  Speaker 1: Late welcome, lait pay.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Good evening and thanks for joining us.
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: I'm James macpherson with Liz Storer and Joe Hildebrand coming
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: up tonight. You think the housing crisis is bad, it's
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: much worse than that. We'll show you a little later.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: Blocks of Sydney, blocks of land in Sydney. They're tiny
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: blocks selling for one well over a million dollars. And
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: here's the real amazing part of it. They're not vacant
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: and wait until you see what's on them. Plus, when
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: we look at the papers, a Muslim group favoring the
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: Liberal Party at the election in order to get back
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: at Labor for their gaza policy. And of course special
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: tributes to our diggers as the newspapers mark the one
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: hundred and ten year anniversary of Anzac David.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Let's start with the federal election.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Of course, it's still nine days away, but early voting
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: has already started and the early results are quite remarkable.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: Exit polling conducted by the Daily Telegraph, who interviewed four
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: thousand people Acrossteen regional seats as they left polling booths,
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: found the government's primary vote has increased by four point
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: six percent.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Now that's remarkable when.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: You can see that typically it's conservatives who vote early.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: You'll see there the coalition's vote has increased by two
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: point eight percent.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: But here's the really fascinating part.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: Have a look.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: They're at one nation. Their vote is just two point
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: five percent. That's their primary vote, fifty percent down on
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: what it was at.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: The last election.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: Now here's the bit I want to understand. Maybe Liz
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: and Joe can help me. The latest News poll had
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: one Nation polling at seven percent, and yet exit polling
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: shows them at just two point five percent. That's a
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: massive discrepancy. So listen, Joe, what's going on. How do
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: you explain that.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: I'm glad you asked. I have come up with a
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: new electoral phenomenon. It's copyrighted, so don't try to steal it.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: You heard it here first. Like we had the shy
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: Trump voter in the US, I think we have this
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: shy one nation voter in Australia. And there's a couple
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: of interesting things about this pole. One is that, as
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: you say, usually early polling in the old days used
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: to favor conservatives, and that was because it was often
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: older people who wanted to do it, and they tend
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: to skew conservative. They don't want to be lining up
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: in the in the heat and the sun all day
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: at night, so they get out and do it. And
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: so that is maybe even why you've seen a bit
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: of a jump in the coalition's primary vote as well.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: But of course we're seeing a much much bigger jump
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: in the labor vote. Now, you cannot take any of
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: this hugely sit It's really interesting, but it's really really rough.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: So these are people who have already made up their minds.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: So by definition, they're so made up their minds they
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: are not even interested in what the next week and
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: a half happens. You know, someone could be shot dead
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: in the main street, someone could turn out to be
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: Zoro or Jack the Ripper, they wouldn't care, right, they're
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: voting for the US, so they're rusted on, so that
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: tends to favor the major parties. So you're seeing here
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: massive dealer in the number of people who are voting
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: for others. So tiny minor parties and Independence Green stay
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: about the same because those voters are pretty rusted on
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: as well. But like you say, the thing that really
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: jumped out at me it was this tiny, little one
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: nation vote. And I think another thing that's going on
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: is that exit polls are the only polls now I
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: don't think even.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Roy Morgan does face to face anymore.
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: They are the only polls where the polster actually asks
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: you how you're going to vote, or indeed how you
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: actually voted, face to face, so you are looking another
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: human being in an eye. And I think that skews
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: it massively, well massively towards more progressive parties, because I
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: think people will sort of virtue signaling and they don't
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: want to feel like they're just voting for the tax
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: cut or whatever they can get in their pocket or whatever,
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: or to keep the immigrants out or whatever, but especially
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: with a party. And again this came up again and
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: again and again, and it was controversial and it's been disputed,
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: but it looks pretty obvious that it was there, this
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: idea that people were telling polsters, oh, no, I'm not
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: voting for Donald Trump, and then away they would go go.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: And I think people are doing it right there, because
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: as you say, one nation was at five percent last
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: time around, that's double what they've come up here. And
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: since then we've seen a jump in newspoll. Just a
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: week ago of another two percent, so seven percent. So
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: I think there is a shy one Nation voter out there,
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: and I think when it comes to the Independence and
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: the other tiny parties, what you're seeing is people who
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: are thinking, maybe I will actually ditch both of them
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: and go to someone new. They're the sort of people
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: you would think a politic, very sort of what you
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: might call high informational people who are very engaged with
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: the process. They're going to wait it out until polling
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: day and that's when I'll put it down. So there
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: you go.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: What do you think, Liz, you're buying that shy Yeah.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Isn't that interesting though, that the society is such at
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: the moment that you wouldn't just stare down barrel and
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: tell the exit polar one nation all the way, baby,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: they're the ones who represent my views, if you are correct, Joe.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: That's what we're a sent saying. People are like, oh,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: much like the Trump shy Trump voters. They're just like, well, actually,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to say that that will get me
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: publicly disparaged.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: But given I'm talking.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: To someone in person, I'm just going to tell a furfy.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: That's basically what we're saying here. But I think it's
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: remarkable that one in twenty five Australians that basically means
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: a million people have already voted within forty eight hours
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: of early polling. I think that reflects the mood of
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: the nation really. People just want to get this over
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: and done with. As we said when the campaign was finally,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: oh it's officially happening, we felt like it had been
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: going for months already.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: I think people just want to get to early polling.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Goodness knows how many votes will be left to cast
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: by the time we actually have polling day if we
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: keep up this rate.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: So that is another really really good point, And I'm sorry,
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: I just had my head in this like for weeks now,
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: and now that's actually happening. So that the Australian Electrical
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: Commission itself said we expect to have about a third
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: of people vote early, which would be in itself a record.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: The Australian National University that actually we think it could
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: be up to a half. Sources have spoken to in
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: the labor parties say it will be more than a half.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: So by the time we actually get to polling day,
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: more than half of Australian voters will have already voted
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: before the public.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Help understand the history here, because I think prior to
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: twenty ten you have to provide a writtenism reason for
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: voting early.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: Why was that kind of COVID. I've called it the
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: sort of the civic equivalent of working from home. So
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: clearly what has happened is people have realized that they
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: don't actually have to line up on polling day, they
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: can vote early, they can go away for the weekend,
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: they don't need to be anywhere or whatever. And basically
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: and then COVID of course happened, and so people were encouraged.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: Even though our election didn't quite coincide with lockdowns. Scott
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: Morrison got elected just before it hit, and then Anthony
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: Alberneze got elected just as the restrictions are being east.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: But there was still that idea, like with working from home,
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: that if you can avoid crowds, it's probably that's.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: A convenience, right, But in terms of a healthy democracy,
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: wouldn't it be better to prevent early polling so that
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: people listen to both sides, listen to all they have
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: to say, and then we vote as a country rather
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: than in dribs and drabs.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Over two weeks with not having heard the arguments.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: It means that the parties who are fully aware of
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: when early voting happens need to roll out their policy sooner,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: especially things as huge as oh, an extra twenty one
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: billion on national security on defense. I mean that could
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: have been who knows, not quite a game changer, but
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: it could have made a dent had they announced that
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: two weeks prior. But it's been utterly it is fried
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: my brain. How late both of the major parties have
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: announced some of their most major policies that they're taking
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: to the election, when in fact the election has already been.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: And also again just to go full nerd, just to
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: get my geek on, it means that the amount of
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: votes that Peter Dutton needs to win increases exponentially as
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: it gets closer and closer to polling day. So, for example,
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: if he's got people voting early when he's down forty
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: eight fifty two, even if he has a miracle turnaround
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: and he's ahead fifty two forty eight in the last week,
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: that's not enough to get him over the line because
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: he's got to scramble and get back all the votes
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: that he's already lost or rather over compensate for all
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: the votes he's already lost, and that is very hard
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: to do. And we also have this thing we're doing
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: at news Court where we're do this is called voter verdict,
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: where we have a kind of tracking group of undecided voters.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: And these are actually undecided voters. And this week it
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: was very very interesting. There was point one between them.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: So we get them to each rank, We get them
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: to each rank the leader's performance over the past week
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: out of ten and it was I won't say who won,
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: but it was very low scores, like six to five
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: point nine as a result. So it's very much a
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: pox on both your houses. And so that tells me
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: that these early results, which has would favor the two
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: major parties, we're actually going to see a blowout to
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: groups like One Nation, the TLS Independence.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: We want to move on, but I've just one more
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: quick question on this topic. Yes, that might be of
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: interest to people, the huge number of early votes. Does
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: that mean a result will be known quicker on election now?
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: No? No, no, because they no matter what happens. I
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: call it it's like Schrodinger's cat, you know, the thought
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: experiment where there's a cat in a box, but you
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: can't see it, so you don't know if it's alive
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: or dead. And so the cat is both alive and
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: dead as far as anyone knows until you open the box,
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: and it.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Makes no difference.
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: No, that's right. So you cannot start counting votes no
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: matter what, until six pm on polling day, and so
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: that's when it all comes out. The fact that there
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: are so many prepoles means they'll probably be counted faster
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: because they can all be gathered into the one spot
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: and be ready to go as soon as you hit
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: six o'clock. So it's good because you get an earlier result.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: But but no, you can't do anything, so there's no
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: way to know how the result's going and then try
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: to counter against it.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: That would be a massive spoiler, wouldn't it be? Like, Well,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: out of the millions of pre bol votes, this is
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: how it's looking.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: But we'll get the rest and let you know after
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: six pm.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Well, with the one hundredth and tenth and zach Day
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: ceremony is about to take place tomorrow. Police have massively
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: stepped up security at war memorials throughout the country after
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: an obscene what can you even call this there is
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: nothing words cannot quantify how disgusting it is when we
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: see a war memorial defaced in this country. And that's
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: exactly what happened last week at a small town in Dorago.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: It was over one hundred years old. This monument you're
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: looking at now, it was established by diggers themselves who
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: had returned from war, was erected in nineteen twenty one,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: made of Italian marble, and some absolute idiots last week
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: took it upon themselves to climb the statue and somehow
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: chisel out of the hand of the soldier that you
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: saw there the rifle that he was holding. One man
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: and one woman have been arrested for this crime, and
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: it's just obscene that we see that. In this case,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: it's not a bunch of kids. It's not a bunch
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: of kids who we've seen in the past on social
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: media with some rock and roll music in the background boasting.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Of their exploits.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: These are clearly adults, from what we understand, have been
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: arrested and charged for this. And this is in a town,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: like I say, where it was erected by the diggers,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: So they're families, many of them still living in the
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: town have lived to see this utter disgraceful treatment of
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: the ultimate sacrifice that their ancestors made.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: The other thing about tomorrow's memorial events is that police
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: have said they've already got twenty four to seven security
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: as you mentioned around war memorials. The right police will
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: be on duty in Sydney tomorrow to guard our servicemen
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: and women as they parade.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: It's just shocking to think.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: We've reached a point in our country where Ann's a
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: Day is now so contentious that we've got to guard
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: memorials in the lead up. We've got to have the
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: right police on standby for people who are supposed to
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: be honored and lauded for their sacrifice. They need to
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: be protected from a small but dangerous minority who hate
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: our country.
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: It's absolutely staggering, and it's being fueled, it seems. I mean,
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: we're already looking at an election that's really really ugly
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: in parts because division and anger is being stoked over
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: the Israel Palestine conflict. There is i'm told, a door
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: knocking campaign in the Inner West which is basically draw
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: knock for Palestine. So just go no not you know,
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: and some eighty year old pension opens the door, where
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: do you stand on Israel versus Palestine? Like what the
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: just insane? Obviously the Muslim vote and Muslim votes matter
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: movements are going after that as a single issue. In
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: Southwest Sydney where the's a highline population. We know that
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: there has been vandalism of Australian War memorial sites that
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: the Greens failed to condemn. We know, I remember years ago,
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: I believe there was some neo Nazi material, white spremaces
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: material that was at the war memorial in Hyde Park.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: There was some weird French backpacker accidentally who vandalized the
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: cenotaph in Martin Place when he was pissed, but I
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: just had to mention because I think he was French.
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: But point being, there is a very deliberate attempt it
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: seems to stir up this kind of stuff. You can
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: imagine the sort of people who love to deface and
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: vandalize Captain Cook statues and stuff like that, and you
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: just sort of wonder how far are we kind of
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: kind of let all this stuff go before you say,
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: you know what, maybe take your art's degree and go elsewhere.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: Well, whatever anger there is regarding Anzac Day, it's nothing
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: compared to the anger in Victoria that still exists over
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: former Premier Dan Andrews.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Now you'll know that.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: This week it was revealed Dan andrews introduction of a
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: curfew that lasted two months in Melbourne was not at
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: all in response to health advice. It came from cabinet,
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: which of course he led.
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: Dan Andrews has been out of politics for a while
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: and just wants to enjoy his life playing golf, but
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: increasingly he's finding there's no golf course in the state
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: of Victoria that will have him, most recently the Portsa
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: Golf Course. Sorry, originally he went to Portsy and wanted
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: to play there. Steve Price, one of our Sky News colleagues,
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: famously said he would tear up his own membership if
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: Dan Andrews was admitted.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: Then Dan Andrews went to the National of them.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: Paired up on the course together, taking each other's scores down. Well.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: Then when he couldn't get a shot at Portsy, dan
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: Andrews went to the National Golf Club. A letter was
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: sent to the leaders of that golf club from all
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: the members saying if you allow Dan Andrews to join,
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: there will be a mass rebellion, so that never happened.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: Dan Andrews reportedly was at the driving range at Kingston
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: Heath and members who were on the course at the
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: time seeing him there just abandoned the course in protest.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: So he just hasn't been able to find anywhere to play,
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: though I suspect there's probably some golf courses in China
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: that would welcome him, but the moona Linx golf course
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: in the Mornington Peninsula is the latest course to advise
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: members that despite apparent attempts by Dan Andrews to join,
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: they won't be allowing him to become a member there either.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: I suppose that Dan Andrews should be grateful that restaurants, gymnasiums,
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: bars and shops don't follow suit in the state of Victoria. Personally, Liz,
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: I don't like this. I think people should be allowed
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: to get on with your life, whatever our differences. But
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: the problem we've got, especially when it comes to something
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: like COVID where.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: People's human rights were trashed.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: Is there's been no public reckoning. There's been no official accountability.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: We've been told there would be a royal commission, and
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: of course there has not been and doesn't look like
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: there ever will be, and so people are rightly furious
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: and thinking, well, if the government won't hold each other accountable,
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: well we'll do it ourselves on the golf course.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Indeed, naturally people are taking matters into their own hand,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: and they've got every right to. We cannot underestimate how
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: much these people suffered under this premiere. I still can't
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: believe he got reelected after that, but it goes to
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: show what kind of evoting catchment is hanging out at
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: these golf clubs. He is now a carier in his
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: own state. He's an outcast in his own state. He
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: can't find a golf course in which to hit around
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: a few balls, and I think that speaks volumes. It
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: was just in the past week alone that we learned
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: that his curfew to lock down five million Victorians over
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: the course of twenty twenty and twenty twenty one, when
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: almost one in ten Victorians were saying I have seriously
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: considered taking my own life over the last thirty days.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: That was a survey that was published in peer review
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: journals around the world. The research was so extensive. That
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: was the survey that came out in September of twenty
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: twenty in his state, and he kept going with these curfews,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: which we've just discovered weren't even the idea of the
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: health experts. So not only was it not health advice,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: those guys came out and said, this wasn't even our idea.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: We didn't even conceive this. It was Dan Andrews and
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: his cabinet who took it upon themselves to make sure
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: that Victorians had to have a permit to leave their
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: own house. Is so, I think whatever befalls this man
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: in terms of being kicked out of clubs, et cetera
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: and so on, he deserves every single bitter.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: Now, it was personal because he banned golf was too dangerous.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: The COVID would get you if you were teeming off
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: on the at first.
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: This is one of the differences. I've never swung a
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: club in anger or otherwise for that matter. And this
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: was one of I having to live next door to
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: the royal and ancient Marrickville Public golf Course, and I've
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: never sun was there, but I do walk past it
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: every day and I just see all these weekend hackers,
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: you know, come out in their board shorts and you know,
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: smack the ball around a bit, and it's very much
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: the sort of working class kind of club and sort
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: of going out and going for my little jogs or whatever,
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: walks or whatever. And seeing them people are able to
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: do that and just have a bit of a laugh
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: and a chat with a may actually made me. It
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: actually cheered me up. It sounds weird, but it actually
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: really cheered me out. In the middle of lockdown as well,
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: I thought, all least someone's having a good time. And
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: to me, that was the critical difference between the Victorian
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: government response and say, the New south Well's government response,
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: where the Victorians lets just locked down everything. I mean,
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: let's not forget these are people who shut down playgrounds
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: after they saw parents talking to each other while watching
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: their kids play. I mean, this is a weird kind
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: of psychotic response to a crisis. Like the lack of
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: humanity there, the lack of sort of empathy or compatity
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: just I find that impossible to comprehend. And so yes,
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: you know it's hard to feel any sympathy, but I'm
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: with you. I kind of think this is like it's
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: like a sort of pylon now and it's a part.
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: It's like a ha, and it doesn't actually fix the problem.
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: It doesn't even shed light on the problem. But it's
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: kind of like, no, but he does. It's almost like
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: that he deserves so much more. What he deserves is
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: to have everything that he did laid out in public.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: You know what we is he doing? What was his
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: chuckling Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton doing when he was
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: just nodding along beside him, like, you know, like what actually?
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: But in the absence of that which we know, let's
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: be real, we're never going to get it suffer. I
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: think this is marvelous. People have taken it into their
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: own hands that this is our golf club. We love this,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: This is where we come to commune together to be happy.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Namely a golfer who doesn't absolutely love the sport. The
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: last thing they want to see is the guy who's
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: terrorized them.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: Four years punting around on their golf. I totally get.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: I'm like you, I get the sentiment. I just don't lie.
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: It's kind of it's not quite an eye for an eye.
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: The punishment doesn't quite fit the crime. It almost trivializes
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: what happened, like if it was all the school kids
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: who had disappeared out of the school system because of lockdowns.
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: If it was them sort of doing a stax on
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: in the playground, maybe that would be slightly more prom it.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: But do you know what parents instead, that's who it is.
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: Well, no, it's not, because it's the parents who are
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: the members of these golf clubs. They're not the really
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: vulnerable families who have gone missing out of the state system.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: That's the problem.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: So well, I'm sure the vulnerable families are backing this move.
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: Well, I think they're just they're just gone. This is
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: the problem that's gone. But you know what Dan Andrews'
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: Twitter profile is these days, it is just two words
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: keen golfers, socialist where it hurts.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Well, if you think the world couldn't get any crazier, crazier.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: The UK Parliament is about to try and dim the sun.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: Yes you heard that correctly, Experiments to dim the sun
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: in bid to curb global warming. The headline of the
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Daily Mail reads. Now, I wouldn't have thought that UK,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: of all the places in the world, needed to dim
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: the sun. They get just fifteen hundred and thirty hours
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: of sunshine on average per year.
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: That good research.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: It's absolutely insane. You guys spend most of the time
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: under cloudy skies, So don't know why you're the ones
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: who have taken to geoengineering the atmosphere in order to
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: dim it. Can you imagine how infuriated Brits are by this?
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: They love their sunny days.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: They literally take days off work, call in six to
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: get a bit of vitamin D and get this, they're
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: forking out fifty million pounds to make this happen.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Yes, how are they going to do it? Great?
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Great question? We read in the Daily Mail. Outdoor trials
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: could include injecting aerosoults into the atmosphere or brightening clouds
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: to reflect sunshine back into space. That is, the government's
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Advanced Research and Invention Agency ARIA has set aside fifty
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: million pounds for projects, which will be announced in the
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: coming weeks.
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Professor Mark Simes, who's the program director for ARIA, says,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: we have strong requirements around the length of time experiments
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: can run for and the reversibility, and we won't be
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: funding the release of any toxic substances to the environment.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: I'm sure that's very very reassuring, not to the Brits
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: who are like, excuse me, what are you putting into
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: our atmosphere to dim our sun. Now, many experts have
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: come out in fact saying that this risks backfiring spectacularly
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: and making the climate change much worse by triggering destructive
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: weather patterns. They say it's a risky strategy that could
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: wreak havoc on weather patterns, triggering droughts, triggering cyclones. Even
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: they just saying, you can't mess with this without potential
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: really bad.
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: Ah, that's just that's just more alarmism from you. Climate
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: alarmisliz any experts. It's experts now. I'm pretty in fact,
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: I'm sure I've seen someone do this before. I'm sure
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: someone actually did this and it was totally fine. I
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: think we've got the I think we've got the footage
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: of it. It was just a piece of cake. A look.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: Imagine being able to bring light and the warmth to
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: the darkest parts of the world. Imagine being able to
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: grow crops the year round, bringing an end to hunger.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: Imagine a second summer.
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: In the sky. Yes, that was Professor Mark Simes from
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: the Advanced Research and Invention. To be very clear, he
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: was out to Kylie Minogue and Missy Higgins instead of
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: getting involved in this sort of.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: The climate catastrophes to the UK are taking their cues
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: from James Bond villains.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: Apparently.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: My question is are these the same scientists who designed
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: the COVID nineteen virus.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: That's what I want, hope not.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: I think the geo engineering ones are a difference.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: If you're high.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: But what's easier getting China to stop building coal fired
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: power stations or.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: Blocking out the knocking out the sun?
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: And it doesn't take own sense because at the same
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: time the UK government are saying we are going to
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: power our country using solar panels while blocking out the sun.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: Tell me how that makes any sense at all?
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: Is it?
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Do they really have solar panels in the UK?
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: That's just sad, And.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: We told that you know, CO two are naturally occurring
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: gas that in the atmosphere is bad, But we're going
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: to pump aerosols into the atmosphere and that's fine, and
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: that's going to be fine. Absolutely, none of this makes
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: any sense at all possible.
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: It's all just a sinister plot. It's got nothing to
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: do with the environment or climate change at all, and
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: it's all just to stop jawdy boys from taking their
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: shirts off every time the temperature gets above nineteen degrees.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: The thing that really scares me is Professor Mark Steins
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: has said, you know, we're going to spend fifty million
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: pounds on this, and the computer modeling it works.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: We just need to try it in real life a model.
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: Actly.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you another thing.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: I don't understand this and I need you to explain
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: it to me, and that's the Trump meme coins that
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: are now worth I think they're worth like two points
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: something billion dollars Trump has made out of these things.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: Yes, explain it to an old man. Help me understand
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: what is going on with these trum.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to try and explain blockchain technology or
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: cryptocurrency to anyone because that would be the rest of
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: the show and then some. But basically, just before the
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: inauguration on January twenty, the Trump team announced their own
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Trump Meme coin. Now, this thing shot through the roof initially,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: but since the inauguration has lost seventy percent of its
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: value since that peak in January. So the Trump scene says, Okay,
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: we've got to get the value of our mean coin
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: back up. They have a vested interest, given eighty percent
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: of the token supply is owned by Trump's organization and
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: affiliated entities read friends and family. So they go on
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: their website and they say, the next twenty five top
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: holders of Trump Meme coins are going to get dinner.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: With the president.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: You're going to get your own private tour of the facility.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: You're going to have a sit down.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Intimate dinner with Donald Trump itself. Well, this thing shot
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: up by fifty percent overnight, so they'd lost seventy percent.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: It's back up by fifty as people race to be
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: among the twenty five top holders of Trump mean coins. Now,
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: I know what you're thinking. Hang on a minute. Isn't
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: this cryptocurrency stuff. It's essentially useless and the only value
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: it has is the value we attribute to it.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: Yes, basically you're right.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Crypto is there's no underlying product or service to crypto, right,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: But in this case, the value was a dinner with
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: the man himself, and hey it you got to hand
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: it to them.
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: But isn't like, I know people say that about crypto
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: and I'm not into bitcoin or whatever it is, But
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: it isn't that just like everything like isn't every like
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: I'm there all these things you can buy and sell
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: on the share markets that aren't actually stopped in any companies.
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: They're derivatives, their futures markets. You're doing a put. I
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: don't know what they are. I've got actually no shares whatsoever.
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: And even hard so called hard currency, you.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: Know, like if I pull out, has no real value.
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: Well that's a hard currency. This has no This is
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: a bank note. This started life as a promissory note
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: that said, you know, look, sorry, we can't give you
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: any real money because there's a war on I think
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: it started. The Civil War was the one where it
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: really started big. But we're going to give you this
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: bit of paper that says we the US government owe
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: you fifty dollars and you can take this to a
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: bank whenever you need the money, and we'll give you
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: actually fifty real dollars in return. And so none of
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: this actual.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: Before you put that away, since you say it has
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: no actual value, what I'm i to.
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: Create it for you? I should get you a coffee
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: at City Airport.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Also, quickly, a correction to what I said before. Trump
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: team didn't say the top twenty five. They said the
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: top two hundred and twenty. So they were going gangbusters
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: because of course twenty five people that's only a very
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: small chair. But can you make it into the top
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty, that's even smarter. Having recast my
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: eye over the number that they actually promised dinner to.
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: I'll tell you what.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: Well. Trump is going gangbusters with his meme coin.
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: The Democrats are struggling to find their identity, having been
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: trounced at the last election. But Bernie Sanders and AOC
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: and unlikely Peering, if ever there was one, they're touring
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: the country denouncing the rich, standing up for the working class,
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: and denouncing extreme wealth. The problem was, of course, that
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: they're doing all of this flying in a private jet
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: that they're chartering for twenty three eight.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Thousand dollars an hour.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: Nothing says standing up for the working class like flying
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: around the country at twenty three thousand dollars an hour
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: in a private jet. And of course they're both environmentalists.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: As well e HO warrior.
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: They are warning Americans that if they're not careful, then
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: they end up with an oligarchy. And it's one of
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: those things Bernie Sanders has been saying for a while now.
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: I think he believes if he says it enough times,
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: eventually it will come true.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: Have a look at this.
• 30:31
  Speaker 5: This great country of hours is moving very rapidly in
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: the direction of Alakhaki. United States of America today is
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: increasingly becoming an Oligochy, more and more moving toward in Aligocky.
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: We are moving in the direction of alligchy. We will
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: move even more rapidly in the direction of an Allergochic.
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: This great country is evolving into an oligoutic society. It
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: is called Aligocky, and that is the system we are
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: rapidly moving toward. This is a budget that moves our
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: country rapidly into the direction of Aligochi. The handful of
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: billionaires are moving this entire planet toward an aligarchic society.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: So Bernie Sanders has been sounding that alarm for more
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: than twenty years. Meanwhile, his partner in crime, AOC. She's
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: just working on her accent.
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: Donald Trump is a criminal who was found guilty of
• 31:13
  Speaker 6: thirty four felony counts, a fraud, liable for sexual abuse.
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: Of course, he's lying and abusing and manipulating the stock
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: market too.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: As they fly around.
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: As I said in their private jet, I reckon hypocrisy
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: is the left's only renewable resource. Though I will give
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: the pair this, at least they didn't fly two private
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: jets to the same event, because if they did that,
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: they wouldn't be democrats, Joe, they'd be labor politicians.
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: Oh that's unfair, and how dare you burn? Yeah, it
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: is amazing. It's like they've just like ioicao Is obviously
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: just discovered the word oligarch and said, oh, that sounds good,
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: we can have a revolution against that. It's like, oh, yeah,
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: I got a you know, saying fight capitalism that was
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: getting a bit tight. An oligarchy, of course, is a
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: system of government which is run by you know, a
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: number of extremely rich people who control the government and
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: the political sphere. So in that case, they have an
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: oligarchy of two that is currently controlling the democratic leficiation.
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: And it's also like when she's saying all the things
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump is a you know, is a sexual harasser,
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: and everyone's like, yeay, why are they.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: Clapping that one?
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: They truld to be clapping that. It's destroying a cop
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: of Yeah, clapping the wrong bits. But what's Donald Trump
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: killed her grandmother in her sleep?
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, as frightening as Donald Trump might be
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: for some people, more frightening is the alternative is if
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: the alternative is Bernie Sanders and his heir apparent, he
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: jokes that AOC could be his daughter.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: Oh that's more friendly. People's worst imaginings about Donald.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Trump, Well, I mean does he have any children? The
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: similarities are remarkable, not physical, but in terms of ideology.
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: They are to talk like you know, mister Steinbrenner Off Seinfeld,
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: like Bertie Sanders, George, why can I get a Snickers
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: bar Anymorerow tell you what?
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: We actually don't know her accent anymore, much like Kamala Harris,
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: she changes it everywhere she goes. Interesting article in the
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: OS today regarding who is influencing our young men? We
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: read the new study from the November Institute. I went
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: to say November, No, it's The November Institute of Men's
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: Health gathered responses from more than three thousand, sixteen to
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: twenty five year old men in Australia, Britain and the US,
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: finding sixty three percent regularly engage with at least one
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: masculinity influencer online. In Australia the proportion was sixty eight percent.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: The concern, of course, is that this is heightening their
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: negative attitudes toward women and affecting their health choices around
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: taking steroids and testosterone injections, because a lot of these
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: masculine influences are the guys in the gyms with their
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: veins bulging, telling everyone at home get to the gym and.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: Be like me. I don't really have a problem with that.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: It's the women's stuff, obviously, that is far more of
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: a concern. I think the more young men get to
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: the gym and channel their energies in that direct.
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: The steroids, but go to the gym, get the muscles,
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: but just.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: The protein shapes, the protein shape.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: Although I've been told that's just an entry.
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: Way steroids streak your testicles. Isn't that or even tell
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: anything this is true.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: I thought this study was rubbish.
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: They're really against masculine influencers, and they name three of
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: them Andrew Tait, Jordan Peterson, and Joe Rogan, who I
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: would have thought of the three most unlikely people. They're
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: not like one is not like the other. A young
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: man listening to Andrew Tait it is very different to
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: a young man listening to Jordan.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: Peterson incredibly different.
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: In addition, in terms of it's affecting their attitude towards women. Yeah,
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: the survey found that these young people, these young men
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: are starting to believe in more traditional masculine roles, by
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: which they believe that men should be the providers in
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: the family and maybe men should provide leadership in the home.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure that's something we shoul more of, this
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: toxic masculinity.
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: In terms of engaging in risky behavior, this was the
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: number one example they gave.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: They're more likely to work out despite having an injury.
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: We can't have.
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: Young men engaging in risky behavior like pushing themselves physically.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, that would be a terrible thing, wouldn't it.
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: That's why I'm not That's the only reason I'm not
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: working out right now. By the way, I'm just carrying
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: a bit of an injury in the right leg.
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: So ah, right, very quickly, before we go to a break, Liz,
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: the German.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: Election is still not finalized. But the ADF not the ADF,
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: the AAFD defense for the Australian.
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: Evolve the Alternative for German Party. They did very well
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: in the polls, but now there's a push to ban
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: them before the election is decided.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Because that's what you do in a healthy democracy.
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: So the AfD, which are known as the far right
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: ring party in Germany, are the most popular party in
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Germany for the first time ever in German history. Now
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: we've talked about this before where it swings and roundabouts
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: with culture, isn't it if you get people upset enough
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: with all your left in nonsense and way too much immigration,
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: that again is the key issue at this election. And
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: I'll bet my bottom dollar that is the main reason
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: why the AfD have seen these unprecedented popularity in Germany
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: because they are the party that is.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: Saying we are going to come.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: Down hard on that particular issue, and that is what
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: Germans want to see. So check out these numbers. It's
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: it's a very small margin, but they are one percent
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: two percent according to that although it does say twenty
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: six twenty five. This is unprecedented in the history of Germany.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: They're two weeks out to deciding who their next chancellor
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: is going to be. But this is going to be
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: very interesting going forward because every other party, yes the
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: party is trying to now ban them from parliament. Oh,
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: they're the most popular, the most Germans want them. Let's
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: get rid of them all together again, That's exactly what
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: you do in a healthy democracy. These guys are obviously
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: feeling very threatened by the AfD, and none of them
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: would do a deal with them to form government, which
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: is what you'd need to do in the German parliament.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: So it's going to be very interesting seeing whether chips
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: fall and what ends up happening, because no one is
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: going to make a coalition of parties with the AFF.
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: I would have thought if you oppose your political opponents,
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: trying to have them banned from the process altogether is
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: a sure way to make them even more popular with
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: the public.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: We're going to go to a break. When we come back,
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: we'll look at what's making news tomorrow, including a Muslim group.
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: Now advocating for people to vote or give their preferences
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: to the Liberal Party as a way of getting back
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: at Labor for their gaza policy.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: That's coming up in just a moment. Welcome back.
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: Let's take a look at what's making news tomorrow. As
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: you can imagine, most of the papers paying tributes to
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: our ANZACs will start with the Career Mail that has
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: a lovely front page headed why we must never forget
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: the editorial reads, when the lament of the bugle gives
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: way across Australia today to the sacred silence that follows, all,
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: our thoughts will turn to different places. For some it's
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: the still raw heartbreak of fallen mates or family members.
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: For many, it's wounds often invisible to the rest of us,
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: that are still raw. Others just take a moment to
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: reflect with gratitude of the many sacrifices made and the
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: piece that was one. That's a lovely editorial in the
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: Career Mail, and that special edition tomorrow features thoughts from
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: prominent Australians in terms of how they regard an Zach David.
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: Of course, Liz, it's not just the career male going
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: with Anzac tributes tomorrow.
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: No.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: Indeed, fittingly, the Daily Telegraph splash reads a line from
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: the famous poem for the fallen age shall not weary them,
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: and the Townsville Bully has a beautiful story stronger together
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: a special Anzac Day edition, The Trauma Vietnam veteran Barry
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: Smith carries out sorry carries of how he and his
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: comrades were treated on their return home. Runs deep, but
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: it's a drop in the ocean. Compared to the pride
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: and love. His granddaughter Grace, pictured there on the front
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: page with him, has felt marching alongside him for the
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: last seventeen years, and to the Gold Coast Bulletin another
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: heart warming story, Anzac Honor for World War II Lancaster
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: bomber pilot who flew thirty three missions, hero's final run.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: The splash reads the story of Roland Reginald Cowen is
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: as heroic as it is tragic. After thirty successful World
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: War Two flying missions, he was due a break, but
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: a bureaucratic policy change pushed it to thirty three and
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: it became his last. We shall remember.
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: Them, very very moving stuff going to the advertiser now
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: the've elso, of course got a strap on the top
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: of memory. Anzac day and the age shall not weary
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: them line was used by the Daily Telegraph because Ernest
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: weary Dunlops the great war hero. His granddaughter Diana has
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: been given a new set of war medals to mark
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: his exploits in the war. So a lovely movie thing,
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: but a story of a different kind, a war of
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: a different kind. The War on drugs is something I
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: would like to talk about because we have on the
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: front page of the Just this story is amazing, crocodile Spears,
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: I panicked. David Spears admits deep fake lies now, just
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: to reiterate, this is not the David Spears who hosted
• 41:09
  Speaker 4: the second Leader's Debate on ABC Television after a stellar
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: career at Sky News. This was David Spears, the former
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: South Australian opposition leader at the Liberal Party. But front
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: page story says it was a day of shame for
• 41:23
  Speaker 4: disgraced ex Liberal leader David Spears, who emerged from court
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: a convicted criminal drug supplier and finally admitted he had
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: lied in panic when he said a video the Advertiser
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: obtained of him snorting powder was a deep fake. Well,
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: there goes all our excuses, doesn't it? Like I was
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: going to say absolutely everything that was slightly embarrassing that
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: I ever did it was a deep fake. It's AI whatever, whatever,
• 41:48
  Speaker 4: Adobe photoshop.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: AI isn't old enough, whatever, I've docted all those videos
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: of you, Joe.
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: I'm generation X. I don't know what's the AI or.
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: It was always going to be a big story. Obviously,
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: he made it even bigger.
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: By saying that's right. By that gets you not the crime.
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: Let's go to the front page of the Northern Territory News.
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: Really sad story on the front page there. He was
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: just doing his job, reads the headline, and adored man's
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: life stolen, a family shattered, a community united in grief.
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: The article reads, the grieving and broken wife of beloved
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: Nightcliff grocery store owner Linford Feek was shared the heartbreak
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: and pain of losing a beautiful man, a true gentleman
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: and my soulmate. His wife is not alone in her hurt,
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: with an outpouring of community grief, warmth and support after
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: the tragic death of her husband allegedly stabbed trying to
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: evict an alleged shoplifter. That's the front page of the
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: Northern Territory. If we go to the Australian in the
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: wake of that alleged stabbing, they've got a story there
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: detailing how the Northern Territory Chief Minister will recall Parliament
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: next week to press for what she has described as
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: the toughest bail laws that this nation has ever seen.
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: So that's on the front page of Tomorrow's Australian. Another
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: story on the front page of Tomorrow's Australian which is
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: particularly interesting in light of the upcoming federal poll. Muslim
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: group favoring Liberals to punish labor. There's a headline I
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: didn't think I would be reading. The article reads a
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: pro Palestine political movement aiming to elect Greens and independence
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: has dramatically intervened to help the Liberal Party in GoF
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: Whitlam's old seat of Werua in a strategic move to
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: flex its electoral muscle to the ALP and punish Labor
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: in a handful of marginal electorates. Now, Joe, this is
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: quite funny because the Labor Party are now accusing the
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: Muslim voting Organization of abandoning their principles.
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: For the Liberal Party.
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: The Muslim organization is saying their intention is to punish
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: anybody who is in government and hasn't yeah back to
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: the according for the fair wishes.
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: The thing is that their intention and what their actual
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: strategy is seems to me pretty bonkers because it is
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: actually hurting a party that is more sympathetic to their
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: cause and helping to elect a party that is less
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: sympathetic to their cause, but doing it all just so
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: they can make a stand and flex their muscle and
• 44:20
  Speaker 4: show them whose boss. That seems to me like the
• 44:23
  Speaker 4: very definition of kind of just shouting into the wind
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: or waving your fists at a cloud. So this is
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: not the Muslim vote movement that is going after Tony
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: Burke in his seat of Watson, and they were in
• 44:36
  Speaker 4: talks with the Liberal Party. I think the party, the
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: Liberal Party is now run a million miles after a
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: certain incredibly handsome Daily Telegraph toour and I wrote a
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: story about it, But that was going to do the
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: same thing, although in this case it would have been
• 44:49
  Speaker 4: Liberal preferences that would have helped get the Muslim vote
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: candidate elected above Tony Burke. That threat seems to have subsided.
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: But now this is Muslim votes matter to be confused
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: with the Muslim vote, just like the People's the Palestinian
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: People's Front is not to be confused to the People's
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: Front Palestine. A bit of a life of Brian there
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: for it. And so this time they are going to
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: preference the Libs in where which is held on a
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: much lower margin.
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: It's only five bid lavage and I think yeah.
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: About that now. I think it was seventy cent that
• 45:21
  Speaker 4: got revised up with the registribution and Stanley I think
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: as the member, the Libs are going after it, and
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: these guys want to help get them there.
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: This is twelve percent of that electric are Muslim, so
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: it's a significant voting block.
• 45:33
  Speaker 4: It's a significant voting block. But if you're compare it
• 45:35
  Speaker 4: to say Watson or Blacksland, which is what which is
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: Burke and Clair seats, you're talking about twenty five almost
• 45:41
  Speaker 4: thirty percent in some cases, so it's not as much.
• 45:44
  Speaker 4: And again it relies upon this terribly condescending and insulting
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: idea that Muslims will vote a certain way all the
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: same way just because they're Muslim, which I'm pretty sure
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: they will not do.
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: All right, we're going to go to a break.
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: When we come back, just how bad is the housing crisis.
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: It's a lot worse than you thought.
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: Will show you blocks of land in Sydney being sold
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: for huge amounts of money and they're not exactly vacant either.
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: That's coming up in just a moment.
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: Well, we all know the housing crisis is bad, but
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: it's much worse than any of us thought. Let me
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: show you some blocks of land that are being sold
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: in Sydney. Some of these tiny blocks are being sold
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: for upwards of one point four million dollars.
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: And here's the catch.
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: These blocks of land are not vacant, they've got active
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: electrical substations on them. But people are still trying to
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: snap up that photograph. There is a block of land
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: in Mossman. It's currently listed at four hundred and seventy
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: five thousand dollars and they reckon it will sell for
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: well above that, despite as I said, the active electrical substation.
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: The blocks of land are being sold by Osgrid. There's
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: huge interest, despite the low hum that emanates from the substation.
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: But people reckon snap up one of those little blocks.
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: Maybe get an architect, the designer home around the substations.
• 47:02
  Speaker 4: How people are a feature with the coy pond and
• 47:06
  Speaker 4: in Sydney, I can tell you there's a lot of
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: buzz about that property.
• 47:10
