- 0:00Speaker 1: Late Welcome to the Late Base. Good evening, Welcome to
- 0:07Speaker 1: the program. I'm Caleb Bond with Frey Leech and Holly Hughes.
- 0:10Speaker 1: Here's what's coming up tonight. A teacher is fighting a
- 0:13Speaker 1: Catholic school in court for the right to be recognized
- 0:15Speaker 1: as non binary. Make his pronouns they them, and change
- 0:19Speaker 1: his honorific from mister to muck's MX whatever that means
- 0:24Speaker 1: in the papers. Meanwhile, the Daily Telegraph has the number
- 0:27Speaker 1: of people who've officially changed the agenda on their birth
- 0:29Speaker 1: certificates in New South Wales since the law came in
- 0:32Speaker 1: three months ago. And swooping season is upon us and
- 0:35Speaker 1: some people are taking creative measures, shall we say, to
- 0:38Speaker 1: avoid fighting with birds. Will show you some of that later,
- 0:42Speaker 1: but first I want to start with a good news
- 0:44Speaker 1: story tonight. Yes, I know I'm not going to complain
- 0:47Speaker 1: about something for once. They'll probably find a way to
- 0:49Speaker 1: do it. But we'll get there. Down in South Australia
- 0:52Speaker 1: and you would have just seen Paul Bere showing you
- 0:54Speaker 1: the Premier of South Australia, Peter Malanowskas. He's a sensible
- 0:58Speaker 1: guy and one of the first things he did when
- 1:00Speaker 1: he became Premier a few years ago was to say
- 1:02Speaker 1: we should bring back technical colleges. Once upon a time
- 1:06Speaker 1: these were commonplace across Australia. When you got to high school,
- 1:10Speaker 1: you either went to an academic high school or you
- 1:12Speaker 1: went to a technical high school. If you were good
- 1:14Speaker 1: at doing things with your hands and wanted to go
- 1:17Speaker 1: on to do a trade, you went to a technical
- 1:18Speaker 1: high school. And at some point along the way we
- 1:21Speaker 1: got rid of them all. So Peter Malinowska said, I
- 1:24Speaker 1: think we should bring them back. So he's been building
- 1:26Speaker 1: five of these in South Australia. One at least is
- 1:30Speaker 1: already up and running the building, one at Mayolma Mana
- 1:32Speaker 1: actually the high school in Montbury Heights. But one of
- 1:35Speaker 1: them is up and running at find and Finden Technical
- 1:38Speaker 1: College and the Advertiser. One of their reporters, I write
- 1:42Speaker 1: for the TiSER. I'm sure you know. One of their reporters,
- 1:45Speaker 1: Shashi Baltutis, went down to find and Technical College to
- 1:50Speaker 1: check it out. And the report he came back with,
- 1:52Speaker 1: I tell you what, it actually fills me with a
- 1:56Speaker 1: level of hope for the future. Take a look.
- 2:00Speaker 2: They love how flexible the school is with you know,
- 2:02Speaker 2: allowing me to make projects and create things that I
- 2:05Speaker 2: really love and am passionate about. Last Friday, I was
- 2:08Speaker 2: finishing up the frame for a mini motorbike that I
- 2:11Speaker 2: was making.
- 2:12Speaker 3: I'm setting my SIRT through in early childhood education in
- 2:15Speaker 3: care and I really like going to work in my childcare.
- 2:19Speaker 3: This week I just said up an experience for the
- 2:21Speaker 3: children at work.
- 2:23Speaker 4: Something interesting that I did this week was having afternoon
- 2:28Speaker 4: to you with he care residents and just talking to them.
- 2:33Speaker 1: Great, we need more of this. And by the way,
- 2:36Speaker 1: if you're going into a job that requires you to
- 2:38Speaker 1: go to UNI, like age care or nursing or that
- 2:40Speaker 1: kind of thing, you can get a fast track into
- 2:43Speaker 1: UNI early so you start doing your first year of
- 2:45Speaker 1: university while you are in year twelve. This is brilliant, Like,
- 2:50Speaker 1: we should just roll this out across the country. It's
- 2:52Speaker 1: not a new idea. It used to exist and it
- 2:56Speaker 1: should be.
- 2:56Speaker 5: It gives me hope for the country.
- 2:58Speaker 6: And honestly, after seeing Malanio's just talk about the Narrowbright
- 3:02Speaker 6: gas project and we said it last night, this guy's
- 3:05Speaker 6: going to be there.
- 3:05Speaker 5: As long as he wants to be.
- 3:06Speaker 6: If this is the kind of sensible stuff he's prepared
- 3:09Speaker 6: to do.
- 3:10Speaker 5: And I think this is just it.
- 3:12Speaker 6: Actually just brings me joy that the kids are going
- 3:16Speaker 6: and enjoying learning and learning what's going to help them
- 3:20Speaker 6: thrive in the workplace. And it's not only the technical
- 3:23Speaker 6: skills that they're learning, like that the kid that was
- 3:25Speaker 6: talking about building a mini motorbike, but it's how do
- 3:28Speaker 6: you present yourself at work?
- 3:29Speaker 5: How do you turn up on time?
- 3:31Speaker 6: How do you engage with colleagues who are at the
- 3:33Speaker 6: whole range of age groups. You know, there's guys that
- 3:37Speaker 6: they're working with there who used to be in the
- 3:40Speaker 6: in the car production.
- 3:41Speaker 5: Line who are now working with them in the colleges.
- 3:44Speaker 5: I just love this.
- 3:45Speaker 6: I think it is a good story and more and
- 3:47Speaker 6: more kids should be looking at going down this path.
- 3:49Speaker 4: And you're right, it did used to be quite common.
- 3:52Speaker 4: And actually Howard brought back technical skills in two thousand
- 3:56Speaker 4: and five and I think he set up around twenty
- 3:59Speaker 4: five and Kevin Rudd cut the funding to them.
- 4:02Speaker 7: And actually, interestingly.
- 4:04Speaker 4: Before the last election, Peter Dutton said he would bring
- 4:07Speaker 4: back technical schools as an answer to Labour's free tape
- 4:12Speaker 4: because that's their whole thing. It's let's just spray money
- 4:15Speaker 4: at this stuff, give people free things. But a much
- 4:19Speaker 4: better approach is let's give kids, high school kids hands
- 4:22Speaker 4: on education. But unfortunately we know the outcome of that election,
- 4:26Speaker 4: but it was interesting because Susan Lee was the Shadow
- 4:30Speaker 4: Minister for Skills who put that policy forward. So hopefully
- 4:33Speaker 4: Coalition take notes, we'll bring that technical skill.
- 4:37Speaker 6: It's all written and costed and there bring it back
- 4:40Speaker 6: because it's a good one.
- 4:41Speaker 1: And I think the reason I like this so much
- 4:45Speaker 1: is that it goes against what has been happening for
- 4:47Speaker 1: decades now, which has been the degradation of trades and apprenticeships.
- 4:53Speaker 1: And you go and talk to the building industry or anyone,
- 4:56Speaker 1: and they'll say, like it is a struggle to get
- 4:59Speaker 1: a print they cost too much these days, but to
- 5:03Speaker 1: struggle to get the numbers and they need people. We
- 5:06Speaker 1: know we need to build houses. We know you need plumbers,
- 5:09Speaker 1: and you need sparkys and you need chippies. These are
- 5:12Speaker 1: jobs that are never going to go away. And we
- 5:15Speaker 1: have so many kids now I fear, who go through
- 5:18Speaker 1: school and are basically told that they have to go
- 5:21Speaker 1: to university. There's almost an expectation it's an extension of
- 5:24Speaker 1: your schooling. So they go off to UNI, they do
- 5:27Speaker 1: a degree for four years that cost them a lot
- 5:30Speaker 1: of money that they have to pay back through hecks.
- 5:32Speaker 1: They're unlikely to get a job in the field that
- 5:34Speaker 1: they've studied, so it was all just a great waste
- 5:37Speaker 1: of time that's not added anything to their life and
- 5:39Speaker 1: has not added anything to society. They may get halfway
- 5:43Speaker 1: through a degree and then you know, fail and then
- 5:46Speaker 1: go oh, well that was it was a waste of time,
- 5:48Speaker 1: et cetera, when they could have come straight out of
- 5:50Speaker 1: school and gone into an apprenticeship and had a job
- 5:54Speaker 1: in earning money from the start. You know, we talk
- 5:56Speaker 1: about AI is going to take people's jobs away, you know,
- 5:59Speaker 1: the sort of jobs that aren't going to be under threat,
- 6:02Speaker 1: chippies and sparkys and plumbers and you know, if you
- 6:06Speaker 1: need your septic tank emptied on Christmas Day, it's not
- 6:10Speaker 1: going to be an AI bot that does it for you.
- 6:12Speaker 1: It's going to be someone who charges you a heck
- 6:14Speaker 1: of a lot of money. These are the jobs of
- 6:17Speaker 1: the future in some way, because they're the ones that
- 6:19Speaker 1: you cannot take away.
- 6:20Speaker 7: From people exactly.
- 6:21Speaker 4: And I think the reason these technical skill schools are
- 6:24Speaker 4: so brilliant is because they open students' minds to that
- 6:28Speaker 4: as a possible career pathway going through school.
- 6:32Speaker 7: There was maybe a grand.
- 6:34Speaker 4: Total of ten minutes of discussion on alternative routes other
- 6:37Speaker 4: than university, and of course that would depend on different schools.
- 6:41Speaker 4: But you know, you are so pushed down the university
- 6:44Speaker 4: track and the trades route or anything that's more hands
- 6:48Speaker 4: on is actually disparaged. And it's like, well, if you
- 6:51Speaker 4: don't get the marks to get into UNI, then you
- 6:54Speaker 4: can go do that. And people underestimate how lucrative these
- 6:57Speaker 4: roles are.
- 6:58Speaker 7: This is a great career. You can build your own business.
- 7:01Speaker 4: Our country would not function without amazing trades people.
- 7:04Speaker 7: So I love these technical skills.
- 7:06Speaker 6: Well, I mean I also what I like about it
- 7:08Speaker 6: is the kids start earning money, yes, early, correct, And
- 7:13Speaker 6: the question has been raised, at what stage should your
- 7:18Speaker 6: teenager young adult start paying board.
- 7:22Speaker 5: We're seeing more and more grown up kids.
- 7:26Speaker 6: Are staying in the family home, and we know, you know,
- 7:28Speaker 6: it's expensive to rent, it's expensive to buy, so a
- 7:31Speaker 6: lot of kids are staying for longer in the in
- 7:34Speaker 6: the home of mum and dad, with their own bedroom
- 7:37Speaker 6: and their laundry done. But at what point should you
- 7:40Speaker 6: ask them to start paying board or contributing to the
- 7:45Speaker 6: cost of the household and how much should it be,
- 7:48Speaker 6: And of course that question was put out online and
- 7:52Speaker 6: you know, a young man was asked by his parents
- 7:55Speaker 6: if you should pay one hundred.
- 7:57Speaker 5: Dollars a week.
- 7:58Speaker 6: And of course, as you can image with days online things, there.
- 8:01Speaker 5: Was a lot of opinions being given on this here.
- 8:04Speaker 1: Well funny about that, and it's because Susio Brown wrote
- 8:07Speaker 1: about it in the newsical papers. Kids, there's these new numbers.
- 8:10Speaker 1: I think we were we might have been talking about
- 8:12Speaker 1: it last week, about the number of kids who are
- 8:14Speaker 1: now staying at home instead of moving out. I think
- 8:17Speaker 1: it was eighteen to twenty nine. I've lost the number year. Yes,
- 8:22Speaker 1: it's more than fifty percent, yeah, right, which is significant. Now.
- 8:26Speaker 5: I was told it's more boys than girls.
- 8:28Speaker 6: Yeah, by the way, and which is say for mummies
- 8:31Speaker 6: cooking and boundary skills.
- 8:32Speaker 1: That day, why wouldn't you. And they don't let they
- 8:34Speaker 1: don't let the boys or some if this is anyway,
- 8:36Speaker 1: they don't let the boys leave until they get married
- 8:38Speaker 1: and all this sort of business. But my deal was
- 8:42Speaker 1: that if I got a full time job, I had
- 8:44Speaker 1: to pay board and I thought that was fair enough.
- 8:46Speaker 1: I got a full time job at seventeen, and so
- 8:48Speaker 1: I had to pay up. And actually I did a
- 8:50Speaker 1: deal with my parents because I had some money in
- 8:54Speaker 1: the bank and I wanted to buy my first car.
- 8:57Speaker 5: So we were just like every parent's perfect child.
- 9:00Speaker 1: Oh look, I wouldn't I wouldn't necessarily say that in
- 9:03Speaker 1: some ways bad.
- 9:04Speaker 5: Look.
- 9:04Speaker 1: You know, I wasn't out on the drugs all the time,
- 9:06Speaker 1: but it was on the booze. But anyway, so you
- 9:10Speaker 1: start working in the newsroom at seventeen. These are the
- 9:12Speaker 1: sort of.
- 9:12Speaker 6: Things Nostralia, the yeah sixteens.
- 9:16Speaker 1: But I had some money in the back of want
- 9:18Speaker 1: to buy my first car. So I brought my car
- 9:20Speaker 1: off my parents and gave them an advance on my board,
- 9:24Speaker 1: and in doing so got a discount because they wanted
- 9:26Speaker 1: to do some renovations on the house. So I said,
- 9:29Speaker 1: here's the money, and I got a discount on the board.
- 9:31Speaker 1: So I was doing deals quite early, and I thought
- 9:33Speaker 1: there was a smart thing to do. But my brother,
- 9:37Speaker 1: he's a couple of three years younger than me, right,
- 9:39Speaker 1: still lives at home eating if you're watching, and he
- 9:43Speaker 1: pays no board despite the fact that he works because
- 9:47Speaker 1: he works four days a week and he's casual and
- 9:49Speaker 1: so the terms were full time and he hasn't met them,
- 9:53Speaker 1: and so he's never paid a cent, and I think
- 9:55Speaker 1: that's crap. Yeah.
- 9:56Speaker 4: Look, I think it really depends on the individuals situation
- 10:00Speaker 4: and what your kids are like.
- 10:03Speaker 7: Personally, I was always a saver.
- 10:06Speaker 4: As soon as I started earning money, I was saving
- 10:08Speaker 4: every single penny, and so I don't think my parents
- 10:11Speaker 4: had any concerns. They didn't need to institute board as
- 10:15Speaker 4: a way to get me to have some financial discipline.
- 10:18Speaker 7: My brother as well.
- 10:19Speaker 4: Sorry, my older brother also still lives at home with
- 10:22Speaker 4: my parents.
- 10:23Speaker 7: While I had a mortgage, yeah on my apartment.
- 10:25Speaker 4: But to his credit, he is studying, teaching and doing
- 10:30Speaker 4: full time placements where he's not paid. So again, it
- 10:33Speaker 4: does depend on the situation. But if you've got kids
- 10:36Speaker 4: that struggle to save money, I think having to pay
- 10:39Speaker 4: bills every week is good disciplined, do you know?
- 10:41Speaker 6: Though, obviously this is all about the brothers, and if
- 10:44Speaker 6: my brother Sam's watching, he is not living our parents
- 10:48Speaker 6: so are gone, so he's certainly not at home living
- 10:50Speaker 6: with our parents. He's married with his own family.
- 10:53Speaker 5: Now, but he was very clever.
- 10:55Speaker 6: I went away to university and got a hextep like
- 10:59Speaker 6: everybody else.
- 11:00Speaker 5: It goes to you to most other people go to university.
- 11:02Speaker 6: Because my brother managed to convince my mother of the
- 11:05Speaker 6: discount you get up front. So he was living at home,
- 11:09Speaker 6: and so mum then paid his university fees because he
- 11:13Speaker 6: convinced her about this great discount that they got if
- 11:16Speaker 6: they paid them up front. But until this day, I
- 11:19Speaker 6: still give him a hard time because Mum used to
- 11:22Speaker 6: make his lunch to take to university, and it became
- 11:26Speaker 6: real the joke in our household, because I'm serious. My
- 11:31Speaker 6: mum would make him Jat's crackers with butter and veggie,
- 11:34Speaker 6: might two together, and they'd be like, you know, six
- 11:37Speaker 6: pairs of them, all.
- 11:38Speaker 5: Wrapped in glad wrap. And I would come.
- 11:41Speaker 6: You know, by this stage, I'm six years older, so
- 11:43Speaker 6: I'd finished studio and was out of home and would
- 11:45Speaker 6: come back for a visit.
- 11:46Speaker 5: And be just endlessly entertained.
- 11:49Speaker 6: But I am now a mother of sons, and I
- 11:52Speaker 6: would just like to say I understand that a lot
- 11:54Speaker 6: more now.
- 11:54Speaker 1: Yes, look, and I think it's the principle of it.
- 11:57Speaker 1: It is saying that you have responsibilities in this world,
- 12:00Speaker 1: and you don't get things for free, even if it's
- 12:03Speaker 1: a nominal amount of money. It's just the principle of
- 12:06Speaker 1: you are paying to live under someone else's roof, even
- 12:09Speaker 1: if they're your parents, and like the money you pay,
- 12:12Speaker 1: you're always going to get more for that money in
- 12:14Speaker 1: terms of food and whatever anyway, So don't complain about it.
- 12:18Speaker 1: But I can't get over the number of parents who
- 12:21Speaker 1: bulk at the idea of charging their kids board and
- 12:24Speaker 1: they're like, oh, but you know, he can't afford it,
- 12:27Speaker 1: and all this sort of garbage. Molly coddling your kids
- 12:31Speaker 1: is why they stay at home, It's why they can't
- 12:34Speaker 1: get a job, It's why they turn out mendicant, useless,
- 12:38Speaker 1: no good members of society.
- 12:42Speaker 5: You'd stop sitting on the fence with them.
- 12:44Speaker 1: You had to teach your kids rights and responsibilities, give
- 12:48Speaker 1: them some responsibility in the world. You know, no wonder
- 12:51Speaker 1: they are. Mummy's doing this, mummy's doing that. No, if
- 12:55Speaker 1: you're eighteen, look after yourself.
- 12:58Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I agree, but we have to have
- 13:02Speaker 4: some grace here as well.
- 13:03Speaker 7: And I'm sure parents love their kids and it's out of.
- 13:07Speaker 4: Love that they don't want to chuck them out onto
- 13:09Speaker 4: the street if they're late on their board.
- 13:11Speaker 1: Well I sure. Look you know when I moved out
- 13:13Speaker 1: of home and I bought my first place at twenty
- 13:16Speaker 1: as well, I moved out of home and Mum could
- 13:19Speaker 1: not have taken over my bedroom quick enough and turned
- 13:21Speaker 1: it into the bloody you know, craft room and all
- 13:24Speaker 1: this sort of gear. But you know how many times
- 13:26Speaker 1: a week she sort of texts means or or I
- 13:28Speaker 1: wish you didn't move into stone. So they want to
- 13:31Speaker 1: get you out of there, but they do wish.
- 13:33Speaker 7: You'd get They always wish you'd come back.
- 13:35Speaker 1: Well.
- 13:35Speaker 4: Speaking of young people and education, there's a Catholic school
- 13:39Speaker 4: down in Victoria, Sacred Hearts Girls' School in Oakley. Now
- 13:45Speaker 4: they could become the test case for whether religious schools
- 13:48Speaker 4: have the ability to discriminate against employees who would like
- 13:53Speaker 4: to use non binary pronouns. There's a teacher down there,
- 13:56Speaker 4: Micah Saunders, who is math teacher. Two years ago, at
- 14:01Speaker 4: a queer support meaning for students, he came out as
- 14:05Speaker 4: non binary and then requested that everyone use mix instead
- 14:11Speaker 4: of mister m X. That's the gender neutral pronoun for
- 14:17Speaker 4: mister and missus. And basically the principal said no, this
- 14:23Speaker 4: is a Catholic school. That's very bizarre, got told off
- 14:25Speaker 4: for having a pride.
- 14:26Speaker 7: Sticker, etc. Etc.
- 14:28Speaker 4: Well, now that is going to the Melbourne Magistrates Court
- 14:32Speaker 4: and it could end up all the way in the
- 14:35Speaker 4: High Court and really be a test case for whether
- 14:38Speaker 4: religious schools do have the ability to enforce normal pronouns
- 14:45Speaker 4: and discriminate against non binary teachers. Now, under the Sex
- 14:51Speaker 4: Discrimination Act, under a lot of our antidiscrimination laws, there
- 14:54Speaker 4: are exemptions for religious institutions, but we do know labors
- 14:59Speaker 4: trying to narrow them. But I think if you're a
- 15:02Speaker 4: religious institution, that's why you exist. People get employed there
- 15:08Speaker 4: knowing that is the purpose.
- 15:09Speaker 7: For your existence.
- 15:11Speaker 4: Of course they should be able to demand that you
- 15:14Speaker 4: uphold those values.
- 15:16Speaker 5: Well, I think parents send their kids to those.
- 15:18Speaker 6: Schools because they expect those values to be upheld. And
- 15:22Speaker 6: you know, it's always nice being with the gen z
- 15:24Speaker 6: who can actually explain to me how to pronounce these pronouns,
- 15:27Speaker 6: because I had absolutely no idea how you actually said MX.
- 15:33Speaker 1: That's me any joy to advise you how to do it.
- 15:36Speaker 6: Look, but can I just tell you I did I
- 15:38Speaker 6: did say something you know on the gram because I'm
- 15:41Speaker 6: not completely old and outdated on the Instagram that in
- 15:45Speaker 6: Italian non binary is non binario or non bnaria, depending
- 15:53Speaker 6: on your gender.
- 15:54Speaker 1: And I just thought that was the best I had ever.
- 15:59Speaker 1: I think I proved it all. And look, I never
- 16:02Speaker 1: thought i'd see the day where MX mix would actually
- 16:07Speaker 1: be printed in a newspaper article as a genuine salutation
- 16:11Speaker 1: for someone who wouldn't have flown when I was a cadet,
- 16:13Speaker 1: I can tell you. But here we are in twenty
- 16:15Speaker 1: twenty five, I suppose. But there's always anti discrimination laws,
- 16:21Speaker 1: and as you say, there are exemptions for religious organizations.
- 16:25Speaker 1: You know, my view really is that it shouldn't really
- 16:28Speaker 1: matter whether you're a religious organization or not. If you
- 16:31Speaker 1: are a business or a school or any other outfit
- 16:33Speaker 1: that employs people, and you make clear outwardly what your
- 16:38Speaker 1: values are, religious or otherwise, and someone then comes into
- 16:42Speaker 1: that workplace and says, no, but you are wrong, and
- 16:46Speaker 1: you must adapt for me, go and get a job
- 16:48Speaker 1: somewhere else. You know, if the values of the school
- 16:52Speaker 1: are not your values, bugga trying to change the school's values,
- 16:56Speaker 1: because that's never going to happen. Don't get them to
- 16:59Speaker 1: conform to you. You go and get a job somewhere else.
- 17:02Speaker 1: But this is, I suppose, broadly what you have seen
- 17:05Speaker 1: in the non binary movement, if you want to call
- 17:07Speaker 1: it that, and you see the same in the transgender movement,
- 17:10Speaker 1: is that the rest of the world has to adapt
- 17:13Speaker 1: to me to make me feel better. No, we don't.
- 17:16Speaker 6: But you can also imagine this will become like the
- 17:18Speaker 6: next giggle versus tickle kind of my core case, where
- 17:23Speaker 6: the Catholic Church is going to have to determine whether
- 17:25Speaker 6: or not they have to accept this sort of you know, dictate.
- 17:29Speaker 6: I have no doubt Equality Australia's out there at the
- 17:31Speaker 6: moment getting this guy on the phone saying, don't worry,
- 17:34Speaker 6: we'll bankroll all of your case that as highre as
- 17:38Speaker 6: you want to go, because you know this is this
- 17:40Speaker 6: is what these people are.
- 17:42Speaker 7: He's actually said that.
- 17:43Speaker 4: So in the article, the teacher said, I'm not just
- 17:45Speaker 4: doing this for me, I'm doing this for.
- 17:47Speaker 7: Everyone else, every non binary person.
- 17:49Speaker 8: Who comes in my eyes rolling that is the problem,
- 17:53Speaker 8: right If this is not a genuine Oh, I'm just
- 17:56Speaker 8: so oppressed I need to go by mix otherwise my
- 17:59Speaker 8: life is over.
- 18:00Speaker 4: These are generally used as test cases to push the
- 18:03Speaker 4: envelope and slowly but surely undermine reality and the rights
- 18:08Speaker 4: of religious organizations to maintain their value. So we have
- 18:11Speaker 4: to push back against this.
- 18:12Speaker 1: Indeed, well, we're in Melbourne and sticking with issues of gender.
- 18:16Speaker 1: You might have heard of the Savage Club. It is
- 18:18Speaker 1: one of the exclusive men's clubs in Melbourne, and they
- 18:21Speaker 1: decided a few months ago Saturday June that they were
- 18:24Speaker 1: going to run a trial allowing women to come into
- 18:28Speaker 1: the club for lunch on Tuesdays and Wednesdays because they're
- 18:32Speaker 1: apparently a bit worried that the dining room wasn't being
- 18:35Speaker 1: used enough and previously women could only come in for
- 18:38Speaker 1: specific eventsnet had to be after four point thirty pm.
- 18:41Speaker 1: So they said, we'll let the birds come in Tuesday
- 18:43Speaker 1: Wednesday for a bit of notch. A couple of the blokes,
- 18:47Speaker 1: or some of them anyway, are upset about this, and
- 18:49Speaker 1: so they're holding tomorrow an extraordinary meeting to discuss the
- 18:54Speaker 1: fact that women are being allowed into the club. And
- 18:57Speaker 1: I must say some of the quotes is an email
- 18:59Speaker 1: that was sent around advising of this meeting. Some of
- 19:03Speaker 1: the quotes out of it are just magnificent. This is
- 19:05Speaker 1: reading from the newspaper report. A group of members reportedly
- 19:09Speaker 1: called the Extraordinary General Meeting, writing in an email, this
- 19:12Speaker 1: is the herald Son that the loud and boisterous bohemian
- 19:15Speaker 1: behavior that the institution was well known for will now
- 19:19Speaker 1: have to be quote tempered for fear of us setting
- 19:21Speaker 1: a Karen at the other end of the dining room
- 19:24Speaker 1: if women were allowed to die. One of the other
- 19:27Speaker 1: things that was put forward in this email by the
- 19:30Speaker 1: members or some of the members who are unhappy with
- 19:33Speaker 1: this trial, was that our wives will no longer have
- 19:37Speaker 1: the comfort of knowing that we're at a male only venue,
- 19:40Speaker 1: so long hours spent at the club will no longer
- 19:43Speaker 1: be viewed as favorably on the home front because brevious decreds. Hey,
- 19:47Speaker 1: I'm just down at the Savage Club, and the wife
- 19:49Speaker 1: would go, oh, all I suppose is just hanging out
- 19:50Speaker 1: with the blokes. There's nothing wrong with that. I mean,
- 19:52Speaker 1: now the wives are going to be jealous because all
- 19:54Speaker 1: these women.
- 19:55Speaker 6: Are coming into the club rambunctious, now boisterous equipment.
- 19:58Speaker 1: I know for Tuesday and Wednesday. Now, look, you know
- 20:02Speaker 1: it is up to the club to make its own decisions.
- 20:04Speaker 1: As far as I'm concerned, Obviously at the moment, the
- 20:06Speaker 1: official decision of the club is that they're running this trial,
- 20:09Speaker 1: but the members are well within their rights to say
- 20:11Speaker 1: we want the trial to end because it is a
- 20:13Speaker 1: men's club, and you know, a lot of people would argue, well,
- 20:17Speaker 1: it's wrong. Of course women should be allowed in there.
- 20:20Speaker 1: It's a men's club for men, Like, why do women
- 20:24Speaker 1: need to be allowed in a men's club?
- 20:27Speaker 5: There are well, you're allowed in our bathrooms.
- 20:32Speaker 1: You might have got me on that one. But there
- 20:34Speaker 1: are equivalent women's clubs. You know, in Adelaide there's the
- 20:37Speaker 1: Adelaide Club and there's the Greeen Adelaide Club. I think
- 20:40Speaker 1: it's the Athenaeum Club in Melbourne is the equivalent of
- 20:43Speaker 1: the Melbourne Club. They exist for women. So women go
- 20:47Speaker 1: to the women's clubs, men go to the men's clubs,
- 20:50Speaker 1: and can't we all just move on like that, Yeah,
- 20:52Speaker 1: we'll go to a mixed club if you want to
- 20:53Speaker 1: go to a mixed club.
- 20:54Speaker 4: And in this club, they did do a survey which
- 20:57Speaker 4: found only four out of four hundred and fifty eight
- 21:00Speaker 4: members supported accepting women as members, So it's extremely unpopular
- 21:05Speaker 4: one percent of club members and I think that's the principle.
- 21:09Speaker 4: Everyone should be entitled to their own single sex spaces.
- 21:13Speaker 4: Men should be able to have their men's club, women
- 21:15Speaker 4: their's and there are co ed clubs as well.
- 21:20Speaker 5: I'm a member of the co Ed Club.
- 21:21Speaker 6: I'm a member of the Royal Automobile Club and have
- 21:24Speaker 6: been for.
- 21:25Speaker 5: A very long time.
- 21:25Speaker 6: And you know, it's a great club with great reciprocal rights.
- 21:28Speaker 6: And when I go to Melbourne, I do tend to
- 21:30Speaker 6: stay at the Athenaeum and.
- 21:32Speaker 5: Use those rights.
- 21:33Speaker 6: But I do have a story about the Melbourne Club.
- 21:37Speaker 5: I was invited.
- 21:38Speaker 6: It was a Liberal Party federal convention in Melbourne and
- 21:41Speaker 6: the Sophotel was the venue, so across the road was
- 21:43Speaker 6: the Melbourne Club and.
- 21:44Speaker 5: A friend of mine said, let's have lunch.
- 21:46Speaker 6: He's a member of the Australia Club in Sydney, so
- 21:48Speaker 6: it's a reciprocal club.
- 21:50Speaker 5: He said, I'll meet you over there at twelve thirty.
- 21:54Speaker 6: I would have been better off being green with three
- 21:57Speaker 6: heads than the response I received when I walked through
- 22:00Speaker 6: the front door, and if I wasn't being followed in
- 22:03Speaker 6: by then Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, who said, hey, holds.
- 22:07Speaker 5: How are you and go meet kiss hello.
- 22:08Speaker 6: I think they may have picked me up and thrown
- 22:10Speaker 6: me out on the street, but they actually shepherded me
- 22:12Speaker 6: into the walk in closet to then go and locate
- 22:18Speaker 6: my friend who had invited me for lunch, who very
- 22:21Speaker 6: embarrassingly had to come and say to me, I'm so sorry,
- 22:24Speaker 6: I didn't know you couldn't come in for lunch and
- 22:27Speaker 6: shepherd me out the door to go to a restaurant
- 22:30Speaker 6: that does allow women in at lunchtime. But I mean, honestly,
- 22:34Speaker 6: the look on these people's face. I don't know what
- 22:36Speaker 6: they thought I was going to do to them in there,
- 22:38Speaker 6: but it was the most bizarre reaction I have ever received.
- 22:43Speaker 1: So just in my life, just to be clear, you
- 22:45Speaker 1: have the distinction of having come out of the closet
- 22:47Speaker 1: at the Melbourne Clubs.
- 22:48Speaker 5: I have come out of the closet at the Melbourne club.
- 22:52Speaker 1: Ah. Dear. Now let's go over to the United States. So,
- 22:55Speaker 1: of course we won't go into too much detail because
- 22:57Speaker 1: I'm sure you've seen all the clips being played tonight.
- 23:01Speaker 1: Donald Trump at the un of course, is what I'm
- 23:04Speaker 1: talking about, but I will show you a couple of
- 23:06Speaker 1: the highlights. It didn't mince his words at any point
- 23:09Speaker 1: in this speech. His teleprompter wasn't working from the beginning,
- 23:12Speaker 1: so presumably a lot of this he was just winging
- 23:15Speaker 1: it on the fly. My god, did he hit every
- 23:19Speaker 1: point beautifully, one of them in particular about migration.
- 23:24Speaker 9: When your prisons are filled with so called asylum seekers
- 23:27Speaker 9: who repaid kindness, and that's what they did, they repaid
- 23:31Speaker 9: kindness with crime, it's time to end the failed experiment
- 23:35Speaker 9: of open borders. You have to end it now, I said,
- 23:38Speaker 9: I can tell you I'm really good at this stuff.
- 23:41Speaker 9: Your countries are going to hell.
- 23:43Speaker 1: Oh man. He is made for television, isn't it. It
- 23:46Speaker 1: is just great. If you want a good summation of
- 23:48Speaker 1: all of it, I'd recommend you go and watch Peter
- 23:51Speaker 1: Kreedlin's editorial from earlier this evening. She wrapped up really
- 23:54Speaker 1: well what he was getting on about and why it
- 23:56Speaker 1: was so important. But of course, as I said before,
- 24:00Speaker 1: that didn't work from the start of the speech, and
- 24:02Speaker 1: on his way in he went to get on the
- 24:05Speaker 1: escalator up with his wife, the Millania, the first lady,
- 24:08Speaker 1: and the escalator stopped working. Like they've taken about two
- 24:10Speaker 1: steps onto the escalator, and the thing immediately froze up,
- 24:14Speaker 1: and so there have been questions about whether or not
- 24:16Speaker 1: someone did that deliberately. They've also asked the same questions
- 24:19Speaker 1: about the teleprompter, whether someone did that deliberately just to
- 24:22Speaker 1: miss with Donald Trump. I suppose it is the un
- 24:25Speaker 1: after all, he addressed these incidents in his speech.
- 24:30Speaker 9: All I got from the United Nations was an escalator
- 24:33Speaker 9: that on the way up stopped right in the middle.
- 24:37Speaker 9: If the first lady wasn't in great shape, you would
- 24:39Speaker 9: have fallen.
- 24:40Speaker 1: And then a.
- 24:40Speaker 9: Teleprompter that didn't work. These are the two things I
- 24:45Speaker 9: got from the United Nations. A bad escalator and a
- 24:48Speaker 9: bad teleprompter.
- 24:50Speaker 1: Fantastic. So I suppose the question is was it deliberate
- 24:53Speaker 1: or not.
- 24:54Speaker 4: Oh, I definitely think it's very suspicious that both the
- 24:59Speaker 4: escalator and the teleprompter were wrong. Caroline leave At, the
- 25:04Speaker 4: White House spokesperson, also said that apparently the audio levels
- 25:08Speaker 4: in the chamber were lower for Trump than for.
- 25:10Speaker 7: The speaker before.
- 25:11Speaker 4: So I think when you put all that together, I
- 25:13Speaker 4: wouldn't be surprised if it was deliberate, But thank goodness
- 25:17Speaker 4: it was. Trump and Milani are on the escalator, not
- 25:19Speaker 4: Jill and Joe Biden. They would have been rolling back
- 25:22Speaker 4: to Washington, DC, might have.
- 25:25Speaker 6: Would have definitely not been getting on the escalator at all.
- 25:28Speaker 5: They would have had to get the walker.
- 25:30Speaker 6: Up in a lift, and they would have had to
- 25:31Speaker 6: hide it from public view. But the look on Mullaniu's
- 25:34Speaker 6: face is actually perfection. So just don't don't always focus
- 25:40Speaker 6: on the Trump. Have a look at Mulaniu's face, and
- 25:42Speaker 6: it is just pure gold. The way she turns around
- 25:46Speaker 6: and glares at someone when this thing just goes stop
- 25:48Speaker 6: as soon as they step ony, but.
- 25:50Speaker 1: She just takes off. I mean, I'm still They're like,
- 25:52Speaker 1: what's going on? You to fix it?
- 25:53Speaker 5: She's got a cardio.
- 25:56Speaker 6: They don't like him, but they're going to keep him
- 25:57Speaker 6: alive longer by getting him to walk up.
- 26:00Speaker 1: You know, look when he managed to get up the
- 26:03Speaker 1: steps without stumbling.
- 26:05Speaker 7: That's true and it really was.
- 26:06Speaker 4: I mean, the whole speech, everything about Trump's appearance was
- 26:10Speaker 4: just a masterclass in dressing down the globalist international order
- 26:15Speaker 4: at the UN.
- 26:16Speaker 7: And it's true.
- 26:17Speaker 4: Everything he said right the building is emblematic of how
- 26:20Speaker 4: failed it is as an institution. He's stopped all these wars.
- 26:24Speaker 4: What has the UN achieved? They've given out so much
- 26:26Speaker 4: money and aid. Where are the results they're now recognizing
- 26:29Speaker 4: a Palestinian state, Well, the hostages still aren't home. I mean,
- 26:33Speaker 4: he just ran through every single hypocrisy that is at
- 26:36Speaker 4: the core of the United Nations. And to just have
- 26:40Speaker 4: a president spelling out so clearly directly to their face,
- 26:44Speaker 4: it was glorious.
- 26:46Speaker 6: The whole thing was just it was spectacular. There is
- 26:49Speaker 6: no other word for it. And I mean the way
- 26:52Speaker 6: he made the point that it is the kindness of
- 26:54Speaker 6: countries that you know, allow people to come in and
- 26:57Speaker 6: then they repay that kindness by committee crimes is well,
- 27:01Speaker 6: let's you know, it's what happened with then Zyq and
- 27:04Speaker 6: what did our High court go?
- 27:05Speaker 10: Go?
- 27:05Speaker 5: Oh, actually now you can't detain them?
- 27:07Speaker 6: And I think this is what he's just gone in
- 27:09Speaker 6: and said, Nope, we aren't not happening anymore. The conjob
- 27:13Speaker 6: that is renewable energy and the way that it was working,
- 27:18Speaker 6: this is just perfection. And all of these world leaders
- 27:22Speaker 6: sitting around looking at him have recognized Palestine, who've announced
- 27:27Speaker 6: these ridiculous climate the climate emissions.
- 27:30Speaker 5: Targets, who are the open border stuff?
- 27:33Speaker 6: And we know that the UN is focused on one world,
- 27:36Speaker 6: one government, and for him to just tear it all
- 27:39Speaker 6: apart was just absolute perfection.
- 27:41Speaker 1: And he leaned into the fascical nature of the UN
- 27:45Speaker 1: and skewered it so well. And look, one thing I
- 27:47Speaker 1: would say to the UN is look what Donald Trump
- 27:50Speaker 1: has done with NATO. If you actually listen to the
- 27:53Speaker 1: guy and treat him seriously, he can do a great
- 27:57Speaker 1: deal of good for you. And NATO has worked that out.
- 28:00Speaker 1: Sure that you win is quite that farst.
- 28:01Speaker 7: Yes, exactly.
- 28:02Speaker 4: And the left, I mean they always implode and tear
- 28:05Speaker 4: themselves apart.
- 28:05Speaker 7: And the same thing is happening over in the UK.
- 28:08Speaker 7: Jeremy Corbyn has left the Labor.
- 28:10Speaker 4: Party and is now forming his own new radical left
- 28:15Speaker 4: wing party. There are six founding members of this party
- 28:19Speaker 4: and they're already at war with each other. They've got
- 28:23Speaker 4: this firebrand woman in there called Zara Sultana.
- 28:27Speaker 7: Who was claiming she was a.
- 28:29Speaker 4: Co founder but then objected to the name, then threatened
- 28:34Speaker 4: to sue them over a dispute in launching a membership portal,
- 28:39Speaker 4: and is now accusing Corbyn's new party of being a
- 28:43Speaker 4: sexist boys club.
- 28:45Speaker 7: So three months into the.
- 28:47Speaker 4: Party and one of its founding members is already accusing them.
- 28:52Speaker 4: I mean this sounds like it could be a Liberal
- 28:53Speaker 4: Party convention honestly.
- 28:55Speaker 1: But he has no electoral success to show, and so
- 29:01Speaker 1: I'm a bit confused what he thinks he's going to
- 29:03Speaker 1: be able to do with this party. I mean, read
- 29:07Speaker 1: the tea leaves, fella. There is a change in the
- 29:11Speaker 1: political spectrum and feeling in the United Kingdom, but it's
- 29:15Speaker 1: going in completely the opposite direction. And so if he
- 29:18Speaker 1: thinks he's going to be able to be the reform
- 29:22Speaker 1: of the left by going even further to the left,
- 29:25Speaker 1: when clearly you've got a party that's going further to
- 29:28Speaker 1: the right that's won every published opinion poll since May.
- 29:32Speaker 1: I don't know who he thinks is going to buy
- 29:34Speaker 1: his product.
- 29:34Speaker 4: Well, no, he has claimed that his new party is
- 29:38Speaker 4: going to be the polar opposite of reform.
- 29:41Speaker 7: That is their hole work hit.
- 29:44Speaker 4: Okay, so you're going to be the polar opposite of
- 29:46Speaker 4: the most popular party in.
- 29:47Speaker 7: Britain right now, let's see how that goes.
- 29:50Speaker 5: The big problem that.
- 29:52Speaker 6: Is an issue when you look at the UK voting
- 29:55Speaker 6: system though it is first past the post, so if
- 29:59Speaker 6: there are they left wing areas like we know with
- 30:02Speaker 6: some of our own inner city seats.
- 30:05Speaker 5: Than you. You just never know where the first passed
- 30:07Speaker 5: the post.
- 30:08Speaker 6: And when it's voluntary voting and you're appealing to a base,
- 30:13Speaker 6: it's a bit of a worry.
- 30:14Speaker 1: See what happens I suppose now. Look, I know it's
- 30:17Speaker 1: the bane of many people's existence when they end up
- 30:19Speaker 1: in a middle seat on a flight, or you're in
- 30:22Speaker 1: ct A or seat C or D or F and
- 30:26Speaker 1: the person in the middle seat next to you is
- 30:29Speaker 1: shall we say, rotund, and you know you're sort of
- 30:33Speaker 1: squeezed in a bit and you haven't got much room
- 30:35Speaker 1: to move. I know I've been in that situation before.
- 30:38Speaker 1: It's not terribly comfortable. So Virgin Australia, I reckon they
- 30:41Speaker 1: have an answer to it, which is that they are
- 30:43Speaker 1: going to put out an auction to have a seat
- 30:47Speaker 1: without someone sitting next to you. So if they have
- 30:50Speaker 1: surplus seats available on a flight they haven't sold them all,
- 30:54Speaker 1: you'll be able to enter into a bidding war to
- 30:59Speaker 1: have a seat that is next to an empty one,
- 31:01Speaker 1: so you could be in the window seat, that you
- 31:03Speaker 1: could be in the aisle seat and have the middle
- 31:06Speaker 1: seat free. You know, I think they're saying bidding will
- 31:08Speaker 1: start at thirty bucks or something, and we'll wait and
- 31:11Speaker 1: see how much you have to pay in the end,
- 31:13Speaker 1: I suppose seems like a great idea. I mean, if
- 31:16Speaker 1: you've got the opportunity to pay to not have someone
- 31:19Speaker 1: sitting next to you, particularly on international flights, I think
- 31:23Speaker 1: people would be more than willing to pay for it.
- 31:25Speaker 4: Well, I think definitely international flights, and even long haul
- 31:28Speaker 4: domestic flights. If you're flying over to Perth it's a
- 31:31Speaker 4: long way. I would totally go for this. But I
- 31:34Speaker 4: do also think Virgin is clearly looking for any way
- 31:38Speaker 4: to monetize their flying. First, there selling the space underneath
- 31:43Speaker 4: your seat for your dogs to fly, and now the
- 31:46Speaker 4: empty seat next to you can also buy. I mean,
- 31:49Speaker 4: what's next extra overhead locker space.
- 31:52Speaker 7: I don't know, but I actually.
- 31:54Speaker 5: The overhead locker is not a bad idea.
- 31:56Speaker 6: Now you've said that, because how many times have you
- 31:58Speaker 6: got on a domestic fly and because everyone goes on
- 32:01Speaker 6: carry on now and the flight attendants look at you
- 32:04Speaker 6: and go, well, there's no room. If you could pre
- 32:06Speaker 6: book the space above you, rather than having to slap
- 32:10Speaker 6: up the back of the plane to find some overhead
- 32:13Speaker 6: space with a Virgin, there you go.
- 32:14Speaker 5: We've got a new idea for you.
- 32:16Speaker 7: No checking luggage either.
- 32:18Speaker 1: Don't give them ideas for how to squeeze more money out.
- 32:21Speaker 1: You know, it's all, it's all, but you know.
- 32:24Speaker 6: So I was going on an overseas trip in the
- 32:26Speaker 6: airline we were flying has an auction that you can
- 32:29Speaker 6: bid for upgrades, and I had done that, put the
- 32:34Speaker 6: bid in for the upgrade, and when we got to
- 32:37Speaker 6: the airport, I was actually flying back from Canberra, so
- 32:41Speaker 6: we were the first people in the queue to check
- 32:43Speaker 6: in because they hadn't opened the flight when I arrived
- 32:45Speaker 6: from Canbra and I said, oh, look, we'd enter, you know,
- 32:49Speaker 6: to just wondered if there's any upgrades available.
- 32:52Speaker 5: The upgrade I ended up getting for both.
- 32:55Speaker 6: Me and my husband was less than what I had
- 32:58Speaker 6: bid that had been unsuccessful. So somehow or other in
- 33:01Speaker 6: that way that it was working. I actually paid less
- 33:04Speaker 6: at the gate to get the upgrade than what I
- 33:06Speaker 6: have been So.
- 33:08Speaker 5: I don't know how this works, anyway, I'm all for it.
- 33:11Speaker 1: Can I give a little note as well to the
- 33:13Speaker 1: airlines and say the whole point of going to an
- 33:15Speaker 1: airport lounge is that you can drink at any time
- 33:18Speaker 1: of day. Why in the domestic lounges Quantus and Virgin
- 33:23Speaker 1: Do they make you wait until midday? I want my
- 33:25Speaker 1: breakfast beer. God damn it, I'm on holiday.
- 33:28Speaker 5: And it's midday somewhere.
- 33:29Speaker 1: Exactly exactly, very quickly before we get to a break
- 33:32Speaker 1: very interesting story out of South Australia. A guy who
- 33:36Speaker 1: was an Uber driver and had his account canceled by
- 33:40Speaker 1: Uber because he got into a scuffle with some blokes
- 33:42Speaker 1: who were doing drugs in the back of his car
- 33:45Speaker 1: and obviously had an altercation with them. But those guys
- 33:48Speaker 1: then made a complaint to Uber and said that he
- 33:50Speaker 1: tried to pull the swifty on them, so Uber took
- 33:52Speaker 1: his accounterway. So he went off and complained to the
- 33:56Speaker 1: Fair Work Commission. And for the first time ever, we
- 33:59Speaker 1: now have a gig economy worker who has been given
- 34:03Speaker 1: compensation for lost income because he wrongly had his ability
- 34:08Speaker 1: to work taken away from him by Uber. So this
- 34:12Speaker 1: sets the precedent now that you know you can complain
- 34:15Speaker 1: that Uber or any other service has taken away your
- 34:17Speaker 1: ability to work get compensation for lost income if they
- 34:21Speaker 1: do so wrongly. I just wonder can that be extended
- 34:24Speaker 1: to like social media, like if you do your business
- 34:27Speaker 1: fundamentally on social media and your account is wrongly suspended,
- 34:31Speaker 1: do you start going after X and Facebook and whatever
- 34:34Speaker 1: through the courts. I don't know.
- 34:35Speaker 4: Well, probably not social media because in that case you're
- 34:39Speaker 4: uploading your content to a platform. So it's going to
- 34:41Speaker 4: be more for task based sites, so Uber and tasker
- 34:46Speaker 4: platforms like that.
- 34:47Speaker 7: But it would be interesting if you're doing.
- 34:49Speaker 4: Bookings and appointments through some of these platforms. Through Facebook
- 34:54Speaker 4: you can do bookings or Google. Even if your website
- 34:57Speaker 4: gets taken down and then you lose you there probably
- 35:01Speaker 4: could be an argument that you have been unfairly deactivated and.
- 35:05Speaker 7: You are a gig worker. So I think this, I.
- 35:08Speaker 4: Mean, all of Labour's industrial relations laws have just opened
- 35:11Speaker 4: up the floodgate for so much litigation and exactly what
- 35:15Speaker 4: we need in the middle of a productivity crisis.
- 35:18Speaker 1: We shall see. There's actually a story relating to the
- 35:21Speaker 1: social media stuff. Someone who's lost a lot of money
- 35:23Speaker 1: because their Instagram account got banned on the front of
- 35:26Speaker 1: one of the papers tomorrow will take a look at
- 35:28Speaker 1: that shortly, and also on the front of the Daily Telegraph,
- 35:31Speaker 1: the number of people who've changed the agenda on their
- 35:34Speaker 1: birth certificate since the law came in allowing you to
- 35:36Speaker 1: do that three months ago. Don't go well, you know
- 35:48Speaker 1: what you get in this segment. Tomorrow's News Tonight will
- 35:50Speaker 1: start with the Herald Sun.
- 35:52Speaker 6: Tomorrow, Holly and Tomorrow I think is going to be
- 35:55Speaker 6: across the country wall to wall.
- 35:57Speaker 5: I know you've already seen it.
- 36:00Speaker 6: Don worry, be snappy, the absolute cringe worthy selfie that
- 36:06Speaker 6: the Prime Minister managed to get for himself, So snub
- 36:09Speaker 6: to selfie. Albo finally gets meeting with Trump as President
- 36:14Speaker 6: unleashes on world leaders.
- 36:16Speaker 5: After several knockbacks.
- 36:18Speaker 6: Anthony Albanez he was delighted to score one on one
- 36:21Speaker 6: time with Donald Trump. I mean, you can just imagine.
- 36:26Speaker 5: Oh god, look at it. I mean, it's just it's awful.
- 36:30Speaker 5: It is just awful.
- 36:32Speaker 6: And I mean you can imagine Albo getting the phone
- 36:35Speaker 6: out of his out of his jacket and getting it
- 36:38Speaker 6: up there, and he's probably a bit cranky with Jody
- 36:40Speaker 6: that she wasn't close enough behind him to actually take
- 36:42Speaker 6: it on portrait mode or get a really poper one
- 36:45Speaker 6: of them standing next to each other. But if that's
- 36:48Speaker 6: how Albo sees that our relationship with the US has
- 36:50Speaker 6: gone that a selfie that he probably knocked a couple
- 36:53Speaker 6: of other world leaders out of the way to get
- 36:56Speaker 6: to is emblematic of his strong relationship with the US.
- 37:00Speaker 1: Yes, you know what. You know what struck me about
- 37:02Speaker 1: the if we can get the further back up, please,
- 37:05Speaker 1: the thing that really struck me, it's the front page.
- 37:09Speaker 1: And the thing that really struck me is the chompers
- 37:13Speaker 1: on Donald Trump have a there's that much.
- 37:19Speaker 5: Flu right in the water in the US. They've all
- 37:20Speaker 5: got creater.
- 37:21Speaker 1: You could brush your hair in the reflection off of
- 37:23Speaker 1: those two.
- 37:24Speaker 5: It's almost like a Travago commercial.
- 37:28Speaker 1: Chat, you know that chat in the Travago commercial which
- 37:31Speaker 1: you can see on this channel.
- 37:33Speaker 6: And he does have the serious it's got to be
- 37:36Speaker 6: part of.
- 37:37Speaker 1: The John his name is Jurgen Klop and he wants
- 37:41Speaker 1: to know that he is a very famous football manager
- 37:44Speaker 1: from Europe. I just give him as the Travago guy
- 37:47Speaker 1: until someone said no, you no, like he's a serious dude.
- 37:50Speaker 1: Well maybe you can find the.
- 37:51Speaker 6: Po We're going through an adult model book and going
- 37:55Speaker 6: this is our guy for the face we will give
- 37:59Speaker 6: the run.
- 38:01Speaker 4: Well, maybe Trump has actually started a global trend of
- 38:05Speaker 4: men with these incredible teeth, and I heard you can
- 38:09Speaker 4: get a discount if you go to Thailand as well.
- 38:12Speaker 1: I don't think.
- 38:14Speaker 7: The top of the line for him.
- 38:17Speaker 1: The Australian tomorrow will keep on the Donald Trump theme,
- 38:21Speaker 1: because of course you've got the picture there again the
- 38:24Speaker 1: pearly whites there with mister Alban Easy. I noticed his
- 38:27Speaker 1: aren't quite as white. But how about this photo of
- 38:31Speaker 1: Chris Bowen and Kevin Rudd having a little romance time
- 38:35Speaker 1: with the Governor of California, Gavin Newsom, Because that's the
- 38:39Speaker 1: guy we want to be.
- 38:41Speaker 5: Trump's mortal enemy, is Gavin Newsom.
- 38:45Speaker 6: And there is our ambassador who's already known to have
- 38:48Speaker 6: said the most horrible things about Donald Trump. And we
- 38:51Speaker 6: know that the staffers know that Donald still knows. And
- 38:53Speaker 6: that's potentially why there's a problem getting, particularly from Rudd's perspective, into.
- 38:58Speaker 5: The White House. But the fat that he's giving this weirdly.
- 39:02Speaker 6: Strong embrace to someone who Trump would not consider a friend.
- 39:08Speaker 6: On the day that Albineezy announcing they've locked in a meeting,
- 39:11Speaker 6: I will be very interested to see if this meeting
- 39:14Speaker 6: actually goes ahead, and if Kevin Rudd and Chris Bowen
- 39:18Speaker 6: keep having engagements like this and interjecting into the relationship.
- 39:23Speaker 5: Trump just might have to be somewhere else.
- 39:25Speaker 4: But also, sorry, what's Bowen doing in the background of
- 39:28Speaker 4: that photo?
- 39:29Speaker 7: Do you see the.
- 39:31Speaker 4: Side giving like he's just mad he's not in on.
- 39:34Speaker 1: The hut as well? Come on, he's given that side
- 39:39Speaker 1: up because you see the engagements like this. Look you
- 39:41Speaker 1: look at that photo. There might be an actually engagement
- 39:43Speaker 1: in the office. Another story on the front of the
- 39:45Speaker 1: Olds tomorrow, rude shock for Albaniz, He's green dreamers, state
- 39:48Speaker 1: digs in on cold Oh who would have thought. Queensland
- 39:52Speaker 1: has delivered a sledgehammer blow to Anthony Albaneze's climate change
- 39:55Speaker 1: of gender, with the Christophooley government planning a roadmap to
- 39:58Speaker 1: keep coal far past open for decades, as energy bosses
- 40:02Speaker 1: say they're preparing to keep their coal plants open for
- 40:05Speaker 1: longer in the likelihood there are delays in the renewables rollout,
- 40:08Speaker 1: which there will be. Queensland Treasurer David Janitski said coal
- 40:13Speaker 1: would play a part in the state's greed into at
- 40:15Speaker 1: least the twenty forties, in a blow to the Albanezi
- 40:18Speaker 1: government's chances of reaching its twenty thirty and twenty thirty
- 40:21Speaker 1: five emissions reductions target. I mean they've just said the
- 40:25Speaker 1: quiet part out loud right. All of these coal fired
- 40:28Speaker 1: power plants that they said they were going to shut down,
- 40:31Speaker 1: they keep extending the life of them anyway. This is
- 40:34Speaker 1: what's going to happen. We've just got a government now
- 40:37Speaker 1: that has the balls to call out the truth.
- 40:39Speaker 4: Yeah, versus Victoria and New South Wales where the government
- 40:42Speaker 4: has to strike secret deals with these coal companies so
- 40:46Speaker 4: they will pay for the losses that these coal plants
- 40:49Speaker 4: might make just to keep them open, because otherwise our
- 40:52Speaker 4: energy greed will not function. At least the Queensland government's
- 40:55Speaker 4: being honest about it.
- 40:56Speaker 6: Well, I mean, I would really hope that christ If
- 40:58Speaker 6: Phillie could actually go all in this and go, you
- 41:00Speaker 6: know what, We're going to upgrade some of the cold
- 41:02Speaker 6: fire power stations. We're going to put Kelly col firepowerstations in.
- 41:06Speaker 6: I'm going to extend the life because there is absolutely
- 41:09Speaker 6: no way coal is going anywhere out of the grid
- 41:12Speaker 6: at any time soon.
- 41:13Speaker 4: One hundred percent, and Queensland businesses will benefit greatly from
- 41:17Speaker 4: cheap power. In the Daily Telegraph tomorrow, certified madness hundreds
- 41:22Speaker 4: changing gender every month. Several hundred people in New South
- 41:26Speaker 4: Wales have changed their gender on their birth certificate since
- 41:30Speaker 4: controversial laws were implemented by the state government three months ago,
- 41:34Speaker 4: prompting concerns about the safety and welfare of women. The
- 41:38Speaker 4: Daily Telegraph can reveal that seven hundred and sixty six
- 41:42Speaker 4: people in New South Wales have changed their sex on
- 41:45Speaker 4: their birth certificate without gender affirmation surgery, a medical procedure,
- 41:51Speaker 4: has no longer been required to apply for a change
- 41:54Speaker 4: of sex in New South Wales.
- 41:56Speaker 7: Since July one.
- 41:57Speaker 4: So there you have it, folks, all that it's pigs
- 42:00Speaker 4: in New South Wales. To change your agenda is a
- 42:03Speaker 4: couple of minutes online self declaration and you can change
- 42:07Speaker 4: your birth certificate.
- 42:09Speaker 7: That's it. It's absolutely bonkers.
- 42:11Speaker 5: I might join the Australia Club tomorrow.
- 42:14Speaker 6: Change my gender and can question me and I might
- 42:17Speaker 6: join the Australia clubs.
- 42:19Speaker 8: It is.
- 42:20Speaker 5: It's just honestly, it's ludicrous.
- 42:22Speaker 1: It's a denial of reality. You know, you can at
- 42:25Speaker 1: least commit to the bit. You know, if you're going
- 42:28Speaker 1: to have the surgery, maybe we can talk about it then.
- 42:30Speaker 1: But like if you're just going to say, oh yeah,
- 42:33Speaker 1: I'm just going to go down to birth, deaths and
- 42:34Speaker 1: marriages and have my gender change. And you can do
- 42:37Speaker 1: it multiple times as well, so you can be a
- 42:39Speaker 1: woman one year and a bloke the next, and a
- 42:42Speaker 1: non binary. It's just it is just wrong. We'll move
- 42:47Speaker 1: on to the world.
- 42:48Speaker 6: The world has gone mad, but Adelaide seems to be
- 42:50Speaker 6: giving us a bit of hope.
- 42:51Speaker 5: You know, mel An Askis and his college is doing great.
- 42:54Speaker 5: You know, he's sporting Narrabrian. The Santos Project all good,
- 42:58Speaker 5: but we do have.
- 43:00Speaker 6: Duney buggets and exclusive in the TiSER seerage filled trust
- 43:05Speaker 6: home to be fixed then torn down. A single mum
- 43:09Speaker 6: of four in a housing trust home which has pooh
- 43:13Speaker 6: rising up through drains, black mold and no indoor toilet
- 43:17Speaker 6: or shower after the plumbing failed is aghast. The public
- 43:21Speaker 6: servants plan to have the property renovated then demolished.
- 43:25Speaker 5: So I assume that this lady.
- 43:27Speaker 6: Would like to be moved to a new house that
- 43:29Speaker 6: has indoor plumbing, the works. But I think the point
- 43:32Speaker 6: that she's making, and this is typical bureaucracy and government
- 43:36Speaker 6: planning that just makes no sense, is that they're going
- 43:40Speaker 6: to renovate the house at a cost of around fifty
- 43:42Speaker 6: thousand dollars to then demolish it two years later. I mean,
- 43:46Speaker 6: either demolish it now and rebuild, or renovate it and
- 43:52Speaker 6: move the demolished date or whatever it is too much
- 43:54Speaker 6: later that this is just bureaucratic matter.
- 43:57Speaker 1: You've just got to love government Dutch and very quickly
- 43:59Speaker 1: on the front of the ten Will Bullis and tomorrow
- 44:01Speaker 1: Meta madness towns. Will dumonuses techno tech giant. Meta is
- 44:04Speaker 1: hurting small businesses after its Instagram was disabled three times
- 44:08Speaker 1: for breaching community standards, and of course he says he
- 44:12Speaker 1: didn't do that. And this goes back to what I
- 44:15Speaker 1: was talking about before. You could potentially see cases like
- 44:18Speaker 1: this ending up in courts where people say, well, you've
- 44:20Speaker 1: hurt my business because you have wrongly taken away my
- 44:23Speaker 1: social media account. After the break, what do you do
- 44:26Speaker 1: when you come across the swooping bird? I think we've
- 44:29Speaker 1: all been in that situation before, But is it as
- 44:33Speaker 1: bad as the one I'm about to show you? Stick
- 44:34Speaker 1: around the sea now? Of course, is the weather heats up,
- 44:41Speaker 1: we'll get into birds swooping season, And if you've ever
- 44:44Speaker 1: had to deal with it before, you know, people come
- 44:45Speaker 1: up with all sorts of creative ideas. You see cyclists
- 44:48Speaker 1: getting around with the cable ties on their helmets and
- 44:51Speaker 1: all this sort of business. There are certain places if
- 44:53Speaker 1: you go for a walk, you are literally scared for
- 44:56Speaker 1: your life because one of these things may descalp you. Well,
- 44:59Speaker 1: one woman has to deal with it. When she puts
- 45:01Speaker 1: her clothes on the line, she's put a helmet on.
- 45:05Speaker 1: Take a look.
- 45:06Speaker 10: Why do you wear a helmet to hang out laundry?
- 45:26Speaker 1: See why she's wearing the helmet. Can you imagine if
- 45:28Speaker 1: you weren't wearing the helmet and the bird near the cloth,
- 45:32Speaker 1: like that thing will rid your head apart. And it's
- 45:35Speaker 1: a butcher bird. And I have to say I couldn't
- 45:38Speaker 1: have identified a butcher bird until I saw this story.
- 45:41Speaker 1: And when I looked up butcherbird, I realized this one
- 45:44Speaker 1: that comes and sits on my balcony every day, and
- 45:47Speaker 1: I feed him, and so I will definitely not stop
- 45:50Speaker 1: feeding him now because he might start swooping me. The
- 45:54Speaker 1: tats away.
- 45:55Speaker 6: Well, it's all about protecting their nests and protecting their
- 45:58Speaker 6: own backyard.
- 45:59Speaker 5: And I just love this vision.
- 46:02Speaker 6: I think this could be second only to Trump's spectacular
- 46:07Speaker 6: speech at the UN last night was the footage that
- 46:10Speaker 6: we saw of French President Emmanuel Macron making a direct call,
- 46:16Speaker 6: who we can only assume was to President Trump himself
- 46:20Speaker 6: after President Macron's motiicaid got stopped in anticipation of the
- 46:26Speaker 6: President of the United States, motiicaid coming through New York
- 46:30Speaker 6: and where he gets on the phone, We'll just have
- 46:34Speaker 6: a listen after.
- 46:36Speaker 1: Ten people with me. So I got to the French
- 46:38Speaker 1: impassing because.
- 46:39Speaker 10: I was not law.
- 46:40Speaker 5: I'm sorry, I'm President, I'm wing.
- 46:42Speaker 10: Sorry.
- 46:42Speaker 1: It's just that everything's in tols of red Ou. There's
- 46:45Speaker 1: a portal kick coming week.
- 46:46Speaker 5: That's what.
- 46:47Speaker 9: How are you guess what?
- 46:51Speaker 1: I'm a waiting just because everything is posen for you.
- 46:56Speaker 5: I just love it so much. But I love that.
- 46:59Speaker 6: Mccron then said, I can't even see him coming, so
- 47:01Speaker 6: I'm just.
- 47:02Speaker 1: Going to walk him.
- 47:02Speaker 5: Mostroad they wouldn't let him take his car, but he walked.
- 47:04Speaker 6: He had selfies with people better than the ones that
- 47:07Speaker 6: our prime minister got.
- 47:09Speaker 5: Someone came up and gave him a kiss.
- 47:11Speaker 6: But I think message to Latiker Burke after asking questions
- 47:14Speaker 6: of Albanezi today and reminding him of his debate claims
- 47:17Speaker 6: we now have proof that Trump has a cell phone.
- 47:19Speaker 7: It is true. It's pretty cool.
- 47:22Speaker 4: And another cool celemony moment was Harry Styles, who entered
- 47:26Speaker 4: the Berlin Marathon under a pseudonym Staid Sarandos and ended
- 47:31Speaker 4: up running a sub three hour marathon.
- 47:35Speaker 7: That's extremely impressive.
- 47:36Speaker 4: That means he did four minutes per kilometer for the
- 47:40Speaker 4: full forty two kilometers, which is a very impressive feat.
- 47:44Speaker 4: And no one knew till he rocked up at the
- 47:46Speaker 4: finish line and it was boom Harry Styles, So good
- 47:49Speaker 4: on him.
- 47:49Speaker 1: So what you're saying is the rock and roll lifestyle
- 47:52Speaker 1: is actually good for your health.
- 47:53Speaker 6: If you ever see me running, just just try and
- 47:55Speaker 6: kill what's chasing
- 47:58Speaker 1: For joining us today thinks to redepand in your show,
- 48:01Speaker 1: good night,
