0:11
Speaker 1: Is the gold reward.
0:14
Speaker 2: Tonight the Treasurer confronted by anti cole extremists, just after
0:18
Speaker 2: Donald Trump makes fools of them both. Also tonight Trump
0:23
Speaker 2: shows Australia, here's the way of dealing with the legal
0:25
Speaker 2: immigrants who break the law and apartheid Australia half priced
0:30
Speaker 2: tickets at a government funded festival if you say you're Aboriginal.
0:34
Speaker 2: But first Peter Dutton have to say, looked scrappy today
0:40
Speaker 2: again and it would be very easy to now say
0:43
Speaker 2: the opposition leader is blowing it. And just before the election,
0:47
Speaker 2: which of course is the labor spin that's problem. Today
0:51
Speaker 2: was against again you loose language, this time talking about
0:54
Speaker 2: even seeming to promise a referendum to change the constitution
0:58
Speaker 2: to allow governments to deport people with dual citizenship convicted
1:02
Speaker 2: of serious crimes. Never mind that a referendum could actually
1:06
Speaker 2: cost four one hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
1:10
Speaker 3: If we believe that we want to keep people safe,
1:12
Speaker 3: if you want to keep your kids safe, and we
1:14
Speaker 3: want to keep kids safe in our community, then I
1:16
Speaker 3: don't think you can put a price on that. But
1:18
Speaker 3: you can deal with community safety at the same time
1:21
Speaker 3: that you can make good economic decisions to help people
1:23
Speaker 3: deal with labours. You know, thirty percent increase in grocery prices?
1:28
Speaker 2: Did I say four to fifty thousand? Try four hundred
1:30
Speaker 2: and fifty million. But within a couple of hours's Shadow
1:34
Speaker 2: Attorney General Kaulia Cash was cleaning up say oh look, look,
1:37
Speaker 2: we have no plans to hold a referendum of this stage.
1:41
Speaker 2: Would only look to that option as a last resort.
1:44
Speaker 2: The Prime Minister of the pounced.
1:46
Speaker 4: Well, this is another thought bubble from Peter Dutton that
1:50
Speaker 4: hasn't made it to lunchtime this morning. You had Peter
1:53
Speaker 4: Dutton on one TV channel calling for a referendum, Mcallia
1:57
Speaker 4: Cash on another TV channel ruling it out. This has
2:01
Speaker 4: not been thought through.
2:03
Speaker 2: Now there wasn't actually a big contradiction between Dutton and Cash.
2:07
Speaker 2: There to be fair, unlike the complete mess about Dutton's
2:11
Speaker 2: recent threat to force Insurance Chance to sell off part
2:14
Speaker 2: of their businesses if they ripped off customers. Oh no,
2:18
Speaker 2: we won't do that. It is a shadow treasure and
2:21
Speaker 2: we still don't quite know what the policy really is,
2:24
Speaker 2: so an air of sloppiness. Really, you add also the
2:28
Speaker 2: lack of policy, you know, a reason to vote for
2:32
Speaker 2: the Liberals, not just against Labor. You could add also
2:36
Speaker 2: the fact that promoting just Internampa jimper Price to be
2:39
Speaker 2: spokesman for governm efficiency is so far resulted in nothing.
2:43
Speaker 2: Add that other stuff and you'll understand a little nervousness
2:48
Speaker 2: now in the opposition, especially with Poles producing headlines like
2:51
Speaker 2: this in the Guardian today Albanezis scores highest approval rating
2:56
Speaker 2: in almost eighteen months, a support for Dutton's slips, and
3:00
Speaker 2: it is true Albanesi is a bit more popular, not
3:04
Speaker 2: surprising after milking ex Cycle and Alfred and after attacking
3:07
Speaker 2: Donald Trump's Tarif attacks, you know, standing up for Australia
3:13
Speaker 2: that said reality check and you know that's without denying. Yes,
3:18
Speaker 2: the Liberals have got to step up first. None of
3:23
Speaker 2: the poles actually show the Liberals behind Labor, even the
3:26
Speaker 2: Guardian poles saying wow, Albanizi is much more popular. It's
3:30
Speaker 2: still found that after preferences the Coalition Labor were neck
3:33
Speaker 2: and neck at forty seven percent each with six percent undecided.
3:38
Speaker 2: So this is going to be an election decided in
3:40
Speaker 2: the campaign. And let's go back to the dishow I
3:43
Speaker 2: started with. You know all this terrible confusion over a
3:47
Speaker 2: referendum to change the constitutions to stop judges blocking politicians
3:51
Speaker 2: and throwing out dual citizens convicted of bad crimes. Is
3:55
Speaker 2: it yes?
3:55
Speaker 5: Is it no?
3:58
Speaker 2: It's really bad for the opposite to be caught out
4:01
Speaker 2: thinking about just this when you see the mayhem that
4:05
Speaker 2: the High Court has caused already by telling the government
4:08
Speaker 2: has got to even set free foreign murderers and rapists
4:11
Speaker 2: and a pedophile, all of whom refused to go home
4:15
Speaker 2: and couldn't be forced to. And you contrast the weakness
4:21
Speaker 2: today over foreign criminals here to what Donald Trump is
4:25
Speaker 2: doing in the US parading alleged Venezuelan gang members of
4:29
Speaker 2: legal immigrants and flying them to a jail and El Salvador,
4:34
Speaker 2: even with a judge saying hey, hey, hey, you can't
4:36
Speaker 2: do that. How about this contrast. We had at least
4:41
Speaker 2: six Australians last month attending the funeral in Lebanon of
4:45
Speaker 2: the leader of the Hesbela terrorist group. Australians like this
4:49
Speaker 2: Sydney preacher, the man on the left. We had a
4:51
Speaker 2: prime seat there, right to the front and back home.
4:54
Speaker 2: This guy posts pictures of the yellow flags of this
4:57
Speaker 2: Hesbelo terrorist group and he gets Albaniazy government money to
5:01
Speaker 2: teach young Muslim scouts. We don't know the citizen of
5:06
Speaker 2: citizenship or legal status of those six Australians at that
5:09
Speaker 2: terrorist funeral, but our government led all those Hesbula supporters
5:14
Speaker 2: back into the country. In contrast, Trump's United States has
5:20
Speaker 2: just banned the return of someone else who was at
5:22
Speaker 2: that same funeral, kidney transplant specialists, a professor no less,
5:26
Speaker 2: who had a valid visa but was expelled as a
5:30
Speaker 2: HESBLA fangirl. Now I'm certainly not saying that should go
5:36
Speaker 2: the Trump. I've long warned that you should keep his distance.
5:39
Speaker 2: In fact, seeming too keen on Trump, I think has
5:42
Speaker 2: heard him a bit in the polls, but is done
5:45
Speaker 2: really wrong. To be frustrated with judges forcing us to
5:49
Speaker 2: put up with foreign criminals, is that really blowing the election? Already?
5:56
Speaker 2: Take a chill pill. I mean, winning this election was
5:58
Speaker 2: always going to be a huge shop for st giving
6:00
Speaker 2: the coalition smash just three years ago. But the Coalition
6:03
Speaker 2: under Dutton is right back in the fight with everything
6:07
Speaker 2: to win in the campaign. So to the Liberals, I'd say,
6:09
Speaker 2: do not get wobbly, get working. It's hard to believe
6:18
Speaker 2: that our powerses and crumbling around our ears. The Alvenzy
6:20
Speaker 2: government still not green enough to please global warming fanatics.
6:25
Speaker 2: Even there are countries now dangerously short of electricity and
6:29
Speaker 2: gas too. Anti fossil fuel protesters still interrupted treasure of
6:33
Speaker 2: Jim Charmers pre budget speech of the Queensland Press Club today.
6:38
Speaker 2: First there was this idiot Australia.
6:41
Speaker 4: Cannot afford any more climate disasters, the intensity of those.
6:45
Speaker 6: When will the Labor Party stop funding more coal and
6:49
Speaker 6: gas projects?
6:50
Speaker 7: Thank you mates, I figure thanks.
6:53
Speaker 4: When will the Labor Party stopped pulling pole?
6:56
Speaker 8: When will stop plumbing.
7:02
Speaker 2: The baggage?
7:02
Speaker 1: Out?
7:03
Speaker 2: Throw him out? And there was this this woman also
7:06
Speaker 2: arrogant enough to shout down someone else's speech, powers.
7:12
Speaker 9: That eight days without power, the young people of this
7:15
Speaker 9: nation are going to suffer for the rest of their lives.
7:18
Speaker 2: Where is Labor going to stop funding and approving?
7:20
Speaker 1: You calling gas?
7:22
Speaker 2: You cannot say you were dealing with the disaster while
7:25
Speaker 2: you're funding. Ah, these people so arrogant. But you know,
7:31
Speaker 2: Jim Chalmers's speech was itself a distraction from reality. Chalmers
7:37
Speaker 2: was once again up there blaming the rest of the
7:39
Speaker 2: world and not himself, for the fact that he's failed.
7:43
Speaker 2: Two years of budget surpluses are about to be followed
7:45
Speaker 2: by the first of a decade of budget deficits, despite
7:49
Speaker 2: the government pulling in more money than ever, and Charms
7:53
Speaker 2: today blamed, oh, this time was first excite plone Alfred
7:58
Speaker 2: that could actually send inflation up again.
8:02
Speaker 7: Could also lead to upward pressure on inflation from building
8:06
Speaker 7: costs to damaged crops, raising prices for staples like fruit
8:10
Speaker 7: and vegetables.
8:11
Speaker 2: James's other excuse today was that, oh, it's Donald Trump
8:15
Speaker 2: and miss tariff, for which the OEC Yes now says
8:17
Speaker 2: is why Austra's growth next to you is expected to
8:21
Speaker 2: crash to just one point eight percent annually, way down
8:25
Speaker 2: from the expected two and a half percent.
8:28
Speaker 7: Trade barriers are a key reason why It's economists now
8:32
Speaker 7: expect slower growth and they think inflation will linger for
8:35
Speaker 7: longer across the globe.
8:38
Speaker 1: The risk of.
8:38
Speaker 7: Recession in the world's largest economy is rising as well,
8:42
Speaker 7: and all of this has consequences for us.
8:46
Speaker 2: Join me is SCAE News Business editor Ross Greenwood. Ross
8:51
Speaker 2: green will thank you so much for your time. Ross.
8:53
Speaker 2: I've got to say my heart goes out to Jim
8:56
Speaker 2: Charms every time it must be the unluckiest treasurer in
8:59
Speaker 2: the world, such a brilliant man. But then he's going
9:02
Speaker 2: to blame Russia, the war in Ukraine, inflation overseas, war
9:07
Speaker 2: in the Middle East, and travel in the US for
9:10
Speaker 2: our inflation, our terrible growth and now of course you know,
9:13
Speaker 2: deficits again. His latest excuses today ex Cyclone Alfred and
9:20
Speaker 2: Donald Trump. Is this be just unlucky or is he
9:23
Speaker 2: a failure once again looking for excuses?
9:26
Speaker 10: Unluckiest treasure in the world or according to Chris Richardson,
9:30
Speaker 10: the luckiest treasure in the world because of the amount
9:33
Speaker 10: of money that has come into the coffers since he
9:36
Speaker 10: has become the treasurer and of course under the Prime
9:39
Speaker 10: Minister Anthony Albernezi and He's ministers, they've managed to spend
9:43
Speaker 10: a big wedge of that, although he says they.
9:45
Speaker 2: Have put a lot of it aside.
9:47
Speaker 10: But the reality is that Australia does not have a
9:50
Speaker 10: budget surplus or a profit in store for the next
9:53
Speaker 10: ten years, which is more than a normal economic cycle
9:56
Speaker 10: of seven years. So the reality is when you say
9:59
Speaker 10: looking for excuses, well, the latest one is cyclone al
10:02
Speaker 10: for it, which he says is going to clip a
10:04
Speaker 10: quarter of a percent of economic growth and could push
10:07
Speaker 10: inflation up. Not the fact, of course, that the government
10:11
Speaker 10: itself is actually increasing inflation through its own spending.
10:15
Speaker 2: You'll never hear that. It must be the supermarket's fault.
10:18
Speaker 2: It must be somebody else's fault. It can't be house spending.
10:21
Speaker 10: It can't be the fact that we have clipped so
10:23
Speaker 10: much money out of taxpayers' pockets by bracket creep because
10:27
Speaker 10: of inflation, that we've got so much money so now. Really,
10:31
Speaker 10: there seems to be to me a disconnect between the government,
10:36
Speaker 10: which is spending a lot of money, and households on
10:38
Speaker 10: the other side that have had to really cut their costs.
10:41
Speaker 2: And work harder in more than one.
10:44
Speaker 10: Job simply because of course the government is taking a
10:47
Speaker 10: bigger bite out of their salaries.
10:52
Speaker 2: His search for excuses, I think it's running out of
10:55
Speaker 2: inventiveness here. I thought he had a brilliant or purpose
10:59
Speaker 2: excuse today, something he calls volatility, whatever that means. He
11:04
Speaker 2: was asked about Labour's big promise of the last selection,
11:07
Speaker 2: that is, global warming schemes would cut everyone's electricity bills
11:10
Speaker 2: by two hundred and seventy five dollars per household, when
11:13
Speaker 2: in fact everyone knows have gone up and up and
11:15
Speaker 2: up and up. Here's this excuse today.
11:19
Speaker 7: The number that you're referring to, which we all used
11:22
Speaker 7: on a number of occasions, was a forecast in twenty
11:25
Speaker 7: twenty one about an outcome in twenty twenty five. And
11:29
Speaker 7: I think for a lot of the reasons that I've
11:31
Speaker 7: run through in my speech today, but also particular to
11:33
Speaker 7: the energy market, there's been a lot of uncertainty, a
11:36
Speaker 7: lot of volatility between twenty one and twenty twenty five.
11:41
Speaker 2: What's actually saying there? What is the excuse volatility uncertainty?
11:46
Speaker 2: What does that mean?
11:47
Speaker 10: And just a small one for you, where is the
11:49
Speaker 10: volatility anymore today than it was there in twenty twenty one?
11:54
Speaker 10: And remember in twenty twenty one they were going to
11:56
Speaker 10: immediately try and close all the qualifired power stations, are
11:59
Speaker 10: going to bring all of that forward. They've now had
12:01
Speaker 10: to push that back because they realize that will just
12:03
Speaker 10: create more unsettlement or dissettlement in the energy markets and
12:09
Speaker 10: will potentially cause a lack of energy. So the reality
12:14
Speaker 10: is that this problem of energy is going to haunt
12:17
Speaker 10: this government for a long long time. Fundamentally, the bigger
12:20
Speaker 10: problem here is not just the builds that households applying.
12:24
Speaker 10: It's about the lack of competitiveness for Australian business. And
12:28
Speaker 10: so when I go and talk to business leaders now,
12:30
Speaker 10: who are telling me, because of energy policy, because of
12:33
Speaker 10: industrial relations policy, because of tax policy, and the lack
12:37
Speaker 10: of movement on all these things, that Australia is becoming
12:41
Speaker 10: uncompetitive and they're going to put their investment overseas. That
12:45
Speaker 10: means jobs overseas, That means Australian investment overseas. They're looking
12:50
Speaker 10: for places where they can make a bigger bang for
12:52
Speaker 10: their buck. That's not Australia, sadly, that is in the
12:56
Speaker 10: United States.
12:57
Speaker 2: And just finally, rossh the speech today, what did it
13:01
Speaker 2: tell you about what to expect from the budget next week?
13:05
Speaker 10: Well, there's nothing to expect from the budget next week.
13:07
Speaker 10: They didn't expect to give a budget next week, so
13:10
Speaker 10: they were fully expecting to go to an election in
13:12
Speaker 10: early April, but a cyclone Alfred obviously blew that out
13:16
Speaker 10: the window. The second thing is that Jim Charmer's office,
13:19
Speaker 10: it would appear to me, really have got nothing to
13:23
Speaker 10: offer and they now have to open themselves up to
13:26
Speaker 10: their spending and to the debts which Australia is going
13:29
Speaker 10: to go into, which are of labors making. Because Antony Albanezi,
13:35
Speaker 10: through say free doctor's visits and other bits and pieces,
13:38
Speaker 10: he's announced new roads everywhere. All the fact of the
13:40
Speaker 10: matter is he's already announced all this stuff.
13:42
Speaker 11: So there's not really.
13:43
Speaker 10: That many chocolates for Jim Charmers to hand out in
13:45
Speaker 10: the budget next week.
13:48
Speaker 2: A bit more, a few more giveaways, maybe some free
13:52
Speaker 2: cash were taking from one of your pockets to put
13:55
Speaker 2: in the other for our screen. Would always good to
13:59
Speaker 2: talk to you, Thank you, good stuff. Andrew back to
14:03
Speaker 2: those protests today, great crushing Jim Chalmer's speech and demanding
14:08
Speaker 2: no more coal, no more gas. They've just been shown
14:11
Speaker 2: up as even greater fools by Donald Trump. So it's
14:15
Speaker 2: a treasure, Astid. It's just thing today we had to
14:17
Speaker 2: move away from colon gas. Even if you didn't quite
14:19
Speaker 2: like the question.
14:21
Speaker 6: We had a few unexpected guests earlier today and they
14:26
Speaker 6: were asking you when we'll labor stop approving new colon
14:30
Speaker 6: gas projects.
14:31
Speaker 7: Well, I don't think it's a good idea to reward
14:32
Speaker 7: that kind of behavior by asking their questions for them.
14:37
Speaker 7: What we're trying to do is to strike the right balance,
14:40
Speaker 7: recognizing that we can make ourselves an indispensable part of
14:44
Speaker 7: the global net zero economy.
14:47
Speaker 2: In fact, early today US President Donald Trump went in
14:51
Speaker 2: exactly the opposite direction, posting that after years of being
14:54
Speaker 2: held captive by environmental extremists, lunatics, radicals and thugs, showing
15:00
Speaker 2: other countries, in particular China, to gain tremendous economic advantage
15:04
Speaker 2: over US by opening up hundreds of all coal fire
15:08
Speaker 2: power plants, I am authorizing my administration to immediately begin
15:14
Speaker 2: producing energy with beautiful, clean coal. Joining me is Tuesday
15:19
Speaker 2: regular commentator Nationals Front pitcher Matt Canavan, the former Resources Minister. Matt,
15:24
Speaker 2: What an interesting announcement by Donald Trump. It just completes
15:28
Speaker 2: the try effect. You've got China already building two new
15:31
Speaker 2: coal fired power stations a week. You've got India also
15:34
Speaker 2: building more, not as many, but still building more. Now
15:37
Speaker 2: the US will be building more. Meanwhile, here in Australia,
15:41
Speaker 2: we're almost destroying every one of our remaining ones over
15:44
Speaker 2: the next decade.
15:45
Speaker 1: Why well, Andrew, it's very concerning.
15:49
Speaker 12: You should be concerned news for all Australians because already
15:53
Speaker 12: under this labor government.
15:54
Speaker 1: Our nation is de industrializing before.
15:56
Speaker 12: Our eyes, and we're now going to get left behind
16:00
Speaker 12: even further on energy costs, on energy competitiveness, and that
16:03
Speaker 12: will destroy what's left of our manufacturing industry unless we
16:08
Speaker 12: turn these things around. I mean, you're right, So this
16:10
Speaker 12: is not just about Donald Trump's decision. China is building
16:13
Speaker 12: one hundred and sixty two coal fire power stations as sorry,
16:16
Speaker 12: one sixty one as we speak, one sixty one cold
16:18
Speaker 12: fire powerstations. India thirty two could fire powerstations. Indonesia fourteen,
16:24
Speaker 12: Vietnam and the Philippines are building five coal fire power
16:26
Speaker 12: stations each, and now the United States might be joining
16:29
Speaker 12: that party. Not only are we silly and stupid enough
16:33
Speaker 12: to not use our own coal resources while other countries do,
16:36
Speaker 12: we actually send coal to many of those countries to
16:39
Speaker 12: fuel their power stations that they're building to take our jobs,
16:44
Speaker 12: to take our industries. We've already lost our nickel industry
16:46
Speaker 12: to Indonesia because they're building cheap coal fired power stations
16:50
Speaker 12: are undermining the costs of production of Australian nickel. How
16:54
Speaker 12: many more industries do we have to lose before our
16:57
Speaker 12: nation wakes up that we are still trying to stay
17:01
Speaker 12: at a party that everyone else has left. It's all
17:05
Speaker 12: very depressing now, this net zero party, all the green
17:08
Speaker 12: buntings left over the floor, just like all climate rallies.
17:11
Speaker 12: Now one picks up their rubbish and where the ones
17:14
Speaker 12: left holding the can here?
17:16
Speaker 1: Unless we do something about it quickly.
17:18
Speaker 12: I think we should put Australians first, because nothing we
17:21
Speaker 12: do is going to change any temperature of the globe.
17:23
Speaker 12: We're we're not going to change the temperature go one
17:26
Speaker 12: ioda by not building a cold fire POWERstation. But if
17:29
Speaker 12: we do build some new cheap cold fire powerstations, we
17:32
Speaker 12: just may save manufacturing jobs in this country, bring down
17:36
Speaker 12: the cost of energy, and bring down the cost of
17:38
Speaker 12: everyday goods for Australians.
17:41
Speaker 2: It's amazing. We were told, well, yes, we know the
17:43
Speaker 2: destroyer won't make any difference on its own, but we're
17:45
Speaker 2: setting a good example for the rest of the world
17:47
Speaker 2: to follow. We've just mentioned India, US and chain it
17:52
Speaker 2: between them. That's half the world's emissions right there. They're
17:55
Speaker 2: not finally our leader. I'm not quite sure who would
17:57
Speaker 2: try and repress the government is instead, though, Matt trying
18:02
Speaker 2: to get a lot more solar farms built even though
18:05
Speaker 2: it's unreliable energy, and even though five solar farms in
18:09
Speaker 2: Victoria owned by a company called Sungrow have been told
18:12
Speaker 2: to shut down until they mow the grass after one
18:16
Speaker 2: started a grass fo It's been alarming if we're dropping
18:21
Speaker 2: all these solar farms all around our combustible bush.
18:26
Speaker 12: Well, I just wish we wish listen to people on
18:29
Speaker 12: the ground, Andrew, who.
18:30
Speaker 1: Know the risks of bushfires.
18:32
Speaker 12: The people I speak to in real fire service organizations
18:35
Speaker 12: have been raising these issues for some time, about the
18:38
Speaker 12: risk of wind turbines, exploding, solar farms YESCA contributing heat
18:44
Speaker 12: and catching combusting things around it, and batteries of course
18:47
Speaker 12: as well, have already caused a number of fires around
18:50
Speaker 12: the country, and none of these warnings seem to be
18:53
Speaker 12: taken seriously or there's not proper plans put in place.
18:56
Speaker 12: And as it stands, I'd much prefer to have a
18:59
Speaker 12: nuclear POWERstation in my backyard than some of these fire
19:03
Speaker 12: prone solar factories battery factories that are just going and
19:06
Speaker 12: willing nilly without any planning around our country. These are
19:09
Speaker 12: really big risks to our nation. They're destroying so much
19:12
Speaker 12: of our beautiful, pristine natural environment.
19:14
Speaker 1: And they're not even lowering power prices to boot.
19:17
Speaker 12: I mean, how hopeless was Jim Chalmer's excuse there about
19:20
Speaker 12: his promise to lower power prices by two hundred and
19:22
Speaker 12: seventy five dollars. They said that investing in renewable energy
19:25
Speaker 12: would lower your power bills. Instead, your power bills have
19:28
Speaker 12: gone up by triple what they promised to reduce them by.
19:32
Speaker 1: It is an absolute joke.
19:34
Speaker 12: And if we keep doubling down on this fail policy,
19:37
Speaker 12: well we just meet the definition of insanity, don't we.
19:41
Speaker 2: Well, you mentioned the desecration of the bush to make
19:44
Speaker 2: way for all these facilities, because obviously with wind farms
19:47
Speaker 2: and any lot more a lot more land to produce
19:50
Speaker 2: the equivalent power, even though it's unreliable to a cul
19:53
Speaker 2: fired POWERstation, for instance, or a nuclear one. I'll show
19:56
Speaker 2: you one example. This green movement, is supposedly a green movement,
20:01
Speaker 2: is actually sending bulldozers into the forest now of Lotus Creek,
20:05
Speaker 2: as in Queensland's Connor's Range Southern Macay, ripping down this
20:10
Speaker 2: Koala habitat to make and this is just for the
20:14
Speaker 2: first four of forty six giant wind towels that will
20:18
Speaker 2: dominate the landscape. Can you tell me on what planet
20:23
Speaker 2: is this supposed to be a green alternative?
20:28
Speaker 12: Yeah, well it's I don't think it's a planet in
20:31
Speaker 12: this universe, Andrew. I think these green nutcases are living
20:35
Speaker 12: in some parallel universe to the rest of us. The
20:39
Speaker 12: Lotus Creek is just north of where I'm from here tonight.
20:42
Speaker 12: It's a beautiful, pristine part of this country. And you know,
20:46
Speaker 12: I've always been advocate to develop our nation, but I
20:48
Speaker 12: never want to see rainforests destroyed in this fashion.
20:52
Speaker 1: The greens don't seem to care.
20:54
Speaker 12: It's very sad that those people who purport to protect
20:58
Speaker 12: the environment just silent on all this, presumably seemingly because
21:01
Speaker 12: it's just the money and they're addicted to these projects
21:04
Speaker 12: and they can't they can't stand.
21:05
Speaker 1: Up for their principles.
21:06
Speaker 12: But I know a lot of locals up there at
21:08
Speaker 12: Low's Creeker doing that and doing their best to fight
21:10
Speaker 12: against this. So I mean, as one of them said
21:11
Speaker 12: to me last year, we're not going to save the
21:14
Speaker 12: polar bear by killing the koala bear. We should protect
21:18
Speaker 12: our own natural environment, the beautiful creatures. Yes, it sums
21:23
Speaker 12: it up doesn't it. That's what's happening right now. But
21:26
Speaker 12: mag hold are we doing this?
21:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't start repeating that polar bear fraud of a scare,
21:34
Speaker 2: because we know about that one that was the polar
21:37
Speaker 2: Bear was only getting I think it's actually going to
21:40
Speaker 2: a number of surveys getting there, growing just quickly from
21:44
Speaker 2: the time. I just want to ask you quickly. The
21:46
Speaker 2: Reserve Bank is changing the five dollar bill. It's going
21:49
Speaker 2: to get rid of the portrait of the queen and
21:51
Speaker 2: replace it not with the king, but with an aboriginal design.
21:54
Speaker 2: Even though the back of the note will really includes
21:56
Speaker 2: some aboriginal designs. The Reserve Bank says, well, the queen
21:58
Speaker 2: is going because the imagery on five dollar bank note
22:01
Speaker 2: should recognize the enduring connection the first nation's people had
22:04
Speaker 2: to country as an emotional and spiritual connection as much
22:07
Speaker 2: as a physical one. Look that it seems to me
22:10
Speaker 2: the Reserve Bank romanticizing a little bit of metaphysics, playing
22:14
Speaker 2: race politics. I don't think that's appropriate. Do you think
22:18
Speaker 2: we've been the fifty.
22:19
Speaker 12: Dollars another examples an averaging inventor. Yeah, I was going
22:24
Speaker 12: to raise that very point. We already have on the
22:26
Speaker 12: two dollar coin. And that's appropriate. But I think it's
22:29
Speaker 12: also appropriate that one of our banknotes has the head
22:32
Speaker 12: of State of Australia, which is the whoever is the
22:35
Speaker 12: monarch of England at the time. The Australian people voted
22:37
Speaker 12: on this twenty five years or so ago, and voted
22:41
Speaker 12: were overwhelmingly in favor of keeping the head of state
22:44
Speaker 12: as the British Crown, and we should reflect that on
22:47
Speaker 12: our banknotes. And this is just another example of corporate
22:49
Speaker 12: activism which seeks to take away the sovereign rights of
22:52
Speaker 12: the Australian people and invest them in unelected people in
22:57
Speaker 12: boardrooms who are unaccountable to the Australian people. And I
23:01
Speaker 12: think Australians have had enough of it. We saw that
23:03
Speaker 12: in the Voice referendum. They've had enough of corporate, their
23:06
Speaker 12: corporate to so called betters telling them how to live.
23:09
Speaker 12: And why doesn't the RBA just focus on as interest
23:11
Speaker 12: rate policies. It's completely stuffed up inflation over the last years,
23:15
Speaker 12: through their own admission they've stuffed that up. Why don't
23:18
Speaker 12: they focus on that instead of going instead of employing
23:21
Speaker 12: seemingly active as political activists to run an agenda that
23:24
Speaker 12: none of us want.
23:26
Speaker 2: Well, they'll be saying that they have to choose a
23:28
Speaker 2: design for a note to it. But I would say,
23:31
Speaker 2: why don't they focus on things that united is not
23:34
Speaker 2: race politics that tends to divide. Matt Canavan, thank you
23:36
Speaker 2: so much, indeed for your time. Before we get to
23:39
Speaker 2: the break, We've got to say news today. Israel has
23:42
Speaker 2: resumed the war against the Maas terrorists in the Gaza Strip.
23:45
Speaker 2: It was after a six week cease fire. Israel is
23:48
Speaker 2: of course going to be blamed for the usual suspects,
23:51
Speaker 2: but you got to ask what option they had. I mean,
23:53
Speaker 2: Hamas was refusing an American deal to swap more Jewish
23:56
Speaker 2: hostages that it's held now for a year and a
23:58
Speaker 2: half for Palesini is jailed in Israel in two weeks
24:03
Speaker 2: from US. Has not released any of the twenty four
24:06
Speaker 2: Israeli hostages still holds who are alive or the thirty
24:09
Speaker 2: five who are believed dead. I have really seen how
24:12
Speaker 2: many fighters SAMAS still has ready for the next attack
24:16
Speaker 2: on Israel after the break the other war in Ukraine.
24:19
Speaker 2: Trump will tonight negotiate directly with Russian President of Vladimir
24:24
Speaker 2: Putin for a ceasefire, and this would get ugly. Donald
24:31
Speaker 2: Trump will negotiate directly with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin a
24:37
Speaker 2: few hours from now, really about a ceasefire. Three years
24:40
Speaker 2: after Putin's Russia invaded Ukraine for the second time, and
24:45
Speaker 2: they're going to divide what's left of Ukraine, much like
24:47
Speaker 2: Hitler and Bridge Bremners and Neville Chamberlain divided Czechoslovaki. You're
24:51
Speaker 2: in only thirty eight to supposedly end Hitler's aggression.
24:56
Speaker 13: I'll be speaking to your president Putna on Tuesday. A
25:00
Speaker 13: lot of a lot of worksmen done over the weekend.
25:04
Speaker 13: We want to see if we can bring that word
25:06
Speaker 13: to an end. Maybe we can, maybe we can't, but
25:09
Speaker 13: I think we have a very good chance.
25:11
Speaker 1: What sort of concessions will we be seeking to have
25:14
Speaker 1: put make to get a deal done?
25:16
Speaker 13: Well, I think we'll, you know, be talking about land.
25:20
Speaker 2: It's a lot of land.
25:21
Speaker 13: There's a lot different than it was before the war.
25:25
Speaker 2: Now, Trump says has already got Putin to east back
25:30
Speaker 2: and not kill the Ukrainian soldiers that Trump keeps saying
25:34
Speaker 2: a cut off in Russian territory round Kursk, although Ukraine
25:37
Speaker 2: denies they are in fact surrounded. Putino is actually stalling
25:41
Speaker 2: for time. He says there can't be any cease far
25:44
Speaker 2: unless he gets exactly what he wanted from the start,
25:47
Speaker 2: like new leaders in Ukraine, like no security arrangements to
25:52
Speaker 2: protect Ukraine, like NATO, so that Putin then can stroll
25:57
Speaker 2: in and take the rest of Ukraine later.
26:00
Speaker 1: Sago last name prect is nor is.
26:08
Speaker 2: Pre karashin log which they kim Katur Dolgas Romilus. Europe
26:23
Speaker 2: though doesn't trust Putin not to invade Ukraine a third time,
26:28
Speaker 2: and so Britain will on Thursday host a meeting of
26:31
Speaker 2: military chiefs from about thirty allies of Ukraine to plan
26:35
Speaker 2: how to commit peacekeeping troops collectively instead of America commit
26:40
Speaker 2: them to Ukraine if there is a piece deal. Joining
26:43
Speaker 2: me is Sean Spicer, the first White House spokesman for
26:46
Speaker 2: President Donald Trump. Sean Spicer, great to see you again. Look,
26:51
Speaker 2: I still can't read where Donald Trump is going here.
26:53
Speaker 2: Is it to sell out Ukraine or to save it?
26:56
Speaker 2: What's your call?
26:59
Speaker 11: Oh, I don't think any question in my mind. To
27:01
Speaker 11: save it.
27:02
Speaker 5: He's having these conversations in the hopes of ending the
27:05
Speaker 5: destruction and the killing.
27:08
Speaker 11: He is the only one that's able to do this.
27:10
Speaker 5: He is the only one that Putin will respect, and
27:12
Speaker 5: Putin will understand that if you cross a line after
27:16
Speaker 5: it's settled with Donald Trump, there will be consequences. He
27:18
Speaker 5: knows that he's scared of them, He respects them, and
27:21
Speaker 5: I think he keeps him on edge and for that
27:22
Speaker 5: reason alone, I know, even if it's just because Donald
27:26
Speaker 5: Trump doesn't want his ego bruised, Donald Trump doesn't want
27:29
Speaker 5: I mean when he puts this deal down with Putin,
27:33
Speaker 5: ultimately he will not allow for Putin to take an
27:37
Speaker 5: inch more than is agreed to.
27:42
Speaker 2: That's well, that for me is absolutely the key here.
27:45
Speaker 2: So we shall see. Donald Trump keeps saying he wants
27:50
Speaker 2: Canada to become America's fifty first state. Now, Kenada's new
27:54
Speaker 2: premience of Marc County has just met the King in London.
27:58
Speaker 2: The King was wearing Canadian colors, or maybe that was
28:01
Speaker 2: a coincidence and the county city could also. He also
28:05
Speaker 2: said he could not negotiate with Donald Trump about anything
28:07
Speaker 2: Americas there for in Canada unless Trump stopped threatening to
28:12
Speaker 2: take it over here he is.
28:15
Speaker 1: We've called out those comments. They will have to stop
28:17
Speaker 1: before we sit down and have a conversation.
28:19
Speaker 6: About our broader partnership with the United States.
28:24
Speaker 2: Set Spasif why does Stonald Trump keep saying he wants Canada?
28:28
Speaker 2: What's that about?
28:31
Speaker 11: He did?
28:31
Speaker 5: Look, this is a negotiating tactic, I think, especially with
28:34
Speaker 5: former Prime Minister Trudeau, just to you know, minimize him
28:39
Speaker 5: in these talks. I get what Prime Minister Cartey's doing.
28:43
Speaker 5: He's got to stand up for the Canadian people. But
28:46
Speaker 5: this probably wasn't the smartest way to start this. You're
28:48
Speaker 5: almost encouraging Trump to continue to go forward now. Just
28:51
Speaker 5: to be clear, based on how Canada votes, I am
28:55
Speaker 5: not in support of it becoming the fifty first state.
28:57
Speaker 5: That being said, uh, look, I think that making this
29:02
Speaker 5: telling Donald Trump there's conditions to having a conversation, which
29:06
Speaker 5: is not a smart way to begin this relationship. I
29:09
Speaker 5: have a feeling that Prime Minister Carney, who is known
29:12
Speaker 5: more as a technocrat than a politician, may have some
29:15
Speaker 5: early tough going if he continues down this line of rhetoric.
29:21
Speaker 2: Well, let's not forget has never actually stood for election.
29:24
Speaker 2: He still hasn't got a seat in the Canadian Parliament
29:26
Speaker 2: and his Prime minister so that's amazing. But I have
29:28
Speaker 2: to warn I have to warn the Trump administration. He
29:32
Speaker 2: I'm short Donald Trump. By doing this, he is making
29:36
Speaker 2: that useless left wing government more and more electable. Their
29:41
Speaker 2: poll numbers are shooting up because they they seem to
29:44
Speaker 2: be standing against Donald Trump, just like the Labor Party
29:47
Speaker 2: here seems to be benefiting from it. But I have
29:51
Speaker 2: to say Donald Trump has had a stunning success in
29:55
Speaker 2: slashing the number of immigrants crossing America's southern border. It
30:00
Speaker 2: is just paraded and had shaved and had sent to
30:05
Speaker 2: El Salvador more than two hundred alleged members of Venezuela
30:08
Speaker 2: and crime gang. And he did it even after a
30:11
Speaker 2: judge ordered the planes to be turned around. The judge said, oh,
30:15
Speaker 2: these flights are unlawful. What's going on there?
30:19
Speaker 11: Well, first of all, I think there's some legal question.
30:21
Speaker 5: I'm not a lawyer, but at least according to the
30:23
Speaker 5: White House, that they question whether or not that the
30:26
Speaker 5: judges written order was in effect when the planes went
30:30
Speaker 5: into international airspace. That obviously will be further decided and
30:35
Speaker 5: adjudicated by a judge. But the bottom line is this,
30:37
Speaker 5: regardless of what the judge ultimately decides, I think what
30:41
Speaker 5: the Trump administration has done is put the left in
30:44
Speaker 5: the media.
30:45
Speaker 11: They're friends in the media in a very tough place.
30:48
Speaker 11: Are you going to argue for Ms.
30:50
Speaker 5: Thirteen and Trende Alagoa alargoa gang members, killers, rapists, murderers
30:58
Speaker 5: to come back to the United States to go free.
31:01
Speaker 11: Is that where you want to stand it.
31:02
Speaker 5: He's forcing those folks to basically argue in support of
31:07
Speaker 5: these known gang members, these criminals, these people who have
31:10
Speaker 5: perpetrated crimes and Americans.
31:12
Speaker 11: And it was a sort of a brilliant.
31:13
Speaker 5: Tactical move, which is to put to make them have
31:17
Speaker 5: to choose between keeping Americans safe and arguing for the
31:21
Speaker 5: rights of these people who have committed crimes in America.
31:27
Speaker 2: See, do you think the Trump administration deliberately flouted the
31:31
Speaker 2: judge's verbal order? It wasn't in the written order turned
31:35
Speaker 2: the planes back. He just said it verbally in court.
31:37
Speaker 2: Do you think they deliberately flouted that to try and
31:40
Speaker 2: put this on the line.
31:43
Speaker 11: You know, I don't know.
31:44
Speaker 5: I think some people have already tried to start reading
31:46
Speaker 5: off the timeline when the judge issued the verbal issue
31:49
Speaker 5: versus the written as I stated a moment ago Andrew,
31:53
Speaker 5: I'm not a lawyer, so I don't know what is
31:55
Speaker 5: the legal effect of a verbal you know, warning from
31:59
Speaker 5: the bench versus the written declaration. I don't know what
32:02
Speaker 5: the precedent is from that, but I so I don't.
32:05
Speaker 5: I want to give them the benefit of the doubt.
32:07
Speaker 5: According to Caroline Lovett today at the White House briefing,
32:10
Speaker 5: she says that they their lawyers felt very comfortable that
32:13
Speaker 5: they only needed to worry about the written order. I
32:16
Speaker 5: assume that's based on some kind of legal precedent and
32:19
Speaker 5: that the planes were cross into international airspace when that
32:23
Speaker 5: legal written order came out.
32:26
Speaker 11: If that's the case, then it's great timing.
32:28
Speaker 2: Seure and Spice are always great to talk to you.
32:30
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for your time.
32:33
Speaker 11: You met Andrew.
32:35
Speaker 2: After the break the late US on Apartheart Australia half
32:39
Speaker 2: priced tickets. If you say you are black, how did
32:42
Speaker 2: Australia get this racist? As if there's a fear now
32:52
Speaker 2: of being white, shame talk from school. Much better and
32:58
Speaker 2: nobler to say you are original. Some advantages too. This
33:02
Speaker 2: artist identify as as Aboriginal, so that's a colleague at
33:06
Speaker 2: Melbourne's Rising Festival, sponsored by the Labor Government and these
33:11
Speaker 2: two curated its Aboriginal Arts program. Last year. Now other
33:16
Speaker 2: Aborigines just like them can also get festival tickets at
33:21
Speaker 2: half the price paid by Whites and Asians just because
33:25
Speaker 2: of their race. It's so racist. This festival is actually
33:29
Speaker 2: sponsored by state government. It's this racist, and you were
33:32
Speaker 2: partheid in our own country. Meanwhile, the ABC has announced
33:38
Speaker 2: the thirty eight winners of its Haywire competition, and this
33:41
Speaker 2: time it's sponsored by the Albanizi Labor government for young leaders.
33:45
Speaker 2: No fewer than eight of those thirty eight winners identify
33:48
Speaker 2: as Aboriginal. Huge success rate, and they include this budding
33:52
Speaker 2: artist and this young woman who also has Indian and
33:57
Speaker 2: English heritage, and this global warming warrior also identifying as Aboriginal.
34:03
Speaker 2: And I don't doubt that she and the rest do
34:05
Speaker 2: have some average lances and very proud of them, that's lovely.
34:07
Speaker 2: I just wonder why they define themselves by the race
34:10
Speaker 2: of those ancestors and not the others in their family tree,
34:14
Speaker 2: or indeed define themselves by race at all. Who goes
34:16
Speaker 2: around and saying, oh, I'm white, I'm white and white
34:18
Speaker 2: or whatever. I really do think this race business is
34:21
Speaker 2: way out of hand and quite absurd now, but you
34:25
Speaker 2: ask where it comes from. Who teaches this. Well, there's
34:31
Speaker 2: a fascinating insight into just that. In the Victorian Curriculum
34:34
Speaker 2: Assessments authorities report on the best essays students wrote for
34:40
Speaker 2: Victoria's VCE English Exam last year. These examiners, state examiners
34:46
Speaker 2: say these are the best. Like this essay. I'll give
34:49
Speaker 2: you some extracts. We could be blamed for neglecting to
34:53
Speaker 2: ignore the effects our capitalist way of life had on
34:56
Speaker 2: the land, from bleaching corals to deforestation, to rising sea
35:01
Speaker 2: levels to raging fires. My people see the race thing here.
35:06
Speaker 2: My people have destroyed this land. Climate change has come
35:10
Speaker 2: to this country like we did before. It has cut
35:12
Speaker 2: our connections and like a picked flower sat in a vase,
35:16
Speaker 2: we and the land only have so much time left
35:19
Speaker 2: before we are lost to existence. The first people, Aborigines
35:25
Speaker 2: still hold tight to these connections. The threads are fraying,
35:30
Speaker 2: but they still hold on. They have been here through
35:33
Speaker 2: it all, witnessed our shortcomings. Webt for our sake talk
35:41
Speaker 2: about the race agenda. There Joining me is Kevin Donley Form,
35:44
Speaker 2: my teacher and author of Wake Up to Woke. Kevin,
35:47
Speaker 2: great to see you again. That essay singled out as
35:50
Speaker 2: a model by the Victorian Curriculum Assessment Authority. This is
35:53
Speaker 2: how you should write an essay. What does that tell you?
35:57
Speaker 1: Well, it's appalling.
35:58
Speaker 9: And you know, one of the extracts I have in
36:02
Speaker 9: front of me, it has a Year twelve student arguing
36:05
Speaker 9: in the essay and parents and you would understand. I'm
36:10
Speaker 9: sure your viewers, Year twelve is fundamentally important in terms
36:14
Speaker 9: of tertiary entry.
36:16
Speaker 1: So I'll read what the student wrote.
36:18
Speaker 9: The battle is here and generation Z of the infantry.
36:23
Speaker 9: So we stand here eagerly trying desperately not to make
36:27
Speaker 9: a sound, because with each hit of the hammer, the
36:31
Speaker 9: only thing we want to hear is a captain's head
36:34
Speaker 9: fall to the ground. Now, obviously they're vandalizing a statue
36:39
Speaker 9: of Captain Cook. I taught Year twelve for over ten years.
36:42
Speaker 9: I was on the panel of examiners. We set the
36:44
Speaker 9: paper back in the day and examined it as well.
36:49
Speaker 9: I've never seen such an appalling indictment of how the
36:53
Speaker 9: cultural left as we call it, has taken over. They've
36:57
Speaker 9: taken the long March through our education system. They're now
37:01
Speaker 9: controlling what students are being forced to repeat. It's all
37:05
Speaker 9: about mind control and group.
37:08
Speaker 2: Thing yeah, and let us again. I'll say it again.
37:14
Speaker 2: This is by the Assessment Body for VC English for
37:19
Speaker 2: the State's published online so teachers can know what they're
37:24
Speaker 2: supposed to teach their students. If they want good March.
37:26
Speaker 2: Students themselves can learn it and can parents can look
37:30
Speaker 2: it up and be guided the sort of attitudes and
37:32
Speaker 2: writings they need. This essay after essay calling for protest
37:36
Speaker 2: for racial justice, yet another one for revolution. Have you
37:41
Speaker 2: got a grab from that about the slow cook for
37:46
Speaker 2: excruciating injustices?
37:49
Speaker 9: I have, and I mean I enjoy cooking. I do
37:52
Speaker 9: pizza and pasta once a week. But you know I
37:56
Speaker 9: like to read it quietly with Julia and my wife,
37:58
Speaker 9: not to man the barricades. But this student writes, when
38:03
Speaker 9: an aroma of growing solidarity is present, mix in one
38:07
Speaker 9: hundred grand of supporting revolutionaries who enrich the voices through unity,
38:14
Speaker 9: strength and resolve, reacting in magnitudes powerful enough to bubble
38:19
Speaker 9: out of the pot. The cohesive force of voices attacks
38:24
Speaker 9: for total societal transformation. Now this is straight out of
38:29
Speaker 9: cultural Marxism one oh one and Joan Kerner back in
38:33
Speaker 9: the day when she was Education Minister, she argued schools
38:37
Speaker 9: should be used to overthrow capitalism. It's come to this, Andrew,
38:42
Speaker 9: and I can see why so many parents are getting
38:46
Speaker 9: fed up with this kind of indoctrination.
38:51
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, look, this comes from your grater youth than Kevin,
38:55
Speaker 2: but from my older age. I have to tell you
38:57
Speaker 2: that's naive thinking. I think they might get fed up,
39:01
Speaker 2: but I don't think the teachers are fed up of
39:03
Speaker 2: teaching this kind of nonsense. And I'd like to see
39:07
Speaker 2: much more pushback. I recommend viewers look at your essay
39:11
Speaker 2: and Quadron online where you give example after example, because
39:15
Speaker 2: you've got to be shocked and you've got to take action.
39:17
Speaker 2: This cannot stand, Kevin. Not only thank you so much
39:19
Speaker 2: for your time, it's just so extraordinary that this sort
39:24
Speaker 2: of stuff gets taught after the break. The bloke who's
39:27
Speaker 2: angry with his mother after getting only three billion dollars.
39:36
Speaker 2: I'm so struck by the sons of billionaires whinging publicly
39:42
Speaker 2: about the parents who made them fabulously rich, even complaining
39:46
Speaker 2: they should have got even more. Now. I mentioned James
39:49
Speaker 2: Murdoch a couple of weeks ago, some of my longtime
39:51
Speaker 2: boss rupert sitting on several billion dollars still living and
39:55
Speaker 2: now I read about John Hancock when you think about
39:58
Speaker 2: his mother, mining tycoon gin her own heart whining as
40:03
Speaker 2: is pictured in the article driving a lovely boat off
40:07
Speaker 2: Sicily the kind of thing a man can do when
40:09
Speaker 2: he is sitting on a four billion dollar fortune, most
40:13
Speaker 2: thanks to his mother's amazing skill in creating a mining empire,
40:16
Speaker 2: now also an agricultural one too. Actually I should correction there.
40:21
Speaker 2: John Hancock's fortune is down ten percent this year, according
40:25
Speaker 2: to the Train at least, so I admire his gaul
40:27
Speaker 2: and complaining that it's his mother making some bad investments
40:32
Speaker 2: when she's in fact our richest person en after saving
40:34
Speaker 2: the business she inherited from her dad from collapse. He
40:38
Speaker 2: seems to think John Oh's in this story oh so easy, Yeah,
40:41
Speaker 2: so easy, yes, But honestly, who publicly dishes dirt on
40:47
Speaker 2: their parents like that and complains he still hasn't got
40:51
Speaker 2: enough money for his lawyers and his bat, having just
40:55
Speaker 2: returned from more skiing in Canada. Ungrateful and entitled. It
41:01
Speaker 2: seems to me as someone who didn't inherit a single
41:04
Speaker 2: dollar from his own parents and still thinks is doing
41:07
Speaker 2: all right compared to a lot of people unfortunately I
41:09
Speaker 2: see in the working class towns not far from where
41:12
Speaker 2: I live. Joining me is jem and Toonini Communications because
41:16
Speaker 2: Sultan Scone is regular and a Nika di Georgia, host
41:19
Speaker 2: of our own show here on Sky on Fridays at
41:22
Speaker 2: five pm. I mean, Jemma, I mean wow, it's for
41:26
Speaker 2: me though. It's the public bagging of parents, particularly the
41:30
Speaker 2: issue seems to be dominated by money that the parent earned.
41:34
Speaker 2: It seems so cheap and disloyal to me or am
41:38
Speaker 2: I just old fashioned?
41:40
Speaker 8: Well, I was raised a different way, and like Hugh Andrew,
41:43
Speaker 8: you know, my family on both my parents' side didn't
41:47
Speaker 8: come from significant wealth, but built a wonderful life here
41:50
Speaker 8: in Australia. And I just find it really distasteful when people,
41:57
Speaker 8: as you say, unload on their family, whether it's mother, brother, sister, whatever,
42:02
Speaker 8: unload on their immediate family in a public arena. I
42:04
Speaker 8: just think it's really classless and really tacky. And the
42:07
Speaker 8: thing that I always think about when I see these
42:09
Speaker 8: these children of billionaires who've done nothing and pardon the
42:15
Speaker 8: nature of my analogy, but they've done very little other
42:17
Speaker 8: than enter the world through the right pair of lady parts,
42:21
Speaker 8: you know, that's their claim to fame, you know, and
42:24
Speaker 8: there's this sense of entitlement, like you didn't build the
42:27
Speaker 8: wealth your grandfather did. You didn't build the wealth your mother,
42:30
Speaker 8: as you quite rightly point out, turned that company around
42:34
Speaker 8: and is acknowledged. I've never met the woman. To full disclosure,
42:38
Speaker 8: you know, turned that business around to be the thriving,
42:43
Speaker 8: you know, major employer, major economic force in this country
42:47
Speaker 8: that it is. I mean, I just don't I don't
42:50
Speaker 8: understand it, Andrew. It doesn't connect with me in any way.
42:53
Speaker 8: I actually feel I feel a bit sorry for him,
42:55
Speaker 8: to be honest.
42:58
Speaker 2: I don't get it either. I have met you. I mean,
43:00
Speaker 2: she's a friend of mine, and I have to say,
43:02
Speaker 2: I mean, Denika, when you meet Gina you may have,
43:06
Speaker 2: I don't know, you will see that this is an
43:09
Speaker 2: absolute force of nature and you can understand why you
43:11
Speaker 2: got rich attention to detail, implacable will I mean, that
43:16
Speaker 2: is not something you can say I could have done
43:18
Speaker 2: that too, very easily at all.
43:20
Speaker 6: No, absolutely not. I mean Gina Ryan I've never met
43:23
Speaker 6: Gena Ryan Hart. But again, she is an example of
43:25
Speaker 6: a woman who is incredibly successful, has done it all herself,
43:29
Speaker 6: and her company really is one of the backbones of
43:32
Speaker 6: this economy. And like Jemma, you know, my grandparents came
43:36
Speaker 6: to this country with no money. It took them a
43:38
Speaker 6: month to get here from Italy on a boat, and
43:41
Speaker 6: they instilled in me the values of putting your head
43:43
Speaker 6: down and working hard, rely on yourself, get to where
43:47
Speaker 6: you want through sheer success and determination, not relying on anybody.
43:52
Speaker 6: So when you read articles like this, I've got to say, Andrew,
43:55
Speaker 6: it really annoys me. You've got no sympathy boohoo. And
43:57
Speaker 6: you know what it reminds me of. It actually reminds
43:59
Speaker 6: me of lot of Prince Harry. It's a similar scenario
44:02
Speaker 6: of someone who's been spoon fed, given everything in their
44:05
Speaker 6: life and then doesen dishes dirt on the family. It
44:09
Speaker 6: doesn't bode well with me, Andrew, Team Italy, Deniko.
44:18
Speaker 2: Jimmy. I mentioned earlier the top essays singled out by
44:22
Speaker 2: Victoria's top assessment of a body for Schools. One was
44:28
Speaker 2: an essay cheering the decapitation of statues of colonizers. And
44:32
Speaker 2: there you've got an Irish nationalist band called Kneecap touring Australia. Kneecap,
44:37
Speaker 2: by the way, in honor of the way the IRA
44:39
Speaker 2: shop people's kneecaps as punishment, but that's going to be celebrated.
44:42
Speaker 2: Played a Melbourne concert with the decapitated head from a
44:45
Speaker 2: statue of Melbourne of King George and posted also Madman
44:49
Speaker 2: dropped back with the whole huge King George's head so
44:51
Speaker 2: he could hear a few tunes for our last Melbourne show.
44:53
Speaker 2: Allegedly his head was cut off lass ye in the city. Anyways,
44:56
Speaker 2: He's put on stage a few tunes and then whisked
44:58
Speaker 2: the way. Remember, every colony can fall these guys, these
45:03
Speaker 2: musicians in possession of stolen goods, at least for a while.
45:07
Speaker 2: How should a politicians and police respond to this foreign band.
45:12
Speaker 8: It's Victoria, isn't it. I mean, like, if that's going
45:14
Speaker 8: to happen anywhere in Australia, it's gonna happen in the
45:16
Speaker 8: socialist nation of Victoria. I mean, with the greatest of
45:20
Speaker 8: respect to my few close Irish friends who I love dearly.
45:22
Speaker 8: Like the country has become known for just this massive
45:26
Speaker 8: chip on their shoulder about every little thing. And you know,
45:30
Speaker 8: those three clowns in their tracksuits couldn't probably spell colonization,
45:34
Speaker 8: you know, on a good day, they're in possession of
45:38
Speaker 8: stolen property. I don't know, Andrew, I don't know that
45:40
Speaker 8: dealing with that kind of level of intellectual bankruptcy is
45:43
Speaker 8: going to be dealt with by you know, criminal charges,
45:47
Speaker 8: all that sort of stuff. You're talking about an existential identity,
45:50
Speaker 8: like the problem with that generation. I'm sounding like an
45:52
Speaker 8: old person. I'm fine with it. I don't know who
45:54
Speaker 8: they are, so they'll attached to anything. It's like a
45:56
Speaker 8: cause becomes an identity because there is no sense of identity.
46:00
Speaker 8: No one said to me the other day, Oh, what
46:01
Speaker 8: was it like being you know, center right conservative in
46:04
Speaker 8: a newsroom when twenty years ago, when I was in
46:06
Speaker 8: a newsroom when most newsrooms, as you know, lean a.
46:08
Speaker 2: Little bit to the left.
46:09
Speaker 8: So I didn't care. I just don't care what other
46:11
Speaker 8: people think of my politics. And I didn't care whether
46:13
Speaker 8: people thought, you know, I should fit in in that respect.
46:16
Speaker 8: And I think that comes from a sense of identity.
46:18
Speaker 8: Like Danika, my Margrant family taught me to know who
46:21
Speaker 8: I was, and that's not about what I do, but
46:24
Speaker 8: who I am.
46:27
Speaker 2: Well, my Margrant family, being Dutch, told me to be
46:30
Speaker 2: absolutely damn stubborn. And if you see a nail hammer
46:33
Speaker 2: it walk past a nail sticking up without being hammered.
46:39
Speaker 2: It's a disgrace. It's a disgrace. But honestly, Denika, what
46:44
Speaker 2: do you make of this? I know, you know there
46:48
Speaker 2: are times when authorities they don't want to seem uncool,
46:52
Speaker 2: they don't want to see spoil sports, they don't want
46:54
Speaker 2: to be laughed at, you know, by exercising authority. But
46:58
Speaker 2: I think, you know, being an experienced father, now there
47:01
Speaker 2: are things you got to do because you are an authority.
47:05
Speaker 2: And I would like to see the police set these
47:07
Speaker 2: people down, even though it's not going to be charging
47:09
Speaker 2: slaid and made them go through the whole thing, interrogate
47:12
Speaker 2: them for two hours about where that statue had came from.
47:15
Speaker 6: Andrew, if we went off vibes and not being called,
47:17
Speaker 6: nobody would ever be arrested and nobody would ever be
47:19
Speaker 6: brought to justice. I don't care who these people are,
47:21
Speaker 6: like Jema, I've got no idea. I had to google them,
47:24
Speaker 6: and you know what I saw online. I thought, okay,
47:26
Speaker 6: well that's enough for me. But look, this obviously needs
47:28
Speaker 6: to be investigated, Andrew, because if it is indeed, if
47:31
Speaker 6: they are in possession of stolen goods.
47:33
Speaker 11: That is a problem. This belongs to the state of Victoria.
47:35
Speaker 11: It is property of Victoria.
47:37
Speaker 6: Therefore something needs to happen here. But I look at
47:40
Speaker 6: it from the perspective of it really bothers me that
47:42
Speaker 6: they're talking about that the colony can fall.
47:45
Speaker 11: What the West? You talk about? The West?
47:46
Speaker 6: Are you talking about Australia. If that's what you're talking about,
47:49
Speaker 6: why are you in this country? You shouldn't be here.
47:52
Speaker 6: And you know, Andrew, what do you think about it?
47:54
Speaker 6: The Sorry, the Labor government didn't even give it visa
47:57
Speaker 6: for example, to a let Shaked, the form Israeli minister,
48:00
Speaker 6: because they were worried she would incite hate.
48:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've got.
48:03
Speaker 6: People here saying well, the colony will fall.
48:06
Speaker 11: It's just extraordinary.
48:09
Speaker 2: Oh look, I just don't get it. Weird. But I
48:14
Speaker 2: think we've all got our roles, Jim, and we've all
48:16
Speaker 2: got our roles to play. And sorry, someone's got to
48:19
Speaker 2: play dad, and I'm not seeing enough playing dad round here.
48:23
Speaker 8: What do you hear is playing Australia is a fatherless
48:26
Speaker 8: nation right now, let's be clear.
48:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I think that's absolutely correct, Jimmy, Donni Danika
48:34
Speaker 2: to Georgio. Thank you so much to you both, and listen,
48:39
Speaker 2: if you do know where that head is, dub someone
48:41
Speaker 2: in and have some fun. Let them feel scared and
48:44
Speaker 2: a little loss themselves. That's it for me, coming up now.
48:47
Speaker 2: Sherry Marxon good note.
