  Speaker 1: Love from the Skying You Center.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: This is the Kenny.
• 0:05
  Speaker 3: Report, Ashley Gillen, Thank you very much. Chris Kenny here
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: with Royal edition of the Kenny Report tonight. We've got
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: lots coming up in the program, but we'll put all
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: that on hold for now because I want to take
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: you back to those wonderful pictures on Sydney Harbor, because
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: you've got their majesties now doing that.
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: Event, meeting the public at the Opera.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: House, and they'll soon be conducting an inspection of naval
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: vessels as well. But before we get to that, of course,
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: they're making their way across the forecourt. It is a
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: splendid day in Sydney, as you can imagine, and Sydney
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: Harbor is one of the most, if not the most
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: spectacular harbor in the world.
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: And of course you're.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Talking about the royals now walking around the forecourt there
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: of the Opera House, very close to where Europeans first
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: settled on this continent in seventeen eighty eight. So this
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: is where the European settlement of this nation began and
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: we began the founding of this modern country of Australia.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: Let's listen in.
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: Now, as we hear the UK National anthem.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Yes, their Majesty's now being welcome on to a vessel.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: There.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: They're actually by the stair guard there, which is the
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: first Regiment of the Royal Australian Armored Corpse and the
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: Royal Australian Corpse of Military Police.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: The King is actually the Colonel.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: In Chief of the Royal Australian Armored Corpse and the
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: Queen is the Colonel in Chief of the Royal Australian
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Corpse of Military Police. So as you can see there,
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: after that formal welcome and the playing of the God
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Save the King, they're now having a chat to these
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: people before they head down to the steps and get
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: on board a vessel. I think Julia Bradley, who has
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: been covering that a royal tour all day for us today,
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: in fact, over the past few days, we've got Julia
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Bradley there, tell us about the sentiment of the enthusiasm
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: of the crowds there at the Opera house.
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: Julia Chris, what an incredible afternoon it has been here
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: in Sydney, the city, the Harvest city, well and truly
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: turning it on.
• 2:49
  Speaker 7: It is a beautiful afternoon.
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: The sun is shining and six thousand people have made
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: their way here to the Opera House forecourt to try
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: to catch a glimpse of their majesty or even had
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: that opportunity to speak with them one on one.
• 3:03
  Speaker 7: From the moment that they arrived in.
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: That motorcade, we saw them drive past, then go underneath
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: the steps before that official walk down the stairs of
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: the Opera House and that was the moment where we
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: really saw the crowd come alive. This really the biggest
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: event that we've seen so far this royal tour for
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: the public to get involved and to have that moment
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: to soak up this royal visit a significant moment. It's
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: the first time that we've seen King Charles Queen Camilla
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: since they ascended the throne. We know King Charles has
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: been to Australia so many times before, seventeen times to
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: be exact, but this as he is sovereign and also
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: battling cancer, so really an incredible effort from the Royals
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: as they pushed through in this ausy sun to be
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: here for the Australian public. A lot of people that
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: you can see with their Aussie flags that they've been
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: waving are really excited to be here, coming from different
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: states of Australia, also.
• 4:08
  Speaker 7: From other countries.
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: They spoke to a family from Scotland, so people really
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: marking the state off in their calendar, and a really
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: great atmosphere.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Julia, it is a beautiful day, a beautiful spring
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: day in Sydney of coursing and see the sunshine there.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: It looks pretty breezy, a little bit of a breeze around.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: We can see the wind flattering.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: I don't know whether you get much of a look
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: of the harbor there, but can you see whether the
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: wind is whipping up the harbor a bit or is
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: it going to be a gentle cruise for their majesties
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: when they actually get onto the boat.
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: It is a little bit breezy, but nothing that we've
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: seen that really compares to the scenes on Friday night
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: when the King and Queen first arrived, when it was
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: absolutely bucketing, the wind was whipping around, the rain was
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: coming in sideways. So beautiful compared to that Friday night
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: where they were given a typical British welcome, but in
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: Sydney pretty pleasant.
• 5:06
  Speaker 7: Should be calm enough on the waters.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you can't do better on a visit to Sydney. No,
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: the royals, you've got to admit now.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: And then they have some pretty they go to all
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: over the place and they sit around and watch a
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: lot of dancing, and they meet a lot of people,
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: and they even I think had some episodes with dogs
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: and sheep being rounded up. Today they do all sorts
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: of things. But any tourist is coming from anywhere in
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: the world to this city of Sydney, whether they've been
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: here twenty times or it's their first visit, this is
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: a place where they're going to want to go.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: And this is where their.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Majesties are now soaking up their wonderful side of the
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: iconic Opera House, with the Harbor Bridge in the background
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: and the Sydney Harbor laid out before them, ready of
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: course to do this tour in the boat, the tour
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: of inspection of Navy vessels, which will.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: Be coming up in the next little while.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: And of course they've been staying at Kiribilly House, not
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Kiribilly House, sorrydmiral tea house just across the harbor from
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: the Opera House, right next to Curribilly House.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: Kurribilly House, of course.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: Is the house of the Prime Minister in Sydney, and
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: right next door to that is the Grander House, Admiral
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: Tea House, which is the Governor General's residence in Sydney.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: It's just a glorious location and a glorious day and
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: the royals. It's a pretty good way to end the day,
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: given the miles I've covered yesterday and their trip to
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Canberra and of course today around Sydney and out to
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: Paramatta where they've caught up with such a wide variety
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: of people. Julia obviously selected for them by governments in
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: concert with the Palace, but they've met people from all
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: walks of life right throughout this visit.
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: They have Chris So that barbecue that you've just been
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: mentioning in Paramatta in Western Sydney, that was a real
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: highlight today. We saw a celebration of multiculturalism and so
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: many industry leaders attended event. Also we saw the King
• 7:02
  Speaker 6: and Queen speaking with members of the sees, the RFS
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: Commissioner Rob Rogers for example, a lot of politicians down there.
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: There were cultural dancers, but really the highlights were seeing
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: the King and Queen get behind that barbecue and flip
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: some ossy sausages and pop them on a sanger. So
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: that was really the highlight. But also also as they
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: walked over and had that demonstration of the working docks,
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: the sheep docks, that was a real highlight as well.
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: And I was speaking to their grazier who was behind
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: all of that, and he was hoping that our King
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: Charles would get in and have some verbal cues and
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: whistles and try to round them up.
• 7:42
  Speaker 7: But he didn't get quite that involved.
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: But he was in that pen when it was all happening,
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: so I props to him for getting in and having
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: a crack.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: Indeed, now we're seeing live pictures now of the King
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: and Queen that made their way down to the dock
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: there where they'll be getting on board a vessel which
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: is the Admiral Hudson, and they're going to be getting
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: on board that boat with the Governor, General Sam Moston
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: and the Chief of Defense Force David Johnson, Admiral David Johnson,
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: and they'll be getting onto that vessel in just a
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: moment to do a tour around the harbor and inspection,
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: if you like, of navy vessels, the HMS as runter,
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: the hma Is Gascogne, Hmas, Hobart and the Roamonga and
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: the Yarra. What we might do is leave it there
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: and come back to those pictures as they get out
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: on the harbor a little later on.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: We'll get on with the program. Thanks so much for
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: crossing to us, Julia.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: We'll catch up with you again later, but we'll leave
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: the royal visit there on Sydney Harbor. I promise you
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: we'll cross back there when we get spectacular vision of
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: the Royals out doing that naval inspection. We'll trundle on
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: with the program in the meantime. And I wanted to
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: start off tonight with just a little glimmer of sanity
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: on another topic.
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: It bursts through the gloom today.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: It's a pretty ugly and disturbing world at the moment
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: when it comes to governments and their decisions here in
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: Australia and around the world.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: That's my view anyway, I'm certain many of you agree.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: But former Federal Treasurer Peter Cassello, one of the best
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: treasurers this nation has ever had. Well, he was speaking
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: in Sydney today and he reminded us really why he
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: was such a good treasurer. That is, he knew that
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: government wasn't always the solution to everything. Government is often
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: the problem.
• 9:27
  Speaker 8: And as government expands libertary contracts. I'm still astounded at
• 9:35
  Speaker 8: how easily and how unnecessarily citizens gave up freedoms to
• 9:42
  Speaker 8: government under the threat of COVID.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the pandemic the biggest overreaction in the history of humankind.
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: Surely, Remember when.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: Every politician, every bureaucrat, when every police commissioner wanted.
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: To control your life.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Your basic liberties were curtailed, whether it was necessary or not,
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: and your neighbors jobbed you in if you did something revolutionary,
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: you know, like had some friends over. And Costello is Victorian,
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: of course, so he felt the worst of it. Remember
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: when the labor Premier of Victoria, Daniel Andrews, did this
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: to Melbourne's kids.
• 10:26
  Speaker 9: As children watched stunned and police stood guard. Lockdown rules
• 10:32
  Speaker 9: were reinforced with a concrete barrier. And although skateparks are
• 10:39
  Speaker 9: still closed.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: What a stupid decision.
• 10:42
  Speaker 10: Kids can't go to school and now they're being blocked
• 10:45
  Speaker 10: from riding their bikes.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: Let kids get out, let them have some fresh air.
• 10:49
  Speaker 11: Someone stopped this stupid decision.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: The horror of this stuff.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: I'm certain most of the countries trying to forget this stuff.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: People just want to move on fair enough, But as
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: you know, I want to remember it. I want it
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: all investigated properly because I'm terrified these clowns will do
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: all this to us again.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: Castello remembers in.
• 11:10
  Speaker 8: Melbourne Municipal Council playgrounds were closed and the swings and
• 11:13
  Speaker 8: slides were chained to stop children using them. How cruel.
• 11:19
  Speaker 8: Children weren't dying from COVID and they wouldn't die from
• 11:24
  Speaker 8: using swings and slides. This moronic government even decided to
• 11:31
  Speaker 8: institute a night time curfew for a period. You were
• 11:35
  Speaker 8: not allowed out of your home after nine pm, not
• 11:37
  Speaker 8: to walk alone, not to drive alone on your own
• 11:40
  Speaker 8: in your car at nine pm. How could you catch
• 11:42
  Speaker 8: COVID from anybody?
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was pretty terrible to see how panicked our
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: governments became, how much power they were quick to grab,
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: how they censored and misled us, how they used fear,
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: and how most of the media were accomplices in the
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: fear campaigns. How so many people were only too keen
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: to surrender their rights, perhaps driven by that fear, but
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: also how many people unleash their inner police sergeant mentality.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: They're inner community dobber and their inner.
• 12:14
  Speaker 12: Dictator exercise is just that it's not an opportunity for
• 12:18
  Speaker 12: seven families to catch up in the park. There will
• 12:21
  Speaker 12: be no removal of masks to consume alcohol outdoors playgrounds,
• 12:27
  Speaker 12: basketball courts, skate parks and exercise equipment, despite the fact
• 12:30
  Speaker 12: that it's outdoors will be closed.
• 12:32
  Speaker 13: The whole bunch of.
• 12:32
  Speaker 12: People down the righte backbreache last night who thought the
• 12:34
  Speaker 12: best thing to do was to go.
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: And watch the sunset. I'm sure it was a beautiful sunset.
• 12:39
  Speaker 12: That's not in the spirit or in the letter of
• 12:42
  Speaker 12: these rules.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: How could they have done this and how is it
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: that more people didn't revolt. They used rubber bullets to
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: shut protests down in Melbourne and stop people protesting who
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: just wanted to not be forced.
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: To get a jab in order to keep their job.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: They arrested a pregnant woman in our own house for
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: daring to dissent. They stop people crossing borders for medical
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: emergencies or to be with loved ones, or to bury them.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: This was the worst of us on display. And even
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: though he's been through hell, himself of late, resigning as
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: Chairman of Nine Entertainment after the stress of its internal
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: woes boiled over in this spectacular fashion. It's a good
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: thing that Peter Costello at least recognizes the disturbing aspects
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: of our pandemic response.
• 13:36
  Speaker 8: But our leader's got a taste for control, and they
• 13:38
  Speaker 8: used it. What scared me was the public gave up
• 13:42
  Speaker 8: liberties so easily. In my time in my country, I
• 13:48
  Speaker 8: saw that liberties can be taken away very easily with
• 13:53
  Speaker 8: little protest.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: Now Costello uses this as a salient warning against giving
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: governments too much. Fair enough, let's hope that warning hasn't
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: come too late. But what else should we do about
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: the COVID response. Well, any remaining COVID vaccine mandates need
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: to go, of course, that's for sure, And we simply
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: have to have a proper royal commission into the COVID response,
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: which the Albanezer government has refused to do. Anything less
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: than a full royal commission is not only an insult
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: to every citizen of this land, it's also incredibly stupid,
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: because if you don't think you can learn anything useful
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: from examining the failures and the successes of our pandemic response.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: Then you shouldn't really have a role in government. Now
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: let's get back to the Royal visit and the.
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: King and Queen.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: I think it's fair to say they've been very generous
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: with people on this visit, as you've just seen down
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: at the Opera House.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: I know it's their job, what else would they do, etc.
• 14:55
  Speaker 11: Etc.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: But they've taken their time with the handshakes and the
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: chats with all kinds of people.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: So I say good on them.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: But just before I let our head of State get away,
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: Scott Free, let me show you something he said yesterday,
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: because it was pretty silly.
• 15:11
  Speaker 14: Life here has always entailed these extremities of survival and endurance,
• 15:18
  Speaker 14: yet in their magnitude and ferocity, as well as their frequency,
• 15:24
  Speaker 14: they are new. The regular role of unprecedented events is
• 15:30
  Speaker 14: an unmistakable sign of climate change to which Australia is
• 15:34
  Speaker 14: so particularly vulnerable.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: It's just not true, And I know the government would
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: have written this stuff for him, honestly, mate.
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: Stick to the facts.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: Leave the climate alarmism to the politicians and the protesters.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, the Royals have had some rain on this visit.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: They've had lovely weather and the harbor looked pretty good, Thesavo,
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: didn't it. The head of state shouldn't be telling everyone
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: the climate's getting worse when he doesn't have a scientific
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: bets effects to back that up.
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: Still, the real story of this visit, of course, was
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: the disgraceful ranting of the renegade Senator Lydia Thorpe.
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: And if most astrayers just.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: Rolled their eyes at her latest outrage, it was a
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: completely fresh angle back in Britain.
• 16:18
  Speaker 7: Lauris standings by for us. You are a genocidalist.
• 16:20
  Speaker 15: This is not your lam strong stuff there in Canbra
• 16:24
  Speaker 15: this morning, Laura, do updates.
• 16:30
  Speaker 16: That's right, kay, We were watching this speech. It was
• 16:32
  Speaker 16: his keynote moment as he walked into the Great Hall
• 16:36
  Speaker 16: of Parliament House in Canberra. The King was accompanied by
• 16:40
  Speaker 16: did you redo player? This long planned set piece speech
• 16:43
  Speaker 16: he made, but nobody could have predicted what would have
• 16:47
  Speaker 16: happened as he finished. As Senator Lydia Thorpe got to
• 16:50
  Speaker 16: her feet, was in the middle of that aisle there, shouting,
• 16:54
  Speaker 16: trying to make her way towards the stage, he was
• 16:56
  Speaker 16: held back by security.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: Thorpe is an embarrassment mainly to herself, of course, but
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: also to our system of government, proving perhaps that our
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: constitution is not quite perfect. She was elected as a
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: Victorian senator under the Greens banner, but quit that party
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: because it's not radical enough for her, apparently, And now
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: she sits as a rogue independent. Six years in the
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: Senate about three to go, paid way too much, to
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: do far too little, with no accountability to anyone. She's
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: not the first senator to go down this route. So
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: this is a problem that needs to be fixed sometime.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: For now, we're left with hypocrisy on steroids.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: The woman who screams this.
• 17:48
  Speaker 11: Side against our.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: People, get on our landback, get us by your style.
• 17:53
  Speaker 17: From us, our bones, a star, our baby.
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: She says, he's not her king.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: Well, that same woman only collects a salary and has
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: her national platform because she was prepared to swear allegiance
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: to the crown under the system. She decries.
• 18:17
  Speaker 18: I Solia thought she's sol and sincerely in to career,
• 18:25
  Speaker 18: that I will be paidful and I bear true allegiance
• 18:30
  Speaker 18: to the colonizing Her majesty, Queen Elizabeth Senator.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: Thought it is an absolute shambles and we all pay
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: for it, and we all wear some of the embarrassment,
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: and for now the only way to get Thorpe to
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: leave the Senate is to appeal to her non existent
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: good grace.
• 18:50
  Speaker 10: I think there's a very strong argument for somebody who
• 18:53
  Speaker 10: doesn't believe in the system, but it's willing to take
• 18:55
  Speaker 10: quarter of a million dollars a year from the system
• 18:58
  Speaker 10: to resigning principle. And if you were really truly about
• 19:02
  Speaker 10: your cause and not just about yourself, then I think
• 19:05
  Speaker 10: that's a decision that you would make.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: No chance of that happening, I'd say, which means we
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: are left only with the drama that Thorpe's added to
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: this royal visit.
• 19:16
  Speaker 16: And Katie, do you think this incident will overshadow the
• 19:20
  Speaker 16: King's trip?
• 19:23
  Speaker 7: I don't think so.
• 19:24
  Speaker 19: I mean outside Parliament House today we saw hundreds and
• 19:28
  Speaker 19: hundreds of people queuing up, queuing from quite early in
• 19:31
  Speaker 19: the morning in the searing heat here in Canberra because
• 19:34
  Speaker 19: they wanted to catch a glimpse of the royal couple
• 19:36
  Speaker 19: shake the King and Queen's hands. So there are plenty
• 19:38
  Speaker 19: of people here in Australia who feel strongly that the
• 19:41
  Speaker 19: King is their king as much as he's the British King.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: Well, only a visiting pomp could call the mid twenties
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: searing heat.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: Maybe that's more of the climate alarmism.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: So even the British reporters seem to realize that to
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: most Australians the whole royal kafuffle might not have been
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: a barbecue stopper.
• 20:02
  Speaker 19: I think we've seen how Lydia Thorpe spoke out. We've
• 20:05
  Speaker 19: seen people here who are clearly very keen on having
• 20:10
  Speaker 19: the monarchy continue to play a role here in Australia.
• 20:13
  Speaker 19: But I think there's a huge chunk of Australians who
• 20:15
  Speaker 19: feel quite indifferent to the royal family.
• 20:17
  Speaker 7: This is an independent country.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: It sure is, but some might be a little concerned
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: about the image of Australia and all this how our
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: image is tarnished around the world. Perhaps did Lydia Thorpe
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: embarrass the nation? Was she seen to speak for us
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: or speak for many indigenous people?
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: I don't think so. Have a look at this report.
• 20:40
  Speaker 15: The King came face to face in Australia with long
• 20:42
  Speaker 15: standing anger over Britain's colonial past. As Charles addressed the
• 20:47
  Speaker 15: country's politician in Parliament House in Canberra, an Indigenous senator
• 20:51
  Speaker 15: accused him of stealing their land and destroying their lives.
• 20:55
  Speaker 15: You are not miking, said Lydia Thorpe.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: You don't need from another country to dictate to us
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: what we do here.
• 21:03
  Speaker 20: Although it's safe to say this kind of thing doesn't
• 21:05
  Speaker 20: happen very often. At the end of the King's speeches,
• 21:08
  Speaker 20: he did not look particularly surprised by the shouting in
• 21:11
  Speaker 20: Parliament's House. Senator Thorpe has formed when it comes to
• 21:15
  Speaker 20: this kind of protest. But for King Charles it is
• 21:18
  Speaker 20: a reminder that for some he will always represent everything
• 21:22
  Speaker 20: that is wrong about the colonial invasion of this land.
• 21:26
  Speaker 20: So in just one day, some indigenous elders welcomed the
• 21:29
  Speaker 20: King and Queen, another protested, and many other Australians were
• 21:33
  Speaker 20: simply happy to see their head of state, a sign
• 21:36
  Speaker 20: of modern day Australia's complex spectrum of opinion.
• 21:40
  Speaker 11: Christ Hip a TV news camber, fair.
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: Enough, he got it about right.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: I reckon Lidia Thorpe got a moment of fame in Britain,
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: but it won't take long for them to start ignoring
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: her too. In a moment, I'm going to talk to
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: I'm going to talk to former Labour senator Nova peris
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: about what Lydia Thorpe's gotten up to. But for now,
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: let's just cross back to Sydney Harbor where their majesties
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: are on that vessel now doing.
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: The fleet review.
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: Now where they've gone here from the Opera House is
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: heading east into the harbor towards Garden Island Naval Base,
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: and they've been looking at these magnificent navy vessels which
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: aren't in view just at the moment, but the pictures
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: are spectacular on this wonderful harbor on a spring afternoon.
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: Julia Bradley from Sky News has been following the royals
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: the past few days.
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: She's with us again. There's a great way.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: To finish the day if you've got a day in Sydney.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: Julia, Okay, thanks, Ah, there we go.
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: I don't think Julia herbi there.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: We just look at these live pictures Julia of the
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: royals on the harbor. It is a wonderful afternoon. And
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: I was just saying, given well, given their day, their
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: busy day, it doesn't matter. We don't have Julia with us.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: I'm speaking to I'm speaking to the viewers. I'm glad
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: you're with us. Unfortunately, Julia was not hearing me, so
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: we're seeing these pictures still as the royals on board
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: that vessel you're seeing right now are looking to make
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: this fleet review, and as you can see, the windows
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: is kicking up a few waves on the harbor will
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: be a slightly bumpy ride. And you have the sailors
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: there on deck there at Garden Island Naval Base, with
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: the spectacular city of Sydney behind them playing music, and
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: the royals reviewing them and the fleet. Julia Bradley has
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: joined us now. I just want to get your thoughts
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: on this, Julia. A great day for anyone after the
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: busy day with Sydney there in the background. It's a
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: great way to wind up a day in Sydney is
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: to be out on the harbor at this time of day.
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: It is Chris, what a way to spend the afternoon,
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: the harbor city absolutely turning it on. For all of
• 24:02
  Speaker 6: these royal watches, many of them have been here at
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: the fore court of the Opera House for many hours
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: on end, speaking to some people who got here at
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: midday one o'clock, two o'clock, others coming down here with
• 24:16
  Speaker 6: friends and having lunch beforehand, some oysters, some Champagne. Are
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: just making the most of the day in this beautiful
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: weather and this historic moment. We've seen King Charles and
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: Queen Camilla down here meeting the public and this was
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: really the biggest event.
• 24:33
  Speaker 7: That was put on during the.
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: Course of this royal tour for the public, that opportunity
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: for there to be that connection.
• 24:42
  Speaker 7: Between the Head of State and his Sydney subjects.
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: But not all Sydney based. A lot of people coming
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: in from interstate and also from overseas. We spoke to
• 24:52
  Speaker 6: a family from Scotland the last few days. A lot
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: of people coming in from Queensland and Victoria as well.
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: Where else would you rather be by here in city?
• 25:03
  Speaker 11: Now?
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: I can't help but think about the history of this too, Julia,
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: as we watch these pictures. It is a spectacular city,
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: a modern city of five million people. The harbor is
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: the centerpiece, as you see there with the skyline in
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: the background, as the helicopters fly, the Australian and the
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: Naval flags around the harbor, people gathering on the headlins.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: There's so many headlands along this stretch of the harbor.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: They'll be there at Darling Points and across the other
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: side around Mossman and the like people just getting a
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: glimpse of this ceremony, but you just have to remind
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: yourself that this is where modern Australia began. Where people
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: call it invasion day, the rest of us call it settlement.
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: But this is where the destinies of our.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: Indigenous people and the British colonizers and all the immigrants
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: who have come from four corners of the globe since
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: have all ended up making this wonderful modern country with
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: Sydney as its biggest city. And it all began not
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: far from where the royals are now. As they go
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: past one of the HMAS vessels there, one of the
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: NAM Navy vessels as part of this fleet review, and
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: you see the sailors there in their wonderful bright white
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: uniforms lining up to perform their military duties, but obviously
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: take in the wonderful sight and the thrill of being
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: there to take this review from the King of Australia, Julia.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: Is this the end of their royal duties for today
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: and for this royal visit or do they have anything
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: on after this fleet review?
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: Well, perhaps I'll head down to the Opera Bar for
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: an afternoon Chapaye.
• 26:41
  Speaker 7: It really remains to be seen.
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: But in terms of the official engagements they are over after.
• 26:48
  Speaker 7: That fleet review.
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: So it has been a massive trip, a short trip,
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: but a very very busy one, and bearing of mind
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: that King Charles is battling cancer at the moment seventy
• 27:00
  Speaker 6: five years of age, so it has been an incredible
• 27:02
  Speaker 6: effort for the pair of them. Yesterday in Canberra there
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: were seventeen official engagements, and then after that they got
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: straight on a plane and headed here to Sydney and
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: now a huge reception for the public and.
• 27:16
  Speaker 7: Such a warm welcome here to the Opera House.
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: So the official engagements shortly will be coming to a
• 27:23
  Speaker 6: close after the seed the end of this fleet review.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: But who really knows how they It's a ripping way
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: to when the day. If I was them, I'd keep
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: going east and perhaps pop in at the Watson's Bay Wharf,
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: grab a beer at the Watson's Bay Hotel Duck next
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: door to Doyle's for a couple of oysters, and then
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: they can and then they can jump back on the boat.
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: We'll take them right back home to Admiralty House at
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: the steps there at the Wolf there'd be brilliant, just
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: wonderful pictures, fantastic coverage. Thanks so much for joining us, Julia,
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: enjoy the rest of the day. Look at that magnificent harbor,
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: Sydney Harbor. There, their majesties take it all. And I
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: don't know how many countries they've been to over there
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: many years, they would have seen just about every corner
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: of this globe. But they will see no finer site
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: than Sydney late afternoon on a spring day here.
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: Look at that just went magnificent stuff.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: I want to press on with the rest of the
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: program now and bring you back to the studio. I'm
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: going to stay on this issue though, because I'm joined
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: from Darwin by Nova Peris, of course, the Australian Olympian
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: champion and former Labor senator and Indigenous activist and Republican activists.
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: Nova, good to catch up with you again.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: You've been such a strong voice for anti Semitism too
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: over the past year. You truly are a great Australian
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: and I admired the way you came out today to
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: condemn what Lydia Thorpe had done me. And you're both
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: Indigenous women, you've both served in the Senate so your
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: perspective was important.
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: Give that to us now.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Now, I guess when you put your hand up to
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: become a member of the Australian Parliament, you know that
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: you were bound by rules and protocols, and the main
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: one being that you swear allegiance to you know. Well,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: when I was in, there was the Queen and all
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: her successes now being King Charles. And that's what happened
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: with Lydia. You know, Lydia put her hand up and
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: she went in on the Greens to get people voted
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: for Lydia as a Green Senator. Then she defected from
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: the Greens and she's become a Independent and you know,
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: like the behavior yesterday was really really not okay. And
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: you know for her to be swearing in the Australian Parliament,
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: you know, f the colony and yelling at you know,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: for a treaty and all the rest of it as Charles,
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: who effectively is a symbolic head of state for Australia.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: And you would know this also, Chris that out you know,
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighty six Australia Act actually effectively relinquished all our
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: remaining constitutional ties between Australia and the United Kingdom. So
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: you know, like there's so many things to unpack yesterday
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: around Lydia's behavior, and I really felt sorry for that
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: beautiful anti Violet Sheridan, who's a nandry nuannawhol elder, who
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: welcomed wholeheartedly both Charles and Camillia to her country in
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Parliament House and that was just you know, when she finished,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: it was overtaken by Lydia's rant and it's a sad
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: indictment on an Australian parliamentarian in this country.
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: You're so right, there was a wonderful welcome there and
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: indigenous welcome and then that's turned on its head by
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: someone being being unwelcoming and effectively rejecting people.
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: But you make the critical point you're a republican.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: There are a lot of politicians in our federal Parliament
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: and our state parliaments who are Republican, but they're mature
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: enough to think they swear allegiance to the crown, this
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: is the current system, and they'll show respect for the
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: system and the institutions and the people at the top
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: of that institution while they can work through a normal
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: democratic means to change that if they like over time.
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: But you've got to have respect for the system. If
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: you sign up to.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: It, you do, you absolutely do. And if someone comes
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: yelling and shouting at you Europe, the first thing you're
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: going to do is retract. You're not going to want
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: to have it, you know, engage in that conversation, and
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: you know, you're aware that I was also a co
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: chair of the Strain Republican movement, which I left earlier
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: on this year. But I go way back to the
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: ninety eight Constitution Convention and sadly we didn't get up
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety nine, and it was on Albanesi's agenda
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: to go perhaps next year.
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: Or the year after.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: But because of the Foud referendum yesterday, you know, no
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: one wants talk referendum anymore. But what I'm sort of
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: saying in all of this is I also want to
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: make an important, you know, sort of connection to this
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: where in twenty twenty one, Charles whilst Queen was still alive,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: he represented her in Rwanda at the Commonwealth Heads of
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: State meeting and he actually acknowledged, you know, his mother
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: was ill, but he actually acknowledged that his institution that
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: runs deep into the most painful period of our history.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: Now we all know the impact of colonization on all
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: Commonwealth countries, but we can't change the past, Chris. And
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: you know I wrote a letter with fourteen other Commonwealth
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: countries who still come under the British monarchy asking him to,
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: you know, acknowledge that, and you do that in a
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: in a respectful way. But also Lydia yesterday saying, you know,
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: give us back our you know, our what do you
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: call it? The repatriation of whether it's human remains or
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: sacred sites, all that sort of stuff. But we have
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: an organization he's strainings to have averaged on Tosha, on
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: his studies.
• 32:54
  Speaker 18: It's in the process of getting.
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: Those things done the sensible.
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, That's why I just want to get your thought. Well,
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: Lydia thought really represents no one.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: She hasn't even no one's actually voted for her, even individually.
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: She's only in the Senate because of the Greens. But
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: has she damaged the indigenous causes. It's a particularly troubling
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: and divisive time after the Voice and all the anks
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: we saw last year. So for her to do this, now,
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: do you think it's damaging or do you think all
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: people on all sides will realize she's just a renegade
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: with no manners.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: I think you have to take her as an individual,
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: or you ask her to have all the people that
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: she so called represents to put their name forward, because
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: I've had a lot of people, especially the older generations,
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: say that it was disgraceful and it's embarrassing the way
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: she conducted herself. You know, it's planet's apart how Charles
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: was acknowledge in twenty eighteen when he came up to
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: East annam Land and you had the tradition owners of
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: that country, the ull Gul people openly hearted sat down
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: and saw him as a leader or of another country,
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: sit down peacefully and talk with that mutual respect. And
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: that's what great leaders can do. They can sit down
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: and have, you know, have these conversations. But for her,
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: who does she represent? Because I'm telling you now, I've
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: also been inundated by a whole heap of non Indigenous
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: people to say that is really sad. We actually feel
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: sorry for you that someone's actually gone out saying that
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: they represent Aboriginal people were a natural fact. She doesn't.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: And you know, I also need to make comment about
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: the fact that you know yes, the Voice failed last year,
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: but however there were nineteen out of twenty one Aboriginal
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: communities up here, nineteen out of twenty one that overwhelmingly
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: voted yes. Now, she has said that she hates the colony,
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: f the colony, but she swears allegiance to the Queen
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: accepts her as simulation. She's gone into the Australian Parliament,
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: but she didn't want the Voice going into the Constitution
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: because that was an act of simulation. So which way
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: is it?
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: Do?
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: You know? It's like we as Aboriginal people, we wanted
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: to be recognized, we wanted our voice, but that didn't
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: get up. But you know what, we still have a
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: long way to go, and we cannot dismiss the amount
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: of people that supported the Voice, but it is what
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: it is, Chris, And you know, I long and pine
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: for the day that we do become a republic. But
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: that is a process that we as an Australian people's,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: whether it's Indigenous and non Indigenous and everyone who's come after,
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: have to go to the polls and decide and shape
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: this country.
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: I reckon there's one referendum that we could get up
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: in a canton now and that's if we had a
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: referendum to change the constitution to boot Litti of Thorpe
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: out and put you back in the Senate, that would
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: fix this up. But thanks so much for joining us, Nova,
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: I really appreciate your input. Nova peris their former labor
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: senator speaking so much sense about Thorpe and the ridiculous
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: way that she's really produced the Senate and broken faith
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: with the people who have put there in the Senate
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: just to create a shambles there.
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: We better move on after the break.
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: We've been going a long while here thanks to the royals,
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: but we'll have a break. We'll check in on them
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: a little bit later in the program too, But after
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: the break, I'll catch up with Susio O'Brien and.
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: Stephen sena tiempo.
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: We'll talk about damage to a statue of Queen Victoria
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: today and also anti abortion speaker triggering a mass walkout
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: during a keynote speech. In a moment, going to go
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: to our panel with Susio O'Brien and Stephen Senate Tampa
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: joining me as ever on Tuesday, but let's try and
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: cut to.
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: A live picture here.
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: Yes, we've got some more action on Sydney Harbor as
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: we see their majesties disembarking, it seems from this vessel.
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: Now I'm having to try and work out where this
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: might be, hoping that the camera person there might pull
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: out at some stage. It looks like it could be
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: at the dock at Admiralty House, which is the Governor
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: General's residence on Sydney Harbor, right next door to Kirabilly House,
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: the Prime Minister's residence, which is where the Royals are staying.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: That's right across the harbor from the Opera House.
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: But I am only guessing.
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: There are lots of little wharves and stone steps like
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: that around the harbor, and I don't have any information
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: in front of me telling me exactly where that is.
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: But could be the case now if you've just joined in,
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: if you've just tuned in, The Royals did.
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: A big meat and greep greed in the fore court
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: of the.
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: Opera House where there are thousands of people keen to
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: see them, and they walked around and shook hands and
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: chatted to a lot of people. They then stepped onto
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: this vessel where they conducted a fleet review with a
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: number of Navy ships in the Harbor east of the
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: Opera House around the Garden Island. Defense Force based the
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: Navy base there, and there are many many sailors saluting
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: them from the decks of those vessels as the King
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: conducted that fleet review. And here they are now, their
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: Majesty's there's King Charles the Third and Queen Camilla. They
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: are just ahead of him as they're being led there
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: by the military personnel up these steps. They are accompanied
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: on this fleet review by the Governor General Sam Moston
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: and also by the Chief of Defense Forces, Admiral Johnson,
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: so they're still with them there.
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: And as we pull out.
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: I might be able to work out where we are.
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: I'm not certain. I think of Couldbury Admiralty House, could
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: also be over a number of one of those other
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: naval installations we'll see later on in the program.
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: Let's get on with the panel now, and as.
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: I mentioned, Cujo O'Brien and Steven Senna Tiempo joining me
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: now live there. I never thought I'd be doing any
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: live royal reporting, but you know, we live and we learn.
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: Good to talk to you both your assessment. First up, SUSI,
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: of how the Royal visit's.
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: Gone out and how bad the drama.
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: From Lydia Thorpe has been in amongst it all.
• 39:08
  Speaker 17: Look, I mean, I actually thought Lydia Thorpe's lowest moment
• 39:12
  Speaker 17: was when she got chucked out of a gentleman's club,
• 39:14
  Speaker 17: first swearing obsidities at some of the patrons, or perhaps
• 39:18
  Speaker 17: when she said to a Liberal senator, well you should
• 39:22
  Speaker 17: have kept your legs shut. Well, she should have kept
• 39:24
  Speaker 17: her mouth shut.
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: The other day.
• 39:26
  Speaker 17: What an absolute disgrace for an elected member of parliament,
• 39:31
  Speaker 17: even though as you say, she was elected as a
• 39:34
  Speaker 17: Green who knows who she represents now And I think
• 39:38
  Speaker 17: it was really disgraceful the way that she behaved and
• 39:41
  Speaker 17: all it has done is that the Aboriginal Cause back
• 39:44
  Speaker 17: so far and you know, so embarrassing for people, for
• 39:49
  Speaker 17: you know, so upsetting for Marsha Langton, for as you said,
• 39:53
  Speaker 17: Auntie Violet, and really she should resign. She said, she said, oh,
• 39:59
  Speaker 17: I don't expect to.
• 40:00
  Speaker 7: Be re elected.
• 40:02
  Speaker 17: I'm just going to sit this one out for the
• 40:03
  Speaker 17: next three and.
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: A half years.
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: Well what is going to be left of.
• 40:06
  Speaker 17: The Aboriginal Cause at the end of that three and
• 40:09
  Speaker 17: a half years.
• 40:10
  Speaker 7: What a disgrace.
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, she's a shocking individual.
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: This is childish behavior and it's really disappointing. But Stephen,
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: it gets to a bit of a problem here we
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: have in politics.
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: So it happens a.
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: Lumber houses and upper houses, state and federal, but it's
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: where people can be elected under one banner and then
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: resign from it and of course they get to see
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: out their term. It's especially bad in the upper houses,
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: especially in the Senate, because you're only elected on a ticket.
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: No one really knows your name, no one puts a
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: tick along alongside your name anyway. Plus you're elected for
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: two terms, so two terms under the Greens ticket, which
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: she shunted away. So it's so under democratic. She's so unrepresentative,
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: and we ought to look at changes where if you
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: go away from the ticket that elected you, then you
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: should have to leave and they should be able to
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: place you.
• 41:02
  Speaker 11: Chris, can I make two comments before we get to this.
• 41:04
  Speaker 21: Firstly, I'm loving that you and out and proud Republican
• 41:06
  Speaker 21: are reporting on the royal visit with such joy, so
• 41:09
  Speaker 21: let me say that first. And secondly, ever, a royal
• 41:11
  Speaker 21: court needs a fool, and I think Lydia.
• 41:14
  Speaker 11: Thorpe has proved that she is that.
• 41:15
  Speaker 21: But look I don't know why we keep giving oxygen
• 41:18
  Speaker 21: to this illegitimate senator who's taking our money out of
• 41:21
  Speaker 21: false pretenses. Illegitimate because she doesn't believe in the institution
• 41:24
  Speaker 21: which she serves, and secondly false pretenses because as you say,
• 41:27
  Speaker 21: she was elected as a Green but now sits as
• 41:30
  Speaker 21: an independent. And I think that's the referendum we need
• 41:32
  Speaker 21: to have and we'll get up with one hundred percent support.
• 41:36
  Speaker 21: But we've just got to stop giving her oxygen. That's
• 41:38
  Speaker 21: exactly what she wants. And I just think it's extraordinary
• 41:41
  Speaker 21: that you've got a whole bunch of Nanbry and Nunna
• 41:43
  Speaker 21: War elders welcoming the king and some clown from Victoria
• 41:47
  Speaker 21: comes in and talks about the land being stolen.
• 41:49
  Speaker 11: The elders from here in Canberra said to be fine
• 41:52
  Speaker 11: with it.
• 41:52
  Speaker 21: I mean, seriously, we've just got to stop talking about
• 41:56
  Speaker 21: it and stop giving her airtime, turn the cameras off
• 41:58
  Speaker 21: and then she might just go away silently.
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, well said there, And yeah I am doing
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: some royal reporting there. We've got the full screen pictures
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: there of whether royals disembarked.
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: I don't know about Joy.
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: I tell you what is very joyful to be describing
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: Sydney Harbor and showing that to people around this country
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: and overseas at the moment too. But there's been another
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: ugly side to this, SUSI with a statue of Queen
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: Victoria daubin red painter overnight. I mean, honestly, look good
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: does this do anybody or any cause?
• 42:31
  Speaker 17: See, I don't actually mind this one so much because
• 42:34
  Speaker 17: there was there's no active threat, there's no violence. It
• 42:38
  Speaker 17: was done early in the morning, and you know what,
• 42:40
  Speaker 17: whoever did it will no doubt be caught because there's
• 42:42
  Speaker 17: CCTV cameras everywhere through that part of Sydney. So look,
• 42:47
  Speaker 17: I think that more so than Lydia's stunt who performed
• 42:52
  Speaker 17: in stunt was it does reflect that the colonial legacy
• 42:58
  Speaker 17: represented by Victoria is tainted for so many people. So
• 43:02
  Speaker 17: I don't really mind a little bit of red paint
• 43:04
  Speaker 17: throwing around at dawn on that statue perhaps, But you
• 43:08
  Speaker 17: know what, keep away from the royals and let the
• 43:10
  Speaker 17: rest of us enjoy the visit.
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: Indeed, I tell you now, litill glad in your heart. Stephen.
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: Was the polling that shows the approval rating for King
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: Charles is higher than either Peter Dutton or Anthony Albanezi.
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: That's a low bar, I suppose.
• 43:27
  Speaker 11: I guess that's right.
• 43:28
  Speaker 21: But of course it doesn't stop the Republican movement from
• 43:30
  Speaker 21: running around saying only eight percent of the population support
• 43:33
  Speaker 21: the monarchy. I don't know where the hell they're getting
• 43:35
  Speaker 21: their polling from, but on the Queen Victoria thing, Fannick.
• 43:37
  Speaker 21: And if you can't get your message across without vandalism
• 43:41
  Speaker 21: and damage and destruction of property, then it shows your.
• 43:44
  Speaker 11: Intellectual and moral bankruptcy, as simple as that.
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, as I'm looking at that little picture of the
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: corner of our screams, I think I was right. I
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: think that is Admiralty House where they're retiring to after
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: their busy day across Sydney and Western Sydney and Paramatta
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: and around the place, and of course the Opera House
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: for Court and out on the harbor, and they'll be
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: able to spend the night there at Admiralty House, which.
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: Are very very fine digs.
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: It says a lot about this country and our system. Stephen,
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: having been in the Kiribilly House and Admiralty House, I
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: can tell you the Governor General's digs are much better
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: than the shoddy little joint that the mere Prime Minister gets. Now, Susie,
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: let's move on to some other issues. And there's a
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: report today about seventy percent of us in Australia who
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: are getting close to retirement thinking we will work beyond
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: sixty five. To me, that's a no brainer, right because
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: at my age, I'm seeing sixty five as the new
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: thirty five.
• 44:42
  Speaker 17: Well, the clock's ticking, isn't it. Well, you know, I'm
• 44:45
  Speaker 17: fifty three and I can barely make it to five
• 44:48
  Speaker 17: thirty some days, so I can know you're like, sixty
• 44:50
  Speaker 17: five just seems like a really long way away, But.
• 44:53
  Speaker 8: It really depends.
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 44:54
  Speaker 17: At the moment, we've got a third of people saying
• 44:56
  Speaker 17: that they're still going to be working at sixty five,
• 44:59
  Speaker 17: one in nearly one in ten still working at seventy.
• 45:02
  Speaker 17: And I think if you're doing that because you want
• 45:04
  Speaker 17: the engagement, you're still fit and healthy, you've got something
• 45:08
  Speaker 17: to offer more power to you, good on you. But
• 45:11
  Speaker 17: if you're doing it because at seventy you run out
• 45:13
  Speaker 17: of money, you've got no other means but to get
• 45:17
  Speaker 17: back into the workforce, I think that's.
• 45:19
  Speaker 7: Very, very sad. It's going to be a big effort
• 45:22
  Speaker 7: for a lot of people.
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's rough. That's the thing, Steven.
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: You don't want people to think they have to work
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: till they're seventy and in order to make ends meet.
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: But where people are able to retire and keep working
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: either full time or part time because it's what they
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: want to do to fulfillment, good on them.
• 45:40
  Speaker 11: Yeah, as long as that's the reason.
• 45:41
  Speaker 21: And can I just say as a breakfast radio host,
• 45:43
  Speaker 21: fifty is the new eighty.
• 45:44
  Speaker 11: But moving along. If you're doing it by.
• 45:47
  Speaker 21: Choice, that's fine, But if you feel like you've got
• 45:48
  Speaker 21: to do it, and I think most people probably think
• 45:51
  Speaker 21: they have to do it out of necessity, and that's
• 45:52
  Speaker 21: the real problem.
• 45:54
  Speaker 4: You talk about feeling young.
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: I just want to finish on a bit of a
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: prank by some Melbourne the schoolgirls the day of course
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: the end of their school time. That says something to celebrate,
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: and I reckon the outfits and where they took them
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: really fit the bill.
• 46:08
  Speaker 22: Have a look all those Ronald McDonald Susie turning over.
• 46:22
  Speaker 4: They should have been singing a song or something. Isn't
• 46:24
  Speaker 4: there some sort of in there, some sort of Maca's tune?
• 46:27
  Speaker 11: They could have cooked up.
• 46:28
  Speaker 21: Yeah to all beef, Patty specials, Tree peoples on sess
• 46:31
  Speaker 21: we see bun.
• 46:32
  Speaker 4: You've got it, You've got it.
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: All we needed was for Donald Trump to be serving them.
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 46:39
  Speaker 17: The thing is their Catholic schoolgirls.
• 46:41
  Speaker 4: So what were they singing?
• 46:42
  Speaker 17: They were singing their school, their school anthem. Now this
• 46:45
  Speaker 17: has gone absolutely viral. Forty million people around had watched
• 46:50
  Speaker 17: this around the globe, and I think it's just fun.
• 46:53
  Speaker 17: Like they they're not mucking out, they're not destroying property.
• 46:56
  Speaker 17: They were there. I spoke to one of the girls today.
• 46:58
  Speaker 17: They were there for the at most five me. They
• 47:00
  Speaker 17: kind of occupied the joint. Then they got out and
• 47:02
  Speaker 17: went back on to school. So you know, it's an
• 47:05
  Speaker 17: example of having fun, making a statement, but also not
• 47:09
  Speaker 17: getting in trouble, not getting arrested, and enjoy the rest
• 47:14
  Speaker 17: of it.
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: That's what you want, that's what you want.
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of fun, a lot of markup, and
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: they got the out.
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: Of bonus of then going viral, which they'll love, no doubts.
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: Thanks for joining us, Steven and Susie. Great to catch up.
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: We'll speak to you next week. We've got to get
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: to a break in this royal interrupted program after the
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: breaking to catch up with Tim Blair. We're going to
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: talk about Elon must support the Trump causing Tesla owners.
• 47:35
  Speaker 4: To revolt in a pretty weird way. Now.
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: As you know, on Tuesdays they always catch up with
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: Christen Tate in the US to talk US politics, but
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: without impromptu royal coverage.
• 47:50
  Speaker 4: Tonight, my interview with her, where we discussed the latest.
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: In the campaign, has gone to God for now, but
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: we'll put it online. They'll be available via the website,
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: on the Sky YouTube channel on Facebook later on. Some
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: great stuff there as the polls titan and start to
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: look pretty good for Donald Trump. But I want to
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: chat a bit about US politics with Tim Blair from.
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: The Daily Telegraph too, to talk to.
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: You again, Tim, you would have been loving what's been
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: going on in the US because you love to make
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: really strong political points with a dose of humor in
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: your columns and on your blog.
• 48:22
  Speaker 4: But Donald Trump does that so beautifully, doesn't.
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: He's been cracking so many jokes, having a great time
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: on the campaign trail.
• 48:30
  Speaker 23: Absolutely, And first of all, apologies to people who are
• 48:32
  Speaker 23: tuning in to see Kristin You're no christ In case
• 48:36
  Speaker 23: you're worried on no, Kristin exactly. But this is the
• 48:39
  Speaker 23: most complete victory from a very standard sort of electioneering stunt.
• 48:43
  Speaker 23: I mean, we've seen this basically every election in the
• 48:46
  Speaker 23: Western world for decades. Politician turns up at a factory,
• 48:51
  Speaker 23: a shop, you know, a restaurant, whatever, and joins in
• 48:54
  Speaker 23: with the workers every election, and this is the only
• 48:57
  Speaker 23: one that's gone beyond a one day sort of thing.
• 49:00
  Speaker 23: And it's because people get so freaked out by Donald
• 49:03
  Speaker 23: Trump smiling and interacting with Norman human beings. Here he goes.
• 49:07
  Speaker 23: All he's doing is using the friar, is wemming up
• 49:10
  Speaker 23: some fresh fries. Here he is, you know, using the scoop,
• 49:12
  Speaker 23: as so many people have throughout so many generations of
• 49:14
  Speaker 23: McDonald's workers and lefties see this and something in their
• 49:18
  Speaker 23: brain just breaks. They're fantastic.
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: Well, of course, the really hard political point out of
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: it was to Kamala Harris said she worked at macas.
• 49:27
  Speaker 4: Turns out to be a lie.
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: Now there's no record of her working there, so he
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: can now say he's worked at maccas longer than she
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: ever did.
• 49:34
  Speaker 4: But you're right, it's just the easy way he slips
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: into it.
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: People people know he eats macas he's just an ordinary
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: boke and from that point of view, but now there's
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: all these lefties, so they're going to they're gonna we
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: boycott Macers forever.
• 49:47
  Speaker 23: Well, you know, they've probably got to have head start
• 49:49
  Speaker 23: on that, you know, given given the nature of lefties
• 49:51
  Speaker 23: is that they're a bit they're a bit of a
• 49:52
  Speaker 23: wealthy sector of the human human population these days there
• 49:55
  Speaker 23: they're not exactly representing the workers. But this is terrific
• 49:58
  Speaker 23: and there's every single the image has come out of this.
• 50:01
  Speaker 23: The thing has been iconic, to use, the most overused
• 50:04
  Speaker 23: word in the English language for the last two years,
• 50:06
  Speaker 23: and it can't help I think that both Trump's prospects
• 50:09
  Speaker 23: in November.
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: What I love too was the speech he gave it
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: the big charity, the Catholic Charity Dinner last week, which
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: so typically both candidates speak to. Kamala Harrah skipped it
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: and Donald Trump gave spoke for about twenty five minutes.
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: Have a look on YouTube anyone watching, if you if
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: you want to see the whole thing is hilarious. Here's
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: one of my favorite lines.
• 50:29
  Speaker 13: Tradition holes that I'm supposed to tell a few self
• 50:33
  Speaker 13: deprecating jokes this evening. So here it goes, Nope, I
• 50:40
  Speaker 13: got nothing, I got nothing, there's nothing to share it.
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: Donald doesn't do self deprecation, which of course is self deprecating.
• 50:54
  Speaker 23: Yes, it's very on brand for the Donald there. And
• 50:57
  Speaker 23: you know it was a terrific show. Again, Kamala Harris's
• 51:00
  Speaker 23: missing opportunities here, and they might be, you know, more
• 51:02
  Speaker 23: the fault of her anxious, anxious staff. But you know,
• 51:06
  Speaker 23: having worked at McDonald's, by her own account, you know,
• 51:08
  Speaker 23: wherever accurate they may be, she should have jumped in
• 51:12
  Speaker 23: and done her own McDonald's singing way before Trump did.
• 51:14
  Speaker 23: And again, you know she didn't turn up at this,
• 51:17
  Speaker 23: this traditional comedy evening for charity. She instead mailed in
• 51:21
  Speaker 23: a really crap video.
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: Now, you love the madness of the left, and you
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: love motor vehicles too, So I've got to raise this
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: with you. Elon Musks now is persona nongrada with the
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: left because he's thrown his lot in with Donald Trump.
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: So a lot of people who bought Tesla's are now
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: putting these stickers on them saying they bought the Tesla
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: before they knew Elton was crazy.
• 51:41
  Speaker 11: It's a beautiful, it.
• 51:44
  Speaker 23: Is beautiful and also you know it's it must be
• 51:48
  Speaker 23: making them happy two times over because they bought the
• 51:50
  Speaker 23: Tesla's in the first place to attract attention. It's sort of,
• 51:53
  Speaker 23: you know, loudly self announcing, look at us, we're rich
• 51:56
  Speaker 23: enough to have a second car that we don't use
• 51:58
  Speaker 23: that side of the cities because I can't go, but
• 52:00
  Speaker 23: you know, we really care about the environment. And then
• 52:02
  Speaker 23: when it turned out that Elon there was a good Elon,
• 52:06
  Speaker 23: a free speech at Elon, then they can put their
• 52:09
  Speaker 23: stickers on there and attract even more attention the second
• 52:11
  Speaker 23: time around. So when when for those poor people who
• 52:13
  Speaker 23: bought Tesla's, Well when win until I try to sell
• 52:16
  Speaker 23: them because I think the resale isn't holding up too
• 52:18
  Speaker 23: good reason.
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: I think Tesla drivers are the new Volvo drivers. But
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: we'll save that conversation for another time. Thanks Tim Blair
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: there you can read Tim in the Daily Telegraph. That's
• 52:28
