Australia Has No Leaders · The Slippery Slope

• 0:10
  Hi, I'm Jay Fallon. Thanks for listening to The
• 0:12
  Slippery Slope. So here in Australia, I believe
• 0:16
  we are, we're suffering. We are currently suffering under
• 0:23
  poor leadership and I think we've had an outbreak of poor
• 0:28
  leadership probably for the best part of a decade.
• 0:31
  We've had poor leadership within our federal federal governments.
• 0:36
  We we currently have an extremely weak, beckless leader
• 0:40
  in Anthony Albanese. We have senators that seem to
• 0:44
  stand up and care more about the rights and issues in the Middle
• 0:50
  East than they care about Australians.
• 0:52
  We have senators that they just disingenuous in what they say.
• 0:58
  They seem to be intent on dividing the nation, dividing
• 1:03
  Australia. They constantly want to look
• 1:06
  back and reinvent history but never want to really talk about
• 1:11
  actual history. They never want to acknowledge
• 1:14
  real history. Far more interested in the
• 1:19
  issues in the Middle East and they're not honest in their
• 1:23
  reflections of the Middle East and the issues that are there.
• 1:27
  We have extremely weak leadership when it comes to
• 1:34
  state premiers, police commissioners over multiple,
• 1:38
  multiple states. For instance, the former police
• 1:42
  commissioner in Queensland, the current police commissioner in
• 1:47
  NSW. It just seems like we have an
• 1:50
  epidemic of all leadership and leadership failures within this
• 1:56
  nation. And I can't, I can't really put
• 2:03
  my finger. I've been trying to work out
• 2:06
  why, how we got here. How do we, how did we raise, how
• 2:10
  did we vote in so many of these all leaders and then others that
• 2:18
  are just bureaucrats? How did they manage to rise
• 2:21
  through the ranks and, and get these positions of power where
• 2:28
  they are decision makers? And yet so many times it seems
• 2:31
  like they cannot make not just not make the right decision.
• 2:38
  So many times it seems like they cannot make any decision.
• 2:41
  It was pointed out to me, I'd already been thinking about
• 2:44
  this, but it was, it was pointed out to me that, you know, we've
• 2:46
  had this, we've had this fire bombing with a synagogue down
• 2:52
  South. I'm in Queensland.
• 2:55
  So we've had this, we've had this bombing of the synagogue,
• 2:59
  the Jewish synagogue. And why did it take Anthony
• 3:03
  Albanese so long to realise that, oh, this was a terrorist
• 3:09
  attack? Why did it take so long?
• 3:12
  And why is it that we are, we're so, so intent on allowing
• 3:22
  protests in favour of the Palestinian movement.
• 3:26
  We, we, it seems like we'll just allow protesters to get up and
• 3:29
  protest about the Palestinian movement and in favour of the
• 3:33
  Palestinian movement and in favour of Hamas, though they can
• 3:37
  get up and say whatever they want in support of Hamas,
• 3:41
  Hezbollah get up there and, and not tell the truth when they're
• 3:45
  protesting. And we, we'll allow that.
• 3:47
  We'll allow destruction on our streets and none of it's really
• 3:52
  called out, emphatically called out.
• 3:55
  Anti semitism has been allowed to grow, to prosper in this
• 4:00
  state, in this nation, especially in NSW, Sydney and
• 4:05
  Melbourne. Anti semitism I believe is rife
• 4:08
  down there and our politicians just will not call it out.
• 4:11
  We have politicians like Lydia Thorpe who constantly reinvents
• 4:18
  history. She's got from the things that
• 4:21
  she says, you know, she's obviously got no other, she's
• 4:24
  got no idea or she's just flat out lying when it comes to the
• 4:29
  Palestinian 'cause that she stands up for.
• 4:32
  And then she's constantly equating the Australian
• 4:36
  Indigenous 'cause you want to say or just Australian
• 4:41
  Indigenous people and what in the history of the Indigenous
• 4:45
  people here in this nation constantly equating that with
• 4:50
  the Palestinian movement. And you know, they, they love
• 4:56
  the slogan. What is it always was, always
• 5:00
  will be. And from the river to the sea, 2
• 5:04
  slogans, which I honestly don't think they really have any, any
• 5:09
  place in Australia at all. Neither of those slogans, even
• 5:14
  the indigenous slogan, always was, always, always will be.
• 5:18
  And if you don't like that, well, whatever.
• 5:22
  But yeah, well, and then you've got other politicians who quite
• 5:26
  frankly, I think if you're a senator, well, quite frankly, I,
• 5:30
  I think that if you weren't born in this nation, I don't think
• 5:33
  you should be allowed to run for, for a political appointment
• 5:36
  here. I just don't think it should be
• 5:38
  allowed. You need to be born here.
• 5:40
  You need to have a stake in the nation and you need to be able
• 5:44
  to be well, you really do need to be honest with your own
• 5:50
  political affiliations and and your own ideologies.
• 5:54
  And if you're more interested in the nation where you came from
• 5:58
  than you are in representing the nation of Australia and the
• 6:01
  people in in Australia, well then go back to the nation where
• 6:05
  you came from. I'm sorry if if you're here and
• 6:09
  then you want to serve in in, in politics, but then all you want
• 6:13
  to carry on about is the people of Palestine, you know, A2 state
• 6:18
  solution, all that rhetoric, go back to Palestine.
• 6:22
  Feel free, but you don't come here to Australia.
• 6:26
  I just don't think if you're not born here, you don't get to run
• 6:31
  for politics in this nation. That's that's how I feel about
• 6:35
  it anyway. So getting back to the topic at
• 6:39
  hand, so poor leadership. I really don't.
• 6:43
  I can't really put my finger on the exact, the exact cause of it
• 6:49
  all. I think a lot of it is, is
• 6:51
  spiritual. If you're looking at from a
• 6:54
  Christian point of view, I think a lot of it relates back to what
• 6:57
  the Bible says in Romans, Romans chapter 1.
• 7:01
  So I think a lot of it is, is spiritual.
• 7:03
  I think we've allowed so much sin in this nation.
• 7:06
  We've got politicians who they've just been blinded
• 7:10
  spiritually and they don't know how to think straight.
• 7:14
  They don't know how to think sensibly with wisdom.
• 7:17
  And that's what I think spiritually is part of the
• 7:20
  problem. If I'm just looking at it
• 7:23
  through a non biblical lens, some of it just seems so crazy.
• 7:30
  You know that like I said, Senator Thorpe, the rhetoric
• 7:35
  that comes out of her mouth, a lot of it doesn't make sense.
• 7:39
  It is divisive. It's dividing the nation.
• 7:43
  Even when she's talking about Indigenous issues, she still
• 7:47
  skirts the truth and she exaggerates so many of the
• 7:52
  issues that are going on. And I don't think she is really
• 7:54
  helping Indigenous issues at all in this nation anyway, and
• 7:59
  definitely not helping by tying herself to the Palestinian
• 8:03
  movement. And then when you've got, like I
• 8:05
  said, elbow, who takes him days to admit that, hey, this was
• 8:10
  terrorism that was that was acted out on this nation, on
• 8:16
  this land and he still can't call it out for days later.
• 8:20
  It's just ridiculous. What kind of leader is that?
• 8:22
  What kind of Prime Minister is that?
• 8:24
  And then I just want to go through another article or I
• 8:27
  won't bring it up. I'll just talk about this other
• 8:29
  article about from police commissioner, the current police
• 8:32
  Commissioner Webb, Karen Webb from NSW, she this headline says
• 8:40
  could have done things differently.
• 8:41
  Police commissioner says after recent controversy, she's
• 8:45
  talking about what happened with, what's his name, Adrian
• 8:48
  Knight, the senior constable who was charged after he after he
• 8:52
  tased the 95 year old great grandmother.
• 8:54
  So yeah, Karen Webb has told 9 News that she could have done
• 8:58
  some things differently, including her actions after the
• 9:02
  Senior constable Christian White was charged with manslaughter.
• 9:05
  Webb spoke out about the sacking of White, which she she's faced
• 9:10
  criticism from Claire Nolan's and Allen's family while she
• 9:14
  while White was found guilty. You know, it took her so long to
• 9:20
  actually get up. It took her far too long to get
• 9:23
  out and initially speak about the incident, she says.
• 9:28
  I understand how how upset her family are, but equally I have
• 9:32
  to follow a process, the legal process.
• 9:35
  White was sacked a week after being found guilty of
• 9:37
  manslaughter. Webb also said she could she
• 9:40
  could have done some things differently.
• 9:41
  When asked about people questioning her leadership, she
• 9:47
  goes and said yeah, I can't change that now.
• 9:49
  Really. I'm looking forward all already
• 9:51
  thinking about what higher areas of focus for 2025.
• 9:55
  The largest group of new police recruits are a focus for the
• 9:58
  commissioner for the new next year, as well as cracking down
• 10:02
  on domestic violence and gang violence.
• 10:04
  So when Webb says that she wants to focus on the, you know, the
• 10:08
  the new police recruits because they've had the the largest
• 10:12
  group of new police recruits, I think it's in NSW history.
• 10:16
  Queensland have also had the same, they've had the largest,
• 10:20
  the largest group of new police recruits in history as well.
• 10:24
  The fact is that poor leadership over the last decade or so drove
• 10:29
  out so many experienced and wanting to be dedicated police
• 10:34
  officers because they felt disenchanted and disenfranchised
• 10:37
  with the the systems that we both had in, in, in both had in
• 10:43
  place. Because people who should not be
• 10:46
  in leadership, many of our many of our top tier leaders within
• 10:52
  Queensland, NSW and Victoria just shouldn't be there.
• 10:56
  Anyway. We've had, I've spoken before a
• 10:58
  number of times how we've had managers instead of actual
• 11:02
  leaders. And that to me, that's what
• 11:05
  Karen Webb is. She's just been a manager.
• 11:08
  She's just been someone who's been able to write a good
• 11:10
  resume. It wouldn't surprise me if she's
• 11:12
  mainly there because of, you know, DEI.
• 11:16
  And I'm not against at all, not against female, female
• 11:21
  leadership in policing, but so many, so many officers, so many
• 11:28
  female police seem to be able to fail upwards so much of the
• 11:32
  time. And it wouldn't surprise me,
• 11:35
  just my opinion, if Karen Webb was one of those.
• 11:39
  Even now, you know, she's had a number of failures over the last
• 11:43
  couple of years still kept in place as the police
• 11:47
  commissioner, our former police commissioner here in QLD,
• 11:50
  Katarina Carroll, she had how many failures did she have?
• 11:54
  How many? It was just, it was embarrassing
• 11:58
  how many times, how many failures she had under her
• 12:00
  watch. And yet it was just, it was
• 12:04
  nothing. She was just allowed to continue
• 12:06
  on on her $600,000 a year paycheck and no, no
• 12:12
  repercussions for her failures. And there was her failures were
• 12:17
  like weekly, constantly. So, yeah, people like Karen,
• 12:21
  Karen Webb can talk about the influx of new police recruits,
• 12:24
  but they are only having all these new police recruits
• 12:27
  because they've had so much leadership failures over the
• 12:32
  last couple of years. They have pushed out good
• 12:34
  officers, pushed out experienced officers.
• 12:37
  And, and, and now you've got to ask, So what, what is the
• 12:41
  quality of police officer that we're going to get if we have
• 12:44
  poor quality in our leadership in police, what kind of police
• 12:49
  recruits are we going to get? But this is the same thing
• 12:52
  that's happened in our federal government.
• 12:54
  We've had poor quality in prime ministers lately.
• 12:59
  And you know, Elbow, elbow was definitely 1 poor, poor quality
• 13:04
  Prime Minister Scomo another one.
• 13:07
  And then what happens when you have a poor quality in your
• 13:11
  prime ministers in in political leaders?
• 13:14
  Well, then we keep getting people like Lydia Thorpe or that
• 13:17
  payment come in who shouldn't even be in politics in any way.
• 13:21
  They're more they're ideologists, they're protesters.
• 13:26
  They're not actually politicians who want to uplift and build the
• 13:31
  nation of Australia. Anyway, this is all just my
• 13:36
  opinion. You let me know what you think.
• 13:39
  Is there something we can do to help the epidemic of poor
• 13:44
  leadership in this nation? Not sure.
• 13:49
  You let me know. I'm Jeff Fallon.
• 13:51
  Thanks for listening to the slippery Slope They.
