- 0:09Speaker 1: Jesus.
- 0:10Speaker 2: He's the report tonight the latest poll it says no
- 0:17Speaker 2: support for paul In Hansen is actually still rising. Plus
- 0:21Speaker 2: this question why was Hanson mob last night by Japanese fans?
- 0:26Speaker 2: I was there an the Victorian premiere on the run
- 0:29Speaker 2: today after new allegations of corruption on her projects and
- 0:32Speaker 2: the Bureau of Meteorology, Why trust is global warming forecasts
- 0:36Speaker 2: after this reign that it told us wouldn't happen. But
- 0:40Speaker 2: first all the politicians and the journalists and the activists
- 0:44Speaker 2: telling the government to stop this great title wave for
- 0:47Speaker 2: due hatred. It's sort of missing the main point, isn't it.
- 0:53Speaker 2: I mean that said, it's absolutely true. Something ghastly is
- 0:56Speaker 2: happening here. I mean every day this week seen reports
- 1:00Speaker 2: from Jews to the Royal Commission Anti Anti Semitism that
- 1:04Speaker 2: was called after the Bondo massacre of Jews. I mean
- 1:07Speaker 2: terrible stories they're telling, like this from Stephen Lowe of
- 1:10Speaker 2: the prominent Jewish family about the threats and abuse his
- 1:14Speaker 2: family alone still gets.
- 1:16Speaker 3: In the last year alone, Commissioner, there has been more
- 1:20Speaker 3: than fifteen thousand very unpleasant attacks on online. Amongst those
- 1:31Speaker 3: fifteen thousand, two hundred persons of interest have been followed
- 1:36Speaker 3: very clearly, and a subset of those have been referred
- 1:39Speaker 3: to the police and intelligence.
- 1:43Speaker 2: Yet even now, even while this Royal Commission is hearing
- 1:47Speaker 2: this kind of evidence day after day, you look us
- 1:50Speaker 2: about to tour Australia to our biggest five capital cities.
- 1:55Speaker 2: The Egyptian American comedian Basim Yosef used to be a
- 2:00Speaker 2: heart surgeon, would you believe? Which shows that even the
- 2:04Speaker 2: most highly educated people could be the most stupid and
- 2:08Speaker 2: especially dangerous. Now the Executive Council of the Stranger is
- 2:13Speaker 2: asking the Abanizi government to shut the door to this blow,
- 2:15Speaker 2: asking the government again you know, and here I'm caught
- 2:20Speaker 2: because all my life I have fought for free speech.
- 2:23Speaker 2: Let the strong debate sort this out, public debate, no laws,
- 2:28Speaker 2: except I think Australia has now become so sick and weak,
- 2:34Speaker 2: so morally corrupted, that we do seem unable now to
- 2:40Speaker 2: resist the poison of the Basim Yusefs of this world.
- 2:44Speaker 2: And if Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke does ban Yusef,
- 2:49Speaker 2: I admit, send me ask the emails. You'll get no
- 2:52Speaker 2: fight from me. Now. People will say you this Basim Yusef,
- 2:57Speaker 2: that he's just a comedian, you know, which means that
- 2:59Speaker 2: it's things get too hot in the kitchen. You can
- 3:01Speaker 2: just use the OHNs just joking card. But in January
- 3:06Speaker 2: you have appeared on the podcast of Candice Owns with
- 3:09Speaker 2: her millions and millions of followers, and that alone should
- 3:14Speaker 2: warn us this is serious, given her hatred of Jews,
- 3:17Speaker 2: at least the Israeli ones like, oh.
- 3:20Speaker 4: My gosh, like we have to make sure about a
- 3:21Speaker 4: Holocaust that were happened, we have a support Israel.
- 3:23Speaker 2: Nope.
- 3:24Speaker 4: Now we are reading the books, we're learning about how
- 3:26Speaker 4: you've executed this. You've blind full of the entire world
- 3:29Speaker 4: to what you are and what I think you might
- 3:32Speaker 4: be is possessed by a real demon. I'm Catholic, I
- 3:36Speaker 4: believe in demons and Natan Yahoo's very clearly a demon,
- 3:40Speaker 4: and you've always been killing Christians.
- 3:42Speaker 5: So what are you going to do?
- 3:43Speaker 6: Now? Kill us all?
- 3:47Speaker 2: For many things like that, Owens has been named the
- 3:49Speaker 2: Anti Semite of the Year, which you have said made
- 3:53Speaker 2: him jealous, and yes, jealous.
- 3:57Speaker 7: I'm just jealous.
- 3:58Speaker 6: Yeah, you're jealous.
- 3:59Speaker 7: I'm bring my jealous to the show. I'm bringing my
- 4:01Speaker 7: jealousy to Nashville. And I'm just very upset that I
- 4:04Speaker 7: didn't win and.
- 4:06Speaker 2: Us off then seeing to try his best become the
- 4:08Speaker 2: next anti semi out of the year.
- 4:10Speaker 7: For instance, Israel doesn't just lie to hide the truth.
- 4:15Speaker 7: They lie recreationally. They just do because it's fun for them.
- 4:20Speaker 2: And he listed what he claimed were examples of what
- 4:23Speaker 2: he falsely claimed was Raeli false flag operations. You know,
- 4:28Speaker 2: secret Israeli missions to kill their own, to kill Jews
- 4:32Speaker 2: and then blame someone else and play the victim. Said
- 4:36Speaker 2: old Jewish conspiracy trope.
- 4:38Speaker 7: When they created the state of Israel, they didn't know
- 4:42Speaker 7: how to bring all of these Jewish people from the
- 4:44Speaker 7: Arab countries. So nineteen fifty one, ninety fifty, nineteen fifty,
- 4:48Speaker 7: nineteen fifty one, Israel sends a Mossad agent and then
- 4:53Speaker 7: he leads four to five different bomb attacks on Jewish
- 4:59Speaker 7: synagogue and Jewish communities. They killed their own people.
- 5:05Speaker 2: Completely false. And here's another false Jewish conspiracy he peddled.
- 5:11Speaker 7: In nineteen ninety four, the bombing of the Israeli embassy
- 5:13Speaker 7: in London. It was done by Mozade and then they nailed,
- 5:17Speaker 7: they kind of nailed to Palestinians for it.
- 5:21Speaker 2: No it's not just a joking Anywhere's other supposed Jewish
- 5:25Speaker 2: conspiracies on this podcast and others that has been on
- 5:31Speaker 2: like only nine to eleven attacks hmmm. And Israel supposedly
- 5:35Speaker 2: using sexual blackmail against Bill Clinton and Mossad being behind
- 5:40Speaker 2: the Epstein scandal. Australia also got to.
- 5:44Speaker 7: Mention, and of course we have the bon Dai, the
- 5:47Speaker 7: Bondai attack. I think I gave pictures to one of
- 5:50Speaker 7: your producers, like Arson Ostrowsky, who's like one of those
- 5:54Speaker 7: trolls on Twitter. He happened to be October seventh as
- 5:56Speaker 7: urvive October seventh, and then he posted his picture as
- 5:59Speaker 7: selfie while he's on the floor and he has blood
- 6:02Speaker 7: all over him. Yet that's the picture, okay, which is obvious.
- 6:05Speaker 2: Looks fait.
- 6:05Speaker 7: How can you believe a country that lies twenty four
- 6:08Speaker 7: to seven like.
- 6:09Speaker 2: This a lie? In fact, Arson of Strotsky was treated
- 6:15Speaker 2: in hospital for his head wound and told the Royal
- 6:18Speaker 2: Commission this week he was also drowned in online abuse
- 6:21Speaker 2: and threats from Jew haters even while being treated. Use
- 6:28Speaker 2: OF's jew obsession is as sick as his ignorance. No
- 6:33Speaker 2: falsely claiming the Romans didn't kill Christ. The Jews did it,
- 6:37Speaker 2: of course, like claiming the Jews were persecuted because they
- 6:41Speaker 2: were anti Christians, when in fact the persecution dates at
- 6:44Speaker 2: least from the Babylonian exile, only six hundred years before Christ,
- 6:48Speaker 2: and goes through Roman times and in Muslim lands. Never
- 6:54Speaker 2: mind those facts, though.
- 6:58Speaker 7: The persecution of the Jewish people have started since the
- 7:01Speaker 7: eighth and ninth century because they were like they were
- 7:04Speaker 7: first anti Christians. It all started from Christ. They kill Christ,
- 7:08Speaker 7: they kill Christ, they guil Christ.
- 7:11Speaker 2: In a normal society, such a brain dead lunatic would
- 7:15Speaker 2: be treated like a leper. But this stuff is now
- 7:18Speaker 2: becoming almost routine in some of America's biggest podcasts, like
- 7:24Speaker 2: that of Taka Carlson until recently a friend of the President.
- 7:30Speaker 5: In the Middle East and in the entire rest of
- 7:32Speaker 5: the world, really, which is watching us? Watching Israel destroy
- 7:35Speaker 5: Lebanon for reasons that are not clear at all. Murder
- 7:38Speaker 5: Christians wholesale in Lebanon, destroyed Christian villages, Bombay Route, not
- 7:44Speaker 5: a traditional hesballast wronghold.
- 7:47Speaker 2: Not a week goes by when I don't congratulate myself
- 7:49Speaker 2: in having a small part. I think in his sacking
- 7:52Speaker 2: from Fox News. Now the due obsession on Carlson's show,
- 7:56Speaker 2: watched by millions, is sick. Here's a count of the
- 8:02Speaker 2: mentions of Jews with one and GISTs just last week.
- 8:07Speaker 2: Let's start at thirty eight mentions, just to save some
- 8:10Speaker 2: time and see how high the title gets. You have
- 8:13Speaker 2: a guess.
- 8:15Speaker 8: The Jews killed Jesus.
- 8:16Speaker 2: We know that.
- 8:17Speaker 8: Blame Jews for the death of Jesus. The Jews, the Jews,
- 8:22Speaker 8: the Jews, Jewish people than the Jewish people for the
- 8:25Speaker 8: Jewish people, Jews, Jewish, the Jewish people, Jewis, Jews, the Jews, Jews,
- 8:28Speaker 8: the Jews, paper hump the Jews, Jews, Jewish, Jewish, Jewish, Jewish, Jewish, Jews, Jewish,
- 8:32Speaker 8: and so the Jews, Jewish, jew Jewish, Jews, jew jew Jews,
- 8:35Speaker 8: Jewish people, jew Jusu' Jewish, Jewsh, Jews, Jeish, Jews, Jewish,
- 8:38Speaker 8: Jewish Jews. But the Jewish people, the jew Jewish, jew Jewish, Jews, Jews, Jews,
- 8:41Speaker 8: the jew Jewish, Jewish, the Jewish people, Jewish people, Jewish, Jewish,
- 8:44Speaker 8: the Jews, jew the Jewish, Jews, Jews, Jewish, the Jewish people,
- 8:47Speaker 8: the Jews. Because what Jews want you know the Jewish
- 8:50Speaker 8: talking points that you see on the television and the
- 8:52Speaker 8: news constantly.
- 8:55Speaker 5: Tredy Hall, thank you for that.
- 9:00Speaker 2: And now in Australia, Australians, no doubt, many of them
- 9:05Speaker 2: fans of Candice Owns and that Tucker Carlson. They want
- 9:09Speaker 2: to buy tickets to see Basim Yusef. Theaters around the
- 9:12Speaker 2: country are booked, like Sidney's Enmore Theater and the exhibition
- 9:15Speaker 2: centers of Perth and Melbourne, which seem only too happy
- 9:20Speaker 2: to turn a dirty dollar. And that is our real problem,
- 9:27Speaker 2: demanding the government act on anti Semitism, which I've just done.
- 9:31Speaker 2: You banned this creep while so many people here want
- 9:36Speaker 2: to turn buck with this kind of important hater. I
- 9:40Speaker 2: checked out the promoter of this Yusef and saw him,
- 9:43Speaker 2: Sebastian Boum, boasting about his big yacht in the Sydney
- 9:48Speaker 2: to Hobart Race. And I asked this guy, Sebastian, how
- 9:54Speaker 2: many Morened yachts do you really need before you stop
- 9:58Speaker 2: selling us such when you start pulling your weight. Now,
- 10:08Speaker 2: this is debait that Pauling Hands has started, and it's
- 10:11Speaker 2: now been mocked for no to multiculturalism, she said, Ho
- 10:15Speaker 2: ho ho go our elite a note with interest that
- 10:19Speaker 2: multiculturalism and mass immigration was at work in the Netherlands overnight. Yes,
- 10:26Speaker 2: after the national team was beaten by Morocco in a
- 10:29Speaker 2: penalty shootout of the World Cup. Well, there were riots
- 10:34Speaker 2: in Holland at the result, but not actually from angry Dutchmen,
- 10:40Speaker 2: not Dutchmen that you would recognize in the street. No,
- 10:43Speaker 2: the Netherlands is now the home of four hundred and
- 10:46Speaker 2: forty thousand people of Moroccan descent, and many there celebrated
- 10:51Speaker 2: their true homelands win by blocking traffic, some by chasing police,
- 10:57Speaker 2: attacking police, pelting them with bottles in riots that block
- 11:01Speaker 2: streets and led to seventeen arrests. In fact, so weak
- 11:06Speaker 2: is loyalty to the Netherlands that three players in the
- 11:09Speaker 2: Moroccan team were actually born in Holland, one still lives there.
- 11:15Speaker 2: Yet their loyalty obviously is the Morocco. But sure, let's
- 11:20Speaker 2: pretend that Hanson is a goose so racist the even
- 11:23Speaker 2: that she's insulted foreigners or people of non Anglo descent
- 11:28Speaker 2: like me and ignores you know, they ignore the example
- 11:33Speaker 2: she gives of other countries who might actually learn.
- 11:36Speaker 9: From Japan has a monoculture, so what's wrong with the
- 11:41Speaker 9: stone have a moment culture.
- 11:44Speaker 2: But the funny thing about that Hanson last night actually
- 11:47Speaker 2: was at Parliament House. She was there for a celebration
- 11:50Speaker 2: of the Nara Treaty with Japan, signed fifty years ago,
- 11:54Speaker 2: the cornerstone of this amity that we have. She was
- 11:58Speaker 2: there and I don't think the albany Is was not,
- 12:00Speaker 2: and she was mobbed by Japanese guests wanting a picture
- 12:05Speaker 2: were her. It seems that some there at least get her,
- 12:08Speaker 2: even if most of our media, most of our politicians
- 12:11Speaker 2: refused to joining me with someone else who was at
- 12:14Speaker 2: that dinner last night with the Foreign minister as well.
- 12:16Speaker 2: She was there and the Japanese ambassador is Mike Newman, commentator,
- 12:21Speaker 2: corporate advisor and former New South Wales Senior Trade advisor
- 12:24Speaker 2: to Japan and careas lived in Japan for years. Mike,
- 12:29Speaker 2: great to see you again. What happened last night?
- 12:32Speaker 1: Thanks Andrew. Well, as you mentioned in your comments there,
- 12:37Speaker 1: this was the fiftieth anniversary between Japan and Australia the
- 12:41Speaker 1: signing of the Nara Treaty. Now, what is interesting is
- 12:43Speaker 1: that if we just look at Japan standalone in oil
- 12:46Speaker 1: and gas. That country over the last fifty years has
- 12:50Speaker 1: imported one point five trillion dollars worth of those materials.
- 12:56Speaker 1: So absolutely serious customers, guests all there to celebrate, but
- 13:03Speaker 1: sadly our prime minister, who I understand happened to be
- 13:07Speaker 1: in camera, did not attend. And to me, that's not
- 13:10Speaker 1: a good look if you're spending one and a half
- 13:12Speaker 1: trillion dollars on my products. I would hope that we
- 13:16Speaker 1: would be able to see the head on show show
- 13:20Speaker 1: his face, even if it was for ten minutes. He
- 13:22Speaker 1: did a pre record with a speech that timu Ai
- 13:26Speaker 1: would probably reject.
- 13:32Speaker 2: Now Hanson was there, though, what happened when she rocked
- 13:36Speaker 2: into the room.
- 13:37Speaker 1: Well, I happened to be at her table and for
- 13:41Speaker 1: three hours. I don't think she got to sit down,
- 13:44Speaker 1: I would imagine, because I ended up being sort of
- 13:46Speaker 1: like an unofficial photographer. There were probably one hundred, one
- 13:50Speaker 1: hundred and fifty people who were wanting to have a
- 13:52Speaker 1: photo during the evening, all of them beaming, smiling, and
- 13:56Speaker 1: a common comment that came from the Japanese to say
- 13:59Speaker 1: that you know what you are so much like our
- 14:02Speaker 1: own Prime minister Sanai Takaichi and that was an overwhelming message.
- 14:10Speaker 2: Yeah, it was interesting. You say that. So she's getting mobbed,
- 14:14Speaker 2: you're taking the pictures. Pauline Hanson has said in a
- 14:18Speaker 2: speech No on TV. I think it was the other day.
- 14:22Speaker 2: Japan is a monoculture. What's wrong with that? What does
- 14:24Speaker 2: that monoculture? You've lived in Japan, what does that monoculture
- 14:27Speaker 2: look like?
- 14:28Speaker 1: Well, look, the monoculture is simply this assimilate. If you're
- 14:32Speaker 1: in Japan, we just want you to not upset the
- 14:35Speaker 1: local people, the local Japanese. We have absolutely no problem
- 14:39Speaker 1: for people celebrating their faith, you know, their culture or
- 14:43Speaker 1: their cuisine. And of course Japan has more Michelin Star
- 14:47Speaker 1: restaurants than pretty much any other country in the world
- 14:49Speaker 1: across a variety of food. But the thing here is
- 14:52Speaker 1: that ultimately Japan has zero tolerance when it comes to culture.
- 14:57Speaker 1: If you don't fit in, we do not want you here.
- 14:59Speaker 1: And it's not in any way, shape or form racist.
- 15:01Speaker 1: They just want to preserve a culture that is thousands
- 15:04Speaker 1: and thousands of years to make sure that those that
- 15:08Speaker 1: live there understand that and do not feel as though
- 15:11Speaker 1: the Japanese must automatically go out of their way to
- 15:14Speaker 1: make people who choose to come to Japan and have
- 15:16Speaker 1: the privilege of living there, that they have free reign
- 15:20Speaker 1: to sort of change things to suit them.
- 15:25Speaker 2: As an Australian who's lived in Japan, is that a
- 15:27Speaker 2: lesson for US Australians living in Australia.
- 15:31Speaker 1: Well, absolutely, Look, I think that. I mean I've lived
- 15:35Speaker 1: in Japan for twenty six years. Every time I come here,
- 15:38Speaker 1: I always think it's the oppression Olympics, that we must
- 15:41Speaker 1: somehow pacify some minority group. And it's not about not
- 15:44Speaker 1: having minorities live here, and there are a lot of
- 15:45Speaker 1: minor minorities have absolutely no problems with living in the
- 15:48Speaker 1: Australian way. And actually some of the comments of people
- 15:51Speaker 1: who had become citizens that were originally Japanese, they were
- 15:55Speaker 1: also so thankful that she has this monoculture approach because
- 15:59Speaker 1: they're proud to live in Australia and embrace the culture
- 16:03Speaker 1: that is Australia.
- 16:07Speaker 2: Now, Mike, you've sent out two little flags for me here.
- 16:12Speaker 2: One is he's sitting at Pauline Hanson's table and two
- 16:16Speaker 2: you're her semi official photographer. Have you got anything to
- 16:19Speaker 2: tell us about that?
- 16:21Speaker 1: Nothing really other than being there and absorbing what I witnessed.
- 16:26Speaker 1: Now she met with the chief executive officers of major banks,
- 16:32Speaker 1: trading houses, cole Gas.
- 16:36Speaker 2: All of these.
- 16:36Speaker 1: Companies were so keen to have a selfie with her
- 16:39Speaker 1: as well, which also I think that the clear message
- 16:42Speaker 1: here is that I did not see Jim Chalmers or
- 16:46Speaker 1: Penny Wong be mobbed for photographs. It was just Pauling Hanson.
- 16:49Speaker 1: It was incessant. But what I think the message here
- 16:52Speaker 1: is that I think, deep down I've read media reports
- 16:55Speaker 1: and somehow you know Pauline Hanson is going to struggle
- 16:58Speaker 1: engaging with Asia in nations for trade and things like that.
- 17:02Speaker 1: If last night was any sort of barometer of that,
- 17:06Speaker 1: I think that she is in an extremely positive position.
- 17:10Speaker 1: And you know, more power to her that the Japanese
- 17:13Speaker 1: see that she is authentic, because you know, one of
- 17:16Speaker 1: the key takeaways here is that you would think.
- 17:18Speaker 2: Why did she invite you? But why did she invite
- 17:21Speaker 2: you to a table? What was that about? Well, look, Andrews,
- 17:24Speaker 2: clearly she's wooing you.
- 17:26Speaker 1: Well, well, if that that ends up being okase, that's
- 17:29Speaker 1: a discussion for another time. But honestly, I was there.
- 17:31Speaker 1: I've been involved with Japan for over forty years. I'm
- 17:34Speaker 1: very close to that diaspora. So I was invited to
- 17:37Speaker 1: that and I, you know, and I was so glad
- 17:40Speaker 1: to be there and see so many of the businesses
- 17:42Speaker 1: I've dealt with for so long. But what I will
- 17:44Speaker 1: say is that, you know, if the Japanese are feeling very,
- 17:49Speaker 1: very comfortable with things like her gas policy and so on,
- 17:51Speaker 1: and they mentioned that offline to me, that they are
- 17:55Speaker 1: extremely keen. I would add one other point, Andrew, that
- 17:57Speaker 1: came out during the conversation. The Japanese raised concerns that
- 18:02Speaker 1: they understand that our ministers are able to have Chinese
- 18:07Speaker 1: electric vehicles provided by the government, and to them to
- 18:12Speaker 1: raise such a thing with unsolicited suggests to me that
- 18:17Speaker 1: deep down they are worried about the long term nature
- 18:20Speaker 1: of our relationship. Look, the fiftieth anniversary should have.
- 18:23Speaker 2: Been I don't doubt it, Mike. I don't doubt it.
- 18:26Speaker 2: I would have thought you are absolutely correct, Mike Newman.
- 18:31Speaker 2: I suspect that you've just given us a clue to
- 18:33Speaker 2: an announcement. You said you'll discuss something later. So I
- 18:38Speaker 2: urge viewers to keep tuned in for the latest news
- 18:41Speaker 2: from Mike Newman. Make thank you so much, indeed for
- 18:44Speaker 2: your time after they break the polls and one everl
- 18:47Speaker 2: front benure accidentally gives the opposition leader a deadline. One
- 18:57Speaker 2: of my clever viewers have pointed out, and I've checked,
- 19:00Speaker 2: that it's true that Muslims don't even think that Christ
- 19:06Speaker 2: was crucified by the Jews, so they're persecuting the Jews.
- 19:09Speaker 2: Is not for that. They think, you know, Allah intervened
- 19:12Speaker 2: and raised him to heaven before he could be killed,
- 19:16Speaker 2: so they've got no beef with the Jews on that front. Now,
- 19:20Speaker 2: one Nation, some people were al really saying that the
- 19:22Speaker 2: one nation surge was over, that Hanson had peaked when
- 19:27Speaker 2: two poles on Monday showed a dip in support to
- 19:30Speaker 2: just now the hind labor again. But today's Sky News
- 19:34Speaker 2: pole shows the opposite, So you know, you go figure
- 19:36Speaker 2: one nation's vote, according to our pole, went up two points,
- 19:39Speaker 2: Labour's three still just behind one nation, and the true
- 19:42Speaker 2: focus is on the disaster for the coalition another record
- 19:46Speaker 2: of just seventeen percent. Disaster is not the word catastrophic is.
- 19:51Speaker 2: But some are liberal front benches. They still seem to
- 19:54Speaker 2: be acting like the Black Knight in a Monty pythe
- 19:57Speaker 2: movie defending the Doomed Party and its leader Angus Taylor.
- 20:02Speaker 6: When Susan Lee was removed as leader.
- 20:04Speaker 9: Part of that was because of the polling that she
- 20:06Speaker 9: wasn't able to gain traction with Australians.
- 20:08Speaker 1: It's getting worse under you and Angus Taylor.
- 20:10Speaker 6: Son.
- 20:11Speaker 10: Angus has been in the job for what I think
- 20:13Speaker 10: it's about seventeen weeks.
- 20:14Speaker 6: How much we always else she had nine months now that.
- 20:19Speaker 2: Was Jane Hume, the deputy Liberal leader. But got to
- 20:22Speaker 2: say Susan Lee, the previous officer's leader, did get nine
- 20:25Speaker 2: months in the job, yes, before she was stump. But
- 20:27Speaker 2: Taylor has already had nearly five and has simply gone backwards.
- 20:32Speaker 2: And Jane Hume has again put a foot in it
- 20:34Speaker 2: by essentially giving Taylor that same deadline of nine months
- 20:37Speaker 2: that he gave Susan Lee. But to the political panel,
- 20:40Speaker 2: Michael Costs, the former New South Wales Labor treasure and
- 20:43Speaker 2: former Liberal Senator Holly Hughes. Now with one nation, Michael,
- 20:48Speaker 2: there are actually now three poles. There's another one come
- 20:52Speaker 2: out three poles showing the vote for one nation dipped.
- 20:55Speaker 2: Since Hans's press club speech, ours now saying it lifted.
- 21:00Speaker 2: But whatever every pol says, the coalition vote has never
- 21:03Speaker 2: been so low. Is there anything that can save the party?
- 21:07Speaker 11: Just hard work, Andrew, I think they've got no choice
- 21:11Speaker 11: but to stick with the current leader.
- 21:14Speaker 12: If they don't, I think the disaster is about to
- 21:17Speaker 12: come on. All of the center right parties will be
- 21:19Speaker 12: even worse.
- 21:20Speaker 6: Look.
- 21:21Speaker 11: I predict that if Victorian Labor wins, and you know,
- 21:25Speaker 11: who would have ever thought that they would win, But
- 21:28Speaker 11: and New South Wales Labor wins, Anthony Albanis will go
- 21:31Speaker 11: to an early election sometime next year and based on
- 21:35Speaker 11: the current polling, he's going to win with a landslide.
- 21:38Speaker 2: Again.
- 21:38Speaker 12: He might lose a couple of seats, but he will
- 21:40Speaker 12: have a massive majority.
- 21:42Speaker 13: There is nobody in the Liberal Party that you can
- 21:45Speaker 13: change to that's going to change that.
- 21:47Speaker 12: So they need to get back to the basics and
- 21:49Speaker 12: just do the hard grunt. And except that they're in
- 21:52Speaker 12: real difficulties.
- 21:55Speaker 14: Hally Hughes your take, Well, I thought it was interesting
- 21:58Speaker 14: on Monday that there was almost this rare in for
- 22:00Speaker 14: Elbow and this cheering that somehow the Poles were now
- 22:03Speaker 14: bouncing back in his favor. And you know, I went
- 22:07Speaker 14: and spoke to the ABC. You know, I'm such a
- 22:09Speaker 14: fan favorite for them. But you know, except that it's
- 22:13Speaker 14: where the momentum goes as opposed to what each pole
- 22:16Speaker 14: is saying.
- 22:17Speaker 6: But I think we can see the trends.
- 22:19Speaker 14: There can always be an anomaly, but we can see
- 22:22Speaker 14: where the trends are going. I got to say, I
- 22:25Speaker 14: watch Question Time today, There's an hour of my life
- 22:28Speaker 14: I will never get back. And for a government that
- 22:31Speaker 14: is hell bent on destroying this country. It was like
- 22:34Speaker 14: the wet lettuce being flicked at them and Albn Easy
- 22:38Speaker 14: arrogantly strutting himself around. Even Tania Plibasek was smiling like
- 22:42Speaker 14: it was really quite disgusting to watch.
- 22:45Speaker 6: And they're arrogance in the.
- 22:46Speaker 14: Way they think that they will cruise to another victory.
- 22:49Speaker 14: And I mean, if the Victorians vote for this labor
- 22:52Speaker 14: government again, and I grant them that the Victorian Liberal
- 22:55Speaker 14: Party is giving them every opportunity and every reason to
- 22:58Speaker 14: not support them through their own internal divisions and strife,
- 23:02Speaker 14: but if the Victorian people re elect the Allen government, seriously,
- 23:08Speaker 14: I mean, what are the rest of us need to
- 23:10Speaker 14: do to excise Victoria from the country, because it is
- 23:13Speaker 14: just a basket case.
- 23:14Speaker 2: It looked so true. I'm hearing Michael's prediction that if
- 23:18Speaker 2: that happens, why wouldn't needs to go to an early
- 23:21Speaker 2: election if even the Victorian Labor Party can get re elected.
- 23:24Speaker 2: My goodness me, but Michael, you know it's incredible. You've
- 23:29Speaker 2: got this division on the right and this lack of
- 23:32Speaker 2: cut through by the Liberals specifically, it is saving the
- 23:35Speaker 2: Albanizy government, even though there are more worrying sciences. Actually
- 23:39Speaker 2: take the property market now, are big fools in home
- 23:42Speaker 2: prices over the last three months Sydney especially three point
- 23:46Speaker 2: two percent fall over three months, Melbourne two point six,
- 23:49Speaker 2: although the Treasure today was brushing it off.
- 23:52Speaker 9: Housing is a long term investment, so people shouldn't get
- 23:55Speaker 9: too carried away by weekly or monthly movements in house crisis.
- 24:00Speaker 9: Treasury assumption in the budget is that house prices will
- 24:02Speaker 9: continue to grow a bit more slowly.
- 24:07Speaker 2: Now this charm is saying, oh, the numbers bounce around
- 24:09Speaker 2: weekly or monthly. The fact fact is the figures I
- 24:13Speaker 2: just gave you for price falls for three months that said, Michael,
- 24:17Speaker 2: aren't cheaper houses exactly what the government said it wanted.
- 24:20Speaker 13: Well, you know again, Bagdad, Bob Charmers is out there
- 24:24Speaker 13: spinning it the way he wants to spin it.
- 24:26Speaker 15: But look, Albo said earlier in the week that it
- 24:29Speaker 15: was a good thing that prices were coming off and
- 24:31Speaker 15: that's what the budget was designed for, even though his
- 24:33Speaker 15: own budget papers said that you would see a moderate
- 24:37Speaker 15: decline over a decade, and not only that, he claimed
- 24:40Speaker 15: that there would be more houses built, and the budget
- 24:42Speaker 15: papers themselves indicated the thirty five thousand less houses would
- 24:47Speaker 15: be built. And Andrew, I think the key fakers ought
- 24:49Speaker 15: to be on the rental marker. That's the real challenging
- 24:52Speaker 15: These fools predicted a one to two dollars increase in
- 24:56Speaker 15: rents based on all of that data that we're seeing,
- 25:00Speaker 15: and rental vacancy rates at around one percent, and remember
- 25:03Speaker 15: a balance is about three percent. We're going to see
- 25:06Speaker 15: rents go through the roof as a result of this,
- 25:09Speaker 15: and so the very people that they claim they're trying
- 25:11Speaker 15: to help are going to be worse off.
- 25:13Speaker 12: Say, look, it's all.
- 25:14Speaker 15: Spin and slogans, as you know, but the tragedy is
- 25:18Speaker 15: somebody should.
- 25:19Speaker 13: Be arguing it and nobody's arguing it. And I'll say
- 25:22Speaker 13: again about one nation. The reality is that this won't
- 25:25Speaker 13: be one on culture wars, it'll be one on the economics.
- 25:28Speaker 13: And we've got a good case if you're in opposition
- 25:31Speaker 13: to run on the economics.
- 25:35Speaker 2: Well one economics there, Holly, is negative equity. I mean,
- 25:39Speaker 2: here's the government with a scheme. You know, it's really
- 25:41Speaker 2: good at band aids that people think, oh, the government's
- 25:45Speaker 2: trained that Actually back far, it's got a scheme to
- 25:47Speaker 2: help people buy a house with just a five percent deposit.
- 25:51Speaker 2: How much longer were these price fools though before Many
- 25:54Speaker 2: of those who took advantage of that are left owing
- 25:57Speaker 2: more than their home is worth.
- 26:00Speaker 14: Well, that's the reality, is that these people are almost
- 26:02Speaker 14: already sitting in negative equity when it comes to the
- 26:04Speaker 14: houses that they've bought.
- 26:07Speaker 6: The arrogance of charmers. I mean, my blood was.
- 26:09Speaker 14: Just boiling listening to him blow that off. Quite often,
- 26:12Speaker 14: when there's circumstances that impact families that they may need
- 26:16Speaker 14: to sell, whether it's the death of someone or changes
- 26:19Speaker 14: in circumstances that they do need to sell the family home,
- 26:23Speaker 14: they can't ride out all these periods of fluctuation that
- 26:27Speaker 14: he's talking about, And it's just another slap in the.
- 26:30Speaker 6: Face to Australians.
- 26:32Speaker 14: But as I said on Monday on the ABC, and
- 26:35Speaker 14: I'll say it again now, if Albanize is so confident,
- 26:38Speaker 14: he needs to manner and provide one nation with appropriate
- 26:42Speaker 14: staffing levels because he is being a petty little man
- 26:45Speaker 14: that we know he is by limiting the resources. The Greens,
- 26:49Speaker 14: for God's sake, have more resources than one nation.
- 26:53Speaker 6: They're polling second one.
- 26:54Speaker 14: Nation in New South Wales without a current sitting MP
- 26:58Speaker 14: in the Upper or Lower House.
- 27:00Speaker 6: I mean that is extraordinary.
- 27:02Speaker 14: So Michael's right, there does need to be a strong
- 27:04Speaker 14: economic message. I didn't nap during economics when I went
- 27:08Speaker 14: to university, and supply and demands are pretty basic principle.
- 27:12Speaker 14: The clearly charmers and our feazy sleptthroat.
- 27:17Speaker 2: But so hardly just touched on something, Michael that keeps
- 27:21Speaker 2: stunning me. So you've got no candidates really in New
- 27:24Speaker 2: South Wales. One nation is coming second. In Victoria, they've
- 27:28Speaker 2: got to think two candidates and they're coming second or
- 27:31Speaker 2: first in the polls. In my life that it's extraordinary,
- 27:36Speaker 2: well one sitting wealkre in the Upper House. But Michael,
- 27:42Speaker 2: but Michael, this is quite extraordinary, isn't it. I've never
- 27:46Speaker 2: seen one nation is the greatest an idea without candidates.
- 27:50Speaker 13: Well, look, Andrew, it is extraordinary and we're living in
- 27:53Speaker 13: a political seismic shift in terms of politics.
- 27:57Speaker 12: But again I come back to the basic issue.
- 28:00Speaker 13: If you're concerned about all of those economic issues as
- 28:03Speaker 13: I am, and we discuss on your program every every week,
- 28:06Speaker 13: and you know, the Australian people feel it every day,
- 28:09Speaker 13: at every minute of every day in terms of the
- 28:11Speaker 13: property market. And remember just the way on the property
- 28:13Speaker 13: market that's twenty percent of our GDP. That's the only
- 28:17Speaker 13: thing Charmers seems to have forgotten about when you take
- 28:20Speaker 13: into a building.
- 28:21Speaker 12: Sector and reel so everything. So we are facing and
- 28:24Speaker 12: I've said this here before, Andrew. You know, he tried
- 28:27Speaker 12: to engineer a soft landing.
- 28:28Speaker 2: What a joke.
- 28:29Speaker 13: We're ending up with a soft stagflation. And the bottom
- 28:33Speaker 13: line is that you really do need I think that
- 28:35Speaker 13: the argument.
- 28:37Speaker 6: The bungee jump into website.
- 28:38Speaker 2: Yeah, I look, and I think I think all that's
- 28:41Speaker 2: I think that hard reality is going to be with
- 28:43Speaker 2: the next interest rate. How in particular, how Hughes and
- 28:48Speaker 2: mister Costa, Michael Costa, thank you so much to you
- 28:52Speaker 2: both really appreciated after the break A premiere on the run. Plus,
- 28:56Speaker 2: why hasn't this climate soar been sacked already? Well, I've
- 29:07Speaker 2: got to tell you about a story, an update you
- 29:10Speaker 2: want to story. I mentioned the last night Victoria's coruption
- 29:12Speaker 2: scanner because we've got a premiere on the run. Literally,
- 29:16Speaker 2: it's about how corrupt officials and the CFMA union and
- 29:19Speaker 2: organized criminal gains. They stole billions from the Victorian labor
- 29:23Speaker 2: government's big construction projects, with the government doing almost nothing
- 29:27Speaker 2: to stop it, as I showed you. And now the
- 29:29Speaker 2: old Albanezi government is tossing these projects another four billion
- 29:33Speaker 2: dollars today more revelations. So when Alan was Transport Minister,
- 29:38Speaker 2: her officials pressure two big construction companies to comet to
- 29:41Speaker 2: deal with the corrupt CFMAU, saying that's what she wanted
- 29:45Speaker 2: to deal with that union. It's a deal that of
- 29:48Speaker 2: course helped the union then forced these companies to use
- 29:51Speaker 2: this preferred labor her companies or else now at a
- 29:56Speaker 2: cost of companies a lot of money. By the way,
- 29:59Speaker 2: Premier Allen stayed out the state, out of sight for
- 30:01Speaker 2: most of the day until she made a rush to
- 30:04Speaker 2: reach Parliament House pursued by journalists just happy to be
- 30:08Speaker 2: standing there.
- 30:09Speaker 5: Why don't we get back to the Parliament perfect because
- 30:12Speaker 5: I don't want you guys.
- 30:13Speaker 16: To leave.
- 30:17Speaker 6: Might stuff here.
- 30:20Speaker 10: Look, I've really got a really tight time, so super.
- 30:24Speaker 2: Quick really, and then she proceeded to say absolutely nothing
- 30:29Speaker 2: at all. And you've got to ask what is she hiding?
- 30:33Speaker 2: Why is there no royal commission into this? Why no action,
- 30:37Speaker 2: no real action? And why is the Abineza government throwing
- 30:40Speaker 2: more good money after bad into this stinking mess? Joined
- 30:44Speaker 2: me as the Federal opposition's Energy spokesman, Dan teen Dan,
- 30:48Speaker 2: thank you for coming on. You've actually come on to
- 30:49Speaker 2: discuss something else we've got on to it. Yeah, I
- 30:52Speaker 2: mean you're a Victorian and this just happened. What do
- 30:54Speaker 2: you make of it?
- 30:57Speaker 17: The corruption coine just in her Elema's presided over corruption
- 31:01Speaker 17: the like of which we haven't seen in Victoria and
- 31:05Speaker 17: it is absolutely disgraceful that there hasn't been a royal
- 31:09Speaker 17: commission called to look into this. And one of the
- 31:12Speaker 17: first things Jess Wilson came out and said is that
- 31:15Speaker 17: we need a royal commission and let's hope that the
- 31:18Speaker 17: Victorian people back her in and we get a change
- 31:22Speaker 17: of government so that can occur, and then we'll be
- 31:25Speaker 17: also able to hold Anthony Albanesi to account because he's
- 31:30Speaker 17: done two things knowing.
- 31:32Speaker 2: That this corruption is there in Victoria.
- 31:35Speaker 17: He's put money further money into the suburban rail loop
- 31:39Speaker 17: and other projects and hasn't sought any real assurances to
- 31:44Speaker 17: make sure that that money doesn't go to organized crime
- 31:50Speaker 17: or other facilitators of corruption in the state of Victoria.
- 31:55Speaker 17: And also, not only that, he's bringing in laws here
- 31:59Speaker 17: in Canberra means when government procurement takes place here with
- 32:03Speaker 17: major projects, we're likely to see that type of corruption
- 32:07Speaker 17: be encouraged on federal projects. So he will be damned
- 32:12Speaker 17: if we can get a Royal Commission up as well.
- 32:18Speaker 2: So many Australians, and particularly Victoria, works so hard to
- 32:23Speaker 2: get money, hand it over heaps of it to government,
- 32:26Speaker 2: and this is how government treats their money, you know.
- 32:30Speaker 2: But it's looking away while crooks steal billions of it.
- 32:33Speaker 2: It's just it's so disgraceful. Now you did come on
- 32:37Speaker 2: to discuss something I think is also red hot. Not
- 32:39Speaker 2: as red hot as that, but pretty bad. Matt Kean,
- 32:43Speaker 2: here's the chairman of the Climate Change authority that advises
- 32:46Speaker 2: the government what to do about global warming that ramps
- 32:49Speaker 2: up the scare, but is also the head of a
- 32:52Speaker 2: fundraising and regulatory side of Wallamey Capital, which says it
- 32:58Speaker 2: makes money on global warming by backing some of the
- 33:02Speaker 2: world's biggest businesses and projects with the aim of decarbonizing
- 33:05Speaker 2: our planet. Business opportunities there and this conflict of interest
- 33:11Speaker 2: was shown by King charging taxpace thirty two thousand dollars
- 33:16Speaker 2: to fly to a UN conference in Brazil, where as
- 33:19Speaker 2: well as doing authority business, he was drumming our private
- 33:23Speaker 2: business on a panel for that same Lamar Capital. He's
- 33:27Speaker 2: on the left in this picture here you couldn't get
- 33:30Speaker 2: a clear example, Dan of a seeming conflict of interest.
- 33:34Speaker 2: What are you wanting done about it? Well, Andrew, as.
- 33:40Speaker 17: You know, we were able to get this through freedom
- 33:44Speaker 17: of information. And what I've done is I've called for
- 33:48Speaker 17: Matt Kaine either to resign from the Climate Change Authority
- 33:52Speaker 17: as Chris Bowen's chiefs are, or to resign from Willemai Capital.
- 33:58Speaker 17: And what Chris Bowen needs to do as the minister
- 34:02Speaker 17: is to act because there, you know, you had a
- 34:06Speaker 17: governance expert from the University of Canberra come out and
- 34:10Speaker 17: say that this, you know, on the surface of it
- 34:15Speaker 17: looks like perceived conflict of interest, even if it isn't
- 34:20Speaker 17: a direct one, and therefore action should be taken. So
- 34:25Speaker 17: we want Matt Kean to either resign from Willami Capital
- 34:30Speaker 17: or to resign as the Chris Bowen's chief climates are,
- 34:35Speaker 17: and Chris Bowen to act because at the moment Chris
- 34:38Speaker 17: Bowen won't come in on this, and he's just sitting
- 34:41Speaker 17: back and allowing this to happen. Now, that is not
- 34:44Speaker 17: good governance in anyone's book.
- 34:49Speaker 2: None at all, None at all. I think it's scandalous. Now, Dan,
- 34:53Speaker 2: I'm really sorry, and I'll preface it by saying, to
- 34:57Speaker 2: make it the bit a little sweet that I've always
- 35:01Speaker 2: rated you, as you know, one of the hardest working
- 35:04Speaker 2: ministers there and effective of shadow ministers. Now, but the poles,
- 35:09Speaker 2: the poles they spilled to me when I look at them,
- 35:12Speaker 2: they spill it utter doom for the Liberals. Your heart
- 35:16Speaker 2: must have sunk to see the latest.
- 35:19Speaker 17: Look, all of us work hard, and when you work hard,
- 35:24Speaker 17: you've got to make sure that you continue to work
- 35:28Speaker 17: hard no matter what the circumstances are. Andrew I always
- 35:33Speaker 17: take great solos from our wonderful football team, the Richmond
- 35:36Speaker 17: Football Club.
- 35:37Speaker 2: You'll remember that period. I mention Richmond birdeen fourteen.
- 35:41Speaker 17: Fifteen sixteen, and we all thought.
- 35:44Speaker 2: You know, it's never going to turn around.
- 35:46Speaker 17: But they worked hard, they stayed united, they had a
- 35:50Speaker 17: great game plan under Damien Hardwick, and then all of
- 35:53Speaker 17: a sudden, from sort of cellar dwellers, we were winning
- 35:57Speaker 17: premierships and we were unstoppable. So you know, there's the
- 36:01Speaker 17: lesson for us. Work hard, you know, make sure you're
- 36:06Speaker 17: there holding the labor government to account where these conflicts
- 36:09Speaker 17: of interest that you see point them out like I
- 36:12Speaker 17: have with Matt Kean and Chris Bowen and Will of
- 36:15Speaker 17: my Capital, when you've got an opportunity to highlight the
- 36:19Speaker 17: fact that there's no transparency around the capacity Investments scheme
- 36:23Speaker 17: where the government's spending billions and billion dollars billions of
- 36:26Speaker 17: dollars of renewable projects and there is no accountability whatsoever
- 36:31Speaker 17: when it comes to highlighting the corruption, which is literally
- 36:35Speaker 17: a blind eyes been turned to in Victoria and you
- 36:38Speaker 17: see it creeping in federally. They're all the things that
- 36:41Speaker 17: we've got to continue to do and if we do that.
- 36:45Speaker 17: My view is like Richmond's fortunes turned around, ours will,
- 36:49Speaker 17: but it's not going to happen overnight, and it's going
- 36:51Speaker 17: to require hard work and holding this albanezy labor government
- 36:56Speaker 17: to account and this Prime Minister who we all know
- 36:58Speaker 17: now lies, so you can't trust him holding him to
- 37:02Speaker 17: account as well.
- 37:05Speaker 2: Dan, that was really encouraging. But you know, don't you
- 37:09Speaker 2: that Angus Taylor is a very nice man, very smart,
- 37:13Speaker 2: but it's not connecting, is not cutting through well.
- 37:19Speaker 17: I think the Angus Taylor's budgeting reply speech Andrews set
- 37:23Speaker 17: out a very that was good print for us to follow,
- 37:27Speaker 17: and that's what we've all got to unite behind and do.
- 37:31Speaker 2: No I did congratulate him on that publicly and privately,
- 37:35Speaker 2: but yeah, I just think there's a terminal problem there. Dantean,
- 37:40Speaker 2: thank you so much for fronting up. I really appreciate it.
- 37:42Speaker 2: After the break, the Viewer of Meteorology claims it can
- 37:45Speaker 2: predict our global warming future and the distant future, but
- 37:50Speaker 2: predicting just this winter big fail. The Viewer of Meteorology
- 37:59Speaker 2: it's been warning us of global warming disasters to come
- 38:03Speaker 2: in the decades ahead, but once again it kind of
- 38:05Speaker 2: predicular weather just months or even weeks away. Two months
- 38:09Speaker 2: ago warned at the al Nino pattern sent to have
- 38:11Speaker 2: come and that meant that winter in Australia's southeast it's
- 38:15Speaker 2: going to be drier, man hotter, and climate change was
- 38:19Speaker 2: blame for coming through very strongly in its forecast. But
- 38:22Speaker 2: eight days ago, well no, In fact eight days ago
- 38:25Speaker 2: the message was again less rain.
- 38:29Speaker 18: Al Nino is here and it's likely to be strong.
- 38:33Speaker 2: But what does that actually mean?
- 38:35Speaker 18: Well, typically al Nino brings drier conditions to central and
- 38:39Speaker 18: Eastern Australia in winter and in spring as we're likely
- 38:42Speaker 18: to see less rain.
- 38:43Speaker 2: Than usual, so the update just yesterday would have come
- 38:48Speaker 2: as a surprise to many.
- 38:50Speaker 18: Multiple rounds of rain are crossing southern Australia this week,
- 38:54Speaker 18: bringing widespread of wet weather and a risk of flooding.
- 39:00Speaker 2: In fact, Bendi and Victoria had us were to stay
- 39:02Speaker 2: in one hundred and twenty eight years, and the rain
- 39:04Speaker 2: forecast for today showed the southeast again getting lots and
- 39:08Speaker 2: lots of rain. Joining me at Germin Zornini comumns of
- 39:11Speaker 2: Communications consultant Chris McSweeney in other communications consultant. So we will,
- 39:16Speaker 2: we will, have very great communications for you, and she
- 39:19Speaker 2: has worked for coalition Prime minister as a premiers. Jemmy,
- 39:23Speaker 2: whether it's not climate, I know that, but you know,
- 39:25Speaker 2: I've got to be honest with you. I had lost
- 39:27Speaker 2: all confidence in these predictions ever since former Climate Commissioner
- 39:31Speaker 2: Tim Flannery told us that even the rain that falls
- 39:34Speaker 2: will not actually fill our dams in our river systems.
- 39:37Speaker 2: Do you ever pay much attention to the predictions you
- 39:40Speaker 2: get of you know, Global Woman is going to do
- 39:42Speaker 2: this and that.
- 39:43Speaker 10: No, not at all. The short answer is, I mean,
- 39:45Speaker 10: I believe the climate is changing, but I do not
- 39:47Speaker 10: believe where in an emergency and the data would reflect that.
- 39:50Speaker 10: And you know, let's just remind ourselves at al Gore
- 39:53Speaker 10: got a Nobel Peace Prize for saying a whole bunch
- 39:56Speaker 10: of stuff that never came true. So you know, it's
- 39:59Speaker 10: nice to have those points sanity to anchor ourselves to.
- 40:01Speaker 10: But to a more practical and granular expression of this, Andrew,
- 40:06Speaker 10: I had a small gathering at my home in the
- 40:08Speaker 10: middle of June, and I needed the weather to be accurate,
- 40:11Speaker 10: and I ignored the Bureau of Meteorologies predictions because they
- 40:15Speaker 10: were inaccurate. I ended up using another platform. I think
- 40:18Speaker 10: it was called ACUI Weather. It was accurate to the letter,
- 40:22Speaker 10: complete opposite of what the bureau's website had predicted for
- 40:24Speaker 10: that day. And I'm not sure whether it cost ninety
- 40:27Speaker 10: million dollars to build, but it's the truth, right, Let's
- 40:31Speaker 10: not forget that it cost ninety that's a less a thing.
- 40:36Speaker 2: Thank you for reminding us all it costs more than
- 40:39Speaker 2: ninety billion dollars for a new computer set up, et cetera,
- 40:41Speaker 2: et cetera. And honestly, Christy, my finger wet and stuck
- 40:47Speaker 2: in the air. Probably you do a better job on
- 40:49Speaker 2: some occasions.
- 40:51Speaker 16: Well, Andrew, you and I both have been Melbourne. We
- 40:53Speaker 16: know how unreliable the weather is. No matter what the
- 40:57Speaker 16: bomb says, you wouldn't rely on it. And look, I
- 41:01Speaker 16: don't pay heed to headlines suggesting we're in a climate emergency,
- 41:05Speaker 16: suggesting that every change in the weather has been due
- 41:08Speaker 16: to the climate emergency. Certainly we have to accept the
- 41:12Speaker 16: climate science, but there's an alarmist element. I think that
- 41:16Speaker 16: gets forced upon us quite often totally, and I don't
- 41:21Speaker 16: think Australians are buying it. Perhaps one hundred of Chris
- 41:24Speaker 16: Bold's cop presidency bureaucrats could God work at the bomb
- 41:28Speaker 16: and maybe help them out.
- 41:32Speaker 2: At least leave Australia. That would be a very useful start. Now,
- 41:36Speaker 2: more seriously, Jemma I mentioned at the top of the
- 41:39Speaker 2: show that American Egyptian comedian that our top Jewish group
- 41:44Speaker 2: wants the government to keep out of the country. I'm
- 41:47Speaker 2: sort of torn here because I've always been freedom of speech.
- 41:49Speaker 2: And one of my sons said, I saw the guy
- 41:51Speaker 2: last time and you didn't notice this kind of turn.
- 41:56Speaker 2: Should we have actually more confidence that we can handle debate?
- 41:59Speaker 2: We don't need people band because to be honest, I
- 42:02Speaker 2: have lost confidence in many Australands being able to resist
- 42:05Speaker 2: this poison. I've been shocked, you know, broadly.
- 42:08Speaker 10: In a perfect world, I would say, yes, we should
- 42:10Speaker 10: have confidence that Australians can hold more, that we can
- 42:14Speaker 10: walk and chew gum andrew, that we can hold two
- 42:16Speaker 10: ideas intention But we have seen, and not just through
- 42:20Speaker 10: the evidence of the Royal Commission, which has really exposed
- 42:23Speaker 10: that horrible underbelly, pervasive underbelly through the Australian Society of
- 42:29Speaker 10: anti Jewish hate. I think if I think we need
- 42:35Speaker 10: to be a bit careful and we need to be
- 42:36Speaker 10: a bit more considered in this day and age. And
- 42:38Speaker 10: the other thing I think the factor here is there
- 42:40Speaker 10: doesn't seem to be an even handed approach from the
- 42:43Speaker 10: government about the government about who it is letting into
- 42:45Speaker 10: this country based on what they're going to say and
- 42:48Speaker 10: who it is not letting into this country. It's been
- 42:51Speaker 10: very quick to let certain people in who have got
- 42:54Speaker 10: documented track records of being anti Semitic, and banned a
- 42:59Speaker 10: former government minister for reasons that were very, very flimsy.
- 43:03Speaker 10: So I don't have confidence in the even handed approach
- 43:05Speaker 10: required to manage these things. But I also don't know
- 43:08Speaker 10: that I have that. I don't think I have confidence
- 43:11Speaker 10: in some people not to be further radicalized around this issue.
- 43:16Speaker 10: I can't believe I'm saying that, but that's actually how
- 43:19Speaker 10: I feel. We are not as resilient as we once
- 43:21Speaker 10: were as a nation. We're poorer for it.
- 43:24Speaker 2: So true, And when you say radicalized, I don't even
- 43:27Speaker 2: I think if I looked at the audience, I wouldn't
- 43:29Speaker 2: see that many Muslims there. I would be seeing people
- 43:32Speaker 2: of Brunswick and Balmaine and the left line left the
- 43:36Speaker 2: suburbs of the country.
- 43:38Speaker 10: Totally.
- 43:38Speaker 2: Yeah, well, radicalized under Marx or something like that. But
- 43:42Speaker 2: what do you make of this, Christie? I mean, this
- 43:44Speaker 2: is your this is your queue to come screaming in
- 43:48Speaker 2: defending free speech, telling the audience we haven't lost we
- 43:51Speaker 2: haven't lost sight of that noble objective.
- 43:55Speaker 16: Look, we haven't lost sight of it. And I'm a
- 43:56Speaker 16: free speech defender as well, free speech within the texts
- 44:00Speaker 16: of reasonable and rational debation. And we might not like
- 44:03Speaker 16: what you say, but we defend your right to say it.
- 44:06Speaker 16: And of course the arts community would say, you know,
- 44:09Speaker 16: comedy is one area where we can hold a mirror
- 44:12Speaker 16: up to our society and debate these things in a
- 44:16Speaker 16: comedic way, and that's the arts and that's what the arts.
- 44:19Speaker 6: Has always done.
- 44:20Speaker 16: But I think the issue with this guy is not
- 44:22Speaker 16: the fact that he's a comedian and then people will
- 44:24Speaker 16: go and see him. I think it's the issue is
- 44:27Speaker 16: things that he has said in interviews in a serious
- 44:30Speaker 16: journalism way, not through his comedy. So we have to
- 44:35Speaker 16: separate the argument of free speech and the arts and
- 44:38Speaker 16: his comedy from what he actually says on platforms where
- 44:42Speaker 16: he's speaking with his non comedic voice to actual journalists
- 44:46Speaker 16: about his opinions and to me, some of that is
- 44:49Speaker 16: very very line ball and should be evaluated. As for
- 44:52Speaker 16: critical thought, I think we would love to see Australians
- 44:57Speaker 16: be able to engage in debate and think about these
- 44:59Speaker 16: things way everybody is intending them to be done. But
- 45:03Speaker 16: we have seen so many young people marching in the
- 45:05Speaker 16: streets waving flags, wearing cafirs, chanting slogans that they don't
- 45:09Speaker 16: know the meaning of because they've been encouraged to do so,
- 45:13Speaker 16: or because they've thought about it without knowing information or
- 45:16Speaker 16: applying critical thought to why they're doing it. And so yeah,
- 45:19Speaker 16: I think as a society that is a real worry.
- 45:23Speaker 2: And can I just.
- 45:24Speaker 10: Add, sorry, just the art go ahead. The art sector,
- 45:29Speaker 10: you know, advocating for free speech is just you know,
- 45:32Speaker 10: like so rich the art sector who has become so
- 45:36Speaker 10: you know, the lead, the lead bastion of cancelors. They
- 45:39Speaker 10: are so quick to don't go to a ride as
- 45:42Speaker 10: festival if you've got an idea that doesn't you know,
- 45:44Speaker 10: go along with the prevailing view of the art sector.
- 45:48Speaker 10: I mean, my god, these people are just the biggest
- 45:50Speaker 10: hypocrites when it comes to this sector, this issue.
- 45:56Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, Christy maybe I'm more sensitive right at
- 45:59Speaker 2: the moment because and watching a really excellent series called
- 46:02Speaker 2: We Were the Lucky Ones about Jews in Poland just
- 46:06Speaker 2: before the Nazis came, and then when the Nazis came,
- 46:09Speaker 2: and you think, oh my god, how could they not
- 46:11Speaker 2: see this coming? Why didn't they take action? And now
- 46:14Speaker 2: I feel I'm living reliving the beginning of that right
- 46:18Speaker 2: in my own country. And I'm not even Jewish. I
- 46:21Speaker 2: mean my Jewish friends. I've got one that's about to
- 46:24Speaker 2: DeCamp to Israel thinking, look, this country is no longer safe.
- 46:28Speaker 16: When good people do nothing Andrew and when good governments
- 46:32Speaker 16: turned blind eye, and we are It is real Jewish
- 46:37Speaker 16: people are scared. I've said on the program before. I
- 46:39Speaker 16: live in Saint Kilda East. I walk daily past the
- 46:43Speaker 16: temples and past the schools with armed guards out the front.
- 46:47Speaker 16: And it is real that parents do not want to
- 46:50Speaker 16: put their children on a tram in their skill uniform.
- 46:52Speaker 16: It is real that they are upset with the Victorian
- 46:54Speaker 16: government not stopping these protests, and certainly not putting a
- 46:58Speaker 16: stop to protests that are held parks on Shabbat Friday
- 47:01Speaker 16: next to temples. There is anger, and there is frustration,
- 47:06Speaker 16: and there is also real disappointment in our multi layer
- 47:10Speaker 16: of government, federal, local, and state, particularly here in Victoria.
- 47:15Speaker 6: Yep.
- 47:17Speaker 2: Now, Jimmy, I've actually almost run out of time, but
- 47:20Speaker 2: I've got to play this because I think it's very clever.
- 47:23Speaker 2: You know, the Labor Party. Give them say what you will,
- 47:27Speaker 2: but they are very good at slogans, very effective. This
- 47:30Speaker 2: is a good line that Anthony Albernezi has been using
- 47:33Speaker 2: for now. I think about two weeks against the liberals,
- 47:36Speaker 2: one nation in the National cervitisen.
- 47:38Speaker 6: The three right wing parties, three.
- 47:42Speaker 2: Three right wing party I think that simple phrase, the
- 47:47Speaker 2: three right wing parties makes fotus think it's a simple
- 47:50Speaker 2: left right contest and the right is just the rabble.
- 47:53Speaker 2: They're all together, They're all the rabble. Very effective, not
- 47:56Speaker 2: quite true.
- 47:57Speaker 5: Hand on my heart, Andrew.
- 47:58Speaker 10: The only thing I hear people talking about around the
- 48:01Speaker 10: Prime Minister is how untruthful he is, what a socialist
- 48:04Speaker 10: menace he is, and how he is driving this country
- 48:07Speaker 10: off a cliff. Hand on my heart, that is the
- 48:10Speaker 10: only thing. But I've not heard that phrase before. And
- 48:12Speaker 10: I sit glued to the TV in my office for
- 48:13Speaker 10: my sins every single day haven't heard him say it. Absolutely,
- 48:18Speaker 10: it's water for Duck's back. It means nothing, just like
- 48:20Speaker 10: his word means nothing.
- 48:24Speaker 2: Jemma fifteen seconds.
- 48:28Speaker 16: Oh and Anthony, Christy, Sorry, that's okay. I don't chew
- 48:32Speaker 16: my fifteen seconds Andrew. He's lied, and it doesn't matter
- 48:36Speaker 16: how much he tries to say the three right wing
- 48:38Speaker 16: parties or the one National Party as I've also heard
- 48:41Speaker 16: him say, and they've refined it.
- 48:43Speaker 6: He has lied.
- 48:44Speaker 16: And it doesn't matter that they are saying where out
- 48:47Speaker 16: they're explaining.
- 48:48Speaker 6: You're not got to.
- 48:50Speaker 2: Go, Jemmy, Jemma and Christy got to go. Thank you
- 48:53Speaker 2: very much, ladies, coming now. Trump's America turn to fifty
- 48:56Speaker 2: years in the Making, presented by Paul Murray. Goodnight,
