- 0:00Speaker 1: Lately.
- 0:01Speaker 2: General, welcome to the Late Debate.
- 0:06Speaker 1: Well thanks for joining us on the Late Debate.
- 0:08Speaker 3: I'm James Macpherson with Freie Leitch and filling in for
- 0:10Speaker 3: Caleb Bond Dnika de Giorgio.
- 0:12Speaker 1: Coming up tonight.
- 0:13Speaker 3: The Mayor of Chicago says jailing violent offenders is racist
- 0:18Speaker 3: and immoral. No wonder Trump's threatening to send in the
- 0:21Speaker 3: National Guard. Plus Snoop Dogg is slammed for daring to
- 0:24Speaker 3: admit he found it hard to explain to his grandkids
- 0:27Speaker 3: how two women can have a baby. And an Australian
- 0:30Speaker 3: couple hit with twenty finable offenses after taking culturally inappropriate
- 0:35Speaker 3: photos of Airs Rock.
- 0:38Speaker 1: But we have to start.
- 0:39Speaker 3: Tonight's show in Liverpool Sydney. I'll tell you why. We've
- 0:44Speaker 3: covered some bizarre council bungles on the Late Debate, but
- 0:47Speaker 3: this one, this one isn't just a cherry on top,
- 0:50Speaker 3: It's the whole misguided cake. Feast your eyes on this.
- 0:54Speaker 3: It's a diamond shaped roundabout. Yes, really plump down at
- 0:59Speaker 3: a major section in southwest Sydney. It cost Liverpool taxpayers
- 1:04Speaker 3: are called ninety three thousand dollars to install, money well spent.
- 1:08Speaker 1: If the goal was traffic chaos.
- 1:10Speaker 3: Drivers were so baffled some started doing three point turns in.
- 1:15Speaker 1: The middle of the roundabout.
- 1:16Speaker 3: Nothing says efficient traffic flow like people reversing into oncoming traffic. Now,
- 1:21Speaker 3: diamonds are meant to be forever, right, Well, this diamond
- 1:24Speaker 3: roundabout gone in seven days, which, let's face it was
- 1:28Speaker 3: six days longer than it should have taken for the
- 1:30Speaker 3: council to realize their error. It was replaced by a
- 1:33Speaker 3: humble give way sign and that fixed only cost another
- 1:37Speaker 3: fifty three grand, which is pocket change if you're not
- 1:40Speaker 3: the one paying rates. A Liverpool Council spokesperson told journalists
- 1:44Speaker 3: have a listen to this. The lessons learned are already
- 1:46Speaker 3: shaping improvements to how council shapes in the liver's future
- 1:50Speaker 3: traffic projects. Translation, we still have no idea what we're doing,
- 1:54Speaker 3: but we're doing it more thoughtfully. Now, Frey, this is
- 1:56Speaker 3: one of the most ridiculous things I have ever seen
- 1:59Speaker 3: in my life.
- 2:00Speaker 4: Oh, it's so ridiculous and it's so embarrassing. This video
- 2:04Speaker 4: of the world's weirdest roundabout when absolutely viral on social
- 2:08Speaker 4: media and no offense to whoever designed this at Liverpool
- 2:12Speaker 4: Council but you have officially made Liverpool the laughing stock
- 2:15Speaker 4: of the world. It's absurd. Who thinks to put in
- 2:18Speaker 4: a diamond roundabout? And the worst part of all of
- 2:21Speaker 4: this is Transport for New South Wales was consulted on
- 2:24Speaker 4: the designs and approved them. So it's not just Liverpool
- 2:29Speaker 4: Council we should be dissing. It's Transport for New South
- 2:32Speaker 4: Wales as well.
- 2:32Speaker 5: It is crazy, It is absolutely crazy. The problem is
- 2:35Speaker 5: it was actually never tested, right, This is the problem.
- 2:38Speaker 5: Normally when you have this sort of infrastructure, they test
- 2:40Speaker 5: it to make sure that it's road worthy, that people
- 2:43Speaker 5: understand it. They never tested it. They just rolled it
- 2:46Speaker 5: out to the public on June twenty And my question
- 2:48Speaker 5: would be how many bureaucrats sat around the council going,
- 2:51Speaker 5: do you know what, let's think of a really smart
- 2:53Speaker 5: idea to eat traffic flow in the middle of Liverpool
- 2:57Speaker 5: a diamond shaped roundabout? Which came up with that? This
- 3:01Speaker 5: is why I hate counsels. They just need to stick
- 3:03Speaker 5: to the real basics instead of designing all these utterly
- 3:06Speaker 5: obscure concepts that nobody knows what to do. Every time
- 3:10Speaker 5: I see that vision, I actually laughed my head off
- 3:12Speaker 5: because you could say, people they almost crash into each other.
- 3:17Speaker 2: Well, no you wouldn't because you.
- 3:18Speaker 5: Don't know whether you need to Where do you egg, like,
- 3:21Speaker 5: where do you exit?
- 3:22Speaker 2: Where do you round?
- 3:23Speaker 3: Imagine the poor kid who's going for his driving test
- 3:26Speaker 3: on that day and he failed.
- 3:28Speaker 5: He's failed already, He's absolutely failed, the poor kid. It's
- 3:30Speaker 5: not your fault, son, it is the fault of the
- 3:32Speaker 5: Liverpool Counsel.
- 3:33Speaker 3: So by the time they painted over it and replaced
- 3:35Speaker 3: the Diamond roundabout with a couple of give way signs,
- 3:39Speaker 3: it ended up costing rate payers almost one hundred and
- 3:41Speaker 3: fifty thousand dollars for some giveway signs. But the part
- 3:44Speaker 3: I love most about this story is that this Diamond
- 3:48Speaker 3: Roundabout fiasco comes amid an investigation at the Liverpool Council
- 3:53Speaker 3: into alleged dysfunction and mismanagement. Well, I think that investigation
- 3:57Speaker 3: can finish now, just show them the roundabout.
- 4:00Speaker 1: The case closed.
- 4:01Speaker 4: Well, they definitely need to add this roundabout to the
- 4:05Speaker 4: terms of the investigation. It's being undertaken by the Office
- 4:08Speaker 4: of Local Government because whoever designed this needs to be
- 4:11Speaker 4: sacked asav It is absolutely shocking. But something else that
- 4:16Speaker 4: could have been a very costly mistake is what happened
- 4:19Speaker 4: to some tourists at Ularu. They were vlogging their trip
- 4:24Speaker 4: for YouTube, taking a lot of photos, posting them all
- 4:27Speaker 4: over social media. Then three months later they got an
- 4:31Speaker 4: email saying they had committed twenty finable offenses by taking
- 4:37Speaker 4: photos and videos of Ularu. Here's what they posted to
- 4:40Speaker 4: social media.
- 4:42Speaker 5: So three months ago, when we're in Ularu, we did
- 4:44Speaker 5: a YouTube video, We put a couple of posts up,
- 4:46Speaker 5: and we weren't aware that there was actually like a
- 4:48Speaker 5: media guideline that you had to abide by.
- 4:51Speaker 6: You you have to apply for a permit to post anything.
- 4:55Speaker 1: About Ulary Fine. We weren't aware about that.
- 4:58Speaker 2: They emailed us, so we spent about permit.
- 5:01Speaker 1: We've got an email back today.
- 5:04Speaker 7: What's apped three months after we went to.
- 5:06Speaker 5: Mt Yeah, three months low at all, and there's like
- 5:09Speaker 5: twenty lines of finable offenses.
- 5:13Speaker 4: So apparently there's actually a twenty eight page media policy
- 5:17Speaker 4: for Ularu. If you want to do any commercial photography,
- 5:21Speaker 4: that's a pass you have to buy. If you want
- 5:23Speaker 4: to do any filming, which they were doing for their
- 5:25Speaker 4: YouTube channel, that's an extra two hundred and fifty dollars
- 5:28Speaker 4: a day to film. But it wasn't just that they
- 5:31Speaker 4: were taking photos and filming. Apparently, even them moving a
- 5:35Speaker 4: branch on the side of the road to swat away
- 5:38Speaker 4: flies was considered culturally insensitive and potentially a finable offense.
- 5:43Speaker 4: There are other things in there, like if you're taking
- 5:46Speaker 4: a photo of the northwest side of Ularu, you have
- 5:49Speaker 4: to use the wide angle lens so you don't zoom
- 5:52Speaker 4: in on any culturally significant sides. I mean, are they
- 5:55Speaker 4: trying to run this as a tourist business or what
- 5:58Speaker 4: is the goal here, because you're not really making this
- 6:01Speaker 4: an attractive destination for people to visit.
- 6:03Speaker 3: When you say cultural sensitivity, what I hear is chi ching,
- 6:06Speaker 3: chi ching, chi ching, Because that's what this is really
- 6:09Speaker 3: all about. Now, if you just go there as a tourist,
- 6:11Speaker 3: and I always I've never been to Ularu is rock.
- 6:15Speaker 1: I would love to.
- 6:16Speaker 3: Never got the chance to climate because they banned it
- 6:18Speaker 3: before I could ever get there, And I just got.
- 6:21Speaker 1: To wonder why you would go there. Now you kept
- 6:23Speaker 1: at a distance.
- 6:24Speaker 3: You're told you you can't take photographs of numerous sites.
- 6:27Speaker 3: That's just as an ordinary person, let alone if you're
- 6:29Speaker 3: a commercial photographer and explaining the decision. A spokesperson for
- 6:35Speaker 3: the local indigenous organization said that areas which were culturally
- 6:41Speaker 3: sensitive were equivalent to sacred scripture, which means that there
- 6:46Speaker 3: are certain areas that for religious reasons you are not
- 6:49Speaker 3: allowed to photograph. We're all the lefties who are always
- 6:52Speaker 3: going about.
- 6:52Speaker 1: Separation of church and state.
- 6:55Speaker 3: Are they were a secular society and yet we've got
- 6:57Speaker 3: indigenous spirituality determining what you can and can't do when
- 7:01Speaker 3: you go to visit a rock in the middle of
- 7:03Speaker 3: the country.
- 7:04Speaker 5: Well, when I first heard this story, immediately I started
- 7:06Speaker 5: thinking of that Aba song, money, money, money, because to.
- 7:09Speaker 2: Me, that's all that this is.
- 7:11Speaker 5: This is no more to me than a money making activity.
- 7:15Speaker 5: Now it's interesting because visitor numbers, tourist numbers to u
- 7:19Speaker 5: Laru have failed to reach levels higher than pre pandemic,
- 7:24Speaker 5: so they're actually struggling to get tourists to Ularu right now,
- 7:28Speaker 5: Why would you want to go to Ularu when you
- 7:29Speaker 5: hear this, When you take one two photos and suddenly, surprise,
- 7:32Speaker 5: you get a fight in the mail, or you pick
- 7:34Speaker 5: up a branch swat away flies and suddenly you find
- 7:37Speaker 5: you wouldn't bother This does not make it a tourist destination,
- 7:41Speaker 5: and in fact, I think it should be a very
- 7:42Speaker 5: good tourist destination because it's meant to be one of
- 7:45Speaker 5: the Australian icons. But what I find ironic about this
- 7:48Speaker 5: You've got these Aboriginal corporations. They're saying, no, you need
- 7:53Speaker 5: to come, and you need to respect our our land,
- 7:56Speaker 5: you need to respect Ularu. Yet they're not actually showing
- 7:59Speaker 5: any respect themselves for the tourists who are coming there
- 8:02Speaker 5: to pay their own respects to what is a natural
- 8:05Speaker 5: and beautiful icon.
- 8:06Speaker 2: And that is just the point.
- 8:08Speaker 5: We're talking about nature here, we're talking about sticks, we're
- 8:11Speaker 5: talking about a rock formation, we are talking about nature.
- 8:14Speaker 2: Money. Where does money come into a prayer?
- 8:17Speaker 4: And the other funny thing is that tourist destinations around
- 8:20Speaker 4: the world will pay influences to go there to make
- 8:24Speaker 4: YouTube videos showing off these destinations to try and get
- 8:28Speaker 4: more people to come. I mean places like Saudi Arabia
- 8:31Speaker 4: that are trying to invent whole tourism industries. They're being
- 8:34Speaker 4: big money to influencers to come in film places. Meanwhile,
- 8:37Speaker 4: here in Australia, we are finding people for showing off
- 8:40Speaker 4: some of our best national treasures.
- 8:43Speaker 7: What is the logic it is.
- 8:44Speaker 3: Rock resort where you can go and stay when you
- 8:46Speaker 3: visit Ularu. On their website they offer advice to people
- 8:50Speaker 3: who are going there and they talk about if you're
- 8:52Speaker 3: going to do commercial photography, you'll need to purchase a permit.
- 8:55Speaker 3: And on their website they explain, while this may seem restrictive,
- 8:59Speaker 3: do you think these measures are put in place to
- 9:02Speaker 3: a protect the fragile natural environment.
- 9:06Speaker 1: I presume the money is used to.
- 9:08Speaker 3: Update local landscaping things and so on, and to respect
- 9:13Speaker 3: the cultural values of the local indigenous people. How does
- 9:17Speaker 3: purchasing a permit to take a photograph respect the natural
- 9:21Speaker 3: or the cultural values and our cultural values for sale.
- 9:24Speaker 3: That's what is implied exactly. We have our cultural values,
- 9:28Speaker 3: but they can be bought.
- 9:30Speaker 5: But the thing is as well there it should be
- 9:32Speaker 5: no group in Australia that should be given these sorts
- 9:35Speaker 5: of exclusive rights above every other person. Because in the end,
- 9:39Speaker 5: I mean it goes back to what we talk about
- 9:41Speaker 5: a lot. We are all Australians, We are all one.
- 9:44Speaker 5: There is not one group in society. And don't forget
- 9:47Speaker 5: we tried to put an end to this sort of
- 9:48Speaker 5: division by the color of our skin when we all voted,
- 9:51Speaker 5: the majority of us know to the voice referendums, so
- 9:53Speaker 5: that should.
- 9:54Speaker 2: Have been a clear signal.
- 9:55Speaker 5: But again it just goes back to this old woke
- 9:58Speaker 5: nonsense that's been ped by certain groups of society.
- 10:02Speaker 2: And again good luck because.
- 10:03Speaker 5: You're not going to get a lot of tourists coming
- 10:05Speaker 5: to all the roof. That's your motto in life. Now, look,
- 10:08Speaker 5: we've got to talk about rapper Snoop dog Snoop Doggie
- 10:12Speaker 5: dog whatever, the cool kids and trying to call him
- 10:15Speaker 5: these days. Now you'll know he's been in the media
- 10:17Speaker 5: here in Australia recently because he's going to be part
- 10:21Speaker 5: of the pregame entertainment at the AFL Grand Final.
- 10:24Speaker 2: Now you know the lefties are up in Ar'm saying.
- 10:26Speaker 5: Oh, his previous rap lyrics are very sexist and misogynistic. Well,
- 10:31Speaker 5: now the left they having yet another meltdown, but this
- 10:35Speaker 5: time because of comments he made on a podcast where
- 10:39Speaker 5: he spoke about taking his grandchild to see a movie
- 10:42Speaker 5: called Light Cheer back in twenty twenty two. This is
- 10:46Speaker 5: a Disney animated film whereby there are two mothers.
- 10:52Speaker 2: He was completely confused.
- 10:53Speaker 5: Now can you imagine what the child would be like,
- 10:55Speaker 5: but this is what he said to the podcast about
- 10:57Speaker 5: taking his grandchild.
- 10:59Speaker 8: To that my grandson in the middle of the movie,
- 11:02Speaker 8: like Papa sloop, why she have a baby with a woman?
- 11:05Speaker 8: She WoT me. Oh, I didn't come in for this,
- 11:09Speaker 8: just came in watching goddamn movie. Hey man, watch the movie.
- 11:13Speaker 8: It's like this. I'm scared to go to the movies now,
- 11:15Speaker 8: like y'all throwing me in the middle. I don't have
- 11:17Speaker 8: an answer for it.
- 11:18Speaker 2: Threw me for a loop.
- 11:19Speaker 8: These are kids that we have to show that at
- 11:22Speaker 8: this asy like that, they're going to ask questions. Yeah,
- 11:27Speaker 8: they are going to ask I don't have an answer.
- 11:30Speaker 2: Well, guess what, snoop.
- 11:31Speaker 5: I don't have an answer either, And I think many
- 11:33Speaker 5: people out there probably do not have an answer, because
- 11:37Speaker 5: this is the problem.
- 11:38Speaker 2: You take a child to go and watch a movie and.
- 11:40Speaker 5: You want to sit there and you want to enjoy
- 11:41Speaker 5: the entertainment, and you don't want to be presented with
- 11:44Speaker 5: woke ideology, right, But then you have to go through
- 11:47Speaker 5: the process of a child going mummy, daddy, why are
- 11:50Speaker 5: they're two mummies? Mummy daddy, Why they're two daddies? Mummy daddy?
- 11:53Speaker 5: Why is this person dressed as a woman when they're
- 11:56Speaker 5: actually a man. This is the problem, and this is
- 11:59Speaker 5: where the indoctrine started. We see it. In fact, Disney
- 12:02Speaker 5: has gone wake. We know Disney's been going wake for
- 12:04Speaker 5: quite some time. But I've also got to say, when
- 12:07Speaker 5: you've got a rapper who smokes weed, you.
- 12:10Speaker 2: Know he's up there with the best of them.
- 12:11Speaker 5: Was probably high during that interview that he's given with
- 12:14Speaker 5: that podcast. When he says that something he is wrong,
- 12:17Speaker 5: you know that there's something critically wrong with the left
- 12:19Speaker 5: right now.
- 12:20Speaker 3: So the implication is that if you would find it
- 12:23Speaker 3: difficult to explain to a small child how two women
- 12:27Speaker 3: can have a baby, that you are bigoted and hateful,
- 12:31Speaker 3: or moreover, that.
- 12:32Speaker 1: You're actually morally wrong.
- 12:34Speaker 3: Slipdog there is just articulating what I think most grandparents
- 12:39Speaker 3: would articulate that a they would find it difficult to
- 12:42Speaker 3: explain to a kid how two women can have a baby,
- 12:46Speaker 3: And secondly, they're desire to go to a movie with
- 12:48Speaker 3: their grandkids and not have to explain biology, LGBTQ, ideology,
- 12:55Speaker 3: et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. The other issue here
- 12:58Speaker 3: is not cultural. It's also an AFL problem. Now, yes,
- 13:01Speaker 3: because this is just amplified calls for Snoop Dogg to
- 13:04Speaker 3: be ditched from the halftime entertainment at the Grand Final.
- 13:08Speaker 3: And the only reason this is an issue is because
- 13:10Speaker 3: the AFL have set themselves up as the most woke
- 13:13Speaker 3: sporting organization in the country. They have a gender diversity policy,
- 13:17Speaker 3: they've got a National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Advisory Council,
- 13:22Speaker 3: They've got a General Manager of Inclusion Social Policy, They've
- 13:25Speaker 3: just released their Cultural Diversity.
- 13:26Speaker 1: Action Plan, and on and on it goes.
- 13:29Speaker 3: Instead of just sticking to football and putting on great
- 13:32Speaker 3: football games, the AFL have engaged in social engineering and
- 13:36Speaker 3: now find themselves in the middle of a culture war
- 13:39Speaker 3: where they're being eaten by their.
- 13:41Speaker 4: Own exactly and actually, today Green Senator Sarah Hanson Young
- 13:46Speaker 4: came out saying Snoop Dogg is a slur merchant. He's
- 13:50Speaker 4: absolutely horrible. We can't have him performing at the AFL
- 13:54Speaker 4: And just because the Greens are calling for him to
- 13:57Speaker 4: be canceled, I want Snoop Dogg and I.
- 13:59Speaker 2: Might even get it.
- 14:00Speaker 4: I get to the Grand fas if Snoop Dogg is
- 14:02Speaker 4: going to be there, but genuinely I mean, trying to
- 14:04Speaker 4: explain how babies are made to children is hard at
- 14:07Speaker 4: the best of times, let alone two women. He was
- 14:09Speaker 4: just voicing what every other parent would have been feeling.
- 14:14Speaker 7: And the other thing that confuses me, especially about.
- 14:16Speaker 4: The Greens hating on Snoop Dogg, is isn't one of
- 14:19Speaker 4: their key policies legalizing marijuana. I would have thought they
- 14:22Speaker 4: would have absolutely loved such an ambassador for catasts.
- 14:27Speaker 2: We've actually let's actually listen Sarah. This is what she
- 14:31Speaker 2: said today in parliament.
- 14:33Speaker 6: Why is it that the AFL is bringing in an
- 14:36Speaker 6: international artist, a slur merchant, paying them two million dollars
- 14:42Speaker 6: rather than backing bossie talent. Isaac Rankin was suspended last
- 14:47Speaker 6: week for using homophobic slurs, as he should have been,
- 14:50Speaker 6: But the irony is not lost on many of us
- 14:53Speaker 6: that while Isaac Rankin gets dumped, Snoop Dogg gets two
- 14:59Speaker 6: million dollars to play his misogynistic, homophobic music.
- 15:05Speaker 5: I just feel like when Sarah Hanson Young stands up
- 15:07Speaker 5: and says something, it's like the clogs start turning, but
- 15:10Speaker 5: it's like she doesn't actually know what she's saying. She
- 15:12Speaker 5: just says something to try and sound like she does
- 15:14Speaker 5: know what she's saying. Look, clearly, come on. The Greens
- 15:17Speaker 5: are absolutely ridiculous on this. But I just think it
- 15:19Speaker 5: comes back down to a broader issue that we're seeing
- 15:21Speaker 5: in society now, where this LGBTQ plus whatever nonsense is
- 15:28Speaker 5: coming into classrooms. We've seen it in classrooms, but it's
- 15:31Speaker 5: now coming into cinema as well.
- 15:33Speaker 2: How about we let children be children, and how.
- 15:37Speaker 5: About we let parents parents and let mom and dad
- 15:42Speaker 5: if they want to explain to their children why two
- 15:45Speaker 5: mummies exist, let them do not promote it on Disney.
- 15:49Speaker 3: And the other thing about this is that give parents
- 15:53Speaker 3: the time to choose the time of their choosing to
- 15:56Speaker 3: explain these things. But I love the fact that the
- 15:58Speaker 3: Greens are suddenly great champions of Australian artists. They didn't
- 16:03Speaker 3: care when Robbie Williams performed.
- 16:05Speaker 1: At the Grand Final. They weren't campaigning for Ossie artists.
- 16:07Speaker 3: Then it's only when this whole LGBTQ issue comes up
- 16:11Speaker 3: suddenly it's all about Ossie artists today. By the way,
- 16:16Speaker 3: in case you don't know, is International dog Day. So
- 16:20Speaker 3: if you haven't yet pampered your pooch, you've got a
- 16:23Speaker 3: couple of hours left to make Fido feel special on
- 16:27Speaker 3: I can't believe dogs.
- 16:28Speaker 1: Get an international day, but there you go. Everyone gets one.
- 16:31Speaker 3: And there's been a survey done in The survey is
- 16:36Speaker 3: called the twenty twenty five Australian Pet Lifestyle Index, So
- 16:40Speaker 3: now pets not only have an International Day, pets have
- 16:42Speaker 3: a lifestyle apparently, and the findings were quite astonishing. They
- 16:47Speaker 3: found ninety two percent of dogs sleep indoors. We always
- 16:51Speaker 3: had dogs growing up, and there was never a thought
- 16:53Speaker 3: that our dog would sleep indoors. It was always outdoors.
- 16:57Speaker 3: But this is a stat that really got me. Sixty
- 16:59Speaker 3: two percent of dog owners have their dogs sleep in
- 17:03Speaker 3: their bedroom and or in their bed with them, which
- 17:06Speaker 3: is just way too far. The conclusion of this survey was,
- 17:11Speaker 3: and I quote, we are well and truly in our
- 17:13Speaker 3: pet parenting era.
- 17:16Speaker 1: Pets are no longer just companions.
- 17:18Speaker 3: They're treated as family members, with diets better than ours
- 17:21Speaker 3: and sleeping arrangements that rival ours too. Now, I went
- 17:25Speaker 3: on to a website was promoting International Dog Day Frayer
- 17:29Speaker 3: and here's some of the suggestions as to how you
- 17:31Speaker 3: could celebrate.
- 17:32Speaker 1: International Dog Day.
- 17:33Speaker 3: This will give you a clue as to just how
- 17:36Speaker 3: enamored with our pets we've become. I'll ask Freyer and
- 17:39Speaker 3: Deneco and a second if this is healthy. Number one,
- 17:42Speaker 3: enjoy International Dog Appreciation Day at a dog cafe and spa.
- 17:47Speaker 3: Sounds tempting, or it gets better. Make some International Dog
- 17:50Speaker 3: Day treats.
- 17:51Speaker 1: Ah, all right, what about this? Watch TV with your dog.
- 17:58Speaker 4: Watching the lights of it right now with their dogs
- 18:00Speaker 4: absolutely loved.
- 18:02Speaker 3: Caleb is probably a home watching the Bait with his cat.
- 18:05Speaker 3: Pay your dog's portrait with another suggestion, and finally, let
- 18:09Speaker 3: your dog sleep in your bed on Dog Appreciation Day.
- 18:13Speaker 3: I'll tell you what I would do. I would let
- 18:15Speaker 3: my dog fetch the newspaper and maybe my slippers if
- 18:18Speaker 3: he's been really good. But watching TV with me getting
- 18:21Speaker 3: in my bed not on your life?
- 18:23Speaker 4: Well, look, I think what's really going on here is
- 18:26Speaker 4: people need to be having babies and grand babies, but
- 18:29Speaker 4: they're not. Our birth rate is plummeting, and in as
- 18:32Speaker 4: a substitute, people getting dogs. The moment I realized my
- 18:36Speaker 4: husband and I had to deliver some grand babies was
- 18:39Speaker 4: when I looked at my.
- 18:41Speaker 7: Mother in law.
- 18:42Speaker 4: She had a portrait of her dog's parents like next
- 18:46Speaker 4: to the dog bowl. So now dog Patch could look
- 18:49Speaker 4: at his doggy parents. He has a bespoke like a
- 18:55Speaker 4: range I should say, of sweaters custom made near some
- 18:59Speaker 4: with his name on them. And he has a doggy
- 19:02Speaker 4: pram so he doesn't have to walk to the park,
- 19:06Speaker 4: but he can go off leash once he's at the park,
- 19:08Speaker 4: because it's a bit much.
- 19:09Speaker 1: For him to we talk about your parents or your
- 19:11Speaker 1: in laws.
- 19:11Speaker 7: He's my in laws. I should clarify.
- 19:13Speaker 1: You're throwing your in laws under the.
- 19:16Speaker 2: Late debate.
- 19:17Speaker 4: Julia will be watching this right now. Probably we've patch
- 19:20Speaker 4: also watching the late Debate.
- 19:22Speaker 2: So go Look, I just think this is really sweet.
- 19:24Speaker 5: Okay, I do not have a problem, James, I actually
- 19:27Speaker 5: disagree with you. I don't have a problem with people
- 19:29Speaker 5: wanting to sleep with their dogs. I think it's quite cute.
- 19:32Speaker 2: Right now.
- 19:32Speaker 5: Look, I will preface by saying, if I was married,
- 19:35Speaker 5: I would to want the.
- 19:36Speaker 2: Dog in the bed. I would kick the dog out
- 19:38Speaker 2: of the bed.
- 19:39Speaker 5: But I actually think it's really really sweet. I think
- 19:43Speaker 5: that dogs are a man's best friend. And don't forget
- 19:45Speaker 5: people are looking for companionship in the era of loneliness.
- 19:49Speaker 5: As they say, now see the state governments around the country.
- 19:52Speaker 5: They want to do loneliness ministers ministers, right, minister for loneliness,
- 19:56Speaker 5: how about just get a dog instead? That'll you are
- 19:59Speaker 5: your loneliness in life.
- 20:00Speaker 1: That's really sad.
- 20:02Speaker 3: But I honestly think animals should be great companions. But
- 20:05Speaker 3: you've got a loneliness problem in this country. You don't
- 20:08Speaker 3: solve it by giving people an animal. You solve it
- 20:10Speaker 3: by facilitating human contact.
- 20:12Speaker 2: I think it can actually help people. I really don't.
- 20:15Speaker 1: You know why.
- 20:16Speaker 5: You know why because you like, For example, in my
- 20:19Speaker 5: local area, there are so many dogs dogs clubs, right,
- 20:22Speaker 5: and people always go out there, they take their dogs,
- 20:25Speaker 5: They all mingle, they all play, they all chat. That
- 20:27Speaker 5: actually gets people out of the house as opposed to
- 20:30Speaker 5: at home in their own heads and out in public.
- 20:33Speaker 5: So I do not have a problem, and I think
- 20:35Speaker 5: that dogs should be celebrated on this special day.
- 20:37Speaker 1: Okay.
- 20:37Speaker 3: So a survey in the United States found a third
- 20:39Speaker 3: of millennials what age of millennials.
- 20:42Speaker 7: Thirty to forty?
- 20:43Speaker 3: Okay, so a third of people in that age group
- 20:46Speaker 3: would take a lower paying job so they could spend
- 20:49Speaker 3: more time at home with their pets.
- 20:51Speaker 2: Well that's done again.
- 20:53Speaker 4: I told you these are people that should be having children.
- 20:56Speaker 4: They're not, so they're having done that's what you would
- 20:58Speaker 4: do for your child.
- 20:59Speaker 7: Take a lot of things.
- 21:00Speaker 3: Dog, I agree, and we're projecting human attributes onto animals.
- 21:05Speaker 3: But they are like here, okay, do you know what
- 21:07Speaker 3: I find rolls for their dogs because they think their
- 21:10Speaker 3: dog's got anxiety?
- 21:11Speaker 2: They do the dog. No, people disagree.
- 21:14Speaker 5: They do know dogs have separation anxiety. That is actually
- 21:20Speaker 5: a thing, but dogs do. There's certain breeds like poodle
- 21:25Speaker 5: type breathes. They anxiety.
- 21:29Speaker 3: You are going to have your dog sleep in your bed,
- 21:31Speaker 3: then you're gonna get married, and then you've told us,
- 21:33Speaker 3: dog goes the dog.
- 21:34Speaker 1: Dog, it's going to be on anxiety.
- 21:36Speaker 5: The dogs has to get out of bed. Jameson No, No,
- 21:39Speaker 5: I disagree. But do you know what though, like, I'm
- 21:42Speaker 5: fine and look, I don't mean to be rude here,
- 21:44Speaker 5: but do you ever find.
- 21:44Speaker 2: That dogs sometimes look a little bit like their owners? Yes?
- 21:47Speaker 2: Do you know what I mean?
- 21:48Speaker 5: Dogs end up going No, dogs end up morphing and
- 21:51Speaker 5: looking like their owners.
- 21:52Speaker 2: I find like I walk around parks.
- 21:54Speaker 5: And it's almost like you can match the dog to
- 21:56Speaker 5: their owner, because they start morphing into one after a while.
- 21:59Speaker 5: That's my foot I don't mean that disrespectfully.
- 22:01Speaker 2: I love dogs. I've had dogs throughout.
- 22:03Speaker 5: My whole life, but maybe I look like my previous dogs.
- 22:07Speaker 1: If you love dogs, let me get your opinion on this.
- 22:09Speaker 3: There's a cafe in like art here in Sydney where
- 22:13Speaker 3: regulars are very familiar with Pongo, the dog owned by
- 22:18Speaker 3: the proprietors of said cafe. But someone gave the cafe
- 22:23Speaker 3: a one star review and complained that the dog had
- 22:26Speaker 3: been in the kitchen, and as a result of that,
- 22:29Speaker 3: the cafe owners were issued with an eight hundred and
- 22:31Speaker 3: eighty dollar fine and told the fines will increase if
- 22:35Speaker 3: there's ever another.
- 22:36Speaker 1: Report that the dog is in the cafe.
- 22:39Speaker 3: I don't like the going online and bagging these people out,
- 22:43Speaker 3: but I don't like a dog in a cafe either.
- 22:46Speaker 3: Now there's a dispute as to whether or not the
- 22:48Speaker 3: dog was in the kitchen. But when I want to
- 22:50Speaker 3: go and eat my food, no dogs, that's too far.
- 22:53Speaker 1: No, not my cafe.
- 22:56Speaker 4: Well, I love a dog, no, if I had I've
- 22:58Speaker 4: had dogs my whole life. Unfortunately I don't have one
- 23:01Speaker 4: at the moment, but I want to get one. I
- 23:03Speaker 4: would totally bring it to a cafe I bring it
- 23:05Speaker 4: to the pum, I bring it anywhere inside the cafe
- 23:09Speaker 4: if they let me.
- 23:09Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.
- 23:10Speaker 4: Well that's a unique selling point for some business. Isn't
- 23:13Speaker 4: dog friendly cafes there's a real market.
- 23:15Speaker 1: You neque selling point for the cafe down the road.
- 23:17Speaker 2: I think No, I think it is.
- 23:18Speaker 5: And even there are some cafes that they have dog
- 23:21Speaker 5: treats on hand. They give them out to you for free. Now, look,
- 23:25Speaker 5: I don't like the dog in the kitchen. That I
- 23:27Speaker 5: will say. I don't like the idea of a dog
- 23:29Speaker 5: in a kitchen if there's food in the kitchen, because
- 23:31Speaker 5: there's food in the kitchen.
- 23:32Speaker 2: Food, the animals, animals, sugar.
- 23:34Speaker 5: No, but they're self contained, and I just think it's
- 23:37Speaker 5: something nice.
- 23:38Speaker 2: Like I know again in my local area a lot
- 23:40Speaker 2: of owners.
- 23:40Speaker 5: Who do have their dogs. The dogs roam free and
- 23:43Speaker 5: people love them. Again, it's nice companionship. James, come on,
- 23:47Speaker 5: where is your compassionate life?
- 23:49Speaker 7: James is heartless?
- 23:51Speaker 5: James Harpler, No, James, maybe I do need friends. Maybe
- 23:54Speaker 5: this is a sudden realization that they could. Georgie I
- 23:56Speaker 5: always having on the late debate, But really I just
- 23:59Speaker 5: think that beautiful.
- 24:00Speaker 4: Yeah, not in the kitchen. But we love dogs. We
- 24:03Speaker 4: love dogs. Any dogs that are watching now, we love you,
- 24:05Speaker 4: We love you. Happy International Dog.
- 24:07Speaker 2: Day, but except from James.
- 24:09Speaker 4: James, but on far less happy news. Today we saw
- 24:14Speaker 4: really a shocking and unprecedented revelation come from ASIO and
- 24:18Speaker 4: the Prime Minister that Iran and the IRGC was behind two,
- 24:23Speaker 4: at least two of the anti Semitic attacks here in Sydney.
- 24:26Speaker 7: This was Albanezi and Mike Burgers.
- 24:28Speaker 2: Today.
- 24:30Speaker 9: AZIO now assesses the Iranian government directed at least two
- 24:33Speaker 9: and likely more attacks on Duish interests in Australia. Our
- 24:38Speaker 9: painstaking investigation uncovered and unpicked the links between the alleged
- 24:42Speaker 9: crimes and the commanders in Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps
- 24:47Speaker 9: the IRGC.
- 24:48Speaker 10: Iran has sought to disguise its involvement, but ASIO assesses
- 24:52Speaker 10: it was behind the attacks on the Lewis Continental Kitchen
- 24:55Speaker 10: in Sydney on October twenty last year and the Israel
- 25:01Speaker 10: Synagogue in Melbourne on December sixth last year.
- 25:05Speaker 4: So there are a few things that stand out to
- 25:07Speaker 4: me from this. I mean, the first thing is, since
- 25:09Speaker 4: October seven, we've been saying that anti Semitism is not
- 25:13Speaker 4: just a Jewish problem, It's an Australian problem. An attack
- 25:16Speaker 4: on Jews is an attack on Australia, and this is
- 25:18Speaker 4: confirmation of that attacks on Jews are being used as
- 25:22Speaker 4: a way to undermine our country, undermine our social cohesion.
- 25:26Speaker 7: So that's the first thing.
- 25:27Speaker 4: The second thing is I have a strong suspicion that
- 25:32Speaker 4: this is just one part of the very complex and
- 25:36Speaker 4: dangerous web that is Iranian foreign interference in Australia. If
- 25:41Speaker 4: they are orchestrating attacks, what else are they orchestrating. We
- 25:44Speaker 4: know that China, Russia, Iran are using social media to
- 25:49Speaker 4: spread propaganda about Israel. I want to know they behind
- 25:52Speaker 4: some of these protests. We've seen people holding our portraits
- 25:55Speaker 4: of ayatold Hamani, of flying Iranian Iranian regime flags at
- 26:01Speaker 4: pro Palestine protests around Australia. There needs to be a
- 26:06Speaker 4: serious investigation into every single one of these organizers of
- 26:11Speaker 4: these protests, of the people attending who held up those signs,
- 26:14Speaker 4: because clearly the IRGC is active, is coordinating attacks in Australia,
- 26:20Speaker 4: and we need to know who else they have on
- 26:23Speaker 4: the payroll in our country.
- 26:25Speaker 7: As a matter of national security.
- 26:27Speaker 1: I wonder how.
- 26:27Speaker 3: Bob Carr and Ed Husick, who we saw in that
- 26:29Speaker 3: photograph they're standing close to the portrait of the Aya
- 26:34Speaker 3: Toll of Iran must be feeling now knowing that Iran
- 26:38Speaker 3: is behind a number of attacks on Jewish people in
- 26:41Speaker 3: this country. Now, of course they claim they didn't know
- 26:43Speaker 3: it was there, and they probably didn't, but if you
- 26:46Speaker 3: go to one of these marches, you know that there
- 26:48Speaker 3: are going to be all sorts of things happening, which
- 26:51Speaker 3: is why I think most sensible people would stay well
- 26:53Speaker 3: away from them, even if they are concerned about what's
- 26:56Speaker 3: happening in Palestine, as all of us are concerned about
- 27:00Speaker 3: civilians there. The other thing this demonstrates is the absolute
- 27:04Speaker 3: hatred that the Islamic government of Iran has for Jews.
- 27:09Speaker 3: That you would think they've got enough that they're doing
- 27:12Speaker 3: in their own region to try and kill Jews and
- 27:15Speaker 3: persecute Jews without stretching their tentacles all the way to
- 27:20Speaker 3: Australia right down under to harass Jews here. It just
- 27:24Speaker 3: shows you how manevolent, how toxic, and how difficult to
- 27:29Speaker 3: eradicate this hatred of Jews really is. And from the
- 27:33Speaker 3: Islamic Republic of Iran where it's a religious hatred that
- 27:38Speaker 3: is whipped up and propagated by their government.
- 27:40Speaker 5: Well, don't forget Iran has got tentacles everywhere. Don't forget
- 27:44Speaker 5: that Iran is funding terror across the world. Iran is
- 27:47Speaker 5: supporting the military of Hamas and they're funding Hamas.
- 27:51Speaker 2: Iran is also funding Hezbola, So.
- 27:53Speaker 5: They've got their fingers in every part. The Hooti rebels
- 27:56Speaker 5: that they're absolutely funding it. First point, I would make
- 27:59Speaker 5: though photo that we saw so that was from the
- 28:01Speaker 5: harbor Bridge protest where you saw Bob Carr and current
- 28:04Speaker 5: Labor MP ed Hugh Sick.
- 28:06Speaker 2: That photo will haunt Labor.
- 28:08Speaker 5: Forever now based on what the revelations were today that
- 28:11Speaker 5: we've got Iran responsible for at least two attacks here
- 28:15Speaker 5: in Australia and ASIO is investigating more. That image I
- 28:19Speaker 5: think sums up exactly what is wrong with the Labor
- 28:22Speaker 5: Party right now in this country. It shows a complete
- 28:24Speaker 5: lack of respect, lack of complete disregard for all Jewish Australians,
- 28:28Speaker 5: not just Jewish Australians, for.
- 28:30Speaker 3: All of us, all of us have been for one second. Yeah,
- 28:33Speaker 3: you've made a great point. You've just reminded me of
- 28:34Speaker 3: something because I was giving them the benefit of the doubt. Right,
- 28:37Speaker 3: maybe they didn't know it was there, but remember Tony
- 28:39Speaker 3: Abbott when he gave a speech to there was to
- 28:41Speaker 3: ditch the which side exactly, and the left did not
- 28:43Speaker 3: give him the benefit of the doubt.
- 28:45Speaker 2: No, no, it was there.
- 28:46Speaker 1: They crucified him for that.
- 28:47Speaker 2: They carry on.
- 28:48Speaker 1: You make a very good point.
- 28:49Speaker 5: Well, I was just going to say, because that photo
- 28:51Speaker 5: now is a I mean, it was a disgrace to
- 28:53Speaker 5: start with, but it just represents.
- 28:55Speaker 2: So much more now about the Labor Party after today's revelations.
- 28:58Speaker 5: Second point I would make is that our colleague are brilliant.
- 29:02Speaker 2: Colleague Caroline Marcus.
- 29:03Speaker 5: Reported last year that Labor was preparing to list Iran's
- 29:07Speaker 5: Revolutionary Regards as a terror group, but then suddenly had
- 29:10Speaker 5: a change of mind, a little bit of an epiphany
- 29:13Speaker 5: last year, and this was based on freedom of information requests.
- 29:17Speaker 5: And now here we are, almost twelve months later, and
- 29:20Speaker 5: where ari where are we now today? Labour's had some
- 29:23Speaker 5: sort of come to Jesus moment, going on, well we
- 29:25Speaker 5: better prescribe them a terrorist organization.
- 29:27Speaker 2: Why wouldn't you have just done that last year?
- 29:29Speaker 3: Here's another thing, Labour gave zero support really to Donald
- 29:33Speaker 3: Trump for attacking Iran's nuclear facilities. Now we realize, thank
- 29:38Speaker 3: god for Donald Trump, he was attacking what the Australian
- 29:41Speaker 3: government is now going to designate a terror organization's nuclear
- 29:45Speaker 3: weapons facilities. But Trump got no credit for that. He
- 29:48Speaker 3: got sort of just very curt responses from Penny Wong,
- 29:53Speaker 3: from Anthony Albanizi for that attack. They refused to come
- 29:56Speaker 3: out and positively support the US in their military action.
- 30:00Speaker 3: Now the Australian government says, oh, actually they are a
- 30:03Speaker 3: terrorist organization and they've been attacking Australian Well.
- 30:06Speaker 4: I think this is a government that has been at
- 30:08Speaker 4: best willfully blind, at worst completely negligent and knowingly going
- 30:15Speaker 4: along with this. And if you think about it, alban
- 30:18Speaker 4: Ezy's government has played right into the hands of Iran. Remember,
- 30:22Speaker 4: October seven was launched because Saudi Arabia was about to
- 30:26Speaker 4: normalize relations with Israel and join the Abraham Accords. October
- 30:30Speaker 4: seven was launched as a way to stop the peace process,
- 30:34Speaker 4: and as a senior Hamas official said, no one was
- 30:37Speaker 4: talking about Palestinian statehood before October seven, before all these rallies,
- 30:41Speaker 4: before all the anti Israel anti Semitic retoric.
- 30:44Speaker 7: It was not a conversation that was being had.
- 30:47Speaker 4: Now fast forward almost two years later and we're saying
- 30:50Speaker 4: we're going to recognize Palestinian statehood. We have turned our
- 30:54Speaker 4: backs entirely on Israel. We have pivoted more towards China
- 30:58Speaker 4: and pushed ourselves away from the US. We have played
- 31:02Speaker 4: completely and utterly into the hands of Iran. And it
- 31:07Speaker 4: is embarrassing. But you see their operation has worked. October
- 31:11Speaker 4: seven was successful. The relentless rallies against Israel have been
- 31:14Speaker 4: so successful. You have labor former ministers marching in front
- 31:19Speaker 4: of portraits of Kimani. We have been muted as a
- 31:22Speaker 4: nation by a terrorist state, and that is to our
- 31:25Speaker 4: eternal shame.
- 31:26Speaker 5: Well, don't forget the day after October seven, remember Penny
- 31:29Speaker 5: Wong called for what was it, she said, restraint? She
- 31:32Speaker 5: called for a restraint the bridge protests of the Harbor
- 31:35Speaker 5: Bridge in Sydney a couple of weeks ago. The day after,
- 31:37Speaker 5: Anthony Aarberesi came out and said, no, it was it
- 31:40Speaker 5: was quite peaceful.
- 31:40Speaker 2: It was quite peaceful.
- 31:42Speaker 5: Well, Anthony Aarberesi, guess what that photo is going to
- 31:45Speaker 5: haunt you and your ministers for the rest of time now,
- 31:48Speaker 5: and that is an absolute disgrace and it's absolute on
- 31:51Speaker 5: our bow.
- 31:51Speaker 2: Now, Look, we talk about war, and let's.
- 31:54Speaker 5: Be honest, there's really only one country that is forging
- 31:57Speaker 5: ahead with a plan for war and is really happy
- 32:00Speaker 5: to stamp and put their foot down, and that is
- 32:02Speaker 5: the United States. Because Donald Trump is now considering renaming
- 32:07Speaker 5: their Department of Defense back to its old original title
- 32:12Speaker 5: Department of War. Now this was actually its original name,
- 32:16Speaker 5: known for one hundred and fifty years. The President says
- 32:20Speaker 5: he's pursuing this possible reversal simply because.
- 32:23Speaker 2: It sounds better and makes America stronger.
- 32:25Speaker 3: Have a listen, we won the World War One, World
- 32:30Speaker 3: War Two, it was called the Department of.
- 32:32Speaker 11: War, and to me, that's really what it is.
- 32:37Speaker 10: It's defense is a part of that.
- 32:39Speaker 1: But I have a feeling we're going to be changing.
- 32:41Speaker 1: I'm going to I'm talking to the people.
- 32:43Speaker 2: Everybody likes that now.
- 32:46Speaker 5: It was known as the War Department from seventeen eighty
- 32:49Speaker 5: nine to nineteen forty seven, and then of course the
- 32:51Speaker 5: Democrats came in and tried to change it. But I
- 32:54Speaker 5: just think that America is sending a very strong signal
- 32:56Speaker 5: to the world here. Department of War has a very
- 32:59Speaker 5: strong tone to it.
- 33:01Speaker 2: It suggests we win wars, we.
- 33:03Speaker 5: Crush our enemies, we look at enemies in the eye,
- 33:06Speaker 5: and it's about clarity in my view, none of this
- 33:08Speaker 5: wishy washy, soft bureaucrat nonsense.
- 33:11Speaker 2: America first, that America will.
- 33:12Speaker 3: Defend, which is what Pete Hegseth said when he was
- 33:15Speaker 3: made Secretary of Defense. I wonder if he'll be Secretary
- 33:18Speaker 3: of War now, but he talked about the fact that
- 33:21Speaker 3: the US military has to be a fighting machine, not
- 33:25Speaker 3: some social engineering outfit that happens to have a few
- 33:29Speaker 3: tanks on the side. And so you're absolutely right, Nika.
- 33:32Speaker 3: This provides focus not just for America's enemies, but for
- 33:36Speaker 3: America's troops and generals, and also for the American population
- 33:40Speaker 3: because in the Western world we haven't experienced war. Really,
- 33:44Speaker 3: this generation knows nothing of it and no wonder left.
- 33:47Speaker 1: These are reacting to it. You can't call it the
- 33:49Speaker 1: Department of War. That sounds violent.
- 33:52Speaker 3: That is kind of the point. And now they're accusing Trump,
- 33:55Speaker 3: of course of being a warmonger. Despite that, one am
- 33:57Speaker 3: I doing more to try to bring peace and calm
- 34:00Speaker 3: around the globe than Trump.
- 34:01Speaker 1: But he is a realist.
- 34:03Speaker 3: And so many of our Western leaders are ruling and
- 34:06Speaker 3: governing in a world that they wish existed rather than
- 34:09Speaker 3: the world that does exist. And whatever you think of Trump,
- 34:12Speaker 3: you've got to give him that he's a realist.
- 34:14Speaker 4: And I think that I mean the symbolism of moving
- 34:17Speaker 4: from Department of Defense to Department of War. Yes, esthetically
- 34:22Speaker 4: it sounds better, but there's deep symbolism there because since
- 34:26Speaker 4: World War II, the West has basically said, and really
- 34:28Speaker 4: the world, let's all just pull back, let's all just
- 34:31Speaker 4: be weak, kind and inclusive and hope that everyone gets along.
- 34:35Speaker 4: All that has done is in Bolden, China, Russia, Iran.
- 34:40Speaker 4: We don't have the luxury of doing that anymore. So
- 34:44Speaker 4: this shift saying actually, no, we're not going to be
- 34:46Speaker 4: on the back foot just defending. We're going to be
- 34:48Speaker 4: proactively going out into the world. As was said at
- 34:51Speaker 4: the NATO conference, that is home the US home, they're
- 34:55Speaker 4: here and they're ready for war.
- 34:58Speaker 3: Well, speaking of realism, there's none of that in Chicago,
- 35:01Speaker 3: where crime is absolutely out of control. For thirteen consecutive years,
- 35:05Speaker 3: Chicago's had the most murders of any city in the
- 35:08Speaker 3: United States. In fact, Chicago has more murders twice as
- 35:12Speaker 3: many as Islamabad and fifteen times more murders than Deli.
- 35:16Speaker 3: And yet the Chicago mayor says the way to solve
- 35:19Speaker 3: violence is not by jailing people, because that's racist and immoral.
- 35:23Speaker 1: Have listened to the mayor.
- 35:25Speaker 12: We cannot incarcerate. Are we out of violence? We've already
- 35:30Speaker 12: tried that. If we've ended up with the largest prison
- 35:33Speaker 12: population in the world without solving the problems of crime
- 35:36Speaker 12: and violence, the addiction on jails and incarceration in this country,
- 35:41Speaker 12: we have moved past that. It is racist, it is immoral,
- 35:45Speaker 12: it is unholy, and it is not the way to
- 35:48Speaker 12: drive violence down.
- 35:50Speaker 3: It's immoral to jail violent offenders and unholy. No wonder
- 35:54Speaker 3: there's crime problem in Chicago, and no wonder Donald Trump
- 35:57Speaker 3: is suggesting maybe he should send the National Guard there.
- 36:00Speaker 7: Well.
- 36:01Speaker 3: Of course, the governor of Illinois, Jay Pritzk, he's having
- 36:04Speaker 3: none of that. He says, if Trump does that, it's
- 36:06Speaker 3: just a sign he's tried to warm us up for
- 36:08Speaker 3: authoritarian rule.
- 36:09Speaker 1: Is he speaking?
- 36:12Speaker 11: This is about the President of the United States and
- 36:15Speaker 11: his complicit Lackey Stephen Miller searching for ways to lay
- 36:20Speaker 11: the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and
- 36:25Speaker 11: end elections.
- 36:27Speaker 3: Now, just before we get to dissecting that, he went
- 36:30Speaker 3: on to talk about how Trump will not live rent
- 36:33Speaker 3: free in his head.
- 36:36Speaker 11: We're very pleased about the progress that we're making. I
- 36:38Speaker 11: know that I live rent free in the president's head,
- 36:41Speaker 11: and I wish he would spend some time in Chicago
- 36:44Speaker 11: so that he could see what a lovely city we have.
- 36:46Speaker 2: Governor Collop, what do you do if the National Guard
- 36:50Speaker 2: is activated and comes in?
- 36:53Speaker 1: Oh, I love such a great part. I don't know
- 36:55Speaker 1: who the cameraman was.
- 36:58Speaker 2: Can I just point out that first of the cargo.
- 37:00Speaker 5: Mayor's name is Brandon Johnson has a fourteen percent approval.
- 37:03Speaker 2: Ratings very high.
- 37:06Speaker 5: Well, he has the worst mayor approval in US history.
- 37:09Speaker 5: What is it with the left that they don't want
- 37:10Speaker 5: to crack down on crime and why is it always racist? Well,
- 37:13Speaker 5: why they play that it's not racist to crack down
- 37:16Speaker 5: on crime. You should be celebrating the fact that Donald
- 37:18Speaker 5: Trump's putting an.
- 37:19Speaker 1: End to it.
- 37:19Speaker 3: Well, they certainly can't allow Trump to come in, because
- 37:21Speaker 3: that would be an admission.
- 37:22Speaker 1: That they have.
- 37:23Speaker 2: They fail the long minutes exactly.
- 37:25Speaker 3: And the mayor of Illinois is a potential Democrat presidential candidate,
- 37:31Speaker 3: and so he certainly can't have Trump.
- 37:33Speaker 4: They've got to realize this is not a winning strategy.
- 37:35Speaker 4: Opposing law and order is one way to guarantee you
- 37:37Speaker 4: will lose totally.
- 37:38Speaker 1: We're going to go to a break.
- 37:39Speaker 3: When we come back, we'll look at what's making headlines tomorrow,
- 37:42Speaker 3: including our offensive Minister Richard Marles has headed off to
- 37:44Speaker 3: the United States, but he still hasn't scheduled a meeting
- 37:48Speaker 3: with his US counterpart.
- 37:50Speaker 1: And we look at Alburn's Herald's Son and how they're.
- 37:52Speaker 3: Covering that horrific double murder of two police officers.
- 37:55Speaker 11: That more.
- 37:56Speaker 3: In just a moment, Welcome back to the late debate.
- 38:05Speaker 3: Let's take a look at tomorrow's headlines. We'll start with
- 38:08Speaker 3: Melbourne's Herald's Son, Beneker. Obviously a very difficult day in Melbourne.
- 38:12Speaker 5: Yeah, this is a really difficult day. Two police officers
- 38:15Speaker 5: have been shot dead. The suspect remains on the run.
- 38:17Speaker 5: You can have a look at the front page of
- 38:18Speaker 5: the Herald's Son. Hatred and Heroes is the caption Sovereign citizen.
- 38:23Speaker 5: Gunmen murdered cops in cold blood. Man hunters suspect flees
- 38:26Speaker 5: into dense bush. Two police officers were murdered in cold
- 38:29Speaker 5: blood in a sovereign citizen's alleged ambush on an isolated
- 38:32Speaker 5: Victorian farm. The Herald's son has been told the members
- 38:35Speaker 5: had boarded a bus used by Desi Freeman as a
- 38:38Speaker 5: home to carry out a gun check. It is then
- 38:40Speaker 5: alleged that mister Freeman, who was inside, suddenly emerged and
- 38:44Speaker 5: blasted them with a shotguard. Now as we go to
- 38:46Speaker 5: air tonight, this man remains on the run. Police are
- 38:49Speaker 5: still investigating the circumstances that led to this, what happened?
- 38:53Speaker 5: Who exactly this alleged sovereign citizen? You know self sovereign citizen?
- 38:57Speaker 5: Was but a shocking day for the police. It is
- 39:00Speaker 5: so so sad to hear, and no doubt it's just
- 39:03Speaker 5: rocked all of Victorian police.
- 39:05Speaker 3: And we just forget that every time a police officer
- 39:07Speaker 3: puts on his uniform and goes to work, he or
- 39:10Speaker 3: she are taking their lives in their own hands. You
- 39:13Speaker 3: forget how dangerous a job it is. At the point
- 39:15Speaker 3: where and I presume I guess a weapons check is
- 39:19Speaker 3: it'd probably be a little bit on edge, but even
- 39:21Speaker 3: a traffic stop, you just never know the most ordinary thing.
- 39:24Speaker 2: But it happened in Queensland.
- 39:25Speaker 1: Turn in in a moment.
- 39:26Speaker 5: Remember in Queensland it happened as well when those police
- 39:29Speaker 5: officers were gone down a few years ago, again just
- 39:31Speaker 5: going for a simple check.
- 39:33Speaker 2: Gun down. It's just terrible.
- 39:34Speaker 7: It's such a tragedy. And to think he's still at
- 39:37Speaker 7: large as well.
- 39:38Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure the community down there in Victoria.
- 39:41Speaker 7: Is still in lockdown, so it's just it's just horrible.
- 39:44Speaker 4: But moving on to the Australian now, tomorrow's front page
- 39:48Speaker 4: is obviously.
- 39:48Speaker 7: All about Iran.
- 39:50Speaker 4: Iran attacks US it runs Islamist regime used a web
- 39:54Speaker 4: of spies and organized criminals to launch multiple terrorist attacks
- 39:58Speaker 4: on Australia's Jewish community, in an unprecedented assault on the
- 40:02Speaker 4: nation's social fabric that it sparks the severing of diplomatic
- 40:05Speaker 4: ties with Tehran. The Ietolas ambassador to Australia has been expelled,
- 40:10Speaker 4: and Canberra's envoy in Tehran has fled the country with
- 40:13Speaker 4: his staff after Asio informed the government that Tehran was
- 40:16Speaker 4: behind at least two attacks last year's fire bombings of
- 40:20Speaker 4: Melbourne's Adas Synagogue and a Kosher cafe in Sydney. I mean,
- 40:26Speaker 4: it's just so unbelievable to think a foreign government carried
- 40:32Speaker 4: out the bombing of a synagogue and a cafe in Australia.
- 40:36Speaker 7: Is that not an act of war?
- 40:38Speaker 3: Rig Sheridan's got a great column printed on the front
- 40:41Speaker 3: page of Tomorrow's Australian where he makes the point that
- 40:43Speaker 3: it's not only Iran, but other nations that are hostile
- 40:46Speaker 3: to Australia have far too many diplomats in this country,
- 40:50Speaker 3: and that if the government is smart, they will take
- 40:52Speaker 3: this lesson and start applying it and sifting through who
- 40:56Speaker 3: actually is in the country from nations that we know
- 40:59Speaker 3: are spying on us and posing threats.
- 41:01Speaker 4: Yeah, well, it makes me think about the Chinese London
- 41:05Speaker 4: mega embassy we covered a few weeks ago. They wanted
- 41:08Speaker 4: to They want to build a ginormous embassy underneath London
- 41:13Speaker 4: with undisclosed basements and tunnels and all sorts of things.
- 41:17Speaker 7: And it's just like, guys, the time.
- 41:20Speaker 4: It's over, we are so clearly not in peacetime anymore.
- 41:24Speaker 4: We have to get our act together. No, exactly, absolutely well,
- 41:28Speaker 4: also in The Australian Tomorrow. Another headline is DC dash
- 41:31Speaker 4: causes confusion. Deputy Prime Minister Richard Miles was due to
- 41:35Speaker 4: sit down with Donald Trump's number two, his top diplomat
- 41:39Speaker 4: and the US president's policy grew on Tuesday early Wednesday
- 41:43Speaker 4: Australian Eastern Standard time to discuss issues such as the
- 41:46Speaker 4: future of ORCUS. No meeting had been locked in between
- 41:50Speaker 4: the Defense Minister and his US counterpart, Pete Hegseth as
- 41:53Speaker 4: of Tuesday evening, despite this being the public reason for
- 41:57Speaker 4: mister Miles's decision to rush to Washington. I mean, how
- 42:02Speaker 4: much more embarrassing can we become as a huntry.
- 42:06Speaker 5: Yeah, so, not only can our Prime minister not get
- 42:09Speaker 5: a meeting with Donald Trump, but now our Defense minister
- 42:13Speaker 5: is also struggling to get a meeting with his American counterpart.
- 42:17Speaker 5: And we wonder why the orchestrale is up in the air,
- 42:19Speaker 5: and we wonder why our relationship with the United States
- 42:22Speaker 5: is going backwards for the first time.
- 42:25Speaker 2: Well, hello, labor is the problem here?
- 42:28Speaker 1: Yeah? Absolutely.
- 42:29Speaker 3: Let's go to the front page of Tomorrow's Daily Telegraph.
- 42:32Speaker 3: They of course have got the main story there. Iran's
- 42:35Speaker 3: hired hate.
- 42:36Speaker 1: As you would expect.
- 42:37Speaker 3: But the other story on the front page that got
- 42:39Speaker 3: our attention concerns the town of Parks population twelve thousand,
- 42:44Speaker 3: where the maternity ward, state of the art hospital wing
- 42:47Speaker 3: has set unused for six years because of a shortage
- 42:51Speaker 3: of country doctors. Now, this maternity ward costs seventy three
- 42:56Speaker 3: million dollars to build. It's as good as any maternity
- 42:59Speaker 3: ward in the city of Sydney. But three years after
- 43:03Speaker 3: it was opened it was closed because they just didn't
- 43:06Speaker 3: have any staff. And it's sat there collecting dust for
- 43:09Speaker 3: the past six years. So the ladies of Parks who
- 43:13Speaker 3: are pregnant can't use a state of the art facility
- 43:16Speaker 3: right in their own neighborhood. They've got to drive forty
- 43:19Speaker 3: fifty kilometers to Forbes to get maternity services. Something that
- 43:24Speaker 3: government should sort out them quickly. It's ridiculous to have
- 43:27Speaker 3: this just sitting there.
- 43:28Speaker 7: Mothball, yeah, one hundred percent.
- 43:29Speaker 4: I mean, this is such an issue across so much
- 43:32Speaker 4: of regional Australia though, just crippling doctors, shortages essential workers.
- 43:37Speaker 7: It's so hard.
- 43:37Speaker 4: We need better incentives to get people out into the regions, clearly,
- 43:41Speaker 4: and to think we've already spent seventy three million dollars
- 43:44Speaker 4: of tax payer money building this thing, just for it
- 43:47Speaker 4: to sit empty for more than half a decade.
- 43:50Speaker 5: In what a way, But it also represents a bigger
- 43:52Speaker 5: problem because you know a lot of people in the regions,
- 43:55Speaker 5: they can't access doctors, or there's a queue to even
- 43:57Speaker 5: see a doctor or a psychologist. They literally to travel
- 44:00Speaker 5: hours and hours. This has always been a problem, but
- 44:03Speaker 5: it's actually been.
- 44:03Speaker 2: Particular a problem for parks. This is where the front
- 44:06Speaker 2: cover is.
- 44:06Speaker 5: It's been a very I've interviewed doctors out that way
- 44:09Speaker 5: before and they literally say they are so stretched to
- 44:12Speaker 5: the limit.
- 44:12Speaker 2: There is a complete crisis.
- 44:13Speaker 5: But you've got to feel for these mothers who are
- 44:16Speaker 5: due any time now and having to sit in a
- 44:18Speaker 5: car for an hour or two just to deliver a baby.
- 44:21Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 44:21Speaker 3: Absolutely, all right, let's go to the front page of
- 44:23Speaker 3: who's got the Northern Territory News?
- 44:25Speaker 1: Is that you, Denika, None of us do.
- 44:27Speaker 5: But I'll take the Northern Territory News front to cover
- 44:30Speaker 5: their freight argie bargie. There are fears decades of road
- 44:34Speaker 5: infrastructure neglect could lead to food shortages in a remote
- 44:37Speaker 5: community and a mass exodus of residents when a vital
- 44:40Speaker 5: barge service ceases operations. So basically, what's happening up in
- 44:45Speaker 5: the Northern Territory Now, there's a lot of uncertainty about
- 44:48Speaker 5: this barge which has been providing a lot of food,
- 44:52Speaker 5: a lot of I guess security to a.
- 44:54Speaker 2: Local remote community up there.
- 44:55Speaker 5: This barge is about to cease operation, so certainly concerning.
- 45:00Speaker 1: You go very well, donenderneath it.
- 45:01Speaker 2: There you go, Thank you.
- 45:03Speaker 1: We're going to take a break.
- 45:04Speaker 3: By the way, quick shout out to our Sky News colleague,
- 45:07Speaker 3: host of the US Report, James Morrow, who messaged us
- 45:10Speaker 3: during the program to say he's at home watching the
- 45:12Speaker 3: Late Debate with his dog Poppy, who we hope to
- 45:15Speaker 3: have a photograph of after this commercial break as well,
- 45:18Speaker 3: will show you the most epic tennis meltdown you have
- 45:22Speaker 3: ever seen. All of that, plus hopefully James Morrow's dog
- 45:25Speaker 3: in just a moment, welcome back to the Late Debate
- 45:30Speaker 3: where it's not just humans but dogs that are watching
- 45:32Speaker 3: as well. Our Sky News colleague, James Morrow, I think,
- 45:35Speaker 3: sent in a photo of his dog Poppy the Late Debate,
- 45:40Speaker 3: so that's quite a cute.
- 45:42Speaker 5: I don't think Poppy was very happy with your commentary
- 45:44Speaker 5: tonight on dogs.
- 45:45Speaker 1: No, I just said Poppy shouldn't be in the Morrow bed.
- 45:47Speaker 3: Poppy is to be in the Morrow lounge room watching
- 45:50Speaker 3: the Late I feel like Poppy.
- 45:51Speaker 5: Would bark at you if Poppy haven't got the opportunity
- 45:54Speaker 5: to be in your presence after your shocking comments on dogs.
- 45:57Speaker 3: While we're talking about dogs, one of our producers got
- 45:59Speaker 3: so excited she insisted we show a photo of her dog.
- 46:02Speaker 3: So there's Winnie, one of our producers dogs.
- 46:05Speaker 10: There you go.
- 46:06Speaker 7: That's definitely a dog that sleeps in a bed.
- 46:08Speaker 5: I feel like our wonderful producer Montana she she definitely would.
- 46:12Speaker 2: I feel like that's a that's a bed dog.
- 46:15Speaker 4: He's very comfortable being surrounded by wall, blank busy blanket,
- 46:21Speaker 4: as he should be, as is his right as a dog.
- 46:24Speaker 2: I could say, let's move on with the program.
- 46:26Speaker 1: Talk to me about Abby Chatfield have too well.
- 46:30Speaker 4: Occasionally we like to go into Aby Chatfield's social media
- 46:33Speaker 4: just to rage watch whatever she's ranting about that day,
- 46:36Speaker 4: although I can't because she's actually blocked me on Yes,
- 46:39Speaker 4: but I still get sent everything, which is a lot
- 46:42Speaker 4: of fun.
- 46:42Speaker 8: Here.
- 46:43Speaker 4: She was recently talking about how she hasn't know if
- 46:46Speaker 4: she's gonna be able to have kids because the human
- 46:49Speaker 4: species might be going extinct because it's the climate crisis.
- 46:54Speaker 13: I want to have a kid. I just feel like
- 46:58Speaker 13: the I want to cry. I feel like the opportunity
- 47:01Speaker 13: and the choice has been taken away from me. I
- 47:03Speaker 13: don't want to be worrying about if there's water or
- 47:07Speaker 13: food for my child. And now I'm watching my child
- 47:10Speaker 13: start to death. Oh now I'm watching. Now I'm having
- 47:13Speaker 13: to go and forage. I don't know how it happened,
- 47:18Speaker 13: but I know it's not going to be good.
- 47:20Speaker 4: I'm sort of concerned for her mental well being here
- 47:23Speaker 4: because she seems like genuinely convinced, or maybe it's just
- 47:27Speaker 4: an act for social media that she's going to watch
- 47:31Speaker 4: a kids start and they won't have water, and that
- 47:33Speaker 4: the choice and opportunity has been taken from her.
- 47:36Speaker 7: I mean, look, what planet is she living on?
- 47:38Speaker 5: No, look, I don't think this is the first time
- 47:39Speaker 5: she's made some sort of ludicrous compt First, ye, I
- 47:41Speaker 5: would say I'd take it as a badge of honor
- 47:42Speaker 5: that she's blocked it on social media. Fraid I'd be honored.
- 47:44Speaker 5: What an absolute honor?
- 47:46Speaker 2: Yeah again, exactly exactly.
- 47:48Speaker 5: But look, you know then don't have kids, Sorry, don't
- 47:52Speaker 5: don't if that's your If that's your number one concern,
- 47:55Speaker 5: I'm sure being a parent, James, you could attest to
- 47:57Speaker 5: this is a lot more difficult than that.
- 47:59Speaker 1: So yeah, if you've met my kids, it's not difficult
- 48:01Speaker 1: at all. They are the most easy kids to parent. Ever.
- 48:04Speaker 3: Before we go, I'm going to show you the most
- 48:06Speaker 3: epic tennis meltdown ever. World number thirteen Daniel Medvedev was
- 48:11Speaker 3: playing in the US Open. He lost the game and
- 48:13Speaker 3: then he lost his temper.
- 48:16Speaker 1: The rackets are going now.
- 48:17Speaker 12: It's kind of joke that.
- 48:21Speaker 1: Ugly sees.
- 48:25Speaker 5: It.
- 48:25Speaker 1: Needs to be careful here now.
- 48:27Speaker 3: John McEnroe, of all people, said he needs to take
- 48:30Speaker 3: some time off. When John McEnroe says you need to
- 48:32Speaker 3: take time off because you are starting to lose that,
- 48:34Speaker 3: you know you have gone too far.
- 48:36Speaker 4: That was a bit of a mental breakdown right there.
- 48:39Speaker 4: Someone needs to check in on him. If I like
- 48:41Speaker 4: his wife, i'd be very concerned.
- 48:43Speaker 5: Yeah, what's the Sabrina Carpenter song manchild? There you go, Medvellev,
- 48:46Speaker 5: that's you take.
- 48:47Speaker 1: Some time off and do some pickleball or something.
- 48:50Speaker 3: Maybe that'll oh, well, that's all we've got time for tonight.
- 48:53Speaker 3: Stick around coming up is to read a pennety show
- 48:55Speaker 3: good Night,
