- 0:00Speaker 1: Lateens. Welcome to the Late Base.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us on the Late Debate.
- 0:08Speaker 3: I'm James Macpherson with Cayla Bond and Dnika Di Giorgio.
- 0:12Speaker 3: Coming up tonight, American supermodel Tyra Banks has relocated her
- 0:16Speaker 3: whole family to Australia, but not because of Donald Trump.
- 0:19Speaker 3: Wait till you hear the real reason why. We'll get
- 0:21Speaker 3: to that later. Plus when we look at what's making
- 0:23Speaker 3: news tomorrow, a big story on the front page of
- 0:26Speaker 3: Tomorrow's Australian as Peter Dutton makes a big announcement regarding
- 0:31Speaker 3: changes to taxation, and the ABC under fire for featuring
- 0:35Speaker 3: a controversial Queensland senator on their program Australian Story during
- 0:40Speaker 3: the election campaign. All of that coming up, But first
- 0:44Speaker 3: breaking news tonight, the UK's highest court has ruled that
- 0:48Speaker 3: transgendered women are not in fact women. Five Supreme Court
- 0:53Speaker 3: judges unanimously agreed that the terms woman and sex refer
- 0:58Speaker 3: to biological realities, not to what they called acquired gender. Furthermore,
- 1:04Speaker 3: they ruled that the concept of sex is binary. Here's
- 1:09Speaker 3: one of the Supreme Court judges, Lord Hodge, explaining the decision.
- 1:15Speaker 4: The unanimous decision of this Court is that the terms
- 1:18Speaker 4: women and sex in the Equality Act two thousand and
- 1:22Speaker 4: ten refer to a biological woman and biological sex.
- 1:28Speaker 3: Now there were massive celebrations outside the court will show
- 1:31Speaker 3: you some vision of that. Women's rights activists saying that
- 1:36Speaker 3: this decision means gender self identifying is effectively dead in
- 1:41Speaker 3: the UK. The decision follows a year long legal battle
- 1:45Speaker 3: between a women's rights group for Women's Scotland and the
- 1:48Speaker 3: Scottish government over the definition of a woman. The Scottish
- 1:52Speaker 3: government wanted to argue that their gender recognition certificates should
- 1:56Speaker 3: determine what is and is not a woman, while the
- 1:59Speaker 3: women's group successfully argued that everybody has always understood women
- 2:04Speaker 3: to be a biological term, not a term of self
- 2:08Speaker 3: identification calor.
- 2:10Speaker 2: This is a massive decision and really.
- 2:13Speaker 3: Something that will have far reaching effects into every area
- 2:16Speaker 3: of policy within the UK as.
- 2:19Speaker 1: Well as should.
- 2:19Speaker 5: I mean, look, if you had told my great grandparents
- 2:22Speaker 5: that in twenty twenty five there would be a court
- 2:24Speaker 5: case in the United Kingdom deciding whether or not you
- 2:28Speaker 5: had to be born a woman in order to be
- 2:30Speaker 5: born a woman, they probably would have chucked a back
- 2:32Speaker 5: of a cold water over you and told you you
- 2:34Speaker 5: were mad. But that's where we've landed in twenty twenty five,
- 2:37Speaker 5: and thank god the court has made the correct decision here.
- 2:40Speaker 1: I mean, this is you know what we're saying. This
- 2:42Speaker 1: is fantastic, it's brilliant.
- 2:44Speaker 5: I mean, this is the least extraordinary thing I've ever seen.
- 2:47Speaker 5: It ought to be the least extraordinary thing I've ever
- 2:49Speaker 5: seen in my life that a court can affirm that, yes,
- 2:52Speaker 5: you actually need to be a biological woman in order
- 2:56Speaker 5: to be a woman. But that's where we've landed where
- 2:58Speaker 5: we need courts to rule these kinds of things. Now
- 3:01Speaker 5: that this decision has been made in the UK, i'd
- 3:03Speaker 5: like to think that it would be replicated across the
- 3:06Speaker 5: Western world.
- 3:07Speaker 1: If it came to it.
- 3:08Speaker 5: But of course we've had cases already here, like a
- 3:10Speaker 5: Giggle versus Tickle, where it seems that Australian courts are
- 3:14Speaker 5: taking a different point of view on these matters. And
- 3:17Speaker 5: as the court pointed out, this doesn't mean that you
- 3:21Speaker 5: can now discriminate against transgender people. They are still, under
- 3:25Speaker 5: law not able to be discriminated against just like any
- 3:28Speaker 5: other person. What this simply says is that in order
- 3:32Speaker 5: to be legally classified a woman, you have to be
- 3:35Speaker 5: born a woman, and that allows the protection of things
- 3:38Speaker 5: like women's sport and women's bathrooms and other exclusively female places.
- 3:43Speaker 5: And so it should be that a court even has
- 3:46Speaker 5: to tell us that is insane.
- 3:48Speaker 6: I just think, how on earth is this a debate
- 3:51Speaker 6: in twenty twenty five when a court has to decide
- 3:55Speaker 6: or make that decision that if you are indeed a
- 3:58Speaker 6: biological man and you decide one day that you want
- 4:02Speaker 6: to wear a dress, you are therefore.
- 4:04Speaker 7: Not a woman.
- 4:05Speaker 6: Yet somehow it's taken a court.
- 4:07Speaker 7: In the UK to come to this decision. Look for years.
- 4:11Speaker 6: The problem is is that there's this been, this woke
- 4:13Speaker 6: ideology which has been peddled NonStop by the left, desperate
- 4:17Speaker 6: really to actually erase women.
- 4:19Speaker 7: And we've seen it here in Australia, as you.
- 4:21Speaker 6: Mentioned, but particularly overseas, under the guise of tolerance and
- 4:25Speaker 6: under the guise of oh well, we've got hurt feelings,
- 4:28Speaker 6: when really it is only to protect a very small
- 4:31Speaker 6: minority of people because we know though that gender is fixed,
- 4:35Speaker 6: it is a biological reality male and female, boy and girl.
- 4:38Speaker 6: But if we look here in Australia, we've got a
- 4:40Speaker 6: big problem here. And I actually think the Coalition has
- 4:43Speaker 6: been quite spineless on this matter from the very beginning,
- 4:46Speaker 6: because they should have come out and said no male
- 4:48Speaker 6: and female two genders, simple as that they should say
- 4:51Speaker 6: it is time to we're going to do something about
- 4:53Speaker 6: kicking out men and women's sports. And I know that
- 4:55Speaker 6: Peter Dutton has said that that is the case that
- 4:57Speaker 6: he does agree with that will do something about it,
- 5:00Speaker 6: actually put it into law. And the more we allow
- 5:03Speaker 6: this warped gender ideology to fester, well, the more we
- 5:06Speaker 6: are at risk of a very confused next generation. And
- 5:08Speaker 6: political correctness simply should not be not defeat science and
- 5:12Speaker 6: common practice. So I applaud this judge in the UK
- 5:15Speaker 6: for making this decision, but the fact that it's had
- 5:17Speaker 6: to come to this house sad.
- 5:19Speaker 5: You mentioned the erasure of women, Danika. We've had another
- 5:23Speaker 5: great decision come down today in New Zealand as well.
- 5:26Speaker 1: Again this is I mean, this is just common sense stuff.
- 5:29Speaker 5: It's crazy that we have to be sitting here lauding it,
- 5:32Speaker 5: but that's where we've landed these days. In New Zealand,
- 5:35Speaker 5: the Health Department had stopped referring to pregnant women and
- 5:39Speaker 5: started talking about pregnant people and people who have a cervix,
- 5:43Speaker 5: and people who can give childbirth, all this sort of business. Well,
- 5:46Speaker 5: the government has said none of that anymore. It is
- 5:49Speaker 5: pregnant women.
- 5:51Speaker 1: Take a look.
- 5:53Speaker 8: When it comes to a pregnant belly. It's usually easy
- 5:56Speaker 8: to tell who's expecting, but what their pronouns are may
- 6:00Speaker 8: not always be as clear. So how thin Zed adopted
- 6:03Speaker 8: a gender neutral term pregnant people, a term now being
- 6:07Speaker 8: shelved following a directive from the minister.
- 6:10Speaker 9: I'm minister responsible for women's health, and therefore I think
- 6:13Speaker 9: it's perfectly acceptable for me to be able to talk
- 6:15Speaker 9: about women's health.
- 6:17Speaker 8: Last month, she sent a letter to how Inz outlining
- 6:20Speaker 8: the change.
- 6:21Speaker 9: This isn't about a excluding anyone. This is about being
- 6:24Speaker 9: clear about a messaging and I didn't you know. The
- 6:26Speaker 9: letter is very clear.
- 6:28Speaker 1: What a breath of fresh air. Though One News did
- 6:32Speaker 1: manage to find one.
- 6:33Speaker 2: Person who disagreed with this.
- 6:36Speaker 7: What's confusing about the term pregnant people? Well, the fact
- 6:40Speaker 7: is it's women.
- 6:41Speaker 9: It's women that get pregnant. I think that she's ignorant
- 6:44Speaker 9: because not only women can get pregnant.
- 6:47Speaker 1: People who identify as being men can also be pregnant.
- 6:52Speaker 5: Are these bloody ignorant women thinking only women can get pregnant?
- 6:56Speaker 1: How dare they?
- 6:57Speaker 5: But again, just a common sense decision that we wish
- 7:01Speaker 5: someone would say something like that here in Australia.
- 7:03Speaker 3: The bias of the media is quite interesting because that
- 7:06Speaker 3: media report we showed you that report just from a
- 7:09Speaker 3: little bit into it, but it actually begins by the
- 7:12Speaker 3: journalists saying the Health Minister has defended the decision to
- 7:17Speaker 3: instruct New Zealand Health to call pregnant women pregnant women
- 7:20Speaker 3: rather than pregnant people.
- 7:22Speaker 2: So the framing is interesting.
- 7:24Speaker 3: That she's being framed as the weird one or the
- 7:27Speaker 3: odd one for simply pointing out biological realities shows you
- 7:31Speaker 3: how far the culture has moved when to simply say
- 7:34Speaker 3: it's women who get pregnant is something you need to defend.
- 7:37Speaker 3: But on top of that, the activist goes on to
- 7:40Speaker 3: complain that referring to pregnant women is well, it's not inclusive.
- 7:47Speaker 3: But Caleb, you'ving worked with words your entire life. The
- 7:49Speaker 3: very point of words, if you want to use them
- 7:52Speaker 3: to define things, is that they can't be inclusive.
- 7:55Speaker 2: They have to be exclusive.
- 7:56Speaker 3: A dog can't mean maybe a cat. It has to
- 8:00Speaker 3: in a dog. So for words to have any value
- 8:02Speaker 3: or meaning at all, they are necessarily exclusive rather than inclusionary.
- 8:07Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, it's just a matter of specificity, isn't it.
- 8:10Speaker 5: And of course it is the erasure of women, which
- 8:13Speaker 5: is what you were talking about earlier in Jeneka, because
- 8:15Speaker 5: you don't see this happening with men. I mean, there
- 8:18Speaker 5: is no facet of life or the world where they
- 8:20Speaker 5: want to remove the reference to mean, unless, of course
- 8:23Speaker 5: it's feminists who say that you can't have men in
- 8:25Speaker 5: other words, because that somehow seeks time. But it is
- 8:29Speaker 5: the erasure of women for the benefit of biological men.
- 8:31Speaker 7: Absolutely.
- 8:32Speaker 6: And the issue with this, and it was actually raised
- 8:34Speaker 6: by this health minister, is that if you go to
- 8:37Speaker 6: hospital or you go to your GP and you are
- 8:39Speaker 6: indeed a biological female, you have specific medical conditions that
- 8:44Speaker 6: are actually related to women, like endometriosis for example, which.
- 8:48Speaker 7: Was used by this health minister.
- 8:50Speaker 6: Yeah, you've got people, You've even got politicians around the
- 8:52Speaker 6: world that like David Lammy, for goodness sake, the UK
- 8:55Speaker 6: Foreign Secretary, who believe that men can have a cervix.
- 8:58Speaker 7: Well, it's just simply not the case.
- 9:00Speaker 6: For goodness sake, so as a doctor, you actually need
- 9:03Speaker 6: to know who you're dealing with here, and you're dealing
- 9:06Speaker 6: with women's specific issues. But again, why has it taken
- 9:09Speaker 6: this long for someone to go enough is enough?
- 9:12Speaker 7: Put an end to the madness. It's gone beyond a joke.
- 9:14Speaker 1: Now was it the UK as well? We did this story?
- 9:17Speaker 5: I forget when it was that they created an edict
- 9:20Speaker 5: in the NHS where they had to ask every patient
- 9:22Speaker 5: who came in for an X ray whether they were pregnant,
- 9:25Speaker 5: male or female, because you know, someone who looks like
- 9:28Speaker 5: a bloke could actually be pregnant. I mean, it's just
- 9:31Speaker 5: straightforward common sense stuff you would think.
- 9:33Speaker 2: And from memory that related even to teenage boys.
- 9:36Speaker 3: It's correct to be asked, is there a possibility she
- 9:38Speaker 3: might correct?
- 9:38Speaker 1: For thirty year old boys?
- 9:40Speaker 2: A parent? How ropable you would be if someone it
- 9:44Speaker 2: is just ridiculous.
- 9:45Speaker 5: Now, of course, if you were watching Paul Murray Live before,
- 9:47Speaker 5: you would have had all the lowdown on the second
- 9:50Speaker 5: Leader's debate. Tonight, of course, Anthony Albanezi and Peter Dutton
- 9:54Speaker 5: faced off on the ABC. This time we'll get into
- 9:57Speaker 5: a little more detail in a moment, but if you
- 10:00Speaker 5: missed it, tears a little bit of Dutton's performance.
- 10:04Speaker 10: We approached the third of May, many Australians will be
- 10:06Speaker 10: asking themselves, are you better off today than you were
- 10:09Speaker 10: three years ago? People have seen food prices go up
- 10:12Speaker 10: by thirty percent, their mortgages have gone up on twelve
- 10:15Speaker 10: occasions over the last two years. The government's brought in
- 10:17Speaker 10: a million people, all of whom want homes, and all
- 10:20Speaker 10: of whom are competing against young Australians for that rental
- 10:23Speaker 10: property or to purchase a home. That's a million people,
- 10:27Speaker 10: which is seventy percent higher than any two year period
- 10:30Speaker 10: in our country's history. Anthony, your government has modeled negative
- 10:33Speaker 10: gearing changes NCGT changes. The Treasurer has done that.
- 10:37Speaker 2: That's not right.
- 10:38Speaker 5: Well, now, look, I don't think there were any knockout
- 10:42Speaker 5: blows from Peter Dutton here. I don't think he walked
- 10:46Speaker 5: in there and had Anthony Albanisi on the floor completely defeated.
- 10:50Speaker 5: I think he did a decent job, But there was
- 10:52Speaker 5: nothing that made me look at that debate and go, well,
- 10:54Speaker 5: this is really going to turn the dial. Of course,
- 10:57Speaker 5: Anthony Alberizi was talking up his economic.
- 11:01Speaker 11: We are the only government in the last twenty years
- 11:04Speaker 11: that have produced consecutive budget surpluses and we've harved the
- 11:07Speaker 11: deficit this year as a direct result of the responsible
- 11:12Speaker 11: economic management that we have. Then debt is one hundred
- 11:17Speaker 11: and seventy seven billion dollars less.
- 11:20Speaker 5: Now, interestingly, they were both asked what sort of great
- 11:24Speaker 5: economic legacy they would leave. They were given the example
- 11:28Speaker 5: of John Howard and the GST floating the dollar, as
- 11:33Speaker 5: Paul Keating did, what is the great economic vision that
- 11:36Speaker 5: your government has or would have? Peter Dutton referred to
- 11:41Speaker 5: nuclear which I think is a fair thing to nominate.
- 11:44Speaker 5: That is a serious policy. But the one Albaneas he
- 11:47Speaker 5: came up with, of all the things he could possibly say,
- 11:50Speaker 5: this is the great reform my government will achieve, is
- 11:53Speaker 5: affordable childcare. Something tells me that in twenty years time,
- 11:58Speaker 5: people won't be looking back at this government and going,
- 12:01Speaker 5: you know, that great reform that Anthony Albanesi pushed through,
- 12:05Speaker 5: affordable childcare. If that's as good as his vision gets,
- 12:09Speaker 5: it tells us a lot about where this government is at.
- 12:12Speaker 5: There were a couple of other slip ups won by
- 12:15Speaker 5: Anthony Albanzi when he was asked point blank, when the
- 12:19Speaker 5: hell are power bills going to come.
- 12:22Speaker 12: Down, sorry, and just stick with your plan, mister Albanezi,
- 12:26Speaker 12: When will the bills come down under our plan?
- 12:28Speaker 11: We know that renewables are the cheapest form of power
- 12:31Speaker 11: and that is why we are doing that, rolling it out,
- 12:35Speaker 11: including through gas. Peter Raet's gas gas is now thirteen dollars.
- 12:40Speaker 11: It was thirty dollars and when we came cheaper, when
- 12:42Speaker 11: we came off, thirteen is cheaper than thirty.
- 12:46Speaker 12: When do we.
- 12:48Speaker 5: Indeed, thirteen is cheaper than thirty. But two hundred and
- 12:51Speaker 5: seventy five is also a lot cheaper than what I'm
- 12:53Speaker 5: paying on my power bill at the moment, isn't it?
- 12:55Speaker 5: Mister ab Albanzi. He couldn't answer the question once again,
- 12:59Speaker 5: and the one that slipped up Peter Dudden. I think
- 13:01Speaker 5: it was a big mistake he made when he was
- 13:04Speaker 5: asked whether he trusts Donald Trump. And we know that
- 13:09Speaker 5: there has been a want to link Donald Trump to
- 13:13Speaker 5: Peter Dutton, and obviously it's coming through in the polling
- 13:16Speaker 5: now that that's actually sticking to Dutton a bit. So
- 13:20Speaker 5: Dutton took the tech that will I've not met the bloke,
- 13:23Speaker 5: so I can't say that I trust him. And then
- 13:26Speaker 5: Albo was asked, do you trust Peter Duddon, sorry, trust Donald?
- 13:30Speaker 1: Then you go I'm making the link. Now do you
- 13:32Speaker 1: trust Donald Trump?
- 13:33Speaker 5: And Albanez he simply said, yes, of course I do.
- 13:36Speaker 5: For someone who wants to be the Prime Minister to
- 13:40Speaker 5: not say that they trust the leader of the free world,
- 13:43Speaker 5: the leader of one of our closest allies, it was
- 13:46Speaker 5: a very strange I.
- 13:48Speaker 6: Thought that was a very very messy moment by Peter Dutton,
- 13:51Speaker 6: and I just wonder if that has been Is that
- 13:54Speaker 6: now the campaign strategy? I wonder if that's what his
- 13:56Speaker 6: team has told him to say whenever you're asked about
- 13:59Speaker 6: Donald Trump, to say, I don't know the bloke, just
- 14:01Speaker 6: keep him at an arms distance, simply because of the comparisons.
- 14:05Speaker 6: But it's actually made the situation worse because if you
- 14:08Speaker 6: are asked, do you trust Donald Trump, our number one ally,
- 14:13Speaker 6: the leader of the free world, the answer is.
- 14:15Speaker 1: Yes, you do.
- 14:16Speaker 6: You should have absolute confidence in the leader of the
- 14:19Speaker 6: free world. Who cares if you know him? Who cares
- 14:21Speaker 6: if you don't know him. I don't care if you
- 14:23Speaker 6: haven't shook his hand or not yet. But I thought
- 14:25Speaker 6: that was the biggest slip up of the night. What
- 14:27Speaker 6: I will say though, is that I think that Peter
- 14:29Speaker 6: Dutton for the first time was on message, short and sharp,
- 14:33Speaker 6: and he finally stuck to.
- 14:35Speaker 7: The cost of living. There was no dilly dallying left
- 14:37Speaker 7: or right.
- 14:38Speaker 6: It was straight down the line, because that's the message
- 14:40Speaker 6: that Australians want to hear.
- 14:42Speaker 7: They want to know.
- 14:43Speaker 6: How he's going to help with their power bills, what
- 14:45Speaker 6: he's going to do. It's very easy to get Anthony
- 14:47Speaker 6: albneasy on energy. I mean, for goodness, going in circles,
- 14:50Speaker 6: renewable is the best option.
- 14:52Speaker 7: Renewables are always cheaper.
- 14:53Speaker 6: Well, we know that renewables are not the cheapest option
- 14:57Speaker 6: because our power bills have gone in the exact opposite
- 15:00Speaker 6: direction under this labor fantasy. But there was also another
- 15:04Speaker 6: slip up that I thought was interesting by Anthony Alberizi tonight.
- 15:06Speaker 6: It just goes to show he has no idea where
- 15:09Speaker 6: the figures are coming from from key policies. He claimed
- 15:12Speaker 6: that Labor I did not model the overhaul of negative
- 15:15Speaker 6: gearing and capital's gains tax, despite.
- 15:19Speaker 7: The fact that the Treasurer actually asked.
- 15:20Speaker 6: Treasury to do that last year and now both slipped
- 15:23Speaker 6: up on it.
- 15:24Speaker 7: He's like, well, you know, No, we've got the modeling.
- 15:26Speaker 7: We've got the modeling.
- 15:27Speaker 6: He has no idea where the modeling has come from,
- 15:30Speaker 6: just like you didn't know where that Reputech's modeling came
- 15:32Speaker 6: from a couple of years ago to model that two
- 15:34Speaker 6: hundred and seventy five dollars. But I thought, for the
- 15:36Speaker 6: first time tonight Dunn was on message very well on cost.
- 15:38Speaker 2: Of living well.
- 15:39Speaker 3: He had one line that will be repeated at in
- 15:41Speaker 3: Nausim over the next couple of weeks, and that is a.
- 15:43Speaker 2: Simple question, are you better off after the last three
- 15:47Speaker 2: years of Anthony Elbanizi.
- 15:48Speaker 3: It was a ligne used by David Christo Folly very
- 15:50Speaker 3: successfully in the Queensland election. And that's the one he's
- 15:54Speaker 3: got a hammer home because he doesn't need to say
- 15:56Speaker 3: any more than that everybody instinctively knows. But on those
- 16:00Speaker 3: other issues he was off. In terms of do you
- 16:03Speaker 3: trust Donald Trump? Will I don't know him? It was
- 16:06Speaker 3: almost an attempt to just push away that whole Trump question,
- 16:10Speaker 3: and clearly they should know that question is one of
- 16:12Speaker 3: the main questions that's being asked of him. That's the
- 16:15Speaker 3: big charge of the government against the opposition. You're too
- 16:19Speaker 3: closely aligned with Trump. He should have had a better
- 16:21Speaker 3: answer than that. And whether you know Trump or not,
- 16:24Speaker 3: I mean you were part of the Scott Morrison government.
- 16:26Speaker 3: Morrison has a very close relationship with Trump, Joe Hockey
- 16:29Speaker 3: has a very close relationship with Trump, and Dutton.
- 16:32Speaker 2: That's a poor answer.
- 16:33Speaker 3: But on top of that, when asked about climate change,
- 16:36Speaker 3: Dutton said well, I'm not a scientist. Yeah, well I'm
- 16:38Speaker 3: glad they didn't ask him what a woman was or
- 16:40Speaker 3: if probably would have said I'm not a biologist. And
- 16:43Speaker 3: so to say well, I'm not a scientist and thinking
- 16:47Speaker 3: that is going to put to bed the climate issue,
- 16:49Speaker 3: that climate issue will be asked again and again. You've
- 16:53Speaker 3: got to have a better answer than that.
- 16:55Speaker 5: And this is what has annoyed me about the Coalition's
- 16:59Speaker 5: campaign and the campaign as a whole, and I talked
- 17:01Speaker 5: about this the other night, is the lack of vision
- 17:04Speaker 5: and the lack of certainty. Right, Peter Dutt and the
- 17:07Speaker 5: Coalition don't seem to want to nail their colors to
- 17:11Speaker 5: the mass because you know, part of the trouble is
- 17:14Speaker 5: that elections are played in marginal seats in this country. Right,
- 17:18Speaker 5: It's not about what the broader public wants. It's what,
- 17:21Speaker 5: you know, a small number of people in a small
- 17:23Speaker 5: number of electrics want, and so they don't want to
- 17:26Speaker 5: spook the crowds, and so they won't actually commit and say, yes,
- 17:30Speaker 5: this is what I believe. So Peter Dutton is afraid
- 17:34Speaker 5: to say. He could have just simply said, of course
- 17:36Speaker 5: I believe in climate change, but I think the effects
- 17:39Speaker 5: of man made climate change are overstated, and my number
- 17:42Speaker 5: one goal is to make sure that we can turn
- 17:45Speaker 5: the lights on for a decent price. Right, that's the
- 17:48Speaker 5: answer to that question. But you don't want to put
- 17:50Speaker 5: people off side on the left of the Liberal Party.
- 17:53Speaker 5: You don't want to put people off side in the
- 17:54Speaker 5: teal seats that they're trying to ring back, so they
- 17:57Speaker 5: can't actually commit to a serious line.
- 18:00Speaker 6: She doesn't also want to upset the moderates within the
- 18:02Speaker 6: Liberal Party, and that is the other big issue. But
- 18:04Speaker 6: what we didn't say tonight, though, was Anthony Auberneasy waving
- 18:06Speaker 6: around his Medicare card.
- 18:08Speaker 7: What a shame. I was looking forward to that.
- 18:11Speaker 3: Just before you go on, there was a great moment
- 18:12Speaker 3: where Dunton could have absolutely slammed Albaneza on the Trump thing,
- 18:16Speaker 3: where Albanezi says, of course, I trust Donald Trump. Dunton
- 18:19Speaker 3: should have immediately jumped in and said, just a couple
- 18:21Speaker 3: of years ago you.
- 18:22Speaker 2: Said Trump scared them expletive out of it.
- 18:24Speaker 7: That's really what happened.
- 18:26Speaker 3: There were some moments where I just thought should have
- 18:29Speaker 3: really nailed Yes, missed the moment, a couple of miss moments.
- 18:32Speaker 6: Well, look Caleb mentioned the teals there and gee, we've
- 18:35Speaker 6: got to talk about till MP Monique Ryan. Sorry excuse me,
- 18:39Speaker 6: doctor Monique Ryan. Part of me that for that extreme rudeness,
- 18:43Speaker 6: my absolute mistake. But look she's offended again by something.
- 18:47Speaker 6: Would you believe she must be clearly under pressure. Now,
- 18:50Speaker 6: for those of you at home who don't know about
- 18:51Speaker 6: this new Barbie box trend that's happening all over social media,
- 18:55Speaker 6: whereby an AI image is generated of oneself next to
- 19:00Speaker 6: some accessories that could be your hobbies or things that
- 19:02Speaker 6: you like. Well, the Victorian Liberal Party has put out
- 19:07Speaker 6: a meme of Monique Ryan.
- 19:09Speaker 7: And well she wasn't too impressed. Here it is now. Look,
- 19:11Speaker 7: I actually think it's quite funny.
- 19:12Speaker 6: Here we have Monique Ryan as a Barbie style toy
- 19:15Speaker 6: under the label Monic Ryan votes with the green seventy
- 19:18Speaker 6: seven percent of the time. Batteries not included may require
- 19:21Speaker 6: Climate two hundred funding to operate. And as you can
- 19:25Speaker 6: see those very good accessories there, the doctor with a mask,
- 19:29Speaker 6: her famous line mask put your mask back on the
- 19:32Speaker 6: greens and Amelia Hamer sign her liberal opponent. Of course,
- 19:36Speaker 6: you know her husband was taking down those Amelia Hamers signs.
- 19:40Speaker 6: And this one's really great, the first till Prime Minister
- 19:43Speaker 6: a dream journal.
- 19:44Speaker 7: But here's the catch in all of this.
- 19:47Speaker 6: The doctor, the doctor herself has claimed that this was sexist. Yes,
- 19:53Speaker 6: she's ripped out that old chestnut because she's so offended.
- 19:58Speaker 6: She's putting this down to sexism. In fact, she says,
- 20:01Speaker 6: and I quote in March twenty twenty four in the
- 20:03Speaker 6: Age Emiliahama called out sexism and said there wouldn't be
- 20:07Speaker 6: any cat fighting in the twenty twenty five Couyong campaign.
- 20:10Speaker 6: The liberal campaign is negative and personal. And then she
- 20:13Speaker 6: went on to say that this is nothing other than insulting. Well,
- 20:18Speaker 6: you know what, Monique, it's all a bit of fun,
- 20:19Speaker 6: isn't it. I think we can all have a bit
- 20:21Speaker 6: of love. I actually think it was quite hilarious. In fact,
- 20:24Speaker 6: I think it is a perfect description of all of
- 20:26Speaker 6: the summaries of exactly what Monique has done in Parliament,
- 20:29Speaker 6: and that is absolutely nothing other than telling people to
- 20:32Speaker 6: wear a mask.
- 20:33Speaker 5: And she specifically said that the women of Couyong would
- 20:36Speaker 5: see nothing other than insulting.
- 20:38Speaker 1: I mean, how is this.
- 20:39Speaker 5: Sexist in any way? The Liberal Party's done this to
- 20:42Speaker 5: men as well. They've done it to Anthony ALBINIZI, they've
- 20:45Speaker 5: done it to Alex Dyson, who's running down in the western.
- 20:48Speaker 1: Districts in Victoria. Well, another one of these independent.
- 20:51Speaker 5: She's not a sexist thing whatsoever, unless she thinks it's
- 20:55Speaker 5: sexist because she looks a bit frumpy.
- 20:57Speaker 1: In the doll.
- 20:57Speaker 5: But I can tell you that it doesn't. A friend
- 21:01Speaker 5: of mine did one for me the other day and
- 21:03Speaker 5: I came out looking a bit poorky. Well, I actually
- 21:05Speaker 5: am as well, well, what we are like that done?
- 21:07Speaker 7: What were your accessory?
- 21:09Speaker 1: It was a bottle of red.
- 21:10Speaker 5: There was a race horse and it actually said unprompted
- 21:14Speaker 5: under my name, it said the voice of common Sense.
- 21:16Speaker 5: It wasn't told to do that. It just worked it
- 21:19Speaker 5: out for itself. So chat GPT knows what's up. But seriously,
- 21:22Speaker 5: to try and claim this is sexist. I mean it
- 21:24Speaker 5: harkens back to Julia Gillard when she decided it'd be
- 21:27Speaker 5: a good idea to go after Tony Abbott by claiming
- 21:30Speaker 5: he was sexist for looking at his watch for Heaven's
- 21:33Speaker 5: sake in Parliament and then went on with that misogyny
- 21:36Speaker 5: speech that the ABC later put to music.
- 21:38Speaker 1: I've heard it on Classic FM, by the way.
- 21:41Speaker 5: Terrible, but oh we'll pull out the sexism one and
- 21:44Speaker 5: you can't possibly argue with that.
- 21:46Speaker 1: It's not sexist.
- 21:47Speaker 3: Yes, sexism is the claiming sexism is the refuge of
- 21:50Speaker 3: people who don't have an argument. And of course, as
- 21:52Speaker 3: you pointed out, similar action figures were created of men
- 21:55Speaker 3: Anthony Albanezi, although brilliantly they called Anthony Albanese's action figure
- 22:00Speaker 3: and in action figure, which I thought was good.
- 22:02Speaker 2: But was that sexism?
- 22:03Speaker 3: Of course it wasn't funny how Monique Ryan has strong
- 22:06Speaker 3: opinions about memes, but it's completely clueless about things like integrity.
- 22:14Speaker 12: Should it be clear to voters people who are looking
- 22:16Speaker 12: at this content that it's paid for by the politician.
- 22:21Speaker 2: I don't really have an opinion on it.
- 22:22Speaker 12: Really, you think voters deserve to know that if someone
- 22:28Speaker 12: they're watching is saying great things about a politician, whether
- 22:30Speaker 12: they're being paid by that politician.
- 22:33Speaker 7: I have to give some thought. It's not something I've
- 22:35Speaker 7: given great thought to myself.
- 22:36Speaker 12: You have to give that some thought.
- 22:38Speaker 1: Well, I would think that it would be clear.
- 22:44Speaker 7: I don't know. I think I'd have to give it
- 22:53Speaker 7: some thought done.
- 22:55Speaker 3: Strong opinions about memes, though, I'm going to say, just
- 22:57Speaker 3: before we move on, I was wondering am I being
- 23:00Speaker 3: hypocritical here? Because I was quite critical of the Labor
- 23:04Speaker 3: Party with those memes about three eyed fish regarding the
- 23:07Speaker 3: nuclear debate. But somehow I like these action figures, and
- 23:11Speaker 3: I think the difference is this, when it's got truth
- 23:14Speaker 3: to it, it's witty and it's clever, and it exposes
- 23:19Speaker 3: the hypocrisy of people and things. That's when it's really
- 23:23Speaker 3: on point. And that's a difference between the Labor Party
- 23:25Speaker 3: and some of the stuff that's been coming out from.
- 23:27Speaker 2: The Liberals in this election.
- 23:28Speaker 3: The Liberals have been witty because it's been clever, because
- 23:31Speaker 3: it's been based on truth. Speaking of truth in politics,
- 23:35Speaker 3: check out this photograph after the Labor Party campaign launch
- 23:40Speaker 3: of some Labor luminaries you've got in this photograph Tanny Pliparsek,
- 23:44Speaker 3: the Environment Minister, Julia Gillard, former Prime Minister and former
- 23:48Speaker 3: Treasurer Wayne Swan.
- 23:50Speaker 2: Now there they.
- 23:50Speaker 3: Are after the labor campaign launch in the Quantus Chairman's lounge,
- 23:56Speaker 3: readying to catch their flights. Now that's the photo Tanny
- 23:59Speaker 3: pliparcc put on Instagram. Have a look now at the
- 24:02Speaker 3: photo Wayne Swan put on social media and tell me
- 24:06Speaker 3: if you notice any difference, Deanika, I just swap the
- 24:11Speaker 3: photos around against jos the first one, here's the original
- 24:14Speaker 3: against even spot the difference there it is And now
- 24:18Speaker 3: Wayne Swan, Denika, what is going on here?
- 24:22Speaker 7: I don't know. I'm not too sure what's happened there.
- 24:24Speaker 6: All I can think of is that perhaps old Swanny
- 24:26Speaker 6: he's got himself on the photo shop app and has
- 24:28Speaker 6: done a little diy job out there, and he hasn't
- 24:31Speaker 6: done a very good.
- 24:31Speaker 7: Job at it.
- 24:32Speaker 6: Oh, because of course that that photo was taken at
- 24:36Speaker 6: the quantity maybe.
- 24:39Speaker 3: In the cost of living crisis, where you're promising to
- 24:41Speaker 3: stand up for the battlers, to five minutes later have
- 24:44Speaker 3: yourself swanning around, yes, unintended in the Quantus Chairman's Lambs.
- 24:48Speaker 3: Not only that, when you're the environed minister who claims
- 24:52Speaker 3: that omissions are going to destroy the planet, probably shouldn't
- 24:56Speaker 3: be closing up to the aviation sector. And of course
- 24:58Speaker 3: Julia Gillard, who put a carbon tax on us all
- 25:01Speaker 3: aviation of course causes numerous omissions, shouldn't be pictured there either.
- 25:06Speaker 3: I've got to be honest, though ninety nine percent of
- 25:08Speaker 3: people wouldn't have known what the quantus Gairman clubs. Anyway,
- 25:12Speaker 3: I look at the photo, I thought it was the
- 25:14Speaker 3: Greens party room.
- 25:17Speaker 5: It's only because he did that edit that anyone is
- 25:21Speaker 5: now talking about the fact that the photo was dagging
- 25:23Speaker 5: in the.
- 25:23Speaker 6: Chairman because I saw it a few days ago on
- 25:25Speaker 6: X and I remember thinking what an odd photograph to
- 25:28Speaker 6: be putting up.
- 25:29Speaker 7: I was completely confused by it. But you know what
- 25:31Speaker 7: they've done.
- 25:31Speaker 6: It is because they were in Perth and originally right
- 25:34Speaker 6: for the launch of the Labor Party campaign, where they're
- 25:37Speaker 6: out there, they're spreaking cost of living measures, they're spooking
- 25:40Speaker 6: housing and they've.
- 25:41Speaker 7: Gone, oh, I wonder what it would look.
- 25:44Speaker 6: Like if we take a photo together in the most
- 25:46Speaker 6: exclusive club in Australia.
- 25:48Speaker 7: How would that look to be honest, I actually don't.
- 25:50Speaker 6: Think anybody would care where you've taken this photo.
- 25:52Speaker 7: But you know what, the cover up is worse than
- 25:55Speaker 7: the crime.
- 25:56Speaker 3: I say it's a positive here they finally found two
- 25:58Speaker 3: people who are happy to hug and.
- 26:04Speaker 5: I think you're we know they're in the Chairman's lounge anyway.
- 26:06Speaker 5: But I would say to Wayne Swan, if you think
- 26:10Speaker 5: it's a bit ropey that you were in the Chairman's
- 26:12Speaker 5: lounge so much so that you've got to edit it
- 26:15Speaker 5: out of the photos so people don't see that you
- 26:17Speaker 5: were in the chairman's lounge, why did you go in
- 26:19Speaker 5: there in the first race. You know, if you think
- 26:22Speaker 5: it's not a great look, maybe just don't go to
- 26:24Speaker 5: the Chairman's lounge. But those benefits and free one and
- 26:28Speaker 5: whatever they're getting in there from Quantus must be too
- 26:31Speaker 5: good to refuse, particularly even after they've left politics, because Swanne,
- 26:36Speaker 5: of course has been out of the game for quite
- 26:37Speaker 5: some time now. Over at the ABC, we know they're
- 26:40Speaker 5: terribly racist because they did a report themselves into the
- 26:43Speaker 5: state of racism at the ABC asked their own staff
- 26:47Speaker 5: what was going on, and they came back and said,
- 26:49Speaker 5: there is a terrible problem with racism in this outfit.
- 26:53Speaker 1: So they came up with a solution. They have now
- 26:55Speaker 1: hired an elder in residence. This is reporting today.
- 27:00Speaker 5: The Elder in residence this is of course an Indigenous
- 27:03Speaker 5: person role who's created in twenty twenty four in response
- 27:07Speaker 5: to the Listen Loudly, Act Strongly report which I mentioned before,
- 27:11Speaker 5: an independent review of the ABC systems and processes in
- 27:14Speaker 5: support of staff who experience racism. The review found only
- 27:19Speaker 5: one of the one hundred and twenty participants, comprising of
- 27:22Speaker 5: current and former ABC staff, described not personally experiencing racism
- 27:28Speaker 5: in the workplace. So the ABC must be one of
- 27:30Speaker 5: the most racist places in the country to work.
- 27:33Speaker 1: So they've decided this will fix it all.
- 27:35Speaker 5: Will have an elder in residence who will go around
- 27:39Speaker 5: talking to management and supporting apparently indigenous staff, and that
- 27:43Speaker 5: will solve racism in the ABC. I couldn't believe of
- 27:47Speaker 5: reading the story and this woman who's been appointed professor
- 27:51Speaker 5: Jackie Huggins, and good luck to her.
- 27:53Speaker 1: I'm sure she'll try her best over at the ABC.
- 27:56Speaker 5: But I thought, you know, this must be the first
- 27:58Speaker 5: time that they've employed someone to deal specifically with Indigenous
- 28:03Speaker 5: staff because the ABC thinks that's a problem.
- 28:06Speaker 1: But she was asked, what are you looking forward.
- 28:08Speaker 5: To when you're working here at the ABC now, and
- 28:11Speaker 5: she said that she was really looking forward to as
- 28:15Speaker 5: the Elder in residence, to working with the Director of
- 28:18Speaker 5: First Nation Strategy. So they've already got someone else on
- 28:21Speaker 5: the books and the Bonner Committee, which is an advisory
- 28:25Speaker 5: committee that the ABC had already set up to advise
- 28:29Speaker 5: it on matters relating to Indigenous staff.
- 28:32Speaker 1: So the ABC has such.
- 28:34Speaker 5: A problem with racism now that they have three separate
- 28:37Speaker 5: entities working on the rampant racism against Indigenous people in
- 28:41Speaker 5: the ABC. I mean, I can't believe anyone still works well.
- 28:44Speaker 3: At least we know if racism continues what they'll do.
- 28:47Speaker 3: They'll add a fourth, a fourth and a fantast.
- 28:49Speaker 2: Sixth later to all of that.
- 28:51Speaker 3: I found strange in the original report, which came out
- 28:54Speaker 3: after famously Stan Grant left the ABC complaining he hadn't
- 28:58Speaker 3: received adequate support about racism. You've received both from outside
- 29:03Speaker 3: and within the ABC. But that report claimed that many
- 29:07Speaker 3: of those one hundred and twenty people who were interviewed
- 29:09Speaker 3: said they'd been passed over for promotion because they had
- 29:13Speaker 3: been considered diversity HighRes. You're only there because you know,
- 29:17Speaker 3: you've been ticking a diversity box.
- 29:19Speaker 2: So the report recommended the answer was.
- 29:21Speaker 3: To have more people of diverse backgrounds in leadership positions.
- 29:25Speaker 3: But isn't that simply opening them up to the continued chart.
- 29:28Speaker 2: Correct, You're only in a leadership.
- 29:30Speaker 3: Position because you are from a diverse group of people.
- 29:34Speaker 3: So every step where they try to solve this racism
- 29:37Speaker 3: issue missus the point.
- 29:38Speaker 7: Well, it's classic DEI, isn't it.
- 29:40Speaker 6: And I would actually like to know how much we're
- 29:42Speaker 6: paying this woman to do it, because I noticed that
- 29:44Speaker 6: in her role, Professor Huggins will provide cultural guidance to
- 29:47Speaker 6: management and leadership teams. What on earth can someone please
- 29:50Speaker 6: explain what is cultural guidance and why do.
- 29:54Speaker 7: You need it?
- 29:54Speaker 6: And honestly, the other question I have to ask is
- 29:57Speaker 6: how many people do the ABC hire?
- 30:00Speaker 7: How many people do you need to fulfill.
- 30:03Speaker 6: One role in the company that I just don't actually
- 30:07Speaker 6: think they have any concept? And once again our money
- 30:10Speaker 6: is going towards funding more ideological bias and ideological nonsense
- 30:16Speaker 6: from the public broadcaster. And that is what the scary
- 30:18Speaker 6: part is here Again, what are they doing.
- 30:21Speaker 5: But if you can justify having an elder in residence,
- 30:25Speaker 5: I mean, how do you then justify not having an
- 30:28Speaker 5: Indian in residence and isra Lankan in residence and an
- 30:31Speaker 5: Italian in residence and on and on it goes. I
- 30:33Speaker 5: mean they've singled out specifically Indigenous people here as needing
- 30:38Speaker 5: a special mentor and advocate within the ABC. Well what
- 30:41Speaker 5: about every other racial minority. Where's the homosexual in residence?
- 30:45Speaker 5: Because of course there are gay people at the ABC
- 30:47Speaker 5: who feel like they've been discriminated against, et cetera. Where's
- 30:49Speaker 5: the woman in residence? Because there was another report that
- 30:52Speaker 5: was done that said there's rampant sexual harassment in the ABC.
- 30:55Speaker 5: I mean you can't just stop at an elder in residence, surely,
- 30:59Speaker 5: no you can't.
- 31:00Speaker 6: Well, look, let's move on now to the United Nations
- 31:03Speaker 6: Climate Conference. Yes, you know, the one COP thirty one,
- 31:06Speaker 6: where a bunch of green zalots, mostly elites, fly into
- 31:10Speaker 6: these conferences held all around the world on their private jets.
- 31:14Speaker 6: Doesn't matter, never mind though the carbon emissions.
- 31:17Speaker 7: But to guess what it could actually be coming.
- 31:19Speaker 6: To a city near you soon because Adelaide is now
- 31:23Speaker 6: in the running to host it, but spare a thought
- 31:27Speaker 6: for the South Australian Police Commissioner. He says that there
- 31:31Speaker 6: is not enough manpower would you believe, to actually protect
- 31:35Speaker 6: the event from any sort of security fears. Here is
- 31:39Speaker 6: Grant Stevens talking about how concerned he was. He says, quote,
- 31:44Speaker 6: when I was first told about Cop thirty one and
- 31:46Speaker 6: the significance of the event in the scale of it,
- 31:49Speaker 6: I was pretty relieved that it was in twenty thirty
- 31:51Speaker 6: one because there's every chance I might be retired and
- 31:54Speaker 6: watching from the sidelines. And then they said, oh no, no,
- 31:57Speaker 6: Cop twenty one is in two thousand and twenty six.
- 32:01Speaker 6: Poor bugger just wanted to have a couple of years
- 32:04Speaker 6: of enjoying his last few years in the police force,
- 32:06Speaker 6: and now he has to deal with this mammoth, absolute
- 32:10Speaker 6: nonsense event.
- 32:11Speaker 7: Now, not only are events like this.
- 32:14Speaker 6: A complete waste of time, but they are such a.
- 32:17Speaker 7: Burden on the taxpayer.
- 32:18Speaker 6: In fact, the Coalition estimates that this is going to
- 32:20Speaker 6: cost tens of billions of dollars. But now we have
- 32:23Speaker 6: a situation where South Australia is saying, hang on, we
- 32:25Speaker 6: don't have enough manpower to protect all these elites coming
- 32:28Speaker 6: in from here, there and everywhere, and so they're saying, well,
- 32:31Speaker 6: we're going to have to get resources from other states
- 32:34Speaker 6: flowed in to look after it.
- 32:36Speaker 7: So it means that they're going.
- 32:36Speaker 6: To have to give up police officers from other states,
- 32:39Speaker 6: take them off the beat to bring it into South
- 32:41Speaker 6: Australia in the event that Adelaide actually hosts this and
- 32:44Speaker 6: really for what a junket that's run by clinatic, by
- 32:48Speaker 6: climate fanatics.
- 32:49Speaker 3: And how insulting is that to the people of Adelaide
- 32:51Speaker 3: who've experienced crime crisis and there's clearly not enough police
- 32:55Speaker 3: as it is. But what they'll do for the world's
- 32:57Speaker 3: elite is they'll fly in a hold of extra police
- 33:00Speaker 3: officers just for the couple of weeks that Cop thirty
- 33:03Speaker 3: one is on and then when all the elites leave,
- 33:05Speaker 3: those police officers will go and the good people of
- 33:08Speaker 3: Adelaide will be back to their clime crisis and not
- 33:10Speaker 3: enough police to handle it. My big concern with this
- 33:13Speaker 3: is you just really hope none of these delegates required
- 33:18Speaker 3: accident and emergency in a local hospital in Adelaide because
- 33:22Speaker 3: they not only have not enough police, but there's not
- 33:24Speaker 3: enough ambulances, there's not enough hospitals.
- 33:28Speaker 5: I tell this story all the time because they still
- 33:30Speaker 5: can't get over it. When they built the new Royal
- 33:32Speaker 5: Adelaide Hospital, right, you would think if you're going to
- 33:35Speaker 5: knock down an old hospital and build a new one,
- 33:37Speaker 5: population is going to go up, obviously, right, so you
- 33:40Speaker 5: put more beds in the new hospital. No, they built
- 33:43Speaker 5: a new Royal Adelaide Hospital with fewer beds than.
- 33:45Speaker 1: The old Royal Adelaide Hospital. I mean, addiom, it makes
- 33:48Speaker 1: no sense at all.
- 33:49Speaker 5: At least it's not as bad as through the Amazon now,
- 33:53Speaker 5: where they're actually just cutting down swathes of the Amazonian rainforest.
- 33:58Speaker 5: They can build a big road in order to get
- 34:00Speaker 5: all the people to the cop conference because they don't
- 34:02Speaker 5: know how to transport all the people.
- 34:04Speaker 3: Who's excited about Cops thirty one't they go on plane spotters?
- 34:08Speaker 5: Indeed, well there'll be fantastic planes coming in well, by
- 34:12Speaker 5: the way. But they want to bring in coppers from
- 34:14Speaker 5: New Zealand too, not just Australia. I mean, how many
- 34:18Speaker 5: gobbers can you possibly?
- 34:19Speaker 7: We've got the other person who'll be excited about is
- 34:20Speaker 7: Chris Bowen.
- 34:21Speaker 3: Oh yeah, well, and this is the whole point, the point, right,
- 34:25Speaker 3: But it's a chance for Anthony Albanezi and Chris Bowen
- 34:27Speaker 3: to grandstand on a global platform paid for by the
- 34:31Speaker 3: Australian taxpayer. And of course they make a big deal
- 34:33Speaker 3: of it's going to bring five hundred million dollars worth
- 34:35Speaker 3: of economic activity.
- 34:36Speaker 2: Into the state of South Australia.
- 34:38Speaker 3: Sure, but what is the Australian government promising in terms
- 34:42Speaker 3: of climate financing to other nations in order to qualify
- 34:46Speaker 3: to host this massive junker.
- 34:47Speaker 5: Well, we get to gather around, That's all I care
- 34:49Speaker 5: about it.
- 34:50Speaker 1: We the gather.
- 34:51Speaker 5: And the great environmental thing that Peter Malinowskis did for
- 34:53Speaker 5: South Australia was get the super cars back in Adelaide,
- 34:57Speaker 5: pumping out all that diesel and fumes and stuff. It's fantastic,
- 35:00Speaker 5: isn't it. James mentioned private planes before. One bloke who
- 35:04Speaker 5: recently bought her a private jet was Mike cannon Brooks,
- 35:07Speaker 5: and we know he's a tech billionaire and he's also
- 35:10Speaker 5: big on the eco warrior stuff. That's why he needs
- 35:13Speaker 5: the private jets so he can get around. He reckons
- 35:15Speaker 5: it's carbon neutral the way he runs it. But would
- 35:19Speaker 5: you believe it turns out now that he's been muddying
- 35:22Speaker 5: up the environment, not just with his plane, but on
- 35:25Speaker 5: the land that he owns. He's been doing some works
- 35:28Speaker 5: on his farm and the local landowners around him. Notice
- 35:32Speaker 5: there was all this noise going on, all these earthworks,
- 35:35Speaker 5: and there was contaminated water flowing into their dams and
- 35:39Speaker 5: that's potentially now moving down to reservoirs. So the local
- 35:43Speaker 5: councils got on to him and said, mate, what the
- 35:45Speaker 5: hell are you doing. You're churning up the dirt, You're
- 35:47Speaker 5: sending dirty water down to the reservoirs and into other
- 35:50Speaker 5: people's dams. I mean, he is clearly an environmental warrior.
- 35:55Speaker 5: Everyone else has to do the good environmental work except me.
- 36:00Speaker 6: But this is the thing with the eco warries. It's
- 36:02Speaker 6: the old do as I say, not as I do
- 36:04Speaker 6: kind of attitude. I mean, the man the man flow
- 36:05Speaker 6: a plant private jet recently didn't need to the Grand
- 36:08Speaker 6: Prix in Melbourne. I mean, never mind that the carbon
- 36:11Speaker 6: emissions from the private jet, but you've got to get
- 36:13Speaker 6: to the Grand Prix.
- 36:14Speaker 3: Well, he didn't just fly it to the Grand Prix.
- 36:16Speaker 3: He's got a part stake in a Grand Prix team.
- 36:19Speaker 3: So it's not bad work if you can afford it
- 36:22Speaker 3: and of course to offset the emissions. It's good to
- 36:24Speaker 3: be a billionaire unlike the rest of us. We're going
- 36:27Speaker 3: to go to a break. When we come back, we'll
- 36:28Speaker 3: look at what's making news tomorrow, including a big story
- 36:31Speaker 3: on the front page of The Australian regarding the future
- 36:34Speaker 3: of taxation under a Peter Dutton government that's coming up
- 36:37Speaker 3: in just a moment.
- 36:44Speaker 2: Welcome back.
- 36:45Speaker 3: Well, let's take a look at what's making news in
- 36:46Speaker 3: tomorrow's papers. We'll start with The Australian. Caleb we they've
- 36:49Speaker 3: got a big story on Peter Dutton's aspirations regarding the
- 36:52Speaker 3: taxation system.
- 36:53Speaker 5: Indeed, some actual change, some real policy here.
- 36:58Speaker 1: Thank god it's a bit late anyway.
- 37:00Speaker 5: Peter Dutton has moved to recharge his election campaign with
- 37:04Speaker 5: an aspirational pledge for the indexation of personal income tax
- 37:08Speaker 5: scales to signal his credentials as an economic reformer. The
- 37:12Speaker 5: opposition leader also seed in an exclusive interview with The
- 37:14Speaker 5: Australian at the midpoint of the campaign, I want to
- 37:17Speaker 5: see us move as quickly as we can as a
- 37:20Speaker 5: country to changes around the personal income tax, including indexation,
- 37:25Speaker 5: because bracket creep, as we know, is a killer in
- 37:28Speaker 5: the economy.
- 37:29Speaker 2: He says.
- 37:29Speaker 5: It stifles productivity and entrepreneurialism.
- 37:32Speaker 1: And hard work.
- 37:33Speaker 5: But we need to do it at a time, he says,
- 37:35Speaker 5: where the budget can afford to do so. It would
- 37:38Speaker 5: be an aspiration of our government to achieve that because
- 37:40Speaker 5: it provides equity in the tax system and is costly.
- 37:43Speaker 1: To do so.
- 37:44Speaker 5: So this is the problem, right, He's saying we should
- 37:48Speaker 5: index the tax rate, but we're not going to index
- 37:50Speaker 5: the tax rates until we've paid off all of the debt.
- 37:53Speaker 1: That we have.
- 37:54Speaker 5: Essentially, this is exactly what Malcolm Fraser did in the
- 37:58Speaker 5: late seventies the tax rates and then very quickly found
- 38:03Speaker 5: that he had high debt that he couldn't pay down
- 38:06Speaker 5: because he was getting much less tax than he was before.
- 38:08Speaker 5: And it was either eighty one or eighty two. He
- 38:11Speaker 5: got rid of that and it's not changed since. So look,
- 38:14Speaker 5: I think it's a great policy. Absolutely income text should
- 38:17Speaker 5: be indexed to inflation to stop bracket creep, but it
- 38:21Speaker 5: will be a brave government that actually does.
- 38:23Speaker 7: I agree.
- 38:24Speaker 6: I think it is a very good policy, and I
- 38:25Speaker 6: think finally we're actually seeing something around bracket creep, which
- 38:28Speaker 6: neither party has put on the table thus far. My
- 38:31Speaker 6: only concern is he should have announced this at the
- 38:33Speaker 6: very beginning of the campaign because now he doesn't have
- 38:36Speaker 6: a lot of time to go and sell it. And
- 38:37Speaker 6: don't forget that prepole opens in about a week or
- 38:40Speaker 6: so and there's a lot of people going to the
- 38:42Speaker 6: pre pole to try and win over those undersided voters.
- 38:44Speaker 6: This is a very big cell to put forward to
- 38:47Speaker 6: the Australian people. I wish it would have happened sooner.
- 38:49Speaker 6: He's going to have to try and get this over
- 38:50Speaker 6: in know what. It reminds me of when Scott Morrison,
- 38:53Speaker 6: in the dying days of the campaign last time said oh, well,
- 38:55Speaker 6: if you want to you know, you want to buy home,
- 38:57Speaker 6: you can withdraw from your superannuation.
- 39:00Speaker 7: Again. Great, but it was too late. It was too
- 39:03Speaker 7: late by that point.
- 39:03Speaker 3: So yeah, but your sentiments are reflected on the front
- 39:06Speaker 3: page in the commentary by Paul Kelly. The headline there
- 39:10Speaker 3: reads leader finally flicks the switch and I think, Caleb,
- 39:13Speaker 3: that's what a lot of Conservative voters and supporters of
- 39:17Speaker 3: Peter Dutton have been waiting for. Give us a big
- 39:20Speaker 3: vision that's going to structurally fix the country and set
- 39:23Speaker 3: us up for the future, rather than just tinkering around
- 39:25Speaker 3: the edges. So he's got a couple of weeks to
- 39:28Speaker 3: sell this. It's a big idea and well he needs something,
- 39:33Speaker 3: so it will certainly dominate the news tomorrow.
- 39:35Speaker 1: That's yeah.
- 39:35Speaker 5: And of course the other thing that will come with
- 39:37Speaker 5: it if you want to make it happen, if he
- 39:39Speaker 5: wants to do it in a term of government that
- 39:41Speaker 5: he's leading, is a period of austerity as well, because
- 39:44Speaker 5: you know, he's saying, we've got to get the budget
- 39:46Speaker 5: in a position where we can afford to do this,
- 39:48Speaker 5: and in order to do that, we're hurdling towards the
- 39:51Speaker 5: trillion dollars of debt next year one point two trillion dollars.
- 39:55Speaker 5: So we've got to pull our belts in very tightly
- 39:57Speaker 5: if we want to What is giving us he's giving.
- 39:59Speaker 1: Us, Yeah, exactly, he's.
- 40:02Speaker 2: Looking for it, trying to find it. Whether you want
- 40:04Speaker 2: to take the country.
- 40:05Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's he's been good. I think it's
- 40:08Speaker 1: I think it's very.
- 40:09Speaker 3: His credit on energy, his cast vision in the future.
- 40:13Speaker 3: Now we've got an economic vision that people could get
- 40:15Speaker 3: on board with.
- 40:16Speaker 7: Yeah, but week one, week one, Yeah, where was it
- 40:18Speaker 7: on week one?
- 40:19Speaker 5: It is it is like another story on the front
- 40:21Speaker 5: of the Olds tomorrow. China pools are swifty with nade
- 40:24Speaker 5: in Vietnam.
- 40:25Speaker 1: This is a hilarious story.
- 40:26Speaker 5: It's a Chinese scheme that would see in Donald Trump
- 40:29Speaker 5: and his anti trade hawks apoplectic. A manufacturer of massage
- 40:34Speaker 5: machines and Neie massage and I'm massage and the top
- 40:37Speaker 5: seller in the US a leg massage. Apparently admidst the
- 40:41Speaker 5: US presidents one hundred and forty five percent tariffs on
- 40:43Speaker 5: Chinese exports have created a problem for his factory in
- 40:47Speaker 5: China's southeast.
- 40:48Speaker 1: So what what can I possibly do about this?
- 40:51Speaker 5: He wants to do a deal with a factory in
- 40:54Speaker 5: Vietnam now, but it says will he open a factory
- 40:58Speaker 5: then no, he answers. But even the slightest division. He
- 41:01Speaker 5: intends to sell the Vietnamese partner the finished product, these massages,
- 41:06Speaker 5: which will continue to be made in the same Chinese factory.
- 41:10Speaker 5: Then put it on another container with a stamp that
- 41:13Speaker 5: says made in Vietna.
- 41:17Speaker 1: Great work.
- 41:19Speaker 5: You just sell it to the Vietnamese and then they
- 41:22Speaker 5: say they made it.
- 41:22Speaker 7: That's smart. That's smart marketing.
- 41:24Speaker 3: It's smart marketing until you put it on the front
- 41:26Speaker 3: page of the Australia for everyone to read.
- 41:28Speaker 2: How smart is that?
- 41:29Speaker 1: Not that smart?
- 41:30Speaker 3: I would have thought, let's go to Queensland the Towns
- 41:34Speaker 3: bulletin newspaper. I just like the headline here at where's
- 41:37Speaker 3: Polly to take off? Obviously of where's Wally? With Albanezi
- 41:42Speaker 3: and Dutton in there, Where's Wally? Hats just making the
- 41:44Speaker 3: point that North Queensland feel pretty much ignored during this campaign.
- 41:49Speaker 3: North Queensland has always feel ignored in election campaigns, so
- 41:53Speaker 3: not much new. They're The Cam's Post Staying in North
- 41:56Speaker 3: Queensland has a story on the election campaign in the
- 41:59Speaker 3: ABC's coverage of it. Senator Slam's Public Broadcasters doco on
- 42:03Speaker 3: Kata It's not your ABC, It's Bob's ABC. According to
- 42:08Speaker 3: the Post, the Queensland Senator has called for an investigation
- 42:12Speaker 3: into the ABC's decision to air a documentary profiling Maverick
- 42:16Speaker 3: MP Bob Catter during the federal election campaign, arguing the
- 42:19Speaker 3: public broadcaster had failed.
- 42:20Speaker 2: The integrity test.
- 42:22Speaker 3: But Auntie has hit back declaring there's no likelihood of
- 42:25Speaker 3: mister Catta losing the outback queens And seat to LNP
- 42:28Speaker 3: rival and it's Swain despite having previously lost the popular
- 42:31Speaker 3: vote in twenty thirteen. Now Australian Story went to air
- 42:36Speaker 3: on Monday night and it was a pretty.
- 42:39Speaker 2: Flattering profile of Bob Catter.
- 42:44Speaker 3: What do you think, Danika, is a poor form of
- 42:46Speaker 3: the ABC running that during an election campaign?
- 42:49Speaker 7: Or I mean, look, does it really matter? To be honest?
- 42:52Speaker 7: Is it that really that big of a deal? And
- 42:54Speaker 7: let's be I mean, come, I think this is a
- 42:56Speaker 7: bit of it, a bit up, don't you think?
- 42:57Speaker 5: And they haven't named the senator on the front agent
- 43:00Speaker 5: and the stories have been published ill sweet, so we
- 43:02Speaker 5: don't actually know.
- 43:03Speaker 2: Who it is to see this, But I mean.
- 43:05Speaker 1: You know, how salty do you have to be to
- 43:07Speaker 1: go oh that?
- 43:08Speaker 5: You know Bob Katter, who's been involved in pology, you.
- 43:12Speaker 1: Know, fifty sixty years.
- 43:13Speaker 5: Almost his entire life. He's the father of the House,
- 43:16Speaker 5: the longest serving person in Federal Parliament. Australian Story does
- 43:20Speaker 5: a doco on him.
- 43:22Speaker 1: How dare they do that? That's supporting the Bobcatta campaign?
- 43:26Speaker 5: Does anyone seriously believe that the ABC would be supporting
- 43:29Speaker 5: Bobcatter ramp I think it's a beat. They've done a
- 43:32Speaker 5: doco on someone who's been involved in politics for a
- 43:35Speaker 5: long time.
- 43:36Speaker 1: It's no more, no less.
- 43:37Speaker 7: No I agree.
- 43:38Speaker 6: Well, let's have a look now at the Adelaide Advertiser.
- 43:42Speaker 6: Addict Spears gave cocaine to Speaks. I feel preyed upon,
- 43:45Speaker 6: as the headline. One of the men David Spears supplied
- 43:48Speaker 6: cocaine too, has spoken out to say he felt preyed
- 43:51Speaker 6: upon by the then alternative premier who gave him drugs
- 43:54Speaker 6: despite knowing he was a recovering drug addict.
- 43:57Speaker 7: Addict.
- 43:58Speaker 6: Peter Zubik twenty eight, who met Spears when he was
- 44:01Speaker 6: fifteen through their mutual church, said at one meeting at
- 44:04Speaker 6: Spears's home that then opposition leader snorted a high a
- 44:08Speaker 6: lot of high purity cocaine. Mister Zoobik has also revealed
- 44:11Speaker 6: a stream of Instagram messages from Spears in which he.
- 44:14Speaker 7: Talks about drug use and sex.
- 44:15Speaker 6: I feel taken advantage of, He's told The Adelaide Advertiser.
- 44:18Speaker 6: I was at about one hundred days clean at the
- 44:21Speaker 6: time of seeing him. Look, we know that this is
- 44:26Speaker 6: a long a long way. This the story has got
- 44:30Speaker 6: a long way to go, clearly for David Spears here
- 44:32Speaker 6: remember initially he said it was deep fakes.
- 44:34Speaker 1: And that's the thing.
- 44:37Speaker 5: And this is a thing if you are a politician,
- 44:40Speaker 5: the opposition leader know, list just keep your powder dry,
- 44:45Speaker 5: it would you know? Obviously these are allegations on the
- 44:48Speaker 5: front of the paper tomorrow, but I just I just
- 44:51Speaker 5: spear for the Liberal Party in South Australia and plenty
- 44:54Speaker 5: of other people as well, that this is the quality
- 44:56Speaker 5: they ended up with. Let's go to the front of
- 44:58Speaker 5: the Herald's sun where it says tomorrow Election twenty twenty
- 45:00Speaker 5: five Lives promise two hundred and sixty million dollars for
- 45:03Speaker 5: new tech colleges.
- 45:04Speaker 1: Good stuff.
- 45:05Speaker 5: This I think teen head starts the headline. The Coalition
- 45:08Speaker 5: has promised two hundred and sixty million to build twelve
- 45:11Speaker 5: new technical colleges to turbo charge the nation's skills pipeline
- 45:15Speaker 5: if it wins government on May three. Dutton says he
- 45:18Speaker 5: wants to see more young Australians learn a trade. A
- 45:21Speaker 5: national network, he says, of Australian technical colleges will help
- 45:24Speaker 5: skill the next generation of workers.
- 45:26Speaker 1: We need to build.
- 45:27Speaker 5: More homes and infrastructure here here. I don't know why
- 45:32Speaker 5: we've been without them for so long. I mean it
- 45:35Speaker 5: used to be in my grandparents' day that if you
- 45:38Speaker 5: got to high school were often you didn't, but if
- 45:40Speaker 5: you got to high school, you went to an academic
- 45:42Speaker 5: high school, or you went to a technical high school.
- 45:45Speaker 1: At some point we got rid of all the tech.
- 45:47Speaker 5: Schools, and then we wonder why we've got kids who
- 45:49Speaker 5: come out of UNI with a BA degree and can't
- 45:51Speaker 5: get a job because we're not setting them up for
- 45:53Speaker 5: the jobs they should be taken.
- 45:54Speaker 3: And we're desperate for tradesmen so much so that many
- 45:57Speaker 3: people believe we should import them from overseas. There's plenty
- 46:00Speaker 3: of young people's a lot of young boys, especially as
- 46:03Speaker 3: a father, boys they want to be involved in a trade.
- 46:06Speaker 3: Make it available to them. It'll benefit the country. We're
- 46:09Speaker 3: going to go to a break.
- 46:09Speaker 2: When we come back.
- 46:11Speaker 3: Supermodel Tyra Banks from the US are set up home
- 46:14Speaker 3: in Australia.
- 46:15Speaker 2: We'll tell you why in just a moment.
- 46:20Speaker 3: Welcome back, we'll Celebrity model Tyra Banks has been living
- 46:23Speaker 3: with her family in Australia for a number of months now,
- 46:26Speaker 3: and she's finally revealed on American television why.
- 46:29Speaker 2: She loves Australia so much.
- 46:31Speaker 3: It's got nothing to do with running away from Donald
- 46:33Speaker 3: Trump and everything to do with well, take a listen.
- 46:37Speaker 13: I just fell in love with it every time I
- 46:39Speaker 13: went back and went back and the three countries that
- 46:42Speaker 13: make them that eat the most ice cream, Yes, America, Yes,
- 46:44Speaker 13: New Zealand and Australia. So I was like, I'm happy
- 46:47Speaker 13: here and they love to eat some ice cream. So
- 46:49Speaker 13: are we gonna do this family?
- 46:50Speaker 1: And we did.
- 46:51Speaker 7: That is amazing.
- 46:54Speaker 3: Based on that, I'm expecting Joe Biden to become Australia
- 46:58Speaker 3: anytime now. Actually watch he does. Is She's got a
- 47:01Speaker 3: brand of ice cream. They supply cruise ships and aeroplanes
- 47:05Speaker 3: and a lot of it is manufactured in Australia.
- 47:08Speaker 2: So she's just decided to be close to her business.
- 47:10Speaker 3: It's got nothing to do with the fact that Australians
- 47:13Speaker 3: just have great ice cream.
- 47:14Speaker 5: That is what but Albo was talking about when he
- 47:18Speaker 5: said future made in Australia ice cream.
- 47:21Speaker 6: Manucaps sorry board somebody with an Italian background. I'm highly
- 47:25Speaker 6: offended by this chat. If you want good ice cream,
- 47:27Speaker 6: you need to go to Italy.
- 47:28Speaker 7: Do not come to Australia with.
- 47:29Speaker 1: The carbon footprint of going to Italy. Do eat ice cream.
- 47:32Speaker 6: I by Cadam Brook's all right, can't itself out now? Look,
- 47:36Speaker 6: we've got to look at Democratic Representative Alexandria Occasio Cortez.
- 47:41Speaker 6: You know the one she said, Look, she's got a
- 47:43Speaker 6: mind of her own, that one. But now she's unveiled
- 47:46Speaker 6: a new accent straight out of the Kamala Harris playbook.
- 47:49Speaker 7: Here she is at a rally.
- 47:51Speaker 14: Donald Trump is a criminal who was found guilty of
- 47:56Speaker 14: thirty four felony.
- 47:58Speaker 7: Counts, Haprah liable for sexual abuse.
- 48:06Speaker 14: Of course he's lying, I'm abusing, am manipulating the stock market.
- 48:11Speaker 6: Too, too awful?
- 48:17Speaker 5: What is that?
- 48:18Speaker 7: That is straight from Kamala Harris.
- 48:20Speaker 6: She's clearly spent too much time with the words salad
- 48:22Speaker 6: queen herself.
- 48:23Speaker 3: Help me out, though, which accent is she trying to emulate?
- 48:26Speaker 3: Exactly the mixtures?
