- 0:11Speaker 1: It's the good report.
- 0:15Speaker 2: Tonight. The pain for the Liberals is about to get
- 0:17Speaker 2: worse than nationals are about to smack them. Plus, Donald
- 0:21Speaker 2: Trump's former spokesman hits back at people blaming Trump for
- 0:24Speaker 2: the liberals wipeout, And Indonesia's president releases a tape of
- 0:28Speaker 2: Anthony Albanezi now buttering him up.
- 0:32Speaker 3: I have a request for you, Yes, go ahead, and
- 0:36Speaker 3: I want you?
- 0:38Speaker 4: Is that here?
- 0:39Speaker 2: Also tonight, Vladimir Putin gives a tour of his cold home.
- 0:42Speaker 2: It admits he wants to hit people. We know that already,
- 0:46Speaker 2: but first you I've had almost enough of the who's
- 0:51Speaker 2: the last, who's the leading horse race? Call, of this
- 0:54Speaker 2: debarkle of an election. Hey, the Liberals got smashed, So
- 0:59Speaker 2: let me deal with today's news. In just thirty seconds,
- 1:02Speaker 2: Green's leader and a band looks like losing his seat.
- 1:04Speaker 2: Teal Scoldmanique Ryan looks like just hanging on teals. MP zo'
- 1:09Speaker 2: daniels is losing her seat, and the Liberal stone of
- 1:12Speaker 2: a clue how to handle being thrashed? Is the new
- 1:14Speaker 2: leader going to be Treasury spokesman Angus Taylor When he
- 1:18Speaker 2: was the genius who decided to go to this selection
- 1:20Speaker 2: promising higher taxes than labor, or whether it be deputy
- 1:24Speaker 2: leader Susan Lee, who has he yet shown much leadership
- 1:28Speaker 2: or authority, but at least is a woman. There you go.
- 1:32Speaker 2: So excuse me if I think we've got better things
- 1:34Speaker 2: to talk about like this. We've re elected the Albanizi
- 1:40Speaker 2: government with a massive majority, but this country's big challengers
- 1:45Speaker 2: have not gone away, and labor in this election campaign
- 1:50Speaker 2: did not offer a single policy to fix them. It
- 1:53Speaker 2: just promised a blizzard of handouts, but not a plan
- 1:57Speaker 2: to pay for them, not a plan to actually make
- 1:59Speaker 2: this richer. So tonight I want to show you a
- 2:03Speaker 2: frightening contrast. Well, it might be an inspiring one for you.
- 2:09Speaker 2: It's something that I hope would make this labor government think, gee,
- 2:13Speaker 2: we better get our skates on, because our future is
- 2:17Speaker 2: not being made here. It's being made in China. Now,
- 2:22Speaker 2: a lot of even smart people think, oh, China, that's
- 2:26Speaker 2: just where cheap workers make cheap stuff for rich foreigners
- 2:30Speaker 2: like us. Now, one of those very smart ignoramuses is
- 2:35Speaker 2: US Vice President JD. Vance.
- 2:37Speaker 4: Just the other day, we borrow money from Chinese peasants
- 2:42Speaker 4: to buy the things those Chinese peasants manufacture.
- 2:47Speaker 2: Peasants. The Chinese are just peasants. Here is one peasant
- 2:54Speaker 2: in China paying for a drink without having cash or
- 2:57Speaker 2: even a phone, just a hand.
- 3:02Speaker 5: It just shows how I had channas in terms of technology.
- 3:07Speaker 2: Now even genuinely smart guys, genuinely smart John Kadogan is
- 3:11Speaker 2: the car from the Car Expert website. Check it out
- 3:14Speaker 2: for the China was more like, you know, a cheap
- 3:17Speaker 2: labor kind of place, nothing to make Australians feel ashamed of.
- 3:22Speaker 2: You know that we're backwards instead, until of course, he
- 3:27Speaker 2: visited one of China's massive new solar panel factories.
- 3:32Speaker 6: I had a generally cheap, nasty impression of Chinese manufacturing
- 3:37Speaker 6: until recently when I actually went there to check it out.
- 3:41Speaker 6: The Rizin production base in Nanhai, China. This massive factory
- 3:46Speaker 6: beneath this solar array is roughly one million square meters,
- 3:51Speaker 6: which is around about one hundred football fields. It has
- 3:55Speaker 6: roughly fifteen thousand employees, of which more than one thousand
- 4:00Speaker 6: and professional propeller heads work actively in R and D.
- 4:05Speaker 2: Now there's a little tip I'll get back to later.
- 4:08Speaker 2: This one company hires one thousand engineers and scientists just
- 4:12Speaker 2: in research and development. Now this factory is full of robots.
- 4:18Speaker 2: There's not many jobs in the green industry, and it's
- 4:21Speaker 2: extremely high tech, producing solar cells the diameter of a
- 4:25Speaker 2: hair and then assembling them into solar panels, and so
- 4:29Speaker 2: many of them. This single Chinese factory in one year
- 4:33Speaker 2: produces the equivalent of a third of all the solar
- 4:36Speaker 2: panels Australia has deployed. And what really should seam us
- 4:41Speaker 2: is that an advanced solar cell called perk peerc was
- 4:46Speaker 2: first developed in Australia by Professor Martin Green at the
- 4:50Speaker 2: University of New South Wales, but was put into production
- 4:54Speaker 2: in China, especially by some of his Chinese students. And
- 4:58Speaker 2: China now produces almost eighty percent of all the solar
- 5:02Speaker 2: panels in the world, and that perk cell developed here
- 5:06Speaker 2: is using ninety percent of them. But what do we
- 5:09Speaker 2: get out of it now? Yes, Anthony Albanezi has said
- 5:14Speaker 2: he'll now spend one billion dollars of your money on
- 5:17Speaker 2: a scheme to make solar panels here.
- 5:20Speaker 4: The Hunter Valley has been the powerhouse for New South
- 5:25Speaker 4: Wales for the last century in energy and export market
- 5:29Speaker 4: will continue to be that for centuries to come. There's
- 5:31Speaker 4: no doubt about that.
- 5:32Speaker 7: The people standing behind us will never be out of
- 5:36Speaker 7: work because what they're doing is training for the jobs
- 5:40Speaker 7: of today and the future.
- 5:45Speaker 2: That's money that's going down the drain. It's too little
- 5:48Speaker 2: and far too late. The solar ship long sailed, and
- 5:53Speaker 2: the problem is much bigger. Why does Australia not have
- 5:58Speaker 2: one world famous in industrial brand. We can think of things,
- 6:02Speaker 2: we can't develop them. Sweden gave us Volvo Haika as well,
- 6:07Speaker 2: the Netherlands gave us Phillips, Japan, Sony, Toyota, so many more,
- 6:12Speaker 2: Germany Volkswagen, Siemens, South Korea, Samsung, Kia. But Australia, what
- 6:18Speaker 2: do we make? And you just look at our top
- 6:21Speaker 2: three exports to China, iron or gas and other minerals.
- 6:24Speaker 2: We give them the minerals and the energy to transform
- 6:28Speaker 2: them and make power to actually just then go make
- 6:30Speaker 2: the stuff for us because we can't now in China,
- 6:35Speaker 2: these so called peasants have used this stuff to also
- 6:38Speaker 2: build a lot for themselves. For instance, one of their
- 6:40Speaker 2: highest and longest suspension bridges in the world. And what's more,
- 6:43Speaker 2: it built that one ahead of time, and almost all
- 6:45Speaker 2: Australia's big green schemes in particular blow their own deadlines
- 6:49Speaker 2: or budgets. China also builds half the world's commercial ships.
- 6:54Speaker 2: Now it's building the fastest growing navy. It's also now
- 6:57Speaker 2: our third biggest supplier of kars are no longer just
- 7:01Speaker 2: cheap ones either. Just this week at the Shanghai Car Show,
- 7:06Speaker 2: car maker BYD was showing off an electric car so
- 7:10Speaker 2: advanced that it could go from not to one hundred
- 7:12Speaker 2: millimeters an hour in just two seconds and leap over
- 7:16Speaker 2: potholes and even road sparks and don't know where we
- 7:18Speaker 2: want that, all with computers. Just unbelievable technology. And again,
- 7:25Speaker 2: this company employs our one hundred and ten thousand engineers.
- 7:31Speaker 2: We couldn't provide a fraction of that if we had
- 7:34Speaker 2: to all up. China now has nearly nine eighteen million,
- 7:38Speaker 2: eighteen million engineers, including half the engineers working around the
- 7:43Speaker 2: world in artificial intelligence. Engineers build a future, and China boats.
- 7:49Speaker 2: Its engineers are better than Australia's and crack the problem
- 7:52Speaker 2: house couldn't handle an extracting nickel and so doing that
- 7:57Speaker 2: it's helped Indonesia, with Chinese investments to become the world's
- 8:01Speaker 2: biggest supplier of nickel and wiped out our own nickel industry.
- 8:07Speaker 2: Now what's even more alarming, of course, is that China's
- 8:10Speaker 2: so called peasants there are also the exclusive suppliers now
- 8:13Speaker 2: of heavy rare earths, which are vital for making things
- 8:16Speaker 2: like magnets that are essential for radar targeting and electronic systems.
- 8:21Speaker 2: And that's the catch. Every one of Americas and Australia's
- 8:25Speaker 2: F thirty five strike fighters need about four hundred and
- 8:29Speaker 2: twenty kilograms of those particular rare earths from China. Is
- 8:35Speaker 2: that allowed enough warning for you? But to the engineers,
- 8:40Speaker 2: this contrast really gets me. As far as I can tell,
- 8:43Speaker 2: no Australian companies even one thousand people in research and development,
- 8:47Speaker 2: and we are desperately short of engineers, especially to make
- 8:50Speaker 2: our future. And here we come to an economic and
- 8:53Speaker 2: political issue and a cultural one that the Albenizi government
- 8:57Speaker 2: really needs to throw away outside illogical blinkers and fix.
- 9:03Speaker 2: Just for a start, we've got so much red tape,
- 9:07Speaker 2: so much green tape, and so many taxes that is
- 9:10Speaker 2: to struggle even getting produce off the ground. I was
- 9:14Speaker 2: living in Hong Kong, the head of John Holland told
- 9:17Speaker 2: me then some years ago, I said, what advice would
- 9:21Speaker 2: you give to an Australian engineer? Said leave the country.
- 9:24Speaker 2: But on top of that we lack engineers. Science and
- 9:29Speaker 2: technology just seems to be too brain hurty for many
- 9:32Speaker 2: Australian kids, and just last year the Australian Academy of
- 9:36Speaker 2: Technological Sciences and Engineering complained that only half our kids
- 9:40Speaker 2: in year ten met the standard for science literacy. And
- 9:44Speaker 2: when the bright ones do go to university too often,
- 9:47Speaker 2: it seems to be a dumbing down, an ideological dumbing down.
- 9:50Speaker 2: Too much Politics Minus University even tried to deduct Marx
- 9:54Speaker 2: from an engineering student for not including an acknowledgment of
- 9:58Speaker 2: country and their assignment. Melbourne University hired fake Aboriginally Bruce
- 10:02Speaker 2: Pasco're teaching a fake scientific discipline that he just made up,
- 10:07Speaker 2: Aboriginal agriculture, and the University of Technology Sydney has even
- 10:12Speaker 2: hired as a science communicator Naomi koe Belich, a scientist
- 10:16Speaker 2: calling herself a biracial, bisexual, bimbo biologist. She actually got
- 10:21Speaker 2: a government grant for a drag show to supposedly teach
- 10:25Speaker 2: science and preach about global warming.
- 10:29Speaker 7: Why not sign up for enjoying drag, enjoying art, enjoying
- 10:33Speaker 7: jokes and humor, and stay engaged in the climate conversation
- 10:37Speaker 7: at the same time.
- 10:39Speaker 2: Now, these are not signs of a country serious about
- 10:43Speaker 2: science and engineering building the future. You think China funds
- 10:47Speaker 2: that kind of nonsense. I mean, China is so pro
- 10:50Speaker 2: science and so pro engineering that it's of course got
- 10:52Speaker 2: nuclear power. Our government is so superstitious it bans it.
- 10:58Speaker 2: So it's no surprise at less than nine percent of
- 11:00Speaker 2: Australian university graduates have an engineering qualification. That's about the
- 11:04Speaker 2: sixth lowest rate in the OECD. And it's also bad
- 11:09Speaker 2: that we have to import now most of our engineers,
- 11:11Speaker 2: sixty percent of our engineers were born overseas. We import
- 11:17Speaker 2: our engineers, but we really need to import a culture
- 11:22Speaker 2: of engineering our future, and that is the huge challenge
- 11:27Speaker 2: now for the Albanezi government. Actually, it's not quite right
- 11:35Speaker 2: to say that the vote count today was boring. I
- 11:37Speaker 2: mean I did take forgive me, I did take some
- 11:40Speaker 2: guilty pleasure seeing a friend of mine, former Liberal MP
- 11:45Speaker 2: Tim Wilson, overtake the TLMP for his former Melbourne seed
- 11:49Speaker 2: of Goldstein. So Daniel who parted as a winner on
- 11:52Speaker 2: Saturday and declared victory before the postal votes were actually counted.
- 11:56Speaker 2: Votes that count swung so hard to Wilson that is
- 11:59Speaker 2: in the ascertain winner. So enjoy Daniels Hubris.
- 12:03Speaker 7: It's been a hard campaignting s in Goldstein, Hope Winds.
- 12:12Speaker 8: The Liberal Party threw everything out us guys, everything, and
- 12:23Speaker 8: we are standing here to celebrate.
- 12:31Speaker 2: But it's a small pleasure for a many Conservatives because
- 12:34Speaker 2: the Liberals really are a total mess. Angus Taylor was
- 12:37Speaker 2: the shadow Treasure would normally expect to take over as
- 12:39Speaker 2: leader after petered up and lost his seat, but the
- 12:41Speaker 2: anger against him. Taylor is blaming for the disastrous promise
- 12:46Speaker 2: to ban public servants working from home, but he claims
- 12:49Speaker 2: that was in his call. That another disaster sure was
- 12:52Speaker 2: the liberals crazy decision not to offer bigger tax cuts
- 12:57Speaker 2: than labor. That alone means that Taylor, if he does
- 13:03Speaker 2: become leader, it will be a punching bag for labor.
- 13:06Speaker 2: But does the other main leadership contender, Susan Lay, have
- 13:09Speaker 2: the authority and wait to lead. I mean, we need
- 13:13Speaker 2: to see those characteristics come out. But at least is
- 13:17Speaker 2: a woman, I guess but there's today more revelations about
- 13:23Speaker 2: that policy disaster that helped to cause this liberal catastrophe.
- 13:27Speaker 2: Joining me is Claire Armstrong, National political editor of the
- 13:30Speaker 2: Herald Sun and the Daily Telegraph. Claire, thank you so
- 13:32Speaker 2: much for your time. Now. I hear some of the
- 13:35Speaker 2: liberal left say this disaster approves done, went too far
- 13:37Speaker 2: for the right and this is what comes and listening
- 13:40Speaker 2: to sky News. But what I am seeing is that
- 13:43Speaker 2: this had nothing to do with ideology and almost everything
- 13:45Speaker 2: to do with another eye in competence. Take us through
- 13:49Speaker 2: the worst examples that you have today uncovered.
- 13:55Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 13:56Speaker 9: Look, I spent quite a bit of the last five
- 13:58Speaker 9: weeks on the road, almost half of it on Peter
- 14:01Speaker 9: Dutton's campaign, and sort of started to detect even then
- 14:05Speaker 9: that things weren't as well oiled of a machine as
- 14:08Speaker 9: you would expect when a party's had three years to
- 14:11Speaker 9: prepare for an election. And what sort of come to
- 14:14Speaker 9: light in the last few days is it wasn't just
- 14:17Speaker 9: at the very end that messaging was a problem, but
- 14:19Speaker 9: at the very beginning the development of policies was really
- 14:24Speaker 9: late and rushed. For example, it was only decided a
- 14:28Speaker 9: few hours before Peter Dutton actually announced his plan for
- 14:32Speaker 9: a gas reserve on the East Coast in the budget
- 14:35Speaker 9: reply just before the election was called, only decided that
- 14:37Speaker 9: he would put that in the speech quite late, so
- 14:41Speaker 9: much so that it left his senior minister or shadow
- 14:44Speaker 9: ministers scrambling to tell the gas companies that it was coming.
- 14:48Speaker 9: They were hanging up on Susan McDonald, who was the
- 14:51Speaker 9: Resources spokeswoman. They were so furious at sort of being
- 14:54Speaker 9: let in on this so late. It was changing as
- 14:58Speaker 9: they were announcing it effectively. And not only that, but
- 15:01Speaker 9: the modeling that Peter Dutton then got hammered on for
- 15:04Speaker 9: about twelve days to produce during the election, well the
- 15:08Speaker 9: final version of it. Some in HQ in the Liberals
- 15:12Speaker 9: weren't able to access or understand what was going on
- 15:15Speaker 9: with it because the people behind that modeling, Frontier Economics,
- 15:20Speaker 9: one of them was overseas and turned out to be
- 15:22Speaker 9: uncontactable for several days. So at every turn, just in
- 15:26Speaker 9: that policy alone, you can see there's this cascading kind
- 15:30Speaker 9: of issue of organization policy development and clearly not a
- 15:35Speaker 9: very well staged out plan for why you would be
- 15:38Speaker 9: announcing that policy at that time and then how you
- 15:41Speaker 9: plan to sell it to the public. And that is
- 15:44Speaker 9: literally just one example.
- 15:49Speaker 2: I'm laughing, but I shouldn't because it's just a scandal.
- 15:52Speaker 2: I mean, so many people devoted so much of their
- 15:55Speaker 2: lives to a Liberal win, and this is what happens.
- 15:59Speaker 2: I mean, really now, Claire, people are blaming Angus Taylor,
- 16:03Speaker 2: saying that, you know, why should he now be leader
- 16:07Speaker 2: when he's party to this stuff. I mean, like that
- 16:10Speaker 2: decision to not match or better beat Labour's miserly tax
- 16:17Speaker 2: cuts and instead offer you know that cutting petrol exos
- 16:21Speaker 2: for one year, that seems to have been an impulse decision.
- 16:26Speaker 2: What was his role in this whole disaster?
- 16:30Speaker 9: Well, what was sort of learning now is that definitely
- 16:34Speaker 9: it was his decision to immediately not want to support
- 16:37Speaker 9: Labour's tax cuts sort of. They launched this argument the
- 16:40Speaker 9: Liberals that it was too little, too late, but then
- 16:43Speaker 9: the delay in actually coming up with their own version,
- 16:47Speaker 9: this temporary tax offset essentially allowed Labor to cast the
- 16:52Speaker 9: Liberals as being in favor of higher taxes. So in
- 16:55Speaker 9: terms of that timing between saying you weren't going to
- 16:59Speaker 9: support Labor and then coming up with your own plan,
- 17:02Speaker 9: definitely Angus Taylor had a seat at that table. What's
- 17:05Speaker 9: a bit more complicated that we've learning now, And I've
- 17:09Speaker 9: had some sources tell me that essentially Angus Taylor was
- 17:13Speaker 9: in favor of doing something more ambitious, more along the
- 17:15Speaker 9: lines of indexing tax rates for income earners. But essentially
- 17:21Speaker 9: it was actually mister Darton and the people around him
- 17:24Speaker 9: that got cold feet there, and ultimately that idea was
- 17:27Speaker 9: scrapped within forty eight hours of the Liberal launch and
- 17:30Speaker 9: the idea of a temporary offset came into the play.
- 17:33Speaker 9: But you know, that's just another example where they clearly
- 17:36Speaker 9: wasn't the staging and the thinking through of policy development.
- 17:40Speaker 9: You kind of have to wonder what was going on
- 17:41Speaker 9: for three years?
- 17:44Speaker 2: Clear as you say they had three years, and it's
- 17:47Speaker 2: not a surprise the selection was held now there was
- 17:49Speaker 2: only one more week it could have been held before
- 17:52Speaker 2: that was it? I mean to act like it came
- 17:55Speaker 2: out of the blue. It's stunning, good Heavens policy. But
- 17:58Speaker 2: from what you just said there, who's supposed to blame
- 18:03Speaker 2: Is it Dutton himself? Was he a control freak that
- 18:05Speaker 2: just simply got it wrong.
- 18:08Speaker 9: I don't think it's right to cast Stutton as a
- 18:11Speaker 9: control freak exactly it's pretty clear that he ran a
- 18:15Speaker 9: very tight ship. He had a very loyal, small team
- 18:18Speaker 9: around him that he implicitly trusted. And my kind of
- 18:22Speaker 9: broader view is that maybe that narrow focused and that
- 18:26Speaker 9: narrow inner circle. You know, if the group think is
- 18:29Speaker 9: off then and you've got no other external kind of
- 18:33Speaker 9: voices that you're listening to telling you that this is
- 18:35Speaker 9: a problem, then it's a bit of a collective failure there.
- 18:39Speaker 9: But ultimately, with Peter Dutton being the leader, and I
- 18:42Speaker 9: mean you have to say on Saturday night he did
- 18:44Speaker 9: own the disastrous result. But I think what I've seen
- 18:48Speaker 9: over the last three years is I've often heard shadow
- 18:52Speaker 9: cabinet ministers say that well they feel like they get
- 18:55Speaker 9: a fair hearing with Dutton, even if he then goes
- 18:57Speaker 9: his own way.
- 18:58Speaker 10: But my sort of thought there is, well.
- 19:01Speaker 9: If he's continually going against you and going his own way,
- 19:03Speaker 9: who is he listening to? It sounds like it's you know,
- 19:06Speaker 9: his chief of staff, his comms directed some of those
- 19:09Speaker 9: people in his inner circle and the party and in
- 19:11Speaker 9: the Parliament, and that maybe all of their read on
- 19:14Speaker 9: what the situation was was off. I mean, overall, I
- 19:18Speaker 9: would say this was an election that they felt they
- 19:20Speaker 9: could win by letting Labor lose, and unfortunately they didn't
- 19:24Speaker 9: factor in that Labor is quite a good campaigning machine
- 19:28Speaker 9: and they essentially just ran them down.
- 19:31Speaker 2: Oh look, what a ridiculous strategy though, just relying on
- 19:34Speaker 2: someone else to flop instead of grabbing it. Clear. Look,
- 19:39Speaker 2: what you've just described in your office is so different
- 19:42Speaker 2: to how Bob Hawk ran and did it really well.
- 19:45Speaker 2: He had professional grumps in his office, you know, Peter
- 19:48Speaker 2: Barron and Jeff Walsh and people like that, who were
- 19:51Speaker 2: just they didn't put up with any bull and if
- 19:54Speaker 2: they didn't like an idea, they'd say so. And he
- 19:57Speaker 2: had a healthy enough ego to be able to cope
- 19:59Speaker 2: with it. Just work brilliantly, Claire Armstrong, great story in
- 20:03Speaker 2: the papers today. Thank you so much for your time.
- 20:07Speaker 2: Just before we go to the break, we got an
- 20:08Speaker 2: insight today from Indonesia's President, former General Praboo Subianto. How
- 20:14Speaker 2: Anthony Albinizi does the promise the answer lots of sweet talk,
- 20:20Speaker 2: so be had for some reason decided to put our
- 20:23Speaker 2: Prime minister on speakerphone when he when Syband to ring
- 20:27Speaker 2: him up to say congratulations with the win and then
- 20:30Speaker 2: post their talk on social media.
- 20:33Speaker 3: I have a request for you, yes, go ahead, and
- 20:37Speaker 3: I want you and I want you?
- 20:39Speaker 2: Is that here?
- 20:40Speaker 11: Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead.
- 20:43Speaker 2: I want Indonesia to put my first visit.
- 20:47Speaker 9: Indonesia is an unbreakable one.
- 20:53Speaker 2: Who isn't a social media influencer these days, even a
- 20:56Speaker 2: president turning the very private into very public. But after
- 21:03Speaker 2: the break, who are these liberal left wingers blaming the
- 21:05Speaker 2: right and blame the sky News US for the liberals
- 21:10Speaker 2: disaster that Canavan after this? Now, to be fair to Anglis,
- 21:17Speaker 2: Tayory wants to be the new liberal leader. I have
- 21:20Speaker 2: a very good authority that he had other plans, more
- 21:23Speaker 2: ambitious tax reforms that he was hot to trot with,
- 21:27Speaker 2: but again overridden by the man at the top. So
- 21:31Speaker 2: that's unfortunate. Now some on the liberal parties left don't
- 21:36Speaker 2: yet understand what strife they are in now. They are
- 21:40Speaker 2: saying that this defeat shows the Liberals when too much
- 21:42Speaker 2: to the right and the party now should turn left.
- 21:47Speaker 2: And I've heard Green say the same and blame the
- 21:51Speaker 2: liberals for even talking too much on sky News like
- 21:53Speaker 2: it's our fault. They come on here, it's our fault.
- 21:55Speaker 2: Liberals will never talk to conservative media. Oh no, I
- 21:59Speaker 2: mean seriously, turbule stuff, not that any of them can
- 22:02Speaker 2: actually tell us what those terrible right wing policies of
- 22:06Speaker 2: Peter Dutton really were. His promise of higher taxes was
- 22:11Speaker 2: that one We suggested that his spendethon hiding this defense policy.
- 22:17Speaker 2: They caught this nonsense today from a Liberal Party vice
- 22:19Speaker 2: president also with the left, saying she wasn't sure if
- 22:22Speaker 2: the coalition should still keep arguing for nuclear power.
- 22:27Speaker 7: This is a technology question, and I would like to see,
- 22:30Speaker 7: you know, the climate denying ideology step out of the
- 22:34Speaker 7: place so that we can solve a technology question.
- 22:37Speaker 2: Climate denying, I mean, what exactly is anyone denying? As
- 22:42Speaker 2: far as I can tell, I'm rarely denying that the
- 22:45Speaker 2: renewable revolution of the Labor Party is working. That's what
- 22:50Speaker 2: we're denying. Look at Spain and Portugal for our future
- 22:53Speaker 2: that didn't seem too good. That's what we're denying. Trying
- 22:56Speaker 2: to det know that the liberals actually promised nuclear power plants,
- 22:59Speaker 2: by the way, precisely to cut emissions. They're not denying
- 23:05Speaker 2: global warming. But here's what these chances are ignoring the nationals.
- 23:09Speaker 2: The nationals, they're ignoring their Liberal partners in this coalition.
- 23:12Speaker 2: The Nationals are much more conservative than the Liberals and
- 23:16Speaker 2: they didn't lose any seats in the lower House. The Liberals, though,
- 23:20Speaker 2: will they end up losing maybe eight or even more,
- 23:23Speaker 2: and that means the Nationals will be left with a
- 23:26Speaker 2: higher proportion of coalition MPs and so should also get
- 23:32Speaker 2: more people than the coalition's shadow ministry to reflect that.
- 23:36Speaker 2: And how would that then work out if the Liberals
- 23:39Speaker 2: went left? And there's all these Nationals saying what joining
- 23:43Speaker 2: me is our Tuesday regular commentator National Senator Matt Canavan.
- 23:46Speaker 2: The former Resources missed that. Matt, There's so much there
- 23:50Speaker 2: to unpack, but let's start with this. Should the Nationals
- 23:53Speaker 2: get more positions in shadow cabinet?
- 23:57Speaker 1: Well, the Nationals party should get the number of for
- 24:00Speaker 1: members of the Cabinet of the ministry that they deserve
- 24:04Speaker 1: based on the proportion of the party room. That's how
- 24:06Speaker 1: it is always worked between the two parties. Now, because
- 24:10Speaker 1: of the unfortunate results of the weekend that that proportion
- 24:14Speaker 1: of the party room will grow to something like thirty
- 24:16Speaker 1: percent from twenty percent. And so the answer the question
- 24:21Speaker 1: is is yes, that's the way that it should work.
- 24:24Speaker 1: Of course, that is also a merit based situation. As
- 24:27Speaker 1: you say, National's Party has not lost any Lower House seats.
- 24:31Speaker 1: Looks like we unfortunately have lost our deputy leader in
- 24:34Speaker 1: this deput leader of the party the set of the
- 24:37Speaker 1: parent Davy. But you know that the Liberal Party had
- 24:40Speaker 1: a very unfortunate night and I don't Yeah, I don't
- 24:45Speaker 1: quite probably get onto it, but I don't quite understand
- 24:48Speaker 1: the logic of some in the Liberal Party who seem
- 24:51Speaker 1: to be thinking that the Nationals Party shouldn't deserve the
- 24:54Speaker 1: same amount of say, given we have actually been successful,
- 24:57Speaker 1: maybe there's something we could pass on.
- 25:00Speaker 2: Worth it's even an argument about it. I mean, seriously,
- 25:05Speaker 2: run through a few other quick ones. Should Nationals leader
- 25:08Speaker 2: David Little Proud quitts the Nationals leader when he was
- 25:10Speaker 2: part of the leadership of this disastrous campaign.
- 25:15Speaker 1: Well, look, despite the National Party's results, obviously we're very
- 25:18Speaker 1: disappointed we didn't do better. Given the economic environment, people
- 25:22Speaker 1: are in the cost of living crisis, so we don't
- 25:24Speaker 1: want to let mediocrity be a substitute of success. We
- 25:27Speaker 1: did not do well enough, as you know. And I'm
- 25:30Speaker 1: always interested in the policy, not the personnel. I don't
- 25:33Speaker 1: really care who leads the party. I do want to
- 25:35Speaker 1: see us though. And the ridiculous idea too, that we
- 25:38Speaker 1: can take this country to nein zeromissions by twenty fifty.
- 25:40Speaker 1: It is making everybody poorer. Were're probably going to lead
- 25:44Speaker 1: leave the next generation poorer than the current generation. Something's
- 25:47Speaker 1: never happened in Australian history. So look, that's what I'm
- 25:51Speaker 1: focused on. Any leader that can do that, can deliver
- 25:53Speaker 1: that and deliver a fighting chance for us. If we
- 25:56Speaker 1: don't fight, we don't have a chance. Right, Let's fight.
- 25:58Speaker 1: That's what I want to do. My biggest disappint the
- 26:00Speaker 1: past few years is I felt like we shirked from
- 26:03Speaker 1: a fight. We shirked from the battle, and ultimately I
- 26:06Speaker 1: think you get found out when that happens, and we
- 26:08Speaker 1: really really found out on Saturday night.
- 26:12Speaker 2: Well, you can't win an argument if you don't even
- 26:14Speaker 2: put it.
- 26:16Speaker 11: Now.
- 26:16Speaker 2: One speaking of exactly the point you've just made, one
- 26:19Speaker 2: liberal senator today, Maria Kovachik from Victoria. Of course, Victoria
- 26:26Speaker 2: says your nuclear policy has to go. Get this, not
- 26:31Speaker 2: because we don't actually need nuclear she didn't make that argument,
- 26:35Speaker 2: but because it's not popular. Matt, what a leader this
- 26:38Speaker 2: woman is evilecent.
- 26:40Speaker 10: It's my view that the nuclear power policy that we
- 26:43Speaker 10: have should go into The Australian public has spoke very
- 26:47Speaker 10: very clearly on Saturday and we need to listen to that.
- 26:51Speaker 1: Your response, Bet, just reject this idea that somehow politics
- 26:58Speaker 1: is like selling hands and what we need to do
- 27:01Speaker 1: is do some market research to work out what type
- 27:03Speaker 1: of colors pastel, what type of handles, type of products
- 27:06Speaker 1: that need to be made out of do they need
- 27:08Speaker 1: to be carbon neutral? And we work out with our
- 27:10Speaker 1: target audience and we change them in that regard. I mean,
- 27:14Speaker 1: politics is not like that. It's not like business. Politics
- 27:16Speaker 1: is about a mission, a purpose you've got to establish
- 27:19Speaker 1: in a spree de corps among your people. And the
- 27:23Speaker 1: biggest problem we've had, I think in the last here
- 27:25Speaker 1: or two is there's not been enough pride and passion
- 27:28Speaker 1: of being a Liberal or a National's member. I've felt
- 27:31Speaker 1: it from our own volunteers and members. I felt it
- 27:33Speaker 1: myself on the campaign and I was honestly counting the
- 27:36Speaker 1: hours down till it ends. And that's not the attitude
- 27:39Speaker 1: you need. You want to go in there with hunger.
- 27:40Speaker 1: You want to go into the football field wanting to
- 27:42Speaker 1: beat the other side and having a real desire to
- 27:45Speaker 1: win because you're going to do something better, not just
- 27:47Speaker 1: become a minister or get a higher pay packet. That's
- 27:51Speaker 1: not what this is about. And we need we need,
- 27:55Speaker 1: if nothing else, right now, nothing else. We've got some
- 27:58Speaker 1: time here to think about it. We need to kick
- 28:00Speaker 1: the pulses out. We've got everything wrong anyway, so why
- 28:02Speaker 1: are we even listening to them in.
- 28:04Speaker 2: The first place.
- 28:05Speaker 1: And secondly, the central question we need to ask ourselves
- 28:10Speaker 1: is what do we think we need to do to
- 28:11Speaker 1: save Australia. Not what we need to do to save
- 28:13Speaker 1: the party, not what we need to save our own seats,
- 28:16Speaker 1: Not what we need to do to save our prospects
- 28:19Speaker 1: of becoming a minister and having the word honorable in
- 28:21Speaker 1: front of us. What do we genuinely believe we need
- 28:23Speaker 1: to do to save this nation from a generation of
- 28:27Speaker 1: poverty and decline? Which is the path we're on right now?
- 28:30Speaker 1: That should be the only question we ask I'm not
- 28:32Speaker 1: that interested in worrying about what's popular right now. Let's
- 28:35Speaker 1: worry about what's right and then and then we can
- 28:38Speaker 1: work out what are the popular ways, What are the
- 28:40Speaker 1: best ways to argue for what is the right thing
- 28:43Speaker 1: for this country?
- 28:45Speaker 2: Well, I think too, when you're choosing a direction or
- 28:47Speaker 2: a leader, think where the country is going to be
- 28:49Speaker 2: in three years done and there will be three more
- 28:51Speaker 2: years of a renewables energy project that's a really falling
- 28:56Speaker 2: to bits boy. By then the public, I suspect, will
- 29:00Speaker 2: really be open to more open to an argument about
- 29:04Speaker 2: what power source will deliver the power that they need
- 29:06Speaker 2: at a price and reliability that they need to. Finally,
- 29:12Speaker 2: did the coalition go too far to the right that
- 29:14Speaker 2: some liberals are saying.
- 29:17Speaker 1: Look, I must have missed these right wing policies that
- 29:21Speaker 1: were announced. It was it was a bit of a
- 29:24Speaker 1: different campaign with all the public holidays. Maybe I missed
- 29:27Speaker 1: our decision to go to go tough on biological men
- 29:34Speaker 1: competing against women in sports following the UK ruling. I
- 29:37Speaker 1: don't think we did anything with that. I must have
- 29:39Speaker 1: missed the US jumping on the shocking blackout that occurred
- 29:43Speaker 1: in Spain and Portugal. We did nothing on that. We
- 29:48Speaker 1: maintained that zero missions by twenty fifty. I mean, I
- 29:51Speaker 1: think what's really important here those people who say we
- 29:53Speaker 1: need to go to the left, or we went too
- 29:54Speaker 1: far the rights and now we go to the left.
- 29:56Speaker 1: Stop with the jargon. I mean, nobody out there in
- 29:59Speaker 1: the real world really thinks like that. I mean, be specifics,
- 30:03Speaker 1: be specific, like tell me tell me yeah, like activists
- 30:06Speaker 1: do how people do. But the average swinging riter doesn't
- 30:09Speaker 1: think they're left or right. They just you know, they
- 30:10Speaker 1: want to know what you're going to do to make
- 30:12Speaker 1: the country better. So tell me be specific.
- 30:14Speaker 2: That's exactly what do you want?
- 30:16Speaker 1: What do you mean when you say need to go
- 30:17Speaker 1: to the left? Do we need to adopt a need
- 30:19Speaker 1: zero emissions by twenty forty because we already had it
- 30:21Speaker 1: by twenty fifty and that failed. That's failed twice now.
- 30:24Speaker 1: So if we're talking about policies that have failed politically,
- 30:26Speaker 1: that one has, Matt, what about do we.
- 30:28Speaker 2: Want to go ninety percent? They should name the policy.
- 30:31Speaker 2: What do you want? What should name that dread thing
- 30:33Speaker 2: will work? They should name that dreadful right wing policy
- 30:38Speaker 2: went to the election with I didn't know them, and
- 30:40Speaker 2: then also demonstrate why that policy costs them the votes,
- 30:44Speaker 2: because as far as I can see, sharing competence is
- 30:47Speaker 2: what done it. Matt Keneman, thank you so much d
- 30:49Speaker 2: for your time. After the break, Donald Trump's forms spokesman,
- 30:53Speaker 2: and why people are blaming who do blame Donald Trump
- 30:56Speaker 2: for the liberals defeat, are just making excuses for losers.
- 31:03Speaker 2: Now I should correct myself that liberal senator that showed
- 31:08Speaker 2: you saying, oh, we shouldn't go nuclear power because people
- 31:11Speaker 2: don't like it, never mind that we actually need it.
- 31:13Speaker 2: There is no alternative. She's actually from New South Wales,
- 31:18Speaker 2: which is an indictment on the New South Wales Liberal Party.
- 31:22Speaker 2: But honestly, the way the liberal left is metastasized there
- 31:28Speaker 2: is a real shocker. There's a lot of winging today
- 31:33Speaker 2: from our arts industry because big bad Donald Trump has
- 31:37Speaker 2: called time on a bit of a ripoff.
- 31:41Speaker 12: You know.
- 31:41Speaker 2: All First, the Orange Man kills the coalition at the
- 31:45Speaker 2: polls now is killing Australia's film industry. Trump yesterday said
- 31:48Speaker 2: films made by foreigners, including Australia, would now be hit
- 31:53Speaker 2: by a one hundred percent tariff.
- 31:56Speaker 13: Our film industry has been decimated by other countries taken
- 32:01Speaker 13: them out, and also by incompetence. Like in Los Angeles,
- 32:04Speaker 13: the governor is a grossly incompetent man. He's just allowed
- 32:07Speaker 13: it to be taken away from Hollywood. Hollywood doesn't do
- 32:11Speaker 13: very much of that business. They have the Nay sign
- 32:14Speaker 13: and everything's good, but they don't do very much.
- 32:19Speaker 2: Now it really is going to hurt us. I mean
- 32:21Speaker 2: you think of all the American films that we make,
- 32:24Speaker 2: you the Wolverine ones and some of the Mission Impossible,
- 32:26Speaker 2: so many. There's a few being filmed right now, and
- 32:31Speaker 2: our Screen Producers Association said, oh whoa, this is really unfair,
- 32:35Speaker 2: even unacceptable.
- 32:38Speaker 14: Australia is the fifth most desired destination for American film producers.
- 32:46Speaker 14: They love coming here and that's because we have good facilities,
- 32:51Speaker 14: good infrastructure, all of those sorts of things. So if
- 32:54Speaker 14: they couldn't come here and they had to produce their
- 32:57Speaker 14: films in Hollywood, the would go up, so the costs
- 33:01Speaker 14: of the films would go up, so the cost to
- 33:04Speaker 14: consumers would go up. Everyone's a loser. An unacceptable decision
- 33:09Speaker 14: by Trump. I understand he's talking to the industry in
- 33:12Speaker 14: the US today. Maybe they'll try to talk some sense
- 33:17Speaker 14: into him.
- 33:18Speaker 2: And that's Minister Tony Burke. If you tried to make
- 33:20Speaker 2: out like it was a moral issue. He's declared that
- 33:23Speaker 2: nobody should be under any doubt that we will be
- 33:26Speaker 2: standing up unequivocally for the rights of the Australian screen industry.
- 33:32Speaker 2: I mean rights rights. You know what rights is talking
- 33:36Speaker 2: about are right to your taxes and American jobs. I
- 33:40Speaker 2: mean our film industry and good luck to it. I mean,
- 33:42Speaker 2: you know, get subsidies from taxpayers like few other industries do.
- 33:47Speaker 2: And what's more, of this government and our state governments,
- 33:49Speaker 2: they also throw lots and lots of money in American
- 33:52Speaker 2: filmmakers to come make their films here. Instead, they get
- 33:55Speaker 2: all sorts of tax breaks, officers, grants, subsident facilities, the lot.
- 33:59Speaker 2: Just bring us your jobs. And Trump looks at that
- 34:02Speaker 2: and says, it's not fair. Australians are subsidizing the theft
- 34:07Speaker 2: of American jobs. And is right. I mean, sure, I'd
- 34:09Speaker 2: rather we have the jobs. But Trump has justice on
- 34:12Speaker 2: his side. So can we please drop this stuff about
- 34:15Speaker 2: the rights of the dream screen industry. It's simply using
- 34:20Speaker 2: This is simply a question of both sides, American US
- 34:22Speaker 2: using tax pays to prop up in industry that might
- 34:25Speaker 2: do all right on its own two feet. Joining me,
- 34:28Speaker 2: Shawn Spicer, Donald Trump's first White House spokesman, Sean Spice,
- 34:33Speaker 2: are good to see you because particularly I need to.
- 34:36Speaker 2: I need to talk about something that's been so big here,
- 34:39Speaker 2: and Donald Trump is being blamed for helping to cost
- 34:43Speaker 2: the Liberals this election. It's also blamed the courses, you know,
- 34:46Speaker 2: for costing Canada's Conservative Party their election last week, frightening
- 34:51Speaker 2: voters off the Conservatives. Anyone you know seeming pro Trump
- 34:59Speaker 2: is the knock on Trump? What do you think is
- 35:03Speaker 2: this Trump factor? Really?
- 35:07Speaker 3: It's interesting because when leaders win, he doesn't get the
- 35:11Speaker 3: credit for them winning, but when the Conservative Party in
- 35:15Speaker 3: certain countries loses, then it's completely his fault. Look, I
- 35:19Speaker 3: can't say that I was a close student of the
- 35:22Speaker 3: Australian elections there, but I have a hard time believing
- 35:25Speaker 3: that this many miles away, we were the hugest factor there.
- 35:29Speaker 12: I have a feeling that Australian voters, like Canadian voters.
- 35:33Speaker 3: Were much more concerned with issues that affect their everyday lives.
- 35:37Speaker 3: But I also think that the media, in its never
- 35:40Speaker 3: ending quest to make everything about Trump, is ready to
- 35:44Speaker 3: pin the blame on him for rainy days, days where
- 35:47Speaker 3: the sun doesn't come out, you know, whatever the negative
- 35:51Speaker 3: headline of the day is. Somehow the media will find
- 35:55Speaker 3: a way to make that Trump's problem.
- 35:59Speaker 2: Well, I got to tell you, Suan, you're correct that
- 36:01Speaker 2: a lot of the media did do that. And also
- 36:05Speaker 2: the Labor Party here which won the election, ran very
- 36:09Speaker 2: hard on Donald Trump being, you know, the guru behind
- 36:14Speaker 2: our Peter Dutton, the liberal leader, and in fact it
- 36:18Speaker 2: showed up in some polls as the biggest issue determining
- 36:23Speaker 2: who voters would vote again. So what's a huge factor.
- 36:26Speaker 2: Even if we think it shouldn't have been, it was.
- 36:29Speaker 2: I mean it's extraordinary. Do you think he is making
- 36:33Speaker 2: voters nervous about what conservatives really stand for?
- 36:38Speaker 12: No?
- 36:38Speaker 3: I mean, look, at the end of the day, Andrew,
- 36:39Speaker 3: I think if you are a like for example, I mean,
- 36:42Speaker 3: if you care about conservative values or issues or policies,
- 36:47Speaker 3: I have a hard time thinking that somehow you're going
- 36:49Speaker 3: to change your vote because of who the American leader is.
- 36:53Speaker 3: I do wonder in some cases about whether or not
- 36:58Speaker 3: I like to always say that McCay annex matter and election.
- 37:01Speaker 3: So if you're running a race and you are allowing
- 37:05Speaker 3: Donald Trump to be the number one factor in it,
- 37:07Speaker 3: it says a lot about your party one and secondly
- 37:11Speaker 3: the opposition party in this case the Liberals. There that's
- 37:15Speaker 3: the most I have to say is that they're not
- 37:16Speaker 3: talking about what issues or policies affect Australians on a
- 37:20Speaker 3: day to day basis, but are somehow trying to inject
- 37:23Speaker 3: the leader of the United States.
- 37:25Speaker 12: It doesn't say to me that they have much to run.
- 37:27Speaker 2: On well, in fact, that you spot on on both
- 37:32Speaker 2: fronts there, and when you look at Nigel Faraja's success
- 37:36Speaker 2: in the elections over there, the council elections and the
- 37:38Speaker 2: by elections very close to Trump, that tells you already
- 37:42Speaker 2: he defined himself. He was clearly nobody's patsy. Donald Trump
- 37:47Speaker 2: now says it's going to hit films made outside America
- 37:51Speaker 2: with a one hundred percent tariff, and that's obviously going
- 37:54Speaker 2: to hurt Australia's film industry because a lot of American
- 37:56Speaker 2: films are actually shot here. Wolverine, some Mission Impossible and
- 38:00Speaker 2: so on. Why has the president done this? Why does
- 38:02Speaker 2: Hollywood need saving?
- 38:06Speaker 12: It's not just Hollywood, I mean, it's about us jobs.
- 38:09Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think he cares about Hollywood and
- 38:12Speaker 3: some of their leftist you know, individuals that dominate that.
- 38:16Speaker 3: But this is about creating jobs in America. I mean,
- 38:18Speaker 3: the idea and over and over again. Look at what
- 38:21Speaker 3: he's done. And this is where sometimes people get so
- 38:24Speaker 3: exacerbated with the headline and not the underlying results of
- 38:28Speaker 3: what's happening. Right, So the White House put this policy
- 38:30Speaker 3: out the other day. I linked to it in my
- 38:32Speaker 3: social media. I put it in the show.
- 38:33Speaker 12: In the show, they have an entire website.
- 38:36Speaker 3: Now dedicated to all the companies that have onshore, that
- 38:39Speaker 3: are coming back, that are announcing that they're doing things.
- 38:42Speaker 3: And so what he's doing, frankly, is going after Hollywood
- 38:44Speaker 3: and say, you know what, if you guys want to
- 38:46Speaker 3: flee America to go make a US like movie. Right,
- 38:49Speaker 3: So when they go to Australia, where they go to
- 38:51Speaker 3: Ireland or wherever they're going, Canada and a lot of
- 38:54Speaker 3: cases they're making US based movies. They're just going there
- 38:58Speaker 3: because labor costs are cheaper, they're going to tax credits, etc.
- 39:01Speaker 3: So he's both shaming them and also creating a financial
- 39:05Speaker 3: incentive to say, great, you want to go do that,
- 39:07Speaker 3: you want to make a US like movie, but do
- 39:10Speaker 3: it somewhere else, then I'm going to hit you with
- 39:12Speaker 3: a tariff. But at the end of the day, what
- 39:13Speaker 3: the President's really done when everyone cuts through the clutter,
- 39:17Speaker 3: is bringing back jobs and manufacturing and investment into the
- 39:21Speaker 3: United States. And the results show it, Like I counted
- 39:24Speaker 3: on their website, close to about three trillion dollars of
- 39:28Speaker 3: investment of major corporations.
- 39:30Speaker 12: And that's what he's doing at the end of the day.
- 39:32Speaker 12: He's forcing these.
- 39:34Speaker 3: Industries, these companies to focus on job creation and investment
- 39:40Speaker 3: in America.
- 39:40Speaker 12: And it's working.
- 39:43Speaker 2: Well. And also side there's a finish issue. Anyone complaining that, oh,
- 39:47Speaker 2: Donald Trumk's putting tariffs on movies might here. I've got
- 39:50Speaker 2: to realize that they're just evens the field because you
- 39:53Speaker 2: have a look at all the tech subsasion credits and
- 39:56Speaker 2: oh my good, you know all the aid and government
- 39:59Speaker 2: funding it's actually pulled into these movies to get them
- 40:02Speaker 2: from America. Well, that is a form of tariff on
- 40:06Speaker 2: its own, exactly different.
- 40:08Speaker 3: Again, if you can get max credit to go, right,
- 40:11Speaker 3: So it's no one has a problem with the incentives
- 40:14Speaker 3: to come, But if there's an incentive to stay, that's
- 40:16Speaker 3: a problem. And it's the same thing with the overall
- 40:19Speaker 3: terrif issue in America. Why should we not ask for fairness?
- 40:24Speaker 3: These are our friends, These other countries. We are giving
- 40:26Speaker 3: you market access to the greatest market in the world,
- 40:29Speaker 3: all of our consumers. And yet when we look around,
- 40:32Speaker 3: look backwards to so many of our close friends, they'll say, great,
- 40:36Speaker 3: you want to enter our market to thirty percent tariff,
- 40:38Speaker 3: of forty percent terriff in the case of India, one
- 40:40Speaker 3: hundred percent terriff.
- 40:42Speaker 12: I don't understand why.
- 40:43Speaker 3: Anyone thinks this is anything but a lack of fairness
- 40:47Speaker 3: that currently exists. I think that it's amazing to me
- 40:49Speaker 3: to see Democrats in America fight Donald Trump on this policy.
- 40:53Speaker 12: This is one politically where I would assume they'd be well.
- 40:56Speaker 12: I don't know that they are smart enough, but I
- 40:58Speaker 12: think at least politically good enough to get behind Trump.
- 41:02Speaker 3: This is the smart play to ask for a very
- 41:05Speaker 3: least fairness when it comes to our trading partners and
- 41:08Speaker 3: our supposed friends.
- 41:11Speaker 2: Sean Spicicer, thank you so much, indeed for your time.
- 41:14Speaker 2: Give that Andrew. After the break, Vladimir Putin gives a
- 41:19Speaker 2: revealing tour of his home, or at least his apartner
- 41:21Speaker 2: in the Kremlin, admits he has to fight the constant
- 41:25Speaker 2: urge to hit people. I don't think he's fighting very
- 41:29Speaker 2: hard plus one of the luckiest non citizens in Australia.
- 41:32Speaker 2: The panel after this, Russian President Vladimir Putin has for
- 41:40Speaker 2: some reason given journalists a tour of his apartment in
- 41:43Speaker 2: the Kremlin. It turns out that this war criminal lives
- 41:47Speaker 2: in a rather charmless and cold place. Who would have guessed,
- 41:50Speaker 2: with an ugly white piano that he doesn't play, and
- 41:53Speaker 2: a fairly stark kitchen and even his private chapel where
- 41:58Speaker 2: I assume he begs forgiveness every night for invading Ukraine
- 42:01Speaker 2: and deliberately murdering civilians. He did admit he has urges
- 42:06Speaker 2: to lash out, which you called crony. Always wanted to
- 42:26Speaker 2: hit people for what they say. Well, that's what you
- 42:29Speaker 2: expect from a dictator and it's not found in that urge.
- 42:32Speaker 2: Very well, you asked the Ukrainians joining me is the panel.
- 42:35Speaker 2: Will Kingston, hosts of Fire at Will, the podcast from
- 42:38Speaker 2: The Spectator on politician culture, and Scarnew's host a Niko
- 42:41Speaker 2: di Giorgio now with her own show here every Friday
- 42:45Speaker 2: at five pm. Will, what did that tell you about
- 42:49Speaker 2: putting that little insight there?
- 42:52Speaker 5: Well, the big scoop and Andrew, was that apparently he
- 42:54Speaker 5: has a four hundred dollars Australian made blender in his kitchen.
- 42:58Speaker 5: I'm a big concern that we're providing the essential vitamins
- 43:02Speaker 5: and nutrients to a dictator, but I guess that's globalization
- 43:06Speaker 5: for you. Look in terms of the video itself, not much.
- 43:09Speaker 5: It was propaganda. With Putin, you never know what is
- 43:11Speaker 5: reality and what is fiction. But why he decided to
- 43:15Speaker 5: do the video I think is very interesting, and I
- 43:16Speaker 5: think that reveals a couple of things. I think it
- 43:19Speaker 5: reveals a that he cares deeply about his legacy. This
- 43:23Speaker 5: was more legacy building. He wants to be remembered alongside
- 43:26Speaker 5: Peter the Great as one of the great men of
- 43:28Speaker 5: Russian history. But also, even though he is a dictator,
- 43:31Speaker 5: he needs to maintain the support of the Russian public.
- 43:34Speaker 5: So I guess, in a very slightly well odd way,
- 43:37Speaker 5: this was an attempt to humanize him. It was an
- 43:38Speaker 5: attempt to show that he's still working hard for Russia.
- 43:41Speaker 5: I think at one point he said he works till
- 43:43Speaker 5: one point thirty every night. So it goes to show
- 43:46Speaker 5: even with these dictators in these brutal regimes, they need
- 43:49Speaker 5: to keep the control of the support of the public
- 43:52Speaker 5: in order to maintain control.
- 43:55Speaker 2: I even wonder Danika whether he lives there, because there
- 43:58Speaker 2: was absolutely nothing personal about it. No human touch, certainly
- 44:02Speaker 2: not a woman's touch there that I could detect. It
- 44:05Speaker 2: was like a you know, a motel room for a
- 44:09Speaker 2: single boke.
- 44:11Speaker 7: Well, I mean, let's be realistic, which woman would want
- 44:14Speaker 7: to hang out with Vladimir Putin? I mean, we can't
- 44:16Speaker 7: deny that. I just when I watched that Andrew, I
- 44:19Speaker 7: just thought he looks like a loner. He's clearly a narcissist.
- 44:22Speaker 7: Not that you needed to sit down interview to tell
- 44:24Speaker 7: him that, but between the piano that never gets used,
- 44:27Speaker 7: the luxury blender, and the gym, I actually tend to agree.
- 44:31Speaker 7: I think that they were trying to portray him as
- 44:33Speaker 7: this man of.
- 44:34Speaker 12: The people, that he's a good man and he has
- 44:37Speaker 12: some qualities. But the apartment looked cold, it looked white,
- 44:40Speaker 12: it looked stony.
- 44:41Speaker 7: It just looked really awful, to be honest, and really,
- 44:45Speaker 7: it's just another vanity project for Vladimir Putin. Meanwhile, you've
- 44:49Speaker 7: got innocent lives being slaughtered on during his ongoing war
- 44:53Speaker 7: in Ukraine. It was just another narcissistic project from this dictator.
- 45:00Speaker 2: Will the election. There was so much to take out
- 45:03Speaker 2: from that. One comes at the consolation for Conservatives is
- 45:06Speaker 2: that it looks like Greens lead out in Band could
- 45:08Speaker 2: lose his seat a four percent swing against him on
- 45:11Speaker 2: primary votes. Screen supporter Abby Chatfield, she's hysterical.
- 45:15Speaker 11: Have a look if Adam Bant loses this. I didn't
- 45:21Speaker 11: expect the highest worn off.
- 45:26Speaker 2: Guys, the highest one off.
- 45:27Speaker 5: The joy's worn off.
- 45:31Speaker 12: No I want to crate a sadness cool.
- 45:34Speaker 2: Are you crying a tear or cracking a champagne will?
- 45:40Speaker 5: I'm certainly not chetting a tear. Can I detour to
- 45:43Speaker 5: Abby Chatfield, please, Andrew, because that's not even the most
- 45:46Speaker 5: looney clip I've seen from her in the wake of
- 45:48Speaker 5: the election. She's a nutcase, but so many young Australians
- 45:55Speaker 5: go to her for political analysis. It's extraordinary. And we've
- 46:00Speaker 5: been hearing this conversation in America recently with Douglas Murray
- 46:04Speaker 5: and Joe Rogan and Dave Smith talking about the merits
- 46:07Speaker 5: of experts or the merits of, you know, listening to
- 46:10Speaker 5: people who don't really know what they're talking about. And
- 46:13Speaker 5: one of the bad things about the new alternative media
- 46:16Speaker 5: there's a lot of good stuff that comes with it.
- 46:18Speaker 5: But the bad thing is it gives pe platforms to
- 46:19Speaker 5: people like Abby Chatfield who do not know what they're
- 46:22Speaker 5: talking about. But still so many young Australians would take
- 46:26Speaker 5: their political cues from her. I think it's something that
- 46:28Speaker 5: we should be we should be quite worried about.
- 46:32Speaker 2: Yeah, when we say napcase, we obviously mean she's not
- 46:35Speaker 2: sortiably crazy.
- 46:36Speaker 5: Should just say, in the colloquial sense, thank you.
- 46:39Speaker 2: Rational person, Yes, here's something Danika. Here is a very
- 46:48Speaker 2: very lucky man. David Ryan is a permanent residence in Australia,
- 46:52Speaker 2: not a citizen. He sexually assaulted eighteen women in Melbourne nightclubs.
- 46:58Speaker 2: The judge didn't jail him, even though called the texts praisen.
- 47:01Speaker 2: He said, no, no, no, they're out of character, even
- 47:04Speaker 2: though these attacks, eighteen of them, happened over three separate nights,
- 47:09Speaker 2: kissing women, patting backsides, putting his hand up a top.
- 47:13Speaker 2: And the reason is lucky that, in my view, is
- 47:15Speaker 2: that if the judge had jailed him for a year,
- 47:18Speaker 2: he could have been deported. What would you say the
- 47:21Speaker 2: man was lucky, not lucky, very lucky.
- 47:25Speaker 7: What do you think well, I think he was very lucky.
- 47:29Speaker 7: But to be honest, Andrew, it's cases like this, and
- 47:32Speaker 7: we've heard them before that really really bothered me, because,
- 47:35Speaker 7: in my opinion, it goes to show that multiculturalism, the
- 47:40Speaker 7: way we've embraced it in our society, political correctness to
- 47:44Speaker 7: avoid being called racist or a bigot, is more important
- 47:49Speaker 7: in the justice system than the lives and the safety
- 47:54Speaker 7: of women and girls. I was actually reading an article
- 47:57Speaker 7: earlier that last year Victoria and magistrates were given training
- 48:02Speaker 7: on how to avoid imposing sentences which would lead to
- 48:06Speaker 7: violent migrants being deported from Australia. They actually needed training
- 48:12Speaker 7: to tell you that, and that really just tells.
- 48:14Speaker 12: You everything you need to know.
- 48:15Speaker 7: But once again, I feel like we tiptoe around it
- 48:19Speaker 7: because it's this culture of all we don't want to offend,
- 48:22Speaker 7: and that bothers me.
- 48:23Speaker 2: You didn't, you just didn't tie rout there. Thank you
- 48:26Speaker 2: so much. I've got to say the judge thought the
- 48:28Speaker 2: Goes rehabilitation chances were excellent. Danika di Jeorjo Wilkinson, thank
- 48:33Speaker 2: you very much. That's it from me, Sherry Marxon. Now
- 48:36Speaker 2: good night,
