- 0:00Speaker 1: General Man. Welcome the Late Bay.
- 0:06Speaker 2: Well, thanks for joining us.
- 0:07Speaker 3: I'm James Macpherson, with Joe Hildebrand and Liz Storer coming
- 0:11Speaker 3: up tonight. The Trump Dance has become even more popular
- 0:14Speaker 3: than the Macarena. We might even be able to get
- 0:16Speaker 3: Joe Hildebrand to do it a bit later. Plus, when
- 0:19Speaker 3: we look at the papers, Sydney residents told not to
- 0:22Speaker 3: wash their clothes or their dishes in order to conserve power.
- 0:27Speaker 3: I thought this was a first world country. And the
- 0:30Speaker 3: front page of the Canberra Times tomorrow details which government
- 0:33Speaker 3: department has increasing levels of harassment and bullying. We'll share
- 0:37Speaker 3: that with you a bit later when we get to
- 0:39Speaker 3: tomorrow's news.
- 0:40Speaker 2: But first some good news.
- 0:42Speaker 3: Should we dream for a moment that the woke mind
- 0:45Speaker 3: virus might just be on its deathbed. According to Pew Research,
- 0:49Speaker 3: fifty two percent of American workers have been trained in diversity,
- 0:53Speaker 3: equity and inclusion at a cost can you believe it
- 0:56Speaker 3: of eight billion dollars a year to industry. But DEI
- 1:01Speaker 3: policies popularized in twenty twenty after the death of George Floyd, Well,
- 1:06Speaker 3: they're starting to be wound back as people get sick
- 1:09Speaker 3: to death of being pitted against each other. Walmart is
- 1:13Speaker 3: the latest corporation to announce they are completely abandoning DEI policies,
- 1:18Speaker 3: and this is not a tweak. This is an absolute
- 1:21Speaker 3: overhaul of all of their policies.
- 1:23Speaker 2: Here's what they've announced.
- 1:24Speaker 3: They've announced that they will close down their Equity Racial Center,
- 1:28Speaker 3: which they established in twenty twenty at a cost of
- 1:30Speaker 3: one hundred million dollars.
- 1:32Speaker 2: That's gone.
- 1:33Speaker 3: They've said they're no longer going to take into account
- 1:35Speaker 3: the racial and gender mix of suppliers when ordering contracts.
- 1:41Speaker 3: They've said they're no longer going to monitor LGBTQ plus
- 1:44Speaker 3: inclusion in their workplace.
- 1:46Speaker 2: But more than that, they're going to.
- 1:48Speaker 3: Review the sponsorship of all Pride events, so they're not
- 1:51Speaker 3: financially supporting anything that sexualizes children, which basically means they
- 1:56Speaker 3: won't be supporting any Pride events. And on top of that,
- 1:59Speaker 3: they're reviewing all of their products and getting rid of
- 2:01Speaker 3: anything that sexualizes or promotes trans and non binary products
- 2:06Speaker 3: to children. Now bear in mind walpart Walmart employee one
- 2:11Speaker 3: point six one point eight million Americans, So this is
- 2:14Speaker 3: a big deal. But they're not the first company to
- 2:17Speaker 3: do this. The Ford Motor Company Low's, Boeing, Harley Davidson
- 2:22Speaker 3: have all announced prior to Walmart's announcement that they too
- 2:26Speaker 3: are abandoning DEI principles.
- 2:29Speaker 2: So, Joe and Liz, here's my question. Is this because
- 2:32Speaker 2: of Trump?
- 2:33Speaker 3: Or was this already happening and Trump kind of tapped
- 2:36Speaker 3: into a groundswell that existed already and is growing stronger,
- 2:40Speaker 3: not just in America but maybe here in Australia as well.
- 2:43Speaker 2: Dare we dream?
- 2:44Speaker 4: I think this was definitely already happening, as these companies
- 2:48Speaker 4: just came to bear with what they were actually doing
- 2:50Speaker 4: and going what are we getting out of this? It's
- 2:53Speaker 4: certainly not floating with our base. On top of the
- 2:56Speaker 4: companies that you've already listed, there's John Deere, tractor supply,
- 3:00Speaker 4: Molsen cause Jack Daniels, I think they've just realized we're
- 3:05Speaker 4: spending all these money on this DEI initiatives. It's simply
- 3:09Speaker 4: not floating with our customer base and perhaps just the
- 3:13Speaker 4: general question of what are we doing this anyway? Like
- 3:16Speaker 4: John Deere is a tractor company, what interest do you
- 3:20Speaker 4: have in DEI in preaching to people, whether it be
- 3:23Speaker 4: your employees or your clients, your customers about this kind
- 3:28Speaker 4: of thing. Also, what helps really get this on the
- 3:31Speaker 4: nose is a new study by a place called Network
- 3:35Speaker 4: Contagion Research Institute NCRII in America. They've done some study
- 3:41Speaker 4: on these DEI practices, which are very prolific, not just
- 3:46Speaker 4: in workplaces but in.
- 3:47Speaker 5: Schools, in universities, very.
- 3:49Speaker 4: Much in America and as we know here in Australia
- 3:52Speaker 4: as well.
- 3:54Speaker 5: So here's the guy who headed up this study. His
- 3:57Speaker 5: name is.
- 4:00Speaker 6: How do you know it?
- 4:00Speaker 5: To him, Liz Finkelstein, he said.
- 4:02Speaker 4: What we did in this study was we took a
- 4:05Speaker 4: lot of these ideas that were found to still be
- 4:08Speaker 4: very prominent in a lot of these DEI lectures and
- 4:11Speaker 4: interventions and training, and we said, well, how.
- 4:14Speaker 5: Is this going to affect people.
- 4:16Speaker 4: What we found is that when people are exposed to
- 4:19Speaker 4: this ideology, what happens is they become hostile, without any
- 4:24Speaker 4: indication that anything racist actually happened. These findings from this
- 4:30Speaker 4: research were so shocking and forceful that the author'smedia automatically
- 4:37Speaker 4: they'd use three hundred and twenty four participants in the
- 4:40Speaker 4: original piece of work in which they gave some people
- 4:45Speaker 4: just to completely race neutral piece of text on corn
- 4:49Speaker 4: of all topics to read, and then they gave other
- 4:53Speaker 4: participants these really race baty articles by well known Kendy
- 4:58Speaker 4: and DiAngelo, who you are really big on all things racism.
- 5:03Speaker 4: So they got all these participants together and then they
- 5:06Speaker 4: gave them a completely race neutral scenario in which a
- 5:11Speaker 4: student is rejected from college, and they ask for.
- 5:15Speaker 5: These people's responses.
- 5:18Speaker 4: Well, the research was absolutely comprehensive. The implications of these
- 5:25Speaker 4: findings can simply not be downplayed.
- 5:28Speaker 5: The research clearly showed that instead of.
- 5:31Speaker 4: Achieving equality dismantling systemic oppression, which is what all these
- 5:36Speaker 4: dei tichboxes are supposed to be doing, they may well,
- 5:42Speaker 4: in fact be deepening divisions and this cultural resentment between races.
- 5:49Speaker 4: So well done to all the corporations spending eight billion
- 5:52Speaker 4: dollars a year on this rubbish, you may well be
- 5:56Speaker 4: undermining the very cause that you claim to be promoting. Now,
- 6:01Speaker 4: this research was, like I say, so comprehensive, so decisive.
- 6:07Speaker 4: The researchers couldn't believe it, and they said, okay, let's
- 6:09Speaker 4: go again.
- 6:09Speaker 5: Let's go again. We'll do the exact.
- 6:11Speaker 4: Same thing, but with almost three times the amount of participants.
- 6:16Speaker 4: So this time they got together just under a thousand people,
- 6:21Speaker 4: much much bigger set of participants there, and they found
- 6:25Speaker 4: exactly the same thing. They got exactly the same research
- 6:30Speaker 4: data back.
- 6:32Speaker 5: I think it's.
- 6:32Speaker 4: Absolutely incredible as well that this research has been suppressed.
- 6:36Speaker 5: The New York Times refused to.
- 6:38Speaker 4: Touch it, despite the fact that they had over twenty
- 6:42Speaker 4: times previously publicized the ncri's findings on other research that
- 6:48Speaker 4: they'd done, and Bloomberg just turned around and said, not
- 6:52Speaker 4: on your life.
- 6:52Speaker 5: The editor was like, I'm not touching this.
- 6:55Speaker 4: We're all about DEI, So god forbid we let people
- 6:59Speaker 4: know that in fact, research shows this stuff ain't even working.
- 7:04Speaker 4: Not only is it not working, it's undermining the very
- 7:07Speaker 4: causes we think.
- 7:08Speaker 5: That we're achieving. It's just incredible, Joe.
- 7:11Speaker 4: Nobody wants to admit familiar it is incredible.
- 7:15Speaker 6: I mean, I suppose what the report's right to get
- 7:17Speaker 6: out is that if you are if you are told
- 7:20Speaker 6: that racism is absolutely everywhere and that you've got to
- 7:22Speaker 6: be hypervigilant and look for it everywhere because it is
- 7:25Speaker 6: everywhere and you just haven't been seeing it before, then
- 7:28Speaker 6: obviously you're going to see it everywhere. And the problem
- 7:30Speaker 6: with seeing it everywhere is then you miss it when
- 7:33Speaker 6: it actually matters, and when it's so. This is the
- 7:35Speaker 6: whole problem with anything to do with identity politics or
- 7:39Speaker 6: race based politics. It doesn't address the disadvantage that someone
- 7:43Speaker 6: may or may not be suffering because of their race.
- 7:46Speaker 6: It just means that you see racism everywhere, and you
- 7:49Speaker 6: are more likely to see all this racism and in
- 7:51Speaker 6: it experience all this racism if you are alive to
- 7:55Speaker 6: awake to or if you will woke to the racism,
- 7:59Speaker 6: which means that it is usually the most overprivileged, tertiary educated, affluent,
- 8:05Speaker 6: well educated people and I use that in air quotes,
- 8:08Speaker 6: who feel the most racially oppressed even though they are
- 8:12Speaker 6: in fact the most privileged of their race.
- 8:15Speaker 1: Typically so.
- 8:16Speaker 6: So that is why it is completely perverse and backward,
- 8:18Speaker 6: and it's why I think we should always see things
- 8:21Speaker 6: in terms of disadvantage instead of seeing things in terms
- 8:25Speaker 6: I've raised them and saying, all right, who is worse off?
- 8:27Speaker 6: Who is really sorry? Now, there's no question that, for example,
- 8:30Speaker 6: there are Indigenous communities in Australia that are terribly disadvantaged
- 8:33Speaker 6: and have horrible outcomes in terms of violence, substances, health,
- 8:37Speaker 6: educational outcomes, job opportunities, all that sort of stuff. But
- 8:40Speaker 6: you focus on those disadvantages and you fix them rather
- 8:44Speaker 6: than saying, okay, well, because this terrible disadvantage is happening
- 8:48Speaker 6: in will Kenya, we better make sure that we're not
- 8:51Speaker 6: racist to you know, you know, affluent indigenous people who
- 8:57Speaker 6: just happen to be indigenous but living in you know,
- 9:00Speaker 6: say in a city Willara or Glebe or Newtown or
- 9:04Speaker 6: North Kirk. And so the whole problem with seeing things
- 9:08Speaker 6: through the lens of race, through the lens of color,
- 9:10Speaker 6: is it actually ignores disadvantage. And that is why it
- 9:14Speaker 6: is so attractive to the new Left, if you like,
- 9:17Speaker 6: so the West East and West Coast elites, because they
- 9:19Speaker 6: can claim disadvantage, they can claim oppression that say, I've
- 9:22Speaker 6: been you know, hi, I'm from MSNB, say and I'm
- 9:25Speaker 6: discriminated against because despite the fact i own three hundred
- 9:28Speaker 6: thousand dollars a year, I'm black. Where instead of ignoring
- 9:31Speaker 6: the fact that there are heads of disadvantaged people who
- 9:34Speaker 6: are not getting a look in because rich, privileged elites
- 9:38Speaker 6: are soaking up all the oppression for themselves because they're
- 9:40Speaker 6: the ones who are alive.
- 9:41Speaker 1: To it and can see it everywhere. It's a sickness.
- 9:43Speaker 3: The other problem with DEI is it teaches people about
- 9:46Speaker 3: race to the point of obsession. So then you get
- 9:48Speaker 3: people who are obsessed with race. Well, what do you
- 9:50Speaker 3: call someone who's obsessed with race?
- 9:52Speaker 2: A racer? And so I wrote a column for the Australian.
- 9:55Speaker 3: Newspaper because, as you guys know, I've got twin boys
- 9:58Speaker 3: who were born in Ethiopius. They're black, and I wrote
- 10:01Speaker 3: a column for The Australian saying that the biggest thing
- 10:03Speaker 3: I'm trying to protect my kids from is not from racism,
- 10:06Speaker 3: it's from imagining racism is everywhere. So the whole diversity,
- 10:11Speaker 3: equity and inclusion stuff is terrible for my kids because
- 10:14Speaker 3: what it does is it would teach my black children
- 10:17Speaker 3: to be hyper sensitive about race, and then it would
- 10:20Speaker 3: teach everyone around them to be walking on eggshells because
- 10:23Speaker 3: you know, don't look at them sideways, because they'll interpret
- 10:25Speaker 3: that as you're looking at them sideways because they're African,
- 10:28Speaker 3: and it actually brings a division. So my kids are
- 10:31Speaker 3: hyper aware. In this scenario of a fence, you don't
- 10:34Speaker 3: want to offend them, so you keep your distance. They
- 10:36Speaker 3: interpret that as well, you're keeping your distance. Obviously, because
- 10:39Speaker 3: I'm black. So the whole thing snowballs, and it just
- 10:42Speaker 3: creates more and more division when the intention was supposed
- 10:46Speaker 3: to be to bring people together. So the best way
- 10:49Speaker 3: to end racism is just to stop talking about race.
- 10:52Speaker 1: That's right.
- 10:52Speaker 6: Martin Luther King said it judge a man by the
- 10:54Speaker 6: content of his character, not the color of his skin.
- 10:56Speaker 6: It is pretty effing simple. And all the great crimes
- 10:59Speaker 6: that have been commit when people didn't do that, when
- 11:02Speaker 6: they said, because you are this race, because you are
- 11:04Speaker 6: a different color, that is what makes you different, and
- 11:06Speaker 6: we have to treat you different.
- 11:07Speaker 1: I've got to turn you flying the same principle.
- 11:09Speaker 3: Lot of times in our apartment building, my boys will
- 11:11Speaker 3: comment on the fact that the older people when they
- 11:13Speaker 3: get in the elevator with them, they look at them
- 11:15Speaker 3: a little bit like, and I said, well, you're six
- 11:17Speaker 3: foot two and you're black, and you're athletic, and there
- 11:19Speaker 3: are older people, so they might I said, what happens then,
- 11:22Speaker 3: and they said, well, we smile and say hello, and
- 11:24Speaker 3: I said we'll end. And they said, well, the older
- 11:26Speaker 3: people instantly melt and they love us. And I said, exactly,
- 11:29Speaker 3: because they're getting to know you.
- 11:31Speaker 2: And that's the point.
- 11:32Speaker 3: You don't get to know someone based on their melanin
- 11:35Speaker 3: or their sexuality or whatever.
- 11:36Speaker 2: You get to know them as a human being.
- 11:38Speaker 6: I mean, I've got a few people based on their sexuality.
- 11:43Speaker 5: God Joe every time. Every time, it.
- 11:46Speaker 4: Was Morgan Freeman who said, if you want to end racism,
- 11:49Speaker 4: just stop talking about it, stop talking about race. I
- 11:52Speaker 4: think you hit the nail on the head to the
- 11:55Speaker 4: UK now where MP's in the House of Commons are
- 11:59Speaker 4: about to decide regarding a bill on Friday which will
- 12:04Speaker 4: decide the future of assisted suicide.
- 12:07Speaker 5: In the UK. It's the first of its kind.
- 12:10Speaker 4: These guys have racked their brains for weeks now as
- 12:14Speaker 4: to where they stand on.
- 12:15Speaker 5: This morally fraught issue.
- 12:18Speaker 4: But imagine you're just tubing around London, as pretty much
- 12:22Speaker 4: everyone does, especially you come across what has now been
- 12:28Speaker 4: dubbed as the Westminster death Tunnel. These have been hung
- 12:34Speaker 4: throughout the walls of the Westminster Tube station. My dyinglish
- 12:39Speaker 4: is my family won't see me suffer and I won't
- 12:44Speaker 4: have to. These ads were put up by dying in Sorry,
- 12:48Speaker 4: dignity in.
- 12:50Speaker 5: Dying, because of course, unless.
- 12:52Speaker 4: You're offering yourself, where's the dignity if you're just leaving
- 12:55Speaker 4: it up to mother nature. I mean, seriously, I do
- 12:59Speaker 4: not understand the brains behind such marketing ploys.
- 13:02Speaker 5: The big question is who funds these people.
- 13:05Speaker 4: I couldn't find that out, and I'd love to know
- 13:07Speaker 4: if anybody else can, because this would have cost an
- 13:12Speaker 4: absolute motza.
- 13:15Speaker 5: It's a really.
- 13:16Speaker 4: Strange marketing ploy right because right now this is before
- 13:21Speaker 4: the House of Commons, So the only real people that
- 13:24Speaker 4: you should be targeting if your pro assisted suicide are
- 13:29Speaker 4: the people.
- 13:29Speaker 5: In the chamber. Why would you be advertising.
- 13:33Speaker 4: This, this pro death culture in a society which already
- 13:39Speaker 4: has a serious suicide issue. This is true sadly across
- 13:43Speaker 4: the West.
- 13:45Speaker 5: Why on earth would you be promoting this?
- 13:47Speaker 4: And I was very heartened to see today that people
- 13:50Speaker 4: from the Samaritans have come along and slapped their little
- 13:53Speaker 4: signs on top of these huge billboards. The Samaritans are
- 13:57Speaker 4: a charity which supports people suffering emotion or distress, struggling
- 14:01Speaker 4: to cope, or are at risk of suicide. So they
- 14:05Speaker 4: wanted to make their presence known and be like, hold up,
- 14:08Speaker 4: while you're encouraging people to off themselves, we want to
- 14:13Speaker 4: encourage people to stay alive. As long as possible, and
- 14:16Speaker 4: if they are struggling, give us a call.
- 14:19Speaker 5: We are there for them. Now.
- 14:21Speaker 4: I can understand people who are very pro this issue,
- 14:24Speaker 4: wanting to write submissions or contacting their local MP.
- 14:28Speaker 5: But this isn't that.
- 14:29Speaker 4: It's literally promoting amongst society, this pro death culture, and.
- 14:35Speaker 3: Of all the places to promote it in the Tube,
- 14:38Speaker 3: which is a well known place where people go to
- 14:40Speaker 3: end their lives. There's been sixty eight suicides and or
- 14:44Speaker 3: suicide attempts in the London Tube in the past twelve months.
- 14:48Speaker 3: So can you imagine having a sign there promoting volunteer
- 14:52Speaker 3: suicide or assistant suicide where they call it these diet days,
- 14:56Speaker 3: where you've got people actually contemplating ending their lives.
- 15:00Speaker 2: On top of that, the Transport.
- 15:02Speaker 3: For London organization which approves ads in the Tube, say
- 15:07Speaker 3: they will not approve ads or images or messages which
- 15:10Speaker 3: relate to matters of public controversy or sensitivity.
- 15:13Speaker 2: And yet they've approved this.
- 15:14Speaker 3: But it gets even more outrageous because you're not allowed
- 15:16Speaker 3: to advertise fast food in the Tube because it's unhealthy.
- 15:22Speaker 3: There was a comedian ed Gamble I share how ridiculous
- 15:24Speaker 3: this is. A comedian ed gamble. Just a little more
- 15:27Speaker 3: than a year ago, he was advertising a stand up
- 15:30Speaker 3: comedy show he was doing and in the advertisement for
- 15:32Speaker 3: his stand up comedy show, he's holding a hot dog. Well,
- 15:34Speaker 3: that advertisement was not approved because you can't advertise hot
- 15:38Speaker 3: dogs in the tube. It's not healthy. There was an
- 15:41Speaker 3: ad for a weight loss and it asked women, are
- 15:44Speaker 3: you beach body ready? And Sadik Khan, the Mayor of London,
- 15:48Speaker 3: said nobody should feel pressurized while they travel on the
- 15:51Speaker 3: tube into unrealistic expectations surrounding their bodies. So you can
- 15:56Speaker 3: advertise assisted suicide in the tube, but you can't advertise
- 16:00Speaker 3: with Big.
- 16:01Speaker 2: Mac and coke.
- 16:01Speaker 6: There's a big difference there, James, and you know it.
- 16:03Speaker 6: I mean, you can advertise euthanasia and that's a legitimate politically.
- 16:07Speaker 6: You can advertise euth in asia in the tube, but
- 16:09Speaker 6: your advertised fast food. I mean, let's be serious, fast
- 16:11Speaker 6: food could kill you.
- 16:13Speaker 3: That's exactly the irony, Joe, you pointed it out.
- 16:17Speaker 1: Although I have to say, but why are they turning.
- 16:19Speaker 2: A blind eye to this?
- 16:20Speaker 3: Why does Saidik Kahan get all up at you about
- 16:23Speaker 3: fast food?
- 16:23Speaker 2: We all know, but it's just will tell me why.
- 16:25Speaker 6: We all know what, because because people don't find things
- 16:29Speaker 6: controversial if they agree with them. And so if you've
- 16:32Speaker 6: got an electorate, a constituency like London, which tends to
- 16:35Speaker 6: be apart from.
- 16:36Speaker 1: The glorious years of Boris.
- 16:37Speaker 6: Johnson, that tends to be like in a city, in
- 16:41Speaker 6: urban constituencies right around the world in the West anyway,
- 16:45Speaker 6: they're very progressive and they you know, can't like I'm
- 16:49Speaker 6: sure you know, if he was living in Australia, all
- 16:51Speaker 6: his friends would have voted for the Voice, if he
- 16:53Speaker 6: was living in the US, or none of his friends
- 16:56Speaker 6: would have voted for Donald Trump, and so he'd be thinking, oh, well,
- 16:59Speaker 6: this is nothing controversy about this. This is what ninety
- 17:01Speaker 6: percent of people think. But that is why again, that
- 17:03Speaker 6: is why they put these things out there instead of
- 17:07Speaker 6: targeting MPs directly, because if you have just people bombarding
- 17:10Speaker 6: MPs inboxes with stuff that spam, but if you are
- 17:13Speaker 6: getting people like us to talk about it, but more
- 17:15Speaker 6: importantly getting people in London to talk about it, and
- 17:17Speaker 6: they are then talking to their MPs. So when their
- 17:18Speaker 6: MPs go and talk to their constituents this sort of
- 17:21Speaker 6: thing is brought up, they think, oh, this isn't just
- 17:24Speaker 6: a letter writing campaign. This is a real issue in
- 17:26Speaker 6: the community. In the community, and so they take it
- 17:28Speaker 6: more seriously. But I have to say the first thing
- 17:30Speaker 6: I thought when I saw this and I said my
- 17:32Speaker 6: dying wishes this was someone just sent me a message
- 17:35Speaker 6: on Instagram. Paul said, I have two dying wishes. One
- 17:39Speaker 6: is I want my remains to be spread around Disneyland,
- 17:42Speaker 6: and two is I don't want to be cremated.
- 17:47Speaker 3: I just this may well backfire on proponents of euthanasia
- 17:51Speaker 3: because advertising it publicly like this before, as you said,
- 17:55Speaker 3: it seemed, and to do it in the tube where
- 17:58Speaker 3: people do tend to go to take their lives is
- 18:00Speaker 3: just unbelievable. Let's stay overseas, but go to France for
- 18:04Speaker 3: a moment you might remember. Back in twenty twenty, a
- 18:07Speaker 3: thirteen year old Muslim girl accused her classroom teacher of Islamophobia.
- 18:12Speaker 3: She said that during class he held up pictures of
- 18:16Speaker 3: a Charlie Hebdo magazine that showed images of Mohammed, but
- 18:21Speaker 3: prior to doing that, he sent all of the Muslim
- 18:23Speaker 3: children out of the class. Now she complained to her
- 18:26Speaker 3: father and mother about Islamophobia. They went online and started
- 18:30Speaker 3: the campaign against the teacher, which resulted in the Muslim
- 18:34Speaker 3: community getting very upset. Eventually, an eighteen year old Chechen
- 18:38Speaker 3: migrant got a knife, tracked down the teacher with help
- 18:42Speaker 3: from some of the students, and publicly beheaded him.
- 18:46Speaker 2: Now this was a few years ago.
- 18:48Speaker 3: Eight people have been charged with being accessories to this murder,
- 18:52Speaker 3: and they're now on trial.
- 18:53Speaker 2: But here's what happened just this week.
- 18:56Speaker 3: The thirteen year old girl who made the accusation, she's
- 18:59Speaker 3: now seventeen. She's admitted in court she made the whole
- 19:03Speaker 3: thing up. She lied about it because she had been
- 19:06Speaker 3: suspended from school for two days and was scared her
- 19:09Speaker 3: parents would be upset with her, so rather than tell
- 19:13Speaker 3: them she'd been suspended, she told them the teacher was
- 19:16Speaker 3: Islamophobic and had kicked all the Muslim kids out of
- 19:19Speaker 3: the classroom. She made a public apology in the courtroom
- 19:23Speaker 3: this week, saying, I would like to apologize to the
- 19:26Speaker 3: family of slain teacher Samuel Patti, who, as I said,
- 19:30Speaker 3: was publicly decapitated.
- 19:32Speaker 2: She said, I'd destroyed your lives. I am sorry.
- 19:36Speaker 3: She's been given eight months of probation for slander, but
- 19:40Speaker 3: this is just an unbelievably sad story, but beyond sad,
- 19:46Speaker 3: it highlights the danger we now have in Western countries
- 19:49Speaker 3: where you've got unchecked immigration, where you've got these different
- 19:54Speaker 3: cultures living in ghettos, where you've got the accusation of
- 20:01Speaker 3: Islamophobia that can result in some people starting to become violent.
- 20:07Speaker 3: And this is not an isolated incident. Think about Batley
- 20:11Speaker 3: Grammar in the UK, where a teacher was accused of
- 20:14Speaker 3: showing Charlie Hebdo magazine images of Mohammed. He was doing
- 20:19Speaker 3: it for a six ethics class, and immediately there were
- 20:23Speaker 3: demonstrations for days outside the school. The school publicly apologized,
- 20:28Speaker 3: the apology was read by police. Can you believe it
- 20:30Speaker 3: to demonstrate us to try and shew them away? There
- 20:33Speaker 3: were death threats against the teacher. He's been in hiding
- 20:36Speaker 3: with his wife and four children for the past three
- 20:39Speaker 3: years and is still in hiding to this day. And
- 20:43Speaker 3: I found about another three, just really quickly, another three examples,
- 20:46Speaker 3: so we don't have time to go into but you've
- 20:48Speaker 3: got school teachers who are petrified now of talking about Islam,
- 20:54Speaker 3: of talking about basic ethics as to whether or not
- 20:56Speaker 3: you can show an image because of what happened to
- 20:59Speaker 3: this teacher in France and to adssault to the wound.
- 21:04Speaker 2: The whole thing wasn't even true.
- 21:05Speaker 3: She wasn't even in that classroom of the teacher she
- 21:08Speaker 3: accused of being Islamophobia.
- 21:10Speaker 4: Here we have these Western countries that have allowed radicals.
- 21:14Speaker 4: Obviously we're not talking about the vast majority of Muslims,
- 21:16Speaker 4: we're talking about radical Islamists into their countries because on
- 21:22Speaker 4: an application form you can't tell the difference between a
- 21:26Speaker 4: garden variety someone who follows the Muslim faith, and someone
- 21:30Speaker 4: who is capable of literally taking someone's head off their
- 21:33Speaker 4: body simply over an accusation of Islamophobia.
- 21:37Speaker 5: I remember years and years ago a.
- 21:40Speaker 4: Priest in France was in the middle of mass and
- 21:45Speaker 4: these two blokes ran in Islamists and beheaded him in
- 21:50Speaker 4: front of the entire Catholic Mass that he was conducting
- 21:54Speaker 4: at the time. And look, there is no punishment severe enough.
- 21:59Speaker 4: But this means that these Western countries, especially the UK
- 22:03Speaker 4: and France, have seen far more of this than God
- 22:06Speaker 4: God willing, we will ever see in Australia. But these
- 22:10Speaker 4: instances of utter brutality. Charlie hebdo itself is another perfect example,
- 22:16Speaker 4: these journals gave their lives simply for mocking the prophet Muhammad,
- 22:23Speaker 4: and people now feel.
- 22:25Speaker 5: Like they're held hostage in their own country.
- 22:28Speaker 3: Should point out it's not just in Western countries where
- 22:30Speaker 3: you've got unchecked immigration, and as you said, it's not
- 22:33Speaker 3: all Muslims. There's a small group of radicals, but even
- 22:36Speaker 3: in countries like Pakistan where you can make accusations of
- 22:39Speaker 3: blasphemy against people you don't like or against people of
- 22:41Speaker 3: another faith. And that's why Western nations need to be
- 22:44Speaker 3: very careful with de facto blasphemy laws and need to
- 22:48Speaker 3: make it very clear we don't tolerate this in the West,
- 22:52Speaker 3: because if you start to have de facto blasphemy laws,
- 22:55Speaker 3: you are providing.
- 22:59Speaker 2: Encouragement to some people to think.
- 23:00Speaker 6: Of that is exactly right. And that's what I was
- 23:03Speaker 6: going to say. I don't I don't think this is
- 23:04Speaker 6: an immigration problem so much as a cultural problem. And
- 23:08Speaker 6: we see ice is killed I killed far more people
- 23:14Speaker 6: in Syria than it did in France. The Isis ideology
- 23:18Speaker 6: is slaughtering far more people in the Arab world than
- 23:20Speaker 6: it is in the Western world, and has and that
- 23:22Speaker 6: was when a lot of these things took place, saying
- 23:25Speaker 6: with al Qaeda, same with other extremists, they killed more
- 23:27Speaker 6: in Nigeria than they are here. So it's not the
- 23:30Speaker 6: problem is that these people exist at all, not necessarily
- 23:32Speaker 6: where they exist, they shouldn't exist. They shouldn't think the
- 23:35Speaker 6: things that they think, and that is a product of
- 23:37Speaker 6: a diseased mind.
- 23:38Speaker 1: Where the West.
- 23:40Speaker 6: Again fails, or where supposed sort of smart people who
- 23:44Speaker 6: are meant to be in charge fail, is when they
- 23:46Speaker 6: give these acts a fig leaf of legitimacy. So again
- 23:50Speaker 6: we're just talking about it before. If you are conditioned
- 23:52Speaker 6: to think that Islamophobia is everywhere, or encourage people to
- 23:56Speaker 6: see Islamophobia everywhere, then that is exactly what they are
- 24:00Speaker 6: to do, and that then makes what you do next
- 24:02Speaker 6: as a result of that more legitimate than it otherwise
- 24:05Speaker 6: would be. And it's exactly the same as we've seen
- 24:07Speaker 6: with the outrage and debate and protest over Israel and Palestine.
- 24:11Speaker 6: People say, oh no, we're not anti jew we're just
- 24:14Speaker 6: anti Zionist. Oh no, we don't hate Jewish people, we
- 24:16Speaker 6: just hate the State of Israel or Israeli project. Then
- 24:20Speaker 6: wouldn't you know it, You've got people torching cars or
- 24:23Speaker 6: drawing swastikas on synagogues or doing whatever you've got potential
- 24:27Speaker 6: hate crimes against Jewish properties. I'm sure it will only
- 24:29Speaker 6: be a matter of time before Jews are physically well.
- 24:31Speaker 6: In fact, some Jewish people have been physically assaulted already.
- 24:34Speaker 6: So again, and then all these people are doing these things.
- 24:37Speaker 6: But it's okay because I was told by the left,
- 24:41Speaker 6: by the cultural elites, that I was perfectly justified in
- 24:43Speaker 6: my outrage and my fury because genocide, because apartheid. Because
- 24:48Speaker 6: so again, if you fuel the if you legitimize this
- 24:52Speaker 6: extremism and create a sort of political ideological, sort of
- 24:56Speaker 6: infrastructure around it that makes it look normal, except makes
- 25:00Speaker 6: it look sympathetic and okay, then that is exactly what
- 25:02Speaker 6: these people are going to do. Islamophobia this person.
- 25:05Speaker 3: A lot of people would say, this all goes back
- 25:07Speaker 3: to Selman Rushian. Was it the eighties when he had
- 25:09Speaker 3: a fart white issued against him. Instead of standing up
- 25:12Speaker 3: midnight right at a free speech and instead of saying
- 25:15Speaker 3: this is not on in the UK, politicians cowed to Islamists.
- 25:19Speaker 3: Selman Rushbi went into hiding, and the lesson was learned.
- 25:23Speaker 3: You can make these accusations work. Facto blasphemy laws and
- 25:27Speaker 3: it works, and then you've got people who are willing
- 25:28Speaker 3: to enforce them.
- 25:29Speaker 2: So it's a major problem.
- 25:31Speaker 4: One hundred percent Vigilante justice feels like, well, you guys
- 25:35Speaker 4: approve of this right wrong. Back to Australia now we're
- 25:39Speaker 4: speaking of a clash of the cultures. Senator Payment has
- 25:43Speaker 4: taken Senator Pauline Hansen to task.
- 25:47Speaker 5: This morning.
- 25:48Speaker 4: Senator Pauline Hanson simply got up in the chamber and said, hey, look,
- 25:52Speaker 4: no one is allowed to serve in this place as
- 25:55Speaker 4: a senator or MP in Federal Parliament if they have
- 26:00Speaker 4: duel citizenship. This is very clear in Section forty four.
- 26:04Speaker 4: You simply can't do it. But she said, Senator Payman,
- 26:09Speaker 4: we seem to have made some sort of acquiescence here
- 26:13Speaker 4: because while Senator Payment has claimed to try to do
- 26:17Speaker 4: a due diligence to relinquish her Afghani citizenship, she's not
- 26:23Speaker 4: been successful. So we do indeed have a dual citizen
- 26:27Speaker 4: in our Senate.
- 26:29Speaker 5: Is this okay? Shouldn't we have an inquiry into this? Now?
- 26:33Speaker 5: The inquiry didn't.
- 26:34Speaker 4: Get up, but Payman was absolutely inceensed at this perfectly
- 26:40Speaker 4: logical question by Senator Pauline Hansen. You would not believe
- 26:46Speaker 4: Payman's reaction.
- 26:47Speaker 5: Here's some of it.
- 26:49Speaker 7: All that Senator Hansen does in this place is spread hatred,
- 26:55Speaker 7: spread division, because that's what that's what you're made to
- 26:59Speaker 7: do here. And it's outrageous, it is it. It's beyond comprehension.
- 27:07Speaker 4: She then goes on to quote old quotes from Senator
- 27:10Speaker 4: Pauline Hanson, saying how can you not consider these racism?
- 27:15Speaker 4: And gosh, doesn't she work herself into a ladder?
- 27:20Speaker 5: If that is not racist?
- 27:21Speaker 1: What is it?
- 27:25Speaker 5: Oh, it's not racist?
- 27:27Speaker 7: Or somebody bring the dictionary because Senator Hanson does not
- 27:31Speaker 7: know the definition of racism.
- 27:35Speaker 4: The fact that you would say.
- 27:38Speaker 7: Just weeks ago to Senator for rookie piss off back
- 27:42Speaker 7: to Pakistan, You're not just vindictive, mean nasty, you bring
- 27:48Speaker 7: disgrace to the human race, no dignity whatsoever as a.
- 27:54Speaker 4: Senator, picking off, no dignity as a senator. The irony
- 28:01Speaker 4: seems to be completely lost on payment there.
- 28:03Speaker 5: What do you call this shrill tantrum?
- 28:06Speaker 6: It's not lost on Ralph Babbitt, though, the said of
- 28:08Speaker 6: the sitting behind her, He's expression, I just talk about
- 28:13Speaker 6: just chewing up the scenery. This guy steals the show.
- 28:16Speaker 6: It is amazing and he does it all without saying
- 28:19Speaker 6: a word.
- 28:19Speaker 4: You would, if you haven't been paying attention to send
- 28:23Speaker 4: it to Ralph Babett sitting in the background.
- 28:25Speaker 5: Here, here's one last clip. Pay attention to his facial expressions.
- 28:31Speaker 7: But you know what, Santa Hanson, how do you live
- 28:35Speaker 7: with yourself, Santa Hanson, with so much violent hatred? How
- 28:39Speaker 7: do you live through your days spreading hatred?
- 28:43Speaker 5: How do you go to sleep?
- 28:46Speaker 7: How do you look your neighbors in the eye, knowing
- 28:48Speaker 7: that you come to this place and spreading the vile hatred,
- 28:55Speaker 7: the vile she's holding up yup business of the day
- 29:02Speaker 7: because she is obsessed with me.
- 29:04Speaker 5: Wow, well done.
- 29:08Speaker 4: Wow, Okay, that wasn't embarrassing for you at all, Senator Payman.
- 29:14Speaker 4: I mean, these kinds of outcries are just so embarrassing
- 29:19Speaker 4: to watch. This rade went on for over five minutes,
- 29:23Speaker 4: and then she finishes it by accusing Senator Pauline Hanson
- 29:27Speaker 4: of being obsessed with her. You don't think you're a
- 29:30Speaker 4: bit obsessed, Senator payment It's a perfectly logical inquiry that
- 29:37Speaker 4: Hanson put up. I mean, we'd all love to know
- 29:39Speaker 4: what you are doing in our Senate with a dual citizenship.
- 29:42Speaker 5: Nobody else gets that privilege.
- 29:44Speaker 4: In fact, between twenty seventeen and twenty and eighteen, fifteen
- 29:50Speaker 4: members of Parliament were stood down, some by their own
- 29:54Speaker 4: admission and.
- 29:55Speaker 5: Others by the High Court because they.
- 29:57Speaker 4: Were found to have duel citizenship. You don't get to
- 30:01Speaker 4: do it. And Hanson, even after this to rage, believe
- 30:04Speaker 4: it or not, she's not back down, says I'm still
- 30:07Speaker 4: going to be looking into this because it's not lawful,
- 30:11Speaker 4: which is perfectly fair.
- 30:13Speaker 5: And then of.
- 30:14Speaker 4: Course we had Senator Thorpe throwing Payper.
- 30:18Speaker 6: Well, this is why I'm disappointed with Fatima Payment. I mean,
- 30:21Speaker 6: she's just not taking it to the next level. She's
- 30:24Speaker 6: already got a senatorial colleague who's pretty much in her
- 30:27Speaker 6: exact same position, got elected with one party and then decided,
- 30:30Speaker 6: I f you. I'm just going to sit by myself
- 30:32Speaker 6: because you know reasons. And Senator Thorpe's going around, she's
- 30:36Speaker 6: you know, she's barnstorming the King, she's tearing up Pauline
- 30:41Speaker 6: Hanson's notes, she's flipping the bird, and Fatima Payment thinks
- 30:45Speaker 6: she can just get up and say a few crosswords,
- 30:47Speaker 6: and that's going to make the six o'clock news.
- 30:49Speaker 1: Try harder, Senator, try harder. That's all.
- 30:52Speaker 6: But yeah, there is so with the secrety forty four stuff.
- 30:55Speaker 6: There is if you have taken The reason why everyone
- 30:58Speaker 6: else got caught out is because they hadn't taken and
- 31:00Speaker 6: reasonable steps to get rid of the articitisztenship. So she
- 31:03Speaker 6: does have a defense where she can say, look, the
- 31:05Speaker 6: Taliban's in charge of Afghanistan. I can't Actually, I've tried
- 31:08Speaker 6: to get rid of it. I've sent them a.
- 31:09Speaker 5: Letter, has taken those and he's asking for.
- 31:17Speaker 3: Chris Bowen was sitting with the Teleiban just last week
- 31:20Speaker 3: at the that was.
- 31:21Speaker 6: To tackle climate change perfectly.
- 31:23Speaker 3: He could have asked, it's not like the Taliban contactable.
- 31:26Speaker 3: They're going to un events these days.
- 31:28Speaker 6: After a hard day depriving women of the right to
- 31:31Speaker 6: vote and girls of an education. This is I'd like
- 31:34Speaker 6: to sit back and relax with the air conditioner onlike
- 31:36Speaker 6: anyone else.
- 31:37Speaker 1: That's why we need net zero.
- 31:39Speaker 3: This issue with payment and her response is everything we've
- 31:42Speaker 3: been talking about tonight, where pulling hands and raises a
- 31:45Speaker 3: simple constitutional issue. How can you have dual citizenship? And
- 31:49Speaker 3: still be sitting here. Should we not be asking questions
- 31:52Speaker 3: and payment screens racism? And that's the problems and the
- 31:56Speaker 3: earlier top xamp and goes on really too much DEI
- 32:00Speaker 3: in our federal Senate.
- 32:02Speaker 2: But yeah, I agree.
- 32:03Speaker 3: Props to Senator Ralph Babett who made that very enjoyable.
- 32:07Speaker 6: Best supporting actor Best Supporting Actor in emotion fature by
- 32:11Speaker 6: one thousand.
- 32:12Speaker 3: Absolutely, But not all the politicians in this country are bad.
- 32:15Speaker 3: And Joe, I know you've got your favorite, so tell
- 32:17Speaker 3: us about one point.
- 32:18Speaker 6: Thank you, I think, Thank god, right this, Thank you
- 32:21Speaker 6: very much, James. This is a little segment I'm going
- 32:24Speaker 6: to call spin one oh one.
- 32:26Speaker 1: Right. This is how when you dealt with a crisis.
- 32:28Speaker 6: When you've got you know, the local news corp tabloid
- 32:31Speaker 6: up your wazoo, you know, searching for the rent. It's
- 32:34Speaker 6: got a screaming headline saying.
- 32:35Speaker 1: How dare you?
- 32:36Speaker 6: How could you? This is how you handle it.
- 32:39Speaker 1: Now.
- 32:40Speaker 6: This is the Adelaide Advertiser this week and it had
- 32:43Speaker 6: a great yarn, fantastic yarn where the Melanowskis government in
- 32:46Speaker 6: South Australia. Peter Malinowskus, you may know him for being
- 32:49Speaker 6: the second most handsome premier on the Australian main line.
- 32:52Speaker 6: They had an article that found that he was hiring
- 32:55Speaker 6: a spin doctor on a salary of over four hundred
- 32:59Speaker 6: thousand dollars. And this is and this is just obviously
- 33:03Speaker 6: absolutely ridiculous.
- 33:04Speaker 1: Right and.
- 33:06Speaker 6: They've screened it on the front page of going jumped
- 33:08Speaker 6: up and down about it.
- 33:09Speaker 1: Great yarn full props.
- 33:10Speaker 2: Say Bill Shorten's speech, right, didn't think it was ridiculous?
- 33:13Speaker 6: No, that's right, and I don't think it's ridiculous either.
- 33:15Speaker 6: By the way, if anyone, if anyone wants to hire me,
- 33:18Speaker 6: I'll do it for three ninety nine.
- 33:20Speaker 1: So just think of the savings.
- 33:22Speaker 6: But again, now, when these sort of scandals typically hit
- 33:27Speaker 6: politicians or political leaders, what.
- 33:28Speaker 1: Do you hear?
- 33:29Speaker 6: Oh no, no, that's not true. What about the opposition
- 33:31Speaker 6: they do it too? Oh no, you know that's a lie.
- 33:34Speaker 6: Either the media has got it wrong again or no, actually,
- 33:36Speaker 6: it's completely within the rules, et.
- 33:38Speaker 1: Cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
- 33:39Speaker 6: What does Penn and Melanawskus do students of politics listen
- 33:43Speaker 6: and take note?
- 33:45Speaker 8: What's donne I think me is the prospect this person
- 33:48Speaker 8: could get paid over four hundred grand a year. Turns
- 33:50Speaker 8: out there was never the case. There was an advertising band,
- 33:55Speaker 8: a band for wages or salary put in the ad
- 33:59Speaker 8: online that went from two in a thirty thousand to
- 34:01Speaker 8: four hundred and twenty nine. I spoke to the sea
- 34:04Speaker 8: of DPC last night that ad is being he's decided
- 34:07Speaker 8: to withdraw that ad.
- 34:10Speaker 1: There you go.
- 34:10Speaker 6: So the opposition actually came out and said, quote unquote,
- 34:14Speaker 6: this doesn't pass the pub test, and Melanauskas came back
- 34:17Speaker 6: in response and said, this doesn't.
- 34:19Speaker 1: Pass the pub test. You're absolutely right. We're killing the ad,
- 34:22Speaker 1: We're killing the position.
- 34:23Speaker 6: They're not going to get that much.
- 34:24Speaker 1: That's it.
- 34:24Speaker 6: Thank you very much for bringing it to my attention.
- 34:26Speaker 6: That is how you kill off a scandal. And it
- 34:29Speaker 6: is just beautiful to see at least someone in politics
- 34:32Speaker 6: who knows how.
- 34:32Speaker 5: To do it and has any for the rest of labor.
- 34:37Speaker 6: Him and Chris Mins. Just watch what they do. They
- 34:39Speaker 6: are world class best of all.
- 34:41Speaker 5: They can hold it a shop together.
- 34:42Speaker 3: Trying best on that though when they say it doesn't
- 34:45Speaker 3: pass the pub test, right, why are we spending.
- 34:47Speaker 2: Two hundred three hundred four hundred k on spin doctors?
- 34:50Speaker 3: They could just walk down to the local pub, run
- 34:52Speaker 3: the policy or whatever.
- 34:56Speaker 2: That gets sad. Do you drink for those they can
- 34:59Speaker 2: have their.
- 35:00Speaker 6: I don't know if you've bought a schooner in the
- 35:01Speaker 6: last couple of months, mate, four hundred grand will probably
- 35:05Speaker 6: get you about three rounds, So.
- 35:07Speaker 1: Things go up.
- 35:08Speaker 6: By way of contrast, this is how not to handle
- 35:12Speaker 6: a crisis when you're faced by a massive controversy is
- 35:14Speaker 6: blowing up in your face and it is backfiring terribly,
- 35:17Speaker 6: and it's all over the enginet and everyone's just having
- 35:20Speaker 6: a go at you. This is what not to do. Jaguar,
- 35:23Speaker 6: of course, very famously put out and ad recently in
- 35:27Speaker 6: which there were no cars. It was an egg for
- 35:31Speaker 6: Jaguars without any jaguars. Instead, there were various people, and
- 35:36Speaker 6: this did seem to cover every race, gender, sexuality and everything.
- 35:42Speaker 6: Have a look, it's just I mean this to me,
- 35:45Speaker 6: screams E Series V twelve. I just don't even know
- 35:50Speaker 6: what it was.
- 35:50Speaker 4: Basically a pile of androgynous looking people you can't quite
- 35:54Speaker 4: tell whose male or female, wearing a pile of ridiculous outfits.
- 35:59Speaker 4: They sit down, stand up. It starts by them coming
- 36:01Speaker 4: out of a lift. Nothing about it makes sense and
- 36:04Speaker 4: certainly nothing.
- 36:06Speaker 5: Hearts back to Jaguar.
- 36:09Speaker 6: Just like B, trans B, gender fluid, B, non binary,
- 36:13Speaker 6: shag whoever you want as often as you want, good
- 36:15Speaker 6: on your I'm married. I wish I could too, but
- 36:17Speaker 6: that's all over for me. I'm just saying I've got
- 36:20Speaker 6: my lovely wife at home and got huge.
- 36:24Speaker 3: Accordingly, then how did the Jaguar boss handle all the flat.
- 36:27Speaker 6: I'm glad you asked, mister Bicpherson.
- 36:29Speaker 1: I thought we should ask ahead of jar.
- 36:32Speaker 6: I was just you know, I like to talk about
- 36:34Speaker 6: problems at home, you know, in separate beds. But we're
- 36:37Speaker 6: still very emotionally. We've agreed that, you know, we're not
- 36:41Speaker 6: ready to start seeing other people. But anyway, so the
- 36:44Speaker 6: head of Jaguar land Rover has actually come out and
- 36:48Speaker 6: this is these ads are getting absolutely buried, right you
- 36:52Speaker 6: want to you want to talk about the ratio?
- 36:54Speaker 1: These are numbers.
- 36:55Speaker 6: They've got quantum physicists, they've got mathematicians from Harvard University,
- 37:00Speaker 6: from m I T trying to figure out just how high.
- 37:02Speaker 1: The ratio is.
- 37:03Speaker 6: Anyway, so the head of Jaguar land Rover, his name
- 37:07Speaker 6: is Rawd and Glover, which is about it needs an
- 37:10Speaker 6: extra hyphen has doubled down, and Hey has said, if
- 37:14Speaker 6: we play in the same way that everybody else does,
- 37:17Speaker 6: we'll just get drowned out. So we shouldn't turn up
- 37:21Speaker 6: like an auto brand. We need to re establish our
- 37:25Speaker 6: brand and at a completely different price point, so we
- 37:28Speaker 6: need to act differently. We wanted to move away from
- 37:33Speaker 6: traditional automotive stereotypes. So now it's not just straight white
- 37:39Speaker 6: males that are stereotypes, it's straight white automobiles.
- 37:42Speaker 3: Well, I mean they're moving away from stereotypes. They moved
- 37:45Speaker 3: away from automobiles altogether.
- 37:47Speaker 2: But it was worse than that.
- 37:48Speaker 3: He accused people of criticizing the ad of quote vile, hatred,
- 37:53Speaker 3: and intolerance, a blaze of intolerance to called it. So
- 37:56Speaker 3: not only did he offend Jaguar owners, but then Jaguar
- 38:00Speaker 3: owners who dared to say, gee, we don't like your ad.
- 38:03Speaker 3: That he went further and accused them of being hateful,
- 38:05Speaker 3: vile and in toller.
- 38:07Speaker 6: Accuse your customers, accuse your customers of being biggots.
- 38:11Speaker 1: Always always come back.
- 38:12Speaker 5: Isn't that the same?
- 38:13Speaker 1: No, they should smash stereotypes.
- 38:15Speaker 6: Why should cars have to have things that we associate
- 38:17Speaker 6: with them traditionally, like wheels.
- 38:21Speaker 3: On that note, we're going to go to a break
- 38:22Speaker 3: when we come back. But look at what's making news tomorrow,
- 38:25Speaker 3: including Sydney residents told not to wash their clothes, all
- 38:28Speaker 3: their dishes because it's.
- 38:29Speaker 2: Not enough electricity. Welcome back.
- 38:34Speaker 3: Let's check out tomorrow's papers, Joe, You've got the Australian
- 38:37Speaker 3: and apparently we're.
- 38:37Speaker 2: In the middle of a severe heatwave.
- 38:39Speaker 6: Yes, Chris Bowen, Yes, well you wouldn't know this, but
- 38:42Speaker 6: apparently it was a little bit hot in Sydney today
- 38:45Speaker 6: it's a little bit. Yes, in Penrith it is, I
- 38:47Speaker 6: believe on fire. It is seriously so hot, especially Western
- 38:50Speaker 6: Sydney that copped it in the neck. And this brings
- 38:53Speaker 6: us to the question of what we do when it's
- 38:56Speaker 6: really hot. Well, the answer, according to Gumman author it is,
- 39:00Speaker 6: is not the dishes. The answers. Do not put on
- 39:03Speaker 6: the dishruptioner, don't put on your washing machine, don't put
- 39:05Speaker 6: on anything energy intensive like you know, air conditioning. Now
- 39:09Speaker 6: you're allowed to put on air conditioning, but they say
- 39:11Speaker 6: held off doing other appliances. And this, of course has
- 39:14Speaker 6: raised a few eyebrows because we are a first world country.
- 39:18Speaker 6: Mildly hot major problems is.
- 39:20Speaker 1: The big pig splash and the OS.
- 39:22Speaker 6: Tomorrow, climate Change Minister Chris Bowen will declare renewables are
- 39:26Speaker 6: the only solution to the nation's energy wos and put
- 39:28Speaker 6: the blame for volatility in the electricity grid on coal
- 39:32Speaker 6: fired power stations. After New South Wales residents we're told
- 39:35Speaker 6: to avoid using dishwashers, washing machines and pull filter pumps
- 39:38Speaker 6: quite important on a hot day what I thought to
- 39:40Speaker 6: prevent blackouts, so this is not hugely uncommon on super
- 39:46Speaker 6: hot days. We had the former climate change Minister for
- 39:51Speaker 6: the coalition, Matt Keane, who I know is a favorite
- 39:54Speaker 6: of liberals and conservatives across the nation, but he said
- 39:59Speaker 6: the same thing and absolutely copped it. And then strangely
- 40:01Speaker 6: the Energy Minister, Penny Sharp went said the same thing,
- 40:04Speaker 6: and then Chris Mins said the same thing, but in
- 40:06Speaker 6: a much more calm and sensible and handsome fashion. But
- 40:09Speaker 6: it has raised questions as to why we do not
- 40:12Speaker 6: have enough reliable, secure based load power for people to
- 40:16Speaker 6: be able to run their appliances on hot days. And
- 40:19Speaker 6: Chris Bowen has come out and said, well, actually this
- 40:21Speaker 6: is because two I think it's two coal five power
- 40:24Speaker 6: stations were offline because of faults or maintenance. So it's
- 40:28Speaker 6: all coal's fault for not working. And of course other
- 40:31Speaker 6: people are saying no, it's all renewable's fault because the
- 40:34Speaker 6: reason the three to eight pm window is the the
- 40:37Speaker 6: boat and zone for using those heavy energy appliances is
- 40:41Speaker 6: because that is when solar power starts to die down.
- 40:45Speaker 3: I've got to say, I think the headline in the
- 40:46Speaker 3: Australian is absolutely right.
- 40:48Speaker 2: It was mildly hot. It wasn't a severe weak wave.
- 40:51Speaker 3: Sure it might have been the nine at Penrith, but
- 40:53Speaker 3: at most of Sydney it was around thirty degrees.
- 40:56Speaker 1: Most of Sydney pretty harm summer.
- 41:00Speaker 3: And on top of that for Chris Bow and then
- 41:03Speaker 3: to blame coal fired power stations for having maintenance when
- 41:07Speaker 3: the governments provide absolutely zero incentive. In fact, they've provided
- 41:11Speaker 3: disincentive to keep coal fired power stations well maintained. I
- 41:16Speaker 3: mean for him to blame a heat wave and the coal,
- 41:20Speaker 3: and especially when and Simon Benson points it out brilliantly
- 41:23Speaker 3: in a column on the front page as well, that
- 41:26Speaker 3: you know, coal is the cause of climate change and
- 41:28Speaker 3: if only we had a bit more coal then now
- 41:30Speaker 3: electricity would have been fine today you can't have.
- 41:34Speaker 4: I mean we have already have had the blackouts in
- 41:37Speaker 4: the CBD yesterday and certain parts of Western Sydney as well.
- 41:41Speaker 4: They didn't have power for hours and hours and they
- 41:44Speaker 4: were told, oh, it's a really hot day. And then
- 41:47Speaker 4: the Osgrid themselves said, actually, this has nothing to do
- 41:50Speaker 4: with the fact that.
- 41:51Speaker 5: It's a hot day.
- 41:53Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 41:54Speaker 5: Now the clown show just continues. Right.
- 41:57Speaker 6: Well, look, you might think that Chris Bowen's claims are ridiculous,
- 42:00Speaker 6: us James I would just say hold my beer, because
- 42:04Speaker 6: John Sector has some claims his own. In particular, it
- 42:07Speaker 6: is a PTSD compo claim. John Secca, the infamous former
- 42:12Speaker 6: head of the Victorian Division of the CFMEU and all
- 42:18Speaker 6: round great guy, he has launched since he's been ousted,
- 42:27Speaker 6: and you just would not believe this. He has launched
- 42:30Speaker 6: a claim for post traumatic stress disorder. He's seeking, i
- 42:34Speaker 6: think a four hundred thousand dollars compensation claim for the workers'
- 42:39Speaker 6: comp claim, alleging he's suffering post traumatic stress disorder from
- 42:43Speaker 6: a deterioration in his mental health while running the Militant
- 42:48Speaker 6: Construction Union.
- 42:51Speaker 9: At least we like at least they focused on deterioration
- 42:57Speaker 9: of other people's physical health rather the mental health had
- 43:01Speaker 9: has said to be a side effect of that.
- 43:03Speaker 2: For PTSD, I thought, oh, gee, did he have to
- 43:05Speaker 2: deal with the union? He was running it, that's right.
- 43:10Speaker 1: How dare you call me a union thug? Word's hurt
- 43:13Speaker 1: you know?
- 43:15Speaker 5: Feelings to the front bag of the Canberra Times.
- 43:18Speaker 4: Now, bullying still haunts Home Affairs staff at Home Affairs
- 43:22Speaker 4: have again scored the department worst for bullying and harassment,
- 43:26Speaker 4: with new data showing the rate of poor behavior has
- 43:30Speaker 4: worse set I.
- 43:31Speaker 1: Thought to.
- 43:33Speaker 4: Say that, like last year, more than half of the
- 43:36Speaker 4: perceived bullying went unreported, so at least Home Affairs can say, well,
- 43:40Speaker 4: hang on a minute, we thought we were.
- 43:42Speaker 1: Half that bad.
- 43:43Speaker 4: The rest of them just took it on the nose
- 43:45Speaker 4: and didn't tell us.
- 43:46Speaker 5: But have come out in these.
- 43:47Speaker 4: Surveys and for second place in the bullying and harassment.
- 43:51Speaker 5: Stakes there's a three way.
- 43:53Speaker 4: Tie Ladies and Gentlemen by the Department of Agriculture, the
- 43:57Speaker 4: Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and Department of Veterans Affairs.
- 44:02Speaker 5: They have the next highest rate of perceived bullying at
- 44:05Speaker 5: twelve percent.
- 44:07Speaker 3: Of their employees can I just say, unlucky for the
- 44:10Speaker 3: Home Affairs Department to be on the front page of
- 44:12Speaker 3: the Canberra Times for bullying where Senator Payment she pursued
- 44:15Speaker 3: bump them off the front page and taken number one spot.
- 44:18Speaker 6: Let's go to the town I say, just as a
- 44:21Speaker 6: public service James and I feel like Australians now just
- 44:24Speaker 6: two words class action John Setka and the Canberra bureaucrats.
- 44:29Speaker 1: Wow, get together, lawyer up.
- 44:31Speaker 6: Quite unlikely to take on the Federal Public Service and
- 44:35Speaker 6: the CFMU.
- 44:37Speaker 1: At the same time for their pts.
- 44:39Speaker 6: For the PTSD, it just makes sense.
- 44:41Speaker 2: Nothing would surprise.
- 44:42Speaker 3: Let's go to the front page of the Townsville bulletin
- 44:45Speaker 3: Mayor's costs to hamm up ratepayers.
- 44:48Speaker 2: The headline says take us for a ride.
- 44:49Speaker 3: Ratepayers will be slogged them extra seventy two thousand dollars
- 44:52Speaker 3: as ousted Mayor Troy Thompson, who pretty much features on
- 44:55Speaker 3: the front page of the Council.
- 44:57Speaker 4: I don't know what they're going to put on their
- 44:59Speaker 4: front page.
- 45:00Speaker 1: As a man is a media's best friend, he's putting his.
- 45:03Speaker 2: Feet up for twelve months.
- 45:04Speaker 3: It can be revealed now for those who aren't familiar
- 45:08Speaker 3: Troy Thompson was elected mayor and then after being elected
- 45:11Speaker 3: there were claims that he misled voters about his military
- 45:16Speaker 3: business and university qualifications.
- 45:18Speaker 2: There's currently a Crime and.
- 45:20Speaker 3: Corruption Commission inquiry into those claims. The state government could
- 45:26Speaker 3: have just sacked him. Instead, they've decided to suspend him
- 45:30Speaker 3: for twelve months while and investigate. How can investigation take
- 45:34Speaker 3: twelve months to work out whether or not he like.
- 45:37Speaker 5: He lied about a lot of things.
- 45:39Speaker 3: Well, it's allegations, But meanwhile Townsville ratepayers are paying for
- 45:43Speaker 3: him to sit and do nothing while this investment, and
- 45:45Speaker 3: they're paying.
- 45:45Speaker 5: For the investigation.
- 45:48Speaker 6: Maybe he's lying about how much money he's getting to
- 45:50Speaker 6: do nothing. Let's go to the Gold Coast bulletin now
- 45:53Speaker 6: and this is again, this is a story that's kept
- 45:57Speaker 6: the nation with baited breath. The state messed up in
- 46:01Speaker 6: Molly Magpie saga. Queensland's Department of Environment admits it quote
- 46:05Speaker 6: made an error unquote after a bombshell court judgment set
- 46:09Speaker 6: aside a special license granted to the Gold Coast Cares
- 46:13Speaker 6: of Molly. The Magpie is the latest twist in the
- 46:17Speaker 6: Saga of Molly, made famous on social media for its
- 46:20Speaker 6: relationship with a dog named Peggy. Call me o fact,
- 46:25Speaker 6: I don't believe in cross species relationships.
- 46:28Speaker 2: That saga continues to unfold.
- 46:30Speaker 3: We're going to go to a break. When we come back.
- 46:32Speaker 3: The Trump dance taking the world by storm. We might
- 46:34Speaker 3: even get Liz and Joe to do a little bit
- 46:37Speaker 3: of Trump dancing.
- 46:37Speaker 2: That's in a moment, all right.
- 46:40Speaker 3: Well, who would have guessed that Donald Trump would be
- 46:43Speaker 3: responsible for a dance craze list that's gone all around
- 46:45Speaker 3: the world.
- 46:46Speaker 4: That Donald Trump dance has become an absolute phenomenon, especially
- 46:50Speaker 4: now that athletes around the world have taken to performing
- 46:54Speaker 4: this after they've done something really cool on.
- 46:56Speaker 5: The field or on the court. So one day taken
- 47:00Speaker 5: to social media.
- 47:01Speaker 4: To help out those who may not be so good
- 47:03Speaker 4: at the moves, to give them a step by step
- 47:06Speaker 4: play by play for one one on how to pull
- 47:10Speaker 4: this off at home. Sure, I love it, I absolutely
- 47:34Speaker 4: love it. That kid's got the moves. What he didn't do, though,
- 47:37Speaker 4: is put his head down. Trump always puts his head down.
- 47:40Speaker 4: If you want to do the authentic og, it's not
- 47:43Speaker 4: staring at the camera doing the thing.
- 47:45Speaker 5: You've got to put your head down and do it
- 47:48Speaker 5: like this.
- 47:48Speaker 6: Everybody see, okay, I just want to click that up.
- 47:51Speaker 6: You've got to put your head down and do it
- 47:53Speaker 6: like this.
- 47:57Speaker 5: This is not an R and B song, all right?
- 47:59Speaker 1: Sorry, So of the.
- 48:01Speaker 6: Three times context, context is important, people, Context is important.
- 48:06Speaker 6: There's nothing to do, nothing else, just encourageable. No, I'm
- 48:09Speaker 6: terribly sorry. I'm going to clean up my act. No more,
- 48:12Speaker 6: no more, double on tundras. This next story is about
- 48:14Speaker 6: a woman who was surprised by a giant snake, and
- 48:17Speaker 6: they thought I'd be the perfect person to introduce it. Yes,
- 48:21Speaker 6: an Australian woman got the fight of her life. When
- 48:23Speaker 6: you open a garage door an enormous carpet python, just
- 48:26Speaker 6: wait for it, wait for it, wait for it.
- 48:33Speaker 4: I would have thought someone was pranking me. How don't
- 48:35Speaker 4: you literally fly out at you like, hey, how's it going?
- 48:38Speaker 2: It looks like I reckon.
- 48:39Speaker 3: She knew there was a snake there, but she just
- 48:41Speaker 3: didn't expect them to swing out like that. When we
- 48:43Speaker 3: lived in towns Well, we got a snake coiled up
- 48:45Speaker 3: in our roller door as well, so I kept going up, down, up, down,
- 48:49Speaker 3: up down, trying to get it caught in the gears
- 48:51Speaker 3: to kill it. But survived and so can.
- 48:53Speaker 6: We mash up James going up down, up down, up
- 48:56Speaker 6: down with this store going you.
- 48:57Speaker 1: Just that's enough.
- 48:58Speaker 4: That's a wrap from us, ladies in gentlemen. I hope
- 49:01Speaker 4: the kids are in bed. We apologize for Joe Hildebrand
- 49:04Speaker 4: and his explicit content.
- 49:06Speaker 3: Hey, thanks for your company tonight. That's all we've got
- 49:08Speaker 3: time for. We'll be back tomorrow night. But stick around
- 49:11Speaker 3: because coming up in just a moment is to read
- 49:12Speaker 3: a Penney show.
- 49:13Speaker 2: Good night
