- 0:02Speaker 1: Welcome to the Late de Bait.
- 0:06Speaker 2: Well, good evening.
- 0:07Speaker 3: I'm James Macpherson with Joe Hildebrand and Danika to Georgio
- 0:10Speaker 3: on the Late Debate.
- 0:11Speaker 2: Dedanika, how was your day?
- 0:13Speaker 4: I had a really busy day actually, but you know
- 0:16Speaker 4: I'm still here and we're still going.
- 0:19Speaker 5: How about you.
- 0:20Speaker 3: I had a pretty good day actually, to be honest.
- 0:22Speaker 3: So I spent all day running my son around. He's
- 0:24Speaker 3: trying to organize his passport and yeah, we had a
- 0:28Speaker 3: few problems with.
- 0:29Speaker 5: You going overseas. You haven't told us.
- 0:31Speaker 3: Now he's going overseas. I'm trying to organize his passport.
- 0:34Speaker 3: But I tell you what, it was hours and hours
- 0:36Speaker 3: of running around trying to organize.
- 0:37Speaker 1: Next time, just ask to borrow my car. You don't
- 0:40Speaker 1: have to run.
- 0:41Speaker 3: Oh I've actually seen your car and there wouldn't be
- 0:44Speaker 3: much different, So I don't reckon.
- 0:46Speaker 2: That's what I'm running.
- 0:48Speaker 1: Come on, that's the falcon you're talking about.
- 0:51Speaker 2: Here's what's coming up tonight.
- 0:53Speaker 3: A physically healthy actress with a self described embarrassment of
- 0:56Speaker 3: riches begs a court to let her die should her
- 1:00Speaker 3: quest be approved. The Victorian government cuts law and order
- 1:03Speaker 3: programs by a billion dollars as the state's crime rate
- 1:06Speaker 3: continues to surge. And what do you make of moves
- 1:08Speaker 3: to ban airport lounges from serving.
- 1:10Speaker 2: Alcohol before morning flights.
- 1:13Speaker 3: Is it a triumph for public health or is it
- 1:15Speaker 3: a cruel and unusual punishment for anyone who's boarding pass
- 1:17Speaker 3: says Row forty three seat b But first, preschool teachers
- 1:21Speaker 3: in Wales that have been told to watch out for
- 1:24Speaker 3: bigotry amongst the toddlers in their care.
- 1:26Speaker 2: Kindy teachers have been told to call.
- 1:28Speaker 3: Nine nine nine if they suspect a racist incident has
- 1:32Speaker 3: taken place, and to record details of any interaction between tots,
- 1:35Speaker 3: presumably between nap time and snack time that could potentially
- 1:40Speaker 3: be a hate crime. To assist in this noble mission,
- 1:43Speaker 3: childcare centers have been issued taxpayer funded guidance on how
- 1:46Speaker 3: to transform their nurseries into fully compliant anti racist environments.
- 1:52Speaker 3: Childcare centers are being advised to and I quote make
- 1:55Speaker 3: sure your anti racist stance is visible in your displays, celebrations,
- 1:59Speaker 3: po welcome boards, publicity snacks, books, music, role play, dress ups, toys,
- 2:05Speaker 3: and other resources. The guidance comes from a government funded organization,
- 2:10Speaker 3: of course, called diversity and anti racist professional learning. It's
- 2:14Speaker 3: part of the Welsh government's commitment to make Wales an
- 2:17Speaker 3: anti racist nation by twenty thirty.
- 2:22Speaker 4: Yeah, so I was actually looking up this anti racist
- 2:25Speaker 4: thing and it's a plan where librarians have been told
- 2:28Speaker 4: to challenge quote the paradigm of whiteness.
- 2:30Speaker 5: So that just sort of sets up.
- 2:32Speaker 4: The same my least favorite paradigm, right, my least favorite paradigm.
- 2:36Speaker 4: So are we seriously suggesting that children could be possibly
- 2:40Speaker 4: criminals before they even learn their ABC's Is this where
- 2:44Speaker 4: we're actually going? I was having a look at the
- 2:47Speaker 4: criteria which would meet a racist threshold.
- 2:51Speaker 5: It says, is this a racist incident?
- 2:55Speaker 4: And then one of the answers is yes, take relevant
- 2:57Speaker 4: action in conjunction with local police, ensuring you record all
- 3:01Speaker 4: the details of the incident. Are we seriously at that
- 3:04Speaker 4: point in Wales? Look, this is just absolutely ridiculous, especially
- 3:08Speaker 4: like us. There's such a youth crime crisis going over
- 3:11Speaker 4: I'm going on in Britain right now that if you're
- 3:14Speaker 4: going to go after youths, maybe have a look at
- 3:16Speaker 4: the youth crime crisis, not going after toddlers. Were they
- 3:18Speaker 4: going to say the difference between black and white of racist.
- 3:21Speaker 5: That's racist.
- 3:23Speaker 1: I think they're actually going after youth crime, but going
- 3:26Speaker 1: straight to the source. They're getting their youth when they're
- 3:28Speaker 1: two or three years old, now earlier, try and resist
- 3:33Speaker 1: a arrest.
- 3:33Speaker 3: Train midwives to look for bigotry, and Milbourne will develop
- 3:36Speaker 3: an ultrasound in the wood.
- 3:39Speaker 4: If the kid is born with no hair, that's then
- 3:42Speaker 4: that must be racist.
- 3:43Speaker 1: I love I love how they say they've got their goal,
- 3:44Speaker 1: though they've got the timelines. We're going to be racism free.
- 3:48Speaker 1: Twenty third is like net zero racism, and so I
- 3:52Speaker 1: just I can't wait until. Quite frankly, I can't wait
- 3:55Speaker 1: until twenty thirty one, because you'll be driving along down
- 3:58Speaker 1: to Cardiff, you know, and you'll see the sign I'll say,
- 4:01Speaker 1: welcome to Wales Racism Freeze.
- 4:06Speaker 5: Because of the paradigm.
- 4:07Speaker 1: They could have one of those things I remember they
- 4:08Speaker 1: have one of those things like at the ambos or
- 4:10Speaker 1: the office where you have your number of days without
- 4:14Speaker 1: without races, a number of days without a racist interest.
- 4:17Speaker 1: It's back to zero again. Someone brought their white paradigm
- 4:21Speaker 1: into the office.
- 4:22Speaker 3: This guidance goes beyond looking for bigotry between toddlers preschool
- 4:28Speaker 3: teachers have been asked to conduct an audit of themselves
- 4:31Speaker 3: to see whether or not they understand their white privilege.
- 4:35Speaker 3: They've been advised that, and I'm quoting here, toilet practices
- 4:39Speaker 3: vary across cultures. They may be very different from your own,
- 4:42Speaker 3: but it doesn't make them unsanitary or incorrect.
- 4:45Speaker 2: So they're being.
- 4:46Speaker 3: Advised to exercise tolerance when it comes to different ways
- 4:50Speaker 3: kids might have in terms of going to the toilet.
- 4:53Speaker 3: And they've also been asked to conduct a risk assessment
- 4:57Speaker 3: for I would have called them minority staff members, but
- 5:02Speaker 3: they call them members of the global majority, to see
- 5:06Speaker 3: whether or not they will be safe during a time
- 5:08Speaker 3: of unprecedented political turmoil. So I would think preschool teachers
- 5:13Speaker 3: have got enough going on without doing all.
- 5:15Speaker 5: They're also toddlers, for goodness, say, but also when you
- 5:18Speaker 5: talk about.
- 5:18Speaker 1: The understaff titles, they're members of a global majority, clearly.
- 5:21Speaker 4: But when you're talking about unsanitary toilet practices, it is
- 5:24Speaker 4: not racist to say, look, look, we need to improve
- 5:27Speaker 4: the hygiene.
- 5:27Speaker 5: There's nothing wrong with that. Is that racist?
- 5:29Speaker 2: Well, according to the guidelines that look, this is.
- 5:33Speaker 4: This is ideological poisoning of children's brains.
- 5:36Speaker 5: This just goes too far. This is now ridiculous.
- 5:39Speaker 3: One of the problems I would see here is is
- 5:41Speaker 3: it would be very easy to misinterpret normal, playful childhood
- 5:45Speaker 3: behavior as somehow you've crossed a line, you've entered into racism.
- 5:51Speaker 3: That would be a problem, And it also undermines the
- 5:53Speaker 3: relationship between parents and staff, does it not. When you
- 5:57Speaker 3: check little Johnny into his preschool and the teacher is
- 6:01Speaker 3: not just there to you know, help educate him and
- 6:04Speaker 3: play games, but also to watch and observe and to
- 6:07Speaker 3: report to police any comments little Johnny makes, it could
- 6:11Speaker 3: be considered questionable.
- 6:12Speaker 1: Well, the first thing I mean, and this is why
- 6:14Speaker 1: it is so realiots you have to wonder whether the
- 6:16Speaker 1: people who have designed these things even had children, let
- 6:20Speaker 1: alone work with them. Firstly, as soon as you say
- 6:24Speaker 1: keep an eye out for this, you're going to see
- 6:26Speaker 1: it everywhere, and you're going to be so you will
- 6:28Speaker 1: be finding racism in everything. Inevitably, the whole thing is
- 6:32Speaker 1: going to be swamped with complaints, and it will be
- 6:34Speaker 1: the most insufferable people who complain the most, and so
- 6:36Speaker 1: that will suck up all of the resources. And meanwhile,
- 6:39Speaker 1: you know someone's probably going to stick their head in
- 6:41Speaker 1: a microwave and not be noticed because everyone's too busy
- 6:43Speaker 1: looking for racism around the place. But the second thing
- 6:46Speaker 1: is is that kids will instantly pick up on these
- 6:50Speaker 1: things and they will use that as a way to
- 6:54Speaker 1: get the results they want you in any other circumstances.
- 6:58Speaker 1: So for example, I know from you know, my kids
- 7:00Speaker 1: at primary school, kindergarten, whatever, they're super aware of the racism,
- 7:05Speaker 1: and so of course anything they don't like anytime they
- 7:08Speaker 1: get told off, miss that's racist, you're being racist. Myths
- 7:11Speaker 1: you can't do that. They're very cheeky, they're very clever
- 7:14Speaker 1: the way they use it. Or of course they will do,
- 7:18Speaker 1: you know, using his excuse for any bad behavior. If
- 7:20Speaker 1: their bad behavior is ever criticized, or if they're in
- 7:23Speaker 1: a conflict with any other kids in the school ground,
- 7:26Speaker 1: they know they can just say, oh, you're being racist,
- 7:28Speaker 1: and suddenly that's it. And so you actually now have
- 7:31Speaker 1: and I've seen, you know, I know from blo kids
- 7:35Speaker 1: at school, there have been situations where the teachers are
- 7:38Speaker 1: now having just it's like a star chamber. The teachers
- 7:40Speaker 1: are now having is like no, no, no, I'm not racist.
- 7:42Speaker 1: I'm just telling you to know, shut up and do
- 7:45Speaker 1: your work.
- 7:45Speaker 5: Because everyone's panicked.
- 7:46Speaker 4: Now, the other point I would make is kids do
- 7:48Speaker 4: say the dunnest things, right. You know a kid will say, oh,
- 7:51Speaker 4: he's bald, he's black. Does that Is that going to
- 7:54Speaker 4: constitute racism?
- 7:55Speaker 5: Now?
- 7:56Speaker 3: Well, I mean you've met my kids. I've got to
- 7:57Speaker 3: adopt a Ethiopian sons. Joe was about four years old,
- 8:01Speaker 3: I think maybe three. You got into bed one morning
- 8:03Speaker 3: he said, Daddy, we're not the same. I said, what
- 8:05Speaker 3: do you mean? He said, I'm chocolate? I said what
- 8:08Speaker 3: am I? He goes, hmm, you're vanilla? Is that racist?
- 8:12Speaker 5: Well you should call that nine? Was it nine to
- 8:14Speaker 5: nine to nine?
- 8:14Speaker 3: If I was in Wales, that's the emergency number nine
- 8:17Speaker 3: and report a hate incident?
- 8:20Speaker 5: And no you also, yeah, call police as well.
- 8:22Speaker 3: Well, well it was a hate incident. When we went
- 8:24Speaker 3: to the beach, I got sunburned. He said, Dad, you're
- 8:26Speaker 3: not vanilla, your strawberry. I felt like that that was vilification.
- 8:30Speaker 1: So between you all, you could be a carton of Neapolitan.
- 8:32Speaker 2: Ice cream exactly.
- 8:33Speaker 1: Yes, see that that is the rainbow that I think
- 8:36Speaker 1: we need to see more of.
- 8:38Speaker 5: Yeah, I think so too.
- 8:39Speaker 4: Well, look, do you at all at home, like a
- 8:42Speaker 4: pre holiday pint.
- 8:44Speaker 5: You know, when you rock up to the airport, you're
- 8:46Speaker 5: all excited.
- 8:46Speaker 4: To board your flight and you go get I'm going
- 8:48Speaker 4: to reward myself before my holiday. I'm going to order
- 8:51Speaker 4: a beer, even if it is at six am or
- 8:54Speaker 4: seven am. Well, the CEO of Ryanair, which is a
- 8:58Speaker 4: budget character carrier over in the UK and Europe, it
- 9:01Speaker 4: flies those little short flights, he wants the pre flight
- 9:06Speaker 4: pint at six or seven am to be banned because
- 9:10Speaker 4: he says that there are too many passengers being booted
- 9:13Speaker 4: off flights because they are absolutely drunk. Michael O'Leary says, quote,
- 9:18Speaker 4: I fail to understand why anybody in airport bars.
- 9:22Speaker 5: Is serving people at.
- 9:23Speaker 4: Five or six o'clock in the morning. Who needs to
- 9:26Speaker 4: be drinking beer at that time?
- 9:29Speaker 5: Well, clearly, Michael, you.
- 9:30Speaker 1: Never met my family.
- 9:31Speaker 4: Michael O'Leary's never never had a pint, clearly at six
- 9:34Speaker 4: am in the morning. Look, I agree in that if
- 9:40Speaker 4: and I think this is standard practice across all airlines.
- 9:43Speaker 4: If you are indeed plasted, you should not be allowed
- 9:46Speaker 4: on the flight, And if you have caused a rucus
- 9:49Speaker 4: on said flight, then you should never be allowed to
- 9:52Speaker 4: fly with that carrier again, I think that that should
- 9:54Speaker 4: be an automatic ban because he says that the go
- 10:00Speaker 4: he has to dive. They have to divert almost one
- 10:02Speaker 4: aircraft a day because of bad behavior by passengers. So
- 10:05Speaker 4: why don't you start enforcing rules and just let the British.
- 10:09Speaker 5: Tradition go roll on for goodness sake.
- 10:12Speaker 4: I just think, you know, we can't ban things because
- 10:16Speaker 4: of the behavior of a small number of people, because
- 10:20Speaker 4: then if we start going down that route, that we're
- 10:22Speaker 4: going to start banning everything for goodness.
- 10:24Speaker 2: But I'm with you on this.
- 10:25Speaker 3: However, one flight a week diverted because of unruly passengers,
- 10:30Speaker 3: that's all they Betha.
- 10:31Speaker 4: Let's be honest. The flights that are being diverted are
- 10:33Speaker 4: to Betha.
- 10:35Speaker 3: I mean, so, if you're plastered before the flight takes off,
- 10:39Speaker 3: you should not be allowed on the flight. Clearly, if
- 10:42Speaker 3: you're exhibiting signs of intoxication on the flight, they should
- 10:46Speaker 3: stop serving you. But what about this, Joe, Should you
- 10:49Speaker 3: be allowed to drink alcohol if you're sitting in the
- 10:50Speaker 3: exit row?
- 10:52Speaker 1: M A. Absolutely, because you're going to be the one
- 10:54Speaker 1: who sees all the flames lapping up at the window
- 10:57Speaker 1: first and has to have the Dutch courage to actually
- 11:00Speaker 1: open the thing and get everybody out there. So yes,
- 11:04Speaker 1: absolutely that those are the people who should, without a
- 11:06Speaker 1: doubt be the drunkest, because otherwise I just go It's.
- 11:09Speaker 3: Not the answer I was expecting. But then again, I
- 11:11Speaker 3: did ask you. That's you to come back to me,
- 11:13Speaker 3: so serves you, right. I think firstly, in the airports,
- 11:19Speaker 3: there is no such thing as time. The normal rules
- 11:22Speaker 3: of time simply do not apply. So it is the
- 11:25Speaker 3: only place where you can have a drink in the
- 11:28Speaker 3: morning and not get you know, funny looks, as I
- 11:30Speaker 3: found out the hard way.
- 11:33Speaker 1: And it is also and there's also I think like
- 11:36Speaker 1: it's a time honored ritual, isn't it. It's like people
- 11:39Speaker 1: if they're a bit worried about flying or whatever, or
- 11:42Speaker 1: you just I mean, it's ryan air, for the love
- 11:44Speaker 1: of God, It's not going to be the most comfortable
- 11:46Speaker 1: flight of your life. I think these are the guys
- 11:48Speaker 1: who did it, who launched inquiry into whether or not
- 11:51Speaker 1: you could do flights with standing room only sort of
- 11:55Speaker 1: just holding onto a strap or just leaning against a
- 11:57Speaker 1: bench like a metro. Yeah, so there's a super so
- 12:00Speaker 1: you know you're going to want And I'm not sure
- 12:03Speaker 1: if I'm misremembered, but I think there was also a
- 12:05Speaker 1: talk about whether or not you needed toilets on flights,
- 12:08Speaker 1: because hey, we don't have toilets on buses or commuter
- 12:11Speaker 1: trains or metros, so why do we have them on
- 12:14Speaker 1: flights now? If you're going to get rid of the toilets,
- 12:17Speaker 1: I agree, maybe ban the pints before you take off.
- 12:21Speaker 1: But failing that, it's a pretty cattle class experience. You
- 12:25Speaker 1: probably want as much anesthesia and aesthesia as you could get,
- 12:29Speaker 1: wouldn't you want?
- 12:30Speaker 5: Okay, Like, I've flown right there quite a few times.
- 12:33Speaker 4: It's not the best, but who cares when you're on
- 12:36Speaker 4: such a short flight?
- 12:37Speaker 1: Who cares if you're pasted?
- 12:39Speaker 4: If I'm off to the Greek Islands, I'm in a
- 12:42Speaker 4: bloody great mood. I don't care what carrier it is.
- 12:44Speaker 4: I'm just ready to launch.
- 12:46Speaker 1: Do you have pre flight drinks? Do you get in
- 12:48Speaker 1: the airport bar? And six?
- 12:50Speaker 4: I don't drink, but I do agree with your point
- 12:52Speaker 4: about time because you go.
- 12:55Speaker 5: I mean, we spoke last night about Starbucks.
- 12:57Speaker 4: The only time you'll ever find me at a Starbucks
- 13:00Speaker 4: is when you're at the airport and I'll get the
- 13:01Speaker 4: double frappe with all the fillings and all the the
- 13:04Speaker 4: prappuccino brigade. But because you do it's you lose all
- 13:08Speaker 4: sense of time and you end up just eating rubbish.
- 13:10Speaker 4: But you know, yolo, as the young people say, you
- 13:13Speaker 4: only live once.
- 13:15Speaker 5: I want to looking at me ever ever say that
- 13:18Speaker 5: ever again?
- 13:18Speaker 1: I want to buy thirty seven dollars pint the airport then,
- 13:21Speaker 1: damn it, that's my right.
- 13:23Speaker 2: How many flights have been diverted because of your behavior?
- 13:26Speaker 4: Yeah, because I've said yolo.
- 13:30Speaker 3: All right, I want to get your thoughts on a
- 13:32Speaker 3: model who was part of the met Gala ball the
- 13:36Speaker 3: other night. This is transgendered, disabled black model Aaron Rose Philip,
- 13:43Speaker 3: who incidentally is the first ever and only transgendered disabled
- 13:48Speaker 3: black model to have a major modeling contract and has
- 13:53Speaker 3: modeled on catwalks for different fashion labels.
- 13:57Speaker 2: Aaron, as he himself.
- 14:02Speaker 3: Well, he says that the reason there's not more models
- 14:06Speaker 3: like him is because whiteness have a listen.
- 14:10Speaker 6: The fashion industry is unlikely to book or pay black, transfeminine,
- 14:16Speaker 6: and or physically disabled models to do runway, editorial or
- 14:21Speaker 6: campaign because of an absence of whiteness.
- 14:27Speaker 1: You know what she was. If she had grown up
- 14:30Speaker 1: in a Welsh nursery with an anti racism campaign, think
- 14:34Speaker 1: about how well her life could have turned out. This
- 14:36Speaker 1: is why we need action on racism, James.
- 14:39Speaker 3: Is it really because there's an absence of whiteness in
- 14:43Speaker 3: these spaces or is it just because blacks represent thirteen
- 14:46Speaker 3: percent of the population in the US, So naturally there's
- 14:49Speaker 3: not going to be many black models. Wheelchair wheelchair bound
- 14:53Speaker 3: people represent one percent of the population in the US,
- 14:57Speaker 3: so a black person in a wheelchair, and then if
- 15:00Speaker 3: you add trans to that as well, there's just not
- 15:03Speaker 3: a huge market for people like this to be modeling fashion.
- 15:06Speaker 3: It's not discrimination, it's it's market forces.
- 15:09Speaker 2: Is it not?
- 15:10Speaker 4: Well, what I would say is sex cells part in
- 15:14Speaker 4: the pun, part of the pun on this one.
- 15:16Speaker 5: Sex cells. Now, I'm going to be completely blunt.
- 15:20Speaker 4: If there was a bloke in a magazine wearing a
- 15:22Speaker 4: dress promoting such said said outfit, I wouldn't buy it.
- 15:27Speaker 4: I will not buy a dress when a bloke is
- 15:30Speaker 4: wearing trying to sell it to me.
- 15:31Speaker 5: No, I wouldn't. I wouldn't.
- 15:33Speaker 3: There are a lot of blokes wearing dresses at the
- 15:35Speaker 3: met gala the other.
- 15:36Speaker 4: Yeah, but that doesn't sell. So it's got nothing to
- 15:38Speaker 4: do with whiteness. Again, this rage baiting, race baiting, hullabaloo.
- 15:43Speaker 4: We're here every five minutes. It is simple fact that
- 15:46Speaker 4: that does not sell products. So no, you're not going
- 15:49Speaker 4: to find trans you know, the rest of the Pilava,
- 15:54Speaker 4: the Dei.
- 15:55Speaker 5: Nonsense. You're not going to find that on a catwalk.
- 15:57Speaker 5: You're not going to find that a catwalk.
- 16:00Speaker 1: Not, that's very ablest.
- 16:02Speaker 5: Well, I did you know what I mean?
- 16:04Speaker 1: I can't it be a cat that's not with everybody.
- 16:07Speaker 4: Oh gosh, I'm just stuck in a comment. But you
- 16:09Speaker 4: know it's true that that does not sell. It doesn't sell.
- 16:13Speaker 4: I'm not going to buy a dress when a man's
- 16:15Speaker 4: wearing it in a magazine.
- 16:16Speaker 5: Please.
- 16:17Speaker 1: Yeah. I think although the fashion industry has been very
- 16:21Speaker 1: progressive and forward thinking when it comes to it, like
- 16:23Speaker 1: they were the first to put men in dresses. I
- 16:26Speaker 1: think they invented meggings, which was men's leggings, but I
- 16:29Speaker 1: remember meggs. Meggings. Have you not heard of meggings? No,
- 16:32Speaker 1: men's leggings. Have you worn it's meggis? No? But they
- 16:35Speaker 1: did the Daily Telegraph did want me to put on
- 16:39Speaker 1: a pair and then wander up and down the streets
- 16:42Speaker 1: of Penrith to see what happened. I said, I'll tell you.
- 16:46Speaker 2: I'll tell you what's happen tonight.
- 16:48Speaker 1: And that's why I'm not going to do it in
- 16:50Speaker 1: a million years. Anyway. That was a quite of any
- 16:53Speaker 1: bright ideas by a former editor who's no longer with us.
- 16:56Speaker 3: So just tell me that the comments by Aaron, what
- 17:00Speaker 3: do you make of it?
- 17:01Speaker 2: Is this just look at me, look at me?
- 17:03Speaker 3: I mean, Aaron has been modeling for about seven years now,
- 17:07Speaker 3: so this is not a new gig for him. But
- 17:10Speaker 3: is this just a way of garnering some attention at
- 17:13Speaker 3: the met gala where a lot of other celebrities were
- 17:16Speaker 3: getting attention.
- 17:16Speaker 2: I'd not heard of Aaron until Aaron made these cops.
- 17:18Speaker 4: So I just feel like there's a very a victim
- 17:22Speaker 4: narrative on the left and they've always got something to
- 17:25Speaker 4: winge about, always got some story.
- 17:28Speaker 2: That's their currency. Is it not that's.
- 17:29Speaker 4: Rights, but that's what they do that And especially if
- 17:33Speaker 4: you are black, it's like I feel like they think
- 17:37Speaker 4: that the world's against them, when the reality is is
- 17:39Speaker 4: that no one cares, No one cares.
- 17:42Speaker 1: But also, if you are the only it's like the
- 17:44Speaker 1: only day of the village for a little britten, isn't it.
- 17:46Speaker 1: Oh no, he's not gear. But if you are the
- 17:49Speaker 1: only black, trans disabled, wheelchair bound, wheelchair bound? Was there
- 17:53Speaker 1: another one model? Why would you want another one? Why
- 17:56Speaker 1: wouldn't you want to just soak up that whole market yourself?
- 18:01Speaker 1: I mean, I can't imagine there's that many jobs out there.
- 18:03Speaker 1: Surely you should be going non get out of get
- 18:06Speaker 1: out of here. I'm taking that one, thank.
- 18:07Speaker 2: You space for myself.
- 18:08Speaker 1: Yeah, make it rain, Make it rain, my friend.
- 18:11Speaker 4: Come on, think, think, think, think, Look, let's change pace
- 18:15Speaker 4: a little bit. A Canadian actress who has been considered
- 18:18Speaker 4: to be healthy physically and mentally, she has admitted quote
- 18:23Speaker 4: she has an embarrassment of riches and is now begging
- 18:27Speaker 4: a court to allow her to die via assisted suicide
- 18:31Speaker 4: because she says that she has a crippling mental illness.
- 18:34Speaker 4: This is Claire Brossu. She's forty nine years old, a
- 18:37Speaker 4: Montreal based actress. She has appeared in dozens of movies,
- 18:42Speaker 4: and she said that she hasn't left home in months
- 18:44Speaker 4: because of severe bipolar and post traumatic disorders, she said,
- 18:48Speaker 4: and I'm just going to read this quote.
- 18:49Speaker 5: It's unbearable.
- 18:50Speaker 4: Every morning I wake up, I don't think I'm going
- 18:53Speaker 4: to make it through the day. She said that she
- 18:55Speaker 4: was forced to seek assisted suicide when she failed multiple
- 18:58Speaker 4: past attempts to end her life, but now she's pushing
- 19:02Speaker 4: a court over in Canada to allow her to die
- 19:06Speaker 4: despite the fact that she has.
- 19:09Speaker 5: Been deemed physically healthy.
- 19:13Speaker 4: I have a few look, I am a supporter of
- 19:17Speaker 4: assisted suicide.
- 19:19Speaker 5: I do.
- 19:20Speaker 4: I'm all for euthanasia. However, I am only pro euthanasia
- 19:25Speaker 4: for people who are cripplingly, cripplingly ill, like they are
- 19:30Speaker 4: terminal ill. They are in pain every single day because
- 19:34Speaker 4: they can't talk, they can't walk, they have severe severe
- 19:40Speaker 4: illnesses or diseases. They are going to die anyway, and
- 19:43Speaker 4: they just cannot live out the last couple of months
- 19:45Speaker 4: or twelve months of their life.
- 19:47Speaker 5: I support that fully.
- 19:49Speaker 4: I do not support it if you have been deemed healthy,
- 19:53Speaker 4: that is absolute nonsense. And in this case, you know,
- 19:57Speaker 4: she says that she's got mental health orders. Go and
- 20:01Speaker 4: seek help, Go and seek assistance, Get the right people
- 20:04Speaker 4: around you so they where you can get better and
- 20:07Speaker 4: improve your quality of life. You are physically healthy, and
- 20:11Speaker 4: you should enjoy your time on this earth if you
- 20:13Speaker 4: have been deemed healthy, because there are a lot of
- 20:15Speaker 4: people who are on their deathbeds that are desperate to
- 20:19Speaker 4: diet for that.
- 20:19Speaker 1: Reason, I disagree completely. I think you cannot be pro euthanasia.
- 20:25Speaker 1: But then say, but I'm going to pick and choose
- 20:27Speaker 1: which euthanasia I'm pro? Why not the other?
- 20:30Speaker 5: Why?
- 20:31Speaker 1: Very simply because firstly, this is what people who are
- 20:34Speaker 1: concerned about the impact of legalizing euthanasia have been warning
- 20:37Speaker 1: about for years and years and years, which is that
- 20:40Speaker 1: if you say, all right, you know, own Victoria or
- 20:42Speaker 1: other states, there's guardrails around it. They say, you know,
- 20:45Speaker 1: you have to have only twelve months to live, and
- 20:47Speaker 1: of course no one can actually predict the future. But
- 20:49Speaker 1: a doctor says, oh, yes, you've got less than twelve
- 20:51Speaker 1: months to live. Fine, Well, that's all well and good,
- 20:54Speaker 1: But what if you have something that is even more
- 20:57Speaker 1: debilitating and you are going to have an even lot, longer,
- 21:00Speaker 1: more painful death. So sooner or later inevitably going to say, well,
- 21:04Speaker 1: I'm going to die anyway, but it's going to be
- 21:05Speaker 1: longer than twelve months, and that just means I'm going
- 21:08Speaker 1: to suffer more. And again, my greatest fear is not
- 21:11Speaker 1: physical suffering. When I get close to death, My greatest
- 21:13Speaker 1: fear is that I get Alzheimer's and that I or
- 21:17Speaker 1: some other brain fishing and I'm not the person I
- 21:19Speaker 1: was anymore. My family doesn't recognize me, my kids doesn't
- 21:22Speaker 1: recognize me. To me, imagining that is a fate worse
- 21:25Speaker 1: than death, and it would be a fate worse than
- 21:27Speaker 1: death because it would hurt them even more that it
- 21:29Speaker 1: would hurt me. So if I was going to embrace euthanasia,
- 21:34Speaker 1: it would be in the case of having lost my
- 21:37Speaker 1: mental capacity. But of course, if I've lost my mental capacity,
- 21:39Speaker 1: how can I possibly that, how can I possibly consent
- 21:42Speaker 1: to it? And so again, it just creates these things
- 21:44Speaker 1: over and over again. So if you speak to someone
- 21:46Speaker 1: like Claire Brosseil, right, she's forty nine, she's Misswill and
- 21:49Speaker 1: lots of people with bipolar and severe bipolar, and I
- 21:52Speaker 1: know how difficult it is. I don't think it's fair
- 21:55Speaker 1: to say, oh, yes, okay, I support euthanasia if it's
- 21:59Speaker 1: for a physical ailment, But if it's for a mental
- 22:02Speaker 1: ailment where you are so tormented that you are trying
- 22:05Speaker 1: to kill yourself time and time again, and you know
- 22:08Speaker 1: that you're going to wake up every morning for thirty
- 22:10Speaker 1: years and start and start to think about how you
- 22:14Speaker 1: can do it again. I simply don't understand how you can.
- 22:18Speaker 1: You know, say, oh, I know it's fine if you've
- 22:20Speaker 1: got terminal cancer and you can't feel a thing because
- 22:22Speaker 1: you're on morphine every day. But it's not fine if
- 22:25Speaker 1: you're undergoing an absolutely living hell that you know you
- 22:27Speaker 1: are going to suffer for decades and decades.
- 22:30Speaker 5: Joe.
- 22:30Speaker 3: That's that's the point that she has made, and that's
- 22:32Speaker 3: the basis of her threatened legal action, is that she
- 22:37Speaker 3: is being discriminated against because people are saying physical ailment
- 22:41Speaker 3: that's fine, but a mental ailment no, you're not.
- 22:44Speaker 2: Allowed to access bad.
- 22:45Speaker 3: She says, well, who are you to discriminate against me
- 22:47Speaker 3: and tell me that my.
- 22:48Speaker 2: Pin that's right is somehow less either.
- 22:51Speaker 1: All life is precious, and you do not I.
- 22:53Speaker 3: Should know that Canadian euthanasia law has not outright banned
- 22:58Speaker 3: euthanasia for mental illness.
- 23:00Speaker 5: US.
- 23:00Speaker 3: What they've done is they've said, and they've said this
- 23:02Speaker 3: number of times now, we're going to delay making approval
- 23:06Speaker 3: of it, and they keep pushing the delay on and on,
- 23:09Speaker 3: so at the moment there's no approval for euthanasia with
- 23:14Speaker 3: regards mental illness until March next year, when it will
- 23:18Speaker 3: be considered again, so you know, they make up the
- 23:22Speaker 3: rules as they go. I agree with Joe. The underlying
- 23:24Speaker 3: principle is is it ever right for the state to
- 23:28Speaker 3: assist somebody in taking their own life? If you answer yes,
- 23:32Speaker 3: well then everything else is just.
- 23:35Speaker 1: It's detailed or you're not pro I have massive problems
- 23:40Speaker 1: with it. I know that it happens all the time
- 23:42Speaker 1: informally anyway, and I'm very comfortable with that doctors making
- 23:45Speaker 1: these decisions on the quiet. I'm deeply, deeply uncomfortable for
- 23:49Speaker 1: exactly this reason, with it being codified in legislation where
- 23:53Speaker 1: you set up under what circumstances someone can die and
- 23:59Speaker 1: someone can be assisted to die, Because as soon as
- 24:01Speaker 1: you do that, as sure as the sun rises in
- 24:03Speaker 1: the east and sets in the west, that that category
- 24:06Speaker 1: is going to expand and expand and expand. An want
- 24:09Speaker 1: to talk about bipolar.
- 24:10Speaker 4: I get that, No, I understand that it will expect
- 24:12Speaker 4: I just still feel like the only reason why you
- 24:16Speaker 4: would want to that you should be allowed to take
- 24:20Speaker 4: a drug or whatever to go to sleep. Is when
- 24:23Speaker 4: you are literally on your deathbed already.
- 24:26Speaker 1: But that's the whole point, because that's all that's all
- 24:28Speaker 1: ready death bed. It doesn't matter. It's who are you
- 24:30Speaker 1: to decide for her? If you've already said But if
- 24:34Speaker 1: you've already said, but this is the thing, if you've
- 24:37Speaker 1: already said, I'll give my consent or my support for
- 24:39Speaker 1: someone to die in this circumstance, but not my support
- 24:42Speaker 1: for someone to die. I just don't think that circumstances.
- 24:44Speaker 4: Look, I am pro euthanasia. I just don't think we
- 24:46Speaker 4: can just hand it out willing nearly. There has to
- 24:48Speaker 4: be a strong criteria otherwise every man and their dog
- 24:50Speaker 4: are going to sign up to it. And I am
- 24:52Speaker 4: very pro proe but obviously under the strictest of conditions.
- 24:55Speaker 4: That's that's that's all I can with that.
- 24:58Speaker 1: It's not alleviating the suffering that that people it's proponents say.
- 25:01Speaker 1: It's there to allievia.
- 25:02Speaker 4: But if a doctor has said that you are physically healthy,
- 25:04Speaker 4: then the to me you get crossed off the list.
- 25:06Speaker 2: You've reduced that you've reduced the into quality of life.
- 25:09Speaker 1: Right.
- 25:10Speaker 5: But if you are on your deathbeat.
- 25:13Speaker 1: So quality of life, so any mental illness, any brain
- 25:16Speaker 1: damage illness.
- 25:17Speaker 4: You are on your deathbed because you are you are
- 25:21Speaker 4: so so ill and you.
- 25:23Speaker 5: Are literally going to die.
- 25:24Speaker 1: And a doctor says, I can't die from a illness
- 25:26Speaker 1: unless you kill yourself, which is what that's true.
- 25:28Speaker 4: But I would trust a doctor's perspective in this, in
- 25:33Speaker 4: cases like this, and also them in the steps for euthanasia,
- 25:36Speaker 4: they're very, very strict. You have to go through a
- 25:37Speaker 4: lot of pro You don't just rock up one day
- 25:39Speaker 4: and get it, you know.
- 25:40Speaker 5: I just think I would. I would trust a doctor's opinion.
- 25:44Speaker 1: The doctors. There are pro choice doctors and there are
- 25:47Speaker 1: anti euthanasia doctors. This is the thing I like to
- 25:50Speaker 1: just say. It's a doctor like.
- 25:51Speaker 5: What and just just to just to before we move on.
- 25:55Speaker 4: Lifeline is available for anybody who needs it. Help is
- 25:58Speaker 4: available thirteen eleven fourteen or find support at www dot
- 26:02Speaker 4: lifeline dot org dot AU.
- 26:05Speaker 3: All right, let's talk about budgets, because of course, the
- 26:07Speaker 3: federal budget's about to be handed down. The Victorian budget
- 26:10Speaker 3: has just come out and they have slashed spending on
- 26:14Speaker 3: law and order by a billion dollars over the next
- 26:17Speaker 3: couple of years. Seven hundred million dollars next year will
- 26:20Speaker 3: be cut from Lauren Orris order spending at a time
- 26:23Speaker 3: when the crime rate continues to surge. So this would
- 26:27Speaker 3: be proof to Victorian voters all over again, as if
- 26:30Speaker 3: they needed it, that the government's really not that serious
- 26:33Speaker 3: about the things that matter. Eighty five percent of Victorians
- 26:36Speaker 3: are saying crime is the number one issue that they
- 26:39Speaker 3: have right now to determine their vote, and yet the
- 26:42Speaker 3: government is cutting spending on law and order as crime
- 26:46Speaker 3: rates continue to climb.
- 26:48Speaker 2: The great irony in this, of course.
- 26:49Speaker 3: Is that people will probably vote labor anyway, So try
- 26:53Speaker 3: and understand all of that. But this is a government
- 26:55Speaker 3: that spent thirteen million dollars you remember on Maschetti amnesty bins.
- 27:00Speaker 3: Now they need Jerrycan amnesty bins because of all the
- 27:02Speaker 3: fires that are being lit at nightclubs. It just goes
- 27:05Speaker 3: to show they had thirteen million dollars to spend when
- 27:08Speaker 3: they thought it would be good publicity and a good
- 27:11Speaker 3: photo opportunity for just Center Allen. But now that they're
- 27:14Speaker 3: handing down their budget, there's not much money left in
- 27:16Speaker 3: the coffers. All of a sudden, they're cutting programs, left,
- 27:19Speaker 3: right and center. It's just more evidence that Victoria desperately
- 27:23Speaker 3: needs a change of government.
- 27:25Speaker 5: Of all the programs to cut crime.
- 27:27Speaker 4: When crime is at peak levels in Victoria, youth crime
- 27:30Speaker 4: is spiraling out of control. And all I can put
- 27:32Speaker 4: it down to is because Justinto Allen once told everybody
- 27:36Speaker 4: in the state that Melbourne is safe.
- 27:37Speaker 1: So that you don't tell that time.
- 27:38Speaker 5: Then take your word, word, take your word.
- 27:41Speaker 4: You don't need any money, no money required, no funding
- 27:44Speaker 4: for police, no police on the beat.
- 27:46Speaker 5: Everything is safe. Look if you.
- 27:48Speaker 4: Were a Melbournian right now who are dealing with crime,
- 27:51Speaker 4: there are so many victims of crimes going on right now.
- 27:54Speaker 4: You see the CCTV vision every night on the news.
- 27:57Speaker 4: It is horrific, these masked bandits going in carjackings, home invasions,
- 28:03Speaker 4: old people being terrorized.
- 28:05Speaker 5: Wouldn't you be really angry right now.
- 28:08Speaker 4: To know that there's not even going to be any
- 28:09Speaker 4: funding in already a debt laden budget to try and
- 28:14Speaker 4: solve crime in this state. And the only solution, as
- 28:17Speaker 4: you said, James, is a machete bin.
- 28:19Speaker 1: I mean, seriously, the uncanny thing is that the seven
- 28:23Speaker 1: hundred million they're cutting from their public order and safety
- 28:27Speaker 1: budget is almost exactly the seven hundred men something million
- 28:32Speaker 1: surplus that they're desperately trying to get to that line alone.
- 28:37Speaker 2: Funny how two.
- 28:39Speaker 1: So perfectly, including the sort of fidd league with the
- 28:43Speaker 1: giant for decade lottery contract that's strangely kind of front
- 28:47Speaker 1: end loaded so as to balance the budget ahead of
- 28:51Speaker 1: an election. That's amazing. I mean, it's arguably the smartest
- 28:54Speaker 1: thing she's ever done.
- 28:56Speaker 5: Well, let's yeah, well, who knows.
- 28:58Speaker 4: Now you might remember the two thousand and seven disappearance
- 29:01Speaker 4: of Madeleine McCann will now a German suspect by the
- 29:09Speaker 4: name of Christian Bruckeiner. He cannot be extradited to Britain.
- 29:14Speaker 4: Would you believe to face trial because of Brexit? I mean,
- 29:19Speaker 4: you can't make this stuff up. That's according to German officials.
- 29:23Speaker 4: A German government spokesperson told the UK Telegraph the country
- 29:26Speaker 4: could not extradite criminal suspects to non EU countries under
- 29:30Speaker 4: strict rules in its post war constitution. Asked whether Brexit
- 29:35Speaker 4: in effect blocked the UK from extraditing sub suspects such
- 29:39Speaker 4: as this man, the spokesman said, yes.
- 29:41Speaker 5: That's the case.
- 29:42Speaker 4: The disclosure raises fears that Bruckena will never face justice
- 29:45Speaker 4: in Britain over Madeline, despite a renewed push by the
- 29:49Speaker 4: Metropolitan Police to secure this extradition. Now I'm not a mathematician,
- 29:54Speaker 4: but Brega that happened in two thousand and twenty and
- 29:57Speaker 4: Madeleine McCann went missing in tand and seven, so that
- 30:01Speaker 4: timeline in effect doesn't add up. And are we actually
- 30:04Speaker 4: saying that a German, for example, can go to the UK,
- 30:09Speaker 4: allegedly commit a crime, then go back to Germany but
- 30:13Speaker 4: never face any prosecution.
- 30:14Speaker 2: Because of where she disappeared in Portugal.
- 30:17Speaker 5: Portugal in two thousand and seven.
- 30:20Speaker 1: It doesn't matter when the crime has commit matters when
- 30:22Speaker 1: this guy was arrested so Germany. So he was arrested Germany,
- 30:27Speaker 1: Germany has it doesn't matter. It doesn't just matters where
- 30:30Speaker 1: it's at now, like when they try to get the correction.
- 30:34Speaker 2: So, which is what I don't understand. Why don't they give.
- 30:36Speaker 3: The evidence to the Portugal authorities issue a warrant for
- 30:41Speaker 3: his arrest in Portugal where there is an extradition treaty
- 30:44Speaker 3: with Germany, So they send him from Germany the Portugal
- 30:47Speaker 3: and he faces trial there.
- 30:48Speaker 1: I'm not sure. The McCanns or the British more generally
- 30:51Speaker 1: have the highest degree of faith in the Portuguese authorities.
- 30:54Speaker 1: They bugged it up already the history of the case.
- 30:57Speaker 1: But this is the this is the weird thing that
- 30:59Speaker 1: I didn't know until I read this story. So under
- 31:02Speaker 1: the German constitution, no German may be extradited to a
- 31:05Speaker 1: foreign country, except for EU member states or international courts
- 31:10Speaker 1: such as the Hay Going to international courts probably handy,
- 31:14Speaker 1: I mean, you know, in Nuremberg. But surely how does
- 31:18Speaker 1: Germany just get to say, especially with its history, get
- 31:21Speaker 1: to say I know no other country basically that isn't
- 31:27Speaker 1: part of the EU. Can we won't extradite to anyone?
- 31:30Speaker 1: How do we not get to go like, how long
- 31:32Speaker 1: has this been going? What happened, what happened after World
- 31:35Speaker 1: War one and two? As Norm MacDonald said, how come
- 31:37Speaker 1: the rest of the world and say, hey, Germany, you
- 31:39Speaker 1: don't get to be a country no more like and
- 31:42Speaker 1: you certainly don't get to say, oh, I know any
- 31:44Speaker 1: criminals who happen to be here, We're not going to
- 31:47Speaker 1: extradite them.
- 31:49Speaker 3: That's called sovereignty. You're criminal else to the side where
- 31:52Speaker 3: they do it, don't go.
- 31:53Speaker 1: It was national socialism before it was national sovereignty.
- 31:56Speaker 4: He says it in the constitution. No German may be
- 31:59Speaker 4: extradited to a foreign country.
- 32:01Speaker 5: That's extraordinary. That just doesn't happen anywhere else.
- 32:05Speaker 1: Well, it depends on like most countries have all sorts
- 32:07Speaker 1: of extradition deals with like minded countries, like we would
- 32:11Speaker 1: have an extradition deal with say the UK, for example,
- 32:14Speaker 1: or various other countries that we cooperate, even with Indonesia.
- 32:18Speaker 1: The Bali nine found that out the hard way. But
- 32:20Speaker 1: in terms of sharing information and you can, and there's
- 32:23Speaker 1: other countries where you can sort of apply and sometimes
- 32:25Speaker 1: treat on a case by case basis. I remember there
- 32:28Speaker 1: was a big thing with the UK where Pinochet went there.
- 32:32Speaker 1: Augusto Pinochet, the dictator of Chile, went to the UK
- 32:35Speaker 1: and there was a big who or do you go
- 32:37Speaker 1: to Spain? And then Spain tried to get him extradited
- 32:41Speaker 1: from the UK to Spain And that was a big
- 32:45Speaker 1: big in the national who art. But the point b
- 32:47Speaker 1: every other country that I can think of, any other,
- 32:49Speaker 1: every other Western country has a whole sort of network
- 32:52Speaker 1: in place.
- 32:53Speaker 3: Germany could they could they extradite him from Germany to
- 32:56Speaker 3: Portugal and then from Portugal to the.
- 32:59Speaker 2: UK possibly and that might have arrangement between.
- 33:02Speaker 3: Portugal and the UK. Do it that way to get him?
- 33:04Speaker 1: That's right. Well, this was the argument raised by Juliana Sange.
- 33:07Speaker 1: When we were trying to get him back from Sweden.
- 33:12Speaker 1: They were saying, well no, or the UK. Sorry, so no,
- 33:14Speaker 1: we can't be We can't let him out in the
- 33:16Speaker 1: UK because then he could be extradited to the US,
- 33:19Speaker 1: because the US and the UK have an extradition.
- 33:23Speaker 3: Police, they extraride him from Germany to Portugal, then Portuguese
- 33:27Speaker 3: hand him over to the Britain.
- 33:29Speaker 1: The Germans well, no, we refuse to do that because
- 33:33Speaker 1: if that was if we extrade him to Portugal, then
- 33:36Speaker 1: that could and I don't know what Portugal deal is,
- 33:38Speaker 1: and he goes to the UK, then that is in
- 33:39Speaker 1: effect us extraditing to another country, which so you know,
- 33:43Speaker 1: back to go and you start all over again. Weird
- 33:46Speaker 1: that Germany have given its in anieth century history, gets
- 33:50Speaker 1: to pick and choose who it plays ball with. In
- 33:53Speaker 1: terms of international law again, the Nuremberg Trials started international law.
- 34:00Speaker 1: That was the very beginning because a whole bunch of
- 34:02Speaker 1: Germans did really, really, really bad things like how are they.
- 34:05Speaker 4: Yeah, no, exactly suddenly all right, before we go to
- 34:08Speaker 4: a break.
- 34:08Speaker 3: There's been a lot of talk about deep fakes and
- 34:10Speaker 3: the damage they do, particularly when it comes to deep
- 34:12Speaker 3: fake nudes and so on to try to ruin people's reputation.
- 34:16Speaker 3: Politicians are among the victims of deep fakes, no less
- 34:19Speaker 3: than Italian Prime Minister Georgia Maloney. She's undertaken a different
- 34:24Speaker 3: way of dealing with deep fakes. She's decided to publish
- 34:28Speaker 3: the deep fake that was made of her in Lingerie
- 34:31Speaker 3: with the following message she wrote. In these days, several
- 34:34Speaker 3: fake photos of me are circulating, generated with artificial intelligence
- 34:38Speaker 3: and passed off as real by some zealous opponent. I
- 34:42Speaker 3: must admit whoever created them, at least in the attached case,
- 34:45Speaker 3: has also improved me quite a bit. But the fact
- 34:47Speaker 3: remains that just to attack and invent falsehoods nowadays, anything
- 34:50Speaker 3: at all is used.
- 34:52Speaker 2: The point, however, goes beyond me.
- 34:54Speaker 3: Deep fakes are a dangerous tool because they can deceive, manipulate,
- 34:57Speaker 3: and strike anyone. I can defend myself, many others cannot.
- 35:01Speaker 3: For this reason, one rule should always apply verify before believing,
- 35:06Speaker 3: and believe before sharing, because today it happens to me,
- 35:09Speaker 3: Tomorrow it can happen to anyone. And the Italian Prime
- 35:12Speaker 3: Minister has been widely applauded for that approach, confronting this
- 35:16Speaker 3: head on, and I think she's dealt with it very
- 35:19Speaker 3: very well.
- 35:19Speaker 4: I like the headline on the photo fotol Falsa, I
- 35:22Speaker 4: absolutely love it. Look it is a problem though. I
- 35:25Speaker 4: mean we've spoken about deep fakes before. There would be
- 35:28Speaker 4: people who would think that that is real if they
- 35:31Speaker 4: couldn't tell the difference, and they would go, I think
- 35:33Speaker 4: that's inappropriate. I am therefore not going to vote for her.
- 35:35Speaker 4: So I think that she did have to make that
- 35:39Speaker 4: statement to be honest, but you know, she's a classy woman.
- 35:41Speaker 4: Surely they would have thought better of that.
- 35:43Speaker 1: I agreed with you right up until the second part
- 35:45Speaker 1: of your statement where they said I'm not going to
- 35:47Speaker 1: vote for it. I think unrelated news approval ratings for
- 35:52Speaker 1: Jorgia Mollenium just eighty seven.
- 35:54Speaker 4: Percent conservative Italians who would be like, that's really inappropriate.
- 35:58Speaker 5: And I would know that because I've got Italian hair.
- 36:00Speaker 1: Resourcial discuss I'm pretty sure you did too.
- 36:03Speaker 3: All right when you go to a break. When we
- 36:05Speaker 3: come back, we look at what's making headlines tomorrow. Jim
- 36:07Speaker 3: Chalmers to roll out COVID era tax relief for business,
- 36:11Speaker 3: the Victorian government approves a massive gas project.
- 36:14Speaker 2: All of that more after the break.
- 36:23Speaker 3: Okay, lots of stories to get through when we look
- 36:26Speaker 3: at the papers now, So the nick will start with
- 36:27Speaker 3: the Australian.
- 36:29Speaker 2: Jim Charmers making news again tomorrow.
- 36:31Speaker 4: Yeah, more little budget sweeteners, previews coming out, Lost and
- 36:35Speaker 4: found a COVID fix. Would you believe Jim Chalmers is
- 36:38Speaker 4: planning to roll out a COVID era business tax relief proposal,
- 36:43Speaker 4: allowing companies to reduce their tax retrospectively in a move
- 36:47Speaker 4: that aims to lift productivity growth and save investment from crashing.
- 36:51Speaker 4: As forecast by the RBA, The Australian understands the Albanese
- 36:55Speaker 4: government will offer two years of loss carry back, under
- 36:59Speaker 4: which businesses sorry my eyesight, which businesses.
- 37:04Speaker 1: Lost carry back? My favorite country in Western band.
- 37:06Speaker 4: Businesses can reduce previous year's profits and the amount of
- 37:10Speaker 4: tax they paid, leading to refunds from the Australian taxation offers.
- 37:15Speaker 4: When the policy was used during the COVID. Here the
- 37:18Speaker 4: refunds were estimated to be as much as five billion dollars.
- 37:22Speaker 1: So basically, you can take the profit that you declared
- 37:25Speaker 1: because obviously companies only paid tech tax on profit. Although
- 37:29Speaker 1: we're ABRICI c to have some difficulty in but companies
- 37:32Speaker 1: pay tax on profit obviously, not on the revenue. So
- 37:35Speaker 1: companies can actually go back, reach back in time and say, actually,
- 37:38Speaker 1: for twenty twenty three, twenty four or twenty four to
- 37:41Speaker 1: twenty five or whatever, we're going to revise down the
- 37:44Speaker 1: profit that we actually made because we're looking down the
- 37:48Speaker 1: barrel of you being wiped out or having all these
- 37:51Speaker 1: super high costs or negative profit here. So we're going
- 37:54Speaker 1: to reduce that down there, and then you get a
- 37:57Speaker 1: tax refund for the tax that you've already paid based
- 38:00Speaker 1: on the higher profit. Does that makes sense, Yeah, it
- 38:03Speaker 1: makes sense. Yeah, So you can retrospectively write down the
- 38:07Speaker 1: profit that you've already paid tax on, and so you
- 38:09Speaker 1: get a refund for what you've paid, which then is
- 38:12Speaker 1: a sort of safety net or a little you know,
- 38:15Speaker 1: a buffer for the hard times you have ahead.
- 38:17Speaker 2: I mean, the fact is business needs it.
- 38:19Speaker 3: Yeah, does this apply to all businesses or is there
- 38:22Speaker 3: a criterion in terms of size of business?
- 38:26Speaker 1: And joined Danika with the microscope.
- 38:29Speaker 2: Really print, I mean the number of small businesses. If
- 38:32Speaker 2: you're going to the wall right.
- 38:33Speaker 1: All of them. I'm pretty sure it's all of them.
- 38:35Speaker 2: Is a huge worry. So I imagine this.
- 38:39Speaker 3: Would apply to all businesses and it's greatly needed.
- 38:42Speaker 1: It doesn't. It doesn't seem to say it doesn't.
- 38:45Speaker 5: Does that seem to say?
- 38:47Speaker 1: But I must say, have to take that question on.
- 38:50Speaker 4: When I read COVID, I thought, oh shut it hit
- 38:52Speaker 4: a shutter every time you hear the word COVID. Also
- 38:55Speaker 4: on the front page claims of slavery. As the ISIS
- 38:58Speaker 4: thirteen return Australia, Federal Police officers have interviewed at least
- 39:02Speaker 4: one woman who claims to have been kept as a
- 39:04Speaker 4: slave in Syria by the husband and father of three
- 39:08Speaker 4: ISIS linked women returning to Australia on Thursday afternoon. Four
- 39:12Speaker 4: Australian born Isis brides and their nine children are due
- 39:14Speaker 4: to land in Sydney and Melbourne on cut Our Airways
- 39:17Speaker 4: flights from Doha, with AFP Commissioner Chrissy Barrett warning some
- 39:21Speaker 4: members of the group would be arrested They include former
- 39:24Speaker 4: Sydney nursing student Jenaia Safa and her son Melbourne, grandmother Kawasaabus,
- 39:29Speaker 4: her adult daughters Zara and Zanab, and their respected children. Look, sorry,
- 39:36Speaker 4: no sympathy again. If you leave Australia to go join
- 39:40Speaker 4: the deaf cult, then you've betrayed our values.
- 39:43Speaker 5: So I know you should not.
- 39:46Speaker 4: I hope all these women get arrested because they do
- 39:48Speaker 4: not deserve to come back into this free, freedom loving country.
- 39:51Speaker 3: What the story highlights is you've got people already here
- 39:53Speaker 3: who fled Syria to get away from Islamists who were
- 39:58Speaker 3: treating them terribly. We've got this woman police have interviewed
- 40:02Speaker 3: who now says she was kept as a slave by
- 40:06Speaker 3: one of the families, the wife of whom is returning
- 40:09Speaker 3: to this country. Could you imagine how she would be
- 40:11Speaker 3: feeling that these people are coming back to this country. Ye,
- 40:15Speaker 3: so much for the government's promise that you know, citizenry
- 40:19Speaker 3: safety is top of mind all the time.
- 40:21Speaker 4: Well, they keep saying that, no, it has nothing to
- 40:24Speaker 4: do with us. They're always one step beside stepping in.
- 40:28Speaker 2: Yeah, we know that's not true though exactly.
- 40:30Speaker 4: Remember we know that Jamal Riefi is one of Tony
- 40:32Speaker 4: Birk's mates.
- 40:34Speaker 3: All right, the front page of the Northern Territory News.
- 40:37Speaker 3: With all of the commotion that's been going on in
- 40:39Speaker 3: Ellis Springs over the past number of days, there's still
- 40:43Speaker 3: not much good news coming out of Ella Springs. But
- 40:46Speaker 3: this photograph I think will warm the hearts of a
- 40:49Speaker 3: lot of people when they look at their papers tomorrow.
- 40:51Speaker 3: Policemen in viral image reveals raw emotion of poignant moment
- 40:56Speaker 3: as grief and anger over little girl's alleged murders into
- 41:00Speaker 3: the streets of Ellis Springs. This image cut through the chaos,
- 41:03Speaker 3: a police officer an Indigenous woman embracing the raw emotion
- 41:07Speaker 3: of the moment etched on their faces. And when you
- 41:10Speaker 3: get the Northern Territory News tomorrow you can read Ben's skeen.
- 41:14Speaker 2: He's the police officer.
- 41:15Speaker 3: I think he's been the police force six years and
- 41:18Speaker 3: he talks about that night and how the Indigenous woman
- 41:21Speaker 3: pictured there on the front page came up to him
- 41:24Speaker 3: very distraught and his immediate reaction was to put his
- 41:28Speaker 3: arm around her. And I think she said words to
- 41:31Speaker 3: the effect she just wanted things to settle down, and
- 41:35Speaker 3: he replied to the effect that's what I want to
- 41:38Speaker 3: and they stood there together. He shielded her from some
- 41:42Speaker 3: of the writing that was going on, And it's a
- 41:46Speaker 3: photograph that I think will fill people with hope that
- 41:49Speaker 3: perhaps there could be unity in Elie Springs and people
- 41:53Speaker 3: could come together rather than be pulled further apart by
- 41:55Speaker 3: the events of the last couple of years.
- 41:57Speaker 4: I just think it goes to show just the job
- 42:00Speaker 4: that police do. You know, they're not only just putting
- 42:02Speaker 4: themselves on the front line, but when you see this,
- 42:04Speaker 4: they're human too. You know, they're out there to comfort people.
- 42:07Speaker 4: So I think this is a very very strong picture.
- 42:09Speaker 1: Well, ironically, given some of the frustrations shall we say
- 42:13Speaker 1: to put it ephimistically directed against police comes after revelations
- 42:18Speaker 1: that in fact the police were shouting from the rooftops
- 42:21Speaker 1: and were warning the Department of Community Services, the protection
- 42:24Speaker 1: Department in the NT that poor baby girl was in
- 42:30Speaker 1: grave danger, living in neglect and mum's potentially a victim
- 42:35Speaker 1: of violence, and the department, for whatever reason, wasn't able
- 42:40Speaker 1: to remember. So the cops have actually been really good on.
- 42:42Speaker 5: This as well.
- 42:43Speaker 1: Anyway, who would have thought, and I bet you didn't
- 42:46Speaker 1: have this on your twenty twenty six Bingo card that
- 42:50Speaker 1: when calls came for Australia to drill baby drill, the
- 42:54Speaker 1: state that would actually be the first to tap into
- 42:58Speaker 1: our huge natural resource would be Victoria. But sure enough,
- 43:03Speaker 1: here we go, and this story has ended up in
- 43:05Speaker 1: the Herald Sun. No surprises there exclusive huge offshore drilling
- 43:09Speaker 1: project approved as VIC sees the light firing up the
- 43:13Speaker 1: gas Matt Johnson, a huge new gas drilling project capable
- 43:17Speaker 1: of meeting a third of the entire states annual demand
- 43:19Speaker 1: has been approved. As Victoria is forced to go back
- 43:22Speaker 1: to the future to avoid an energy supply crisis. The
- 43:25Speaker 1: Allen government has given the go ahead for Amplitude Energies
- 43:28Speaker 1: any project in the offshore Otway basin. My uncle has
- 43:33Speaker 1: as a share owner of a little hippie farm in
- 43:36Speaker 1: the Otways. There has absolutely nothing to do with anything
- 43:39Speaker 1: or any interest to anybody. But I just thought i'd
- 43:41Speaker 1: mention it, which we'll start delivering gas by twenty twenty
- 43:45Speaker 1: eight and move certain to infuriate the Greens. You can
- 43:48Speaker 1: smell the delight in the gip But why now?
- 43:51Speaker 4: Why because an election's coming and suddenly they're going, actually.
- 43:53Speaker 5: We don't have enough supplies for ourselves up.
- 43:56Speaker 4: It's a bit like the renewables only fair to see
- 43:58Speaker 4: we can't keep the light really now they're going we
- 44:01Speaker 4: are absolutely screwed when it comes to gas, so conveniently
- 44:05Speaker 4: just before an election.
- 44:06Speaker 3: The irony is their policies put the state in a
- 44:09Speaker 3: position where they are absolutely stuffed if they don't do this.
- 44:13Speaker 2: So now they do this and they want credit for it. Yeah,
- 44:16Speaker 2: they should get numb.
- 44:17Speaker 5: That should get absolutely.
- 44:18Speaker 3: It's a good decision, but they should never have had
- 44:21Speaker 3: to be in a position to get to that where
- 44:23Speaker 3: this is news exactly.
- 44:24Speaker 4: And let's take a look at the Courier mail a
- 44:26Speaker 4: bit of a saucy one and affair to forguers two
- 44:29Speaker 4: chris a Fully. Government ministers have contradicted Premier David Chris
- 44:33Speaker 4: of Fooley's assurances that he did not know about their
- 44:35Speaker 4: affair until after the last day election, but the Premier
- 44:38Speaker 4: says he only had been referring to their current relationship
- 44:42Speaker 4: and the previous relationship. Into extraordinary press conferences, Sports Minister
- 44:47Speaker 4: Timmander and Child Safety Minister Amanda cam revealed that they
- 44:51Speaker 4: told the Premier in May twenty twenty four of an affair,
- 44:54Speaker 4: but that it had ended.
- 44:55Speaker 5: Both said last night.
- 44:56Speaker 4: They broke up before the twenty twenty four election, but
- 45:00Speaker 4: rekindled the relationship in June twenty twenty five.
- 45:07Speaker 1: So the reason that this is important and it's unbelievable
- 45:11Speaker 1: that we're even quivling about this, so they say, so,
- 45:16Speaker 1: the question is why did they not declare in the
- 45:18Speaker 1: Ministerial Code of Interests, under the Ministerial Code of Contact
- 45:22Speaker 1: declare as their interests that they were in a relationship
- 45:24Speaker 1: with each other, which you are supposed to do.
- 45:26Speaker 3: But within a month of becoming ministers.
- 45:28Speaker 1: That's right, they needed to declare exactly right. So what
- 45:31Speaker 1: they have come back and said is that oh, no, no, no, no,
- 45:34Speaker 1: we were having an affair before we became ministers, and
- 45:39Speaker 1: then we broke up well while we were being sworn
- 45:43Speaker 1: in as ministers, so there was nothing to declare while
- 45:45Speaker 1: we actually got sworn in, or after we got torn in,
- 45:49Speaker 1: but then we had an affair again, or then we
- 45:52Speaker 1: got involved again, and so they were back in a relationship.
- 45:54Speaker 1: So for the bit that they were meant to actually
- 45:57Speaker 1: declare it and didn't, conveniently, that is the bit where
- 46:01Speaker 1: they were on a break. Hey, we were on a
- 46:03Speaker 1: break and so now Christoph Fooley is pought in this
- 46:06Speaker 1: ridiculous position, whereas I to say, oh, yes, I knew
- 46:09Speaker 1: about the first affair, but I didn't know about the
- 46:12Speaker 1: second affair, so everything's fine. This is just the greatest
- 46:15Speaker 1: story in the world. And he's going to go and
- 46:17Speaker 1: go and go, and I promise you all not as well.
- 46:19Speaker 3: Absolute mess and I'm not sure they'll be on David
- 46:21Speaker 3: christ the Fully's Christmas card list. We're going to go
- 46:23Speaker 3: to a break when we come back. Our dope of
- 46:26Speaker 3: the day. I mean, vandals are dopes at the best
- 46:28Speaker 3: of times, but this guy picked the worst time to
- 46:32Speaker 3: start graffitiing a war.
- 46:34Speaker 2: We'll show you after this.
- 46:40Speaker 3: Welcome back to the program and one of my favorite
- 46:42Speaker 3: segments tonight. A Brisbane graffiti artist is.
- 46:44Speaker 2: Our time the day now.
- 46:52Speaker 3: People graffitiing public places are dopes anyway, but this guy
- 46:56Speaker 3: is a particular dope because he decided to do it
- 46:59Speaker 3: in the middle of a live press conference being broadcast
- 47:03Speaker 3: on television.
- 47:04Speaker 2: Have a look.
- 47:06Speaker 7: One man particularly incensed with QR hurling abuse and spray
- 47:14Speaker 7: painting the South Brisbane station before being dragged away and
- 47:21Speaker 7: later arrested.
- 47:23Speaker 3: So you've got the Queensland Transport minister giving a press conference.
- 47:27Speaker 3: You've got all the news cameras there, and he decides
- 47:30Speaker 3: to write graffiti on the wall directly behind the cameras,
- 47:33Speaker 3: so he's in full view. He was there for about
- 47:36Speaker 3: five seconds, as he saw, before police nabbed him. He's
- 47:39Speaker 3: now facing one charge of willful damage, one charge of
- 47:41Speaker 3: public nuisance and one charge of possessing an instrument of graffiti.
- 47:46Speaker 2: Not the smartest guy in the world.
- 47:47Speaker 4: That's in the shadows spell corrupt, but I know that
- 47:52Speaker 4: what's he bloody doing?
- 47:54Speaker 1: Although if he was just trying to get attention and
- 47:56Speaker 1: draw attention to his claims, he seems to have done
- 47:58Speaker 1: a pretty good job anyway. Just when you thought the
- 48:02Speaker 1: Australian real estate market could not get any more ridiculous,
- 48:06Speaker 1: a house in the Gold Coast that was so riddled
- 48:10Speaker 1: with mold that any prospective buyers were actually banned from
- 48:16Speaker 1: entering it, so you couldn't even look at it, couldn't
- 48:19Speaker 1: even expect inspect. It has just sold for one point
- 48:22Speaker 1: two three five million dollars. The four bedroom Arundel home.
- 48:27Speaker 1: I'm not sure how relevant how many bedrooms it's got
- 48:30Speaker 1: is given it's going to be, it will be to
- 48:32Speaker 1: go into any of them and probably have to be
- 48:35Speaker 1: having it. And when under the hammer with a strict condition,
- 48:38Speaker 1: a total ban on public inspections, it was sold sight
- 48:43Speaker 1: unseen that one point two to three million dollar price
- 48:47Speaker 1: tag is actually higher than Brisbane's average house prices.
- 48:54Speaker 3: So you're paying money for the seven hundred and thirty
- 48:56Speaker 3: square meter block.
- 48:57Speaker 4: You're paying for the block. They'll knock it down, start again,
- 49:00Speaker 4: build some.
- 49:00Speaker 5: Beautiful properties on there. But well that's it.
- 49:03Speaker 4: Now we had a dope of the day, but I
- 49:04Speaker 4: reckon that this bloke should be the dope of the day.
- 49:06Speaker 4: This is one of Greta's Gaza flow tiller activists. Of course,
- 49:10Speaker 4: they were intercepted in Greece in waters or international waters
- 49:14Speaker 4: last week.
- 49:16Speaker 5: But how to look at this guy? This is Thiago
- 49:18Speaker 5: a Villa.
- 49:18Speaker 4: He was taken into custody by Israeli authorities accused of
- 49:22Speaker 4: being affiliated with a terrorist organization linked to Hamas. Now
- 49:26Speaker 4: he's got his hands behind the back, pretending that he's
- 49:29Speaker 4: being arrested, when well, he isn't handcuffed, he isn't being arrested,
- 49:34Speaker 4: and in fact Israeli authorities are looking at him going
- 49:37Speaker 4: what on earth are you doing?
- 49:38Speaker 2: Mate?
- 49:40Speaker 5: It's all for show with these people.
- 49:42Speaker 2: Berg's done the same.
- 49:43Speaker 4: They're not bright, low IQ people that go on these
- 49:46Speaker 4: flow tillers.
- 49:47Speaker 3: Seriously, anything to make the Israelis look bread and Greta
- 49:50Speaker 3: Tunberg has done a similar thing.
- 49:52Speaker 2: That's it from us. Coming up is the reader Pennehy Show, Goodnight,
