Speaker 1: Peter Kredlin live on Sky News Australia.
0:07
Speaker 2: Good evening, busy show for you tonight. He's what's coming
0:10
Speaker 2: up on Credline labor at pains to explain away a
0:13
Speaker 2: dire credit warnings from SNP as we learn the only
0:16
Speaker 2: way they're going to be able to fund their election
0:18
Speaker 2: largess is via a new seven billion dollar a year
0:22
Speaker 2: tax on Matti reads, Yes you heard that right, seven
0:25
Speaker 2: billion a year. More on this coming out your favorite sator,
0:29
Speaker 2: Senator just in an average Proprice joins me on the
0:32
Speaker 2: show tonight. It's former PM Tony Abbott goes public and
0:35
Speaker 2: says that being welcome to our country every time a
0:38
Speaker 2: plane lands in Australia is grating. Plus more on the
0:42
Speaker 2: campaign Karen Manique Ryan, she's become a poster girl for
0:46
Speaker 2: what not to do in an election campaign. Even as
0:50
Speaker 2: the fall that from the Beijing links of the volunteers
0:52
Speaker 2: just adds to her woes, She's still blaming everyone else.
0:56
Speaker 2: So I'll show you that in a moment. And nuclear
1:00
Speaker 2: agitators tried to derail the opposition leader's campaign today, but
1:04
Speaker 2: name wasn't having a bar of it.
1:07
Speaker 3: They were Greens and tailed supporters dressed up and it
1:10
Speaker 3: was a stunt, so this made no difference to me.
1:16
Speaker 2: But first you've got to admire Peter Dutton's calmness under fire,
1:20
Speaker 2: because he's not just fighting an election campaign against Labor,
1:23
Speaker 2: he's fighting against the Greens, the Unions and now the
1:26
Speaker 2: Teals as well. But more than that. In this election
1:30
Speaker 2: campaign like no other, the opposition leader has also faced
1:33
Speaker 2: a barrage of loaded questions almost every day from a
1:37
Speaker 2: media pack. There's always trying to prove he's a fool
1:41
Speaker 2: or a knave. Basically every question at every Darton media
1:44
Speaker 2: conference is either an implicit criticism or an open challenge.
1:49
Speaker 2: Here's just some from yesterday.
1:52
Speaker 4: The Liberal candidate for Fowler has had to apologize or
1:55
Speaker 4: social media pos where he repeatedly is derogatory terms to
2:00
Speaker 4: refer to Indigenous Australians. Is this the standard you will
2:03
Speaker 4: accept for Liberal candidates.
2:05
Speaker 2: At this point?
2:05
Speaker 5: Do you conceive that it's now mathematically impossible for you
2:09
Speaker 5: to reach your migration cuts? Why is Coalition disrespecting voters
2:12
Speaker 5: by not releasing the costings on the eve of the election.
2:15
Speaker 6: Why didn't you disclose that you were the beneficiary of
2:17
Speaker 6: a family trust in twenty fourteen.
2:19
Speaker 5: So aren't you being tricky with the truth not to
2:21
Speaker 5: answer today? Aren't you being tricky with your own truth
2:24
Speaker 5: at the moment?
2:24
Speaker 3: Why you?
2:27
Speaker 2: I mean, give me a break today? More of the
2:30
Speaker 2: same now.
2:32
Speaker 7: John Howard made a concerted decision to preference one nation last.
2:35
Speaker 3: Why are you preferencing one nation second? In the majority
2:39
Speaker 3: of electrics across the country.
2:40
Speaker 6: How is it that the Liberal Party has recruited so
2:42
Speaker 6: many members of a religious section for don't vault to
2:45
Speaker 6: hand out for the bad we've been skipped over.
2:47
Speaker 3: We're just giving Well, when.
2:49
Speaker 4: You've called some journalist activists, what questions have you taken?
2:53
Speaker 2: Issue a bief?
2:55
Speaker 8: And that isn't Blaming the media is a convenient excuse
2:58
Speaker 8: at this point of the campaign.
3:01
Speaker 2: I mean, God of the days when prescary journals came
3:04
Speaker 2: up with a question out of their own head. You're
3:07
Speaker 2: not to say that nearly all of them, Well, they
3:09
Speaker 2: were reading questions off their phone. Presumably that's the questions
3:13
Speaker 2: that have been supplied to them by Labour's dirt unit. Now,
3:16
Speaker 2: I'm not against tough questioning. Of course our leader should
3:19
Speaker 2: be and would be leaders too held to account by
3:22
Speaker 2: a media that's supposed to speak truth to power. It's
3:26
Speaker 2: just that there we've got a guy in power as
3:30
Speaker 2: opposed to a guy out of power who's getting a
3:34
Speaker 2: much softer sort of scratcher belly sort of ride. Now,
3:38
Speaker 2: maybe they're all auditioning for a job in Albanese's office,
3:41
Speaker 2: given he's got a history of hiring press gallery journalists
3:45
Speaker 2: into his team, like the Guardians Catherine Murphy. Who knows.
3:49
Speaker 2: But his questioning, Albanese's questioning compared to that of Dutton
3:53
Speaker 2: is very different, all pretty respectful, even deferential, ask me questions.
4:05
Speaker 3: He says that Labor has run a campaign to suggest
4:09
Speaker 3: that he's in trouble in Dixon, and he's not in
4:12
Speaker 3: trouble in Dixon at all. Can I ask you, are
4:14
Speaker 3: you going to Dixon today?
4:17
Speaker 2: One and two?
4:19
Speaker 3: What do you say about his accusation? Is he in trouble?
4:22
Speaker 3: Might Labor win his seat?
4:24
Speaker 9: About the rise of right wing minor parties?
4:26
Speaker 6: And do you think that Pintertton's recent comments in recent
4:29
Speaker 6: days have been an attempt to try stoke.
4:33
Speaker 10: Their voters over towards the liberal Abram's tanks that your
4:35
Speaker 10: government fledged to Ukraine more than six months ago are
4:38
Speaker 10: still here in Australia. Is the United States delaying or
4:42
Speaker 10: blocking the transfer of these tanks?
4:46
Speaker 2: I mean every one of those questions without fail. We're
4:50
Speaker 2: a tee up free kick to the Prime Minister. And
4:54
Speaker 2: yet if any of those journalists actually switch their brains
4:56
Speaker 2: on and not just put their mouths into gear and
4:59
Speaker 2: do a bit more than scroll through their iPhones, there
5:02
Speaker 2: is so much that the Prime Minister should be grilled on.
5:06
Speaker 2: On why he pretended there had been no approach from
5:09
Speaker 2: Russia to Indonesia to fly bombers out of a base
5:11
Speaker 2: in West Papua when he knew we know that now
5:14
Speaker 2: from leaked reports that there hadn't been. On why he's
5:18
Speaker 2: routinely claiming that Labour turned a seventy eight billion dollar
5:21
Speaker 2: deficit into two surpluses when and actually he inherited a
5:24
Speaker 2: thirty one billion dollar deficit and the subsequent surpluses were
5:28
Speaker 2: entirely the result of a lucky commodity price boom. And
5:33
Speaker 2: credit here to old school journalist Phil Couri who picked
5:36
Speaker 2: him up on this, but still Albanez it keeps repeating
5:40
Speaker 2: the lie.
5:41
Speaker 3: Here's Phil Coury, you mentioned your two surpluses tonight, and
5:46
Speaker 3: if we can just take issue the seventy eight billion
5:48
Speaker 3: you inherited was actually deficit was actually a forecast.
5:51
Speaker 11: The actual number was thirty one billion.
5:53
Speaker 12: What it was forecast by the for mcguture.
5:56
Speaker 2: But the actual number was thirty one picked up on it.
6:01
Speaker 2: But here is again today the Prime Minister repeating that claim.
6:05
Speaker 13: You've turned around a seventy eight billion dollar deficit the
6:08
Speaker 13: coalition gave to you.
6:09
Speaker 14: That was the forecast.
6:10
Speaker 13: The actual number when you came to power was thirty
6:12
Speaker 13: one billion. Should you be more honest about the figure?
6:15
Speaker 2: That's not right.
6:16
Speaker 12: That was their forecast.
6:17
Speaker 8: Come back to what Trudy just said there. They forecast
6:20
Speaker 8: seventy eight billion. What they what was delivered at the
6:22
Speaker 8: end of that financial year was thirty two billion. You
6:26
Speaker 8: came to office in May that year. Are you saying
6:28
Speaker 8: that you turned around the budget by fifty billion dollars
6:31
Speaker 8: in six weeks?
6:32
Speaker 12: I'm saying their forecasted was seventy eight billion dollars in
6:36
Speaker 12: the budget that they handed down.
6:41
Speaker 2: Now all credit there to our own Truey McIntosh. So I,
6:44
Speaker 2: like many of those clowns, can actually read a set
6:46
Speaker 2: of budget papers. Today, the PM claimed that China and
6:50
Speaker 2: America were both Australia's best friend as if who are
6:56
Speaker 2: we better friends with China or America? Both? Yeah? On
7:02
Speaker 2: Sunday night, after a bit of squirming, he accepted the
7:05
Speaker 2: China was our big strategic threat.
7:08
Speaker 15: Does China pose the biggest risk to our national security?
7:11
Speaker 12: Well, China seeks is the major power in the region
7:15
Speaker 12: which is seeking to increase its influences.
7:18
Speaker 15: The Dublin name China.
7:21
Speaker 12: You didn't, no, no, I said, China is the biggest
7:25
Speaker 12: The country is the country that seeks influence in the
7:29
Speaker 12: region to extend big and that is what we are doing. Well,
7:34
Speaker 12: I'm the prime minister of a country, and how you
7:37
Speaker 12: deal as prime minister is diplomatically.
7:42
Speaker 2: I mean, here is shameless. How can China be both
7:44
Speaker 2: our equal best friend and our biggest threat? But consistency,
7:49
Speaker 2: as you know, has never been a hallmark of Albanese's character,
7:53
Speaker 2: has it?
7:54
Speaker 3: Photos with everyone?
7:55
Speaker 16: Okay in the middle, I stepped back one step. I
8:07
Speaker 16: didn't fall off the stage, just one leg went down.
8:10
Speaker 3: But I was sweet.
8:12
Speaker 7: What's the worst moment of this campaign so far?
8:16
Speaker 12: Probably falling off the stage.
8:18
Speaker 17: Now, you said that was not a fall, you said.
8:25
Speaker 12: It was a joke, chill out.
8:27
Speaker 2: But at the time I stumbled, that's what happened.
8:31
Speaker 14: I laughed about it at the time.
8:34
Speaker 12: I laughed about it since it's no big deal.
8:39
Speaker 2: No consistency, no integrity, and even getting tetchy when Jenno
8:44
Speaker 2: has come back at him. Now, I know the published
8:46
Speaker 2: polls are discouraging for some of the Coalition, but this
8:50
Speaker 2: remains an election that we decided to buy a whole
8:52
Speaker 2: lot of seat specific local campaigns, and in just about
8:56
Speaker 2: every seat the Coalition has better candidates and more inner
9:00
Speaker 2: local campaigns than they did in twenty twenty two. And
9:04
Speaker 2: that's why I think this election's got a long way
9:06
Speaker 2: to run, especially if the Coalition can finally make this
9:10
Speaker 2: a referendum on labor and how much worse to reelected
9:14
Speaker 2: Albanezer government would be. Instead of halfheartedly fending off Labour's
9:18
Speaker 2: smears against them, take Labour's unrealized capital gains tax. Now,
9:24
Speaker 2: very little has been said about this new tax because
9:27
Speaker 2: mainly people don't understand how it would work. So here
9:31
Speaker 2: it is. Say your house is worth a million dollars
9:34
Speaker 2: and it's had a four percent increase in value. Under
9:38
Speaker 2: Albanez's plan, you'd have to find the cash to pay
9:40
Speaker 2: tax on that forty thousand dollars increase in value. An
9:44
Speaker 2: increase in value, I might add that you've never actually
9:48
Speaker 2: seen because you haven't sold the house. You still live there.
9:51
Speaker 2: It's just that the value of your home has gone
9:54
Speaker 2: up on paper and sure label say this is a
9:57
Speaker 2: tax we're only going to apply to siparanuation, but even
10:01
Speaker 2: then just to those with balances over three million dollars.
10:05
Speaker 2: When has this Prime minister ever kept his word? Since?
10:08
Speaker 2: When has labor introduced a tax that it hasn't either
10:12
Speaker 2: increased or extended. Now already the number crunches have been
10:16
Speaker 2: forced to admit that this new tax will raise seven
10:19
Speaker 2: billion dollars a year every year within the decade, and
10:24
Speaker 2: given the estimated cost of labors, and at zero plans
10:27
Speaker 2: as high as one point five trillion dollars, says the experts,
10:32
Speaker 2: this is a tax that will just grow and grow
10:36
Speaker 2: and grow, first on big super balances, then on all
10:40
Speaker 2: super balances, then homes on and on it goes.
10:45
Speaker 1: My word is my bond.
10:51
Speaker 2: This isn't a PM whose time and off has been
10:52
Speaker 2: marked by how many times his lie devoters. He's time
10:56
Speaker 2: has been marked by how many times he's been honest
10:59
Speaker 2: with us. Given that's what's rare do we really want
11:03
Speaker 2: a proven liar back in the lodge. I mean, that's
11:07
Speaker 2: the question every Australian has got to ask themselves between
11:12
Speaker 2: now and six o'clock on Saturday night. All right, let's
11:20
Speaker 2: start with the PM's campaign tonight, Johnny Now, Senior political
11:24
Speaker 2: reporter Trundy Macintosh. We will get to some of the
11:27
Speaker 2: questions there. I know he was dogged today about stuff
11:30
Speaker 2: in relation to the credit rating. Are likely fallen our
11:33
Speaker 2: triple A from SNP A NA the HECLA. But I
11:37
Speaker 2: want to say at the outset treaty or credit to
11:39
Speaker 2: you picking him up on that lie that he perpetuates
11:42
Speaker 2: in relation to the inherited dev said good on you,
11:46
Speaker 2: absolutely good on you. But give us a send of
11:48
Speaker 2: the PM's day on the road.
11:51
Speaker 13: Well, I have to say, Peter, despite all that, the
11:53
Speaker 13: PM is still incredibly confident. They are bullish about their
11:56
Speaker 13: chances here in Queensland. I'd have to say that the
11:58
Speaker 13: press pack today yet a bit more momentum.
12:01
Speaker 14: It's probably hard to tell. On the road. For the
12:03
Speaker 14: last two weeks or so, it's.
12:04
Speaker 13: Kind of felt like it's been very disjointed in terms
12:06
Speaker 13: of the questioning. I think these press packs work best
12:08
Speaker 13: when it's a consistent theme. We saw that today in
12:11
Speaker 13: the questioning on the S and P credit rating. If
12:14
Speaker 13: it had been a good credit rating, make no mistake,
12:16
Speaker 13: any politician will be out there lauding it, saying, look
12:18
Speaker 13: what the independent credit agencies.
12:20
Speaker 14: Are saying about our budget. When it's bad. They want
12:22
Speaker 14: to put distance from it.
12:24
Speaker 13: On the raw politics of what seats here in Queensland
12:27
Speaker 13: are in play, a bit of mail tonight from me.
12:30
Speaker 13: The most likely seat, some Labour people tell me, is
12:32
Speaker 13: to fall is like Heart, that seat in the far
12:35
Speaker 13: Norse that covers Cans because of the retirement of Warren Nsch.
12:38
Speaker 14: But another roughy to keep your eye on is the
12:40
Speaker 14: seat of Bonner.
12:41
Speaker 13: It's been held by Ross Vaster, a pretty little known backbencher,
12:46
Speaker 13: i'd have to say, in terms of his presence in Canberra.
12:48
Speaker 13: He's held the seat though for more than a decade.
12:51
Speaker 13: Labor believes it's essentially a lock.
12:53
Speaker 14: That they will be able to flip that seat currently.
12:55
Speaker 13: Think about where they are, Peter in Queensland, only holding
12:58
Speaker 13: five of the thirty seats, and they're bullish potentially about
13:01
Speaker 13: picking up two. And that's before you get into this
13:03
Speaker 13: inner city green contest, so fascinating to see. Potentially Queensland
13:08
Speaker 13: is a place that Labour could go on the offensive
13:10
Speaker 13: to potentially offset losses in out of suburban Melbourne. But
13:13
Speaker 13: I've been going to a lot of polling boots with
13:15
Speaker 13: the Prime Minister in the last two days and we
13:17
Speaker 13: went to one in Bonner and we saw.
13:19
Speaker 14: This colourbool interjection.
13:20
Speaker 13: I was actually coincidentally just standing right alongside this gentleman.
13:24
Speaker 13: He's actually a Libertarian volunteer handing out for a Senate
13:27
Speaker 13: ticket there. He asked some of these questions directly to
13:30
Speaker 13: the Prime Minister and you'll probably be able to see
13:32
Speaker 13: it here. The AFP sweep in pretty quickly, so to
13:34
Speaker 13: to the staff to try and make sure it doesn't
13:36
Speaker 13: get too close to the PM.
13:38
Speaker 3: How about do you know what a woman is?
13:41
Speaker 18: What what are you going to do about the.
13:46
Speaker 2: Bryce of housing a woman? That's always a goodye for
13:51
Speaker 2: a labor politician. Thank you, Trudy, We'll catch you tomorrow.
13:55
Speaker 2: Now to the opposition leader and busy targeting marginal seats
13:57
Speaker 2: on New South Wales South Coast today, clitical reporter cam
14:01
Speaker 2: Reddit in the Air has filed this report.
14:04
Speaker 19: Peter, it's fair to say today didn't quite go to
14:06
Speaker 19: plan for Peter Darton's team. In the early hours of
14:08
Speaker 19: the morning, his electorate office in his home seat of
14:11
Speaker 19: Dixon was vandalized. An eighteen year old woman has been
14:14
Speaker 19: charged over that. On a visit to Gilmour, his press
14:17
Speaker 19: conference had to be postponed after it was crashed by
14:20
Speaker 19: anti nuclear protesters with union links.
14:23
Speaker 2: What do you make of all this?
14:24
Speaker 20: Well, Arthur roris from the South Coast Labor Council, under
14:27
Speaker 20: instruction from Fiona Phillips, here to completely destroy an incredible
14:32
Speaker 20: community event.
14:33
Speaker 19: Two hours later he did front the press pack in Whitlam,
14:36
Speaker 19: where the Coalition has already dumped a candidate over comments
14:39
Speaker 19: about women in the armed forces. This event lasted just
14:43
Speaker 19: thirteen minutes before he pulled the pin.
14:45
Speaker 14: Thank you very much a transparency. Will you front up
14:49
Speaker 14: to press conferences in Canberra?
14:53
Speaker 11: Peter.
14:53
Speaker 19: The other thing worth noting is the on course to
14:56
Speaker 19: be record number of pre poll Already today more than
14:59
Speaker 19: four all million Australians have cast their vote in this election.
15:03
Speaker 19: That means one in four minds have already been made up.
15:07
Speaker 2: Now, look, I want to return to that report from
15:09
Speaker 2: Rady's agency SMP, warning that Australia's Triple A credit rating
15:13
Speaker 2: is at risk due to the spendeth on from Labor
15:16
Speaker 2: and the government's use of mickey mouse off budget spending.
15:20
Speaker 2: In particular, last night, the Prime Minister completely dismissed this report,
15:24
Speaker 2: not to mention light again about Labour's inherited deficit.
15:29
Speaker 12: The triple A credit rating is there and what we've done.
15:32
Speaker 12: They must have been beside themselves whoever wrote that particular
15:36
Speaker 12: report when the coalition left us with a seventy eight
15:40
Speaker 12: billion dollar deficit.
15:43
Speaker 2: And of course you just saw with my exchange with
15:45
Speaker 2: Trudy McIntosh there when it asked about it today penned
15:48
Speaker 2: on it again. He just doubled down with his lie.
15:51
Speaker 2: It is astounding. Gentlemen out to discuss this and more.
15:54
Speaker 2: Daily Telegraph reporter James Willis former Victorian Liberal Party president
15:58
Speaker 2: Michael Kroger's welcome putting aside of the PM's persistent lying.
16:03
Speaker 2: This credit downgrade risk is a real worry. We now
16:07
Speaker 2: know too that Labor's going to partly fund these election
16:09
Speaker 2: promises by taxing unrealized gains. Now this will slug some
16:14
Speaker 2: five hundred thousands a half a million people across the
16:17
Speaker 2: country with super and the massive sum that labor will
16:20
Speaker 2: bring in from this tax if they are re elected
16:23
Speaker 2: is some seven billion dollars a year. Michael. A lot
16:28
Speaker 2: of people don't understand this. I think this is why
16:30
Speaker 2: it's not been a feature of a campaign. I made
16:32
Speaker 2: the point I'll end up on our homes. This is
16:35
Speaker 2: not real money you're getting in your poor but you
16:37
Speaker 2: will have to pay tax.
16:39
Speaker 1: So this is the problem, Peter. This is this is
16:42
Speaker 1: an outrageous proposition. As you mentioned before. Just see your
16:46
Speaker 1: house is worthy had hundred thousand. Two years later it's
16:48
Speaker 1: assessed it being worth a million dollars, it's gone up. Well,
16:51
Speaker 1: a tax office is going to send you a bill
16:53
Speaker 1: for a percentage of the two hundred thousand, thirty or
16:56
Speaker 1: forty percent of the two hundred thousand. You'll say to
16:57
Speaker 1: the tax office, but hang on, I haven't sold my house.
17:00
Speaker 1: Actually haven't any money to pay the bill. And the
17:03
Speaker 1: answer will be say what, You'll have to sell assets.
17:05
Speaker 1: And this is what Robert got Leaves and other people
17:08
Speaker 1: in the financial press have been writing about. This is
17:10
Speaker 1: a preposterous proposal, basically put into the Parliament by people
17:15
Speaker 1: who have never run a business, never invested money, have
17:18
Speaker 1: no idea really how the financial system works in the
17:20
Speaker 1: private sector. And the problem is once you get into
17:23
Speaker 1: the super sector, pet of the question is there no Well,
17:26
Speaker 1: perhaps we can look it out into actually market residential properties.
17:30
Speaker 2: To be fair, the government's only now proposing it on
17:33
Speaker 2: super accounts with balances at the minute at the mill.
17:38
Speaker 2: But once you break this protocol that the established tax
17:42
Speaker 2: practice in Australia that we do not tax money you
17:45
Speaker 2: don't have. Once we break that and we start taxing
17:48
Speaker 2: money you don't have, they'll go everywhere. Label'll go everywhere.
17:51
Speaker 2: Dirrect James, what about this story today? Forty nine Australian
17:55
Speaker 2: Army tanks. We promise them to Ukraine six months ago,
17:59
Speaker 2: they're still gathering just in Victoria, yet to be approved
18:02
Speaker 2: to go overseas. I mean, Richard Mars couldn't organize a
18:05
Speaker 2: proverbial in a brewery Coulity.
18:10
Speaker 17: Well, Peter, and if you believe Andrew Hasty, the Shadow
18:14
Speaker 17: Defense Minister and a veteran, he is warning that these
18:19
Speaker 17: military pieces of equipment might not be in Ukraine for
18:22
Speaker 17: a year, depending on how things lie. They're certainly months away.
18:26
Speaker 17: And I think it's an extraordinary example of in one hand,
18:29
Speaker 17: politicians standing there and pumping their chests and saying we
18:33
Speaker 17: stand with Ukraine, we are right behind Ukraine, We're here
18:36
Speaker 17: to support Ukraine.
18:37
Speaker 2: And then we.
18:38
Speaker 17: Learn that these trucks that were promised a long time
18:41
Speaker 17: ago are gathering dust. We believe in Victoria.
18:44
Speaker 15: But not only that, like the US.
18:46
Speaker 17: Government is days away from actually getting the legislation through
18:50
Speaker 17: and we're still trying to figure out who is actually
18:53
Speaker 17: going to pay the annual bill to uptake and keep
18:57
Speaker 17: these and maintain these pieces of military equipment. There's still
19:00
Speaker 17: clearly a bit of a to and fro there between
19:02
Speaker 17: Australia and America. And so yes, you have to wonder
19:06
Speaker 17: for the daily retrick that we hear from labor about
19:08
Speaker 17: standing with Ukraine. I mean, for God's sakes, if these
19:11
Speaker 17: things have been promised and we're meant to have delivered them,
19:14
Speaker 17: what is the hold up? And also who is going
19:16
Speaker 17: to pay from them? At this stage we don't know.
19:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, Richard Miles can find time to put his golf
19:22
Speaker 2: clubs in the back of the vip jet when he's
19:24
Speaker 2: flying around the country. He can find time to criticize
19:27
Speaker 2: the bloke his opponent, Andrew Hasty, has worn the military uniform.
19:31
Speaker 2: But he can't do his bloody d ajel. He can't
19:33
Speaker 2: sit behind the desk and sign the papers and make
19:35
Speaker 2: the calls to the States and get these tanks that
19:37
Speaker 2: Abrams tanks actually they're not trucks, these Abram tanks to Ukraine.
19:41
Speaker 2: I just think it's outrageous. I think it's outrageous. Let's
19:44
Speaker 2: go to Coo Young Michael. The AEC are now referring
19:47
Speaker 2: the video showing a whole lot of the volunteers for
19:50
Speaker 2: Monique Ryan, saying that they were directed to vote for
19:53
Speaker 2: her by organizations with historical ties to the Chinese Communist Party.
19:58
Speaker 2: Off to the election watch Dog, which includes Azio and
20:02
Speaker 2: the AFP. Have a listen, we're.
20:05
Speaker 15: Trying to fire find out you know, why you both.
20:08
Speaker 9: Are supporting and obviously.
20:10
Speaker 21: Volunteering for Monty Ryan.
20:13
Speaker 9: Why you you yeah, yeah, plans just TERMI forty is
20:19
Speaker 9: a woman, Ran said, whether well you wish now?
20:29
Speaker 2: Ryan climbed down from a high horse. Today's actually daigned
20:32
Speaker 2: to speak with our own Georgie Dickerson out there on
20:34
Speaker 2: the hustings. She claimed to welcome the investigation, but she
20:38
Speaker 2: still launched into a tirerade of grievances against her opposition.
20:44
Speaker 21: They've ben challenged lots of challenges in the campaign. Obviously,
20:48
Speaker 21: you know there was the video of the neurosurgeon taking
20:51
Speaker 21: down and destroying one of my campaign signed. The Liberal
20:54
Speaker 21: Party has many many people here who you know, they've
20:58
Speaker 21: brought in to campaign on behalf of the candidate. We've
21:03
Speaker 21: heard overnight that some of those people are Exclusive Brethren,
21:07
Speaker 21: so they've joined up with a religious sect. I think
21:10
Speaker 21: some people would have concerns about the Liberal Party aligning
21:12
Speaker 21: itself with an organization that doesn't believe in evolution.
21:18
Speaker 2: I call her the campaign Karen Mikee. I'll tell you what.
21:20
Speaker 2: She's a shocker.
21:21
Speaker 1: She's an absolute shocker. I mean, if there's one result
21:24
Speaker 1: you'd like to see how Ed's election, that's the defeat
21:26
Speaker 1: of her. By the way, Pedro, I'm still waiting for
21:28
Speaker 1: her husband to file a statutory declaration to say that
21:30
Speaker 1: the sign he took down was the only one you
21:33
Speaker 1: might have noticed. We haven't seen him since that event.
21:36
Speaker 1: He's disappeared off the face of the earth. But she's
21:38
Speaker 1: complained here today a but religious people allegedly handing her
21:41
Speaker 1: hat of odd cards. That's shocking. I mean goodness to me.
21:44
Speaker 1: Let's hope there's no Muslims or Jews or you know,
21:47
Speaker 1: Hindu's handing a hat of aote cards. I think they're
21:49
Speaker 1: entitled to hand how to vote cards, aren't they? But look,
21:53
Speaker 1: what's happened today is yesterday is incredibly serious. This has
21:57
Speaker 1: been uncovered and let's hope this integrity investigation by the
22:01
Speaker 1: AEC offshoot gives a report Peter Buyers Saturday. Because twenty
22:05
Speaker 1: five percent of people voted, there's still seventy five percent
22:07
Speaker 1: haven't vaded. They need to know before Saturday what's exactly
22:11
Speaker 1: going on here because this looks very strange to me.
22:15
Speaker 2: And I don't think James that it's just this seat
22:17
Speaker 2: that's in trouble cur Young for the tears. I think
22:19
Speaker 2: it must be across the board, because not only are
22:22
Speaker 2: they having a bit of a dumbest bit about how
22:24
Speaker 2: the campaign's being run, not just in Kuryong, but in
22:26
Speaker 2: other seats. There's a desperate plea for top up money
22:30
Speaker 2: from wealthy donors revealed today Homes of courts put this
22:33
Speaker 2: email already says our opponents have been underestimated both in
22:38
Speaker 2: terms of their viciousness, and they're all resourcing behind them. No,
22:42
Speaker 2: I think this is just the electrics waking up to
22:43
Speaker 2: these frauds. But we'll see on Saturday night. But we're
22:47
Speaker 2: talking about a lot of money being pumped by Climate
22:50
Speaker 2: two hundred into these seats. Two Teals who say we're
22:54
Speaker 2: another party were independent.
22:58
Speaker 17: Yeah, And how Peter that the Climbate two hundred continues
23:03
Speaker 17: to say that all of our money goes directly or
23:06
Speaker 17: indirectly to candidates and campaigns. And you and I have
23:09
Speaker 17: revealed in the last week that Climate two hundred transferred
23:12
Speaker 17: five hundred and eighty eight thousand dollars to a comedian
23:15
Speaker 17: who was making attack ads against the Liberal Party at
23:18
Speaker 17: the last campaign. Look the contests in Sydney, and I'm
23:22
Speaker 17: sure you're seeing them in Melbourne, but in the Sydney
23:24
Speaker 17: Teal held seats they are ferocious. You should see some
23:27
Speaker 17: of the polling booths. The Liberal Party has lifted its game.
23:31
Speaker 17: I think they've got some very strong candidates on the
23:33
Speaker 17: northern Beaches and in the eastern suburbs.
23:35
Speaker 14: Is that enough?
23:36
Speaker 2: I don't know.
23:36
Speaker 17: I certainly know that one of the lines pushed by
23:39
Speaker 17: the Teals is that in a minority government they're going
23:41
Speaker 17: to have a much bigger say than they did in
23:44
Speaker 17: this most recent term. But I certainly expect them to
23:47
Speaker 17: be a lot tighter than what we thought. But yeah,
23:50
Speaker 17: I mean, you've got Simon Holmes a court desperately trying
23:53
Speaker 17: to push for money. Their polling obviously isn't as good
23:56
Speaker 17: as first thought. They're running more than thirty candidates this
23:59
Speaker 17: time instead of just a handful last time, So it's
24:01
Speaker 17: all going to be very interesting how that works with
24:03
Speaker 17: preferences as well. But you certainly get the sense that
24:07
Speaker 17: in some of these seats that were won by Teals
24:09
Speaker 17: blue ribbon strongholds, that they may be switching back. And
24:13
Speaker 17: I think there's a few nervous Teals at the moment.
24:18
Speaker 2: Let's just stay with the Teals. We'll go to the
24:19
Speaker 2: news type seat of Gilmore, revealed of course by the
24:22
Speaker 2: Daily Telegraph today that the Independent Climate two hundred back
24:25
Speaker 2: candidate there. Kate, you might to tell me out with
24:28
Speaker 2: this name, Desanalde's, I think that's how I say it.
24:31
Speaker 2: Previously described in an email the town of Barry in
24:35
Speaker 2: the Electric she wants to represent, as quote, a miserable
24:39
Speaker 2: backwards retirement village that she can't wait to get the
24:43
Speaker 2: hell out of cam Redden. As spoke with the Lips
24:47
Speaker 2: candidate in the seat, Ceda Gilmore Andrew Constance about this today.
24:52
Speaker 2: Arry is not a.
24:53
Speaker 20: Miserable backwards retirement village. It's a beautiful community with amazing people,
24:57
Speaker 20: incredible volunteers, our seniors community. You don't deserve this type
25:01
Speaker 20: of attitude out of a climate two hundred. Simon Holmes
25:05
Speaker 20: a court back candidate.
25:06
Speaker 2: Michael Kroger a miserable backwards retirement phil age a place
25:10
Speaker 2: you can't wait to get the hell out of this.
25:13
Speaker 2: Stuff matters in a tight seat, doesn't it.
25:15
Speaker 1: Well, of course it does. But this is what you
25:18
Speaker 1: get from some of these candidates. They're too good, they're
25:21
Speaker 1: too important for these types of electorates, and abusing people
25:25
Speaker 1: in your own electorate, a part of your own electric
25:27
Speaker 1: is just disgusting. Look Andrew Constance, I've got to say
25:30
Speaker 1: he's going to win that seat on Saturday. Constant is
25:32
Speaker 1: going to win. The more you see him, he grows
25:35
Speaker 1: on you. And secondly, someone who's run for Federal Parliament
25:39
Speaker 1: on as many occasions as he has, in the end
25:41
Speaker 1: the electorate often says he deserves to win, and that
25:45
Speaker 1: Blake Constance deserves to win. And you can just see
25:48
Speaker 1: how close he is to his community the way he
25:50
Speaker 1: responded to day to that shocking, silly demonstration against Peter Dutton.
25:54
Speaker 1: So Constance will win on Saturday, and those remarks are
25:57
Speaker 1: another reason why he's going to win.
25:58
Speaker 2: Peter well I certainly say on Saturday. Nam the Sky
26:01
Speaker 2: News coverage from five o'clock here on Sky News, Michael Kroger,
26:05
Speaker 2: and I know you'll be busy to at the Telegraph.
26:06
Speaker 2: James well ER's thank you gentlemen. Out of the break.
26:09
Speaker 2: The woman who's long called into question our welcome to
26:12
Speaker 2: country ceremonies just center Nampa. Jim Proprice will join me,
26:15
Speaker 2: plus Labour's conduct at remote indigenous polling booths called into question.
26:20
Speaker 2: Senator Price won't be holding back. The AEC is now
26:23
Speaker 2: urged to urgently intervene welcome back still the come and
26:32
Speaker 2: go live with the UK, where very angry Brits are
26:35
Speaker 2: borrowing a very potent Australian political slogan, the brilliant I
26:39
Speaker 2: and herciali in just a moment, But first, the Welcome
26:42
Speaker 2: to Country debate has kicked off again today Former WA
26:46
Speaker 2: Treasurerer Ben Wyatt, the first Indigenous treasure in the nation,
26:50
Speaker 2: conceding that some ceremonies are too long and others descend
26:54
Speaker 2: into political die tribe. Well, last night it was a
26:57
Speaker 2: feature of the debate on Q and A partially of course,
27:00
Speaker 2: what's a question about whether the ceremonies on ANZAC Day
27:03
Speaker 2: are appropriate.
27:05
Speaker 15: I think we need to give weight to the views
27:07
Speaker 15: of veterans.
27:08
Speaker 5: I think that's very important, all speaking as though we
27:11
Speaker 5: don't have indigenous veterans Indigenous Australian That is.
27:17
Speaker 15: A real piece of straw and man rhetoric, if I
27:19
Speaker 15: may say so.
27:19
Speaker 7: It's just gutter politics from an opposition leader whose campaign
27:24
Speaker 7: is in free form and you're starting to punch down.
27:27
Speaker 15: The name that Peter made was that many Australians think
27:31
Speaker 15: that we're seeing the welcome to country ceremony too frequently.
27:35
Speaker 2: You almost get PTSD watching this stuff, don't you. Well
27:38
Speaker 2: today some common sense yet again from Tony Abbott on
27:41
Speaker 2: radio to gb.
27:44
Speaker 11: And it's become, if you like, an exercise in virtue signaling,
27:48
Speaker 11: it's become a badge of political correctness. It's become a
27:51
Speaker 11: political statement, a bit like wearing masks became a political
27:56
Speaker 11: statement during the pandemic.
28:00
Speaker 2: I won't say one, never have, never will. Someone who
28:03
Speaker 2: else who has called into question welcomes to Country acknowledgement
28:07
Speaker 2: of country as well is Shadow Minister for Indigenous Australians
28:10
Speaker 2: just into Nampionship Price. So welcome. I love having you
28:13
Speaker 2: on the show. You're a shot in the arm to
28:16
Speaker 2: all my viewers right around the country. But you for
28:19
Speaker 2: a long time have called into question this practice. Now
28:22
Speaker 2: you've got everybody else talking about it.
28:26
Speaker 5: Yeah, look absolutely, And I think the problem with Welcome
28:29
Speaker 5: to Country is that it allows for I guess the
28:34
Speaker 5: real racists to hide in play plain sight. I mean,
28:37
Speaker 5: if you think about it, those who virtue signal signal
28:40
Speaker 5: the most often those who probably exploit Indigenous Australians. Let's
28:46
Speaker 5: look at the Green Left and in the Environmental Defender's
28:49
Speaker 5: office and the sorts of things that they've done over
28:53
Speaker 5: the years. In recent times, they exploited the Teewee up
28:57
Speaker 5: in the Northern Territory for their own agenda to stop
28:59
Speaker 5: a gas project on their island and absolutely fabricated an
29:04
Speaker 5: Aboriginal dream time story. These are the same people that
29:07
Speaker 5: would stand up and do welcome and acknowledgment to country
29:10
Speaker 5: and pay their respects to elders and that sort of thing.
29:14
Speaker 5: So's you've got that problem on one hand, and then
29:16
Speaker 5: you've got the politicization on the other hand, where it's
29:20
Speaker 5: sort of weaponized and used against Australians and it's quite divisive.
29:24
Speaker 5: And don't get me wrong, there are moments when genuinely
29:27
Speaker 5: those delivering it is about trying to unify this country.
29:30
Speaker 5: But you can't take the risk anymore, I don't believe,
29:33
Speaker 5: and it is very much overdone.
29:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do agree with you in an appropriate setting,
29:39
Speaker 2: and I've always liked the service in and around the
29:43
Speaker 2: opening of Parliament. Fine, but not at a footing match,
29:46
Speaker 2: not when you land a plate, not when someone's sitting
29:48
Speaker 2: on a zoom, or in a conference meeting and you
29:51
Speaker 2: know there's not a Blackfellow issue on the table. There's
29:53
Speaker 2: no one in the room to virtue Singdom two. It's
29:56
Speaker 2: just you know, corporate and doubling down on trying to
30:00
Speaker 2: look and sound good. But you rightly say, doing absolutely
30:04
Speaker 2: nothing practically for Aboriginal people. I want to move on
30:09
Speaker 2: and ask you now, though I've got some serious allegations
30:11
Speaker 2: being made in relation to labor misconduct at remote indigenous
30:16
Speaker 2: polling booths, what are you hearing.
30:20
Speaker 5: So the reports that are coming back to me are
30:23
Speaker 5: no surprise to me because I've been well aware of
30:25
Speaker 5: the conduct that occurs out in remote communities during every
30:28
Speaker 5: single election that we have. We know that when reports
30:34
Speaker 5: are made to the AEC, often the AEC are very lenient,
30:38
Speaker 5: are very slow to respond, they don't speak the local language,
30:43
Speaker 5: and quite often those there are some even those who
30:47
Speaker 5: are temporary AAEC workers from the communities, but also labor
30:51
Speaker 5: people who are telling people telling their own This is
30:55
Speaker 5: the reports recently telling relatives how to vote in favor
30:59
Speaker 5: of and even touching the ballot papers of the voters.
31:04
Speaker 5: So there's a lot of concern about corrupt conduct out
31:09
Speaker 5: in communities which is going which is being reported to
31:11
Speaker 5: the AEC. I did warn the AEC at Center estimates
31:15
Speaker 5: that they need to need to do everything they could
31:17
Speaker 5: to ensure that a proper democratic process is occurring in
31:22
Speaker 5: remote communities, but it looks again like they're dropping the ball,
31:26
Speaker 5: and unfortunately there isn't a media pack out in communities
31:30
Speaker 5: to capture this so that the rest of Australia can
31:33
Speaker 5: see the reality of what goes on in remote communities.
31:37
Speaker 5: I will continue to expose it all the time make
31:40
Speaker 5: sure that the reports are being made and hold the
31:43
Speaker 5: AEC to account to ensure that it's done properly.
31:48
Speaker 2: Let's go to some issues I know that are dominating
31:50
Speaker 2: the news in the Northern Territory. The teenager who allegedly
31:54
Speaker 2: stablish shop Keep It at death last week. He was
31:57
Speaker 2: on bail for rape and aggravated assault charges. If you
32:01
Speaker 2: can believe that he was also on bail when he
32:04
Speaker 2: allegedly sexually assaulted a fourteen year old girl. I know
32:08
Speaker 2: this has brought law and order issues into sharp focus
32:11
Speaker 2: in the top end. How much of this is an
32:12
Speaker 2: issue in the campaign.
32:15
Speaker 5: Yeah, look, it's going to be. It always will be
32:18
Speaker 5: until the situation is under control. A huge issue, particularly
32:22
Speaker 5: in the campaign. You know. It's the reason why when
32:26
Speaker 5: Lea Fanocchiaro came into government she put in a suite
32:28
Speaker 5: of measures starting with strengthening bail laws. It's why she
32:32
Speaker 5: had recalling Parliament back to sit to put even further
32:38
Speaker 5: tighter laws around bail. It's why Peter Dutton flew to
32:43
Speaker 5: Darwin and met myself and Leah and those in distress
32:50
Speaker 5: in the community on Saturday as well. It's largely this
32:54
Speaker 5: is the result of ingrained labor government over so many years,
33:00
Speaker 5: so much work that needs to be done in this space.
33:02
Speaker 5: But the public are also very concerned with the judicial
33:05
Speaker 5: system and they are calling on judges to actually reflect
33:12
Speaker 5: the needs of the community in ensuring that they apply bail,
33:18
Speaker 5: restrict bail appropriately where it is not whether they're not
33:23
Speaker 5: allowing for people such as this young person back out
33:27
Speaker 5: on the streets. And I've spoken to a very close
33:30
Speaker 5: friend of the poor man who lost his life, met
33:36
Speaker 5: with him. I ensured that Peter got a meeting with
33:38
Speaker 5: him as well. And this is what they're calling for.
33:41
Speaker 5: They want the judicial system to stand up and reflect
33:44
Speaker 5: the sentiment of the public and to do their job
33:47
Speaker 5: and protect the public as well.
33:50
Speaker 2: I know you're working hard and they got a few
33:52
Speaker 2: days ago. I really appreciate you joining me on the
33:54
Speaker 2: show tonight. Thank you said it at an Amputuper Price.
33:57
Speaker 2: Let's scretchkeys now for a moment and get out on
33:59
Speaker 2: the ground in one of the ground seats in the
34:01
Speaker 2: election campaign. I'm going now to the seat of Monas.
34:04
Speaker 2: It's in Melbourne's out of southeast where a little candidate
34:07
Speaker 2: Mary Aldred to hoping to make her mark this weekend
34:09
Speaker 2: as she faces off a fierce fight from a very
34:12
Speaker 2: well funded till as well as labor. She joins me
34:15
Speaker 2: now from Warregal. Mary, Welcome, great to have you on
34:17
Speaker 2: the program. We're in the absolute business end of this campaign.
34:21
Speaker 2: Your seat is a must win seat for the Libs.
34:24
Speaker 2: Talk to me about the feeling on the ground, because
34:26
Speaker 2: the Polsters say to me this election the fight is
34:30
Speaker 2: local like never before, are they right? Thanks Peter.
34:37
Speaker 6: It's great to be back at the Warrigal Country Club
34:39
Speaker 6: one with supporters who have helped me on pre Pole
34:41
Speaker 6: all day. They're small business owners, veterans, farmers, community people.
34:45
Speaker 14: It is a battleground here.
34:46
Speaker 6: The Liberal Party won this seat by two point nine
34:49
Speaker 6: percent at the last election, and I am working hard
34:52
Speaker 6: for every single vote. We've got eight and a half
34:54
Speaker 6: thousand square kilometers covering this electorate and I am engaging
34:59
Speaker 6: with all parts of the community. The feeling at Prepole
35:01
Speaker 6: has been really positive. I am so buoyed by every
35:04
Speaker 6: power station worker and trade that's come through this week,
35:09
Speaker 6: coming directly and having a conversation. Lots of power station
35:12
Speaker 6: workers taking my hat to vote card because they know
35:14
Speaker 6: I've stood up for La Trobe Valley energy jobs for
35:17
Speaker 6: timber jobs and I'll.
35:18
Speaker 2: Stand up for this region. I was critical last week
35:24
Speaker 2: of one of your opponents, this is the TL Den Blennon,
35:26
Speaker 2: because last week she put a politically authorized ad in
35:30
Speaker 2: the local paper around an Zac Day. Now turns out
35:34
Speaker 2: I wasn't the only one who's critical. She's faced a
35:36
Speaker 2: lot of criticism for the wrap around in the local paper.
35:39
Speaker 2: There's been letters to the editor and more. I mean,
35:42
Speaker 2: people do not want to see an Zac Day used
35:45
Speaker 2: for political campaigning, do they marry No, they don't, Peter.
35:50
Speaker 6: I mean an Zac Day is a solemn day and
35:53
Speaker 6: it's taken very seriously here right across the Monash electorate.
35:57
Speaker 6: I was up at quarter past three in the morning
36:00
Speaker 6: to get to the Philippila dawn service and then Curra
36:02
Speaker 6: and Borough mid morning and finishing in near him South
36:04
Speaker 6: in the afternoon. It's a very solemn occasion and it's
36:08
Speaker 6: not one that should be politicized and I think the
36:10
Speaker 6: local RSL here have had some words to say about that.
36:13
Speaker 6: I am very strongly engaged right across the electorate with
36:17
Speaker 6: RSLs and XM's organizations, listening to their concerns year round.
36:22
Speaker 14: And it is not a relationship. But whatever take for granted.
36:26
Speaker 2: I know and I know she's also pumping a lot
36:28
Speaker 2: of money into the seat. A bit of a fly
36:31
Speaker 2: by night. We will see on Saturday night. All the
36:34
Speaker 2: very best, Mary for the rundown to polling day. All
36:37
Speaker 2: right after the break, protests over legal but arrivals in
36:40
Speaker 2: the UK have reached fever pitch. Residents are calling out
36:43
Speaker 2: out now for Australian style policies to stop the boats.
36:47
Speaker 2: Plus later on why we must have a serious discussion
36:51
Speaker 2: about ID on polling booths, welcome back to come more
36:59
Speaker 2: examples of labor and the bureaucrats completely ignoring caretaker conventions
37:03
Speaker 2: and voter fraud too. Why I don't trust labor without
37:08
Speaker 2: rules on voter ID But first I take to the
37:11
Speaker 2: UK now where more than a thousand protesters have descended
37:13
Speaker 2: on dover demanding action to stop the vote, saying illegal
37:17
Speaker 2: migrations push Britain beyond the point of no return. Organizers
37:21
Speaker 2: say this wasn't a racist or right wing protests, were
37:24
Speaker 2: just ordinary people saying enough is enough. Johnyman, how to
37:28
Speaker 2: pull it all apart? Good friend and skyn Is contributor
37:31
Speaker 2: Ian hersy Ali, I am welcome to have the show.
37:34
Speaker 2: Great to have you as always. You have long warned
37:37
Speaker 2: our political leaders that if they ignore public concerns about
37:41
Speaker 2: mass migration, it risks fueling anger and division. It feels
37:47
Speaker 2: like me, you know, watching these protests, it feels to
37:50
Speaker 2: me as though Britain is now a tinderbox.
37:57
Speaker 22: I think that this is the word it feels too
37:59
Speaker 22: many people who are watching Britain, and also the way
38:02
Speaker 22: it feels too many Britains. There is a sense that
38:06
Speaker 22: the social contract between those who govern and those who
38:09
Speaker 22: are governed is breaking down or has broken down, because
38:13
Speaker 22: for decades now, since at least the late nineteen nineties,
38:18
Speaker 22: British citizens have been saying they want less immigration, and
38:22
Speaker 22: they get more and more immigration regardless of who is
38:26
Speaker 22: in office. So there's this sense that it really you're
38:29
Speaker 22: voted doesn't matter anymore. The government is not listening, and
38:35
Speaker 22: I think that is why you have this sense that
38:38
Speaker 22: there is a tinder box about to be lit up
38:41
Speaker 22: by something. We just don't know what it is, and
38:44
Speaker 22: it'd be very unfortunate if that were to happen.
38:49
Speaker 2: All the talk about Britain laving Europe and charting its
38:54
Speaker 2: own autonomous course as a sovereign country again when I
38:58
Speaker 2: go to Britain. When I talked to Britain bout this issue,
39:00
Speaker 2: I am that they basically say, we're still so tied
39:03
Speaker 2: to Europe, are forced in the court regime and the
39:06
Speaker 2: human rights legislation just to accept this exodus of people
39:10
Speaker 2: on their shores. But I mean Australia within this sort
39:13
Speaker 2: of position not so long ago, and twice on the
39:16
Speaker 2: Conservative governments, we have stopped the boats. So I don't
39:20
Speaker 2: buy that they can't be stopped. Why isn't government able
39:24
Speaker 2: to do in Britain what they've done in Australia.
39:29
Speaker 22: I think because it's not a question of being unable.
39:32
Speaker 22: I think it's a question of being unwilling. Yes, Britain,
39:38
Speaker 22: through Brexits took control of her own borders. And as
39:41
Speaker 22: you remember, I always use the years of COVID as
39:44
Speaker 22: an example, when the government was perfectly capable of shutting
39:48
Speaker 22: down everything to pass its policies. The British government can
39:54
Speaker 22: get out of these treaties and extract itself from, for instance,
39:57
Speaker 22: the European Human Rights Commission. It can take complete control
40:01
Speaker 22: of its borders, but there is no political will. And
40:06
Speaker 22: I think voters now see this, and they can see
40:09
Speaker 22: that it is throughout the entire political elite, both the
40:12
Speaker 22: Tories and the Labor Party, and now you have this
40:15
Speaker 22: sense of disconnection and distrust between those who govern and
40:20
Speaker 22: those who are governed, and that is that's terrible.
40:26
Speaker 2: Australia has been right across this issue of the child
40:29
Speaker 2: grooming gangs in the UK and the cover up that's
40:33
Speaker 2: now been admitted by UK Safeguarding Minister. She admits, sorry,
40:39
Speaker 2: they admit a cover up as child's exploitation grooming gangs,
40:44
Speaker 2: but they say no inquiry is needed. They say it's
40:48
Speaker 2: an issue of local accountability. Why not? I an, how
40:54
Speaker 2: does that get past the pub test? As we'd say
40:56
Speaker 2: in Australia, it doesn't.
41:00
Speaker 22: I mean it's first of all, it's an unintended consequence
41:03
Speaker 22: of immigration. Is immigrant men of Pakistani origin, many of
41:07
Speaker 22: them Muslim, or the perpetrators of these horrible crimes against children.
41:13
Speaker 22: And what the government has said is now we admit
41:16
Speaker 22: that this has happened, but we're not going to invest
41:20
Speaker 22: in the inquiry we promised. In other words, the government
41:24
Speaker 22: is sitting to vote us yet again.
41:26
Speaker 2: We don't really care what you think. It's shocking style
41:32
Speaker 2: man issue and I'll expect to you again next week
41:34
Speaker 2: after our election here in Australia. Thank you. I am
41:37
Speaker 2: all right. The break the tail mpay who's linked the
41:39
Speaker 2: death the very sad death of a Rugby star to
41:42
Speaker 2: climate change plus lights out in Spain are their lessons
41:46
Speaker 2: here for Australia. Welcome back. Now. I want you to
41:53
Speaker 2: have a look at this clip from the Member for Capricornia.
41:58
Speaker 2: This is Emily Mawson.
42:01
Speaker 14: To the pre palm and as we say, vote early
42:03
Speaker 14: and vote on them.
42:06
Speaker 2: Well, she wants to be the member, she's the candidate.
42:09
Speaker 2: Let's bring in my panel now. Queensland LMP Senator James McGrath,
42:12
Speaker 2: Chief executive at the page At Research Center, Jared Holland, James,
42:18
Speaker 2: that is an admission to me that worries me every election.
42:22
Speaker 2: Voter ID Surely if Labor can lie like they do
42:26
Speaker 2: when the PM's are master at it, then electoral fraud
42:30
Speaker 2: that's an easy thing to do. That's a real risk
42:32
Speaker 2: in this election and every election with labor.
42:37
Speaker 18: It is a real risk with labor. You've just had
42:39
Speaker 18: a Labour can that encourage people to commit electoral fraud
42:44
Speaker 18: which is an offense we and the coalition want to
42:47
Speaker 18: bring in voter id we've previously tried to Indeed, I've
42:50
Speaker 18: got a Medicare card here. You might have seen the
42:52
Speaker 18: Prime Minister throw this one around. We've said you could
42:55
Speaker 18: even use a Mediacare card to allow you to go
42:58
Speaker 18: into a voting station and your identity, but not under labor.
43:02
Speaker 18: Labor and the Greens repose this. We've got a Labor
43:05
Speaker 18: candidate who should be stood down by the way she's
43:07
Speaker 18: encouraging people to commit an offense, an offense against Australia's democracy.
43:13
Speaker 18: Our democracy is far too important to leave it up
43:16
Speaker 18: to the likes of that Labor candidate up in central Queensland,
43:20
Speaker 18: all with the Prime Minister who's doing a dodgy deal
43:23
Speaker 18: with the anti Semitic, racist Greens.
43:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's say Fosse. Questions from the media are about that tomorrow.
43:30
Speaker 2: I won't hold my breath, Jared. Let's go to the
43:33
Speaker 2: scenes we saw in the seat of Gilmour, the marginal
43:35
Speaker 2: seat of course, in New South Wales on the south coast.
43:38
Speaker 2: Gage crashes know all about anti nuclear rubbish today tried
43:42
Speaker 2: to steal some attention from the opposition leader and the
43:44
Speaker 2: Liberal candidate Andrew Constance, but a couple of locals there
43:48
Speaker 2: waiting to vote. They hit back.
43:52
Speaker 18: The ignorant, they don't know the facts and they just
43:55
Speaker 18: scam angry.
43:56
Speaker 2: What do you make of all this men? I think
43:58
Speaker 2: it's ridiculous. We're part of Nuclear for Australia.
44:01
Speaker 14: We're up to date with the facts.
44:04
Speaker 2: Day Watcher voters are much smarter than some of these
44:08
Speaker 2: activists give them credit form.
44:12
Speaker 7: Yeah they are, and good on them too. I mean
44:14
Speaker 7: there's been two lives that have been pushed time and
44:16
Speaker 7: time again by the pro and youur the lobby, and
44:18
Speaker 7: that's around water usage and of course storage of the
44:21
Speaker 7: nuclear waste to water. A nuclear reactor is basically just
44:24
Speaker 7: a fancy way to boil water to produce steam. The
44:27
Speaker 7: uranium atom splits, it creates heat. That heat turns into
44:31
Speaker 7: boils your water. The steam turns, the steam moves the turbine.
44:35
Speaker 7: Turbine powers the generator. Boom, you have electricity, and then
44:38
Speaker 7: water runs back through to cool the whole thing down.
44:40
Speaker 7: This is pretty much the same system as a cult
44:42
Speaker 7: fire power plant, except using uranium instead of coal. They
44:45
Speaker 7: use about the exact same amount of water and the
44:47
Speaker 7: same sites. Makes sense, and the storage same solution. This
44:52
Speaker 7: has been sold for fifty sixty years. Nuclear fuel is
44:55
Speaker 7: extremely dense. All of the nuclear fuel the US is used,
44:57
Speaker 7: and it's fifty sixty seventy years of nuclear fit in
45:00
Speaker 7: one football field, concrete that underground. These are solved problems
45:04
Speaker 7: and it's about time people stood up for the truth,
45:06
Speaker 7: as these two incredible people did there in Gilmore.
45:11
Speaker 2: And let's not forget Australia. Every time you know some
45:13
Speaker 2: of your love that's had ray therapy, radio therapy for
45:17
Speaker 2: cancer treatment, that's done in consultation. Obviously with what we
45:21
Speaker 2: have at Lucas Heights, it's been operating now for what
45:24
Speaker 2: is it, James fifty or sixty years or something now
45:26
Speaker 2: without any concerns. We've all benefited from it. And this
45:30
Speaker 2: is what we want in Australia in terms of energy.
45:33
Speaker 2: Let's go to the tiles. I mean there is no low.
45:36
Speaker 2: They won't prosecute on many issues in this campaign, but
45:40
Speaker 2: I have to say this is a new low even
45:43
Speaker 2: for them. This is Sophie's scamps. She's holding the seat
45:47
Speaker 2: that Bromwin Bishop used to hold on the New South
45:50
Speaker 2: Wales sorry on the Northern Beaches area just outside of Sydney.
45:55
Speaker 2: She politicized the tragic death of a young Manly Sea
45:58
Speaker 2: Eagles rugby player suggest the climate change was responsible for
46:03
Speaker 2: his death. I tell you what if I was a
46:05
Speaker 2: veteran Mackela James, I turf her out over this response
46:09
Speaker 2: and family are very upset.
46:14
Speaker 18: I want your viewers to go and find the nearest
46:17
Speaker 18: gutter and have a look in it, because that's where
46:19
Speaker 18: the Teal candidate or the Teal MP will be standing
46:22
Speaker 18: in it. And in particular, the doctor Scamps has really
46:28
Speaker 18: lowered the standard in this election campaign. She's promised to
46:32
Speaker 18: be all the light, but she's all the darkness. She
46:35
Speaker 18: hasn't apologized to this player's family, she hasn't apologized for
46:38
Speaker 18: bringing politics in to the death, to the tragic death
46:41
Speaker 18: of this player. Instead, she's doubled down and still said
46:45
Speaker 18: that climate change is behind the death. This is a disgrace.
46:49
Speaker 18: She should apologize to his family, and she should apologize
46:52
Speaker 18: to the wider sporting community for the games that she
46:56
Speaker 18: is playing.
46:59
Speaker 2: And let's be honest here, if we were really wanting
47:01
Speaker 2: to have a conversation about energy and climate change and
47:04
Speaker 2: all the things that matter in this campaign, would actually
47:06
Speaker 2: be looking at Spain at the moment, wouldn't we? Jared?
47:08
Speaker 2: Because they've had a nationwide blackout. Not a clear example
47:12
Speaker 2: what's happened, but speculation is at the moment that it's
47:15
Speaker 2: to do with some sort of overload of the solar
47:19
Speaker 2: power system, like too much solar power into the grid.
47:22
Speaker 2: But I'll tell you what, without power, it shows just
47:24
Speaker 2: how fundamental it is to modern life. They're in a
47:27
Speaker 2: lot of trouble.
47:31
Speaker 16: There is.
47:31
Speaker 7: And this is something I think is really important. Regardless
47:33
Speaker 7: of what actually triggered the trip, the fact is that
47:36
Speaker 7: energy grids are extremely delicate. They operate on a frequency
47:39
Speaker 7: that if there's any sudden changes, the whole thing can
47:42
Speaker 7: collapse in just a moment. And this is why this
47:44
Speaker 7: blackout spread not only across Spain but across the Iberian Peninsula. Now,
47:48
Speaker 7: to sort of mediate this challenge, you need a inertia
47:51
Speaker 7: in your grid, and this is usually provided by big
47:53
Speaker 7: spinning things that can act as a bit of a
47:55
Speaker 7: shock absorber when you have these changes in frequency. Now,
47:58
Speaker 7: our cop fi power plans that gas turbines do that,
48:01
Speaker 7: nuclear power stations do that, solar panels and wind turbines cannot.
48:05
Speaker 7: And on this day when Spain's grid tripped, it was
48:08
Speaker 7: operating at seventy percent renewable capacity. And this is what
48:12
Speaker 7: Australia is headed for. If we continue to decommission our coal,
48:15
Speaker 7: if we wind back our gas, if we don't adopt nuclear,
48:17
Speaker 7: and we do go for this renewables battery only grid,
48:20
Speaker 7: we won't have the inertia and we'll be at the
48:23
Speaker 7: exact same risk that Spain.
48:24
Speaker 11: Is it.
48:27
Speaker 2: Just quickly, James, and just about out of time. But
48:28
Speaker 2: I know you know campaigns. How does it feel on
48:31
Speaker 2: the ground in Queensland.
48:35
Speaker 18: The feeling's pretty good in seats like Ryan and in Brisbane.
48:40
Speaker 18: Here it is a knife fight on a knife s edge.
48:43
Speaker 18: We're fighting against Labor and the Greens. I've been up
48:46
Speaker 18: to Kens a few times and like that. It's another
48:48
Speaker 18: type for another tough fight. But it is all to
48:50
Speaker 18: play for and the mood is very positive at the moment,
48:53
Speaker 18: very very positive. Get out there and vote.
48:55
Speaker 2: Thank you, Get out and vote, but don't vote twice
48:59
Speaker 2: like Labor to you to do. Lave it there. Thanks Gentz.
49:01
Speaker 2: I'll see tomorrow night. Enter Bold Stixt
