- 0:00Speaker 1: Welcome to the Late Base.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the program. I'm Caleb Bond
- 0:09Speaker 2: with Frei Leach and James Willis. Here's what's coming up tonight.
- 0:13Speaker 2: Is it wrong to keep fish in an aquarium inside
- 0:16Speaker 2: a nightclub? And animal rights activist is taking on a
- 0:19Speaker 2: couple of late night hotspots. We'll have an argument about
- 0:22Speaker 2: that soon in the papers. A betting scandal has broken
- 0:25Speaker 2: out in the NRL. Exclusive details in Tomorrow's Daily Telegraph.
- 0:30Speaker 2: And last night we brought you news of anti aging
- 0:32Speaker 2: drugs for dogs, and tonight we have more from the canines.
- 0:37Speaker 3: God bly with me.
- 0:39Speaker 2: We'll fly, We'll fly.
- 0:44Speaker 4: Where.
- 0:47Speaker 2: Yes, the first Australian plane tickets for dogs have gone
- 0:51Speaker 2: on sale.
- 0:52Speaker 1: More on that later.
- 0:54Speaker 2: But first, when is your money your money? Apparently not
- 0:58Speaker 2: when it belongs to the Commonwealth Bank, or so one
- 1:01Speaker 2: woman has found out because she went down to a
- 1:04Speaker 2: bank brunch. She was lucky to be able to find one,
- 1:07Speaker 2: but anyway she managed to do it.
- 1:08Speaker 1: Went down to the Bank.
- 1:09Speaker 2: Bruanch and said, excuse me, I'd like to take out
- 1:11Speaker 2: twenty thousand dollars for some renovations going on at my home.
- 1:15Speaker 1: I'd like to pay the.
- 1:16Speaker 2: Trades in cash, and so I would like to collect
- 1:19Speaker 2: my money in cash, and the bank said to her, no,
- 1:22Speaker 2: you need to give us proof of the fact that
- 1:25Speaker 2: you're going to spend this money on the trades.
- 1:28Speaker 5: Here she is.
- 1:29Speaker 6: She basically said, you have to give us a proof
- 1:32Speaker 6: or a reason. I've given you a reason. I'm building
- 1:34Speaker 6: and I like to pay my trades in cash. And
- 1:36Speaker 6: she goes, yeah, that's not good enough. We need proof.
- 1:38Speaker 6: If I just want to withdraw ten thousand dollars to
- 1:40Speaker 6: go to the casino tomorrow night and just have a
- 1:43Speaker 6: great night, go to a find only restaurant, buy myself Lubertin's,
- 1:46Speaker 6: and a Chanel Bank, and you know, I spend all
- 1:49Speaker 6: my money, gamble it away.
- 1:50Speaker 2: You know again, it's my money.
- 1:51Speaker 7: I can do whatever I want.
- 1:52Speaker 6: And then she looks at that lady next to her
- 1:54Speaker 6: at the teller, and then that lady, you know, she
- 1:57Speaker 6: steps in and she goes, we wouldn't be able to
- 1:59Speaker 6: give ten thousand dollars if you were going to the casino.
- 2:03Speaker 2: I mean's her money. Why can't she just get her
- 2:06Speaker 2: hands on it? I understand the tell them I'd ask
- 2:09Speaker 2: some questions to make sure that she's not being scammed.
- 2:12Speaker 2: But you know, at least she says, yes, I'm taking
- 2:15Speaker 2: out twenty thousand dollars to go and buy Apple gift
- 2:17Speaker 2: cards so I can send it to some guy in India.
- 2:20Speaker 2: What business is it of the bank to be telling
- 2:22Speaker 2: her that she must come in with written proof of
- 2:25Speaker 2: what she is going to spend her own money on.
- 2:29Speaker 2: And by the way, that point she makes as well
- 2:31Speaker 2: about spending ten grand at the casino. What job is
- 2:34Speaker 2: it of the bank to say that you can't go
- 2:36Speaker 2: and spend ten grand at the casino. It's my money, James,
- 2:40Speaker 2: I should be able to do it.
- 2:40Speaker 3: I want with it well, and the thing is, And
- 2:42Speaker 3: by the way, it's not just the CBA. When when
- 2:44Speaker 3: banks make a decision, they all follow. The big banks
- 2:47Speaker 3: work in a pack on these things. And to be honest,
- 2:50Speaker 3: I don't think the government minds because I think the
- 2:51Speaker 3: government is of the view and I'm not saying this
- 2:54Speaker 3: for trade's watching or anything else, but the government is
- 2:56Speaker 3: of the view that the tax economy is linked to people, sorry,
- 3:00Speaker 3: the cash economy is linked to people not paying enough tax.
- 3:04Speaker 3: And so they've allowed the banks to shut branches, to
- 3:06Speaker 3: close ATMs. To miracle this lady could find a branch
- 3:10Speaker 3: the way from it going at the moment. But I'm
- 3:12Speaker 3: still of the view that if it's your money, and
- 3:14Speaker 3: the main reason they do this as well, the bank
- 3:16Speaker 3: says to prevent fraud, But if it's you with your ID,
- 3:19Speaker 3: you should be able to pull out every last cent
- 3:22Speaker 3: if you want to put it in your mattress, buryed
- 3:24Speaker 3: in your backyard. So be it's your money, you want
- 3:26Speaker 3: to pull it out, put in another bank, just go
- 3:28Speaker 3: for it. The fact that there's such strict limits and
- 3:31Speaker 3: they ask you what you're going to spend your own
- 3:33Speaker 3: money on, I think is a real problem. But it
- 3:35Speaker 3: shows that ultimately you don't really own your money when
- 3:38Speaker 3: it's in the bank.
- 3:38Speaker 8: Well, you can pull out up to four thousand dollars,
- 3:41Speaker 8: I believe, so you can get two grand out of
- 3:43Speaker 8: the ATM and two grand from Mattella. You can do
- 3:46Speaker 8: that every single day, getting four grand out in cash
- 3:50Speaker 8: every day. That's not that bad, I think when when
- 3:53Speaker 8: you see people trying to get twenty thousand dollars at
- 3:55Speaker 8: like whin do you need that much cashing tree in cash?
- 4:01Speaker 8: What kind of tax are you trying to avoid paying?
- 4:04Speaker 1: You're trying to do a favor for the trading.
- 4:06Speaker 7: No, but that is not fair.
- 4:08Speaker 8: We all have to pay our fair share of tax,
- 4:10Speaker 8: so that makes.
- 4:11Speaker 2: It fair for you to not be able to get
- 4:13Speaker 2: your hands one.
- 4:14Speaker 8: We lose sixteen billion dollars in tax revenue as a
- 4:18Speaker 8: country every single year because of the shadow cash economy.
- 4:22Speaker 8: Now I'm not anti cash by any means, but i
- 4:25Speaker 8: do think that we should all be paying our fair
- 4:28Speaker 8: share of tax, and.
- 4:29Speaker 2: So in order to make that happen, we should have
- 4:31Speaker 2: restrictions on access to our own money.
- 4:32Speaker 8: Well, you can still access it, they just want in
- 4:36Speaker 8: four thousand dollars increase.
- 4:38Speaker 2: But why should that that? Why should there be any
- 4:40Speaker 2: limit whatsoever? It is my money. I, as a customer
- 4:44Speaker 2: at a bank, pay for a service which is for
- 4:47Speaker 2: them to look after that money while it's in my account.
- 4:49Speaker 2: But why does that give them the right to think
- 4:51Speaker 2: so you can only have four grand of it every day?
- 4:53Speaker 7: Caleb?
- 4:54Speaker 8: The whole banking system operates on the premise the banks
- 4:58Speaker 8: don't actually have your money. Money looks like it's sitting
- 5:01Speaker 8: in your account, but the banks are actually lending it out.
- 5:04Speaker 7: To other people.
- 5:04Speaker 8: Sure, they're investing it like they don't have your money
- 5:07Speaker 8: there They don't have unlimited cash for people to withdraw
- 5:11Speaker 8: sitting there, So this makes sense.
- 5:13Speaker 3: Do you think Australia I feel like in other countries
- 5:15Speaker 3: that I've visited, I think Australia is really an island
- 5:17Speaker 3: on this kind of stuff. I think in other parts
- 5:19Speaker 3: of the world cash is still key. There's places where
- 5:22Speaker 3: you can't pay with a card, often in bars and restaurants.
- 5:26Speaker 3: You know, you've got to tip people as well. Till
- 5:28Speaker 3: about five minutes the cash economy in the US, up
- 5:31Speaker 3: til about five minutes ago, they were still paying for
- 5:33Speaker 3: everything with checks.
- 5:34Speaker 1: You go to the shop and write at a check.
- 5:36Speaker 1: I think you're right.
- 5:37Speaker 2: But if this is the standard that you can't access
- 5:40Speaker 2: your own money, I don't know. Look beyond the advantage
- 5:44Speaker 2: of being able to get some interest, maybe I don't
- 5:46Speaker 2: know why you'd bother having your money in the bank.
- 5:48Speaker 2: You may as well have it under the mattress where
- 5:50Speaker 2: it's safe from anyone else who wants to dictate what
- 5:53Speaker 2: you do with.
- 5:53Speaker 3: Four thousand dollars doesn't get your bathroom floor these days
- 5:56Speaker 3: with tradinges, I mean, couldn't be a little bit higher.
- 5:58Speaker 3: Go on for if the training wants cash, you've got
- 6:02Speaker 3: to pay cash right, paying them in cash because it's
- 6:05Speaker 3: good on them, it's free. It's it's a market tender.
- 6:07Speaker 2: You know what, as carry pack aren'try correct, Kerry packer
- 6:11Speaker 2: won't said any person who's paying a scent more tax
- 6:13Speaker 2: that they need to needs their head rid and if.
- 6:16Speaker 1: You can find a way to get around it. I
- 6:18Speaker 1: don't have a problem with it. No, I don't have
- 6:20Speaker 1: a problem.
- 6:20Speaker 8: I don't think he was encouraging tax evasion when he
- 6:23Speaker 8: said that. He was still saying pay a fash shat.
- 6:26Speaker 8: I trainees in twenty grand cash. They can't pay tax.
- 6:29Speaker 8: That's very different. That's not paying a fashat. I'm happy illegal.
- 6:33Speaker 3: I'm a lot of traders that have been watching. We
- 6:35Speaker 3: should say they do pay their tax and the very
- 6:37Speaker 3: workers and they get up very early. Yes, we love
- 6:39Speaker 3: our trading audience watching it high.
- 6:41Speaker 2: But you know if they save a couple of bucks
- 6:43Speaker 2: on the way, no skin I have to say, Hey,
- 6:46Speaker 2: let's talk about those scenes we just saw through the
- 6:48Speaker 2: last hour. Paul Murray, of course, was showing out of
- 6:51Speaker 2: the UK, Donald Trump, the prison of the United States
- 6:55Speaker 2: and the first Lady Millennia have gone over for their
- 6:58Speaker 2: second state via of course, seeing King Charles and Queen Camilla,
- 7:03Speaker 2: and of course they're the Prince and Princess of Wales
- 7:05Speaker 2: as well. They've gone to Windsor Castle because Buckingham Palace,
- 7:08Speaker 2: which is where they went last time, is currently being renovated.
- 7:11Speaker 2: I wonder whether they're playing paying their tradees in twenty
- 7:14Speaker 2: grand installments that they're taking out of the bankage day
- 7:17Speaker 2: to avoid the tax. But anyway, they're over there having
- 7:20Speaker 2: a gay old time. And Trump, as we know, loves
- 7:24Speaker 2: the pomp and ceremony and all this stuff, so he
- 7:28Speaker 2: would be loving himself sick what I couldn't get over though,
- 7:31Speaker 2: And this is just getting away from the vision that
- 7:33Speaker 2: we've seen, like this is a genuine news event, and
- 7:37Speaker 2: most news channels were running that coverage as we were.
- 7:41Speaker 2: Of course we had it. Sky News UK, our sister
- 7:44Speaker 2: channel over there was running it. GB News had it,
- 7:47Speaker 2: Fox News in the US had it. But ABC here
- 7:51Speaker 2: they've got a news channel twenty four, our news channel.
- 7:54Speaker 2: They just had a little box in the corner with
- 7:57Speaker 2: a bit of footage running in the background. CNN, until
- 8:00Speaker 2: about ten minutes before we went to air, had not shown.
- 8:04Speaker 1: A single frame of this.
- 8:06Speaker 2: This is a news channel in the United States had
- 8:09Speaker 2: not shown a single frame of their president going to
- 8:13Speaker 2: meet the Royal family, like this is a big news event.
- 8:17Speaker 2: MASNBC just had a little box in the corner. I mean,
- 8:20Speaker 2: you couldn't nail your colors to the mast any more clearly.
- 8:24Speaker 1: Could you?
- 8:24Speaker 2: That we're basically just going to ignore the fact that
- 8:28Speaker 2: for the first time in history, the American president is
- 8:32Speaker 2: getting a second state visit with the Royal family.
- 8:34Speaker 8: Yeah, it's because the left wing media in the US
- 8:37Speaker 8: cannot give Trump any wins. They will not acknowledge anything
- 8:42Speaker 8: impressive that he has achieved. This is objectively, this is
- 8:46Speaker 8: a world first for US president to receive a full
- 8:49Speaker 8: second state visit. They are not sparing any expense, pulling
- 8:53Speaker 8: out all the bells and whistles. I mean, thousands of
- 8:56Speaker 8: people were involved in that military parade. This has been
- 8:59Speaker 8: planned for months and ultimately this is because the UK
- 9:03Speaker 8: realizes they actually do need to suck up to Trump
- 9:06Speaker 8: if they want to get good outcomes on trade, on defense,
- 9:10Speaker 8: and strengthening their relationship. It's a lesson I think our
- 9:13Speaker 8: government could learn. But yeah, the US media, they don't
- 9:16Speaker 8: want to give Trump any wins. This is objectively a win.
- 9:19Speaker 8: This shows that the international community is not treating Trump
- 9:24Speaker 8: like a pariah, which is what the left wing media wants.
- 9:27Speaker 8: They're sucking up because they have to.
- 9:29Speaker 3: Well, and given what we saw from one of the
- 9:31Speaker 3: ABC journalists today and his questioning of Donald Trump, and
- 9:35Speaker 3: given what you remember when the King's coronation occurred, the
- 9:39Speaker 3: coverage and the fact that they were almost apologizing for
- 9:42Speaker 3: having to show this coverage, and the amount of complaints.
- 9:45Speaker 3: I mean, they've got hundreds, if not thousands of complaints
- 9:48Speaker 3: for the way they covered this and made it all
- 9:49Speaker 3: about First Nations people instead of just being allowed to
- 9:53Speaker 3: sort of overwhelmingly celebrate what was going on. It's to
- 9:56Speaker 3: their loss because they are amazing photos. It's a great
- 9:59Speaker 3: escape from some of the troubles of the world. But
- 10:01Speaker 3: the wider issue and Freyer, I agree with you. This
- 10:04Speaker 3: is a great example of where the UK and the
- 10:06Speaker 3: US feel they sit in their relationship with each other. Meanwhile,
- 10:11Speaker 3: we don't know who we're friends with. One moment, we're
- 10:13Speaker 3: in the Pacific trying to catch up with China. The
- 10:15Speaker 3: next minute we're trying to suck up to China and
- 10:17Speaker 3: say everything is good there. Starmer has met with Trump
- 10:21Speaker 3: twice already. This will be the third meeting. We're apparently
- 10:24Speaker 3: now only getting our first meeting. But our relationship with
- 10:27Speaker 3: the US has really gone backwards under the Albanezi government.
- 10:32Speaker 3: And you see these two countries today showing why it's
- 10:34Speaker 3: so important.
- 10:35Speaker 2: And you'll have that meeting with Starma. I mean, he's
- 10:39Speaker 2: basically hoping that this will steady the ship for in
- 10:42Speaker 2: front of for a little while with all the leadership troubles,
- 10:45Speaker 2: he's potentially facing himself. And I think what this proves
- 10:50Speaker 2: is what Donald Trump has done to put the US
- 10:53Speaker 2: back on the map as a world force. Because you
- 10:56Speaker 2: could argue, particularly under Biden, but you know, in the
- 11:00Speaker 2: last fifteen years, as the US has sort of slowly
- 11:04Speaker 2: pulled out of wars and had unsuccessful wars through the
- 11:09Speaker 2: Middle East, the influence of the United States facing a
- 11:13Speaker 2: rising China as well has been diminished somewhat. But Donald
- 11:18Speaker 2: Trump has really put the US back on the map.
- 11:21Speaker 2: I said, we are here to take the fight up
- 11:24Speaker 2: to China and to be the natural ally for people
- 11:28Speaker 2: in the West, countries in the West to go to,
- 11:30Speaker 2: to deal with, to do business with, to make friends with,
- 11:33Speaker 2: because he can see that if he doesn't do it.
- 11:36Speaker 1: It is China that will move in.
- 11:38Speaker 2: And this is proof of just how well Trump has
- 11:41Speaker 2: done that and managed to get people to come and
- 11:44Speaker 2: kiss the ring and say, actually, the US does still have.
- 11:46Speaker 3: A role to play.
- 11:47Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly.
- 11:47Speaker 8: And it's the shift away from this sort of liberal
- 11:51Speaker 8: international order back to a realism that says, actually, really
- 11:55Speaker 8: the two countries that matter most in the world are
- 11:58Speaker 8: the US and China. That is the great competition lies.
- 12:01Speaker 8: Pick aside, pin your flags to the mast, and there
- 12:06Speaker 8: is going to be conflict. There's going to be competition,
- 12:09Speaker 8: and everyone has to pick aside, and you better be
- 12:11Speaker 8: on the US side otherwise you're in for a lot
- 12:13Speaker 8: of pain.
- 12:14Speaker 7: But I think for.
- 12:14Speaker 8: Sarma as well, I mean, he's going to be hoping
- 12:17Speaker 8: that this is what saves his prime ministership. Obviously he's
- 12:20Speaker 8: had he's sacked the British ambassador to the US, the
- 12:24Speaker 8: deputy prime minister's been forced to resign, his head of
- 12:27Speaker 8: strategy has resigned. They've lost a third of their labor
- 12:30Speaker 8: voters since they got elected fourteen months ago. So his
- 12:34Speaker 8: prime ministership is hanging on by a thread. Now he's
- 12:38Speaker 8: going to hope that projecting this strong relationship with the
- 12:40Speaker 8: US might be the thing that keeps him in power.
- 12:44Speaker 8: But I mean, when your alternative is Nigel Farage, whose
- 12:48Speaker 8: best is with Trump, I don't think this is going
- 12:50Speaker 8: to do it for him.
- 12:51Speaker 3: And by the way, I think is that the weeks
- 12:53Speaker 3: go on and there was the initial reaction to the
- 12:55Speaker 3: tariffs from Trump and how significant that was. But there's
- 12:59Speaker 3: one thing that's going to hell and encourage and incentivize
- 13:02Speaker 3: local business to kickstart manufacturing, which, by the way, we
- 13:05Speaker 3: need here much more than the United States needs, and
- 13:08Speaker 3: that's to make it harder to import things from overseas
- 13:11Speaker 3: just for final or have jobs offshore. So look, as
- 13:14Speaker 3: time goes on, that will be Trump's legacy and it
- 13:17Speaker 3: will pay dividends for the US in my view.
- 13:19Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly.
- 13:20Speaker 8: Well, let's move on to the US now, where the
- 13:23Speaker 8: accused assassin of Charlie Kirk, Tyler Robinson, appeared in court
- 13:28Speaker 8: in Utah for the first time. And also we received
- 13:31Speaker 8: a trove of text messages between Tyler Robinson and his
- 13:37Speaker 8: lover roommate was a transgender person, a man transitioning to
- 13:43Speaker 8: become a woman. Now, what was interesting about these messages
- 13:48Speaker 8: They were communicating right after he allegedly shot Charlie Kirk.
- 13:54Speaker 8: The coverage of these messages from some left wing media
- 13:58Speaker 8: outlets is honest, mind blowing. This was a lefty at
- 14:03Speaker 8: the ABC in the US gushing of how intimate and
- 14:08Speaker 8: loving the text messages between Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin and
- 14:14Speaker 8: his roommate were.
- 14:18Speaker 9: So what do I think about Charlie Kirk and obviously
- 14:22Speaker 9: his assassination. I think he was a pretty awful person
- 14:27Speaker 9: and he doesn't deserve all the recognition he's getting. It
- 14:30Speaker 9: would have been best to not have him assassinated and
- 14:34Speaker 9: for him to remain a footnote in the Trumpian era
- 14:38Speaker 9: of the United States. Charlie Kirk got shot, and he's
- 14:44Speaker 9: RIP whatever you want RIP to stand for.
- 14:49Speaker 8: So that was not Tyler Robinson's trans roommate. That was,
- 14:53Speaker 8: in fact, Senator Fatima Payman from Australia essentially saying that
- 14:58Speaker 8: she was, you know, Charlie Kirk was a horrible person,
- 15:02Speaker 8: which objectively is untrue. She obviously provides no evidence to
- 15:05Speaker 8: substantiate that claim, and then says RIP interpret the p
- 15:10Speaker 8: to mean what you want. I can't help but think
- 15:12Speaker 8: that is a reference to Bob Villan who said rest
- 15:16Speaker 8: in piss instead of rest in peace. Now her family
- 15:21Speaker 8: fled Afghanistan because of the Taliban. Now she's coming here
- 15:26Speaker 8: to it Australia. She's an elected member of our parliament
- 15:30Speaker 8: and she's making a mockery of someone who was assassinated
- 15:35Speaker 8: for exercising their right to freedom of speech.
- 15:38Speaker 7: That is just so wrong.
- 15:39Speaker 2: And also potentially a dual citizen by the way, which
- 15:43Speaker 2: that question has never been answered, because as you would
- 15:46Speaker 2: well remember a few years ago, we had all these
- 15:48Speaker 2: people to that were dual citizens and had to go
- 15:50Speaker 2: to by elections at sea because constitutionally that's not allowed.
- 15:54Speaker 2: And she says that she's written to Afghanistan and asked
- 15:57Speaker 2: them to received to her citizenship over there, but we
- 15:59Speaker 2: don't actually know whether they've done it or not, so
- 16:01Speaker 2: technically she may well be Illegally she is still so,
- 16:06Speaker 2: and no one's doing anything about it.
- 16:07Speaker 3: So there you go.
- 16:08Speaker 2: She probably shouldn't be in the job in the first place.
- 16:11Speaker 2: But I think this just to squalifies her even more.
- 16:13Speaker 3: Yeah, this is someone I'm sure I'm right in saying
- 16:15Speaker 3: one because of the Labor Party and then left the
- 16:18Speaker 3: Labor Party after you know, the election is now standing
- 16:21Speaker 3: because of their views and not, you know, being two
- 16:24Speaker 3: in favor of Palestine. I mean, you can just you
- 16:26Speaker 3: could just imagine if someone someone made a comment about that,
- 16:31Speaker 3: regarding someone in her stratosphere, they'd be called, you know,
- 16:34Speaker 3: islam as islamophobic and everything else. It's just horrible. And again,
- 16:39Speaker 3: why are we seeing so many examples of prominent people
- 16:41Speaker 3: mocking and joking about someone that's died.
- 16:44Speaker 2: Well, I'm kind of glad they've done it, because at
- 16:46Speaker 2: least we know now they're marked. We know who these
- 16:50Speaker 2: people are. We've seen who they really are. Believe it
- 16:52Speaker 2: when they tell you who they are. We've got that
- 16:55Speaker 2: to grab back from ABC News in the United States.
- 16:58Speaker 2: The reporter is Mattman. This is him describing the text
- 17:03Speaker 2: messages sent by the alleged shooter, Tyler Robinson to his lover,
- 17:06Speaker 2: his roommate transgender.
- 17:08Speaker 5: Here it is.
- 17:10Speaker 10: It was very touching in a way that I think
- 17:11Speaker 10: many of us didn't expect, a very intimate tortuit into
- 17:14Speaker 10: this relationship between the suspect's roommate and the suspect himself,
- 17:20Speaker 10: with him repeatedly calling his roommate who was transitioning, calling
- 17:25Speaker 10: him my love and I want to protect you.
- 17:26Speaker 2: My lover, they strike me, pink, Could you do any
- 17:31Speaker 2: more to try and humanize the guy?
- 17:34Speaker 1: And yes, it's alleged. You know that the law assumes
- 17:36Speaker 1: that he's.
- 17:37Speaker 2: Innocent, But you don't go on with text messages that
- 17:42Speaker 2: basically damn the guy before the cases even stagger. Oh,
- 17:46Speaker 2: it was just a touching, touching moment between him and
- 17:50Speaker 2: his lover.
- 17:50Speaker 1: The guys accused of murdering someone, and.
- 17:53Speaker 8: The only reason he was sending those text messages, well
- 17:57Speaker 8: partly was to make it clear. I guess that the
- 18:00Speaker 8: roommate was not involved in the assassination. He doesn't care
- 18:03Speaker 8: about the well being of his trans lover. He cares
- 18:07Speaker 8: about keeping him out of jail because they would be going.
- 18:10Speaker 8: Did you know about the assassination before it happened, So
- 18:13Speaker 8: we can't have sympathy for a cold blooded, psychotic alleged assassin.
- 18:20Speaker 3: Yeah, and it is all alleged, But when I read
- 18:22Speaker 3: these texts, it seems this is someone that wasn't showing
- 18:26Speaker 3: a lot of remorse. The only remorse was whether or
- 18:28Speaker 3: not he could get the family gun back from the
- 18:30Speaker 3: hiding spot, because it was Grandpa's gun and he wanted
- 18:33Speaker 3: to make sure and then suddenly it was too late.
- 18:36Speaker 3: I don't know what text that ABC reporter was referring to,
- 18:39Speaker 3: must be a different version of texts that I've seen,
- 18:41Speaker 3: because there was nothing nice about it, and all he
- 18:45Speaker 3: cared about was getting the gun back.
- 18:46Speaker 2: Just just extraordinary the links these people will go to
- 18:50Speaker 2: either justify in some cases, as we've shown you plenty
- 18:54Speaker 2: of time, celebrate the murder of someone in cold blood.
- 18:58Speaker 1: It is just shocking.
- 18:59Speaker 2: Let's go down to Adelaide, of course, my hometown, where
- 19:01Speaker 2: a couple of nightclubs are in trouble because apparently they've
- 19:04Speaker 2: been cruel to fish. This was a report on Channel
- 19:08Speaker 2: seven last night where animal activist Tyler Clear says that
- 19:12Speaker 2: a number of nightclubs have installed aquariums and well they
- 19:16Speaker 2: need to be dealt.
- 19:16Speaker 11: With blights that are going off all through the night,
- 19:22Speaker 11: mess with the fisher's circadian rhythm.
- 19:25Speaker 8: Tyler Claire wants the fish rehomed, insisting they don't belong
- 19:29Speaker 8: in a nightclub surrounded by blaring music, flashing lights, and
- 19:34Speaker 8: drunken crowns.
- 19:35Speaker 11: All of the fish were gapings, had their mouths wide
- 19:38Speaker 11: open for the entire time I was there, which is
- 19:40Speaker 11: a clear sign of stress.
- 19:42Speaker 2: So the two nightclubs in question here are the Atlantis
- 19:46Speaker 2: Bar and mister kims Will, the owner of Atlantis Bar,
- 19:50Speaker 2: says he's done everything possible to make sure there is
- 19:52Speaker 2: no cruel.
- 19:54Speaker 12: We got fifty mil thick acrylic glass, we got twenty
- 19:58Speaker 12: five thousand liters of water. The fish can't hear nothing.
- 20:01Speaker 3: He says.
- 20:02Speaker 8: Two marine biologists signed off on the aquarium.
- 20:05Speaker 12: When he built the tank, they had people in there
- 20:09Speaker 12: trying to listen with the music blurring, and they had
- 20:12Speaker 12: dB readers.
- 20:14Speaker 2: I mean, if he's got the marine biologists in there
- 20:16Speaker 2: to look at it and they say it's fine, what's
- 20:17Speaker 2: the problem. Some people, I think are just opposed to fun.
- 20:23Speaker 2: If he wants to have an aquarium in his bar, why.
- 20:26Speaker 1: Can't he have an aquarium in his bar?
- 20:27Speaker 3: Yeah, but you heard the activists. The fish were gaping.
- 20:30Speaker 3: Their mouths were open from like something at lunar parts
- 20:34Speaker 3: from right to left, and therefore they were in paint.
- 20:37Speaker 3: The fish might have been eating, by the way, that
- 20:38Speaker 3: might have been the reason the mouths were open. But look,
- 20:42Speaker 3: the other thing that people forget with all this is
- 20:44Speaker 3: that a lot of fish in this case would surely
- 20:47Speaker 3: be bred to be in tanks right, Like, they're an
- 20:50Speaker 3: aquarium industry. So if you shut the industry down, there's
- 20:54Speaker 3: unfortunately going to be a lot of animals that die.
- 20:57Speaker 3: If you don't like it, don't go mind you. There
- 20:59Speaker 3: are enough animals in nightclubs as it is.
- 21:02Speaker 1: That is a very good that is that is a
- 21:04Speaker 1: very good point.
- 21:05Speaker 3: It doesn't grab me though you're really going to go
- 21:07Speaker 3: to an adu, you wouldn't.
- 21:09Speaker 1: We'll let to see the animals doing the grabbing in
- 21:11Speaker 1: the nightclubs.
- 21:12Speaker 2: But and the other thing is I mean, if we're
- 21:15Speaker 2: going to start saying, oh, it's too noisy for the
- 21:16Speaker 2: fish in the nightclubs, I mean what about people go
- 21:19Speaker 2: with this speedboat to go and do some fishing.
- 21:21Speaker 7: Oh no, you've got to turn your engine.
- 21:23Speaker 2: Off because the fish in the sea are annoyed by
- 21:26Speaker 2: Get over.
- 21:27Speaker 7: But that's where this goes. Now.
- 21:29Speaker 8: Actually, he the owner of the nightclub, made a good
- 21:31Speaker 8: point that they did decibel test this. They've got thick
- 21:34Speaker 8: glass and then you got all the water. And notice
- 21:37Speaker 8: the activists didn't actually complain about the noise. What she
- 21:40Speaker 8: complained about was the lights because of their circadian rhythm. Well,
- 21:44Speaker 8: if it's a nightclub and it's empty during the day,
- 21:46Speaker 8: wouldn't it be dark during the day, and then they
- 21:48Speaker 8: can have the lights at night, So why don't they
- 21:51Speaker 8: just adapt to a new nightclub friendly time zone?
- 21:54Speaker 7: You know.
- 21:55Speaker 3: I also feel like Australia has made such length, such
- 21:58Speaker 3: growth in animal rights, and I think we've actually been fantastic.
- 22:03Speaker 3: And yet you have people that go to the races
- 22:05Speaker 3: every Saturday and out the front covered in blood, people
- 22:09Speaker 3: that don't want you to eat meat, people that are
- 22:11Speaker 3: saying we shouldn't have zoos, we shouldn't have circuses, And
- 22:14Speaker 3: it just gets to a point where they don't want
- 22:15Speaker 3: you to have too much fun.
- 22:16Speaker 2: So that's the point I think they are just like
- 22:19Speaker 2: they have an issue with fun. I mean, has anyone
- 22:22Speaker 2: asked the fish they love living in a nutclub? I mean,
- 22:25Speaker 2: it would be a pretty fun place to live.
- 22:27Speaker 3: Now. I'm not sure this is meant to be the
- 22:30Speaker 3: consequence of net zero, but there is a story that's
- 22:33Speaker 3: going in the Daily Telegraph tomorrow regards to solar pans. Now,
- 22:36Speaker 3: the agreeent energy industry says over and over again, Australians
- 22:40Speaker 3: love solar. Four million people have solar panels on their roof. Well,
- 22:44Speaker 3: it turns out that despite promising to do something about
- 22:47Speaker 3: this several years ago, the state and federal government have
- 22:50Speaker 3: not engaged in a recycling program, a mandatory recycling program.
- 22:56Speaker 3: So sixty thousand tons of solar panels ending up in
- 23:00Speaker 3: the tip every year, just like this. This is from
- 23:03Speaker 3: Regional New South Wales, a photo that was sent in
- 23:05Speaker 3: to us. They're being resold for five dollars. People are
- 23:09Speaker 3: getting new panels. There's really good incentives, taxpayer funded incentives
- 23:12Speaker 3: in this space. And the government saying, oh, sixty thousand
- 23:15Speaker 3: tons of panels a year are being thrown out and
- 23:18Speaker 3: they can be recycled, but at the moment they're just
- 23:21Speaker 3: ending up in the tip. I mean, is this really
- 23:23Speaker 3: what net zero is meant to be all about? I
- 23:24Speaker 3: love it.
- 23:25Speaker 2: I think this is brilliant. Not because it's all ending
- 23:28Speaker 2: up in landfill is probably not great, but it just
- 23:30Speaker 2: proves what a scam this whole thing is. It is
- 23:33Speaker 2: not actually about saving the environment. It's about lining the
- 23:37Speaker 2: pockets of people who sell the dream of saving the environment.
- 23:42Speaker 2: You know, if it was really about saving the environment,
- 23:44Speaker 2: you wouldn't see these kinds of things. If it was
- 23:47Speaker 2: really about saving the environment, we wouldn't see all these
- 23:50Speaker 2: wind turbines that get decommissioned and then just sort of
- 23:53Speaker 2: dumped out the back of burke somewhere and in the
- 23:55Speaker 2: hope that no one will notice.
- 23:56Speaker 1: That they're there.
- 23:57Speaker 2: All the heavy metals that go into making these things.
- 24:00Speaker 2: Is that we think are who cares, We'll just dump
- 24:02Speaker 2: it and see how we go. We're lining the pockets
- 24:05Speaker 2: of China on the way. I'm increasingly of the view
- 24:09Speaker 2: that this whole renewable energy thing, apart from the fact
- 24:12Speaker 2: that there is some legitimacy in it, but the way
- 24:17Speaker 2: it has been pushed upon us is just a great
- 24:20Speaker 2: scheme to redistribute wealth from poor people into the hands
- 24:24Speaker 2: of rich people, particularly people in China, who are taking
- 24:27Speaker 2: us for a ride. And then we have to pay
- 24:30Speaker 2: the price for it, not only in dollars.
- 24:32Speaker 1: But in having to clean up the mess afterwards too.
- 24:35Speaker 8: And look, sixty thousand tons of solar panels ending up
- 24:38Speaker 8: in landfill.
- 24:39Speaker 7: That is actually huge.
- 24:40Speaker 8: To put that into perspective, the average household produces zero
- 24:44Speaker 8: point five tons of waste per year, So that's one
- 24:47Speaker 8: hundred and twenty thousand households worth of waste just in
- 24:52Speaker 8: solar panels every year, and by twenty thirty that's going
- 24:56Speaker 8: to be ninety thousand tons, So that is that's almost
- 24:59Speaker 8: two hundred households of waste just from solar panels. So yeah,
- 25:03Speaker 8: it's not green, it's not doing anything for Australia. We
- 25:08Speaker 8: cannot solve climate change on our own. And the majority,
- 25:12Speaker 8: the vast majority of these solar panels do come from China,
- 25:16Speaker 8: So we're shoveling money out the door to China. Now, meanwhile,
- 25:19Speaker 8: there's another interesting story on that China. Note do you
- 25:22Speaker 8: drive a Chinese EV because if you do, you may
- 25:27Speaker 8: want to think twice about your security. A top security
- 25:31Speaker 8: advisor he worked for Malcolm Turnbull, his name is Alistair McGibbon,
- 25:35Speaker 8: has warned that Chinese evs may be used for surveillance,
- 25:40Speaker 8: they could be used to kill people and potentially even explode.
- 25:45Speaker 7: Here's what he had to say.
- 25:48Speaker 5: The vehicles are updated all the time, the telemetry goes
- 25:50Speaker 5: back to the manufacturer. That manufacturer can be directed to
- 25:54Speaker 5: turn off those safety features. So yes, in extreme is
- 25:57Speaker 5: it conceivably possible this could occur? What about household batteries
- 26:02Speaker 5: ninety plus percent of which are manufactured and therefore controlled
- 26:05Speaker 5: by China. This is not an issue of where something
- 26:09Speaker 5: is made, it's where it is controlled from.
- 26:13Speaker 8: Now you'll remember probably one of the only good decisions
- 26:16Speaker 8: the Termbull government made was to exclude Chinese companies from
- 26:19Speaker 8: the five G network. But you think about what Israel
- 26:22Speaker 8: was able to achieve with their pages small, very uncomplex
- 26:28Speaker 8: devices really, and they were able to inflict massive damage.
- 26:33Speaker 8: If we've got evs driving around the country that could
- 26:37Speaker 8: at the hit of a button be turned against us,
- 26:41Speaker 8: that is a huge national security risk.
- 26:44Speaker 3: Well, and it extends beyond cars. And there was a
- 26:46Speaker 3: national security expert that told me about a month ago
- 26:49Speaker 3: that if you think of your household, every device that
- 26:52Speaker 3: updates on its own so plugs into the Internet and
- 26:56Speaker 3: receives an update, and that could be a hot water system,
- 26:59Speaker 3: could anything that plugs into the grid. In theory, they
- 27:03Speaker 3: could all be switched off at once one day, or
- 27:06Speaker 3: they could all be charged to actually overload the grid. Now,
- 27:10Speaker 3: the US government warned about this a couple of months
- 27:12Speaker 3: ago with solar panels, where they were opening up panels
- 27:15Speaker 3: and discovering listening devices and other things that we're concerned.
- 27:19Speaker 3: The US government's also put tariffs on Chinese vehicles for
- 27:23Speaker 3: this very reason over this concern that if you have
- 27:26Speaker 3: Chinese technology throughout the community, in every house, in the
- 27:30Speaker 3: event of something bad happening one day, the idea of
- 27:33Speaker 3: being able to switch everything off people can't speak. It
- 27:35Speaker 3: might be your mobile phone, it could be a computer
- 27:37Speaker 3: who knows, is actually terrifying without someone having to fire
- 27:41Speaker 3: a rocket or a bullet. I mean, this is the
- 27:43Speaker 3: kind of thing we need to be aware of because
- 27:45Speaker 3: we're all plugged into the same stuff.
- 27:47Speaker 2: I mean, that will be the next vanguard of war, right.
- 27:50Speaker 2: I mean, you know, if you want to bring a
- 27:52Speaker 2: country to its knees, the best way to do it
- 27:54Speaker 2: now will not be to send in tanks and bombers
- 27:57Speaker 2: and all these sorts of things. It'll be to cut
- 27:59Speaker 2: off the sea able that connects you to the internet,
- 28:02Speaker 2: or shut down an electricity network or something so that
- 28:04Speaker 2: you can't transfer money and bring a country to its
- 28:07Speaker 2: needs that way. And then once it's down that then
- 28:09Speaker 2: you can send in the tanks and the bombers, because
- 28:11Speaker 2: well they're sitting ducks at that point. And if we
- 28:15Speaker 2: are handing over the ability which we are to bring
- 28:19Speaker 2: all this technology into our country, a lot of it
- 28:21Speaker 2: coming out of an adversarial country like China.
- 28:24Speaker 1: I mean, we're asking for it, basically, I know of.
- 28:27Speaker 2: I don't know whether it's it is official public service
- 28:30Speaker 2: or government policy or not, but I know of seeing
- 28:34Speaker 2: federal government ministers or at least one who looked into
- 28:38Speaker 2: buying a Chinese even was told not to because it
- 28:41Speaker 2: would be a risk, And others are being told, you know,
- 28:45Speaker 2: if you're going to use these cars, you go to
- 28:46Speaker 2: basically disable all of the stuff inside of them, don't
- 28:50Speaker 2: make phone calls in them, etc. Because the government is
- 28:53Speaker 2: concerned about the potential risk here.
- 28:55Speaker 1: So if we acknowledge that this.
- 28:57Speaker 2: Risk exists for government ministers and for public officials and
- 29:02Speaker 2: bureaucrats and whatever, why are we not concerned about what
- 29:06Speaker 2: it means for the.
- 29:07Speaker 3: Rest of us too?
- 29:08Speaker 2: Like, if they're interested in listening to them, I can
- 29:12Speaker 2: tell you slightly it's interested, but they're also interested in
- 29:15Speaker 2: listening to lay people. I can tell you that the
- 29:20Speaker 2: Chinese are monitoring this channel, and they're monitoring everything down
- 29:24Speaker 2: to the local rag to see anything that is mentioned
- 29:28Speaker 2: about China. They have their eyes on everything. So why
- 29:32Speaker 2: would they not want access to your car and your
- 29:34Speaker 2: phone and all this sort of business.
- 29:36Speaker 8: Well, it's been a very successful enterprise for them exporting
- 29:39Speaker 8: highly subsidized technology. So firstly, they're not a free market economy.
- 29:45Speaker 8: They're disadvantaging Western companies by subsidizing their own industry so
- 29:49Speaker 8: they can then export it to Western countries to compromise
- 29:53Speaker 8: our national security while sending our own industries bus. But
- 29:57Speaker 8: it's been so successful that Tony Burke drives a Chinese EV.
- 30:02Speaker 7: Our Home Affairs.
- 30:03Speaker 8: Minister drives a Chinese EV. Government employees aren't even allowed
- 30:10Speaker 8: to have TikTok on their phones, yet he can drive
- 30:12Speaker 8: a Chinese EV.
- 30:14Speaker 7: That is just embarrassing.
- 30:16Speaker 8: But it pretty much sums up the state of our
- 30:19Speaker 8: foreign policy under labor.
- 30:20Speaker 7: Stupid and embarrassing.
- 30:22Speaker 2: Yeah, speaking of stupid and embarrassing, take a look at
- 30:25Speaker 2: this out of the United States. Now in Michigan, there
- 30:29Speaker 2: is an intersection where they have named it renamed it
- 30:34Speaker 2: after a go recently died. He owned an Arab American newspaper.
- 30:38Speaker 2: His name is Osama Sublani. His newspaper was called the
- 30:42Speaker 2: Arab American News. Now the council or local council says
- 30:46Speaker 2: this decision was made by the state government, not by them.
- 30:49Speaker 1: That's rather immaterial.
- 30:51Speaker 2: This guy, mister Sublani last year got up on a
- 30:55Speaker 2: stage and praised Hassan Nasralla, who used to be the
- 31:00Speaker 2: leader until he was killed of Hezbelah. So this is
- 31:03Speaker 2: a guy who is on the record having supported a
- 31:07Speaker 2: terrorist organization and the leader of a terrorist organization. He
- 31:12Speaker 2: said he was a great leader, and so after his
- 31:16Speaker 2: death a government, be it local or state, has seemed
- 31:20Speaker 2: fit to name streets after him. So a local goes
- 31:24Speaker 2: along to a council meeting and says, I'm a Christian man.
- 31:29Speaker 2: I have a bit of an issue with a guy
- 31:32Speaker 2: who praised an Islamist terror organization and its leader having
- 31:36Speaker 2: streets named after him in my town.
- 31:39Speaker 1: Have a look at how the maya responded.
- 31:42Speaker 9: As Buller, you know, bombed the embassy in b Roots
- 31:48Speaker 9: and including many Americans.
- 31:49Speaker 1: So I just feel that it's quite inappropriate.
- 31:52Speaker 4: You are an islamophobe, and although you live here, I
- 31:54Speaker 4: want you to know as a mayor, you are not
- 31:56Speaker 4: welcome here and a d you move out of the city,
- 31:59Speaker 4: or with the D that a launching parade celebrating the
- 32:01Speaker 4: fact that you moved out of the city because you
- 32:03Speaker 4: are now somebody who believes in coexistence blimey child.
- 32:08Speaker 1: So that's where we're at now.
- 32:09Speaker 2: You can't go along to a council meeting and say, hey,
- 32:12Speaker 2: I don't think streets should be named after a guy
- 32:14Speaker 2: who praised Hassan Nazraala without being told that you're in
- 32:17Speaker 2: islamophobe and that the day you move out of this city,
- 32:21Speaker 2: I'll be putting on a party.
- 32:22Speaker 7: It's so bad.
- 32:24Speaker 8: But dearborn Michigan has a reputation for being very very Islamic.
- 32:30Speaker 8: It is fifty five percent comprised of people from Middle
- 32:34Speaker 8: Eastern and North African origin.
- 32:37Speaker 7: It has continued to churn out a.
- 32:39Speaker 8: Lot of very far left radical politicians, and it is
- 32:44Speaker 8: has been termed the Jihad capital of the United States.
- 32:47Speaker 8: So this doesn't really surprise me. But for a resident
- 32:51Speaker 8: to go along and be treated like that by the
- 32:54Speaker 8: mayor that's supposed to be representing him as a constituent,
- 32:58Speaker 8: and to be accused of Lamophobia for calling out radicalism,
- 33:03Speaker 8: I mean that is it's dystopian. But I fear that's
- 33:07Speaker 8: where we're headed as a society. If you criticize Islam,
- 33:11Speaker 8: you'll be labeled and islama.
- 33:12Speaker 3: Fha just very quickly. I've already said this to not already.
- 33:14Speaker 3: But can you just imagine if the roles were reversed
- 33:17Speaker 3: in that situation and there was a Christian mayor and
- 33:20Speaker 3: a member of Islam came and said I have a
- 33:23Speaker 3: problem with this, and the Christian mayor said, leave town
- 33:26Speaker 3: and don't come back. I'll be happy for it. Can
- 33:27Speaker 3: you imagine, seriously.
- 33:30Speaker 2: In a country in the US, you'd have riots and
- 33:34Speaker 2: people shooting guns. I have no doubt it would be
- 33:37Speaker 2: that bad if you said something like that, which is
- 33:40Speaker 2: a sad indictment. But this is the thing is if
- 33:43Speaker 2: you feel comfortable in a country like the United States,
- 33:46Speaker 2: or certain pockets of the United States to say to
- 33:49Speaker 2: a white Christian man that you are not welcome in
- 33:53Speaker 2: this country, it kind of proves just how far things
- 33:56Speaker 2: have gone.
- 33:57Speaker 5: Some court.
- 33:58Speaker 8: I think it's actually called cultural Richmond diversity is it's
- 34:04Speaker 8: truly their strength in dearborn Michigan. But something else that's
- 34:08Speaker 8: really interesting, and it's happening here in Australia, is a
- 34:12Speaker 8: billboard celebrating Modi, the Prime Minister of India, celebrating his birthday.
- 34:18Speaker 7: Now this has popped up at Epping train station here
- 34:23Speaker 7: in Sydney.
- 34:24Speaker 8: If you look at the company behind the billboard. It's
- 34:27Speaker 8: apparently an advertising company based in Dubai, with very little
- 34:32Speaker 8: information on their website about who they are or what
- 34:36Speaker 8: they do.
- 34:37Speaker 7: And I just find that very interesting.
- 34:40Speaker 8: Why here in Australia are we having billboards pop up
- 34:44Speaker 8: in train stations celebrating the birthdays of foreign politicians.
- 34:51Speaker 2: It is bizarre, right, because I mean, you don't celebrate
- 34:55Speaker 2: the birthdays of any foreign leader any nationally.
- 34:58Speaker 8: We don't celebrate our own direct album.
- 35:01Speaker 2: We don't all go, oh, look it's Olbo's birthday. And
- 35:05Speaker 2: if it's Trump's birthday, oh it's Trumps.
- 35:07Speaker 3: Oh it's sir KEYA. Stama's birthday.
- 35:09Speaker 1: What a wonderful day.
- 35:11Speaker 2: But for Nearendromod, he's seventy fifth. There's been World Walk
- 35:15Speaker 2: coverage in India. I mean they're treading him like he's
- 35:17Speaker 2: the Bloody Gang or something, right, But for this ad
- 35:20Speaker 2: to pop up in Australia, what I want to know is,
- 35:22Speaker 2: and if you go on the website, it says at
- 35:23Speaker 2: the bottom of that billboard, you know, paid for by
- 35:26Speaker 2: EXH Productions. On their website it says we specialize in
- 35:29Speaker 2: crafting highly exclusive, private, unforgettable experiences trusted by the most
- 35:33Speaker 2: discerning clients. Discretion is at the heart of everything we do.
- 35:36Speaker 2: We operate with complete confidentiality. No work has shared publicly
- 35:40Speaker 2: and we maintain no social media presence.
- 35:43Speaker 1: This company is.
- 35:44Speaker 2: Based in Dubai and they're selling themselves as some sort
- 35:48Speaker 2: of like wedding or event organizing company. That's literally the
- 35:52Speaker 2: only thing they have published on their website. They have
- 35:54Speaker 2: no presence anywhere else. So a company in Dubai has
- 35:59Speaker 2: paid to put a billboard up at a railway station
- 36:03Speaker 2: in Sydney, Australia to celebrate the seventy fifth birthday of
- 36:08Speaker 2: the Indian Prime Minister.
- 36:11Speaker 1: Something is weird about it totally.
- 36:13Speaker 3: Although we have seen in the last couple of weeks
- 36:15Speaker 3: and fair enough that the Indian community and what happened
- 36:19Speaker 3: with the Liberal Party as well, that they have a
- 36:22Speaker 3: significant presence in Sydney now and it might have been
- 36:25Speaker 3: a targeted ad like that, but the background to it
- 36:27Speaker 3: is bizarre. You need to know how much they paid.
- 36:29Speaker 2: For indeed, and I'd love to know who's really behind
- 36:32Speaker 2: this and whether there's any foreign influence involved.
- 36:34Speaker 1: Is a very strange case.
- 36:36Speaker 2: After this, we'll get into the papers on the front
- 36:39Speaker 2: of the Telly tomorrow exclusive details of a betting scandal
- 36:42Speaker 2: breaking out in the NRL.
- 36:43Speaker 1: Don't miss that.
- 36:51Speaker 3: Radio.
- 36:51Speaker 1: Let's get into the papers.
- 36:53Speaker 2: Cracker on the front of the Daily Telegraph tomorrow James
- 36:55Speaker 2: your home paper.
- 36:57Speaker 3: Yeah. Great exclusive from Brent Reid. And with the NRL
- 36:59Speaker 3: Finals well and truly underway, this is an ugly story
- 37:02Speaker 3: involving brand and Smith, one of the biggest stars of
- 37:04Speaker 3: the game. The story says NRL star brand and Smith
- 37:07Speaker 3: told an alleged drug dealer bro I'm paying ninety one
- 37:10Speaker 3: dollars for first try scorer, before assuring the dealer he
- 37:13Speaker 3: would be in the starting lineup for South Sydney on
- 37:16Speaker 3: the game on July sixth. This is according to Bombshell
- 37:19Speaker 3: police claims. Now Smith's lawyer has said that there is
- 37:23Speaker 3: no evidence that Smith altered his game or attempted to
- 37:27Speaker 3: impact his teammates after it emerged that the friend stood
- 37:31Speaker 3: to win more than twenty thousand dollars in bets. Smith
- 37:34Speaker 3: will face Southwook court tomorrow. There's a separate charge including
- 37:39Speaker 3: alleged drug supply and the other thing to come out
- 37:41Speaker 3: of this is the Sydney Rooster is one of the
- 37:43Speaker 3: big clubs in the rugby league have in the last
- 37:47Speaker 3: couple of hours considered sacking one of their big stars,
- 37:50Speaker 3: or they're at least looking at that after Victor Radley
- 37:53Speaker 3: was caught up in all of this. And there's text
- 37:55Speaker 3: mere messages that allegedly show drug supply between players.
- 37:58Speaker 2: So it's a big or football Yeah, I mean, you know,
- 38:02Speaker 2: drugs are a big issue in both codes.
- 38:04Speaker 1: NRL and AFL.
- 38:06Speaker 2: Of course, will leave it up to the courts to
- 38:07Speaker 2: decide what has and has not happened. But see, regardless
- 38:11Speaker 2: of whether or not there was any altering of play,
- 38:14Speaker 2: and of course he says there wasn't you know, I'm
- 38:17Speaker 2: just texting someone and saying, these are the odds I'm paying,
- 38:19Speaker 2: and I'm going to be in the squad And the
- 38:21Speaker 2: perception that it gives, regardless of what did or did
- 38:25Speaker 2: not transpire, is not a good one. And you know,
- 38:28Speaker 2: unfortunately in the world, perception is reality.
- 38:31Speaker 8: And shouldn't you even be betting on games you're actually
- 38:34Speaker 8: playing as a sports player, Because.
- 38:37Speaker 2: He's not saying he's betting on it, he's telling someone
- 38:39Speaker 2: else that these are the odd zion pays, essentially saying,
- 38:42Speaker 2: you know, if you wanted to have a bet, this
- 38:44Speaker 2: is what you'd be able to get for me to
- 38:46Speaker 2: be first dry score.
- 38:47Speaker 8: But you think about in other industries like the financial services,
- 38:50Speaker 8: the regulations around training and stocks are so stringent you
- 38:56Speaker 8: can barely do anything, so many disclosures required. Sport is
- 39:00Speaker 8: big money. This is a big industry. You can make
- 39:02Speaker 8: a lot of money. They should be held to the
- 39:04Speaker 8: same standard as any other industry would be.
- 39:08Speaker 2: Well, I don't know what the go is in greyhound racing,
- 39:11Speaker 2: and I probably should look into it because I own greyhounds.
- 39:14Speaker 2: But I know that in horse racing, and I also
- 39:16Speaker 2: own horses, I am not allowed to bet against my
- 39:20Speaker 2: own horse in a race in which I have a runner.
- 39:24Speaker 2: And so there you go on that.
- 39:26Speaker 1: I know I don't have a fish tack.
- 39:28Speaker 2: If I could find a way to get fish to race,
- 39:31Speaker 2: I see if I can do it anyway. On the
- 39:33Speaker 2: front of The Advertiser Tomorrow, bot hallucination derails Frank AI
- 39:39Speaker 2: tail wags dog self proclaimed proclaims liberal watchdog Frank Pangelo
- 39:45Speaker 2: has admitted using artificial intelligence to craft allegedly fake academic sources.
- 39:50Speaker 2: Submitted to an Algal Bloom inquiry after the Advertiser used
- 39:54Speaker 2: AI to uncover his use of hallucinating bots. Funny little story,
- 40:00Speaker 2: this one out of the essay, and I like Frank Pangalo.
- 40:04Speaker 1: He's a good guy.
- 40:05Speaker 2: And he's a former journalist as well, which is part
- 40:08Speaker 2: of one of the funny parts of this story. He
- 40:10Speaker 2: was in one of these parliamentary committees and he's put
- 40:13Speaker 2: forward some academic reports and then given like the bibliography
- 40:18Speaker 2: as it were, for where they've come from and who
- 40:20Speaker 2: wrote them. And he says that the reports do actually
- 40:23Speaker 2: exist in they're real, but the list he gave was
- 40:27Speaker 2: false because it had been made up by AI. So
- 40:29Speaker 2: he's got authors on it who don't actually exist. And
- 40:32Speaker 2: The Times has gone off and contacted some of these
- 40:33Speaker 2: authors and I'd never.
- 40:34Speaker 1: Heard of that report. I've never written that.
- 40:37Speaker 2: So the Juno's go down today to his office and
- 40:40Speaker 2: door stop him. They knock on his door and he
- 40:42Speaker 2: opened the door. They put the foot in, And that's
- 40:45Speaker 2: one of the funniest parts of it, because Frank Pangelo
- 40:48Speaker 2: came from today tonight, which is the good old fashion
- 40:52Speaker 2: knock on the door, shove your foot in the door
- 40:54Speaker 2: and don't let them close it.
- 40:56Speaker 1: So he's come full circle thanks.
- 40:58Speaker 3: To AI well and a big biby where with AI
- 41:00Speaker 3: on that and you've always got to check whatever comes
- 41:02Speaker 3: out at the other end in the Mercury in Tasmania
- 41:06Speaker 3: tomorrow now, Premier Jeremy Rockcliffe is vowed to push your
- 41:09Speaker 3: head with plans to build a stadium at Hobart's Macquarie Point,
- 41:13Speaker 3: despite the Tasmanian Planning Commission recommending against it. Mister Rockcliffe
- 41:18Speaker 3: said a vote of both houses of Parliament would be
- 41:20Speaker 3: the final say on the stadium. So this has been
- 41:23Speaker 3: an issue that Jackie Lamby's obviously had a fair bit
- 41:25Speaker 3: to say about. It's been a big talking point when
- 41:28Speaker 3: you've got a housing crisis in Tazzy as well. But
- 41:31Speaker 3: despite getting some advice that it's not value for money,
- 41:34Speaker 3: he's of the view that they've got to do it.
- 41:36Speaker 3: And of course calebern Afl team link to this as well.
- 41:38Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's a no brainer to build it,
- 41:40Speaker 2: to be perfectly honest, I was down in Tazi a
- 41:42Speaker 2: couple of months ago. I've seen the site where they're
- 41:46Speaker 2: going to build it. I mean, you know, it's as
- 41:47Speaker 2: close to the smack bang as middle of town as
- 41:50Speaker 2: you can get. People will come from Melbourne in particular
- 41:53Speaker 2: in droves to go to the football in Tasmania. If
- 41:56Speaker 2: they build this stadium, I don't see why it even questions.
- 41:58Speaker 8: It just had an election. They've re elected a liberal government.
- 42:02Speaker 8: It was no secret their position on the stadium. For
- 42:05Speaker 8: them to block it and continue to put up a
- 42:07Speaker 8: fuss is just fighting the will of the people at
- 42:10Speaker 8: this point.
- 42:11Speaker 7: And these stadiums always work out in the end. You
- 42:13Speaker 7: do attract more customers.
- 42:14Speaker 3: Well that's the other thing as well. I mean everyone thinks, oh,
- 42:17Speaker 3: when we need money for house, you need money for hospitals.
- 42:19Speaker 3: But ultimately sport has its own budget, and when you
- 42:21Speaker 3: build something brand new like they have another parts of
- 42:24Speaker 3: the country, people turn.
- 42:25Speaker 7: Up exactly well.
- 42:25Speaker 8: In the Townsville bulletin tomorrow, a very interesting headline storm
- 42:30Speaker 8: over teacups Councils spent whopping eight hundred k on Wedgwood.
- 42:35Speaker 8: Townsville City Council's under fire after its world renowned Wedgwood
- 42:40Speaker 8: artists and industry exhibition. Cost rate pays eight hundred thousand
- 42:45Speaker 8: dollars but generated only one hundred and forty thousand dollars
- 42:49Speaker 8: in ticket sales, so a loss of about seven hundred
- 42:54Speaker 8: and sixty thousand dollars not ideal. Sorry, six hundred and
- 42:58Speaker 8: sixty thousand dollars the money they did not make their
- 43:03Speaker 8: money back. Classic council trying to do everything. But I
- 43:05Speaker 8: think this is really sad because I love Wedgewood. I
- 43:09Speaker 8: know it's not exactly cool and hip anymore, but.
- 43:11Speaker 3: You know, so what is it? In a nutshell? What
- 43:14Speaker 3: would you be going to see? Teapots and tea cup
- 43:17Speaker 3: you just walk around and what they're locked up where
- 43:19Speaker 3: you can hold it?
- 43:20Speaker 8: This is a world renowned Wedgewood artists and industry festival.
- 43:27Speaker 3: Do you just look at them? And how do you know?
- 43:29Speaker 3: There's rare ones?
- 43:30Speaker 1: I'm assuming and there are ruins.
- 43:33Speaker 2: But has you got eight hundred grand to put on
- 43:36Speaker 2: a display?
- 43:38Speaker 8: Were they buying all the tea cups to put them
- 43:41Speaker 8: on display?
- 43:43Speaker 3: I would have had to go on those little really
- 43:44Speaker 3: tight wrap containers.
- 43:46Speaker 2: You could just just pop around in my kitchen in
- 43:49Speaker 2: the morning and I'll put the headline and you're gonna
- 43:51Speaker 2: have a look at my wedge?
- 43:52Speaker 7: Would because you have.
- 43:54Speaker 1: Costs costs absolutely.
- 43:55Speaker 2: Nothing except the cost for me of putting the Earl
- 43:58Speaker 2: Gray in the teapot. Let's look the Newcastle Herald tomorrow
- 44:01Speaker 2: where it's his fury over Pippy plundering authorities are investigating
- 44:05Speaker 2: allegations that truckloads of pippies otherwise known as cockles to
- 44:09Speaker 2: me as a South Australian, being stripped from Stockton Beach
- 44:13Speaker 2: and then sold for cash. The beach's pippy population has
- 44:16Speaker 2: been rebounding in the past couple of years after a
- 44:18Speaker 2: period of over fishing, but local fishermen have reported that
- 44:21Speaker 2: mid North Coast pippy harvesters have been routine routinely sorry
- 44:25Speaker 2: targeting the beach before dawn recently, so they're coming in
- 44:30Speaker 2: before sunrise and basically raping the beach of all the
- 44:33Speaker 2: pippies and baggering off and saying that the rest of
- 44:37Speaker 2: you can can deal with it. It was as a
- 44:39Speaker 2: kid saying I loved going to the beach and you
- 44:41Speaker 2: put your feet in the sand and wiggle it around
- 44:43Speaker 2: and get the cockles out that I'd use for bait.
- 44:46Speaker 1: Of course it's a great meal too.
- 44:48Speaker 3: I've never heard them called cockles. I'm going to say, well,
- 44:50Speaker 3: I know it's how the Australia wain cockles and xosaurce
- 44:53Speaker 3: is that how?
- 44:54Speaker 2: I'll have to go and check what I'm back in
- 44:55Speaker 2: Adelaide next. But they do make up a good meal,
- 44:58Speaker 2: don't they.
- 44:58Speaker 8: I'll be great, fantastic, sober, but very sad for the
- 45:01Speaker 8: pippies that they're being exploited like that. Over in the
- 45:05Speaker 8: Gold Coast Bulletin tomorrow. You may remember from a couple
- 45:08Speaker 8: of nights ago, we were talking to you about this
- 45:11Speaker 8: saga of someone who was allegedly running a euthanasia ring
- 45:15Speaker 8: using whale euthanizer.
- 45:18Speaker 7: Well, there's a development in that story.
- 45:21Speaker 8: Ten k to buy deadly drug and accused Gold Coast
- 45:25Speaker 8: euthanasia ring was charging up to ten thousand dollars for
- 45:29Speaker 8: access to a drug used to kill beached whales, police alleged,
- 45:33Speaker 8: and then they were obviously selling that to people who
- 45:36Speaker 8: wanted to end their life. So very sad, and ten
- 45:38Speaker 8: thousand dollars is a fair bit of money.
- 45:41Speaker 1: It is a lot of money.
- 45:42Speaker 2: After the break, let me give you a tip. If
- 45:45Speaker 2: you can steal a television, don't do what this guy did.
- 45:49Speaker 2: I'll show you what he did in just a moment.
- 45:56Speaker 1: Radio. It's our favorite segment and I know it's yours too.
- 46:01Speaker 3: Wow, you don't look the day.
- 46:06Speaker 2: And today's entry is well not so smart chap In.
- 46:10Speaker 2: Of course, he's the day of the day. In Whyala
- 46:12Speaker 2: in South Australia, who's walked into an electrical store and
- 46:15Speaker 2: decided he'll knock off a television, which you can see
- 46:19Speaker 2: him in his footage shoving up his shirt. So he's
- 46:24Speaker 2: just taken the box and gone, Yep, no one's going
- 46:28Speaker 2: to know. I'll just put this up my shirt and
- 46:31Speaker 2: I will walk out and it's not going to be
- 46:34Speaker 2: obvious on the CCTV footage that it looks like I
- 46:37Speaker 2: have some weird growth on the front of my Tourso
- 46:41Speaker 2: the shop Electrical Discount has put that footage up on
- 46:44Speaker 2: their Facebook page and kindly ask for this chap to
- 46:48Speaker 2: either return it or come in and pay for it.
- 46:52Speaker 1: I think that's probably Do you think you can get
- 46:56Speaker 1: away with that?
- 46:56Speaker 3: In this data?
- 46:57Speaker 8: I feel like that was really a spontaneous robbery, like
- 47:01Speaker 8: he just let the silent thoughts in his mind win
- 47:04Speaker 8: and just overtake. Because if you were seriously get to
- 47:06Speaker 8: carry out a robbery, you'd bring a duffel bag, you'd
- 47:09Speaker 8: actually prepare. He was just like, slide it up the
- 47:12Speaker 8: shirt and hope no one notices.
- 47:14Speaker 3: Hey, just before we go, Virgin has decided to enter
- 47:18Speaker 3: new ground and allow animals on flights. This is going
- 47:22Speaker 3: to be a trial that starts very very soon. And
- 47:25Speaker 3: tickets for small cats and dogs and they're going to
- 47:27Speaker 3: allow four small cats or dogs to travel in the
- 47:30Speaker 3: cabin will be one hundred and forty nine dollars each.
- 47:34Speaker 3: The pets must be kept inside a soft carrier under
- 47:37Speaker 3: specific seats, and the combined weight must not exceed eight kilograms.
- 47:42Speaker 3: And the pets will not be permitted inside any airport
- 47:45Speaker 3: foot or beverage service area, and they won't be allowed
- 47:48Speaker 3: in the Virgin lounge either. But at long last, and
- 47:51Speaker 3: by the way, it's Melbourne to Gold Coast and Melbourne
- 47:53Speaker 3: to Sunshine Coast flights. The tickets are on sale. I
- 47:57Speaker 3: have to say I'm completely opposed to this completely. I
- 48:01Speaker 3: think this is going to be really not good. I
- 48:04Speaker 3: think it's fraught with danger.
- 48:06Speaker 7: Fraught with danger.
- 48:08Speaker 8: Give me a break, Four little fluffy dogs on a
- 48:11Speaker 8: plane danger, Yeah.
- 48:14Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's bad enough. It's bad enough with crying,
- 48:17Speaker 2: bloody kids on planes. Now you're going to have barking dogs.
- 48:20Speaker 2: And then the dog's going to want to take a
- 48:22Speaker 2: dump and the whole cabin is going to be stunk
- 48:25Speaker 2: out because some little dog wants.
- 48:27Speaker 3: To what they all start letting him out. That's the problem.
- 48:31Speaker 3: It'll be cages to begin with, and then they let
- 48:33Speaker 3: them out. Then you'll have dogs fighting on planes. You
- 48:35Speaker 3: let dogs fighting cats. They do that, really, they do
- 48:40Speaker 3: that in the US. Fraught with that, they let them.
- 48:42Speaker 2: They actually let the cats and the dogs and whatever,
- 48:45Speaker 2: you know, sort of come out of the cage and sit.
- 48:47Speaker 1: On the lady. I'm kind of cute, but I just
- 48:50Speaker 1: don't practical.
- 48:51Speaker 7: Well, I've been on a FLNE.
- 48:52Speaker 8: I was on a flight out of New York and
- 48:54Speaker 8: we got grounded on the tarmac for six hours and
- 48:57Speaker 8: the woman next to us had a dog in her karrot.
- 49:00Speaker 8: Didn't hear a peep out of it, did not hear
- 49:02Speaker 8: a people. It's well behaved, gorgeous little puppy. And I'd
- 49:06Speaker 8: rather sit next to a dog than half of the people
- 49:08Speaker 8: I've had to sit next to.
- 49:10Speaker 2: Exactly if the dog is well behaved, maybe, but you know, anyway,
- 49:14Speaker 2: I have to go home to not and break the
- 49:16Speaker 2: news to one of my cats that he is above
- 49:20Speaker 2: the weight limit and so.
- 49:21Speaker 1: He will not be allowed to get on.
- 49:25Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us tonight after this the Readly Bandy
- 49:27Speaker 2: Show
