- 0:00Speaker 1: Lately welcome wait to pay.
- 0:06Speaker 2: Well, good evening and thanks for joining us on the
- 0:08Speaker 2: late debate James Macpherson with freyer Leach and filling in
- 0:11Speaker 2: for Caleb Bond is Joe Hilda Brand coming up tonight.
- 0:15Speaker 2: Creators of the new Superman movie claim it's a film
- 0:18Speaker 2: about immigration, with Superman's the illegal immigrant in need of
- 0:23Speaker 2: kindness moving Hollywood ever learn Plus, have you ever left
- 0:29Speaker 2: a restaurant without paying? Australia Zoo's Robert Irwin did just that,
- 0:33Speaker 2: but what happened next has surprised everyone, And of course
- 0:36Speaker 2: we'll bring you tomorrow's newspaper headlines a little later tonight.
- 0:39Speaker 2: But first Victorian Premier to Center Allen, never one to
- 0:43Speaker 2: let the crisis go untrivialized, has announced a bold new
- 0:46Speaker 2: plan to tackle rising anti Semitism in Victoria. She's launched,
- 0:50Speaker 2: wait for it, an anti.
- 0:51Speaker 1: Hate task Force.
- 0:53Speaker 2: This task force, on the heels of the last task Force, will,
- 0:57Speaker 2: as the name suggests, tackle hate than just Center. Allen
- 1:00Speaker 2: is very worked up about hate. She's so worked up
- 1:03Speaker 2: about hate she waited three days to visit the scene
- 1:06Speaker 2: of Victoria's most recent hate crime, an arson attack on
- 1:09Speaker 2: a Melbourne synagogue.
- 1:11Speaker 3: We spoke about the future, about how hate needs to
- 1:15Speaker 3: stop and how the Anti Hate Task Force will be convened,
- 1:19Speaker 3: working with Victoria Police, working with the Jewish community, working
- 1:22Speaker 3: with all Victorians, how we put a stop, put a
- 1:26Speaker 3: stop to this hateful behavior and recognize that hate has
- 1:30Speaker 3: no place here in our state.
- 1:33Speaker 1: This is nothing but theater.
- 1:34Speaker 2: Honestly, it's bad theater with Jacita Alan playing the lead
- 1:37Speaker 2: role of Premier trying really hard to look.
- 1:39Speaker 4: Outrage exactly, and she seems to struggle to define what
- 1:43Speaker 4: the hate actually is because they're not calling this what
- 1:46Speaker 4: it is. They're still investigating the motive for this and
- 1:50Speaker 4: looking at you know, what potential reasons might be behind
- 1:53Speaker 4: someone trying to five on the synagogue. I don't know,
- 1:56Speaker 4: maybe anti Semitism, maybe terror, but they I won't call
- 2:00Speaker 4: it that. When the Israeli government spoke out about the attack,
- 2:03Speaker 4: to the Israeli Foreign Minister off the bat, they said,
- 2:06Speaker 4: this was a terror attack. If you're serious about combating hate,
- 2:09Speaker 4: you're going to call this stuff what it is, which
- 2:11Speaker 4: is terror. But this is a government that wants to
- 2:13Speaker 4: say the right thing over here, but they're not going
- 2:16Speaker 4: to back it up with actions. They're not taking any
- 2:19Speaker 4: tangible steps to actually protect the Jewish community. And all
- 2:22Speaker 4: this is, I hate to say, is another committee, another
- 2:26Speaker 4: task force, another thing. And if they're so concerned about
- 2:29Speaker 4: the hate, why didn't they set this task force up?
- 2:32Speaker 4: I don't know twenty two months ago, right after October seven.
- 2:35Speaker 2: It's going to be some task force Joe because she
- 2:37Speaker 2: announced it will involve Victorian police, it will involve members
- 2:40Speaker 2: of the Jewish community, she said, will.
- 2:42Speaker 1: Involve all Victorians. That's quite the committee.
- 2:45Speaker 5: Yeah, it is just bonker like.
- 2:48Speaker 6: The idea that October seven was the catalyst for just
- 2:53Speaker 6: this explosion of generalized directionalist hate right everywhere that this
- 2:58Speaker 6: task force has to tackle is patently absurd. It's like
- 3:02Speaker 6: saying it's it's like if you have an accident black spot.
- 3:05Speaker 6: It's like there's a let's say, there's an intersection somewhere
- 3:07Speaker 6: in Australia where a person is killed by car every
- 3:11Speaker 6: single night, and the government's response was right, we're going
- 3:14Speaker 6: to launch an inquiry into all roads everywhere. Like it's like, no, no,
- 3:19Speaker 6: look at where it's happening, look at who it's happening to,
- 3:22Speaker 6: look at who is doing it, look at.
- 3:24Speaker 5: How it's being done.
- 3:25Speaker 6: Tackle that you don't need to tackle just all hatred everywhere,
- 3:29Speaker 6: because there's a lot of hatred everywhere. You probably don't
- 3:31Speaker 6: have the manpower or the person power for it. Just
- 3:34Speaker 6: tackle the anti semitism, Tackle the people fire bombing the synagogues,
- 3:37Speaker 6: tackle the people who are raging and rampaging through restaurants
- 3:41Speaker 6: shouting death, death to the IVF.
- 3:43Speaker 2: Well, she's got form right because when gangs went through
- 3:46Speaker 2: Northland shopping Center with machetes, she banned mache You missed
- 3:50Speaker 2: the point, and she's doing it. She gave a two
- 3:53Speaker 2: minute press conference out the front of the charred remains
- 3:56Speaker 2: of what was the door of the synagogue, and in
- 3:58Speaker 2: two minutes I counted the hate. She used it seven
- 4:01Speaker 2: times in two minutes. Hate needs to stop. Hate has
- 4:05Speaker 2: no place. She talked about this hateful experience, the hateful incident,
- 4:10Speaker 2: and she just is talking about everything except the main issue,
- 4:14Speaker 2: which of course is anti Semitism. And sure antisemitism involves
- 4:18Speaker 2: hatred of Jewish people, but that's the emotion. What's it
- 4:21Speaker 2: fueled by. It's fueled by an ideology. And if you're
- 4:25Speaker 2: too afraid to even mention the ideology, what hope of
- 4:28Speaker 2: ever dismantling it.
- 4:29Speaker 4: Well, that's the exact problem. Yes, great, this Hate task
- 4:33Speaker 4: Force is wonderful. So who's spreading the hate? Where's the
- 4:37Speaker 4: hate coming from? Let's actually name and shame the group's
- 4:40Speaker 4: propagating the hate. Maybe then we'll have a chance at
- 4:43Speaker 4: actually addressing the root causes of it. And as far
- 4:47Speaker 4: as I can tell, there are really two groups that
- 4:49Speaker 4: are advancing the hate around Australia. And I when I
- 4:52Speaker 4: was a student at you said, on the campus with
- 4:55Speaker 4: the encampments that lasted there for around two months, I
- 4:58Speaker 4: saw these two groups up close. It is radical leftists
- 5:02Speaker 4: who genuinely want to destroy Western civilization. And it is
- 5:06Speaker 4: fundamentalist Islamists who genuinely believe in a fundamentalist Islamic view
- 5:13Speaker 4: of Israel, of Jewish people of the Middle East of
- 5:16Speaker 4: the world. Really, and they've united together to try and
- 5:20Speaker 4: destroy the Jewish community and the West like that is
- 5:25Speaker 4: the fundamental ideology. But she cannot bring herself to say that.
- 5:30Speaker 4: And unless you actually called this out for what it is,
- 5:33Speaker 4: which is radicalism on the left and in radical Islam,
- 5:36Speaker 4: we have no hope at ever addressing it.
- 5:39Speaker 1: It's not just to Center Ellen either.
- 5:41Speaker 2: I noted that police talked about the Jewish restaurant in
- 5:44Speaker 2: Hardware Lane that was up TechEd. The police described the
- 5:48Speaker 2: behavior there as quote unquote disappointing.
- 5:53Speaker 6: That would be if it was like what a soccer
- 5:56Speaker 6: fan sets off a flair.
- 5:57Speaker 5: Oh, that's very disappointing, very disappointing.
- 6:00Speaker 6: Or like when you know you're in your your team losers,
- 6:03Speaker 6: you know, one zero and you don't get that final
- 6:06Speaker 6: equalizer in the last five minutes.
- 6:07Speaker 5: Oh see, that's disappointment.
- 6:09Speaker 2: Just Into Ellen then asked, after announcing this Hate Task
- 6:13Speaker 2: Force if shouts of death to the IDF were incitement,
- 6:18Speaker 2: and she said she wasn't sure. She would have to
- 6:20Speaker 2: consult with police. So on every level, they've just completely
- 6:25Speaker 2: missed on this issue. Little wonder then that just Into
- 6:30Speaker 2: Ellen is doing so badly with Victorian voters, fifty nine
- 6:34Speaker 2: percent of whom say she does not deserve to.
- 6:37Speaker 1: Be re elected. I'm wondering what the other forty one
- 6:40Speaker 1: percent are thinking.
- 6:42Speaker 2: Deaf death to the idea probably, But the other side
- 6:46Speaker 2: of it is well, fifty nine percent of Victorians believe
- 6:48Speaker 2: Labor doesn't deserve to be re elected.
- 6:50Speaker 1: In Victoria.
- 6:51Speaker 2: Sixty percent say the Liberal Party is not ready to govern.
- 6:55Speaker 2: So Joe, this is the classic pox on both your houses.
- 6:58Speaker 6: Yeah, it's very interesting, this part. So it's a face
- 7:02Speaker 6: value and on one level it looks like a really
- 7:04Speaker 6: good result for the Labor Party fifty three forty seven
- 7:07Speaker 6: two party preferred. But of course that's when people are
- 7:10Speaker 6: thinking about the Liberal Party, thinking about the coalition and
- 7:13Speaker 6: their brand, and clearly when they think about that and
- 7:16Speaker 6: they think about the absolute basket case that it has
- 7:19Speaker 6: been for years now, tearing itself apart, factional in fighting
- 7:23Speaker 6: that was already the rock bottom and then the more
- 7:26Speaker 6: a deeming thing came along and it just turned into
- 7:28Speaker 6: an absolute bin fire. And so in a poll like this,
- 7:32Speaker 6: for example, so preferred premiere by that measure, right, usually,
- 7:36Speaker 6: even when a party is right down on its knees,
- 7:41Speaker 6: you will have the existing premiere as preferred premier because
- 7:45Speaker 6: voters just incitively think, well, there is no other premiere.
- 7:48Speaker 6: How can the opposition leader's never been premiere? How can
- 7:50Speaker 6: I say they're the preferred premier? So almost a better
- 7:52Speaker 6: the devil, you know kind of thing. But then the
- 7:55Speaker 6: government will go on to lose that election and the
- 7:58Speaker 6: opposition will come in this one you've actually got a
- 8:01Speaker 6: preferred premier who is Brad Batton.
- 8:03Speaker 5: The Leader of the Liberty.
- 8:04Speaker 6: So when people think about just the leader and not
- 8:07Speaker 6: the Liberal brand, they actually want him to be in charge,
- 8:10Speaker 6: even though he's been leader for about five minutes and
- 8:12Speaker 6: has basically no I don't think he's ever got any
- 8:14Speaker 6: ministerial experience or anything like that.
- 8:16Speaker 5: None of them do, except as he was.
- 8:17Speaker 4: The police minister I think was a long.
- 8:19Speaker 1: Time, long, long time ago.
- 8:21Speaker 6: Yeah, And so they think, they think, yep, all right,
- 8:24Speaker 6: we're going to you know, we're going to back this guy.
- 8:27Speaker 6: But as soon as they think about the Liberal Party,
- 8:28Speaker 6: it instantly turns absolutely toxic. And this is a problem
- 8:32Speaker 6: not just for the Libs but for the Labor Party
- 8:34Speaker 6: because the Labor Party's best chance of actually renewing, putting
- 8:38Speaker 6: all the bad old days of the Dan Andrews misery
- 8:43Speaker 6: behind it and getting you know, a more moderate sign
- 8:46Speaker 6: from the Labor right and the leadership. And again, the
- 8:48Speaker 6: left runs everything in Victoria at the moment. If Jacinda
- 8:53Speaker 6: Allen looks like she's going to get up as Premier,
- 8:57Speaker 6: well then she continues as leader obviously, and if she
- 9:01Speaker 6: gets re elected, I mean the state goes. I mean,
- 9:05Speaker 6: it's almost unthinkable. It'd be like Cormack McCarthy's the Road.
- 9:07Speaker 6: It would just be an apocalyptic Well that's the thing.
- 9:10Speaker 4: So about twenty four percent of Labor voters don't want
- 9:14Speaker 4: to see Labor get re elected in Victoria, twenty four
- 9:17Speaker 4: percent of their own voters. But I think the risk
- 9:21Speaker 4: here is that people also don't trust the Victorian Liberal
- 9:25Speaker 4: Party and that is going to be the challenge. And
- 9:27Speaker 4: we saw this heading into the last federal election as well.
- 9:31Speaker 4: Albanezi was not popular, Dutton wasn't that popular either, but
- 9:35Speaker 4: things looked possible for the Liberal Party. They were within
- 9:39Speaker 4: reach of actually winning the election until around January February.
- 9:43Speaker 4: But then as the election date approached, Labor has the
- 9:46Speaker 4: money from all the unions. They do run a very
- 9:48Speaker 4: good scare campaign. Labour's been in for a long time.
- 9:52Speaker 4: So again, when people have to actually turn their minds
- 9:56Speaker 4: to the Liberal Party, the question will be do they
- 9:59Speaker 4: have enough credibility with Victorians to actually convert that into votes.
- 10:05Speaker 2: Well, I would argue the scare campaign run by Labor
- 10:08Speaker 2: is really quite redundant.
- 10:09Speaker 1: When the Liberals ran a pretty good scare campaign on.
- 10:11Speaker 2: Their own, DA the leader who accused one of his
- 10:14Speaker 2: own team of being a Nazi sympathizer and then sued
- 10:19Speaker 2: for defamation after refusing to concede, and then the party
- 10:23Speaker 2: basically propped him up.
- 10:24Speaker 6: Finally to help the party was after the change of leadership,
- 10:28Speaker 6: the party was actually ahead of Labor and then the
- 10:30Speaker 6: deeming stuff blew up again that he lost the court case,
- 10:34Speaker 6: and suddenly all that came back, and again, how did
- 10:36Speaker 6: the Liberal Party respond not by backing the current leader,
- 10:39Speaker 6: but by financially bailing out the formal leader for being
- 10:44Speaker 6: in hot by more than a million bucks that he
- 10:46Speaker 6: couldn't afford because he'd made every single wrong decision along
- 10:50Speaker 6: the way to that final course.
- 10:52Speaker 2: So it's like what a Liberal Party politicians and Victoria
- 10:55Speaker 2: say after shooting themselves in the footlo.
- 11:00Speaker 4: And I sort of do understand just on that point
- 11:02Speaker 4: why Brad Batton was actually in his interest for them
- 11:05Speaker 4: to bail out posuit, because if there was a by
- 11:07Speaker 4: election and the Liberals lost, that it would have been.
- 11:11Speaker 2: So what they demonstrated for was principle was not important,
- 11:14Speaker 2: Pragmatism was important, and conservative voters are always going to
- 11:18Speaker 2: shy against the Conservative Party. Allegedly that Ditcher's principle in
- 11:23Speaker 2: order for political.
- 11:25Speaker 4: Yeah, well, the whole Deeming saga was just so unfortunate.
- 11:28Speaker 4: So let's hope they can bring this shit back together
- 11:31Speaker 4: and hold on till November twenty twenty six, because that's
- 11:34Speaker 4: when the next date election will be. But it's not
- 11:36Speaker 4: just the Victorian Liberal Party that needs to rebuild itself
- 11:39Speaker 4: and regain trust. The Liberal Party at the last federal
- 11:42Speaker 4: election had one of its worst results ever, and now
- 11:46Speaker 4: of course everyone's going, well, what went wrong?
- 11:49Speaker 6: And I feel like the cricket to ask what went right?
- 11:52Speaker 5: What went right?
- 11:53Speaker 4: That's also another question we might investigate on this show.
- 11:56Speaker 4: But I feel like after every election people always say
- 12:00Speaker 4: the Liberal Party have a women's problem, and it is
- 12:03Speaker 4: true now that only about a third of Liberal MPs
- 12:07Speaker 4: around the country are women. So people are now arguing
- 12:11Speaker 4: that they need to implement gender quotas. Except a new
- 12:16Speaker 4: poll that was in the AFR today said that while
- 12:19Speaker 4: forty eight percent of people support gender quotas, twenty four
- 12:25Speaker 4: percent oppose them in twenty seven percent of no idea
- 12:28Speaker 4: what they're talking about. But even if people support them,
- 12:32Speaker 4: they're not necessarily going to convert votes. The likelihood of
- 12:36Speaker 4: voting for a liberal with a female candidate was only
- 12:40Speaker 4: twenty five percent more likely if you had a female
- 12:43Speaker 4: seven percent they were actually less likely. I'm not sure
- 12:46Speaker 4: who they are. Sixty one percent said no difference in
- 12:50Speaker 4: nine percent said unsure. So I guess this kind of
- 12:52Speaker 4: blows a hole in the central argument around quotas, which
- 12:56Speaker 4: is that if you have quotas, you're going to attract
- 12:58Speaker 4: all these voters because you'll have so many female candidates.
- 13:00Speaker 4: But it's actually not the case. Funnily enough, people care
- 13:03Speaker 4: about policy and substance more than the genuine.
- 13:05Speaker 2: I just point out why this thing is so stupid,
- 13:08Speaker 2: and I've got to have a shot at you slightly
- 13:10Speaker 2: just praise yourself. But you pointed out there twenty five
- 13:12Speaker 2: percent of people, and only twenty five percent said they'd.
- 13:15Speaker 1: Be more likely to vote for the candidate if as a.
- 13:16Speaker 2: Woman, And then you express shock that anyone would say
- 13:19Speaker 2: they were less likely to vote for a candidate because
- 13:22Speaker 2: it was a woman. Why can't you be less likely
- 13:24Speaker 2: to vote for a woman then more likely? Why is
- 13:27Speaker 2: one okay but the other is wrong? Why why that?
- 13:31Speaker 4: Well, yes, one, no, it is definitely less okay to
- 13:35Speaker 4: say I won't vote for a woman. Isn't that sexist?
- 13:39Speaker 1: But it's not sexist to say I'm more inclined to
- 13:41Speaker 1: vote for a woman.
- 13:42Speaker 4: Well, I'm not saying that's right either, but at.
- 13:44Speaker 1: Least it's the voice betrayed you.
- 13:47Speaker 6: I reckon see myself out.
- 13:50Speaker 5: I'm going to be at higher meeting, Popcorn.
- 13:51Speaker 2: And the point is that the Liberal Party you have
- 13:53Speaker 2: pretty much talked about nothing, but should we have quotas.
- 13:56Speaker 2: We've got to address out women's problem. I would say
- 13:59Speaker 2: they don't have a women's problem. They've got a female leader.
- 14:02Speaker 2: The Labor Party does not, and they need to get
- 14:05Speaker 2: on with addressing issues that matter to the country. Clearly,
- 14:09Speaker 2: which gender your local candidate is does not matter that
- 14:13Speaker 2: much to people, no matter how much they support gender quotas.
- 14:16Speaker 2: When it comes to casting their vote, the overwhelming majority
- 14:19Speaker 2: of people say, we cast our vote on issues like
- 14:22Speaker 2: tax cuts, reduction of migration, housing affordability. The gender of
- 14:28Speaker 2: the person we're voting for is kind of irrelevant. And
- 14:30Speaker 2: yet that's all the Liberal Party have talked about for
- 14:32Speaker 2: two months.
- 14:32Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, look, there's an argument you could mount
- 14:34Speaker 6: that in fact, there's a net eighteen percent of people
- 14:37Speaker 6: who would be more likely to vote for the candidate
- 14:39Speaker 6: if it's a woman, and that could be the difference
- 14:41Speaker 6: between winning and losing a seat. Fine, but that's a
- 14:43Speaker 6: different question to whether or not there should be quotas,
- 14:47Speaker 6: And I think that is my.
- 14:49Speaker 5: Whole thing in this is if you are arguing.
- 14:52Speaker 6: About whether you need quotas to fix your women problem,
- 14:57Speaker 6: you're already at a place where quotas are not going
- 14:59Speaker 6: to fix your women problem. So firstly, if you introduce quotas,
- 15:04Speaker 6: it's going to make it look like you can't get
- 15:06Speaker 6: the women on your own. You basically have to shoehorn
- 15:08Speaker 6: them in. You're going to have X number of people. Firstly,
- 15:11Speaker 6: everyone who gets shafted for a female candidate is going
- 15:14Speaker 6: to say it's just because of the quota and she's
- 15:16Speaker 6: not actually as good as may blah blah blah blah blah.
- 15:18Speaker 5: So you're probably.
- 15:19Speaker 6: Sowing further division down the track. You're not addressing the
- 15:22Speaker 6: question of why you're struggling to attract high quality female
- 15:26Speaker 6: candidates who can beat men in a pre selection just
- 15:31Speaker 6: with the rank and file. So what does it say
- 15:32Speaker 6: about your membership, What does it say about your values?
- 15:35Speaker 5: What does it say about the policy offering?
- 15:38Speaker 6: And again, all this stuff just points to, you know,
- 15:42Speaker 6: sort of a thing where if you've got you know,
- 15:45Speaker 6: a giant, gaping womb that you think, oh, I'll just
- 15:47Speaker 6: put the quota band aid on it, and that's going
- 15:49Speaker 6: to fix it. Clearly not the problem. I mean one
- 15:53Speaker 6: of the Liberal parties women problem, that women problem was
- 15:56Speaker 6: that they didn't know until halfway through the campaign that
- 16:00Speaker 6: women in Australia absolutely hated the work from home policy.
- 16:04Speaker 6: They hated the idea that they were being cast And
- 16:06Speaker 6: I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but this was
- 16:08Speaker 6: showing up, and this was showing up in labor focus groups.
- 16:10Speaker 6: Everyone instinctively knew it in those circles as well, but
- 16:14Speaker 6: it just wasn't They weren't picking up on it.
- 16:16Speaker 4: One. Here's the problem with the quota's argument that work
- 16:19Speaker 4: from home policy was developed and announced by a moderate female,
- 16:24Speaker 4: James ro Joe. So the idea that if you just
- 16:28Speaker 4: have women in there, they're naturally going to come up
- 16:30Speaker 4: with these amazing policies that resonate with other women is
- 16:33Speaker 4: not true. A good policy is a good policy, a
- 16:36Speaker 4: bad policy is a bad policy, and can be generated
- 16:39Speaker 4: by men or women. And also in the last selection.
- 16:42Speaker 4: We saw Tim Wilson in the seat of Goldstein defeat
- 16:45Speaker 4: a female Teal candidate. He was the only one that
- 16:48Speaker 4: defeated a Teal and he was a male up against
- 16:50Speaker 4: a female. Next door in Kuyong Emilia Hamer was unsuccessful
- 16:55Speaker 4: as the Liberal against the Teal. So even in the
- 16:58Speaker 4: most sort of progressive of tearly areas that the Liberal
- 17:02Speaker 4: Party needs to win back if they want to form government,
- 17:05Speaker 4: running a good local campaign, being a good candidate and
- 17:09Speaker 4: standing for something is the best way.
- 17:11Speaker 2: To do that, and yet the Liberal Party are doubling
- 17:14Speaker 2: down on this issue. I note that Melissa Macintosh, there
- 17:16Speaker 2: Women's spokesperson on Insiders, said it's not just that we
- 17:19Speaker 2: need quotas, we need cultural change. And her evidence for
- 17:23Speaker 2: the need for cultural change was that two blokes quote
- 17:26Speaker 2: unquote had challenged her for preselection. Now, of course she
- 17:30Speaker 2: had won both of those challenges, so that should be
- 17:34Speaker 2: evidence that you know, it's fair game in the Liberal Party.
- 17:37Speaker 2: But they've gone from we need quotas, do we need
- 17:39Speaker 2: an outside group of experts to come in and within
- 17:43Speaker 2: the party of sexism and Australians to start talking about this.
- 17:47Speaker 1: The Liberal Party are talking about.
- 17:48Speaker 4: No one you are right that absolutely no one cares,
- 17:51Speaker 4: and this navel gazing from the party does nothing but
- 17:54Speaker 4: reinforce the idea in the public mind that there is
- 17:56Speaker 4: this women's.
- 17:57Speaker 1: Probably, but it's self fulfilling problems.
- 18:00Speaker 4: But I would say in defense of Melissa on that point,
- 18:02Speaker 4: I think what she was trying to get at is
- 18:04Speaker 4: that a bigger problem for the Liberal Party and something
- 18:07Speaker 4: that does turn women away is the rampant and toxic
- 18:12Speaker 4: factionalism that is tearing apart the party.
- 18:14Speaker 2: But why go on national television and talk about that
- 18:17Speaker 2: something you talk about behind it?
- 18:19Speaker 4: Yeah, it should be, It shouldn't be. You should not
- 18:22Speaker 4: be going around airing your dirty laundry on insiders. But
- 18:25Speaker 4: I guess that is what she's getting at, And I
- 18:27Speaker 4: would say that this quota's idea as well, is also
- 18:32Speaker 4: being pushed by certain elements within the Liberal Party that
- 18:35Speaker 4: have a specific ideological, generally more progressive view of the
- 18:40Speaker 4: direction that the Liberal Party should take. So don't think
- 18:42Speaker 4: that the people who aren't calling for quotas will use
- 18:46Speaker 4: those same quotas to put in their mates and continue
- 18:48Speaker 4: the factionalism. Basically, whenever you have a human institution that
- 18:52Speaker 4: allows people to accumulate power, they will do whatever they
- 18:56Speaker 4: can to do that. So this is what's happening in
- 18:59Speaker 4: this as well.
- 19:00Speaker 5: Yeah, there was.
- 19:00Speaker 6: Actually a similar debate that took place years ago in
- 19:03Speaker 6: the Labor Party where the left of the party was saying,
- 19:06Speaker 6: we need quotas, we need quotes, we need quotas, and
- 19:08Speaker 6: you know, the right thought it wasn't so sure.
- 19:10Speaker 5: But anyway, it.
- 19:11Speaker 6: Got up and it was a forty percent quota back then,
- 19:14Speaker 6: and the Wrights realized that it had this end forty
- 19:17Speaker 6: rule where it could just install any candidate it wanted
- 19:20Speaker 6: and then say it was to do it for the quota.
- 19:22Speaker 6: So they just got rid of every single left wing
- 19:24Speaker 6: bloke they could and everything ran really smoothly. Toe they
- 19:27Speaker 6: were the days.
- 19:28Speaker 5: Well give me a moment.
- 19:29Speaker 6: Always wanted to remedie if.
- 19:30Speaker 2: The Liberal Party are going to insist on quotas and
- 19:33Speaker 2: cultural change for rampant structural sexism and basically go woke,
- 19:38Speaker 2: they just need to look at what's happening to Hollywood
- 19:40Speaker 2: to find out where you end up when you pursue
- 19:42Speaker 2: that path, which brings us to the new Superman movie.
- 19:45Speaker 2: It's shortly to appear in cinemas, and before we get
- 19:48Speaker 2: into what the New Superman is all about, let's just
- 19:51Speaker 2: reminisce for a moment about how good Superman used to be.
- 19:54Speaker 1: Here's the old Superman.
- 19:57Speaker 7: Good evening officer mooning. Well, they said, confession's good for
- 20:01Speaker 7: the soul. I'd listen to this man, beg them away.
- 20:14Speaker 2: Truth, justice in the American way. What a great movie.
- 20:17Speaker 2: Superman was great franchise until now, with the new director,
- 20:22Speaker 2: James Gunn announcing that Superman is really a story about
- 20:26Speaker 2: an immigrant, an immigrant that comes from other places looking
- 20:30Speaker 2: for kindness. Now, obviously he's positioning this new movie to
- 20:35Speaker 2: be part of the debate over how Trump is treating
- 20:37Speaker 2: illegals and whether or not Trump's policies are fair and kind.
- 20:41Speaker 2: After all, Superman arrived from another planet, a refugee, a
- 20:45Speaker 2: migrant looking for love. Of course, what the left miss
- 20:48Speaker 2: out is that he was raised in Middle America by
- 20:51Speaker 2: Christian parents to assimilate as a good American and uphold
- 20:55Speaker 2: law and order. He's a clip from the New Superman
- 20:59Speaker 2: out soon, which, by the director zone admission, is highly political.
- 21:04Speaker 7: Today, the Secretary of Defense said he was going to
- 21:06Speaker 7: look into your actions.
- 21:08Speaker 4: That's funny.
- 21:09Speaker 1: My actions I stopped a war. Maybe not maybe I did.
- 21:16Speaker 4: In effact, you illegally entered a country.
- 21:19Speaker 1: This is how you're going to be.
- 21:20Speaker 7: I'm not the.
- 21:21Speaker 4: One being interviewed Superman.
- 21:24Speaker 5: He's anti woke.
- 21:26Speaker 2: He's being arrested by Ice.
- 21:29Speaker 5: He hasn't been arrested.
- 21:30Speaker 6: Okay, Can I just just have to Okay? Superman the
- 21:34Speaker 6: original movie nineteen seventy eight sarring Christopher Et is my
- 21:37Speaker 6: favorite film of all time. I'm an absolute Superman tragic
- 21:41Speaker 6: and everything they've basically done since then, I like Superman three, controversial,
- 21:44Speaker 6: The Quest for Peace, We're not even talking about it.
- 21:46Speaker 6: Then Superman returns Terrible Man of Zeel, Wow, And now
- 21:49Speaker 6: they've had to reboot the whole thing because Batman vs.
- 21:51Speaker 6: Superman justly were absolute dogs. Right, So this is rebooting
- 21:55Speaker 6: the entire Superman universe. And I have got my entire
- 22:00Speaker 6: heart just resting hanging on this movie.
- 22:03Speaker 1: Your heart is about looks right now, and it is going.
- 22:06Speaker 6: He's going to be absolutely fantastic. I've watched all of
- 22:09Speaker 6: those trailers about fifty million times.
- 22:10Speaker 5: You are absolutely right.
- 22:12Speaker 6: Superman is a good, god fearing Christian American. He was
- 22:17Speaker 6: actually created by two Jewish boys, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.
- 22:21Speaker 6: He fights for truth, justice the American way. There's absolutely
- 22:24Speaker 6: he does happen to be an immigrant from the planet Krypton,
- 22:27Speaker 6: but he does get raised by marn par Kent in
- 22:29Speaker 6: mill America. And the guy they've got playing his adoptive
- 22:32Speaker 6: father is not Kevin Costro anymore. He's a fat, pot bellied,
- 22:37Speaker 6: bearded Trump voting farmer. You can tell it just by
- 22:39Speaker 6: looking at him. His adopted mum cleans his boots. That's
- 22:44Speaker 6: one of the few lines of things. She's just I've
- 22:45Speaker 6: just cleaned your boots for your son. These guys are
- 22:47Speaker 6: Trump voters. Don't worry kids. It's totally totally safe. And
- 22:51Speaker 6: when Lois Lane is having that fight with him in
- 22:53Speaker 6: that interview, it's because he decided to just go in there,
- 22:56Speaker 6: cut through all the bureaucratic red tape, going there some
- 23:00Speaker 6: skulls stop a war from happening. She's saying, oh, why
- 23:03Speaker 6: didn't you have the appropriate government approval?
- 23:05Speaker 5: She is the deep stake. He is the freedom fighter.
- 23:08Speaker 4: I'm not so convinced about Joe's base take on the
- 23:12Speaker 4: New Superman movie. It sounds like it is going to
- 23:15Speaker 4: be a rerun of what we have seen flop so
- 23:19Speaker 4: many times in Hollywood. We just saw Disney spend In total,
- 23:23Speaker 4: they spent about four hundred and ten million dollars on
- 23:27Speaker 4: the New Snow White remake and they made only two
- 23:31Speaker 4: hundred million dollars on it. That is a huge loss.
- 23:34Speaker 4: And that has been repeated time and time again since
- 23:37Speaker 4: the early twenty tens, all of these movie franchises remaking
- 23:41Speaker 4: iconic classics but feeling the need to make them updated
- 23:45Speaker 4: and progressive to fit with the times, and in the
- 23:48Speaker 4: end they just butcher them. And I do not understand
- 23:51Speaker 4: when these people will realize that ordinary folks don't want
- 23:56Speaker 4: to go to the movies and be lectured ad about
- 23:59Speaker 4: pol I'll tell you.
- 24:00Speaker 1: You does get it, Tom Cruise.
- 24:02Speaker 2: Tom Cruise is about the only person who understands when
- 24:04Speaker 2: you go to a movie, you just want to.
- 24:06Speaker 1: Enjoy the movie.
- 24:07Speaker 2: But instead James Gunn, director of the New Superman movie, says,
- 24:12Speaker 2: it's about politics and it's about morality. I don't want
- 24:15Speaker 2: to hear about politics and morality from Hollywood directors. But
- 24:18Speaker 2: he's got a message for people like me who don't
- 24:21Speaker 2: want to go to the movies and be lectured, he says,
- 24:23Speaker 2: and I quote people like them, quote unquote screw them.
- 24:27Speaker 2: That's what Hollywood thinks of its audience.
- 24:29Speaker 5: Journ No, no, no, it didn't mean it like that.
- 24:32Speaker 5: He did mean like that, James.
- 24:33Speaker 6: He has already been a victim of cancel culture because
- 24:36Speaker 6: he was the director of Guardians of the Galaxy and
- 24:37Speaker 6: then he did a few spicy tweets and Disney sacked him,
- 24:40Speaker 6: and then he's been picked up by the DC universe
- 24:43Speaker 6: to save it. Precisely because he is not earnest and woke.
- 24:47Speaker 6: He is really really funny. He did a TV show
- 24:50Speaker 6: called Peacemaker starring John Cena, the wrestler, in which he
- 24:53Speaker 6: is the most anti political correct character you can possibly imagine.
- 24:58Speaker 6: In fact, one of the other characters calls him a
- 25:00Speaker 6: proto fascist. And he's the hero in James Gunn's rebooting.
- 25:04Speaker 6: This is even before Superman. It was rebooted with this series,
- 25:07Speaker 6: so it's totally safe to go and see Superman.
- 25:09Speaker 5: It is going to be great. I promise you.
- 25:10Speaker 6: It is not going to be preachy and just for
- 25:13Speaker 6: the kickout because I am such a tragic The nineteen
- 25:16Speaker 6: seventy eight Superman starring Christopher Reeve, God rest his soul
- 25:20Speaker 6: that you showed Christopher Reeve actually, in interviews at the time,
- 25:25Speaker 6: talks about how he played a really gentle and sensitive
- 25:30Speaker 6: Superman because in the nineteen seventies it was considered you
- 25:34Speaker 6: not to be unmasculine to be a sensitive new age guy.
- 25:38Speaker 6: And if you actually watch it, he's a real sweetheart.
- 25:40Speaker 6: He is not a big macho guy. He speaks softly
- 25:43Speaker 6: and he also flies very wholesome.
- 25:45Speaker 4: Well, I have a late debate exclusive for you right here.
- 25:48Speaker 4: This is the unreleased image of what the new Superman
- 25:52Speaker 4: will look like. If we can bring that up on
- 25:54Speaker 4: the screen. Yeah, you got the blue head, the immigrant,
- 25:59Speaker 4: the pride for sorry to do it to you, Joe.
- 26:02Speaker 4: Thanks chat gipt for that one. But I think that's
- 26:05Speaker 4: where Superman and the whole series.
- 26:07Speaker 5: Is love with Lois Lynes.
- 26:10Speaker 6: He's a red blooded white heterosexual American with blue eyes.
- 26:14Speaker 5: Couldn't get more hot blood. He probably votes Trump himself.
- 26:17Speaker 5: Go and see it, kids, Well.
- 26:19Speaker 4: We'll go see it and we'll let you know what
- 26:20Speaker 4: we think of it. Look, Red states are being urged
- 26:23Speaker 4: to consider building their own versions of Alligator Alcatraz. You
- 26:28Speaker 4: might remember Ronda Santas in Florida has built a brand
- 26:32Speaker 4: new prison, which some left US are calling a modern
- 26:35Speaker 4: day concentration camp, but really it's just you house illegal
- 26:39Speaker 4: immigrants and it is surrounded by a alligator infested swamp. Now,
- 26:46Speaker 4: Trump visited the facility, not as Florida. Yeah, in Florida exactly.
- 26:52Speaker 4: Trump and some other Republicans visited the facility. They loved it,
- 26:55Speaker 4: and now the White House is urging other Republicans states
- 27:00Speaker 4: it's to follow in Florida's footsteps. Now, Alaska said they're
- 27:04Speaker 4: not really sure if they have any plans to build
- 27:06Speaker 4: any more detention centers at the moment, but if they do,
- 27:10Speaker 4: they don't have alligators, but they do have bears, so
- 27:13Speaker 4: you might have a bear surrounded detention center. Are these states?
- 27:17Speaker 4: Or South Carolina said their gators are ready to go,
- 27:21Speaker 4: ready to police the prisons for the illegal migrants. And
- 27:25Speaker 4: so it's very exciting. I think this is really ushering
- 27:27Speaker 4: in a new new wave of prison guiding, free labor,
- 27:32Speaker 4: definitely from convissions.
- 27:34Speaker 6: Rever got the alligators to wear the hats deserves the bravery.
- 27:38Speaker 6: That must have made it really hard. How'd you get
- 27:39Speaker 6: them to stay on like that?
- 27:41Speaker 2: I've got to say, I think this whole alligator Alcatraz
- 27:43Speaker 2: is more about trying to convince illegals to self deport
- 27:47Speaker 2: rather than have illegals end up there. Have listens to
- 27:50Speaker 2: Donald Trump talking about how they would need to train
- 27:53Speaker 2: prisoners in Florida to when they run from the prison
- 27:56Speaker 2: to zigzag in order to escape the alligators, the snake's affairs.
- 28:02Speaker 1: But Ali, it is a mcwatim.
- 28:04Speaker 4: How to run away from an hour?
- 28:06Speaker 5: Again? Okay, I can dare escape prison?
- 28:09Speaker 1: How to run away?
- 28:10Speaker 6: You don't run in a straight line, run like this,
- 28:12Speaker 6: and you know what, Your chances go.
- 28:14Speaker 5: On for about one percent.
- 28:17Speaker 2: Nancy May from South Carolina, she said, We've got a
- 28:20Speaker 2: swamp and a dream. South Carolina's gators are ready, and
- 28:24Speaker 2: they're not big on PaperWorks. So Republican governors right across
- 28:29Speaker 2: the nation embracing this idea of creating these centers, talking
- 28:33Speaker 2: up the outrageous obstacles you would have to negotiate if
- 28:37Speaker 2: you were to escape. Not because they're cruel, Joe, but
- 28:40Speaker 2: they're trying to send a message if you are better
- 28:43Speaker 2: off taking yourself out of the country than ending up here,
- 28:47Speaker 2: we'd encourage you to do so.
- 28:48Speaker 6: Yeah, Look, it is absolutely zero surprise that Trump is
- 28:51Speaker 6: doing this. He went to an election saying that that
- 28:54Speaker 6: is what he was going to do, and he got elected,
- 28:57Speaker 6: and by golly, he did it, and it is one
- 28:59Speaker 6: of the few.
- 29:00Speaker 5: In fact, I think it's the only thing.
- 29:01Speaker 6: Where he still has very clear majority support for his position.
- 29:06Speaker 6: So it's dropped off. I haven't said the latest, but
- 29:08Speaker 6: it's dropped off, you know, in other areas like international
- 29:11Speaker 6: relations in Ukraine and stuff like that. The economy of
- 29:13Speaker 6: the tarifs whatever. Deporting legal immigrants, people absolutely love it.
- 29:17Speaker 6: And it's because it and it's because illegal immigration undermines
- 29:21Speaker 6: the labor market, so people doing it tough have their
- 29:24Speaker 6: labor value undermined by people who are doing it cash
- 29:26Speaker 6: in hand or off the books. And it also, you know,
- 29:30Speaker 6: it creates cost of living pressure for people, you know,
- 29:33Speaker 6: in housing like we know here.
- 29:35Speaker 2: So you end up with a Superman movie where he's
- 29:37Speaker 2: wrestling crocodiles.
- 29:39Speaker 6: He is one good illegal one good illegal immigrant who
- 29:42Speaker 6: also illegally ended another country to stop.
- 29:45Speaker 4: A ward under reminder of that well, and it is
- 29:47Speaker 4: also worth noting that Trump's immigration policies so far has
- 29:51Speaker 4: actually been remarkably successful. ICE has arrested one hundred thousand
- 29:56Speaker 4: people in the last six months, seven hundred and fifty
- 29:58Speaker 4: per day, and they've successfullyorted over two hundred thousand people.
- 30:02Speaker 4: I mean, the Democrats were laughing and saying this was
- 30:04Speaker 4: going to be impossible. But Trump has achieved the impossible.
- 30:08Speaker 1: He has well.
- 30:09Speaker 2: One person who's not a Trump fan anymore, of course,
- 30:12Speaker 2: is Elon Musk. They worked together closely. Elon Musk and
- 30:15Speaker 2: Trump were best buddies. Then they had a falling out,
- 30:18Speaker 2: of course, over the Big Beautiful Bill. Elon Musk thought
- 30:21Speaker 2: it would be bad for the economy, so bad he
- 30:23Speaker 2: said he would start his own political party if the
- 30:26Speaker 2: bill was passed, And of course, the day after it
- 30:28Speaker 2: was passed, Elon Musk announced that he would start the
- 30:32Speaker 2: America Party.
- 30:33Speaker 1: Having spent two hundred and.
- 30:34Speaker 2: Seventy five million dollars on the Republican campaign, he certainly
- 30:38Speaker 2: got the money to start a new political party. But
- 30:41Speaker 2: should he, fray, if I was a board member or
- 30:44Speaker 2: a director of Tesla, if I was a shareholder of Tesla,
- 30:48Speaker 2: you sort of loaned Elon Musk out to the White
- 30:50Speaker 2: House for a short time to do doge.
- 30:53Speaker 1: But then you thought you were getting him back.
- 30:55Speaker 2: Elon Musk now say he'll start a political party is
- 30:58Speaker 2: essentially signaling he's in Orthics for the long term. Meanwhile,
- 31:02Speaker 2: Tesla sales are not going well in Europe, in the US,
- 31:07Speaker 2: in Asia. You'd be pretty annoyed if you were a shareholder.
- 31:10Speaker 1: Wouldn't you.
- 31:11Speaker 4: Well, we know that the Tesla board has said to
- 31:13Speaker 4: Elon Musk that he needs to pay more attention to
- 31:16Speaker 4: the companies and less attention to politics. But I think
- 31:19Speaker 4: besides that, the other factor here is would anyone support this?
- 31:23Speaker 4: I mean, think about the optics. You've got a Silicon
- 31:26Speaker 4: Valley billionaire who Americans generally don't like, born in South Africa,
- 31:31Speaker 4: not even a natural American born in the country, immigrants,
- 31:37Speaker 4: as Trump has reminded us all recently, trying to take
- 31:41Speaker 4: over American politics. And I guess you surp one of
- 31:45Speaker 4: the most popular American presidents of all time. This is
- 31:49Speaker 4: also a guy that backed Obama twice and donated to
- 31:53Speaker 4: Hillary in twenty sixteen. I mean, he's a recent Republican convert,
- 31:57Speaker 4: good on inf seeing the light at last, but he
- 32:00Speaker 4: is not exactly ticking all the boxes for successful retail politician.
- 32:04Speaker 4: And there is already a Libertarian party in the US.
- 32:07Speaker 4: It is a more pure form of the Republicans, and
- 32:09Speaker 4: they barely get any vote. What would happen if he
- 32:12Speaker 4: started this party is it would get a couple percent
- 32:15Speaker 4: and all that would do is drag votes away from
- 32:17Speaker 4: the Republicans. So it's a net loss for America as
- 32:20Speaker 4: a whole. And I just don't see people voting for
- 32:22Speaker 4: a South African billionaire.
- 32:24Speaker 5: No.
- 32:25Speaker 6: I mean, having lots of money is absolutely zero guarantee
- 32:29Speaker 6: of electoral success. That Yeah, you've got to have momentum,
- 32:34Speaker 6: you've got to have charisma. Trump has got all of that.
- 32:37Speaker 5: As we know.
- 32:37Speaker 6: Trump has all the money in the world. He had
- 32:39Speaker 6: all the money in twenty sixteen and he didn't even
- 32:41Speaker 6: need to spend it because he got so much attention
- 32:44Speaker 6: for free by all the news networks because he was
- 32:47Speaker 6: just so entertaining. And so mask is just on a
- 32:52Speaker 6: hide into nothing. Is absolutely insane and it will only
- 32:55Speaker 6: serve to spoiled on trub which may well be what
- 32:57Speaker 6: he wants to do.
- 32:58Speaker 5: There was a.
- 32:59Speaker 6: Terrible case in nineteen sixty eight, just after the Summer
- 33:02Speaker 6: of Love and the Democrats split. LBJ was denied the candidacy,
- 33:09Speaker 6: which was an absolutely outrageous decision by the left of
- 33:12Speaker 6: the Democratic Party. So despite being the incumbent president. He
- 33:16Speaker 6: withdrew from the race.
- 33:17Speaker 5: They back.
- 33:17Speaker 6: I think it was George McGovern who obviously most people
- 33:20Speaker 6: would struggle to remember his name. And then there was
- 33:23Speaker 6: another like a Democrat segregationist or something from down south
- 33:26Speaker 6: who ran as well, and it just slaughtered the Dems,
- 33:29Speaker 6: and Richard Nixon wanted a landslide and went on to
- 33:31Speaker 6: win in another bigger Lands flight in seventy two, which
- 33:34Speaker 6: tells you everything you need to know about where you know,
- 33:37Speaker 6: the activists and the protesters, they say they're on the
- 33:39Speaker 6: right side of history. Are they just delivered Nixon his victory?
- 33:42Speaker 6: But anyway, so I think that's what Elon is trying
- 33:46Speaker 6: to do. It can only be.
- 33:47Speaker 1: A spoil and the problem for Elon Musk is the
- 33:49Speaker 1: flip flopping.
- 33:50Speaker 5: Right.
- 33:50Speaker 2: So he was Trump's best friend, then he wanted Trump,
- 33:54Speaker 2: you know, basically indicted because of Epstein stuff. Then he
- 33:57Speaker 2: apologized for the Epstein things, saying he'd gone to far.
- 34:00Speaker 2: They appeared to make up. Now we started his own
- 34:02Speaker 2: political party. People are really going to trust someone who's like.
- 34:07Speaker 6: I'm sorry, I'm nearly out of you as a pedophile. Yeah,
- 34:10Speaker 6: I don't know what I was, sorry, mate, I.
- 34:12Speaker 4: Was just how can you trust someone like that? Yeah,
- 34:15Speaker 4: and he also thinks that X and his ex followers
- 34:18Speaker 4: are like representative of the entire universe, which that's just
- 34:22Speaker 4: not the case. But I want to chat to you
- 34:25Speaker 4: guys about this interesting story. You know, when you go
- 34:27Speaker 4: traveling somewhere and you notice that everyone acts in a
- 34:30Speaker 4: similar way, but it takes you a while to clue
- 34:33Speaker 4: into what's actually going on because cultures tend to have
- 34:37Speaker 4: all sorts of unwritten rules. Now, the Daily Mail has
- 34:41Speaker 4: compiled a list of unwritten rules that travelers need to
- 34:45Speaker 4: know when they come to Australia. And there are seven
- 34:49Speaker 4: of these unwritten rules. But some of them I get.
- 34:52Speaker 4: Others of them I'm less sure about. The first one
- 34:56Speaker 4: is you let people with only a few items with
- 35:00Speaker 4: them go in front of you at the checkout in
- 35:03Speaker 4: the groceries, really, especially if they're old. But if you're
- 35:08Speaker 4: there first, I mean, it's.
- 35:11Speaker 2: All the live and you feel bad, right if you've
- 35:13Speaker 2: got a trolley filled with groceries and you've got someone
- 35:15Speaker 2: behind you with like a milk and some bread.
- 35:18Speaker 1: If you feel you would.
- 35:19Speaker 6: Favorite older people because you think they don't have that
- 35:21Speaker 6: much time left.
- 35:24Speaker 4: That's Okay, that's a valid one, and I'm.
- 35:27Speaker 1: Getting close to being old.
- 35:30Speaker 4: I would like to be exactly Okay. The next one
- 35:33Speaker 4: is you take your shopping trolley back.
- 35:35Speaker 6: I think that is the market of civilization.
- 35:38Speaker 4: Against that, James.
- 35:39Speaker 2: I just put it somewhere tidy, in out of the way.
- 35:41Speaker 2: But there are trolley boys who rely on trolleys being
- 35:45Speaker 2: left indiscriminately in order to have employment.
- 35:49Speaker 4: That's chaos, that's anarchy. I hate those people. Are you serious.
- 35:53Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't leave it out of the way.
- 35:55Speaker 2: I don't put it in the parking spot, but I'll
- 35:56Speaker 2: put it up on the foot path or somewhere out
- 35:58Speaker 2: of the way.
- 35:59Speaker 6: Do you know there are people who argue that it
- 36:01Speaker 6: is people like you who are the reason why we
- 36:03Speaker 6: need big government, which is why people cannot be trusted
- 36:06Speaker 6: to govern themselves and take the exactly because you have
- 36:09Speaker 6: this one living demonstration, this one real world demonstration, where
- 36:13Speaker 6: it takes a tiny amount of effort, it costs no money,
- 36:16Speaker 6: it helps everybody, it helps the society function better, doesn't
- 36:20Speaker 6: create as much you know, employment for trolley boys.
- 36:23Speaker 5: I'll grant you that.
- 36:25Speaker 6: Yet people don't do it, and people say this is
- 36:27Speaker 6: why civilization cannot absolutely be.
- 36:30Speaker 1: Another one, okay.
- 36:31Speaker 4: The next one is when you're at a pum you're
- 36:34Speaker 4: supposed to keep your eye out on other people who've
- 36:36Speaker 4: been waiting longer than you, and so when the bartender
- 36:39Speaker 4: says who's next, you say you go for it? Mate.
- 36:43Speaker 2: It is so annoying when you know you were there
- 36:45Speaker 2: before those people and they know and they don't say
- 36:47Speaker 2: any Yeah.
- 36:47Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, we can all get behind that one, can I.
- 36:50Speaker 6: Actually I'm going to be controversial. I think the bartender
- 36:52Speaker 6: should know who's next. I think that is part of
- 36:56Speaker 6: the job of bartender, a skilled bartender, because if you
- 36:59Speaker 6: don't know, then the inter low per, the cuckoo in
- 37:02Speaker 6: the nest, if you will, will always get first.
- 37:05Speaker 1: Good values.
- 37:07Speaker 5: They're drinking very very heavily, very good.
- 37:09Speaker 1: Point before we go to the break.
- 37:11Speaker 4: This is another one. Always wave if someone lets you
- 37:14Speaker 4: into their lane while you're driving.
- 37:16Speaker 6: Yes, do you know the new thing now though, sorry,
- 37:19Speaker 6: I'm obsessed with this sort of stuff. Is you put
- 37:21Speaker 6: your hazard lights on for a couple of blinks if
- 37:23Speaker 6: everyone's doing it yet, what especially at night where people
- 37:27Speaker 6: can't see the is happening everywhere?
- 37:28Speaker 5: I've got a bus to do it.
- 37:29Speaker 1: To me once.
- 37:30Speaker 4: Wow. Okay, if a host tells you not to bring
- 37:33Speaker 4: anything to a dinner party, you always show up with something.
- 37:36Speaker 4: So you should bring drinks and leave the ones you
- 37:39Speaker 4: don't finish. Absolutely, or I would say, actually a better
- 37:42Speaker 4: one nibbles, cheeses, crackers, that's even better than drinks. The drinks, okay,
- 37:47Speaker 4: stingy Joe over. Then always thank the bus driver when
- 37:51Speaker 4: you're getting off.
- 37:52Speaker 1: It's not funny. You always do. But I don't know
- 37:53Speaker 1: why you do.
- 37:55Speaker 2: Because do you think a pilot on a plane when
- 37:57Speaker 2: you get off thanks.
- 37:57Speaker 4: The flight attendants. Yeah, absolutely, interesting one there. And then
- 38:01Speaker 4: on the footpath, always walk on the left escalator stand
- 38:04Speaker 4: on the left.
- 38:05Speaker 2: That is the worst one of the shopping center. If
- 38:07Speaker 2: you're in a hurry and people are taking up the
- 38:09Speaker 2: entire escalator, just stand to them.
- 38:11Speaker 4: Or the train station you're running and people are standing all.
- 38:14Speaker 5: Over, outrageous.
- 38:16Speaker 6: And also on the travelators, you can actually move your
- 38:18Speaker 6: trolley to the left far enough so that other people
- 38:21Speaker 6: can get past. So having a trolley no excuse, and
- 38:23Speaker 6: then put it in the trolley bay when you finish.
- 38:25Speaker 4: Now, this final one is a little controversial. When your
- 38:29Speaker 4: neighbors are on holidays, bring in their bins and maybe
- 38:33Speaker 4: even mow their.
- 38:34Speaker 5: Lawn back just a bit, try hard bringing the bins.
- 38:36Speaker 4: Definitely the bins, so mow the lawns are nice.
- 38:39Speaker 2: Stalker is, Can I tell you I once had a
- 38:41Speaker 2: neighbor and I couldn't work out.
- 38:42Speaker 1: I would travel, I would.
- 38:43Speaker 2: Come home and the lawns were all beautiful, and I
- 38:46Speaker 2: couldn't work out what was going on. And then one
- 38:48Speaker 2: day he was going past and he said, ah, you're
- 38:50Speaker 2: happy with your lawn. And I wondered why he was
- 38:52Speaker 2: saying that. It turned out he'd been mowing it for
- 38:54Speaker 2: like three months.
- 38:55Speaker 1: The problem was I.
- 38:56Speaker 2: Got used to it and he didn't do it one
- 38:57Speaker 2: weekend and I got really upset. To go to a
- 39:00Speaker 2: break and we come back for the good. What's making
- 39:02Speaker 2: headlines tomorrow, so you hear it here first.
- 39:05Speaker 1: That's coming up in just a moment. Welcome back to
- 39:13Speaker 1: the program.
- 39:14Speaker 2: Let's take a look at what's making headlines tomorrow, so
- 39:16Speaker 2: you hear it here first. And as you can imagine,
- 39:19Speaker 2: most of tomorrow's newspapers, leading with the erin Patterson Conviction,
- 39:24Speaker 2: will run you through what some of the front pages
- 39:27Speaker 2: are saying. The Herald's son as you can see their
- 39:29Speaker 2: evil erin justice served for cold blooded killer cooked, reads
- 39:34Speaker 2: the headline. If we go over to the Daily Telegraph,
- 39:37Speaker 2: they're going with evil erin quiet country. Mum ruled a
- 39:41Speaker 2: triple murderer in a criminal trial which shocked the globe.
- 39:45Speaker 2: At the Courier Mail in Queensland, they're going with killer cooked,
- 39:49Speaker 2: as the headline finally revealed how.
- 39:51Speaker 1: Evil erin first gave herself up.
- 39:55Speaker 2: And the Canberra Times have got the headline murder on
- 39:59Speaker 2: menu mushroom cook Aaron Patterson has been found guilty of
- 40:02Speaker 2: three murders for deliberately poisoning her estranged husband's family. The
- 40:07Speaker 2: fifty year old mother from regional Victoria appeared emotionless as
- 40:10Speaker 2: four guilty verdicts were read out by the jury's fourth
- 40:13Speaker 2: person yesterday and goes on to detail the case. She's
- 40:18Speaker 2: found guilty of course of three counts of killing people
- 40:22Speaker 2: by serving them toxic beef Wellington and attempted murder of
- 40:26Speaker 2: a fourth person. A trial went for forty six days.
- 40:29Speaker 2: The jury were out for a week before coming back
- 40:33Speaker 2: with their guilty verdict in a case that really held
- 40:36Speaker 2: the attention not just of people in this country but
- 40:39Speaker 2: frea right around the world. This case made headlines I
- 40:42Speaker 2: suppose because of the unusual nature of it, right, and.
- 40:45Speaker 4: She just also seemed like such an unlikely person to
- 40:49Speaker 4: do this. I mean, just some random person from Victoria.
- 40:53Speaker 4: You just never expect this sort of thing that happened.
- 40:56Speaker 6: Motive, it's just so like it's no real clear mind,
- 40:58Speaker 6: like it's unclear.
- 41:00Speaker 4: It's all very weird.
- 41:01Speaker 6: It seemed to be upset that she no longer had
- 41:03Speaker 6: a relationship with her in laws that was as close
- 41:06Speaker 6: after her husband left her.
- 41:09Speaker 2: The other thing was that the judges said that this
- 41:13Speaker 2: will be taken into consideration when sentencing happens, is the
- 41:17Speaker 2: amount of effort that went into these murders. And that
- 41:21Speaker 2: doesn't bring the meal she cooks me.
- 41:25Speaker 1: Maybe she count yourself lucky, Joe.
- 41:27Speaker 2: So anyway, that is featuring right across most of the
- 41:31Speaker 2: newspapers tomorrow, as you would expect, and I expect newspapers
- 41:36Speaker 2: will sell well tomorrow because there is a lot of
- 41:38Speaker 2: interest in that particular story. And Fray the Australian obviously
- 41:42Speaker 2: have got that as well.
- 41:42Speaker 4: Yes, of course the Australians got that headline is killer
- 41:45Speaker 4: in the kitchen. But we'll bring you some other headlines
- 41:48Speaker 4: from the Odds tomorrow as well. An interesting one is
- 41:51Speaker 4: union snag same job, same pay win. Unions have secured
- 41:55Speaker 4: a landmark victory against mining giant BHP after the Fair
- 41:59Speaker 4: Work Commission proved the nation's first same job, same pay application,
- 42:05Speaker 4: clearing the way for average pay rises of thirty thousand
- 42:09Speaker 4: dollars for two thousand, two hundred mine workers at a
- 42:13Speaker 4: cost of sixty six million dollars. Hailing the decision as
- 42:17Speaker 4: a nail in the coffin for BHP's sham labor Higher model,
- 42:21Speaker 4: the Mining and Energy Union said the ruling would significantly
- 42:24Speaker 4: lift the pay of labor Higher workers employed at Peaked Downs,
- 42:28Speaker 4: Saragai and Goon Yellow Riverside mines in Queensland Bowen Basin. Now,
- 42:34Speaker 4: this is interesting. This was one of the major industrial
- 42:39Speaker 4: relations reforms that were really regressive, taking us back to
- 42:43Speaker 4: an archaic industrial relations system that labor brought in in
- 42:47Speaker 4: their first term. And businesses did want this would lead
- 42:49Speaker 4: to thousands of dollars of pay rises, and here we go.
- 42:52Speaker 5: That's a good thing.
- 42:53Speaker 4: That's a great things, not if it's not linked to productivity.
- 42:57Speaker 5: But this is massive, this is massive.
- 42:59Speaker 6: Companies they won't they won't make it more productive as well,
- 43:02Speaker 6: that we're just trying to pay people less for the
- 43:04Speaker 6: same job. That is, well, maybe they do call that productivity.
- 43:07Speaker 1: I think that's the definition.
- 43:09Speaker 6: No productivity is getting more money for doing even more.
- 43:13Speaker 6: So you're producing more for the same money, not producing
- 43:15Speaker 6: the same for less money. Well, that's well, it's regressive productivity.
- 43:20Speaker 6: So it's retrofee to say, hey, we won't make our
- 43:22Speaker 6: we won't figure out a way to make our workers
- 43:24Speaker 6: more productive. We'll just cut what they earn so they're
- 43:27Speaker 6: comparatively the same. They're still producing the same amount, but
- 43:31Speaker 6: comparatively more productive because we're paying them less.
- 43:34Speaker 4: Well, you should have to earn what you make.
- 43:38Speaker 5: But this is the thing.
- 43:40Speaker 4: Doing this job as labor higher, then they're voluntarily entering.
- 43:45Speaker 6: Instead of the company instead of actually hiring employees, was
- 43:50Speaker 6: actually laying off employees and then hiring cheaper labor higher.
- 43:53Speaker 4: But that should be their right as a private company anyway. Again,
- 43:57Speaker 4: in the australiaan let's move on from that one school's
- 44:00Speaker 4: focus on anti Semitism. It's about time Education Minister Jason
- 44:06Speaker 4: Claire stands ready to reform the school curriculum. So children
- 44:09Speaker 4: are taught more about anti Semitism, declaring there is a
- 44:12Speaker 4: role for teachers in educating young people about the poison
- 44:16Speaker 4: of bigotry towards Jews. As the Victorian government sets up
- 44:20Speaker 4: an anti hate task force following a tax against Jews
- 44:23Speaker 4: in Melbourne at the weekend, Mister Claire said he was
- 44:25Speaker 4: willing to back curriculum changes recommended by the Special En
- 44:29Speaker 4: Void to combat anti Semitism Jillian Siegel. His comments come
- 44:32Speaker 4: as Miss Siegal and former Prime Minister Tony Abbott called
- 44:35Speaker 4: for a crackdown on anti Israel protests, and former Department
- 44:40Speaker 4: of Home Affairs Secretary Mike Bizulo called for an Operation
- 44:44Speaker 4: Sovereign Borders style task force to present prevent terror attaxiaanst Jews.
- 44:48Speaker 4: I mean about time, seems like this should have been
- 44:52Speaker 4: done again ages ago.
- 44:54Speaker 2: I agree with changes to the curriculum, but the alternative
- 44:56Speaker 2: is you could just teach history properly. Then you wouldn't
- 44:59Speaker 2: need a special section and on anti Semitism. Just teach
- 45:02Speaker 2: history and it would teach itself. We're going to go
- 45:05Speaker 2: to a break when we come back. Have you ever
- 45:07Speaker 2: eaten at a restaurant and then scooed it? Off without paying.
- 45:10Speaker 2: Australias Robert Irwin did just that. What happens next, Well,
- 45:14Speaker 2: it's quite surprising. Plus wimbled and robots used for line calls,
- 45:18Speaker 2: but the line calls are worse than they've ever been.
- 45:21Speaker 2: All of that in just a moment. Well, I think
- 45:27Speaker 2: most of us have done it. We've eaten at a restaurant,
- 45:29Speaker 2: got caught up talking and just walked out without paying,
- 45:32Speaker 2: only to realize later That is exactly what happened to
- 45:36Speaker 2: Australia Zoo's Robert Irwin at the weekend. He was eating
- 45:38Speaker 2: at the Jetty Pavilion in Coffs Harbor when, after finishing
- 45:42Speaker 2: his meal, he was swamped by people wanting autographs and
- 45:45Speaker 2: photos with him. He got so caught up in that
- 45:48Speaker 2: he left without paying, only realizing the next day.
- 45:52Speaker 1: Well, he realized what had happened.
- 45:53Speaker 2: He contacted the restaurant and apologized profusely. They said, don't
- 45:58Speaker 2: worry about it, it's fine, But he put this video
- 46:02Speaker 2: up online just to say sorry and to help them out.
- 46:06Speaker 1: They got the salad super fast.
- 46:08Speaker 8: I made sure I said hi'd absolutely everyone, cheers, thanks
- 46:10Speaker 8: so much, have a good night, see you later. And
- 46:12Speaker 8: then the next morning I wake up and realize I
- 46:16Speaker 8: never paid for my salad. I just did the old
- 46:20Speaker 8: die and dash and I didn't even realize I'd done it.
- 46:22Speaker 8: I felt terrible, so, you know, reached out, do you
- 46:25Speaker 8: want me to give you my credit card details? And
- 46:27Speaker 8: they said, oh, I love what you do. It's all good,
- 46:28Speaker 8: you know, sorry for the mix up.
- 46:30Speaker 1: Just leave us a good review.
- 46:31Speaker 8: So I said, guys, Jendi Pavilion, I got to do
- 46:33Speaker 8: you one better. There are eight million of you guys
- 46:36Speaker 8: on here, so you know what to do.
- 46:39Speaker 2: I reckon whatever he ate and whatever it was worth,
- 46:41Speaker 2: it wasn't worth as much as that little shout out
- 46:44Speaker 2: the Jenni Pavilion will do quite well from Robert Irwin
- 46:47Speaker 2: forgetting to pay for his meal.
- 46:49Speaker 4: Oh yeah, brands would pay roberta when tens of thousands
- 46:52Speaker 4: of dollars for promotion like that, So good on Robert.
- 46:55Speaker 4: He definitely did the right thing.
- 46:56Speaker 6: Yeah, except when I do it, they call the police.
- 47:00Speaker 4: So good well. Wimbledon this year tried to introduce AI
- 47:04Speaker 4: line calling in attempt to eliminate human error and make
- 47:08Speaker 4: things more fair, I guess, excepting one game, the AI
- 47:12Speaker 4: malfunctioned three times so the ball went out three times.
- 47:17Speaker 4: The Russian player, who was playing rightfully stopped playing. She
- 47:21Speaker 4: saw the ball going out, except there was no call,
- 47:24Speaker 4: and so she was absolutely fuming. Now this is so ironic.
- 47:28Speaker 4: They get rid of humans to introduce AI, saying it's
- 47:32Speaker 4: going to be more accurate, and then it fails to work.
- 47:35Speaker 4: Who what a guest this might have and.
- 47:37Speaker 1: Why did it fail?
- 47:37Speaker 2: Because someone accidentally switched it off during the game and
- 47:41Speaker 2: it was off for the entire game. So the robot
- 47:44Speaker 2: works fine as long as it's turned on, which apparently
- 47:47Speaker 2: they forgot to do, so it.
- 47:49Speaker 5: Turns on the humans problem after all.
- 47:51Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 47:51Speaker 6: Another thing that II failed to pick up was tennis
- 47:54Speaker 6: players at Wimbledon stealing the towels. Former Polish world number one,
- 47:59Speaker 6: Eager Vietic say it with confidence, Joe, That's what I
- 48:02Speaker 6: always tell myself. Has basically sort of kind of apologized
- 48:06Speaker 6: but not really maybe for stealing like a billion towels
- 48:10Speaker 6: from Wimbledon. She was stuffing them in her bag. Apparently
- 48:13Speaker 6: all the players do this, and they use it, They
- 48:16Speaker 6: use them for souvenirs, they give them out to all
- 48:18Speaker 6: their friends and family, and so she's got ten friends
- 48:20Speaker 6: and ten family members wanting towels.
- 48:22Speaker 5: That's a lot of towels.
- 48:23Speaker 6: Have a quick look to He watched has to say.
- 48:26Speaker 9: It's like a topic that no one never ever talks about,
- 48:29Speaker 9: like we love our towels, you know. Yeah, every time
- 48:33Speaker 9: I come back from Islam, I think I have like
- 48:36Speaker 9: I don't know, ten friends and ten members of my
- 48:39Speaker 9: family wanting towels.
- 48:41Speaker 4: So sorry, sorry.
- 48:44Speaker 9: Them, Like, yeah, I don't know if I'm.
- 48:48Speaker 2: Supposed to do that though, imagine from a hotel that's
- 48:52Speaker 2: from us to stick around.
- 48:53Speaker 1: Coming up is the readA Penney show, good Night
