- 0:01Speaker 1: Les General, Welcome to the Late Basell.
- 0:08Speaker 2: It's great to have your company. I'm James Macpherson with
- 0:10Speaker 2: Liz Storer and Caleb Bond coming up. I know a
- 0:13Speaker 2: dog is a man's best friend, but would you spend
- 0:15Speaker 2: one hundred and seventy five dollars on perfume for your pooch?
- 0:18Speaker 2: Some people are and will show you the commercial that's
- 0:21Speaker 2: encouraging them to do so. Plus, when we look at
- 0:23Speaker 2: the papers, councils raking in millions of dollars from ticketless
- 0:28Speaker 2: parking fines and training colleges being shut down over links
- 0:32Speaker 2: to sex trafficking. But first, Queensland Premier Stephen Miles's latest
- 0:37Speaker 2: election promise has been described as his dumbest ever. And
- 0:41Speaker 2: that's saying something because outdoing himself for stupidity cannot be easy.
- 0:47Speaker 2: Miles has promised to open twelve government run petrol stations
- 0:50Speaker 2: across Queensland to bring the price of fuel down. Can
- 0:54Speaker 2: you imagine it? Government run petrol stations staffed by public
- 0:58Speaker 2: servants working from home, attended by just one operator, probably
- 1:02Speaker 2: supported by the CFMU, earning two hundred thousand dollars a year.
- 1:06Speaker 2: It's just what Queenslanders need. But It gets even crazier
- 1:10Speaker 2: than that. He admitted today that his petrol station plan
- 1:15Speaker 2: was not based on any research or any modeling at all.
- 1:19Speaker 2: In fact, it's just pure gas.
- 1:22Speaker 3: Have a listen.
- 1:24Speaker 2: Have you done your own modeling or an own research
- 1:26Speaker 2: or have you relied on ourcqs.
- 1:28Speaker 4: This is our election commitment for what we will do
- 1:32Speaker 4: for Queenslanders to drive down the price of fuel going forward.
- 1:36Speaker 2: You haven't done any research. You described an idea from
- 1:38Speaker 2: the Racques that might help with the election.
- 1:40Speaker 4: Not at all. This is a detailed package of initiatives
- 1:44Speaker 4: designed to address what we know from Queenslanders is one
- 1:48Speaker 4: of their biggest concerns.
- 1:49Speaker 5: So what research is the government done on this?
- 1:51Speaker 4: This is an election commitment and it's a commitment that
- 1:54Speaker 4: I am making to Queenslanders.
- 1:56Speaker 6: Here here's a question, have you done model it or not?
- 2:00Speaker 4: Well, this is an election committment.
- 2:01Speaker 1: What does that mean or not?
- 2:03Speaker 4: This is an election commitment. So it hasn't been produced
- 2:05Speaker 4: by the public service.
- 2:07Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's standing in front of a sign that
- 2:09Speaker 2: says driving down fuel prices, so it must be true.
- 2:13Speaker 2: Except that industry leaders and the lnp's deputy leader warn
- 2:17Speaker 2: that government funded petrol stations will push independent operators out
- 2:21Speaker 2: of the market and drive prices up.
- 2:25Speaker 7: Stephen Miles is on the side of multinationals, and he
- 2:29Speaker 7: will wipe out independent retailers, therefore creating less competition in
- 2:33Speaker 7: the marketplace, in the marketplace, therefore driving up petrol prices
- 2:38Speaker 7: for Queenslanders. It will have the complete opposite effect that
- 2:42Speaker 7: he thinks this will have.
- 2:44Speaker 2: My favorite part of that Stephen Miles interview Caleb was
- 2:47Speaker 2: where he's asked, you know, so is there research? Is
- 2:50Speaker 2: there any study backing this plan up? And he says no,
- 2:53Speaker 2: it's an election commitment.
- 2:56Speaker 5: Who needs to actually take any numbers into account when
- 2:59Speaker 5: you may making promises, just say whatever you want.
- 3:02Speaker 1: I was trying to get vote. I think you misunderstand.
- 3:06Speaker 5: Example, money is your power bill is going to go
- 3:09Speaker 5: down by two hundred and seventy five dollars. I mean
- 3:12Speaker 5: that number was just plucked out of thin air. It
- 3:14Speaker 5: certainly hasn't come into being.
- 3:16Speaker 2: The Gabba redevelopment dollars thin air.
- 3:19Speaker 5: It has totally made that number up and then commissioned
- 3:21Speaker 5: a report to tell them that they shouldn't build it,
- 3:23Speaker 5: but it said that they should do the gabber up anyway,
- 3:26Speaker 5: So they just ignored that bit. You know, we accept
- 3:29Speaker 5: the you know what, was it forty odd recommendations in
- 3:32Speaker 5: that report. We accept thirty nine of them. The one
- 3:34Speaker 5: they didn't accept was the most important one, which was
- 3:37Speaker 5: redeveloped a gabba for goodness sake. And look, there's a
- 3:40Speaker 5: couple of things here. As I explained last night, I
- 3:43Speaker 5: sort of agree with the opposition that it would lead
- 3:46Speaker 5: to overall higher petrol prices, because if you can only
- 3:50Speaker 5: put your prices up by five cents a day, which
- 3:53Speaker 5: is what Miles is suggesting, then it means the market
- 3:56Speaker 5: will equalize and you'll never have lower petrol is because
- 4:00Speaker 5: if you can only put them up by five cents
- 4:02Speaker 5: a day, well you're not going to go down to
- 4:03Speaker 5: the lows and then go to the tops as you
- 4:06Speaker 5: have in the normal price cycle with petrol. The one
- 4:09Speaker 5: good thing that could come out of this, though, is
- 4:12Speaker 5: that if the union gets involved in a publicly owned
- 4:16Speaker 5: petrol station system, they will want as many jobs involved
- 4:21Speaker 5: in that as possible. And maybe this is the way
- 4:24Speaker 5: that we can bring back bowser attendants who you pull
- 4:28Speaker 5: up and they put the petrol in the car for you,
- 4:32Speaker 5: because you know, the unions will be in there, demanding
- 4:34Speaker 5: that we must have as many customer service jobs here
- 4:37Speaker 5: as possible. Maybe we could get some proper service at
- 4:41Speaker 5: a service station for once in our lives.
- 4:44Speaker 2: They would have got on all of that. Whole thing's
- 4:46Speaker 2: observed the good old days, it was like doing a
- 4:47Speaker 2: Formula one pit stop. You'd have someone put the fuel in,
- 4:50Speaker 2: they'd wash the windows, they'd check your tire pressure.
- 4:53Speaker 1: I don't know how armac, but I think you're showing
- 4:56Speaker 1: it because I can't remember a time when this ever happened.
- 4:59Speaker 1: I've seen it on all the school American movies, but other.
- 5:02Speaker 3: Than that, I've never even known this has existed.
- 5:05Speaker 1: But obviously what Stephen Miles's show is just how desperate
- 5:09Speaker 1: he is.
- 5:10Speaker 3: I mean, in that video you can see his sweating bullets.
- 5:14Speaker 1: This is an extremely uncomfortable man who has been caught
- 5:18Speaker 1: out in we can't quite call it a lie, but
- 5:21Speaker 1: here he has. He promised everyone a pony and a
- 5:24Speaker 1: pony for their pony, and he's just been asked.
- 5:27Speaker 3: Outright, or what's the modeling? How much is this going
- 5:30Speaker 3: to cost you? And when are you going to.
- 5:33Speaker 1: Roll this out? And in what timeframe? No details whatsoever.
- 5:36Speaker 1: I've worked for government for almost a decade and one
- 5:39Speaker 1: of the favorite things to do if you've lost an election.
- 5:43Speaker 1: And the Libs did in wa very painfully what they
- 5:47Speaker 1: love to do. Then, when Labor was expected to deliver
- 5:51Speaker 1: on their election promises and were falling over themselves unable
- 5:55Speaker 1: to do so, all the Libs, the handful of them
- 5:58Speaker 1: that were left in the chamber, I'd love to laughingly
- 6:01Speaker 1: chant together, fully costed, fully funded, fully costed, fully funded,
- 6:08Speaker 1: because at least that's what Labor had promised when they
- 6:11Speaker 1: took these certain promises to the election.
- 6:14Speaker 3: Miles hasn't even bothered.
- 6:16Speaker 1: There's no fully costed, fully funded, there's no plan behind
- 6:19Speaker 1: this whatsoever.
- 6:20Speaker 3: The guy's desperate. Three weeks ago, the Yugov polling showed.
- 6:25Speaker 1: That he was on twenty nine percent preferred premiere, with
- 6:29Speaker 1: Chriso fully sitting on forty percent. We know that all
- 6:33Speaker 1: the polls in the lead up have been a resounding
- 6:36Speaker 1: thumbs up for the Libs. He is now simply they've
- 6:39Speaker 1: done all the polling, they've realized, oh my goodness.
- 6:42Speaker 8: Cost of living is top of mind for everyone. So
- 6:46Speaker 8: let's do fifty cent fares on public transport. Let's tell
- 6:51Speaker 8: them we're getting petrol involved in how.
- 6:53Speaker 3: There's going to be cheap at chips. We're cramping down
- 6:56Speaker 3: on all these people charging you.
- 6:58Speaker 1: Too much for petrol, trying to hit all the right
- 7:01Speaker 1: moles on their head.
- 7:02Speaker 3: But unfortunately no election is a whack them all. Otherwise
- 7:05Speaker 3: it'd be working splendidly.
- 7:07Speaker 1: But what this kind of thing goes to show, and
- 7:09Speaker 1: I actually love it when it happens because it awakens
- 7:12Speaker 1: the public to the fact that these promises that these
- 7:15Speaker 1: guys make you, just because they're trying to shill for
- 7:19Speaker 1: your vote, doesn't mean they're actually going to deliver or
- 7:22Speaker 1: even have any intention of delivering on what they're promising.
- 7:26Speaker 3: You just need your favor on the.
- 7:28Speaker 5: Dat hasn't he heard of the Parliamentary Budget Office? Like
- 7:31Speaker 5: there is literally a place you can go to and
- 7:34Speaker 5: ask them to do the modeling for you.
- 7:36Speaker 3: That's the point.
- 7:37Speaker 5: You get them to do the modeling and then you say,
- 7:39Speaker 5: look it is, we've sort of it all out. It's
- 7:42Speaker 5: going to work. But also, how does Stephen Miles get
- 7:46Speaker 5: over the problem in his head that he would then
- 7:49Speaker 5: be going or his government would then be going into
- 7:52Speaker 5: the fossil fuel business. I mean, after all this time,
- 7:55Speaker 5: it's happen over fossil fuels. We're literally going to become
- 7:58Speaker 5: a petrol company. Now, how do you do those two things?
- 8:03Speaker 2: The other stupid part of this is as if twelve
- 8:05Speaker 2: petrol stations in a state as vast as Queensland is
- 8:09Speaker 2: going to make any difference to prices at all. What
- 8:12Speaker 2: he would be better off doing is restoring the fuel
- 8:16Speaker 2: re excise rebate. That and a bly removed back in
- 8:19Speaker 2: I think it was twenty fourteen. It was about eight
- 8:21Speaker 2: and a half cents eliter that she removed from Queenslanders.
- 8:24Speaker 2: If he'd said, look, we're going to reinstate that excise rebate,
- 8:28Speaker 2: I reckon people would be thrilled with him. He doesn't
- 8:33Speaker 2: want ideas, he wants an announcement. He got his announcement.
- 8:36Speaker 2: And the other thing that this proves is after helln've
- 8:39Speaker 2: Labour been empowering Queensland.
- 8:41Speaker 3: This would be their fourth term. They're trying for their fourth.
- 8:43Speaker 2: Thirteen right, So do you think that's an example of
- 8:47Speaker 2: a politician who's become very comfortable with getting a good
- 8:50Speaker 2: run from the media. And it's only more in recent
- 8:52Speaker 2: times that the career mails really turned against the Labor government.
- 8:56Speaker 2: But he's so used to getting a good ride. He's
- 8:58Speaker 2: expecting I can stand up, I can say whatever I
- 9:00Speaker 2: want and not be challenged, and now he's shocked when
- 9:03Speaker 2: journalists are really pushing.
- 9:04Speaker 5: But it's also got a bit of the disinter Allen's
- 9:07Speaker 5: about him, right, like he's had to follow a reasonably
- 9:09Speaker 5: strong labor premiere and he's just not up to the job.
- 9:13Speaker 5: Like you know, Justina Allen, ain't no Daniel Andrews and
- 9:15Speaker 5: Stephen Miles ain't no Anastasia Paliche right like they were
- 9:20Speaker 5: very strong leaders. What have you thought of them? They
- 9:23Speaker 5: were strong leaders and so trying to live up to
- 9:25Speaker 5: that and have the same sort of sway and cut
- 9:28Speaker 5: through with the public following on from that is a very.
- 9:31Speaker 2: When your nickname is giggles, but strength, but.
- 9:35Speaker 5: Good good luck with you. It's good good luck with
- 9:38Speaker 5: your petrol station, Stephen Miles, you may well need one
- 9:41Speaker 5: to be there for you to go and work in
- 9:43Speaker 5: when you get turfed out in October. Let's go to
- 9:46Speaker 5: more of the craziness in the UK at the moment.
- 9:48Speaker 5: We talked about it last night. You've seen it on
- 9:51Speaker 5: if you've been watching the channel tonight, You've seen it
- 9:53Speaker 5: on other programs otherwise you've seen it elsewhere. The rioting
- 9:57Speaker 5: that has been going on in the UK, which of
- 9:59Speaker 5: course was sparked by the killing of three girls last
- 10:03Speaker 5: week and the belief that the guy who killed them
- 10:07Speaker 5: was an asylum seeker. Of course he wasn't, but by
- 10:10Speaker 5: the time that was confirmed it was much too late
- 10:13Speaker 5: and people had started rioting and looting and carrying on
- 10:16Speaker 5: across the UK. Well, the Prime Minister, Sir Kiir Starmer
- 10:20Speaker 5: has made yet another statement condemning the violence as well.
- 10:24Speaker 5: He ought to it is thuggery. But would you believe
- 10:28Speaker 5: his concern only seems to be on one side. Now,
- 10:31Speaker 5: let's be clear here. The violence has been perpetrated both
- 10:35Speaker 5: by people who are demonstrating against mass migration and also
- 10:41Speaker 5: by migrants, particularly Muslim migrants. So you'd think everyone would
- 10:46Speaker 5: be up for a bit of criticism, not from Sir Kia.
- 10:49Speaker 5: He put a statement on Twitter or x as it
- 10:52Speaker 5: is now called, with a video and accompanying that with
- 10:55Speaker 5: the words this is not protest, it is pure violence.
- 10:58Speaker 5: We will have a standing army of public duty officers.
- 11:01Speaker 5: We will ramp up criminal justice. We will apply criminal
- 11:05Speaker 5: law online as well as offline. Now, if it's simply
- 11:08Speaker 5: finished there, you'd say, yep, exactly, that's all what we
- 11:11Speaker 5: want the prime ministers to say, except he goes on
- 11:14Speaker 5: to write, we will not tolerate attacks on mosques or
- 11:17Speaker 5: on Muslim communities. I mean, yeah, that's a given, But
- 11:22Speaker 5: what about the attacks that have also been carried out
- 11:25Speaker 5: by Muslims on other Brits. That doesn't come in for
- 11:29Speaker 5: a mention from Cerquire and Elon Musk, the proprietor of
- 11:33Speaker 5: X pointed this out himself in a reply to Cerquire,
- 11:36Speaker 5: saying shouldn't you be concerned about attacks on all communities?
- 11:42Speaker 5: If you're trying to lead the country, you'd think you
- 11:45Speaker 5: would be. And if they seriously want to stand up
- 11:49Speaker 5: and do something about this violence, as well, they should
- 11:52Speaker 5: because it is outrageous in any democratic country that that
- 11:55Speaker 5: is the way you deal with political issues. But as
- 11:57Speaker 5: we're talking about last night, the reason it has got
- 12:00Speaker 5: to this boiling point is because no one's been able
- 12:03Speaker 5: to have a legitimate discussion about mass migration because every
- 12:07Speaker 5: time they try to, they're torn down and told that
- 12:09Speaker 5: they're racist, etc. So that the natural consequence of all
- 12:13Speaker 5: of that is that eventually people lash out. But the
- 12:17Speaker 5: lashing out has been on both sides. The government only
- 12:20Speaker 5: seems to be interested in one version of that.
- 12:22Speaker 2: Yeah, and the post from the Prime Minister only aggravates
- 12:26Speaker 2: the situation. You've got white Brits predominantly who feel like
- 12:30Speaker 2: they're being pushed out by migrants, so then feeling that
- 12:35Speaker 2: when you read something like that from the Prime Minister,
- 12:37Speaker 2: who's concerned seemingly about only one side, only aggravates the
- 12:42Speaker 2: feelings that led to this violence, which, as you said,
- 12:44Speaker 2: is unacceptable, but it just aggravates that situation rather than
- 12:48Speaker 2: doing what the Prime Minister needs to do is to
- 12:50Speaker 2: go hard against everybody who's writing and just calm things
- 12:53Speaker 2: down a bit so they can get control again.
- 12:55Speaker 1: Instead, he is gas lighting the Brits. So is his
- 12:59Speaker 1: home section. But Terry, we're about to get to her
- 13:01Speaker 1: in a minute, and this, you're quite right, this is
- 13:04Speaker 1: going to enrage the situation.
- 13:07Speaker 3: Keep in mind, this is nothing new.
- 13:09Speaker 1: The Brits have been putting up with mass migration year
- 13:13Speaker 1: in year out. Right now they don't even know how
- 13:15Speaker 1: many illegals are in their country. It's estimated somewhere between
- 13:20Speaker 1: eight hundred thousand and one point two million. But that
- 13:23Speaker 1: just goes to show how undocumented these guys are even.
- 13:26Speaker 3: The Home Office does not know.
- 13:29Speaker 1: And in March of this year it reached an all
- 13:32Speaker 1: time high of people coming across the Channel. It's up
- 13:35Speaker 1: twenty three percent on the same time.
- 13:38Speaker 3: The previous year.
- 13:39Speaker 1: So Brits are just rightly saying, you guys are doing
- 13:42Speaker 1: absolutely nothing about this.
- 13:44Speaker 3: We have seen crime skyrocket.
- 13:47Speaker 1: The death of these three beautiful young girls, of course,
- 13:50Speaker 1: has just been a lit match in an entire nation
- 13:55Speaker 1: of gunpowder. At this point, these guys were ready to
- 14:00Speaker 1: blow and to see the man that they have elected
- 14:03Speaker 1: that they now call Prime Minister standing up for seemingly
- 14:07Speaker 1: only one side. And much as we've noted during our
- 14:12Speaker 1: pro Palestinian protesters, the Brits are seeing the same thing.
- 14:17Speaker 1: It's all over Twitter, first hand accounts of people saying
- 14:20Speaker 1: it's the Brits who are being laid into very hard
- 14:25Speaker 1: by the cops during the riots, again on both sides.
- 14:29Speaker 1: But the others, the ones yelling ali wakba and running
- 14:34Speaker 1: down white people in the streets, will show you a
- 14:37Speaker 1: grab of that soon, singling them out to beat up
- 14:41Speaker 1: on them.
- 14:42Speaker 3: They're not the ones.
- 14:43Speaker 1: That we're seeing accosted by the police. We seem to
- 14:46Speaker 1: be seeing a two tiered policing system here, and we've
- 14:50Speaker 1: witnessed much the same here when we've gone Hang on
- 14:52Speaker 1: a minute, why is it when someone Jewish rocks up,
- 14:56Speaker 1: we're bearing an Israeli flag, being a bit like counter protest.
- 15:00Speaker 3: They're the ones ferried away. Get out of here, You're
- 15:03Speaker 3: not welcome. You can't do this.
- 15:06Speaker 1: Meanwhile, the pro Palestinian protesters can march in their thousands,
- 15:11Speaker 1: yelling from the river to the sea, and that's quite
- 15:14Speaker 1: okay by the cops. So this is something that is
- 15:17Speaker 1: only going to detonate further if this administration keeps up
- 15:22Speaker 1: this approach. And good on Elan and Musk for coming out,
- 15:25Speaker 1: because I think it bears mentioning. If it weren't for X,
- 15:29Speaker 1: I don't think we'd even know about what is happening
- 15:32Speaker 1: in the UK right now. I'm not seeing reports of
- 15:35Speaker 1: it on the mainstream media, on the regime media. It
- 15:38Speaker 1: doesn't make anyone look any good. And as I said
- 15:42Speaker 1: last night, this administration is now using this as an
- 15:46Speaker 1: excuse to be like, oh, islamophobia and people are anti immigration,
- 15:51Speaker 1: and using these riots on one side to denounce and
- 15:57Speaker 1: denner grade guys who have literally just had enough of it.
- 16:01Speaker 1: They're saying, where Brits, this is England. We have had
- 16:05Speaker 1: it up to here and we will not take it anything.
- 16:07Speaker 2: So the opportunity that Keith Keir Starmer has got here
- 16:11Speaker 2: is to is to regain law and order, to come
- 16:13Speaker 2: down hard on all the violence, and he's got to
- 16:15Speaker 2: be color blind as he does it. If he can
- 16:18Speaker 2: do that, then he immediately gets rid of the allegations
- 16:21Speaker 2: of two tiered policing, which of course are as hot
- 16:24Speaker 2: as you can imagine. And Nigel Farage pointed this out
- 16:27Speaker 2: the other night. We quoted him. And when you've got
- 16:30Speaker 2: this feeling that there's a different system for one group
- 16:32Speaker 2: of people as opposed to another, that's what causes the angst.
- 16:36Speaker 2: And people have got good memories. They remember during Black
- 16:39Speaker 2: Lives Matter protests, two days after they became violent, twenty
- 16:44Speaker 2: seven I think it was maybe twenty four British police
- 16:47Speaker 2: officers were injured in riots, and two days later Keith
- 16:50Speaker 2: Starmer took a knee for Black Lives Matter. Now people
- 16:54Speaker 2: remember things like that and that's caused some of the ants.
- 16:57Speaker 2: But he does have an opportunity if he and the
- 17:00Speaker 2: police force can come down hard on everybody who is
- 17:04Speaker 2: acting this way with no reference to race, background color, Well,
- 17:09Speaker 2: that will restore some faith in the justice system and
- 17:11Speaker 2: calm things down. But if he doesn't do that, all
- 17:14Speaker 2: he's going to do is create even more angst and
- 17:16Speaker 2: more violent and.
- 17:17Speaker 5: Of course that is what they should do. I mean,
- 17:19Speaker 5: you have to maintain order, right, especially the public order,
- 17:23Speaker 5: and once you've done that, you then have to move
- 17:25Speaker 5: on to the discussion that has led to all of this,
- 17:28Speaker 5: or the lack of the discussion that has led to
- 17:30Speaker 5: all of this, and that is the one about mass migration.
- 17:32Speaker 5: But it is not just Sir Keir, of course, who
- 17:34Speaker 5: is running this line that everything is being perpetrated against Muslims.
- 17:39Speaker 5: It's also the UK Home Secretary adding fuel to the fire.
- 17:44Speaker 9: The government has put in place new emergency security arrangements
- 17:48Speaker 9: to support mosques across the country. The targeted attacks that
- 17:53Speaker 9: we have seen on mosques in the last few days
- 17:56Speaker 9: have been a total disgrace.
- 17:58Speaker 3: It's part of criminal and violence.
- 18:01Speaker 9: That we have seen in some towns and cities that
- 18:04Speaker 9: we simply cannot stand for. We cannot tolerate far right extremism,
- 18:09Speaker 9: racism or Islamophobia in our country.
- 18:12Speaker 5: So it's all far right extremism, racism or Islamophobia that
- 18:17Speaker 5: is going on according to the government in the UK. Well,
- 18:21Speaker 5: let's just show you some of what is going on
- 18:23Speaker 5: on the other side. For instance, Sky News UK our
- 18:27Speaker 5: compatriots over there trying to do a simple report from
- 18:31Speaker 5: the scene of some of these rights. Take a look.
- 18:33Speaker 5: Do these look like the far right islamophobic protesters to you?
- 18:39Speaker 9: Community leaders have been speaking to the police as well, because.
- 18:47Speaker 6: I think, apologies for the language you're.
- 18:49Speaker 3: Hearing, but.
- 18:53Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Becky apologize.
- 18:55Speaker 1: We need to leave you there.
- 19:00Speaker 5: Yes, they're all white far right protesters. Clearly. The sky
- 19:04Speaker 5: News crew was then followed by a man who took
- 19:06Speaker 5: out his anger on a car.
- 19:14Speaker 3: No, no, no.
- 19:18Speaker 5: Can do sense to us that Sky newses van by
- 19:22Speaker 5: the way, so in since he is by them simply
- 19:25Speaker 5: reporting on what is going on.
- 19:27Speaker 3: And then over at.
- 19:27Speaker 5: The BBC when people have simply tried to raise questions
- 19:31Speaker 5: about how all of this started. And this is a
- 19:35Speaker 5: former chief superintendent at the met by the way, a
- 19:38Speaker 5: man who knows what he's talking about. He's simply trying
- 19:41Speaker 5: to say, look, there's more going on here than just
- 19:44Speaker 5: far right protesters taking to the street. He gets cut off.
- 19:49Speaker 10: It's my colleagues and my family members are in front
- 19:52Speaker 10: line dealing with this. They're taking the rip backs. What
- 19:56Speaker 10: I'm saying is you cannot You have to be very
- 19:59Speaker 10: careful now with tempers the way they are and people's
- 20:03Speaker 10: sense of answer to what had gone on in the
- 20:05Speaker 10: preceding couple of days where you'd had an army officer
- 20:09Speaker 10: stabbed in the back, the misleading representation in the Northwest
- 20:14Speaker 10: where this is.
- 20:15Speaker 3: That's a different case, Kevin, So we'll leave it there.
- 20:18Speaker 3: That's Kevin Hurley.
- 20:19Speaker 10: They're not you're missing the point. All If you're missing
- 20:22Speaker 10: the point, people conflate this and they make.
- 20:27Speaker 9: Listening that conflation by mentioning the two cases together here.
- 20:31Speaker 3: So we'll leave it there. Thank you, Kevin Hurley.
- 20:34Speaker 5: Yet again, we're simply trying to talk about what's actually
- 20:37Speaker 5: going on here. No, no, it's only the far right
- 20:40Speaker 5: white protest as well. Yet again, here's some non white,
- 20:45Speaker 5: non far right protesters going after a white man. And
- 20:49Speaker 5: we cannot show you the worst of this footage, but
- 20:52Speaker 5: it does give you some idea. It is an absolute
- 21:11Speaker 5: lie to portray this as simply far right white protesters
- 21:17Speaker 5: taking to the street and causing these riots. It is
- 21:19Speaker 5: happening on both sides. And as we were all saying before,
- 21:24Speaker 5: by leaning into that, this simply inflaming the riots, if
- 21:28Speaker 5: you want to calm it down, they're going about it
- 21:30Speaker 5: exactly the wrong one.
- 21:31Speaker 1: And the media, of course is being completely complicit. The BBC,
- 21:36Speaker 1: the national broadcaster over there last night the riots in Birmingham,
- 21:41Speaker 1: their report failed to mention just completely omitted who.
- 21:46Speaker 3: The perpetrators were. Oh, Rights in Birmingham, Rights in Birmingham.
- 21:51Speaker 1: Yeah, totally left out the fact which side instigated what
- 21:56Speaker 1: had happened the night before in Birmingham.
- 22:00Speaker 3: And there they are cutting.
- 22:01Speaker 1: Off that fellow who's trying to expand on the fat
- 22:05Speaker 1: that hey, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Okay,
- 22:09Speaker 1: this is now exploding. And he was only going back
- 22:12Speaker 1: to a few days prior. He could easily go back
- 22:15Speaker 1: to years prior and the heenus crimes that the Brits
- 22:20Speaker 1: have watched play out in their streets for far too
- 22:23Speaker 1: many years. Now, that is what is exploding, and nobody
- 22:27Speaker 1: wants to talk about it. They're being gas lit by
- 22:30Speaker 1: the media, they're being gas lit by their own government.
- 22:33Speaker 1: Is it any wonder that this isn't going to let
- 22:36Speaker 1: up anytime soon because protests other language of the disenfranchise.
- 22:41Speaker 1: Riots are the language of the disenfranchise, and these guys
- 22:45Speaker 1: are sick and tired of these trees and as treacherous
- 22:48Speaker 1: administrations telling them, no, you guys don't matter. We're putting
- 22:53Speaker 1: minorities first, not the natives.
- 22:56Speaker 3: We're putting them first.
- 22:57Speaker 2: But the irony of this is at Kirstarmer's right hand woman,
- 23:00Speaker 2: Rachel Reeves, who's the UK Chancellor. She said back in
- 23:02Speaker 2: twenty sixteen that unless they addressed the issue of immigration,
- 23:06Speaker 2: they were sitting on a quote tinderbox with bubbling tensions.
- 23:10Speaker 2: And so she predicted this eight years ago, and she
- 23:14Speaker 2: certainly wasn't justifying it. She was just snipping the wind
- 23:17Speaker 2: and saying, if we keep going down the way we
- 23:19Speaker 2: are going, we're going to end up with exactly what
- 23:21Speaker 2: we've now got. So she was saying this in twenty
- 23:24Speaker 2: sixteen and bravely. So now if you say it, you're
- 23:28Speaker 2: in trouble. But of course police are certainly cracking down
- 23:32Speaker 2: with comments online and while they're failing to get control
- 23:35Speaker 2: of the streets, they're very determined to get control of
- 23:38Speaker 2: the internet. Here's a police officer coming into someone's home
- 23:42Speaker 2: and arresting them for comments they made on Facebook.
- 23:46Speaker 1: Okay, the Times twenty three, fourteen forty and arresting you
- 23:51Speaker 1: a suspicion of improper use of the electronics communications networkak
- 24:00Speaker 1: So you do not have to say that that may
- 24:02Speaker 1: harmon defense?
- 24:03Speaker 10: Do you not mention one question?
- 24:04Speaker 3: Sup?
- 24:04Speaker 10: That Jenata iron core? Anything you do you see, maybe
- 24:07Speaker 10: get an evidence. Do you understand that? So I'm actually
- 24:10Speaker 10: being arrested.
- 24:10Speaker 4: To be arrested?
- 24:11Speaker 8: Okay, that's a police station.
- 24:14Speaker 1: Okay, this is in relation to some comments that you've
- 24:17Speaker 1: made on a Facebook page.
- 24:20Speaker 5: Oh real Facebook?
- 24:21Speaker 3: Prime is that.
- 24:24Speaker 2: The first thing the government have got to do is
- 24:25Speaker 2: get control of the streets. That's number one, and so yeah,
- 24:29Speaker 2: and then they've got to show leadership and have a
- 24:33Speaker 2: conversation about some of the issues that have created this angst.
- 24:37Speaker 2: Doesn't justify what's happened, but it has contributed to it.
- 24:40Speaker 2: But how do you have an honest conversation? And you
- 24:43Speaker 2: pointed this out earlier when you start cracking down on speech,
- 24:46Speaker 2: So everybody's too afraid to speak honestly about what is happening.
- 24:51Speaker 3: It's just afrasy. They're just not allowed to.
- 24:54Speaker 2: And they're afraid to because the don't want to be arrested.
- 24:56Speaker 2: So it's a lot easier just to blame the far right,
- 24:58Speaker 2: paper over the cracks and carry on until the next
- 25:02Speaker 2: riot happens.
- 25:02Speaker 3: They can't do that.
- 25:03Speaker 2: They've got to show leadership and part of that is
- 25:06Speaker 2: leading a honest discussion. I don't know whether Kirstarma's got
- 25:10Speaker 2: the ability to do that well.
- 25:12Speaker 3: Watching that video is just harrowing. You're like, is this
- 25:15Speaker 3: Britain or the Soviet Union? The Gestapo have a new accent?
- 25:19Speaker 3: What is going on here?
- 25:20Speaker 1: It would surprise most people to learn that last year
- 25:24Speaker 1: alone there were over three thousand, three hundred arrests due
- 25:28Speaker 1: to posts on social media in the UK, police coming
- 25:33Speaker 1: to people's doors, knocking on their doors, and usually it
- 25:36Speaker 1: was anti immigration. It is something they'd seen or heard.
- 25:40Speaker 1: Remember what they had to put up with on their
- 25:43Speaker 1: Memorial Days and their absolute everyone flying the wrong flag,
- 25:50Speaker 1: denigrating their statues.
- 25:52Speaker 3: Again, Brits have just had to sit.
- 25:54Speaker 1: Down and take this because the government keeps taking the
- 25:58Speaker 1: wrong side. So they take to social media to share
- 26:02Speaker 1: their experiences and their frustrations.
- 26:04Speaker 3: No, you get arrested for that.
- 26:06Speaker 1: Three thousand, three hundred plus Brits got arrested last year
- 26:11Speaker 1: because they were very frustrated and rightly venting on social media.
- 26:16Speaker 1: This is again all part and parcel of what we're
- 26:21Speaker 1: seeing the pushback on in the streets now. I mean,
- 26:24Speaker 1: what do you expect and they have been warned. It's
- 26:27Speaker 1: not just that brilliant what was their name.
- 26:29Speaker 3: Rachel Rachel Reeves? Yes, and we all remember.
- 26:32Speaker 1: It at the time and applauded her at the time,
- 26:34Speaker 1: but no one has listened. All the conservative commentators have
- 26:38Speaker 1: been saying the same, Douglas Murray, Brendan O'Neil, all the
- 26:42Speaker 1: well known Brits have been saying, this is where identity
- 26:46Speaker 1: politics is going to take you, and here we are.
- 26:50Speaker 3: So they can't say they weren't warned.
- 26:52Speaker 1: They knew exactly what was going to come about as
- 26:54Speaker 1: a part of this, and even now they're just playing
- 26:58Speaker 1: into it.
- 26:58Speaker 2: The other funny part about it's not funny but challenging
- 27:01Speaker 2: part for Kiirstarma is he's from the progressive left. They're
- 27:04Speaker 2: traditionally soft on crime. Right. They shut down police stations,
- 27:07Speaker 2: put money into soft welfare programs. They're going to have
- 27:10Speaker 2: to get some of that money back now and start
- 27:12Speaker 2: putting officers on the ground in police stations to regain orders.
- 27:17Speaker 2: So that's another contradiction.
- 27:19Speaker 3: Well, I don't know about soft on crime.
- 27:21Speaker 1: The Home Office did a post on X today saying
- 27:25Speaker 1: for rioting you can get up to ten years people
- 27:28Speaker 1: for violent discord, five years in prison. For you inciting
- 27:33Speaker 1: racial hatred up to seven years in prison. So these
- 27:38Speaker 1: guys are talking a big talk, but like you said
- 27:40Speaker 1: last night, Mac, they don't have room in their prisons
- 27:44Speaker 1: to actually do what they're threatening to do. And I
- 27:48Speaker 1: bet the Brits know that just as much as the
- 27:51Speaker 1: pro Palestinian or the radical Islamists who are causing trouble
- 27:55Speaker 1: on the alls, they would all know that actually your
- 27:58Speaker 1: hands are tied.
- 28:00Speaker 3: You don't have enough room to lock us all lot.
- 28:01Speaker 2: Well, as I said last night, I was quoting the
- 28:03Speaker 2: UK Times. They said there was only seven hundred vacancies
- 28:07Speaker 2: for male prisoners right across the UK, and as a
- 28:10Speaker 2: result of these riots, the arrests are well over four
- 28:12Speaker 2: hundred people now, So they're rapidly reaching a point where
- 28:15Speaker 2: I don't know what they're going to do. Speaking of
- 28:17Speaker 2: people who don't know what they're going to do, Kamala
- 28:19Speaker 2: Harris is getting close to her Democrat convention and she
- 28:23Speaker 2: still hasn't figured out who her vice president will be.
- 28:26Speaker 2: Although a lot of people suggesting Josh Shapiro would be
- 28:29Speaker 2: a very good choice, in the irony is that a
- 28:31Speaker 2: lot of Republicans are suggesting he'd be a good choice
- 28:34Speaker 2: as VP as well. He is in favor of school vouchers,
- 28:38Speaker 2: which will enable people to choose which school they send.
- 28:41Speaker 3: Their kids to.
- 28:42Speaker 2: He used to be anti fracking, but now appears to
- 28:45Speaker 2: be pro oil and gas. He's been a critic of
- 28:48Speaker 2: Benjamin Nette Yahoo, but has been very staunch in his
- 28:52Speaker 2: defense of Israel and it's right to defend itself. He's
- 28:55Speaker 2: been tough on pro Palestinian protesters and on college campus protests.
- 29:01Speaker 2: But maybe that's part of the problem. You see, he
- 29:03Speaker 2: himself is Jewish, and so now many of the Democrats
- 29:06Speaker 2: are saying he might not be the best VP pick
- 29:10Speaker 2: because he's going to upset the progressive left. Here's one
- 29:12Speaker 2: of his colleagues explaining just that.
- 29:15Speaker 11: Those in the overly online left who are attacking Josh
- 29:19Speaker 11: Shapiro's pro Israel positions in a different way than they
- 29:23Speaker 11: are attacking non Jewish contender's positions. They're just telling on themselves.
- 29:29Speaker 11: There is a strong undercurrent of anti semitism to that
- 29:31Speaker 11: it's unacceptable.
- 29:33Speaker 2: It'd never imagined that anti Semitism would now be a
- 29:36Speaker 2: defining factor in choosing the vice potential Vice president of
- 29:40Speaker 2: the United States list.
- 29:41Speaker 1: This is definitely tricky for her because of course half
- 29:44Speaker 1: the Democratic Party didn't rock up to Netanyahu's congressional speech
- 29:48Speaker 1: the week before last, opposing the true She didn't rock
- 29:52Speaker 1: it in Gaza, she didn't rock up, but then she
- 29:54Speaker 1: had a one on one meeting with him later. So
- 29:57Speaker 1: I was like, h virtue signaling, but having you cake
- 30:00Speaker 1: and eating it too. So this Shapiro would be a
- 30:03Speaker 1: very interesting pick for her to make, but also a
- 30:06Speaker 1: good compliment. You don't want too much of the same
- 30:09Speaker 1: when you're talking about a presidential nominee, end a VP
- 30:13Speaker 1: pick you want you want, kind of like a Yin
- 30:15Speaker 1: and Yang situation going on, And in that respect, Shapiro
- 30:20Speaker 1: could be very complimentary to her. My question is more
- 30:23Speaker 1: like who on earth would want to be this woman's VP.
- 30:30Speaker 6: No, we have to stay woke, like everybody needs to
- 30:33Speaker 6: be woke, and you can talk about if you're the
- 30:38Speaker 6: wokest or woke her. But just stay more woke than
- 30:41Speaker 6: less woke.
- 30:43Speaker 1: Yeah, you could not pay me enough, I reckon.
- 30:47Speaker 3: It's Shapiro himself who.
- 30:49Speaker 1: Has asked the Republicans to say ground how about you
- 30:53Speaker 1: guys pitch in, say what a great VP I'll make?
- 30:56Speaker 1: So then they won't pick me because I want to dodge.
- 30:59Speaker 2: This for Can we just can we play that clip
- 31:02Speaker 2: one more time? But this time when you watch it,
- 31:03Speaker 2: don't listen to Kamala Harris so much as watch the
- 31:06Speaker 2: blonde woman sitting beside her and look at the expression
- 31:09Speaker 2: on her face as Kamala Harris speaks.
- 31:11Speaker 6: Have a look, No, we have to stay woke, like
- 31:15Speaker 6: everybody needs to be woke, and you can talk about
- 31:20Speaker 6: it if you're the wokest or woker.
- 31:22Speaker 3: Just stay more woke than less woke. Yeah, cayleb I reckon.
- 31:28Speaker 2: She's sitting there thinking, I wonder if Kamala Harris really
- 31:30Speaker 2: did fall out of the coconute.
- 31:33Speaker 5: Yeah, quite right, seriously, and that was twenty seventeen, right,
- 31:38Speaker 5: So it's every time that it's brought up that she
- 31:41Speaker 5: was the most liberal senator. I mean, so she can't
- 31:43Speaker 5: deny it. Oh, everybody should be woke Ian and who's
- 31:47Speaker 5: having a debate over whether they're woke her or the
- 31:50Speaker 5: woe caist. I mean, I didn't know that this was
- 31:52Speaker 5: something she would kick measure in contest. But we're going
- 31:54Speaker 5: to work out who's woker than the other, because of course,
- 31:57Speaker 5: when they come for you with the social credit score,
- 31:59Speaker 5: they will be checking your wokery and where you sit
- 32:02Speaker 5: on the scale in order to continue living in the country.
- 32:05Speaker 3: But it is.
- 32:06Speaker 5: Absurd that we are at a point where someone's viability
- 32:11Speaker 5: as a vice president could be based on whether or
- 32:13Speaker 5: not they are Jewish. Like, almost on that and I
- 32:16Speaker 5: know Kamala would feel very differently, but almost on principle alone,
- 32:20Speaker 5: that would be enough for me to say, well, he's
- 32:22Speaker 5: my guy, because if the people in the party hate
- 32:26Speaker 5: him that much there were some people in the party
- 32:28Speaker 5: hate him meant that much, it proves he's doing the
- 32:30Speaker 5: right thing. I mean, you can't just go around saying well,
- 32:33Speaker 5: you cannot possibly be the candidate for vice president because
- 32:36Speaker 5: you're a Jew and shock horror, you've supported Israel. I mean,
- 32:40Speaker 5: what do they expect him to do? Roll over and
- 32:42Speaker 5: just forget about his ancestry. It's bloody obvious there are
- 32:46Speaker 5: other things you could say he is not suitable for VP.
- 32:49Speaker 5: I mean, the fact that he's only been the governor
- 32:52Speaker 5: of Pennsylvania since last year they have might disqualify him
- 32:56Speaker 5: from the opportunity to be VP. But no, they're going
- 33:00Speaker 5: after his ancestry in the fact he supported Israel. As
- 33:03Speaker 5: you said, Liz, generally, and this is why. In the
- 33:06Speaker 5: Labor Party, and I know it's a bit different at
- 33:09Speaker 5: the moment, but in general you've had a Labor Right
- 33:12Speaker 5: leader and then a Labor Left deputy leader, and part
- 33:15Speaker 5: of that comes out of the fact that the factions
- 33:18Speaker 5: do have to share some stuff and make decisions about
- 33:22Speaker 5: divvying up who gets certain ministries and whatever. But in general,
- 33:26Speaker 5: you have someone that comes from one side of the
- 33:28Speaker 5: party at the top, and then their right hand man
- 33:31Speaker 5: or woman these days, in the equal opportunity world comes
- 33:33Speaker 5: from the other side of the party, and you are
- 33:36Speaker 5: served much better in that kind of arrangement, both in
- 33:39Speaker 5: terms of playing to the public and smoothing things over
- 33:42Speaker 5: in your own party when you've kind of got both sides,
- 33:45Speaker 5: and so having Kamala and Shapiro would achieve that. But
- 33:49Speaker 5: as we were saying to Paul Off, Air Eliza I
- 33:52Speaker 5: were anyway saying to pull off air earlier. If she
- 33:56Speaker 5: does go with Shapiro, the crazies will all turn up
- 34:00Speaker 5: to the DNC and then they will turn it into
- 34:03Speaker 5: an absolute you know what show, And that's something she
- 34:07Speaker 5: would want to avoid because if the DNC goes really well,
- 34:10Speaker 5: it gives her another boost, and the more boost she
- 34:12Speaker 5: can get leading up to November, the better.
- 34:15Speaker 1: But speaking of boost, because he is the governor of Pennsylvania,
- 34:20Speaker 1: everybody wants a boost in Pennsylvania because it's one of
- 34:24Speaker 1: those knife edged states. So if she were to pic
- 34:27Speaker 1: Shapiro for VP, well maybe.
- 34:30Speaker 3: That would get Pennsylvania across the line.
- 34:33Speaker 5: Who knows.
- 34:35Speaker 1: But this recent stock market a tumble, shall we say,
- 34:40Speaker 1: getting everyone very very worried about their stocks. Trump has
- 34:44Speaker 1: gone ahead and brilliantly dubbed this the Krmala crash, and
- 34:49Speaker 1: it didn't take long for the Internet to kick in
- 34:52Speaker 1: with a parody video saying, no, no, is this Kamala
- 34:55Speaker 1: crash or Biden economics at work, which she's been talking
- 35:00Speaker 1: up for years.
- 35:03Speaker 12: Here we go, look at them go down what some
- 35:05Speaker 12: would call history of the don't say that I've never.
- 35:08Speaker 3: Been down a thousand points. Ever, not even enter day
- 35:10Speaker 3: on the now step.
- 35:11Speaker 6: Bidonomics is working.
- 35:13Speaker 3: It's working.
- 35:14Speaker 11: The stock market has just taken a big old nosedive
- 35:17Speaker 11: this morning.
- 35:18Speaker 3: Ol Jones is down about one thousand and ten points.
- 35:21Speaker 3: That is calmed fidnymics.
- 35:25Speaker 5: The Dow fell more than six hundred points Friday on
- 35:27Speaker 5: a weaker than expected.
- 35:29Speaker 2: Jobs are for five percent, Meta, six percent, Amazon, six percent,
- 35:34Speaker 2: Apple nine percent down.
- 35:35Speaker 3: Tidonomics is working.
- 35:39Speaker 1: Next move is the great depression of twenty twenty four,
- 35:42Speaker 1: Trumpez warned. But of course, if you vote for him,
- 35:45Speaker 1: it won't get that bad. Although while everyone's laughing about
- 35:49Speaker 1: this new dubbed Kamala crash, it's all her fault. I
- 35:53Speaker 1: think we found the legitimate source of the Kamala crash
- 35:58Speaker 1: in the White House's Economic Advice as a Jared Bernstein.
- 36:02Speaker 1: Here he is struggling to answer the most basic question.
- 36:07Speaker 5: Like you said, they print the dollar, so why does
- 36:10Speaker 5: the government even.
- 36:11Speaker 3: Borrow well.
- 36:15Speaker 13: The so the I mean again, some of this stuff
- 36:20Speaker 13: gets some of the language that the some of the
- 36:24Speaker 13: language and concepts are just confusing. I mean, the government
- 36:27Speaker 13: definitely prints money, and it definitely lends that money, which
- 36:30Speaker 13: is why the government definitely prints money, and then it
- 36:34Speaker 13: lends that money by selling bonds.
- 36:38Speaker 3: Is that what they do?
- 36:39Speaker 5: They they.
- 36:42Speaker 3: Yeah, they.
- 36:44Speaker 13: They sell bonds. Yeah, they sell bonds.
- 36:48Speaker 1: Mister Bernstein, you literally have absolutely no idea what you're
- 36:51Speaker 1: talking about, do you. That interview actually started with her saying, well,
- 36:56Speaker 1: hang in a minute. You just said the government can't
- 36:59Speaker 1: go bankrupt because it prints the money. He sits there
- 37:04Speaker 1: with the US in thirty five trillion dollars debt, so rightly,
- 37:09Speaker 1: she says, well, hang on a minute. So if you're
- 37:12Speaker 1: printing the money, why do you need to loan money
- 37:15Speaker 1: at all? He could not even answer. The way the
- 37:19Speaker 1: system works. It did my head in. Then you have
- 37:22Speaker 1: to watch the entire length of that interview. You will
- 37:25Speaker 1: be either laughing or crying by the end of it.
- 37:27Speaker 3: Maybe both.
- 37:28Speaker 2: I think you're being unkind to the guy. He managed
- 37:30Speaker 2: to do something very, very remarkable. He made Kamala Harris
- 37:33Speaker 2: sound articulate. We're going to go to a break when
- 37:36Speaker 2: we come back for look at What's making News in
- 37:37Speaker 2: Tomorrow's Papers.
- 37:41Speaker 3: Welcome back.
- 37:42Speaker 2: Let's take a look at what's making news in tomorrow's papers.
- 37:44Speaker 2: And if you've been watching the show for a while,
- 37:46Speaker 2: you'll know that Caleb Bond loves a good anti council story.
- 37:50Speaker 2: The Telegraph.
- 37:50Speaker 5: I got one, that's right, stuffham, I say a polish
- 37:54Speaker 5: A lot of them, You useless Bastard's one thing they
- 37:57Speaker 5: are good at, though he's getting money out of you.
- 38:00Speaker 5: As the Daily Telegraph points out tomorrow, it says, sneaky
- 38:03Speaker 5: councils to fire the state on parking tickets. Stop this
- 38:07Speaker 5: fine mess. Gritty suburban councils raked in more than one
- 38:11Speaker 5: hundred and fifty five million dollars from ticketless parking, finds
- 38:15Speaker 5: last financial year for an explosion in ranges issuing fines
- 38:19Speaker 5: without leaving a ticket, despite being ordered by the Men's
- 38:22Speaker 5: government to stop the practice months ago. So basically what
- 38:25Speaker 5: happens is you rock up to your parking spot, you overstay,
- 38:30Speaker 5: you're welcome, you get a fine, but instead of it
- 38:33Speaker 5: being slipped under the windscreen wiper, it turns up in
- 38:37Speaker 5: the mail weeks later, which means you don't have the
- 38:40Speaker 5: opportunity to collect any evidence that may well prove that
- 38:43Speaker 5: you hadn't overstayed the time there, or that the sign
- 38:46Speaker 5: was confusing, or that you had parked within the rules
- 38:49Speaker 5: given and of course the councils know this. The whole
- 38:52Speaker 5: thing is set up to disadvantage you, so you just go,
- 38:55Speaker 5: oh bug it, I'll just pay the fine to get
- 38:58Speaker 5: the thing out of the way. But it has resulted
- 39:00Speaker 5: in a forty seven percent increase in the fines being issued,
- 39:05Speaker 5: or there's certainly been such an increase in the ticketless
- 39:08Speaker 5: fines being issued, because the councils.
- 39:10Speaker 3: Will love it.
- 39:11Speaker 5: They don't give us stuff whether you're in the right
- 39:14Speaker 5: or not. They just want to get as much money
- 39:16Speaker 5: out of you as possible by whatever means possible.
- 39:19Speaker 3: Fifty two million last financially.
- 39:22Speaker 1: Fifty two million is what they wrong out of our
- 39:27Speaker 1: basically called dead hands, due to the fact that we're
- 39:29Speaker 1: already living at a cost of living crisis of their making,
- 39:33Speaker 1: and yet they're ringing every penny out of us just
- 39:36Speaker 1: to park the cars that we pay extortionate fees to have,
- 39:40Speaker 1: especially if you're in Sydney and on.
- 39:43Speaker 3: The roads that we already paid to belt.
- 39:46Speaker 1: It does my head in I recently got a three
- 39:49Speaker 1: hundred and twenty dollars parking fine for parking.
- 39:52Speaker 3: On my own street.
- 39:53Speaker 1: Now I have my own park, but being neighborly and
- 39:57Speaker 1: my neighbor was moving out. I said, yeah, you can
- 39:59Speaker 1: have my part. That's fine, I'll park on the street.
- 40:02Speaker 1: There is no signage on this street saying that there's
- 40:05Speaker 1: anything special about the yellow line. Yes, everyone has to
- 40:09Speaker 1: listen to me on my soapbox right now. No signage whatsoever.
- 40:14Speaker 1: What kind of a parking fine is three hundred and
- 40:16Speaker 1: twenty dollars? I can cop eighty or maybe one hundred
- 40:20Speaker 1: and twenty, but three hundred and twenty. So I wrote
- 40:23Speaker 1: into the council very kindly, zero abuse, and simply explain
- 40:28Speaker 1: the situation.
- 40:29Speaker 3: I was just being neighborly.
- 40:30Speaker 1: By the way, if you're going to whack people, maybe
- 40:32Speaker 1: you need to put some signage on the street indicating
- 40:35Speaker 1: that there's something special about this yellow line and people
- 40:38Speaker 1: can't park there. Otherwise they will cop an extortionate feet
- 40:41Speaker 1: because who would risk a three hundred and twenty dollar
- 40:44Speaker 1: parking fine?
- 40:45Speaker 3: Nobody?
- 40:46Speaker 5: Did you park on the yellow line?
- 40:48Speaker 1: Yes?
- 40:49Speaker 5: I thought everyone knew not to park on yellow line.
- 40:52Speaker 3: Well, I'm not from Sydney.
- 40:54Speaker 1: Is it also not true that hire I lived previously,
- 40:57Speaker 1: there was no yellow line.
- 40:58Speaker 2: Was half your car in like a a garden bed
- 41:00Speaker 2: or something like that?
- 41:03Speaker 3: Someone's driveway.
- 41:04Speaker 2: No, you don't.
- 41:05Speaker 5: Park on yellow lines. There's a yellow line there at
- 41:08Speaker 5: means there was.
- 41:09Speaker 8: No signage on the street the point of the yellow
- 41:12Speaker 8: So what happened.
- 41:12Speaker 2: Did you get a response from the council.
- 41:14Speaker 1: No response from the council, just another fine with sixty
- 41:18Speaker 1: five bucks on top on because you haven't paid it.
- 41:22Speaker 5: And I'm like, I didn't even get I thought yellow
- 41:25Speaker 5: lines were a universal language for you can't park, because
- 41:28Speaker 5: nor do they put them in.
- 41:32Speaker 3: From w way, you can't. It should be a red line.
- 41:36Speaker 5: Of course there is. But I take your point.
- 41:41Speaker 3: Do you guys have yellow lines in Adelaide?
- 41:43Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah on on into like at the
- 41:46Speaker 5: corners of intersections and stuff.
- 41:47Speaker 3: So okay, but you guys.
- 41:48Speaker 1: Were weird when you were live there, where you were
- 41:50Speaker 1: living in Melbourne.
- 41:52Speaker 3: When you were living in Melbourne, were that yellow lines?
- 41:54Speaker 3: I can't remember. I just know that you.
- 41:56Speaker 5: Don't park on a yellow line.
- 41:57Speaker 1: But I take your perth, no yellow lines, Queen's no
- 42:00Speaker 1: yellow lines.
- 42:01Speaker 3: I moved to Sydney. They're like, oh, yellow line means
- 42:03Speaker 3: three hundred and twenty.
- 42:05Speaker 5: I take it out. The three hundred and twenty dollars
- 42:07Speaker 5: is insane, though, and I remember doing a story when
- 42:10Speaker 5: I was in Adelaide about a council where they had
- 42:15Speaker 5: gone through and changed the parking rules on some particular
- 42:19Speaker 5: street right, but everyone just continued parking on the street
- 42:22Speaker 5: because they had not been informed by the council that
- 42:24Speaker 5: the rules were changing. But they just came through one
- 42:27Speaker 5: day and put up some signs or something. Right then
- 42:31Speaker 5: they went through and they find literally every vehicle that
- 42:36Speaker 5: was parked on the street because the residents didn't know
- 42:39Speaker 5: that they now had to apply for a permit or something.
- 42:42Speaker 5: And so someone wrote to me and was like, Caleb
- 42:44Speaker 5: Helpers bleeds is like ninety of us have received three
- 42:48Speaker 5: hundred and twenty dollars fines. Anyway, I managed to get
- 42:51Speaker 5: that problem fixed up. It's amazing how quickly councils do
- 42:54Speaker 5: things when the media gets involved, because they're like, oh, no,
- 42:57Speaker 5: it's some bad publicity. The three hundred and twenty dollar
- 43:00Speaker 5: was insane.
- 43:01Speaker 1: You're hurting nobody. I don't even know why there is
- 43:04Speaker 1: a yellow line there. Literally I have studied it from
- 43:07Speaker 1: every angle trying to figure it out out.
- 43:09Speaker 5: How you literally get less of the punching someone in
- 43:13Speaker 5: the face's ridiculous.
- 43:15Speaker 1: Thank you, also, can you please write into the council
- 43:18Speaker 1: since you're so affected, Well.
- 43:21Speaker 5: Well you should have just done it on the show
- 43:23Speaker 5: that night.
- 43:25Speaker 3: Never get stored, counsel.
- 43:27Speaker 2: They showing you even more money after them to.
- 43:30Speaker 3: The front page of the odds Now.
- 43:32Speaker 1: If rates pain persists, please.
- 43:35Speaker 3: See doctor Chalmers.
- 43:37Speaker 1: I don't think he's going to fix anything, but Reserve
- 43:40Speaker 1: Bank Governor Michelle Bullock has pushed back the prospect of
- 43:44Speaker 1: interest rate cuts until next year and revealed quote very
- 43:48Speaker 1: serious end quote consideration was given to a hike on Tuesday,
- 43:53Speaker 1: with the Central Bank acknowledging that government spending was keeping
- 43:56Speaker 1: inflation higher for long.
- 44:00Speaker 8: Go ah, tell us something we don't know.
- 44:04Speaker 1: So the cause of our pain isn't doing anything except
- 44:07Speaker 1: for funneling out more forms of hey, free money, because
- 44:11Speaker 1: we know you guys are in pain. Therefar prolonging the pain.
- 44:17Speaker 3: There's just no end in.
- 44:18Speaker 1: Sight because I have not seen, and I said this
- 44:21Speaker 1: last week, any state premiere or any of our federal
- 44:26Speaker 1: government say anything along the lines of, Okay, we've got
- 44:30Speaker 1: to be a bit frugal. Everyone tight in your belts.
- 44:32Speaker 1: We've got to get our spending under control. In order
- 44:35Speaker 1: to get this under control. It's just not happening.
- 44:38Speaker 5: Dr Chalmers is just bloody lucky that we're probably not
- 44:40Speaker 5: going to get an interest rate rise now on the
- 44:44Speaker 5: on the back of what's been happening overseas, particularly in
- 44:47Speaker 5: the fact that we are effectively in recession. They don't
- 44:50Speaker 5: want to lean into that any further. So bloody lucky
- 44:53Speaker 5: in that respect.
- 44:54Speaker 2: The headline if pain persists, see doctor Chalmers. The first
- 44:57Speaker 2: thing I thought of.
- 44:58Speaker 3: Was, here's the pain.
- 44:59Speaker 2: What's the the doctor on the Simpsons who you go
- 45:02Speaker 2: in with a sore arm and you come out with
- 45:04Speaker 2: a leg having been imitated. That's the kind of doctor
- 45:07Speaker 2: he is. It just makes everything worse.
- 45:11Speaker 1: To the second splash in the front of the Ods,
- 45:13Speaker 1: sex slavery fraud trigger crackdown on colleges. Dozens of dodgy
- 45:19Speaker 1: training providers have been shut down over ties to organized crime,
- 45:23Speaker 1: fraud and bogus qualifications as cash staffd universities threatened to
- 45:28Speaker 1: sack staff. Home affairs officials have revealed that sex trafficking
- 45:32Speaker 1: and slavery among international students, along with the housing shortages,
- 45:38Speaker 1: are the main reasons the Albanese government is rationing enrollments
- 45:42Speaker 1: of international students in Australian universities, training colleges and schools. Well, well, well,
- 45:49Speaker 1: it's the first we've heard of that angle.
- 45:52Speaker 5: Well, I don't know that just the first we've heard,
- 45:54Speaker 5: but I think it's been going on for a long time.
- 45:57Speaker 5: It's the first time something's actually been done about it,
- 45:59Speaker 5: thank god. And now the unis are jumping up and
- 46:02Speaker 5: down and complaining we're going to sack staff if you
- 46:06Speaker 5: cut the number of foreign enrollments. We're allowed to add
- 46:09Speaker 5: that the universities are basically acting like organized crime gangs themselves.
- 46:13Speaker 5: They're making the argument for them to be shut down.
- 46:16Speaker 2: Indeed, we're going to go to a break. Would you
- 46:18Speaker 2: buy perfume for your dog? Would you buy luxury perfume
- 46:21Speaker 2: for your dog? Coming up in a second, welcome back. Well,
- 46:28Speaker 2: we all know that Caleb's got cats and he certainly
- 46:30Speaker 2: pampers them. But Caleb, would you pamper a dog?
- 46:33Speaker 5: Well, I've always thought that dog people are a bit weird, right,
- 46:37Speaker 5: and they're certainly very entitled. They think their dogs should
- 46:40Speaker 5: be able to crap anywhere it likes. I don't have
- 46:43Speaker 5: to pick it up. I should be able to take
- 46:44Speaker 5: it on the train. I should be able to take
- 46:46Speaker 5: it to the pub.
- 46:47Speaker 3: I should be able to let it.
- 46:48Speaker 5: Yap all night in the backyard. Well it just goes
- 46:52Speaker 5: one step further, like you are doing nothing to dissuade
- 46:56Speaker 5: me from thinking you are a bunch of widows. Because
- 46:59Speaker 5: dog chain Gabbana has decided that there is a market
- 47:03Speaker 5: for one hundred and seventy five Australian dollar perfume for dogs.
- 47:09Speaker 5: Take a look.
- 47:11Speaker 10: Fast, one thick flour.
- 47:19Speaker 12: I am delicate, authentic, charismatic, sensitive, enigmatic, rebel, fresh, irresistible
- 47:37Speaker 12: clean because I'm not just a dog. I'm the new
- 47:46Speaker 12: alcohol free freaks missed for dogs.
- 47:49Speaker 5: I mean, seriously, look, there may actually be an argument
- 47:53Speaker 5: for it, because of course dogs sometimes absolutely bloody stink.
- 47:59Speaker 5: Cat's just clean themselves up. Dogs you've got to have
- 48:02Speaker 5: them washed and shampooed, and you've got his spray perfume
- 48:05Speaker 5: on them so they don't bloody stink. Why did people
- 48:08Speaker 5: persist with this?
- 48:10Speaker 3: Not?
- 48:10Speaker 2: Who knows that, tilly what I persist with? I hit
- 48:13Speaker 2: the same pothole almost every night on my way home
- 48:15Speaker 2: from these studios. But some people in the Victorian town
- 48:18Speaker 2: of Inverlock have found a clever way, a creative way
- 48:21Speaker 2: of getting the council to fix the roads. Some guy
- 48:25Speaker 2: painted an image of a giant penis over the pothole.
- 48:28Speaker 2: That was so annoying locals. Now there's the image there
- 48:32Speaker 2: now that went viral on social media. Here's some of
- 48:35Speaker 2: the comments that people made. Someone said, seeing that image,
- 48:38Speaker 2: let me guess that's Ala Thorne's road. I've been dodging
- 48:40Speaker 2: this for a while now the whole I mean. Someone
- 48:43Speaker 2: else wrote, made my day. That pothole is awful. Another
- 48:46Speaker 2: person wrote I had a laugh driving over this and
- 48:49Speaker 2: was grateful that it stood out.
- 48:51Speaker 3: Well.
- 48:51Speaker 2: Guess what, just a few days after that image was
- 48:56Speaker 2: painted all over the road where the pothole is. Have
- 48:58Speaker 2: a look at what council did. They managed not only
- 49:01Speaker 2: to remove the image of the dried penis, but the
- 49:03Speaker 2: pothole is magically filled. So if you've got a pothole
- 49:06Speaker 2: out the front of your place. I don't know if
- 49:08Speaker 2: there's enough paint in New South Wales to fix all
- 49:10Speaker 2: the potholes, but creative idea got council's attention. That's it
- 49:14Speaker 2: from us stick around. Coming up is the read a
- 49:16Speaker 2: Penalty show
