  Speaker 1: Jesus the good report tonight, the Prime Minister snaps when
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: it's confronted by a reporter ask him about the government's
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: grubbiest scandal. The Liberals try to go hard on immigration,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: with Paulinehanssen says nowhere near enough. And Donald Trump abuses
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: female reporters, including one pointing out is sitting next to
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: an accused murderer. Plus the craziest racism claim from Barack
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Obama's wife why whites stop women like her from swimming?
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: But first, the ABC boss at the National Press Club today,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: I mean talk about someone both denying but also confirming
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: the great sin of the ABC It's bias. Here first
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: is the denial.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: The ABC takes no editorial stand other than our charter
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: directed commitments to the rule of law, freedom of speech
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: and religion, parliamentary democracy, and non discrimination. And when we
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: talk about journalistic impartiality, we are talking about passivity. Impartiality
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: isn't seeking false balance where every idea, no matter how weak,
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: is presented as equal. Journalistic task and skill is to
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: select the stories that matter and present the facts and
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: relevant perspectives that equip people to make up their own minds.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: As if now I'll be blunt. The ABC, in fact,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: operates like a gain of thieves. Our national broadcaster takes
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: your money, promising not to misspend it by favoring one
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: side of politics, but then does exactly that. And that
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: really is theft money that are or you are forced
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: to hand over by law to the ABC. An ABC
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: that's meant in its charter to be impartial is the
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: hijacked by the left to preach its politics to damn
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: you know, taxpayers like me and maybe you as wrong
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: and bad, to damn Sky News as right wing, without
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: realizing what that says about the ABC. You know that
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: being conservative well to the ABC, that's actually so appalling. Well,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: we all know that the ABC is based. I mean
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: I've given so many examples of it on my show
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: almost every week for a decade. Just last week I
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: showed you the ABC's John Lyons editing out vital information
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: and making Donald Trump seem like a pedophile. Or just yesterday,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: ABC presenters Sarah Ferguson, I showed her interrupting opposition leader
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Susan Lee thirty five times in one interview. That's once
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: every twenty two seconds, aparently angry that Lee was going
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: against the net zero cult.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Got yet that tink of the documents Document City.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: It is about the government ape. I'm not That's why
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: costs have gone up forty percent. That's why Australians are struggling.
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: That's why we have to thank you very much for
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: coming in.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Now. The ABC's buyers is actually important, and not just
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: as a matter of principle, you know, the theft. It's
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: also wrong because the ABC has all these TV stations
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: and radio stations and a website influencing public debates, misusing
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: taxpayer money sometimes to intimidate or even punish and defame
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: conservatives standing in its way. You think, how relentlessly, Just
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: as one example, it's speared the innocent Cardinal George Pell,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: a Catholic Conservative, speared him as a pedophile, helping to hound
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: him to jail for crimes I showed here he could
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: not possibly have committed, and the High Court apparently agreed
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: and freed him. Well you think how only yesterday a
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: presenter speared One Nation leader paul In Hanson as a racist.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Were ay, have you stopped beating your wife? Kind of question?
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: When you got anyone spearing the hate on the streets.
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: And I've seen that not only from neo nasis. I've
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: seen it from some clerics on our streets and I
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: think it's discussing, yet we don't seem to do anything
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: about them.
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: Do you apply those same principles to your own speech
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: when it comes to talking about Asians or Muslims or
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: other communities.
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: Sarah, I think you better rephrase that.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: And how many other conservatives has the ABC attacked and
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: even defined it's had to apologize to me, to Chris
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Kenny to form a liberal MP, Andrew Lamming and on
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: it goes. But back to Hugh Marks the day now
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: you heard him there both The ABC takes no editorial loans.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: It just leaves the decisions up to you. That's kind
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: of true. I mean, there is really an edict going
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: out from the ABC. You must attack Sky News, you
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: must defend that zero. But the truth is the ABC
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: doesn't need an order to be told the ABC line.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: They decided anyway. I mean, it's so obvious that you
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: will know the ABC line on global warming. You know
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: it already. You know what it'll say about Donald Trump,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: you know what it thinks about multiculturals, you know what
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: it thinks of transgender politics, and even the ABC last
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: night had to cop to that last one, transgender politics,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: after listing all the examples of the ABC bias there.
• 5:43
  Speaker 7: As for that third major criticism that the ABC likes,
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: the BBC is failing to report critically on transgender issues,
• 5:52
  Speaker 7: we fear there may indeed be grounds for concern.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: But Marx isn't quite right in saying, oh, the ABC
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: issues no edicts in some very political issues. It certainly
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: does take an editorial line like making it shows announce
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: themselves like this.
• 6:10
  Speaker 8: Good morning, welcome to AM. It's Wednesday, the nineteenth of November.
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: I'm sar Berline, coming to you from Nippolona hobart.
• 6:19
  Speaker 9: Ah.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: The new Tribalism marks himself in his speech today play
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: that same ABC identity politics of the Left.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: I like start offf just by acknowledging the traditional liners
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: of the lands of which we may, and acknowledge their
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: leader's past president emerging obviously any Indigenous people in the
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: room today and watching on television.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, despite all this, the ABC still insists on this
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: obvious falsehood. No, it's not biased, and only nasty conservative
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: journalists would say so. Why would only conservatives say that?
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Even ABC journalists they must know this is a lie.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: There was a survey admittedly tiny, of ABC journalists a
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: decade ago that found that of those who responded well,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: they were five times more likely than the rest of
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Australia to vote green. Well, you take the hosts of
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: every one of the ABC's main current affairs show, you
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: will not find a single conservative. And I think it's deliberate.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: The ABC did used to once have conservatives like me,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: but only really as regular guests, you know, not as
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: hosts on debate shows like Insiders, even if it was
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: usually one of us against the rest of them. But
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Cha Battero's's ABC chairman then made it clear that people
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: like me we're no longer welcome.
• 7:47
  Speaker 10: I certainly hadn't thought that Andrew Bolt would be a
• 7:49
  Speaker 10: great fit for the ABC.
• 7:51
  Speaker 9: There were no job offers out there, Andrew.
• 7:53
  Speaker 10: Sorry Andrew, but there are no job offers.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: But I said today that Marx having the ABC's bias,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: and then seemed to me to confirm it because he
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: admitted the ABC should maybe have more chat shows on
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: TV with guests giving a different perspective, and then say, well,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: because you couldn't expect that from the ABC journalists.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Sometimes I think obviously the ABC where a factual, accuracy, impartiality,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: objective perspectives. These are all the important things, but sometimes
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: maybe we need to you know, we do it well
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: on audio, but maybe we also need to do on
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: television provide program formats that enable you know, different relevant
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: perspectives to meet in a more of a town hall format,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: a town hall style, rather than our journalists having to present,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: you know, balancing different relevant perspectives.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: They said, you know how these things go as I
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: as I said, you know, I used to go on Insiders,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: or when it was invited on Q and A, you know,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: you'd have you'd be there sitting on your own as
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: a conservative, out numbered by the left of course, and
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: you know, with a left wing audience and a left
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: wing an ABC host, and that kind of bored and
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: wore away a lot of conservatives who no longer turned up,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: and in fact also a lot weren't invited anymore. And
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: so Q and A god as boring as hell. Now
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Ada Butcher's used to claim of exactly complain of exactly
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: that kind of thing too. ABC stuff not really wanting
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: conservatives on their show giving opinions, or not wanting to
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: treat them fairly when they did.
• 9:32
  Speaker 11: Do you think the ABC is delivering with regards to
• 9:36
  Speaker 11: objectivity and impartiality.
• 9:38
  Speaker 10: I think there is an unconscious bias, and I think
• 9:41
  Speaker 10: it's I think there's no harm in presenting both sides
• 9:45
  Speaker 10: of an argument. And I don't understand the reluctance of
• 9:49
  Speaker 10: some of our interviewers not to see I've said our
• 9:53
  Speaker 10: some of the ABC's interviewers not to do that.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Now. That was one of the few times said Ada
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Butterer has admitted ABC presenters could be bassed before she
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: was whipped into line. So, Hugh Marx, I reckon you
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: should just confess your ABC is based But I know,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: of course, as soon as you do that, then you
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: have to fix up a hiring conservatives as well, and
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: then all hell would break out among this up and
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: the audience, your love would be hell, and you wouldn't
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: want to turn up to work. So that's not going
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: to happen. So we are back then to the tough reality.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: The ABC cannot be reformed. It steals from conservatives to
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: give to the left, and it will not change. And
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: that leaves only one choice for conservatives. The ABC must
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: be sold or just make its audience pay for the ABC,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: as you viewers must do for Sky. The Prime Minister
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: today was finally confronted about the biggest scandal of his government.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: It wasn't happy at all and talk about evasive. Anthony
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Albanezi was asked about reports into the two point four
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: million dollars that his government gave to form a Liberal
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: staff for Britney Higgins, in part because she'd claimed the
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Morrison government and especially then boss Liberal Defense Minister Linda Reynolds,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: had treated her badly and tried to cover up her
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: rape by another staffer and Laby use higgins claims to
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: destroy the Morrison government. Then, after winning power, it paid
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Higgins that compensation after banning Reynolds from giving evidence that
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: higgins claims of a cover up and bad treatment were
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: utterly false, which two judges have since confirmed Higgins had lied.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: And now Reynolds is suing the government and its lawyers,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: although the government's in a snit because she wanted to
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: include two of the so called mean girls in the government,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Penny Wong and Katie Gallaher, in the claim, but they
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: made her drop it. Well watch now when journalists today
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: tried to ask Albaneze about that and the dodgy, dodgy
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: payment to a liar who'd helped them win government.
• 12:03
  Speaker 12: A rape occurred in that is what a judge found
• 12:07
  Speaker 12: on the balance of probability in a ministerial office in
• 12:11
  Speaker 12: Palmer House.
• 12:13
  Speaker 13: I think that's a pretty big issue.
• 12:14
  Speaker 9: But isn't it separate to the allegations of a cover up?
• 12:17
  Speaker 12: I think that's I think that is a pretty big issue.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: There isn't two and a half million dollars a year.
• 12:22
  Speaker 12: You can fashion the same question the same answer.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Join him is the political panel Cameron Milner, former chief
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: of staff to Labor leader Bill Shorten and now director
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: of g XO Strategies, and Michael Costa, former New South
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Wales Labor Treasurer. Cameron Albiniz's response there, I thought it
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: was extremely shifty. Oh but rape is a serious thing. Well,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: of course it is. But the questions were not about
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: the rape, but about the false claims of a cover
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: up that Labor exploited. What is going on here?
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: Well, what's going on is it's a protection racket for
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: his thugs. In the Senate, Penny one Kadie Gallagher weaponized
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: weaponized allegations of rape in the Australian Parliament they weaponize
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: it to get Albany's political advantage in the twenty twenty
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: two election. This is the disgusting heart of this thing.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: It's a sordid, sordid saga. But there needs to be
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: an inquiry, Andrew. There needs to be the daylight and
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: sunlight shine on this and the mean girls need to
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: fess up. The mean girls need to work out why
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: they would have weaponized a poor girl who's alleged rape occurred.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: They weaponized that for their own political advantage, for Albo's advantage,
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: and that's what's so disgusting, Andrew. And that's why there
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: needs to be inquiry. And if they've got nothing to hide,
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: they should have nothing to fear.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: But Michael costser, I don't think there is going to
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: be an accounting for what happened. They are two point
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: four million dollars handed over. I just think it's red hot,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: But I don't think anyone's going to hold the government
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: to account.
• 13:57
  Speaker 8: Well, look, the whole thing is a case of no
• 13:59
  Speaker 8: when is here, Andrew, As you realize, only the lawyers
• 14:03
  Speaker 8: have won out of this, and this was referred to
• 14:05
  Speaker 8: the National Corruption Comdission, as you know, and they said
• 14:08
  Speaker 8: there was no corruption, But the issue for me is
• 14:10
  Speaker 8: the payment methodology. I think that we've got to shine
• 14:14
  Speaker 8: the light on that. From a point of public administration,
• 14:17
  Speaker 8: I have no idea how they came to the figures
• 14:19
  Speaker 8: they did and if there was a percentage included for
• 14:22
  Speaker 8: an alleged cover up, that needs to be documented and
• 14:27
  Speaker 8: exposed so the public knows what it is. In terms
• 14:29
  Speaker 8: of the politics of this made again, I blame the
• 14:33
  Speaker 8: opposition for this. I mean, you know, the fact of
• 14:35
  Speaker 8: the matter is that are they pursuing this in the parliament.
• 14:37
  Speaker 8: I don't hear them pursuing it. And you're also got
• 14:40
  Speaker 8: to remember nobody's cleaning this. We just have to go
• 14:42
  Speaker 8: back to the the Ute gate where Turnbull tried to
• 14:47
  Speaker 8: smear a range of people in the Parliament and he
• 14:50
  Speaker 8: had to resign, but that was handled through a political process.
• 14:53
  Speaker 8: Where's the opposition on this? Why aren't they running this
• 14:56
  Speaker 8: in the parliament? Why aren't they running it? Why are
• 14:58
  Speaker 8: the journalists having to do it?
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Well, there is that too, And when you say journalists,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: you exclude ABC journalists. They don't want to run with this.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: The Australian is doing most of it. Here in Sky
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: we've been doing it and I think to GB and
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: then almost you draw a line. Mcameron. You wrote a
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: really interesting column for The Nightly saying, look, Susan Lee
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: finished replacer with Josh Fredenberg, the former Treasurer who's not
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: even in Parliament. But that shouldn't stop him being may
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: not have to stop him being drafted. I have to
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: say I thought Susan Lee was a bit better today.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: You know, she's give her credit. She's got the Liberals
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: to junk and at zero target that's so disastrous. And
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: today she and the energy spokesman tried to turn the
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: attack onto labor. Here they are.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: What we need to hear from the government is what
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: is the cost of your net zero by twenty to
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: fifty plan.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: You're in barking on this pursuit.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: You tell us what the costs are because those costs
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: have been hidden.
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: The main question the Prime Minister needs to answer when
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: our electricity price is coming down, Prime Minister. And every
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: time our friends in the media have an opportunity to
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: ask the Prime Minister or his ministers this question, they
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: absolutely musked when our electricity prices coming down?
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Cameron, are you giving Susan Lee extra marks for coming
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: out a bit stronger this week. Well, no, unfortunately, Andrew.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: I mean I think the thing is that she has
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: brought kicking and screaming to the position on net zero.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: I mean the conservatives of the Liberal Party actually brought
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: it to the brought to the situation, not her moderate mates.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: So no, and Labour's been a target rich environment since
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: the election, and she hasn't laid a punch on them,
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: hasn't laid a love on them. So look, one good
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: press conference does not make a good campaign, certainly doesn't
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: make a good leader. And I think the Liberals have
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: got the message now, they just need to get the
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: right messenger. And I think all options need to be
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: on the table. As I said Josh Fredenberg, I think
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: is the best and brightest the Liberals could actually call
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: for right now.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Hmm Michael Kossa.
• 17:10
  Speaker 8: Look, Andrew, I said, when they drop net zero, and
• 17:13
  Speaker 8: of course you know my position. I don't support nets zero,
• 17:16
  Speaker 8: never have That was the easy part. Look, they need
• 17:19
  Speaker 8: to come up with alternatives. I mean, you know, yes,
• 17:22
  Speaker 8: they can say what's the cost of this, but people
• 17:24
  Speaker 8: aren't buying it. You know, built into the system are
• 17:27
  Speaker 8: all of these middle class subsidies for solar panels and batteries.
• 17:32
  Speaker 8: There's inn generational welfare transfer going on here between you know,
• 17:36
  Speaker 8: the wealthy baby boomans and those people that are unfortunately
• 17:40
  Speaker 8: in rent all accommodation to car buy a home because
• 17:42
  Speaker 8: of this government's policies. And they really need to come up.
• 17:45
  Speaker 8: But what's their alternative? I mean, what are they going
• 17:47
  Speaker 8: to cut? Which transmission line, Which subsidy are they going
• 17:51
  Speaker 8: to cut? I mean, this is the hard end politics
• 17:53
  Speaker 8: of this that I don't think they've thought of. And
• 17:55
  Speaker 8: just on the other point, you know, the fact of
• 17:57
  Speaker 8: the matter is in New South Wales and Queensland this
• 18:00
  Speaker 8: we're all supporting the coalition net zero. So you know
• 18:03
  Speaker 8: you've got a dog's breakfast of a policy going on
• 18:05
  Speaker 8: with the Coalition of the moment, and in that environment,
• 18:08
  Speaker 8: I don't think they're going to get a cut through,
• 18:09
  Speaker 8: and they're not going to get a cut through with
• 18:10
  Speaker 8: this leader.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Ah but camera and having made the decision, they've got
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: to argue for it. And I don't really get you know,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: what is the what are the liberals going to do?
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: What are the liberals going to do? Where are the deed? Look,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: the government is absolutely united, It's got a policy, and
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: it's absolutely a dog's breakfast, creating chaos and pain around
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: the land. I mean, how about looking at that. Well,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: that's right, Andrew.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: But the Liberals have finally, I think, got some comparing
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: contrast I mean, you know, dumping that zero gives them
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: something to actually work with. Finally, like this, rather being
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: me too with albow, they've actually got some comparing contrasts.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: And you and I have discussed this, Andrew.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, they've actually got a position now.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: I think they've just got to get the right messenger.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Well, I think that's right, but it's got to be
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: a messenger of conviction. And on net zero, I don't
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: think Josh Frodenberg is that messenger conviction. But you know,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: a lot of water under the bridge, a lot of
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: people have been changing their mind. Maybe he'll change he is.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Michael Costa, Cameron Milner, thank you very much to you both.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Thank you well oury Safety commissioner. She tried to censor
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: the world and this could now backfire badly. I'm talking
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: about Commissioner Julie in Mangrant. We've talked about it before.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: She's been called to appear now before the United States
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Congress appear over the next two weeks to explain why
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: she is issuing worldwide takedown notices to social media giants
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: that are headquartered in America. Now, this is news broken
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: by Sky News as Caroline Marcus Jim Jordan, a close
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: ally of US President Donald Trump, chairman of the US
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: House of Representatives Committee on the Judiciary, he has sent
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: in Mongrant a letter. He's called her a zenot for
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: global takedowns and said out were a threat to the
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: free speech of Americans. Nev Mongrant has indeed tried to
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: bully X into taking down video worldwide of a Christian
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: bishop is Sydney allegedly being stabbed by a sixteen year
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: old boy who please say was motivated by religious extremism,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: and also a video by a Canadian who opposed the
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: appointment of Australian transgender activist Teddy Cook to a World
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Health Organization panel. Joining me is Rohn, Dean, Edit and
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Chief of The Spectator Australia, host of Outsiders every Sunday
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: at nine am and host of his own show on
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Fridays at seven pm. Rowan, thanks great to see you again. Look,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: it seems that here we have American politicians caring more
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: about censorship by an Australian official than our own government does.
• 20:50
  Speaker 9: Yes, well, Andrew, I hate to say I told you so,
• 20:53
  Speaker 9: but I did tell you so, and I told all
• 20:56
  Speaker 9: the Sky's viewers so a year ago, when this legislation
• 20:59
  Speaker 9: was passed bringing in the under sixteen year old ban,
• 21:03
  Speaker 9: which with disgracefully coalition approval and support, that the only
• 21:09
  Speaker 9: people who could save us from this insanity would be
• 21:11
  Speaker 9: the Americans, and that it would be the Trump administration
• 21:14
  Speaker 9: who would ride to our rescue. And I've been saying
• 21:16
  Speaker 9: that repeatedly for the last year because Albanezi and Peter
• 21:21
  Speaker 9: Dutton set us on a collision course with Trump's administration
• 21:26
  Speaker 9: over the issue of free speech. They did it knowingly
• 21:30
  Speaker 9: because we'd already had JD Vance, We'd already had Marco
• 21:33
  Speaker 9: Rubio tick off, particularly Jdvance. He went to Europe and
• 21:37
  Speaker 9: spoke about it. But other members of the Trump administration
• 21:39
  Speaker 9: had done the same thing and made it crystal clear
• 21:43
  Speaker 9: that the Trump administration will not tolerate its allies, or
• 21:47
  Speaker 9: its friends, or its business partners trampling all over Americans
• 21:51
  Speaker 9: free speech. The First Amendment. They made a crystal clear
• 21:54
  Speaker 9: They told the European Union in no uncertain terms. So
• 21:57
  Speaker 9: it was absolutely obvious that we were on a collision
• 22:01
  Speaker 9: course with our under sixteen social media ban. It's come
• 22:06
  Speaker 9: sooner than I thought it would come. I thought it
• 22:07
  Speaker 9: would come once the mayhem begins on December tenth, when
• 22:11
  Speaker 9: this country is going to try and enforce people to
• 22:15
  Speaker 9: not have social media accounts under some bizarre rules that
• 22:18
  Speaker 9: even the Australian government doesn't understand and can't explain, and
• 22:21
  Speaker 9: certainly the e Safety Commissioner hasn't got a clue about.
• 22:24
  Speaker 9: She can't explain it, and cened estimates what's actually going
• 22:27
  Speaker 9: to happen. So we're flying into a bizarre world where
• 22:30
  Speaker 9: we're imposing some draconian sort of censorship laws which will
• 22:35
  Speaker 9: either go one of two ways andrew Either they will
• 22:37
  Speaker 9: be ineffectual and the kids will just work their way
• 22:39
  Speaker 9: around it with VPNs or v whatever they're called. The
• 22:42
  Speaker 9: kids will figure it out, or they'll be so severe
• 22:45
  Speaker 9: and so strict and so draconian that you, me and
• 22:48
  Speaker 9: every other Internet user will be going what on earth
• 22:51
  Speaker 9: is happening here, and they'll be forced to back down.
• 22:53
  Speaker 9: So the reality is the Americans are coming to our
• 22:55
  Speaker 9: rescue because Julie in Mangrant cannot be trusted on free speech.
• 22:59
  Speaker 9: He's made a crystal clue. She stood up at the
• 23:01
  Speaker 9: World Economic Forum and said that rules around free speech
• 23:04
  Speaker 9: would have to change now because of social media. When
• 23:07
  Speaker 9: quizzed about Australia and free speech in Australia, she said, well,
• 23:11
  Speaker 9: Australia doesn't have what America has, the First Amendment, So
• 23:14
  Speaker 9: that's hunky dory.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Let's off we go like it was a bad sorry
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: and King rather yeah, she said it like it was
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: a good thing that we didn't have free speech laws.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, oh, for goodness sake, Rowan's it's the pressing
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: of the nanny state. I mean, what happened to the
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: rugged Australia. You know, she'll be right and all that
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff. I don't get it. But Rowan, here's
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: another thing. I don't get. Why it is that so
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: few reporters call out the governments that zero plans a disaster. All. Oh,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: the liberals have got a dog's breakfast of a policy.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: They don't see that the labor policy is causing a
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: dog's breakfast in the real world. Now. On Monday, I
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: read headlines like this about a new US report by
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: gas and electricity suppliers energy giants back debt zero as
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: coalition reignites climate war. And that's as if you know,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: net zero is the cheapest way to go, just like
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: the Albeneze government claims. But the Energy boss is quoted
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: inside this report Rowan, I'm pretty sure you had to
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: look at it too. In a report by the Australian
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Energy Council gave a very different and alarming picture. For instance,
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: this extraordinary mission one of so many in this report
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: about the move to wind and solar. It's one of
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: the biggest things, one of these chief executives says. One
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: of the biggest things Australia is trying to do is
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: such a short space of time and having no thought through,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: detailed plan on how to achieve it, the cost of
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: doing it and your backup plan when things don't go
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: your way, as they invariably don't, is probably going to
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: halt the transition at some point in time. But the
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: next three to four years, when the populace go hell no,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: can't afford it zero thing is a disaster. But the
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: message still isn't getting out in the media.
• 25:06
  Speaker 9: It's not Andrew and now I'm going to say, you
• 25:08
  Speaker 9: told us so. You've been telling people in your columns
• 25:11
  Speaker 9: and on this show for decades that this thing was
• 25:14
  Speaker 9: a disaster, it was unaffordable. That there's so much about
• 25:18
  Speaker 9: the climate change myth hoax. I call it scam. Donald
• 25:22
  Speaker 9: Trump calls it whatever you want. That does not justify
• 25:26
  Speaker 9: the vast sums of money that must be spent if
• 25:30
  Speaker 9: we are to achieve what the climate zelots say has
• 25:34
  Speaker 9: to be achieved. Right now, at the moment in Bellm
• 25:36
  Speaker 9: and Brazil are all sitting around nearly five hundred Australians
• 25:39
  Speaker 9: on the taxpare dime discussing saving the planet from climate change.
• 25:45
  Speaker 9: This thing is so embedded in our system. You have
• 25:49
  Speaker 9: Anthony Albineasi saying, oh, the independent this and the independent
• 25:52
  Speaker 9: body and that have said, oh, oh no, it's the
• 25:54
  Speaker 9: cheapest thing to do.
• 25:55
  Speaker 14: We know.
• 25:56
  Speaker 9: All we have to do is look at our electricity bill.
• 25:59
  Speaker 9: All we have to do is look at the price
• 26:01
  Speaker 9: of every single product on the supermarket shelves to know
• 26:06
  Speaker 9: that our energy has gone up and up and shows
• 26:08
  Speaker 9: no sign of coming down in price. And we haven't
• 26:11
  Speaker 9: even scratched the surface of what the climate Zelet's say
• 26:15
  Speaker 9: has to be achieved. We're right at the very very
• 26:18
  Speaker 9: beginning of this so called process, which involves in the future,
• 26:22
  Speaker 9: what we eat, how we travel, where we travel, how
• 26:25
  Speaker 9: often we travel, what we spend our money on, whether
• 26:28
  Speaker 9: we can do this, whether we can do that, whether
• 26:30
  Speaker 9: we're can to ehat our home, et cetera, et cetera,
• 26:32
  Speaker 9: our farming, every aspect of transportation, our agriculture. They have
• 26:38
  Speaker 9: already told us and warned us that if we go
• 26:41
  Speaker 9: down this path, we're going to have no meat to eat.
• 26:43
  Speaker 9: We're going to be eating bugs, They've already told us.
• 26:45
  Speaker 9: But traveling more than fifteen minutes from time, they keep
• 26:49
  Speaker 9: telling us, and we refuse to listen. But it is
• 26:52
  Speaker 9: there the truth, and the truth is that it is
• 26:55
  Speaker 9: simply not affordable, even remotely. We're talking truly millions of
• 27:00
  Speaker 9: dollars that the world does not have to meet the fantasy.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Hang on, there, have you noticed rowan that indeed a
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: collective of scientists academics, including from America, put a report
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: net zero. Australia put out a report a couple of
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: years ago saying the transition to net zero will cost
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Australia between seven eight nine up to nine trillion dollars. Well,
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: since people have been making hay like that, as you
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: just have, as I have, as the nationals have, they say, oh,
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: oh no, it's not that much. It's actually three hundred
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: billion dollars pittance, and then the agency's running with this.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Do you know how they get to that figure among
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: other sort of assumptions. You've got to imagine that all
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: our oil and gas, someone is going to invent a
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: green substitute right for all that that doesn't exist, and
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: they're going to invest all the money in doing that
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: in Australia. I mean, really that people fought the ABC
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: falls for it. Rowan, sorry about that rant, but I'm.
• 28:16
  Speaker 9: The world's finally waking up. At least the liberals and
• 28:19
  Speaker 9: the Coalition have woken up.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Rown Deine, thank you so much. After the break, the
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: new apartheid, I'm afraid strikes again. The state forest is
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: shut off and given to traditional owners. You know, our
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: new apartheid. It just keeps marching along. But how is
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: this making Australia better? More united? This time a new
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: South Wales state forest, the Vungabie State Forest, about nine
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty hectares northwest of Lismore. It's been closed
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: off and then handed over to traditional average loners, even
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: though native title had been extinguished. This is a forest
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: that's been enjoyed by cyclists and walkers and drivers and
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: four wheel bike riders and more. Joining me is geologist
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Mark Hendricks who's been campaigning for years for the right
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: to claim Oolaru and mountains that have been banned for
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Aboriginal cultural reasons. Mark Hendrix, thank you so much for
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: your time. Why was this state forest turned over to
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: traditional owners.
• 29:29
  Speaker 15: This is a small state forest, as you say, Andrew,
• 29:32
  Speaker 15: in northern New South Wales. Prior to these recent events,
• 29:36
  Speaker 15: as you showed in the videos, as used by four
• 29:39
  Speaker 15: drive recreational groups, trailbike riders, bushwalkers, families going camping. It
• 29:45
  Speaker 15: was also a working hardwood forest. So just recently is
• 29:50
  Speaker 15: twenty twenty, there were some plans to log a couple
• 29:54
  Speaker 15: of coops in the forest area. These were blocked by
• 29:57
  Speaker 15: the plants. To log those coops were blocked by conserv groups,
• 30:01
  Speaker 15: so the government listened to them, the conservation groups over
• 30:04
  Speaker 15: the local community, over the adjacent property owners. So it's
• 30:08
  Speaker 15: a working forest that was bringing benefit to the whole
• 30:11
  Speaker 15: of the community as a result of native titles settlement,
• 30:16
  Speaker 15: the state government previous liberal state government set up an
• 30:19
  Speaker 15: Indigenous land use agreement which included handing over the state
• 30:23
  Speaker 15: forests to It's a group with a bit of a
• 30:26
  Speaker 15: mouthful of a name, so it's going to read it out.
• 30:28
  Speaker 15: It's the wigebal Weable Gummorable Aboriginal Corporation, Registered Native Title
• 30:34
  Speaker 15: Body Corporate. So this is the group that we'll get
• 30:38
  Speaker 15: ownership of the state forest and will effectively become private
• 30:41
  Speaker 15: property under their ownership.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: And already it's been closed to traffic. But I don't
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: get I mean the native title on that strip was
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: already extinguished by the fact that it was the clearest
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: state forest, etc. You know why it now has to
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: be given to one and not enjoyed by everyone. That
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: doesn't strike me as quite fair or useful and pleasant.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: What is the what are the chances that locals still
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: can use it in some form?
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: Loo.
• 31:13
  Speaker 15: Look, this is going to be passed through an active legislation,
• 31:16
  Speaker 15: So that's that's what's coming up. Probably in the next
• 31:18
  Speaker 15: six months or so. An Act of Parliament will go
• 31:20
  Speaker 15: through to transfer the landownership to the Aboriginal Corporation, who
• 31:24
  Speaker 15: will gain private property over it. It will effectively be
• 31:29
  Speaker 15: you know, if you go in there, you'll be charged
• 31:32
  Speaker 15: with trespass potentially. On the plus side, perhaps I could
• 31:37
  Speaker 15: probably see the opportunities for this corporation to maybe open
• 31:40
  Speaker 15: up a four war drive park or perhaps the trail
• 31:43
  Speaker 15: riding center, or you know, maybe they'll look at relogging
• 31:47
  Speaker 15: some of those forests to bring in some money to
• 31:49
  Speaker 15: pay for the maintenance of the tracks. Or perhaps this.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Is quite a few but was free. Yeah, but absolutely
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: what you must pay for. Mark before you go. You're
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: holding a competition for your group, Save absolutely Summits. You've
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: been on the show so often. I've got to give
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: you the chance to thank you Andrew twenty second plug
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: for the fundraisers, So go.
• 32:18
  Speaker 15: Save our summits. So we are holding our second photo
• 32:21
  Speaker 15: competition on Australia Day, January twenty six, twenty twenty six.
• 32:25
  Speaker 15: All we have to do is head out into the bush,
• 32:28
  Speaker 15: head out to a mountain summit, take a photo of yourself,
• 32:30
  Speaker 15: your family, your friends, make sure you show that great
• 32:34
  Speaker 15: Australian flag and send that entry into the Save Out
• 32:38
  Speaker 15: Summit's Fakebook Facebook page and it will be considered for
• 32:42
  Speaker 15: one of the prizes we've got we've got prizes totaling
• 32:44
  Speaker 15: one thousand dollars. So it's a really good opportunity to
• 32:46
  Speaker 15: go out enjoy Australia Day in the great Australian outdoors
• 32:50
  Speaker 15: and make yourself some money potentially.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: Kendrick, thank you as always, thank you en after the break,
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: the Liberals really want One Nation voters to come back
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: to them first day of course, says you know they've
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: scrapped at zero now a move that Pauline Hanson thinks
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: it is just two week.
• 33:11
  Speaker 11: Just bring it down to one hundred and thirty thousand
• 33:13
  Speaker 11: a year. Then let's review it in a few years time.
• 33:16
  Speaker 11: Make sure that people are getting the services that we
• 33:19
  Speaker 11: require to give them a decent stand of living a
• 33:22
  Speaker 11: way of life.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: Now, two issues, especially killing the federal Liberals cost them
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: a cord of their support, most of which has gone
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: to One Nation instead. One was going along with Labour's
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: and net zero missions target in my opinion that's now
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: being junked. And the other is, of course mass immigration.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: Will the Liberals now say they'll cut mass immigration as well?
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: I mean you just heard Pauline hands and saying, oh
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: well it should be cut one hundred and thirty. The
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Liberals haven't been that bold. In fact, they haven't even
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: released the plan or a target. They just issued principles.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: But Leads suggests that they don't want well, not undred
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: and thirty, they want two hundred and twenty thousand ned
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: overseas immigrants. Now that's still a hell of a lot.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: But yes it's way down compared to what's we've been
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: getting under labor, but still nearly three times higher than
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: the average intake for half a century, which was just
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: over eighty thousand. His is in THEE today with a
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: response from the Prime Minister actually that I don't understand.
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: The migration numbers into Australia are far too high and
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: labor has got this all wrong.
• 34:33
  Speaker 12: Perhaps the policy has been written by kids. If you
• 34:36
  Speaker 12: go into a local school here, primary school, you'll have
• 34:40
  Speaker 12: local kids stand up and they'll say six seven, six seven,
• 34:44
  Speaker 12: it's a big thing.
• 34:45
  Speaker 8: Well six seven, what does it mean?
• 34:47
  Speaker 9: That means nothing?
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Joining me is Leith and Nonslan, who has written extensively
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: on immigration and is co founder of the Excellent Macro
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: Business blog and Business and former Federal Treasury official Leith
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: and nonsenan thank you so much for your time, your
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: thoughts on the Liberals plans such as it is so far. Yeah,
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: thanks Andrew.
• 35:10
  Speaker 13: Look, it's an improvement on labors, but let's be honest,
• 35:13
  Speaker 13: two hundred thousand dead overseas migration is still extremely high.
• 35:17
  Speaker 13: It's just below the two hundred and twenty thousand average
• 35:20
  Speaker 13: net overseas migration that we had in the fifteen years
• 35:22
  Speaker 13: of Big Australia recorded before the pandemic. So the Liberals
• 35:26
  Speaker 13: basically just want to take us back to pre pandemic
• 35:28
  Speaker 13: levels of immigration, which, as I said, is still way
• 35:30
  Speaker 13: too high and it's still a recipe for massive population
• 35:34
  Speaker 13: growth and big Australia. But personally, i'd rather see dead
• 35:36
  Speaker 13: overseas migration cut to around one hundred and fifty thousand
• 35:39
  Speaker 13: or less, and that's pretty much in line with what
• 35:41
  Speaker 13: Peter Dutton was proposing at the last election. And we
• 35:45
  Speaker 13: should also focus that on genuine skills that the country
• 35:48
  Speaker 13: actually needs rather than more uber drivers. And we don't
• 35:52
  Speaker 13: have to look far to see other countries that have
• 35:53
  Speaker 13: done it. So Canada, which is pretty similar country to Australia,
• 35:57
  Speaker 13: they've actually implemented massive immigration reductions and there's no reason
• 36:01
  Speaker 13: why Australia can't emulate Canada and do the same thing.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, trust me, that's they keep saying. Oh, no, no,
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: we do have a very very targeted immigration program for
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: skilled workers. You look closer and most many of those
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: skilled workers aren't working in skilled jobs at all, or
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: they're not the jobs that they were. They said that
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: take if they came here. I mean, I don't know.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: I feel the whole thing is as loose as anything. Yeah,
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: it is.
• 36:27
  Speaker 13: And another problem with it is, and this obviously gets
• 36:29
  Speaker 13: back to the housing thing. Out of the hundreds of
• 36:32
  Speaker 13: thousands of migrants that we bring in every year, very
• 36:34
  Speaker 13: few actually working construction. It's a tiny, tiny proportion. So
• 36:38
  Speaker 13: as a result, we're constantly increased in demand for housing infrastructure,
• 36:42
  Speaker 13: but we're not actually increasing the supply side of that
• 36:44
  Speaker 13: because the migrants that we're bringing in don't work in
• 36:46
  Speaker 13: those areas. So it's just a recipe for perpetual housing
• 36:50
  Speaker 13: shortages and perpetual infrastructure shortages.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I heard someone from the government just the other
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: day say, oh, we need to we need all these
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: immigrant to come and build the houses that we desperately need.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: I don't think they're building them. They're filling them, but
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: not building them. But speaking of that, that does immigration
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: does put more and more pressure on house process later
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: because oh you're picking on the immigrants, you know, trying
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: to serve up a resentment among immigrant communities. No, no,
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: we're just cause to supply and demand. There's a higher demand.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: They all have to live somewhere. The Albanizi government says
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: it has a plan to build one point two million
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: homes in five years, but it's a really way behind
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: schedule and leath today. I'm sure you saw it the
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: Housing Industry Association. So the government have to build not
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: one point two million homes, but nearly two million before
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: someone on an average wage could even afford the price
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: of the average house. This is another disaster, isn't it.
• 37:49
  Speaker 13: Oh absolutely, it's a massive disaster.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: And let's be honest.
• 37:51
  Speaker 13: This disaster was outlined explicitly by the latest report for
• 37:55
  Speaker 13: the National Houses Supply and Affordability Council, which is the
• 37:57
  Speaker 13: federal government's own advisory council on affordability in supply. And
• 38:01
  Speaker 13: this report was released a few months back, and it's
• 38:04
  Speaker 13: showed that Australia's facing a shortage of homes over the
• 38:07
  Speaker 13: five years of twenty twenty nine of seventy nine thousand.
• 38:10
  Speaker 13: Now that's on top of Australia's existing housing shortage of
• 38:13
  Speaker 13: about two hundred thousand. And the thing about these forecasts, Andrews,
• 38:17
  Speaker 13: is that they're actually based on fairly conservative immigration numbers,
• 38:21
  Speaker 13: and the National has in Supplying Affordability Council forecast that
• 38:24
  Speaker 13: if the population grows by fifteen percent faster than is
• 38:28
  Speaker 13: forecast by Treasury, which seems very likely based on the
• 38:31
  Speaker 13: immigration settings that we've got, that our shortage will actually
• 38:34
  Speaker 13: worsen by two hundred thousand over the next five years.
• 38:37
  Speaker 13: So that means we'll have accumulative shortage of about four
• 38:40
  Speaker 13: hundred thousand by twenty twenty nine. So it's a total disaster.
• 38:43
  Speaker 13: It's been brought about by excessive levels of immigration. It
• 38:46
  Speaker 13: also highlights why immigration must be cut to balance to
• 38:49
  Speaker 13: mardw with supply, because if we don't do it, this
• 38:51
  Speaker 13: housing shortage is just going to keep getting worse.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: Yes, but it's feeding into the tendency now of both
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: sides increasing. The Liberals are doing it too a panditty
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: immigrant communities. By saying no no extra immigration does not
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: put pressure on the house. We've just got to boost supply.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's just such a fraud, and I wonder
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: if you know we can ever dig our way out
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: of it at this rate. Leave for nonsenan. Thank you
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: so much, a deed for your time, Thanks Andrew. After
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: the break, Donald Trump, under pressure, lashes out a journalist
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: as he sinks in the polls, calling one woman piggy
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: and then blasting another, pointing out he was sitting next
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: to and accused murderer a very rich one. Donald Trump
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: could maybe get away with this rudeness when you look
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: like a winner. Now his poles of sunk, it looks
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: really a bit desperate. For instance, here how Trump abused
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: the journalist, the woman who'd asked him why I'd been
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: refusing to release secret files. And Jeffrey Epstein, the dead pedophile.
• 40:00
  Speaker 16: Respecting built Clack, respected the head of Harmer, respected people
• 40:06
  Speaker 16: they have plenty, JP Mornan.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: Jews quiet piggy to a female journalist, that's scummy. As
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: I mentioned yesterday, Trump has changed his mind. Order the
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: files released. That's a victory for a long term Trump
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: support of major Taylor Green. Trump last weekend called trader
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: Green for demanding the files release.
• 40:33
  Speaker 17: And he called me a trader for standing with these
• 40:36
  Speaker 17: women and refusing to take my name off the discharge petition.
• 40:40
  Speaker 17: Let me tell you what a trader is. A trader
• 40:43
  Speaker 17: is a is an American that serves foreign countries and themselves.
• 40:50
  Speaker 17: A patriot is an American that serves the United States
• 40:54
  Speaker 17: of America and Americans. Like the women standing behind.
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: Me, seemed to dig at something else Trump has just done.
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: Seven years ago, Saudi journalists and dissident Jamal Kashoki, linked
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: to the Extremesmooslon brotherhood, walked into the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: Never came out again, not in one piece anyway. The
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: US Director of National Intelligence said it strongly believed that
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Muhammad bin Sulman approved an operation
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: to kill the Saudi journalist Kamel Jamal Kashoggi and sent
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: his personal bodyguard to do it. But now the Prince
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: is the de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia and is
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: in Washington right now to a hero's welcome, after buying
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: American F thirty five jets and promising Trump to increase
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: Saudi investments in the US through a trillion dollars and
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: to Trump, money turns the murderer into a saint, so
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: he monstered another female reporter for asking about Koushoki's killing.
• 41:52
  Speaker 18: Your Royal Highness, the US Intelligence concluded that you orchestrated
• 41:56
  Speaker 18: the brutal murder of a journalist.
• 41:57
  Speaker 9: Nine eleven families are furious that you are.
• 42:00
  Speaker 7: You're in the ol.
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: Who you were with?
• 42:06
  Speaker 19: Who fakeness ANBC fakeness one.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: Of the worst, one of the worst of the is.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: But I'll ask you a question.
• 42:13
  Speaker 19: As far as this gentleman is concerned, he's done a
• 42:16
  Speaker 19: phenomenal job. You're mentioning somebody that was extremely controversial. A
• 42:20
  Speaker 19: lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about,
• 42:23
  Speaker 19: whether you like him or didn't like him. Things happened,
• 42:26
  Speaker 19: but he knew nothing about it, and we can leave
• 42:28
  Speaker 19: it at that. You don't have to embarrass our guests
• 42:30
  Speaker 19: by asking a question like that.
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: Well, things happen. That's a murder. Things happen. Joining me
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: a Gematonini columnists and communications consultant skyne Is contributed. Louise
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: Roberts Jimmy America used to at least pretend it defended
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: good governance democracy rule of law around the world. It
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: was from just being honest and saying, well, who cares
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: as long as there's a deal in it for the US?
• 42:56
  Speaker 16: Oh I do.
• 42:56
  Speaker 14: I don't think you were saying who cares? I think
• 42:59
  Speaker 14: let's not be quaint and revisionist here and act as
• 43:02
  Speaker 14: if you know the world of international politics at that
• 43:06
  Speaker 14: level is pure white and unsolid. And there's a part
• 43:08
  Speaker 14: of this.
• 43:09
  Speaker 9: Story that.
• 43:11
  Speaker 14: You know, the phrase that really is at the center
• 43:15
  Speaker 14: of it. And please don't hear what I'm not saying.
• 43:17
  Speaker 14: I'm not saying this is an excuse, but links to
• 43:20
  Speaker 14: the Muslim Brotherhood is a dangerous Those are dangerous links
• 43:24
  Speaker 14: to have, Andrew. And I'm not suggesting for a minute
• 43:29
  Speaker 14: that any ends justify means. But when President Trump says
• 43:34
  Speaker 14: blithely and clumsily that things happen if you play in
• 43:37
  Speaker 14: that space, and I don't for a very good reason.
• 43:41
  Speaker 14: If you play in that space, it comes with significant risk.
• 43:45
  Speaker 14: And to not acknowledge that in the context of what
• 43:48
  Speaker 14: went on is disingenuous. As for his response to that journalist,
• 43:54
  Speaker 14: you know, what else did anyone expect? Again, I'm not
• 43:59
  Speaker 14: justifying it or whatever.
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying, yeah, I hear what you're saying.
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: But Louise, you know it's interesting, isn't it. Maybe Trump
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: is simply being honest where other former presses they ordered
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: the same thing, assassinate Osama bin Lad and all that
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff. Fair enough, but just didn't, you know,
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: say so what sort of as Trump did? Well.
• 44:23
  Speaker 5: I think insulting female journalists is not on, But I
• 44:26
  Speaker 5: do feel that Trump is a equal opportunity right insulter.
• 44:30
  Speaker 5: I think he'll have a crack at a male journalist
• 44:32
  Speaker 5: or a female journalist if he doesn't like their line
• 44:34
  Speaker 5: of questioning all says it's fake news or whatever. But
• 44:37
  Speaker 5: I did wander around the coziness with the Saudis, how
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: his sort of core voter group would feel about this,
• 44:43
  Speaker 5: the rust belt as it were, because look, he could
• 44:46
  Speaker 5: argue that nine to eleven was a generation ago because
• 44:49
  Speaker 5: it was twenty four years ago, but those wounds still
• 44:51
  Speaker 5: run very deep. And when you consider that fifteen out
• 44:54
  Speaker 5: of the nineteen terrorists were Saudi's and the Saudi government
• 44:58
  Speaker 5: was maybe INMPL Caterd never proven. I do think that's
• 45:03
  Speaker 5: an optics issue for the president for his kind of
• 45:06
  Speaker 5: call voters. But what it does prove to Jem's point
• 45:09
  Speaker 5: as well, and to your point is that this is
• 45:11
  Speaker 5: a president who puts American interests first no matter what,
• 45:15
  Speaker 5: so he will find a way to push America forward,
• 45:18
  Speaker 5: even if his critics are saying it's not good to
• 45:20
  Speaker 5: be closing up to the Saudis and certainly not good
• 45:22
  Speaker 5: to be insulting female journalists.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: I think you're right. Let me just underline what you
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: just said that you know we're calling one journalist, the
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: female journalist piggy. I think it's just that is just crass, crude,
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: out of order. I've got to ask you about this, Jem.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: Michelle Obama, wife of another president, a bit of a
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: sulky race warrior, promoting the latest book, blamed white people
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: for Black Americans not going to the gym or learning
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: to swim. He issues.
• 45:52
  Speaker 18: Let me explain something to wait people. Our hair comes
• 45:57
  Speaker 18: out of our head naturally in a curly pawer, so
• 46:00
  Speaker 18: when we're straightening it to follow your beauty standards, we
• 46:04
  Speaker 18: are trapped by the straightness. That's why so many of
• 46:08
  Speaker 18: us can't swim and we run away from the water.
• 46:13
  Speaker 18: People won't go to the gym because we're trying to
• 46:16
  Speaker 18: keep our hair straight.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: For y'all, Jimmy, do you feel sorry for Michelle Obama,
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: the wife of a former president, being forced by whites
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: to straighten her hair and so she's too scared to
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: go streaming.
• 46:31
  Speaker 9: I thought that was satire.
• 46:33
  Speaker 14: I honestly, when I first read this read that story,
• 46:36
  Speaker 14: I thought it was comedy or she was trying to
• 46:38
  Speaker 14: be funny. And I'm still not convinced that she's not
• 46:41
  Speaker 14: trying to be funny, because that's just the most ridiculous
• 46:44
  Speaker 14: parlor clap trap I've ever heard. Like, you know, no
• 46:46
  Speaker 14: one's she's sitting there on that stage with her hair straight.
• 46:49
  Speaker 14: No one's holding a gun to her head and sang a,
• 46:51
  Speaker 14: shall Obama straight in your hair? Do you know what, Andrew?
• 46:54
  Speaker 14: My hair is not naturally straight.
• 46:56
  Speaker 9: I'll give you the tip.
• 46:57
  Speaker 14: And for those playing along at home, it's also naturally
• 47:00
  Speaker 14: I have dark, curly Italian hair, and I choose to
• 47:07
  Speaker 14: engage in the media environment, which necessitates me not looking
• 47:13
  Speaker 14: like a wookie on any given days. So I have
• 47:16
  Speaker 14: my hair. That is not oppression. That's not cultural oppression.
• 47:20
  Speaker 14: I'm not being forced to conform to any cultural norms.
• 47:25
  Speaker 14: I mean, that's just nonsense. I've never I mean, I'm
• 47:28
  Speaker 14: hopeful choice actually trying to be funny.
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: Is this is this is exactly the thing, Louise. You know,
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: here's a wife of a former president. So I mean, yeah,
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: oh look, you're forcing me to stretch you white hair.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: I mean ridiculous, Really, Louise, there's no excuse for that.
• 47:50
  Speaker 5: No, no, not at all. Exactly what Jemma said. And
• 47:52
  Speaker 5: I mean, is she making her a civil rights issue now?
• 47:55
  Speaker 5: I mean she's basically saying that white people are responsible
• 47:59
  Speaker 5: for black people's beauty choices, which is, you know, we
• 48:03
  Speaker 5: can't flip it the other way. I mean that would
• 48:04
  Speaker 5: be a writer as well. But the thing I object
• 48:07
  Speaker 5: to with Michelle here is that she makes every platform,
• 48:10
  Speaker 5: and she's got a big global platform, big influence. She
• 48:13
  Speaker 5: doesn't say anything like that's common sense. She makes it
• 48:16
  Speaker 5: everything goes back to racism. Every slide, every inconvenience has
• 48:20
  Speaker 5: to have a racist undertoned to it. And he talks
• 48:22
  Speaker 5: to the average American, they don't feel this waste. But
• 48:25
  Speaker 5: she's gone off on this tangent and she could be
• 48:28
  Speaker 5: far more useful in this space rather than making it
• 48:31
  Speaker 5: a hair issue.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: Oh how about saying isn't it great America where a
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: black woman can be the wife of a black president. Really, seriously,
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: Jim and Tonini, Luis Roberts, thank you very much to
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: you both. That's it, good night, Sherry Markson next
