- 0:00Speaker 1: Late Welcome Lait.
- 0:04Speaker 2: To Bay.
- 0:07Speaker 3: Well, good evening and thanks for joining us on the
- 0:08Speaker 3: Late Debate. James Macpherson with Liz Storra and Caleb Bond
- 0:12Speaker 3: coming up the incredible story of a woman who applied
- 0:15Speaker 3: for a job in nineteen seventy six and received a
- 0:18Speaker 3: reply just this week. We'll talk about that a little later.
- 0:21Speaker 3: Plus when we look at the papers. Legal experts warn
- 0:24Speaker 3: that Labour's Misinformation Bill could result in Australian's being jailed
- 0:29Speaker 3: if they refuse to cooperate in government hearings and elsewhere.
- 0:33Speaker 3: Researchers have been awarded half a million dollars in taxpayer
- 0:37Speaker 3: money to find out whether Australia really is Girt by Sea. Honestly,
- 0:43Speaker 3: you could not make that up. It's in the papers tomorrow.
- 0:46Speaker 3: We'll get to it a bit later.
- 0:47Speaker 4: You know.
- 0:48Speaker 3: We're sport for choice on this show when it comes
- 0:51Speaker 3: to examples of government waste, and this one is an
- 0:54Speaker 3: absolute beauty. The South Australian government spent three hundred and
- 0:58Speaker 3: sixty thousand dollars moving an agency from one department to another,
- 1:03Speaker 3: only to move it right back again just two years later.
- 1:07Speaker 3: Skills South Australia, which facilitates vocational training. Was part of
- 1:11Speaker 3: the Department of Industry, Innovation and Science, but the government
- 1:16Speaker 3: decided to spend two hundred thousand dollars on consultants who
- 1:19Speaker 3: advised that it should be moved to the Department of Education,
- 1:22Speaker 3: and so they spent another one hundred and sixty thousand
- 1:24Speaker 3: dollars making the move, So that's three hundred and sixty
- 1:27Speaker 3: grand all up. But just twenty four months later they
- 1:31Speaker 3: decided doesn't really fit there, and so they moved it
- 1:34Speaker 3: straight back, because after all, it's only your money. The
- 1:39Speaker 3: opposition leader in South Australia, John Gardener, told the media
- 1:42Speaker 3: this story is like something straight out of Utopia, that
- 1:45Speaker 3: ABC show that satirizes government departments. He said it would
- 1:49Speaker 3: be funny if we weren't in the middle of the
- 1:50Speaker 3: cost of living crisis and businesses weren't suffering from skills
- 1:54Speaker 3: shortages right around our state. To have so much money
- 1:57Speaker 3: spent on shuffling departmental debt chairs around only to move
- 2:01Speaker 3: them back a year later is a very costly embarrassment
- 2:04Speaker 3: for the Premiere Lives. It's hard to imagine more ineptitude
- 2:08Speaker 3: than this. What are the bureaucrats thinking?
- 2:10Speaker 5: Seriously?
- 2:11Speaker 6: The guy who writes the show Utopia literally said, it's really.
- 2:16Speaker 5: Not that hard. The comedy rights itself.
- 2:19Speaker 6: You just pay attention to what government's doing and then
- 2:22Speaker 6: we enact it and everyone thinks it's hilariously funny, but
- 2:25Speaker 6: it really is art depicting real life when it comes
- 2:29Speaker 6: to government departments.
- 2:30Speaker 5: And we still don't know what this year's.
- 2:33Speaker 6: Move cost South Australian. So we know about the three
- 2:37Speaker 6: hundred and sixty thousand, what did this year's move cost? Well,
- 2:42Speaker 6: they're not going to let us know anytime soon, are they.
- 2:44Speaker 6: They don't want us to do the addition and find
- 2:47Speaker 6: out what a joke this is. This genuinely reminds me
- 2:50Speaker 6: of season one on Utopia where they had this massive rebrand.
- 2:54Speaker 6: It's going to be an inspiration. This is really important.
- 2:57Speaker 6: They spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on the consul
- 3:00Speaker 6: and sea fees being pitched a new logo and.
- 3:04Speaker 5: Then they're painting it up on the wall.
- 3:06Speaker 6: They're getting all their business cards, their letterheads redone and
- 3:09Speaker 6: the entire time you're watching the episode going that is
- 3:12Speaker 6: the pink Floyd symbol, the beam of light hitting a
- 3:15Speaker 6: prison resulting in a rainbow and by the end of
- 3:19Speaker 6: that episode they've realized that and had to change it
- 3:22Speaker 6: all back. I mean, this is exactly that episode.
- 3:27Speaker 4: This stuff happens all the time, right, This is just
- 3:30Speaker 4: one of the ones we've found out about. Governments do
- 3:33Speaker 4: this stuff all the time, particularly when there's a change
- 3:36Speaker 4: of government. So the Libs disappear and Laby comes in
- 3:39Speaker 4: or vice versa, right, And they move around various parts
- 3:42Speaker 4: of departments. And I'm thinking in South Australia again, when
- 3:46Speaker 4: I was there, they had the Department of Education and
- 3:50Speaker 4: Child Services that then became the Department of Education and
- 3:54Speaker 4: Child Development, so it went from decks to deck because
- 3:57Speaker 4: they move part over ere and another part over there.
- 4:00Speaker 4: That's hundreds of thousands of dollars that they spend making
- 4:03Speaker 4: new logos, they need new letterheads, all that sort of stuff.
- 4:06Speaker 4: They break up the Transport Department from the Environment. But
- 4:10Speaker 4: on and on and on. This happens every time there
- 4:12Speaker 4: is a change of government. Literally millions of dollars get
- 4:15Speaker 4: spends on this stuff, which is just about moving one
- 4:18Speaker 4: set of workers from one office to another so that
- 4:21Speaker 4: one minister has jurisdiction over them instead of another minister.
- 4:25Speaker 4: And they don't care about what it costs to do that, Like,
- 4:29Speaker 4: why can't you just leave it where it is? It
- 4:32Speaker 4: doesn't need to move. The proof here being that two
- 4:35Speaker 4: years later they moved them back from whence they can.
- 4:37Speaker 3: So you waste hundreds of thousands of dollars of taxpayer money.
- 4:40Speaker 3: And the interesting thing is consultants advised us to do this,
- 4:45Speaker 3: which provides cover so that they can waste hundreds of
- 4:48Speaker 3: thousands of taxpayer dollars and no one is ever held
- 4:51Speaker 3: accountable because consultants.
- 4:53Speaker 5: Yeah, in this case, I believe it was PwC. So
- 4:56Speaker 5: the government, the bureaucrats get.
- 4:58Speaker 6: To go, well, you know, we were just allowing the
- 5:00Speaker 6: professional advice that we squandered one hundred thousand dollars on.
- 5:04Speaker 5: So how were we supposed to know.
- 5:06Speaker 6: That this wasn't for a better and more flourishing society.
- 5:10Speaker 6: It is utterly maddening, especially, like you say, Caleb, in
- 5:13Speaker 6: the middle of a cost of living crisis, when this money.
- 5:17Speaker 5: Could be so much better spent.
- 5:20Speaker 6: I can't imagine how South Australians are feeling today waking
- 5:24Speaker 6: up to this news.
- 5:25Speaker 3: We imagine how many young people could be put into
- 5:27Speaker 3: vocational trading exactly, but three hundred and.
- 5:29Speaker 2: Sixty thousand dollars.
- 5:30Speaker 3: We've got a shortage of tradesmen, but they're spending money
- 5:33Speaker 3: moving desks around instead of training people for trade.
- 5:36Speaker 4: That's that's the expense of doing it again. Taking it
- 5:39Speaker 4: back to the older covey where it was reminds me
- 5:41Speaker 4: of Jerome Wymer down in Victoria, who of course had
- 5:45Speaker 4: to be paid out when he left the state government
- 5:48Speaker 4: after being a large part of the COVID response. Then
- 5:51Speaker 4: they employed him as the man to to run the
- 5:54Speaker 4: Commonwealth Games, and then of course they canceled the Commonwealth Games.
- 5:57Speaker 4: They had to pay him out for that. We did
- 5:58Speaker 4: a story a couple of weeks ago about bloke up
- 6:00Speaker 4: in Queensland who was running Queensland Health. He left and
- 6:03Speaker 4: got a massive payout on the way out, and then
- 6:05Speaker 4: went over to the hospital up on the Gold Coast
- 6:08Speaker 4: and got a massive contract there too, all within the
- 6:10Speaker 4: same department. But it ain't you well, ain't their money.
- 6:13Speaker 4: It's your money. But they don't care because they don't
- 6:16Speaker 4: have to come and knock on your door and ask
- 6:18Speaker 4: you to make a donation. They forcefully take this money
- 6:21Speaker 4: from you every single year, and this is how they
- 6:24Speaker 4: spend it. Let's go overseas where we see tinges of
- 6:27Speaker 4: the discussions that we have here in this country. You know,
- 6:30Speaker 4: it doesn't matter where you go, there's a welcome to
- 6:32Speaker 4: country at every event. If it's not a welcome to country,
- 6:35Speaker 4: it's an acknowledgment of country. You get on the sky
- 6:38Speaker 4: bus in Melbourne, they tell you that sovereignty has never
- 6:41Speaker 4: been seeded, which is a great message to sell to
- 6:43Speaker 4: people when they've just landed in Australia and the first
- 6:46Speaker 4: interaction they have with the place is being told that
- 6:49Speaker 4: the land was stolen. Well, it is exactly the same
- 6:52Speaker 4: in Mexico where the new president is about to be inaugurated,
- 6:57Speaker 4: Claudia Shineborm and she will notably not have the King
- 7:01Speaker 4: of Spain visiting for her inauguration. Now generally the King
- 7:05Speaker 4: of Spain comes along has previously for the inauguration of
- 7:09Speaker 4: Mexican presidents. But the Mexican government's been having a bit
- 7:13Speaker 4: of a Mexican standoff, as it were, with the Spanish
- 7:15Speaker 4: government for a few years now about the lack of
- 7:18Speaker 4: an apology for what happened five hundred years ago when
- 7:23Speaker 4: Spain came in and conquered the Aztec. Now this goes
- 7:27Speaker 4: all the way back to twenty nineteen. This started when
- 7:29Speaker 4: the then president Andreas Manuel Lopez Obrador I've got to
- 7:34Speaker 4: get all of that name in there, said he wanted
- 7:37Speaker 4: an apology. He wrote off a letter. Here's what he
- 7:39Speaker 4: said at the.
- 7:40Speaker 7: Time, Viajonta andres Lota a cat alpapa. But he sepia
- 7:53Speaker 7: perdom ah los polos originas for las la Look I
- 8:05Speaker 7: see gnoss.
- 8:10Speaker 4: And shineborm is continuing the beef by refusing to invite
- 8:15Speaker 4: the King of Spain. Now, would you believe it? Spain
- 8:18Speaker 4: declared independence in eighteen twenty one, Yes, eighteen twenty one,
- 8:24Speaker 4: and here they are still complaining we need an apology
- 8:28Speaker 4: from Spain for something that happened five hundred years ago.
- 8:32Speaker 4: I mean, is the UK going to write off and
- 8:34Speaker 4: asked for an apology from the Vikings for what happened? Yeah,
- 8:37Speaker 4: you could go back, literally, every single country could go
- 8:40Speaker 4: back and map all the way back thousands of years
- 8:43Speaker 4: every time they were invaded, conquered, taken over, raped, pillaged
- 8:48Speaker 4: on it. I mean, we would not stop to talk
- 8:50Speaker 4: about anything else than these apologies that everyone wants. If
- 8:54Speaker 4: this is how we conduct ourselves, I'm just glad to
- 8:56Speaker 4: know it's not just us doing it.
- 8:58Speaker 2: I think it's hilarious Mexico.
- 8:59Speaker 3: I've got their first ever female leader, and Liz it's
- 9:02Speaker 3: true that a woman never forgets.
- 9:05Speaker 2: Years later.
- 9:05Speaker 5: I think she wants an apology.
- 9:08Speaker 2: I mean, she's even.
- 9:09Speaker 3: Had her government department come up with a ceremony of
- 9:11Speaker 3: atonements that the Spanish decide that they will apologize. The
- 9:14Speaker 3: Mexicans have already worked out how they can do it.
- 9:17Speaker 3: The irony, of course, as Caleb said, was that the
- 9:20Speaker 3: King of Spain has not been invited to her swearing in.
- 9:25Speaker 2: Ceremony, but Vladimir Putin has, and he's responsible for a
- 9:30Speaker 2: much more reason.
- 9:31Speaker 3: I think the difference is you can't get money out
- 9:33Speaker 3: of Vladimir Putin.
- 9:34Speaker 6: There's only certain invaders that they're not oparently, But can
- 9:38Speaker 6: I just say I love this by King Philip the
- 9:41Speaker 6: sixth of Spain. He's not playing into it. Most leaders
- 9:46Speaker 6: in today's environment just go okay, yep, sorry, like ride
- 9:51Speaker 6: up some royal ducuay. Oh, put my magic wax seal
- 9:54Speaker 6: on it. We'll do a song and dance. We'll have
- 9:57Speaker 6: this ceremony of atonement. He's just it's like sot it.
- 10:01Speaker 6: It was twenty generations ago. Me saying anything is not
- 10:06Speaker 6: going to achieve the slightest difference to anybody's quality of
- 10:11Speaker 6: life here in the twenty first century.
- 10:13Speaker 5: I am not playing into this.
- 10:15Speaker 6: I think it's very smart because you know what follows
- 10:18Speaker 6: an apology, reparations in some.
- 10:21Speaker 5: Way, shape or form.
- 10:23Speaker 6: And King Philip has just gone no, I'm not playing
- 10:27Speaker 6: this game. You can exclude me from your little inaugural powwow.
- 10:31Speaker 5: I don't care. We're not coming to the party.
- 10:34Speaker 3: Here's what I don't get right, So the Spanish are
- 10:36Speaker 3: supposed to apologize to the Aztecs where sorry, we conquered.
- 10:40Speaker 3: You do the Aztecs apologize to all the people they sacrificed?
- 10:43Speaker 5: An ate?
- 10:44Speaker 2: Is that going to happen?
- 10:46Speaker 5: That advanced?
- 10:47Speaker 4: But this is the problem, right, you could literally go
- 10:50Speaker 4: back thousands and thousands and thousands of years and find
- 10:52Speaker 4: anyone who has ever wronged you and asked for an apology.
- 10:56Speaker 4: Where does it in, Like, at what point do we
- 10:58Speaker 4: just accept that history is history. Let bygones be bygones.
- 11:03Speaker 4: We'll deal with what is in front of us now.
- 11:05Speaker 4: If there are damaging effects that were caused by invasions
- 11:08Speaker 4: or whatever, at certain points, sure you deal with them
- 11:11Speaker 4: now through health care or welfare or whatever it might be.
- 11:15Speaker 4: But sitting around and quibbling over what happened five hundred
- 11:18Speaker 4: years ago in this case, or what happened, you know,
- 11:20Speaker 4: three four hundred years ago in the case of Australia
- 11:23Speaker 4: doesn't actually move us any further. Always, it's heavy to
- 11:28Speaker 4: talk about these things that are so you know, they're
- 11:32Speaker 4: not in the here and now because you don't actually
- 11:34Speaker 4: have to do anything about them. It doesn't require actual action.
- 11:38Speaker 4: It doesn't require you to do anything to help someone
- 11:40Speaker 4: right now, but you can shed the blame for what
- 11:44Speaker 4: is happening now to things that happen five hundred.
- 11:46Speaker 3: Years This is the irony of the progressive movement. Right
- 11:48Speaker 3: Mexico's got a progressive leader who doesn't want to talk
- 11:51Speaker 3: about the future. It only wants to talk about something
- 11:53Speaker 3: that happened twenty generations to go, which is the ultimate.
- 11:56Speaker 2: In emotional manipulation.
- 11:58Speaker 3: When you're trying to convince an entire cut, you need
- 12:00Speaker 3: to apologize for what happened twenty generations ago. And good
- 12:04Speaker 3: on the king, as you said, because to apologize for
- 12:07Speaker 3: something that happened five hundred years ago, would that not
- 12:09Speaker 3: be emotional fraud.
- 12:10Speaker 5: Yeah, and he knows it.
- 12:12Speaker 6: He knows that the invoice would soon follow, and he's
- 12:16Speaker 6: not having a bar of it. To the European Union now,
- 12:20Speaker 6: where they know they're in a spot of trouble after
- 12:23Speaker 6: the election earlier this year in June, where it was
- 12:26Speaker 6: a very different European Union that met afterwards. Why because
- 12:30Speaker 6: the large sways of their twenty seven country states had said,
- 12:36Speaker 6: we're electing right wing members now because we're sick of
- 12:40Speaker 6: the mass immigration flooding into our countries. You will remember
- 12:45Speaker 6: that the backlash in France was so severe that President
- 12:48Speaker 6: Macron went to a snap election saying, well, my lot,
- 12:52Speaker 6: the lefties have clearly lost the will of the people,
- 12:55Speaker 6: so we need to go to a snap election. Since then,
- 12:58Speaker 6: in July, the Netherlands have finally sworn in their right
- 13:02Speaker 6: wing government again ran on anti immigration.
- 13:06Speaker 5: A few months.
- 13:07Speaker 6: Later, Austria elected the Freedom Party again ran on anti immigration.
- 13:15Speaker 6: This just keeps becoming a massive issue for the EU
- 13:19Speaker 6: as they lose more and more control over their own
- 13:22Speaker 6: member states.
- 13:23Speaker 5: So what do they do.
- 13:25Speaker 6: They get the European Council on Foreign Relations to roll
- 13:29Speaker 6: out a report warning that whiteness and europeanness is the
- 13:34Speaker 6: danger going forward. Not citing economic or energy issues, not
- 13:39Speaker 6: citing mass immigration, the rocketing crime, etc.
- 13:42Speaker 4: And so on.
- 13:43Speaker 6: No, No, it's the European neess of Europe that is
- 13:48Speaker 6: posing a massive problem.
- 13:49Speaker 5: Let's read from this report.
- 13:52Speaker 6: It says in most countries, non white and Muslim people
- 13:55Speaker 6: were underrepresented in candidate lists. No more than twenty non
- 13:59Speaker 6: white MPs were elected this year, less than three.
- 14:03Speaker 5: Percent of the total and well below the ten.
- 14:05Speaker 6: Percent share that racial and ethnic minorities are estimated to
- 14:09Speaker 6: account for in the EU.
- 14:12Speaker 5: Where do these people get the goal?
- 14:15Speaker 6: You'll notice it's never African countries that have pressure placed
- 14:19Speaker 6: upon them to have some whites in their parliament.
- 14:21Speaker 5: Never in the Asian countries.
- 14:23Speaker 6: That were like, wait, what about the white representation in
- 14:26Speaker 6: your parliament? And don't even get started on the Arab states. No,
- 14:31Speaker 6: it's always the Europeans. It's always the white countries, Canada,
- 14:36Speaker 6: the US, Australia. We obsess over this. Let's return to
- 14:40Speaker 6: the report. It says far right parties appeared to be
- 14:44Speaker 6: on the rise in almost every member state, usually issuing
- 14:49Speaker 6: promises to stop immigration or even planning as the alternative
- 14:53Speaker 6: for Germany or AfD did to expel large swathes of
- 14:58Speaker 6: the population were still parts of the European political mainstream,
- 15:04Speaker 6: especially among center right and liberal parties, certainly appeared to
- 15:07Speaker 6: embrace elements of a xenophobic view of the world, as
- 15:11Speaker 6: reflected in the EU's new Migration and Asylum Pact adopted
- 15:15Speaker 6: in April, or in political proposals to send refugees to
- 15:19Speaker 6: third countries, both of which raised major human rights questions.
- 15:24Speaker 6: It's almost like they're wagging the finger at Hungary, who
- 15:28Speaker 6: has said you can keep sending illegals here, We're just
- 15:31Speaker 6: going to bust them to brush those and Germany, who
- 15:34Speaker 6: has recently announced much more strict border control after they
- 15:38Speaker 6: copped a belting at the state election and the federal
- 15:41Speaker 6: government there got really worried because their elections coming up
- 15:46Speaker 6: less than a year from now. Why is it that
- 15:50Speaker 6: everyone's allowed to enjoy living amongst white people in nations
- 15:55Speaker 6: founded by.
- 15:56Speaker 5: White people, except for white people.
- 16:00Speaker 6: If we want to keep Hungary for Hungarians, or as
- 16:05Speaker 6: Wilders said at nauseum during the debates in the Netherlands,
- 16:10Speaker 6: we want to keep the Netherlands Dutch.
- 16:12Speaker 5: We are being overrun.
- 16:14Speaker 6: And I promise you I'm going to fix that. Why
- 16:16Speaker 6: is it only white countries who were ever demonized for saying, hey,
- 16:21Speaker 6: we kind of like things the way they are.
- 16:23Speaker 5: We want to keep our country Dutch. We yet builted
- 16:27Speaker 5: for it.
- 16:27Speaker 6: I mean here in Australia that ship has sailed with
- 16:31Speaker 6: one in three not even born in the country. But
- 16:34Speaker 6: these are countries who this is via mass immigration, only
- 16:38Speaker 6: quite a lot of it illegal, and they're trying to
- 16:42Speaker 6: save their country.
- 16:43Speaker 3: It's a strange thing, isn't it. Because you don't have
- 16:45Speaker 3: any politicians in Africa. And I love Africa, have been
- 16:47Speaker 3: the many times, but you don't have any African politicians
- 16:50Speaker 3: saying Africa's too black, We've got to change it.
- 16:52Speaker 2: It's only more Asians exactly.
- 16:55Speaker 3: It's certainly in Europe where Europeans are a danger to Europe.
- 16:58Speaker 2: This report from the.
- 16:59Speaker 3: European Council was called Welcome to barbieland which detailed the
- 17:04Speaker 3: fact that migrants arrive in Europe to find it's not
- 17:06Speaker 3: the utopia they imagined because they feel alienated. Well, I mean,
- 17:10Speaker 3: you could always go back to where you came from
- 17:12Speaker 3: people like you, but no, no, that's not the solution.
- 17:16Speaker 3: They've got to get rid of whiteness. The other thing
- 17:18Speaker 3: about this report that I thought was really interesting is
- 17:20Speaker 3: they said the problem in Europe at the moment is
- 17:21Speaker 3: that too many Europeans are thinking that Europe is an
- 17:23Speaker 3: ethnic group. But it's a sentiment, quote unquote. They've actually
- 17:27Speaker 3: said Europe is a sentiment. And here's the irony, Right,
- 17:31Speaker 3: what is this European sentiment? Well, it consists of three things, secularism, equality,
- 17:36Speaker 3: and universalism. So in order to increase the sentiment of secularism,
- 17:42Speaker 3: they're importing millions of people who are Muslims.
- 17:45Speaker 2: That doesn't work.
- 17:46Speaker 3: In order to increase the sentiment of equality, they're importing
- 17:49Speaker 3: millions of people who say that women should be subjugated
- 17:53Speaker 3: or treated differently, that people with a different religion are
- 17:57Speaker 3: second class citizens. And in order to increase the sentiment
- 18:00Speaker 3: of universalism, they're importing millions of people who believe the
- 18:03Speaker 3: Quran is the truth, the only truth. So they're completely
- 18:08Speaker 3: hypocritical and contradictory. It makes no sense at all, and
- 18:11Speaker 3: they're destroying one of the great continents of the world.
- 18:15Speaker 4: The first point is that nowhere engages in self loathing
- 18:18Speaker 4: quite like the West, Right, I mean, we, we're not
- 18:21Speaker 4: we you and I love where we live, but the
- 18:23Speaker 4: West engages in this terrible self loathing as a consequence
- 18:27Speaker 4: of the fact that socialists want to take over the
- 18:29Speaker 4: joint And what's the easiest way to do that than
- 18:31Speaker 4: to convince people that the countries they live in are
- 18:34Speaker 4: terrible and they've committed atrocities, et cetera.
- 18:36Speaker 5: So once we convince them, why everyone else.
- 18:43Speaker 4: We've convince them that it's terrible, no culture exists, and
- 18:45Speaker 4: then socialism can move in and take over. But the
- 18:48Speaker 4: report has completely missed the point. Europeanness is not the
- 18:53Speaker 4: reason that the EU is in trouble. It's the fact
- 18:56Speaker 4: that people just want control of their own countries. That's
- 19:00Speaker 4: got nothing to do with your ethnicity or race. It's
- 19:03Speaker 4: a matter of fact that you are a citizen of
- 19:05Speaker 4: a country, right, you have a right to vote democratically
- 19:09Speaker 4: in that country, and you would prefer that the country
- 19:11Speaker 4: of which you are a citizen is not taken over
- 19:14Speaker 4: by people who are not citizens. Right. The problem here
- 19:18Speaker 4: is that the EU as a group has decided what
- 19:22Speaker 4: rules other countries must follow, them member states must follow,
- 19:26Speaker 4: and the individual countries are starting to push back. It's
- 19:29Speaker 4: not a problem of oh, you know, too many white people,
- 19:32Speaker 4: or you know, we're too European. It's not about the
- 19:35Speaker 4: europe thing at all. It's that Italy wants to be Italy,
- 19:39Speaker 4: and France wants to be France, and Hungary wants to
- 19:43Speaker 4: be Hungry. They're not saying no, no, no, we hate the
- 19:45Speaker 4: idea of Europe. Europe is a continent. You can't just
- 19:48Speaker 4: cast away the continent. They don't like the idea that
- 19:51Speaker 4: nation states, individual nation states must be beholden to some
- 19:55Speaker 4: sort of larger outfit. That's what the real problem is here.
- 19:59Speaker 4: If the EU actually governed for the people who are
- 20:02Speaker 4: citizens of European countries, there would be no problem. They're
- 20:07Speaker 4: not saying we must have only white people in Europe.
- 20:10Speaker 4: They're just saying, well, those of us who've actually signed up,
- 20:13Speaker 4: born here or signed up as citizens, we just want
- 20:15Speaker 4: our place to be run properly pleased. That's what it's about.
- 20:18Speaker 3: And the European Union's argument is so weak because they
- 20:21Speaker 3: compared the whiteness of the European Parliament to the diversity
- 20:26Speaker 3: of melanin at the European Football Championships at the Summer Olympics,
- 20:30Speaker 3: and they even went so far as to say, look,
- 20:32Speaker 3: at the Eurovision Song contest. There was way more diversity
- 20:34Speaker 3: of color of skin there than in the European Parliament,
- 20:37Speaker 3: which is apparently a slam dunk argument. That's just because
- 20:40Speaker 3: Parliament must represent Eurovisions.
- 20:44Speaker 4: Dancing. I mean we all know that.
- 20:46Speaker 5: Come, what do you think it was going to accept that?
- 20:49Speaker 2: Those SAIDs it all.
- 20:50Speaker 3: Now we're going to talk about the anniversary of October
- 20:53Speaker 3: seven a little later when we get to the papers,
- 20:55Speaker 3: but let's talk about the ABC for a moment, because
- 20:58Speaker 3: they have reminded the staff that Hamas and Hezbolla should
- 21:03Speaker 3: be routinely referred to as terrorist organizations because they are
- 21:08Speaker 3: terroist organizations, which begs the question, why would you need
- 21:11Speaker 3: to remind ABC staff that these terroist organizations should be
- 21:16Speaker 3: called terrorist organizations. Well, you may remember back in November
- 21:20Speaker 3: two hundred, ABC staff called for a meeting with executives
- 21:24Speaker 3: to complain about what they saw as unfair coverage of
- 21:28Speaker 3: the conflict in the Middle East. Unfair to Palestine, they believed.
- 21:33Speaker 3: But it goes on, and the ABC have made other changes,
- 21:37Speaker 3: advising media staff that they should refer to Israel's incursion
- 21:42Speaker 3: into Lebanon not as an incursion but as an invasion.
- 21:46Speaker 3: Mark Malley, who's the ABC manager of editorial policies for News, said,
- 21:50Speaker 3: we're confirming here that we are now describing the current
- 21:53Speaker 3: actions of Israel on the Lebanese side of the border
- 21:56Speaker 3: as a land invasion. Now people understandably upset about this, Caleb,
- 22:03Speaker 3: because there's no suggestion Israel.
- 22:05Speaker 2: Trying to take over Lebanon.
- 22:07Speaker 3: They have had Hesbala firing rockets for eleven months, seventy
- 22:12Speaker 3: thousand Israelis or more displaced. Finally, Israel have decided we
- 22:16Speaker 3: cannot tolerate this any longer. We're going to go across
- 22:19Speaker 3: the border. We're going to take out these missile batteries.
- 22:22Speaker 3: In doing that, they found tunnels which would have been
- 22:25Speaker 3: used for another October seven but from the north. So
- 22:28Speaker 3: they've decided, well, we better destroy those, and they're endeavoring
- 22:31Speaker 3: to push HESBLA back to the point that was decided
- 22:35Speaker 3: in two thousand and six by the United Nations that
- 22:38Speaker 3: HESBLA should be though it's never been enforced by the
- 22:41Speaker 3: United Nations who made that decision.
- 22:44Speaker 2: So to say Israel.
- 22:45Speaker 3: Are invading Lebanon, does that not give an entirely false
- 22:50Speaker 3: perspective on what is really happening.
- 22:52Speaker 4: When you get into the semantics of it, it sort
- 22:54Speaker 4: of suggests they're going in to take the land.
- 22:56Speaker 2: It certainly does.
- 22:57Speaker 4: The objective is not to go in an octupa Lebanon.
- 23:00Speaker 4: The objective is just to push his Bla far enough
- 23:03Speaker 4: fact that they no longer are a threat to the
- 23:05Speaker 4: North of Israel. You're not going in there to take
- 23:07Speaker 4: the joint over, right. But the fact that the ABC
- 23:10Speaker 4: would even need to send out a directive on the
- 23:12Speaker 4: language that needs to be used to describe such an event,
- 23:16Speaker 4: I find extraordinary. The fact that they need to send
- 23:19Speaker 4: out a directive to remind people that Hezbala mas terrorist organizations.
- 23:25Speaker 4: And I suppose it's no great surprise after what we
- 23:28Speaker 4: saw last week where an ABC reporter was asking Peter Dutton,
- 23:33Speaker 4: you know what lads a terror organization? Oh no, maybe
- 23:37Speaker 4: it's got something to do with the fact. But not
- 23:39Speaker 4: only do they terrorize people in Lebanon, like the Christians
- 23:43Speaker 4: in Lebanon don't want his Bla there, they fired thousands
- 23:46Speaker 4: of rockets into the North of Israel. Sixty to eighty
- 23:50Speaker 4: thousand Israelis have not been able to live in their
- 23:52Speaker 4: homes in the North of Israel. As a result of
- 23:54Speaker 4: his blaff. No, no, no, they are not terrorists. It's
- 23:58Speaker 4: not like they have a plan to type out all
- 24:00Speaker 4: the infidels on the face of the earth. No, they're
- 24:03Speaker 4: not terrorists. Like how could you not think that they
- 24:06Speaker 4: are terrorists? And actually ask that question to the opposition leader?
- 24:10Speaker 4: What makes hez Blah terrorists more than anyone else? I mean,
- 24:13Speaker 4: it is abundantly obvious every Western nation in the world
- 24:18Speaker 4: tas that hez Blah is a terror organization. But it
- 24:22Speaker 4: tells you who is in charge at the ABC right,
- 24:26Speaker 4: and it's the animals running the zoo. That you would
- 24:29Speaker 4: even need to send down a directive like this to
- 24:32Speaker 4: tell them what they can and can't say or how
- 24:34Speaker 4: they should report. It is ridiculous, and they've conceded in
- 24:37Speaker 4: this email that you know not it. In not every
- 24:40Speaker 4: case are we going to be able to say hez
- 24:42Speaker 4: bla the designated terror organization. But it must be used
- 24:46Speaker 4: on a regular basis in TV, radio and online reporting
- 24:50Speaker 4: just to prove the point. It feels to me like
- 24:52Speaker 4: they're saying we need to like overcompensate now and every
- 24:56Speaker 4: time we talk about hez Blah, just mention the fact
- 24:59Speaker 4: that they're a terror a organization, so it doesn't look
- 25:02Speaker 4: like that reporter who was talking to Dutton last week
- 25:05Speaker 4: spoke on behalf of the ABC. I just find it
- 25:08Speaker 4: extraordinary that a media organization would need to do that
- 25:11Speaker 4: in Australia.
- 25:11Speaker 3: I think it'd be wonderful if the ABC continued to
- 25:14Speaker 3: overcompensate for them.
- 25:16Speaker 2: He'll be a good, great day.
- 25:18Speaker 3: And with regards that ABC reporter who asked Peter Dutton
- 25:21Speaker 3: why says designated as a terrorist organization? The ABC response
- 25:26Speaker 3: to that from management is that's concerned about the welfare
- 25:29Speaker 3: of that particular reporter, all right, as they might.
- 25:33Speaker 6: We're concerned about the intelligence levels of.
- 25:37Speaker 5: That particular reporter.
- 25:39Speaker 6: To the US now, where President Trump has returned to
- 25:43Speaker 6: the scene of the crime where his life was saved
- 25:49Speaker 6: by a bullet because he turned his head to look
- 25:52Speaker 6: at an immigration chart. He's back in Butler, Pennsylvania, and
- 25:56Speaker 6: he had a very humorous way of picking up where
- 25:59Speaker 6: he left up.
- 26:01Speaker 1: We love Pennsylvania. And as I was saying, oh, I
- 26:18Speaker 1: love that I love that chart. I love that graph.
- 26:23Speaker 1: Isn't it a beautiful thing.
- 26:26Speaker 6: He's famously thanks that chart for saving his life because,
- 26:29Speaker 6: as we know, if he had not turned his head
- 26:32Speaker 6: the very millisecond that he did in order to talk
- 26:35Speaker 6: about that chart, he would not be alive today. Also
- 26:40Speaker 6: joining him in Butler, Pennsylvania was Elon Musk himself, who
- 26:44Speaker 6: took to the stage to remind people this is a
- 26:47Speaker 6: do or die election.
- 26:50Speaker 8: There's no true test encourage under fire. We had one
- 26:54Speaker 8: president who couldn't climb a flight of stairs and another
- 26:58Speaker 8: who was after getting shot. The other side wants to
- 27:04Speaker 8: take away your freedom of speech. They want to take
- 27:07Speaker 8: away your right to bear arms. That it's we're they
- 27:14Speaker 8: want to take away your right to vote.
- 27:15Speaker 6: Effectively, So here he is in this battleground state. No
- 27:21Speaker 6: doubt it was going to result in a lot of
- 27:25Speaker 6: people flocking to register to vote. Indeed, that was partly
- 27:30Speaker 6: the idea of it. Pennsylvania is famously a very tight state.
- 27:36Speaker 6: Trump won it back in twenty sixteen.
- 27:39Speaker 5: By point seventy two percent.
- 27:41Speaker 6: How's that for a tight margin, And when Biden won
- 27:45Speaker 6: it back in twenty twenty was just one point seventeen percent.
- 27:50Speaker 6: So that's to give you an idea of just how
- 27:53Speaker 6: tight it is when we're talking about Pennsylvania. Pretty much
- 27:57Speaker 6: nobody ever knows how this state is going to go
- 28:01Speaker 6: at a federal election. So it was with great interest
- 28:04Speaker 6: that we learned today that the State Department in Pennsylvania
- 28:08Speaker 6: decided to announce that this day, the day of Trump's
- 28:12Speaker 6: triumphant return to Butler, Pennsylvania, their voter registration polls are
- 28:19Speaker 6: going to be down online because they had some site
- 28:23Speaker 6: maintenance to do. How's this for dirty cheating tactics. I mean,
- 28:31Speaker 6: these guys, it seems every week we touch on another.
- 28:35Speaker 5: Way in which they are cheating in the broad light
- 28:40Speaker 5: of day. Last week we were talking about.
- 28:42Speaker 6: Arizona being sued by the Department of Justice because they'd
- 28:47Speaker 6: wiped off three thy two hundred illegal immigrants off their
- 28:51Speaker 6: voter registration polls, and the DOJ Biden's Department of Justice
- 28:57Speaker 6: isn't having a bar of it. No, you've got to
- 28:59Speaker 6: leave them on. Suddenly, we do want illegals voting in
- 29:02Speaker 6: this election every single day if not weak Now in
- 29:06Speaker 6: the lead up to this election, there's another story how
- 29:09Speaker 6: these guys are just tweaking it in the Blue team's favor.
- 29:13Speaker 3: So around about twenty third of September, Trump announces I'm
- 29:15Speaker 3: going to go back to Butler, and of course voting
- 29:17Speaker 3: is not compulsory. So the big reason for these rallies
- 29:20Speaker 3: is to mobilize people to register and vote.
- 29:22Speaker 4: Right.
- 29:22Speaker 3: Yes, So twenty third of September, we're going to go
- 29:25Speaker 3: to Butler, and then on the thirtieth of September or
- 29:27Speaker 3: the first of October somewhere in there, the Pennsylvania State
- 29:31Speaker 3: Department says, we're going to do maintenance on the voter
- 29:34Speaker 3: registration website. Trump stands up to speak at five PM.
- 29:38Speaker 3: The maintenance starts at six pm and goes to midnight.
- 29:42Speaker 3: Just the coincidence, I am sure. Of course, when Lara
- 29:46Speaker 3: Trump called this out, she heads up the Trump campaign,
- 29:49Speaker 3: they decided we better do the maintenance from ten pm.
- 29:52Speaker 2: So they did change it, but only after being.
- 29:54Speaker 5: Caught, and only by a matter of hours.
- 29:57Speaker 4: I can't believe that this is not illegal at a
- 30:00Speaker 4: federal level in the US, because when we talked about
- 30:03Speaker 4: that story a couple of weeks ago, where they were
- 30:05Speaker 4: going after the fact that illegal voters had been removed
- 30:08Speaker 4: from the role, the rule was that you couldn't do
- 30:11Speaker 4: that after ninety days, and the decision had come through
- 30:13Speaker 4: eighty four days or something. Right, Surely there should be
- 30:16Speaker 4: a rule that says at least ninety days out from
- 30:19Speaker 4: an election, states should have their voter registration systems up
- 30:24Speaker 4: and read it to go like we are dead, sit
- 30:26Speaker 4: right in the middle of the eye of the storm
- 30:29Speaker 4: in this election campaign, and it is at this point
- 30:33Speaker 4: that they're doing maintenance on their systems, Like this is
- 30:36Speaker 4: the most basic stuff that should have been done a
- 30:39Speaker 4: long time ago. Can you imagine if the Australian Electoral
- 30:42Speaker 4: Commission barely a month out from a federal election said sorry,
- 30:47Speaker 4: the websites are going down, we're doing maintenance. There would
- 30:51Speaker 4: be a massive outcry. We would not copy it. But
- 30:54Speaker 4: for some reason in the US, because it's all left
- 30:56Speaker 4: up to individual states. Oh, it's so much more complicated
- 31:00Speaker 4: and we couldn't possibly do anything about it. Like, you know,
- 31:02Speaker 4: I'm not always in favor of the feeds coming in
- 31:05Speaker 4: and taking control of things, but this should be such
- 31:08Speaker 4: an obvious one. If you can't log on and register
- 31:11Speaker 4: to vote a month out from an election, something is
- 31:15Speaker 4: seriously wrong.
- 31:16Speaker 6: Caleb Caleb Caleb, the sweet naivety of being twenty five,
- 31:21Speaker 6: So you genuinely believe that they did have maintenance to
- 31:26Speaker 6: do it.
- 31:26Speaker 4: I'm not saying that. I'm saying that the situation. I
- 31:29Speaker 4: don't believe that I'm saying it should be illegal, Like
- 31:32Speaker 4: there should be no circumstance in which that can even
- 31:35Speaker 4: be put forward as a possibility that you have to
- 31:38Speaker 4: do maintenance a month out from an election, Like it
- 31:41Speaker 4: just seems like the most basic stuff that should not
- 31:43Speaker 4: even be possible. But no wonder they don't want you
- 31:46Speaker 4: to go on and register to vote, because if you
- 31:48Speaker 4: take a look at Kamala Harris, who is starting to
- 31:51Speaker 4: do a few little interviews here and there, she popped
- 31:54Speaker 4: up on a podcast called Call Her Daddy. It's one
- 31:57Speaker 4: of the most popular podcasts in the world. I can't
- 32:00Speaker 4: say that I'm a listener. You're probably not either, but yes,
- 32:04Speaker 4: it is one of the most popular podcasts in the world,
- 32:06Speaker 4: worth millions of dollars. Will who host it recently signed
- 32:09Speaker 4: a deal for upwards of sixty million dollars US. I
- 32:12Speaker 4: think it is to host this thing, so it is
- 32:15Speaker 4: big deal staff. But she was asked the big question
- 32:18Speaker 4: on Call Her Daddy, why is it that you don't
- 32:22Speaker 4: do a lot of sit down interviews, you know, traditional
- 32:24Speaker 4: format where you're there with a hard hitting journalist who
- 32:27Speaker 4: is going to ask you the questions that you need
- 32:30Speaker 4: to give a real response to why are you not
- 32:32Speaker 4: doing that and why are you talking to me instead?
- 32:35Speaker 4: And well, Kamala Harris said nothing, really.
- 32:40Speaker 9: I'm curious, like you don't do too many long form interviews.
- 32:44Speaker 2: What made you want to do Color Daddie today.
- 32:47Speaker 9: Well, I think you and your listeners have really got
- 32:52Speaker 9: this thing right, which is one of the best ways
- 32:55Speaker 9: to communicate with people is to be real, you know,
- 32:59Speaker 9: and to talk about the things that people really care about.
- 33:03Speaker 9: What I love about what you do is that your
- 33:07Speaker 9: voice and your show is really about your listeners.
- 33:12Speaker 4: Show is about the listeners. Yeah, isn't every show. I mean,
- 33:18Speaker 4: this show is about the viewers. When you go and
- 33:21Speaker 4: do a sit down interview, you don't Fox News or
- 33:23Speaker 4: see an inn. It's about the view it what does
- 33:26Speaker 4: she think the media is. It's just it's real. It's real,
- 33:31Speaker 4: by which she means I'm coming here because I know
- 33:34Speaker 4: that you're not going to ask me a hard question.
- 33:36Speaker 2: The other crazy thing she said there is.
- 33:37Speaker 3: She said, I love this podcast because the listeners are
- 33:40Speaker 3: seen and heard. Well, actually it's a podcast and their
- 33:45Speaker 3: listeners they're not heard. Brother, just wondering what people would rather,
- 33:48Speaker 3: would you rather be seen and heard or would you
- 33:50Speaker 3: rather have the border crisis sorted.
- 33:52Speaker 2: And relation come down? What's more important?
- 33:54Speaker 6: I mean, obviously she does these because she knows it's
- 33:57Speaker 6: going to be a free ride. See you doing any
- 34:01Speaker 6: one on ones hard hitting interviews talking about policy on
- 34:05Speaker 6: even the friendly networks. She's not popping up on CNN,
- 34:08Speaker 6: she's not popping up on CSNBC, even the people who
- 34:12Speaker 6: are barracking for her, the networks that are giving the
- 34:16Speaker 6: Democrats a tongue bath on the hour every single day
- 34:20Speaker 6: in the lead up to polling day, She's not going
- 34:23Speaker 6: on there to do any hard hitting questions because everybody
- 34:28Speaker 6: knows at this point in time she's not up for it.
- 34:31Speaker 6: So why on earth would you want that woman in
- 34:34Speaker 6: the White House? Come on, America, restore our faith in you.
- 34:38Speaker 6: But turning to CNN now, since we're talking about it,
- 34:42Speaker 6: someone who is facing the behemoth is Hillary Clinton? A
- 34:47Speaker 6: stranger to none of us, well known among the Dems.
- 34:50Speaker 5: She's doing her own bit to up the blue vote.
- 34:54Speaker 5: And here she is.
- 34:55Speaker 6: Saying outright what we're normally told in a far more
- 34:59Speaker 6: g teel way, which is she just states it directly.
- 35:04Speaker 6: If we lose control of what people can say on
- 35:07Speaker 6: social media. We lose control entirely.
- 35:10Speaker 5: Check it out.
- 35:12Speaker 10: We should be, in my view, repealing something called Section
- 35:16Speaker 10: two thirty, which gave platforms on the Internet to immunity
- 35:21Speaker 10: because they were thought to be just passed throughs, that
- 35:23Speaker 10: they shouldn't be judged for the.
- 35:25Speaker 5: Content that is posted.
- 35:27Speaker 10: But we now know that that was an overly simple
- 35:30Speaker 10: view that if the platforms, whether it's Facebook or Twitter
- 35:35Speaker 10: x or Instagram or TikTok, whatever they are, if they
- 35:39Speaker 10: don't moderate and monitor the content, we lose total control.
- 35:44Speaker 10: And it's not just the social and psychological effects.
- 35:48Speaker 5: It's real harm. God forbid, you lose total control. God forbid.
- 35:53Speaker 6: People can exchange information freely and fairly in democratic nations.
- 36:00Speaker 6: I mean, I love it when they just say it outright.
- 36:02Speaker 6: I mean, we know that is their agenda.
- 36:05Speaker 4: Here.
- 36:05Speaker 6: We've got our mis stairs information. The federal government's combating
- 36:09Speaker 6: it the hate speech laws again, just clamping down on
- 36:11Speaker 6: free speech.
- 36:12Speaker 5: But every now and then one.
- 36:14Speaker 6: Of the parties wheels out someone, particularly in America, who
- 36:18Speaker 6: just says it like it is. That's what we're afraid of.
- 36:20Speaker 6: We're going to lose total control. And what she was
- 36:23Speaker 6: saying there is entirely disingenuous because we know those platforms,
- 36:28Speaker 6: by law, do have to monitor content. Things like child
- 36:32Speaker 6: pornography must be taken down. As Elon Musk has stated,
- 36:35Speaker 6: if someone poses something that breaks laws in any country,
- 36:40Speaker 6: we delete it. We have people working around the clock
- 36:42Speaker 6: to achieve that.
- 36:43Speaker 3: Isn't Hillary Clinton the person who paid a huge sum
- 36:46Speaker 3: of money for a dossier full of misinformation front I mean,
- 36:50Speaker 3: but the arrogance of these people. Now, John Carey, we
- 36:53Speaker 3: talked about him last week where he came out and
- 36:55Speaker 3: said that the First Amendment is a major problem for democracies.
- 36:59Speaker 3: I mean, they're not even trying to hide their intentions now.
- 37:02Speaker 3: Of course Hillary Clinton, they're talking to Sea and n
- 37:05Speaker 3: begs the question when she says we risk losing control?
- 37:08Speaker 3: Who is the wi and I suspect Hillary Clinton believes
- 37:11Speaker 3: the Wii is me as in.
- 37:13Speaker 2: Herself exactly as a class the elites.
- 37:15Speaker 4: And I have some sympathy for the idea that social
- 37:18Speaker 4: media companies should be responsible for what is posted on
- 37:21Speaker 4: their platforms in so far as they are a publisher.
- 37:24Speaker 4: So if you're publishing defamatory content, well you should be
- 37:27Speaker 4: held responsible in the same way that Sky newses or
- 37:29Speaker 4: that a newspaper is if defamatory content is published. But
- 37:33Speaker 4: what she is talking about enforcing them to moderate their
- 37:36Speaker 4: content or if they refuse to do it, some other
- 37:39Speaker 4: entity doing it. What is that entity that is the
- 37:42Speaker 4: big problem. Much like here in Australia the Misinformation Disinformation Bill,
- 37:47Speaker 4: we're talking about a government entity deciding what you can
- 37:51Speaker 4: and cannot say on social media. And when a government
- 37:53Speaker 4: entity is in control, it means that government has a
- 37:56Speaker 4: level of control. And then we're looking at dictatorship. Before
- 38:00Speaker 4: we go to the break, have a look at this
- 38:02Speaker 4: footage out of Melbourne. Now there's a little saying that
- 38:05Speaker 4: goes around online which is f around and find out,
- 38:09Speaker 4: and that's exactly what happened to this bloke. You might
- 38:11Speaker 4: have heard about the tobacco wars down in Melbourne, which
- 38:14Speaker 4: is gangs that are rivaling each other to get control
- 38:18Speaker 4: of the illegal tobacco market. What you're seeing here is
- 38:21Speaker 4: the owner of a tobacconist who's just watched a member
- 38:25Speaker 4: of one of these gangs running to his shop planning
- 38:28Speaker 4: to fire vomit. The owner has in his hands an
- 38:32Speaker 4: acts and within a matter of moments you watch the
- 38:34Speaker 4: bloke be HEA's just walked into vibe bomb the joint,
- 38:37Speaker 4: come back out and he is faced by the owner
- 38:39Speaker 4: with an ACT, who takes him down to the ground
- 38:42Speaker 4: and says, buddy, you have come to the wrong shop.
- 38:46Speaker 4: I tell you what, I would not want to be
- 38:48Speaker 4: that bloke. But you can't blame people in these circumstances.
- 38:52Speaker 4: We want the cops to be able to intervene, but
- 38:55Speaker 4: all too often now we see it doesn't happen, whether
- 38:57Speaker 4: it's youth crime, etc. This is what people have got
- 39:00Speaker 4: to do.
- 39:00Speaker 5: Vigilante justice.
- 39:01Speaker 2: See what that bandit would have needed a smoke with
- 39:05Speaker 2: the acts. We're going to go to a break.
- 39:06Speaker 3: When we come back, we'll look at what's making news tomorrow,
- 39:08Speaker 3: including researchers being given five hundred thousand dollars of your
- 39:12Speaker 3: money to find out if Australia really is good by sea. Okay,
- 39:20Speaker 3: welcome back. Let's take a look at what's making news
- 39:22Speaker 3: tomorrow in the papers. Caleb, you've got the Australian.
- 39:24Speaker 4: Indeed, I do unlike many of the papers tomorrow, it
- 39:27Speaker 4: is covering the protests and demonstrations we saw today. Of course,
- 39:31Speaker 4: October the seventh being the first anniversary of the Hamas
- 39:34Speaker 4: Terra attacks on Israel, where nearly twelve hundred people were killed.
- 39:39Speaker 4: It says on the front of the Australian Tomorrow, palpaple
- 39:42Speaker 4: anger at real pole problem. A sheik who celebrated the
- 39:46Speaker 4: October seven massacre has told hundreds of people rallying outside
- 39:50Speaker 4: the Lakember Mosque in Sydney that the terror attack was
- 39:53Speaker 4: a quote unquote day of courage. One year on, as
- 39:57Speaker 4: concerns mount among labor operatives, the ALP's election chances are
- 40:02Speaker 4: in serious peril over anger at the plight of Palestinians. Now,
- 40:06Speaker 4: we should note that only three hundred people turned up
- 40:08Speaker 4: to this demonstration, thank god. At least the message might
- 40:12Speaker 4: have gone through to some people that rocking up to
- 40:15Speaker 4: protest and celebrate October seven might not be a good look.
- 40:18Speaker 4: And these protests have gained the praise of Hezbollah. So
- 40:22Speaker 4: if that doesn't tell you what it meant to demonstrate
- 40:25Speaker 4: on October the seventh, I don't know what does. As
- 40:28Speaker 4: I said a number of times last week, I will
- 40:31Speaker 4: defend your right to protest. Every single day of the week.
- 40:35Speaker 4: You are allowed to protest against civilian deaths. That is
- 40:38Speaker 4: totally legitimate. When you demonstrate protest on October the seventh,
- 40:43Speaker 4: the anniversary of a terror attack. You are only doing
- 40:48Speaker 4: so to signal your support for that terror attack. And
- 40:52Speaker 4: look at the comments being said here, Oh, it was
- 40:54Speaker 4: a great day, et cetera, et cetera. They could not
- 40:56Speaker 4: have made it more obvious what they were saying today.
- 40:58Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not sure how much courage is required to
- 41:00Speaker 3: go into a music festival and kidnap young women.
- 41:04Speaker 2: The gentleman who said it.
- 41:05Speaker 3: Was a day of courage, you said there were only
- 41:07Speaker 3: three hundred people at this gathering in Lakember, but they
- 41:11Speaker 3: were boasting it was being live streamed to Gaza and
- 41:15Speaker 3: that was a big deal. So you've literally got people
- 41:19Speaker 3: in Australia having a time to celebrate a terrorist attack
- 41:24Speaker 3: and then boasting that it's being live streamed to the
- 41:27Speaker 3: place where people are still to this day being held
- 41:31Speaker 3: hostages and these around neighbors in Western Sydney.
- 41:34Speaker 5: It's hard to believe this.
- 41:36Speaker 6: Sheik Ibrahim Dadoune, who addressed the crowd, has described October
- 41:41Speaker 6: seven as a day of courage. He called Israel a
- 41:45Speaker 6: bastard state of the West, and he said, in what
- 41:48Speaker 6: sounds like a rallying cry on what was the worst
- 41:53Speaker 6: day for Israel since World War Two, since the Holocaust.
- 41:58Speaker 5: He said, quote, victim is coming soon. End quote.
- 42:03Speaker 6: So the very fact that you're stating that on the
- 42:06Speaker 6: anniversary of this horrendous day, it does smack of rallying
- 42:13Speaker 6: the troops, a rallying cry, and even a hint of repetition.
- 42:20Speaker 6: For you to say victory is coming soon. How else
- 42:23Speaker 6: can you interpret what this man has said?
- 42:26Speaker 3: And just on that, the other thing he said, which
- 42:27Speaker 3: should be a warning to many of our media outlets
- 42:30Speaker 3: and to the Labor Party, he also boasted that we
- 42:32Speaker 3: are winning the public relations battle, which shame on our
- 42:37Speaker 3: institutions and our politicians that those who are clearly supporting
- 42:42Speaker 3: terrorists can boast publicly We've got the media and we've
- 42:45Speaker 3: got the key institutions on our side.
- 42:48Speaker 4: Yes, Well, next time they stand up and call for
- 42:50Speaker 4: a cease fire, just to replay the comments here, you know,
- 42:52Speaker 4: victory is nih victory is nigh. Well, you don't have
- 42:54Speaker 4: a victory if you have a cease fire, do you.
- 42:57Speaker 4: Another story on the front of the Odds Tomorrow, death
- 43:00Speaker 4: of despair and obesity hit out under fifties. The so
- 43:04Speaker 4: called deaths of Despair dragon, alcohol related deaths plus suicide
- 43:08Speaker 4: and rising obesity rates that rival those in the US
- 43:11Speaker 4: have seen life expectancy for Australians under fifty stagnate for
- 43:16Speaker 4: the past five decades. This is a new study that's
- 43:19Speaker 4: come out said that Australians at older ages, especially men,
- 43:22Speaker 4: are living longer, but younger cohorts are falling behind many
- 43:26Speaker 4: other non English speaking high income countries because we live
- 43:31Speaker 4: terrible lifestyles now, I mean, how can this not be
- 43:34Speaker 4: so obvious. We're completely set andry, We're locked onto these
- 43:39Speaker 4: things all of the time. Kids now don't go out
- 43:42Speaker 4: and play in the street and they're all hold up
- 43:45Speaker 4: at home in their bedrooms, playing on their devices, etc.
- 43:48Speaker 4: We eat worse than we've ever eaten. I mean, we
- 43:50Speaker 4: live in this world that is so rich and wealthy,
- 43:53Speaker 4: richer and wealthier than we've ever been. But I think
- 43:56Speaker 4: in many ways we've lost a lot of our wealth
- 43:59Speaker 4: in our health because we've adapted our lifestyles into a
- 44:02Speaker 4: way that is not good for the human body.
- 44:04Speaker 2: It's interesting.
- 44:05Speaker 3: It's also as well as everything you've mentioned, it's also
- 44:07Speaker 3: I think the social disconnection. It's more of a problem
- 44:10Speaker 3: amongst men as they get towards fifty, being dislocated from
- 44:13Speaker 3: family and other things like that. So you can bind
- 44:15Speaker 3: those two things together, then you get what the paper
- 44:18Speaker 3: calling deaths of despair, where especially men approaching fifty, start
- 44:22Speaker 3: to engage in behaviors to I guess compensate for other
- 44:25Speaker 3: losses in their life that then has an adverse effect
- 44:28Speaker 3: on their health.
- 44:28Speaker 6: Yeah, and then you look at the quality of our food,
- 44:31Speaker 6: riddled with pfas, riddled with microplastics. That more and more
- 44:35Speaker 6: the science is piling up saying we've got a real
- 44:38Speaker 6: problem on our hands here. People's bodies are riddled with
- 44:40Speaker 6: this stuff and it's showing up later in life. There's
- 44:43Speaker 6: a reason why the US spend two one hundred and
- 44:46Speaker 6: fifty billion dollars every single year on what they say
- 44:50Speaker 6: is the side effects on people's bodies of constantly consuming
- 44:54Speaker 6: this stuff. We know that even the veggies and fruits
- 44:57Speaker 6: we buy do not have the nutrients value of the
- 45:01Speaker 6: same apple or carrot ten to fifteen years ago. Nothing
- 45:06Speaker 6: is being done to address just those everyday things, our
- 45:10Speaker 6: drinking water, et cetera, and so on. A lot of
- 45:13Speaker 6: people aren't even aware of just how badly they're doing
- 45:17Speaker 6: by their health because we're being let down by government
- 45:20Speaker 6: and even kids in school these days, they aren't taught about.
- 45:24Speaker 5: The importance of exercise.
- 45:25Speaker 6: They aren't taught about the fact that these things are
- 45:29Speaker 6: a lifelong investment. You don't want to hit forty five
- 45:32Speaker 6: and suddenly start caring about your fitness and your health
- 45:35Speaker 6: and your cholesterol levels.
- 45:37Speaker 5: They're just not taught about how.
- 45:40Speaker 6: Just irreplaceably important this is and that it will affect
- 45:44Speaker 6: you for the rest of your life.
- 45:45Speaker 4: And of course, once upon a time you had to
- 45:46Speaker 4: do a lot more manual labor just to get anything done.
- 45:50Speaker 4: Now you can just do everything at the touch of
- 45:51Speaker 4: a button. Before we go, how good is this story?
- 45:54Speaker 4: Absurd research gets taxpayer millions. A three year university research
- 45:59Speaker 4: project seeking to disprove the protectionist myth that Australia is
- 46:03Speaker 4: an island continent girt Bye Sea, has been awarded nearly
- 46:07Speaker 4: five hundred thousand dollars in tax bay of funding as
- 46:10Speaker 4: part of a grant program that no longer has government vetos.
- 46:15Speaker 4: I mean what we need research into whether we are
- 46:18Speaker 4: a continent island surrounded by sea. He's another contract. I
- 46:22Speaker 4: wont give me that five hundred grand I can rather
- 46:25Speaker 4: report on that.
- 46:26Speaker 2: We're going to go to a break when we come back.
- 46:28Speaker 3: A woman applies for a job in nineteen seventy six
- 46:30Speaker 3: gets a reply just this week.
- 46:32Speaker 2: It's coming up in a moment.
- 46:37Speaker 3: Well, if you've applied for a job recently and you're
- 46:39Speaker 3: getting a little bit worried because you haven't heard back,
- 46:42Speaker 3: take heart.
- 46:42Speaker 2: It could be a lot lot worse.
- 46:44Speaker 3: Tissy Hodson applied for a job as a motorcycle stunt
- 46:47Speaker 3: rider in nineteen seventy six and had her application returned
- 46:52Speaker 3: to her just this week, which was a bit of
- 46:55Speaker 3: a pity because she was in her early twenties when
- 46:57Speaker 3: she applied to be a stunt motorcycle rider. Now she's
- 46:59Speaker 3: in her seventies and probably not as able. The post
- 47:03Speaker 3: office apologized, saying they found the response down behind a
- 47:08Speaker 3: chest of draws tissiods, and said how they found me
- 47:11Speaker 3: when I've moved house fifty odd times and even moved
- 47:14Speaker 3: countries four or five times is a mystery. It means
- 47:17Speaker 3: so much to me to get it back all this
- 47:19Speaker 3: time later. I remember very clearly sitting in my flat
- 47:22Speaker 3: in London typing the letter every day. I looked for
- 47:26Speaker 3: my post but there was nothing there and I was
- 47:28Speaker 3: so disappointed because I really really wanted to be a
- 47:30Speaker 3: stunt rider on a motorcycle. Well, she didn't let the
- 47:35Speaker 3: lack of response.
- 47:36Speaker 2: Get to her.
- 47:36Speaker 3: She ended up going to Africa, where she became a
- 47:39Speaker 3: snake handler and later on became an aerobatic pilot. So
- 47:42Speaker 3: it worked out all right. She wasn't a motorcycle rider,
- 47:46Speaker 3: you know. Back in nineteen seventy six Live, she said,
- 47:48Speaker 3: I deliberately didn't put on my application that I was
- 47:50Speaker 3: female because I didn't want that to count again.
- 47:53Speaker 2: And I also put in.
- 47:54Speaker 3: My application I am happy to break every bone in
- 47:57Speaker 3: my body if that's what it takes. I just want
- 47:59Speaker 3: this what could have been able only the postal service
- 48:03Speaker 3: had got the response back to her in time.
- 48:05Speaker 5: Better late than never.
- 48:07Speaker 6: But before we leave you tonight, there's a new book
- 48:10Speaker 6: out called The Achievements.
- 48:11Speaker 5: Of Kamala Harris.
- 48:12Speaker 6: It's already achieved bestseller status on Amazon and racked up
- 48:16Speaker 6: a flurry of five star reviews. There's just one catch.
- 48:21Speaker 6: Check out this video that's gone viral showcasing the book.
- 48:26Speaker 6: So far, over two million people worldwide have watched this.
- 48:29Speaker 5: See if you can guess why in my time? You
- 48:46Speaker 5: kidding me.
- 48:51Speaker 6: Now, that's what I call a brutally honest read.
- 48:55Speaker 4: I love.
- 48:56Speaker 6: I thought that was pretty I've gone to the effort
- 48:58Speaker 6: of publishing this.
- 48:59Speaker 2: I thought was impressive. I was actually expecting a lot less.
- 49:02Speaker 4: That's a very good There were actually chapter titles in there.
- 49:05Speaker 4: What they were, we don't actually know. It reminds me
- 49:07Speaker 4: John Laws apparently has a book in his library at
- 49:10Speaker 4: home entitled All My Friends in Radio And when you
- 49:13Speaker 4: open it up, all the pages.
- 49:14Speaker 2: Of LA that's it from us. But stick around the
- 49:17Speaker 2: coming up just to read a Penney show that's up
- 49:19Speaker 2: in a moment.
