Speaker 1: Jesus the good reform it tonight. Well they've done it.
0:16
Speaker 1: The Liberals finally have dumped the global warming target that's
0:20
Speaker 1: been devastating our economy.
0:22
Speaker 2: We're not pursuing.
0:23
Speaker 1: Net zero zero was gone, but the sales job must
0:27
Speaker 1: now begin. And already journalists were today attacking the opposition
0:31
Speaker 1: leaders it should burned a Koran or something you won't believe,
0:36
Speaker 1: but I'll show you lots on that tonight. Plus, Victoria's
0:39
Speaker 1: labor government signs a treaty with the one percent of
0:41
Speaker 1: Victorians who call themselves aborigines. I mean, who on earth
0:46
Speaker 1: voted for this? Apata? How manny actually voted for the
0:48
Speaker 1: averages A signed that treaty. But first, this was not
0:54
Speaker 1: the week for the ABC to do today exactly what
0:58
Speaker 1: it's been denying, selectively editing footage which makes Donald Trump
1:03
Speaker 1: seem guilty of a crime now, in this case, sex
1:07
Speaker 1: with an underaged girl. This is unbelievable. Today, the media
1:11
Speaker 1: left jumped all over emails released in the United States
1:14
Speaker 1: by the Democrats, saying they claim, aha, this suggests the
1:19
Speaker 1: he US president knew about the conduct of pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
1:24
Speaker 1: Knew that Epstein was pimping out underage girls through people
1:28
Speaker 1: like Prince Andrew and had himself. Trump himself spent hours
1:34
Speaker 1: with a girl at Epstein's house. Now, of course this
1:37
Speaker 1: was all catnip for people who you know. I always
1:41
Speaker 1: said there was something told you about Trump's relationship with
1:43
Speaker 1: Epstein was later found dead in his jail cell before
1:46
Speaker 1: he could blab. And now here are these emails which
1:49
Speaker 1: damning right the ABC today This ABC America's editor John lyons, well,
1:57
Speaker 1: he sure thought so, and note by the way her
2:02
Speaker 1: Lions this morning failed to mention which underaged girl Trump
2:06
Speaker 1: had allegedly spent hours with. According to the most stamming
2:11
Speaker 1: of Epstein's emails.
2:13
Speaker 3: He mentions the name of a particular victim and says
2:16
Speaker 3: that she spent hours at my house with him with
2:21
Speaker 3: Donald Trump. Now that's quite dramatic. It looks like all
2:25
Speaker 3: the Epstein files will be released. And I think there
2:28
Speaker 3: are some very nervous powerful people in the United States.
2:34
Speaker 1: Now, Lions on the ABC, there isn't the only person
2:39
Speaker 1: who curiously failed to mention which girl Trump allegedly was with.
2:43
Speaker 1: Her name was also redacted from the email released by
2:46
Speaker 1: the US Democrats in which Epstein tells girlfriend and procurer
2:53
Speaker 1: Elaine Maxwell, I want you to realize that the dog
2:56
Speaker 1: that hasn't barked is Trump. The victim name redacted spent
3:02
Speaker 1: hours at my house with him. He has never once
3:04
Speaker 1: been mentioned. Now it's actually been widely reported that the
3:09
Speaker 1: redacted name was in fact Virginia Geoffrey, who was trafficked
3:14
Speaker 1: out to Andrew the form of Prince, although he denies it.
3:17
Speaker 1: Gioffrey tragedially killed herself this year and cannot be hurt anymore.
3:23
Speaker 1: So why was her name suppressed by the Democrats and
3:27
Speaker 1: by the ABC. Well, imagine you're a Trump hater. I
3:36
Speaker 1: suspect you might want these emails that as much damage
3:39
Speaker 1: as possible to him. So you wouldn't want people to
3:42
Speaker 1: know that the girl was indeed Giuffrey, because in her
3:45
Speaker 1: autobiography Nobody's Girl, she wrote at length about Trump, who
3:51
Speaker 1: gave her a job at his mare Lago club, and
3:54
Speaker 1: said Trump couldn't have been nicer to her, and that
4:00
Speaker 1: this girl was indeed Geoffrey, must have been known to
4:04
Speaker 1: Lyons because Trumps might have. Spokesman Caroline Livett made that
4:09
Speaker 1: point strongly yesterday in defending Trump.
4:13
Speaker 4: These emails prove absolutely nothing other than the fact that
4:17
Speaker 4: President Trump did nothing wrong. And what President Trump has
4:20
Speaker 4: always said is that he was from Palm Beach, and
4:23
Speaker 4: so is Jeffrey Epstein. Jeffrey Epstein was a member at
4:26
Speaker 4: mar A Lago until President Trump kicked him out because
4:30
Speaker 4: Jeffrey Epstein was a pedophile and he was a creep.
4:33
Speaker 4: And this email you refer to with the name of
4:35
Speaker 4: a victim that was unredacted now and has since been
4:39
Speaker 4: reported on in this room, So I will go ahead
4:41
Speaker 4: and say it Virginia Guphrey. And it was CBS's own
4:44
Speaker 4: reporting WIJA that recently wrote that missus Guphrey maintained, and
4:49
Speaker 4: God rest her soul, that she maintained that there was
4:51
Speaker 4: nothing inappropriate. She ever witnessed that President Trump was always
4:55
Speaker 4: extremely professional and friendly to her. And so I think
4:58
Speaker 4: it's a question worth asking the Democrat Party, and you
5:01
Speaker 4: should all go ask them after this briefing of why
5:03
Speaker 4: they chose to redact that name.
5:06
Speaker 1: Now, Lyons and the ABC quoted from exactly that response,
5:11
Speaker 1: have just played you from the White House. But but
5:15
Speaker 1: here's the ABC shame. They actually cut out the last bit.
5:19
Speaker 1: They cut it short. They emitted what seems exactly the
5:23
Speaker 1: strongest part of Trump's defense were never named Geoffrey and
5:27
Speaker 1: how the Democrats had suppressed their name and what should
5:30
Speaker 1: actually said about Trump the ABC instead? End of those
5:35
Speaker 1: comments I played at this.
5:37
Speaker 4: Point, Jeffrey Epstein was a member at Mari a Lago
5:40
Speaker 4: until President Trump kicked him out because Jeffrey Epstein was
5:44
Speaker 4: a pedophile and he was a creep.
5:48
Speaker 1: No mention of Geffrey. And let's not forget that Lyons
5:53
Speaker 1: does have form as a Trump critic, to say the least.
5:58
Speaker 1: Trump worked him out earlier this year when Lines trying
6:00
Speaker 1: to line him up as corrupt the.
6:03
Speaker 5: Appropriate president that a president in offers could be engaged
6:07
Speaker 5: in so much business activity, Well, I'm really not.
6:10
Speaker 1: My kids are running a president. Where are you from?
6:12
Speaker 3: I'm from the Australian broadcasting of.
6:14
Speaker 1: Rage and faul Corn and providing Australians.
6:16
Speaker 6: You're hurding Australia right in my opinion, you are hurting
6:20
Speaker 6: Australia very much right now.
6:22
Speaker 1: That's true that the ABC in other reports is referred
6:25
Speaker 1: to Joffree and quoted the relevant parts of that White
6:28
Speaker 1: House response. But Lines report today on ABC Radio's Marquee
6:32
Speaker 1: Current Affairs show that is a disgrace and to answer
6:36
Speaker 1: the ABC's embarrassment. It's shoddy reporting of his Epstein emails
6:41
Speaker 1: comes in the very week that ABC managing director Hugh
6:44
Speaker 1: Marx is defending the ABC from claims that it also
6:49
Speaker 1: selectively quoted a Trump's speech in the Four Corners takedown
6:52
Speaker 1: of the President, a report by Sarah Ferguson today exactly
6:58
Speaker 1: the same pattern quote that what acoincidence cut it in
7:04
Speaker 1: a way that most hurts Trump? Will the ABC apologize?
7:09
Speaker 1: Will pigs fly? But just one PostScript? I said the
7:15
Speaker 1: Democrats released three emaus to spear Trump. I just showed
7:17
Speaker 1: you these supposedly damning one, although I should add that, look,
7:21
Speaker 1: it might actually be correct about Trump spending time with
7:24
Speaker 1: a girl. I don't know. My problem here is really
7:28
Speaker 1: with the one sided reporting the other two emails, though
7:31
Speaker 1: they're even thinner. In one, Jeffrey Epstein writes to Michael
7:36
Speaker 1: Wolfe has written books trashing Trump, that of course he
7:42
Speaker 1: knew Trump knew about the girls as he asked Delaine
7:45
Speaker 1: to stop. Even if this line pedophile Epstein was telling,
7:49
Speaker 1: the truth is saying that Trump asks Elain Maxwell to
7:53
Speaker 1: stop stop, presumably pimping out Epstein's girls and Maxwell herself
7:57
Speaker 1: has sold investigators she witnessed nothing in appropriate by Trump.
8:02
Speaker 1: But it was Wolfe's email to Epstein also release that
8:07
Speaker 1: says it all about the way the media left will
8:10
Speaker 1: do anything, collude with any creep, even with a pedophile,
8:14
Speaker 1: to bring down Trump. This is so sick. Wolf writes
8:20
Speaker 1: to Epstein in twenty sixteen. He remember he has written
8:24
Speaker 1: all these books trashing Trump. That's his agenda. That's Michael
8:27
Speaker 1: Wolf's agenda. He wrote to Epstein in twenty sixteen, after
8:32
Speaker 1: Epstein had been jailed for procuring an underage girl for prostitution,
8:38
Speaker 1: suggesting a way that Epstein could win sympathy by trashing Trump,
8:43
Speaker 1: and I assume maybe by talking to Wolf. Trump writes
8:46
Speaker 1: to Epstein, There's an opportunity to come forward this week
8:49
Speaker 1: and talk about Trump in such a way that could
8:51
Speaker 1: garner you great sympathy and help finish him interested. Wow,
9:00
Speaker 1: going out of your way to help a pedophile polish
9:02
Speaker 1: his image. That's an insight into the media left for you,
9:05
Speaker 1: that dirty river that the ABC swims in. It seems
9:10
Speaker 1: that nothing from crawling to a pedophile to doctoring or
9:14
Speaker 1: suppressing or misleadingly editing quotes is too much as long
9:21
Speaker 1: as Donald Trump gets it. But back to the liberals
9:28
Speaker 1: big announcement today, the one I predicted yesterday, The Liberal.
9:32
Speaker 2: Party will remove a net zero target from our policy.
9:36
Speaker 1: Now there are three points I think to make about
9:39
Speaker 1: this decision to scrap the target of cutting our emissions
9:42
Speaker 1: to zero by twenty fifty, supposedly save us from global warming.
9:47
Speaker 1: One is well promising to scrap it zero fantastic, right,
9:52
Speaker 1: very damaging target net zero b twenty fifty. Second the
9:57
Speaker 1: Liberals promising, though, to still cut emissions and deeper each year.
10:02
Speaker 1: Less good. It's a compromise that still means more pain
10:07
Speaker 1: for no gain. And how is it going to be done?
10:11
Speaker 1: She didn't say really? And three the ludicrous attacks on
10:16
Speaker 1: Susan Lee today by global warming zealots in the press
10:19
Speaker 1: pack shows how hard it will be to sell this
10:22
Speaker 1: to the public. Given this media malice. How you get
10:25
Speaker 1: through your message through it? It's like Lee had blasphemed
10:31
Speaker 1: spat on oolaru. Some questions were simply absurd from journals
10:38
Speaker 1: so indoctrinated in the global warming cult as to think
10:41
Speaker 1: that little Australia can change the climate. Although I've got
10:45
Speaker 1: to give a credit, Lee was okay in standing up
10:48
Speaker 1: to this utter nonsense.
10:50
Speaker 7: So in the coming years, when Australians are counting the
10:53
Speaker 7: cost of fires and floods and other natural disasters, is
10:57
Speaker 7: your response going to be to them, don't worry, we
11:00
Speaker 7: just did our share. Your also a grandmother, are you
11:04
Speaker 7: concerned about the type of planet that your grandchildren are
11:06
Speaker 7: going to inherit? And as this something that you talk
11:09
Speaker 7: about with your family, Yes.
11:10
Speaker 2: I am, and I think of my six grandchildren aged
11:14
Speaker 2: under six every day and I know that it is
11:18
Speaker 2: vital that they have a better world to inherit. But
11:21
Speaker 2: I look at the world that they're set to inherit
11:23
Speaker 2: if the policies of this Labor government continue, and if
11:25
Speaker 2: we do want to talk about climate change, the climate
11:28
Speaker 2: change policies of Labor are failing. They are completely failing.
11:32
Speaker 2: The other thing that I want to be able to
11:34
Speaker 2: say to my grandchildren is that you should inherit a
11:37
Speaker 2: better standard of living than my generation and your mum
11:41
Speaker 2: and dad's generation. Right now, they are set to inherit
11:44
Speaker 2: the worst standard of living since the Second World War.
11:49
Speaker 1: Now, the good in today's announcements, not just the liberals,
11:52
Speaker 1: will scrap the Nitzero targets for twenty fifty. It will
11:56
Speaker 1: scrap all targets like the twenty thirty one as well.
11:58
Speaker 1: It will cut government schemes that force companies to slash
12:01
Speaker 1: emissions at huge cost, schemes to make us buy expensive
12:06
Speaker 1: electric cars. It'll slash the kind of things that Labor
12:09
Speaker 1: has done that's punishing Australians. And Lee made the point
12:13
Speaker 1: that cutting missions is fine. If we get to net
12:15
Speaker 1: zero at some stage in a sane way, that's great,
12:19
Speaker 1: but cut power prices first.
12:23
Speaker 2: The affordable energy must come first. Under Labor, there has
12:28
Speaker 2: been this trifecta of failures, prices up, reliability down, and
12:35
Speaker 2: emissions flatlining.
12:38
Speaker 1: It is the contradiction in the liberal policy, which I
12:41
Speaker 1: suspect was done so that the Liberals wouldn't frighten off
12:45
Speaker 1: have so many of these global warm believers out there,
12:48
Speaker 1: and also to keep sweet liberals who did want to
12:50
Speaker 1: somehow stick to net zero, like Anne Russ Than it
12:54
Speaker 1: looked stony face to this press conference, with Lee shooting
12:58
Speaker 1: a friend and ally seemingly nervous looks. The compromise is
13:03
Speaker 1: the Liberals will still stick with the Paris Agreement that
13:05
Speaker 1: commits the world to net zero, although not by twenty
13:08
Speaker 1: fifty but by twenty one hundred.
13:12
Speaker 2: Australians deserve affordable energy and responsible emissions reduction, and the
13:20
Speaker 2: Liberal Party believes we can do both.
13:23
Speaker 1: Actually, those two targets are in contradiction to each other. Right,
13:27
Speaker 1: how's that going to be resolved? With Lee some promising
13:30
Speaker 1: to still somehow cut emissions by more every year, which
13:34
Speaker 1: even this Albanesi government has not managed. And by the way,
13:39
Speaker 1: other countries likewise talk oh net zero, big game, but
13:42
Speaker 1: they also don't back it up.
13:44
Speaker 2: Look at what countries are doing now under the Paris
13:46
Speaker 2: Agreement with their NDCs. They're submitting NDCs that they probably
13:50
Speaker 2: know they can never keep. What we are doing is
13:52
Speaker 2: being honest with the Australian people. You have a government
13:55
Speaker 2: that has promised you two things that it has not delivered,
13:58
Speaker 2: affordable energy and reduceing emissions, and it hasn't done either.
14:04
Speaker 1: But you know, you saw the journalists and all that.
14:07
Speaker 1: You know. Meanwhile, the Greens they are also into playground insults.
14:13
Speaker 7: They look like a bunch of nutters.
14:17
Speaker 1: But the Nationals, who forced the Liberals into backtracking by
14:21
Speaker 1: themselves first scrapping net zero, seemed right on board. Today.
14:25
Speaker 1: They seemed ready to make common cause with the Liberals again,
14:27
Speaker 1: which I guess is more credit to Lee.
14:30
Speaker 8: From what I've seen on face value, I think the
14:33
Speaker 8: Liberal Party has shown great maturity and leadership to the
14:38
Speaker 8: extent of where the National Party put forward a cheaper,
14:41
Speaker 8: better fare plan that doesn't walk away from actually addressing
14:46
Speaker 8: climate change.
14:48
Speaker 1: Joining is our regular Thursday column commentator National ZMP Barnaby Joyce,
14:54
Speaker 1: the former Deputy Prime Minister. Barnaby be great to see you.
14:57
Speaker 1: Your response to the liberals new policy and how much
15:00
Speaker 1: is it due to you?
15:03
Speaker 6: Well, I'd first like to congratulate the Susan and Liberal
15:07
Speaker 6: Party for making a move towards reinvigorating our capacity to
15:11
Speaker 6: reindustrialize Australia and get power prices start putting so much
15:16
Speaker 6: upput pressure on power prices. I think she'll be able
15:19
Speaker 6: to judge her work against the Labor Party and what
15:21
Speaker 6: power prices have been happening under them. As far as
15:24
Speaker 6: my part, yes, played a part, of course, but played
15:27
Speaker 6: a part with a lot of other people, with either
15:30
Speaker 6: Matt Canavan or Andrew Hasty or Tony Passon or Michael
15:34
Speaker 6: McCormick or Loui O'Brien or a number of others who
15:36
Speaker 6: are part of the Repeal net zero bill, amongst other things.
15:40
Speaker 6: And now I expect on Monday everybody can turn up
15:43
Speaker 6: and speak on the repeal net zero bill in the coalition.
15:46
Speaker 1: I look forward to that. Well, that's another test for
15:50
Speaker 1: them all. Can the Liberals do you think sell this
15:55
Speaker 1: steal to vote? As I showed you some of the
15:57
Speaker 1: absurd questions from journeys, how can you live with the
15:59
Speaker 1: flights and fires and all that? And can they sell
16:02
Speaker 1: it specifically under Susan Lee?
16:05
Speaker 6: Of course they can. You know, if your heart's in it,
16:08
Speaker 6: your logic says we are never going to change the climate.
16:12
Speaker 6: So for all those reporters, should you turn around say
16:15
Speaker 6: do you do you honestly believe that Australia's actions will
16:19
Speaker 6: change the climate, like I know, less cyclones, less routes,
16:21
Speaker 6: more for USTs, whatever you want. Is that going to happen?
16:24
Speaker 1: Apparently they and apparently they do.
16:26
Speaker 6: Barnaby, Well, why don't we have a meteorite tax and
16:30
Speaker 6: then we can stop metea wites. You know, it's it's
16:32
Speaker 6: just as you said, as I've said, it's a cult.
16:35
Speaker 6: And when you're talking to cult members, you'll never get logic,
16:38
Speaker 6: You'll just get expressions from the guru and the gurus
16:41
Speaker 6: the billionaires who are just creaming it with their capacity
16:44
Speaker 6: investment schemes, they're the ones who are really upset because
16:48
Speaker 6: they see there's a possibility that the absolute meal ticket
16:52
Speaker 6: of a capacity investment scheme, role Gold governor nunity, paid
16:55
Speaker 6: for by the tax players, paid for by the benchers
16:58
Speaker 6: in their power prices, might be dumped on. That might
17:01
Speaker 6: be the next thing that gets dumped on. And you
17:03
Speaker 6: know what will they do. They'll have to get a
17:05
Speaker 6: smaller corporate jet.
17:09
Speaker 1: I was worrying Barnaby both some of the language today
17:13
Speaker 1: of the Nationals leader David Little, proud language like this.
17:17
Speaker 8: When not challenging the science of climate change, we're challenging
17:20
Speaker 8: the economics and how we can do it better, how
17:23
Speaker 8: we can live up to the science in a better
17:25
Speaker 8: economical way for Australians. Because it doesn't matter whether you
17:28
Speaker 8: live on the Gold Coast, whether you live in Sydney
17:31
Speaker 8: or in Kannamala, your energy bills the same. You're copying
17:35
Speaker 8: it in the neck. The costs continue to go up,
17:38
Speaker 8: and so why wouldn't we say that we'll live up
17:40
Speaker 8: to international commitments. That debates move past the twenty fifteen
17:43
Speaker 8: of whether climate change or real is not? It is real.
17:46
Speaker 8: The science is settled in.
17:48
Speaker 1: Fact, as any scientists would tell you, any good scientists, barnaby,
17:52
Speaker 1: no science is settled. And there is huge scientific debate
17:56
Speaker 1: about how much we truly know about climate change and
17:59
Speaker 1: the drivers of it and the effects of it. Many predictions,
18:02
Speaker 1: as you know, really proved false. In the dams have
18:04
Speaker 1: not dried, we haven't been hit by more cyclones, and
18:07
Speaker 1: Pacific islands haven't been drowning in droves, or does little
18:11
Speaker 1: proud do you think? Have no option politically but to
18:14
Speaker 1: say this sort of stuff, well, it's.
18:18
Speaker 6: A Copernicuan dilemma, isn't it. You know? You know Copernicus
18:22
Speaker 6: had to come back and say, I know, I think
18:24
Speaker 6: you guys have got it right.
18:25
Speaker 1: The world is the.
18:27
Speaker 6: Center of the universe and everything rotates around it, even though.
18:31
Speaker 1: They know it's wrong.
18:33
Speaker 6: Science is a dynamic thing that moves on and it
18:36
Speaker 6: changes in total or changes in.
18:40
Speaker 1: My newshi.
18:41
Speaker 6: But what you see in the cult is of course
18:42
Speaker 6: people stating the question like they know the science, like
18:45
Speaker 6: they're atmospheric scientists, that they're all across it. They can
18:48
Speaker 6: give you the regression analysis on it, and of course
18:50
Speaker 6: they don't. Like most cult followers, they just believers. They're
18:55
Speaker 6: believers and you're a denier. And that's about as deep
18:58
Speaker 6: as the scientific debate for any of them goes. What
19:02
Speaker 6: I can say is that there's you know, what we
19:04
Speaker 6: will be doing out here is saying are the swingle
19:07
Speaker 6: factory stopping? Are the transmission line's going to stop? Are
19:10
Speaker 6: the solar panels covering the field's going to stop? Are
19:13
Speaker 6: the wind house that would go all over that horizon?
19:15
Speaker 6: Are they going to stop? Is that stopping or because
19:18
Speaker 6: we've still got to like a bed each ways, they're
19:21
Speaker 6: still kind of going ahead. And if they're still kind
19:23
Speaker 6: of going ahead, we're still kind of unhappy.
19:28
Speaker 1: Kind of good questions too, Barnaby Joyce, thank you so much,
19:31
Speaker 1: indeed for your time. After the break, Victorians actually voted
19:35
Speaker 1: no to the Voice, along with the rest of Australia,
19:38
Speaker 1: no to the racial division of this country. But the
19:42
Speaker 1: Victorian Premiere is still today signed to treaty with people
19:45
Speaker 1: identifying as Aboriginal. So how much will this cost? Two
19:54
Speaker 1: years after Australians voted no to Labour's Voice, two years
19:59
Speaker 1: after even Victorians foted know to the Albanezi Govern's plan
20:02
Speaker 1: to Divartis by race a shameful moment, Victoria's premier still
20:09
Speaker 1: signed a treaty that cemented racial division, a treaty between
20:13
Speaker 1: the ninety nine percent of Victorians who aren't Aboriginal with
20:16
Speaker 1: the one percent who say they are, or rather with
20:19
Speaker 1: Aboriginal representatives from the First People's Assembly, an assembly elected
20:23
Speaker 1: by fewer than ten percent of Aborigines entitled to vote.
20:28
Speaker 1: What a mutilation of democracy and what will it lead to? Will?
20:34
Speaker 1: Already this month we've seen one Aboriginal tribe lay claim
20:37
Speaker 1: to all public land and rivers in Melbourne and countryside,
20:40
Speaker 1: around eleven claimants of whom I have already shown you for,
20:45
Speaker 1: including a muslim Man, which for me poses the question
20:49
Speaker 1: why do people with mixed ancestry and now mixed cultures
20:54
Speaker 1: identifying as Aboriginal have more say than the five and
20:59
Speaker 1: a half million fellow citizens not of their tribe. But
21:04
Speaker 1: there's now another question, and to answer it requires an
21:08
Speaker 1: economist joining me is Leif and nonsenan co founder of
21:11
Speaker 1: Macro Business and a former Federal Treasury official. Lee, thank
21:16
Speaker 1: you so much for your time. Before I get onto
21:17
Speaker 1: your real hitting ground, immigration, the question is this, what
21:22
Speaker 1: will the treaty cost and what will this land claim
21:26
Speaker 1: of a Melbourne potentially cost.
21:29
Speaker 9: Look to be honest, we don't know exactly whoever, if
21:31
Speaker 9: we're going to add a third house to the state parliament,
21:34
Speaker 9: so I've got a upper House, a lower House, and
21:36
Speaker 9: now we're going to have a First Nation's House. Obviously
21:39
Speaker 9: that's going to add significantly significant cost in terms of
21:41
Speaker 9: running expenses, staff, salaries and all those sorts of things.
21:44
Speaker 9: And what also means is that it's going to add
21:46
Speaker 9: a whole layer of bureaucracy to Victoria. It means that
21:49
Speaker 9: every piece of legislation, etc. Is going to now have
21:52
Speaker 9: to run through this First Nation's House, and that means
21:55
Speaker 9: we're going to have more red tape, which then means
21:58
Speaker 9: it's going to be a lot harder to get things
21:59
Speaker 9: done in Victoria, whether that's projects and that sort of thing.
22:03
Speaker 9: So to the extent that the treaty adds cost to
22:05
Speaker 9: running the state, that's obviously going to have to be
22:07
Speaker 9: recovered via taxes, and it's going to mean less economic
22:09
Speaker 9: growth that.
22:09
Speaker 1: Sort of thing.
22:11
Speaker 9: So you know, Andrew, Victoria's economy is already very weak.
22:14
Speaker 1: We've got we're.
22:15
Speaker 9: Drowning in debt. We have the highest taxes in the
22:18
Speaker 9: nation of any state. So if we're going to add
22:21
Speaker 9: a whole new layer of bureaucracy, that in my opinion
22:24
Speaker 9: is a pretty retro retrograde move here, and it's just
22:28
Speaker 9: going to weaken the state ultimately.
22:33
Speaker 1: Yes, I think the first business is to worry will
22:35
Speaker 1: be anyone that's got a boat playing up and down
22:39
Speaker 1: the Arra River for a start. Now, But to another issue, immigration,
22:43
Speaker 1: which you've written so much on and so well. The
22:47
Speaker 1: Institute of Public Affairs is in a new reported study
22:49
Speaker 1: of the immigration figures to September that we have in
22:54
Speaker 1: those known months had the highest ever number of permanent
22:57
Speaker 1: long term migrant arrivals for similar periods. Just extraordinary numbers, Leath,
23:03
Speaker 1: and I know you've been warning about this kind of thing,
23:05
Speaker 1: comparing just the first three cords of every year, and
23:08
Speaker 1: especially so even more amazing when you think the Albutizy
23:12
Speaker 1: government claimed it would be slashing these numbers. I don't
23:15
Speaker 1: see that happening. What's going on and what effects it
23:19
Speaker 1: had on say, house prices and rents.
23:22
Speaker 9: Yeah, So the numbers that you're referring to, that that's
23:24
Speaker 9: the monthly net perman long term arrivals data. Now they're
23:27
Speaker 9: not the official net overseas migration data which comes out
23:29
Speaker 9: six months later, but they are used as like a
23:32
Speaker 9: leading indicator for migration typically, and we've basically got record
23:36
Speaker 9: numbers the first seven months of this year, the highest
23:38
Speaker 9: in history, six percent higher than the same time last year.
23:41
Speaker 9: At the same time today, Andrew, we got the official
23:44
Speaker 9: labor force release from the Strain Bureau Statistics and that
23:47
Speaker 9: showed that Australia's working age population has been rising throughout
23:50
Speaker 9: twenty twenty five. So both sets of data suggest that
23:53
Speaker 9: net overseas migration's rising again. And Totality, which is a
23:57
Speaker 9: housing data provider, they reported this month at Australia rental
24:00
Speaker 9: vancy rate is actually fallen to a record low and
24:03
Speaker 9: that rents are now accelerating. So it appears that the
24:05
Speaker 9: imbalance between population demand and housing supply is worsening once again.
24:10
Speaker 9: And this is obviously terrible news if you're a renter
24:13
Speaker 9: or if you're someone who's looking to buy a home,
24:15
Speaker 9: because just means it's going to get a whole lot
24:16
Speaker 9: more difficult.
24:20
Speaker 1: I just don't get it. I mean, the government keeps saying,
24:22
Speaker 1: oh no, it's a supply issue, not a demand issue
24:25
Speaker 1: like hello, you know, but for one, their program to
24:30
Speaker 1: build all these houses one and one point two million
24:33
Speaker 1: in four years or whatever it is, that's way behind schedule.
24:38
Speaker 1: How can it not then be a problem supply of
24:42
Speaker 1: demand as well all these people that are pouring in. Yeah.
24:45
Speaker 9: Absolutely, So the government's housing target is about running sixty
24:48
Speaker 9: thousand behind in its first year, so we're not even
24:51
Speaker 9: close to that being mess at the same time as
24:53
Speaker 9: we've got very high immigrants immigration still, so you don't
24:57
Speaker 9: be a rocket signers. The government's own National Housing Supply
24:59
Speaker 9: and Ability Council worn that, you know, under the Treasury's
25:03
Speaker 9: migration settings, the housing shortage is going to worse than
25:05
Speaker 9: over the next five years. And they actually said that
25:07
Speaker 9: if population grows fifteen percent higher than what Treasury forecasts,
25:11
Speaker 9: which it seems based on these sorts of numbers it
25:13
Speaker 9: probably is tracking around that level, the housing shortge is
25:17
Speaker 9: going to worsen by another two hundred thousand over the
25:19
Speaker 9: next five years. And that's at the top of the
25:21
Speaker 9: estimated two hundred thousand we have already shocking.
25:25
Speaker 1: Oh, that's incredible. Lethanonsilan. The Liberals today said no to
25:31
Speaker 1: net zero. It was actually muddy than that, as you
25:33
Speaker 1: probably know. You know, it's still saying yes, let's cut
25:37
Speaker 1: astray as emission progressively each year, and of course then
25:42
Speaker 1: they've still got to sell it. Who knows how that
25:44
Speaker 1: will go. But how important is this or not that
25:48
Speaker 1: we get rid of net zero?
25:51
Speaker 9: Oh, look it's I think it's very important. Australia counts
25:54
Speaker 9: for only about one percent of global carbon emissions, so
25:56
Speaker 9: we should not be trying to lead the world on
25:58
Speaker 9: net zero and punishing as with high energy costs, which
26:01
Speaker 9: is exactly what we're doing. We export seven times more
26:04
Speaker 9: coal then we use ourselves. We export four times more
26:07
Speaker 9: gas then we use ourselves. Much of our coal and
26:10
Speaker 9: gas exports go to China, who was accounted for two
26:13
Speaker 9: thirds of the rise in the world's carbon emissions this century.
26:16
Speaker 9: So you know, Andrew, Australia should place energy, affordabilding security
26:20
Speaker 9: above everything else when it comes to this, because expensive
26:23
Speaker 9: energy means a higher cost of living, it means embedded inflation,
26:26
Speaker 9: it means we're going to have further de industrialization, We're
26:28
Speaker 9: going to keep losing our manufacturing industry and effectual Australia
26:32
Speaker 9: should be aiming to become more efficient in all areas
26:34
Speaker 9: of the economy by basically using less resources per unit
26:38
Speaker 9: of output, rather than focusing on some arbitrary target which
26:41
Speaker 9: is going to push up our energy costs. But that
26:43
Speaker 9: being said, I'd like to see the coalition back Peter
26:45
Speaker 9: Dutton's excellent gas reservation policy that he took to the
26:48
Speaker 9: last federal election, because Andrew cheaper gas is critical for
26:52
Speaker 9: lower energy costs, and Peter Dutton's gas reservation plan would
26:55
Speaker 9: have delivered that.
26:59
Speaker 1: Look, the whole thing just strives me nuts. It's so
27:02
Speaker 1: insane what we're doing to ourselves. Leif for nonsolin macrovisiness,
27:06
Speaker 1: thank you so much, indeed for your time, really appreciate it.
27:10
Speaker 1: After the break, the Liberals scrap net zero, Yes, but
27:15
Speaker 1: now listen to the lies and the falsehoods thrown at
27:18
Speaker 1: them from climate hysterics. Now, the liberals decision to scrap
27:26
Speaker 1: the net zero targets has been the a q for
27:29
Speaker 1: more hysteria, mad claims, even lying about the climate, ignorant, ludicrous,
27:36
Speaker 1: unscientific scares like this nonsense. I showed you earlier from
27:40
Speaker 1: one of the journalists attacking opposites, Leader Susan Lee.
27:44
Speaker 7: So in the coming years, when Australians are counting the
27:46
Speaker 7: cost of fires and floods and other natural disasters, is
27:50
Speaker 7: your response going to be to them, don't worry, we
27:53
Speaker 7: just did our share.
27:56
Speaker 1: Well, there's similar claim today from the Climate Council. Recall
28:00
Speaker 1: that had Tim Flannery first, the country's first climate commissioner.
28:07
Speaker 1: He helped set that up. A claim that the Liberals
28:11
Speaker 1: policy would burn down the country, hurt your children.
28:17
Speaker 2: If this was enacted by a government, it would mean
28:19
Speaker 2: more fires, more floods, more deadly heat waves.
28:22
Speaker 6: It's saying, to hell with our kids future.
28:25
Speaker 1: How can she tell such untruths and with such sanctimony.
28:30
Speaker 1: I mean she must know everything she said was false.
28:35
Speaker 1: Australia is simply too small to affect the climate by
28:39
Speaker 1: anything measurable, whatever we do. Former Chief Scientists of Australia
28:44
Speaker 1: and thinker, he said, he admitted that, he admitted that
28:47
Speaker 1: it's a global one believer himself had to admit it
28:50
Speaker 1: on oath to a parliamentary committee.
28:53
Speaker 10: In Australia, we admit less than one point three percent
28:57
Speaker 10: of the world's carbon emissions. If we reduce the world's
29:02
Speaker 10: carbon emissions by one point three percent, what impact would
29:07
Speaker 10: that have on the changing climate of the world.
29:10
Speaker 1: Virtually nothing. We could close every Culfard power station, destroy
29:15
Speaker 1: every car, ground, every airplane, put a cork and every
29:20
Speaker 1: cow and would still make virtually no difference to the climate.
29:24
Speaker 1: And that is the science. Where does the Climate Council lie?
29:32
Speaker 1: But it does highlight the critical issue Now for the Liberals,
29:36
Speaker 1: sure they've scrapped in a zero applause, but do they
29:40
Speaker 1: have the leader who now can not just defend it
29:42
Speaker 1: but turn this issue into an attack on the government
29:45
Speaker 1: and its disastrous energy policies. I'll ask, will this effort
29:50
Speaker 1: do this attack on Labour's plans today by Opposition leader
29:53
Speaker 1: Susan Lee.
29:55
Speaker 2: There is no plan. The government has no plan to
29:59
Speaker 2: deliver househ what they deserve. Isn't this the first responsibility
30:03
Speaker 2: of every government to make sure that its citizens can
30:07
Speaker 2: have access to affordable power in winter, in summer, for
30:10
Speaker 2: manufacturing and for their daily needs.
30:14
Speaker 1: Joining Miss the Penels, go and you's host Anika di
30:16
Speaker 1: Georgia and communications consultant Christian McSweeney, who has worked for
30:20
Speaker 1: coalition prime ministers and premiers. But Chris the how about
30:25
Speaker 1: giving some advice free advice now to an opposition leader.
30:28
Speaker 1: I said, I thought Lee did okay today, but it's
30:32
Speaker 1: that start of communications what you'd like to see from
30:35
Speaker 1: a Liberal leader.
30:38
Speaker 11: Look, I thought she did okay too, and I thought
30:41
Speaker 11: she did okay. Given the fact that they still haven't
30:44
Speaker 11: had a policy. There has been six months since the
30:48
Speaker 11: election of the Liberals making themselves the story. There's some
30:52
Speaker 11: very obvious wedges there that they could have been prosecuting
30:55
Speaker 11: through the last term of government. They could have started
30:59
Speaker 11: work and could have started work day after the election
31:02
Speaker 11: to have a policy, to come to the Parliament and
31:06
Speaker 11: to wedge the Labor Party. And I think that it's
31:10
Speaker 11: laziness to make yourself the story for the last six
31:14
Speaker 11: months and to say we're going to dump net zero,
31:17
Speaker 11: but we're not offering Australians an alternative. And I understand
31:21
Speaker 11: they're endeavoring to get to that point, but you know, Andrew,
31:25
Speaker 11: I think it's lazy. We've had fifteen years, fifteen years
31:28
Speaker 11: and six months to come up with a viable alternative.
31:31
Speaker 11: I see a lot of it is returning to Peter
31:33
Speaker 11: Dunton's nuclear plan, A good plan, a plan that had
31:37
Speaker 11: a lot of support if it was indeed a plan
31:40
Speaker 11: that was saleable because it should have been thought out.
31:43
Speaker 11: So we can see that there's been a lack of
31:45
Speaker 11: work in the past term. That lack of work has
31:48
Speaker 11: continued since the election and we're now here defending this
31:53
Speaker 11: circus that we have seen since the election. Now there's
31:56
Speaker 11: a message there to sell, absolutely, but does the Coalition
32:01
Speaker 11: have the ability, the appetite and the work ethic to
32:05
Speaker 11: get to work and sell that. They think they've got
32:08
Speaker 11: until the next election to do that. There's an election
32:11
Speaker 11: here in Victoria in November twenty twenty six. Now the
32:15
Speaker 11: voters of Victoria are going to expect an alternative policy
32:19
Speaker 11: before that brand damage is done. And there's a lot
32:23
Speaker 11: of brand damage in the gamble that we've taken. There's
32:26
Speaker 11: a lot of positives as well. If we can get
32:27
Speaker 11: that message right, absolutely, but come up with an alternative
32:31
Speaker 11: otherwise that brand damage is going to festa.
32:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll come up with an alternative. What do you
32:38
Speaker 1: think Denika can the more than defend themselves. They've got
32:43
Speaker 1: to launch an attack in the disastrous policies that the
32:47
Speaker 1: government is already inflicting on Australia, never mind any alternative.
32:51
Speaker 1: In one sense, do you think the Liberals are up
32:54
Speaker 1: to it and under.
32:55
Speaker 12: This leadership, To be honest, I don't think so. Honestly,
33:00
Speaker 12: I just don't see it happening under this leadership.
33:03
Speaker 7: Andrew.
33:04
Speaker 12: Look, the Liberals have had six months now to pull
33:07
Speaker 12: themselves together, and today was the very first time that
33:10
Speaker 12: we saw Susan Lee really have a crack at policy.
33:13
Speaker 1: Now.
33:14
Speaker 12: Look, she's worked very hard. I don't deny that, But
33:17
Speaker 12: do I think that now she is the leader that's
33:20
Speaker 12: going to take this policy to the next election to
33:23
Speaker 12: prosecute it, because day in day out, she's going to
33:25
Speaker 12: come up with come against journalists like what we experience today.
33:29
Speaker 12: She's going to have labor after them the Greens today,
33:32
Speaker 12: I mean Sarah Hanson Young called them, you know, all
33:35
Speaker 12: sorts of things today. She's going to have to really
33:38
Speaker 12: put up a fight, and I'm not so sure she
33:41
Speaker 12: is the one to do this. Six months of dilly dallying,
33:44
Speaker 12: we were told that an energy policy would be on
33:46
Speaker 12: the table within twelve months. I'm glad they've brought it
33:49
Speaker 12: forward somewhat to six months, But even this week, the
33:51
Speaker 12: way that they've gone about it, it has dragged on
33:55
Speaker 12: yesterday today. Then they're going to meet on Sunday. Why
33:58
Speaker 12: didn't Susan Lee come out yesterday speak and say this
34:01
Speaker 12: is what the policy was.
34:02
Speaker 3: Everything is dragged.
34:03
Speaker 12: Out And I think in terms of a cell in
34:06
Speaker 12: answers to that question, I don't think the general public
34:09
Speaker 12: care about the terms net zero, that don't care about
34:11
Speaker 12: the Paris Agreement. They go, my bills are going up
34:14
Speaker 12: and up. So it's short, sharp slogans that are actually
34:18
Speaker 12: going to bring voters with them. And look, it's not going.
34:22
Speaker 13: To be easy.
34:23
Speaker 12: I don't think Andrew.
34:26
Speaker 1: No, it certainly isn't going to be easy. You do
34:29
Speaker 1: need cut through and I was surprised this is in
34:33
Speaker 1: Lee sounded so on top of some of the details
34:36
Speaker 1: of climate policy. But I think you're going to need
34:40
Speaker 1: a blowtorch to get the message through when you're talking
34:43
Speaker 1: about challenging a religion. But on that point, Christy, I
34:47
Speaker 1: wonder whether one problem with selling a message is that
34:51
Speaker 1: Australians generally seem to have lost the respect for disciplines.
34:54
Speaker 1: We're making things actually work counts where spin and slogans
35:00
Speaker 1: don't cut it. For a start, not one minister in
35:03
Speaker 1: this Albanizi government that's got this disastrous transition to renewables
35:08
Speaker 1: has worked as an engineer or a scientist. Most of the
35:11
Speaker 1: lawyers are union officials party workers. In Australia, generally only
35:15
Speaker 1: eight point five percent of our graduates have an engineer
35:17
Speaker 1: in qualification, the sixth lowest then developed world. We have
35:22
Speaker 1: so few mechanics and other job where things must be
35:25
Speaker 1: made to work. Car owners can wait months, we're told
35:28
Speaker 1: for some repairs, and we have so few scientists twelve
35:32
Speaker 1: thousand and too few claims university in Australia. I mean,
35:36
Speaker 1: is this part of the problem that that's left the
35:39
Speaker 1: voter block that will fall for any spin that you
35:42
Speaker 1: can run an economy on just wind and solar.
35:47
Speaker 11: Well, they have fallen for the spin, Andrew. But they've
35:49
Speaker 11: fallen for the spin because I returned to my point.
35:52
Speaker 11: The Coalition hasn't taken up this issue for fifteen years.
35:56
Speaker 11: They haven't prosecuted an argument, they haven't done work, and
36:00
Speaker 11: we are now at the point where the Australian public
36:03
Speaker 11: thinks net zero is interchangeable with believing in climate change.
36:07
Speaker 11: And as you said, you compared it to a religion.
36:10
Speaker 11: Well that's the key tenant of that.
36:13
Speaker 7: Now.
36:14
Speaker 11: If we want to wind that clock back fifteen years.
36:17
Speaker 11: That has enabled that message to be entrench As I say,
36:20
Speaker 11: that's a gamble. They have to have the capability work
36:24
Speaker 11: ethic and to do that. I'm not sold on the
36:27
Speaker 11: fact that they do, given the fact that I saw
36:30
Speaker 11: a lot during the last election around how we sought
36:34
Speaker 11: to develop a nuclear energy plan was essentially three dot
36:37
Speaker 11: points on a page. The sentiment's a good one, but
36:40
Speaker 11: you have to work, guys. And I saw a lot
36:43
Speaker 11: of people caring about the election that's in front of them,
36:46
Speaker 11: Andrew and Danika of this week, and that election is
36:50
Speaker 11: called pre selection. I haven't seen a lot of people
36:52
Speaker 11: get to work caring about the election that's coming down
36:55
Speaker 11: the track.
36:58
Speaker 1: Well. On the nuclear policy, they had a policy that
37:00
Speaker 1: they didn't have the confidence to prosecute that it was
37:04
Speaker 1: a defensive policy. Now here's the point, Daneaker. They really
37:08
Speaker 1: do need to use this, you know, argue for it proudly.
37:13
Speaker 1: This is the weapon to attect the government. It's not
37:16
Speaker 1: one you should be in defense against. You know, Look,
37:20
Speaker 1: we do have a policy that we don't really want
37:21
Speaker 1: to talk about it. Go for it.
37:25
Speaker 12: One percent, Andrew. If you remember, in the dying days
37:28
Speaker 12: of this year's election campaign, suddenly the word nuclear wasn't mentioned.
37:32
Speaker 12: I don't even recall it being mentioned once.
37:35
Speaker 2: By the Liberals.
37:36
Speaker 12: They got scared, They absolutely got scared. Well, what's the
37:39
Speaker 12: point of being an alternative government if you've got to
37:41
Speaker 12: run away from key issues? Which brings me, in my
37:44
Speaker 12: opinion now andrew to the next policy that the Liberals
37:47
Speaker 12: need to prosecute, and that is migration, another issue that
37:51
Speaker 12: they cannot be running away from because of the you know,
37:53
Speaker 12: the R word that gets tossed around racism. It is
37:57
Speaker 12: not racist to have a genuine conversation mass migration in
38:01
Speaker 12: this country and the types of people we are bringing in.
38:03
Speaker 12: So if this is going to be a genuine opposition,
38:05
Speaker 12: well it's time to have some tough and probably at
38:08
Speaker 12: times uncomfortable discussion. But give Australians a different point of difference,
38:16
Speaker 12: give voters what they want, and it all starts with
38:19
Speaker 12: having guts and courage.
38:22
Speaker 1: I'm glad you mentioned that nuclear power. In the election.
38:24
Speaker 1: There was one debate between Ted O'Brien, who developed the
38:28
Speaker 1: nuclear policy, and Chris Bowen at the National Press Club.
38:33
Speaker 1: Really O'Brien wiped the floor with Bowen, absolutely wiped the
38:38
Speaker 1: floor with him. A turn that gibbering global warming maniac
38:43
Speaker 1: into a paddle of sweat. And I couldn't believe that
38:46
Speaker 1: they hadn't used the new hadn't focused on climate policy
38:52
Speaker 1: being the government's achilles heel and not its strength. Let's
38:55
Speaker 1: hope they've learned that. Lesson Adnika to Georgio Christi McSweeney,
38:58
Speaker 1: thank you very much to you both. After the break,
39:03
Speaker 1: Britain's Labor Party won a massive election victory only sixteen
39:09
Speaker 1: months ago. Now it's Prime minister makes off full of himself,
39:12
Speaker 1: trying to save his job as poll show his cactus.
39:15
Speaker 1: And this is inspiration for the Liberal party here. I
39:27
Speaker 1: always try to be helpful on this show, so I'm
39:30
Speaker 1: now going to offer the Liberals some hope, even inspiration,
39:35
Speaker 1: because you know how they got smashed at the last
39:37
Speaker 1: election so badly that commentators reckoned the Liberals. They are
39:41
Speaker 1: gone for a generation, maybe forever. Well. In Britain, Labor
39:47
Speaker 1: there had a massive win, like Labor here, massive win
39:50
Speaker 1: and only sixteen months ago it won three times more
39:54
Speaker 1: seats than the Conservatives. But like Labor here, it wasn't
39:59
Speaker 1: actually that popular. Labor here, Labor there both got around
40:04
Speaker 1: just thirty four percent or so of the vote thirty
40:07
Speaker 1: four percent right. And now look just sixteen months later,
40:12
Speaker 1: Britain's Prime Minister Keya Stammer and his Labor government so incompetent,
40:18
Speaker 1: so hated that the Governm's now running third in some poles,
40:22
Speaker 1: third behind Najel Foraja's reform, Patty and the Conservatives. And
40:27
Speaker 1: now the media there is suddenly reporting that some of
40:30
Speaker 1: the government are plotting to replace Starma, who's fighting back.
40:34
Speaker 1: The media was full of it on Tuesday.
40:36
Speaker 5: Chatter's been swirling around for days about a challenge, and
40:40
Speaker 5: she says a number ten operation is going on the
40:43
Speaker 5: attack ahead of a difficult budget that's on the twenty
40:46
Speaker 5: sixth of November. Beth reports to The argument being made
40:50
Speaker 5: by the PM's allies is that any challenge would precipitate
40:54
Speaker 5: a drawn out leadership election process, spook the markets, and
40:58
Speaker 5: only create more chaos and further damage to the Labor brand.
41:03
Speaker 5: She says, I'm told that the PM is determined to
41:06
Speaker 5: fight on and has no intention of giving way just
41:09
Speaker 5: eighteen months into his term.
41:13
Speaker 1: Drama, drama, drama. But yesterday it got worse for Standard
41:17
Speaker 1: because it turned out his own staff had leaked this story.
41:22
Speaker 1: Apparently somehow damaged the man they feared Health Secretary wiz Streading,
41:27
Speaker 1: who wasn't taking that lying down.
41:30
Speaker 13: I think of others been briefing this has been watching
41:32
Speaker 13: too much celebrity traitors and this is just about the
41:34
Speaker 13: worst attack on a faith. It's totally self defeating briefing,
41:39
Speaker 13: not least because it's not true. And I don't understand
41:43
Speaker 13: how anyone thinks it's helpful to the Prime minister either
41:45
Speaker 13: suggests he's fighting for his job.
41:48
Speaker 1: That could the same turnaround in fortunes happen here if
41:51
Speaker 1: the Liberals finally moved the media spotlight off themselves and
41:55
Speaker 1: onto the Albanesi government and it's Minimni Desires has join
41:59
Speaker 1: me from London's Petrick Chris, They's presenter of GBN News. Patrick,
42:03
Speaker 1: always great to see you. Look, first of all, explain
42:06
Speaker 1: the mystery. What has got your labor government so unpopular
42:10
Speaker 1: that it's gone from a landslide win sixteen months ago
42:13
Speaker 1: to on its knees and leadership speculation now And I'm
42:18
Speaker 1: looking here for listeners for Australia.
42:21
Speaker 14: Okay, wow, unrelenting scandals, a corruption minister that went a
42:24
Speaker 14: mid corruption allegations, a homelessness minister that weren't because she
42:28
Speaker 14: was going to make her tenants homeless, A housing minister
42:30
Speaker 14: that weren't because you didn't pay enough housing tax, giving
42:33
Speaker 14: away British sovereign territory to the Chinese, prosecuting military veterans,
42:37
Speaker 14: letting prisoners, including foreign sex offenders, out of prison by mistake.
42:42
Speaker 14: Mostly just the lies though, really planning to stop immigration,
42:45
Speaker 14: they said, Or we've got record levels of illegal immigration,
42:48
Speaker 14: the economies knackered, unemployments up, and we had the highest
42:51
Speaker 14: tax raising budget in history. There has been a tidal
42:55
Speaker 14: wave andrew of weapons grade incompetence, the likes of which
42:59
Speaker 14: I know we've ever seen before. So in a nutshell,
43:02
Speaker 14: that's where it's gone wrong.
43:06
Speaker 1: Well, I have to admit that Australia hasn't been quite
43:09
Speaker 1: very unlucky in its government, and the Liberals not quite
43:12
Speaker 1: so lucky. But that's an extraordinary list. I think he
43:16
Speaker 1: meant you lift out a few things too. But how
43:19
Speaker 1: did you even just since the leadership speculation, Patrick put
43:26
Speaker 1: points a finger at how hopefless dis goovernment is of yours.
43:30
Speaker 1: Why did Sama's staff think it was smart politics to
43:34
Speaker 1: brief reporters that the Prime minister had ministers who are
43:37
Speaker 1: trying to stab him. I mean, really, what's.
43:39
Speaker 14: Going on, Absolutely ridiculous. I mean the Labor government's staff
43:44
Speaker 14: have the opposite of the mind's touch, right. So the
43:47
Speaker 14: thing is the British public wants him out. But there
43:49
Speaker 14: was always at least the pretense that his labor colleagues
43:51
Speaker 14: quite liked him. Well now that's completely gone. It's backfired massively.
43:55
Speaker 14: He's achieved the impossible, or his labor team have achieved
43:58
Speaker 14: the impossible. They've managed to make him even less popular
44:01
Speaker 14: and made some of that labor cabinet slightly more popularly. Yeah,
44:05
Speaker 14: we are now officially being led by a bloke who
44:07
Speaker 14: can't run his own staff, can't run his own party,
44:10
Speaker 14: clearly cannot run the country. And now this morning i'm
44:13
Speaker 14: just reading the briefing, is that, oh, well we can't
44:16
Speaker 14: get rid of we can't get rid of the Labor
44:18
Speaker 14: leader because then they'd have to be a general election. Good,
44:21
Speaker 14: that's what everyone wants. We want them now the budget.
44:25
Speaker 14: The budget is on November twenty sixth, so look watch
44:29
Speaker 14: this space, okay, because I think it's going to be
44:31
Speaker 14: an open revolt. Then the other opportunity would be to
44:34
Speaker 14: wait six months for him to get an absolute kicking
44:37
Speaker 14: at the local elections in May. I don't think we
44:40
Speaker 14: can carry on like this for another six months. The
44:42
Speaker 14: starting gun has been fired. There's a circular firing squad
44:45
Speaker 14: going on in the government at the minute. It's just
44:48
Speaker 14: it's just gonna It's going to blow up at some
44:49
Speaker 14: point very soon.
44:50
Speaker 1: Andrew, Well, I think when your own spin doctors make
44:56
Speaker 1: you look like an idiot and make the guy that's
44:59
Speaker 1: allegedly stop talk, where's streating? He looked all right, Actually
45:02
Speaker 1: he looked at much better proposition to me. But anyway,
45:06
Speaker 1: I think it's time that maybe you really either got
45:08
Speaker 1: new staff and got a new job. Patrick. I started
45:12
Speaker 1: the show tonight by showing how our ABC, you're our
45:17
Speaker 1: version of your BBC deceptively edited quotes with the effect
45:21
Speaker 1: of making Donald Trump look bad, look in this case,
45:24
Speaker 1: like a sex abuser. Well, Donald Trump this week has
45:29
Speaker 1: given your BBC until tomorrow to apologize for similarly doctoring
45:34
Speaker 1: quotes to make it seem like he incited a mob
45:37
Speaker 1: to commit violence. He's given them till tomorrow to apologize.
45:41
Speaker 1: Pay him some handsome conversation. Where is going to sue
45:44
Speaker 1: them for a billion dollars American, What are they going
45:47
Speaker 1: to do?
45:49
Speaker 13: Well?
45:49
Speaker 14: The BBC is going to find a way of making
45:51
Speaker 14: is even worse, obviously, because that's what the BBC does.
45:54
Speaker 14: The problem is that they're doing this with our money.
45:56
Speaker 14: So the clock is ticking. You're right, it's ten pm
45:59
Speaker 14: u K time on Friday that the BBC has to
46:03
Speaker 14: do this apology. The latest on this morning's papers over
46:06
Speaker 14: here is that the BBC has said they are ready
46:08
Speaker 14: to apologize, but he has to accept that apology. It
46:11
Speaker 14: has to be a suitable form of apology, otherwise he's
46:14
Speaker 14: going to sue them into oblivion. You know, this isn't
46:16
Speaker 14: a time for the BBC to get brave because they're
46:18
Speaker 14: getting brave with our money.
46:20
Speaker 1: We all have to pay for the BBC.
46:22
Speaker 14: So don't dare say, oh, you know what, actually we'll
46:25
Speaker 14: fight it in the course.
46:26
Speaker 1: No, you won't.
46:27
Speaker 14: Just apologize to him, pay him a bit maybe and
46:30
Speaker 14: then and then we don't have to We don't have
46:32
Speaker 14: to fuck the bill for.
46:33
Speaker 1: The billion dollars that you might have to pay him.
46:35
Speaker 14: You know, it's a it's a complete concersion, but it's
46:37
Speaker 14: classic BBC. They make a mess and then we the
46:40
Speaker 14: British public have to pay for it, and it appears
46:43
Speaker 14: to be no kind of self reflection on this. You know,
46:47
Speaker 14: it's just another BBC scandal, isn't it.
46:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, But what amazes me Patrick is that everywhere you
46:54
Speaker 1: look at seems our ABC, Canada's public brooadcast, your public broadcast,
47:03
Speaker 1: America's public broadcaster, which is much smaller. I got there
47:06
Speaker 1: but now get captured by the left. How on earth
47:10
Speaker 1: does this happen? And then they you know, they're the
47:12
Speaker 1: mainstream suddenly and it's up to private companies like you know,
47:17
Speaker 1: gb News to offer a conservative alternative. How does this happen?
47:23
Speaker 14: Yeah, Well, the problem with the BBC is they don't
47:25
Speaker 14: realize their own left wing bias. Every single time a
47:29
Speaker 14: news or politics presenter leaves the BBC, what they do
47:32
Speaker 14: is they set up a podcast and then they have
47:34
Speaker 14: some kind of pseudo coming out ceremony where they shock
47:38
Speaker 14: horror revealed that they've actually been a massive lefty all along,
47:41
Speaker 14: and we're like, well.
47:42
Speaker 1: We know, we know that you have been.
47:44
Speaker 14: There is institutional bias there, unquestionably, and we've seen it
47:48
Speaker 14: not just with President Trump but also with things that
47:50
Speaker 14: have been pushing about the pro transagender, things about the climate,
47:53
Speaker 14: things about immigration, things about asylum seekers, you name it.
47:56
Speaker 14: The BBC's ticking all of that, Bingo can't but they
47:59
Speaker 14: don't seem to be able to to to actually spot
48:02
Speaker 14: it about themselves. So you know, now it's being called out,
48:06
Speaker 14: they don't particularly like it. But you're right, there are
48:08
Speaker 14: now alternative sources of media and you know, people like GPS,
48:11
Speaker 14: so people could hold up hold up the reports side
48:15
Speaker 14: by side there. But yeah, clearly Trump is not is
48:18
Speaker 14: not standing for this anymore. Is he decided to put
48:20
Speaker 14: his foot down on it and the BBC is going
48:21
Speaker 14: to have to confront some dangerous home Trew is the
48:23
Speaker 14: only thing I will say quickly, Andrew is their response
48:25
Speaker 14: to this left wing by a scandal has been for
48:28
Speaker 14: the only right wing person there to step down and
48:32
Speaker 14: for sorry, and there is another right wing person as well,
48:36
Speaker 14: and they are they are now they are now thinking
48:38
Speaker 14: of sacking him as well.
48:40
Speaker 1: So brilliant. Yeah, great, I wish we had people slipping down,
48:44
Speaker 1: Patrick Christis, thank you so much. Indeed, let's it for me.
48:47
Speaker 1: Sherry maxing up next with a real well deserved rebuttal
48:51
Speaker 1: to people trying to driver off the air better listen,
48:54
Speaker 1: good night,
