Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Welcome the late pay.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us. I'm James Macpherson with Liz stra
- 0:10Speaker 2: and Caleb Bond. Coming up the Queensland government's latest health
- 0:13Speaker 2: campaign encouraging people to do a pooh at work.
- 0:17Speaker 3: No, I'm not making that up. I wish I was.
- 0:19Speaker 2: We'll talk about it and show you their campaign tax wealth.
- 0:24Speaker 1: I'm glad that's all you're going to show us, James.
- 0:26Speaker 2: The election cannot come soon enough. Plus when we look
- 0:29Speaker 2: at the papers, a Greens MP skipping parliament to join
- 0:33Speaker 2: an anti war protest, of course, and the Teals announce
- 0:37Speaker 2: the price for their support in the event of a
- 0:40Speaker 2: hung parliament. And I'll give you a spoilers. It's not small.
- 0:43Speaker 2: We'll get to all of that shortly. But first, police
- 0:46Speaker 2: communications are being questioned after a man suspected of throwing
- 0:51Speaker 2: hot coffee over a nine month old baby in Brisbane
- 0:54Speaker 2: last month managed to evade capture. Now the man fled
- 0:58Speaker 2: the scene, leaving baby Luca with horrific burns to his
- 1:02Speaker 2: face and his body. His mother went on radio describing
- 1:05Speaker 2: the attack and saying there was no doubt it was deliberate.
- 1:10Speaker 4: He knew exactly what he was doing that day, and
- 1:12Speaker 4: I knew that from how he threw this liquid onto
- 1:17Speaker 4: my son, I knew it was an attack straight away.
- 1:21Speaker 4: And the other fact that he ran away, changed his clothes,
- 1:24Speaker 4: went to another location and changed his clothes again. You
- 1:28Speaker 4: left Queensland obviously within twenty four hours, and then left
- 1:32Speaker 4: the country. He knew exactly what he was doing, which
- 1:35Speaker 4: is just unthinkable.
- 1:38Speaker 3: Now.
- 1:39Speaker 2: Police asked the public for help in locating the suspect,
- 1:42Speaker 2: describing him as Tan. It was up to you and
- 1:45Speaker 2: I to guess that when police said tan, what they
- 1:48Speaker 2: meant was of Asian appearance. By the time police identified
- 1:53Speaker 2: the man, he'd already fled the country. Former Australian Federal
- 1:56Speaker 2: Police Superintendent David Craig says the entire incident raises questions
- 2:02Speaker 2: about the way in which police had chosen to communicate
- 2:05Speaker 2: the incident.
- 2:06Speaker 3: Here he is on sunrise this morning.
- 2:09Speaker 5: I think the fact that he wasn't accurately reported in
- 2:12Speaker 5: the media. His description was reported as a proportionate person
- 2:17Speaker 5: of tan skin, thirty to forty years old, Well, that
- 2:20Speaker 5: doesn't narrow it down very much. And I think when
- 2:22Speaker 5: a baby has been injured, attempted murder, if you like,
- 2:26Speaker 5: then we need to call out exactly who we are
- 2:28Speaker 5: looking for. These are not racial philification terms. These are
- 2:31Speaker 5: identifying terms of a serious victim. He should have been
- 2:35Speaker 5: called out a man of Asian appearance, just like we
- 2:37Speaker 5: do with Southeast South Pacific Islanders or person of Caucasian appearance.
- 2:42Speaker 5: It didn't happen quick enough in this game.
- 2:45Speaker 2: Now, of course, we don't know why the police chose
- 2:48Speaker 2: not to use the term Asian, and nor are we
- 2:50Speaker 2: suggesting that was the definitive factor in him being able
- 2:53Speaker 2: to evade capture.
- 2:54Speaker 3: But it does raise the.
- 2:55Speaker 2: Question more generally, Liz and Caleb, have we now reached
- 2:59Speaker 2: a point where authorities are afraid to use certain adjectives
- 3:03Speaker 2: even to describe crimes and identify suspects, for triggering members
- 3:07Speaker 2: of the population, And that surely has dangerous implications.
- 3:10Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean you would have to wonder whether this
- 3:12Speaker 6: is a case of political correctness gone too far. And
- 3:15Speaker 6: of course, you know it's up to the cops to
- 3:17Speaker 6: explain why they did or did not immediately release the
- 3:21Speaker 6: detail that they believed he was of Asian appearance.
- 3:24Speaker 1: And I mean, we all saw the image there.
- 3:25Speaker 6: I think you and I and everyone at home could
- 3:28Speaker 6: say that he was of Asian appearance. So why could
- 3:30Speaker 6: the police not just say that upfront, and particularly now
- 3:35Speaker 6: we know that this fellow has abscondered, he has left
- 3:38Speaker 6: the country.
- 3:39Speaker 1: Imagine if you had known that.
- 3:41Speaker 6: Detail a lay person in Queensland, if you had known
- 3:46Speaker 6: that detail, that you weren't looking.
- 3:48Speaker 1: For someone of tanned appearance.
- 3:49Speaker 6: I mean, for heaven's sake, after you've been on holiday, James,
- 3:52Speaker 6: I might say you are a man of tanned appeople.
- 3:54Speaker 6: I'd be a man of a very good point, as
- 3:57Speaker 6: I was after I came a from Queensland a couple
- 3:59Speaker 6: of weeks.
- 4:00Speaker 7: But you don't say that we wouldn't want to offend
- 4:03Speaker 7: any beat.
- 4:04Speaker 1: That's right, that's right.
- 4:05Speaker 6: We certainly would not all the alcoholics who are suffering
- 4:07Speaker 6: with redness in the face. But you know, it would
- 4:10Speaker 6: seem such a basic thing to say he was a
- 4:12Speaker 6: man of Asian appearance. And the fact we weren't told that,
- 4:16Speaker 6: you'd have to say, is a complete bungling.
- 4:19Speaker 1: Of the police.
- 4:20Speaker 6: As for why they did it, I mean, who knows.
- 4:22Speaker 6: I think they need to explain it. They need to
- 4:24Speaker 6: come out and say, now, why we weren't immediately told
- 4:27Speaker 6: that if they could tell that he had a darker
- 4:30Speaker 6: shade of skin. Well, surely they had the opportunity to
- 4:33Speaker 6: see his face and know what his ethnicity might have been.
- 4:35Speaker 7: And Luca's mum would have known that too. I mean,
- 4:38Speaker 7: if someone's throwing scalding hot coffee on your baby, one
- 4:40Speaker 7: of the first descriptors she would have given them was
- 4:44Speaker 7: it wasn't a man of Asian appearance.
- 4:47Speaker 8: I mean, this isn't rocket science.
- 4:50Speaker 7: Why would the police not want to give absolutely every
- 4:53Speaker 7: descriptive you possibly could to catch someone who is sick
- 4:58Speaker 7: enough to throw a skull beveridge on an infant?
- 5:02Speaker 8: Do you want to find him or not?
- 5:06Speaker 7: And now this begs the question would he have been
- 5:09Speaker 7: found if such details had been released to the public,
- 5:12Speaker 7: if they'd simply been told this is someone of Asian appearance.
- 5:17Speaker 8: Because we know that he.
- 5:18Speaker 7: Crossed several suburbs by foot, he caught a train, He
- 5:23Speaker 7: then caught a car to Sydney, where he boarded an
- 5:27Speaker 7: international flight and fled the country. So how many people
- 5:31Speaker 7: saw him in the course of fleeing on foot, catching
- 5:35Speaker 7: a train, getting into a car to Sydney that might
- 5:39Speaker 7: have otherwise been able to identify him now will never know.
- 5:44Speaker 8: I would be utterly ropeable.
- 5:46Speaker 7: If I was Luca's mum, if that was your baby,
- 5:49Speaker 7: and the police hadn't even bothered to say we are
- 5:52Speaker 7: looking for a man of Asian appearance.
- 5:55Speaker 3: Well, your rhetorical question, how many people saw him?
- 5:57Speaker 2: Of course, the answer is none, because no one was
- 5:59Speaker 2: looking for animated appearance. Everyone's taking a two weeks on
- 6:03Speaker 2: the beach in Queensland exactly. It reminds me of a
- 6:06Speaker 2: story from the UK in June where a transgendered woman
- 6:10Speaker 2: had been missing for two months and there were genuine
- 6:12Speaker 2: fears about the welfare of this man identifying as a woman,
- 6:17Speaker 2: and so police put out an alert. But they described
- 6:20Speaker 2: this person, who went by the name Sarah as her
- 6:23Speaker 2: she a woman. They made no mention of transgenderism or
- 6:26Speaker 2: the fact that it was a biological male, and so
- 6:29Speaker 2: they're expecting the public to find a man when they're
- 6:33Speaker 2: putting out a descriptor for a woman. And in this instance,
- 6:36Speaker 2: as I said, there were genuine concerns about the welfare
- 6:38Speaker 2: of this person, and it seemed like police were more
- 6:41Speaker 2: concerned about using correct pronouns and descriptors politically correct ones,
- 6:47Speaker 2: rather than actually finding the person. And when you can't
- 6:50Speaker 2: trust law enforcement, of course I'm not saying that this
- 6:52Speaker 2: about this particular incident here in Brisbane, but more broadly,
- 6:56Speaker 2: when you can't be sure that law enforcement are giving
- 7:00Speaker 2: you all the information, then who can you trust? And
- 7:04Speaker 2: it leaves us in a pretty precarious situation when trying
- 7:07Speaker 2: to help the welfare of people or indeed track down offenders.
- 7:10Speaker 6: And as the former superintendent who we played the clip
- 7:13Speaker 6: from him before, David Craig, said, you know, it's not
- 7:17Speaker 6: racist at all to identify that someone might be of
- 7:20Speaker 6: Asian appearance. It's just to say, well, that's what the
- 7:23Speaker 6: person looked like.
- 7:24Speaker 1: I mean, you know, if it were you or I.
- 7:25Speaker 6: I'm sure they'd say it was of Caucasian appearance. One
- 7:28Speaker 6: wonders what they would say if it was a black man,
- 7:31Speaker 6: for instance. I mean, you can't say he's tanned, unless,
- 7:34Speaker 6: of course he's a.
- 7:35Speaker 1: Very light black.
- 7:35Speaker 6: So what would you do in that circumstance. And it's
- 7:38Speaker 6: pretty typical to see if say someone is of African
- 7:40Speaker 6: appearance sort of like, it's not unusual for the cops
- 7:43Speaker 6: to come out with that detail. And so given this
- 7:46Speaker 6: is one of the first cases we've seen in this
- 7:48Speaker 6: country of it not being forthcoming I think we've got
- 7:51Speaker 6: to ask the question and the cops owe us the
- 7:53Speaker 6: answer as to why it wasn't told. Because if this
- 7:55Speaker 6: is something that might happen going forward where we're not
- 7:59Speaker 6: immediately pretty obvious descriptive details about someone, how can we
- 8:03Speaker 6: ever fight crime?
- 8:04Speaker 1: Right?
- 8:05Speaker 7: And this is something that has been so prolific for
- 8:08Speaker 7: quite some years now in the UK and America. I mean,
- 8:12Speaker 7: the memes now run large is to is the media
- 8:15Speaker 7: going to tell us an accurate description of this person,
- 8:19Speaker 7: because they would just be to all this bombing occurred
- 8:22Speaker 7: or this stabbing occurred, and until there was actually a
- 8:27Speaker 7: screenshots of the individual as we have shown you this evening,
- 8:32Speaker 7: everyone's been up in arms saying why didn't you say
- 8:34Speaker 7: you were looking for a black man? Why didn't you
- 8:36Speaker 7: say you were looking for someone who fits this particular description.
- 8:40Speaker 8: So we know that this is.
- 8:42Speaker 7: Something that has become a very regular malady in our
- 8:46Speaker 7: other western countries. So like you say, to have the
- 8:49Speaker 7: first what appears to be the first instance of it
- 8:52Speaker 7: here in Australia, it's like, come on, guys, do you
- 8:55Speaker 7: want to catch the culprit?
- 8:56Speaker 2: On just my last point on this, it's not polite
- 8:58Speaker 2: to withhold the descriptive tech insulting because it implies they're
- 9:02Speaker 2: afraid that average Joe Blow in Australia can't cope with
- 9:06Speaker 2: being told some information without then stereotyping every person he sees.
- 9:10Speaker 3: On the street. It's not polite, it's insulting to the
- 9:12Speaker 3: general populace.
- 9:13Speaker 7: Indeed, like, oh, white people would be like they said,
- 9:15Speaker 7: a Caucasian throw a hot beverage on this baby, as
- 9:18Speaker 7: if white people could care less. We just want to
- 9:21Speaker 7: catch the sicko that did this for crying out loud
- 9:25Speaker 7: to Germany now, where the state elections last week have
- 9:29Speaker 7: triggered a political earthquake because the AfD party, known as
- 9:35Speaker 7: the far right wing, very anti mass immigration party, did
- 9:41Speaker 7: incredibly well in Thuringia. They got twice as many votes
- 9:46Speaker 7: as the three ruling establishment coalition parties combined. In Saxony,
- 9:52Speaker 7: they came a very close second to Angela Merkle's former.
- 9:57Speaker 8: Party, the CDU.
- 10:00Speaker 7: So the government is now put on notice by the
- 10:03Speaker 7: German people. We are sick of the immigration rates. We
- 10:07Speaker 7: are sick of the crime that these immigration people are
- 10:10Speaker 7: bringing to our country. Check out this headline from four
- 10:13Speaker 7: months ago. The government's own website in Germany, a test
- 10:18Speaker 7: to the fact that foreign migrants account for nearly six
- 10:22Speaker 7: in ten crime suspects in Germany despite only comprising fourteen
- 10:27Speaker 7: point six percent.
- 10:28Speaker 8: Of the population.
- 10:29Speaker 7: Of course, that was four months ago, so there's now
- 10:33Speaker 7: more immigrants in Germany than there was then, and Germans
- 10:38Speaker 7: have sent a sign to their governments we are absolutely
- 10:42Speaker 7: sick of this.
- 10:43Speaker 8: Funny thing happened on the back of that.
- 10:45Speaker 7: Election because the AfD had done so well, they had
- 10:49Speaker 7: this one seat that was going to give them a
- 10:53Speaker 7: voting block in parliament, and all of a sudden, nothing
- 10:57Speaker 7: to see here, but all of a sudden they were told, oh,
- 11:01Speaker 7: actually there's been a miscalculation, some sort of computer problem,
- 11:06Speaker 7: and that one seat that would have given the AfD
- 11:10Speaker 7: a voting block in parliament was then given to a
- 11:13Speaker 7: different party. But the government has not had completely deaf ears,
- 11:20Speaker 7: because we learned today that they've decided to take some
- 11:24Speaker 7: firmer measures regarding the immigration.
- 11:27Speaker 8: Rates in Germany.
- 11:29Speaker 7: Germany's government has announced plans to impose tighter controls at
- 11:33Speaker 7: all of the country's land borders, in what it called
- 11:36Speaker 7: an attempt to tackle irregular migration and protect the public
- 11:41Speaker 7: from threats by threats. It's talking about Islamist extremism, which
- 11:47Speaker 7: has been the streets of Germany have been fraught with
- 11:50Speaker 7: it for many, many months now, and again the Germans
- 11:54Speaker 7: are absolutely sick of it. I find this interesting off
- 11:58Speaker 7: the back of last night's story talking about Hungary telling
- 12:01Speaker 7: the EU, you guys can get stuffed. We are not
- 12:05Speaker 7: allowing illegals into our country, and if you do insist
- 12:09Speaker 7: that they come here, we're busting them to Brussels on
- 12:12Speaker 7: a one way ticket. And we said last night it
- 12:16Speaker 7: would be good to see more European countries stand up
- 12:20Speaker 7: to the EU and say you can't force us to
- 12:23Speaker 7: take illegal migrants or legal migrants against what we see
- 12:29Speaker 7: as the interests of our national sovereignty. And here, just
- 12:33Speaker 7: one day later we're seeing this play out in Germany.
- 12:37Speaker 7: But notice all the media are calling this a very
- 12:39Speaker 7: controversial call. This is very controversial, and it may not
- 12:43Speaker 7: some posit, it may not even be legal.
- 12:46Speaker 8: Only time will tell.
- 12:48Speaker 7: I love that some of these European countries this time,
- 12:52Speaker 7: it's only because the Germans have given them such a
- 12:55Speaker 7: belting at the state election. The parliament knows we've got
- 12:59Speaker 7: to act on the otherwise we're dead in the water.
- 13:01Speaker 7: We almost gave the AfD a voting block. We have
- 13:05Speaker 7: to be seen to do something about this.
- 13:08Speaker 8: Power to the people. It looks like it's actually happening.
- 13:11Speaker 3: It's amazing.
- 13:12Speaker 2: We talked about it last night and then here we
- 13:13Speaker 2: are Germany making changes already. So clearly the late debate
- 13:16Speaker 2: having incredible influence all over the world.
- 13:19Speaker 3: But I'll tell you the other.
- 13:20Speaker 2: Thing that probably tipped them into taking action was the
- 13:24Speaker 2: stabbing to death of three people, of all things, a
- 13:27Speaker 2: diversity festival in the city of Zulian back in June.
- 13:33Speaker 2: And there was laws about that. Sorry, not in June,
- 13:37Speaker 2: it was last month. There was outrage about that. This
- 13:40Speaker 2: was a Syrian migrant who actually hid in an asylum
- 13:44Speaker 2: refugee hostel before he was eventually caught.
- 13:50Speaker 3: Isis claimed responsibility.
- 13:52Speaker 2: And so you've got a festival celebrating diversity, celebrating the
- 13:55Speaker 2: fact they've brought all these people, it's millions of people
- 13:58Speaker 2: they've brought into the country, and people are getting stabbed
- 14:01Speaker 2: at that event. So there's huge there's white hot anger.
- 14:05Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, And that's only the most recent Again, just
- 14:08Speaker 7: like the UK, this has been playing out for a
- 14:11Speaker 7: very long time now and Germans have had it up
- 14:14Speaker 7: to here. I mean, under Angela Merkel, millions of illegals
- 14:20Speaker 7: and legal migrants we're is flooding into Germany. Germany is
- 14:24Speaker 7: no longer Germany, and I don't think it ever will
- 14:27Speaker 7: be the Germany that we've all known and loved for
- 14:29Speaker 7: a very long time.
- 14:30Speaker 8: It just won't be.
- 14:31Speaker 7: You can't let that many people into your country without
- 14:34Speaker 7: it fundamentally changing forever.
- 14:36Speaker 6: And THEU only has itself to blame for this pushback
- 14:39Speaker 6: against what is happening now because where Germany sits in
- 14:43Speaker 6: terms of is landlocked in Europe, it sits in a
- 14:46Speaker 6: zone that is generally free movement. Anyone can come and
- 14:49Speaker 6: go as they wish. Germany's finally gone. Hang on a minute,
- 14:52Speaker 6: this isn't working out for us. We need to take
- 14:54Speaker 6: control back of our borders for our country, regardless of
- 14:58Speaker 6: our ties to the EU. And that's why the reporting
- 15:01Speaker 6: has said, you know, it could be legally fraud. Because
- 15:03Speaker 6: we talked last night about the case with Hungary where
- 15:05Speaker 6: they're in trouble because they have refused access to asylum seekers,
- 15:09Speaker 6: cracked down on that significantly. The EU then told them, well,
- 15:12Speaker 6: if you don't play by our rules, we're going to
- 15:14Speaker 6: find you. They then refuse to pay the fine. Now
- 15:17Speaker 6: they've got a two hundred million euro fine sitting there
- 15:20Speaker 6: that they've got to pay by mid month, and if
- 15:22Speaker 6: they don't pay it, the EU is going to dock
- 15:24Speaker 6: their funding out of the EU budget. And as you said,
- 15:27Speaker 6: I mean they said, we'll just bust them all into Brussels.
- 15:29Speaker 1: If that's what they want.
- 15:30Speaker 6: They've said it, stick it up yours, which Germany is
- 15:33Speaker 6: now starting to do as well. And so you've got
- 15:35Speaker 6: Hungry and you've got Germany, but they need more countries
- 15:38Speaker 6: to get on board because no doubt the EU, like
- 15:41Speaker 6: they did to Hungry, will launch some kind of legal
- 15:44Speaker 6: challenge or they will threaten fines or other sanctions against
- 15:47Speaker 6: Germany for doing this. They've initially said it will be
- 15:50Speaker 6: a six month trial, but one imagines that if that works,
- 15:53Speaker 6: which you imagined.
- 15:54Speaker 1: It will, if they do it properly, then it will.
- 15:56Speaker 6: Just continue long after that. So they need other nations
- 15:59Speaker 6: to on board and do the same thing. Because you know,
- 16:02Speaker 6: it's great that Germany is now on board, but if
- 16:04Speaker 6: you've still only got two European countries in the wilderness
- 16:07Speaker 6: standing up for themselves and no one else backing them,
- 16:10Speaker 6: you know, standing behind them and doing the same. Then
- 16:13Speaker 6: they will come up against the same might of the
- 16:15Speaker 6: EU that Hungry faced, and the danger is that they
- 16:18Speaker 6: will start to back down.
- 16:20Speaker 1: They can not back down. The people have voted for it.
- 16:23Speaker 6: We know what they want, and ultimately what they voted
- 16:26Speaker 6: for is less say.
- 16:28Speaker 1: From the EU.
- 16:29Speaker 6: And as I said last night, it's no wonder that
- 16:32Speaker 6: the UK pulled out of the EU. Brexit went ahead,
- 16:35Speaker 6: and that's essentially what we need to start seeing here
- 16:38Speaker 6: countries pushing back and saying no, no, we want our sovereignty back.
- 16:41Speaker 6: We're happy to be part of a trade packed or
- 16:45Speaker 6: whatever it might be in terms of some form of EU,
- 16:48Speaker 6: but we fundamentally want our sovereignty back because the experiment
- 16:51Speaker 6: of the EU having total control has not worked.
- 16:54Speaker 8: That.
- 16:54Speaker 2: The other interesting part about this is that the German
- 16:57Speaker 2: governments specifically mentioned Islamic extra as the reason they want
- 17:02Speaker 2: to close their borders, and that's interesting talk, especially coming
- 17:06Speaker 2: from Germany. They tend to be very reticent to be
- 17:08Speaker 2: that specific about what the real issue is. So maybe
- 17:12Speaker 2: this represents a start we can only hope of a
- 17:15Speaker 2: turning point in Europe.
- 17:16Speaker 7: Well, you do wonder if this is the beginning of
- 17:18Speaker 7: the end of the EU. What kind of parliament is
- 17:22Speaker 7: forcing sovereign countries to take in.
- 17:25Speaker 8: More and more foreigners.
- 17:27Speaker 7: You can't do that, and more and more countries are
- 17:30Speaker 7: saying so. It was months ago we had the EU elections.
- 17:34Speaker 7: France was just completely like, we hate this.
- 17:38Speaker 8: We won out and voted for these far right members
- 17:42Speaker 8: to get into.
- 17:42Speaker 7: The EU because they were like, for crying out loud,
- 17:45Speaker 7: you guys stand up for us, because they're also sick
- 17:49Speaker 7: to the back teeth of a lot of Islamic migration
- 17:54Speaker 7: into France, which again is another country which is unrecognizable
- 17:58Speaker 7: from the France of yesteryear. Is that we all knew
- 18:01Speaker 7: and once loved. But I do hope that this is
- 18:05Speaker 7: the beginning of a revolution. The UK paved the way,
- 18:08Speaker 7: said we're out of here. You guys suck, You're not
- 18:11Speaker 7: about the UK, you don't care about what's best for.
- 18:14Speaker 8: Us, So we are leaving.
- 18:16Speaker 7: How many more countries may one day stand up and
- 18:20Speaker 7: do the same, because right now we're looking at populaces
- 18:23Speaker 7: in these countries who are all definitively voting against.
- 18:28Speaker 8: What's happening in the EU.
- 18:30Speaker 7: And if they were to have a Brexit vote of sorts.
- 18:34Speaker 7: I have no doubt France would be out, Hungary would
- 18:36Speaker 7: be out, Germany would be out if it went to
- 18:39Speaker 7: a democratic election where it was up to the people
- 18:42Speaker 7: of those countries, and who knows how many more would
- 18:45Speaker 7: also vote to lead.
- 18:46Speaker 6: Liu just sees the dollar signs more people in the
- 18:48Speaker 6: EU means a bigger economy, etc.
- 18:50Speaker 1: That's all they're interested in.
- 18:52Speaker 6: But of course individual countries know that it's all good
- 18:54Speaker 6: and well to have a bustling economy, but you've got
- 18:57Speaker 6: to have people who actually want to live in the country,
- 18:59Speaker 6: not just once been busting over the border. Let's go
- 19:01Speaker 6: to the US because, of course tomorrow will be the
- 19:04Speaker 6: first face off between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, the
- 19:08Speaker 6: first debate and probably the last debate since she became
- 19:11Speaker 6: the Democratic nominee replacing Joe Biden. You can watch all
- 19:14Speaker 6: the action here on scar News tomorrow from eleven a m.
- 19:18Speaker 1: But what has Kamala Harris been doing.
- 19:21Speaker 6: To prepare for this debate? We know, of course that
- 19:24Speaker 6: she's been very reticent to do any interviews. She's only
- 19:27Speaker 6: done one interview so far, and she had her emotional
- 19:30Speaker 6: support candidate Vice presidential candidate Tim Waltz there holding her
- 19:34Speaker 6: hand the whole time. It only went for twenty six
- 19:36Speaker 6: minutes in pretty friendly territory with CNN. We know that
- 19:40Speaker 6: she does not want to front up, so she's got
- 19:43Speaker 6: to work over time to get herself ready to compete
- 19:46Speaker 6: against Donald Trump. Well what's she been doing. She's had
- 19:50Speaker 6: a bloke come in to pretend to be Donald Trump.
- 19:53Speaker 6: She's in a hotel room with the stage lights like
- 19:56Speaker 6: we have here in the studio, pretending.
- 19:59Speaker 1: She's talking into the man himself. Take a listen.
- 20:02Speaker 9: Vice President Kamala Harris. She is in her hotel in Pittsburgh.
- 20:07Speaker 9: They've got the lights as if it's in a studio,
- 20:09Speaker 9: they've got the stage. They've even brought in somebody who's
- 20:12Speaker 9: dressed in acting like the former president. And then we
- 20:15Speaker 9: know that the former president himself is just having sort
- 20:17Speaker 9: of informal policy discussions from what we understand, in preparation
- 20:20Speaker 9: for Tuesday.
- 20:22Speaker 1: I mean, how good is that?
- 20:24Speaker 6: And I think it goes to the point that politicians
- 20:27Speaker 6: in America do not front up to the media, and
- 20:29Speaker 6: they don't front up to the public anywhere near as
- 20:31Speaker 6: much as politicians do in this country. Of course, you know,
- 20:34Speaker 6: the Prime minister is constantly interviewed on television. In Australia,
- 20:39Speaker 6: they constantly have debates in the lead up to elections.
- 20:42Speaker 6: They're not so afraid to front the media because they
- 20:45Speaker 6: know how to deal with the media, whereas in the
- 20:46Speaker 6: US they shield them away.
- 20:48Speaker 1: They don't have anything.
- 20:49Speaker 6: To do with it, and so when they're faced with
- 20:51Speaker 6: something like this, they don't know what to do, which
- 20:53Speaker 6: is why Trump has a bit of an advantage in
- 20:55Speaker 6: these circumstances because Trump is a media man. He's been
- 20:59Speaker 6: an entertainer his whole life, so he sort of knows
- 21:02Speaker 6: how to conduct himself in these circumstances.
- 21:04Speaker 1: The bloke who's.
- 21:05Speaker 6: Been pretending to be Donald Trump, this isn't his first outing.
- 21:09Speaker 6: He did this with Hillary Clinton back in twenty sixteen.
- 21:13Speaker 6: Philip Rains is his name. He dresses up, as we
- 21:16Speaker 6: heard before, like Donald Trump. Now we should specify, he
- 21:19Speaker 6: doesn't put a wig on to look exactly like him.
- 21:22Speaker 3: It looks nothing like.
- 21:23Speaker 6: Well he did once he said that in twenty sixteen
- 21:26Speaker 6: he had a go at tanning his face a bit
- 21:29Speaker 6: to see if it could make him look a bit
- 21:31Speaker 6: more like Donald Trump, but no one particularly noticed, so
- 21:34Speaker 6: he gave up on that idea. But here's a little
- 21:36Speaker 6: kip of him preparing with Hillary Clinton in twenty sixteen,
- 21:39Speaker 6: trying out to maybe a little bit.
- 21:41Speaker 1: Of violence post debate.
- 21:57Speaker 6: At least he didn't grab a bother you know where,
- 21:59Speaker 6: and I assume won't see any of that sort of
- 22:01Speaker 6: conduct from Donald Trump tomorrow. Trump himself, though, asked what
- 22:05Speaker 6: he was doing to prepare for the debate well ta
- 22:08Speaker 6: to listen.
- 22:10Speaker 3: Har specifically preparing for the debate versus Harris. I'm not
- 22:13Speaker 3: really I'm not spending a lot of time on it.
- 22:16Speaker 1: I think my whole life we're preparing for a debate.
- 22:18Speaker 10: You know, you can go in and you can have
- 22:20Speaker 10: all sorts of sessions.
- 22:21Speaker 11: I watched Mick Romney go in and he worked so
- 22:24Speaker 11: hard he four weeks, he locked himself into a lock
- 22:27Speaker 11: cabit and then he developed luck jow.
- 22:30Speaker 1: He couldn't couldn't speak.
- 22:32Speaker 3: I watched other people.
- 22:33Speaker 1: I mean you basically, you have to be real.
- 22:37Speaker 11: You know, you can't cram knowledge into your head, for
- 22:40Speaker 11: you know, thirty years of knowledge in one week.
- 22:44Speaker 6: I mean, the whole idea and this is, you know,
- 22:47Speaker 6: quite possibly the event that could decide the way.
- 22:50Speaker 1: A lot of people vote in this election.
- 22:51Speaker 6: But the idea that you would be hold up is
- 22:54Speaker 6: Harris in a hotel room with like bright lights on
- 22:57Speaker 6: you like you're in the TV studio. You've got it
- 23:00Speaker 6: guy there who's pretending to be Donald Trump. If she
- 23:03Speaker 6: shows up tomorrow and fudges it, well, she's had every
- 23:06Speaker 6: opportunity not to.
- 23:07Speaker 3: There's a couple of unique things with this.
- 23:09Speaker 2: I mean, firstly, the debate tomorrow is the first time
- 23:12Speaker 2: apparently that Kamala Harris will have met Donald Trump. So
- 23:16Speaker 2: maybe the fact she's got an impersonator there is an
- 23:19Speaker 2: allusion to the fact that she's a little bit intimidated and.
- 23:22Speaker 3: Not sure what to expect.
- 23:23Speaker 2: Because Donald Trump has specified there are to be no
- 23:25Speaker 2: platforms used.
- 23:26Speaker 3: Because Kamala Harris.
- 23:27Speaker 2: Is only five foot four, Trump will tower over her,
- 23:31Speaker 2: and there was a suggestion that maybe she'll find a
- 23:33Speaker 2: little something to stand on to make herself look a
- 23:35Speaker 2: little bit more, you know, presidential compared to him. It's
- 23:40Speaker 2: a ninety minute debate and no notes are allowed. As
- 23:43Speaker 2: you said, she's only done one interview since accepting the candidacy,
- 23:47Speaker 2: and it was with her Vice president nominee, who she
- 23:51Speaker 2: held hands with. The entire time, so I can well
- 23:54Speaker 2: imagine she is preparing NonStop. But I just love Trump,
- 23:56Speaker 2: and he proved why. He'll be brilliant with that. Just
- 23:59Speaker 2: a random quest question and what are you doing to prepare?
- 24:02Speaker 2: And immediately I'm not, And he makes the point brilliantly.
- 24:05Speaker 2: He is going to wipe the floor with commandments.
- 24:07Speaker 7: In a word, he used the word authenticity. And whether
- 24:11Speaker 7: you like Trump or not, he is what he is
- 24:15Speaker 7: and he never pretends to be anything else.
- 24:17Speaker 8: Some would say that's to.
- 24:18Speaker 7: His detriment, but people have a built in BS meter.
- 24:23Speaker 7: We can tell when someone's faking it. We can tell
- 24:25Speaker 7: when they're trying too hard. We can tell when they're
- 24:29Speaker 7: sweating bullets while trying to look comfortable. You don't see
- 24:33Speaker 7: Trump do that because he is authentic. And I think
- 24:38Speaker 7: what we're going to see tomorrow, and I cannot wait.
- 24:41Speaker 7: I've got my body weight in popcorn.
- 24:44Speaker 8: Ready to go. We will see that.
- 24:47Speaker 7: We will see this woman who is quintessentially fake.
- 24:51Speaker 8: She does not have substance.
- 24:53Speaker 7: We've been laughing about it for the better part of
- 24:56Speaker 7: three years now, versus Trump, who, like he said, I
- 25:00Speaker 7: am what I am. I don't even have to prepare
- 25:03Speaker 7: whatever the questions are I already know the answers. I'm
- 25:06Speaker 7: ready for this, I was born for this. That is
- 25:09Speaker 7: the massive difference that are people going to see tomorrow.
- 25:11Speaker 6: And you say you'll have your body weight in popcorn,
- 25:14Speaker 6: Harris has to hope that she doesn't have her body
- 25:16Speaker 6: weight in word salads, because that is where she could
- 25:19Speaker 6: really fall apart tomorrow. We know with these presidential debates
- 25:23Speaker 6: generally there's not.
- 25:24Speaker 1: A lot of policy substance.
- 25:26Speaker 6: Certainly, the debate we saw between Biden and Trump, there
- 25:30Speaker 6: was no policy substance whatsoever. It was purely a personality
- 25:34Speaker 6: clash and that's probably what you will see again tomorrow.
- 25:38Speaker 6: And so Harris really has to watch herself because we
- 25:40Speaker 6: know Donald Trump can ramble a lot, but you sort
- 25:42Speaker 6: of expect that of Donald Trump. He sort of goes
- 25:44Speaker 6: off on tangents and whatever. So if he can lead
- 25:48Speaker 6: her in the wrong direction, whether he knows he's doing
- 25:51Speaker 6: it or not, with his rambling, she can then fall
- 25:54Speaker 6: into that trap and go off into her word salads.
- 25:56Speaker 6: At least you know where Donald Trump is going with
- 25:58Speaker 6: what he's saying, starts wheeling that stuff out tomorrow. I know,
- 26:03Speaker 6: again we all sort of expected, but this is something
- 26:05Speaker 6: that will be watched around the world, much like the
- 26:08Speaker 6: Biden debate was.
- 26:09Speaker 1: And if people take a look at that.
- 26:11Speaker 6: And go, heck, perhaps we didn't pick much better than
- 26:13Speaker 6: we had last time. It could be the thing that
- 26:16Speaker 6: sinks her. That's what she would be really worried about.
- 26:19Speaker 2: It is going to be highly entertaining and as Caleb said,
- 26:21Speaker 2: you can watch it here on Sky eleven am tomorrow
- 26:24Speaker 2: Australian Eastern Standard time. One of the questions Kamala Harris
- 26:27Speaker 2: should be asked in that debate is what on earth
- 26:29Speaker 2: went on in Afghanistan. Of course, the Biden Harris administration
- 26:34Speaker 2: withdrew from Afghanistan and it was an absolute shamozzle. They
- 26:38Speaker 2: left billions of dollars worth of military equipment behind. Thirteen
- 26:41Speaker 2: servicemen were killed, as well as hundreds of locals, and
- 26:45Speaker 2: America's enemies around the world were absolutely emboldened not to
- 26:48Speaker 2: mention the fact that Taliban are now in control of
- 26:51Speaker 2: Afghanistan after all those years and all that money and
- 26:54Speaker 2: all those lives spent trying to stabilize the country. Well,
- 26:58Speaker 2: John Kirby, he's the National security spokesman for that White House.
- 27:01Speaker 2: He was asked if anyone was ever going to take
- 27:04Speaker 2: accountability for what happened and have listened to his response?
- 27:09Speaker 7: Was anyone ever held accountable by the president directly for
- 27:13Speaker 7: what happened with the withdrawal in Afghanistan?
- 27:15Speaker 8: And if not, remind the audience why not.
- 27:18Speaker 11: We have all held ourselves accountable for the progress of
- 27:22Speaker 11: the withdrawal cross the administration. And it was a true
- 27:25Speaker 11: interagency effort to get those one hundred and twenty thousand
- 27:29Speaker 11: people out and to make sure we removed our diplomats
- 27:33Speaker 11: and our military personnel safely. As I said, ed not
- 27:37Speaker 11: everything went according to plan, nothing ever does.
- 27:41Speaker 3: Was anyone held accountable? Oh, we've all had ourselves accountable?
- 27:44Speaker 3: Then why are you still there? Why haven't you fired yourselves? Liz?
- 27:48Speaker 2: When you hold yourself accountable, it means no one is
- 27:51Speaker 2: held accountable.
- 27:52Speaker 3: In fact, the only.
- 27:53Speaker 7: Wrong things go wrong, you know, nothing ever goes and
- 27:56Speaker 7: completely according to plans, So leaving the Taliban billion dollars
- 28:01Speaker 7: worth of the military clement. It's just one of those things,
- 28:04Speaker 7: you know, what happens when you're withdrawing after twenty years
- 28:08Speaker 7: in Afghanistan and leaving everyone to wonder, firstly, what the
- 28:12Speaker 7: heck was the point of that in the first place,
- 28:14Speaker 7: if you're gonna leave the guys that you were supposedly
- 28:18Speaker 7: going in to beat and wipe off the face of
- 28:21Speaker 7: the earth and conquer for good two decades.
- 28:24Speaker 8: You just you didn't manage that.
- 28:26Speaker 7: You leave between with your darrel between your legs, and
- 28:29Speaker 7: leave the Taliban better off than you found them with
- 28:33Speaker 7: you mute military capacity to the tune.
- 28:37Speaker 8: Of over seven billion dollars.
- 28:39Speaker 7: But you know, these things happen. These things happen, you guys,
- 28:42Speaker 7: and it didn't go according to plan, and nothing ever does.
- 28:46Speaker 8: But we tried.
- 28:46Speaker 3: But we've held ourselves accountable. So it's all good. Move on.
- 28:50Speaker 6: I just I can't get know the fact that he
- 28:52Speaker 6: can say it with a straight face, and I know
- 28:54Speaker 6: that's his job as a press sect to you know,
- 28:57Speaker 6: spin the absolute but Jesus out of these things. But
- 29:00Speaker 6: it's we're sitting here laughing about it, but it's not
- 29:03Speaker 6: really a laughing matter to say that, to say that, oh, well,
- 29:07Speaker 6: you know, not everything goes to plan, nothing ever does. Okay,
- 29:10Speaker 6: So you've by the actions you took, you have now
- 29:14Speaker 6: led to the widespread, once again subjugation of women in Afghanistan,
- 29:18Speaker 6: where they're now no longer allowed to play sport, they
- 29:20Speaker 6: can't speak out in public, they can't dance, they can't
- 29:23Speaker 6: do all the things that you would expect people to
- 29:25Speaker 6: be able to do. And of course, you know, you
- 29:27Speaker 6: often make the comparison of what the Middle East looked
- 29:30Speaker 6: like Iran, Afghanistan, you know, back in the sixties, and
- 29:33Speaker 6: what it looks like now. What was the objective of
- 29:37Speaker 6: going into Afghanistan if ultimately we pulled out and allowed
- 29:40Speaker 6: the Taliban to come back. When you pull out of
- 29:43Speaker 6: a country after going to war there, unless you have
- 29:46Speaker 6: set up something else to take over, you create a vacuum.
- 29:50Speaker 6: I mean, the US created the greatest vacuum of all
- 29:52Speaker 6: time because, as you say, they left all the weapons behind.
- 29:55Speaker 6: Taliban just walked straight back in and said, oh, thanks
- 29:57Speaker 6: very much, mister.
- 29:58Speaker 1: Barden, you've got here for us.
- 30:00Speaker 6: And by doing that, they have led to the deaths
- 30:04Speaker 6: of loads and loads of people, the subjugation of loads
- 30:07Speaker 6: and loads of people. They have left them in the lurch.
- 30:09Speaker 6: They are scared for their lives, they're scared for their freedom, etc.
- 30:13Speaker 6: And that is directly what the Biden administration did, and
- 30:17Speaker 6: they just go, well, some things don't go to plan
- 30:19Speaker 6: what was the plan in the first place.
- 30:21Speaker 3: That response reminded me.
- 30:23Speaker 2: Do you remember when Hillary Clinton was asked about the
- 30:25Speaker 2: balls up in Benghazi and they had their diplomat who
- 30:28Speaker 2: was horrifically murdered. Rate it was just a disgrace, And
- 30:32Speaker 2: effectively she shrugged her shoulders and said, that's one of
- 30:35Speaker 2: those things. It's the same democratic response. So when things
- 30:39Speaker 2: go wrong, they shrug their shoulders and say, oh, well,
- 30:42Speaker 2: you know you can't get it all right, and expect
- 30:44Speaker 2: everyone to move on.
- 30:45Speaker 8: But everyone does move on, which just curls.
- 30:48Speaker 3: Make they've got the media in their pocket.
- 30:50Speaker 7: Absolutely, but everyday people should be watching this play out repeatedly.
- 30:55Speaker 7: It's not the first time we've been here and just
- 30:58Speaker 7: say no.
- 30:58Speaker 8: You floods have got to go.
- 31:00Speaker 7: We are not re electing you, Like, how can you
- 31:03Speaker 7: not then vote in their home state accordingly and say no, no, no,
- 31:07Speaker 7: we remember what you did and what you didn't do.
- 31:10Speaker 8: You don't get to stay in parliament period.
- 31:13Speaker 7: Someone who has stayed in Parliament for far, far too long,
- 31:17Speaker 7: Former Speaker.
- 31:18Speaker 8: Of the House, Nancy Pelosi, has declared.
- 31:20Speaker 7: That basically thirty percent of Republicans are racist, sexist homophobes.
- 31:27Speaker 8: Here she is during an interview letting them.
- 31:30Speaker 7: Have it, saying this is why, this is why this
- 31:33Speaker 7: certain amount of people will never vote Democrat, because this
- 31:37Speaker 7: is who they are to their core.
- 31:40Speaker 10: Why is it so close from your assessment as a
- 31:43Speaker 10: plic This is a guy who's done a lot of
- 31:45Speaker 10: things that you have characterized as thugs, the attack on
- 31:49Speaker 10: the Capitol, there is just the most the video that
- 31:52Speaker 10: came out where you're talking about he's got to pay
- 31:53Speaker 10: a price, it's clearly not paying any price. He could
- 31:56Speaker 10: win the presidency again.
- 31:58Speaker 12: There are people who will never shall we say, inclined
- 32:02Speaker 12: to support Democrats because of they just have a different
- 32:08Speaker 12: orientation to it. Whomen, people of color, LGBTQ, you know,
- 32:12Speaker 12: they just are not ever going to be there. So
- 32:15Speaker 12: say that's about like thirty percent or something like that.
- 32:18Speaker 7: And then of the Republicans, they're just you can't help
- 32:23Speaker 7: those people, you know, they're just they're in the two
- 32:26Speaker 7: hard basket. They're just sexist, racist, homophobes. This is such
- 32:30Speaker 7: old rhetoric from the Dems, and obviously they're piggybacking off
- 32:35Speaker 7: this caricature of Trump that they've created, and now the
- 32:40Speaker 7: label is applied to anyone who wouldn't support the Democrats.
- 32:45Speaker 2: There's a biggest story here, though, that everyone is missing.
- 32:47Speaker 2: She said thirty percent of Trump supporters a homophobic, sexist,
- 32:51Speaker 2: and racist, but back in twenty sixteen, Hillary Clinton said
- 32:54Speaker 2: fifty percent was enophobic basis.
- 32:57Speaker 3: So it just shows Republicans are improving.
- 32:59Speaker 2: All that's how far they've come, correct, even in eight years,
- 33:04Speaker 2: and they'll practically be democratic.
- 33:05Speaker 6: Well, and you mentioned Hillary Clinton back in twenty sixteen.
- 33:08Speaker 6: You wonder whether this is Pelosi sort of basket of
- 33:11Speaker 6: deplorables moment. Have they not learnt that back in twenty sixteen,
- 33:16Speaker 6: insulting people who were thinking of voting for.
- 33:19Speaker 1: Trump did not work. It embolded them.
- 33:22Speaker 6: It said, well, if you think I'm such a piece
- 33:24Speaker 6: of excrement, of course I'm going.
- 33:25Speaker 1: To go and vote for Trump because you don't want
- 33:27Speaker 1: my vote.
- 33:28Speaker 6: And that's exactly what Nancy Pelosi is doing here. I mean,
- 33:31Speaker 6: I know she's over the age of eighty and she's
- 33:33Speaker 6: dotttery and whatever.
- 33:34Speaker 1: But seriously, she should know.
- 33:36Speaker 6: Of all people, she's been in politics long enough, she
- 33:38Speaker 6: should have enough nouse to know that you don't convince
- 33:41Speaker 6: someone to change their mind by insulting them. And that
- 33:45Speaker 6: is continually what people like her and Hillary Clinton have
- 33:48Speaker 6: gone for. If you want Trump to win in November,
- 33:53Speaker 6: keep saying stuff like this because it makes them go, well,
- 33:56Speaker 6: if you don't want my vote, I'm going to go
- 33:58Speaker 6: and give it to someone else. Props to this guy,
- 34:00Speaker 6: by the way, Alex Steinger, Now you were you saw
- 34:03Speaker 6: that clip there? Pelosi was in Texas. She's been in
- 34:06Speaker 6: Texas launching her new book, and she was at her
- 34:09Speaker 6: book signing and this fellow mister Stinger, who is a comedian,
- 34:14Speaker 6: right wing comedian, approached her to ask a few questions
- 34:17Speaker 6: about her stock trading.
- 34:20Speaker 1: I know, I was listening.
- 34:24Speaker 9: I let me get at soul now, and I want
- 34:26Speaker 9: to say how much I appreciate your like fear staunched
- 34:30Speaker 9: the fanning of democracy.
- 34:31Speaker 1: It really means so so much, you know, and.
- 34:35Speaker 9: You know, like honestly, like I'm really scared about, you know,
- 34:38Speaker 9: Donald Trump winning the election.
- 34:40Speaker 8: And honestly, with Dolmand doesn't from me on that. I
- 34:42Speaker 8: was like, you know, I honestly, do you one chance
- 34:44Speaker 8: to like that? We have as to doctor Donald Trump
- 34:47Speaker 8: to actually send.
- 34:47Speaker 4: The rest of his wife in prisoner. We do all
- 34:51Speaker 4: Nancy Lesson for.
- 34:52Speaker 1: Me, whats what stock should I buy?
- 34:56Speaker 9: Nancy, You're the greatest options trainer of all time, is
- 35:00Speaker 9: one of the most stocks.
- 35:09Speaker 6: And for that he got dragged away. By the way,
- 35:11Speaker 6: you should pay attention to what stocks she's buying. She
- 35:13Speaker 6: never seems to lose, does Nancy Pelosi. Before we get
- 35:17Speaker 6: to the break curious image we saw the other day
- 35:20Speaker 6: of Zara and Marke Tindall, of course of the royal family,
- 35:24Speaker 6: and they were at the Burly Horse Trials in Lincolnshire
- 35:28Speaker 6: in the UK. And I note that the kids sporting
- 35:32Speaker 6: Magic Millions caps here, so good on them for celebrating
- 35:35Speaker 6: Australian horse racing. But on their eldest child, you can
- 35:39Speaker 6: see hanging off the belt loop on her shorts is
- 35:44Speaker 6: an Apple tag. Now you can use an apple tag
- 35:47Speaker 6: to track something. People often put them on their luggage,
- 35:50Speaker 6: They put them on their pets and stuff to see
- 35:52Speaker 6: where they're going to. They've seen fit to put one
- 35:55Speaker 6: on their child to track her, and it raises the question,
- 35:58Speaker 6: you know, is it acceptable to be tracking your child
- 36:02Speaker 6: all the time via the means of internet as they
- 36:04Speaker 6: seem to be doing there. I can see an argument
- 36:07Speaker 6: for doing it at a big event like that, You know,
- 36:09Speaker 6: I suppose it's every parent's worst night mere that you
- 36:12Speaker 6: lose a kid in the crowd and you'd like to
- 36:14Speaker 6: be able to find them. I mean, you know, you
- 36:16Speaker 6: and I and many of us might remember once upon
- 36:18Speaker 6: a time, you know, you'd write a phone number on
- 36:21Speaker 6: a kid's arm at a big event like the Royal
- 36:23Speaker 6: Show or something, so if they got lost, they knew
- 36:25Speaker 6: he is who to call to get mum and dad.
- 36:27Speaker 6: But the idea that you would track beyond that in general,
- 36:31Speaker 6: I find a bit weird, particularly when it gets into
- 36:34Speaker 6: teenage years, because you're taking away any level of trust
- 36:38Speaker 6: in a child. And I think it's important to give
- 36:41Speaker 6: children a level of trust, because we know they stay
- 36:43Speaker 6: at home longer and longer, and they're so infantilized these
- 36:46Speaker 6: days that you've actually got to give them a little
- 36:49Speaker 6: bit of room to look after themselves and take some responsibility.
- 36:52Speaker 8: I don't think it's got to do with trust at all.
- 36:55Speaker 7: It's got to do with duty of care, because you
- 36:57Speaker 7: can have the most trustworthy sixteen year old who makes
- 37:01Speaker 7: a dumb decision, climbs into the wrong car some uber driver.
- 37:05Speaker 7: I mean, I don't think parents can underestimate how evil
- 37:10Speaker 7: some people are out there this day, in this day
- 37:14Speaker 7: and age.
- 37:14Speaker 8: Sadly, this is now the world that we live in.
- 37:17Speaker 7: We open the show talking about some random sicko who
- 37:20Speaker 7: dowsed a baby in a boiling hot coffee. No reason,
- 37:24Speaker 7: no relation, no just ran up and committed this crime.
- 37:28Speaker 7: I think parents have every right to be as vigilant
- 37:31Speaker 7: as they possibly can be, regardless of the age of
- 37:35Speaker 7: their kid.
- 37:35Speaker 2: I wish i'd been tracking my son when we're in
- 37:37Speaker 2: New York and I lost him in What's What's the park.
- 37:42Speaker 3: Park in New York. We're bike riding, and I lost
- 37:44Speaker 3: him for forty minutes. Eventually I saw a.
- 37:49Speaker 2: Police card down the road and some kid with a
- 37:52Speaker 2: bike and the bike was being put in the boot.
- 37:53Speaker 2: I thought my son I got there. Fortunately it was him,
- 37:56Speaker 2: but my son was mad because he said Dad, I
- 37:58Speaker 2: was just thinking about to get a ride in an NYP.
- 38:02Speaker 8: So is less concerned.
- 38:04Speaker 7: Happy to mail child though as well, because you know,
- 38:08Speaker 7: if it's a girl, you are just on the highest
- 38:11Speaker 7: of alerts.
- 38:12Speaker 8: And that is what Mia, the Tyndall's eldest child is.
- 38:15Speaker 8: So I don't blame them one bet.
- 38:17Speaker 2: We're going to go to a break, but stick around
- 38:19Speaker 2: when we come back with what's making news in the
- 38:21Speaker 2: papers tomorrow.
- 38:22Speaker 3: That's alone.
- 38:26Speaker 2: Okay, let's take a look at what's making news tomorrow
- 38:28Speaker 2: and for Tasmanians, you are going to love the front
- 38:31Speaker 2: page of the Mercury.
- 38:32Speaker 3: It's pretty good, is it?
- 38:33Speaker 1: Casey Oh, this is the best news ever.
- 38:35Speaker 6: What council stopwork could mean to you? No finding zones
- 38:39Speaker 6: as the headline. The Hobart City Council is facing a
- 38:42Speaker 6: substantial hit to its revenue as a dispute between staff
- 38:45Speaker 6: and management threatens to boil over into industrial action, which
- 38:49Speaker 6: could include work stoppages and a refusal.
- 38:52Speaker 1: To collect parking fines from the community. How good is this?
- 38:58Speaker 1: We should see a lot more of this now.
- 39:01Speaker 6: The problem here is because the workers are complaining about
- 39:03Speaker 6: the pay rise they've been offered, which is three percent.
- 39:06Speaker 6: They want a bit more and so in response they said,
- 39:08Speaker 6: we'll bugger it. We're not going to find people for overstaying.
- 39:11Speaker 6: They're welcome in parking spots.
- 39:12Speaker 1: Good, let's have this all the time.
- 39:15Speaker 6: I'm imploring, and you know, normally I wouldn't be here,
- 39:18Speaker 6: you know, shouting out the unions and saying how great
- 39:21Speaker 6: they are and how good it is to have strikes.
- 39:24Speaker 6: But I'm saying every council worker in the country should
- 39:27Speaker 6: go on strike tomorrow and threaten to not collect parking
- 39:31Speaker 6: fines in order to get a pay rise, because I'm
- 39:33Speaker 6: pretty sure they're going to praie rise quick, smart and
- 39:35Speaker 6: we'll all be able to enjoy it from.
- 39:37Speaker 8: More industrial action.
- 39:38Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 39:39Speaker 7: Here first, on the Lake debate last week, we were
- 39:42Speaker 7: talking about the Victorian police force who wants a pay
- 39:46Speaker 7: rise from the Victorian government which has no money.
- 39:49Speaker 8: So good luck with that boys.
- 39:51Speaker 7: But they have said, well, we're just not going to
- 39:54Speaker 7: give out parking fines I mean speeding fines rather. So
- 39:57Speaker 7: Victorians rejoice because as long as it's industrial action is
- 40:01Speaker 7: in place by.
- 40:02Speaker 8: The cops, maybe you can travel a little bit faster
- 40:06Speaker 8: on your roads these days.
- 40:07Speaker 2: I just want to use this opportunity to encourage in
- 40:09Speaker 2: your South Wales police you need more money, especially traffic branch.
- 40:14Speaker 13: Yeah, you need to put it down absolutely to the
- 40:18Speaker 13: front page of the OARS Now steggle Teals demand seventy
- 40:23Speaker 13: five percent emissions reductions, that is by twenty thirty five.
- 40:28Speaker 7: Zalie Stegel has led Teal MPs in calling for a
- 40:31Speaker 7: twenty thirty five emissions reduction target of seventy five percent
- 40:35Speaker 7: to be set by February, in line with Anthony Albanesi's
- 40:39Speaker 7: own timeline, declaring Australia quote must go from being a
- 40:43Speaker 7: laggard to a leader in climate action end quote.
- 40:48Speaker 8: God forbid.
- 40:49Speaker 7: But here we have the Teals and the Greens really
- 40:53Speaker 7: starting to reveal their ridiculous terms for if you guys
- 40:59Speaker 7: get a hung parliament and you guys need a bedfellow
- 41:02Speaker 7: in US, here's our terms of engagement.
- 41:05Speaker 8: What I can't get over is why they're doing it
- 41:08Speaker 8: this early on in the peace.
- 41:10Speaker 7: I would wait until labor is in that jam before
- 41:14Speaker 7: you lay your terms on the table and say, well,
- 41:17Speaker 7: either you're paying it or you're not.
- 41:19Speaker 8: Well, you don't want us to do a deal with you.
- 41:21Speaker 6: Doesn't really matter whether you say it now or then.
- 41:24Speaker 6: Labor may well be in the same position, right If
- 41:26Speaker 6: these are the people they have to negotiate with, these
- 41:29Speaker 6: are the people they have to negotiate with.
- 41:30Speaker 1: And clearly they are so.
- 41:31Speaker 6: Confident that we're going to have a hung parliament that
- 41:34Speaker 6: they're like, well, bugger it, let's just put it out
- 41:36Speaker 6: there now.
- 41:37Speaker 1: Let it swim around for a while. Scare Albanisi a.
- 41:40Speaker 6: Little bit, because what they would hope is that either
- 41:43Speaker 6: they get their way in terms of a hung parliament
- 41:46Speaker 6: or Albanizi is scared into implementing these policies before the election.
- 41:51Speaker 1: Either way, it doesn't really matter to them, right.
- 41:54Speaker 6: But the best possible scenario here maybe is that Albanize
- 41:58Speaker 6: does get the support of the Green of the teals
- 42:00Speaker 6: it is a total disaster three years on from now,
- 42:04Speaker 6: and then you'll have coalition rain for fifteen years after that.
- 42:08Speaker 2: There's another possibility here, and that is like, if it's
- 42:10Speaker 2: a hung parliament, then they will be front page headlines,
- 42:13Speaker 2: right because they'll have the deciding factor. But if there's
- 42:16Speaker 2: not a hung parliament, then they need to make headlines
- 42:18Speaker 2: now while it could be a possibility.
- 42:20Speaker 3: Because otherwise they're completely irrelevant.
- 42:22Speaker 2: So there is that. The scary thing is she's not
- 42:25Speaker 2: just saying seventy five percent missions reduction. She's saying at
- 42:27Speaker 2: least that's the minimum they're asking for, so God help
- 42:31Speaker 2: us if that ever eventuates. Let's go to the front
- 42:33Speaker 2: page of tomorrow's Herald Son Cops and Bludgers reads the
- 42:37Speaker 2: headline controversial Greens MP Gabrielle d Vitry has been slammed
- 42:44Speaker 2: for ditching parliament to join an anti war rally, while
- 42:47Speaker 2: taxpayers fork out up to fifteen million dollars for police
- 42:50Speaker 2: to try to keep the public safe. Now, as of tomorrow,
- 42:54Speaker 2: there's a government sponsored weapons expo taking place in Melbourne,
- 42:58Speaker 2: one eight hundred extra police officers being deployed to keep
- 43:03Speaker 2: the peace, and of course those police officers would normally
- 43:06Speaker 2: be issuing speeding fines or keeping the public safe, but
- 43:10Speaker 2: they're all being as I said, diverted to mark this protest.
- 43:15Speaker 2: And you've got a Greens MP who's being paid to
- 43:18Speaker 2: be in Parliament representing her constituents, but she's taking the
- 43:21Speaker 2: day off just to be a very highly paid protest.
- 43:25Speaker 2: You wouldn't expect anything less from a Green's member though, would.
- 43:27Speaker 7: You No, But this is a grave dereliction of duty.
- 43:30Speaker 7: You are not paid to protest on Parliament's time. You're
- 43:34Speaker 7: paid to be in there representing the people who elected
- 43:37Speaker 7: you to that halloed authoritative.
- 43:39Speaker 8: Place in our nation.
- 43:41Speaker 9: And here she is.
- 43:42Speaker 8: I mean, nobody's.
- 43:43Speaker 7: Surprised, right because it's a Greens MP and they seem
- 43:46Speaker 7: to be able to do whatever radical thing they want
- 43:48Speaker 7: to do, and everyone goes, oh well, it's just the Greens,
- 43:51Speaker 7: but different rules seem to apply to them.
- 43:54Speaker 8: It's expected from these guys.
- 43:56Speaker 1: But it shouldn't be.
- 43:57Speaker 8: And she can make a much more.
- 44:01Speaker 7: She could make headlines if she just made the stand
- 44:04Speaker 7: in Parliament on the floor of the chamber as opposed
- 44:07Speaker 7: to rocking up.
- 44:08Speaker 8: But this is why she did it right. She got
- 44:10Speaker 8: the headline and.
- 44:11Speaker 3: She also mind a protest.
- 44:12Speaker 2: She was suspended from Parliament for two days when Parliament
- 44:16Speaker 2: was interrupted by climate activists and she took a selfie
- 44:18Speaker 2: in parliament with the activists. Refused to apologize in that
- 44:22Speaker 2: two days. Quickly, while we're on the Herald's son, there's
- 44:24Speaker 2: another good story on the front page. Rise of teen crims.
- 44:27Speaker 2: Teen crooks are breaking into teen cooks are breaking into
- 44:31Speaker 2: ten times the number of homes than when Labour came
- 44:34Speaker 2: to power, amid an explosion in youth crime. Ten to
- 44:38Speaker 2: seventeen year old burglars have surged from one hundred and
- 44:42Speaker 2: nineteen cases in twenty fifteen to one thy two hundred
- 44:46Speaker 2: and thirty in the latest financial year, and then offenses
- 44:50Speaker 2: by children aged twelve to fourteen through the roof as well.
- 44:54Speaker 3: Just another day in Melbourne, really.
- 44:55Speaker 1: Indeed up on a thousand percent would you believe it?
- 44:58Speaker 8: Sorry?
- 44:58Speaker 6: On the front of the Daily Telegraph tomorrow shoots a
- 45:01Speaker 6: hole right through this plan to build so many houses.
- 45:04Speaker 6: Massive public infrastructure projects like the Metro, schools and hospitals
- 45:08Speaker 6: will need to go on the back burner if the
- 45:09Speaker 6: government is to meet its ambitious five year housing target.
- 45:13Speaker 6: A Landmark report has found, what a surprise. On current forecasts,
- 45:18Speaker 6: they need to build three hundred and thirtieth three hundred
- 45:21Speaker 6: and seventy seven thousand. Current forecasts are that they'll only
- 45:24Speaker 6: hit one hundred and seventy two thousand.
- 45:26Speaker 1: But isn't this great.
- 45:27Speaker 6: We've got to stop the major infrastructure projects that will
- 45:30Speaker 6: service the people in all of these new.
- 45:31Speaker 1: Houses that we are going to build, so we can
- 45:33Speaker 1: build all of the new houses.
- 45:35Speaker 6: Maybe it proves, after all that we have too many
- 45:38Speaker 6: people in this country at the moment and we can't
- 45:40Speaker 6: keep up with the infrastructure. If only there was a way.
- 45:43Speaker 1: To do something about that. What is it, Oh, you
- 45:47Speaker 1: could turn the migration tap on. What a novel idea? Hey,
- 45:51Speaker 1: so novel?
- 45:53Speaker 2: Well, quickly we'll do the courier mail. Health gains up
- 45:56Speaker 2: in smoke. Decades of work to drive down tobacco. You
- 45:59Speaker 2: some Australia is at risk of going up in smoke
- 46:02Speaker 2: with shocking new research revealing today's generation of child vapors
- 46:06Speaker 2: we're up to twenty nine times more likely to become smokers.
- 46:10Speaker 3: Kayleb, you've got strong opinions on this, giving me.
- 46:13Speaker 6: If they didn't jack the tobacco excise up so much,
- 46:16Speaker 6: there wouldn't be a black market that allows kids to
- 46:18Speaker 6: walk into any shop by a vape.
- 46:20Speaker 1: Government, you've done it yourselves, your dopes.
- 46:22Speaker 2: We're going to go to a break, but stick around
- 46:24Speaker 2: when we come back. The new Queensland government health campaign
- 46:27Speaker 2: encouraging workers to.
- 46:28Speaker 3: Do a poo at the office. Seriously, that's coming up
- 46:32Speaker 3: in a moment.
- 46:36Speaker 2: We all understand that governments wage campaigns to improve public
- 46:40Speaker 2: health than many of you would remember the Life being
- 46:42Speaker 2: a campaign which was brilliant. Well, this one is not
- 46:45Speaker 2: like that one. The Queensland Government have launched a campaign
- 46:48Speaker 2: called and I quote It's okay to pooh at work.
- 46:52Speaker 2: They say in the campaign lots of people find it
- 46:54Speaker 2: difficult to poo in public toilets. We're here to tell
- 46:57Speaker 2: you it's okay to go number two at work. Then
- 46:59Speaker 2: they number of Health problems that result if you don't
- 47:02Speaker 2: exercise your bow regularly. The campaign is said to try
- 47:06Speaker 2: to overcome people's and I quote Pooh paranoia. People apparently
- 47:10Speaker 2: are afraid to go to the toilet at work because
- 47:12Speaker 2: they'll be judged by the sounds and the smells that
- 47:15Speaker 2: they make. Here is the campaign, I just want to be.
- 47:30Speaker 3: Can I just say?
- 47:31Speaker 2: The lyric is I just want to be part of
- 47:33Speaker 2: your symphony? Will you hold on tight and not let
- 47:36Speaker 2: you go? I'm just not sure that really works.
- 47:39Speaker 1: I'll just finish with this.
- 47:41Speaker 2: They actually advertise here's a tip. Remember that everyone poops.
- 47:44Speaker 2: Visualize someone famous on the toilet like Taylor Swift. This
- 47:48Speaker 2: is government advice in Queensland.
- 47:51Speaker 1: Is that where she writes her songs or something? I
- 47:54Speaker 1: don't know.
- 47:55Speaker 6: Look, you know they can't get anyone into a hospital,
- 47:57Speaker 6: but they can tell you to put work do it
- 47:59Speaker 6: on company time. Getting paid to go to the toilet
- 48:01Speaker 6: is my advice. But that's not the only thing people
- 48:03Speaker 6: are holding in The coppers in the UK Mail coppers specifically.
- 48:07Speaker 1: Are struggling with crushed testicles. Would you believe it?
- 48:11Speaker 6: Because they discovered that the uniforms were sexist.
- 48:15Speaker 1: This is from a recent news report.
- 48:17Speaker 6: It says the idea for unisex uniforms follows a study
- 48:20Speaker 6: last year at Lancaster University Law School which found that
- 48:24Speaker 6: police uniforms were designed by and for men's sexist uniforms, so.
- 48:29Speaker 1: They had to be unisex.
- 48:30Speaker 6: But however, speaking about the latest survey, Goodwin told The
- 48:33Speaker 6: Sun during a survey gwint mail police officers complained of
- 48:38Speaker 6: experiencing crushed testicles because presumably they're wearing women's pants.
- 48:44Speaker 1: How good is this?
- 48:46Speaker 6: So you've got to go to the toilet when you're
- 48:48Speaker 6: at work. We haven't worked out that you can do that.
- 48:50Speaker 6: And if you're a copper your testicles are getting crashed.
- 48:53Speaker 6: No wonder people aren't signing up with the police force
- 48:56Speaker 6: any more.
- 48:56Speaker 1: Good heavens.
- 48:57Speaker 2: I genuinely am afraid to look at the news. To me,
- 49:00Speaker 2: who knows what it will bring? That's it from us
- 49:01Speaker 2: stick around. Coming up is the Reader Penning Show.
