Speaker 1: Jus he's the bo reported.
0:17
Speaker 2: And another Chris Bone failed tonight plus an expert in
0:21
Speaker 2: renewable energy explains by Bones and zero schemes face disaster.
0:27
Speaker 2: Also tonight, an aboriginal activist refuses to turn up to
0:31
Speaker 2: what he calls our colonial courts. Should we also reject
0:35
Speaker 2: our colonial pension? As in the university's vice chance and
0:39
Speaker 2: now miss he let down Jewish students, But today he's
0:42
Speaker 2: under more far for religitally being rude when Jewish leaders
0:45
Speaker 2: try to warn him as university had gone feral. Some
0:48
Speaker 2: academics even refusing to condemn the hamas slaughter of Jews.
0:54
Speaker 3: And we're saying that resistance is justified.
0:59
Speaker 2: Flus signs of panic from Kamala Harris as a campaign
1:02
Speaker 2: against Donald Trump, HiT's trouble, and so much more. Matt
1:06
Speaker 2: Canavan a great panel and more. But first, if you
1:11
Speaker 2: believe a lot of the media Israel has just started
1:14
Speaker 2: another war, you look at the ABC Israel unleasious heavy
1:18
Speaker 2: strikes on Lebanon, on Lebanon the country, and our foreign
1:23
Speaker 2: minister wishes that stop.
1:26
Speaker 4: We have consistently put the view that escalation is in
1:29
Speaker 4: no one's interests.
1:32
Speaker 2: Now you might assume from all this and more three
1:35
Speaker 2: things Israel started this Lebanon is its latest enemy, and
1:40
Speaker 2: all Lebanon Muslims everywhere in fact, must be so angry
1:43
Speaker 2: at these warmongering Jews. Wrong, wrong, and wrong. I'm going
1:50
Speaker 2: to show you footage I bet you haven't seen on
1:52
Speaker 2: any other media in this country where being anti israelis course.
1:56
Speaker 2: Now the fashion in the left this footage for a
2:00
Speaker 2: start giving the ABC thing. Wait a minute, if Israel
2:04
Speaker 2: really is just bombing Lebanon, choosing to go to war
2:07
Speaker 2: with the country it's northern neighbor, why are some Muslims
2:12
Speaker 2: actually cheering? And that's because the truth is that Israel's
2:17
Speaker 2: real target is not Lebanon, but the Shia Hezbela terrorist
2:21
Speaker 2: army that has taken over a third of that country,
2:25
Speaker 2: which is why some other Muslims Sunni Wan say it
2:28
Speaker 2: deserves everything it's getting.
2:31
Speaker 5: The publishment for you names.
2:45
Speaker 6: Orl Alam and Buda Umbria.
2:50
Speaker 2: Now those were actually Sunni Muslims in Italy, in northern Syria,
2:56
Speaker 2: people who have seen the Shiat Hesbela terrorist wage war
2:58
Speaker 2: against them, and there as as well, backed by Iran,
3:03
Speaker 2: and in leven On itself, Hisspital has helped drive out
3:06
Speaker 2: a third of the Christians who were there fifty years ago.
3:10
Speaker 2: Some intellectuals aren't buying habal As calls for marches that
3:14
Speaker 2: can't fight those evil Jews.
3:17
Speaker 6: Kisra hid well ahead of them in Mascal Taman there,
3:32
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, So then let me in Cambus So then
3:42
Speaker 6: so then so then lay back to top of my Virginie,
3:47
Speaker 6: lay a top of a man. But back to top.
3:54
Speaker 2: There's another thing that so many of these reports and
3:57
Speaker 2: politicians of the left are not making clear. This war
4:00
Speaker 2: didn't start just last week when Israel set off all
4:03
Speaker 2: those booby trapped pages that Hesbela had issued to its operatives.
4:07
Speaker 2: Hesblah has been attacking Israel for years, attacking Christians too,
4:12
Speaker 2: by the way, helping you to in bey route from
4:14
Speaker 2: the Paris of the Mediterranean into another Middle Eastern slum,
4:18
Speaker 2: dragging Lebanon into stupid wars with Israel. Since October seventh,
4:24
Speaker 2: last year, when a mass terrorist was also funded by
4:27
Speaker 2: Iran slaughtered twelve hundred Jews in Israel, Hesbelah has fired
4:32
Speaker 2: eight thousand missiles into Israel, forcing sixty two thousand Israelis
4:37
Speaker 2: to evacuate the north of their country. In one striking fact,
4:42
Speaker 2: Hesbela killed twelve Muslim Druze children in Israel. So was
4:47
Speaker 2: Israel supposed to accept that forever? But more Israeli politicians
4:53
Speaker 2: and intelligence experts have told me they know Hesbelah it
4:58
Speaker 2: was not just firing dozens of rockets almost every day,
5:01
Speaker 2: and that was that it's also waiting to do its
5:04
Speaker 2: own October seventh to Israel, but only worse because it's
5:09
Speaker 2: much bigger terrorist army. Hespitalas actually built an army of
5:12
Speaker 2: up to one hundred thousand men and as stockpile more
5:15
Speaker 2: than two hundred thousand rockets and missiles, all to attack
5:19
Speaker 2: Israel someday when Rand says fire and you see it's
5:24
Speaker 2: built up a massive armory. You see that from the
5:28
Speaker 2: footage of Israel's latest strikes in Lebanon. You're told, oh,
5:32
Speaker 2: those wicked israelis bombing the homes of innocent elevenies civilians.
5:36
Speaker 2: But when you look at some of the ones it's hitting,
5:40
Speaker 2: how the initial strike is followed by a lot more,
5:44
Speaker 2: many more explosions. That's rockets and missiles going off that
5:48
Speaker 2: were secretly stored inside those houses, inside those apartments, and
5:53
Speaker 2: then boom triggered by the explosion. In one case, a
5:57
Speaker 2: missile inside one house was set off and hit the
6:00
Speaker 2: house across the street. And you've got to ask not
6:04
Speaker 2: just why Hesbela needed all these missiles, but why was
6:08
Speaker 2: storing them among civilians who die if there was a
6:12
Speaker 2: single mistake, And that's the key in my opinion, Hesbela,
6:19
Speaker 2: like a mass actually wants Israel to kill Muslim civilians,
6:24
Speaker 2: and muscle doesn't even build bombshells for its own civilians.
6:28
Speaker 2: Every dead civilian is terrorist propaganda for gullible Western journalists
6:33
Speaker 2: and politicians to then attack the Jews. Let me take
6:37
Speaker 2: this guy, you know, oh, just a poor journalists we're
6:40
Speaker 2: told just about to give an interview when those Israelis
6:45
Speaker 2: blow up his house. Look at this are our targeting
6:48
Speaker 2: even journalists, except, of course, this man is actually the
6:51
Speaker 2: leader of a Hesbela propaganda arm. Even herons State media says, yes,
6:57
Speaker 2: his magazine takes steps in line with resistance politics, which
7:02
Speaker 2: means Hezbelah. That's why it's Israel, of course, not Hebela.
7:07
Speaker 2: That's before Israeli attacks is sending leveny civilians a warning
7:13
Speaker 2: get away from any Hezbela sites, get at least the
7:16
Speaker 2: kilometer away for your own safety.
7:27
Speaker 6: Leave.
7:28
Speaker 2: It says, if you live near a Hezbala site, get
7:31
Speaker 2: at least one kilometer away. It's Israel, not Hezbelah, and
7:38
Speaker 2: certainly not a mass that's trying to avoid Muslim civilians
7:42
Speaker 2: being killed in this war. Yet it's Israel that still
7:46
Speaker 2: gets accused of being the real war criminals. It's like
7:50
Speaker 2: Penny Wong, a foreire minister has admitted, Israel's actually held
7:54
Speaker 2: to a double standard and she's actually.
7:56
Speaker 4: Her mass is a terrorist organization. It's demonstrated that there
8:00
Speaker 4: has no respect for international law. But Australia is a
8:02
Speaker 4: democracy and so too is Israel, and the standards that
8:05
Speaker 4: we seek and accept are hire.
8:10
Speaker 2: See. That's why Israel can't be forgiven for defending itself now,
8:14
Speaker 2: even after an enemy on its border pace thousands of
8:16
Speaker 2: thousands of rockets into its towns and cities. There's always
8:19
Speaker 2: this double standard, which just shows you that the only
8:24
Speaker 2: time that left broadly has sympathized with the Jews was
8:31
Speaker 2: when they had been slaughtered by the Nazis. Now that
8:34
Speaker 2: they fight back, certainly not so much. But Israelisan being
8:39
Speaker 2: the victim anyone's victim anymore. It knows it must fight
8:43
Speaker 2: back or die. Whatever Penny Wong may say, there was
8:54
Speaker 2: another bad day in the decline of Australia under this government.
8:58
Speaker 2: The Reserve Bank today again decided not to cut interest rates.
9:01
Speaker 2: It couldn't not vi al inflations this high three point
9:04
Speaker 2: eight percent higher than Britain, the US, New Zealand and worst.
9:08
Speaker 2: Reserve Bank Governor Michelle Bullock said today she's not expecting
9:11
Speaker 2: underlying inflation to get down to where it should be
9:14
Speaker 2: for at least another year or more.
9:18
Speaker 4: According to our current forecast, it's not really forecast to
9:21
Speaker 4: come back sustainably into the band until twenty twenty six.
9:26
Speaker 2: The bill today also thisten a lot of other negatives
9:28
Speaker 2: you've see now or weak growth, people spending less, weak
9:31
Speaker 2: productivity two, which is not surprising with all the government's
9:34
Speaker 2: new pro union laws. But triacy Jim Charmers once again
9:38
Speaker 2: blamed everyone else, foreigners, particularly interest rates, and not his
9:42
Speaker 2: own high spending, high immigration, union pleasing government for Australians
9:47
Speaker 2: getting poorer per person.
9:49
Speaker 7: We've seen growth in our economy has been quite weak.
9:52
Speaker 7: We've seen consumption has been weak, discretionary spending has been
9:57
Speaker 7: going backwards. All of this is indications that the interest
10:00
Speaker 7: rate rises already in the system are already combining with
10:04
Speaker 7: international uncertainty and persistent inflation to slow our economy quite
10:08
Speaker 7: and substantially.
10:09
Speaker 2: And we saw that in the most recent national accounts.
10:15
Speaker 2: Oh unlucky Jim. Has there ever been an unluckier treasurer?
10:19
Speaker 2: But Jim Chalmers hinted there could be great news tomorrow.
10:24
Speaker 7: Whether that monthly inflation data is in the low threes
10:27
Speaker 7: or the high twos, it will show that inflation has
10:31
Speaker 7: halved since we came to office.
10:33
Speaker 2: That's a good thing.
10:34
Speaker 7: We are making welcome and encouraging progress.
10:38
Speaker 2: Inflation under three percent you figure tomorrow. Michell Bullock actually
10:42
Speaker 2: said the same could be, except she did point out
10:45
Speaker 2: that's because the government is temporarily subsidizing our electricity bills
10:50
Speaker 2: and that's the cheat. Joining me is our Tuesday regular
10:53
Speaker 2: commentator Matt Kenavan, the National Senator and former Resources mister
10:56
Speaker 2: Mat Canavan. Good to see you look all this. I
10:59
Speaker 2: think the mess of the Albanezi government's in driving up
11:02
Speaker 2: electricity prices and inflation with this green agenda and then
11:07
Speaker 2: paying part of our electricity bills to hide the pain.
11:14
Speaker 1: You're actually absolutely right, Andrew. It's a total mess. And
11:17
Speaker 1: what the Anthony Albanezi government is doing is the equivalent
11:20
Speaker 1: of your kids cleaning their room by chucking everything in
11:23
Speaker 1: their cupboard. I mean I've done that sometimes for my wife.
11:26
Speaker 1: You know, you chuck all the mess into the cupboard.
11:29
Speaker 1: I've cleaned it, I've cleaned the house. It's all done.
11:31
Speaker 1: But of course what's going to happen is that stuff's
11:33
Speaker 1: just going to come out of the cupboard very soon
11:35
Speaker 1: and they'll all be a mess again. And that's exactly
11:36
Speaker 1: what's happening here. That the Albenizi government has transferred the
11:40
Speaker 1: high anti prices they presided over just by promising lower prices,
11:44
Speaker 1: ended up with higher electricity prices, much much higher. They're
11:46
Speaker 1: transferring the payment of that from your quarterly bill to
11:49
Speaker 1: your annual tax statement because you're going to have to
11:52
Speaker 1: pay for these subsidies. Now, the measured inflation is going
11:55
Speaker 1: to come in lower. But it's just a cooking the
11:57
Speaker 1: book's exercise, and the RBA Governor's made it very clear
12:01
Speaker 1: that she will look through that. She's not going to
12:03
Speaker 1: cut interest rates because measured inflation has magically fallen because
12:07
Speaker 1: of Jim's tricks. She will keep interest rates high because
12:11
Speaker 1: inflation underlying inflation remains high, unlike that in other countries
12:14
Speaker 1: around the world. The United States had a fifty basis
12:18
Speaker 1: point cut in their interest rates just last week, and
12:21
Speaker 1: if that was to happen here, the AVERAGEUS train would
12:23
Speaker 1: have be almost two hundred dollars a month better off.
12:26
Speaker 2: On their mortgage.
12:27
Speaker 1: That's the price that you're all paying because this government
12:30
Speaker 1: hasn't been able to solve the energy prices crisis, hasn't
12:34
Speaker 1: got a plan for productivity, and we've ended up with
12:36
Speaker 1: the highest inflation in the world and persistently high interest rates.
12:42
Speaker 2: Now, Matt, I'm going to ask you to praise the
12:45
Speaker 2: government now because it's done something that I wouldn't have
12:49
Speaker 2: thought was on the agenda. Really, if it's a zero target,
12:53
Speaker 2: was really viable. It's just approved three coal man extensions
12:59
Speaker 2: in the Hunter Valley. That's good news, isn't it.
13:04
Speaker 1: Look I do welcome that It's a little bit late,
13:07
Speaker 1: but better late than never. These approvals have been held
13:10
Speaker 1: up for a long time. I just spoke to some
13:12
Speaker 1: companies in the past few weeks that we're waiting with
13:15
Speaker 1: baited breadth for this because they want to create jobs.
13:16
Speaker 1: They want to get the investment going. I mean this
13:19
Speaker 1: shows two things, Andrew. One, I think the government's in
13:21
Speaker 1: a panic mode now after the reaction from it's a refusal.
13:26
Speaker 1: Inexplicable refusal, I mean inexplicable. They haven't explained it. They
13:29
Speaker 1: refuse to explain why they've shut down a gold mine
13:32
Speaker 1: in Orange, costing eight hundred jobs there. Now they're in
13:35
Speaker 1: panic mode trying to react. The other thing it shows
13:37
Speaker 1: is obviously there's still very strong demand for coal because
13:41
Speaker 1: these minds want to get going as investors. We hear
13:43
Speaker 1: that there's no one who wants to invest in coal. Well,
13:45
Speaker 1: clearly there's very strong demand for our coal, and it's
13:47
Speaker 1: not in the Gold Coast. With one hundred people here
13:49
Speaker 1: from the Climate Energy Realist Group who know about this
13:52
Speaker 1: and they're desperate for a solution to our own energy
13:55
Speaker 1: price crisis. But we're shipping all our coal overseas to
13:58
Speaker 1: help other countries. Why don't we keep some of it
14:00
Speaker 1: here and use it as well for our own needs?
14:05
Speaker 2: Just quickly, Matt. The government's mea while traying again to
14:08
Speaker 2: get new laws through Parliament against what it calls misinformation
14:12
Speaker 2: and disinformation. What stuns me is that it's given Australians
14:16
Speaker 2: just one week to respond to its slatest plan, which
14:20
Speaker 2: is an attack on our free speech. What do you
14:22
Speaker 2: make of that?
14:24
Speaker 1: Well, I think it's at least it's keeping true to form.
14:27
Speaker 1: There's a bill to gag their own people. They want
14:29
Speaker 1: to silence us, and they're doing the same. They've been consistent,
14:34
Speaker 1: at least by giving their own people just a week
14:37
Speaker 1: to comment on some of the most reconian laws in
14:39
Speaker 1: regards to policing our own speech that have ever been
14:41
Speaker 1: put before Australian Parliament. Not only will this restrict free speech,
14:45
Speaker 1: it does so in a double standard way. It sets
14:47
Speaker 1: up two tiers of speakers. If you're in the government,
14:51
Speaker 1: if you're in the media like yourself, Andrew, you get
14:53
Speaker 1: a different standard applies to you compared to the average
14:56
Speaker 1: Australian and I think this is absolutely outrageous. The government
14:59
Speaker 1: obviously has massive glass jaw after they lost the Voice referendum.
15:02
Speaker 1: They're actually in their explanatory documents this legislation they mentioned
15:05
Speaker 1: that we have to have laws to prevent misleading statements
15:08
Speaker 1: about referendum proposals. You can see what this is all about.
15:11
Speaker 1: It's about shutting down dissent, hitting me when a government,
15:17
Speaker 1: real leadership would not be so afraid of their own
15:19
Speaker 1: people criticizing them. Check it out there, I'll look at it.
15:26
Speaker 2: I'll never look at it. Matt Kenevan, thank you so
15:29
Speaker 2: much for your time. Now. One of the most shameful
15:34
Speaker 2: things I've seen in Australia for many years is this
15:38
Speaker 2: new jee hatred or I shouldn't be saying jee hatred.
15:41
Speaker 2: Of course, it's hatred of Israel, although to many Jews
15:45
Speaker 2: here it feels exactly the same. Last week, the vist
15:49
Speaker 2: Chances of Syne the University of Mark Scott apologized to
15:51
Speaker 2: Jewish students for all the hatred and stress that felt
15:53
Speaker 2: from all the anti Israel protests at the universities. I
15:57
Speaker 2: mean the stories they're told to send an.
15:59
Speaker 8: Inquiry into just this, and I've read the complaints that
16:03
Speaker 8: have been made to the university and all those shared
16:06
Speaker 8: in submissions to this inquiry and to the Special Envoy,
16:10
Speaker 8: and the testimonials are heartbreaking and unacceptable, and for that
16:15
Speaker 8: I am sorry. No one should feel at risk, unsafe,
16:19
Speaker 8: or unwelcome at any place of learning, and no one
16:23
Speaker 8: should feel the need to hide their identity or stay
16:25
Speaker 8: away from classrooms or campuses. And if students have felt
16:30
Speaker 8: unsafe or unwelcome, if that has been their lived experience,
16:34
Speaker 8: if that is their testimony, then we have failed them.
16:38
Speaker 3: Yes.
16:38
Speaker 8: Well, no, that's exactly right, Sema, and that's why I've
16:40
Speaker 8: happened that.
16:41
Speaker 2: Yes, now, that's all well said and all very well,
16:46
Speaker 2: except for a couple of things. First, Jewish leaders and
16:50
Speaker 2: students today claim that Scott had been rude and condescending
16:54
Speaker 2: at a meeting when they tried to warn him early
16:56
Speaker 2: this year what was going on. Scott's spokesmen deny that.
17:00
Speaker 2: But Scott should have known just two days after that
17:03
Speaker 2: October seventh massacre of twelve hundred Jews by Hamas that
17:07
Speaker 2: he had a real problem at his university. Some of
17:11
Speaker 2: his staff actually protested just two days after that massacre
17:16
Speaker 2: at the Sydney Opera House commemoration of the victims, like
17:20
Speaker 2: lecturer and Education Union official Nick Rima, who seemed to
17:25
Speaker 2: defend Hamas.
17:27
Speaker 3: So where staff from Sydney University, And we're from the
17:31
Speaker 3: group of Sydney UNI staff that support boycott, devestment and tanctions,
17:37
Speaker 3: and we're here out in support of justice for Palestine
17:41
Speaker 3: and freedom for Palestinians and we're saying that resistance is justified.
17:48
Speaker 2: Now. It's true that Scott had first warned against staff
17:51
Speaker 2: who seemed to show support for Hamas. It's incredible he
17:54
Speaker 2: had to say it, don't you think? But he crumbled
17:57
Speaker 2: with some staff hit back and Muslim activists invade is University.
18:03
Speaker 9: Baby.
18:11
Speaker 2: Scott also that students set up a protest camp for
18:14
Speaker 2: months at the university, which ended within caving in and
18:17
Speaker 2: letting the extremes they're sit on. A university inquiry into
18:20
Speaker 2: the university's defense starts with Israel. I'm joined by journals
18:24
Speaker 2: and author Tony Thomas has written about this requaded online.
18:27
Speaker 2: Tony Thomas, thanks for your time. You've actually read the
18:31
Speaker 2: submissions that Jewish students sent to the Senate inquiry to
18:34
Speaker 2: the new Special Envoy to combat Anti Semitism. What picture
18:39
Speaker 2: do they paint?
18:40
Speaker 10: Well, there's a couple of big points I took out
18:43
Speaker 10: of this. One is that people think that anti Semitism
18:47
Speaker 10: is the province of the Bogan class. The reality is
18:51
Speaker 10: that at the Vans conference where the Nazis decided on
18:55
Speaker 10: the Holocaust, half of those present were doctors and half
18:59
Speaker 10: were of PhD, and the second point is that, as
19:04
Speaker 10: I say in the article, my mother honeymooned in Germany
19:07
Speaker 10: in nineteen thirty eight and she was horrified by the swastikas,
19:11
Speaker 10: the cartoons, the signs saying Jews are unwanted, and then
19:16
Speaker 10: Jews disappearing. Well, all that is happening today on Australian
19:20
Speaker 10: university campuses, and the students are disappearing, the Jewish ones,
19:24
Speaker 10: not because they go to camps, but because they are
19:27
Speaker 10: afraid to go to university anymore and they want to
19:31
Speaker 10: stay at home. A quarter of female Jewish students even
19:35
Speaker 10: before October seven were staying at home out of fear.
19:39
Speaker 1: So that's the takeaways that I got. It was really disturbing.
19:46
Speaker 2: And it's not just a Sydney university, is it.
19:49
Speaker 10: God No, My article is really a little encyclopedia of
19:54
Speaker 10: each university and what's been going on.
19:56
Speaker 1: They're drawn from these studies.
19:58
Speaker 10: Well, at Sydney University a girl got pushed off her bike,
20:03
Speaker 10: a Jewish girl, by a student shouting Hale Hitler, and
20:08
Speaker 10: the university took no action because it happened two meters
20:12
Speaker 10: outside the campus boundaries. And then in Melbourne University there
20:17
Speaker 10: was something really serious just before a lecture, two students
20:21
Speaker 10: burst into the room, began filming and demanded people put
20:25
Speaker 10: up their hands. The students there, whether they were four
20:28
Speaker 10: or against the genocidal Israelis. Now this completely traumatized some
20:34
Speaker 10: students in class. And then shortly after October seven at
20:38
Speaker 10: the University of New South Wales, one lecture turned up
20:41
Speaker 10: in a CAFA fancy dress. So there's innumerable examples like that,
20:46
Speaker 10: and you really realized that this is not something idiosyncratic,
20:52
Speaker 10: this is something systemic going on in the university sector.
20:57
Speaker 2: It's just sickening. I note that the Special Envoy in
21:02
Speaker 2: Anti Semitism, Jillian Siegel, says that several students and staff
21:05
Speaker 2: from various universities were interviewed reported seeking medical assistance and
21:10
Speaker 2: being prescribed antidepressors are anti anxiety medication to manage their
21:14
Speaker 2: responses to the rise in anti semitism of the universities.
21:18
Speaker 2: Approximately half the people she interviewed were visibly teary. It
21:24
Speaker 2: staggers me. Staggers me, tony that our university bosses did
21:29
Speaker 2: so little in response.
21:32
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I.
21:32
Speaker 10: Found a quote from a Melbourne University student and it reads,
21:36
Speaker 10: I feel afraid and discarded by the university left exposed
21:42
Speaker 10: to the anti Semitic mob that is slowly taking over.
21:46
Speaker 10: I have never felt more alone.
21:51
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know. Should Mark Scott resign?
21:55
Speaker 9: Oh?
21:56
Speaker 10: Well, he not only trivialized the original serious complaints from
22:02
Speaker 10: the Jewish community, but he handed these complaints to one
22:05
Speaker 10: of his staffers who was an anti Israel activist. And then,
22:09
Speaker 10: only one day after finally the Jewish groups got their
22:14
Speaker 10: complaints to the Senate Committee, suddenly the University of Sydney
22:20
Speaker 10: referred those old complaints to an external investigator. Well was
22:25
Speaker 10: that coincidence? I don't know, But his university is the
22:29
Speaker 10: epicenter of anti Semitism in the university sector of Australia
22:34
Speaker 10: and for that reason alone he has failed.
22:39
Speaker 2: Well, they say evil trumps and good men do nothing.
22:41
Speaker 2: I'm told that Mark Scott is a good man. Thank
22:45
Speaker 2: you very much for that, Tony Thomas. I urged people
22:47
Speaker 2: to actually read your article on Quadron Online because it'll
22:50
Speaker 2: turn you here. What's happening to Australia right now? Thanks
22:56
Speaker 2: for your tom after the break and expert on the
22:58
Speaker 2: green energy revolutions. This boon and our energy minister is
23:02
Speaker 2: headed for a huge failure and right on queue. Yet
23:06
Speaker 2: another bow and green scheme is heading splat for the
23:10
Speaker 2: wall the armanies. The government is insisting it will not
23:18
Speaker 2: drop the ban on nuclear power. Chris bow And the
23:21
Speaker 2: Energy Minister yesterday again said we had to switch instead
23:24
Speaker 2: to wind and sol the power backed by some technology
23:27
Speaker 2: or other to take over when there was no wind
23:29
Speaker 2: or sun.
23:31
Speaker 10: We all know that renewable energy is not just good
23:34
Speaker 10: for Australia, it's absolutely essential to our energy future. We
23:37
Speaker 10: need renewable jobs and storage jobs and an investment right
23:40
Speaker 10: across the board.
23:43
Speaker 2: Except his investments aren't working out. The wind farms, for instance,
23:47
Speaker 2: aren't being rolled out fast enough. Will take green hydrogen
23:49
Speaker 2: made from water bones back that too, this miracle fuel
23:53
Speaker 2: the project after one project after another is in strife
23:57
Speaker 2: and that example just now. Bowen last year one hundred
24:00
Speaker 2: million dollars to build a hydrogen hub near Wyala. Now
24:04
Speaker 2: even the ABC is reporting wiries. It could turn into
24:07
Speaker 2: yet another Bowen flop. His record won't surprise Stephen Gorham.
24:13
Speaker 2: He's the author of a recent book, Green Breakdown, Becoming
24:16
Speaker 2: Renewable Energy Failure, warning that green technology isn't performing anywhere
24:20
Speaker 2: near what was hoped, certainly not commercially. Steve Gorham is
24:24
Speaker 2: a former engineer, now executive director of the Climate Science
24:27
Speaker 2: Coalition of America and advisors to the Heartland Institute. Joins
24:32
Speaker 2: b Now, Steve Gorham, what a pleasure to speak to you.
24:36
Speaker 2: Let's talk about investing in green technology. There's a lot
24:41
Speaker 2: to talk about that here by the government.
24:43
Speaker 6: What has the.
24:44
Speaker 2: Record been there, at least financially in green technology.
24:49
Speaker 5: Now the world is pushing for a thing called net
24:52
Speaker 5: zero energy by twenty fifty, at least the wealthy nations
24:56
Speaker 5: of the world, the United States and Europe and Australia,
24:58
Speaker 5: New Zealand, Canada trying to make a transition from hydrocarbons, coal, oil,
25:03
Speaker 5: and natural gas to renewables wind, solar, and bio fuels.
25:08
Speaker 5: But one of the problems we're running into is that
25:11
Speaker 5: these renewable equipment companies are very poor investments, and we're
25:17
Speaker 5: seeing it every day. The number one example is a
25:20
Speaker 5: thing called the rennix RI NIXX, the Renewable Energy Industrial Index,
25:27
Speaker 5: which is a global stock index of the thirty the
25:30
Speaker 5: thirty largest industrial companies of the world renewable industrial companies.
25:35
Speaker 5: This was set up by IWR of Germany in two
25:38
Speaker 5: thousand and six with an initial value of one thousand points.
25:43
Speaker 5: Just a week ago, the value of the index stood
25:45
Speaker 5: at one thy thirteen points, So we're talking about over
25:49
Speaker 5: eighteen years we've had basically no growth. At the same time,
25:54
Speaker 5: the S and P five hundred has quadrupled. And we're
25:58
Speaker 5: seeing this throughout all sorts of renewable equipment companies, from wind, solar,
26:03
Speaker 5: to electric vehicles to hydrogen as you mentioned, charging companies.
26:10
Speaker 5: All these companies are very many of them are doing very,
26:13
Speaker 5: very poorly financially.
26:18
Speaker 2: But why would that be when given that there's been
26:20
Speaker 2: all this hype, all this government support, all this moral
26:25
Speaker 2: suasion to try to get people to buy green technology,
26:30
Speaker 2: why would that be the performed so badly? And mind you,
26:34
Speaker 2: you've got the Tesla standout, so that's propping them up.
26:37
Speaker 2: There must be a lot that they're really doing badly.
26:41
Speaker 5: Yeah, the Tesla is an exception to the rule. Tesla
26:46
Speaker 5: was founded about two thousand and three.
26:49
Speaker 7: And.
26:51
Speaker 5: By twenty eighteen it was still the only pure play
26:55
Speaker 5: major electric vehicle company in the world, and by twenty
26:59
Speaker 5: twenty one it achieved the capitalization of over a trillion dollars.
27:04
Speaker 5: It was worth as much as the next six auto
27:08
Speaker 5: manufacturers combined. But to give you a comparison, in the
27:12
Speaker 5: United States, since twenty nineteen, there have been thirty one
27:17
Speaker 5: companies that did initial public offerings went public thirty one
27:22
Speaker 5: electric vehicle companies, and only one of those today has
27:26
Speaker 5: a stock prices higher than the initial public offering. The
27:28
Speaker 5: other thirty or down. Six of those companies are bankrupt,
27:33
Speaker 5: and so it's just been a very very poor investment
27:37
Speaker 5: for financial or anybody interested in making money in the market.
27:44
Speaker 2: We're also told here I don't know, it's ad nauseum
27:48
Speaker 2: that wind and solar are the cheapest form of new energy.
27:54
Speaker 2: Is that actually true?
27:55
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, it isn't those are the headlines. It is
27:59
Speaker 5: true that that the generating cost of wind and solar
28:03
Speaker 5: has come down over the last decade throughout the world,
28:06
Speaker 5: and it's approaching the cost of natural gas, but that's
28:09
Speaker 5: only part of the cost of generating electricity. And wherever
28:15
Speaker 5: wind and solar have put in you see that the
28:18
Speaker 5: cost of electricity has been rising. One of those, for example,
28:22
Speaker 5: is Australia. The Nation of Australia pursued an aggressive wind
28:26
Speaker 5: and solar build out between two thousand and twenty twenty
28:30
Speaker 5: one and it's still going and I think it's up
28:33
Speaker 5: to about a little over thirty percent of electricity last year.
28:37
Speaker 5: But at the same time, way back in the year
28:40
Speaker 5: two thousand, electricity is Australia. Australia's electricity prices were amongst
28:45
Speaker 5: the lowest in the world, and in the last twenty
28:50
Speaker 5: years they've risen to be amongst the most expensive. And
28:54
Speaker 5: another example is Europe. I have a chart that I
28:57
Speaker 5: like to plot that shows the wind and solar capacity
29:00
Speaker 5: of a nation on the vertical axis and the residential
29:04
Speaker 5: electricity price on the horizontal axis. If wind and solar
29:08
Speaker 5: are the cheapest forms of electricity generation, you would expect
29:11
Speaker 5: that the nations that put in the most wind and
29:13
Speaker 5: solar would have the lowest electricity prices. But you see
29:18
Speaker 5: exactly the opposite. You see that the nations that put
29:21
Speaker 5: in the most wind and solar have much higher prices
29:24
Speaker 5: than the rest of the nations. An example is Spain,
29:28
Speaker 5: where the price of electricity is double the United States price,
29:32
Speaker 5: and Denmark, which has all those wind turbines, is more
29:36
Speaker 5: than triple the United States price. So we see actually
29:39
Speaker 5: as these things are deployed that they tend to be
29:41
Speaker 5: more expensive. And one of the reasons is you have
29:44
Speaker 5: to account for intermittency because they don't always generate energy
29:50
Speaker 5: if the sun isn't shining, wind isn't blowing. And also transmission,
29:53
Speaker 5: you need a lot more transmission builds, buildouts to connect
30:00
Speaker 5: to all of these wind and solar systems.
30:04
Speaker 2: It's just extraordinary. You also need to build, you know,
30:08
Speaker 2: because of an intermittency, you actually need effectively to build
30:11
Speaker 2: a second power supply to just stand by for when
30:16
Speaker 2: the first ones fail, and that costs. When you've done this,
30:21
Speaker 2: You've written about this in your book, and enormous and
30:24
Speaker 2: a lot of facts there, a lot of evidence. What
30:28
Speaker 2: does it now tell you about the green revolution? What's
30:33
Speaker 2: your big takeout here?
30:36
Speaker 5: Yeah, so my latest book is called a Green Breakdown,
30:39
Speaker 5: the coming renewable energy Failure. The world is going to
30:43
Speaker 5: failure to get is going to fail to get anywhere
30:46
Speaker 5: close to zero. It's just not going to happen by
30:50
Speaker 5: twenty fifty. It's beyond a reach out goal. It's an impossibility. Today.
30:55
Speaker 5: For example, we still have about ninety five percent of
30:57
Speaker 5: all of our vehicles that are running on mostly fuels
31:01
Speaker 5: from petroleum, some natural gas. We have most of the
31:06
Speaker 5: world's electricity still about sixty five percent that is running
31:11
Speaker 5: from hydrocarbons, and the total energy for the world is
31:15
Speaker 5: still about eighty or eighty two percent from hydrocarbons, despite
31:20
Speaker 5: the fact that the world has spent five or six
31:22
Speaker 5: trillion dollars over the last twenty years to try and
31:24
Speaker 5: build wind and solar and replace it. So we're going
31:28
Speaker 5: to see a breakdown. What we the further along this
31:32
Speaker 5: path means higher energy prices, it means electricity blackouts, it
31:37
Speaker 5: means loss of freedom because governments want to take away
31:39
Speaker 5: your gasoline vehicle or your a gas stove at home,
31:44
Speaker 5: and we're going to see more and more transnational energy
31:47
Speaker 5: shocks like they've seen in Europe over the last two
31:49
Speaker 5: or three years. People are going to push back. They're
31:52
Speaker 5: going to demand a return to low cost, reliable energy.
31:59
Speaker 2: Well, I think people are starting to demand that right here,
32:02
Speaker 2: as Steve Gorham, and this election could actually swing on
32:06
Speaker 2: the result of that particular debate. Thank you so much,
32:10
Speaker 2: indeed for your time.
32:12
Speaker 5: Thank you, Andrew.
32:15
Speaker 2: After the break, Kamala Harris suddenly looks in big trouble
32:18
Speaker 2: against Donald Trump. I sense a shift in the United States,
32:26
Speaker 2: so shift against Kamala Harris, despite all that media hype
32:29
Speaker 2: after she replaced Joe Barden as a Democrat candidate in
32:32
Speaker 2: the November election for president, it's not just a new
32:35
Speaker 2: poll suggesting Donald Trump is jing ahead in critical states
32:38
Speaker 2: that will tip the election his way. The other day,
32:43
Speaker 2: the Teams's Union, America's most famous working class union. It's
32:46
Speaker 2: backed every Democrat candidacy is Bill Clinton, but this time
32:49
Speaker 2: said no, it won't back Kamala Harris. It polled its
32:53
Speaker 2: members and found that nearly sixty percent of its record
32:56
Speaker 2: file actually preferred Donald Trump. Meanwhile, Harris is struggling to
33:00
Speaker 2: escape the burdens of what has been her past radical
33:04
Speaker 2: left policies, like this video that's re emerged of her
33:07
Speaker 2: chanting against deporting the legal immigrants. She wouldn't dare say that.
33:23
Speaker 1: Now.
33:23
Speaker 2: Then there's Harris's terrible media performances, the few she's actually
33:27
Speaker 2: deare to give. I mean, showed you last night how
33:29
Speaker 2: she bombed and the loving even that Oprah Winfrey threw
33:32
Speaker 2: for her, Unable to give straight answers, And now there
33:35
Speaker 2: are signs of panic in her camp. For a start,
33:38
Speaker 2: it's now Harris demanding a second debate with Trump, like
33:41
Speaker 2: she really needs one now. And there's something else. Every
33:45
Speaker 2: election campaign, the two candidates go to the Al Smith
33:48
Speaker 2: Dinner to raise money for Catholic charities for children in
33:51
Speaker 2: New York. It's a big deal. It's the candidates trade
33:54
Speaker 2: jokes and show their heart for Trump is going to
33:58
Speaker 2: this year's dinner in the nasty campaigns, but Kamala Harris
34:02
Speaker 2: has said no. Joining me is Sean Spicer, the first
34:05
Speaker 2: spine House spokesman for President Donald Trump. Sean Spisser, good
34:11
Speaker 2: to see you again. How could Kamala Harris say no
34:14
Speaker 2: to the Al Smith Dinner?
34:17
Speaker 11: Well, unfortunately, the same way that she's been saying no
34:20
Speaker 11: to all these other journalists and the requests for interviews,
34:24
Speaker 11: the way that she has said no to so many
34:27
Speaker 11: things that are traditionally part of the process.
34:30
Speaker 1: That's why.
34:31
Speaker 11: I mean, I know that we like to in America
34:33
Speaker 11: say that this is a historic race, but it is
34:36
Speaker 11: unconventional and untraditional, and because she has the media on
34:40
Speaker 11: her side Andrew, she gets away with stuff like this.
34:43
Speaker 11: I mean, the reality is that this dinner may not
34:45
Speaker 11: seem like a big deal to a lot of people
34:48
Speaker 11: outside the political beltway, but it was. It was a
34:51
Speaker 11: time honor tradition in America where people put aside their
34:54
Speaker 11: differences to come together one night and have sort of good,
34:58
Speaker 11: good humor and a fun time, showing the American people
35:02
Speaker 11: that despite differences, they could actually sit at the same
35:05
Speaker 11: dais and have an enjoyable evening. And for her to
35:10
Speaker 11: just so glibly say I'm not going to be here
35:13
Speaker 11: because I'm going to be off campaigning. It's not even
35:16
Speaker 11: like she had an event and said, oh, I'm double
35:18
Speaker 11: book that night. She just literally said I'll be off campaigning.
35:22
Speaker 11: It's a big snub to tradition, it's a big snub
35:26
Speaker 11: to Catholics. It's, by the way, it is a charity
35:29
Speaker 11: fundraiser for Catholic charity, so it's a big deal for
35:32
Speaker 11: the people who benefit from that, and it's unfortunate. But
35:35
Speaker 11: sadly Andrew over and over again, we've seen since she
35:39
Speaker 11: entered the race that she gets a pass that no
35:41
Speaker 11: other candidate in history would has ever had before.
35:44
Speaker 1: And I don't think we'll have again.
35:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, Suan, but you know what the problem is with
35:50
Speaker 2: these things, they are very exposing. You've got to be funny,
35:54
Speaker 2: you've got to be charming, you've got to show a
35:56
Speaker 2: little self deprecation, wit and all those those things I
36:00
Speaker 2: think are well, she can't deliver and it's a high
36:04
Speaker 2: risk thing for her to go to. I think that
36:06
Speaker 2: is the bottom line here.
36:07
Speaker 11: And you just put your finger on it. For all
36:09
Speaker 11: these people who think she should be out there doing
36:11
Speaker 11: more interviews, doing more speeches, doing things that show a
36:15
Speaker 11: certain side to her that they want to see, her
36:18
Speaker 11: staff knows she's incapable of doing it.
36:21
Speaker 1: That's the dirty secret.
36:23
Speaker 11: It was the same thing with Biden, but for different reasons,
36:26
Speaker 11: when people kept saying he should be out there more,
36:28
Speaker 11: he should do town halls, he should do this. It
36:30
Speaker 11: wasn't that the staff didn't know it. They just knew
36:33
Speaker 11: his limitations. And for different reasons, the staff surrounding Kamala
36:38
Speaker 11: Harris knows the same thing. She's incapable of being unscripted.
36:43
Speaker 2: Now, Sean, I've noted the astonishing result in the teams,
36:47
Speaker 2: the union poll of members, the drift of some of
36:51
Speaker 2: the recent opinion polls now, particularly in the swing states,
36:56
Speaker 2: the signs of panic like saying no to this thinner,
37:00
Speaker 2: for instance. How is her campaign going?
37:05
Speaker 11: You know, it's an interesting question that you're asking because
37:09
Speaker 11: the national media in the United States loves to throw
37:12
Speaker 11: out these shiny nickels and say, look at this national poll,
37:17
Speaker 11: she's up by four points. Well, that's great, except we
37:19
Speaker 11: don't vote nationally. We vote by state. And right now,
37:22
Speaker 11: when you look at the path to two hundred and
37:24
Speaker 11: seventy electoral votes, which is what you need to win.
37:27
Speaker 11: I did this on my podcast the other day. Donald
37:30
Speaker 11: Trump's got several paths to victory, several ways to get
37:33
Speaker 11: two hundred and seventy votes.
37:35
Speaker 2: She doesn't.
37:36
Speaker 11: In fact, if she doesn't win the entirety of what
37:39
Speaker 11: we call the Blue Wall, that's Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania,
37:43
Speaker 11: she loses. Donald Trump just needs to pick off one state.
37:47
Speaker 11: When you look at the state poles that just came up,
37:51
Speaker 11: Trump is up four or five points in Arizona. He's
37:54
Speaker 11: up four or five points in Georgia. He's up a
37:56
Speaker 11: couple points in North Carolina.
37:58
Speaker 1: He's doing what he needs needs to do.
38:01
Speaker 11: It's Kamala Harris. It's on the defense when it comes
38:04
Speaker 11: to a path to two hundred and seventy electoral votes.
38:07
Speaker 11: But the national media doesn't want to talk about that.
38:09
Speaker 11: They don't want to talk about the erosion in some
38:11
Speaker 11: of these other key demographics, for example, the Hispanic vote,
38:15
Speaker 11: She's up like twenty points. That's great on its face,
38:19
Speaker 11: except for traditionally that's about a thirty point gap between
38:22
Speaker 11: the Republican and the Democrat. Donald Trump has closed it.
38:26
Speaker 11: So the national media is trying to create the perception
38:29
Speaker 11: through national polls and other things that don't matter, that
38:33
Speaker 11: she's actually doing really well and trending in the right direction.
38:37
Speaker 11: But when you scratch beneath the surface and look at
38:39
Speaker 11: what actually will make a deciding factor as to who
38:43
Speaker 11: will be the next president the United States, who will
38:45
Speaker 11: get those two hundred and seventy electoral votes, it favors
38:49
Speaker 11: Donald Trump.
38:50
Speaker 2: Yeah. At the oprah Lovin and I showed some of
38:52
Speaker 2: it last night as Sean Harris was asked by members
38:58
Speaker 2: of the audience, what kungret things would she do to
39:02
Speaker 2: stop illegal immigration, what concrete things she would do to
39:06
Speaker 2: cut the cost of living? In those questions, she didn't
39:09
Speaker 2: have any practical policy to put I mean, she just
39:14
Speaker 2: had motherhood Savings'm so embarrassing. What policies has she put
39:19
Speaker 2: out in this campaign?
39:21
Speaker 11: Well, very few. But let's go back to the example
39:24
Speaker 11: that you just highlighted and I'm so glad that you did,
39:27
Speaker 11: because I've been doing this for thirty years. Right, this
39:30
Speaker 11: is the number one issue that voters in America care about,
39:33
Speaker 11: not just the economy, but the cost of things, the
39:36
Speaker 11: cost of goods and services of food. If you're her staff,
39:41
Speaker 11: if you're Kamala Harris, do you know you're getting that question?
39:43
Speaker 11: That's number one every day of the week. And yet
39:46
Speaker 11: here she was again on that Oprah interview, flat footed,
39:50
Speaker 11: and I'm thinking to myself, this was the gimme. You
39:53
Speaker 11: knew this was coming, and all you needed to do
39:56
Speaker 11: was throw out, you know, four or five ridiculous policies
39:59
Speaker 11: to get through it. And everybody would have said, well,
40:01
Speaker 11: I don't agree with it, but at least I give
40:03
Speaker 11: her credit for it. She couldn't even do that. She
40:05
Speaker 11: just talks about, you know, I sympathize with you and
40:09
Speaker 11: the middle class this, and that's not a policy.
40:13
Speaker 2: And I think, really, there, you've put your finger on
40:16
Speaker 2: something that I haven't mentioned about the shift away from her.
40:21
Speaker 2: I think there is that growing realization it's all fluff,
40:25
Speaker 2: all bubble, and nothing of substance behind it, and that's
40:30
Speaker 2: coming out. The more she speaks, the more obvious, that's
40:32
Speaker 2: become Sean Spice to thank you so much for your tone.
40:36
Speaker 2: You bet After the break, another Aboriginal activist not reading
40:42
Speaker 2: the room, he says he won't obethe what he calls
40:45
Speaker 2: out colonial court, but it seems you will accept our
40:48
Speaker 2: colonial welfare. You know, I suspect a few Aboriginal activists
40:55
Speaker 2: don't realize how much things have changed after Australian's voted.
40:59
Speaker 2: Know to the Voice, we've had it with racial division,
41:03
Speaker 2: yet we still get Aboriginal poet and activist Jim Everett,
41:06
Speaker 2: now refusing to attend a court hearing on charges over
41:09
Speaker 2: an anti logging protests, saying he's saying he doesn't recognize
41:13
Speaker 2: what he calls our colonial courts. As he puts it,
41:17
Speaker 2: the Colonial Court of Tasmania has no jurisdiction over my action.
41:22
Speaker 2: Joining me Louise Roberts, Skine New's contributor and Liz Stora
41:26
Speaker 2: of the Late debate here on Sky News at weeknights
41:28
Speaker 2: at ten pm at Louise Roberts, thank you. I'll start
41:33
Speaker 2: with you. Jim Everett saying he does not recognize our
41:36
Speaker 2: colonial courts. But elsewhere he says he's also got an
41:39
Speaker 2: Aboriginal passport issued by the average provisional government that said
41:44
Speaker 2: he has an Australian passport as well to get our
41:48
Speaker 2: colonial money, colonial jobs, colonial center link and colonial age pension.
41:54
Speaker 2: Is this having your colonial cake and eating it.
41:58
Speaker 12: Yes, I would agree with you on that, Andrew. So
42:00
Speaker 12: I think, look, trees are a very emotive issue, and
42:02
Speaker 12: I do sympathize with the logging situation chopping down those
42:05
Speaker 12: giant eucallipse. But you can't pick and choose which laws
42:09
Speaker 12: apply to you in this country. And I'm certainly not
42:11
Speaker 12: going to condone law breaking. We are trespassing on a
42:14
Speaker 12: logging area. The fact is is that now a warrant
42:17
Speaker 12: out for his arrest, he has to go to court,
42:18
Speaker 12: he has to face the consequences of his action. And
42:21
Speaker 12: also he's made an issue about you know, there's a
42:25
Speaker 12: black man or a white man, and he said that,
42:27
Speaker 12: you know, saving trees shouldn't be that issue. But he's
42:30
Speaker 12: made of that issue by saying, I'm not going to
42:33
Speaker 12: have the laws of the colonial laws or the white
42:35
Speaker 12: person's laws apply to me. So he's trying to have
42:38
Speaker 12: his cake and needed to colonial cake on many fronts,
42:41
Speaker 12: and it's not acceptable.
42:44
Speaker 2: Liz don't you think that if this whole rotten colonial
42:48
Speaker 2: system is one who rejects that, he should reject the
42:51
Speaker 2: benefits as well.
42:53
Speaker 9: Of course, but we're not going to see that anytime soon, Andrew,
42:56
Speaker 9: this was actually the first I'd heard of the Australian
43:00
Speaker 9: Aboriginal rather provisional government, so I did a bit of homework.
43:04
Speaker 9: Turns out it's some just wacky kind of separatist movement
43:07
Speaker 9: formed in July nineteen ninety by some activists with the
43:11
Speaker 9: stated aim of forming a legitimate Aboriginal government and an
43:16
Speaker 9: Aboriginal nation state. But is it any wonder that activists
43:21
Speaker 9: like Emirate feels so emboldened when for years now our governments,
43:26
Speaker 9: be it local, state or federal, have been introducing race
43:30
Speaker 9: based policies with blitzkreg like speed. These guys feel like
43:35
Speaker 9: they've actually got a case to say, well, I'm not
43:38
Speaker 9: subject to any of the laws of the land. I'm special.
43:41
Speaker 9: These don't apply to me. It's time we go the
43:44
Speaker 9: way of New Zealand now, Andrew. Just since the New
43:49
Speaker 9: Zealand swore in their new new emphasis on new government
43:56
Speaker 9: last November, they have repealed approximately a race based laws
44:01
Speaker 9: that enshrine special rights for Maori people and it's a
44:06
Speaker 9: wonder to see. And a lot of these laws are
44:09
Speaker 9: similar to ones that we have here in Australia, i e.
44:13
Speaker 9: Giving Maori's a special say on environmental issues, i e.
44:18
Speaker 9: Really posing a big problem to Maori kids in state
44:22
Speaker 9: care with these onerous conditions placed upon carers that they
44:26
Speaker 9: must be connected to family, must be connected to culture. Again,
44:29
Speaker 9: this is another issue that we see here in Australia.
44:33
Speaker 9: It's time for our governments. I don't think this one
44:36
Speaker 9: will do it anytime soon, but the coalition government in
44:40
Speaker 9: New Zealand is making great headway and we need to
44:42
Speaker 9: see similar here. They simply can't go on.
44:46
Speaker 2: Well. I think this Aboriginal Provisional government actually is probably
44:49
Speaker 2: even older than that involved characters like Michael Mansell and
44:53
Speaker 2: Jeff Clark issuing their own passports. Yes they were found
44:58
Speaker 2: to see Colonel Gaddafi, my goodness, but I have to say, Louise,
45:04
Speaker 2: there's another backlash since the voice was the feeder. I
45:07
Speaker 2: really think there's been a shift, you know, in our
45:10
Speaker 2: culture now. A council in Adelaide is reversed his decision
45:14
Speaker 2: to band citizenship ceremonies on Australia, which is a very
45:17
Speaker 2: woke thing to do. For a while, councilors are saying,
45:20
Speaker 2: I still think the day is too divisive. But they
45:22
Speaker 2: polled rate players and found those that responded most were
45:26
Speaker 2: actually all four celebrated the day with citizenship ceremonies.
45:29
Speaker 12: What does that tell you, Well, it tells me that
45:32
Speaker 12: the good people of Only in South Australia deserve a
45:34
Speaker 12: council which actually represents them, because clearly this council does
45:38
Speaker 12: not I mean get rid of them.
45:39
Speaker 1: Seriously.
45:40
Speaker 12: Sixty percent of those polled said they were quite happy
45:43
Speaker 12: for the citizenship ceremonies who remain on January twenty sixth.
45:46
Speaker 12: So why do they create this chaos? Why did they
45:50
Speaker 12: create this issue within the good city of Only. I
45:53
Speaker 12: mean clearly there was no appetite for it from the
45:55
Speaker 12: residents themselves. It was the councilors who thought, oh, you know,
45:59
Speaker 12: we better be care, we better not offend anyone. But
46:01
Speaker 12: it just created a crisis out of nothing, and what
46:04
Speaker 12: a waste of money and a complete own goal by
46:06
Speaker 12: that council.
46:09
Speaker 2: Well, I have to say some of the councilors voted
46:11
Speaker 2: it against the band last year and celebrating now and
46:15
Speaker 2: credits to the councilors have changed their mind thinking it's
46:17
Speaker 2: not me that counts, it's what the ratepayers think. But
46:21
Speaker 2: I have to say, Liz, here's so the voice in
46:24
Speaker 2: small You know how everyone of that particular class of
46:28
Speaker 2: people that were pushing it thought everyone that agrees with us,
46:31
Speaker 2: all the business folks, all the sporting elite, they all
46:35
Speaker 2: agree with us. It took a vote to actually tell them, hey,
46:37
Speaker 2: you're living in a bubble here again with.
46:39
Speaker 9: This council, and over sixty percent of their constituents said no,
46:44
Speaker 9: keep it on Australia twenty six. It's a hard pill
46:47
Speaker 9: for the activists to swallow. Andrew that Australia Day will
46:51
Speaker 9: actually always be the twenty six because you can't change
46:55
Speaker 9: a birthday. It is the birthdate of modern Australia. So
46:59
Speaker 9: even if ten technically you don't celebrate it on that day,
47:02
Speaker 9: it will always be Australia Day. Big props to Counselor
47:06
Speaker 9: Rebecca what's her last name Rogers forgetting this up, but
47:10
Speaker 9: actually only got up by two votes, so the vote
47:13
Speaker 9: was seven five. Just goes to show you that almost
47:15
Speaker 9: half that council were more than willing to put their
47:18
Speaker 9: own personal beliefs on the issue above what their constituents
47:23
Speaker 9: had told them, the people who had elected them to
47:25
Speaker 9: represent them had told them they wanted to happen hope.
47:28
Speaker 9: These guys were determined to represent the forty percent.
47:32
Speaker 2: Take a note of the names very quickly. Luisa Traveling
47:36
Speaker 2: Report in Australia today does as a doctor's specialists. Child
47:40
Speaker 2: mental health Partitions signed an open letter saying they have
47:43
Speaker 2: serious professional concerns about a document commission on New South
47:46
Speaker 2: Wales Health they'll go to working out clinical guards for
47:50
Speaker 2: youth transgender services. These expertci is making falsehome sleading claims,
47:55
Speaker 2: for instance, that puberty blockers are safe, effective and reverse.
48:00
Speaker 2: I wonder whether we need really an inquiry now after
48:04
Speaker 2: so much damaging evidence overseas about transgender services.
48:08
Speaker 12: I agree, and that damaging evidence is the children, vulnerable
48:12
Speaker 12: children who've gone through this treatment and now regret it
48:15
Speaker 12: and they've irrevocably changed their lives as well. We do
48:18
Speaker 12: it and need a proper inquiry into this. I mean,
48:20
Speaker 12: eddie parent who's considering this or worried about this at all.
48:24
Speaker 12: It's a massive issue, and it's irreversible issue, and I
48:28
Speaker 12: do feel it's been swept under the car, but that
48:30
Speaker 12: people don't want to ask the hard questions about it
48:32
Speaker 12: for fear of being labeled transphobic or labeled you know,
48:36
Speaker 12: old fashioned or whatever.
48:37
Speaker 2: Correct, Louise, exactly correct, Louis Roberts, let's storro. Thank you
48:42
Speaker 2: both for your time. That's it for me, good night,
