Speaker 1: East reform it.
0:15
Speaker 2: Tonight Paris Games organizers give another fu to Christians, this
0:20
Speaker 2: time literally and abusively. Plus a crazy new plan from
0:25
Speaker 2: a desperate labor government in Queensland, a promise of government
0:29
Speaker 2: owned petrol stations. It really must be freaking out of
0:32
Speaker 2: the election. And Elop Musk sues people behind the kind
0:35
Speaker 2: of advertising ban that's been used against me and Sky
0:38
Speaker 2: News as well to silence conservatives. Well so tonight yet
0:42
Speaker 2: another fatal crocodile attack. Haven't got too many crops since
0:45
Speaker 2: hunting was banned. Plenty more coming up as well, but
0:48
Speaker 2: first to America's presidential election. The News today just confirms
0:54
Speaker 2: that the result in November could be disaster for us too,
0:57
Speaker 2: because of the man that Democrat Candidatekamala Harris has just
1:00
Speaker 2: picked to be a vice president if she wins, as
1:03
Speaker 2: Pole suggests, she might Governor Tim Wall of the Great.
1:08
Speaker 3: State of Minnesota.
1:13
Speaker 2: Tim Waltz, the Minnesota governor. That would make Kamala Harris
1:18
Speaker 2: with Waltz the most left wing team in the White
1:21
Speaker 2: House ever. I mean, this is history in a bad way,
1:24
Speaker 2: from White House to woke House. And if the world's
1:28
Speaker 2: looking for leadership, Dear God, now It's true that Harris
1:32
Speaker 2: picked Waltz in part because of the same stupid identity
1:36
Speaker 2: politics that got her totally unqualified the job as America's
1:40
Speaker 2: vice president nearly four years ago. I mean, Harris was
1:43
Speaker 2: picked by President Joe Barden as his running mate because
1:46
Speaker 2: she was a black woman, and that was the balance
1:49
Speaker 2: pardon being a white man. But it seems this identity
1:52
Speaker 2: politics cuts both ways now that Harris is the Democrat candidate.
1:55
Speaker 2: She just picked, of course, a white man. What's more,
1:59
Speaker 2: a white man being sold as a solid plane talker
2:03
Speaker 2: from the Midwest, which Harris also needs to balance her
2:07
Speaker 2: because she's a miss far left word salad from woke California.
2:12
Speaker 2: But how much of this supposed balance is simply a lie?
2:17
Speaker 4: You see?
2:17
Speaker 2: Picking Waltz is an awful lot about Harris, and none
2:20
Speaker 2: of it good when you look closely. Donald Trump, in fact,
2:23
Speaker 2: has been trailing Harris in the polls, is now gloating.
2:26
Speaker 4: He says.
2:26
Speaker 2: Picking Waltz makes this Democrat pairing Harrison Waltz the most
2:31
Speaker 2: radical left duo in American history, and Trump's own running
2:35
Speaker 2: mate is Jade Vance says exactly the same.
2:39
Speaker 5: I think it's interesting, Actually they make an interesting tag
2:42
Speaker 5: team because, of course Tim Waltz allowed rioters to burn
2:45
Speaker 5: down Minneapolis in the summer of twenty twenty, and then
2:48
Speaker 5: the few who got caught, Kamala Harris helped bail them
2:50
Speaker 5: out of jail. My view on it is it just
2:52
Speaker 5: highlights how radical Kamala Harris says. This is a person
2:55
Speaker 5: who listened to the hamass wing of her own party
2:57
Speaker 5: and selecting a nominee.
3:00
Speaker 2: It's not just spin. For instance, this governor Waltz is
3:04
Speaker 2: himself so woke that he ordered tampons to be made
3:07
Speaker 2: available even in boys' bathrooms and schools. He's allowed supposedly
3:12
Speaker 2: transgender children to get sex changes, has given illegal immigrants
3:16
Speaker 2: full social welfare benefits, which is handy because Harris Barden's
3:19
Speaker 2: board at TZARA as mean while let in ten million
3:21
Speaker 2: of them. And he signed in new laws last year
3:24
Speaker 2: removing any limits at all to abortion so that you
3:27
Speaker 2: can have bought even a perfectly healthy baby in Minnesota
3:30
Speaker 2: at nine months. And of course he is also global
3:33
Speaker 2: and believer with net zero policy so extreme that our
3:36
Speaker 2: own climate changement is that Chris Bowen admires him. But
3:41
Speaker 2: most damaging so far as Jeddie Fance suggested, are these
3:45
Speaker 2: claims that Waltz is so weak or woke that he
3:48
Speaker 2: waited two days before sending in the National Guard to
3:53
Speaker 2: restore order. While Black Lives Matter protesters torched Minneapolis after
3:58
Speaker 2: police there killed their low black criminal, George Floyd, Walt's
4:02
Speaker 2: fiddled while his Minneapolis burned, leaving smoking ruins. Writers also
4:07
Speaker 2: looted shops, but Walt's instead made inflammatory speeches seeming to
4:11
Speaker 2: condone the writer's violent anger while his wife got high
4:16
Speaker 2: sniffing the smoke from the fires. You listen, it's amazing.
4:21
Speaker 6: I refuse to have it take away the attention of
4:26
Speaker 6: the stain that we need to.
4:27
Speaker 1: Be working on, is what happened with those fundamental institutional racism.
4:32
Speaker 7: I could smell the burning tires and that that was
4:41
Speaker 7: a very real thing, and I kept the windows open
4:44
Speaker 7: for as long as I could because I felt like
4:46
Speaker 7: that was such a touchstone of what was happening.
4:50
Speaker 4: Hmmm, that's not just work.
4:52
Speaker 2: That's scary, especially since Kamla Harris was meanwhile helping to
4:56
Speaker 2: raise bail money for rioters it had been arrested. Now,
5:00
Speaker 2: there's one other thing that should make you wonder why
5:02
Speaker 2: Harris picked this schmuck as her running mate when he
5:04
Speaker 2: doesn't even lead one of the crucial states she needs
5:07
Speaker 2: to win. It's a very damaging thing, especially given Waltz
5:10
Speaker 2: is up against Jadie Vance Trump's running mate, the former
5:14
Speaker 2: marine who served in Afghanistan. Waltz himself, yes, he served
5:18
Speaker 2: in his National Guard for twenty four years, becoming command
5:21
Speaker 2: Sergeant major. Patriotic, except he quit during the War on
5:26
Speaker 2: Terror just after he heard his unit was being transferred
5:29
Speaker 2: to Iraq, and the man who replaced them as command
5:32
Speaker 2: sergeant major says, well, they needed to hit the ground
5:34
Speaker 2: running and take care of the troops and tell them
5:37
Speaker 2: we were going to war. For a guy in that position,
5:40
Speaker 2: Waltz's to quit is cowardice, a traitor. So why din
5:47
Speaker 2: Harris picked Wealds to be a vice president if he's elected,
5:50
Speaker 2: rather than say, Joshapiro governor of Pennsylvania. That's our battleground state.
5:54
Speaker 2: She really does need to win. And there are three
5:56
Speaker 2: theories no flattering to Harris. One she actually prefers well
6:00
Speaker 2: who spoke leftism. Two Shapiro is too smart for her,
6:03
Speaker 2: too ambitious, he show her up unlike Waltz.
6:08
Speaker 4: And three Shapiro is Jewish, and.
6:10
Speaker 2: Harris doesn' want to offend people who hate Israel, including
6:13
Speaker 2: people who just don't like Jews. But Shapiro was still there,
6:18
Speaker 2: good team player. That Pennsylvania rally where Harris introduced Waltz
6:22
Speaker 2: and he led the crowd in a chant that is
6:24
Speaker 2: Waltz's playground contribution to political debate.
6:29
Speaker 1: He's a weirdo.
6:42
Speaker 2: And they say Donald Trump is bad. Well, if that's
6:44
Speaker 2: the Democrats under Kamala Harris, then save us all. If
6:47
Speaker 2: she's the next president of the United States. So Kamala
6:55
Speaker 2: Harris and Donald Trump, well, that might be a real
6:57
Speaker 2: dilemma for William Barr because he was President Trump's attorney general.
7:02
Speaker 2: He was also President George Bush Senior's attorney general, and
7:05
Speaker 2: Barr recently publishes terrific memoirs, One Damn Thing after another,
7:10
Speaker 2: highly recommended, and he wrote that Trump achieved a lot,
7:14
Speaker 2: but in the end was too selfish, too abusive, to
7:17
Speaker 2: antagonizing expressily to women to become president again. In fact,
7:21
Speaker 2: Barck we had discussed after Trump falsely claimed he'd lost
7:25
Speaker 2: the election to Joe Budden because of voting fraud. William
7:29
Speaker 2: Barr joins me. Now, William Barr, I'm so glad you've
7:32
Speaker 2: been able to join us. I've been looking forward to this.
7:36
Speaker 2: You have a tough choice now, and I know it's
7:38
Speaker 2: not one you'd have chosen, but it's the only one
7:41
Speaker 2: America has.
7:42
Speaker 4: Kamala Harris or Donald Trump.
7:47
Speaker 8: Well, to me, it's not a close question. Obviously I
7:49
Speaker 8: didn't support Trump for the nomination, but now that we
7:54
Speaker 8: have this choice, I think clearly that Trump would be
7:57
Speaker 8: a better president for the United States.
8:02
Speaker 2: And yet you were very scathing of Donald Trump. You
8:05
Speaker 2: quit at the end of your time with him as
8:08
Speaker 2: Attorney general. He's had convictions and all this kind of stuff,
8:13
Speaker 2: the language, the abuse, and he hasn't stopped on that.
8:16
Speaker 2: I think it's hurting his campaign. What makes you think
8:19
Speaker 2: is still better than Kamala Harris.
8:22
Speaker 8: Well, I think you know, his policies are clearly better
8:27
Speaker 8: for the United States, his economic policies, his national defense policies,
8:32
Speaker 8: and I think although they like to say he's a
8:36
Speaker 8: threat to democracy, actually I think that the left, the
8:39
Speaker 8: collectivist left, is the greater threat to democracy. And you know,
8:47
Speaker 8: their attempt to rule through non democratic institutions such as
8:51
Speaker 8: the court system, and when the courts can't be manipulated
8:55
Speaker 8: the way they have in the past then through administrative agencies.
9:00
Speaker 8: Gender is fundamentally totalitarian in the sense that it tries
9:03
Speaker 8: the control what people think and say. You know, democracy
9:09
Speaker 8: is about involves more than voting. It involves to liberation
9:12
Speaker 8: and speech and its free exchange of ideas, and they
9:16
Speaker 8: have suppressed that. I don't think we've ever had the
9:20
Speaker 8: kind of suppression of speech as we've had recently in
9:25
Speaker 8: the United States, and that's authored by the left.
9:30
Speaker 2: And as you detail in your memoirs too, the kind
9:33
Speaker 2: of attacks that Donald Trump was subjected to, and it's
9:36
Speaker 2: still being I mean, these prosecutions against them, I think
9:39
Speaker 2: just I'm not a conspiracy theorist there, William Barron, you're
9:43
Speaker 2: the lawyer, you're the former attorney general under two presidents,
9:46
Speaker 2: et cetera, cetera. But some of these prosecutions seem to
9:49
Speaker 2: me to speak almost like conspiracy theory, territory politically motivated
9:55
Speaker 2: prosecutions of Donald Trump. Is that how you see it?
9:59
Speaker 8: Yes, I think the abuse of the criminal justice process
10:02
Speaker 8: has been underway for a while in the United States.
10:05
Speaker 8: I think it was instigated by the left, and they
10:07
Speaker 8: use it as a political tool. You know, it's not
10:10
Speaker 8: enough to disagree with your adversary, they have to be
10:14
Speaker 8: labeled and established as a criminal. And you know, as
10:18
Speaker 8: I say, this has been building for decades, but it's
10:22
Speaker 8: part of the anything goes tactics of the left. Anything
10:26
Speaker 8: goes to win power and politics of personal destruction emanated
10:32
Speaker 8: from the left, and the use of the abuse of
10:35
Speaker 8: the criminal justice process has been one of their primary tools. No, unfortunately,
10:41
Speaker 8: that necessarily leads to a reaction, and there are people
10:43
Speaker 8: on the right that essentially view themselves as the mirror
10:46
Speaker 8: image and a top many of the same tactics of
10:50
Speaker 8: the left. But I think the source of the problem
10:52
Speaker 8: is on the left.
10:56
Speaker 2: Well exactly right. I mean, we've seen one extreme is
11:00
Speaker 2: galvanizing another extreme and shrinking the middle.
11:03
Speaker 4: You've had little to.
11:04
Speaker 2: Do with Kamala Harris, it seems to me, I know,
11:07
Speaker 2: in your memoi, as you say, she even refused to
11:10
Speaker 2: meet you when you're being considered for attorney general. You
11:13
Speaker 2: were going around to Democrats saying, you know, this is
11:15
Speaker 2: what I am. What kind of president would she be?
11:19
Speaker 2: From your understanding of it, well, I.
11:22
Speaker 8: Would say there was You know, it's funny a lot
11:24
Speaker 8: of the traditional liberals and progressives on the Hill met
11:29
Speaker 8: with me when I was up for confirmation. We had
11:31
Speaker 8: very good exchanges and we had a working relationship going forward.
11:36
Speaker 8: She was part of sort of this little group of
11:38
Speaker 8: lefty loons that you know, just absolutely refuse to even
11:42
Speaker 8: talk or what kind of president she would be. I
11:46
Speaker 8: think she I think one of her main one of
11:49
Speaker 8: my main concerns is I don't think she's a clear thinker.
11:52
Speaker 8: My father used to say, if you can't speak clearly,
11:54
Speaker 8: you're not thinking clearly. And she doesn't speak clearly, because
11:58
Speaker 8: I don't think she thinks clearly. And I think that
12:04
Speaker 8: she doesn't have any strong principles other than sort of
12:08
Speaker 8: the far left agenda that is essential to have if
12:12
Speaker 8: you're going to get the nomination for president from the
12:15
Speaker 8: Democratic Party. So I'm concerned about her embrace of the
12:20
Speaker 8: green agenda, the heavy regulation of our economy, which is
12:24
Speaker 8: strangling the growth and opportunity from our economy and killing
12:30
Speaker 8: jobs in the United States, the kinds of jobs we
12:33
Speaker 8: need more of. I think she doesn't have much experience
12:37
Speaker 8: in foreign policy, and from what I've seen, it's sort
12:40
Speaker 8: of she's ineffective in the Council's foreign policy councils, And
12:48
Speaker 8: I think right now the West is moving into the
12:50
Speaker 8: most dangerous period we have since the nineteen thirties. In fact,
12:54
Speaker 8: in many ways more dangerous because we we've have multiple,
12:57
Speaker 8: multiple challenges from coming from different sources. And it concerns
13:02
Speaker 8: me that this is the person who will be the
13:04
Speaker 8: leader of the free world. She doesn't have the background.
13:07
Speaker 8: She's gotten everything. From what I can tell, she's gotten
13:10
Speaker 8: everything life in her position is not due to accomplishment
13:16
Speaker 8: or competence, but to other factors.
13:23
Speaker 2: Yes, particularly males picking her for certain jobs. Just finally,
13:29
Speaker 2: Governor Waltz, you would have had something to do with
13:32
Speaker 2: him during the Black Lives Matter riots because you were
13:38
Speaker 2: taking a part in trying to bring perpetratores to justice.
13:42
Speaker 2: Try to stop the well, at least try to stop
13:45
Speaker 2: the rioting.
13:46
Speaker 4: What do you make of this man?
13:50
Speaker 8: Well, it speaks volumes about where the Democratic Party is
13:53
Speaker 8: that they pick this individual over other leaders like Josh Shapiro,
13:59
Speaker 8: the governor of Pennsylvania, or Kelly of Arizona, which actually
14:03
Speaker 8: would have complicated like a lot for the Republicans. So
14:08
Speaker 8: in one sense it's a lost opportunity for the Democrats.
14:12
Speaker 8: But I personally it does not give me confidence that
14:16
Speaker 8: this is a man who's ready to be president of
14:19
Speaker 8: the United States, as I say, in this dangerous world.
14:22
Speaker 8: And I felt that while ultimately, after a lot of
14:28
Speaker 8: cajoling and President Trump urging him to get the National
14:32
Speaker 8: Guard out, he eventually did it, and the National Guard
14:36
Speaker 8: did establish law and order again in Minnesota, but it
14:39
Speaker 8: took a long time for him to get there. So
14:42
Speaker 8: he's I think he is the furthest left of the
14:46
Speaker 8: choices that she had before her. I also think he
14:49
Speaker 8: has experience in foreign in foreign policy, which concerns me.
14:55
Speaker 2: That does indeed, because we see how it is possible
14:59
Speaker 2: for a sitting president to become almost totally incapacitated. Just
15:03
Speaker 2: as well that I think Barden has got only a
15:06
Speaker 2: six months or so to go. Maybe you can eke
15:08
Speaker 2: that out, will Embar. Fantastic to talk to you. Thank
15:11
Speaker 2: you so much for.
15:12
Speaker 8: Your time, thank you for having me, and it's great
15:15
Speaker 8: to talk to you.
15:17
Speaker 2: I'll be crossing later in the show to Paris for
15:20
Speaker 2: the latest on this Australian athlete arrested allegedly with cocaine.
15:26
Speaker 2: We shall see what we shall see. For now, I'm
15:30
Speaker 2: wondering if the Reserve Bank governor is strong enough, strong
15:33
Speaker 2: enough to stand up to the Albneazy government.
15:36
Speaker 1: Yes.
15:36
Speaker 2: The nam Michelle Bullock Yes, with the rest of the board,
15:39
Speaker 2: decided not to hike interest rates again, even though she
15:41
Speaker 2: admitted inflation is still way too high and will take
15:44
Speaker 2: around two more years to get it down to where
15:47
Speaker 2: it should be. The government show like that, not raising
15:51
Speaker 2: interest rates, but two Bullok yesterday also danced through hoops
15:56
Speaker 2: not to criticize this government for adding to inflation, but
15:59
Speaker 2: just spending too much. This is a response when she's
16:02
Speaker 2: asked the if the Abernezi government spending was increasing inflation.
16:08
Speaker 6: Yes, the public demand has been revised up, but there's
16:12
Speaker 6: other elements of the economy in which demand has been
16:15
Speaker 6: revised down, and the extent to which public demand is
16:18
Speaker 6: offsetting weakness in private demand, it's not necessarily putting upward
16:22
Speaker 6: pressure on inflation. So I sort of would sort of
16:26
Speaker 6: encourage you to think a bit more broadly.
16:29
Speaker 2: But the Reserve Bank's own official statement does admit quite straightforwardly,
16:35
Speaker 2: although in jargon the government spending is a problem that
16:39
Speaker 2: it says the slow return to target inflation is due
16:42
Speaker 2: to greater inflationary pressures in the economy. In part, this
16:45
Speaker 2: owes through a stronger outlook for domestic demand led by
16:49
Speaker 2: a higher public demand which means higher government spending. Why
16:53
Speaker 2: didn't the governor say so straight out? Joining me at
16:56
Speaker 2: Cameron Milner Formative staff to Labor Leader Bill Shorten now
16:59
Speaker 2: Directive of Strategies and Michael Costa forming New South Wales
17:03
Speaker 2: Labor Treasurer and Michael Costa. Why didn't the Reserve Bank
17:06
Speaker 2: government just sound the alarm, you know, get out the
17:08
Speaker 2: stick the ovenues and government or the state governments too
17:11
Speaker 2: are spending too much.
17:13
Speaker 9: Well, it's actually good that finally she's actually recognized that
17:16
Speaker 9: a public demand is the problem, because up to this
17:18
Speaker 9: point we.
17:19
Speaker 10: Never even got a muted acknowledgment of that.
17:22
Speaker 9: And you remember from budget night I said that it
17:24
Speaker 9: was over forty billion and other economists as well going
17:27
Speaker 9: into demand which was going to cause some problems going
17:30
Speaker 9: down a stream in terms of inflation outcomes. Look, I
17:34
Speaker 9: think she's trapped by the fact that the Treasurer changed
17:37
Speaker 9: the Reserve Bank's mandate. Remember we had a Reserve Bank
17:41
Speaker 9: that's prime focus was on price stability and certainly had
17:45
Speaker 9: to take into account employment, but that was changed in
17:48
Speaker 9: the reforms that they put through the Parliament earlier in
17:50
Speaker 9: the year to make these things actually of the same waiting,
17:54
Speaker 9: and that really puts some pressure on the Reserve Bank
17:57
Speaker 9: in terms of how it can meet both those objectives.
18:00
Speaker 9: That there's many people and I'm one of those that
18:02
Speaker 9: believes it's impossible for the Reserve Bank to meet those
18:05
Speaker 9: dual mandates. And in order to focus on price stability,
18:08
Speaker 9: you know, we've got a real problem going forward. The states,
18:12
Speaker 9: the subnational governments in this country are running debt levels
18:15
Speaker 9: that are just extraordinary, leaving aside by the federal governments.
18:19
Speaker 2: It's you're talking to Victorian here, don't tell me about that.
18:25
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not just Victoria.
18:26
Speaker 10: It's all of Amandra, New South Wales, queens.
18:29
Speaker 2: Well and speaking of Cameron, Cameron Milder speaking of that
18:33
Speaker 2: very point that just there that Michael just raised. Crazy
18:39
Speaker 2: government spending in your state. The Queensland government, labor there
18:43
Speaker 2: must be so desperate to get elected. It's now promising
18:46
Speaker 2: price caps on petrol so service stations can't raise prices
18:49
Speaker 2: by more than fives as the leader a day. But
18:51
Speaker 2: even crazier, it wants to set up twelve government owned
18:56
Speaker 2: petrol stations to reduce supposedly more competition, great idea or lunatic.
19:03
Speaker 11: Well, I'm a Queenslander, so I'm very concerned about fuel
19:06
Speaker 11: prices and I think every Queen's Lander is. And it's
19:08
Speaker 11: great to see that Stephen Miles is actually thinking outside
19:10
Speaker 11: the box as the federal treasurer. At least he's trying
19:13
Speaker 11: to create a way to break at Michael. I mean,
19:16
Speaker 11: we've let service stations and petrol stations rip us off
19:19
Speaker 11: for years and filmer treasurers have done nothing about it.
19:21
Speaker 11: At least Labor's got a plan. At least Labor's got
19:24
Speaker 11: a plan, and I think that's what people want to see.
19:27
Speaker 9: They want to phase out petrol cars Andrew remember that
19:30
Speaker 9: they want everybody to be driving evs.
19:32
Speaker 10: So what a boneheaded investment.
19:34
Speaker 9: Even if it made sense to if it could reduce
19:37
Speaker 9: the petrol prices. Look, that guy needs a you know,
19:40
Speaker 9: not a cognitive test, but an economic literacy test.
19:42
Speaker 4: This is just.
19:43
Speaker 9: Bonkers stuff, you know, And clearly the poles must be really.
19:47
Speaker 11: I think everything's on the table. I think everything's on
19:49
Speaker 11: the table, Michael.
19:50
Speaker 10: I think the poles are really bad for Queensland Labor.
19:53
Speaker 10: If this is where they're resorting to what happens with evs.
19:56
Speaker 10: Aren't we all moving to EV's and Andrew?
19:57
Speaker 1: Isn't that what we were told?
19:59
Speaker 2: I would?
20:00
Speaker 4: I thought so, But camera they'll have green energy for that.
20:02
Speaker 2: I mean, can you do you seriously think a government
20:07
Speaker 2: run petrol station would run cheaper than a privately run one.
20:13
Speaker 2: I think competition is what you need. And obviously what
20:15
Speaker 2: the carts Hells are doing are ripping off Queenslanders. So
20:18
Speaker 2: having Steve's servos if you want to call them back
20:21
Speaker 2: to try to break the monopoly of the big oil companies,
20:23
Speaker 2: the big multinationals, that's probably Steve's good idea for Queensland.
20:26
Speaker 4: And look, Queenslanders will.
20:27
Speaker 11: Get desired on October twenty six where they like his
20:30
Speaker 11: plan or don't like his plant.
20:31
Speaker 10: Why not supermarketing.
20:33
Speaker 2: It's such a great idea works Star at twelve Yes, exactly,
20:38
Speaker 2: state run butchership in Queensland. Vira, Look, you used to
20:45
Speaker 2: be well, very big, used to are really a legend,
20:49
Speaker 2: a big name in the Queensland Labor Party.
20:52
Speaker 4: Circles up there.
20:53
Speaker 2: So I'm not going to push you too hard, but
20:55
Speaker 2: I will ask you this, Premiers Anthony the urban easy
20:58
Speaker 2: he was going around what is a year ago with
21:02
Speaker 2: a t shirt demanding Voice, Voice, Treaty, truth, and he's
21:06
Speaker 2: now backing off all three. The Voice for referendum failed
21:09
Speaker 2: on the weekend. It suggested that we know Macarate commissioner there,
21:12
Speaker 2: which was supposed to negotiate the treaty and some supposed
21:15
Speaker 2: truth telling instead, is now offering to make out back.
21:18
Speaker 2: Aborigin is rich but giving him a cut from get
21:21
Speaker 2: this new wind and solar farms way out Bush, haven't.
21:25
Speaker 12: Look, we want projects generating energy energy on country to
21:31
Speaker 12: bring new economic empowerment to communities.
21:35
Speaker 4: Cany milloner.
21:35
Speaker 2: What do you make of all this?
21:38
Speaker 4: Well, I think it's really sad.
21:39
Speaker 11: I mean Albo said that his whole term of office
21:42
Speaker 11: was going to be about Voice, truth and treaty. He
21:44
Speaker 11: said that election night, he said that at Gama, and
21:47
Speaker 11: now it looks like he's running from reconciliation. It's actually
21:49
Speaker 11: really sad to see because so many of us actually
21:52
Speaker 11: want to see First Nations people improved. But selling them
21:55
Speaker 11: Chinese solar panels and foreign made wind turbines on cultural
22:00
Speaker 11: lands doesn't seem like a plan for reconciliation. And it
22:03
Speaker 11: sounds like, you know, Albow's running scared from the poles
22:05
Speaker 11: and also regrettably letting down First Nations people. And that's
22:08
Speaker 11: really sad to see, Mike. You know, Michael Andrew, I
22:11
Speaker 11: just don't think it's it's good to see from.
22:12
Speaker 2: The posers where I thought you really should be doing
22:15
Speaker 2: today about this.
22:17
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, thank you.
22:18
Speaker 2: I totally agree on that, except honestly, Michael Costa, what
22:23
Speaker 2: is he thinking?
22:24
Speaker 4: They're out at Ropa River at Boro Lula and you
22:27
Speaker 4: and the MoU all is out back, you know, a
22:30
Speaker 4: far north Cape York.
22:32
Speaker 2: They're going to make a motza from who's going to
22:35
Speaker 2: build solar panels and wind farms so far from the
22:39
Speaker 2: national grid?
22:40
Speaker 9: That's exactly right. Who's going to pay for the transmission lines?
22:43
Speaker 9: You know, we've already got an energy system that's failing
22:46
Speaker 9: and an energy strategy that can't work because of the
22:48
Speaker 9: transmission lines.
22:50
Speaker 10: So he's going to put solar panels.
22:51
Speaker 9: Where at alex Springs and try and get that electricity
22:54
Speaker 9: to Sydney.
22:54
Speaker 10: It's bonkers stuff. It's desperation and he's scratching around, you.
22:59
Speaker 9: Know, he's failed the voice and he's failing all over
23:02
Speaker 9: the place.
23:02
Speaker 2: At the moment, Well, that's the best idea that his
23:06
Speaker 2: new average Indigenous Astralians Mientster can give him. She better
23:10
Speaker 2: hit the books very hard because that is a Turkey
23:14
Speaker 2: Kareron Milner, Michael Costa, thank you very much to you both.
23:19
Speaker 4: Wow the mad ideas going around now.
23:22
Speaker 2: After the break, proof that you have been gone and
23:26
Speaker 2: for decades about this dying Great Barrier Reef and a
23:30
Speaker 2: police officer explains why British police didn't police a violent
23:35
Speaker 2: Muslim protest. You won't believe it. As I said before
23:42
Speaker 2: the break, will later have more from Paris on this
23:45
Speaker 2: Australian hockey player have chucked in the clink allegedly for
23:51
Speaker 2: trying to buy cocaine. We don't know more, we shall see.
23:53
Speaker 2: This is a press conference is going to happen probably
23:56
Speaker 2: as we speak. How much longer though our Australian is
23:59
Speaker 2: going to let themselves be fooled by the oldest and
24:02
Speaker 2: most stupid scare of our global warming alarmists. Now, for
24:06
Speaker 2: more than two decades we have been told the Great
24:09
Speaker 2: Barrier Reef is dying, if not dead already, I need
24:12
Speaker 2: to be told this week Wopp's record coral cover instead
24:16
Speaker 2: the Australian Institute of Marine Science. Yes, that are conceded
24:19
Speaker 2: two of the reefs three region had record coral cover
24:22
Speaker 2: last summer, and the third had the highest cover in
24:25
Speaker 2: more than twenty five years. But the Institute even now
24:28
Speaker 2: can't let go of this ski you know, it said, oh, yes, yes, yes,
24:32
Speaker 2: But two cyclones over summer and lengthy marine heat wave
24:35
Speaker 2: with a record spread of coral bleaching that points to
24:37
Speaker 2: the extremely fragile nature of the reef. But boy have
24:40
Speaker 2: we heard that so many times. In fact, for a
24:43
Speaker 2: quarter of a century, I have warned this kind of
24:46
Speaker 2: doom preaching by experts and the media. It cannot be
24:50
Speaker 2: trusted given how often the reef bruising wrong. For instance,
24:54
Speaker 2: in two thousand we're told by Queenstain University researchers the
24:57
Speaker 2: Great Barrier Reef faces destruction within the next century. Fast
25:01
Speaker 2: forward to two thousand and twelve. Half the Great Barrier
25:04
Speaker 2: Reef will be gone in under thirty years. In twenty sixteen,
25:08
Speaker 2: the Great Barrier Reef half dead, already ninety three percent bleached.
25:13
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty one, climate change, ninety nine percent of
25:17
Speaker 2: the reef could be wiped out by twenty twenty five. Ay,
25:20
Speaker 2: that's next year. And also that year climate tasterrourus David Attenborough.
25:25
Speaker 13: Half the reefs corals have already died. We're heading for
25:30
Speaker 13: the future in which the Great Batterer of Reef is
25:33
Speaker 13: a coral graveyard.
25:36
Speaker 2: Joining me on culture Wars is Roon Dean abserved the
25:39
Speaker 2: Spectator Australian hosts of Outsiders. You're on Sky News every
25:42
Speaker 2: Sunday at nine am. I never miss it. You shouldn't either, Rowan.
25:46
Speaker 2: I mean this is weird. I mean, how much longer
25:49
Speaker 2: before Australians see through these scares about the reef and
25:52
Speaker 2: journalists stop reporting them as if oh my god, this
25:54
Speaker 2: must be true.
25:58
Speaker 3: Well, the first thing that has to be said is
25:59
Speaker 3: an old mate, David Attenborough should for the damage he's
26:03
Speaker 3: done to the Queensland economy, in the Australian economy.
26:05
Speaker 1: He should be.
26:06
Speaker 3: Behind bars in my humble opinion, just joking, of course,
26:10
Speaker 3: but that documentary that David Attenberg did when all around
26:12
Speaker 3: the world. I was in a London cab a couple
26:15
Speaker 3: of years ago and the bloke said, oh, you're from Australia. Eah,
26:17
Speaker 3: I'd love to go to Australia. But there's no point
26:19
Speaker 3: anymore because the Great Barrier Reef is dead. I set
26:22
Speaker 3: him straight, and so the Great Barrier Reroof is not dead.
26:24
Speaker 3: He said, well, hang on, we've always been told that
26:26
Speaker 3: it's dead. The damage that has been done to the
26:28
Speaker 3: Queensland economy by this disgraceful false reporting of the death
26:33
Speaker 3: of the reef is utterly shameful. But the best way
26:37
Speaker 3: to find out the health of the reef, Andrew, is
26:40
Speaker 3: to actually go there yourself. And I urge Australians and
26:43
Speaker 3: people from all around the world to go to the
26:45
Speaker 3: Great Barrier Reof because it's absolutely gorgeous. Two people who
26:48
Speaker 3: have actually done the most important work on the Great
26:52
Speaker 3: Barrier Reef is Peter ridd and Jennifer Marrow Hayesi, both
26:55
Speaker 3: of them scientists in their own fields, who have exposed
26:59
Speaker 3: as you have said, your as you have done, as
27:01
Speaker 3: I have done as well for years now. But the
27:04
Speaker 3: health of the reef is fantastic. Go there, swim and
27:07
Speaker 3: see it for yourself. But they have been demonized. Peter Red,
27:11
Speaker 3: as we.
27:11
Speaker 1: Know, was cast out of his university.
27:13
Speaker 3: Jennifer has been demonized in her own way. I was
27:17
Speaker 3: a privileged to do documentary with the two of them
27:20
Speaker 3: where we swam out to John Brewer reef only last year,
27:24
Speaker 3: which had been shown by the Guardian only eighteen months
27:27
Speaker 3: earlier to be absolutely decimated. We swam to the very
27:30
Speaker 3: piece of coral that the Guardian had splashed all over
27:34
Speaker 3: their front.
27:34
Speaker 1: Page as proof of the dead reef.
27:37
Speaker 3: We found that piece of coral and it was alive
27:39
Speaker 3: and keecking in great health. Because coral changes. It changes
27:43
Speaker 3: with cyclones, it changes with the weather, It changed with
27:46
Speaker 3: all sorts of reasons, and bleaching occurs. It's a natural
27:49
Speaker 3: phenomenon and it regrows after the bleaching. Sometimes it's worse,
27:53
Speaker 3: sometimes it's better. But the reality is, Andrew, that the
27:57
Speaker 3: only way to know the health of the reef is
28:00
Speaker 3: to go there. And the tragedy is that the money,
28:04
Speaker 3: if you follow the money trail, the amount of money
28:07
Speaker 3: that gets poured.
28:07
Speaker 4: By it, Oh, that's it.
28:08
Speaker 3: Governments into bureaucracies who want to prove that the reef
28:12
Speaker 3: isn't doing well in order to keep the fundingcoming. Is
28:15
Speaker 3: a disgrace.
28:17
Speaker 2: Well, as you say, Peter Ridd lost his job lost
28:20
Speaker 2: his job by saying, hey, listen, you can't believe these scares.
28:22
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just so extraordinary. But I'll tell you what, Ryan,
28:26
Speaker 2: this kind of scare mongering. It's not just about the money, right,
28:30
Speaker 2: I mean, it's largely about the money, in my opinion,
28:32
Speaker 2: and the influence.
28:33
Speaker 4: And suddenly if you're a climate scientist, you're sexy and you.
28:36
Speaker 2: Get international affairs and people want to hear you on
28:39
Speaker 2: radio and TV, and I.
28:41
Speaker 4: Mean it's wonderful.
28:42
Speaker 2: But this kind of scare mongering that the ref will die,
28:45
Speaker 2: the world will run out of food, islands will all drown,
28:48
Speaker 2: all of it falls is exactly what gives moral bullies
28:52
Speaker 2: a wonderful license to go and destroy things and attack
28:56
Speaker 2: people and still feel good about it, like the ones
28:59
Speaker 2: who have vandalized now the home in Spain of soccer
29:02
Speaker 2: superstar Lione or Messi saying rich people like him do
29:06
Speaker 2: the most damage to the climate.
29:07
Speaker 4: I mean, don't you think this is also part of it?
29:10
Speaker 2: People getting off on bullying.
29:14
Speaker 3: Well, Andrew, when I saw the photo of what they
29:17
Speaker 3: did to Messi's apartment, I thought it was ledist modern
29:19
Speaker 3: arts and stam into the Candra Art Gallery or something
29:22
Speaker 3: like that. But it turns out that is, of course
29:23
Speaker 3: the vandalism on a massive scale, being perpetrated by kids
29:28
Speaker 3: who are probably older than kids who believe they have
29:30
Speaker 3: morality on their side, and the much as we and
29:35
Speaker 3: I find them repellent, the just oils just stop oil people,
29:38
Speaker 3: the extinction rebellion people, the damage again that they do
29:42
Speaker 3: to ordinary people's lives. One man was killed when extinction
29:46
Speaker 3: and rebellion wouldn't let an ambulance get through, which could
29:49
Speaker 3: have saved his life. These people are repellent, But just
29:53
Speaker 3: as repellent are those in the media and those in
29:56
Speaker 3: politics who support the myth that we are heading towards
30:00
Speaker 3: some kind of extinction, some kind of doomsday because of
30:03
Speaker 3: carbon dioxide emissions. They're the real ones because they give
30:06
Speaker 3: license to this madness. Rather than standing up against it,
30:09
Speaker 3: they give license to it. And then, of course who's
30:12
Speaker 3: surprised when when kids and others run.
30:15
Speaker 12: Around going convinced because they've been taught through twelve years
30:19
Speaker 12: of education, and then if they're stupid enough to go
30:21
Speaker 12: to university. At university as well, they are taught that
30:25
Speaker 12: this is happening, and they feel virtuous and they feel
30:28
Speaker 12: a desperate need to go out and vandalize society rather
30:31
Speaker 12: than you know, maybe getting a job or you know.
30:34
Speaker 10: Going exploring the great area rate because there is a
30:36
Speaker 10: direct link.
30:38
Speaker 2: There is a direct link between the rhetoric and this,
30:43
Speaker 2: you know, the violence or the intimidation or the bullying
30:46
Speaker 2: or the vandalism, and it's this. How often have you
30:49
Speaker 2: seen these people once they're holding court for blocking traffic
30:53
Speaker 2: or blocking trains or vandalizing. Oh yes, but I've got
30:57
Speaker 2: a choice. I've got to save the world from destruction.
31:00
Speaker 2: What's this vandalism compared to the death of the planet.
31:03
Speaker 2: So it is that apocalyptic thing. Direct link there. But
31:07
Speaker 2: now I'm going to give you as a warning here Rowan,
31:10
Speaker 2: I'm going to be showing some violent footage, but it's
31:13
Speaker 2: important here. I've been covering, as you know, and you
31:17
Speaker 2: did two on Sunday, the ethnic rights, their identity politics
31:20
Speaker 2: riots in Britain. British anti immigration rioters, Muslim gangs are
31:24
Speaker 2: all at it now. One thing you hear from the
31:27
Speaker 2: British nationalists is that the police and politicians are smashing
31:32
Speaker 2: them for going soft on Muslim counterprotests like this one
31:36
Speaker 2: that I covered last night in Birmingham. Muslim vigilantes taking
31:41
Speaker 2: over intersections, attacking people they suspected for anti immigration protesters,
31:45
Speaker 2: badly bashing one person, some carrying weapons, are some menacing
31:50
Speaker 2: TV crews reporting the scene, making them flee. And you'll
31:53
Speaker 2: notice in all this no police and it turns out, Rowan,
31:58
Speaker 2: that police actually made a special deal with Muslim leaders
32:02
Speaker 2: to back off.
32:03
Speaker 4: Listen to this.
32:05
Speaker 14: We had the opportunity to meet with community leaders, with
32:08
Speaker 14: business leaders prior to that event to kind of understand
32:11
Speaker 14: the style of policing that we needed to deliver. We
32:14
Speaker 14: knew who the vast majority of those people were. We'd
32:17
Speaker 14: had conversations in terms of what that was likely to
32:22
Speaker 14: look like, and so our police and response was commensurate
32:25
Speaker 14: to that intelligence and the information that we'd held with
32:29
Speaker 14: our partners and communities prior to that event taking place.
32:33
Speaker 2: Rowan, do you find it extraordinary that some tribal leaders
32:36
Speaker 2: are what we call community leaders now can get police
32:41
Speaker 2: not to police them. Oh, listen, we're going to be peaceful.
32:44
Speaker 2: But Anglo sex and protesters they don't seem to give
32:47
Speaker 2: that sort of license.
32:51
Speaker 3: There is a great sickness in Britain at the moment.
32:54
Speaker 3: It's not that the moment has been going on for
32:56
Speaker 3: twenty thirty years. And I'll choose my words carefully here,
33:00
Speaker 3: but it is the opposite of racism. It is a
33:04
Speaker 3: terrible fear of being labeled a racist, and this has
33:08
Speaker 3: permeated every single strata of British society. If you go
33:12
Speaker 3: over there as an Australian or as a visitor, you
33:15
Speaker 3: will run in. You will see this almost immediately if
33:18
Speaker 3: you make any comments such as an innocent sounding comment
33:22
Speaker 3: about for example, I made the mistake myself of saying,
33:26
Speaker 3: there's some friends that selfridge has reminded me of Abu
33:28
Speaker 3: Dhabi Airport, the shock and horror on their faces and
33:32
Speaker 3: the vitriol that then follows you racist.
33:35
Speaker 1: How dare you say something like that?
33:37
Speaker 3: Is quite frightening, and it reminds me of Stazi Germany
33:40
Speaker 3: or somewhere like that comment maybe MAOIs China, where that
33:44
Speaker 3: people are terrified that someone will overhear them saying X,
33:48
Speaker 3: Y or Z some kind of criticism about.
33:50
Speaker 10: The great Leader or whatever it might be.
33:52
Speaker 3: In Britain, the great leader that they are terrified of,
33:55
Speaker 3: the god that they are terrified of, is the god
33:58
Speaker 3: of racism, being labeled racism. So any criticism of any
34:02
Speaker 3: ethnic group or any community that is behaving in a
34:05
Speaker 3: way that maybe you think, oh hang on this saying
34:07
Speaker 3: quite right, You're immediately terrified. You're immediately shut down your
34:11
Speaker 3: silence to the point we saw the Rotheram Rotherham the
34:14
Speaker 3: rape scandal there thousands of British girls raped by Pakistani
34:19
Speaker 3: gangs and so on, to the point where the police
34:22
Speaker 3: now go to the certain communities Muslim communities for example,
34:25
Speaker 3: and say, well, if you're going to be having a demonstration,
34:28
Speaker 3: tell us what it's going to be about, so we
34:29
Speaker 3: don't actually have to police you. But the moment what
34:32
Speaker 3: are called far right thuggery by two tier kir Starmer,
34:37
Speaker 3: the two tier policing Prime Minister, the moment you have
34:42
Speaker 3: anything that is not a small ethnic minority group wanting
34:45
Speaker 3: to protest about legitimate things concerning crime, violence, etc.
34:49
Speaker 1: Etc.
34:50
Speaker 3: They are labeled far right thugs and the full weight
34:54
Speaker 3: of the law is brought down upon them, to the
34:55
Speaker 3: point where you have people on Facebook are being arrested
34:59
Speaker 3: and so on.
35:01
Speaker 2: Well, Rowan, the whole thing is really quite bizarre and
35:05
Speaker 2: it just makes me wonder what white community leaders would
35:09
Speaker 2: the police negotiate with in deciding whether or not to
35:12
Speaker 2: police a white protest. I mean, the whole thing is
35:16
Speaker 2: so absurd. And this is where multiculturalism gets. You treat
35:20
Speaker 2: people without respect to their color. How about that that
35:24
Speaker 2: would be quite useful. Rown Deine, thank you so.
35:26
Speaker 10: Much as police.
35:28
Speaker 3: Everyone equally Andrew, everyone should be equal to.
35:32
Speaker 2: It should go without saying, it should go without saying
35:35
Speaker 2: thanks for your Timeone after the break, the Paris Games
35:40
Speaker 2: host gets person with yet another attack on Christians and
35:42
Speaker 2: this one is really found mouth plus. We will cross
35:45
Speaker 2: the Paris for that. Latest on the arrest of an
35:49
Speaker 2: Australian hockey player for allegedly purchasing cocaine just in the
35:59
Speaker 2: last few minutes has been confirmed by the Austraando Olympic
36:02
Speaker 2: Committee that the Australian athlete the rested in Paris religially
36:06
Speaker 2: trying to buy cocaine one gram say some reports, has
36:09
Speaker 2: been identified as Kooko Barro's Ford Tom Craig. He's already
36:14
Speaker 2: won the Conwuth Games gold and a silver at Tokyo.
36:20
Speaker 2: The cooker Barrooughs were in fact knocked out in the
36:23
Speaker 2: quarter finals is currently in custody on suspicion of baying
36:27
Speaker 2: cocaine in the French capital. No charges have been laid
36:32
Speaker 2: will The International Olympic Committee is holding a press conference
36:37
Speaker 2: as we speak. We have a reporter there. We'll ask
36:39
Speaker 2: about this and I'll speak to Luke Doherty later in
36:44
Speaker 2: the show, but.
36:47
Speaker 4: To that mayor of Paris, the host of the Olympics, she's.
36:53
Speaker 2: Just confirmed that the people in charge of these games,
36:56
Speaker 2: they really are a cancer on Western culture.
36:59
Speaker 4: The found mouth on her.
37:02
Speaker 2: Now, as you know, there was a lot of criticism
37:04
Speaker 2: of part of the opening ceremony, how it included a
37:06
Speaker 2: scene of drag queens clearly mocking Christianity, one of them
37:10
Speaker 2: in the middle with a halo, even with their takeoff
37:13
Speaker 2: of Christ's Last Supper, particularly as famously painted by Leonardo
37:17
Speaker 2: da Vinci. Now the organizer's first issue a half hearted apology.
37:20
Speaker 2: But now Paris Mayor An Hidalgo as socialist of course,
37:26
Speaker 2: in a global warming stream, this is cut loose with
37:29
Speaker 2: all the intolerance abuse that our tip of yes, the
37:31
Speaker 2: woke left, f the reactionary. She said, if this far right,
37:36
Speaker 2: if all of those would like to lock us into
37:38
Speaker 2: a war of all against all. Paris, she said, it's
37:42
Speaker 2: the city of all freedoms, the city of refuge from LGBTQI.
37:47
Speaker 2: Plus people joining me are two Queensland politicians, Federal Liberal
37:50
Speaker 2: MP Garth Hamilton and Robbie catterhead of Kata's Australian Party
37:54
Speaker 2: originally founded by his father Bob, now the federal MP Garth.
37:58
Speaker 2: That response by the Paris Your response, what doesn't sound
38:03
Speaker 2: terribly inclusive, does it.
38:05
Speaker 15: She doesn't sound like a very tolerant person. But look,
38:08
Speaker 15: I think she gives the game away, doesn't she with
38:10
Speaker 15: that response? This is someone who does very clearly. You
38:13
Speaker 15: have an agenda and we've seen that right across this games.
38:16
Speaker 15: I think this is really sad, Andrew. That's what these
38:18
Speaker 15: games will be remembered for. They had that rather tacky
38:22
Speaker 15: opening ceremony, but don't forget they've also then tried to
38:25
Speaker 15: force a vegan menu on everybody. Then they ran out
38:28
Speaker 15: of meat and dairy the day before the opening ceremony,
38:32
Speaker 15: so that one didn't work too well that agenda. And
38:34
Speaker 15: then cardboard beds, no air conditioning. You've got multiple athletes
38:40
Speaker 15: connecting the poor conditions with the poor results or the
38:43
Speaker 15: lack of world records that we're seeing. So we've had
38:46
Speaker 15: quite a few athletes make that connection themselves. Isn't that
38:50
Speaker 15: sad that this Olympics has decided to go away because
38:53
Speaker 15: it's wants to push these agendas and what suffering are
38:57
Speaker 15: the athletes and their performances.
38:59
Speaker 2: Yeah, well since to me Robie that here's a Paris
39:04
Speaker 2: mayor that seems abusive, intolerant, anti Christian and likes wading
39:09
Speaker 2: people around and has got a terrible mouth in her,
39:12
Speaker 2: it doesn't seem a great advertisement for French culture.
39:17
Speaker 16: Yet I've really distorted that we're tolerance, haven't and Andrew,
39:21
Speaker 16: because it's quite aggressive.
39:24
Speaker 1: It's so aggressive and provocative the actions that they take.
39:28
Speaker 16: It knows well beyond just trying to encourage people who
39:32
Speaker 16: open their mind.
39:33
Speaker 1: I mean I've you know, there's.
39:35
Speaker 16: A blobe that rested the Bresence Toledoes in Mount Isa
39:38
Speaker 16: and you'd probably say it's one of the most sort.
39:40
Speaker 1: Of bushy right wings that have places.
39:44
Speaker 16: You're fine in Queensland, no one no one was foreign
39:47
Speaker 16: age at them or you know, everyone's okay with it.
39:50
Speaker 16: We don't need to force down our throat, and especially
39:53
Speaker 16: on the world stage when we're there to participate in sports,
39:57
Speaker 16: not having a political agenda ran down our it really
40:01
Speaker 16: sounds everything for everyone.
40:03
Speaker 1: And you know, I feel sorry for a.
40:04
Speaker 16: Lot of those people who are sort of you know,
40:07
Speaker 16: right when Christian athletes that really don't want to push
40:11
Speaker 16: their agenda anyone over there just trying to compete, and
40:14
Speaker 16: I'm sure that would play into their head.
40:15
Speaker 1: A little bit when they exposed with that.
40:17
Speaker 16: But really attacking one of the most reviewed images we
40:20
Speaker 16: have in Christianity and aggressively attacking that, I guess it
40:24
Speaker 16: speaks to how.
40:25
Speaker 1: These people operate and what their agenda is.
40:28
Speaker 16: They're sure we're all for tol ones, but it's got
40:31
Speaker 16: to work both plays.
40:33
Speaker 2: Well, I would have thought so, Robbie. I can't help
40:35
Speaker 2: but notice all the views will too. There are wonderful
40:38
Speaker 2: background behind you from Mount iSER, but I have to
40:42
Speaker 2: say you look a long way from the areas I
40:45
Speaker 2: want to talk about right now. So I'm hoping you
40:49
Speaker 2: are familiar with all the geography of Queensland because it
40:51
Speaker 2: has been tragically another death by crocodile. I mean last
40:55
Speaker 2: week last weekend, the doctor walking with his family would
40:59
Speaker 2: you leave by river near Cooktown was killed by a crocodile.
41:05
Speaker 2: We're only halfway through the year, Robbie. We've alreally had
41:08
Speaker 2: three crocodile attextas this year. Fatal ones. They're getting a
41:11
Speaker 2: lot more common since we banned hunting crocodiles. Have we
41:15
Speaker 2: got too many of these animals now do we just
41:18
Speaker 2: have to get a lot more careful by the rivers.
41:22
Speaker 1: Yep, there's a lot to be said about it.
41:24
Speaker 16: Andrew, there was no record in the books of Captain
41:27
Speaker 16: Cook of the first pioneers going up the rivers where
41:30
Speaker 16: crocodiles were swimming off the banks everywhere.
41:33
Speaker 1: They were barely light on back.
41:35
Speaker 16: Then, and they were almost hunted to extinction through the seventies.
41:39
Speaker 16: And they've been let to go since then, and a
41:42
Speaker 16: lot of their natural predators have gone as well in
41:46
Speaker 16: and around the place, which included a bursa strines used
41:49
Speaker 16: to collect harvest the eggs. So they've built up in
41:51
Speaker 16: numbers now where you talk to the old timers and
41:54
Speaker 16: there's rivers and creeks, they've never been seen before the
41:57
Speaker 16: territorial so they get pushing further and further up rivers
41:59
Speaker 16: is them and the government's respons in Queensland it's not
42:02
Speaker 16: been let's control it like we control wild dogs. While
42:05
Speaker 16: diggs boalas, they'll leave in cold balas in Australia gangaroos
42:10
Speaker 16: and horses, but they stop shorting crocodiles. We have I
42:15
Speaker 16: think we've had fifteen shark fatalities at the same time
42:18
Speaker 16: we've about forty nine crocodile deaths. There's shark nets, drum
42:22
Speaker 16: lines and shark in all the prevention devices they have
42:28
Speaker 16: that nothing for crocodiles and what we get from.
42:30
Speaker 1: The Queensland governments.
42:31
Speaker 16: Let's put up more signs and people need to be
42:33
Speaker 16: more careful and just learn to live in the water with.
42:37
Speaker 2: And don't feed them and don't feed them as it
42:41
Speaker 2: happened apparently here, so they get used to being at
42:44
Speaker 2: a particular area just quickly. Garth, I've got to give
42:48
Speaker 2: you credit. You have worn for a long time. The
42:51
Speaker 2: government's spending too much and into inflation. You got mocked
42:55
Speaker 2: for it. Now the Reserve Bank says you.
42:57
Speaker 15: Right absolutely and the clear message here Jim just got
43:02
Speaker 15: schooled by the RBA. He tried to tell everyone he
43:04
Speaker 15: could rewrite capitalism with his six thousand word essay.
43:07
Speaker 1: He couldn't.
43:08
Speaker 15: He got it wrong, over the price of everything up
43:10
Speaker 15: and made it worse for Australia. Jim got schooled and
43:13
Speaker 15: I'm going to remind you about that when we're back
43:14
Speaker 15: down in camera.
43:17
Speaker 2: Well, I hope you do, because this is a really
43:19
Speaker 2: important issue. And I hope you also tell the Queensland
43:22
Speaker 2: Labor government to pull his head in. I mean the
43:24
Speaker 2: way it's spending money is really quite amazing. Garthamilton, thank
43:29
Speaker 2: very much to you both.
43:32
Speaker 4: Yeah.
43:32
Speaker 2: Well, yes, exactly exactly after the break, we're crossing to
43:37
Speaker 2: Paris for a briefing on this hockey athlete that's been
43:41
Speaker 2: arrested to Paris now and as I mentioned, Australian Olympics
43:47
Speaker 2: committee is confirmed the Australian athlete wrested in Paris after
43:51
Speaker 2: allegedly trying to bark cocaine. It has been identified ascooka
43:55
Speaker 2: Baro star Tom Craig. Now Fox News Fox Sports News
43:59
Speaker 2: reported Luke Dodie is in Paris has been chasing this
44:02
Speaker 2: story out for us.
44:03
Speaker 4: Look good to see you.
44:04
Speaker 2: What is the latest?
44:10
Speaker 17: Yeah, So, like you mentioned, this story revolves around these
44:13
Speaker 17: allegations around twenty eight year old Koker barras Ford Tom Craig. So,
44:16
Speaker 17: the Kooker Burroughs had a function last night. Australian hockey
44:21
Speaker 17: did as well. Both sides went out in the quarter finals.
44:24
Speaker 17: Now it's alleged that is after this function is where
44:28
Speaker 17: this incident is alleged to have occurred with Tom. Now,
44:32
Speaker 17: there are a heavy police presence on a lot of
44:35
Speaker 17: street corners here in Paris, right across the capitol, so
44:39
Speaker 17: it's not surprising that something like this, if it in
44:42
Speaker 17: fact it has occurred as is being reported, has been
44:46
Speaker 17: picked up by the French police. The Australian Olympic Committee,
44:49
Speaker 17: for their part, is confirmed that an Australian hockey team
44:52
Speaker 17: member is in custody at the moment after being arrested
44:55
Speaker 17: in Paris on August sixth, which was last night Paris time.
44:58
Speaker 10: No charges have been laid.
45:00
Speaker 17: At this stage according to the AOC, and they're continuing
45:03
Speaker 17: to make inquiries and trying to get some support around
45:06
Speaker 17: Tom at this stage. This is his second Olympic Games.
45:10
Speaker 17: He made his Olympic Games debut back in Tokyo three
45:13
Speaker 17: years ago, so it is a story that's going to
45:15
Speaker 17: develop further throughout the course of the day here. But
45:18
Speaker 17: it is the first incident involving an Australian athlete at
45:22
Speaker 17: these Games away from the field of play, and all
45:25
Speaker 17: of these allegations will no doubt be thoroughly investigated by
45:28
Speaker 17: the Australian Olympic Committee.
45:32
Speaker 2: Luke, if it did happen. If it did happen, it
45:35
Speaker 2: is the most stupid thing you can imagine as you say,
45:38
Speaker 2: police everywhere.
45:39
Speaker 4: Have you heard of any other athletes being caught up
45:42
Speaker 4: in this sort of thing at these games?
45:48
Speaker 17: No, I mean a lot of them are just coming
45:50
Speaker 17: to the end of their competition. So the swimmers finished
45:53
Speaker 17: a couple of days ago and they are now going
45:56
Speaker 17: out of the village because there is this rule introduced
45:59
Speaker 17: by the Australian Olympic Committee that you need to vacate
46:01
Speaker 17: forty eight hours after the end of your events, and
46:04
Speaker 17: then a lot of them are going off to airbnbs
46:06
Speaker 17: or going off to London or different countries close by
46:09
Speaker 17: to Paris, and then coming back to March in the
46:11
Speaker 17: closing ceremony. So they are some of them out of
46:14
Speaker 17: the village environment at the moment, out of the care
46:16
Speaker 17: of the AOC, before they do come back for the
46:18
Speaker 17: closing ceremony. So no other reports of any athletes at
46:21
Speaker 17: this stage. But like I said that, you cannot walk
46:24
Speaker 17: two blocks in the French capital at the moment without
46:26
Speaker 17: running into not just one or two, but large groups
46:29
Speaker 17: of French police officers.
46:33
Speaker 2: Look, you're just making it sound worse and worse. The
46:36
Speaker 2: International Olympic Committee has been taught addressed this issue. Here's
46:40
Speaker 2: some of what it said.
46:43
Speaker 18: Matt Cunningham from Sky News in Australia, Mark, there are
46:45
Speaker 18: reports today that an Australian athlete has been arrested on
46:51
Speaker 18: suspected drug charges. I'm just wondering whether the IOC is
46:54
Speaker 18: aware of that, and I'm afraid to follow up question
46:57
Speaker 18: what information is given to athletes around these sort of
47:01
Speaker 18: issues before the games.
47:04
Speaker 19: That would be the responsibility of the National Olympic Committee,
47:06
Speaker 19: so that one is probably better addressed to them. Obviously
47:10
Speaker 19: we have caught sorts of safeguarding officers and safeguarding methods
47:15
Speaker 19: and rules, but I think on that specific question that's
47:17
Speaker 19: probably best directed to the Australian Olympic Committee.
47:22
Speaker 4: Look, Dodie, has been any other reaction to what's happened.
47:30
Speaker 17: Not at this stage, just unfolding in the course of
47:33
Speaker 17: the last hour or so, but really interesting to see
47:36
Speaker 17: if the Australian Olympic Committee do front up to some
47:39
Speaker 17: of the Australian media contingent here to give any further
47:42
Speaker 17: clarity throughout the course of the day. Certainly by breakfast
47:45
Speaker 17: time tomorrow, I think we'll have a lot more details
47:47
Speaker 17: around this situation.
47:51
Speaker 2: Well, Luke, thank you very much indeed for that Luke
47:54
Speaker 2: Doerdie reporting from Paris. Appreciate the update. I mean, seriously, seriously,
48:02
Speaker 2: it's funny, isn't it. Look we don't know the truth,
48:05
Speaker 2: but what happened exactly, whether he's guilty innocent, they've got
48:09
Speaker 2: the wrong person. That it would be such a stupid
48:13
Speaker 2: thing to do in a place like that with police
48:15
Speaker 2: running around everywhere. You know, when I thought Olympians were
48:21
Speaker 2: supposed to be supposed to be so careful with what
48:23
Speaker 2: they put in their bodies. Anyway, there you go, the
48:27
Speaker 2: culture we're in. I guess I don't know. As I say,
48:30
Speaker 2: he may well be innocent, and we hope very much
48:32
Speaker 2: that he is. Well, that's it from me. Coming up
48:36
Speaker 2: next there is Sharry markson, but for me, it's good night.
