- 0:00Speaker 1: Lately.
- 0:01Speaker 2: General, welcome to the Late to Play.
- 0:07Speaker 1: Well, good evening and thanks for joining us on the
- 0:08Speaker 1: Late Debate. I'm James Macpherson with kayleb Bond and filling
- 0:11Speaker 1: in for Liz storer Is Lucy Zeleek. Great to have
- 0:14Speaker 1: your company. We've got a lot to get through tonight,
- 0:16Speaker 1: including Scott Morrison's family photo album was accidentally thrown out
- 0:21Speaker 1: bought by a Guide knopshop, but he doesn't want to
- 0:24Speaker 1: return it. We'll talk about whether or not he's doing
- 0:25Speaker 1: the right thing a little later. Plus, when we get
- 0:28Speaker 1: to the papers, a foreign born contract killer guilty of
- 0:32Speaker 1: two murders gets to stay in Australia because of Labour's
- 0:36Speaker 1: bungling of visa laws and Anthony Alberenese's two point four
- 0:40Speaker 1: billion dollar gift to his labor mate in South Australia.
- 0:43Speaker 1: All of that when we look at what's making news tomorrow.
- 0:45Speaker 1: But first let's talk about citizenship ceremonies, because I always
- 0:49Speaker 1: thought the Labor government didn't care that much about citizenship ceremonies.
- 0:54Speaker 1: After all, when Anthony Albeneze came to power, one of
- 0:57Speaker 1: the first things he did was to tell local councils
- 1:00Speaker 1: you can hold your ceremonies whenever you want January twenty six,
- 1:04Speaker 1: maybe not, doesn't matter. You do what you like, how
- 1:08Speaker 1: you like. But all of a sudden, thanks to poor
- 1:11Speaker 1: polling and an election about to be called, citizenship ceremonies
- 1:15Speaker 1: have become very, very important to the Albanezi government. Forget
- 1:20Speaker 1: local councils, Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke, he will be
- 1:24Speaker 1: holding them himself and he will hold them now. It's
- 1:28Speaker 1: just come to light that in Western Sydney Tony Burke
- 1:32Speaker 1: will be personally hosting three days of citizenship ceremonies where
- 1:36Speaker 1: he will give out certificates to six thousand brand new
- 1:41Speaker 1: Australians at Olympic Park. I'm starting to wonder whether on
- 1:45Speaker 1: the back of those certificates there will be a how
- 1:47Speaker 1: to vote card signed with love from your friends in
- 1:51Speaker 1: the Labor Party. I'm not sure that's the case, but
- 1:53Speaker 1: you wouldn't put it past them. Peter Dutton, speaking today,
- 1:57Speaker 1: says this thinks to high Heaven. Clearly they're trying to
- 2:00Speaker 1: stack the electorate.
- 2:03Speaker 3: I just question whether there has been any slackening of
- 2:08Speaker 3: the process, whether there has been any compromise on the
- 2:12Speaker 3: security checks, and whether it's in our country's best interests
- 2:16Speaker 3: for people to receive citizenship before the proper security checks
- 2:21Speaker 3: have been undertaken, or people have had within the Home
- 2:24Speaker 3: Affairs Department the time to be able to conduct the
- 2:27Speaker 3: searches that we would expect to be conducted.
- 2:30Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the Opposition leader's got a point. I
- 2:33Speaker 1: don't know if it's in Australia's interest to push these
- 2:37Speaker 1: citizenship ceremonies through, but it's probably in Labour's interest, especially
- 2:42Speaker 1: in Western Sydney where the Muslim Votes organization is threatening
- 2:46Speaker 1: labor seats. And that's before we talk about the Greens.
- 2:50Speaker 1: You've got to be four years in Australia before you're
- 2:52Speaker 1: eligible for citizenship. But just the other day we're talking
- 2:55Speaker 1: about the fact that fully one third of people sitting
- 2:58Speaker 1: Australian citizenship tests fail the test. As we've seen recently,
- 3:04Speaker 1: a person who arrived in this country age twelve, now
- 3:07Speaker 1: in his early twenties was responsible for threatening Jewish patients
- 3:12Speaker 1: that they could be killed at a hospital in Western Sydney,
- 3:15Speaker 1: and Bromwin Bishop made the point on this channel earlier
- 3:18Speaker 1: in the week that maybe we ought to wait a
- 3:21Speaker 1: little longer before we give out citizenship status to new arrivals,
- 3:26Speaker 1: just to make sure, because there's a difference between being
- 3:29Speaker 1: a citizen and being Australian. Caleb, this really does stink.
- 3:34Speaker 1: There's no reason for them to rush this through other
- 3:37Speaker 1: than as I said, they're looking not to stack branches
- 3:41Speaker 1: but to stack the electorate.
- 3:42Speaker 4: Well, there is one good thing about this, and bear
- 3:44Speaker 4: with me for a minute. Tony Burke has done us
- 3:47Speaker 4: a favor here because he has demonstrated to state governments
- 3:51Speaker 4: that you can actually take powers away from councils if
- 3:55Speaker 4: only they take that more seriously and not just do
- 3:59Speaker 4: it relaionship ceremonies. He said, I want it, I'm going
- 4:02Speaker 4: to do it. Why go the state government do that
- 4:04Speaker 4: the councils all the time? The world would be a
- 4:06Speaker 4: much better place. But the fact that it's happening, specifically
- 4:09Speaker 4: in Western Sydney, I think is what really makes this stinking. Okay,
- 4:14Speaker 4: we've got an election coming up, we want to get
- 4:16Speaker 4: people through.
- 4:17Speaker 2: Before that date.
- 4:18Speaker 4: And you might well say, okay, people have been hanging
- 4:21Speaker 4: around waiting a long time for their citizenship and they
- 4:24Speaker 4: probably like to vote in the coming election because they
- 4:27Speaker 4: filled out the forms and they passed the test and
- 4:29Speaker 4: so they probably deserve it, and that's all fine. But
- 4:31Speaker 4: when you specifically say we're going to take all these
- 4:34Speaker 4: councils in Western Sydney where we're worried about our votes
- 4:38Speaker 4: and where the polling shows we're currently in a bit
- 4:41Speaker 4: of trouble and we're going to move twelve thousand of
- 4:43Speaker 4: you through right now, just before we call the election,
- 4:47Speaker 4: you might just.
- 4:48Speaker 2: Think there was something fishy about it, wouldn't you.
- 4:50Speaker 4: I mean, mister Burke, he's not Tony Burke, he's Tony Biden.
- 4:54Speaker 4: He's doing what he's doing what the Dems were doing
- 4:57Speaker 4: before the presidential election. There were states like Texas were
- 5:02Speaker 4: trying to clean up their elector roles and the Biden
- 5:05Speaker 4: administration took them to court to prevent them from taking
- 5:09Speaker 4: a legal migrant.
- 5:10Speaker 1: To be fair, Tony Birk's dealing with people who are alive.
- 5:12Speaker 5: That's right, that's right.
- 5:15Speaker 6: But clearly he's taken a page out of the Biden
- 5:17Speaker 6: and nomics. But playaboo key because he's clearly recognized that
- 5:20Speaker 6: right now we need to really pay attention to the
- 5:23Speaker 6: labor heartland here in the West of Sydney and ensure
- 5:25Speaker 6: that we have a stranglehold when it comes to the
- 5:28Speaker 6: election in these particular votes. But why do you think
- 5:30Speaker 6: that all those illegal immigrants were flooding the boarders over
- 5:33Speaker 6: there in the US because they knew that this was
- 5:35Speaker 6: going to be away for them, particularly with just how
- 5:38Speaker 6: poor their system is over there and that you don't
- 5:40Speaker 6: have to officially register or show any type of documentation
- 5:44Speaker 6: pre Trump. Now, of course it's been one of the
- 5:46Speaker 6: biggest talking points for him, But now this is something
- 5:49Speaker 6: that stinks so badly that for me, even if you
- 5:51Speaker 6: are a labor voter, this is something that frustrates me
- 5:54Speaker 6: so much about people in politics right and those of
- 5:58Speaker 6: us who look at this, whether you have voted Liberal
- 6:00Speaker 6: or Labor your whole lives, to really remove yourself from
- 6:03Speaker 6: this attachment to the party that you have potentially been
- 6:06Speaker 6: rusted on too and voted for all of these years,
- 6:09Speaker 6: and look at their behaviors, look at their policies. Is
- 6:12Speaker 6: this something that you'd be proud of? Is this something
- 6:14Speaker 6: that you look at and go, oh, this doesn't look
- 6:15Speaker 6: dodgy at all. It's just trying to wave through all
- 6:17Speaker 6: these people so that he can get them to vote
- 6:19Speaker 6: for the Labor Party in this year being a federal election.
- 6:23Speaker 2: It's just yuck.
- 6:24Speaker 5: And if you're not grossed.
- 6:25Speaker 6: Out by this in politics, and if these are your
- 6:27Speaker 6: politicians and people you're historically voting for, then this is
- 6:31Speaker 6: the time now to get on the yuck train, because
- 6:33Speaker 6: it's ended straight for hell.
- 6:34Speaker 5: As far as I'm concerned.
- 6:36Speaker 1: It's not like Peter Dutton has nothing sorry, Tony Burke
- 6:39Speaker 1: has nothing to do. He's the Immigration minister, he's the
- 6:41Speaker 1: Home Affairs minister. God knows we've got enough problems in
- 6:44Speaker 1: those areas at the moment. So for a senior government
- 6:47Speaker 1: minister to the vote not one, not two, but three
- 6:50Speaker 1: days to hang out at Olympic Park shaking hands of
- 6:53Speaker 1: new voters citizens certainly shows where his priorities are right now.
- 6:57Speaker 1: They're not the national interest becoming.
- 7:00Speaker 4: Election indeed, and of course it's a great opportunity for
- 7:03Speaker 4: him to get himself in front of two thousand potential voters, right.
- 7:08Speaker 2: And that's also why because the councilors and our.
- 7:10Speaker 4: Spitting chips and saying, oh, well, we've had the right
- 7:12Speaker 4: taken away from us to host these ceremonies that we
- 7:15Speaker 4: were going to do, and the mayors are equally upset
- 7:17Speaker 4: that they don't get to put their faces in front
- 7:19Speaker 4: of these people because it's an opportunity to press the flesh.
- 7:22Speaker 4: But that's exactly how Burke will be treading it. This
- 7:24Speaker 4: is an opportunity to get twelve thousand potential voters to
- 7:27Speaker 4: look him in the eye and shake his hand. And
- 7:31Speaker 4: the power that kind of thing when you are canvassing
- 7:34Speaker 4: for votes is so important by.
- 7:36Speaker 2: The way he wants to do it.
- 7:37Speaker 1: If you had the national interest at heart and you
- 7:39Speaker 1: want to help these people become Australians, and you do
- 7:42Speaker 1: the right thing, and you have your coalition equivalent on
- 7:46Speaker 1: stage with you, and you shake hands together, and you
- 7:48Speaker 1: do it as a sign of unity.
- 7:50Speaker 5: That's their agender.
- 7:53Speaker 1: That's not help Peon who thought about the country right
- 7:57Speaker 1: than himselves.
- 7:57Speaker 6: No, dude was coming in like the White Knight on
- 8:01Speaker 6: the second.
- 8:02Speaker 5: I am I'm the reason count dreams.
- 8:05Speaker 4: He's so idealist, James sometimes so idealistic.
- 8:08Speaker 2: Will slowly keep me out of you.
- 8:11Speaker 4: I thought you started your career as a journalist, right,
- 8:14Speaker 4: you should.
- 8:15Speaker 2: Be cynical like me. No, No, it was somehow, somehow
- 8:20Speaker 2: he missed that little bit of training when he has.
- 8:22Speaker 1: Got to be cheople in this country.
- 8:27Speaker 4: While we're talking about the alban Easy government, let's talk
- 8:29Speaker 4: about their social media band Because the e Safety Commissioner
- 8:33Speaker 4: that E. Karen as she is, who keeps an eye
- 8:35Speaker 4: on what we're doing online and then makes recommendations about
- 8:39Speaker 4: how our rights and freedoms should be taken away from us,
- 8:42Speaker 4: has done a survey of how many children are actually
- 8:45Speaker 4: using social media right now and how many of them
- 8:48Speaker 4: are avoiding the age restrictions that are already in place,
- 8:53Speaker 4: and would you believe it, it's a hell of a
- 8:56Speaker 4: lot of them. According to a new Safety sorry Commission report,
- 9:00Speaker 4: about eighty percent of kids aged eight to twelve, or
- 9:03Speaker 4: one point three million children, accessed one or more social
- 9:07Speaker 4: media services last year in breach of existing limits of
- 9:11Speaker 4: thirteen years old on most platforms.
- 9:15Speaker 2: Who would a thunk it? Kids quite inventive, know how
- 9:19Speaker 2: to get around.
- 9:19Speaker 4: Things limits rules. Who cares about them? We'll just go
- 9:24Speaker 4: on it anyway. But the government says this is all
- 9:26Speaker 4: the more reason we need to bring in our rules
- 9:29Speaker 4: to ban kids from using social media. The Communications Minister,
- 9:33Speaker 4: Michelle Roland says adding the new age limit restrictions would
- 9:36Speaker 4: help parents navigate these challenges with their kids. Parents can
- 9:40Speaker 4: feel empowered to have conversations with their children about having
- 9:44Speaker 4: social media accounts and.
- 9:46Speaker 2: Simply say no, it's not allowed.
- 9:49Speaker 4: Now, look, Michelle, I will admit I haven't looked into
- 9:53Speaker 4: your family status. I don't know whether you.
- 9:56Speaker 2: Have any children.
- 9:57Speaker 1: You have children.
- 9:58Speaker 4: There you go, James' into it. He knows she has
- 10:01Speaker 4: two children. At least, you know. He might be idealistic,
- 10:04Speaker 4: but he has done some research that I failed to
- 10:06Speaker 4: do before the show. Thank you for that.
- 10:07Speaker 2: She's got two.
- 10:08Speaker 4: Children, so surely she would know that simply saying to kids, know,
- 10:13Speaker 4: it's not allowed doesn't always work. And also saying the kids, actually,
- 10:18Speaker 4: it's illegal doesn't always work because rules are already in
- 10:22Speaker 4: place that say they shouldn't be using social media.
- 10:25Speaker 2: But somehow they're going to waive the magic government long.
- 10:28Speaker 2: Can I tell them you're going to be fixed?
- 10:30Speaker 6: Can I tell you what I found to be the
- 10:31Speaker 6: most hysterical about.
- 10:32Speaker 1: All of this?
- 10:33Speaker 6: And I love this the quote that came out of it.
- 10:35Speaker 6: A handful of platforms are increasingly adopting proactive tools to
- 10:40Speaker 6: identify underage users, such as.
- 10:42Speaker 5: Analysis of vocabulary, emoji.
- 10:45Speaker 6: Use, location patterns indicating school attendance, and time spent playing
- 10:50Speaker 6: online games or watching cartoons popular among children.
- 10:54Speaker 5: That's me and my husband like color.
- 10:58Speaker 6: Seriously, I'm watching cartoons.
- 11:00Speaker 5: With my kids.
- 11:01Speaker 6: I mean, some of my emoji use has been pretty
- 11:03Speaker 6: done embarrassing as well, left, right and center, almost an
- 11:06Speaker 6: overuse of emojis. But if that these are your proactive tools,
- 11:12Speaker 6: these are your spidey senses, tingling that perhaps this user
- 11:15Speaker 6: may be underage. If that's all you've got, that's pretty absurd, right.
- 11:19Speaker 5: It's ridiculous.
- 11:19Speaker 6: And I think was it Barry Goldwater, the late Republican
- 11:22Speaker 6: senator who said, and I love this quote, government should.
- 11:26Speaker 5: Stay the hell out of people's business. I'm a parent,
- 11:30Speaker 5: Let me parent my children.
- 11:32Speaker 6: And when it comes to it, if they want social media,
- 11:35Speaker 6: guess what not in my house, sweetheart.
- 11:37Speaker 5: And these are my rules, and for as long as
- 11:39Speaker 5: you live under this roof, you will abide by them.
- 11:42Speaker 5: So that's what we need to be doing.
- 11:43Speaker 6: We need to be empowering parents with the tools and
- 11:47Speaker 6: encouraging them.
- 11:48Speaker 5: To actually parent.
- 11:49Speaker 6: Hello, it's a novel idea out there Australia, but you
- 11:52Speaker 6: can do it.
- 11:53Speaker 4: And my big mister Elbow said you shouldn't go on
- 11:55Speaker 4: the social media. So that's the end of it isn't it.
- 11:57Speaker 4: Very elbow tells you that's.
- 11:59Speaker 1: A funny thing. Right, So Michelle Rowlands imagines that, you know,
- 12:01Speaker 1: it's pretty hard to get your kids to do what
- 12:03Speaker 1: you want because they don't respect you. But if you
- 12:05Speaker 1: tell them the E Safety Commissioner, she says you're not
- 12:08Speaker 1: allowed to be on a social media account, suddenly you're
- 12:11Speaker 1: thirteen fourteen year old daughters. Oh oh well, if the
- 12:14Speaker 1: commission says, then I won't touch it. The problem they
- 12:18Speaker 1: have is that this same review by the E Safety
- 12:21Speaker 1: Commission found that of all of these kids on social
- 12:25Speaker 1: media who ought not to have been, fifty four percent
- 12:28Speaker 1: of them, you know how they access social media accounts
- 12:31Speaker 1: through their parents' account. This is a parenting issue, and
- 12:35Speaker 1: so educate parents on the dangers, educate parents on some
- 12:39Speaker 1: things that they could do, but leave the role to
- 12:42Speaker 1: mums and dads, because trying to police it is never
- 12:44Speaker 1: going to work. The only way they can do it,
- 12:46Speaker 1: and they've already canvassed it, is to impinge upon everybody's freedom. Yes,
- 12:51Speaker 1: give the job to mums and dads. Do that. My
- 12:54Speaker 1: kids didn't get a smartphone until they were thirteen years old.
- 12:57Speaker 1: Even now, I think that was probably still too young,
- 13:00Speaker 1: but they were old compared to all of their friends
- 13:02Speaker 1: who had had them, and they winged and whined and
- 13:05Speaker 1: said it's not fair. But they did that about ice creams,
- 13:08Speaker 1: they did that about bedtime, kids do that about everything.
- 13:11Speaker 1: Parent your kids. You're not their friend, you're not their mate,
- 13:13Speaker 1: You're their parent. Be a parent, and the government should
- 13:16Speaker 1: be helping people to recognize that, rather than taking responsibility
- 13:20Speaker 1: off them and treating parents like, oh, we know you
- 13:22Speaker 1: can't discipline your children, let us help you do it.
- 13:25Speaker 1: Just here here, let's talk about the anti Semitism summit
- 13:30Speaker 1: that was held today, and I have to say, as
- 13:33Speaker 1: Sky News staff, it makes you incredibly proud to work
- 13:36Speaker 1: for a network that stages something like this that is
- 13:40Speaker 1: so important at this time in our nation's history. Was
- 13:43Speaker 1: organized by Shari Marson and Alex Rivchen. Both of them
- 13:47Speaker 1: did an outstanding job with some brilliant guests. We'll talk
- 13:50Speaker 1: about some of the highlights and low lights in just
- 13:53Speaker 1: a moment, but have listened to Shary Marx and our
- 13:56Speaker 1: Sky News colleague. She introduced the summit. Here's some of
- 13:59Speaker 1: what she had to say.
- 14:00Speaker 7: The idea that we be confronting violent extremism driven by
- 14:05Speaker 7: an irrational hatred would have once seemed unthinkable and absurd,
- 14:11Speaker 7: and it is absurd. We are here today because we
- 14:15Speaker 7: will not accept this as our new reality. We won't
- 14:19Speaker 7: tolerate feeble action any longer.
- 14:28Speaker 1: Sherry markson like ninety nine percent of the speakers spoke
- 14:31Speaker 1: with heart, spoke with passion, spoke with conviction, and gave
- 14:36Speaker 1: the subject the Duke gravitus that it deserves. Have listened
- 14:39Speaker 1: to former Prime Minister John Howard. He was talking about
- 14:43Speaker 1: the fact that anti Semitism is such a specific form
- 14:47Speaker 1: of bigotry, you've got to call it out specifically. None
- 14:50Speaker 1: of this generalization that we've been accustomed to over the
- 14:53Speaker 1: past fifteen months.
- 14:55Speaker 8: This is not something that can be allowed to just
- 15:00Speaker 8: fester in the belief it will go away, And it
- 15:04Speaker 8: was not something that could be dealt with by general
- 15:10Speaker 8: denunciations of discrimination. The atrocity of the seventh of October
- 15:18Speaker 8: twenty twenty three saw the largest number of Jewish people's
- 15:22Speaker 8: slaughters in the Holocaust.
- 15:23Speaker 1: That's the fact. I was sitting at the synagogue today
- 15:27Speaker 1: listening at the summit, and John Howard got up to speak,
- 15:30Speaker 1: and you thought a leader, a leader we haven't seen
- 15:34Speaker 1: a leader for so long in this country. Then our
- 15:38Speaker 1: Attorney General got up, who's supposed to be a leader,
- 15:42Speaker 1: and he began, well, you know how he'll begin.
- 15:47Speaker 9: I begin by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land
- 15:49Speaker 9: on which we meet, and pay my respects to their
- 15:53Speaker 9: illness past and present. I extend that respect to all
- 15:56Speaker 9: Aboriginal and torrest right island to people here today. I
- 16:00Speaker 9: acknowledge the many distinguished people participating in today's Sky News
- 16:06Speaker 9: Anti Semitism summit.
- 16:09Speaker 1: When the most senior labor figure, in fact, I think
- 16:11Speaker 1: the only federal labor figure at the summit, got up
- 16:14Speaker 1: to speak. He's the most senior lawmaker in this country,
- 16:18Speaker 1: and God knows we've got some problems with the laws
- 16:20Speaker 1: in this country. When he gets up and he begins
- 16:23Speaker 1: with I want to acknowledge, etc. So that you could
- 16:26Speaker 1: hear the audible groans, everybody thought, here we go, and
- 16:31Speaker 1: they weren't wrong.
- 16:32Speaker 9: The Australian Government stands with Jewish Australians in the fight
- 16:36Speaker 9: against anti Semitism whenever and wherever it occurs. The Australian
- 16:45Speaker 9: Government has expressly condemned words and acts of hate directed
- 16:50Speaker 9: at Jewish people. The Albanezy government has not just talked
- 17:03Speaker 9: about anti semitism. We have acted and we will keep acting.
- 17:11Speaker 1: Let's start with some credit for the Attorney General. He
- 17:14Speaker 1: did turn up to what I suppose he probably knew
- 17:17Speaker 1: would be a hostile audience. So points for being there,
- 17:21Speaker 1: I guess that's something.
- 17:23Speaker 5: Why are you giving him points for that?
- 17:25Speaker 1: Because I'm trying to be generous. But I'll get to
- 17:27Speaker 1: my criticism now.
- 17:28Speaker 5: No, I don't think he need to be though.
- 17:30Speaker 1: Well, you know, you're right, he probably he is doing
- 17:33Speaker 1: his job.
- 17:34Speaker 6: He needs to front up, he needs to be. They're
- 17:36Speaker 6: not giving him points for doing the bare minimum.
- 17:38Speaker 1: James, Yeah, fair cop, fair call. Well, you know, I
- 17:40Speaker 1: don't know at what point in his speech he decided
- 17:42Speaker 1: he shouldn't have been there, but fairly early on it
- 17:45Speaker 1: looked like he just decided, you know what, I'm going
- 17:48Speaker 1: to read this speech, get through it and get out
- 17:50Speaker 1: of here as fast as I can. Because for all
- 17:52Speaker 1: intents and purposes, he could have been reading from the
- 17:55Speaker 1: phone book. He had that little passion, that little concern
- 17:58Speaker 1: would probably if.
- 18:00Speaker 4: He'd read from the phone book, because you would have
- 18:01Speaker 4: been able to call them up and probably get a
- 18:03Speaker 4: little more sense out of them him.
- 18:05Speaker 2: And even when he was doing.
- 18:07Speaker 4: The acknowledgment of country, he had like a smirk on
- 18:11Speaker 4: his face as the crowd sort of jeered him a bit,
- 18:15Speaker 4: almost like he wanted it.
- 18:16Speaker 2: He was like, oh, yes, good, I knew this was
- 18:19Speaker 2: going to happen.
- 18:19Speaker 4: It proves all the points I came here to make
- 18:22Speaker 4: that they don't really want to hear from me. But
- 18:24Speaker 4: can you blame the audience for jeering him in the
- 18:27Speaker 4: way they did when they have a bloke and you know,
- 18:30Speaker 4: I know he's kind of the whipping boy that the
- 18:32Speaker 4: Labor Party puts up because he's a Jewish man himself.
- 18:36Speaker 4: So well, we'll send you off to the summit.
- 18:38Speaker 1: You can go and talk to the Jews.
- 18:39Speaker 4: Right, So he rocks up and all these people are
- 18:42Speaker 4: incensed as well they should be that the federal government
- 18:45Speaker 4: has done very little about anti Semitism for fifteen months
- 18:50Speaker 4: that Albaneze danced around at more flip flops than Bondai Beach.
- 18:54Speaker 2: He was over here, he's over there.
- 18:56Speaker 4: Oh yes, it's a problem, but Islamophobia is a problem
- 19:00Speaker 4: as well. And oh, you know, I'll eventually go and
- 19:02Speaker 4: visit the synagogue after it's been five bombed, it took
- 19:05Speaker 4: me a week to do it, et cetera. Right, he
- 19:07Speaker 4: has just had no moral clarity whatsoever on any of this,
- 19:11Speaker 4: and he rocks up and he almost indignant that people
- 19:14Speaker 4: gendered him what did you expect was going to happen?
- 19:17Speaker 4: And after he was invited? Right, this is an event
- 19:21Speaker 4: held by sky News. He is an invited guest of
- 19:25Speaker 4: Charry Marksen and Alex Rivchen and sky News. And he
- 19:29Speaker 4: has the goal towards the end of his speech to say, oh,
- 19:33Speaker 4: the issue of anti Semitism should not be weaponized to
- 19:37Speaker 4: get television ratings.
- 19:38Speaker 9: Take a look, anti Semitism cannot and must not be
- 19:43Speaker 9: weaponized in the pursuit of votes. It must not be
- 19:47Speaker 9: weaponized in the pursuit of newspaper sales or TV ratings either.
- 19:52Speaker 2: Now what did he mean by that?
- 19:54Speaker 4: What do you mean it should not be weaponized in
- 19:56Speaker 4: the pursuit of newspaper sales and television ratings. If it
- 20:01Speaker 4: wasn't happening, we wouldn't be talking about it.
- 20:04Speaker 1: I mean, well, what did he think?
- 20:05Speaker 4: We just had the anti Semitism summit because we thought
- 20:08Speaker 4: it had do okay on the ratings.
- 20:10Speaker 2: Well, we do okay on the ratings as it is.
- 20:12Speaker 4: How about we actually want to talk about the issues
- 20:14Speaker 4: that face this nation.
- 20:16Speaker 2: That's not the rating, but that's the reality to do it.
- 20:18Speaker 6: This is a problem because when you start to have
- 20:20Speaker 6: the discussion with these politicians and put it to them,
- 20:22Speaker 6: particularly with respect to how they've handled these issues, they
- 20:26Speaker 6: start to shirk responsibility and use the weaponization, so called
- 20:30Speaker 6: weaponization of the discussion of anti semitism, and they weaponize
- 20:34Speaker 6: it themselves and turn.
- 20:37Speaker 5: The focus on the media.
- 20:38Speaker 6: So I remember having a conversation with the Federal Minister
- 20:41Speaker 6: for Aged Care and Sport, Arnika Wells, and she also
- 20:45Speaker 6: had a go at Sky after Dark and all the
- 20:46Speaker 6: rest of me in my conversation with her, because the
- 20:48Speaker 6: question was put, you know, Lucy, how do you feel
- 20:51Speaker 6: about how the government of the days handled the situation
- 20:54Speaker 6: with respect to anti Semitism? And I said, look, had
- 20:56Speaker 6: Anthony Alberinezi come out and everyone has said it, We've
- 20:59Speaker 6: heard it ad nauseum. He come out on October eighth
- 21:01Speaker 6: and condemned the protest and took a really strong stance there,
- 21:04Speaker 6: and then I don't think we'd be having, you know,
- 21:07Speaker 6: these types of conversations to the gravity that we have
- 21:12Speaker 6: been over the last fifteen months. And then when it
- 21:15Speaker 6: was put to her about it, right and kind of saying, well,
- 21:17Speaker 6: these are some strong comments about the government. How do
- 21:19Speaker 6: you feel about this? Oh, well, I don't want to
- 21:21Speaker 6: feed into a sky after dark narrative, because I had said,
- 21:26Speaker 6: but with all due respect, you've got the Prime Minister
- 21:28Speaker 6: of the country playing tennis the day after a synagogue's
- 21:31Speaker 6: fire bond, and she's bringing sky after dark into it.
- 21:34Speaker 5: And I said, what does that have to.
- 21:35Speaker 6: Do with the Prime Minister making the decision to put
- 21:38Speaker 6: his whites on go and smack a ball out on
- 21:40Speaker 6: a tennis court.
- 21:41Speaker 5: What does that have to do with it? What does
- 21:43Speaker 5: the Meania's response to this have.
- 21:44Speaker 6: To do with it, which, by the way, has been
- 21:46Speaker 6: rightfully condemning all of these shocking attacks of anti Semitism
- 21:50Speaker 6: and what we've been seeing unfold across the country.
- 21:52Speaker 2: Right.
- 21:53Speaker 6: So it to me it's just such a cheap and
- 21:56Speaker 6: cowardly way to address the issue, because for them, they've
- 21:59Speaker 6: got to recognize that they haven't dealt with this well.
- 22:02Speaker 1: And the irony is right. Before he made that comment
- 22:05Speaker 1: about anti Semitism should not be weaponized, he gave an
- 22:08Speaker 1: example of a vote in Parliament that didn't go his
- 22:11Speaker 1: way that he felt would have helped the Jewish community,
- 22:14Speaker 1: so he weaponized it. Then he criticized people for weaponizing it,
- 22:17Speaker 1: which was ANIMI the way of weaponizing it, and the
- 22:20Speaker 1: crowd were up to it, and everyone knew exactly what
- 22:22Speaker 1: he was doing. And I must say Sharry Markson, who
- 22:25Speaker 1: was very gracious at the end of his speech, did
- 22:27Speaker 1: call him out on that, and she did not miss
- 22:30Speaker 1: and I think he left the building fairly quickly afterwards.
- 22:33Speaker 2: Funny about that.
- 22:33Speaker 4: And of course if you want to watch anything from
- 22:35Speaker 4: that summer today the full interviews or the full summer
- 22:38Speaker 4: Kertiska News dot com dot Au. Now a case back
- 22:42Speaker 4: in twenty twenty two Cassius Turvey, who was a fifteen
- 22:46Speaker 4: year old boy who died in Western Australia after he
- 22:50Speaker 4: was allegedly set upon by a group of people. Now
- 22:54Speaker 4: the trial for this case has just recently started. The
- 22:57Speaker 4: prosecutors are saying that he was knocked to the ground
- 23:01Speaker 4: and deliberately stracked to the head with a metal poll. Now,
- 23:04Speaker 4: because this is a trial that is ongoing, I'm not
- 23:07Speaker 4: going to talk any more about the specifics of the
- 23:09Speaker 4: case because I don't want to jeopardize it in any way,
- 23:12Speaker 4: but what I do want to talk about is.
- 23:15Speaker 2: The reaction when he died.
- 23:17Speaker 4: Now, Cassius Turvy was an Aboriginal boy, a fifteen year
- 23:21Speaker 4: old Aboriginal boy, and so there was an outcry after
- 23:25Speaker 4: he died, he died ten days after he was allegedly attacked,
- 23:29Speaker 4: that this was a racist attack, that this was a
- 23:32Speaker 4: racially motivated attack.
- 23:34Speaker 2: On an Aboriginal boy.
- 23:36Speaker 4: You can see the headline there that Al Jazeera ran
- 23:38Speaker 4: with the racist killing of Cassius Turvy. That chopped Australia,
- 23:43Speaker 4: and even the Prime Minister brought into it at the time.
- 23:47Speaker 4: He's Anthony Albanezi in October twenty twenty two talking about this.
- 23:51Speaker 1: This is just a terrible tragedy.
- 23:55Speaker 10: And this attack that clearly is racially mot just breaks
- 24:02Speaker 10: your heart. We're a better country than that.
- 24:06Speaker 4: It's clearly racially motivated, he says, and he finishes, we
- 24:10Speaker 4: are a better country than that. Well, Prime Minister, we
- 24:14Speaker 4: are a better country than that. Because it has now
- 24:17Speaker 4: come to light in the trial that it.
- 24:19Speaker 2: Was not a racially motivated attack.
- 24:23Speaker 4: In fact, the prosecutor, this is the person running the case,
- 24:26Speaker 4: said there was not one shred of evidence that this
- 24:30Speaker 4: was a racially motivated attack, and Anthony Albanezi, the Prime
- 24:35Speaker 4: Minister and all his race baiting mates three years ago
- 24:39Speaker 4: could not wait to say that because an Aboriginal boy
- 24:42Speaker 4: had died after an alleged attack, that it was a
- 24:45Speaker 4: racially motivated attack. Well, Prime Minister, now, knowing that the
- 24:49Speaker 4: country is better than you thought it was back then,
- 24:52Speaker 4: when will your apology be forthcoming? You stood up and
- 24:56Speaker 4: made it look like we are a country full of
- 24:58Speaker 4: people who were just set up pot an Aboriginal boy
- 25:01Speaker 4: when you had no evidence of that being the case,
- 25:03Speaker 4: and it is now said in court that he's not
- 25:06Speaker 4: the case at all. He should apologize yesterday, let alone
- 25:10Speaker 4: today and.
- 25:11Speaker 2: Tomorrow, and what are the chances zero?
- 25:14Speaker 5: Of course I saw, I just saw a pink line.
- 25:17Speaker 5: Oh my god, quickly bracious.
- 25:19Speaker 1: Now it wasn't just a prime minister, an activist at
- 25:22Speaker 1: Curtin University who doubles as a lecturer in justice. Would
- 25:26Speaker 1: you believe it? Said? The refusal of police at the
- 25:29Speaker 1: time of the crime to talk about racism was extremely disappointing. Now,
- 25:34Speaker 1: at the time police said we're not going to talk
- 25:36Speaker 1: about motives because we're still investigating. We haven't established what
- 25:40Speaker 1: it was, but the Nunga nation, that's the area of
- 25:45Speaker 1: indigenoity where the crime was committed. They put out a
- 25:48Speaker 1: joint statement talking about black deaths in custody, the stereotyping
- 25:53Speaker 1: of black children, that there's no black people on juries,
- 25:57Speaker 1: and even asked what if this was a white kid
- 25:59Speaker 1: who had been killed? What would be happening now we
- 26:01Speaker 1: turn out now we find out it had absolutely nothing
- 26:05Speaker 1: to do with race. And also they've got the Prime minister,
- 26:07Speaker 1: you've got university academics, you've got aboriginal activists, and every
- 26:13Speaker 1: single one of them were wrong. There will be a
- 26:15Speaker 1: conger line of apologies there.
- 26:18Speaker 5: Should be, but there's not going to be. Let's be
- 26:20Speaker 5: real about this and face facts.
- 26:22Speaker 6: They're not going to issue an apology on this. And
- 26:25Speaker 6: the thing is right, what proof did everyone have? We've
- 26:27Speaker 6: already said, but what proof did everyone have that this
- 26:31Speaker 6: was racially motivated other than the color of Cassier's skin.
- 26:34Speaker 6: If that's not racist, then I don't know what is right.
- 26:37Speaker 6: And I'll tell you if it was a white boy
- 26:39Speaker 6: that was killed, there certainly will never be protests or
- 26:42Speaker 6: vigils or go fummies are all these things being held
- 26:45Speaker 6: at the nationwide level.
- 26:47Speaker 5: So for me, I think that this was summed up really.
- 26:50Speaker 6: Well by Andrew Ruhl and Mark Butler who wrote about
- 26:54Speaker 6: this in The Herald Sun, where they said the facts
- 26:56Speaker 6: are awful enough for the Turvy family without any needless spin,
- 27:00Speaker 6: speculation and rumor. The simple fact is that Cassius Turvy
- 27:05Speaker 6: was assaulted while coming home from school and died ten
- 27:08Speaker 6: days later.
- 27:10Speaker 5: Isn't that all we had to go off, not just
- 27:13Speaker 5: then but now? But instead it got blown up to
- 27:15Speaker 5: be this issue about race.
- 27:17Speaker 6: And again, Australians are so tired of this. We are
- 27:20Speaker 6: so fatigued by these conversations.
- 27:22Speaker 5: Anytime any level of.
- 27:24Speaker 6: Injustice occurs at know, to a minority group, to an
- 27:28Speaker 6: Indigenous Australian, to a woman, all of a sudden, it's sexism,
- 27:32Speaker 6: All of a sudden, it's racism.
- 27:34Speaker 5: I'm so sick of the labels.
- 27:36Speaker 6: When do we move past this and start treating each
- 27:38Speaker 6: other as fellow Australians, not an Indigenous Australian and ethnic
- 27:42Speaker 6: Australian a Chinese like we are fellow Australians in this country,
- 27:47Speaker 6: and we are so tired of feeling as though we
- 27:49Speaker 6: are secondary citizens to the indigenous, and it needs to
- 27:52Speaker 6: be said because too many times and in cases like this,
- 27:56Speaker 6: look at how harmful something like this can be. You
- 27:58Speaker 6: can get people really hot instantly thinking that, right, I'm
- 28:02Speaker 6: feeling if I'm a person of color, I'm feeling as though,
- 28:04Speaker 6: if anything happens to me now all of.
- 28:06Speaker 5: A sudden, it's going to be racially motivated. Enough is enough.
- 28:10Speaker 4: And we talked about weaponization before because it cause Dreyfus said, oh,
- 28:14Speaker 4: anti Semitism shouldn't be weaponized for television ratings, et cetera.
- 28:18Speaker 4: But what we're talking about here is the case of
- 28:21Speaker 4: an Aboriginal boy dying that was weaponized for the purposes
- 28:26Speaker 4: of racial politics, right, falsely weaponized for the purposes of
- 28:30Speaker 4: racial politics. And the Turvy family has obviously gone through enough.
- 28:35Speaker 4: His mother has done excellent work in Michelle.
- 28:38Speaker 5: He's a beautiful since and then she's.
- 28:40Speaker 4: Been the West Australian of the Year, et cetera, because she's,
- 28:45Speaker 4: you know, said, the legacy of my child is never
- 28:47Speaker 4: going to die, and good on her for doing it.
- 28:49Speaker 6: She she also donated to Caleb. Don't forget all of
- 28:52Speaker 6: the money that was raised. She donated them to youth charities.
- 28:55Speaker 5: Et cetera to assist with them.
- 28:57Speaker 4: But they have been through enough without people Anthony Alberaninzi
- 29:01Speaker 4: running around using the death of a dead boy to say, oh, well,
- 29:06Speaker 4: I'm going to make a point about racial politics here.
- 29:08Speaker 2: And that's the thing he was. The death was weaponized.
- 29:12Speaker 4: And if Albow and all his mates want to walk
- 29:15Speaker 4: the walk about racism, they now have to come out
- 29:18Speaker 4: and apologize for what they said.
- 29:20Speaker 2: Otherwise they are admitting that they don't really care. But
- 29:25Speaker 2: black I didn't give us. It doesn't matter. You're just
- 29:28Speaker 2: there to be part of my war on race.
- 29:31Speaker 1: I think Lucy, you made a really good point that
- 29:33Speaker 1: the claim of prejudice in that killing revealed the prejudice
- 29:37Speaker 1: of the people making the claim, of course, And isn't
- 29:40Speaker 1: the contrast interesting with Anthony Alberanzi coming straight out of
- 29:43Speaker 1: the blocks racism Australia has got to be better than that,
- 29:46Speaker 1: compared to his very slow tortoiselight response to anti Semitism,
- 29:51Speaker 1: where there's a lot of equivocation, and it just goes
- 29:54Speaker 1: to show that the prejudice and the bias of those
- 29:57Speaker 1: people who were very quick out of the blocks. Talk
- 30:00Speaker 1: about Victoria for a moment because they're in all sorts
- 30:03Speaker 1: of trouble but trying to extricate themselves. You remember, just
- 30:06Speaker 1: Into Alan just a week ago, came out and said,
- 30:09Speaker 1: bail laws are too soft. We need to do something
- 30:12Speaker 1: about them. We're going to have a review, and we are.
- 30:14Speaker 1: Really she's had to come to Jesus moment, except she
- 30:17Speaker 1: forgot to tell her police minister, who didn't know anything
- 30:20Speaker 1: about the review. Well, she's had another Damascus Rode conversion,
- 30:24Speaker 1: suddenly realizing we need to go through the state's finances
- 30:27Speaker 1: and eliminate waste because there's too much wastage of taxpayer money.
- 30:32Speaker 1: Can you believe that? Just into Allan, the Premier of Labor,
- 30:34Speaker 1: Victoria is saying this. Her treasurer is kind of on board,
- 30:39Speaker 1: but you remember her treasurer is still trying to come
- 30:42Speaker 1: to terms with economic lingo. She put out an email
- 30:46Speaker 1: to treasury staff recently saying, Hey, when you email my office,
- 30:50Speaker 1: please don't use too many economic terms because I've only
- 30:53Speaker 1: been in the job a week and I'm still trying
- 30:55Speaker 1: to learn what it all means. Here she is speaking
- 30:57Speaker 1: to the media today. It was the fund the.
- 31:02Speaker 11: Fiscal strategy, which is the five step well documented. People
- 31:07Speaker 11: don't like the language fiscal strategy, I don't think, which
- 31:09Speaker 11: is why I refer to it as the plan. But
- 31:11Speaker 11: you understand us what I'm talking about when I talk
- 31:13Speaker 11: about fiscal strategy, the five step plan in relation to
- 31:16Speaker 11: stabilizing debt.
- 31:18Speaker 1: Oh confidence, she's learned a new word, official strategy.
- 31:25Speaker 2: Well done, Jacqueline.
- 31:27Speaker 1: She goes on to say she's going to have a
- 31:29Speaker 1: quote laser focus on every dollar of expenditure. What an
- 31:35Speaker 1: amazing thing for the Victorian labor government to do a
- 31:38Speaker 1: laser focus. They're going to start now, why didn't they
- 31:40Speaker 1: start nine years ago? Why didn't they start when they
- 31:43Speaker 1: proposed to hold the Commonwealth Games and then paid millions
- 31:45Speaker 1: of dollars not to or spend forty thousand dollars on
- 31:48Speaker 1: a dining room table.
- 31:50Speaker 6: Lovely table, lovely table, spent.
- 31:53Speaker 1: What was it, over a billion dollars on the my key.
- 31:55Speaker 2: System last point one point seven.
- 31:58Speaker 1: Yeah, laser focus. You don't need laser the focus blind.
- 32:01Speaker 1: Freddy can see all the wastage that's happened in Victoria
- 32:04Speaker 1: under their leaders.
- 32:05Speaker 4: They could do with a few lasers to go through
- 32:07Speaker 4: and burn some stuff. But can you imagine Jeckeln Simons.
- 32:11Speaker 4: You know, I don't know if you must go home
- 32:13Speaker 4: to her parents.
- 32:14Speaker 2: I learned and you word today, Mummy and Daddy fiscal
- 32:17Speaker 2: fiscal strategy.
- 32:18Speaker 5: Don't you believe it.
- 32:19Speaker 2: I'm the Premierre Victoria.
- 32:21Speaker 1: I'm implete.
- 32:22Speaker 2: It is absolutely pathetic, this mob.
- 32:26Speaker 4: I mean, you wouldn't trust them to organize and you
- 32:29Speaker 4: know what in a brothel, seriously, and they are in
- 32:31Speaker 4: charge of the state.
- 32:32Speaker 2: And this is the thing. Daniel Andrews pulled.
- 32:35Speaker 4: The greatest swifty of all time when he sniffed the
- 32:37Speaker 4: wind and worked out that the tide had turned just
- 32:41Speaker 4: a little too far for him and he said, okay,
- 32:43Speaker 4: I'm out of here. So he's gone off. He's signed
- 32:46Speaker 4: up as the chair of a mental health youth mental
- 32:49Speaker 4: health board, and he's taken on a job with the
- 32:52Speaker 4: Pratts and now he's an adviser to Anthony Alberizi in
- 32:56Speaker 4: the lead up to the election.
- 32:58Speaker 2: He's doing really well for himself.
- 33:00Speaker 4: And on the way out he handed the absolute you
- 33:03Speaker 4: know what sandwich that he created over Cina Allen and
- 33:06Speaker 4: her cronies and said you go and.
- 33:08Speaker 2: Sort that and annoy it. What's happened to them? What's
- 33:12Speaker 2: happened to that. It's absolutely handed.
- 33:15Speaker 1: The hilarious thing is right there. So they've announced a
- 33:17Speaker 1: review when they'll get someone in, a former Secretary of
- 33:19Speaker 1: Cabinet to come in and do this review to work
- 33:22Speaker 1: out how many public servants they should sack to try
- 33:25Speaker 1: and get the budget back under control. But last year
- 33:29Speaker 1: the Department of the Premier spent one point one five
- 33:32Speaker 1: million dollars on external consultants to advise what do we
- 33:36Speaker 1: do about public servant numbers? As we all know, public
- 33:39Speaker 1: servent numbers have just kept going up. Of course, they
- 33:42Speaker 1: announced these reviews to try to fool everybody into thinking, oh,
- 33:46Speaker 1: they're doing something about it, they're taking it seriously, but
- 33:49Speaker 1: it won't make any difference. It will just cost taxpayers
- 33:52Speaker 1: even more money.
- 33:52Speaker 6: Can I just tell you something, if they end up
- 33:55Speaker 6: voting in labor again next year in November, I will
- 33:58Speaker 6: I'm promising you right now on the air, I will
- 34:00Speaker 6: never ever come to Victoria ever again.
- 34:03Speaker 5: You can't do it.
- 34:04Speaker 6: You can't do it to yourselves and you cannot do
- 34:07Speaker 6: it to us. Given everything that's been put on display here,
- 34:10Speaker 6: the misadventure when it comes to taxpayer spending, the absolute
- 34:14Speaker 6: shambolic debt that they are in. You know, this is
- 34:18Speaker 6: also the government as well that gave I think it
- 34:19Speaker 6: was about five hundred thousand dollars to the sick community
- 34:23Speaker 6: to celebrate their religious leaders five hundred.
- 34:26Speaker 5: And fifty fifth birthday. And we're renaming suburbs.
- 34:30Speaker 4: Right right, the noses of Social Security.
- 34:34Speaker 5: Yeah, he was exactly. He'd been on the register also
- 34:37Speaker 5: over in the US. Don't worry about that. But when
- 34:40Speaker 5: you just really start.
- 34:41Speaker 6: To drill down into how shocking they have been with money,
- 34:44Speaker 6: and then you get someone like a Jacqueline Simes who says,
- 34:47Speaker 6: this was her verbatim email that was apparently leaked, stop
- 34:50Speaker 6: using economic terms and phrase in all communications, emails, et.
- 34:53Speaker 5: Cetera with the treasurer. And she doesn't have a clue
- 34:56Speaker 5: what they are talking about.
- 34:58Speaker 6: You know what, we didn't need that to come out
- 34:59Speaker 6: because we you talk, Jack, and we can see you
- 35:01Speaker 6: don't have a damn clue.
- 35:02Speaker 1: What you're talking of.
- 35:03Speaker 2: Honesty in politics. He so you say you won't go
- 35:07Speaker 2: back there. No, I've got to.
- 35:09Speaker 4: Keep going back there because it's the only place in
- 35:10Speaker 4: the country that's got jumps racing. But when they have
- 35:14Speaker 4: the election next year twenty twenty six right, that would
- 35:17Speaker 4: give them another four years which goes through to twenty thirty.
- 35:20Speaker 4: But you mightn't even have to worry about it because
- 35:23Speaker 4: Victoria is in such a parlas. The Yarra Council has
- 35:29Speaker 4: commissioned what they call a piece of art. I don't
- 35:32Speaker 4: know that it really qualifies as a piece of art, but.
- 35:35Speaker 5: It's a doomsday the piece of something right and.
- 35:37Speaker 4: Put up in the Edinburgh Gardens in Fitzroy and it
- 35:41Speaker 4: is counting down the minutes and seconds to doomsday, which
- 35:45Speaker 4: is apparently in twenty twenty, sorry, twenty thirty according to
- 35:49Speaker 4: that clock. Eighteen grand the council spent on that someone
- 35:53Speaker 4: was given a woman was given eighteen grand to get
- 35:56Speaker 4: a bit of concrete and bug an led screen in
- 35:59Speaker 4: the middle, but with a ticking down.
- 36:01Speaker 1: Can we put that image back on the screen again
- 36:04Speaker 1: so viewers can see it. That plinth once supported a
- 36:08Speaker 1: statue of Queen Victoria. Oh, how that plinth has fallen?
- 36:13Speaker 1: They were on top of it. How is that a workut?
- 36:16Speaker 1: A box with a solar panel of course on top.
- 36:20Speaker 1: And you go to Fitzroy Gardens in Melbourne so you
- 36:22Speaker 1: can look at a doomsday clock set to twenty thirty,
- 36:25Speaker 1: because that's when the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change we
- 36:29Speaker 1: don't produce put by that stage, then we're all doomed. Honestly,
- 36:34Speaker 1: the only person who will enjoy that display is Greta Tunberg.
- 36:38Speaker 1: She will think that is marvelous. But every other Victorian
- 36:40Speaker 1: eighteen thousand dollars for that, can you believe it?
- 36:44Speaker 4: I want her to be there when it ticks down
- 36:46Speaker 4: to zero and then the world just keeps going on.
- 36:49Speaker 4: After that, they should all hang and have a vigil
- 36:51Speaker 4: and they're all going to die to.
- 36:53Speaker 6: Be on fire now, according to her, we're going to
- 36:56Speaker 6: go to a break.
- 36:57Speaker 1: When we come back, we'll look at what's making news
- 36:59Speaker 1: in tomorrow's PA, including a foreign born killer guilty of
- 37:04Speaker 1: not one, but two murders allowed to stay in Australia
- 37:07Speaker 1: because labor have bungled the visa guidelines. That's coming up
- 37:11Speaker 1: in just a moment. Welcome back. Let's take a look
- 37:18Speaker 1: at what's making news tomorrow. There's a lot of news around.
- 37:21Speaker 1: We'll start with tomorrow's front page of The Australian. You've
- 37:24Speaker 1: got that, Caleb, indeed, and I apologize.
- 37:26Speaker 4: I know it's a Thursday night and you're trying to
- 37:28Speaker 4: slip nicely into the weekend. This will make your blood boil,
- 37:31Speaker 4: but it's the reality, so we've got to show it
- 37:33Speaker 4: to you. Grow tesque moment calculated to break a nation's heart.
- 37:37Speaker 4: Hamas staged a horrific and inhumane handover of four dead
- 37:42Speaker 4: hostages out of the young Berbas family and one of
- 37:45Speaker 4: the oldest hostages. I did Liftshits eighty three on Thursday night,
- 37:50Speaker 4: ignoring please by Israel and the International Red Cross for
- 37:53Speaker 4: a respectful handover in private. Hamas had prominently displayed four
- 37:57Speaker 4: black coffins at the front of the stay, in the
- 38:00Speaker 4: same location where six previous handovers of.
- 38:03Speaker 1: Live hostages took place.
- 38:05Speaker 4: Now you'll be able to see the images there of
- 38:08Speaker 4: those coffins on the stage there, of course, this is
- 38:12Speaker 4: part of their propaganda machine right and behind them behind
- 38:17Speaker 4: those coffins is an image of Benjamin Nette Yahoo, which
- 38:23Speaker 4: you can't see in full. His head's not visible in
- 38:26Speaker 4: the photo, but he is depicted there as Dracula. And
- 38:30Speaker 4: then the photos you can see below him are of
- 38:33Speaker 4: the Bibas family who are dead, and in those coffins
- 38:37Speaker 4: the mother and Kafir and little Ariel, which of course
- 38:41Speaker 4: Sharry has been talking about recently and mister Lifshitz. And
- 38:45Speaker 4: on the edge of the stage, next to the coffins
- 38:49Speaker 4: are a couple of missiles which have written on them
- 38:53Speaker 4: they were killed by USA bombs.
- 38:56Speaker 2: They meaning the hostages, who of course.
- 38:58Speaker 4: Are now dead, can see down the front of that
- 39:01Speaker 4: image it says at the front of the stage, we
- 39:03Speaker 4: never forgave nor forgot our AXA flood, which is what
- 39:07Speaker 4: they call the attack on October seven, was our promise.
- 39:11Speaker 4: I mean, is it not enough that you are handing
- 39:16Speaker 4: back dead Israelis in exchange for living Palestinian prisoners, that
- 39:24Speaker 4: you then had to go and turn it into some
- 39:26Speaker 4: kind of.
- 39:27Speaker 2: Show, as though they deserved it.
- 39:30Speaker 4: I mean, you know, it is hard to think of
- 39:33Speaker 4: anything more callous. It's bad enough that people were taken,
- 39:36Speaker 4: and of course, if you're the Bibas family or the
- 39:39Speaker 4: Lifshitz family, that you have lost a person in that circumstance,
- 39:43Speaker 4: but to then, at the moment before you get to
- 39:46Speaker 4: take them back so you can bury them and treat
- 39:49Speaker 4: their death in the best way you possibly can. They're
- 39:52Speaker 4: paraded before the world like that.
- 39:55Speaker 2: What do you say?
- 39:56Speaker 1: I'd love to hear from Penny Wong on this I'd
- 39:58Speaker 1: love Penny Wong to come out plain looking at that photograph,
- 40:02Speaker 1: or worse, looking at the images of how it all
- 40:04Speaker 1: played out. Explain to me how you can say Israel
- 40:08Speaker 1: must show restraint. Tell me one parent who would show restraint,
- 40:12Speaker 1: Tell me one family member, tell me one government that
- 40:14Speaker 1: would show restraint when that's what's being done to their babies.
- 40:18Speaker 1: How Penny one can call for a ceasefire Israel should
- 40:21Speaker 1: get all of their hostages back and then go straight
- 40:24Speaker 1: back in until every last Hamas terrorist is killed. How
- 40:29Speaker 1: Penny one can call for a two state solution when
- 40:32Speaker 1: the people you're asking to partner with Israel for peace
- 40:36Speaker 1: are doing this as part of the ceasefire program. It
- 40:41Speaker 1: just boggles my mind.
- 40:43Speaker 6: What about what they did to that? What about what
- 40:45Speaker 6: they did to their women? What about what they did
- 40:47Speaker 6: to their women?
- 40:48Speaker 1: Or when you go on all night about that, I
- 40:50Speaker 1: must have done and I.
- 40:51Speaker 6: Had to apologize to the both of you, and I
- 40:53Speaker 6: hope it doesn't happen again, because I actually broke down
- 40:55Speaker 6: in tears when I saw the photographs of these coffins,
- 40:57Speaker 6: their little baby. That's little babies in there, it's kids
- 41:00Speaker 6: in there, And if you're a parent, and you look
- 41:03Speaker 6: at that and that doesn't really strike a chord with
- 41:06Speaker 6: you that I'm not sure what will. And the toll
- 41:09Speaker 6: that this has taken on so many people right just
- 41:11Speaker 6: observing this as parents, watching the heartbreak unfold, and the
- 41:16Speaker 6: fact that they have the right or even the ability
- 41:19Speaker 6: to stand back and say those on the Palestinian side
- 41:23Speaker 6: that you know what, well, look at what you've done
- 41:25Speaker 6: to us, look at what's been going on historically, and
- 41:28Speaker 6: to feel as though that is somehow justified when you
- 41:31Speaker 6: look at photographs of baby coffins in all of this. Right,
- 41:36Speaker 6: And we spoke about it last night and we said,
- 41:38Speaker 6: there are innocent lives that have been lost on both
- 41:40Speaker 6: sides of the fence here, right, and needlessly lost. This
- 41:43Speaker 6: needs to come to an end, right. But none of
- 41:46Speaker 6: this would have happened if those precious babies and all
- 41:48Speaker 6: of those lives that were taken that day on October seven,
- 41:52Speaker 6: none of this would have occurred had they not made
- 41:54Speaker 6: that decision to do that. And I also made the
- 41:57Speaker 6: comment to you, James, I said, if I was that mother,
- 42:01Speaker 6: or if I was, you know, the relative of somebody
- 42:04Speaker 6: who had been taken as a hostage, take race out
- 42:07Speaker 6: of this, take Israeli palacin whatever, take it out of
- 42:09Speaker 6: this and just think, as a human being on this subject,
- 42:13Speaker 6: if my family member had been taken by terrorists in
- 42:16Speaker 6: this situation, you bet your bottom dollar I would want
- 42:19Speaker 6: them to bomb the hell out of that country until
- 42:22Speaker 6: they were returned.
- 42:23Speaker 5: So just think about it in that context.
- 42:26Speaker 1: And it's true. You know, kids have been killed on
- 42:28Speaker 1: both sides of the conflict, and that is absolutely terrible.
- 42:34Speaker 1: But always keep in mind only one side of this
- 42:36Speaker 1: conflict used babies as human shields, and only one side
- 42:41Speaker 1: on this conflict has paraded babies dead babies as propaganda
- 42:45Speaker 1: and gloated over their deaths. So you're dealing with two
- 42:49Speaker 1: very different cultures.
- 42:51Speaker 4: Yeah, and they had a sign up there that said
- 42:53Speaker 4: the war criminal Ntan Yahu and his Nazi army killed
- 42:56Speaker 4: them with missiles from zardas warplans them. Of course, for
- 43:00Speaker 4: people in the coffins.
- 43:01Speaker 2: Well, news flash, you animals.
- 43:04Speaker 4: If you hadn't gone into Israel on October the seventh,
- 43:07Speaker 4: there wouldn't be any missiles coming down on Gaza, would there.
- 43:11Speaker 4: Let's go to another story on the front of the
- 43:13Speaker 4: Olds Tomorrow contract killer to keep Ozzie visa a double
- 43:17Speaker 4: murderer convicted over a contract killing, has been spared deportation
- 43:21Speaker 4: under Labour's revised ministerial direction after a tribunal found his
- 43:25Speaker 4: ties to Australia and level of rehabilitation outweighed community expectations
- 43:31Speaker 4: that he should never be granted a visa. Isn't it fantastic?
- 43:35Speaker 4: You know here in Australia you can be a contract killer,
- 43:39Speaker 4: but you've got some connections to the country, much much
- 43:43Speaker 4: like in the UK. If your teen year old son
- 43:45Speaker 4: doesn't like the chicken nuggets in Albania, will you get
- 43:48Speaker 4: to stay as well?
- 43:50Speaker 1: Please? Did I hear you right when you said a
- 43:52Speaker 1: non citizens connections in Australia? Yes, outweighed community expectations. The
- 43:58Speaker 1: community being Australian citizens. So the feelings, the desires, the
- 44:03Speaker 1: rights of a non citizen according to the regulations the
- 44:08Speaker 1: Labor government put in place outweigh the desires, the feelings,
- 44:12Speaker 1: the rights of citizens. That tells you everything you need
- 44:16Speaker 1: to know.
- 44:16Speaker 5: Welcome to twenty twenty five.
- 44:18Speaker 1: If she bring on twenty twenty five and a half
- 44:21Speaker 1: after the election, when hopefully there'll be some sense, let's
- 44:24Speaker 1: go the front page of the Daily Telegraph, Peter Dutton
- 44:27Speaker 1: tells the Antisemitism Summit today, I'll scrap visas over hate.
- 44:33Speaker 1: Opposition leader Peter Dutton will tear up visas on the
- 44:35Speaker 1: grounds of anti Semitic retric if he wins the next election,
- 44:39Speaker 1: while the former Home Affairs Secretary says a national emergency
- 44:42Speaker 1: should have already been called into the crisis that has
- 44:45Speaker 1: the Jewish community living in fear Tony. Mister Dutton told
- 44:50Speaker 1: the audience that the Central Synagogue in Bondai his government
- 44:53Speaker 1: would not hesitate to deport visa holding non citizens spreading
- 44:56Speaker 1: anti Semitic hatred in Australia. I think everybody would agree
- 45:01Speaker 1: that is an absolutely right thing to do. And he
- 45:03Speaker 1: also said that this would be dated back to October seven,
- 45:08Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, so anybody since then under a coalition
- 45:12Speaker 1: government that's been spreading anti Semitic rehetoric who's here on
- 45:15Speaker 1: a visa would be immediately deported. I hope he's elected,
- 45:18Speaker 1: if only for that would make the country a lot better.
- 45:21Speaker 1: While we're on the front page of the day, he telegraph.
- 45:24Speaker 1: My friend Caleb Bond, who watches far too many cartoons,
- 45:27Speaker 1: pointed out, just have a look at the front page.
- 45:29Speaker 2: I thought we established that was loose.
- 45:31Speaker 6: You're you're going to get done under the safety karont.
- 45:36Speaker 1: Of Tony Burke there now, does he remind you of anyone? Caleb?
- 45:39Speaker 2: He does. He reminds me of Wallace from Wallace to
- 45:42Speaker 2: look at the green on him.
- 45:44Speaker 4: I mean, you know, if Bert got a little less here,
- 45:46Speaker 4: it would be the same bloke. We've got wensley Dale
- 45:50Speaker 4: Wallace as the Minister for Immigration.
- 45:53Speaker 2: Cracking cheese from it. I love Wallace and grommt by
- 45:56Speaker 2: the way, and now that I have had to go
- 45:58Speaker 2: through looking at Tony Burr can see that bear. It's
- 46:01Speaker 2: rather put me off. I'm not sure I'm gonna watch.
- 46:03Speaker 1: It anybody They gonna do any more papers After that,
- 46:05Speaker 1: we're going to leave it on a high. We're going
- 46:07Speaker 1: to go to a break when we come back. Scott
- 46:09Speaker 1: Morrison lost his photo album. Someone's found it. They don't
- 46:12Speaker 1: want to give it back. We'll talk about that in

- 49:48Speaker 1: Now, most of us would have been to an opshop,
- 49:54Speaker 1: browsing around for a bargain, rummaging through bins trying to
- 49:57Speaker 1: find something someone had tossed out as trash but it
- 50:00Speaker 1: might be treasure to you. Well, someone in a Sydney
- 50:03Speaker 1: Salvation Army op shop was rummaging through some books and
- 50:07Speaker 1: found a photo album and thought this looks interesting. They
- 50:10Speaker 1: opened it up to discover it was photographs of Scott Morrison,
- 50:14Speaker 1: former Australian Prime Minister. In fact, it's a family photo album.
- 50:18Speaker 1: This person bought the album and now has it as
- 50:21Speaker 1: a coffee table memento. Scott Morrison has asked that it
- 50:25Speaker 1: be returned. It's Scott photographs of him at New Year's Eve,
- 50:29Speaker 1: lounging around at the Sheraton Mirage Resort on the Gold Coast,
- 50:32Speaker 1: having a holiday in Port Douglas, What about in Hawaii?
- 50:40Speaker 1: Scott Morrison said, hey, I'd love it if you would
- 50:43Speaker 1: return it. We threw it out accidentally not realizing we
- 50:46Speaker 1: discarded it. But the person who's purchased it said no, no,
- 50:49Speaker 1: I paid money for it. It looks very good on
- 50:51Speaker 1: my coffee table. It's a great talking piece Lucy in
- 50:54Speaker 1: your home. But is it a decent thing to give
- 50:56Speaker 1: it back?
- 50:57Speaker 13: Oh?
- 50:57Speaker 5: Find us keepers? What happened to that? Right? And what's
- 51:00Speaker 5: he doing throwing out a photo album? Who was behind?
- 51:03Speaker 5: That's probably?
- 51:04Speaker 2: I want to know that probably is a question. Who
- 51:06Speaker 2: throws out a photo app how.
- 51:08Speaker 5: Does that happen accidentally?
- 51:09Speaker 4: By the way, but if but if you know it
- 51:12Speaker 4: was an accident, And he's like, what do they pay
- 51:15Speaker 4: three bucks for it or something minimal? And he said,
- 51:17Speaker 4: can I have the photo album back? Like, what what
- 51:19Speaker 4: do you want with Scott Morrison's photo album? What are
- 51:22Speaker 4: you going to have dinner parties? And you're like, oh,
- 51:24Speaker 4: look what I have to show you.
- 51:27Speaker 5: Exactly what's going to happen.
- 51:28Speaker 1: It's a great talking point.
- 51:29Speaker 5: Remotely suppose.
- 51:31Speaker 4: Look, I would if it were me, i'd hand it back,
- 51:33Speaker 4: but I'd ask to keep. Specifically, there's a photo of
- 51:36Speaker 4: him in there, sort of like face first in the bed,
- 51:39Speaker 4: and it says next to it that he was very,
- 51:41Speaker 4: very very tired because he's had too many Guinnesses.
- 51:45Speaker 2: I'd keep that one, just to pit it up on
- 51:47Speaker 2: the wall.
- 51:48Speaker 1: So you give him his photo album back and he's
- 51:50Speaker 1: thank you so much, and then you go through it
- 51:52Speaker 1: and there's photos missing.
- 51:54Speaker 2: No, no, I think that's just the bargaining chip.
- 51:56Speaker 4: I'll let you have it back, but I want to
- 51:58Speaker 4: have that photuct But see, I I love op shops
- 52:00Speaker 4: and I go to auctions, and I'm obsessed with this stuff.
- 52:03Speaker 4: But I went into a sell those op shop once
- 52:05Speaker 4: and I bought a painting for eight dollars and it
- 52:08Speaker 4: had written on the back.
- 52:09Speaker 2: Of it the address of the artist.
- 52:10Speaker 4: And I looked up the address that I found a
- 52:12Speaker 4: phone number, and I thought I would call up and
- 52:14Speaker 4: see what the go is with this piece. And they
- 52:17Speaker 4: could have had it back if they wanted it, but
- 52:19Speaker 4: they didn't ask for it. Unfortunately, didn't get the artist,
- 52:21Speaker 4: but I got the artist's daughter.

- 52:47Speaker 4: It was a missing Remind me, wasn't there a story
- 52:49Speaker 4: a few years ago someone bought a filing cabinet they
- 52:52Speaker 4: opened it up, his government documents.
