- 0:11Speaker 1: Is the Gold Report tonight big search of supporting the
- 0:16Speaker 1: polls for Paulin Hanson. There's another sign of trouble for
- 0:19Speaker 1: the Liberals. She'll be my guest, and the Prime Minister
- 0:22Speaker 1: kicks off his economic round table. But why is it
- 0:25Speaker 1: so secret? Also, tonight's school students bombarded by a new
- 0:30Speaker 1: film teaching them to be terrified of the fake climate crisis.
- 0:34Speaker 2: Our inaction is stealing their present.
- 0:38Speaker 1: I don't really work.
- 0:39Speaker 3: The cold rain now?
- 0:42Speaker 1: Is that child abuse? Plus how our greedy government could
- 0:45Speaker 1: be making this criminal a billionaire with a massive tax
- 0:50Speaker 1: that actually backfiring and making the rest of us a
- 0:52Speaker 1: lot poorer. But first, can you believe this? Our ridiculously
- 0:59Speaker 1: anti Israel government has canceled the visa an Israeli politician
- 1:02Speaker 1: in part because he says Amas should be eliminated, and
- 1:09Speaker 1: now Israel is hit back. It's Prime Minister Benjamin Lenho
- 1:12Speaker 1: has just posted that history will remember Alban Easy for
- 1:17Speaker 1: what he is, a weak politician who betrayed Israel and
- 1:23Speaker 1: abandoned Australia's Jews. That's just been posted in. Israel's Foreign
- 1:27Speaker 1: minister says that if we're going to ban some Israeli politicians,
- 1:30Speaker 1: he's going to restrict visas for ours. How did it
- 1:34Speaker 1: get to this, Anthony Albanezi, You know I had to
- 1:39Speaker 1: laugh at our Prime minister a couple of days ago
- 1:41Speaker 1: saying terror and murder must not be rewarded.
- 1:46Speaker 4: What we want to see is that the sovereignty of
- 1:51Speaker 4: Ukraine be protected and that the illegal and moral invasion
- 1:57Speaker 4: are conducted by mister in Russia are not prove rewarded.
- 2:03Speaker 1: Don't reward this terror and all that in Ukraine. But
- 2:10Speaker 1: why is the same prime minister rewarding the illegal and
- 2:12Speaker 1: immoral invasion of Israel. Bahamas, which started this war in
- 2:17Speaker 1: the Middle East thirty two years ago, were slaughtering twelve
- 2:20Speaker 1: hundred Israelis, hacking off heads, raping women, taking one hundred
- 2:24Speaker 1: and fifty one hostages, twenty of whom still held in
- 2:26Speaker 1: tunnels under Gaza and now Albaniz is in a full
- 2:31Speaker 1: scale diplomatic for tat war with Israel's Foreign minister. After
- 2:36Speaker 1: Home Affairs Minster Tony Burke counseled the visa of a
- 2:38Speaker 1: second Israeli politician, this time Simpra Rockman, a member of
- 2:43Speaker 1: Israel's religious Zionus party and chairman of its parliament's Constitution,
- 2:48Speaker 1: Law and Justice Committee, and Burke was saying love, Well,
- 2:52Speaker 1: if you're going to come to Australia spread a message
- 2:53Speaker 1: of hated division, we don't want you here. Under the
- 2:57Speaker 1: our government Australia, we're a country where every one can
- 3:00Speaker 1: be safe and feel safe. Well, Rockman, who's actually coming
- 3:06Speaker 1: to talk to Jewish groups, was incensed.
- 3:10Speaker 5: In Australia, chanting in the streets from the river to
- 3:14Speaker 5: the sea, Palestine would be free. I would think this
- 3:17Speaker 5: is a message of hate and division that calls for
- 3:19Speaker 5: the destruction of the state of Israel and therefore actually
- 3:22Speaker 5: for genocide of Jews. That's a message of hate and destruction.
- 3:26Speaker 5: I did not see the Government of Australia doing anything
- 3:29Speaker 5: against those messages.
- 3:31Speaker 1: No good point. If Tony Burke wants to keep haters
- 3:34Speaker 1: out of the country, what is he doing about the
- 3:36Speaker 1: people in the anti Israel rally on Sydney Harbor Bridge
- 3:39Speaker 1: who paraded in front of a poster of the terrorst
- 3:42Speaker 1: sponsoring leader of Iran or the protesters there who flew
- 3:46Speaker 1: the Islamist jihadest flag or flags of Hamas and chanted
- 3:52Speaker 1: for the killing of Israeli soldiers who let those guys
- 4:01Speaker 1: in and Burke hasn't even spelled out yet what hated
- 4:05Speaker 1: division and danger Rothman was bringing here. But Australia this
- 4:11Speaker 1: afternoon said it had Home Affairs documents that actually said
- 4:15Speaker 1: that caused by rothamand to eliminate the Hamas terrorists would
- 4:20Speaker 1: be and I quote inflammatory and concerning to some of
- 4:24Speaker 1: the Australian community. Seriously, we have Australians who think that
- 4:31Speaker 1: saying these vile terrorsts shall be destroyed, they'll be upset.
- 4:38Speaker 1: I mean which Australians, Minister Burke, which Australians are these
- 4:42Speaker 1: and aren't they? Then our real problem says it all
- 4:49Speaker 1: about this bad government. These documents, apparently the Home Affairs
- 4:52Speaker 1: Department documents reportedly say there are fears of big protests
- 4:55Speaker 1: against Rocklin for once calling guys and children enemies and
- 5:00Speaker 1: calling for Palestinians to be relocated to other countries. I'm
- 5:05Speaker 1: no fan of this guy that I do think the
- 5:08Speaker 1: only trouble we'd get from a Rothmann visit would be
- 5:11Speaker 1: all the pro Palestinian extremists here who'd go nuts, may
- 5:15Speaker 1: be violent. Do these people then decide our immigration policy anyway?
- 5:22Speaker 1: Like I said, Israel's for a minutes they hit the
- 5:24Speaker 1: Roof posted a long attack if some of it, I
- 5:27Speaker 1: decided to revoke the visas of Australian representatives of the
- 5:30Speaker 1: Palastinian authority. That's our diplomats there. I also instructed the
- 5:33Speaker 1: Israeli Embassy in Canberra to carefully examine any official Australian
- 5:38Speaker 1: visa application for entry to Israel. While anti semitinm is
- 5:42Speaker 1: raging in Australia, the Australian governments choosing to fuel it
- 5:46Speaker 1: by false accusations as if the visits of Israeli figures
- 5:50Speaker 1: will disrupt public order and harm australis Muslim population. It
- 5:54Speaker 1: is shameful and unacceptable.
- 5:58Speaker 6: This is an elected member of the Israeli Parliament and
- 6:02Speaker 6: it's a very unusual thing to refuse a visa. And
- 6:06Speaker 6: I haven't seen explanations from Tony Burke, but actually explain
- 6:10Speaker 6: what is going on here, tak.
- 6:12Speaker 1: How Foreign Minister Pennywog responded just after midnight to this
- 6:16Speaker 1: visa threat from Israel. Are we talk about hypocrisy? One
- 6:23Speaker 1: complained about Israel doing this to our diplomats at a
- 6:29Speaker 1: time when dialogue and diplomacy are needed more than ever
- 6:33Speaker 1: than Netnau government is isolating Israel listen to yourself, Penny Wog,
- 6:38Speaker 1: you demand now dialogue after your own government just ban
- 6:42Speaker 1: not one, but two members of Israel's parliament for coming
- 6:45Speaker 1: here for some dialogue. How crazy is this government and
- 6:51Speaker 1: how sinister. But to Ukraine, good news. It turns out
- 7:01Speaker 1: it's not just the Russian president Walcuminal Vladimir Putin who
- 7:04Speaker 1: can flatter Donald Trump. I said last night, how Putin
- 7:08Speaker 1: lovest Friday in Alaska got the US president eating out
- 7:11Speaker 1: of his hand despite refusing Trump's demand for ceasefire in Ukraine. Well,
- 7:17Speaker 1: seven European leaders then rushed to Washington yesterday to join
- 7:21Speaker 1: Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenski. Improved that when it came to flattery,
- 7:26Speaker 1: Putin was an amateur. They poured it on. Oh, mister President,
- 7:32Speaker 1: dear Donald, your meeting with Putin was fabulous, fabulous, And
- 7:39Speaker 1: the good news for Ukraine is that Trump lapped it
- 7:42Speaker 1: all up. I really want to thank you, President of
- 7:46Speaker 1: the United States, dear Donald, for the fact that you,
- 7:48Speaker 1: as I said before, it broke the deathlock basically with
- 7:52Speaker 1: the president put him.
- 7:53Speaker 7: Something is changing, Something has changed thanks to you so.
- 7:57Speaker 1: For nobody's been able to bring it to this point
- 8:00Speaker 1: and people, the path is opened. He opened it. And Zelenski,
- 8:05Speaker 1: who the last time he was at the White House
- 8:08Speaker 1: was abused and thrown out by Trump for being supposedly
- 8:12Speaker 1: ungrateful and disrespectful, was even heckled there by a pro
- 8:17Speaker 1: Trump journalist at the time for not wearing a suit. Well,
- 8:21Speaker 1: Zelenski this time turned up in a suit jacket with
- 8:25Speaker 1: more flattery for the president as sweet letter for his wife.
- 8:28Speaker 1: And Trump loved that too. Even that peanut in the
- 8:31Speaker 1: press corporate tax villaincy's clothes last time loved it. President,
- 8:37Speaker 1: You love the fabulous in that suit. I said the
- 8:42Speaker 1: same thing, I said.
- 8:44Speaker 8: The one that attacked you last time him the same suits.
- 8:52Speaker 1: It's a very juvenile and frankly pathetic way to decide
- 8:56Speaker 1: great matters of foreign affairs. But it worked. I mean,
- 8:59Speaker 1: Trump's spine was stiffened. He treated Celenski with respect this time.
- 9:03Speaker 1: He didn't try to bully him as many feared, into
- 9:06Speaker 1: giving into Putin's demands to surrender parts of Ukraine's system
- 9:09Speaker 1: provinces which the Russians still hadn't managed to conquer. I mean,
- 9:13Speaker 1: this was a threat that Putin that Trump texted posted
- 9:20Speaker 1: just only the day before Trump also interrupted the meeting
- 9:24Speaker 1: to ring Putin ask him to meet Zelenski directly, apparently
- 9:29Speaker 1: got an agreement. Maybe two weeks time could happen to
- 9:32Speaker 1: talk peace and Trump's secretary of state. How that is
- 9:36Speaker 1: another breakthrough.
- 9:37Speaker 9: Just the fact that Putin is saying, sure, I'll meet
- 9:39Speaker 9: was Olenski.
- 9:40Speaker 10: That's a big deal.
- 9:43Speaker 1: Maybe it is going to be a breakthrough. But let's
- 9:46Speaker 1: see if Putin actually does it. German chances of Friedrich
- 9:50Speaker 1: Mertz suggested yesterday that Putin were just chicken out again,
- 9:53Speaker 1: or rather just keep this game going while he kept
- 9:56Speaker 1: on trying to smash Ukraine and take up even more
- 9:59Speaker 1: of it's territory. Because let me cut through all the
- 10:03Speaker 1: flattery and the boasting and get to the reality. For
- 10:09Speaker 1: all the European leaders' anxiety to butter up Donald Trump,
- 10:13Speaker 1: they still couldn't help but gently disagree with him, this
- 10:16Speaker 1: time without him blowing up. Merits and Zelenski again said
- 10:21Speaker 1: the pressure had to be put on Putin for a
- 10:25Speaker 1: cease fire now, which happened to be Trump's own position
- 10:31Speaker 1: until Putin smothered him in flattery last week. Because the
- 10:38Speaker 1: Europeans fear that Putin is just stalling for more time.
- 10:42Speaker 1: He isn't serious about peace at all or not yet.
- 10:46Speaker 11: Let's try to put pressure on Russia because the credibility
- 10:50Speaker 11: of this effort, these efforts we are undertaking today are
- 10:53Speaker 11: depending on at least a ceasefire from the beginning of
- 10:57Speaker 11: the serious negotiations.
- 10:58Speaker 7: It's impossible to do this under their pressure of weapons,
- 11:02Speaker 7: so it's necessary to cease fire now.
- 11:06Speaker 1: It's true that Donald Trump was caught on a hot
- 11:08Speaker 1: mike quietly whispering to the French president that he really
- 11:13Speaker 1: did think Putin this time wanted peace.
- 11:16Speaker 4: I think he was.
- 11:19Speaker 6: I think he wants to.
- 11:20Speaker 2: Make an off goosday and as crazy as a ses.
- 11:24Speaker 1: Putin's war has been a disaster for its country. More
- 11:27Speaker 1: than a million Russians are dead or injured. He might
- 11:30Speaker 1: be after a deal that he can sell us a win,
- 11:33Speaker 1: but where's the proof really that he's ready to stop.
- 11:38Speaker 1: Yesterday Putin just kept bombing civilian targets in Ukraine. Five
- 11:42Speaker 1: drones hit this apartment blocking Kharkiv, killing seven people, including
- 11:48Speaker 1: a young family with two children. He killed seven other
- 11:51Speaker 1: people in other cities as well, And that wasn't all.
- 11:56Speaker 1: Do you remember how Trump's team claimed that Putin had
- 11:59Speaker 1: agree in Alaska at least, so let Ukraine now get
- 12:04Speaker 1: NATO style security guarantees against another Russian attack. Another Russian
- 12:11Speaker 1: attack in Ukraine if it agreed to a peace deal
- 12:13Speaker 1: that left Russia holding Ukrainian territories are really conquered. This
- 12:17Speaker 1: was the great breakthrough. Apparently not so fast. Not so fast.
- 12:21Speaker 1: Trump and the Europeans yesterday talking about you know exactly
- 12:24Speaker 1: what kind of security they could now offer. Britain and
- 12:27Speaker 1: France have said that send peace keepers into Ukraine to
- 12:30Speaker 1: stop another Russian attack. Later, Trump, yes, that I said
- 12:33Speaker 1: it back them, although not necessarily with soldiers on the ground.
- 12:38Speaker 8: Your team has talked about security guarantees.
- 12:39Speaker 1: Could that involve US troops? Would you rule that out
- 12:41Speaker 1: in the future.
- 12:43Speaker 8: We'll let you know that maybe later Today. We're meeting
- 12:47Speaker 8: with seven great leaders of great countries also, and we'll
- 12:51Speaker 8: be talking about that. They are a first line of
- 12:54Speaker 8: defense because they're there, they're Europe But we're going to
- 12:57Speaker 8: help them out also, we'll be involved.
- 12:59Speaker 1: In all positive right. But Russia's Foreign ministry meanwhile put
- 13:05Speaker 1: out a statement at the same time saying deal, no
- 13:10Speaker 1: deal here, No to those peacekeepers. It said, we reaffirm
- 13:15Speaker 1: our repeatedly stated position on the categoric or rejection of
- 13:19Speaker 1: any scenarios evolving the appearance of NATO military contingents in
- 13:24Speaker 1: Ukraine just more evidence of masre just dicking them around.
- 13:30Speaker 1: And peace will only come with force, and that means
- 13:33Speaker 1: force from Trump's US, because I mean, this is the
- 13:35Speaker 1: real message from the extraordinary flattery of Trump from those
- 13:38Speaker 1: European leaders. You may laugh, but they're really beggars. They're
- 13:43Speaker 1: courtiers at the court of Trump, because Europe let itself
- 13:47Speaker 1: get so disgracefully weak that it cannot defend Ukraine without
- 13:53Speaker 1: the US. So ridicule Trump for demanding such flattery, but
- 13:58Speaker 1: shame on Europe for being so weak that its leaders
- 14:02Speaker 1: now must crawl, not stand. Oh this, there's something that's
- 14:11Speaker 1: not turning out that well. The Mbdens of Government today
- 14:14Speaker 1: kicked off its three day economic roundtable of twenty three
- 14:18Speaker 1: hand picked people from business, the unions and elsewhere to
- 14:24Speaker 1: tell the government how to fix our weak economy and
- 14:26Speaker 1: huge government depth. The government short us to know how.
- 14:30Speaker 7: I would be shocked if everyone in this room agreed
- 14:34Speaker 7: with each other.
- 14:35Speaker 4: In fact, it would be we might as well not
- 14:39Speaker 4: have it if that was the case, because then you
- 14:41Speaker 4: wouldn't by definition, have a contest of ideas.
- 14:45Speaker 1: This is an ambitious group, this is an ambitious government,
- 14:50Speaker 1: and we have an ambitious agenda before us. Our global
- 14:54Speaker 1: uncertainty surrounds us, big economic challenges confront us, and our
- 14:58Speaker 1: collective ambition needs to meet this moment. But then the
- 15:03Speaker 1: government took the phones off the hand picked delegates throughout
- 15:08Speaker 1: the journalists, killed the camera and close the doors because
- 15:12Speaker 1: these ideas, well, I guess they must be so dangerous
- 15:16Speaker 1: that you must not get to hear the debate. Perhaps
- 15:19Speaker 1: no wonder, because it turns out from the Australian newspaper
- 15:22Speaker 1: that union leaders hid jacked the first day by demanding
- 15:25Speaker 1: get another new tax on business, this times to supposedly
- 15:28Speaker 1: pay for training workers. This was meant to be a
- 15:31Speaker 1: productivity summit so that we finally get business humming. No wonder.
- 15:35Speaker 1: Business delegates were steaming at that part of the language.
- 15:38Speaker 1: But in US Willock's, head of the Strand Industry Group,
- 15:41Speaker 1: called the union idea a croc of shit? Where were
- 15:46Speaker 1: the cameras?
- 15:47Speaker 4: It?
- 15:47Speaker 1: That sounds like one summit worth watching. But at least
- 15:50Speaker 1: this time it seems business is getting its message heard,
- 15:54Speaker 1: a critical message, that investors are now giving us a miss.
- 15:58Speaker 3: Here as Wilocks again, capital is mobile and I think
- 16:02Speaker 3: the key message that is emerging from the discussion on
- 16:05Speaker 3: all the three subject matters that have come up so
- 16:08Speaker 3: far is that.
- 16:08Speaker 12: We need to think about speed, we need to think
- 16:11Speaker 12: about simplicity, and we need to think about streamlining. We're
- 16:14Speaker 12: too complex, too costly, to cumbersome and I think that's
- 16:18Speaker 12: recognized and it's of the universal lament within the room
- 16:23Speaker 12: is that we're too slow to do things. It takes
- 16:25Speaker 12: a long time to get regulatory approvals. Capital gets tied up.
- 16:29Speaker 3: For years waiting for approvals and we've.
- 16:31Speaker 12: Got to be better at it.
- 16:33Speaker 1: Join Me is a regular Tuesday commentator National Center about
- 16:36Speaker 1: Canavan the form of resources Minister Matt, what is the
- 16:40Speaker 1: big secret here? I mean, the first time the government
- 16:43Speaker 1: called a jobs and whatever summit like this is three
- 16:47Speaker 1: years ago. It let cameras into the room. Now they're
- 16:50Speaker 1: not why.
- 16:54Speaker 10: Look, you'd have to ask the government that, Andrew, but
- 16:56Speaker 10: I think it probably has something to do with the
- 16:58Speaker 10: fact that the government doesn't really have a place to
- 17:00Speaker 10: tackle the major economic challenges facing Australia. I mean, if
- 17:04Speaker 10: you're going to have a Productivity Roundtable. And you're serious
- 17:07Speaker 10: about trying to improve such an important metric of our
- 17:10Speaker 10: economic performance, you would first look at, well, what parts
- 17:14Speaker 10: of our economy have had anemic or negative productivity growth
- 17:19Speaker 10: in recent years. Well over the last twenty years, there's
- 17:21Speaker 10: just two sectors of the economy that have had negative
- 17:25Speaker 10: growth in labor productivity. One of those is mining and
- 17:29Speaker 10: the other is electricity and gas. The Government has not
- 17:32Speaker 10: even invited the Minerals Council to these discussions, and in
- 17:37Speaker 10: the papers prepared for the conference there was no mention
- 17:40Speaker 10: of energy prices. The government used to, of course infamously
- 17:44Speaker 10: promise that they would cut your power bills by two
- 17:47Speaker 10: hundred and seventy five dollars, but clearly now the government
- 17:49Speaker 10: has waived the white flag on our energy competitiveness, and
- 17:53Speaker 10: to my mind, that's not good enough. I don't think
- 17:56Speaker 10: we should give up on Australian manufacturing. I don't think
- 17:58Speaker 10: we should give up at trying to improve Australia's productivity performance.
- 18:02Speaker 10: But as I say, if you are not serious about
- 18:05Speaker 10: putting downward pressure on Australis electricity prices, you have no
- 18:09Speaker 10: hope of lifting our anemic productivity performance.
- 18:14Speaker 1: Well you are going to be holding your own Productivity roundtable.
- 18:17Speaker 1: I don't mean the one you put up today on
- 18:19Speaker 1: the Parliamentary lawn, but one tomorrow with former Productivity Commissioner
- 18:25Speaker 1: chair Gary Banks. Our own ross screen was going to
- 18:29Speaker 1: host a couple of sessions. It'll be broadcasts on Sky
- 18:32Speaker 1: News Extra the skynews dot com dot Au from about
- 18:36Speaker 1: just before ten o'clock. But the difference is, for one,
- 18:41Speaker 1: you're going to talk about some of these topics you mentioned.
- 18:44Speaker 1: Yours will be open to the public. Why are you
- 18:46Speaker 1: doing this?
- 18:49Speaker 10: Because I don't know how the government's done it. Andrew
- 18:52Speaker 10: the Cabinet room that they're holding their conference. It is
- 18:54Speaker 10: relatively small. It's not much bigger than this studio, I mean,
- 18:57Speaker 10: but they managed to squeeze a lot of elephants in there.
- 19:00Speaker 10: There's a lot of elephants in that room that they're
- 19:01Speaker 10: refusing to discuss. And tomorrow at the Productivity Roundtable, I've
- 19:06Speaker 10: helped organizer and that s guys is broadcasting, we won't
- 19:10Speaker 10: have any elephants. We'll be willing to call out issues
- 19:12Speaker 10: like energy prices, industrial relations, the lack of serious and
- 19:19Speaker 10: frank advice that's given by economic agencies to the government.
- 19:23Speaker 10: There'll only be one rule really in this productivity roundtable,
- 19:27Speaker 10: and that is that I don't want any corporate go dobbledygoog.
- 19:29Speaker 10: I don't want any bureaucratese that tries to hide the
- 19:34Speaker 10: real suffering that many Australians are feeling right now, with
- 19:37Speaker 10: their power bills going up, with grocery bills going up.
- 19:39Speaker 10: That should be our focus because plainly our economic performance
- 19:42Speaker 10: has not been good enough. And the only way we'll
- 19:44Speaker 10: fix that is if we speak plainly to each other.
- 19:47Speaker 10: So I know people like Gary Banks and David Pearl,
- 19:50Speaker 10: former Assistant Treasury Secretary Henry ergas well respected economists that
- 19:54Speaker 10: are coming along, they will speak painly. They don't mind
- 19:58Speaker 10: which feathers they ruffle. And as you pointed out, I'm
- 20:01Speaker 10: happy for these discussions to be open, to be public,
- 20:04Speaker 10: and to be transparent. I do wonder, as you do too,
- 20:07Speaker 10: why the government can't be open and public and transparent
- 20:10Speaker 10: with the Australian people.
- 20:12Speaker 1: Oh you mentioned the mining industry being frozen out. I'll
- 20:16Speaker 1: tell you what. Six or seven years ago there were
- 20:20Speaker 1: massive protests against the planner Darny Coleman in Queensland. Labor
- 20:24Speaker 1: then was really equivocal about the whole project. The approjects,
- 20:28Speaker 1: the protests were quite fashionable. Former Green's leader Bob Brown
- 20:31Speaker 1: even led a famous convoy against the leftist economists and
- 20:34Speaker 1: politicians claimed oh, this mine's going to be a stranded
- 20:37Speaker 1: asset producing Cole. No one wanted us, who switched to renewables, etc.
- 20:41Speaker 1: The United Nations boss three years ago was still saying, oh,
- 20:44Speaker 1: no Cole has finished here is it's.
- 20:47Speaker 6: A stupid investment leading to billions in stranded assets.
- 20:52Speaker 1: M canavan, what's the news today with the Darnie, Well,
- 20:57Speaker 1: they're announcing a big expansion.
- 20:58Speaker 10: Thank god we have a government in Queensland that's willing
- 21:01Speaker 10: to support the mining industry, willing to attract jobs and investment.
- 21:05Speaker 10: And the Danni's announced today that they're going to invest
- 21:07Speaker 10: five hundred million dollars more into their Carmichael mine, which
- 21:11Speaker 10: is up and running despite the efforts of Bob Brown,
- 21:14Speaker 10: and that will create another six hundred jobs. So it's
- 21:18Speaker 10: some rare good news in a week that's been a
- 21:20Speaker 10: bit negative for good news, with earnings downgrades, three thousand
- 21:23Speaker 10: jobs lost at CSL, blue Scope Steel, warning about our
- 21:26Speaker 10: energy crisis. There's some good news here because there is
- 21:30Speaker 10: enormous appetite for coal in the region. I mean that
- 21:33Speaker 10: clip you just played as absolutely absurd. I mean, in
- 21:36Speaker 10: the last three years, ironically, since that India itself said
- 21:40Speaker 10: that it would target met zero emissions, India has increased
- 21:43Speaker 10: its coal mining an annual coal mining output by two
- 21:45Speaker 10: hundred and seventy three million tons a year. The Danne
- 21:48Speaker 10: Carmichael mine started as a ten million ton and a mine,
- 21:52Speaker 10: so India sorry, has opened up the equivalent of twenty
- 21:55Speaker 10: seven a Danni's in the last three years. Now this
- 21:59Speaker 10: expansion will give us one and a half of those Adanis,
- 22:02Speaker 10: which is good news, but it just shows how ludicrous
- 22:06Speaker 10: it is for us to be self flagellating our own workers,
- 22:11Speaker 10: our own families with high power prices, denying them access
- 22:14Speaker 10: to resources like this great Australian coal while the rest
- 22:19Speaker 10: of the world just mines coal and drills for oil
- 22:22Speaker 10: and gas with gay abandon.
- 22:25Speaker 1: Well, let me balance your good news with this BHP
- 22:29Speaker 1: though today he said it is now considering closing some
- 22:32Speaker 1: or selling some of his own coal mines in Queensland
- 22:35Speaker 1: because the state government there is too greedy. The super
- 22:37Speaker 1: royalties grab is so high. The BHP says the effective
- 22:41Speaker 1: tax and its coal mines in Queensland is now sixty
- 22:45Speaker 1: seven percent, making some of them uneconomic. I hope that
- 22:48Speaker 1: you'll be discussing things like that at your summer tomorrow,
- 22:51Speaker 1: Matt Canavan. Good luck with that. Thank you so much.
- 22:56Speaker 1: After the break pulling hands on the big surge of
- 22:59Speaker 1: support for her party in the polls. This is a
- 23:02Speaker 1: sign that Conservatives are giving up on the Liberals again.
- 23:06Speaker 1: Plus bad news though she's just said one of her
- 23:09Speaker 1: senators quit. Something interesting is going on with the right
- 23:16Speaker 1: of politics. Yesterday's polls News Poll and Resolve both showed
- 23:20Speaker 1: the Coalition in huge trouble, less popular than it was
- 23:22Speaker 1: even at the election, which was a disaster, but the
- 23:27Speaker 1: more conservative One Nation It's primary vote in News poll
- 23:32Speaker 1: was way up nine percent. That's the higher since conservative
- 23:35Speaker 1: voters got sick of the fake Liberals under Prime Minister
- 23:39Speaker 1: Malcolm Turnbull. Remember that joined me is One Nation leader
- 23:43Speaker 1: paul in handsOn, Pauline, great to see you again. How
- 23:46Speaker 1: do you explain this surge and support right now? Is
- 23:50Speaker 1: it the sign the Conservatives are again sick of the Liberals?
- 23:57Speaker 13: Look, I believe they are. They haven't put a cross policies,
- 24:00Speaker 13: especially leading into the election. You know, we address issues
- 24:04Speaker 13: about cutting ninety billion out of the budget every year
- 24:06Speaker 13: to put more money in the pockets of Australians. We
- 24:09Speaker 13: were addressing the taxation, looking after pensions, self under retirees,
- 24:13Speaker 13: middle income splitting in the households. We've addressed many issues
- 24:17Speaker 13: to Andrew. I've raised over the years period of time
- 24:21Speaker 13: about multiculturalism, immigration, COVID nineteen, the voice, all these issues
- 24:27Speaker 13: in industries, manufacturing, the farming sector, the daring industry, the
- 24:32Speaker 13: liveship expert everything that I've done, I've actually led the
- 24:35Speaker 13: way with my policies.
- 24:36Speaker 14: And my views.
- 24:37Speaker 13: I'm a know, a conviction politician. The Liberals always seem
- 24:42Speaker 13: to follow in my wake. But the people there are
- 24:45Speaker 13: starting to wake up. They're fed up with the major
- 24:47Speaker 13: political parties. That's by thirty five percent of the people
- 24:50Speaker 13: didn't vote for the major political parties.
- 24:52Speaker 14: I'll tell you.
- 24:53Speaker 13: Something, Andrew. You know Western at nine percent, which is
- 24:56Speaker 13: up fifty percent from the election. We've won eleven seats
- 25:00Speaker 13: in the nine years that I have been here back
- 25:02Speaker 13: in Parliament since twenty sixteen. We've actually won eleven seats
- 25:07Speaker 13: in state and federal politics and a couple of council
- 25:09Speaker 13: elections on top of that as well. We now have
- 25:12Speaker 13: the same number of senators is what the national parties have.
- 25:15Speaker 13: National Party has and they've been around for what fifty
- 25:18Speaker 13: or sixty years. I'm going to drive this party, Andrew,
- 25:22Speaker 13: because one day I want one nation to take government.
- 25:26Speaker 13: I'm fed up the major political parties. I'm fed up
- 25:28Speaker 13: where this country is, the moral decline, the loss of
- 25:32Speaker 13: our standard of living, the policies that they are doing.
- 25:35Speaker 13: There is no conviction politicians, no one that's patriotic to
- 25:38Speaker 13: this country and driving the issues that I see that
- 25:41Speaker 13: future generations are going to be paying back a debt
- 25:43Speaker 13: and will be living in third walk conditions.
- 25:49Speaker 1: Well, I think the takeout here the conviction politician thing.
- 25:52Speaker 1: I think no one could say that about the Liberals
- 25:54Speaker 1: at all at the moment. I mean, they seem totally
- 25:57Speaker 1: adrift now. Harsh critics. Harsh critics have said that Susan Lee,
- 26:02Speaker 1: the new leader, is Malcolm Turnbull in his skirt. Maybe
- 26:06Speaker 1: that's going too far. I don't know, how do you
- 26:09Speaker 1: get on with her? How are you rating her leadership
- 26:11Speaker 1: so far?
- 26:14Speaker 13: I don't look Susan's a nice woman by all means,
- 26:18Speaker 13: but she's not a conservative to me, she's too far
- 26:21Speaker 13: on the left. I actually had dinner with her and
- 26:23Speaker 13: I actually said to her face, I said, sorry, Susan,
- 26:26Speaker 13: you won't last the distance. You won't be there at
- 26:29Speaker 13: the next election. And I said, you might prove me wrong.
- 26:32Speaker 13: She said directly to me, Well, then I'll prove you wrong.
- 26:37Speaker 13: I don't believe she will be there for the long term,
- 26:40Speaker 13: and especially she won't be as leader of the Conservative Party.
- 26:44Speaker 13: Of the Liberals leading into the next election, I see
- 26:48Speaker 13: a lot of the Liberals, there are moderates.
- 26:52Speaker 14: Andrew when I can put up a bill.
- 26:53Speaker 13: That I want to send an inquiry into gender dysphoria
- 26:57Speaker 13: and what is happening with these puberty blockers and kids
- 27:00Speaker 13: having these operations and bits and pieces cut off. Do
- 27:03Speaker 13: you know that they were kicking and screaming in the beginning,
- 27:07Speaker 13: not even devote, They wouldn't even support it. They all
- 27:09Speaker 13: left the chamber. That must necessary for the parents to
- 27:13Speaker 13: have their say what was happening to their children. They
- 27:15Speaker 13: can't inface that they flat out facing the fact of
- 27:18Speaker 13: defending the female sector and this transgender rubbish that's going
- 27:22Speaker 13: on at the moment, or kids in the educational system,
- 27:25Speaker 13: told you can choose.
- 27:26Speaker 14: Whether you want to be a boy or a girl.
- 27:28Speaker 13: How can you stand back and see this going on
- 27:31Speaker 13: and not speak up against it?
- 27:34Speaker 1: Pauline Hanson, you also got bad news today. Yesterday the
- 27:39Speaker 1: polls were great. But the bad news is that, all right,
- 27:42Speaker 1: you had a great result of the last election. You
- 27:44Speaker 1: now have four senators, which is incredible achievement from given
- 27:49Speaker 1: the criticism you had to take and all that. But
- 27:52Speaker 1: one of them is former hostage negotiated and sold your
- 27:54Speaker 1: Warwick status now told you has had to quit for
- 27:58Speaker 1: health reasons. That's got to just appoint you because he
- 28:00Speaker 1: seemed to good get for you. What is the problem.
- 28:04Speaker 1: Is it a real health issue or has he had
- 28:07Speaker 1: second thoughts about politics?
- 28:11Speaker 13: No, definitely issue. It is a health issue. Andrew I
- 28:14Speaker 13: was devastated when he phoned and told me that he
- 28:16Speaker 13: had to step down from the position as senator. And
- 28:21Speaker 13: because with his background in defense and he's looking forward
- 28:24Speaker 13: to going to Senate vestments questioning the department plus the
- 28:27Speaker 13: Minister and his knowledge and experience in this area.
- 28:30Speaker 14: I feel for.
- 28:33Speaker 13: Warwick and his wife I believe is not in very
- 28:36Speaker 13: good health either. So you know, it's he's upset having
- 28:40Speaker 13: to step aside, but we still hold the seat, so
- 28:44Speaker 13: I will be replacing him with another One Nation member
- 28:46Speaker 13: of Parliament, so we still hold the seat, Andrew. But
- 28:49Speaker 13: to Warwick, I do wish him all the best in
- 28:50Speaker 13: the future with his health and I hope his condition.
- 28:54Speaker 13: That's not for me to tell you what his health
- 28:56Speaker 13: issues are. That's a personal matter that's up to Warwick.
- 29:00Speaker 13: Was definitely health issues.
- 29:04Speaker 1: Yes, well, if it's as serious as I have heard
- 29:07Speaker 1: via via someone else, then I do wish him the best.
- 29:10Speaker 1: And you know it's trouble you sad for him, sad
- 29:15Speaker 1: for you, and she'll see you come up with Paulin Hanson,
- 29:18Speaker 1: thank you so much indeed for your time after the
- 29:22Speaker 1: break Fear amongers, I mean absolutely shocking clips of how
- 29:27Speaker 1: green groups are, University and the ABC are terrifying school
- 29:31Speaker 1: children with I think the collusion of many many teachers.
- 29:35Speaker 1: But do parents even know what's going on? I played
- 29:42Speaker 1: earlier in the show some of the footage from a
- 29:44Speaker 1: few years ago protests against the Andani Cole project. You
- 29:48Speaker 1: might have noticed how many of them were so young,
- 29:52Speaker 1: and you might wonder who is brainwashing them to be
- 29:56Speaker 1: so hostile to colon gas and so convinced that the
- 30:00Speaker 1: world is doomed unless we get rid of them. Well,
- 30:03Speaker 1: want to know more, I mean, you just look at
- 30:05Speaker 1: our schools. For one. There is an organization I've mentioned
- 30:10Speaker 1: on the show before. It's called cool dot Org that
- 30:13Speaker 1: it claims has now got teachers to use the screen
- 30:16Speaker 1: propaganda to teach and astonishing two and a half million
- 30:20Speaker 1: school children here every year, two and a half million.
- 30:24Speaker 1: It reckons. It's now more than ninety percent of schools.
- 30:28Speaker 1: And now it's pushing a new film called Future Counsel.
- 30:33Speaker 1: Now it's already got the lessons in class material ready
- 30:36Speaker 1: to go. This is part of the trailer of this film,
- 30:40Speaker 1: which is in which children are taken, children made absolutely
- 30:46Speaker 1: terrified by global warming, takes them around to confront executives
- 30:52Speaker 1: who are stupid enough to be nice and talk to them.
- 30:55Speaker 15: My name is James, and I'm a really, really, really
- 30:58Speaker 15: big big fan of nature, and so it seems and
- 31:05Speaker 15: millions of children around the world.
- 31:07Speaker 6: So I invited eight of them on a wild adventure
- 31:10Speaker 6: to find solutions to our biggest environmental challenges.
- 31:13Speaker 15: This world is taking their goal.
- 31:16Speaker 3: There is so much pressure.
- 31:18Speaker 11: It's a lot for younger people.
- 31:20Speaker 10: I'm really really scared there won't be a future.
- 31:24Speaker 2: The mission of our yellow bus was now crystal clear.
- 31:27Speaker 15: They love the thought of challenging powerful companies to value
- 31:30Speaker 15: nature a.
- 31:31Speaker 6: Lot of us.
- 31:31Speaker 14: So you're about to hold your first future council.
- 31:34Speaker 1: Why did you give me money to fossil fueld companies?
- 31:36Speaker 1: It's a very good question, and the children have learned
- 31:40Speaker 1: from Gritter Thunberg how to be insufferably rude to company bosses.
- 31:45Speaker 1: That you can use some of the signature. How dare
- 31:48Speaker 1: you move? There's very limited impact we can.
- 31:52Speaker 13: Have just on ourbum You're the third biggest plutes on
- 31:55Speaker 13: the planet.
- 31:56Speaker 14: You're not a powerful leader. You are a disgrace.
- 32:02Speaker 1: Joining me is Tony Thomas, author, former business editor, and
- 32:05Speaker 1: our contributive for Quadrant Online. He's been tracking for years
- 32:08Speaker 1: what call dot org is pushing in our classrooms. Tony,
- 32:12Speaker 1: great to see you again. Before we get to this
- 32:14Speaker 1: latest film, pushbo cool dot org. Tell us about this organization.
- 32:18Speaker 1: Who funds it? How does it get into so many schools?
- 32:21Speaker 7: Well, I treated like a parallel education universe in schools.
- 32:27Speaker 7: The thing is that the teachers are all terribly hard
- 32:29Speaker 7: pressed for time, and many or most are teaching outside
- 32:33Speaker 7: their subject expertise. So Cool comes in and says, we
- 32:37Speaker 7: can give you predigested lessons online, free complete kits of workbooks, plans, scripts,
- 32:46Speaker 7: factual material, and every one of our lessons will probably
- 32:50Speaker 7: save you three hours of teaching time. So the teacher
- 32:53Speaker 7: simply can't get enough of it. Hundreds of thousands of
- 32:56Speaker 7: teachers have been using these Cool lessons, and what's more,
- 33:01Speaker 7: they're all mapped to the Sustainability Priority, which was a
- 33:06Speaker 7: sneaky way to get the schools officially green. And the
- 33:13Speaker 7: deal was founded by Jason Kimberly about twenty years ago
- 33:17Speaker 7: from the Just Jenes family, which was worth about sixty
- 33:20Speaker 7: million a time. And it runs on a tiny little
- 33:24Speaker 7: budget of three million dollars with twenty staff who commission
- 33:29Speaker 7: expert curriculum and lesson writers to provide these online lessons.
- 33:36Speaker 7: And just this year Mike canon Brooks is worth thirty
- 33:40Speaker 7: billion dollars nevermind three million, has joined them and is
- 33:45Speaker 7: pushing his lessons on how to crush climate misinformation. And
- 33:52Speaker 7: so in the case of this Gamo film, it's likely
- 33:58Speaker 7: to have a huge impact on schools millions of kids,
- 34:02Speaker 7: probably because the previous one got to one point five
- 34:05Speaker 7: million kids through something like thirty five different lessons from
- 34:10Speaker 7: cool in the school.
- 34:14Speaker 1: Oh, for goodness sake, well to this film then? What
- 34:18Speaker 1: struck me about it? One of the things is how
- 34:21Speaker 1: it exploits children have been scared witless by someone about
- 34:26Speaker 1: global warming. So you get scenes like this from the film,
- 34:30Speaker 1: have looked.
- 34:31Speaker 2: Our inaction is stealing their present?
- 34:36Speaker 1: Now now, other children in the film so things like
- 34:39Speaker 1: I just hear nothing else like complete death, or I
- 34:43Speaker 1: live near a village in England that by twenty fifty
- 34:47Speaker 1: is due to be completely flooded apparently by rising seas,
- 34:51Speaker 1: which is not true. But scaring children like that, that's
- 34:55Speaker 1: really close to child abuse, isn't it.
- 34:58Speaker 7: Sure? Sure singer called Ruby who's only fourteen, and the
- 35:04Speaker 7: sort of lyrics that she sings is, how can you
- 35:06Speaker 7: tell me to keep on breathing, tell me to keep
- 35:10Speaker 7: believing while my home is being torn apart?
- 35:14Speaker 1: Now?
- 35:14Speaker 7: Why should a twelve year old or a fourteen year
- 35:17Speaker 7: old writing songs write songs like that? And then there's
- 35:22Speaker 7: this twenty four year old activist called Clover Hogan who
- 35:26Speaker 7: tells these kids that their ego anxiety is actually healthy
- 35:30Speaker 7: and this intense fearful emotions are just natural. But the kids,
- 35:35Speaker 7: of course get quite tearful over this.
- 35:40Speaker 1: Imagine being eleven years old and thinking the world is
- 35:44Speaker 1: ending and it is up to you, little you to
- 35:47Speaker 1: try and save it. I mean, what a burden, What
- 35:50Speaker 1: a fear, What a burden. Now it's not just this
- 35:53Speaker 1: cool dot org that's poised in the minds of vulnerable
- 35:56Speaker 1: school children, Tony, you've picked up things like Melbourne is
- 36:00Speaker 1: also trying to frighten them with its own videos for
- 36:03Speaker 1: children like this one.
- 36:05Speaker 14: We do need to stop digging up fossil fuels.
- 36:09Speaker 6: One way we continue to dig up and use fossil
- 36:11Speaker 6: fuels is a pretty horrible future to be in.
- 36:14Speaker 14: It's way too hot. There's lots of floods and bushfires.
- 36:18Speaker 1: Now that's full because even the United Nations into government
- 36:21Speaker 1: depend on climate changes, it has a little confidence in
- 36:23Speaker 1: any link between global warming and floods. The ABC, naturally
- 36:27Speaker 1: is also pumping out stairs aimed at children, this though,
- 36:30Speaker 1: using author Tim Winton to moan about the ningaloo reef doom, doom,
- 36:34Speaker 1: doom and spreading terror. Listen to this.
- 36:38Speaker 2: We're in a climate emergency and this is where most
- 36:42Speaker 2: of Australia's dangerous carbon pollution stems from these flames are
- 36:47Speaker 2: burning the past and cooking our future. The choice before
- 36:52Speaker 2: us could not be any clearer. It's life or death
- 36:58Speaker 2: for Ningaloo and for every while place in every human community.
- 37:04Speaker 1: Honestly, that is so insane, but it's poured straight into
- 37:08Speaker 1: the ears of children.
- 37:09Speaker 7: Tony, Oh well, I looked at a less than I
- 37:12Speaker 7: had just last May and guess what the headline was?
- 37:15Speaker 7: Climate change, pests and disease threatened to leave us in
- 37:20Speaker 7: a world without chocolate.
- 37:27Speaker 1: How can you scare children any more than that? I
- 37:29Speaker 1: mean really, and suddenly there were no Smarties. Oh no, seriously, honestly,
- 37:35Speaker 1: it's so reckless, it's so irresponsible. Thank you so much,
- 37:39Speaker 1: Tony Thoms for learning us to this. And if people
- 37:42Speaker 1: want to know more about this particular organization, may advise
- 37:47Speaker 1: them to look up Quadrant online. And you're right at
- 37:50Speaker 1: the top of the page with this latest story about
- 37:53Speaker 1: what they've been up to, Tony Thomas. Thanks for your time. Honestly,
- 37:58Speaker 1: after the break, now, a shocking tax by greedy politicians
- 38:02Speaker 1: are creating a one billion dollar gangster and costing the
- 38:06Speaker 1: rest of us a fortune. You know, this should really
- 38:13Speaker 1: be one tax that the government's Economic Roundtable should be
- 38:16Speaker 1: discussing that. It's not just inefficient, it is lethally dangerous,
- 38:22Speaker 1: appallingly stupid. Look at this crook, cousin Hamid. He's now
- 38:29Speaker 1: fled overseas. Police and criminologists reportedly now warned he could
- 38:33Speaker 1: become a billionaire. A billionaire, and that's because of a
- 38:37Speaker 1: federal tax, the excise on tobacco. You see, greedy politicians
- 38:43Speaker 1: have just ramped up this tax to go all the smokers.
- 38:46Speaker 1: They've got to spoke, we'll clean up. They've ramped it
- 38:50Speaker 1: up to twenty eight dollars a pack, driving the average
- 38:53Speaker 1: costs of a pack to nearly pack it to nearly
- 38:56Speaker 1: forty dollars. Who can afford that? If you're poor in
- 39:01Speaker 1: the working class, who can afford that? Now, this ramping
- 39:06Speaker 1: up of this tax isn't just backfiring on the federal
- 39:08Speaker 1: government financially. I mean, just have a look how their
- 39:12Speaker 1: take has fallen through the floor. Some estimates around nine
- 39:16Speaker 1: billion dollars a year. They've been losing massive loss for
- 39:19Speaker 1: a simple reason. It's not just you know, oh, it's
- 39:22Speaker 1: not because people have stopped smoking. That'd be good. No,
- 39:25Speaker 1: they are instead buying cheap illegal tobacco instead under the
- 39:31Speaker 1: counter the tobacco from crooks like Hamid, and that has
- 39:35Speaker 1: sparked a massive underworld war. Crooks are burning each other
- 39:39Speaker 1: outlets tobacco shops, more than two hundred had burned so
- 39:43Speaker 1: far in the Eastern States, and warnings just last week
- 39:46Speaker 1: from Western Australia that the war has come to them
- 39:49Speaker 1: as well. This is a tax that started a gain war,
- 39:55Speaker 1: and because it's been ramped up so high, it's actually
- 39:58Speaker 1: cost the government billion. I'm joined by the host of
- 40:03Speaker 1: the late debate, Jameson Furson that's here on Sky ten
- 40:06Speaker 1: and Skony's host Anika did Georgio. Look, I have to say, Danika,
- 40:13Speaker 1: isn't this a perfect example of government greed and stupidity
- 40:18Speaker 1: backfiring on it, and still the Abdize government's refusing to
- 40:21Speaker 1: cut the exercise to stop the crime and actually get
- 40:23Speaker 1: more money, but making legal cigarettes affordable again in comparison,
- 40:29Speaker 1: I mean, it.
- 40:30Speaker 14: Just doesn't make any sense to Andrew and to me.
- 40:32Speaker 16: What's actually occurred because of this is an almost a
- 40:35Speaker 16: modern day prohibition where you have a situation where smokers
- 40:39Speaker 16: are now funding the Lamborghinis, and funding the mansions, and
- 40:43Speaker 16: funding the rich and extravagant lives of all of these criminals.
- 40:46Speaker 14: It is nothing more than.
- 40:48Speaker 16: Greed under the guise of health and under the guise
- 40:51Speaker 16: of we know what is good for you, which is
- 40:54Speaker 16: a total lode of rubbish. Now, look, obviously the impacts
- 40:56Speaker 16: of cigarettes cannot be underestimated, but this is a hash grab,
- 41:00Speaker 16: especially when you've got people literally running out robbing local
- 41:05Speaker 16: stores just to try and get their hands on cigarettes. Now,
- 41:09Speaker 16: Charmers can say as much as he wants, no, we're
- 41:11Speaker 16: not going.
- 41:11Speaker 14: To cut this excise. No, it's all about health.
- 41:14Speaker 16: The reality is is that you're going to smoke, You're
- 41:17Speaker 16: going to smoke.
- 41:17Speaker 14: If you're going to quit, you're going to quit.
- 41:19Speaker 16: But we've got politicians and activists with this holier than
- 41:21Speaker 16: our mentality and as a result, we are over regulated.
- 41:25Speaker 16: Now this week we've got this round table whatever they're
- 41:28Speaker 16: calling it, the economic the productivity round table.
- 41:31Speaker 14: Charmers has to look at it because this is a.
- 41:33Speaker 16: Way to actually rain in the budget, which has blown
- 41:36Speaker 16: out thanks to record government spending, but at the same
- 41:39Speaker 16: time also stem the illegal trade. I cannot believe Andrew
- 41:44Speaker 16: that Chalmers is digging his heels in on this. It is,
- 41:48Speaker 16: as you said, extremely dangerous.
- 41:51Speaker 1: Yeah, charmers thinks are just more enforcements, so they're spending
- 41:55Speaker 1: more money in enforcement. It's wonderful. Governor's creed the problem.
- 41:58Speaker 1: Governor's spend money trying to fix the problem, and spence spen,
- 42:01Speaker 1: spencest spend James. Isn't it ironic that a health thatat's
- 42:06Speaker 1: going to have such unhealthy outcomes so that people actually
- 42:09Speaker 1: burning shops instead, and in some cases I think people's
- 42:15Speaker 1: lives have been put in grave danger.
- 42:17Speaker 9: Yeah, well, Andrew, first of all, I think we need
- 42:19Speaker 9: to give a big shout out to all the people
- 42:21Speaker 9: who do buy legal cigarettes. The amount of tax they're paying,
- 42:24Speaker 9: we owe them all a debt of gratitude they're funding
- 42:27Speaker 9: the country with the amount they're being hit up by
- 42:30Speaker 9: the charmers government.
- 42:31Speaker 14: But you're quite right.
- 42:32Speaker 9: The original idea was supposedly to discourage people from smoking
- 42:37Speaker 9: cigarettes because it's bad for their health or the unintended
- 42:40Speaker 9: consequence is now we've got a much bigger problem that.
- 42:43Speaker 9: The interesting thing here is the reluctance of politicians to
- 42:46Speaker 9: simply admit when they're wrong and be willing to change course.
- 42:50Speaker 9: It's nothing but bloody stubbornness on behalf of the Albanezy
- 42:54Speaker 9: government that they won't recognize as an obvious problem. There's
- 42:56Speaker 9: an equally obvious solution, so make thee and yet they
- 43:00Speaker 9: stubbornly resist change and stay on a course which blind
- 43:04Speaker 9: FREDI can see is far more dangerous than the original
- 43:08Speaker 9: problem they were trying to address. It's just quite depressing
- 43:12Speaker 9: when solutions are so apparent and yet politicians refuse to
- 43:16Speaker 9: take them.
- 43:19Speaker 1: And now to the government's diplomatic war with Israel, I
- 43:21Speaker 1: mean find it absolutely incredible that the promise of Israel
- 43:25Speaker 1: has now driven to call our Prime minister as stupid
- 43:30Speaker 1: and someone who's you know, turned this back on Jews
- 43:36Speaker 1: in Israel and here, I mean, that's just the incredible
- 43:40Speaker 1: and banning and what's really stupid is this latest move
- 43:44Speaker 1: banning an Israeli politician after a Home Affairs Department document
- 43:49Speaker 1: reportedly complained in part that him calling for the elimination
- 43:53Speaker 1: of hamas and terroristcript would offend some Australian Sea Danika,
- 43:57Speaker 1: I mean, if some Australians had defended by that, we
- 44:01Speaker 1: have got to bigger problem. And it isn't an Israeli politician.
- 44:07Speaker 16: No, exactly. And let's be honest. The Australians that we're
- 44:09Speaker 16: talking about here, they're not your dinky die I love
- 44:12Speaker 16: my country Australians. We are talking about a minority of
- 44:15Speaker 16: people who have probably come to this country, been welcomed
- 44:18Speaker 16: here with open arms from countries that are incompatible with
- 44:21Speaker 16: our values, incompatible with Western democracies.
- 44:24Speaker 14: And these are the.
- 44:24Speaker 16: People who hate our country, hate our values, and have
- 44:27Speaker 16: no interest in assimilating. However, they make up a percentage
- 44:31Speaker 16: of Labour's constituents in places like Western Sydney, for example.
- 44:35Speaker 14: So this is all political.
- 44:37Speaker 16: By Labor, and this is why we've seen Labor recognize Palestine.
- 44:41Speaker 16: This is why Tony Burke let in three thousand gardens
- 44:44Speaker 16: with little to no security checks because it works well
- 44:47Speaker 16: for the government. But at the same time our values
- 44:50Speaker 16: are being eroded. So it's all well and good for
- 44:53Speaker 16: them to say, we're not going to let in this
- 44:54Speaker 16: politician who wants to destroy Hamas. But it's okay that
- 44:58Speaker 16: we've got flags of Hamas and flags of terrorist groups
- 45:01Speaker 16: being waved so brazenly on one of our icons of Australia.
- 45:05Speaker 16: Or you know, people are out there celebrating that they're
- 45:08Speaker 16: elated by the October seven massacre.
- 45:11Speaker 14: This is all politics.
- 45:12Speaker 16: It's a boyhood fantasy of Anthony alberneasy to recognize Palestine
- 45:16Speaker 16: and labor, and they're all just disregarding our values in
- 45:19Speaker 16: the process.
- 45:20Speaker 14: It's just an absolute disgrace.
- 45:23Speaker 1: James, I have never I cannot recall. I mean, there
- 45:26Speaker 1: was French president a Manu macronder called who claimed that
- 45:30Speaker 1: Scott Morrison had lied to him. All right, there was that,
- 45:33Speaker 1: but nothing I've heard nothing as tough as this from
- 45:37Speaker 1: a leader of a supposedly friendly democracy to an Australian
- 45:42Speaker 1: Prime minister call him a weak man who's betrayed Israel
- 45:49Speaker 1: and abandoned Australia's Jews. I mean, this is really extremely
- 45:54Speaker 1: strong language. Is it deserved well?
- 45:57Speaker 9: I think the characterization of Albinezi from the now yah
- 46:00Speaker 9: who is far more accurate than the characterization from Jijingping
- 46:03Speaker 9: who called him a handsome boy. I think a moral
- 46:07Speaker 9: coward is far more accurate. I could not believe that
- 46:11Speaker 9: the Australian government wanted to keep someone out of the
- 46:14Speaker 9: country because his insistence that hamas a terrorist organization that
- 46:18Speaker 9: burned babies, filmed it on go pros to show the
- 46:22Speaker 9: world was inflammatory to suggest that we might want to
- 46:25Speaker 9: defeat these people. Effectively, they're setting a very dangerous precedent
- 46:30Speaker 9: where a very small minority of people who support terrorism
- 46:34Speaker 9: now get veto rights over who's allowed into this country.
- 46:38Speaker 9: It's an incredibly dangerous game that our government is playing.
- 46:41Speaker 9: Benjamin nettya who is right to call it out. And
- 46:44Speaker 9: you talked about a friendly country or a supposedly friendly country.
- 46:47Speaker 9: I think Israel has always been a friendly country towards Australia.
- 46:51Speaker 9: That's not changed.
- 46:52Speaker 14: What has changed.
- 46:53Speaker 9: And net Yah who has called out is we are
- 46:55Speaker 9: certainly not friendly at least our government is not towards
- 46:59Speaker 9: the state of ead Is.
- 47:02Speaker 1: I should point out the Home Affairs Department started other
- 47:05Speaker 1: things about this politician that this government banned. Apart from that,
- 47:10Speaker 1: but it is extraordinary. But the upshot was, as you say,
- 47:15Speaker 1: you know, a fear of upsetting a certain minority, and
- 47:18Speaker 1: it wouldn't just be some Muslim extremes, to be of
- 47:21Speaker 1: the Far Lift as well. But there you go in
- 47:25Speaker 1: to Nika. It is subcontracting our visa system, our immigration
- 47:31Speaker 1: policy to a very radical, aggressive minority that has been
- 47:37Speaker 1: doing things like blocking streets and blocking and trashing offices
- 47:43Speaker 1: and blocking the Sydney Harbor Bridge. I mean, this is ridiculous.
- 47:48Speaker 14: It is ridiculous, And don't forget Andrew.
- 47:50Speaker 16: Two weeks ago, a woman who openly celebrated Hamasa's slaughter
- 47:54Speaker 16: of twelve hundred Jews all over her social media was
- 47:57Speaker 16: given a visa to come into this country and entertainment visa.
- 48:01Speaker 14: Would you believe so little to no security checks.
- 48:04Speaker 16: Again, it was only canceled after the media exposed it,
- 48:07Speaker 16: after the Coalition exposed it.
- 48:10Speaker 14: But it goes to show that there are people exploiting
- 48:12Speaker 14: the system.
- 48:13Speaker 16: And we've got a situation where the Home Affairs Department
- 48:17Speaker 16: is handing out these visas to people under the guise
- 48:20Speaker 16: of what we're letting.
- 48:21Speaker 14: Them in because politically it works for us.
- 48:24Speaker 16: And again I maintain our values and our democracy is
- 48:28Speaker 16: under threat because of the types of people we're bringing in.
- 48:32Speaker 1: Well, we've a been under the threat from the politicians
- 48:37Speaker 1: for supervising this as well. Jameson Furson and Nikins Georgia,
- 48:40Speaker 1: thank you very much for your time. That's it from me.
- 48:42Speaker 1: Coming up next Sharry Markson good Night
