- 0:00Speaker 1: Wait, welcome the Late Debate.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Well, good evening and thanks for joining us on the
- 0:08Speaker 2: Late Debate. I'm James Macpherson with the Nika to Georgio
- 0:11Speaker 2: and Caleb Bond. I've got to say that while you
- 0:14Speaker 2: were working, segment that Paul Murray does is one of
- 0:17Speaker 2: my favorite segments on television.
- 0:18Speaker 3: I know, well, it's, unfortunately, I must say, one of
- 0:21Speaker 3: the best segments I've seen.
- 0:23Speaker 4: Because it's just so hard to believe that it's real.
- 0:26Speaker 3: We're paying these people and that's what they're doing with
- 0:29Speaker 3: their time extraordinry that.
- 0:31Speaker 2: The funny thing is, you'd think he'd be struggling for content,
- 0:33Speaker 2: but if you look on Twitter and Instagram, I reckon
- 0:36Speaker 2: the struggle would be working out which stupid political video
- 0:39Speaker 2: to leave out.
- 0:40Speaker 5: It's pretty bad.
- 0:41Speaker 3: When you think I do know where having a laugh,
- 0:43Speaker 3: but it's pretty bad you think about it.
- 0:44Speaker 2: It is, all right, let's get into the show. Here's
- 0:46Speaker 2: what's coming up tonight. Almost half of labor voters have
- 0:50Speaker 2: no idea who should succeed an the alb and easy
- 0:53Speaker 2: is that because there's a dearth of labor talent, or
- 0:55Speaker 2: is Elbow cleverly ensured he has no obvious successor. Why
- 0:59Speaker 2: is the ABC encouraging Australian kids to design a new
- 1:02Speaker 2: national flag.
- 1:03Speaker 1: It's the national broadcaster's.
- 1:05Speaker 2: Job to inform people, not to recruit them. Transgender activists
- 1:09Speaker 2: go wild after the Queen invites JK. Rowling over to
- 1:13Speaker 2: talk about child literacy. We'll get to all of that shortly,
- 1:15Speaker 2: but first, Australian school teachers are being told to quit
- 1:19Speaker 2: using slang in the classroom. Education experts say too many
- 1:23Speaker 2: teachers are using slang in a bid to be more
- 1:26Speaker 2: relatable to kids. They've been using words like riz which
- 1:29Speaker 2: means charisma. Danika has so much riz ah, thank you,
- 1:34Speaker 2: You're welcome. They've been using phrases like aura farming, which
- 1:36Speaker 2: means doing things to appear charismatic. Caleb is always aura farmer.
- 1:42Speaker 2: And they've been using phrases like lock in, which means
- 1:46Speaker 2: to focus. But experts say social media trends shouldn't set
- 1:50Speaker 2: classroom culture, and besides, it's the job of teachers to
- 1:53Speaker 2: elevate language and to expand their students vocabs, not to
- 1:56Speaker 2: reinforce whatever's trending on TikTok. So let me ask you this, Danika,
- 2:01Speaker 2: should teachers be gassing in slang? Or is that kind
- 2:04Speaker 2: of mid and an instant L for education vibes?
- 2:07Speaker 5: Sorry?
- 2:07Speaker 6: Well that okay? No, no, please never okay, just put
- 2:11Speaker 6: the camera please back on, James. If we could just
- 2:13Speaker 6: do that YO sign again because the camera missed you,
- 2:16Speaker 6: just do it again.
- 2:17Speaker 5: Do it to camera, not do it to camera?
- 2:18Speaker 1: This is it kind of mid or is it an
- 2:20Speaker 1: instant L for education vibe? Relatable?
- 2:27Speaker 5: I never want to say every young.
- 2:29Speaker 1: Person watches ever like, wow, I finally get the.
- 2:32Speaker 6: Late Okay, look sorry James in a nice way.
- 2:36Speaker 5: It just doesn't suit you.
- 2:37Speaker 6: Please never say yo again and never whatever, just don't
- 2:41Speaker 6: the politely just doesn't suit you.
- 2:44Speaker 5: I don't have a problem with this at all.
- 2:46Speaker 6: I don't because I actually think when a teacher can
- 2:51Speaker 6: bring themselves into a level of lingo where the actually
- 2:55Speaker 6: relatable to the child, I think that that helps children
- 2:58Speaker 6: learn in a classroom, because there's nothing worse than being
- 3:00Speaker 6: in a classroom and you've got some boring teacher who's
- 3:04Speaker 6: trying to pontificate to you and you're just sitting there
- 3:07Speaker 6: going this is absolutely excruciating. You're not going to learn,
- 3:10Speaker 6: You're not going to listen.
- 3:12Speaker 5: Or, as I think, if you've got a teacher.
- 3:13Speaker 6: That you know what, I'm going to make this a
- 3:15Speaker 6: bit funner. I'm going to slip in a bit of
- 3:17Speaker 6: slang here and there, a bit of riz, a bit
- 3:20Speaker 6: of aura farming.
- 3:21Speaker 5: I feel like, if you're a kid, you go, this
- 3:23Speaker 5: teacher is cool.
- 3:24Speaker 6: I enjoy coming to their classrooms and I enjoy learning.
- 3:27Speaker 5: That said, as long as they are learning and.
- 3:31Speaker 6: They're not slacking off, and they're genuinely doing their best
- 3:33Speaker 6: in the classroom, that I do not see the problem
- 3:37Speaker 6: with this.
- 3:38Speaker 3: Well, the problem is that you end up saying things
- 3:40Speaker 3: like you just did. You said fun at, which is
- 3:42Speaker 3: not a word. It is more fun.
- 3:45Speaker 6: I'm trying to be cool here and you've just knocked
- 3:48Speaker 6: me down, as you always do.
- 3:50Speaker 3: I'm sorry. Just use correct language and there won't be
- 3:53Speaker 3: a problem. I think, you know, we can't. We don't
- 3:59Speaker 3: need anymore of this and aren't going to vomit. And
- 4:02Speaker 3: maybe maybe they actually no albae into a little bit.
- 4:05Speaker 3: Maybe they're worried that if the teachers use the proper
- 4:08Speaker 3: English language, the Queen's English, that the students will fill
- 4:12Speaker 3: language mogged.
- 4:13Speaker 4: You know what OG is.
- 4:15Speaker 3: It's apparently like to beat someone that you know, basically
- 4:18Speaker 3: you're better at it than them, or you've shown them up.
- 4:22Speaker 4: Is to be mogged. So they're worried that they will
- 4:24Speaker 4: mog the students.
- 4:25Speaker 3: Maybe I don't know, but surely it is the job
- 4:28Speaker 3: of a teacher to raise the kids up right.
- 4:30Speaker 4: And if they're coming in saying all.
- 4:32Speaker 3: These weirds, you know, skivity riz or whatever the hell
- 4:35Speaker 3: it is, sixty I nearly said sixty nine, what is it?
- 4:38Speaker 4: Six seven six six seven, and all this.
- 4:41Speaker 5: Gas stop, We stop with the hand motions tonight.
- 4:44Speaker 3: Where is the job of the teachers to get the
- 4:47Speaker 3: kids out of those stupid habits and to teach them reality,
- 4:51Speaker 3: and that involves teaching them the real English language. Now, yes,
- 4:55Speaker 3: the English language.
- 4:57Speaker 4: Evolves, there is no doubt about that.
- 5:00Speaker 3: But these are slang terms that are not legitimate English words.
- 5:05Speaker 3: You're not going to find them in a dictionary, though
- 5:07Speaker 3: I suppose the way we're going they will turn up
- 5:09Speaker 3: in a dictionary pretty quickly. But they're not real words
- 5:12Speaker 3: that you would find in a dictionary. They're not words
- 5:14Speaker 3: that you would want students to use in an assignment
- 5:17Speaker 3: or an essay or whatever that they were writing. So
- 5:21Speaker 3: I think, yes, teachers should avoid using that kind of
- 5:23Speaker 3: slang in the classroom is you know whatever, but stuff
- 5:27Speaker 3: like aora farming in order, like, you've got to be
- 5:31Speaker 3: relatable to students to some degree. You shouldn't be so
- 5:35Speaker 3: open minded that your brain falls out.
- 5:37Speaker 6: Yeah, but Caleb, it doesn't mean that they're not learning.
- 5:39Speaker 6: It doesn't mean that they're not learning the proper English.
- 5:41Speaker 6: That's got nothing to do with it. But if a
- 5:43Speaker 6: teacher is, in that sense trying to be cool, trying
- 5:47Speaker 6: to be relatable, why not when you were at school.
- 5:50Speaker 5: When you were at school.
- 5:51Speaker 6: And you had teachers that you considered cool, didn't you
- 5:54Speaker 6: enjoy going to their classrooms?
- 5:56Speaker 3: But they weren't cool because they were using the same
- 5:58Speaker 3: language that really using in the school yard. They were
- 6:01Speaker 3: cool because they were good teachers. Maybe a bit lenient
- 6:05Speaker 3: at times on certain things, but they were just good
- 6:07Speaker 3: teachers with good personalities. It wasn't about the slang words
- 6:11Speaker 3: that were coming.
- 6:11Speaker 5: In we had.
- 6:12Speaker 6: I recall having a lot of fun teachers that would
- 6:14Speaker 6: slip in a bit of lingo here and there.
- 6:16Speaker 4: What were they doing back in the back in your back.
- 6:19Speaker 6: In my d I can't I can't quite remember, but
- 6:20Speaker 6: I just remember them being relatable and just fun and
- 6:23Speaker 6: they used to say things tongue in cheek, and so
- 6:25Speaker 6: we used to go that person, great teacher, love this class.
- 6:28Speaker 5: And you go the next class and you'd fall asleep
- 6:30Speaker 5: on your desk.
- 6:30Speaker 2: I think in terms of relatability, that seems a very
- 6:33Speaker 2: shallow level just because you cut sick with some you know.
- 6:37Speaker 5: No, I disagree, I just agree. I disagree. I don't
- 6:40Speaker 5: think I under estimation power of social media.
- 6:43Speaker 2: Relatable teachers are ones who know their topic and who
- 6:46Speaker 2: genuinely care about kids.
- 6:47Speaker 1: I think that is real and that comes.
- 6:49Speaker 6: Through you have to you have to be on their
- 6:51Speaker 6: level a little bit. I'm not saying like, you know.
- 6:53Speaker 2: Well, I tried to be on everyone's level at the
- 6:55Speaker 2: start of the show, and you mocked me for it, and.
- 6:57Speaker 5: I wouldn't say you again. I just that's that's just
- 6:59Speaker 5: not relating, because.
- 7:00Speaker 3: We're acknowledging that when people who are older than jenn
- 7:03Speaker 3: Alf do it, it looks and sounds stupid. So you
- 7:06Speaker 3: might be trying to relate to the students, but you
- 7:08Speaker 3: make yourself look like an idiot.
- 7:10Speaker 2: I think you could have made that example with a
- 7:11Speaker 2: little more moderate language.
- 7:13Speaker 1: When you're talking.
- 7:13Speaker 3: About I'm talking about all of us I'm talking about.
- 7:17Speaker 5: All of us here.
- 7:17Speaker 3: I don't think I look particularly cool doing it either.
- 7:20Speaker 3: I think it just makes you look stupid. And you
- 7:23Speaker 3: don't want to teach her to come across as stupid,
- 7:25Speaker 3: do you? You don't wouldn't have thought about that, Caleb Well,
- 7:28Speaker 3: I will lock.
- 7:29Speaker 4: In and introduce the next topic I suppose.
- 7:32Speaker 3: Which is that in the sky News you Gov Pulse poll,
- 7:36Speaker 3: apparently most Labor voters don't know who ought to replace
- 7:40Speaker 3: the Prime Minister if and when he goes. Now, there's
- 7:42Speaker 3: a lot of talk that Anthony Albernez he may will
- 7:45Speaker 3: leave by the time or not leave, I should say,
- 7:48Speaker 3: but he won't put his hand up again to run
- 7:50Speaker 3: full PM. By the time the next election comes around,
- 7:53Speaker 3: he'll announce his intention to leave politics and go and
- 7:56Speaker 3: enjoy himself at Copa Kabana with his wife.
- 8:00Speaker 4: So in the pole.
- 8:01Speaker 3: People were asked who they thought ought to replace the
- 8:06Speaker 3: Prime minister. Forty seven percent of people said they didn't know.
- 8:10Speaker 3: Now what you can see on the screen, there are
- 8:12Speaker 3: the options they were given. Jim Charmers the treasure of
- 8:14Speaker 3: twenty six percent, Tenure per six thirteen percent, Richard Marles
- 8:18Speaker 3: five percent, Tony Burke five percent and Mark Butler the
- 8:23Speaker 3: Health Ministry of course four percent, but that leads forty
- 8:26Speaker 3: seven percent. You have no idea who would replace the PM.
- 8:29Speaker 3: And these are labor voters. So the people who say
- 8:32Speaker 3: they will vote labor, who you would think would be
- 8:34Speaker 3: plugged into the Labor Party, they don't know who ought
- 8:37Speaker 3: to come next. Now I would have thought she went
- 8:40Speaker 3: back two months. Jim Charmers would have had a much
- 8:43Speaker 3: higher number than twenty six percent, but maybe things haven't
- 8:46Speaker 3: gone so well for him after the budget.
- 8:48Speaker 4: But it does pose the.
- 8:49Speaker 3: Question who would you actually replace the Prime Minister with
- 8:54Speaker 3: if he said I'm retiring or you know, I've.
- 8:57Speaker 4: Got to leave politics for whatever reason.
- 8:59Speaker 3: In in the Labor Party, which has ninety four people
- 9:04Speaker 3: in the lower House, which of them would you actually
- 9:06Speaker 3: look at and go, actually, yeah, that's that's the bloke
- 9:10Speaker 3: I want for PM.
- 9:12Speaker 4: It feels like there's a real dearth to be perfectly.
- 9:14Speaker 3: Honest, which I think is what is showing up in
- 9:17Speaker 3: this poll. I reckon honestly, the best of the bunch,
- 9:20Speaker 3: if you had to pick, would be Richard Marles. He's
- 9:23Speaker 3: of the labor right, not the labor left. Unlike this
- 9:26Speaker 3: Prime minister. He's a reasonably safe pair of hands. I
- 9:30Speaker 3: think I think he's a more sensible person than the
- 9:34Speaker 3: Prime Minister is at times.
- 9:36Speaker 4: But if it's not him, I reckon Chris balon.
- 9:39Speaker 3: Chris bar should be the Prime Minister because it will
- 9:43Speaker 3: guarantee that the Labor Party loses and does not get
- 9:46Speaker 3: re elected for.
- 9:46Speaker 4: Another three terms. Are you going to be brilliant?
- 9:49Speaker 3: Imagine imagine what the bloke could do in a year flat.
- 9:52Speaker 6: It would be so well. I mean, here's the part
- 9:53Speaker 6: he's part time. He could be the part time Prime
- 9:55Speaker 6: Minister for part time manager.
- 9:57Speaker 4: That would be a good thing.
- 9:58Speaker 5: Actually it would be a great thing.
- 10:00Speaker 4: Least government, the better.
- 10:01Speaker 5: I totally agree.
- 10:02Speaker 1: I still a president.
- 10:03Speaker 5: Oh you have to call him president?
- 10:05Speaker 1: He president. He wouldn't condescend.
- 10:09Speaker 6: I know we could never lower him just to be
- 10:10Speaker 6: Prime Minister. Of Chris Bowen is the most presidential of
- 10:13Speaker 6: them all, a real, absolute star star of the show.
- 10:17Speaker 6: But do you remember, even going back a couple of
- 10:19Speaker 6: months ago, there were rumors of a rift or a
- 10:21Speaker 6: growing rift between Jim Charmers and Anthony Abereneze because they
- 10:24Speaker 6: were such leadership rivals, and you would have thought going
- 10:28Speaker 6: a few years back that Jim Chalmers certainly had his
- 10:30Speaker 6: eye on that top job. But now you wouldn't want
- 10:32Speaker 6: to go near him as Prime minister. He is is
- 10:34Speaker 6: bungled absolutely everything in the economy now might be surprised
- 10:38Speaker 6: by my labor picks. If I absolutely had to choose,
- 10:41Speaker 6: I was even thinking Jason Clair. Jason Clair, Education Minister,
- 10:46Speaker 6: Jason Clair. I think you know, in terms of commentary,
- 10:50Speaker 6: in terms of the spots that I do see when
- 10:52Speaker 6: he does the breakfast rounds, he holds himself together quite
- 10:55Speaker 6: well compared to other labor MPs. I will say he
- 10:58Speaker 6: is the only one that genuinely shows I do actually
- 11:01Speaker 6: think he cares about the state of the country, and
- 11:03Speaker 6: I think he's actually done some good stuff in the
- 11:05Speaker 6: education field. So if I had to pick, it would
- 11:08Speaker 6: be Jason Clair, followed by Richard Marles as well, basically
- 11:12Speaker 6: for the same reasons you said, a safe pair of hands.
- 11:15Speaker 5: But gee, it's slim pickings, isn't it.
- 11:17Speaker 2: I think what's interesting is Anthony Albanesi has put his
- 11:20Speaker 2: main leadership rivals into very unenviable positions. Jim Chalmers, of course,
- 11:25Speaker 2: has had to chop and change with all of the
- 11:28Speaker 2: taxation and budget measures, his star has certainly faded. Tanya
- 11:33Speaker 2: Plebasek rates well among people, but she's the Minister for Water,
- 11:37Speaker 2: so she's hardly being given an opportunity to shine. And
- 11:41Speaker 2: then you've got Mark Butler, who's leadership contender, being given
- 11:44Speaker 2: the NDIS so you can figet about his career going forward.
- 11:47Speaker 2: And then the other thing Elbow does is he surrounds
- 11:49Speaker 2: himself with nincoan poops like you've got Chris Bowen, Katie
- 11:53Speaker 2: Gallagher Pat Conroy who make Anthony Albanezi look good. This
- 11:58Speaker 2: would be my tip if you have to replace Anthony Albanezi.
- 12:01Speaker 2: We've been asked to come up with two suggestions. My
- 12:03Speaker 2: number one would be replacing with a focus group from
- 12:06Speaker 2: Western Sydney, because if you did that, no one would
- 12:08Speaker 2: realize there'd been a change of leadership in the country.
- 12:11Speaker 2: It would just keep running like it is. And my
- 12:13Speaker 2: second pick would be Jason Clair.
- 12:15Speaker 5: Oh there you go, So you thought Jason Clair too.
- 12:18Speaker 1: Not because I think he's particularly good.
- 12:19Speaker 2: He's just, to me, the least offensive of the Labor
- 12:23Speaker 2: Cabinet members.
- 12:23Speaker 6: Yeah, I agree, Look it is really slim pickings, but
- 12:26Speaker 6: I think that Jason Clair at least comes across more
- 12:31Speaker 6: prime ministerial.
- 12:32Speaker 5: Well, he speaks well given streams at least, not that
- 12:35Speaker 5: I agree. I do agree with that, but because.
- 12:38Speaker 1: Others are more hysterical.
- 12:39Speaker 2: What about Curius at Penny Wong doesn't feature in any
- 12:42Speaker 2: of these polls at all.
- 12:44Speaker 4: He's in the Senate.
- 12:45Speaker 1: That's probably why jameson a little bit in the center.
- 12:52Speaker 5: You know who we are forgetting.
- 12:53Speaker 6: You guys have forgotten a very key member of the
- 12:55Speaker 6: Labor Party, Andrew Giles. Forgot the failed Andrew Giles experience him.
- 13:04Speaker 6: I've got to bring back Andrew Giles. Gee, that was
- 13:06Speaker 6: an absolute shocker.
- 13:08Speaker 4: I reckon.
- 13:08Speaker 3: I reckon they should actually get Letho back, put Latham
- 13:11Speaker 3: in there top based Elbow because because Elbow would absolutely
- 13:15Speaker 3: hate that, and so it.
- 13:16Speaker 4: Would be bloody brilliant. I reckon.
- 13:18Speaker 5: What would his title be?
- 13:19Speaker 4: Will be prime minister?
- 13:20Speaker 5: Prime Minister? Yeah, it would have to be, wouldn't it.
- 13:23Speaker 3: It could have happened in four But here's our chance,
- 13:26Speaker 3: get rid of Albow, make it later.
- 13:28Speaker 5: All right, there you go, Caleb, Caleb, Caleb, I said
- 13:31Speaker 5: it first.
- 13:31Speaker 6: All right, let's move on now to our friends over
- 13:33Speaker 6: at the ABC. They're running a new prop propaganda program.
- 13:38Speaker 6: This one is titled stuff the British Stole. The title
- 13:42Speaker 6: speaks for itself. Yes, the evil British Empire, the evil
- 13:45Speaker 6: Brits who founded this great country. There goes your taxpayer
- 13:48Speaker 6: dollars at work. But in one of its latest episodes,
- 13:51Speaker 6: filmmaker Mark Fennell he visits an Australian school and asks
- 13:55Speaker 6: a group of students and most of them you'll see
- 13:57Speaker 6: the clip in a second are of Asian Australian appearance,
- 14:00Speaker 6: and they ask how would you redesign the national flag?
- 14:04Speaker 6: Already this is going absolutely swimmingly, isn't it that this
- 14:07Speaker 6: is a sort of indoctrination?
- 14:09Speaker 5: This was the answer. One thing that none of you
- 14:12Speaker 5: have included is the Union.
- 14:14Speaker 3: Jack.
- 14:15Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess we don't really associate ourselves with the
- 14:17Speaker 2: British that much like in modern Australia.
- 14:20Speaker 4: Because it doesn't really feel like us as a nation.
- 14:23Speaker 6: Anymore, doesn't feel like us as a nation anymore. Gee,
- 14:30Speaker 6: I wonder where they're getting this from now. It made
- 14:33Speaker 6: me wonder what are they actually being taught in the
- 14:36Speaker 6: classrooms that they don't feel connected to the Australian flag,
- 14:40Speaker 6: that perhaps that don't understand the significance of the Australian flag.
- 14:44Speaker 6: Is this a sort of indoctrinations one in the classroom
- 14:47Speaker 6: and two the propaganda that has been pushed by the
- 14:51Speaker 6: ABC to basically suggest that they shouldn't understand the Australian flag.
- 14:56Speaker 3: Now.
- 14:56Speaker 5: I don't know about you, two, but when I was at.
- 14:57Speaker 6: School, we did extensive history about Australia. We did have
- 15:02Speaker 6: multicultural days where we all had to dress up as
- 15:04Speaker 6: our heritage. So I remember coming into the classroom with
- 15:08Speaker 6: an Italian outfit on. But these kids, as part of
- 15:12Speaker 6: this clip prior to that, were basically saying, well, we've
- 15:15Speaker 6: got all these different cultures, so the Australian flag simply
- 15:19Speaker 6: doesn't fit.
- 15:20Speaker 5: Well, we are Australia.
- 15:22Speaker 6: We may have a multicultural nation, whether for right or
- 15:25Speaker 6: whether for wrong, but we still have our own values.
- 15:29Speaker 5: Under that one Australian flag. And this is why the
- 15:32Speaker 5: culture wars.
- 15:33Speaker 6: Matter, because it is bringing up this next generation who
- 15:37Speaker 6: don't seem to resonate with Australia nor Australian values, and
- 15:40Speaker 6: I worry that they will grow up hating Australia, like
- 15:43Speaker 6: we've seen from a lot of left wing activists.
- 15:44Speaker 1: I think you make a really good point about the
- 15:46Speaker 1: education system.
- 15:47Speaker 2: And the other thing about these kids is that generation
- 15:50Speaker 2: has grown up never seeing an Australian flag typically flying
- 15:55Speaker 2: in its own right. It's always one of three flags,
- 15:58Speaker 2: two of which are race base and then there's this
- 16:02Speaker 2: Ossie flag in the middle. So is it any wonder
- 16:04Speaker 2: that they're a little bit, you know, unsympathetic to the
- 16:09Speaker 2: national flag. The other point about this is isn't it
- 16:11Speaker 2: the job of the taxpayer funded broadcaster to unite Australians
- 16:16Speaker 2: around our national symbols, not to undermine them, and especially
- 16:20Speaker 2: not with the next generation.
- 16:22Speaker 3: Well, I don't know why they're going around asking school
- 16:24Speaker 3: students to redesign the national flag for a TV program.
- 16:29Speaker 3: It's a very odd thing to do, but of course
- 16:31Speaker 3: it advances the sort of agendas that some on the
- 16:34Speaker 3: ABC like to push. And I think what was demonstrated there,
- 16:39Speaker 3: which is sort of going to your point, Danika, is
- 16:41Speaker 3: that we have a great deal of historical and literacy
- 16:45Speaker 3: in this country, and you know, we're a relatively young
- 16:49Speaker 3: nation and yet we still understand a lot of people
- 16:53Speaker 3: understand so little about this country's establishment and what has
- 16:57Speaker 3: happened since then. I mean, one of the greatest exams
- 17:00Speaker 3: of it, of course, is that somehow Captain James Cook
- 17:04Speaker 3: has become the lightning rod and the person who gets
- 17:08Speaker 3: all the ire of those who think that colonialism was
- 17:11Speaker 3: a bad thing. But of course Captain James Cook had
- 17:14Speaker 3: nothing to do with the settlement of Australia. He was
- 17:17Speaker 3: killed nine years beforehand in Hawaii. But I don't think
- 17:22Speaker 3: any of these people actually understand who Captain Cook was,
- 17:26Speaker 3: or what he did, or his involvement in the establishment
- 17:29Speaker 3: of Australia. They're going after the wrong people. I mean,
- 17:32Speaker 3: I think it must be ten years ago. I wrote
- 17:35Speaker 3: a column after there was a story in South Australia
- 17:39Speaker 3: and I'd only left school the year prior where they
- 17:42Speaker 3: got rid of Australian history as a year twelve elective subject,
- 17:48Speaker 3: because from memory it was something like fifteen year twelve
- 17:51Speaker 3: students in the whole state elected to do Australian history
- 17:56Speaker 3: and so there was no school that would put it
- 17:58Speaker 3: on because they didn't have enough students to justify. The
- 18:02Speaker 3: only way they could have done it is to have
- 18:04Speaker 3: one class at one school somewhere and you'd have to
- 18:06Speaker 3: travel halfway across Adelaide or the state in order to
- 18:10Speaker 3: go and study Australian history. I mean, how sad is
- 18:13Speaker 3: that we're sort of actively discouraging children from engaging with
- 18:17Speaker 3: these things. And so I guess if that's what we're doing,
- 18:21Speaker 3: it actually makes perfect sense that you would feel like
- 18:24Speaker 3: there is no connection to the Union jack on our
- 18:28Speaker 3: Australian flag because what does this actually mean to you?
- 18:32Speaker 3: Probably not much at all, because no one's explained it
- 18:34Speaker 3: to you.
- 18:34Speaker 6: Well, I remember at school assemblies we had the Australian
- 18:38Speaker 6: flag flying. It was actually on stage and it was
- 18:41Speaker 6: only the Australian flag. And I'm willing to bet now
- 18:45Speaker 6: to your point that when you see this it wouldn't
- 18:47Speaker 6: be a standalone flag now, it would be the Aboriginal
- 18:50Speaker 6: flag and the Torres Strait Island of flags side by side.
- 18:53Speaker 1: It's such a big thing now.
- 18:54Speaker 2: You actually notice when you see the Australian flag on
- 18:56Speaker 2: its own it stands out because U usual these days.
- 19:00Speaker 6: Yeah, And the concern is that we now have a
- 19:02Speaker 6: new generation of self lovers that are being told to
- 19:07Speaker 6: feel guilty over what to feel, this hate of the
- 19:11Speaker 6: flag or this hate for this great country. And I
- 19:14Speaker 6: wonder how many at their school assemblies would even sing
- 19:16Speaker 6: the national anthem does that even exist anymore?
- 19:19Speaker 2: And you just don't appreciate how we got the country
- 19:23Speaker 2: that we got. And that's not to say the British
- 19:25Speaker 2: were perfect, but gee, if it wasn't for the Brits,
- 19:28Speaker 2: it would be a very different country and not a
- 19:31Speaker 2: better one.
- 19:31Speaker 5: No, I completely agree, all right.
- 19:33Speaker 2: The most popular political phrase at the moment is fire
- 19:36Speaker 2: the liar, and it's certainly cutting through. But maybe they
- 19:39Speaker 2: should bring back Tony Abbotts. Stop the boats because the
- 19:42Speaker 2: Refugee Council of Australia says that in the first five
- 19:45Speaker 2: months of this year there were twelve boats that made
- 19:49Speaker 2: it to Australia with illegal asylum seekers.
- 19:52Speaker 1: And there was another one just this week.
- 19:54Speaker 2: A group of twelve illegal migrants from China got ashore
- 20:00Speaker 2: in the far North Queensland Cape York Peninsula and they
- 20:03Speaker 2: made it to Weeper where they sat down at the
- 20:05Speaker 2: local pub to have some lunch, and that's where the
- 20:08Speaker 2: Australian Border Force caught up with them as well as
- 20:11Speaker 2: federal police. They made it to the Weeper pub to
- 20:14Speaker 2: look into some people having lunch at a cafe. The
- 20:17Speaker 2: guys just kept eating their burger. According to news reports,
- 20:20Speaker 2: they weren't too worried, but they were certainly getting questioned
- 20:23Speaker 2: and checked out. Now, I would imagine they would have
- 20:26Speaker 2: stood out because Weeper has a population of just over
- 20:29Speaker 2: four thousand people. And I did a bit of looking
- 20:33Speaker 2: around online this afternoon, and the best I could come
- 20:36Speaker 2: up with a couple of websites said there's less than
- 20:39Speaker 2: ten Chinese people living in Weeper. So if all of
- 20:43Speaker 2: a sudden you had a dozen at the local pub
- 20:45Speaker 2: having lunch, word would get around. The primary job of
- 20:51Speaker 2: a government is to ensure national sovereignty. Anthony Albaneze has
- 20:56Speaker 2: taken to using that a lot, especially when you talk
- 20:58Speaker 2: about Donald Trump. The emphasisers, well, we do what a
- 21:00Speaker 2: sovereign nation does, and we make our own decisions. But
- 21:03Speaker 2: surely the first part of being a sovereign nation is
- 21:06Speaker 2: having secure borders.
- 21:08Speaker 1: And if we've got.
- 21:09Speaker 2: Boats continuing to arrive at our northern border without being intercepted,
- 21:14Speaker 2: and it's only when locals at the Weeper pub ring
- 21:17Speaker 2: border force and say there's more Chinese here than normal?
- 21:21Speaker 2: Is there something going on? And then the police think
- 21:23Speaker 2: we better come and check it out.
- 21:25Speaker 1: That's not a good thing.
- 21:27Speaker 6: No, Well, I actually had to google Weeper because i'd
- 21:29Speaker 6: never heard of weeper, but yeah, it's really up the
- 21:32Speaker 6: far it's Far Far.
- 21:33Speaker 1: Eight hundred k's northwest of cams.
- 21:36Speaker 6: Yeah, so it's almost at the tip basically of Far
- 21:39Speaker 6: North Queensland. And so you're right when it's got a
- 21:41Speaker 6: population of just over four thousand, I think people would
- 21:44Speaker 6: have been going they're ordering burgers and fries here, But
- 21:47Speaker 6: we don't quite know who these two these chaps are.
- 21:51Speaker 6: But this is not the first time we've seen a
- 21:52Speaker 6: slip up like this.
- 21:53Speaker 5: You might recall a couple of.
- 21:54Speaker 6: Years ago that it happened in Far North of Western
- 21:58Speaker 6: Australia where there were a group that had managed to
- 22:01Speaker 6: get on shore and it was only because of Aboriginals
- 22:05Speaker 6: using their technique.
- 22:06Speaker 4: They're playing with when they're playing with dramas.
- 22:08Speaker 3: They were playing, they were like, right were these people?
- 22:11Speaker 6: And they found these people they had just wrapped up
- 22:14Speaker 6: in the bush and they were the one who actually
- 22:17Speaker 6: alerted border force to the fact that these people.
- 22:19Speaker 5: Have made it to the mainland.
- 22:21Speaker 6: Now, we do remember those dreaded rud Gillard Rudd years
- 22:24Speaker 6: when you had boats on the daily it was an
- 22:26Speaker 6: absolute disaster. But the fact that people have still managed
- 22:30Speaker 6: to slip through under this labor government shows that though
- 22:33Speaker 6: they don't they do not have control of Australia's borders,
- 22:36Speaker 6: and then they don't know whether people are coming or going.
- 22:38Speaker 4: It's a pretty bad cock up, isn't it.
- 22:40Speaker 3: I mean, how do you, Oh, look that there's this
- 22:43Speaker 3: boat I mean allegedly coming all the way from China,
- 22:46Speaker 3: so they had a little bit of time to try
- 22:48Speaker 3: and detect them. Oh there is this boat just you know,
- 22:51Speaker 3: lazily floating up to Cape York.
- 22:53Speaker 4: I wonder what's going on here?
- 22:55Speaker 2: To be fair, there was a Chinese warship firing its
- 22:59Speaker 2: guns or it's Sydney and the government didn't know.
- 23:02Speaker 3: Look, I think what it means is that we need
- 23:04Speaker 3: to have more virgin planes flying around trying to keep
- 23:07Speaker 3: an eye on boats that are coming into Australian waters.
- 23:10Speaker 3: To be quite frank, I mean, this is just ridiculous.
- 23:14Speaker 3: These things just.
- 23:15Speaker 4: Should not happen.
- 23:16Speaker 3: Now, you know, we should take some solace in the
- 23:18Speaker 3: fact that it's not happening every day like it did
- 23:20Speaker 3: under the Rugullard years. But there is an element I
- 23:23Speaker 3: think of people think, well, under a labor government, they're
- 23:26Speaker 3: more likely to give it a go because they may
- 23:28Speaker 3: will slip through the cracks and see what happens. Now,
- 23:30Speaker 3: they did slip through the cracks. Eventually they found them.
- 23:33Speaker 3: But I got to say, maybe these chaps ought to
- 23:36Speaker 3: be allowed to stay in Australia because within hours of
- 23:40Speaker 3: being on Australian soil they demonstrated their desire to be Aussie's.
- 23:46Speaker 4: Because what's the first.
- 23:47Speaker 5: Thing they did?
- 23:48Speaker 4: They went to the boozer, They went to the pub.
- 23:51Speaker 4: I mean, what could be more Aussie than rocking up?
- 23:53Speaker 4: And the first thing you do is you go to
- 23:55Speaker 4: the pub. I reckon, we give these That's exactly what one.
- 24:02Speaker 5: But hang on, Cayleb. What else is there to do
- 24:04Speaker 5: in Weeper?
- 24:05Speaker 1: Yeah? Good point?
- 24:05Speaker 5: Well what else is there? I mean, I don't know you've.
- 24:07Speaker 1: Been to Weep as I've not been to Weeper.
- 24:10Speaker 5: What else is there? Probably a pub?
- 24:11Speaker 1: And well there's probably a couple of pubs, maybe no.
- 24:16Speaker 6: One else else there being I'm curious to know I
- 24:19Speaker 6: should have had.
- 24:20Speaker 4: They just go to the pub.
- 24:21Speaker 3: They sound like some you know, stand up Aussie blokes.
- 24:24Speaker 6: If you have been to your house, Caleb, then if
- 24:26Speaker 6: you want to house them.
- 24:28Speaker 1: In Queens just before we move on, is it possible?
- 24:31Speaker 2: So locals alerted the authorities, right, yes, Denik, you mentioned
- 24:35Speaker 2: earlier it was a group of indigenous people mucking around
- 24:38Speaker 2: with drones.
- 24:38Speaker 1: Who alerted authorities.
- 24:40Speaker 2: So you know, the Refugee Council says twelve boats in
- 24:43Speaker 2: the first five months.
- 24:44Speaker 1: Is that that we know of?
- 24:46Speaker 6: Well, that's a good question. There could be some that
- 24:49Speaker 6: have gone undetected. I mean, simply, we just don't know.
- 24:52Speaker 6: I think it was lucky in this case that this
- 24:54Speaker 6: was such a.
- 24:55Speaker 1: Few cases it's been lucky.
- 24:57Speaker 5: But it's been lucky.
- 24:58Speaker 6: But I think it, you know what, credit to the
- 25:00Speaker 6: locals who have helped out in this circumstances. Going there's
- 25:03Speaker 6: some people that just don't look like they belong in
- 25:05Speaker 6: this area. Maybe they're easy to pick. I don't know,
- 25:07Speaker 6: would you be able to spot a boat of asylum.
- 25:10Speaker 2: Maybe the publican would be really disappointed they were reported
- 25:12Speaker 2: because like people in weeper, that's like would have.
- 25:16Speaker 6: Been by punts and bloody hell, where are they getting
- 25:19Speaker 6: the money from?
- 25:20Speaker 1: Though?
- 25:20Speaker 5: Doing a lot much money there.
- 25:22Speaker 3: I would imagine, but you know they're doing the locals
- 25:25Speaker 3: out of jobs.
- 25:25Speaker 4: I think that's a it's a terrible thing.
- 25:27Speaker 3: Let them sit there in the pub and drink and
- 25:29Speaker 3: you know, paul In Hanson would like, now, would you
- 25:34Speaker 3: believe it? It is Pride Month? And actually it did
- 25:37Speaker 3: Pride Month, just end. I think June is Pride month.
- 25:40Speaker 3: It's a bit hard to tell.
- 25:41Speaker 1: Them finish in the US and it's about to stay.
- 25:43Speaker 3: Something like this, because overnight there was a post online
- 25:47Speaker 3: from the Royal family saying that who had come to
- 25:50Speaker 3: visit the Queen but JK Rowling, of course, the author
- 25:53Speaker 3: of the Harry Potty Harry Potty, Harry Potty. That's a
- 25:58Speaker 3: very different book Potty.
- 26:03Speaker 1: I read it. It was crap.
- 26:06Speaker 4: Anyway.
- 26:06Speaker 3: And JK Rowling has gone around to meet the Queen
- 26:09Speaker 3: and they've posted on the Instagram with a shared passion
- 26:12Speaker 3: for books and a deep commitment to children reading for
- 26:15Speaker 3: pleasure Her majesty, and was rolling discuss the importance of
- 26:18Speaker 3: ensuring that young people have access to books and the
- 26:21Speaker 3: vital part of reading plays in opening doors for future generations.
- 26:25Speaker 4: They might be saying, what is Pride Month had.
- 26:27Speaker 1: To do with all this?
- 26:27Speaker 4: Well, apparently it.
- 26:29Speaker 3: Is Pride Month, and so people are going absolutely crackers
- 26:33Speaker 3: over the fact that JK. Rowling, who of course has
- 26:36Speaker 3: been outspoken about the rights of biological women when it
- 26:40Speaker 3: comes to the whole transgender business, that she would be
- 26:43Speaker 3: invited to come and talk to the Queen during Pride month.
- 26:46Speaker 3: This apparently means that the royal family is transphobic or
- 26:50Speaker 3: something or another. Here's a small selection of what people
- 26:53Speaker 3: have posted online. One person commented, queer kids read, trans
- 26:57Speaker 3: kids read a real queen would if in them not
- 27:01Speaker 3: my queen?
- 27:02Speaker 4: Well, sorry, that can't really be changed.
- 27:04Speaker 3: Someone else said, I wouldn't have taken her majesty for
- 27:07Speaker 3: a transphobe.
- 27:09Speaker 4: So disappointing, And all.
- 27:11Speaker 3: She's doing is standing next to the highest selling living
- 27:15Speaker 3: children's author. I don't think that says anything about her
- 27:18Speaker 3: politics whatsoever. Now that says so disappointing. So tone death,
- 27:24Speaker 3: I think tone death is what you mean there. Perhaps
- 27:26Speaker 3: you need to read a few more books and get
- 27:29Speaker 3: yourself acquainted with the language. Maybe this person had one
- 27:31Speaker 3: of those teachers that gets around saying riz.
- 27:33Speaker 4: Or afarming all the time.
- 27:35Speaker 3: But I mean, for goodness sake, so you can't have,
- 27:38Speaker 3: as I said before, the highest selling living.
- 27:41Speaker 4: Children's author in the world go.
- 27:44Speaker 3: Around to talk to the queen about books without Well
- 27:49Speaker 3: that's somehow a reflection on her politics.
- 27:52Speaker 4: It has nothing to do with it.
- 27:53Speaker 3: I mean when people talk about cancel culture, this is
- 27:56Speaker 3: what cancel culture is. You're taking one thing that is
- 28:00Speaker 3: completely unrelated that.
- 28:02Speaker 4: You don't like about a person and then.
- 28:04Speaker 3: Applying it to absolutely everything else. And what they're suggesting
- 28:07Speaker 3: is that JK. Rowling should not have any standing in
- 28:10Speaker 3: the community whatsoever or be recognized for any of the
- 28:15Speaker 3: work she's done because she has a political view that
- 28:18Speaker 3: they don't like.
- 28:20Speaker 1: It's interesting the progression, isn't it.
- 28:21Speaker 2: So the gay movement started out wanting equality, and so
- 28:28Speaker 2: they got that, but that wasn't enough. Then they wanted rights,
- 28:32Speaker 2: which was different to equality. They wanted special rights, and
- 28:35Speaker 2: you could list a dozen of them.
- 28:37Speaker 1: Including their own month.
- 28:39Speaker 2: And now they've moved on from that to we want
- 28:41Speaker 2: a demanding ideological purity. So if you don't agree with
- 28:46Speaker 2: everything that we say and with our agenda, then who
- 28:49Speaker 2: cares that you are the most prolific children's author in
- 28:52Speaker 2: the world. The queen who's the patron of the National
- 28:55Speaker 2: Literacy Trust has no right to invite you to speak
- 29:00Speaker 2: about the subject on which you are an expert because
- 29:03Speaker 2: on LGBTQ issues you don't pass the purity test. That's
- 29:09Speaker 2: quite a journey from we just want equality to if
- 29:13Speaker 2: you don't agree with our entire agenda, you're not worth
- 29:16Speaker 2: being listened to at all.
- 29:17Speaker 6: You're canceled, as Caleb said, you cancel culture. Firstly, can
- 29:21Speaker 6: I just say I'm so excited that the Queen got
- 29:23Speaker 6: to meet Camilla today. What an amazing moment.
- 29:26Speaker 5: Do you get what I said? The Queen got to
- 29:27Speaker 5: meet Camilla? Anyway, it doesn't matter what.
- 29:30Speaker 4: Are you saying. Jk Rowling is the Queen?
- 29:32Speaker 5: Yeah, don't you think she's a queen? She's amazing. I
- 29:35Speaker 5: rate jk Rowling in general.
- 29:38Speaker 6: In general, well, okay, we'll find she inspired an entire
- 29:41Speaker 6: generation to use the imagination, did she not?
- 29:43Speaker 5: Through her work on Harry Potter? She is an incredible role.
- 29:46Speaker 6: Model when it comes to women's rights because they are
- 29:49Speaker 6: being raised at the hands of some biological men who
- 29:52Speaker 6: claim to be women and throughout, you know, without fear
- 29:55Speaker 6: or favor. This is a woman who has campaigned and
- 29:57Speaker 6: she has been absolutely bullied harassed by the left who
- 30:01Speaker 6: have called her all sorts of things, and she's gone,
- 30:03Speaker 6: well stick it. I'm going to continue to stick to
- 30:05Speaker 6: my guns. So good on her and the Queen. May
- 30:08Speaker 6: I just say is also a great champion for women
- 30:11Speaker 6: and children. She champions homeless shelters.
- 30:15Speaker 5: She's very much in women's rights.
- 30:18Speaker 6: And this whole point of this whole exercise was to
- 30:22Speaker 6: inspire people to read.
- 30:24Speaker 5: That is what this was for. And you have got
- 30:27Speaker 5: the left, who, as always they're.
- 30:29Speaker 6: Meant to be the most tolerant, the holier than thou,
- 30:32Speaker 6: Yet they're going after the monarchy now for what for what?
- 30:38Speaker 6: It's got nothing to do with anything to do with
- 30:41Speaker 6: the trans movement.
- 30:42Speaker 5: It's got to do with reading.
- 30:44Speaker 6: For reading, for goodness sake, And it's just extraordinary that
- 30:48Speaker 6: what because it's Pride month. No, you're not allowed to
- 30:50Speaker 6: do anything. You're not allowed to meet up with people.
- 30:53Speaker 6: You're not allowed to post photos with people who are
- 30:55Speaker 6: against this movement because that makes you a transphobe or
- 30:58Speaker 6: it makes you homophobic.
- 31:00Speaker 5: I mean, give me a break.
- 31:01Speaker 2: That's a really good point, because that was a common
- 31:04Speaker 2: theme in comments on the Instagram post, is that, like,
- 31:07Speaker 2: if you're going to meet with JK.
- 31:09Speaker 1: Rowling, who's heretic because she happens to.
- 31:11Speaker 2: Believe in biology, please, for the love of God, don't
- 31:15Speaker 2: do it during Pride months.
- 31:16Speaker 5: That's right, Pride.
- 31:17Speaker 2: Week, because that belongs to us, and the sense of
- 31:21Speaker 2: entitlement that you must bow to everything that we believe
- 31:26Speaker 2: and say during our month, issues that are completely unrelated
- 31:30Speaker 2: to any pride or sub self.
- 31:33Speaker 6: And I also think that there's only such a small
- 31:36Speaker 6: percentage of the population who think like this. I know
- 31:40Speaker 6: a lot of gay people and they cannot stand how
- 31:43Speaker 6: the whole pride or LGBTQ movement has been hijacked by
- 31:48Speaker 6: this small percentage. You just take it to the absolute
- 31:50Speaker 6: extremes because it makes them all look.
- 31:54Speaker 5: You know a certain way.
- 31:55Speaker 6: And I know a lot of gay people who are
- 31:57Speaker 6: like I don't want to be associated with this nonsense.
- 31:59Speaker 6: I just want to go out and live my life.
- 32:00Speaker 6: Please don't include me in this nonsense behavior now.
- 32:03Speaker 3: I suggest, though, James, that the love of God may
- 32:05Speaker 3: not have had much to do with their chagrin over JK.
- 32:08Speaker 4: Rowling going to meet with the Queen.
- 32:10Speaker 1: He might be right about that.
- 32:11Speaker 2: Just before we move on, Daniko, I've got to ask
- 32:13Speaker 2: you this, which queen is more excited to meet the
- 32:16Speaker 2: other queen? Is Camilla more excited to be in the
- 32:18Speaker 2: presence of JK.
- 32:19Speaker 1: Rowling? JK Rolling more excited?
- 32:22Speaker 6: Royal Camilla's more excited to be in the presence of JK.
- 32:25Speaker 5: Rolling.
- 32:25Speaker 6: I reckon, there they are. It is the Queen met
- 32:28Speaker 6: Camilla today. I think the Queen JK. She's the goat.
- 32:32Speaker 6: As they say, well, I wonder if they'd say that
- 32:35Speaker 6: in children's classes in the classroom now to goat. I
- 32:38Speaker 6: don't knower if that one's acceptable. Look, let's stay in
- 32:41Speaker 6: the UK. Actually, Oxford and Cambridge University's two prestigious universities
- 32:45Speaker 6: over there. Imagine working your entire life to try and
- 32:49Speaker 6: get into them. You work so hard at school to
- 32:51Speaker 6: try and qualify. Perhaps you come from a poorer background,
- 32:55Speaker 6: but guess what you might not qualify for.
- 32:57Speaker 5: A scholarship if you are white.
- 33:00Speaker 6: Yes, these two universities and now looking at enrollments based
- 33:05Speaker 6: on whether or not you are of a different color.
- 33:08Speaker 6: This is actually truly, truly extraordinary stuff. White working class
- 33:12Speaker 6: students are now excluded from almost all Oxbridge diversity scholarships.
- 33:17Speaker 6: That's according to an analysis by the UK Telegraph. And
- 33:21Speaker 6: we'll bring up the graph just to show you how
- 33:24Speaker 6: unbelievable this is. So this is the number of advertised.
- 33:28Speaker 5: Bursary of scholarships.
- 33:30Speaker 6: Twenty seven point seven percent of these are for international students,
- 33:34Speaker 6: so you can see they're one hundred and seventy nine
- 33:36Speaker 6: were advertised for international students, twenty six for black minority
- 33:41Speaker 6: ethnic thirteen for refugees, and just one, just one for
- 33:48Speaker 6: white working class. I just I do not understand this.
- 33:54Speaker 6: This is firstly a two tier system.
- 33:57Speaker 5: This really, really is.
- 34:00Speaker 6: I feel like there's this perception in society where if
- 34:03Speaker 6: you're white, well, no, nothing's ever racist against white people.
- 34:08Speaker 5: This is racism.
- 34:10Speaker 6: This is point blank racism based off the color of
- 34:15Speaker 6: your skin. And we've got prestigious universities who are putting
- 34:19Speaker 6: di and quotas before the best people, the brightest minds
- 34:25Speaker 6: to take on a scholarship and represent the universities, and
- 34:30Speaker 6: I actually think it's discriminatory.
- 34:32Speaker 5: I think this is a discriminatory policy.
- 34:34Speaker 3: Well, if the idea is to have more diversity, the
- 34:38Speaker 3: first thing they could do is get some more white
- 34:40Speaker 3: working class kids into these unis, because they're not going
- 34:43Speaker 3: to Oxford or Cambridge. The National Education Opportunities Network in
- 34:49Speaker 3: twenty nineteen found that white working class students made up
- 34:52Speaker 3: less than three percent of the students at Cambridge and Oxford,
- 34:57Speaker 3: compared to thirty percent at Oxford more than thirty four
- 35:00Speaker 3: percent at Cambridge in twenty twenty three who were Black,
- 35:04Speaker 3: Asian or some other minority ethnic group. I would have
- 35:08Speaker 3: thought three percent qualifies you as a minority group. They
- 35:12Speaker 3: need to be having more scholarships for these people if
- 35:15Speaker 3: they want to have diversity at the university.
- 35:17Speaker 2: Isn't it amazing how equality policies tend to just produce
- 35:21Speaker 2: new inequalities. True, right across the board, and not just there.
- 35:25Speaker 2: There's a great example of Cambridge University. There's an engineering
- 35:28Speaker 2: scholarship and it's somehow associated with Formula one teams and
- 35:32Speaker 2: it's open to non whites or females, but no opportunity
- 35:38Speaker 2: for young white men at all.
- 35:41Speaker 5: They just that's not racist. Of course, that's not racist.
- 35:43Speaker 1: Well, you know what you said.
- 35:44Speaker 2: There's a perception that if you're racist, if if you're white,
- 35:47Speaker 2: then you can't be a victim of racism. It's more
- 35:50Speaker 2: than a perception, many people actually teaching that now true,
- 35:53Speaker 2: that if you're white you can't be a victim of racism. Yeah, anyway,
- 35:56Speaker 2: we're going to go to a break. When we come back,
- 35:58Speaker 2: we'll look at what's making news tomorrow, including Karl Stefanovic
- 36:01Speaker 2: sacked for a second time and a fraudster who should
- 36:05Speaker 2: have stayed off Instagram.
- 36:06Speaker 4: That's in the.
- 36:06Speaker 1: Papers next, Welcome back to the program.
- 36:15Speaker 2: Let's take a look at what's making headlines in tomorrow's papers,
- 36:18Speaker 2: so you get them all first on the Late Debate.
- 36:20Speaker 2: We'll start with the Courier Mail. Just a quick mention
- 36:23Speaker 2: because the editors have come up with a wonderful headline
- 36:26Speaker 2: talking about this story we referred to earlier of the
- 36:29Speaker 2: illegal asylum seekers arriving on the North End. The Bogy
- 36:35Speaker 2: smugglers reads the headline not bad at all and it
- 36:39Speaker 2: was a pretty bodgy job. They were caught fairly quickly
- 36:42Speaker 2: after coming ashore, so.
- 36:43Speaker 5: Well they bought Berger and Coke.
- 36:45Speaker 1: It says they did there. Hungry Fellers simulation complete.
- 36:48Speaker 6: Absolutely absolutely. Let's take a look at the Herald Sun tomorrow.
- 36:52Speaker 6: Extra time for pubs exclusive. Every licensed venue in the
- 36:56Speaker 6: state allowed to stay open overnight.
- 36:57Speaker 5: For four am.
- 36:58Speaker 6: Soccer Roo's Cup Clash Victor Warrior will become a round
- 37:01Speaker 6: the clock Soccero's party zone, with pubs given unprecedented permission
- 37:06Speaker 6: to open all nights so fans can support Australia at
- 37:09Speaker 6: the World Cup.
- 37:09Speaker 5: On Saturday. Fantastic.
- 37:12Speaker 6: Seriously, go the Green and Gold, get down to your
- 37:16Speaker 6: local pub, I say, and go and enjoy it and
- 37:19Speaker 6: get down to.
- 37:19Speaker 5: The Weeper pub if you're and you know, support support
- 37:25Speaker 5: your country.
- 37:26Speaker 3: So no doubt we'll find you at the pub at
- 37:28Speaker 3: four aim on Saturday.
- 37:29Speaker 4: Deneco.
- 37:29Speaker 5: Obviously here we go.
- 37:32Speaker 4: Everyone else should go to the pub.
- 37:34Speaker 6: No, no, no, But you know what I actually I
- 37:38Speaker 6: always feel like you should get up and watch these things,
- 37:41Speaker 6: even if I'm sitting on the couch in pajamas.
- 37:43Speaker 5: That's fine.
- 37:44Speaker 2: Is this is a change in Victoria, right, Because didn't
- 37:47Speaker 2: they have fed Square open for first games? Yes, and
- 37:51Speaker 2: they were not going to open it. Then they changed
- 37:54Speaker 2: their mind. I think it was just to allen Captain's call,
- 37:56Speaker 2: we're going to open it. And then they had flares
- 37:58Speaker 2: going off and that's so now that's banding.
- 38:01Speaker 5: That was the last World Cup.
- 38:04Speaker 1: No no, no, no, one of the earlier games of this
- 38:06Speaker 1: World Cup.
- 38:06Speaker 2: But now they're going to keep the pubs open as
- 38:09Speaker 2: it seems like a compromise.
- 38:11Speaker 4: And maybe it's just common sense.
- 38:13Speaker 1: You split the people up into different post common sense.
- 38:15Speaker 3: The last World Capture Center Animal wasn't the premiers four
- 38:18Speaker 3: years ago Janeka.
- 38:21Speaker 5: Was it four years ago?
- 38:23Speaker 4: Every four years?
- 38:24Speaker 3: No?
- 38:24Speaker 6: Sorry, I just I remember covering it for Sky as
- 38:27Speaker 6: a reporter. What I was here is sorry, my time
- 38:31Speaker 6: perception is a little.
- 38:32Speaker 1: Bit out, and you know what it is.
- 38:32Speaker 2: It's because if your Italian background and the Italians haven't
- 38:35Speaker 2: made the Last.
- 38:37Speaker 1: That's all right.
- 38:40Speaker 3: On the front of the Mercury Tomorrow down in Tasmania,
- 38:43Speaker 3: it says Last Drinks. A high profile businessman says developing
- 38:48Speaker 3: the James Burg Brewery, siting Lon system would not be.
- 38:51Speaker 4: For the faint hearted.
- 38:52Speaker 3: As Premier Jeremy Rockcliffe jets off to Japan to discuss
- 38:55Speaker 3: the issue with Line parent company Kiran, So he's apparently
- 39:00Speaker 3: going over there because of course, a few weeks ago, Line,
- 39:03Speaker 3: which is the owner of James Bogue, announced that they
- 39:07Speaker 3: would be closing the Lawn Cyston Brewery. They've been brewing
- 39:10Speaker 3: down there for one hundred and forty five years. I
- 39:12Speaker 3: think bogues out of there. It is a long cistin beer,
- 39:16Speaker 3: but no longer. So the Premier is now going to
- 39:18Speaker 3: go over to Japan to bleed the case to keep
- 39:20Speaker 3: the brewery open in Lawn Cystein, and I hope he's successful.
- 39:24Speaker 3: Because you know, how sad to lose that history because well,
- 39:28Speaker 3: it's just easy to brew a Tasmanian beer on the mainland.
- 39:31Speaker 2: So when they say developing the site would not be
- 39:33Speaker 2: for the fainthearted, is that because it's a protected site
- 39:36Speaker 2: so it would be very difficult to turn it into
- 39:38Speaker 2: something else. Or is it because this beer brand is
- 39:41Speaker 2: so loved in Tasmania, anyone who did something on that
- 39:44Speaker 2: site would sort of I.
- 39:45Speaker 3: Suspect the Green major it tod be major pushback. I
- 39:47Speaker 3: don't know if it's heritage listed. There's a pub on
- 39:51Speaker 3: the site that may well be heritage listed. But yeah,
- 39:54Speaker 3: I suspect you'd face a lot of pushback in lawn Ceston.
- 39:57Speaker 4: Because I could. It's one of those things in Tazy.
- 39:59Speaker 3: You know, people in North drink Bogues and people in
- 40:01Speaker 3: the South drink Cascade and never the twain shall meet,
- 40:05Speaker 3: so they're.
- 40:05Speaker 4: Very protective of it.
- 40:06Speaker 3: So yes, I would just speak you'd come under a
- 40:09Speaker 3: lot of pressure if you tried to.
- 40:10Speaker 1: Do anything, all right.
- 40:11Speaker 2: The front page of the Adelaide Advertiser has the latest
- 40:14Speaker 2: Carl Stefanovick's story covered in a a lot of the
- 40:17Speaker 2: papers tomorrow. The Advertiser's gone with sacked again. Karl Stefanovic
- 40:22Speaker 2: has been fired from his new radio show with Eddie McGuire,
- 40:26Speaker 2: which would have been a great show Carl Stefanovic and
- 40:28Speaker 2: Eddie McGuire. I quite enjoyed that, but Arn have announced
- 40:33Speaker 2: that it will continue without Carl Stefanovick, just Eddie McGuire
- 40:37Speaker 2: on his own at this stage. And the last episode
- 40:39Speaker 2: was Eddie on his own while Carl was away, and
- 40:44Speaker 2: now they've announced he won't be returning at all.
- 40:46Speaker 6: What a shame, What a shame to see them pulling
- 40:49Speaker 6: out and cowering like this. I mean, come on, I'm
- 40:52Speaker 6: all for free free speech with the Karl Stefanovick situation,
- 40:55Speaker 6: and I just think it's really really sad that we
- 40:57Speaker 6: can't have these discussions because oh no, you know, people
- 41:01Speaker 6: who are too controversial. No, no, no, you get canceled for
- 41:03Speaker 6: doing that. It's ridiculous. But you know, the only winner
- 41:05Speaker 6: out of all of this is the Carl Stefanovic show.
- 41:08Speaker 3: And I mean the thing, of course, is that what
- 41:10Speaker 3: they're worried about is losing the ad revenue. Yes, and
- 41:14Speaker 3: this is what the corporates are doing, you know, I
- 41:16Speaker 3: feel sorry to some degree for broadcasting companies having to
- 41:20Speaker 3: deal with all of this stuff. But you know, the
- 41:22Speaker 3: corporates have the heavies put on them by the activists
- 41:25Speaker 3: and they go, well, we've got to do something here
- 41:28Speaker 3: and then and then the broadcasters have to cop that,
- 41:30Speaker 3: and on and on the chain goes. So you know,
- 41:32Speaker 3: from their perspective, the easiest thing to do is to
- 41:34Speaker 3: quarterize the problem because they need to make money.
- 41:38Speaker 4: It's It's really sad.
- 41:39Speaker 2: Isn't the easiest thing to do is it just ensure
- 41:41Speaker 2: there will be a lot more of this, don't They
- 41:43Speaker 2: just need to hold a couple of organizations just need
- 41:46Speaker 2: to hold their ground and if that happens a couple
- 41:48Speaker 2: of times and the act realize no point to this.
- 41:51Speaker 2: But by caving into activists, all Channel nine and now
- 41:55Speaker 2: ARN have done have ensured this will happen again.
- 41:58Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly, stand your ground and then maybe it might
- 42:02Speaker 6: keep the left at bay.
- 42:03Speaker 5: But once it's ridiculous, they do.
- 42:04Speaker 4: You have to make money as well. That's the only problem.
- 42:06Speaker 5: I do agree, And look, I do agree.
- 42:08Speaker 6: That's why I think that Channel nine pulled the pin
- 42:10Speaker 6: so quickly because they thought, well, you know, we have
- 42:13Speaker 6: a certain image to uphold and does Kyle Stefanovik get
- 42:16Speaker 6: six Am uphold.
- 42:18Speaker 1: That to two hundred thousand viewers and that they did it.
- 42:21Speaker 6: They've tanked over nine in the latest ratings. That the
- 42:24Speaker 6: Today Show has gone even further backwards. I mean they
- 42:26Speaker 6: were already going backwards against their rival over at Channel seven,
- 42:30Speaker 6: and now it's gotten even worse. And the ABC apparently
- 42:33Speaker 6: catching up the Breakfast show there now.
- 42:35Speaker 5: So yeah, there you go.
- 42:38Speaker 6: All right, let's take a look now at the Townsville
- 42:40Speaker 6: Bulletin where it is time for.
- 42:46Speaker 3: The day.
- 42:49Speaker 6: Yes, Townsville is giving us the dope of the day today.
- 42:52Speaker 5: Have a look at these fraudsters.
- 42:53Speaker 6: Instagram Blunder, a woman who racked up nearly one thousand
- 42:57Speaker 6: dollars in ill gotten game, was caught by police after
- 43:02Speaker 6: posing with the items she bought on social media.
- 43:06Speaker 5: Well, jeez, is that not a lesson?
- 43:10Speaker 6: If you're gonna nab something, maybe don't pose with the
- 43:13Speaker 6: items and do a little social media show and tell
- 43:16Speaker 6: it's probably not the best idea.
- 43:18Speaker 1: Has she never heard? If it's not on Instagram, it didn't.
- 43:21Speaker 5: Happen, correct, So.
- 43:23Speaker 1: That's that that should have gone with that.
- 43:25Speaker 6: If you take a sick day and people post on
- 43:27Speaker 6: their social media out and about.
- 43:28Speaker 1: How dumb made it easy for police.
- 43:32Speaker 5: Well, that's right, you.
- 43:33Speaker 3: Know, not all criminals are mastermind. So I suppose are they?
- 43:36Speaker 5: No, it's not. They're not smart like you gone.
- 43:39Speaker 4: I never, you're not calling me a criminal mastermand.
- 43:44Speaker 5: God, they wouldn't know that. They wouldn't know say you're coming,
- 43:48Speaker 5: because you'd have your helmet on it.
- 43:50Speaker 3: Maybe criminal or on the front of the Australian borrow.
- 43:54Speaker 4: What does it? It's his loan slide.
- 43:56Speaker 3: Text reforms hit housing world. Aneka chuckles away over there,
- 44:00Speaker 3: how much she likes her own jokes self recommendation. It's
- 44:05Speaker 3: not really much praise, is it anyway?
- 44:07Speaker 4: It says here.
- 44:07Speaker 3: A sharp slow down in loan applications as heightened fears
- 44:10Speaker 3: that the property market is cooling faster than expected, with
- 44:14Speaker 3: the Reserve Bank warning of the impact of Labour's controversial
- 44:17Speaker 3: budget tax changes and the risk it extended downturn could
- 44:20Speaker 3: slow the overall economy. The value of dwelling approvals declined
- 44:24Speaker 3: for the third consecutive month in May, a run unmatched
- 44:28Speaker 3: since the peak of COVID in twenty twenty one, while
- 44:30Speaker 3: housing credit growth has slumped to at slowest pace in
- 44:33Speaker 3: a year, as higher interest rates and text changes send
- 44:36Speaker 3: home prices and auction clearance rates tumbling. New lending is
- 44:40Speaker 3: expected to have in growth over the coming year, with
- 44:43Speaker 3: the investment house mcquarie warning in a note to clients
- 44:47Speaker 3: that the banking sector was facing a pricing war and
- 44:51Speaker 3: yet we still have the treasure and the Prime Minister
- 44:54Speaker 3: saying today, Ah, but the modeling says that prices aren't
- 44:57Speaker 3: going to go down, They're just going to grow slower
- 44:59Speaker 3: than they other wise would have. Well, the early indications
- 45:03Speaker 3: from the markets seem to suggest other wise. Domain predicted
- 45:08Speaker 3: at the start of the week that there'd be a
- 45:10Speaker 3: six percent downturn in Sydney in a seven percent downturn
- 45:13Speaker 3: in Melbourne.
- 45:14Speaker 4: That translates to.
- 45:15Speaker 3: On a median property in Sydney one hundred and twenty
- 45:18Speaker 3: two grand that you would lose over the next year,
- 45:22Speaker 3: and in Melbourne I think it's eighty four grand you
- 45:24Speaker 3: would lose over the next year.
- 45:26Speaker 4: So thanks Albow.
- 45:29Speaker 2: Really quickly before we go to the break Northern Territory
- 45:31Speaker 2: News on the front page there license to give a spray.
- 45:35Speaker 2: Teenagers as young as sixteen could soon legally carry pepper spray.
- 45:40Speaker 2: That's new laws regarding how you can defend yourself in
- 45:44Speaker 2: the Northern Territory. We're going to go to a break
- 45:45Speaker 2: when we come back, Deniko, I reckon, we have found
- 45:48Speaker 2: Australia's most committed hairdresser.
- 45:50Speaker 5: We have get ready for it.
- 45:51Speaker 1: That's up a break.
- 45:57Speaker 2: Before we went to the break, Denika was trying to
- 45:58Speaker 2: work out whether or not she would want Australia at
- 46:00Speaker 2: four am in their World Cup game. If you decide
- 46:03Speaker 2: to watch it, I hope it works out better than
- 46:05Speaker 2: this mob in your phone television.
- 46:09Speaker 5: Your phone's bloody Jesus.
- 46:13Speaker 6: I'm in the standards for me, the standards that are
- 46:16Speaker 6: being set.
- 46:16Speaker 5: Yes, look Paraguay.
- 46:18Speaker 6: Paraguay pulled off an almighty shock to book their place
- 46:22Speaker 6: in the World Cup's last sixteen against Germany.
- 46:25Speaker 5: There was a one all.
- 46:27Speaker 6: Draw before they had to go into a decisive penalty.
- 46:30Speaker 6: But have a look at this at a bar in
- 46:32Speaker 6: the capitol when they're watching it on a big screen,
- 46:36Speaker 6: when the television turned off and they came back on again,
- 46:39Speaker 6: and then there was a message saying that its subscription
- 46:41Speaker 6: had finished, but luckily they.
- 46:43Speaker 5: Saw the results. Have a look. How is it?
- 47:02Speaker 6: How would you be in that absolute iconic moment that
- 47:05Speaker 6: the television subscription.
- 47:07Speaker 4: Oh what has got off again?
- 47:11Speaker 5: Calling you?
- 47:11Speaker 1: That's Caleb.
- 47:14Speaker 6: So you know the first time neither of you have
- 47:18Speaker 6: any ris serious.
- 47:21Speaker 5: Lock it lock it in, Lock it in.
- 47:23Speaker 1: My Aura Farming is complete.
- 47:24Speaker 5: Ah yeah, both Aura Farmers serious.
- 47:27Speaker 3: I'll tell you who didn't get the opportunity to show
- 47:29Speaker 3: up there Riz last night was Serena Williams. Now any
- 47:32Speaker 3: Williams of course, came back to play at the Wimbledon
- 47:37Speaker 3: and she was up against Australian Maya Joint. She lost
- 47:40Speaker 3: the match, but afterwards, having lost, she decided that she
- 47:45Speaker 3: would not show up for the typical requisite press conference.
- 47:49Speaker 4: I mean, this is just standard stuff. Every tennis player
- 47:52Speaker 4: does it.
- 47:53Speaker 3: After a match, the reporters have a chance to ask
- 47:55Speaker 3: them how the match went, what could have been different?
- 47:58Speaker 3: I mean the worldwide interest in Serena Williams coming back
- 48:02Speaker 3: to play Wimbledon and she's like, no, I'm not going
- 48:06Speaker 3: to go and talk to the priest and therefore get
- 48:08Speaker 3: a message out to my fans.
- 48:10Speaker 4: What a sore loser.
- 48:12Speaker 6: She is a sore loser for someone who has had
- 48:14Speaker 6: so much success in her career. The fact that she
- 48:17Speaker 6: couldn't even attend a post match press conference. It puts
- 48:21Speaker 6: a sour taste in your mouth and.
- 48:22Speaker 1: There would only have been goodwill for her.
- 48:24Speaker 2: I mean to get back there at age forty four,
- 48:26Speaker 2: although Martine and Navradlova she made it for the second
- 48:29Speaker 2: round of women and I think aged forty seven.
- 48:33Speaker 1: The press conference.
- 48:35Speaker 2: There you go, all right, before we go, we've found
- 48:38Speaker 2: Australia's most committed hair dresses. Not that I get to
- 48:40Speaker 2: the hairdressers very much these days, but if you had laugh, Caleb,
