Speaker 1: This is the report it.
0:16
Speaker 2: And welcome to What's Now News twenty four. If you
0:19
Speaker 2: thought that the sky was the limit here, you're wrong.
0:22
Speaker 2: News twenty four be even better Coming up tonight. The
0:26
Speaker 2: worst premiere in the country tells her labor and piece
0:29
Speaker 2: they'll have to sack her tomorrow to get rid of her.
0:32
Speaker 2: As a panicking party sinks in scandals and wait to
0:35
Speaker 2: see you. The ABC is barracking for also tonight, shocking
0:39
Speaker 2: confirmation speaking of the ABC that is not just out
0:42
Speaker 2: of control but sick. ABC management defends broadcasting at rant,
0:47
Speaker 2: calling from mining billionaire Gena Reinhardt to be sodomized with
0:50
Speaker 2: a stick, saying, hey, that follows ABC standards, and Gina
0:55
Speaker 2: Ryan Hart iss You're going to hit back hard and
0:58
Speaker 2: so much more tonight, in adding China's new weapons the
1:01
Speaker 2: latest she hardest attacked this time, and gays and Donald
1:04
Speaker 2: Trump reportedly giving up on beating Iran. But first, the
1:10
Speaker 2: law is an ass. It's a menace that ad and
1:14
Speaker 2: c restriction on our free speech has struck again. The
1:18
Speaker 2: Federal court today dismissed Paul Enhance's appeal against the judgment
1:21
Speaker 2: two years ago that she had racially vilified Green Senator
1:25
Speaker 2: Lee as Senate Deputy Leader Mary In Ferruki by telling
1:29
Speaker 2: her to excuse the language, piss off back to Pakistan.
1:33
Speaker 2: A judgment of that at the time reduced the One
1:35
Speaker 2: Nation leader to tears when I said to her on air,
1:38
Speaker 2: you seemed not for six.
1:41
Speaker 3: It has andrew, you know. I just feel that the
2:01
Speaker 3: country has changed so much in such a way that
2:07
Speaker 3: people can't say what they think anymore. The thought police
2:11
Speaker 3: are out there, everyone shut down to having an opinion.
2:16
Speaker 3: It's not the country that I grew up in.
2:21
Speaker 2: But today Marie Ferruki was crowing, calling this a victory
2:25
Speaker 2: for Muslims.
2:26
Speaker 4: She did engage in racist and islamophobic behavior. She continues
2:31
Speaker 4: to engage in racist and islamopho big behavior. Today's when
2:37
Speaker 4: is for every single person out there who has been
2:41
Speaker 4: told to go back to where you came from. Hate
2:43
Speaker 4: speech is being normalized in this country right now, and
2:47
Speaker 4: I for one will not be a bystander. I will
2:53
Speaker 4: stand up to hate in the streets, in parliament and
2:58
Speaker 4: in courtrooms. This case today is our fight back against
3:06
Speaker 4: the far right. Today's victory is especially important at the
3:12
Speaker 4: time when the far right is rising and fueling more
3:17
Speaker 4: and more racism in this country as their point fingers
3:21
Speaker 4: at migrants and Muslims.
3:25
Speaker 2: Now on its own, telling an immigrant to go back
3:30
Speaker 2: to where they came from? Can ind be racist? I
3:32
Speaker 2: didn't like you when I was told to go back
3:34
Speaker 2: to South Africa, particularly since I've never been there in
3:36
Speaker 2: my life. But anyway, should there be a law against
3:40
Speaker 2: saying that? Well? I think not. But yes, it can
3:44
Speaker 2: be racist. I know that, But was it racist in
3:47
Speaker 2: this context? The Federal Court today agreed again, yes it was,
3:53
Speaker 2: And I think, are you crazy? Here's what happened four
3:58
Speaker 2: years ago. Within hours of the queen dying, Mary Ferruki
4:02
Speaker 2: posted her canolosis without clearly and sincere because she went on,
4:05
Speaker 2: I cannot mourn the leader of a racist empire built
4:09
Speaker 2: on stolen lives, land and wealth of colonized people. We
4:12
Speaker 2: are reminded of the urgency of a treaty with First Nations,
4:16
Speaker 2: justice and reparations for British colonies and becoming a republic.
4:22
Speaker 2: And look, I have to say, I can't believe it
4:25
Speaker 2: was alone. You're wondering yet again when I read that,
4:28
Speaker 2: why Ferruki had chosen to come to a country she
4:31
Speaker 2: damns as racist and thinks is headed by racist to
4:35
Speaker 2: a land that she claims is stolen, to a constitutional
4:37
Speaker 2: monarchy led by people she says are thieves, and which
4:40
Speaker 2: should have said be a republic, and so on. It's
4:44
Speaker 2: not racist to ask these questions. I'd have asked them
4:47
Speaker 2: of my own parents, had they decided the land they
4:51
Speaker 2: came to was evil and ugly and had to be
4:53
Speaker 2: changed top to bottom to suit them. Hanson, of course
4:58
Speaker 2: put this question more vigorously, tweeting about Farruki. Your attitude
5:02
Speaker 2: disgusts me is clear you're not happy, So pack your
5:06
Speaker 2: bags and piss off back to Pakistan. And for that
5:11
Speaker 2: she now faces legal costs of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
5:16
Speaker 2: She is facing that because she is up against the
5:19
Speaker 2: ridiculous law that says you cannot offend, insult, humiliate, and
5:23
Speaker 2: intimidate someone like this, so someone can use their hurt
5:26
Speaker 2: feelings as a weapon against you to shut you down,
5:29
Speaker 2: even someone who's a loudmouth senator who sure offends me.
5:33
Speaker 2: It's Ferruki, I mean really. Further, the appeal court judges
5:37
Speaker 2: that I ruled that the original judges right all along
5:40
Speaker 2: to say the Hans's tweet was a racist trope. I
5:42
Speaker 2: didn't get it now. They said it was treating immigrants
5:45
Speaker 2: as a second class, a second class Australians less worthy
5:48
Speaker 2: of what Australia has to offer, and even claim to
5:51
Speaker 2: tweet would be understood as an anti Muslim message, even
5:55
Speaker 2: though Hanson never mentioned Islam. Good thing serious. Now, it's
6:02
Speaker 2: true that Hanson, in her court case to herself no
6:05
Speaker 2: favors by denying the bleeding obvious. I mean, you know,
6:08
Speaker 2: denying her tweet had anything to do with Feruki's national origin,
6:14
Speaker 2: denying that she knew Fariki was Muslim, I mean, come on,
6:18
Speaker 2: it just made it look shifty. And while I think
6:23
Speaker 2: the judges still did go far too far, that said
6:27
Speaker 2: the law they have to follow that has to be
6:30
Speaker 2: the real problem here. And Hanson is issued today this.
6:33
Speaker 5: Response, if the people in Australia are scared or forbidden
6:38
Speaker 5: to freely express themselves, then those values are eroded. I'm
6:42
Speaker 5: here to fight for all strands to ensure that such
6:46
Speaker 5: a dark day never comes.
6:51
Speaker 2: Now, I think this law that was used against Hansen
6:54
Speaker 2: is particularly wrong now, of course, when indeed is are
6:58
Speaker 2: very hot and justified debate about limiting immigration from places
7:03
Speaker 2: with values very different to ours, so might say, you know,
7:08
Speaker 2: like Pakistan, I suspect a lot of people would agree
7:12
Speaker 2: and may now turn this verdict from a blow against
7:16
Speaker 2: Hansen to a blow against those trying to shut her down.
7:22
Speaker 2: They will back one nation even more what we shall
7:25
Speaker 2: see even if we dared not speak now, speaking of
7:35
Speaker 2: Pauline Hanson, we've just seen some stunning and dangerous hypocrisy
7:40
Speaker 2: from this Prime minister in attacking her. Give you two examples.
7:45
Speaker 2: The first you remember, of course, how outraged Anthony albani
7:48
Speaker 2: Is he claimed to be when Hanson was given a
7:51
Speaker 2: plane by mining billionaire Gina Reinadt so she could campaign
7:54
Speaker 2: around the country in greater safety.
7:58
Speaker 6: One nation attend that they stand for battlers whilst getting
8:05
Speaker 6: planes given to them by Australia's richest person, while receiving
8:09
Speaker 6: donations from some of the very wealthiest people.
8:15
Speaker 2: Yet, Anthony Albernezi himself went a week ago to this
8:19
Speaker 2: Sydney mansion of the twenty five year old son of
8:22
Speaker 2: a Chinese billionaire and accused tax avoider and received the
8:26
Speaker 2: donation variously reported as being between one hundred thousand dollars
8:29
Speaker 2: and a million dollars. Let me point out some crucial
8:33
Speaker 2: differences here too. Pauline Hansen was upfront about that donation
8:38
Speaker 2: from Reinhardt. She showed it off, showed off this Australian
8:42
Speaker 2: donation to report us that there was nothing to be
8:45
Speaker 2: ashamed of, nothing to hide. In contrast, the Prime Miniscu
8:49
Speaker 2: yesterday was absolutely not upfront about his Chinese donation or
8:54
Speaker 2: the fundraising dinner.
8:56
Speaker 7: Did you attend a dinner at the home of Felix
8:58
Speaker 7: Lee in point Piper ten?
9:00
Speaker 2: Lots of functions.
9:02
Speaker 6: I attend lots of functions in lots of places, including
9:05
Speaker 6: last night right here.
9:06
Speaker 7: What about this dinner?
9:07
Speaker 6: And point part I attend lots of functions.
9:10
Speaker 7: Where you want to ask.
9:15
Speaker 2: Another contrast, Hansen said, yes, this is exactly what I
9:19
Speaker 2: did receive from this Australian billionaire a plane worth a
9:23
Speaker 2: million dollars. She said, But how an easy He refuses
9:28
Speaker 2: to say exactly what he got from this Chinese billionaire
9:32
Speaker 2: property developer and gambler Philip Dong fong Li or his
9:36
Speaker 2: young son Felix, who were asked to believe as separate
9:39
Speaker 2: business interests from his father.
9:42
Speaker 7: That's where the money is coming from. PM. Is this
9:45
Speaker 7: going to be looked into whether there's a red flag here.
9:47
Speaker 6: Well, we declare all of our donations in accordance with
9:53
Speaker 6: the rules.
9:56
Speaker 2: At a final contrast, we know why Right had donated
10:00
Speaker 2: that plane to Hanson. It's obvious right how it likes
10:03
Speaker 2: what Hansen says about scrapping it zero and encouraging investment.
10:08
Speaker 8: To encourage investment, we simply have to cut tape, regulations
10:14
Speaker 8: and taxes.
10:18
Speaker 2: But no one seems to know or confess what this
10:21
Speaker 2: Chinese billionaire and his son won from alban Easy. Is
10:25
Speaker 2: it help with the regulators who have been on their back? Perhaps?
10:30
Speaker 2: I mean son Felix at a banking startup that he
10:33
Speaker 2: backed lose its license. And his father had a huge
10:36
Speaker 2: broad with the Tax Office, which accused of repeatedly deceiving
10:38
Speaker 2: authority support billions from China into Australian bank accounts and mansions,
10:44
Speaker 2: and putting billions through casinos, leading to reports of suspicious
10:49
Speaker 2: or suspicions of money money laundering. I should stress, of course,
10:53
Speaker 2: the father denies any wrongdoing in alberneas he claims he
10:56
Speaker 2: knew nothing about anything.
10:59
Speaker 7: Lots of fundraising this one. The concern is that his
11:01
Speaker 7: father is accused by the Tax Office of deceiving authorities
11:04
Speaker 7: about funneling huge sums of money from China to Australia.
11:09
Speaker 7: Is that the concern for you, well, I'm not aware
11:13
Speaker 7: of those issues. Should have been a wound. He wasn't there.
11:16
Speaker 7: He wasn't there.
11:19
Speaker 2: So given all that, you have to wonder at the
11:22
Speaker 2: sheer hide of a Prime Minister who rants about Hanson
11:26
Speaker 2: openly getting a donation from Australia, who made her money
11:29
Speaker 2: through good, honest Australian Earth, while secretly trousering a donation
11:34
Speaker 2: from a Chinese businessman who got his money. Lord knows
11:38
Speaker 2: how the second example an't. He has had another big
11:43
Speaker 2: go at Hanson this month about the company she keeps
11:46
Speaker 2: about Hanson hob nobbing in London with convicted thug Tommy Robinson,
11:50
Speaker 2: the dodgy anti margrant extremist.
11:54
Speaker 6: Pauline Hanson has traveled overseas to engage in various activities
12:00
Speaker 6: with fringe people. I don't think that's appropriate.
12:05
Speaker 2: Now, as you know, I criticize Hansen myself for meeting
12:08
Speaker 2: Robinson because I don't fight for size, but for principles.
12:13
Speaker 2: No double standards here, which is why I can say
12:17
Speaker 2: again the Prime Minister is a hypocrite. Albanizi has himself
12:21
Speaker 2: engaged with fringe people, far left anti Zionis extremest, such
12:26
Speaker 2: as podcaster Abby Chatfield, now under far from Jewish groups
12:30
Speaker 2: are spreading hatred against Jews who believe in Israel's right
12:33
Speaker 2: to exist. And then there's Albanizi engaging with another hard
12:38
Speaker 2: left anti Israel podcaster, Hannah Ferguson, seen here on the right,
12:43
Speaker 2: granting her an interview and chatting like friends, chatting with
12:47
Speaker 2: a woman who has since written about the assassination of
12:50
Speaker 2: Christian activists and Trump supporter Charlie Kirk, saying is we
12:55
Speaker 2: asking is violence sometimes necessary? Yes? Yes, she said, Well
13:02
Speaker 2: that caused an outrage, leading Ferguson to defend.
13:05
Speaker 9: It like this.
13:07
Speaker 10: The only purpose of this line was to acknowledge the
13:10
Speaker 10: reality that throughout history there have been times when an
13:13
Speaker 10: oppressed group has needed to engage in acts of resistance.
13:17
Speaker 10: The immediate follow up to that line is that this
13:20
Speaker 10: act of political violence is not one of progress, It
13:23
Speaker 10: is not one to be condoned.
13:27
Speaker 11: Hmm.
13:29
Speaker 2: In fact, Ferguson didn't actually read out all of that
13:31
Speaker 2: next senses she wrote in that article, which copped her
13:35
Speaker 2: a lot of flag yes, she did indeed say yes,
13:38
Speaker 2: you know, you know she didn't necessarily condone it. But
13:43
Speaker 2: then she did say there was indeed a real debate
13:48
Speaker 2: of whether the left could justify assassinating Charlie Kirk. She wrote,
13:52
Speaker 2: is this an act of political Is this act of
13:54
Speaker 2: political violence an active progress?
13:56
Speaker 9: No?
13:57
Speaker 2: Do I understand and respect many of the progressors who
14:01
Speaker 2: disagree with me? Yes, yes, this Haliferguson respects. Progressive respects
14:10
Speaker 2: barbarians of the left who say the murder of a
14:12
Speaker 2: Christian activist is an act of progress. And now this
14:16
Speaker 2: bigot platform by the Prime minister, how about polic justice?
14:20
Speaker 2: And now turned against Alban Easy and says you've run
14:22
Speaker 2: against him in his seat because he is supposedly too
14:25
Speaker 2: soft on Israel. This woman who's hehrself calls the terrorism
14:29
Speaker 2: against Israel just armed resistance PINE a press group, you know,
14:34
Speaker 2: a movement for Palestinian liberation. I wonder where that's all
14:39
Speaker 2: going now. No criticism I can see in her run
14:41
Speaker 2: is for their master terrorist group. So Handsome consorts with
14:45
Speaker 2: Tommy Robinson.
14:46
Speaker 12: Not good.
14:48
Speaker 2: Alban Easy consorts and helps create Hannah Ferguson just as
14:53
Speaker 2: bad and worse for being so close to home. Pauline
14:56
Speaker 2: Hanson may have a fault. She does have a fault.
15:00
Speaker 2: Anthony alban Easy is their last man to point them
15:03
Speaker 2: out to our panel. In the huge drama of Victoria
15:12
Speaker 2: Australi's was Premier, Victoria's just Into Allen was sold this
15:15
Speaker 2: morning by a delegation of six ministers from all factions
15:20
Speaker 2: to go. She'd lost in the support of most of
15:22
Speaker 2: her MP's. They told her to what she replied, make
15:25
Speaker 2: me I'm staying so there will be a vote tomorrow.
15:28
Speaker 2: You'd expect with a Deputy Ben Carol and the Laybright
15:30
Speaker 2: turning from mouse to challenger. He's told Alan personally this
15:34
Speaker 2: morning he will stand against her, just six weeks after
15:37
Speaker 2: telling us very teary moving stories of how we never
15:41
Speaker 2: would do such a thing, which the Liberals have really
15:43
Speaker 2: turned into an ad.
15:46
Speaker 13: For years. Ben Carroll stood by just Into Alan.
15:49
Speaker 1: I've got a young daughter at home and I'm going
15:51
Speaker 1: to be more proud to make sure she grows up
15:53
Speaker 1: knowing that I supported just Into Allen.
15:56
Speaker 13: When the cost of living capt rising, he stood by her.
16:00
Speaker 13: Crime got worse. He stood by her. Then he looked
16:03
Speaker 13: her in the eye and gave her his word.
16:06
Speaker 14: A you're going to ask her to step aside.
16:07
Speaker 2: No, can you look her in the eye and so
16:09
Speaker 2: I can look you in the eye.
16:11
Speaker 13: Premier today, he's trying to get rid of her. Labor divided, dishonest, destructed.
16:20
Speaker 2: Now this comes as a news put today showed the
16:22
Speaker 2: Coalition now ahead of Labor and one nation interesting dropped
16:27
Speaker 2: way back to nineteen percent, which is punishment for still
16:30
Speaker 2: being ghost parted, with no leader, no policies, and just
16:33
Speaker 2: one declared candidate. After preferences, the Coalition leads Labor by
16:37
Speaker 2: fifty two forty eight, which I have to say is
16:39
Speaker 2: still a very narrow lead when Labor is so utterly hopeless,
16:43
Speaker 2: leaving the state with the worst unemployment, the highest debt,
16:46
Speaker 2: and the most outrageous corruption scandal. In fact, he's a
16:50
Speaker 2: scary scenario for the Coalition, which tomorrow plans to move
16:53
Speaker 2: emotion and no confidence and just into Allen's government. What
16:56
Speaker 2: if some Labor and Peace vote with the Coalition to
17:00
Speaker 2: have that path and thus force an early election for
17:05
Speaker 2: Labor under a new leader and with one nation with
17:08
Speaker 2: his pants around its ankles. Join me, Michael Kroger, former
17:12
Speaker 2: President of the Victorian Liberals, and Steve Conroy, Former Labor
17:15
Speaker 2: Senator and Cabinet minister Stephen Conroy. I have to congratulate you.
17:18
Speaker 2: You've got half your wish already. You have now helped
17:21
Speaker 2: whipped up that challenge to send Alan after weeks on
17:25
Speaker 2: the show of advocating for it. Now will you get
17:28
Speaker 2: the rest of the deal? Will she be gone?
17:31
Speaker 14: Well? Looks obviously a very challenging time for anybody, and
17:35
Speaker 14: I've lived through a number of leadership challenges and I've
17:38
Speaker 14: been on the winning and losing side. It's very difficult
17:40
Speaker 14: for the candidate to who is told that they've lost
17:43
Speaker 14: the support of their caucus, their party room, and that
17:48
Speaker 14: really takes a little bit of time to adjust to.
17:51
Speaker 14: So I'm not privy to her thinking tonight. I think
17:55
Speaker 14: there's been a very strong signal sent by an overwhelming
17:59
Speaker 14: majority of the corpse. I'd like to see a change,
18:02
Speaker 14: and I hope that the Premier understands that it's time.
18:08
Speaker 14: I mean, I thought one of the best lines I
18:09
Speaker 14: thought today was Kars Starmer understood when he lost the
18:11
Speaker 14: room it was time to move on. And I hope
18:14
Speaker 14: she takes the lead from Kaarstarmer.
18:18
Speaker 2: Well, Michael, You've got to say if she doesn't. Labor
18:22
Speaker 2: really is in a hole. She'll putsself above party because
18:26
Speaker 2: if it's a contest, then the members, Labor members have
18:30
Speaker 2: to be a consultant too, They have to vote, they
18:33
Speaker 2: get fifty percent. Say that would take two months, with
18:35
Speaker 2: say the election only four months away, do you recoon
18:38
Speaker 2: it'll come to that.
18:41
Speaker 1: No, there's no chance for coming to that at all, Andrew,
18:43
Speaker 1: the zero chance. Daniel Andrews will tell just Cina Ellen
18:46
Speaker 1: not to do that because it'll damage his legacy as well.
18:50
Speaker 1: So she's going to lose tomorrow, and so she should.
18:52
Speaker 1: What gob smacks me is the fact that she's still
18:54
Speaker 1: contesting the leadership. I mean, Victoria is bankrupt, corrupt.
19:00
Speaker 5: And lawless.
19:02
Speaker 1: Crime's out of control. Dead is the highest ever, and
19:06
Speaker 1: we've got these shocking corruption allegations. She's got a seventy
19:09
Speaker 1: one percent disapproval rating. There's a bombshell article in The
19:14
Speaker 1: Age tonight written by Nick mackenzie saying she was alleging
19:18
Speaker 1: that she was warned about big bill corruption in twenty
19:22
Speaker 1: twenty three, which she's denied. But Mackenzie's been pretty and
19:26
Speaker 1: Rooney been pretty spot on so far. It's gobsmaking. Andrew
19:29
Speaker 1: that she is still resisting now are historical precedents, of course.
19:34
Speaker 1: Hawk was asked in ninety one to stand in by
19:38
Speaker 1: five ministers. He ignored them. Snedden was asked to stand
19:40
Speaker 1: in as seventy four by six bank betches. He ignored them.
19:43
Speaker 1: She's ignored six ministers and two factional chiefs today and
19:46
Speaker 1: she's solidering on. But it's inconceivable she'll win tomorrow. I mean,
19:51
Speaker 1: I've said to you last week, when you drive the
19:53
Speaker 1: bus towards the cliff and you put your foot on
19:54
Speaker 1: the accelerator, which she's done, label will take you out
19:57
Speaker 1: of the driver's seat. For her to we tomorrow would
20:00
Speaker 1: be a catastrophe for Labor, great for the Liberal Party,
20:04
Speaker 1: bad for Labor, and a disaster for Victoria. So she's
20:08
Speaker 1: the worst premier I've ever seen. And I've been watching
20:11
Speaker 1: politics for fifty years and Jess Wilson's one of the
20:14
Speaker 1: best things I've seen for a long time. She'd be
20:16
Speaker 1: a great premier. And God does Victoria need a change
20:20
Speaker 1: of government.
20:20
Speaker 2: Andrew but Stephen, I kind of like the look of
20:27
Speaker 2: Ben Carroll, fresh face to not the crazy left. But
20:31
Speaker 2: still he was sitting there, his deputy Premier nodding along
20:35
Speaker 2: as she center Allen did all this, When are we
20:38
Speaker 2: supposed to believe that if he replaces her, that this
20:42
Speaker 2: is a different labor party that doesn't have dirty hands
20:46
Speaker 2: from the corruption scandals. Didn't sit there doing nothing while
20:50
Speaker 2: I reported fifteen billion dollars was stolen from taxpayers, that
20:56
Speaker 2: somehow this is a fresh start.
20:58
Speaker 14: Well, I think Ben will be able to speak for
21:02
Speaker 14: himself tomorrow, but it's already been heavily speculated that he
21:06
Speaker 14: believes there should be a Royal commission. There was debating
21:09
Speaker 14: cabinet today for the first time, pushing back on the
21:13
Speaker 14: position that there shouldn't be. So I think you'll see
21:17
Speaker 14: that there's a significant change coming if Ben is successful tomorrow.
21:26
Speaker 14: And I think you'll see he's already shown that he's
21:31
Speaker 14: tough when, as I think others have said, he stood
21:34
Speaker 14: up to Daniel Andrews when Andrews tried to install both
21:38
Speaker 14: the premier and the deputy premier last time, and he
21:41
Speaker 14: stood up.
21:42
Speaker 2: To Daniel Andrews.
21:44
Speaker 14: I think he's also very much been tougher on law
21:48
Speaker 14: and order issues than the government's position.
21:52
Speaker 2: You won't be aware of all the things, even toughest,
21:54
Speaker 2: not the word tough is not the word normally associated
21:58
Speaker 2: with him. He's squibbed few other chances to challenge her.
22:02
Speaker 2: You know that as well. I think you were tearing
22:04
Speaker 2: your hair out about six weeks ago that he didn't
22:08
Speaker 2: he didn't do that, and he sat there while all
22:11
Speaker 2: this is going on, all very well to say right now,
22:14
Speaker 2: oh well, it should have a Royal commission after the
22:16
Speaker 2: damage is done, after the horse has bolted, and after
22:19
Speaker 2: the you know, while Labour now can rig the rules
22:22
Speaker 2: of the Royal Commission to make sure it doesn't dig
22:24
Speaker 2: too deep. But here there's another thing before I run
22:27
Speaker 2: out of time, Michael, that Polo showed you. That Polo
22:31
Speaker 2: showed you showing that the one nation vote has suddenly
22:35
Speaker 2: dropped to ninety percent. It's still very healthy, but you know,
22:38
Speaker 2: we're talking about a party that some Poles had in
22:40
Speaker 2: front of Labor and the coalition. Now it's a distant third.
22:43
Speaker 2: What are the lessons there for the coalition around the country.
22:47
Speaker 1: Well, you don't like disagreeing with Near's poll, but that
22:51
Speaker 1: doesn't seem right to me. That don't seem have gone
22:53
Speaker 1: from high twenties to nineteen overnight. But what it tells
22:56
Speaker 1: you is this that if you've got no leader, no
22:58
Speaker 1: policies in virtually no candidates, and you're four months before
23:01
Speaker 1: the state election, you need to get your running shoes on.
23:03
Speaker 1: I mean, it's passing strangers. They still have twenty percent
23:08
Speaker 1: Andrew when you've got nothing out there. So they need
23:12
Speaker 1: a leader quickly. They need policies quickly if they're going
23:15
Speaker 1: to be competitive in win seats. Good for the Liberal
23:16
Speaker 1: Party because that vote comes back to us. And what
23:18
Speaker 1: you don't want Victoria's to have a result where Jess
23:22
Speaker 1: Wilson has a minority. I mean she needs to win
23:24
Speaker 1: sixteen seats and not losing you to win government in
23:26
Speaker 1: her own right. And that's desperately what we were desperately
23:29
Speaker 1: hope for. But the lesson is you've got to have
23:31
Speaker 1: policies and One Nation in Victoria don't seem to have any,
23:33
Speaker 1: and that's one of their problems.
23:36
Speaker 2: Steve Conry, do you believe that pole?
23:39
Speaker 14: Look, I thought it was a little soft in the
23:41
Speaker 14: one nation vote. I think Jess has done an excellent job.
23:45
Speaker 14: She's taken over. You've just seen how maturely she's managed
23:49
Speaker 14: the more redeeming debacle. She didn't fly off. She was
23:54
Speaker 14: steady composed, dealt with a very challenging situation. So I
23:58
Speaker 14: think she's begun to impressed the electorates. I've always believed that.
24:02
Speaker 14: I've said that from the day she was elected she
24:03
Speaker 14: was their best choice, and she's proved that so far.
24:07
Speaker 14: But the real test will come over the next four months.
24:10
Speaker 14: But she's made a very very good start, and I
24:12
Speaker 14: think that's one of the reasons why the Labor caucus
24:16
Speaker 14: as concerned as it has been. Our polling has been
24:19
Speaker 14: down in the mid twenties, and it's difficult to win
24:23
Speaker 14: an election when you've got a primary twenty five, twenty six,
24:27
Speaker 14: twenty seven.
24:29
Speaker 2: Yes, Yet I don't think the gap is so big
24:32
Speaker 2: that Labor couldn't overtake the coalition again with a great campaign.
24:39
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I don't think it deserves to win,
24:42
Speaker 2: but I wouldn't rule it out. Michael KROEGISCEPHN Connor, thank
24:44
Speaker 2: you very much to you both. Remember Pauline Hanson will
24:47
Speaker 2: be in the studio tomorrow night with Paul Murray. Answering
24:50
Speaker 2: your questions are very special. Ask me anything, which after
24:52
Speaker 2: this week I think is an absolute must watch. Ask
24:56
Speaker 2: me anything, Pauline Hanson please explain do not miss it
25:00
Speaker 2: tomorrow night at nine pm after the break China's latest
25:04
Speaker 2: potential weapons, while America meanwhile stops bombing around because reports
25:10
Speaker 2: say it runs short of ammunition. Can they be true?
25:19
Speaker 2: There are a couple of Taiwanese high tech experts over
25:23
Speaker 2: in Taiwan who get upset when I mentioned Chinese technological advances. Oh,
25:30
Speaker 2: it's all rubbish, it's Ai stuff that you're falling for,
25:33
Speaker 2: or it's a high gloss paint over russ. But nevertheless,
25:38
Speaker 2: let me point out this Chinese robotics companies. They keep
25:41
Speaker 2: unveiling new robots with it seems incredible new abilities, like
25:45
Speaker 2: this robot dog that's now made by Unitary, which just
25:50
Speaker 2: makes me imagine what it could do if converted by
25:54
Speaker 2: China's military into another one of its so called combat wolves.
25:59
Speaker 2: Makes me under again China's threat And where in this
26:04
Speaker 2: new kind of war are our Australian defense forces. Now
26:08
Speaker 2: China's not used, by the way, a single missile or
26:12
Speaker 2: drone in the war in Ukraine and now the war
26:15
Speaker 2: in Iran. It's steady, steadily building and building, while the
26:18
Speaker 2: US now in Iran in particular is firing so many
26:21
Speaker 2: munitions there that there are now reports that there's a
26:25
Speaker 2: shortage of air defenses in particular, and this is why
26:28
Speaker 2: the US has not just pause attacks in Iran for
26:32
Speaker 2: the past three days, but also called off a full
26:37
Speaker 2: scale assault on Iran. That pause alone is sure of
26:40
Speaker 2: because it comes just after Trump last Thursday seemed about
26:43
Speaker 2: to launch that all out war, telling axios, I am
26:47
Speaker 2: considering a massive attack, bigger than ever before. I'm close
26:51
Speaker 2: to making a decision. We're all set for it now.
26:55
Speaker 2: But Trump is now saying, oh no, no, no, no,
26:57
Speaker 2: This story about US running out of munitions is all wrong.
26:59
Speaker 2: The US more weapons than it needs. Joining me, is
27:02
Speaker 2: the country soft? Foreign afairs writer Greg Sheridan of The Australian, Greg,
27:05
Speaker 2: great to see you again. Is the US really running
27:08
Speaker 2: out of some munitions while Chine's increasing its own, Because
27:11
Speaker 2: if that's true, this is a very frightening place for
27:15
Speaker 2: the US to be and for the West as well well. Andrew,
27:20
Speaker 2: great to be with you.
27:21
Speaker 12: The sad news is they are indeed running out of munitions.
27:25
Speaker 12: They're not running out in the sense that the closet
27:28
Speaker 12: is going to be bear, but the reserves are low
27:32
Speaker 12: and they're using them at a vastly faster rate than
27:35
Speaker 12: they can replace them. So they're not supplying patriots to Ukraine,
27:41
Speaker 12: for example, And one of the reasons is because they
27:44
Speaker 12: say they can't spare any They've taken military assets from
27:48
Speaker 12: Korea and elsewhere in Asia because they need them in
27:53
Speaker 12: the Middle East.
27:54
Speaker 2: Now, our stupid, holy.
27:56
Speaker 12: Fatuous, ridiculous government years ago decided not to order missile
28:02
Speaker 12: defenses until it had its air combat battle management plan
28:07
Speaker 12: all in place, and as a result, we didn't get
28:10
Speaker 12: on the queue. Well, we finally did order them some
28:14
Speaker 12: months ago, but we are so now, so far at
28:18
Speaker 12: the end of such a long queue that you know,
28:22
Speaker 12: God knows when, if ever we'll get them. But it
28:25
Speaker 12: is the case even the United States, great nation that
28:28
Speaker 12: it is, has not produced a war economy. You know,
28:31
Speaker 12: the Pentagon had all sorts of rules that couldn't make
28:34
Speaker 12: multiple year orders and all this sort of thing. And
28:37
Speaker 12: not one country in the West outside of Israel has
28:40
Speaker 12: made the investment in military that it needs to, whereas China, Russia,
28:46
Speaker 12: North Korea and Iran they built wartime economies. So we
28:51
Speaker 12: are we are, you know, in an analogous situation of
28:54
Speaker 12: the Allies in about nine Pino thirty seven.
29:00
Speaker 2: Strange in nineteen ninety one, after the First Gulf War,
29:02
Speaker 2: American knocking over Iraq just like that. You know, people
29:09
Speaker 2: thought the US would never be challenged in our lifetime,
29:12
Speaker 2: and now with asymmetrical warfare, he can't even knock over
29:15
Speaker 2: in Iran after months. It's we are in a different
29:19
Speaker 2: paradigm now. Now we've always said, Greg that these big
29:23
Speaker 2: wars are linked, the one in Ukraine and the one
29:25
Speaker 2: in Iran, with the Iranians, of Russians, and China all
29:31
Speaker 2: helping each other out. Now those wars have joined up
29:35
Speaker 2: because Ukraine has sent a drone all the way to
29:37
Speaker 2: the Caspian Sea to hit an Iranian ship one sailor
29:41
Speaker 2: killed Iran threatening revenge run. They've done this because it
29:44
Speaker 2: runs me sending drones to Russia and me getting Russian
29:47
Speaker 2: intelligence help in return to fight the US. What is
29:50
Speaker 2: going on with this particular attack and what do you
29:52
Speaker 2: expect the outcome to be?
29:55
Speaker 12: Well, this is truly fascinating. Andrew one other final point
29:58
Speaker 12: on Trump said he was about to do a massive attack.
30:02
Speaker 12: I thought then that meant no massive attack was coming.
30:05
Speaker 12: We've talked about this before. Whenever Trump publicly talks about
30:09
Speaker 12: a big military action, it actually never happens. He thinks
30:12
Speaker 12: he's threatening and bargaining that way, but everybody can pick that. Now,
30:18
Speaker 12: Ukraine's action in knocking out an Iranian ship taking supplies
30:22
Speaker 12: to Russia, taking military supplies to Russia is fascinating has
30:25
Speaker 12: direct application to us because one of the excuses the
30:30
Speaker 12: you know, for folks at Fort Fumble used to put
30:34
Speaker 12: for us not having a big investment in drones is
30:37
Speaker 12: that we are a maritime nation and drones like they
30:43
Speaker 12: use in Ukraine for land warfare between militaries that are
30:48
Speaker 12: close to each other.
30:49
Speaker 2: But Ukraine has.
30:50
Speaker 12: Shown that you can destroy a ship two thousand kilometers
30:53
Speaker 12: away with clever drones. Now, why aren't we the absolute
31:00
Speaker 12: state of the art in clever drones that have maritime
31:03
Speaker 12: application two thousand kilometers away from our shore. Well, there's
31:08
Speaker 12: no answer to that question. But the simple truth is
31:10
Speaker 12: we're not state of the art. We're nowhere in that
31:14
Speaker 12: whole equation. But this has changed the nature of war fundamentally.
31:19
Speaker 12: The combination of Iran, North Korea, Russia and China. That's
31:23
Speaker 12: why Iran is still in this fight. That's why Iran's
31:26
Speaker 12: missiles are now more accurate than they were at the
31:28
Speaker 12: start of this war. They're getting targeting information from Russia
31:33
Speaker 12: and probably from China. They're getting missile resupplied from Russia
31:37
Speaker 12: and probably from China. This is a very nasty world
31:41
Speaker 12: with terrible enemies. And you know, we have the ruling
31:45
Speaker 12: conference of our ruling party talks all about I don't know,
31:50
Speaker 12: net zero and identity politics. You know, the last thing
31:53
Speaker 12: it talks about is this urgent national security situation.
31:59
Speaker 2: And it stabs Israel in the back, of course as
32:01
Speaker 2: well for resisting what's going on and resisting the pressure
32:08
Speaker 2: the attempt by Iran to develop a nuclear weapon. We
32:11
Speaker 2: passed LITM. You know, the government gives issues press releases,
32:14
Speaker 2: Oh they shouldn't do that, doesn't do a thing to
32:16
Speaker 2: supper it, of course, and condemns Israel when it does. Yeah,
32:20
Speaker 2: that's right.
32:20
Speaker 12: I mean, the one sided the condemnation of Israel while
32:24
Speaker 12: withdrawing its demand that Hamas disarmed is kind of pathetic.
32:27
Speaker 12: It's morally bankrupt, and it's shameful. It is really shameful.
32:31
Speaker 12: But what strikes me about it is it's very much
32:34
Speaker 12: on a par with Andy Burnham, who made one foreign
32:37
Speaker 12: policy statement before he became Prime Minister, which was to
32:40
Speaker 12: say he was sorry that the Labor Party had been
32:43
Speaker 12: too weak in abusing Israel and hadn't been strong enough
32:47
Speaker 12: in supporting the Palestinians. And we're seeing the same now
32:50
Speaker 12: amongst the Democrats in the United States. I've got a
32:53
Speaker 12: big piece in the paper tomorrow talking about the Democratic
32:56
Speaker 12: Socialists of America.
32:58
Speaker 2: They are winning now all the Democrat primaries.
33:00
Speaker 12: Zorin Mamdani, all his candidates are winning primaries all over
33:05
Speaker 12: the United States. So the center left is collapsing into
33:09
Speaker 12: a populist and extremist left which is concerned with Gaza,
33:14
Speaker 12: demonizing Israel, demonizing America, identity politics. And of course our
33:20
Speaker 12: local left wingers are completely derivative of what happens in
33:23
Speaker 12: London and New York and.
33:26
Speaker 2: Very big demonising, demonising capitalism as well. I mean, just
33:32
Speaker 2: the this is a massive tantrum from overgrown children against daddy.
33:37
Speaker 2: That's really what it is. Greg Sheridan, I can't wait
33:40
Speaker 2: to read that piece because that is a front and development.
33:43
Speaker 2: Thank you for your time. After the break, the ABC's
33:46
Speaker 2: bosses defend their violent pornographic abuse of Gina Reinhardt, which
33:51
Speaker 2: should make everyone wonder how sick is the national broadcast.
34:02
Speaker 2: I cannot believe that the ABC's management has now endorsed
34:07
Speaker 2: this disgusting and pornographically violent abuse of minor Gina Reinhardt
34:13
Speaker 2: that I showed you last week, a pre recorded segment
34:16
Speaker 2: from the ABC's Race Around the World.
34:20
Speaker 8: Because when the revolution comes, will you hide under your
34:24
Speaker 8: bed or will you know exactly how to shove a
34:28
Speaker 8: stick right off Gena Reinhart's butthole, stirring it around, mixing
34:34
Speaker 8: her guts up nice and smooth, making her into one
34:38
Speaker 8: big sausage role to make something out of nothing.
34:47
Speaker 2: Anyone remotely civilized should say that's disgusting. That shouldn't be
34:51
Speaker 2: on the ABC funderby taxpayers instead. This is the official
34:57
Speaker 2: ABC response. The film was intended to be satirical in
35:01
Speaker 2: tone and consider to be editorially justifiable within the context
35:07
Speaker 2: of the program. That's an ABC ruling that this dream
35:12
Speaker 2: of sodomizing a prominent woman and turning a guts to
35:16
Speaker 2: paste is editorially justifiable ABC standards. And I bet that's
35:22
Speaker 2: because Ryan Added is a conservative. The ABC says no,
35:24
Speaker 2: this is because it's satire, too stupid to realize there
35:28
Speaker 2: is actually a difference between satire and abuse. Joining me
35:33
Speaker 2: a Holly Hughes, former Liberal senator now with One Nation,
35:36
Speaker 2: and Lisa Goddard form a foreign correspondent, founder of It
35:39
Speaker 2: Only Media. Lisa the response to the ABC.
35:42
Speaker 9: What does that tell you, Andrew, it's selected outrage of
35:45
Speaker 9: what we're seeing. Well, first of all, their decision is
35:47
Speaker 9: just disgusting. We spoke about this last week, as you said,
35:50
Speaker 9: and it is repugnant and as repulsive as it was
35:52
Speaker 9: back then as it is tonight. But the editorial judgment
35:55
Speaker 9: is the satire that I think most of strains would look.
35:58
Speaker 9: I think I don't know how our public broadcaster can
36:01
Speaker 9: come to that decision, because we all know this isn't
36:03
Speaker 9: just one person making that decision. This went through many,
36:06
Speaker 9: many layers of approval to get to this point. But
36:08
Speaker 9: let's flip over to labor. Labor have been incredibly silent
36:11
Speaker 9: on this. You think back to the ditch, the witch
36:13
Speaker 9: attack on Jacinta Allen. You had the Prime Minister, he
36:16
Speaker 9: had Julia Gillard. They couldn't get out there fast enough
36:19
Speaker 9: and loud enough to bang that drum.
36:21
Speaker 11: And some would argue.
36:22
Speaker 9: Rightfully so, but on this it's crickets. Where are they
36:25
Speaker 9: at the time Albaneze, he said that no one in
36:27
Speaker 9: politics should be treated that way. He used all manner
36:30
Speaker 9: of adjectives. I haven't heard him on this one at all.
36:32
Speaker 9: That's a question that needs to be asked. And the
36:34
Speaker 9: other one, how much did we pay or are we
36:37
Speaker 9: paying as taxpayers for this race around the world that
36:40
Speaker 9: very few people are watching, but a lot of people
36:43
Speaker 9: are offended by, particularly missus Reinhardt.
36:47
Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you what I want to know. Where
36:50
Speaker 2: the Minister for Women, Katie Gallener is I mean quit
36:54
Speaker 2: a roll or whatever I mean? Harley Hughes, what do
36:57
Speaker 2: you make of this? I mean, it seems to me
37:00
Speaker 2: just beyond question that that sort of thing should not
37:03
Speaker 2: be on TV. It is not satire, But for the
37:07
Speaker 2: ABC to put it to air with our money, it's
37:11
Speaker 2: just such an insult.
37:13
Speaker 15: But it just shows the absolute lack of intellectual depth
37:16
Speaker 15: that we now see at the AB. Say, remember Clark
37:19
Speaker 15: of Dora and their satire and how funny that was, and.
37:24
Speaker 11: How satire said that was satire.
37:27
Speaker 15: Remember it was even the ABC that did Utopia, which,
37:30
Speaker 15: by the way, as the show I can't watch because
37:32
Speaker 15: it gives me PTSD because it's how it actually works
37:35
Speaker 15: in departments. But that is satire, at least supposed to be.
37:40
Speaker 11: That was witty and it was clever, and everyone knew
37:43
Speaker 11: what it was. This is just vile.
37:46
Speaker 15: It is absolutely hateful, and I mean, I am just
37:49
Speaker 15: perplexed at why this hate for Gina Reinhart is allowed
37:53
Speaker 15: to continue. When I was in the Senate, I spoke
37:56
Speaker 15: a number of times both acknowledging and congratulate dating Missus
38:00
Speaker 15: rehin Hart for her support of so many of our
38:03
Speaker 15: Olympic athletes and the fact that you know, swimming Australian
38:06
Speaker 15: now don't want athletes thanking Missus rhin Hart for the
38:10
Speaker 15: monetary gifts she provides them should they win medals.
38:13
Speaker 11: This is a great Australian who supports Australians.
38:16
Speaker 15: Gets behind our athletes, gets behind Australian business, yet is
38:21
Speaker 15: constantly I'm not.
38:24
Speaker 2: I know, I'm not compelling Australians to like Gina Reheinhart, right, but.
38:29
Speaker 11: It's friend of mine Hart.
38:32
Speaker 2: But this abuse, I wouldn't use it against any of
38:36
Speaker 2: the Greens for them and say that's my standard dream
38:40
Speaker 2: of using it.
38:42
Speaker 11: You know, maybe there's some oh my god, it might
38:45
Speaker 11: be interested in it, you know, But I mean if that.
38:48
Speaker 2: Well, I got to ask, you know, speaking of that
38:56
Speaker 2: exactly thing. Here we have Hanson facing hundreds of thousand
39:02
Speaker 2: dollars of cord costs Lisa for saying, you know, pisce
39:06
Speaker 2: off where you come from, the ABC says something far
39:09
Speaker 2: worse about Gina Rahna. Well, that's okay, that's ABC standards.
39:13
Speaker 2: But about that court decision, what do you make of that?
39:17
Speaker 2: Because I thought a law against saying that. I mean, wow,
39:22
Speaker 2: we yeah, yeah.
39:24
Speaker 9: Look, and Andrew, you showed the pictures earlier tonight of
39:27
Speaker 9: Pauline Hanson's reaction when she got the first decision from
39:30
Speaker 9: the court and how she broke down, so you can
39:31
Speaker 9: only imagine the state that she's in tonight. So I
39:34
Speaker 9: think James Ashby said they've got six months before they
39:36
Speaker 9: can hopefully take this to the High Court. But he
39:39
Speaker 9: said just earlier on Kredlin's program, they're looking at a
39:42
Speaker 9: legal bill of around two million dollars. Now, as you say,
39:46
Speaker 9: how do I feel about this? I think that's a
39:48
Speaker 9: question you could ask most Australians because at this point,
39:51
Speaker 9: all this is going to do is put more people
39:53
Speaker 9: in behind Pauline Hanson because they'll be so terrified. They
39:56
Speaker 9: don't have two million dollars in their back pocket to
39:58
Speaker 9: try to fight this to protect themselves. And yet if
40:01
Speaker 9: they speak up, or they say what they think, or
40:03
Speaker 9: they say something that's going to offend or distress somebody,
40:06
Speaker 9: then they could very well find themselves in this exact position.
40:09
Speaker 9: So I just think Marine Feruki has pushed this and
40:12
Speaker 9: pushed us and pushed this. What she has done, I
40:14
Speaker 9: think is just build a stronger base for one notion,
40:17
Speaker 9: for Pauline Hansen. And I don't think she'll give up
40:19
Speaker 9: this fight, and nor should she.
40:22
Speaker 2: Only I've only got half a minute, but I need
40:24
Speaker 2: to ask you about this judgment.
40:26
Speaker 11: Oh, it's appalling, absolutely appalling.
40:28
Speaker 15: Offense is taken, not given, and the fact that it
40:31
Speaker 15: is written into our laws. No one took Marine Feriki
40:34
Speaker 15: to court when she stood next to her sign that
40:37
Speaker 15: said keep the world clean with Israeli flag in the bin,
40:42
Speaker 15: the offense that she must have caused to Jewish Australians
40:45
Speaker 15: when she has purportedly said all of these genocide and
40:48
Speaker 15: apartheit comments with.
40:51
Speaker 11: Regards to Israel, yet no one's taken her to court.
40:54
Speaker 15: It only seems to be the left who are the
40:56
Speaker 15: offense brigade and then absolutely weaponize it through the legal system.
41:00
Speaker 15: I think it's disgraceful. I remember communicating with paul Aine
41:03
Speaker 15: that night that you spoke to her, and I look
41:07
Speaker 15: forward to standing with her and thanks Marine. Really appreciate
41:09
Speaker 15: the extra members we're going to get joining one nation.
41:14
Speaker 2: Well. I hope it works out the way because I
41:16
Speaker 2: hate these restrictions and free speech and the disparity between
41:20
Speaker 2: the ABC saying what it said about Gina Reinhardt, that's
41:23
Speaker 2: perfectly fine, and they're more innocuous comment by Pauline Hansen
41:27
Speaker 2: that's two million dollars in court costs. It's just it's
41:31
Speaker 2: a ludicrous. If people think it's all rigged, they've got it.
41:34
Speaker 2: Holly Hues, Lisa God, thank you so much for your time.
41:38
Speaker 2: After the break in London, gay activist protests for Palestine
41:42
Speaker 2: in Berlin. Meanwhile, at the very same day, a pro
41:44
Speaker 2: Palestine extremist runs Gaze down in another terror attack. How
41:49
Speaker 2: blind is the gay movement. Look, it's been a joke
41:57
Speaker 2: in the past, right, you know, the Queers for Palestine
41:59
Speaker 2: Act of us left is so blind to the reality
42:03
Speaker 2: of Gaza territory run by homophobic gay murdering Hamas terrorists,
42:08
Speaker 2: the kind of people that throw gays off buildings. But
42:11
Speaker 2: last weekend the Joe got really sick. London held at
42:16
Speaker 2: Sanuel Gay Pride March, which featured the usual Israel haters.
42:21
Speaker 11: Like this.
42:23
Speaker 2: Palified Palified now Berlin on that very same day, Saturday
42:36
Speaker 2: also held at Gay Pride March, but this one was
42:40
Speaker 2: attacked by someone else protesting for Palestine. The twenty one
42:44
Speaker 2: year old German born son of Lebanese immigrants, an Islamic
42:48
Speaker 2: State supporter it seems, who ran his van into the crowd,
42:52
Speaker 2: killing at least one person and then getting out to
42:56
Speaker 2: stab some more. That killer was later shot dead when
42:59
Speaker 2: you rushed it please with a knife. But the ABC
43:02
Speaker 2: being the ABC, of course, to commentate on this. On
43:06
Speaker 2: AM this morning, it went to an Iranian born leftist
43:09
Speaker 2: activist and journalist in Berlin who worried not about Muslim extremists,
43:15
Speaker 2: but people who'd worry about some immigrant groups.
43:20
Speaker 16: What I also find really touching and moving is that
43:24
Speaker 16: the queer community, while mourning and while being in shock,
43:30
Speaker 16: they feel the urge to give statements that they don't
43:34
Speaker 16: want this brutal, alleged Islamist attack to be used to
43:39
Speaker 16: spread hatred against different minority groups.
43:46
Speaker 2: Joining me from London is Monday regular Talk TV host
43:50
Speaker 2: Samara Gil Samara, great to see you.
43:52
Speaker 1: Look.
43:53
Speaker 2: People talk about the suicidal empathy. There's some critics of
43:56
Speaker 2: the left that some of the in the left have
43:58
Speaker 2: suicidal empathy. That is it, I think, you know, embracing
44:03
Speaker 2: the kind of extremists who could kill.
44:05
Speaker 17: Them absolutely, Andrew, I mean, why do we put up
44:09
Speaker 17: with this? This is the same tolerant left that we
44:12
Speaker 17: have been warning time and time again that this would happen.
44:15
Speaker 17: You know, every weekend we see these marchers. They stick
44:18
Speaker 17: up for the same people that would gleefully ram a
44:21
Speaker 17: car into them with murderous intent. You know, this element
44:25
Speaker 17: of radical Islam, it's really wrapped its cold fingers around
44:28
Speaker 17: the neck of the West and I do feel, especially
44:31
Speaker 17: this weekend, like it has been strangling the last breath
44:34
Speaker 17: out of us.
44:35
Speaker 9: You know.
44:35
Speaker 17: They come for things like Christmas markets that represent Christianity,
44:40
Speaker 17: Pride marchers which represent freedom, children's dance halls, Axel Rudy Cabana,
44:45
Speaker 17: the Southport murderers found with an al Qaeda training manual
44:49
Speaker 17: beach parties like Hannakar by the Sea, where of course
44:53
Speaker 17: those Jewish people were shot like fish in a barrel.
44:56
Speaker 17: You know, festivals like the Nova Festival, which was of
44:59
Speaker 17: course October the seventh. Palestine is run by a far right,
45:03
Speaker 17: extremist conservative government. I do not understand why people like
45:08
Speaker 17: the pro Palestine, the Queers for Palestine crowd won't focus
45:12
Speaker 17: on acts like Armored Abu, who was a gay Palestinian
45:15
Speaker 17: who was beheaded in the West Bank in twenty twenty
45:18
Speaker 17: two after he tried to flee to Israel where he
45:21
Speaker 17: could have sexual freedoms. You know, this is the intolerant left,
45:26
Speaker 17: and unfortunately, You're right, it's come to bite them. Unfortunately
45:30
Speaker 17: what they keep supporting weekend after weekend, and people like
45:34
Speaker 17: you have been telling them for many years that these
45:37
Speaker 17: are not the people who are acting in your best interest.
45:42
Speaker 2: Look, it's interesting I heard some refreshing straight talking on Friday,
45:49
Speaker 2: not just from you, of course, but from a British
45:52
Speaker 2: judge who I thought really put this whole debate about
45:55
Speaker 2: immigration and values brilliantly. You know, contrary the Federal Court,
46:01
Speaker 2: it's not about racism. Now the judge I'm talking about
46:05
Speaker 2: it's actually the daughter of Indian immigrants. She's a Christian,
46:10
Speaker 2: and here she is sentencing a British born Pakistani man
46:13
Speaker 2: to life in jail for ploying with another to the
46:16
Speaker 2: men to attack British military facilities as well as the
46:19
Speaker 2: Jews in his jihad against Britain.
46:23
Speaker 18: Evdton, you are Manchester born and bred. You have not
46:28
Speaker 18: revealed what caused you to turn on the society that
46:31
Speaker 18: you had grown up in, gone to school and college in,
46:35
Speaker 18: worked in, and where your family was able to practice
46:39
Speaker 18: your religion in freedom and peace. You told the probation
46:43
Speaker 18: officer who prepared a presenter's report that the violence in
46:47
Speaker 18: Palestine angered and upset you, and led to you admiring
46:52
Speaker 18: and sharing the rhetoric that hate preachers like al Alaki
46:57
Speaker 18: used to poison minds. By August last year, you were
47:02
Speaker 18: close friends with a man who would soon go on
47:05
Speaker 18: to carry out an appalling terrorist attack targeting the Jewish
47:09
Speaker 18: community in your home city. Your interactions caught on video
47:14
Speaker 18: in the mosque on the ninth of August, show two
47:17
Speaker 18: equally engaged and enthusiastic men planning an atrocity against a
47:22
Speaker 18: British military facility for religious and political reasons. Your example
47:29
Speaker 18: must stand as a warning to men who are attracted
47:32
Speaker 18: by this form of militant, violent and destructive Islam for
47:36
Speaker 18: religious or political reasons. Character is contagious. In the Jewish
47:42
Speaker 18: Book of Proverbs thirteen, verse twenty, this is expressed bluntly.
47:47
Speaker 18: He that walks with wise men shall be wise, but
47:50
Speaker 18: a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
47:56
Speaker 2: Samari quitting the Jewish Book of Proverbs. Also in the
47:59
Speaker 2: Christian by a master stroke.
48:03
Speaker 17: Absolutely extremists. They like to claim that they represent faith,
48:06
Speaker 17: but that brilliant judge reminded the court that they embrace hatred,
48:10
Speaker 17: violence and murder, and those are condemned. Those are the
48:14
Speaker 17: sort of very moral traditions that they claim to defend.
48:17
Speaker 17: And I really really appreciated what that judge said.
48:20
Speaker 2: Andrew, Well, it shows that the doors are also open
48:25
Speaker 2: to people who share our values and we have no
48:29
Speaker 2: problems with them. That is the real issue. Samara Gil,
48:32
Speaker 2: thank you so much for your time. That's it for me.
48:35
Speaker 2: Coming up next on News twenty four is Sherry Maxon
48:38
Speaker 2: for me. Good night,
