- 0:01Speaker 1: Live on Sky News. This is Sharry.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Oh Andrew's sending love to you and your family. Very
- 0:10Speaker 2: sad day, Well, good evening everyone. At Massive Show tonight,
- 0:14Speaker 2: Peter Dutton and Chris Minns speak directly to you about
- 0:18Speaker 2: the wave of domestic terrorism rocking our streets. The shocking
- 0:22Speaker 2: firebombing of a childcare center has today terrified Australian parents.
- 0:29Speaker 2: New South Wales Premier Chris Mins on My Show Tonight,
- 0:32Speaker 2: announces tough new laws. He says these attacks begin with
- 0:38Speaker 2: words and the hate preachers and the pro Palestinian activists
- 0:43Speaker 2: won't be able to get away with hate speech against
- 0:46Speaker 2: Jews any longer. Mins expresses regret that he didn't take
- 0:51Speaker 2: this action, he didn't introduce these laws sooner.
- 0:54Speaker 1: That's coming up in a moment.
- 0:57Speaker 2: Also tonight, on the show, I speak exclusively with well
- 1:00Speaker 2: perhaps Australia's next Prime Minister, Peter Dutton. He talks about
- 1:05Speaker 2: Donald Trump's anti woke agenda and says that if he
- 1:09Speaker 2: were Prime Minister, he'd have a better relationship with the
- 1:13Speaker 2: President than Albanezi. He also slams the Prime Minister for
- 1:17Speaker 2: the escalating anti Semitic attacks our country is experiencing. Peter
- 1:23Speaker 2: Dutton's explosive interview coming up. But now let's start by
- 1:27Speaker 2: talking about Donald Trump's big moves on his first day
- 1:31Speaker 2: in office, from having only two genders to withdrawing from
- 1:35Speaker 2: the Paris Climate Accords, Trump gave a powerful, strong, and
- 1:40Speaker 2: inspirational speech. He told the American people that nothing was impossible.
- 1:46Speaker 3: Many people thought it was impossible for me to stage
- 1:50Speaker 3: such a historic political comeback. But as you see today
- 1:55Speaker 3: here I am the American people have spoken. I stand
- 2:01Speaker 3: before you now as proof that you should never believe
- 2:04Speaker 3: that something is impossible to do. In America. The impossible
- 2:08Speaker 3: is what we do best.
- 2:11Speaker 2: Trump has certainly faced major obstacles to get to this moment.
- 2:16Speaker 2: Multiple civil and criminal cases mounted against him, The media
- 2:20Speaker 2: and the judicial system came after him with everything they had.
- 2:25Speaker 2: Yet as he was sworn in as the forty seventh
- 2:27Speaker 2: president of the United States of America, there was no
- 2:31Speaker 2: doubting he prevailed over his enemies and critics. In an
- 2:35Speaker 2: emotional comment, Trump said he believed God had saved his
- 2:40Speaker 2: life after that near miss assassination attempt just a few.
- 2:45Speaker 3: Months ago in a beautiful Pennsylvania field and assassin's bullet
- 2:49Speaker 3: ripped through my ear but I felt then and believe
- 2:54Speaker 3: even more so now that my life was saved for
- 2:57Speaker 3: a reason. I was saved God to make America great again.
- 3:06Speaker 2: It was a day of major policy announcements, a changing
- 3:10Speaker 2: of the world order in Washington, out with the woke ideology,
- 3:14Speaker 2: and a new era of common sense with a priority
- 3:18Speaker 2: on national security.
- 3:20Speaker 1: Trump said that this election.
- 3:22Speaker 2: At least he believes, was the most consequential in the
- 3:26Speaker 2: history of the country now. In a controversial move, Trump
- 3:29Speaker 2: pardoned nearly all January sixth defendants.
- 3:33Speaker 1: That's one thy five hundred.
- 3:35Speaker 2: People who stormed the US capital. He will withdraw the
- 3:39Speaker 2: US from the Paris Climate Accord. He says America will
- 3:42Speaker 2: take back the Panama Canal. He declared that official policy
- 3:46Speaker 2: will recognize only two genders, a man and a woman.
- 3:50Speaker 1: He delayed a.
- 3:51Speaker 2: Ban for seventy five days on TikTok. He declared a
- 3:54Speaker 2: legal immigration at the Mexico border a national emergency. He
- 3:59Speaker 2: designate aided criminal cartels as terrorist organizations. He put a
- 4:04Speaker 2: freeze on government hiring and ordered all federal workers to
- 4:08Speaker 2: return to full time work in person. He also signed
- 4:12Speaker 2: an order banning government censorship.
- 4:16Speaker 3: After years and years of illegal and unconstitutional federal efforts
- 4:21Speaker 3: to restrict free expression. I will also sign an executive
- 4:25Speaker 3: order to immediately stop all government censorship and bring back
- 4:30Speaker 3: free speech to America. Never again will the immense power
- 4:51Speaker 3: of the state be weaponized to persecute political opponents. Something
- 4:56Speaker 3: I know something about not allow that to happen. It
- 5:01Speaker 3: will not happen again under my leadership.
- 5:06Speaker 2: The President also pledged to write the injustices relating to
- 5:10Speaker 2: the COVID pandemic.
- 5:12Speaker 3: This week. I will reinstate any service members who were
- 5:16Speaker 3: unjustly expelled from our military for objecting to the COVID
- 5:19Speaker 3: vaccine mandate with full back pain.
- 5:25Speaker 1: Now.
- 5:25Speaker 2: At one point, Trump stood beside Noah Agamani, who was
- 5:29Speaker 2: held hostage in Gaza. He also had there with him
- 5:33Speaker 2: other hostages and family members, and this was a clear
- 5:37Speaker 2: symbol of Trump's solidarity with Israel. He also said, and
- 5:41Speaker 2: another topic that traveling to Mars, this is a long
- 5:45Speaker 2: held goal of Elon Musks, was now back on the
- 5:48Speaker 2: official agenda, and.
- 5:50Speaker 3: We will pursue our manifest Destiny into the Stars, launching
- 5:53Speaker 3: American astronauts to plant the stars and stripes on the
- 5:58Speaker 3: planet mars Es.
- 6:01Speaker 2: Trump also revoked nearly eighty orders from the Biden administration
- 6:06Speaker 2: that he said were radical and destructive, and he said
- 6:10Speaker 2: America had been in decline from an establishment that extracted
- 6:14Speaker 2: power and wealth from our citizens, while pillars of society
- 6:19Speaker 2: lay broken and incomplete disrepair. The new president accused his predecessor,
- 6:24Speaker 2: Joe Biden, of weakness and treachery, and claimed he prioritized
- 6:29Speaker 2: the rights of illegal criminal aliens and wasted money defending
- 6:34Speaker 2: foreign borders instead of America's own.
- 6:37Speaker 1: And Trump didn't hold back when.
- 6:39Speaker 2: He spoke about how he thought Biden had missed lad America.
- 6:44Speaker 4: Did you know that Biden, while I was making my speech,
- 6:47Speaker 4: pardoned his whole family, the brother.
- 6:56Speaker 5: The whole deal was bardon.
- 7:00Speaker 4: Can you imagine that.
- 7:02Speaker 2: As he just said there in the dying hour of
- 7:05Speaker 2: his administration, Biden pardoned his own family members for any
- 7:10Speaker 2: crimes they may have committed since twenty fourteen. He also
- 7:15Speaker 2: pardoned outrageously Anthony Fauci. I've written and spoken an enormous
- 7:20Speaker 2: amount about Anthony Fauci's role in the COVID nineteen pandemic.
- 7:25Speaker 2: The crux of the matter is he privately knew American
- 7:29Speaker 2: funding may have created the coronavirus, finding that happened under
- 7:34Speaker 2: his watch and in spite of an official ban.
- 7:38Speaker 1: He knew this right from the start.
- 7:40Speaker 2: We have the emails, Yet publicly Fauci claimed a laboratory
- 7:45Speaker 2: leak was a conspiracy theory, and he took every effort
- 7:49Speaker 2: to silence scientists and journalists and make sure they didn't
- 7:54Speaker 2: pursue this matter. And now Biden has pardoned him ahead
- 7:59Speaker 2: of any official invests mistigations that are sure to take
- 8:02Speaker 2: place during the Trump administration.
- 8:05Speaker 1: This is corruption, This is disgraceful.
- 8:09Speaker 2: Now there's much to be hopeful about under the Trump administration.
- 8:13Speaker 2: We should see a return to America occupying the role
- 8:17Speaker 2: of a leader of the free world. It's a space
- 8:20Speaker 2: that the US has abandoned under Joe Biden. There should
- 8:24Speaker 2: also be a return to peace through strength.
- 8:27Speaker 1: Trump has a clear eyed.
- 8:28Speaker 2: View on terrorism, on who the enemies are and who
- 8:33Speaker 2: is fighting for the right of all of us to
- 8:35Speaker 2: live in peace, free from violence and intimidation. Trump steps
- 8:41Speaker 2: into this role when Israel has been single handedly fighting
- 8:45Speaker 2: terrorism for more than fifteen long months. Benjaminette and Yah,
- 8:51Speaker 2: who has led this fight, this war with one arm
- 8:55Speaker 2: tied behind his back as Biden worked against him, depriving
- 8:59Speaker 2: him of the necessary military support and urging him at
- 9:02Speaker 2: every step of the way to stop fighting.
- 9:05Speaker 1: The terrorists have a ceasefire.
- 9:07Speaker 2: Don't kill in ISRAELA, leave Hesbella alone, Go lightly on Tehran.
- 9:12Speaker 2: This isn't the attitude needed when bloodthirsty terrorists kidnap two
- 9:18Speaker 2: hundred and fifty innocent people, including a baby, and.
- 9:22Speaker 1: Murder thousands more.
- 9:24Speaker 2: Trump knows what's right and wrong, and hopefully in time
- 9:28Speaker 2: he'll take on the ultimate culprit and financial backer of much.
- 9:33Speaker 1: Of this terror, Iran.
- 9:36Speaker 2: This global international leadership on this and other areas is
- 9:40Speaker 2: desperately needed. Anthony Albinizi and Penny Wong. And Pennywong attended
- 9:45Speaker 2: the inauguration. They don't see eye to eye with Trump.
- 9:50Speaker 2: The Australian Labor Government's values and policy ideals are fundamentally
- 9:55Speaker 2: different from that of the Trump administration, not just on Israel,
- 10:00Speaker 2: but on China, on national security, on climate change, on
- 10:04Speaker 2: gender and diversity. It seems the age of Woke is
- 10:09Speaker 2: finally coming to an end and we can only hope
- 10:13Speaker 2: this movement sweeping the globe would be replicated in Australia too.
- 10:23Speaker 2: Now we're seeing a wave of domestic terrorism unfold in
- 10:28Speaker 2: Sydney and Melbourne, with synagogues, homes, cars and restaurants vandalized, torched,
- 10:37Speaker 2: satellite fire bombed and attacked. This took an even more
- 10:42Speaker 2: dangerous and frightening turn this morning with the overnight firebombing
- 10:47Speaker 2: of a childcare center in Maroubra in Sydney's East. Let
- 10:52Speaker 2: me say that again, a childcare center. The daycare center
- 10:58Speaker 2: was torched just before one am, with vandalism and anti
- 11:03Speaker 2: Semitic slurs on the building. Now, this is a new
- 11:08Speaker 2: level of cruelty, targeting a place where children play. It's
- 11:13Speaker 2: only meters from a synagogue and there was significant damage.
- 11:18Speaker 2: The attack finally forced the hand of the Prime Minister,
- 11:23Speaker 2: but the antisemitism genie is well and truly out.
- 11:25Speaker 1: Of the bottle now.
- 11:27Speaker 2: Albanezey said today that he'd hold a national cabinet and
- 11:30Speaker 2: anti Semitism. He said that kind of in passing this
- 11:33Speaker 2: morning and then he held it this afternoon. It was
- 11:37Speaker 2: a knee jerk reaction rather than giving the premiers proper
- 11:41Speaker 2: time to consider and put forward thoughtful submissions. Unlike Albanezi,
- 11:48Speaker 2: New South Wales Premier Chris Mins cares deeply about this hatred.
- 11:54Speaker 2: When I went to see him today, he said he
- 11:56Speaker 2: felt terrible this was all happening under his watch. The
- 12:00Speaker 2: personal comment to me, I said to him in the interview,
- 12:04Speaker 2: what about the hate preachers who are given the green
- 12:06Speaker 2: light to make derogatory and racist remarks against Australian Jews.
- 12:11Speaker 2: What about the pro Palestinian activists who get away with
- 12:14Speaker 2: racist chance calling for not just the death, the massacre
- 12:18Speaker 2: of Jews in Arabic and in English. Well, Chris Mins,
- 12:23Speaker 2: he cares, and he is now pledging new laws to
- 12:25Speaker 2: deal with all of this. He announces them for the
- 12:28Speaker 2: first time on my show Now have a Look, Premier.
- 12:33Speaker 2: Thank you so much for your time today. I wish
- 12:35Speaker 2: I didn't have to interview you on this topic. What's
- 12:38Speaker 2: your reaction to this attack on a childcare center overnight?
- 12:42Speaker 5: Yeah, it's good to see you too, Sharry. I'm sorry
- 12:44Speaker 5: it's under these circumstances. I mean, I'm horrified by it.
- 12:47Speaker 6: I think it's my worst fears and many people in
- 12:49Speaker 6: the community's absolute worst fears to see barbaric acts from
- 12:54Speaker 6: complete animals. I mean, I don't want to put too
- 12:57Speaker 6: fine a point on it. Complete bastards that would burn
- 12:59Speaker 6: down on a childcare center because it's linked to the
- 13:04Speaker 6: back fences linked to a synagogue in Eastern Sydney and Maruba.
- 13:08Speaker 6: I'm completely horrified by it. I think it's antithetical to
- 13:11Speaker 6: everything that's been built up in Australia and I can
- 13:14Speaker 6: completely understand why the Jewish community in New South Wales
- 13:17Speaker 6: feels under siege. These attacks are are continuing and I'm
- 13:22Speaker 6: devastated by it.
- 13:23Speaker 5: But the resilience of both.
- 13:24Speaker 6: The community and the government is unbowed and we will
- 13:27Speaker 6: catch the people who are responsible for it.
- 13:30Speaker 2: The attacks do seem to be escalating twenty twenty five.
- 13:34Speaker 1: Same old story.
- 13:35Speaker 2: Do you wake up every morning like we do and
- 13:38Speaker 2: you just a horrified to think of what's happened overnight?
- 13:42Speaker 6: They are escalating and I think it's important I say that.
- 13:45Speaker 6: I don't want anyone to have the impression that we're
- 13:47Speaker 6: trying to sweep this under the carpet or suggest that.
- 13:49Speaker 5: It's not a major issue.
- 13:51Speaker 6: This is the central priority of the government at the
- 13:54Speaker 6: moment and New South Wales Police we are horrified by
- 13:57Speaker 6: it and the escalating nature of the violence these hate
- 14:00Speaker 6: crimes could see. I mean, I don't want to speculate
- 14:04Speaker 6: on a terrible crime, but obviously that's what we're concerned about,
- 14:07Speaker 6: so I mean, we watch it very closely. My wife
- 14:09Speaker 6: said to me this morning as I got up for
- 14:12Speaker 6: work and the reports came through of another fire, that
- 14:14Speaker 6: it was heartbreaking for the city. We're all devastated by it,
- 14:18Speaker 6: and I hope that the Jewish community in particular knows
- 14:20Speaker 6: that the vast majority of people that live in New
- 14:22Speaker 6: South Wales are with them in solidarity against this horrific crime. Yeah.
- 14:26Speaker 1: I think that's right. That's the perception I have as well.
- 14:29Speaker 2: You know, we just both spoke about how they are
- 14:32Speaker 2: escalating in frequency and severity.
- 14:35Speaker 1: Are you concerned or do you agree with.
- 14:38Speaker 2: Figures like Alex Ripchen and also David Ossip who are
- 14:42Speaker 2: worried that this could lead to a loss of life.
- 14:46Speaker 6: Look, I am worried about it. I think we should
- 14:48Speaker 6: should have some candy here. But I do want to
- 14:51Speaker 6: say that the New South Wales police and the government
- 14:55Speaker 6: are committed to putting the resources in place to conducting
- 14:59Speaker 6: a full in investigation and that is yielding results as
- 15:03Speaker 6: we speak, and I can promise the community in New
- 15:05Speaker 6: South Wales that this is a major police operation twenty
- 15:08Speaker 6: detectives are working full time in Stripeforce PERL.
- 15:12Speaker 5: That will be the auxiliary.
- 15:14Speaker 6: Will be increased in the coming days, and that Stripeforce
- 15:17Speaker 6: will be increased. So is that we can have the
- 15:20Speaker 6: resources in place to fully investigate these crimes. But look,
- 15:24Speaker 6: I am concerned about it. As I said, I don't
- 15:26Speaker 6: want to downplay it. This is a major, major issue.
- 15:28Speaker 2: We've seen the Prime Minister finally and relatedly call a
- 15:32Speaker 2: national Cabinet on anti Semitism. What issues do you think
- 15:37Speaker 2: need to be put on the table and discussed.
- 15:40Speaker 6: Well, Look, one of the advantages of the Federation is
- 15:42Speaker 6: that you can learn from other states, and WA in
- 15:44Speaker 6: particular has very strong anti hate speech laws. Now, I
- 15:50Speaker 6: regret we looked at these laws last year, changing them,
- 15:53Speaker 6: strengthening them, ensuring that it didn't require private prosecution from
- 15:57Speaker 6: concerned citizens, but rather the state making responsibility for someone
- 16:01Speaker 6: who's trying to sow hate.
- 16:03Speaker 5: And division in our community.
- 16:04Speaker 6: I regret we didn't change the laws then, but I've
- 16:06Speaker 6: learned our lesson. We are looking at other jurisdictions we
- 16:09Speaker 6: want to introduce those laws. And the reason for it, Jari,
- 16:12Speaker 6: is really straightforward, and that is I don't think that
- 16:15Speaker 6: these anti Semitic attacks begin with someone committing a violent
- 16:19Speaker 6: offense I think they commit. I think they begin with words,
- 16:22Speaker 6: in particular racist words and vitriolic words that then sparks
- 16:26Speaker 6: something in a bad actor who goes and commits a
- 16:29Speaker 6: terrible offense. So we want to nip it in the
- 16:31Speaker 6: bud at the beginning.
- 16:32Speaker 5: We'll do that with law.
- 16:33Speaker 2: And we're seeing this sort of language both by hate
- 16:36Speaker 2: preachers but also pro Palestinian marches on the streets where
- 16:40Speaker 2: we see language that actually calls for a massacre against Jews.
- 16:45Speaker 2: It's in Arabic these chants. Do you think that needs
- 16:48Speaker 2: to be dealt with it and put a stop to look.
- 16:51Speaker 6: Absolutely, any any call to violence in our community on
- 16:55Speaker 6: the basis of division and hatred needs to be confronted.
- 16:58Speaker 5: By civic society South Wales.
- 17:01Speaker 6: I mean, I've said this many times, but we don't
- 17:03Speaker 6: have the same free speech laws that they have in
- 17:05Speaker 6: the United States. They're far stronger, they're tougher, and I
- 17:08Speaker 6: don't make any I don't make any excuses for that.
- 17:11Speaker 6: I think the reason is because we live in a
- 17:13Speaker 6: multi cultural community. We except people from around the world
- 17:17Speaker 6: regardless of their faith. But if you come to our country.
- 17:20Speaker 6: Then there are rights and there are responsibilities, and the
- 17:22Speaker 6: responsibility to respect your fellow Australian is paramount. And if
- 17:27Speaker 6: we need laws in place to make that point even
- 17:30Speaker 6: more self evident, that's exactly what we'll do.
- 17:32Speaker 2: It feels like there has been a green light given
- 17:35Speaker 2: to the hate speech from some of these hate preachers.
- 17:39Speaker 1: Do you think that's been the case?
- 17:40Speaker 6: Look, I hope not, and I think it's incumbent upon
- 17:44Speaker 6: political leaders civic leaders to say that it's never justifiable.
- 17:47Speaker 2: I mean, there's been no laws used against any of
- 17:50Speaker 2: the hate preachers who are speaking an extremely offensive language
- 17:55Speaker 2: about Jews.
- 17:55Speaker 6: Though. Look, the point here, Shahi is that it shouldn't
- 17:58Speaker 6: be politicians that pick a prosecution or a private individual.
- 18:02Speaker 5: It should be the state.
- 18:04Speaker 6: And since similar laws have been in place in Western Australia,
- 18:07Speaker 6: there's been fifty two prosecutions against individuals who weren't taking
- 18:13Speaker 6: the extra step of promoting violence, but were in fact
- 18:17Speaker 6: promoting hate towards someone's race. And I think we can
- 18:21Speaker 6: have similar laws here in New South Wales. So is
- 18:24Speaker 6: that we can stop it before it happens now? I
- 18:26Speaker 6: can't promise, No political leader can promise, and then to
- 18:29Speaker 6: sit an end sorry to anti Semitic attacks. Unfortunately, there's
- 18:34Speaker 6: some terrible, terrible people in our community. But what I
- 18:36Speaker 6: can do is say that we will put all of
- 18:39Speaker 6: our resources as well as changes to the law to
- 18:42Speaker 6: keep the community safe, so that you're.
- 18:43Speaker 2: Just announcing this now that you're going to look at
- 18:45Speaker 2: this tough new laws on hate spitch.
- 18:47Speaker 6: That as well as changes to protest laws out the
- 18:51Speaker 6: front of religious institutions. I don't think it's reasonable if
- 18:55Speaker 6: we are serious about freedom of religion and freedom of association,
- 19:00Speaker 6: to have somebody villify it for going into or example,
- 19:04Speaker 6: the Great Synagogue in the middle of Sydney.
- 19:07Speaker 5: Because of their religion.
- 19:08Speaker 6: They should be free to do that, free from intimidation,
- 19:12Speaker 6: free from hatred. So I've made a decision to introduce
- 19:15Speaker 6: legislation to put a zone around all religious institutions so
- 19:20Speaker 6: that people who practice their religion can do it in peace.
- 19:23Speaker 2: Those laws will certainly be welcome and let's hope they
- 19:26Speaker 2: make a difference. Look, Peter Dutan says there needs to
- 19:30Speaker 2: be mandatory minimum sentences for anti Semitic and terror offenses.
- 19:35Speaker 1: Do you think this is.
- 19:35Speaker 2: Something that should be put on the table at the
- 19:37Speaker 2: National cabinet. Do you agree this would be a strong
- 19:40Speaker 2: deterrent as well well.
- 19:41Speaker 6: I think tough sentences need to be part of the
- 19:45Speaker 6: deterrent here, and I think that when I've spoken to
- 19:48Speaker 6: members of the Jewish community, they've made it incredibly clear
- 19:51Speaker 6: to me that they're concerned that.
- 19:52Speaker 5: A soft touch approach has led.
- 19:55Speaker 6: To an emboldenment when it comes to attacks in our community.
- 20:00Speaker 6: Now that can't stand. These are serious offenses. Those who've
- 20:04Speaker 6: been charged or arrested with these serious offenses face years
- 20:07Speaker 6: in jail if they're convicted, But mandatory minimum sentences are
- 20:11Speaker 6: restricted to a very small number of offenses in New
- 20:14Speaker 6: South Wales. The one that comes to mind is the
- 20:16Speaker 6: murder of a police officer, but terrorism offenses, rape offenses,
- 20:20Speaker 6: sexual assault offenses, pedophile offenses, those that are convicted of
- 20:24Speaker 6: those chargers face long periods in time, but they're not
- 20:27Speaker 6: mandatory minimum sentences. I think my responsibility is to ensure
- 20:31Speaker 6: that the police have got resources to affect arrests and
- 20:34Speaker 6: when individuals are put.
- 20:35Speaker 5: Before the courts, that the full force.
- 20:37Speaker 6: Of the law is applied to them, and I think
- 20:38Speaker 6: we can do that under the existing regime. Although I
- 20:41Speaker 6: want to make it clear if we need to put
- 20:44Speaker 6: in as aggravating factors at sentencing the targeting of anyone,
- 20:49Speaker 6: but at the moment we're talking about the Jewish community,
- 20:51Speaker 6: that's what we'll do. And secondly, we'll look at offenses
- 20:55Speaker 6: that drive this kind of behavior, like, for example, hate
- 20:58Speaker 6: speech laws.
- 21:00Speaker 2: You said before that you regret not strengthening your hate
- 21:03Speaker 2: speech laws last year.
- 21:05Speaker 1: Many of us look back to the Opera House.
- 21:07Speaker 2: Protests and similar protests around that time as the starting point,
- 21:13Speaker 2: and the fact that the federal government, from the Prime
- 21:16Speaker 2: Minister down didn't seem to take this issue seriously. They
- 21:20Speaker 2: couldn't speak about anti Semitism without also speaking about Islamophobia.
- 21:24Speaker 2: November twenty twenty three, Peter dutt And asked the Prime
- 21:27Speaker 2: Minister to convene a national cabinet that's only happening now
- 21:31Speaker 2: on this issue in twenty twenty five. Do you understand
- 21:35Speaker 2: the extreme frustration and anger the Jewish community feels towards
- 21:40Speaker 2: the federal government for not taking this issue seriously enough?
- 21:44Speaker 2: An how we're in a situation where today a childcare.
- 21:47Speaker 1: Center has been Firebond.
- 21:50Speaker 6: Well, look, I can't speak on behalf of the Jewish
- 21:52Speaker 6: community in New South Wales but what I can say
- 21:54Speaker 6: is that we work very closely with the Prime Minister,
- 21:57Speaker 6: and not just at that level, but between state agencies
- 21:59Speaker 6: and the Commonwealth agencies, whether they're security agencies, the Federal Police,
- 22:03Speaker 6: the New South Wales Police, and where laws need to
- 22:06Speaker 6: be changed, that's exactly.
- 22:07Speaker 5: What we'll do.
- 22:08Speaker 6: And I want the community to know that that cooperation
- 22:11Speaker 6: is essential in combating this kind of outright and clearly
- 22:17Speaker 6: escalating anti Semitic acts in our community. But they won't
- 22:21Speaker 6: stop there. So look, I can't speak on behalf of
- 22:23Speaker 6: the Jewish community in New.
- 22:24Speaker 2: South I'm telling you that there's a lot of anger
- 22:26Speaker 2: towards the federal government, but you would know that.
- 22:29Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 22:29Speaker 6: Look, all I can do is focus on my responsibility
- 22:33Speaker 6: as the Premier of New South Wales and I just
- 22:34Speaker 6: want to say a couple of things. We will work
- 22:36Speaker 6: with Anthony Albanesi's government to keep the community safe and
- 22:39Speaker 6: we've done that. And secondly, I can understand that the
- 22:42Speaker 6: Jewish community in New South Wales is feeling, perhaps perhaps
- 22:46Speaker 6: for the first time, a deep, deep worry and concern
- 22:50Speaker 6: about their personal safety and security, or even their families'
- 22:54Speaker 6: personal safety and security. I mean Alex's former house was targeted,
- 22:59Speaker 6: I believe in a targeted attack. I spoke to him
- 23:02Speaker 6: not long after it was revealed in the media, and
- 23:06Speaker 6: can I tell you that the kind of strength, the
- 23:09Speaker 6: clarity and the fact that he refused to be cowed
- 23:12Speaker 6: by that attack is truly inspiring. And I think that
- 23:15Speaker 6: that kind of sense in the Jewish community is pervasive.
- 23:18Speaker 6: I've got no doubt that that community will not be bowed,
- 23:22Speaker 6: notwithstanding the real threat that it faces. And I'd like
- 23:25Speaker 6: them to know that the vast majority of Australians are
- 23:28Speaker 6: on their side. They regard these attacks as completely antithetical
- 23:32Speaker 6: to what it means to be Australian and we are
- 23:34Speaker 6: with the Jewish community today and every day. New South
- 23:37Speaker 6: Wales police will not stop until they arrest the people
- 23:40Speaker 6: who are responsible for it.
- 23:42Speaker 2: Really appreciate and we're grateful for your support and thank
- 23:45Speaker 2: you very much for your time.
- 23:46Speaker 5: Now, Premier, thank Charry.
- 23:49Speaker 2: So that's New South I was Premier Chris Men's announcing
- 23:52Speaker 2: new anti hate speech.
- 23:54Speaker 1: Laws desperately needed.
- 23:55Speaker 2: These laws will apply to anyone, including hate preachers or
- 23:59Speaker 2: pro palest In activists who sow division and.
- 24:02Speaker 1: Sprout racist vitriol.
- 24:04Speaker 2: As the Premiere quite rightly says, violent attacks begin with words,
- 24:09Speaker 2: so he is taking action there. Look his comment at
- 24:11Speaker 2: the end about the resilience of our Jewish Australian community.
- 24:15Speaker 2: It's true, but we shouldn't have to live in fear
- 24:20Speaker 2: this terrorism.
- 24:22Speaker 1: These every couple of days.
- 24:25Speaker 2: Now it's not even weekly, it's a couple of times
- 24:27Speaker 2: a week. These attacks shouldn't be happening, you know, you
- 24:30Speaker 2: just think it wasn't that long ago. A couple of
- 24:32Speaker 2: years ago, there was no anti Semitism on the streets.
- 24:36Speaker 2: This wasn't happening. I can't believe this is the life
- 24:39Speaker 2: we're now living. And I hope the strong police action
- 24:43Speaker 2: works soon and that we do put an end to
- 24:45Speaker 2: this and manage to move past it. All right, My
- 24:48Speaker 2: interview with Peter Dutton still coming up on the show.
- 24:51Speaker 2: He talks about Donald Trump, the end of woke, and
- 24:54Speaker 2: the childcare fire bombing as well. But now let's cross
- 24:57Speaker 2: live to Washington for more on this historic Trump inauguration.
- 25:02Speaker 2: Sky News correspondent Analie Nielsen joins me. Now, Annalise, what
- 25:06Speaker 2: a massive day. Can you talk us through some of
- 25:09Speaker 2: the main executive orders that Trump signed on his first
- 25:13Speaker 2: day in office?
- 25:16Speaker 7: Well, he went straight for it, and why wouldn't you
- 25:20Speaker 7: sign as many influential executive orders as you can now,
- 25:23Speaker 7: because this is the moment when he has the most goodwill,
- 25:26Speaker 7: the biggest mandate coming in, having won the popular and
- 25:29Speaker 7: the electoral College vote, and really so much support, especially
- 25:33Speaker 7: from the business community. It was notable that he had
- 25:35Speaker 7: all those tech executives front and center for his swearing in.
- 25:39Speaker 7: So he signed in an executive order taking the US
- 25:43Speaker 7: out of the Paris Climate Accord. He's signed an executive
- 25:47Speaker 7: order declaring that there are two genders. Now, this seems
- 25:51Speaker 7: like it might just be something that his critics would
- 25:54Speaker 7: call virtue signaling, but there are practical ramifications of that
- 25:57Speaker 7: for especially federal government employees and how they go to work,
- 26:02Speaker 7: and it can go down to things like on government forms,
- 26:06Speaker 7: drop down bars having two gender options. There's also going
- 26:09Speaker 7: to be restrictions on how people interact in the military
- 26:13Speaker 7: if they identify as trends, and there are additional executive
- 26:18Speaker 7: orders on that. He's implemented in an executive order to
- 26:23Speaker 7: extend TikTok's lifespan to stave off that coming to a
- 26:28Speaker 7: head while he's in his first few days. But that
- 26:32Speaker 7: will have to have some kind of agreement to either
- 26:34Speaker 7: have American ownership divestiture or it will still be shut
- 26:38Speaker 7: down as per the congressional rules. And he's implemented another
- 26:44Speaker 7: executive order that's going to make a big difference here
- 26:46Speaker 7: in Washington, DC. He's mandating that everyone has to go
- 26:49Speaker 7: back to work, no more teleworking, and that's going to
- 26:51Speaker 7: be a big impetus for his Department of Government Efficiency,
- 26:56Speaker 7: which was supposed to be Elon Musk and for Vek Ramaswamy.
- 26:59Speaker 7: They announced yesterday for Vex standing down from that one.
- 27:02Speaker 7: And it seems like he'll be running for governor of Ohio,
- 27:05Speaker 7: but that hasn't been confirmed yet.
- 27:08Speaker 2: Looking at Joe Biden in his exit, he sparked outrage
- 27:12Speaker 2: with his last minute pardons, both of his family and
- 27:16Speaker 2: about Anthony Fauci and others.
- 27:18Speaker 1: Annalise, Yes, this was unexpected.
- 27:24Speaker 7: He's already racked up the most executive pardons of any president,
- 27:29Speaker 7: and I think he was anticipating Donald Trump coming in
- 27:31Speaker 7: and trumping that number anyway. But what he did in
- 27:35Speaker 7: the last few moments was extraordinary in not only giving
- 27:38Speaker 7: his own relatives his siblings a preemptive pardon, as there
- 27:41Speaker 7: was a probe into his brother using influence peddling to
- 27:45Speaker 7: make money. He's also given preemptive pardons to Anthony Fauci,
- 27:50Speaker 7: the COVID czar from the Donald Trump years. He gave
- 27:55Speaker 7: a preemptive pardon to General Millie, who is so instrumental
- 27:59Speaker 7: and disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. And in doing this, what
- 28:03Speaker 7: he's actually really set them up.
- 28:05Speaker 1: For is further.
- 28:08Speaker 7: Investigation from Congress, because when you have these presidential pardons,
- 28:13Speaker 7: it is a power of the president to say you
- 28:17Speaker 7: won't be pursued personally.
- 28:18Speaker 1: But what that means is if.
- 28:20Speaker 7: You accept it as they have, you can no longer
- 28:22Speaker 7: claim the Fifth Amendment right to not testify in your
- 28:26Speaker 7: own defense because the premise is that you can no
- 28:30Speaker 7: longer be prosecuted, so you don't need that protection. So
- 28:34Speaker 7: I would expect Republicans to make full use of that,
- 28:36Speaker 7: and we should be having some very confrontational hearings on
- 28:39Speaker 7: the matter. They'll still be one to investigate what went
- 28:41Speaker 7: wrong after those big policy Yeah.
- 28:45Speaker 2: Absolutely, and look the world deserves to know, you know,
- 28:49Speaker 2: no more hiding and political protection anymore. Annalie Nilsen, thank
- 28:53Speaker 2: you so much for your coverage, not just now but
- 28:55Speaker 2: throughout the day.
- 28:56Speaker 1: Appreciate your time. Now still to come.
- 28:59Speaker 2: Well we're already we know Albanese's judgment is bad. But
- 29:02Speaker 2: wait till you hear who's who he's decided to send
- 29:05Speaker 2: to represent Australia at the eightieth Commemoration of the Liberation
- 29:09Speaker 2: of Aschwitz.
- 29:10Speaker 1: It is astounding.
- 29:11Speaker 2: I'll talk about that with Bronwyn Bishop and Holly Hughes next,
- 29:14Speaker 2: plus my exclusive interview with Peter Dutton coming up. We
- 29:18Speaker 2: discuss Albanese's stunning backflip on the National Cabinet meeting and
- 29:23Speaker 2: Trump's return to power. Peter Dutton predicts the age of
- 29:27Speaker 2: woke is over. That interview coming up, Welcome back, Well,
- 29:34Speaker 2: lots more analysis to come. I'm going to ask my
- 29:36Speaker 2: panel in a minute if they agree with Trump's executive
- 29:39Speaker 2: order to return to two genders. But first I want
- 29:43Speaker 2: to tell you about what the Albaneze government has done.
- 29:46Speaker 2: They plan to send Senator Sue Lines to represent Australia
- 29:50Speaker 2: at the event commemorating the eightieth Liberation of Auschwitz that's
- 29:54Speaker 2: early next week. This is despite her hostile anti Israel history. Now,
- 30:00Speaker 2: former Treasurer Josh Friedenberg came out publicly he said to
- 30:04Speaker 2: the PM, reconsider this decision. It's a serious error of judgment.
- 30:09Speaker 2: He said, you're sending the wrong message with the wrong messenger.
- 30:13Speaker 2: Now Albanezi was embarrassed and he scrambled. He dumped Sue
- 30:17Speaker 2: Lines as the head of the delegation she might still
- 30:20Speaker 2: be going, and he replaced her with Penny.
- 30:25Speaker 1: Wong Mark Drefus as well.
- 30:28Speaker 2: So he's sending the most anti Israel foreign minister, who's
- 30:33Speaker 2: been pretty weak on anti Semitism, to Auschwitz where a
- 30:37Speaker 2: million Jews were murdered. Prime Minister couldn't have worse judgment.
- 30:42Speaker 2: Let's bring in now former Speaker of the House Bronwin
- 30:44Speaker 2: Bishop and Liberal Senator Holly Hughes Browin.
- 30:47Speaker 1: What do you think of this?
- 30:49Speaker 8: The man is so imbued with these anti Israel policies
- 30:53Speaker 8: that he has no sense at all what he's doing.
- 30:56Speaker 8: The man is a fool, and to insult the memory
- 31:03Speaker 8: of those people who are murdered in that way is atrocious.
- 31:07Speaker 8: And I just saw that Sir Frank Lowie is going,
- 31:12Speaker 8: and I remember seeing an image of Sir Frank Philly
- 31:15Speaker 8: recently looking at it again when he was looking at
- 31:18Speaker 8: a carriage which his parents were taken to us with
- 31:24Speaker 8: Alberanezi has got to be got out of public life
- 31:28Speaker 8: in this country. To send Penny Wong as a replacement
- 31:31Speaker 8: for the Lions woman who should not be going at all,
- 31:35Speaker 8: is just insanity, Holly.
- 31:38Speaker 9: I mean, soe Lyons has completely I don't know her
- 31:44Speaker 9: from the Senate and she doesn't cover herself in glory
- 31:47Speaker 9: particularly well there either. But she is well known as
- 31:52Speaker 9: being of the rabbit left within the Labor Party. She
- 31:54Speaker 9: is incredibly anti Israel, very pro Palestine, one of the
- 31:59Speaker 9: ones out they're supporting anra looking, you know, just absolutely
- 32:04Speaker 9: the wrong person. And if they had to send one
- 32:07Speaker 9: of the officials, so the Speaker or the President, Milton Dick,
- 32:11Speaker 9: who Speaker of the House of Representatives is a really
- 32:13Speaker 9: strong supporter of Israel, he would have been a much
- 32:17Speaker 9: better choice if they had to send one of the
- 32:20Speaker 9: presiding officers to go, because I know Scott Ryan went
- 32:23Speaker 9: ten years ago for the seventieth anniversaries, so.
- 32:26Speaker 2: Maybe the Prime Minister could have gone himself. Given King
- 32:29Speaker 2: Charles is going, you'd think that King Charles can take
- 32:32Speaker 2: the time to go.
- 32:33Speaker 9: And we know Airbus Albo loves a trip, so here's
- 32:36Speaker 9: another opportunity for him to.
- 32:37Speaker 1: Go and he might learn something.
- 32:39Speaker 2: We might learn something about anti Semitism and react to
- 32:43Speaker 2: all of this differently.
- 32:44Speaker 4: No, it's not.
- 32:46Speaker 8: He's been imbued with it since he was a university.
- 32:50Speaker 2: All right, let's return to Trump's inauguration, and I want
- 32:52Speaker 2: to ask you both about some of his most bold
- 32:56Speaker 2: executive orders. He's withdrawn from the Paris Timate. A. Cords said,
- 33:02Speaker 2: there will only be two genders, a man and a woman.
- 33:05Speaker 1: Run when you know too much of us.
- 33:08Speaker 2: To many of us, it's kind of a relief to
- 33:11Speaker 2: hear someone speak in such a rational way.
- 33:15Speaker 1: You know, who needs many, many, many genders.
- 33:18Speaker 8: When we don't. And now he's settled it. But the
- 33:21Speaker 8: most important thing for me was withdrawing from the Paris Accord.
- 33:25Speaker 1: The whole question of energy.
- 33:27Speaker 8: He made a statement literally today that he was going
- 33:30Speaker 8: to use all the energy resources available in America to
- 33:34Speaker 8: make America rich and powerful, and we are denying ourselves
- 33:38Speaker 8: the ability to do that. You cannot be a rich,
- 33:41Speaker 8: powerful nation in this world today without cheap energy and
- 33:47Speaker 8: lots of it, because more and more development like AI
- 33:52Speaker 8: is going to take more and more energy to create
- 33:56Speaker 8: those data centers. So we have in that bumbling Bowen
- 34:02Speaker 8: person is just a fool of a man. Yet another
- 34:06Speaker 8: one of his plans to have offshore when mills has
- 34:09Speaker 8: fallen over. Thank goodness, but it is just so simple
- 34:15Speaker 8: that we have been indowbt with such treasures.
- 34:19Speaker 1: Of gas, of coal.
- 34:22Speaker 8: We've still got oil we don't look for anymore, and nuclear.
- 34:26Speaker 8: So we have the opportunity to give us back what
- 34:29Speaker 8: used to be our only competitive advantage, which was cheap electricity,
- 34:34Speaker 8: because we had a high wage structure, a high unionized
- 34:38Speaker 8: workforce at the time. And what this government has done
- 34:42Speaker 8: is decimate those advantages for us. So, thank goodness, Trump
- 34:47Speaker 8: has done it, and it will it will come down
- 34:49Speaker 8: here because it will affect world investment.
- 34:52Speaker 2: I think one of the great things, Holly, is that
- 34:54Speaker 2: often politicians are looking ahead to their next term or
- 34:57Speaker 2: the next job.
- 34:58Speaker 1: Trump is run again. This is it.
- 35:01Speaker 2: So he's got a strong mandate, he's got control of
- 35:04Speaker 2: the House of the Senate, so he's just doing whatever
- 35:06Speaker 2: he wants.
- 35:07Speaker 9: And you think how exciting today was. Like you had
- 35:09Speaker 9: the inauguration itself, the ceremonial part, but then the fact
- 35:12Speaker 9: that he just started signing executive orders, you know, changing
- 35:15Speaker 9: the name of the Gulf of Mexico. I mean, you know,
- 35:19Speaker 9: I don't even know if we have that power in
- 35:20Speaker 9: Australia to just go and do these things. It's quite extraordinary.
- 35:25Speaker 9: So what is ahead for the next four years. I
- 35:27Speaker 9: think he's going to be really exciting. And I think
- 35:30Speaker 9: some of the decisions that he's made getting out of
- 35:32Speaker 9: the WHO. I mean, it was only over the weekend
- 35:35Speaker 9: I was talking to some people. If there was another pandemic,
- 35:38Speaker 9: there's no way Australians would put up with being locked
- 35:40Speaker 9: down and locked away and treated like they were during
- 35:43Speaker 9: the last COVID pandemic. And I think getting out of
- 35:46Speaker 9: the WHO, not buying into this globalist idea, We're going
- 35:50Speaker 9: to see more and more of that coming through American sovereignty,
- 35:53Speaker 9: the southern border, the work that he's going to do there.
- 35:56Speaker 9: And of course he's going to California on Friday, so
- 35:59Speaker 9: it'll be interesting to say with the fires there, what
- 36:02Speaker 9: his response is and how he deals with those manners
- 36:05Speaker 9: in the Californian government and how they've destroyed California.
- 36:11Speaker 2: What do you think about the preemptive pardon of his
- 36:13Speaker 2: family members, Bronman Biden Biden.
- 36:17Speaker 8: I was truly shocked I mean to make that announcement
- 36:21Speaker 8: what minutes before Trump was making his speech, and it's
- 36:29Speaker 8: the date. It's twenty and fourteen, eleven years.
- 36:36Speaker 1: Back there.
- 36:37Speaker 8: That's when when his son went onto the board in
- 36:43Speaker 8: the Ukraine of the guest company. I think it was
- 36:46Speaker 8: with no experience in whichever that company was, but to
- 36:50Speaker 8: go for the whole family. But also Fauci, Yes, exactly,
- 36:56Speaker 8: so angry. Your book was so spot on. It was
- 37:00Speaker 8: in the lab without any doubt at all. And it
- 37:03Speaker 8: is quite clear to me that pauts She was the
- 37:06Speaker 8: one who was pushing gain of function, which is to
- 37:09Speaker 8: make it more potent for human beings. That's what he
- 37:11Speaker 8: was doing. And hiding the money that he was sending.
- 37:16Speaker 8: And for these people to be pardoned in this.
- 37:20Speaker 9: Group, but it's bizarre, and I don't know, Bro, when
- 37:23Speaker 9: you're a lawyer, how can you preemptively pardon someone who
- 37:27Speaker 9: hasn't been charged, let alone convicted?
- 37:30Speaker 1: Well, I mean, how does that work.
- 37:34Speaker 2: We're out of time though, because I've got a Peter
- 37:36Speaker 2: Dutton interview coming up next.
- 37:38Speaker 1: We can't get into that off I take up this time, Holly.
- 37:43Speaker 2: Here's Robin Bishop, so lovely to see you, as always
- 37:46Speaker 2: coming up after the break. Well, ALBINIZI has been dragged,
- 37:49Speaker 2: kicking and screaming to this national cabinet more than a
- 37:52Speaker 2: year after Dutton called for one.
- 37:53Speaker 1: We'll hear his thoughts next. Welcome back.
- 38:00Speaker 2: Well, Peter Dutton could be Australia's next Prime minister. He's
- 38:04Speaker 2: pulling ahead of Alban Easy in the polls and let's
- 38:07Speaker 2: face it, the PM has been pathetic when it comes
- 38:10Speaker 2: to the rise in anti Semitism over the past fifteen months.
- 38:13Speaker 1: And today we woke up to the.
- 38:15Speaker 2: Horrific news a childcare center had been firebompt. Well, I
- 38:19Speaker 2: sat down with Peter Dutton to speak about all of
- 38:22Speaker 2: this and Donald Trump a little while ago.
- 38:27Speaker 1: Peter Dutton, thank you so much for your time.
- 38:28Speaker 2: Thank surey you first called for a national cabinet in
- 38:32Speaker 2: November twenty twenty three. It's now more than a year
- 38:35Speaker 2: later and we've seen a childcare center firebont overnight. The
- 38:41Speaker 2: Prime Minister finally listened to your demand today. In your view,
- 38:46Speaker 2: is Alban Easy in his government partly to blame for
- 38:49Speaker 2: the escalating violence that we've seen.
- 38:52Speaker 10: Sure, there's no doubt in my mind whatsoever, and I
- 38:55Speaker 10: think it was entirely predictable the last twelve fourteen months
- 38:59Speaker 10: because of what we saw on the steps of the
- 39:01Speaker 10: Opera House and when you saw the depth of hatred.
- 39:04Speaker 10: And we have all known, of course that anty Semitism
- 39:07Speaker 10: is lurking just beneath the surface, but I think it
- 39:10Speaker 10: was given a face and we saw the depth of
- 39:14Speaker 10: some of it on the steps of the Opera House,
- 39:17Speaker 10: and that was the trigger, I thought for the Prime
- 39:21Speaker 10: Minister to have what I've described as sort of the
- 39:25Speaker 10: port Arthur moment that John Howard had to take a
- 39:28Speaker 10: terrible circumstance and show the leadership that the nation required.
- 39:32Speaker 10: And I think you could reasonably predict what has happened
- 39:35Speaker 10: over the course of the last twelve months that is
- 39:37Speaker 10: continuing to escalate. But the Prime Minister seems to have
- 39:41Speaker 10: either not acknowledged that, not comprehended it, or has just
- 39:45Speaker 10: been out of his depth in terms of trying to
- 39:48Speaker 10: deal with an issue. And I think the National Cabinet
- 39:52Speaker 10: coming together with a meaningful agenda with action items, it
- 39:56Speaker 10: would have sent a clear message from the Prime Minister
- 39:59Speaker 10: and the premiers and Chief Ministers, to the police ministers
- 40:02Speaker 10: and to the police commissioners across the jurisdictions and at
- 40:05Speaker 10: a commonwealth level that we have zero tolerance for the
- 40:08Speaker 10: anti semitism, the actions on the university campuses, etc. That
- 40:12Speaker 10: we're allowed to continue on. Had there been a national
- 40:15Speaker 10: cabinet where it had been determined and agreement had been
- 40:19Speaker 10: arrived at that the States weren't going to allow that
- 40:23Speaker 10: sort of hateful conduct, then we wouldn't have seen the
- 40:26Speaker 10: escalation of my judgment and people would have known that
- 40:29Speaker 10: there's a consequence for their actions.
- 40:31Speaker 1: At the moment.
- 40:32Speaker 2: Every night you go to sleep and you worry what
- 40:35Speaker 2: the night holds, what's going to unfold, which institution or
- 40:39Speaker 2: home is going to be attacked next. You wake up
- 40:41Speaker 2: in the morning terrified at what's happened overnight, scared to
- 40:46Speaker 2: look at the news.
- 40:47Speaker 1: How can we live like this in this country?
- 40:49Speaker 10: I can't understand the amount of inaction that we've seen
- 40:54Speaker 10: from the government in Victoria. The Premier there has just
- 40:59Speaker 10: been as weak, frankly as the Prime minister. And I
- 41:04Speaker 10: think what makes it most egregious is that people are
- 41:07Speaker 10: living with that fear, not because the Prime minister has
- 41:10Speaker 10: some greater national security cause in mind, or it's a
- 41:15Speaker 10: piece on a chessboard that he's had to play because
- 41:17Speaker 10: of the geopolitical circumstances in the region of the world.
- 41:21Speaker 10: He's done it for crass political reasons, which I think
- 41:25Speaker 10: makes it even more offensive to people, because he's decided
- 41:28Speaker 10: to support one segment of the society, of our society
- 41:32Speaker 10: and to essentially shun another part of society. I just
- 41:36Speaker 10: haven't seen a prime minister do that before. And I
- 41:39Speaker 10: think you're right. There are a lot of Australians who
- 41:40Speaker 10: are living with the fear that their house is going
- 41:43Speaker 10: to be broken into and keys are going to be
- 41:46Speaker 10: stolen to take the car, and so people are leaving
- 41:49Speaker 10: their keys by the front door or in the kitchen
- 41:53Speaker 10: and playing sight And it's just a small example of
- 42:00Speaker 10: what the entire Jewish community is living with at the moment,
- 42:02Speaker 10: because they're worried they're going to be targeted, not because
- 42:06Speaker 10: of their car, but because of their religion or because
- 42:09Speaker 10: of the fact that they've got Jewish heritage, and many
- 42:12Speaker 10: of whom are talking to a couple of yesterday who've
- 42:15Speaker 10: been his sixty years, living peacefully in a suburban and
- 42:20Speaker 10: they're the subject of one of these arson attacks, and
- 42:23Speaker 10: it's just apporortling.
- 42:24Speaker 2: I think I know the couple you mean, and that
- 42:26Speaker 2: eighty five year old man went out in his pajamas
- 42:29Speaker 2: at four am and holding a hose had to try
- 42:32Speaker 2: and put out the flames of the touched cars. Eighty
- 42:36Speaker 2: five holding the hose at four in the morning. It's
- 42:40Speaker 2: unfathomable that this is what Sydney, Australia has come to.
- 42:44Speaker 10: Yeah, well, I absolutely agree, and I think we have
- 42:47Speaker 10: to have zero tolerance. So we've made announcements in relation
- 42:50Speaker 10: to strengthening of the laws that we think would provide
- 42:52Speaker 10: a very significant deterrence around mandatory around mandatory sentencing. And
- 42:57Speaker 10: if we can do that, then I think we have
- 43:00Speaker 10: a much better chance of stamping out the anti Semitism
- 43:04Speaker 10: that's now rife in our country.
- 43:06Speaker 2: So the National Cabinet is meeting almost as we speak.
- 43:10Speaker 2: They aren't considering the mandatory sentences that you've put on
- 43:14Speaker 2: the table, that you, as a police officer, think would
- 43:16Speaker 2: work as a deterrent to criminals looking at taking this
- 43:20Speaker 2: sort of violent action. Why do you think mandatory sentences
- 43:24Speaker 2: are important?
- 43:25Speaker 1: You know, I spoke with Chris.
- 43:25Speaker 2: Men's earlier and he said that those sort of laws
- 43:29Speaker 2: were reserved for the most heinous crimes.
- 43:32Speaker 1: Like murdering a policeman.
- 43:34Speaker 10: Well, what about murdering an Australian because of their religious
- 43:38Speaker 10: affiliation or murdering an Australian because their grandparents were have
- 43:46Speaker 10: migrated from Israel or were in the Holocaust. I mean,
- 43:51Speaker 10: I don't understand his point. Every Australian life is sacrasanct.
- 43:54Speaker 10: And we're talking about terrorist attacks now. This is not
- 43:58Speaker 10: a random break and enter into a house to steal
- 44:01Speaker 10: money to buy food or buy drugs. People are being targeted.
- 44:05Speaker 1: This is a wave of terror to message.
- 44:08Speaker 10: These are terrorist acts. And if there were a series
- 44:12Speaker 10: of rolling terrorist attacks in the community, I think the
- 44:16Speaker 10: Prime Minister would call a National Cabinet and a National
- 44:19Speaker 10: Security Committee meeting in a heartbeat. And yet it's taken
- 44:23Speaker 10: him fifteen months to get to this point. Fourteen months
- 44:26Speaker 10: to get to this point, and he does it without
- 44:31Speaker 10: any fanfare, or he had a press conference with the
- 44:35Speaker 10: Premier this morning, made no mention of it and holds
- 44:39Speaker 10: it this afternoon. I think just to tick the box
- 44:41Speaker 10: to exactly that the National Cabinet meeting should be an
- 44:44Speaker 10: opportunity to bring premiers and the police ministers together as
- 44:50Speaker 10: well as the Police commissioners and the security agencies to
- 44:52Speaker 10: say this is a national crisis and what we're dealing
- 44:55Speaker 10: with now is a national crisis and how do we
- 44:58Speaker 10: respond most adequately to it. I think the laws are
- 45:01Speaker 10: inadequate as they currently stand, which has been said before
- 45:05Speaker 10: by some of the Labor politicians. If that's their view,
- 45:08Speaker 10: then bring an amendment to the Act and will support
- 45:12Speaker 10: it through Parliament in the next fortnight. So unless there
- 45:17Speaker 10: is a substantive package that we're not aware of, and
- 45:20Speaker 10: I hope that there is that's been considered by the
- 45:23Speaker 10: National Cabinet, this is really just a medium management exercised
- 45:27Speaker 10: by the Prime Minister and won't provide any comfort or
- 45:31Speaker 10: any assurance that we could see a better response to
- 45:34Speaker 10: the anti Semitism that is up by seven hundred percent
- 45:37Speaker 10: across the country.
- 45:38Speaker 2: Donald Trump's inauguration obviously has just happened. Do you think
- 45:43Speaker 2: if you were to lead the next Australian government you
- 45:45Speaker 2: would have a better relationship with President Trump rather than
- 45:50Speaker 2: the Urbanese government.
- 45:51Speaker 10: Look, there's no doubt in my mind. I think the
- 45:54Speaker 10: philosophical differences between the Prime Minister and President Trump are obvious.
- 45:59Speaker 10: Prime Minister and comfort in his relationship with Jacindra Adurn
- 46:03Speaker 10: and Justin Treudeau and other left leaning leaders around the world.
- 46:08Speaker 10: That's a reflection of just on the Prime minister's life
- 46:13Speaker 10: and his outlook. He's been the leader of the hard
- 46:16Speaker 10: left of the Labor Party for decades. What does he
- 46:19Speaker 10: have in common with Donald Trump? What common ground could
- 46:23Speaker 10: they find in relation two key issues. It's hard to
- 46:27Speaker 10: imagine much at all. So there's no doubt in my
- 46:30Speaker 10: mind that we can have a very effective relationship and
- 46:33Speaker 10: a productive relationship and a respectful relationship mutually with the
- 46:38Speaker 10: Trump administration. In a government that I lead, we have
- 46:41Speaker 10: people of the caliber of James Patterson, who has very
- 46:45Speaker 10: good relationships with key individuals within the Trump administration. Similarly
- 46:50Speaker 10: with Andrew Hasty, Angus Taylor, myself and I dealt with
- 46:55Speaker 10: the Trump administration mark one, with the Trump forty five administrations.
- 47:01Speaker 10: So I feel very confident in the relationship that we
- 47:04Speaker 10: could quickly build, and I think it would be to
- 47:08Speaker 10: our country's benefit that we're able to leverage off that.
- 47:14Speaker 2: Yeah, you dealt with the administration on national security matters
- 47:17Speaker 2: of course.
- 47:18Speaker 1: All right, Peter Dutton, really appreciate your time. Thank you
- 47:21Speaker 1: so much, well, thank you, thank.
- 47:22Speaker 2: You, thank you all right. I also spoke with Peter
- 47:25Speaker 2: Dutton about whether he'd pull out of the Paris Climate
- 47:29Speaker 2: Acords like Trump, about what he thinks about the woke
- 47:32Speaker 2: agenda coming to an end. All of that is going
- 47:34Speaker 2: to be on the Sky News website in about fifteen
- 47:36Speaker 2: twenty minutes.
- 47:37Speaker 1: We couldn't fit it all in here, and more to
- 47:39Speaker 1: come after the break.
- 47:45Speaker 2: Okay, let's cross live to Israel now and bring in
- 47:48Speaker 2: October seven. Hero Nimrod, Powermack Nimrod. Great to see you again.
- 47:53Speaker 2: Look what's been the reaction in Israel to the Palestinian
- 47:58Speaker 2: criminals who've been released in exchange for the return of
- 48:01Speaker 2: three hostages.
- 48:03Speaker 11: Thank you, Sherry for having me. It's good to be here. Listen.
- 48:06Speaker 11: I think the sentiment is really complicated. On the one hand,
- 48:10Speaker 11: we all wanted to see our sisters and brothers getting
- 48:13Speaker 11: out from the hell of Hamas dungeons and tunnels, and
- 48:17Speaker 11: we couldn't imagine a better result of the city's three
- 48:19Speaker 11: girls leaving these tunnels. On the other hand, we all
- 48:24Speaker 11: understand these are not just prisoners. This is convicted terrorists
- 48:28Speaker 11: that killed many lives and now it's us to deal with.
- 48:31Speaker 11: But I completely trust the IDF to be able to
- 48:36Speaker 11: deal with any one of them that would choose the
- 48:38Speaker 11: path of tell.
- 48:38Speaker 2: Again, I mean, we know that Sinoa was one of
- 48:42Speaker 2: those released in the previous hostage deal for Gillard Charlotte,
- 48:48Speaker 2: So there is this concern again, how do you think
- 48:52Speaker 2: IDF will be able to keep track of everyone?
- 48:56Speaker 11: So the IDEF has its own methodologies of how to
- 48:59Speaker 11: count to terror. Eventually, if one of them will choose
- 49:02Speaker 11: the path of Telor and we'll choose to reconnect with
- 49:05Speaker 11: Tailor ourselves in the West Bank or wherever they will go,
- 49:08Speaker 11: it's really really easy for them to do that. But
- 49:11Speaker 11: again I'm trust that the IDEA will be able to
- 49:13Speaker 11: take care of that. What interestingly the most is to
- 49:16Speaker 11: be able to see more and more of our brothers
- 49:18Speaker 11: coming back because we all don't know what's the situation there.
- 49:22Speaker 2: We have no Idea and we hope for another three
- 49:25Speaker 2: being released on Saturday. Nimrod, I apologize, it's been a
- 49:29Speaker 2: packed show. We'll get you on again. I'll see everyone
- 49:31Speaker 2: tomorrow night at eight. And here's Paul Marie
