Speaker 3: not only brightening the physical landscape that's wonderful, but also
- 1:44Speaker 3: illuminating the path toward understanding and cooperation, which of course
- 1:49Speaker 3: begs the question does it not? How do you illuminate
- 1:52Speaker 3: the path to cooperation by lighting up the city on
- 1:55Speaker 3: behalf of only one of the participants in this conflict?
- 2:00Speaker 3: Tell you what has been illuminated, and that's Sarah games
- 2:04Speaker 3: inability to read the room. Sarah Game has been very
- 2:08Speaker 3: good on so many issues.
- 2:10Speaker 2: What on earth has happened to her?
- 2:11Speaker 1: Liz?
- 2:12Speaker 5: I think as the war wears on the war war
- 2:16Speaker 5: war on. People are beginning to not turn in their
- 2:23Speaker 5: opinion on this, but the reality of one side being
- 2:27Speaker 5: more powerful than the other, the reality of the death
- 2:29Speaker 5: count on either side, the reality that there are no
- 2:33Speaker 5: KPIs for this mission to eradicate her mass, and the
- 2:37Speaker 5: realization that in fact, for every killed killed in Palestine,
- 2:42Speaker 5: you've just created ten more Jihadis who will probably hate
- 2:46Speaker 5: Israel till they're dying death because of what has happened
- 2:50Speaker 5: in Gaza since the seventh of October. So I would
- 2:54Speaker 5: love to know her personal reasons, but I certainly know
- 2:58Speaker 5: just amongst the people that I've been talking to, it's
- 3:01Speaker 5: not that sentiment is shifting, or that people's ally ship
- 3:06Speaker 5: and their loyalty to Israel is changing, but certainly a
- 3:11Speaker 5: deeper awareness of what's going on in the ground in Gaza.
- 3:16Speaker 5: Whereas for so long we've been able to just be like, well,
- 3:19Speaker 5: we've got to eradicate her mass, but we've got to
- 3:22Speaker 5: get these hostages back, etc. And so on. I think
- 3:25Speaker 5: people nine months on are just going, well, hang on
- 3:29Speaker 5: a minute, are we ever going to be able to
- 3:30Speaker 5: eradicate her mass? Hang on a minute, do we even
- 3:33Speaker 5: know that the remaining hostages are still alive. Is this
- 3:37Speaker 5: just going to go on forever? And I think it's
- 3:41Speaker 5: genuinely a growing awareness.
- 3:43Speaker 3: Is a growing awareness or is an incredible naivety that
- 3:46Speaker 3: oh gee, war is messy and people get killed and
- 3:49Speaker 3: it tends to go on for a long period of time.
- 3:51Speaker 3: I should point out that the South Australian Premiere and
- 3:54Speaker 3: the Liberal Opposition have rejected Sarah Game's suggestion. Right Pauline
- 3:58Speaker 3: Hanson was asked to comment on her MP suggestion and
- 4:02Speaker 3: she declined to do so. I dare say, knowing Flen Hansen,
- 4:05Speaker 3: there's a couple of discussions happening behind the scenes.
- 4:07Speaker 4: She's previously said that Palestine and Hamas are one and
- 4:09Speaker 4: the same, so I'm.
- 4:10Speaker 1: Pretty sure she's not going to be.
- 4:12Speaker 4: Backing lighting up the city of Adelaide in support of
- 4:14Speaker 4: her mass if she thinks of the same thing. I
- 4:16Speaker 4: thought that was excellent analysis, Liz, but I think this
- 4:18Speaker 4: actually gives.
- 4:19Speaker 1: Far too much credit to Sarah Gabe.
- 4:20Speaker 4: What we are seeing here is a classic example of
- 4:23Speaker 4: the far right and the far left bending around and
- 4:26Speaker 4: ending up thinking and saying and supporting the same things.
- 4:30Speaker 4: This is not the first time that this has happened.
- 4:32Speaker 4: In fact, I was talking to a four source of
- 4:35Speaker 4: minor former Green who reminded me during the bidds the boycott,
- 4:41Speaker 4: divestment and sanctions campaign against Israel many many years ago,
- 4:45Speaker 4: about a decade ago, some of the crazies that this
- 4:49Speaker 4: attracted to the Greens campaign.
- 4:50Speaker 1: Now, this was a Greens campaign.
- 4:52Speaker 4: It was led primarily by the mayor of Marrickville or
- 4:58Speaker 4: mayor of Leichhart, sorry I think it was who ran
- 5:00Speaker 4: for the state seat of Merrickfield who was a Greensman.
- 5:02Speaker 4: They took it over and so we had a local
- 5:04Speaker 4: council doing foreign policy on the run calling for a
- 5:08Speaker 4: boycott of Israel. And the funny thing is ten years
- 5:11Speaker 4: ago when you start to go after absolutely the Greens
- 5:13Speaker 4: have been going after Israel for years and years, and
- 5:16Speaker 4: he has nothing to do with his current invasion or
- 5:18Speaker 4: attack or ground war against Gaza or whatever they want
- 5:21Speaker 4: to call it.
- 5:21Speaker 1: They have been after forever.
- 5:24Speaker 4: And who do they get showing up to one of
- 5:27Speaker 4: their little fundraisers to support their campaign against Israel But
- 5:31Speaker 4: a certain Holocaust denier who obviously denying the Holocaust, has
- 5:37Speaker 4: pretty extreme far right views and pretty extreme far right
- 5:41Speaker 4: links and this guy rocks up to their fundraiser and
- 5:44Speaker 4: he's all for it, and they're all on the same side.
- 5:47Speaker 4: So the far right and the far left end up
- 5:49Speaker 4: on the same side.
- 5:50Speaker 3: I pick you up on that, though, aside from I'm
- 5:52Speaker 3: not sure Pauline Hanson would like to be characterized as
- 5:55Speaker 3: far right, but in.
- 5:57Speaker 5: A shame category as a Holocaust tonight.
- 6:00Speaker 3: Game is not representing one nation policy she's going against.
- 6:05Speaker 1: So you end up.
- 6:06Speaker 4: Again, this is what happens when you drift too far
- 6:08Speaker 4: from the center of the mainstream of politics. This is
- 6:12Speaker 4: what happens. You end up going so far to the
- 6:13Speaker 4: edge that it loops around again and again. An example,
- 6:16Speaker 4: another example where they're on a unity ticket. The Greens
- 6:18Speaker 4: and people on the hard right are now fully supporting
- 6:21Speaker 4: Julian Assange, while people in the middle of are like,
- 6:23Speaker 4: hang on a minute, there's something about but if you
- 6:25Speaker 4: about this guy, they've got you know, you know, for
- 6:27Speaker 4: better or worse. But you've got Bernie Sanders supporters and
- 6:30Speaker 4: Donald Trump supporters who are all in on Julian Nossange,
- 6:33Speaker 4: which I know we're going to talk about later. So
- 6:34Speaker 4: this is a phenomenon politics. It comes up again and again.
- 6:37Speaker 5: And again I don't think we can describe it as
- 6:40Speaker 5: a phenomenon and gospel truth when you've just brought up
- 6:44Speaker 5: not even a handful of examples, all involving one person.
- 6:48Speaker 5: So one Holocaust denier attended this thing in Marritckville ten
- 6:51Speaker 5: years ago, and Sarah game, who's.
- 6:53Speaker 1: The great on the greens and helments? No, no.
- 7:00Speaker 4: Them an empire, that's Ottoman Empire joined Kaiser Wilhelm the
- 7:05Speaker 4: Second's World War right because of the Kais of Wilhelm's side,
- 7:11Speaker 4: a little gus, Come on, guys, you know we've got
- 7:13Speaker 4: so much in common. You know, we both I don't
- 7:15Speaker 4: know nothing the Jews. We both got to sing against
- 7:19Speaker 4: the Jews. And that was one of the little sweetness
- 7:21Speaker 4: that was part of the propaganda that the Kais Wilhem
- 7:23Speaker 4: put out there. And again, this is when Jews were
- 7:25Speaker 4: actually fighting for the Germans. So that was an even
- 7:28Speaker 4: more horrendous betrayal. But I can absolutely promise you there
- 7:31Speaker 4: is if you think there is no link, I mean
- 7:33Speaker 4: there are far right groups everywhere who are pro Palestine
- 7:37Speaker 4: because they think it will sort out the Jews.
- 7:39Speaker 5: For the current lump the far right in there these days,
- 7:42Speaker 5: anyone with a critical thought in their head is called
- 7:44Speaker 5: far right.
- 7:45Speaker 4: I think, look, I understand why people vote for one
- 7:47Speaker 4: nation are attracted to it, but some of the stuff
- 7:49Speaker 4: they say, I think you could pretty much pretty easily
- 7:51Speaker 4: characterize if one nation have got again, although again it
- 7:54Speaker 4: also mixed up as well. It also joins far left
- 7:56Speaker 4: because a lot of these hard ride are far right
- 7:58Speaker 4: whatever you want to call parties, are also really anti capitalism,
- 8:02Speaker 4: anti liberal economics. So again you see this thing where
- 8:05Speaker 4: they join up with people, you know, socialist parties. That's
- 8:09Speaker 4: certainly nationalized interest, that's certainly not one nation.
- 8:11Speaker 3: But whatever problems one nation might have with Sarah Game,
- 8:13Speaker 3: they are nothing compared to the problems that Anthony Albernizi
- 8:16Speaker 3: has got with his West Australian Labor senator who's crossed
- 8:20Speaker 3: the floor to vote in favor of Palestinian statehood despite
- 8:25Speaker 3: the fact it's still governed by a terrorist organization. And
- 8:28Speaker 3: of course news tonight many people watching would have heard
- 8:31Speaker 3: it already that the Labour Party have said there will
- 8:33Speaker 3: be no discipline of her whatsoever.
- 8:35Speaker 5: Of course, not because we know that Albo cannot discipline
- 8:41Speaker 5: such a member.
- 8:42Speaker 3: We know that he owned we can't discipline anybody, Andrew Giles.
- 8:46Speaker 5: But this is supposed to be in the Federal Labor Party.
- 8:50Speaker 5: This is an expulsionable, absolutely dept ground free period. That
- 8:56Speaker 5: is it. That is supposed to be game over. If
- 8:59Speaker 5: you're a Labor member and you cross the floor on
- 9:01Speaker 5: your party, you are saying goodbye. But of course in
- 9:05Speaker 5: this context the rules just don't apply, do they, Because
- 9:08Speaker 5: if you're on Elbow's side on this, he knows and
- 9:12Speaker 5: he can't lay the SmackDown because we've all seen the
- 9:14Speaker 5: footage of him at his pro Palestinian We've all we've
- 9:18Speaker 5: all had not on her side.
- 9:20Speaker 1: The fact that she end well, this is the first
- 9:23Speaker 1: not on his side.
- 9:23Speaker 2: And this is not the first time she's defied him.
- 9:26Speaker 5: Mean Anthony, he says, she's not truly defying him. She
- 9:29Speaker 5: is defying the party line.
- 9:32Speaker 1: Most the party line.
- 9:35Speaker 3: First of all, he said, from the River to the
- 9:37Speaker 3: Sea has no place in Australia. But she repeated that phrase.
- 9:41Speaker 3: Now she's gone against Labor Party policy. The big problem
- 9:44Speaker 3: for Anthey Alberanezi is she's a young woman and she's
- 9:47Speaker 3: the first Muslim in Parliament to.
- 9:52Speaker 1: He needs the numbers in the Senate as well.
- 9:53Speaker 3: It's not the pro for the Labour Party with diversity
- 9:56Speaker 3: picks because she's very young to have been on the
- 9:58Speaker 3: Senate ticket, but the obviously loved the fact she was
- 10:01Speaker 3: a Muslim.
- 10:02Speaker 1: I think he was young, and.
- 10:05Speaker 4: I think it is a problem when you when you're
- 10:07Speaker 4: not even sort of diversity piece. But yeah, this sort
- 10:09Speaker 4: of ticker box thing where we think, all right, this
- 10:11Speaker 4: will look great for our cred. You know, we've got
- 10:13Speaker 4: someone in a hijab. You know, this will get them
- 10:15Speaker 4: voted in on a diversity So yeah, I think I
- 10:18Speaker 4: think that is a problem. And I think there is
- 10:21Speaker 4: a problem also with the Labor Party not really knowing
- 10:25Speaker 4: what it stands for, where it stands on this issue
- 10:28Speaker 4: and what it actually stands for, not having a clearly.
- 10:30Speaker 1: Thought out policy.
- 10:31Speaker 4: I think it was caught blindsided by October seven in
- 10:34Speaker 4: much the same way Israel itself was, and it hadn't
- 10:36Speaker 4: actually worked out.
- 10:37Speaker 5: We just discussed last night. They went all that blind side.
- 10:40Speaker 4: No, no, that's right, the tops were. But yeah, clearly clearly
- 10:45Speaker 4: Labor like I mean, if you looked at the hawk
- 10:47Speaker 4: Keating days and even you know, even Bob Carr when
- 10:50Speaker 4: he was actually in government.
- 10:52Speaker 1: Before he sort of switched sides after.
- 10:54Speaker 4: In retirement, Labor was very very clearly pro Israel.
- 10:59Speaker 1: Labor was very very earlier friend of his eye.
- 11:00Speaker 4: There's no equivocation about you's absolute right to exist and
- 11:03Speaker 4: defend itself. And since then the character of you know,
- 11:07Speaker 4: when labor's in opposition for a long time, it tends
- 11:09Speaker 4: to drift off to the left, it tends to become
- 11:11Speaker 4: a party of protests in to the party of practice.
- 11:13Speaker 5: Well, you always do this. You're like, there's two labor parties.
- 11:17Speaker 5: When the fight's in charge, they get everything right and
- 11:19Speaker 5: they're amazing. It's only when the left's in charge then.
- 11:22Speaker 4: It all looks that's why it's all gone to rubbish. Now,
- 11:28Speaker 4: look a look at how Chris Mins has responded compared
- 11:30Speaker 4: to Albo's response. Look how Peter Malnowskus has responded compared
- 11:34Speaker 4: to the federal government's response. It's right there in front
- 11:36Speaker 4: of you for everyone to see. This is not just
- 11:38Speaker 4: me saying it. This is happening in real life. This
- 11:41Speaker 4: is happening right now, like you've got people around it.
- 11:44Speaker 4: Your colleagues are saying it. On the right of saying
- 11:46Speaker 4: a praising Chris Mins for his strong stands.
- 11:47Speaker 1: So yes, well, certainly not.
- 11:49Speaker 5: And I'm on the right, So how about that and
- 11:53Speaker 5: his strong stands? What has he done except for a
- 11:55Speaker 5: pile of empty The.
- 11:57Speaker 3: Jewish community would say that he's been very good and.
- 12:00Speaker 5: He has not named me one thing that he's done,
- 12:03Speaker 5: namely one thing that he's done. He's said all the
- 12:05Speaker 5: right things, but he's done absolutely.
- 12:08Speaker 3: Jewish community members I've spoken to are very appreciative of
- 12:10Speaker 3: Chris minsro Well.
- 12:12Speaker 5: I'm happy for them to be glad of it, but
- 12:14Speaker 5: I don't see his support. I'm sorry. Everyone else is
- 12:17Speaker 5: nothing but lip service to Queensland. Now where a petition
- 12:21Speaker 5: of over three thousand, six hundred people requesting, hey, you
- 12:26Speaker 5: know all that health advice that you use to lock
- 12:29Speaker 5: us down, treat us like animals, mandate jabs, so end businesses,
- 12:34Speaker 5: lockdown schools, et cetera, and so on, can we please
- 12:37Speaker 5: see some of that has been given a flat no
- 12:41Speaker 5: by the Queensland government. Oh quote Health Minister Shannon Fentaman,
- 12:46Speaker 5: famously the woman who doesn't know what a woman is,
- 12:49Speaker 5: she says, Queensland's Chief Health officer issued to public health
- 12:53Speaker 5: directions to manage the spread of COVID nineteen throughout the community,
- 12:57Speaker 5: including requirements for COVID nineteen vaccination. You can already tell
- 13:01Speaker 5: this is just going to be an empty word, salad,
- 13:04Speaker 5: But I digress. In making these public health directions, the
- 13:07Speaker 5: Chief Health Officer relied on advice from a variety of sources. Specifically,
- 13:12Speaker 5: the Chief Health Officer met daily with doctors, epidemiologists, infectious
- 13:17Speaker 5: diseases specialists, and public health experts about COVID nineteen and
- 13:21Speaker 5: the extraordinary and emergency measures necessary to protect public health.
- 13:28Speaker 5: Thank you for the extensive words, salad lady. Of course,
- 13:31Speaker 5: what she's really saying is, how about we give you
- 13:36Speaker 5: nothing and you shut up and take it. We know
- 13:40Speaker 5: that we'd shut you down for months on end. We
- 13:43Speaker 5: know that businesses hit the walls. We know that kids
- 13:45Speaker 5: didn't get to school, people didn't get to say goodbye
- 13:48Speaker 5: to their dying relatives, and we forced you, unless you
- 13:52Speaker 5: wanted to lose your job, to get a job. Still
- 13:55Speaker 5: in trial phases, the list goes on, the social distancing,
- 13:59Speaker 5: the mandate tree masking. But no, no, where. We don't
- 14:03Speaker 5: know you anything. It's not like we work for you.
- 14:05Speaker 5: It's not like we live on the taxpayer dime. It's
- 14:08Speaker 5: not like we were elected to represent you, and almost
- 14:13Speaker 5: four thousand of you have just told us, Hey, we'd
- 14:16Speaker 5: really like to see some answers. How about an email chain?
- 14:20Speaker 5: How about what.
- 14:21Speaker 4: I think this confirms what we've sort of already know
- 14:23Speaker 4: and what Faucci basically said, which is that they were
- 14:25Speaker 4: sort of making it up as they went along.
- 14:27Speaker 1: Yeah, zero, a little.
- 14:30Speaker 4: Huddle and say all right, what new measure we're going
- 14:32Speaker 4: to introduce now? And some of this you can understand.
- 14:33Speaker 4: And again I can understand if something new. You are
- 14:36Speaker 4: making decisions on the fly, you don't necessarily always.
- 14:38Speaker 1: I think you can still.
- 14:39Speaker 5: Show people that the problem made Joe, how were those interesting?
- 14:42Speaker 4: They showed all the email trawels of the hotel quarantine,
- 14:45Speaker 4: and again it was just such a missmash of all
- 14:48Speaker 4: these people ducking responsible.
- 14:49Speaker 2: Can we go back to show us that, go.
- 14:51Speaker 5: Back to show us that, show us how much of
- 14:53Speaker 5: a crap show it was that you arrived at these things?
- 14:57Speaker 5: Go millions of people.
- 14:58Speaker 2: Go back to what you very accurately just rib as
- 15:00Speaker 2: a word seller.
- 15:01Speaker 3: But in the salad there is a little morsel of
- 15:04Speaker 3: information there.
- 15:05Speaker 2: She says.
- 15:06Speaker 3: They relied on quote advice from a variety of sources. Now,
- 15:11Speaker 3: I think when we had these daily press conferences where
- 15:13Speaker 3: they said, you know, only ten people will be able
- 15:15Speaker 3: to attend a graveside funeral because the health advice is
- 15:20Speaker 3: when they said that, you know, it's better to drink
- 15:22Speaker 3: and be a standing up than sitting down with a
- 15:24Speaker 3: health advice.
- 15:25Speaker 5: Health advice.
- 15:26Speaker 2: We all listen to that and we assume, well, there.
- 15:27Speaker 3: Must be a piece of paper somewhere where someone studiously,
- 15:30Speaker 3: but now you here it is advice from a variety
- 15:35Speaker 3: of sources, which actually means the decisions were made by everybody,
- 15:39Speaker 3: which means nobody can hold anybody responsible.
- 15:42Speaker 2: That's essentially what they're But the least that you.
- 15:44Speaker 5: Owe people is just being like, okay, So in terms
- 15:48Speaker 5: of shutting down the schools, here's the people who are
- 15:51Speaker 5: involved in that decision.
- 15:52Speaker 2: With so many people they can't nominate who. It was
- 15:55Speaker 2: a general vibe.
- 15:57Speaker 4: I'll tell you, I'll tell you, I'll tell you what
- 15:58Speaker 4: was involved in the shutting down schools. And again I
- 16:01Speaker 4: remember it like it was yesterday. Anastagia Palichet held a
- 16:04Speaker 4: press commons do a great credit and said schools in
- 16:07Speaker 4: Queensland will remain open. The Queensland Teachers Union then had
- 16:11Speaker 4: to stop work meeting the next day and the day
- 16:12Speaker 4: after and Stagia Palasa say, actually, schools are.
- 16:15Speaker 1: Going to be closed. That was the medical advice.
- 16:16Speaker 4: It was a teacher's stop work meeting, so that teachers
- 16:19Speaker 4: union stop work meeting.
- 16:20Speaker 5: We'll speaking around so close did she say on medical advice.
- 16:25Speaker 4: This is hot? It was just I'm not sure if
- 16:28Speaker 4: she even had a coach to read it. But I'd written
- 16:30Speaker 4: this and said it time and time and time again.
- 16:32Speaker 4: And this is why there was such little faith in
- 16:35Speaker 4: so many public health matters, because it was clearly being
- 16:37Speaker 4: dictated for political purposes, and it was clearly being done
- 16:40Speaker 4: on the fly.
- 16:41Speaker 3: And again let's combine those two things, the unions and
- 16:44Speaker 3: on the fly. Have a look at this vision from
- 16:46Speaker 3: September twenty twenty where unions paid for are planing to
- 16:50Speaker 3: fly across Brisbane showing a sign that says we are
- 16:53Speaker 3: safe because she is strong talk about doing things on
- 16:57Speaker 3: the fly. That was literal, and it was what did
- 17:00Speaker 3: clear What the strategy was, wasn't it? It was to
- 17:02Speaker 3: listen to all the advice that was maccaron and that
- 17:07Speaker 3: by rendso the fear they would win the next lection, which.
- 17:09Speaker 5: Unbelievable to me, that a this many people just went
- 17:13Speaker 5: along with the narrative, props to the people who were
- 17:16Speaker 5: just like, I don't believe you, and now allow them
- 17:20Speaker 5: to duck accountability. You don't get to do that. This
- 17:24Speaker 5: reminds me of the UK inquiry into all this. In January,
- 17:28Speaker 5: it was revealed that the chief health officer in Scotland
- 17:32Speaker 5: got him and his entire team, including Nicolas Sturgeon, the
- 17:37Speaker 5: first Minister of Scotland at the time, to daily delete
- 17:41Speaker 5: their WhatsApps. What does that tell you the disdain with
- 17:45Speaker 5: which these elites treated their people during that period and
- 17:50Speaker 5: continue to by being like, aha, deleted it all. Zero accountability.
- 17:55Speaker 5: Can't even read you what we said to each other
- 17:57Speaker 5: or how we arrived at these conclusions that literally destroyed
- 18:03Speaker 5: the human rights of millions of people in our country.
- 18:06Speaker 5: Oh well, just too bad. We don't have, as Fentimen says,
- 18:10Speaker 5: or we don't have a truncated version of the advice.
- 18:14Speaker 1: For any We don't have one.
- 18:16Speaker 5: Don't there is there.
- 18:17Speaker 3: It's because when they said they were following health advice,
- 18:20Speaker 3: we assumed they were consulting medical doctors. They actually meant
- 18:23Speaker 3: spin doctors.
- 18:26Speaker 1: Well, they in Victoria, they actually were in Victoria.
- 18:28Speaker 4: They did research to find out how the messaging was
- 18:31Speaker 4: being received and.
- 18:32Speaker 1: Was all based on it.
- 18:34Speaker 4: It was staggering and it was and there was just
- 18:36Speaker 4: a complete lack of reasonableness as well, and you know,
- 18:38Speaker 4: and I think in some cases that provoked equally unreasonable responses.
- 18:42Speaker 4: But you know, the idea that you know, and again
- 18:44Speaker 4: I can understand people saying, look, we don't know about
- 18:46Speaker 4: this sort of thing, but it's probably best if you
- 18:48Speaker 4: stay more than spitting distance away from someone. But the
- 18:51Speaker 4: idea then that you would have this absolute, hard and
- 18:53Speaker 4: fast enforcement of these kind of vague guidelines that you
- 18:57Speaker 4: think might work but you're not entirely sure, and they're
- 18:59Speaker 4: not basedly but anyone who breaches them would then be
- 19:02Speaker 4: met with the full force of the law or publicly
- 19:04Speaker 4: shamed into being a granny killer. That I think is
- 19:07Speaker 4: the real problem. And I think that says almost as
- 19:09Speaker 4: much about this really nasty mob mentality that can so
- 19:12Speaker 4: easily be unleashed in people by a strong sort of
- 19:17Speaker 4: popping deliberately, Joe, they reorganize the.
- 19:22Speaker 5: Peer and we saw people turn against good people. That
- 19:26Speaker 5: was more frightening than almost anything else. But to a
- 19:30Speaker 5: story now that you will literally not be able to
- 19:34Speaker 5: believe and potentially may not be able to keep your
- 19:37Speaker 5: dinner down due to your level of utter fury. This
- 19:41Speaker 5: one comes out of Germany, where a woman is now
- 19:45Speaker 5: being sent to jail for criticizing sending mean texts to
- 19:52Speaker 5: a rapist. In Germany back in twenty twenty, a young
- 19:56Speaker 5: fourteen year old German girl was gang by a group
- 20:01Speaker 5: of over eleven men. Nine of them well, their DNA
- 20:06Speaker 5: was all over her, so it was pretty easy to
- 20:09Speaker 5: identify them. They'd also been whatsapping each other, calling each
- 20:13Speaker 5: other saying, hey, there's this girl in the park, come
- 20:16Speaker 5: join us, and so you can only imagine the ensuing scenes.
- 20:21Speaker 5: Some of them filmed it on their phones. Not a
- 20:24Speaker 5: hard case to convict, you'd think, And yet let's read
- 20:29Speaker 5: it straight from the publica. Despite DNA and WhatsApp evidence,
- 20:33Speaker 5: eight of the nine men convicted walked free with probation
- 20:36Speaker 5: and spent no time in prison at all. The ninth
- 20:39Speaker 5: was sentenced to two years and nine months in prison
- 20:42Speaker 5: without parole. Angered by the news of the case, a
- 20:46Speaker 5: twenty year old woman from Hamburg messaged the number through WhatsApp.
- 20:51Speaker 5: The targeted rapist then reported the woman to the police
- 20:55Speaker 5: and she was charged with sending him insulting messages. The
- 20:58Speaker 5: woman has now been convicted and sentenced to a weekend
- 21:01Speaker 5: in prison for her remarks, meaning that she will have
- 21:03Speaker 5: spent more time in jail than eight of the nine rapists.
- 21:09Speaker 5: What do you think these techs said? Like they literally
- 21:13Speaker 5: all she wrote was a dishonorable rapist pig, two disgusting miscarriage.
- 21:19Speaker 5: Don't really get that one, but three. Aren't you ashamed
- 21:23Speaker 5: when you look in the mirror. She has gone to
- 21:25Speaker 5: jail for speaking to someone who, by the way, all
- 21:29Speaker 5: of them weren't German. Hence the outrage amongst the Germans
- 21:35Speaker 5: that this fourteen year old had been beset upon these
- 21:38Speaker 5: guys and got zero justice. But I don't even have
- 21:44Speaker 5: words for this case that we are now in a situation.
- 21:47Speaker 5: By the way, this woman who's just gone to jail
- 21:50Speaker 5: is one of one hundred and forty people being investigated
- 21:54Speaker 5: for making harmful comments toward the rapists. What a great
- 21:58Speaker 5: use of police time.
- 22:00Speaker 3: Well, people were so outraged by this result that someone
- 22:03Speaker 3: got one of the phone numbers to one of these
- 22:05Speaker 3: rapists and broadcaster online. Hence there were one hundred and
- 22:09Speaker 3: forty people plus this woman who all saw the phone
- 22:12Speaker 3: number and thought, well, I'm going to have my say.
- 22:14Speaker 3: But a psychiatrist gave evidence at the rape trial to
- 22:18Speaker 3: say that perhaps in gang raping this fourteen year old
- 22:23Speaker 3: girl that they were venting their frustrations, felt as migrants
- 22:28Speaker 3: and as people who were experiencing homelessness, and therefore the
- 22:32Speaker 3: court should show them leniency, which the court appears to
- 22:35Speaker 3: have listened to.
- 22:36Speaker 1: Those is just.
- 22:37Speaker 3: But if the German elites are looking to rouse the
- 22:41Speaker 3: population and cause.
- 22:43Speaker 2: Some kind of riot, they're going about it the right thing.
- 22:46Speaker 4: And we've talked on this show about what you know,
- 22:48Speaker 4: seriously bad dudes the alternative for deutsch Land are But
- 22:51Speaker 4: if you want to know why people are voting for
- 22:53Speaker 4: a party that even Marine la Pen's National Front.
- 22:56Speaker 1: Refuses to deal with because it's too extremely people, this
- 22:59Speaker 1: is why.
- 23:00Speaker 4: And people see this they become absolutely furious and they think, well,
- 23:03Speaker 4: if the government is not actually prepared to do anything
- 23:05Speaker 4: about something that is so clearly not just injust, but unjust,
- 23:10Speaker 4: but gritesque like that is the very opposite, this disgraceful
- 23:15Speaker 4: sort of inversion of justice. People see this and they go, right,
- 23:18Speaker 4: I'm going to vote if this is the system, I
- 23:21Speaker 4: will vote for anyone who is vowing to tear the
- 23:23Speaker 4: system down. And you know, again, I find it staggering
- 23:27Speaker 4: that governments and courts are making decisions like these from
- 23:31Speaker 4: their ivory towers and then wondering why there are all
- 23:34Speaker 4: these sort of pitchforks and torches at the base. It's staggering.
- 23:39Speaker 5: Sends the message that it sends to these guys and
- 23:41Speaker 5: others like them is go ahead, yeah, well got away
- 23:46Speaker 5: with a slap on the wrist, not on a bit
- 23:47Speaker 5: of a probationary period.
- 23:49Speaker 1: But another thing at all's.
- 23:50Speaker 3: Actually the racism of low expectations. It's a classic example
- 23:53Speaker 3: of this where because your migrants, you don't understand, right,
- 23:56Speaker 3: it's actually such do you think rape's okay?
- 23:58Speaker 4: Such internalistic view that is actually again a disgustingly grotesque
- 24:06Speaker 4: statement to make about you know, margans with a homeless
- 24:08Speaker 4: But basically, if you're a migrant, or if you're a homeless,
- 24:11Speaker 4: you're more likely to be an evil gang rapist. But
- 24:13Speaker 4: that's okay, we understand, and that of course is absolute
- 24:17Speaker 4: rubbish as well. So these people, in their efforts to
- 24:20Speaker 4: tie themselves into not to be you know, anti racist,
- 24:23Speaker 4: or to be pro you know, pro homeless are actually
- 24:26Speaker 4: showing themselves.
- 24:27Speaker 3: There is another side to this, of course, too, and
- 24:29Speaker 3: that is that europe have allowed mass migration of people
- 24:33Speaker 3: who don't necessarily share European values, especially when it regards
- 24:38Speaker 3: women and the way that women ought to be treated,
- 24:40Speaker 3: and that's something that no one wants to about.
- 24:43Speaker 2: That's a big part of.
- 24:44Speaker 5: The stats that they do. We really, really western countries,
- 24:48Speaker 5: we don't do this. But I noticed in the election
- 24:52Speaker 5: in the Netherlands, which saw another tremendous victory for.
- 24:57Speaker 6: The far right, which isn't far at all. Obviously they're
- 25:00Speaker 6: just reflecting what is now mainstream values in dutch Land,
- 25:05Speaker 6: but they will actually publish crimes committed according to the
- 25:12Speaker 6: races that committed them in their countries, like they are
- 25:15Speaker 6: unashamedly just going. The Dutch do not commit the vast
- 25:20Speaker 6: majority of crime in our country, and of course that
- 25:23Speaker 6: is very instrumental in pushing up the vote amongst the Dutch,
- 25:27Speaker 6: who are just like the Netherlands. For the Dutch, we
- 25:30Speaker 6: are sick of being a overrun by immigrants, these people
- 25:34Speaker 6: who do not share our culture, they do not share
- 25:36Speaker 6: our values, and they prove that by coming here and
- 25:40Speaker 6: committing these crimes on our territory and against our people.
- 25:45Speaker 1: I think the problem is said, why there was.
- 25:47Speaker 5: That wipeout in the European Parliament.
- 25:51Speaker 4: Both to the point, I'm not sure you have to
- 25:53Speaker 4: look at the data. I'm not sure how it goes,
- 25:55Speaker 4: but often you have, you know, with the first influx
- 25:57Speaker 4: of migrants, particularly there from war zones or whatever, there
- 25:59Speaker 4: is a sort of generation where you know, it requires
- 26:02Speaker 4: them settling in, and then it does in the second
- 26:03Speaker 4: generation and whatever. But and I'm all for I'm all
- 26:06Speaker 4: for that. But the problem is we've said, like, you know,
- 26:11Speaker 4: there was you know, everyone I remember, you know, coming
- 26:14Speaker 4: to Sydney and everyone was worried about.
- 26:15Speaker 1: The Asian gang crime.
- 26:16Speaker 4: Asian gang crime was everywhere, and I interviewed a couple
- 26:19Speaker 4: of them myself actually. But again, a generation later, no
- 26:22Speaker 4: one is talking about that, No one is worried about
- 26:24Speaker 4: Asian gang crime.
- 26:24Speaker 1: It's moved.
- 26:25Speaker 4: You know, there's a Middle East gang crime squad. So
- 26:27Speaker 4: that does happen. But the problem is, again it goes
- 26:30Speaker 4: back to this. If a government in seeking to be
- 26:33Speaker 4: touchy feely and work or whatever, is saying, if you
- 26:37Speaker 4: are from this cultural background, we will actually give you
- 26:39Speaker 4: leeway to commit these crimes, we will not punish you
- 26:41Speaker 4: as heavily for committing these crimes. Then you're actually you
- 26:44Speaker 4: are playing right into that kind of as you said,
- 26:47Speaker 4: the Dutch thing, where you're now categorizing crimes according to race,
- 26:50Speaker 4: which I think is pretty hargous and weird and creepy.
- 26:52Speaker 4: But you are encouraging that if if you are not
- 26:55Speaker 4: if the governments, this is what I'm saying, is that
- 26:58Speaker 4: if the governments are not going to treat all criminals equally,
- 27:03Speaker 4: regardless of their background, then you are going to see
- 27:07Speaker 4: again far right parties or populist parties, whatever you want
- 27:09Speaker 4: to call them, say, well, all right, well, if you're
- 27:12Speaker 4: going to treat people differently because of race, we'll start
- 27:14Speaker 4: treating people differently because of race as well. You started it,
- 27:16Speaker 4: and again that is the problem of the left time making.
- 27:19Speaker 3: Just before we move on from that, you mentioned the
- 27:21Speaker 3: far right. I've got to mention Caleb Bond is not
- 27:23Speaker 3: here tonight because he hosted the Bolt Report, but he
- 27:25Speaker 3: is watching, and he texted me during the program to say,
- 27:28Speaker 3: Sarah Gain from One Nation is.
- 27:29Speaker 2: Not far right at that point.
- 27:32Speaker 3: So there you go, Caleb, we got your comment in
- 27:35Speaker 3: even though you're not here, is still working brilliant speaking
- 27:37Speaker 3: of madness, and particularly as it relates to women. The Taliban,
- 27:42Speaker 3: three years after they took over in Afghanistan, still negotiating
- 27:46Speaker 3: with the United Nations who are trying to bring them
- 27:48Speaker 3: in to the League of Nations. There's a meeting happening
- 27:52Speaker 3: next week. But get this, the United Nations are going
- 27:55Speaker 3: ahead with this meeting with the leaders of Afghanistan, despite
- 27:59Speaker 3: the fact that the Taliban have said this meeting must
- 28:02Speaker 3: have no females from Afghanistan present, and whatever's on the agenda,
- 28:07Speaker 3: we will not discuss female rights, despite the fact that
- 28:10Speaker 3: in Afghanistan, once you turn age eleven, you are not
- 28:13Speaker 3: allowed to continue with your education if you are female.
- 28:17Speaker 2: In fact, you're not allowed out the front.
- 28:19Speaker 3: Door of your house of your house if you're a woman,
- 28:21Speaker 3: except that you are covered from head to toe and
- 28:24Speaker 3: with a male chaperone. How can the United Nations agree
- 28:28Speaker 3: to meet with the Taliban when the Taliban are insisting
- 28:32Speaker 3: fifty percent of our nation, in fact, fifty percent of
- 28:35Speaker 3: our nation won't not only be represented, we won't even
- 28:37Speaker 3: talk about them.
- 28:39Speaker 5: Look, these guys don't have a shred of credibility. I
- 28:41Speaker 5: studied the UN first up when I was doing my
- 28:44Speaker 5: master's in human rights, we studied the UN in depth,
- 28:47Speaker 5: and it's just I could.
- 28:49Speaker 1: Not believe it.
- 28:50Speaker 5: I was like, these people are not good people anyway.
- 28:53Speaker 5: But then we see them making moves like putting China
- 28:56Speaker 5: on their human rights counselor getting iedrun late last year
- 29:00Speaker 5: here to share their human rights pow wow, and you're like,
- 29:03Speaker 5: Iran really interesting choice. They're not to be taken seriously
- 29:09Speaker 5: they I mean, and we don't even have to refer
- 29:12Speaker 5: to their behavior since October seven, and how appallingly they
- 29:18Speaker 5: have not even once like wrapped Iran on the knuckles
- 29:22Speaker 5: for the part that they know that they've played in this,
- 29:25Speaker 5: or even once given the smallest word of condolences or
- 29:30Speaker 5: support to Israel. I mean, we're all supposed to part
- 29:33Speaker 5: of be part of this, you know, human family at
- 29:36Speaker 5: the United Nations. They're not united at all. It is
- 29:40Speaker 5: a battering ram that the global elites use to favor
- 29:45Speaker 5: some and cut the others off at the knees, even
- 29:47Speaker 5: when it makes absolutely no sense like this, And imagine
- 29:50Speaker 5: how Afghan women feel expecting the UN to be someone
- 29:56Speaker 5: of an arger of.
- 29:58Speaker 3: Yeah, justice, human right, that's our right.
- 30:01Speaker 1: What happened to believe all.
- 30:02Speaker 4: Women this yep, exactly, it can't seem to see them anywhere.
- 30:07Speaker 4: It's disgraceful. And again it just goes to you know,
- 30:09Speaker 4: once you can die in this. And again it just
- 30:11Speaker 4: goes to show how pathetically shameful the US withdrawal from
- 30:14Speaker 4: Afghanistan was, and how how appallingly just ham fisted it was.
- 30:19Speaker 4: And oh, I don't worry the Taliban, No, they won't
- 30:21Speaker 4: take back over again. And again that's something that governments
- 30:24Speaker 4: of both persuasions of the US have done.
- 30:26Speaker 1: The Kurds were betrayed in Syria as well.
- 30:28Speaker 4: But you know, again, if you are going to Mollycoddle,
- 30:32Speaker 4: and it does seem to be strangely directed at one
- 30:35Speaker 4: particular side, and these sorts of disappears. But if you're
- 30:38Speaker 4: going to model Coddal extremism, if you're going to model
- 30:41Speaker 4: Coddal people who do not share human rights values, do
- 30:45Speaker 4: not share you know, basic human values, let alone Western values,
- 30:48Speaker 4: then what are you going to get.
- 30:50Speaker 3: One of the crazy things that happens is do you
- 30:52Speaker 3: remember when the Taliban were this outrageous terrorist organization? Oh,
- 30:55Speaker 3: I now Glida came along and the Teleban weren't so bad,
- 30:58Speaker 3: and then Isis came along and it went so bad,
- 31:00Speaker 3: and the Taliban were almost sort of school chair and
- 31:05Speaker 3: us that make the Teliban look.
- 31:08Speaker 1: Behind.
- 31:09Speaker 4: September eleven, remember that, that's why we went to war.
- 31:12Speaker 4: That's got us down because the Taliban was supposedly well
- 31:15Speaker 4: the harbor we were told we went so supposedly harboring
- 31:18Speaker 4: in Laden. It turns out it wasn't chemical weapons and
- 31:21Speaker 4: mass destruction in Iraq. After all, it doesn't matter. We'll just,
- 31:23Speaker 4: you know, we'll go off the draw now that you
- 31:25Speaker 4: in a like will agree to be same. We have
- 31:28Speaker 4: to get rid of those people because they're behind the
- 31:29Speaker 4: worst terrorist attack on American soil of all time. We
- 31:32Speaker 4: stay there for twenty years, do a crap ass job
- 31:34Speaker 4: of it, and then when we decide we just can't
- 31:36Speaker 4: be asking and say, oh, maybe they're not that bad
- 31:38Speaker 4: after all, and.
- 31:39Speaker 5: We're even billions of dollars of weaponry and you name it,
- 31:42Speaker 5: we left it for them.
- 31:44Speaker 1: What a beautiful a lot of highluxes.
- 31:46Speaker 3: All right, Liz, we're going to let you introduce this
- 31:48Speaker 3: next topic, because Julian Assange is finally looking like he
- 31:52Speaker 3: will return to Australia.
- 31:54Speaker 2: You've got a couple of minutes to tell us how
- 31:56Speaker 2: one day.
- 31:57Speaker 5: Beautiful day, ladies and gentlemen, because Juange freedom fighter, the
- 32:02Speaker 5: man who exposed more corruption with a few Wiki leaks
- 32:07Speaker 5: than the American government had ever seen before in their
- 32:09Speaker 5: entire military history, which is why they were so humiliated.
- 32:14Speaker 5: The CIA even got together and said, hey, the Trump
- 32:17Speaker 5: administration has asked us if we've got any ideas how
- 32:20Speaker 5: to bump off this guy. Let's give him a few options.
- 32:23Speaker 5: No joke, look it up. The Guardian wrote at length
- 32:26Speaker 5: about it. Just incredible stuff, because of course, if you're
- 32:29Speaker 5: the CIA bumping someone off, it's just you, guys. He's
- 32:34Speaker 5: not the lollipop, not a traitor. This man is a hero.
- 32:39Speaker 5: He literally is a hero. Like I keep saying to governments,
- 32:42Speaker 5: if you don't if you don't want your corruption, which
- 32:46Speaker 5: is a shame, which is a great shame because everyone
- 32:49Speaker 5: still believes that. And I had someone say it to
- 32:52Speaker 5: me today. Well, he's the hacker. He's the hacker, Pete Paul.
- 32:56Speaker 5: It was proved in Chelsea Manning's court martial trial years
- 33:01Speaker 5: ago before she was pardoned by the Biden administration and
- 33:04Speaker 5: is now living up her life being a DJ. Yes,
- 33:07Speaker 5: that is not a joke. So you've got Julian here,
- 33:11Speaker 5: who never did any hacking. It was proved in Chelsea
- 33:14Speaker 5: Manning's court martial trial. Every single document, every single record
- 33:19Speaker 5: that she sent to wiki leaks was well within her
- 33:23Speaker 5: purview to have access to. So she hadn't hacked either, right,
- 33:27Speaker 5: She simply did a data dump and gave it to
- 33:31Speaker 5: wiki leaks. Now, if you want to prosecute him for that,
- 33:35Speaker 5: you need to prosecute The New York Times. You need
- 33:38Speaker 5: to prosecute.
- 33:39Speaker 3: Julianissan is not the journalist out of media outlet.
- 33:43Speaker 5: Oh so what do you think he deserves it?
- 33:45Speaker 2: Because that's a.
- 33:46Speaker 5: Very arguable point.
- 33:47Speaker 3: Do you think Julia side the very arguable You call
- 33:49Speaker 3: Julian Nossandra journalist?
- 33:51Speaker 2: What article has he ever written?
- 33:53Speaker 5: He has done?
- 33:54Speaker 2: He'd a whole.
- 33:55Speaker 3: Lot of information on the Internet without curating it, without
- 33:58Speaker 3: going through and editing it, just dumped hundreds of thousands
- 34:02Speaker 3: of documents on wikileas. That's not it's not journalism. It's
- 34:06Speaker 3: not journalism, and it's not publishing.
- 34:07Speaker 5: He's publishing information online.
- 34:09Speaker 2: He's no more a publisher than I'm a publisher.
- 34:12Speaker 5: Kids on Adam Crichton and earlier on Shark, I love
- 34:16Speaker 5: Adam Crichton the same. No, he is not, and how
- 34:20Speaker 5: on earth? This is why the US couldn't get him.
- 34:23Speaker 5: The years kept passing.
- 34:24Speaker 2: They couldn't get him, kept void.
- 34:27Speaker 5: Time they rolled out the espionage at everyone knows it's
- 34:31Speaker 5: complete bogus. Let's read this tweet from RFK Julian Aissan
- 34:38Speaker 5: struck a plea deal and we'll go free. I am overjoyed.
- 34:42Speaker 5: He's a generational hero. The brad news is that he
- 34:45Speaker 5: had to plead guilty to conspiracy to obtain and disclose
- 34:48Speaker 5: national defense info, which means the US security state succeeded
- 34:52Speaker 5: in criminalizing journalism and extending their jurisdiction globally to non citizens.
- 34:58Speaker 5: Julian had to take this. He has heart problems and
- 35:01Speaker 5: he would have died in prison, but the security state
- 35:03Speaker 5: has imposed a horrifying precedent and dealt a big blow
- 35:07Speaker 5: to freedom of.
- 35:08Speaker 2: He's not the press yet, what do you.
- 35:09Speaker 5: Think WikiLeaks was? It's not was, Yes, it was.
- 35:14Speaker 2: It's not not a publisher, They're not the president.
- 35:21Speaker 5: Newsletter. Are you a journalist? Are you a journalist?
- 35:26Speaker 3: You are publishing Julian, not a journal.
- 35:30Speaker 4: Publishing national security.
- 35:33Speaker 5: Again, that is what the US called the New York
- 35:35Speaker 5: Times problem, because they too have published The New.
- 35:38Speaker 4: York Times, reviewed everything before they published that and make
- 35:41Speaker 4: sure that no one would be in trouble.
- 35:42Speaker 1: That is not the sort of stuff that WikiLeaks, which.
- 35:46Speaker 4: If we wanted to, if we want to, if we're
- 35:47Speaker 4: talking about tweets. So I really enjoyed this one by
- 35:51Speaker 4: Stephen Maine, who shed some phenomenal light on this issue,
- 35:55Speaker 4: great local angle. He said that he'd been told that
- 35:59Speaker 4: it was Kevin Rudd, in fact, Kevin Rudd, using his
- 36:03Speaker 4: impeccable energy's impeccable sources, who managed to get Julian assigned this.
- 36:10Speaker 4: This came from Stephen Main, obviously the founder of krikey.
- 36:13Speaker 4: I'm hearing Keaven Rudd deserves a lot of cutos regarding
- 36:17Speaker 4: the Assange outcome.
- 36:19Speaker 1: I wonder where he's hearing that from.
- 36:21Speaker 4: He must get from wiki leak, because the only two
- 36:26Speaker 4: people you must be on the phone of Julian Massange.
- 36:28Speaker 1: Who else could have you heard it from?
- 36:29Speaker 5: That?
- 36:31Speaker 2: We have got to wrap this up and go to
- 36:32Speaker 2: a break.
- 36:32Speaker 3: When we come back, we'll look at what's making news
- 36:34Speaker 3: in the papers tomorrow, Stay around, Welcome back to the
- 36:41Speaker 3: late debate. Let's look at what's making news tomorrow. Joe Hildebrand,
- 36:45Speaker 3: you've got the Daily Telegraph.
- 36:47Speaker 4: Fine, master, it is yes, albos Gaza test much splash.
- 36:53Speaker 4: Prime Minister Anthony Albanezi is facing pressure to discipline Senator
- 36:57Speaker 4: Fatima Payman after she became the first Labor MP in
- 37:01Speaker 4: eighteen years to cross the floor, this time in support
- 37:05Speaker 4: of Palestinian statehood and I think the first time since
- 37:08Speaker 4: Labor and government. Paul Murray also mentioned this in almost
- 37:12Speaker 4: ge is the best part of half a century.
- 37:14Speaker 1: So it's an appalling, treacherous, terrible act.
- 37:19Speaker 4: And I just wonder there must be some secret polling
- 37:21Speaker 4: out there that shows that Labor and the Albanezi government
- 37:24Speaker 4: is doing incredibly well because they've decided they can afford
- 37:27Speaker 4: to just screw everything up this week and just you know,
- 37:29Speaker 4: you know a point, mat Cain, you know, like let
- 37:32Speaker 4: this too, class of four give it two hundred thousand
- 37:34Speaker 4: dollars pay rise to the GJA.
- 37:36Speaker 1: Fine.
- 37:36Speaker 4: Apparently there's a lot of fat I haven't seen the
- 37:39Speaker 4: polling myself.
- 37:42Speaker 1: There.
- 37:43Speaker 5: Do you genuinely believe Joe that the reason why he
- 37:46Speaker 5: hasn't kicked it to the curb over this is because
- 37:48Speaker 5: he needs the Senate seat.
- 37:50Speaker 1: Question.
- 37:51Speaker 4: Yeah, also there's but I think there's a whole bunch
- 37:53Speaker 4: of reasons that pile up on each other. One is,
- 37:56Speaker 4: obviously there's the cool to hard arithmetic that they are
- 37:59Speaker 4: far more Muslims in Australia there are Jews. I think,
- 38:04Speaker 4: you know, even if you didn't think you were taking
- 38:06Speaker 4: that into consideration, anyone with the political bone in their
- 38:08Speaker 4: body couldn't help but subconsciously do it. I think he's
- 38:12Speaker 4: also probably he's also just, believe it or not a
- 38:16Speaker 4: nice guy and he's loyal, and he sticks with people.
- 38:19Speaker 4: He probably thinks it's to.
- 38:21Speaker 1: Put out down.
- 38:22Speaker 4: I agree that would be against them all if I
- 38:25Speaker 4: was the leader. But and again the same way you've
- 38:27Speaker 4: seen him stand by Andrew Giles as well.
- 38:30Speaker 5: The guy can he not be to people who are
- 38:33Speaker 5: doing their jobs and being awesome.
- 38:35Speaker 3: Look, the crazy thing for Anthony Albanez is just when
- 38:39Speaker 3: you get some good news, i e. The release of
- 38:41Speaker 3: Julius Sans, which he would be claiming credit for. This
- 38:45Speaker 3: is our ability to manage international diplomacy. But you look
- 38:49Speaker 3: at the front page of the Daily Telegraph, which I've
- 38:51Speaker 3: just scrawled all over, but you've got to elbows. Gaza
- 38:54Speaker 3: test and Julia salms the good news.
- 38:57Speaker 1: Good news is reduced to it and again the j.
- 39:00Speaker 4: Two hundred thousand dollars pay rise front page every single
- 39:02Speaker 4: metropolitan newspaper in the country.
- 39:05Speaker 1: Why didn't have to be?
- 39:06Speaker 3: And the other thing now is tomorrow's news is not
- 39:08Speaker 3: about this vote on Palestine. It's about Anthony Alberanzi's leadership.
- 39:13Speaker 3: And it reinforces this narrative that's been running for quite
- 39:16Speaker 3: some time now that he's the handsome boy.
- 39:18Speaker 2: He's the beta. Made you say beta, I say through Tomato.
- 39:26Speaker 5: The Northern Territory News now where the front page splash
- 39:29Speaker 5: reads community goes dry to be able to consume alcohol
- 39:34Speaker 5: just itching for a drink. A Red Center community has
- 39:38Speaker 5: performed legal gymnastics by becoming a dry zone just to
- 39:42Speaker 5: allow residents to be able to have a drink in
- 39:45Speaker 5: their own homes. After flip flopping between being a wet
- 39:48Speaker 5: and dry community, Ichiku Park became an interim alcohol protected
- 39:53Speaker 5: area which residents couldn't opt out of. So my understanding
- 39:57Speaker 5: of the reading of this is that its own. If
- 40:00Speaker 5: you're a dry area, as in, no one can drink
- 40:04Speaker 5: in the pub, in the park, in the out in public,
- 40:06Speaker 5: but you can drink home. They've opted to become a
- 40:09Speaker 5: dry community. Drink.
- 40:11Speaker 1: Didn't know.
- 40:12Speaker 4: This did my head in and I thought it must
- 40:13Speaker 4: be something like that as well. I did a deep
- 40:16Speaker 4: dive on this. Obviously, anything to do with alcohol consumption
- 40:19Speaker 4: is an extreme personal concern to me. So what was
- 40:23Speaker 4: happening was that it was oscillating between being a wet
- 40:27Speaker 4: area and a dry area. So you know, alcohol would
- 40:29Speaker 4: be banned for a while, then you know suddenly, oh no,
- 40:31Speaker 4: it's okay. The band's been lifted, so everyone can drink,
- 40:34Speaker 4: and all other problems that often can that can bring
- 40:36Speaker 4: in remote indigenous communities, and so another band would come
- 40:39Speaker 4: down and that made it entitable for the people who
- 40:42Speaker 4: just want to have a quiet beer in the comfort
- 40:43Speaker 4: of their own home to do it. Now the way
- 40:46Speaker 4: to get out of the way, to get out of
- 40:51Speaker 4: having a dry band imposed on you. Since I think
- 40:54Speaker 4: the troubles I was spins. You had to have an
- 40:56Speaker 4: Instead of an opt in system, it was an opt
- 40:58Speaker 4: out system, so you are un less. A majority of
- 41:01Speaker 4: residents decide to opt out, and they couldn't get a
- 41:04Speaker 4: majority of residents to decide to opt out because they
- 41:06Speaker 4: wanted to be dry. Because again, as we've seen, we
- 41:08Speaker 4: know the problems at alcoholic cause. But it turned out
- 41:12Speaker 4: that you can also apply for a permit to drink
- 41:16Speaker 4: in your own home. So even in a dry area,
- 41:20Speaker 4: you could apply for a permit to drink only in
- 41:22Speaker 4: the privacy of your own home, non in public, no pubs, whatever, whatever.
- 41:25Speaker 4: And so it was actually easier for the people who
- 41:28Speaker 4: wanted to have a drink in Itchikou Park to say,
- 41:31Speaker 4: all right, you know what, we don't forget opting out.
- 41:33Speaker 4: We want to make it a dry area and then
- 41:35Speaker 4: we'll apply for a permit so we can knock over
- 41:38Speaker 4: the VB long Neck. Thank you very much, Australia, You're welcome.
- 41:41Speaker 4: That was brilliant. Finally a story that I a cause
- 41:48Speaker 4: I can get behind.
- 41:49Speaker 2: I just like the name itchiqu Park, It's just a
- 41:51Speaker 2: wonder name.
- 41:52Speaker 1: Let's go under three thousand miles south of Humpty Doo.
- 41:55Speaker 3: Let's go to the front page of tomorrow's Adelaide advertiser.
- 41:59Speaker 3: Mouly in the Pooh who reads the headline bill shock
- 42:01Speaker 3: for water sewer to estates eighty five dollar new house tax.
- 42:05Speaker 2: Here's what the story says. Average water bills will.
- 42:08Speaker 3: Rise by eighty five dollars annually to fund a one
- 42:10Speaker 3: point five billion dollar water and sewer infrastructure surge to
- 42:14Speaker 3: unlock forty thousand home allotments in four years.
- 42:17Speaker 1: Now.
- 42:17Speaker 3: This is in the north of Adelaide, where there's land
- 42:20Speaker 3: waiting to be developed, but the sewage system doesn't extend
- 42:24Speaker 3: out there. Some people have built homes anyway and developments
- 42:28Speaker 3: have gone ahead. But as the article goes on to outline,
- 42:31Speaker 3: at the moment, there are one hundred thousand liters of
- 42:34Speaker 3: sewage every day being trucked out of Adelaide's north because
- 42:39Speaker 3: the system doesn't facilitate it being drained away by the
- 42:43Speaker 3: sewage system. So everyone in South Australia will get an
- 42:46Speaker 3: eighty five dollar tax so that they don't have to
- 42:49Speaker 3: truck the sewage out anymore.
- 42:51Speaker 5: Honestly, I think that is worth it. Who's going to complain?
- 42:54Speaker 4: Yeah, I think anything. I just don't want to know,
- 42:56Speaker 4: just anything involving sewage.
- 42:58Speaker 1: Just make it happen.
- 43:00Speaker 5: That's what pipes are for. Joe, tell us about the eyes.
- 43:03Speaker 1: I will tell you about the eyes and listen.
- 43:04Speaker 4: Intersting one got off one minute guilty the next down
- 43:07Speaker 4: the bottom of the front page. For a few seconds,
- 43:09Speaker 4: Greg Lynn thought he might have got away with it.
- 43:13Speaker 4: He was found not guilty on the verdict was for
- 43:17Speaker 4: the charge of murdering Russell Hill, and yet guilty on
- 43:21Speaker 4: the charge of murdering Carol Clay. So it would appear
- 43:26Speaker 4: that he has murdered. So you've got Russell Hill and
- 43:32Speaker 4: Carol Clay. There's a teenage sweethearts who had then got
- 43:35Speaker 4: back together later in life, and he's been found guilty
- 43:38Speaker 4: of killing her but not him. So when the vertue
- 43:43Speaker 4: raises the question of how did the jury think that
- 43:46Speaker 4: he the other guy died?
- 43:49Speaker 1: And then so they've come back and get that's right,
- 43:51Speaker 1: So they've just been together.
- 43:52Speaker 4: So the Jews come back and say, all right, we
- 43:53Speaker 4: think you killed her but not him, even though they
- 43:57Speaker 4: both disappeared or died together. And this, this, this paragraph
- 44:02Speaker 4: just jumped out of me. The families of Russell Hill
- 44:05Speaker 4: and Carol Clay were both relieved and devastated by the
- 44:09Speaker 4: jury's verdict, respectively.
- 44:12Speaker 1: Well you would be Look, I mean, you just I
- 44:15Speaker 1: just don't how does that sure?
- 44:17Speaker 3: And I imagine he thought he was in the clear
- 44:21Speaker 3: when the first sorry first, he would have thought, oh,
- 44:25Speaker 3: hang on a second, I'm a chance. And what's most
- 44:27Speaker 3: interesting about this story is that the police suspected this
- 44:31Speaker 3: guy for months, well over twelve months. He had no idea.
- 44:35Speaker 3: They were monitoring his home, his car, They were listening
- 44:39Speaker 3: to him, and they were leaking information to the press,
- 44:42Speaker 3: just bit by bit then to see if he would
- 44:45Speaker 3: talk about it. And they actually recorded him talking to
- 44:48Speaker 3: himself in his car having listened to radio broadcasts, and
- 44:53Speaker 3: that was part of the evidence was used to convict him.
- 44:55Speaker 5: Wow. Wow, I just thought the moral of the story
- 44:58Speaker 5: don't talk tou not if you've done.
- 45:01Speaker 4: The moral of the story I think is a like
- 45:05Speaker 4: be consistent. Like it's just at least, you know, like
- 45:08Speaker 4: one other. And I think the second moral of the
- 45:10Speaker 4: story is we can deliver the bad news first. Is
- 45:15Speaker 4: there there like, is there a protocol? There may be
- 45:18Speaker 4: a legal protocol where you have to get all the
- 45:20Speaker 4: not guilties out of the way before you get to
- 45:22Speaker 4: the guilties. But do you think they deliberately said, I know,
- 45:25Speaker 4: will let him have one last little flutter of hope.
- 45:28Speaker 3: Before we sure there's more to it than that, Let's
- 45:31Speaker 3: go to the towns for bulletin.
- 45:32Speaker 5: Listen very goodly before we go forty million cash injections
- 45:36Speaker 5: for renewable zone. We're on the front of the Townsville bulletin.
- 45:41Speaker 5: Townsville is set to receive a forty million investment in
- 45:44Speaker 5: a local renewable energy zone pilot project that aims to
- 45:48Speaker 5: help reduce residents power bills.
- 45:51Speaker 2: And that's all we have on this cycle of.
- 45:54Speaker 5: Being completely an ugly gas lip. Like another forty mil here,
- 45:58Speaker 5: another one trill here. This is in an effort to
- 46:02Speaker 5: get your energy builds down people. I mean, we have
- 46:06Speaker 5: spent billions of dollars in this country already. We are
- 46:09Speaker 5: still waiting to see our energy billing.
- 46:14Speaker 1: It's electricity.
- 46:15Speaker 3: We're going to go to a break stick around when
- 46:17Speaker 3: we come back the circus to Sydney or except maybe
- 46:20Speaker 3: it's not not if the Greens can help it.
- 46:22Speaker 2: That's in a moment.
- 46:25Speaker 3: Well, we mentioned earlier that Caleb Bond, though not on
- 46:28Speaker 3: the program tonight, is home watching sending in his commentary
- 46:31Speaker 3: to correct us and make sure we're all saying the
- 46:33Speaker 3: right things. He's even sent in a photograph of himself
- 46:35Speaker 3: watching the program. Check this out, this glass of we'll
- 46:40Speaker 3: see the cat on the line there as well.
- 46:43Speaker 2: Good on your Caleb.
- 46:44Speaker 3: I hope you're enjoying it, and I hope the cat
- 46:45Speaker 3: is enjoying program. Well, the circus is coming to Eastern Sydney,
- 46:51Speaker 3: but maybe not because the Greens are opposing it. Greens
- 46:55Speaker 3: from the Willara Council say that using animals for entertainment
- 46:58Speaker 3: is quote out of touch with modern society. I love
- 47:01Speaker 3: how the Greens, with ten percent of the vote understand
- 47:03Speaker 3: what modern society wants. Have they never heard of the
- 47:06Speaker 3: zoo or SeaWorld or you know Looney Tunes cartoons, or
- 47:10Speaker 3: don't they have pets? Council at Matthew Robertson said, and
- 47:13Speaker 3: I quote, how can you say animals are enjoying themselves.
- 47:16Speaker 3: They're subject to the flavor of their master's. Society has
- 47:20Speaker 3: moved on. We have to acknowledge the changing community attitude
- 47:23Speaker 3: and the rise in support, particularly among young people, for
- 47:26Speaker 3: animal welfare. It's about respecting the rights of animals and
- 47:29Speaker 3: this is an instance where I think as a council
- 47:31Speaker 3: we should be doing that.
- 47:33Speaker 2: Do you want to know.
- 47:33Speaker 3: How many animals are being used in the Stardust Circus
- 47:36Speaker 3: performance in Eastern Sydney? I'll tell you five dogs and
- 47:40Speaker 3: four goats. That's what the Greens are upset about. I'm
- 47:44Speaker 3: sure the five dogs and four goats will be having
- 47:46Speaker 3: a wonderful time at the circus.
- 47:48Speaker 5: List Indeed, and speaking of circus, aoc who's best known
- 47:54Speaker 5: as America's Lydia Thorpe. Apparently we all have at least one.
- 47:59Speaker 5: She's a Democrat and she's currently campaigning in the Bronx.
- 48:04Speaker 5: Check out this extraordinary display design to get thoats.
- 48:09Speaker 2: If you.
- 48:21Speaker 7: Present it was system. Are you ready a.
- 48:47Speaker 5: Political cringe at its finest America. It's only when you
- 48:53Speaker 5: look at America you actually start feeling better about Australia.
- 48:56Speaker 2: Well that's all we've got time for, but stick around.
- 48:58Speaker 2: Coming up in just a moment, it's the Eat a
- 49:00Speaker 2: Penahesia
- 49:04Speaker 7: H
