- 0:00Speaker 1: Welcome to the Late Place.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Hello, and welcome to the show.
- 0:08Speaker 3: I'm Danikity Georgio tonight, joined by cayleb Bond and Joe
- 0:12Speaker 3: Hid to brand gentlemen.
- 0:13Speaker 4: Certainly sid Arthur or Martha on this show.
- 0:18Speaker 1: Well, you know, so you could be Arthur and Martha if.
- 0:23Speaker 4: I could want that, I could be both, and then
- 0:24Speaker 4: i'd be they.
- 0:25Speaker 3: Then indeed exactly, But you know what it is, Joe's
- 0:27Speaker 3: because you're an all rounder.
- 0:29Speaker 4: I am an all rounder.
- 0:30Speaker 3: So you know we love to put you in the cricket. Yeah,
- 0:33Speaker 3: well actually I was.
- 0:34Speaker 4: Actually I was equally bad at all.
- 0:38Speaker 3: Well, you can't be good at everything, Joe. I mean,
- 0:40Speaker 3: we've got to be modest about the others. We've got
- 0:43Speaker 3: to be modest out. We've certainly got to be modest
- 0:46Speaker 3: about these things, all right, coming up tonight, Bob Hawk
- 0:49Speaker 3: once said, any boss who sacks a worker but not
- 0:51Speaker 3: turning up to work is a bum. Does the same
- 0:54Speaker 3: sentiment apply for tomorrow's Soccer's World Cup match? The official
- 0:58Speaker 3: opening of the Australian War All Memorials Redevelopment had a
- 1:02Speaker 3: lengthy welcome to country, but it was missing one thing.
- 1:05Speaker 2: The national anthem and the net.
- 1:07Speaker 3: Zero fantasy is going real well in the UK in
- 1:10Speaker 3: the middle of a record breaking heat wave and electric
- 1:14Speaker 3: bus has burst into flames. But first Victorian teenagers who
- 1:18Speaker 3: go undercover purchasing tobacco and alcohol to catch out dodgy
- 1:22Speaker 3: retailers will no longer be deployed. The Herald Sun has
- 1:26Speaker 3: confirmed the state has started rolling back all mystery shopping
- 1:30Speaker 3: programs involving miners under the age of eighteen, and it
- 1:33Speaker 3: concerns the children and their families would be targeted by
- 1:37Speaker 3: underworld criminal gangs now. The initiatives have previously been run
- 1:41Speaker 3: through local councils to catch retailers selling controlled goods as
- 1:45Speaker 3: the tobacco war heats up, but this Mystery Shopping Minus
- 1:49Speaker 3: program has already fallen well.
- 1:51Speaker 2: Short of its targets. Have a look at this.
- 1:53Speaker 3: Only one nine hundred and sixty two of a planned
- 1:57Speaker 3: three thousand test purchases were completed in twenty twenty five
- 2:00Speaker 3: to twenty six. According to Victorian budget papers. The number
- 2:04Speaker 3: of test purchases was lower than the target due to
- 2:07Speaker 3: safety concerns and a reduction in council participation. This measure
- 2:12Speaker 3: is being discontinued to reflect changes in regulatory activity in
- 2:16Speaker 3: line with other jurisdictions. Counsel insiders told the Herald Son
- 2:20Speaker 3: the move to employ underage or pseudo underage people to
- 2:23Speaker 3: undertake the job was once common, but it had simply
- 2:27Speaker 3: become too risky.
- 2:28Speaker 2: I've got two points to make on this bozarring.
- 2:30Speaker 3: First, Firstly, I had no idea that they were putting
- 2:33Speaker 3: teams undercover for this activity. What parent, in my view,
- 2:37Speaker 3: is saying to their kids, no worries, haun feel free,
- 2:40Speaker 3: will sign you up. You can go as a covert
- 2:42Speaker 3: pseudo you know, undercover person when they know that the
- 2:45Speaker 3: risks are involved, especially in the tobacco industry. And my
- 2:49Speaker 3: other point that I would make is why hasn't the
- 2:51Speaker 3: Victorian government just taken the bull by the horns sought
- 2:54Speaker 3: this out. Caleb, maybe get on the phone, call the
- 2:57Speaker 3: FEDS up, call Federal Labor and say, you know what,
- 3:00Speaker 3: We're done with the tobacco wars. We're done with the
- 3:02Speaker 3: fire bombings of all these local stores. We are going
- 3:05Speaker 3: to dump this tobacco excise and get a move on
- 3:09Speaker 3: on this.
- 3:09Speaker 1: Well. I don't disagree with you on that point at all.
- 3:11Speaker 1: In fact, I wrote a column today for news dot com.
- 3:13Speaker 1: Dot you that said, get rid of the tax entirely,
- 3:17Speaker 1: because well, we know it doesn't work. But you know,
- 3:19Speaker 1: over the era Jim Charmers and Mark Butler and Julian
- 3:24Speaker 1: Hill and Colego La la la la la. Would anyone
- 3:27Speaker 1: suggests that maybe the tax is causing all of this.
- 3:30Speaker 1: But I don't have a problem with the kids going
- 3:33Speaker 1: out and doing these things. I think it's a real
- 3:36Speaker 1: shame that they're having the heavies put on them by
- 3:39Speaker 1: you know, Kazim Hamad and all these criminals down in
- 3:42Speaker 1: Victoria going around knocking on doors. And he's now locked
- 3:45Speaker 1: up in Iraq, thank god. But you know, I reckon
- 3:49Speaker 1: honest kids trying to do their bit for the community
- 3:52Speaker 1: and getting paid in the process to try and weed
- 3:54Speaker 1: out elicit tobacco. They're solid citizens. I think that's fantastic
- 3:59Speaker 1: that kids would be get going out there and earning
- 4:00Speaker 1: a crust and doing their bit to try and combat
- 4:03Speaker 1: the illicit tobacco trade in Victoria.
- 4:05Speaker 4: You don't think that there are perhaps certain questions that
- 4:08Speaker 4: might arise, just a few sort of red flags. I mean,
- 4:10Speaker 4: at least on twenty one Jump Street, they were adult
- 4:13Speaker 4: cops just pretending to be teenagers. But these guys are
- 4:17Speaker 4: actual teenagers being used to conduct undercover six. I mean,
- 4:21Speaker 4: I want a thing I would have loved to have
- 4:22Speaker 4: done when I was a teener, just how I know,
- 4:24Speaker 4: it's batshit crazy. Anything you think is a good idea
- 4:27Speaker 4: as a teenager is its?
- 4:29Speaker 1: How fun would that be? And you're getting paid to
- 4:31Speaker 1: basically be an undercover cop? I mean as a teenager,
- 4:35Speaker 1: that would be wonderful. Maybe not so wonderful when you've
- 4:37Speaker 1: got some you know, Middle Eastern crime gang figure door
- 4:42Speaker 1: and saying I'm going to fire bomb you if you
- 4:43Speaker 1: come around next time. But that might all be part
- 4:46Speaker 1: of the fun.
- 4:47Speaker 4: But how did anyone not see that coming? How on
- 4:50Speaker 4: earth did anyone involve the counsel of the cops, whoever
- 4:53Speaker 4: it might be, not say, hang on a minute. We're
- 4:56Speaker 4: dealing with organized criminals here, organized crime. We're dealing with
- 5:01Speaker 4: an industry that specialized. I mean, the only thing that
- 5:04Speaker 4: it specializes in more than illegal tobacco and vapes is
- 5:08Speaker 4: fire bombing. And who are we going to send at
- 5:11Speaker 4: the coal face to test that? I mean, what if
- 5:14Speaker 4: they got sprung?
- 5:15Speaker 3: What if they But the other thing, the other question
- 5:18Speaker 3: that I have is how are kids actually being enrolled.
- 5:21Speaker 2: What's the process. Are they child actors or something? Are
- 5:24Speaker 2: they signed up.
- 5:24Speaker 4: To some sort of bond?
- 5:27Speaker 2: You were you were a child, well you were a
- 5:30Speaker 2: child actor?
- 5:30Speaker 1: What were you were?
- 5:31Speaker 3: You were just a child genius? This guy is an
- 5:33Speaker 3: absolute genius.
- 5:35Speaker 2: You know, we talk about Joe being able to do everything.
- 5:37Speaker 2: I think it's actually.
- 5:39Speaker 1: Talk about blow and smoke up me.
- 5:41Speaker 2: Caleb was on ROD when he was younger. You may
- 5:44Speaker 2: have been signed up as an undercovered.
- 5:46Speaker 4: That's whys all for it, because he could have gone
- 5:48Speaker 4: full method.
- 5:50Speaker 1: You know, and you know, I believe that entrepreneurial spirits
- 5:54Speaker 1: encourage and if the kids want to earn a crust
- 5:57Speaker 1: by going out and doing their bit to weed out
- 5:59Speaker 1: a list, I think that's a good thing. I mean,
- 6:02Speaker 1: come on, they're honest citizens. These are the kids that
- 6:05Speaker 1: they've got a policing problem in Victoria. We know that
- 6:08Speaker 1: they can't get enough coppers to sign up. So if
- 6:10Speaker 1: we can get the sixteen year olds go and have
- 6:12Speaker 1: a taste of being a copper before they go in
- 6:15Speaker 1: as a job, how good is that?
- 6:16Speaker 4: Why stop there? Just lower the age for becoming a
- 6:18Speaker 4: police officer to sixteen or fifteen. If you can work
- 6:21Speaker 4: at maccers. You can work on the back with the
- 6:24Speaker 4: Victoria's a new slogan going into the election campaign.
- 6:27Speaker 1: You probably might.
- 6:27Speaker 4: Stop at backers kids. You can sign up boys, and
- 6:31Speaker 4: it'll be like those little thing literally soldiers that the
- 6:34Speaker 4: Nazis used to put on the uniforms at the end
- 6:36Speaker 4: of World War Two.
- 6:38Speaker 3: I think I think we we're in big trouble in
- 6:40Speaker 3: Victoria to your point, Joe, when we've got twenty one
- 6:43Speaker 3: Jump Street representing the crime wave.
- 6:46Speaker 1: Look, they are, they are in big trouble. And I
- 6:48Speaker 1: know we're making fun of all of this and saying, oh, well,
- 6:50Speaker 1: what are they? What were they thinking getting kids involved?
- 6:53Speaker 1: But you know, and I've said this many times, I
- 6:54Speaker 1: feel so sorry for the States in this situation because
- 6:57Speaker 1: it's not their fault that any of this has happened.
- 7:00Speaker 1: I mean, you know, traditionally, and your good mate Chris
- 7:03Speaker 1: Minds has talked about the fact the Excise has caused
- 7:06Speaker 1: all of this, but you know, traditionally, an enforcement of
- 7:09Speaker 1: all of these things he's been done by health bureaucrats
- 7:12Speaker 1: because it wasn't a problem. You didn't need to get
- 7:15Speaker 1: coppers to go in and deal with this stuff. And
- 7:17Speaker 1: then all of a sudden you've got more than two
- 7:18Speaker 1: hundred fire bombings across the country because the tax has
- 7:21Speaker 1: gone up so much, which is caused by the federal government,
- 7:24Speaker 1: and then the states are expected to spend the money
- 7:27Speaker 1: to enforce it. So instead of cops, you know, dealing
- 7:30Speaker 1: with murders and rapes and things, they're going around to
- 7:33Speaker 1: tobacconists and telling them to shut up shop like that
- 7:36Speaker 1: is very generous.
- 7:37Speaker 4: But I've got the feeling that Victoria is just so utterly,
- 7:40Speaker 4: utterly cooked as a state, as a government as there
- 7:43Speaker 4: is that even if the federal government did nothing, their
- 7:47Speaker 4: shops would just spontaneously give I just burst into flames
- 7:51Speaker 4: of their own accord because you know, in a piece
- 7:53Speaker 4: of kind of you know, theatrical representation of the state's
- 7:57Speaker 4: economic position.
- 7:59Speaker 1: Well, you know, maybe then I'll be able to rebuild
- 8:00Speaker 1: in Victoria. But I think it's quite funny that, you know,
- 8:03Speaker 1: everyone goes, oh, big tobacco. Well, then the ABS recently
- 8:06Speaker 1: found that eighty percent of the tobacco market in this
- 8:09Speaker 1: country now is illicit. So it is in fact Middle
- 8:12Speaker 1: Eastern crime games that are a big tobacco in this
- 8:15Speaker 1: country these days. Now, if that didn't get you going.
- 8:18Speaker 1: This one probably will. It'll make your blood boil, I suspect.
- 8:21Speaker 1: On Tuesday there was the grand opening of the new
- 8:24Speaker 1: five hundred million dollar atrium and Anzac hor at the
- 8:28Speaker 1: National War Memorial in Canberra and there was a lengthy
- 8:32Speaker 1: welcome to country that was given and went on for minutes,
- 8:36Speaker 1: but curiously they did not play the national anthem. Very
- 8:42Speaker 1: strange because the Opposition leader Angus Taylor was talking to
- 8:46Speaker 1: Mark Levy on two GB he was equally perplexed.
- 8:50Speaker 5: You're asking a bloody good question as to why it
- 8:53Speaker 5: wasn't it should have been. This was an important event.
- 8:57Speaker 5: It was a five hundred million dollar redevelopment of the
- 8:59Speaker 5: War War Memorial, which is such an important memorial, and
- 9:03Speaker 5: it needed to be a commemoration or a opening from
- 9:09Speaker 5: across the Parliament with the support of everyone in the Parliament.
- 9:11Speaker 5: And we didn't even have a national anthem.
- 9:14Speaker 1: I mean, this is very odd any kind of major
- 9:18Speaker 1: sporting event welcome to country, national anthem. I mean even
- 9:23Speaker 1: at school assemblies you have the national anthem. You would
- 9:27Speaker 1: think of all the places the National War Memorial where
- 9:32Speaker 1: they opened up an Anzac Hall, you think would deserve
- 9:37Speaker 1: the reverence of the national anthem, but instead they get
- 9:40Speaker 1: a lengthy welcome to country, no national anthem. Something is
- 9:44Speaker 1: really wrong here, well.
- 9:45Speaker 3: Something is I actually find this quite offensive. The national
- 9:47Speaker 3: anthem is something that we should be proud of, just
- 9:49Speaker 3: as we should be proud of this country now, our
- 9:52Speaker 3: ANZACs and soldiers who continue to fight for us, and
- 9:55Speaker 3: who fought for us, they represented the land of the
- 10:00Speaker 3: young and the free, as our national anthem has said,
- 10:03Speaker 3: and I actually think this is very disrespectful to veterans
- 10:06Speaker 3: that we didn't honor them in a way where we
- 10:07Speaker 3: could all stand up at that event and sing in
- 10:10Speaker 3: the national anthem, and yet people had to sit there
- 10:13Speaker 3: as we all do politely and listen to a very
- 10:15Speaker 3: lengthy welcome to country.
- 10:17Speaker 2: Now.
- 10:17Speaker 3: Of course there were indigenous people who fought in the
- 10:19Speaker 3: war that that's not taking this away. But in the end,
- 10:22Speaker 3: we have a national anthem for a reason, and I
- 10:25Speaker 3: have yet to hear from the Australian War Memorial as
- 10:28Speaker 3: to why it was omitted, and I think that they
- 10:29Speaker 3: should actually give an explanation, given that this was supposed
- 10:33Speaker 3: to be the opening of their major redevelopment and nobody
- 10:37Speaker 3: said anything.
- 10:38Speaker 4: I suspect it's the sort of thing where it's not
- 10:40Speaker 4: like they were singing other songs that weren't the national anthem.
- 10:43Speaker 4: I suspect it's the sort of thing where they would think, well,
- 10:46Speaker 4: this is an opening of a building, we don't sing
- 10:49Speaker 4: the national anthem. Openings of buildings will have a welcome
- 10:53Speaker 4: to cap we will have a welcome to country. And
- 10:55Speaker 4: I think that is where the kind of thinking falls over,
- 10:57Speaker 4: where they're just not reading the mood of them at
- 11:00Speaker 4: the moment where people do feel like and again, I
- 11:03Speaker 4: don't have any problem with welcome to countries. I welcomes
- 11:06Speaker 4: to country either don't find them offensive or they don't
- 11:09Speaker 4: trigger me at all. But there are clearly a lot
- 11:11Speaker 4: of people who who do find that it's in some
- 11:15Speaker 4: way infringing upon their sense of being truly Australian or whatever.
- 11:19Speaker 4: So why on earth you wouldn't if you are going
- 11:22Speaker 4: to have a welcome to country, also ensure that you
- 11:24Speaker 4: have the national anthem as well. It just seems to
- 11:28Speaker 4: me like more of and again, this would have been
- 11:31Speaker 4: organized independently of the actual federal government, would have been
- 11:34Speaker 4: organized by the War Memorial people itself, but just and
- 11:38Speaker 4: a failure of our I don't want to cultural elites
- 11:42Speaker 4: for one of a better term, or our institutions people
- 11:45Speaker 4: at the top of the tree to properly appreciate, to
- 11:49Speaker 4: properly realize just how much stress and anger and discontent
- 11:54Speaker 4: there is simmering at the bottom. And again, this is
- 11:58Speaker 4: something that the government needs to dress, but it's also
- 12:00Speaker 4: something that all institutions need to address. I was talking
- 12:02Speaker 4: to people, you know, just about, for example, the huge
- 12:07Speaker 4: corporate buy into the Voice Reverend and just how toxic
- 12:14Speaker 4: that was for people on the ground who just saw
- 12:18Speaker 4: it again as being lectured to by people who were
- 12:21Speaker 4: doing much better in life than them and then had
- 12:24Speaker 4: the goal to sort of lecture down at them and
- 12:28Speaker 4: tell and tell them what good corporate citizens they were,
- 12:31Speaker 4: what progressive, you know, inclusive people they were, and that
- 12:35Speaker 4: anyone who dared to question it was, you know, it
- 12:38Speaker 4: was like Hillary Clinton would say, it deplorable. So I
- 12:42Speaker 4: think it's a wake up call for everyone in every institution,
- 12:46Speaker 4: public and private in Australia to realize that this kind
- 12:50Speaker 4: of virtue signaling, if you like, not that you know,
- 12:54Speaker 4: that is how it is seen. Even if I'm not
- 12:55Speaker 4: particularly troubled by it, but that kind of stuff is
- 12:59Speaker 4: becoming really really and I think if one nation has
- 13:02Speaker 4: taught us anything, it's that Australians want to be able
- 13:04Speaker 4: to be proudly Australian unequivocally and not be sort of
- 13:09Speaker 4: lectured to on these sours.
- 13:10Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm also surprised that nobody's talking about this
- 13:14Speaker 3: because it hasn't really been reported at all in the media.
- 13:17Speaker 3: I only saw it on I think it was The
- 13:19Speaker 3: Daily Telegraph's website. But I think that there should be
- 13:22Speaker 3: actually more outrage towards this, and I think there would
- 13:25Speaker 3: be a lot of veterans out there who would be
- 13:27Speaker 3: highly offended as well.
- 13:28Speaker 1: I take your point Joe that you know it's not
- 13:30Speaker 1: customary to play the national anthem at the opening of
- 13:32Speaker 1: a building, But of course it wasn't just the opening
- 13:35Speaker 1: of a building. It's the war memorial rights, and it's
- 13:38Speaker 1: a commemoration of those who have served and those who
- 13:42Speaker 1: have given their lives to this country. And so you
- 13:44Speaker 1: think if ever there was a moment where there is
- 13:47Speaker 1: the opening of a building where you would take the
- 13:49Speaker 1: time to play and sing the national anthem in deference
- 13:54Speaker 1: to those who have served this country, that would be
- 13:57Speaker 1: the time. Now, you know, Bayratzi should probably be God
- 13:59Speaker 1: saved the King because that would have been that many
- 14:04Speaker 1: people who gave their lives to this country were serving.
- 14:07Speaker 1: But but you know, if ever there was a time
- 14:08Speaker 1: for it, that was the time. And I can't believe
- 14:11Speaker 1: that they either didn't think of it or deliberately omitted it.
- 14:15Speaker 1: I mean, if I find it hard to believe that
- 14:17Speaker 1: they would deliberately omit it like they thought about it, I.
- 14:20Speaker 2: Don't do it, But why wouldn't they put it up?
- 14:22Speaker 4: I can just guarantee you at every sort of organized
- 14:28Speaker 4: corporate or high level departmental event or whatever it is,
- 14:32Speaker 4: it is just so just baked into the running order
- 14:37Speaker 4: that you start with a welcome to count it is.
- 14:39Speaker 4: It is just like it is just a template where
- 14:41Speaker 4: you take that thing, which.
- 14:42Speaker 1: Means it's lost to me because it's just done it.
- 14:47Speaker 4: But the national anthem is just not on that template.
- 14:50Speaker 4: And someone again, someone should have had the wear with
- 14:52Speaker 4: all to say, hang on a minute, this is the
- 14:54Speaker 4: national this is the Australian War Memorial. We need to
- 14:57Speaker 4: have the national anthem. But instead it was have just
- 15:00Speaker 4: been yep, right, okay, yep.
- 15:02Speaker 3: Well, look I know when we will be seeing the
- 15:04Speaker 3: national anthem, and that is tomorrow at midday Eastern time,
- 15:09Speaker 3: if you're going to be watching the soccer Wo's big
- 15:11Speaker 3: World Cup match against Paraguay. Now, the timing of the match,
- 15:15Speaker 3: it's in the middle of the day, and it's on
- 15:17Speaker 3: a Friday, which got us thinking back to this very
- 15:21Speaker 3: famous line.
- 15:24Speaker 2: I tell you what, any bus who secks anyone but
- 15:26Speaker 2: not turning up the day is.
- 15:27Speaker 3: Above, yes, Bob Hawk nineteen eighty three, the America's Cup.
- 15:34Speaker 3: But look, employers are so worried that people will indeed
- 15:37Speaker 3: be taken as sicky tomorrow because of the Soccer's World
- 15:41Speaker 3: Cup game. They're trying all new, different lucrative ways to
- 15:44Speaker 3: try and make sure that you actually rock up at
- 15:46Speaker 3: work and.
- 15:46Speaker 2: Don't call in sick for the morning.
- 15:49Speaker 3: Now, research actually by SBS World Cup Watches Right Association
- 15:53Speaker 3: said fifty three percent of bosses agreed that workplaces should
- 15:56Speaker 3: indeed make arrangements to let their employees what the soccer us,
- 16:00Speaker 3: with one third of workplaces having booked a meeting to
- 16:04Speaker 3: watch the clash.
- 16:05Speaker 2: And that's the way of doing it. Book a meeting,
- 16:07Speaker 2: book of teams.
- 16:08Speaker 4: You might get a team to our mind to discuss
- 16:11Speaker 4: the strategy of our key performance indicators going forward.
- 16:16Speaker 2: That's it.
- 16:16Speaker 3: Well, there were calls you might remember, for a public holiday,
- 16:20Speaker 3: but they were denying. I think that's a bit over
- 16:21Speaker 3: the top. I don't think you need a public holiday
- 16:23Speaker 3: for this event. I think that's just too much. But
- 16:26Speaker 3: businesses are doing live office viewings, and I actually think
- 16:30Speaker 3: that that is fair enough. I don't think that productivity
- 16:32Speaker 3: will be particularly high around lunchtime tomorrow for the next
- 16:36Speaker 3: for the few hours.
- 16:37Speaker 2: But you know, I understand people are patriotic.
- 16:43Speaker 1: Well, and I heard our good friend Paul Murray in
- 16:46Speaker 1: the previous hour saying, you know, tomorrow midday, knockoff and
- 16:51Speaker 1: go and have an eighty star long lunch. And so
- 16:54Speaker 1: I am here to announce that on Paul's advice, is
- 16:57Speaker 1: my colleague, that is what I will be doing tomorrow,
- 17:00Speaker 1: and so I would not be I will not be
- 17:02Speaker 1: present for the addition of the bond report at five pm.
- 17:05Speaker 1: I'm sure the bosses will be perfectly happy with that,
- 17:08Speaker 1: because Paul Murray told me, and now Denika is telling
- 17:11Speaker 1: me to do it as well. I mean, who's going
- 17:13Speaker 1: to keep the wheels of this country moving? I hope
- 17:16Speaker 1: my producers, my producers don't get any ideas thinking that
- 17:21Speaker 1: they can slack off at midday tomorrow. We've got a
- 17:24Speaker 1: program to put to Okay, it's all right.
- 17:30Speaker 4: Get to the pub and if they win, no one's
- 17:31Speaker 4: coming back.
- 17:32Speaker 1: Well I hope that goes down all right with the
- 17:34Speaker 1: Sky News bosses. When I don't come back for the
- 17:37Speaker 1: show at five o'clock? What what are the things going
- 17:39Speaker 1: to happen to me? If I don't come back for
- 17:41Speaker 1: my show at five o'clock? Back half cat and then.
- 17:47Speaker 4: It's a time on the tradition.
- 17:49Speaker 1: I think I could do it quite well.
- 17:50Speaker 4: I need to stay You're honest, medication, but.
- 17:52Speaker 2: Nothing will change exactly the same.
- 17:56Speaker 1: Because you just don't want too much blood in your
- 17:58Speaker 1: alcohol stream? Is that you got lot? I live a lot.
- 18:01Speaker 2: It's the last day of school as well. Kids took the.
- 18:03Speaker 1: Last day of school for me. I mean, where's where's
- 18:06Speaker 1: my day off? If I don't put that play it
- 18:10Speaker 1: right ext.
- 18:12Speaker 4: At five o'clock, everyone except famous TV hosts just get
- 18:17Speaker 4: out there. You can work. You make it up later.
- 18:19Speaker 4: This is if Australia wins and we get through the finals,
- 18:22Speaker 4: this is going to be this moment of incredible celebration
- 18:25Speaker 4: that we'll remember years to come and one day your
- 18:29Speaker 4: kids can say, Dad, is it true that you were
- 18:31Speaker 4: alive when Australia beat Paraguay and got to the final
- 18:35Speaker 4: thirty two of the World Cup. So yes, it was son.
- 18:38Speaker 4: What did you do? I was in a teams meeting, Son,
- 18:42Speaker 4: Is that what you want to say?
- 18:43Speaker 1: On? Actually? I do? I mean I think we should
- 18:45Speaker 1: revive the long lunch in general, and I do people do.
- 18:48Speaker 1: Hope people take the time to watch the game uncholutely bloody.
- 18:54Speaker 2: Industries are having long lunch.
- 18:56Speaker 1: But this is the problem. I think there is a
- 18:58Speaker 1: direct correlation between in the decline of the long lunch
- 19:01Speaker 1: and the decline of Western civilization.
- 19:03Speaker 2: To be alcohol. You want a long lunch on a Friday?
- 19:09Speaker 1: Look? No, well look, given that I now do a
- 19:12Speaker 1: program on a Friday, yes it has become difficult. But
- 19:14Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of the Friday long lunch. I mean,
- 19:17Speaker 1: journalism was one of the few places left when I
- 19:19Speaker 1: joined the industry teen years ago that you could still
- 19:22Speaker 1: drink on the job and occasionally get out for a
- 19:25Speaker 1: long of which I was most appreciative. But you know
- 19:29Speaker 1: that's I think we've got to get back to the
- 19:31Speaker 1: eighties we've got to get back before we had fringe
- 19:33Speaker 1: benefits tax and we've got to get people out having
- 19:36Speaker 1: long lunches because it's good for the economy, it's good
- 19:38Speaker 1: for the workplace. It's where business gets done. And so yes,
- 19:41Speaker 1: I do hope people go out and watch the match
- 19:43Speaker 1: tomorrow and have a long lunch and get a few
- 19:45Speaker 1: schooners and wines and whatever into them. But I just
- 19:48Speaker 1: hope they think of me toiling away while they're doing.
- 19:51Speaker 2: Yeah, but let me ask you. Let me just ask
- 19:52Speaker 2: you a very quick question.
- 19:53Speaker 3: Can we trust employees now to engulf and enjoy their
- 19:57Speaker 3: long lunch.
- 19:57Speaker 2: While keeping productivity high? Literally you can, oh, look at
- 20:01Speaker 2: what's happened with work from home.
- 20:02Speaker 1: It will led to different kettler fish there. They're not
- 20:04Speaker 1: all at home drinking. Are they're going to plant that?
- 20:07Speaker 4: I think the takeout message drunk, they're going to be
- 20:10Speaker 4: more productive.
- 20:11Speaker 1: I've done my best work not on air, but writing
- 20:17Speaker 1: under the influence.
- 20:17Speaker 4: I think if someone would have a few stiff drinks,
- 20:22Speaker 4: we might get a slightly more robust solution to Sydney's
- 20:25Speaker 4: shark crisis. Maybe if someone put a little bit of
- 20:28Speaker 4: something in the hit flask, you get a bit of
- 20:30Speaker 4: Dutch courage and do what needs to be done, which
- 20:32Speaker 4: is killed them all. But yes. A series of great
- 20:34Speaker 4: white shark sidings at Bondai Beach as reignited concerns about
- 20:38Speaker 4: shark activity along Sydney's coastline. The beach was shut yet
- 20:41Speaker 4: again today, the third consecutive day, after another predator was
- 20:46Speaker 4: seen near surface. All the anecdotal evidence is that these
- 20:49Speaker 4: are getting bigger, they are getting closer to the shore,
- 20:54Speaker 4: and possibly they are being powered by AI.
- 20:59Speaker 1: Deliberately.
- 21:00Speaker 4: I'm just gonna say it. It is time. I don't
- 21:02Speaker 4: care what it is. I am pro human, I'm not
- 21:05Speaker 4: pro shark. I don't care if they were in the
- 21:07Speaker 4: water first. We crawled out of the water however, many
- 21:11Speaker 4: billion years ago, so they've got no monopoly on it.
- 21:15Speaker 4: And I say we go in there, we shoot them,
- 21:18Speaker 4: We net them, we fish them, we slice them, we
- 21:20Speaker 4: dice them, we eat them in batter, whatever it takes.
- 21:23Speaker 4: Oh Jez, just get rid of those evils. The one
- 21:27Speaker 4: in could you was the size of a car, A
- 21:30Speaker 4: small car, I'll grant you that, but a car. We
- 21:32Speaker 4: should not have sharks the size of a car swimming
- 21:36Speaker 4: between the flags.
- 21:38Speaker 1: Look, I'm with you.
- 21:38Speaker 4: I'm with you.
- 21:39Speaker 1: You know, once upon a time we would have had
- 21:40Speaker 1: a beer with our battered shack, but now you're on
- 21:44Speaker 1: the vodka these days. But I'll meet you halfway and
- 21:46Speaker 1: you and I think could eat our way through these
- 21:48Speaker 1: great whites, which we're not allowed to kill because we've
- 21:51Speaker 1: signed up to all these international treaties and things. Apparently.
- 21:55Speaker 1: But if for three days in a row you've had
- 21:57Speaker 1: the beaches being closed because of a great sighting, now
- 22:01Speaker 1: I don't know for sure whether it's the same great
- 22:03Speaker 1: white that keeps turning up, but just go out and
- 22:06Speaker 1: shoot the thing.
- 22:07Speaker 3: But the fact that these sharks have been picked up
- 22:10Speaker 3: on drones, which is why that they have closed the beaches,
- 22:13Speaker 3: doesn't that suggest that shark mitigation practices are working as
- 22:16Speaker 3: it is because the drones have been indeed picked up
- 22:19Speaker 3: these sharks, therefore they've closed the beach down.
- 22:22Speaker 4: Well, sure, but that's but.
- 22:23Speaker 1: How long ago was it a woman got torn up?
- 22:25Speaker 1: That could you?
- 22:26Speaker 2: But again, and look, we've had this debate. We had
- 22:29Speaker 2: this debate, racer.
- 22:30Speaker 3: I am so I understand we are pro human life,
- 22:34Speaker 3: but in the end, you take that risk when you
- 22:36Speaker 3: enter the water. There may be a probability that there
- 22:39Speaker 3: is a shark just as you hop into your car,
- 22:41Speaker 3: that you might have a car accident. There is always
- 22:44Speaker 3: risks involved, and that is the risk that you take
- 22:46Speaker 3: when you enter their territory and their habitat.
- 22:49Speaker 4: Yeah, but we don't say all right, it's always going
- 22:51Speaker 4: to be a risk when you're get in the car.
- 22:52Speaker 4: So away you go. Here's your VA. No seat belt,
- 22:55Speaker 4: side road rules, no traffic lights, just you know, going
- 22:58Speaker 4: to swim between.
- 22:59Speaker 2: The mapas swim between the flags.
- 23:01Speaker 4: No, So we do so we regulate things and we
- 23:03Speaker 4: mitigate the danger. And the woman it could she was
- 23:05Speaker 4: swimming between the flags and she got charmed.
- 23:07Speaker 1: Correct.
- 23:08Speaker 4: Correct.
- 23:08Speaker 1: So I mean to use the comparison if there were
- 23:13Speaker 1: a group of I don't know what's the plural for kangaroo.
- 23:17Speaker 4: What do you a murder of kangaroo?
- 23:19Speaker 1: A mob of kangaroos. So if you had a mob
- 23:22Speaker 1: of kangaroos who suddenly decided that they wanted to live
- 23:25Speaker 1: in the medium stripped down the Hume Highway or something,
- 23:29Speaker 1: they'd be out there and they'd all be shot dead.
- 23:33Speaker 4: Our national on the curative arms, correct, because they pandemic
- 23:36Speaker 4: proportions we call because they're ruining the earth or the
- 23:41Speaker 4: grass or whatever, and yet we can't cull sharks when
- 23:44Speaker 4: they're chomping people's heads.
- 23:45Speaker 1: You know what.
- 23:46Speaker 2: I've said this on air before.
- 23:47Speaker 3: I was a young reporter in perth Under the former
- 23:49Speaker 3: Barnet government, the Liberal government there, and their catch and
- 23:52Speaker 3: kill policy was an absolute political disaster. Day after day
- 23:56Speaker 3: there was pictures of blood coming out of sharks splashed
- 24:00Speaker 3: lost the West Australian newspaper.
- 24:01Speaker 1: It was.
- 24:02Speaker 3: They ended up backflipping on the policy, Joe, because politically
- 24:06Speaker 3: it hurt them. It was it was a really bad policy,
- 24:12Speaker 3: you know what a dead still. They did kill several
- 24:15Speaker 3: sharks I remember over that time, over that time frame,
- 24:18Speaker 3: but it.
- 24:19Speaker 4: Was more the hippies up and down and go.
- 24:24Speaker 3: I don't consider myself to be a hippie and I'm
- 24:26Speaker 3: completely against that the shark cole.
- 24:28Speaker 2: I just don't.
- 24:28Speaker 3: I don't agree with it, secret secret, But I was
- 24:33Speaker 3: reading in that article that a lot of it has
- 24:35Speaker 3: to do around this time of the year with bait
- 24:37Speaker 3: fish movements and that's why there's a lot of more
- 24:39Speaker 3: sharks coming coming closer into the shore and the moment again,
- 24:42Speaker 3: I just think it's the risks take. It's the risk
- 24:46Speaker 3: that you take when you enter the water. I just
- 24:47Speaker 3: think it's it is well.
- 24:49Speaker 1: I reckon we should eat them all, the bait, fish, sharks,
- 24:52Speaker 1: the whole lot.
- 24:53Speaker 4: I do my bit for the one giant seafood fricacy around.
- 24:58Speaker 4: Never a beach will be close hit well.
- 25:00Speaker 1: Washed down with a bit of Cooper's Palearm, good South
- 25:03Speaker 1: Australian product. I reckon that'd be a good Saturday afternoon
- 25:07Speaker 1: to be perfectly frank, particularly if the weather were nice.
- 25:10Speaker 1: Now over in the UK, they're getting a taste of
- 25:13Speaker 1: what an Australian summer feels like, can you let it?
- 25:16Speaker 1: And they're losing their goddamn minds about it. I think
- 25:19Speaker 1: I heard Peter Kredlen saying earlier this evening, who's currently
- 25:23Speaker 1: in London for the art conference, that had got to
- 25:26Speaker 1: thirty six degrees yesterday in London and they were all
- 25:31Speaker 1: losing their minds. They couldn't believe what was going on,
- 25:36Speaker 1: so much so that apparently you've got buses catching on
- 25:39Speaker 1: fire now over there there was.
- 25:41Speaker 2: An all it was an electric bus.
- 25:43Speaker 1: Electric bus caught fire in London because well, apparently they're
- 25:48Speaker 1: just not built over there to be able to withstand
- 25:51Speaker 1: the heat, which is rather odd. We've got electric buses
- 25:55Speaker 1: all over Sydney and I don't see them blowing up
- 25:57Speaker 1: all the time in the heat. They just bit weak
- 26:00Speaker 1: over there in pommy Land. I think they can't believe
- 26:03Speaker 1: what's going on. They cannot cope with it, but they
- 26:05Speaker 1: don't want you to cope with it, it would seem
- 26:09Speaker 1: because under all these rules and regulations that they brought
- 26:12Speaker 1: in planning rules and regulations when it comes to greeny stuff,
- 26:16Speaker 1: apparently you're not meant to have an air conditioner unless
- 26:21Speaker 1: it's the last resort. You're certainly not meant to use
- 26:23Speaker 1: it unless it's the last resort. And there are literally
- 26:27Speaker 1: inspectors going around in England telling people that they have
- 26:32Speaker 1: to take their air cons off of their homes because
- 26:36Speaker 1: they're illegal, and that they should have ceiling fans instead.
- 26:39Speaker 1: I know they're in a heat wave and they can't
- 26:41Speaker 1: have air cons. This is from the Telegraph cop beload
- 26:44Speaker 1: of this. They report that in one string of cases
- 26:48Speaker 1: that was uncovered by the Telegraph, a resident living in
- 26:50Speaker 1: North London was forced to permanently remove two air con
- 26:54Speaker 1: units from the back of their home. Planning inspectors working
- 26:57Speaker 1: for Camden Council said there was quote no justification for
- 27:02Speaker 1: the air con units and that they failed to comply
- 27:04Speaker 1: with the local authority so called cooling hierarch. Now this
- 27:09Speaker 1: cooling hierarchy, by the way, is that you have to
- 27:13Speaker 1: use every other possible thing before you get the air con.
- 27:16Speaker 1: So in an appeal, the resident was told to open
- 27:19Speaker 1: the windows and balcony doors of their first floor flat
- 27:23Speaker 1: to ventilate the property quote by natural means. They then
- 27:27Speaker 1: said they were concerned about the security, but that was
- 27:29Speaker 1: dismissed and the inspectors said the risk was not as
- 27:32Speaker 1: great as those associated with ground floor windows and that
- 27:37Speaker 1: the windows could be shut at night, and the planning
- 27:40Speaker 1: document said that the main issue quote unquote of concerned
- 27:42Speaker 1: for inspectors was where the quote the need for active
- 27:46Speaker 1: cooling is justified with particular regard to local policies on
- 27:51Speaker 1: energy and The Telegraph also has that another resident was
- 27:55Speaker 1: ordered to remove three air con units from their property
- 27:58Speaker 1: despite complying with all planning requirements. Camden Council planning inspectors
- 28:03Speaker 1: made particular note of the quote absence of ceiling fans
- 28:08Speaker 1: in their home, even though it was not listed as
- 28:11Speaker 1: a requirement. So under these greeny planning rules in the UK,
- 28:17Speaker 1: they're now saying that you've got to have either your
- 28:19Speaker 1: windows open or ceiling fans before you can even consider
- 28:23Speaker 1: putting an air conditioner on your home. And if you
- 28:26Speaker 1: do have one, you better only turn it on when
- 28:28Speaker 1: it's really done hot and you've done everything else with
- 28:31Speaker 1: What is this real life? They're going around telling people
- 28:36Speaker 1: either before or during a heat wave, or take your
- 28:39Speaker 1: air conditioners off your property.
- 28:40Speaker 3: What So, what I'm trying to understand is so right now,
- 28:43Speaker 3: in the middle of a heat wave, we've got students
- 28:45Speaker 3: being sent home from school because it's simply too hot.
- 28:48Speaker 2: They've been told to go home.
- 28:50Speaker 3: You've got construction workers knocking off the job, not being
- 28:52Speaker 3: able to work. They're being told to go home because
- 28:56Speaker 3: you know.
- 28:56Speaker 2: It is too hot. As soon as you get to
- 28:58Speaker 2: your home, you may.
- 28:59Speaker 3: As well stay outside because you can't get cool because
- 29:03Speaker 3: you've got to use a fan, open.
- 29:05Speaker 2: A window, give that a crack.
- 29:06Speaker 3: If it doesn't work, well, too bad, because we're going
- 29:08Speaker 3: to take your airkon away from you anyway.
- 29:10Speaker 4: I just love how there's so much to love about
- 29:13Speaker 4: this story. I mean, honestly, you wonder why Reform is
- 29:16Speaker 4: the number one political party in the UK. It's this joy.
- 29:20Speaker 4: It's kind of like Victoria, you know, road tested on
- 29:23Speaker 4: the global stage. Like what if we took a little
- 29:27Speaker 4: statel like Victoria and made it into a whole country
- 29:29Speaker 4: and that would be the ukay. But so the amazing
- 29:33Speaker 4: thing is that you know, you've got air con as
- 29:35Speaker 4: a last resort, right, quite un quote quite unquote. So
- 29:38Speaker 4: you've got them removing permanently removing air conditioning units right,
- 29:43Speaker 4: put in the proverbial, you know, bureaucratic gun to residence
- 29:46Speaker 4: heads and saying no, you've got to tear those off
- 29:48Speaker 4: your wall, and then say, you know you've got to
- 29:51Speaker 4: open the doors and windows. If that's not enough, I
- 29:54Speaker 4: know you've got to have ceiling fans. And only if
- 29:56Speaker 4: those two things and other things don't work, can you
- 29:59Speaker 4: use the air conditioning. But it's already been repaired of
- 30:02Speaker 4: the wall, it's already wrong, So it's already impossible to
- 30:08Speaker 4: use it as a last resort because they've demanded that
- 30:10Speaker 4: you tear it out. But the amazing thing is that
- 30:13Speaker 4: all this is being done by the people who are
- 30:16Speaker 4: saying that temperatures are going to get even hotter. The
- 30:21Speaker 4: world is burning. Whatever you do there out those air conditioners, I.
- 30:26Speaker 1: Just make it make sense? Is it the emissions caused
- 30:31Speaker 1: by an air con? I don't know how we possibly
- 30:33Speaker 1: do it in Australia or any other part of the whole.
- 30:36Speaker 1: I mean, how they're just so obsessed with it. It's
- 30:40Speaker 1: beyond bizarre because it's your rubio. If indeed it's going
- 30:43Speaker 1: to get hotter and hotter and hotter, as they say
- 30:45Speaker 1: you need the air con.
- 30:48Speaker 3: Well you know what it's like in thirty six degrees
- 30:50Speaker 3: where they're here in Australia.
- 30:51Speaker 4: They did this industry, there would be a revolution.
- 30:54Speaker 2: Can you can you imagine it? I mean, if you
- 30:56Speaker 2: don't like they're.
- 30:57Speaker 1: Only the ear cons down government can tain your.
- 31:01Speaker 3: They can, yes they can, they can. But I remember
- 31:05Speaker 3: when I first moved to Cydney. My apartment didn't have
- 31:07Speaker 3: an air condition and it was the worst summer. It
- 31:08Speaker 3: was a really bad bush fire summer and it was
- 31:11Speaker 3: the worst. Not you need an air I've not.
- 31:13Speaker 1: Had an air com the whole time I've lived in Sydney.
- 31:16Speaker 2: Well how have you managed?
- 31:17Speaker 1: With great difficulty?
- 31:19Speaker 4: Because you in London you could pick up.
- 31:23Speaker 2: But so you would know firsthand what it's like without
- 31:27Speaker 2: a wolf.
- 31:28Speaker 1: And because I of course come from cities with dry heats,
- 31:31Speaker 1: you know, Adelaide boy and I've lived in Melbourne and
- 31:33Speaker 1: it's much more humid here in Sydney. It's absolutely bloody awful.
- 31:38Speaker 1: But the rentals I've lived in don't have air cons
- 31:41Speaker 1: so I've just had to battle through it. I'm living
- 31:43Speaker 1: like a palm.
- 31:44Speaker 2: Well they go Paradise for.
- 31:49Speaker 4: Caleb and you don't actually need air con. If you
- 31:52Speaker 4: want to reduce the temperature, all you need to do
- 31:55Speaker 4: is swap your beef for lentils. Oh that's revolution revolutionary.
- 32:01Speaker 4: That is what the labor government in the UK again,
- 32:05Speaker 4: what would happen if Victoria went global? Labor is encouraging
- 32:09Speaker 4: farmers to swap beef production for lentil production. I assume
- 32:15Speaker 4: it's production. I assume it's not what they're consuming because lentils,
- 32:19Speaker 4: I believe, probably produce more greenhouse gases when you eat.
- 32:22Speaker 4: But anyway, it says the Department for Energy, Food and
- 32:26Speaker 4: Rural Affairs has said farmers will play a critical role
- 32:29Speaker 4: in delivering this transition by adopting practices that reduce emissions
- 32:34Speaker 4: while sustaining productive and commercially viable businesses. So this will
- 32:41Speaker 4: this is all part of the government's farming Roadmap, which
- 32:43Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure a lot of farmers will be using
- 32:47Speaker 4: for purposes other than navigation. But they have basically said
- 32:53Speaker 4: that they need to move away from beef. Mean, all
- 32:56Speaker 4: know that cattle cows methane, which contributes to globalming. But
- 33:03Speaker 4: they're saying lentils, I mean lentils, really humble lentil. There's
- 33:08Speaker 4: dahal and then what else are you got?
- 33:09Speaker 2: Well, isn't this.
- 33:12Speaker 3: Just another labor example over there? How they're just just
- 33:15Speaker 3: trying to destroy prime British agriculture, and we know how
- 33:20Speaker 3: wonderful agriculture is over over in Britain. It also says
- 33:22Speaker 3: the Farming Roadmap includes commitments to increase the use of
- 33:25Speaker 3: robots on farms as well as improved soil health at
- 33:30Speaker 3: the same time. But you know, this is a problem
- 33:32Speaker 3: with the left right. Cows are actually so vital for
- 33:36Speaker 3: food security across any country. You need them to support
- 33:39Speaker 3: a food network for the regions. Of course, it boosts
- 33:42Speaker 3: the regions and it actually helps work in the regions,
- 33:45Speaker 3: so that again labor is going after agriculture.
- 33:48Speaker 4: Beef is also the symbol of Great Britain. What got
- 33:52Speaker 4: roast beef is what got But it's why Britain won
- 33:55Speaker 4: the Napoleonic was and why we're not all speaking French.
- 33:58Speaker 1: It's just you're right. It is like Victoria going global,
- 34:03Speaker 1: isn't it. I just can't get my head. I'm really disappointed. Well,
- 34:07Speaker 1: I don't know if you've been watching, but there's a
- 34:09Speaker 1: new season Clarkson's Farm out.
- 34:11Speaker 4: I don't think he'll be shifting to lentil.
- 34:13Speaker 1: No, no, but I can't wait for the next season
- 34:15Speaker 1: of Clarkson Farm, which presumably will come out next year,
- 34:18Speaker 1: which will include Jeremy Clarkson complaining about the fact that
- 34:22Speaker 1: secure starm has called him up him to put bloody
- 34:25Speaker 1: lentils into his property instead of cattle. It is just ridiculous.
- 34:30Speaker 1: It's like living in an episode of The Young Ones.
- 34:33Speaker 1: Wasn't it lentils men? Or was it mung bells? They
- 34:36Speaker 1: were all on.
- 34:37Speaker 4: And repe rose the seeds eat the seed. Neil from
- 34:43Speaker 4: The Young Ones could be a farmer.
- 34:45Speaker 1: Well correct, and see the problem is that, in the
- 34:49Speaker 1: name of supposedly saving the planet, we've actually got to
- 34:52Speaker 1: the point where people want us to stop progressing and
- 34:55Speaker 1: we're starting to regress, like it's we now have to
- 34:58Speaker 1: accept so you can't have air con. So here we are.
- 35:00Speaker 1: You know, we've fought for human endeavor and inventions and
- 35:06Speaker 1: things to make our lives more comfortable and more enjoyable,
- 35:09Speaker 1: and now we've decided that we're going to take them
- 35:12Speaker 1: all away because apparently they're bad for the planet. So
- 35:15Speaker 1: not only are we going to have to live supposedly
- 35:17Speaker 1: in a planet that's going to be hotter, they're going
- 35:19Speaker 1: to make us all suffer in the process of trying
- 35:22Speaker 1: to stop that from happening. No beef, no air conditioners
- 35:25Speaker 1: in the UK. I mean, what will they take away
- 35:27Speaker 1: from you?
- 35:30Speaker 4: The hippies want us all to look and smell white.
- 35:33Speaker 2: Yeah, the Left have been going after after cows for years.
- 35:37Speaker 2: They've been it's like they have declared a.
- 35:38Speaker 1: War on can mean that I always thought they've got Yeah,
- 35:43Speaker 1: I always thought it would welcome back.
- 35:49Speaker 3: Let's take a look at tomorrow's front pages, Caleb, it's
- 35:52Speaker 3: all about the soccer roos.
- 35:54Speaker 1: Indeed, it is because people are getting geared up by
- 35:56Speaker 1: those long lunches on the front of the Canberra Times tomorrow.
- 36:00Speaker 1: Of course, it's his talk to the hand Soccer US
- 36:03Speaker 1: come to grips with Paraguay. Soccer U's defender Harry Sutta
- 36:07Speaker 1: will be on a mission to block everything Paraguay throws
- 36:10Speaker 1: at him in Australia's twenty twenty six feet for World
- 36:13Speaker 1: Cup clash today today being tomorrow, of course, and if
- 36:18Speaker 1: you happen to be in the nation's capital, there is
- 36:20Speaker 1: a you butte big double sided poster inside of the
- 36:23Speaker 1: newspaper for you to have a gander at. So twelve
- 36:27Speaker 1: pm tomorrow, I do wonder actually how much work will
- 36:32Speaker 1: get done.
- 36:33Speaker 2: None zero zero. It's guarantee part's happening tomorrow apart from here.
- 36:37Speaker 1: At Sky News, where I will be toiling away all day.
- 36:41Speaker 1: But as were my producers, you'll be here as well.
- 36:44Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll be here working on my show, but I
- 36:47Speaker 3: will also have the television on the sign.
- 36:49Speaker 1: Yes, well, I think we'll all be doing that, but
- 36:51Speaker 1: you know, we'll have to keep an eye on the
- 36:52Speaker 1: work as well.
- 36:53Speaker 2: I think we have to keep an eye on you.
- 36:54Speaker 3: You're the one that's suggesting all these long lunches and
- 36:57Speaker 3: boozy affairs. For goodness sake, we are the one that's
- 36:59Speaker 3: in trouble.
- 37:00Speaker 1: Is it too? Early to call in sick.
- 37:02Speaker 2: No, you can't announce yourself now. You bugget that one
- 37:06Speaker 2: up entirely. You got to keep that one from so
- 37:13Speaker 2: he's bugged it up.
- 37:14Speaker 1: You should have.
- 37:14Speaker 3: Started coughing earlier on air and nothing would have been obvious.
- 37:18Speaker 3: Let's take a look at tomorrow's Australian headline. Their Peak
- 37:22Speaker 3: Unions demand to Labor try again.
- 37:24Speaker 2: For an Indigenous voice.
- 37:25Speaker 3: Terrific Trade unions have broken with Anthony Albernezi's decree that
- 37:29Speaker 3: the labor movement movement move on from the failed Indigenous voice,
- 37:34Speaker 3: declaring a legislated or constitutional Aboriginal decision making body is
- 37:38Speaker 3: vital to ending racism in Australia.
- 37:41Speaker 2: In the less than three years following.
- 37:43Speaker 3: The constitutional recognition referendum was voted down by sixty percent
- 37:47Speaker 3: of the country in every state. The Prime Minister has
- 37:50Speaker 3: taken a different path on Indigenous policy, focused on economic
- 37:53Speaker 3: empowerment and veered far away from the identity politics of
- 37:56Speaker 3: the ullary statement of the Heart. But the Australian Council
- 37:59Speaker 3: of Trade Union it's the national peak body for unions
- 38:01Speaker 3: and one of the most powerful players in labor, has
- 38:04Speaker 3: now declared the need for a voice of some form
- 38:06Speaker 3: and demanded the date of Australia Day be moved as
- 38:09Speaker 3: it reinforces structural racism.
- 38:11Speaker 2: Well here we go again.
- 38:12Speaker 3: Firstly, I mean, how well did the Voice to Parliament
- 38:14Speaker 3: go last time? As we've said, sixty percent. But consistently
- 38:18Speaker 3: we see unions, we see organizations, they're not listening to
- 38:23Speaker 3: the will of the people. We don't want an indigenous
- 38:25Speaker 3: voice to Parliament. We've been there, done that. Yet We've
- 38:28Speaker 3: seen states, of course, Joe, that have gone down their
- 38:30Speaker 3: own pathway of the voice. But I'd be shocked if
- 38:34Speaker 3: Labour bows down to the unions for this one.
- 38:36Speaker 2: But seriously, stay in your lane.
- 38:39Speaker 4: It is honestly the stupidest thing I have ever seen.
- 38:42Speaker 4: And in terms of I say, this is someone who's
- 38:45Speaker 4: supported the voice. But you have got, for the first
- 38:48Speaker 4: time in history, a majority of blue collar voters voting
- 38:53Speaker 4: for one nation for the first time in history, a
- 38:56Speaker 4: majority of blue collar voters voting for a party other
- 39:00Speaker 4: the Labor Party the first time in Australian history, the
- 39:03Speaker 4: first time since the Labor Party was formed by blue
- 39:06Speaker 4: collar workers. Most of them are now voting for one nation.
- 39:09Speaker 4: And this is the crap that you think the union
- 39:11Speaker 4: movement should be preoccupied with this is what you think
- 39:15Speaker 4: should be number one on the agenda. It's just it's
- 39:20Speaker 4: like they are trying to write themselves out of relevance.
- 39:25Speaker 4: It is like they are trying to just throw themselves
- 39:28Speaker 4: off a cliff. Read the effing room you moren.
- 39:32Speaker 1: Has Sally McManus taken leave of verse in it's just
- 39:36Speaker 1: in fact, I'll get my team.
- 39:39Speaker 4: The best ideas suggested that everyone just turned their taps
- 39:41Speaker 4: on in the middle of it. Is not worried.
- 39:43Speaker 1: I'd love to have her on the show tomorrow to
- 39:45Speaker 1: have a chat about it, because I just like, why
- 39:48Speaker 1: would you trot this out now? Can you imagine Bill
- 39:52Speaker 1: Keilty and people like.
- 39:53Speaker 4: That going like Labour has got an existential structural crisis understanding.
- 39:58Speaker 4: I talked to people in the party all the time
- 40:00Speaker 4: about this, that one nation is taking what is Labour's
- 40:04Speaker 4: core heartland, It's core voting base, because blue collar voters
- 40:08Speaker 4: no longer feel that the Left is aligned with their
- 40:11Speaker 4: priorities and their concerns, and so they're going to one nation.
- 40:14Speaker 4: Even though one nation has far worse policies for working
- 40:17Speaker 4: class people, They're still going there because the language they
- 40:20Speaker 4: hear from the left makes them think that the labor
- 40:23Speaker 4: movement or people on the left more broadly, are totally
- 40:25Speaker 4: out of touch. And this is the crap that the
- 40:28Speaker 4: ACTU is worried about. It's just it blows my mind.
- 40:33Speaker 4: It is just bonkers. Anyway, let's get to the Daily Telegraph.
- 40:36Speaker 4: Now ripped off at the pump. One in twenty fuel
- 40:41Speaker 4: bowsers is inaccurate. Roll great yard. Nearly one in twenty
- 40:46Speaker 4: fuel pumps is short changing motorists by delivering less fuel
- 40:50Speaker 4: than what is being paid for, while a third of
- 40:52Speaker 4: retailers are failing to fully comply with measurement regulations. And
- 40:56Speaker 4: National Audit has found about three thousand pumps tested at
- 41:01Speaker 4: more than four hundred fuel retailers, and of those, one
- 41:05Speaker 4: hundred and thirty seven had quote inaccurate instruments which resulted
- 41:10Speaker 4: in consumer disadvantage. So amazing, so bad. Of the ones
- 41:14Speaker 4: that were inaccurate, all of these one hundred and thirty
- 41:17Speaker 4: seven resulted in disadvantaging the consumer and not the retailer.
- 41:22Speaker 4: Oh surprise, surprise, those You should play two up with
- 41:25Speaker 4: those odds.
- 41:26Speaker 3: Especially a time as well where fuel is through the roof.
- 41:31Speaker 2: You know, One in twenty that's a lot. That's that's huge,
- 41:35Speaker 2: that's huge. You're being short changed.
- 41:36Speaker 1: Dodgy, dodgy. Imagine how many more schooners you could buy
- 41:39Speaker 1: watching the soccer tomorrow.
- 41:41Speaker 3: For your late lunch if you hadn't been bloody ripped
- 41:43Speaker 3: your boozy lunch.
- 41:44Speaker 2: Toway. He's already prepressive. This is he's just he's still
- 41:47Speaker 2: preparing for his big day.
- 41:48Speaker 4: Even if even if you're ripped off, you know, by
- 41:51Speaker 4: twenty five bucks.
- 41:53Speaker 2: That was a lot of money though, would probably.
- 41:54Speaker 4: Still just be one schooner.
- 41:56Speaker 1: Yeah, these days it is on the front of the
- 42:00Speaker 1: Mercury down in Tazzi tomorrow, something about a two thy one.
- 42:05Speaker 1: Someone sent off a message in the bottle and that's
- 42:07Speaker 1: been Yeah, that's rather interesting. But how about this one
- 42:11Speaker 1: underneath it? Taz under wraps. Tasmania has withdrawn more than
- 42:15Speaker 1: four hundred thousand drivers license images from a national database
- 42:20Speaker 1: because of concerns about a facial recognition system. Between twenty
- 42:23Speaker 1: eighteen and twenty twenty, Tasmania uploaded about four hundred and
- 42:27Speaker 1: thirty thousand drivers license images to a section of the
- 42:31Speaker 1: National Driver License Facial Recognition Solution, which is very nicely
- 42:37Speaker 1: abbreviated into the acronym of indy LFRS, which no one
- 42:41Speaker 1: has ever seated except for me. But the state government,
- 42:45Speaker 1: it says, is unconvinced by claims sorry that the now
- 42:50Speaker 1: operational system helps to protect people from identity theft and quote,
- 42:54Speaker 1: prevent crime, increase road safety and improve identity verification. And
- 42:59Speaker 1: I have to say I don't say this very often
- 43:01Speaker 1: about the Tasmanian government these days, but good on them
- 43:04Speaker 1: for pulling out of this thing, because you know, facial
- 43:08Speaker 1: for recognition is the next vanguard basically in government monitoring
- 43:13Speaker 1: and policing, etc. I mean, it's already being used in
- 43:16Speaker 1: some parts of the world to monitor your mood so
- 43:19Speaker 1: they can target advertising in train stations. They've done that
- 43:22Speaker 1: on the Tube in London.
- 43:24Speaker 2: And the social media band they used to face it.
- 43:27Speaker 1: I'm concerned about how all encompassing this has become.
- 43:30Speaker 4: I don't know. I mean, my face gets recognized all
- 43:32Speaker 4: the time and it's great, but.
- 43:33Speaker 3: This was the main concern that I had initially with
- 43:36Speaker 3: even the social media band, was the facial recognition technology, like,
- 43:40Speaker 3: where does that?
- 43:41Speaker 2: Where does it go? Where does that? You know? Whence
- 43:43Speaker 2: it's uploaded a.
- 43:45Speaker 4: Giant tech company, Well, you know, the funny thing about
- 43:47Speaker 4: that bottle. Though, by the way, this is this I
- 43:49Speaker 4: know actually put it on the list, but they put
- 43:52Speaker 4: they put a message in a bottle in twenty one,
- 43:54Speaker 4: twenty five years ago. Do you know what the message said? Nothing?
- 43:58Speaker 4: Just said if you find this pot, or can you
- 44:01Speaker 4: send it to this address or call this number so
- 44:03Speaker 4: I can find out where it ended up. Nothing. Not
- 44:07Speaker 4: like although that's pretty cool, but that's not like you
- 44:09Speaker 4: knows evolutionary No, my name is you know Edna. I
- 44:12Speaker 4: live in Tasmania.
- 44:14Speaker 2: You have it's not revolutionist. Put that way.
- 44:17Speaker 3: Let's take a look at the Gold Coast bulletin. Now
- 44:19Speaker 3: three hundred thousand dollars but no staff. A new three
- 44:23Speaker 3: hundred thousand dollar manager's position has been created at Gold
- 44:26Speaker 3: Coast City Council, but no one will report to them.
- 44:28Speaker 3: It's understood counselors asked officers about the new appointment, and
- 44:32Speaker 3: we're told the salary package was six figures at a
- 44:35Speaker 3: closed session recently.
- 44:36Speaker 2: Well that's it. I mean, there's a great gig if
- 44:39Speaker 2: you can get it. You've got pretty much zero response.
- 44:41Speaker 2: Three hundred thousand dollars and zero responsibility. No one, you know,
- 44:44Speaker 2: no one has to report to you. You just sworn
- 44:46Speaker 2: about do whatever you want. I think it's great, and restore.
- 44:48Speaker 4: Your faith in council efficiency, wouldn't I know?
- 44:50Speaker 1: Indeed that's the job you want. If you would watch
- 44:53Speaker 1: the stoper tomorrow.
- 44:54Speaker 4: It's actually the most efficient you could possibly get the
- 44:57Speaker 4: head of the Department of One.
- 44:59Speaker 1: Get it all done.
- 45:00Speaker 3: Yeah that said, all right, we're going to take a
- 45:02Speaker 3: quick break. Coming up next, students given bake university degrees
- 45:06Speaker 3: at a graduation at a Queensland UNI.
- 45:08Speaker 2: We'll tell you why next. Welcome back, Well, One Nation's fire.
- 45:15Speaker 3: The liar campaign is haunting Anthony Albanesi.
- 45:19Speaker 2: Like a ghost. Have a look at these fire.
- 45:22Speaker 3: The lyre trucks that rocked up outside of Parliament House today.
- 45:26Speaker 3: This is the They are the same trucks that were
- 45:29Speaker 3: sent to mister Albanesi's Sydney office.
- 45:31Speaker 2: I guess it's a bit of.
- 45:32Speaker 3: A revenge campaign, but gosh, we're absolutely loving it. This
- 45:35Speaker 3: campaign has now raised would you believe, five million dollars?
- 45:40Speaker 3: Five million dollars, which is incredible. So there they are,
- 45:43Speaker 3: the trucks rolling into Parliament House today. Anthony Albanesi, he
- 45:47Speaker 3: just can't escape them.
- 45:48Speaker 1: I can just imagine what the Prime Minister would use.
- 45:50Speaker 4: I'll go get tracked, or you could I would twist
- 45:54Speaker 4: it and say, oh, look, if the people are giving
- 45:57Speaker 4: five million bucks to one nation, how bad can the
- 45:59Speaker 4: cost of living really good?
- 46:03Speaker 2: That's actually not bad that bad at all?
- 46:06Speaker 1: Maybe, I mean, you know, it's probably more to the
- 46:08Speaker 1: point that, you know, even despite the cost of living crisis,
- 46:11Speaker 1: they're so incensed by what your mate has been doing.
- 46:15Speaker 1: Very good last half empty handing their money over to
- 46:18Speaker 1: one nation. But there will be plenty more where that
- 46:20Speaker 1: came from. I suspect. Now we'll be we've been talking
- 46:23Speaker 1: about the World Cup tonight, and now if you're going
- 46:27Speaker 1: to go to the pub tomorrow, just be glad that
- 46:29Speaker 1: you're in Australia, where, despite swim Dusty One singing about
- 46:32Speaker 1: the pub with no beer, you're probably guaranteed of a
- 46:36Speaker 1: cold one. But it may not be so if you're
- 46:39Speaker 1: in certain parts of Vancouver, because apparently the Aussies are
- 46:42Speaker 1: drinking the buggers dry over there. A general manager of
- 46:46Speaker 1: a sports bar in Vancouver called Dublin Calling has said
- 46:50Speaker 1: that he's been in a spot of bother because they noticed,
- 46:54Speaker 1: you know, that was busier than they even expected and
- 46:57Speaker 1: He said that on Saturday at around three m Tyler
- 47:00Speaker 1: Brower is the general manager. He said, around three pm,
- 47:03Speaker 1: we noticed that we were getting pretty low on beers. Australians,
- 47:06Speaker 1: he said, were purposely trying to drink us dry. So
- 47:10Speaker 1: we had to rush and get twenty kegs of lager.
- 47:13Speaker 1: And they've now ordered two hundred more kings to deal
- 47:16Speaker 1: with the influx, and no doubt they'll be in there
- 47:18Speaker 1: tomorrow trying to drink them dry again. You know, Ossie's,
- 47:22Speaker 1: they're doing us proud wherever they go.
- 47:24Speaker 3: But this is why, this is why Ozzie's have a
- 47:25Speaker 3: reputation for being big drinkers.
- 47:27Speaker 2: Every time you're overseas. Overseas they go, oh the gosh,
- 47:29Speaker 2: the Oussi's drink a lot.
- 47:30Speaker 4: Very unfairly friend that we're trying to drink you dry.
- 47:33Speaker 4: That's just kind of like a side effect. That's just
- 47:37Speaker 4: that just happens.
- 47:38Speaker 1: They're doing their bit for the they're just.
- 47:41Speaker 2: Having a quiet on the plus side.
- 47:43Speaker 3: On the plus side, these pubs would be absolutely stock
- 47:46Speaker 3: the amount of money that they're getting during this World
- 47:49Speaker 3: Cup cupcab raking it.
- 47:51Speaker 4: In say that particular Irish pub is rolling in Clover,
- 47:55Speaker 4: Oh that was and finally not. As mentioned earlier, a
- 47:59Speaker 4: unifsity has been handing fake degrees to its students because
- 48:05Speaker 4: it never got around to the vice chancellor actually signing
- 48:10Speaker 4: the real ones. Deacon University again, just infer the evidence
- 48:15Speaker 4: that Victoria is just a completely failed state. Deacon University
- 48:19Speaker 4: students have received fake degree certificates their graduations in an
- 48:23Speaker 4: embarrassing move sparked by the recent resignation of Vice Chancellor
- 48:27Speaker 4: Ian Martin. Hundreds of students were blind sided by getting
- 48:32Speaker 4: a degree that was just a generic degree. Others opened
- 48:36Speaker 4: envelopes to find there was nothing in them, and one student,
- 48:39Speaker 4: Michelle Reeve, flew all the way from the Sunshine Coast
- 48:42Speaker 4: in Queensland to get her Diploma of Psychological Science and
- 48:46Speaker 4: instead return whoops.
- 48:48Speaker 3: I mean only in Victoria when something like this happened,
- 48:51Speaker 3: wouldn't it.
- 48:51Speaker 2: Gentlemen, Thank you, thank you for your company. Stay tuned.
- 48:54Speaker 2: The Rita pane Hey Show is next.
- 48:55Speaker 4: Good Night,
