- 0:02Speaker 1: Welcome to the Lake to Bads.
- 0:06Speaker 2: Welcome to the late Debate. I'm Frey Leach, joined by
- 0:09Speaker 2: Jamie Rodgers and Joe Hildebrand. Coming up tonight, a supposed
- 0:14Speaker 2: expert in mass shootings says we shouldn't report on the
- 0:18Speaker 2: reason for the Bondai shooting. It is truly incredible what
- 0:23Speaker 2: experts manage to come up with these days. Also, Chris
- 0:27Speaker 2: Mins will recall Parliament to push through new laws around
- 0:30Speaker 2: guns and protests, and he says that's just the price
- 0:34Speaker 2: of multi culturalism. In the papers, get ready for more
- 0:38Speaker 2: government spending on NDIS and childcare as Jim Chalmers MAIFO
- 0:43Speaker 2: shows the grim reality of our nation's finances. But first,
- 0:48Speaker 2: Laura Tinkle, the Global Affairs editor at the ABC, made
- 0:52Speaker 2: an extraordinary claim. She said the attack at Bondai, which
- 0:58Speaker 2: killed fifteen innocent Jews, apparently wasn't religiously motivated.
- 1:06Speaker 3: And we should be very clear that terrorists, which is
- 1:09Speaker 3: what these two men were, got nothing to do with
- 1:11Speaker 3: religion and absolutely a radicalized these work that were targeting Jews.
- 1:16Speaker 3: It is anti Semitic, but we are ascribing all sorts
- 1:18Speaker 3: of things right. Their actions are not based on their religion.
- 1:24Speaker 2: Nothing to do with religion. That is in direct contradiction
- 1:29Speaker 2: to the charges that have been laid against Navid Akram.
- 1:34Speaker 2: The charges allege that the man engaged in conduct that
- 1:38Speaker 2: caused death, serious injury and endangered life to advance a
- 1:42Speaker 2: religious cause and cause fear in the community. Early indications
- 1:48Speaker 2: point to a terrorist attack inspired by Isis, a listed
- 1:52Speaker 2: terrorist organization in Australia. It is abundantly clear that this
- 1:57Speaker 2: attack was motivated by rad Islam. Why is Laura Tingle
- 2:03Speaker 2: unable to get herself to say those words? And how
- 2:08Speaker 2: can she claim to be objective and impartial when she
- 2:11Speaker 2: just made a bias and erroneous claim about the worst
- 2:16Speaker 2: act of religiously motivated terrorism in our nation's history. It's disgraceful.
- 2:22Speaker 2: But there's more madness with academic Glenn Greensmith, an apparent
- 2:27Speaker 2: expert in mass shootings. Well, he said, we shouldn't report
- 2:32Speaker 2: on the motives for mass shootings.
- 2:34Speaker 4: Fit the right to be heard. I don't care why
- 2:37Speaker 4: you say you did it.
- 2:39Speaker 1: I do not care.
- 2:40Speaker 4: And if we search too hard for that, and what
- 2:42Speaker 4: we tend to want to then do is say, Well,
- 2:44Speaker 4: here's all the manifestos, here's the diaries, here's their Facebook posts.
- 2:47Speaker 1: Here's every pathetic.
- 2:49Speaker 4: Screed they've ever written in our search to help you
- 2:52Speaker 4: understand why this happened. Then you've done their job.
- 2:55Speaker 2: For okay, And now I get the concern guys Jamie
- 3:00Speaker 2: Joe about not wanting to turn these terrorists into martyrs.
- 3:05Speaker 2: And the risk is if you, you know, we saw
- 3:07Speaker 2: this with Luigi Mangioni, you publish this whole manifesto, all
- 3:11Speaker 2: the widows on the Internet start worshiping these people. However,
- 3:17Speaker 2: it's to me pretty clear that the public's right to
- 3:20Speaker 2: know what caused the largest attack on Jews outside of
- 3:26Speaker 2: Israel in decades. I think that rights to know trumps
- 3:30Speaker 2: any whatever this academic's bizarre theory is about martyrdom for
- 3:36Speaker 2: mass shooters.
- 3:36Speaker 5: Yeah, look, I think there's a difference between There's a
- 3:39Speaker 5: difference between someone like the Unibama or Martin Bryant, for example,
- 3:43Speaker 5: who goes and commits a horrible, unthinkable atrocity for just
- 3:48Speaker 5: insane reasons that are fairly particular to them. And you know,
- 3:53Speaker 5: I mean, I don't understand what this guy's saying. I
- 3:56Speaker 5: think patently ridiculous in this case and absurd, which will
- 3:59Speaker 5: get But you know, if you go to Port Arthur.
- 4:01Speaker 5: For example, the memorial does not even name Martin Bryant
- 4:07Speaker 5: because it is all about those who died, and they
- 4:10Speaker 5: do not They want to sort of erase him from history.
- 4:13Speaker 5: In that place, which is, you know, which has a
- 4:16Speaker 5: sort of sacred quality to it. It's incredibly moving if
- 4:18Speaker 5: you go there. But does that mean that nobody should
- 4:21Speaker 5: know the name of Martin Bryant or know who it
- 4:23Speaker 5: was that killed these people? So again, you can make
- 4:25Speaker 5: these kind of I suppose, stylistic decisions, or if you're
- 4:28Speaker 5: dealing with the family and you're not wanting to upset them,
- 4:31Speaker 5: and media organizations do that all the time. But the
- 4:34Speaker 5: idea that you would just say, well, you know, we
- 4:36Speaker 5: found this manifesto that this person has left next to
- 4:39Speaker 5: the dead bodies of all of his victims, and we're
- 4:41Speaker 5: not going to tell you what it is because it's
- 4:42Speaker 5: not important and you don't need to know. And look,
- 4:45Speaker 5: it's possible that you know that that may create you know,
- 4:49Speaker 5: copycat killers, but to be honest, I think they're probably
- 4:52Speaker 5: going to do it anyway. The other thing, but the
- 4:55Speaker 5: other thing is that that is entirely different. So that
- 4:58Speaker 5: sort of random mash that we see all the time,
- 5:01Speaker 5: and all too often in the US. That is entirely
- 5:03Speaker 5: different to what happened at Bondi. This was a shooting
- 5:08Speaker 5: that followed to the letter a pattern of attacks. One
- 5:14Speaker 5: of the terrorists even had the ISIS flag. We know
- 5:17Speaker 5: that they trained in an ISIS aligned institution in the Philippines.
- 5:24Speaker 5: We know that they were we find out just how much,
- 5:27Speaker 5: but we know that they were indoctrinated with the same extremist,
- 5:32Speaker 5: radical Islamic ideology that fueled ISIS itself, that fuelled al Qaeder,
- 5:38Speaker 5: that fueled Boko Haram. This is a pattern that happened there, right,
- 5:41Speaker 5: And so if you're if you're not telling anyone why
- 5:44Speaker 5: they're doing this, then you're basically saying that this huge
- 5:48Speaker 5: pattern of death that is spreading like an ink stain
- 5:50Speaker 5: across the world, you're just telling people, no, don't worry
- 5:52Speaker 5: about it, don't look at it. That's fine, you know,
- 5:55Speaker 5: I mean, that's that is just a.
- 5:57Speaker 6: Willfully that people do know why someone goes out and
- 6:01Speaker 6: commits a mass shooting or.
- 6:04Speaker 7: A violent crime.
- 6:05Speaker 6: Also so that there's answers, because a lot of people
- 6:07Speaker 6: want to know what drove someone to go and commit
- 6:11Speaker 6: an atrocity like that, and to talk about Laura Tingle,
- 6:15Speaker 6: you just wonder when the ABC will step in and
- 6:18Speaker 6: stop the activist journalism. And what's really frustrating about those
- 6:24Speaker 6: comments is this podcast was literally out just a few
- 6:27Speaker 6: hours after that daughter of the victim of one of
- 6:32Speaker 6: the from Bondai, where she spoke to the ABC presenters
- 6:35Speaker 6: and actually said on air stop the bias coming out
- 6:39Speaker 6: of the ABC, and then a few hours later this
- 6:42Speaker 6: was then said on this podcast.
- 6:45Speaker 5: It is just emblematic of just the complete isolated bubble
- 6:49Speaker 5: that I think so many of the kind of so
- 6:51Speaker 5: called intelligence here live in.
- 6:54Speaker 1: Where I mean.
- 6:55Speaker 5: This is someone who diagnosed that Australia was a racist country,
- 7:00Speaker 5: imagining something in her head in which Peter Dutton went
- 7:03Speaker 5: to an auction and its people thought they weren't getting
- 7:07Speaker 5: their house because of Chinese people. This was an entirely
- 7:11Speaker 5: fictitious scene that she imagined her head, which she used
- 7:13Speaker 5: as the basis of deciding that Australians were all racist.
- 7:16Speaker 5: And yet you have, you know, fifteen dead Jews killed by.
- 7:23Speaker 2: How did'st conclusion exactly? The ABC is complicit alongside the
- 7:32Speaker 2: Labor government in allowing this toxic climate of anti Semitism
- 7:37Speaker 2: to fester, peddling her mass lies all too readily. But
- 7:41Speaker 2: it's interesting on the point around trying to claim that
- 7:44Speaker 2: Islamic extremism is not actually religiously motivated, because just it's
- 7:49Speaker 2: actually About three weeks ago, the Australian Human Rights Commission
- 7:53Speaker 2: and the Australian Muslim Advocacy Network both wrote submissions to
- 7:59Speaker 2: change the definition of terrorism to remove religious motivation as
- 8:05Speaker 2: a motive for terrorism, and they wanted to just shift
- 8:08Speaker 2: it to ideological because they claimed that that stigmatizes their religion, Islam.
- 8:15Speaker 1: But we have no other religions are applying to that exemption.
- 8:18Speaker 2: We have to be able to call things out and
- 8:21Speaker 2: whether it is extremism that has.
- 8:22Speaker 5: To be dealt the sake of Islam itself, for the
- 8:24Speaker 5: sake of the vast majority of Muslims, you actually have
- 8:28Speaker 5: to be able to say, look, this is the bad stuff,
- 8:32Speaker 5: and this is what you cannot be sucked in by.
- 8:34Speaker 5: And this is where people are taking your religion and
- 8:38Speaker 5: spinning it, either taking it out of context or often
- 8:41Speaker 5: just taking it too literally, which is where you get
- 8:43Speaker 5: the term fundamentalism from. And this is what you cannot
- 8:47Speaker 5: be Here is how not to be a terrorism if
- 8:49Speaker 5: you just say, I don't worry, it has nothing to
- 8:51Speaker 5: do with Islam. And again it's the same thing, you know,
- 8:54Speaker 5: if a white supremacist Christian, you know, kill per and
- 8:57Speaker 5: and again we saw the people killing the Mosca and
- 8:59Speaker 5: New Zealand, which seemed to be trying to hark back
- 9:02Speaker 5: to some golden age of white Christian Western civilization, you know,
- 9:06Speaker 5: and we know that, you know, some white supremacists use
- 9:10Speaker 5: the terminology and the imagery of the Crusades to do it. Now,
- 9:14Speaker 5: if you're not going to identify that as being problematic,
- 9:17Speaker 5: you know, if you're just not going to talk about
- 9:19Speaker 5: why people are.
- 9:20Speaker 1: Doing things, they're going to keep doing them.
- 9:23Speaker 6: Well, we've been lacking some strong leadership throughout the past
- 9:27Speaker 6: two years during this anti Semitism increase in our country.
- 9:31Speaker 6: But there was one person that spoke incredibly well today
- 9:35Speaker 6: at the Bondi Memorial and that was the former treasurer
- 9:38Speaker 6: in Josh Friedenberg. As a Jewish man, he stood there
- 9:42Speaker 6: and spoke so powerfully, so strongly, and has caught on
- 9:47Speaker 6: the Albanese government to take stronger action to protect the
- 9:50Speaker 6: Jewish community and take a listen here where he is
- 9:53Speaker 6: basically said, Albo has allowed radicalization in this country.
- 9:59Speaker 8: Our prime star, our government has allowed Australia to be
- 10:04Speaker 8: radicalized on his watch. It's time for him to accept
- 10:12Speaker 8: personal responsibility for the death of fifteen innocent people, including
- 10:17Speaker 8: a ten year old child.
- 10:20Speaker 6: Now Josh stood there and spoke for what felt like
- 10:24Speaker 6: twenty or so minutes. He had been there, as he said,
- 10:27Speaker 6: to mourn, but to also warn about what would happen
- 10:30Speaker 6: if anti Semitism wasn't tackled within this country.
- 10:34Speaker 7: And I think Joe.
- 10:36Speaker 6: We can really see though that the pressure is building
- 10:37Speaker 6: on the Albanese government. He has not Albo has not
- 10:41Speaker 6: stepped foot back in Bondi since Monday morning. He wasn't
- 10:45Speaker 6: at the funeral today, which is where Josh was speaking
- 10:48Speaker 6: after coming out of there. I just think we need
- 10:51Speaker 6: to start seeing some strong leadership coming out of this
- 10:54Speaker 6: Albanzi government. And when you see scenes like that with Josh,
- 10:58Speaker 6: and we will talk about it in a minute about
- 11:00Speaker 6: potential return of politics, but the country is crying out
- 11:04Speaker 6: for strong leadership and Albo is just nowhere to be seen.
- 11:07Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 11:08Speaker 5: Look, I think you're I think you're right. It's a
- 11:10Speaker 5: difficult thing for him. I think he knows that there's
- 11:12Speaker 5: frustration in the community there.
- 11:14Speaker 2: I think he suspects that frustration live it.
- 11:20Speaker 5: I guess, you know, would he going to the funeral
- 11:23Speaker 5: when people feel like that actually be more of a
- 11:26Speaker 5: disruption antagonized?
- 11:28Speaker 2: I think the reason he doesn't want to go is
- 11:29Speaker 2: because when Tony Burke went to the memorial site, he
- 11:32Speaker 2: was heckled. If alban Easy rocked up at one of
- 11:36Speaker 2: these funerals, he would be heckled, but he should be,
- 11:39Speaker 2: And I think that's what that'd be better for the
- 11:41Speaker 2: grievers with that. Well, yeah, because.
- 11:44Speaker 6: Here, if you still that's what strong leadership's about, is
- 11:48Speaker 6: that you're walking into something where you know people are
- 11:51Speaker 6: angry and they're hurting, and they're mad at you and
- 11:53Speaker 6: potentially your decisions that you have done. By walking in
- 11:57Speaker 6: there and showing I stand with you. Yes, I might
- 12:00Speaker 6: have made some mistakes, but I'm here to show my
- 12:03Speaker 6: support and I'm not being there makes it worse. The
- 12:05Speaker 6: reality is I feel like at this point nothing is
- 12:08Speaker 6: going to save him in this situation.
- 12:11Speaker 2: It's already a done deal. So it's just how does
- 12:14Speaker 2: he want to go down? Does he want to be
- 12:16Speaker 2: the guy that's too scared to front up to the
- 12:18Speaker 2: community that he's abandoned, or does he want to toughen
- 12:21Speaker 2: up and actually copy this.
- 12:23Speaker 5: This is what I mean when he's when I say,
- 12:24Speaker 5: he's damned if he does, he's damned if he doesn't.
- 12:26Speaker 5: I mean, if people say, you know, he's not doing enough,
- 12:28Speaker 5: but there's nothing you can do because you know your alreadiences.
- 12:31Speaker 5: And again I think the government could have been much, much,
- 12:34Speaker 5: much stronger on anti Semitism. I certainly always have been unequivocal,
- 12:37Speaker 5: because if you know your history, you know where this
- 12:40Speaker 5: can lead. And you know also that anti Semitism is
- 12:44Speaker 5: not the same as other forms of racism. It's not
- 12:46Speaker 5: the same as Islamophobia. It is very, very specific. It
- 12:50Speaker 5: has been evoked throughout history consistently for millennia, and it
- 12:55Speaker 5: has resulted in the worst mass murder, the worst of
- 13:00Speaker 5: human beings ever on planet Earth, just last century, and
- 13:04Speaker 5: so I think it does deserve special attention, and frankly,
- 13:07Speaker 5: that's why Israel. One of the reasons Israel needs to
- 13:10Speaker 5: be able to exist, because there needs to be a
- 13:12Speaker 5: safe haven for people who have been chased out, killed,
- 13:16Speaker 5: in exiled, executed in countries where they have not had
- 13:21Speaker 5: any representation or have not had any access to the
- 13:23Speaker 5: rule of law. I do think though that you know,
- 13:26Speaker 5: saying that you know Alberanzi has blood on his hands
- 13:29Speaker 5: or whatever, I think I don't support that rhetoric. I
- 13:32Speaker 5: like Josh Ryden Beer like he is a friend of mine.
- 13:35Speaker 5: You know, we talk about anti Semitism all the time.
- 13:39Speaker 1: He is.
- 13:39Speaker 5: This is something he is really really laser focused on.
- 13:42Speaker 5: It is not him playing politics as the ABC again
- 13:46Speaker 5: not reading the room rather disgracefully suggested. But to say
- 13:51Speaker 5: that this terror attack is the fault of Anthony Alberzi,
- 13:54Speaker 5: I think is too much to put on one man.
- 13:56Speaker 5: This happened on a lot of people's watches. People support
- 13:59Speaker 5: Chris min And as do I I love Chrismians. This
- 14:02Speaker 5: happened on his watch too. You know, It's happened in
- 14:05Speaker 5: the US under Donald Trump's watch, It's happened in Israel
- 14:08Speaker 5: October seven, happened in Israel under net and Yahoo.
- 14:11Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 14:11Speaker 7: I think people are just frustrated.
- 14:12Speaker 1: I think people are frustrated.
- 14:15Speaker 7: He hasn't done any It's really fair enough.
- 14:18Speaker 6: And Shari Markson did ask Josh Fridenberg and said, look,
- 14:21Speaker 6: you're standing here, I need to ask the question, are
- 14:24Speaker 6: we going to see you return to politics?
- 14:26Speaker 7: This is what he had to say.
- 14:30Speaker 8: My position hasn't changed. I've left the door open, but
- 14:34Speaker 8: I'm not making any decisions at this point in time.
- 14:37Speaker 8: I don't care what your political persuasion is when it
- 14:40Speaker 8: comes to my personal security. I don't care what your
- 14:43Speaker 8: religion is when it comes to my personal security. You
- 14:45Speaker 8: can be Calithumpian for all I care. All I want
- 14:49Speaker 8: you to be is morally upright.
- 14:54Speaker 6: One thing that does stand out when we watched him
- 14:56Speaker 6: is I could see him running again in twenty twenty eight.
- 15:00Speaker 7: I really hope that we do see him well.
- 15:02Speaker 6: Andrew Canell did say on Sky earlier today that all
- 15:05Speaker 6: of his sources said, Josh wall Be.
- 15:07Speaker 5: Makes he will run in twenty twenty eight. I have
- 15:12Speaker 5: been saying that since before Sunday happened, and now that
- 15:17Speaker 5: is happening, I think he will see it as his
- 15:19Speaker 5: even if he wasn't going to before, which he was,
- 15:23Speaker 5: I think he will see it as his duty to
- 15:26Speaker 5: sort of run again, just so it can play a
- 15:28Speaker 5: leading role in stopping this. On top of all the
- 15:31Speaker 5: other reasons why I've always thought he was going to
- 15:33Speaker 5: run again.
- 15:33Speaker 2: Well, there are less than two thousand votes in it.
- 15:35Speaker 2: In Kuyong, that was the amount of votes that Emilia
- 15:38Speaker 2: Hamer lost by. One of the barriers to him running
- 15:41Speaker 2: was Amelia Hamer potentially wanting to recontest, but she's now
- 15:44Speaker 2: been pre selected for the state seat of Malvern, so
- 15:47Speaker 2: she's out of the way. The path for Fridenburg to
- 15:49Speaker 2: make a comeback is open and frankly, I think the
- 15:52Speaker 2: Liberal Party needs someone of his caliber, with his experience
- 15:57Speaker 2: and his leadership who can actually steer the party and
- 16:01Speaker 2: I think if he can come in at the next election,
- 16:04Speaker 2: the Liberal Party will be stronger before it. But speaking
- 16:07Speaker 2: of leadership, Chris Mints has come out and taken some
- 16:10Speaker 2: pretty decisive action. He's going to recall the new South
- 16:14Speaker 2: Wales State Parliament, which is technically now on its summer break,
- 16:17Speaker 2: but they're going to be coming back to vote on
- 16:19Speaker 2: new laws around protests and gun restrictions. Have a look.
- 16:27Speaker 9: We're looking at reforms whereby when there is a terrorism
- 16:30Speaker 9: designation in the state, the Police Commissioner may not accept
- 16:34Speaker 9: applications for protests on the grounds that it will both
- 16:38Speaker 9: stretch police resources and secondly add to community disharmony.
- 16:44Speaker 2: Now I think that is a good idea Generally, when
- 16:48Speaker 2: you do have a terrorist incident that's just occurred, the
- 16:51Speaker 2: last thing you want right now, a massive pro Palestine
- 16:54Speaker 2: march is happening, because it will become a riot. People
- 16:57Speaker 2: will not tolerate that. However, you got to ask, why
- 17:02Speaker 2: are these laws that are increasingly draconian around guns, around protests,
- 17:08Speaker 2: around speech? Why are they necessary in the first place.
- 17:12Speaker 2: Surely we're a nation of good people. Can't we just
- 17:14Speaker 2: self regulate? Well, apparently not have a listen to Chrismins.
- 17:19Speaker 9: We have a wonderful community in Australia, we really do.
- 17:22Speaker 9: Multicultural Australia is something that I believe in. But the
- 17:25Speaker 9: truth of the matter is you need strict rules in
- 17:27Speaker 9: place to ensure that our society is successful.
- 17:32Speaker 2: This is not the first time Chrismins has made that claim.
- 17:36Speaker 2: We're a multicultural society and the price we have to
- 17:40Speaker 2: pay to keep this multicultural society from crumbling is greater
- 17:45Speaker 2: infringements on our freedom through more and more laws. Now,
- 17:49Speaker 2: I would say, if we have to keep adding laws
- 17:52Speaker 2: to keep our multicultural society together, maybe it hasn't been
- 17:56Speaker 2: that successful.
- 17:58Speaker 6: Well, we've always been told, haven't we that multiculturalism is
- 18:02Speaker 6: what makes us strong, but when you delve deeper into it,
- 18:05Speaker 6: it does look as though that's what's now leading to
- 18:08Speaker 6: us losing a lot of our freedoms. I do think
- 18:11Speaker 6: that when we're I think the one thing we need
- 18:13Speaker 6: to look at, and to your point, Joe Chrismans is
- 18:15Speaker 6: trying something. So he's getting up there and he's trying something,
- 18:19Speaker 6: and I do appreciate the fact that he's going to
- 18:22Speaker 6: be bringing back the Parliament next week to be able
- 18:24Speaker 6: to get things moving, which is what there's calls that
- 18:26Speaker 6: Albot should be doing on a federal level. I think
- 18:29Speaker 6: what we need to still be examining though, is yes,
- 18:32Speaker 6: gun laws need to be stricter in New South Wales.
- 18:33Speaker 6: We spoke about it on the show last night, about
- 18:36Speaker 6: the sheer volume of guns that people have that are
- 18:38Speaker 6: living within inner city seats. There's definitely an issue with
- 18:41Speaker 6: some of those marches that we've been seeing. They've been
- 18:44Speaker 6: viling with hate, they've been doing the flags with Isis
- 18:47Speaker 6: flags and her mask sympathizers, so there's an issue there too.
- 18:50Speaker 6: I think though the crux of the problem is still
- 18:53Speaker 6: we're not talking enough about how to address anti Semitism
- 18:56Speaker 6: and that there is.
- 18:58Speaker 7: The issue that we really need to be delving into.
- 19:00Speaker 6: I don't want that to get lost in amongst discussion
- 19:03Speaker 6: of gun reform and laws around different protests. I think
- 19:07Speaker 6: we need to just be focusing on immigration and who
- 19:11Speaker 6: we bring in to make sure that we're not bringing
- 19:13Speaker 6: in people that are filled with hate, or if you
- 19:14Speaker 6: are here and you are spreading hate, then.
- 19:16Speaker 7: It's time for you to leave.
- 19:18Speaker 6: And I think we need to be really honing in
- 19:20Speaker 6: on anyone that's spreading or the hate preachers anything like that.
- 19:23Speaker 6: It's time to be strong in that area and stop that.
- 19:26Speaker 6: And then gun control and those can be a little
- 19:29Speaker 6: bit further down the list of priorities of what I mean.
- 19:31Speaker 1: To be honest, I think that's what he's doing.
- 19:32Speaker 5: I mean, we've had people on the right, particularly saying
- 19:34Speaker 5: we need to ban these protests, which again normally these
- 19:38Speaker 5: people saying you can't ban free speech, but we've obviously
- 19:41Speaker 5: hit that sort of tipping point where people like Tony
- 19:43Speaker 5: Abbott are saying that we've just got to ban them.
- 19:45Speaker 5: And clearly there have been times when these protesters were
- 19:50Speaker 5: horrifically in the most ugly possible way, you know, insensitive
- 19:55Speaker 5: doesn't even begin to cover it.
- 19:57Speaker 1: But you know, grossly out ages towards.
- 20:01Speaker 5: You know, the Jewish community when they were morning on
- 20:03Speaker 5: the anniversary of October seven, they wanted to have a
- 20:06Speaker 5: protest on the anniversary Dal, I mean, what a bunch
- 20:10Speaker 5: of pigs.
- 20:10Speaker 1: And so.
- 20:12Speaker 5: This So, what I think he's done has come up
- 20:14Speaker 5: with quite an elegant way for the government to be
- 20:17Speaker 5: able to say, right, we're going to have the power
- 20:19Speaker 5: to say on special occasions like this or when things
- 20:23Speaker 5: are particularly volatile in the wake of a terrorist act, no,
- 20:26Speaker 5: you can't do that.
- 20:27Speaker 1: This time.
- 20:28Speaker 5: We put community cohesion, for which he means the safety
- 20:32Speaker 5: of Jewish Australians ahead of your right to free speech
- 20:36Speaker 5: or whatever else it is. And I agree that people
- 20:39Speaker 5: there's a lot of people on the left for whom
- 20:40Speaker 5: it's much more convenient to talk about, you know, gun
- 20:43Speaker 5: control than it is to talk about anti Semitism, because
- 20:45Speaker 5: you know, a while ago they might have been chanting
- 20:47Speaker 5: free Palestine themselves.
- 20:49Speaker 1: So that is a handy wheeze.
- 20:50Speaker 5: But also, does someone living in the suburbs of Sydney
- 20:55Speaker 5: actually need a firearms license like this guy had? Clearly not,
- 20:59Speaker 5: So I think you can sort of walk into gum
- 21:01Speaker 5: at the same time. The last thing I'll say is
- 21:04Speaker 5: that I think a lot of people are talking about
- 21:06Speaker 5: multiculturalism because they don't have the balls to talk about Islam.
- 21:10Speaker 5: And I think they are using that as a cipher
- 21:12Speaker 5: for them having a problem with Muslims being in Australia.
- 21:17Speaker 5: And again I think we have to have the guts
- 21:19Speaker 5: to have that debate. But what we are talking about here,
- 21:22Speaker 5: we're not talking about Indians, you know, we're not talking
- 21:25Speaker 5: about terrorist attacks in Harris Park being committed by Hindu nationalists,
- 21:29Speaker 5: although in back in India has happened. But so I
- 21:32Speaker 5: think that is why, and again that's why we can't
- 21:34Speaker 5: gloss over these That's why we have to very specifically
- 21:37Speaker 5: say this is the product of a specific strand of
- 21:41Speaker 5: radical Islam that is toxic, that is evil, that is murderous,
- 21:45Speaker 5: that cannot be excused, cannot be allowed to fester, it
- 21:49Speaker 5: cannot be spread in our communities.
- 21:51Speaker 1: And the most.
- 21:51Speaker 5: Important people that stopping that cancer will save are the
- 21:57Speaker 5: Muslims because it means they get to continue lives in
- 22:00Speaker 5: Australia without being contaminated by these horrific people. Either isis
- 22:05Speaker 5: sending things you know, through social media and feeding into
- 22:08Speaker 5: their brains that way, or the hate preachers in Southwest City,
- 22:10Speaker 5: And yes, why not if there's an incitement to violence,
- 22:13Speaker 5: should they not be deported?
- 22:14Speaker 2: But I guess the challenge is there are some cultures
- 22:18Speaker 2: and some specific ideologies, like radical Islam, that have a
- 22:24Speaker 2: higher propensity.
- 22:25Speaker 1: I haven't heard anyone mentioned the second one.
- 22:28Speaker 2: The second one.
- 22:30Speaker 7: Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah.
- 22:32Speaker 5: Again, don't lump all migrants into that basket, and don't
- 22:35Speaker 5: lump all Muslims in basket. Talk about that one specific
- 22:39Speaker 5: deadly radical element that we have to eradicate. Anyway, Having
- 22:43Speaker 5: said all that, let's go to counter terrorism, because one
- 22:46Speaker 5: way we're not going to eradicate it is if we
- 22:48Speaker 5: keep cutting all the anti terrorist experts who are trying
- 22:51Speaker 5: to well the clues in the name stop the terrorists.
- 22:54Speaker 5: We've just found out that ASIO has had what's been
- 22:57Speaker 5: known as a multimillion dollar quote wedding exodus, with a
- 23:02Speaker 5: whole range of senior staff made redundant, and experts say
- 23:07Speaker 5: this has stripped the organization of decades worth of post
- 23:11Speaker 5: nine to eleven counter terrorist experience, and they were ushering
- 23:16Speaker 5: out the doors just months after the news spy chief
- 23:19Speaker 5: Mike Burgess, who I think has actually been quite impressive,
- 23:22Speaker 5: But he is clearly not a man to be trifled
- 23:25Speaker 5: with because just after he arrived, a lot of these
- 23:27Speaker 5: more senior people have been showing the doors. So is
- 23:30Speaker 5: it just cost cutting? Is it generational change? And does
- 23:34Speaker 5: this mean because we know that one of these guys
- 23:36Speaker 5: was on the watch list for Asia, does this mean
- 23:40Speaker 5: that maybe we drop Bore.
- 23:41Speaker 2: I think that there are serious questions that have to
- 23:43Speaker 2: be answered around our intelligence capabilities. Are we doing enough
- 23:48Speaker 2: to track these individuals of concern? Obviously, Navid Akram was
- 23:53Speaker 2: watched by ASIO, He was interviewed years before his father's
- 23:57Speaker 2: gun license was approved. What kind of coward nation is
- 24:00Speaker 2: actually happening, if any at all, between ASIO and the
- 24:03Speaker 2: state based agencies that are providing gun licenses. Clearly there
- 24:08Speaker 2: are breakdowns in the system somewhere along the way that
- 24:12Speaker 2: are occurring, and the people that left. So ten senior
- 24:16Speaker 2: ASIO execs were sacked in a single day, six months
- 24:21Speaker 2: after Mike Burgess came into the role, and many of
- 24:24Speaker 2: those apparently had nine to eleven experience. They were involved
- 24:27Speaker 2: in the counter terrorism activities in the two thousands. You
- 24:32Speaker 2: can't help, but think when you lose that many senior
- 24:35Speaker 2: people there presumably would be some sort of impact and
- 24:39Speaker 2: if not, that's fine. But clearly ASIO has failed in
- 24:43Speaker 2: other ways given this attack occurred at all.
- 24:46Speaker 5: And also what was the most important lesson out of
- 24:49Speaker 5: nine to eleven in terms of intelligence gathering that the
- 24:52Speaker 5: addressies weren't talking to each other.
- 24:54Speaker 1: So hopefully if one of those people.
- 24:56Speaker 5: Had been around, they would have sayd hey, guys, are
- 24:58Speaker 5: we making sure we're cross referencing all our watch list
- 25:01Speaker 5: with the new South Wales Police Firearms database?
- 25:03Speaker 6: Because well, Mike Burgess flagged with the government eighteen months
- 25:07Speaker 6: ago that their resources were severely stretched, and they did
- 25:11Speaker 6: say in this article, oh, but have you asked the
- 25:13Speaker 6: government for money? And he did say, look, I'm not
- 25:15Speaker 6: going to say that out in public, but it's the
- 25:17Speaker 6: Albanezi government's responsibility to ensure that ASIO has the resources
- 25:22Speaker 6: that are needed to ensure they can meet these security challenges.
- 25:24Speaker 6: And to your point, there certainly has been an intelligence
- 25:28Speaker 6: breakdown that somewhere, because if you've been flagged on asio's
- 25:32Speaker 6: watch list, but then it's not picked up that you
- 25:34Speaker 6: travel to the Philippines, which is a known isis hotspot.
- 25:38Speaker 6: And then the fact that your father has been able
- 25:40Speaker 6: to have six registered gun licenses. It's all done that
- 25:44Speaker 6: through proper means, but that he's living in the home
- 25:47Speaker 6: with his father as well. All of those should have
- 25:49Speaker 6: been picked up somewhere along the line, and the fact
- 25:52Speaker 6: that it didn't shows that there is a gap somewhere.
- 25:53Speaker 2: And also the fact that our terror threat level had
- 25:56Speaker 2: been raised to probable. Mike Burgess had said anti Semitism
- 26:01Speaker 2: was the number one threat to loss of life in Australia.
- 26:04Speaker 2: Yet at an event of one thousand Jews on the
- 26:07Speaker 2: first night of Hanneka in a iconic Australian site, there
- 26:10Speaker 2: were three police officers. What on earth was going on?
- 26:15Speaker 2: I mean, even that is negligence, plain incompetence. When the
- 26:19Speaker 2: dust has settled, there needs to be some serious questions
- 26:22Speaker 2: asked about who is making these decisions. But let's move on.
- 26:26Speaker 2: A lifeguard was being a former lifeguard was being interviewed
- 26:31Speaker 2: by a journalist for Channel nine when he tried to
- 26:35Speaker 2: read out the list of lifeguards who heroically sacrificed their
- 26:40Speaker 2: own safety to run towards danger and help people on Sunday,
- 26:45Speaker 2: but he was cut off in a very awkward and
- 26:49Speaker 2: embarrassing moment to have a look.
- 26:52Speaker 5: There's more good people in the world than there are
- 26:54Speaker 5: bad people, and you can always take faith in that
- 26:58Speaker 5: and believe in that.
- 27:00Speaker 1: Leave it there just before we go.
- 27:02Speaker 6: I'd love to list the lifeguards who.
- 27:05Speaker 7: We don't have time for that.
- 27:06Speaker 1: I'm really sorry, but no, thank.
- 27:08Speaker 7: You so much for coming on, Ali, and I think
- 27:10Speaker 7: we'll just leave it there. There is hope and Bondai
- 27:13Speaker 7: will overcome.
- 27:15Speaker 2: I have second hand embarrassment. I have second embarrassment that
- 27:19Speaker 2: is just not.
- 27:21Speaker 1: There.
- 27:25Speaker 6: And she might have thought he was about to bring
- 27:26Speaker 6: up a list of one hundred names or something.
- 27:29Speaker 7: But it's just awful.
- 27:30Speaker 6: She would watch that back though and feel feel terrible.
- 27:33Speaker 2: And one of the lifeguards.
- 27:37Speaker 1: Honoring a hero, they want to read a list.
- 27:38Speaker 6: Just let one of them on that list was the
- 27:41Speaker 6: lifeguard that ran with the difiblerator from Tamarama to Bondi
- 27:45Speaker 6: and his thongs and and so it was those sort
- 27:47Speaker 6: of people that they wanted to recognize.
- 27:49Speaker 5: And there there was an incredible example of did you
- 27:52Speaker 5: hear about this? There was a Chinese man who was
- 27:55Speaker 5: out in the surf at Bondai saw the gun or
- 27:59Speaker 5: heard the unshot, saw what was happening, froze as you would,
- 28:03Speaker 5: and suddenly couldn't swim anymore because he was frozen with
- 28:06Speaker 5: here and a lifeguard had to swim out and rescue
- 28:10Speaker 5: him and bring him back into the beach, all in
- 28:13Speaker 5: the middle of a live terror attack.
- 28:16Speaker 6: I mean, that's that's but it just shows that's the
- 28:19Speaker 6: heroism that we've been speaking about that comes from the darkness.
- 28:24Speaker 6: But sadly, another Jewish business has been impacted by what
- 28:28Speaker 6: happened on Sunday, but more.
- 28:30Speaker 7: So over these past two years.
- 28:32Speaker 6: This is a well known celebrity chef, his face on
- 28:36Speaker 6: Better Homes and Gardens.
- 28:39Speaker 7: Well, there you go, there's your claim to frame.
- 28:40Speaker 6: Joe ed hal Maggie has a Jewish bakery in Surrey
- 28:44Speaker 6: Hills that he has now closed the doors and he
- 28:47Speaker 6: has put a notice on the front door, and he
- 28:50Speaker 6: basically just said this is culminated to what happened on Sunday,
- 28:54Speaker 6: that we cannot have a business here anymore.
- 28:57Speaker 7: His shop in Reading. He said that five to six.
- 29:00Speaker 6: Days a week it's either got graffiti on it, vandalism.
- 29:02Speaker 6: There's been human feasts thrown at it, hate letters, busted windows.
- 29:07Speaker 6: Every single day they come to something, but ed he
- 29:11Speaker 6: did speak with Shari about why he ultimately decided to
- 29:15Speaker 6: close his doors.
- 29:17Speaker 5: I can't guarantee my family, my staff, my customers, anyone
- 29:22Speaker 5: is safe anymore.
- 29:25Speaker 7: Isn't this just so sad?
- 29:26Speaker 2: Though?
- 29:27Speaker 6: You know, it's just one thing after another for the
- 29:29Speaker 6: Jewish community. There was the docks In incident, They're all
- 29:32Speaker 6: the calls to boycott Jewish businesses, and this is the
- 29:36Speaker 6: reality happening where they are closing their doors.
- 29:39Speaker 7: It's just got to stop.
- 29:41Speaker 5: Even after you've just had the worst mass killing of
- 29:45Speaker 5: Jews outside of Israel since the Holocaust, And isn't that
- 29:50Speaker 5: enough for you? Isn't that like that's not enough. You've
- 29:53Speaker 5: still got to keep up with the anti Semitism, still
- 29:55Speaker 5: got to keep up with the graffiti, the abuse that
- 29:58Speaker 5: it's just.
- 29:59Speaker 6: He said that currently a family drove past him and
- 30:02Speaker 6: the dad yelled out abuse to him after what had
- 30:05Speaker 6: happened on Sunday.
- 30:07Speaker 2: It's just tragic. My grandmother was a German Jew who
- 30:10Speaker 2: grew up in Germany in the nineteen thirties, and her
- 30:14Speaker 2: family watched My great grandfather was Jewish but practiced medicine
- 30:18Speaker 2: with a gentile completely integrated into secular Frankfurt life. They
- 30:24Speaker 2: never thought ever in a million years that their family
- 30:29Speaker 2: would be sent to gas chambers and would be murdered.
- 30:32Speaker 2: But over the nineteen thirties, slowly but surely, there was
- 30:36Speaker 2: this rise in hatred these businesses. You started to get boycotted.
- 30:40Speaker 2: It was the normalization of casual anti Semitism all of
- 30:44Speaker 2: a sudden, it reached a climax in the Holocaust. And
- 30:48Speaker 2: when I look at that and I see these businesses,
- 30:51Speaker 2: we're becoming a ghetto wised country where Jewish businesses can
- 30:55Speaker 2: only survive in Jewish areas because it is that unsafe
- 30:59Speaker 2: for them. This is reminiscent of nineteen thirty's Europe. Even
- 31:04Speaker 2: after a massacre, you would think this is the time
- 31:08Speaker 2: to show decency, to make a special trip to a
- 31:10Speaker 2: Jewish bakery just to show some support. But that is
- 31:14Speaker 2: not what's happening, and it is it's very painful to watch.
- 31:18Speaker 6: Can I just say, I actually did Google to see
- 31:20Speaker 6: what other Jewish businesses were around there and locks in
- 31:23Speaker 6: a box and we're going to do the call out
- 31:26Speaker 6: because they're another bakery that has been absolutely slammed with
- 31:29Speaker 6: online hate, online poor reviews, and they have put out
- 31:33Speaker 6: a call and just said, we really need to have
- 31:36Speaker 6: people come in here and have a pleasant experience and
- 31:38Speaker 6: to actually write nice stuff about us. And so I thought,
- 31:42Speaker 6: you know what, I'm going to go over there and
- 31:44Speaker 6: support them, because that's what we all need to be doing,
- 31:46Speaker 6: is supporting and getting behind.
- 31:47Speaker 7: These Jewish businesses.
- 31:48Speaker 2: Exactly right well over in the US. Another example of
- 31:52Speaker 2: just how normalized anti Semitism has become. A young woman
- 31:57Speaker 2: was ordering pajamas for her boyfriend for hannaka the star
- 32:00Speaker 2: of David on them, the Menora. She was ordering these
- 32:03Speaker 2: from the department store Bloomingdale's. When they arrived, they had
- 32:07Speaker 2: a note in the package saying free Palestine. How on
- 32:12Speaker 2: earth you get from Jewish pajamas to free Palestine? Well,
- 32:17Speaker 2: I know how you do. It's called being anti Semitic.
- 32:20Speaker 2: But what I find interesting about this is for two
- 32:23Speaker 2: years we've been told by the Free Palestine movement, oh no,
- 32:27Speaker 2: it's not the Jews that we hate, it's just the Zionists.
- 32:31Speaker 2: They're totally different things. I can support Palestine, but that
- 32:35Speaker 2: doesn't mean I hate Jews. Well, when you're putting free
- 32:37Speaker 2: Palestine in Jewish pajamas just because you know that they're
- 32:41Speaker 2: going to go to a Jewish home. It's not anti Zionism.
- 32:45Speaker 2: It is pure anti Semitism.
- 32:47Speaker 1: Yeah, it absolutely is.
- 32:48Speaker 5: And the comparison to nineteen thirties Nazi Germany is a
- 32:52Speaker 5: really good one, because how did people, for example, who
- 32:55Speaker 5: used to be friends, colleagues, neighbors, who simply you know,
- 33:00Speaker 5: suddenly would turn on Jewish people, Jews who had fought
- 33:04Speaker 5: with the German army under the Kaiser.
- 33:07Speaker 2: My great grandfather was an honored veteran World War One,
- 33:11Speaker 2: fought for Germany.
- 33:12Speaker 5: And then suddenly you're accused of, you know, being you know,
- 33:15Speaker 5: secretly undermining the country, and the and again the same
- 33:19Speaker 5: it happens the same way. You create a narrative whereby
- 33:22Speaker 5: there's some kind of secret international conspiracy in which Jews
- 33:27Speaker 5: are destroying the world, and that maps perfectly onto the
- 33:33Speaker 5: crazed claims about Israel and its behavior.
- 33:37Speaker 1: Taken out of context.
- 33:39Speaker 5: And again, I'm no friend of Benjamin Yah, don't support
- 33:41Speaker 5: a huge amount of what he's done, but the idea
- 33:44Speaker 5: that it is all one side, and it is all
- 33:46Speaker 5: this act of apartheid and genocide on one on one side,
- 33:51Speaker 5: and you know, this brave freedom fighting Hamas on the
- 33:55Speaker 5: other is just it firstly is historically just simple bullshit,
- 34:01Speaker 5: but also it is a way of crafting a narrative
- 34:04Speaker 5: that makes you able to abuse, violate, murder Jewish people
- 34:11Speaker 5: because if they're controlling the world, if they're if they're
- 34:15Speaker 5: if they're committing a genocide you know somewhere in the
- 34:17Speaker 5: world that everyone's you know, then then it justifies everything
- 34:21Speaker 5: you do.
- 34:21Speaker 1: Nothing is too bad for that.
- 34:23Speaker 2: Exactly right. And look, just quickly before we go to
- 34:25Speaker 2: a break, the expenses scandal in golfing labor ministers is
- 34:29Speaker 2: still ongoing talking about Bondai rightfully so, and that has
- 34:34Speaker 2: taken centers stage in the media as it one hundred
- 34:38Speaker 2: percent should this week, but it is worth mentioning. Jamie
- 34:42Speaker 2: Mark Butler is the latest Labor minister to be caught
- 34:45Speaker 2: up in this. He spent five and a half thousand
- 34:48Speaker 2: dollars flying himself and family members to the Australian Open
- 34:52Speaker 2: and the Cricket Test match, even though he's the Minister
- 34:55Speaker 2: for Disability and Age Care.
- 34:58Speaker 6: I know the whole thing is just getting out of control.
- 35:02Speaker 6: But the sad thing, like the reality is they're all
- 35:04Speaker 6: still within the guidelines, so we need to that's the
- 35:07Speaker 6: ultimate problem here is we need to have the guidelines addressed.
- 35:09Speaker 6: We know that the Attorney General Michelle Roland has agreed
- 35:12Speaker 6: to repay some of that twenty one thousand dollars trip
- 35:15Speaker 6: that she took her family over to Perth. But ultimately
- 35:18Speaker 6: it's just getting these guidelines addressed so that the MP's
- 35:22Speaker 6: are stuck going to pickle like this where they keep
- 35:24Speaker 6: exploiting it, but really they're still within the guidelines, which
- 35:27Speaker 6: doesn't mean it's right, but they haven't technical.
- 35:29Speaker 5: I've always provided but if you time the pology to say,
- 35:31Speaker 5: guidelines of Jeffrey Rush's character and parts of the caravan I.
- 35:35Speaker 1: Have come to parley, there's one of the rules of
- 35:37Speaker 1: parley goes well, they're more like guidelines.
- 35:40Speaker 2: They're guidelines and they're very flexible as well. And if
- 35:45Speaker 2: that's their attitude to spending our tax paid dollars, it's
- 35:47Speaker 2: no wonder things like the NDIS are running out of control.
- 35:51Speaker 2: We're going to talk about NDIS and age care and
- 35:54Speaker 2: all the things that the government can't stop spending money
- 35:56Speaker 2: on after the break because in the papers they will
- 35:59Speaker 2: just us the grim state of our nation's finances. Stay tuned,
- 36:10Speaker 2: welcome back to the show. Let's get into tomorrow's papers.
- 36:14Speaker 2: So you hear it here first, Joe kicking off for
- 36:16Speaker 2: the Daily.
- 36:16Speaker 5: Telegractly did and there is no paper greater than the
- 36:19Speaker 5: Great Daily Telegraph, and they have splashed.
- 36:21Speaker 1: Well.
- 36:21Speaker 5: First we had major time to ground control. Now we've
- 36:25Speaker 5: got earth to Albo, absent PM, missus, terror funerals and
- 36:30Speaker 5: dodgers the fury. Come on, guys, He's doing his best anyway.
- 36:34Speaker 5: Anthony Albaneze has been worn. He risks quote the loss
- 36:37Speaker 5: of innocent life in another terrorist attack unless he takes
- 36:40Speaker 5: quote urgent, unprecedent and strong action on rising anti Semitism,
- 36:44Speaker 5: including banning hate preachers and prosecuting offenders who incite violence.
- 36:49Speaker 5: Former Treasurer Josh Friedenberg, as we've heard earlier in the show,
- 36:53Speaker 5: and the parents have slain ten year old Matilda led
- 36:56Speaker 5: verbal attacks against mister Albanezi yesterday. The Prime Minister not
- 37:00Speaker 5: present at evidence at either of the two funerals for
- 37:03Speaker 5: fallen Rabbis. He did, however, appear on Mamma Odia on
- 37:07Speaker 5: Mama MEA's The Quickly podcast, The Quickie Podcast in Sydney
- 37:11Speaker 5: FM radio station Gold one oh one point seven. I
- 37:15Speaker 5: did not know that anyway. That's why I read the newspapers.
- 37:18Speaker 6: So he was doing that today instead of going to
- 37:20Speaker 6: the funeral, according.
- 37:22Speaker 1: To the Daily Telegraph, which is never wrong.
- 37:23Speaker 5: So I think I think perhaps there will be a
- 37:27Speaker 5: bit of a recalibration of that the PM.
- 37:30Speaker 7: I'm just glad to see we can see where his
- 37:32Speaker 7: priorities lie.
- 37:34Speaker 2: Well, you remember during the bushfires, right when Albanesi was Albanesi,
- 37:39Speaker 2: Scott Morrison feels like a lifetime ago, was in Hawaii
- 37:42Speaker 2: on holidays and the amount of flack he got for that.
- 37:47Speaker 2: I hope there is an equal level of outrage, if
- 37:51Speaker 2: not more, because people have died and Albanesi has not
- 37:56Speaker 2: gone to their funerals.
- 37:57Speaker 1: Do you know what?
- 37:58Speaker 5: I was actually on the ABC and when news broke
- 38:02Speaker 5: of Scott Morrison's wife, I said, I don't think it's
- 38:04Speaker 5: such a big deal. Pms need to take time off,
- 38:07Speaker 5: we need they everyone deserve to have a holiday. He's
- 38:09Speaker 5: not going to be able to fight the fighter that
- 38:11Speaker 5: and the you could just sort of see all the
- 38:14Speaker 5: other guests implode. You could see the switchboard sort of
- 38:18Speaker 5: light up. I thought smoke was going to come out
- 38:20Speaker 5: of it, and people, how can you say.
- 38:22Speaker 1: That and I always and I always.
- 38:25Speaker 5: Point to that moment because I knew that sooner or
- 38:27Speaker 5: later a labor prime minister was going to do it,
- 38:30Speaker 5: a left promeinister was going to do it. And the
- 38:32Speaker 5: minute you sort of think, oh yeah, i'll get a
- 38:34Speaker 5: few kicks in while they're on the ground on this one,
- 38:37Speaker 5: you're going to get on that one.
- 38:38Speaker 6: So I am A lot of commentary is saying that
- 38:41Speaker 6: this is elbows. I don't hold the host moment.
- 38:44Speaker 2: I think it's actually worse though, because he's not away,
- 38:46Speaker 2: he's not on some pre booked holiday. He's just accusing
- 38:50Speaker 2: not to go. He's just staying away from the area.
- 38:53Speaker 2: But in the Australian tomorrow, the headline is gun reform
- 38:57Speaker 2: will not counter gihad ideology, says Israel As a year
- 39:03Speaker 2: Israeli minister who's in Australia for the aftermath of the event,
- 39:08Speaker 2: the Israeli Minister for Diaspora Affairs, Amachai Chickley, has said
- 39:12Speaker 2: that gun reform is not the key issue and will
- 39:15Speaker 2: not actually combat the radical ideology that drove this attack.
- 39:20Speaker 2: And that's the thing, as you guys talked about last night,
- 39:23Speaker 2: as we've talked about gun reform of coause it has
- 39:26Speaker 2: to happen the idea that you can have hundreds of
- 39:29Speaker 2: guns and that this is something that should be protected.
- 39:32Speaker 2: I mean, come on, you can find another hobby. You
- 39:34Speaker 2: don't need this many guns in Sydney. But it's true,
- 39:37Speaker 2: and I think it's been used as a distraction by
- 39:41Speaker 2: some elements of the left wing media to not talk
- 39:45Speaker 2: about the real issue here, which is why did he
- 39:49Speaker 2: use the gun in the first place. And by the way,
- 39:52Speaker 2: if the terrorists hadn't used the gun a gun, it
- 39:55Speaker 2: would have been a car, it would have been a knife,
- 39:57Speaker 2: it would have been some other means. Unless you deal
- 39:59Speaker 2: with the underlying ideology, it's not going to change anything.
- 40:03Speaker 7: Yeah, you can't legislate hate away. We said this last night.
- 40:06Speaker 6: And I think that looking at gun reform is just
- 40:09Speaker 6: masking a bigger problem here and diluting.
- 40:13Speaker 7: The bigger issue.
- 40:14Speaker 6: And I think we need to be focusing on the
- 40:15Speaker 6: anti semitism issue because it's the mental state of who
- 40:18Speaker 6: is going to pull that trigger, and that's something that
- 40:21Speaker 6: you can't just put reforms in.
- 40:23Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. Well, Also in the Australian Tomorrow, we've talked
- 40:27Speaker 2: about the economy Angie's It's bad. The headline is Charmer
- 40:31Speaker 2: fails to bank all of his tax wind falls. Jim
- 40:35Speaker 2: Chalmer's expectation of a balanced budget is being pushed out
- 40:39Speaker 2: beyond the next decade as quote, unavoidable spending pressures from childcare,
- 40:46Speaker 2: the NDIS and hospital continue to hurt the budget. And
- 40:52Speaker 2: then you've also got things like lower immigration than expected
- 40:55Speaker 2: and reduced tobacco excise taxes that are killing the budget
- 41:00Speaker 2: as well. So not great news for labor that somehow
- 41:03Speaker 2: managed to gaslight Australia into thinking they were the better
- 41:06Speaker 2: economic managers at the last election.
- 41:09Speaker 5: Surely that's one thing that Sky could back their government.
- 41:13Speaker 2: I am happy with that, but I do can side
- 41:15Speaker 2: that for the But this is why governments like high immigration,
- 41:18Speaker 2: because it's good for their bottom line producer.
- 41:21Speaker 5: Really well, it's a result of why we have the
- 41:24Speaker 5: immigration in the first place, because we need workers.
- 41:27Speaker 1: Although the best worker.
- 41:28Speaker 5: Is one that you grow from birth, one that you
- 41:30Speaker 5: grow from the belly, because then you get all their
- 41:33Speaker 5: taxes from the minute they start working.
- 41:36Speaker 2: Exactly right. Well, also in the Australian Tomorrow, Champagne toast
- 41:41Speaker 2: to deal.
- 41:42Speaker 7: This is a bit of a funny article.
- 41:43Speaker 2: A and zed tops A and Z's top lawyer held
- 41:46Speaker 2: a lavage cocktail soiree at his Melbourne home on the
- 41:52Speaker 2: bank's dime to celebrate the signing.
- 41:55Speaker 5: Of a rap believe the bank's using American currency, that
- 41:57Speaker 5: would be the first thing they look.
- 41:59Speaker 2: Into on the signing. To commemorate the signing of a
- 42:02Speaker 2: record two hundred and forty million dollars settlement with the
- 42:06Speaker 2: corporate Coop, an agreement currently being examined by a judge. Jamie,
- 42:12Speaker 2: I get the concern why are you using corporate money
- 42:16Speaker 2: to celebrate this, but also it is it's a professional
- 42:21Speaker 2: accomplishment for them.
- 42:22Speaker 6: And they do say in the article they had to
- 42:23Speaker 6: work very hard to be able to secure these deals
- 42:27Speaker 6: and so they are being rewarded for.
- 42:28Speaker 7: Their hard work.
- 42:29Speaker 5: I should have given out a few cardio watches at
- 42:31Speaker 5: the time as well. You know what could possibly go wrong?
- 42:34Speaker 6: All right, let's head to Tasmania for the mercury and
- 42:37Speaker 6: this one is Mum Claimed benefits for non existent baby
- 42:42Speaker 6: and baby makes fifty six K. A Tasmanian woman who
- 42:46Speaker 6: defrauded Centrelink for almost a decade by receiving welfare payments
- 42:50Speaker 6: for a daughter who never existed has denied, subsequently inventing
- 42:54Speaker 6: a story about the baby's stillbirth and backyard bury burial
- 42:59Speaker 6: as a way to just fire her original deception. Anthea
- 43:02Speaker 6: Murray appeared in at the Supreme Court in Hobart on
- 43:05Speaker 6: Wednesday for a disputed facts hearing after previously pleading guilty
- 43:09Speaker 6: to two comwealth charges relating to obtaining a financial advantage
- 43:13Speaker 6: by deception and making a false statement on a Medicare application.
- 43:17Speaker 6: This is between two thousand and nine and twenty seventeen.
- 43:20Speaker 6: She managed to pocket fifty six thousand dollars off the
- 43:23Speaker 6: back of making up that she had a baby. I
- 43:27Speaker 6: don't understand how you can actually do that and get away.
- 43:30Speaker 7: With it for so long.
- 43:31Speaker 5: Well, I think she's miss mad Well because I mean,
- 43:33Speaker 5: when you get a birth certificate for your baby, you know,
- 43:35Speaker 5: no one comes around to your house with a clipboys
- 43:37Speaker 5: and right, can I see the baby?
- 43:39Speaker 1: You know?
- 43:39Speaker 6: So she registered, she applied for it, but I think
- 43:42Speaker 6: she invented the still birth no afterwards to explain it.
- 43:45Speaker 5: So first she registers and this is the thing, what's
- 43:48Speaker 5: the only thing worse than faking a baby, faking a
- 43:52Speaker 5: dead baby? So she faked the show. She faked the
- 43:56Speaker 5: baby by registering a false birth certificate, and then when
- 43:59Speaker 5: she got busted, she said, oh no, the baby was real,
- 44:02Speaker 5: but it was still born. And then I bet so
- 44:05Speaker 5: she invented the whole death of a baby to cover
- 44:10Speaker 5: her tracks for inventing the birth of a.
- 44:13Speaker 2: Baby, and she buried it in the backyard. It's not
- 44:16Speaker 2: a dog woman.
- 44:18Speaker 1: This is just such a good news is that.
- 44:20Speaker 5: I don't think you did bury it at all, because
- 44:22Speaker 5: I exist, But if she had, it would have been
- 44:25Speaker 5: very disrespectful.
- 44:25Speaker 2: And what's going on in the Herald tomorrow, the Newcastle Herald.
- 44:30Speaker 5: The only good kind this is? This is actually a
- 44:34Speaker 5: great headline.
- 44:34Speaker 1: Oh shucks, Oyster stocks down now.
- 44:38Speaker 5: This could be a bit of a blow for the
- 44:40Speaker 5: Romeo in your life. But Christmas is coming up and
- 44:44Speaker 5: we seem to have a shellfish shortage.
- 44:48Speaker 1: I'll just read the words.
- 44:49Speaker 5: Shall I, instead of just free sighing for Stephens. Oysters
- 44:53Speaker 5: will be in short supply this Christmas as growers recover
- 44:57Speaker 5: from a series of catastrophes in recent years. Come on,
- 45:00Speaker 5: I've had a series of catasrophes in recent years and
- 45:02Speaker 5: I haven't stopped producing an outbreak of QX disease in
- 45:07Speaker 5: twenty twenty one sent at least four Sydney rock oyster
- 45:10Speaker 5: growers to the wall. Those who remain have had to
- 45:13Speaker 5: battle floods, fire and a sewage spill. Oh that kind
- 45:16Speaker 5: of puts you off, doesn't it in the port as
- 45:19Speaker 5: they seek to re establish their businesses. The bottom line
- 45:23Speaker 5: is that stocks are down.
- 45:26Speaker 2: There we go. You might's sad for Christmas.
- 45:28Speaker 6: I love oysters, so this will be this a dier
- 45:31Speaker 6: for Christmas Day.
- 45:32Speaker 5: So sad for the husbands of Australia who now know
- 45:35Speaker 5: that they'll be getting an early night.
- 45:38Speaker 2: Okay, thanks Jo. Well on some better news after the break,
- 45:43Speaker 2: we're going to be talking about one of the great
- 45:45Speaker 2: characters from The Simpsons, Maggie. Well, she's finally getting some
- 45:50Speaker 2: lines in the show in a new remake. Stay chunned,
- 45:57Speaker 2: Welcome back to the program, Jamie. What's happening with the Simpsons?
- 46:01Speaker 6: Well, Simpsons fans, this is a great one. Lindsay Lohan
- 46:06Speaker 6: has posted a bit of a teaser on her Instagram
- 46:09Speaker 6: as she is going to be the voice of Maggie
- 46:12Speaker 6: for a special Simpsons episode this weekend. We rarely ever
- 46:15Speaker 6: hear from Maggie, but let's take a look at the teaser.
- 46:19Speaker 7: I'm driving to school today.
- 46:20Speaker 8: You're not going a lad enough to kill people if
- 46:22Speaker 8: you don't let me practice.
- 46:25Speaker 7: Uggy Maggie, wherest your voice?
- 46:27Speaker 9: You're still getting over that Wirenginas, Please.
- 46:31Speaker 2: Don't let bar drive.
- 46:32Speaker 1: It's too scary. He drives so wiggly, and everybody hunks
- 46:35Speaker 1: at us and yells bad words and shows us fingers.
- 46:39Speaker 7: And she says a lot.
- 46:41Speaker 5: That is such a sacred couch. So she has never
- 46:43Speaker 5: ever spoken in the entire series.
- 46:45Speaker 6: I think she said a few words with Elizabeth Taylor
- 46:48Speaker 6: was the voice.
- 46:49Speaker 1: I think I think she wants that nice night too.
- 46:51Speaker 5: Yeah, there was, because there was another because that's like
- 46:54Speaker 5: a future flash forward. There was another flash forward where
- 46:57Speaker 5: Maggie was a really sullen teenager and every time just
- 47:02Speaker 5: just moved around, refused to talk, and then every time
- 47:04Speaker 5: she was about to say something, someone would interrupt her.
- 47:06Speaker 1: So you're too young to.
- 47:08Speaker 2: Know what And this is a generational divide. I didn't
- 47:10Speaker 2: grow up watching Simpsons, but I should get into it.
- 47:13Speaker 1: It looks it's like YouTube.
- 47:15Speaker 5: We can, right, Okay, now let's get on to some
- 47:18Speaker 5: real high art here. Now, this is my actual favorite
- 47:23Speaker 5: Christmas song. It is fairy Tale of New York by
- 47:26Speaker 5: the Pogues, And did you know that every single year
- 47:31Speaker 5: it makes eight hundred thousand dollars even though it never
- 47:36Speaker 5: actually reached number one when it was first released in
- 47:40Speaker 5: the nineteen eighties. Let's have a little listen to the
- 47:43Speaker 5: late great Shane McGowan.
- 47:54Speaker 1: Christmas. So, yeah, a lot of those lyrics are not
- 47:59Speaker 1: safe for work. It was actually written.
- 48:01Speaker 5: This is actually got despite meant to be being really
- 48:04Speaker 5: edgy and crazy, and it's got all these swear words
- 48:06Speaker 5: it wouldn't or geography terms you wouldn't be allowed to
- 48:09Speaker 5: say now, although somehow it still gets played on UK
- 48:12Speaker 5: radio like clockwork every single year. But it was actually
- 48:16Speaker 5: Shane McGown and a couple of other people I think
- 48:18Speaker 5: was Elvis Costello one of them, or all of these
- 48:20Speaker 5: people sat down to actually write this kind of really
- 48:23Speaker 5: edgy Christmas song and they did it and only ever
- 48:26Speaker 5: made it to number two.
- 48:27Speaker 2: Yet it's still around today. I think that's a true test.
- 48:31Speaker 2: Wasn't just a fan. It's an eternal favorite. Now, well,
- 48:34Speaker 2: let's go over to Brazil, where a replica of the
- 48:38Speaker 2: Statue of Liberty has collapsed in a severe storm. Now,
- 48:45Speaker 2: this is a forty meter replica and not very glorious.
- 48:52Speaker 2: There she is, She just sort of falls over.
- 48:54Speaker 1: We shouldn't have made it out of paper mache.
- 48:57Speaker 2: Retrospect pretty sad. It does look like America though the
- 49:00Speaker 2: mac is in the background.
- 49:03Speaker 7: It does. That's very dramatic.
- 49:05Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, why go to America when you can just
- 49:09Speaker 2: go to Gueber, Brazil. That's going to be on my
- 49:13Speaker 2: bucket list. Next. Well, thank you so much for joining
- 49:16Speaker 2: us this evening up. Next is The Rita Paney Show.
