- 0:02Speaker 1: Welcome the Late Debates.
- 0:06Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the show.
- 0:08Speaker 3: I'm Free Lee, joined by Holly Hughes and Joe Hildebrand
- 0:11Speaker 3: filling in for Caleb Bond and James McPherson. Here's what's
- 0:14Speaker 3: coming up on the Late Debate tonight, President Trump versus
- 0:18Speaker 3: Elon Musk. The bromance is dead, but the feud is
- 0:22Speaker 3: back with a vengeance, a major win for free speech
- 0:25Speaker 3: in Australia following a court decision against E Safety Commissioner
- 0:30Speaker 3: Julie Inman Grand Plus, the ABC struggles to understand that
- 0:35Speaker 3: many young women want to stay home and be mothers.
- 0:38Speaker 3: But we start the program tonight with Trump and Elon's
- 0:42Speaker 3: broken romance, which are spiraled into yet another all out war.
- 0:48Speaker 3: Just before Trump's signature Big Beautiful Bill was due to
- 0:51Speaker 3: pass the Senate, Musk posted on x that he would
- 0:54Speaker 3: challenge any Republican who voted for the bill in the
- 0:58Speaker 3: next primaries.
- 0:59Speaker 2: Then he the stakes even further, saying.
- 1:02Speaker 3: He would create an entirely new political party called the
- 1:06Speaker 3: America Party to rival the Republicans if the bill passed.
- 1:11Speaker 3: Trump hit back at Mask, threatening to pull billions worth
- 1:15Speaker 3: of contracts and subsidies the Musk's company receives from the
- 1:19Speaker 3: US government.
- 1:21Speaker 4: He's upset, he is that he's losing his evy mandate
- 1:25Speaker 4: and music scept Yeah, he's very upset about things. But
- 1:28Speaker 4: you know he can lose a lot more than that that.
- 1:30Speaker 4: You tell you right, Elon can lose a lot more
- 1:34Speaker 4: than that. We might have to put doze on Elon.
- 1:38Speaker 4: You know, you know doj Dojh's a monster that that
- 1:42Speaker 4: might have to go back and eat Elon.
- 1:45Speaker 2: Now.
- 1:45Speaker 3: I understand Elon is concerned about levels of government spending.
- 1:49Speaker 2: Last year, the US spent more on.
- 1:52Speaker 3: Interest payments than on defense. But Trump does have other
- 1:58Speaker 3: election promises to fulfill, and the bill contains the largest
- 2:01Speaker 3: tank cuts in American history.
- 2:03Speaker 2: It allocates billions.
- 2:05Speaker 3: To finishing the border wall, It's going to hire ten
- 2:08Speaker 3: thousand new ice agents, and fulfill a raft of other
- 2:12Speaker 3: election commitments, all while making one point six trillion dollars
- 2:16Speaker 3: in savings. So when you look at that on the whole,
- 2:19Speaker 3: I mean, is this just another case of another person
- 2:23Speaker 3: contracting Trump arrangement syndrome.
- 2:26Speaker 5: I just always saw this as two alpha males and
- 2:31Speaker 5: it was never going to end. Well, you knew at
- 2:35Speaker 5: some stage in the game one ego was going to
- 2:38Speaker 5: get taken over by the other ego. I think when
- 2:41Speaker 5: it comes to the big beautiful buildo, Elon has got
- 2:45Speaker 5: a significant issue with it in the sense that a
- 2:47Speaker 5: lot of the green subsidies are going to be removed,
- 2:50Speaker 5: a lot of that money that was going to things
- 2:52Speaker 5: like solar evs of obviously which Tesla was a significant
- 2:57Speaker 5: benefactor of, there are going to be great cuts there.
- 3:01Speaker 6: So, you know, I think there's a.
- 3:03Speaker 5: Little bit of posturing, a little bit of chest bumping,
- 3:07Speaker 5: a bit of you know, I'm not going to back
- 3:09Speaker 5: down first. But I think when it's you know, it's
- 3:12Speaker 5: getting to the rhetoric of oh, deport him the new party,
- 3:18Speaker 5: I almost got flashbacks to how we've had some of
- 3:20Speaker 5: those things happen in Australia when billionaires don't get their
- 3:23Speaker 5: way so decide to set up their own party. Doesn't
- 3:25Speaker 5: tend to go very well in the long run. But
- 3:29Speaker 5: you know, when heys, I'm going to set doge on him,
- 3:31Speaker 5: and you know the monster that might on it.
- 3:34Speaker 6: I don't know. I've just got this vision of the
- 3:35Speaker 6: cookie monster coming out with going back, eating all the testlets,
- 3:41Speaker 6: you know, eating.
- 3:42Speaker 5: Up all the bills, that he wants to get rid
- 3:44Speaker 5: of something. I don't know, that's where my mind went.
- 3:47Speaker 7: It is.
- 3:47Speaker 8: The thing is, I mean, every zoo keeper knows, you know,
- 3:50Speaker 8: you don't put two male lines in the same cage,
- 3:53Speaker 8: you don't put two bulls in the same paddock. And again,
- 3:56Speaker 8: it was always always always going to happen. I think
- 3:58Speaker 8: it actually also it sort of exposes the strange And
- 4:02Speaker 8: again I'm not anti Trump. Some of the crazy stuff
- 4:05Speaker 8: he does clearly works, like in Iran. Obviously I'm not
- 4:07Speaker 8: fond of the tariffs, which is other crazy stuff that is.
- 4:10Speaker 1: Crippling the world economy.
- 4:11Speaker 8: But it just goes to show what a strange grab
- 4:14Speaker 8: bag of ideologies the new Republican Party is. And I
- 4:18Speaker 8: think it also exposes a bit of hypocrisy on the right,
- 4:21Speaker 8: where you know, they bang on and on about you know,
- 4:24Speaker 8: the country's not living within its means, and the deficits
- 4:26Speaker 8: too high, and you're wasting all this money on interest payments,
- 4:29Speaker 8: but we still have to have tax cuts no matter what,
- 4:31Speaker 8: and so well, which is it? You know, clearly, you
- 4:34Speaker 8: know money is a zero sum game. Ultimately you have
- 4:37Speaker 8: to make sacrifices. Then you'll say, all right, well, we've
- 4:39Speaker 8: got to cut wasteful spending. You know, we can't have
- 4:42Speaker 8: the government handing out, say, all these subsidies. But who's
- 4:44Speaker 8: the guy in charge of cutting all the wasteful spending
- 4:47Speaker 8: the same guy who's getting the governor subsidies, government subsidies
- 4:50Speaker 8: for his ev business, and suddenly that it doesn't like
- 4:53Speaker 8: that anymore. So I think it's just, you know, I'm
- 4:55Speaker 8: not sure if there's a real sort of strong cohesive
- 4:58Speaker 8: policy narrative in the the Trump Musk administruction.
- 5:01Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 5:02Speaker 5: I think if you look at Trump though, when you
- 5:03Speaker 5: look at what he is investing in, whether it's the
- 5:05Speaker 5: border wall, and what he would sees the ice agents
- 5:08Speaker 5: and working on that illegal immigration front, and what he's
- 5:11Speaker 5: done with regards to the trade around fentanyl and in
- 5:14Speaker 5: the ovoid epidemic, I think, you know, he would look
- 5:17Speaker 5: at some of that that are going to be cost
- 5:19Speaker 5: savings into the HUT as opposed to what the original
- 5:23Speaker 5: cost is going to be.
- 5:24Speaker 3: And the bill does contain and this is where I
- 5:26Speaker 3: don't really understand Musk's argument, because the bill does contain
- 5:31Speaker 3: one point six trillion dollars in savings, and when the
- 5:34Speaker 3: bill was rated by the White House, there are a
- 5:36Speaker 3: few different ways bills are raided or with different measurements,
- 5:39Speaker 3: of course, as economists love to do, but they're also
- 5:42Speaker 3: not taking into account the revenue raised from all the tariffs.
- 5:45Speaker 3: So when you actually look at the full economic picture
- 5:48Speaker 3: of Trump's policies, I mean, it's been a remarkable success
- 5:52Speaker 3: despite what all the economists have been saying about the tariff.
- 5:55Speaker 8: Yeah, except the tariffs are like that kind of like
- 5:57Speaker 8: the Greens plan to just put you know, tax billity aires.
- 6:01Speaker 8: The target doesn't just say if you say, right, I'm
- 6:03Speaker 8: going to point my gun over at you and I'm
- 6:06Speaker 8: going to shoot you in the head, and that means
- 6:08Speaker 8: you're going to be dead. That person isn't going to
- 6:10Speaker 8: just stand there. So if you go after billionaires. I
- 6:14Speaker 8: have no personal experience in shooting people in there. But
- 6:16Speaker 8: the point if you target someone and they know that
- 6:18Speaker 8: you're coming for them, what are they going to do?
- 6:20Speaker 8: They're going to move, They're going to move their money,
- 6:21Speaker 8: They're going to move their money elsewhere.
- 6:23Speaker 1: That's right.
- 6:23Speaker 8: So if you're talking about Trump raising money from tariffs,
- 6:26Speaker 8: or it may just be that other that the country's
- 6:29Speaker 8: just simply stopped trading with the US as much.
- 6:32Speaker 5: But I think he's saying it is reinvigorating. And then
- 6:34Speaker 5: if industry in which of jobs and bringing the.
- 6:36Speaker 8: Work, I think I think once you see the cost
- 6:38Speaker 8: of making a car in America, and I know it
- 6:41Speaker 8: is a big problem compared to making a car in spense, Well.
- 6:43Speaker 3: There are some things that you literally can't make in America,
- 6:46Speaker 3: like smartphones, which they're discovering, but other things there have
- 6:49Speaker 3: been billions and billions and billions of dollars of commitments
- 6:52Speaker 3: from companies bringing manufacturing back to the US. So it'll
- 6:55Speaker 3: be interesting to see how it plays out.
- 6:56Speaker 2: But Trump also.
- 6:57Speaker 3: Took a tour of Florida's newly built Alligator Alcatraz. This
- 7:02Speaker 3: is a camp for illegal migrants surrounded by an alligator
- 7:06Speaker 3: infested swap that should deter a couple runaways.
- 7:10Speaker 2: But while he was there, Trump made this hilarious comment.
- 7:15Speaker 1: No, but this is air conditioned facility.
- 7:17Speaker 8: So if any of the news claims are keeping him
- 7:19Speaker 8: out in the hot hum itself Florida, that is wrong.
- 7:21Speaker 1: It's twelve sixty two.
- 7:22Speaker 4: The three here to be on preserv Hey Biden wanted
- 7:25Speaker 4: me in here.
- 7:26Speaker 1: Okay, he wanted me.
- 7:28Speaker 4: It didn't work out that way, but he wanted me in.
- 7:31Speaker 2: Here, So now we laugh.
- 7:35Speaker 3: But it is true that Trump was targeted in an
- 7:38Speaker 3: unprecedented way. He was the first former president to be
- 7:41Speaker 3: indicted on criminal charges. He had to find four criminal
- 7:45Speaker 3: cases while Biden was president, and he was potentially facing
- 7:49Speaker 3: a life sentence if convicted, and now he's seemingly prevailed
- 7:54Speaker 3: as the ultimate underdog.
- 7:56Speaker 2: It's pretty incredible.
- 7:58Speaker 5: Look that whole tour was just magnificent, and it was
- 8:01Speaker 5: just beautiful. I don't know if you've ever been to Florida,
- 8:03Speaker 5: but I was there twenty one years ago.
- 8:06Speaker 6: And we were in this.
- 8:07Speaker 5: Gated community and there was a lake there and literally
- 8:09Speaker 5: when you walked out, you weren't allowed to go too
- 8:11Speaker 5: far down on the lawn because there were just alligators that.
- 8:15Speaker 6: Will come out.
- 8:15Speaker 5: And it's it's an extraordinary place, and I think it's
- 8:18Speaker 5: incredible when you look at where they've got it. The
- 8:22Speaker 5: costs of actually containing people there are very small because
- 8:26Speaker 5: if anyone escapes, they've got a very limited life span
- 8:30Speaker 5: after that.
- 8:30Speaker 1: It's like Alcatraz.
- 8:31Speaker 8: The original Alcatraz in San Francisco Bay was surrounded by
- 8:34Speaker 8: shark infested waters. Yeah, yeah, but with sharks in it,
- 8:38Speaker 8: that's a scareer. I'll take my chances with the water.
- 8:40Speaker 8: I won't take my chances with the sharks. But did
- 8:42Speaker 8: you know fun fact alligators can't eat adult humans.
- 8:48Speaker 1: They actually can't. Yeah, they can't alligate it.
- 8:51Speaker 6: Do they do with them?
- 8:52Speaker 1: Well, that's good, they don't need them. They can't.
- 8:54Speaker 2: You might be mold to death, but you won't be.
- 8:57Speaker 1: No, you don't get more.
- 8:58Speaker 8: No, they can only eat like things that are about
- 9:00Speaker 8: as big as your kind of fist, like the little
- 9:02Speaker 8: turtles and stuff. So any detayns, go for it. Take
- 9:06Speaker 8: your chances.
- 9:07Speaker 6: The Psons that are all worried, they're many money.
- 9:10Speaker 8: So what you'd be doing, I'd feel just like the
- 9:13Speaker 8: Crocodile's obviously very different story if you're watching this in
- 9:15Speaker 8: the NT.
- 9:16Speaker 2: Very very different.
- 9:18Speaker 3: Well. Meanwhile, former MSNBC host Joy Read compared the Distention
- 9:24Speaker 3: Center to a modern day concentration camp.
- 9:29Speaker 7: I had to forget about him, but Ron DeSantis is
- 9:30Speaker 7: still governor of Florida. He took the Comfy Couch hosts
- 9:34Speaker 7: on a tour of the concentration camp that he's building
- 9:38Speaker 7: in Florida in order to round up people brown people
- 9:43Speaker 7: and throw them in a camp. Because he doesn't want
- 9:45Speaker 7: them in Florida. Surprise, surprise, the economy of Florida is
- 9:50Speaker 7: going to be severely harmed by rounding up brown people.
- 9:54Speaker 3: Concentration camp, rounding up brown people. I mean serious, When
- 10:01Speaker 3: will the Democrats understand that hyperbolic comparisons of Trump to
- 10:05Speaker 3: the Nazis is not only deeply offensive, but it also
- 10:10Speaker 3: weakens their own argument because it's so absurd and obviously untrue.
- 10:16Speaker 6: But also, what is the comfy couch group?
- 10:19Speaker 2: I still don't know get that.
- 10:20Speaker 5: I don't understand what that. I mean, Maybe it's an
- 10:22Speaker 5: American term. I don't know what that means.
- 10:24Speaker 1: Does you mean that he was comfortable while they were
- 10:26Speaker 1: all suffering?
- 10:26Speaker 6: The couch? I don't know. Maybe they've got king furniture.
- 10:30Speaker 6: I don't know.
- 10:31Speaker 5: But you know, it just seems very strange that something
- 10:34Speaker 5: that's air conditioned, a brand new facility, we know what
- 10:38Speaker 5: occurred in concentration camps. To even draw those parallels is
- 10:41Speaker 5: just disgusting and just it is so dismissive and undermining
- 10:47Speaker 5: of what the.
- 10:47Speaker 6: Holocaust actually was. And you know that this is why
- 10:50Speaker 6: the woman.
- 10:51Speaker 3: Was fired, and this is this is for illegal migrants.
- 10:55Speaker 3: The Holocaust was about genociding innocent people, like a fundamental difference.
- 11:02Speaker 8: I mean, clearly she has no understanding of what concentration
- 11:05Speaker 8: camps are or the Holocaust. I mean, the truth is
- 11:08Speaker 8: concentration camps, and what we see is, you know, what
- 11:11Speaker 8: we remember is the death camps. Places like Auschwitz and
- 11:14Speaker 8: boot Wold, and those kinds of places are actually kind
- 11:17Speaker 8: of two different things. Like the first concentration camps were
- 11:20Speaker 8: actually introduced by the British in the Boa War at
- 11:24Speaker 8: the beginning of the twentieth century, and they did terrible things,
- 11:27Speaker 8: but they were they were basically rounding up the farmers,
- 11:30Speaker 8: the bows in South Africa, they were fighting and sticking
- 11:32Speaker 8: them all in a camp in a highly concentrated way.
- 11:36Speaker 1: Hence the term concentration camps.
- 11:38Speaker 8: And so so I don't know what joy Reader is
- 11:41Speaker 8: talking about, but in a sense like at a purely well, yes,
- 11:44Speaker 8: when you take a whole bunch of people and you
- 11:46Speaker 8: round them up and you detain them, almost by definition,
- 11:49Speaker 8: that is a concentration camp because there are lots of
- 11:50Speaker 8: people concentrated there. If she is actually trying to make
- 11:53Speaker 8: some kind of analogous comparison with Nazi death camps, which
- 12:00Speaker 8: I suspect she's probably trying to do as opposed to
- 12:03Speaker 8: just state the older actually follows on with the brain
- 12:05Speaker 8: that is clearly like the brown people and Elon Musk,
- 12:08Speaker 8: so you know it could be both.
- 12:09Speaker 1: He could be in there anytime now.
- 12:11Speaker 8: So that that is just absolutely disgraceful, and I think
- 12:15Speaker 8: fundamentally misunderstands what the Holocaust was and the purpose behind.
- 12:18Speaker 3: Yeah, I find the endless comparisons that Democrats keep trying
- 12:22Speaker 3: to draw with the nazis just repulsive. But look in
- 12:25Speaker 3: better news. While Elon Musk is not beefing with Trump
- 12:28Speaker 3: on X, he's actually delivering some victories for common sense
- 12:33Speaker 3: and free speech. The E Safety Commissioner tried to silence
- 12:36Speaker 3: a Canadian activist, Christopher Elston, for daring to criticize the
- 12:41Speaker 3: appointment of transgender activist Teddy Cook to a World Health
- 12:45Speaker 3: organization panel. Elson pointed out the absurdity that you've got
- 12:50Speaker 3: people who deny biological realities dictating what global health policy
- 12:56Speaker 3: should be. His expost said, this woman is part of
- 13:00Speaker 3: panel of twenty experts hired by the WHO to draft
- 13:03Speaker 3: their policy on caring for trans people. People who belong
- 13:07Speaker 3: in psychiatric wards are writing the guidelines for people who
- 13:10Speaker 3: belong in psychiatric wards. Now, that could be definitely offensive
- 13:15Speaker 3: to some people, but is it the role of an
- 13:18Speaker 3: unelected bureaucrat to censor offensive content? Predictably, Australia's e Nanny
- 13:25Speaker 3: labeled this as harmful and tried to erase it from
- 13:28Speaker 3: the Internet. But thankfully sanity prevailed and free speech lives
- 13:32Speaker 3: on for one more day. The court essentially found that yes,
- 13:36Speaker 3: it might be offensive, but we can't outlaw offensive speech.
- 13:40Speaker 3: And this seems like massive overreach from the Safety Commissioner,
- 13:43Speaker 3: whose job is to I think very reasonably take down
- 13:46Speaker 3: things like child exploitation material, that kind of stuff. But
- 13:50Speaker 3: when it's about political moves and censorship of speech that
- 13:55Speaker 3: crosses a line.
- 13:56Speaker 5: I am so sick of Julie immngrant I just I
- 13:59Speaker 5: don't know even know where to start. And we know
- 14:02Speaker 5: that there was just a US Congressional report that actually
- 14:05Speaker 5: had copies of emails from her that she was trying
- 14:08Speaker 5: to regulate free speech on X working with the Global
- 14:12Speaker 5: Alliance for Responsible Media. Now, in my view, as soon
- 14:15Speaker 5: as an organization has global in its headline, you know
- 14:19Speaker 5: it's not good. It's not for you, it's not for
- 14:21Speaker 5: normal people, it's not for freedom of speech or any
- 14:24Speaker 5: freedom if however, Look, you know, I'm a big fan
- 14:28Speaker 5: of the UN too, not so you know who is
- 14:31Speaker 5: up there on one of my organizations I'm not really
- 14:34Speaker 5: a big fan of. But this is the woman who
- 14:36Speaker 5: wants to ban YouTube as part of the social media band,
- 14:38Speaker 5: who clearly doesn't understand what YouTube is, the education purposes
- 14:42Speaker 5: that it actually has, and the fact that you can
- 14:45Speaker 5: actually find out how to do anything on YouTube and
- 14:47Speaker 5: so many kids use it. You, of course this needs
- 14:50Speaker 5: to be regulation, but I'm so sick of this woman.
- 14:53Speaker 5: She's clearly not in favor of free speech. She's been
- 14:56Speaker 5: given too much power, too much relevance. And you know,
- 15:00Speaker 5: we've learned that these top fat cats in camera are
- 15:02Speaker 5: getting paid sixteen million dollars for seventeen of them. I
- 15:05Speaker 5: don't know what she's getting paid, but it's certainly time.
- 15:08Speaker 5: I think we could look for someone else with a
- 15:10Speaker 5: little more sense than perhaps a lower pay package.
- 15:12Speaker 3: And I think it really does undermine the role of
- 15:15Speaker 3: the office. And I understand why the e Safety Commission
- 15:18Speaker 3: was established. The stuff you see online, particularly around child
- 15:21Speaker 3: exploitation material now were seeing deep fakes made with AI
- 15:25Speaker 3: and this is causing genuine, serious harm to people. But
- 15:30Speaker 3: when bureaucracies overstep their actual manday and going after people's
- 15:36Speaker 3: freedom of speech for simply pointing out that this person
- 15:39Speaker 3: is a biological woman and criticizing their appointment to the
- 15:42Speaker 3: Weld Health Organization. Yes it's offensive, but this undermines the
- 15:47Speaker 3: actual office of the safety Commissioner.
- 15:49Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's coming.
- 15:50Speaker 8: I think the exacty commissioner does do good work, like
- 15:53Speaker 8: you said, targeting things like you know, deep fakes, revenge porn,
- 15:58Speaker 8: and indeed you know people targeting and grooming kids online
- 16:01Speaker 8: as well. And I support the social media ban, although
- 16:03Speaker 8: I don't think it should be extended to YouTube. I
- 16:05Speaker 8: think Julian mcgrant has the best intention thing. Oh if
- 16:09Speaker 8: I could just have a magic wind and wave away
- 16:11Speaker 8: everything that's harmful, no one would ever get harmed ever again,
- 16:13Speaker 8: and everyone would be happy. The problem is once you
- 16:15Speaker 8: have that magic wind.
- 16:17Speaker 6: But she wants to decide.
- 16:19Speaker 1: What's that's right. The problem The problem is that's exactly right.
- 16:21Speaker 8: You're putting all that that's right, so you're not actually
- 16:25Speaker 8: getting rid of hate speech or whatever it is. You're
- 16:27Speaker 8: just making it subjective and you're just giving it leading
- 16:31Speaker 8: up to someone to decide. The problem when you try
- 16:33Speaker 8: to ban people like Billboard Chris as he calls himself,
- 16:37Speaker 8: is that you then have a debate not about whether
- 16:39Speaker 8: what he's saying is right or wrong or correct, but
- 16:43Speaker 8: whether or not it should be banned, or whether or
- 16:45Speaker 8: not he should have the right to say things, and
- 16:47Speaker 8: if they are right or are incorrect. And I would
- 16:49Speaker 8: say and he is wrong about a lot of the
- 16:52Speaker 8: things he said, but this has been lost in an
- 16:55Speaker 8: argument over whether or not you should be allowed to say.
- 16:57Speaker 3: And the Safety Commissioner doesn't just want to regulate speech.
- 16:59Speaker 3: And when Bishop Murray Murray got stabbed, the video was
- 17:03Speaker 3: all over X she tried to get it taken down
- 17:05Speaker 3: all over the world. So it's not just Australian content
- 17:09Speaker 3: she's trying to regulate, it's the entire globe, which is absurd,
- 17:12Speaker 3: but by.
- 17:13Speaker 2: Job, that's job.
- 17:15Speaker 3: But thankfully there is some justice in the world, and
- 17:18Speaker 3: definitely justice for women in the US at last, the
- 17:22Speaker 3: Trump administration is dismantling the so called transinclusive policies that
- 17:28Speaker 3: really did nothing but exclude and disadvantage real women. The
- 17:33Speaker 3: University of Pennsylvania has agreed to revoke the swimming titles
- 17:37Speaker 3: of transgender athlete Leah Thomas. The university will also issue
- 17:41Speaker 3: a formal apology to every biological female who lost out
- 17:47Speaker 3: to a trans competitor.
- 17:50Speaker 2: Now.
- 17:50Speaker 3: The university was forced to do this because the Department
- 17:53Speaker 3: of Education and their Office for Civil Rights found that
- 17:57Speaker 3: the university violated Title nine by denying biological women equal
- 18:03Speaker 3: opportunity to sport. Now, Leah Thomas was someone who was
- 18:06Speaker 3: a biological male. He she started doing hormones in twenty nineteen,
- 18:12Speaker 3: switched from the male swim team to the female swim team,
- 18:17Speaker 3: and then miraculously won.
- 18:19Speaker 2: The national championship.
- 18:22Speaker 3: This is a small step in the right direction, but
- 18:24Speaker 3: it is huge vindication for the biological women who've been
- 18:27Speaker 3: fighting for their rights for years, and to finally have
- 18:31Speaker 3: an apology from the university and some justice, this is amazing.
- 18:35Speaker 6: Look, it's good to say that that's come.
- 18:36Speaker 5: I have no doubt they were dragged their kicking and
- 18:38Speaker 5: screaming in many ways. But I feel for so many
- 18:43Speaker 5: of the women who have actually ran these races, swam
- 18:46Speaker 5: these races, already been involved in these sports and not
- 18:50Speaker 5: had the opportunity to be successful, not have the opportunity
- 18:53Speaker 5: to win. Now, these titles might be removed, you know,
- 18:56Speaker 5: so that their name goes up on the list now now,
- 19:00Speaker 5: but at the time they never got the ability to
- 19:03Speaker 5: enjoy success or experience that win, and that was what
- 19:06Speaker 5: was taken away from these women. I hope universities, sporting clubs,
- 19:10Speaker 5: and anyone else who thinks that this is appropriate, that
- 19:14Speaker 5: biological men should be allowed to compete in sport with
- 19:18Speaker 5: real biological women and just declare their gender, that this isn't.
- 19:22Speaker 6: Going to continue.
- 19:23Speaker 5: Look, I've always felt if people are trans want to
- 19:25Speaker 5: compete in sport, that's why let's have an open division.
- 19:28Speaker 5: Let's have a you know, you can have a separate
- 19:31Speaker 5: division if that's what they need, where these people can
- 19:34Speaker 5: go and compete, not necessarily putting them up against biological women.
- 19:38Speaker 5: But I do feel for the women who lost out
- 19:40Speaker 5: on the opportunity of having a win and being successful.
- 19:43Speaker 3: Well, there have actually been attempts by some sporting codes
- 19:46Speaker 3: to have a transgender division, but there was very little
- 19:49Speaker 3: interest naturally because you're catering to such a tiny portion
- 19:53Speaker 3: of the population. So Joe, in Australia, we really don't
- 19:58Speaker 3: have any protections for women's sports, and you're starting to
- 20:01Speaker 3: hear of some cases where you do have trans athletes
- 20:04Speaker 3: beating biological females. Is it time we look at better
- 20:08Speaker 3: protecting women's sport here?
- 20:10Speaker 8: Yeah, I feel really I actually feel really sorry for
- 20:14Speaker 8: the majority of trans people because I think they've been
- 20:16Speaker 8: sort of swept up.
- 20:17Speaker 1: I think there are those who.
- 20:18Speaker 8: Have absolute, genuine gender dysphoria, who completely feel like they
- 20:22Speaker 8: were born in the wrong body and has been hell
- 20:24Speaker 8: for them for years and years and years, and you know,
- 20:27Speaker 8: finally there's there's an element of recognition and there's an
- 20:29Speaker 8: element of medical expertise that can intervene and you know,
- 20:34Speaker 8: deliver them from a life of just horror and pain
- 20:38Speaker 8: and possibly even suicide that we can't even imagine. And
- 20:42Speaker 8: yet their cause, I think has been taken up with
- 20:45Speaker 8: such kind of militant activism that it's actually been counterproductive
- 20:49Speaker 8: for them.
- 20:50Speaker 1: And I think the case.
- 20:51Speaker 8: Of trans women in sport is just a really really
- 20:56Speaker 8: good one. The idea that you could have someone who
- 20:59Speaker 8: was old athlete or a relatively unsuccessful athlete in one
- 21:04Speaker 8: sex and because sex and gender are two different things,
- 21:06Speaker 8: but and then and then transitions and becomes another one
- 21:10Speaker 8: and it is suddenly very successful it doesn't.
- 21:12Speaker 1: You don't have to be.
- 21:13Speaker 8: A cold hearted you know, Sherlock Holmes and logician to
- 21:17Speaker 8: think that something may be a bit suss about that. Yeah,
- 21:21Speaker 8: that's right, clearly that is and so and again you
- 21:25Speaker 8: could say, and then you have people say no, no,
- 21:27Speaker 8: you have to accept this.
- 21:28Speaker 1: You have to accept all of this.
- 21:29Speaker 8: You have to accept it without question, otherwise you're transphobing.
- 21:32Speaker 8: And I just think, and then people are going to
- 21:34Speaker 8: get their back.
- 21:34Speaker 6: Left wing activists being extremist.
- 21:37Speaker 1: That's right, And that's that's the whole problem. Which that's right.
- 21:41Speaker 8: It's the same with all this moronic you know, academic
- 21:44Speaker 8: stuff where these people just sit around for palace knitting
- 21:47Speaker 8: circles and African drumming circles and just sort of whiddle
- 21:50Speaker 8: away theoretical sociological theory until they come up with seventy
- 21:54Speaker 8: two genders. All right, you have to accept that there
- 21:57Speaker 8: are seventy two genders. Otherwise you're transphobing or you're And
- 22:00Speaker 8: again people are just going to say, well, in that case,
- 22:02Speaker 8: if you I'm not taking any of it, and that
- 22:05Speaker 8: cuts out you know, the vast number of the people
- 22:08Speaker 8: who are absolutely you know, and the same with the
- 22:11Speaker 8: elements of contagion where people just to decide they're you know,
- 22:13Speaker 8: transfluid or whatever it is, and then decide, actually, no,
- 22:16Speaker 8: I'm not after all, because I want to settle down
- 22:17Speaker 8: half kids.
- 22:18Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, well it does seem like we're kind of
- 22:20Speaker 3: moving back to a common sense position where reality and
- 22:23Speaker 3: biological reality prevails. But there also seems to be a
- 22:26Speaker 3: bit of an anti woke theme tonight.
- 22:29Speaker 2: And you know, if you go woke, you go broke.
- 22:32Speaker 3: Last year, Jaguars set the record for the worst rebrand
- 22:36Speaker 3: in history, and now their sales have collapsed by ninety
- 22:41Speaker 3: eight percent in Europe. Watch this ad and I'm sure
- 22:45Speaker 3: you'll agree with us that this is the worst rebrand ever.
- 23:05Speaker 3: You're ticking every woke bucks here. You've got the androgynous,
- 23:09Speaker 3: weird things on like some foreign planets. I mean, do
- 23:14Speaker 3: they even sell cars from this?
- 23:16Speaker 2: And you wouldn't know, You wouldn't, actually would not.
- 23:21Speaker 5: Well, you know, they're not selling cars because apparently the
- 23:24Speaker 5: cars that this was all designed, this advertising campaign is
- 23:27Speaker 5: designed for, are so far behind production they're actually not
- 23:31Speaker 5: even there for them to sell because they've gone completely
- 23:34Speaker 5: to ev models. Now, you know, I've always thought jag
- 23:38Speaker 5: was a little bit a lovely. They were beautiful cars,
- 23:42Speaker 5: but a little bit daggy. They would never sort of
- 23:44Speaker 5: really it was kind of a jag. I just don't
- 23:48Speaker 5: think Jags ever really going to be seen as the
- 23:50Speaker 5: cutting edge cool car. But now they're pink and avs
- 23:54Speaker 5: and there's blokes in orange frock selling it.
- 23:56Speaker 3: Yeah, but Jags were always the classic up a class
- 24:00Speaker 3: sort of British iconic.
- 24:02Speaker 2: Can'tablishment establishment can't.
- 24:05Speaker 3: And it's like, I mean, whoever did this marketing needs
- 24:07Speaker 3: to be fired asap because clearly they don't know who
- 24:11Speaker 3: their customer base is. It's not young ev driving lefties
- 24:15Speaker 3: that are buying Jaguars, believe me, that's right.
- 24:18Speaker 1: I think I remember that. I remember the ad first
- 24:21Speaker 1: came out.
- 24:21Speaker 8: And the people that Jagon people who are commissioned the
- 24:23Speaker 8: ad and everything, and the people who did like, oh no,
- 24:26Speaker 8: we're actually really happy with it. Just watch this space,
- 24:29Speaker 8: you know. This is part of this old sort of
- 24:30Speaker 8: end of the air. We watch the space, and the
- 24:32Speaker 8: space is now very very efty, ninety eight percent less
- 24:35Speaker 8: than it was. But but again it's just that same
- 24:39Speaker 8: thing of I don't want to sound like old funny Daddy,
- 24:42Speaker 8: but it is that same thing instead of just saying, listen,
- 24:44Speaker 8: this is my story, and I know I'm unusual, but
- 24:49Speaker 8: getting people to actually understand trans issues or androgyness is
- 24:53Speaker 8: or whatever, you know, people who want to wear strange
- 24:55Speaker 8: late ex triangles whatever.
- 24:57Speaker 1: But instead of say.
- 24:58Speaker 8: This is the future, this is what everyone is now
- 25:01Speaker 8: and if you're not on board, then you know you're
- 25:04Speaker 8: you know, old dinosaur grandpa and actually most of us
- 25:07Speaker 8: are kind of quite happy to be dinosaurs.
- 25:10Speaker 6: Don't want to, you know, we don't want to dress
- 25:11Speaker 6: like the Jetsits no.
- 25:13Speaker 3: And it's also just not a nice ad. It's not
- 25:17Speaker 3: aesthetically pleasing, it's.
- 25:18Speaker 1: A great looking.
- 25:20Speaker 3: It's like some futuristic aliens pr It's terrible. But in
- 25:25Speaker 3: other news, back here in Australia, the ABC has finally
- 25:29Speaker 3: discovered that many women want.
- 25:31Speaker 2: To be wait for it, mothers.
- 25:35Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 25:35Speaker 3: They published a one thousand, two hundred word article which
- 25:39Speaker 3: is an in depth examination one of the biggest online
- 25:43Speaker 3: trends among Gen Z and millennial women being traad wives,
- 25:48Speaker 3: which in other terms just means being a mum.
- 25:53Speaker 7: Here's everything my one year old eats in a day.
- 25:56Speaker 1: No, every day looks the same and she eats whatever
- 25:58Speaker 1: we're eating.
- 25:59Speaker 2: I don't make it extra meals here in my kitchen,
- 26:02Speaker 2: and I am about to make some homemade Cinnamono's crunchy cereal.
- 26:05Speaker 2: I go, Chloe, you're too old to be stucking your thumb.
- 26:07Speaker 2: She goes, I'm not old through an old lady.
- 26:12Speaker 8: Technically, they are like AMR trad wife influencers married to
- 26:16Speaker 8: millionaires who'll spend all their time like they're the Megan
- 26:19Speaker 8: Markel tradwise, except they vote Republican.
- 26:21Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 26:21Speaker 3: Well, there are many different forms of the tradwife movement takes,
- 26:25Speaker 3: but essentially it's mums who, instead of wanting to embrace
- 26:29Speaker 3: the corporate girl boss narrative that the feminist left has
- 26:33Speaker 3: pushed for the last fifty years, they're kind of going, actually,
- 26:36Speaker 3: I want to embrace traditional gender roles now. The article
- 26:39Speaker 3: that the ABC published grapples with whether this is a
- 26:42Speaker 3: sign of a far right takeover women wanting to stay
- 26:46Speaker 3: home and be traditional, But the article also makes this
- 26:49Speaker 3: breakthrough revelation, which is that it's not just political conservatives
- 26:53Speaker 3: embracing traditional gender roles, even some same second couples. There
- 26:58Speaker 3: are women in same sex relationships who also want to
- 27:02Speaker 3: stay home with their children rather than sending them to
- 27:05Speaker 3: childcare and rushing back to work.
- 27:09Speaker 2: I find this so funny.
- 27:10Speaker 3: Jokes like the ABC has just discovered that women in
- 27:13Speaker 3: the twenty first century can actually want to look after
- 27:17Speaker 3: their own children.
- 27:18Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, and again, this is the thing.
- 27:20Speaker 8: So you've got those sort of weird performative trabbed wives
- 27:23Speaker 8: for whom you know, being the aulternate housewive and having
- 27:25Speaker 8: a thing as long as it's all captured on Instagram,
- 27:28Speaker 8: that's the only legit, and that they're bullocks, that's a showbiz.
- 27:31Speaker 8: But of course, like any normal person is going to
- 27:34Speaker 8: want to spend as much time with their kids as possible,
- 27:38Speaker 8: and any normal person who is also going to very
- 27:40Speaker 8: soon want to spend there's little time with their kids
- 27:42Speaker 8: as possible, wor that's when you want to go back
- 27:44Speaker 8: to work.
- 27:46Speaker 6: Little you would have been done with them.
- 27:47Speaker 5: But then when they hit teenagers, you're like, okay, that's it,
- 27:50Speaker 5: that's right.
- 27:50Speaker 8: And also, and again this is just something a lot
- 27:53Speaker 8: of people don't like here about all the evidence says
- 27:56Speaker 8: that when kids are really really little, having that one
- 27:59Speaker 8: on one time with them is really really important for
- 28:03Speaker 8: their development. It's not the be all and end all
- 28:05Speaker 8: and some people simply do not have the choice. Some
- 28:07Speaker 8: people have to go back to work, so we need
- 28:09Speaker 8: have good child care for them, and they're great professionals
- 28:11Speaker 8: who can do that. But again there's you know, I
- 28:13Speaker 8: think there are certain kind of you know, instincts that
- 28:16Speaker 8: we have as a species, and rearing our young is
- 28:20Speaker 8: one of them, because otherwise we wouldn't be alive as
- 28:23Speaker 8: a species. It's kind of like hardwide into us keeping mind.
- 28:26Speaker 5: I'm just very disappointed that when my children were younger
- 28:29Speaker 5: that I didn't think, oh, you filming myself. I was
- 28:34Speaker 5: home for years with my kids. We were in the
- 28:36Speaker 5: country for a period of time. We were on a
- 28:39Speaker 5: farm a long way out of town. We were one
- 28:41Speaker 5: hundred and sixty k round trip to the supermarket, so
- 28:44Speaker 5: you know, I did a lot. I'm going to admit
- 28:48Speaker 5: I made the tomato sauce that my kids had from scratch.
- 28:52Speaker 5: I was an early adopter air fryers because I would
- 28:55Speaker 5: make it.
- 28:56Speaker 1: Bake your own bread during COVID.
- 28:57Speaker 5: As well, Honey, I made my own bread when my
- 29:00Speaker 5: kids were little, because, as I said, one hundred and
- 29:02Speaker 5: sixty k round trip to the supermarket, you learned to
- 29:06Speaker 5: make bread. But when my kids have birthday parties, I
- 29:10Speaker 5: would make the pastry to make the party piles and
- 29:13Speaker 5: the sausage. You were a certain you do though, when
- 29:17Speaker 5: you're a mum and look we all got you go.
- 29:20Speaker 8: A big I think that's you don't make your own pastry?
- 29:24Speaker 1: All right, okay, whatever?
- 29:25Speaker 5: Well, but can I tell you I'm also an early
- 29:27Speaker 5: adopter to the thermomix, and I can tell you if
- 29:30Speaker 5: this doesn't work out and I'm still looking for a job,
- 29:32Speaker 5: I will be ending up with a career as a
- 29:35Speaker 5: Thermomix blogger because I am a magician.
- 29:38Speaker 6: I've mastered burnet, sauce, my Mayo.
- 29:40Speaker 1: Is isn't the Thermo mix a bit passe?
- 29:43Speaker 6: Now?
- 29:43Speaker 1: Isn't it all about the air fryer?
- 29:44Speaker 6: Yeah, I've got boat.
- 29:46Speaker 5: No no, no, I've got my mother flex mate.
- 29:48Speaker 1: I got both.
- 29:49Speaker 5: If I have already in my kitchen, i'd also have
- 29:51Speaker 5: my kitchen aida. But wow, I was I'm starting to
- 29:55Speaker 5: feel out there leading the charge, just not doing it
- 29:58Speaker 5: on Instagram.
- 29:59Speaker 6: But good on, so good on these women.
- 30:02Speaker 5: When your kids are little, it is beautiful to be
- 30:04Speaker 5: able to have the time to make their food from scratch.
- 30:07Speaker 6: My kids were fed in cubes. We used to have
- 30:09Speaker 6: these ice.
- 30:10Speaker 5: Cube trays that I know freeze, but they have like
- 30:13Speaker 5: three cubes of the sweet corn and Rizoni past two
- 30:17Speaker 5: cubes with some yogat of the puraid apple or pair.
- 30:20Speaker 1: Like.
- 30:20Speaker 6: Seriously, I really did need to go back.
- 30:22Speaker 5: To work, but you know it was beautiful and I
- 30:25Speaker 5: love those years that I have with my kids. And
- 30:26Speaker 5: good on these girls, and a lot of them are
- 30:28Speaker 5: making a dime out of it, so we'll be able
- 30:30Speaker 5: to stay at home longer and pay for college.
- 30:32Speaker 6: So good on them.
- 30:32Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. And the studies also do suggest that young
- 30:36Speaker 3: married women, especially with children, are more likely to be
- 30:39Speaker 3: happy and satisfied with their lives. So they're onto something
- 30:42Speaker 3: and even the lefties are starting to catch on. Also
- 30:45Speaker 3: here in Australia, Cricket Australia will not be playing a
- 30:49Speaker 3: game on Australia Day for the second year in a row.
- 30:54Speaker 3: Now they deny that this is technically an Australia Day boycott.
- 30:58Speaker 3: Instead they're trying to blame it on TV broadcasters who've
- 31:01Speaker 3: said it wouldn't rate as well if they played on
- 31:03Speaker 3: the Monday.
- 31:05Speaker 2: Sounds like a bit of a comedian excuse to me.
- 31:07Speaker 3: And the Daily Telegraph, who published this article, posted a
- 31:11Speaker 3: poll online and asked its readership whether crickets should be
- 31:15Speaker 3: played on Australia Day. Unsurprisingly, ninety seven percent of people
- 31:21Speaker 3: said it should be played. Joe, I get the whole debate.
- 31:25Speaker 3: Every single year the same Australia Day debate comes up,
- 31:29Speaker 3: but I don't want to rehash it again.
- 31:31Speaker 1: Why why Star.
- 31:33Speaker 2: We are yaing early?
- 31:35Speaker 3: But what is frustrating is I think it's pretty clear,
- 31:38Speaker 3: especially after the Voice, there is general consensus in the
- 31:42Speaker 3: community that you can be respectful, you can value our
- 31:47Speaker 3: indigenous history, but we don't have to consign ourselves to
- 31:51Speaker 3: perpetual self loathing and be scared to celebrate our national Day.
- 31:58Speaker 8: Yeah, of course, I think the official slogan for Australia
- 32:00Speaker 8: Day is respect, Reflect, celebrate or something like that, so
- 32:03Speaker 8: that actually the first thing it says is that you
- 32:05Speaker 8: do have to reflect on the past before you can
- 32:08Speaker 8: celebrate who we are now and hopefully a bright future.
- 32:11Speaker 1: This stuff really.
- 32:12Speaker 8: Really annoys me because firstly, it's sort of cree to
- 32:17Speaker 8: Australia just trying to have it both ways, like they're
- 32:20Speaker 8: just trying to We just don't want to have anything.
- 32:21Speaker 8: We just don't want to touch it. We don't know
- 32:23Speaker 8: what we think. We'll have to wait till the focus
- 32:24Speaker 8: groups come back, because we don't know what our principles are.
- 32:27Speaker 8: And if you don't like those, we've got others. So
- 32:29Speaker 8: this is the second year that they've done it. As
- 32:32Speaker 8: Lady Bracknell said the importance of being ernest. When she
- 32:34Speaker 8: met Jack Worthing the orphan, she said, my dear to
- 32:37Speaker 8: lose one parent as a misfortune. To lose two looks
- 32:40Speaker 8: like carelessness, and to skip one Australia Day as a misfortune.
- 32:44Speaker 8: To miss two looks a bit like carelessness, or it
- 32:46Speaker 8: looks a little bit sus But more importantly, so at
- 32:51Speaker 8: least have a position, like at least have the guts
- 32:53Speaker 8: to have a position and say right, we're not doing
- 32:55Speaker 8: this because this is how we feel. But even then,
- 32:58Speaker 8: how does that stack up? I mean, I think with
- 32:59Speaker 8: all of these things, welcomes to country. Acknowledgements of country,
- 33:03Speaker 8: you know, jumping up and down about Australia Day, and
- 33:06Speaker 8: even you know, defining words.
- 33:08Speaker 1: As we saw earlier in the days, such as you know,
- 33:10Speaker 1: was a genocide or not genocide? A genotider?
- 33:13Speaker 8: Everything I think to do with indigenous Australia should simply
- 33:15Speaker 8: be seen through the prism of will this benefit Indigenous Australians.
- 33:20Speaker 1: How does this make their lives better? How does it
- 33:22Speaker 1: close the gap? There's still a huge gap. They died
- 33:24Speaker 1: ten years earlier than the rest.
- 33:26Speaker 8: Every single that's right, every single every single step you
- 33:31Speaker 8: take or move you make that does. Anything that doesn't
- 33:35Speaker 8: address that is wasted.
- 33:37Speaker 5: I really really said I'll be watching you. I just
- 33:41Speaker 5: I had an idea. What you were talking, Joe remarkable.
- 33:44Speaker 1: I should talk more often.
- 33:46Speaker 6: No, let's not do that.
- 33:48Speaker 5: But what I was thinking, you know, backyard cricket. It's
- 33:51Speaker 5: part of the Australian identity. If Australian cricketers don't want
- 33:55Speaker 5: to play, open up the scg let people bring in
- 33:57Speaker 5: their little portable barbecues. They can have a little idea
- 34:00Speaker 5: on the Sydney Cricket ground and then they can go
- 34:03Speaker 5: off and have their own little family backyard cricket game
- 34:07Speaker 5: on the sere Australia and want it. Cricket Australia should
- 34:10Speaker 5: open the field up so all those Aussies that actually
- 34:13Speaker 5: do celebrate Australia and Australian way of life can go
- 34:16Speaker 5: whack a ball on the sc J.
- 34:19Speaker 2: Great great advice from Holly there.
- 34:21Speaker 3: I want to get your thoughts on this topic just
- 34:23Speaker 3: before we go quickly, some members of the New South
- 34:26Speaker 3: Wales Liberal Party a pushing the party to fund a
- 34:29Speaker 3: court challenge to overturn the election result in the seat
- 34:32Speaker 3: of Bradfield. Now Liberal Canada Giselle Captarian lost the seat to.
- 34:36Speaker 2: A Teal by just twenty six votes.
- 34:39Speaker 3: This is excruciating. The Liberals initially won the seat by
- 34:44Speaker 3: eight votes, only to have a full recount which saw
- 34:47Speaker 3: them lose it. Now keep in mind this electorate has
- 34:49Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty six thousand people in it and
- 34:53Speaker 3: it was determined by just twenty six votes. So if
- 34:56Speaker 3: you ever think your vote doesn't matter, think again, it
- 34:59Speaker 3: honestly does. I can understand the frustration of missing out
- 35:03Speaker 3: by such a tiny amount, but seriously, a court challenge
- 35:06Speaker 3: is saying it might cost as much as two hundred
- 35:09Speaker 3: and fifty thousand dollars And do we really think the
- 35:11Speaker 3: Liberals are going to do much better now than they
- 35:13Speaker 3: did at the election.
- 35:14Speaker 6: They're going to do worse.
- 35:15Speaker 5: And absolutely they would do worse because they would have
- 35:17Speaker 5: all of the Teal movement and all of that money
- 35:19Speaker 5: come together behind them. We've you know, the Liberal Parties
- 35:23Speaker 5: just experienced the biggest defeat probably ever at a federal level,
- 35:26Speaker 5: and they're not going to have the funds coming in
- 35:29Speaker 5: and they're not going to have the resources to fund
- 35:31Speaker 5: a proper campaign. I think, personally having seen the decimation
- 35:36Speaker 5: of the Liberal Party membership, but also the way the
- 35:38Speaker 5: membership behaves, the fact that it's the Liberal Party members
- 35:41Speaker 5: that are requesting this to happen demonstrates why as the
- 35:44Speaker 5: party reform happens, if they're ever serious about winning an
- 35:47Speaker 5: election again, they probably need to move away from that
- 35:51Speaker 5: complete membership control and command style because you need to
- 35:54Speaker 5: reflect the environment and the electorate you want to represent,
- 35:59Speaker 5: and those just don't reflect them anymore. The Liberal Party
- 36:02Speaker 5: should not spend the money. It would be an absolutely
- 36:05Speaker 5: humiliating defeat for them. They should and that's what the
- 36:08Speaker 5: membership doesn't understand that hopefully those in the administration committee
- 36:11Speaker 5: making a decision will absolutely do it.
- 36:13Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know if it's as much the
- 36:15Speaker 3: membership doesn't reflect the community, because I get people have
- 36:18Speaker 3: spent hours, like if you see the volunteers that run
- 36:22Speaker 3: the Liberal Party or any political party for that matter.
- 36:24Speaker 3: They're truly incredible, literally thousands of volunteer hours spent standing
- 36:29Speaker 3: on polling booththanding and not denying the worst they do.
- 36:31Speaker 6: But I feel bad numbers. You've got twenty six and
- 36:35Speaker 6: you've probably.
- 36:36Speaker 8: Got as like hundred members being shot six times in
- 36:39Speaker 8: the chests and stubbing your time in fact, yeah, and
- 36:42Speaker 8: ask and then say can you can you get me
- 36:43Speaker 8: a band aid?
- 36:44Speaker 1: I stub my high Yeah, there's a much bigger problem
- 36:46Speaker 1: I needed to do.
- 36:47Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see how that works out for them well.
- 36:48Speaker 2: Coming up in the.
- 36:49Speaker 3: Papers after the break, the breakthrough that helped police catch
- 36:53Speaker 3: accused child as center of sex offender Joshua Brown, who's
- 36:57Speaker 3: been charged with over seventy offenses, will bring that story.
- 37:00Speaker 2: To you right after the break. Welcome back.
- 37:09Speaker 3: We're giving you tomorrow's papers today, starting with The Herald Son.
- 37:13Speaker 3: The headline reads how cops captured alleged monster. The investigation
- 37:18Speaker 3: of a teenager's rape at Coburg led police to accuse
- 37:22Speaker 3: childcare center sex offender Joshua Brown. The Herald's Son can
- 37:26Speaker 3: reveal the crucial breakthrough that resulted in the charging of
- 37:29Speaker 3: mister Brown was unearthed in a sexual crime Squad inquiry
- 37:33Speaker 3: into his associate Michael Simon Wilson. Mister Wilson, thirty six
- 37:38Speaker 3: of Hopper's Crossing, is on remand over charges that he
- 37:41Speaker 3: raped the teenage boy. On April sixteen. He'll appear in
- 37:44Speaker 3: Melbourne Magistrates' Court. So this is I mean crucial. We've
- 37:47Speaker 3: seen this horrendous case where it's where, yeah, the horrendous
- 37:54Speaker 3: alleged events that have occurred that we'll be able to
- 37:57Speaker 3: talk about later, but it is genuinely terrible.
- 37:59Speaker 2: Holly yeah.
- 38:00Speaker 5: Coming up in The Australian tomorrow, we've got the bn
- 38:03Speaker 5: ARI bombshell with Creative License on show as burke Back's
- 38:07Speaker 5: terror image artist. Federal Arts Minister Tony Burke has thrown
- 38:12Speaker 5: his full support behind Creative Australia's extraordinary decision to reinstate
- 38:18Speaker 5: dumped artist Carloored Subsavi's appointment to the twenty twenty six
- 38:21Speaker 5: Venice BNALI, saying the Lebanese Australians work depicting a dead
- 38:26Speaker 5: Hesbala leader does the exact opposite of promoting terrorism. Creative
- 38:33Speaker 5: Australia's abrupt cancelation of Subsavi's Venice appointment in February caused
- 38:37Speaker 5: fury in the arts world and snowballed into the biggest
- 38:41Speaker 5: public relations crisis in the federal funding body's history. While
- 38:45Speaker 5: confirming on Wednesday it had reinstated Subsavi and his curator
- 38:49Speaker 5: Michael Dagastino to the world's most prestigious visual art showcase
- 38:53Speaker 5: following an independent review, the Arts Body apologized to the
- 38:57Speaker 5: pair for its decision that had laighed heavily on many people.
- 39:02Speaker 5: It's amazing how art changed its meeting. He had an
- 39:06Speaker 5: actual consequence for saying thank you to nine to eleven.
- 39:10Speaker 8: Turns out he doesn't have It doesn't creative. Australia doesn't
- 39:13Speaker 8: know much about art, but I know what they don't like.
- 39:16Speaker 8: So the story behind this is that, so there were
- 39:18Speaker 8: two really contentious ones. One was the dead hesbela leader
- 39:21Speaker 8: sort of bathed in a light that made him kind
- 39:23Speaker 8: of look according to some saintly.
- 39:26Speaker 1: The other one was George W.
- 39:27Speaker 8: Bush saying thank you after the September eleventh terror attacks.
- 39:32Speaker 8: Now for the latter one, that was the one that
- 39:34Speaker 8: kind of got him over the line. That was something
- 39:35Speaker 8: on his website had then been displayed. But there was
- 39:39Speaker 8: an interpretation I believe that that in fact the meeting
- 39:44Speaker 8: of the artwork was that that al Qaider had played
- 39:47Speaker 8: into George W.
- 39:48Speaker 1: Bush's hands.
- 39:49Speaker 8: So al Qaider, those idiots had given George Bush and
- 39:52Speaker 8: the Republicans exactly what they wanted, which.
- 39:54Speaker 6: Was a pretense funny. It took them four or five
- 39:56Speaker 6: hours to come up with that argument.
- 39:58Speaker 3: Very funny, I think this was perhaps anyway, so I
- 40:02Speaker 3: should just also add that on the front page of
- 40:04Speaker 3: the Herald Sun tomorrow on the theme of anti Semitism,
- 40:09Speaker 3: allegedly is Kanye West who has been banned from Australia.
- 40:13Speaker 3: No Kanye Do West band from Australia, rapper Bud from
- 40:18Speaker 3: heading down Under with Melbourne wife after Hitler song outrage
- 40:22Speaker 3: so clearly.
- 40:24Speaker 5: And yet we let another potential interpretation of.
- 40:33Speaker 6: Love that consistency of your mates.
- 40:38Speaker 8: Meanwhile, in speaking of consistency and speaking my beloved mates
- 40:41Speaker 8: in the New South Wales Right of the Great Australian
- 40:44Speaker 8: Labor Party, Premier Chris Means will close a sickening loophole
- 40:48Speaker 8: that allows sex offenders and criminals to appeal working with
- 40:51Speaker 8: children checks, saying the scheme must.
- 40:54Speaker 1: Be a quote one strike policy.
- 40:57Speaker 8: The Premier committed to tougher new laws tougher new law
- 41:00Speaker 8: was after The Daily Telegraph exclusively revealed that more than
- 41:02Speaker 8: two dozen people charged, convicted or alleged to have been
- 41:06Speaker 8: involved in serious crimes, including child sex offenses, had obtained
- 41:09Speaker 8: a working with Children check through successful appeals the New
- 41:13Speaker 8: South Wales Civil and Administrative Tribune. And now you will
- 41:17Speaker 8: recall when we did the original revelation that the Telly
- 41:19Speaker 8: splashed on last night that I sorry to give away
- 41:22Speaker 8: any trade secrets, said that I very much suspect that
- 41:28Speaker 8: this is something that was quietly let slip by the
- 41:32Speaker 8: government just so they could then get the attention on
- 41:36Speaker 8: it and then close that loophole, which is absolutely the
- 41:39Speaker 8: right thing to do. It is absolutely what they've done
- 41:40Speaker 8: and done. Absolutely good on them for doing it. They're
- 41:44Speaker 8: saying this is outrageous. They're being stymied by the Administrative
- 41:48Speaker 8: Tribunal and they say, right, let's leave it to the
- 41:50Speaker 8: public to the side.
- 41:51Speaker 1: The Telegraph comes.
- 41:52Speaker 8: In flying the flag and then society gets rebuilt into
- 41:56Speaker 8: a stronger, faster, higher, happier place.
- 41:59Speaker 1: God, it makes me thank you for.
- 42:00Speaker 6: They're just the government and can do the laws.
- 42:02Speaker 3: Yeah, well, thanksgiving us that inside scoop Joe shame I
- 42:06Speaker 3: got to that though. In the Canberra Times, the headline
- 42:09Speaker 3: is a phone ban considered.
- 42:11Speaker 2: The bar government is weighing a ban on.
- 42:12Speaker 3: Personal mobile devices in childcare centers after a shocking case
- 42:16Speaker 3: of alleged child sexual offenses in Melbourne, as federal, state
- 42:20Speaker 3: and territory attorney generals prepared to discuss the patchy system
- 42:24Speaker 3: of criminal checks.
- 42:25Speaker 2: Now, I've also just read.
- 42:26Speaker 3: That Victoria is bringing in a similar phone ban for
- 42:30Speaker 3: childcare workers. I mean, when you see that case, it
- 42:33Speaker 3: is horrific, But I mean, is this really the right move?
- 42:38Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 42:38Speaker 6: I'm sorry, though.
- 42:39Speaker 5: This whole headline is just so Canbra phone ban considering, considering.
- 42:46Speaker 5: We're going to think about it. We're not devisive, we're
- 42:49Speaker 5: not going to take any action.
- 42:50Speaker 6: We'll consider it.
- 42:51Speaker 5: And once we've put together a committee to then put
- 42:55Speaker 5: together another committee of eighteen bureaucrats to report to thirty
- 42:58Speaker 5: six bureaucrats to come back then to another committee of
- 43:01Speaker 5: six bureaucrats to then end up with the Secretary, they'll
- 43:04Speaker 5: have considered it, and then in about six years time
- 43:07Speaker 5: there may be some implementation.
- 43:09Speaker 6: So look, Joe, I will give credit where credits due.
- 43:12Speaker 5: Chris Mins has had a strategic media leap, but saying
- 43:15Speaker 5: that they're going to take some direct action yet again,
- 43:17Speaker 5: though Canberra, the bureaucratit capital of the world, is going
- 43:21Speaker 5: to consider it exactly.
- 43:22Speaker 2: Well, Holly, what's happening in the Advertiser tomorrow?
- 43:25Speaker 5: So this is extraordinary. It's a cracker of a cover
- 43:28Speaker 5: though it's a takeoff. Well it's the naked gun. It's
- 43:31Speaker 5: so good, isn't it. But we've had an incidence in
- 43:36Speaker 5: South Australia where the state's top cop has sensationally revealed
- 43:40Speaker 5: that he's under investigation for accidentally firing his gun during
- 43:44Speaker 5: a drug raid, days after South Australia police invoked gag
- 43:49Speaker 5: laws that had actually kept his identity secret. The Sunday
- 43:52Speaker 5: Mail reported as senior officer had fired his weapon but
- 43:56Speaker 5: was unable to reveal mister Stephens's identity because if it
- 44:00Speaker 5: had done so, it would have been fined one hundred
- 44:02Speaker 5: and fifty thousand dollars and prison sentences.
- 44:06Speaker 6: I mean, God, bless Adelaide. It's just gorgeous.
- 44:10Speaker 5: So it's a great cover. It's a great cover for
- 44:13Speaker 5: the Tizer today. But the whole story is just we're
- 44:17Speaker 5: not going to tell you we're going to threaten you
- 44:19Speaker 5: with legal action, but then we're going to make sure
- 44:21Speaker 5: that everybody knows when we self out ourselves.
- 44:25Speaker 1: But not even that.
- 44:25Speaker 8: They just knew the jig was And I also, I
- 44:27Speaker 8: think very quickly realized how incredibly bad it would look
- 44:32Speaker 8: if they were continuing to cover up the police, were
- 44:37Speaker 8: continuing to cover up the fact that it was the
- 44:40Speaker 8: Commissioner of Police who was the one who accidentally discharged
- 44:46Speaker 8: their crazy and.
- 44:48Speaker 2: Then to bring in the gag laws and to cover
- 44:51Speaker 2: it all up.
- 44:52Speaker 8: I think they very quickly realized they were into You know.
- 44:55Speaker 5: What, it's the same as everything. It's never the crime,
- 44:57Speaker 5: it's always the cover.
- 45:00Speaker 3: But there's an interesting crime related story just yes is
- 45:03Speaker 3: and we all know we love a bit of rough,
- 45:05Speaker 3: don't we.
- 45:05Speaker 8: Holly looking for love in with the battles captured with
- 45:10Speaker 8: women in the Dane Tree. Yes, Whether love interest on
- 45:13Speaker 8: the other side of the razor y motivated a prisoner
- 45:16Speaker 8: to escape Lotus Glen on a red tractor will be
- 45:19Speaker 8: investigated by police. I would hope it would be investigated
- 45:21Speaker 8: by police. Actually, so good to know that the leads
- 45:24Speaker 8: doing what should happen. But Holly, do you find that
- 45:27Speaker 8: you know are bad boys. They tickle your fancy.
- 45:30Speaker 6: No, not my thing.
- 45:31Speaker 5: I'm not quite sure that the field's ever been that
- 45:34Speaker 5: empty that I needed to look to prisoner, but it.
- 45:36Speaker 2: Is a thing, women going after men in prison.
- 45:39Speaker 3: It's very bizarre, but it's a trend apparently still to
- 45:42Speaker 3: come after the break. Imagine the thrill of winning the
- 45:45Speaker 3: lottery only to be told it was all a mistake.
- 45:48Speaker 3: Thousands thought they had really struck it rich, only to
- 45:52Speaker 3: find out they hadn't find out more after the break.
- 45:59Speaker 2: Welcome back to the late debate.
- 46:00Speaker 3: It wouldn't be another nine of news without hearing something
- 46:03Speaker 3: from Megan Mark or what's the up teat today?
- 46:06Speaker 5: You know, people will start to think I've got some
- 46:07Speaker 5: weird obsession with this woman, because I'm clearly not a fan,
- 46:10Speaker 5: and she's really outdone herself.
- 46:11Speaker 6: I think this time.
- 46:12Speaker 5: Meghan has now released a Rose, a wine which will
- 46:16Speaker 5: set you back around forty five Australian dollars thirty US dollars,
- 46:21Speaker 5: but has launched this rose on Diana's birthday, so on
- 46:25Speaker 5: the first of July she has launched this Napa Valley
- 46:30Speaker 5: Rose wine, which.
- 46:32Speaker 6: Apparently captures the essence of some drenched.
- 46:36Speaker 5: Outdoor moments and I'm clearly from her well photoshop picture
- 46:40Speaker 5: that's what she's been planning to do. But the fact
- 46:42Speaker 5: that Diana was killed in a car accident with a
- 46:44Speaker 5: drink driver and Meghan, in all of her wisdom, has
- 46:48Speaker 5: decided to launch wine with an announcement of the sparkling
- 46:52Speaker 5: wine to follow on Diana's birthday just shows the incredible
- 46:56Speaker 5: poor taste. And there is nothing this woman won't do
- 47:00Speaker 5: to chase the headline. And I think it's an absolute
- 47:02Speaker 5: disgrace that Harry is not standing up and saying enough's enough, Meghan.
- 47:07Speaker 6: That is just one step too far.
- 47:09Speaker 8: But isn't this the sort of thing that Harry would
- 47:11Speaker 8: usually be the first to get really upset and offended by,
- 47:14Speaker 8: Like if anyone else did, it would be.
- 47:16Speaker 1: Like, oh, they're clearly deliberately doing this.
- 47:18Speaker 8: To get at me and to make the money, Like
- 47:21Speaker 8: it seemed very strong, like he obviously must have known.
- 47:26Speaker 1: And then but the first you.
- 47:27Speaker 5: Like, I mean, just even the US have a different
- 47:29Speaker 5: financial year to us, so their financial year is January December,
- 47:32Speaker 5: so it's.
- 47:33Speaker 6: Not even launched because of you know, a financial.
- 47:36Speaker 8: I think the takeout messages that Princess Diana was born
- 47:38Speaker 8: on the first day of the financial year. It's just
- 47:41Speaker 8: some kind of weird cosmic significance. Now this is just
- 47:45Speaker 8: mind blowing. Imagine this. Right, you get a phone call,
- 47:49Speaker 8: you get told, guess what, you've won a million dollars. Oh, sorry,
- 47:52Speaker 8: there's been a slight cleric.
- 47:53Speaker 1: You've won nothing.
- 47:55Speaker 8: Norwegian lottery boss has been They have sent a text
- 47:59Speaker 8: message apologizing to tens of thousands of disappointed players forty
- 48:04Speaker 8: seven thousand of presides who were accidentally told they had
- 48:07Speaker 8: won massive amounts of money when in fact they hadn't
- 48:11Speaker 8: by factor of about ten thousand.
- 48:12Speaker 1: If my mass is great.
- 48:13Speaker 8: Norse Tipping, the state owned gaming operator had admitted to
- 48:16Speaker 8: several thousand people were mistakenly told on Friday they had
- 48:19Speaker 8: won life changing sums of money after an error in
- 48:22Speaker 8: converting from euros to Norwegian krona. And I believe that
- 48:26Speaker 8: the eerror was that they were meant to divide by
- 48:30Speaker 8: one hundred, but they accidentally multiplied by one hundred, right roll.
- 48:36Speaker 5: Apparently there was one guy on holiday in Greece who
- 48:38Speaker 5: got a message that he'd won sort of like eighty
- 48:40Speaker 5: six thousand pounds, and then when he went to check
- 48:43Speaker 5: it was actually nine pounds, So I hope he hadn't
- 48:47Speaker 5: Todd his wife and his wife had gone, you know what,
- 48:49Speaker 5: I Am going to go get that extra pair of
- 48:51Speaker 5: shoes and bag, and we're upgrading our hotel because we've
- 48:54Speaker 5: just won this money when it was in nine pounds.
- 48:56Speaker 6: So bad.
- 48:58Speaker 2: That is really upsetting.
- 48:59Speaker 3: Well, thing that's quite upsetting is this sculpture that is
- 49:02Speaker 3: in New York on the Highline walkway. It's a very phallic,
- 49:08Speaker 3: very pink foot sculpture that even has a fountain coming
- 49:12Speaker 3: out of it, and is also dotted with red lipped.
- 49:16Speaker 2: Mouths sticking out tongues.
- 49:18Speaker 3: People are rightfully quite disgusted by it and disturbed. Well,
- 49:22Speaker 3: that's it, reglects next about any show,
