- 0:00Speaker 1: Late Welcome to the Late Up Brads. Good evening and
- 0:07Speaker 1: welcome to the program. I'm Caleb Bond with Liz Storer
- 0:10Speaker 1: and Joe hildebrand Well. One council wants to charge double
- 0:14Speaker 1: rates for investors with rental properties. Will tell you where
- 0:18Speaker 1: a little bit later. One AFL grade says that we
- 0:21Speaker 1: should not refer to concussions but instead brain injuries. We'll
- 0:25Speaker 1: get to that in the papers, and also the story
- 0:27Speaker 1: of the copper who tried to get his colleague son
- 0:30Speaker 1: out of court and instead landed himself in court. But
- 0:34Speaker 1: first we told you the story last year of a
- 0:37Speaker 1: playground in Collingwood in Melbourne that was given a two
- 0:41Speaker 1: million dollar upgrade. Now this is what the playground looked
- 0:44Speaker 1: like before the upgrade. You can see here plenty of
- 0:48Speaker 1: play equipment, they got the slippery dip. It all looks
- 0:50Speaker 1: quite fine. I'm not sure why you need a two
- 0:52Speaker 1: million dollar upgrade to that thing, but this is what
- 0:55Speaker 1: they got for their two million dollars. I don't think
- 0:59Speaker 1: you would argue that that was an improvement. And it
- 1:03Speaker 1: would seem that the council that covers Collingwood, which is
- 1:07Speaker 1: Yarreck Council, which we have told you about many times. Ah, yeah,
- 1:10Speaker 1: it a Greens dominated council. Well they've woken up and
- 1:13Speaker 1: realized that for the two million dollars they spend, they
- 1:16Speaker 1: didn't really get anything better. So what they're going to
- 1:18Speaker 1: do now is spend two hundred and fifty thousand dollars
- 1:21Speaker 1: more to actually put some play equipment back in the place.
- 1:25Speaker 1: Can you believe it. They're going to get a slide.
- 1:27Speaker 1: They had a slide before, but they're going to get
- 1:30Speaker 1: a slide. They're going to get a four way rocker,
- 1:32Speaker 1: They're going to get a mini trampoline, amongst other things.
- 1:36Speaker 1: You know, isn't it great when councils sit down and
- 1:39Speaker 1: work out we can really improve this place. Then they
- 1:41Speaker 1: don't improve the place, and then they have to spend
- 1:43Speaker 1: more money to improve it even further. This is what
- 1:46Speaker 1: some local residents thought of it at the time.
- 1:50Speaker 2: It looked very prison like.
- 1:51Speaker 3: I thought they'd be a little bit more for the
- 1:52Speaker 3: little ones.
- 1:52Speaker 1: They've delivered possibly the worst playground in Victoria. Except for
- 1:57Speaker 1: this bloke who seem to think is good.
- 2:02Speaker 4: I think it's an improvement. We did ask for some
- 2:05Speaker 4: a bigger space. We have got a bigger space. I
- 2:09Speaker 4: know that's not a play equipment. But parks aren't just
- 2:14Speaker 4: for little children. Did you just miss gender.
- 2:19Speaker 1: Orry into that last I don't know exactly.
- 2:26Speaker 3: I don't know she's a woman exactly, because she's exactly Honestly,
- 2:30Speaker 3: you are very quite quite right.
- 2:33Speaker 5: You don't even know her pronounce.
- 2:35Speaker 1: I'm glad, I'm glad we've got Joseph in me. But anyway,
- 2:39Speaker 1: so two million dollars to upgrade the thing, two hundred
- 2:43Speaker 1: and fifty one thousand dollars to actually upgrade the thing
- 2:46Speaker 1: again and put back the play equipment that they took away.
- 2:48Speaker 1: One thing they're not going to take away, though, is
- 2:51Speaker 1: this artwork. Now take a look at this and tell
- 2:54Speaker 1: me whether you can make sense of what it is.
- 2:56Speaker 1: Apparently they're flying jumpers. You know what that cost? Two
- 3:01Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars. So here we are at two million,
- 3:05Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty thousand dollars for a playground that
- 3:08Speaker 1: didn't need to be upgraded in the first place, then
- 3:11Speaker 1: got destroyed. Now they're going to put the play equipment
- 3:13Speaker 1: back in it. It has a two hundred thousand dollars
- 3:15Speaker 1: money that no wond els, no wonder councils are so
- 3:21Speaker 1: trusted and revered and lovely, so no wonder.
- 3:24Speaker 6: Our raids are going through the roof. They're just bleeding
- 3:27Speaker 6: it out. It was also the Yarra Council.
- 3:30Speaker 7: You may remember what we dubbed the Demonic Banana.
- 3:33Speaker 6: That was also the Yarra Council.
- 3:35Speaker 7: That thing was twenty thousand dollars and most residents were
- 3:38Speaker 7: happy when someone took a chainsaw to it and tried
- 3:42Speaker 7: to get rid of the thing because it was just
- 3:44Speaker 7: so done ugly.
- 3:45Speaker 6: They'd call it fallen Fruit.
- 3:48Speaker 7: That was its official name, and it was supposed to be,
- 3:50Speaker 7: you know, a massive contribution to the part. But people
- 3:54Speaker 7: are sick of these ugly things, right. I love the
- 3:57Speaker 7: woman who called it prison like because.
- 3:59Speaker 6: That's exactly what it is.
- 4:01Speaker 7: We're not getting value for money. How hard is it
- 4:04Speaker 7: to just stop spending our money on ugly things?
- 4:07Speaker 6: Where's the artwork.
- 4:08Speaker 7: That lifts the human spirit? A thing of beauty is
- 4:12Speaker 7: a joy forever. It's not that hard. If something is
- 4:16Speaker 7: objectively beautiful and adds to the space and people.
- 4:21Speaker 3: Look or sky whale, yes, look, you're right, it does.
- 4:29Speaker 3: You know, it does look like a prison yard. But
- 4:31Speaker 3: you know, playgrounds aren't just about having fun. They're also
- 4:34Speaker 3: about learning, and if the playground doesn't look like a
- 4:38Speaker 3: prison yard, how are the kids going to learn how
- 4:40Speaker 3: to make shives?
- 4:42Speaker 1: But seriously, two million dollars on something like that, And
- 4:45Speaker 1: this is what annoys me about it the most. You know,
- 4:48Speaker 1: we're having a lot of.
- 4:48Speaker 6: That kids with shoes.
- 4:52Speaker 1: She was promised a good day out and she got
- 4:54Speaker 1: a you know, absolutely no.
- 4:55Speaker 7: Maybe it is an educational facility. They take their kids
- 4:58Speaker 7: to the park and say, look, if you don't I
- 5:00Speaker 7: don't want to end up in a place like this,
- 5:01Speaker 7: make sure you don't commit crime education.
- 5:04Speaker 3: Say hi, kids, this is a park designed by Joseph Stalin.
- 5:07Speaker 1: That's right, But how does something like that cost two
- 5:10Speaker 1: million dollars? Because we're having a laugh at how ridiculousy
- 5:13Speaker 1: on the past, Like, seriously, I think that costs two
- 5:16Speaker 1: million dollars to destroy the playground. Then they go on
- 5:19Speaker 1: later and go, oh, hang on, we probably shouldn't have
- 5:21Speaker 1: taken all that play equipment out, so we've got to
- 5:23Speaker 1: spend another two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to bring
- 5:26Speaker 1: it back up to scratch, Like it's all good and well,
- 5:28Speaker 1: it's not their money, it's your money. It's rate payers money,
- 5:32Speaker 1: and so they spend two million.
- 5:33Speaker 3: Ah, no problem, We're two million on the park as
- 5:36Speaker 3: a whole, but only forty thousand dollars on the actual playground,
- 5:40Speaker 3: which makes me think that maybe that nice little old
- 5:42Speaker 3: man slash lady isn't the only one who hates children
- 5:45Speaker 3: in the City of yar account still, but by my calculations,
- 5:49Speaker 3: if that playground is forty thousand dollars and the jumper
- 5:52Speaker 3: installation art two one hundred thousand dollars, that means these
- 5:56Speaker 3: people value jumpers five times as much as they value children,
- 6:00Speaker 3: not even not.
- 6:01Speaker 1: Even real joupers that they could give to homeless people.
- 6:03Speaker 1: I mean, ky for some real jumpers in Melbourne would
- 6:08Speaker 1: probably go quite fast. But I just want to know again,
- 6:11Speaker 1: I've said this many times. I want to get hold
- 6:13Speaker 1: of these government contracts, like I'm going to moonlight with
- 6:17Speaker 1: some sort of company that can do everything, and I'm
- 6:20Speaker 1: going to get a government contract for two million dollars
- 6:22Speaker 1: to upgrade parks like that and install public artworks like
- 6:26Speaker 1: that for like two hundred kio million.
- 6:29Speaker 7: And it looks like they ripped out all the trees
- 6:31Speaker 7: because the four photo.
- 6:37Speaker 6: The new one, there's not a bit of shade in space.
- 6:39Speaker 6: I mean, look at that, that looks beautiful. Where where's
- 6:44Speaker 6: the trees in this photo? There's some sickly looking branch
- 6:47Speaker 6: in there shot, but there's no green leafage, whereas even
- 6:51Speaker 6: the grass, the grass is gone. You've made two million
- 6:55Speaker 6: dollars to.
- 6:56Speaker 1: Get rid of the grass, So you're saying this is
- 6:58Speaker 1: bad for the environment. The Greens women garat Council hate
- 7:02Speaker 1: the environment. They hate children, they hate play equipment, and
- 7:05Speaker 1: they hate the environment.
- 7:09Speaker 3: I would seriously be saying, all right, no, these aren't
- 7:12Speaker 3: native trees, they're from their imperialist trees. We'll get rid
- 7:16Speaker 3: of them and put to navy. They do it. They
- 7:18Speaker 3: actually do this, at least in Sydney. We do the
- 7:20Speaker 3: decent thing. Just spike the trees. And when we're giving
- 7:24Speaker 3: away government contract, we don't waste money on you know,
- 7:27Speaker 3: people coming in and ripping up playgrounds and then reinstalling
- 7:30Speaker 3: them and then ripping the reinstaller.
- 7:32Speaker 5: We just get our cousins to do it.
- 7:35Speaker 6: Well.
- 7:36Speaker 7: Moving on now, Yesterday the Circuit and Family Court heard
- 7:40Speaker 7: from a doctor who's arguing that despite the fact this
- 7:44Speaker 7: gender dysphoric child, which has landed this case in the
- 7:47Speaker 7: court thought that by being on testosterone she would grow
- 7:54Speaker 7: a penis.
- 7:55Speaker 6: He argues, no, No, she's still.
- 7:58Speaker 7: Able to show mature thinking in the area of gender.
- 8:02Speaker 7: How do you figure that when the prosecutor then argued, well,
- 8:07Speaker 7: hang on a.
- 8:07Speaker 6: Minute, doctor, don't you think that once she discovers that
- 8:12Speaker 6: these drugs.
- 8:13Speaker 7: That you're giving her will not will never have the
- 8:17Speaker 7: desired effect. Don't you think that that will further make
- 8:20Speaker 7: her mental condition rather unstable?
- 8:25Speaker 6: The answer from.
- 8:25Speaker 7: The doctor goes testosterone will cause masculinization, which is what
- 8:31Speaker 7: the child would want, which would see an improvement of
- 8:34Speaker 7: mental health and a decrease in distress about being misgendered
- 8:39Speaker 7: or outed. The article goes on to say the court
- 8:42Speaker 7: heard the child told a separate clinician she believed testosterone
- 8:46Speaker 7: would grow her clitoress into a penis, but she would
- 8:51Speaker 7: not be able to penetrate with it.
- 8:54Speaker 6: I've said it before, I'll say it again. These doctors belong.
- 8:59Speaker 7: Behind I would say hell, but I don't get to
- 9:02Speaker 7: decide that, so I'll settle for behind bars.
- 9:05Speaker 6: The butchery that is happening.
- 9:07Speaker 7: The question is why is Australia dragging its feet as
- 9:12Speaker 7: we see jurisdiction after jurisdiction overseas sound the alarm on this.
- 9:18Speaker 7: Most recently in March, the UK declared, effective immediately, there
- 9:24Speaker 7: would be no more gender transitioning for children, no more
- 9:28Speaker 7: puberty blockers, no more testosterone handed out to kids.
- 9:33Speaker 6: I know.
- 9:36Speaker 7: The Danes have done the same, the several other jurisdictions,
- 9:40Speaker 7: plenty of other governments have inquiries underway. You remember when
- 9:44Speaker 7: Senator Pauline Hanson tried to get up and inquiry into
- 9:50Speaker 7: what is going on here, because we've now heard from
- 9:52Speaker 7: several whistleblow adoptors here in Australia who have then been
- 9:57Speaker 7: stood down or otherwise penalized in their practice saying this
- 10:02Speaker 7: whole gender affirming care is nonsense. We have depressed the
- 10:07Speaker 7: brakes on this and they're just being completely ignored and
- 10:11Speaker 7: even punished for saying.
- 10:13Speaker 1: So.
- 10:13Speaker 7: Good on you doctors, very brave for speaking out despite
- 10:16Speaker 7: the gost.
- 10:17Speaker 6: You know you're going to be forced to pay for it.
- 10:20Speaker 7: They care about the kids more, and yet here in
- 10:23Speaker 7: Australia we're just not seeing the same precaution being taken,
- 10:28Speaker 7: even if it's like let's temporarily pump the brakes.
- 10:32Speaker 6: Look into this a bit further. What was the Cast Review.
- 10:36Speaker 6: What was in the Cast Review.
- 10:37Speaker 7: That literally made the UK government turn around and say
- 10:41Speaker 7: NHS wide, no more of this, We're done.
- 10:45Speaker 1: And there was an attempt by Frank Pangelo Upper House
- 10:48Speaker 1: INMP in South Australia to have a similar inquiry parliamentary
- 10:51Speaker 1: inquiry in South Australia and melanowskis and the Labor Government
- 10:55Speaker 1: knock that on the head down there as well. And
- 10:57Speaker 1: you look at this case, this chart well clearly does
- 11:01Speaker 1: not have a full understanding of what gender transition actually entails. Indeed,
- 11:07Speaker 1: and you have a case here of two parents who
- 11:10Speaker 1: are on differing sides of this debate. So one parent
- 11:13Speaker 1: says that they support their child in going through with
- 11:18Speaker 1: treatment and the other parent has said, no, you will
- 11:20Speaker 1: grow out of it.
- 11:21Speaker 6: And that's seventy percent of kids do.
- 11:24Speaker 1: And this is how it's landed in court because they're
- 11:27Speaker 1: having a dispute over what course the child should be
- 11:29Speaker 1: allowed to take and for a doctor and all of
- 11:32Speaker 1: this the details are suppressed, so you know, we're quite
- 11:35Speaker 1: free to talk about this as a court case. For
- 11:38Speaker 1: a doctor to get up and say, oh, look, you know,
- 11:42Speaker 1: I know that she doesn't really understand what the drugs
- 11:45Speaker 1: would do, but I think it would be good for
- 11:48Speaker 1: her anyway on the road to becoming a man or
- 11:52Speaker 1: trying to become a man. Anyway, if a child, and
- 11:55Speaker 1: we know children have a bad understanding of many things
- 11:58Speaker 1: most times, do we persist with this idea that it
- 12:02Speaker 1: is okay and that they are able to grasp a
- 12:05Speaker 1: concept as complex and dangerous potentially and burniness and say
- 12:11Speaker 1: that that's fine. Like if how does a doctor actually
- 12:15Speaker 1: stand there in a courtroom and say, I think it's
- 12:18Speaker 1: a good idea for a kid who doesn't really understand
- 12:20Speaker 1: this medication to be taken.
- 12:22Speaker 3: Yeah, I've got to say I find this very very disturbing.
- 12:25Speaker 3: It raises more questions than it answers. I think, for
- 12:28Speaker 3: one thing, we don't know the age of the child,
- 12:30Speaker 3: so you know, to me, not to have an understanding
- 12:34Speaker 3: of what testosterone.
- 12:36Speaker 5: Would do, and to think that it would just make.
- 12:39Speaker 3: You sort of spontaneously grow literally grow a pair, grow
- 12:43Speaker 3: a pair, I would think you would have to be
- 12:45Speaker 3: either very very young or have some serious mental issues,
- 12:51Speaker 3: which perhaps you know. Again, raises another avenue of inquiry
- 12:55Speaker 3: for this, the fact that the parents are disagreeing over this.
- 13:00Speaker 3: It's a pretty big thing. To disagree on.
- 13:02Speaker 5: Isn't it whether your child is a boy or a girl.
- 13:06Speaker 3: That makes me think it's quite difficult to imagine the
- 13:08Speaker 3: parents together still, And so therefore, is this a case
- 13:12Speaker 3: where the kid is being pulled in two different directions
- 13:15Speaker 3: by parents who are fighting with each other, and the
- 13:18Speaker 3: kid is kind of being it's really diserving. And I
- 13:21Speaker 3: think certainly if you look at the sort of hypocritic
- 13:23Speaker 3: Earth principle, which is, you know, first do no harm,
- 13:27Speaker 3: this seems to be you know, you would think. And
- 13:30Speaker 3: again I think there are cases where clearly people are
- 13:33Speaker 3: born in a genda. I know people who are clearly
- 13:36Speaker 3: born in agenda. They don't hear, but it is extremely rare,
- 13:40Speaker 3: and this kind of stuff does not seem to me
- 13:42Speaker 3: to be taking the ultra cautious approach and making sure
- 13:46Speaker 3: that you are first doing no harm, that you are
- 13:48Speaker 3: absolutely one hundred percent sure that this is, you know,
- 13:51Speaker 3: a boy trapped in a girl's body or a girl
- 13:53Speaker 3: trapped in a boy's body. So this, yeah, And to
- 13:56Speaker 3: be honest, this this kind of attitude that the doctor
- 14:00Speaker 3: it seems to have expressed, is the sort of thing
- 14:02Speaker 3: my wife works.
- 14:03Speaker 5: Forquirded in Australia.
- 14:04Speaker 3: So she's publicly you know, supportive of trans riots, so
- 14:09Speaker 3: just to declare that as a conflict of interest. But
- 14:13Speaker 3: this sort of thing, I would think does far more
- 14:16Speaker 3: harm to cause than good. And so people think they're
- 14:19Speaker 3: out there, Oh yeah, we're just going to you know,
- 14:21Speaker 3: we'll show the world how prevalent it is, and you know,
- 14:24Speaker 3: give all people, you know, the benefit of the doubt
- 14:27Speaker 3: on their gender and whatever they say will just accept
- 14:29Speaker 3: and be gender affirming care is what they call it
- 14:33Speaker 3: when it comes to things like this. I think that
- 14:35Speaker 3: is actually making people think, hang on, these guys are
- 14:37Speaker 3: just cowboys, making it up as they go along.
- 14:39Speaker 1: And this is the distinction, right. I mean, you're an adult,
- 14:42Speaker 1: do what you want. It's really none of my business.
- 14:45Speaker 1: But when you are talking about children who of course
- 14:48Speaker 1: don't have full mental capacity yet who under law are
- 14:52Speaker 1: not allowed to do most things. They can't drink, they
- 14:54Speaker 1: can't go off to war, etc. And somehow we think
- 14:57Speaker 1: that they are capable to make decisions, doable decisions about
- 15:01Speaker 1: their bodies in terms of trying to gender transition. Have
- 15:05Speaker 1: listened to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis talking about this following
- 15:10Speaker 1: a recent court case in his state in the United States.
- 15:14Speaker 8: Because it's wrong to mutilate minors.
- 15:17Speaker 5: It is wrong.
- 15:21Speaker 8: It is wrong to perform a sex change on a
- 15:25Speaker 8: sixteen year old. You're not allowed to get a tattoo,
- 15:29Speaker 8: but somehow you can have your privates cut off.
- 15:32Speaker 5: Give me a break. This is wrong.
- 15:36Speaker 1: And we've just been so slow, as you were suggesting
- 15:38Speaker 1: earlier and Liz to get on the uptake on this
- 15:42Speaker 1: because the rest of the world is starting to wake up.
- 15:44Speaker 5: To you can't have surgery in Australia.
- 15:47Speaker 1: You can't have surgery, but you can have other treatment
- 15:51Speaker 1: via medica that you know the.
- 15:54Speaker 7: Development not And there's been a lot of people inquiring
- 15:58Speaker 7: are you actually telling the kids that this can have
- 16:01Speaker 7: permanent results, because the myth about puberty blockers is oh,
- 16:05Speaker 7: we're just going to press pause on puberty. That's not
- 16:09Speaker 7: how your body works. And a lot of the times
- 16:13Speaker 7: what this drug does is permanent. So you're not asking
- 16:17Speaker 7: a child are you prepared to be sterile for the
- 16:20Speaker 7: rest of your life, because that is one of the
- 16:23Speaker 7: side effects that can come from this and many studies
- 16:26Speaker 7: show that. And when you have something as comprehensive as
- 16:30Speaker 7: the cast review in the UK that says, quote, not
- 16:36Speaker 7: enough evidence to support the safety or clinical effectiveness of
- 16:40Speaker 7: these hormones end quote. Why isn't Australia state or federally
- 16:46Speaker 7: going well, hang on a minute, maybe we should do
- 16:49Speaker 7: a double take as well.
- 16:50Speaker 6: It is pure negligence. It is pure negligence.
- 16:55Speaker 7: And at a time when we know that the cases
- 16:59Speaker 7: of gender desire euphoria have risen hundreds of fold in
- 17:04Speaker 7: Australia because of the social contagion, this is being sold
- 17:09Speaker 7: to kids on social media and other avenues. It's seen
- 17:12Speaker 7: as something that should be celebrated.
- 17:14Speaker 6: It sets you apart.
- 17:16Speaker 7: It's an identity that you can easily adopt, etc.
- 17:19Speaker 6: And so on.
- 17:21Speaker 7: This is the time when we have to be so
- 17:24Speaker 7: vigilant about something like this, and nobody except.
- 17:27Speaker 6: For the brave doctors who have had the gonads to
- 17:30Speaker 6: speak up about it seems to care.
- 17:32Speaker 1: And it's a duty of care to the kids, right.
- 17:35Speaker 1: And then you go beyond that and look at adults
- 17:38Speaker 1: who are transgender. And when we get to things like sport,
- 17:41Speaker 1: we often talk about fairness and of course you know
- 17:44Speaker 1: you have biological women and potentially competing against biological men
- 17:48Speaker 1: who now say they are a woman. Going hang on
- 17:50Speaker 1: a minute, this is not fair over here. And FEENA,
- 17:53Speaker 1: which is the World Swimming body, woke up to this
- 17:55Speaker 1: back in twenty twenty two and they made a decision
- 17:58Speaker 1: that biological men who transition to women will not be
- 18:01Speaker 1: able to compete at a professional level, and rightly so.
- 18:05Speaker 1: But because one of the most famous transgender swimmers in
- 18:08Speaker 1: the world is Lea Thomas from the United States. Now,
- 18:11Speaker 1: Lea Thomas is a man ranked in the mid five
- 18:14Speaker 1: hundreds in the US. Best result ever was sixty fifth
- 18:19Speaker 1: in a race, then transitions to a woman and wins
- 18:22Speaker 1: a college title. So you're quite entitled to ask the question, well,
- 18:26Speaker 1: maybe do you have an advantage here? Well, following the
- 18:29Speaker 1: decision that was made by Leah, Thomas went off to
- 18:32Speaker 1: the Court of Arbitration for Sport to try and get
- 18:35Speaker 1: the ability to compete in the Olympics. Well, I'm glad
- 18:38Speaker 1: to report that the Court of Arbitration for Sport has
- 18:41Speaker 1: come back and said, no, the FENA rules stand. You
- 18:44Speaker 1: are not allowed to compete because it is entirely legitimate
- 18:49Speaker 1: to say that a transgender athlete has an advantage over
- 18:53Speaker 1: a biological woman. Former swimming champ from Britain, Sharon Davies
- 18:58Speaker 1: lauded the decision today said good no elite female athlete
- 19:02Speaker 1: will have to lose out to this mediocre six foot
- 19:05Speaker 1: four male swimmer. Transgender swimm lead Thomas out of Olympics,
- 19:09Speaker 1: out to losing legal battle, et cetera, et cetera. Kate Campbell,
- 19:13Speaker 1: of course, is an Australian swimmer, spoke about this decision
- 19:16Speaker 1: from Feena back in twenty twenty two, and I think
- 19:19Speaker 1: her comments then stand just as much now.
- 19:22Speaker 2: It is my hope that young girls all around the
- 19:25Speaker 2: world can continue to dream of becoming Olympic and World
- 19:28Speaker 2: champions in a female category, prioritizing the competitive cornerstone of fairness.
- 19:35Speaker 1: And thank goodness the court has upheld this because it's
- 19:38Speaker 1: the first test of a rule like this, and I
- 19:41Speaker 1: think it now sets the president that should be followed
- 19:44Speaker 1: by every sporting league around the world, which is that,
- 19:47Speaker 1: at the very least, at the professional level, transgender athlete,
- 19:51Speaker 1: transgender women, biological men should not be competing against biological women.
- 19:56Speaker 3: Yeah, you would think so. I've really sort of I
- 20:00Speaker 3: need to get my head around this one, because you've
- 20:02Speaker 3: sort of there needs to be Oh no, no, obviously
- 20:04Speaker 3: it's crazy for someone with you know, someone who's gone
- 20:07Speaker 3: through male puberty, who clearly was a competitive swimmer as
- 20:10Speaker 3: a man, wasn't doing very well and then miraculously reappears,
- 20:13Speaker 3: which you can.
- 20:13Speaker 7: See if I believe we've got some footage of Lega
- 20:17Speaker 7: Thomas here.
- 20:19Speaker 6: I mean you can.
- 20:20Speaker 1: The The.
- 20:22Speaker 7: Problem becomes very clear just upon sizing up someone's physicality ye.
- 20:29Speaker 5: Again, think.
- 20:33Speaker 7: Him and celebrating his win next to women who looked
- 20:36Speaker 7: like midgets next to him.
- 20:37Speaker 6: I'll never forget that graphic. Yeah, I remember it very plainly.
- 20:41Speaker 5: I remember it very well.
- 20:41Speaker 3: But again, you know, obviously there's a huge discrepancy within
- 20:46Speaker 3: men and within women. Like you know, you can have
- 20:48Speaker 3: a seven foot basketball player who is going to be
- 20:51Speaker 3: much better than a five foot bus and yet.
- 20:53Speaker 7: We can't name one trans man who's trying to compete
- 20:56Speaker 7: with men because they know it's all it's.
- 21:00Speaker 6: Always the men who want to play with the women.
- 21:03Speaker 6: It's always the men.
- 21:05Speaker 1: Maybe they should just write the men.
- 21:07Speaker 5: Maybe they should just be male female other.
- 21:10Speaker 6: I agree.
- 21:15Speaker 7: They said let's have an open category so they can still.
- 21:18Speaker 5: Let's make it happen.
- 21:19Speaker 6: They can compete with each other.
- 21:20Speaker 3: Let's make it happen well, because it hasn't They've just
- 21:23Speaker 3: that was just one thing that was suggested.
- 21:24Speaker 5: But look, it should and I think they should where
- 21:27Speaker 5: you can take all the steroids you want.
- 21:28Speaker 1: But well they're actually doing doing that. The what are
- 21:33Speaker 1: they call it, the enhanced games? I cannot wait to
- 21:36Speaker 1: s you.
- 21:36Speaker 3: Could put them age, you could have the enhanced trans game.
- 21:40Speaker 5: Oh my god, we could do whatever you are really poss.
- 21:47Speaker 1: But it's also I think the arrogance of someone like
- 21:49Speaker 1: Leah Thomas to then say, okay, that the decision has
- 21:52Speaker 1: been made and I'm now still going to push at
- 21:56Speaker 1: every opportunity to be able to swim in the pool
- 21:59Speaker 1: with biologue women like get the message, buddy, you're not
- 22:03Speaker 1: welcome here because we're talking about fairness. And I know
- 22:06Speaker 1: the point you raise that there is vast difference between
- 22:09Speaker 1: various women and various men, But the line has to
- 22:12Speaker 1: be drawn somewhere, and every scrap of evidence, every piece
- 22:16Speaker 1: of data you can look at, shows very clearly that
- 22:19Speaker 1: the average swim times of biological women do not stack
- 22:24Speaker 1: up to the average swim times of biological men competitively,
- 22:27Speaker 1: like the men beat women in every single category of swimming. Ever,
- 22:32Speaker 1: every world record held in swimming by a man is
- 22:35Speaker 1: faster than the equivalent world record held by a biological
- 22:38Speaker 1: woman through the.
- 22:45Speaker 5: Room.
- 22:47Speaker 1: Look there is something where we were going. There are
- 22:50Speaker 1: some fan all women. Imagine if we banned women's tennis.
- 22:56Speaker 1: I quite like watching the women's tennis because it is
- 22:58Speaker 1: an example of where the women I don't watch it.
- 23:03Speaker 1: I enjoy women's tennis.
- 23:04Speaker 6: They never make it to five three, and I reckon they.
- 23:08Speaker 1: Should make them play five sets. I'll tell you the
- 23:10Speaker 1: others what's wrong with that. The other sport I quite
- 23:13Speaker 1: enjoy is women's golf, and again, the women's swings are shorter,
- 23:18Speaker 1: their drives are shorter than the men. But watching women's
- 23:21Speaker 1: golf is basically imperceptible to men's golf, except that the
- 23:25Speaker 1: drives a little bit shorter. So there are examples where
- 23:28Speaker 1: women's sport can be just as good as men's sport.
- 23:31Speaker 1: Others like a fl that I think pretty well.
- 23:33Speaker 3: There's no one sport I really like. I don't know
- 23:35Speaker 3: if you guys are into it is male netball.
- 23:37Speaker 1: I've never watched male netball. It's actually not at a
- 23:46Speaker 1: professional level. But there are, like there are men's a
- 23:50Speaker 1: few community community grow you might have to go and
- 23:54Speaker 1: play some of that men's netball to take your mind
- 23:56Speaker 1: off the cost of housing in this country at the moment.
- 23:58Speaker 1: We've got a list today of the most expensive or
- 24:02Speaker 1: the most unaffordable cities for housing in the English speaking world,
- 24:06Speaker 1: and can you believe it? Side note, Yes you can
- 24:09Speaker 1: that three of the cities in the top ten in Australia.
- 24:14Speaker 1: Hong Kong was the number one most unaffordable city in
- 24:17Speaker 1: the English speaking world, but it then goes second Sydney.
- 24:20Speaker 1: What a surprise. It says on the screen that Adelaide's
- 24:23Speaker 1: the first. It's not, but will ignore it ninth, So Sydney,
- 24:31Speaker 1: Melbourne is seventh, Adelaide is ninth and Brisbane is thirteenth.
- 24:35Speaker 1: So in the top fifteen cities in the world with
- 24:37Speaker 1: the most unaffordable housing, Australia has four of them. Anglicare
- 24:44Speaker 1: Australia Executive Director Casey Chambers spoke exactly not the singer
- 24:48Speaker 1: don't think, but I kind of wish it was. She says,
- 24:52Speaker 1: it's the worst it's ever been. This is not hyperbole.
- 24:55Speaker 1: It is Australia's new normal. Results have never been so
- 24:59Speaker 1: bad for on the minimum wage, with affordability having over
- 25:03Speaker 1: the last year. Now baga being on the minimum wage.
- 25:05Speaker 1: It's not even good for someone who's earning one hundred
- 25:07Speaker 1: even one hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year in
- 25:10Speaker 1: a city like Sydney. I think the latest numbers that
- 25:12Speaker 1: we saw was something like for an average house to
- 25:15Speaker 1: be affordable in Sydney, you've got to be earning at
- 25:18Speaker 1: least one hundred and eighty six the yeah, it is.
- 25:22Speaker 1: It is beyond a joke.
- 25:23Speaker 3: Now even double income, white collar professional families now they
- 25:27Speaker 3: are saying struggling to be And I'm not surprised.
- 25:30Speaker 5: I'm on a very good wik at these days, and I.
- 25:33Speaker 3: Am honestly there's not a day goes by that I
- 25:35Speaker 3: don't stress about going backwards. And you know, it's and
- 25:39Speaker 3: if I'm thinking that, you know, right at the top
- 25:41Speaker 3: of the pile, just imagine what people who are just
- 25:45Speaker 3: eking out an existence week to week are thinking. I
- 25:48Speaker 3: know from you know, Salvos and Vineys and food bank.
- 25:51Speaker 3: You know, we've we've got people you know otherwise, you know,
- 25:54Speaker 3: once we're perfectly average, all middle class people going to
- 25:58Speaker 3: Viney's or the Salvos, never never had to rely on
- 26:01Speaker 3: charity ever before. And now they're going there literally just
- 26:04Speaker 3: to ask for food so they could put literally to
- 26:06Speaker 3: put food on the table. Now, how that can happen?
- 26:08Speaker 3: I mean, Food Bank did this incredible report that you
- 26:11Speaker 3: wrote about a few months ago, where you know, vast
- 26:14Speaker 3: numbers of one thousand, pine thousand of family, a huge
- 26:16Speaker 3: proportion one in five. I think at times we're struggling
- 26:19Speaker 3: to put food on the table, or we're going hungry
- 26:22Speaker 3: so that their kids could eat and wouldn't know that
- 26:24Speaker 3: there wasn't enough food for everybody.
- 26:26Speaker 5: It is absolutely staggering.
- 26:28Speaker 3: Having said all that, Adelaide is awesome, and I'm so
- 26:31Speaker 3: glad it's finally getting.
- 26:33Speaker 5: The recognition.
- 26:35Speaker 3: I said for the last Adelaide is the city of
- 26:38Speaker 3: the future. It's like Melbourne before Melbourne got too core
- 26:41Speaker 3: for school.
- 26:41Speaker 1: You are so right, and look, I always proselytize about
- 26:44Speaker 1: how good Adelaide is being a former Adelaide boy, and like,
- 26:47Speaker 1: it's quite staggering to see Edelaide on a list like this.
- 26:50Speaker 1: You go, you know, normally you think of oh, Adelaide's
- 26:52Speaker 1: a lot cheaper than everywhere else, and I used to
- 26:54Speaker 1: tell everyone that it was, but it's not now fundamentally
- 26:57Speaker 1: because people have packed up from place is like Melbourne
- 27:01Speaker 1: and Sydney, and they've gone to places like Brisbane and
- 27:03Speaker 1: Adelaide because they realized if you were an early adopter,
- 27:06Speaker 1: they realized, well, you know, I could spend two million
- 27:09Speaker 1: dollars on some you know, three one bedroom in Sydney
- 27:14Speaker 1: if I'm lucky, or for two million dollars over in Adelaide,
- 27:17Speaker 1: I've got a really nice subs on a good piece
- 27:20Speaker 1: of property really close to the city. But of course
- 27:22Speaker 1: people realize that, so they started doing it quite significantly,
- 27:26Speaker 1: and now all the prices have gone up, which is
- 27:28Speaker 1: great for me because I owned property in Adelaide. So
- 27:31Speaker 1: keep going there and keep pumping the city up. And
- 27:33Speaker 1: it's great if you own property in Adelaide before that.
- 27:36Speaker 1: But people in Adelaide, who were some of the only
- 27:38Speaker 1: ones in the country who actually felt growing up that
- 27:41Speaker 1: they might be able to buy a house when they
- 27:44Speaker 1: left school and went to work, even they now are going, well,
- 27:47Speaker 1: heck as will be in Sydney.
- 27:48Speaker 5: It's zepod.
- 27:50Speaker 6: No, you don't want to be in Sydney.
- 27:52Speaker 7: This is actually the fifteenth time in sixteen years Sydney
- 27:56Speaker 7: has made the top three of the most expense cities.
- 28:00Speaker 6: In the world.
- 28:01Speaker 7: Not the country in the world to try and buy
- 28:05Speaker 7: a home.
- 28:05Speaker 6: To break these numbers down, Sydney.
- 28:10Speaker 7: Has the Sydney prices are thirteen point eight times the
- 28:14Speaker 7: average income.
- 28:15Speaker 6: Again, who the heck can afford that?
- 28:18Speaker 7: Adelaide is the same as the national average, which is
- 28:23Speaker 7: nine point seven times the average income. Interestingly, this annual
- 28:28Speaker 7: DEMOGRAPHYA study said that there has been a strong association
- 28:32Speaker 7: between severely unaffordable housing and net migration. So I know
- 28:38Speaker 7: you disagree, Joe, but this study is on the money,
- 28:42Speaker 7: I believe, and it spoke about at length about the
- 28:46Speaker 7: deterioration of the middle class as a result, and that
- 28:50Speaker 7: is what we are looking at here in Australia as
- 28:53Speaker 7: more and more people simply cannot afford a home. For decades,
- 28:58Speaker 7: the hallmark of a healthy middle class was the ability
- 29:03Speaker 7: to be able to build a home, and as early
- 29:06Speaker 7: as the nineteen nineties fascinating report read it if you can.
- 29:10Speaker 7: As early as the nineteen nineties they say that the
- 29:14Speaker 7: average price of the home was just let me get
- 29:18Speaker 7: this right, three times or less than the average household income.
- 29:23Speaker 7: So in the space of thirty years we are now
- 29:27Speaker 7: looking at three times plus more than that, and nobody
- 29:32Speaker 7: can afford it.
- 29:33Speaker 3: No, that's right, was exactly I was going to say,
- 29:36Speaker 3: just that I remember looking at this easy.
- 29:37Speaker 5: So in the in the eighties.
- 29:38Speaker 3: And even the early nineties, as you say, it was
- 29:41Speaker 3: the average house was three times the average annual wage.
- 29:44Speaker 5: So in other words, if you worked.
- 29:45Speaker 3: For three years and didn't spend any money, didn't eat
- 29:48Speaker 3: or whatever, took all that money, you'd be able to
- 29:50Speaker 3: afford to buy it that you'd be able to buy
- 29:52Speaker 3: a house outright. And now it is, you know again
- 29:54Speaker 3: thirteen times in Sydney, So you would have to be
- 29:58Speaker 3: able to afford to.
- 29:58Speaker 5: Buy a house. You don't have to.
- 30:00Speaker 3: Work NonStop, not have anything else what he is for
- 30:04Speaker 3: thirty years, which is almost as long as you know.
- 30:06Speaker 3: Some homelans were, Yes, exactly, it is crazy.
- 30:10Speaker 1: And of course, if you can't afford to buy a house,
- 30:12Speaker 1: the only alternative is for you to rent. And you
- 30:15Speaker 1: want to hope up renting in Mery Beeck Council in
- 30:17Speaker 1: Melbourne at the moment, because my god, they voted last
- 30:20Speaker 1: night to investigate the idea of charging double rates on
- 30:26Speaker 1: rental property. So if you are a property investor who
- 30:29Speaker 1: owns a house or a unit or whatever in Merribek Council.
- 30:33Speaker 1: And let's never forget that mary Beck is a made
- 30:35Speaker 1: up name. They changed it from Morland Council to mary
- 30:39Speaker 1: Beck Council because mary Beck was meant to be some
- 30:41Speaker 1: Aboriginal word. And then an Aboriginal elder told the Herald
- 30:45Speaker 1: Son that mary Beck didn't actually exist in the language.
- 30:47Speaker 1: So to just let that scene it. This is the
- 30:50Speaker 1: sort of virtue signaling council we're talking about here, right,
- 30:53Speaker 1: so that they now want to charge landlord's double rates.
- 30:57Speaker 1: And the only way they can do that, and this
- 30:59Speaker 1: is how they're going to try and get away with it,
- 31:01Speaker 1: is to then charge people who own their homes outright
- 31:04Speaker 1: half the rates they can at the moment, because in
- 31:06Speaker 1: Victoria they have rate capping, so the council is only
- 31:09Speaker 1: allowed to take a certain amount of money out of
- 31:12Speaker 1: rates that's mandated by the state government. So in order
- 31:15Speaker 1: for them to charge landlord's double rates, it means they
- 31:19Speaker 1: have to charge actual homeowners half rates. And if you're
- 31:22Speaker 1: an actual homeowner, you probably go, oh, that's great, I'm
- 31:25Speaker 1: really happy, I'll take my half rates, and why wouldn't you,
- 31:28Speaker 1: But just think for a moment. The thirty four point
- 31:31Speaker 1: seven percent of households in mery Beck that are renting.
- 31:35Speaker 1: Who do you think is going to end up paying
- 31:37Speaker 1: this double rates. It's not going to be the landlord.
- 31:41Speaker 1: It's going to be the renter. So there's the council
- 31:44Speaker 1: all high and mighty, and the councilor who got this
- 31:48Speaker 1: over the line James Conlan, he was a former Green himself.
- 31:51Speaker 1: Now is easy independent, I know. So he's saying we're
- 31:55Speaker 1: gonna charge him double and that'll get all the property
- 31:58Speaker 1: investors out of Merrybeck. No, they're just going to pass
- 32:01Speaker 1: the cost on to the renters who are already paying
- 32:05Speaker 1: through the nose to live in your councils. They found
- 32:07Speaker 1: another way to make odds.
- 32:09Speaker 3: I couldn't do that, Caleb, because of course, if they
- 32:11Speaker 3: juck up the rents and all those rental properties, then
- 32:14Speaker 3: the renders are just going to go out and rent
- 32:15Speaker 3: somewhere else. Because there's so many rental properties on the market.
- 32:19Speaker 3: It's not like they're completely stuck where they are and
- 32:22Speaker 3: have no choice but to pay the higher rent because
- 32:24Speaker 3: the rental market is tighter than it. Oh you can't
- 32:26Speaker 3: say that, I'm.
- 32:27Speaker 6: Telling you as well, very very tight.
- 32:31Speaker 7: Check out this quote though from independent counselor James Conlin,
- 32:36Speaker 7: who seems to have absolutely no understanding of the way
- 32:39Speaker 7: things work. Here he is slamming the counselors who voted
- 32:43Speaker 7: against his motion. He said it was interesting to see
- 32:46Speaker 7: which counselors chose to side with those felthy property investors
- 32:51Speaker 7: instead of local residents and businesses by choosing not to
- 32:54Speaker 7: give them a massive rate cut. One counselor actually said that,
- 32:59Speaker 7: quote property investors are improving the rental market. End quote,
- 33:04Speaker 7: property investors are improving the.
- 33:06Speaker 6: Rental market grow without them. James Codlin, how do you
- 33:12Speaker 6: think this actually works?
- 33:15Speaker 7: Prompts to this much calmer than me, bloke from the
- 33:18Speaker 7: community who rocked up to the council meeting to try
- 33:22Speaker 7: and explain this in a very calm way.
- 33:25Speaker 9: To James Conlin and his kind, increasing the rates will
- 33:32Speaker 9: result in an increase in property for first time bias
- 33:40Speaker 9: may well be correct, but unfortunately there's a lot of
- 33:42Speaker 9: other people who will be subsequently disappointed and no longer
- 33:46Speaker 9: being able to reside in which is quite an attractive area.
- 33:49Speaker 9: Short term advantages in one area mean other people will
- 33:52Speaker 9: be disadvantaged. Also, just as a final point, consider it
- 33:56Speaker 9: quite inappropriate to be treated differently as a rate payer
- 34:01Speaker 9: from other rate payers in this area, solely because I'm
- 34:05Speaker 9: providing property for other people to live in.
- 34:09Speaker 7: Here here, buddy, I mean, how is this You're paying
- 34:12Speaker 7: for roads rates and rubbish. So your status as whether
- 34:17Speaker 7: you're a renter or a home buyer or a owner occupier,
- 34:22Speaker 7: it really shouldn't affect your rates, right, I mean, isn't
- 34:26Speaker 7: Isn't that just common sense?
- 34:27Speaker 3: Like you write, it's more inflator than that gentleman's puffa jacket,
- 34:32Speaker 3: it is.
- 34:33Speaker 5: Yeah, that's right. That's good to see.
- 34:34Speaker 3: The council seems to have gleaned an indication of how
- 34:36Speaker 3: popular this policy would be by installing security glass exactly,
- 34:42Speaker 3: rage brothers, just.
- 34:44Speaker 5: That chicken wire. But you know.
- 34:47Speaker 3: Again, it is just it is just this staggering inability
- 34:51Speaker 3: of the Greens to actually understand how the economy works,
- 34:55Speaker 3: how markets work, like how things actually happen. Like who
- 34:59Speaker 3: do they think owns all the houses that people live in?
- 35:02Speaker 5: Yes?
- 35:03Speaker 3: Do they think it's the government? Of course they say
- 35:05Speaker 3: the government should just build more houses.
- 35:06Speaker 1: It's just say. And just to make that is a
- 35:08Speaker 1: little bit worse. In Victoria, they've just jacked up the
- 35:11Speaker 1: insurance on building a new home as well. It's gone
- 35:12Speaker 1: up sixty five percent. So as if you thought it
- 35:15Speaker 1: wasn't difficult enough to build by rent a house in
- 35:19Speaker 1: Victoria got Marybeck Council. You've got the state government, absolutely everyone.
- 35:24Speaker 7: The state government we were talking about just earlier this week,
- 35:27Speaker 7: who have mounted a proposal now to put all these
- 35:30Speaker 7: extortionate measures that are supposed to make homes more energy
- 35:35Speaker 7: efficient in the name of climate communism upon landlords.
- 35:39Speaker 6: So if you own a house in Victoria.
- 35:42Speaker 7: Now they're like, well, you've got to get these shower
- 35:45Speaker 7: heads and you've got to seal this up, and you've
- 35:47Speaker 7: got it.
- 35:47Speaker 6: There were several dot points that are going to cost.
- 35:50Speaker 7: Landlords tens of thousands of dollars to do. It seems
- 35:55Speaker 7: as if we are deliberately absolutely smashing the ease of
- 36:01Speaker 7: the middle class, because, as we know, the vast majority
- 36:04Speaker 7: our mom and dad in Vestas, they're not rich people
- 36:06Speaker 7: sitting in high back chesterfields smoking cigars.
- 36:09Speaker 6: And chuckling at poor people. They're just trying to get
- 36:12Speaker 6: ahead themselves.
- 36:13Speaker 3: I think clearly Melbourne is deeply, deeply worried about Adelaide
- 36:17Speaker 3: catching up to it on the housing unaffordability index. I
- 36:21Speaker 3: know you don't you get back there. Yeah, we'll slap
- 36:24Speaker 3: on some risers, slap on the insurance hike.
- 36:27Speaker 5: You'll never catch up.
- 36:28Speaker 7: Just before we go to an ad break, we'd just
- 36:30Speaker 7: like to say rest in peace Star Wars, because although
- 36:34Speaker 7: you've had a good run and have known great fame.
- 36:38Speaker 7: The latest installation called What is It Go The Acolyte
- 36:43Speaker 7: shows in the third episode two lesbian witches conceiving a
- 36:49Speaker 7: child using the Force.
- 36:53Speaker 10: Power What horror, the Power, the Power Power to the Power, Disney,
- 37:21Speaker 10: What have you done to one of the biggest and
- 37:25Speaker 10: best franchises in the history of film?
- 37:29Speaker 11: This is just I can't even with all the dark,
- 37:33Speaker 11: witchy lesbian how many how many LGBTQ diversity boxes can
- 37:39Speaker 11: you tick?
- 37:40Speaker 6: They are going for gold.
- 37:41Speaker 3: The worst part is it's not even accurate, because I've
- 37:43Speaker 3: googled lesbian witches heath throughout my life and that is
- 37:46Speaker 3: not what comes up.
- 37:47Speaker 1: If only having a child conceiving a child was that easy,
- 37:50Speaker 1: the fertility rate wouldn't be so bad as it is
- 37:53Speaker 1: right now after the break. Should concussions be referred to
- 37:57Speaker 1: not as concussions but brain injuries? Afil Great links to
- 38:01Speaker 1: put into that and other things in the paper's Next,
- 38:06Speaker 1: let's get into the papers, starting with the Canberra Times tomorrow.
- 38:09Speaker 6: It's a rare day. We start with the Canberra.
- 38:11Speaker 7: Times, but slim pickings. What can we say, deep fake.
- 38:15Speaker 1: Bill' rap for the Camera Times?
- 38:20Speaker 6: Since when do we talk of the Camera Time?
- 38:22Speaker 1: Well, you know, I mean it is poor old canbra
- 38:24Speaker 1: but still.
- 38:24Speaker 7: Anyway, Camera I'm sorry to everyone in Canberra, but I wouldn't.
- 38:29Speaker 6: Recommend that place to a dog I didn't like.
- 38:32Speaker 7: Australia's Children's Commissioner has queried a bill that could jail
- 38:37Speaker 7: kids as young as ten for sharing sexually explicit images,
- 38:41Speaker 7: including AI generated deep fakes, without consent. This government bill
- 38:47Speaker 7: was introduced by the Attorney General last week and she's
- 38:51Speaker 7: got some serious issues with it as it carries with
- 38:55Speaker 7: it a maximum penalty of seven years jail. Now it's
- 39:00Speaker 7: I don't believe it's actually directed at children, but it
- 39:03Speaker 7: just includes children in the bill.
- 39:06Speaker 6: That's my understanding. Upon reading this.
- 39:09Speaker 3: Trefaz has said that potentially it could include children, but
- 39:11Speaker 3: I would be dealt with as children all are under
- 39:13Speaker 3: the law and no child is going to be given a.
- 39:16Speaker 5: Seven year prison sentence.
- 39:17Speaker 3: Exactly, and it seems to be I think, a trojan
- 39:20Speaker 3: horse for a campaign to raise the age of criminality,
- 39:24Speaker 3: the agent which kids can be potentially dealt with, prosecuted,
- 39:28Speaker 3: prosecuted and incarcerated from ten to fourteen. So, in a
- 39:34Speaker 3: weird kind of way, the Children's Commissioner has gone in
- 39:39Speaker 3: to defend the ability of kids between the age of
- 39:44Speaker 3: ten and fourteen sharing deep fake pawn online.
- 39:49Speaker 5: Which normally you would think you would be against.
- 39:51Speaker 3: Executive the Children's Commissioner out exactly as an argument as
- 39:55Speaker 3: to why the law of criminal responsible, the level of
- 39:59Speaker 3: criminal of criminal responsibility, should be raised from ten to fourty.
- 40:02Speaker 6: It is.
- 40:03Speaker 1: It's a weird, weird fill to die on.
- 40:05Speaker 5: It's a weird health because what we are talking about.
- 40:08Speaker 1: What we're talking about here is people sharing what is
- 40:11Speaker 1: referred to as revenge porn. So you know, you have
- 40:15Speaker 1: a nude photograph of a former partner or someone who's
- 40:17Speaker 1: consensually given it to you, and then at a later
- 40:20Speaker 1: date you non consensually share that, which is of course
- 40:23Speaker 1: disgusting behavior and absolutely should be dealt with by the law.
- 40:26Speaker 1: But you've now got this thing, and there was a
- 40:28Speaker 1: case this week, I forget which school it was, but
- 40:31Speaker 1: a school where kids had shared photographs of a teacher
- 40:36Speaker 1: with her face transfixed over a nude body via this
- 40:41Speaker 1: deep fake AI pawn to make it look like the
- 40:43Speaker 1: teacher was in a pornographic image and film and things
- 40:47Speaker 1: like that should absolutely be outlawed. Now, if a twelve
- 40:50Speaker 1: year old is doing that, you can't tell me that
- 40:52Speaker 1: a twelve year old doesn't have an understanding of the
- 40:55Speaker 1: fact that what they are doing.
- 40:56Speaker 3: Is absolutely no way in the world a twelve year
- 40:58Speaker 3: old would be jailed.
- 40:59Speaker 1: No exactly, It's just it's a very strange situation I think.
- 41:04Speaker 3: Indeed, tell you what, it's also strange. John Septka to
- 41:10Speaker 3: the Odds Today, John setneca you will recall, has gone
- 41:14Speaker 3: after Stephen mcbernie, who is a former building industry watchdog
- 41:19Speaker 3: who's now the chair of the AFL Umpiring Arm, and
- 41:24Speaker 3: he said that if he doesn't resign, or if the
- 41:27Speaker 3: AFL doesn't sack him, basically, the CFMU will do a
- 41:30Speaker 3: go slow on every single project the AFL is involved in,
- 41:33Speaker 3: including the Tasmanian Stadium. You're all up to speed, okay, Well, Today,
- 41:38Speaker 3: Victorian CFMU leader John Setka has defied calls from Anthony
- 41:43Speaker 3: Albanezi and Workplace Relations Minister Tony Burke to abandon his
- 41:47Speaker 3: bitter dispute with the afl vowing to proceed with a
- 41:50Speaker 3: work to rule campaign to disrupt league projects. And the
- 41:55Speaker 3: headline there is Setca reminds PM who is leeping boss.
- 42:01Speaker 3: Awesome headline, Awesome story. But I can tell you for
- 42:04Speaker 3: a fact that and the alban is the boss of
- 42:07Speaker 3: John and Setka. And the Albanzi and John Setka have
- 42:09Speaker 3: a history that goes back decades, years and years and
- 42:12Speaker 3: years and years and years. Setka at one party function
- 42:17Speaker 3: basically should we just say made his displeasure known to
- 42:22Speaker 3: Albow over some factional dispute. I can't remember exactly what
- 42:25Speaker 3: it was. They're from opposing factors. Strangely enough, I hope
- 42:27Speaker 3: I get this right. Albow is from the hard left,
- 42:30Speaker 3: which is actually the moderate left wing faction, and Setta
- 42:34Speaker 3: and the CFM you are from the soft left, also
- 42:37Speaker 3: known in New South waleses the Ferguson Left, which are
- 42:40Speaker 3: in fact the more hardcore and militantly so they're called
- 42:43Speaker 3: the opposite of what they are.
- 42:48Speaker 5: Sandwiched. You need a map and a hot lunch for this.
- 42:50Speaker 6: Way, So the hard left is actually.
- 42:52Speaker 3: Hard left, the more moderate, and the so called soft
- 42:56Speaker 3: left is the more is the more hard core.
- 42:59Speaker 1: I'm glad.
- 42:59Speaker 3: There's also there's also an industrial left in Victoria, so
- 43:02Speaker 3: maybe they change.
- 43:03Speaker 5: Maybe that's the industrial He's.
- 43:04Speaker 1: Also the socialist left anyway, anyway.
- 43:06Speaker 3: That left is all of these are the two subfactions
- 43:10Speaker 3: of the socialist set anyway point being, but anyway point being.
- 43:15Speaker 3: Albo you know took except because feedback in his stride
- 43:20Speaker 3: and when he was Prime Minister immediately kicked him out
- 43:22Speaker 3: of the Labor Party.
- 43:23Speaker 1: It's it's a quotes room secret in this story. And
- 43:26Speaker 1: he never fails to deliver on this account at the
- 43:29Speaker 1: very least, and you know, at least there's one thing,
- 43:31Speaker 1: one good thing you can say about him is he
- 43:32Speaker 1: creates headlines. He said, we know how the system works,
- 43:35Speaker 1: probably a bit better than Tony Burke does. The campaign's
- 43:40Speaker 1: not stopping one bit. We're going to have We're not
- 43:42Speaker 1: going to have politicians tell us who we can go
- 43:44Speaker 1: after and who we can't. It's some of their business.
- 43:47Speaker 1: He then goes on to say, isn't that like.
- 43:49Speaker 5: The definition of what the government?
- 43:52Speaker 6: I know?
- 43:52Speaker 3: Actually he meant to do he tell who I can
- 43:56Speaker 3: and can't bash who I can't.
- 43:58Speaker 1: We're not taking any industrial action. We don't need to.
- 44:02Speaker 1: We can just work the hours that are required for
- 44:04Speaker 1: us to work for the work and the jobs EFT.
- 44:08Speaker 1: We respect that mister Albinezy and mister Burger there to
- 44:11Speaker 1: rule for all Australians, but we've got an obligation to
- 44:13Speaker 1: our members to square the ledger. For what mister mcbernie did,
- 44:17Speaker 1: I mean, for goodness sake, and.
- 44:20Speaker 3: This is why his members love him as well. I
- 44:22Speaker 3: think we've taken over the South Australian brand. He did
- 44:26Speaker 3: Tasmania in South Australia.
- 44:28Speaker 1: Now and they're in a world of pain down there.
- 44:30Speaker 1: It has to be said. Now. The story in the
- 44:31Speaker 1: front of the Yours tomorrow extraordinary. This am z's postcode
- 44:35Speaker 1: loans lottery. The am Z is struggling, shrugging, sorry, struggle again,
- 44:39Speaker 1: he said. Struggling is what you're doing if you're trying
- 44:41Speaker 1: to get home light At the moment, the Ange he's
- 44:43Speaker 1: shrugging off fears of rising mortgage stress to implement a
- 44:46Speaker 1: controversial policy that allows wealthy customers based in one hundred
- 44:49Speaker 1: and forty five postcodes, including Point Piper and two rac
- 44:54Speaker 1: to borrow up to ninety five percent of a property's
- 44:56Speaker 1: value without mortgage insurance, and of course at the moment
- 44:58Speaker 1: it's twenty percent for most people. So what they're saying is,
- 45:02Speaker 1: we think you're okay, you'll be able to borrow the
- 45:05Speaker 1: money on a five percent deposit.
- 45:07Speaker 5: Now, it's good.
- 45:08Speaker 3: They're making property and homes more affordable for the people
- 45:12Speaker 3: who can most afford them.
- 45:16Speaker 7: Further to destroying the middle class. It's less opportunity for
- 45:21Speaker 7: people trying to get up.
- 45:23Speaker 6: I mean, it's just it's so obvious what's going on there.
- 45:27Speaker 6: It is ridiculous.
- 45:28Speaker 3: The teals will be up in arms because these are
- 45:30Speaker 3: both TiAl electrics, point pipery the electroc So I'm sure
- 45:35Speaker 3: the teals will be fighting for this vital goes to
- 45:38Speaker 3: show brain.
- 45:40Speaker 5: The teals will be out there for the struggling that
- 45:42Speaker 5: would never condone.
- 45:43Speaker 1: Of course they will herald Sam Tomorrow, says Brainstorm. Former
- 45:46Speaker 1: Demon's Great and AFL commentator Gary Lyon is called full
- 45:49Speaker 1: time on concussions, saying from now on he will describe
- 45:52Speaker 1: them as what they are, brain injuries. He argues that
- 45:56Speaker 1: brain injuries suggests it's more serious than concussions rattling around
- 46:00Speaker 1: in your head and it needs to be treated as
- 46:02Speaker 1: seriously as that seems like a sure fire way to
- 46:05Speaker 1: scare kids off playing football is.
- 46:07Speaker 6: Yeah, well that's what they've tried to do, haven't they.
- 46:09Speaker 7: And we've seen the Little league, so to speak, start
- 46:13Speaker 7: to adopt this kind of thing, which I don't know
- 46:16Speaker 7: when it's a contact sport.
- 46:18Speaker 1: I just think you've got to accept that there is
- 46:20Speaker 1: a certain level of danger.
- 46:21Speaker 6: Indeed, otherwise what's the point of it.
- 46:24Speaker 1: After the break, we'll tell you about the copper who
- 46:26Speaker 1: tried to get his colleague son out of trouble and
- 46:29Speaker 1: in the process he's got himself into trouble. What a
- 46:31Speaker 1: ducts that's coming up? All right, let's give dunce of
- 46:37Speaker 1: the day to Senior Constable Tom Harper. This fellow pulled
- 46:41Speaker 1: over one of his colleague sons who admitted that he
- 46:44Speaker 1: had been drinking. So he pulled out the breath of
- 46:47Speaker 1: laser and put it in his face and asked him
- 46:48Speaker 1: to count to ten, except he turned the breath olaza
- 46:51Speaker 1: around so that the reading would not be caught, and
- 46:54Speaker 1: then told him to drive off. And so for trying
- 46:56Speaker 1: to do his mate's son a favor. He actually lent
- 47:00Speaker 1: and did himself in court for not doing his job properly.
- 47:03Speaker 1: So seeing your comfortable, Tom Harper, well done. You really
- 47:07Speaker 1: did yourself a favor on that day, didn't you.
- 47:09Speaker 7: I'm sorry, renowned, you're doing a matter favor. Well before
- 47:19Speaker 7: we leave you tonight, women dumb enough to believe in
- 47:22Speaker 7: white male privilege were actually asked to give an example
- 47:27Speaker 7: of said privilege, and here's how that went down.
- 47:31Speaker 1: We're tired of straight white men having the power and everything,
- 47:35Speaker 1: you know, and it's like, we don't have the same
- 47:37Speaker 1: privileges that are offered to straight white men.
- 47:40Speaker 12: Talk to me about what some of those privileges are
- 47:43Speaker 12: I think, I mean.
- 47:44Speaker 3: I don't I know, have you ever experienced like a specific.
- 47:48Speaker 4: Instance, I don't know.
- 47:50Speaker 2: I also need to I know.
- 47:52Speaker 6: I do need to go.
- 47:53Speaker 3: I'm sorry, talk to you about some of the privileges
- 47:55Speaker 3: that white.
- 47:56Speaker 6: Men are awarded that you guys are.
- 47:57Speaker 12: Not awarded, like I guess, just getting away with situations
- 48:03Speaker 12: like if I were to like, I don't know, like.
- 48:12Speaker 11: I guess, you can't describe it, can you, because it
- 48:17Speaker 11: doesn't exist. In fact, they're one of the most demonized
- 48:20Speaker 11: demographics nowadays.
- 48:21Speaker 6: It's actually ridiculous. How do you guys feel about your
- 48:24Speaker 6: white male privilege?
- 48:25Speaker 7: How's it how recently?
- 48:28Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Liz, I can't answer the question.
- 48:30Speaker 5: I've got to go. You gotta go, I gotta go.
- 48:33Speaker 1: I mean, isn't it. It's so funny when you put
- 48:35Speaker 1: these people on the spot, and it's like all the
- 48:38Speaker 1: dopes have been protesting at the front of the UNIS
- 48:40Speaker 1: in their bloody encampments, you know, oh pro Palestine. No,
- 48:44Speaker 1: you have no idea why you're actually then, and you
- 48:47Speaker 1: put them on the spot. Oh yeah, So what do
- 48:49Speaker 1: you know about her mass? Who's her mass? Is that
- 48:52Speaker 1: what you spread with?
- 48:55Speaker 3: I'm not sure if these guys really want to know
- 48:58Speaker 3: what straight white men get away with, though, and they
- 49:00Speaker 3: don't come to my place for dinner.
- 49:02Speaker 7: And nobody take him up on that offer. Please, we
- 49:08Speaker 7: do not want any Joe that could lend you in
- 49:11Speaker 7: court now.
- 49:11Speaker 3: Actually, I'll get away with it because I'm a straight white.
- 49:14Speaker 1: Man exactly, and I want Joe to come back and
- 49:18Speaker 1: give us a full blown report after away, Joe, thank
- 49:21Speaker 1: you for filling all and James mcperson will be back
- 49:26Speaker 1: next week. That's it from us tonight, panning his show
- 49:29Speaker 1: good guys,
