Speaker 1: Live on Sky News.
0:03
Speaker 2: This is Sharry Good Evening.
0:07
Speaker 3: One Nation's Fire the Layer campaign. It ticks over one
0:11
Speaker 3: point one four million dollars and the man behind this
0:16
Speaker 3: genius campaign to boot Albanezi from the lodge, James Ashby,
0:20
Speaker 3: will join me live in a moment. Mikhaylia kash has
0:24
Speaker 3: gone viral pushing back against potential pregnancy and tonight she
0:29
Speaker 3: fires back at Anthony Albanizi for calling this.
0:32
Speaker 2: A culture war. She's on the show.
0:35
Speaker 3: And a humiliating ruling for nine newspapers with the Press
0:38
Speaker 3: Council finding that Kathy Wilcox her cartoon was anti semitic.
0:43
Speaker 3: That's coming up, but let's start with this Fire the
0:47
Speaker 3: Layer campaign by One Nation that's taken off. With the
0:51
Speaker 3: current tally at one point one four million dollars in
0:55
Speaker 3: donations raised.
0:57
Speaker 2: This in just twenty four hours.
1:00
Speaker 3: This is a spectacular own goal for Labor. Labour had
1:04
Speaker 3: launched a campaign to collect donations to campaign against Pauline Hansen.
1:09
Speaker 3: They were asking the public to donate twenty seven dollars
1:12
Speaker 3: each to fight one Nation, and this came after One
1:16
Speaker 3: Nation overtook Labor in Monday's news poll. Well, Pauline's chief
1:21
Speaker 3: of staff James Ashby decided to launch his own campaign,
1:27
Speaker 3: copying the identical branding, and he dubbed it a fire
1:32
Speaker 3: the Liar campaign. Now you heard about this first right
1:37
Speaker 3: here last night when the Daily Telegraph editor Ben English
1:42
Speaker 3: showed us his front page today.
1:45
Speaker 4: And then we've got a sequel tomorrow which you'll come to,
1:47
Speaker 4: and I said, let's have a look at it. They
1:48
Speaker 4: have basically taken the exact dad and almost on a
1:51
Speaker 4: fact simile.
1:54
Speaker 3: One Nation is asking for twenty nine dollars in donations
1:58
Speaker 3: just twenty nine the Albanese government from office, and as
2:02
Speaker 3: we said, extraordinarily they've hit one point one million dollars.
2:08
Speaker 3: And while membership of the Liberal Party and Labor Party
2:11
Speaker 3: has been diminishing well basically collapsing for years, One Nation
2:16
Speaker 3: signed up many new members today. It shows politics can
2:22
Speaker 3: still resonate with people. It just has to be the
2:25
Speaker 3: right fit, the right momentum.
2:29
Speaker 2: Now.
2:29
Speaker 3: Pauline hit out at Albanezi in a social media post.
2:34
Speaker 3: She said, albow in his MPs lie and cheat Assie's
2:39
Speaker 3: out of home ownership, a decent standard of living and
2:42
Speaker 3: a comfortable retirement. One Nation has proven we can win
2:46
Speaker 3: lower house seats, so it's time to target labor held seats.
2:52
Speaker 3: This is part of her campaign. Well, the Prime Minister
2:56
Speaker 3: is clearly furious about being dubbed a liar.
3:00
Speaker 5: I'll leave Paully Hanson who engage in negative activity. What
3:04
Speaker 5: I'm doing here is actually doing something real for people.
3:09
Speaker 5: And that's the difference. Promoting division takes the country nowhere.
3:18
Speaker 3: And behind the scenes. I'm told he's pretty cranky about this.
3:22
Speaker 3: But is he really surprised at being called a liar?
3:26
Speaker 2: I mean, he shouldn't be angry.
3:28
Speaker 3: What can he expect when he repeatedly has misled the
3:32
Speaker 3: Australian public. And here are just some examples.
3:37
Speaker 5: We're hearing that an asylum secret voat has arrived off
3:39
Speaker 5: to the Western Australian coastline.
3:41
Speaker 6: Do you know anything about that?
3:43
Speaker 5: I've been traveling in the car, so I haven't been
3:49
Speaker 5: advised about that.
3:51
Speaker 7: I refer to reports in the Australian that government officials
3:54
Speaker 7: are helping to.
3:55
Speaker 8: Bring ISIS terrorist brides to Australia.
3:57
Speaker 5: Those reports are not accurate. I stepped back one step.
4:04
Speaker 9: I didn't fall off the stage.
4:05
Speaker 10: Heckler's have booed the Prime Minister Anthony ALBERANIZI.
4:15
Speaker 5: Not a single person. Heckel reducing power prices by two
4:19
Speaker 5: hundred and seventy five dollars.
4:22
Speaker 2: And on it goes.
4:24
Speaker 3: I mean, given his own record, albanize he can hardly
4:27
Speaker 3: express outrage when one nation launches a campaign calling him
4:31
Speaker 3: a liar and wanting to fire him. I said last night,
4:35
Speaker 3: it's a catchy phrase and I think it'll stick because
4:38
Speaker 3: it resonates. And the backlash to Albanese's handling of the
4:43
Speaker 3: economy and his failure of leadership is only growing stronger
4:48
Speaker 3: by the day. High profile stockbroker Anger z Aitken is
4:53
Speaker 3: among those who've spoken out against the PM. Just today,
4:57
Speaker 3: Anger said albo is the worst Prime Minister in my memory,
5:02
Speaker 3: and it's hard to believe anyone could be worse than
5:04
Speaker 3: Malcolm Turnbull's PM, but he is. He has absolutely ruined
5:09
Speaker 3: Australia to the point where flying an Australian flag is
5:13
Speaker 3: in some way back. And angus Aken has donated around
5:18
Speaker 3: one million dollars to one nation, and it's because he
5:21
Speaker 3: argues that our nation needs a massive reset, both cultural
5:25
Speaker 3: and economic.
5:27
Speaker 2: He says, when all.
5:29
Speaker 3: Of those pro Palestine rallies were happening, you could feel
5:32
Speaker 3: people going what the has Australia turned into then you
5:38
Speaker 3: have the Bond Eyed terror attack and letting in Isis Brides,
5:42
Speaker 3: the shocking treatment of veterans, and you add a budget
5:45
Speaker 3: that will hurt every hard working Australian. Well, he pretty
5:50
Speaker 3: much sums it up there. And Angus held a recent
5:52
Speaker 3: dinner for Hansen and there was reportedly, according to Janet
5:56
Speaker 3: or Brexton in The Australian Today, reportedly close to ninety
5:59
Speaker 3: billion dollars of wealth around the table. Well, one nation
6:04
Speaker 3: clearly has the momentum behind them and the money is flowing.
6:09
Speaker 3: And now Pauline is looking at running in a lower
6:12
Speaker 3: House seat and I'm told they've done polling in the
6:15
Speaker 3: Labor seat of Blair which indicates that Pauline would win
6:20
Speaker 3: easily against Labor and p Shane Newman. So watch this
6:24
Speaker 3: space and James Ashby will be on the show shortly
6:28
Speaker 3: with more. Now, you might remember this offensive cartoon by
6:36
Speaker 3: Kathy Wilcox that ran in the City Morning Herald and
6:39
Speaker 3: the age it shows the campaign for the Royal Commission
6:42
Speaker 3: and at the top is you can kind of see
6:45
Speaker 3: there on top of the if we can maybe keep
6:47
Speaker 3: the cartoon on the screen on top of the grass
6:50
Speaker 3: you can see that's lawyers, business executives and sporting greats
6:54
Speaker 3: all lobbying the Prime Minister to do the right thing,
6:58
Speaker 3: the decent thing and call a Royal commission after the
7:01
Speaker 3: worst terror attack on Australian soil. Well under that grass,
7:06
Speaker 3: you can see there that Kathy Wilcox depicted Jillian Siegel,
7:11
Speaker 3: Rupert Murdoch, politicians like David Littlproud and others as being
7:17
Speaker 3: behind the campaign. And then to the right is Israeli
7:21
Speaker 3: Prime Minister Benjamin Nedinyahoo beating a drum, so saying that
7:25
Speaker 3: all of this was to the drumbeat of nedin Yahoo. Now,
7:30
Speaker 3: of course the push for a Royal commission had nothing
7:34
Speaker 3: to do with Israel or nedin Yahoo. There was a
7:38
Speaker 3: genuine ground swell of support for a Royal commission from
7:42
Speaker 3: all Australians, Australians who wanted answers about how the anti
7:47
Speaker 3: Semitism crisis got to the horrendous point where fifteen people,
7:51
Speaker 3: including a Holocaust survivor and a child were killed at
7:56
Speaker 3: Bondai Beach while peacefully celebrating. This cartoon was so offensive
8:03
Speaker 3: that many people complained to the Herald because it was
8:07
Speaker 3: offensive to all Australians who called for a royal commission,
8:11
Speaker 3: but The Herald and the Age initially refused to apologize
8:16
Speaker 3: to readers. In fact, on the day the cartoon was published,
8:20
Speaker 3: the editors sent a note to readers that said this,
8:24
Speaker 3: Our cartoons are always intended to engage seriously and meaningfully
8:29
Speaker 3: with a significant issue in the news. Cartoons present perspective
8:33
Speaker 3: and by their nature, elicit a wide range of responses
8:36
Speaker 3: from readers. This cartoon was not intended to offend, but
8:40
Speaker 3: rather explore the intense debate about calls for a royal
8:45
Speaker 3: commission following the Vondai terror attack. Well, that could be
8:50
Speaker 3: all very well, except there was no debate. No one
8:53
Speaker 3: was against it except for the Prime Minister himself, who
8:57
Speaker 3: wanted to protect his own skin politically rather than do
9:01
Speaker 3: the right thing. He was worried, I'm told that the
9:06
Speaker 3: Royal Commission was going to run into the federal election
9:09
Speaker 3: campaign because royal commissions usually last several years. So when
9:14
Speaker 3: Albanezi was backed into a corner, he eventually called one,
9:18
Speaker 3: but with the caveat that it had to report by
9:22
Speaker 3: the first anniversary of the attack, it would run for
9:26
Speaker 3: less than a year, making it one of the shortest
9:28
Speaker 3: royal commissions in history.
9:31
Speaker 2: But back to the cartoon.
9:33
Speaker 3: The Herald as usual got it utterly wrong, morally wrong,
9:38
Speaker 3: and the Press Council today ruled that it considers this
9:42
Speaker 3: imagery encodes the anti Semitic trope that Jewish people secretly
9:46
Speaker 3: control or manipulate global events, government's financial systems, or the media.
9:53
Speaker 3: The Council considers this imagery was likely to cause or
9:56
Speaker 3: contribute to substantial offense, distress and prejudice, particularly to those
10:03
Speaker 3: who are Jewish.
10:04
Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you one thing.
10:07
Speaker 3: This is a conclusion that is so obvious that this
10:10
Speaker 3: cartoon was offensive that it shouldn't have taken the Press
10:13
Speaker 3: Council to tell the nine newspapers that it was offensive.
10:18
Speaker 3: That editors should have known this, and it's an abomination
10:23
Speaker 3: that they didn't. All right, well, let's bring in the
10:31
Speaker 3: mastermind now behind the fire the layer fundraiser One Nation
10:35
Speaker 3: Chief of Staff James Ashby, live in Perth. James, Look,
10:40
Speaker 3: this is extraordinary. Let's bring the ticker at the tally
10:43
Speaker 3: up again. If we can one point one four million
10:47
Speaker 3: dollars and rising. Did you ever imagine raising this sort
10:51
Speaker 3: of money in a day.
10:54
Speaker 11: I'll be honest, Shari. I set the goal for the
10:56
Speaker 11: end of the financial year, so.
10:58
Speaker 1: We've eclipsed that.
10:59
Speaker 11: We've blitzed it, to be honest, but I was angry
11:01
Speaker 11: yesterday when I was on the highway and I heard
11:04
Speaker 11: about this campaign that Labor were running. Anthony Abernezi was
11:07
Speaker 11: raising money off the back of Pauline Hanson and just
11:10
Speaker 11: saying that she shouldn't be allowed to win any more
11:12
Speaker 11: seats or capitalize off the success that we had in Pharah,
11:16
Speaker 11: and I thought, well, if you're going to make money
11:18
Speaker 11: off this, I know Pauline found it disappointing that Labor
11:21
Speaker 11: we're trying to fleece money out of people for a
11:24
Speaker 11: campaign to run against us. But I thought, you know,
11:26
Speaker 11: we've got to fight fire with fire because this next election.
11:29
Speaker 11: Labor have no problems in telling lies outside of an
11:34
Speaker 11: election cycle, when it comes to budgets or whether it
11:37
Speaker 11: comes to policy. And I thought, you know, with all
11:40
Speaker 11: this money they're likely to raise, they're going to be
11:43
Speaker 11: able to tell a whole lot more lies. And I
11:45
Speaker 11: thought we've got to push back against it. And that's
11:48
Speaker 11: precisely where Fire the Liar came from, and we ran it.
11:52
Speaker 11: We put this campaign together within six hours yesterday.
11:55
Speaker 3: It's amazing and I just checked again and it's actually
11:57
Speaker 3: now one point seven million dollars in ten minutes since
12:01
Speaker 3: I started the show, another thirty grand from punters around
12:05
Speaker 3: the country who were donating. Now I understand that the
12:09
Speaker 3: Albanezi government made false claims to journalists in the camera
12:13
Speaker 3: press gallery today that your counter was fake and you
12:18
Speaker 3: had to put these journalists in touch with your IT team.
12:21
Speaker 2: Can you tell us what happened?
12:25
Speaker 1: Well?
12:25
Speaker 11: Albanizi was backgrounding journalists in Canberra basically saying that the
12:31
Speaker 11: money that has been raised by every day Mum and
12:33
Speaker 11: Dad Ossie's out there who've just had a gutful of
12:36
Speaker 11: this prime minister. He's backgrounding them saying that the counter
12:39
Speaker 11: was fake. We then had Sam Maiden, who good honor
12:43
Speaker 11: for doing her work, and James Massola.
12:45
Speaker 1: For coming and asking those questions.
12:47
Speaker 11: But to be able to put them directly in touch
12:49
Speaker 11: with our IT department where they were able to understand
12:52
Speaker 11: how the back end of this system worked is pretty straightforward.
12:56
Speaker 11: Just because the Labor Party don't have this technology doesn't
12:59
Speaker 11: mean one nation. So it was great to put that
13:02
Speaker 11: to bed and I hope that there's no skullduggery tomorrow
13:06
Speaker 11: in the media where they say this is all fake.
13:08
Speaker 11: It's all legitimate, and our zero accounts department was in
13:14
Speaker 11: overdrive today because everybody who makes a donation, I'd encourage
13:18
Speaker 11: you to test this system.
13:19
Speaker 1: Go and donate twenty bucks.
13:21
Speaker 11: You'll see exactly how it works because you get the
13:23
Speaker 11: receipts straight away from zero.
13:25
Speaker 3: So just to be very clear, the Albanezy government was
13:29
Speaker 3: clutching at straws.
13:31
Speaker 2: It's not fake. All the donations today genuine.
13:34
Speaker 11: Yeah, yep, one hundred per cent genuine. We're running a
13:38
Speaker 11: campaign saying fire the liar. What good would we be
13:43
Speaker 11: if we were lying ourselves? That just doesn't make sense,
13:46
Speaker 11: ol Bow, do better homework before you go on background
13:50
Speaker 11: journalists with this rubbish now.
13:53
Speaker 3: I reported on the show last night that senior coalition
13:56
Speaker 3: figures are worried that one nation is targeting their seats
13:59
Speaker 3: and not labor seats, and they say that you can't
14:02
Speaker 3: get the alban Ezy government out of the office, you
14:04
Speaker 3: can't fare a layer if you like, unless you win
14:08
Speaker 3: labor seats. What's your response to this, Are you going
14:11
Speaker 3: to target labor seats?
14:14
Speaker 1: Oh? One hundred percent?
14:15
Speaker 11: This is a small kiddy that will go towards a
14:18
Speaker 11: very big camp playing we hope in twenty twenty eight.
14:21
Speaker 11: Unless Albanezy gets chicken and goes early, he could do that.
14:25
Speaker 1: But the thing that.
14:26
Speaker 11: We're looking at is trying to wipe out labor. This
14:29
Speaker 11: is the most treacherous government that we've ever seen. Certainly
14:32
Speaker 11: in my lifetime on forty seven, I've not lived through
14:35
Speaker 11: any worser government. Certainly older people may have, but the
14:39
Speaker 11: reality is I think this is the worst government in
14:41
Speaker 11: many people's living history, and that means we've got to
14:44
Speaker 11: target labor seats. I said that to Jess Wang, who
14:47
Speaker 11: did the story in the Daily Telegraph. I said that
14:50
Speaker 11: to Ben Fordham this morning. This is about going after
14:53
Speaker 11: labor seats. If we're to get rid of this dreadful government,
14:56
Speaker 11: we've going to target them, and Elbows will be one
14:59
Speaker 11: of them. Chris Owens will be another Madeline king here
15:02
Speaker 11: in Western Australia.
15:02
Speaker 1: I think it's got to go.
15:04
Speaker 11: I think we should be targeting these ministers who've let
15:07
Speaker 11: us down as a country, and we'll go full throttle.
15:10
Speaker 11: The more money we collect from this via the LA campaign,
15:13
Speaker 11: I know we aim for a million, were well over
15:14
Speaker 11: that now, the more money we collect from it. We're
15:17
Speaker 11: coming after these treacherous Labor Front ministers who've just ballsed
15:22
Speaker 11: up this entire economy.
15:25
Speaker 3: Pauline is said to be looking at three seats to
15:28
Speaker 3: run in herself, right, Capricornia and Blair. But out of
15:33
Speaker 3: those seats, James Blair is the only seat held by
15:36
Speaker 3: a Labor and Pete so is that the one she's
15:38
Speaker 3: planning on running it?
15:42
Speaker 11: Well, she hasn't made that decision, but it certainly plays
15:45
Speaker 11: to her favor given that she once held the seat
15:48
Speaker 11: of Oxley and it's right there in her neck of
15:51
Speaker 11: the woods.
15:52
Speaker 1: She lives in that area.
15:53
Speaker 11: So don't put it past Pauline to make that decision
15:55
Speaker 11: in the next twelve months. We're not in any rush,
15:58
Speaker 11: but the reality is going after labor seats and guests
16:02
Speaker 11: who's been very very very quick to come out and
16:05
Speaker 11: criticize this campaign.
16:06
Speaker 1: Shane Newman in that seat of Blair.
16:09
Speaker 3: So he said he said that One Nation is simplistic
16:13
Speaker 3: nonsense that would send Australia bankrupt. Well potentially that's what
16:18
Speaker 3: his own government is doing right now.
16:20
Speaker 2: Now.
16:20
Speaker 3: I'm told you're polling One Nation. Polling shows that Pauline
16:24
Speaker 3: would win easily against Shane Yuman. Can you confirm that
16:28
Speaker 3: you have done polling in the seed of Blair.
16:32
Speaker 1: I haven't seen that polling. Sarie.
16:34
Speaker 11: Look, Labor are on the ropes. It doesn't matter which
16:38
Speaker 11: seat you look at. That has been traditionally quite favorable
16:42
Speaker 11: towards Labor. Obviously, that set of Blair, it's been hard
16:45
Speaker 11: for anyone to be able to move them. The Coalition
16:47
Speaker 11: certainly haven't been able to. But it's, as I say,
16:50
Speaker 11: it's home territory for Pauline. A fish and chip shop
16:52
Speaker 11: was down the road from there, and there's a lot
16:54
Speaker 11: of fond memories for people who live in that seat
16:56
Speaker 11: of Blair. So yeah, it could be possible, but that's
16:59
Speaker 11: for Pauline to make that decision, and she'll do it
17:01
Speaker 11: within the next twelve months.
17:02
Speaker 12: Yea.
17:03
Speaker 3: Now, the Prime Minister was asked about this fire the
17:05
Speaker 3: Layer campaign today.
17:06
Speaker 2: I played his comments a moment ago.
17:09
Speaker 3: He said Pauline was engaging in negative activity. Direct quote
17:13
Speaker 3: from him, what do you say tonight to the Prime Minister, Well.
17:19
Speaker 11: The Prime Minister launched the first punch, you know, he
17:22
Speaker 11: threw the first punch and we just retaliated.
17:24
Speaker 1: So his negative.
17:26
Speaker 11: Campaign is actually backfired because we leant into his negative
17:30
Speaker 11: campaign and we we've albo We've made over.
17:34
Speaker 1: A million dollars. Thank you. This was an own goal
17:36
Speaker 1: on your behalf.
17:37
Speaker 11: And I would just simply say, if the Prime Minister
17:40
Speaker 11: wants to try these negative campaigns and come after Pauline
17:43
Speaker 11: Hanson or Barnaby Joyce or any one of our members,
17:46
Speaker 11: we're coming after you. That is my number one goal.
17:49
Speaker 11: The Prime Minister gone at the next election, and every
17:52
Speaker 11: Australian who backs his campaign caressed assured that money will
17:56
Speaker 11: go towards getting rid of labor.
18:00
Speaker 2: Very quickly.
18:01
Speaker 3: James, I mean you've worked for Pauline how many years now, decades,
18:06
Speaker 3: that's been eleven.
18:07
Speaker 1: Eleven no longer service leave, Yet she keeps.
18:10
Speaker 2: Take it now you can't taken out take it.
18:13
Speaker 1: I'm not allowed to take it.
18:14
Speaker 3: Why do you think why do you think We've heard
18:17
Speaker 3: the views of others like Barnaby Jos, but why do
18:19
Speaker 3: you think there's this sudden ground swell of support for Pauline.
18:24
Speaker 11: Well, as we saw when we got off the plane
18:27
Speaker 11: in Perth. Here today, I think that you know, I'm
18:30
Speaker 11: not talking about Sky here, I'm talking about mainstream media.
18:34
Speaker 11: There is just this distrust from the public and we
18:37
Speaker 11: saw that. If you want to go and see what
18:39
Speaker 11: happened when we got off the plane in Perth, go
18:41
Speaker 11: to Pauline's Facebook page. But the reality is people don't
18:44
Speaker 11: have trust in our mainstream media. But they also don't
18:47
Speaker 11: have trust in the politicians that have led us to
18:50
Speaker 11: the trillion dollars worth.
18:52
Speaker 1: A debt that we're facing right now.
18:54
Speaker 11: And it's it's been felt by people right across this country.
18:57
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter where your middle, low class or upperpass.
19:01
Speaker 11: Everyone's feeling this, and in particular business people, but every
19:05
Speaker 11: one of those people who are on low income wages,
19:09
Speaker 11: they just can't keep up with the costs that have
19:11
Speaker 11: been driven by this government. You know, this whole green
19:13
Speaker 11: dream has just sent this country backwards. We don't have industry,
19:17
Speaker 11: we don't have manufacturing, and we're seeing just the way
19:22
Speaker 11: our all right, the households are living today.
19:25
Speaker 1: It's all poorer.
19:26
Speaker 2: James.
19:26
Speaker 3: Let me tell you you've now ticked over one point
19:29
Speaker 3: two million is checked on my laptop, So there you go,
19:32
Speaker 3: one point two unbelievable.
19:34
Speaker 1: Well done, All right, done Australia.
19:36
Speaker 3: Thanks for your time, and let's bring in our former
19:40
Speaker 3: Labor and p Michael Dwanby and former Victorian Liberal Party
19:43
Speaker 3: president Michael Kroger. The two Michaels tonight look in face
19:48
Speaker 3: of this upsurge and support for One Nation. The new
19:52
Speaker 3: Liberal Party federal president Tony Abbott says that the Liberals
19:55
Speaker 3: need to.
19:55
Speaker 2: Offer a better product.
19:57
Speaker 3: He said that they've made a good start Angus Taylor,
20:01
Speaker 3: but if the polls are to be believed, there's quite
20:03
Speaker 3: a long way to go.
20:04
Speaker 2: Starting with you, Michael Kroeger.
20:05
Speaker 3: If voters are turning to One Nation, you know, because
20:09
Speaker 3: they're sick of the UNI Party so to speak, how
20:12
Speaker 3: can the coalition get them to return?
20:17
Speaker 7: So you can't just be managers and that's the main
20:20
Speaker 7: criticism of us between thirteen and twenty two. Secondly, you
20:24
Speaker 7: have to accept the fact that over sixty percent of
20:26
Speaker 7: the country not only think it's going in the wrong direction,
20:28
Speaker 7: they want radical change. They want to shake up. In
20:30
Speaker 7: that poll on Monday, they want things to seriously change
20:33
Speaker 7: in this country. So business as usual for the coalition
20:36
Speaker 7: at a federal level is not going to work. I
20:38
Speaker 7: would think the best thing is because you always have
20:40
Speaker 7: to play your main economic and brand strength, which is
20:43
Speaker 7: economics and the economy. That what the tailor opposition should
20:47
Speaker 7: do is say, we're going for a record breaking four
20:51
Speaker 7: percent growth target by the end of the first tailor
20:55
Speaker 7: three year period. We want GDP growth in this country
20:59
Speaker 7: to be four percent. Now, how do you achieve that.
21:01
Speaker 7: You have to massively, massively cut government approval times for approvals,
21:07
Speaker 7: mainly at a federal level, for mining leases, oil leases,
21:10
Speaker 7: all of the approvals that are federal environmental approvals, et cetera.
21:14
Speaker 7: All of these things cut dramatically to a year, not three, five, ten,
21:17
Speaker 7: fifteen years to get mining approvals. Secondly, you come out
21:20
Speaker 7: and you say every government payment has to be means
21:24
Speaker 7: tested going forward. Right the budget where bankrupt is a
21:28
Speaker 7: country we can't afford to keep paying people who you know,
21:31
Speaker 7: energy bill rebates and all sorts of other things fuel
21:34
Speaker 7: discounts when they don't need it. You can announce a
21:38
Speaker 7: massive cut to the huge, almost obscene salaries paid to
21:44
Speaker 7: university vice chancellors, government bureaucrats, heads of government organizations, arts
21:49
Speaker 7: bureaucrats who are paid five six, seven hundred thousand dollars
21:53
Speaker 7: to run urs organizations, when a normal policeman's paid what
21:57
Speaker 7: one hundred thousand dollars and a nurse gets ninety to
21:59
Speaker 7: one hundred thousand. I mean, things are seriously wrong and
22:03
Speaker 7: that's why the Hansome vote is so high. And so
22:06
Speaker 7: the Tailor opposition should have a big bowl plan to
22:10
Speaker 7: remake Australia and talk about an economic revolution in this country.
22:14
Speaker 7: And a lot of that depends on the courage they
22:16
Speaker 7: need to say it's not business as usual. We need
22:19
Speaker 7: to go for a big growth target and this is
22:21
Speaker 7: how we're going to get there.
22:23
Speaker 3: Michael, I've heard that behind the scenes today the Prime
22:26
Speaker 3: Minister was really cranky about this fire the Layar campaign.
22:30
Speaker 3: I mean, knowing him as well as you do and
22:32
Speaker 3: for as long as you have, can you imagine he
22:36
Speaker 3: would be fuming about this, Michael Dwanby fuming.
22:40
Speaker 8: But the problem is he doesn't understand that one nation
22:43
Speaker 8: is in the bogy man it used to be. He
22:46
Speaker 8: has to sort of stick to the issues that the
22:48
Speaker 8: negative campaigning against Pauline Anson was a godsend for him.
22:55
Speaker 8: Sorry for James Ashby and Pauline Anson. They don't understand
22:59
Speaker 8: label this is. I said in another Sky program Sherry
23:03
Speaker 8: that I thought sometimes that Elbow was recruiting for one
23:06
Speaker 8: nation I'm sure that many of his policies, but particularly Australians,
23:13
Speaker 8: think the huge immigration, particularly since the Bondai massacre, is
23:19
Speaker 8: untenable and he doesn't understand it, he doesn't reduce it.
23:24
Speaker 8: We're having a million people over three years come into
23:27
Speaker 8: this country, not enough housing. One Nation is not the
23:32
Speaker 8: boogeyman that it used to be to the average Voteran
23:35
Speaker 8: you can't keep insulting them and saying give us money
23:39
Speaker 8: on the basis of hating Pauline Hansen.
23:42
Speaker 3: Michael, I know you've just outlined a whole strategy, if
23:47
Speaker 3: you like, for the Liberal Party to regain the confidence
23:50
Speaker 3: of voters.
23:51
Speaker 2: But can you given the way they're going, can you
23:54
Speaker 2: imagine a scenario.
23:55
Speaker 3: Where One Nation is the main opposition party and Pauline
24:00
Speaker 3: hands and even faces off against Albinizi in an election campaign.
24:05
Speaker 7: Well, of course it's possible. You know, an election was
24:09
Speaker 7: held today, we're an eighteen percent, she's on thirty thirty one,
24:12
Speaker 7: So of course that's possible. If the election was held tomorrow,
24:14
Speaker 7: that's exactly what would happen. They would have more seats
24:17
Speaker 7: than the coalition and for anyone that you know sort
24:21
Speaker 7: of you know, people in the Liberal Party to think
24:24
Speaker 7: this is sen a she, some fish and chip shop
24:26
Speaker 7: owner up, some kind of upstart who can't be taken seriously.
24:29
Speaker 7: We'll have a good Farah seasonally got fifty percent of
24:32
Speaker 7: the primary vote in twenty two, forty three percent in
24:35
Speaker 7: twenty five, twelve percent in twenty six. So those people
24:39
Speaker 7: in the Liberal Party to think this is just some
24:41
Speaker 7: kind of flash in the pair and no politics has changed.
24:43
Speaker 1: The electorate's had enough.
24:45
Speaker 7: They've had enough. They see so many things wrong in
24:47
Speaker 7: this country and they don't think we've done enough to
24:50
Speaker 7: fix them. We haven't had the courage. We were dragged
24:52
Speaker 7: along for that whole almost ten year term, being dragged
24:56
Speaker 7: along by the woke left giving ground here to their
24:59
Speaker 7: bit by bit by bit right, not standing up strongly.
25:03
Speaker 7: And this is what's behind Hanson's rise. And if the
25:06
Speaker 7: Liberal Party wants to rise again, it needs an enormous
25:08
Speaker 7: amount of courage.
25:09
Speaker 1: It can be done. It can be done.
25:11
Speaker 7: It's got to start with the economics and the economy,
25:13
Speaker 7: because that's that's why people vote for the coalition. And
25:16
Speaker 7: Taylor is the perfect person to do that because he's
25:18
Speaker 7: a Rhodes scholar and an expert in economics.
25:21
Speaker 2: He's very smart, better person, got it, very smart. Carewe's
25:24
Speaker 2: just got to cut through now.
25:25
Speaker 3: Andrew Boltz just texted me saying it's now up to
25:28
Speaker 3: one point two one point two one seven million dollars
25:32
Speaker 3: in donations. This is going up by the minute, and
25:34
Speaker 3: I'm just going to refresh my laptop because I'm sure
25:36
Speaker 3: even since then it would have gone up.
25:38
Speaker 2: So we'll get that when that comes through.
25:41
Speaker 3: And it's looking like it is one point two three
25:45
Speaker 3: five one point two three five massive. I mean, people
25:50
Speaker 3: are just donating so much to this. Now let's move
25:53
Speaker 3: on and cover another couple of other topics we've seen
25:55
Speaker 3: today the news that Chris Bowen is pushing for one
25:58
Speaker 3: third of the world od's energy demand to be supplied
26:01
Speaker 3: by electricity by twenty thirty five.
26:04
Speaker 2: Now he started talking about.
26:06
Speaker 3: An electrification moment. Now this is his first major announcement.
26:10
Speaker 3: As you know, the President of Climate Negotiations, Michael Dowanby.
26:15
Speaker 3: This is the role of the United Nations basically made
26:18
Speaker 3: up for him after they lost the hosting rights to
26:22
Speaker 3: the COP thirty one. But what even is this electrification moment?
26:26
Speaker 3: I mean, how do you supply the electricity? There still
26:29
Speaker 3: needs to be an energy exce.
26:30
Speaker 8: Where does Chris Bowen think electricity comes from. It comes
26:35
Speaker 8: from coal and gas, and yes, renewables could play a
26:40
Speaker 8: role too, But most of the countries that have signed
26:42
Speaker 8: up to these kinds of things have massive nuclear power.
26:45
Speaker 8: But France has seventy percent of its power provided by
26:48
Speaker 8: nuclear power. And Bowen and Elbow are the two dumkops,
26:53
Speaker 8: so described him in German, who we have this massive
26:57
Speaker 8: uranium reserves and we can't use any of it, even
27:00
Speaker 8: for these new modern, safe mini nuclear power plants, which
27:03
Speaker 8: should be very suitable for Australia. Come on, we've got
27:06
Speaker 8: to start waking up paying one hundred and fifty million dollars,
27:10
Speaker 8: which I think is Australia's contribution to make Chris Bowen
27:14
Speaker 8: the co president of some fictitious organization. It's again making
27:19
Speaker 8: Australian people crazy.
27:20
Speaker 3: With anger, especially because we heard today that the Transport
27:24
Speaker 3: Minister Catherine King is saying that we should be expecting
27:28
Speaker 3: the cut to the fuel excise to end this month.
27:31
Speaker 3: So Michael Kroger, I mean it means that patrol's going
27:35
Speaker 3: to jump back up towards the two dollars a leader
27:37
Speaker 3: mark at least, well.
27:39
Speaker 7: Unless the labor government can point to where they'd be
27:43
Speaker 7: cutting expenditure in order to renew it. Of course it
27:45
Speaker 7: shouldn't be it shouldn't be extended unfortunately. I mean, Albanys,
27:49
Speaker 7: you just can't keep borrowing money and shoveling out to
27:51
Speaker 7: consumers saying look I a good fellow, I'm giving you
27:54
Speaker 7: more money. I mean, on this whole energy issue with Bowen,
27:59
Speaker 7: you know better than the brilliant Chris Jullman's articles on
28:05
Speaker 7: energy and that Extraordinary Towards and its Zero documentary had
28:08
Speaker 7: on Sky a couple of months ago. And the guy
28:10
Speaker 7: just read Chris Yellman and you'll understand what's going on
28:13
Speaker 7: at a retail level. This is the bloke that lied
28:16
Speaker 7: during the twenty two election and one thousands and thousands
28:19
Speaker 7: of votes by saying two hundred and seventy five dollars
28:22
Speaker 7: for a bit. Well, you know, and we've now he's
28:24
Speaker 7: the world president. I mean, seriously, with that track record,
28:28
Speaker 7: you know you would you wouldn't, you wouldn't, you wouldn't
28:31
Speaker 7: hire this bloke in a month of Sundays. But he'll,
28:34
Speaker 7: as people say, he'll wander off to some job of
28:36
Speaker 7: the un and dy course and he'll never be seen again,
28:40
Speaker 7: but he's done a men's damage to this country and
28:42
Speaker 7: a men's damage to the Albanezy government.
28:44
Speaker 3: Maybe or maybe when they're eventually out of office, he'll
28:47
Speaker 3: struggle to get a proper job because a lot of
28:50
Speaker 3: the labor ministers we know have never actually worked in
28:53
Speaker 3: the corporate sector.
28:54
Speaker 2: All right, Michael Kroger, Michael Damby, thank you so much
28:57
Speaker 2: for your time. Now to the break.
29:01
Speaker 3: Well still in the show, we'll look at how Trump
29:03
Speaker 3: has finally found his metal and launched a wave of
29:06
Speaker 3: strikes on Iran. Plus Mikaylay Cash rips into the ABC
29:11
Speaker 3: the potential pregnancy, gender nonsense, gracetame and more.
29:16
Speaker 2: She's on fire.
29:17
Speaker 3: After the break, Shadow Attorney General Michaulia Cash has gone
29:24
Speaker 3: viral over her interrogation of the Sex Discrimination Commissioner about
29:29
Speaker 3: potential pregnancies. You know this, and she's had millions of views.
29:34
Speaker 10: I'm insulted, utterly insulted by that explanation that you think
29:40
Speaker 10: that I and the other biological women here need to
29:43
Speaker 10: apply for an exemption so that we can say no
29:47
Speaker 10: to having our own space to biological men. That is
29:51
Speaker 10: an insult to every biological woman.
29:54
Speaker 6: Quite frankly.
29:55
Speaker 10: But the good news is what we've established today is
29:57
Speaker 10: we're talking about the law and the all as it
30:00
Speaker 10: currently stands is an s and we will change it
30:04
Speaker 10: so we do not have to have these conversations again.
30:08
Speaker 6: Sex is biological reality.
30:12
Speaker 1: Yeah.
30:13
Speaker 3: The Prime Minister has dismissed questions about the need to
30:16
Speaker 3: change the Sex Discrimination Act, saying it's a culture war.
30:21
Speaker 7: The Coalition has been saying they want to change the
30:23
Speaker 7: Sex Discrimination Act to redefine women as biological women.
30:30
Speaker 6: Do you think that should happen?
30:32
Speaker 5: Oh? Look, I'm not engaging in culture wars here.
30:38
Speaker 3: I spoke to Mikayley Cash about this just a little earlier.
30:42
Speaker 3: Mikayla Cash, thank you so much for your time. You're
30:46
Speaker 3: arguing to amend the Sex Discrimination Act to include protections
30:51
Speaker 3: for women based on biological sex. Now, as we've just heard,
30:54
Speaker 3: the Prime Minister says this is a culture war issue.
30:59
Speaker 2: Why do you think is wrong?
31:02
Speaker 10: Because under the Sex Discrimination Act as it stands, biological
31:07
Speaker 10: men who identify as women currently have more rights than
31:12
Speaker 10: biological women and girls. The law is completely absurd. Common
31:18
Speaker 10: sense has left canbra and if the Prime Minister won't
31:22
Speaker 10: change the Sex Discrimination Act, I can tell you right now,
31:26
Speaker 10: Shari Angus Taylor and the Coalition will and shame on
31:31
Speaker 10: the Prime Minister. It's not a culture war, Shari to
31:35
Speaker 10: say biology is actually a reality. It's not a culture
31:40
Speaker 10: war to say biological men who identify as women should
31:46
Speaker 10: not have the same rights as women.
31:49
Speaker 6: Women and girls.
31:50
Speaker 10: Their rights because of Julia Gillard have been stripped from
31:54
Speaker 10: the Sex Discrimination Act. And if the Prime Minister won't act,
31:58
Speaker 10: I can tell you right now, the Coalition will. You
32:01
Speaker 10: know it's not radical to say six equals biology.
32:07
Speaker 6: Australians understand that.
32:09
Speaker 3: And it really hit a nerve given that you know
32:11
Speaker 3: that clip where you were pressing the Sex Discrimination Commissioner
32:14
Speaker 3: of Potential Pregnancy. It's been seen by millions and millions
32:18
Speaker 3: of people at sparkan a national debate.
32:21
Speaker 6: I just want to.
32:22
Speaker 3: Move on to the ABC. I break the story yesterday
32:25
Speaker 3: that the ABC, major media outlets and also social media
32:30
Speaker 3: giants will be called before the Royal Commission into Anti Semitism.
32:35
Speaker 3: The Commission of Virginia Bella is preparing to have a
32:37
Speaker 3: dedicated hearing block looking at the role of media and
32:42
Speaker 3: social media in inflaming anti Semitism. Michaelia, do you think
32:47
Speaker 3: the ABC should be forced to front the Royal Commission
32:51
Speaker 3: an account for its role.
32:52
Speaker 2: In fueling the anti Semitism crisis.
32:56
Speaker 10: Yes, I do, and I think the managing director Humor
33:00
Speaker 10: should be the one who does that. I mean, we
33:03
Speaker 10: wrote Sarah Henderson I to the Royal Commission and ask
33:06
Speaker 10: them to establish this dedicated block of heering into our
33:10
Speaker 10: publicly funded broadcasters. Why because they receive taxpayers money, they
33:16
Speaker 10: do have a significant role in shaping public debate, and
33:21
Speaker 10: therefore it is entirely appropriate that the Royal Commission examine
33:26
Speaker 10: whether or not the ABCSBS etc. Have done enough to
33:31
Speaker 10: properly identify, respond to, but more than that, prevent anti Semitism.
33:37
Speaker 6: And I have to.
33:38
Speaker 10: Say, Shari, I shake my head at Hugh Marks. I
33:43
Speaker 10: mean publicly defending the publicly funded broadcaster's decision to give
33:49
Speaker 10: Grace Time a taxpayer funded platform when she is someone
33:55
Speaker 10: who has been out there saying and I quote say
33:59
Speaker 10: it with me, from Gadigul to Gaza, globalize the end
34:02
Speaker 10: to Fada and dismissing the claims of the rape of
34:07
Speaker 10: Israeli women on October the seventh. I mean, seriously, Hugh Marks,
34:11
Speaker 10: I can't wait to see him called before the Royal
34:15
Speaker 10: Commission to explain the ABC's position.
34:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think this is actually a really serious issue
34:22
Speaker 3: because he defended hiring Grace Team despite the comments that
34:26
Speaker 3: you just described. He even praised her podcast as important
34:30
Speaker 3: for young Australian women.
34:31
Speaker 2: Have listened to another comment.
34:33
Speaker 9: He said, acknowledging that you know, with some of the
34:36
Speaker 9: people that we work with, sometimes there will be controversy.
34:39
Speaker 9: So you know, I've spoken to Grace and I know
34:43
Speaker 9: you know what she really abhorses violence of any kind,
34:46
Speaker 9: particularly violence against women and children, and I think everybody
34:50
Speaker 9: can relate to what she really believes.
34:53
Speaker 3: In Michaelia, I found that extraordinary. He's trying to tell
34:57
Speaker 3: us what Grace Team really meant when we all saw
35:00
Speaker 3: her aggressively yell to globalize the into FATA. To the
35:05
Speaker 3: common person, that means a violent uprising. And she said
35:09
Speaker 3: on gadigal Land that is Sydney, in Sydney, Australia.
35:14
Speaker 10: More than that, shari As you well know because you
35:18
Speaker 10: were there day in day out. Fifteen innocent Jewish Australians
35:23
Speaker 10: were slaughtered on Bondai Beach last year as a result
35:27
Speaker 10: of rising anti Semitism in this country. And to listen
35:32
Speaker 10: to Hugh Marx, who gets a pretty good salary himself
35:35
Speaker 10: on behalf of the taxpayer justify their decision to spend
35:41
Speaker 10: taxpayers money.
35:42
Speaker 6: Giving her a platform.
35:43
Speaker 10: I have to say made me feel physically ill if
35:47
Speaker 10: Hugh Marks can't understand what those words a mean, but
35:52
Speaker 10: be more than that the impact that they have on
35:54
Speaker 10: Jewish Australians. Quite frankly, how can any Australian have any
36:00
Speaker 10: faith that the ABC is putting in place the appropriate
36:04
Speaker 10: mechanisms to identify, respond to and prevent anti Semitism? By God,
36:11
Speaker 10: are they actually contributing to it?
36:13
Speaker 6: That's one of the questions that needs to be.
36:15
Speaker 3: Asked, especially when they've rejected adopting the Ayrah definition of
36:19
Speaker 3: antisemitism that most countries around the world adopt. Honestly, I'm
36:24
Speaker 3: blown away that he is trying to tell us what
36:26
Speaker 3: Grace Team really meant when we all saw her comments.
36:29
Speaker 10: Well correct, she actually said chan't with me, chan't with.
36:35
Speaker 2: Me terrible and that's a phrase.
36:38
Speaker 3: By the way, that New southerw Was Premier Chris Mins
36:40
Speaker 3: has said he intends to bound that the Queensland Premier
36:43
Speaker 3: has already bound. So why they acknowledged as a dangerous phrase.
36:48
Speaker 3: Just finally, Mikhaylia, One nation is soaring in the polls
36:51
Speaker 3: and as you would have heard, they had this campaign
36:55
Speaker 3: to fire the liar.
36:57
Speaker 2: Today it's had a million dollars worth of donations.
37:01
Speaker 3: How concerned are you, as a senior Liberal figure, that
37:06
Speaker 3: voters are deserting the coalition in favor of Pauline Hansen.
37:11
Speaker 10: Well, I'd say, in the first instance, what the polls
37:13
Speaker 10: are showing is voters are deserting the Albanese government. They
37:17
Speaker 10: are sick and tired of mister Alberanesi. They're sick and
37:20
Speaker 10: tired of his lies, and they're sick and tired of
37:22
Speaker 10: the fact that he has totally destroyed this country. The
37:26
Speaker 10: vote is moving to the right, but at this point
37:29
Speaker 10: in time, it's moving to one nation. I think that
37:31
Speaker 10: to dismiss one nation would be to dismiss the thousands
37:35
Speaker 10: and thousands of Australians who are actually fed up. They've
37:40
Speaker 10: had enough with Canberra. So I'm not going to dismiss
37:44
Speaker 10: one nation. But what I will say is this the coalition.
37:48
Speaker 10: We have listened, we have learned, and under Angus Taylor,
37:52
Speaker 10: we are now going to show the Australian people that
37:55
Speaker 10: they can put their trust in us and that we
37:58
Speaker 10: have the policies that will restore their standards of living,
38:02
Speaker 10: but more than that, will protect their way of life.
38:06
Speaker 10: But I'm not going to dismiss One Nation because I
38:08
Speaker 10: think the fact that the vote is moving to them
38:11
Speaker 10: is an expression of frustration. I understand their frustration, and
38:16
Speaker 10: as a coalition, we need to do better, and Angus
38:20
Speaker 10: Taylor absolutely understands that.
38:23
Speaker 3: Just quickly, do you agree with Tony Abbott that it's
38:26
Speaker 3: time to talk about preference deals. He put a statement
38:28
Speaker 3: out there yesterday.
38:31
Speaker 10: I think Angus has actually been very upfront about this.
38:34
Speaker 10: He has said, One Nation, the center right, we are
38:38
Speaker 10: united on one thing, and that is to rid this
38:42
Speaker 10: country of one of the worst, if not the worst.
38:45
Speaker 6: Government it has ever seen.
38:47
Speaker 10: But if you're a center right party, we will do
38:49
Speaker 10: business with you because we want to get rid of
38:53
Speaker 10: this government.
38:54
Speaker 2: Pretty clear message there, Mikhaylia Cash, thank you for your time.
38:57
Speaker 6: Great to be with you.
39:00
Speaker 2: All right.
39:00
Speaker 3: The One Nation tracker has now raised one point two
39:03
Speaker 3: eight million dollars. I'll let you know what it's up
39:05
Speaker 3: to after the break Still to come. Belfast is on
39:08
Speaker 3: fire after an attempted beheading lit a political firestorm and
39:12
Speaker 3: migration outpacing housing supply.
39:15
Speaker 2: I'll bring you.
39:16
Speaker 3: Those figures after the break. Well, while Labour says at
39:23
Speaker 3: once more Australians in homes, new IPA data reveals that
39:27
Speaker 3: migration is now running at almost triple new housing supply.
39:32
Speaker 3: To tell us about this research, joining me now is
39:35
Speaker 3: IPA chief economist Adam Crichton.
39:37
Speaker 2: Adam, so tell us what your figures have shown.
39:42
Speaker 4: Yes, well, this is just based on the ABS figures.
39:44
Speaker 4: And in the twelve months the most recent twelve month period,
39:47
Speaker 4: permanent net long term arrivals to Australia hit four hundred
39:51
Speaker 4: and eighty nine thousand people and the housing supply figures
39:54
Speaker 4: were just one hundred and seventy four thousand new bills
39:57
Speaker 4: over that same period, so that is roughly three times now.
40:00
Speaker 4: Of course, these are not the net overseas migration figures
40:03
Speaker 4: that the government likes to talk about. That's running at
40:05
Speaker 4: about three hundred and three thousand.
40:06
Speaker 2: I think the LETTERS.
40:07
Speaker 4: Figures new people per year still very high. Of course,
40:10
Speaker 4: it's just a slight, a slight definitional difference between the two,
40:14
Speaker 4: but nevertheless still huge figures actually on both counts. So
40:19
Speaker 4: the government is saying that it's going to reduce immigration,
40:22
Speaker 4: but clearly it's not. The interesting thing here is that
40:24
Speaker 4: they've probably already triggered a housing downturn. House prices, apartment
40:28
Speaker 4: prices already falling in most of the major capitals because
40:31
Speaker 4: of the budget, and they will be less likely now,
40:34
Speaker 4: I think, to slow immigration, because if they do that
40:37
Speaker 4: then there could well be a housing market crash over
40:39
Speaker 4: the next six months.
40:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a lot of people are really worried about that,
40:43
Speaker 3: that's for sure. Now your research, Adam, looks at how
40:47
Speaker 3: housing supply is actually falling behind labor zone targets.
40:51
Speaker 2: Is that right?
40:52
Speaker 4: Yes, certainly that's true. Look in the twenty two months
40:55
Speaker 4: of I think it's called the National Housing Accord. This
40:58
Speaker 4: is a promise to build one point two million new
40:59
Speaker 4: home homes by twenty twenty nine. Not in a single
41:03
Speaker 4: month has the target been achieved. It's cumulatively about eighty
41:07
Speaker 4: five thousand homes behind schedule. And actually, even more incredibly,
41:11
Speaker 4: there were more new homes built in the twelve months
41:13
Speaker 4: to twenty sixteen, sorry to March twenty sixteen, than the
41:17
Speaker 4: most recent twelve months period. So that's extraordinary. Really, that
41:20
Speaker 4: just goes to show that the building capacity of this
41:22
Speaker 4: country is far worse, and that's largely due to regulations,
41:25
Speaker 4: all the new green regulations. It's much harder to get approvals,
41:27
Speaker 4: and of course the state governments have sucked up all
41:30
Speaker 4: the workers in these enormous infrastructure projects, many of which
41:35
Speaker 4: are quite Dubious's.
41:37
Speaker 3: I want to just look at another topic, because there's
41:39
Speaker 3: new research into media reporting.
41:42
Speaker 2: On climate science. This is fascinating. What is this found?
41:47
Speaker 4: Yes, Look, certainly that's why I wrought about this last
41:49
Speaker 4: week in my column. Look, basically, there's been a study
41:52
Speaker 4: of the ten biggest media organizations in the world, five
41:55
Speaker 4: left wing, five broadly right wing, and the interesting thing
41:58
Speaker 4: is that nine of them have been fiting, i would say,
42:00
Speaker 4: in their reporting with climate change. This study, I think
42:04
Speaker 4: from Oxford University used AI to trol through something like
42:07
Speaker 4: one hundred and sixteen thousand newspaper articles over ten years,
42:11
Speaker 4: and it showed that most of the articles they you know,
42:15
Speaker 4: they tended to fearmonger, to scare people. And so that's
42:20
Speaker 4: why I think we see all those public support for
42:22
Speaker 4: these these crazy measures when they're not warranted from a
42:25
Speaker 4: scientific point of view, or certainly not an economic point
42:27
Speaker 4: of view.
42:28
Speaker 2: Either, Adam, you're in Victoria.
42:31
Speaker 3: There's a lot of speculation, political speculation about Victoria Allen's leadership,
42:37
Speaker 3: whether she is going to be overthrown by ban Kara.
42:39
Speaker 3: We've got the Rise of One Nation. We had James
42:41
Speaker 3: Ashby on the show tonight and I have just checked
42:43
Speaker 3: the latest tracker one point three million dollars one point
42:48
Speaker 3: three I mean.
42:49
Speaker 2: That's gone up.
42:50
Speaker 3: You know, I can't do the maths very well, but
42:52
Speaker 3: it was one point one million dollars when we started
42:54
Speaker 3: on air tonight. Now it's one point three million dollars,
42:57
Speaker 3: so you know, nearly two hundred thousand dollars extra half
43:00
Speaker 3: an hour.
43:02
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just extraordinary. And actually I don't know what
43:04
Speaker 4: the Labor Party figure is. Maybe you've heard that, but
43:07
Speaker 4: I'm sure it's not one point three million. But I
43:08
Speaker 4: think they're trying to raise money as well. But look, certainly,
43:11
Speaker 4: if I had to make a prediction, I think that
43:13
Speaker 4: Labor won't win a majority in the Parliament in November.
43:16
Speaker 4: It's extremely unpopular government down here. There's the fifteen billion
43:19
Speaker 4: dollar corruption allegations, which of course just extraordinary. I noticed
43:22
Speaker 4: in the Australian just a few hours ago, there's an
43:24
Speaker 4: exclusive saying that they don't even talk about the big
43:27
Speaker 4: build anymore in their press releases, and that's because of
43:30
Speaker 4: all of the corruption, because it stinks. And look just
43:33
Speaker 4: don just Cinna Allen. Apparently people don't even want the job.
43:36
Speaker 4: I mean, even Ben Carroll does not want the job,
43:38
Speaker 4: which actually surprises me because it's still you know, it's
43:40
Speaker 4: still four hundred and fifty five hundred thousand dollars a year.
43:42
Speaker 4: I think it's the highest, the highest paid premiere in
43:45
Speaker 4: the country. So even if you had that six months,
43:46
Speaker 4: that wouldn't be a bad.
43:48
Speaker 3: Interesting thing to look at all, right, Adam Krachton, great
43:50
Speaker 3: to see, well, still to come. After begging Israel to
43:54
Speaker 3: stop it strikes, President Trump hits a run plast the
43:57
Speaker 3: shocking footage coming out of Belfast's After the Break. Just
44:05
Speaker 3: last night, President Donald Trump was saying this about a peace.
44:09
Speaker 12: Steal where in the final throes of what will be
44:13
Speaker 12: a very very good deal. Straight, we'll open up right away,
44:16
Speaker 12: It'll open up immediately upon signing, which could be in
44:19
Speaker 12: two or three days.
44:21
Speaker 3: But hours later, it was confirmed that Iran was behind
44:25
Speaker 3: the downing of an American apachet near the straight of
44:28
Speaker 3: hor Moose and the US launched strikes and Iranian air
44:31
Speaker 3: defense and radar systems, and now Iran is threatening to
44:35
Speaker 3: hit back. To discuss, Sky News contributor Koshergata joins me. Now,
44:40
Speaker 3: so Kasha Kosher, as we sit here tonight, where does
44:43
Speaker 3: this peace steal stand?
44:48
Speaker 13: A million dollar question, Shari, I think you know, the
44:51
Speaker 13: big picture of the landscape is that Trump still does
44:53
Speaker 13: want a peace steal. It feels increasingly obvious that he
44:57
Speaker 13: does want to extract himself and the US out of
45:00
Speaker 13: the situation because of all the domestic political pressures that
45:03
Speaker 13: we've been discussing weekend and week out that's only ramping up.
45:06
Speaker 13: We're only five months away from the midterms, and he
45:08
Speaker 13: seems to be acutely aware of that. But by the
45:10
Speaker 13: same token, he does want to project strength. So long
45:13
Speaker 13: as the US is in the region blockading the Strait,
45:17
Speaker 13: fifteen thousand troops in and around the region, they are
45:21
Speaker 13: vulnerable to being attacked. When an attack like this happens.
45:24
Speaker 13: He obviously wants to project strength and does want to
45:26
Speaker 13: do a quote unquote proportional retaliation, which is what he did.
45:30
Speaker 13: And then that just makes the peace steal seem increasingly fragile,
45:33
Speaker 13: So I think it feels like we're back to square one.
45:36
Speaker 13: The big picture remains, but it's anybody's guess how this
45:40
Speaker 13: story is going to continue to unfold in the months
45:42
Speaker 13: to come.
45:42
Speaker 3: To me, it just seems increasingly obvious that Tehran has
45:46
Speaker 3: no intention of signing a piece steal. It's doing everything
45:49
Speaker 3: it can to keep this wall going. Now tell us
45:53
Speaker 3: about Belfast. It's on an edge tonight after this horrific
45:57
Speaker 3: knife attack. Police say a Sudanese asylum seeks you're allegedly
46:00
Speaker 3: try to behead a man in the street while shouting
46:03
Speaker 3: ali wakba kosha.
46:05
Speaker 2: What are the details? Can you give us?
46:10
Speaker 13: Definitely a pressure cooker. This is a long running issue
46:14
Speaker 13: of course, immigration, illegal asylum seekers in these nations all
46:19
Speaker 13: across the Western sphere, specifically in Northern Ireland. Over here,
46:23
Speaker 13: the voters weren't asked for it. The ability for them
46:27
Speaker 13: to redress their grievances on this issue continues to diminish
46:30
Speaker 13: because both parties of the political oule keep doing it.
46:33
Speaker 13: And then when you see something like this happening, this
46:35
Speaker 13: horrific incident that's gone viral and it's so just in
46:39
Speaker 13: the era of capturing things on camera and social media
46:43
Speaker 13: spreading it around the world. Whether it's the Charlie Kirk
46:46
Speaker 13: shooting and how he caught a bullet in his neck,
46:48
Speaker 13: different issue, but just the visceral nature of that violence
46:52
Speaker 13: or this thing that was seen all around the world,
46:54
Speaker 13: I think it really just invokes something really primal from people,
46:58
Speaker 13: and it amplifies the issue around immigration and people from
47:02
Speaker 13: very different cultures have very different ways of approaching things
47:04
Speaker 13: being in the country, and it really feels like a
47:06
Speaker 13: pressure cooker where now tonight protests seemed to be on
47:11
Speaker 13: the rise, and I think this story is going to
47:13
Speaker 13: continue to develop. After the horrific nature of that attempt
47:16
Speaker 13: to beheading that everybody saw.
47:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we're hearing the victim is alive.
47:20
Speaker 3: There are reports that he's lost his left eye, He's
47:24
Speaker 3: got serious injuries to his face, neck and back as well.
47:27
Speaker 3: Of course, as you say, there's protests across the city Kosher.
47:30
Speaker 3: The President turns eighty on Sunday. The White House is
47:34
Speaker 3: marking it with a UFC cage match on the South Lawn.
47:38
Speaker 3: I thought this was a pretty odd line in the
47:40
Speaker 3: Wall Street Journal editorial today, kind of right down the
47:43
Speaker 3: bottom that it hopes the president isn't hiding any medical concerns.
47:49
Speaker 2: What do you think that's about?
47:54
Speaker 13: That is interesting. He is eighty, so that makes him
47:58
Speaker 13: rather old, second oldest to bite in the top job,
48:02
Speaker 13: and there are generally concerns that when somebody that old
48:05
Speaker 13: is serving in the most powerful position in the world,
48:08
Speaker 13: is at the best for the country, for the world.
48:11
Speaker 13: I don't know if there's anything more to that. There's
48:13
Speaker 13: been some reports of bruises on his hands, or maybe
48:16
Speaker 13: he's losing a step here and there, but generally speaking,
48:18
Speaker 13: I think Trump feels pretty sharp, pretty similar to how
48:21
Speaker 13: he's been and I think the problem for all the
48:23
Speaker 13: media is, given the cover up that happened with his
48:26
Speaker 13: predecessor Joe Biden, it's a little bit tricky and tough
48:29
Speaker 13: for them to go out there and put this innuendo
48:32
Speaker 13: out there unless there's something very concrete.
48:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, exactly, but pretty exciting and it I think
48:37
Speaker 3: by the end of his presidency he will be the
48:39
Speaker 3: oldest ever president to hold office. But seems like he's
48:42
Speaker 3: got more energy than the rest of us who are
48:45
Speaker 3: half his age, So good on him now. Graham Platnat
48:49
Speaker 3: has won the Democrat primary in Maine. Now, Kosher, this
48:52
Speaker 3: is a candidate who has a Nazi linked tattoo.
48:57
Speaker 2: He's had it for eighteen years.
48:58
Speaker 3: How can someone like this be a suitable candidate for
49:01
Speaker 3: the Democrats?
49:05
Speaker 13: You know, I always say that we're in almost a
49:07
Speaker 13: post candidacy country in the US, where the country is
49:11
Speaker 13: so divided and the machine on either side seems to
49:15
Speaker 13: do the heavy lifting, and most people just vote either
49:17
Speaker 13: Democrat Republican based on where they stand, regardless of who
49:20
Speaker 13: the candidate is. He's got the Nazi tattoo, he's been
49:23
Speaker 13: caught on camera saying all sorts of very very untenable things,
49:28
Speaker 13: and yet he's won this primary. And right now as
49:30
Speaker 13: we sit here today, Sharry, the polling suggests that he
49:33
Speaker 13: is favored to win and defeat Republican Susan Collins, the
49:36
Speaker 13: incumbent over there, who's always been She's a Republican, a
49:39
Speaker 13: modern Republican in a very very blue part, very left
49:43
Speaker 13: leaning part of Maine, and that will be interesting. If
49:46
Speaker 13: he defeats her, he will be a United States Senator
49:48
Speaker 13: and we shall see how that goes.
49:51
Speaker 3: Terrifying thought, that's for sure, absolutely terrifying thought. Right, Koshagada
49:54
Speaker 3: thank you as always for your great analysis. Now I
49:58
Speaker 3: just want to take a moment to spotlight a beautiful
50:00
Speaker 3: exhibition currently on at the Bondai Pavilion. It's dedicated to
50:04
Speaker 3: the victims of the Bondai Beach terror attack. It's called
50:08
Speaker 3: Holding Light and it's an artistic response to the attack.
50:12
Speaker 3: The exhibition brings together twenty eight works by twenty nine
50:15
Speaker 3: professional artists. There's also a digital gallery of community submissions,
50:20
Speaker 3: some of them are on screen now. It's been curated
50:23
Speaker 3: by Hayda Sorry Hada Matacha for Shalam Collective support from
50:28
Speaker 3: Waverley Council. It's free to visit at the Bondai Pavilion.
50:33
Speaker 3: I popped in today and saw it. It is small
50:36
Speaker 3: but very moving. It goes from a Wednesday to a
50:39
Speaker 3: Sunday ten am to five pm until June twenty eighth.
50:44
Speaker 3: Really well worth seeing. Some of those images as you
50:47
Speaker 3: just saw on the screen were really quite beautiful and
50:50
Speaker 3: it's not something that's going to depress you. It's a
50:54
Speaker 3: beautiful vigil and something to remember the victims by.
50:58
Speaker 2: So I encourage everyone to go see it and have
51:01
Speaker 2: a look.
51:01
Speaker 3: All right, thank you for your company tonight, and by
51:03
Speaker 3: the way, last time I checked that checked that one
51:06
Speaker 3: nation calendar was up to one point three million. I'm
51:08
Speaker 3: sure Caleb Bond will give you an update right now
