- 0:11Speaker 1: He's the good report tonight strap in a really full show,
- 0:18Speaker 1: another alban Easy government global warming disaster. Just nine months ago,
- 0:22Speaker 1: the Prime Minister went to the Giant to Margo Smelter
- 0:25Speaker 1: and made this bost to its workers.
- 0:28Speaker 2: This is what a future made in Australia looks like.
- 0:34Speaker 1: But today to Margo warns it's about to shut down
- 0:38Speaker 1: because power prices under albin Easy are too high. Plus
- 0:42Speaker 1: the US Constitution says no, but Donald Trump refuses to
- 0:45Speaker 1: rule that. Running for president a third time, the media
- 0:48Speaker 1: goes nuts for missus his real game. Also know the
- 0:53Speaker 1: shocking pedophilia scandal that labor doesn't want investigated like it
- 0:56Speaker 1: did when it could blame Catholics.
- 1:00Speaker 3: Call for royal commissions whenever anything comes out immediately, They
- 1:04Speaker 3: take years, they cost a lot of money.
- 1:08Speaker 1: And plenty more coming up. But first you couldn't get
- 1:12Speaker 1: a clearer example of this new apartheid that's being forced
- 1:16Speaker 1: on Australians. The Victorian Governor has announced its finance for
- 1:20Speaker 1: the Victorian Public Health Care Awards, and one of them
- 1:23Speaker 1: is Saint Vincent's Hospital because it now treats patients by
- 1:28Speaker 1: race and people claiming to be Aboriginal go to the
- 1:32Speaker 1: head of the queue. As the government proudly explains, Aboriginal
- 1:35Speaker 1: patients and Saint Vincen's used to have to wait longer
- 1:37Speaker 1: for treatment, or so it says. But under this new program,
- 1:42Speaker 1: First Nations patients are now seen more promptly than non
- 1:46Speaker 1: Indigenous patients and that's because of apartheit in a hospital.
- 1:55Speaker 1: Let me explain. If you are injured and you go
- 1:57Speaker 1: to the emergency department of Saint Vincent's Hospital in Melbourne,
- 2:01Speaker 1: you're going to be asked if you are Aboriginal. If
- 2:04Speaker 1: you say yes, you get priority treatment. You don't even
- 2:06Speaker 1: have to be aberage. It can be as fake as
- 2:09Speaker 1: Bruce Pasco and so many Australians now who falsely claim
- 2:12Speaker 1: aboriginal benefits like free medicines. You tick that box I'm aboriginal,
- 2:17Speaker 1: and at Saint Vincent's you are automatically assigned Category three status.
- 2:24Speaker 1: That's the third of five categories in the trianch system,
- 2:27Speaker 1: meaning you get treatment within thirty minutes. If you say no,
- 2:32Speaker 1: you're not aboriginal, you'll be assessed under the usual system,
- 2:35Speaker 1: meaning you can be in Category four or five. Instead
- 2:38Speaker 1: many you could wait hours unless you really are sick
- 2:41Speaker 1: enough to be a three as well, or even a
- 2:43Speaker 1: two or a one. Now this is so wrong. I mean,
- 2:48Speaker 1: this is the kind of race politics that once made
- 2:53Speaker 1: South Africa are leper in world politics. You know, boycotted
- 2:57Speaker 1: riots against South Africa. But nowians and public servants, people
- 3:02Speaker 1: of the left seem to think there's actually a good
- 3:04Speaker 1: apartheid and like it or not, you are going to
- 3:08Speaker 1: get it. Now. It's good. We did dodge a bullet
- 3:12Speaker 1: when promise Anthony Albanezi tried too hard, try to change
- 3:16Speaker 1: our constitution so that anyone claiming to be Aboriginal got
- 3:19Speaker 1: more political rights, not just to vote for our politicians
- 3:24Speaker 1: in our parliament, but another vote for a kind of
- 3:26Speaker 1: Aboriginal advisory Parliament as well, with special powers. At sixty
- 3:31Speaker 1: percent of Austrains, of course, voted no, and that's lucky
- 3:35Speaker 1: for us. You can't actually change our constitution without giving
- 3:38Speaker 1: Australians a vote a referendum. But our politicians, especially in
- 3:44Speaker 1: Victoria and South Australia, are still pushing ahead with this
- 3:47Speaker 1: new agenda of apartheid, and so are the bureaucrats and
- 3:51Speaker 1: artists they finance. And you see so many signs now
- 3:56Speaker 1: this ugly division by race. I mean. Two years ago
- 4:01Speaker 1: many of our top arts groups started to offer mob
- 4:04Speaker 1: tics that's an eighty percent discount for people claiming to
- 4:07Speaker 1: be Aboriginal for tickets to events of the Cydney Opera House,
- 4:10Speaker 1: Austram Ballet, National Gallery of Australia, Sydney Fringe Festival, Straight Open,
- 4:15Speaker 1: and both the Sydney and Melbourne Syphony Orchestras and other
- 4:17Speaker 1: arts events as well. The City of Melbourne even had
- 4:21Speaker 1: posters outside as Signal Arts Studio telling whites they weren't
- 4:25Speaker 1: welcome inside. So this is a safe black space and
- 4:29Speaker 1: if your blood is of the seter please respect their
- 4:31Speaker 1: request not to enter. Many universities have so called safe
- 4:37Speaker 1: spaces too, aborige learning centers or study rooms. And this
- 4:41Speaker 1: new apartheid is now so common that most Austraians now
- 4:45Speaker 1: just blindly accept that. We also have sports teams picked
- 4:49Speaker 1: on race by our top football codes, so that we
- 4:52Speaker 1: see actual competitions of race pitted against race. I mean
- 4:57Speaker 1: it's obscene. More seriously, of course, South Australia two years
- 5:02Speaker 1: ago created his own Aboriginal Learning Advisory Parliament, the first
- 5:05Speaker 1: Nation's voice the Parliament, and Victoria has his own First
- 5:08Speaker 1: People's Assembly of people identifying as Aboriginal, supposedly representing other
- 5:13Speaker 1: people identifying as Aboriginal, of whom just eight percent in
- 5:18Speaker 1: Victoria who can vote actually bother to. That's how undemocratic
- 5:23Speaker 1: this race politics is. It's South Australian voice got only
- 5:27Speaker 1: ten percent turnout. What's more, Victoria's Parliament is expected to
- 5:32Speaker 1: vote this week for a treaty and yet more powers
- 5:35Speaker 1: for that first Nation's Assembly, first People's Assembly, and what
- 5:40Speaker 1: follows from that. Look you can only guess, but it
- 5:43Speaker 1: isn't going to be good. I mean, preferential hospital treatment
- 5:46Speaker 1: for one race. That's just the taste of what's the come.
- 5:49Speaker 1: I'm sure why not, I don't know. Preferential ambulance treatment
- 5:54Speaker 1: depending on your race, preferential school enrollment, perhaps lower taxes
- 5:58Speaker 1: for one race. Look the whole thing, it's essentially evil.
- 6:02Speaker 1: It really is evil, dividing us by race. I mean,
- 6:07Speaker 1: has any of this agenda brought Australians together do you
- 6:12Speaker 1: think in the last decade or two? Or has it
- 6:16Speaker 1: in fact driven us a part more and more? That's apartheid.
- 6:22Speaker 1: It really does set people at each other's throats. Joining
- 6:31Speaker 1: me is Georgie Crozier, the Opposition Health spokeswoman in Victoria,
- 6:35Speaker 1: Georgie Crazier, thank you so much for your time a
- 6:37Speaker 1: public hospital treating patients by race and even boasting about
- 6:42Speaker 1: it like it's got to get an award.
- 6:44Speaker 4: You know your response, well, Andrew, I, when I learned this,
- 6:50Speaker 4: I was quite shocked because I'm a former nurse and
- 6:54Speaker 4: my experience is that you know, when somebody walks through
- 6:57Speaker 4: that emergency department and you are triache a patient, you
- 7:01Speaker 4: don't judge them other than their health and medical needs
- 7:04Speaker 4: and you treat them on that basis. So you know,
- 7:07Speaker 4: triache is about risk assessment and having a look at
- 7:11Speaker 4: the issues surrounding that patient, and you know, you don't
- 7:14Speaker 4: judge it based on the color of your skin or race.
- 7:17Speaker 4: And this is what we've got happening in Melbourne. It's
- 7:20Speaker 4: just a glimpse of what just into Allen's treaty is
- 7:23Speaker 4: going to do to Victorians. It's going to divide Victorians
- 7:26Speaker 4: and I don't think it's a good thing. I think
- 7:28Speaker 4: it is going to cause more problems than perhaps the
- 7:33Speaker 4: intent of what they are trying to do here.
- 7:36Speaker 1: It's just extraordinary to me. Georgia, the hospital and the government.
- 7:43Speaker 1: The premiere says oh, look, this policy has actually fixed
- 7:46Speaker 1: the problem. They claim to have found that people identifying
- 7:48Speaker 1: as Aboriginals that tended to wait longer in emergency for treatment. Now,
- 7:51Speaker 1: I don't know why, if it's true, or even why
- 7:53Speaker 1: they were you know, I'm sure the doctors and nurses
- 7:56Speaker 1: weren't going around saying you were average. Will go to
- 7:58Speaker 1: the backboard of the queue. But you buy that excuse.
- 8:04Speaker 4: No, And I think there are massive issues here, Andrew.
- 8:08Speaker 4: I mean, of course, you know, indigenous status is part
- 8:13Speaker 4: of that risk profile that you're doing when you're assessing.
- 8:15Speaker 4: But to say that it's bringing the numbers down, well,
- 8:18Speaker 4: we don't really have evidence of the outcomes for those patients.
- 8:22Speaker 4: Are they being referred on to further support? And of
- 8:24Speaker 4: course what's happening now is that the Allen Lober government
- 8:27Speaker 4: is shutting down Collingwood co Health, which actually cares for
- 8:33Speaker 4: thousands of vulnerable Victorians, many of these Indigenous Victorians in
- 8:39Speaker 4: their primary and community care needs. They're shutting that down
- 8:42Speaker 4: just a short space away from Saint Vincent's and where
- 8:46Speaker 4: are those where are those people going to go for
- 8:48Speaker 4: basic care? They will flood into Saint Vincent's Hospital. And
- 8:52Speaker 4: the other thing i'd say, is it's going to cause
- 8:54Speaker 4: a bit of chaos in terms of who's determining who's indigenous.
- 8:57Speaker 4: How do you how can you actually qualify that if
- 9:00Speaker 4: everybody decides that, well, they're going to be prioritized first,
- 9:05Speaker 4: I'll just say I'm indigenous. I think it's setting it
- 9:07Speaker 4: up our health system, not only dividing our health system,
- 9:10Speaker 4: but it's setting it up to cause absolute chaos within
- 9:14Speaker 4: the health system and causing more problems around those wait times.
- 9:17Speaker 4: And that again goes to the impacts of the Ala
- 9:21Speaker 4: Labor government overseeing a health system that has been under
- 9:26Speaker 4: huge pressure and crisis because they have not managed it
- 9:29Speaker 4: properly over many, many years.
- 9:33Speaker 1: Well, look, you're not saying anything there that I've heard
- 9:35Speaker 1: quite a number of Aboriginal leaders say too, that they
- 9:37Speaker 1: already Aboriginal only services are being absolutely roughted like student
- 9:44Speaker 1: placements or student grants, medicines and things by people who
- 9:49Speaker 1: are not Aboriginal claiming they are. And this will I think, Yes,
- 9:55Speaker 1: why wouldn't you, Why wouldn't you say you're Aboriginal. Georgia Crozier,
- 9:58Speaker 1: thank you so much indeed for you time, really appreciated
- 10:02Speaker 1: and as Georgie crows. You said, you know, this is
- 10:05Speaker 1: the kind of thing that you'll probably get more of
- 10:08Speaker 1: with this new treaty. And we'll talk about that treaty
- 10:10Speaker 1: in Victoria later in the show. That it really is
- 10:14Speaker 1: red hot. But let's go to something else that really
- 10:19Speaker 1: is alarming today, alarming news and makes you wonder how
- 10:24Speaker 1: much longer the Coalition can dither about scrapping Australia's promise
- 10:28Speaker 1: the cut emissions of carbon diox to zero net by
- 10:32Speaker 1: twenty fifty because you look at this latest disaster today
- 10:36Speaker 1: from the Albanizi governments and at zero schemes. I mean,
- 10:40Speaker 1: every week I give you more. Just last January, the
- 10:45Speaker 1: Prime Minister went to the giant Tomago aluminium smelter in
- 10:49Speaker 1: New South Wales, the Hunter Valley and told this twelve
- 10:51Speaker 1: hundred workers that the smelter was a great example of
- 10:55Speaker 1: his Made in Australia's scheme, which actually is a scheme
- 10:59Speaker 1: to spend billions of taxpas dollars are green power and
- 11:02Speaker 1: other green green schemes to stop this global warming whatever,
- 11:08Speaker 1: like a plan for supposedly green aluminium.
- 11:13Speaker 2: This is what a future Made in Australia looks like.
- 11:17Speaker 2: Us taking the products that come out of the ground
- 11:20Speaker 2: in Wheeper at the baux Site mine, making sure that
- 11:24Speaker 2: work occurs at Gladstone, and then the final product comes
- 11:28Speaker 2: out here at Tomago.
- 11:32Speaker 1: This is what a future made in Australia looks like,
- 11:36Speaker 1: says the pro Miniter of the people at Tomago. Has
- 11:38Speaker 1: labor not is behind him going Well, what it now
- 11:42Speaker 1: looks like is to Margo facing collapse, facing closure unless
- 11:47Speaker 1: it's given massive, massive government handoutse because electricity prices under
- 11:52Speaker 1: this Albanizi government have exploded and the government's green energy
- 11:56Speaker 1: simply isn't there to use. Instead, as the Margo's boss
- 12:00Speaker 1: put it, unfortunately, all market proposals receive so far show
- 12:04Speaker 1: future energy prices are not commercially viable and there is
- 12:08Speaker 1: significant uncertainty about when renewable projects will be available at
- 12:12Speaker 1: the scale we need. And let me tell you, the
- 12:14Speaker 1: more renewables you get, the more expensive they'll be. That's
- 12:16Speaker 1: been the international example. The tendency is quite pronounced. Opposition
- 12:21Speaker 1: leader Susan Lee asked the key question today, leaving Bone
- 12:25Speaker 1: babbling about how the Opposition was just gloating.
- 12:30Speaker 5: How can labor promise a future made in Australia when
- 12:33Speaker 5: all it actually delivers is future shutdowns, future job losses
- 12:38Speaker 5: and higher energy prices.
- 12:39Speaker 1: What we won't do.
- 12:41Speaker 6: What you are not here, any one member of this
- 12:44Speaker 6: government do is stand at this dispatch box and celebrate
- 12:47Speaker 6: the death of manufacturing jobs in this country.
- 12:51Speaker 7: I'm old enough to remember that happening.
- 12:53Speaker 1: I'm old enough to have been.
- 12:54Speaker 8: Sitting there when a treasure of Australia's go to manufacturing
- 12:58Speaker 8: to leave this country.
- 13:01Speaker 6: I remember what that was like and it won't happen
- 13:03Speaker 6: on our watch.
- 13:06Speaker 1: But Chris, it is happening. Your power prices are killing
- 13:11Speaker 1: our heavy industry. China will soon be doing aluminium smelting instead.
- 13:17Speaker 1: Joining me is National cenator in Matt Canavan, the former
- 13:19Speaker 1: Resources Minister, Matt Canavan. Thanks you, Tom. What does this
- 13:24Speaker 1: to maago announcement? Till you.
- 13:29Speaker 6: Well Andrew? The green energy chickens are coming home to roost.
- 13:34Speaker 6: We've been promised now for years that green energy would
- 13:38Speaker 6: lead to lower power prices, that it would save Australian manufacturing.
- 13:41Speaker 6: In fact, it would lead to a new renaissance. We
- 13:43Speaker 6: will promise to extra investment in critical minerals, in rare earths,
- 13:47Speaker 6: in hydrogen, remember that hydrogen all Thanks to the wonders
- 13:51Speaker 6: of wind and solar energy, and right now we're finding
- 13:55Speaker 6: out that the reality, the lived reality of renewable energy bites,
- 14:00Speaker 6: bites very badly. And it's very sad for the looking
- 14:03Speaker 6: like a thousand odd workers there in the Hunter Valley
- 14:05Speaker 6: that face a loss of their job because the labor
- 14:09Speaker 6: government here in Canberra has made promises that it can't keep.
- 14:13Speaker 6: Now what we hear from this government is the kind
- 14:17Speaker 6: of management gobbledegook that a once proud labor party would
- 14:21Speaker 6: have ridiculed, would have laughed at, because whenever we have
- 14:26Speaker 6: seen those manufacturing downturns in previous years, you always get
- 14:31Speaker 6: consultants and bosses of big companies talking of rationalization, globalization, downsizing,
- 14:39Speaker 6: and it's just all excuses to sack people and put
- 14:42Speaker 6: them on the streets. Now we have a labor government,
- 14:44Speaker 6: a labor government that revels in language like the global
- 14:49Speaker 6: energy transition.
- 14:50Speaker 1: What the hell does that mean?
- 14:52Speaker 6: What does that mean for any of these thousand families
- 14:54Speaker 6: that are now critics where they may not have a job.
- 14:57Speaker 6: It's just absolutely absurd that the Labor Party now, it's
- 15:01Speaker 6: just very sad that a proud labor party used to
- 15:03Speaker 6: stand up for workers is reduced now to this corporate
- 15:06Speaker 6: gobbledygoop that means nothing to anybody, is not delivering results.
- 15:10Speaker 1: There is no global energy revolution of any kind, transition
- 15:16Speaker 1: or whatever they want to call it. The world is
- 15:19Speaker 1: using more cold than ever. I mean, seriously. And the
- 15:21Speaker 1: crazy thing here, Matt about this, I think the whole
- 15:25Speaker 1: agenda is to cut our emissions. Now you've got to
- 15:29Speaker 1: Marga and so many other smelters. Well, they're exactly what
- 15:32Speaker 1: should be the first to go under a program designed
- 15:35Speaker 1: to do that, because they are the biggest users of electricity,
- 15:38Speaker 1: the biggest emitters in the country. But now that they
- 15:42Speaker 1: are closing as a consequence of policies to close heavy emitters,
- 15:47Speaker 1: now the federal and state government think, oh my gosh,
- 15:49Speaker 1: this is too embarrassing. They're offering massive subsidies investments to
- 15:53Speaker 1: these smelters to try to stay open in Wayala, the
- 15:56Speaker 1: smelter in Mount Azer in Bell Bay, Tamaga. I mean
- 16:00Speaker 1: this is madness, isn't it.
- 16:04Speaker 6: Yeah, Look it gets worse, Andrew.
- 16:05Speaker 1: Obviously, the.
- 16:09Speaker 6: Precise cause, the imminent cause here of this terrible situation
- 16:13Speaker 6: at Tomogo is the collapse in our energy competitiveness. The
- 16:17Speaker 6: force feeding of too much renewable energy into our electricity grid.
- 16:21Speaker 6: But over the longer term, here we have this absurd
- 16:23Speaker 6: situation that your government, the labor government, is placing a
- 16:28Speaker 6: carbon tax on facilities like tom Ago. Tom Ago is included,
- 16:32Speaker 6: but they have something called the safeguard mechanism. We're over
- 16:34Speaker 6: two hundred factories and mines and other terrible things that
- 16:37Speaker 6: produce jobs and wealth for our country. They're asked to
- 16:41Speaker 6: pay a carbon tax to reduce their emissions by five
- 16:43Speaker 6: percent a year. And most of those firms have to
- 16:45Speaker 6: go and buy carbon credits to meet those reductions. They
- 16:48Speaker 6: place a cost on their doing business. And as you say,
- 16:52Speaker 6: after imposing those costs, after effectively imposing a tax on
- 16:55Speaker 6: wealth creation, at tax on manufacturing, when that threatens the
- 16:59Speaker 6: viability of these institutions, the government comes along and is
- 17:02Speaker 6: coming along now and throwing billions of dollars of taxpayer support,
- 17:05Speaker 6: taxpayer pond support to try and keep them open. I mean,
- 17:08Speaker 6: the government doesn't know whether it's Arthur or Martha here.
- 17:10Speaker 6: Want to put a tax on businesses that you want
- 17:12Speaker 6: to keep going and want to keep being viable. It
- 17:16Speaker 6: makes no sense at all, and it certainly makes no
- 17:18Speaker 6: sense for Australia to be imposing these emission reductions, the
- 17:22Speaker 6: costs of these emission reductions on Australians when we are
- 17:26Speaker 6: doing so, our mission cuts are about double what the
- 17:29Speaker 6: developed world is doing. Not China and India, let's leave
- 17:32Speaker 6: them to one side. They're going. They're just going, like
- 17:34Speaker 6: the clapp is right on emissions. But even if you
- 17:37Speaker 6: compare us some benchmarkers to the US, to Japan, to Korea,
- 17:39Speaker 6: to Europe, we are doing double what those countries are doing.
- 17:44Speaker 6: Why when the govern announced it's twenty thirty five targets,
- 17:47Speaker 6: Matt Keane said that we have a higher ambition than
- 17:49Speaker 6: other advanced economies. Why why are we punishing the Australian people.
- 17:53Speaker 6: Why are we punishing Australian workers to go harder and
- 17:56Speaker 6: faster than the rest of the world on this issue.
- 17:57Speaker 6: It doesn't help the environment at all. It just is
- 18:00Speaker 6: losting Australian jobs.
- 18:02Speaker 1: And by the way, the more smelters the government props
- 18:05Speaker 1: up to make, say open, there are other companies then
- 18:09Speaker 1: that aren't so heavily unionized. That's the key here, Matt.
- 18:13Speaker 1: That must close because we've got to cut a missions
- 18:16Speaker 1: according to the government. So who who Which companies then
- 18:19Speaker 1: have to pay the price? Matt. I don't think now
- 18:23Speaker 1: that the Liberals have got any option but to scrap
- 18:26Speaker 1: the net zero target. I mean, look, look, it's a
- 18:28Speaker 1: target rich environment at the moment, Kevin Rudd. Matt is
- 18:32Speaker 1: back in Australia, and that's after Donald Trump, of course
- 18:35Speaker 1: told him a couple of weeks ago at the meeting
- 18:37Speaker 1: with our Prime minister, he'd never like our ambassador to Washington,
- 18:41Speaker 1: never like Rudd, never would. Rudd was questioned a couple
- 18:44Speaker 1: of hours ago about his relationship with Trump. This is
- 18:47Speaker 1: have a listen to this.
- 18:49Speaker 7: A good thank you do.
- 18:51Speaker 8: I haven't seen you for a while. It's good to
- 18:54Speaker 8: be back in Canberra. I'm here with the Trade Minister.
- 18:57Speaker 8: We're speaking to a gathering of Australian business who want
- 19:01Speaker 8: to do a lot of business, investment and trade with
- 19:05Speaker 8: the United States, and that's what we're here to do.
- 19:07Speaker 7: It's it good to have patch things up with President Trump.
- 19:09Speaker 7: He doesn't forget people who.
- 19:10Speaker 1: Quotes well, do you know something.
- 19:12Speaker 8: You know what I think is that the Prime Minister
- 19:14Speaker 8: had an excellent meeting with the President the United States
- 19:17Speaker 8: and we're here to do a job it's it.
- 19:19Speaker 7: Good to have patch things up with him.
- 19:20Speaker 4: Mister upp what do you think of those comments from
- 19:23Speaker 4: Donald Trump that he doesn't forget people who quote safe, Well.
- 19:25Speaker 8: You know what I would say is that I'm from
- 19:28Speaker 8: America and I'm here to help, and my name's Kevin.
- 19:32Speaker 1: Is here to help, Matt. Let's not forget that. Kevin
- 19:35Speaker 1: Ruders is one who first said Global Woman's a great
- 19:37Speaker 1: moral challenge of our time. Had an the mission's reduction
- 19:39Speaker 1: scheme that he said at the time it costs us
- 19:42Speaker 1: the average is around the dollar a year of What
- 19:44Speaker 1: a joke that was. He's here to help. Is that
- 19:47Speaker 1: good news?
- 19:49Speaker 9: Well?
- 19:49Speaker 6: I think what was mostly interesting about that is the
- 19:52Speaker 6: guy next to Kevin's a guy called Don Farrell, the
- 19:54Speaker 6: leader of the government sorry deput leader the Government Senate.
- 19:57Speaker 6: He's got an instring relationship with Kevin. I think he
- 19:59Speaker 6: was enjoying that more than anyone else. He may even
- 20:01Speaker 6: call them media and told them they'd be there.
- 20:03Speaker 1: To arrange that.
- 20:04Speaker 6: Who knows, but look, but look. I wish Kevin all
- 20:11Speaker 6: the best, Andrew always have. I want to see Australia
- 20:14Speaker 6: succeed on the world stage. He's an Australian ambassador. I
- 20:17Speaker 6: hope he does well. And look, the deal that was
- 20:20Speaker 6: done last week was good. But as I said last week,
- 20:23Speaker 6: the best deal for an international agreement is always its
- 20:26Speaker 6: first day. The real test comes when you have to
- 20:29Speaker 6: implement it, that the rubber hits the road. And going
- 20:31Speaker 6: back to rarely discussion, I'm very concerned here that the
- 20:34Speaker 6: government's promised a lot to deliver rare earths of the
- 20:37Speaker 6: critical minerals for the American government. But if we can't
- 20:40Speaker 6: have competitive energy prices, we're not going to be able
- 20:44Speaker 6: to succeed in the metals manufacturing markets that we need
- 20:46Speaker 6: to control to reduce the grip of the Chinese Commis party.
- 20:49Speaker 6: It's not just about digging stuff out out of the ground.
- 20:52Speaker 6: We have to succeed in the processing of those minerals
- 20:56Speaker 6: to supply useful products to America. And while ever we
- 20:59Speaker 6: have some of the high power prices in the world,
- 21:01Speaker 6: that is going to be nigh on impossible. So the
- 21:04Speaker 6: government needs to fix that solution if we're really going
- 21:07Speaker 6: to contribute to resilient supply chains in the free world.
- 21:13Speaker 1: Let me absolutely endorse and underline that point. Matt. Let's
- 21:17Speaker 1: not forget the reason China corners the world production of
- 21:21Speaker 1: these rare earth minerals is. One of the reasons is
- 21:24Speaker 1: that it has plentiful, cheap coal fired power, and that
- 21:29Speaker 1: is one reason. It invested in coal fired power for
- 21:31Speaker 1: Indonesia for the same reason, and that helped wipe out
- 21:34Speaker 1: our nickel industry, including nickel smelters completely. And now we're
- 21:38Speaker 1: going to be in the rare earths business.
- 21:41Speaker 6: Believe we send them out, we send them our coal
- 21:43Speaker 6: to do that, all right, send it to them.
- 21:49Speaker 1: Honestly, the further you go in this, the matter it is. Mcanavan,
- 21:53Speaker 1: Thank you so much for your time. After the break,
- 21:57Speaker 1: Donald Trump sensus hate is mad by refusing to rule
- 22:03Speaker 1: out running for a third time as president despite a
- 22:06Speaker 1: constitutional ban. Is he really a dictator or playing a
- 22:10Speaker 1: clever game? The answer after this, I bet you thought
- 22:19Speaker 1: Donald Trump was so nice to Anthony Albanezi at they're
- 22:22Speaker 1: meeting a couple of weeks ago. Turns out that's nothing
- 22:26Speaker 1: compared to the love the US President gave to Japan's
- 22:28Speaker 1: new and very conservative Prime Minister, Sanae Takiyashi Takaichi. I'll
- 22:35Speaker 1: get used to that today when they met to sign
- 22:37Speaker 1: a deal to send the US the rare earths it
- 22:40Speaker 1: needs for defense. Hey, that's a deal like we had
- 22:43Speaker 1: among other things. It's China threat. Just listen now to this.
- 22:50Speaker 9: I have always had a great love of Japan and
- 22:53Speaker 9: a great respect of Japan, and I will say that
- 22:57Speaker 9: this will be a relationship that will be stronger than
- 23:00Speaker 9: ever before, and I look forward to working with you
- 23:02Speaker 9: and on behalf of our country. I want to just
- 23:06Speaker 9: let you know anytime you have any question, any doubt,
- 23:09Speaker 9: anything you want, any favors you need, anything I can
- 23:13Speaker 9: do to help Japan, we will be there. We are
- 23:16Speaker 9: an ally at the strongest level, and it's a great
- 23:19Speaker 9: honor to be with you, especially so early in what
- 23:22Speaker 9: will be I think one of the greatest prime ministers.
- 23:25Speaker 1: I think you will be one of the greatest.
- 23:27Speaker 9: Everything I know from Shinzo and others, you will be
- 23:29Speaker 9: one of the great prime ministers.
- 23:34Speaker 1: Trump offering to do favors and not just demanding them.
- 23:39Speaker 1: I tell you that alliance between two very powerful democracies
- 23:43Speaker 1: is critical, particularly with the China threat. But for much
- 23:46Speaker 1: of the media, the attention is actually on what Trump
- 23:50Speaker 1: said on board is air Force one. He wasn't ruling
- 23:54Speaker 1: out define the US constitutional ban and running for a
- 23:57Speaker 1: third term as present. I would, I would, I would
- 24:02Speaker 1: love to do it. I have my best numbers. Ever,
- 24:05Speaker 1: it's very terrible.
- 24:06Speaker 9: I have my best nubb rest.
- 24:09Speaker 1: Did you read it? Am? I not rolling it out
- 24:12Speaker 1: until you'll have to tell me. Actually, his poll numbers
- 24:16Speaker 1: are slide and I never mind that Q the anti
- 24:19Speaker 1: Trump hysterics.
- 24:22Speaker 6: You know who told us he was going to be
- 24:24Speaker 6: a dictator on day one, and damn if he isn't
- 24:27Speaker 6: a dictator.
- 24:28Speaker 7: I turned to all that years ago.
- 24:30Speaker 10: He told me he was not going anyway. He had
- 24:33Speaker 10: he said it, he said, I want to be president
- 24:36Speaker 10: for life.
- 24:37Speaker 11: This is a guy who's got authoritarian envy.
- 24:43Speaker 1: Now is it really true to me? You know? Is
- 24:45Speaker 1: it Dictator Donald Trump? Joining me as a man who
- 24:48Speaker 1: knows Trump well? Sean Spicer, Trump's first White House spokesman,
- 24:54Speaker 1: Sean Spicer, Great to see you again. Look it's Donald
- 24:57Speaker 1: Trump just I don't know, trolling them media, pulling their
- 25:02Speaker 1: chain or does he really hope to run for a
- 25:04Speaker 1: third term as president?
- 25:06Speaker 10: Well, first of all, Andrew, it's great to see you
- 25:07Speaker 10: back again. I missed you. Not that James didn't do
- 25:11Speaker 10: a fantastic job in your place, but it's good to
- 25:13Speaker 10: see you.
- 25:15Speaker 1: Look.
- 25:15Speaker 10: I think it's not just the media. He loves screwing
- 25:18Speaker 10: with the left in this which the media is just
- 25:20Speaker 10: a subset of for him. This is fun. I think
- 25:23Speaker 10: he enjoys being president. I think he doesn't want anyone
- 25:26Speaker 10: to think he's going to stop. And that's part of it.
- 25:29Speaker 10: Is the strategy is to keep them guessing. Is he
- 25:31Speaker 10: really going to try to run again? Do we have
- 25:34Speaker 10: to worry about him staying on? Is he going to
- 25:36Speaker 10: still be the force to be reckoned with? But the
- 25:38Speaker 10: bottom line is he loves to keep them guessing. And
- 25:41Speaker 10: that's the fun part about it.
- 25:43Speaker 1: That's a very interesting point I hadn't considered, because, of course,
- 25:47Speaker 1: normally your last term is your lame duck tern. But
- 25:50Speaker 1: if people fear, they all hope that it's going to
- 25:55Speaker 1: be a third term, and that sort of WANs a
- 25:58Speaker 1: bit very interesting.
- 26:00Speaker 10: It's not just the left. He wants the folks on
- 26:01Speaker 10: the right to have a little bit of fear that
- 26:04Speaker 10: they shouldn't start maybe thinking about running if they don't
- 26:07Speaker 10: know that he's ruled it out. So it's not just
- 26:10Speaker 10: it's trolling the folks on the left and the media,
- 26:13Speaker 10: but it's also keeping the folks on the right at bay.
- 26:17Speaker 10: So if you're thinking of running for president, you better
- 26:20Speaker 10: be careful about even putting that toe in the water
- 26:23Speaker 10: until you know for certain what the answer is.
- 26:26Speaker 1: Very good, well, just because I was wondering why he
- 26:29Speaker 1: would do it when it all feeds into this, Oh
- 26:31Speaker 1: Trump is a dictator sort of mean that is on
- 26:36Speaker 1: the left. And this goes to another point that he made.
- 26:39Speaker 1: You know, he said that it's never had such good
- 26:43Speaker 1: poll numbers, so why you know, all that kind of thing.
- 26:45Speaker 1: But I don't know if that's true, Sean, because the
- 26:48Speaker 1: polls that I see, the rest Willson, Paul Nate Silver's poll,
- 26:51Speaker 1: of all the polls, they all show a fall in
- 26:54Speaker 1: his support most people, more people don't support him than do.
- 26:59Speaker 1: What's going on there?
- 27:01Speaker 10: Do you think the base has never been stronger? So
- 27:04Speaker 10: while the overall number, Donald Trump knows that his base
- 27:07Speaker 10: is one hundred percent behind him and that's rock solid,
- 27:11Speaker 10: so that wherever he goes, whatever he decides, they will
- 27:14Speaker 10: follow him. And I think that's that's kind of what
- 27:17Speaker 10: is really important here. In the first term, you know,
- 27:21Speaker 10: it was members of Congress and people on the base
- 27:23Speaker 10: that pushed back against him on some of his policies,
- 27:26Speaker 10: some of the ideas that he had this time. People
- 27:29Speaker 10: are marching in lockstep with him, and I think that
- 27:32Speaker 10: there's a big difference to some degree between the overall
- 27:35Speaker 10: poll number, which I think he sometimes wants you to
- 27:38Speaker 10: you know, he does a little bit of slight a hand,
- 27:40Speaker 10: but more importantly the base when it comes to whether
- 27:43Speaker 10: or not he would get the nomination again, I don't
- 27:45Speaker 10: think there's any question about that.
- 27:47Speaker 1: Donald Trump is going to have his first big sit
- 27:50Speaker 1: down in years now with China's prisident Jijing Ping. That's
- 27:56Speaker 1: south in South Korea on Friday and our time. The
- 28:00Speaker 1: US and China in the middle of a huge trade war,
- 28:04Speaker 1: huge tariffs and all this kind of battle. They've also
- 28:08Speaker 1: of course in a battle for world power. China is
- 28:11Speaker 1: also restricting very critically the rare earth minerals that the
- 28:16Speaker 1: US needs for its defense force in particular. So things
- 28:20Speaker 1: are pretty pretty frau. What are you expecting?
- 28:25Speaker 10: I think you're absolutely right on the rare earth minerals,
- 28:27Speaker 10: which is why, in fact, you know, we had what
- 28:30Speaker 10: I always thought was an excellent, above average meeting with
- 28:34Speaker 10: your Prime minister that I think went better than expected.
- 28:37Speaker 10: And why President Trump continues to meet with other Asian
- 28:41Speaker 10: leaders and Canadian leaders about rare earth minerals because and
- 28:46Speaker 10: I think that plays into China, which is they realize
- 28:48Speaker 10: that in the short term they may have the vast
- 28:51Speaker 10: majority of rare earth minerals that are critical to our economy,
- 28:54Speaker 10: but they see that the US is already looking to
- 28:56Speaker 10: decouple and find other sources. I have high exps for
- 29:00Speaker 10: this meeting with President she I think this is going
- 29:03Speaker 10: to be a big win for the United States. And
- 29:05Speaker 10: I think that President Trump is going to have a
- 29:07Speaker 10: lot to say and a lot to show the American
- 29:10Speaker 10: people when he returns from this three country stop.
- 29:13Speaker 1: And of course, if those tensions within the US and
- 29:15Speaker 1: China is particularly the trade tensions, that can only be
- 29:18Speaker 1: good for the rest of the world too. He's also
- 29:21Speaker 1: thinking meeting the North Korean dictator. I'm not sure if
- 29:25Speaker 1: that's going to happen or not. What's the story here.
- 29:30Speaker 10: If you had asked me this twenty four hours ago,
- 29:32Speaker 10: I might have given you a pretty solid no. I'm
- 29:35Speaker 10: starting to think that there's a good possibility that it happens.
- 29:38Speaker 10: He's in South Korea. It's not often you're in South Korea,
- 29:42Speaker 10: and so the ability to get to the demilitarized zone
- 29:45Speaker 10: and have a quick bilateral meeting with Kim Jong on,
- 29:49Speaker 10: isn't that out of the question, And to be honest
- 29:51Speaker 10: with you, I think more of it than anything else
- 29:54Speaker 10: comes down to just building on a personal relationship, keeping
- 29:57Speaker 10: the lines of communications open with a nuclear power that
- 30:01Speaker 10: previously doesn't have a lot of back and forth with US. So,
- 30:06Speaker 10: you know, to Trump, I think it's a little bit
- 30:07Speaker 10: of a point of personal pride that he had that
- 30:10Speaker 10: meeting with Kim Jong on, that relationships have sort of
- 30:14Speaker 10: warmed a little bit more than they say. We're both
- 30:16Speaker 10: in the b Obama administration before Trump's first term and
- 30:19Speaker 10: then during the Biden administration that he's that he's following.
- 30:23Speaker 10: So it's a little bit of personal pride, and it's
- 30:25Speaker 10: also a little bit of national security.
- 30:28Speaker 1: Well, it's interesting that if that happens, he'll have met
- 30:31Speaker 1: within twenty four hours or whatever it is the leaders
- 30:36Speaker 1: of the two countries which are most keeping Russia in
- 30:39Speaker 1: the game in its war in Ukraine North Korea with weapons,
- 30:43Speaker 1: China with diplomatic and secondary kind of help as well.
- 30:47Speaker 1: So we shall see if that has.
- 30:49Speaker 10: But don't you think that's brilliant.
- 30:52Speaker 1: Well, I really to see results, Sean.
- 30:54Speaker 7: I agree.
- 30:55Speaker 10: Sometimes there's a little bit of chess going on here
- 30:57Speaker 10: that we're not seeing, and I think that's to be
- 30:59Speaker 10: honest with you, there's a lot of questions in the
- 31:01Speaker 10: United States right now whether or not the real big
- 31:05Speaker 10: ask of China will be to back off of Russia.
- 31:08Speaker 10: I'm skeptical of that. When I talk to a lot
- 31:10Speaker 10: of people close to the Trump administration who otherwise wouldn't be,
- 31:14Speaker 10: they feel a lot more optimistic that we may get
- 31:16Speaker 10: something out of these negotiations with China that was unexpected,
- 31:21Speaker 10: in that being some kind of commitment as far as
- 31:25Speaker 10: what they will do to keep Russia and check again,
- 31:28Speaker 10: I've got my fingers crossed high hopes. I think that
- 31:32Speaker 10: it would be a huge, huge game changer, though, especially
- 31:35Speaker 10: when it comes to isolating Putin and you talk about
- 31:38Speaker 10: meeting two of the three real big dictators. The only
- 31:40Speaker 10: thing you've now done. You've talked, I ran down, You've
- 31:43Speaker 10: met with China, hopefully gotten a deal, met with Kim
- 31:45Speaker 10: Jong un, you got a deal. You've really started to
- 31:47Speaker 10: isolate Putin at that point.
- 31:49Speaker 1: Well to that point, of course, Donald Trump has imposed
- 31:54Speaker 1: the very strict sanctions on Russia's too big export earning
- 31:59Speaker 1: oil companies and wanted China and India to stop buying
- 32:03Speaker 1: their oil and that to cut off putin finances at
- 32:06Speaker 1: the knees. So yeah, look, you may be absolutely correct.
- 32:09Speaker 1: Your and Spice are always great to talk to you.
- 32:11Speaker 1: Thanks for your time.
- 32:13Speaker 10: Good to see and I'll see you next week.
- 32:16Speaker 1: After the break. It's not just about preferential treatment by
- 32:19Speaker 1: race at hospitals. Australian said no to divining uspur a race,
- 32:23Speaker 1: but victorious government didn't give the message and it's about
- 32:26Speaker 1: to force through something much more radical and dangerous than
- 32:30Speaker 1: even the voice I mentioned at the top of the show,
- 32:38Speaker 1: how one hospital in Melbourne is now treating patients by race.
- 32:41Speaker 1: Aboriginal patients in emergency automatically assigned to category three in
- 32:46Speaker 1: the tree arch system, ahead of patients in categories four
- 32:48Speaker 1: or five. But this week's State Parliament is expected to
- 32:52Speaker 1: pass a treaty bill to give even more special rights
- 32:54Speaker 1: to the one percent of Victorians to say they're Aboriginal.
- 32:57Speaker 1: And I fear this bill is going to inspire labor
- 32:59Speaker 1: governments in every state unless the dangers are exposed. Now
- 33:04Speaker 1: this bill aims to set up a body called Gelong
- 33:07Speaker 1: Wall or whatever to be paid more than seventy million
- 33:11Speaker 1: dollars a year, and it's going to be made up
- 33:13Speaker 1: of this the first People's Assembly that really exists, a
- 33:16Speaker 1: kind of aboraginal advisory parliament, but with extra powers, plus
- 33:20Speaker 1: a justice arm and a truth telling arm that I
- 33:23Speaker 1: guarantee is not going to be about pushing truth but propaganda.
- 33:28Speaker 1: Join me is Lanicolaris. She's just am barrister and a
- 33:30Speaker 1: member of the Victorian Bar Council and she has checked
- 33:34Speaker 1: what all this actually means and she's got very worried. Lanicolaris,
- 33:38Speaker 1: thank you so much for your time. What is this
- 33:40Speaker 1: bill really trying to do?
- 33:45Speaker 11: Well, thank you Andrew. What this bill is doing is
- 33:48Speaker 11: it is seeking to create a new state within our state,
- 33:53Speaker 11: an indigenous only government that exists separately from, but together
- 33:58Speaker 11: with our state or within our state. It is essentially
- 34:01Speaker 11: a co governance structure. And once that mechanism you set up,
- 34:05Speaker 11: whereby we have the co governance structure, it will then
- 34:09Speaker 11: seek to have a transference of power to it by
- 34:13Speaker 11: way of treaties. So it's called a statewide treaty bill,
- 34:17Speaker 11: but it's actually setting up this co governance structure. The
- 34:20Speaker 11: first set of powers will be transferred by way of
- 34:23Speaker 11: the first Treaty, and we will see many many more
- 34:26Speaker 11: treaties to come whereby more powers will be transferred over
- 34:29Speaker 11: to it.
- 34:31Speaker 1: Now non average of Victorians obviously won't be able to
- 34:34Speaker 1: vote for this first People's Assembly, but this very supercharge
- 34:39Speaker 1: Assembly will have a say over or in the ninety
- 34:42Speaker 1: nine percent of Victorians who aren't Aboriginal. What powers do
- 34:45Speaker 1: you think it's going to have over the State Parliament.
- 34:50Speaker 11: So, in respect of the State Parliament, because it is
- 34:53Speaker 11: a co governance structure, any bill, no matter what the
- 34:56Speaker 11: bill is about, the member who introduces that bill must
- 35:00Speaker 11: consult with this new Indigenous state within our state. So
- 35:05Speaker 11: that's in respect of how it will affect State Parliament.
- 35:08Speaker 11: But the powers go much further than just State Parliament.
- 35:12Speaker 11: In respect of every state government department. Guidelines must be
- 35:17Speaker 11: developed in consultation with this new body for everything including health, education, justice,
- 35:25Speaker 11: and guidelines need to be implemented that address everything that
- 35:29Speaker 11: is in the first State wide Treaty and all the
- 35:31Speaker 11: further treaties to come, which of course we don't know
- 35:34Speaker 11: what they will include at this point.
- 35:38Speaker 1: It's really strange. There's also going to be a truth
- 35:42Speaker 1: telling arm of this new body that can dictate what
- 35:45Speaker 1: version of history should be taught. But can that version
- 35:48Speaker 1: be forced on us? I mean, I can see the
- 35:50Speaker 1: government imposing it on schools, but beyond that, well.
- 35:55Speaker 11: It certainly will be forced upon our children. Just alluded to,
- 36:01Speaker 11: So children from prep to year ten will have to
- 36:06Speaker 11: be taught what is called truth telling, and truth telling
- 36:09Speaker 11: will be based upon the report of the europ Justice Commission. Now,
- 36:13Speaker 11: any person worth their salt knows that the europ Justice Commission,
- 36:17Speaker 11: the proceedings before that body were not conducted in any
- 36:21Speaker 11: rigorous way. There was a conclusion that was determined from
- 36:26Speaker 11: the outset, and then there was no rigorous testing of evidence.
- 36:30Speaker 11: There was no presentation of alternative views. And we have
- 36:34Speaker 11: the report that essentially is exactly as foreshadowed, and that's
- 36:40Speaker 11: what's going to be taught to our children.
- 36:44Speaker 1: Oh no, I listened in some of the sessions and
- 36:46Speaker 1: I was discussed. It was as remote from a fair
- 36:50Speaker 1: proceeding as you can possibly get. Now, the thing here,
- 36:54Speaker 1: you're talking about a co governance system, co government system.
- 36:57Speaker 1: There's just one percent of Victorians have Aboriginal or claim
- 37:01Speaker 1: Aboriginal descent, and I would be astonished if any of
- 37:05Speaker 1: them didn't have non Aboriginal ancestry as well. The whole
- 37:10Speaker 1: idea of needing a separate government is preposterous and racist
- 37:14Speaker 1: in my view. Now, what is it going to lead to.
- 37:18Speaker 1: We've already got Coui courts, so Aboriginal only a justice system,
- 37:24Speaker 1: a race based treatment at Saint Vincent's Hospital. Is this
- 37:27Speaker 1: sort of the thing that you think is Victoria's future.
- 37:32Speaker 11: It certainly is. And so we do have caury courts,
- 37:35Speaker 11: but they pertain to sentencing. So because we're going to
- 37:39Speaker 11: have this co governance system and there is this foreshadow
- 37:42Speaker 11: transference of power, we will see, for example, a completely
- 37:46Speaker 11: separate indigenous justice system because the new state within our
- 37:51Speaker 11: state has the powers to make laws that apply only
- 37:55Speaker 11: to Indigenous people. So what we're going to see is
- 37:57Speaker 11: a complete separation of our society based on race. We've
- 38:01Speaker 11: seen only the beginning of it with St. Vincent's Hospital today.
- 38:07Speaker 1: It's just insane. And how long is it supposed to
- 38:10Speaker 1: go for? We're intermarry like crazy and it should. Honestly,
- 38:15Speaker 1: the whole thing is so racist, lot, I mean, you're
- 38:17Speaker 1: sitting there with a straight face having to describe this.
- 38:20Speaker 1: But this is disgusting, It is so disgusting, and fixing
- 38:24Speaker 1: a problem that it will can't fix it makes problems.
- 38:28Speaker 1: Lana Coolarius, I urge people to read what you've been
- 38:30Speaker 1: writing about this because this is so staggering that you
- 38:34Speaker 1: need to hear the details to see just how preposterous
- 38:37Speaker 1: it is. Thank you so much for your time after
- 38:42Speaker 1: the break the astonishing scandal of child abuse in childcare.
- 38:47Speaker 1: But you know, if you can't blame Catholics, our labor
- 38:50Speaker 1: governments aren't this time that keen on inquiries into this,
- 38:54Speaker 1: the gross double standards. After this, it seems if you
- 39:01Speaker 1: can't blame Jews or Catholics, it's not a huge story
- 39:04Speaker 1: for politicians of the left. If you think that's a
- 39:07Speaker 1: cheap shot, then compare and contrast. Thirteen years ago, the
- 39:13Speaker 1: Gillard labor government set up a Royal commission into institutional
- 39:16Speaker 1: responses in the child sex abuse. Now, there was a
- 39:20Speaker 1: real anti Catholic witch hunt going on back then, and
- 39:23Speaker 1: the Catholic Church was the main target of that Royal commission,
- 39:27Speaker 1: even though the vast majorities of majority of abusing priests
- 39:31Speaker 1: in evidence before the Commission were offending decades earlier, nine
- 39:35Speaker 1: in fifties, sixties, Most of the seventies, and of the
- 39:38Speaker 1: Commission's fifty seven case studies into abuse, plenty mentioned the church,
- 39:43Speaker 1: just one mentioned state schools, and none were about abuse
- 39:47Speaker 1: that was occurring right then and right now in childcare,
- 39:51Speaker 1: abuse that could have been stopped. This abuse covered in
- 39:55Speaker 1: the ABC's four Corner show last night.
- 39:58Speaker 12: Our investigation identified one hundred and forty eight childcare workers
- 40:04Speaker 12: alleged or convicted of child sexual abuse or inappropriate conduct.
- 40:09Speaker 12: Forty two are convicted right now, fourteen of facing charges
- 40:16Speaker 12: like twenty six year old Joshua Brown, accused of seventy
- 40:19Speaker 12: three offenses, including sexually penetrating children. There's another ninety four
- 40:27Speaker 12: some court, some banned, some got away with it, and
- 40:31Speaker 12: we can't tell you who they are.
- 40:35Speaker 1: But there's some difference. No Catholic Church to blame, but
- 40:38Speaker 1: politicians maybe could be. So this time, Labour has no
- 40:42Speaker 1: appetite at all for another royal commission like the one
- 40:47Speaker 1: into the Catholic Church last time, but not into child's
- 40:51Speaker 1: six abuse.
- 40:51Speaker 12: Today, the Prime Minister has refused to consider a royal
- 40:56Speaker 12: commission into childcare.
- 40:59Speaker 3: Payble call for commissions whenever anything comes out immediately, They
- 41:03Speaker 3: take years, they cost a lot of money.
- 41:06Speaker 1: The Royal Commission into Institutional Responsors to child's actually abused
- 41:09Speaker 1: skipped over the early childcare sector and so we really
- 41:13Speaker 1: need to grab the bull by the horns now.
- 41:15Speaker 12: At the same time, the ACT and Victoria are fighting
- 41:18Speaker 12: to keep childcare file secret, terrified of what full transparency
- 41:23Speaker 12: might reveal.
- 41:27Speaker 1: Credit to the ABC's Four Corners for noting the difference.
- 41:31Speaker 1: It is true state governments, especially Victoria's Labor one at
- 41:34Speaker 1: this time, even holding back data on child abuse in childcare.
- 41:39Speaker 1: And let's not forget Victoria's then bailue Liberal government happily
- 41:43Speaker 1: held its own parliamentary inquiry, instaid the Catholic Church and
- 41:47Speaker 1: enthusiastically backed by the following Labor government, which pushed the
- 41:51Speaker 1: persecution the innocent Cardinal George Pell. But now it's keener
- 41:56Speaker 1: and what seems to cover up. I'm joined by Will Kingston,
- 41:58Speaker 1: host of Far at Will Podcasts from the Spectator and
- 42:01Speaker 1: Politics and Culture The sconi's host Sanika to Georgio. Will
- 42:05Speaker 1: and Danika both great to see you again, Will. One
- 42:08Speaker 1: hundred and forty eight childcare workers alleged or convictive of
- 42:12Speaker 1: child sex abuse inappropriate conduct. I tell you what, if
- 42:15Speaker 1: the abuses were Catholic priests, I doubt this scandal would
- 42:20Speaker 1: be not getting the inquiry that it seems to demand.
- 42:25Speaker 1: Do you think that's the difference here, Yes, Andrew.
- 42:29Speaker 5: This morning, I've flown in from the UK, a country
- 42:34Speaker 5: where for decades, young white working class girls have been
- 42:39Speaker 5: raped and in many cases murdered by predominantly Pakistani Muslim men,
- 42:45Speaker 5: and authorities have turned a blind eye due to cultural sensitivity.
- 42:49Speaker 5: I think we've got the similar problem in Australia, where
- 42:51Speaker 5: I think there is a disproportionate level of sexual assault
- 42:55Speaker 5: and violence in remote indigenous communities, and often a blind
- 43:00Speaker 5: eye is turned because of cultural sensitivities. And that is
- 43:04Speaker 5: relevant to this story because I don't think the left
- 43:07Speaker 5: really looks at the victims anymore. I'm not sure they
- 43:09Speaker 5: truly care. I don't think they look at the nature
- 43:12Speaker 5: of the crime anymore. I think they look at the
- 43:15Speaker 5: group that the perpetrators fall into, and if it is
- 43:18Speaker 5: a group that they want to go after, like the
- 43:20Speaker 5: Catholic Church because it has had power in the past,
- 43:23Speaker 5: they will pursue it. If it is a group that
- 43:25Speaker 5: they want to provide a bit more leeway to like
- 43:28Speaker 5: indigenous communities, they will turn a blind eye. And I
- 43:31Speaker 5: guess if it's a group that they're apathetic towards, like
- 43:35Speaker 5: childcare workers, then who knows. The fact is this is
- 43:39Speaker 5: the toxicity of politics laid Bear, Andrew, and until we
- 43:44Speaker 5: get back to the roots of real equality and justice,
- 43:48Speaker 5: then this sort of stuff will keep happening.
- 43:52Speaker 1: Well, I think that's particularly true when some of the
- 43:54Speaker 1: childcare centers are funded or overseen by government, and you
- 43:58Speaker 1: might be blaming politicians. Is the what do you make
- 44:00Speaker 1: of all this?
- 44:01Speaker 13: Well, look, I think it is really curious Andrew, and
- 44:04Speaker 13: I do think that you raise a point that there
- 44:06Speaker 13: is hypocrisy, and I can only really think of one
- 44:09Speaker 13: main reason why, and that's because, for example, the Catholic
- 44:13Speaker 13: Church are considered to be I guess, the conscious of
- 44:16Speaker 13: morality when it comes to the sanctity of life, the
- 44:19Speaker 13: sanctity of marriage, whether people believe in that or they
- 44:22Speaker 13: don't believe in that. And it can be said that
- 44:25Speaker 13: those views are unpopular in an increasingly secular society.
- 44:29Speaker 1: Yet you've got.
- 44:30Speaker 7: Labor governments around the country and at a federal.
- 44:33Speaker 13: Level which are increasingly legislating against a lot of things
- 44:37Speaker 13: that the Catholic Church stands for, for example euthanasia and abortion,
- 44:42Speaker 13: and so it's just so easy to then target the
- 44:46Speaker 13: Catholic Church and not look at anything else. Yet you've
- 44:49Speaker 13: got serious allegations of child sexual abuse across the country
- 44:54Speaker 13: in childcare centers, schools and in some Aboriginal communities, And
- 45:00Speaker 13: all I can think put it down to is that
- 45:01Speaker 13: the Catholic Church, like these moral arbiters Labour, doesn't agree
- 45:06Speaker 13: with what they're saying. So it's easy for the Left to,
- 45:08Speaker 13: I guess, put everybody from the Church into this one
- 45:10Speaker 13: category of being pedophiles, which is wrong and incorrect. And
- 45:14Speaker 13: I am not saying that things didn't happen, and obviously
- 45:17Speaker 13: the Royal Commission exposed a lot that was going on in.
- 45:20Speaker 7: The Catholic Church. But I just think it does expose
- 45:23Speaker 7: the blatant.
- 45:24Speaker 13: Hypocrisy of the left, that they're easy to turn a
- 45:26Speaker 13: blind eye to some things but go after others when
- 45:30Speaker 13: it doesn't necessarily agree with their views.
- 45:34Speaker 1: Look, I'm afraid that seems only too clear to me,
- 45:37Speaker 1: but I don't know, maybe I'm wrong. Will this extraordinary
- 45:43Speaker 1: story broken in the Heraldsun newspaper about race based treatment
- 45:49Speaker 1: in a hospital so proud of it that it is
- 45:53Speaker 1: now a finalist in a government sponsored health award that
- 45:58Speaker 1: it automatically puts aboriginal patients in the emergency section of
- 46:04Speaker 1: Saint Vincent's Hospital in category three of five, so if
- 46:08Speaker 1: you're category four or five, they go to the head
- 46:11Speaker 1: of the Q by virtue of being aboriginal. Look, I'm
- 46:15Speaker 1: just absolutely stunned. Or it's Australia, like the frog and
- 46:20Speaker 1: the boiling water, now coming to accept this is yeah, yeah,
- 46:23Speaker 1: this is actually good.
- 46:26Speaker 5: I think Australia is, to be honest, about three to
- 46:28Speaker 5: five years behind the US and the UK, who are
- 46:31Speaker 5: finally starting to wake up to how toxic this type
- 46:34Speaker 5: of identity politics is. Andrew, every doctor takes a hipocratic
- 46:38Speaker 5: oath which says you must protect human life and that
- 46:42Speaker 5: is indiscriminate of race, religion, creed, color, you name it.
- 46:46Speaker 5: I find this, frankly quite sickening and it goes to
- 46:50Speaker 5: show that the institutions within this country are so corrupted
- 46:55Speaker 5: by this identity politics ideology that they will go as
- 46:58Speaker 5: far as prioritizing the health and safety of some people
- 47:03Speaker 5: over others, not out of need, but out of the
- 47:05Speaker 5: color of their skin. It really is something which I think,
- 47:11Speaker 5: to be honest, I'm lost for words over.
- 47:14Speaker 1: I don't get a Danika. So if you're Aboriginal with
- 47:17Speaker 1: a splinter in emergency at Saint Vincent's, you're given a
- 47:22Speaker 1: higher priority. And I don't know who's in category four
- 47:24Speaker 1: some of the fractured arm.
- 47:27Speaker 13: Well, but the question is, Andrew, how can you tell
- 47:29Speaker 13: if somebody's Aboriginal or not? I mean, could you just
- 47:31Speaker 13: rock up and say, yeah, I'm Aboriginal and then suddenly
- 47:34Speaker 13: you're at the start of the queue. Can you imagine
- 47:37Speaker 13: if this story was a story about the shoe being
- 47:40Speaker 13: on the other foot, that Aboriginal people came in second
- 47:43Speaker 13: best to say white people. Can you imagine the left,
- 47:46Speaker 13: the outcry from the left, the cause of racism. And
- 47:49Speaker 13: I've got to say, Andrew, we now know a little
- 47:51Speaker 13: bit of what the Victorian.
- 47:52Speaker 7: Treaty looks like.
- 47:53Speaker 13: This is the Treaty in action where every day Laura
- 47:57Speaker 13: biding Victorians who pay their taxes, who are hard workers,
- 48:01Speaker 13: they're going to come in second best. I mean, when
- 48:03Speaker 13: I read this story, I really was just shocked and
- 48:06Speaker 13: worried that if a family member needed to be treated
- 48:09Speaker 13: in an emergency department, they would have to prove who
- 48:12Speaker 13: they are before they can actually get treated.
- 48:15Speaker 7: Sixty percent of us voted not to this, Andrew.
- 48:19Speaker 1: More fool us for thinking that was the decisive vote.
- 48:24Speaker 1: Will Kingston Dnika to Georgia, Thank you so much to
- 48:26Speaker 1: you both. Coming up next, Sharry Markson with a very
- 48:29Speaker 1: interesting interview. Good Night,
