- 0:10Speaker 1: Needs the reform it.
- 0:14Speaker 2: Tonight by Anthony Albanesi's lies are a threat to our
- 0:17Speaker 2: democracy and the film the government funded that suggests well
- 0:21Speaker 2: the promise might actually get away with this lie by
- 0:23Speaker 2: appealing to spoiled kids. Also tonight, more media claims that
- 0:28Speaker 2: Israel starving Palestinians in Gaza, So how did so many
- 0:31Speaker 2: have the energy there to just run in a marathon?
- 0:35Speaker 2: Plenty more coming up, including Matt Canavan. But first, actually,
- 0:41Speaker 2: before I get to the budget and the government's outrageous lies,
- 0:45Speaker 2: some explosive news. The Daily Mail is reporting a rumor
- 0:49Speaker 2: that War hero ben Robert Smith may run for One
- 0:52Speaker 2: Nation at the next election in the West Australian seat
- 0:55Speaker 2: of Canning against Liberal front bencher Andrew Hasty, and this
- 1:00Speaker 2: could get very ugly, not least for Hasty tipped as
- 1:04Speaker 2: a future Liberal leader. Now. I have checked with One
- 1:08Speaker 2: Nation leader Paul In Hanson's chief of staff James Ashby,
- 1:10Speaker 2: who refused to either confirm or deny this rumor, but
- 1:15Speaker 2: it was clear that it is being considered, even if
- 1:18Speaker 2: it's not clear if Robert Smith will actually stand. We'll see.
- 1:23Speaker 2: And the reason this could get very ugly is that
- 1:25Speaker 2: Robert Smith Winter of the Victoria Cross has been charged
- 1:28Speaker 2: with war crimes in Afghanistan, with shooting an unarmed and
- 1:32Speaker 2: bound prisoner in the back and allegedly ordering other soldiers
- 1:36Speaker 2: under his command to execute four more unarmed and restrained prisoners,
- 1:41Speaker 2: and not in the heat of battle, as many still claim,
- 1:44Speaker 2: but afterwards allegedly. Now Robin Smith says it's innocent. But
- 1:49Speaker 2: when he sued the journalists the first there these allegations
- 1:52Speaker 2: Andrew Hasty, he was himself a captain in the essays
- 1:57Speaker 2: who served in Afghanistan evidence against Robert Smith, and Robert
- 2:03Speaker 2: Smith lost. Now, of course, that was under a lower
- 2:06Speaker 2: standard of proof than he now faces with these charges.
- 2:12Speaker 2: It was the balance of probability. Now he must be
- 2:14Speaker 2: proved guilty on a much higher standard, beyond reasonable doubt.
- 2:18Speaker 2: Now I've said charges this series with soldiers once under
- 2:24Speaker 2: Robert Smith's command said to be testifying against him. Look
- 2:29Speaker 2: charges though that they've got to be properly tested, because
- 2:31Speaker 2: we can't be a country that sweeps things like this
- 2:34Speaker 2: under the car but we must have a higher standard.
- 2:40Speaker 2: Now that said, a lot of Australians do seem furious
- 2:43Speaker 2: that Robert Smith should be even questioned and One Nation
- 2:47Speaker 2: in this selection campaign in Farah, the federal seat one
- 2:49Speaker 2: last weekend campaign with signs backing Robert Smith. What's more,
- 2:55Speaker 2: the ESAs is based in the Western Australian, the state's
- 2:57Speaker 2: main newspaper, and Channel seven out are owned by media
- 3:01Speaker 2: companies because shareholder is billionaire Kerry Stokes, who's been a
- 3:04Speaker 2: fierce defender of ben Robert Smith. And it's fair to
- 3:07Speaker 2: say the Stokes outlets do hasty no favors. Now to repeat,
- 3:13Speaker 2: I have no idea if Robert Smith will actually run,
- 3:17Speaker 2: but One Nation is sure keen and if it does happen,
- 3:22Speaker 2: the Liberals big new leadership hope will get a monstering
- 3:25Speaker 2: that will make it very hard for Andrew Hasey to
- 3:28Speaker 2: take up from Angus Taylor as the leader anytime soon.
- 3:33Speaker 2: And if he loses his seat to One Nation, the
- 3:35Speaker 2: crisis in the Liberal Party will become a catastrophe. Now
- 3:45Speaker 2: people say all politicians lie, well, first that's not actually true.
- 3:51Speaker 2: And second what happened in last night's budget was worse,
- 3:55Speaker 2: I mean much worse than just another live from a politic.
- 4:01Speaker 2: What this Albanizer government did by slashing the capitol gains
- 4:05Speaker 2: tax discount and negative gearing after repeatedly promising not to
- 4:09Speaker 2: at the last election just a year ago. What it
- 4:13Speaker 2: actually did was to steal your power as a voter.
- 4:19Speaker 2: It was a crime against democracy. And you know the
- 4:23Speaker 2: lie I'm talking about. It was this one before the
- 4:25Speaker 2: last election, a lie that the Prime minister repeated again
- 4:29Speaker 2: and again.
- 4:31Speaker 3: Can you rule out any changes to negative gearing and
- 4:34Speaker 3: capital gains tests?
- 4:35Speaker 4: How hard is it for the fiftieth time.
- 4:40Speaker 2: Yet, as I said last night, in the budget, Albanizi
- 4:43Speaker 2: and treasure Jim Chumas did exactly the opposite. Alban easy
- 4:47Speaker 2: had lied. Needed gearing is slashed for future home purchases.
- 4:52Speaker 2: The capitol gains tax discount on houses and chairs also slashed.
- 4:57Speaker 2: And with that lie, Alban Easiest turned the government from
- 5:00Speaker 2: our servant into our master. They be clear about that.
- 5:06Speaker 2: He has stolen your power to choose your country's destiny,
- 5:11Speaker 2: the voter's power to decide our future. That's because in
- 5:16Speaker 2: a healthy democracy, politicians wanting our vote tell us what
- 5:20Speaker 2: they mean to do for us, and they let us
- 5:23Speaker 2: decide in an election which things we want and which
- 5:27Speaker 2: we don't. That puts voters in charge. But when voters
- 5:34Speaker 2: get a politician like alban EASi promising one thing, and
- 5:39Speaker 2: a bear year later doing the exact opposite. They have
- 5:44Speaker 2: got a politician that puts themselves in charge, these politicians.
- 5:50Speaker 2: Albanisi has just turned voters from his boss into their chumps.
- 5:56Speaker 2: Now there might be a good reason for his tax changes,
- 6:01Speaker 2: or maybe there's not. You get critics, for instance, saying, well,
- 6:05Speaker 2: this is just a grab for cash by desperate government
- 6:08Speaker 2: running out hat our money. It's also denying even young
- 6:12Speaker 2: investors the tax breaks that help their parents make some
- 6:16Speaker 2: money in real estate or shares, and it won't work.
- 6:21Speaker 2: On the other end, you got the government saying, oh no, no,
- 6:23Speaker 2: this is about you know, helping young Australians buy their
- 6:25Speaker 2: first home by stopping older Australians from snapping them up
- 6:29Speaker 2: themselves for investments. Although you know, personally I would have
- 6:34Speaker 2: started by stopping so many immigrants coming in and buying
- 6:37Speaker 2: those houses instead. Wouldn't that have helped? And if the
- 6:41Speaker 2: government really were worried about what it calls intergenerational inequity,
- 6:47Speaker 2: you know, older Australians making younger ones pay. Why is
- 6:50Speaker 2: this very same government increasing gross step to a frightening
- 6:54Speaker 2: one point two five trillion dollars and then telling the
- 7:01Speaker 2: you pay for him. But whatever, whether these changes are
- 7:06Speaker 2: good or whether they're bad, that is not the big issue.
- 7:11Speaker 2: The most serious issue are the lies, because Albanize he
- 7:17Speaker 2: never gave voters the chance to decide for themselves where
- 7:21Speaker 2: they wanted these big changes. Albanize, he never went to
- 7:27Speaker 2: an election to ask us first to approve what he
- 7:30Speaker 2: now calls his change of mind, his lies. As John
- 7:34Speaker 2: Howard did as Prime Minister when he changed his mind
- 7:37Speaker 2: about the GSD. He didn't give it to us after
- 7:40Speaker 2: he had gone to an election first to persuade us.
- 7:44Speaker 2: You know why, Albanize, he didn't do it because Labour
- 7:48Speaker 2: asked voters if they wanted these changes three elections ago.
- 7:53Speaker 2: That was under the leadership of Bill Shorten, and voters
- 7:56Speaker 2: said then a hard no, and for the Liberals instead.
- 8:02Speaker 2: So voters made the call back then no do changing
- 8:05Speaker 2: capital gains, tax discounts. No to changing negative gearing. They
- 8:09Speaker 2: were in charge. But now you've got Albanize. He's saying, oh,
- 8:12Speaker 2: to hell with democracy. I'll do exactly what the voters
- 8:18Speaker 2: didn't ask for and exactly what Albanize promised not to do.
- 8:22Speaker 2: He lied to us and decided for himself something that
- 8:24Speaker 2: should have been up to all voters. Effectively, he stole
- 8:29Speaker 2: people's vote. Now, as I said, you're going to get
- 8:33Speaker 2: people say ah that all politicians lie, you know, and
- 8:38Speaker 2: Labor is actually counting on you to just move on.
- 8:42Speaker 2: But let me show you the price of these lies
- 8:45Speaker 2: and why we cannot let Albanizer or any other politician
- 8:47Speaker 2: get away with this kind of brazen con you get
- 8:53Speaker 2: now financial advisors such as Jeff Wilson of Wilson Assent
- 8:56Speaker 2: Management saying, well, this bixpining government has already been going
- 8:59Speaker 2: from one pools savings after another to raise cash, you know,
- 9:02Speaker 2: because it needs it's desperate, hungry, and now it could
- 9:08Speaker 2: attack the most obvious saving still left for middle Australia,
- 9:12Speaker 2: their family home.
- 9:15Speaker 5: Put all your money in your family home. Then they're
- 9:17Speaker 5: going to tax the family home. Says, hey, they lied
- 9:21Speaker 5: to us last time. Well that's what they're going to
- 9:23Speaker 5: do it. I mean, they're doing exactly what they tried
- 9:25Speaker 5: to do back in nineteen. They're going to tax the
- 9:28Speaker 5: family home. We saw what they did with superannuation. They're
- 9:32Speaker 5: just picking them off one at a time. They've done superannuation,
- 9:35Speaker 5: they do negative gearing, they do capital gains, They'll do
- 9:38Speaker 5: the family home, They'll do the inheritance tax.
- 9:41Speaker 2: It's all coming a good point. So all day you
- 9:45Speaker 2: had alban is the intrisuy Jim charmers be peppered with
- 9:49Speaker 2: questions about the government's next tax grab.
- 9:52Speaker 3: Will they hit on the family home be next?
- 9:55Speaker 4: I know, Pete with respect, how does anyone believe you?
- 9:58Speaker 6: No hit on the family home is coming next? Is
- 10:00Speaker 6: that what you're saying.
- 10:04Speaker 7: No, we're not changing the arrangements when it comes to
- 10:07Speaker 7: the family home. We're not changing arrangements when it comes
- 10:10Speaker 7: to things like inheritances.
- 10:12Speaker 8: Will you introduce a death tax?
- 10:16Speaker 9: No?
- 10:17Speaker 8: But things change, don't they? As you were the treasure
- 10:20Speaker 8: of repeeddally, so.
- 10:21Speaker 4: That these are the positions that were put in Sarah.
- 10:25Speaker 8: And you've also said that things change.
- 10:29Speaker 4: So wait, how can we leave him?
- 10:33Speaker 2: See the problem which voters could believe these lawyers after
- 10:38Speaker 2: this budget, and that is how you're being robbed of
- 10:41Speaker 2: your political power. Once, if a prime minister made a promise,
- 10:45Speaker 2: you could in almost all cases hold it over him.
- 10:49Speaker 2: A politician's word was supposed to be his bond, and
- 10:53Speaker 2: it was a bond in your hands. You could hold
- 10:56Speaker 2: them to it, but now the bond is worthless. Albani
- 11:00Speaker 2: is he is going to do exactly what he wants
- 11:02Speaker 2: to and not what he promised. He has stolen your power,
- 11:08Speaker 2: so it doesn't matter whether these tax changes are good
- 11:10Speaker 2: or whether they're bad. Albanize has stolen something very precious
- 11:14Speaker 2: and voting him out now maybe the last power voters
- 11:19Speaker 2: have left. There's another big point to make about this budget.
- 11:27Speaker 2: The Prime Minister in Parliament today excuse his laws by
- 11:30Speaker 2: claiming again it was all about helping younger Australians, in
- 11:34Speaker 2: this case helping them to buy their first home.
- 11:37Speaker 4: Unless we at now we're looking at a generation missing out.
- 11:45Speaker 2: Never mind that the budge of papers actually say that
- 11:47Speaker 2: these tax changes actually mean there'll be thirty five thousand
- 11:51Speaker 2: fewer homes being built. But as I said, if the
- 11:55Speaker 2: government is so worried about the young missing out, why
- 11:57Speaker 2: did it last night add another one hundred and twenty
- 12:00Speaker 2: billion dollars of deficits money that the young are going
- 12:04Speaker 2: to have to pay off. But on that here is
- 12:09Speaker 2: something that really beggars belief. I've got to show it
- 12:12Speaker 2: to you because you won't believe it if you ask
- 12:14Speaker 2: Albanesi and some did today, he'll say, what deficits.
- 12:19Speaker 4: We've reduced debt by one hundred and seventy three billion
- 12:24Speaker 4: dollars since we came into office.
- 12:27Speaker 2: That is another flat out lie. I mean, here are
- 12:31Speaker 2: the budget figures from just last night. Net debt in
- 12:34Speaker 2: fact goes up every single year, up, not down, and
- 12:40Speaker 2: we'll keep going up for almost a decade to come
- 12:45Speaker 2: gross there. In fact, we'll hit a trillion dollars this
- 12:47Speaker 2: year and keep going to This budget is built on
- 12:50Speaker 2: lies and debt and very dodgy accounting. For instance, check
- 12:54Speaker 2: this out. So comparison between the Treasury growth forecasts that
- 12:58Speaker 2: we used the budget last night and the Reserve Bank
- 13:00Speaker 2: forecast in its latest statement of Monetary policy. And as
- 13:04Speaker 2: you see, Treasurer has been telling the government, oh, economic
- 13:07Speaker 2: growth this financial year, next financial year and the year
- 13:10Speaker 2: after is going to be higher, even much higher than
- 13:13Speaker 2: what the Reserve Bank says. Our business editer Ross green
- 13:16Speaker 2: with estimate estimates. So this difference works out about nine
- 13:19Speaker 2: billion dollars years of it extra taxes for the government
- 13:23Speaker 2: this year and up to thirty billion in two years time.
- 13:28Speaker 2: And if the government's forecast, if they're wrong, oh gosh,
- 13:33Speaker 2: we are going to be an even more strife than
- 13:36Speaker 2: we are already. Joining me is our regular commentator Matt Canavan,
- 13:39Speaker 2: our leader of the National Party, Matt, great to see you.
- 13:42Speaker 2: The Nationals of the Liberals say they're going to fight
- 13:45Speaker 2: these changes and negative gearing and capital gains. What do
- 13:48Speaker 2: you reckon is that the best thing to do? When
- 13:50Speaker 2: you know bringing them back, repealing any change with the
- 13:53Speaker 2: government makes will cost you billions and billions of dollars.
- 13:59Speaker 6: Well, Ahole will fight these laws just as strongly Andrew
- 14:03Speaker 6: will fight to defeat them in the Parliament, and if
- 14:07Speaker 6: we don't succeed there, we'll take them to the next
- 14:09Speaker 6: election and seek the mandate of Australian people to restore
- 14:14Speaker 6: integrity to a government that we don't reward a government
- 14:17Speaker 6: that brazenly lies without remorse to us. But more importantly,
- 14:21Speaker 6: that we lower the tax burden on Australian families, that
- 14:24Speaker 6: we expand our economic opportunities, that we give people hope
- 14:29Speaker 6: that Australia can be richer, can be better, can be
- 14:32Speaker 6: wealthier in the future for future generations of Australians. That's
- 14:36Speaker 6: what we'll be doing and fighting for over the next
- 14:38Speaker 6: few years. Now, is it going to be as you say,
- 14:42Speaker 6: to give up these tax revenues, Well, I'll just compare
- 14:46Speaker 6: a couple of statistics for you. The government says in
- 14:50Speaker 6: this budget over the next four years, the budget years
- 14:53Speaker 6: so called budget years, that its tax changes would raise
- 14:56Speaker 6: roughly ten billion dollars. The budget also says that just
- 15:03Speaker 6: over the past year, just in the past year, the
- 15:05Speaker 6: government has increased spending on net zero by twelve billion dollars.
- 15:10Speaker 6: So I reckon what would be a better deal for
- 15:14Speaker 6: the Australian people is that we yes, cut taxes that
- 15:18Speaker 6: would mean less revenue coming to us into the government,
- 15:21Speaker 6: but we also scrap net zero and that way we
- 15:25Speaker 6: don't have to spend billions and billions of dollars to
- 15:27Speaker 6: billionaires like Twiggy Forest who have wasted it not paying
- 15:30Speaker 6: it all back. We don't have to see a policy
- 15:34Speaker 6: settings policy will put policies in place that push up
- 15:37Speaker 6: the cost of energy, that drive manufacturing jobs away from Australia,
- 15:41Speaker 6: that actually damage the very environment that this policy is
- 15:45Speaker 6: purported to do, and that we bring back sovereignty this country.
- 15:49Speaker 6: We decide what goes on, and we have a policy
- 15:51Speaker 6: that simply tries to use our energy resources for the
- 15:54Speaker 6: fulfillment of the dreams of Australian people.
- 15:58Speaker 2: Well, boy, I'm loving what I'm hearing, mat But the
- 16:02Speaker 2: interesting thing of course here is that while you're speaking about,
- 16:05Speaker 2: you know, cutting all the spending twelve billion dollars last
- 16:09Speaker 2: night and extra twelve billion dollars, I should add extra
- 16:13Speaker 2: twelve billion on that zero. You want to get rid
- 16:15Speaker 2: of it? What about your Liberal partners? Is that going
- 16:18Speaker 2: to be the big announcement that Angus Taylor makes tomorrow.
- 16:21Speaker 2: We're going to scrap every dollar this net zero twelve
- 16:24Speaker 2: billion dollars for tax tax relief instead.
- 16:29Speaker 6: Look, I'm not going to put words in Angus's mouth,
- 16:32Speaker 6: but to be very clear, Andrew, the Liberal and Nationals
- 16:34Speaker 6: Party parties have committed to scrapping Net zero. We did
- 16:37Speaker 6: that months ago, just before Christmas. Yes, it took a
- 16:41Speaker 6: lot of fight from me and so my colleagues to
- 16:44Speaker 6: get to that position. But having done so, we now
- 16:47Speaker 6: have seventy members of the Parliament here in Canberra who
- 16:51Speaker 6: are fighting against THATT zero because it is putting at
- 16:54Speaker 6: risk the future wealth of our country. And I'm glad
- 16:57Speaker 6: you liked my little silicoy there. I think it was
- 16:59Speaker 6: on the ABC. Would have been interrupted three or four
- 17:01Speaker 6: times getting that out because they like the fact that
- 17:04Speaker 6: liberal and national parties have decided to come back to
- 17:08Speaker 6: the land of common sense and say this net zero
- 17:10Speaker 6: thing is not working. Keep in mind, Andrew that last night.
- 17:13Speaker 6: Last night the Treasurer mentioned net zero just once, and
- 17:17Speaker 6: that was a fleeting lame reference to the world as
- 17:20Speaker 6: moving to net zero. They're not. But he hardly put
- 17:22Speaker 6: up a strong defense of the government's net zero policy.
- 17:25Speaker 6: Katie Gallagher was trying to say they can't spend more
- 17:28Speaker 6: on net zero. The Finance miss was saying that, well,
- 17:30Speaker 6: in fact they are. If you look at their budget papers,
- 17:33Speaker 6: net zero is dead. It's dead around the world. It's
- 17:36Speaker 6: just the problem for us is it's still costing that
- 17:38Speaker 6: zero is still costing us an arm and a leg.
- 17:43Speaker 2: Look, yes, you know you have been fighting for it,
- 17:46Speaker 2: but that's my whole point. While you're getting lipservers from
- 17:49Speaker 2: the liberals and yes we are not going to follow
- 17:51Speaker 2: the net zero I haven't seen translated into spending cuts
- 17:55Speaker 2: to net zero program. So we may be in for
- 17:57Speaker 2: a treat tomorrow. Let's see if you your way. The
- 18:00Speaker 2: way you're talking suggests that I should watch with both
- 18:03Speaker 2: those wide open and popcorn out. Overall this budget it
- 18:09Speaker 2: spells out a year of pain again, does it? No,
- 18:11Speaker 2: I mean you've got inflation next year is supposedly hitting
- 18:15Speaker 2: five percent, which is way ahead of wages growth and
- 18:20Speaker 2: CPI next year. What do you make of that?
- 18:25Speaker 6: What I make of that, Andrew, is that the living
- 18:28Speaker 6: standars of Australians will continue to fall under this government,
- 18:32Speaker 6: with inflation is going to be running a higher than
- 18:35Speaker 6: real wage growth. It's just over two percent in this budget.
- 18:38Speaker 6: Inflation at five that means the price of things are
- 18:41Speaker 6: going up by more than what your wages go up by.
- 18:44Speaker 6: And that means your standard living falls continues to fall,
- 18:48Speaker 6: because it's fallen for the first four years of this government,
- 18:51Speaker 6: and the Labor Party projecting it to fall further. Now
- 18:54Speaker 6: they'll say, they'll say that I know this is all
- 18:56Speaker 6: due to global factors.
- 18:57Speaker 1: A rah.
- 18:58Speaker 6: Well, we had the highest inflation rate in the develop
- 19:00Speaker 6: world before Iran. And the real problem with last night's
- 19:04Speaker 6: budget is not just the breach of trust. It's the
- 19:07Speaker 6: white flag, the surrender that this government has flagged to
- 19:14Speaker 6: the need to lift economic growth, to lift our economic prospects,
- 19:18Speaker 6: to restore living stands, to Austrains. The government's given up
- 19:20Speaker 6: on that. They have no plan. There's zero plan here
- 19:24Speaker 6: to try and make us more prosperous and better off.
- 19:28Speaker 6: I don't think we should do that. We have so
- 19:31Speaker 6: many resources in this country. If we put our minds
- 19:34Speaker 6: to it, if we put some elbow grease into it,
- 19:40Speaker 6: we can be wealthier, we can be better off. But
- 19:42Speaker 6: we've got to make tough decisions to do that. And
- 19:45Speaker 6: so this government's just just totally left the field there.
- 19:47Speaker 6: I did spend I spent the last couple of months
- 19:50Speaker 6: talking to people in southern New South Wales through the
- 19:51Speaker 6: pharaoh by election. Not once did people raise with me
- 19:54Speaker 6: the taxation of trust's capital gains tax. I can't even
- 19:57Speaker 6: remember negative gearing. Sometimes that comes up, but I can't
- 20:00Speaker 6: I remember it. But people are time and time again
- 20:03Speaker 6: it said to me that they were struggling to pay
- 20:05Speaker 6: their bills, small businesses were just hanging on, people couldn't
- 20:08Speaker 6: get into hospitals, Waiting times were blowing out. Those are
- 20:12Speaker 6: the things people raise with me, and those are the
- 20:14Speaker 6: concerns of the average Australian people that the government has
- 20:17Speaker 6: just ignored last night. They have no plan to deal
- 20:19Speaker 6: with those things. I think a lot of strains are
- 20:21Speaker 6: shaking their head thinking what's going on with this government?
- 20:24Speaker 6: Why are they making all these arcade changes to tax
- 20:26Speaker 6: law I've never heard of, but they didn't promise before
- 20:29Speaker 6: the last election. But all I want is a government
- 20:31Speaker 6: that helps helps allow me to pay my bills, to
- 20:34Speaker 6: stay in a home, save up for a home sends,
- 20:37Speaker 6: will see a doctor when I need to.
- 20:38Speaker 2: Matt, I don't get it either. I don't get where
- 20:41Speaker 2: the government is going for this way of cooling demand
- 20:44Speaker 2: for homes but smashing older Australian investors from bidding against
- 20:48Speaker 2: first home bars instead of how about slashing immigration and
- 20:53Speaker 2: discouraging more foreigners from coming in and bidding his first
- 20:56Speaker 2: home bars. Same logic, different set of people. I know
- 20:59Speaker 2: which one I think should the should be discouraged, And
- 21:01Speaker 2: it's not the older Australians. Oh, there you go, that's
- 21:05Speaker 2: just me. I guess back, kan of Man, thank you
- 21:07Speaker 2: so much indeed for your time. After the break, Pauline
- 21:11Speaker 2: Hanson crashes Angus Taylor's party tomorrow she gives her first
- 21:15Speaker 2: her own formal reply to the government's budget, just for
- 21:18Speaker 2: Angus Taylor has to give his own. You may have
- 21:21Speaker 2: to be the speech of his life. The panel up next.
- 21:29Speaker 2: You came back on Mondays. You probably know from two
- 21:32Speaker 2: weeks traveling in country New South Wales, Victoria. Lovely trip,
- 21:36Speaker 2: staying not just in regional centers likede Bendigo just outside
- 21:40Speaker 2: bower All, but also small towns like Jerildery by the
- 21:44Speaker 2: Murray and the Rock in New South Wales. Lovely Boss Club.
- 21:48Speaker 2: There even in a converted silo on a farm outside
- 21:52Speaker 2: Junie and more another farm in the Southern Highlands, a
- 21:56Speaker 2: property near Mount Masidon where it was for the Anzac
- 21:59Speaker 2: Day dawn service. And you know, I get one nation
- 22:04Speaker 2: even more, the sense that so many people that I
- 22:08Speaker 2: met had, you know, people who came up to speak
- 22:11Speaker 2: to me, apparently Scar News. Uh, we've got a bit
- 22:13Speaker 2: of rich there. Hello to everyone I met. They're discussed
- 22:17Speaker 2: the disgust that they these people had with Canberra politics,
- 22:21Speaker 2: the dismay at how our political class had changed our
- 22:25Speaker 2: country so dramatically, to something if I barely recognize at times.
- 22:31Speaker 2: Now I'm talking about everyone. I mean, of course, you know,
- 22:33Speaker 2: but a lot one example. You know, I am a
- 22:38Speaker 2: big fan of country museums. I go to the mall.
- 22:42Speaker 2: So many towns have one because out there people really
- 22:46Speaker 2: are proud of our past. So many of war memorials,
- 22:49Speaker 2: like the Rocky I've got several there. They even found
- 22:53Speaker 2: they had an old machine gun in the street that's
- 22:56Speaker 2: still worked. Did they know now that pride in our
- 23:02Speaker 2: past was so striking? I mean, Gundergay even has a
- 23:05Speaker 2: Penn Museum. Pride everywhere, and especially in the people who
- 23:10Speaker 2: made the wealth that we now enjoy. And for the military.
- 23:14Speaker 2: I much pride for the military that service, pride in
- 23:18Speaker 2: this so beautiful country. So can you imagine how the
- 23:24Speaker 2: sneering at our past, the preaching of shame that's so
- 23:28Speaker 2: fashionable in the urban political class, apologies and this and acknowledgements,
- 23:33Speaker 2: how that goes down in such places. And can you
- 23:35Speaker 2: imagine too, with so many the rural poor feeling a
- 23:38Speaker 2: band about Canberra, hating the Canberra spin, how they now
- 23:42Speaker 2: feel about urban easy telling total lies fifty times. No,
- 23:47Speaker 2: I told you I will not scrap negative gearing. I
- 23:53Speaker 2: digress kind of. And I was in the Seed of
- 23:57Speaker 2: Pharah last weekend when the locals there handle the seats
- 24:01Speaker 2: of one nation in a landslade. Paula Hanson showed off
- 24:04Speaker 2: the winner David Farley and cambridg today before having a
- 24:06Speaker 2: huge whack at last night's budget.
- 24:10Speaker 8: I see this as nothing but communism taken over and
- 24:14Speaker 8: redistributing wealth.
- 24:17Speaker 2: And this year there's going to be something different. And
- 24:18Speaker 2: normally the big speech on the Thursday after a budget
- 24:22Speaker 2: replying to the budgets given by the opposition leader and
- 24:26Speaker 2: Angus Taylor sure doesn't need to smash this one out
- 24:29Speaker 2: of the park after the hiding the Liberals Scott in
- 24:31Speaker 2: farre But this year One Nation leader Pauline Hanson, she's
- 24:35Speaker 2: going to give her own reply in the center at
- 24:37Speaker 2: the very same time to underline her claims to be
- 24:39Speaker 2: the real or rising leader of the opposition to Labor.
- 24:43Speaker 2: Joining me is the political panel Camera Milner, former chief
- 24:46Speaker 2: of Staff to Labor leader Bill Shorten now director of
- 24:49Speaker 2: GXO Strategies, and Michael Cossa forming New South Wales Labor
- 24:53Speaker 2: Treasurer Cameron. The budget the main issue is whether it
- 24:58Speaker 2: helps the country. But let me ask you, whether it
- 25:00Speaker 2: makes Labour's stronger politically or does it help the Liberals
- 25:04Speaker 2: and One Nation?
- 25:08Speaker 7: Well, I think it certainly produces a better reform outcome
- 25:12Speaker 7: for labor. Labors actually finally delivered what I would see
- 25:14Speaker 7: as a labor budget in terms of putting in Shorten's
- 25:16Speaker 7: ideas actually into a budget. But no, I think the
- 25:20Speaker 7: issue is that Albanese is seen as a.
- 25:22Speaker 1: Liar, an absolute liar, and that's the problem.
- 25:25Speaker 7: And you've only got so much political currency, and now
- 25:27Speaker 7: he's lied not once, but fifty times by looks of
- 25:29Speaker 7: it on one.
- 25:29Speaker 1: Of these matters.
- 25:30Speaker 7: And he also looks like a coward because he didn't
- 25:32Speaker 7: take it to the election.
- 25:33Speaker 1: A liar and a coward.
- 25:34Speaker 7: And that's the problem is that at least short had
- 25:37Speaker 7: the courage to take it to the voters, so to
- 25:39Speaker 7: John Howard, Soda, Bob Hawk so GoF Whitlam in their day,
- 25:42Speaker 7: but not Albanese. He sat there with ninety four seats,
- 25:45Speaker 7: very smug, having done his to do list, and then
- 25:47Speaker 7: he finally lied for the lodge.
- 25:51Speaker 2: Well, Michael, what do you make of that harsh assessment?
- 25:55Speaker 2: Is it fair?
- 25:58Speaker 10: Look?
- 25:58Speaker 9: I think that this is exactly the sword of budget
- 26:02Speaker 9: you would expect from a government that has a slogan
- 26:05Speaker 9: fetish and the hubris of a large majority. And that's
- 26:09Speaker 9: exactly what you saw in terms of the budget itself. Look,
- 26:13Speaker 9: I'm going to differ with Cameron. I don't oppose the
- 26:16Speaker 9: changes that were made, but they're really small beer. You know,
- 26:20Speaker 9: the fact is that Albo gave away his credibility and
- 26:23Speaker 9: he has given away his credibility for what seventy five
- 26:26Speaker 9: thousand homes over ten years and seventy seven billion dollars
- 26:29Speaker 9: worth of revenue. That's if you believe the optimistic forecast.
- 26:34Speaker 9: At the same time, he's bringing a million people into
- 26:38Speaker 9: the country over the next four or five years, which
- 26:40Speaker 9: is going to push house prices up. Look, I think
- 26:43Speaker 9: the issue and if Cameron was running the campaign, he
- 26:46Speaker 9: would agree will be elbow as a liar, as somebody
- 26:51Speaker 9: that you can't trust, And I think I would be
- 26:53Speaker 9: focusing as I saw some people focusing today on the
- 26:56Speaker 9: question of the family home. You could run the megascare
- 27:00Speaker 9: campaign of all time better than many scare on whether
- 27:03Speaker 9: he's going to tax the family home, and he has
- 27:05Speaker 9: no credibility, no answer to that, So I think they're
- 27:08Speaker 9: in real trouble. I just worry about Pauline answer talking
- 27:12Speaker 9: about Marxism and communism. I think she's you know, she's
- 27:15Speaker 9: got to refiner message and focus on things that are
- 27:17Speaker 9: important to people.
- 27:21Speaker 2: Now Cameron. I mean, look, Albert easy will think, well,
- 27:25Speaker 2: I I changed my mind or lied when I said
- 27:29Speaker 2: I wouldn't change the tax cuts when he first got elected.
- 27:34Speaker 2: He also lied about or failed to deliver two hundred
- 27:38Speaker 2: and seventy five dollars cuts to our power bills. Got
- 27:41Speaker 2: away with it, clean, away with it, mate. Maybe you'll
- 27:44Speaker 2: get away with this.
- 27:47Speaker 7: Yeah, but it's a very different thing to your editorial
- 27:49Speaker 7: ander at the top of the show. I mean, this
- 27:50Speaker 7: is about what our democratic values actually are. It's the
- 27:53Speaker 7: power of Australian voters to have a say and for
- 27:56Speaker 7: good to say. Bob Hawk won eighty three and eighty four.
- 27:58Speaker 7: He went to a double D on this card. Was
- 28:01Speaker 7: a conviction politician who said I'm going to put the
- 28:03Speaker 7: idea before the people twelve months after he got elected.
- 28:05Speaker 1: What about Albo no guts, no guts, no courage.
- 28:09Speaker 7: Completely cowardly apt, which is that with ninety four seats
- 28:12Speaker 7: and a Greens which are tax and waste, tax and
- 28:15Speaker 7: waste Greens in the center, will wave all these tax
- 28:17Speaker 7: changes through with it and with an opposition which is
- 28:19Speaker 7: on its knees.
- 28:20Speaker 1: I mean, that's the bravery of Albanese. You know, Reform
- 28:24Speaker 1: from the easy seats.
- 28:26Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 28:28Speaker 2: Well, but Michael, like I say, he's got away with
- 28:31Speaker 2: it before, I.
- 28:33Speaker 9: Don't think you'll get away with it this time. And
- 28:35Speaker 9: look there's another component to this, of course, and then
- 28:38Speaker 9: that's Charmers. I mean that budget was a sort of
- 28:40Speaker 9: written confession by Charmers that he's clueless about the economy.
- 28:44Speaker 9: I mean, let's have a look at what he said
- 28:46Speaker 9: budget management. We've got another one hundred and fifty billion
- 28:48Speaker 9: dollars worth of defensits on inflation. He's given up, as
- 28:52Speaker 9: your previous speaker Canavan said, he's just given up on it.
- 28:55Speaker 9: And then he's got all these bogus figures in there
- 28:57Speaker 9: that nobody believes that are going to be blowing out
- 29:00Speaker 9: the water at the next interest rate increase.
- 29:03Speaker 1: And then look at intergenerational fanus.
- 29:05Speaker 9: Seriously, does that result in intergenerational fannus seven five hundred
- 29:10Speaker 9: additional homes if you can get them a year, it's
- 29:13Speaker 9: just nonsense. So I think you've got both of them
- 29:16Speaker 9: under the pressure and their credibility is lost.
- 29:21Speaker 2: Yeah, the policy is seventy five thousand first home extra
- 29:26Speaker 2: first homes that will be bought over ten years at
- 29:31Speaker 2: a time when we expect about one point two one
- 29:35Speaker 2: point three million first home bars, so it's a small
- 29:40Speaker 2: percentage of what already will be sold. Anyway, Ben Roberts
- 29:44Speaker 2: Smith Cameron may run in the next selection in Canning
- 29:47Speaker 2: against Andrew Hasey, the former Essays soldier that gave evidence
- 29:51Speaker 2: against the many sued journeys were accusing him of war crimes.
- 29:54Speaker 2: If true, one nation is interested, but it's not saying
- 29:57Speaker 2: one way or the other. Is this a good move
- 30:00Speaker 2: by that party?
- 30:03Speaker 7: If it is to happen, it's a genius move because
- 30:05Speaker 7: Ben Robert Smith, regardless of.
- 30:07Speaker 1: Recent times, is a war hero.
- 30:09Speaker 7: He won of Victoria Cross for standing up for his
- 30:11Speaker 7: mates in the field.
- 30:12Speaker 1: Of battle under fire. I mean, this guy's a real hero.
- 30:15Speaker 7: I mean, yes, sure Hasty might have served the ses,
- 30:18Speaker 7: but Ben Roberts Smith served the Ses.
- 30:20Speaker 1: And god of Victoria Cross.
- 30:21Speaker 7: Now, if that's a contest worth watching, that's certainly Electorate
- 30:24Speaker 7: of Canning.
- 30:25Speaker 1: If he runs, one nation which will be fascinated to watch.
- 30:29Speaker 2: What do you make of that, Michael.
- 30:32Speaker 9: I think that Hasty's in trouble whoever runs. I mean
- 30:35Speaker 9: he's on a six percent margin from memory or something
- 30:38Speaker 9: around that. I think he's in trouble if one nation
- 30:40Speaker 9: runs in the seat, and I think they've already got
- 30:42Speaker 9: a base in his seat. I think he's going to lose,
- 30:45Speaker 9: but certainly Ben Robert Smith will have had his own
- 30:47Speaker 9: personal charisma to it. But I think he's in trouble.
- 30:51Speaker 2: In any event, well, that will be absolutely devastating for
- 30:56Speaker 2: the Liberal Party. If that happens, it is one more
- 30:59Speaker 2: seat lost, one more talent gone, one more leadership aspirant
- 31:02Speaker 2: also gone. Look, it's all cactus if you ask me.
- 31:07Speaker 2: Michael Costla, camer Milner, thank you very much to you both.
- 31:11Speaker 2: After the break, Donald Trump tells Britain's woke prime minister
- 31:14Speaker 2: how to save his sinking leadership. But I tell you
- 31:18Speaker 2: it's our own prime minister should have been listening after
- 31:21Speaker 2: blowing another twelve billion dollars on its zero Roundin coming up,
- 31:30Speaker 2: Donald Trump is going to land in Beijing sometimes tonight
- 31:33Speaker 2: for his first meeting with Dictator Jijipin. Im going to
- 31:36Speaker 2: learn in China for the first time in nine years.
- 31:40Speaker 2: And this is going to be a very huge meeting,
- 31:43Speaker 2: very very tense, with Trump on the back foot in
- 31:46Speaker 2: his stalled war in Iran, which China, by the way,
- 31:50Speaker 2: has been backing, but Trump flew off, still a lot
- 31:55Speaker 2: of confidence and a word or two or three or
- 31:57Speaker 2: four or more of advice for a leader, and even
- 32:01Speaker 2: more strife British Prime Minister Kiyo Istama, the woken, weak
- 32:05Speaker 2: green energy man and their faces, a sack from his colleagues,
- 32:09Speaker 2: with his poles in the toilet, and a lot of
- 32:11Speaker 2: them telling him quit or we'll quit as well. In
- 32:15Speaker 2: fact several everlready. My advice has always been open up
- 32:20Speaker 2: your oil in the North Sea, you got one of
- 32:23Speaker 2: the great oil finds anywhere in the world. And get
- 32:27Speaker 2: tough on immigration.
- 32:28Speaker 5: Did he stay go Europe is being very, very hurt
- 32:31Speaker 5: by immigration.
- 32:32Speaker 2: All over Europe.
- 32:33Speaker 1: Did he stay or goes?
- 32:35Speaker 2: That's up to him.
- 32:36Speaker 3: But I've told him from day one, you're getting killed
- 32:39Speaker 3: on energy. You're windmilling your country to death.
- 32:44Speaker 2: What a contrast to our own prime minister. I mean,
- 32:47Speaker 2: the Aveneze government's budget last night promised another twelve billion
- 32:51Speaker 2: dollars and extra twelve billion dollars for new net zero schemes,
- 32:55Speaker 2: schemes that won't change our climate, but anything anyone can measure.
- 33:00Speaker 2: And I did pick up that hint from Matt Kenavan
- 33:04Speaker 2: that the liberal leader Angus Taylor might have something to
- 33:07Speaker 2: say about all that tomorrow. Boy does he need to
- 33:10Speaker 2: and am I looking forward to it if he does
- 33:13Speaker 2: join me his rown dinas Or and Cheep of The
- 33:14Speaker 2: Spectator Australia, host of Outsiders every Sunday at nine am
- 33:18Speaker 2: and host of his own show on Fridays at seven pm.
- 33:22Speaker 2: Rowan lovely to see you. Trump sure gets it. You know,
- 33:26Speaker 2: I was going through the budget of papers in the
- 33:28Speaker 2: lock up yesterday seeing just how much money was being
- 33:34Speaker 2: utterly wasted at zero warming schemes. Here, all the bodies,
- 33:39Speaker 2: the organizations of the government's funding clean energy funds and
- 33:43Speaker 2: regulators and this and that and entire army of bureaucrats.
- 33:47Speaker 2: The waste is criminal.
- 33:52Speaker 3: Well, Andrew Donald Trump just said it. He was talking
- 33:55Speaker 3: about England, but he may as well have been talking
- 33:57Speaker 3: about Australia. We are wind milling ourselves to death. We
- 34:00Speaker 3: are solar paneling ourselves to death, we are battering ourselves
- 34:04Speaker 3: to death, we are indicing ourselves to death. The Labor
- 34:09Speaker 3: Party is destroying this country in the most disgraceful fashion.
- 34:14Speaker 3: It's clear now that what we are dealing with is
- 34:17Speaker 3: not a sensible government, but rather a bunch of out
- 34:19Speaker 3: of control undergraduate socialists who've never got past any of
- 34:24Speaker 3: their undergraduate socialist fantasies, including backing Palestine, including clearly the
- 34:30Speaker 3: destruction of private property in this country and the destruction
- 34:34Speaker 3: of the one market. But up until now, every Australian
- 34:39Speaker 3: has had access to and the ability to join in
- 34:43Speaker 3: to live the great Australian dream. Every migrant who came
- 34:48Speaker 3: here after the war or even before and since has
- 34:52Speaker 3: longed for the ability to own their own land. In fact,
- 34:55Speaker 3: going right back to settlement, you could argue even convicts
- 34:58Speaker 3: were given the right to have the their own land
- 35:01Speaker 3: to build their own future in a free and independent land.
- 35:06Speaker 3: The land of the individual labor has now destroyed that totally.
- 35:11Speaker 3: This is, as Pauline Hanson said this afternoon, communism. We
- 35:14Speaker 3: now have a hardcore socialist government determined to destroy destroy
- 35:20Speaker 3: private ownership of wealth of property and through that destroying
- 35:25Speaker 3: the ability to build your own security for your future
- 35:29Speaker 3: and for your family. This is an absolute disgrace. They've
- 35:32Speaker 3: trashed the Australian dream and every single Australian should be
- 35:37Speaker 3: furious because not only did they lie repeatedly, as you
- 35:41Speaker 3: pointed out at the beginning of the show, and so
- 35:45Speaker 3: many times it's just beyond a joke. But more importantly,
- 35:50Speaker 3: the hypocrisy, the double standards is disgusting. There are labor senators,
- 35:56Speaker 3: labor MPs who have multiple properties, who have built their
- 36:00Speaker 3: own individual wealth. One senator has seven properties Albaneze himself
- 36:05Speaker 3: as a couple. There was the Copa Cabana beach hous
- 36:08Speaker 3: of last year. They have lived the Australian dream. They
- 36:12Speaker 3: have used property to build their future for themselves and
- 36:18Speaker 3: now they are denying that to the entire younger generations
- 36:22Speaker 3: of Australia. They are robbing them of their rightful heritage.
- 36:25Speaker 3: These people are thieves, they are liars and they are hypocrites.
- 36:32Speaker 2: Well, on that lying business, I must say the Liberal
- 36:36Speaker 2: Party machine has found another gear rowan. They've already rushed
- 36:40Speaker 2: out an attack ad about that today. You, as an adman,
- 36:44Speaker 2: I'd like you a verdict on this. Have listened.
- 36:47Speaker 4: My word is my bond.
- 36:49Speaker 3: Has your word ever been your body?
- 36:51Speaker 11: There?
- 36:51Speaker 4: I believe that when you go to an election and
- 36:56Speaker 4: you make commitments, you should stick to them. No, we've
- 36:59Speaker 4: changed the position.
- 37:00Speaker 8: But what's changed, Prime Minister, what's changed so much in
- 37:04Speaker 8: the past twelve months that you've had to break a
- 37:05Speaker 8: promise you repeatedly made.
- 37:06Speaker 4: I've always been a man of my word. We have
- 37:11Speaker 4: changed our position on property issues. Politicians shouldn't be allowed
- 37:16Speaker 4: to say things that they know isn't true.
- 37:19Speaker 8: Does change translate to lie in government language, So we've
- 37:23Speaker 8: changed our position.
- 37:26Speaker 2: What do you reckon, rohing? I mean Albani has just
- 37:29Speaker 2: got away with the lies in the past. Will he
- 37:30Speaker 2: get away with this one? No, he won't.
- 37:33Speaker 3: He's finished. He can't recover from this. Julia Gillard never
- 37:36Speaker 3: recovered from her lie.
- 37:38Speaker 1: This.
- 37:39Speaker 3: People expected Alban Easy to be a bit of a liar,
- 37:42Speaker 3: but to be a compulsive, psychopathic, habitual, chronic liar. No,
- 37:47Speaker 3: Australian people won't buy that. Rebecca Weiss. The writing in
- 37:50Speaker 3: the Spectator Australia next week, which I know because I'm
- 37:53Speaker 3: the editor, has a great line which is his word
- 37:57Speaker 3: is his junk bond, word is his jumbo.
- 38:02Speaker 2: It's a brilliant.
- 38:03Speaker 3: Line and that sums it up entirely what Alban Easy
- 38:08Speaker 3: is about, what charmers is about. They are liars, as
- 38:11Speaker 3: I said, they are thieves. Their word is worthless and
- 38:15Speaker 3: every Australian and all that not all, it's a big
- 38:20Speaker 3: task with the Liberal Party, One Nation and the Nationals
- 38:24Speaker 3: now have to come together in a concerted effort over
- 38:27Speaker 3: the next two years. Every single day, every Australian must
- 38:32Speaker 3: be made aware that alban Easy and Charmers are liars
- 38:37Speaker 3: and need to be turfed out. That has to be
- 38:40Speaker 3: the daily mantra of the conservative side of politics, which
- 38:44Speaker 3: by the way has a sixty to forty majority in
- 38:46Speaker 3: this country, which we saw in the Pharabay election. We
- 38:49Speaker 3: need the Liberals to go hardcore now, finally, stop all
- 38:54Speaker 3: the bedwetting, turnbile rubbish, go hardcore, join forces, whether literal
- 39:00Speaker 3: or just if you like, spiritually with One Nation and
- 39:03Speaker 3: then Nationalist to form a conservative informal coalition to destroy
- 39:09Speaker 3: these labor thieves and restore the Australian dream to Australia.
- 39:18Speaker 2: I don't know, Rowan, A lot of people criticize you
- 39:20Speaker 2: for not actually saying what you mean and you know,
- 39:23Speaker 2: minor retainer going into soft but yeah, you're a bit vague.
- 39:27Speaker 2: I don't know we got quite the message, but well done,
- 39:30Speaker 2: well said, Good on you really appreciate that. Talk to
- 39:33Speaker 2: you next week. I'll tell you what I've told you sory. Oh,
- 39:37Speaker 2: I've been too hard and Angus Taylor as Liberal leader
- 39:41Speaker 2: might have to stick with that. Taylor, if Andrew Hasty
- 39:44Speaker 2: is in that much strife. But I have to say,
- 39:47Speaker 2: if what Matt Canavan was hinting at there, hinting at
- 39:51Speaker 2: as far as I could tell, that net zero is
- 39:55Speaker 2: finished and the funding for it may have to go.
- 39:58Speaker 2: And if that's what Angus Taylor's tomorrow, Angus, I'm going
- 40:02Speaker 2: to be on your bandwagon again. We shall see all
- 40:06Speaker 2: right after the break the film that the Albanizi government
- 40:09Speaker 2: funded that attacks greedy parents for not helping to buy
- 40:13Speaker 2: their children at home, which is the vibe of ol
- 40:15Speaker 2: those budget what it's a price? Plus guz Is supposedly
- 40:19Speaker 2: being starred by Israel still managed to run a marathon.
- 40:27Speaker 2: You know, I wonder if anything Abneze is actually on
- 40:30Speaker 2: a winner with the young by pushing this line of
- 40:33Speaker 2: intergenerational inequity. You know, how old are Australians have been
- 40:37Speaker 2: ripping off the young, stealing their future and they should
- 40:40Speaker 2: be now punished by the government for buying houses. They
- 40:43Speaker 2: should have said go to the young. Is this screen Australia,
- 40:48Speaker 2: funded by the Abaneze government has spent your money on
- 40:51Speaker 2: a film called Birthright, who writer and director complaints that
- 40:56Speaker 2: baby boomers are holding on to wealth with such an
- 40:58Speaker 2: iron grip that it's crippling theomy and a film has
- 41:02Speaker 2: two parents paying a bloody price for not helping their
- 41:06Speaker 2: entitled son by his own home.
- 41:10Speaker 11: We were wondering if we could stay here, maybe be
- 41:15Speaker 11: better for the baby.
- 41:17Speaker 3: Oh, when I was twenty years old, I bought this
- 41:20Speaker 3: house and it was nothing.
- 41:23Speaker 2: I built this life.
- 41:25Speaker 4: Oh, sometimes my parents want to be a bit too involved.
- 41:29Speaker 2: And you appreciate what we had.
- 41:31Speaker 7: And then bit by bed we turned one jacket, one
- 41:34Speaker 7: jumper into a whole.
- 41:35Speaker 9: House, two investment properties.
- 41:37Speaker 2: How much longer do you think you'll be staying for?
- 41:39Speaker 1: How many nights should have bought years ago?
- 41:42Speaker 3: Yes, that I know.
- 41:45Speaker 2: Now. The Age newspaper, very left wing, was of course
- 41:48Speaker 2: on the children's side in a report with the headline
- 41:51Speaker 2: shafted the baby booths who won't help their kids buy
- 41:54Speaker 2: a home? Joining me at gement Tinini Connors then communications
- 41:58Speaker 2: because someulting a mere schlift, Executive director of Samuel Griffith's Society,
- 42:03Speaker 2: Jemma is howbany is he tapping into this vibe of
- 42:07Speaker 2: entitlement or are you on the side of the kids
- 42:10Speaker 2: telling the appearance give us home?
- 42:12Speaker 11: My dad came to Australia on a boat with nothing
- 42:14Speaker 11: when he was ten years old. I don't begroage. Neither
- 42:18Speaker 11: of my parents a single thing that they've worked their
- 42:21Speaker 11: entire lives for. In fact, both of them consistently worked
- 42:25Speaker 11: more than one job. I find this hatred of the
- 42:28Speaker 11: boomers abhorrent, envious, UnAustralian and disgusting, and no, I don't
- 42:33Speaker 11: subscribe to it. As one of my young, bright, young
- 42:36Speaker 11: colleagues said this morning after having looked at the budget
- 42:39Speaker 11: coverage overnight, Andrew, thanks so much for lying albow, and
- 42:43Speaker 11: thanks so much for removing the benefits that your mob
- 42:47Speaker 11: got wealthy off like this is just a joke.
- 42:51Speaker 2: Really, I know, I have to say I'm with the
- 42:55Speaker 2: side of the dad, even though it's clearly the villain there.
- 42:59Speaker 2: I mean life and I between us, we're five or
- 43:01Speaker 2: six jobs for many years to get what we've now got.
- 43:04Speaker 2: So you know, tough, we are helping our children. I
- 43:10Speaker 2: know me, but that's the verb mea now, isn't it.
- 43:13Speaker 2: And I think you know, I know, I think it
- 43:16Speaker 2: easy might be tapping into something here or trying.
- 43:18Speaker 10: To Yeah, I certainly think Albanese is trying to tap
- 43:24Speaker 10: into that resentment. I think my generation has been sold
- 43:26Speaker 10: this line time and time again, that our generation has
- 43:29Speaker 10: got it the hardest when certainly looking back in history,
- 43:31Speaker 10: they are under many circumstances. Circumstances are much better for
- 43:35Speaker 10: my generation there have been for my parents and for
- 43:37Speaker 10: my grandparents. But what I think Albanese is certainly trying
- 43:41Speaker 10: to tap in the most is this fear amongst young people,
- 43:44Speaker 10: in this worry that they won't be able to get
- 43:46Speaker 10: ahead the same way their parents were able to. But
- 43:49Speaker 10: I'll tell you what, Albanese is absolutely taking young people
- 43:52Speaker 10: for fools if he thinks this suite of policies will
- 43:55Speaker 10: be enough to get him back into the club with
- 43:57Speaker 10: the cool kids, which you know he loves so much.
- 43:59Speaker 10: He has such a time the federal election last year,
- 44:02Speaker 10: running around in the podcast circuit and running with his
- 44:04Speaker 10: memes in parliament. But it says in the Bove budget
- 44:08Speaker 10: there are numerous lines in it that's layout how this
- 44:11Speaker 10: will make things so much harder for people my age.
- 44:13Speaker 10: There will be less homes built and rent will go up,
- 44:16Speaker 10: So now not only will be more difficult for people
- 44:19Speaker 10: my age to get ahead if we are renting. But
- 44:21Speaker 10: then once we do, we then can't enjoy the benefits
- 44:24Speaker 10: that those older than us did get to enjoy.
- 44:28Speaker 2: And me, don't forget, we're expecting you in future years
- 44:31Speaker 2: to pay for the debt that's gone in spending for
- 44:34Speaker 2: all these freebies for the boomers. So enjoy, enjoy, and
- 44:38Speaker 2: thank you. At least you're getting a thank you from me.
- 44:41Speaker 2: But Jim, I mean, it seems to me that whole
- 44:45Speaker 2: phrase they keep trotting out of intergeneration and inequity is
- 44:48Speaker 2: very hard on the young. You're not being fair on
- 44:52Speaker 2: the young. Sorry, I mean, is this a deliberate play,
- 44:56Speaker 2: you know, trying to not just if I know, Jews
- 44:58Speaker 2: and Muslims and this and that now divide the old
- 45:01Speaker 2: from the young.
- 45:02Speaker 6: Well, it's very deliberate.
- 45:03Speaker 11: Obviously, it's deliberate. And this last week we saw that
- 45:05Speaker 11: somebody within government leaked the Prime Minister's office talking points
- 45:10Speaker 11: on how to justify breaking their promise to the Australian people.
- 45:13Speaker 11: You don't you don't do that if you're disgusted with
- 45:16Speaker 11: your own and you don't do that unless you've got
- 45:18Speaker 11: something to hide. I mean, this government doesn't know how
- 45:20Speaker 11: to unite the country. It's objectively true that we've never
- 45:23Speaker 11: been more divided, for all of the reasons that don't
- 45:26Speaker 11: need to be reprosecuted right now. But this is just
- 45:30Speaker 11: as Mia quite brilliantly said a lie to her generation,
- 45:35Speaker 11: that this is somehow some sort of yellow brute road.
- 45:37Speaker 11: All this is is ideology rit Lard, and I will
- 45:40Speaker 11: say this, Andrew, I think it's really sweet that Treasurer
- 45:44Speaker 11: Charmers has a PhD in Paul Keating, who of course
- 45:46Speaker 11: gave us the recession we had to have. And this
- 45:49Speaker 11: week Prime Minister Alberanzi has been talking about the lies
- 45:53Speaker 11: that we had to break. I mean, if they were
- 45:55Speaker 11: a boyfriend, you'd break, you'd break up with them. They're
- 45:58Speaker 11: the ultimate dud boyfriend. You just ditch them to the
- 46:01Speaker 11: curb and move on.
- 46:04Speaker 2: Look, I don't know, im me. Do you think you'll
- 46:06Speaker 2: get away with it?
- 46:10Speaker 10: No? I don't think so. And there's a whole buzzword
- 46:12Speaker 10: of intergenerational equity that it keeps sprouting. You know, a
- 46:15Speaker 10: month ago it was social cohesion. He would pass any
- 46:18Speaker 10: policy under the sun, or make any argument, and it
- 46:20Speaker 10: was all justified under this term of social cohesion, whatever
- 46:23Speaker 10: that means. And now the latest buzzword is intergenerational equity.
- 46:27Speaker 10: We'll see it time and time again. But now I
- 46:29Speaker 10: don't think you'll get away with it. I think he's
- 46:31Speaker 10: being laid out to be a liar. And that's a
- 46:33Speaker 10: very difficult thing to come back from because in politics
- 46:36Speaker 10: it is all about authenticity, and once you lose that authenticity,
- 46:39Speaker 10: well I think it's over.
- 46:42Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's right, Jimma. We are still being
- 46:47Speaker 2: fed these atrocity stories about evil Israel. How it's even
- 46:53Speaker 2: today deliberately serving palestini Is in Gaza coming their food aid,
- 46:57Speaker 2: threatening Gazas with another famine as if there actually had
- 47:01Speaker 2: been a famine before, when there hasn't been. We've exposed
- 47:04Speaker 2: that lay before. So can you explain to me how,
- 47:07Speaker 2: in the face of this famine from the Israelis, these
- 47:11Speaker 2: starved Palestinians still the courageous people had the energy somehow
- 47:17Speaker 2: last Friday to run in the annual Palestinian Marathon. How
- 47:22Speaker 2: on earth could this have happened?
- 47:25Speaker 11: The reason, I mean, it's easy to sort of dismiss
- 47:28Speaker 11: this and ridicule it and whatnot, But the reason this
- 47:30Speaker 11: is so damaging and so dangerous is because it undermines
- 47:34Speaker 11: two things. It undermines that the fact that there has
- 47:36Speaker 11: been obviously as a result of a war that Israel
- 47:39Speaker 11: did not start but needed to defend, there has been
- 47:42Speaker 11: suffering and hardship in Gaza. Of course there has. That's
- 47:45Speaker 11: what happens when you start a war and you don't
- 47:47Speaker 11: get to complain when you lose that war. What it
- 47:50Speaker 11: does do is undermines the suffering of those people. I mean, Andrew,
- 47:55Speaker 11: you might find it hard to believe, but I've run
- 47:57Speaker 11: two half marathons in my life. I'll never do another one.
- 48:00Speaker 11: You can't do it if you haven't eaten well. I
- 48:02Speaker 11: give you the tip. I give you the tip. You
- 48:04Speaker 11: don't see. You don't see persecuted Christians in the Sudan
- 48:09Speaker 11: and in Nigeria running marathons. They are literally running for
- 48:13Speaker 11: their lives. It is absolutely bhorring, and members of the
- 48:16Speaker 11: media who perpetrate these myths, you should hang your heads
- 48:20Speaker 11: in shame. It's beyond disgraceful because these same members of
- 48:24Speaker 11: the media refuse to believe the documented, the swathes of
- 48:28Speaker 11: documented evidence about the atrocious, atrocious, violent violation of men
- 48:36Speaker 11: and women sexual violation of men and women Bahamas in
- 48:39Speaker 11: October seventh and in the period of time that the
- 48:43Speaker 11: hostages were held like this is documented evidence that even
- 48:47Speaker 11: the recalcitrant un has accepted, and yet members of the
- 48:50Speaker 11: media continue to perpetrate blood libel. It's sickening. It sickens me.
- 48:56Speaker 2: Well on that very point, On that very point, just
- 48:59Speaker 2: the head of this report on what you've just said
- 49:02Speaker 2: that horrific sex attacks on Israelian women a shocking, The
- 49:08Speaker 2: New York Times managed to just zump it with a
- 49:12Speaker 2: piece by Nicholas Christoff that even claimed Israel had trained
- 49:15Speaker 2: dogs to rape male Palestinian prisoners in jail, as if
- 49:19Speaker 2: that were remotely possible. It's completely fake. It's completely without
- 49:23Speaker 2: credible evidence at all. How does that happen? That's it
- 49:27Speaker 2: for me. Jim and Tonim Mishley, Thank you very much
- 49:30Speaker 2: to you both. Up next to Sherry Marks and good
- 49:33Speaker 2: note
