Speaker 1: Live on Sky News. This is Sharry.
0:07
Speaker 2: Thanks Andrew, good evening, Welcome to the show, and we
0:10
Speaker 2: start tonight with breaking news. Peter Dutton demands the Prime
0:14
Speaker 2: Minister step in to cancel a heartless Palestinian rally planned
0:19
Speaker 2: for October seven. I'm going to bring you that breaking
0:22
Speaker 2: story in a moment, plus Albanesi's week leadership on display,
0:26
Speaker 2: a social cohesion in Australia hangs by a thread, and
0:31
Speaker 2: the ABC responds to the latest blunder by one of
0:34
Speaker 2: its journalists. I'm also going to bring you full coverage
0:37
Speaker 2: of Israel's ground raids and the missiles that hit Israel
0:41
Speaker 2: in the past two hours.
0:42
Speaker 3: Sharon Haskell will join.
0:44
Speaker 2: Me live on the ground, plus a massive lineup tonight
0:47
Speaker 2: James Patterson, Dave Shamer, Bronwin, Bishop, Kayla Bond and Michael
0:51
Speaker 2: Kroger all.
0:53
Speaker 3: On the show.
0:54
Speaker 2: But first let's go to that breaking news. Peter Dutton
0:56
Speaker 2: is tonight demanding the Government council a major pro Palestinian
1:01
Speaker 2: rally planned for the anniversary of October seven on Monday.
1:06
Speaker 2: Dutton says the timing is utterly sickening, and we learn
1:11
Speaker 2: just moments ago that New South Wales Police have filed
1:15
Speaker 2: a court motion to try stop this protest going ahead.
1:20
Speaker 2: The Palestinian Action Group is planning to hold a mass gathering.
1:24
Speaker 3: On the steps of town Hall.
1:26
Speaker 2: This is almost a replica of the outrageous protest that
1:31
Speaker 2: started there and ended at the Opera House a year ago.
1:35
Speaker 2: The flyer promoting this event and you can see it here,
1:38
Speaker 2: it says morning twelve months of genocide and terrorism, October seventh.
1:46
Speaker 2: You can't get more insensitive than this. On the anniversary
1:51
Speaker 2: of the day actual terrorists invaded Israel and murdered entire families,
1:57
Speaker 2: killed babies in their cots, and raped teenage girls before
2:02
Speaker 2: shooting them dead. This is the day the Palestinians want
2:07
Speaker 2: to have a rally.
2:08
Speaker 3: Absolutely not. This is not okay, It's not appropriate, not on.
2:13
Speaker 2: The day where there was the greatest loss of Jewish
2:16
Speaker 2: life since the Holocaust. Well, Peter Dutton Dohl told The
2:20
Speaker 2: Daily Telegraph that the timing is wrong. He said, the
2:25
Speaker 2: fact that these anti Jewish protest gatherings are being considered
2:28
Speaker 2: and organized at a time when the Jewish community will
2:32
Speaker 2: be commemorating the greatest loss of life since the Holocaust
2:36
Speaker 2: is an utterly sickening and vile reflection on these protesters.
2:42
Speaker 3: How low will they stoop?
2:45
Speaker 2: Those are Peter Dutton's comments, and he says there needs
2:48
Speaker 2: to be an urgent caught order to stop the event
2:52
Speaker 2: going ahead. He's caught on alban Easy to put an
2:55
Speaker 2: end to this, together the organizers to change the date.
3:00
Speaker 2: He says, the Prime Minister needs to start showing leadership.
3:04
Speaker 2: But I'm starting to think the Prime Minister is incapable
3:08
Speaker 2: of leadership. He might have been a good local MP,
3:12
Speaker 2: but he hasn't been good for Australia. He's allowed our
3:16
Speaker 2: successful multicultural society to crumble. He's allowed racism to spread.
3:23
Speaker 3: He's allowed one.
3:25
Speaker 2: Community in particular to be targeted over and over again,
3:29
Speaker 2: day in day out, with the perpetrators facing no consequences
3:34
Speaker 2: at all. The Prime Minister has not only damaged our
3:38
Speaker 2: diplomatic relations with Israel, but he's allowed support for terrorism
3:44
Speaker 2: to flourish.
3:46
Speaker 3: Under his watch.
3:47
Speaker 2: The nature of our country has changed for the worse.
3:52
Speaker 2: Where the most vile sentiments in society have been unleashed.
3:57
Speaker 2: There are mosques holding services for a dead terrorist leader,
4:02
Speaker 2: spitting in the face of Australian laws, and Albanizi does
4:07
Speaker 2: nothing but Peter Dutton said today that if he were
4:11
Speaker 2: Prime Minister, he would take action.
4:15
Speaker 4: Firstly, mosque's holding themorial services for the hesbela leader.
4:19
Speaker 3: It seems it seems deliberately provocative.
4:21
Speaker 5: Well, it's very much provocative and it's unnecessary. Every Australian
4:26
Speaker 5: would want somebody with the religious belief to be able
4:29
Speaker 5: to practice relief that belief and go to a mosque,
4:32
Speaker 5: go to a temple, go to a church, whatever it
4:34
Speaker 5: might be. But to go there to glorify somebody who
4:39
Speaker 5: has been responsible for literally hundreds or thousands of deaths,
4:42
Speaker 5: a terrorist leader, a leader of a listed terrorist organization
4:46
Speaker 5: is completely unaccepted.
4:47
Speaker 6: What do you do without.
4:49
Speaker 5: The police and the authorities at home Affairs should be
4:52
Speaker 5: in deep discussions with themalms and with other leaders within
4:56
Speaker 5: the community to make sure that they dial a temperature
4:59
Speaker 5: down here, because this is going to end in tragedy
5:01
Speaker 5: if we don't see an enforcement of the law and
5:05
Speaker 5: people respecting our values and our laws in this country.
5:09
Speaker 2: Dutton accuses Albanesi of weakness for failing to take action
5:13
Speaker 2: ever since the Opera House protest. He's painting him as
5:17
Speaker 2: weak and the perception is cementing quickly because it's true.
5:23
Speaker 5: Why Carl, I mean, why not show the strength of
5:25
Speaker 5: leadership that our nation requires. This is a very significant
5:28
Speaker 5: point for us, and I don't believe any of his predecessors,
5:31
Speaker 5: not Julia Gillard, not John Howard, not Bob Hawk, would
5:34
Speaker 5: have acted with such weakness. And it permeates down.
5:39
Speaker 3: Now.
5:39
Speaker 2: ALBINIZI doesn't accept the criticism that he's weak, but he
5:43
Speaker 2: should compare a strong leader like Natanyahu in Israel, or
5:48
Speaker 2: even Dutton's own courage with the insipid and uninspiring Albanesi.
5:54
Speaker 2: Editor Chris daw makes this excellent point in The Knightly.
5:58
Speaker 2: He says, when the un U version of October seven
6:01
Speaker 2: went down September eleventh, Australia went to war. Now he says,
6:09
Speaker 2: we have gone to water. And he says, put simply,
6:12
Speaker 2: the left detests Israel and supports what they believe is
6:16
Speaker 2: the Palestinian Resistance, a movement that has long been affront
6:21
Speaker 2: from murderous anti West Islamist terror cult and Dol writes
6:26
Speaker 2: about how figures of the Left like Penny Wong and
6:29
Speaker 2: Albanzi have simply appeased terrorist supporters.
6:35
Speaker 3: He says Wog is exposed by her own words she
6:38
Speaker 3: is the minister for Yes.
6:40
Speaker 2: But Israel Albanizi might be an ordinary bloke and an
6:44
Speaker 2: average prime minister, for which we can generally forgive him,
6:48
Speaker 2: but he will never be forgotten for appeasing terrorists and
6:52
Speaker 2: running an extraordinarily dangerous foreign policy. Now form Israeli Prime
6:58
Speaker 2: Minister Golda may I once said.
7:01
Speaker 3: That Israel would not ask permission to survive.
7:06
Speaker 2: She said, we refuse absolutely to be the only people
7:10
Speaker 2: in the world which consents to having its fate decided
7:14
Speaker 2: by others. This wise message is worth remembering as Israel
7:20
Speaker 2: fights for its survival, as the world tries to tie
7:23
Speaker 2: its hands behind its back. The woke weak West calls
7:28
Speaker 2: constantly for a ceasefire, including the Albanese government, and Israel's
7:34
Speaker 2: response will first the execution of Nasrallah and now a
7:39
Speaker 2: ground targeted raid to dismantle Hesbela forces. The terror organization
7:45
Speaker 2: is crippled, beheaded, and now the IDF is targeting the
7:48
Speaker 2: last remaining weapons and infrastructure. And today Israel announced limited
7:54
Speaker 2: ground raids of Hesbela sites across the Lebanon border. The
7:58
Speaker 2: Defense Minister Yoa Gallant met Israeli troops hours before these
8:04
Speaker 2: young men and women put their life on the line
8:08
Speaker 2: for the sake of freedom.
8:11
Speaker 4: Demoshanzan, this is your mission and if we will employ
8:14
Speaker 4: all that is needed, your forces, other forces, from the air,
8:18
Speaker 4: from the sea, and also from the land.
8:21
Speaker 2: Now it's important to note here that Israel is not
8:24
Speaker 2: only defending its own citizens but liberating Lebanon from the
8:29
Speaker 2: stranglehold of a murderous regime. Yet the West demanded a ceasefire,
8:35
Speaker 2: and Joe Biden personally phone Net and Yahoo to urge
8:39
Speaker 2: him to let Nasrallah be, not to go after him,
8:43
Speaker 2: not to kill him, instead.
8:45
Speaker 3: Have a ceasefire.
8:47
Speaker 2: How pathetic are these woke and weak world leaders, and
8:52
Speaker 2: the Australian government is among the worst of them.
8:56
Speaker 4: We are gravely concerned at the escalation of this conflict
9:00
Speaker 4: means the loss of more innocent life, and that's why
9:03
Speaker 4: we have engaged in the international community, and that's why
9:07
Speaker 4: we reiterate our calls for a ceasefire.
9:10
Speaker 7: The number of civilians killed is just intolerable, and that's
9:13
Speaker 7: why the government's calls for a ceasefire are so important.
9:17
Speaker 8: Certainly calling for de escalation of the conflict in the
9:21
Speaker 8: Middle East, so that remains our message.
9:23
Speaker 3: That remains our message to Israel.
9:26
Speaker 2: In fact, it's the Western leaders that are partly to
9:29
Speaker 2: blame for these emboldened terrorists. Had the international community shown
9:34
Speaker 2: unwavering solidarity with Israel in the wake of October seven,
9:39
Speaker 2: Tehran may not have flexed its muscles and given the
9:43
Speaker 2: green light to Hesblah and the Hooties. The international community
9:47
Speaker 2: should have shown unequivocal strength in the face of Iran. Instead,
9:52
Speaker 2: the West has perpetuated the false narrative that it's Israel
9:57
Speaker 2: that's the aggressor and this is only emboldened Iran and
10:02
Speaker 2: its terrorist proxies. The international community could have slapped the
10:06
Speaker 2: strongest sanctions possible on the Ayatolas of Iran and put
10:11
Speaker 2: a stranglehold on its financial and terrorism operations, but it chose.
10:16
Speaker 3: Not to do so.
10:18
Speaker 2: Israel has been drawn into this fight. The Jewish state
10:22
Speaker 2: is on the front line of the war on terror,
10:25
Speaker 2: and as The Wall Street Journal Editor at Large Gerard
10:28
Speaker 2: Baker writes today in an excellent piece, the world should
10:32
Speaker 2: be thanking Israel. He says, instead of constant calls for
10:35
Speaker 2: a ceasefire, the only appropriate response to Israel's fortitude and
10:41
Speaker 2: skill from its nominal allies should be thank you and
10:45
Speaker 2: how can.
10:45
Speaker 3: We help, he writes.
10:47
Speaker 2: Instead, Time and time again, Israel's supposed friends, including the
10:53
Speaker 2: administration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, have, while expressing
10:57
Speaker 2: sympathy over the outrage of October seventh and uttering the
11:01
Speaker 2: usual support for Israel's right to defend itself, repeatedly tried
11:06
Speaker 2: to restrain it.
11:06
Speaker 3: From doing just that.
11:09
Speaker 2: Do they not get that in the end, we have
11:11
Speaker 2: to make a choice our ally on the front lines
11:16
Speaker 2: of defense against barbarism, or our enemies, those who literally
11:21
Speaker 2: want to see us all buried. And if Gerard Bacon
11:26
Speaker 2: knew about Penny Wong and alber Easy, he'd add them
11:29
Speaker 2: to the list of supposed friends too, because they've been
11:32
Speaker 2: worse than even the Abiden administration, which at least voted
11:36
Speaker 2: against the Prohamas United Nations resolution.
11:41
Speaker 3: The line we constantly.
11:42
Speaker 2: Hear from the international community is that Israel has a
11:46
Speaker 2: right to defend itself. But but, but, every excuse under
11:52
Speaker 2: the sun for why Israel shouldn't fight back, for why
11:56
Speaker 2: Israel should just lay down arms and let the terrorists
12:00
Speaker 2: live and thrive and kill its own people, Well, Israel
12:05
Speaker 2: is not going to do that, no matter how many
12:08
Speaker 2: times the likes of Katie Gallagher and Pennywog or Kamala
12:12
Speaker 2: Harris or Emmanuel mccron lecture Israel it won't matter because
12:18
Speaker 2: Israel won't ask others.
12:19
Speaker 3: For permission to survive.
12:21
Speaker 2: As Golda Maya said, Israel won't have its fate decided
12:26
Speaker 2: by others. Well, as I mentioned, coming up on the
12:33
Speaker 2: show tonight, Israeli politician Sharon Haskell. She'll be speaking about
12:37
Speaker 2: Israel's targeted ground raids on Hezbala in Lebanon. Also James Patterson.
12:43
Speaker 2: James Patterson joining me live. He's pretty angry over the
12:46
Speaker 2: government's response to those protests on the weekend.
12:49
Speaker 3: Also going to bring you.
12:50
Speaker 2: The rest of the day's news, the other big stories
12:52
Speaker 2: with my panels. But now let's bring in former Victorian
12:55
Speaker 2: Liberal Party president Michael Kroger and Liberal Senator Dave shar Welcome.
13:01
Speaker 3: To you both.
13:02
Speaker 2: Well, let's start with the protests on the weekend. And
13:06
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if you've seen this vision yet, if
13:07
Speaker 2: anyone's even played it yet, but I was appoored to
13:10
Speaker 2: see children at the rally surrounded by people who were
13:15
Speaker 2: forcing them to be pictured with the terror leader Hassan
13:19
Speaker 2: ISRAELA have a look at this footage Michael Kroeger, children
13:37
Speaker 2: indoctrinated in Australia to support terrorism.
13:40
Speaker 3: I mean it's next level.
13:43
Speaker 2: What's your response to the lack of leadership we've seen
13:46
Speaker 2: from this government.
13:48
Speaker 9: Well, it's the type of thing that you see in Gaza,
13:51
Speaker 9: when children at a young agent and indoctrinated in underschools
13:55
Speaker 9: to hate Jewish people. This is a disgraceful development in
14:01
Speaker 9: Australia today. And by the way, I didn't see anyone
14:05
Speaker 9: I noticed is leaders said, oh, this was a small
14:07
Speaker 9: group that came to the demonstrations. I didn't see anyone
14:11
Speaker 9: asking them to leave. They seem to be quite happy
14:14
Speaker 9: melling amongst all of the other demonstras there. No one
14:18
Speaker 9: threw them out, no one reported them to the police.
14:20
Speaker 9: They were quite accepted as part of that demonstration, which
14:24
Speaker 9: is a disgusting thing to see. But the answer your
14:27
Speaker 9: question is this. Look, if there's one legacy, which will
14:31
Speaker 9: be one thing will be written about the Abanezy government
14:34
Speaker 9: in the years ahead when they look back on this period,
14:37
Speaker 9: he'll be remembered for one thing that the greatest rise
14:41
Speaker 9: in anti Semitism and Jewish hatred happened in Australia on
14:44
Speaker 9: his watch at as Prime Minister, and at a time
14:48
Speaker 9: when Australia needed leadership, we got this weak, insipid, nervous,
14:54
Speaker 9: jellyback prime minister in the big chair. When we needed
14:58
Speaker 9: a bob Hawk John Howard let alone a rage or
15:02
Speaker 9: thatcher to rud us. You know, we got Jimmy Carter
15:06
Speaker 9: and that'll be his legacy. The Jewish hatred was seen
15:10
Speaker 9: on the streets of Australia in the universities and Jews
15:13
Speaker 9: were scared for their own safety under the watcher of
15:16
Speaker 9: Anthony Albanezi.
15:17
Speaker 2: Sharry indeed well said Dave Shima, you always take action
15:21
Speaker 2: when you see horrific things unfolding and true to farm.
15:25
Speaker 3: You've written a.
15:26
Speaker 2: Letter to the Minister for Police after the protests in
15:29
Speaker 2: Melbourne and Sydney. You're asking Victoria Police to identify breaches
15:34
Speaker 2: of the code that makes it an offense to display
15:37
Speaker 2: terror symbols. Why do you think the laws we have
15:40
Speaker 2: in place haven't been used, not just on this occasion,
15:44
Speaker 2: but over the past year.
15:47
Speaker 10: I think the reason they haven't then used, Sherry, is
15:50
Speaker 10: there's been no political directive or political appetite. I mean,
15:53
Speaker 10: if you talk to some of the police who are
15:56
Speaker 10: effectively escorting this protest marches and I did in Melbourne yesterday.
16:01
Speaker 10: Their instructions are basically to try and keep the peace,
16:04
Speaker 10: but not maintain and enforce our laws. They have no
16:08
Speaker 10: political backing from their state ministers or state governments or
16:12
Speaker 10: the federal government indeed to go in and demand the
16:16
Speaker 10: removal or order the removal of these terrorist symbols and flags,
16:21
Speaker 10: or to arrest people for chanting insightful or hateful slogans
16:26
Speaker 10: or anything else. I mean, there is no political leadership
16:28
Speaker 10: being shown here and the police are simply responding to
16:32
Speaker 10: the political directives they get. And it's time that changed.
16:34
Speaker 10: I mean, I think what we saw on Sunday, I
16:37
Speaker 10: mean it's gotten become exceeded all bounds of decency and
16:42
Speaker 10: normalcy several months ago. But surely after Sunday we have
16:46
Speaker 10: to start taking some actions, and reluctant federal and state
16:50
Speaker 10: government ministers need to start making sure that their law
16:53
Speaker 10: enforcement authorities do what it is their tasks we're doing,
16:56
Speaker 10: which is to enforce the law.
16:58
Speaker 2: Look, I just fear that this is going to be
17:01
Speaker 2: the same situation as we saw when police said they
17:03
Speaker 2: were investigating October seven, and then they ended up holding
17:06
Speaker 2: a press conference, as I said last night, gas lighting
17:09
Speaker 2: the Jewish community. I fear that this is going to
17:12
Speaker 2: end in nothing, because nothing has happened so far, so
17:16
Speaker 2: I have lost faith that law enforcement will actually arrest
17:19
Speaker 2: anyone here. There are more problems of the ABC though,
17:23
Speaker 2: as you would know by now, one of the ABC's
17:26
Speaker 2: journalists actually questioned Peter Darton today about why HESBLA was
17:32
Speaker 2: a terror organization and why Israel's flags weren't banned.
17:36
Speaker 3: It was utterly extraordinary.
17:37
Speaker 2: If you haven't seen it yet, we'll play it quickly
17:39
Speaker 2: again now.
17:41
Speaker 5: Determined even though, men, where are you from? I'm sorry?
17:47
Speaker 5: Which organization? ABC? So what's the question from the ABC?
17:53
Speaker 6: Just to be very clear, I just wanted to point out,
17:56
Speaker 6: because we're commented on the but you asked about the
17:59
Speaker 6: listing of therzation.
18:00
Speaker 5: I just didn't understand that questions.
18:08
Speaker 11: Well.
18:08
Speaker 5: I had presumed up until this point at least that
18:10
Speaker 5: the ABC supported the government's laws, and the government has
18:14
Speaker 5: passed laws supported on a bipartisan basis, but not by
18:18
Speaker 5: the AVC. It seems in relation to the prescribing or
18:21
Speaker 5: the listing of a terrorist organization HESBLA under Australian law
18:24
Speaker 5: is a listed terrorist organization. Now, if the ABC doesn't
18:27
Speaker 5: support that, they should be very clear about it, because
18:30
Speaker 5: I think that's quite a departure. But you asked me
18:32
Speaker 5: why why that? Why our country has listed hes Blah?
18:37
Speaker 5: They're a terrorist organization that they organized terrorist attacks and
18:40
Speaker 5: if that is not clear to the ABC, then I
18:43
Speaker 5: think the ABC is in greater trouble. And even I
18:45
Speaker 5: first imagined.
18:47
Speaker 2: Michael Kroger, this is one of the worst cases of
18:50
Speaker 2: anti Israel bias we've seen from the ABC, and there've
18:54
Speaker 2: been a lot.
18:57
Speaker 9: You know, they talk about group thing at the A
18:59
Speaker 9: b C.
18:59
Speaker 3: What what was in.
19:00
Speaker 9: The mind of that journalist when she was at work
19:02
Speaker 9: that morning talking to the people in News and Current
19:04
Speaker 9: Affairs about what she might ask Dutton? Who were her
19:07
Speaker 9: contact group, her friendship group, or were colleagues at the
19:10
Speaker 9: ABC and elsewhere? That got her to the point where
19:14
Speaker 9: she thought it was legitimate to ask Peter Dutton why
19:17
Speaker 9: the Israeli flags are allowed to fly but not the Hesbalah flag,
19:20
Speaker 9: or why is it a terrorist? I mean, for goodness sake,
19:24
Speaker 9: what planet is that girl on? What planet is the
19:27
Speaker 9: ABC on that they send a journalist to speak to
19:30
Speaker 9: the opposition leader and they put that profoundly ignorant question
19:34
Speaker 9: to Peter Dutton. The only remarkable thing about that exchange
19:38
Speaker 9: was that Dutton kept you cool. He's a better man
19:40
Speaker 9: than I am because he kept cool through that whole
19:43
Speaker 9: thing despite an incredibly bizarre question from an ABC reporter.
19:49
Speaker 9: Once again, shame on the ABC. And let's see their
19:52
Speaker 9: explanation for this one. No doubt there'll be another investigation,
19:55
Speaker 9: she'll be cleared, blah blah blah.
19:57
Speaker 3: I mean, not even an investigation.
19:58
Speaker 2: They've put out a statement saying that questions at a
20:01
Speaker 2: press conference today were not a piece of reporting nor
20:04
Speaker 2: a position being taken by the ABC, and they've just
20:07
Speaker 2: said the ABC recognizes that Hesbela is a terror organization.
20:11
Speaker 3: So very weak, Dave.
20:14
Speaker 2: But Dardan's response there actually pulling the journalists up asking
20:18
Speaker 2: where she was from. You know, it's just not the
20:22
Speaker 2: sort of leadership we're seeing from the other side.
20:27
Speaker 10: No, what this journalist did was utter publicly what they
20:32
Speaker 10: all think privately in Altimo and South Bank. I mean,
20:36
Speaker 10: this is actually the mindset that you see it from
20:39
Speaker 10: some of Labour's own government ministers that effectively they treat
20:43
Speaker 10: Israel a legitimate, democratic, liberal state on the same moral
20:49
Speaker 10: footing as a terrorist organization, and I think they should
20:52
Speaker 10: be held to the same standards of account in many respects.
20:55
Speaker 10: In fact, they think that Israel should be held to
20:58
Speaker 10: HESBLA shouldn't be held to any standards of accouncil behavior,
21:01
Speaker 10: and Zelle should be held to one that exceeds what
21:03
Speaker 10: we only what we demand of ourselves. I mean, this
21:06
Speaker 10: is the sort of mindset and I'm glad Peter Dunnan
21:08
Speaker 10: pulled it up because that sort of baseline assumptions that
21:12
Speaker 10: informs a lot of the very bad journalism and reporting
21:16
Speaker 10: we're seeing in Australia needs to be exposed for the
21:20
Speaker 10: moral bankruptcy that it demonstrates.
21:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just extraordinary how they can be so much
21:26
Speaker 2: And israe bias on the public broadcast. I don't know
21:28
Speaker 2: how people can cope with watching it anymore or listening
21:32
Speaker 2: to it. Before we go, I want to turn to
21:34
Speaker 2: the Queensland election because the official election campaign kickoff happened today.
21:40
Speaker 2: The Opposition has ruled out preferencing the Greens over labor.
21:44
Speaker 2: We haven't seen this at a federal level, of course, Michael,
21:48
Speaker 2: in many ways. This is going to be quite a
21:50
Speaker 2: straightforward Queensland campaign.
21:51
Speaker 3: We know who's going to win.
21:55
Speaker 9: Here, we do, but Christoph fool has done the right
21:58
Speaker 9: thing and no doubt at a federal level coalition will
22:00
Speaker 9: put the Greens last, as they should behind every candidate.
22:05
Speaker 9: I personally can't think of any regis to political party
22:07
Speaker 9: who should be put behind the Greens. So I'm hoping
22:10
Speaker 9: that at federal level the Greens go last as a
22:13
Speaker 9: statement to this country that we will not have any
22:15
Speaker 9: association with this anarchist collective of anti Israel politicians, some
22:22
Speaker 9: of whom have exhibited anti Semitic behavior. But the real
22:28
Speaker 9: challenge Shari will be does Anthony Alberanezi have the guts
22:32
Speaker 9: to put the Greens last or is he going to
22:34
Speaker 9: preference the Greens ahead of the Liberal Party and the
22:36
Speaker 9: National Party That would be a disgrace given the extremism
22:41
Speaker 9: of the Greens. He should say you're going last, and
22:44
Speaker 9: if he doesn't, it'll cost him a lot more votes
22:46
Speaker 9: than he thinks.
22:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, Dave, I mean it's for labor here in Queensland.
22:51
Speaker 2: It's not so much about winning the election. They're just
22:54
Speaker 2: trying to hold on to some seats you know, save
22:57
Speaker 2: the furniture to make the next election Campag not as difficult.
23:04
Speaker 10: Look, I think I think that's right. But the moral
23:08
Speaker 10: test that is being posed here is the same regardless
23:11
Speaker 10: of what the outcome is like that have been and
23:13
Speaker 10: Michael's entirely right that Queensland Labor should commit to doing
23:17
Speaker 10: the same, that is putting preferencing the Greens behind or
23:21
Speaker 10: last and not ahead of the Liberals, and Anthony Alberanesi
23:24
Speaker 10: needs to be doing the same. I mean, I don't
23:26
Speaker 10: know how often we hear Anthony Albanesi and pennywom and
23:29
Speaker 10: Tony berknothers castigate the Greens for what they say is
23:33
Speaker 10: the primary cause of the social discord we're seeing on
23:35
Speaker 10: the streets. If they truly believe that, and if they
23:38
Speaker 10: truly have Australia's interests at heart, and our society is
23:41
Speaker 10: interest at heart, then Federal Labour needs to commit to
23:43
Speaker 10: putting the Greens last at the upcoming.
23:45
Speaker 2: Election one hundred percent. The Greens are such an easy target.
23:49
Speaker 2: But you know, let your actions follow your words, and
23:53
Speaker 2: we haven't seen that from Federal Labor all right. Michael Kroger,
23:56
Speaker 2: Dave Shima really appreciate your time.
23:57
Speaker 3: Thank you. Now let's turn to Tony Burke. Now, the Home.
24:02
Speaker 2: Affairs Minister was asked today about the protests on the weekend,
24:07
Speaker 2: the people flying the Hezbela flags, the terrorism celebrating the
24:12
Speaker 2: dead terror leader Hassan Israla, and he managed to turn
24:16
Speaker 2: his answer into an attack on Peter Dutton.
24:19
Speaker 3: Have a listen with Peter Dutton.
24:22
Speaker 7: It is always about the Middle East and never about
24:25
Speaker 7: Middle Australia.
24:26
Speaker 6: The moment, it's.
24:27
Speaker 7: About something on the other side of the world. Peter
24:29
Speaker 7: Dunnan wants to talk about that and nothing else.
24:33
Speaker 2: All right, let's bring in now Shadow Home Affairs Minister
24:35
Speaker 2: James Patterson. James, thank you very much for your time
24:39
Speaker 2: this evening. Look, we have seen yet again a very
24:43
Speaker 2: weak and slow response from the Albanezy government to terror supporters,
24:48
Speaker 2: thousands and thousands of them taking to the street. What's
24:52
Speaker 2: your criticism of how the government and law enforcement have handled.
24:56
Speaker 3: This and do you have any confidence in.
24:58
Speaker 2: The investigations that both the AFP and New Southoles Police
25:01
Speaker 2: are our running.
25:04
Speaker 8: Sharry, I don't want to shock Tony Burke, but in
25:07
Speaker 8: breaking news, the cities of Melbourne and Sydney are in
25:10
Speaker 8: fact located in the country of Australia. They're not in
25:13
Speaker 8: the Middle East, and what we saw happening in those
25:16
Speaker 8: cities on Sunday should be of concern to every Australian politician.
25:21
Speaker 3: In fact, in.
25:21
Speaker 8: Many ways they've got nothing to do with the Middle East.
25:24
Speaker 8: The Middle East might be the catalyst for what we saw,
25:27
Speaker 8: but it's about our country and what we're willing to
25:29
Speaker 8: accept and tolerate here. And Peter Dunt't has taken a
25:32
Speaker 8: very strong stand that it's actually not okay to glorify terrorism,
25:36
Speaker 8: to support terrorist organizations and to wave their flags in
25:39
Speaker 8: the cities of our country. And if Tony Burke has
25:43
Speaker 8: quarreled with that, if he disagrees with that, he should
25:45
Speaker 8: just stand up and say so. If he had the
25:47
Speaker 8: courage of his convictions, he would do so. Coming your
25:49
Speaker 8: question about the police investigations, I have been pleased that
25:53
Speaker 8: it appears that the Albanezer government and the Australian Federal
25:57
Speaker 8: Police have finally got the message from the community that
26:00
Speaker 8: this is unacceptable and that the law must be enforced.
26:04
Speaker 8: Because today Onscy News, a Deputy Commissioner of the AFP,
26:08
Speaker 8: Chrissy Barrett, is head of National Security for the AFP
26:11
Speaker 8: said that she's confident in the cases that the AFP
26:14
Speaker 8: plans to bring to court in relation to these offenses.
26:18
Speaker 8: Now that's a big leap from what they started saying
26:20
Speaker 8: on Monday morning, which is no charges will be laid
26:23
Speaker 8: because no offenses will be committed. I think finally the
26:26
Speaker 8: message just got through to the AFP.
26:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's Look, we'll have to see whether they actually
26:31
Speaker 2: take it seriously this time, because we've seen investigations before
26:34
Speaker 2: and we have seen no arrests at all. Look, we're
26:37
Speaker 2: also learning today that the Anti Semitism Envoy has recommended
26:43
Speaker 2: a judicial inquiry into anti Semitism and the Albanezy government
26:47
Speaker 2: has rejected it. At the same time, we heard on
26:50
Speaker 2: radio this morning Tony Burke say that no one faces
26:54
Speaker 2: more racism than a Muslim woman wearing a burka.
26:58
Speaker 3: Do you think the government just actually doesn't care about Jews?
27:05
Speaker 8: So I wish I could have a strong and persuasive
27:07
Speaker 8: argument against that suggestion, but it's really hard to come
27:10
Speaker 8: to the defense of the government here on this. We
27:13
Speaker 8: have seen an unprecedented antisemitism crisis in our country over
27:17
Speaker 8: the last twelve months. We have seen Jews who've lived
27:20
Speaker 8: safely and happily in Australia for all their lives, say
27:24
Speaker 8: that they feel unsafe, so much so they're contemplating moving
27:27
Speaker 8: to Israel, a country under attack from three terrorist organizations
27:31
Speaker 8: right now, because they think they might feel safer there
27:33
Speaker 8: than they do in the streets of our major cities.
27:36
Speaker 8: And it is deeply disappointing that the Albinezi government has
27:39
Speaker 8: ignored the advice of their handpicked antisemitism envoy about the
27:44
Speaker 8: need to have a inquiry in judicial inquiry into antisemitism
27:48
Speaker 8: on campus because what we've seen happen on our campuses
27:51
Speaker 8: since the seventh October is utterly unacceptable, and for Labor
27:55
Speaker 8: to turn their backs on Jewish students and others who've
27:58
Speaker 8: been horrified by what we've seen on camp shows, they
28:00
Speaker 8: just don't understand the serious moral challenge posed by anti Semitism,
28:05
Speaker 8: how corrosive it is for our society, and how critical
28:07
Speaker 8: it is that we stand up to it with courage.
28:10
Speaker 2: I also want to ask you about the comments or
28:13
Speaker 2: the question that the ABC journalist asked Peter Dutton today.
28:16
Speaker 3: I just played it a moment ago.
28:19
Speaker 2: You know, this is typical of the anti Israel bias
28:21
Speaker 2: we're seeing, but it is a taxpayer funded organization of
28:25
Speaker 2: billion dollars a year, so doesn't there need to be
28:28
Speaker 2: some accountability and what can be done?
28:33
Speaker 5: Shari?
28:33
Speaker 8: Only a journalist at the ABC would think that it's
28:35
Speaker 8: an appropriate question to ask, why don't we ban the
28:38
Speaker 8: display of Israeli flags in Australia and why has been
28:43
Speaker 8: listed as a terrorist organization. I'll deny this if you
28:46
Speaker 8: say that I said it, Sharry, but fair. Actually, there'd
28:48
Speaker 8: be even journalists at the ABC who would be appalled
28:51
Speaker 8: by that, Some good journalists there who'd be hanging their
28:53
Speaker 8: heads in shame tonight. But in the spirit of helpfulness,
28:55
Speaker 8: let me assist the journalists at the ABC. Hezbola was
28:58
Speaker 8: founded in nineteen eighty two. Their first terrorist attack was
29:01
Speaker 8: nineteen eighty three. It was against the US embassy in Beirut.
29:04
Speaker 8: Eighty three people were killed. The next year they attacked
29:07
Speaker 8: US and French marine barracks, where two hundred and ninety
29:09
Speaker 8: nine people were killed. The next year they bombed a
29:11
Speaker 8: restaurant in Spain where eighteen people were killed. Skipping forward
29:15
Speaker 8: a decade or so, in Buenos Aires, they bombed both
29:18
Speaker 8: the Israeli embassy, killing twenty nine people and a Jewish
29:21
Speaker 8: community center killing eighty five people. Skipping again ahead a
29:24
Speaker 8: decade or two. They assassinated the former Prime Minister of
29:27
Speaker 8: Lebanon in two thousand and five, killing twenty two people.
29:30
Speaker 8: And I could go on and on and on. His
29:32
Speaker 8: blot has destroyed Lebanon. They've done enormous damage in Syria.
29:36
Speaker 8: They've attacked Israel. They are rightly listed as a terrorist organization.
29:39
Speaker 8: And it is only someone at the ABC who could
29:42
Speaker 8: not understand those facts.
29:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, indeed, all right, James Patterson, thank you so much
29:46
Speaker 2: for your strength and your courage in fighting on this topic.
29:49
Speaker 2: Appreciate your time tonight as well. Now still to come,
29:52
Speaker 2: the human toll of the pandemic revealed, as experts claimed
29:56
Speaker 2: policymakers overlooked social cohesion and mental health went pushing public orders. Plus,
30:02
Speaker 2: we're live to Israel with the latest on the ground
30:05
Speaker 2: raids on Hesbelai, Israeli m P. Sharon Haschool would join
30:09
Speaker 2: me next. We're coming up in a moment Rodwin Bishop
30:15
Speaker 2: and Kayleb bond on the other big stories around today,
30:17
Speaker 2: including the mental health impact of the COVID lockdowns.
30:21
Speaker 3: But now let's go live to Israel, where it has
30:24
Speaker 3: just been the.
30:25
Speaker 2: Recipient of Hesbela rockets and missiles just in the past
30:28
Speaker 2: couple of hours. Let's bring in now Israeli politician Sharon Haskell,
30:33
Speaker 2: who's live in Kafar Sabah in Israel.
30:36
Speaker 3: Sharon, thank you for joining us. So tell us what's
30:39
Speaker 3: happened Sharon just two hours ago? Well, to be.
30:44
Speaker 12: Honest, tomorrow's the Israeli New Year, and I was here
30:47
Speaker 12: at my backyard hanging the fairy lights. When I heard
30:50
Speaker 12: the alarms. I ran straight into my shelter here in
30:54
Speaker 12: the home. In Israel, every home has a shelter. Almost
30:57
Speaker 12: everyone care of five calling the kindergarten to make sure
31:02
Speaker 12: that my little girls are okay. And you know what,
31:07
Speaker 12: sharing that's the reality of almost every single day of
31:11
Speaker 12: some of our citizens here the northern part of Israel,
31:15
Speaker 12: every single day was hammered by missiles act on a
31:21
Speaker 12: daily basis. Towns were destroyed.
31:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, which is or cans.
31:29
Speaker 2: Sorry, we're losing your audio a bit there, Sharon will Yes,
31:33
Speaker 2: we can.
31:33
Speaker 3: We'll try and stick with it. I was gonna ask you, though,
31:36
Speaker 3: you know, Hezbela has launched.
31:40
Speaker 2: Missile rocket attacks every single day, eight thousand rockets since
31:44
Speaker 2: October the eighth. Now Israel has said enough is enough.
31:49
Speaker 2: As you said, it's the Jewish New year Russiashana. Tomorrow,
31:53
Speaker 2: there's going to be young men and women, teenagers, early
31:57
Speaker 2: twenties who are missing from the table celebrating the new
32:01
Speaker 2: year because they are going to have to be going
32:03
Speaker 2: into Lebanon to try and target these Hezbola operations that
32:08
Speaker 2: are still standing.
32:12
Speaker 11: Yeah, locally, first of all, we have our soldiers or
32:17
Speaker 11: heroes who are you know, they're going and risking themselves
32:21
Speaker 11: and they're not going to be in their families new year.
32:23
Speaker 12: To make sure that we is rarely citizens can celebrate
32:27
Speaker 12: the new year safely and securely. And the other thing
32:30
Speaker 12: is another one hundred and one hostages who for a
32:34
Speaker 12: year now are being held in hamas dungeons of torture
32:38
Speaker 12: and they're not going to celebrate with their family either. Babies, children, sisters, brothers,
32:43
Speaker 12: grandparents who are not going to be in the loving
32:47
Speaker 12: arms of their families. And it's absolutely heartbreaking. This is
32:51
Speaker 12: going to be a very difficult new year for all
32:54
Speaker 12: of us. And I think that this is something that
32:57
Speaker 12: no other country would have accepted.
33:00
Speaker 3: No, absolutely not.
33:01
Speaker 2: Well, big revelations today reported by both The Times of
33:05
Speaker 2: Israel also the Daily Telegraph here that hamasa's Lebanese leader,
33:09
Speaker 2: Fatah Sharif is now dead. Of course, that he was
33:13
Speaker 2: actually linked to UNRA, this is the discredited United Nations
33:17
Speaker 2: Relief and Works Agency.
33:19
Speaker 3: He was the principal of a.
33:20
Speaker 2: Secondary school which was operated by UNRA. This is a
33:23
Speaker 2: Hamas leader, Sharon. The Australian government, as you know, reinstated
33:30
Speaker 2: funding to UNRA before the independent investigation was even complete.
33:34
Speaker 3: Millions and millions and millions.
33:36
Speaker 2: Of dollars have gone from the Australian government to UNRA,
33:41
Speaker 2: Pennywong and Albanize. He says, it's an important organization. How
33:44
Speaker 2: much more proof do you think Australia and the international
33:47
Speaker 2: community need that this is an organization linked to terrorism?
33:54
Speaker 12: Well, your government knows that. We've been warning them for
33:58
Speaker 12: years about there are thousands of terrorists of Ramas andris
34:06
Speaker 12: Bella who are on the paycheck of Australian taxpayers money.
34:10
Speaker 12: They are paying the salary of those terrorists. And you
34:13
Speaker 12: know what, it's very simple for the Australian governments to
34:16
Speaker 12: also check it. They can ask for Israel the list
34:19
Speaker 12: of Haramas activists. You know they have that information, and
34:23
Speaker 12: they can ask from the United Nations the list of
34:25
Speaker 12: the employees of ANDRA. If they just cross them, they
34:29
Speaker 12: know exactly who is a terrorist, but they just ignore it.
34:33
Speaker 12: It's very easy to ignore the facts. It's very easy
34:36
Speaker 12: to ignore the truth when you don't want to accept it.
34:39
Speaker 11: But they know it.
34:41
Speaker 3: They've known it for years.
34:43
Speaker 12: And that's why in the past many governments have stop
34:45
Speaker 12: funding ANRA because they understand that they are finding terrorism.
34:49
Speaker 12: On a one hand, they declare Chrisbela and other organizations
34:54
Speaker 12: as terrorist organization, but at the other hand they feed
34:57
Speaker 12: them with Australian money, which is actually the absurd.
35:01
Speaker 2: That is a big claim that you've just made their
35:04
Speaker 2: Sharon Haskell, and I think you're right that there are
35:06
Speaker 2: terrorists who are receiving their paycheck from Australian taxpayer funds.
35:11
Speaker 2: That is so outrageous, particularly during a cost of living crisis,
35:15
Speaker 2: our hard earned tax paid dollars going to support terrorism.
35:19
Speaker 2: Sharon Haskell, stay safe, May your daughters stay safe and
35:23
Speaker 2: have a happy new year. Now plenty more to come,
35:27
Speaker 2: the multi million dollar boost to fight supermarket misconduct, plus
35:31
Speaker 2: the US election heating up with Trump taking another swipe
35:35
Speaker 2: at Kamala Harris, this time over a staged photograph. Brodwin
35:40
Speaker 2: Bishop and Calebond will join me next Welcome backwards time
35:47
Speaker 2: to talk about the rest of the day's top stories
35:49
Speaker 2: and joining me in the studio former Speaker of the
35:52
Speaker 2: House Brodern Bishop.
35:53
Speaker 3: And Sky News host cayleb Bond. Great cee you both now.
35:57
Speaker 2: Labor is committing an extra thirty millillion dollars in funding
36:01
Speaker 2: for the A Triple C, the nation's consumer watchdog. This
36:05
Speaker 2: is an order, it says, to boost its fight against
36:08
Speaker 2: the badly behaving supermarkets. The investment will reportedly beef up
36:12
Speaker 2: the A Triple C's monitoring and investigation skills, its ability.
36:17
Speaker 3: Here was the Treasurer making this announcement today.
36:20
Speaker 4: We don't want to see ordinary Australians and families and
36:24
Speaker 4: pensioners being taken for a ride by the supermarkets, and
36:28
Speaker 4: we're taking steps to make sure that they get a
36:31
Speaker 4: fair ago at the checkout.
36:35
Speaker 2: Ronwin look, I think the government was trying to turn
36:38
Speaker 2: the supermarkets into villains. But given the evidence we heard
36:42
Speaker 2: last week about the alleged misconduct, the fake discounts, it's.
36:48
Speaker 3: Pretty outrageous behavior.
36:50
Speaker 2: The supermarkets deserve everything coming to them, if that's what
36:52
Speaker 2: they were doing.
36:54
Speaker 6: Two points to make. I think firstly, they're playing catch
36:57
Speaker 6: up with the nationals who were always on this issue,
37:01
Speaker 6: and we're out front in it, so they're trying to
37:02
Speaker 6: catch up. Secondly, I think you were entitled cynical that
37:08
Speaker 6: when things aren't looking good for them and these issues
37:11
Speaker 6: that we've been discussing tonight are really front of mine,
37:14
Speaker 6: they want to change the story. But thirty and more importantly,
37:18
Speaker 6: that's the behavior of Cols and Woollies themselves. If they
37:22
Speaker 6: had been functioning and looking at their bottom line and
37:27
Speaker 6: getting profits legally and economically for their shareholders, and conducting
37:32
Speaker 6: the business and accordance with proper business principles instead of
37:36
Speaker 6: being into die, instead of being into environmental and social
37:41
Speaker 6: and whatever it is.
37:44
Speaker 2: Esg lens of dollars eat Voice campaign as well, but
37:49
Speaker 2: the government hasn't helped it.
37:51
Speaker 6: If they had been doing their job properly, then they
37:54
Speaker 6: wouldn't be in this mess. But have you notice that
37:57
Speaker 6: the three companies that have got into most trouble with
38:00
Speaker 6: the Voice, Woolies, Corals and Quantas, they'll put a woman
38:03
Speaker 6: in to run it, a bit like the Labor Party
38:06
Speaker 6: put in Carmen Lawrence and put in whatever a name
38:09
Speaker 6: was down there in Victoria. So there's a cynicism around.
38:16
Speaker 6: But I think the main lesson to learn is if
38:19
Speaker 6: you're in business, conduct your business properly. Don't start to
38:23
Speaker 6: look at all sorts of other years and try and
38:26
Speaker 6: suck up and be important and what do you think
38:28
Speaker 6: is the government of the day, And that way you
38:32
Speaker 6: wouldn't get into this sort of bad practice.
38:34
Speaker 3: I think it's a good point. Caleb In said.
38:37
Speaker 2: You know, Bronwin says, instead of wasting money millions of
38:40
Speaker 2: dollars supporting social campaigns, you know, then they wouldn't perhaps
38:44
Speaker 2: have needed to make it up by giving these fake discounts,
38:48
Speaker 2: you know, where they told people that an item had
38:50
Speaker 2: been discounted, whereas in fact it was higher than its
38:52
Speaker 2: original price.
38:54
Speaker 1: It's clearly dodgy, right, And I have no problem with
38:56
Speaker 1: the a Triple C being given more money to go
38:59
Speaker 1: and fight that kind of thing, because that is exactly
39:01
Speaker 1: what the age troop will see ought to be doing.
39:03
Speaker 1: The money is also supposedly going to look at things
39:06
Speaker 1: like opening up more land so you could have more
39:08
Speaker 1: competitors move into space, because currently the supermarkets supposedly engage
39:12
Speaker 1: in land banking where they buy up lands and other
39:15
Speaker 1: people can't move in there. One can't do anything well
39:18
Speaker 1: exactly because it's a state and council issue in terms
39:21
Speaker 1: of planning, right, But this is manner from heaven for
39:25
Speaker 1: the government at the moment. Let's be real about what's
39:28
Speaker 1: going on. The supermarkets have probably engaged in dodgy conduct
39:33
Speaker 1: when it comes to discounting, but when you look at
39:36
Speaker 1: their profit margins, they operate on pretty small profit margins.
39:40
Speaker 1: Large profits because they're big businesses, but their profit margin
39:44
Speaker 1: is quite small. What the government is trying to do
39:47
Speaker 1: here is say, don't worry about us and cost of living. Look,
39:51
Speaker 1: it's those bad supermarkets over there. They're the ones that
39:54
Speaker 1: are causing you to not have any money at the
39:56
Speaker 1: end of the week. It's not really about the supermarkets.
40:00
Speaker 1: One hundred other businesses involved. Before a product gets to
40:02
Speaker 1: the supermarket that leads to prices going up. They're trying
40:05
Speaker 1: to pin the cost of living on the.
40:07
Speaker 2: Superman, ad on the r B, A, RBA and the supermarket,
40:11
Speaker 2: which is hardly right, but it's not entirely true.
40:14
Speaker 1: They're just shifting the blame over there.
40:18
Speaker 2: There's also the picture of the government spending and the
40:20
Speaker 2: other government's actions are high migration numbers that are putting
40:23
Speaker 2: pressure on the cost of living crisis as well. Now
40:26
Speaker 2: let's turn to the US election and Donald Trump has
40:29
Speaker 2: accused Kamala Harris of staging a fake photo that she
40:33
Speaker 2: posted on social media in light of Hurricane Helene. In
40:37
Speaker 2: the photo, as you can see here, Harris is wearing
40:40
Speaker 2: an earphone that isn't attached to the iPhone in front
40:44
Speaker 2: of her. When Trump lasted her on x he wrote,
40:48
Speaker 2: another fake and stage photo from someone who has no
40:51
Speaker 2: clue what she's doing.
40:52
Speaker 3: You have to plug the cord into the phone for
40:56
Speaker 3: it to work, Rodan.
40:58
Speaker 2: That's quite funny, Trump, and funnier than his other insult
41:02
Speaker 2: at Kamala this week, where he basically said she was
41:05
Speaker 2: mentally impained.
41:06
Speaker 3: That was probably too unkind.
41:08
Speaker 6: Well, firstly, I think the fact that this photograph is
41:13
Speaker 6: taken inside an aeroplane. It reminded me very much of
41:16
Speaker 6: the photograph that was taken of George W. Bush when
41:20
Speaker 6: he flew over the results of Katrina down in New
41:26
Speaker 6: Orleans and was shown to be totally and utterly out
41:30
Speaker 6: of touch. Because it was the photograph that was released
41:34
Speaker 6: that was meant to make him look compassionate and showed
41:37
Speaker 6: him to be disengaged.
41:38
Speaker 3: And I got exactly the same.
41:40
Speaker 6: Reaction when I looked at that photograph, And I think
41:42
Speaker 6: that Trump was perfectly entitled to point out that this
41:47
Speaker 6: is a fake photograph. It's a fake message being put across.
41:50
Speaker 3: She didn't go down.
41:51
Speaker 6: She says she's not going down there because she doesn't
41:54
Speaker 6: want to impede first responders.
41:58
Speaker 3: George W. Bush used exactly.
42:00
Speaker 6: The same reason for not going in earlier in twenty fifteen.
42:05
Speaker 6: You'd think with her handlers trying to manage her within
42:09
Speaker 6: an inch of a life, they just might have remembered that,
42:12
Speaker 6: don't you think.
42:13
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, you would say so, especially seeing as they're
42:16
Speaker 2: reportedly Barack Obama's advisors that have come in, so they
42:19
Speaker 2: do have some experience. But Caleb, I want to make
42:21
Speaker 2: the broader point here that I think Donald Trump's in trouble.
42:26
Speaker 2: I think he still hasn't adapted his campaign to face
42:30
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris. He doesn't know how to handle her, and
42:34
Speaker 2: he's resorting to personal taxes all over the place. There's
42:37
Speaker 2: no central campaign strategy.
42:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you certainly flipped the script when Kamala came
42:42
Speaker 1: along as opposed to Biden. I mean, you know, hitting
42:44
Speaker 1: Biden over the head was the easiest job you could
42:46
Speaker 1: possibly have, and the attacks haven't worked to this point.
42:50
Speaker 1: But that's who Trump is, That's how he campaigns, right,
42:54
Speaker 1: So that's not going to change overnight. What really matters
42:57
Speaker 1: is less what's he saying about Kamala and a mental impairment.
43:02
Speaker 1: I mean, look, she wasn't mentally confident enough to realize
43:04
Speaker 1: that the phone was not plugged into the headphones in
43:06
Speaker 1: the photo. So we may have a point there. It
43:10
Speaker 1: will come down.
43:13
Speaker 3: She might, it may not be a genius.
43:15
Speaker 1: No, I think that is that is that is correct.
43:17
Speaker 1: Maybe that headphone is actually plugged into another device with
43:21
Speaker 1: the people telling her what to actually.
43:22
Speaker 2: Say it was plugged densman iPad Biden's handlers.
43:25
Speaker 1: But it as to the broader point of Trump being
43:28
Speaker 1: in trouble, he is in trouble to a degree. But
43:30
Speaker 1: forget about the national polls. It's all about those swing states, right,
43:36
Speaker 1: and the polling is all over the shop When it
43:38
Speaker 1: comes to those swing states. He's still very much in
43:41
Speaker 1: the race. It's just not as much in the race
43:42
Speaker 1: as he was when when Trump was there.
43:44
Speaker 2: IM mean, his campaign is in trouble. He doesn't know
43:46
Speaker 2: how to fight o'bronwin.
43:48
Speaker 6: I don't agree with that. He's just been what he
43:50
Speaker 6: is Trump and getting out there and fighting on his issues.
43:54
Speaker 6: And I think that it's a curious way that the
43:58
Speaker 6: people have been close to him and become commentators on
44:02
Speaker 6: him or say, oh, he's making mistake. Oh he's doing
44:04
Speaker 6: this in doing the work for the Democrats in a way,
44:08
Speaker 6: So I think that's quite pointless.
44:10
Speaker 3: He is being what he is.
44:12
Speaker 6: He's saying, I'm a businessman, I can run the place.
44:15
Speaker 6: I'll get you out of trouble. The country was in
44:18
Speaker 6: much better position when I was president before. Now come
44:21
Speaker 6: with me again and please turn out and please turn
44:25
Speaker 6: up to start policing that the voting procedures are in
44:31
Speaker 6: fact proper.
44:32
Speaker 1: All right, and this keeps him in the headlines.
44:35
Speaker 2: We've only got a couple of minutes left and I
44:37
Speaker 2: still want to get to two topics. So Caleb, I
44:39
Speaker 2: want to ask you about this reporting that's unfolding in
44:43
Speaker 2: the Herald on the COVID pandemic, on how policy health
44:46
Speaker 2: officials overlooked the impacts on mental health and social cohesion
44:50
Speaker 2: and that's obvious, isn't it.
44:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean blind Freddie could have seen that, and
44:54
Speaker 1: the Herald's got together a group of people including Mick
44:57
Speaker 1: Fuller and Linda Scott and others who were involved in
45:00
Speaker 1: certain levels of oversight over COVID at the time.
45:05
Speaker 11: We know that.
45:06
Speaker 1: I mean everyone could see that at the time, but
45:10
Speaker 1: everyone persisted with the same policies that they started with
45:13
Speaker 1: in March twenty twenty.
45:15
Speaker 2: All right, let's turn to Tony Burke. I know Brannwin
45:19
Speaker 2: wants to have USA and Tony Burke he was asked
45:21
Speaker 2: on radio this morning about the appointment of an envoy
45:25
Speaker 2: for Islamophobia.
45:26
Speaker 3: Have a listened to what he had to say.
45:29
Speaker 7: If you go to who is the person most likely
45:32
Speaker 7: to be targeted for abuse in Australia right now, it's
45:36
Speaker 7: an Islamic woman wearing hay shirt and voy.
45:39
Speaker 2: I should say not envoy and islamophobia and voice so
45:42
Speaker 2: bron when he's saying the person in Australia most likely
45:45
Speaker 2: to be targeted is a Muslim woman in a hej
45:48
Speaker 2: app Here's a disgrace.
45:50
Speaker 3: He's just a disgrace.
45:53
Speaker 6: Look. I went down to Melbourne a couple of months ago,
45:57
Speaker 6: and I went to address a group of Jewish people.
46:03
Speaker 6: To get into that venue, there was a big gate
46:06
Speaker 6: that had to be opened, and somebody indicating we could
46:10
Speaker 6: drive in. The gate had to be shut. Then there
46:13
Speaker 6: were bollards that had to be put down and a
46:15
Speaker 6: barrier had to.
46:16
Speaker 3: Be raised up.
46:17
Speaker 6: This was the security that was needed for these people
46:21
Speaker 6: to have safety. How on earth can that man make
46:25
Speaker 6: such a statement when there are people who are quivering
46:28
Speaker 6: every day, frightened for their kids at school, not putting
46:32
Speaker 6: them in school uniforms, not letting them be identified as
46:36
Speaker 6: being Jewish because they're terrified. But what's going to happen
46:39
Speaker 6: to them? Only a man as insensitive as Tony Burke,
46:43
Speaker 6: and a look at his history you can just see
46:46
Speaker 6: what a slippery character he is. But to have sold
46:49
Speaker 6: his soul to the degree he has where he will
46:53
Speaker 6: not recognize that anti Semitism is rife in this country
46:57
Speaker 6: right now, and that all he can say is that
47:00
Speaker 6: really it doesn't exist, because I am looking after my patch,
47:04
Speaker 6: to look after my seat and the adjoining seats.
47:06
Speaker 3: It's not good enough.
47:08
Speaker 6: The Labor Party's leadership is pathetically weak. It is Albanese's
47:12
Speaker 6: fault that there's going to be a planned demonstration on
47:17
Speaker 6: the occasion of the seventh of October. And he chooses
47:20
Speaker 6: to make this announcement today when in fact there are
47:23
Speaker 6: people going to court to try and stop it happening.
47:26
Speaker 3: What sort of a government is this?
47:28
Speaker 2: He is living in an alternate first Bronman, Bishop Kyle Bond,
47:32
Speaker 2: thank you.
47:33
Speaker 3: Now.
47:33
Speaker 2: After the break, some major news about next week's program.
47:37
Speaker 2: Don't miss the details. Well, on Monday, it will be
47:44
Speaker 2: one year since the October seven attacks. It'll be a
47:47
Speaker 2: very significant and emotional day. One year that Israel has
47:51
Speaker 2: been at war trying to bring its people, the hostages home.
47:56
Speaker 2: One year since baby Kafir and his brother Ariel napped.
48:00
Speaker 2: They haven't been visited by the Red Cross or any
48:03
Speaker 2: of the aid agencies. Well, to mark this momentous occasion,
48:09
Speaker 2: the one year on from the anniversary of the worst
48:11
Speaker 2: loss of life on the Jewish community, I will be
48:14
Speaker 2: live from Israel. I'll be reporting on the war against
48:18
Speaker 2: Hesblah and hosting my nightly program from Israel. So don't
48:22
Speaker 2: miss any shows next week at eight o'clock. I'm going
48:26
Speaker 2: to bring you the heartfelt emotional stories, also big political interviews.
48:31
Speaker 2: It's going to be an emotional time for all of us,
48:34
Speaker 2: especially as we watch on in horror at what's unfolding
48:37
Speaker 2: on our streets.
48:38
Speaker 3: I'll be off until then.
48:40
Speaker 2: It's the Jewish New Year tomorrow, so the next time
48:42
Speaker 2: I see you Monday at eight pm will be from Israel.
48:46
Speaker 3: Shahnatova and here's Pomari
