Speaker 1: Is the folk reform.
0:12
Speaker 2: One Nation has arrived because leader paul In Hansen today
0:17
Speaker 2: had Anthony Albanese spooked. I'm going to give you a contrast.
0:21
Speaker 2: When the Prime Minister gave his big speech at the
0:24
Speaker 2: last Labor national conference three years ago, he did not
0:29
Speaker 2: mention one nation once, did not hint about it, did
0:33
Speaker 2: not take any sniping out, nothing. But at Labour's national
0:38
Speaker 2: conference in Adelaide today Albanze could not stop talking about
0:43
Speaker 2: Hansen and one Nation. In fact, he attacked one Nation
0:47
Speaker 2: more than attacked the Liberals, which tells me that Labour
0:51
Speaker 2: now thinks one Nation is its biggest threat. It's real opposition.
0:56
Speaker 2: And I find this amazing that Albanize should spend so
0:59
Speaker 2: much energy attacking a party that right now has just
1:04
Speaker 2: two seats in the House of Representatives. And these attacks
1:08
Speaker 2: on one Nation, most of them childish, most of them dishonest,
1:12
Speaker 2: started with Albanize's warm up act. In fact, sound Australian
1:15
Speaker 2: Premier Peter mananowskis who wants you to think that Pauline Hanson,
1:20
Speaker 2: who's been in politics for thirty years saying much the
1:23
Speaker 2: same kind of things and all that time, is really
1:26
Speaker 2: just copying more recent politicians overseas.
1:31
Speaker 3: The people of Australia don't need a cheap imitation of
1:36
Speaker 3: global populism. We need someone who gets things done. We
1:41
Speaker 3: need someone who brings this country together.
1:48
Speaker 2: Well, like the Prime Minister with his voice of the Parliament.
1:51
Speaker 2: I know it's nonsense, all that stuff, you know, like
1:53
Speaker 2: Manonous is also joking, not joking that one Nation MP
1:58
Speaker 2: Barnaby Joyce and his dog proved that one nation was
2:02
Speaker 2: unfit for government.
2:04
Speaker 3: If you can't govern your dog, you can't govern the country.
2:11
Speaker 2: You just got asked, is this how brainless? How politics
2:15
Speaker 2: has got or is it just labor? So in came
2:18
Speaker 2: alban easy, you know. After of course he narrowly survived
2:22
Speaker 2: an escalator which.
2:23
Speaker 1: Was as stop as the.
2:25
Speaker 2: Economy is under him, emerging in the hall like a
2:29
Speaker 2: man too small for the job of running this country.
2:32
Speaker 2: How but has he started his speech by again reminding
2:36
Speaker 2: us of his agenda to divide Australians by race.
2:40
Speaker 4: I begin by acknowledging the traditional owner's land on which
2:44
Speaker 4: we're meeting, and I pay my respect to the elder's past,
2:47
Speaker 4: present and emerging. And I also pay my respect to
2:51
Speaker 4: any First Nations people who are with us here today.
2:56
Speaker 2: Now, by the way, his genuflection there to Labour's division
3:01
Speaker 2: of Australians by race, came from a stage that likewise
3:05
Speaker 2: was dominated by three flags, and after the official welcome
3:10
Speaker 2: to country by a man identifying as Aboriginal and wearing
3:14
Speaker 2: three feathers.
3:15
Speaker 5: My name is Mickey O'Brien. My Aboriginal name is that
3:18
Speaker 5: of the impatient one, and I am six, born of
3:21
Speaker 5: seven children. My father Yelli Berker, the old man of
3:23
Speaker 5: the sea. Uncle Lewis O'Brien, the oldest living Garner person,
3:26
Speaker 5: and he is ninety six.
3:29
Speaker 2: Well, speaking of his father, here is his Aboriginal father,
3:35
Speaker 2: Lewis O'Brien, the Aboriginal son of an Englishman and a
3:41
Speaker 2: woman with some Aboriginal ancestry, it seems. But this is
3:45
Speaker 2: how Labor is pushing us on, this ridiculous division by race.
3:50
Speaker 2: Now wonder one nation is on the rise, and that
3:53
Speaker 2: is of course why alben easy today he got stuck
3:56
Speaker 2: into one nation, blasting Pauline Hansen for apparently not telling
4:01
Speaker 2: the world that Albanizi was doing a brilliant job runing
4:04
Speaker 2: this now divided country where living standards are also falling.
4:09
Speaker 4: All those attention seeking culture wars imported from overseas. All
4:15
Speaker 4: those trips around the world to talk Australia down cannot
4:21
Speaker 4: disguise the fact that none of them have anything new
4:26
Speaker 4: or anything positive to offer our country.
4:31
Speaker 2: Now, note already in the dishonesty that how uneasy cannot
4:36
Speaker 2: honestly say, kind of honestly tell us audience what one
4:39
Speaker 2: nation is really arguing, because then he'd have to reveal
4:44
Speaker 2: that labor has no answer to it. I mean culture wars,
4:48
Speaker 2: they're not important for a start, I mean, welcome to country.
4:52
Speaker 6: Now.
4:52
Speaker 2: That's Albinisi and labor, global warming, one nation's rejection of
4:58
Speaker 2: net zero policies. That's not a culture war. That's about economics,
5:03
Speaker 2: how labor is wasting hundreds of billions of dollars in
5:05
Speaker 2: de industrializing our nature for nothing, and one nation is
5:08
Speaker 2: saying no to massivemgress again, not a culture war. That's
5:13
Speaker 2: more an issue of economics. Again, and the fact that
5:17
Speaker 2: we're short of houses for the one and a half
5:19
Speaker 2: million people that Albanize has let in in just four years.
5:24
Speaker 2: And the one time that Albanize tried to mock a
5:26
Speaker 2: specific one nation policy that is about culture. Hanson calling
5:31
Speaker 2: for a public monoculture it was again too dishonest, or
5:35
Speaker 2: maybe just too dumb to understand or say what Hanson
5:40
Speaker 2: was actually arguing.
5:42
Speaker 4: Even the very first labor government was not a monoculture.
5:49
Speaker 4: There were Protestants and Catholics, English, Irish and Scots. One
5:56
Speaker 4: was an American pretending to be a Canadian, and no
6:01
Speaker 4: one was quite sure if the leader was born in
6:04
Speaker 4: New Zealand or Chile.
6:09
Speaker 2: I mean, that is just so pathetic and like I say, dishonest,
6:13
Speaker 2: as if Pauline Hanson doesn't know that Australians come from everywhere,
6:17
Speaker 2: given that Hanson herself married a Polish refugee, when her
6:22
Speaker 2: leader in South Australia is of Italian heritage, when her
6:26
Speaker 2: president in South Australia was born in Argentina, when her
6:31
Speaker 2: Victorian State secretary was born in Italy, where one Nation,
6:36
Speaker 2: Senator Malcolm Roberts he was born in India. Now, what
6:41
Speaker 2: Hanson has in fact said about monticulture is pretty simple,
6:45
Speaker 2: unless you're a simpleton. We all come originally from somewhere
6:49
Speaker 2: else and have our own cultures. But the government's job
6:52
Speaker 2: is to given all that unite us by promoting just one,
6:56
Speaker 2: the Australian one, with one law for all and just
7:00
Speaker 2: one flag as well. So really you see right there
7:04
Speaker 2: and that speech Albanies is struggling with one nation unable
7:07
Speaker 2: to honestly say why it's wrong to say that the
7:10
Speaker 2: role of governancy and artists culturally and not divideds to multiculturalism.
7:16
Speaker 2: And then came probably albani IS's biggest spray one nation,
7:20
Speaker 2: but the Liberals caught in the crossfire.
7:23
Speaker 4: And while you can go a long way in politics
7:26
Speaker 4: for a long time by raging against the system that
7:30
Speaker 4: you're part of without a plan to fix it, or
7:34
Speaker 4: blaming people who cannot defend themselves for a problem they
7:38
Speaker 4: did not cause, that doesn't build anything, It doesn't change anything.
7:45
Speaker 4: It doesn't take our country forward. It doesn't help anyone
7:48
Speaker 4: find a job, pay their bills, or put a roof
7:51
Speaker 4: over their head. This has always been the fundamental contrast
7:56
Speaker 4: between labor and all our political opponents, and never more
8:01
Speaker 4: so than now, because beyond one nation's personality clashes, policy confusion,
8:08
Speaker 4: conspiracy theories and candidate chaos, and regardless of who leads
8:14
Speaker 4: the Liberals to the next election, in every way that matters,
8:19
Speaker 4: the Liberals, Nationals and One Nation are already a coalition.
8:25
Speaker 4: It's not just that they need each other to form government.
8:30
Speaker 7: They agree with each other.
8:34
Speaker 2: That was his best shot and unfair. Here. I let
8:37
Speaker 2: it run and run so you could see what is
8:39
Speaker 2: God and what is God? Is nothing that one nation
8:43
Speaker 2: doesn't have solutions for the problem assing explaining the week
8:48
Speaker 2: and assuming means margrants for everything. Now, it is true
8:53
Speaker 2: that one nation is light on solutions so far, But
8:57
Speaker 2: it is also true that has already got quite a few.
8:59
Speaker 2: Policy is out there already, even if it hasn't said
9:03
Speaker 2: how it will quite pay for them. It's got a
9:05
Speaker 2: policy and an immigration, it's got a policy of multiculturalism,
9:08
Speaker 2: and its zero on defense, and orcus and income splitting
9:11
Speaker 2: it on the flag, and so on and on, and
9:14
Speaker 2: go to the website check for yourself. Now, I agree,
9:17
Speaker 2: not enough policies yet, and not enough costings, absolutely labor
9:22
Speaker 2: though of course it's got policies up the wazoo. So
9:28
Speaker 2: many policies. And how's that working out for you? Your
9:33
Speaker 2: living standards are down, your house prices they're crashing, Inflation
9:38
Speaker 2: is up, interest rates are up, A debt is reaching
9:41
Speaker 2: a trillion dollars. Our military is weak, the one our country.
9:44
Speaker 1: Is now divided.
9:48
Speaker 2: I don't judge politicians by the paths of paper, the
9:50
Speaker 2: written on policy. I don't judge by the paper, but
9:54
Speaker 2: the performance and this government's performance has been shocking and
9:58
Speaker 2: that's what's of course, helped to create one nation, and
10:02
Speaker 2: that's why Albinizi today was freaking. But if he has
10:06
Speaker 2: got a good argument against one nation, is sure wasn't
10:10
Speaker 2: in his speech today. Now, the obsession with one nation
10:18
Speaker 2: of Labor conference was at times insane.
10:22
Speaker 3: For years one Nation has voted with the coalition against
10:25
Speaker 3: key protections for workers.
10:29
Speaker 2: I mean it was like labor needed one nation to
10:32
Speaker 2: feed their hate.
10:33
Speaker 4: One nation, one nation, one nation, one nation, one nation,
10:37
Speaker 4: one nation, one nation, one nation, one nation.
10:40
Speaker 2: One notion, one notion, one nation, one notion. But I
10:44
Speaker 2: reckon this next speaker really took the cake, actually claiming
10:47
Speaker 2: that one nation was against people speaking their own languages
10:50
Speaker 2: at home and Labor had to vote to stop, which
10:53
Speaker 2: it did.
10:54
Speaker 8: One of the things that we have in this motion
10:58
Speaker 8: is to support a multi lingual Australia because contrary to
11:05
Speaker 8: the beliefs of the leader of One Nation, it is
11:09
Speaker 8: actually a thing we should be proud of that we
11:12
Speaker 8: have people who speak other languages at home, who can
11:15
Speaker 8: communicate with the rest of the world in their language.
11:23
Speaker 2: I am pretty confident I'm not going to upset Pauline
11:25
Speaker 2: Hanson by saying that, as I say at home about
11:29
Speaker 2: lives like that, who'll storm mutchizain on dopta Kolova in Dutch?
11:36
Speaker 1: That is how dumb do.
11:37
Speaker 2: You have to be to believe that? And normally on
11:41
Speaker 2: a Thursday, my regular commentator is Barnaby Joyce, but it's
11:44
Speaker 2: off for most of the next few weeks. And I thought, Wow,
11:47
Speaker 2: with all this freaking about one nation, and as you heard,
11:50
Speaker 2: you know Albany's infulminating about the candidates, Let's see who
11:54
Speaker 2: else they've actually got. What monsters are lurking there behind
11:57
Speaker 2: Hansen and Barnaby with their eves plans. So let's have
12:02
Speaker 2: a look now at one Nation. Senator Tyrann written now,
12:06
Speaker 2: Tyren Witton, thank you so very much for your time.
12:09
Speaker 2: I hope I didn't offend you by speaking a bit
12:10
Speaker 2: of Dutch there. Please tell me that that is allowed
12:13
Speaker 2: under One Nation.
12:15
Speaker 7: Absolutely it's allowed.
12:16
Speaker 9: I mean my son married into a family of Italians
12:21
Speaker 9: and I aim a grandson saying Italian words and it
12:25
Speaker 9: makes me proud.
12:26
Speaker 7: But yeah, absolutely.
12:27
Speaker 9: Speak whatever language you want, but you will speak Australian
12:31
Speaker 9: if you're going to live in Australia your home.
12:35
Speaker 2: Well that's what we're speaking in right now, English, right now.
12:38
Speaker 2: I don't want to turn this into a promo for you, okay,
12:41
Speaker 2: So I'll ask you tough ones id to balance it
12:43
Speaker 2: all up. But I want viewers to know where one
12:45
Speaker 2: nation gets his people from.
12:47
Speaker 1: Now.
12:47
Speaker 2: You had a great grandfather who has made deaf and
12:50
Speaker 2: blind in an industrial accident. You had a grandfather who
12:54
Speaker 2: raised four children as a single father, and his wife
12:56
Speaker 2: died earlier. And you yourself worked in construction and oyster farming.
13:02
Speaker 2: You actually did pretty well for yourself, didn't you.
13:06
Speaker 1: Yeah.
13:07
Speaker 7: I mean I wasn't born into money.
13:09
Speaker 9: My brother and I started our construction business many years ago.
13:12
Speaker 9: It was him a wheelbarrow and a ute and a
13:15
Speaker 9: lot of drive, a lot of passion, and we grew
13:18
Speaker 9: that business to employing over a thousand people. And you know,
13:23
Speaker 9: there was all the usual things along the way. There
13:25
Speaker 9: was a lot of late nights, blood, sweat and tears.
13:30
Speaker 9: We skin our knees many times, a lot of scar tissue.
13:34
Speaker 9: But it taught me a lot about how the world
13:37
Speaker 9: really works, and that's the background that I come from
13:39
Speaker 9: and that's the experience I bring to the party in
13:42
Speaker 9: the parliament.
13:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't.
13:46
Speaker 1: I don't think a single.
13:48
Speaker 2: Member of the Labor Cabinet has ever run a business
13:51
Speaker 2: of any kind, a little grown one to that size.
13:55
Speaker 2: Now you've heard Labor there and it's national conference attacking
13:59
Speaker 2: your part is it's just about outrage. It's got no solutions,
14:03
Speaker 2: it's just about beating up immigrants. It's just copying Donald
14:07
Speaker 2: Trump and other foreigners. Your response, well, g.
14:12
Speaker 9: We're occupying a lot of time in their heads, aren't we.
14:14
Speaker 9: I mean, if you took out all the one nation
14:17
Speaker 9: talk there, that would have gone for twenty minutes, you know.
14:20
Speaker 9: And this talk about copying Donald Trump Pauline has been
14:23
Speaker 9: around for thirty years. Donald Trump's a new phenomenon.
14:27
Speaker 4: You know.
14:28
Speaker 9: You could almost argue he is copying Pauline. So the outrage, yes,
14:32
Speaker 9: there's outrage.
14:33
Speaker 7: In the community. We hear it all the time.
14:36
Speaker 9: People are so fed up with this Labor government and
14:39
Speaker 9: the things they do and don't do. They've lost sight
14:42
Speaker 9: of where they were from and the people are feeling it.
14:45
Speaker 9: And that's why our popularity is rising.
14:47
Speaker 7: It's soaring.
14:50
Speaker 2: Now you've also seen journalists attacking recent stumblespoke one nation,
14:55
Speaker 2: if that's what they are, I mean, and I'll put
14:58
Speaker 2: up in my hand. I thought that Pauling Hanson's should
15:00
Speaker 2: have been making speeches explaining her idea of them on
15:03
Speaker 2: a culture to stop the laws being told about it.
15:05
Speaker 1: She didn't.
15:06
Speaker 2: I thought she made a big mistake talking to convict
15:08
Speaker 2: the thug Tommy Robinson. I think Malcolm Robinson's conspiracy theories
15:12
Speaker 2: and putin admiration of cuckoo, and also last night said
15:16
Speaker 2: that Pauline Hansen spoke very clumsily about domestic violence. Are
15:20
Speaker 2: you frustrated by any of these unforced thearers.
15:27
Speaker 7: Not at all.
15:27
Speaker 9: I mean, you know, we're a small party and we're
15:31
Speaker 9: trying hard.
15:32
Speaker 7: What we won't do is not answer the questions.
15:35
Speaker 9: So we're happy to answer the tough questions.
15:38
Speaker 7: We're happy to talk about the tough topics.
15:40
Speaker 9: And inevitably, along that path, you know there'll be a
15:43
Speaker 9: couple of little stumbles. But I think the majority of
15:46
Speaker 9: people out there when we make these let's call them errors,
15:50
Speaker 9: might understand what we're trying to say. They understand where
15:54
Speaker 9: we're coming from, where real people like them, we're not
15:57
Speaker 9: perfect who is but we will always answer the tough
16:01
Speaker 9: questions and not back away from the tough conversations.
16:06
Speaker 2: Now, you walked away from a very successful business to
16:10
Speaker 2: be in politics. Why is it that you most want
16:14
Speaker 2: one nation to get done? If you do get lucky
16:17
Speaker 2: in the next election. What did you come into the
16:20
Speaker 2: party to actually do.
16:24
Speaker 6: Well?
16:25
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'd left the business well before my thoughts turned
16:29
Speaker 9: to politics. I used to say to my children, you know,
16:32
Speaker 9: don't complain about something, do something about it. So that's
16:35
Speaker 9: how I got here. And yeah, I think it's no
16:39
Speaker 9: secret of some of the things that we want to
16:40
Speaker 9: achieve if we get anywhere close to power, with reducing
16:44
Speaker 9: MASSI immigration, getting rid of the climate change, getting out
16:48
Speaker 9: of the Paris Agreement. I mean we've broken records saying
16:51
Speaker 9: them a thousand times.
16:52
Speaker 7: People know what we were here to do.
16:54
Speaker 9: But we're fighting for Australia and Australians and every decision
16:59
Speaker 9: we make, every bill we vote on, gets put through
17:02
Speaker 9: a filter.
17:03
Speaker 7: Is this good for.
17:04
Speaker 9: Australia and Australians. And that's how I see the world.
17:07
Speaker 9: That's what we will be fighting for.
17:11
Speaker 2: But you personally tarran when you thought, you know, cracking
17:15
Speaker 2: I'm going to Canberra. What was it you thought, this
17:19
Speaker 2: is what I want to do when I leave politics.
17:21
Speaker 2: I'd like this to at least this one thing to
17:24
Speaker 2: have been done well.
17:28
Speaker 9: I want the country to better than when I got here,
17:31
Speaker 9: which is going to be a tough gig at the moment.
17:34
Speaker 9: You look at all the decisions and things that Labor's introducing.
17:39
Speaker 9: We've got a long road ahead of us, a big challenge.
17:42
Speaker 9: But yeah, I'll be damned if I leave this place
17:45
Speaker 9: worse than the way I found it.
17:46
Speaker 7: For my children, ever, everyone's children.
17:51
Speaker 2: Tarran, we didn't thank you so much for your time.
17:53
Speaker 1: Appreciate it.
17:54
Speaker 2: After the break Labor inside of Cameron Milner on the
17:57
Speaker 2: real story behind Labour's national conference Zone don't think it's
18:00
Speaker 2: good and today's unemployment effix. I tell you what they do,
18:04
Speaker 2: show that one state is ruining it for everyone else. Okay,
18:12
Speaker 2: I'm showing you the Prime minis suspeech today Labour's National
18:14
Speaker 2: Conference in the obsession with paul In Hansen.
18:18
Speaker 1: But there was something else.
18:20
Speaker 2: If you look at why so many Australians are doing
18:23
Speaker 2: it so tough right now, something's really leap out, Like
18:27
Speaker 2: businesses tied down with green with a red tape green
18:30
Speaker 2: tape too. Productivity down the toilet are making it so
18:35
Speaker 2: hard to create more wealth, which is what we need,
18:38
Speaker 2: more wealth.
18:38
Speaker 1: I mean, you just compare Australia's.
18:40
Speaker 2: Per capita growth after inflation under this government company's a
18:45
Speaker 2: government on the right of the screen, compared to all
18:48
Speaker 2: the previous governments. I mean, it's just terrible, terrible, and
18:53
Speaker 2: that of course explains why people are getting poorer now,
18:56
Speaker 2: given that the need to get more productive, so there's
19:01
Speaker 2: a bigger pie to share it with so many more
19:03
Speaker 2: people too. What then, were the big new policy reveals
19:07
Speaker 2: in Albaneze's speech today? Nothing flat, nothing about growing that pie,
19:16
Speaker 2: he said, Yet a vague assurance to help unions restrict
19:19
Speaker 2: the use of AI in business, plus the creation of
19:22
Speaker 2: another bureaucracy, more spending not just on practical experience for
19:27
Speaker 2: health professions, but that bureaucracy is another way for workers
19:31
Speaker 2: claiming to be underpaid to take their bosses to court.
19:36
Speaker 4: But simply don't have the time or the resources to
19:39
Speaker 4: navigate the legal system, or are told their case will
19:43
Speaker 4: take months even years to resolve and cost the more
19:46
Speaker 4: than their claimer's worth. Now that's just wrong and we're
19:51
Speaker 4: going to fix it. Today I announced that our government
19:55
Speaker 4: will create the Fair Work Court.
20:00
Speaker 2: There you go. Yet another court. Joining me is long
20:02
Speaker 2: term labor man Cameron Milner, former chief of staff to
20:05
Speaker 2: Labor leader Bill Short, and our director of g XO Strategies. Cameron,
20:10
Speaker 2: thank you for your time. Look this national conference, it
20:13
Speaker 2: goes for three days. You've been a few of them yourself.
20:16
Speaker 2: What strapped you most on day one?
20:20
Speaker 10: Well, it's a stale imitation of labor conferences past. I mean,
20:24
Speaker 10: labor used to be about ideas and debates and contests
20:27
Speaker 10: of ideas, rather than looking like a pale imitation of
20:31
Speaker 10: the Prime Minister, you know, insipid and about a shallow
20:33
Speaker 10: an upturned dish.
20:34
Speaker 2: I mean, this is the problem. Is that is it?
20:36
Speaker 10: Labor didn't have anything to say today. I mean a
20:39
Speaker 10: shopping list of spending is not an ideas, it's not
20:42
Speaker 10: a platform. So what's what filled the space? Pauline Hanson
20:45
Speaker 10: filled the space. Pauline Hanson is living rent free in
20:48
Speaker 10: Alberize's head. They're panicked by her presence, They're panicked by
20:51
Speaker 10: the fact that they're actually being confronted by an opponent
20:54
Speaker 10: who actually has to your point, earlier, has been around
20:56
Speaker 10: for three decades. Is Prin has got some ideas and
21:00
Speaker 10: wants to see Australia heading a different direction. And it's
21:02
Speaker 10: challenging Labor and Albanese and the government even with ninety
21:06
Speaker 10: four seats.
21:09
Speaker 2: Let me let me wonder, Cameron, whether there's some you know,
21:14
Speaker 2: little main game played here, like focusing on one nation.
21:19
Speaker 1: Is there another agenda here?
21:20
Speaker 2: Like does it say is it a way of saying
21:23
Speaker 2: the liberals don't count as a way of diminishing the liberals?
21:26
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that. Is it also a.
21:28
Speaker 2: Way of fury, you know, creating fury and passion in
21:32
Speaker 2: the labor ranks to get them you know, active and
21:35
Speaker 2: doing something.
21:36
Speaker 1: Is it a hate session?
21:38
Speaker 2: I don't you know? Is one nation a threat or
21:40
Speaker 2: is it a tool for for the for the Labor Party? Well,
21:46
Speaker 2: it'll be a threat in time.
21:47
Speaker 10: Right now, the polls say that a vote for Pauline
21:49
Speaker 10: is actually a vote for Albanese. Albanies will actually get
21:51
Speaker 10: returned with a smaller majority. But if you're a dave
21:54
Speaker 10: at the Carbrook golf Club watching tonight's news, you know,
21:57
Speaker 10: you know, looking at what the ILP national conference.
21:59
Speaker 2: Is about, was about labor ideas.
22:01
Speaker 10: Was it about labor policy, agenda or a platform for
22:03
Speaker 10: the future. It was about Paul enhanced and one nation.
22:06
Speaker 10: Speaker after speaker after speaker, you know, mentioning one nation.
22:09
Speaker 10: I mean it was pathetic entry. I mean, this is
22:11
Speaker 10: the Labor Party conference. They're talking about one nation.
22:16
Speaker 2: Now. The economic policies, such as they were, there was
22:19
Speaker 2: absolutely nothing about improving productivity and growth right and it
22:24
Speaker 2: was everything, if there was anything at all, is about
22:26
Speaker 2: how to grow, you know, grab more of a shrinking pie,
22:29
Speaker 2: you know your bit, especially in new tax people demanding
22:34
Speaker 2: a new tax on gas exports. But the Treasurer did
22:37
Speaker 2: today refuse to you know, he did refuse to rule
22:40
Speaker 2: out this twenty five percent tax on gas exports beyond
22:44
Speaker 2: the short term.
22:45
Speaker 1: Have listened.
22:47
Speaker 2: That is not on the government's agenda. We're focused like
22:50
Speaker 2: how the next election money, well, not for the foreseeable future.
22:54
Speaker 10: So the reason why that is not on the government's
22:56
Speaker 10: agenda is because we've got other more pressing, more important Thanks.
22:59
Speaker 2: To honestly Cameron, you he should be saying, look, do
23:04
Speaker 2: we are you crazy? We wanted to kill the gas
23:07
Speaker 2: industry and gas investment here, but no, it's we might
23:11
Speaker 2: do it later, and given what happened to capital gain
23:13
Speaker 2: snacks promises, it may well do somethly. It seems to
23:17
Speaker 2: be all about spashion grab.
23:20
Speaker 10: It is, And it's all tax and spend, isn't And
23:22
Speaker 10: there's no there's no pride in actually having a balanced budget.
23:25
Speaker 10: There's no pride in paying down our national debt any longer.
23:27
Speaker 10: In labor, I mean, you know, Keating would be rolling
23:29
Speaker 10: in his grave and others in the previously, you know,
23:32
Speaker 10: I mean this, labor used to be good economic managers
23:35
Speaker 10: in my view, like this, you know, it's been trashed
23:37
Speaker 10: since Swan and Chalmers hasn't done any better. And and
23:40
Speaker 10: now it is to your point, it's all tax and grab.
23:43
Speaker 10: It's it's there's no responsibility being taken. And to your point,
23:46
Speaker 10: goodness sake, let's get back to being a productive nation.
23:48
Speaker 10: Let's get back to making some things, you know, sensibly
23:51
Speaker 10: and actually drive wages up because we're good at what
23:53
Speaker 10: we're doing, not just because we're being given government debt
23:56
Speaker 10: and government handouts.
23:59
Speaker 2: Yeah, well it's not the hawk government, I have to say,
24:03
Speaker 2: the hawk labor government.
24:04
Speaker 1: In fact.
24:04
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, I think we got a warning about where this
24:07
Speaker 2: hard left kind of politics lead, like I say, the
24:09
Speaker 2: sort of smash and grab or tax and spend. Today's
24:13
Speaker 2: ABS figures show the unemployment rate nationally was steady at
24:17
Speaker 2: four point four percent.
24:19
Speaker 1: But look where the big trouble is.
24:21
Speaker 2: It's in Victoria under the criminally incompetent state government there
24:27
Speaker 2: with the biggest debt of any state government in the country.
24:30
Speaker 2: Unemployment they're rising to above five percent, way more than
24:36
Speaker 2: any other state. Now, Cameron, in labor circles, is Victoria
24:41
Speaker 2: now being discussed as a warning to the left against
24:46
Speaker 2: wishing what has actually been destroying Victoria?
24:52
Speaker 10: Well, I mean the big bills ended up in big debt,
24:54
Speaker 10: hasn't it. I mean, and this is the problem is
24:55
Speaker 10: that is that Victoria is an object lesson in not
24:58
Speaker 10: what to do.
24:59
Speaker 2: I mean, look at Malan asks, look at Chris Mins.
25:01
Speaker 10: They are true labor premiers with a labor right agenda,
25:04
Speaker 10: in a moderate labor agenda compared to the hard left
25:06
Speaker 10: agenda we've seen in Victoria.
25:08
Speaker 2: And look where the polls are. People are actually supporting Allen.
25:10
Speaker 10: Ascus, They'll re elect Mens, and Allen is on the
25:12
Speaker 10: ropes in Victoria.
25:13
Speaker 2: So to your point, yes, I mean the.
25:15
Speaker 10: Hard left policies lead to harder debt and harder problems
25:18
Speaker 10: for the community and economy.
25:20
Speaker 2: That doesn't work. Cameron Milner, thank you very much for
25:25
Speaker 2: your time speaking of just cent around the premier in Victoria.
25:29
Speaker 2: There is now talk that her allies are dropping her.
25:34
Speaker 2: There's even discussions in the national conference behind the scenes. Wow.
25:41
Speaker 2: I hope that voters get a chance to say exactly
25:44
Speaker 2: what they've thought of her. Shocking mismanagement of the state,
25:50
Speaker 2: astonishing mismanagement. After the break a shock in Ukraine in
25:54
Speaker 2: the middle of its war for survival, the President sacks
25:57
Speaker 2: both the Defense Minister and the commander in chief of
26:01
Speaker 2: the military, General Jack Keene. And what this means for
26:04
Speaker 2: the war, how armies will fight in the future. There
26:12
Speaker 2: are two big wars going on right now that are
26:14
Speaker 2: teaching the world how to fight or how not. They
26:18
Speaker 2: are deciding our future. So we've got to learn. I
26:21
Speaker 2: hope our generals are watching. And both these wars, it's
26:26
Speaker 2: not just the war in Iran, but the one in Ukraine,
26:29
Speaker 2: have just gone bad for the West, or so it
26:32
Speaker 2: seems now. Ukraine is the most dramatic development. But let
26:35
Speaker 2: me quickly deal with the war in Iran first. That's
26:38
Speaker 2: teaching us, of course, that even the world's greatest superpower
26:41
Speaker 2: with the most advanced weapons ever seen, cannot conquer even
26:46
Speaker 2: a country as relatively weak as Iran just by bombing
26:50
Speaker 2: it from the air or blockading it with ships. The
26:54
Speaker 2: US has just completed its twelfth straight day of bombing
26:57
Speaker 2: in Iran, but Iran's allies in Yemen just attack two
27:00
Speaker 2: more ships in the Red Sea on the other side
27:02
Speaker 2: of the Saudi Peninsula, leaving Donald Trump to issue blood
27:05
Speaker 2: curdling threats posting this. From this point forward, anytime the
27:10
Speaker 2: Islamic Republic of around shoots of the ship it straighted
27:13
Speaker 2: for moves, whether it would be by missile, rock and drone,
27:15
Speaker 2: or any other device or weapon, the United States will
27:18
Speaker 2: bomb and destroy one brine or power plant, including those
27:22
Speaker 2: located next to or in the capital city of Tehran. Well,
27:28
Speaker 2: you don't need to threaten if you're actually doing the job.
27:30
Speaker 2: So it tells you something about the power of asymmetric
27:33
Speaker 2: warfare these days, and of course, the fear of the
27:36
Speaker 2: West of losing even a single soldier. It tells you
27:41
Speaker 2: something that a rebel terrorist army like the Houties can
27:45
Speaker 2: then help push back against the US and its Saudi
27:49
Speaker 2: Arabian ally.
27:51
Speaker 11: Not for that, the armed forces will continue their naval
27:55
Speaker 11: operations against the Saudi enemy and will persist in enforcing
28:00
Speaker 11: a siege for a siege equation.
28:06
Speaker 2: Those hooties in particularly that spokesman, they love shouting at people.
28:10
Speaker 2: There's something in their culture there. Now, this is already
28:13
Speaker 2: one lesson there. Okay, you do not commit to a
28:16
Speaker 2: war if you don't think it's worth the life of
28:20
Speaker 2: your soldiers. High tech a loan bombing from a high
28:23
Speaker 2: altitude is not going to win you territory. Lesson. But
28:29
Speaker 2: in Ukraine huge developments. President Vladimir Zelensky last week shocked
28:35
Speaker 2: Ukrainians by firing his brilliant young defense minister, thirty five
28:40
Speaker 2: year old Mikhailo Federov, the man in the middle there
28:43
Speaker 2: next to Zelenski. Now, Federov was clashing with the head
28:46
Speaker 2: of Ukraine's military, the Russian trained Alexander t Sevski, who
28:50
Speaker 2: was a very tough man, but Russian born and with
28:53
Speaker 2: a reputation of being a Russian style authoritarian military leader.
28:58
Speaker 2: He was trained in Russia's not being careful enough with
29:03
Speaker 2: the lives of his troops, for instance, hogging the decision
29:06
Speaker 2: making and he's the firing of the Defense Minister in
29:11
Speaker 2: the favor of len of Sirski, who was clashing with him.
29:15
Speaker 2: That's caused huge protests against Zelenski, who was accused.
29:19
Speaker 1: Of just getting rid of a young rival.
29:22
Speaker 2: And Zelenski's now folded and fired Sirski as well. Incredible.
29:29
Speaker 2: That said, he's replaced a b with a brilliant young general,
29:32
Speaker 2: Mikhaelo Drapatyi, who has been famous ever since a decade
29:36
Speaker 2: ago he crashed his armored vehicle over a barricade put
29:40
Speaker 2: up by pro Russian militias to save trapped Ukrainian police.
29:44
Speaker 2: Is that kind of daring to kind of guy make decisions,
29:48
Speaker 2: take responsibility? So what does this actually mean for how
29:52
Speaker 2: we fight or should well? The reason the sacked Defense
29:56
Speaker 2: Minister was so popular was that he embraced the new technology.
30:00
Speaker 2: He got, for instance, el Musk to turn off his
30:03
Speaker 2: starling satellites used by Russian soldiers, helping to blind them
30:08
Speaker 2: to developments on the battlefield like the drone warfare. It's
30:11
Speaker 2: been a huge success. He also pushed more democratic decision
30:16
Speaker 2: making by soldiers down the line of command, including by
30:20
Speaker 2: giving units points for every kill points that they could
30:23
Speaker 2: then use in a kind of Amazon site that could
30:26
Speaker 2: spend them there to order exactly the right kind of
30:28
Speaker 2: drones of weapons they wanted for the particular targets they faced.
30:34
Speaker 2: That's the kind of democratic decision making that was against
30:38
Speaker 2: the training and the character of the now sacked commander
30:41
Speaker 2: in chief went along with it a bit, but he
30:43
Speaker 2: didn't like a lot of it. The new commander, now,
30:46
Speaker 2: let's replaced them, very different. He is embracing this new
30:49
Speaker 2: kind of warfighting. And like I say, I do hope
30:53
Speaker 2: Australia's generals are watching events over there. I spoke earlier
30:57
Speaker 2: to General Jack Keane, former Vice chiefs Staff of the
31:00
Speaker 2: United States Army, is now chairman of the Institute for
31:04
Speaker 2: the Study of War, General Jack Kane, what a pleasure
31:07
Speaker 2: to see you again. Look Ukraine. Now, on the surface
31:11
Speaker 2: of it, the president firing both is defense Minister and
31:15
Speaker 2: the commander in chief, I mean the Russian millibloggers. They're celebrating.
31:20
Speaker 2: This is great for Russia. It looks bad, is it?
31:26
Speaker 1: You know, yes or no?
31:27
Speaker 6: And I don't mean to equivocate here, but first of all,
31:30
Speaker 6: in firing the Minister of Defense, Federal Off who's in
31:35
Speaker 6: his mid thirties, very imaginative, creative, and he was really
31:40
Speaker 6: rocking the defense establishment, just not only in terms of
31:45
Speaker 6: really forcing technology to get done quicker, much more imaginative
31:50
Speaker 6: use of that technology, but forcing the generals who grew
31:55
Speaker 6: up in the Russian system, in the Russian education system
32:00
Speaker 6: were considerably more conservative, and particularly the head of the
32:07
Speaker 6: Ukraine military as Serski, and they were at odds because
32:13
Speaker 6: they were completely different. Serski was pushing back. He much
32:17
Speaker 6: more wrote, much more dogmatic, much more deliberate, and Federoff
32:22
Speaker 6: I wanted to move faster and crew be much more
32:26
Speaker 6: adaptive to what Russia was doing on the battlefield. And
32:30
Speaker 6: Zelenski took Sirski's side on that and removed Federoff, and
32:36
Speaker 6: that caused a huge upswell inside the country, and I
32:41
Speaker 6: must say even amongst some allies, and I had an
32:44
Speaker 6: opportunity to register my own opinion. I do have access
32:48
Speaker 6: to the President's office and also to the people around him,
32:52
Speaker 6: and I thought it was a huge mistake. And then
32:57
Speaker 6: he recovered from that by picking the most imaginative general
33:01
Speaker 6: to takes Showski's place. So everybody is applauding the new
33:06
Speaker 6: military head, but also whish that Federoff was still there.
33:10
Speaker 6: He offered feder Off another position in the government, but
33:14
Speaker 6: he declined it because he wanted to be to go
33:18
Speaker 6: back in the job as Minister of Defense. So yes,
33:21
Speaker 6: good decision and new military had bad decision in removing
33:26
Speaker 6: the Minister of Defense.
33:28
Speaker 2: Well, there's not a permanent replacement yet announced as an
33:32
Speaker 2: interim one, so who knows Fetteran might come back. But
33:35
Speaker 2: I have to say, what a contrast with Russia. Do
33:38
Speaker 2: you really think that Russians would have allowed protests in
33:41
Speaker 2: the streets like that and then change Putin changes his
33:44
Speaker 2: mind as a consequence.
33:46
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. I think the idea that you know in.
33:49
Speaker 2: Some parts of America that oh, this is Zelenski, he
33:53
Speaker 2: is a dictator. We see here that essentially there's a
33:57
Speaker 2: new democratic spirit in Ukraine, and I think that it
34:00
Speaker 2: is great. But this really is about the future of
34:02
Speaker 2: warfare is and it I mean, for me, we have
34:05
Speaker 2: got to learn from Ukraine about how a democracy wins
34:10
Speaker 2: by fighting democratically, pushing the decision making down the chain
34:14
Speaker 2: of command, data driven, let people decide how best to
34:18
Speaker 2: fight the units that are out in the field. In
34:21
Speaker 2: a way, it's the model for our own sas really
34:24
Speaker 2: not a regular army, but the sas, the units themselves
34:28
Speaker 2: sort of decide their weapons and how to do it.
34:31
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's no doubt about that. The Ukrainians have clearly
34:35
Speaker 6: have a very strong chain of command, and they're very
34:38
Speaker 6: good at the tactical level of war. And they're clearly
34:43
Speaker 6: remarkable and hats off to their defense industry that they
34:47
Speaker 6: have built and how fast they can get technology into
34:52
Speaker 6: the hands of their troops. It's nothing short or remarkable
34:56
Speaker 6: on a given day, so our audience can appreciate. On
34:59
Speaker 6: a single given day in Ukraine, the Ukrainians have up
35:03
Speaker 6: in the air ten thousand drones in one day, and
35:08
Speaker 6: we don't have ten thousand drones in the total United
35:11
Speaker 6: States Army. And we're trying to move in that direction
35:13
Speaker 6: and get our defense industry moving, which is considerably more
35:17
Speaker 6: challenging than what Ukraine is doing.
35:19
Speaker 2: And believe me, this.
35:20
Speaker 6: Year, Ukraine will manufacture by the end of the year
35:24
Speaker 6: eight million drones. And these are drones, not just air
35:28
Speaker 6: drones that we see and dominate, but unmanned ground vehicles.
35:34
Speaker 6: They accomplish something never done in warfare. They pushed Russians
35:38
Speaker 6: off a position that were being defended by humans and
35:42
Speaker 6: they pushed them off to the position with no humans
35:45
Speaker 6: in the fight. First time in warfare. We are likely
35:49
Speaker 6: going to see a chapter and verse coming, not just
35:53
Speaker 6: in Ukraine, but in other countries as a result of
35:56
Speaker 6: what the Ukrainian's are proven. And then at sea they
35:59
Speaker 6: have defeated the Black Sea Navy of Russia. And they
36:04
Speaker 6: don't own a navy themselves.
36:05
Speaker 1: They did it but with.
36:06
Speaker 6: Surface drones, aerial drones and sub surface drones.
36:13
Speaker 1: Quite remarkable.
36:15
Speaker 2: It is extraordinary. It is extraordinary. Now Iran, which is
36:22
Speaker 2: a very different war. I mean America is fighting at
36:24
Speaker 2: high tech from the air, no boots on the ground.
36:28
Speaker 2: When I say high tech, I mean big tech. Not
36:31
Speaker 2: so much of the drones, although that's coming now You've
36:34
Speaker 2: now got sea drones. There are a few of them
36:37
Speaker 2: in the straitup for Moorz. Why hasn't the US, though,
36:41
Speaker 2: launched a full scale attack on Iran? Why only limited
36:45
Speaker 2: bombing twelve days of it? Why not go all in?
36:48
Speaker 6: I do believe Andrew, that we are on a definite
36:52
Speaker 6: path to return to major combat operations that would involve
36:57
Speaker 6: Israel and the United States. I think that is the
37:00
Speaker 6: path we're on. Is there's some negotiations that the Iranians
37:05
Speaker 6: want to do here. Of course they want to negotiate.
37:09
Speaker 6: Why now they want to negotiate because they want to
37:11
Speaker 6: stop the United States from imposing their will by firing
37:15
Speaker 6: on them and taking away their military capabilities. They want
37:20
Speaker 6: to stop that, as they did successfully back on April
37:24
Speaker 6: seventh and April of the eighth. They want to replay that.
37:27
Speaker 6: I don't believe that's going to happen. Pakistanis and Guitaris
37:30
Speaker 6: are supporting in on that, but I don't think that's
37:33
Speaker 6: where the President is and his team around them. I
37:36
Speaker 6: believe where they are frustrated. They want to get the
37:40
Speaker 6: straighttion of moves eventually open and also return to major
37:45
Speaker 6: combat operations and finish what they started out to do
37:49
Speaker 6: in terms of assigned military objectives economic pressure. To be sure,
37:53
Speaker 6: Secretary Treasury has put the sanctions back on.
37:56
Speaker 2: It's good news.
37:57
Speaker 6: We got a naval blockade going as well, and that's
38:00
Speaker 6: also good news. But the military pressure and economic pressure
38:05
Speaker 6: is essential. I also believe that we need to use
38:09
Speaker 6: the CIA and the Masade to undermine the regime and
38:13
Speaker 6: also to assist the Iranian people in their resistance. I
38:17
Speaker 6: think that is a major objective. We've had some success
38:20
Speaker 6: at doing this in the past in our history. The
38:23
Speaker 6: Massad has got incredible contacts inside of Iran and I
38:30
Speaker 6: think we should be about that business as well well.
38:34
Speaker 2: So some boots on the ground, but that may be
38:36
Speaker 2: you know, sneakers, slippers, something soft and they're silent on
38:41
Speaker 2: the ground. I think Mo Sad will be all over Iran.
38:44
Speaker 2: I mean, their penetration has been unbelievable. General Jack King,
38:48
Speaker 2: thank you so much indeed for your time. Yeah.
38:52
Speaker 1: Great talking to Andrew, thank you very much.
38:56
Speaker 2: As to break, don't till dj Elbert, Britain's new prime
39:00
Speaker 2: Minister's first big call is cheaper beer and cheaper duftuff.
39:11
Speaker 2: You know, Britain's also in the stook really so to me,
39:14
Speaker 2: it's extraordinary the Britain's new Prome minister comes in takes
39:17
Speaker 2: over it without an election. By the way, you know,
39:20
Speaker 2: these are the new prime minister, the seventh in Britain
39:22
Speaker 2: in ten years, and just the first thing he announces,
39:26
Speaker 2: almost the very first big decision he announces to get
39:30
Speaker 2: Britain back on his feet or Flattner's back. Andy Burnham
39:35
Speaker 2: has said twenty percent cut to the business rates that
39:39
Speaker 2: are charged to pubs, clubs and live music venues only
39:42
Speaker 2: to them, so you know, cheaper beer and cheaper duf duff.
39:48
Speaker 2: This is going to put the great back into Britain.
39:50
Speaker 2: Joining me from London is gb News star presenter Patrick
39:55
Speaker 2: Christie's Patrick, great to see you again. I was thinking
39:58
Speaker 2: I shouldn't actually publicize this because you might just give
40:00
Speaker 2: a anthony, have an easy inspiration for get another hand
40:04
Speaker 2: out that does nothing for productivity.
40:06
Speaker 1: But how does this one make Britain more.
40:08
Speaker 2: Competitive, you know, richer earning its way back again to
40:12
Speaker 2: you know, be great.
40:15
Speaker 12: Well, it doesn't, unfortunately, Andrew, as you're correctly identified. So far,
40:19
Speaker 12: we have had a VAT cut on energy bills that
40:22
Speaker 12: is unfunded. We've got a two pound bus fare cap
40:25
Speaker 12: that is largely unfunded, twenty percent VAT cut on pubs
40:30
Speaker 12: and clubs. As you've just said, they're unfunded. What's happening
40:33
Speaker 12: here is that they are rolling the wicket for massive,
40:36
Speaker 12: massive tax hikes. And when they do that they can say, ha,
40:40
Speaker 12: look we at least we gave you the opportunity to
40:42
Speaker 12: leave a light on your spare room and you can
40:44
Speaker 12: get the bus to your pub. Or you might be
40:47
Speaker 12: able to pay about one pound less for a pint
40:49
Speaker 12: of Carlsburg.
40:50
Speaker 2: So aren't you.
40:51
Speaker 12: Aren't you grateful with what we've done?
40:53
Speaker 6: You ungrateful?
40:54
Speaker 2: So and so.
40:55
Speaker 12: But this is the main problem here is that Andy
40:58
Speaker 12: Burnham is a man who doesn't think that there's anything
41:01
Speaker 12: fundamentally wrong with Britain. He just thinks you can tinker
41:05
Speaker 12: around the edges. You know, yesterday, for example, we had
41:08
Speaker 12: a mega migrant dinghy come across the English Channel with
41:11
Speaker 12: more than eighty people on it. We've got massive crime figures,
41:15
Speaker 12: we've got issues with the welfare state, with the benefit system,
41:18
Speaker 12: huge issues with defense. At the moment we are not
41:21
Speaker 12: funding defense correctly. There is no big announcement or anything
41:25
Speaker 12: like that. What he's trying to do is palm the
41:27
Speaker 12: plubs off by saying, here you go, here's one.
41:30
Speaker 11: P off your pint of beer.
41:32
Speaker 12: And it's not really going to wash.
41:36
Speaker 2: Well, yes, considering for the pubs, I think it works
41:40
Speaker 2: out about two thousand dollars a.
41:41
Speaker 1: Year off, but really, whoop you do?
41:46
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, of course, you know, despite all the handouts so
41:49
Speaker 2: cheaper mere, the governor still has woke as now you've
41:54
Speaker 2: got news that public servants are going to face punishment
41:57
Speaker 2: if they miss gender colleagues, if they don't use the
42:00
Speaker 2: colleague's preferred name or their gender if they're transgender. Now, look,
42:07
Speaker 2: I believe in good manners and a little bit of
42:09
Speaker 2: kindness and all that. Is that what this is about?
42:11
Speaker 2: Or is there something more?
42:13
Speaker 12: No, this is absolutely ridiculous. If one day I said
42:16
Speaker 12: to you, Andrew, I want you to refer to me
42:18
Speaker 12: as Patricia now, and instead of this suit I put
42:20
Speaker 12: address on and you decided that you didn't fancy doing
42:23
Speaker 12: that because it would be absolutely bonkers, then you could
42:25
Speaker 12: face massive, massive sanctions if you works in our civil service.
42:28
Speaker 12: There is an interesting exemption here, so if you persistently
42:32
Speaker 12: misgender or dead name someone, if you have a neurological condition,
42:38
Speaker 12: then you are basically allowed to get away with doing it.
42:40
Speaker 12: But in this case, the neurological condition would be reality,
42:44
Speaker 12: wouldn't it, So that's quite a good way out of it.
42:47
Speaker 12: I'm surprised that the Civil Service have actually got any
42:49
Speaker 12: time to do this, because they're too busy at the
42:52
Speaker 12: moment doing things like listening circles, diversity days and seminars
42:57
Speaker 12: on microaggressions all during working out. It just shows how
43:01
Speaker 12: out of touch people who are actually in charge of
43:03
Speaker 12: making these laws in our country, in charge of actually
43:06
Speaker 12: designing them and drawing them up and all of that stuff.
43:09
Speaker 12: How out of touch they are with wider reality.
43:15
Speaker 2: Now, Patrick, I've had bad news today. I booked myself
43:22
Speaker 2: and a cruise I've wanted to do for decades, going
43:25
Speaker 2: down the Danube and the Rhine to Amsterdam, my dad's
43:28
Speaker 2: old stamping ground. Now I read there's such a bad
43:33
Speaker 2: heat wave and drought that the rivers are too low
43:36
Speaker 2: for some of the boats. One of the cruises I've
43:38
Speaker 2: taken has already been canceled. I'm on tenderhooks. Now. Who
43:42
Speaker 2: are the people blaming? Is that the El Nino effect
43:44
Speaker 2: that's really hit Europe? Winds bringing hot air from Africa,
43:50
Speaker 2: the usual whipping boy, of course, global warming. Let's not
43:53
Speaker 2: forget that or something else.
43:56
Speaker 12: Well, I'm afraid it'll have to fall under the something
43:58
Speaker 12: else category here, Andrew. What's actually happened is that because
44:03
Speaker 12: we've been on this relentless drive to net zero in
44:05
Speaker 12: Europe and we have deindustrialized faster than any other part
44:09
Speaker 12: of the world, at great expense, and the loss of
44:11
Speaker 12: loads of jobs. By the way, we now do not
44:14
Speaker 12: actually have enough pollution in the skies to block the
44:18
Speaker 12: Sun's rays. So we have seen huge, huge heat waves
44:23
Speaker 12: across especially continental Europe and France. Sorry, in France, there's
44:28
Speaker 12: been something like four thousand excess deaths as a result
44:32
Speaker 12: of the latest heat waves. We are during the other
44:34
Speaker 12: heat wave here, and what they are now saying is
44:37
Speaker 12: is that because we've not got enough pollution in the skies,
44:40
Speaker 12: we are in massive, massive trouble and the Sun's rays
44:43
Speaker 12: are just beaming directly onto people, killing them, starting fires
44:47
Speaker 12: and essentially draining the rivers. We've got about ten million
44:50
Speaker 12: people living in Britain now who are currently living under
44:52
Speaker 12: a hose pipe BAMD. So we are a first world
44:55
Speaker 12: country but had a bit of heat. We can't even
44:57
Speaker 12: water our own back gardens unless you are on benefits,
45:02
Speaker 12: in which case you are allowed to water your guard
45:04
Speaker 12: which is remarkable as well. So it's just not absolutely bonkers.
45:12
Speaker 2: Patrick, Can I just thank you for turning up so
45:15
Speaker 2: spruce and so neat and so will made up because
45:19
Speaker 2: I didn't notice that you were photographed with a massive
45:23
Speaker 2: bruise on your head, which I first thought of. Patrick's
45:27
Speaker 2: got himself into travel. Oh my goodness me and then
45:30
Speaker 2: I thought saw.
45:31
Speaker 6: That the.
45:33
Speaker 2: Cause of this was a humble toy. Explain how on
45:38
Speaker 2: earth you did that to yourself?
45:40
Speaker 12: So I have a ten month old son as there.
45:42
Speaker 12: Anyone who's got children will know you will do anything
45:45
Speaker 12: to try to make them laugh. The sound of a
45:48
Speaker 12: baby's giggle is the best sound in the world. He's
45:50
Speaker 12: got a suction toy which you can stick onto things.
45:53
Speaker 12: I stuck it to my own forehead and ripped it
45:56
Speaker 12: off about for about five minutes, solidly about fifty and
46:00
Speaker 12: it was making him laugh. And then about an hour
46:02
Speaker 12: later I looked in the mirror and realized I've given
46:04
Speaker 12: myself what looks like a massive love bite on the
46:07
Speaker 12: middle of my forehead. And you can't cover it up
46:10
Speaker 12: with makeup because it's blue, so I'd have to pay
46:13
Speaker 12: my entire face blue.
46:15
Speaker 2: When I go on the tunnel. I thought at first
46:20
Speaker 2: it was a shadow, but no, no, no, where you go,
46:23
Speaker 2: Patrick Christie is good on you. What a father won't
46:26
Speaker 2: do for his son. I hope my sons know that too.
46:29
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for your time, mate, really appreciate it.
46:34
Speaker 2: Before I go, I mean, here we go. You know,
46:39
Speaker 2: we thought we'd seen me. Now, we didn't think we've
46:42
Speaker 2: seen the ear last. But remember the case of Giggle
46:47
Speaker 2: versus Tickle, Roxane Tickle. It was actually rock haand Tickle
46:50
Speaker 2: versus Giggle Giggles a woman women's only website and Roxanne Tickle,
46:55
Speaker 2: who's transgender, now identifies.
46:57
Speaker 1: This woman as sued. Of course, you know the whole story.
47:00
Speaker 2: We've had done here a number of times, sued because
47:03
Speaker 2: they were being discriminated against right as a woman, and
47:09
Speaker 2: the federal court said, you are a woman. Under the
47:13
Speaker 2: new Act that was passed by the Julia Gillard government,
47:16
Speaker 2: are removing the definition of a woman. You are a
47:19
Speaker 2: woman because you say you are essentially that's what it said.
47:22
Speaker 2: That's being appealed to the High Court. We now have
47:24
Speaker 2: another case. We now have another case. A Gold Coast
47:29
Speaker 2: pole dancing studio that says it too is just for women,
47:34
Speaker 2: is being sued for thirty thousand dollars in damages after
47:38
Speaker 2: it refused membership to another transgender person identifying as female. Now,
47:46
Speaker 2: I know it'd be nice to include her if you could,
47:49
Speaker 2: or him, you know, but not if you don't think
47:53
Speaker 2: your customers would feel comfortable. And the owner of the
47:57
Speaker 2: studio says they didn't they didn't feel comfortable the vibe
47:59
Speaker 2: shift couple of people. Well, fine, if you think they
48:04
Speaker 2: should do it, whatever, leave it up to people. But
48:07
Speaker 2: here is the problem. The court has actually said if
48:11
Speaker 2: she says he's a woman, she is a woman, and
48:14
Speaker 2: you must buy law. And this is the crazy thing.
48:16
Speaker 2: And what's even worse is that Julia Gillard, the former
48:20
Speaker 2: Prime Minister, has said three weeks ago old times of
48:22
Speaker 2: change and we weren't really thinking about that. She didn't
48:25
Speaker 2: know this would be a consequence. That's how dumb they were.
48:28
Speaker 2: That's how easily they pushed through the social legislation, never
48:31
Speaker 2: thinking it through. Well, if that's the case, if Parliament
48:35
Speaker 2: accidentally passed the law that's leading to these absurd restrictions
48:39
Speaker 2: in our freedom to choose her own company, then Parliament
48:42
Speaker 2: must then reconsider and pass a new law clarifying that
48:47
Speaker 2: a woman is and at our born female, et cetera,
48:49
Speaker 2: et cetera. Love you, this is trouble for this woman.
48:52
Speaker 2: That's it for me. Coming up next to Sherry, hosted
48:55
Speaker 2: by the most excellent James McPherson. Good note,
