- 0:00Speaker 1: Late Welcome to the Late base.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Good even great to have your company.
- 0:08Speaker 3: I'm James Macpherson with Liz Storer and Caleb Bond coming up.
- 0:12Speaker 3: Jockey suspended after a rank Outsider wins by.
- 0:15Speaker 2: Twenty two lengths. How do you explain that?
- 0:18Speaker 3: But more importantly, how do you explain that our good
- 0:20Speaker 3: friend Caleb Bond didn't give us a heads up about
- 0:23Speaker 3: this twenty eight to.
- 0:23Speaker 2: One r.
- 0:25Speaker 4: I didn't have any money on it either, so we
- 0:28Speaker 4: can all feel sorry for it.
- 0:29Speaker 5: We believe you.
- 0:31Speaker 3: Caleb will fill us in on that one a little
- 0:33Speaker 3: later when we get to the papers. Plans to have
- 0:36Speaker 3: indigenous people co design Brisbane Olympic facilities and the Albenezy
- 0:41Speaker 3: government using the Future Fund to invest in green energy projects. Well,
- 0:46Speaker 3: of course all of that when we look at the papers.
- 0:48Speaker 3: But first, just when you thought local government in this
- 0:51Speaker 3: country could not possibly get any worse, along came the
- 0:55Speaker 3: Adelaide City Council. They're proposing to have a blanket speed
- 1:00Speaker 3: limit of thirty kilometers an hour throughout the CBD have
- 1:04Speaker 3: listened to Lord Mayor Jane Lomax Smith tell ABC Radio
- 1:09Speaker 3: that improving safety came down to two options. Either a
- 1:12Speaker 3: thirty k speed limit, or getting motorists to wear helmets.
- 1:19Speaker 6: I mean, we will be much safer if we were
- 1:21Speaker 6: padded around our seats and all will crash helmets inside
- 1:25Speaker 6: a car, But it's not going to take off because
- 1:27Speaker 6: that's going too far. The speed limits are important because
- 1:31Speaker 6: ninety percent you're going to die if you're hit by
- 1:33Speaker 6: a car at fifty kilometers an hour, and it's down
- 1:35Speaker 6: to ten percent if you're only going thirty.
- 1:39Speaker 3: So, following this logic, if the car is doing thirty
- 1:42Speaker 3: ks an hour and hits a pedestrian, there's only a
- 1:45Speaker 3: ten percent likelihood of that person dying. Why not just
- 1:47Speaker 3: make it a fifteen k speed limit and reduce the
- 1:49Speaker 3: likelihood of death to five percent or better yet, have
- 1:52Speaker 3: motorists disassemble their cars when they reach the city and
- 1:55Speaker 3: carry them on their backs. Or they could introduce the
- 1:58Speaker 3: UK's red flag policy for eighteen sixty five, where motorists
- 2:02Speaker 3: were required to have a pedestrian walk in front of them,
- 2:04Speaker 3: waving a red flag to warn bystanders that a vehicle
- 2:08Speaker 3: was approaching. Or they could just tell pedestrians to get
- 2:10Speaker 3: off their phones when they're crossing the road. This is
- 2:13Speaker 3: a council that has eat scooters shooting down pathways without
- 2:18Speaker 3: regard for pedestrian safety. But they're trying to stop drivers
- 2:22Speaker 3: from driving at a reasonable speed.
- 2:24Speaker 2: Caleb.
- 2:25Speaker 3: This may save the life of a pedestrian, but it
- 2:27Speaker 3: will totally killed trade within the CBD, won't it.
- 2:30Speaker 4: They've already tried this well, actually not quite as bad.
- 2:33Speaker 4: They didn't try thirty.
- 2:34Speaker 1: Kilometers an hour.
- 2:35Speaker 4: But under these turchip of Stephen Yarwood when he was
- 2:39Speaker 4: the Lord Mayor some teen odd years ago, he was
- 2:42Speaker 4: driving around in an electric vehicle back then as well,
- 2:44Speaker 4: it should be noted, must be one of the first
- 2:46Speaker 4: blokes who ever did so. But quite proudly he always
- 2:49Speaker 4: had it parked out at the front of the town hall.
- 2:51Speaker 1: But they reduced the speed limit to.
- 2:52Speaker 4: Forty kilometers an hour, and I think that lasted about
- 2:55Speaker 4: a year and then everyone got the urates with it
- 2:57Speaker 4: and away it went. Because you know, you want people
- 2:59Speaker 4: to come to the CBD, right, you want them to
- 3:02Speaker 4: come into the city and shop.
- 3:04Speaker 1: What a great way.
- 3:04Speaker 4: To turn people away, say oh, you've got to go
- 3:07Speaker 4: thirty kilometers an hour through the whole thing. Now, this
- 3:10Speaker 4: is a proposal that's come back to the staff. I
- 3:13Speaker 4: mean It's stipped more and more ridiculous the more you
- 3:15Speaker 4: look at it. So the last council, this council was
- 3:18Speaker 4: elected in twenty twenty two, I think so the last
- 3:23Speaker 4: council commissioned this work to be done. So it has
- 3:26Speaker 4: taken years for the staff to come back and say
- 3:29Speaker 4: to the councilors, here's some proposals about what we could
- 3:32Speaker 4: do with the speed limit. You know what they've spent
- 3:34Speaker 4: on doing all of that, one hundred and thirty thousand dollars.
- 3:39Speaker 4: The Council's been one hundred and thirty thousand dollars to
- 3:43Speaker 4: come back and say that they should reduce the speed
- 3:45Speaker 4: limit to thirty k. It is simply anti car. They
- 3:51Speaker 4: don't want people to drive cars. But the problem is
- 3:55Speaker 4: particularly in a city like Adelaide. Like even in Sydney,
- 3:59Speaker 4: you can get away with public transport and whatever. Adelaide
- 4:02Speaker 4: just doesn't have the same public transport network.
- 4:04Speaker 1: Let's help people get around in cars.
- 4:07Speaker 4: Can you believe you can even park your car in
- 4:09Speaker 4: the CBD in Adelaide for a reasonable price, that's how
- 4:12Speaker 4: the city operates. You put it down to thirty k
- 4:15Speaker 4: an hour. No one will go there. I'm telling you
- 4:17Speaker 4: no one will go there.
- 4:19Speaker 7: Look, honestly, I just think this is pure rage bait.
- 4:22Speaker 7: They've had a workshop, that's all. So actually to say
- 4:26Speaker 7: that the council is proposing fake news as city councilor myself, No,
- 4:33Speaker 7: Actually the work was outsourced to a firm called Standtech,
- 4:37Speaker 7: which is an engineering firm, so even the council themselves
- 4:41Speaker 7: hadn't done the works.
- 4:42Speaker 2: Most of the councilors are in favor of.
- 4:44Speaker 5: This super come back with three three options.
- 4:48Speaker 7: Because we're reviewing the CBD speed limits, this is one
- 4:52Speaker 7: of the three options. Whether it will get up or not,
- 4:55Speaker 7: I don't think it is very likely at all.
- 5:00Speaker 2: Solids.
- 5:01Speaker 7: One of us used to be a city councilor and
- 5:03Speaker 7: it happens to be me.
- 5:05Speaker 5: These workshops.
- 5:07Speaker 1: Do you attend them the time?
- 5:10Speaker 5: Yes, but this is the inner workings. You attend them
- 5:13Speaker 5: all the time.
- 5:14Speaker 7: Proposals come across your desk constantly, and yes, it's your
- 5:18Speaker 7: job to be across them and vet the stupid ones,
- 5:21Speaker 7: which I'm sure unless these guys have rocks in their heads,
- 5:25Speaker 7: they will do. I wouldn't get too excited about it.
- 5:28Speaker 7: Adeladians do not listen to these.
- 5:31Speaker 5: Guys who are clearly just trying to freak you out.
- 5:34Speaker 7: This is rage bait and nothing more until there's actually
- 5:38Speaker 7: a proposal before counsel.
- 5:40Speaker 5: It's going to a council.
- 5:42Speaker 7: Meeting, which all of these counselors would know the outcry
- 5:46Speaker 7: from the public if it actually went that.
- 5:48Speaker 3: I can I just say it's not rage baite because
- 5:50Speaker 3: the Lord mayor herself you heard her, went on radio
- 5:53Speaker 3: and said this is a serious proposal. They spent an
- 5:55Speaker 3: hour and a half last night looking at it, and
- 5:58Speaker 3: the majority of counselors, according to the Adelaide Advertiser, like
- 6:01Speaker 3: the idea, there wasn't.
- 6:03Speaker 7: The majority of counselors at all. Also, they wouldn't reveal
- 6:07Speaker 7: that there was one quoted in the article you said
- 6:10Speaker 7: he was completely against it. Nowhere in the article does
- 6:12Speaker 7: it say the majority of counselors are.
- 6:14Speaker 5: On board at all.
- 6:15Speaker 2: I think you did.
- 6:16Speaker 7: Very rarely, the councilors very rarely flag how they're going
- 6:20Speaker 7: to vote on anything, especially when it's not actually going
- 6:24Speaker 7: to counsel.
- 6:26Speaker 4: Just you wait, will it will just you wait, just
- 6:29Speaker 4: you wait. Something tells me something bad is going to happen.
- 6:34Speaker 4: Bad things that are happening with Once upon a time,
- 6:38Speaker 4: Jaguar was basically the picture of a beautiful English car, right,
- 6:42Speaker 4: I mean you think of the mark too. I think
- 6:45Speaker 4: that was Inspector Morse's vehicle, the x J six. I
- 6:49Speaker 4: mean they were beautiful pieces of metal. You could look
- 6:53Speaker 4: at them and go, yes, that is something I would
- 6:55Speaker 4: want to drive around him. Well, Jaguar, these days you've
- 6:58Speaker 4: got some lovely example. I mean, look at that. That
- 7:01Speaker 4: is when cars were great. Make cars great again. There's
- 7:04Speaker 4: something for Donald Trump to take up. But the once
- 7:07Speaker 4: great brand that was Jaguar has now decided they're getting
- 7:11Speaker 4: out of the petrol market altogether. They've ceased selling new vehicles.
- 7:15Speaker 4: They're going to come back in twenty twenty six with
- 7:18Speaker 4: all electric vehicles. They thought, right, we need a new
- 7:22Speaker 4: campaign and we need a new logo to announce ourselves
- 7:25Speaker 4: to the world as the brand new Jaguar.
- 7:28Speaker 1: Watch this ad and tell.
- 7:29Speaker 8: Me is there anything missing?
- 8:01Speaker 1: Did you see a car? There?
- 8:02Speaker 2: No car, nor did I.
- 8:05Speaker 4: Jaguar is advertising themselves as some sort of I don't know.
- 8:08Speaker 1: Woke, trendy old look at us.
- 8:10Speaker 4: We've got some weird outfits in our ads.
- 8:13Speaker 1: Not literally, not one car to be seen now.
- 8:17Speaker 4: Of course, The response was swift online, with people making
- 8:20Speaker 4: exactly that point. Where is the car? Why do you
- 8:24Speaker 4: think that this is the appropriate way.
- 8:26Speaker 1: To sell a car?
- 8:28Speaker 4: It smacks so much of when bud Light, of course
- 8:31Speaker 4: signed up per Dylan Mulvaaney the transgender TikToker, to promote
- 8:35Speaker 4: their beer, and then of course sales plummeted directly after
- 8:38Speaker 4: that because people said, oh, hang on a minute, men
- 8:41Speaker 4: generally drink beer, and here we are trying to market
- 8:44Speaker 4: beer to men with a transgender woman who is actually
- 8:48Speaker 4: a man but not actually a woman. I mean, what
- 8:50Speaker 4: on earth do they think they are playing it? Go woke,
- 8:53Speaker 4: go broke, And I suspect that is exactly what will
- 8:55Speaker 4: happen with Jacob.
- 8:56Speaker 7: I wish I was sat at the marketing meetings. When
- 8:59Speaker 7: I see an ad like this, I'm just like, Okay,
- 9:02Speaker 7: how did this happen? You're sitting there and no doubt
- 9:05Speaker 7: the mahogany walled officers of Jaguar, and you say, he's
- 9:10Speaker 7: bear with me.
- 9:11Speaker 9: Here.
- 9:11Speaker 7: We're going to have a pile of androgynous looking people.
- 9:15Speaker 7: You won't be able to tell whether they are male
- 9:17Speaker 7: or female, wearing dresses that certainly no woman would wear dead,
- 9:23Speaker 7: and they're just going to kind of walk out.
- 9:25Speaker 5: Of a lift, stand around for a bit.
- 9:27Speaker 7: At the very end they'll be sitting down, then get
- 9:30Speaker 7: up and walk off.
- 9:31Speaker 5: What do you reckon?
- 9:32Speaker 7: And we're going to have just completely ambiguous meaning things
- 9:36Speaker 7: flashing up on the screenlight, live, vivid, delete, ordinary, break, mould, copy,
- 9:42Speaker 7: nothing except Jaguar. You look like you've copied every single
- 9:47Speaker 7: woke company who has tried this and failed for years.
- 9:51Speaker 7: Remember last year, Seafolly was like, oh, we're going to
- 9:54Speaker 7: have a trans ambassador.
- 9:55Speaker 5: Now, this is a.
- 9:57Speaker 7: Marketing ploy for women's bikinis, and they decided to have
- 10:03Speaker 7: a trans ambassador that had a full beard and very obvious.
- 10:07Speaker 7: Genitalia failed miserably. Remember in twenty nineteen where Jillette We're like,
- 10:13Speaker 7: we're going to create a heartwarming scene of a man
- 10:17Speaker 7: teaching his trans son how to shave, although by virtue
- 10:22Speaker 7: of being a girl there was nothing to actually shave.
- 10:26Speaker 7: I mean, this has never gone well. You use the
- 10:29Speaker 7: example of bud Light. Absolutely, that's a very famous recent one.
- 10:33Speaker 7: Now the same goes for all the woke movies. The
- 10:37Speaker 7: Rainbow Mafia get into these institutions, somehow market these ideas,
- 10:42Speaker 7: but it never ever has once gone well for any
- 10:47Speaker 7: company Why why would Jag you go for this? I
- 10:51Speaker 7: wonder if, although this would be a very late apology,
- 10:54Speaker 7: if this has anything to do with the trans employee
- 10:57Speaker 7: who who successfully sued them back in twenty because they
- 11:01Speaker 7: felt that they hadn't been supported enough transitioning.
- 11:05Speaker 5: At work, their work being Jaguar.
- 11:09Speaker 7: It's just a hunch, but I'm like, this would be
- 11:12Speaker 7: a very late mea culper if it's got anything to
- 11:14Speaker 7: do with that.
- 11:15Speaker 5: I'm just trying to come up with a reason, pretty.
- 11:18Speaker 4: Good way to just like trash the entire brand that
- 11:21Speaker 4: is Jaguar. Like that is the most bizarre thing about
- 11:23Speaker 4: this to me is that Jaguar, like I was saying before,
- 11:26Speaker 4: used to be a picture of class.
- 11:28Speaker 1: It was a status symbol.
- 11:29Speaker 4: You know, I'm driving around in a Jag right, and
- 11:33Speaker 4: now it's just going to be like every other work
- 11:35Speaker 4: corporate Oh look, I'm driving around in my vehicle in
- 11:38Speaker 4: a weird dress and a funny haircut.
- 11:40Speaker 1: Like, what does that tell the world.
- 11:42Speaker 4: I'm driving around in an electric Jaguar belonging to a
- 11:46Speaker 4: company that once upon a time was a Titan, a
- 11:48Speaker 4: British manufacturer.
- 11:49Speaker 3: I just love their slogan copy nothing Well, they're going
- 11:52Speaker 3: to sell nothing. It's like they typed into an AI bot,
- 11:56Speaker 3: you know, create a thirty second commercial that will absolutely
- 11:59Speaker 3: destroy our and the.
- 12:01Speaker 2: AI bot made good.
- 12:03Speaker 3: Someone wrote in the comments to one of the articles
- 12:05Speaker 3: on this, this makes me want to sell my Jaguar,
- 12:08Speaker 3: and I don't even have a Jaguar, which I think
- 12:10Speaker 3: many of us can identify. Within the sixties and the seventies,
- 12:14Speaker 3: Jaguar advertise themselves as grace, space and pace.
- 12:19Speaker 2: That's good, but this going bold copying nothing.
- 12:22Speaker 3: They're going electric nine years before the EU have mandated it.
- 12:26Speaker 2: They are copying everything.
- 12:28Speaker 3: The people I feel sorry for, however, are not so
- 12:30Speaker 3: much the Jaguar drivers who will frankly be embarrassed driving
- 12:33Speaker 3: their Jaguar after seeing that ad. But it's the thousands
- 12:36Speaker 3: of employees who work for Jaguar who rely upon Jaguar
- 12:40Speaker 3: for their income to be able to put food on
- 12:42Speaker 3: the table, whose jobs will be imperiled based on this commercial.
- 12:46Speaker 3: If it goes anything like bud Light, sales will go
- 12:50Speaker 3: through the floor and will all laugh at Jaguar. But
- 12:53Speaker 3: there's good people who work for the company whose jobs
- 12:55Speaker 3: are jeopardized because they go woke and put stupid ads
- 12:58Speaker 3: like this.
- 12:58Speaker 7: Well, it sounds like the already jeopardized. With Jagua going
- 13:02Speaker 7: one hundred percent electrics so quickly, the demand for electric
- 13:05Speaker 7: cars has not been very high.
- 13:08Speaker 5: Do you guys pay any attention to the markets to.
- 13:10Speaker 7: Capitol Hill now, where the war over biological men in
- 13:15Speaker 7: women's bathrooms and locker rooms and other private spaces has
- 13:20Speaker 7: just kicked off a new Can you believe it? We
- 13:24Speaker 7: actually do have a brand new Democratic rep in the
- 13:27Speaker 7: House after.
- 13:28Speaker 5: The red wave that we just saw.
- 13:31Speaker 7: However, this time, Sarah McBride, her name is, She's a
- 13:35Speaker 7: Democrat from Delaware, has just been elected. And this is
- 13:39Speaker 7: the first transgender congress person ever in the history.
- 13:45Speaker 5: Of the Capital. And so Nancy Nancy Mace.
- 13:50Speaker 1: Rep.
- 13:51Speaker 5: Nancy Mace.
- 13:52Speaker 7: I always got to call them MPs, but they're reps
- 13:54Speaker 7: over there.
- 13:55Speaker 1: Rep.
- 13:55Speaker 7: Nancy Mace has wasted no time whatsoever putting up a
- 13:59Speaker 7: motion to ensure that there will be no biological men
- 14:03Speaker 7: in the bathrooms on Capitol Hill.
- 14:06Speaker 5: Here she is explaining her decision. I'm not going to
- 14:10Speaker 5: stand for a man.
- 14:12Speaker 9: You know, if someone with the penis is in the
- 14:13Speaker 9: women's locker room, that's not okay. And I'm a victim
- 14:17Speaker 9: of abuse myself. I'm a rape survivor. I have PTSD
- 14:20Speaker 9: from the abuse I've suffered at the hands of a man.
- 14:22Speaker 9: I'm absolutely, one hundred percent going to stand in the
- 14:25Speaker 9: way of any man who wants to be in a
- 14:28Speaker 9: women's restroom, in our locker rooms, in our changing rooms.
- 14:33Speaker 5: I love this woman. She is absolutely fearless.
- 14:36Speaker 7: This has gone completely viral because it's taken this well
- 14:40Speaker 7: known locker room fight in the States to the very
- 14:44Speaker 7: heart of Capital Hill.
- 14:47Speaker 5: And she's not standing for anything.
- 14:49Speaker 7: She's already copped a lot of flak, but the vast
- 14:53Speaker 7: majority of support from what I can see on social media,
- 14:58Speaker 7: and of course nothing brings out the crazies like declarations
- 15:02Speaker 7: as unapologetic as hers. Here's just one of the people
- 15:08Speaker 7: online now threatening to take her.
- 15:11Speaker 10: Life, Congresswoman Nancy Mace. I hope that one day I
- 15:16Speaker 10: do find through in that woman's bathroom and I grab
- 15:19Speaker 10: you're ready looking hair and drag your face down to
- 15:24Speaker 10: the floor while I repeatedly bash it and until the
- 15:29Speaker 10: blood's everywhere.
- 15:31Speaker 7: He's in fifty million not to have biological men in
- 15:36Speaker 7: women's change rooms. Of course, I'm not suggesting that that's
- 15:39Speaker 7: every trans woman, but that was one of many videos
- 15:44Speaker 7: that we could have showed you tonight, directly meant for
- 15:48Speaker 7: the congress woman and to make.
- 15:50Speaker 5: Her back down.
- 15:52Speaker 7: It was utterly disgusting to be watching these today. I mean,
- 15:55Speaker 7: if you want to be in female bathrooms so bad
- 15:59Speaker 7: you're willing to kill for it. Wow, okay, way to
- 16:02Speaker 7: tell us you do not belong in female bathrooms at all.
- 16:06Speaker 7: And Nancy wasn't backing down when she was accosted. This
- 16:09Speaker 7: is one of many reporters who tried it on with
- 16:12Speaker 7: her today and once again she wasn't giving an inch.
- 16:17Speaker 9: Should legislation be created targeted at one specific person, it
- 16:20Speaker 9: doesn't mention anyone in the legislation, but you've said it,
- 16:23Speaker 9: it was aimed at her. Now I have said it's
- 16:25Speaker 9: a result of this, I'm not going to allow biological
- 16:28Speaker 9: men into women's private spaces. I will stand in the
- 16:31Speaker 9: brain and stand in the way of anyone on the
- 16:32Speaker 9: radical laugh who thinks that it's okay for a penis
- 16:35Speaker 9: to be in a women's locker room.
- 16:37Speaker 5: I love it.
- 16:38Speaker 7: Zero apology, zero acquiescence. Every capitulation to the left emboldens it.
- 16:44Speaker 5: She will not back down.
- 16:46Speaker 7: Strength to your arm, Nancy, I don't care what gender
- 16:51Speaker 7: people identify as. What repulses me every single time when
- 16:56Speaker 7: this debate comes up, whether it's biological men in female
- 17:00Speaker 7: sports or something like this where we're talking about women's
- 17:03Speaker 7: private spaces.
- 17:04Speaker 5: What I find utterly revolting.
- 17:06Speaker 7: Is that anyone can be so entitled, so disconcerned with
- 17:12Speaker 7: the discomfort you are causing so many others, being the
- 17:16Speaker 7: vast majority of women, and especially a rape survivor like Nancy,
- 17:21Speaker 7: someone who knows that and just goes, I don't care.
- 17:25Speaker 7: This is my right, and I will be in your spaces.
- 17:28Speaker 7: I don't care that it makes you uncomfortable. This is
- 17:31Speaker 7: about me and my rights and making me feel uncomfortable
- 17:35Speaker 7: that just fills me with revulsion.
- 17:38Speaker 5: Nothing to do with someone's gender.
- 17:40Speaker 7: Anyone who treats other people with such utter contempt just
- 17:45Speaker 7: absolutely repulfully.
- 17:47Speaker 3: And the way languages manipulated and emotions are manipulated in
- 17:50Speaker 3: this debate is quite fascinating. Serah McBride, who is the
- 17:53Speaker 3: transgendered Democrats, said that in going to Capitol Hill. Sera McBride, so,
- 17:59Speaker 3: I hope you black kind. Well, it's not kind to
- 18:03Speaker 3: ignore biology. It's not kind to ignore the traumatic experiences.
- 18:07Speaker 3: Of women who have been raped and disregard their fears
- 18:10Speaker 3: and anxieties. It's not kind to ignore women's safety. But
- 18:15Speaker 3: all of these terms get manipulated and twisted in this
- 18:21Speaker 3: attempt to appeal to people's better angels in order to
- 18:24Speaker 3: get them to do what you want them to do
- 18:27Speaker 3: out of your selfish ambition. Sarah McBride, before she went
- 18:31Speaker 3: to the Capitol Hill, she was a human rights activists,
- 18:35Speaker 3: which also always amuses me that human rights activists seem
- 18:39Speaker 3: to know nothing about human rights at all, just wanting
- 18:43Speaker 3: to bully their way through things. Mike Johnson, who's the
- 18:46Speaker 3: speaker at the Capitol he was asked, so is Sarah
- 18:50Speaker 3: McBride actually a man or a woman?
- 18:52Speaker 2: This was his response, Din's freshman elect Sarah mcbridel.
- 18:58Speaker 6: Or a woman.
- 19:00Speaker 11: Look, I'm not going to get into this. We welcome
- 19:03Speaker 11: all new members with open arms who are duly electric
- 19:06Speaker 11: representatives of the people. I believe it's a command we
- 19:12Speaker 11: treat all persons with dignity and respect that we will
- 19:15Speaker 11: and I'm not going to engage in silly debates about this.
- 19:19Speaker 3: So he's asked a pretty straightforward question, is this person
- 19:21Speaker 3: a male or a female? And he responds with I'm kind.
- 19:25Speaker 3: No one's questioning whether you're kind or unkind. They're just
- 19:28Speaker 3: asking is a male or a female. Now, obviously he
- 19:32Speaker 3: got a call, probably from Donald Trump that afternoon, because
- 19:34Speaker 3: a few hours later he clarified what he believes.
- 19:38Speaker 11: I was asked a question this morning at the leadership gaggle,
- 19:41Speaker 11: and I rejected the premise because the answer is so
- 19:44Speaker 11: obvious for anybody who doesn't know my well established record
- 19:48Speaker 11: on this issue. Let me be unequivocally clear. A man
- 19:52Speaker 11: is a man, and a woman is a woman, and
- 19:55Speaker 11: a man cannot become a woman. That said, I also
- 19:59Speaker 11: believe that's what scriptful teachers, what I just said, but
- 20:03Speaker 11: I also believe that we treat everybody with dignity, and
- 20:06Speaker 11: so we can do and believe all those things.
- 20:08Speaker 3: At the same time, noticing he did it again, A
- 20:12Speaker 3: man is a man, a woman as a woman. A
- 20:13Speaker 3: man can't become a woman. That said, I'm kind. People
- 20:18Speaker 3: need to stop doing this thing where you know what,
- 20:20Speaker 3: but I'm still a nice person, even though I subscribe
- 20:23Speaker 3: to biology. Forget doing that, because the more you insist
- 20:27Speaker 3: but I'm a kind person, the more you play into
- 20:29Speaker 3: this narrative. Just state the facts and take it for granted.
- 20:33Speaker 3: In stating the facts, I'm not being unkind or disrespectful.
- 20:37Speaker 2: I don't need to prove.
- 20:38Speaker 4: That Mike Johnson looks so uncomfortable in that clip there, right, like,
- 20:43Speaker 4: because he's walking this final and we're going to get
- 20:46Speaker 4: in trouble if I say this.
- 20:48Speaker 1: It's you don't get in trouble apart.
- 20:50Speaker 4: From lunatics for stating obvious facts, right. And the point
- 20:56Speaker 4: here is that you are allowed to make people feel
- 20:59Speaker 4: mentally uncomfortable.
- 21:00Speaker 1: Right.
- 21:00Speaker 4: If you're walking down the streets in a public space
- 21:03Speaker 4: and someone sees a transgender person, they go, oh.
- 21:05Speaker 1: I don't like that. That's a public space, that's fine.
- 21:08Speaker 4: What we're talking about is a bathroom, a locker room,
- 21:12Speaker 4: a change room, a place where your physical safety can
- 21:16Speaker 4: be under threat. It is entirely reasonable for biological women
- 21:20Speaker 4: to say I don't want someone with a penis walking
- 21:24Speaker 4: into my bathroom. Now, the argument from the other side is, oh,
- 21:28Speaker 4: but you know, I feel more comfortable as a transgender
- 21:30Speaker 4: woman going into that bathroom. It makes me feel uncomfortable
- 21:35Speaker 4: in these situations, it's not about what makes you comfortable,
- 21:38Speaker 4: it's about the safety of others.
- 21:40Speaker 1: And as a bloke.
- 21:41Speaker 4: If someone walks into a bathroom who looks like a
- 21:45Speaker 4: woman and has a penis, as a man into the men's.
- 21:47Speaker 1: Bathroom, I couldn't give a hoot, right because it's different
- 21:50Speaker 1: for men. Men and women are different.
- 21:53Speaker 4: I couldn't care who comes into the bathroom with me
- 21:55Speaker 4: because I'm a man and I have a different level
- 21:58Speaker 4: of physical safety and comfortableness about the people I'm around
- 22:02Speaker 4: than a woman obviously would. And to not take notice
- 22:05Speaker 4: of that yourself and say, well, I should have access
- 22:08Speaker 4: to a woman's bathroom even though I have a penis,
- 22:11Speaker 4: as you said before, is the height of selfishness and entitlement.
- 22:16Speaker 7: It's utterly revolting. And to see Mike Johnson, who is
- 22:20Speaker 7: he kept quoting the Bible and did so in both
- 22:23Speaker 7: those clips.
- 22:24Speaker 5: I don't think Trump called him.
- 22:26Speaker 7: His base is the Bible belt basically of America. They
- 22:30Speaker 7: would have been absolutely disgusted by that apologetic, limpriested response.
- 22:36Speaker 7: He had to face the press again to be like,
- 22:38Speaker 7: oh okay, so just to be clear, and then basically
- 22:43Speaker 7: did the same thing.
- 22:44Speaker 5: We need to bottle.
- 22:45Speaker 7: Matt Gates, who hopefully will be Attorney General as he
- 22:49Speaker 7: is Trump's pick.
- 22:50Speaker 5: You may remember the clip of him that we showed.
- 22:52Speaker 7: You some nights ago where a reporter said, you said
- 22:56Speaker 7: this and people are offended.
- 22:58Speaker 5: Do you have a problem with that? Response was be offended.
- 23:02Speaker 5: I don't care.
- 23:03Speaker 7: I back myself. I meant what I said. I'm sticking
- 23:06Speaker 7: with it. I'm not going to capitulate to you. So
- 23:09Speaker 7: even when we have Mike Johnson coming out saying, well,
- 23:12Speaker 7: I'm saying the right thing, but I'm doing so in
- 23:16Speaker 7: such a way that I'm still trying to, you know,
- 23:19Speaker 7: tickle the fancies of both sides, it's just pathetic. That
- 23:22Speaker 7: doesn't work with the left. And notice they never try
- 23:26Speaker 7: that with us. They're never trying to play fair with us.
- 23:29Speaker 7: They're never trying to keep everyone happy. No, it's their
- 23:32Speaker 7: way or the high way.
- 23:33Speaker 3: The thing that made me laugh about Mike Johnson is
- 23:35Speaker 3: he said, you know, men and men, women are women.
- 23:37Speaker 2: That's what the Bible teaches.
- 23:38Speaker 3: Why are you quoting the Bible as evidence for biology?
- 23:42Speaker 2: The Bible is irrelevant on the point of biology knows
- 23:45Speaker 2: this base.
- 23:46Speaker 3: He knows they in the USA, a week before the election,
- 23:49Speaker 3: there was a poll in The Independent that found ninety
- 23:52Speaker 3: five percent of Democrats feared that Trump would not accept
- 23:55Speaker 3: the result if he lost the election. Well, Trump won
- 23:58Speaker 3: the election. Democrats who won't accept the result.
- 24:04Speaker 12: This is for President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and
- 24:07Speaker 12: all the Democrats that are in office. Do something.
- 24:11Speaker 5: Stop this. You tell us for months what a.
- 24:16Speaker 12: Danger this man is, and now he is proving it
- 24:19Speaker 12: to everybody, and you guys are nowhere to be found
- 24:22Speaker 12: and nothing is being done.
- 24:23Speaker 5: We stood by.
- 24:24Speaker 12: You, we did everything you asked us to do, and
- 24:27Speaker 12: then you just conceded and disappeared. And now we are
- 24:30Speaker 12: all facing the hell that is coming.
- 24:34Speaker 3: So the Democrats want their representatives to do something. Well,
- 24:38Speaker 3: in Pennsylvania, the Democrats are doing something about the election result.
- 24:42Speaker 3: The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that mail in ballots which
- 24:45Speaker 3: were not properly dated or.
- 24:47Speaker 2: Signed could not be counted.
- 24:49Speaker 3: But the Pennsylvania Electoral Commission, which is dominated by Democrats,
- 24:53Speaker 3: took a vote and decided they're going to ignore the
- 24:56Speaker 3: Supreme Court ruling and count those invalid votes.
- 24:59Speaker 2: Anyway.
- 24:59Speaker 6: Look, we reject all three categories of these ballots.
- 25:06Speaker 13: The emotion is to reject or dismiss the challenges in
- 25:09Speaker 13: this category in.
- 25:10Speaker 14: Front of you.
- 25:11Speaker 15: Correct, yep, not going to second, that mostly because I
- 25:15Speaker 15: think we all know that precedent by a court doesn't
- 25:18Speaker 15: matter anymore in this country, and people violate laws anytime
- 25:22Speaker 15: they want. So for me, if I violate this law,
- 25:25Speaker 15: it's because I want a court to pay attention to it.
- 25:28Speaker 3: But held on a second, didn't We spend weeks, months,
- 25:31Speaker 3: a few years hearing how Donald Trump didn't care about
- 25:34Speaker 3: the law at all, that he didn't care about fairness
- 25:38Speaker 3: or playing by the rules. And now the Democrats are
- 25:40Speaker 3: straight out saying, well, that's just what the court said,
- 25:42Speaker 3: but we don't care what the court says.
- 25:44Speaker 2: We'll make our own rules.
- 25:45Speaker 3: They said that to discard ballots because of a clerical
- 25:48Speaker 3: error was to deny people their constitutional rights. And maybe
- 25:52Speaker 3: you could argue about a clerical error and whether that
- 25:55Speaker 3: should be counted or not, but the bottom line is,
- 25:58Speaker 3: if the court says it shouldn't be care mounted, well.
- 26:01Speaker 2: You either have laws or you don't have laws.
- 26:03Speaker 3: And you can't accuse Trump of being a law breaker
- 26:06Speaker 3: and then boast when it doesn't go your way that
- 26:08Speaker 3: you're going to ignore the law.
- 26:09Speaker 4: You're not telling me that the Dems are a threat
- 26:11Speaker 4: to democracy.
- 26:12Speaker 1: Are you? Oh my god.
- 26:14Speaker 4: I cannot believe it, Like, seriously, these people don't even
- 26:19Speaker 4: know the irony of what they're doing here to said oh, well,
- 26:22Speaker 4: you know, people just break the law all the time,
- 26:24Speaker 4: so we don't Why don't we just break the law. Well,
- 26:26Speaker 4: you can't in one breath say that we must uphold
- 26:29Speaker 4: the law and then in the other say, well, because
- 26:31Speaker 4: other people are breaking the law, that now means I
- 26:34Speaker 4: want to do it. They carried on about, oh, you know,
- 26:37Speaker 4: last time Donald Trump said those stole real lurkum that
- 26:40Speaker 4: it was potently not true. Well, that's exactly what they're
- 26:43Speaker 4: trying to do now, and they were doing it three
- 26:46Speaker 4: months before the election even kicked off. As we talked
- 26:48Speaker 4: about many times, the states, multiple states tried to remove
- 26:54Speaker 4: from their electoral roles or asked for just basic details
- 26:58Speaker 4: about who we're on their electoral roles so they could
- 27:00Speaker 4: remove illegal immigrants and whatever so that they couldn't vote
- 27:03Speaker 4: in the election, and the Department of Justice, the DOJ
- 27:06Speaker 4: came along and took the states to court and said, no,
- 27:10Speaker 4: you can't do that because you missed the cutoff day
- 27:12Speaker 4: by two days or some nonsense. They tried absolutely everything
- 27:16Speaker 4: on to make sure their people could get over the line,
- 27:19Speaker 4: and they are still doing it long.
- 27:22Speaker 7: And this really matters because that commission that you just
- 27:26Speaker 7: told shift us defying the Supreme Court in Pennsylvania. This
- 27:32Speaker 7: really matters because Pennsylvania, in their specific county is having
- 27:37Speaker 7: a recount because in that part of the world, if
- 27:40Speaker 7: you win by less than zero point five percent of
- 27:45Speaker 7: total votes counted, there has to be recount, and that
- 27:48Speaker 7: costs the county a million dollars to do. But because
- 27:52Speaker 7: it's so close, they want to be careful. So the
- 27:55Speaker 7: Supreme Court, having seen their defiance, has now handed down
- 28:00Speaker 7: another written order saying you cannot count these and have
- 28:05Speaker 7: actually demanded Pennsylvania stop counting all together.
- 28:09Speaker 5: So whether they'll stick with that or not, who knows.
- 28:12Speaker 7: But check out what's happening in California, as there's this
- 28:16Speaker 7: seat that seems to be suddenly changing from red to blue.
- 28:21Speaker 7: Despite the fact that the incumbent Republican was looking well.
- 28:26Speaker 5: In the lead, they are still counting. So the first
- 28:31Speaker 5: question here is, what the heck.
- 28:33Speaker 7: Are you still doing counting ballots in California? Who are
- 28:37Speaker 7: you getting to count these for you? How is this
- 28:40Speaker 7: possible in the twenty first century? What is taking so long?
- 28:43Speaker 7: But it hasn't escaped. The Hawkeyes of certain Republicans in
- 28:48Speaker 7: the area are going, hang on a minute, look at
- 28:51Speaker 7: the ridiculous trajectory of the guy running for the Blue team.
- 28:56Speaker 7: So did you just stop counting Republicans votes because our
- 29:01Speaker 7: guy was in the lead, our lady rather in this instance,
- 29:05Speaker 7: and then all of a sudden, you've got thousands more to.
- 29:08Speaker 5: Vote and they're only going to the Blue team. What
- 29:12Speaker 5: are the odds? What are the odds? And now the Democrats.
- 29:16Speaker 7: Look set to win the forty fifth congressional seat of
- 29:20Speaker 7: California off the back of this absolute sham.
- 29:24Speaker 3: I think it's pretty obvious what they do. They just
- 29:26Speaker 3: keep counting until they're candidate wins, and then they stop counting.
- 29:30Speaker 3: And as he said, it's amazing how the more they count,
- 29:32Speaker 3: the more the votes seem to go in only one.
- 29:35Speaker 1: You know, we're James. We've got to stop the steal.
- 29:38Speaker 1: We had to stop the steal right now.
- 29:41Speaker 2: I'm awesome.
- 29:42Speaker 7: I know it sounds insiety, This sounds pretty insighting.
- 29:46Speaker 1: Terrible, terrible, terrible.
- 29:47Speaker 4: One bloke who's worried he might have his job stolen
- 29:50Speaker 4: from him, of course, is Kevin rad former Prime Minister
- 29:53Speaker 4: now our ambassador over in the US, and we know
- 29:56Speaker 4: what he posted online about Donald Trump that he then
- 29:59Speaker 4: quickly deleted when Trump became president elect. We've seen a
- 30:02Speaker 4: new video just about every day come out of his
- 30:04Speaker 4: former comments about Donald Trump. Well, today he's put out
- 30:07Speaker 4: a statement saying, don't worry, We're ready to deal with Trump.
- 30:13Speaker 13: Here at the Embassy, we've been working hard through the
- 30:15Speaker 13: course of the last year to ensure that we were
- 30:19Speaker 13: well prepared for this moment, and the bottom line is
- 30:22Speaker 13: we're ready. The team here at the Embassy and the
- 30:26Speaker 13: Government of Australia are ready to work closely with the
- 30:29Speaker 13: new Trump administration to continue to realize the benefits of
- 30:33Speaker 13: what is a very strong economic and security partnership.
- 30:37Speaker 1: They've been preparing for a year to deal with a
- 30:41Speaker 1: new president. How much work do you possibly need to do?
- 30:44Speaker 7: They have delete a lot of tweets Kayler's calling him
- 30:50Speaker 7: the worst threat to democracy, dragging the US through the mud,
- 30:54Speaker 7: all the sledgers that he has leveled at Donald Trump,
- 30:58Speaker 7: thinking he was safe as houses the Democrats were going
- 31:01Speaker 7: to get in. Trump was none of his concerned baby. Well,
- 31:05Speaker 7: now he's been forced to eat humble pie.
- 31:08Speaker 5: I still hope they get rid of him.
- 31:09Speaker 7: I genuinely do, and I said it earlier this evening
- 31:12Speaker 7: on Chris Kenny.
- 31:13Speaker 5: Dutton should add getting.
- 31:15Speaker 7: Rid of Rudd out of the policy to his election promises.
- 31:20Speaker 7: I think it would go very well with the vast
- 31:23Speaker 7: majority of Australians. The Stautz was like, you vote in
- 31:26Speaker 7: a coalition government, I will get us a better ambassador
- 31:30Speaker 7: in our closest allies a country.
- 31:34Speaker 3: It's a hilarious to hear Kevin Rudd saying I am
- 31:36Speaker 3: ready to work with Donald Trump. That's not the issue.
- 31:39Speaker 3: The issue is Donald Trump ready to work with Kevin Rudd.
- 31:42Speaker 3: Kevin Rudd went on to say Australia's relationship with the
- 31:44Speaker 3: USA has never been more important exactly, that's why someone
- 31:47Speaker 3: else should be advocating for it. And if it was
- 31:50Speaker 3: that important, then Kevin Rudd should never have made those
- 31:53Speaker 3: comments calling Trump a village idiot and the most destructive
- 31:56Speaker 3: president in history. Let's go to the UK quickly, with
- 32:00Speaker 3: thousands of farmers have protested over an inheritance tax. That's
- 32:05Speaker 3: tax that's going to be introduced on farms worth a
- 32:08Speaker 3: million pounds or more. Now this will be a twenty
- 32:11Speaker 3: percent inheritance tax.
- 32:13Speaker 2: That will be charged.
- 32:14Speaker 3: Farmers are calling it a bankrupt tax because of course
- 32:18Speaker 3: farms are well asset rich, but you don't make a
- 32:21Speaker 3: lot of money in farming. In fact, they reckon they
- 32:23Speaker 3: make less than one percent of the value of the
- 32:26Speaker 3: property per year in the actual farming. So if you're
- 32:28Speaker 3: paying twenty percent of the value of the property over
- 32:31Speaker 3: ten years but you're only making one percent, you are
- 32:34Speaker 3: going backwards at a fast rate of nots. Jeremy Clarkson,
- 32:38Speaker 3: who's well known around the world, he attended the protest
- 32:41Speaker 3: and he spoke to protests.
- 32:43Speaker 2: I want to show you him.
- 32:43Speaker 3: Speaking at the rally about how bad this is and
- 32:46Speaker 3: saying the government must change their mind.
- 32:49Speaker 2: I want to show the grab where he's yes, this
- 32:51Speaker 2: is the one, let's go.
- 32:53Speaker 4: I beg of the government.
- 32:56Speaker 3: To be big, to accept that this was rushed through,
- 33:00Speaker 3: it wasn't throught out, and it's a mistake.
- 33:03Speaker 1: That's the big thing to do. Admit it and back down.
- 33:09Speaker 3: He's exactly right, colored this hasn't been thought through because
- 33:13Speaker 3: if they force farmers off the land, these are farmers
- 33:16Speaker 3: whose families have been farming for generations.
- 33:19Speaker 2: They won't be replaced because do you.
- 33:21Speaker 3: Know anybody who when you ask them when they're a
- 33:23Speaker 3: little kid, they're living in a city, what do you
- 33:24Speaker 3: want to do.
- 33:24Speaker 2: When you grow up? I want to go and zaf farm.
- 33:27Speaker 2: It's either in your blood or it's not.
- 33:29Speaker 3: And Andrew Lloyd Webber makes this point, and we might
- 33:32Speaker 3: go to him in a moment, that if farmers are
- 33:34Speaker 3: removed from their land, they won't be replaced who feeds the.
- 33:37Speaker 4: Country precisely because it's been exempt. Farms have been exempt
- 33:41Speaker 4: because exactly as you say, farmers are asset rich in
- 33:44Speaker 4: that they own the land, but they're cash poor.
- 33:47Speaker 1: They don't have cash on hand. So if you're going
- 33:49Speaker 1: to charge the kids twenty percent of.
- 33:52Speaker 4: The value of the farm for the farm to go
- 33:54Speaker 4: into their hands and they don't have the money, well
- 33:56Speaker 4: then they have to sell the farm, right Andrew Lloyd
- 33:59Speaker 4: Webber is as James just mentioned. Of course, Douan of
- 34:02Speaker 4: Musical Theater went down to the protest and pointed out
- 34:05Speaker 4: exactly that.
- 34:08Speaker 16: What is the fear, Andrew, What would your fear be
- 34:12Speaker 16: should this tax impact these farms in the longer term.
- 34:15Speaker 14: In the longer term, what will happen is they'll all
- 34:17Speaker 14: be bought by probably foreigners, outsiders, people who don't buy
- 34:22Speaker 14: it are not buying it for the love of the countryside.
- 34:25Speaker 14: They're buying it purely as a long term investment. Many many,
- 34:28Speaker 14: many people hovering around at the moment, rubbing their hands
- 34:32Speaker 14: in glee about all of this, you know, and they
- 34:35Speaker 14: I can shure you they're not British.
- 34:37Speaker 4: And if I go back to Jeremy Classon for a second,
- 34:40Speaker 4: he was being questioned by a BBC reporter who seemed
- 34:42Speaker 4: to be running government lines essentially, and it went as
- 34:45Speaker 4: well as you would expect with class So it's not
- 34:49Speaker 4: about you.
- 34:50Speaker 7: It's not about your farm and the fact that you
- 34:52Speaker 7: bought a farm to a boid inheritance.
- 34:53Speaker 2: Tax classic BBC.
- 34:57Speaker 5: Then classic, Oh yeah, where should they get the money from?
- 35:00Speaker 8: It's not.
- 35:03Speaker 1: Where that everyone you say that you should be paying
- 35:06Speaker 1: for everything.
- 35:08Speaker 4: And I think this is really important that Clarkson is there.
- 35:10Speaker 4: It's a bit like the Donald Trump thing, right.
- 35:13Speaker 1: Clarkson has plenty of cash.
- 35:15Speaker 4: If he wants to give his farm to his kids,
- 35:17Speaker 4: they're going to have the money to pay the inheritance tax.
- 35:19Speaker 1: It's of no.
- 35:20Speaker 4: Concern to him except that he believes in what he
- 35:23Speaker 4: is saying. He is a rich man standing up saying
- 35:26Speaker 4: you are getting a raw deal from the government, and
- 35:29Speaker 4: it is no coincidence that it is farmers that are
- 35:32Speaker 4: getting a raw deal from the government because they don't
- 35:35Speaker 4: want people landholders to actually contribute anything to the world,
- 35:40Speaker 4: because oh, could be carbon emissions involved.
- 35:42Speaker 7: I think it's very naive to say that, oh, this
- 35:45Speaker 7: just hasn't been thought through.
- 35:46Speaker 5: They've rushed through the legislation. Are you kidding me? Where
- 35:50Speaker 5: have you been? For years? The war on farmers have
- 35:53Speaker 5: ravaged Germany, who shut down in airport.
- 35:56Speaker 7: They brought hundreds of their tractors to protest in Germany.
- 36:01Speaker 7: In France, the farmers all charged in and famously were
- 36:05Speaker 7: dumping manure into the houses of Parliament because.
- 36:09Speaker 5: They too were being persecuted.
- 36:11Speaker 7: In the Netherlands, again there were thousands of tractors holding
- 36:17Speaker 7: entire cities besieged because they too were being persecuted. Ireland
- 36:23Speaker 7: farmers standing in their fields crying saying, the government is
- 36:27Speaker 7: taking my land, it is making my living just unlivable.
- 36:31Speaker 5: I can't do it anymore.
- 36:33Speaker 7: They're either making the fertilizer too expensive, etc.
- 36:36Speaker 5: Etc.
- 36:37Speaker 7: Each and every one of these countries comes up with
- 36:40Speaker 7: some bogus excuse to make life unlivable for their farmers.
- 36:45Speaker 5: You've got to ask yourself what the heck is going on.
- 36:49Speaker 7: Surely no one is more important to the flourishing of
- 36:53Speaker 7: any country. But if you control the food, you control
- 36:57Speaker 7: the people like nothing else. And in my having read
- 37:00Speaker 7: some about this legislation, I feel like Kiirs Starmer's gone
- 37:04Speaker 7: full stalin. I mean, it is just absolutely unthinkable and
- 37:09Speaker 7: sadly in this country we don't treat our Aussie farmers
- 37:12Speaker 7: any better. If you know some, you know that I'm
- 37:15Speaker 7: telling the gospel truth. It is utterly shameful, and I
- 37:19Speaker 7: genuinely think there is something far more nefarious behind it.
- 37:23Speaker 7: People snaffling up farmland after making farmers just go, I
- 37:27Speaker 7: can't do this anymore. You've literally made it impossible to me.
- 37:31Speaker 7: It seems very nefarious.
- 37:32Speaker 2: Indeed, we're going to go to a break.
- 37:34Speaker 3: When we come back, we'll look at what's making news tomorrow,
- 37:37Speaker 3: including suggestions that Indigenous people should co design Brisbane's twenty
- 37:41Speaker 3: thirty two Olympic facilities.
- 37:43Speaker 2: That's coming up in tomorrow. Welcome back.
- 37:48Speaker 3: Let's check out what's making news in tomorrow's papers Lives.
- 37:50Speaker 3: You've got the Career Mail and the Brisbane Games are
- 37:54Speaker 3: still quite a number of years away, but it's just
- 37:56Speaker 3: looking like a mess.
- 38:00Speaker 7: Center of games plan, the splash reads, the First Nation's
- 38:04Speaker 7: Cultural Center, museum and permanent evening overwater drone shows telling
- 38:09Speaker 7: dream time stories have been proposed as ways Brisbane twenty
- 38:13Speaker 7: thirty two can deliver a legacy for reconciliation. Cameron Costello,
- 38:18Speaker 7: the deputy chair of the twenty thirty two Legacy Committee,
- 38:21Speaker 7: also challenged organizers to lead the world and have every
- 38:24Speaker 7: games venue co designed by First Nations people, to make
- 38:29Speaker 7: Brisbane a city where, like Florence and Paris, you're overwhelmed
- 38:33Speaker 7: by the integration of culture within their architecture. End quote
- 38:39Speaker 7: like Florence in Paris, really, I mean those buildings are
- 38:44Speaker 7: hundreds of years old and they're absolutely stunning. But how
- 38:49Speaker 7: about we just settle, Cameron Costello for any kind of
- 38:53Speaker 7: comprehensive games at all. We're building a new stadium. We're
- 38:58Speaker 7: not building a new stadium or just kinda give us
- 39:01Speaker 7: faithlift to these stadiums.
- 39:03Speaker 5: No where not we've changed.
- 39:05Speaker 7: Do we even have a comprehensive plan in place yet Brisbane?
- 39:09Speaker 7: Before we start worrying about the trimmings.
- 39:12Speaker 3: Serious, is he serious that the Olympic stadium, which as
- 39:15Speaker 3: you rightly pointed out, we don't even have one yet,
- 39:17Speaker 3: needs to be co designed by an Indigenous person.
- 39:21Speaker 2: That's absolute madness.
- 39:22Speaker 3: And as for this idea of leaving a legacy for reconciliation,
- 39:26Speaker 3: I just reckon some gold medals would be good. And
- 39:28Speaker 3: an Olympic Games that doesn't embarrass us or you know,
- 39:32Speaker 3: slam Christians at the opening ceremony, that would be pretty good.
- 39:35Speaker 3: Why do we need a legacy for reconciliation?
- 39:37Speaker 2: It's a sporting event.
- 39:39Speaker 4: But what the hell's the Olympics going to do for
- 39:40Speaker 4: reconciliation anyway? I don't think of the billions and billions
- 39:44Speaker 4: of dollars that will be spent on a sporting event
- 39:46Speaker 4: that could have been spent on, I don't know, improving
- 39:49Speaker 4: the lives of people in indigenous communities.
- 39:52Speaker 2: Like seriously, Oh.
- 39:53Speaker 4: We're going to fix the whole thing up through the
- 39:55Speaker 4: Olympic Games and so oh, we'll send in some Indigenous
- 39:58Speaker 4: people to help design the Okay, so that will help
- 40:01Speaker 4: out a small number of Indigenous people who will get
- 40:04Speaker 4: some money by there.
- 40:05Speaker 5: What does it do for.
- 40:06Speaker 4: Anyone else who's going to walk in to to q
- 40:09Speaker 4: sack or wherever it is and go, oh, yes, I
- 40:11Speaker 4: can tell by looking at this place that it must
- 40:13Speaker 4: have been co designed by an indigenous person.
- 40:16Speaker 3: What it doesn't make sense the velodrome has to be
- 40:19Speaker 3: co designed by an indigenous.
- 40:20Speaker 1: Oh that's good, that's the safe.
- 40:22Speaker 4: Genuinely, just give us an Olympic Games like they can't
- 40:26Speaker 4: take their mind up about anything. Actually, there will be
- 40:29Speaker 4: seventeen more reports to come down before they can decide
- 40:33Speaker 4: who they can appoint to be the indigenous co designer.
- 40:36Speaker 4: Let's go to the front of the Australian tomorrow, it
- 40:39Speaker 4: says Charmers. Future Funnel Jim Charmers is overhauling the investment
- 40:44Speaker 4: mandate of the two hundred and thirty billion dollar Future
- 40:47Speaker 4: Fund to drive capital into Labour's agenda on affordable housing,
- 40:51Speaker 4: green energy projects and critical infrastructure, in a major shift
- 40:54Speaker 4: in the role of the Sovereign Wealth Fund established by
- 40:57Speaker 4: the Howard government.
- 40:58Speaker 1: Nearly to decay AIDS AGO.
- 41:01Speaker 4: Now, the point of the Future Fund, as I understand it,
- 41:04Speaker 4: is to deliver the best return for taxpayers as possible.
- 41:09Speaker 1: But now the federal governments are all shivers. What can
- 41:12Speaker 1: we do here? Because we love this.
- 41:14Speaker 4: Surplus that we've had for the last couple of years,
- 41:17Speaker 4: and we desperately want to hang on to the surplus
- 41:19Speaker 4: to say that we did it and the Libs didn't.
- 41:22Speaker 4: So what can we do to fudge the numbers to
- 41:25Speaker 4: actually spend government money without spending government money?
- 41:29Speaker 1: I know, we'll take it out of an investment fund.
- 41:31Speaker 4: That is actually about making sure we've got money in
- 41:34Speaker 4: the bank.
- 41:34Speaker 1: And spend it on our pet projects instead. Brilliant idea.
- 41:37Speaker 3: And for charmers to claim that you can go for
- 41:39Speaker 3: maximum return while investing in all your pet fetishers is
- 41:45Speaker 3: just a fiction. Judah Sloan makes a great point in
- 41:47Speaker 3: her column in The Australian Tomorrow that if these projects
- 41:51Speaker 3: were such good investments, the government would have invested in
- 41:54Speaker 3: them already. I know the fact that they haven't proved
- 41:57Speaker 3: the point. They're not the maximum returns. They're trying to
- 42:00Speaker 3: do both, and of course walking both sides of the
- 42:03Speaker 3: street never works.
- 42:04Speaker 1: Good luck to them, Good luck to them. Another story
- 42:06Speaker 1: on the Ostermoo. This one's quite funny.
- 42:09Speaker 4: Alp Link Law firm sued over pay row. One of
- 42:14Speaker 4: Australia's most prominent workplace compensation law firms, has been accused
- 42:18Speaker 4: of deliberately miscalculating staff leav entitlements, failing to immediately reconcile
- 42:24Speaker 4: the under payments, and sacking the human resources boss who
- 42:28Speaker 4: blew the whistle on the alleged scandal. Slater and Gordon
- 42:32Speaker 4: is the firm that we are shame. I mean, you know,
- 42:37Speaker 4: karma eventually comes to bite you on the bum and
- 42:40Speaker 4: they are allegations.
- 42:41Speaker 1: We should say at this point.
- 42:43Speaker 4: But seriously, how would you like to be the leading
- 42:46Speaker 4: workplace law firm in the country. And then someone goes,
- 42:50Speaker 4: hang on a minute, the HR boss.
- 42:52Speaker 1: No, Liz, hang on a minute. I think you've been
- 42:54Speaker 1: under paying the staff. You're well done, it says.
- 42:57Speaker 7: The firm first announced in July that it had underpaid
- 43:00Speaker 7: about three hundred thousand dollars to more than one hundred
- 43:05Speaker 7: employees after workers who took leave at half pay from
- 43:09Speaker 7: twenty eleven to last year had they leave a cruel
- 43:14Speaker 7: calculated on a pro rata basis.
- 43:16Speaker 5: Rather than a full time basis.
- 43:18Speaker 7: I mean, it's worth a read the whole article. It
- 43:21Speaker 7: is an absolute nightmare. I do hope these guys get
- 43:25Speaker 7: their money.
- 43:26Speaker 5: They are just allegations.
- 43:27Speaker 7: At the moment, we must say, but the whole thing
- 43:30Speaker 7: is quite an entertaining read.
- 43:32Speaker 5: And it's funny how so many of my lawyer.
- 43:36Speaker 7: Friends speak of not being paid properly but similar complaints
- 43:44Speaker 7: which they wouldn't talk about obviously publicly. But I've heard
- 43:48Speaker 7: that law firms are some of the worst when it comes.
- 43:51Speaker 5: To just pink.
- 43:52Speaker 2: Do tell you what, They never missed their clients, that's
- 43:54Speaker 2: for sure.
- 43:54Speaker 1: Llawyers money ask go.
- 43:56Speaker 3: To the front page of the Newcastle Herald. Of course,
- 43:59Speaker 3: there's massive pro tests planned by environmental groups over the weekend,
- 44:03Speaker 3: ramping up. Police laid down law to protestable because they're
- 44:07Speaker 3: combining a protest with a rock concert. Peter Garrett is
- 44:10Speaker 3: one of the people playing. Police say public safety is
- 44:13Speaker 3: their top concern as they roll out a high visibility
- 44:16Speaker 3: response to rising tides Protestable in Newcastle over the next
- 44:21Speaker 3: few days. Now the protest is expected to attract thousands
- 44:26Speaker 3: of people. They're combining a sort of festival atmosphere in
- 44:30Speaker 3: the park. As I said, Peter Garrett from Midnight Oil
- 44:34Speaker 3: will be playing, and then protesters are also going to
- 44:37Speaker 3: take to the water. In previous years they've blocked shipping channels. Well,
- 44:42Speaker 3: a court has ruled that there'll be a restricted area
- 44:45Speaker 3: where they'll be police patrolling. Anyone in that area on
- 44:49Speaker 3: the water will be fined, but police will have a.
- 44:52Speaker 2: High presence there. And this just goes on and on.
- 44:55Speaker 3: Cal We're getting used to these things in Newcastle unfortunately.
- 44:58Speaker 4: I mean, the only reason they're going to do it
- 45:00Speaker 4: is to create disruption and to be a pain in
- 45:02Speaker 4: the ass. Right Knowing that they can't go and will
- 45:05Speaker 4: allegedly can't go and disrupt the ships, we'll just hang
- 45:09Speaker 4: around on the perimeters, which means all the police resources
- 45:12Speaker 4: have to be spent stopping them going from beyond those perimeters.
- 45:15Speaker 4: If they weren't already in the water, I'd say get
- 45:17Speaker 4: the water cannons out. This should just be stopped all together.
- 45:21Speaker 4: It's even if they're not going to go in and
- 45:23Speaker 4: stop the ships coming in. The point they are making
- 45:26Speaker 4: is to use public resources for their own ends.
- 45:30Speaker 1: Just stop it.
- 45:31Speaker 3: Yeah, well, we're going to go to a break. When
- 45:33Speaker 3: we come back, Caleb is going to explain to us
- 45:35Speaker 3: why he didn't give us the tip a rank outside
- 45:37Speaker 3: a winds by a mile and jockeys are suspended. Because
- 45:40Speaker 3: the whole thing is a little bit suss.
- 45:42Speaker 2: It's coming up at a moment. All right, welcome back.
- 45:48Speaker 3: Well, Liz, you've got a story about something you would
- 45:49Speaker 3: never expect to see in a candy store.
- 45:52Speaker 7: Your wooden shoplifting is pretty common in the States. I mean,
- 45:55Speaker 7: thirty eight of the states don't consider shoplifting a felony.
- 46:00Speaker 7: Whatever your shoplift is under a thousand dollars worth of merchandise.
- 46:06Speaker 7: So this particular shoplifter had nothing to worry about when
- 46:11Speaker 7: he wandered into a lolly store in Tennessee and just
- 46:15Speaker 7: stood there, not even trying to hide what he was
- 46:18Speaker 7: up to, in front of everyone taking the merch.
- 46:37Speaker 5: How could you begrudge him any tree.
- 46:40Speaker 2: He's so cute.
- 46:42Speaker 7: I love it.
- 46:42Speaker 5: Nobody's screaming or running around.
- 46:44Speaker 7: They're all just chatting in the background like nothing's happening. Here.
- 46:47Speaker 2: Was quite safe because he was pretty occupied and looked
- 46:49Speaker 2: pretty happy about it.
- 46:50Speaker 4: As you pointed out James earlier, you were saying was
- 46:53Speaker 4: eating gummy bees because I'm happy that you would be cannibalism. Now,
- 46:57Speaker 4: imagine you're having a bit on the first race at
- 46:59Speaker 4: Lingfield in the UK, which is in Surrey. He'd say
- 47:02Speaker 4: two mile race for a princeice jockeys only, and you
- 47:06Speaker 4: happen to be on the twenty eight to one outside
- 47:09Speaker 4: favorite in a five horse race, and this happens.
- 47:14Speaker 16: Two purlongs to go. Terms in Grand Duchess. Olga is
- 47:18Speaker 16: still at the moment holding second position with on the
- 47:21Speaker 16: outside gold Aura and countering in front. Is certain Style
- 47:26Speaker 16: handed a huge advantage by the others and is never
- 47:29Speaker 16: going to be caught or even challenged. So Certain Style
- 47:33Speaker 16: didn't quite make call, took it up after about one
- 47:35Speaker 16: hundred of yards, never saw anything else in the race.
- 47:38Speaker 16: Is a huge battle of a second place, but this
- 47:40Speaker 16: is only for second place, and gold Ura might have
- 47:43Speaker 16: got second to you.
- 47:45Speaker 4: Certain Style there at twenty eight to one, winning by
- 47:48Speaker 4: twenty two lengths. At six furlongs he had six lengths
- 47:51Speaker 4: sorry undred and six lengths, forty lengths. I should say
- 47:55Speaker 4: the princes, the apprentice jockeys were all called in and
- 47:59Speaker 4: given a ten day suspension because they said, oh, we
- 48:02Speaker 4: bagged it up. We didn't really know what we were
- 48:04Speaker 4: doing because we were apprentices. But I mean, honestly, I'd
- 48:07Speaker 4: be checking a few bidding accounts if I were the stewards.
- 48:10Speaker 1: Because that's one hell of a win for it doing.
- 48:14Speaker 2: Don't you just point and go well.
- 48:16Speaker 4: Apparently one of the jockey's actually loaded his horse into
- 48:19Speaker 4: the wrong stall began the race, So it may have
- 48:22Speaker 4: been amateur hour, but that would have been if I'd
- 48:25Speaker 4: known that that was going to happen. I wish I'd
- 48:27Speaker 4: been on it, Like seriously, surely if you're going to
- 48:29Speaker 4: set up.
- 48:30Speaker 5: A steal, you do it in such a way that
- 48:32Speaker 5: would have the meeting.
- 48:34Speaker 3: Yes, well, next time, Caleb, we expect the hot tip
- 48:39Speaker 3: before the race. We could have done very well from that.
- 48:41Speaker 3: That's it from us, thanks to your company. Tonight stick around.
- 48:44Speaker 3: Coming up is the readA Penhingra
