Speaker 1: He's the bold reform it.
0:14
Speaker 2: Tonight, pro palastine activists disrupt the children's Christmas event and
0:19
Speaker 2: finally hold up posters I think we all can agree with.
0:22
Speaker 2: But who are the people who thought this protest was
0:25
Speaker 2: a great idea and why do we let them push
0:28
Speaker 2: us around? Also tonight, race baiting Senator Olivia Thorpe censured
0:33
Speaker 2: by the Senate for being so abusive, but claims she's
0:36
Speaker 2: being picked on because she's black.
0:39
Speaker 3: You got a black senator standing up against the colony.
0:44
Speaker 2: But how black is she? Really? It's time to end
0:46
Speaker 2: this race nonsense. Plenty more, of course, But first, Alan Jones.
0:53
Speaker 2: Allan Jones was arrested and charged today with sex crimes
0:56
Speaker 2: against allegedly eight young men, the youngest seventeen. It was
1:01
Speaker 2: so humiliating for a man who once terrified politicians in
1:04
Speaker 2: New South Wales when he ruled the airwaves to GB
1:07
Speaker 2: Australia's most powerful and popular broadcast. He scared a few
1:10
Speaker 2: politicians in Federal Parliament too, so often got his way.
1:15
Speaker 2: But now he faces twenty four charges that please say
1:18
Speaker 2: are serious.
1:20
Speaker 4: Those offenses include eleven charges of aggravated indecent assault where
1:27
Speaker 4: the victim was under the authority of the offender, nine
1:31
Speaker 4: charges related to assault with active indecency, two charges of
1:36
Speaker 4: common assault and two charges of sexual touching. Police will
1:43
Speaker 4: allege these offenses took place between two thousand and one
1:49
Speaker 4: and twenty nineteen, involving eight victims. The youngest of those
1:55
Speaker 4: victims was seventeen year old when the time. At the time.
2:00
Speaker 2: Charges follow reports in the City Morning Herald of Jones
2:02
Speaker 2: allegedly using his position of power versus a teacher later
2:07
Speaker 2: to GB to pray on young men, allegedly putting his
2:12
Speaker 2: hands down their pants and worse. But the New South
2:16
Speaker 2: Wales Police say their Child Abuse Squad established a task
2:20
Speaker 2: force to investigate alleged in decent assaults and sexual touching
2:25
Speaker 2: incidents between two thousand and one and twenty nineteen, So
2:28
Speaker 2: just in the past twenty three years out of five
2:31
Speaker 2: years ago, basically his radio years now. Jones did ever
2:36
Speaker 2: show with us after two GB decided it was too
2:38
Speaker 2: much trouble for saying controversial things had turned off advertisers
2:42
Speaker 2: need us to say checks were made before he came here,
2:44
Speaker 2: we didn't know these allegations and Jones's longtime colleague and rival,
2:49
Speaker 2: Ray Hadley, still a two GBS, and no friend of
2:52
Speaker 2: Jones at all said he didn't know of these allegations
2:54
Speaker 2: himself until a few years ago. Some were made by
2:57
Speaker 2: Tujib's staff.
3:00
Speaker 5: I first became aware of the allegations in twenty nineteen. Obviously,
3:03
Speaker 5: given there is likely to be a series of charges
3:06
Speaker 5: laid and announced by a police sometime this morning, and
3:09
Speaker 5: given there's a search warrant being executed at this moment
3:13
Speaker 5: inside of premises, that's circular key, you'd understand. I have
3:16
Speaker 5: to be careful of what I say and what I
3:18
Speaker 5: do actually know. My main concern at the moment is
3:21
Speaker 5: for the alleged victims, who are obviously seeking justice in
3:24
Speaker 5: relation to these matters.
3:27
Speaker 2: Now, how do you strit to be cautiously because in
3:30
Speaker 2: all such cases I've always said innocent until proven guilty. Now,
3:37
Speaker 2: these are serious allegations, but I think we've got to
3:39
Speaker 2: let the courts decide. Jones himself claimed earlier this year
3:42
Speaker 2: he was innocent.
3:44
Speaker 6: I'm not going to dwell here on the allegations made
3:46
Speaker 6: about me, other than to say that I refute them entirely.
3:52
Speaker 2: Now, this could be one of the greatest force from
3:54
Speaker 2: grace we have seen in this country, and If so,
3:57
Speaker 2: we're going to be asking ourselves how people bent to power,
4:02
Speaker 2: and ask who else knew of what Jones allegedly did.
4:06
Speaker 2: Are our free speech laws so ridiculously strong that it's
4:10
Speaker 2: now too dangerous to raise such allegations against the powerful? Certainly,
4:15
Speaker 2: alleged victims have said that they didn't speak against the
4:17
Speaker 2: man with so much influence, and police today praised them.
4:22
Speaker 4: I wish to commend the victims and their bravery in
4:27
Speaker 4: coming forward.
4:29
Speaker 2: And with some now coming forward, please think more will.
4:32
Speaker 2: But in the meantime, Jones is out on bail, but
4:36
Speaker 2: with travel restrictions and bands on contacting alleged victims. Police
4:40
Speaker 2: have seized the electronic equipment from his home, but the
4:43
Speaker 2: man himself seemed frozen or I don't know, composed.
4:49
Speaker 7: I've been told that he was quite calm and did
4:53
Speaker 7: seek with some legal advice.
4:55
Speaker 2: I've bet Jones only briefly a handful of times saw
5:00
Speaker 2: or heard nothing to me. I've got to say he
5:02
Speaker 2: was always studiously polite. But I wonder how, if this
5:08
Speaker 2: is true, he could allegedly abuse staff while at two
5:11
Speaker 2: GB over years and years, and not one person in
5:16
Speaker 2: authority there knew but to repeat innocent until proven guilty. Yeah,
5:24
Speaker 2: there is something else. If these allegations are found to
5:27
Speaker 2: be true, that will of course be vindication for those
5:30
Speaker 2: who accused Jones, but it will also be a loss
5:32
Speaker 2: I think in a very different way now. I thought
5:35
Speaker 2: the official Jones story was inspiring. He's a gay man
5:39
Speaker 2: who went from teaching to coaching the Wallabies, a national
5:44
Speaker 2: rugby union team, to being a speech raative for Prime
5:47
Speaker 2: Minister of Malcolm Fraser, to being a Liberal candidate. Well
5:50
Speaker 2: that was a real failure and onto stratisforic success and
5:53
Speaker 2: wealth in radio, a gay man becoming the immensely popular
5:59
Speaker 2: voice of Struggles Street to Australians. I thought it was great.
6:04
Speaker 2: I mean to me, that smashed the idea that Australians
6:07
Speaker 2: are basically homophobic, and also one him in order of Australia.
6:13
Speaker 2: So how much of the Jones legend will survive this?
6:17
Speaker 2: Let the courts decide. Now to the politics, Anthony Albanese's
6:26
Speaker 2: trek through South America's looking more and more bizarre, and
6:30
Speaker 2: in fact there's no one of the Chinese dictatorship was
6:32
Speaker 2: praised our Prime Minister and the official media as a
6:35
Speaker 2: role model for other leaders for distancing himself more from America,
6:42
Speaker 2: and Albernese sure has earned that praise. Now Americans are
6:46
Speaker 2: just voted for Donald Trump as president, but Trump will
6:49
Speaker 2: still be sworn in for another two months, so that
6:51
Speaker 2: kind of makes the two meetings that Aberanze has been
6:53
Speaker 2: going to in South America but irrelevant. The APIC meeting
6:57
Speaker 2: of Asia Pacific leaders of Peru last week and now
7:00
Speaker 2: the G twenty meeting of the leaders of the top
7:01
Speaker 2: twenty economies over in Brazil. Trump is at neither of
7:05
Speaker 2: those meetings. Yep, our Prime minister is using them to
7:10
Speaker 2: apparently already whip up opposition to Trump in a way
7:14
Speaker 2: China would love. Trump promises to impose big tariffs, especially
7:20
Speaker 2: on China. Salvinizi is there preaching free trade. Trump says
7:25
Speaker 2: global warming is a scam, promises to take America out
7:28
Speaker 2: of the Paris Agreements comissions. Salvinze is over there preaching
7:31
Speaker 2: that making them move to both solar wind and green
7:34
Speaker 2: hydrogen is essential for us to deal with the threat
7:37
Speaker 2: that climate change poses. And China would love Albinizi keeping
7:41
Speaker 2: up that global warming scare. That's because it last week
7:46
Speaker 2: asked Australian the rest of the developed world to give
7:49
Speaker 2: it and one hundred and thirty three less developed countries
7:52
Speaker 2: one point eight trillion dollars a year supposedly to help
7:55
Speaker 2: them fight global warming. That works out pro every Australian man,
8:01
Speaker 2: woman and child giving one thousand, five hundred dollars every
8:06
Speaker 2: year to communist China, plus a lot of poorer countries,
8:09
Speaker 2: including other hostile dictatorships Hiran, the Taliban's, Afghanistan, North Korea, Syria.
8:19
Speaker 2: I could go on now. The band news. The worst
8:23
Speaker 2: news is our energy Minister Chris Bowen is a real
8:26
Speaker 2: global woman crusader is co chair of the noted Nations Group,
8:30
Speaker 2: which at this meeting, this climate change meeting in the
8:33
Speaker 2: UN in Bakub right now, is going to be working
8:37
Speaker 2: out how much Australians and others should pay all these
8:40
Speaker 2: poorer countries. And he hasn't ruled out this, the man
8:43
Speaker 2: from China, and it's one hundred and thirty three friends,
8:46
Speaker 2: he's just said the reported position is in our position,
8:49
Speaker 2: but we won't be pre empty negotiations that are taking place.
8:55
Speaker 2: He can't rule it out, won't rule it out. You
8:57
Speaker 2: know what's going on here. He is beating up the
9:00
Speaker 2: global warming scare to make the West week and to
9:03
Speaker 2: win friends in less developed countries. So we've got to
9:07
Speaker 2: cut our emissions a terrible cost. Well, China and the
9:10
Speaker 2: Paris Agreement being supposedly one of these poor countries can
9:13
Speaker 2: emit more, and it's doing exactly that the world speaking
9:15
Speaker 2: submitted by far, and it's doing that to get rich
9:17
Speaker 2: as fast as possible. And now it's using global warming
9:20
Speaker 2: to extort guilt money from us as well. When and
9:24
Speaker 2: your Prime Minister praised by China, it says nothing, says
9:28
Speaker 2: effact global warning really as bad, says we must have
9:31
Speaker 2: been even more to cut our emissions. And that's when
9:34
Speaker 2: a new study of schemes around the world by the
9:36
Speaker 2: way to cut a missions worked out that of the
9:38
Speaker 2: one thousand, five hundred looked at, it identified just sixty
9:42
Speaker 2: three that was successful. But I bring hope that finally
9:46
Speaker 2: this great scam is being challenged and strongly. Despite alb
9:50
Speaker 2: and easy, Donald Trump has now named the man he
9:53
Speaker 2: wants to be his energy secretary, his counterpart to our
9:57
Speaker 2: Chris Bowen. It's another Chris Right who made a fortune
10:02
Speaker 2: frecking for gas, the technology banned in Victoria, but which
10:05
Speaker 2: Wright said was so safe that he could drink the
10:08
Speaker 2: frecking fluid which green activists claim poisonous groundwater, but right
10:20
Speaker 2: also says global warming is not a crisis.
10:24
Speaker 8: There is no climate crisis, and we're not in the
10:27
Speaker 8: midst of an energy transition either. Since the end of
10:30
Speaker 8: World War Two, global human life expectancy, wealth, health, and
10:35
Speaker 8: opportunity have surged like never before. Hence any negative impacts
10:41
Speaker 8: from climate change were clearly overwhelmed by the benefits of
10:46
Speaker 8: increasing energy consumption.
10:49
Speaker 2: Now imagine what Donald Trump and this energy secretary of
10:52
Speaker 2: his are going to do, not just some arita's economy,
10:54
Speaker 2: but getting more cheap energy. I'm like us, but also
10:58
Speaker 2: due to the international debate about cutting emissions at such
11:01
Speaker 2: a terrible cost as we're seeing with our own power prices,
11:05
Speaker 2: there's our Prime Minister's still saying, got to do it
11:08
Speaker 2: more about global warming. There's our energy ministers still saying
11:12
Speaker 2: we've got to discuss paying this one point eight trillion
11:14
Speaker 2: dollars to China and its mates. Don't you wish we
11:18
Speaker 2: had adults in Canberra too. Anthony Albanezi has gone from
11:26
Speaker 2: that APEC meeting in Peru last week to the G
11:28
Speaker 2: twenty one in Brazil today, which, like I said, it's
11:31
Speaker 2: all seems a waste of time since Donald Trump's not there,
11:35
Speaker 2: which leaves Trump, of course free to be greeted as
11:37
Speaker 2: a hero at a UFC title fight in New York's
11:40
Speaker 2: Madison Square Garden and leads Joe Barden is such a
11:44
Speaker 2: lame duck president at APEX that it was put in
11:46
Speaker 2: the back row near the end for the group photo
11:49
Speaker 2: of leaders there. Albanez was right on the end of
11:53
Speaker 2: the left and cropped out of most pictures. Chinese dictator
11:56
Speaker 2: was put in the front row near the middle. I
11:58
Speaker 2: tell that tells you something. Although true positions are usually
12:02
Speaker 2: done by the alphabet, but at the APEC meeting that
12:05
Speaker 2: Trump once went to, he pushed his way to the middle.
12:08
Speaker 2: And they'll be pushing into a lot more than photo ops.
12:10
Speaker 2: And after he is sworn in as president, and one
12:14
Speaker 2: thing he'll be doing is putting a bomb in this
12:16
Speaker 2: global warming scam and the way China is exploiting it
12:20
Speaker 2: to make the West poorer and itself stronger. Joining me
12:23
Speaker 2: is Michael Schubridge, a former senior defense official, our founder
12:26
Speaker 2: and director of Strategic Analysis Australia. Michael schubridg' is great
12:32
Speaker 2: to talk to you let me start with this. China
12:34
Speaker 2: and one hundred and thirty three of its allies, you know, dictatorships.
12:38
Speaker 2: Poor countries are demanding at this Uan Climate Conference that
12:43
Speaker 2: we and the West pay them one point eight trillion
12:47
Speaker 2: dollars a year for their climate change projects. That per
12:50
Speaker 2: person works out to us paying one one thousand, five
12:55
Speaker 2: hundred dollars for every Australian man, woman and child every year.
13:00
Speaker 2: What's China up to with the demand this extraordinary.
13:06
Speaker 9: I think the leaders in Beijing are hoping we.
13:10
Speaker 10: Are so stupid that we take this seriously, because the
13:14
Speaker 10: largest source of omissions on the planet is the economy
13:17
Speaker 10: that the leaders in Beijing run. They know it, so
13:20
Speaker 10: they're just hoping to trade on our naivety and stupidity.
13:25
Speaker 2: But this is a curious thing, Michael Schubridge. You've got
13:28
Speaker 2: Anthony Albanezi promoting himself at the APEC meeting last week
13:34
Speaker 2: as been really pro global warming policies, when you've got
13:38
Speaker 2: Trump saying no, it's a scam. You've got Albin Eazi
13:41
Speaker 2: not having a meeting with Joe Biden at that meeting,
13:44
Speaker 2: but he did have a meeting or will with Jijingping
13:48
Speaker 2: in Brazil. This week, and the official China Daily is
13:51
Speaker 2: actually praise Albinizi as a good leader who isn't getting
13:55
Speaker 2: too close to the US. In fact, Albanize is now
13:57
Speaker 2: promoting free trade when Trump is coming in saying no,
14:02
Speaker 2: I'm really going to hit a lot of countries with taros,
14:05
Speaker 2: particularly China. What's going on here?
14:11
Speaker 10: Well, and I don't think anyone besides the Australian Treasury
14:15
Speaker 10: and the Australian Prime Minister really thinks free trade is
14:21
Speaker 10: a thing to promote right now. Everybody else is using
14:25
Speaker 10: industrial policy and projectionist trade policies, not just Donald Trump.
14:30
Speaker 10: This is like mister Albanezi choosing the perfect time to
14:34
Speaker 10: promote communism just after the fall of the Soviet Union.
14:38
Speaker 10: Now promoting free trade now is just like that. And
14:42
Speaker 10: so if he wants to set himself up as the
14:46
Speaker 10: anti Trump warrior for the Western world who's working closely
14:51
Speaker 10: with people like Shijingping, this path he's on is the
14:54
Speaker 10: perfect recipe. It really doesn't make sense for our national interest.
15:00
Speaker 2: Yes, well, I don't know whether this is very smart.
15:04
Speaker 2: And meanwhile, of course is keeping Kevin Rudders his ambassador
15:08
Speaker 2: to Washington, despite rather having called the Trump a village idiot.
15:12
Speaker 2: But Joe Biden, he looked completely on the outer at
15:16
Speaker 2: this first of that APEC meeting, completely on the outer,
15:20
Speaker 2: looked like a finished figure. It's only got a couple
15:22
Speaker 2: of months to go and he's looking so dotttery. But
15:26
Speaker 2: he has finally done one thing. Now. Some will say
15:29
Speaker 2: this is going to push the world closer than nuclear war.
15:32
Speaker 2: Others will say he's done it too late. Biden has
15:36
Speaker 2: given Ukraine permission to fire. America made long range missiles
15:41
Speaker 2: called actems into targets or attack ems, sorry, attack ems
15:46
Speaker 2: into targets inside Russian territory up to three hundred and
15:50
Speaker 2: fifty kilometers into Russia. And this is apparently he's changed.
15:53
Speaker 2: Biden's changed his mindment is because North Korea has now
15:56
Speaker 2: sent ten thousand soldiers to help Russia's invasion. What is
15:59
Speaker 2: this decision due to this war?
16:04
Speaker 10: Well, you're right, Andrew, that this is a late decision.
16:07
Speaker 10: So it's about less than two months left for Biden's administration. Now,
16:12
Speaker 10: not a lot of time for the Ukrainians to take
16:14
Speaker 10: advantage of these new.
16:18
Speaker 9: Well of these ended restrictions.
16:20
Speaker 10: But this is just an example of the US and
16:24
Speaker 10: Europe doing things that are too little, too late to
16:27
Speaker 10: help the Ukrainians. It took a year to decide to
16:30
Speaker 10: send tanks, a year and a half to send F
16:33
Speaker 10: sixteen fighter jets. Here we are almost two years in
16:36
Speaker 10: and some range restrictions are being lifted on these US
16:39
Speaker 10: attack on missiles.
16:41
Speaker 9: I think there's a good side.
16:43
Speaker 10: It's hopefully going to strengthen Ukraine's hand if there are
16:48
Speaker 10: actual negotiations to end the war next year, better to
16:51
Speaker 10: end it from a position of strength. But really, this
16:55
Speaker 10: looks like Biden. It's reminding me of a primary school
16:58
Speaker 10: child who's trying to do a year homework in the
17:01
Speaker 10: last week of term.
17:05
Speaker 2: I just wonder if it's come a bit late. But
17:07
Speaker 2: it seems that war has suddenly stepped up in preparation
17:11
Speaker 2: for Trump coming in and trying to and you know
17:13
Speaker 2: he promised to stop at a virtually in the day.
17:16
Speaker 2: Russia has now launched more than two hundred missiles and
17:20
Speaker 2: drones at Ukraine's energy grid in just the last days
17:26
Speaker 2: and other civilian targets as well not military targets. Has
17:29
Speaker 2: killed seven people, knocked out a lot of the country's
17:32
Speaker 2: power supply with winter coming. This is Russia's biggest such
17:35
Speaker 2: attack in months. This seems to be stepping up pressured
17:40
Speaker 2: Vladimir Putin, Russia's dictator, stepping up pressure on Ukraine before
17:44
Speaker 2: Trump takes over it. How do you see it, well, exactly.
17:49
Speaker 10: I mean the Russian military with their meat grinded tactics
17:53
Speaker 10: of just throwing men and machines at the problem and
17:56
Speaker 10: losing a whole lot of people, that has led them
17:59
Speaker 10: to advance. For they're into Ukraine over the last four months,
18:02
Speaker 10: so it's been incremental advances everywhere.
18:04
Speaker 9: You're right.
18:05
Speaker 10: The Russians have no restrictions on using long range missiles
18:08
Speaker 10: and drones to attack all across Ukraine, including some of
18:12
Speaker 10: their civilian population centers and the power grid. What the
18:16
Speaker 10: Ukrainians have done is take a bit of Russian territory
18:19
Speaker 10: in Kursk. They want to hold it and for that
18:22
Speaker 10: they will need to use weapons like these US missiles.
18:26
Speaker 10: So it really has been a very uneven approach that
18:31
Speaker 10: the Americans are NATO and even Australia as a nable,
18:35
Speaker 10: we've hobbled the Ukrainians while the Russians have got far
18:39
Speaker 10: more aggressive, and with so little time left for Biden
18:43
Speaker 10: to change that, it doesn't look like a positive part
18:47
Speaker 10: of his legacy. He should have lifted these restrictions a
18:50
Speaker 10: year ago.
18:51
Speaker 2: Michael Schubridge, thank you so much for your time.
18:56
Speaker 9: Thanks heededa Today was.
18:58
Speaker 2: Really embarrassing for it lines. One flight to Canberra canceled,
19:02
Speaker 2: another delayed, which meant that two politicians couldn't make it
19:05
Speaker 2: in time to the Senate to hear their fellow senators
19:08
Speaker 2: vote to censure them, and they weren't there to argue
19:11
Speaker 2: Backwharich is appalling really, that said, both senators have acted
19:15
Speaker 2: even worse and that's the real story tonight. One is
19:19
Speaker 2: Ralph babbittt the Clive Palmer's United Australian Party use extremely
19:23
Speaker 2: foul words in a tweet for no good reason. But
19:26
Speaker 2: the other is race baiting Senator Lady of Thorpe censured
19:30
Speaker 2: for doing this to King Charles now Land that Jetti
19:37
Speaker 2: fly your stall from that she was censured not for
19:46
Speaker 2: her opinions, stupid as they are, but for her show
19:49
Speaker 2: voting rudeness and aggressions. Now being banned from ever representing
19:53
Speaker 2: our parliament on trips. But she says, so what.
19:57
Speaker 3: Sentcher motion is like that to me?
20:01
Speaker 2: Now? I said last week that the problem with race
20:03
Speaker 2: politics is that it reduces arguments from a battle of
20:09
Speaker 2: reason to one of force, and in Thorpe's case, who
20:12
Speaker 2: yells loudest, who makes most trouble, they win. And thoughte
20:17
Speaker 2: today proves she really is a race.
20:19
Speaker 3: Beta, if the colonizing king were to come to my
20:24
Speaker 3: country again, our country, then I'll do it again, and
20:28
Speaker 3: I will keep doing it. I swear my allegiance to
20:32
Speaker 3: the real sovereigns of these lands. First peoples are the
20:36
Speaker 3: real sovereigns. I'm here to bring down the colony.
20:40
Speaker 2: So Aborigine is a sovereign over everyone else. I mean,
20:44
Speaker 2: how racist is that? The thought reckons excused from quibbles
20:49
Speaker 2: like that, She's an excuse me being reasonable and respectful
20:52
Speaker 2: because of course she's a black victim. You've got a.
20:55
Speaker 3: Black senator standing up against the colony.
21:00
Speaker 2: And this is where I have to call bull on
21:02
Speaker 2: Lydia Thorpe. She says he's a black senator, but her
21:05
Speaker 2: father is white, and of Thorpe's eight great grandparents, only
21:10
Speaker 2: one has Abaginal ancestry. Yet that one Aboraginal great grandparent
21:16
Speaker 2: in Thorpe's racialized world, gives her the right to say
21:20
Speaker 2: she's black and this land is hers, not yours. If
21:24
Speaker 2: you're not average, joining me is the political panel Michael Crogan,
21:28
Speaker 2: former Victorian Liberal president and Steve Conroy formulated senator and
21:32
Speaker 2: cabinet minister. Michael, the problem with his censure motion against
21:37
Speaker 2: Thorpe is that it gave her more purplicy. I got that,
21:40
Speaker 2: but I reckon the problem with that really lies in
21:44
Speaker 2: the journalists who didn't confront her today again with what
21:48
Speaker 2: I consider is her racist politics, or her hypocrisy, or
21:52
Speaker 2: simply her family tree.
21:56
Speaker 7: Well, Thorpe's got a touch with the Bruce Pasco about her,
21:59
Speaker 7: doesn't she? Andrew. She seems to be using this part
22:02
Speaker 7: aboriginality to make a career out of it, of grandstanding.
22:07
Speaker 7: She's one of the most highly paid people in the country,
22:10
Speaker 7: and her continued relevance relies on her doing the stunts
22:16
Speaker 7: on an irregular basis and for the media to fall
22:19
Speaker 7: into the trap of publicizing her. But I think the
22:21
Speaker 7: bad news to her is that the recent American election
22:24
Speaker 7: shows that people are identifying more by their economic circumstances
22:31
Speaker 7: and less by race, sex, gender, etc. Which probably tells
22:36
Speaker 7: you that where over Peak woke from that regard, and
22:40
Speaker 7: these attempts to divide our country here by race et cetera,
22:44
Speaker 7: et cetera are diluting as they should.
22:48
Speaker 2: Andrew Stephen, where do you think this race policies is going?
22:53
Speaker 2: I should, by the way, say the difference between Pasco
22:55
Speaker 2: is that he's got no aboriginal ancestry. Lydia Thorpe has
22:58
Speaker 2: got some, but one in a great grandparents. I mean,
23:01
Speaker 2: give me a break, Steven, where is race politics going?
23:04
Speaker 2: Do you think?
23:06
Speaker 11: Look, Michael, my number of good points there. I think
23:09
Speaker 11: if you look at the US election, you look at
23:11
Speaker 11: the what you would call the centrist Democrats who are
23:15
Speaker 11: now leading the debate to try and regroup in the
23:19
Speaker 11: Democrats overseas, is that they're over the woke politics they
23:24
Speaker 11: I think they said, we don't want to be the
23:25
Speaker 11: freak party, we don't want to be characterized.
23:30
Speaker 2: I read that too. It's a great line. I don't
23:32
Speaker 2: want to be part of the freak A great line. Yeah.
23:36
Speaker 11: So I think I think that Lydia Thorpe is the
23:39
Speaker 11: canary in the coal mine, because when you follow the
23:42
Speaker 11: line of argument of these people, you end up as Lydiathorpe.
23:47
Speaker 11: And if the Labor Party isn't prepared to take a
23:49
Speaker 11: stand to say we're not being prepared to be pale
23:53
Speaker 11: imitations of Lydia Thorpe's politics. They've actually got to stand
23:58
Speaker 11: up and say enough is enough. I mean, Barack Obama
24:02
Speaker 11: called this out five years ago. He said, you know,
24:04
Speaker 11: coming to settle down on the woke politics. So there's
24:09
Speaker 11: a string of people around the world in the left
24:11
Speaker 11: of center politics. You have to accept that if they
24:14
Speaker 11: want to remotely represent the center, which is what particularly
24:18
Speaker 11: in Australia both sides of politics ultimately want to aspire,
24:22
Speaker 11: is identified with the Senator. They've got to reject the
24:24
Speaker 11: Lydiathorpe approach and the Lydia Thorpe ideology.
24:30
Speaker 2: Alutely correct. The party needs to take that message to heart. Yeah,
24:35
Speaker 2: but I don't see any consistently brave taking on the
24:40
Speaker 2: ideology that informs her. They're they're scared of that. But
24:45
Speaker 2: you're absolutely correct, by the way, Michael, Japanese troops are
24:49
Speaker 2: coming to Darwin. Now, now that's the city that Japan
24:52
Speaker 2: actually bombed eighty one years ago, but this time it's
24:55
Speaker 2: to train with American Australian soldiers to prepare all of
24:59
Speaker 2: us for any war. China's official Global Times newspaper's angry.
25:02
Speaker 2: He's writing the deployment of Japanese soldiers through Australia's Pearl Harbor.
25:06
Speaker 2: Get that warning there, Australia's Pearl Harbor is a dangerous shift,
25:10
Speaker 2: is it? No?
25:14
Speaker 7: In fact, this is a very welcome development, Andrew. In
25:17
Speaker 7: an increasingly uncertain and dangerous world for the Australians and
25:23
Speaker 7: the Americans now to retraining with Japanese is a very
25:29
Speaker 7: welcome development. As we know, the Japanese, because the post
25:32
Speaker 7: World War War period, have taken a very lay back
25:37
Speaker 7: attitude to these things. They haven't really had an army.
25:41
Speaker 7: But now they're emerging in this times of global crisis
25:45
Speaker 7: and it's a good development. And what Richard Male said
25:47
Speaker 7: today in the Parliament is very well received, very welcome news.
25:52
Speaker 2: Steven. I'm going to give the Labor government to tick
25:55
Speaker 2: for facilitating this. How important is it? How much more
25:58
Speaker 2: do you want to see? Look?
26:00
Speaker 11: I think look, I think it's really important. And congratulations
26:03
Speaker 11: to the government and to Richard for pulling this one off,
26:07
Speaker 11: because you know, you talked earlier in your show about
26:10
Speaker 11: you know, the Chinese government said ay is and now
26:13
Speaker 11: by wonderful, Well, let's not fall into the same Liddy
26:16
Speaker 11: thought trap. The Chinese government also what it wants to
26:19
Speaker 11: do to destabilize our relationship with the US. They know that,
26:23
Speaker 11: you know, they'll get publicity in Australia when they say it.
26:26
Speaker 11: So I think to the credit of the government, they've
26:29
Speaker 11: done two things at the same time. They've been at
26:32
Speaker 11: a walk and chew guvernmy've been able to deliver a
26:34
Speaker 11: lifting of the trade sanctions. And at the same time
26:37
Speaker 11: they have absolutely said we are going to continue to
26:40
Speaker 11: pursue a national security policy.
26:43
Speaker 2: Which is in our national.
26:44
Speaker 11: Interest and that includes you know, greater deepening relationships with
26:49
Speaker 11: Orcus and the Americans, with the British and now bringing
26:53
Speaker 11: the Japanese into the fold. And you know it is
26:56
Speaker 11: quite historic concept, you know, as you mentioned bombing Darwin
27:00
Speaker 11: and now they're here and a party to helping strength
27:03
Speaker 11: strengthen the old enemies. So don't don't listen to China
27:07
Speaker 11: when they want to say, ah olboss'.
27:12
Speaker 2: I'm letting I let you get in that dig I'm
27:15
Speaker 2: going to let it slide, because there's plenty of other
27:17
Speaker 2: things that has failed to do or done, like meshed
27:22
Speaker 2: us even more with China trade wise, that I take
27:24
Speaker 2: issue with but I take your point. Michael Krogus, Stephen Conroy,
27:28
Speaker 2: thank you both for your time. After the break so
27:31
Speaker 2: Lydia Thorpe says, averaging are our sovereigns me and while
27:35
Speaker 2: in Victoria this week the state government there is negotiating
27:38
Speaker 2: a treaty with a state Voice that includes Lydia Thoughpe,
27:43
Speaker 2: relatives and friends and negotiating this treaty and secret strange.
27:51
Speaker 2: Last year voted no to dividing us race, no to
27:55
Speaker 2: the voice. In every state we voted no. But Victoriously
28:00
Speaker 2: government still has its own voice, the First People's Assembly,
28:04
Speaker 2: and this week will negotiate in secret a treaty with
28:08
Speaker 2: this kind of Aboriginal parliament joining me as Peter Walsh,
28:11
Speaker 2: the National's leader in Victoria and the Opposition spokesman on
28:15
Speaker 2: Aboriginal affairs, Peter Walsh, good to see you. Thanks for
28:18
Speaker 2: your tom Your Victorian opposition was all for a treaty,
28:21
Speaker 2: now it's against why.
28:24
Speaker 1: So we actually weren't for a treaty Andrew.
28:26
Speaker 12: We were happy to have discussions about how you sold
28:29
Speaker 12: disadvantage for our indigenous community. We never ever said we'd
28:32
Speaker 12: be supporting a treaty. We wanted to see how those
28:36
Speaker 12: discussions progressed, and if there were some good ideas put
28:39
Speaker 12: forward that would actually help some of those close the
28:42
Speaker 12: gap indicators and improve them, would be happy to be
28:45
Speaker 12: part of those discussions. That has not evolved. We've never
28:48
Speaker 12: said we're for treaty, and we've clearly said we are
28:51
Speaker 12: not for treaty at all.
28:52
Speaker 2: Now because.
28:57
Speaker 12: Because very simply has wanting to talk about the closing
29:02
Speaker 12: the gap indicators. How you have better education outcomes, how
29:06
Speaker 12: you a better housing house comes, how you reduce incarceration,
29:10
Speaker 12: how you increase life expectancy. They're the issues that we
29:13
Speaker 12: were interested in as far as solving disadvantage and an
29:16
Speaker 12: indigenous community. As you've said in the introduction, there's only
29:20
Speaker 12: been secret discussions. We had the premiere recently made an
29:24
Speaker 12: apology in secret without the media. We believe whatever is
29:28
Speaker 12: discussed has to be open and transparent. The Victorian public
29:32
Speaker 12: need to know and in reality, with only two years
29:35
Speaker 12: to go the next election, anything that's to change should
29:38
Speaker 12: actually be put to the people of Victoria first.
29:42
Speaker 2: Yes, thank you for reminding me about that extraordinary apology
29:45
Speaker 2: formal apology to the government for suppose sins done in private.
29:51
Speaker 2: How does that work? It seems they've got something to
29:54
Speaker 2: hard or they're scared about the public actually thinks, and
29:57
Speaker 2: the government won't discuss what's on the table in these
30:00
Speaker 2: negotiate a treaty for heaven's sake. Does that sound democratic
30:04
Speaker 2: to you.
30:06
Speaker 1: Well, it's not.
30:06
Speaker 12: And as we've already discussed, the people of Victoria have
30:10
Speaker 12: a right to know what he's being discussed. In a
30:14
Speaker 12: recent opinion piece and I wrote, We've got to know
30:19
Speaker 12: are we going to be denied access to land? Are
30:21
Speaker 12: we going to be knowing access to water? You recently
30:24
Speaker 12: seen the published in the last two weeks around rock
30:27
Speaker 12: climbing and Mount of Rapidis. We actually don't want to
30:30
Speaker 12: see more examples like that. So we believe it should
30:32
Speaker 12: be open, transparent. It should be everyone in the Parliament
30:36
Speaker 12: actually knows what's going on, so then the people of
30:38
Speaker 12: Victoria know what's going on.
30:41
Speaker 2: Is that a red line to you? If there are
30:43
Speaker 2: things like a land giveaways, bands on climbing stuff, as
30:49
Speaker 2: if we haven't got enough bands already, things where people
30:52
Speaker 2: Well you saw Tenure Plivsk the federal Environment minister. You
30:56
Speaker 2: know she's got a one hundred million dollar purchase of
31:00
Speaker 2: water for Aborigines for supposed religious, spiritual kind of reasons
31:05
Speaker 2: or whatever they wanted for. Is that what you're against.
31:10
Speaker 12: Well, we're against a number of things, and we've made
31:12
Speaker 12: our opinions very well known to the first peoples, and
31:15
Speaker 12: that's our Traditional Owner Settlement Act. We don't believe that
31:19
Speaker 12: is working, and particularly the Cultural Heritage Act.
31:21
Speaker 1: That it is.
31:23
Speaker 12: There's no clear rules or transparency around how cultural heritage
31:27
Speaker 12: is managed. There's no clear rules around the charges that
31:30
Speaker 12: are made for people to do the examinations, and there's
31:34
Speaker 12: no rights of appeal and there's no fee schedule. So
31:37
Speaker 12: we're seeing developments right across Victoria. We're seeing events right
31:41
Speaker 12: across Victoria that are being stopped because of cultural heritage
31:46
Speaker 12: issues under that act.
31:48
Speaker 1: As you've send the introduction.
31:50
Speaker 12: I think we are all Australian, we're in our case,
31:53
Speaker 12: we are all Victorians and we shouldn't have access to
31:58
Speaker 12: the rights to whatever there is Victoria that we actually
32:01
Speaker 12: want to do without having to jump through hoops for
32:03
Speaker 12: something that is not transparent and not appealable.
32:08
Speaker 2: And the thing that really gets me, Peter is lidly thorpes.
32:13
Speaker 2: I think it's one of her cousins or something has
32:16
Speaker 2: married a woman who's the co chair of his first
32:18
Speaker 2: People's Assembly. She's got relatives and other and associates and
32:23
Speaker 2: supporters on this first Peoples Assembly. I wonder how representative
32:27
Speaker 2: really is when ninety percent of Victorians who identify as
32:31
Speaker 2: Aborigines did not vote in the elections for this assembly.
32:38
Speaker 12: You're actual, absolutely right, I think when it comes to Lydia,
32:41
Speaker 12: thoughte Lydia's actions speak for themselves, no people.
32:44
Speaker 1: I think Victorians and Australians see.
32:46
Speaker 12: It for what it is. Linnear is a senator. She
32:50
Speaker 12: takes the King's shilling to be a senator. I think
32:52
Speaker 12: she has a responsibility to behave like a senator and
32:55
Speaker 12: that was absolutely appalling situation we saw when the King
32:58
Speaker 12: was he and I think willing majority of Australians were
33:01
Speaker 12: appalled by it as well. So I think whatever Lydia
33:04
Speaker 12: says or does, people see through that come back to
33:08
Speaker 12: where I started. We actually want to make sure that
33:11
Speaker 12: we actually sold disadvantage and work with our Digenous community.
33:15
Speaker 12: They should not they should have the similar outcomes in
33:18
Speaker 12: their life to the rest of Victorians, and we want
33:20
Speaker 12: to work towards that. Not the issues that have been
33:23
Speaker 12: discussed at the moment around treaty about access to land,
33:26
Speaker 12: access to water and denying the rest of Victorians access
33:29
Speaker 12: to those things.
33:32
Speaker 2: I think the whole thing is in principle wrong and
33:35
Speaker 2: in practice will be so divisive. This is playing with
33:39
Speaker 2: Peter Walsh, no wonder it's so secret. By the way,
33:42
Speaker 2: Peter Welsh, thank you so much indeed for your time
33:46
Speaker 2: after the break. So what kind of Propealaci and Extreams
33:50
Speaker 2: sort of was great to disrupt us children's Christmas event
33:55
Speaker 2: yesterday that they had no choice but to make children miserable.
34:00
Speaker 5: I'd rather go to yoga.
34:05
Speaker 2: I think many Australians are so over all. These protesters
34:08
Speaker 2: getting in their face, not respecting our right to be
34:11
Speaker 2: left in peace. The climbing strings, the race warriors, the
34:14
Speaker 2: gender finatis, the language police and on and on are
34:16
Speaker 2: now the worst pro Palestinian protesters. Some even threatened yesterday's
34:22
Speaker 2: planned big opening of the Merry Christmas windows in Melbourne,
34:25
Speaker 2: forcing the Sword to cancel and then open the windows
34:28
Speaker 2: very quietly in the early morning. No fanfare about Temperates
34:31
Speaker 2: are still turned up though to spoil the children's fun
34:41
Speaker 2: plaside for once though one sign they held up was
34:48
Speaker 2: dead true. I mean morons for Palestine. The premier called
34:52
Speaker 2: the morons, and they took that as praise as morons would.
34:55
Speaker 2: Some protesters really did think spoiling the fun of children
34:59
Speaker 2: was there duty, a duty bigger than even going to
35:03
Speaker 2: the yoga class.
35:05
Speaker 3: Sanction Israel in the genocide.
35:06
Speaker 6: We don't have to do this anymore.
35:07
Speaker 2: I'd rather go to yoga. But this protest just seems
35:12
Speaker 2: mean sise, because there is no connection between spoiling the
35:16
Speaker 2: fun of Australian children any of the war and guards.
35:19
Speaker 2: There is none. Still, it's not just that, I think,
35:22
Speaker 2: which has got so many people crossed with them, Like
35:23
Speaker 2: I said, it's also the feeling they were losing freedom
35:26
Speaker 2: and control over our lives, and a politicians not helping,
35:29
Speaker 2: in fact often making it worse with these lockdowns and
35:32
Speaker 2: bands and free speech, and so at this protest, people
35:36
Speaker 2: just passing by confront of these grinches.
35:40
Speaker 10: Enough is enough, Australia, time to fight.
35:43
Speaker 8: That You're turn for Christmas and for the kids.
35:49
Speaker 2: So who are these protests anyway? I've got even Meyer
35:53
Speaker 2: on the run. Well, A spokesman calls herself Amy Settle.
35:58
Speaker 2: That is lattes spelled backwards. But there's otherwise no trace
36:03
Speaker 2: of her online. Her name just pops up on a
36:05
Speaker 2: statement announcing this protest on an Instagram page called Trauman
36:08
Speaker 2: oak Lattes run by an anonymous woman saying she's a Muslim, lesbian,
36:14
Speaker 2: single mum with a chronic disability. Yeah, that statement got
36:19
Speaker 2: picked up by other Propelacinian activists and meyer buckled makes
36:23
Speaker 2: you want I've really become that spineless? Join me a
36:26
Speaker 2: Damien Koury, a corporate communications consultant, host of his own
36:29
Speaker 2: video podcast, The Other Side, and Stephen Trevera, an author
36:33
Speaker 2: and senior lecturer in history Campion College expertise Western Civilization. Stephen,
36:39
Speaker 2: I think what upsets people most like I say, it
36:42
Speaker 2: is not that this protest does exist, There's always going
36:44
Speaker 2: to be some, but that they so often now seen
36:47
Speaker 2: to get their way writing people's face and don't get
36:50
Speaker 2: put back in their place by authorities.
36:53
Speaker 9: Exactly.
36:53
Speaker 13: Australians have no problem with protesting what we don't like
36:58
Speaker 13: and what we are seeing increasingly is that Australia is
37:01
Speaker 13: going down the path of what the UK has gone
37:04
Speaker 13: down and the US has gone down, and that is
37:05
Speaker 13: two tier policing when it comes to these sorts of things.
37:09
Speaker 13: In the UK you can be in the streets screaming
37:13
Speaker 13: support for terrorism, screaming out terrorist slogans, and the police
37:17
Speaker 13: will almost escort you to where you want to go.
37:19
Speaker 13: But if you criticize, and if you're like a Tommy Robinson,
37:22
Speaker 13: you get thrown into prison. In the US, the Black
37:25
Speaker 13: Lives Matter riots tore up cities around America, causing billions
37:28
Speaker 13: of dollars of damages, dozens of deaths. And yet the
37:31
Speaker 13: Democrats were bailing people out of prison who'd involved themselves
37:34
Speaker 13: in the riots. But the January sixth rioters, well many
37:37
Speaker 13: of them went to prison. In Australia, the same kind
37:39
Speaker 13: of thing. You've had people yelling out pro terrorist sentiments
37:43
Speaker 13: in Australia of late, yelling out horrible anti Semitic statements
37:47
Speaker 13: like where's the Jews? And yet and you've got this
37:50
Speaker 13: as well. And yet you know, for example, when people
37:53
Speaker 13: protested the lockdowns during the COVID years, they had rubber
37:57
Speaker 13: bullet shot at them. So we're going down the dark
38:00
Speaker 13: path that has been gone down in the UK and
38:03
Speaker 13: the US, and it's something Australians actually need to really
38:06
Speaker 13: stand against and call it out for. These people have
38:09
Speaker 13: no right to stop people from viewing this Christmas display.
38:13
Speaker 13: It is not in their right to do that, and
38:14
Speaker 13: they need to be arrested as long as they do
38:16
Speaker 13: do that.
38:19
Speaker 2: How do your resten though, Damien Curry? I mean, what
38:22
Speaker 2: is to be done?
38:24
Speaker 9: Well, I think you've got to start enforcing the law.
38:26
Speaker 2: And the laws are there.
38:27
Speaker 6: We've seen it apply it, as Stephen said, to one
38:30
Speaker 6: group of people, it's not applied to this group of people.
38:32
Speaker 6: This is pure racism. There are racial vilification laws. This
38:35
Speaker 6: is clearly anti Semitism. The only reason they're protesting Maya
38:39
Speaker 6: is because it was founded by a Jewish family, and
38:42
Speaker 6: I guess it's now you know. I mean it's public
38:44
Speaker 6: instant company. One of the biggest shareholders is Solomon Lose Company,
38:48
Speaker 6: So I guess it's still a bit Jewish, is it?
38:49
Speaker 6: I mean, is that what we're doing here? And we're
38:51
Speaker 6: going to allow these people to get away with this? No,
38:54
Speaker 6: we have to start enforcing those laws if we're going
38:56
Speaker 6: to have those laws and enforcing them equally. But what
38:59
Speaker 6: amazes me, and you're what concerns me is a corporate
39:02
Speaker 6: communications person, is the fact that these companies keep caving
39:06
Speaker 6: in to these lunatic protesters. Be very careful when you
39:11
Speaker 6: cave into the woke, to the lunatics, to the extreme
39:14
Speaker 6: noisy people on one side, because you will equally offend
39:17
Speaker 6: or maybe even more offend the majority of silent people
39:20
Speaker 6: on the other. It's a bad business decision.
39:24
Speaker 2: But what would you say that, Damien, as a corporate
39:26
Speaker 2: communications consultant, if you may have comes to you and say, look,
39:29
Speaker 2: if we do go ahead with this big opening, we're
39:32
Speaker 2: going to have more protests come. You'd have crying children,
39:36
Speaker 2: angry people, you can have people punch up and all that,
39:39
Speaker 2: and this will be terrible for our image and people
39:41
Speaker 2: like get hurt.
39:41
Speaker 6: So what do you say, Well, what you do is
39:45
Speaker 6: I mean, obviously you want to mitigate any physical activity
39:48
Speaker 6: or physical issues that could arise. Yes, okay, so you
39:52
Speaker 6: need to have security there. But you've got to stand
39:54
Speaker 6: your ground and you have to be very proactive and
39:56
Speaker 6: make very strong public statements about the fact that you're
39:59
Speaker 6: not going to permit politicization of certain things, that you're
40:02
Speaker 6: not going to take a political stand that you're a
40:04
Speaker 6: department store or whatever you are as a business. But
40:07
Speaker 6: you have to understand and when they make these decisions
40:10
Speaker 6: in these corporate boardrooms, they always err to the easy
40:13
Speaker 6: way out. They think it's the easy way out, and
40:15
Speaker 6: it's often not because if you listen to the squeaky wheels,
40:19
Speaker 6: the noisy protesters, and you ignore the silent majority, the
40:23
Speaker 6: backlash and impact on the business, both in terms of reputation,
40:26
Speaker 6: brand and the bottom line can be more severe. And
40:29
Speaker 6: that's what Australian company's got to start.
40:30
Speaker 2: I hope you're right. I hope you're right. I've got
40:33
Speaker 2: to say to the people that mas Israel wasn't built
40:35
Speaker 2: with that kind of backbone. But Stephen, you know it's
40:38
Speaker 2: also the sheer ignorance to these people, both arrogant and stupid,
40:43
Speaker 2: which is a killer combination. You take this same Victoria
40:46
Speaker 2: police equals the Nazis. I mean, how can you possibly
40:49
Speaker 2: quote them to the Nazis if you know that the
40:53
Speaker 2: Nazis massacre at six million Jews, as well as Roma
40:55
Speaker 2: Gaze and the disabled and all the wars they created,
40:58
Speaker 2: et cetera, cetera, but that the protests are holding this time,
41:01
Speaker 2: that this was a reasoning for comparing the police to Nazis.
41:07
Speaker 2: To this, like Nazis, you're.
41:14
Speaker 9: A freaking white woman.
41:16
Speaker 6: Very aware, very aware of my.
41:18
Speaker 2: Color as a white person, you look like a Nazis
41:24
Speaker 2: is a white woman. What do you make of that?
41:27
Speaker 13: Well, it shows actually that these people are actual liars,
41:30
Speaker 13: because if they genuinely thought that the police were Nazis
41:33
Speaker 13: and they're under some kind of Nazi regime, they wouldn't
41:36
Speaker 13: be publicly calling it out. They'd be trying their best
41:39
Speaker 13: to flee the country. And it's the same with those
41:41
Speaker 13: celebrities in America and those politicians who are calling Trump
41:45
Speaker 13: a Nazi in the Mega movement, fascists and Nazi the
41:48
Speaker 13: only reason they publicly did that was because they knew
41:51
Speaker 13: that it wasn't true. If they really thought it was true,
41:54
Speaker 13: they'd be fleeing and in fear for their lives. These
41:57
Speaker 13: people are complete liars and they should not be taken remotely, seriously.
42:03
Speaker 2: And very quickly. I'm actually out of time, but squeezing
42:06
Speaker 2: a ten of fifteen second answer. Federal treasure Jim Chalmers
42:09
Speaker 2: said today is going to force shops to accept cash
42:12
Speaker 2: for essential items like food and petrol. What do you
42:15
Speaker 2: make of that?
42:17
Speaker 13: Well, like people should be able to conduct this in English.
42:24
Speaker 6: That's right, people should be able to use cash.
42:27
Speaker 9: We speak English in Australia.
42:29
Speaker 13: We use Australian currency, we obey Australian laws.
42:34
Speaker 2: Gentlemen, Steve d Damian Curry, thank you both for your time.
42:38
Speaker 2: Sorry so short after the break fighting back against peak
42:42
Speaker 2: woke with this to the kracker. I mentioned before my
42:50
Speaker 2: sense that many Australians feel lesser control of their freedoms
42:54
Speaker 2: and feel that the police are less control of the
42:56
Speaker 2: people threatening those freedoms. In Britain, same thing as Steven
43:00
Speaker 2: Vara was saying, but now a fight back there as well.
43:02
Speaker 2: In July at Manchester Airport, three police, two of them women,
43:06
Speaker 2: were attacked by Muslim men they were trying to control
43:09
Speaker 2: after an altercation involving their mother. Now the two policewomen
43:12
Speaker 2: were knocked down, one at a nose reportedly broken, and
43:15
Speaker 2: the mail officer, no doubt, feeling in great danger, kicked
43:19
Speaker 2: one of the Muslim men in the head, which is
43:20
Speaker 2: not good, but to make sure he stayed down, it seems, oh,
43:24
Speaker 2: kicking a Muslim that led to race protests, claims of
43:27
Speaker 2: police racism, and the officer was stood down by the
43:30
Speaker 2: Muslim brothers were let free without charges, no charges except
43:35
Speaker 2: now MP Naja Farage, lead the Reform Party says, here's
43:39
Speaker 2: today launching a private prosecution to end what he calls
43:43
Speaker 2: to your policing, joined me from London, is right to
43:47
Speaker 2: broadcast and commentator Esther Krakhus the greatest thing Again, Look,
43:51
Speaker 2: is this a stunt do you think? Or a genuine
43:53
Speaker 2: response to a genuine problem.
43:56
Speaker 14: I think it's a genuine response and it's a long
43:59
Speaker 14: time come. I don't really want to live in a
44:01
Speaker 14: country and I'm sure many people agree where you can
44:03
Speaker 14: assault the police, break their noses and then play the
44:07
Speaker 14: victim and get off with no charges. The country is
44:09
Speaker 14: still waiting for these people that assaulted the police officers
44:12
Speaker 14: to be charged, and the charges are nowhere to be seen.
44:15
Speaker 14: Now if Manchester Police, which at some point was actually
44:19
Speaker 14: refusing to release the full footage to give the public
44:22
Speaker 14: the full idea of what happened, we would still think
44:24
Speaker 14: that the police are so incompetent and so inept and
44:27
Speaker 14: so poorly trained that they just go around kicking people
44:29
Speaker 14: in the head. Can you believe these two brothers had
44:31
Speaker 14: a press conference with a lawyer.
44:33
Speaker 1: How many people do.
44:34
Speaker 14: You know that assault police officers that can get a
44:36
Speaker 14: lawyer and put together a press conference to play the victim.
44:39
Speaker 14: But that is what happened, and in two tier Keys, Britain,
44:43
Speaker 14: we still haven't seen any charges for that, and you
44:45
Speaker 14: have to wonder why anyone who want to serve in
44:46
Speaker 14: the police force. They're understaffed, they're underpaid, they're under resourced,
44:50
Speaker 14: and now when they're being assaulted by members of the public,
44:52
Speaker 14: which is happening more and more frequently, their own police
44:55
Speaker 14: forces work against them to not release the full information
44:58
Speaker 14: to the public and squash misconceper about a very stretched
45:01
Speaker 14: police force. It's a complete disaster.
45:05
Speaker 2: So why no charges do you think.
45:09
Speaker 14: Because it would be the politically correct thing to do,
45:11
Speaker 14: or we know that in two tier Kires Britain, the
45:13
Speaker 14: only people that get charges and get thrown in prison
45:15
Speaker 14: are people that put up Facebook posts and tweets that
45:17
Speaker 14: the state doesn't like. You would have read that The
45:19
Speaker 14: Telegraph columnist Alison Pearson was visited by Essex police on
45:23
Speaker 14: Remember and Sunday for a tweet that she put up
45:25
Speaker 14: and then I believe subsequent deleted over a year ago.
45:29
Speaker 14: The person that reported this tweet was seen as the victim.
45:32
Speaker 14: She wasn't allowed to know what tweet it was. She
45:33
Speaker 14: wasn't allowed to know the background or the circumstances or
45:35
Speaker 14: anything of anything of the sort. But the police officers
45:39
Speaker 14: decided to use finite police resources to go and tackle
45:42
Speaker 14: tweets and potentially put people in jail for those they're
45:45
Speaker 14: naturally tackling burglaries and stabbings and real crimes and are
45:48
Speaker 14: affecting real people in this country.
45:53
Speaker 2: Look, I keep hoping that we've reached peak work, you know,
45:56
Speaker 2: woke as a joke or whatever. Look, but honestly, your country.
46:01
Speaker 2: I don't want to sound like I'm always putting you
46:03
Speaker 2: in the dock about your country here, but seriously, the
46:06
Speaker 2: latest example, Professor Katherine Yusoff of London's Queen Mary University
46:12
Speaker 2: says that the subject of geology would you believe is
46:15
Speaker 2: riven by systemic racism and colonialism her new books as
46:20
Speaker 2: geology began as a colonial practice that created hierarchies, promoted materialism,
46:25
Speaker 2: destroyed environments, led to climate change, theft of land, the
46:29
Speaker 2: white supremacy of the planet, and geo trauma. Now, I've
46:33
Speaker 2: got to say, I have to wonder if she's a
46:35
Speaker 2: bit of a racist herself, since she claims non white
46:38
Speaker 2: people have a closer relationship to land than white people.
46:41
Speaker 2: But from what I've seen and read from her esther.
46:45
Speaker 2: I think she has such awful trouble to explain herself.
46:48
Speaker 2: I don't think she even understands what she's saying. Haven't
46:50
Speaker 2: listened to this her answer to a student who is
46:52
Speaker 2: right on her racism track.
46:55
Speaker 15: This capitalist colonialism still is like impacting daily life life
47:00
Speaker 15: socially racially and had impacted the material economy. Like, I
47:06
Speaker 15: guess what ways can designers or architects counteract this?
47:11
Speaker 16: If you think about the way in which we narrate materials,
47:14
Speaker 16: you know, like steel, you know, it's it's kind of
47:17
Speaker 16: it's an autonomous material, Like we don't want it to
47:20
Speaker 16: have kind of effective associations, right, It's like, you know,
47:25
Speaker 16: we want it to have this kind of clean narrative
47:27
Speaker 16: matter and the same you know kind of with you know,
47:32
Speaker 16: the marble that's in the capital for example, that came
47:35
Speaker 16: out of the you know, the the marble minds in Alabama.
47:41
Speaker 16: You know, it's like that forms that you know, it's
47:44
Speaker 16: so you know, you've got these kinds of you know,
47:47
Speaker 16: I think, you know, urban dialectics that are at work.
47:52
Speaker 2: What the hell is this professor talking about?
47:54
Speaker 14: Is that she keep saying, you know, but she knows
47:57
Speaker 14: that we don't know, and she certainly doesn't dialect. Even
48:01
Speaker 14: you even got in a great crip about paleontology and
48:04
Speaker 14: called it pale ontology as in the study of white.
48:07
Speaker 9: I'm I mean ludicrous.
48:10
Speaker 14: But you have to think, if these people are the professors,
48:13
Speaker 14: what chance do our children have if people are if
48:15
Speaker 14: young people are studying under professors like this, what chance
48:17
Speaker 14: do our children really have to to stave off this
48:19
Speaker 14: this this thought cancer. And unfortunately these kinds of people
48:23
Speaker 14: are are have become the representative of the left. The
48:26
Speaker 14: left have become a haven for the mentally unwell, and
48:29
Speaker 14: we lavish these people with degrees and accolades and titles,
48:33
Speaker 14: but we don't really but really uncomfortable with looking at
48:35
Speaker 14: the substance of what they say, because apparently that's that's
48:37
Speaker 14: your thought policing, or you're against academia or independent thoughts.
48:41
Speaker 9: This person is mad.
48:43
Speaker 14: It's just as simple as that.
48:46
Speaker 2: So true, it's the emperors in your clubs. Really don't
48:49
Speaker 2: dear cruticism. In case it's the cre great to talk
48:52
Speaker 2: to you. That's it from me now, Sherry Max, and
48:55
Speaker 2: good night.
49:00
Speaker 11: M
