Speaker 1: Jeez, is the bold reform it?
0:16
Speaker 2: Tonight, Energy Minister Chris Bone humiliated as his green hydrogen
0:21
Speaker 2: scheme hits the wall. I'll go through the astonishing list
0:24
Speaker 2: of his other green disaces and you will wonder why
0:28
Speaker 2: is this man still in a job? Also tonight, why
0:32
Speaker 2: are we having to airlift astrain Lebanese from Lebanon And
0:34
Speaker 2: they won't even help themselves. And the government still insists
0:38
Speaker 2: Israel negotiate with these Iranian politicians after they fired one
0:43
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty one missiles on Tuesday to kill Jews. Now,
0:56
Speaker 2: if you think all that's mad, I'll show you how
0:58
Speaker 2: Iran's top general fire had.
1:00
Speaker 1: Those missiles at Israel. It is creepy.
1:04
Speaker 2: And the Prime Minister gets involved in checking how much
1:06
Speaker 2: stuff is in a cereal box.
1:09
Speaker 3: It's called shrink flation.
1:14
Speaker 1: Plenty more too.
1:15
Speaker 2: But first, I've been sent some advice by the Australians,
1:20
Speaker 2: by the Australian National Imams Council.
1:22
Speaker 1: It's very interesting.
1:25
Speaker 2: No one in this country represents more Muslim groups than
1:29
Speaker 2: these guys, more than three hundred mums and Islamic organizations.
1:33
Speaker 2: And this advice that've sent me, and I'm sure sent
1:36
Speaker 2: other journalists too, is to supposedly help me in my
1:40
Speaker 2: commentary with October, this han't coming up on Monday, and
1:44
Speaker 2: that's the day, of course, the year ago that this
1:46
Speaker 2: war in the Middle East started. That's the day when Hamas,
1:49
Speaker 2: Terris and Gaza invaded Israel and slaughtered twelve hundred Jews,
1:53
Speaker 2: most of them civilians, going from house to house, shooting
1:56
Speaker 2: them burning. I went to one of the kabbutza's they hit,
1:59
Speaker 2: and to the field where people at a music festival.
2:02
Speaker 1: Hunted down young kids.
2:04
Speaker 2: And then there were the rapes, the beheadings, the kidnapping
2:06
Speaker 2: of two hundred and fifty one people. But back to
2:09
Speaker 2: the Immum Council's advice and how I should cover this
2:12
Speaker 2: very sensitive day of very kind of them. Mind you,
2:18
Speaker 2: I did think that I would read here that they
2:22
Speaker 2: want me to say that, you know, these zimums and
2:25
Speaker 2: these multon groups, they want me to say that they
2:27
Speaker 2: are devastated by that mass murder of the innocent. I
2:31
Speaker 2: thought they might say, look, could you please tell your
2:34
Speaker 2: viewers that no true Mulsom would murder children like that,
2:38
Speaker 2: would throw grenades, and unarmed teenagers at a music festival
2:41
Speaker 2: would kidnap even babies. But reading this, I don't see
2:48
Speaker 2: a single mention at all of any sympathy for the
2:51
Speaker 2: dead of October seven.
2:52
Speaker 1: In fact, when I go through all.
2:55
Speaker 2: The council's media releases on his website, I see not
2:58
Speaker 2: one expressing pity or horror.
3:01
Speaker 1: Instead, the very.
3:02
Speaker 2: First press release in the Unmans Council issued after October seventh,
3:05
Speaker 2: the very day after, was actually headed the MUMS Council
3:09
Speaker 2: supports the Palastinian people's right for self determination and opposes
3:14
Speaker 2: the unjust and unlawful occupation of them. It ran almost
3:19
Speaker 2: like the MUMS supported the October seven attack, or at
3:22
Speaker 2: least wouldn't condemn it. And indeed, here is how the
3:27
Speaker 2: Islamic Council of Victoria earlier this year talked about that horror.
3:32
Speaker 4: We denounce any violence and killing of civilians. What we
3:36
Speaker 4: don't denounce very clearly is legitimate BacT to resistance and
3:40
Speaker 4: for the Palestinians to rise up on October seventh and
3:44
Speaker 4: say we're no longer going to tolerate this sieves this occupation,
3:48
Speaker 4: that's legitimate.
3:51
Speaker 1: Hmmm, So that terror attack was actually a rising up.
3:55
Speaker 2: But are we actually surprised now when we see Sydney mosque,
4:00
Speaker 2: for instance, packed with mourners for the head of the
4:03
Speaker 2: Hesbealah terrorist group who was assassinated last Friday by Israel.
4:09
Speaker 2: So what advice do these m ms give me? Well,
4:15
Speaker 2: I see that I've already made a mistake tonight, just
4:19
Speaker 2: a minute ago when I said that this latest war
4:21
Speaker 2: started in October seventh, since there hadn't that's what I thought,
4:24
Speaker 2: because there hadn't actually been a war for months, even
4:26
Speaker 2: years before that day. It was some US that sort
4:29
Speaker 2: of ended all that. Well, it seems imms actually want
4:34
Speaker 2: me to say to you the context that this comes
4:40
Speaker 2: after seventy seven years of history between the Pales and Israel,
4:44
Speaker 2: As if I don't know, maybe that somehow explains or
4:47
Speaker 2: excuses suddenly US terrorists raping and murdering and shooting kids
4:54
Speaker 2: at a music festival. That's all to be explained as
4:59
Speaker 2: the context Jews having their heads hacked off, right, one
5:03
Speaker 2: teenage girl having a broken body driven through Gaza with
5:06
Speaker 2: Palestinians hitting and spitting at it and seeing so vile
5:09
Speaker 2: I can't show them on TV. And the Imams also
5:14
Speaker 2: want it noted that in the year since October seven,
5:19
Speaker 2: they're victims. They are victims, victims of Islamophobia, although again,
5:26
Speaker 2: to be honest, you know, I do think the Jews
5:29
Speaker 2: here have had a lot more reason to be terrified.
5:31
Speaker 2: I mean, just last week there were protesters in Melbourne
5:34
Speaker 2: streets shouting in Arabic the Kaiba kaba yah yahood chant
5:38
Speaker 2: which is made popular by Hamas, that threat that the
5:42
Speaker 2: army of Muhammad is going to come for every Jew,
5:45
Speaker 2: every yahood. And really, with scenes like that, and we've
5:58
Speaker 2: seen a fear bit of stuff on our streets, with
6:02
Speaker 2: so many Muslim groups even refusing to condemn the October
6:04
Speaker 2: seven horror, can it be surprised that there is this Islamophobia,
6:11
Speaker 2: which properly translated is a fear of Islam.
6:15
Speaker 1: And so to the.
6:16
Speaker 2: Imam's Council, I would say this some humanity, some expression
6:22
Speaker 2: of pity in your advice, pity for the victims. They
6:28
Speaker 2: would have done the image of Islam in this country
6:30
Speaker 2: so much more good. Now to Chris Bowen, has there
6:39
Speaker 2: ever been a more dangerous and incompetent energy minister? Is
6:42
Speaker 2: there any minister in this alban eezy gum with such
6:45
Speaker 2: a record of almost total failure? Almost every month, another
6:50
Speaker 2: one of Boone's global warming schemes sits the wall, taking
6:53
Speaker 2: our money with it. And now one of the most
6:56
Speaker 2: serious Origin Energy has just said it is scrapping its plan.
7:00
Speaker 2: Thought green hydrogen, that's a gas made by running lots
7:03
Speaker 2: of wind solar power through water. It's quitting the planned
7:06
Speaker 2: green hydrogen hub that Bowen and Primus alban EASi had
7:10
Speaker 2: planned for the Hunter Valley so that coal miners at
7:13
Speaker 2: least would have green jobs instead.
7:17
Speaker 3: I see the Hunter as potentially a green hydrogen powerhouse
7:21
Speaker 3: for Australia and the world.
7:26
Speaker 2: Bowen had even promised seventy million dollars for this hub.
7:30
Speaker 2: It's part of the government's two billion dollar hydrogen headstart scheme.
7:34
Speaker 1: But now it looks dead.
7:35
Speaker 2: I mean, Origin's boss Frank Calabria reckons there's no money
7:39
Speaker 2: in this hydrogen. Bowen once though, thought that green hydrogen
7:44
Speaker 2: was the gas that would save Australia as we got
7:47
Speaker 2: rid of coal fired power stations, would give us a
7:49
Speaker 2: green energy future.
7:52
Speaker 3: Our green hydrogen future is fundamental to that clean energy future.
7:59
Speaker 2: Well if it's fundamental to Bone's plans, and then those
8:02
Speaker 2: plans are toast I mean, look around. Bowen also promised
8:07
Speaker 2: money this year for a green hydrogen hub in Tasmania.
8:11
Speaker 5: Our government wants Australia to be a hydrogen superpower, a
8:16
Speaker 5: green hydrogen superpower.
8:19
Speaker 2: That one also looks cooked. Since then, Woodside Energy has
8:22
Speaker 2: joined Andrew forrest Ford Eskew in walking out on that
8:27
Speaker 2: scheme down in Tasmania.
8:29
Speaker 1: No money in it for them.
8:31
Speaker 2: Another green hydrogen project in Wayala Well, the Federal governor
8:35
Speaker 2: is spending the first two hundred million.
8:37
Speaker 1: Dollars on this greening the steel steel Works and Paul.
8:41
Speaker 2: Kemble and Wayala Well that was also backed by Bone
8:44
Speaker 2: that looks now in huge trouble as the steel works
8:48
Speaker 2: there the main customers had some closures recently has had
8:52
Speaker 2: trouble paying its bills, putting the state government in a panic.
8:55
Speaker 2: What are we going to do if it shuts? What
8:59
Speaker 2: green project back by Boone hasn't been in strife.
9:02
Speaker 1: I mean.
9:04
Speaker 2: His rollout of wind and solar factories and transmission slides
9:07
Speaker 2: that's late or work way of a budget. His plan
9:09
Speaker 2: to get companies to build solar paneltyre also in trouble.
9:12
Speaker 2: His target to get a strengths to buy more electric
9:15
Speaker 2: cars in huge problems as well. He's had to in
9:18
Speaker 2: fact drop his target of having electric cars make up
9:21
Speaker 2: eighty nine percent of the new cars sold by the
9:23
Speaker 2: end of this decade because they're just not selling. The
9:25
Speaker 2: plan was always nuts. Everything Bowen touches seems to turn
9:30
Speaker 2: to murder. I mean, he promised to cut your electricity
9:33
Speaker 2: bills by two undred and seventy five dollars, as you know,
9:36
Speaker 2: have actually exploded. Instead, he promised to run the new
9:39
Speaker 2: Curry Curry gas plant in New South Wales and green
9:42
Speaker 2: Hundregen planned operators told him.
9:44
Speaker 1: Can't be done.
9:45
Speaker 2: It's almost funny. At the start of August. Last August,
9:50
Speaker 2: Bowen said he'd give Ampole one hundred million dollars to
9:53
Speaker 2: build two hundred new charging stations for electric cars by
9:57
Speaker 2: the end of the year.
9:58
Speaker 1: It took just two weeks for.
10:00
Speaker 2: Ramp I will come back to him and say, look, sorry, boss,
10:02
Speaker 2: it's technically impossible without a massive upgrade of our power system.
10:08
Speaker 1: And it goes on and on.
10:10
Speaker 2: Bowen even had a plan to spend nearly two million
10:14
Speaker 2: dollars to help invent a new renewable fuel for airplanes
10:18
Speaker 2: again to cut emissions.
10:20
Speaker 6: We know the opportunities are enormous for Australia and New
10:22
Speaker 6: Zealand to be key parts of the supply chain for
10:26
Speaker 6: sustainable aviation fuel across not just our region but the world.
10:33
Speaker 2: But on that very same day, Air New Zealand said
10:37
Speaker 2: it was actually dropping its emissions targets because the fuel
10:41
Speaker 2: would just cost too much. This is a spectacular record
10:48
Speaker 2: of failure and you have to ask, how can someone
10:53
Speaker 2: so incompetent, so blinded by his green ideology.
10:58
Speaker 7: With a record of unadulterated failure, virtually be in charge
11:04
Speaker 7: of our power supply, destroying a coal fire power system
11:07
Speaker 7: that works with dodgy schemes green hydrogen that simply are
11:12
Speaker 7: not working.
11:13
Speaker 2: Bowen has to be fired before he kills this economy company.
11:23
Speaker 2: Joining me is our regular on Thursdays. Barnaby Jewyce, the
11:27
Speaker 2: Nationals frontbencher and former Deputy Prime Minister. Barnaby Joyce, thanks
11:32
Speaker 2: for joining me again. Yet another crispone scheme going down
11:36
Speaker 2: in flames. This time is planned to turn the Hunter
11:39
Speaker 2: Valley into a green hydrogen harb.
11:42
Speaker 1: What does that tell you, Well, we've seen it.
11:46
Speaker 8: We've got the completely unreliable intermittent powers being backed up
11:51
Speaker 8: by the mythical green hydrogen, and it's becoming more.
11:54
Speaker 1: Mythical by the date.
11:55
Speaker 8: It's almost made its way into the Dungeons and Cave
11:59
Speaker 8: and of the Hobbit movie with the dragon there. That's
12:03
Speaker 8: the mythical green hydrogen we've had mister Andrew forres he's
12:07
Speaker 8: pulled the.
12:07
Speaker 1: Pin on it.
12:08
Speaker 8: After rowling from the rooftops about the virtues of green hydrogen.
12:11
Speaker 8: He just pulled the pin and wandered off. And now
12:14
Speaker 8: Fank Collabor he's pulled the pin for the sake of
12:18
Speaker 8: Origin Energy's share price and wandered off. And mister Bowen
12:22
Speaker 8: standing there with his Genkov report, which says unreliable intermit
12:27
Speaker 8: of power swindle factories, wind towers, solar panels will be
12:31
Speaker 8: backed up by green hydrogen. Green Hydrogen's gone. So I
12:36
Speaker 8: don't know, folks. You just keep on paying through the nose,
12:40
Speaker 8: keep on paying through your power bill. Sooner or later
12:43
Speaker 8: this cult has an epiphany and people realize.
12:47
Speaker 1: That it just does not work.
12:49
Speaker 8: And it sounds like the boffins, the accountants in the
12:53
Speaker 8: major companies in Origin and in Fordescu have already worked
12:57
Speaker 8: that out and they are actually in favor of this.
13:00
Speaker 8: So good luck with you.
13:04
Speaker 2: I find it astonishing. His list of dud projects, now,
13:08
Speaker 2: Chris Bones is so long that I wonder if he's
13:12
Speaker 2: got any idea at all what is doing. And to
13:16
Speaker 2: think that our power system is in the hands of
13:18
Speaker 2: that man is just frightening.
13:20
Speaker 1: Barnaby. The Albinizi Governmany yesterday refused to.
13:23
Speaker 2: Support Israel firing back after Iran on Tuesday fire at
13:28
Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty one missiles at it. Today, the
13:31
Speaker 2: Foreign Minister and the Defensive Minister they both said, oh, no, no, no,
13:35
Speaker 2: we do support Israel's right to defend itself. But once
13:38
Speaker 2: again both then said it shouldn't have Listen.
13:43
Speaker 9: We'm not about to deny country's rights to defend themselves.
13:49
Speaker 9: That said, we have added our voice to an international
13:53
Speaker 9: call led by the United States for a twenty one
13:57
Speaker 9: day ceasefire. This is the mid for diplomacy.
14:02
Speaker 10: Israel has a right to defend itself against these attacks.
14:05
Speaker 10: We have virtual parties to show restrain and de escalate
14:09
Speaker 10: Baaby Jewous.
14:10
Speaker 1: There you have it again.
14:11
Speaker 2: This government says that Israel has a right to defend itself,
14:15
Speaker 2: but still can't think of any way it's done that
14:19
Speaker 2: that it can actually approve of.
14:23
Speaker 1: Well.
14:23
Speaker 8: I think the first thing here, Andrew, is so that
14:26
Speaker 8: everybody understands how dangerous.
14:27
Speaker 1: This situation is.
14:29
Speaker 8: We know we have the propensity for two possible nuclear
14:35
Speaker 8: adversaries to start a war, and that would be devastating
14:39
Speaker 8: for everybody, for the whole world if that came to
14:44
Speaker 8: its atrocious and fulsome realization, mind you to de escalate.
14:51
Speaker 8: It helps if you do not send one hundred and
14:52
Speaker 8: eighty missiles into another democratic count, to a democratic country.
14:58
Speaker 1: Which is Israel.
14:58
Speaker 8: We always forget that democratic country in its Kanesset, it
15:02
Speaker 8: has both Jewish members of the Kanesseiate, it also has
15:05
Speaker 8: Arab members of the Kanessant has Christian members of the Kanesssidan,
15:09
Speaker 8: and has Islamic members of the Kannesset. And the Iran
15:14
Speaker 8: has fired missiles into Israel. Israel did not fire missiles
15:20
Speaker 8: into Iran. Hezbah is a terrorist organization and has been
15:25
Speaker 8: firing missiles in to Israel in breach of United Nations.
15:30
Speaker 1: We all believe in the.
15:30
Speaker 8: United Nations Resolutions seventeen oh one that said they had
15:34
Speaker 8: to diamor that that has to be demilitarized the southern
15:38
Speaker 8: part of Lebanon.
15:39
Speaker 1: They've forgotten all about that.
15:40
Speaker 8: Hamas on the seventh October last year, invaded Israel, murdering raping, beheading,
15:49
Speaker 8: killing men, women and children. This is the essence of
15:53
Speaker 8: what is happening here. Israel was invaded and it started
15:56
Speaker 8: a war. Now, if people want things to escalate, then
16:01
Speaker 8: you have to start with the producteurs and that in
16:05
Speaker 8: this instance is Iran. It fired the missiles, and of
16:09
Speaker 8: course they've got one part right. Israel is allowed to
16:13
Speaker 8: defend itself. And if it's saying someone is firing missiles
16:16
Speaker 8: at us, we.
16:17
Speaker 1: Have to stop that.
16:19
Speaker 8: We have to stop that by whatever mechanism allows us
16:22
Speaker 8: to stop our own people in this democratic country called
16:26
Speaker 8: Israel being killed by those missiles's.
16:31
Speaker 1: And we all wanted to stop. There's no problems about that.
16:34
Speaker 1: We all wanted to stop.
16:35
Speaker 8: Nobody is wanting innocent people to be killed. It's an
16:40
Speaker 8: anathema to us.
16:41
Speaker 5: But this.
16:44
Speaker 8: Is a witch's brew which was not concocted by Israel.
16:51
Speaker 8: It was concocted by first of all, terrorists and then
16:54
Speaker 8: backed up by Iran.
16:57
Speaker 1: Yeah.
16:57
Speaker 2: If that's the case, barnaby, why is Why is the
17:01
Speaker 2: Foreign Minister Penny Wong forever criticizing Israel and by my
17:04
Speaker 2: count probably criticized the Iran what accounting today about four
17:09
Speaker 2: times five times in the last year. I mean, when
17:12
Speaker 2: it's the provocateur, it's provoking this. It's funded and armed
17:18
Speaker 2: Hesbalah and Hamas and fired rockets, itself funded the Huti Rebels.
17:24
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just astonishing. This government's blindness to what's
17:28
Speaker 2: going on is disgusting.
17:29
Speaker 1: But Toby, there's yet another scandal in.
17:32
Speaker 2: The Greens involving allegations of staff being treated badly. This
17:36
Speaker 2: time it's Derinda Cox, Senator Cox accused of bullying and
17:41
Speaker 2: other bad behaviors.
17:42
Speaker 1: She's lost twenty staff in.
17:44
Speaker 2: Three years for Greens lead down and band walked out
17:47
Speaker 2: of a press conference the day after a barrage of questions.
17:51
Speaker 8: Then, of course, of course we will take these on board.
17:54
Speaker 1: It's up to this is the system that has been
17:58
Speaker 1: set up. Thanks everyone for having the things. What is
18:05
Speaker 1: it with the Greens? Are they a party of big
18:08
Speaker 1: hugs and love?
18:11
Speaker 8: Adam, Let the light shine in. It's the best form
18:15
Speaker 8: of disinfectant.
18:15
Speaker 1: Isn't it that the light shine in?
18:17
Speaker 8: Adam, and tell us what is going on in that
18:19
Speaker 8: shooting gallery otherwise known as certain Greens offices where twenty
18:23
Speaker 8: staff My gosh, that's really up there. This is the
18:28
Speaker 8: hypocrisy of the Greens. First of all, they're not green.
18:31
Speaker 8: That was Bob Brown's time. Now they're sort of quasi
18:35
Speaker 8: radical left wing group, which obviously in their sort of
18:38
Speaker 8: a radical fringe dwelling at times irrational, that's certainly abrasive.
18:45
Speaker 1: Nature is not only goes.
18:47
Speaker 8: Towards the public, it also goes towards people working.
18:50
Speaker 1: In their own offices.
18:52
Speaker 8: And you know you saw it, Adam, just the questions
18:55
Speaker 8: too hard and the honorable, the righteous, the rage against
18:59
Speaker 8: impier Mariam Greens. He said, no, don't want to answer
19:02
Speaker 8: questions about ourselves, just wander off. We only drop buckets
19:07
Speaker 8: on other people. We don't talk about the problems in
19:10
Speaker 8: our own backyard.
19:11
Speaker 2: Oh, they're so secretive. They are so secretive. It's a
19:15
Speaker 2: real kabbal there, Barnaby. It's a cult like thing, you know,
19:20
Speaker 2: And they escape a lot of scrutiny from the media
19:22
Speaker 2: as a consequence. Barnaby, Joyce, thank you so much for
19:24
Speaker 2: your time.
19:27
Speaker 8: Always a pleasure, Andrew, always a pleasure.
19:30
Speaker 2: After the break, there's a big lesson for us from
19:33
Speaker 2: these wars in Ukraine and Israel. Big lesson. If you
19:37
Speaker 2: want to save ourselves. I'm going to talk to the
19:38
Speaker 2: head of a weapons company who's been trying to warn
19:40
Speaker 2: us about this four years.
19:46
Speaker 11: Now.
19:46
Speaker 2: A month ago, federal court judge made an astonishing decision.
19:50
Speaker 2: He ruled, you can change your sex, you can take
19:53
Speaker 2: some drugs, togin of the surgeon, go to work, and bingo,
19:56
Speaker 2: a man really could be a woman instead. And he
19:59
Speaker 2: said that that meant that a female only networking app
20:02
Speaker 2: called Giggle that was meant to be a sort of
20:06
Speaker 2: a safe space for biological women, had broken the law
20:10
Speaker 2: by telling a transgender activist called Roxantickle that he or
20:14
Speaker 2: she couldn't join up. I said then that this decision
20:18
Speaker 2: was so wrong that it had to be appealed to
20:20
Speaker 2: the High Court, and now it will be. Now we've
20:24
Speaker 2: pulled out because this is late breaking news sort of.
20:27
Speaker 2: We pulled out from a seapack pre conference. The head
20:31
Speaker 2: of Giggle, Sal Grover, she's at this pre conference, a
20:36
Speaker 2: pre event conference in Brisbane and it'll be broadcast the
20:40
Speaker 2: conference with broadcast live on Outsiders on Sunday. Sal Grover,
20:44
Speaker 2: thank you so much for dashing out to give us
20:47
Speaker 2: a bit of your time. You're appealing to the High Court.
20:49
Speaker 2: What is your argument?
20:52
Speaker 12: Thank you so much for having me. I'm so sorry
20:53
Speaker 12: that I know in this environment. But so we're actually
20:57
Speaker 12: first of all appealing to the full venture of the
21:00
Speaker 12: Federal court, so that is happening. The appeal was filed
21:04
Speaker 12: this week, so we're sort of hitting the ground running
21:08
Speaker 12: and the case will be heard sometime next year. And
21:12
Speaker 12: your argument is so the argument is, basically, the judge
21:17
Speaker 12: has said that sex is changeable. The ordinary meaning of
21:20
Speaker 12: sex is that it's changeable, and he's based this decision
21:24
Speaker 12: off three cases over the past thirty years that just
21:27
Speaker 12: involved individuals in the pre same sex marriage world. Now, obviously,
21:32
Speaker 12: in all of our lives, the ordinary meaning of sex
21:35
Speaker 12: is not that it's changeable. We're completely aware that males
21:37
Speaker 12: are males and females are females, and nobody changes sex,
21:40
Speaker 12: and so it's really important that the law actually reflects
21:43
Speaker 12: reality and the ordinary meaning of sex and reality is
21:46
Speaker 12: that it's biological, not legal. So we're going in there
21:50
Speaker 12: to say that you can't base, you can't basically legislate
21:54
Speaker 12: a lie and enforce a lie on other people and
21:56
Speaker 12: force other people to say that men are women, because
22:00
Speaker 12: this effects not only female spaces and sports, so women's rights,
22:03
Speaker 12: but this is also freedom of belief.
22:05
Speaker 11: This is freedom of speech.
22:06
Speaker 12: I mean, everybody knows what happens if you, you know,
22:08
Speaker 12: use the wrong pronouns to someone at work or whatever
22:11
Speaker 12: environment you're in. So this is an issue that is
22:14
Speaker 12: affecting people more and more around the country and it's
22:17
Speaker 12: time that there was actual change. And so we're going
22:20
Speaker 12: to do our absolute best and if need be, we
22:22
Speaker 12: will go to the High Court with a constitutional challenge
22:25
Speaker 12: to say repeal the amendments that Julia Gillard brought in
22:28
Speaker 12: in twenty thirteen.
22:30
Speaker 2: Just finally, sal Grove, thank you so much for dashing
22:34
Speaker 2: out for this. But this obviously is going to These
22:37
Speaker 2: appeals are costing you an and a leg.
22:40
Speaker 1: How can people help you? Thank you?
22:42
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean the Federal court case that we just
22:45
Speaker 12: did that was five hundred thousand dollars. This next one,
22:48
Speaker 12: if we go to the High Court, will be it'll
22:50
Speaker 12: be like eight hundred thousand dollars in total on top
22:52
Speaker 12: of that initial five hundred thousand. So it's it is
22:55
Speaker 12: very expensive, but it's very necessary because for you know,
22:58
Speaker 12: as I said, freedom of speech and Figma belief, but
23:00
Speaker 12: also you know, our women's rights and our daughters. So
23:03
Speaker 12: we have a crowdfund at giggle crowdfund dot com where
23:06
Speaker 12: there's more information about the case and where we are
23:09
Speaker 12: just sort of gladly accepting the support of people all
23:12
Speaker 12: Australia and the world and we're very very grateful for it.
23:16
Speaker 1: What did you say, giggle giggle crowdfunds.
23:19
Speaker 12: Do you say it again, giggle crowdfund?
23:22
Speaker 2: Good luck as it's al Grove, a very important case.
23:26
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for your time.
23:28
Speaker 1: Thank you.
23:29
Speaker 2: If there's one thing that the wars in Israel and
23:33
Speaker 2: Ukraine are teaching us is that you really do have
23:35
Speaker 2: to build your key weapons yourself. It is just too
23:39
Speaker 2: dangerous to hope that other countries will keep sending you
23:42
Speaker 2: the weapons that you want when you most need them.
23:47
Speaker 2: I mean, is Ukraine faces well, just a catastrophe. If
23:51
Speaker 2: Donald Trump is elected president says no to more weapons
23:56
Speaker 2: for Ukraine as it threatened, I don't know, maybe change
24:00
Speaker 2: his mind. Israel that's frantically building its own weapons now,
24:05
Speaker 2: with more countries like Australia to our shame saying no,
24:09
Speaker 2: we will not send them or sell them any weapons.
24:13
Speaker 1: One weapons of.
24:14
Speaker 2: Manufacturer in Australia has been warning us for years to
24:17
Speaker 2: build up our own defense industry, but hasn't been getting
24:21
Speaker 2: that far, not with this government, maybe not with past governments.
24:24
Speaker 2: That companies defend texts. It's based in Dandenong, Victoria, and
24:29
Speaker 2: it builds all sorts of weapons, much of it for exports,
24:31
Speaker 2: including precision guarded weapons, missile defense, robotic weapons, platforms and more.
24:38
Speaker 2: Its head is Travis Ready. Travis, thank you so much
24:42
Speaker 2: for your time. What is the problem that you see?
24:47
Speaker 13: Well, simply put, Australia has both the advantage and disadvantage
24:51
Speaker 13: of being an island. The advantage being that that gives
24:54
Speaker 13: us an a sc gap which allows us to defend ourselves,
24:57
Speaker 13: but it also means it's very difficult for our allies
24:59
Speaker 13: to be able to resupplier some times of need. So
25:02
Speaker 13: the assumption that the advanced weapons that we currently use
25:06
Speaker 13: will be able to be resupplied by the Americans and
25:08
Speaker 13: our European allies in a time of war where the
25:11
Speaker 13: party we're potentially in conflict with sits directly between us
25:15
Speaker 13: and that resupply route creates a complex environment, and it's
25:19
Speaker 13: not assured that those weapons can be resupplied not on
25:22
Speaker 13: day one or day two, but on week six, week eight,
25:26
Speaker 13: week ten of the conflict. We need to be able
25:27
Speaker 13: to continually resupply and the best way to do that
25:31
Speaker 13: is to be able to manufacture those weapons here in Australia.
25:35
Speaker 2: Well that makes so much sense because I've often said
25:39
Speaker 2: China will not invader, so they just need to check
25:41
Speaker 2: off our shipping lanes. Will be out of petrol in
25:44
Speaker 2: a few weeks, no worries. And then now you say
25:48
Speaker 2: weapons as well, what have you tried to do about this?
25:54
Speaker 13: So the challenge here is to develop the industrial base
25:58
Speaker 13: thats required and to go and the knowledge and experience
26:01
Speaker 13: that's needed to build these complex weapons. And again that
26:05
Speaker 13: there's two schools of thought. We can either license those
26:07
Speaker 13: designs from the US, which is our key supplier of ammunition,
26:12
Speaker 13: or we can develop our own completely sovereign equivalents that
26:16
Speaker 13: we can use. Now my preference obviously is to have.
26:21
Speaker 1: Children, particularly company if you tried anything.
26:25
Speaker 13: Absolutely So we've been building asymmetric warfare capabilities, which is
26:30
Speaker 13: you know that the many and the cheap against the
26:32
Speaker 13: few and the expensive. So we've been designing, developing and
26:36
Speaker 13: manufacturing different types of novel munitions, lagering munitions, drones, those
26:40
Speaker 13: kind of things from early on for the last ten years,
26:44
Speaker 13: and as that process has expanded, and as the nature
26:47
Speaker 13: of war has changed, we continue to evolve to try
26:51
Speaker 13: to provide the most relevant things to what comes next,
26:54
Speaker 13: and that's now guided weapons and missiles is one of
26:57
Speaker 13: the key aspects of modern battle.
27:02
Speaker 2: Well, don't forget ammunition. I mean you saw what happened
27:04
Speaker 2: to Ukraine when it actually ran out of ammunition lit
27:07
Speaker 2: alone the platforms for them, they were.
27:10
Speaker 1: Down to the tin tanks.
27:11
Speaker 2: I mean for every I can't remember the ratio of
27:14
Speaker 2: something like for every six missiles that or rockets that
27:18
Speaker 2: rush a fire to them, they could only fire one
27:20
Speaker 2: back something like that.
27:22
Speaker 1: What reaction are you getting from government?
27:27
Speaker 13: So it's a complex problem. So the government has stood
27:32
Speaker 13: up GUIO, which is the Guided Weapons and Explosive Ordinance Enterprise,
27:37
Speaker 13: which is tasked with developing and maintaining these weapons systems
27:41
Speaker 13: in Australia. We've been petitioning into this organization for some
27:46
Speaker 13: time to start off that process of developing a completely
27:51
Speaker 13: indigenous weapon system. And what we have here is a
27:55
Speaker 13: conflicted priority. Government's current priority is to maintain the current
28:00
Speaker 13: weapons that we have, and that's understandable. We've invested billions
28:03
Speaker 13: of dollars in the advanced weapons that the ADA currently use,
28:07
Speaker 13: and we need to ensure that we can continue to
28:08
Speaker 13: maintain those over their operational lifespan. So the challenge for
28:12
Speaker 13: me is to convince the powers to be that no
28:17
Speaker 13: way do we need to maintain those weapons, but we
28:19
Speaker 13: need to develop new and completely Australian sovereign capability and
28:24
Speaker 13: there's funding that's allocated towards those efforts, and we're trying
28:27
Speaker 13: to bring that funding forward to assist us in meeting
28:29
Speaker 13: that goal, because ultimately we go to war with the
28:32
Speaker 13: military that we have today, not the one that we
28:36
Speaker 13: inspire to have two or three years time. So it's
28:39
Speaker 13: imperative that we start this development activity today so that
28:42
Speaker 13: we're ready whenever that may eventuate. Hopefully it doesn't.
28:47
Speaker 2: What sort of things you're talking about. I mean, I
28:49
Speaker 2: would have thought drones. Our lack of investment in drones
28:53
Speaker 2: for so long is just unbelievable when you see their
28:56
Speaker 2: real battlefield changes in Ukraine.
29:00
Speaker 1: What else are you looking at?
29:03
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, drones are really interesting, but they're also problematic.
29:07
Speaker 13: You know, if we look at the potential conflict that
29:10
Speaker 13: we're facilly arising in our region, it's all about Taiwan,
29:14
Speaker 13: and the issue with Taiwan is that's where most of
29:16
Speaker 13: our semiconductors come from, and unfortunately, drones are fully semiconductors.
29:20
Speaker 13: And then the question then has to be raised, if
29:23
Speaker 13: Taiwan disappears, or specifically TSMC the semiconductor manufacturer, will we
29:29
Speaker 13: even have the supply chain that we need to be
29:31
Speaker 13: able to develop and manufacture drones in the quantity that
29:34
Speaker 13: were required like you're seeing in Ukraine. Now you know
29:37
Speaker 13: they primarily are coming out of Chinese components at the moment.
29:40
Speaker 13: So you have to wonder what capability will industry have
29:44
Speaker 13: as a whole should we lose that key fundamental input
29:47
Speaker 13: to the capability that we need to build drones.
29:52
Speaker 2: Travs ready you are I thought drones might be our salvation.
29:56
Speaker 2: You just pulled me up short right there? Look well
30:01
Speaker 2: absolutely so that the counterpoints.
30:07
Speaker 13: So I was going to say that the counterpoint of
30:08
Speaker 13: that is what can we manufacture here in Australia that
30:11
Speaker 13: doesn't require and the reliance on a supply chain outside
30:13
Speaker 13: of Australia. And the answer is, honestly rockets. You know,
30:17
Speaker 13: the difference between a rocket and a missile is guidance.
30:19
Speaker 13: So you have unguided missiles. We call them rockets. The
30:22
Speaker 13: ones that can accurately determine their point of impact is
30:25
Speaker 13: a missile, you know. And a rocket really just consists
30:29
Speaker 13: of a metal tube and some chemicals which are amply
30:32
Speaker 13: found here in Australia. So we have the ability to
30:35
Speaker 13: manufacture those at scale without having to worry about China
30:38
Speaker 13: or Taiwan or any of those other supply chains. We
30:41
Speaker 13: just need to build up that capability.
30:43
Speaker 1: That is very interesting.
30:44
Speaker 2: Well, if hamas in guys that can build lots of rockets,
30:49
Speaker 2: I don't understand why we can't. Travis Ready, thank you
30:52
Speaker 2: so much a deed for your time. After the break,
30:57
Speaker 2: you've got to have a look at this how you
30:59
Speaker 2: run formerly fired. It's one hundred and eighty one missiles
31:03
Speaker 2: at Israel on Tuesday. I'll tell you what you've watched
31:05
Speaker 2: that you see this and you'll realize that our government
31:08
Speaker 2: they've got no clue what we're dealing with here. But
31:11
Speaker 2: the prime ministers meanwhile warning you about the danger of
31:14
Speaker 2: cereal boxes that are only half full. Now the Prime
31:21
Speaker 2: Minister realizes Australians are as mad as hell, I mean,
31:24
Speaker 2: really hurting with prices going through the roof, and his
31:27
Speaker 2: plan lately has been to persuade voters that blame supermarkets
31:32
Speaker 2: and not himself, and now has jumped on another way
31:35
Speaker 2: of attacking them and their suppliers as ripoff merchants.
31:39
Speaker 3: You will have seen it. A product comes out in
31:42
Speaker 3: new packaging. It's the same price as before, but the
31:46
Speaker 3: box feels a little bit lighter. It's called shrink flation,
31:51
Speaker 3: and it's a trick. Supermarkets and food retailers used to
31:55
Speaker 3: charge you more when you're getting less. Price tags are
31:58
Speaker 3: meant to have unit pricing on them you can make
32:00
Speaker 3: sure you're getting good value. But right now there aren't
32:04
Speaker 3: any penalties to make supermarkets follow that rule. We're changing
32:08
Speaker 3: that to make sure you know you're getting a fair
32:11
Speaker 3: deal when you buy.
32:16
Speaker 2: I've got to say my ija has got unit pricing already.
32:19
Speaker 2: But joining is the panel James McPherson and Liz Stor
32:22
Speaker 2: of The Late Debates weeknights at ten pm Great Show.
32:26
Speaker 2: James shrink flation with Albanezi using a fictitious breakfast cereal
32:31
Speaker 2: to claim it's a real problem. Is this the prime
32:34
Speaker 2: minister doing the real work of a prime minister?
32:36
Speaker 1: Well, Andrew.
32:37
Speaker 5: The irony is that at the last election, Australians were
32:40
Speaker 5: promised a ton of good government and I reckon we've received.
32:42
Speaker 1: About one hundred grams.
32:43
Speaker 5: There's a lot of voters who wouldn't mind a refund,
32:46
Speaker 5: I think, but I mean, if you want to talk
32:48
Speaker 5: about shrink flation, Anthony Alberinezi has gotten smaller and smaller
32:54
Speaker 5: the longer his term of government has gone on, to
32:56
Speaker 5: the point where he's now reduced to sitting in the
32:58
Speaker 5: lodge making TikTok video about the contents of cornflake packets,
33:02
Speaker 5: which incidentally is where his Treasurer Jim Chalmer's got his
33:05
Speaker 5: economic degree. There's so many problems in this country right now,
33:10
Speaker 5: let alone around the world, and Anthony Albanezi is talking
33:13
Speaker 5: about this kind of stuff. Does he really imagine that
33:16
Speaker 5: when we go to the ballot box later this year
33:19
Speaker 5: or early in twenty twenty five, Australians are going to think,
33:22
Speaker 5: you know, I can't afford my mortgage, I can't afford
33:27
Speaker 5: my power bill. You know, I don't want to go
33:29
Speaker 5: into the CBD because I'm harassed by pro Palestinian protesters
33:33
Speaker 5: every weekend. But at least I know the Prime Minister
33:36
Speaker 5: is going to make sure I've got more fruit loops
33:37
Speaker 5: in the packet for breakfast tomorrow morning.
33:40
Speaker 1: He's kidding himself.
33:41
Speaker 5: He's an embarrassment if he thinks anybody is taking him
33:44
Speaker 5: seriously because he's a most unseerious prime minister right now.
33:49
Speaker 1: But has shrinflation?
33:51
Speaker 2: Does that explain our exploding power bills and all that.
33:54
Speaker 1: Kind of stuff? Lis, I mean, what is this game?
33:57
Speaker 1: Does it?
33:58
Speaker 2: Maybe it works, I don't know. Maybe shows compassionate, is
34:01
Speaker 2: in touch with the kids.
34:03
Speaker 11: He's a man of the people. He's concerned about your
34:05
Speaker 11: grocery receipt vault. Honestly, this is just absolutely pathetic. Last
34:11
Speaker 11: week Laby was trying to take credit for the fact
34:14
Speaker 11: that the agriple see is now going after the duopoly
34:17
Speaker 11: of Calls and Woolworths for their shon key sales prices.
34:21
Speaker 11: This week he's going after portion sizes. But still not
34:25
Speaker 11: a word from this man running the country about the
34:28
Speaker 11: fact that we all know the real problem is inflation.
34:31
Speaker 11: That's why we're not getting value for money anywhere at
34:35
Speaker 11: the moment. And what drives inflation government spending. But have
34:40
Speaker 11: you heard a single premiere or the Prime minister of
34:43
Speaker 11: this country talk about tightening their belt and slashing public spending. No,
34:48
Speaker 11: and I love the story of Harvey and Malay. Since
34:51
Speaker 11: coming to power in Argentina last December, inflation's gone from
34:56
Speaker 11: twenty five percent to four point two percent. Why because
35:01
Speaker 11: in that short period of time he's slash public spending
35:04
Speaker 11: by thirty percent. Who knew if your slash public spending,
35:09
Speaker 11: inflation goes down. He's showing up socialist governments like this one.
35:17
Speaker 2: Well, well, what a radical change that would make. I mean,
35:21
Speaker 2: Heaven forfend, we need to be a shrink flation in
35:24
Speaker 2: the government's spending. I think the Albany's A government has
35:28
Speaker 2: pleaded almost every day James for Australian citizens living in
35:33
Speaker 2: Lebanon to leave because war is coming and the Israelis
35:36
Speaker 2: are coming for you.
35:37
Speaker 1: There are fifteen.
35:39
Speaker 2: Thousand Australian citizens there seems to me many are just
35:43
Speaker 2: Australians by convenience. You know, the passport is a parachute
35:47
Speaker 2: and now the forumist is even laid on charter flights
35:49
Speaker 2: from nearby Cyprus to take them home.
35:52
Speaker 1: Issues.
35:54
Speaker 10: We have secured an additional five hundred seats for Australians
35:58
Speaker 10: Australian permanent residents, and there are a few immediate family
36:03
Speaker 10: members on two flights to Cyprus, which will be leaving
36:06
Speaker 10: on Saturday.
36:08
Speaker 2: But at the very first flight that she helped to organize,
36:12
Speaker 2: eighty seats, here's how many were taken up.
36:17
Speaker 10: Only thirty five of those seats have been taken up.
36:21
Speaker 2: So, James, what do we owe to lebties Australians in
36:24
Speaker 2: Lebanon who won't save themselves. There is the moral here
36:28
Speaker 2: that they know they don't.
36:30
Speaker 1: Need to flee to Australia.
36:31
Speaker 2: They just need to stay away from Hesbela terror centers
36:35
Speaker 2: and they'll be pretty okay.
36:37
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, the Israeli Defense Force have a habit. In fact,
36:40
Speaker 5: they're well renowned for advising local communities in advance of
36:45
Speaker 5: an attack, so it's not like civilians are caught by surprise.
36:49
Speaker 5: I think it's right that the Australian government takes steps
36:52
Speaker 5: to help people who want help. But the end of
36:54
Speaker 5: the day, Blind Freddie has seen this conflict coming for weeks,
36:58
Speaker 5: if not months now. People who are still there are
37:01
Speaker 5: there because they have chosen to remain, and so fair enough,
37:05
Speaker 5: the Australian government is offering assistance, but hardly anyone who's
37:09
Speaker 5: taking it up, because if they wanted to get out.
37:11
Speaker 5: They would have gotten out by now surely.
37:15
Speaker 2: Well otherwise, Liz, they've got a very learned dependence on
37:20
Speaker 2: government and a welfare 'st government.
37:22
Speaker 11: You know, I just see this as the Australian government
37:25
Speaker 11: obviously ticking the box. They do have a duty to
37:28
Speaker 11: the citizens, our citizens in any country that is fast
37:32
Speaker 11: becoming some sort of a war zone. So they're ticking
37:35
Speaker 11: the box. They have to be seen to do their
37:36
Speaker 11: due diligence. But it is very curious to know that
37:40
Speaker 11: so few people are taking them up on the office.
37:42
Speaker 11: So what's actually happening on the ground there in Lebanon
37:45
Speaker 11: that people are so unconcerned for their own welfare.
37:50
Speaker 2: Well, maybe, like I say, the war isn't quite as
37:52
Speaker 2: presented to us as an indiscryminate Israeli bombing of cities
37:56
Speaker 2: and all sorts of towns. You just need to stay
37:58
Speaker 2: away from Hebel tunnels and centers. I had to laugh
38:02
Speaker 2: again at the government today, James telling Israel to negotiate
38:06
Speaker 2: with Iran not hit back at after the missile attack.
38:09
Speaker 2: How is it supposed to negotiate peace? Do you think
38:12
Speaker 2: with the government whose MPs have just been screaming death
38:15
Speaker 2: to America? Here they are. That's very civilized behavior. In fact, James,
38:27
Speaker 2: here's how the head of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, you know,
38:31
Speaker 2: the main terror outfit of this terrorist regime, ordered the
38:36
Speaker 2: launch of those one hundred and eighty one missiles at
38:38
Speaker 2: Israel on Tuesday.
38:43
Speaker 1: Bar no memobile or.
38:50
Speaker 2: I'll ask on you, James, how does Albanezi imagine Israel
38:57
Speaker 2: talks peace with guys like that?
39:00
Speaker 5: Just on those guys. I mean, I don't know what's
39:02
Speaker 5: wrong with ready aim fire, but you know they shot
39:06
Speaker 5: off two hundred missiles. They killed one person who was
39:10
Speaker 5: a Palestinian. So for all their incantations, didn't do them
39:14
Speaker 5: much good. Maybe because Islam is a religion of peace.
39:16
Speaker 11: I don't know.
39:17
Speaker 5: As for Anthony Albanese in his calls for negotiating, I
39:22
Speaker 5: thought the rule was you don't negotiate with terrorists because
39:25
Speaker 5: everybody knows terrorists are not rational actors. They are pure
39:30
Speaker 5: idea logues, and you can't negotiate with idea logs. Iran
39:34
Speaker 5: starts with the premise we want to wipe Israel from
39:38
Speaker 5: the map. So what does Anthony Albanesi suppose Benjamin Nett
39:41
Speaker 5: and Yahoo do Do they not negotiate percentages? You can
39:45
Speaker 5: wipe twenty five percent of Israel off the map fifty
39:47
Speaker 5: all right, seventy five percent. But we stopped there and
39:50
Speaker 5: think about Anthony Albanesi's record of diplomacy. I mean, what
39:54
Speaker 5: did he do with China, one of our aggresses that
39:57
Speaker 5: we're facing. He negotiated in return for US shut up
40:00
Speaker 5: up about their aggression to pandas on loan that we
40:04
Speaker 5: had to pay for. That's his diplomacy or what about
40:07
Speaker 5: his diplomacy when it comes to social cohesion? I mean,
40:10
Speaker 5: he's likely to tell Israel you need to organize a
40:13
Speaker 5: special envoy for I don't know Islamophobia. So when missiles
40:17
Speaker 5: are raining down on Israel, Jews don't think nasty thoughts
40:21
Speaker 5: about Islam. That's Anthony Albanezi's track record, and he dines
40:25
Speaker 5: to lecture Israel and what they should do. It's quite unbelievable.
40:30
Speaker 2: Liz Stara jameson first in great chat, Thank you so much.
40:33
Speaker 2: Do you both have a great show tonight? Look forward
40:36
Speaker 2: to it. Liz and James, thank you. After the break, Catherine,
40:42
Speaker 2: Princess of Wales in a very low key return to
40:45
Speaker 2: work after battling cancer, and how does a prime minister
40:49
Speaker 2: over there, rack up a closes bill of sixty thousand dollars.
40:52
Speaker 2: I think it's someone else to pay it for him.
40:55
Speaker 2: No wonder people are sniffing around fell real good news
41:01
Speaker 2: in a world gone crazy, bad and dangerous.
41:05
Speaker 1: At least.
41:05
Speaker 2: The Princess of Wales as Becket worker kind of after
41:08
Speaker 2: more than nine months of treatment for a cancer joining
41:10
Speaker 2: me from London is Patrick Christie's presenter of GM News. Patrick,
41:15
Speaker 2: lovely to see you again. Look what was this event?
41:18
Speaker 2: And the media does seem to have been kept away?
41:24
Speaker 1: Yeah?
41:24
Speaker 14: Absolutely so. This was an investiture for numerous different celebrities
41:27
Speaker 14: to get awards. At this event was a terminally ill
41:31
Speaker 14: teenage cancer sufferer, and Kate decided that this was a
41:35
Speaker 14: good opportunity for her to meet that person. They both
41:37
Speaker 14: share a keen interest in photography. They had a cuddle
41:40
Speaker 14: and those photographs were being around the world. But you're
41:43
Speaker 14: absolutely right about the press being taken away. And we
41:45
Speaker 14: spoke previously about that very slick video in the woods
41:48
Speaker 14: of her and Prince William and the kids a few
41:50
Speaker 14: weeks back, and people missed the key message there, which
41:54
Speaker 14: was all right, yes she's recovering from cancer, brilliant, but
41:57
Speaker 14: also that she clearly does not want to return to
41:59
Speaker 14: royal life in the way that she was before. And
42:02
Speaker 14: I think what we're going to see is more private
42:03
Speaker 14: events from Catherine and frankly until William is king. I
42:08
Speaker 14: think we're going to see her kept away a bit more,
42:10
Speaker 14: perhaps spending a bit more time with the children as
42:13
Speaker 14: they grow up. So I think this is a sign
42:14
Speaker 14: of things to come, very carefully stage managed behind the
42:17
Speaker 14: scenes appearances.
42:20
Speaker 2: But meanwhile, Patrick, I have to say, Britain seems to
42:23
Speaker 2: be a basket case politically. Your new prime minister there
42:28
Speaker 2: just absolutely staggers me.
42:30
Speaker 1: This Keir Starmer.
42:32
Speaker 2: We mentioned this a couple of times before it's had
42:34
Speaker 2: to admit, but now it's had to admit it's taken
42:37
Speaker 2: twice as much a free clothes from a rich dona
42:42
Speaker 2: called Lord Arli, sixty thousand dollars worth, and now it's
42:47
Speaker 2: been shamed to repaying about ten thousand dollars of it.
42:51
Speaker 1: Why is that?
42:55
Speaker 14: Yeah, well, I'll tell you exactly why it is is
42:57
Speaker 14: because our prime minister appears to have a sugar da
43:00
Speaker 14: and that sugar daddy appears to be called Lord Wahid Ali.
43:03
Speaker 14: It is a remarkable state of affairs that we have
43:05
Speaker 14: in Britain at the moment where this labor government promised
43:08
Speaker 14: us that they were going to ride in on a
43:10
Speaker 14: wave of change, we just didn't know that that change
43:12
Speaker 14: was that he would be the only Prime Minister to
43:15
Speaker 14: accept donations from a man who is now under investigation
43:17
Speaker 14: by the House of Lords for his wife's clothes, his clothes,
43:21
Speaker 14: glasses and pretty much everything that you can lay your
43:23
Speaker 14: hands on. And we are now living in a real
43:25
Speaker 14: world animal farm under this labor government, where some people,
43:29
Speaker 14: of course are equal, and labor ministers are certainly more
43:31
Speaker 14: equal than others. Just to run us through what's going
43:33
Speaker 14: on here, the cloud of sleeves and corruption has got
43:36
Speaker 14: a bit too much for the PM. He's told us
43:38
Speaker 14: that he's done nothing wrong and that these donations were
43:41
Speaker 14: like giving to charity. It was like giving to charity. Well,
43:44
Speaker 14: now he's handed back six thousand of it. The problem
43:46
Speaker 14: for him is that he's taken at least one hundred
43:47
Speaker 14: and six thousand pounds worth of freebies and people are saying, well,
43:51
Speaker 14: if that was you or me, we would have to
43:52
Speaker 14: pay amount of tax on that somewhere in the region
43:55
Speaker 14: of fifty thousand pounds is he going to do that?
43:58
Speaker 14: But I've just got a quit list here anduse He's
44:00
Speaker 14: not the only one, right, So we've got the Deputy
44:02
Speaker 14: Prime Minister took money for an ibetha trip at a
44:06
Speaker 14: DJ booth in an ibetha night club. Also stayed at
44:09
Speaker 14: a New York penthouse apartment that happened to be owned
44:11
Speaker 14: by Lord Wahid Ali. The Environment Secretary took free tickets
44:14
Speaker 14: from a company that has been found to have been
44:16
Speaker 14: pumping raw sewage into our rivers. Our Business secretary was
44:19
Speaker 14: going to hike taxes on YouTube, took free tickets to
44:22
Speaker 14: Glastonbury from YouTube and the next day they decided to
44:25
Speaker 14: drop that hike in tax. The Prime Minister, it stands
44:30
Speaker 14: accused of asking whether or not this is an admission
44:32
Speaker 14: of guilt handling back the money. It certainly seems to
44:35
Speaker 14: be ill advised, given that he originally told us that
44:37
Speaker 14: there was nothing wrong here. He, of course and everyone involved,
44:39
Speaker 14: denies any wrongdoing. But it begs the question is there
44:43
Speaker 14: something lurking in the shadows here that is about to
44:45
Speaker 14: come out that could actually bring him down?
44:51
Speaker 1: Is there an investigation to Lord Ali at all? Yeah?
44:58
Speaker 14: There is, So this investigation is not for the the
45:00
Speaker 14: donations that he gave to our Prime minister, or in
45:02
Speaker 14: did this catalog of other people that seem to be
45:03
Speaker 14: around the Labor Government at the moment. They are around
45:06
Speaker 14: him declaring or not declaring various different business interests. Now
45:09
Speaker 14: as a fabulously wealthy man, he has business interests seemingly
45:13
Speaker 14: all over the world. He is claiming that this is
45:15
Speaker 14: an honest mistake. However, again hoisted by your own petard,
45:19
Speaker 14: because the Labor Government were absolutely puritanical throughout the last
45:23
Speaker 14: days of the Tories, saying that everybody needed to resign
45:26
Speaker 14: for absolutely everything, and even wanted our Prime minister arrested
45:29
Speaker 14: and locked up for eating a little bit of cake
45:31
Speaker 14: during the coronavirus crisis. So now here they are. If
45:34
Speaker 14: this guy has been found to not register his interest properly,
45:37
Speaker 14: then that's going to be big trouble for him, and
45:39
Speaker 14: it could well mean that everybody who's associated with him
45:41
Speaker 14: is also in trouble as well by association. So very
45:45
Speaker 14: much watch this space, you.
45:48
Speaker 1: Know, Petrick.
45:49
Speaker 2: The most amazing thing for me is not just the
45:51
Speaker 2: greed this premeister has for free clothes, but.
45:56
Speaker 1: Sixty thousand dollars worth of them.
45:59
Speaker 2: I don't know any many people that would have many
46:02
Speaker 2: men that would have that much.
46:06
Speaker 14: Yeah, but it's also actually what's been under declared, so
46:09
Speaker 14: when he stayed at Lord Alley's penthouse, but we don't
46:11
Speaker 14: even know how long for. If you work at what
46:13
Speaker 14: the rent would be per square foot for a property
46:17
Speaker 14: in that location in London, what he is declared.
46:19
Speaker 1: Is a fraction of that.
46:20
Speaker 14: So actually you could conceivably add a lot more money
46:23
Speaker 14: to the things that he's received as well. And the
46:26
Speaker 14: clothing issue is absolutely bonkers. Who wants their wife dressed
46:30
Speaker 14: by another man?
46:31
Speaker 1: Bizarre?
46:34
Speaker 2: And it's just the whole thing is just so nuts,
46:38
Speaker 2: so nuts anyway, I don't get it. I noticed that well,
46:41
Speaker 2: when he promised you'd change, you didn't realize he meant
46:44
Speaker 2: change of clothes. That's the real issue here, Petrick Patrick Christie,
46:48
Speaker 2: thank you so much for your time.
46:51
Speaker 1: Oh, for heaven's sake. Do you know my book of
46:54
Speaker 1: the Week?
46:55
Speaker 2: I noticed it's not just Muslims that are protest of
47:00
Speaker 2: course for Palestine. You notice that that Palestine Action Group
47:03
Speaker 2: Sydney that was trying to get a rally up on
47:06
Speaker 2: October seven, on Monday, the anniversary of the day that
47:10
Speaker 2: twelve hundred Jews were slaughtered. They've given that up now
47:14
Speaker 2: they've realized that's going beyond the pay. But the guy
47:18
Speaker 2: that was actually fronting this is Josh Lees. Josh Lees,
47:24
Speaker 2: I don't think it's Palestine, is actually from the Socialist Alternative,
47:28
Speaker 2: which calls itself a revolutionary Marxist group.
47:32
Speaker 1: Revolutionary you know, this.
47:34
Speaker 2: Guy's organized socialist conferences, for instance at the University of
47:37
Speaker 2: Technology Sydney. Shame on them for encouraging these mini Marxists.
47:42
Speaker 2: The thing is this stunning ignorance that the Marxism and
47:46
Speaker 2: this kind of revolutionary socialism has just brought misery to
47:51
Speaker 2: everyone who's bothered to try it. The lack of historical knowledge.
47:55
Speaker 2: So if you've got someone like this who needs a
47:58
Speaker 2: book a little you know, someone yet twelve. This is
48:00
Speaker 2: great for revolutionary studies too. Buy them Simon Chalmers Citizens
48:05
Speaker 2: for Christmas. This is a book that tells you the
48:08
Speaker 2: French Revolution, far from being a glorious thing for human development,
48:12
Speaker 2: was littered with bodies.
48:14
Speaker 1: It was a disaster. So this is a great book.
48:18
Speaker 2: As I always go to the Robins's book shop, my
48:21
Speaker 2: friends are there. You'll see my recommendation on the page.
48:24
Speaker 2: Also last week I recommended I Will Be a Witness.
48:26
Speaker 2: A lot of you book ordered it. Don't forget the sequel.
48:30
Speaker 2: There's a sequel. I forgot to mention that on the website.
48:32
Speaker 2: Go there Robins's Bookshop. That's it from me, good night.
48:36
Speaker 2: Caleb Bond is next
