  Speaker 1: East the reform.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: It Tonight scary scenes as a government funded aboriginal tribunal
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: holds the country's first so called truth telling hearings with
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: guilty whites asked to denounce white racism. It's a joke
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: until you realize how serious this is. Also tonight Australia's
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: shocking growth figures today. This crisis is even worse than
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: you're told. But this government is in denial and the
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: coalition promises to overturn the environment. And it's this crazy
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: man on a billion dollar gold mine because of secret
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Aboriginal business. But watch out now she's going after cats.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: But first American celebrity commentator Candace Owens has not just
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: confirmed by people accused her of being an anti Semite,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: She's just confirmed as well in a video abusing me
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: that she's a fantasist and a shameless liar. It staggers
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: me that Australians are spending ninety five dollars ahead to
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: now here. This kook speak on her Australian tour this
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: month provided the Albaneze government gives her a visa. Big
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: question Mark now owns claims that she's a straight talking conservative.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: But she's not.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: We could go a showed Owen's making the most bizarre
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: claims plainly nuts, that Stalin was a Jew, Lenin was a.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Jew, at Titouk was a Jew.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Israel might have been created by members of a child
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: sacrificing Christian killing cult.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: Catholics and Christians were going missing on Passover and then
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: they would find bodies, okay, across Europe and they were
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: able to trace them back.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: To Jews, blood Bibel.
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: They weren't Jews, okay, these were Frankests.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Unless the nation of Israel may have been a stuf
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: published by some Frankists.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: I suppose this poison. And now Candasy's upset, and she
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: told the fellows a string of lies.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: The Andrew Bolt sat around with the team of producers
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: and they were like, hey, so we had Candis book
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: to be on Sky News.
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: They did.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: I was booked to be on there at that exact
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: same day. We canceled her because obviously if she came on,
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: she would be able to defend herself and people would
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: realize that we are actually the kooks. So what should
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: we cook up? And someone in there was like, poisonously ignorant,
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's good, let's run that. They actually have
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: that they're at the bottom. She's poisonously ignorant. And then
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Andrew Bolt reminds people, I'm a kook. Well there you go,
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: take it to the bank. Forget all these rappers coming
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: in that have got you know, drug charges and domestic
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: assault and attempted murder charges that they maybe be. Candace
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Owens is a cook and poisonously ignorant, and that, my friends,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: is the reason the Australian government wants my visa denied.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Now it's typical Candice Owens, by which I mean it's
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: entirely false. I never asked Owens to come on. I
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: never wanted Owens to come on, and never it canceled
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Owens and never contacted Owens, and nor did my producer.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: It's entirely in her own imagination. Now, it's true that
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: some other producer and some other show asked her on
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: for that show and then overbooked and it fell through.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Nothing to do with me, But that's the kind of
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: research that Owens does.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: It reminds me, in fact, of this string of nonsense
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: from a woman who is as ignorant as she is untruthful.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: The Bullshriit Revolution happened the assassin Basar I think in
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: eighteen eighty, and then by the time they actually properly
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: took over I think it was around nineteen ten. They
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: were mass drowning Christians and barges.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: The Bolsheviks assassinated. That'sa in nineteen eighteen, not eighteen eighty.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: They took over Russia in nineteen seventeen, not nineteen ten.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: And they didn't drown Christians in bags. That was the
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: French Revolution. The Bolsheviks just shot them. But Owens hadn't
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: finished with me. And this is what's so truly pathetic,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: really pathetic. She played the race card exactly luck you'd
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: expect from a scoundrel of the left.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Which has he done a single segment looking into any
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: of the performers that are being allowed into the country.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: My best guess is no, which is even more amazing, right,
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: because he's super upset that a black woman is coming
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: to speak about how she came from nothing and made
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: something out of herself and believes in conservative principles and
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: believes in free market capitalism. That version of a black
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: person is like, no, No, that can't happen.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: What tickets on hisself?
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: In fact, Candice, I am barracking for a black woman
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: to become a Prime Minister of Australia, Senator Jacinta Nampijim Price,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: It's just that I don't think you've got anything like
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: what it takes to be part of a public debate.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: And in fact, I have defended people who've.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Been threatened or banned from Australia.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Marley Yanopolis, for instance, when politicians tried to ban him.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: I joined his show, not because I liked what he
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: said at all, I didn't, but because I hated the censorship.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: And even with you, Candace, I have not said ban
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: her am ambivalent. I've just said you're an anti Jewish bigot,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: and you're a fool to think you're an oracle. Anyone
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: who thinks you are as a fool as well. Now
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: it's this whole thing about here she is pushing that
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: stereo typewrited in that she is being denied a visa
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: by anti Semites. It's that whole stereotype that Jews control,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: that she's been denied by Jews, That there's a stereotype
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: that jew control the world, they control our country.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: How does it take one call from the Zionus Federation
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: of Australia to make it so that a mother of
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: three can't come in to speak. Who's who's really in
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: charge here?
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Oh mother of three as well? I forgot really listen.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: One call from the Zionist Federation is not why Owens
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: might be banned, right, Kendus, You got to understand this.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: There are many many people who aren't Jews at all
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: who think you are in lire, that you're an idiot,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: and that you've sold every scrap of credibility you ever
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: had among conservatives by now selling yourself so cheaply to
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: conspiracy theorists and jew haters on the darkest corners of
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: the Internet, and then calling yourself brave. You're not brave,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: You're just totally without principles. I'm going to show you
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: a video now of that bizarre circus of guilt in
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Victoria today. You know, all Australia should watch and be
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: worn because this is what race war warriors in the
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Aboriginal industry have in mind for you as well. What
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: I saw today was just the incredible, It was hateful stuff.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Victoria's labor government has spent forty four million dollars the
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: cred an Abriiginal body called the europe Commission. Now tragically,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: this commission is now running the country's ominous first ominous
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: truth telling hearings. They promised that I knew it was bad,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: and boy they got in today some token white people
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: to confess to white guilt and to be grilled by
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: a lawyer identifying as Aboriginal.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: I mean it's like a show trial.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: The session opened with Professor Eleanor Burke, europe Commissioner.
• 8:02
  Speaker 7: We have dedicated this hearing to be focused on the
• 8:06
  Speaker 7: evidence of non first people's whose witnesses, who will share
• 8:11
  Speaker 7: their personal connection to Victorian's colonial past.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, really, why Walla yet again in the past
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: that's now two hundred years stale?
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Who does that help?
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Then another commissioner, Sue Anne Hunter, welcome Victorians to what
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: she and system was actually her tribe's land. She identifies
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: as Aboragin as you see through her father's mother who
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: won Aboriginal grandparent. As she finished with a neo pagan prayer, it.
• 8:43
  Speaker 8: May Bunge watch over us as we conduct Aboriginal business.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: May Bungo look after us.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Bungo is the wedge tail eagle that the worry injury
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: we're told thought was the creator but how widely held
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: is that belief today? And asked, because according to the
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: twenty sixteen census, most Aborigines a Christian just two percent
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: believe in some Aboriginal religion. Most of those religions do
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: not involve Bunjul the Eagle. So I would have thought
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: it made more sense and included more Aborigines if this
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: truth telling session had instead started with the Lord's.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Prayer of the bunjul one.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: And then came a white commissioner, Tony North case with
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: hair raising tails of the horror of Victoria's history that
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: I've read in no authoritative history myself. Now, whites hadn't
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: just stold them. The lady said that slaughtered Victoria's Aborigines.
• 9:45
  Speaker 8: Percent of the original population was massacred.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: In fact, he said, authorities concentrated Aborigines into reserves. You
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: get concentrated concentration camps to be eliminated.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Like you know, this is Nazi stuff.
• 10:05
  Speaker 8: Parliament then passed laws to concentrate First Nations people into
• 10:10
  Speaker 8: reserves where their lives were controlled. In detail, these laws
• 10:16
  Speaker 8: were designed to assist the elimination First Nations people, the
• 10:21
  Speaker 8: theft of land, the massacres which followed and the legislation
• 10:26
  Speaker 8: designed to eliminate the population of First nation people are
• 10:32
  Speaker 8: parts of the horror of our Victorian history.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: The horrors of Victoria's history, the elimination I mean get
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: offered and then follow three white Victorians to tell how
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: awful their fellow whites had been, including an amateur story,
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: and they said locals in her part of Gibson with
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: now cross that she was campaigning to remove memorials to
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: early settlers. She doesn't seem to be having much luck
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: in her part of the world. Joining me on culture
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Wars is Rondin and Chief of The Spectator, Australian hosts
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: of Outsiders on Sky News every Sunday at nine am. Rowan,
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: will the rest of Australia looking at our first truth
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Telling Commission say yes, that's exactly what my state needs
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: Andrew, I think most Australians will be heaving a sigh
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: of relief that we dodged a massive bullet by voting
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: no to the Voice. Had the Voice gone ahead last
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: years and in a year ago the referendum, we would
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: have had this sort of stuff at a federal level
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: and it would have been inescapable and it would have
• 11:35
  Speaker 6: had extraordinary damaging, massive ramifications. The reality is that those
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: hard left activists are going to push you ahead with
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: this stuff anyway, which is why we now have to
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: everyday Australians have to realize that it didn't stop with
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: voting no to the voice. We now have to vote
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: no to things like welcome to country, acknowledgment of country.
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: We have to say no to the Aboriginal flag flying
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: off every harbor, ridge or every building. We have to
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: say no to this apartheid, to this as you always
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: call it, race based division of the country into black
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: and white or black and non black. It's so important
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: now because we are seeing once these commissions get up
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: and they will have some kind of legal status behind them.
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: They're talking about, you know, the horrors of the past.
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: They're framing history from one perspective. Sure there may have
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: been horrors. I'm sure there were horrors, but the reality
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: of this nation is it was legally founded from the
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: very first moment the first brit stepped foot on this land.
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: The papers he held in his hand said that the
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: indigenous population must be treated with respect and must anyone
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: who harms them must be punished with the full weight
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: of the law. So any nonsense about horrors and massacres
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: and eliminations and concentration camps is so disingenuous, Andrew, because
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: it's not based on the factual history.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: That's not the same.
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: They wouldn't have been dreadful things. There are all sorts
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: of dreadful things happen in everybody's history. Look at any
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: European history over the last one hundred years. So the
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: idea of sitting around and having truth telling is such
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: an Orwellian misnomer because they're not telling the truth. They're
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: fabricating a truth, trying to give that truth some kind
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: of legal basis. And God knows what horrors lie ahead
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: if these characters are allowed to carry on down this path.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Andrew, Well, the three whites that they had before them
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: today say how terrible whites were They were happy to come.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: You wait, Rowan soon you'll be compelled to come if
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: this kid say further down the track, you know. And
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: I just wonder who on earth does any of this helpful,
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: because all I can see it encourages people who've got
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: resentment on their minds, division on their minds, or want
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: an excuse not to get up and seize their future themselves.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: They just want to sit down and you know, someone
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: to throw them some compensation or money to get them
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: through an easy life. I mean, I cannot see who
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: on earth this helps, can you?
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: Well, it doesn't help anyone. And it was Morgan Freeman,
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: funnily enough, who back in the Obama years, when he
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: was questioned during an interview, you know what about race?
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: What about black America versus white America? He said, the
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: only racism is a few people in the media keep
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: talking about it. Let's just shut up and get on
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: with making productive lives. Most Australians have nothing but goodwill
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: towards Indigenous Australia and want nothing but the best for them.
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: And in fact they prove that by the amount of
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: money that goes every year to helping Indigenous Australia. Nobody
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: wants anything but goodwill. No goodwill comes out of this
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: sort of oh horror story. You're an evil person. You
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: stuck my ancestors in concentration camp. All that does is
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: drive hatred, resentment, and the search for some kind of
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: punishment or guilt blaming. And as you said, how long
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: before you know, oh, your great grandfather was on such
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: and such a property off. You come down to the Commission,
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: we're going to punish you for whatever you supposedly did.
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: And the reality is, Andrew you know much. I'm not
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: an Indigenous historian, but there's plenty of people who've looked
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: into the history of Indigenous Australia, if Win Shuttle others
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: have done written great books about it. And yes, of
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: course there are some terrible things, but the majority of
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: it does not warrant the sort of hysteria that these
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: sort of truth telling left wing activists are looking for.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: And it's also I simply don't see the point. It's
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: about as pointless as me going to Germany and saying,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: look what you did to my family.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: During the World War Two? The Dutch? You know how
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: about it? Yes, exactly what did you do for the Dutch?
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: I think Rowan, we've actually now reached peak aborage and
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: activism of the left, you know, the guilt industry, the
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: fitiitizing of traditional average of culture as now imagined, and
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: I reckon that's because the strands are now seeing this
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: being used to close down too many businesses.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: That average is relying as well.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: In July, the Prime ministers are personally banned, personally banned
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: the uranium mine in the Northern Territory. Now environment Miss
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Tania Plivsek, she's effectively banned a one billion dollar gold
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: mine New South Wales because of secret Aboriginal business that
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: local traditional owners say is fake and it's been pushed
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: by people identifying zaborige and all nice phrase that these days.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: If that's not bad enough for her own Plemuseec is
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: now considering a new report telling me to use heritage
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: laws to stop plans to mine and drill South Australian's
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: Lake Torrance for coppy uranium and gold. Listen, do your
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: sense around the country, including how many Aboriginal leaders I
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: talked to one on Monday that.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Enough is enough.
• 16:54
  Speaker 6: One hundred percent by far, the majority of Indigenous Australians
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: want prosperity, want jobs, want a good education for their kids,
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: want opportunity. Economic opportunity comes from mining, comes from these
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: various projects. And the sheer hypocrisy of the Albanesi government
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: Tania plib Sex shutting down opportunities that would create Aboriginal jobs.
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: And here's where you get this ghastly left wing concept
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: of intersectionality. Andrew where where by the left lump all
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: these things in together and say, well, climate change. Alban
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: Ezi says, well, it's climate change that will help solve
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: Indigenous Australians problems. And this is so dangerous and so
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: demeaning to Indigenous Australians who want nothing more than a
• 17:38
  Speaker 6: fair crack of the whip and the chance to have
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: a go. And you know, seriously, if Albanesi and Jim
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: Chalmers think that we can be afford to afford to
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: be turning down gold mines and platinum mines, they clearly
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: haven't lost the books, have they.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Roads so true and today, of all days too because
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: the topic I'm about to discuss after the break, Ron Deine,
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: thank you so much for your time. And after the break,
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: I'm going to be talking about these terrible growth figures
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: for our economy.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: They are worse, dangerously worse than you are told.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: And lay Roman says, this is not the time to
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: be closing gold mines. Today's growth figures the economy even
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: worse than you're told. I mean, what you're told is
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: bad enough. The economy grew just one percent for the year,
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: one percent. The bad news is we actually increase our population,
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: but more than double that, thanks mostly to the government's
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: insane immigration intake.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: So you do the maths.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: One percent growth in our economy, two percent growth in
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: our population, So that means, you know, you know, slightly
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: bigger cake, much bigger population. We're getting poorer per person
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: with more mouths, and that's gone on now for most
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: of this government's term. So it's no wonder the Treasurer
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: is going around now blaming everyone but himself, including now
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: blaming the Reserve Bank governor, he said on Sunday was
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: smashing the economy with a high interest rates.
• 19:17
  Speaker 9: But the comments that I made on Sunday were just
• 19:19
  Speaker 9: a statement of fact. They've been born out once again
• 19:22
  Speaker 9: in the national accounts. If you look at the way
• 19:25
  Speaker 9: that our economy is slowing, you look at the particular
• 19:28
  Speaker 9: pressures in our economy. It's a combination of global economic uncertainty,
• 19:32
  Speaker 9: consistent but moderating inflation and higher interest rates.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: Oh it's the Reserve Bank governor. Oh it's the global economy.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Oh it's everyone except himself. Former prem Minister John Howard
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: is not buying Jim Charms excuses, as he wrote today,
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: the real problem is the albanis the Governor's lost control
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: of expenditure. That's on Charmers right, and that has helped,
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: of course cause the high inflation, which is a reserve
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: bank then has the fight with high interest rates. Is
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: trying to shift the blame for the pain onto the
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: shoulders his own anointed bank governor, and that was unworthy
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: of him. Not that primus Anthony Albanezy today was accepting
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: blame for spending too much. I mean, don't forget this
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: government called spending investment and handouts, our investment in people.
• 20:21
  Speaker 10: I believe we've made valuable government investment. We've been investing
• 20:25
  Speaker 10: in people.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: Joined me at Cameron Milner formature staff to labor leader
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: Bill Shorten, now director of g XO Strategies Crisis Management.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: I think he should flog himself to the government at
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: the moment. And Michael Costa, former New South Wales Labor Treasurer,
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: a dance up better than Jim Chalmers ever will be Michael,
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: what has caused these terrible figures?
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: Well, it's pretty clear that the RBA strategy is working.
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: Their strategy is to slow down the economy. Look, the
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: real issue for me is I said last week that
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: I found the treasurer vacuous and full of hubris. But
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: today he's shown, and certainly with his comments on Sunday,
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: that he's actually clueless. I mean the RBA's target. Remember
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: Andrew is negotiated with the government. He signed that target
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: off that two and a half percent, the two to
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: three percent, the middle range been the two and a
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: half percent, so it's his target as well. Rather than
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: just blaming the Reserve Banking or to front up and
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: explain to the Australian people that inflation is an insidious
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: economic destroyer and that we have to fight this and
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: do it in a way that at least brings the
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: community with us and tries to mitigate the the consequences
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: in terms of unemployment. I just also make the point,
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: you know, Australia's real interest rates have been lower than
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: places like the US, Canada, the UK and New Zealand.
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: We've got a real interest rates less than one percent,
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: and those countries have had interest rates, real interest rates
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: over two percent, and now they're in a position where
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: they can bring those down. So in a sense, by
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: taking a sort of approach that he has, he's dragged
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: out the pain in dealing with this inflation problem over
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: a longer period of time. And I think he's frustrated
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: because it was never an economic strategy, was a political
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: strategy to try and go to the election early and capitalize.
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: And the final point I'd make is he takes credit
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: for surpluses which are completely outside of his control. You know,
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: they were because of favorable terms of trade and bracket creep,
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: which is insidious as well. But on the other hand,
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: he won't take any of the sort of downside pain
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: that you need to deal with inflation.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Well, don't forget, there's only two surpluses that will deliver,
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: and his budget of papers say there'll be differences for
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: the next decade. Put the other side of the argument,
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: put the case for Jim Charmer's camera.
• 22:48
  Speaker 11: Well, the truder is only as good as the Prime
• 22:49
  Speaker 11: Minister's direction. And this is the Albanese Labor government.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: At the end of the day. It's lackluster, its limb.
• 22:55
  Speaker 11: And why are we surprised that the economic growth numbers
• 22:57
  Speaker 11: are as weak as the Prime minister himself. I mean,
• 23:00
  Speaker 11: this is a government in Albanese's own image and it's
• 23:03
  Speaker 11: very weak. It's very lackluster and not what voters want.
• 23:07
  Speaker 11: And that's what we're seeing. We're seeing a Seri of
• 23:09
  Speaker 11: economic numbers where people are in a personal recession Andrew
• 23:11
  Speaker 11: personal recession under Albanie and a little wonder he can't
• 23:15
  Speaker 11: get the vote going, but does say something that this
• 23:18
  Speaker 11: number is even worse than the worst treasurer in record
• 23:20
  Speaker 11: on Labour's sign Wayne swan Wayne swan Man should get
• 23:23
  Speaker 11: up to one point two in two thousand and eight.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Today was one point zero for Albanese.
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: Finally agree with you, Cameron.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: Well, Cameron, mamaya that pitch that you just made. But
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: I have to say, Michael. In the end, Chalmers claims
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: all the credit for the economic strategy he was positioning
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: himself as the next labor leader. Now you've got economist
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: Stephen Hamilton calling him the worst treasure since Jim Canns
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: and the Whitnam government and said this labor government's most
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: economically incompetent in half a century. And Chalmers has even
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: ordered off the property. But an angry local during a
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: live cross to Channel seven yesterday, have a look, you.
• 24:01
  Speaker 12: Can't be here filming made I don't you're looking love No, no, no.
• 24:08
  Speaker 13: No no no, we're aksing you believe you can't film
• 24:12
  Speaker 13: on our premises.
• 24:12
  Speaker 12: Okay, been asked, there you understand your first passing or
• 24:16
  Speaker 12: as believe, pilate property.
• 24:17
  Speaker 14: You understand your first pasing? Yes?
• 24:18
  Speaker 12: Or three of you you understand that to mate, understand
• 24:22
  Speaker 12: your trest passing.
• 24:23
  Speaker 14: Understand your first passing on private property, and you're a
• 24:25
  Speaker 14: few seen to believe.
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: Yes, okay, can you please have the camera up and
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: leave you?
• 24:29
  Speaker 14: Thank you.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: It's actually trying to maintain no contact with the TV hosts.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: But really, how much pressure Michael do you think he
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: is charmers is in now on got on him personally.
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: I think he's got enormous pressure on him and look
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: to extent also agree with Cameron. I mean, you know,
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: the Prime minister does set the broad direction. All those
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: silly policies you know, Future made in Australia, all those
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: green policies are certainly falling the lap of the Prime Minister.
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: But the Treasurer's role is to oppose those and rather
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: than you know, I've heard no reports of him opposing
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: that nonsense in terms of you know, the worst treasurer. Look,
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: I'm with Cameron on this. Wayne Swan was probably the
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: worst treasurer of all time.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: In my view.
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: He spent billions of dollars in cahouts with Rudd to
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: save us from a technical recession that people have been
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: paying for ever since. And of course you can't forget
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: bow And who was there for about six minutes and
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: managed to lose an election.
• 25:31
  Speaker 14: So look, you know, to be fair to him.
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: If he dropped the hubris and he dropped the sort
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: of vacuous comments and just focused on telling it like
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: it is, which is inflation is a problem and there
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: is going to be pain in trying to deal with it.
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: Not blaming the RBA because it's his target as well
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: as the RBA. We'd all be off, we'd all be
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: in a better position to try and see this through.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: Now I've got to actually pay you on this one, Cameron,
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: because I do think if charmers didn't have Bowen and
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Albanezy's spending.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Billions and billions on.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: Their mad green schemes which are falling over almost weekly,
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: that would take a lot of heat out of the economy.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: Would have taught money in the Treasurer's a piggybank. But
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: the Prime Minister was angry today, Cameron about a report
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: in the Daily Telegraph that is racked up a three
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: point eight million dollar expense bill in a single year.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: That's just for travel for him and his staff, printing
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: and communications, and it doesn't that does not include private
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: chartered flights, his mansions, and his salary and his staff's
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: wages of ten million dollars in a single year, because
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: there's got so many have listened to him.
• 26:45
  Speaker 10: If they think that the Prime Minister of Australia should
• 26:48
  Speaker 10: drive themselves around, they should say that I'd rather do that. Frankly,
• 26:54
  Speaker 10: to be honest, I'd rather do that.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Is it fair enough?
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: That is cranky being picked on? I mean, I guess
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: it's got to travel, but this much.
• 27:06
  Speaker 11: Andrew what a glass jaw and what a titty to
• 27:09
  Speaker 11: Australians doing it tough under his crisis a cost of living.
• 27:12
  Speaker 11: I mean, this is this guy who's so out of
• 27:14
  Speaker 11: touch he thinks he can run around like a rock
• 27:16
  Speaker 11: star on Toto one and have run up the bills
• 27:19
  Speaker 11: on taxpayers.
• 27:19
  Speaker 14: Tap.
• 27:20
  Speaker 11: No, the plymnist is answerable to us, and he should
• 27:22
  Speaker 11: have known this question was coming because three point eight
• 27:24
  Speaker 11: billion dollars for one person's like a tailor swift flight basically, So, no,
• 27:28
  Speaker 11: the Prime Minister is completely out of touch and that's
• 27:31
  Speaker 11: what's showing up in the poles. That's why people aren't
• 27:33
  Speaker 11: voting for him.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: Andrew I have to say, Michael that this is not
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: the first time I've thought in the last couple of
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: months that his feeling at sea, his feeling ill at is,
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: is lashing out a bit more than he ever used to.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: In his first year when we're all seeing these in
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: his popularity was through the roof.
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: It's the same process other prime ministers have gone through.
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: When the poles are rub you know you're walking on
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: cloud and when they start to turn, it's everybody else
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: has failed and you're looking for scapegoats, changing media advisor
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: when the problem is actually with.
• 28:07
  Speaker 14: You on the planes.
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: Look, most people wouldn't care if the economy was going
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: along well and they felt that things were right because
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: they understand the Prime Minister I shouldn't be driving himself
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: around and he's got responsibilities internationally. However, it's the juxtaposition
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: of him flying around and everybody else, you know, scripting
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: and saving for petrol to get to work.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: And also the sheer bloated size of his staff. It's
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: just astonishing now. Michael Costa, Cameron Milner, thank you both
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: for your time after the break. There's now a revolting
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: business about well, we talked about the green schemes that
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: are making this worse, and the inflation worse, the spending worse,
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: just dreadful, but there's a revolt in business about the consequence.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: The insane power prices and the even crazy green policies
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: it's causing it all. They don't mean to hammer this,
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: but I've got to say the poles, and the poles
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: aren't really showing this. They're not showing it, but I
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: am stiffing death in the air. The Albany's a government.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: It suddenly seems on the nose to me. Today, for instance,
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: a two page spread and the Adelaide Advertiser of Businesses
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: saying enough the screen injury revolution is just killing them.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: Elecitricity prices going through the roof. You've got Sealy International
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: makes their conditions and gas heads, power prices it says
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: they're in their business up almost sixty percent. And go
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: for family wine makers there's been up forty five percent,
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: even though they'd halved their grape intake and cut their
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: electricity use. And this is in the big wind power
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: state South Australia.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: So how's that working?
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: Out, you know, But it's the same story around the country.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: Joining me is Dynamics super salesman JP Drake, head of
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: the country's bigger this independent grocery retailers Drake Drake's is
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: big in South Australia, big in Queensland.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Jp.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Thank you for your time, Electricity pricess. How bad is
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: this problem for your business?
• 30:11
  Speaker 15: Well? The well, have we paid the power bill?
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: So sorry?
• 30:17
  Speaker 15: So bad? Well, I mean the numbers speak for themselves,
• 30:21
  Speaker 15: don't they.
• 30:21
  Speaker 13: A family business like us, a sixty percent increase in
• 30:26
  Speaker 13: electricity on last year, you would say that is outrageous
• 30:30
  Speaker 13: in any business, and for us, that's a four million
• 30:33
  Speaker 13: dollars literally off the bottom line.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: It's incredible. Some of it, of course, consumes they have
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: to pay. Who do you blame for this?
• 30:43
  Speaker 13: Well, I think this is the whole problem here, Andrew.
• 30:46
  Speaker 13: People pointing fingers, blaming everyone. The reality of this all
• 30:50
  Speaker 13: is that the governments need to work together and get
• 30:55
  Speaker 13: on board, be on the same page and try and
• 30:57
  Speaker 13: work our way through this. And the the problem is
• 31:00
  Speaker 13: everyone does point blame at everyone else. Yeah, the problem
• 31:04
  Speaker 13: is right now. And this problem probably started around nineteen
• 31:07
  Speaker 13: ninety nine when we got rid of all and made
• 31:10
  Speaker 13: it all privatized. But now we're in this situation, you know,
• 31:13
  Speaker 13: the rush to be green. All of a sudden, everyone
• 31:16
  Speaker 13: wants to be so green in such a hurry that
• 31:18
  Speaker 13: forgot about the people that are actually paying these bills.
• 31:21
  Speaker 13: And that's who it's affecting most. The punters of Australia's
• 31:24
  Speaker 13: who it's affecting most.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: It's just incredible.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, if you were promising that tomatoes
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: will be you know, three dollars a kilo and you're
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: selling them for ten, you'd probably be up before some
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: sort of board trying to explain why you weren't a fraud.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: Here's the government promising green pal will be cheaper power,
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: and you've just got a four billion dollar whack in
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: your bills.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, how does that work?
• 31:50
  Speaker 6: Well?
• 31:50
  Speaker 13: It is interesting and I think I like to use
• 31:52
  Speaker 13: this analogy. People don't really care if drakes make four
• 31:56
  Speaker 13: million dollars less, But what does matter is the fact
• 32:00
  Speaker 13: that these headwinds are affecting every single person. They're affecting
• 32:04
  Speaker 13: our suppliers, they're affecting our growers. And we talk about
• 32:08
  Speaker 13: the headwinds, we're seeing every single person in Australia is
• 32:13
  Speaker 13: getting these headwinds and we are in the same boat,
• 32:17
  Speaker 13: so I can assure you. Unfortunately, suppliers are not sending
• 32:21
  Speaker 13: decreases in pricing coming through.
• 32:24
  Speaker 15: In fact, the more price increases we are seeing.
• 32:27
  Speaker 13: And we deal with a pretty unfair duopoly in this
• 32:32
  Speaker 13: planet and this in Australia and for us, increasing prices
• 32:37
  Speaker 13: is just.
• 32:37
  Speaker 15: Not an option.
• 32:38
  Speaker 13: So we've chosen as a family business to absorb those
• 32:42
  Speaker 13: prices and try and do what we can to give
• 32:45
  Speaker 13: back because at the end of the day, we cannot
• 32:50
  Speaker 13: force our suppliers. We can't force our farmers to decrease
• 32:54
  Speaker 13: their pricing so they have a lesser life of living,
• 32:58
  Speaker 13: and we will not force our farmers, growers and our
• 33:01
  Speaker 13: supplies to do this.
• 33:02
  Speaker 15: We just got to be do what's right, do what's fair.
• 33:05
  Speaker 15: That's what we want to do. I mean, for us,
• 33:06
  Speaker 15: it's a four million, four million costs of the bottom
• 33:09
  Speaker 15: line that we'll wear.
• 33:10
  Speaker 13: And I know this affects more of the punters of Australia,
• 33:13
  Speaker 13: the people of Australia.
• 33:15
  Speaker 15: Where we've got our politicians that are meant to be
• 33:18
  Speaker 15: doing the best for us, yet I'm not exactly seeing that.
• 33:22
  Speaker 13: And these electricity prices have got out of control, as
• 33:27
  Speaker 13: everyone has mentioned on the show already tonight.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: But of course you know that is four million dollars
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: that you don't have them to invest in growing your business.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: You don't have to create more jobs to pay more wages,
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: so that hurts the economy. Other companies, of course, they
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: have to pass on or they do pass on, which
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: means you have got people that are not only paying
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: their own higher power prices at home, they have to
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: copy it in the prices they pay for almost everything
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: they buy. So JP when you actually see the growth
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: figures today, so weak, so weak, and that's in part
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: because of interest rates trying to knock down inflation. I
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: guess you weren't surprised in the slightest.
• 34:15
  Speaker 15: Well, this is no surprises at all to us.
• 34:17
  Speaker 13: And we're seeing customers changing their shopping habits, so they
• 34:21
  Speaker 13: are trying different things, so they are trying to get
• 34:24
  Speaker 13: more value in that basket, which we're definitely seeing, and
• 34:28
  Speaker 13: that does mean buying more specials, being more price conscious
• 34:31
  Speaker 13: of the products that are coming up. On promotion, we're
• 34:34
  Speaker 13: seeing an increase in sales promotion in across our business.
• 34:38
  Speaker 13: We're seeing customers lean towards the private label, the control
• 34:44
  Speaker 13: brands that we have out there. We're seeing those grow
• 34:47
  Speaker 13: as well because everyone is trying to get some value
• 34:51
  Speaker 13: for money. And we've been fortunate in the supermarket world
• 34:55
  Speaker 13: because unfortunately there's been cafes and restaurants and clubs where
• 35:00
  Speaker 13: people are not eating out as much.
• 35:01
  Speaker 15: They're choosing to eat at home. And we need to.
• 35:04
  Speaker 13: Make sure that we are providing the best value that
• 35:07
  Speaker 13: we can because this is affecting every single person in Australia.
• 35:12
  Speaker 13: And they had a little bit of a dig at
• 35:13
  Speaker 13: South Australia, the winging capital. But the reality is this
• 35:18
  Speaker 13: problem happened a long time ago and we're trying to
• 35:22
  Speaker 13: fix it now.
• 35:23
  Speaker 15: We can't keep throwing money out of it.
• 35:25
  Speaker 13: And I hate to say it, Andrew, I think the
• 35:27
  Speaker 13: horse may have bolted on this one and we need
• 35:31
  Speaker 13: some real smart thinking to move forward.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: You didn't hate saying that at all, JP Drake, thank
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: you so much indeed for your time. Really appreciate it.
• 35:41
  Speaker 14: Good, Thank you very much.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: After the break environment, mister Tani, you pliv Secret's just
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: cripple the gold mine with the secret aboriginal business. Now
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: she's coming after cats, you know, no wonder we're getting
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: poorer when the other news the government now effectively bans
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: even one billion dollar gold mine because a few people
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: identifying as average will say, oh, secret Aboriginal business over there,
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: even though the traditional owners say no, there's not well
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: good news. The Nationals leader David Diddl Proud went to
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: the site today it's the Orange, and he said that
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: if the Coalition wins the next election, it will say
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: yes to this mine.
• 36:23
  Speaker 13: We will approve this mine as soon as we're elected,
• 36:25
  Speaker 13: because all the approvals have been granted.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: But by then Tanya Plibasik will have gone for your cat.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: There's reports that she's considering a cap in the number
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: of cats you are allowed to own, and she might
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: even have announced that today there was reports she might. Instead,
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: she merely declared a war on cats feral cats, but
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: said her full cat policy was still coming. In the meantime,
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: she's going to spend more than sixty million dollars on
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: fifty five products to get rid of the feral cats
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: that she says a killer around seven million native animals
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: a day, if you can believe that. Joining me Garth
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: Hamilton for the Liberal MP and Damion Courry a corporate
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: communications consultant, former Avacy employee, among many other things, and
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: hosts of his own video podcast, The Other Side Garf.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: First of all, how did a gold mine suddenly become
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: such an election issue? Or perhaps maybe I should ask
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: you the real question, you know, why isn't Tenia plus
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: quickly finding a reverse gear and getting out of this,
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: reversing this dumb decision that's causing the government so much pain.
• 37:40
  Speaker 12: It's a great question, Andrew, because we've already seen them
• 37:43
  Speaker 12: backflip just this week on that ridiculous situation they found
• 37:46
  Speaker 12: them in with the census. They decided they're going to
• 37:48
  Speaker 12: do one thing and then had to quickly backflip on
• 37:50
  Speaker 12: the other. The smart thing right now would be to
• 37:53
  Speaker 12: reverse and to acknowledge that the view of the most
• 37:56
  Speaker 12: Australians is we should be getting this gold mine up
• 37:58
  Speaker 12: and running.
• 37:59
  Speaker 14: That would be the very smart thing to do.
• 38:00
  Speaker 12: And it's great to see David Little proud to make
• 38:03
  Speaker 12: that commitment for a future Liberal National Party. But look,
• 38:07
  Speaker 12: I've got to ask the question here, Andrew. Everyone has
• 38:10
  Speaker 12: told us that Tanua plipposec is the big threat mister
• 38:13
  Speaker 12: Albanyzie's leadership within the Labor Party. It's possible we've overestimated that.
• 38:19
  Speaker 12: Oh look, you're coming up with the cat policy at
• 38:22
  Speaker 12: this point, goodness me. I mean, isn't that what everybody's
• 38:25
  Speaker 12: been talking about. I don't know, for the last two years,
• 38:27
  Speaker 12: people have been coming to me saying, Garth.
• 38:29
  Speaker 14: What are you doing about cats? Can you solve the
• 38:31
  Speaker 14: cat problem? Guard?
• 38:33
  Speaker 12: I mean they spent eighteen months talking about the voice
• 38:37
  Speaker 12: and then they've had a brief sojourn into everything's being
• 38:40
  Speaker 12: about cost of living when they realized they're behind Now Andrew,
• 38:42
  Speaker 12: they're back onto the main thing that's the big concern
• 38:45
  Speaker 12: for Australian people, and it's cat's goodness, mate.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: Now, I wondered Damien about that.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: I wonder if the heat that tenure Plippcik has been
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: getting on this ridiculous minds decision explains why we're still
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: actually waiting to hear what she'll do to household cats. Now,
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: this has been something threatened for quite a while now.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: I guess the government couldn't afford to have her now
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: right at this moment, not just get tough in a
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: gold mine, but get tough on moggies as well.
• 39:18
  Speaker 16: Yeah, well, I mean, you know, she's tough on the God.
• 39:20
  Speaker 16: Maybe she's worried that there's too many cats and the
• 39:22
  Speaker 16: tailings dam or something like that. But this stuff is
• 39:25
  Speaker 16: just it's clown world.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: It's insane.
• 39:28
  Speaker 16: We are in the sixth consecutive quarter of negative economic growth.
• 39:33
  Speaker 16: If you look at GDP per capita, we are in
• 39:35
  Speaker 16: an entrenched recession in this country. It's a crisis. And
• 39:39
  Speaker 16: these guys are worried about cats. I mean, okay, there's
• 39:42
  Speaker 16: too many feral cats. That's great, you look after that.
• 39:44
  Speaker 16: But she needs to reverse that mind decision andrew as
• 39:47
  Speaker 16: fast as she possibly can, because we need to send
• 39:49
  Speaker 16: a loud and clear signal to business within Australia and
• 39:53
  Speaker 16: overseas that this is a country that's safe to invest
• 39:56
  Speaker 16: in and good to invest in.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: I think it's absolutely true.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: Or maybe she just heard the trouble that Donald Trump's
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: running mate j d Vance got in in the election
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: over there talking about mocking childless cat ladies. Maybe a
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: second thought, WHOA, you know, she does want to get
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: on the wrong side of those people.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: Queen's sam baiting.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: Little brown Queens Garth.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: I don't know how how often you've met this premiere
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: of yours up there as Stephen Miles, now in trouble
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: for taking an eleven minute jet ride. He said the
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: jet was actually hard for the day anyway. But have
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: to say he had the look of a beaten man,
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: you know, this man that they used to call Giggles.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: He hired this plane to go only for what a trip.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: That's the same cartrip that would cost an arena and
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: twenty minutes. He said the plane was hard for the
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: day anyway, the costs would have only been incrementally more.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: What do you make of it?
• 41:09
  Speaker 12: Well, look, Andrew, if you'd seen the state of the
• 41:10
  Speaker 12: roads that the Labor government has left here in Queensland,
• 41:13
  Speaker 12: maybe traveling by plane isn't such a bad idea. I
• 41:17
  Speaker 12: remember a time when Sajobiakipedes used to travel this great
• 41:21
  Speaker 12: big state by a plane, looking out across everything, observing
• 41:25
  Speaker 12: the growth in our economy.
• 41:27
  Speaker 14: And I'm sure there's a time for it.
• 41:29
  Speaker 12: But honestly, in the cost of living crisis, when people
• 41:32
  Speaker 12: are hurting, when the government that he's been a part
• 41:35
  Speaker 12: of for three terms now has caused significant damage to
• 41:39
  Speaker 12: our economy, making things much much worse, he's taking an
• 41:43
  Speaker 12: eleven minute plane ride.
• 41:45
  Speaker 14: To what shoot a video or something.
• 41:47
  Speaker 12: Look, he's out of touch and I think it's really
• 41:50
  Speaker 12: really becoming more and more clear they have no alternate
• 41:53
  Speaker 12: vision for Queensland. And I think they've been running on
• 41:57
  Speaker 12: autopilot for quite some time now.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: Look, Damien, I've got some a little bit of sympathy.
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: If he did harrw the jet right to go up
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: to the north and then it wouldn't have cost much
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: extra to zip over to another town.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: And oh, I don't know.
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: But then one of the events he did was to
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: hand a birthday cake to an MP that to be
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: seeing this week anyway in Brisbane. Of all the things
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: the publicized that you needed the jet for tin Ear
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: tin Ear mate.
• 42:38
  Speaker 16: Yeah, absolutely, And I think you know, I mean, if
• 42:40
  Speaker 16: it's one leg of a round trip, as he said,
• 42:42
  Speaker 16: that's fine.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: Who cares.
• 42:43
  Speaker 16: Look, frankly, I don't care if they're flying on Lear jets.
• 42:46
  Speaker 16: He's the Premier of Queensland.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: It's a big state.
• 42:48
  Speaker 16: What I want to see is somebody in that role
• 42:51
  Speaker 16: that cares about growing the state, that cares about business
• 42:54
  Speaker 16: where in massive debt, crime.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: Is a big concern.
• 42:58
  Speaker 16: We've got energy prices, housing, every everything, and they're worried about,
• 43:02
  Speaker 16: you know, or they want to spend money on flying
• 43:05
  Speaker 16: around an aeroplane like that. I think the opposition where
• 43:09
  Speaker 16: this story originated from. But if it came from the opposition,
• 43:12
  Speaker 16: I would hope that they get onto some more serious
• 43:14
  Speaker 16: issues as the election moves forward.
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: But I do have a.
• 43:18
  Speaker 16: Little bit of sympathy. If you are the premiere of
• 43:19
  Speaker 16: a state, you haven't got to get around. It is
• 43:21
  Speaker 16: a big state. Frankly, it's a non issue to me.
• 43:23
  Speaker 16: I just think it's crazy that we're even bothering to
• 43:25
  Speaker 16: worry about it. We've got all these other big problems.
• 43:27
  Speaker 16: Let's focus on that stuff and get things fixed.
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's probably the thing that costs me more votes.
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: That's how politics works, I guess Garth. Last weekend hamas
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: Terras executed six Jewish hostages that it held for eleven months.
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: Two of them were women forcible to take farewells.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: And they shot them in the head.
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: But students that Monish university, which is actually named after
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: a great Jewish general, still refuse to stand for a
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: moment's silence for these Jews.
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: Haven't looked out of respect for and please stand for
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: Carmel Gut and Enira, Charlmi, Persh, Godberg, Pollard, Alexander Lobanov,
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: al Mont Sarusi, Aridno, as well as the one hundred
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: and one another hostage for remain in Gaza made the
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: memories of those who've been murdered be a blessing.
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: Garth. That freaks me out. What do you make of it?
• 44:33
  Speaker 14: I'm terribly saddened by this side. Wasn't that long ago.
• 44:37
  Speaker 12: I went over to Israel myself, saw the forty seven
• 44:40
  Speaker 12: minutes footage of what happened on that day. I went
• 44:44
  Speaker 12: out to the scene of the Nova Music festival. I
• 44:48
  Speaker 12: heard from people who had been there. The idea Andrew
• 44:53
  Speaker 12: that this has become a political issue, but the Left
• 44:56
  Speaker 12: have owned taking a side in something like the is
• 45:01
  Speaker 12: absolutely disgraceful. It's absolutely disgraceful. There is no place for it.
• 45:05
  Speaker 12: The idea that we're going to turn our back on
• 45:07
  Speaker 12: our support for a Western democratic nation, the only Western
• 45:11
  Speaker 12: democratic nation in that region, and compare them in some
• 45:15
  Speaker 12: way to a region that's run by a listed terrorist
• 45:18
  Speaker 12: organization that committed some of the most atrocious acts. Mon't
• 45:24
  Speaker 12: repeat them, they're terribly troubling, but that this could be
• 45:27
  Speaker 12: the point of which the left side sides on it.
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: I've got that, you know about the support of Israel, whatsoe.
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: But Damien, we're talking about human beings. We're talking about
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: human beings, and the refusal step it up strikes me
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: as the kind of tribal thinking that's a mark of
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: the left, that people don't have an individual individuality to them.
• 45:51
  Speaker 16: Well, they don't, and they don't have a very good
• 45:52
  Speaker 16: intellect either. Clearly, it's inhumane, it's sick. It's grotesque. How
• 45:56
  Speaker 16: anyone could hold such firm and clear, you know, solid
• 46:01
  Speaker 16: views on such a complex war as this one is
• 46:05
  Speaker 16: extraordinary to me. And to not show some common humanity.
• 46:09
  Speaker 16: How can you not feel for the families of those
• 46:12
  Speaker 16: and victims, and how sad and sick that they were
• 46:15
  Speaker 16: nearly released. I mean, they've been in captivity for nearly
• 46:17
  Speaker 16: a year, suffering, God knows what, They're about to be
• 46:21
  Speaker 16: released and you know, just possibly an hour rescued and
• 46:24
  Speaker 16: they're murdered at the very last minute. I mean, it is,
• 46:27
  Speaker 16: it is revolving. So, I mean, you think about all
• 46:29
  Speaker 16: the dollars and money and good loyal, pitiless that we've
• 46:32
  Speaker 16: given it, just it disturbs me.
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: Damien, Courry, I think the Palace Hampton. Thank you very
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: much for you both. What a pitytween and let low note.
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: But I want to explain myself before hand. Over a
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: Monday night, I heard Pitty Criblin talk about how we've
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: gone from saying Abiginal people, saying first peoples, now saying
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: first nations.
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: We use indigenous astrands.
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: Even she missed one where a guarded Aborigines. Now for
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: years now, I've been getting abuse for sticking to the
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: old name Aborigines, the most accurate one for the people
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: who lived here before English settlement. You get activists now
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: claiming it's a racist word, even international or Aborigine is
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: generally perceived as insensitive because of racist connotations in Australia's
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: colonial past. Well, I'm telling you why I keep using
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: because that's nonsense. The word Aborigines is in fact hated
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: most by people trying to blindness to a scandal.
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: How up to two.
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: Hundred thousand, maybe even three hundred thousand whites are claiming
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: to be Aborigines themselves, as I discussed the other night
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: with Average leader Nathan Moran. In fact, the word Aborigines
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: has a proud history. It was adopted by even radical
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: Aboriginal leaders like Gary Foley, and I think they should
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: reclaim it again because here is why. If you say, oh, indigenous, well.
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: That's too vague.
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: Anyone born here is indigenous. In my view, I'm indigenous,
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: and around the world they are Indigenous people and First nations.
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: That's a lies borrow from Canada. Aboriginal tribes were nations.
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: And saying aboriginal instead of Aborigines, that's ungrammatical. Of course,
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: Aboriginal is an adjective, it's not a noun. But it's
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: also a fudge to call someone aboriginal. These days, they say, well,
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: there's something aboriginal like about them, right, Aboriginal like that reminds.
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: You of aborigin.
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: It's about being the real deal themselves. But Aborigines, that's
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: in your face. It means that, damn we'll have to
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: be Aborigines to get the word. And that's why there's
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: so many people are shocked because they're not. They're a
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: limited connection to aboriginality. So I'm going to keep well,
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: still called it aboriginy, try stopping me.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: That's it from me.
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: Coming up next, James Viferson hosting Sharry GOODNIGHTE
