  Speaker 1: Into the report.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Good evening, I'm DANIKII Giorgio filling in on the show
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: tonight coming up. China's delegation has been and gone, solidifying
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Albo's reputation as painfully weak on China. Yesterday he was
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: nowhere on the Chung Lei incident. Today he claimed it
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: was clumsy. The fight over one Nation's Robert Irwin cartoon continues.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Pauline Hanson will join us and the monstrosities in the sea.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: We will show you the size of Labour's new South
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Wales wind farm proposal. It takes the word I saw
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: to a whole new level. But first, the Chinese Premier
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Leae tour of Australia came to an end today. It's
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: a tour that can only be described as a complete
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: and utter waste of time. There was really no point
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: in this delegation coming because all this trip has proven
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: is how respect is a one way stream. Beijing officials
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: came here and showed complete contempt by bullying Sky News
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: presenter Chung Li. And this is a disaster for Albanesi.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: It really is a pr disaster. China has labor where
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: they want them, and that's over a barrel and Albo's
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: weakness to stand up to this regime has really been
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: on full display this week.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: The Chinese came here through two pandas at us.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: They smiled, they clapped, and Albo was lapping it up.
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: My government is pro panda. We welcome these beautiful ambassadors
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: who will bring joy, particularly to Australian children for many
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: years to come, and hopefully we'll have a little one
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: of their own.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Yes, it's all very warm, very fuzzy for the cameras
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: and of course the photo opportunities, but behind the scene,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: deans China proved they cannot be trusted. Eight months ago,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Chang Lei was behind bars in a Beijing detention facility
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: over a farcical state secrets accusation which was all rubbish.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Yesterday she was safe in Australia doing her job at
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: a media conference where the big bad bullies from Beijing
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: deliberately blocked her.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: They went to great lengths to block me.
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: I'm only guessing that is to prevent me from saying
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: something or doing something that they think would be a
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: bad look.
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: Itself was a bad look.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Now, despite the delegation showing contempt, Albo claimed it he
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: didn't know anything.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: About it well, I didn't see now.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Today would have been a prime opportunity for the Prime
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Minister to make amends for the merely mouth comments the
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: day before.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: And to stand up for our values. Instead he gave
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: us this.
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: Our officials have followed up with the Chinese embassy to
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: express our concern when when you look at the footage,
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: it was pretty clumsy attempt, frankly by a couple of
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: people to stand in between where the cameras were and
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: where Chang Lai was sitting, and Australian officials intervened as
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: they should have to ask the Chinese officials who were
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: there at the press conference to.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Move clumsy Now, clumsy is a word that I would
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: describe myself when I trip while crossing the street as
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: I stare at my phone. It's certainly not a word
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: I would use to describe a heavy handedness approach by
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: the Chinese to block an Australian journalist doing her job
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: at a media event in a democratic nation where we respect.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: The freedom of the press.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Where was the strong condemnation that we were not tolerate
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: this behavior.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: On home soil? But the weasel words didn't end there.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: We have different values in different political systems, and we
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: saw some of that yesterday. I've got to say with
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: the attempt that was pretty ham fisted to block Chang Lay,
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: the Australian journalists who were able to get brought home
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: at the press conference, and there was a clumsy attempt
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: really to just stand in between where the cameras were
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: and Chang Lay and the Australian officials did the right
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: thing and intervened.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Again with the clumsy Compare this to the opposition.
• 4:41
  Speaker 7: The Prime Minister clearly misled the Australian people yesterday when
• 4:44
  Speaker 7: he got up and did a press conference and said
• 4:46
  Speaker 7: that he heard nothing of it, He didn't understand what
• 4:48
  Speaker 7: the question was or didn't know anything about it. It's
• 4:51
  Speaker 7: completely inconceivable and the Prime Minister needs to stand up
• 4:54
  Speaker 7: today to explain the discrepancy, explain why he didn't tell
• 4:58
  Speaker 7: the truth yesterday, and please grow a backbone, stand up
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: for our country.
• 5:03
  Speaker 8: This was an entirely counterproductive and inappropriate act by Chinese officials.
• 5:09
  Speaker 8: It should have been called out by our Prime minister.
• 5:11
  Speaker 8: Chung Lai is an Australian citizen, an Australian journalist. She
• 5:15
  Speaker 8: should have been treated with respect and.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: My sky News colleague Andrew Clanell revealed the opposition.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Actually raised the issue of.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Chung Li being blocked from the cameras by Chinese officials
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: directly with the Chinese premiere on Monday. Now calling out
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: China does not suit Anthony Albanesi politically. He needs to
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: keep seats like chisholm Read and ben Along where people
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: with Chinese heritage comprise a large percentage of the population.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: It's keeping seats over standing up for values labor really
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: is a dream for the CCP. So as the delegation
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: wave goodbye to Australia, I would.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Say this, if you're going.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: To behave like bullies in this country, go home, don't
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: you hear?
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: Jody Now is One Nation leader.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Pauline Hanson, good to see you as always, thanks for
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: joining us. How would you describe the visit by the
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Chinese Premier and his delegation.
• 6:16
  Speaker 9: I think it's disgusting what they did to Chang Lie
• 6:19
  Speaker 9: in that press conference that was held there. And I'm
• 6:22
  Speaker 9: more disgusted with our prime minister. He just I cringe
• 6:26
  Speaker 9: when I see him.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: He's no leader.
• 6:28
  Speaker 9: He absolutely disgusted me with his answers to these questions.
• 6:33
  Speaker 9: As you said last night. He's got all these advisors.
• 6:36
  Speaker 9: He should have known and he would have known what
• 6:38
  Speaker 9: happened during that conference. He hasn't got the backbone, as
• 6:42
  Speaker 9: Peter Dutton said, he hasn't got a backbone. He hasn't
• 6:44
  Speaker 9: stood up to them. He's had more than twenty four
• 6:46
  Speaker 9: hours to make a comment to the President himself, and
• 6:49
  Speaker 9: I'd like to hear it personally from him what was
• 6:52
  Speaker 9: said to the president. Not officials have taken up the
• 6:55
  Speaker 9: president that's out here from China. You know, China is
• 6:59
  Speaker 9: no friend of ours. We trade with them, but we
• 7:03
  Speaker 9: actually go and do we trade with.
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: Coles and Coles and Wolvers.
• 7:07
  Speaker 9: They're not our friends. China will never be our friends.
• 7:11
  Speaker 9: And I'm sick of this Labor Party, this labor government
• 7:14
  Speaker 9: katowing to the Chinese every time he opens his mouth.
• 7:19
  Speaker 9: You know, these aren't friends of ours. Of how they
• 7:21
  Speaker 9: dealt with our divers with a helicopter, with the closing
• 7:25
  Speaker 9: of the sea that you can't go on their waters.
• 7:27
  Speaker 9: We have just kurtaw to them so much. And it
• 7:30
  Speaker 9: sickens me to see this prime minister here is so weak,
• 7:35
  Speaker 9: lily livered prime minister that doesn't answer the people and
• 7:39
  Speaker 9: he could tells them all the time. It sickens me.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: And the thing is, you know, it's good that relations
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: are at a level where they haven't been in years,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: but as you said, there have been so many issues,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: particularly over the last twelve months, and we've got a
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: situation where it just feels like China has labor over
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: a barrel. And you've got the Prime Minister saying that
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: the incident with Chung Lei was clumsy.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: That was all he could come up with. That's exactly right.
• 8:06
  Speaker 9: Look at the Mountain Roads, what Daniel Andrews wanted to
• 8:09
  Speaker 9: do with it with them, it was a college and
• 8:11
  Speaker 9: it stepped in there. We passed it in parliament. They
• 8:14
  Speaker 9: couldn't just you know, take over and do these deals
• 8:17
  Speaker 9: with China. As I said, China is in a situation
• 8:20
  Speaker 9: they're the most you know, growing, most powerful country within
• 8:24
  Speaker 9: the world, and we are, you know, just at their doorstep.
• 8:28
  Speaker 9: I don't trust the Chinese not one bit. Look what
• 8:31
  Speaker 9: they're doing to the Pacific Islands. They are no friends
• 8:35
  Speaker 9: of ours. And when I see our Prime minister who
• 8:38
  Speaker 9: doesn't stand up and stand up for Chang Lee and
• 8:40
  Speaker 9: what she's been through over there, it discussed me he is.
• 8:44
  Speaker 9: He discussed me as Prime Minister. I'm embarrassed. I really
• 8:48
  Speaker 9: am embarrassed with these leadership abilities, and he blames everyone
• 8:51
  Speaker 9: else but himself. You know, stand up, Anthony, Okay, stand up,
• 8:57
  Speaker 9: elbow right, speak up to these strained people. You talk
• 9:00
  Speaker 9: to the present, not your officials. You stand up for
• 9:03
  Speaker 9: the Australian people.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, stand up for our values.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Now, Pauline Hanson, let's turn to Robert Irwin's threat to
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: sue one nation over this particular cartoon.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: I'm Robert Eward.
• 9:15
  Speaker 10: The Queensland Government's given us a discussing amount of.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: Money to show you the state of Queensland.
• 9:20
  Speaker 10: We got some of the best bleachers in the world
• 9:22
  Speaker 10: right here in the state of Queensland.
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: In the right blue boy, your dog, what are you.
• 9:27
  Speaker 10: Doing on my land?
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: Stating title we've got.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Exclusive use no white fellas. This must be the line
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: for Warner Brothers movie.
• 9:34
  Speaker 9: Will No.
• 9:35
  Speaker 10: This is a rental inspection for a one veteran rock Hampton.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: More mistake Bulley.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: Every time I've seen it, you know, I've laughed every
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: single time.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: And I've got to say all this publicity has done
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: wonders for the video at last, look on YouTube it
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: had more than two hundred and seventy thousand views. But look,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: you've refused to take it down.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: Have you heard any more from the Irwin camp.
• 9:58
  Speaker 9: No, I haven't actually nothing at all. And as an
• 10:01
  Speaker 9: independent defamation lawyers said, you know, there's no case here,
• 10:06
  Speaker 9: there's not defometory. I didn't go out there to actually
• 10:09
  Speaker 9: have a go at Robert Irwin. I'm having to go
• 10:11
  Speaker 9: at the labor government in Queensland, the state of this
• 10:14
  Speaker 9: this state is just horrendous youth crime, you know, Aboriginal
• 10:19
  Speaker 9: ownership over our beaches, you know, now just being ownership
• 10:23
  Speaker 9: over some land native titled there has been granted to them,
• 10:25
  Speaker 9: you know, de escalating crime. Hospitals are in hell of
• 10:29
  Speaker 9: a mess, the roads are in a mess. And I'm
• 10:31
  Speaker 9: targeting the Queensland state government. It's got nothing to deal with,
• 10:34
  Speaker 9: Robert Irwin. And you know, I wish you'd just lightened up,
• 10:36
  Speaker 9: forget about the whole damn lot and just work with me,
• 10:39
  Speaker 9: because we're proudest Queenslanders. Let's do what's right for the people.
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: And for the state.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Absolutely. But I've got to ask, though, I and do
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: you think that satire is dead?
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: It just appears that everyone is offended by the most
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: minute things these days, including this video.
• 10:55
  Speaker 9: Not if I've got himything to deal with it, Demika.
• 10:57
  Speaker 9: That's why we put out eighty five episodes of it
• 11:00
  Speaker 9: and people loving it and you know what on Twitter,
• 11:03
  Speaker 9: it's reached five million views and it's gone international. So
• 11:06
  Speaker 9: the fact is, no, satire is not dead. Let's stand
• 11:09
  Speaker 9: our ground and that's what I'm doing. And to hell
• 11:12
  Speaker 9: with everyone else, because I'll keep putting my point across.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: Yes, spot on as always. Now, look, you raise this before.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: But there's been a huge, massive title ruling for the
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Sunshine Coast. It covers more than three hundred and fifty
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: thousand hectares within eight local government areas. Now an indigenous
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: group has been recognized as the native title holders. You've
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: been warning about this for some time. Do you think
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: this now opens the floodgates for further claims?
• 11:39
  Speaker 9: Of course it does, and I know there are further
• 11:41
  Speaker 9: the claims on the rise in Queensland and Australia.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: White You've got over fifty.
• 11:46
  Speaker 9: One percent of Australia it's under native title now the
• 11:48
  Speaker 9: twelve percent under determination, which I believe it will go
• 11:51
  Speaker 9: to them, and it's been, and you know the whole
• 11:53
  Speaker 9: stupid part about it. The land is not given back
• 11:55
  Speaker 9: to the Aboriginals. It's tied up in land councils, so
• 11:58
  Speaker 9: they control the land. I've had and Aboriginal come to
• 12:00
  Speaker 9: me after I got elected in twenty sixteen, said Pauline.
• 12:03
  Speaker 9: We're not giving the land, they're not giving him the
• 12:05
  Speaker 9: rights to go on it. So the land councils are
• 12:08
  Speaker 9: controlling them. So why are we paying out thirty five
• 12:10
  Speaker 9: to forty billion a year in funding to them for
• 12:16
  Speaker 9: a small percentage of the population eighteen hundred and twelve
• 12:19
  Speaker 9: eight hundred and twelve thousand people, and yet it's costing
• 12:22
  Speaker 9: US billions of dollars. Yet all this land's been given
• 12:24
  Speaker 9: to them. It is absolutely ridiculous to meka and I
• 12:28
  Speaker 9: put up a private menus bill last year to put
• 12:30
  Speaker 9: to sunset clause native title claims.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: Guess what.
• 12:34
  Speaker 9: The whole lot of them liberal labor nationals grins independence
• 12:38
  Speaker 9: They all voted against it.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Why a really good question, and unfortunately it's unsurprising, isn't it.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: Pauline Hanson, good.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: To speak with you, Thanks so much for joining us
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: this evening. Let's bring in my Tuesday panel now. Joining
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: us is National Senator Matt Canavan and former police minister
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: in New South Wales David Elliott. Hi, you both, thank
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: you so much for joining us. Look, I want to
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: start with Labour's plans for this offshore wind farm in
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: the Illawarra region in New South Wales, which is set
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: to be a giant I saw and the locals are
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: clearly furious about it.
• 13:11
  Speaker 11: Oh you're going, Oh you're going.
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: They did not give us enough detail and enough information
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: that we had very few opportunities to really ask questions.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: This hits our hearts so deeply. We are just broken
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: by these news. I'm a bull girls bread ya you know.
• 13:35
  Speaker 12: It's just all these un answered questions and we are
• 13:37
  Speaker 12: furious and they.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: Have declared worn on the Laura and we are going
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: to be a war with them because we're not going to.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: Stop until you know, we're one.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Matt, the coalition has vowed to scrap this if
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: it wins the election. There has been this community concern
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: as we've just seen. But do you think that it
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: will have a genuine impact at the ballot box?
• 13:58
  Speaker 13: Look, it's hard to say, obviously, always dank Sorry, Look,
• 14:03
  Speaker 13: I just think we've got to do the right thing
• 14:04
  Speaker 13: by the country, and it's not right that community has
• 14:09
  Speaker 13: its heart effectively ripped out of it by marking off
• 14:14
  Speaker 13: these massive areas of land from community use. I mean,
• 14:17
  Speaker 13: these communities are ocean communities. They're ocean going communities. People
• 14:20
  Speaker 13: own in boats. They like to go out and fish.
• 14:22
  Speaker 13: It's part of their culture. That's part of why people
• 14:24
  Speaker 13: live in these towns. And I think some people don't
• 14:27
  Speaker 13: appreciate that when these zones are declared, when turbines goes
• 14:30
  Speaker 13: up and go up in these zones, no boat can
• 14:34
  Speaker 13: go in there.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: They're marked off for all use.
• 14:38
  Speaker 13: The only use that gets is the investors off and
• 14:40
  Speaker 13: overseas investors who are doing it to.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Make a whole lot of money off us.
• 14:43
  Speaker 13: But for the community, they just can't now no longer
• 14:46
  Speaker 13: go out and fish, go and enjoy the wonderful ocean
• 14:49
  Speaker 13: that we are lucky enough to live alongside. And so
• 14:52
  Speaker 13: it's devastating for those communities. So look, I don't know
• 14:54
  Speaker 13: what will end up happening at the election, but that's
• 14:57
  Speaker 13: not how.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: We should make a decision on something like this.
• 15:00
  Speaker 13: Should make a decision based on what is best in
• 15:02
  Speaker 13: the best interests of Australians and these local communities who
• 15:05
  Speaker 13: want to keep using the oceans near them.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, which is fair enough. And David, you know that
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: area very well. Here in New South Wales. You can
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: understand the frustration. People just want to see their power
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: bells come down all this who ha that goes on
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: with it?
• 15:17
  Speaker 12: Well they do and in no have come down when
• 15:21
  Speaker 12: people put solar panels on. So for this part of
• 15:24
  Speaker 12: Labor can't take this area for granted. This part of
• 15:26
  Speaker 12: the state has regularly rebelled against the Labor Party. There's
• 15:29
  Speaker 12: been Liberal MPs down there for a decade in the
• 15:32
  Speaker 12: state parliament. Labor did not embrace the Lord mayoral candidate
• 15:37
  Speaker 12: in Wollongong at the last election, and in fact they
• 15:40
  Speaker 12: rejected him out right. And so I think you'll probably
• 15:42
  Speaker 12: find that with a changing demographic, this is very good
• 15:46
  Speaker 12: fertile ground for the coalition.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you think they could make inroads.
• 15:49
  Speaker 12: Easily, easily on this because it's quite clear that that
• 15:53
  Speaker 12: they have not sold the policy. It is quite clear
• 15:55
  Speaker 12: that it's unpopular, it's quite clear that it's not going
• 15:58
  Speaker 12: to deliver them the public public. We'll see the results
• 16:02
  Speaker 12: that they want.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, Now, look this is interesting because at least
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: twenty four c IFA brigades are on strike. They're refusing
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: to fight wind, solar and transmission line fires over what
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: they call the Victorian government's reckless renewables expansion.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: Take a look.
• 16:17
  Speaker 14: This action is being taken because federal government, the state government, IEMO,
• 16:23
  Speaker 14: and anyone involved with this transition to renewable energy have
• 16:26
  Speaker 14: completely forgotten us. In the process. They're going to put
• 16:30
  Speaker 14: large number of facilities, battery projects, substations, transmission lines, and
• 16:35
  Speaker 14: wind and solar operations in our countryside without our consent
• 16:41
  Speaker 14: and without thinking about the absolute risk of fired danger
• 16:45
  Speaker 14: in our communities. They're not listening. They don't care if
• 16:49
  Speaker 14: I think.
• 16:49
  Speaker 15: The transmission lines and renewable energy projects are opposing a
• 16:52
  Speaker 15: massive fire risk.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: We can said I've clearly had enough of labor carving
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: up their land in the name of renewables.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: But what does this strike tell you.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Well, look, it's not surprising to me.
• 17:06
  Speaker 13: I'm obviously not a Victorian, but likewise, I've had real
• 17:11
  Speaker 13: fire brigade chiefs here quit their jobs because they can't
• 17:15
  Speaker 13: get clear answers about how to fight fires that emerge
• 17:18
  Speaker 13: from wind factories or massive battery parks. That are going
• 17:23
  Speaker 13: in all around the place here in central Queensland, so
• 17:26
  Speaker 13: the same concerns are obviously there in Victoria. What all
• 17:30
  Speaker 13: of this shows is that this so called renewables revolution
• 17:37
  Speaker 13: is a top down imposition from our so called betters.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: On the rest of us.
• 17:42
  Speaker 13: There is a grass roots revolt against the reckless amount
• 17:47
  Speaker 13: of renewable energy that's been put into the bush and
• 17:50
  Speaker 13: it's about time governments listen to those on the ground,
• 17:54
  Speaker 13: because we are meant to have governments that represent us.
• 17:56
  Speaker 13: We meant to have governments to a parliamentary democracy that
• 17:59
  Speaker 13: reflects views of the people. But these people have not
• 18:02
  Speaker 13: been asked whether they want massive amounts of their landscape
• 18:05
  Speaker 13: devoted to energy production to effectively industrialize their rural areas,
• 18:10
  Speaker 13: and until recently their voices haven't been heard. But thanks
• 18:13
  Speaker 13: to lots of the media now we're starting to see
• 18:15
  Speaker 13: that and we might get a change of approach soon.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: David, what message do you think these brigades are indeed
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: sending to the government.
• 18:22
  Speaker 12: Well, they are volunteers, so they can't unless they're on
• 18:25
  Speaker 12: a fire line and under the direct command of their controller.
• 18:28
  Speaker 12: They have a right to complain and to make a
• 18:32
  Speaker 12: point and what we're seeing, and I was Emergency Services
• 18:35
  Speaker 12: Minister over a five year period. These people know exactly
• 18:39
  Speaker 12: what causes fires, and if they don't know exactly what
• 18:41
  Speaker 12: causes fires, they want to know that information. And They've
• 18:44
  Speaker 12: seen it with Lithian battery. I've seen it with the
• 18:46
  Speaker 12: whole range of both retardants that make them unwell as
• 18:52
  Speaker 12: well as as well as things that ignite fires. So
• 18:55
  Speaker 12: I'm very, very sympathetic for those causes. And it is
• 18:58
  Speaker 12: a failing of government and our public policy makers that
• 19:00
  Speaker 12: haven't brought them on the journey and have created this
• 19:03
  Speaker 12: sort of anxiety. And these aren't the sort of people
• 19:05
  Speaker 12: that our society should be allowing to be anxious.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: No, and absolutely, especially with summer coming up later this year,
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: these are the people you need on your side.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Look, we are of course in the middle of a
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: cost of living crisis. Yet the head of the Department
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: of Prime Minister and Cabinet, Glynn Davis, will become the
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: first federal public servant to earn more than one million
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: a year after a pay rise for parliamentarians and departmental
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: secretaries was announced on Monday. Now he will earn more
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: than one million dollars as I just said.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: Matt, Look we're in the middle of a cost.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Of living crisis, but this pay rise also includes the
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Nationals leader David little proud.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: Is it a good look right now?
• 19:44
  Speaker 13: Well, look, I think our public servants deserve to get
• 19:47
  Speaker 13: pay rise, it's just like the rest of the community.
• 19:50
  Speaker 13: And I think this might be a bit of a
• 19:52
  Speaker 13: distraction to the bigger issue. Obviously, it's inevitable that eventually
• 19:56
  Speaker 13: top public servants will hit the million dollar barrier. They're
• 19:58
  Speaker 13: not far away from it. Where a tap, it's going
• 20:01
  Speaker 13: to get there sooner rather than later. Now, the bigger
• 20:04
  Speaker 13: issue is that the come off government under Labor Party
• 20:07
  Speaker 13: have employed Labor Party have employed thirty thousand more public servants.
• 20:11
  Speaker 13: They are spending now more than seven billion dollars extra
• 20:14
  Speaker 13: on public servants compared to just two years ago when
• 20:17
  Speaker 13: they came to government. They put that in context. The
• 20:20
  Speaker 13: three hundred dollars saving your so called getting or the
• 20:23
  Speaker 13: bribe you're getting paid by the government in the budget
• 20:25
  Speaker 13: for your electricity rebates is costing three and a half
• 20:27
  Speaker 13: billion dollars, So we could effectively give every Australia six
• 20:30
  Speaker 13: hundred dollars for the extra costs every year for the
• 20:33
  Speaker 13: extra costs that the Labor Party is imposing by employing
• 20:36
  Speaker 13: thirty thousand extra public servants, and what are these people doing?
• 20:38
  Speaker 13: So I think that should be the focus. I mean,
• 20:41
  Speaker 13: there'll be a lot of attention obviously on one person
• 20:43
  Speaker 13: how much they're getting paid, but it's the total amount
• 20:45
  Speaker 13: of top heavy bureaucracy we have now in this country.
• 20:48
  Speaker 13: It's more of my concern. I'd happily pay these guys
• 20:50
  Speaker 13: more if we could. If they could do the job
• 20:52
  Speaker 13: of two or three people and make a leaner and
• 20:54
  Speaker 13: more efficient public service, that would be worth it.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: That would definitely be worth it. I think that's a
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: fair point. Now, just before we let you both go, David,
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: I want to ask you. The former New South Wales
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: Treasurer Matt Keen announced earlier today that he's.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: Retiring from politics.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: A lot of people used to say he was a
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: liberal but masquerading as perhaps a Teal or a Greenie.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: You were former colleagues, what's your thoughts on that.
• 21:15
  Speaker 12: Listen, in Australians love bashing our politicians, and.
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: So we should.
• 21:20
  Speaker 12: This is a day for really to celebrate Matt's service.
• 21:22
  Speaker 12: I mean, he stepped up at a time when the
• 21:25
  Speaker 12: Liberal Party was coming into government. He made a positive contribution.
• 21:28
  Speaker 12: I've sent him a text to say welcome back to
• 21:30
  Speaker 12: the human race.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: I think it's simple.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: We didn't always get along, didit.
• 21:34
  Speaker 12: We didn't know I was going to but never got personal.
• 21:36
  Speaker 12: And it's like some of my friends on the other
• 21:37
  Speaker 12: side of parliament. I mean, he has made a contribution.
• 21:40
  Speaker 12: I didn't agree. We had a different interpretation of what
• 21:42
  Speaker 12: liberalism was, but that is probably what makes That's why
• 21:47
  Speaker 12: we were one of the longest serving governments in the state,
• 21:49
  Speaker 12: liberal governments in the state's history, because we had the
• 21:51
  Speaker 12: ability to debate on other sides, from other sides of
• 21:56
  Speaker 12: the isle. But this is obvioushly more the best. I
• 21:59
  Speaker 12: think he'll make a contribution post politics to the private sector,
• 22:02
  Speaker 12: but to don't you know, I wouldn't be putting his
• 22:05
  Speaker 12: head of cards away this yet.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: All right, we'll find out soon.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: David Elliot, Matt Canavan, good to have you both on.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: Thank you so much for joining me. Well.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: As I said before, Labor is forging ahead with its
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: desperate attempt to reach climate targets on renewables only, despite
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: multiple warnings our energy transition is happening back to front. Now,
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: I'll mate Chris Bowen has set his sights on this
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: ten billion dollar wind farm in the Illawarra region of
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: New South Wales.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: Much too the dismay as locals.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: But look at the size of these beasts, two hundred
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: and sixty eight meters high, so as you can see there,
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: it's taller than the Harbor Bridge, taller than the pyramids
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: of Gezer, and when you compare it to the Eiffel
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Tower at three hundred and thirty meters, only about sixty
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: two meters separate the two. And Bowen wants a whole
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: wind farm of these monstrosities. So wonder locals are up
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: in arms now. As we mentioned earlier, the coalition has
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: vowed to scrap the project if elected and is taking
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: a different tack. I asked Nationals leader David little Proud
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: about their plants.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: David Little Proud, thank you for joining us.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: You have said that a coalition government will look at
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: alternative energy sources so that it doesn't have to pursue
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: large scale renewables.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: What would you do.
• 23:18
  Speaker 16: Well, we'd like to see the priority shift from large
• 23:20
  Speaker 16: car renewables, which is what the government's policy is of
• 23:23
  Speaker 16: an all renewables approach to one that spreads the ricks,
• 23:26
  Speaker 16: that doesn't put all our n eggs in one basket,
• 23:29
  Speaker 16: that looks to alleviate the pressure that regional Australia is
• 23:32
  Speaker 16: feeling by this reckless race to an all renewables approach.
• 23:36
  Speaker 16: And so that's about using some common sense and slowly
• 23:39
  Speaker 16: transitioning some of our coal fired power assets across to
• 23:42
  Speaker 16: nuclear power plants with gas and carbon capture storage in
• 23:46
  Speaker 16: the right place. But putting renewables on an environment it
• 23:48
  Speaker 16: can't destroy. We're tearing up prime agricultural and tearing up
• 23:53
  Speaker 16: your food security and driving up food prices because we're
• 23:56
  Speaker 16: losing our land in regional areas, not just with the
• 23:59
  Speaker 16: Treerans mission lines, but with the turbines and the panels.
• 24:03
  Speaker 16: So let's think differently and can we piggyback off what
• 24:08
  Speaker 16: some of the states are doing and providing some support
• 24:10
  Speaker 16: for households and businesses in metropolitan areas and urban areas
• 24:14
  Speaker 16: with batteries rather than actually having to tear up our landscape.
• 24:17
  Speaker 16: That's the common sense solution that I think we should
• 24:19
  Speaker 16: have a discussion about in a mature way to make
• 24:22
  Speaker 16: sure that regional Australia doesn't have to bear all the
• 24:24
  Speaker 16: brunt of all this renewables approach.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: And I've got to say, David, it's been very all
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: quiet from the environmentalists and the Greens who usually go
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: into bat for marine life, considering the damage that an
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: offshore wind farm, for example in the Illawarra would do,
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: including to the landscape, we've heard nothing, nothing at all
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: from the usual suspects here.
• 24:50
  Speaker 16: What well you never do, whether it's offshore, it's onshore.
• 24:53
  Speaker 16: The amount of native vegetation and actual sea vegetation that's
• 24:58
  Speaker 16: been ripped up on this record. They had this new
• 25:01
  Speaker 16: term called nature neutral. Now that's BS and you can't
• 25:05
  Speaker 16: be a BS follower like myself. So you know, the
• 25:10
  Speaker 16: reality is is that we are tearing up the native
• 25:13
  Speaker 16: environment in trying to achieve this. We're all thinking we're
• 25:16
  Speaker 16: doing good about trying to clean the atmosphere, but in
• 25:20
  Speaker 16: doing it, we're destroying the very thing we're trying to protect.
• 25:22
  Speaker 16: So I think it's important we get back to some basics.
• 25:25
  Speaker 16: We don't have an ideology that puts all our energx
• 25:27
  Speaker 16: in one busk. We have the courage of conviction to
• 25:29
  Speaker 16: leave a legacy for our children. In leaving baseload power
• 25:34
  Speaker 16: that'll underpin manufacturing into this country. And that's not just
• 25:38
  Speaker 16: with subsidies because ultimately Australian taxpayers runs out. That's with
• 25:42
  Speaker 16: load power, and that's also about proper industrial relations policy.
• 25:46
  Speaker 16: But that's the legacy that Peter Dutton and David Little
• 25:49
  Speaker 16: Prayer want to leave this country and we need strong
• 25:51
  Speaker 16: leadership to cut through what this government is proposing. But
• 25:55
  Speaker 16: the burden that Regional Australia is bearing in this ideological
• 25:59
  Speaker 16: race rather than understanding some common sense in the practical reality,
• 26:02
  Speaker 16: we not only what's been burnt out of people's wallets
• 26:04
  Speaker 16: in this cost, but also what's being torn up in
• 26:07
  Speaker 16: our livelihoods and our way of life in Regional Australia.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: Well, as you said, it's about having a mature debate.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately it's totally mature on one side here, David Little Proud.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: Now I want to.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Ask you about Chung Li because the Prime Minister has
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: described the incident where she was blocked by Chinese officials
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: as ham fisted and clumsy, and that they have made
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: it clear to the Chinese embassy that there should be
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: no impediments to Australian journalists going about their job.
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: Is that a sufficient response in your view, Well, I.
• 26:41
  Speaker 16: Think we should be asking for an apology. The Premiere
• 26:44
  Speaker 16: should come forward and apologize. When you go to another country,
• 26:48
  Speaker 16: you respect the customs and cultures of that country, and
• 26:51
  Speaker 16: the actions that his officials undertook yesterday are not appropriate
• 26:55
  Speaker 16: under our customs and culture, and so I think it's
• 26:58
  Speaker 16: appropriate for the Premier before we leave to make that
• 27:01
  Speaker 16: very clear that he apologizes for their actions. That it
• 27:04
  Speaker 16: would not be appropriate for any of our officials to
• 27:07
  Speaker 16: act like that in Beijing, and if they did, the
• 27:10
  Speaker 16: Prime Minister would be offering an apology to the Chinese
• 27:13
  Speaker 16: people and to the journalist in question. So I think
• 27:16
  Speaker 16: it's appropriate for our relationships that the Prime Minister asked
• 27:19
  Speaker 16: for that, and I think that would turn the page
• 27:21
  Speaker 16: because it'd be predicated on this word called respect. And
• 27:24
  Speaker 16: that's how you have better dialogue, that's how you get
• 27:26
  Speaker 16: better out comes between two countries is if there's respects
• 27:30
  Speaker 16: and that's not appropriate behavior. It was disgraceful behavior yesterday
• 27:34
  Speaker 16: in our nation's parliament, and so I just think that
• 27:37
  Speaker 16: if you come and disrespect a country's culture and their
• 27:41
  Speaker 16: customs in the way that it was done yesterday, then
• 27:44
  Speaker 16: your own an apology, and I think the journalist in
• 27:47
  Speaker 16: question deserves that apology as well.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Absolutely to happen on home soil, it's just astonishing, David
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: Little Proud, we have to leave it there. Really appreciate
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: you joining us, Thank you.
• 27:58
  Speaker 16: Thanks for having me.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: Coming up, Donald.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: Trump's recent convictions have finally given the Democrats the slur
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: they've always wanted it.
• 28:07
  Speaker 11: Convicted criminal who's only out for himself.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: We'll show you the rest of Joe Biden's latest political
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: ad after the break. Donald Trump's former Press secretary Sean
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: Spicer joins me.
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: Next, welcome back.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: Well, the Democrats are getting increasingly desperate as Joe Biden
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: walks around in circles. His campaign team have blown more
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: than fifty million US so about seventy five million dollars
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: on a new ad campaign painting Donald Trump as an
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: unhinged felon.
• 28:41
  Speaker 11: In the courtroom, we see Donald Trump for who he is.
• 28:45
  Speaker 11: He's been convicted of thirty four felonies, found liable for
• 28:49
  Speaker 11: sexual assault, and he committed financial fraud. Meanwhile, Joe Biden's
• 28:54
  Speaker 11: been working lowering healthcare corps and making big corporations pay
• 28:59
  Speaker 11: their fair show. This election is between a convicted criminal
• 29:03
  Speaker 11: who's only out for himself and a president who's fighting
• 29:07
  Speaker 11: for your family.
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: I'm Joe Biden, and I approved this message form.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: A White House Press Secretary to Donald Trump, Shawn Spicer
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: joined me earlier.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: Sean Spicer, thank you so much for your time. They saved.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: How successful an ad campaign will there's actually babe of
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: Biden's tame. All will play into Donald Trump's hands.
• 29:29
  Speaker 10: I think they obviously they're putting a ton of money
• 29:31
  Speaker 10: behind this. They think it's going to be successful. I
• 29:34
  Speaker 10: just look, the thing that's interesting about this. I've been
• 29:38
  Speaker 10: saying this for weeks. All they've wanted is this moniker,
• 29:41
  Speaker 10: the slogan convicted felon.
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: That's what this has all been about.
• 29:45
  Speaker 10: For the exact reason that you're seeing today, they were
• 29:47
  Speaker 10: waiting for it to make an ad. This has been
• 29:50
  Speaker 10: their plan from the beginning. They wanted to brand him
• 29:52
  Speaker 10: a convicted felon, run ads about it, be able to
• 29:56
  Speaker 10: go to voters and say there's no way you can
• 29:58
  Speaker 10: vote for a convicted felon. They want this to be
• 30:01
  Speaker 10: everything except a campaign run on the issues and the
• 30:06
  Speaker 10: records between the two. Look the American people for the
• 30:09
  Speaker 10: first time in one hundred years will have the ability
• 30:12
  Speaker 10: to vote on two presidents and their records. And the
• 30:16
  Speaker 10: Biden campaign is scared, you know what, to have to
• 30:19
  Speaker 10: deal with that. So they've basically figured out anything but
• 30:23
  Speaker 10: issues and their record.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: Well, it's interesting you mentioned that they scared the fact
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: that they're pouring I believe it's some fifty million US
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: dollas into these ad blates. So what does that tell
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: you about how they're feeling.
• 30:39
  Speaker 10: Well, what it tells me is if they don't have
• 30:41
  Speaker 10: anything else right, So, normally a candidate would go out
• 30:44
  Speaker 10: there and say, here's my record, here's how I think
• 30:47
  Speaker 10: I fare versus my opponent, Here's why I'm better. Frankly,
• 30:51
  Speaker 10: that's what Donald Trump has been doing, right. He talks
• 30:53
  Speaker 10: about a secure border, lower taxes, higher unemployment rates. And
• 30:57
  Speaker 10: what Joe Biden has done is talked about democrat and
• 31:00
  Speaker 10: convicted felons. They're trying to make this about personality not policy,
• 31:05
  Speaker 10: because you know, just to be blunt, and I think
• 31:07
  Speaker 10: this isn't just me saying it. There was We have
• 31:10
  Speaker 10: a political publication over here called Politico, and they quoted
• 31:14
  Speaker 10: a Democratic operative about a week ago saying, if this
• 31:18
  Speaker 10: is about their two records. We lose every day and
• 31:20
  Speaker 10: twice on Sunday. I couldn't agree more. And what this
• 31:24
  Speaker 10: ad shows you is that they don't want to run
• 31:27
  Speaker 10: on their issues. They don't want to run on the
• 31:29
  Speaker 10: record because they don't have much to show. I mean, look,
• 31:32
  Speaker 10: you see where interest rates are, what unemployment is, what
• 31:35
  Speaker 10: people think about crime, etc. Etc. Issue after issue, Joe
• 31:39
  Speaker 10: Biden can't actually articulate a success from his time at
• 31:43
  Speaker 10: the beginning of his presidency to now. So they've got
• 31:46
  Speaker 10: to do everything to offu skate, to talk about everything
• 31:48
  Speaker 10: but that Donald Trump being a convicted felon democracy under
• 31:52
  Speaker 10: attack everything but the issues will be what their focus is.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, And you mentioned the immigration Now Donald Trump
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: has vowed that the largest deportation operation in America's history
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: will be conducted if he is re elected to power.
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: Sean, how big of a.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: Vote driving issue is immigration right now? And how would
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: voters respond if Trump does get that strategy right?
• 32:18
  Speaker 10: Well, for so many Americans, regardless of what state you
• 32:23
  Speaker 10: live in, meaning it doesn't matter if you're a border state.
• 32:25
  Speaker 10: Right now, every state has become a border state for
• 32:28
  Speaker 10: a variety of reasons. Sometimes it's the crime that we're
• 32:30
  Speaker 10: seeing committed by people who are in this country illegally.
• 32:34
  Speaker 10: A lot of times it's the fentanyl that's been flowing
• 32:36
  Speaker 10: in that's affecting almost every community in America. So they
• 32:40
  Speaker 10: all see, no matter where you live in this country,
• 32:43
  Speaker 10: the effects of an open border and what Joe Biden
• 32:45
  Speaker 10: has put in place. So Donald Trump being tough again,
• 32:49
  Speaker 10: it is something that's actually playing very very well. This
• 32:53
  Speaker 10: deportation issue that you bring up that he's talking about
• 32:56
  Speaker 10: is resonating to the tune of about sixty two sixty
• 32:58
  Speaker 10: three percent of all Americans support it.
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: So I think this is going to.
• 33:02
  Speaker 10: Be a very big issue that the President Trump will
• 33:06
  Speaker 10: campaign on it. And again getting back to those issues
• 33:09
  Speaker 10: of the Biden policies, the Biden campaign doesn't have much
• 33:12
  Speaker 10: to go on. They have advocated very clearly for an
• 33:15
  Speaker 10: open border. They were very proud of rolling back Donald
• 33:18
  Speaker 10: Trump's policies on the border. They own this and this
• 33:21
  Speaker 10: is why I think Donald Trump is doubling down on
• 33:24
  Speaker 10: it because he realizes that they don't have anywhere to
• 33:26
  Speaker 10: go on it. They have to own this issue, and
• 33:28
  Speaker 10: so they're going to do everything on the Biden side
• 33:31
  Speaker 10: to turn the tables about anything specifically other than the
• 33:34
  Speaker 10: issue of immigration, because, like I said, they were vocally
• 33:38
  Speaker 10: proud of their initiatives to roll back Trump policies. I
• 33:41
  Speaker 10: don't think that they foresaw some of the consequences the drugs,
• 33:45
  Speaker 10: the crime, the terrorism, etc.
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: Now let's talk about Joe Biden.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: It's been a shocking few days in the space of
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: a way. Case had some really bizarre and puzzling moments.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: It started at the J seven when he appe had
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: shown to wander off into the abase, and then Barack
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: Obama had to help him out again when he wandered
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: off stage at a separate event.
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: And appeared to freeze.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: But the White House has responded claiming that those videos
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: are deep fakes.
• 34:12
  Speaker 15: This is what they said, instead of talking about the
• 34:16
  Speaker 15: president's performance in office. And what I mean by that
• 34:19
  Speaker 15: is this legislative wins, what he's been able to do
• 34:22
  Speaker 15: for the American people across the country. We're seeing these
• 34:25
  Speaker 15: deep fakes, these manipulated videos schulden.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: So they're calling it a deep fake, I mean actually
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: pretending that the president has not lost it.
• 34:36
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I know, it's funny. They need to brand it something,
• 34:39
  Speaker 10: because this isn't the first instance where this has happened,
• 34:42
  Speaker 10: and I think rightly so they should be concerned. There's
• 34:45
  Speaker 10: a movie that people have used as a meme on
• 34:48
  Speaker 10: social media here in America from Weekend at Bernie's where
• 34:50
  Speaker 10: they're propping up this character in the movie. And I
• 34:53
  Speaker 10: think for a lot of folks, this is what they've
• 34:55
  Speaker 10: been on the Democratic side. They've been scared about this
• 34:58
  Speaker 10: moment coming. And this happens the heels of that video
• 35:01
  Speaker 10: from the G seven that went viral as well, where
• 35:03
  Speaker 10: Biden's walking away from the other group of leaders.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: So we're seeing it again.
• 35:09
  Speaker 10: I mean, the bottom line is there's no question that
• 35:12
  Speaker 10: Barack Obama grabs him his arm and walks him off stage.
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: That's a fact.
• 35:17
  Speaker 10: You can claim what you want about the angle that
• 35:19
  Speaker 10: you're looking at the video, but the fact is it
• 35:21
  Speaker 10: was Barack Obama who grabbed him by the arm and
• 35:24
  Speaker 10: escorted it aim off stage. Yeah.
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: I couplelive that calling.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: It deep fakes when it's clear he is indeed and
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: cognitive and decline Sean Spice and great to speak with you.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: Thank you very much for joining us.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: Absolutely good to see you.
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: Coming up after the break.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: Ideological Indoctrination lands in Australian childcare centers, not even Toddler's
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: safe from green left activism, plus the Victorian government's at
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: youth crime hypocrisy exposed.
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: My panel joins me next Welcome back.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: A new curriculum for Australia's childcare centers has been accused
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: of turning toddlers into cultural and environmental activists and ignoring
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: the role of parents. According to an Institute of Public
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: Affairs analysis of the Federal Government's Early Years Learning Framework, diversity,
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: inclusion and equity were mentioned one hundred and forty nine times,
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders and reconciliation were mentioned ninety
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: six times. However, mother, father and parent were not mentioned
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: at all. Johnny me now is our panel. Spinnis contributor
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: pre McSween and host of The Spectator Australia's Fire at
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: Will podcast. Will Kingston, Hi to both of you, Thank
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: you so much for joining us. We know that schools
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: are now being forced to apologize with some schools to
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: the stolen generation and we're talking toddlers, we're talking young
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: young kids here and now there is this woke framework
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: that's been released with what are they teaching kids well.
• 36:55
  Speaker 17: This is the concerning thing. It's so dangerous sending your
• 36:58
  Speaker 17: kids to school. You didn't realize it would be also
• 37:01
  Speaker 17: in early childhood learning centers. But you know, to teach
• 37:05
  Speaker 17: adult themes like gender and sexuality and all these things
• 37:10
  Speaker 17: to little toddlers who barely out of nappies. It is
• 37:13
  Speaker 17: child abuse and it's something that we really need to
• 37:16
  Speaker 17: stand up against because there is no place for it.
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: But these woke practices.
• 37:21
  Speaker 17: Of pushing the indigenous issue down their throats. All these
• 37:25
  Speaker 17: kids just want to play and you know, get dirty
• 37:29
  Speaker 17: and just enjoy childhood while they can.
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: Parents need to really stand up against this.
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they do it. You're right kids.
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: Let kids be kids.
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: That's what they're there for, to have fun and to learn. Well,
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: the framework suggests that childcare services perform a daily acknowledgment
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: to country. Are children being indoctrinated?
• 37:50
  Speaker 18: Of course, they are the hosting chair suits you by
• 37:53
  Speaker 18: the way, Danika, Look.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: Let's play this.
• 37:56
  Speaker 18: Let's play this out from the age of around two
• 37:59
  Speaker 18: or three, through primary school to secondary school and then
• 38:03
  Speaker 18: the icing on the ideological indoctrination cake university. These kids
• 38:10
  Speaker 18: are going to hear an acknowledgment to country every morning.
• 38:13
  Speaker 18: They're going to hear the term dei every day. They're
• 38:15
  Speaker 18: going to get a black armband view of history in
• 38:19
  Speaker 18: their education. I don't think any child, no matter how
• 38:22
  Speaker 18: well adjusted or rational they may be, could come through
• 38:25
  Speaker 18: that and not be brainwashed. The problem is whenever the
• 38:30
  Speaker 18: left gets their hands on the levers of power, they
• 38:33
  Speaker 18: attack the curriculums in this way, and whenever the right
• 38:36
  Speaker 18: has the same opportunity, they have this laissez fair, she'll
• 38:39
  Speaker 18: be right approach. If we don't address this when we
• 38:43
  Speaker 18: next have the opportunity, what you are going to see
• 38:46
  Speaker 18: is that you are going to come through in twenty
• 38:47
  Speaker 18: years time and all of the institutions are going to
• 38:50
  Speaker 18: be even more indoctrinated into this identity politics nonsense than
• 38:54
  Speaker 18: they currently are because education has been so thoroughly colonized
• 38:59
  Speaker 18: by the.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: Left spot on, it's been rammed down. Children's throw at
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: such a young age.
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: It's out of control.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: Now, speaking about of control youth crime, we've got kids
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: running rampant, robbing people, terrorizing suburbs, causing chaos across the country.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: Now today the Victorian premiergist into Alan. She says she's
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: cracking down, introducing new laws that will mean stronger consequences
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: for serious, high risk repeat offenders.
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: But get this. Her government also confirmed.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: Today it will raise the age of criminal responsibility to
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: twelve prou What on earth is the point?
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: What's the point?
• 39:32
  Speaker 17: Alan has learned, she was a disciple of Andrews, and
• 39:35
  Speaker 17: she's learned to play the spin game. What she doesn't
• 39:40
  Speaker 17: recognize is that Melbourne is turning into a Johannesburg or Sweater.
• 39:45
  Speaker 17: I mean, it is terrifying down there. People are under siege.
• 39:49
  Speaker 17: They've got groups of games of youths and sadly, we've
• 39:53
  Speaker 17: imported a lot of this trouble, you know, because people
• 39:56
  Speaker 17: tiptoe around the fact that these may be refugees or
• 40:00
  Speaker 17: kids from damaged backgrounds, but they are out of control.
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: They've formed these gangs.
• 40:05
  Speaker 17: They're using machetes, you know, they're invading people's homes, and
• 40:09
  Speaker 17: she's fudging numbers. This is all an exercise in obfuscation
• 40:14
  Speaker 17: and just trying to pretend that they're doing something. You know,
• 40:17
  Speaker 17: we have to get so damn hard on these kids,
• 40:21
  Speaker 17: get them behind bars. These are serial offenders and you
• 40:25
  Speaker 17: need to look at their family environment. You know, we
• 40:27
  Speaker 17: talk about the stolen generation being a taboo subject. These
• 40:32
  Speaker 17: kids are not being parented and they're allowed to run
• 40:35
  Speaker 17: right and create this incredible mayhem in Victoria's so.
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: Many, so many problems. Will you know, We've got a.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: Situation where Victoria, as pre said, there are so many
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: youth crime gangs. They're going to raise the age of
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: criminal responsibility to twelve.
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: What is that going to achieve?
• 40:53
  Speaker 5: Not much.
• 40:54
  Speaker 18: There is an eternal ruth in politics that whenever a
• 40:57
  Speaker 18: left wing party starts talking crime and justice, they must
• 41:00
  Speaker 18: be diverting your attention from something pretty bad because it's
• 41:05
  Speaker 18: not comfortable territory for them. Prove hit on one of
• 41:08
  Speaker 18: those areas they're trying to divert your attention from, and
• 41:11
  Speaker 18: that is immigration and the lack of cultural integration around
• 41:15
  Speaker 18: some ethnic subgroups which are disproportionately adding to this crime. Again,
• 41:20
  Speaker 18: it's just too easy to call people racist if they
• 41:23
  Speaker 18: bring this up. And I'll tell you what the other
• 41:25
  Speaker 18: one is is that Victoria were responsible for the world's
• 41:28
  Speaker 18: longest lockdowns, which stunted the social education of young people.
• 41:33
  Speaker 18: There is absolutely no way that that hasn't played a
• 41:35
  Speaker 18: big role in the increase in youth crime. But again,
• 41:38
  Speaker 18: we're not seeing responsibility on that score either.
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: That is a really good point. The longest lockdown in
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: the country now. Labor senator Fatima Payman has urged her
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: alban EASi government colleagues to immediately recognize a Palestinian state,
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: rejecting criticism that the Greens are seeking.
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: To score cheap points by backing that bid.
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: She's published an opinion piece for Our Jazira saying that
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: Palestinian statehood was a moral and ethical imperative. It seems
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: that Labor are very divided on this, some very different ways, and.
• 42:09
  Speaker 17: Of course Albanisi is tiptoeing very carefully through it. He
• 42:12
  Speaker 17: wants to keep the Jews happy, and of course he's
• 42:16
  Speaker 17: got the problem with the Muslims. You know what irritates
• 42:19
  Speaker 17: so many people is that we have these young women
• 42:22
  Speaker 17: with megaphones who are using our democratic process to spread
• 42:27
  Speaker 17: their bile and hate and import historic problems to this country.
• 42:33
  Speaker 17: And I'm sick of it. I mean, this young woman
• 42:35
  Speaker 17: was born in Afghanistan. Do you think the Taliban would
• 42:38
  Speaker 17: allow her to be a union organizer as she was
• 42:43
  Speaker 17: a member of a committee, you know, against foreign affairs, etc.
• 42:48
  Speaker 17: I mean, she wouldn't have this megaphone that she can have,
• 42:51
  Speaker 17: and it really annoys me. If she's that concerned, go
• 42:55
  Speaker 17: to Palestine and try and help them. Don't import the
• 42:59
  Speaker 17: problems here because we're all sick of it.
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: Absolutely will What do you think?
• 43:06
  Speaker 18: I was a middling undergrad student, but even I remember
• 43:09
  Speaker 18: from geopolitics that in order to actually have a state,
• 43:12
  Speaker 18: you need to have a population, you need to have
• 43:14
  Speaker 18: defined borders, you need to have a functioning government, and
• 43:17
  Speaker 18: you need to be able to relate to other countries.
• 43:20
  Speaker 18: Palestine as it stands, has one at the moment, maybe
• 43:23
  Speaker 18: two at a pinch. If they were to become a state,
• 43:26
  Speaker 18: they would be a terror state, and their inter relationships
• 43:29
  Speaker 18: with other countries would be raping and pillaging Israel and
• 43:33
  Speaker 18: negotiating with Iran for weapons. This isn't just kind of
• 43:36
  Speaker 18: liberal kind of feel goodery. It's dangerous liberal feel goodery
• 43:40
  Speaker 18: because it is actively promoting a Palestinian state that would
• 43:44
  Speaker 18: be a terror state.
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: Hella, we're almost out of time, but there is now
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: a sea of empty tents. Pro Palestine protesters have quit
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: Sydney UNI after they were finally given their marching orders
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: pro two months later, they finally said please clear out
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: off your.
• 43:57
  Speaker 17: Go but not all of them, not only out still,
• 44:00
  Speaker 17: they're the ones who actually infiltrated are still there because.
• 44:03
  Speaker 5: They want to keep the trouble going.
• 44:05
  Speaker 17: You cannot bargain with these people, and this is where
• 44:08
  Speaker 17: Mark Scott in particular made a big mistake, and now
• 44:12
  Speaker 17: they're not.
• 44:12
  Speaker 5: Accepting his proposal.
• 44:14
  Speaker 17: Don't give them that prosal get the bulldozers in and
• 44:17
  Speaker 17: get them out.
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: Get them out, Will.
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: Why do you think Sydney Union in particular didn't intervene earlier.
• 44:24
  Speaker 18: So they agree with them. That's the real issue with
• 44:27
  Speaker 18: a lot of these university administrators is that they are
• 44:30
  Speaker 18: on the same side as these protesters, but unfortunately or
• 44:33
  Speaker 18: they just have the political nous to keep collecting their
• 44:36
  Speaker 18: dramatically over inflated salaries. But if they had their way,
• 44:40
  Speaker 18: I'm sure they'd be jumping in those tents with the protesters.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they'd be out there and the full gear out
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: in the tents as well. Spot on, Will Kingston, Prue McSwain.
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: Good to have you both on. Thank you so much
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: for joining us.
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: Well, do stay with us.
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: Coming up after the break rates have been left on
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: hold today, we're going to get the later from an economist.
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: Welcome back, while the Reserve Bank has kept interest rates
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: on hold at four point three five percent, but has
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: left the door open for another hike in the coming months.
• 45:15
  Speaker 6: I think I should say, because I haven't said it
• 45:17
  Speaker 6: yet today, we're not ruling anything in or anything out
• 45:20
  Speaker 6: at the moment. I don't think the case for I
• 45:24
  Speaker 6: wouldn't say that the case for a rate rise is increasing.
• 45:27
  Speaker 6: What I would say, and I think we've tried to
• 45:30
  Speaker 6: reflect this in the statement, is that there's been a
• 45:32
  Speaker 6: few things that have made the Board alert to the
• 45:36
  Speaker 6: upside risk.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: Jodding me now is Deputy chief Economist at AMP Dianamus Sina.
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: Good to see you, Diana, Thank you for joining us.
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: So good news for now.
• 45:49
  Speaker 19: Well, it was universally expected that the Reserve Bank would
• 45:53
  Speaker 19: hold rates steady today. Every single economist that is surveyed
• 45:57
  Speaker 19: by Bloomberg had that expectation. And really, if you look
• 46:00
  Speaker 19: at the flow of data that we've had in the
• 46:03
  Speaker 19: past few weeks since the last board meeting, there hasn't
• 46:07
  Speaker 19: really been anything new in it to change the RBA's
• 46:11
  Speaker 19: forecast or their assumptions about the growth outlook or the
• 46:14
  Speaker 19: inflation trajectory. So there was no real need for them
• 46:19
  Speaker 19: to adjust the current setting of monetary policy, which they
• 46:22
  Speaker 19: deem as appropriate for now.
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: So where to from here then, a rate rise or
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: to this year? What's the feel?
• 46:34
  Speaker 19: Well, the statement today from the Governor and also the
• 46:37
  Speaker 19: conference that you just had up did have a bit
• 46:39
  Speaker 19: of a hawkish tilt to it in that the Reserve
• 46:43
  Speaker 19: Bank has become a bit more worried about the inflation
• 46:45
  Speaker 19: outlook because we've had two months worth of surprises on
• 46:49
  Speaker 19: the inflation data. So in the next few months, I
• 46:52
  Speaker 19: think that there is still a risk of a rate rise,
• 46:55
  Speaker 19: particularly in the month of August after we get the
• 46:58
  Speaker 19: full set of that gink quarter inflation data. But we
• 47:02
  Speaker 19: think that inflation is going to slow a bit faster
• 47:04
  Speaker 19: than whether the Reserve Bank is forecasting it too. We
• 47:06
  Speaker 19: also expect the unemployment rate to increase to four and
• 47:09
  Speaker 19: a half percent it's at four percent at the moment,
• 47:11
  Speaker 19: and for that further pressure on the consumer to continue.
• 47:15
  Speaker 19: So we actually see the case for a rate cut
• 47:18
  Speaker 19: later this year to help the economy, and also because
• 47:21
  Speaker 19: the low inflation environment should allow the Reserve Bank to
• 47:25
  Speaker 19: cut interest rates. But the risk is that we won't
• 47:27
  Speaker 19: get those rate cuts until sometime early next year.
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: Just speaking of inflation, the RBA Board warned that recent
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: big spending federal and state budgets may have actually added
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: fuel to the inflationary fire, despite of course, Jim Chalmers
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: insisting that that extra nine point five billion May in
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: the May budget would not make.
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: It harder for the RBA. Are we already seeing the
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: inflationary impact of this.
• 47:54
  Speaker 19: We haven't seen any inflationary impact from any of the
• 47:56
  Speaker 19: federal or the state budget measures, mostly because the law
• 48:00
  Speaker 19: of them don't start until either the first of July
• 48:02
  Speaker 19: or into well into the second half of this year.
• 48:05
  Speaker 19: I think we need to put all of the spending
• 48:07
  Speaker 19: that was announced in the state and federal budgets though
• 48:09
  Speaker 19: into context. So when we looked at the impact from
• 48:13
  Speaker 19: the additional stimulus that was announced, we put it in
• 48:15
  Speaker 19: the context of the increase in a mortgage repayments that
• 48:19
  Speaker 19: households have had, the continuing impact of high inflation, and
• 48:23
  Speaker 19: our expectation that the unemployment rate is going to rise
• 48:25
  Speaker 19: from here. Because the unemployment rate has already increased from
• 48:28
  Speaker 19: its lows. It bottomed at three and a half percent,
• 48:30
  Speaker 19: it's now four percent. We think it will get to
• 48:32
  Speaker 19: four and a half percent. So once you take all
• 48:34
  Speaker 19: those things into account, I think that the actual fiscal
• 48:37
  Speaker 19: spending measures from the budget were actually pretty minimal.
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: All right, Danamas said, We've got to leave it there.
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much for joining us this evening, and
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: that's it from me. Now it's time for James McPherson,
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: who's in for Sharry markson good Night
