  Speaker 1: He's the reform it.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Tonight, Matt canavan On calls from labor to whack a
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: twenty five percent tax on gas exports, as if we
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: hadn't done enough to damage our supplies of fossil fuel already. Well,
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: so tonight has the handsome bubble burst and the king's
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: important tribute to his mother on her birthday. Plus, Iran's
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: most militant leader plays a sick game of weekend at
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Bernie's with the country's missing supreme Leader. But first, Pauline
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Hanson is really copying it in the federal seat of Farah,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: where there's a make or break by election next month
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: for One Nation Get Up the hard left lobby group.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: He plans to spend six hundred thousand dollars attacking the
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: One Nation leader with things like an ad linking her
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: to Donald Trump and his boar on Iran's Islamic terrorist regime,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: as if Pauline Hanson personally ordered in the US bombers
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: and caused our fuel prices to rise. Plus there's attack
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: posters slamming Hansen as not the battle's champion at all,
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: borrowing billionaire Gina reinhaust Private playing a campaign around the
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: country living the high life, and these posters asked vhoters,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: is she still one of us? And promising to unveil
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: the real Hansen? Still one of us? I mean when
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: did get Up, which was founded with the help of
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: union bosses Harvard graduates from multimillionaires of the left. Get
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Up ever consider Hanson one of them? The real question
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: is is get Up one of us? Now? Get Up,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: you see, is headed by a bloke who boasts he
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: will the brains behind the rise of the European Greens
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: and falsely accuses Israel of genocide. Get Up has also
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: hired Britney Higgins's husband, David Scheraz declared bankrupt, of course,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: after being ordered to pay up for telling untruths about
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Higgins's former boss. It also campaigned for Labour's racist folk
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: to Parliament, and it's right into that damaging global warming
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: cult and is dead against the new oil, coal and
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: gas minds that we now are learning we desperately need.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: So to get Up, I ask who is this? Ask
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: this us that you're talking about, Kimo Sabi, because if
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: US is, you count me out. In fact, my advice
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: to voters is that if get Up is against it,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: you are probably for it. I'll go further. Get Up
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: actually represents exactly the kind of people and politics that
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: have driven so many voters into supporting Hanson in the
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: first place, and that has actually been exposed brilliantly in
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: a new report today by our top think tank on immigration,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: this Strain Population Research Institute, headed by the excellent Bob Byrell.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: This report is called Australia's Search to the Right. How
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: far can it go to which the answer is probably
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: a fair way yet with luck now, its biggest insight
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: is into who in fact is backing One Nation and why.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: According to its surveys, You've got commentators saying, oh, look,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: you know One Nation voters are just people smashed by
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: the cost of living pressures, you know, sour people, bit dumb.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: But that is entireently missing the point. As I've said
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: for months, No is this report. We're talking here about patriots.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: It says, our survey data indicates that these voters, comprised
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: just over half the electorate, people open to a pitch
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: from the right, and we label them Australia firsts in
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: common is that they are patriots with a strong sense
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: of belonging to Australia, and who are they will. They
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: include the fifty eight percent of Australians born right here
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: who have a strong sense of belonging here. These sixty
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: percent of Australian citizens born in English speaking countries, and
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: the sixty nine percent huge figure that of Margaret's born
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: in Europe also having a strong sense of belonging here. Now, unfortunately,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: just forty two percent of Asian and forty six percent
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: of others, which includes people from the Middle East, feel
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: they really belong but there's still a fair number. Now,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: the reporters are just a test of whether you, too,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: dear viewer, are an Australian first, a patriot who votes
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: on Australian values might be open to a pitch from
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: the right, to a pitch from one nation, or whether
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: you are, in fact what this report calls an open Australian,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: are somewhere else. Now, the test is the do you
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: gag or do you cheer when you hear Anthony Ebernezi
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: say what the Prime Minister did last month at a
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Vietnamese function.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: We need to continue to cherish our diversity as a
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: strength for our nation.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Personally, I gagged when I played you this very same
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: clip on my show last month. Now, diversity today is
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: a challenge. There's now so much diversity. I mean, I'm
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: pretty diverse, but there's so much of it that, in
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: my opinion, it's tearing us apart. Now. The government's real
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: job when this happens, when people are ghettoizing or atomizing,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: is to create unity, to somehow try to turn this
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: collection of tribes into an Australian people. But I tell
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: you how bad it's got because it's doing the exact opposite.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you the thing that gets so many people
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: backing one nation right now. And it's not just that
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: we have a government that flies three flags as if
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: we are a divided people who constantly need to be
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: welcome to our own country. Check out this as well.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: This goes to the culture. Three years ago, the Prime Minister,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: campaigning them for his race based voice the Parliament think
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: he was going to win, announced the New Arts Policy
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: and you could see from the start of the launch
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: where this was going. With an MC who identified as Aboriginal,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Welcome to country from someone who identified as Aboriginal, some
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: digeridoo player someone identifying as Aboriginal, plus the endless cow
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: towing to Aboriginal identity.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: We are gathered here together on the unseited lands of
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: the people of Bungles River Country.
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: I'm a proud mutty muty and Wambawambat woman.
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: I pay my respects to their oldest, past, present and emerging.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: First Nations people have mapped this landscape with song lines.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: They are at the heart of this cultural roadmap.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: And then came the policy itself, which was a big
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: push for exactly this kind of divisive identity politics and
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: involved switching or government arts funding to artists who are Aboriginal,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: or from other cultures, or handicap or speak some other language,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: or gay or lesbian or transgender or whatever, as long as.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: The different doors must be opened so we can hear
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: the great diversity of voices that have struggled to find
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: an outlet.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: And people at the launch were then showing a video
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: of arts bureaucrats and performers saying this policy of division
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: was brilliant.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: First Nations Art's been put as the first pillar is
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: so important.
• 7:56
  Speaker 7: We need to be diversifying the body's ideas.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Un rolls of bill. Now the result of all this, well,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: last week a filmmaker I won't name complain to me
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: about a form it had to fill in to apply
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: for a thirty thousand dollars grant for his documentary, a
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: grant from Screen Australia under this Albanezi Diversity policy. Now
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: this form, and I've read it, is twenty five pages long.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: More than seven of those pages ask the filmmaker not
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: about whether it's film will unitis or even entertain us
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: inspire us. They're questions like this, does the key creative,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: that's the person most involved in making the film the
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: key creative identifies the First Nation's Australian? How will you
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: ensure the First Nation's themes, characters, talent and locations are
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: represented respectfully and authentically. Is the key creative from a
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: culturally or linguistically diverse background? Please select the key creators gender?
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: And does the key creative identify as LGBTQIA plus question
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: mark as if you know their sexual preferences matter whether
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: they can make a good film or not. And there
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: were so many other questions like that. I mean, you know,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: please outline your process for providing a safe and inclusive
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: working environment and listening to and resolving diversity, equity and
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: inclusion concerns. Seriously, this is how your government now funds
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Australian films. They're making filmmakers sit an ideological tests by
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: favoring the diverse over something that unites, and the result
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: is exactly what you'd expect.
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: It was.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Last year just two percent of what Australian spent at
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: the movies was on Australian films. I mean even Indian
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: films in Hindi screen here earned twice as much. Our
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: top earning movie last year, Kangaroo, funded by Screen Australia
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: under these rules, earned less than the top earning Indian
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: movie in Australia so far this year, even though, or
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: should I say because it ticked all the diversity boxes,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: I told your normal rules.
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: Someone else can.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Say that and Film Australia boasted in this annual report
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: of another film that funded about a lesbian from a
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: lesbian planet trying to rescue a girl friend kidnapped by
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: no surprises. You guess where am I?
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Where?
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: The straight white Maleians, not.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: The straight white Melians that we don't want. This is
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: the owen eazy governments Australia. Of course, divide, divide, divide,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: not unite, certainly not unite around a culture. So is
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: anyone surprised that Pauline Hanson suddenly got hot in the
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: poles and that get up the cultural storm troopers of
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: the left is now out to destroy her. But as
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: such as the Left going for paul In Hanson's throat
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: and that Phara by election next month, the Nationals are
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: also going personal with this ad.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: It was a shower like this where Seawn Black attacked
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: his victim, dragged her out by the hair and raped her.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: It was a cell like this Shawn Black occupied after
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: he was convicted of the crime. And it's a polling
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: booth like this where you'll decide if the party that
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: then employed him to run their election campaign deserves your vote.
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: What party would do that?
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: One nation?
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: They're not what you think.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Jem is a regular to choose that commentator. National Leader
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Met Canavan, Matt, great to see you again. You're answers,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: not a word about your own policies, just monsters handsome
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: for giving a second chance to es a convicted rapist
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: that is now sacked under pressure. Is that the way
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: to go? Do you think?
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Well?
• 12:15
  Speaker 8: First of all, Andrew, you've played some of our ads.
• 12:19
  Speaker 8: We're also obviously running very positive ads as well. We've
• 12:21
  Speaker 8: got a positive attorney for the Murray daling here. We've
• 12:23
  Speaker 8: got to invest in dams and bring water back to
• 12:26
  Speaker 8: farming communities. I'll get to your question, though, but I
• 12:29
  Speaker 8: think it's I think it's pretty pretty bad for any
• 12:32
  Speaker 8: political party to employ a convicted rapist. I don't think
• 12:37
  Speaker 8: that's the right way to go about things. And I
• 12:39
  Speaker 8: think all political parties should be subject to scrutiny. I mean,
• 12:42
  Speaker 8: we have an adversarial system for a reason. Anybody seeking
• 12:48
  Speaker 8: to serve your nation and your parliament should be subject
• 12:52
  Speaker 8: to robust debate. There seems to be a view emerging
• 12:56
  Speaker 8: by some that some should be protected from such debate.
• 12:59
  Speaker 8: From such I never seek such protection for myself, I understand,
• 13:04
  Speaker 8: but putting myself before the trained people is going to
• 13:07
  Speaker 8: mean that I cop it and copy.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: It big time.
• 13:10
  Speaker 8: You develop a pretty thick skin quickly in politics, and
• 13:13
  Speaker 8: I've never complained about that. I don't complain about it
• 13:16
  Speaker 8: when my nation attacked me. I don't complain about when
• 13:17
  Speaker 8: the Labor Party attacked me. I just keep on fighting
• 13:22
  Speaker 8: and going, and so that's what I'm doing for the
• 13:23
  Speaker 8: people of Farah this week.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I've been here all.
• 13:25
  Speaker 8: Week, camping out we've got a great candidate fighting for
• 13:28
  Speaker 8: better health services.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: In Aubury.
• 13:30
  Speaker 8: We announced a funding for a water treatment plant in
• 13:32
  Speaker 8: to Render it amazingly that community has to drink brown water,
• 13:36
  Speaker 8: or most people don't, they pay for bottled water.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: But it's absolutely reprehensible.
• 13:40
  Speaker 8: We spent thirteen billion dollars in a Marriy Daling basin
• 13:43
  Speaker 8: plan and a country town can't have adequate drinking water.
• 13:47
  Speaker 8: And today we've been in Deniloquent at Finley, at drill
• 13:51
  Speaker 8: Dury talking to people about this water issue as well.
• 13:53
  Speaker 8: We've lost so much water from productive use here in
• 13:55
  Speaker 8: the Mary Daling base in this area produces forty percent
• 13:58
  Speaker 8: of our food.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: It's time.
• 14:00
  Speaker 8: It's time we invest back and give back to these communities.
• 14:03
  Speaker 8: And that's why, as I say, I want to get
• 14:05
  Speaker 8: behind building dams again, investing in the dams we do have.
• 14:09
  Speaker 8: Some of them are nearly one hundred years old now.
• 14:11
  Speaker 8: The Baron Duck Dam turns one hundred next year. And
• 14:14
  Speaker 8: so we've got to invest back in the real things,
• 14:17
  Speaker 8: producing real food, delivering real jobs to people. If anything,
• 14:22
  Speaker 8: if this crisis teaches us anything, it's that the real
• 14:25
  Speaker 8: world has to make a comeback.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: The virtual world.
• 14:28
  Speaker 8: We've been investing in in carbon credits and net zero,
• 14:32
  Speaker 8: in endless subsidies for projects like hydrogen which never eventuate.
• 14:36
  Speaker 8: That virtual world has got us nothing. It's increased the
• 14:40
  Speaker 8: vulnerability and dependence of Australia and we've got to just
• 14:44
  Speaker 8: get back to real things. That's what the National's part
• 14:46
  Speaker 8: is always about, investing in real things that we can
• 14:49
  Speaker 8: make see and touch and improve people's lives.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Well, yes, you're you're exactly showing that right now by
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: standing mixed to what sounds like a diesel driven generator.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: That's one of the real things that this petrol that
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: this petrol crisis has shown us.
• 15:07
  Speaker 8: Your other aed, he's decided to start his truck just
• 15:10
  Speaker 8: this time.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry about that. Andrew a job to do. I'm
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: sure I like to get on it.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: For the country, he's got a job to do. Absolutely Now.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Your other ad, one of your other ads is that
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: one nation wins seats Labor wins government. But Labor isn't
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: running a candidate in Para. So isn't the worry here
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: for the Conservative cause that attacking one nation so strongly
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: means a teal independent could win? Farah, because it seems
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: to me the contest between the two of them, why
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: would you help her?
• 15:45
  Speaker 8: Well?
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Two points, Andrew.
• 15:46
  Speaker 8: One, Just to make it very clear, we are preferencing
• 15:48
  Speaker 8: One Nation ahead of the Teals. I absolutely agree with
• 15:52
  Speaker 8: you that the Teal backed candidate here would be disaster
• 15:55
  Speaker 8: for Parah.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: And I don't want to see that happen.
• 15:57
  Speaker 8: Brad Robertson, Our candidate doesn't want to see that happen,
• 15:59
  Speaker 8: and we will preference One Nation, will recommend it, and
• 16:01
  Speaker 8: it's obviously people's choice, will recommend that people do put
• 16:04
  Speaker 8: one Nation above the Teals.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: The second.
• 16:09
  Speaker 8: Rapers, Well, I've got to choose between a lesser of
• 16:14
  Speaker 8: different evils. Andrew, of course I want our party to
• 16:16
  Speaker 8: win a second best is a liberal party. But I
• 16:20
  Speaker 8: do think absolutely the Teal back candidates are worse than
• 16:23
  Speaker 8: One Nation, absolutely because they want.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: To restart the Teals.
• 16:26
  Speaker 8: For the people that support this candidate want to restart
• 16:28
  Speaker 8: who order buybacks, they want to introduce we want to
• 16:31
  Speaker 8: double down on net zero, destroy the massive amounts of
• 16:34
  Speaker 8: farm land, increase the cost of living for Australians. Second
• 16:36
  Speaker 8: point I was going to make, I've heard this, I've
• 16:38
  Speaker 8: heard the One Nation candidate here in pharisay that this
• 16:40
  Speaker 8: is a two horse race and really we should just
• 16:43
  Speaker 8: be playing a support role to effectively one nation. I mean,
• 16:47
  Speaker 8: I'm sorry, I don't take anybody's vote for granted. It
• 16:49
  Speaker 8: seems like one nation here are expecting to win and
• 16:53
  Speaker 8: taking the votes of people here for granted. I'm going
• 16:55
  Speaker 8: to fight for people's vote right up to election day.
• 16:58
  Speaker 8: So I've been around this seat without candidate Robinsons. I've
• 17:00
  Speaker 8: been announcing our plans and vision for fixing problems here
• 17:04
  Speaker 8: like Miranda's drinking water. So I'm just not going to
• 17:08
  Speaker 8: do some kind of victory lap before or participate in
• 17:11
  Speaker 8: that before the election.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: I've just got to fight.
• 17:13
  Speaker 8: And you know, look, I'll let one nation run its
• 17:15
  Speaker 8: own campaign, but our job is not to try and
• 17:18
  Speaker 8: give them a Rales run into a seat. Because the
• 17:21
  Speaker 8: other the point you made is about labor here. This
• 17:24
  Speaker 8: is a chance to send a message to Labor. They're
• 17:27
  Speaker 8: not running in this seat. The Labor Party are running scared.
• 17:30
  Speaker 8: But we all want to give the Labor government a
• 17:32
  Speaker 8: big kick up the backside. And I think Anthionopinezi will
• 17:35
  Speaker 8: get that kick stronger from a Nationals candidate being elected,
• 17:39
  Speaker 8: which will show that the coalition is one seat closer
• 17:42
  Speaker 8: to forming government that the Labor Party are one seat
• 17:45
  Speaker 8: further away from having the big majority they've got. Obviously
• 17:48
  Speaker 8: it'll only be a small step, but it's a step
• 17:50
  Speaker 8: in the right direction. And so I think Brad Robinson
• 17:54
  Speaker 8: here and Pharaoh is so he's fighting for every vote
• 17:56
  Speaker 8: and he's going to bring that fight to camera for
• 17:58
  Speaker 8: farah if he's elected.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Running out of time, and that gets you away from
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: that truck and the exhausts. The Albanies of government just
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: quickly though, the Albities of government softening us up for
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: more tax sits in the budget, including on property investors,
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: using negative gear in capital gains, all that kind of stuff.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Labor back bench ed Hu Sick today also back to
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: months by the Greens for a twenty five percent tax
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: on gas exports. Obsicial leader Angus Status today said no,
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: here here, they are both.
• 18:31
  Speaker 9: There's a proposal around for twenty five percent tax which
• 18:34
  Speaker 9: would close down on the gas industry and that is
• 18:36
  Speaker 9: the intent of that tax. Now right now, we need
• 18:39
  Speaker 9: more oil and more gas. That way we get affordable
• 18:43
  Speaker 9: energy in this country. That way we have the fuel
• 18:45
  Speaker 9: security we need.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: How we drop poor ed his moment of glory on
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Sky News. But should we raise taxes on gas exporters.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Look, let's be very clear Andrew.
• 18:59
  Speaker 8: This proposal for or a twenty five percent gas tax
• 19:02
  Speaker 8: is not a proposal to raise tax for me. It's
• 19:04
  Speaker 8: a proposal to shut down the gas industry. The Greens
• 19:08
  Speaker 8: want to shut down all fossil fuels production, including gas,
• 19:11
  Speaker 8: And no business in this country could withstand a twenty
• 19:14
  Speaker 8: five percent impost on their revenues, not in their profits,
• 19:19
  Speaker 8: not a tax you pay after you account for all
• 19:21
  Speaker 8: your costs and deductions, a twenty five percent hit to
• 19:24
  Speaker 8: your revenues. There is no business in this country that
• 19:27
  Speaker 8: has margins of that size over the long term. Sometimes
• 19:30
  Speaker 8: the gas industry will have large margins at times like
• 19:32
  Speaker 8: this where prices rise, and then they'll have losses as
• 19:35
  Speaker 8: well and things even out, but they don't have over
• 19:37
  Speaker 8: the cycle that type of fat in the system to withstand.
• 19:41
  Speaker 8: And this is why they put it at twenty five percent. Now,
• 19:44
  Speaker 8: what we could see is what we should do is
• 19:46
  Speaker 8: make sure we get a.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Reasonable rate of return.
• 19:48
  Speaker 8: Keep in mind that the patrolling resource rent tax that
• 19:50
  Speaker 8: it currently applies was something that was designed by Craig
• 19:53
  Speaker 8: Emerson and the Labor Party. And it's very, very complex,
• 19:57
  Speaker 8: but I want to see a strong and functioning gas industry.
• 20:02
  Speaker 8: It provides fuel security forustrains which we desperately need, jobs,
• 20:05
  Speaker 8: and a sustainable level of taxing.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: I think you might have put your finger on it.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: I think you might have put your finger on it.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: A tax that I would kill the gas industry. What
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: is the greens big dream? Exactly that mccanavan, thank you
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: so much for your time. After the break it runs
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: sick game of weekend that Bernie's Who has got the
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: body of the missing Supreme Leader? The answer could be
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: the difference between peace and war. A bizarre game is
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: being played in ir Own that could decide where whether
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: tomorrow's planned piece thoughts for the US will actually go
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: ahead or whether the bombs will fall. The game is
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: much like that nineteen eighty nine film Weekend at Bernie's,
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: where you know, two guys pretend they're murdered Boss Bernie
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: is still alive so they can keep living in his
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: beach house.
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: Doesn't anyone realize he's dead.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Now Iran's Bernie is its new Supreme Leader, Oshtava Kameni,
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: who hasn't actually been seen anywhere in public or on TV,
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: even heard on radio. Since the former Supreme Leader, his
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: father was assassinated on day one of this war. Now
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: Oshtava Kamene who took over. But he actually was in
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: the same compound as his father when it was bombed,
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: and most rumors are that he actually lost their leg,
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: suffered perhaps serious facial injuries, could even be dead. So
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: who's running around with his Iranian bernie? You say, no, no, no,
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: he is alive, is alive? You know saw on the
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: other day. Well, that would be this guy, Ahmed Vahedi.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: He's head of Iran's ultra radical Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: The Institute for the Study of War and Iranian dissident
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: journalists believe that Vahedi is in fact holding the Supreme
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: Leader or it's got him under its control and will
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: not let more pragmatic leaders like he runs, President, the
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Speaker of Parliament, the Foreign Minister see or speak to him.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: The result is very serious because Vahiti can outclaim and
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: does you know, well, then if the Supreme Leader backs
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: him up, when Vahitian sisters no peace there with America,
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: and the President and the Speaker of Parliament. The foreigners
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: who do want to talk peace with Americans in Pakistan tomorrow,
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: they can't get to see this Iranian Bernie they're supreme
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: leader and have him give him his blessing. Say no,
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: you're right, go talk peace. So no one is now
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: sure if these more pragmatic leaders will dare show up
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: in Pakistan, it's being villified as traitors. And if they
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: don't appear, Donald Trump says, well, lots of bombs will
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: fall on Iran again. I was joined earlier by our
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: Tuesday regular Sean Spicer, donald Trump's first White House spokesman,
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: Sean Sparser. It's great to see you. How much pressure
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: is Donald Trump under from voters to in this war?
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: First well, increasingly so. But the problem is, I think
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: they've talked a lot about the economic benefits, and I
• 23:16
  Speaker 6: think that what the President needs to do is communicate
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: more clearly on the threat, making sure that we ensure
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: that Iran can't threaten us again with their nuclear capabilities,
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: with their ballistic capabilities. And largely the messaging to the
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: American people has been economic and the cost of oil
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: and when it'll get back down three dollars a gallon.
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: Here in the States. So I think, to be honest
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: with the Andrew, they need to do a better job
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: of making sure that Americans are reminded about the threat
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: that poses that is posed to our country and frankly
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: to the entire world when it comes to Iran.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: Yes, and I also think it is better for Donald
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: Trump to win this war will than fast. He needs
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: something decisive.
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: That's the key, you just put your finger on it.
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: This is if we get out of there without actually
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: making sure that that uranium in particular no longer poses
• 24:08
  Speaker 6: a threat to us, then I think it will be
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: for not. And I think we need to remind people
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: over and over again that, yes, we have a midterm
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: election coming up. Yes, we're feeling the pain at the
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: pump here in these states, at the gas station. But
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: the long term reason that we need to come out
• 24:25
  Speaker 6: of there with is a reminder that we need to
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: make sure that they are incapable of attacking our service members,
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: our institutions, our people, and so stopping that from happening
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: ever again is critical.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: All Right, So we've got these peace talks, which may
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: or may not happen in Pakistan probably Tuesday Wednesday. I
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: suspect they will happen, although it runs playing a bit
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: cutes about whether or not they'll turn up. The ceasefire
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: actually ends on Wednesday night time. Thursday owns. What do
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: you think Donald Trump will do.
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: Well? I think you preface this correctly. I mean if
• 25:07
  Speaker 6: Iran doesn't show up and our team does, which I
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: believe they will, because the Americans at least need to
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: show that we're trying, and that's a mistake. A lot
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: of people are trying to figure out how do we
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: look if we don't At the end of the day,
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: I think, more than anything, to the world and to
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: the American audience here at home, the President needs to
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: show that he is trying to foster a peaceful resolution
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: to this conflict. So our team, I think, will be there,
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: whether the Iranian show or not, is going to be
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: interesting because if they don't show up, I can see
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: the President taking some shots as soon as the ceasefire ends.
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: If they do show up, and I actually do believe
• 25:45
  Speaker 6: they will, I think that one they'll show up to
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: the President will extend the ceasefire, and three will walk
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: out of these talks not much further than we did
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: a week ago. Meaning I don't think Iran really wants
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: an outcome of peace. Number two is I actually I'm
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: still a little confused who's really in charge in Iran
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: and the ier GC seems to be a lot more
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: in the driver's seat than some of the elected officials
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: there right now.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: Well, I think you put your finger on it yourself here.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: I think the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps doesn't want peace,
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: and yet the President, Speaker of the Iranian Parliament foreign
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: minists that they do, but they don't want to seem
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: like they're weak and in danger then of being off
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: back home. So it'll be interesting. On the other hand,
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: it's fascinating on your side to see you the president
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: is sending for this second round of peace talks. Heading
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: the delegation again is the Vice President Jadie Vance, who
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: didn't want this war with him? Is I think the
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: world's worst diplomat, special envoy and real estate billionaire Steve Vitkoff,
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: who Vladimir Putin played like a fiddle. And Donald Trum
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: I'm son in law Jared Kushn, who I think is
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: impressive that in Trump's first term he was instrumental in
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: Negotia and the historic accords between Israel and four Arab
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: Gulf stites. Why these three guys, why is he sending
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: them and what are their respective roles.
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: It's a great question. I mean to me, I think
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: they run the spectrum. You noted the Vice President jd
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: Vance isn't the biggest fan of foreign interventions. So I
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: think my sort of take is that if you can
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: get jd Vance and Witkoff and Kushner, who are probably
• 27:32
  Speaker 6: more supportive than Israel when it looks when you're looking
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: at the totality of where people stand on the spectrum,
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: if you can get the three of them to buy
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: off on a deal, I think the president feels pretty
• 27:42
  Speaker 6: reassured that it's a good deal. Now you asked why,
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: and let's just face it, obviously, the vice president shows
• 27:48
  Speaker 6: a level of gravitas when you're over there negotiating that
• 27:52
  Speaker 6: you can get no higher than the second in command.
• 27:55
  Speaker 6: So that says that with respect to Witkoff and Jared.
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: You noted Jared's success in the Able Accords during the
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: Trump first Trump and secondly with Witkoff. I mean, they
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: go back a long time. The president needs to feel
• 28:07
  Speaker 6: confident in the person that he's negotiating, or he's kind
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: of giving the negotiating power too, and I think a
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: lot of times in the United States we have these trusted,
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: you know, decade old diplomats that probably don't have a
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: relationship with the president themselves. And the nice thing about
• 28:22
  Speaker 6: Witcoff and Jared in particular, is that they can call
• 28:25
  Speaker 6: back and say, mister President, you know, here's where we are.
• 28:27
  Speaker 6: We think we're going to walk away from the deal
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: for this reason, or we think that there's a deal
• 28:31
  Speaker 6: worth making, and here are the terms. But I think
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: the key is that they will have the confidence of
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: the President of the United States. He knows they know
• 28:39
  Speaker 6: his red lines, he knows what they're willing to go,
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: you know, what they're willing to offer or not. And
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: that's at the end of the day when this all
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: comes down to it. When you send someone in negotiate
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: on your behalf, whether it's a real estate deal, a
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: business deal, a TV contractor, or a deal like this, you
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: need to make sure that the people who are sitting
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: at that table have the confidence and trust of the
• 29:00
  Speaker 6: person they're communicating or excuse me, negotiating on the behalf
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: of in this case, President Trump. And there's no greater
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: three people that I can think of that would have.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: That Donald Trump. The Shawan, as you know, has been
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: attacked around the world. So the language has been using
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: in this war, you know, threats to destroy around civilization, now,
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: threats again to blow up every bridge and pass station
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: if there's no deal, abusing allies like Britain and Australia too.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: How do you see his use of language.
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: Well, I think the proof is in the pudding. We
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: have a ceasefire right now, because I think the Iranians
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: recognize the shelling that they were taking and that he
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: meant it when he said that he was going to
• 29:42
  Speaker 6: come after him. I mean, I don't I think that.
• 29:44
  Speaker 6: To be honest with you, it's not so much Trump
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: uses language to get a deal. And I'm always amazed
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: at the number of times over the last ten years
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: he's done something, dialed the rhetoric up, gotten a deal,
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: and then everybody panics and freaks out about the rhetoric.
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: At the end of the day, I tend to be
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: a results guy, right, And so let's look at this
• 30:02
  Speaker 6: in the context of does he get a deal with Iran.
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: Whether it's this weekend, next weekend, the weekend after, I
• 30:08
  Speaker 6: don't really care if they in Iran, get a little
• 30:11
  Speaker 6: concern that he's going to bomb the heck out of him,
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: and that's what brings him to the table, and that's
• 30:17
  Speaker 6: what potentially and eventually brings peace. Then do you really
• 30:21
  Speaker 6: care what he put in a truth social post? I mean, again,
• 30:24
  Speaker 6: these guys are killing not just Americans, but frankly, you know,
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: human beings of multiple countries for decades, for forty seven years,
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: and suddenly our real concern is what's in a truth
• 30:36
  Speaker 6: social post as opposed to the real bad people here.
• 30:40
  Speaker 6: I mean, give me a break. Where are our priorities
• 30:42
  Speaker 6: when we're worried about the rhetoric and not the actions
• 30:44
  Speaker 6: of Iran?
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: Well, my view for uses a few harsh woods and
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: the wild rhetoric that you can see as wild rhetoric
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: by the way, not men. But if that shortens the
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: war and stops a lot of people dying, isn't that
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: a small price to pay for him? And Sean Spicer
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: thank you so much for your time.
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: As always, Thanks Andrew, appreciate it.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: After the break, new evidence now that even organized crime
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: gangs are ripping off the inn diis Can you believe it?
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: And has the Paul Enhansen bubble burst. I showed at
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: the top of the show how One Nation leader Paul
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: In Hanson is getting attacked by both the right, the
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: Nationals and by the hard left get up in the
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: Pharaoh by election. You must say, by the way, the
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: reaction I'm getting so far to the my phone to
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: the Nationals ad tearing into Paul and Hanson's former staffer
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: who had been convicted Serve this time for rape, pretty
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: strongly against the Nationals. Now, this of course comes after
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: two poles yesterday, both showing support for One Nation falling
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: by two points, and that was enough for the career
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: Mals editors to suggests that One Nation will now flame
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: out again. It's not a sure thing, but that's the proposition,
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: because it's only good for one thing, according to this article,
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: a useful thing, I must say, shocking the big parties
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: in some sense before we get to an election. And that,
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: in fact Hansen told me told us on the show
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: last night that that was in fact one reason her
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: support had gone down exactly that the coalition stealing, as
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: she put it, her tough immigration policy. So the coalition
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: sees sense suddenly again, Why would you vote One Nation?
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: Is this true? Join me? Mia Schlick, the executive director
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: of the Samuel Griffin Society, and Michael Danby, former Federal
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: labor politician and Chairman of the Joint Standing Committee on
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: Foreign Affairs, Defense and Trade MIA. Is the air going
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: out permanently from the One Nation balloon? Do you think?
• 32:48
  Speaker 10: Well, look, Andrew, it's an interesting question. I think momentum
• 32:52
  Speaker 10: was always going to be the biggest challenge for One
• 32:54
  Speaker 10: Nation if they did want to see our larger support
• 32:56
  Speaker 10: the polls come next federal election. Following on from the
• 32:59
  Speaker 10: line for election, we did see a huge waiver support
• 33:02
  Speaker 10: come their way in the polls, but the end of
• 33:04
  Speaker 10: the day, polling numbers are not votes, and it was
• 33:07
  Speaker 10: always going to be a challenge translating those protest votes
• 33:11
  Speaker 10: against the major parties into support for One Nation in
• 33:14
  Speaker 10: the form of those votes. And we've certainly seen the
• 33:17
  Speaker 10: Coalition regain some footing in recent days. They came out
• 33:20
  Speaker 10: with an excellent policy on immigration, and Senator Matt Canavan
• 33:24
  Speaker 10: has done an excellent job leading the Nationals, particularly on
• 33:27
  Speaker 10: the net zero front. So we have seen the Coalition
• 33:29
  Speaker 10: kind of steady their footing and it will be interesting
• 33:32
  Speaker 10: to see the effect this has on the One Nation support.
• 33:35
  Speaker 10: But I do think any idea that One Nation will
• 33:38
  Speaker 10: simply fade into irrelevance is seriously misreading the mood on
• 33:43
  Speaker 10: the ground, and that is people are really upset with
• 33:46
  Speaker 10: the major parties. They are fed up with not being
• 33:48
  Speaker 10: listened to, and they are tired of the lack of
• 33:50
  Speaker 10: political leadership on some really serious issues that are facing
• 33:53
  Speaker 10: this country. And Paul enhance and has been filling that void.
• 33:57
  Speaker 10: As long as she continues to do so, I think
• 33:59
  Speaker 10: One Nation will continue to be a serious player in
• 34:02
  Speaker 10: this game.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I must say the problem with that theory that
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: they'll vote for the coalition instead is they might have
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: gone off the One Nation slightly, but the Coalition vote
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: barely shifted. Michael, what do you think of this theory
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: that the One Nation is in now and decline.
• 34:20
  Speaker 11: I joined the text messages to you say I was
• 34:24
  Speaker 11: very surprised at that nasty National Party, and I'm surprised
• 34:29
  Speaker 11: at get Up is spending six hundred thousand dollars in
• 34:33
  Speaker 11: one small electorate and the Teal is spending.
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: A million dollars.
• 34:36
  Speaker 11: Don't you think the regional country a million that electorate
• 34:40
  Speaker 11: are smart enough to know that all of these outsiders
• 34:43
  Speaker 11: are trying to interfere in their electorate and tell them
• 34:47
  Speaker 11: who they should elect. The key thing for me, I
• 34:49
  Speaker 11: just repeated to you, Andrew, is where are the preferences going.
• 34:53
  Speaker 11: I don't expect one Nation's vote to collapse, but it
• 34:56
  Speaker 11: won't be fifty percent.
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: So the Liberal votes being.
• 35:01
  Speaker 11: Preference to one Nation and a one nation's preferences going
• 35:04
  Speaker 11: to the Liberal Party, one of them ought to win.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: Well, yes, yes, but just on that thing. Michael also
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: had a strong reaction against the Nationals. Ad. Don't you
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: feel did you find it a surprising idea that Mcanaman says, oh, no,
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: we're going to preference one nation ahead of the teal,
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: even though he'd run a vicious ad about a guy
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: that had served in jail and rape is a terrible
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: crime and I don't think he should have been hired.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: But boy, it really went personal and nasty. Why would
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: you then give preferences to that party?
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right, Andrew.
• 35:49
  Speaker 10: That was a serious ad and had a serious intention
• 35:52
  Speaker 10: behind it. I think the Nationals are quite nervous about
• 35:55
  Speaker 10: support for one Nation. I think they're seeing the rights
• 35:58
  Speaker 10: and support all across the country and they know that
• 36:01
  Speaker 10: there's a serious threat to be that they need to
• 36:03
  Speaker 10: take one. Now, I think in terms of preferencing, I
• 36:06
  Speaker 10: don't see how they can preference the Teals above one
• 36:08
  Speaker 10: nation are giving, especially the news about the amount of
• 36:11
  Speaker 10: funding that's coming from Climate two hundred for the TiAl
• 36:14
  Speaker 10: in that seat. So I don't see in any well
• 36:16
  Speaker 10: that they can be preferenced above one nation. But in
• 36:19
  Speaker 10: saying that, you can understand why they're nervous about the
• 36:22
  Speaker 10: rise of one nation because very well they could wipe
• 36:24
  Speaker 10: out some coalition and national seats.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: Well, I'd like to see if they're going to run
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: something similarly. Lastly about the Teal politician candidate, but I
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: somehow suspect they will not. Michael how No, even slack
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: have been the politicians of public servants who design the
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: National Disability Insurance Scheme. You know, the best than brightest
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: in Canberra. We're going to design a scheme. It's going
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: to be full proof. In fact, it's taken no time
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: at all to be so raughted that one in thirty
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: five Australians now are on it claiming they're significantly disabled.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: And providers we read today now include organized crime games
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: using the ndaes to rip us off and to launder money.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: That's according to the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission. Mate, how
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: on earth did this happen?
• 37:17
  Speaker 11: Well, it was good intentions and all of the ripoff
• 37:20
  Speaker 11: merchants coming in seeing it was a Commonwealth scheme. I
• 37:23
  Speaker 11: noticed that our young activist friend Drew Pavlou and his
• 37:27
  Speaker 11: offsider have got an even worse statistic that one in
• 37:31
  Speaker 11: thirteen in lakember are on NDS.
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: That is extraordinary.
• 37:37
  Speaker 11: And the pictures of him chasing off some of the NDIS.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: Practice one of the NDAs providers.
• 37:45
  Speaker 11: Yes, just extraordinary. So something has got to be done
• 37:50
  Speaker 11: about it. It's going to be bigger than defense expenditure
• 37:53
  Speaker 11: soon and Australia simply can't afford this. The States have
• 37:56
  Speaker 11: abrogated their responsibilities. It should never have been a pathway
• 38:02
  Speaker 11: via the Commonwealth to get into it. It should have
• 38:05
  Speaker 11: stayed with much more on the ground practitioners in the
• 38:08
  Speaker 11: States who could at least have stopped the widespread misuse
• 38:12
  Speaker 11: that's obviously taking place.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Michael Mea reminds us about the extraordine statistics in
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: thea Camber. I think it was about one in there
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: has provided for every thirteen people, which clearly something is
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: going wrong here, but the camber, the particular mix of
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: people there. I also remember the notorious pink Bats scheme
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: of Kevin Rudd, where you had people that hadn't been
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: in the country for more than a few months ripping
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: that off too. It's extraordinary, isn't it that you find
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: people new to this country you find it very easy
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: to rip off what our best than brightest in Canberra
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: have designed. If it comes to their free money, how
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: slack must those mandarins in Canberra be?
• 39:00
  Speaker 10: Well, I don't think it's a particularly difficult US scheme
• 39:02
  Speaker 10: to wrot Andrew. I mean, plenty of people are finding
• 39:04
  Speaker 10: a way to do it. But the reality is is
• 39:06
  Speaker 10: that needs to be completely stripped back to its basics,
• 39:09
  Speaker 10: back to its original purpose. The reality is is that
• 39:12
  Speaker 10: it is blown completely out of proportion. Australia can no
• 39:15
  Speaker 10: longer afford it, and now left right and center we
• 39:17
  Speaker 10: have criminals routing the system. Yet at the same time
• 39:21
  Speaker 10: we're seeing a complete lack of political leadership on the issue.
• 39:24
  Speaker 10: We are seeing a lack of leaders willing to speak
• 39:26
  Speaker 10: about it in fear of being called heartless. Now that's
• 39:29
  Speaker 10: despite the news that even today we had reports coming
• 39:32
  Speaker 10: out that we have criminal gangs who are targeting vulnerable
• 39:36
  Speaker 10: and victims on a scheme and routing them so they
• 39:39
  Speaker 10: can put money in their own back pocket, which of
• 39:41
  Speaker 10: course is being supplied by the taxpayer. This scheme was
• 39:45
  Speaker 10: set up to help genuinely disabled people, to give them
• 39:48
  Speaker 10: the skills they need to live the most independent life
• 39:50
  Speaker 10: that they could to then go and participate in the community.
• 39:53
  Speaker 10: And we need to get straight back to doing that
• 39:56
  Speaker 10: because at the moment it's just not serving those purposes.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: Well said Michael. Let me just finish on this very
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: well said mere. When Jews kill Muslims in war, massive story,
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: massive scandal, protests in the street. Now we've got Islamic
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: terrorists from Nigeria's Boko Haram that's like their version of Hamasa.
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: I guess they've kidnapped more than four hundred villagers and
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: yesterday threatened to kill them in three days if the
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: government didn't pay ransom. And I bet almost no one
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: here has heard of this and not one person will
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: march in protest in our streets what's going on.
• 40:36
  Speaker 11: There will be no demos. All of those fools that
• 40:38
  Speaker 11: were in Brisbane trying to use a Johnny Farnham song
• 40:42
  Speaker 11: to get around a band elimination of saying they won't
• 40:47
  Speaker 11: say a word. And equally, the Islamist murdering Islamic people
• 40:52
  Speaker 11: in Dafura in western Sudan will continue to without protests.
• 40:57
  Speaker 11: I'm afraid to say this, but a lot of my
• 41:00
  Speaker 11: friends in the Jewish community say no Jews, no news.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: And fortunately that seems very much to be the case
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: so often. Michael Danby Meershley, thank you very much to
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: you both after the break the King's impressive tribute to
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: his mother and what would have been her one hundredth
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: birthday today Today would have been the one hundredth birthday
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: of Queen Elizabeth and King Charles paid his mother. I
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: think it's a lovely and important tribute of I'll show
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: you half of.
• 41:32
  Speaker 12: It today as we mark what would have been my
• 41:36
  Speaker 12: beloved mother's one hundredth birthday, my family and I pause
• 41:41
  Speaker 12: to reflect on the life and loss of a sovereign
• 41:45
  Speaker 12: who meant so much to us all, and to celebrate
• 41:49
  Speaker 12: anew the many blessings of her memory, much about the
• 41:54
  Speaker 12: times we now live in. I suspect may have troubled
• 41:58
  Speaker 12: her deeply, but I take heart from her belief that
• 42:02
  Speaker 12: goodness will always prevail and that a brighter dawn is
• 42:07
  Speaker 12: never far from the horizon. For, as a young Princess
• 42:11
  Speaker 12: Elizabeth put it in her first ever public broadcast age
• 42:17
  Speaker 12: just fourteen, we can each play our part to make
• 42:22
  Speaker 12: the world of tomorrow a better and happier place. It
• 42:27
  Speaker 12: is a belief which I share with all my heart,
• 42:33
  Speaker 12: So young or old, and whatever our differences, let us
• 42:38
  Speaker 12: therefore seek to follow this example as we make today
• 42:43
  Speaker 12: not the marking of a milestone felt by absence, but
• 42:47
  Speaker 12: the celebration of a life well lived and a legacy
• 42:52
  Speaker 12: of hope, as we strive together towards a better, happier tomorrow.
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: Now, I've chattered to the Queen only once, but was
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: struck by how deeply informed she was about Australia, and
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: how dutiful and kind she was too to spend some
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: of a busy time with me in a handful of
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: others I was with, I was deeply impressive. Word to me.
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: Then was Service joining me as she does each week,
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: but this time from India. Is Tall TV host Samara Gill. Samara,
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: great to see you in exotic location again, But oh
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: my god, that looks fantastic.
• 43:33
  Speaker 5: Where are you Royal tour? Yeah, I've decided.
• 43:37
  Speaker 7: To take a leap out of Harry and Meghan's book
• 43:40
  Speaker 7: and go on my own royal tour over here.
• 43:43
  Speaker 5: But yeah, no, I am somewhere on the side of
• 43:45
  Speaker 5: the road.
• 43:45
  Speaker 7: I've stopped off to do this because I couldn't miss
• 43:48
  Speaker 7: this story.
• 43:49
  Speaker 5: It's absolutely brilliant from the King.
• 43:52
  Speaker 7: Honestly, it's something quite rare that you see in modern
• 43:56
  Speaker 7: public life. Sincerity without spin, and it really cut through
• 44:00
  Speaker 7: for the King.
• 44:01
  Speaker 5: You know, Queen Elizabeth the ion represented this.
• 44:04
  Speaker 7: Very quiet, unglamorous duty that kind of frankly feels quite
• 44:08
  Speaker 7: alien in a in political class. No slogans, no ego,
• 44:13
  Speaker 7: as you said, Andrew, just pure service. And I think
• 44:16
  Speaker 7: that's why people respond so emotionally to her legacy. And
• 44:19
  Speaker 7: when you see the nineteen seventy seven Silver Jubilee Tour
• 44:23
  Speaker 7: that she gave to Australians, she connected with every day
• 44:27
  Speaker 7: Australians in a way that.
• 44:29
  Speaker 5: Royalty hadn't before.
• 44:31
  Speaker 7: And I think that even when you had the nineteen
• 44:33
  Speaker 7: ninety nine referendum, whereby you know, the biggest and most
• 44:37
  Speaker 7: constitutional question in Australia's modern history was asked.
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: She didn't interfere.
• 44:43
  Speaker 7: She just let the Australian public have their opinion on
• 44:46
  Speaker 7: it without trying to get involved.
• 44:48
  Speaker 5: And I think that was who the Queen was.
• 44:50
  Speaker 7: And when you see the kings say things like this,
• 44:53
  Speaker 7: sorry the Indian life in the background, you do see
• 44:58
  Speaker 7: that he's looking forward to his meeting with Trump, and
• 45:02
  Speaker 7: you see a sort of new diplomatic reign for the king,
• 45:07
  Speaker 7: the way that he might try and parlay some of
• 45:10
  Speaker 7: his mother's brilliance into his diplomacy coming up.
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: I think that's absolutely well said, that's correct. And meanwhile,
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: Primi sekey of starers in another world look completely of
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: absolute chaos finding for his political life of Samara. This
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: is dreadful. He appointed Labour spin doctor and spiv lord
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: Peter Mandilsson as Britain's ambassador of Washington, despite Mandilsson being
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: in close contact with convicted pedophile billionaire Jeffrey Epstein and
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: starmantold Parliament that we Mandlsson has past government security checks.
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: Now has had to go back to Parliament and say, well,
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: actually he had been lied to by the public service
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: head of the Foreign Service of the Foreign Office. Mandelsson
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: had actually failed a security check, and Parliament treated Starmer
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: like a liar or a fool when he said.
• 46:00
  Speaker 13: Listen, deliberate decision was taken to withhold that material. This
• 46:05
  Speaker 13: was not a lack of asking, This wasn't an oversight,
• 46:08
  Speaker 13: It was a decision.
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: It was a it was.
• 46:11
  Speaker 13: A decision taken not to share that information. I know
• 46:16
  Speaker 13: many members across the House will find these facts to
• 46:18
  Speaker 13: be incredible. To that, to that, to that, I can
• 46:31
  Speaker 13: only say they are right. It's beggars belief, Sarah.
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: As you could hear, most politicians there did not find
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: them credible and did find them very hard to believe.
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: His set of reasons. What's the story here, how much
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: trouble is he in?
• 46:50
  Speaker 7: Well, what beggars belief, Andrew is that he's still in
• 46:53
  Speaker 7: office at the moment and hasn't been completely removed. But
• 46:56
  Speaker 7: unfortunately we've got some elections coming up in the United
• 46:59
  Speaker 7: Kingdom on May the seventh, and that's the only reason
• 47:02
  Speaker 7: he's still in there, because the leadership is an absolute
• 47:05
  Speaker 7: poison chalice for the Labor Party. Look, the reason or
• 47:10
  Speaker 7: what's basically going on is that Starma is trying to
• 47:12
  Speaker 7: do is he's always been doing, passing the buck and
• 47:15
  Speaker 7: blaming others. We already had his top advisor be fired
• 47:20
  Speaker 7: over the Mandalson scandal.
• 47:21
  Speaker 5: Now he's trying to put this guy.
• 47:23
  Speaker 7: He's a civil servant in the Foreign Office, Sir Ollie Robbins,
• 47:26
  Speaker 7: who's also been forced out and is now going to
• 47:29
  Speaker 7: testify against Starmer today as we speak. So this could
• 47:34
  Speaker 7: be the end of days for the PM. But he
• 47:37
  Speaker 7: is like black Mold. He just continues to stick in
• 47:40
  Speaker 7: to his leadership position in the United Kingdom and doesn't
• 47:43
  Speaker 7: want to give it up. And I think Mandalsson is
• 47:46
  Speaker 7: going to be the sword that he falls on.
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: Ultimately, he said that the public servant who was fired
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: was giving evidence, is given it or some of it
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: here he is now.
• 48:00
  Speaker 14: Afraid what that translated into for my team in the
• 48:03
  Speaker 14: Foreign Office, and certainly the handover briefing I was getting
• 48:07
  Speaker 14: as I arrived at post was what I felt was
• 48:10
  Speaker 14: a generally dismissive attitude to his vetting clearance. The focus
• 48:15
  Speaker 14: was on getting Madelson out of Washington quickly.
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: Oh, this is getting terrible, terrible. Samara, thank you so
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: much for interrupting your royal tour to give us a
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: view of modern India. Looks beautiful. Talk to you next week.
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much, Thank you good idea. I appreciate
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: it made Sherry Maxon good Night
