- 0:00Speaker 1: Late Welcome to the Late Debase. Good evening and welcome
- 0:08Speaker 1: to the program. I'm Caleb Bond with Liz Storer and
- 0:10Speaker 1: Joe Hildebrand. Well, look, I am not renowned for my
- 0:14Speaker 1: exercise regimen, but I have decided maybe I need to
- 0:17Speaker 1: take it up because the Guardian has come up with
- 0:20Speaker 1: the best reason ever to exercise. Apparently it turns your
- 0:23Speaker 1: right wing. We'll tell you a little bit more about
- 0:25Speaker 1: that later in the show. The Chinese premiere is also
- 0:28Speaker 1: on his way to Adelaide with a gift. We'll tell
- 0:31Speaker 1: you what it is when we get into the papers.
- 0:33Speaker 1: And how long does it take to solve homelessness?
- 0:36Speaker 2: We have found the answer.
- 0:38Speaker 1: But first you would think if someone commissioned you to
- 0:42Speaker 1: build a toilet block, it would be pretty straightforward. You know,
- 0:46Speaker 1: I've got to get the cistern and put it in
- 0:48Speaker 1: the right place. So I've got to get the sink
- 0:51Speaker 1: and put it in the right place. It probably needs
- 0:53Speaker 1: a few walls, a door on the front. All seems
- 0:57Speaker 1: pretty straightforward. Well, no, that's not a case. If you
- 1:00Speaker 1: go to Allenby Garden's Reserve in Adelaide to a toilet
- 1:04Speaker 1: that was put up by Charles Sturt Council. Now, this toilet,
- 1:08Speaker 1: by the way, has apparently been in place for years,
- 1:11Speaker 1: but it's only just come to the attention of the
- 1:13Speaker 1: locals that the doors on the cubicles look a bit
- 1:17Speaker 1: like this. Hey, look at this photo here of the
- 1:20Speaker 1: cubicle door on the front of this toilet. It is
- 1:24Speaker 1: entirely true. That is a woman in the toilet about
- 1:28Speaker 1: to do her business, and well anyone walking past could
- 1:32Speaker 1: notice it.
- 1:32Speaker 3: Now, congrats on getting the though.
- 1:36Speaker 1: Yeah. Look, I had to go and investigate for myself.
- 1:38Speaker 1: You know where it's really important stuff right now. Apparently
- 1:41Speaker 1: the council actually did some work on this toilet block
- 1:44Speaker 1: recently because it was vandalized, and even at that point
- 1:48Speaker 1: none of the council workers bother to look at it
- 1:50Speaker 1: and go hang on, that is a mesh door on
- 1:53Speaker 1: the front of the toilet. Now that the locals have
- 1:57Speaker 1: realized what's going on, they are outraged.
- 2:01Speaker 4: I think it's a bringin freeman upon someone's privacy.
- 2:04Speaker 1: It should refixate half.
- 2:06Speaker 4: I come here all the time with my three children
- 2:08Speaker 4: and I wouldn't feel comfortable sending them to the toilet here.
- 2:10Speaker 1: I think it.
- 2:11Speaker 4: Scares me more as there is a playground like behind us,
- 2:14Speaker 4: and knowing that there's kids who are vulnerable.
- 2:18Speaker 1: If you want something to be done badly given to
- 2:21Speaker 1: a council. I can only imagine that the meeting between
- 2:25Speaker 1: the CEO and whoever designed this thing, when they worked
- 2:28Speaker 1: it out recently, when something.
- 2:30Speaker 5: Like this, I'm familiar with the event itself. Mister Wilson.
- 2:36Speaker 5: What I'm trying to ascertain is are you absolutely sure
- 2:38Speaker 5: that the two hundred meters track is two hundred meters long?
- 2:41Speaker 5: It is because it's half the four hundred meters track,
- 2:44Speaker 5: which is four hundred meters long.
- 2:45Speaker 3: That's right.
- 2:46Speaker 6: The two hundred meters is half the four hundred meters.
- 2:48Speaker 1: You can measure it.
- 2:48Speaker 5: Ye, no, no, no, no, But the four hundred meters track
- 2:51Speaker 5: is exactly four hundred meters long, is it?
- 2:53Speaker 7: That's right?
- 2:53Speaker 5: So the two hundred meters track is exactly two hundred
- 2:56Speaker 5: meters long, of course, But what you're telling me is
- 2:58Speaker 5: that the one hundred meters track is a one hundred meters.
- 3:01Speaker 6: Long slightly different arrangement?
- 3:05Speaker 5: Is a meter a slightly different concept?
- 3:07Speaker 8: Is it?
- 3:07Speaker 5: In one hundred against two? Well, I don't understand, mister
- 3:10Speaker 5: Wilson quite why in the construction of a one hundred
- 3:13Speaker 5: meters track, you would want to depart too radically from
- 3:15Speaker 5: the constraints laid down for us by the conventional calibration
- 3:18Speaker 5: of distance.
- 3:21Speaker 1: The brilliance of John Clark on the Games, and one
- 3:24Speaker 1: wonders Joe why you would want to depart too radically
- 3:27Speaker 1: from the concept of a I don't know, not a
- 3:29Speaker 1: door that you can see through on the front of
- 3:32Speaker 1: a toilet Cuba.
- 3:33Speaker 3: I just love everything about this story. I love firstly
- 3:36Speaker 3: the quote that kind of almost tells you everything and
- 3:40Speaker 3: nothing at the same time, which is where local resident
- 3:43Speaker 3: Felicity Graham tells seven years these doors have apparently been
- 3:47Speaker 3: here for years and no one thought it was an issue.
- 3:51Speaker 3: So I don't know. I don't know how you could
- 3:54Speaker 3: have I could see that, like would there be a
- 3:57Speaker 3: thing like I can almost imagine like the you know,
- 4:00Speaker 3: the council Child Safety commissioners saying, oh, no, we can't
- 4:03Speaker 3: possibly it's a playground nearby. We have to make sure
- 4:06Speaker 3: that children can be seen at all times, including on
- 4:09Speaker 3: the toilet, which is kind of creepy. But there are many,
- 4:14Speaker 3: many things. Firstly, one excuse from council has been that
- 4:17Speaker 3: it was response to focus groups where ratepayers were demanding
- 4:21Speaker 3: more transparency. But I find that with these sorts of issues, Caleb,
- 4:29Speaker 3: I know you have problems with counsels not taking responsibility
- 4:33Speaker 3: for their decisions, and I think this is happening in
- 4:35Speaker 3: this time because no matter what happens, no matter you know,
- 4:38Speaker 3: what's gone wrong, there never seems to be anyone who's
- 4:41Speaker 3: actually personally at fault. They always just blame the system.
- 4:44Speaker 1: Oh so, how many more can we get into? I'm
- 4:47Speaker 1: going to actually, but it's the fact that it took
- 4:50Speaker 1: so long for anyone to notice. But you've got to
- 4:53Speaker 1: wonder when a council commissions something to be built, surely
- 4:58Speaker 1: someone brings a design to them, right, And how at
- 5:01Speaker 1: the point of the design coming to them did no
- 5:03Speaker 1: one go hang on the doors a see through? Then
- 5:06Speaker 1: from that point forward, how did no one go hang
- 5:09Speaker 1: on the doors a see through. Either this is the
- 5:11Speaker 1: least used toilet block in the history of man, in
- 5:13Speaker 1: which case just knock it over, or the people of
- 5:15Speaker 1: Allenbe Gardens are a bunch of pervs and they didn't
- 5:17Speaker 1: mind the fact it was see through.
- 5:19Speaker 6: What's going on?
- 5:20Speaker 4: Well, obviously no one can believe it took them this
- 5:23Speaker 4: long to be like, Ah, toilet doors are see through.
- 5:25Speaker 4: That's actually a euphemism I've used for something that's really useless.
- 5:30Speaker 4: This is as useless as a glass door and a
- 5:33Speaker 4: toilet cubi gold. It's supposed to be funny. Okay, you're
- 5:38Speaker 4: not supposed to actually run with it.
- 5:41Speaker 6: It's good grief. Also, it looks like some sort of caging.
- 5:44Speaker 3: Yeah, it actually looks like the world's high indore looks
- 5:47Speaker 3: like the world's least secure juvenile detention center, completely.
- 5:51Speaker 4: Perforated, so you can't do anything in your cell that
- 5:54Speaker 4: everybody else isn't privy to.
- 5:56Speaker 6: I mean, this is just so noticeable and yet it's
- 5:59Speaker 6: been there.
- 6:00Speaker 1: And you just saw the inside of it. That's from
- 6:03Speaker 1: inside the cubicle. So you're sitting there taking a dumb
- 6:06Speaker 1: or whatever, and you go, hang on a minute, I
- 6:08Speaker 1: can see the outside wall.
- 6:10Speaker 4: About these things, because in some toilet cubicles it's just
- 6:13Speaker 4: the gap in the door, like.
- 6:15Speaker 6: It can be really tiny. But if they're flimsily made,
- 6:18Speaker 6: you can be in the cubicle going hang on a minute.
- 6:21Speaker 4: If I can see you, you can see me through
- 6:24Speaker 4: this tiny crack that is clearly big enough for us
- 6:27Speaker 4: to make icontract.
- 6:28Speaker 1: You had one job. I mean, if a council can't
- 6:30Speaker 1: even build a toilet block properly, what can we trust
- 6:33Speaker 1: them with millions and millions of dollars in ratepayers money
- 6:37Speaker 1: and they can't even build toilets properly.
- 6:39Speaker 3: Well, I'm sure they could at least build a park, Caleb,
- 6:41Speaker 3: because they don't even have to build a park. It's
- 6:43Speaker 3: just there. You just have to do nothing.
- 6:45Speaker 6: It's just that.
- 6:46Speaker 3: It's a beautiful part when.
- 6:47Speaker 4: You're given forty million real government thank you.
- 6:51Speaker 3: For coming to my segue. Yes, and you say that
- 6:53Speaker 3: Labor Government has ordered Hornsby Shire Council to repay thirty
- 6:58Speaker 3: six million dollars from a controversial grants fund for which
- 7:03Speaker 3: it built a park that never was. It's the money.
- 7:08Speaker 1: It means they didn't kill the park.
- 7:10Speaker 3: It's a bit it's a bit like it's a bit
- 7:11Speaker 3: like Jerry Seinfeld and the reservation. They took the money,
- 7:15Speaker 3: they took the resumes, they took the money to build
- 7:17Speaker 3: the park, but they just didn't build the park. So
- 7:19Speaker 3: they got the job half right, but just didn't fire through.
- 7:22Speaker 3: This is, of course Hornsby Shire Council, which I think
- 7:26Speaker 3: is the mayor the local mayor's Philip Roddicker used to
- 7:28Speaker 3: be the grand old There you go, the former flo
- 7:32Speaker 3: If you're watching, not too late to get it done.
- 7:34Speaker 3: I reckon, if you get that park built by sun up,
- 7:37Speaker 3: maybe they'll.
- 7:37Speaker 1: Let you pay you and I could go with a
- 7:38Speaker 1: backup and do it.
- 7:39Speaker 3: But yes, the Stronger Community's Grant Fund is set up
- 7:41Speaker 3: in twenty seventeen to support councils that were forced to merge,
- 7:45Speaker 3: and but ninety six percent of grants were awarded to
- 7:48Speaker 3: councils in liberal and national seats.
- 7:52Speaker 4: Can't be right, Marilyn Coalition would never.
- 7:57Speaker 3: Sit the Flabor Party would never do something like this.
- 8:00Speaker 6: Back in twenty eighteen, we're gonna build a park. We're
- 8:03Speaker 6: gonna build a park.
- 8:04Speaker 4: Here's a mock up of what that park was supposed
- 8:07Speaker 4: to look like. What rate payers were, well taxpayers, I
- 8:10Speaker 4: should say, we're supposed to be getting for forty million dollars.
- 8:15Speaker 4: And here's what they have six years later.
- 8:20Speaker 1: Fantastic, some unknown grass.
- 8:22Speaker 4: As far as I'm concerned that I's just as beautiful.
- 8:24Speaker 4: But listen, hornsby what are they hornsby Shire Council. If
- 8:30Speaker 4: you were smarter, you would have spent the money quicker. Yeah, notably,
- 8:37Speaker 4: this is a former council as I do I do
- 8:40Speaker 4: you get a grant, you spend the grants, Okay, no
- 8:44Speaker 4: mucking around. So now the federal government is like, can
- 8:47Speaker 4: you give our money back? Because not only was there
- 8:48Speaker 4: the whole pork barreling thing going on, but you haven't
- 8:51Speaker 4: spent it and there's no park and the Shire can't
- 8:55Speaker 4: justify to the federal government, Oh it's properly underway. No
- 8:59Speaker 4: it's not even underway. So they want a refund. They've
- 9:03Speaker 4: obviously spent four million of it lawn plans and whatever,
- 9:06Speaker 4: but they're like, we want the other thirty six million back.
- 9:10Speaker 3: Couldn't they have said we were going for more of
- 9:11Speaker 3: a sort of Christine natural industrial backwater. This is what
- 9:16Speaker 3: we had a mine all the long. And look there
- 9:17Speaker 3: are no sea through toilet doors.
- 9:19Speaker 1: No no no no no no no no. They should have
- 9:21Speaker 1: built the sea through toilet and then they could have
- 9:22Speaker 1: actually shown that they've made an effort to do something
- 9:25Speaker 1: on that piece of land. I mean again, it's just
- 9:27Speaker 1: another example of how maddening all of this is. And
- 9:30Speaker 1: we did a story last night Shoe on the Sunday Showdown,
- 9:33Speaker 1: great show, watch it every Sunday since well you never missed.
- 9:37Speaker 1: You can watch these two great fellas, Sir Joe. And
- 9:39Speaker 1: that's right, every Sunday. But I did this story last
- 9:42Speaker 1: night about a fifth of councils in Victoria in this
- 9:46Speaker 1: council term have either been sacked by the state government
- 9:50Speaker 1: or they've had a state government monitor put in charge
- 9:53Speaker 1: of them just to make sure they don't go off
- 9:54Speaker 1: the edge because they're that badly behaved. They can't build
- 9:59Speaker 1: toilets properly, they can't build parks when they're given forty
- 10:02Speaker 1: million dollars in order to do so. They get sacked
- 10:05Speaker 1: because they can't even get through a meeting. As I
- 10:08Speaker 1: said last night, just abolish councils. All the powers councils
- 10:13Speaker 1: have come from the state government, just absorbed all but
- 10:17Speaker 1: to the state.
- 10:18Speaker 4: Although whenever they do a local government who actually runs
- 10:21Speaker 4: does rate it.
- 10:22Speaker 3: I know that that's it. They absolutely should, and I
- 10:24Speaker 3: have no problem that whatsoever. But strangely, when they do
- 10:27Speaker 3: surveys of people usually come back they say, no, we
- 10:30Speaker 3: want to get rid of state governments and keep local
- 10:32Speaker 3: and federal, which is that would be just even worse.
- 10:34Speaker 3: But my favorite part we never got to it last night.
- 10:37Speaker 3: My favorite part of those councils who were just absolutely
- 10:40Speaker 3: useless was Deriban Council in Melbourne, which is just the
- 10:44Speaker 3: most dysfunctional lefty council you can possibly imagine, apart from
- 10:47Speaker 3: maybe the city of Yarra itself. And there was this
- 10:50Speaker 3: amazing exchange that council's chamber where one council is complaining
- 10:55Speaker 3: to the acting mayor said we didn't I'll let you
- 10:58Speaker 3: acting mayor just so you could be a dictator and
- 11:01Speaker 3: the acting there are said back tough, but they don't
- 11:06Speaker 3: even deny they're a dictator, Like isn't that It's like
- 11:10Speaker 3: they waited it elect you, you know, read it elect
- 11:12Speaker 3: your policeman to find out you're a sexophone. And I said, well, surprise,
- 11:17Speaker 3: do you want to be there?
- 11:18Speaker 6: Like why else? One election?
- 11:21Speaker 1: Don't?
- 11:22Speaker 6: Then you might not be.
- 11:25Speaker 1: They have your moment in the sun. I mean, you're
- 11:26Speaker 1: not good enough to make it to the real deals
- 11:29Speaker 1: date or federal politics. So you can just pile right here, mate. Okay,
- 11:35Speaker 1: one exception over here. But you know, seriously, the number
- 11:38Speaker 1: of people who end up on councils who just are
- 11:41Speaker 1: there because I don't know, they get angry about the
- 11:43Speaker 1: toilet block on the corner, which you know, in the
- 11:45Speaker 1: case of Adelaide, was actually legitimate. But you know, they
- 11:47Speaker 1: get elected on such small issues like the street needs
- 11:52Speaker 1: a pothole fixed in it or something, and then they
- 11:54Speaker 1: get there and they fix the problem and they go, oh,
- 11:57Speaker 1: good god, what do I do for the next feet?
- 12:00Speaker 4: It does attract a weird demographic, which is what does
- 12:04Speaker 4: You've got the looney, the lonely, and the ambitious. You
- 12:07Speaker 4: look at the lay party of any party and that's
- 12:09Speaker 4: who you've got. And then you look at Parliament, which
- 12:12Speaker 4: is just an extended version you know.
- 12:14Speaker 6: What I'm talking about.
- 12:15Speaker 3: But that's true. There are two types of people. There
- 12:17Speaker 3: are ambitious, bloodless politicians and people who write letters to
- 12:21Speaker 3: newspapers and that's it. It's like I'm writing to you
- 12:25Speaker 3: about the.
- 12:25Speaker 1: Stop side on Warren or a parade.
- 12:28Speaker 3: It's been there. And then you've got the people who
- 12:31Speaker 3: are like, you know, Mark Latham, It's like I'll kill
- 12:33Speaker 3: everyone who gets in my way. He did not, actually,
- 12:36Speaker 3: so you're not actually killing You're not. Definitely a few
- 12:41Speaker 3: good sort.
- 12:42Speaker 6: Of hip and shoulders working for a state MPs. I
- 12:47Speaker 6: felt like half my job.
- 12:48Speaker 4: Was telling all these people who write in about these issues,
- 12:51Speaker 4: that's a local government issue.
- 12:53Speaker 6: That's a local government issue.
- 12:54Speaker 4: And I'll never forget speaking to one lady who was
- 12:57Speaker 4: so convinced that I was yanking her chain and there
- 13:00Speaker 4: was no other kind of government. And I'm like, had
- 13:03Speaker 4: to literally try and explain to where the three tiers
- 13:05Speaker 4: of government and how they work, and how her fence
- 13:08Speaker 4: issue was actually not a matter for the state government.
- 13:12Speaker 4: But let's get to Europe because in a.
- 13:15Speaker 6: Win for the almost four hundred and.
- 13:16Speaker 4: Fifty million people living in the European Union, the leftist
- 13:23Speaker 4: cesspool that has been European Parliament for a very long
- 13:27Speaker 4: time has been drained in this year's European elections. Every
- 13:33Speaker 4: five years they get a chance to drain that swamp.
- 13:36Speaker 6: And this year, gosh did they deliver.
- 13:39Speaker 4: Now, if you watch any mainstream media, they're saying the
- 13:43Speaker 4: far right.
- 13:44Speaker 7: The far right parties I've taken.
- 13:46Speaker 4: Over, or maybe just mainstream values one out because if
- 13:51Speaker 4: they're that popular, then they must be mainstream.
- 13:56Speaker 6: So bad was the blood letting or good? If you
- 13:59Speaker 6: still ending where I am?
- 14:01Speaker 4: That Belgian's Prime minister wasted no time resigning in tears
- 14:19Speaker 4: the world's smallest violin place by globalist scum. And then
- 14:25Speaker 4: of course there was President French President Emmanuel Macron, who
- 14:29Speaker 4: again the results were so devastating he knew that, Okay,
- 14:34Speaker 4: the French people are telling me, I am on the nose.
- 14:38Speaker 6: He's called a snap election.
- 14:42Speaker 9: Demagogue's and nationalists on the rises. Bad for our nation's
- 14:45Speaker 9: bad for Europe, and it is bad for the place
- 14:48Speaker 9: of France in Europe and in the world. Yes, far right,
- 14:53Speaker 9: it's bad for the French people and for the French nation.
- 14:58Speaker 9: At the end of the day, you not able to
- 15:00Speaker 9: just pretend nothing.
- 15:04Speaker 4: The far right are bad, but the vast majority of
- 15:07Speaker 4: you clearly want it. Because Lepen's Conservative party has given
- 15:12Speaker 4: that man a hiding he will never forget. And while
- 15:16Speaker 4: he was dissolving parliament and calling a snap election due
- 15:20Speaker 4: to take place next month, France was celebrating, as was Germany,
- 15:39Speaker 4: as their af D party, known as the right wing
- 15:43Speaker 4: party in the country, also was elected to the European
- 15:46Speaker 4: Parliament five year.
- 15:56Speaker 6: And then there was Ireland, the rowdiest bunch of the lot.
- 16:12Speaker 4: And here is that newly elected member Malache speaking to
- 16:16Speaker 4: the press. One message in.
- 16:19Speaker 7: Euview, does your election.
- 16:23Speaker 3: And a very clear message that.
- 16:25Speaker 1: The revolution has been worn.
- 16:31Speaker 6: What a win for the European Union.
- 16:34Speaker 4: Check out as quick summary of this blood letting France,
- 16:38Speaker 4: the National Rally wins. Germany, the AfD party surgers. Belgium,
- 16:43Speaker 4: PM's gone Maloney's brother of Italy wins. You'll recall that
- 16:48Speaker 4: she is best known as a staunch conservative. Austria, the
- 16:53Speaker 4: FPO becomes the largest party in the country. Spain, the
- 16:58Speaker 4: right was bidding the left by ten percent, sent in
- 17:00Speaker 4: the end they won by more than that.
- 17:03Speaker 6: And Luxembourg first.
- 17:04Speaker 4: Ever seat for the ad R, which is also known
- 17:09Speaker 4: as a Luso right wing party because that's.
- 17:12Speaker 6: What they try to convince everybody else that mainstream values
- 17:16Speaker 6: are now. I just love this. I just love this.
- 17:20Speaker 4: Four hundred and fifty million people go to the polls
- 17:23Speaker 4: once every five years, but we've never seen a European Union.
- 17:27Speaker 6: Election like this.
- 17:29Speaker 1: I love that you've come in read tonight to signify
- 17:31Speaker 1: the bad leading and read in my ties.
- 17:35Speaker 7: Revolution to.
- 17:39Speaker 1: Get the joke out of the way. First, when I
- 17:41Speaker 1: first heard about the AfD Party, I thought I'd never
- 17:43Speaker 1: vote for them because AfD stands for alcohol free days,
- 17:45Speaker 1: and that would never appeal to me. But it is
- 17:48Speaker 1: so good to see. I want to use the term
- 17:52Speaker 1: uprising because people think, oh, you know, you're coming to
- 17:54Speaker 1: take the place direction. It was not a storm. People
- 17:59Speaker 1: exercise their democratic vote to say we're not happy with
- 18:03Speaker 1: the way that Europe and for that matter, that the
- 18:06Speaker 1: rest of the world is going, and we're going to
- 18:08Speaker 1: do something about it. This is a movement that has
- 18:11Speaker 1: been on the move for quite some time now. You've
- 18:14Speaker 1: seen it move through domestic politics in Europe, through various
- 18:18Speaker 1: different countries, and Maloney's a great example of it in
- 18:20Speaker 1: Italy and being elected as Prime Minister. You've got no
- 18:23Speaker 1: doubt it will happen in France as well. And it's
- 18:26Speaker 1: curious that mccron has decided to go at this point
- 18:29Speaker 1: because they only had an election in twenty twenty two.
- 18:32Speaker 6: Now he hadn't.
- 18:35Speaker 1: He could just hang on and use the power he's
- 18:38Speaker 1: got while he's got it. But he's realized things are
- 18:40Speaker 1: so bad that he's like, I got to get out
- 18:42Speaker 1: of here because it's going to be really bad if
- 18:44Speaker 1: I don't do something now, almost to try and arrest
- 18:47Speaker 1: the loss that may come later. But this is a
- 18:50Speaker 1: great thing for Europe. It's people sticking the two fingers up,
- 18:54Speaker 1: much like they did when UK left Europe through Brexit,
- 18:57Speaker 1: and saying we don't like it, how about you have
- 19:00Speaker 1: a go.
- 19:01Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't figure out what the hell. Curious is
- 19:04Speaker 3: not the sea word I would have used to describe
- 19:05Speaker 3: Emmanual Macron's decision. I cannot figure out what the crazy.
- 19:09Speaker 3: By the way, well that's what I would or Humphrey
- 19:14Speaker 3: Applevie would say. Correct. But this seems to me insane,
- 19:20Speaker 3: and it seems to me the action of someone who,
- 19:24Speaker 3: if there's any rationality to it whatsoever, it would be
- 19:28Speaker 3: the action of someone who's thinking, what, it's bad now,
- 19:30Speaker 3: but it's only going to get worse, so I better.
- 19:33Speaker 3: But that seems to me to be pretty insane, because surely,
- 19:35Speaker 3: as you say, you'd stick it out and try to
- 19:38Speaker 3: make it better. Other than that, you can only imagine
- 19:42Speaker 3: that it's the reaction of someone who is in this
- 19:46Speaker 3: sort of elitist bubble who thinks that everyone thinks it's
- 19:50Speaker 3: this terrible thing that all these far right parties have
- 19:53Speaker 3: got this surge of popularity. Therefore we must call it
- 19:56Speaker 3: election straight away, so all the normal people who think
- 19:58Speaker 3: exactly like me can come out to the ballot box
- 20:01Speaker 3: and show them that they're in the minority and that
- 20:03Speaker 3: they're dangerous, and that you know that people of France
- 20:06Speaker 3: won't tolerate their extremist ideologies. And isn't that how you
- 20:08Speaker 3: get Brexit presently?
- 20:11Speaker 1: Hey, you get Donald Frans.
- 20:12Speaker 3: Isn't that how you get the voice vote going down?
- 20:15Speaker 6: How's your pitch in in?
- 20:17Speaker 4: You saw them just there staring down the barrel saying,
- 20:20Speaker 4: you know, we're going to the polls France, but in
- 20:24Speaker 4: that very announcement saying how bad the far right are?
- 20:27Speaker 4: I mean, the vast majority of your country mate just
- 20:33Speaker 4: voted for the Penn's Conservative Party, so lost words, dead words?
- 20:39Speaker 4: Why are you trying to now basically insult the vast
- 20:44Speaker 4: majority of French chees who said we don't want you anymore?
- 20:49Speaker 4: And noticeably, one of the things that every single one
- 20:52Speaker 4: of these winning far right parties had in common was
- 20:58Speaker 4: cutting down on im aggraation. We have not seen anything
- 21:03Speaker 4: here in Australia like Europe has been seeing for a
- 21:07Speaker 4: very long time, with illegal aliens changing the face of
- 21:11Speaker 4: their countries forever, and the natives are absolutely sick of it.
- 21:18Speaker 4: These parties stood very staunchly against immigration and they stood
- 21:22Speaker 4: very staunchly.
- 21:23Speaker 6: Against the Islamization of their countries.
- 21:26Speaker 4: A lot of their catch cries is Ireland for the Irish,
- 21:31Speaker 4: and so on and so forth. They all have this
- 21:34Speaker 4: catchphase because that is what is resonating with people who
- 21:38Speaker 4: are sick to death of seeing their taxpayer dollars squandered
- 21:42Speaker 4: on people who aren't even legally in their country, seeing
- 21:45Speaker 4: the healthcare system and other systems burdened by again just
- 21:49Speaker 4: a massive influx of people, seeing a rise of crime
- 21:54Speaker 4: on their streets. And this is very noticeable in France,
- 21:57Speaker 4: which I think is another reason why I'm one has
- 22:00Speaker 4: just gone I can't fix what I've broken.
- 22:03Speaker 6: I'm just bowing out early.
- 22:05Speaker 1: And I despise this characterization of it all as far right.
- 22:10Speaker 4: And indeed, which is why I say, at what point
- 22:13Speaker 4: you're just going to say its.
- 22:14Speaker 1: Main stream that the idea, the idea of saying fair
- 22:17Speaker 1: idea is to denigrate it right, And they take phrases
- 22:21Speaker 1: like Ireland for the Irish and then suggest that that
- 22:23Speaker 1: means that you have to be white to be Irish. Well, no,
- 22:25Speaker 1: there's lots of Irish citizens who are.
- 22:27Speaker 3: Not white, and at iris Iris on Irish do not
- 22:34Speaker 3: have a strong history of multiculturalism in the order problem.
- 22:37Speaker 1: If you have Irish heritage in your blood, you are
- 22:40Speaker 1: probably whiter than most of us. But you don't have
- 22:43Speaker 1: to be white in order to be Irish. It's simply
- 22:45Speaker 1: saying the people who are here and who are citizens
- 22:47Speaker 1: want to keep this country for them. And I was
- 22:50Speaker 1: listening this morning, as I sometimes do because you've got
- 22:52Speaker 1: to keep in touch with the enemy every now and again,
- 22:55Speaker 1: to ABC News Radio and they were interviewing a bloke
- 23:00Speaker 1: over in Europe about all of this, and he kept
- 23:02Speaker 1: characterizing these parties as far right, and then he was
- 23:06Speaker 1: talking about how, you know, the Green parties had a
- 23:09Speaker 1: low turnout. Okay, okay, So if you believe in low immigration,
- 23:14Speaker 1: you're far right, but if you believe in home well,
- 23:17Speaker 1: you're simply a Green party. And this is what they
- 23:20Speaker 1: do with the language far right is meant to denigrate.
- 23:23Speaker 1: Green is very lovely. We care about the environment, but
- 23:26Speaker 1: it's much like the Greens here in Australia. They're not green,
- 23:29Speaker 1: they're watermelons. They're green on the outside and read on
- 23:32Speaker 1: the inside. That is what people have stood up against.
- 23:34Speaker 3: I think it's a mistake to even think about or
- 23:37Speaker 3: you know, bandy accusations about the parties themselves or the
- 23:41Speaker 3: people leading them. That's the mistake that the Democrats keep
- 23:44Speaker 3: making over and over and over again with Trump, keep
- 23:46Speaker 3: going after Trump his character, what he's done, what he
- 23:49Speaker 3: hasn't done, which PAULN. Starr has or hasn't paid off,
- 23:52Speaker 3: you know, whatever he's said caught on camera, and they're
- 23:55Speaker 3: not looking at the reasons why people who you would
- 23:58Speaker 3: not characterize as far right, and indeed people who had
- 24:01Speaker 3: been in America's case, voting Democrat. And obviously you know
- 24:05Speaker 3: here you've got, for example, the so called far right
- 24:08Speaker 3: party in France is expected to get about thirty bit
- 24:11Speaker 3: over thirty percent of the vote at the election, if
- 24:13Speaker 3: the polls are right. Now that's double Emmanuel mccron's party,
- 24:17Speaker 3: you suggest it. So, whether or not it's a majority
- 24:20Speaker 3: of French people, it's certainly more than it's certainly more
- 24:24Speaker 3: French people than Macron himself speaks for. So clearly these
- 24:27Speaker 3: guys do not have their finger on the pulse. They
- 24:28Speaker 3: are not recognizing it's again, it's exactly the same thing
- 24:31Speaker 3: that happened in England with Brexit, where you had in
- 24:36Speaker 3: the north, working class traditional labor voters all voting for Brexit,
- 24:40Speaker 3: and London is completely blindsided by it because of course
- 24:43Speaker 3: everyone they knew at all their cool little hip bars
- 24:45Speaker 3: that they went to, was appalled by the idea of Brexit,
- 24:47Speaker 3: and indeed David Cameron promised it, assuming that promised it,
- 24:51Speaker 3: believing and assuming that it would get absolutely smashed. And
- 24:55Speaker 3: again I think the same mistakes were made in the
- 24:57Speaker 3: Voice referendum here as well. It's like, of course everyone
- 25:00Speaker 3: supports it. I don't know anyone who doesn't support it,
- 25:02Speaker 3: and sure enough it only takes a good sort of
- 25:04Speaker 3: negative campaign and suddenly you're harnessing all this dispossession. And
- 25:08Speaker 3: I don't think it's a matter of racism. I think
- 25:13Speaker 3: what people don't like is the idea of losing control.
- 25:17Speaker 3: So it's not necessarily even the levels of immigration themselves
- 25:21Speaker 3: or what they might worry about, losing their jobs to
- 25:24Speaker 3: someone from coming in from another country or whatever, But
- 25:27Speaker 3: it's more that we've lost control of our borders, that
- 25:30Speaker 3: you know, you're no longer Another thing people forget is
- 25:32Speaker 3: that people who are less rich and less afflient, and
- 25:38Speaker 3: less secure in their own personal kind of authority or
- 25:44Speaker 3: standing or wealth or prestige in the community. They care
- 25:48Speaker 3: very very much about things that they identify with, and
- 25:50Speaker 3: that might be their nationality, that, you know, the country
- 25:53Speaker 3: that live, in their football team, whatever it is. You
- 25:55Speaker 3: denigrate that sort of stuff. And there's so many examples
- 25:57Speaker 3: of people looking down their nose at that you'll basically
- 25:59Speaker 3: tell that person you're nothing, because you're telling the person
- 26:02Speaker 3: who's proud to be Australian or proud to be English,
- 26:05Speaker 3: or proud that you know acid Villa one or whatever
- 26:07Speaker 3: it is, that you know, they're just stupid, their knuckle draggers,
- 26:10Speaker 3: and they should be off, you know, like going to
- 26:12Speaker 3: Yale and studying climate communications.
- 26:15Speaker 10: And then they become disenfranchised, and then they become disenfranchised,
- 26:18Speaker 10: and then they these people see all these elites, see
- 26:20Speaker 10: all these people who are having these meetings using words
- 26:22Speaker 10: they don't understand because the communications is terrible in a
- 26:25Speaker 10: sort of senate left center right consensus, that they're not
- 26:28Speaker 10: bothering to explain to the great unwash because they wouldn't
- 26:30Speaker 10: understand anyway.
- 26:31Speaker 3: And then when some unlike la pen or Trump or
- 26:34Speaker 3: Boris or whoever it is, comes along and says things
- 26:37Speaker 3: that are often very simplistic sometimes downright wrong. Nonetheless, these
- 26:41Speaker 3: people say, well, hang on a minute. At least I
- 26:43Speaker 3: can understand you, at least I know what you're saying,
- 26:45Speaker 3: and at least you're promising to do something for me.
- 26:48Speaker 1: I don't know. We can say pin saying things are
- 26:50Speaker 1: the downright wrong on one particular side.
- 26:52Speaker 3: Well in brexit that things in Brexit that was saying
- 26:54Speaker 3: things are absolutely it's clearly completely wrong.
- 26:57Speaker 4: I think it's also a little bit simpler than that
- 26:59Speaker 4: as well. People are You don't have to have several
- 27:03Speaker 4: degrees to be like you've trashed my country. Okay, I've
- 27:08Speaker 4: lived here for long enough to remember that ten years
- 27:12Speaker 4: ago we didn't have crime rates like this. Our streets
- 27:15Speaker 4: were clean, homeless weren't lining city streets, et cetera, et cetera,
- 27:21Speaker 4: and so on. You've got people there who are old
- 27:24Speaker 4: enough to just go the demographic the crime rates so
- 27:28Speaker 4: much has changed for the negative.
- 27:31Speaker 6: You guys can go jump. So it doesn't.
- 27:34Speaker 4: Necessarily come down to all my senses of identity or anything.
- 27:37Speaker 6: It's more just like, look around you, this is bad.
- 27:42Speaker 6: We need someone to fix it. These guys are strong leaders.
- 27:45Speaker 6: You've had your chance, you blew it. We're going in
- 27:47Speaker 6: the other doors.
- 27:48Speaker 1: It shows that people power does work. Take heart, you
- 27:52Speaker 1: can fight against the system. Is proof of it. Let's
- 27:56Speaker 1: hope we get some good outcomes out of it. While
- 27:58Speaker 1: we're on the topic of immigration, you might remember last
- 28:01Speaker 1: week Joe Biden sent down this I was going to
- 28:05Speaker 1: say prime ministerial, but thank god, they don't have a
- 28:08Speaker 1: prime minister and a president in the United States. They've
- 28:10Speaker 1: only got a president who can't think for himself. Anyway.
- 28:12Speaker 1: He sent down a direction that most asylum seekers should
- 28:15Speaker 1: be banned. Almost legal immigrant should be banned from claiming
- 28:18Speaker 1: asylum in the United States. And that all lasted for
- 28:22Speaker 1: about five minutes, because now we have seen an internal
- 28:25Speaker 1: memo from the Border Patrol in San Diego which basically
- 28:29Speaker 1: says most of these people should be let in the
- 28:32Speaker 1: country anyway. According to this memo, adults single adults from
- 28:37Speaker 1: all but six countries in the Eastern Hemisphere are to
- 28:40Speaker 1: be declared as hard or very hard to remove, which
- 28:44Speaker 1: means we simply let them go. The only countries that
- 28:49Speaker 1: they have said people should not be allowed to claim
- 28:52Speaker 1: asylum in the US is Russia, Georgia, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Moldova,
- 28:58Speaker 1: and Kurdistan, every one else. It's too hard. We can't
- 29:02Speaker 1: do anything about it. We can't send them back in
- 29:04Speaker 1: you come. So it didn't even last five minutes, the
- 29:07Speaker 1: idea that these people wouldn't be allowed into the country,
- 29:09Speaker 1: and you kind of got to scratch your head and
- 29:12Speaker 1: go okay. So Joe Biden's got an election coming up
- 29:15Speaker 1: later this year. He knows that immigration, illegal immigration is
- 29:19Speaker 1: a big problem for him. He's got Donald Trump, who's
- 29:23Speaker 1: running on this, ran on it last time, actually shut
- 29:26Speaker 1: the border, which Biden.
- 29:27Speaker 6: Has got to build a wall.
- 29:31Speaker 1: And Biden for the last few months has been umming
- 29:33Speaker 1: and ahring about whether or not he has the power
- 29:36Speaker 1: to issue an edict to close the border. Now, maybe
- 29:41Speaker 1: we need to do it legislatively because I don't know
- 29:43Speaker 1: if I can do it unilaterally, which is all rubbish
- 29:46Speaker 1: because Trump did it before and then he unwound it
- 29:49Speaker 1: unilaterally when he came to power. So he goes, Okay,
- 29:52Speaker 1: I'm going to do something about it. I'm going to
- 29:53Speaker 1: send the edict down. We're going to close the border,
- 29:55Speaker 1: but then very quietly, through another little piece over here,
- 29:59Speaker 1: we're actually just gonna leave it open because we want
- 30:01Speaker 1: all the people in here in the hopes that one
- 30:02Speaker 1: day they'll become citizens and then they'll vote for Yeah.
- 30:04Speaker 6: It was a turtle pr exercise.
- 30:07Speaker 4: He knows this is a big issue and so he
- 30:09Speaker 4: wants to look like he's doing something. But who would
- 30:12Speaker 4: trust him anyway. This is a man who is let
- 30:15Speaker 4: in excess of ten million illegal aliens pour over the border.
- 30:21Speaker 4: Not only that, he's been caught out flying them in,
- 30:26Speaker 4: literally flying.
- 30:27Speaker 6: Them almost like if we get those stories.
- 30:30Speaker 4: We've played footage on this program before of him getting
- 30:33Speaker 4: the border guards to cut the barbed wire to let
- 30:38Speaker 4: people through into America. This has always been an invasion
- 30:43Speaker 4: by design. There is absolutely no other explanation for it.
- 30:48Speaker 4: And the hilarious thing is those six countries Cable had
- 30:52Speaker 4: just rattled off.
- 30:53Speaker 6: They already know that's not where these people are coming from,
- 30:56Speaker 6: because you.
- 30:57Speaker 3: Can watch the Projuico Stard thread is real.
- 31:00Speaker 6: I'm telling the border and ask them where are you from?
- 31:04Speaker 6: Where are you from? Where are you from? We already
- 31:06Speaker 6: know where they're coming from.
- 31:08Speaker 4: It's certainly none of those guys, which means it's businesses.
- 31:12Speaker 3: But I don't think this is not a pool factor. Well,
- 31:14Speaker 3: there's a poor factory in terms of everyone wants to
- 31:16Speaker 3: go to the US, or go to the UK, or
- 31:18Speaker 3: go to Australia because we're awesome. Countries are not as
- 31:20Speaker 3: racist as everyone keeps telling us we are. They're a
- 31:22Speaker 3: huge amount. There's there is there is not a there
- 31:25Speaker 3: is not a deliberate there's not a deliberate strategy for
- 31:28Speaker 3: there's no secret conspiracy for there's no great replacement theory.
- 31:32Speaker 3: There's no secret conspiracy for the Democrats.
- 31:34Speaker 4: You literally do not know that. Explain that to the
- 31:39Speaker 4: taxpayers you've got you.
- 31:41Speaker 3: Have got huge numbers that you have got huge numbers
- 31:44Speaker 3: of pet people from South and I know that.
- 31:47Speaker 4: I know that people who don't even can't truly just
- 31:54Speaker 4: clogging all the city.
- 31:56Speaker 3: But yet that's right, and they are a political headache
- 31:59Speaker 3: for the Democrats. Whould know they about the problem is.
- 32:03Speaker 4: The only way the problem was into the country was
- 32:06Speaker 4: because they were ferried in by the Democrats.
- 32:11Speaker 3: The vast majority.
- 32:12Speaker 6: You can argue that this wasn't deliberate.
- 32:16Speaker 3: Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of thousands and millions and
- 32:19Speaker 3: millions and millions of asylum seekers who were streaming up
- 32:21Speaker 3: from South America through.
- 32:22Speaker 6: This never happened under all the administration no, that's.
- 32:25Speaker 3: Right because the borders of process being soft and so
- 32:28Speaker 3: like they're doing in Australia.
- 32:30Speaker 4: Everybody, let's go soft due to this government saying come one,
- 32:35Speaker 4: come all Australia.
- 32:42Speaker 5: Things.
- 32:43Speaker 1: It is as simple as when Trump was president, he
- 32:47Speaker 1: closed the border. He did it through memorandum, he did
- 32:50Speaker 1: it through edict. The border was closed. One of the
- 32:54Speaker 1: first things Joe Biden did when he became president was
- 32:58Speaker 1: under all all of those orders and open the ball.
- 33:02Speaker 3: Because that's because that's what happens. Because the Left went
- 33:04Speaker 3: in opposition. It forgets all the hard lessons of learning
- 33:06Speaker 3: government think, oh, no, we have to be humanitarian. Oh
- 33:09Speaker 3: we're terribly.
- 33:09Speaker 6: Privileged, trying to make this innocent. Ten million illegal aliens
- 33:17Speaker 6: in a.
- 33:17Speaker 4: Subservatives a conspiracy over the company theory. You're staring the
- 33:25Speaker 4: facts in the face and saying, oh, this is just
- 33:27Speaker 4: because they didn't want to be perceived as me.
- 33:31Speaker 3: Are you kidding your Have you ever met a lefty?
- 33:33Speaker 6: Have you seen the districe? That's what they're like in
- 33:35Speaker 6: terms of crime rates.
- 33:37Speaker 1: I know, I know, I'm not.
- 33:38Speaker 3: Saying it's good.
- 33:39Speaker 6: I believe in I believe in hard waters American cities.
- 33:42Speaker 3: I believe These are the sort of people who keep
- 33:44Speaker 3: destroying the Labor Party in opposition and keeps threatening to
- 33:46Speaker 3: destroy every time.
- 33:47Speaker 1: They're arguing that.
- 33:48Speaker 6: There's no nefarious motive this government just happened to them. No, no,
- 33:52Speaker 6: there's not.
- 33:52Speaker 3: There's no secret plot from the deep state, there's no
- 33:55Speaker 3: secret plot from the ale Pacer. We need more voters
- 33:58Speaker 3: in twenty.
- 33:58Speaker 6: Years of ridiculous.
- 34:00Speaker 3: God, these guys can't even plan a bloody piece up
- 34:02Speaker 3: in a brewery. They're not gas. We had another boat
- 34:09Speaker 3: wote of asylum sea days. I've got a branch meeting
- 34:11Speaker 3: down in South.
- 34:12Speaker 1: They have managed to allow the reopening of the border,
- 34:15Speaker 1: and we are today seeing exactly what that has done.
- 34:18Speaker 1: It's not a mistake that the border was opened, nor
- 34:21Speaker 1: is the fact that it has remained open for the
- 34:23Speaker 1: last three years or so, coming on to four years.
- 34:27Speaker 1: But now, if you were watching that then and thinking,
- 34:30Speaker 1: oh my god, I'm actually feeling a bit like I'm
- 34:32Speaker 1: sympathetic for Joe Biden, I have the answer for you.
- 34:37Speaker 1: Go down to the gym tomorrow morning and start working out,
- 34:41Speaker 1: Because would you believe a columnist over at the Guardian
- 34:44Speaker 1: where else but the Guardian, which of course the Australian
- 34:46Speaker 1: version that our friend Paul Murray likes to call the
- 34:48Speaker 1: Turnbull Times has written a column saying that getting fit
- 34:52Speaker 1: is great, as you can see there on the screen,
- 34:53Speaker 1: but it could.
- 34:54Speaker 6: Turn you into a right wing joke.
- 34:56Speaker 1: Oh no, Zoey Williams wrote in The Guardian quote there's
- 35:00Speaker 1: a dark side to wellness which I always for shorthand
- 35:04Speaker 1: thought of as political. Getting fit makes you more right wing?
- 35:09Speaker 4: Don't durn dun now.
- 35:11Speaker 1: What Zoe is essentially saying is that when you go
- 35:15Speaker 1: and get fit, you actually start to feel good about yourself,
- 35:18Speaker 1: and then you become a bit more self righteous, and
- 35:21Speaker 1: then you look at other people around you and you go, hang.
- 35:24Speaker 2: On, you're complaining about your diabetes, and you can plaining
- 35:26Speaker 2: about this, and you complaining about that.
- 35:28Speaker 1: Why don't you just do what I did, which is
- 35:31Speaker 1: pull myself up by my bootstraps and get on with
- 35:33Speaker 1: the job and get myself fit. Who knew that the
- 35:37Speaker 1: only thing you had to do was to be a
- 35:39Speaker 1: right winger was just go down to the gym. Now
- 35:41Speaker 1: I don't know what that says about me, because I've
- 35:43Speaker 1: never been to a gym in my life and the
- 35:44Speaker 1: only exercise I really do apart from the odd walk
- 35:47Speaker 1: is to pick up a wine glass and sort of
- 35:49Speaker 1: move it towards my mouth, So that's good for my
- 35:52Speaker 1: arm exercises. I don't think it's made me left winger,
- 35:54Speaker 1: but I mean, can you imagine you pick up the paper,
- 35:57Speaker 1: Oh God, I go to the gym. I must be
- 35:59Speaker 1: a right winger.
- 36:00Speaker 4: I don't think any right ringer would be stupid enough
- 36:03Speaker 4: to a read the Guardian or be believe this stupid article.
- 36:06Speaker 4: But the fact that with a consistent fitness routine you
- 36:10Speaker 4: will become self righteous and judgmental.
- 36:13Speaker 6: And that's her idea of right winger, am I the lady.
- 36:16Speaker 6: We don't have to work out.
- 36:18Speaker 4: To be self righteous and judgmental. We just have cold,
- 36:21Speaker 4: hard facts on our side.
- 36:22Speaker 6: It's called reality, and so that does instill in people
- 36:26Speaker 6: a certain confidence when we're fighting.
- 36:28Speaker 4: You lot which are just full of feelings, much like
- 36:31Speaker 4: this completely unbased rubbish you've spewed out in your article.
- 36:36Speaker 4: Thanks for nothing, Zoe, and enjoy at the gym.
- 36:39Speaker 1: Also.
- 36:41Speaker 3: A little bit judgmental and self right.
- 36:46Speaker 6: This also does explain the physical fitness of a lot
- 36:52Speaker 6: of lefties.
- 36:53Speaker 3: Oh it certainly does not. I've bet them and I
- 36:55Speaker 3: can tell you two fittest premiers in Australia Chris Min's Petermelelawscus,
- 37:00Speaker 3: both from the New South Wales right go.
- 37:02Speaker 1: To and look even for a lifter, you're pretty spelt yourself,
- 37:05Speaker 1: I have to say. Anyway, we'll get into the papers
- 37:08Speaker 1: after the break. The Chinese premieer is bringing something with
- 37:11Speaker 1: him to Adelaide. Now you might be worrying and Adelaide,
- 37:13Speaker 1: what is it? What's he going to do? Is he's
- 37:14Speaker 1: bringing the Huawei phones. It's a little bit until you
- 37:17Speaker 1: happen this. Let's get stuck into the papers where Joe
- 37:24Speaker 1: Tomorrow the Courier Mail has a fantastic.
- 37:26Speaker 3: Yes and thank you so much team for giving me
- 37:29Speaker 3: the first cup off the rank. Tonight in the Courier,
- 37:31Speaker 3: marlets Dick's Big Freeze and just as the reverse kicker
- 37:37Speaker 3: up the top explains exclusive sweeteners for all, I'm not
- 37:43Speaker 3: sure I want to ever see the words sweeteners and freeze. Look,
- 37:51Speaker 3: it's probably headline.
- 37:52Speaker 1: Every every man at home now is like clenching his
- 37:55Speaker 1: legs together very tightly. But I mean it's great because
- 37:59Speaker 1: a new you know, working in newspapers like I have.
- 38:02Speaker 1: If you're walking through the shops tomorrow and you see
- 38:07Speaker 1: emblazoned on the front of the paper Dick's Big Freeze.
- 38:10Speaker 1: You're gonna pick the paper up, aren't you?
- 38:13Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes you are, Caleb. What you then do
- 38:16Speaker 3: with it, I think is another great headline. It's an
- 38:20Speaker 3: absolute crack up. Well, unfortunately Dick's Big Freeze doesn't result
- 38:24Speaker 3: in any shrinkage because they're throwing more money than they
- 38:29Speaker 3: know what to do with at this upcoming Queensland state election.
- 38:32Speaker 3: A freeze on every government fee and charge for the
- 38:36Speaker 3: coming year will be a pre ingredient and a budget
- 38:39Speaker 3: that will have five a billion dollars worth of voter
- 38:43Speaker 3: sweeteners baked in. See what I did there, sweeteners baked
- 38:48Speaker 3: in well, but also the fees and charges frozen, hence
- 38:54Speaker 3: the Big Freeze. This has got everything. This has got
- 38:56Speaker 3: the stovetop, the ovan, the freezer, the eye cream afterwards.
- 39:01Speaker 3: This is a three course meal with entrey, mains and
- 39:04Speaker 3: dessert and story.
- 39:06Speaker 1: You know what the dessert is, right, spotted Dick. But
- 39:10Speaker 1: they had the Big Freeze down in Melbourne today at
- 39:12Speaker 1: the MC they did the King's Birthday match. But you
- 39:16Speaker 1: know they are so devoid of anything real in Queensland
- 39:21Speaker 1: because they know that they're stuffed in terms of youth
- 39:23Speaker 1: crime and whatever that they're simply going right. We are
- 39:26Speaker 1: going to throw the kitchen sink, by which they mean
- 39:29Speaker 1: the purse at this to try and win this election.
- 39:31Speaker 1: They have nothing other than throwing money around because they've failed.
- 39:38Speaker 3: I hate to correct it, but it's not just youth crime.
- 39:41Speaker 3: They also have middle aged crime. This is the second
- 39:45Speaker 3: story in the career. I attacked in a car park.
- 39:47Speaker 3: An astounding incident of car park rage at a Gold
- 39:50Speaker 3: Coast school has left a grandmother hospitalized with a head
- 39:53Speaker 3: injury and a broken leg after she was allegedly attacked
- 39:58Speaker 3: by a forty three year old vetor. What is going
- 40:01Speaker 3: on in Queensland?
- 40:03Speaker 4: So she opened her car door, It dinged, the car
- 40:07Speaker 4: next to it, knits the car next to it, as
- 40:09Speaker 4: happens sometimes it's a windy do this guy, assuming it
- 40:15Speaker 4: was a guy, must have just lost it at her.
- 40:18Speaker 4: But a head injury and a broken leg, my goodness,
- 40:22Speaker 4: to the front page.
- 40:23Speaker 6: Of the Canberra Times.
- 40:24Speaker 4: Now panic buying fares as eggs sales limit impose. Shoppers
- 40:30Speaker 4: have been urged not to panic buy eggs after a
- 40:32Speaker 4: mounting bird flu outbreak prompted a supermarket giant to introduce
- 40:37Speaker 4: limits on egg purchases, so Cohal's customers in every state
- 40:42Speaker 4: and territory except wa can now only buy a maximum
- 40:46Speaker 4: of two egg cartons.
- 40:48Speaker 6: What I can't believe when we do have there's a
- 40:52Speaker 6: bird flu or.
- 40:53Speaker 4: Something else like foot and mouth disease, whatever, whatever the way,
- 40:58Speaker 4: the government stuffs it up so hard and makes life
- 41:03Speaker 4: impossible for the little guy. Check out this beautiful letter
- 41:07Speaker 4: written by Wes Eggs, which is one of the egg
- 41:10Speaker 4: farms in Victoria now affected by this. They basically say, look,
- 41:15Speaker 4: we've had this restriction placed on us. None of our
- 41:17Speaker 4: eggs can leave our farm, and this is our income.
- 41:23Speaker 6: We've still got staff to pay, We've still got.
- 41:25Speaker 4: A family to feed, We've still got chickens to feed,
- 41:29Speaker 4: a business to run, and our other financial commitments. Our
- 41:34Speaker 4: egg income is our only income. We don't know when
- 41:38Speaker 4: these restrictions will be lifted. We don't have the Abian
- 41:42Speaker 4: bird flu, but we're still living under these restrictions. Seriously,
- 41:48Speaker 4: you can't set up some sort of testing system where
- 41:51Speaker 4: they can still sell their eggs. But these these suppliers
- 41:55Speaker 4: are the ones that say calls will worth other ones
- 41:58Speaker 4: that test them the eggs system. Whereby or seriously, are
- 42:02Speaker 4: you just shutting down every egg farm in Victoria because
- 42:06Speaker 4: you've found a few cases like this? Does my head
- 42:10Speaker 4: in before exactly this kind of thing sees businesses hit
- 42:16Speaker 4: the wall, never to come back, and sometimes then the
- 42:19Speaker 4: government will be like, oh, well, let's spend tax payer
- 42:22Speaker 4: money getting you back off the ground. But for small
- 42:25Speaker 4: businesses like West Eggs, it doesn't mean that you can
- 42:28Speaker 4: get your clientele back, and your entire livelihood has just
- 42:32Speaker 4: been pieced up a wall by a government who couldn't
- 42:36Speaker 4: think of anything smarter than just be like, everyone laying
- 42:39Speaker 4: eggs in the country, you can't sell your eggs anymore,
- 42:43Speaker 4: Like what.
- 42:43Speaker 5: Is wrong with you?
- 42:45Speaker 3: I don't think it's the farmers who are actually laying
- 42:47Speaker 3: the eggs, but.
- 42:48Speaker 1: Yes, that's absolutely right, they would be laying exactly here.
- 42:52Speaker 3: And again even for not just businesses, but even for consumers.
- 42:55Speaker 3: You think, oh, there's an egg shortage, our eggs are
- 42:57Speaker 3: running out. I can handle that. But wait till you
- 43:00Speaker 3: combine it with this story that I dug up, because
- 43:04Speaker 3: did you know there's also a bacon shortage?
- 43:09Speaker 1: There was in twenty twelve, according to them.
- 43:11Speaker 3: Okay, you got me on the let's train there. But
- 43:15Speaker 3: if those two k was there was a bacon shortage,
- 43:17Speaker 3: it would be.
- 43:18Speaker 1: It would be a very sad day.
- 43:20Speaker 6: Was it due to the government shutting down?
- 43:24Speaker 1: They will They probably shut on this stand, they'll shut everything. Look,
- 43:30Speaker 1: you know governments build toilets with sea three doors on them,
- 43:33Speaker 1: and they shut down each arms.
- 43:35Speaker 3: Let's blame and is.
- 43:36Speaker 1: If there's any great way to get people to panic by,
- 43:38Speaker 1: it's to tell them not to panic by. I thought
- 43:41Speaker 1: for all this before we know how it went with
- 43:44Speaker 1: toilet paper. I can't wait for the fights in the
- 43:46Speaker 1: supermarkets over the eggs. Let's go to the advertiser tomorrow.
- 43:50Speaker 1: Of course it does note on the front page the
- 43:53Speaker 1: death of former South Australian premiere turned senator turned federal
- 43:56Speaker 1: MP Steel Hall, but it says on the left inside
- 44:01Speaker 1: Ji's right hand man to visit South Australia. Chinese Premier
- 44:05Speaker 1: Li Jiang, second in command to President Jijingping, is expected
- 44:09Speaker 1: to visit Adelaide this month and deliver good news about
- 44:12Speaker 1: Adelaide Zoo's giant pandas. And the good news is that
- 44:16Speaker 1: he's apparently going to announce the Wang Wang and Funi,
- 44:19Speaker 1: which are the two pandas that are there at the moment,
- 44:22Speaker 1: and they're the only ones in the giant in the
- 44:24Speaker 1: Giant hemis with the Southern Hemisphere, the only giant panas
- 44:26Speaker 1: in the Southern Hemisphere are.
- 44:28Speaker 2: Going to be replaced by a new yah, which is
- 44:31Speaker 2: great because Wang Wang and Funi have failed to do
- 44:34Speaker 2: the deed the whole time they've been there and breed,
- 44:36Speaker 2: which is what they really wanted.
- 44:38Speaker 1: And now it finally makes sense.
- 44:40Speaker 2: When the Prime Minister went to China and he talked
- 44:44Speaker 2: to Jijing Ping, and they asked him, what did you
- 44:45Speaker 2: talk about?
- 44:46Speaker 6: This is what he said.
- 44:49Speaker 7: He spoke about the Tasmanian devils as being cute animals
- 44:53Speaker 7: in Australia. They're probably not as cute as pandas, and
- 44:58Speaker 7: I relayed the disc I think we had at a
- 45:01Speaker 7: press conference yesterday about about pandas. It reminded us of
- 45:07Speaker 7: the fact that not all pandas are cute by relaying
- 45:11Speaker 7: the Kung Fu panda story as well.
- 45:16Speaker 1: Finally, it wasn't all for naught, Joe.
- 45:18Speaker 3: It's amazing. Do you think the reason that not all
- 45:21Speaker 3: pandas are cute is why Funi and Wang Wang didn't. Didn't. Sorry,
- 45:25Speaker 3: it's not you, it's me. Something something wrong with my
- 45:30Speaker 3: wang wang. I just can't.
- 45:32Speaker 1: He didn't think that joke was very FUNI to be
- 45:35Speaker 1: perfectly honest, but.
- 45:38Speaker 6: It's not getting funnier.
- 45:40Speaker 3: But we can leave. You have to stay here. You're
- 45:43Speaker 3: going to be here next week. My reputation can take this.
- 45:48Speaker 1: Well, this is true, but I think you've got to
- 45:49Speaker 1: come back very quickly. We've only got thirty seconds to
- 45:51Speaker 1: the break, Liz, but you.
- 45:52Speaker 2: Know, good news.
- 45:53Speaker 1: We're going to get some pandas. If only they could
- 45:55Speaker 1: sort out some you know, real issues with China.
- 45:57Speaker 4: While you're heat, that would be marvelous, which is what
- 46:00Speaker 4: made that presses so funny.
- 46:01Speaker 6: Upon his return to China and we're like, did you
- 46:05Speaker 6: sort him out? Did you talk Turkey?
- 46:07Speaker 4: Maybe about the tariffs or something, And he's like, we
- 46:10Speaker 4: talked about our respective country's furry animal.
- 46:14Speaker 1: We didn't talk turkey. We talked Pannda. One thing that
- 46:16Speaker 1: can be sorted out, apparently is homelessness. But how long
- 46:19Speaker 1: does it take you?
- 46:20Speaker 6: You'll find out after the front.
- 46:25Speaker 1: Now, look, I'm very sorry. Before the break, I promised
- 46:28Speaker 1: you a story about homelessness, but it turns out that
- 46:30Speaker 1: the grab we wanted to show you has gone missing.
- 46:33Speaker 1: It is homeless itself. So we've brought you the second
- 46:35Speaker 1: best thing, which is a Trump speech.
- 46:37Speaker 3: Do you lie and you know it, Caleb. We did
- 46:40Speaker 3: it because we found the greatest ever speech ever given
- 46:42Speaker 3: by any human being ever. This is Donald Trump at
- 46:45Speaker 3: a rally in Las Vegas, for no apparent reason whatsoever,
- 46:49Speaker 3: talking about what would happen if a submarine was attacked
- 46:51Speaker 3: by a shark?
- 46:52Speaker 8: Have a look, So I said, let me ask you
- 46:55Speaker 8: a question, and he said, nobody ever asked this question,
- 46:58Speaker 8: and most because of my relationship to Mit.
- 47:02Speaker 6: Very smart.
- 47:03Speaker 8: He goes, I say, what would happen if the boat
- 47:06Speaker 8: sank from its weight and you're in the boat and
- 47:09Speaker 8: you have this tremendously powerful battery, and the battery is
- 47:13Speaker 8: now underwater, and there's a shark that's approximately ten yards
- 47:18Speaker 8: over there by the way. A lot of shark attacks lately.
- 47:20Speaker 6: Do you notice that a lot of shark which some.
- 47:23Speaker 8: Guys justifying it today, Well, they weren't really that angry.
- 47:26Speaker 8: They bit off the young lady's leg because of the
- 47:28Speaker 8: fact that they were they were not hungry, but they
- 47:32Speaker 8: misunderstood what who she was? He said, there's no problem
- 47:36Speaker 8: with sharks. They just didn't really understand a young woman swimming.
- 47:40Speaker 8: Now it really got decimated.
- 47:41Speaker 4: In other.
- 47:44Speaker 8: So, there's a shark ten yards away from the boat
- 47:47Speaker 8: ten yards or here? Do I get electrocuted? If the
- 47:52Speaker 8: boat is sinking? Water goes over the battery, the boat
- 47:54Speaker 8: is sinking, Do I stay on top of the boat
- 47:57Speaker 8: and get electrocuted? Or do I jump over the shark
- 48:00Speaker 8: and not get electrocuted? Because I will tell you he
- 48:02Speaker 8: didn't know. The entry said, you know, nobody's ever answered
- 48:05Speaker 8: me that question. I said, I think it's a good question.
- 48:08Speaker 8: I think there's a lot of electric current coming through
- 48:10Speaker 8: that water. But you know what i'd do if there
- 48:12Speaker 8: was a shark or you get electrocuted. I'll take electrocution
- 48:15Speaker 8: every single time.
- 48:18Speaker 3: Yes, yes, I love that man so much, it's amazing.
- 48:23Speaker 3: So I presented with the idea of an electric bart said.
- 48:26Speaker 3: I said, all right, well, what if there's a shot coming,
- 48:29Speaker 3: I've got the battery. But even then, because he as
- 48:33Speaker 3: a thinker, as a thinking about lockmay he knows that
- 48:36Speaker 3: even an electric bat that's sinking is preferable to a shark.
- 48:41Speaker 4: Is not a question, because if there's that electric current
- 48:43Speaker 4: in the water.
- 48:44Speaker 6: I would just wait till the shark go just be
- 48:48Speaker 6: like electric jaws.
- 48:50Speaker 5: Just down with me.
- 48:53Speaker 1: If we're going to go down, you imagine take this shock.
- 48:55Speaker 6: What do you need TV?
- 48:57Speaker 1: This? This is what I've always seen, the shot. We
- 49:00Speaker 1: belong in the water too. The sharks should all be killed.
- 49:04Speaker 1: I don't want them in the water. They keep eating
- 49:07Speaker 1: the human beings. I don't care if you come for me.
- 49:10Speaker 1: We're number one for a reason. Sharks bugger off anyway.
- 49:13Speaker 1: Let's sit from us tonight. The sharks are about to
- 49:16Speaker 1: write it and Comflain up makes the ridd of panic
- 49:18Speaker 1: show goodness
