  Speaker 1: On scorids Australia.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: This is the Reader Panalty Show.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Reader Panety Show. Coming
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: up tonight. Tax revenue and jobs under threat as mining
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: and gas executives warn the Albanesi government that red, black
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: and green tape are jeopardizing investment in the sector. Professor
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: I Plymer will join me shortly to discuss that crucial issue.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: Elon Musk and X have a big win against the
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: Safety Commissioner in the Federal Court. Australia's Jewish community speaks
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: out against the Albanesi government's betrayal at the UN. Doctor
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: Colin Rubinstein joins me later in the hour, and why
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: is Prince Harry reportedly crying Kinsey's schofield with the latest
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: celebrity and royal news and talking about left is losing it?
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: Tonight we feature a Eurovision extravaganza, including this little communist
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: doom goblin.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, to show that I think it is outrageous and
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: inexcusable for Eurovision to let Israel participates while committing a genocide.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Let's bring in Sky News contributor Pro McSwain. Prout's starting
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: to see Greta so effortlessly go from science expert to
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Middle East expert while wagging years of school. She really
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: is quite an impressive young woman.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: She just sort of comes out of the woodwork and
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: lay's claim to know everything about everything, when in fact
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: she's totally unemployable, she's got questionable intelligence, and she's just
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: she is a goblin. She's a bloody public nuisance.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: Absolutely well, you know what. I would ignore her input,
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: except she has such a profound influence on young people,
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: and we've seen so many young people suffering from things
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: called climate anxiety. Now people are in treatment. I've spoken
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: to psychologists on this program who are dealing with these
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: traumatized kids who've been convinced by the likes of Greta
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: that the world's ending and they have no future and
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: that they're experiencing all this trauma unnecessarily. So we do
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: have to pay attention to what she's up to. But
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: let's talk about a significant win today for Elon Musk
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: and X at the Federal Court where a temporary order
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: by Australia's East Safety Commissioner Julie mon Grant to block
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Australians from viewing footage of the alleged terrorist stabbing attack
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: of Sydney Bishop mar Mari Emmanuel that has now been
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: refused through this request from the ET Safety Commissioner wasn't
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: just blocking Australians. This was wanting the footage to have
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: be banned globally at takedown order with global implications, which
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: is absurd. The power trip this woman must be on.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Barrister Brett Walker, representing X, told the court that the
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: reasons supplied by these Safety Commissioner to support this takedown
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: order looked informal under the Administrative Appeals Tribunal Act, and
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: he also said there are strong reasons to doubt the
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: validity of the notice. This is again it shocks me
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: that so many in the media are enthusiastically supporting what
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: amounts to censorship here.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: Well, this is the problem. It's a huge play by
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: this government we're seeing in South Australia as well where
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: they want to control everything we see, read and hear.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: And I am so glad that this judge has knocked
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: this out of the park. This woman, Julian mcgrant, has
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: vendetta as we know against Twitter, which is was a
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: former employer, and the fact that she was going to
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: try and impose her views on the world and that's
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: what it would would have happened, as the judge said,
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: was totally insane.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, And as Elon Musk himself pointed out a
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: couple of weeks ago, you could have any government anywhere
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: in the world have a similar order requesting footage to
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: be taken down, and every country would have to abide
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: by it. If if this set some sort of a precedent,
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's just madness. And we should also point out,
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: as it was pointed out in court, that the alleged
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: victim in all this, the Bishop Emmanuel, doesn't want this
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: footage to be banned from social media or from X
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: so that was also something that was mentioned in court.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: Throu South Australian Premier Peter Malanascus has announced his government
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: is examining a ban on children under the age of
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: fourteen from having social media accounts. He posted this on
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: social media side X this nation leading move, we'll see.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: Former Chief Justice of the High Court, Robert french ac
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: tasks with examining the legal, regulatory and technological pathways for
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: the state government to impose a ban while also giving
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: due consideration to the constitutional framework. Two things here pro One,
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: it sounds unenforceable. I don't know how they're going to
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: enforce this for kids who can run rings around all
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: of us when it comes to social media and technology.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: And two, shouldn't this be a parental decision as opposed
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: to a government one?
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: Well, these are the grand gestures that labor loves to make.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: And as you say, it's totally unenforceable, how can they
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: possibly do it? And secondly, we are sick of parents
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: being disempowered. I mean, we have this situation where we
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: are seeing kids, you know, boasting and posting fights and
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: things like that at school. And part of the problem
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: is that teachers are not allowed to a discipline children
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: anymore and supervise them to the extent that when I
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: was going to school, I mean I would never have
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: dared do something like this. So we have parents disempowered.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: They can't complain about the fact that there's no discipline.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: And rules in schools.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: And we have, you know, this nanny state situation where
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: the politicians sing they can go into a kid's bedroom
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: and tell them and determine what they can and cannot watch.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's not going to happen. We do know
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: that social media has very dangerous implications when it comes
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: to young minds. We've witnessed that with radicalized kids, et cetera.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: But in the end, it's up to the parents to
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: impose restrictions on their kids instead of trying to be
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: a friend with your kid.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Take the phone away.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: If they're going into their bedroom at night, they do
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: not need their device with them for goodness sake. So
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: you know, parents need to start guarranting.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, And I wouldn't be against having some sort of
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: a ban in schools, in class and lunchtime and recess.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Just if you're in school, you don't have your phone
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: unless it's some sort of an emergency. I think that
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: that would be widely supported and that's something you could
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: actually enforce. But yeah, what they're talking about here, I
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: think is fantasy land.
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: It's taken a while, but finally some acknowledgment that the
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: way Victoria police treated anti lockdown and vaccine mandate protests
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: during COVID was a violent use of excessive face. In
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: the County Court, Judge Liz gain Or ruled police were
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: the aggressors during an anti lockdown protest in May twenty
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: twenty one, and in her singing judgment, the judge ruled
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: the arrests were unlawful, and she called the response from
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: the police immediate and violent, saying I'm satisfied that police
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: were they dresses in the situation and they employed unjustified
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: violence prove there are now calls for the police to
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: be perhaps investigated and charged, and I think we're going
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: to hear a lot more about these because these cases
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: are now finally before the courts and the evidence is
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: being examined, including bodycam footage.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm not an apologist for the police, and I
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: think they have totally overstepped the mark and they were
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: aggressive and incredibly violent. But we have to point the
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: finger at Andrew's, the premiere, because you know, it's a
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: psychological thing almost that he empowered them. He was ruling
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: that state with an unreasonable iron hand. He was demanding
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: measures that were absolutely an infringement on people's human rights.
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: And I suspect because the police force in Victoria was
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: and still remains a very big political arm of the
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: premiers of the state, and you know they have been
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: were empowered by Andrews to do this in aggressive enforcement.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: So he's to me as culpable as the police who
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: did seriously overstep the mark.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, we need a Royal Commission with everybody to
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: answer questions, including the state premieres. Now the budget. You're
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: not going to escape a budget question, Peru. I know
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: you thought you were going to, but it's tomorrow night.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: And the Australian Financial Review notes that Treasurer Jim Chalmers
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: is breaking from the market based economic model favored by
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: the Hawk and Keating governments that help deliver years of
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: national prosperity. John Kio rights, Jim Chalmers is ripping up
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: the economic textbook, the labor Treasury is embracing a bigger
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: role for government to direct capital and allocate resources. But
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: prou how can a government that, let's be frank here
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: has next to zero business experience pick out winning projects
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: to back with our money.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: Well, we've already seen that they are totally inept at it.
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: When with this future made in Australia and we have,
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: you know, the one billion dollars into the solar panels,
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: when we know there's a glut of solar panels and
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: that China and many other countries can produce the much
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: cheaper than we we could possibly ever do. And then
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: we've got this very questionable tendering process over the quantum
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: the pair Zi quantum allocation of another billion dollars. I mean,
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: they're not they're not demonstrating that they have any prowess
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: at doing this. And as you say, I mean, Charmers
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: and Co. Have never had any business experience. They don't
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: understand market forces. Keating and Hawk certainly did. And that's
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: where this country was, you know, really reinvigorated. And these fools,
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: these arrogant fools, who think that they are going to
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: be able to pick the winners with our money and
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: with of course the union power of the super fun money,
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: which you know, got to help all these people who
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: are in industry funds because your money is going to
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: be invested in loser businesses and this country is going
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: to go down the toilet. And he keeps saying, Charmers
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: that he knows.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Better than the.
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: RBA that we are going to have inflation down to
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: two or three percent by Christmas.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: Give us a break.
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: I mean, the man is you know, he did work
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: for Wayne Swan was into the universe's greatest treasure, and
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: he never ever produced a surplus. And this is the
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: guy who worked for him.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: So God help Australia.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: Is all I can say.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Wayne Swan promised US four surpluses, but
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: I don't think he actually delivered one at all.
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: Not.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, we'll see how we go here, but it's
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: just not need an expansory budget in the current environment.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: The last thing we want is the Reserve Bank spooked
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: with inflationary pressure and rates remaining high or even going
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: up further. Now, speaking of poor Keating there, I don't
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: know if you called this story in the Sunday Telegraph
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: and Net's sharp reporting there that the former Labor Prime minister,
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: who is now eighty years old, has found love with
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: a thirty something Polish waitress got a hand it to
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Paul Keating. No one ever said he was boring proof.
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: No, there must be some life in the old boy yet,
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: unless they just wind clocks together and you know, talk
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: about art or something. I don't know, but good on him.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: You know, at least it might keep him off the
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: media trail, and you know, throwing grenades at various people
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: as he loves to do. And of course closing up
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: to China. It's interesting, does Poland and trying to get
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: on I'm not quite sure.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: Well, yes, the less he says about China, the better
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: I think for all of us. Now, let's go to
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: the US, where a small number of students at Duke
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: Universities staged a walkout, a very loud walkout, in protest
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: of Jerry Seinfeld's appearance at their commencement ceremony. You can
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: see them, they're getting up and leaving. My doubt Jerry
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: really was too fussed about these Let's have a listen
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: to what he had to say.
• 13:34
  Speaker 7: My point is, we're embarrassed about things we should be
• 13:36
  Speaker 7: proud of, and proud of things we should be embarrassed about.
• 13:40
  Speaker 7: So on my staff in the nineties, we had a
• 13:42
  Speaker 7: lot of Harvard guys. They were fantastic, But I could
• 13:45
  Speaker 7: never understand why these guys were so embarrassed about being
• 13:49
  Speaker 7: from Harvard. They would never talk about it, they would
• 13:51
  Speaker 7: never mention it. I'm not talking about Harvard now, I'm
• 13:55
  Speaker 7: talking about the way it used to be. You're never
• 13:58
  Speaker 7: going to believe this Harvard, it used to be a
• 14:00
  Speaker 7: great place to go to school.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: Prou He told them not to be ashamed of their
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: privilege and to maintain a sense of humor, and I
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: think that's very good advice.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: Indeed, Well, definitely, but clearly they were humorless and if
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: they didn't really celebrate the fact that Jerry Seinfeld, who's
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: one of the greatest comedians, and you know, I think
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: social anthropologists we've seen, you know, I think it's pretty
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: pathetic that they walked out. You know, it just shows
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: how juvenile and how dumb they really are.
• 14:39
  Speaker 7: Oh.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, But I think it was with Duke University a
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: small but loud minority. When you look at the numbers
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: who actually got up and walked out, a few of
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: them had banners and they looked they were in the dozens,
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: not their hundreds. So I guess that's a positive sign
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: for prou mcswede, Thank you so much. Joining me now
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: is renowned geologists professor in plymber In. We've had gas
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: mining giants issuing the Abenezy government a budget eve warning.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: They're saying that huge tax revenue contributions and the regional
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: jobs the sector provides they're at risk unless this restrictive
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: red black green tape is removed. What are the chances
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: that the treasure Jim Chalmers will heat their calls.
• 15:29
  Speaker 8: Well, it's got very little choice.
• 15:31
  Speaker 9: This has now become a political matter a couple of
• 15:34
  Speaker 9: years ago, the outgoing Japanese ambassador warned the government about
• 15:39
  Speaker 9: investment in gas in Australia and the time taken for approvals,
• 15:44
  Speaker 9: the massive amount of red, green, black and blue tape
• 15:48
  Speaker 9: from the UN that gives massive investment uncertainty, and investment
• 15:53
  Speaker 9: wasn't made because of the uncertainty.
• 15:56
  Speaker 8: Now the chickens have come home.
• 15:58
  Speaker 9: Now we've got a gas ortage, and that means that
• 16:02
  Speaker 9: the knock on effect is with making fertilizers and making plastics,
• 16:06
  Speaker 9: and foundries operating and even green steel and making hydrogen.
• 16:10
  Speaker 8: So this has been coming for a long long time.
• 16:13
  Speaker 8: Now I have to declare an interest.
• 16:15
  Speaker 9: I'm the chairman of Senex, which is a gas company
• 16:18
  Speaker 9: in Eastern Australia. It's a company with Posco, the Coorean
• 16:23
  Speaker 9: steel giant. I was with Posco last week in Korea.
• 16:27
  Speaker 9: They expressed huge concern about the time taken for approvals
• 16:32
  Speaker 9: and the fact that our government has just locked gas
• 16:36
  Speaker 9: development in red tape and black tape such that it's
• 16:40
  Speaker 9: impossible to do anything. And in Senex we want to
• 16:43
  Speaker 9: increase our production from twenty to sixty pedadules. This would
• 16:47
  Speaker 9: help the problems in Eastern Australia. Now the government is
• 16:51
  Speaker 9: a hindrance to gas development in Australia. It's not helping
• 16:56
  Speaker 9: and they should have done this years ago. So they've
• 16:59
  Speaker 9: killed off coal, they've killed off nuclear, there's very little
• 17:03
  Speaker 9: hydro wind and solar are unreliable.
• 17:06
  Speaker 8: All we've got left is gas and this is.
• 17:09
  Speaker 9: Being totally absolutely destroyed by the federal government.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: Is it just the federal government or is it the
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: state government who are real hindrance when it comes to
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: increasing gas production in this country.
• 17:25
  Speaker 9: In Queensland, the state government is a little bit more
• 17:27
  Speaker 9: cooperative than in Victoria or in New South Wales.
• 17:30
  Speaker 8: And you have to remember that gas is produced from
• 17:33
  Speaker 8: rural areas. There are very few jobs left in rural areas.
• 17:37
  Speaker 8: Almost all the primary industry has.
• 17:39
  Speaker 9: Been destroyed in rural areas and gas creates a lot
• 17:43
  Speaker 9: of jobs. And in the case of Senex, the jobs
• 17:46
  Speaker 9: are in places like one Dowan and Roma. These jobs
• 17:50
  Speaker 9: are absolutely vital because there is little employment in rural Australia.
• 17:55
  Speaker 9: So it's a national issue which has been totally ignored
• 18:00
  Speaker 9: for ideological reasons by the government. It's been ignored because
• 18:04
  Speaker 9: gas is a fossil fuel. It's been ignored because they
• 18:08
  Speaker 9: want to create unreliable energy, which is not going to
• 18:11
  Speaker 9: make plastics, it's not going to make fertilizers, it's not
• 18:14
  Speaker 9: going to solve any problems.
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: Being one of your favorites, Minister for Climate Change Chris Bowen,
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: he has taken to X the social media side to
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: boast about a surge in electric vehicle novated leases. He
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: says it's all thanks to Labor's EV tax cutter. But
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: is this really something to boast about. It'sn't it more
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: market manipulation to push evs to people who are now
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: going into debt to lease an asset that it's going
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: to be almost worthless at the end of that lease
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: in some cases.
• 18:51
  Speaker 8: Well that's the case. EV's lose the value quicker than anything.
• 18:55
  Speaker 9: Evs have an awful track record of performance and resale,
• 19:01
  Speaker 9: and mister Bowen should look at what's happening in the
• 19:03
  Speaker 9: UK and in Europe, and there's a massive glut of evs.
• 19:07
  Speaker 9: People are moving away from evs and back to the
• 19:10
  Speaker 9: time proven internal combustion engines.
• 19:13
  Speaker 8: We've got tens of thousands of evs lined up on
• 19:17
  Speaker 8: waves in Europe.
• 19:18
  Speaker 9: These have come from China, places like Burmerhafen, you can't
• 19:22
  Speaker 9: actually have any more evs there. And in Germany the
• 19:26
  Speaker 9: ev construction has actually slowed down. We have so many
• 19:32
  Speaker 9: evs floating around that people don't want to buy, and
• 19:35
  Speaker 9: they don't want to buy them for the right reasons.
• 19:38
  Speaker 9: They're too expensive. They depreciate it very very fast rate.
• 19:43
  Speaker 9: They catch a light, they can't go very far. And
• 19:48
  Speaker 9: if you're in the case of someone like Budget who
• 19:50
  Speaker 9: are renting out cars the useless and what Budget has
• 19:54
  Speaker 9: done they sell tens of thousands of the evs because
• 19:58
  Speaker 9: they cannot run a bit business. Actually renting out EV's,
• 20:02
  Speaker 9: leashing EV's is the same.
• 20:04
  Speaker 8: Sort of business. It will only operate if it's subsidized
• 20:08
  Speaker 8: then that is with your money.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: Well, that's exactly right. I mean, if there's such a
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: fantastic product, you wouldn't need all these programs and subsidies
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: and penalties on high mission cars to try to cajole
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: people into buying these. Now, it's all very confusing because
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: whilst we've got Chris Bowen pushing EV's very heavily in Germany,
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: the lefties are protesting against evs. Protesters are opposed to
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: the expansion of a Tesla plant in a town near
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: Berlin on Friday that clashed with police. Some of them
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: have been attempted to storm the electric vehicle manufacturing facility.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: Let's have a look and what is going on. I
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: thought the environmentalists were all loving evs or are they
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: finally realizing that they're not that environmentally friendly if you
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: actually look at what goes into them.
• 21:16
  Speaker 9: Well, summer is coming on in Europe, in German Germany,
• 21:20
  Speaker 9: and you can see from the way people were dressed
• 21:22
  Speaker 9: it was warm. Many of those people have not got
• 21:25
  Speaker 9: sick overcoats on. So this is the time for the
• 21:28
  Speaker 9: anarcho Marxists to start demonstrating, and they demonstrate against anything.
• 21:33
  Speaker 9: Now that grin Hyder factory is in East Germany. East
• 21:38
  Speaker 9: Germany needs the jobs. East Germany is still.
• 21:41
  Speaker 8: Recovering from communism which destroyed the economy. So here we've
• 21:45
  Speaker 8: got people objecting.
• 21:46
  Speaker 9: To actually owning a car, to having freedom, to stopping
• 21:50
  Speaker 9: the average person.
• 21:51
  Speaker 8: Being able to drive when and where they want to.
• 21:54
  Speaker 9: They want to be pleased that Germany actually has Tesla
• 21:57
  Speaker 9: into that country because companies lie BMW and Volkswagen and Mercedes.
• 22:03
  Speaker 8: And Porsche are actually cutting down the amount of production.
• 22:07
  Speaker 9: They've been very successful with their internal combustion engines, but
• 22:12
  Speaker 9: with the evs they've actually lost a lot of money.
• 22:16
  Speaker 9: So the German people should be very pleased and someone
• 22:19
  Speaker 9: is investing in evs, because after all, evs are meant
• 22:23
  Speaker 9: to be clean, green vehicles.
• 22:25
  Speaker 8: These people should be cheering. They shouldn't be demonstrating.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: Well, they're not charing that you saw from that footage there,
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: we're like storming the barricades. Also a conflict in Queensland
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: with the L and P, the Liberal National Party, the
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: different factions there have got a showdown coming up between
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: the Moderates and the Conservatives of the party's annual state conference,
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: and the big issue seems to be in the Parliamentary
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: party's support of Labour's seventy five percent in mission reduction
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: target by twenty thirty five, a very bold target. Indeed,
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: rank and file party members are said to be absolutely
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: irate with that, as are several federal MPs. How do
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: you see this clash resolving? It seems like they're determined
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: to snatch defeat from the Jews of victory here. Have
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: they not learned anything from the rabble we've got down
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: here in Victoria?
• 23:28
  Speaker 9: Well, there's something in the water in Queensland because the
• 23:30
  Speaker 9: labor parties having a massive fight at present between the
• 23:34
  Speaker 9: loopy left trying to ease out the right, and they
• 23:36
  Speaker 9: have agreements where various positions go to the left and right.
• 23:40
  Speaker 9: They're having a massy fight and the LNP are having
• 23:43
  Speaker 9: massive fight. And in the lnp's case, it's a death wish.
• 23:47
  Speaker 9: If you want to lose an election, show that you've
• 23:50
  Speaker 9: got some division. Now we have now the LNP is saying, look,
• 23:56
  Speaker 9: we don't want.
• 23:57
  Speaker 8: To have net zero on the political agenda.
• 24:00
  Speaker 9: We want to be the same as the labor clowns
• 24:02
  Speaker 9: and so we're going to have the same policy and
• 24:05
  Speaker 9: that means that you can't vote us out on net
• 24:08
  Speaker 9: zero grounds. They need to stand up and have some principle.
• 24:12
  Speaker 9: They need to say we are different. We don't want
• 24:14
  Speaker 9: to send Queensland broke. We have Queensland and energy exporting state.
• 24:19
  Speaker 9: We need to actually use coal and use gas. So
• 24:23
  Speaker 9: we have people and I wouldn't call them the moderates.
• 24:26
  Speaker 9: I'd say those with common sense in their LNP are
• 24:30
  Speaker 9: actually trying.
• 24:32
  Speaker 8: To stop those who are siding.
• 24:34
  Speaker 10: With the loopy left and saying well, yes we should
• 24:37
  Speaker 10: go down the net zero path and the people who
• 24:41
  Speaker 10: have got common sense in the LNP are saying, we
• 24:44
  Speaker 10: want to be.
• 24:45
  Speaker 11: A party where we are different. We don't want to
• 24:47
  Speaker 11: have a twiddled and twittle dum election. We want to
• 24:50
  Speaker 11: have an election based on two different economic models. One
• 24:53
  Speaker 11: is a socialist model and the other's a capitalist model.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: Well you absolute, and we saw that federally, where with
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: the Morrison government decided that they didn't want to have
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: climate change net zero on the agenda, so they signed
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: up to it and then they lost because they couldn't
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: actually argue about the most important issue in that election,
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: which was cost of living and obviously energy prices are
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: a huge factor in that. Professor Plymouth, thank you so
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: much for your time this evening.
• 25:23
  Speaker 8: Thank you.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: Still to come Lefties Losing It and it's a special
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: Eurovision edition of Lefties plus the Labor Party's betrayal of
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: the Jewish community. Doctor Colin Rubinstein joins me next welcome back.
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: Now it's time for Lefties Losing It. And before we
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: get to the Eurovision extravaganza I've promised you, let's start
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: with another neo pronoun lesson. Do you ever feel like
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: your gender is a star. Well, that's completely valid.
• 26:04
  Speaker 12: We literally live in a capitalist hellhole if somebody doesn't
• 26:06
  Speaker 12: have the correct words to express how their gender identity feels,
• 26:09
  Speaker 12: and the best way they can describe that is it
• 26:11
  Speaker 12: feels like a star. My gender feels like a star.
• 26:14
  Speaker 9: Okay, valid, Sure.
• 26:16
  Speaker 12: I really don't see the problem at all. My only asterisk, like,
• 26:19
  Speaker 12: my only little note is if you use a lot
• 26:21
  Speaker 12: of neo pronouns interchangeably. And this is not to crap
• 26:24
  Speaker 12: on neopronouns. I'm reading a lot about gender studies. I
• 26:26
  Speaker 12: have been lately of having my own little gender identity
• 26:28
  Speaker 12: crisis neopronuns, but it's something that helps me personally, and
• 26:32
  Speaker 12: that's a different TikTok for a different time. The point
• 26:33
  Speaker 12: is neopronouns are valid, but if you use a lot
• 26:36
  Speaker 12: of them interchangeably depending on how you're feeling that day,
• 26:38
  Speaker 12: be patient with people. Rapid change like that can be
• 26:41
  Speaker 12: difficult for a lot of people, and especially people learning
• 26:43
  Speaker 12: disabilities or other disabilities.
• 26:45
  Speaker 9: So just be patient, maybe work on.
• 26:46
  Speaker 12: Ways that you can express the pronouns that you're feeling
• 26:48
  Speaker 12: that day, name, tag, baslet, earrings, different things. You are
• 26:51
  Speaker 12: still incredibly valid, You just maybe need to be a
• 26:52
  Speaker 12: little bit patient while the rest of the world is
• 26:54
  Speaker 12: catching up.
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Yessa, incredibly valid. Just remember that. Now to the
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: Eurovision contest. Remember when it was just a joyful, freak
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: show of song and dance. Well now it's just become
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: a freak show, a hateful anti Israeli one where one
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: lone performer representing Israel was mercilessly bullied by the crowd
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: who booed her, by fellow contestants and even commy troll
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: Greta Thunberg.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Here to show that we think it is outrageous and
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: inexcusable for Eurovision to let Israel participate while committing a genocide. Yes,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: it's a song contest where Israel, a country that is
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: currently committing a genocide in Gaza, are allowed to compete. Yeah,
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: that is a very clear example that does say that
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: when a country accepts in a way that when a
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: country behaves in a way that is unacceptable, then Eurovision
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: excuse them. So why not Israel?
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: She really is a miserable little doom goblin, isn't she?
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: And how wonderful to see her go from climate expert
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: to Middle East expert and she really believes she's saving
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: the world by encouraging kids to waste their lives getting
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: themselves arrested, this time for trying to stop a woman singing.
• 28:12
  Speaker 13: I think they should be everywhere and once again young
• 28:16
  Speaker 13: people are are leading the way, showing, showing the world
• 28:20
  Speaker 13: how how we should react to this.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: But it wasn't just Greta. The Israeli performer Eden Golan
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: was also bullied by other contestants, including this thirty something
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: child representing Greece, pretending to fall asleep when media asked
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: Eden a question.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: I'm very happy after reaching the final when the situation
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: is and you know how it is, well, I feel.
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: I'm soveraway of emotions.
• 29:04
  Speaker 14: It's truly such an honor to be here on stage.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: And among the most virulent anti Israel performers was the
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: nine Binary, which Bamby Thug by the way, that is
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: not me having a go at her. That's how she
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: describes herself. Do you know what makes me special? I'm
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: a queer and I'm well. Despite backing a boycott of
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: the event, a Bamby Thug decided to participate herself. Of course,
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: she didn't want to pay a personal price for activism
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: and miss out on Eurovision. But what did she do
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: When Israel made it to the finals.
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: I cried with my team.
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: Yes there were tears from that lefty, but there was
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: also demented joy. I guess that's what this is. Yes,
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: the Irish lass cried and laughed, and she cried some
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: more when Israel ended up doing particularly well with the
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: public vote, not the jury vote for obvious reasons. But
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: the public voted for talent, not a hateful, confused witch
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: and so we saw the lefty lose it again. I
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: norm even care any more.
• 30:40
  Speaker 15: The thing that makes us as an ingestice, the community
• 30:43
  Speaker 15: behind it, the love and the power and the support
• 30:48
  Speaker 15: of all of us as what it is, made you change.
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: And the world has bo been Your queeries are coming non.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: Votary and the world did speak and backed the Israeli
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: performer who got the maximum twelve votes from the public
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: from countries such as Australia, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, UK, Portugal, Switzerland, Italy.
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: The list goes on, but the jury votes did not
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: go to Israel. Indeed, shamefully, Australia's jury votes went to
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: the demonic cry baby Witchy. In twist, joining me now
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: is doctor Colin Rubinstein, Executive Director of the Australia Israel
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: and Jewish Affairs Council. Colin the Albanesi government has overturned
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: decades of foreign policy bipartisanship with a UN vote supporting
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: resolution urging recognition of Palestine as a state. The Foreign
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: Minister Pennywoe claims this will advance peace efforts. What's your
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: response to that argument.
• 32:13
  Speaker 6: Well, this is a very disturbing decision that Australia has taken.
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: It's confused, shortsighted, and its counterproductive approach in terms of
• 32:27
  Speaker 6: our historical bipartisan commitment Israel, but also in terms of
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: promoting what they claim they want, and that is towards
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: a negotiated to state outcome. It effectively rewards terrorism and violence.
• 32:42
  Speaker 6: It's basically saying that mass murder, rape, kidnapping, hostage taking,
• 32:47
  Speaker 6: these are acceptable and effective tools to achieve legitimacy and
• 32:52
  Speaker 6: international support. As Hummas of course, is very pleased by
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: this decision, as is the published Indian authority, which also
• 33:01
  Speaker 6: needs to undergo a profound change in its culture if
• 33:05
  Speaker 6: it's to be able to be in a position down
• 33:07
  Speaker 6: the track to have an effective role in the governing
• 33:11
  Speaker 6: of a potential Palestinian state in the future. So rito
• 33:16
  Speaker 6: this many have said it's a completely unprincipled decision by Australia,
• 33:24
  Speaker 6: joining our enemies at the United Nations, the Flat Earth Organization,
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: which in the process of passing the resolution further dens
• 33:32
  Speaker 6: its credibility and enhances its tradition, longstanding tradition of extreme
• 33:38
  Speaker 6: anti Israel bias. But it's also very unprincipled in terms
• 33:45
  Speaker 6: of ditching Israel. I think it's very worrying in terms
• 33:48
  Speaker 6: of flaming tensions within Australia at a time where anti
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: Semitism has surged around the world and in this country
• 33:55
  Speaker 6: as well. We see it on our streets, we see
• 33:57
  Speaker 6: it on our universities, and for the government to be
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: taking this position this time, I think is disturbing for
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: Australia's basic national interest because, as you well know, we're
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: citing with our enemies here and ditching our allies, principally
• 34:15
  Speaker 6: of course, the United States, but also countries at least
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: who had the decency to abstain, be they the United Kingdom,
• 34:24
  Speaker 6: Canada and others. So we've aligned ourselves with Iran and
• 34:28
  Speaker 6: Russia and China and North Korea, and we've put ourselves
• 34:33
  Speaker 6: on the wrong side of the Ledger. We've done nothing
• 34:36
  Speaker 6: to advance genuine possibility of a resolution of this current war,
• 34:43
  Speaker 6: which is what it is, and certainly nothing in terms
• 34:46
  Speaker 6: of advancing the prospects of long term reconciliation in the
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: Middle East between Israel and the Palestinians.
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: Why do you think the Albanesi government has come to
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: this position the It is such a significant departure from
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: what we have seen for decades. Is it domestic politics
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: that's motivating this decision? Are they looking at those electorates
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: where there are large Muslim populations and worried about what
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: the backlash there might be at coming elections? What's motivating
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: this decision?
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: Well, you've said it, and I'm not going to disagree
• 35:28
  Speaker 6: with a good judge like you, But many have commented
• 35:31
  Speaker 6: on the political opportunism at stake and the electoral numbers.
• 35:36
  Speaker 6: It's well known that Labor both left and right, members
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: are looking at the attitudes and ideology and interests of
• 35:47
  Speaker 6: large numbers in their electorates. It's not a secret at all.
• 35:51
  Speaker 6: This is certainly driving the politics, but also ideological stance
• 35:58
  Speaker 6: by many members we see it very clearly and toxic
• 36:02
  Speaker 6: views taken by so many Greens and even Teals. But
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: this ideological hostility to Israel that's developed over the decades
• 36:14
  Speaker 6: that somehow it's an illegal entity, it's a colonial entity,
• 36:19
  Speaker 6: it's a newcomer, it's perpetrating terrible atrocities, war crimes and
• 36:25
  Speaker 6: all the rest of it, which are completely untrue many
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: respects pure and utter blood libel and historically absolutely ignorant.
• 36:34
  Speaker 6: But there is a strong dose of ideology of commitment
• 36:40
  Speaker 6: by some members the anti Israel faction of the Labor Party,
• 36:43
  Speaker 6: as opposed those who are more familiar with their history
• 36:46
  Speaker 6: and more familiar with Australia's values and traditions and bipartisan
• 36:50
  Speaker 6: stance and the history of their own party. Going back
• 36:54
  Speaker 6: to Doc Everittt through to Bob Hawk and Julia Gillard,
• 36:57
  Speaker 6: which understands Israel's situation, is committed Israel's viability in future,
• 37:01
  Speaker 6: at the same time being committed to a genuine reconciliation
• 37:05
  Speaker 6: and to state peace through negotiation, which is what mainstream
• 37:10
  Speaker 6: parties still support, which is the position I think well
• 37:15
  Speaker 6: articulated by the United States at the General Assembly just
• 37:19
  Speaker 6: a few days ago. That is the way to go.
• 37:21
  Speaker 6: And ironically, I mean the verbal gymnastics we've heard from
• 37:26
  Speaker 6: the Foreign Minister on the weekend really defy understanding and imagination.
• 37:33
  Speaker 6: So Australia is a mixed position. I think is as
• 37:38
  Speaker 6: many have said, it's shameful. It trashes the bipartisan support
• 37:43
  Speaker 6: for peace in the Middle East and Israel, which exemplifies
• 37:47
  Speaker 6: the same democratic values and traditions that we uphold, and
• 37:51
  Speaker 6: we've joined the jackals. As former Senator Monahan said, back
• 37:56
  Speaker 6: in the days of the seventies, the Zionism Racing Resolution,
• 38:01
  Speaker 6: which was like which we should remember historically, its rebuttal
• 38:05
  Speaker 6: and rejection had a lot to do with the leadership
• 38:08
  Speaker 6: of the Hawk Labor government at the time, to the
• 38:10
  Speaker 6: extent that for a while it was called the rebuttal.
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: Of that Colin, We're a long way from.
• 38:15
  Speaker 6: All the Australian resolution, We're a.
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: Long way from the hawk Labor government. With this current lot,
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: things have changed dramatically and not for the better unfortunately,
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: Doctor Colin Ribnson, thank you so much for your time
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: this evening. Appreciate it still to come. Harry breaks down
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: in tears as King Charles awards Prince William and military
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: honor and why Harry and Meghan in Nigeria? Kinsisco Fields
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: up next, Welcome back. You're watching the Reader Paney Show.
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: Let's bring in celebrity and royal report at Kinsey's Schofield Kinsey,
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: Let's talk about Harry. Tom Queen has claimed that Prince
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: Harry was reduced to tears when he heard King Charles
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: had bestowed a new military honor on his brother Prince William.
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: Surely not, he wouldn't. Why would it be in tears
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: over something like this. It should be overjoyed that his
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: brother's being honored.
• 39:24
  Speaker 14: Well. Allegedly, this is the same department that Prince Harry
• 39:27
  Speaker 14: served under, So this, I mean, this would be a
• 39:29
  Speaker 14: burn to Prince Harry. You know, I'm sure that all
• 39:33
  Speaker 14: he has to do is get a log on to
• 39:35
  Speaker 14: zoom and talk to his local California therapist after dealing
• 39:40
  Speaker 14: with something like this. But they do feel like this
• 39:43
  Speaker 14: might have been an intentional snub, considering the fact that
• 39:46
  Speaker 14: Prince Harry had just landed in the UK when the
• 39:48
  Speaker 14: Palace announced it, and the Palace did expect for Prince
• 39:51
  Speaker 14: Harry to land in the UK that day. You know,
• 39:54
  Speaker 14: I think that if he's a man that's willing to
• 39:57
  Speaker 14: cry over something like this. I wouldn't want him, you know,
• 40:00
  Speaker 14: as my leader anyway. But a particularly interesting headline coming
• 40:06
  Speaker 14: from Tom Quinn about Prince Harry in tears.
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: Yes, and this may have left him in tears as well,
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: because we know King Charles declined to see Harry when
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: they were both in London last week, but he did
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: find time to meet up with David Beckham. According to
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: the Times. They said the former England football captain met
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: the King for a private meeting. There were no pictures,
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: there was no press about it, but they did note
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: that the report of the meeting could make uncomfortable reading
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: for the Duke of Sussex. You don't say Kinsey exactly.
• 40:40
  Speaker 14: Well, first of all, I want to stress that David
• 40:42
  Speaker 14: Beckham waited in line for over twelve hours to pay
• 40:44
  Speaker 14: respects to Queen Elizabeth the second after she passed. Prince
• 40:48
  Speaker 14: Harry refused to see her days before her death, So
• 40:51
  Speaker 14: I think that that's important to point out that the
• 40:54
  Speaker 14: Beckhams clearly have much more respect for the monarchy than
• 40:57
  Speaker 14: the Markles. But also it has there have been reports
• 41:01
  Speaker 14: recently that that statement that Prince Harry released about the
• 41:05
  Speaker 14: King not being able to see him was not necessarily
• 41:08
  Speaker 14: the honest truth. Friends of Prince King Charles came out
• 41:12
  Speaker 14: in his defense over the weekend, saying that not only
• 41:15
  Speaker 14: was the King willing to see him, but was never
• 41:18
  Speaker 14: formally approached about a meeting. The King authorized Prince Harry
• 41:23
  Speaker 14: the possibility to stay at one of the royal residents,
• 41:28
  Speaker 14: and Prince Harry turned it down ultimately and opted to
• 41:30
  Speaker 14: stay at a hotel. So interesting new developments coming out
• 41:33
  Speaker 14: of there. Maybe we were giving Prince Harry too much
• 41:35
  Speaker 14: credit by taking his word.
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: Yes, we should have learned our lesson by now. Now
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: let's talk about the Nigerian tour that's on de way
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: Harry and Meghan. I don't know if it's this is
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: a royal tour. They're not working royals, are they. Well,
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: they're not politicians or pop stars. What exactly are they
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: doing touring Nigeria in the first place, Kinsey.
• 41:57
  Speaker 14: Allegedly they're courting Nigeria for future Invictus Games, but all
• 42:03
  Speaker 14: it's just all a bunch of people. I mean, you've
• 42:06
  Speaker 14: seen Megan's dramatic wardrobe changes throughout it, her insisting that
• 42:11
  Speaker 14: this is her country. Thank you for welcoming me to
• 42:15
  Speaker 14: my country. Now, forty three percent of Nigerians are living
• 42:20
  Speaker 14: below the poverty level. Another twenty five are vulnerable to
• 42:24
  Speaker 14: falling in that category. There are horrible stories that come
• 42:27
  Speaker 14: out of Nigeria about, you know, the mutilation of little girls,
• 42:31
  Speaker 14: child brides, and abusive child labor. So they don't care
• 42:36
  Speaker 14: about Harry and Meghan. They don't care what Megan Markle's
• 42:39
  Speaker 14: wearing or that she's wearing the jewelry of her deceased
• 42:42
  Speaker 14: mother in law. They just don't want to be forced
• 42:45
  Speaker 14: to marry the Harry next door neighbor at the age
• 42:48
  Speaker 14: of twelve. So it just shows you the complete lack
• 42:51
  Speaker 14: of self awareness that Harry and Meghan have.
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: Absolutely and I've got a feeling that we're not going
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: to here any of those issues you mentioned, raise, the
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: treatment meeted out to young girls, the child brides, all
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: of that. I can't imagine it's going to be something
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: that Megan is going to be advocating. She did call
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: it my country. She's revealed she's forty three percent Nigerian
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: and she was very grateful to be home.
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: Well, they defined as an agerie woman is great resilient career.
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: A very single moment that I hear anyone so far.
• 43:43
  Speaker 5: I talk about what it means to be an agerie.
• 43:45
  Speaker 5: Woman is the most flabbortory entity in that company, to
• 43:48
  Speaker 5: be in your company.
• 43:50
  Speaker 7: So yes, it's been really.
• 43:52
  Speaker 12: High opening and homeland, you know, more on a heritage
• 43:56
  Speaker 12: and to you will you know, this is just the
• 43:57
  Speaker 12: beginning of that discovery.
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: There you go, Kinsey. She's brave and resilient and all
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: those wonderful qualities. But not everyone is happy that Harry
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: and Meghan are in town.
• 44:10
  Speaker 16: Look, nad I'm dying.
• 44:12
  Speaker 6: Everybody is frostleted. O.
• 44:13
  Speaker 16: My economic had chip and Prince Harry is coming on
• 44:16
  Speaker 16: the way from Britain to the Nazi to visit in Nigeria. See,
• 44:19
  Speaker 16: let me tell you if you seek my own opinion
• 44:22
  Speaker 16: and purples opinion in fact, conduct opinion poll is the
• 44:26
  Speaker 16: western of resources.
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: To let's say, welcome idea.
• 44:30
  Speaker 8: That's the truth.
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: You mentioned Meghan's fashion choices. She's drawn some criticism for
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: the frequent outfit changes and some of the fashion statements.
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: Is she trying to I don't know, have her Diana
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: fantasy with this tour, because we know we've heard from
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: her childhood friends that she was a fan.
• 44:56
  Speaker 14: Well, yeah, and I just want to stress Thomas Morcles
• 44:58
  Speaker 14: that he was surprised to find out that Meghan Mark
• 45:00
  Speaker 14: was forty three percent Nigerian and so she's one hundred
• 45:03
  Speaker 14: percent Californian. And there are still a lot of people
• 45:06
  Speaker 14: that remember when Meghan's Hollywood headshot said that she was
• 45:09
  Speaker 14: one hundred percent Caucasian as well. So you do you
• 45:12
  Speaker 14: girl whatever, I do think that she is trying to
• 45:15
  Speaker 14: look like a royal again. I think that the ultimate
• 45:17
  Speaker 14: objective is to win that respect back that they've lost
• 45:20
  Speaker 14: and they've become a joke, and not only the United
• 45:23
  Speaker 14: States but in the UK. I imagine it's similar in Australia,
• 45:27
  Speaker 14: and so they need the glitz, the gland, these photos
• 45:30
  Speaker 14: that remind people of why they fell in love with
• 45:33
  Speaker 14: them in the first place. But unfortunately they fallen too far.
• 45:37
  Speaker 14: We're not going to forget about their behavior to their
• 45:39
  Speaker 14: employees and the dying Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip. I
• 45:43
  Speaker 14: think that people have made up their minds about them.
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: Oh indeed, but Megan was ager to praise her husband
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: for being smart after he spoke to Nigerian's school children
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: about mental health and had's okay to have a bad day.
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: I've got to say, though, Kinsy, this is all a
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: bit too much. It's a bit too rich because you
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: mentioned some of the challenges in this country. They're real challenges.
• 46:11
  Speaker 7: Here.
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: You've got this pampered prince telling kids who have got
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: all sorts of issues he could never very even fatom,
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: and he's telling them about hardship, right.
• 46:23
  Speaker 14: And my favorite part is when she gets up, she
• 46:26
  Speaker 14: grabs Mike and she says, do you see why I
• 46:28
  Speaker 14: married him? And everybody cheers, and then she says it's
• 46:31
  Speaker 14: so inspiring because he speaks the truth. Rita, he would
• 46:35
  Speaker 14: not know the truth if it bit him on his
• 46:37
  Speaker 14: frost bit and Targer like the like they the irony.
• 46:41
  Speaker 14: I mean, these people are insane. I just like, who
• 46:45
  Speaker 14: is standing near them going, Oh, that's gonna be amazing.
• 46:47
  Speaker 14: Absolutely say that. You know they have two brand new publicists,
• 46:51
  Speaker 14: fire them immediately?
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, really no, that would you created all sorts
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: of imagery Theresey, that's disturbing. So let's move on to
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: something else. There's a concerning trend on social media of
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: celebrities being named and shamed for not being sufficiently anti Israel.
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: There's lists going around. Obviously targets like gal Gadotch, who's
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: a wonder woman who's Israeli, so obviously she's in the
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: bad books. But a surprising number of celebrities are on
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: this list, like Billie Eilish, you have made pro Palestinian
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: statements in the past, or statements calling for a ceasefire,
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: but to the activists, their statements aren't strong enough. Their condemnation,
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: their boycotts aren't strong enough. Who else is on this list?
• 47:47
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean you just saw Selena Godmers and Taylor Swift.
• 47:50
  Speaker 14: Selena Gomers has absolutely gotten in trouble for some of
• 47:53
  Speaker 14: her comments about Palestine. But I think that these are
• 47:57
  Speaker 14: people that have all of this time to raise hell
• 48:00
  Speaker 14: because they are unemployed. If they had jobs and had
• 48:03
  Speaker 14: to pay real bills, they wouldn't have time to write
• 48:05
  Speaker 14: with George Soros's Hollywood Extras program. And for most celebrities,
• 48:11
  Speaker 14: that status as a celebrity requires them to do jobs
• 48:14
  Speaker 14: like tour film movies, TV shows, audition. It'd be productive
• 48:18
  Speaker 14: ish members of society. And so no, Taylor Swift is
• 48:22
  Speaker 14: not going to stop in the middle of her Heiress
• 48:24
  Speaker 14: tour and complain about what's going on in Gaza because
• 48:27
  Speaker 14: she knows that she's got a job to do and honestly,
• 48:30
  Speaker 14: she might alienate a significant amount of her audience if
• 48:33
  Speaker 14: she does that. So this just feels like, well.
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: If you ask me, celebrities are too outspoken on political issues.
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: I'd rather hear less from them, not more. Kinsey Schofield,
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: thank you for your time this evening. That's it from
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: May Newsnight is up next. I'll see you at eleven tomorrow.
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: Good night,
