  Speaker 1: Kids. He's the Bault Report.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Well, good evening and welcome to the Bolt Report. I'm
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: James Macpherson coming up tonight. The Albanezy government lifts a
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: ban on US beef just weeks before the Trump deadline
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: for imposing tariffs on Australia.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: Coincidence.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Baraby Joyce joins me shortly. The coalition's leader in the Senate,
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Machalia Cash, is now at odds with her leader Susan
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Lee over welcome to country and how many flags should
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: be displayed at public events. An Albanezy government plan to
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: recruit more soldiers for our defense force, Well that's shown
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: to be a complete face. You can count the number
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: of new recruits on one hand. And no, I'm not joking.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: And my guest from the UK, Patrick Christie's gets death
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: threats after confronting human traffickers.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: He'll explain what happened.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Shortly, Eliament is back and there's something I've discovered.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: The first order of business.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: For any freshly minted labor MP these days is not
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: to represent their constituents or offer policy ideas. It's to
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: perform an acknowledgment of country. And this week, one after
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: the other and a conga line of colonialist contrition. They
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: stood in Parliament to mumble the now compulsory lines. It
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: wasn't just the repetition that struck me, though Heaven knows,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: if I hear I acknowledge the traditional custodians of the
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: land one more time, I'll need my own welcome to insanity.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: What struck me was the increasing absurdity of the claims
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: that followed.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Thank you, mister speaker. I acknowledge the traditional owners.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: Of my electorate, the wondering people of the Cooler Nation,
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: and pay my respects to elders, past, present and emerging
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: as I do the traditional owners of this place, the
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: Nune of all people.
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: Banks is located on the lands of the Bigical people.
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: I'm so pleased to be able to recognize in this
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: great house their culture, their custodianship of the land, air
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: and waterways of Banks.
• 2:03
  Speaker 6: Before I begin, I wish to acknowledge the traditional custodians
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: of the land. This Parliament meets on, the Nanowil and
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: Nambri peoples. These lands were never ceeded. They hold the
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: wisdom of over sixty five thousand years of continuous connection
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: to land, water, sky and spirit, and it reminds us
• 2:22
  Speaker 6: that the work of truth telling and justice is far
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: from complete. This always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: And that's just the start. But consider some of those claims.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Indigenous Australians are custodians of not just the land, but
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Labour MPs are telling us Indigenous people are custodians of
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: the air.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: What does that even mean?
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Are we now to acknowledge that we stand on Aboriginal
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: land and breathe Aboriginal oxygen. I'm surprised the Member for
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Banks didn't finish his monologue by chanting.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: Always was, always will be Aboriginal air.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: And what are we to make of the Member for
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Barton's declaration that the land upon which we stood was
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: quote never ceeded. That's a bold position to take while
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: standing in a federal parliament established by the very sovereignty
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: she's denying. If the land was never ceeded, then she's
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: swearing allegiance to a parliament she's simultaneously declaring to be illegitimate.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: How exactly does she square that circle? This is the
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: party that's responsible for energy policy. And then of course
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: she reminded everyone always was, always will be Aboriginal land,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: as though that chant were a bumper sticker rather than
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: one with enormous implications. If it always will be Aboriginal land,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: does she intend to return it? Labor MPs, however, they
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: were just warming up.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: But what do it start?
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: By acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: we meet, the Nanowol and Nambri people, and I also
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: want to acknowledge the radical owners of the lands and
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: waterways that make up the area of Hughes darro Ol
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: people and the Cabricol clan of the dereg nation. They
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: looked after this country since time immemorial, and it's not
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: lost on me the responsibility that I have to live
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: up to that stewardship.
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: It is an honor to deliver my inaugural speech to
• 4:07
  Speaker 7: this great Chamber in this extraordinary building on the lands
• 4:11
  Speaker 7: of the Nanawhol and Nambari people. I acknowledge that this
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: is their country. How lucky we are to live on
• 4:17
  Speaker 7: the lands of our first nations people who so generously
• 4:20
  Speaker 7: share it with us. It always was and always will
• 4:24
  Speaker 7: be Aboriginal land.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: It was curious to hear David Moncrief there telling Parliament
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: he had a responsibility to live up to the expectations
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: of Indigenous people, which is funny because I thought he
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: had a responsibility to all Australians and specifically to the
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: people of Hughes who elected him.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Silly me.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: What about Senator Ellie Whiteacre gushing about how lucky she
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: was to live on Aboriginal land that has been generously
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: shared with her shared. You're in Parliament, You're not borrowing
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: a beach shack. You're running the country, at least pretending to.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Of course, you talked about how it's their country. On
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: and on this went.
• 5:05
  Speaker 8: I begin by acknowledging the traditional owners on the land
• 5:08
  Speaker 8: on which we meet, the nunn Awol and the Membry people,
• 5:12
  Speaker 8: and I pay my respects to the elder's past and present.
• 5:15
  Speaker 8: I would also like to pay my respects to the
• 5:17
  Speaker 8: traditional owners of the land of my community, the Brodaic
• 5:20
  Speaker 8: people of the Nunga nation.
• 5:21
  Speaker 9: I begin by acknowledging the Nuana Oil and Ambury people
• 5:25
  Speaker 9: of these lands, and from my home the Arungry, we're
• 5:28
  Speaker 9: arong people of the Coronation. I'm deeply proud to live
• 5:32
  Speaker 9: in a nation home to the oldest continuous culture on
• 5:35
  Speaker 9: the planet. The simple act of welcome to country is powerful,
• 5:40
  Speaker 9: an act of generosity that invites us to listen, learn
• 5:44
  Speaker 9: and reflect on the stories and wisdom of those who
• 5:47
  Speaker 9: have walked these lands for tens of thousands of years.
• 5:50
  Speaker 10: I also acknowledge the traditional owners of the land from
• 5:53
  Speaker 10: which I'm visiting, the Yagura and Turrible people, and I
• 5:57
  Speaker 10: pay my respects the elder's past, present and emerging.
• 6:01
  Speaker 11: I begin by acknowledging the traditional custodians of the land
• 6:04
  Speaker 11: on which we meet, the Nungawall and Mananbury people. I
• 6:07
  Speaker 11: also acknowledge thebuby people back home in my local community
• 6:11
  Speaker 11: of Queensland.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: So welcome to Parliament twenty twenty five. The land is
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: not yours, the air is not yours. And watching all
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: of that you get the idea that the labor seat
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: in Parliament isn't yours either, unless you remember to dutifully
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: recite the right lines at the start of every speech.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: This isn't reconciliation. It's self flagellation wrapped in identity politics.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: It's virtue that delivers nothing but division. But weirdly, it's
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: a parliament full of people who say the country doesn't
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: belong to them, governing the people they say it does.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: Belong to. That's what you call inclusive delusion.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Well, labor politicians have made a huge song and dance
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: about cutting student debt by twenty percent. And when I
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: say song and dance, that's not a turn of phrase.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: They've literally made a song and dance about it. Nothing
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: says fiscal responsibility like interpretive dance choreographed to a sixteen
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: billion dollar handout. Not everyone's falling over themselves though. The
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: new South Wales Master Plumbers Association they represent people who
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: do actual work, labeled the package deeply unfair. CEO Nathaniel
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Smith told Sky News quote the Albanzy government sixteen billion
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: dollar student loan handout was nothing more than a vote
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: buying exercise, an irresponsible bribe paid for with borrowed money
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: on the national credit card, and he makes a very
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: good point.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: The irony is that tradees, many of.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Whom never attended university, will be among those forced to
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: pay down the debt of people with degrees, and more
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: than half of the benefit of that sixteen billion dollars
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: will flow to people destined to be in the top
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: thirty percent of earners within a decade.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: You heard me right.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: The working class is subsidizing the future upper class. That's
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: according to analysis from the nonpartisan E sixty one Institute,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: the Labor Party is no longer the party of the
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: working class. It's become the party of the wealthy elite,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: the same as the Democrat Party in the US, which
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: of course is where they stole the idea for student
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: debt relief from Prime.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Minister Anthony Albanezi.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Well, he published this handwritten note on social media congratulating
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: himself on the move. He wrote, in case you missed it,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: yesterday we passed our legislation to cut twenty percent off
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: every student's note that word student's hex debt average save
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: five and a half thousand dollars. Now it's a charming note,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: except students needs an apostrophe, which is ironic considering we're
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: now bankrolling degrees in English, which just goes to show
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: money out buy you everything, not even other people's money. Well,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, apart from buying you votes, of course. United
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Nations boss Antonio Gutres says we're on the dawn of
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: a new age, which is a nice poetic flourish for
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: someone whose last prediction was that the world would end
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: in twenty twelve or twenty eighteen or honestly, it's hard
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: to keep track, but this week it's a new age,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: as fossil fuels run out of road.
• 9:29
  Speaker 12: Now we are on the cusp of a new era.
• 9:32
  Speaker 12: Fossil fools are running out of roads and the sun
• 9:36
  Speaker 12: is rising on a clean energy age. Modern and competitive
• 9:41
  Speaker 12: economies need stable, affordable energy, and renewables offer bolls. There
• 9:49
  Speaker 12: are no price spikes for sun lights and no embargos
• 9:52
  Speaker 12: on win.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure fossil fuels are running out of roads
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: so much as being forced off the road by interview
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: mentionalist government policies. The UN boss also observed, in a
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: rare flirtation with truth, that sunshine is not subject to
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: price spikes, if only clouds and nighttime weren't things. He
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: also claimed that governments can't put embargoes on wind, which
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: is true, but you can't summon the wind either. On
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: shore wind turbines typically operate at around twenty four percent
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: of capacity, which is impressive until you realize that means
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: they're essentially the public servants of the energy sector, mostly idle,
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: occasionally working, and always subsidized. While the UN chief was
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: eco sermonizing, the UN's top court was ruling that Australia
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: could be in violation of international law if we failed
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: to protect the planet from climate change, and that could
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: mean we'd be forced to pay reparations to countries like
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Vanuatu for having weather. The International Court of Justice found
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: it and I quote, clean, healthy, and sustainable environment is
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: a human right?
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: Which sounder? Follow me?
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Who doesn't want a clean, healthy and sustainable environment?
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: But you see the problem, don't you? What's to stop
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: the United.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Nations from next week declaring that everyone has the right
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: to never be sad and to always look good in
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: genes since when the fifteen judges, none of us have
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: ever met, that alone heard of get to decide what
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: is and what is not a human right. And in
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: a final stroke of legal genius, the UN also ruled
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: that climate activists can now sue their own governments for
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: failing to reduce emissions.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: You heard me right.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: The same people gluing themselves to roads can now clog
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: up our courtrooms. You have to love The United Nations
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: can't do a thing to secure the release of Jewish
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: hostages in Gaza, but can dictate the temperature of the
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: planet and the level of the oceans. Tell me again,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: why Australia pays around what is it, seventy million dollars
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: a year to be part of this outfit. Well, the
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Trump administration is aiming a win after the Albanzy government
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: lifted a long standing ban on US beef. Australia's refusal
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: to import US meat was one of Trump's key beefs
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: when he announced tarifs would be slapped on our exports.
• 12:12
  Speaker 13: Australia bans and they're wonderful people and wonderful everything, but
• 12:17
  Speaker 13: they ban American beef. Yet we imported three billion dollars
• 12:21
  Speaker 13: of Australian beef from them just last year alone. They
• 12:24
  Speaker 13: won't take any of our beef.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: US Secretary of Agriculture Brook Rowlands released a statement today
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: congratulating President Donald J. Trump on the major trade breakthrough
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: that gives greater access to US beef producers selling to Australia.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: Well, hang on a second.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: The Albanezi government has insisted its sudden decision to lift
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: the beef ban had nothing to do with trade, and
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: certainly nothing to do with Donald Trump.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: His Trade Minister Don Farrell.
• 12:51
  Speaker 14: We don't link bi security issues with trade issues.
• 12:56
  Speaker 15: They're separate issues, so it's all just.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: A weird coincidence that our lifted the band just a
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: few weeks after Trump threatened massive tariffs on our pharmaceuticals.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Agricultural Minister Julie Collins has assured our beef producers that
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: allowing US meat into the country had nothing to do
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: with appeasing Donald Trump and everything to do with expert
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: advice science.
• 13:19
  Speaker 16: This is a decision based on science. This has been
• 13:22
  Speaker 16: a science based assessment, based on science. It has been
• 13:25
  Speaker 16: done by experts, and it is based on science. As
• 13:27
  Speaker 16: I've said, this is a science based decision. My experts
• 13:31
  Speaker 16: are assured and are confident.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: But when pressed to explain the science, she promptly ended
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: the press conference. So can you blame people for being skeptical?
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: After all, we've heard this routine from our political leaders before,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: haven't we.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: It is based on science.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Our medical experts, the science tells us.
• 13:49
  Speaker 17: That science and that logic. Our health experts follow the science,
• 13:52
  Speaker 17: exact science.
• 13:53
  Speaker 18: A health experts, the science is what will get us
• 13:55
  Speaker 18: through this.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Joining me now is nationals MP Barnaby Joyce Bartabey, Thanks
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: for coming on the program. Do you believe this move
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: had nothing to do with Donald Trump's tariffs? It was
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: all based on biosecurity and science.
• 14:10
  Speaker 18: Well, first all, I'd like to concur with the President
• 14:12
  Speaker 18: that we are wonderful people. And next thing, I would
• 14:15
  Speaker 18: say that he seems to have correlated the two things
• 14:18
  Speaker 18: that change and the negotiation, when really this should be
• 14:22
  Speaker 18: an issue for the Chief Veterory Officer as to the
• 14:27
  Speaker 18: efficacy of the US system in making sure that bovine
• 14:32
  Speaker 18: sponge form and capulopathy. I think that's it does not
• 14:35
  Speaker 18: come into Australia. It's not just an risk for the cattle,
• 14:39
  Speaker 18: it's also a risk for you.
• 14:41
  Speaker 15: You don't want to be consuming that meat. Now.
• 14:44
  Speaker 18: It's also not correct that we don't import meat from
• 14:46
  Speaker 18: the United States.
• 14:47
  Speaker 15: We do, but it's just we don't.
• 14:49
  Speaker 18: Want meat from Mexico or Canada because the control mechanisms
• 14:53
  Speaker 18: there are just not up to scratch it.
• 14:56
  Speaker 15: To be quite frank, Australia's going quite well.
• 14:59
  Speaker 18: We have a very we have a very good beef
• 15:02
  Speaker 18: market at the moment. I declare my interests on my
• 15:04
  Speaker 18: family are.
• 15:05
  Speaker 15: Part of it. But and America is still going to
• 15:08
  Speaker 15: buy a beef.
• 15:08
  Speaker 18: They need to say any tariff is really just a
• 15:10
  Speaker 18: tariff on them. They need the grinding beef for the
• 15:14
  Speaker 18: hamburger trade. So I want to see I don't want
• 15:18
  Speaker 18: to hear politicians talking about you know, they're amusing about their.
• 15:22
  Speaker 15: Technical capacity in this field.
• 15:24
  Speaker 18: Want to see the chief vetiny officer stand and give
• 15:28
  Speaker 18: his reasons as to why, and those associated with the
• 15:32
  Speaker 18: sort of stringent oversight on science to give their reasons why,
• 15:37
  Speaker 18: because otherwise this whole things are fast. And that's the
• 15:40
  Speaker 18: real danger, because people say, ah, the science doesn't matter.
• 15:44
  Speaker 18: You just you know, if you put enough pressure on it,
• 15:46
  Speaker 18: they throw the science out the door. That is really dangerous.
• 15:49
  Speaker 18: I hope that is not the case, and there does
• 15:52
  Speaker 18: to be seen to be a sense that it is.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: Barnaby, you've got your knife out for net zero, But
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: for your leader, David little Proud, what do you make
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: of claims that your private members build to scrap net
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: zero undermines your leader?
• 16:08
  Speaker 15: No, this is wrong. See that people put out these herrings.
• 16:12
  Speaker 18: Put the throw out these red herrings because they don't
• 16:15
  Speaker 18: want to They say, don't talk about net zero because
• 16:18
  Speaker 18: that's really toxic. And people don't like NAT zero, and
• 16:21
  Speaker 18: the farmers hate it, and pensioners are poor, and small
• 16:24
  Speaker 18: businesses have been sent to the wall, and our nation's
• 16:27
  Speaker 18: becoming weaker and de industrialized. So how do we avoid
• 16:30
  Speaker 18: this debate. We'll say it's about leadership, Well it's not.
• 16:34
  Speaker 18: It's not about leadership. It's about net zero. It's not
• 16:38
  Speaker 18: about trying to rock Susan Leeds. The fact is definitely not.
• 16:42
  Speaker 18: It's about net zero. It's about making sure our nation
• 16:45
  Speaker 18: stops de industrializing. It's acknowledging that we are just on
• 16:48
  Speaker 18: the slide, massively down to two ore refineries, no plastics industry,
• 16:54
  Speaker 18: no fertilizer industry, domestic, no glass industry. We're losing our
• 16:58
  Speaker 18: metals industry. We're having to subsidize now our aluminium industry.
• 17:03
  Speaker 18: We've got power prices through the roof. We've got pensioners
• 17:06
  Speaker 18: living in cars because I can't afford electricity.
• 17:08
  Speaker 15: We've got small businesses going to the wall.
• 17:10
  Speaker 18: We've got transmission lines going all over the countryside. We've
• 17:14
  Speaker 18: got swindle factories, solar panels, wind howls have gone up everywhere.
• 17:18
  Speaker 18: We've got secret agreements, capacity investment schemes paying billionaires more
• 17:23
  Speaker 18: of your billions of dollars, and multinational companies who are
• 17:27
  Speaker 18: really are the major beneficiaries. We've got the majority of
• 17:29
  Speaker 18: the globe not even participating in that zero.
• 17:32
  Speaker 15: So this has no effect on climate whatsoever.
• 17:35
  Speaker 18: It's merely a virtue signal to whom I have no
• 17:38
  Speaker 18: idea because no one cares are around the rest of
• 17:41
  Speaker 18: the world. That's what it's about, and that's why we've
• 17:43
  Speaker 18: got to get out of it, because we've just put
• 17:45
  Speaker 18: two hands round our own throat and are choking ourselves
• 17:49
  Speaker 18: to death.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: So let me ask you this, because you've made a
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: great argument that this is a huge issue for our nation.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: If David Little Proud and or Susan refuse to walk
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: away from that zero, do they deserve to still lead
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: their respective parties.
• 18:06
  Speaker 18: Well, see, once I go down that path, James, we
• 18:10
  Speaker 18: start talking about issues.
• 18:11
  Speaker 15: I just don't want to talk about this for me.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: But it is a leadership aout you, isn't it.
• 18:16
  Speaker 15: Number one?
• 18:17
  Speaker 18: It's about our nation number one, Number one about a nation.
• 18:20
  Speaker 18: But for me personally, it's incredibly personal because I have
• 18:24
  Speaker 18: to deal I'm at the epicenter in the New England,
• 18:27
  Speaker 18: where people are crying, where their lives been turned upside down,
• 18:31
  Speaker 18: where businesses are.
• 18:32
  Speaker 15: Going to the war.
• 18:33
  Speaker 18: We have poor people in my electorate and they're becoming
• 18:36
  Speaker 18: poorer so this is beyond just politics for me. It
• 18:40
  Speaker 18: is really truly personal and that is why I'm in
• 18:44
  Speaker 18: such hot pursuit of it. And I just I've just
• 18:47
  Speaker 18: got no interest in sort of eye. Yeah, it might
• 18:50
  Speaker 18: be this, and it might be it's nothing. It's about
• 18:52
  Speaker 18: net zero. It's about making sure our nation gets stronger
• 18:56
  Speaker 18: with China breathing down our necks. It's it's a fact
• 19:00
  Speaker 18: that we're losing our manufacturing base and we are just
• 19:03
  Speaker 18: diminishing people.
• 19:05
  Speaker 15: We are making the poor destitute, and there is no
• 19:09
  Speaker 15: morality in that.
• 19:10
  Speaker 18: And when they say other issues, and I brought it
• 19:12
  Speaker 18: up today, they said, well, you know this might affect
• 19:14
  Speaker 18: heel seats. All the time, we do things that would
• 19:17
  Speaker 18: be good, that could be a lot better for us,
• 19:19
  Speaker 18: but we don't do them because that would offend them
• 19:22
  Speaker 18: like this offends up.
• 19:23
  Speaker 15: They don't want planes.
• 19:25
  Speaker 18: Flying over their areas during what now has curfew hours,
• 19:29
  Speaker 18: even though Mascot Airport will work perfectly well twenty four
• 19:32
  Speaker 18: to seven, but we stop it out of respect for them.
• 19:35
  Speaker 18: But they do want transmission lines going over us. So
• 19:39
  Speaker 18: you know, this is a two way street. It's you
• 19:42
  Speaker 18: don't hear us jumping up and down saying, oh, you know,
• 19:45
  Speaker 18: it will help all of us. We wouldn't have to
• 19:46
  Speaker 18: build batteries creed would save ourselves billions of dollars. If
• 19:50
  Speaker 18: we opened up Mascot for the twenty four hours like
• 19:53
  Speaker 18: other airports in the world, it could work for We
• 19:54
  Speaker 18: don't do that, and likewise, I say to other people,
• 19:59
  Speaker 18: that's really personal to This is really personal to us,
• 20:02
  Speaker 18: and you're destroying landscape, our environment.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Everything you say this is personal. Chris Bowen has made
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: it personal. He mocked your alliance with Michael McCormack on
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: that zero. Here's what Chris Bowen, the Energy Minister, had
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: to say.
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: The new dream team, the dream couple, the Member for
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: New England, the Member for Riverina out there this morning
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: backing each other in the Mempha Riverina said on the
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: Kieren Gilbert show. We're virolam We're out there, he said.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: The Member for New England and the Member of Riverina.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: Now this is not his hinder profile.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: This is his dream ticket. This is his dream ticket.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: He's not looking to swipe right, He's looking to swipe
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: out the Member for Baronomas as biggers.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: What he's trying to do.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: What do you saying to that thing.
• 20:44
  Speaker 18: But how do you think it's the barn people who
• 20:48
  Speaker 18: are basically got security guards on their place, police on
• 20:51
  Speaker 18: their place, planes firing over them.
• 20:53
  Speaker 15: How do they think about that performance? Mister barone?
• 20:55
  Speaker 18: How do you think the lady is living in a
• 20:57
  Speaker 18: car because you can't afford a power bill anymore?
• 21:00
  Speaker 15: Think she feels about that performance?
• 21:01
  Speaker 18: How do you feel small businesses go, say, make thirty
• 21:04
  Speaker 18: to forty percent of my expenses, now power I can't
• 21:06
  Speaker 18: afford it, it can't stay open.
• 21:08
  Speaker 15: How do you feel about that?
• 21:08
  Speaker 18: How about all the workers who say, hang on if
• 21:10
  Speaker 18: Tomigo closes down on lose my job? Hey, think they
• 21:13
  Speaker 18: think about your performance? Mister Bonne?
• 21:15
  Speaker 15: How do you think our nation feels if we're put in.
• 21:18
  Speaker 18: Basically dire straits and we don't have the capacity to
• 21:21
  Speaker 18: provide the fuel to keep our nation going, and we
• 21:23
  Speaker 18: have no capacity of dealing with the issues that would
• 21:26
  Speaker 18: happen a time of war because we don't have the
• 21:29
  Speaker 18: basic industries to back us up. Will that be funny,
• 21:33
  Speaker 18: mister barone? Will you be the number one clown in
• 21:35
  Speaker 18: the circus?
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: Then?
• 21:37
  Speaker 15: I mean, this is the trouble.
• 21:38
  Speaker 18: This is why I say damn unpopular out there, because
• 21:41
  Speaker 18: they look at that, and they say, who mate are
• 21:43
  Speaker 18: you talking to? Do you understand what's happening in our lives?
• 21:47
  Speaker 18: Do you understand have you got any concept at all
• 21:49
  Speaker 18: about the pain of the cost of living? And there's
• 21:52
  Speaker 18: some sort of weird theater for your mates, for your
• 21:55
  Speaker 18: chums behind you. This is why during the elect I
• 22:00
  Speaker 18: got to swing to me in you England, he got
• 22:01
  Speaker 18: to swing against him. He got to swing against him
• 22:04
  Speaker 18: where the labor but he got a massive swing to them.
• 22:07
  Speaker 18: He can't even sell it in his own seat. And
• 22:10
  Speaker 18: then they hit him under a rock. He'll put Orcas
• 22:12
  Speaker 18: out of a job because he most he comes in,
• 22:16
  Speaker 18: pops up, never to be seen again, runs away, never
• 22:19
  Speaker 18: faces up to the people who's causing a problem for
• 22:21
  Speaker 18: But he thinks he's such a he thinks he's such
• 22:24
  Speaker 18: a thesbian. You know, he's he's Gilbert and Sullivan, He's
• 22:28
  Speaker 18: he's de Niro, he's everybody, he's you know.
• 22:32
  Speaker 15: He he's just.
• 22:34
  Speaker 18: Such a genius and people get really really aggravated by him.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: And that's why, Barnaby Joyce, I appreciate your time tonight,
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: Thanks so much.
• 22:49
  Speaker 15: You're welcome.
• 22:51
  Speaker 19: Well.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: A year ago, the Albanezy government announced a bold plan
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: to recruit more soldiers for our defense force. It's fair
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: to say it's not going that well. I'm joined by
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: my panel to talk about it in just a moment.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Welcome back to the program.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: Will.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: The Albanezy government announced in June last year it had
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: a full proof plan to increase the size of our
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: defense force. The government's plan was to open up recruitment
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: to allow citizens from the US, the UK, Canada and
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: New Zealand to enlist. The then Defense Personnel Minister Mat
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: Keo said at the time, we're being bold in order
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: to grow the Australian Defense Force, and Defense Minister Richard
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Marles boasted that the government had quote chosen to grow
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: the Australian Defense Force because it's essential to meet the
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: nation's security challenges through the.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: Next decade and beyond. Great staff.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: So just how many people have enlisted since that triumphant
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: announcement a year ago? Three three Kiwis joining me as
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: our panel. Sky and his contributors Joe Hildebrand and Evelyn Ray. Joe,
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: I sure hope those three Kiwis are good fighters.
• 24:04
  Speaker 19: Yeah, So this is the problem, James New Zealander is
• 24:07
  Speaker 19: they're just not a very warlike people. I'm surprised we
• 24:10
  Speaker 19: actually found three of them. I mean, they don't actually
• 24:13
  Speaker 19: even really have a defense force of their own. So
• 24:16
  Speaker 19: these are probably the only three warlike New Zealanders on
• 24:19
  Speaker 19: the face of the planet, and we've got them, which
• 24:21
  Speaker 19: is a big win. But I think if you really
• 24:23
  Speaker 19: want to get people who want to fight, you know,
• 24:25
  Speaker 19: go for the Germans, you know, go for some vandals,
• 24:28
  Speaker 19: some visicals, go for some vikings. The New Zealanders. I mean,
• 24:31
  Speaker 19: why are you even targeting New Zealanders. They're just going
• 24:33
  Speaker 19: to you know, throw up the red flag, you know,
• 24:36
  Speaker 19: They're just I think we need to look further afield,
• 24:39
  Speaker 19: go for someone who really, you know, really got a
• 24:42
  Speaker 19: bit of lead in their pencil.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: Joe, at least we got three Kiwis.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: We didn't get anyone from the US, Canada or the UK.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: Event is this just another example of what we're seeing
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: so often with this government. They seem to think that
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: making an announcement is the same is getting things done.
• 25:02
  Speaker 17: The problem here, James, is not that foreigners think Australian
• 25:07
  Speaker 17: interests aren't worth fighting for. The problem is that Australians
• 25:12
  Speaker 17: themselves don't think that our own interests are worth fighting for,
• 25:17
  Speaker 17: because the sad reality is the Australian government cannot inspire
• 25:22
  Speaker 17: its own people enough, you know, And I think that
• 25:25
  Speaker 17: largely comes down to the fact that we have been told,
• 25:28
  Speaker 17: you know, for the better part of the last couple
• 25:31
  Speaker 17: of decade, that we should be ashamed of being Australian,
• 25:34
  Speaker 17: that we are nothing but filthy colonizers, that we should
• 25:37
  Speaker 17: be sorry to exist, in fact, that we shouldn't even
• 25:40
  Speaker 17: probably exist, you know, we have to be welcomed into
• 25:43
  Speaker 17: our own country. And now, like I said, after decades
• 25:47
  Speaker 17: and decades of indoctrinating our young men and women, of course,
• 25:52
  Speaker 17: like can you blame them for not wanting to fight
• 25:55
  Speaker 17: for the very country that they've been told to despise
• 25:58
  Speaker 17: and hate. You know, it's ludicrous that our government have
• 26:03
  Speaker 17: done such a bodge job to try and get people
• 26:06
  Speaker 17: want to fight for something worth fighting for, which is
• 26:08
  Speaker 17: their family and their loved ones here in the very
• 26:11
  Speaker 17: own soil that they live and breathe on.
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: But the reality is.
• 26:15
  Speaker 17: People they don't want to fight for things that they
• 26:17
  Speaker 17: don't believe in, and our Australian government have given them
• 26:20
  Speaker 17: absolutely nothing to want to believe in our own nation.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you make a fairly good point. Speaking
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: of that, Green's deputy leader Marine Ferruki has been sanctioned
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: for holding up a sign during the Governor General's address
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: to the Senate. The sign called for sanctions against Israel. Now,
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: fifty senators voted in favor of sanctioning the senator for
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: her behavior, eleven voted against it. Haven't listened to her response,
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: It's fair to say she wasn't exactly contrite.
• 26:50
  Speaker 10: Well, you know what, you are more focused on cracking
• 26:54
  Speaker 10: down on black and brown women in this parliament.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: You've done this before.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you have done you have done this before.
• 27:06
  Speaker 11: You are more for I've asked you to.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: Sit down, Joe, your thoughts.
• 27:12
  Speaker 19: The Greens are just children. They're just juvenile. I mean,
• 27:16
  Speaker 19: they have no place in the Parliament. Obviously, we've got
• 27:18
  Speaker 19: a section of the electorate that is young and naiven
• 27:21
  Speaker 19: enough to vote for them, and you know we have
• 27:24
  Speaker 19: to live with that. But they are simply self indulgent, narcissistic,
• 27:28
  Speaker 19: attention seeking, virtue signaling fools. They do absolutely nothing of
• 27:32
  Speaker 19: any benefit to anyone. That stunt does absolutely nothing to
• 27:37
  Speaker 19: help the children of Gaza. It does nothing to address
• 27:42
  Speaker 19: what the actual complaint of Marine Ferruki is stupid stunts
• 27:48
  Speaker 19: like that that define the Greens. We see them doing
• 27:51
  Speaker 19: it all the time. It's just attention seeking. That's the
• 27:54
  Speaker 19: reason why Marine Feruki isn't even the leader of the Greens,
• 27:56
  Speaker 19: because she's too crazy even for them. And that is
• 28:00
  Speaker 19: saying a.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: Lot, Evelyn.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: Fifty out of sixty one senators voted to sanction Marine Ferruki.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: She says it's because I'm brown, So she's essentially accusing
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: eighty percent of senators of racism.
• 28:16
  Speaker 17: Look, it's not the first time she's pulled political stunts
• 28:19
  Speaker 17: like this. But I'm too scared about you know what
• 28:21
  Speaker 17: I can say here because she's renowned to sue you
• 28:24
  Speaker 17: for daring to, you know, criticize the very words out
• 28:27
  Speaker 17: of her own mouth. I you know, I could count
• 28:31
  Speaker 17: on my hands the amount of people that she's gone
• 28:33
  Speaker 17: after because they've stood up to her. But like Joe said,
• 28:36
  Speaker 17: like the Greens, like they don't even belong in our
• 28:39
  Speaker 17: Australian political system. They are the cancer of our nation.
• 28:43
  Speaker 17: They're on the inside just rotting as bit.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: By bit by bit.
• 28:48
  Speaker 17: And the scary part is in some states, look at Tasma,
• 28:51
  Speaker 17: the recent Tasmania election, they still got about sixteen percent
• 28:54
  Speaker 17: of the votes, and I honestly think to myself, who
• 28:57
  Speaker 17: the heck are these sixteen percent of people who witness
• 29:00
  Speaker 17: these things and then still vote for them. And also,
• 29:03
  Speaker 17: like Joe said, things like this do absolutely nothing for
• 29:08
  Speaker 17: the children in Gaza.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: And that's the sad part about.
• 29:11
  Speaker 17: It, because there are legitimate causes at the moment going
• 29:15
  Speaker 17: on in the Middle East that we should be you know,
• 29:17
  Speaker 17: mourning over and grieving over the loss of innocent lives
• 29:22
  Speaker 17: on both sides of this war. But unfortunately that is
• 29:25
  Speaker 17: drowned out. Those legitimate concerns are drowned out because loud
• 29:29
  Speaker 17: people like her take all the attention from the real
• 29:32
  Speaker 17: issues at heart. And it's a real shame that people
• 29:35
  Speaker 17: like her unfortunately represent the Australian citizen.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: It also sounds like she's suggesting that Senate standards don't
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: apply to her because she's black or brown or whatever
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: she calls herself. Despite Labour running a campaign on openness
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: and integrity, a new study has revealed that government secrecy
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: has sunk to its lowest point in more than a decade.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: Under would believe it, the Albanesi government, the number of
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: documents released in response to freedom of information requests has
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: gone from fifty percent under the Morrison government just twenty
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: five percent under Albanesi. Joe Albanzi government has succeeded in
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: being even more secretive than Scott Morrison, who famously had
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: five secret ministries operating.
• 30:19
  Speaker 19: That's right, well, I mean the ones who have always
• 30:21
  Speaker 19: been jumping up and down about transparency, even more so
• 30:25
  Speaker 19: the Teals and the Greens. Again, the people who are
• 30:30
  Speaker 19: the most secretive of them all. I mean, the Greens
• 30:32
  Speaker 19: had a secret meeting to expel their own founder from
• 30:36
  Speaker 19: the party and we don't even know who the people
• 30:39
  Speaker 19: were who voted for this, and their own leader hasn't
• 30:41
  Speaker 19: even read the reasons for it, despite supporting it. And
• 30:45
  Speaker 19: these are the same people who demand transparency and accountability
• 30:48
  Speaker 19: in every other era of government. I always thought the
• 30:52
  Speaker 19: National Anti Corruption Commission was a waste of time and money.
• 30:56
  Speaker 19: I think it was a solution looking for a problem,
• 31:00
  Speaker 19: and we can see from the activity that it's done
• 31:02
  Speaker 19: so far that it hasn't really produced anything of great merit.
• 31:06
  Speaker 19: And again, you know, I don't particularly like it that much.
• 31:10
  Speaker 19: When labor gets all holier than now, as it often
• 31:12
  Speaker 19: does in opposition because inevitably it ends up behaving like
• 31:16
  Speaker 19: any government does, which is to protect its own interests
• 31:19
  Speaker 19: and to try to shield its activities from any unwanted examination.
• 31:26
  Speaker 19: So I think anyone who anyone who thought that, you know,
• 31:31
  Speaker 19: this would be a huge difference depending on which government
• 31:34
  Speaker 19: was in charge, is woefully naive.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: I think, yeah, I think you're right, Joe, Joe Hildebrand,
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: Evelyn Ray. Always great to chat with you. Thanks for
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: joining me tonight. Well stick around because coming up, the
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: Coalition's leader in the Senate, Mikayla Cash, is now at
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: odds with her leader Susan Lee over welcome the country
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: and how many flags should be displayed at public events?
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: And do so?
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: What and why does so many of our petiticians, I
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: got to ask, feel the need to make stupid dance videos.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: I'll show you some of those in a moment and
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: my panel will have their say. That's coming up next, Well,
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: that's the coalition debate their stance on net zero. By
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: twenty fifty, former National Senator Ron Boswell has written a
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: scathing column in the Australian Financial Review. He describes net
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: zero as quote a bottomless pit and our current energy
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: strategy as quote self delusion, which is no strategy at all.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: Joining me as senior fellow and chief economist at the
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Institute of Public Affairs, Adam Crichton and Skyne his contributor
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: Louise Roberts.
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: Welcome to you both.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: Adam, you were saying earlier today that every Australian should
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: read this article by Ron Boswell. Talk me through the
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: points and why you think this is so important for
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: every Australian to be aware of.
• 32:49
  Speaker 14: Yeah, certainly, well the stats would just starck to me.
• 32:52
  Speaker 14: I mean, he basically laid out the fact that twenty
• 32:54
  Speaker 14: one years ago Australia's energy prices were the lowest in
• 32:56
  Speaker 14: the Western world. Pretty much they will lower than Canada's,
• 32:59
  Speaker 14: lower than the US, slower than in Japan's, four times
• 33:01
  Speaker 14: lower I believe, twenty five percent of Japan's. And now
• 33:04
  Speaker 14: fast forward twenty one years and my new Australia has
• 33:07
  Speaker 14: the smallest manufacturing sector now in the OECD. It's worth
• 33:11
  Speaker 14: pointing out that Japan actually has cheaper power prices than
• 33:14
  Speaker 14: we do, and there's a country that has to import
• 33:17
  Speaker 14: all of its energy, whereas we are energy rich. So
• 33:20
  Speaker 14: it's just an absurd state of affairs. We're seeing all
• 33:22
  Speaker 14: our manufacturers closed down. We really are impoverishing ourselves. And
• 33:26
  Speaker 14: the column was a fantastic one by Ron.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: Boswell, was really great.
• 33:30
  Speaker 14: He wrote it very well, fascinating facts. Everyone should read it.
• 33:33
  Speaker 14: Sadly though not enough people are, and this delusion remains popular.
• 33:40
  Speaker 11: Well.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: The other point Ron Boswell made is so much of
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: our energy policy is his words beyond question, which is
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: not only undemocratic, but it's also madness.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: But we see this all the time, don't we.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: Louise, If you support nuclear, you're accused of wanting to
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: produce three eyed koalas. And if you make an argument
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: against zero, your argument is never dealt with.
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: You're just dismissed as a climate denier.
• 34:01
  Speaker 20: That's right, you just need to be a dinosaur. Yet
• 34:03
  Speaker 20: we can see, and from Adam sort of laid it
• 34:06
  Speaker 20: out perfectly that by chasing this net zero target, we're
• 34:09
  Speaker 20: destroying our economy. I mean, we're exporting uranium, but we
• 34:12
  Speaker 20: won't use nuclear energy here. You know, we're importing gas
• 34:16
  Speaker 20: from America yet you know, and we're closing our coal
• 34:19
  Speaker 20: mines and China are building more. So we've got this
• 34:22
  Speaker 20: wonderful amountain of energy naturally in this country, yet we're
• 34:25
  Speaker 20: almost too afraid to use it, and we're punishing ourselves.
• 34:27
  Speaker 20: We're punishing our economy by focusing on this target, which
• 34:31
  Speaker 20: really won't make a lot of difference to the planet
• 34:34
  Speaker 20: because the two biggest polluters, China and India. Of course,
• 34:38
  Speaker 20: it will just go full steam.
• 34:39
  Speaker 15: Ahead literally.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: It self.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: Flagellation steam seems to be a national pastime these days.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: I mentioned at the top of the show that the
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: United Nations Court has ruled, after two years of hearings,
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: that nations like ours would be liable to prosecution if
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: we fail to take adequate action on climate change. Adam,
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: what do you think hearing that decision from the UN, Well,
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: I think it's.
• 35:04
  Speaker 14: Just highlighting it's further irrelevance. I mean, the fact is,
• 35:07
  Speaker 14: most major countries in the world don't even pay any
• 35:09
  Speaker 14: attention to the ICJ. They don't subscribe by its rulings.
• 35:12
  Speaker 14: Although I do note that Australia did sign the treaty,
• 35:14
  Speaker 14: so we you know, we formally do subscribe by them.
• 35:16
  Speaker 14: But this is just a make work scheme for international lawyers.
• 35:19
  Speaker 14: I mean, you know what, they decided that there's a
• 35:22
  Speaker 14: right to a clean environment is completely ridiculous. What does
• 35:25
  Speaker 14: that mean? I mean that can't be argued, that can't
• 35:27
  Speaker 14: be defined. So it's just more virtue signals, you know
• 35:30
  Speaker 14: from international bureaucrats in the Hague, you know, meaningless propaganda.
• 35:34
  Speaker 14: I mean the facts under which it's based. You know,
• 35:36
  Speaker 14: rising sea levels and so forth. That's actually highly disputed anyway.
• 35:41
  Speaker 14: You know, there's lots of evidence that they haven't been
• 35:42
  Speaker 14: rising very much at all. So you know, this is
• 35:45
  Speaker 14: just more globalist propaganda, I would say, but it won't,
• 35:48
  Speaker 14: it shouldn't have any any direct effect on Australians.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: Right, I want to get your reaction to news that
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: broke just in the last hour or so. The highest
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: ranking Liberal woman, MP behind and Lee, is part of
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: a push to ditch Welcome the Country ceremonies and Aboriginal
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: flags from official events. Mikaela Cash, who leads the coalition
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: in the Senate, has backed two motions prepared for the
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: Liberal Party of West Australia's State Council this Saturday, which
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: demand the Aboriginal Welcome the Country speeches be stripped of
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: official status and only Commonwealth and state flags appear at
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: government events. Louise This would put the Coalition Senate leader
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: at odds with the party leader.
• 36:31
  Speaker 20: It would yes, but isn't it a bad time we
• 36:33
  Speaker 20: actually seriously address this issue of welcome to country. You
• 36:36
  Speaker 20: see it everywhere in the community. There's a deep fatigue
• 36:39
  Speaker 20: for it. And I think I guess the only issue
• 36:42
  Speaker 20: would be the two senior leaders actually at each other's
• 36:44
  Speaker 20: throats on these is not a good look for women
• 36:47
  Speaker 20: in politics and will it actually solve anything or will
• 36:50
  Speaker 20: it just sort of further destroy their relationship.
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: It's funny you said that.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: I wonder if someone might say it's not a good
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: look for women in politics because we keep hearing about,
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: you know, we need more women in politics, and now
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: we've got two senior women disagreeing and somehow that's bad
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: for women in politics. But in terms of culture wars,
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: the other criticism the coalition gared is you should stay
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: away from culture wars. But this is an important issue
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: that I think the referendum proved a lot of people
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: feel very strongly about.
• 37:20
  Speaker 15: Yes, exactly.
• 37:22
  Speaker 14: Yeah, Look, this is an easy one for the coalition.
• 37:24
  Speaker 14: I mean, so far, Susan Lee's opposition has not really
• 37:26
  Speaker 14: differentiated itself from the Labor government to my knowledge, I
• 37:29
  Speaker 14: can't think of anything much, but this would be an
• 37:30
  Speaker 14: easy one.
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: We had a Voice referendum.
• 37:32
  Speaker 14: It was sixty percent against the Voice, so Australians they've
• 37:35
  Speaker 14: voted against divisive racial politics. And certainly there is fatigue
• 37:39
  Speaker 14: out there. I mean, there were just too many of
• 37:41
  Speaker 14: these ceremonies. It's just ridiculous. They may have a place
• 37:43
  Speaker 14: here and there, but you know, to the substance of
• 37:46
  Speaker 14: the point too, if I may, I mean, I think
• 37:47
  Speaker 14: these were made up by any Dingo in the nineteen
• 37:49
  Speaker 14: seventies and they've become a very lucrative side hustle for
• 37:52
  Speaker 14: the Aboriginal industry, I would say. And you know, I
• 37:55
  Speaker 14: think most Australians recognize that. They see that, and they
• 37:58
  Speaker 14: are wearing thin and they are internationally embarrassing. I mean,
• 38:01
  Speaker 14: hardly any countries do this. I just came back from
• 38:03
  Speaker 14: the United States. I was there almost four years, and
• 38:05
  Speaker 14: you know, of course they have Native Americans too, and
• 38:07
  Speaker 14: they do nothing, you know, they do nothing formally like this.
• 38:10
  Speaker 14: There is only one flag flow in the United States flag.
• 38:12
  Speaker 15: I mean, the idea we have.
• 38:13
  Speaker 14: You know, three, four, five flags flown you know, at
• 38:16
  Speaker 14: certain official functions is just ridiculous. It's embarrassing and we
• 38:20
  Speaker 14: really need to, you know, to observe ourselves better kind
• 38:23
  Speaker 14: of on this question.
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: Well, speaking of embarrassing, Adam and Louise, I want to
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: show you a TikTok video produced by some labor politicians.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: Have a look at this, Oh, Louise, why do our
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: politicians keep producing this stuff?
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: Do they really think this is going to enhance their credibility?
• 38:58
  Speaker 20: They do, and they are all convinced that this is
• 39:02
  Speaker 20: how they target younger voters who apparently are all sitting
• 39:04
  Speaker 20: on TikTok waiting for a politician to speak to them
• 39:07
  Speaker 20: and to help them solve the issues in Australia. And
• 39:10
  Speaker 20: my kids are on TikTok, and I guarantee if a
• 39:12
  Speaker 20: politician comes on, they're straight off. They don't want to
• 39:14
  Speaker 20: watch it because it's inauthentic. It's like a boomer trying
• 39:17
  Speaker 20: to tell you what to do in a TikTok environment,
• 39:19
  Speaker 20: and they look silly. I mean, it's not actually about
• 39:23
  Speaker 20: policy or about anything sort of profitable or meaningful for
• 39:27
  Speaker 20: the country. It's just them looking like fools.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: Adam, But when you see videos like that, I mean,
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: there's so many issues confronting our nation right now. I'm
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: all for people having fun and politicians should be able
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: to let their hair down, but do you really think
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: stuff like that is helpful?
• 39:46
  Speaker 14: No, Look, it's very embarrassing. These people have paid about
• 39:48
  Speaker 14: three hundred thousand dollars a year and they should behave
• 39:50
  Speaker 14: more sensibly, But to me, sadly, it's evidence of the
• 39:53
  Speaker 14: fact that I accuse in our society have been declining
• 39:55
  Speaker 14: for some time now. I think this is great empirical
• 39:57
  Speaker 14: evidence for it. It's called the reverse fluin effect. You
• 40:00
  Speaker 14: should go and look it up. But so one final
• 40:02
  Speaker 14: observation is that you know, if the UK low as
• 40:04
  Speaker 14: it's voting age to sixteen, they'll certainly be seeing a
• 40:06
  Speaker 14: lot more of these TikTok videos in the UK. And
• 40:09
  Speaker 14: that's a very sad.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: Thing and there's a very good reason to not lower
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: the voting age, if not for any other reason.
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: For that.
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: Adam Crichton, Louise Roberts, thanks for joining me tonight.
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: We're still to come.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: Patrick Christie's joins me from the UK and he's going
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: to explain what happened when he confronted a group of
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: alleged human traffickers.
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: That's coming up next. Welcome back to the program.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: Last month, there was a violent confrontation between pro and
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: anti immigration demonstrators outside a UK hotel where asylum seekers
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: were being housed. But a couple of interesting things have
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: come to light about this confrontation. Originally it was only
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: anti immigration protesters camped outside the hotel. We've now learned
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: that police gave pro immigration protesters and s thought to
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: get to the hotel so they could wage a counter protest,
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: and that's when the violence broke out. Take a look, mate,
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: you can see they're police giving an escort to people
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: who've got masks on.
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: But there's more.
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: It's now been revealed that the group is funded by
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: trade unions and headed up by Diane Abbott, Labour's former
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: Home Secretary. Joining me now as gb News host Patrick Christie's, Patrick,
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: this is quite an unbelievable story. Just talk me through
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: how this happened and the reaction from the public upon
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: learning all of this information.
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 41:49
  Speaker 21: Well, recently in Britain we have had some figures published
• 41:53
  Speaker 21: that show that one in every one hundred people in
• 41:55
  Speaker 21: an illegal migrant hotel is either wanted for or is
• 41:59
  Speaker 21: charged with an alleged offense. Then what's happened is that
• 42:04
  Speaker 21: recently at that particular hotel that you were seeing there,
• 42:07
  Speaker 21: there are some very serious allegations about some of the
• 42:09
  Speaker 21: behavior of some of the people, the migrants in those hotels.
• 42:13
  Speaker 21: So concerned residents and the fathers and mothers of young
• 42:16
  Speaker 21: children gathered outside that hotel and they were chanting things
• 42:19
  Speaker 21: like protect our kids, and they said they didn't want
• 42:21
  Speaker 21: that hotel in their area anymore, which I think in
• 42:23
  Speaker 21: the round is probably fair enough. And then these protesters
• 42:27
  Speaker 21: that you just showed their stand up to racism, slash
• 42:30
  Speaker 21: antifer slash the Socialist Workers Party in Britain here whoever
• 42:34
  Speaker 21: these people really are difficult to tell because they're all
• 42:37
  Speaker 21: a lot of them are masked up, arrived at the
• 42:39
  Speaker 21: local train station and were escorted from that train station
• 42:42
  Speaker 21: by police. They then started shouting things like Nazi scum
• 42:47
  Speaker 21: and all of this at this group of local residents
• 42:50
  Speaker 21: who were protesting. That infuriated a lot of people, and
• 42:54
  Speaker 21: it's fair to say there was a bit of back
• 42:55
  Speaker 21: and forth. But the reality here is why are the
• 42:58
  Speaker 21: police force escored people to a very volatile situation knowing
• 43:03
  Speaker 21: that it's going to kick off, and then expecting, you know,
• 43:06
  Speaker 21: concerned locals to just not react to that.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: It's just astonishing, absolutely astonishing. Speaking of astonishing, I want
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: to talk about what happened when you confronted a group
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: of alleged people smugglers. You've received threats from a people
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: smuggler working out of northern France. After confronting these guys,
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: will show you a little bit of what happened.
• 43:31
  Speaker 21: Why are you illegally bringing people into Britain?
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: Why do you make a lot of money out of it?
• 43:40
  Speaker 21: Hello, So we're going to send We're going to send
• 43:43
  Speaker 21: your face and your phone number and all of your
• 43:46
  Speaker 21: details to French police.
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: So it's game over. I'm afraid for you. Rama.
• 43:51
  Speaker 21: You know when people die in the Channel, do you
• 43:54
  Speaker 21: feel any kind of conscience about that at all?
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: Do you feel bad about that at all?
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: Okay, so we're watching there, You're confronting these alleged human traffickers.
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: What happens after that?
• 44:07
  Speaker 15: Yeah?
• 44:08
  Speaker 21: Well, after that, I get a phone call from their handler,
• 44:10
  Speaker 21: who I've been communicating with. You set up that interaction.
• 44:13
  Speaker 21: I can't repeat what was said here, but there are
• 44:15
  Speaker 21: a lot of f words doing the rounds. So he
• 44:17
  Speaker 21: was certainly not happy about it. He said that he
• 44:19
  Speaker 21: had my face and was making serious threats against me.
• 44:21
  Speaker 21: These are prolific people that have been posting things like
• 44:24
  Speaker 21: Islamic state propaganda on their social media platforms and also
• 44:28
  Speaker 21: posing with guns and weapons, and they are bringing people
• 44:32
  Speaker 21: across the channel.
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: So that's why I went to confront them.
• 44:35
  Speaker 21: And we hear a huge amount of talk from our
• 44:38
  Speaker 21: Prime minister about smashing the gangs and stopping the boats.
• 44:40
  Speaker 21: Well it's not happening, and I wanted to show how
• 44:43
  Speaker 21: easy it was if you had the will to actually
• 44:46
  Speaker 21: go and meet up with some of these human traffickers.
• 44:48
  Speaker 21: We managed to meet up with three of these people
• 44:51
  Speaker 21: within a day of arriving in northern France, just to
• 44:54
  Speaker 21: show that, yeah, that really how easy it is if
• 44:57
  Speaker 21: you have the political will.
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: To do it.
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: Speaking of asylum seekers, it's been revealed more than six
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: thousand asylum seekers in.
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: The UK have used prepaid cards.
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: Given to them by the government, which meant for food, clothing,
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: but they've used them instead to bit on racers and
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: at casinos. Their efforts were apparently blocked each time. But
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: this is British taxpayer money that they're trying to gamble with.
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're trying to gamble with it.
• 45:27
  Speaker 21: And it's also if they're not spending it on that
• 45:29
  Speaker 21: we've got antidos levites them spending it on things like
• 45:32
  Speaker 21: booze and cigarettes. And the implication there for me is
• 45:35
  Speaker 21: that they're making money elsewhere. If that's the only fifty
• 45:38
  Speaker 21: pounds that you have to your name every single week,
• 45:40
  Speaker 21: you're not going to try and put it all on
• 45:42
  Speaker 21: the three twenty.
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: At new Market, are you?
• 45:44
  Speaker 21: You're going to spend it on food. But we know
• 45:46
  Speaker 21: that a lot of them are working here illegally, and
• 45:48
  Speaker 21: again it just makes a mockery, really, doesn't it. This
• 45:50
  Speaker 21: is British taxpayers money. A lot of people in Britain
• 45:52
  Speaker 21: at the moment rightly so are feeling quite skinned. And
• 45:55
  Speaker 21: yet we have money to not just accommodate and feed
• 45:58
  Speaker 21: and clothe and house all of these people, but it's
• 46:00
  Speaker 21: also given them a little bit of money so they
• 46:01
  Speaker 21: can have a flutter as well. It doesn't sit well
• 46:04
  Speaker 21: with the average British person. The whole system really is
• 46:07
  Speaker 21: completely broken. We just encapsulated it very nicely there. I
• 46:09
  Speaker 21: think with those three stories that I imagine a lot of
• 46:12
  Speaker 21: people in Australia are looking at right now and thinking
• 46:15
  Speaker 21: what the hell is going on in Britain.
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: Well, I'll just say so, am.
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: I watching those videos? I remember some years ago I
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: was actually at the Jungle of Kla, which I believe
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: is the asylum seeker camp that you were depicted in,
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: and I was with a psychologist who had been to
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: many refugee camps all around the world, predominantly in Africa
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: and the Middle East, and I said to him, how
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: does this compare with other refugee camps you've been to?
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: And he said, James, the difference with these guys is
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: instead of running from something, they're running to something.
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: And many of them talk to.
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: Us about the social security that the welfare benefits that
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: were available in the UK. It was very apparent, and
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: who blames you for wanting a better life, but it
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: was a very different kind of asylum seeker that.
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: Probably were typically used to.
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: Just one more topic before we go, Patrick, a bit
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: of a change of pace. The Times newspaper is reporting
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: that traditional skills of sewing and knitting.
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: I knew you'd be the perfect person to ask about this.
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: Traditional skills of sewing and knitting are dying out in
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: the UK. A survey found needlework is perhaps unsurprisingly not
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: as popular as it used to be. But only twenty
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: seven percent of Brits can operate a sewing machine and
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: only sixteen percent are proficient knitters.
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: Is this a problem or is this just progress? Patrick?
• 47:34
  Speaker 21: Well, well, realistically it's well, I suppose it'spoth It's testament
• 47:38
  Speaker 21: to how we've managed to outsource separate thing to other bungries,
• 47:40
  Speaker 21: I think, isn't it.
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: But there is a.
• 47:42
  Speaker 21: Wider problem here, which is it's also just practical trades
• 47:44
  Speaker 21: in general, So things like bricklaying and things like that,
• 47:49
  Speaker 21: all of that stuff and we are managing to outsource it.
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: And unfortunately, I.
• 47:53
  Speaker 21: Think the only needle work that you really see in
• 47:55
  Speaker 21: Britain now is it got more to do with some
• 47:56
  Speaker 21: of the catastrophic drug problems that we have than any
• 47:59
  Speaker 21: kind of practical trade. All So, maybe we need to
• 48:01
  Speaker 21: teach younger children in schools that you don't have to
• 48:03
  Speaker 21: go and get a Mickey Mouse pointless degree in underwater
• 48:06
  Speaker 21: basket weaving from some university and come out with a
• 48:09
  Speaker 21: lifetime of debt. You can learn how to operate a
• 48:11
  Speaker 21: selling machine and you can walk straight into a job
• 48:13
  Speaker 21: and maybe start paying a bit of tax.
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: As well, or just do your study in Australia. You
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: don't have a lifetime of debt. The government just wipe
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: it off and get other people.
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: To pay for it. It's brilliant, perfect, it's always a joy.
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: I'll talk to you next week.
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: Well that's all I've got time for, but please stick around.
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: Coming up in just a moment is the Sharry Program,
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: hosted by the brilliant Steve Price.
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: He's up now. Good night,
