- 0:11Speaker 1: Is the bulk perform it.
- 0:14Speaker 2: Tonight? A pro Palestine extremist threatened to protest tonight at
- 0:19Speaker 2: a synagogue in Melbourne's most Jewish suburb. I'll talk to
- 0:23Speaker 2: the rabbi, Plus the Prime Minister starts what looks like
- 0:26Speaker 2: the last week of parliament before the election is at
- 0:30Speaker 2: all falling apart for him? And the Russian ambassador lies
- 0:34Speaker 2: on the ABC and I have a message for this idiot.
- 0:37Speaker 2: Remember what you did to me. I'll explain whether all
- 0:40Speaker 2: that means later, and plenty more coming up as well,
- 0:44Speaker 2: But first let me start tonight by introducing you to
- 0:48Speaker 2: the model global warming idiot, the man who perfectly represents
- 0:53Speaker 2: the total know nothingness of this religious movement to stop
- 0:57Speaker 2: us using fossil fuels to indust industrialize and save the planet.
- 1:04Speaker 2: Yesterday in Newcastle police arrested one hundred and seventy activists
- 1:09Speaker 2: who trained to blockade ships at that coal port in
- 1:12Speaker 2: their protests against the fossil fuels that they blame for
- 1:15Speaker 2: the climate changing. One of the protesters not a rest
- 1:19Speaker 2: as far as I can tell, was Adam Bant, leader
- 1:21Speaker 2: of the Greens Party, looking quite sprug there in his
- 1:24Speaker 2: inflatable kayak. Now study this picture well, because this is
- 1:30Speaker 2: a man who insists we you must stop using fossil
- 1:33Speaker 2: fuels like oil, gas, and coal. And he was even
- 1:37Speaker 2: at that Newcastle beach in his favorite no More coal
- 1:39Speaker 2: and gas shirt. But let's look again at that first
- 1:43Speaker 2: photo of Band in his kayak, and it's actually an
- 1:47Speaker 2: intex inflatable kayak that's made of vinyl, which in turn
- 1:52Speaker 2: is made from fossil fuels from coal, gas, or oil.
- 1:56Speaker 2: Look now at his life vest that's made in part
- 2:00Speaker 2: from nylon, which is a polymer usually made from crude oil,
- 2:04Speaker 2: again a fossil fuel. Inside that vests almost certainly foam
- 2:08Speaker 2: panels made from polyethylene or PVC, which again are made
- 2:14Speaker 2: almost always from coal, gas, or oil. And then look
- 2:17Speaker 2: at this panel. The shafts aluminium that's usually made with
- 2:20Speaker 2: lots and lots of electricity, which here means mostly coal
- 2:24Speaker 2: and gas. The blade seems to be polypropylene, which once
- 2:28Speaker 2: again is made from fossil fuels. The same with the
- 2:33Speaker 2: plastiffs sunglasses fossil fuels once again, and I haven't even
- 2:38Speaker 2: gone onto sclose. So really, Adam Bant was the one
- 2:42Speaker 2: hundred percent advertisement for fossil fuels, proving again how they
- 2:49Speaker 2: are in fact essential to modern life and to keeping
- 2:52Speaker 2: Adam bant afloat. And the final touch, green Peace was
- 2:58Speaker 2: at this protest. It actually sent to a sailing ship
- 3:01Speaker 2: to help blockade the port. But you know how fickled
- 3:05Speaker 2: the wind can be, whether it's for sailing or for
- 3:08Speaker 2: making electricity. And so this green Peace yacht used this
- 3:13Speaker 2: diesel engines to get to band and the protests and
- 3:17Speaker 2: to demand an end to the fossil fuels it was
- 3:20Speaker 2: actually burning. What a total clown show. I'm sure this
- 3:27Speaker 2: protest did not show us we had to get out
- 3:30Speaker 2: of coal and gas and oil. It showed this, in fact,
- 3:33Speaker 2: how even the out advance of this world relied totally
- 3:36Speaker 2: upon it. You get rid of fossil fuels and the
- 3:39Speaker 2: things made from them, which include also cement, not just plastic,
- 3:43Speaker 2: but cement, a fertilizer of pharmaceuticals, and our lives are
- 3:48Speaker 2: going to be much poorer and harder. Now, I mentioned
- 3:53Speaker 2: all this to show how the global warming movement depends
- 3:56Speaker 2: on total ignorance of science and economics. We've got bad
- 4:00Speaker 2: news for you because we saw that ignorance frighteningly yesterday again,
- 4:08Speaker 2: not just at Newcastle our Energy minister, Chris Bone, he
- 4:13Speaker 2: had flown to the latest climate conference that's just finishing
- 4:16Speaker 2: in Azerbaijan, and there he didn't just give away another
- 4:20Speaker 2: fifty million dollars of your money, handing it to Pacific
- 4:23Speaker 2: island nations supposedly tackle climate change. It's also just helped
- 4:28Speaker 2: to negotiate over the weekend a deal where developed countries
- 4:32Speaker 2: like ours pay underdeveloped countries, which includes China, India, Taliban
- 4:39Speaker 2: run Afghanistan. The Taliban were there, Iran, North Korea, Syria,
- 4:44Speaker 2: Charming countries plus and Pacific islands and African countries pay
- 4:50Speaker 2: them all. Get this, four hundred and sixty billion dollars
- 4:54Speaker 2: every year by twenty thirty five person in the developed
- 5:01Speaker 2: world countries like US removing strugglers are likely to pay,
- 5:05Speaker 2: certainly not Russia. That works out pro rata to more
- 5:08Speaker 2: than four hundred dollars every year from every man, woman,
- 5:11Speaker 2: and child. I guess that's what we're up for, really,
- 5:16Speaker 2: four hundred. Every one of you and people at this
- 5:19Speaker 2: conference applauded this. Now that said, you know, don't you,
- 5:30Speaker 2: that global warming is the great cargo cult of our
- 5:33Speaker 2: times for poorer countries. That's why they love global warming.
- 5:37Speaker 2: It's free money from the guilty West, and they're already
- 5:41Speaker 2: demanding more. No, thank you all. They want much more money,
- 5:45Speaker 2: at least four times more since China.
- 5:48Speaker 3: We are extremely, extremely disappointed with this incident.
- 5:57Speaker 2: The Bone thinks they're paying out more than four hundred
- 5:59Speaker 2: dollars per pose and every year in supposed compensation for
- 6:01Speaker 2: global warming. Is a great deal for us. This's threated
- 6:04Speaker 2: a lot of endorsements of it, as well as a
- 6:06Speaker 2: picture in talking seriously to the UN Secretary General and
- 6:10Speaker 2: saying that this climate finance, getting it right is vital
- 6:16Speaker 2: for our nearest neighbors in the Pacific. Now I got
- 6:20Speaker 2: to say to Chris Bowen, this is not a great deal.
- 6:22Speaker 2: This is a con. It is a rought. It is
- 6:24Speaker 2: a scam built on a fantasy. Because I got to
- 6:28Speaker 2: ask Bowen compensation for what the number of cyclones both
- 6:35Speaker 2: here and in the South Pacific's actually fallen over the
- 6:38Speaker 2: past half century. The number of severe cyclones has fallen too.
- 6:42Speaker 2: They're not doing more damage, but less. A world food
- 6:46Speaker 2: crops keeps setting new records, and a study three years
- 6:48Speaker 2: ago two hundred and twenty one adults said that grown
- 6:52Speaker 2: by more than eighty one square square kilometers since two thousand.
- 6:56Speaker 2: They're growing, Chris, They're not drowning. So what on earth
- 7:01Speaker 2: is Bone actually compensating these islands for. Where's the damage,
- 7:07Speaker 2: the extra damage caused by our emissions? Why is he
- 7:10Speaker 2: throwing our money away like this and for what?
- 7:14Speaker 1: No?
- 7:14Speaker 2: I repeat, the global warming movement is based on hot air,
- 7:16Speaker 2: a total and wilful ignorance of science and economics, and
- 7:21Speaker 2: you are paying for it, these handouts for nothing. Higher
- 7:25Speaker 2: electricity prices here for nothing. I mean, does anyone really
- 7:29Speaker 2: think that little Australia can change the world's climate. What
- 7:34Speaker 2: a delusion from a government that's snow now, so incompetent,
- 7:39Speaker 2: so out of ideas that the delusion of God to
- 7:42Speaker 2: say is now all it can guarantee for something else
- 7:51Speaker 2: that really is frightening, alarming. The you hatred here. It's
- 7:56Speaker 2: worse than anything I could ever have imagined could happen
- 8:00Speaker 2: in my country. It's shameful, as is the Albanezi govern's response.
- 8:06Speaker 2: Last week we saw cars and houses in Wullara Family,
- 8:10Speaker 2: a fairly Jewish area, tagged with f Israel graffiti. One
- 8:15Speaker 2: car even burned. A man has now been arrested over that.
- 8:19Speaker 2: It's in the airport trying to fly to Thailand. His
- 8:21Speaker 2: name Mohammad Fahat. On his neck a tattoo of a
- 8:27Speaker 2: symbol of the Hesbalah terrorist group. Now last Saturday, shopkeeper
- 8:32Speaker 2: in Townsville actually chased to Israeli tourists out of her
- 8:36Speaker 2: shop when they asked who should be given the Palestine
- 8:39Speaker 2: Aid money she was collecting holding a shovel, she abused
- 8:44Speaker 2: them as dirty Jews. You know, just said going to
- 9:00Speaker 2: the shops in the nearby town will stop me in
- 9:03Speaker 2: the streat. Didn't know her. Tell stranger to tell me
- 9:06Speaker 2: how frightened she now felt to be here, which is
- 9:08Speaker 2: not alone to hear that from so many Now Jewish
- 9:11Speaker 2: groups are blaming in part the weakness of the Albanizi
- 9:14Speaker 2: government's response to all this. Well, if that's totally fair,
- 9:20Speaker 2: I don't know, but I've got to say this government
- 9:24Speaker 2: seems to be legitimizing this absurd hatred of Israel, which
- 9:28Speaker 2: to many people so easily becomes a hatred of Jews.
- 9:32Speaker 2: Last week, for instance, I refused to condemn the international
- 9:35Speaker 2: criminal call for ordering the arrest of Israeli promiser Benjamin
- 9:38Speaker 2: and yeah, I supposed war crimes in my opinion a
- 9:41Speaker 2: totally bogus claim that he tried to starve Palestinians as
- 9:45Speaker 2: a weapon of war. You try and find how many
- 9:48Speaker 2: starving Palestinians there are an abusive process here in this case.
- 9:53Speaker 2: And then the government also last week banned aile At Shaqed,
- 9:56Speaker 2: a former is Rarei Justice minister, for coming here. Said
- 9:59Speaker 2: she caused descent. Now I assume by that the government means, oh,
- 10:04Speaker 2: she'd upset the kind of feral protesters who disrupted the
- 10:07Speaker 2: Christmas window display at Melbourne's my Store las week. But
- 10:11Speaker 2: speaking of that protest, the woman who first called for
- 10:16Speaker 2: that one, the supposed Muslim, lesbian single mother with the disability,
- 10:21Speaker 2: I mean, godly gosh, talk about straight out of central casting,
- 10:25Speaker 2: calling herself Amy Settle the false name. She's now called
- 10:30Speaker 2: for another protest tonight at the Carfield Schure Synagogue in Melbourne.
- 10:36Speaker 2: I've given a speech there. This pro palasan extreme says, oh,
- 10:39Speaker 2: there is Zonus there protest protest now, Yes, he did
- 10:44Speaker 2: later canceled it, claiming absurdly threats by Zonas to protest.
- 10:50Speaker 2: There's physical threats. I was joined earlier by the shawls
- 10:55Speaker 2: of Rabbi Daniel Rabin Rabert, Daniel Rabin, thank you so
- 10:59Speaker 2: much for your time. What is it that you are
- 11:02Speaker 2: supposedly doing wrong in your shool?
- 11:06Speaker 1: Thank you?
- 11:07Speaker 3: Andrews loving to be on your show. And it's a
- 11:10Speaker 3: very good question. I mean, we are enjoying living in
- 11:13Speaker 3: Australia here in Melbourne and having the freedom to practice
- 11:17Speaker 3: our faith, our community, to enjoy life, and all of
- 11:20Speaker 3: a sudden we get notification that people are wanting to
- 11:22Speaker 3: come protest outside our synagogue and to disrupt and to
- 11:26Speaker 3: cause fear and panic. I've received so many messages since
- 11:29Speaker 3: this information was shared with me, and yeah, it's just
- 11:34Speaker 3: a very sad state of affairs.
- 11:35Speaker 1: You know, it's very un Australian.
- 11:36Speaker 3: You know, people are entitled to protest, but to come
- 11:39Speaker 3: right outside our synagogue here and threaten to protest and disrupt,
- 11:44Speaker 3: I don't believe it's helping anybody.
- 11:47Speaker 2: How much fear did this threat of a protest cause?
- 11:53Speaker 3: Look for me personally, obviously, I always remain as a
- 11:55Speaker 3: proud you.
- 11:56Speaker 1: No one's going to intimidate me.
- 11:57Speaker 3: But you know, I did receive how less messages today
- 12:00Speaker 3: and it's spread you know, through social media, through WhatsApp groups.
- 12:05Speaker 3: It's really caused a lot of uncertainty in the community here.
- 12:08Speaker 1: People are not sure.
- 12:09Speaker 3: The last time we had a protest here in the
- 12:12Speaker 3: corporate area outside anothers and the guy on a cog
- 12:14Speaker 3: of mine, we saw our violence. Of God, you saw
- 12:16Speaker 3: things in Sydney recently. So I guess people are scared.
- 12:18Speaker 3: You know, Whilst people may say they're coming to protest peacefully,
- 12:22Speaker 3: we've all seen how that ends at times, and so
- 12:24Speaker 3: it has caused a lot of panic in the community.
- 12:28Speaker 2: And now it's been called off allegedly because we're told
- 12:33Speaker 2: by the organizer Zionists are threatening violence. Do you know
- 12:38Speaker 2: of any kind of violence that it's been threatened.
- 12:42Speaker 3: I can assure you there's no violence been threatened against
- 12:44Speaker 3: these protesters, certainly not from me or my congregation or
- 12:47Speaker 3: any of my community that I know. And obviously, you know,
- 12:51Speaker 3: we're very grateful to police who have been in constant
- 12:54Speaker 3: contact with us, our CSG Community Security Group to ensure.
- 12:58Speaker 1: That we stay. Say, but yeah, that's quite livable. I'm
- 13:03Speaker 1: sorry to.
- 13:03Speaker 3: Say that that's been called it because they thought, you know,
- 13:06Speaker 3: they're going to be attacked by Zionists.
- 13:09Speaker 2: That I believe its usual and I must admit to it.
- 13:13Speaker 2: Didn't seem very violent to a congregation at all. I'm
- 13:18Speaker 2: just wondering how the fact that this just the threat
- 13:23Speaker 2: of an organization of a protest there. We've seen how
- 13:26Speaker 2: some of these protests have got out of hand. We've
- 13:28Speaker 2: seen the vandalism and all that kind of stuff, people
- 13:32Speaker 2: being scared. Do you find it really crazy that, in
- 13:37Speaker 2: these days in Australia that so many of the members
- 13:41Speaker 2: of your shool there are living in fear.
- 13:45Speaker 3: I do think it's crazy. I mean, I'm an immigrant
- 13:47Speaker 3: in this country. I love, you know, the city of Melbourne.
- 13:50Speaker 3: I love being in Victoria in Australia. I feel it's
- 13:53Speaker 3: a great privilege and honor to live in such an
- 13:56Speaker 3: incredible country.
- 13:57Speaker 1: But it's very scary.
- 13:58Speaker 3: To see that slowly withering away, and as a society,
- 14:02Speaker 3: we need to ensure it doesn't because we all want
- 14:04Speaker 3: to enjoy this great place, the freedoms it's provided to
- 14:08Speaker 3: all of us. You know, I love being a rabbi
- 14:10Speaker 3: in this community. I love, you know, being able to
- 14:12Speaker 3: spread messages of peace and connection. You in our God,
- 14:16Speaker 3: you saw how nice the people are. You saw the
- 14:18Speaker 3: messages that I share here, and I think this is
- 14:21Speaker 3: a wake up call if there hasn't been enough wake
- 14:24Speaker 3: up calls, you know, since October seventh. This is a
- 14:26Speaker 3: wake up call to every decent human being, every decent
- 14:29Speaker 3: citizen here in Australia.
- 14:31Speaker 1: Don't let this ruin.
- 14:33Speaker 3: You know, what's happening in the Middle East, And of
- 14:35Speaker 3: course you know I'm not here to share, you know, politics,
- 14:38Speaker 3: what's going on. Of course I'm a proud Zionist. I
- 14:40Speaker 3: stand up for Israel. But you know, people can have
- 14:42Speaker 3: their own views, but don't let let it creep in
- 14:44Speaker 3: here and to ruin what we have and to be
- 14:46Speaker 3: violent and to cause this unity and discord amongst the
- 14:50Speaker 3: side here, because you know, once it gets too far,
- 14:53Speaker 3: it's very hard to claw back to make sure we
- 14:55Speaker 3: have this peaceful society for our children and grandchildren that
- 14:59Speaker 3: we hope will enjoy what you get to enjoy.
- 15:02Speaker 2: Has the Abenezi government in the Victorian government, have they
- 15:05Speaker 2: done enough to protect austrail these Jews, do you think?
- 15:09Speaker 3: Look, I can only go by what I hear from
- 15:11Speaker 3: my community, and there's I would say most voices feel
- 15:14Speaker 3: it's not enough. There was a big article I think
- 15:17Speaker 3: in Australia today Raby ben Elton from you know Sydney,
- 15:22Speaker 3: you know, calling out the Albanize government for saying you've
- 15:25Speaker 3: got to get tougher on this. You've got to you know,
- 15:27Speaker 3: words are not enough. You've got to show that there's
- 15:29Speaker 3: consequences for this type of behavior. I mean, what we
- 15:31Speaker 3: saw in Sydney is insane. I was looking at things
- 15:33Speaker 3: in Montreal the other day. I mean, people don't realize
- 15:37Speaker 3: that this can easily and we saw it in Sydney,
- 15:39Speaker 3: but it could easily happen in Melbourne. And so I think,
- 15:42Speaker 3: you know, the messaging has to be very clear, unequivocal,
- 15:45Speaker 3: and the consequences have to be very clear and unequivocal,
- 15:48Speaker 3: because otherwise who knows where this will end?
- 15:53Speaker 2: What do you mean by it has to be clear?
- 15:56Speaker 2: You're not finding the denunciation the action taking by the
- 16:01Speaker 2: Albanezi government strong enough. I mean, I'm concerned that they
- 16:07Speaker 2: sort of legitimize the over the top hatred of Israel
- 16:11Speaker 2: and then by extension towards Jews in the minds of many,
- 16:15Speaker 2: by doing things like not denouncing the International Criminal Courts
- 16:21Speaker 2: warrant of arrest for Benjamin Hya, who the Israeli Prime Minister,
- 16:25Speaker 2: that sort of thing, or baling the former Israeli justice
- 16:28Speaker 2: smiths let your kid from coming here. I mean, these
- 16:31Speaker 2: are these things to me really quite extraordinary things that
- 16:35Speaker 2: are legitimis in the kind of hatreds you're not having
- 16:38Speaker 2: to deal.
- 16:38Speaker 1: With, correct. I mean, I think the all very very
- 16:42Speaker 1: valid points.
- 16:43Speaker 3: And as I said, you know, I talked to many
- 16:45Speaker 3: in my community and men who have shared, you know,
- 16:48Speaker 3: those sentiments. One of the speakers who you know we
- 16:52Speaker 3: together with AJAK and the United Israel peop who are
- 16:54Speaker 3: supposed to come here, let I kid.
- 16:56Speaker 1: It was it was very shocking to hear that they
- 16:58Speaker 1: had cancer of visa.
- 17:01Speaker 3: And I think, as you said, what happens is when
- 17:03Speaker 3: these things happen, sadly empowers and you know, encourages.
- 17:07Speaker 1: Perhaps that people can take a step further.
- 17:10Speaker 3: I saw a shocking video in Sydney where somebody I
- 17:13Speaker 3: think was a tobacco store.
- 17:15Speaker 1: Was saying, get out there of your dirty jew, you.
- 17:17Speaker 3: Know, and I'm thinking, one second, this is this is
- 17:20Speaker 3: Australia in twenty twenty four and somebody's been caught and
- 17:23Speaker 3: they had a few other expleetors which I don't want
- 17:25Speaker 3: to say, you know, on camera unabashed, and you have
- 17:30Speaker 3: to you have to think that this.
- 17:32Speaker 1: I don't.
- 17:33Speaker 3: Obviously they're not supporting it the government, but by not
- 17:35Speaker 3: coming out against it and as you said, during certain
- 17:38Speaker 3: political actions unfortunately sends the wrong message to the community.
- 17:45Speaker 2: I think that's absolutely true, and I really I'm ashamed
- 17:50Speaker 2: for what's happening to this country. I'm ashamed and that
- 17:54Speaker 2: we can have politicians that say so little when they
- 17:56Speaker 2: have got so much power to do good and try
- 17:59Speaker 2: to stop some of this. It's like we've seen this
- 18:02Speaker 2: movie before, Rabbi, and for Australia not to have learned
- 18:06Speaker 2: the lesson, it's just disgusting. Rab Daniel Raben, thank you
- 18:09Speaker 2: so much for your time.
- 18:11Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Andrew.
- 18:13Speaker 2: After the break is anteon the Albaniz's last week in parliament,
- 18:16Speaker 2: perhaps before the election, and it's ending with a whimper
- 18:20Speaker 2: plus Victoria shocking collapse, now poorer than even Tasmania per person.
- 18:31Speaker 2: Just quickly, Rabbi Rabin mentioned before the break how those
- 18:34Speaker 2: anti Israel and Franklin anti Jewish rights and now spread
- 18:38Speaker 2: to Montreal spread there on Friday Amsterdam the week before
- 18:42Speaker 2: now Canada, while at the same time the Prime Minister
- 18:45Speaker 2: there was dancing at a Taylor swift concert. But just
- 18:49Speaker 2: as worrying really as the violence was the casual threat
- 18:53Speaker 2: of another final solution, another Nazi style genocide of the Jews.
- 19:08Speaker 2: Something very sick has reappeared in the West, and I
- 19:11Speaker 2: swear there's a smell now of decay. The Albany's A
- 19:18Speaker 2: government is ending this final week of parliament for the year,
- 19:21Speaker 2: maybe for the it's maybe the final week before the election,
- 19:25Speaker 2: and there's a rotten smell about that too, I've got
- 19:28Speaker 2: to say, a smell of failure. The government has given
- 19:29Speaker 2: up on its attempt to censor the Internet, so hooray
- 19:32Speaker 2: for that. Don't know that it won't try again. Next
- 19:35Speaker 2: to you. The government does look like getting his housing
- 19:38Speaker 2: package through Parliament after the Green's cave, so that's a
- 19:41Speaker 2: big thing for it, but that's not actually going to
- 19:43Speaker 2: fix the fact that many young strands can't afford to
- 19:45Speaker 2: buy a home now otherwise. Inflation is still high, interest
- 19:50Speaker 2: rates still too high, living standards falling steadily for eighteen
- 19:53Speaker 2: months now, and there's a real sense of drift with
- 19:55Speaker 2: this government. The prime is it seems to have run
- 19:58Speaker 2: completely out of chocolates and idea after losing the referendum
- 20:02Speaker 2: last year. To set up aserve original any voice Deparliament
- 20:05Speaker 2: and our business groups. They're getting more than uneasy. They're
- 20:08Speaker 2: panicking a business leaders at the Business Council Forum yesterday
- 20:12Speaker 2: we're asking where's the vision Business Council itself demanding tax
- 20:16Speaker 2: breaks to stop investments going to the US instead. Warnings
- 20:20Speaker 2: now of electricity shortage is so bad that the New
- 20:23Speaker 2: South Wales faces potential blackouts. Just this week, big users
- 20:26Speaker 2: of electricity like smelters have been told to stop work
- 20:30Speaker 2: to save the power. Australia's richest person, Gina Reinhardt, is
- 20:34Speaker 2: now warning that the big mining companies they're switching their
- 20:37Speaker 2: investments overseas. With Australia strangled by big government of big taxes.
- 20:43Speaker 4: The size, expense and intrusion of government has all grown
- 20:47Speaker 4: massively in recent times, adding to businesses, costs, record businesses, failures, failures,
- 20:54Speaker 4: rising housing costs and our own living costs and delaying
- 21:00Speaker 4: revenue earning projects. This is a danger to our living standards.
- 21:06Speaker 2: Joining is the panel Michael Kroger from victuring Liberal President
- 21:09Speaker 2: Steve Conroy, former Labor Center and Cabinet and it's the Michael.
- 21:12Speaker 2: The question I now here being asked is what is
- 21:15Speaker 2: this Labor government really for what's this big plan?
- 21:19Speaker 5: Well, that's a very it's a very good point. It
- 21:21Speaker 5: doesn't have a big plan. The decay started with the
- 21:23Speaker 5: Voice where he was offside with majority of Australians that
- 21:26Speaker 5: seeming to have taken the wind out of the government.
- 21:28Speaker 5: Ever since then they've been on a downward projectory trajectory.
- 21:33Speaker 5: He's offside with the Australian public relation of immigration, he's
- 21:35Speaker 5: offside with him in relation to nuclear He's offside with
- 21:39Speaker 5: the Australian community in relation to the Middle East and Israel.
- 21:42Speaker 5: He's got no idea what to do about the cost
- 21:44Speaker 5: of living crisis, because all he does is massively spend.
- 21:46Speaker 5: Every time you read about the Labor governmentor's spending ten
- 21:49Speaker 5: million there, a billion here, twenty billion, all these schemes,
- 21:52Speaker 5: all adding to inflation, all keeping into straights high et cetera,
- 21:55Speaker 5: et cetera. He's in a world of pain. He's like
- 21:58Speaker 5: a punch drunk boxer. He doesn't know where to go
- 22:01Speaker 5: or what to do. And as I said for many
- 22:03Speaker 5: weeks now, Peter Dutton is favorite to win the election.
- 22:06Speaker 5: End quite rightly so, Andrew.
- 22:09Speaker 2: Well. I thought when Laura Tingle in the Financial Review,
- 22:13Speaker 2: grudgingly admitted he was looking more of the goods through
- 22:16Speaker 2: gritted teeth. I thought, that's that's a turn up, Stephen.
- 22:21Speaker 2: You won't agree with much of that assessment, But how
- 22:24Speaker 2: do you think you can't be pleased with how the
- 22:25Speaker 2: government's finishing the year, or in fact finishing its term.
- 22:30Speaker 6: Well, I think, I mean you did mention it. But
- 22:33Speaker 6: the win, particularly over the grains, and you know their friends,
- 22:37Speaker 6: the Liberals that they keep voting with in Parliament on
- 22:39Speaker 6: the housing package, is actually a very big signature win
- 22:43Speaker 6: the Albany's government. I mean, this is the package that
- 22:45Speaker 6: has been stored for over a year. This is a
- 22:47Speaker 6: package that could have begun to start delivering some housing
- 22:52Speaker 6: around the country. You know there's a lag times on
- 22:57Speaker 6: that obviously, but you know, starting a year later than
- 22:59Speaker 6: you means that more Australians are not going to have
- 23:02Speaker 6: a accessibility to housing. So I think this is a big,
- 23:06Speaker 6: big win. And the Greens, you know, I was starting
- 23:09Speaker 6: to panic about their own electoral prospects to set backs
- 23:12Speaker 6: in Queensland, setbacks in the AGT, setbacks in Victoria, in
- 23:15Speaker 6: their own council areas. So I think the Stone public
- 23:20Speaker 6: is starting to wake up to the threat and the
- 23:23Speaker 6: fundamental anti Semitism and the violent protests and the supporting
- 23:29Speaker 6: organizations like the CFMU riddled with biky gangs and organized crime.
- 23:33Speaker 6: I mean, this is not an ugly, not a pretty
- 23:36Speaker 6: picture for the Greens. So I think it's an important
- 23:38Speaker 6: win for the government. But in terms off an election
- 23:41Speaker 6: was held today, they would certainly be a minority government
- 23:45Speaker 6: I think from either party. I still think Labor are
- 23:48Speaker 6: more likely to do it. Quite as bullish as Michael
- 23:52Speaker 6: on Peter Dutton. I still think that Labor are in
- 23:56Speaker 6: position to have at least my minority. There are some
- 24:01Speaker 6: in the government to think that they're still a pathway
- 24:05Speaker 6: to a majority government, but they need to have a
- 24:08Speaker 6: cracking next four or five months if they were going
- 24:11Speaker 6: to be able to retain majority government.
- 24:15Speaker 2: Yeah, and of course one of those months, maybe two's
- 24:17Speaker 2: the summer break where you don't get much traction dragging
- 24:22Speaker 2: down the Michael, as a fellow Victorian, dragging down the
- 24:25Speaker 2: whole country now is Victoria, which has been called a
- 24:29Speaker 2: poor state now by Con Saul Eslake. I was shocked
- 24:33Speaker 2: to hear this for the first time. Victoria is poorer
- 24:37Speaker 2: than even Tasmania if you judge by how much each
- 24:40Speaker 2: person produces or can spend their disposable income, and the
- 24:44Speaker 2: state dead of course, is more than the debt of
- 24:46Speaker 2: New South Wales and Queensland combined.
- 24:48Speaker 5: What's going on, Well, basically you've had our labor government
- 24:53Speaker 5: here in Victoria drunken debt. They've learned nothing from labor
- 24:56Speaker 5: governments in the past, who's spending well beyond our capacity to.
- 25:00Speaker 5: They've dramatically increased taxes on property as their any way
- 25:04Speaker 5: of getting out of this mess. They've basically made Victoria
- 25:07Speaker 5: and economic basket case. I mean, our state debt will
- 25:09Speaker 5: be more than two hundred billion in three years time,
- 25:13Speaker 5: you know, So the state liberals, even when they come
- 25:15Speaker 5: in in a couple of years time, there's nothing to sell.
- 25:18Speaker 5: Victorians are going to be saddled with this debt for
- 25:20Speaker 5: a generation. So that's basically what happened. You know, they've
- 25:24Speaker 5: learned nothing from the spending you know of the Cane
- 25:28Speaker 5: Kerner years, the overspend, and we have to the Liberal
- 25:33Speaker 5: Party declined this as usual. Let's hope they can and
- 25:38Speaker 5: let's hope that you know, the four or five federal
- 25:40Speaker 5: seats in Victoria that could Jettis and Peter Dutton into
- 25:43Speaker 5: office in his own rights one, and that very much
- 25:47Speaker 5: depends on what happens here electorally Andrew.
- 25:50Speaker 2: But that's the problem, isn't it, Steve, really that the
- 25:54Speaker 2: government has, in fact, in Victoria, has crueled the pitch
- 25:58Speaker 2: for the Federal Labor Party. The Labor brand now stinks statewise.
- 26:04Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I've actually run out of time because we're
- 26:06Speaker 2: going to cross to the ushul in Corfield. Sorry about that, Stephen,
- 26:10Speaker 2: I'll give you extra time, I'll respond, correspond. Yeah, okay, well,
- 26:16Speaker 2: just lots of time to workshop that one. Thank you guys.
- 26:19Speaker 2: After the break, the Russian ambassador attacks Australia. Just Prus,
- 26:24Speaker 2: he's a shameless liar. I told you at the top
- 26:30Speaker 2: of the show that Propalacin in the streams. We're planning
- 26:33Speaker 2: a protest outside a Corefield showl or a synagogue in
- 26:37Speaker 2: the Melbourne's most Jewish suburb, Corefield. Oh then they said, ah,
- 26:41Speaker 2: we're going to call it off because the Jews are
- 26:44Speaker 2: threatening something so violent, which was rubbish. Well, in fact,
- 26:48Speaker 2: it's not being called off. Police have already arrested or
- 26:51Speaker 2: seemed to have arrested one gentleman. So called outside and
- 26:56Speaker 2: there more around the corner. Join now by Georgie, our
- 27:01Speaker 2: reporter who's at the scene monitoring all this, Georgia Dixon. Georgie,
- 27:06Speaker 2: thank you so much for your time. What can you
- 27:08Speaker 2: tell us about this protest?
- 27:12Speaker 7: Yeah, good morning, good afternoon, Rather Andrew. Now, at the moment,
- 27:15Speaker 7: we've seen around one hundred, maybe two hundred members of
- 27:19Speaker 7: the local Jewish community coming out here. They all started
- 27:22Speaker 7: arriving around six pm and they've steadily been increasing in numbers.
- 27:27Speaker 7: And what the pro Palestine groups are saying is that,
- 27:31Speaker 7: you know, these groups were going to be violent and
- 27:34Speaker 7: that was never going to be the case of the
- 27:35Speaker 7: Jewish community. The pro Palestine group had threatened to come
- 27:39Speaker 7: down here and protests, and so the Jewish community has
- 27:42Speaker 7: come out in force to ensure that they can, you know,
- 27:45Speaker 7: protect their rights. This is a very large Jewish population
- 27:49Speaker 7: in the care Field community here, and I've been speaking
- 27:52Speaker 7: to a number of the members of the Jewish community
- 27:54Speaker 7: and they are saying that they are fed up, they
- 27:56Speaker 7: are sick and tired. They feel like they can't even
- 27:59Speaker 7: go into our city anymore because every weekend we are
- 28:02Speaker 7: seeing pro Palestine groups on the steps of Parliament we
- 28:06Speaker 7: saw just you know, around two weeks ago, the Maya
- 28:09Speaker 7: reveal of the Christmas decorations called off because of these
- 28:12Speaker 7: threats from the pro Palestine groups, and then they ends
- 28:16Speaker 7: up calling it off. But right now we've seen a
- 28:18Speaker 7: mass exodus of some of the Jewish community going up
- 28:21Speaker 7: towards the park. They are hearing reports from their community
- 28:24Speaker 7: Facebook page that they are groups of pro Palestine protesters
- 28:28Speaker 7: are gathering and planning to walk down outside the synagogue here.
- 28:32Speaker 7: And we've seen a large police presence here tonight, Andrew.
- 28:35Speaker 7: They are all out in force and they will be.
- 28:37Speaker 7: As you mentioned, they've arrested that person. We are still
- 28:40Speaker 7: trying to find out exactly why that person was arrested,
- 28:43Speaker 7: and no doubt there will be more arrests if we
- 28:45Speaker 7: see any type of bad behavior from some of these protesters.
- 28:49Speaker 2: Andrew, Oh, Georgie, it seems so ridiculous, you kind of,
- 28:55Speaker 2: you know, people meeting of their place of worship without
- 28:57Speaker 2: these protesters going all the way probably across the city,
- 29:01Speaker 2: judging from where these protesters tend to normally congregate, it
- 29:06Speaker 2: seems extraordinary all the way to Jewish core Field.
- 29:12Speaker 1: It does.
- 29:13Speaker 7: And some of these people are saying that you know,
- 29:16Speaker 7: this is their place that they could feel safe. This
- 29:18Speaker 7: is their community, this is their home. But now these
- 29:20Speaker 7: people are coming into their own backyard, and as I mentioned,
- 29:23Speaker 7: they feel like they've been pushed out of the city.
- 29:24Speaker 7: They've been pushed out of other areas. They don't feel safe,
- 29:27Speaker 7: and now they can't even walk around. And this is
- 29:29Speaker 7: why they are showing it that they are peaceful. They
- 29:33Speaker 7: have got music, there is dancing. They are all gathering
- 29:36Speaker 7: here together to show the force of the Jewish community
- 29:38Speaker 7: and show that they all do stand together and against
- 29:41Speaker 7: the hateful rhetoric that we have seen from some of
- 29:44Speaker 7: these pro Palestine protesters.
- 29:48Speaker 2: Judge Dix is a great report. Thank you so much
- 29:50Speaker 2: for keeping us up to date. Let us know if
- 29:52Speaker 2: there's something else that happens there before the end of
- 29:55Speaker 2: the show. Really appreciate it my country. I mean, it's
- 30:02Speaker 2: unforgivable what's happening and where the hell is this damn
- 30:09Speaker 2: Albanzi government. I mean, honestly, I know they want to do,
- 30:14Speaker 2: you know, save votes Muslim votes in Western Sydney, but
- 30:18Speaker 2: I think this is another classic Albanizi mistake. What you're
- 30:22Speaker 2: gaining in those votes, mister ALBINIZI you're losing in the middle.
- 30:27Speaker 2: There must be I would hope millions of Australians who
- 30:30Speaker 2: feel as I do, shocked that this should happen in
- 30:33Speaker 2: our country and you sit there doing damn nothing unbelievable
- 30:42Speaker 2: but love down. I've got to call out Russia's ambassador here,
- 30:44Speaker 2: Alexey Pavlovski. A man's job it is to sell the
- 30:49Speaker 2: war criminal Vladimir Putin and is warmongering autocracy to defend
- 30:54Speaker 2: their horrific crimes in Ukraine. Now today, this fool went
- 30:59Speaker 2: on the ABC for some reason and couldn't even deny
- 31:03Speaker 2: straight out the Russian soldiers in Ukraine R and D
- 31:05Speaker 2: torturing prisoners.
- 31:07Speaker 8: Do you think torture is going has been going on
- 31:09Speaker 8: in occupied territories in Ukraine?
- 31:12Speaker 9: I'm not actually we will have with you, So the
- 31:17Speaker 9: format of this interview probably is not to be conducive to.
- 31:23Speaker 1: Yes or no question?
- 31:24Speaker 8: Do you think torture is going on by Russian forces
- 31:27Speaker 8: in Ukrainian territory?
- 31:28Speaker 9: I don't accept it as a yes or no question.
- 31:33Speaker 1: I'm saying it's pretty simple, maybe, but.
- 31:37Speaker 9: I don't accept it because reality is much more more
- 31:42Speaker 9: complicated than the ABC wants to make it.
- 31:49Speaker 2: A good question by Steve Canaan. But what's stunned me
- 31:52Speaker 2: was to hear this joker of an ambassador make this claim.
- 31:57Speaker 9: Russia is much more liberal in these days of war
- 32:01Speaker 9: or war then see Australia. Our talk shows a range
- 32:07Speaker 9: of opinions is expressed, and it would be absolutely unthinkable
- 32:13Speaker 9: the shameful episode at Q and D in twenty twenty
- 32:17Speaker 9: two and Stan Grant mooted out of out a member
- 32:23Speaker 9: of the audience for just pouting a question that departs
- 32:27Speaker 9: from their mainstream.
- 32:29Speaker 2: But I did say at the time that Grant was
- 32:30Speaker 2: done to do that on the ABC squ and A.
- 32:33Speaker 2: But Russia is more liberal, It's talk shows a wide
- 32:36Speaker 2: range of views. This Russia is a country that's actually
- 32:40Speaker 2: banned me personally in some sixty other media figures here
- 32:44Speaker 2: from even going to his country. Russia is a country
- 32:48Speaker 2: that's jailed American journalist Evan Gershkevich. It's where Russian journals
- 32:53Speaker 2: of criticized Putin have wound up murdered, where journeys of
- 32:57Speaker 2: criticized Putince war on Ukraine have being jailed, many of them.
- 33:02Speaker 2: So do Russia's ambassador. I say this ambassador Pavlovski. You
- 33:07Speaker 2: are a liar, You are a salesman of evil. You
- 33:11Speaker 2: disgrace yourself, your family and your country, and you so
- 33:14Speaker 2: have no soul. The Albanis the government has indeed having
- 33:22Speaker 2: won success with the help of the opposition. Yet I
- 33:26Speaker 2: worry it is pushing through its ban on children under
- 33:29Speaker 2: sixteen using social media like x and TikTok and Facebook.
- 33:33Speaker 2: It's a band that's going to force all of us,
- 33:34Speaker 2: in fact, to verify our age, maybe even through identity,
- 33:38Speaker 2: reveal our identity use these sites. But Albanis it says
- 33:41Speaker 2: it's time to govern acted up parents of other people's children.
- 33:45Speaker 10: This is a tool for parents to work with their
- 33:50Speaker 10: sons or daughters. So of course parents already have the
- 33:53Speaker 10: option of banning funds or particular social media platforms for
- 33:56Speaker 10: their children, but that does mean going up against the
- 34:00Speaker 10: power of peer pressure, means making their child the odd one.
- 34:03Speaker 10: App This bill is about taking the pressure off parents
- 34:06Speaker 10: and teachers. It lets some point to the authority of government.
- 34:10Speaker 2: And what kind of parents now need the government to
- 34:14Speaker 2: do their parenting for them. It's strange the government's saying, well,
- 34:19Speaker 2: we're the only country in the world is doing this,
- 34:21Speaker 2: and they think it's great, but I was thinking, well,
- 34:24Speaker 2: maybe there's a reason why the country is following us.
- 34:26Speaker 2: But there you go. Joining me A Damien Courry, a
- 34:29Speaker 2: corporate communications consultant and hosts of his own video podcast.
- 34:33Speaker 2: The other side, Stephen javoua an author and senior lecturer
- 34:36Speaker 2: in history at Camping College. It's lecturing on things like
- 34:40Speaker 2: something that seems to be fast disappearing Western civilization. Stephen,
- 34:45Speaker 2: do you support age restrictions and social media to protect
- 34:49Speaker 2: children from unknown bullying and predators.
- 34:52Speaker 8: If imposed by parents, Yes, absolutely, but not imposed by
- 34:55Speaker 8: the government. People like to draw an analogy between banning
- 34:59Speaker 8: children with cigarettes and alcohol and social media. The difference
- 35:03Speaker 8: is that children profit nothing from drinking alcohol from smoking cigarettes,
- 35:08Speaker 8: and banning them from doing it doesn't in any way
- 35:11Speaker 8: impinge on anyone else's liberty. With social media, it's going
- 35:15Speaker 8: to become it's going to become necessary for adults to
- 35:18Speaker 8: have to register for social media as well, and that
- 35:20Speaker 8: means uploading their own personal information to be verified by
- 35:23Speaker 8: the government, which means that any adult who wants to
- 35:28Speaker 8: create an anonymous an anonymous account to criticize the government
- 35:32Speaker 8: is not going to be anonymous to the government anymore.
- 35:35Speaker 8: This is actually a very very dangerous piece of legislation
- 35:38Speaker 8: which could potentially chill anti government speech. But of course
- 35:42Speaker 8: rock Bottom, it's the government taking over the role of
- 35:44Speaker 8: the parents.
- 35:47Speaker 2: Damian Currie, I mean, are you for it at all?
- 35:49Speaker 2: I had Bannaby Joyce on the show last week. He said, no,
- 35:53Speaker 2: this is good because of the bullying of children. This
- 35:56Speaker 2: is good. But what do you make of it? Yeah?
- 36:00Speaker 11: I don't know why the Nationals are behind this. I
- 36:02Speaker 11: mean I can sort of understand Peter Dutton. We know
- 36:04Speaker 11: Peter Dutton likes to hyper police everything and would love
- 36:07Speaker 11: to have a control over everything, but I can't understand
- 36:11Speaker 11: why the Nationals. We've got some good Nationals standing up
- 36:13Speaker 11: like Mat Canavan and things like that. But look, basically,
- 36:15Speaker 11: let's get to the chase. As Steven said, this has
- 36:18Speaker 11: got nothing to do with protecting children from bullying. Kids
- 36:21Speaker 11: get bullied offline as well, and when they're online. There
- 36:24Speaker 11: was a beautiful story the other day. A young woman
- 36:26Speaker 11: posted a story about how she found soulas she found friends.
- 36:30Speaker 11: She found comfort in a very difficult period of her
- 36:32Speaker 11: life because she was able to engage with people online.
- 36:35Speaker 11: Kids use online social media for education. There's a million
- 36:38Speaker 11: reasons why they should be able to access social media.
- 36:42Speaker 11: But you know, this is really about getting a database
- 36:45Speaker 11: of faces, getting a database of faces, and linking those
- 36:48Speaker 11: faces to ages, and linking them to our passports and
- 36:51Speaker 11: our driver's licenses.
- 36:52Speaker 2: What they called in twenty nineteen the capability.
- 36:55Speaker 11: I mean, this was on the record, on the public record,
- 36:57Speaker 11: and Peter Dutton was all for it. So what we're
- 37:00Speaker 11: seeing here is really the rolling out of national ID
- 37:05Speaker 11: in a sense and facial recognition ID. It's really gotten
- 37:08Speaker 11: absolutely nothing to do with protecting young children whatsoever. But
- 37:12Speaker 11: government always sells control initiatives by saying that they're looking
- 37:16Speaker 11: to keep us safe, they're looking to protect the children,
- 37:19Speaker 11: and then they jump on crises and situations and problems
- 37:22Speaker 11: like this in order to push this stuff through to
- 37:24Speaker 11: get more and more control.
- 37:26Speaker 2: Yeah. I suspect that a lot of liberals said yes
- 37:28Speaker 2: in order to deny the government to an election issue
- 37:31Speaker 2: a difference between them with the election in what April
- 37:34Speaker 2: May or whatever, probably April March. But yeah, I don't
- 37:38Speaker 2: know if it's that smart. But at least Stephen the
- 37:41Speaker 2: government has now dropped this bill to ban misinformation, so
- 37:45Speaker 2: called misinformation as the fine by government appointed senses on
- 37:49Speaker 2: the Internet. But I've got to ask, since when have
- 37:53Speaker 2: our governments become this frightened by free speech? Do you know?
- 37:59Speaker 8: I was thinking about this the other day, and I
- 38:01Speaker 8: think the key year is actually twenty sixteen. In twenty sixteen,
- 38:05Speaker 8: that was the year that the left was shaken for
- 38:08Speaker 8: the first time in a very long time by two
- 38:11Speaker 8: cataclysmic events, and that was Brexit and the election of
- 38:15Speaker 8: Donald Trump. And on both occasions they could only explain
- 38:18Speaker 8: it by way of misinformation and disinformation. And ever since
- 38:22Speaker 8: twenty sixteen, particularly leftist technocrats behind the scenes in government
- 38:29Speaker 8: have been whispering in the years of politicians telling them
- 38:33Speaker 8: that they need to start clamping down on misinformation and disinformation.
- 38:36Speaker 8: We saw it during COVID, We actually even saw it
- 38:39Speaker 8: during the same sex marriage debate, and certainly during the Voice,
- 38:43Speaker 8: where those who are opposed to the Voice were accused
- 38:45Speaker 8: of misinformation and disinformation. And so I think twenty sixteen
- 38:52Speaker 8: really shook the left up so badly that they realized
- 38:56Speaker 8: that as soon as alternative narratives get out there in
- 38:59Speaker 8: the public sphere, they actually have a fight on their
- 39:02Speaker 8: hands by the people and so they're clamping down on it.
- 39:09Speaker 2: Look, I wonder whether you've put your finger on something there, Damien.
- 39:18Speaker 2: The left used to be very much pro free speech
- 39:22Speaker 2: and against censorship. That was before. Now it's gone completely
- 39:26Speaker 2: the other way around. And I wonder, picking up on
- 39:28Speaker 2: what Stephen was saying, whether that's coincided with the fact
- 39:32Speaker 2: that the Left now represent a sort of elite which
- 39:35Speaker 2: is found, to its horror, that it's traditional working class
- 39:39Speaker 2: base have dramatically different political views and it's now trying
- 39:45Speaker 2: to squash them. Yeah.
- 39:48Speaker 11: Look, I think the hypocrisy of the left on this
- 39:51Speaker 11: has been astounding. I mean, if you've only got to
- 39:53Speaker 11: go back to twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen when they were
- 39:56Speaker 11: talking about this capability thing and everybody was demonizing Peter
- 40:00Speaker 11: Dutton and saying he was going to be the dangerous one.
- 40:02Speaker 11: That Julian Burnside was all over television talking about how
- 40:05Speaker 11: dangerous Peter Dutton was going to be and how he
- 40:07Speaker 11: was the most evil minister ever because he had so
- 40:10Speaker 11: much power and now he wanted to take photographs of
- 40:12Speaker 11: everybody and keep a national database of everybody's facial recognition.
- 40:17Speaker 11: And now we have the left pushing the very same
- 40:20Speaker 11: thing through under the guise of again, you know, keeping
- 40:23Speaker 11: us all safe and protecting the children. And of course
- 40:26Speaker 11: we have a fairly weak opposition on this, not opposing it.
- 40:30Speaker 11: They had to be dragged, kicking and screaming to oppose
- 40:32Speaker 11: the Misinformation and Disinformation Bill.
- 40:35Speaker 2: Now they're going to have to.
- 40:36Speaker 11: I just don't understand why they keep driving this stuff
- 40:39Speaker 11: that nobody wants. Why doesn't somebody just stand up and
- 40:42Speaker 11: give the Australian people what they want and then they
- 40:45Speaker 11: would win the election in a landslide.
- 40:48Speaker 2: It fascinates me, it really does well, Damien. The number
- 40:53Speaker 2: of philosophers have said that the most dangerous instinct of
- 40:59Speaker 2: politicians leaders is to improve people morally, because that gets
- 41:04Speaker 2: a license to do absolutely need damn thing to them.
- 41:07Speaker 2: Stephen Trevera, Damien Curry, thank you very much to you both.
- 41:11Speaker 2: Now listen, I've got to go back to this protest
- 41:15Speaker 2: in Corfield because we now apparently have laid eyes on
- 41:20Speaker 2: these protests as have found it was a really great
- 41:23Speaker 2: idea to go all the way across town to the
- 41:27Speaker 2: most Jewish suburb in Melbourne and confront people in their
- 41:32Speaker 2: place of worship. I mean, is that not extraordinary. Anyway,
- 41:38Speaker 2: let's go back to Georgie Dickinson in Corfield.
- 41:50Speaker 3: Had a launch.
- 41:53Speaker 7: At hangling Hand all on the Sistrimutity actually come out
- 42:00Speaker 7: to them to say it, and they're yelling at them
- 42:03Speaker 7: thought home. They're saying, go home, go up home. Now
- 42:07Speaker 7: the police are here, they are moving and at the
- 42:10Speaker 7: moment we've put them in of a standstill. There's around
- 42:12Speaker 7: twenty pro Palestine protests I can actually see, and now we've.
- 42:17Speaker 2: Got hundreds hundreds of Jewish.
- 42:19Speaker 7: People out here telling them to leave. The cops are
- 42:23Speaker 7: trying to maintain a saban peaceful situation. I will say
- 42:28Speaker 7: it's actually quite peaceful. We are moving, so it looks
- 42:31Speaker 7: like it's a bit more aggressive.
- 42:32Speaker 12: Than what it is.
- 42:33Speaker 7: But at the moment, as you can see, they are singing,
- 42:35Speaker 7: we've got Jewish flags.
- 42:37Speaker 13: I actually can't even see the.
- 42:38Speaker 7: Pro Palestine protests in this stage.
- 42:40Speaker 13: Andrew, they've all gode.
- 42:42Speaker 7: It looks like a little bit further.
- 42:44Speaker 13: Down that way.
- 42:45Speaker 7: They told them that they.
- 42:46Speaker 13: Would be calling this protest off.
- 42:48Speaker 7: They said they weren't going to be going ahead with
- 42:50Speaker 7: it anymore, but instead they gathered ten minutes down the
- 42:54Speaker 7: road and have them made their way up here to
- 42:56Speaker 7: the synagogue where they have planned together to start with.
- 42:59Speaker 7: So at the moment I haven't any more Brits toy
- 43:03Speaker 7: stage Andrew. But at the moment it's still an every
- 43:06Speaker 7: learning situation. The promises been green.
- 43:11Speaker 2: Bus, go down the road, Georgie, great stuff, thank you
- 43:17Speaker 2: so much. Indeed, really appreciate that. Unbelievable after the break,
- 43:23Speaker 2: go won't go broke the government. That's just proving that
- 43:27Speaker 2: big time. If you want to see in politics this
- 43:33Speaker 2: new rule, you know, go w go broke. You look
- 43:35Speaker 2: at Britain. It's just four months since British photos elected
- 43:39Speaker 2: their new woke and all right also terribly incompetent labor government.
- 43:45Speaker 2: Yet it's been so hopeless that government and its support
- 43:49Speaker 2: us crashed so spectacularly that an online petition demanding a
- 43:53Speaker 2: new election has got almost two million signatures already in
- 43:57Speaker 2: just five days. Joining me from London is right broadcast
- 44:01Speaker 2: in colonsays so correct you, It's great to see you.
- 44:03Speaker 2: As always. This this petition just the joke. Is it
- 44:07Speaker 2: going to have any effect?
- 44:09Speaker 12: Well, it must be debated in parliament. So unfortunately this
- 44:12Speaker 12: is not something that can be swept under the rug.
- 44:14Speaker 12: But the real story here is labor spectacular fall from grace.
- 44:19Speaker 12: I mean, in record time, they have just basically squandered
- 44:22Speaker 12: what little grace they were given by the electorates. And
- 44:24Speaker 12: I find it interesting that Liz Trust ousted by her
- 44:27Speaker 12: own party because the Bank of England managed to manipulate
- 44:30Speaker 12: the British economy to make it seem like what she
- 44:33Speaker 12: was doing was a disaster. But really, in the one
- 44:35Speaker 12: hundred days that Kirstama's government has been in place, we
- 44:37Speaker 12: can actually see a disaster on many fronts. I mean,
- 44:40Speaker 12: I'm pretty sure you're probably going to hear horrific stories
- 44:42Speaker 12: of pension is freezing in their homes because of the
- 44:44Speaker 12: removal of the winter fuel allowance. You know, there's taxes
- 44:47Speaker 12: inheritance tax on farmers that is completely economically illiterate and
- 44:51Speaker 12: basically ideologically driven.
- 44:52Speaker 13: Don't get me started on the Foreign Secretary.
- 44:54Speaker 12: David Lammy, who insulted Trump Donald Trump and now President
- 44:58Speaker 12: of the United States almost important ally all I not once,
- 45:01Speaker 12: but on many occasions, and called him a fascist and
- 45:03Speaker 12: a Nazi sympathizer. You have Ed Miliband, who was a
- 45:06Speaker 12: failed prime ministerea hopeful who's now losing his mind on
- 45:12Speaker 12: zero and policies that are going to cripple.
- 45:15Speaker 13: The British economy.
- 45:16Speaker 12: So I think the overarching story here is Labor is
- 45:19Speaker 12: sinking fast and kiss Starmer has no judgment the entirety
- 45:22Speaker 12: of his cabinet.
- 45:22Speaker 13: Literally, you couldn't make a pantomime about it because it'd
- 45:25Speaker 13: be too tongue in cheek.
- 45:26Speaker 12: You just cannot imagine the level of incompetence here and
- 45:29Speaker 12: people can see it.
- 45:30Speaker 13: And actually the polls have showed that the Tories have rebounced.
- 45:33Speaker 12: They're leading Labor by many points in the polls even
- 45:36Speaker 12: though they've just they were kicked out spectacularly just four
- 45:40Speaker 12: months ago, and Reform are also cloing up the polls.
- 45:42Speaker 12: I mean, what's looking likely at the next election is
- 45:44Speaker 12: probably either an outright Reform win or a coalition between
- 45:48Speaker 12: the Tories and Reform if the Tories can come to sense.
- 45:51Speaker 12: But I mean, Labor have just become a complete write off.
- 45:54Speaker 12: We now have a Chancellor who has basically fibbed on
- 45:57Speaker 12: her CV and had manipulated it to make it seem
- 45:59Speaker 12: like she was.
- 45:59Speaker 13: More qualified she wasn't. And we remember Boris Johnson was
- 46:02Speaker 13: kicked out over a slice of cake.
- 46:03Speaker 12: So I'm not really sure why different standards are applying
- 46:07Speaker 12: to the chancellor. You know, someone who's running the economy,
- 46:10Speaker 12: not a corner shop. And we have kids, Darmer who's
- 46:13Speaker 12: had his hands in the Freebee trough to the tune
- 46:15Speaker 12: of one hundred thousand pounds. It's a complete pr disaster
- 46:18Speaker 12: and I just don't see it getting better.
- 46:22Speaker 2: Well, I just got to warn you your David miller
- 46:25Speaker 2: Band is very chummy with our Chris Bowen, and the
- 46:27Speaker 2: two guys got together with lots of confab at the
- 46:31Speaker 2: climate conference in Baku. Look up Chris Bowen, and I
- 46:35Speaker 2: think you will alarm will be heightened by a factor
- 46:38Speaker 2: of one. But at least your government has now given
- 46:43Speaker 2: Ukraine permission to fire. It's British made storm Shadow missiles
- 46:47Speaker 2: that Britain donated at targets inside Russia for the first time,
- 46:51Speaker 2: despite Russian President Putin again warning oh you do that,
- 46:55Speaker 2: we're going to get nuclear war. But now Russia does
- 46:59Speaker 2: have a human bargaining chipst their former British soldier James
- 47:03Speaker 2: Scott Rhys Anderson, who was captured by Russia fighting for Ukraine.
- 47:07Speaker 2: It's news that broke only earlier today. But how's this
- 47:10Speaker 2: likely to play out in Britain.
- 47:13Speaker 12: Unfortunately, Miss Anderson is not so much a bargaining chip
- 47:16Speaker 12: as an unfortunate victim of the circumstances. This is someone
- 47:19Speaker 12: who's early twenty two, who was allegedly dismissed by the
- 47:23Speaker 12: armed forces, so he doesn't have a really long career
- 47:25Speaker 12: military career behind him, who was begged by his parents,
- 47:27Speaker 12: according to his own father.
- 47:29Speaker 13: To not have gone to the war in Ukraine.
- 47:31Speaker 12: So he just seems like, you know, an unfortunate casualty,
- 47:33Speaker 12: and there isn't a much spirit in amongst the British
- 47:35Speaker 12: public to sacrifice our bargaining position to get him back.
- 47:39Speaker 12: And this is what Russia does. They kidnap people and
- 47:41Speaker 12: use them as bargaining chips and they've always done this.
- 47:44Speaker 13: But you know, the world seems to be resetting.
- 47:46Speaker 12: I mean, Donald Trump hasn't actually even officially become president,
- 47:49Speaker 12: and somehow Britain is deciding to give Ukraine what he
- 47:52Speaker 12: needs to give it a better position when it's negotiating,
- 47:55Speaker 12: and so are many other countries.
- 47:57Speaker 13: It's incredible, isn't it.
- 47:58Speaker 12: The threat of a man like Donald Trump is enough
- 48:00Speaker 12: to make countries act like they wouldn't have ordinarily.
- 48:05Speaker 2: Well, that is in fact correct, and no one has
- 48:08Speaker 2: that actually knows what Donald Trump is going to do
- 48:11Speaker 2: in Ukraine. In fact, you know, he said I'm going
- 48:14Speaker 2: to settle it in one day, and people thought I
- 48:16Speaker 2: was going to he was going to throw Ukraine to
- 48:18Speaker 2: the wolves. But now one of his key one of
- 48:21Speaker 2: his key allies in Congress said, Russia watch out. So
- 48:26Speaker 2: that's the whole thing, that's his magic. No one knows
- 48:29Speaker 2: esther Kracker, thank you so much, indeed for your time.
- 48:34Speaker 2: That's it for me. We hope during the night if
- 48:36Speaker 2: something happens at that Corefield protest, we'll keep you up
- 48:39Speaker 2: to date with that. But coming up next Sharry markson
- 48:42Speaker 2: good Night
