0:11
Speaker 1: It's the good report.
0:15
Speaker 2: Tonight the lies of treasure at Jim Charms. You won't
0:19
Speaker 2: believe the whoppers, and we will sure call him out.
0:22
Speaker 2: Also tonight Billboard Chris, the Canadian crusader against pubity blockers,
0:27
Speaker 2: comes to Brisbane and gets arrested after supposedly blocking people
0:32
Speaker 2: in a near empty mall or was it actually something
0:35
Speaker 2: he said? Plus just how sorry Ismenik Ryan really and
0:40
Speaker 2: plenty more, including good work by the Prime minister. He's
0:44
Speaker 2: got the Greens so angry that they serve up but
0:46
Speaker 2: lovely salmon in the Senate. But first, this is really
0:54
Speaker 2: crazy stuff I'm seeing today. We've got a debate going
0:58
Speaker 2: about an Albanize government tax cut that's so small it
1:02
Speaker 2: barely exists. All that when we should be freaking about
1:07
Speaker 2: the huge danger last night's budget actually admitted to and
1:12
Speaker 2: then ignored. I know, it's all about this alleged tax
1:17
Speaker 2: cut just five dollars a week, and even then you
1:19
Speaker 2: have to wait fifteen months to get it. Five dollars
1:23
Speaker 2: can't even buy a family one big mac a week.
1:30
Speaker 2: But the prime ministers are sure this was a big winner,
1:32
Speaker 2: this tax cut that he tried to get parliament today
1:35
Speaker 2: to make an instant law after the opposition said it
1:38
Speaker 2: was against it.
1:39
Speaker 3: Storm clouds are gathering in the global economy as well.
1:44
Speaker 3: Trade disruptions are rising, China's growth is slowing, war is
1:49
Speaker 3: still raging in Europe, and a cease by in the
1:51
Speaker 3: Middle East is breaking down.
1:54
Speaker 2: Okay, so that was the great warning that Jim Charmers
1:58
Speaker 2: gave us that things were really, really bad, and the
2:03
Speaker 2: whole budget could go to the Schaisenhauser. But you know this,
2:12
Speaker 2: what makes this budget so crazy is that after giving
2:16
Speaker 2: us this truth, and after a budget that acknowledges that
2:21
Speaker 2: economic growth is weak, doesn't admit that living standards are
2:25
Speaker 2: actually down and admits that inflation next year is going
2:29
Speaker 2: to go up again. Well, after all that and the
2:35
Speaker 2: fact that we face the possible war from China within
2:38
Speaker 2: five years, what is almost criminal shocking is that Jim
2:45
Speaker 2: Chalmers then ignored everything you just saw him admit. Now,
2:51
Speaker 2: if Chalmers had actually just listened to himself, you'd have
2:55
Speaker 2: to conclude that his patriotic duty would be to do
2:58
Speaker 2: everything he could to prepare us for trouble. He would
3:02
Speaker 2: have to build up our savings, build up our military,
3:07
Speaker 2: and build up our economy. We have to get more
3:10
Speaker 2: resilient and or be prepared for the day when it
3:13
Speaker 2: all hits the Schaisenhauser. Instead, and this I find so shocking,
3:22
Speaker 2: it's unbelievable. Charmers did. I was the exact opposite in
3:26
Speaker 2: this budget last night. He put his party above his
3:32
Speaker 2: country in a budget that was plainly designed to get
3:36
Speaker 2: labor elected, not make Australia stronger. Go through those three things.
3:43
Speaker 2: Building up our savings, Charmers instead has gone on another
3:46
Speaker 2: spendethon so vast that every budget in the decade to
3:52
Speaker 2: come will now be in deficit in the red, with
3:57
Speaker 2: gross step hitting one trillion dollars next year, worse than
4:02
Speaker 2: last year's budget predicted. As for building up our defenses,
4:08
Speaker 2: Charmers instead promise is only a very very leisurely increase
4:12
Speaker 2: the military spending. There's nothing new really in tonight's last
4:16
Speaker 2: night's budget, very leisurely increased is just two point three
4:19
Speaker 2: percent of our economy, but only a decade away from now,
4:25
Speaker 2: and that is when the Trump administration is saying Australia,
4:29
Speaker 2: you've got to get to three percent minimum fast before
4:34
Speaker 2: it's too late. As for building up our economy, another
4:40
Speaker 2: Charmers Fail's weakening our economy. Instead, now this climate of
4:46
Speaker 2: cess government is actually doubling down on the green energy
4:50
Speaker 2: policies that have helped drive up power prices and drive
4:54
Speaker 2: big manufacturers, heavy industry out of business. It's increasing investments
4:59
Speaker 2: in green schemes that have turned into money pits. Remember
5:03
Speaker 2: the green hydrogen projects flop flop, flop, flop flop. It's
5:08
Speaker 2: rejecting the nuclear power The Liberals are promising that it's
5:11
Speaker 2: our only guarantee of reliable emissions free electricity to keep
5:16
Speaker 2: the economy running. And last sadly did flat nothing to
5:23
Speaker 2: cut the green tape in the black tape that are
5:25
Speaker 2: strongly investments. Yeah, it's absolutely no wonder, I mean no
5:32
Speaker 2: wonder that living standards under this government fall them sharply
5:35
Speaker 2: and are likely to fall again. And that alone should
5:38
Speaker 2: be the election decider, the living stand Your living standards
5:42
Speaker 2: are down now. If you think I'm being too hard
5:48
Speaker 2: on Jim Charmers, I invite you to imagine what he
5:52
Speaker 2: would say himself about this budget if it was a
5:56
Speaker 2: liberal one. If it was the Liberals who just out
6:00
Speaker 2: of a budget and ended a budget with a tricky
6:02
Speaker 2: election brable two or three or four with a decade
6:06
Speaker 2: of deficits that come with spending so out of control
6:09
Speaker 2: that will add one hundred billion dollars to the national
6:11
Speaker 2: debt in just three years and push our gross debt
6:14
Speaker 2: next year to one trillion dollars at all for nothing.
6:20
Speaker 2: We don't have to imagine what he'd say at all,
6:23
Speaker 2: because let me now play you what this same Jim
6:27
Speaker 2: Charmers said four years ago about Scott Morrison's budget when
6:33
Speaker 2: he falsely claimed the Liberals would leave us a trillion
6:36
Speaker 2: dollar debt.
6:37
Speaker 3: And their own budget papers. After one hundred billion dollars
6:40
Speaker 3: in spending a trillion dollars in debt, Australian workers are
6:44
Speaker 3: still being asked to cop are cut in their real
6:47
Speaker 3: wages now. Then in the budget last night, there were
6:49
Speaker 3: deficits as far as the eye could see, but there
6:52
Speaker 3: was a deficit of vision. In particular, it's remarkable that
6:56
Speaker 3: the government could spend so much money in such a
6:58
Speaker 3: short period of time as have so little to show
7:01
Speaker 3: for it.
7:02
Speaker 2: You couldn't have said it better about that guy's own
7:07
Speaker 2: budget last night. That hypocrite has just delivered exactly the
7:12
Speaker 2: budget he once condemned and pretended to describe, and has
7:18
Speaker 2: done that when our danger has never been so great. Now.
7:28
Speaker 2: I've got to say something about this tax cut that
7:34
Speaker 2: the Prime Minister today was treating like it was it
7:37
Speaker 2: was the big election issue now, the big election issue.
7:40
Speaker 2: This would decide the election, and by golly, those wicked
7:43
Speaker 2: Liberals they were standing in the way. I actually think
7:48
Speaker 2: this is going to could blow up in the Prime
7:51
Speaker 2: Minister's face because the tax cut is so small five
7:56
Speaker 2: dollars a week, fifteen months from now that I don't
8:01
Speaker 2: think it to take much for the Liberals to be
8:02
Speaker 2: able to find the programs to cut to make room
8:06
Speaker 2: for this tax cut, A bigger tax cut, so that
8:10
Speaker 2: there's the promise today saying, oh, the Liberals, I believe
8:13
Speaker 2: in tax cuts like this, the risory one tomorrow. The
8:17
Speaker 2: Liberals could then, Peter Dutner's replied to the budget speech,
8:22
Speaker 2: could promise something bigger, twice as big, maybe index income
8:27
Speaker 2: tax scales so that you don't get the bracket creep
8:29
Speaker 2: always stealing this money back. You could do that. In
8:33
Speaker 2: that case, what does the Prime mins have left after that?
8:37
Speaker 2: It could be a disaster, the biggest own goal you
8:41
Speaker 2: might have seen for quite some time. But we shall see.
8:44
Speaker 2: All that will be revealed tomorrow. But I suspect some
8:48
Speaker 2: bad news is coming for the Labor Party. Joining me
8:50
Speaker 2: is the political panel Cameron Milner form whichief of staff
8:53
Speaker 2: the Labor Leader, Bills Shortened now Director of g XO Strategies.
8:57
Speaker 2: And Michael Costs, the former New South Wales Treasurer. Makel
9:01
Speaker 2: cost that do you think the Avediza government set itself
9:04
Speaker 2: up to be snookered? You know, offering these ludicrously small
9:07
Speaker 2: tax cuts five dollars a week and fifteen months time,
9:11
Speaker 2: making tax the big issue, and now giving Peter Dutton
9:14
Speaker 2: tomorrow a big chance to say his budget speech. I
9:17
Speaker 2: can beig that.
9:19
Speaker 4: Well, possibly, Andrew, but let's focus on the budget for
9:22
Speaker 4: a moment there. I mean, you know, Charmers is fast
9:26
Speaker 4: becoming the sort of bag Dad Bob of fiscal policy here.
9:29
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, as you rightly pointed out, we're
9:32
Speaker 4: talking about defences for ten years, we're talking about trillion
9:35
Speaker 4: dollars worth of debt, and you know he's claiming that
9:38
Speaker 4: we've turned the corner on the economy. I heard him
9:42
Speaker 4: last night say that a number of times we turned
9:44
Speaker 4: the economy. I mean what he doesn't realize is the
9:46
Speaker 4: Attorney's made is a bloody You turn right back to
9:49
Speaker 4: the rip van Winkle years prior to you know, Hawk
9:52
Speaker 4: and Couding removing all the barriers in the economy. Now,
9:56
Speaker 4: I mean that's really got to be the focus of
9:58
Speaker 4: Dutton on these sorts of things. In terms of the
10:01
Speaker 4: tax cuts, they are pathetic. But you know, I don't
10:04
Speaker 4: have any confidence that Peter Dutton will come up with
10:06
Speaker 4: a proper strategy on this. As I said last week,
10:08
Speaker 4: the only strategy that's credible that we'll deal with the
10:12
Speaker 4: problems that we face is a pathway to tax indexation.
10:16
Speaker 4: If he comes up with six dollars or seven dollars
10:19
Speaker 4: or some ridiculous amount of money, it's not he deserves
10:23
Speaker 4: to lose. He needs to come up with a pathway
10:25
Speaker 4: to tax indexation, that's the only thing that counts. And
10:29
Speaker 4: a strategy on defense, as you rightly said, and a
10:32
Speaker 4: rejection of some of these green policies, particularly this Future
10:36
Speaker 4: Made in China fund that we've got looking at green
10:39
Speaker 4: hydrogen and quantum computers that Microsoft is already way ahead
10:44
Speaker 4: of anything that Australia could do. So really the ball
10:47
Speaker 4: is in Dutton's court tax indexation or else.
10:50
Speaker 2: I think you'll go down, Cameron Milner, what do you
10:55
Speaker 2: make Do you think that the government has snooked self
11:01
Speaker 2: with these tax cuts so little that it's inviting I
11:05
Speaker 2: would prefer, Michael said, tax indexation. Indexation of the tax
11:10
Speaker 2: rates is to stop bracket creep. But even at twenty
11:13
Speaker 2: dollars a week, tax cut could really blow labor out
11:17
Speaker 2: of the water.
11:17
Speaker 5: Now, oh look, I agree with you, Andrew, and I
11:21
Speaker 5: think Elbow's too tiny tax cut from last night was
11:25
Speaker 5: adding insult to injury for people who are suffering under
11:28
Speaker 5: the cost of living crisis that he's created. So five
11:30
Speaker 5: dollars isn't going to touch the sites. It can't even
11:32
Speaker 5: buy a mcappy meal at the at McDonald's.
11:35
Speaker 1: So no, But tomorrow night.
11:37
Speaker 5: Tomorrow night is Peter Dutton's Crocodile Dundee moment, crocodile d moment,
11:41
Speaker 5: which is that you call that a tax cut.
11:43
Speaker 2: This is a tax cut.
11:44
Speaker 5: I mean, this guy has got red carpet right out
11:47
Speaker 5: in front of him now to actually do what Australians want.
11:50
Speaker 1: And I agree with Michael.
11:51
Speaker 5: Indexation of the income tax rates would actually provide lasting
11:54
Speaker 5: relief to Australians and be meaningful tax reform and that's
11:58
Speaker 5: why Peter Dutton should do that tomorrow night.
12:01
Speaker 2: Absolutely, it's annoying you use that crocodile dundee line. I
12:05
Speaker 2: was meaning to put that in my column in the
12:07
Speaker 2: papers today and I forgot. You're both welcome to it,
12:10
Speaker 2: reminded me. Absolutely correct, Absolutely correct. But Michael, the other
12:17
Speaker 2: thing is what is the overall vision in this budget?
12:21
Speaker 2: I mean I agree with you and you agree with me.
12:24
Speaker 2: I suddenly sound like a Jared Henderson description of ABC
12:26
Speaker 2: panel that, yes, it should have been about making the
12:30
Speaker 2: country more resilient given the obvious dangers. The Treasurer himself
12:35
Speaker 2: had said in this speech and it wasn't what was
12:38
Speaker 2: the vision?
12:39
Speaker 4: Oh there was no vision Andrew, and you heard what
12:41
Speaker 4: he focused on. It was on that silly future made
12:44
Speaker 4: in Australia, which I call future made in China. I mean,
12:47
Speaker 4: you know, a green iron, what the hell is green iron?
12:51
Speaker 4: You need coke and collars. We've said on many occasions
12:53
Speaker 4: to make iron. You know hydrogen is not going to
12:56
Speaker 4: cut it. That there is nothing in this budget that
13:00
Speaker 4: is a vision for anything. And let me say it's
13:02
Speaker 4: a regressive budget in the sense that you know Labour's
13:05
Speaker 4: always supported means testing. We' still got a budget that
13:08
Speaker 4: is going to give energy relief to everybody, billionaires as
13:11
Speaker 4: well as poor people. We've got that childcare ridiculous childcare
13:15
Speaker 4: policy that goes to rich people as well. I mean,
13:18
Speaker 4: this is not a labor budget by any stretch of
13:20
Speaker 4: the imagination. The only thing that counts here is structural
13:23
Speaker 4: reform and this government's not capable of doing it because
13:26
Speaker 4: it's reversed. As I said, back to the pre Keeting
13:29
Speaker 4: hawk Keeping years. You know, the challenge for Dutton is
13:32
Speaker 4: to come up with something like that. I don't agree
13:34
Speaker 4: that just doubling the tax cut's going to do it.
13:37
Speaker 4: He needs to come up with structural reform. If he
13:39
Speaker 4: doesn't come up, you know, people are just you know,
13:41
Speaker 4: pos on both houses and vote for Albanies because he's
13:45
Speaker 4: currently there.
13:48
Speaker 2: Don't underestimate the power of a handout at all, please, Michael,
13:53
Speaker 2: You're right. Structurally that's what he probably needs to do.
13:56
Speaker 2: But if he just wants to win dollars a week
14:01
Speaker 2: might just be enough for him to do it. One
14:04
Speaker 2: good thing, one good thing Cameron about a tight election
14:09
Speaker 2: is that Labour trays just for the time of the campaign.
14:14
Speaker 2: That is to be less extreme, all better off. Unsee
14:17
Speaker 2: the elections over In this case, the Prime Minister has
14:21
Speaker 2: told Environment Minister Tenu plip Set to put a sock
14:24
Speaker 2: in it overall there. He wants to save salmon farms
14:27
Speaker 2: in Tasmani's Macquarie Harbor on the west coast and save
14:31
Speaker 2: labor seats from down there from activists wanted to shut
14:34
Speaker 2: down salmon farming that they claim is endangering a rare skate.
14:40
Speaker 2: The Greens were particularly livered today.
14:42
Speaker 1: Here they are on the eve of the election. Had
14:45
Speaker 1: you sold out your environment.
14:48
Speaker 4: Credentials, throw it outen stinking.
14:52
Speaker 6: And attention summons, salmon share hats.
14:59
Speaker 7: Young the crop from the chamber.
15:03
Speaker 2: Now, Cameron, you're an experit on crisis management and all
15:06
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff and politics as well. Would you
15:09
Speaker 2: think that stunt's going to backfar? Because I just look
15:12
Speaker 2: at that good salmon and I'm thinking absolutely yum, give
15:16
Speaker 2: me a steak from them thinking dinner time. Others will
15:19
Speaker 2: think fishing were a great industry, you know, you know
15:25
Speaker 2: it should it just be grateful labors learning around actually
15:27
Speaker 2: many votes in radical green policies. Well, as you.
15:32
Speaker 5: Say, there's obviously an election around the corner. Because the
15:34
Speaker 5: liberals have actually asked for the legislation to protect the
15:36
Speaker 5: salmon industry for three times. Three times I've asked for
15:39
Speaker 5: it and Albo stubbed them. But suddenly he's got two
15:41
Speaker 5: marginal seats in Tasmania. So for the next thirty three
15:44
Speaker 5: days he's going to be the pro salmon guy, the
15:46
Speaker 5: pro salmon guy. No, look, he was serious about this
15:49
Speaker 5: the way the greens. Seriously, if he was serious about
15:52
Speaker 5: the Greens, he'd also be protecting our coal mines, our
15:54
Speaker 5: gas reserves from the lawfare that we see these green
15:57
Speaker 5: activist groups take on our resources sector with. So no,
16:00
Speaker 5: I mean, this is a fix for thirty three days.
16:03
Speaker 5: I like salmon, You like salmon, so it's good for
16:05
Speaker 5: the industry. But in the end he was brought kicking
16:08
Speaker 5: and screaming to this decision.
16:12
Speaker 2: Mind you, it hasn't gone the whole hog. I remember then,
16:14
Speaker 2: Tony Abott when he was in tas Man. You ate
16:16
Speaker 2: an onion to prove us with the people. I think
16:19
Speaker 2: the least he could have done, true, Anthony Albandiez was
16:22
Speaker 2: stuck into some salmon. Tasmanians yummy salmon. Michael looking at
16:27
Speaker 2: all this, Yeah, obviously I don't think anyone could call
16:31
Speaker 2: it with any certainty until after Peter Dutton's speech tomorrow.
16:35
Speaker 2: I just think this is going to be this is
16:37
Speaker 2: the week that sets up the election. They'll probably call
16:39
Speaker 2: them Sunday. The budget and the reply are really going
16:42
Speaker 2: to set it up nothing before. How do you see
16:46
Speaker 2: the two parties? How do you see the election now
16:49
Speaker 2: shaping up?
16:51
Speaker 4: Well, Andrew, I haven't changed my mind on this. I
16:53
Speaker 4: think it's going to be a minority labor government. Really
16:57
Speaker 4: the issue for me is how many seats constitutions that minority.
17:01
Speaker 4: Do we end up with a situation where that the
17:04
Speaker 4: Albanese government has got to form a coalition with the
17:07
Speaker 4: Greens to get over the line, or do we end
17:09
Speaker 4: up with some situation where they can rely on one
17:12
Speaker 4: or two of the other independence to try and get
17:15
Speaker 4: their policy through. And look, I just don't think that
17:18
Speaker 4: Dutton has focused on the real cost of living. I mean,
17:21
Speaker 4: as I said last week, you know, nuclear energy is great,
17:25
Speaker 4: but it's not a.
17:25
Speaker 2: Short term solution.
17:27
Speaker 4: He needs to talk about gas. He needs to talk
17:29
Speaker 4: about keeping our coal coal fire generators going for a
17:34
Speaker 4: reasonable amount of time. I think they're being lazy on
17:37
Speaker 4: policy Andrew, and that's why I focus on pathway to
17:40
Speaker 4: tax indexation, some increase in defense spending, and doing something
17:44
Speaker 4: concrete about energy policy, not nuclear energy, you know, two
17:50
Speaker 4: decades into the future. And I think that's where he's
17:52
Speaker 4: let himself down.
17:55
Speaker 2: I will say this about the nuclear energy policy. That
17:57
Speaker 2: is actually a very good way for the liberals to
18:01
Speaker 2: say to avoid an argument about global warming. They're saying, oh, yes,
18:05
Speaker 2: this is going to be renewable, this is going to
18:08
Speaker 2: be a mission's friendly power, and so let's have an
18:12
Speaker 2: argument about that, which is the one they're more likely
18:14
Speaker 2: to win than one on global warming. Michael coffs the
18:18
Speaker 2: camera and Milner, thank you very much to you both.
18:21
Speaker 2: Free speech in our country. I'm going to show you
18:25
Speaker 2: footage from Brisbane yesterday that you won't believe. Also a
18:29
Speaker 2: warning in one photo that some people might find disturbing.
18:34
Speaker 2: Chris Elston is known online as billboard Chris huge following,
18:38
Speaker 2: is a Canadian who for four years has campaigned against
18:40
Speaker 2: giving children chemicals to stop puberty so that it can
18:44
Speaker 2: later change supposedly their gender. But what I have actually
18:49
Speaker 2: found most interesting about Billboard Chris is how people of
18:52
Speaker 2: the left react to a guy who's simply just standing
18:55
Speaker 2: there with his billboard waiting for a conversation. Your face
19:00
Speaker 2: is not screaming. The intolerance to him is absolutely extraordinary,
19:05
Speaker 2: very telling, angry leftist mobbing him, abusing him, kicking him,
19:12
Speaker 2: assaulting him with traffic cones in Melbourne in his previous tour,
19:17
Speaker 2: shouting him down.
19:23
Speaker 8: I came here from Canada just to talk to you.
19:26
Speaker 1: Go back to Canada. I'm not going anywhere.
19:37
Speaker 2: Well. Billboard Chris is now back in Australia for a
19:41
Speaker 2: court case to overturn the decision by our anti free
19:45
Speaker 2: speech e Safety Commissioner Julian Mangrant. She wanted a foce
19:51
Speaker 2: x and she did, to take down a post criticizing
19:54
Speaker 2: the World Health Organization for appointing to an expert panel
19:56
Speaker 2: an Australian woman now identify as a man after surgery,
20:02
Speaker 2: who Chris described, yes a little offensively. But yesterday, ahead
20:07
Speaker 2: of this court case Bilbil, Chris decided to chances. I
20:10
Speaker 2: am standing quietly in Brisbane's Queen Street more until suddenly
20:16
Speaker 2: police and a council worker accused him of obstructing people.
20:21
Speaker 2: Have a look yourself which people watch this fast.
20:26
Speaker 9: Obstructing or unreasonably disturbed any person lawfully using them.
20:30
Speaker 8: Okay, so I've been told that my prohibited activity is
20:35
Speaker 8: that I'm obstructing or unreasonably disturbing any person lawfully using
20:41
Speaker 8: a mall. I have absolutely done no such thing. I
20:45
Speaker 8: was standing quietly.
20:46
Speaker 1: You've got a job, and you know, move on with
20:49
Speaker 1: your wife, you know, thank you very much, appreciate it.
20:53
Speaker 2: Example of it.
20:53
Speaker 1: I have not done them all. This is because you're
20:56
Speaker 1: in this area.
20:57
Speaker 8: So this guy that just came up to her ass me,
20:59
Speaker 8: he's using that as an example of me obstructing people.
21:04
Speaker 2: Bilbil Chris refused to move, given he was clearly not
21:08
Speaker 2: obstructing people. So it got worse.
21:12
Speaker 7: Are you going to leave the area.
21:14
Speaker 1: I'm not leaving, So.
21:16
Speaker 2: As you'd be directed, I'll say, I'm not exiled to
21:18
Speaker 2: shout for christmasify PlayStations.
21:20
Speaker 1: Do you be directed?
21:21
Speaker 2: You need to leave one.
21:23
Speaker 3: Stop doing what you're doing because you're currently obstructing the
21:26
Speaker 3: mural area, which has its laws that do.
21:28
Speaker 10: Not commit this up to me.
21:30
Speaker 2: Okay, so we would now require you to leave the area.
21:34
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, So I've read the law.
21:39
Speaker 8: And I'm being told that I was obstructing people from
21:43
Speaker 8: their movement which is not true, and I'm not disturbing anyone.
21:50
Speaker 8: I stand quietly having conversations with people who approach me,
21:55
Speaker 8: and so I don't believe I'm in violation of that.
21:57
Speaker 9: You are obstructing people?
21:58
Speaker 1: Okay, So how am I obstructing people?
22:01
Speaker 2: Explained to you?
22:03
Speaker 1: Okay, Oh that was a that was a lie. But
22:06
Speaker 1: do you in life? No, I'm not leaving, so I
22:12
Speaker 1: want to arrest.
22:13
Speaker 2: You, and sure enough Billboard Cris was arrested. Welcome Chris
22:20
Speaker 2: to Australia, Land of free speech. Joining me is Billboard Cris. Chris,
22:26
Speaker 2: thank you so much for your tom What do yes
22:28
Speaker 2: did I tell you about Australia.
22:32
Speaker 8: Well, I think, first of all, I love Australia, I
22:35
Speaker 8: love the people, and I get so much support out
22:37
Speaker 8: on the streets. People see a lot of the negativity
22:40
Speaker 8: because those videos go viral, but more than ninety percent
22:42
Speaker 8: of the people had a lot of love for what
22:44
Speaker 8: I was doing and they support my mission to try
22:47
Speaker 8: to stop this child abuse. But there's certainly a bit
22:50
Speaker 8: of a nanny state going on in Australia. Censorship is
22:53
Speaker 8: much higher than back home in Canada, where I'm from,
22:57
Speaker 8: and we should be able to have conversations about anything
22:58
Speaker 8: in society, but when children are coming to permanent harm,
23:01
Speaker 8: those are conversations we especially need to have. And what
23:04
Speaker 8: was really telling about that incident yesterday was I was
23:07
Speaker 8: told I was the only person they have ever done
23:10
Speaker 8: this to on that public street, in that foot traffic
23:14
Speaker 8: mall area. Yet all sorts of other people have held
23:17
Speaker 8: signs there. They don't do anything to them. Ultimately, this
23:20
Speaker 8: is because of my message, which is very rather anodyne.
23:24
Speaker 8: It's not that offensive. I simply have a sign that
23:26
Speaker 8: says children cannot consent to puberty blockers, which is just
23:29
Speaker 8: about the most true statement you will ever hear.
23:34
Speaker 2: And you weren't changed either. What does that tell you?
23:39
Speaker 8: Right, So they did take off my signs, they forcibly
23:43
Speaker 8: removed me, and then they released me. Because I think,
23:47
Speaker 8: and I know this from experience. I've dealt with police
23:49
Speaker 8: probably three hundred times. I know that the vast majority
23:52
Speaker 8: of them agree with me. There's no such thing as
23:54
Speaker 8: a child born in the wrong body. The positive message
23:57
Speaker 8: we should be setting is that our kids are beautiful
23:58
Speaker 8: just as they are. Drugs or scalpels needed. But I
24:02
Speaker 8: think these police officers felt they were in a bind
24:04
Speaker 8: and they didn't really have a choice but to support
24:05
Speaker 8: this lying council worker. So I'm a man of integrity,
24:10
Speaker 8: as I said in my video yesterday, and I couldn't
24:13
Speaker 8: in good conscience bow down to this over his zealous
24:17
Speaker 8: use of authority. And I think we have to take
24:19
Speaker 8: a stand and we have to stand up for what's right.
24:20
Speaker 8: And I'm here standing up for the kids. I'll be
24:23
Speaker 8: representing the truth in a hearing next week, a five
24:28
Speaker 8: day hearing for a single tweet. So this is a
24:32
Speaker 8: fight for freedom of speech for Australians, and I think
24:35
Speaker 8: would be rather hypocritical for me not to stand up
24:37
Speaker 8: for freedom of speech myself when I'm out there on
24:39
Speaker 8: the streets.
24:41
Speaker 2: The indefensi of the council worker. You might have had
24:44
Speaker 2: no option but to do what he had to do,
24:48
Speaker 2: and I don't think his heart was in it. So
24:51
Speaker 2: I'm not going to call him names at all. But
24:54
Speaker 2: here's the thing, you know, to your point pro Palestinian protests,
25:00
Speaker 2: I have held a sit down in that very same
25:02
Speaker 2: mall that you were accused of obstructing traffic. They've even
25:07
Speaker 2: matched through it, causing all kinds of obstruction. You could
25:10
Speaker 2: barely move if you weren't prout of that mob. None
25:13
Speaker 2: of them are rested that I love. Do you feel
25:16
Speaker 2: picked on?
25:21
Speaker 8: No, I don't have a victimhood mentality where I ever
25:23
Speaker 8: feel picked on. This is just the state of the
25:25
Speaker 8: world today. Sometimes things are upside down, and what is
25:30
Speaker 8: bad is labeled good, what is good is labeled bad.
25:32
Speaker 8: And that's the situation with this. A lot of people
25:34
Speaker 8: have been deceived. But I'm just going to keep doing
25:38
Speaker 8: what I do. I don't approach people. I stand there quietly.
25:41
Speaker 8: It's like phishing. I stand there and I wait for
25:43
Speaker 8: someone to approach me and have a conversation. I set
25:45
Speaker 8: up my tripod out of the way on the side
25:47
Speaker 8: by a pole. I stood there quietly. The council worker
25:52
Speaker 8: actually came up to me, and he lied. He said
25:54
Speaker 8: that I'd been obstructing people's movement. He repeatedly said that
25:56
Speaker 8: I was infringing upon their movements. He said I'd stopped someone.
26:00
Speaker 8: But I record every minute of my time out there
26:01
Speaker 8: because I'm used to people lying about me. I also
26:03
Speaker 8: have to defend myself from attacks, and a camera is
26:06
Speaker 8: a good way to do that. But I'm just going
26:10
Speaker 8: to keep having one conversation at a time, because it's
26:12
Speaker 8: working and today I'm reaching millions of people every day
26:15
Speaker 8: and we are putting a stop to this in veryousjurisdictions
26:17
Speaker 8: all across the globe.
26:21
Speaker 2: Well, Chris, I really support you in this fight against
26:26
Speaker 2: the e Safety Commissioner. She's been trying through some means
26:31
Speaker 2: that in fact some criticized by tribunals, to stifle free
26:37
Speaker 2: speech on the internet. I think your case is an
26:39
Speaker 2: important one, and I'm glad that you've come back all
26:43
Speaker 2: the way from Canada to Fighters so we will be
26:46
Speaker 2: keeping a very close eye on that one as well.
26:49
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for your time, Chris Elsten. After
26:54
Speaker 2: the break, Jim Chalmers claims is going to finally stop
26:59
Speaker 2: this massive migration that's caused this terrible housing crisis. Well, unfortunately,
27:05
Speaker 2: I have very bad news. In fact, I'll expose his
27:11
Speaker 2: com back to the budget, the total bundling and the untruths.
27:20
Speaker 2: And by the way, I have just something broken about
27:23
Speaker 2: Prince Harry that I'll have later in the show. Delicious.
27:26
Speaker 2: But so much of the budget today, including included handouts
27:31
Speaker 2: to compensate for government mistakes, handouts for the electricity bills.
27:34
Speaker 2: It's made worse with global warming policies. Hand it's for
27:37
Speaker 2: renters of first home bars, for the housing cristis, the
27:40
Speaker 2: government created by importing more than a million immigrants and
27:42
Speaker 2: so on. But the Treasure today said, don't worry at
27:45
Speaker 2: least they are coming, this flood of immigrants.
27:49
Speaker 3: And we want to make sure that we manage down
27:52
Speaker 3: net overseas migration and do that in a considered, in
27:54
Speaker 3: a methodical way, which recognizes that there are genuine economic
27:58
Speaker 3: needs for migration as well, for example, a housing shortage
28:01
Speaker 3: without sufficient workers, mostly by training the workers, but also
28:05
Speaker 3: there's a role for migration, and so we're managing it
28:08
Speaker 3: down to more normal levels.
28:11
Speaker 2: To more normal levels. Well, Charmers Budget says it's now
28:16
Speaker 2: going to slash net immigration to two hundred and sixty
28:18
Speaker 2: thousand people a year, two hundred and sixty thousand, which
28:22
Speaker 2: is a couple of hundred thousand less than it was,
28:24
Speaker 2: but two hundred and sixty thousand sounds a lot, and
28:27
Speaker 2: it's in fact still nothing like normal. It's still way
28:31
Speaker 2: way way above the normal immigration levels before the pandemic,
28:35
Speaker 2: which is a third of that one third of that.
28:38
Speaker 2: Joining me is Leith for nonsenan co founder of Macro
28:41
Speaker 2: Business and a former federal Treasury official LEI thanks for
28:44
Speaker 2: joining us Labour now saying oh, we're going to cut
28:47
Speaker 2: immigration to two hundred and sixty thousand people a year.
28:49
Speaker 2: There are actually two questions about that, and the first
28:52
Speaker 2: is this to even trust it can and will do that?
28:55
Speaker 9: Oh, not a chance, Andrew. I don't trust them one bit.
28:58
Speaker 9: The reason why I don't trust him is for the
29:00
Speaker 9: last federal election, Labour said they're actually going to run
29:03
Speaker 9: a lower immigration program if elected, and instead what do
29:06
Speaker 9: they do? They held the Jobs and Skills Summit in
29:10
Speaker 9: September twenty twenty two and they use that as an
29:12
Speaker 9: excuse to ramp immigration to levels that we've never seen before.
29:16
Speaker 9: And as a result, we got one point one million
29:17
Speaker 9: net overseas migrants in only twenty seven months. So no,
29:21
Speaker 9: I don't trust Labor and Immigration. Their track record is poor.
29:24
Speaker 9: The two largest periods of immigration in Australia's history have
29:27
Speaker 9: come under labor governments, in two thousand and eight under
29:31
Speaker 9: Big Australia Kevin Rudd and surprise surprise, under the current government.
29:37
Speaker 2: Well, the second question is this, even if you did
29:39
Speaker 2: trust them, is cutting immigration to two hundred and sixty
29:43
Speaker 2: thousand over the next year. Enough is this exactly? Is
29:47
Speaker 2: this what Chalmers claims the normal level?
29:51
Speaker 9: No, absolutely, it's it's two hundred sixty thousand is big migration.
29:55
Speaker 9: It's not normal migration. Now, just to put some numbers
29:57
Speaker 9: around that, in the sixty years following World War Two,
30:01
Speaker 9: Australia average net overseas migration of less than ninety thousand
30:04
Speaker 9: a year, and over that entire sixty year period post
30:08
Speaker 9: World War Two, Australia only exceeded one hundred and fifty
30:10
Speaker 9: thousand net overseas migration in two of those years. And
30:14
Speaker 9: even in the decade before COVID, which was labeled Big Australia,
30:18
Speaker 9: Australia average less than two hundred and twenty thousand that
30:20
Speaker 9: overseas migration. So, no, Andrew turning sixty thousand is big migration,
30:24
Speaker 9: it's not normal migration.
30:28
Speaker 2: So how many people are we going to get over
30:29
Speaker 2: the next five years.
30:32
Speaker 9: Well, according to the budget, we're going to get one
30:34
Speaker 9: point eight million over the next five years. That's not
30:38
Speaker 9: just net overseas migration. That's total population growth. But as
30:41
Speaker 9: we know, that is driven by net overseas migration, and
30:44
Speaker 9: that level is obviously not going to it's going to
30:47
Speaker 9: ensure that Australia remained short of housing, it's going to
30:49
Speaker 9: remain short of infrastructure, will put pressure on our water supplies,
30:53
Speaker 9: our power supplies and our overall living standards. And it's
30:56
Speaker 9: also important to note Andrew that the Center for Population
30:59
Speaker 9: released its projections descend us SO only a few months ago,
31:02
Speaker 9: and it was even more aggressive, and it predicted that
31:05
Speaker 9: Australia is going to add four point one million people
31:07
Speaker 9: over the next ten years. So that's basically a Canberra
31:10
Speaker 9: a year for ten years. So where are all those
31:12
Speaker 9: people going to live? That's the question.
31:16
Speaker 2: Well, let me go back to that graphic, which is fascinating,
31:19
Speaker 2: driven largely by immigration. We're going to have one point
31:23
Speaker 2: eight million people over the next five years, the population
31:28
Speaker 2: of Adelaide and Canberra combined. That's what We've got to
31:31
Speaker 2: build cities as big as that essentially over the next
31:34
Speaker 2: five years, Victoria getting the most, more than half a
31:36
Speaker 2: million in just that one state alone. How does this
31:41
Speaker 2: influx of so many strangers this fast help this country.
31:45
Speaker 9: Oh, of course it's not going to help the country.
31:48
Speaker 9: It's again, it's going to ensure that this rental crisis
31:51
Speaker 9: that is at obscene levels just last month or this month,
31:55
Speaker 9: I should say, prop Track released its rental Affordability report
31:58
Speaker 9: and it said that renold afordabild at its worst level
32:01
Speaker 9: in history. Well, how are you going to help that
32:03
Speaker 9: When you're going to fire hose in an extra one
32:05
Speaker 9: point eight million people, one point four million of which
32:08
Speaker 9: are going to land in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. How's
32:12
Speaker 9: that going to help the housing crisis? Obviously, if we've
32:14
Speaker 9: got a supply issue, you don't fix that supply issue
32:17
Speaker 9: by ramping up the man and pumping more people into
32:20
Speaker 9: the supply restrict to market. That's just going to make
32:23
Speaker 9: the situation worse. This is an absolute failure from the
32:26
Speaker 9: federal government.
32:29
Speaker 2: And that's not even talking about what most politicians don't
32:31
Speaker 2: want to talk about, cohesion and community. When you invite
32:37
Speaker 2: that many people that quickly, who are strangers to this land,
32:41
Speaker 2: it's going to be a real challenge. Is already to
32:44
Speaker 2: another example of government bungling Leath Jim Chalmers was warned
32:49
Speaker 2: last year by Treasury officials that legal cigarettes already cost
32:53
Speaker 2: too much for the poor and if he raised tobacco
32:56
Speaker 2: taxes in the budget before this one, that would strengthen
32:59
Speaker 2: incentives to trade in andlicted tobacco. He ignored that advice.
33:03
Speaker 2: Federal taxes rose. They're now thirty four dollars on a
33:06
Speaker 2: fifty dollars pack of cigarettes, and so many smokers have
33:10
Speaker 2: started buying illegal tobacco instead, which is around fifteen dollars
33:14
Speaker 2: a packet. The government revenue has in fact dropped from
33:18
Speaker 2: sixteen billion dollars five years ago to eleven and a
33:22
Speaker 2: half last year. It's a just seven point four billion
33:26
Speaker 2: in last night's budget. That's a massive loss of money.
33:29
Speaker 2: But Charms still well worse than that. By the way,
33:33
Speaker 2: he's also fueled a gangland war to control the illegal
33:37
Speaker 2: tobacco trade, a war that so far had around two
33:40
Speaker 2: hundred shops around the country set on fire or smashed up,
33:44
Speaker 2: including more than one hundred and thirty in Victoria at
33:46
Speaker 2: least fourteen in Sydney. But Charmers isn't backing down, Leath.
33:50
Speaker 2: This budget is going to just spend more on law
33:52
Speaker 2: enforcement against the illegal tobacco his charms today.
33:56
Speaker 3: As it is the case, it is a problem in
33:58
Speaker 3: the budget that people are fine more ways around tobacco excise,
34:02
Speaker 3: and that's why we've invested a substantial amount of money
34:05
Speaker 3: in new resources for compliance and enforcement.
34:10
Speaker 2: If you can't get a clear example of a government
34:13
Speaker 2: law creating a crime, is this a smart response to
34:15
Speaker 2: that mistake?
34:17
Speaker 9: Look, I'll be honest, tobacco taxes are probably the biggest
34:21
Speaker 9: case of idiotic policy I think I've ever seen. You
34:23
Speaker 9: could not stuff it up even more. So let's just
34:26
Speaker 9: look at this. These taxes are driven smokers to cheaper
34:29
Speaker 9: black market alternatives, so it's resulted in worse health outcomes,
34:32
Speaker 9: restraints because it's encouragement to smoke more rather than less.
34:36
Speaker 9: They're fueled organized crime, and they've also robbed the federal
34:40
Speaker 9: budget of tax revenue billions of dollars of tax revenue.
34:44
Speaker 9: So it's basically a triple whammy here, Andrew, and the
34:48
Speaker 9: obvious policy response is to undo the damage. The way
34:51
Speaker 9: you undo that damage is you should reduce tobacco taxes
34:54
Speaker 9: to a more reasonable level so that people start buying
34:57
Speaker 9: the legal stuff rather than the illegal stuff. That would
34:59
Speaker 9: then take money out of organized crime. It should deliver
35:03
Speaker 9: the budget more money, not less. And then, and of course,
35:07
Speaker 9: you know, I do agree they should probably police the
35:09
Speaker 9: black market a bit more as well, but that's not
35:11
Speaker 9: the underlying problem. The underline problem is they've created the
35:13
Speaker 9: problem in the first place by charging two dollars of
35:16
Speaker 9: tax per dart, which has just push people to alternatives.
35:21
Speaker 2: It's just me astonishing and that muleish response. But still
35:27
Speaker 2: there you go, live Phenonsen and thank you so much
35:29
Speaker 2: for your time. After the break, more outrageous lies from
35:33
Speaker 2: Jim Tums. I'm sorry, but he tells them. We've got
35:35
Speaker 2: to correct them. Plus Palestinis in Gaza protests against i'm
35:39
Speaker 2: as terists, and you got to ask why not pro
35:42
Speaker 2: Palestinian protest is here do the same. Just to say
35:49
Speaker 2: one more thing about the treasurer. I mean the stunning
35:51
Speaker 2: lies lies. I mean, you know with Jim Chalmers, have
35:56
Speaker 2: you noticed he speaks with such certainty and polish is
36:00
Speaker 2: probably reckoned all Oh that bloke. He must really know
36:03
Speaker 2: his stuff. They're actually getting poorer thanks to him, and
36:08
Speaker 2: they still believe him. I mean, he speaks such confidence.
36:11
Speaker 2: The navies he presented this morning didn't even think to say, hello, Jim,
36:15
Speaker 2: you just told another whopper there.
36:18
Speaker 10: Next financial year, the gross debt is more than a
36:20
Speaker 10: trillion dollars.
36:21
Speaker 2: That's about a third of GDP.
36:23
Speaker 8: How's that going to be paid down?
36:25
Speaker 1: Well?
36:25
Speaker 2: First, of all the debt this year.
36:27
Speaker 3: Gross debt this year is one hundred and seventy seven
36:29
Speaker 3: billion dollars lower than when we came to office because
36:33
Speaker 3: of our efforts, and that's saving Australians tens of billions
36:36
Speaker 3: of dollars in debt interest.
36:39
Speaker 2: No debness gone up, not down, Charmsmond in his own
36:44
Speaker 2: one thing, well, it would have been much higher if
36:46
Speaker 2: it wasn't for you know me, that fat's a fact.
36:52
Speaker 2: But one other thing on this same line really got
36:56
Speaker 2: to me today Jim Chalm's National Press Club appearance. Sort
37:01
Speaker 2: Charmers claimed with total certainty for the albaniz He government's
37:06
Speaker 2: disastrous clean energy schemes. Well disastrous. Mo word is they're
37:12
Speaker 2: driving down power prices.
37:15
Speaker 3: And we are adding more cleaner and cheaper, more reliable
37:19
Speaker 3: sources of energy to the grid, and over time that
37:23
Speaker 3: will put downward pressure on prices as well.
37:26
Speaker 2: We'll just look at your bill. You know that's a
37:28
Speaker 2: lie or an ignorant mistake. I mean winness. All the
37:31
Speaker 2: power in fact, by their very nature unreliable, Jim Charmers,
37:36
Speaker 2: not reliable. No sun, no wind, no power. And that's
37:40
Speaker 2: one big reason, of course, we're everywhere around the world
37:42
Speaker 2: we see, the more that a country relies on renewable energy,
37:46
Speaker 2: the higher power prices tend to be, which is exactly
37:50
Speaker 2: not what charmers said, but it is what's happened here
37:54
Speaker 2: higher prices. But asked about those higher power prices today,
37:58
Speaker 2: Gip Charmus hold yet another lie or falsehood and again
38:00
Speaker 2: with that utter conviction blaming your col Fi generators not
38:05
Speaker 2: his green power.
38:08
Speaker 3: We know from AEMO and from the experts that one
38:11
Speaker 3: of the reasons why we've had this outward pressure is
38:14
Speaker 3: not the new parts of the system, not the clean out, cheaper,
38:17
Speaker 3: more reliable energy that we're adding to the system, but
38:20
Speaker 3: the legacy parts of the system which is becoming less
38:23
Speaker 3: reliable over time.
38:25
Speaker 2: Again bull In fact, the Australian Energy Regulator two weeks
38:30
Speaker 2: ago blame that latest jump in electricity prices on quote
38:35
Speaker 2: factors such as high demand, cold genera and network outrageous
38:39
Speaker 2: outages yes, and low solar and wind output. It also
38:45
Speaker 2: blamed low solar wind output because they are not reliable.
38:50
Speaker 2: Last year actually saw a wind drought, less wind Joamans
38:55
Speaker 2: Rondine It's are in chief of the Spectator. Australia hosts
38:58
Speaker 2: of outsiders every Sunday here at Sky News at nine
39:01
Speaker 2: am and host of his own show on Fridays at
39:04
Speaker 2: seven pm. Rowan again today charmers telling these outrageous untruth
39:10
Speaker 2: and truths that are ricking. Our power system is not
39:13
Speaker 2: picked up on them. And you wonder why that isn't
39:16
Speaker 2: a thinking Rowan Dean used to be in fact, and
39:19
Speaker 2: this is not a joke. A top advertising guru, lots
39:23
Speaker 2: of top awards. Is it the case, knowing as you
39:27
Speaker 2: had to do, casting people to tell outrageous lies about
39:30
Speaker 2: products that anyone with confidence can make you even doubt
39:34
Speaker 2: the world is round if he says it's flat.
39:40
Speaker 7: Well Andrew. What Jim Chalmers did on the floor of
39:42
Speaker 7: Parliament last night, no less, it was disgraceful as he
39:46
Speaker 7: held up a great, big, stinking rotten fish, rotten from
39:49
Speaker 7: head to tail, stinked to high heaven. Sorry, that was
39:53
Speaker 7: the budget. That was Sarah Hanson Young this morning. But
39:57
Speaker 7: what Jim Chalmers held up every bit as rotten and
40:02
Speaker 7: disgusting as the fish that Sarah Hanson Young held up.
40:05
Speaker 7: And the reason being, as you've just outlined, it's stanked
40:08
Speaker 7: from head to high heaven to high heavens, and people
40:11
Speaker 7: all around the country are going, oh dear, oh dear,
40:13
Speaker 7: I'm not sure about that. And yes, Andrew, you can
40:17
Speaker 7: have There's no question that Jim Chalmers is a attractive
40:19
Speaker 7: looking man, and he's a good presenter, and he speaks
40:22
Speaker 7: well and presents himself well. But as an advertising person,
40:26
Speaker 7: let me tell you, you can have the best salesman in
40:29
Speaker 7: the world. But if your product is a stinking, rotten,
40:33
Speaker 7: old bit of carper, an old bit of fish, you
40:35
Speaker 7: will not be able to sell it for long. The
40:38
Speaker 7: stench will get out there, people will recoil, people will
40:41
Speaker 7: not listen to the charming salesman because what he's selling
40:45
Speaker 7: is rotten to the bone. The problem here, Andrew, is
40:50
Speaker 7: only we've got an election in a couple of weeks.
40:53
Speaker 7: And here is the big gamble that labor are taking.
40:56
Speaker 7: They're hoping that this rotten fish will still fresh in
41:01
Speaker 7: three or four weeks and the public won't have seen
41:03
Speaker 7: how disgusting and how frail and how empty and what
41:07
Speaker 7: a rotten than maggot ridden lot of lies it is.
41:10
Speaker 7: And so they are gambling that they can push their
41:13
Speaker 7: way with salesmanship through to the election. But it is
41:16
Speaker 7: a rotten product. Andrew it's rotten to the core. Every
41:19
Speaker 7: element of it is disgraceful. Trillion dollars debts, five buck handouts.
41:24
Speaker 7: I mean, it's insulting to the public. It's insulting to
41:28
Speaker 7: the taxpayer. And worse, far, far worse than that is
41:32
Speaker 7: this trillion dollar debt is a mill around there, a
41:36
Speaker 7: millstone around the neck of our children, their children and
41:39
Speaker 7: their children for decades to come. We're going to be
41:41
Speaker 7: paying this so off and what have we got for it?
41:45
Speaker 2: Nothing? I know. It's honestly, it's such a crying waste
41:52
Speaker 2: of money. And I won't be paying for it rown
41:55
Speaker 2: I'll be long retired, and this is the tragedy It'll
41:58
Speaker 2: be the kids are left to pay for you know,
42:01
Speaker 2: their parents, having voted labor and voted for Jim Charmers
42:05
Speaker 2: to do this to them, they will be paying for it. Roan,
42:08
Speaker 2: I'm really sorry I went overboard with Billboard Chris, so
42:12
Speaker 2: I'm short of time this week. I hope to make
42:15
Speaker 2: it up to you next week. I apologize.
42:17
Speaker 7: Yeah, I thought I was always happy to make grown
42:19
Speaker 7: for Billboard Chris.
42:20
Speaker 1: He's a legend.
42:23
Speaker 2: I'll tell him that. Thank you, mate. I got to
42:26
Speaker 2: say before I go by the way amazing scenes in Gaza.
42:29
Speaker 2: It's still effectively run by Hamas terrorists. But some brave
42:32
Speaker 2: Palestinians in the north had a protest saying down with Hamas,
42:37
Speaker 2: they're terrorists. I thought they were extremely brave. But I
42:42
Speaker 2: do wonder how many of the pro Palastinian protests that
42:45
Speaker 2: will turn out again next weekend are going to support
42:48
Speaker 2: them and chart that Hamas, Yes they are terrorists and
42:52
Speaker 2: they should surrender for the sake of Palestinians. Would count
42:56
Speaker 2: my breath for that. After the break, Prince Harry, my
43:01
Speaker 2: goodness me, has he been just served up a little
43:04
Speaker 2: bit of what has been dishing out. Prince Harry has
43:13
Speaker 2: found himself in the middle of a racism rale, A
43:15
Speaker 2: bit like he landed his own the one he landed
43:18
Speaker 2: his own family in. I mean he last night announced
43:20
Speaker 2: it's going to step down from his own charity in
43:23
Speaker 2: the Sofa. I think he also does work in Botswana.
43:26
Speaker 2: It's a charity credit in honor of his mother. The
43:30
Speaker 2: thing is the chairwoman's in a broad with the trustees,
43:32
Speaker 2: all very nasty accusations on all sides. Well, she seems
43:36
Speaker 2: a bit of a piece of work, but anyway, she
43:41
Speaker 2: denies that. Doctor Sophie Chandalka. She says herself, my actions
43:46
Speaker 2: are guided by the principles of fairness and equitable treatment
43:49
Speaker 2: for all, regardless of social status or financial means. The
43:54
Speaker 2: little dig at the prince there, she says, there are
43:56
Speaker 2: people in this world behave as though they are above
43:59
Speaker 2: the law well and mistreat people and then play the
44:02
Speaker 2: victim card, and they use the very press they disdain.
44:06
Speaker 2: Remember all Harry's battles with the media to harm people
44:10
Speaker 2: who have the courage to challenge their conduct hostly, the
44:17
Speaker 2: kind of sliming that he did to his own family
44:19
Speaker 2: almost in every detail. Joining me and Louise Roberts, Scarney
44:22
Speaker 2: has contributed in communications because Christy Matsweeney, who has worked
44:26
Speaker 2: for coolishi prime ministers and premiers and would have worked
44:29
Speaker 2: for Harry if he'd only asked the Christie is speaking of.
44:33
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know the ins and outs of
44:36
Speaker 2: who'd done what to whom, But I suspect Harry is
44:39
Speaker 2: not guilty of racism, etcetera, etcetera. But boys either a
44:43
Speaker 2: lesson how easy it is to smear the innocent.
44:48
Speaker 6: Well, I suspect he's not guilty either, And you know
44:52
Speaker 6: African politics, Andrew. It's a really interesting framework they operate
44:59
Speaker 6: in over there. But of course, you know, once you
45:02
Speaker 6: open yourself up to utilizing the press at the same
45:06
Speaker 6: time as suggesting that you don't want anything to do
45:09
Speaker 6: with them in multiple continents. Of course, people who have
45:13
Speaker 6: an axe to grind against you have plenty of material
45:18
Speaker 6: to put out there to grind that axe and to
45:22
Speaker 6: put their case forward. Look, if I was Harry, I'd
45:25
Speaker 6: stay well clear of any significant African organizations. The politics
45:32
Speaker 6: of Africa and how they operate at the top level
45:34
Speaker 6: of society is well known to be really difficult. I'd
45:38
Speaker 6: stay out of this stoushpels Harry.
45:42
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know, there's some unions here that could
45:44
Speaker 2: give it a run for its money.
45:46
Speaker 6: I tell you, yes, yeah, it's the wharf is a
45:50
Speaker 6: run for their.
45:51
Speaker 2: Money, absolutely, Luis. I mean, Harry just had the race
45:57
Speaker 2: card pulled on him, the privileged card pull on him,
46:00
Speaker 2: and the class you know, the wealth card pulled on him.
46:04
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just karma, isn't it.
46:06
Speaker 1: It is.
46:07
Speaker 10: I mean, given that what he said in that OPRAH interview,
46:09
Speaker 10: as did Meghan, of course, and for me, the most
46:12
Speaker 10: egregious part of This is the fact that the racism
46:14
Speaker 10: claims that have been left to sort of fester around
46:18
Speaker 10: his father and also around Kate Middleton regards any questions
46:22
Speaker 10: that may or may not have risen around the color
46:24
Speaker 10: of Archie's skin when he was born. Harry's never addressed
46:28
Speaker 10: these or sought to exonerate any member of his family.
46:31
Speaker 10: So you know, the tail has wagged the dog, so
46:33
Speaker 10: to speak. It's come back to bite him in a way.
46:35
Speaker 10: And perhaps there's some people who are now taking advantage
46:39
Speaker 10: of this, as this charity director obviously is.
46:44
Speaker 2: I think so boys she'd taken to it with a stick.
46:48
Speaker 2: I couldn't help but think I was in a bunch
46:51
Speaker 2: of lock up yesterday, so I didn't have a show
46:53
Speaker 2: last night, but I've got I couldn't get to comment
46:56
Speaker 2: on this, which really struck me about the pawling teal
46:58
Speaker 2: Independent Monique Ryan of Cuong Now when her husband, who
47:02
Speaker 2: has caught this week's stealing campaign sign of the liberal
47:05
Speaker 2: candidate Emelia Hamer, Ryan quickly issued a short written statement apologizing.
47:11
Speaker 2: But how sorry was she really? Because I think, to
47:13
Speaker 2: judge from an angry reaction yesterday the journalists where she
47:17
Speaker 2: finally popped up and she wasn't really have a look
47:19
Speaker 2: at this?
47:21
Speaker 6: Can I ask you what do you think of your
47:23
Speaker 6: husband's decision to remove the liberal candidate sign in coung I.
47:27
Speaker 4: Don't have a comment for you comment on that matter.
47:29
Speaker 2: If already thank you?
47:30
Speaker 10: Do you think that was an appropriate thing to do?
47:32
Speaker 4: Could you please get your cameras away from me?
47:36
Speaker 2: Talk to the hand. I'm a bit out short of time, ladies,
47:39
Speaker 2: But first to you, Christy, was that a sorry woman
47:42
Speaker 2: you saw? Just the woman sorry her husband was caught?
47:46
Speaker 6: Well, I think it's a woman who says, how dare
47:48
Speaker 6: you ask me these questions? I've made one comment, Well, Wannick,
47:52
Speaker 6: if you want to go to federal Parliament and on
47:54
Speaker 6: integrity and transparent parency, guess what if you're a federal
47:57
Speaker 6: impaid you interact with the press, particularly when you are
48:01
Speaker 6: in the wrong of such an egregeous nature. I mean
48:04
Speaker 6: that viral footage. Come on, have a sense of humor
48:08
Speaker 6: and do your job properly and interact with the media.
48:13
Speaker 2: Louise, what did you make of that reaction?
48:15
Speaker 10: Well, if it had been the spouse of a liberal
48:18
Speaker 10: candidate tearing down the sign of fatil candidate, don't you
48:21
Speaker 10: think that Monique and her trible to come after them
48:23
Speaker 10: with all guns blazing. So this has been dismissed as
48:26
Speaker 10: a bit of a there.
48:26
Speaker 2: Oh goodness me yes, so true, so true, Christop McSweeney,
48:33
Speaker 2: Louise Roberts, I'm sorry is so short to more time
48:36
Speaker 2: next week and promising that to everyone. That's it for me.
