- 0:02Speaker 1: Welcome to the Late de Bait.
- 0:06Speaker 2: Well, it's great to have your company on the Late
- 0:08Speaker 2: Debate James Macpherson with Liz Stra and Caleb Bond coming up.
- 0:12Speaker 2: Thieves caught on CCTV breaking into a Queensland home. But
- 0:16Speaker 2: you'll never believe how they got in through the doggie door.
- 0:20Speaker 3: Will show you that. Were you laughing for dog breaking
- 0:24Speaker 3: and entering?
- 0:24Speaker 1: Wolf?
- 0:24Speaker 4: Wolf dog?
- 0:26Speaker 5: Do they have I know I was going to say,
- 0:28Speaker 5: actually I left my keys in the house one night
- 0:31Speaker 5: and I had to get the neighbor to climb through
- 0:33Speaker 5: the window to get the keys with me.
- 0:37Speaker 4: But do you have any children?
- 0:40Speaker 1: Just feed through the window.
- 0:42Speaker 3: We'll show you the vision of these thieves through the
- 0:44Speaker 3: doggy door. A little later.
- 0:45Speaker 2: Plus, when we look at the papers, a man who's
- 0:48Speaker 2: been doing Welcome to Countries for the past decade told
- 0:51Speaker 2: he needs to stop because he's never proven his own
- 0:54Speaker 2: aboriginality and apparently keeps inviting or welcoming rather the wrong
- 0:58Speaker 2: indigenous groups. Plus students and then exclusive South Australian school
- 1:03Speaker 2: expelled after setting fire to a rival schools jumper. All
- 1:07Speaker 2: of that a little later, but first, former AFL champion
- 1:12Speaker 2: turned Lord Meyrill campaigner Anthony Cooter Fides has announced his
- 1:17Speaker 2: plan to revive Melbourne's ailing CBD free coffee now at
- 1:24Speaker 2: least it's one coffee per person and only on a Monday.
- 1:28Speaker 2: Is this a great idea or is it proof that
- 1:30Speaker 2: AFL footballers should never be politicians. Have a look at
- 1:33Speaker 2: his campaign advertisement here it is.
- 1:37Speaker 1: A Calmton great promising to make Melbourne great a end.
- 1:41Speaker 5: Well, where are the people right now?
- 1:43Speaker 3: How many as sole missions?
- 1:43Speaker 1: Isn't it really the safety the highlesses?
- 1:48Speaker 4: Just over two months.
- 1:51Speaker 6: Now?
- 1:51Speaker 2: I don't know about you, but after that soul stirring
- 1:54Speaker 2: campaign video, I was expecting a sort of a New
- 1:57Speaker 2: York Rudy Giuliano style plan to get rid of graffiti,
- 2:01Speaker 2: remove homeless people from the streets and really spruce up
- 2:04Speaker 2: the place, crack down on crime. But instead Anthony Kudafines
- 2:08Speaker 2: has announced this plan. I quote, most Melbournians love coffee
- 2:13Speaker 2: and our cafes are renowned around the world for it.
- 2:16Speaker 2: So for those that make the effort to come into
- 2:18Speaker 2: the CBD on a Monday, we'll shout.
- 2:21Speaker 3: You a coffee.
- 2:22Speaker 2: Let's put smiles back on people's faces again. A free
- 2:26Speaker 2: coffee can make a big, big difference. So you face
- 2:32Speaker 2: with the choice of working from home, or you can
- 2:36Speaker 2: battle the traffic, put up with the delays on public transport,
- 2:39Speaker 2: you can navigate those annoying bike lanes. You can try
- 2:42Speaker 2: and avoid the multiple protests that happen from time to
- 2:45Speaker 2: time in the Melbourne CBD.
- 2:47Speaker 3: Sell a kidney to avoid to.
- 2:49Speaker 2: Rather pay for your parking step over homeless people on
- 2:52Speaker 2: your way to the office.
- 2:53Speaker 3: But the reward is you get a.
- 2:55Speaker 2: Free flat white on a Monday. I think Carlton have
- 2:59Speaker 2: more chain of winning the premiership this year than this
- 3:02Speaker 2: plan being a success. And the way Victorian's finances are,
- 3:07Speaker 2: I reckon it wouldn't be a barristo made coffee Lizen
- 3:10Speaker 2: Caleb Instant.
- 3:17Speaker 4: My mistake.
- 3:18Speaker 7: Honestly, I so dislike these kind of gimmicky things because
- 3:22Speaker 7: what it also says is I think you as ratepayers
- 3:25Speaker 7: are stupid, Like who would fall for this? Like you say,
- 3:29Speaker 7: who is going to trade in the convenience of staying home?
- 3:34Speaker 1: And you left Outlourne.
- 3:36Speaker 7: Sure I'm going to sit for eight hours in a
- 3:39Speaker 7: soulless office under blinking fluorescent lights for eight hours.
- 3:44Speaker 4: But I get a free coffee in the morning.
- 3:46Speaker 8: I mean at least this guy has realized his jurisdiction here,
- 3:51Speaker 8: because initially he and his campaign announced that they were
- 3:55Speaker 8: going to work with the state government.
- 3:57Speaker 4: To introduce laws to force.
- 4:00Speaker 7: Anyone working for government, anyone working in corporate to be
- 4:04Speaker 7: in the office at least.
- 4:06Speaker 4: Four days a week.
- 4:08Speaker 7: And then heard from the state government who was like, buddy,
- 4:11Speaker 7: that that's not your job, that's our job if it's
- 4:15Speaker 7: going to happen. So he's toned it down now and
- 4:17Speaker 7: just said, okay, free coffee is once a week on
- 4:20Speaker 7: a Monday. But honestly, who is going to trade in
- 4:23Speaker 7: the convenience of working from home for a free coffee
- 4:27Speaker 7: on the morning James James is girding out of bed.
- 4:30Speaker 1: James looks interested. I reckon, you take the coffee.
- 4:32Speaker 2: If it was my barista at Castle Towers shopping Center,
- 4:35Speaker 2: I reckon I would.
- 4:36Speaker 1: I would do it.
- 4:38Speaker 3: Coffee.
- 4:39Speaker 5: All I can say is that, to quote Jack Nicholson
- 4:43Speaker 5: in As Good as It Gets, which is a fantastic film,
- 4:46Speaker 5: if that did it for me, I'd be the luckiest
- 4:48Speaker 5: guy alive. I mean, I imagine, oh yeah, I've been
- 4:52Speaker 5: working from home all this time, and I'm finally going
- 4:54Speaker 5: to go back into the office because I get a
- 4:56Speaker 5: free coffee on a Monday for six months.
- 4:58Speaker 1: It's a trial, right, six month trial that it would be.
- 5:02Speaker 5: It kind of reminds me when people complain about you know,
- 5:05Speaker 5: they're not recognized enough in the workplace and they really
- 5:08Speaker 5: want to pay rise, but they haven't had one for
- 5:10Speaker 5: three years and everyone's complaining to the boss. Look, you've
- 5:13Speaker 5: got to do something here. We're not feeling that great.
- 5:16Speaker 5: And then the boss is like, I know what's better
- 5:18Speaker 5: than a pay rise. I'll buy you all pizzas on
- 5:21Speaker 5: a Friday.
- 5:22Speaker 2: Right.
- 5:22Speaker 1: It's trying to bribe.
- 5:23Speaker 5: People in the piddliest way possible to come back to
- 5:27Speaker 5: the city.
- 5:28Speaker 8: Now.
- 5:28Speaker 5: Look, something has to be done because Melbourne CBD, if
- 5:32Speaker 5: you look at the number of people going through it
- 5:35Speaker 5: on the weekend, they actually have more people in the
- 5:38Speaker 5: Melbourne CBD than they did pre pandemic. And during the
- 5:42Speaker 5: week it's just totally empty. It's turned into more of
- 5:44Speaker 5: an entertainment precinct and a shopping precinct for people on
- 5:48Speaker 5: the weekend because they're at home during the week and
- 5:50Speaker 5: they go well on the weekend, I want to get
- 5:52Speaker 5: out of home for a while and go into the
- 5:54Speaker 5: city and of course, you can't really support a CBD
- 5:57Speaker 5: seven days a week on a two day economy, so
- 6:00Speaker 5: he's throwing something out there. I suppose that's good, But
- 6:04Speaker 5: is a coffee really going to turn the dial? I
- 6:06Speaker 5: suppose you could say, pardon the pun, that it's worth
- 6:09Speaker 5: a shot, boom boom, But really, I can't.
- 6:15Speaker 4: Likes your dad joke. I can't see it.
- 6:17Speaker 1: I can't see it doing it.
- 6:18Speaker 4: Vager to last, but not least. It's not free.
- 6:23Speaker 7: If the government tells you, whether their local, state or federal,
- 6:26Speaker 7: that something is free, guess who's paying for it you. Now,
- 6:31Speaker 7: last week we bought you the story that New South
- 6:34Speaker 7: Wales Water had finally admitted, very quietly on their website
- 6:39Speaker 7: that PIFAs otherwise known as forever chemicals, had been found
- 6:43Speaker 7: in Sydney's water supply. Now this may have come as
- 6:46Speaker 7: a big shock to a lot of people, given prior
- 6:48Speaker 7: to that their official position was and I quote, there's
- 6:53Speaker 7: no need.
- 6:54Speaker 4: No, this isn't a direct quote. Hang on, I'm just
- 6:56Speaker 4: going to paraphrase for them.
- 6:58Speaker 7: They said there was no need to test pfas in
- 7:00Speaker 7: the water supply because there's no known pfas in the
- 7:04Speaker 7: water supply.
- 7:06Speaker 4: Hot tip people, if you.
- 7:08Speaker 7: Test for it, then you'll know whether there is any
- 7:11Speaker 7: pfas in the water supply. This week we bring you
- 7:15Speaker 7: a story that has told us damn in the Blue
- 7:19Speaker 7: Mountains has.
- 7:20Speaker 4: Been shut down.
- 7:22Speaker 7: Why they found PFASs in it. They're very undecided what
- 7:27Speaker 7: the source of these pfasts are.
- 7:30Speaker 9: They just know that it's in there and they're on
- 7:33Speaker 9: the job to find out why. Wen Day's today's statement, sorry,
- 7:38Speaker 9: yesterday's statement from Water New South Wowes so they said
- 7:41Speaker 9: this dam does not supply raw water directly, but as
- 7:45Speaker 9: a precautionary measure, it has been disconnected from supply while
- 7:49Speaker 9: further investigations are conducted. They said, Water New South Wales
- 7:53Speaker 9: will keep the community informed as the investigation progresses and
- 7:58Speaker 9: work closely with New Sowell's Health and Sydney Water to
- 8:02Speaker 9: ensure drinking water remains safe. But of course we know
- 8:06Speaker 9: here in Australia safe is a very relative term, since
- 8:11Speaker 9: we learned in April, thanks to the brilliant work of
- 8:14Speaker 9: Carrie Felner at the Sydney Morning Herald, who has been
- 8:17Speaker 9: researching this for over a decade, that Australian drinking water
- 8:21Speaker 9: allows a carcinogen speaking of pfas at one hundred and
- 8:26Speaker 9: forty times the US rate.
- 8:29Speaker 7: So the rate that our water people say, oh, found pfas,
- 8:33Speaker 7: but it's perfectly fine, is a rate that the US says,
- 8:38Speaker 7: that's one hundred and forty times over what we allow
- 8:42Speaker 7: in ours. Keeping in mind their health authorities in the
- 8:45Speaker 7: US have advised that there is no safe level of
- 8:49Speaker 7: exposure to these chemicals. They are linked to cancer and
- 8:54Speaker 7: a myriad of other health complications. Is the reason why
- 8:58Speaker 7: the US believes it spends over two hundred and fifty
- 9:01Speaker 7: billion dollars a year on the health side effects of
- 9:05Speaker 7: p fas because these are forever chemicals, so whether they're
- 9:09Speaker 7: being pumped out into the environment, we know that they're
- 9:12Speaker 7: in our food, they're in our food packaging, they're in
- 9:15Speaker 7: women's hygiene products. I mean, how many ways do you
- 9:18Speaker 7: want to introduce these into our bodies.
- 9:20Speaker 4: They're in band aids.
- 9:22Speaker 7: Yeah, let's not make the pfas do any work getting
- 9:25Speaker 7: into your bloodstream. Let's just slap it straight on open wounds.
- 9:28Speaker 7: And of course, the government is very reticent to do
- 9:31Speaker 7: anything about this because it would require a lot of
- 9:35Speaker 7: money a to clean up the waterways and other land
- 9:38Speaker 7: that has been polluted by it, and B you have
- 9:42Speaker 7: to cut it off at the source, don't you, which
- 9:44Speaker 7: would mean putting your foot down on multiple billion dollar industries.
- 9:50Speaker 7: So the government puts this in the too hard basket,
- 9:54Speaker 7: and pfas experts across the world has said, this is
- 9:58Speaker 7: the global emergency. Some one needs to do something because
- 10:01Speaker 7: for as long as all these products are still being created,
- 10:07Speaker 7: these chemicals don't break down in the environment, they don't
- 10:10Speaker 7: break down in people's bodies.
- 10:12Speaker 4: So the world is quite literally.
- 10:14Speaker 7: Just going to keep compounding in chemicals. It's something that
- 10:19Speaker 7: not many people know much about, and I'm just glad
- 10:21Speaker 7: it's getting some recognition now that.
- 10:24Speaker 2: There's three things that are really disturbing about this story.
- 10:26Speaker 2: The first that you've mentioned is Ward in New South
- 10:28Speaker 2: Wales only acted after the Sydney Morning Herald went on
- 10:32Speaker 2: and on about this issue, and finals they acted and
- 10:36Speaker 2: found there was an issue. The second problem, it's the
- 10:39Speaker 2: story today tells that there are three fire stations within
- 10:42Speaker 2: a two kilometer radius of the Cascade Water filtration plant
- 10:46Speaker 2: where they've found higher levels there than in other parts
- 10:49Speaker 2: of Sydney, and they haven't quite got around to checking
- 10:52Speaker 2: those fire stations which are known to stock prefas chemicals,
- 10:56Speaker 2: they haven't got around to checking whether there might be
- 10:58Speaker 2: contamination coming from there. And then the third worry to
- 11:01Speaker 2: me is that, as you said, the US have already
- 11:04Speaker 2: said no exposure is appropriate, and the Australian authorities have said, well,
- 11:09Speaker 2: we are going to review things. But that was a
- 11:12Speaker 2: couple of months ago. You've got America has already done
- 11:15Speaker 2: the hard work. They've already got the data, so it's
- 11:17Speaker 2: not like Australian authorities have to start from scratch. They
- 11:20Speaker 2: could determine very quickly what the danger is, what the
- 11:23Speaker 2: measures to remediate the situation would be, and make a
- 11:28Speaker 2: quick decision.
- 11:29Speaker 1: Australia's so far behind the eight ball here.
- 11:31Speaker 5: And I love the idea that you wouldn't test for
- 11:34Speaker 5: something because you didn't believe it was there. I mean,
- 11:36Speaker 5: I look forward to every oncologist in the country now
- 11:39Speaker 5: applying that to cancer.
- 11:40Speaker 1: Look, I'm not going.
- 11:41Speaker 5: To run any tests to see whether you've got cancer,
- 11:43Speaker 5: because as far as I'm aware, there's no cancer in
- 11:46Speaker 5: your body. I will just leave that up to chance
- 11:48Speaker 5: and figure that out further down the line. And then
- 11:50Speaker 5: of course when they do the test they find that
- 11:52Speaker 5: the cancer is there, or in this case, they discovered
- 11:54Speaker 5: that the PFAS is there. And I don't see how
- 11:57Speaker 5: governments can possibly suggest that it's not worth testing for
- 12:01Speaker 5: because governments have already paid compensation to people whose properties
- 12:05Speaker 5: have been infected by PFAS. And you talk about fire stations,
- 12:10Speaker 5: because where this has sort of been talked about for
- 12:12Speaker 5: the last few years is a around fire stations and airports,
- 12:17Speaker 5: particularly defense force baces, because it's been used in firefighting
- 12:21Speaker 5: foam for a long time. And so if you've got
- 12:24Speaker 5: a property next to a raft base or next to
- 12:28Speaker 5: a firefighting station, et cetera, there's a high likelihood that
- 12:31Speaker 5: there is PFAS in your soil, high concentrations of it,
- 12:35Speaker 5: and that's already been found. The government has paid out,
- 12:37Speaker 5: the federal government hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation
- 12:41Speaker 5: to landowners whose land has been infected by PFAS, So
- 12:45Speaker 5: they already know it exists, They already know it's leached
- 12:48Speaker 5: into the land in certain parts of the country. Why
- 12:51Speaker 5: would they then not automatically assume that it is leaking
- 12:54Speaker 5: into the water table and into the waterways and into
- 12:57Speaker 5: dams and think, well, yes, we do actually have to
- 13:00Speaker 5: do the testing because of course it's there.
- 13:03Speaker 7: Like chemicals supposed to go, that's just it.
- 13:07Speaker 4: You find going for them.
- 13:08Speaker 7: You can't eradicate them, so they have to go somewhere.
- 13:12Speaker 7: And massive companies like the billion dollar behemoth of three
- 13:17Speaker 7: M located in the States. There's an entire docco and
- 13:20Speaker 7: this called how to Poison a Planet. They were sued
- 13:23Speaker 7: to within an inch of their lives because it was
- 13:25Speaker 7: shown that for decades they knew that this stuff was
- 13:29Speaker 7: highly poisonous, highly toxic. There were people around the base,
- 13:34Speaker 7: living and working, going to school who were dropping dead
- 13:38Speaker 7: of cancer. In one school, over twenty kids died because
- 13:43Speaker 7: all their waterways were highly highly poisoned with this stuff.
- 13:47Speaker 4: So the thing that.
- 13:50Speaker 7: Gets me more than anything else is these companies know
- 13:53Speaker 7: that they are manufacturing these products, even tea bags with
- 13:58Speaker 7: using pfas, and they don't need to.
- 14:01Speaker 4: This is the twenty first century.
- 14:03Speaker 7: I mean, come on, you know how to make women's
- 14:06Speaker 7: hygiene products, any product that you want to name without
- 14:09Speaker 7: using these highly toxic chemicals that are basically microdoise dosing
- 14:13Speaker 7: people with poison on a daily basis. And the government
- 14:17Speaker 7: we can talk about doing a cleanup of the waterways
- 14:20Speaker 7: and all the rest of it.
- 14:21Speaker 4: But until you cut it off at the source.
- 14:24Speaker 7: Those PIFAs are being consumed by us, inhaled by us,
- 14:27Speaker 7: and yes, even in our drinking water.
- 14:30Speaker 1: I reckon.
- 14:30Speaker 5: The next thing they need to do is test the
- 14:32Speaker 5: land around McLaren Vale, because if it's getting into the
- 14:35Speaker 5: vines around there and then making it into the wine
- 14:38Speaker 5: that I'm drinking every day, I am exceedingly concerned about.
- 14:42Speaker 5: We've talked this week about the fact that the federal government,
- 14:45Speaker 5: the Albanezi government, has done something good for once. They're
- 14:47Speaker 5: cracking down on foreign students. They're reducing the intake er
- 14:51Speaker 5: at least halting the intake and telling universities that they
- 14:55Speaker 5: must take fewer international students. And good on them, because
- 15:00Speaker 5: we know what a cash cow it has been for
- 15:02Speaker 5: universities that don't really care the service they provide. They
- 15:06Speaker 5: just want the money. And the other thing that the
- 15:07Speaker 5: federal government did last week was to get rid of
- 15:11Speaker 5: one hundred and fifty tertiary education outfits and these registered
- 15:16Speaker 5: training organizations TAFE type organizations that have been set up
- 15:21Speaker 5: supposedly as ghost outfits. Now, the way this works is
- 15:25Speaker 5: that someone sets up a registered training organization. Someone from
- 15:29Speaker 5: overseas then applies for a student visa to come out
- 15:33Speaker 5: to Australia, which is given to them, and then this
- 15:36Speaker 5: registered training organization provides them no training whatsoever. It is
- 15:40Speaker 5: a scam to get people into the country Illegitimately, well
- 15:44Speaker 5: one hundred and forty of those outfits have had their
- 15:46Speaker 5: contracts ripped up and sor one hundred and fifty of
- 15:49Speaker 5: them have been ripped up. Now one hundred and forty
- 15:52Speaker 5: have been put on notice. But there's the question now
- 15:55Speaker 5: of what about all the students quote unquote they're not
- 15:58Speaker 5: actually students that were allowed into the country through these
- 16:01Speaker 5: dodgy outfits that are still here.
- 16:04Speaker 1: Surely they should be deported.
- 16:06Speaker 5: And this has been pointed out by a few economists
- 16:09Speaker 5: and others today. Leith van Nonsulin, who you often see
- 16:12Speaker 5: here on Sky News's and the chief economist at Macro Business,
- 16:16Speaker 5: he said, shouldn't the operators of the ghost colleges be
- 16:19Speaker 5: punished and the fake students who enrolled in them deported?
- 16:22Speaker 5: There need to be consequences for deliberately abusing Australia's visa system.
- 16:28Speaker 5: Melanie McFarlane, she's the chair of Immigration Consultants of Australia.
- 16:32Speaker 5: She said there's still a feeling that some of these
- 16:35Speaker 5: colleges are managing to operate. You get the dodgy operators
- 16:38Speaker 5: working with dodgy agents. It's always been like that and
- 16:41Speaker 5: it's gone on for years and the whole sector now
- 16:44Speaker 5: seems to be penalized for a few dodgy operators. She
- 16:47Speaker 5: says that they open up ASQA, that's the Australian Skills
- 16:51Speaker 5: Quality Authority. They come in, they close them down, or
- 16:55Speaker 5: they try to, but then they go to the tribunal,
- 16:58Speaker 5: thereby extending their life in the country. There's been so
- 17:01Speaker 5: much talk about closing ghost colleges. It's not that it's
- 17:05Speaker 5: about making them harder to open, and yes that is correct.
- 17:09Speaker 5: It would be better to not have them open in
- 17:11Speaker 5: the first place, so you then don't have to clean
- 17:13Speaker 5: the issue up later on. But surely these mean they're
- 17:16Speaker 5: probably not kids, they'd be young adults. Have come in
- 17:19Speaker 5: under false pretenses. They should be on the first plane
- 17:23Speaker 5: out of the country. There's clearly a massive loophole here
- 17:26Speaker 5: that is being used to abuse. To make your way
- 17:29Speaker 5: into the country under illegitimate means, send them.
- 17:32Speaker 3: Away that the numbers are quite astonishing.
- 17:34Speaker 2: I mean two hundred and ninety colleges, the one hundred
- 17:37Speaker 2: and fifty that have been shut down, one hundred and
- 17:39Speaker 2: forty that have been warned, how you need to start
- 17:41Speaker 2: holding classes otherwise we'll revoke your license. How have that
- 17:45Speaker 2: many colleges of dubious quality approved in the first place.
- 17:51Speaker 2: The problem caleb with tracking down these people who've gotten
- 17:55Speaker 2: here clearly under false pretenses with student visas, but they're
- 17:58Speaker 2: not students because there's no classes. The former Department Secretary
- 18:03Speaker 2: of the Immigration Department, Abil Risby, I think I've got
- 18:08Speaker 2: his name correct here. The problem is the resources in
- 18:13Speaker 2: the department are not sufficient to track down what amount
- 18:16Speaker 2: two thousands of people who are here on visas of
- 18:19Speaker 2: dubious qualities.
- 18:21Speaker 3: And even when they give.
- 18:22Speaker 2: Them a notice that we're going to deport you, invariably
- 18:25Speaker 2: they'll apply for protection visas because most of the people
- 18:28Speaker 2: that apply to these ghost colleges are from countries that
- 18:31Speaker 2: are high risk i e. People overstaying their visas, being
- 18:35Speaker 2: here for dubious means.
- 18:36Speaker 3: So the chances of.
- 18:38Speaker 2: These people being deported is quite small. And the other
- 18:41Speaker 2: point here that's interesting is we're not for the housing crisis.
- 18:45Speaker 3: I don't think we'd be talking about this.
- 18:46Speaker 2: It's only because of the housing crisis that the focuses
- 18:49Speaker 2: come on international students. This has been happening for a
- 18:52Speaker 2: long time. It's continued to happen. It's only the housing
- 18:56Speaker 2: crisis that suddenly focused everybody on an issue that should
- 18:59Speaker 2: have been a big issue previously.
- 19:01Speaker 7: Yeah, because suddenly labor wants to be seen as doing
- 19:04Speaker 7: something about the housing crisis, so they're trying a double triple,
- 19:09Speaker 7: quadruple pronged method.
- 19:11Speaker 4: But this obviously needs doing.
- 19:13Speaker 7: Kudos to them for actually doing something about it. Apparently
- 19:17Speaker 7: there's eight hundred of these VET companies or institutions like
- 19:23Speaker 7: you just said, I mean over a quarter of them
- 19:25Speaker 7: have just either been chucked in the bin or given notice.
- 19:29Speaker 4: That notice being until December.
- 19:32Speaker 7: If you don't start classes up again by resume classes
- 19:36Speaker 7: presuming that they.
- 19:37Speaker 4: Used to run them. If you don't resume.
- 19:39Speaker 7: Them by September, you're closed come twenty twenty five. But
- 19:45Speaker 7: like you said, we've now seen this up tick in
- 19:48Speaker 7: onshore refugee applications as these students get busted and then
- 19:54Speaker 7: say well can I stay I'm claiming asylum, but given
- 19:58Speaker 7: like you said, Caleb, they already come here in a
- 20:02Speaker 7: dodgy way. It's not like, oh, poor students, you guys
- 20:05Speaker 7: were doaded. You thought you were legitimately coming here to study.
- 20:08Speaker 7: It turns out that institution was lying to you. No,
- 20:13Speaker 7: the ones that have been shut down were shut down
- 20:15Speaker 7: because they were shown to not have been running any
- 20:18Speaker 7: training for twelve months or more. So those students, there
- 20:23Speaker 7: is no way in heck that they were just blissfully unaware.
- 20:27Speaker 7: They've come here, they haven't done any study, and now
- 20:30Speaker 7: the government's cranking challege should absolutely be deported. But I
- 20:35Speaker 7: don't know what it is with this government, and most
- 20:37Speaker 7: governments for that matter, they never want to deport anyone
- 20:41Speaker 7: when the people are like, we literally came here to
- 20:44Speaker 7: rot the city.
- 20:45Speaker 2: Legal system is set up so that there's so many
- 20:47Speaker 2: steps they can take before they're ever removed from the country.
- 20:51Speaker 3: It's money, it's time, it's resources.
- 20:53Speaker 1: Like it's just.
- 20:54Speaker 3: Easier for governments to just say, oh, well.
- 20:56Speaker 5: But if you wanted to apply for asylum because you
- 20:59Speaker 5: were worried about the country you'd come from, just apply
- 21:01Speaker 5: for asylum in the first place. Don't come here under
- 21:04Speaker 5: false pretenses. And that's why they ought to be deported.
- 21:07Speaker 1: Even if you have.
- 21:08Speaker 5: Concerns about the country, they're going back to you broke
- 21:10Speaker 5: the rules to enter the country in the first place,
- 21:13Speaker 5: so surely you've already proved yourself to be a person
- 21:16Speaker 5: of bad character, and on that basis, you don't get
- 21:19Speaker 5: to stay, even if you've applied for asylum.
- 21:22Speaker 1: You know, afterwards, it seems a bit ridiculous to me.
- 21:25Speaker 2: Well, speaking of ridiculous, the government continue going on about
- 21:28Speaker 2: misinformation and disinformation, and so the Labor government have established
- 21:33Speaker 2: a portal whereby.
- 21:34Speaker 3: People can report fake news.
- 21:36Speaker 2: But it's backfired spectacularly because people have started submitting examples
- 21:41Speaker 2: of the Labor Party's campaign advertisements and advertising for fact checking.
- 21:47Speaker 2: The ALP website portal asks people to fight lives and
- 21:51Speaker 2: fake news by submitting examples, and they've been absolutely overwhelmed
- 21:57Speaker 2: by examples that Labor politicians have been tweeting out. During
- 22:01Speaker 2: the nuclear argument, particularly, we had ridiculous memes from Labor
- 22:05Speaker 2: politicians such as you see on screen, and so people
- 22:09Speaker 2: have been submitting these examples of fake news and lies
- 22:13Speaker 2: to the Labor Party fact checkers. Since the Labor Party
- 22:16Speaker 2: is so concerned about misinformation and disinformation. I'm not sure
- 22:21Speaker 2: this fact checking portal will continue. It might just be
- 22:26Speaker 2: quietly removed.
- 22:27Speaker 4: Might be removed.
- 22:28Speaker 3: I'll be quicker to get rid of that than they
- 22:30Speaker 3: will Dodgy Visa.
- 22:32Speaker 4: Oh well, it's a lot easier just to take a
- 22:35Speaker 4: portal off the web. This reminds me of when Scotland.
- 22:39Speaker 7: Passed those hate speech laws and then got slammed with
- 22:42Speaker 7: thousands of complaints of the own the government's own racism,
- 22:47Speaker 7: which they defined as hate speech, given their own Prime
- 22:51Speaker 7: Minister had given that infamous white there's all these white people,
- 22:56Speaker 7: all the bureaucracy is white here in Scotland, and people
- 23:00Speaker 7: were pointing out the fact. Hang on a minute, you
- 23:03Speaker 7: guys have classified hate speech in this country and you've
- 23:07Speaker 7: fallen foul a lot of times yourself.
- 23:10Speaker 4: So I love the trolls. Keep it coming.
- 23:12Speaker 7: Australians like, doesn't that just make you happy?
- 23:15Speaker 6: Oh?
- 23:15Speaker 5: I know it's great, isn't it. But don't forget that.
- 23:17Speaker 5: You know this is just some Labor Party website, right,
- 23:20Speaker 5: it's not an official thing, but the government actually wants
- 23:24Speaker 5: to part part pass. I wish they would part with it,
- 23:27Speaker 5: just send it off into the ether. They want to
- 23:30Speaker 5: pass misinformation disinformation laws that would put Akma in charge
- 23:34Speaker 5: of deciding whether or not things that people post online
- 23:37Speaker 5: and we say here on television are misinformation and disinformation, etcetera.
- 23:42Speaker 1: So the government has now had a.
- 23:44Speaker 5: Little taste of how this could go. Maybe you should
- 23:47Speaker 5: pass the misinformation disinform No, don't even and then and then,
- 23:52Speaker 5: much like in Scotland, we can just send in everything
- 23:56Speaker 5: politicians say and get at to rule on that just
- 23:59Speaker 5: jam up the servers, jam up the system. Had the
- 24:02Speaker 5: bureaucrats going one hundred miles an hour working out whether
- 24:06Speaker 5: when Anthony Alberizi said he'd take two hundred and seventy
- 24:08Speaker 5: five dollars off your power bill, that was misinformation.
- 24:11Speaker 2: And the problem with your plan is when there's complaints
- 24:14Speaker 2: about us with misinformation, we pay the lawyer fees, and
- 24:17Speaker 2: when we complain about the governor misinformation, we pay the
- 24:20Speaker 2: lawyer fees.
- 24:21Speaker 3: So that's where that plan fulls down.
- 24:23Speaker 4: And also they make the rules.
- 24:25Speaker 7: So of course, and we know that the government isn't
- 24:28Speaker 7: included in the misinformation disinformation billings or you and me,
- 24:33Speaker 7: it's the media, it's everybody, but the government. They can
- 24:38Speaker 7: still say whatever they like to the US now where
- 24:42Speaker 7: Kamala Harris, in her run for president, has suddenly become.
- 24:47Speaker 4: A fan of a border wall.
- 24:50Speaker 7: You've got to see this to believe this. Remember she
- 24:53Speaker 7: labeled Trump's idea of a wall on the border to
- 24:58Speaker 7: stop illegal migrants from star hurry into the US. She
- 25:01Speaker 7: labeled it disgusting, it was racist, it was every kind
- 25:05Speaker 7: of isam under the sun.
- 25:07Speaker 4: She has done the most spectacular.
- 25:10Speaker 7: One eighty saying that she will in fact sign into
- 25:13Speaker 7: effect the very bill that means that the wall would
- 25:18Speaker 7: be finished. She even included in her presentation on this
- 25:22Speaker 7: pictures of the unfinished wall, saying that she would complete it.
- 25:28Speaker 4: I just cannot believe this.
- 25:32Speaker 7: And the media has been largely completely silent about this.
- 25:35Speaker 7: I mean, speaking of a massive backflip. I have not
- 25:40Speaker 7: seen something this huge in a long time.
- 25:43Speaker 4: Because she was so vocal about it at the time.
- 25:45Speaker 7: And of course she has been the Biden administrations border
- 25:49Speaker 7: czar or czar arena for all those pronoun people out
- 25:53Speaker 7: there for years now, done a patently dismal job, obviously,
- 25:59Speaker 7: and now she's said as president, she'll build the wall.
- 26:03Speaker 3: I think she's incredible.
- 26:04Speaker 2: Read the New York Post, which had statistics showing thirty
- 26:07Speaker 2: five percent of Americans believe the southern border is the
- 26:10Speaker 2: number one issue, and fifty three percent of Americans actually
- 26:13Speaker 2: support a wall, So hence the backflip.
- 26:16Speaker 3: But I mean, it's hard to keep up with us politics.
- 26:18Speaker 2: We were told Joe Biden was so bad he couldn't
- 26:22Speaker 2: possibly be their candidate. Now we're told he's an historic
- 26:25Speaker 2: president who should be on Mount Rushmore.
- 26:27Speaker 3: We're told Biden was.
- 26:29Speaker 2: Mentally incapable of running again, but he's not so incapable
- 26:32Speaker 2: that he can't continue with the nuclear codes right now.
- 26:34Speaker 2: We were told Kamala her annoying cackle. It's not an
- 26:37Speaker 2: annoying cackle, it's joy. And she's not ditzy. She's just
- 26:41Speaker 2: got the common touch. And she's not against the wall.
- 26:44Speaker 2: She's for the wall. These policies that there were nothing
- 26:49Speaker 2: to do with her. It's not like she's been the
- 26:51Speaker 2: vice president for the past four years. It's almost like
- 26:54Speaker 2: she's running against herself. She allowed all these migrants to
- 26:57Speaker 2: flood into the country, and now she's saying, I'm going
- 27:00Speaker 2: to fix it, as if she had nothing to do
- 27:02Speaker 2: with the problem at all.
- 27:03Speaker 5: As she's saying about everything she said, we're going to
- 27:06Speaker 5: make everything better. We're going to make everything better. What
- 27:09Speaker 5: have you been doing for the last four years? You're
- 27:11Speaker 5: the vice president right now to do it now?
- 27:13Speaker 1: Exactly exactly.
- 27:14Speaker 5: But of course, you know, she doesn't have much record
- 27:16Speaker 5: of anything herself to talk about, which is why, as
- 27:19Speaker 5: we said the other night, she talks incessantly about when
- 27:22Speaker 5: she was a prosecutor because she can't really talk about
- 27:24Speaker 5: what she did as vice president. But you know, you'd
- 27:27Speaker 5: imagine Kamala Harris has managed to, I don't know, turn
- 27:29Speaker 5: on the TV and just see what's going on around
- 27:33Speaker 5: the US. I was saying months ago that the one
- 27:35Speaker 5: thing that could could sink Biden terribly and was going
- 27:39Speaker 5: to eventually cause him.
- 27:40Speaker 1: To do a backflip.
- 27:41Speaker 5: Of course, he didn't actually have to do the backflip
- 27:43Speaker 5: in the end because he was replaced by Kamala was
- 27:47Speaker 5: the border, because the tide was starting to turn. And
- 27:50Speaker 5: if she's turned on the TV, she's seeing things like this.
- 27:54Speaker 5: For instance, this is allegedly a gang of illegal Venezuelans
- 27:58Speaker 5: in the US taking over an entire apartment building. And
- 28:26Speaker 5: these illegal migrants have become so lazy that after you know,
- 28:30Speaker 5: cloring their way over the border, they've got past ice,
- 28:33Speaker 5: and they've gone through barbed wire fences and whatever. They
- 28:36Speaker 5: couldn't possibly walk any further distance, so they're now hitching
- 28:40Speaker 5: a ride on school buses.
- 28:43Speaker 6: A group of migrants tried to board a school bus
- 28:45Speaker 6: this morning while it was traveling to a school. The
- 28:48Speaker 6: superintendent for the Homol de Alzourra Union School District and
- 28:51Speaker 6: formed parents of that incident earlier today. It happened at
- 28:54Speaker 6: one of the stops on the school district's bus route
- 28:57Speaker 6: that heads to Oak Grove Middle School and Primary. Meanwhile,
- 29:01Speaker 6: yesterday afternoon, in a similar area along another route, the
- 29:04Speaker 6: superintendent says that a group of migrants tried to stop
- 29:07Speaker 6: another bus. Border Patrol CHP in the Sheriff's office have
- 29:11Speaker 6: now been informed of these incidents. The superintendent says that
- 29:14Speaker 6: for the safety of everyone, if a driver sees a
- 29:17Speaker 6: group of migrants at a bus stop, they will drive
- 29:19Speaker 6: past it on and move on to the next It was.
- 29:24Speaker 5: Just a matter of time before she decided to do
- 29:27Speaker 5: something about it.
- 29:28Speaker 1: And don't forget.
- 29:29Speaker 5: I think it was back in twenty fourteen that there
- 29:31Speaker 5: was a bill put up under Obama's presidency that was
- 29:35Speaker 5: sponsored by Chuck Schumer. To start building order fences. What
- 29:41Speaker 5: an idea? Then, when Trump said he was going to
- 29:44Speaker 5: do it, Oh no, no, no, we couldn't possibly have that.
- 29:47Speaker 5: All the Democrats are back on board with it.
- 29:49Speaker 1: How good is that.
- 29:50Speaker 5: Let's stick in the US, where the FBI is continuing
- 29:54Speaker 5: their investigation of sorts into the attempted.
- 29:58Speaker 1: Assassination of Trump.
- 30:00Speaker 5: I say of sorts because well, they're not really uncovering much.
- 30:04Speaker 5: I mean, this has been going on for what the
- 30:06Speaker 5: better part of two months now, and they still haven't
- 30:08Speaker 5: been able to find a motive for why this kid
- 30:11Speaker 5: tried to shoot at Trump. But they have now decided
- 30:15Speaker 5: perhaps he was going to go for Biden as well.
- 30:18Speaker 1: Can you believe it? They've been going through his computers and.
- 30:22Speaker 5: They've decided that he showed a sustained, detailed effort to
- 30:26Speaker 5: plan an attack on some event. Now you know, that
- 30:31Speaker 5: could be Biden, that could be Trump because apparently he
- 30:35Speaker 5: was looking up the details of Biden events as well.
- 30:38Speaker 5: Who knows, he was just looking for someone to shoot
- 30:40Speaker 5: Trump just happened to be the one who was closest,
- 30:43Speaker 5: the earliest, according to what the FBI has found so far,
- 30:48Speaker 5: the search terms they found on his computer he looked up,
- 30:51Speaker 5: where will Trump speak from at Butler Farm Show?
- 30:55Speaker 1: I would have thought on the podium.
- 30:57Speaker 5: Butler Farm Show podium was the next he looked up
- 31:00Speaker 5: and Butler Farm Show photos. He was also a bit
- 31:05Speaker 5: concerned about the weather, apparently as the event drew close,
- 31:08Speaker 5: so he was looking up what the forecast was going
- 31:10Speaker 5: to be, because God forbid, you wouldn't want to try
- 31:12Speaker 5: to assassinate someone in the rain, would you. I mean,
- 31:16Speaker 5: how can the FBI possibly have still not worked out
- 31:20Speaker 5: what the motive was to try and shoot at the
- 31:23Speaker 5: former president could be the next president of the United States.
- 31:27Speaker 5: It kind of reminds you this investigation of this scene
- 31:31Speaker 5: from the jerk.
- 31:39Speaker 10: Hey, Harry, like as, what's the matter with these camps? Yuh, nothing,
- 31:51Speaker 10: These cans are defective. They're springing league. Come over here
- 31:55Speaker 10: and look at that. Listen, you better d for Cobo.
- 31:58Speaker 10: You're gonna spring a league. Ah, we don't have defector camp.
- 32:01Speaker 10: We have a defective point on there. He hates these camps.
- 32:09Speaker 1: Stay away from that cam.
- 32:12Speaker 5: Jeez, you have a lot of confidence, don't you know?
- 32:14Speaker 5: This is six weeks ago that he shot at Trump
- 32:17Speaker 5: and they still haven't worked oud way tried to do.
- 32:19Speaker 2: It forty seven days since an assassin's bullet hit Trump
- 32:22Speaker 2: in the side of the head, and they're completely clueless.
- 32:25Speaker 2: I mean, all we've learned is that he had a
- 32:26Speaker 2: social media account where he was a bit anti Semitic,
- 32:29Speaker 2: a bit anti immigration, a little bit of political violence.
- 32:32Speaker 2: But that's really all. They've interviewed a thousand people and
- 32:35Speaker 2: really can't discern any motive. But you know, he might
- 32:38Speaker 2: as well, as you said, have hit Biden or Trump,
- 32:41Speaker 2: you know, whichever. I think they've seen the mileage that
- 32:44Speaker 2: Trump has got out of this assassination attempt. For about
- 32:48Speaker 2: five minutes after the assassination attempt, everybody was, you know, wow,
- 32:52Speaker 2: Donald Trump really could have died. He was quite heroic
- 32:55Speaker 2: in the way he handled it. His poll numbers rose.
- 32:58Speaker 2: And so now the FBI telling us, wow, Trump's not special.
- 33:01Speaker 2: It could have been Biden just as easily. So Trump
- 33:04Speaker 2: deserves no credit. Clearly, that's what's going on here.
- 33:06Speaker 4: I just can't believe that anyone's listening to the FBI.
- 33:09Speaker 7: This is the same FBI the earlier this week we
- 33:11Speaker 7: were talking about pressured Zuckerberg to limit the reach, well
- 33:17Speaker 7: just outright censor the story about Hunter Biden's laptop. They said, hey,
- 33:22Speaker 7: it's just Russian disinformation. Make sure that it's not on
- 33:26Speaker 7: your platforms type thing. Zuckerberg now regrets working with them.
- 33:30Speaker 7: But this is the same FBI who raided Trump's Murre
- 33:34Speaker 7: Lago home and staged photo ops with these Manila folders
- 33:40Speaker 7: saying top secret and all the rest of it. It
- 33:43Speaker 7: came out months later after they denied it.
- 33:45Speaker 4: Yeah, actually we did set that up. That was a
- 33:47Speaker 4: bit of a photoshop. Not a photoshop, but a photo
- 33:51Speaker 4: op for us at the FBI.
- 33:52Speaker 3: This is ai lethal force on that radars.
- 33:58Speaker 4: Check in the door. You can kill any one you want.
- 34:01Speaker 7: This is the same FBI that had egg all over
- 34:04Speaker 7: their face after they were finally forced to give up
- 34:08Speaker 7: the actual footage of January sixth, Remember the insurrection that
- 34:14Speaker 7: showed security guards shaking hands and basically showing through these
- 34:19Speaker 7: rioters through the Capitol building as if.
- 34:23Speaker 4: It was just some sort of walk through tour. You
- 34:26Speaker 4: have to remember that footage.
- 34:27Speaker 7: We showed it to you on this show, and it
- 34:29Speaker 7: was it went around the world. This is the same
- 34:32Speaker 7: FBI who couldn't figure out, for the life of them
- 34:35Speaker 7: where the crack cocaine and the white house where that
- 34:39Speaker 7: might have come from, the most secure building in the
- 34:43Speaker 7: entirety of the United States of America.
- 34:45Speaker 4: We just don't know where this crack cocaine came from.
- 34:48Speaker 7: And it has nothing to do with the fact that
- 34:50Speaker 7: Hunter Biden was here this weekend.
- 34:51Speaker 4: I could go on for an hour without drawing breath.
- 34:55Speaker 4: These guys have zero credibility, and.
- 34:58Speaker 7: In fact, the second they say it's something, I'm like, well,
- 35:01Speaker 7: process of elimination, I know it ain't that. Indeed, also,
- 35:07Speaker 7: you've got to give me back my copy of Tom
- 35:08Speaker 7: O'Neill's book Chaos. Once you read that, you will never
- 35:12Speaker 7: listen to a word the CIA or FBI, ever.
- 35:15Speaker 2: Says again, lizill learn it to you as soon as
- 35:16Speaker 2: I'm done with it, before we go to a break.
- 35:18Speaker 2: The Albanezi government have shelved plans to include questions about
- 35:22Speaker 2: people's sexual preferences in the twenty twenty six census because
- 35:27Speaker 2: they want to maintain social cohesion. Treasurer Jim Chalmers said
- 35:32Speaker 2: that questions about LGBTQ would be ditched from the census
- 35:37Speaker 2: because he wanted to avoid nastiness. Here's the treasurer, but.
- 35:41Speaker 11: The census itself is an until twenty twenty six, and
- 35:45Speaker 11: so our goal here has been to try and avoid
- 35:49Speaker 11: some of the nastiness that sometimes accompanies that in the
- 35:52Speaker 11: lead up to the census.
- 35:54Speaker 2: There's two things about this government that really worry me.
- 35:57Speaker 2: One is it's impossible to figure out what.
- 35:59Speaker 3: They really believe.
- 36:00Speaker 2: If you believe LGBTQ people are really important, we need
- 36:03Speaker 2: that data included in the census. If you don't think
- 36:05Speaker 2: it's necessary, say so. So you can't work at what
- 36:08Speaker 2: they believe. And they clearly have no confidence in their
- 36:11Speaker 2: ability to have a conversation with the public or to
- 36:15Speaker 2: get their point across, so they fall back on this
- 36:17Speaker 2: social cohesion, which is exactly what they did with the
- 36:20Speaker 2: religious discrimination bill. We still don't know what they believe
- 36:23Speaker 2: about that. They just said, well, we don't want to
- 36:25Speaker 2: have any nastiness, so we better.
- 36:27Speaker 3: Not talk about it.
- 36:28Speaker 2: It's just gutless from this government, who are managerial rather
- 36:32Speaker 2: than leaders.
- 36:33Speaker 1: Where would the nastiness come from?
- 36:35Speaker 5: Are they worried that maybe if we include the question
- 36:37Speaker 5: in the census, and I think it should be in
- 36:38Speaker 5: the census because it's an exercise of working out where
- 36:41Speaker 5: the population is out and who makes up the population.
- 36:44Speaker 5: Surely that's a sort of question you would put in
- 36:46Speaker 5: the census. Are they worried that perhaps we'll see there's
- 36:49Speaker 5: been a marked rise in LGBTQ people in the last
- 36:53Speaker 5: five odd years and then we might start wondering why
- 36:56Speaker 5: is that? And that's questions that the government doesn't want
- 36:59Speaker 5: to answer.
- 37:00Speaker 3: Where we're going to go to a break.
- 37:01Speaker 2: When we come back, look at what's making news tomorrow,
- 37:03Speaker 2: including students from an exclusive South Australian school expelled after
- 37:08Speaker 2: setting fire to a rival school sports jersey.
- 37:11Speaker 3: It's coming up in a moment. Welcome back.
- 37:16Speaker 2: Let's take a look at what's making front page news tomorrow.
- 37:19Speaker 2: We'll start with an interesting story on the front page
- 37:22Speaker 2: of the Adelaide Advertiser. Black Friars reads the headline, which
- 37:27Speaker 2: is a pun on the name of the school. It
- 37:29Speaker 2: refers to black Friars as in friarsa How would you
- 37:36Speaker 2: define a Friars?
- 37:36Speaker 3: That's like a monk, right, Yeah, I think it's in
- 37:39Speaker 3: the day.
- 37:39Speaker 2: Yeah, Blackfriars, not the one you put your chips in, correct,
- 37:43Speaker 2: that's the pun.
- 37:43Speaker 3: Let me continue.
- 37:44Speaker 2: Blackfriars School has expelled students who hoisted a rival school
- 37:49Speaker 2: sports jacket on a stick and set fire to it
- 37:51Speaker 2: last week after a football match. Police have been called
- 37:56Speaker 2: over the stunt, which was labeled shameful by the all
- 37:59Speaker 2: boys Adelaide Private School. The school principle, in announcing what
- 38:05Speaker 2: had been done to parents wrote, and I quote the
- 38:08Speaker 2: gravity of their actions cannot be overstated, which feels like
- 38:13Speaker 2: a little bit of an overstatement. I think the situation
- 38:17Speaker 2: was that the boys at Blackfriars Priory School had beaten
- 38:21Speaker 2: a rival school for the first time in eight years,
- 38:26Speaker 2: and high school boys being high school boys, decided to
- 38:29Speaker 2: celebrate by burning the rival schools sports jersey on a stick.
- 38:34Speaker 2: Appropriate expelworthy, I think.
- 38:37Speaker 5: So.
- 38:38Speaker 2: Remember these are kids in Caleb, you would understand this,
- 38:41Speaker 2: who probably just a couple of weeks ago went to
- 38:43Speaker 2: Adelaide Oval to watch the Port Power versus the Adelaide Crows,
- 38:47Speaker 2: where there was all sorts of carry on. So the
- 38:50Speaker 2: crosstown rivalry is big. Yeah, this is football, they're boys.
- 38:55Speaker 2: Maybe a slap on the wrist, But to get expelled
- 38:57Speaker 2: for that, no one died.
- 38:58Speaker 3: It wasn't like it was the Atralian flag.
- 39:01Speaker 5: They went and saw thunder the Port Power mascot get
- 39:04Speaker 5: punched in the face by some kid, but you know,
- 39:07Speaker 5: you get suspended for a week or something. It's a
- 39:10Speaker 5: bit naff I get that it's not a great look
- 39:13Speaker 5: for the school, but in the grand scheme of things,
- 39:15Speaker 5: they set a jumper on fire, and it's one thing
- 39:18Speaker 5: for the school to expel the kids, which I think
- 39:21Speaker 5: is way way over the top. But the police have
- 39:23Speaker 5: been called out. What have the police been called in for?
- 39:26Speaker 5: I didn't know it was an offense to burn a jumper.
- 39:30Speaker 1: What are the police going to do about it?
- 39:32Speaker 5: Maybe they're going to find out that, you know, they
- 39:34Speaker 5: did it in an area during a you know, no
- 39:37Speaker 5: fire zone or something, and so they.
- 39:40Speaker 1: Broke the law. Like, what are the police going to
- 39:42Speaker 1: do about it?
- 39:43Speaker 2: We should point out this was not on school property,
- 39:45Speaker 2: this was off site.
- 39:46Speaker 7: That, oh what is That makes it even more ridiculous.
- 39:51Speaker 7: I genuinely have no problem with this whatsoever. Nobody was hurt.
- 39:55Speaker 4: This wasn't send me a signal that they were going
- 39:57Speaker 4: to burn the school down. Honestly, if I was one
- 40:01Speaker 4: of their mums, I'd just be.
- 40:02Speaker 7: Like, that's that's extreme and kind of funny, But okay,
- 40:05Speaker 7: do you reckon?
- 40:05Speaker 2: They're worried about the carbon emissions.
- 40:11Speaker 7: For this principle to say, quote he was deeply grieved
- 40:15Speaker 7: end quote.
- 40:16Speaker 4: I mean, buddy, do me a favor.
- 40:18Speaker 7: What happened to boys will be boys? I'm a massive
- 40:21Speaker 7: fan of boys will be boys. They won against this
- 40:25Speaker 7: team for the first time in eight years, and they
- 40:26Speaker 7: were like, Lol, let's grab one of their.
- 40:29Speaker 4: Jackets, hoist it and burn it. That was their way
- 40:32Speaker 4: of celebrating. And they're too young to drink. So what
- 40:35Speaker 4: would you rather than do? I think it was fine.
- 40:38Speaker 3: Do you think some of the context.
- 40:39Speaker 2: There's a school Pembroke, which is a very exclusive school,
- 40:41Speaker 2: and they were in the news a week or two
- 40:43Speaker 2: ago because some of the boys had made some inappropriate
- 40:47Speaker 2: lists about how they would judge the girls in the
- 40:49Speaker 2: school that hit the media.
- 40:51Speaker 3: Do you think this school is now reacting?
- 40:53Speaker 1: Yeah, we better show us so.
- 40:55Speaker 5: I think they're a bit titchy at the moment, but serious,
- 40:58Speaker 5: Like you know, they said a jumper on fire to
- 41:01Speaker 5: think that, you know, these kids who did something a
- 41:04Speaker 5: little bit stupid have had their entire school year derailed
- 41:10Speaker 5: by that. I think he's a little bit over the top.
- 41:12Speaker 5: Let's go to the Daily Telegraph tomorrow, but it says
- 41:15Speaker 5: you're not welcome Indigenous ceremony row over ancestry. A Sydney
- 41:21Speaker 5: Aboriginal Land Council is demanding a resident, so he's conducting
- 41:25Speaker 5: welcome to country ceremonies, claiming he has failed to prove
- 41:30Speaker 5: his indigenous ancestry. This bloke, you can see him there
- 41:33Speaker 5: on the front of the paper, Neil Evers. He says
- 41:36Speaker 5: that he is a fifth generation Aboriginal. He's been doing
- 41:39Speaker 5: these ceremonies on the Northern Beaches in Sydney.
- 41:42Speaker 1: For about a decade now.
- 41:44Speaker 5: But the land Council says that he's acknowledged the wrong
- 41:48Speaker 5: Aboriginal people at an event and provided no proof of
- 41:51Speaker 5: his aboriginality.
- 41:52Speaker 1: I didn't think you.
- 41:53Speaker 5: Had to provide proof of your aboriginality, although you just identify.
- 41:57Speaker 4: That was my first thought as well.
- 41:58Speaker 7: I will never forget the Senate committee in which Senator
- 42:03Speaker 7: Alex Antik was trying to establish Okay, so how does
- 42:07Speaker 7: one prove acclaim that they are from indigenous heritage?
- 42:11Speaker 4: Since there's all.
- 42:12Speaker 7: Kinds of I don't want to call them handouts, but
- 42:15Speaker 7: whatever handouts for Indigenous Aussies to give them a head start,
- 42:20Speaker 7: get them into UNI, whatever the case may be.
- 42:23Speaker 4: So how do I.
- 42:24Speaker 7: Prove that I'm indigenous if I'm in indigenous, and these guys.
- 42:28Speaker 4: Just tripped over themselves.
- 42:29Speaker 7: It was the most painful twenty minutes and they still
- 42:33Speaker 7: hadn't come up with anything comprehensive. I mean, hats off
- 42:38Speaker 7: to nilmatee here, because we know that you're paid quite
- 42:41Speaker 7: handsomely for these.
- 42:42Speaker 4: Welcome to countries.
- 42:43Speaker 7: On the kid, he's just gone, like, you know what,
- 42:45Speaker 7: I might as well cash in.
- 42:47Speaker 4: Get going while the going's good.
- 42:50Speaker 7: Goodness knows how much he's made off this, and.
- 42:53Speaker 2: We're just going on the front page. So I don't
- 42:55Speaker 2: understand all the context. So this is pure speculation. But
- 42:57Speaker 2: if he's been doing this for a decade, he's kind
- 42:59Speaker 2: of got the mats sewn up right. So the easiest
- 43:01Speaker 2: way if you wanted the slice of that action, oh,
- 43:03Speaker 2: I asked question his say, indigenous credentials, and there you go.
- 43:08Speaker 1: I want to be his manager.
- 43:09Speaker 5: I read he sounds great, thought I do have to
- 43:13Speaker 5: point out, sorry for being Pernicotti, it's welcomes to country,
- 43:17Speaker 5: not welcome to countries for all the for kel Richards,
- 43:19Speaker 5: if you're watching, and I know you're watching, I just
- 43:21Speaker 5: had to do it for you.
- 43:23Speaker 4: Did you just correct yourself.
- 43:24Speaker 5: No, no, no, I didn't say welcome to countries. You said
- 43:27Speaker 5: welcome to countries, and you said it at the top
- 43:29Speaker 5: of the program as well. In the paper it said
- 43:32Speaker 5: welcome to country ceremonies. But the plural of welcome to
- 43:35Speaker 5: countries welcomes to countries.
- 43:37Speaker 7: Oh well, my quality of life knowing that little tit
- 43:40Speaker 7: bit of information just shot through the road.
- 43:43Speaker 4: Don't know about you.
- 43:44Speaker 5: The language matters, defend the English language to the.
- 43:47Speaker 4: Run page of the oars.
- 43:48Speaker 7: Now Fair Works reckless adventurism on working from home. Employers
- 43:54Speaker 7: have accused the Fair Work Commission of reckless adventurism, slamming
- 43:58Speaker 7: its decision to examine giving clerical staff the legal right
- 44:02Speaker 7: to request to work from home in a case that
- 44:05Speaker 7: we'll set a precedent for the remote work rules to
- 44:08Speaker 7: apply to millions of workers. Well, well, well, how have
- 44:12Speaker 7: the clerics found themselves in the middle of this?
- 44:15Speaker 5: How did they not know that Kurdafides was going to
- 44:17Speaker 5: give out free coffees in Melbourne.
- 44:20Speaker 1: This isn't a problem.
- 44:21Speaker 5: Anymore, everyone's going to be going back into work.
- 44:24Speaker 1: But you know, I it does.
- 44:26Speaker 5: Worry me if we get to a point where it
- 44:28Speaker 5: becomes sort of an enshrined right to be able to
- 44:31Speaker 5: work from home. Surely that is a decision to be
- 44:34Speaker 5: made between employer and employee. And a lot of people now,
- 44:39Speaker 5: I'm sure when they go for a new job or
- 44:41Speaker 5: they renegotiate their contract, have this stuff written into their contract.
- 44:45Speaker 5: But they's a discussion for you to have with your boss,
- 44:48Speaker 5: not for the government or the Fair Work Commission or
- 44:50Speaker 5: anyone else to say, is your right to work from home?
- 44:53Speaker 5: If the boss wants you in the office or at
- 44:55Speaker 5: your workplace, surely they should be able to have you there.
- 44:58Speaker 5: Because what do we end up saying the checkout chick
- 45:01Speaker 5: wants to work from home?
- 45:02Speaker 1: I mean, how do you enshrine that right?
- 45:04Speaker 3: If you can find a checkout chickt will he s
- 45:06Speaker 3: doing very very well. I think she is working from home.
- 45:08Speaker 2: Let's go to the Townsville bulletin, No trust in You,
- 45:11Speaker 2: reads the headline. Counselors fiery spray at mayor. Mayor Troy
- 45:16Speaker 2: Thompson's bid for a political advisor who could be paid
- 45:20Speaker 2: one hundred and seventy five thousand salary unanimously rejected shock surprise,
- 45:26Speaker 2: with one councilor firing up over the mayor's proposal to
- 45:29Speaker 2: directly appoint the role for context a political advisor on
- 45:33Speaker 2: the Townsville Council getting one hundred and seventy five grand
- 45:36Speaker 2: will counselors are only paid I think it's one hundred
- 45:39Speaker 2: and fifty three grand, and the deputy mayor is not
- 45:41Speaker 2: paid as much as this political advisor was to be paid.
- 45:45Speaker 4: What kind of council is this? When I was a counselor,
- 45:48Speaker 4: I was paid a fraction.
- 45:49Speaker 7: They have much, much bigger counsel Yeah, yeah, sure.
- 45:52Speaker 4: But that is just hilarious.
- 45:54Speaker 7: Can I just say, Mayor Troy Thompson, I've worked in state,
- 45:58Speaker 7: federal and local government and no political advisor know me,
- 46:03Speaker 7: is worth one hundred and seventy five thousand dollars.
- 46:07Speaker 1: Like I don't know what I was always.
- 46:08Speaker 5: I don't know what sort of money you were getting
- 46:10Speaker 5: back in the day, but I know that about at
- 46:13Speaker 5: the moment. In South Australia, if you're a media advisor
- 46:16Speaker 5: in the state government, like a top level media advisor,
- 46:18Speaker 5: you get about one hundred and forty So to get
- 46:20Speaker 5: one hundred and seventy five in a council, No.
- 46:23Speaker 3: It's not bad money. We're going to go to a
- 46:25Speaker 3: break when we come back.
- 46:27Speaker 2: Thieves caught on CCTV robbing from a Queensland home. They
- 46:31Speaker 2: got in through the doggie door will show you that
- 46:33Speaker 2: in a moment.
- 46:34Speaker 3: Stick with us.
- 46:38Speaker 2: Well, you've heard of the flying kangaroo, and if I
- 46:40Speaker 2: used that phrase, you would immediately think of quantus, right,
- 46:43Speaker 2: But the flying kangaroo is actually a kangaroo. A couple
- 46:46Speaker 2: of landscape gardeners in Melbourne's North were just going about
- 46:50Speaker 2: their business when a kangaroo bounded past and then lipped
- 46:55Speaker 2: right over a one point eight meter boundary fence. One
- 46:58Speaker 2: of the landscapers, have a look at this incredible footage.
- 47:17Speaker 2: That is gold medal winning high jump right there now.
- 47:20Speaker 2: As I said, the fence was one point eight meters.
- 47:22Speaker 2: Kangaroos apparently can jump three meters. That rooted very well
- 47:26Speaker 2: the landscape gardener. He sent this photo to his dad,
- 47:31Speaker 2: and his dad got the photo and said and message
- 47:35Speaker 2: back saying that's not really you're lying.
- 47:36Speaker 3: What are you doing slacking off at work?
- 47:38Speaker 2: And it was only when this guy sent his dad
- 47:40Speaker 2: the video that his father can we see that photo
- 47:43Speaker 2: one more time? That is an incredible photograph of.
- 47:46Speaker 3: That Kangaroo's pretty good. He would not believe that was real.
- 47:50Speaker 4: It totally looks photoshot. He does land him in the
- 47:52Speaker 4: sky there.
- 47:53Speaker 5: But remember Reagan the breakdancer at the Olympics.
- 47:59Speaker 1: How famed Alien breakdancer did a.
- 48:02Speaker 5: Move called the rou and she said went went like this, right,
- 48:05Speaker 5: we should have just sent this bloody kangaroo to the Olympics.
- 48:09Speaker 5: Go to the breakdancing, go to the high jump, to
- 48:12Speaker 5: the pole vaulting.
- 48:13Speaker 1: He could have won the whole bloody lot for Australia.
- 48:16Speaker 7: I don't think you get points for jumping. It's all
- 48:18Speaker 7: about being low and twisting around and brains.
- 48:20Speaker 1: Well, I'm sure he could do a bit of that
- 48:22Speaker 1: as well.
- 48:23Speaker 5: You know, look if reagun he'd have my vote breakdancer.
- 48:27Speaker 3: But before we.
- 48:28Speaker 7: Leave you tonight, old mate has been caught trying to
- 48:31Speaker 7: break into a property and park ridge using.
- 48:34Speaker 4: The doggy door. Check out this footage.
- 48:37Speaker 7: My goodness, you wonder how big their dog must be
- 48:40Speaker 7: because that looks gindorbous.
- 48:42Speaker 4: What kind of dog do you want to have a
- 48:44Speaker 4: dog door that big?
- 48:46Speaker 7: I'm sure anyone who also has a large dog is
- 48:49Speaker 7: thinking twice about their dog door.
- 48:51Speaker 4: He easily fits through. Where's the dog?
- 48:54Speaker 1: I know?
- 48:55Speaker 5: I having a dog.
- 48:56Speaker 7: He's probably just fedets and stay or something and is
- 49:01Speaker 7: like ambling in.
- 49:02Speaker 4: But how easy is this.
- 49:04Speaker 1: I'll tell you what.
- 49:05Speaker 5: If you are small enough to be able to get
- 49:08Speaker 5: through a doggy door. This is why I've said we
- 49:10Speaker 5: can't raise the age of criminal responsibility, because every kid
- 49:14Speaker 5: in the country will be going through doggy doors raiding people.
- 49:18Speaker 4: Fashion have hit it, we've inspired it.
- 49:20Speaker 2: Listen before you go to bed to make sure you
- 49:22Speaker 2: lock your doggie door, but.
- 49:24Speaker 3: Don't go to bed yet.
- 49:25Speaker 2: Coming up is The Reader Penney Show.
