- 0:00Speaker 1: Late Welcome to the Late Debate.
- 0:09Speaker 2: And welcome to the Late Debate. I'm Lizsara, and I'm
- 0:12Speaker 2: so glad you're here.
- 0:14Speaker 1: Joining me tonight are twoman who really need no introduction,
- 0:18Speaker 1: but we'll do one anyway, mister kel Richards.
- 0:21Speaker 2: And Joe Hilda Brand.
- 0:24Speaker 3: I'm glad, thank you, Joe.
- 0:27Speaker 2: That's very reassuring.
- 0:29Speaker 1: Coming up tonight in the papers, both Victoria and New
- 0:34Speaker 1: South Wales are insisting they are going to be the
- 0:37Speaker 1: big deciding state at next year's federal election.
- 0:41Speaker 2: We'll walk you through the polls.
- 0:42Speaker 1: And try and figure out who's telling the truth. Gold
- 0:45Speaker 1: Coast Mayor Tom Tait has been called an Australian for
- 0:49Speaker 1: simply telling a counsel that to sit down.
- 0:53Speaker 2: I would have thought that was.
- 0:54Speaker 1: Pretty Australian and Labor's self inflicted tas mayan salmon saga
- 1:02Speaker 1: continues as they desperately try.
- 1:05Speaker 2: To save face.
- 1:06Speaker 1: But first tonight to Queensland, where the Health Department is
- 1:12Speaker 1: in a heck of a lot of trouble as it's
- 1:15Speaker 1: been discovered that their budget has blown out by six
- 1:19Speaker 1: point four billion dollars. That's a lot of shaggy ladies
- 1:24Speaker 1: and gentlemen people have pointed out, that's enough to build
- 1:27Speaker 1: a second cross river rail.
- 1:30Speaker 2: Now this happened after.
- 1:32Speaker 1: Well a lot of things contributed to this, but it
- 1:35Speaker 1: was discovered that crucial services like birthing suites and mortuaries
- 1:41Speaker 1: were left off the blue plants for new infrastructure, which begs.
- 1:46Speaker 2: The question, who the heck is doing up these plans.
- 1:50Speaker 1: Babies are born every day, people die every day. These
- 1:54Speaker 1: are essential services and you managed to leave them off.
- 1:59Speaker 2: A perfect example of a project.
- 2:01Speaker 1: That nearly doubled, actually over doubled in size in terms
- 2:05Speaker 1: of its cost, without the assistance of any extra add
- 2:09Speaker 1: ons is the Hervey Bay Hospital. It was supposed to
- 2:12Speaker 1: cost forty million dollars. It ended up costing ninety four
- 2:18Speaker 1: million dollars.
- 2:19Speaker 2: So what does the government do.
- 2:21Speaker 1: It's got air all over its face.
- 2:23Speaker 2: How do they handle this pr disaster?
- 2:26Speaker 1: They spend one point two million dollars calling in a
- 2:31Speaker 1: contractor consultant to help them out.
- 2:35Speaker 2: To try and convey what's happened to the public.
- 2:38Speaker 1: We read in the Courier Mail the battled Infrastructure division
- 2:42Speaker 1: of Queensland Health spent one point two million dollars calling
- 2:46Speaker 1: in consultants to write a public relations strategy for its
- 2:50Speaker 1: severely blown out construction pipeline health infrastructure. Queensland, which has
- 2:56Speaker 1: control of more than fourteen billion dollar pipeline projects, then
- 3:01Speaker 1: move to start its own breakaway unit of media spinners
- 3:05Speaker 1: with tasks that included effectively identifying and minimizing emergent media risks.
- 3:13Speaker 1: So not only now do we have the consultants who
- 3:16Speaker 1: have already snaffled up one point two million dollars to
- 3:20Speaker 1: fix this pr crisis, now we've got Queensland Health itself
- 3:24Speaker 1: saying well we'll.
- 3:25Speaker 2: Have our own in house spin doctors.
- 3:28Speaker 1: On top of that, Hell Joe like, we don't pay
- 3:32Speaker 1: these people enough to do their jobs and provide services
- 3:36Speaker 1: as essential as health, then we have to fork out
- 3:40Speaker 1: covering up.
- 3:41Speaker 2: They're absolute ineptity.
- 3:44Speaker 4: You don't fix the debt, you just change the way
- 3:47Speaker 4: people think about it. It seems to me if this
- 3:50Speaker 4: happened in a household, if we'd overspent our money, then
- 3:53Speaker 4: we try to save money. We look at where we
- 3:55Speaker 4: could save money. But if the really important thing is
- 3:58Speaker 4: what people think, then what you do is when the
- 4:01Speaker 4: bowlers come and carry out the sofa in the dining
- 4:03Speaker 4: room table, you just sit all the neighbors know, we're
- 4:06Speaker 4: going Swedish minimalist. You see, that's what they're doing. They
- 4:09Speaker 4: just try to control what people think. Not actually they
- 4:13Speaker 4: over the big budget is fourteen billion dollars. They have
- 4:16Speaker 4: overspent by six billion dollars and they don't want to
- 4:20Speaker 4: save any money. They just want to change what you
- 4:23Speaker 4: think about it.
- 4:24Speaker 1: I mean, they don't want to save money, they just
- 4:25Speaker 1: want to save face.
- 4:27Speaker 2: So what amazing?
- 4:27Speaker 5: So this is the Melissa Cadox school of politics. This
- 4:31Speaker 5: is instead of actually just earning money honestly and paying
- 4:34Speaker 5: off all your debts, you just rack up as much
- 4:36Speaker 5: as you possibly can, and then when someone comes a calling.
- 4:39Speaker 5: So oh, I just think I might pop out for
- 4:41Speaker 5: a quick morning jogs. See your ladder, everybody, and next
- 4:43Speaker 5: thing you.
- 4:44Speaker 3: Know, you're foot foot out on the beach.
- 4:46Speaker 5: Look, I think you guys as usual, you're just being
- 4:49Speaker 5: terribly unfair, terribly unfair. The man by the government, man
- 4:56Speaker 5: Steven Miles, well like that. I just I can't tell
- 4:58Speaker 5: you how much I love the Queensland Side less Left.
- 5:00Speaker 5: But look, this is yet again another example of shining
- 5:06Speaker 5: bureaucratic efficiency because by simply wishing away a six point
- 5:11Speaker 5: four billion dollar cost blowout with a one point two
- 5:14Speaker 5: million dollar media unit. They have actually produced the same
- 5:18Speaker 5: result for let me just check my notes. One six
- 5:22Speaker 5: thousands of the price not an amazing return on investment.
- 5:26Speaker 2: They should have hired you.
- 5:29Speaker 5: I can actually I'm such a good spin doctor. I
- 5:31Speaker 5: can actually spin the spin. So when the spin doctors
- 5:37Speaker 5: get caught out, I'm the one they turn.
- 5:39Speaker 2: To, right, even to help out the spin doctors. Well.
- 5:43Speaker 1: Health Minister Tom Nichols has asked the department to please
- 5:47Speaker 1: justify this expenditure, and the new Treasurer, David Janetski has
- 5:53Speaker 1: vowed to cut back on the state relying on such
- 5:56Speaker 1: contractors and consultants. He's vowed to back to the tune
- 6:01Speaker 1: of six point eight billion dollars over the next four years.
- 6:05Speaker 1: So these guys are in for a rude awakening, Kell,
- 6:08Speaker 1: because if this is what the LMP government of the
- 6:11Speaker 1: next four years is going to look like, You've got
- 6:13Speaker 1: to say a lot of government contractors are feeling pretty nervous,
- 6:17Speaker 1: right Well.
- 6:17Speaker 4: I would think the first thing you do when you
- 6:19Speaker 4: look at the budget where the money is going, you
- 6:22Speaker 4: discover most of it is going on salaries. So what
- 6:25Speaker 4: do you do with all the bureaucrats who've wasted all
- 6:28Speaker 4: the money. You start sacking a few. I mean, I
- 6:31Speaker 4: feel very sorry for the christ of Fula government. They've
- 6:33Speaker 4: inherited a terrible mess. It is a real, real disaster
- 6:38Speaker 4: because not only did labor mismanage, and I do say
- 6:41Speaker 4: the labor left out of different staff Joe, there.
- 6:45Speaker 5: Was a labor rights fault that we lost Queensland to
- 6:47Speaker 5: the labor left.
- 6:48Speaker 4: But still yes, anyway, so in deference to Joe, we'll
- 6:51Speaker 4: admit it was the labor left. But they did a
- 6:53Speaker 4: really bad job of managing the budget, and then they
- 6:56Speaker 4: saw a looming election and they decided the only thing
- 6:59Speaker 4: to do was to spend, spend, spend promises that the
- 7:02Speaker 4: man Chris has inherited all of this. They've had.
- 7:08Speaker 5: Fundations at one point, wasn't it going to be state
- 7:10Speaker 5: run servey?
- 7:11Speaker 3: Oh?
- 7:11Speaker 4: Yes, But they've increased the public service by tens of thousands.
- 7:14Speaker 4: So they're going to have to be a lot of
- 7:16Speaker 4: public servants who go for Chris Afooley to achieve this.
- 7:20Speaker 1: And whenever they talk about that, everyone invokes the name
- 7:23Speaker 1: of Camble Newman.
- 7:24Speaker 2: That's what Camball Newman did, and look what we did
- 7:26Speaker 2: to him.
- 7:27Speaker 1: Because we've won all our well paid government jobs, and
- 7:30Speaker 1: when they're parting with.
- 7:31Speaker 5: Them, speak of all those poor bureaucrats working twenty four
- 7:34Speaker 5: hours a day just helping people fill up their cars
- 7:37Speaker 5: with fuel.
- 7:38Speaker 4: But they're working, they're way from home, so it's.
- 7:41Speaker 2: Okay, the eat of the tax.
- 7:44Speaker 4: It could be worse if they were in America, because
- 7:46Speaker 4: in the United States there's every risk that if you're
- 7:49Speaker 4: a senior public servant and you've served the Joe Biden
- 7:52Speaker 4: government really well, you may be charged with serious crimes
- 7:55Speaker 4: fairly soon or at least what That's what they're starting
- 7:58Speaker 4: to worry about in America. We know that Hunter Biden
- 8:02Speaker 4: has been given by his father this unconditional pardon going
- 8:05Speaker 4: back to twenty fourteen and covering absolutely everything he did
- 8:10Speaker 4: has been charged with, found guilty of, or might have
- 8:13Speaker 4: done that hasn't been discovered yet. Well, now, the suggestion
- 8:16Speaker 4: is that there should be preemptive pardons issued for people
- 8:20Speaker 4: who haven't been charged with anything yet and claiming they
- 8:23Speaker 4: haven't committed any crimes. Great, they should be issued even
- 8:26Speaker 4: before that comes in order to protect them. Let's go
- 8:28Speaker 4: to MSNBC part of the looney Left in America and
- 8:32Speaker 4: see what they have to say about the idea of
- 8:35Speaker 4: preemptive pardons.
- 8:37Speaker 6: I hope that President Biden will also issue preemptive pardons
- 8:42Speaker 6: to all of those people threatened by the unjustice of
- 8:47Speaker 6: what will become the Department of Justice in the Trump administration.
- 8:50Speaker 6: That of course includes Jack Smith and all of his staff,
- 8:54Speaker 6: many Department of Justice lawyers. It includes President Biden himself.
- 8:58Speaker 6: Although we don't know that anyone can legally pardon themselves,
- 9:02Speaker 6: he will need a pardon because he is going to
- 9:05Speaker 6: be harassed and charged for no crimes whatsoever.
- 9:09Speaker 3: Donald Trump has promised that.
- 9:12Speaker 4: And so you think it's only just some linear MSNBC
- 9:15Speaker 4: it doesn't matter. But we're told in the White House
- 9:18Speaker 4: already senior aids to the Biden administration are discussing this
- 9:22Speaker 4: amongst themselves. Should there be pre emptive partns and who
- 9:25Speaker 4: should get the fault He should get a preemptive partner
- 9:28Speaker 4: or Jack Smith, he might give him a preemptive pardon. Now, basically,
- 9:32Speaker 4: what they're doing is reinforcing what President Biden has already said.
- 9:36Speaker 4: He has said his own DOJ Department of Justice is rigged.
- 9:40Speaker 4: That's how Hunter got charged with things. It was only
- 9:43Speaker 4: because the system's rigged. No, I think someone named Trump
- 9:46Speaker 4: has been saying for a long time now. So since
- 9:48Speaker 4: the system is rigged, therefore we have to give preemptive
- 9:51Speaker 4: pardons to people who haven't actually done anything and are
- 9:54Speaker 4: not guilty of anything. It's a wonderful idea, isn't It's.
- 9:56Speaker 5: A brilliant I can't believe we've been going around like
- 9:59Speaker 5: chumps this old time, just pardoning people for crimes they've
- 10:03Speaker 5: actually committed.
- 10:04Speaker 3: We need to get in there. I can't imagine.
- 10:07Speaker 5: Every husband in the world go, oh, this is fantastic, honey.
- 10:10Speaker 5: I'd like to apologize for whatever it is you may
- 10:13Speaker 5: find out that I've done over the last ten years.
- 10:16Speaker 5: I'm terribly, terribly sorry. But look, here's my pardon.
- 10:20Speaker 4: Turning up with flowers for your wife, didn't She says,
- 10:22Speaker 4: what have you done? And you say nothing? Now but
- 10:24Speaker 4: next Thursday.
- 10:25Speaker 3: I'm not sure that's right, that's right? But this, but
- 10:27Speaker 3: this is absolutely amazing.
- 10:28Speaker 5: Firstly, the howlkel, I'm sure you would have picked up
- 10:31Speaker 5: on it. MSNBC has labeled it the Department of Unjustice in.
- 10:36Speaker 3: Justice not injus.
- 10:37Speaker 5: It's like, that's a crappy enough pun as it is
- 10:41Speaker 5: it's like is your news limited? That was Guy rund
- 10:44Speaker 5: Along Q and a by the way, hi guy, how
- 10:46Speaker 5: are you?
- 10:46Speaker 3: How's a new career going? Anyway?
- 10:49Speaker 5: But the but the idea that you would actually think that, Okay,
- 10:54Speaker 5: the Department of Justice, which we are saying is and
- 10:58Speaker 5: correct me if I've got the lodge wrong here. The
- 11:01Speaker 5: Department of Justice, which we say is so precious and
- 11:05Speaker 5: pure that we cannot risk it being corrupted by Donald Trump. However,
- 11:09Speaker 5: is also corrupted enough in its current form to not
- 11:12Speaker 5: be able to guarantee a fair prosecution and trial of
- 11:15Speaker 5: Hunter Biden, which is why I therefore have to pardon him.
- 11:19Speaker 5: But I also have to pardon all the other people
- 11:22Speaker 5: in the future who the Department of Justice, which is
- 11:25Speaker 5: now the Department of Unjustice as a department as opposed
- 11:28Speaker 5: to the Department of Injustice. So the Department of grammatical
- 11:32Speaker 5: Injustice is now bad er than it was. So now
- 11:39Speaker 5: what is he to just pardon everybody? Just everybody?
- 11:42Speaker 7: I think that's what.
- 11:43Speaker 3: They're That's what they're like. You get a parton, and
- 11:45Speaker 3: you get a parton, and you get a party, and
- 11:46Speaker 3: you get a parton. Look on your seat.
- 11:48Speaker 1: But it's a part of The hilarious part about this
- 11:50Speaker 1: is it's an outright admission of guilt.
- 11:53Speaker 2: Why do you need all.
- 11:54Speaker 1: These pardons if nobody's done anything wrong, What are you
- 11:58Speaker 1: afraid of? Even if does prosecute certain figures, which he
- 12:03Speaker 1: has threatened to do, if they're.
- 12:06Speaker 2: Innocent, what do you care at all time?
- 12:08Speaker 5: Because of the process, the Department I'mjustice targets the just.
- 12:12Speaker 5: That's it's going to be the opposite stay. It's like
- 12:14Speaker 5: bizarro world. If you're say it's so bad, the Department
- 12:16Speaker 5: I'm Justice is suddenly going to become evil. It's going
- 12:19Speaker 5: to go, Oh, I've got to find all the people.
- 12:21Speaker 3: Who have followed the law over the past four years.
- 12:24Speaker 1: Stration I always say when it comes to the Department
- 12:26Speaker 1: of Justice, the joke is in the name. I mean this,
- 12:30Speaker 1: this blanket pardon which excuses Hunter Biden from anything he's
- 12:35Speaker 1: done since January two thousand.
- 12:37Speaker 3: Michael Jackson's son is also going.
- 12:38Speaker 1: To part interesting year that that is the year that
- 12:42Speaker 1: the Ukrainian government was overthrown while Joe Biden was VP
- 12:48Speaker 1: and in charge of Ukrainian relations. Then Hunter in twenty
- 12:53Speaker 1: fourteen was mysteriously put on the board of Burisma, a
- 12:56Speaker 1: Ukrainian energy company, despite Hunter having absolutely no relevant skills.
- 13:02Speaker 1: He then set up meat and greets between that energy
- 13:05Speaker 1: company and people working for a biolab They're in Ukraine,
- 13:11Speaker 1: which was started under the Obama administration. The point of
- 13:15Speaker 1: the story is a lot of Ukrainian dollars to the
- 13:18Speaker 1: tune of millions were pocketed by the Biden family during
- 13:24Speaker 1: this time. Hunter Biden was merely the bad boy for Daddy,
- 13:28Speaker 1: and by giving Hunter this pardon, Joe Biden.
- 13:33Speaker 2: Has let himself off the hook.
- 13:35Speaker 1: Remember Trump was actually impeached for trying to uncover the
- 13:40Speaker 1: Biden crime family, the very crimes that they were very
- 13:44Speaker 1: worried about. Trump uncovering was the very thing he was
- 13:48Speaker 1: impeached for.
- 13:49Speaker 2: And now Joe Biden's.
- 13:51Speaker 1: Just gone, I'm not putting up with that again. I'm
- 13:54Speaker 1: just giving this blanket pardon. My family is now in
- 13:58Speaker 1: the clear. But this has been spoken about, these blanket
- 14:01Speaker 1: pardons for all and sundry for quite a while. Now
- 14:06Speaker 1: check out this guy, Ed Markey. He's a US Senator,
- 14:08Speaker 1: a Democrat. Of course, he said last month. If it's
- 14:13Speaker 1: clear by January nineteenth that revenge is his Trump's intention,
- 14:18Speaker 1: then I would recommend to President Biden that he provides
- 14:21Speaker 1: those preemptive pardons to people, because that's really what our
- 14:24Speaker 1: country is.
- 14:25Speaker 2: Going to kneed next year.
- 14:27Speaker 1: He emphasized the healing potential of a presidential pardon. Quote
- 14:32Speaker 1: Nick Nixon's pardon allowed our country to just close that
- 14:36Speaker 1: chapter and just move on to a new era.
- 14:39Speaker 2: I think that.
- 14:40Speaker 1: Joe Biden would be very well be in the same situation,
- 14:44Speaker 1: and people will look back and say, that's what our
- 14:47Speaker 1: country wants.
- 14:49Speaker 2: So the beacon no justice.
- 14:52Speaker 5: I'm enjoying this so much so so I'd have to
- 14:54Speaker 5: make sure I'm just.
- 14:55Speaker 3: On the right page here.
- 14:56Speaker 5: So the moral beacon of the current Democratic Party is
- 15:02Speaker 5: Richard Nixon, post.
- 15:05Speaker 3: Watergates the irony, Like, not before we knew he did it,
- 15:09Speaker 3: but after he went out and was like pardoning everyone.
- 15:11Speaker 5: Of the LA that's your guy. You know, we need
- 15:15Speaker 5: to turn back. You know, it's like there Ben Shiffley,
- 15:17Speaker 5: the Light on the Hill. We need to look back
- 15:19Speaker 5: at the heroes of Democratic past, but.
- 15:22Speaker 3: See what they were doing. What did Richard Nixon do?
- 15:25Speaker 3: After all?
- 15:26Speaker 4: Right, but the people who are wanting these pre empty
- 15:29Speaker 4: pardons are the same people who were so ready to
- 15:32Speaker 4: rush in and defend the fact that Joe has given Hunter,
- 15:36Speaker 4: so many Democratic leaders have rushed in decided it was
- 15:38Speaker 4: wonderful that Joe gave Hunter a pardon? Or did they?
- 15:43Speaker 4: Chuck Schumer is the leader of the Democrats in the Senate.
- 15:46Speaker 4: Here's how strongly he came to the defense of Joe
- 15:49Speaker 4: and Hunter.
- 15:51Speaker 8: Agree with some of your Democratic College sy that President
- 15:53Speaker 8: Biden's parted a Hunter Biden and his wrong or unwise
- 15:57Speaker 8: puts personal interest.
- 15:58Speaker 3: Ahead of duty. I got nothing for you on that.
- 16:01Speaker 9: Can I pull up on that?
- 16:02Speaker 2: Concerned black transparency, lack of honesty.
- 16:05Speaker 5: Around my institute.
- 16:06Speaker 3: As I said, I got nothing for you on that noe.
- 16:11Speaker 8: Parting anyone on the way out of office, Stanley members
- 16:14Speaker 8: set support.
- 16:15Speaker 3: President, Thank you. I've got nothing for you on that.
- 16:20Speaker 10: But the question is they talked about January sixth, parties.
- 16:24Speaker 10: This is a playbook for incoming President Trump. Isn't this
- 16:27Speaker 10: a problem? Did he not establish a bad precedent for partners?
- 16:31Speaker 3: I got nothing for you on that. I want any
- 16:33Speaker 3: other subjects.
- 16:35Speaker 4: It is wonderful, I've got nothing for you on that.
- 16:38Speaker 4: I love that he's not prepared to defend the hunt
- 16:40Speaker 4: of Biden pardon once quite would like one himself, just
- 16:44Speaker 4: in case to be covered. It's not the only thing
- 16:46Speaker 4: the Biden government is doing. They got money.
- 16:49Speaker 1: Very concerned with pardons because Trump has elected very very
- 16:54Speaker 1: strong characters, absolute bulldogs, to head up his do O
- 16:58Speaker 1: J to head up advisory of the FBI, etc.
- 17:02Speaker 2: And so on.
- 17:03Speaker 1: So it's the good reason that these people want their pardons.
- 17:06Speaker 2: They know what's coming.
- 17:07Speaker 1: But something else the Democrats are very scared about will
- 17:10Speaker 1: be ruined by the Trump administration is the billions of
- 17:14Speaker 1: dollars they have been funneling into little agency here, little
- 17:19Speaker 1: nonprofit there, to the tune of one hundred billion dollars
- 17:25Speaker 1: throughout the Biden administration to solve the climate crisis. Of course,
- 17:30Speaker 1: so today we learn that fifty four Democratic lawmakers have
- 17:34Speaker 1: penned a letter asking Biden to quickly distribute the climate
- 17:38Speaker 1: funds before he leaves office, before Trump.
- 17:41Speaker 2: Can ruin it all.
- 17:43Speaker 1: We read in Politico today, fifty four Democratic members of
- 17:47Speaker 1: Congress has signed on to a letter asking President Joe
- 17:50Speaker 1: Biden to lock in future climate change initiatives by dispersing
- 17:54Speaker 1: the promised funds before he leaves office. The letter urges
- 17:58Speaker 1: the move to quote ad future politicization or manipulation of
- 18:03Speaker 1: climate programs end quote before President elect Donald Trump and
- 18:08Speaker 1: a Republican led Congress take over.
- 18:11Speaker 2: In twenty twenty five.
- 18:13Speaker 1: Now, this letter came out the same day as the
- 18:16Speaker 1: Biden administration proudly announced that it had sponsored over twenty
- 18:21Speaker 1: three thousand agencies using funds that they were allowed to
- 18:26Speaker 1: use via their House This for an ironically named bill.
- 18:31Speaker 2: The Inflation Reduction Act.
- 18:33Speaker 1: They've literally reached the threshold of the expenditure, which was
- 18:38Speaker 1: one hundred billion dollars, and.
- 18:41Speaker 2: They're still pressing for more.
- 18:43Speaker 1: Well, our mates at Project Veritas, you might remember these guys.
- 18:47Speaker 1: They love doing these undercover interviews with a person sitting
- 18:51Speaker 1: down on the other side of the table has absolutely
- 18:53Speaker 1: no idea they're talking to a reporter from Project Veritas.
- 18:58Speaker 2: They went undercover to to someone from the.
- 19:01Speaker 1: EPA who, unbeknownst to him, just gave them the mother
- 19:06Speaker 1: load of what they're up to behind the scenes in
- 19:08Speaker 1: the Biden administration.
- 19:11Speaker 8: So an EPA so a lot of times amazing.
- 19:16Speaker 3: So I do you know.
- 19:17Speaker 8: The PLAT production back cool?
- 19:20Speaker 2: Yes?
- 19:20Speaker 8: Okay, Biden's timate long, yes, yeah, So I do hire impremutations.
- 19:26Speaker 8: I work with like Biden appointees, somebody that.
- 19:29Speaker 2: We've given out.
- 19:30Speaker 3: We've given out.
- 19:31Speaker 8: Like tens of billions.
- 19:33Speaker 2: Of dollars like I had last year.
- 19:35Speaker 8: I'll hid we given out like fifty million dollars. Fifty
- 19:37Speaker 8: million dollars billion, Billy would be fifty billion dollars now
- 19:42Speaker 8: just having to get the money out is half as
- 19:43Speaker 8: possible before they come in, like top really basically after
- 19:46Speaker 8: it all is now, I mean now would always like
- 19:48Speaker 8: it truly feels like run at work, throwing like the
- 19:52Speaker 8: part off the top when they come in, we haven't
- 19:55Speaker 8: gotten out the door and.
- 19:56Speaker 2: They get stopped in.
- 19:58Speaker 3: Yeah, like two months.
- 20:01Speaker 8: No, I think they gave them the money because it
- 20:02Speaker 8: was harder if it was a government run program they
- 20:05Speaker 8: could get the money your way one, because it was
- 20:10Speaker 8: it was an experience politic and comboining for like these
- 20:13Speaker 8: are basically like non profit intitutionis that morning covering the
- 20:16Speaker 8: entire country. They could have been a coy agency, but
- 20:18Speaker 8: because they aren't a sper from the publican decision and
- 20:22Speaker 8: these guys are like saving the world literally.
- 20:27Speaker 1: An insurance policy in case those Trumpers get in. Well,
- 20:32Speaker 1: they're on the way now, kel and I'm sure that
- 20:34Speaker 1: they will be in this nonsense act asap.
- 20:38Speaker 4: One of these guys described it as throwing gold bars
- 20:41Speaker 4: off the Titanic, which is That's not the only thing
- 20:44Speaker 4: happening in the United States at the moment. There's an
- 20:46Speaker 4: important case currently before the U. S. Supreme Court Tennessee
- 20:50Speaker 4: pastor law making it illegal to give transgender or gendersphoric
- 20:56Speaker 4: children of the kind of chemical treatment, the kind of
- 21:00Speaker 4: chemical castration, or puberty blockers, or any sort of medical
- 21:03Speaker 4: treatment while they are still children. That's now illegal in Tennessee,
- 21:08Speaker 4: not just in Tennessee, in about half of the American states,
- 21:11Speaker 4: about twenty six American states. So the Supreme Court justices have,
- 21:15Speaker 4: according to The Daily Mail, have hinted where they stand
- 21:18Speaker 4: on this transgender medicine. They've they're hearing an appeal from
- 21:23Speaker 4: the Biden government saying we want the Tennessee law canceled.
- 21:27Speaker 4: If it's canceled, of course, it will be canceled in
- 21:29Speaker 4: all the other twenty five states that have got it.
- 21:32Speaker 4: And the kind of arguments that have been put up,
- 21:34Speaker 4: some of them are interesting, some of them are quite strange.
- 21:38Speaker 4: For example, Justice Jackson, an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court,
- 21:42Speaker 4: is saying banning this sort of transgender treatment for children. Well,
- 21:46Speaker 4: it's like banning into racial marriage.
- 21:51Speaker 11: The question was whether it was discriminatory because it applied
- 21:55Speaker 11: to both races, and it wasn't necessarily invidious or whatever.
- 21:59Speaker 11: But I read the statute here, excuse me the case here.
- 22:03Speaker 11: You know, the court starts off by saying that Virginia
- 22:06Speaker 11: is now one of sixteen states which prohibit and punished
- 22:08Speaker 11: marriages on the basis of racial classifications. And when you
- 22:12Speaker 11: look at the structure of that law, it looks in
- 22:14Speaker 11: terms of incontinuing you can't do something that is inconsistent
- 22:18Speaker 11: with your own characteristics. It's sort of the same thing.
- 22:22Speaker 4: As far as I could follow her reasoning, she's now
- 22:24Speaker 4: saying child is now a race and has to be
- 22:28Speaker 4: treated as a race. No, children are people who don't
- 22:31Speaker 4: understand consequences. There are reasons why children cannot choose on
- 22:35Speaker 4: their own to make decisions which will alter them for
- 22:38Speaker 4: the rest of their lives, because they're not good about
- 22:40Speaker 4: thinking about how things are going to be the Wednesday
- 22:43Speaker 4: after next. Children can't understand consequences. And there are a
- 22:47Speaker 4: lot of risks in this disputed surgery. And this came
- 22:50Speaker 4: up in an exchange between Donald Trump's prosecutor is Solicitor
- 22:55Speaker 4: General and Judge Alito.
- 22:59Speaker 7: After the filing of your petition, of course, we saw
- 23:03Speaker 7: the release of the Cast Report in the United Kingdom
- 23:10Speaker 7: which found a complete lack of high quality evidence showing
- 23:14Speaker 7: that the benefits of the treatments in question here outweigh
- 23:20Speaker 7: the risks. I wonder if you would like to stand
- 23:24Speaker 7: by the statement that you made in your petition.
- 23:27Speaker 12: I of course acknowledged Justice Alito that there is a
- 23:30Speaker 12: lot of debate happening here and abroad about the proper
- 23:33Speaker 12: model of delivery of this care and exactly when adolescents
- 23:36Speaker 12: should receive it, and how to identify the adolescence for
- 23:39Speaker 12: whom it would be helpful. But I stand by that
- 23:41Speaker 12: there is a consensus that these treatments can be medically
- 23:45Speaker 12: necessary for some adolescents.
- 23:47Speaker 4: And she says that after the Tavistock Clinic in Britain
- 23:51Speaker 4: was closed down because of what it was doing to
- 23:53Speaker 4: young children. The report that was referred to, the Cash Report,
- 23:56Speaker 4: was done by doctor Hillary Cash. Baron is Cash, who
- 23:59Speaker 4: is an expert in pediatrics. There's there's a huge debate
- 24:02Speaker 4: in the community, and it looks like what is happening
- 24:05Speaker 4: in the so called gender affirming treatment. That is, you
- 24:09Speaker 4: take children who have gender dysphoria, who were confused about
- 24:12Speaker 4: gender and you affirm their confusion. That's what gender affirming
- 24:16Speaker 4: sort of treatment is. It's being practiced in Australia by
- 24:19Speaker 4: gender affirming clinics, and we are worse off than they are, Liz,
- 24:24Speaker 4: because we're not discussing it directly.
- 24:26Speaker 3: Don't think we don't allow operation.
- 24:29Speaker 4: Four or five times we've had this proposals as something
- 24:33Speaker 4: the Senate should look at, and we're just not looking
- 24:36Speaker 4: at it. We're not thinking about it, we're not discussing it,
- 24:38Speaker 4: we're not debating it. And so little children are having
- 24:41Speaker 4: their bodies changed, but.
- 24:43Speaker 5: They're not dark how they're not don't we don't allow.
- 24:45Speaker 5: It's against the law in Australia for any surgical procedures
- 24:48Speaker 5: against minors transit.
- 24:49Speaker 4: The medical procedures of puberting blockers damage them for life.
- 24:54Speaker 1: And there have been cases Joe like double missectomies.
- 24:58Speaker 3: Not for underta.
- 25:01Speaker 1: And get certain yes it was approved for a certain
- 25:03Speaker 1: fifteen year old, but certainly where Senator pull Into Hanson
- 25:08Speaker 1: has tried five times now to get upper movement in
- 25:12Speaker 1: the Senate, which simply says, let's have an inquiry into this.
- 25:15Speaker 1: The UK have banned it. It is no longer happening
- 25:19Speaker 1: in the UK. The CAST report was so comprehensive they
- 25:22Speaker 1: came out and said, we are not transitioning children any more.
- 25:26Speaker 2: No more cross sex hormones, no more gender blockers. Sorry,
- 25:31Speaker 2: what am I looking for?
- 25:32Speaker 1: The Tabubany book huby blockers, thank you very much, which
- 25:37Speaker 1: have been shown to affect your fertility for the rest
- 25:41Speaker 1: of your life, as well as bone density and any number.
- 25:45Speaker 2: Of other issues.
- 25:46Speaker 1: We've had child psychiatrists and pediatricians here in Australia even
- 25:51Speaker 1: stood down from their jobs because they refuse to go
- 25:55Speaker 1: along the narrative of gender affirming care.
- 25:58Speaker 2: They said, I can't do it. It goes against my morals.
- 26:01Speaker 2: This is completely wrong.
- 26:03Speaker 1: But we seem to be, like you say, kel behind
- 26:06Speaker 1: the rest of the world here because several Western countries
- 26:09Speaker 1: now have banned the practice all together, and as you say,
- 26:13Speaker 1: we're not even looking into it.
- 26:14Speaker 5: Well, I think that the thing that happens is going
- 26:16Speaker 5: to happen in the US, I believe, and I think
- 26:19Speaker 5: that was what the rather strange argument being made by
- 26:23Speaker 5: Justice Jackson was comparing to interracial marriage is very strong because, well,
- 26:26Speaker 5: I think, but I don't think the Supreme Court, and
- 26:29Speaker 5: I might be wrong, but I don't think the Supreme
- 26:31Speaker 5: Court can tell a state that has jurisdiction over a
- 26:35Speaker 5: matter that it can and can't do something because it's
- 26:38Speaker 5: harmful to children, or because it's this and that, or
- 26:40Speaker 5: because you.
- 26:41Speaker 3: Know this argument. You know the Cast Review in the
- 26:43Speaker 3: UK said this or that.
- 26:44Speaker 5: All the Supreme Court can do is decide whether or
- 26:47Speaker 5: not what the state is doing is unconstitutional. If it
- 26:50Speaker 5: violates the US Constitution, then they can say, sorry, you
- 26:52Speaker 5: can't do this, because our job is to uphold the
- 26:55Speaker 5: US Constitution. And I think what the Justice would have
- 26:57Speaker 5: been saying is that.
- 27:01Speaker 3: It's hard to sort of get.
- 27:02Speaker 5: An idea, but the Constitution says you're not allowed to
- 27:05Speaker 5: treat people differently based on race. She said with Tennessee
- 27:08Speaker 5: before tried to say, well, we're banning into racial marriage.
- 27:12Speaker 5: We're not treating people differently based on race. The ban
- 27:15Speaker 5: applies both to both equally, and that would be what
- 27:17Speaker 5: the state is saying here that it applies to everybody,
- 27:21Speaker 5: so it's not actually unconstitutional. Whereas the whereas the Supreme
- 27:27Speaker 5: Court could potentially find that anything that has some laws
- 27:31Speaker 5: for some people, say for example women and roe versus
- 27:34Speaker 5: Wade or versus men, and not for other people, that
- 27:37Speaker 5: could be unconstitual.
- 27:38Speaker 3: I think that's the arguments she's trying to make, but
- 27:40Speaker 3: it's a weird.
- 27:41Speaker 2: One in a very nonsensical way.
- 27:43Speaker 1: I don't see how that is very relevant at all,
- 27:46Speaker 1: Justice Jackson. But of course we know the Supreme Court
- 27:48Speaker 1: does have a majority of conservatives on it, so I'm
- 27:52Speaker 1: sure I'm pretty confident we can.
- 27:55Speaker 2: Be confident of a good ruling in this case.
- 27:58Speaker 1: Back to Australia now, where Daniel Molino Labor MP has
- 28:03Speaker 1: called Australia Day contraversal.
- 28:07Speaker 2: Here he was last night talking to Shari.
- 28:11Speaker 13: Australia Day has evolved further and it is fair to
- 28:14Speaker 13: say that it has become somewhat controversial in parts of
- 28:19Speaker 13: our community, and I think we're in an interesting transition
- 28:22Speaker 13: at the moment with Australia Day. I think as a
- 28:24Speaker 13: country we are going through a process where different parts
- 28:28Speaker 13: of our community are wanting to treat Australia Day differently.
- 28:31Speaker 13: I don't know what the endpoint is going to be.
- 28:33Speaker 13: What I'd say is there's no single rule here.
- 28:36Speaker 2: What are you talking about, mate?
- 28:37Speaker 1: The polls all say, the balls all say the vast
- 28:41Speaker 1: majority of Australians one to Australia Day left alone, one
- 28:45Speaker 1: to celebrate our national day and the glorious nation that
- 28:49Speaker 1: we live in. It seems to me this entire narrative
- 28:52Speaker 1: is around telling us that we can only be ashamed.
- 28:55Speaker 2: Of what the settlers did when they.
- 28:57Speaker 1: Came here, and we can't be proud of what they
- 28:59Speaker 1: actually achieved.
- 29:01Speaker 2: This makes absolutely no sense.
- 29:04Speaker 1: And like I keep saying, Joe, you can't change the
- 29:07Speaker 1: date of a birthday, and we all know even if
- 29:10Speaker 1: he did change the date, everyone would still have the
- 29:14Speaker 1: same issue with the new date because you are essentially
- 29:17Speaker 1: still celebrating the exact same thing.
- 29:20Speaker 3: Well, there are lots of sort of bvides can do this,
- 29:22Speaker 3: I mean.
- 29:23Speaker 5: The first thing to say is that Danie Moleno was
- 29:25Speaker 5: just the epitome of a person, a politician who is
- 29:28Speaker 5: trying to say absolutely nothing while keeping the words coming
- 29:31Speaker 5: from his mouth so it didn't look like it was
- 29:33Speaker 5: absolutely nothing, while at the same time having a panic attack,
- 29:36Speaker 5: while at the same time trying to realize the exact
- 29:40Speaker 5: composition of his electorate of Fraser but I think. I
- 29:46Speaker 5: think firstly, there will be obviously politicians who represent the
- 29:51Speaker 5: lefier and leftier, more affluent in the suburbs, who are
- 29:55Speaker 5: worried about a backlash against them from all the activists
- 29:58Speaker 5: who don't like Australia or whatever and are trying to
- 30:01Speaker 5: get seats back from the Greens in the case of
- 30:03Speaker 5: the Labor Party.
- 30:04Speaker 1: And so that's just he doesn't actually believe that he's
- 30:07Speaker 1: shilling for votes.
- 30:08Speaker 5: Well, what's he actually saying. He's saying, he's not saying anything.
- 30:11Speaker 5: He's not even staking a position on it. He wants
- 30:16Speaker 5: to be seen quite evidently, quite evidently, it is controversial.
- 30:19Speaker 5: There are protests against it all the time. Point he's
- 30:22Speaker 5: not going into swing. He's not going to swing in
- 30:24Speaker 5: for it, and he's not going to swing in against it.
- 30:26Speaker 5: He's just saying absolutely nothing. I, however, have the perfect
- 30:30Speaker 5: solution for everybody. Do you tell This week marks the
- 30:33Speaker 5: I think one hundred and seventieth anniversary of the Eureka
- 30:36Speaker 5: Stockade Rebellion, when the Mighty Miners under Peter Lalor rose
- 30:40Speaker 5: up against the injustice and tyranny of a government. And
- 30:45Speaker 5: it's got absolutely everything you want in a national Day. Firstly,
- 30:47Speaker 5: the Eureka flag is an awesome flag.
- 30:49Speaker 3: It looks really good.
- 30:51Speaker 5: It's been it's been co opted by the far right
- 30:53Speaker 5: and the far left. You could bring it back to
- 30:55Speaker 5: the mainstream and say no, you guys don't get to
- 30:57Speaker 5: take it.
- 30:58Speaker 3: Sorry cfm AU.
- 30:59Speaker 5: Sorry is the white supremacist neo Nazis we're taking It's
- 31:02Speaker 5: going to be our flag now.
- 31:03Speaker 3: It looks really good, looks better.
- 31:04Speaker 5: It wouldn't be controversial at all than any of the
- 31:07Speaker 5: other flags that have been put forward as a suggestion
- 31:10Speaker 5: to replace the current standard that we have.
- 31:13Speaker 3: This is a moment that appeals you're talking.
- 31:16Speaker 1: About replacing the flag as well as Australia Day.
- 31:19Speaker 3: Everything, because you've got firstly, you've got what a moment,
- 31:24Speaker 3: what a moment of national unity?
- 31:25Speaker 5: Right, This is Australia's answer to This is Australia's answer
- 31:29Speaker 5: to the Boston Tea Party, because these are miners rising
- 31:31Speaker 5: up and say no taxation without representation. But it's also
- 31:36Speaker 5: workers rising up for their rights, and so again it
- 31:39Speaker 5: appeals to both the right and the friends of liberty
- 31:42Speaker 5: and no taxation without representation, and it also appeals to
- 31:46Speaker 5: the left because of course it's all about defending workers'
- 31:49Speaker 5: rights in the face of an exploitative colonialist government, and
- 31:54Speaker 5: just to even just put this perfect little cherry on
- 31:58Speaker 5: the top. It is also a great celebration of multiculturalism
- 32:04Speaker 5: because far from being the sort of all white Anglo
- 32:07Speaker 5: Irish miners who were rising up and everything, the first
- 32:10Speaker 5: death at Areka Stockade, I think it was the first
- 32:13Speaker 5: person hanged after they were all rounded up, or whether
- 32:17Speaker 5: the were gone, the spot was actually a black African American.
- 32:21Speaker 4: One of the first. The history was written by Raphael Carboni,
- 32:26Speaker 4: so yes, it was a multi ethnic thing. I'm glad
- 32:29Speaker 4: you're catching up because about ten years ago, I think
- 32:33Speaker 4: twelve years ago, I suggested this to John Howard. We
- 32:37Speaker 4: talked about the one and it became obviously ten years.
- 32:41Speaker 1: Ago, Kell you were talking about changing the date of Australia.
- 32:44Speaker 4: It occurred to me anyway, hang on, hang on, I've
- 32:48Speaker 4: worked through this. I know what's wrong. It's a bad idea,
- 32:51Speaker 4: and it's a bad idea because in fact it's not
- 32:53Speaker 4: a big national significant event. It's not big enough. It
- 32:57Speaker 4: didn't start the country in the way the American Revolution
- 33:00Speaker 4: did and their independence day July the fourth did for them.
- 33:04Speaker 4: You can't change a birthday. You were born on the
- 33:07Speaker 4: twenty third of June. We can't pretend you weren't. You
- 33:10Speaker 4: were modern Australia began on the twenty sixth of January.
- 33:14Speaker 4: We can't pretend otherwise. And nailed it because when she said,
- 33:21Speaker 4: we have got to stop being ashamed of settlement, because
- 33:25Speaker 4: that's what everyone wants. If we changed it to would
- 33:30Speaker 4: say we're ashamed of settlement. We're not ashamed of settlement.
- 33:33Speaker 4: We've got to say people came here who had a
- 33:36Speaker 4: developed civilization which they shared in the end with the
- 33:40Speaker 4: people who were Do you know what happened when Australia
- 33:42Speaker 4: was claimed for a Britain. Every person living here, every
- 33:46Speaker 4: human being, whether they were indigenous or they were convictors,
- 33:50Speaker 4: became a British citizen under the British law. They and
- 33:55Speaker 4: they got all these gifts such are settlers. They got engineering,
- 33:58Speaker 4: they got the wheel, which they hadn't better, They got
- 34:00Speaker 4: a written language, they got trial by jewy, they got
- 34:04Speaker 4: presumption of innocent. Huge amounts of things arrived. Settlement was good.
- 34:09Speaker 4: We must stop being ashamed of settlement.
- 34:12Speaker 5: I think first thing first, just to create the historical
- 34:14Speaker 5: record before it comes in There was no Australia in
- 34:16Speaker 5: seventeen eighty eight, and there was no Australia until nineteen
- 34:19Speaker 5: oh one New Year's Day. That was when the nation
- 34:21Speaker 5: of Australia was born. What happened on what happened on
- 34:23Speaker 5: seventeen eighty eight was that Arthur Philip raised the flags
- 34:26Speaker 5: except the win Jackson except I thought it was a
- 34:28Speaker 5: birthday and there was no way you could change birthday.
- 34:31Speaker 3: Well, it was ready raised the flags. No one.
- 34:35Speaker 4: Subjects, not citization day.
- 34:37Speaker 3: It's been yeah, but not the foundation of Australia.
- 34:41Speaker 5: That was the foundation of the Colony of New South
- 34:42Speaker 5: Wales CULP, which is the rit Australia.
- 34:45Speaker 1: All the same rights, all the same privileges.
- 34:48Speaker 3: Et cetera, all the same diseases.
- 34:50Speaker 1: I genuinely think the settlers always get such a bad
- 34:55Speaker 1: end of the straw because throughout Western history they're like, oh,
- 35:00Speaker 1: these white people came to our country, and wasn't it terrible. Really,
- 35:04Speaker 1: they were visiting ancient tribes who hadn't.
- 35:07Speaker 2: Figured out how to make.
- 35:08Speaker 1: A will, yet they bought with them medicine, the idea
- 35:11Speaker 1: of government, how to run a cohesive society, lay.
- 35:14Speaker 3: Roads or probably didn't have the medicine that.
- 35:18Speaker 2: We brought, all the better for nobody.
- 35:21Speaker 5: Know we didn't have We didn't bring the many medicine
- 35:23Speaker 5: when the diseases were killing you. We didn't have the
- 35:25Speaker 5: medicine for the diseasion, and you were allowed to beach
- 35:27Speaker 5: of free country. We had not ashamed of settlement.
- 35:32Speaker 3: You just have to acknowledge the history. You just have
- 35:34Speaker 3: to get the history right.
- 35:36Speaker 2: We can acknowledge the history, but.
- 35:38Speaker 3: None of it. The history that's completely wrong.
- 35:40Speaker 9: The killer they said at the top of the topic,
- 35:45Speaker 9: we are being told to be ashamed of that which happened,
- 35:49Speaker 9: which we all know about, which was shameful, without being
- 35:53Speaker 9: allowed to then be.
- 35:55Speaker 5: It's the same if you want to say, as you
- 35:57Speaker 5: would say, we came here with the best of intentions.
- 35:59Speaker 3: There was a from King George. It said, please treat.
- 36:02Speaker 5: The native populations with the utmost friendliness and care, and
- 36:05Speaker 5: Arthur Philip did try to do that, and then there
- 36:07Speaker 5: was some violence and things escalated, but both sides. That's yeah,
- 36:10Speaker 5: that's that's what I'm saying. There was violence between both
- 36:12Speaker 5: of them, So there was initially some of the For
- 36:14Speaker 5: the first few weeks of the colony, everyone lived together
- 36:16Speaker 5: really well, and then there was I think there was
- 36:18Speaker 5: some Arthur Phillip said anyone who harms the native will
- 36:22Speaker 5: be hung or hanged, sorry.
- 36:25Speaker 3: Hung, and they were hung.
- 36:27Speaker 5: And then there and then there was some black violence
- 36:29Speaker 5: against white and so those people were inscald.
- 36:32Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right.
- 36:33Speaker 5: That's why I'm explaining it to you. But you could say,
- 36:36Speaker 5: and you can actually say, and what you should say
- 36:39Speaker 5: is that we brought all manner of disease that which
- 36:42Speaker 5: was by far the biggest killer of them. We didn't
- 36:44Speaker 5: have any medicine for it. All we had was a
- 36:46Speaker 5: natural immunity that they did not. It wiped out half
- 36:48Speaker 5: their population. But we didn't do it on purpose. It
- 36:51Speaker 5: wasn't done with malice. It wasn't a state orchestrated genocide
- 36:54Speaker 5: as has happened in other countries. There was settler violence
- 36:56Speaker 5: on the frontiers down the track. But that's how you
- 36:58Speaker 5: tell the story. You tell it proper, you don't wrap
- 37:00Speaker 5: it up in a little pink bo and say, wasn't.
- 37:02Speaker 4: It all We want to.
- 37:06Speaker 5: Keep us citizens Australia and we didn't have any medicines.
- 37:10Speaker 3: So's just we've got to.
- 37:11Speaker 2: Go to a break now.
- 37:13Speaker 1: But stay tuned, will bring you tomorrow's news tonight.
- 37:16Speaker 2: In a bit welcome back.
- 37:22Speaker 1: This is the part where we bring you tomorrow's news tonight.
- 37:26Speaker 2: Kel you've got the Australian.
- 37:28Speaker 4: I have got the Batchee Daily and the big splash
- 37:31Speaker 4: headline on the front page says b B two pm,
- 37:34Speaker 4: you are inviting terrorism. So it's the Prime Minister of Israel,
- 37:38Speaker 4: Benjamin Netanya who writing to our Prime minister. The story says,
- 37:42Speaker 4: quote the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netnia, who
- 37:45Speaker 4: has strongly criticized the Albanezi government over its retreating support
- 37:50Speaker 4: for Israel and promotion of Palestinian statehood at the United Nations.
- 37:56Speaker 4: In comments provided exclusively to The Australian, the office of
- 37:59Speaker 4: mister Niah who said, quote the disappointing change in position
- 38:03Speaker 4: of the United Nations would undoubtedly quote invite more terrorism
- 38:08Speaker 4: and more anti Semitic riots on Western campuses and city centers,
- 38:12Speaker 4: including they say Australia. I find it really bizarre. I
- 38:17Speaker 4: don't understand why Penny Wong and Anthony Albanesi are taking
- 38:22Speaker 4: the position they have for a long time. It was
- 38:24Speaker 4: a bipartisan position by all the major parties. We will
- 38:28Speaker 4: support the state of Israel, it's the ancestral homeland of
- 38:31Speaker 4: the Jewish people. It's a democratic notion in the Middle East.
- 38:34Speaker 4: They our allies. Bob Hawk certainly took this line, and
- 38:38Speaker 4: for some reason, Pennywong and Anthony Alberanesi have taken the
- 38:41Speaker 4: line of no, no, no. Our traditional support for Israel
- 38:44Speaker 4: is gone, and we're going to support the Palestinians. They
- 38:48Speaker 4: don't seem to understand they're even out of step with
- 38:50Speaker 4: the Palestinians. They keep talking about a two state solution.
- 38:54Speaker 4: The official Palestinian line is a one state solution that
- 38:58Speaker 4: runs from the Mediterranean seat of the jaw Ord River,
- 39:00Speaker 4: with no Israel in between. So I simply I cannot
- 39:05Speaker 4: grasp what they think they're achieving, except perhaps propping up
- 39:09Speaker 4: the votes of Muslim voters in some Australian electrics. Surely, Joe,
- 39:13Speaker 4: they wouldn't be as calible.
- 39:16Speaker 3: The true state solution thing hasn't changed.
- 39:18Speaker 5: That's exactly the same as it was under Bob Hawk,
- 39:20Speaker 5: as it is under Anti Albanesi. I think the difference
- 39:23Speaker 5: has been that they have been more forthright in advancing
- 39:28Speaker 5: the case for the establishment and recognition of Palestine as
- 39:32Speaker 5: a sovereign state. So back in the old days, think
- 39:34Speaker 5: the whole thing was just in the too hard baskets. Oh, yes,
- 39:37Speaker 5: we believe in a true state solution, okay, everybody.
- 39:39Speaker 4: Yeah, there is no Palestine at the moment, so there's
- 39:42Speaker 4: no workable two state solution. What they're trying to do
- 39:45Speaker 4: is to go ahead of the facts and pretend there
- 39:48Speaker 4: is such a thing as a Palestine.
- 39:49Speaker 5: Well, they're trying to fast track that and that's what
- 39:51Speaker 5: this resolution is about, and that's what the previous resolution
- 39:53Speaker 5: they support.
- 39:54Speaker 3: It was about.
- 39:54Speaker 5: So they have become more assertive in pursuing the two
- 39:57Speaker 5: state solution.
- 39:59Speaker 3: The objective, not more assertive.
- 40:01Speaker 4: They've actually changed their support from the two state solution
- 40:04Speaker 4: to pushing something which doesn't exist at the moment and
- 40:08Speaker 4: is controlled by terrorists wherever it. Let's stay with the
- 40:13Speaker 4: Australian with the National broad treat because it's such a
- 40:15Speaker 4: good newspaper. Also on the front page on the top
- 40:17Speaker 4: right hand side, there's a story about the salmon Battle,
- 40:21Speaker 4: the battle between different aspects of the Labor Party, the
- 40:24Speaker 4: bits that Joe agrees with and the bits he doesn't
- 40:26Speaker 4: agree with. The salmon fishing and salmon fishing industry on
- 40:31Speaker 4: the West coast of Tasmania is enormous. This story, says
- 40:34Speaker 4: Anthony Albanezi has floated a radical solution to the Tasmanian
- 40:38Speaker 4: salmon standoff, granting fish farms in Macquarie Harbor as national
- 40:43Speaker 4: interest exemptions from federal environmental laws. The federal environmental laws
- 40:48Speaker 4: that could it a few are those being proposed by
- 40:50Speaker 4: Taniel Pleppersek, which would say, there is a fish called
- 40:53Speaker 4: the mcgean skate, if I'm pronouncing that correctly, and the
- 40:57Speaker 4: mcgean skate might actually become extinct because so much of
- 41:01Speaker 4: the oxygen is being taken out of the water by
- 41:03Speaker 4: these huge fish farms. And if five thousand people lose
- 41:05Speaker 4: their jobs, well, as long as the little skate survives,
- 41:08Speaker 4: that's perfectly all right, according to Tanya Blubisik, and lose.
- 41:12Speaker 1: Out on millions hundreds of millions of dollars that salmon
- 41:16Speaker 1: brings into the Tasmanian ecmpomy. On top of that, what
- 41:19Speaker 1: I can't get about this, Joe, is this has already
- 41:22Speaker 1: been hanging over the salmon industry in Tasmanian's heads.
- 41:25Speaker 2: For twelve months. Yeah, what theyck is happening.
- 41:29Speaker 1: And now the Albanezi government has turned around and said, oh,
- 41:33Speaker 1: we're just going to wait till after.
- 41:34Speaker 2: The election to make a call.
- 41:37Speaker 1: So you've already lost those votes, because then you've got
- 41:40Speaker 1: Dutton who's come out and said, you guys are safe
- 41:42Speaker 1: with us.
- 41:43Speaker 2: Even if they.
- 41:44Speaker 1: Do pass something that will trash the industry in Tasmania,
- 41:47Speaker 1: we will.
- 41:48Speaker 2: Get rid of it, we will repeel it.
- 41:51Speaker 1: So if you're in the salmon industry in Tasmania, you're
- 41:55Speaker 1: already voting liberal.
- 41:57Speaker 2: Why is he now just.
- 41:58Speaker 1: Further confusing it, being like, oh, new idea two seconds
- 42:03Speaker 1: to midnight. And again everybody knows because they've already.
- 42:06Speaker 2: Said so they're actually not going.
- 42:09Speaker 1: To make a call before Tasmanians go to the polic.
- 42:11Speaker 5: Well, I suppose they're trying to what they's so you're
- 42:15Speaker 5: absolutely right, this is a ridiculous thing. And this the
- 42:18Speaker 5: Maugian skate is this weird sort of ray fish. It's
- 42:22Speaker 5: very ugly, only lives, it's very ugly. Apparently it's related
- 42:25Speaker 5: to the dinosaurs, which I thought the birds were. It
- 42:27Speaker 5: only lives in Macquarie Harbor, which is where all the
- 42:30Speaker 5: salmon farms are, and so of course all the inner
- 42:33Speaker 5: city environmentalists on the mainland, well we have to save
- 42:37Speaker 5: this thing.
- 42:37Speaker 3: It's on the verge of extinction.
- 42:39Speaker 5: There are three marginal seats, plus another the seat of Franklin,
- 42:43Speaker 5: which I think is the seat of the actual Agriculture
- 42:45Speaker 5: and Fisheries Minister. And a nice little twist and she
- 42:47Speaker 5: is all over that joint.
- 42:49Speaker 3: She has just on.
- 42:49Speaker 5: She's on the red eye every night back and from
- 42:51Speaker 5: from Tasmania, and half the cabinet's been down there as well.
- 42:55Speaker 5: They will definitely intervene to stop this ban or suspension
- 43:00Speaker 5: or pause on salmon farming going ahead. I guarantee they
- 43:02Speaker 5: will absolutely do that. The question is how they do it.
- 43:04Speaker 5: So the Environment Minister Taniel Peters has the power in
- 43:08Speaker 5: her hands to say right boink not, you can't do
- 43:12Speaker 5: the salmon farming and you.
- 43:13Speaker 3: Can't do it for no. He wants to stop her
- 43:16Speaker 3: from doing that. He wants to stop her from pausing.
- 43:19Speaker 3: That is exactly what he's doing.
- 43:21Speaker 4: That's why, that's why he's the Prime minister. If he's
- 43:23Speaker 4: got any leadership, he pulls.
- 43:25Speaker 3: His That's that's right, and that's what he's doing. But
- 43:28Speaker 3: that is what he's doing.
- 43:29Speaker 4: As her into his offices. I'm the Prime and ill
- 43:32Speaker 4: you to.
- 43:32Speaker 5: Be surprised in the Western system of government. That's not
- 43:35Speaker 5: as easy as it looks. That's slightly more Europe and
- 43:41Speaker 5: South America. No, he has developed a mechanism by which
- 43:45Speaker 5: he can protect this harbor, this industry from anything tany
- 43:50Speaker 5: p does.
- 43:51Speaker 3: Do it, all right, that's what he's done.
- 43:53Speaker 4: Okay, Joe tomorrows for him. Do tomorrow's newspapers tell us
- 43:58Speaker 4: it's likely to work for well.
- 43:59Speaker 3: No, that's a this is what he's saying. He's saying.
- 44:01Speaker 5: No matter if if Tanniel plup sect does decide to
- 44:03Speaker 5: do this, I can carve.
- 44:05Speaker 4: Out interesting Tomorrow's newspaper.
- 44:08Speaker 5: Tomorrow's newspapers say nothing about this whatsoever. Tomorrow's newspaper in fact,
- 44:13Speaker 5: and this is one of the greatest things I just
- 44:15Speaker 5: love about the news industry, and especially my beloved Daily Telegraphs.
- 44:19Speaker 3: So let's go to look at that. First of all.
- 44:21Speaker 5: No, it's not the fact that Sam Arntige is single again,
- 44:24Speaker 5: but that's lovely to know as well. But it is
- 44:26Speaker 5: the fact that James Campbell has an exclusive yarn PM's
- 44:29Speaker 5: hometown will decide the election new poll Backyard Blitz. Five
- 44:34Speaker 5: labor seats in New South Wales are poised to swinging
- 44:36Speaker 5: to the Coalition and Peter Utton and next to his
- 44:38Speaker 5: federal election. Exclusive new polling shows setting up a fierce
- 44:41Speaker 5: battle in Anthony Albanese's own backyard. Love it great yarn
- 44:46Speaker 5: you know Crack and reporter Crack and research Costamaris and
- 44:49Speaker 5: Redbridge again who the PM says. I don't think they
- 44:52Speaker 5: like me very much because they all their polling seems
- 44:54Speaker 5: to be a bit negative.
- 44:55Speaker 2: On porld Albo not just accurate.
- 44:57Speaker 5: Then I was interested to see in the Herald Sun
- 45:00Speaker 5: the other great News Corp masthead the exact same yeah,
- 45:04Speaker 5: by the exact same reporter James Campbell, but this time.
- 45:06Speaker 3: It's battlevound battleground Victoria.
- 45:09Speaker 5: Exclusive shock poll reveals Coalition on course to pick up
- 45:12Speaker 5: at least one labor seat in our state, with four
- 45:14Speaker 5: more in balance in mid Angrave Costs a living crisis
- 45:17Speaker 5: James Campbell and George Georgie title as well. Shot view
- 45:20Speaker 5: polling shows the Coalition is likely to pick up one
- 45:22Speaker 5: seat in Victoria, with another four labor held electorates now
- 45:25Speaker 5: in the balance as our state emerges as the key
- 45:29Speaker 5: battleground in next year is Freder election, which this news
- 45:33Speaker 5: reportage at its fighters talk about the local angle, exact
- 45:37Speaker 5: same data, the exact same story, and New South Wales
- 45:41Speaker 5: and Victoria.
- 45:42Speaker 3: Have both got no. No, it's our state. It's our state.
- 45:44Speaker 3: That's better. I can fortunately settle this. The Daily Telegraph
- 45:47Speaker 3: is always right. Of course, that.
- 45:49Speaker 2: Was too predictable.
- 45:50Speaker 1: Just quickly before we go to another break, the NT
- 45:53Speaker 1: News has a cracker Tracy, you bitch, symbol of defiance.
- 45:59Speaker 1: It became one of the defining images of the destruction
- 46:02Speaker 1: wrought by Cyclone Tracy. Now fifty years on, a Darwin
- 46:05Speaker 1: Locals crumpled holden tarana has been recreated for the reopening
- 46:11Speaker 1: of the Northern Territories Museum and Art Gallery Cyclone Tracy Exhibition.
- 46:20Speaker 1: And if you want to know more about that, we
- 46:22Speaker 1: did a doco just last week on it, which you
- 46:24Speaker 1: can still watch online.
- 46:26Speaker 5: We've got to go to a break, just very quickly,
- 46:28Speaker 5: Can we just pull up that image for just one second,
- 46:31Speaker 5: because I want to say something very telling. If you
- 46:33Speaker 5: look at the back of the tarana, they've spelt Tracy wrong,
- 46:38Speaker 5: which I think is the most boguan Australian thing ever.
- 46:41Speaker 5: Go Territory do it spelt wrong as well?
- 46:49Speaker 3: It's just amazing. I love it so much.
- 46:51Speaker 2: We've got to go to a break. We'll see you
- 46:54Speaker 2: in a few minutes. Don't go away, welcome back. Well.
- 46:59Speaker 1: While his team are talking about preemptive pardons for themselves
- 47:03Speaker 1: and the corrupt government that has been where is Biden,
- 47:06Speaker 1: you might ask, Well, he's pulling his signature move during
- 47:10Speaker 1: a climate meeting in Africa US.
- 47:14Speaker 14: In support of the development of the Orbito Corrido. Tanzania
- 47:18Speaker 14: have used the Orbito Corrido as an integral quetro broad
- 47:22Speaker 14: strategy connectivity in Africa.
- 47:27Speaker 3: Also the factor that.
- 47:31Speaker 2: He's turned out, I mean, are you going to watch?
- 47:35Speaker 2: Are you going to miss the sleep in the last.
- 47:39Speaker 5: Four years, I been to one of those conferences, but
- 47:42Speaker 5: I can promise you catching a few z's is the
- 47:44Speaker 5: smartest possible course of action that shows a man in
- 47:47Speaker 5: the prime of his faculties.
- 47:49Speaker 4: Except that he's caught on camera, which is not wonderful.
- 47:52Speaker 4: I've got to say last Christmas, my little grandson's going
- 47:55Speaker 4: to be a pair of socks. One sock said, Grandpa
- 47:58Speaker 4: is not asleep. The other sock said, he is just
- 48:00Speaker 4: resting his eyes. Basically, that's what dear old Joe actually needs.
- 48:07Speaker 4: I am I'm just resting my eyes on his shirt.
- 48:10Speaker 5: I'm not asleep. I'm just preemptively pardoning everyone I know.
- 48:15Speaker 2: Before we leave you. Tonight, the UK has.
- 48:17Speaker 1: Unveiled their new top model and it is groundbreaking.

- 48:46Speaker 1: Beautiful Woman, Kara Delavine, Kate Moss, who has graced the
- 48:52Speaker 1: front pages of every glossy magazine for decades. But of course,
- 48:56Speaker 1: would it really be a groundbreaking historic appointment if we
- 49:02Speaker 1: didn't include a biological man.
- 49:04Speaker 3: So I didn't even know cifil model.
- 49:07Speaker 5: If I had have known it was opened to biological men,
- 49:09Speaker 5: I would have entered myself. Wouldn't have been fair on
- 49:12Speaker 5: the other competitors taken.
- 49:15Speaker 2: It home, But well that's it from us. Coming up
- 49:18Speaker 2: now is the Rita panahe shot
