- 0:10Speaker 1: It's the report tonight, So much for balance, the ABC's
- 0:17Speaker 1: obscene and vicious attack on billionaire Gina Reinhardt, plus more
- 0:22Speaker 1: liberal in fighting as a Liberal Front bencher attacks Tony
- 0:24Speaker 1: Abbott for saying multicultural has failed. Also tonight Donald Trump
- 0:30Speaker 1: hogs the stage of the World Cup. What does that
- 0:31Speaker 1: tell us? And the Italy of the North. Britain gets
- 0:35Speaker 1: its seventh Prime minister in just ten years. But first tonight,
- 0:41Speaker 1: don't want to show you how Labor lies, how the mediaize,
- 0:44Speaker 1: how even some liberals lie, lie about Pauline Hansen again
- 0:51Speaker 1: this time that she wants a white Australia policy. Will
- 0:53Speaker 1: also show that those lies now don't work. In fact,
- 0:56Speaker 1: today's news poll shows one Nation's support is up again
- 1:00Speaker 1: level with the Alberdezi government. Now this latest slide, I've
- 1:04Speaker 1: heard it all. We can heard it again today, including
- 1:07Speaker 1: sad to say even here on Sky how Pauline Hanson
- 1:10Speaker 1: laments the end laments is the word that kept using
- 1:14Speaker 1: of the white Australia policy, the Guardian Senate, the ABC
- 1:17Speaker 1: said at SBS edit City Morning Herald, and Labor jumped
- 1:22Speaker 1: all over it.
- 1:23Speaker 2: I never thought when I entered Parliament that in my
- 1:27Speaker 2: political lifetime, anyone who'd been elected to Parliament would be
- 1:31Speaker 2: calling for white Australia.
- 1:33Speaker 3: And then she's saying she's all for white Australia.
- 1:35Speaker 4: Paul In Hanson made comments in the last seventy two
- 1:38Speaker 4: hours indicating that a problem with Australia was the removal
- 1:43Speaker 4: of the White Australia policy.
- 1:47Speaker 1: Even the deputy Federal leader of the Liberals piled on
- 1:50Speaker 1: that Hanson had, as a matter of fact, lamented the
- 1:54Speaker 1: end of the White Australia policy to policy to stop
- 1:57Speaker 1: or restrict people of color emigrating here.
- 2:01Speaker 3: That's not the way we operated in Australia. We have
- 2:03Speaker 3: had a proud history of multiculturalism. We're a great migrant nation.
- 2:07Speaker 3: We need to make sure that we have a migration
- 2:09Speaker 3: program that's delivering for our country, that's driving productivity, not
- 2:14Speaker 3: taking away from it. But restoring a White Australia policy
- 2:17Speaker 3: is not part of that.
- 2:21Speaker 4: Now.
- 2:21Speaker 1: If Hanson really did say such a thing, criticized her.
- 2:25Speaker 1: Of course I would criticize her like I did, for instance,
- 2:27Speaker 1: for meeting in London the fire right thug and convicted
- 2:31Speaker 1: criminal Tommy Robinson, to whom we're told she made those comments.
- 2:35Speaker 1: Supposedly lamenting the end of white Australia. But I checked
- 2:39Speaker 1: what Hanson actually said, and this was it. This is
- 2:44Speaker 1: the whole thing.
- 2:46Speaker 4: How have you ended up with Pakistani's, Somalis, all of
- 2:50Speaker 4: these African problems?
- 2:52Speaker 1: How has that happened when you have such a strong
- 2:53Speaker 1: immigration policy.
- 2:55Speaker 5: Well, it started in nineteen seventy three with Gough Whitlam.
- 2:58Speaker 5: So they opened up and got rid of the white
- 3:00Speaker 5: Australia policy. Then they started bringing in the different migrants.
- 3:03Speaker 5: These people who came in really assimilated and you speak
- 3:06Speaker 5: now they're Aussies. But over the decades, as the governments
- 3:11Speaker 5: have changed and different people they've brought in and a
- 3:14Speaker 5: lot of people come into Australia purely for the welfare system.
- 3:19Speaker 1: Actually the Liberals actually started the dismantling the white Australian policy.
- 3:23Speaker 1: But you heard it. Did Hanson in that clip say
- 3:26Speaker 1: I lament the end of white Australia. I regret it clearly?
- 3:32Speaker 6: No?
- 3:33Speaker 1: Did she say I want to return to white Australia again, No,
- 3:39Speaker 1: no way. Did she make a case for white Australia
- 3:41Speaker 1: as did say the founder of the Liberal Party, Sir
- 3:45Speaker 1: Robert Menzie is our longest serving Prime minister defending a
- 3:49Speaker 1: policy that labor back then also backed.
- 3:53Speaker 7: Do you believe that the so called white Australia policy
- 3:56Speaker 7: will always be a stumbling block. It's such a stumbling
- 4:01Speaker 7: block as people pretend, but that it's important for us.
- 4:06Speaker 7: I haven't the slightest doubt that we should maintain it
- 4:11Speaker 7: the way it is as.
- 4:12Speaker 1: Long as we possibly can.
- 4:14Speaker 7: We ought to aim at having a homogeneous population. I
- 4:17Speaker 7: don't want to see reproduced in Australia the kind of
- 4:20Speaker 7: problem they have in South Africa, or in America, or
- 4:25Speaker 7: increasingly in Great Britain.
- 4:30Speaker 1: He changed his mind later, but still Hansen said nothing
- 4:34Speaker 1: like that. All she did was cite the white Australian
- 4:39Speaker 1: policy as a historic reference point when we open the
- 4:42Speaker 1: doors to mass migration not just from Europe but the
- 4:45Speaker 1: Middle East and Africa as well well. Yes, things did change,
- 4:50Speaker 1: some good changes, some bad changes. Is there even an
- 4:54Speaker 1: ostrich that hasn't noticed? Now? Hans in herself quickly deny
- 5:00Speaker 1: those lives that she wants to return to a white
- 5:02Speaker 1: Australian immigration policy.
- 5:05Speaker 5: There are false allegations that I wanted to introduce the
- 5:08Speaker 5: white Australia policy.
- 5:11Speaker 8: Not the case.
- 5:11Speaker 5: Never ever have I advocated that, and I don't believe
- 5:14Speaker 5: in it as well, and.
- 5:17Speaker 1: One Nation's Barnaby Joyce and Hanson's thought. Lee also tackled
- 5:21Speaker 1: the lies.
- 5:22Speaker 6: I had in no way, shape or form did she
- 5:24Speaker 6: say she wished the white Australian policy hadn't been changed.
- 5:30Speaker 9: She does not support it and she does not want
- 5:32Speaker 9: it back.
- 5:32Speaker 2: Pauline Hansen does not support the White Australia policy.
- 5:36Speaker 5: She supports the assimilation and the Australian culture.
- 5:42Speaker 1: Locket. This Labor then made out that denying this labor
- 5:47Speaker 1: lie proved my nation really was racist. This was the
- 5:52Speaker 1: Albinizi government's Assistant Minister for Multiculturalism, Juli in the Hill.
- 5:55Speaker 10: Today, when a politician into twenty twenty six, a member
- 6:01Speaker 10: of the Australian Parliament, the world's most successful diverse democracy,
- 6:05Speaker 10: has to get up and say, oh no, actually we
- 6:08Speaker 10: don't believe in the white Australia policy. I mean, where
- 6:11Speaker 10: what has got you to that place where you need
- 6:13Speaker 10: to utter those words?
- 6:16Speaker 1: What has scott them to that place? Julian that one
- 6:19Speaker 1: nation has to say these things. It says that you
- 6:22Speaker 1: labor are liars making the innocent speak to defend themselves. Now,
- 6:29Speaker 1: but no now I suspect that many my nations have
- 6:32Speaker 1: those who feel that I've seen this movie before, again
- 6:34Speaker 1: and again and again. Hanson smeared with lies and so
- 6:37Speaker 1: often that the story now has actually become not that
- 6:42Speaker 1: Hanson is a racist, but that her critics are shameless
- 6:45Speaker 1: liars trying any low trick to shout her down. And
- 6:51Speaker 1: I think for a lot of people now it's no
- 6:53Speaker 1: longer handsOn who scares them. It's those haters, including now
- 6:58Speaker 1: the Liberal Party, I have to say, especially it's left wing.
- 7:02Speaker 1: Of course, there is plenty to criticize handsOn for, and
- 7:04Speaker 1: you've heard me criticize it fair a bit lately. I mean,
- 7:07Speaker 1: for instance, for meeting Tommy Robinson for not doing her
- 7:11Speaker 1: homework about him so that she could sit down with
- 7:14Speaker 1: that creep and then not realize that he was lying
- 7:18Speaker 1: to her too, telling her, oh, no, I've never tried
- 7:22Speaker 1: to go to Australia, when in fact it has been
- 7:25Speaker 1: banned twice when he tried to, not least for bashing
- 7:29Speaker 1: a policeman. Leam Bartler of Channel seven picked her up
- 7:32Speaker 1: on that on last night's Spotlight.
- 7:34Speaker 5: So how do you feel about him lying to well,
- 7:37Speaker 5: I didn't know about that If that's the case, I'm
- 7:40Speaker 5: not impressed with that.
- 7:42Speaker 1: I don't think you've done your research.
- 7:45Speaker 5: Anyway. That's my decision.
- 7:49Speaker 1: Honestly, Pauline, you're in a position now do your research.
- 7:54Speaker 1: Unforced thereers, But like I said, today's newspaper shows hands
- 7:58Speaker 1: and support is actually back up again, way ahead of
- 7:59Speaker 1: the Coalition of course, while Labour is falling to be
- 8:03Speaker 1: level with one nation. And to me that's not a surprise,
- 8:07Speaker 1: not a surprise. And these lies are actually the key.
- 8:12Speaker 1: The other parties and much of the media, they're lying
- 8:14Speaker 1: about Hanson because one issue in particular that they do
- 8:17Speaker 1: not want to discuss themselves and do not want anyone
- 8:19Speaker 1: else to discuss. National identity and national unity now rotting
- 8:25Speaker 1: away because of mass immigration and multiculturalism, that policy to
- 8:31Speaker 1: keep us in cultural ghettos, the policy that led just
- 8:34Speaker 1: last Saturday to mannus like this. At a press conference,
- 8:38Speaker 1: the Prime Minister called to talk about is next moves
- 8:41Speaker 1: that tackles suppose Islamophobia, which, to be blunt, is mostly
- 8:45Speaker 1: caused not by an irrational hatred of Islam, but a
- 8:50Speaker 1: well founded fear of Islamist extremists that we've often lit in.
- 8:55Speaker 4: Islamophobia has no place in Australia.
- 8:58Speaker 5: Taur diversity is one of Australia's great strengths.
- 9:01Speaker 11: I welcome these measures that include addressing Islamophobia in schools
- 9:05Speaker 11: and universities. I also acknowledge the critical support for Muslim women,
- 9:10Speaker 11: especially in mental health. The establishment of an Australian Muslim
- 9:15Speaker 11: Affairs Institute and grants to improve understanding of Muslim.
- 9:19Speaker 1: History Institute grants teaching in schools and units. Yes, this
- 9:25Speaker 1: is another multicultural project to teach us everything about Islam
- 9:30Speaker 1: is terrific. Muslim history is great. Just don't mention the
- 9:36Speaker 1: slavery or how Islam was spread with the sword. In fact,
- 9:38Speaker 1: they won't be mentioned. And if we have a problem
- 9:41Speaker 1: with Islam, the problem is obviously us. It's out Islamophobia. Now,
- 9:48Speaker 1: this kind of nonsense is exactly what Hanson is fighting.
- 9:51Speaker 1: And I know I'm probably with a lot of you
- 9:54Speaker 1: that I also wish that Hanson fought with more sensitivity,
- 9:58Speaker 1: less anger, more intelligence, a lot more research. And I
- 10:03Speaker 1: wish she didn't embrace ugly people like Tommy Robinson. But
- 10:09Speaker 1: while she is the only political leader game to even
- 10:12Speaker 1: have a go these lies about it, they're not going
- 10:16Speaker 1: to work. In fact, the opposite. The more that Hans
- 10:20Speaker 1: and haters lie, like they're doing in the last few days,
- 10:23Speaker 1: the more that they advertise that they are lives and
- 10:26Speaker 1: that they are lying to hide their trashing of our country.
- 10:36Speaker 1: And look, I've got to say here, the liberals must
- 10:38Speaker 1: now realize they created Pauline Hanson. They created Hansoon by
- 10:43Speaker 1: being too scared to talk about the stuff that she
- 10:45Speaker 1: does talk about. They created the vacuum. She's just filling it,
- 10:49Speaker 1: which makes liberals like front bencher Andrew Bragg stupid to
- 10:54Speaker 1: now still criticize the one senior liberal his own so
- 11:00Speaker 1: having a go to criticize Tony Abbott, the former Liberal
- 11:04Speaker 1: Prime minister and our Liberal national president and who knows,
- 11:08Speaker 1: maybe the party's future leader again the way things are going.
- 11:12Speaker 1: Abbad last week said this about multiculturalism, given the Bondai
- 11:15Speaker 1: massacre of.
- 11:16Speaker 2: Jews, Multiculturalism has failed and diversity is not our strength.
- 11:25Speaker 1: Now that is so obvious. But Andrew Bragg yesterday bagged
- 11:29Speaker 1: Abbot on the ABC.
- 11:32Speaker 12: He's a former prime minister, he's entired to his views
- 11:34Speaker 12: and I strongly.
- 11:35Speaker 1: Disagree with them.
- 11:36Speaker 13: Liberalism has actually created multiculturalism.
- 11:40Speaker 1: No labor created multiculturalism. The liberals just went along with
- 11:45Speaker 1: the flow. More for them, and look where this new
- 11:47Speaker 1: tribalism has taken us. The Bondai massacre is, of course
- 11:51Speaker 1: the worst example. But here is the latest. The Electoral
- 11:55Speaker 1: Commission has renamed two federal electorates with a very political
- 12:01Speaker 1: and divisively multicultural agenda.
- 12:05Speaker 12: The electorate of Franklin is proposed to be named in
- 12:07Speaker 12: honor of Tomma Longita, a prominent Aboriginal leader and warrior.
- 12:11Speaker 6: The electric name for Gray is changing to her Donohue,
- 12:14Speaker 6: in honor of the late doctor lowicher O Donahue.
- 12:19Speaker 1: I mean, how divisive is this? So one electorate is
- 12:22Speaker 1: named after an Aboriginal warrior who killed white settlers in
- 12:26Speaker 1: what's being dressed up as supposed resistance, and the other
- 12:30Speaker 1: is named after the woman who claims she was stolen
- 12:32Speaker 1: as an Aboriginal child, and in fact became patron of
- 12:36Speaker 1: the Sorry Day Committee. So that's supposed to remind you
- 12:39Speaker 1: that not only you know were we genocidal, we used
- 12:42Speaker 1: to be racist, stealing children, the Solen generations. In fact,
- 12:47Speaker 1: though mistake Loweratier Donohue, she later admitted to me she
- 12:51Speaker 1: hadn't been stolen her white father had instead given her
- 12:56Speaker 1: and she's the child in red here to white missionaries
- 12:59Speaker 1: through gave it to the heroic matron of Colebrook Home,
- 13:03Speaker 1: Sister Rubyhyde. Another of the children that Sister Hyde helped
- 13:08Speaker 1: was Faith Thomas. Now Thomas also became a nurse like
- 13:12Speaker 1: Lowi jhow' donahue and later played for the Australian women's
- 13:15Speaker 1: Test team and remembers how those missionaries at Colebrook, Sister
- 13:19Speaker 1: Hyde and her colleague Sister Rutter saved her. Remember remembers
- 13:24Speaker 1: the constant love and attention the children got from these
- 13:28Speaker 1: two remarkable ladies.
- 13:30Speaker 14: Had I not been in Colebrook, I would never have
- 13:33Speaker 14: got the opportunity that I did have. So I consider
- 13:37Speaker 14: myself not stolen but chosen.
- 13:41Speaker 1: Faith Thomas died not so long ago. But so if
- 13:44Speaker 1: we really had to give the seat of Gray and
- 13:47Speaker 1: South Australia a new name to honor an Aboriginal Australian
- 13:51Speaker 1: instead of a white why not name it after Faith Thomas,
- 13:57Speaker 1: who reminds us of the best of Australia, and not
- 14:01Speaker 1: named after lowcho' donahue. Instead promoted a myth about our racism,
- 14:07Speaker 1: and the reason, of course is politics. Multiculturalism, the politics
- 14:11Speaker 1: of division, and the only senior Liberal to protest that
- 14:15Speaker 1: this act of cultural vandalism, this multicultural madness, it's again
- 14:20Speaker 1: Tony Abbott who has denounced the latest example of official
- 14:24Speaker 1: them's tendency to push change by stealth that alters how
- 14:28Speaker 1: we see ourselves as Australians. Abbott is doing where the
- 14:32Speaker 1: parliamentary Liberal leadership will not. He is fighting battles The
- 14:36Speaker 1: Liberals in Parliament are leaving to Hanson in the cowardice
- 14:40Speaker 1: or lack of conviction. And you wonder why the Liberals
- 14:42Speaker 1: vote It's now to just nineteen percent. Well, Hanson's is soaring.
- 14:47Speaker 1: You wonder why Tony Abbott may soon be the party's
- 14:49Speaker 1: only hope in avoiding total destruction. Jeremy is Michael Kroger,
- 14:54Speaker 1: former president of the Victorian Liberals, and Steve Conroy, former
- 14:57Speaker 1: Labor senator and Cabinet minister. Michael Paulin. Hansen did not
- 15:02Speaker 1: say she lamented the end of the white Australian polity.
- 15:05Speaker 1: She did not say she wanted it brought back. Why
- 15:08Speaker 1: are the mediate Labor and even some Liberals lying about her?
- 15:12Speaker 1: And is this really the way to destroy her?
- 15:15Speaker 4: Well?
- 15:15Speaker 1: I don't think so.
- 15:16Speaker 15: But look what's happening is this Hanson threatens the sixty
- 15:21Speaker 15: year March through the institutions that the left have been
- 15:24Speaker 15: pursuing since the nineteen sixties, the mass through the schools,
- 15:28Speaker 15: the universities, big government, big unions, Big Australia, the corporate
- 15:34Speaker 15: community wanting more immigrants, government institutions. Hanson's threatening to roll
- 15:40Speaker 15: back this left wing edifice, and that's why she's such
- 15:44Speaker 15: an enormous threat to the left. So the challenge for
- 15:47Speaker 15: us is not only to concentrate at our major issue,
- 15:51Speaker 15: which is the Australian economy, but also to respect the
- 15:56Speaker 15: fact that thirty percent of the Australian community agree with Hanson,
- 16:00Speaker 15: and there's no point dismissing her. They are concerned about
- 16:03Speaker 15: the march through Australia and how Australia is radically changing
- 16:07Speaker 15: as the country. The inner city elaits are doing incredibly well,
- 16:11Speaker 15: and the further you get from the CBD, the worse
- 16:13Speaker 15: the country is doing. That's what she represents and that's
- 16:16Speaker 15: why she's such a threat to the established institutions in
- 16:20Speaker 15: this country.
- 16:20Speaker 1: Andrew stephen Way's labor so desperate to say that she
- 16:27Speaker 1: wanted white Australia. When she says she did not, and
- 16:29Speaker 1: she didn't say it either.
- 16:32Speaker 13: Well, look, I think she should have taken your advice, Andrew,
- 16:34Speaker 13: and not appeared with that.
- 16:36Speaker 1: You know that thug.
- 16:39Speaker 13: I mean, as she was challengeding I didn't do her research.
- 16:43Speaker 13: He led her up the garden path. He gave her
- 16:45Speaker 13: a leading question and she fell right into the trap.
- 16:49Speaker 13: I mean to me, I watched it last night and
- 16:53Speaker 13: to me it sounded like a bit of a lament.
- 16:56Speaker 13: But look, I'll be generous. It was a wishful sigh.
- 17:00Speaker 13: I mean, the question was she says, I hate what
- 17:02Speaker 13: the countries become. The cause of it is the pakistanis
- 17:07Speaker 13: in the fall of the white Australia policy. It's not
- 17:11Speaker 13: that hard to draw the line, Andrew. Now you might,
- 17:14Speaker 13: you know, you might think that's an over d It.
- 17:18Speaker 1: Was reported as facts, Stephen, not an inference. I believe
- 17:22Speaker 1: that what she really meant, which wouldn't make her headline. No,
- 17:27Speaker 1: it was a hard it was a hard conclusion. She
- 17:30Speaker 1: said it, she did not say it. That's when I
- 17:33Speaker 1: say it is a lie. It is a spear. She
- 17:36Speaker 1: denies saying it. She didn't say it, But Labour says
- 17:38Speaker 1: she did, and I just think and Soda journalists, I
- 17:40Speaker 1: think that is absolutely wrong. It's not the way to act.
- 17:44Speaker 1: Then it's just leading labor down the garden path. Have
- 17:46Speaker 1: to say. But Michael, this whole thing now of Tony
- 17:51Speaker 1: Abbott being the one senior Liberal being the president now
- 17:57Speaker 1: of the party who says multiculturalism is failed and tackling
- 18:02Speaker 1: these kinds of issues and getting shouted down by the
- 18:04Speaker 1: likes of Andrew Bragg. I mean, it does make me
- 18:08Speaker 1: wonder the way the polls are now for the Liberals,
- 18:12Speaker 1: is Abbot a future leader, possibly because I don't know
- 18:18Speaker 1: who is is well.
- 18:21Speaker 15: Angus hasn't been there long and he's had to deal
- 18:23Speaker 15: with the hurricane of Hanson, as labor have as well,
- 18:26Speaker 15: So we're both dealing with that, both of the major
- 18:29Speaker 15: parties are dealing with that. Look to the substance of
- 18:33Speaker 15: what Tony says, there's an element of truth to what
- 18:37Speaker 15: he's saying. I mean, the multicultural experiment in this country
- 18:41Speaker 15: hasn't failed, but it is certainly failing. Fifteen hundred and
- 18:46Speaker 15: seventy six anti Semitic incidents were reported to the Jewish
- 18:50Speaker 15: community's security service last year. It was revealed in the
- 18:53Speaker 15: Royal Commission today over fifteen hundred cases of anti Semitism
- 18:57Speaker 15: in Australia last year alone, an increase of twenty two
- 19:01Speaker 15: percent on the year before. Tell me that our social experiment,
- 19:04Speaker 15: that our multicultural community is working well. When the Jewish
- 19:09Speaker 15: community have to have their own security service CSG Hatsalah,
- 19:13Speaker 15: which is an ambulance and medical service as well, how's
- 19:19Speaker 15: Australia going. Social cohesion in Australia has never been worse
- 19:23Speaker 15: in my whole lifetime. I've never seen it worse under
- 19:26Speaker 15: the Albanesi government. So you know, of course what Abbot
- 19:30Speaker 15: is saying, there are elements of truth in what he's saying.
- 19:33Speaker 15: I just hope it hasn't failed. I just hope it's failing.
- 19:36Speaker 15: And the corrective course of action by clamping down on
- 19:40Speaker 15: Islamic extremism, which is the main problem in Australia today.
- 19:44Speaker 15: Let's hope that the Muslim community can do more to
- 19:47Speaker 15: stamp that out, and state and federal governments can do
- 19:50Speaker 15: more to stamp that out.
- 19:52Speaker 1: That will go a long way.
- 19:53Speaker 15: To restoring social cohesion in this country.
- 19:56Speaker 1: Andrew, Yeah, but of course, supremaci of a question was
- 20:00Speaker 1: that the senior Liberals are not doing that. They're too
- 20:02Speaker 1: gutless to do it, and they feel some I think
- 20:05Speaker 1: that well Hans has spoiled it for us, so we
- 20:07Speaker 1: can't go there now. They never wanted to and never will.
- 20:10Speaker 1: I suspect some of them, but Stephen I, I'm going
- 20:12Speaker 1: to let Labor off the hook. I mean, for all
- 20:15Speaker 1: these attacks on Hansen, and she has at a rough time.
- 20:17Speaker 1: I've been attacking her as well. She's said quite a
- 20:21Speaker 1: rough time. And yet you know she's level pegging in
- 20:26Speaker 1: news poll with Labor. With all the help that the
- 20:29Speaker 1: media has been given to this crusader Naylor, she's still
- 20:31Speaker 1: as popular as the government. What's gone wrong?
- 20:35Speaker 13: She is benefiting off two different things. Firstly that the
- 20:40Speaker 13: Liberal Party are hopeless and they've been proven to helpless
- 20:44Speaker 13: and those are your words and others' words in terms
- 20:48Speaker 13: of their performance. So she's getting a huge swagger votes.
- 20:52Speaker 1: From therefore pegging with one nation, but also.
- 20:58Speaker 13: Votes four in ten votes from Liberals and one in
- 21:02Speaker 13: ten from US. That is not a reason for labor
- 21:05Speaker 13: be complacent. That is absolutely not a reason for labor
- 21:08Speaker 13: to be complacent. They need to be pushing forward on
- 21:12Speaker 13: economic growth. They need to be delivering in health and
- 21:16Speaker 13: education and cleaning up the NDIS, which is what they're
- 21:20Speaker 13: working on. So Labour needs to start putting runs on
- 21:23Speaker 13: the board, not saying they're not. But the way to
- 21:25Speaker 13: counter Hansen from sort of labor from what nation career
- 21:31Speaker 13: is labor voters is to demonstrate the conviction of our
- 21:36Speaker 13: values and continue to engage which Australian public on our values,
- 21:40Speaker 13: not just letting kicking up Pauline Hanson. That is not
- 21:44Speaker 13: a solution that the Liberal Party who have to fight
- 21:47Speaker 13: her for their votes mainly, and we get on with
- 21:49Speaker 13: doing our job delivering for working Australians.
- 21:55Speaker 1: Michael Crowe, Stephen Conroy, thank you so much to you both.
- 21:59Speaker 1: After the break, the around war has just got even worse.
- 22:02Speaker 1: Donald Trump photo bombs the FIFA World Cup final ceremony
- 22:06Speaker 1: at the end. What does that tell us.
- 22:13Speaker 11: Now?
- 22:13Speaker 1: The world is such turmoil as I haven't seen in
- 22:17Speaker 1: many years, which comes to think of it as a
- 22:20Speaker 1: little bit like what President is ing Ping of China
- 22:22Speaker 1: keeps saying too, change is not seen in generations. Ukraine,
- 22:27Speaker 1: the good users, I guess Ukraine is now hitting all
- 22:30Speaker 1: facilities and logistic hubs in Russia with huge fleets of drones,
- 22:33Speaker 1: causing him huge disruption and also massive clouds of smoke
- 22:39Speaker 1: over Moscow and Russia in revenge on the weekend smash
- 22:43Speaker 1: Ukraine's capital Kiv with more than forty missiles aimed at
- 22:47Speaker 1: civilian targets, knowing that Ukraine has run out of patriot
- 22:50Speaker 1: missile defenses to shoot them down. And that's, of course,
- 22:54Speaker 1: because the US one refuses now to donate Ukraine a
- 22:58Speaker 1: single weapon, and two needs plenty of patriots for its
- 23:02Speaker 1: allies in the Middle East, where war in Iran is
- 23:05Speaker 1: now getting more and more intense, with the US yesterday
- 23:08Speaker 1: punishing around even more for killing three American soldiers in Jordan.
- 23:13Speaker 1: And then there's China watching bud in its time back
- 23:18Speaker 1: at last from his working holiday in Europe investigating some
- 23:21Speaker 1: of the mayhem up close is the country Sovereign affairs
- 23:26Speaker 1: writer Greg Sheridan of The Australian. Greg, great to see
- 23:29Speaker 1: you again. Have you come back from all your deep
- 23:32Speaker 1: discussions with experts over there and whatever? Have you come
- 23:36Speaker 1: back depressed or with more hope? Well, Andrew, it's great
- 23:41Speaker 1: to talk to you.
- 23:42Speaker 2: And as an Irishman, I'm always cheerful, but intellectually it's
- 23:47Speaker 2: a pretty.
- 23:48Speaker 1: Full lawn outlook.
- 23:50Speaker 2: I must say Britain impressed me as a very scrappy, rundown,
- 23:55Speaker 2: messed up place, and we're heading in exactly the same
- 23:59Speaker 2: direct And there is a lack of strategic leadership in
- 24:04Speaker 2: the West from Trump and all through Western Europe and
- 24:08Speaker 2: in Canberra. So you know, if you had to give
- 24:12Speaker 2: a one word cable back to Head Office from your
- 24:14Speaker 2: diplomatic post, you'd say the situation is run.
- 24:22Speaker 1: Well, look at Britain's really a warning to us. And
- 24:26Speaker 1: that's essentially what Kapaul announcer was saying in a clumsy
- 24:29Speaker 1: way with that terrible company from Britain. But let's have
- 24:34Speaker 1: a look first of the war in Iran. Where is
- 24:36Speaker 1: that headed, greg, especially now that Auran has killed three
- 24:39Speaker 1: American soldiers in a missile attack on Jordan, and this
- 24:43Speaker 1: is after we were told, oh no, no, we've degraded
- 24:45Speaker 1: their missile capability.
- 24:48Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know, I want America to triumph over Iran.
- 24:52Speaker 2: But at no point in this matter has Trump told
- 24:56Speaker 2: us the truth about anything. And that makes it very
- 24:59Speaker 2: hard to mobilize support for the American effort. It seems
- 25:03Speaker 2: to me neither America nor Iran can compromise. Iran won't
- 25:08Speaker 2: give up control of the Strait of hor Moves, and
- 25:11Speaker 2: it believes it can withstand any punishment that America will
- 25:16Speaker 2: meet out to it. Trump or Washington, for its part,
- 25:20Speaker 2: cannot allow Iran to continue to control the Straight of
- 25:24Speaker 2: hor Moos because that means strategically we're in a worse
- 25:28Speaker 2: position than we were before the whole war erupted. We
- 25:32Speaker 2: have degraded Iran's military capabilities to a large extent, but
- 25:36Speaker 2: they can certainly still control the Straight of hor Moves. Now,
- 25:41Speaker 2: the question is does Iran run out of endurance before
- 25:45Speaker 2: Trump runs out of conviction. My worry a bit is
- 25:49Speaker 2: that Trump is going to face deadlines which the Iranians
- 25:53Speaker 2: know only too well. You know, he has to seek
- 25:56Speaker 2: permission from Congress after the conflict goes on for a
- 26:00Speaker 2: certain amount of time. Very hard to get that permission,
- 26:02Speaker 2: even from a Republican Congress, and he's going to almost
- 26:05Speaker 2: certainly lose the House of Representatives in the midterms, and
- 26:09Speaker 2: the Congress could do to him what they did to
- 26:12Speaker 2: the South Vietnamese in nineteen seventy four seventy five, and
- 26:16Speaker 2: just withdraw support for the American military venture, and you
- 26:23Speaker 2: know the sad thing in the meantime, Andrew is I
- 26:25Speaker 2: think we see more of the same for some time
- 26:29Speaker 2: going forward. This peace deal fell over because Iran wouldn't
- 26:34Speaker 2: honor the side of the agreement which said it would
- 26:37Speaker 2: let the straight of hoor Moves be open, and there's
- 26:39Speaker 2: no sign that it's going to change its mind on that.
- 26:45Speaker 1: In order to give up the enrich uranium a uranium
- 26:48Speaker 1: close through weapons grade. Well, you mentioned Donald Trump, you know,
- 26:55Speaker 1: running out of convictions. Also, it's got a it's a
- 26:58Speaker 1: very impulsive, wilful man, and so much is his own
- 27:03Speaker 1: pride and all that. So that's a hard thing to factor.
- 27:06Speaker 1: I think. I wonder whether you think we got a
- 27:08Speaker 1: glimpse of that in the FIFA World Cup final in
- 27:10Speaker 1: New Jersey this morning when he presented the trophy to
- 27:14Speaker 1: Spain but then refuse to get out of the picture
- 27:17Speaker 1: until the FIFA boss finally almost had to man handle
- 27:21Speaker 1: him out of the shot. When you see that, Greg,
- 27:25Speaker 1: do you think, well, that's a visual clue into understanding
- 27:29Speaker 1: the Trump presidency.
- 27:32Speaker 2: Yes, I do, Edrew, I think that's a brilliant moment really,
- 27:36Speaker 2: I mean, Trump is kind of beyond analysis now. And
- 27:40Speaker 2: beyond satire and beyond parody. I mean, I think Trump
- 27:43Speaker 2: does some good things and some bad things. I'm not
- 27:46Speaker 2: a total, you know, Trump hater, nor am I a
- 27:49Speaker 2: total Trump supporter, But this kind of crazy narcissism, what
- 27:54Speaker 2: makes it almost endearing is that it is so absolutely
- 27:59Speaker 2: blatant and shameless. You know, he has nothing to do
- 28:03Speaker 2: with the Spanish football team. He's kind of at war
- 28:06Speaker 2: with the Spanish government and threatening to break off all
- 28:10Speaker 2: NATO cooperation with him.
- 28:11Speaker 1: And so forth.
- 28:12Speaker 2: And there he is determined to stand in the picture,
- 28:16Speaker 2: having just declared that the World Cup held in the
- 28:19Speaker 2: United States was, of course, the greatest sporting event in
- 28:23Speaker 2: all world history. On a serious note, though he's now
- 28:27Speaker 2: eighty years old, he's more erratic than he was in
- 28:30Speaker 2: his first term. He has fewer adults around him, maybe
- 28:34Speaker 2: Rubio and the Treasury Secretary Scott Vessant and to some
- 28:38Speaker 2: extent JD. Vance, and he doesn't seem to give a dam.
- 28:43Speaker 2: He is condemning the Republicans to a pretty disastrous result
- 28:48Speaker 2: in the midterms, it would seem.
- 28:50Speaker 1: And he's reached a point now.
- 28:53Speaker 2: Where he couldn't care less about anybody's opinion, and he
- 28:57Speaker 2: is completely self absorbed in his own myth and his
- 29:02Speaker 2: own energy. And people ask me all the time to say,
- 29:06Speaker 2: who's up and who's down in the Trump administration. That's
- 29:09Speaker 2: not a relevant question anymore. What you've got to analyze
- 29:12Speaker 2: is what's up and what's down in Trump's own mind,
- 29:15Speaker 2: and that's very that's increasingly quite quite difficult task to undertake. Greg.
- 29:24Speaker 1: I'm actually run out of time, but we do want
- 29:26Speaker 1: a quick hot take from you, because later in the
- 29:28Speaker 1: show I'm going to cross the London to talk about
- 29:30Speaker 1: Britain today getting it seventh prime minister in just ten years,
- 29:34Speaker 1: which is an embarrassing record. Its former Manchester Mayor Andy
- 29:38Speaker 1: Burnham of Labour's left wing. What are you expecting from him? Well, look,
- 29:43Speaker 1: I think more of the same, only worse.
- 29:45Speaker 2: Really, he's a bit smoother than Kiers Starmer, but he
- 29:49Speaker 2: comes from the left of Kiers Starmer. He says that
- 29:52Speaker 2: Britain's key need is to get rid of neoliberalism.
- 29:56Speaker 1: He wants to spend a lot more.
- 29:58Speaker 2: He wants to devolve power into the regions, which has
- 30:02Speaker 2: been really pretty catastrophic for Britain because it just contributes
- 30:07Speaker 2: to the fiscal confusion. There's no sign at all that
- 30:13Speaker 2: he can come to grips with Britain's massive welfare bill.
- 30:16Speaker 2: You know, a million young people neither in employment, education
- 30:20Speaker 2: or training. There's no sign at all that he can
- 30:23Speaker 2: take the hard decisions Britain needs to take. Having said
- 30:27Speaker 2: all that, you know he's very, very flexible, and who knows,
- 30:31Speaker 2: he may even change every know the habits of a
- 30:34Speaker 2: lifetime and embrace good policy. You wish him well, but
- 30:38Speaker 2: it's hard to see any real promise there.
- 30:42Speaker 1: Greg Sheridan, great to have you back. Thank you so
- 30:45Speaker 1: much for returning and being on the show. Appreciate it.
- 30:48Speaker 1: After the break, you're not going to believe this, the
- 30:52Speaker 1: ABC's vicious and obscene attack on billionaire Gina Rona. Dependel
- 30:58Speaker 1: on that after this a little taste caution by the
- 31:06Speaker 1: way of something coming up. I heard something so disgusting
- 31:11Speaker 1: on the ABC which we're all forced to pay for.
- 31:14Speaker 1: Something the ABC could have stopped from going to air
- 31:17Speaker 1: and chose not to. Now before I show it, and
- 31:21Speaker 1: you're not going to believe your ears. Remember two things. First,
- 31:25Speaker 1: ABC chairman Kim william said on Sky News last week, Oh,
- 31:30Speaker 1: the ABC isn't biased, And second, the ABC doesn't just
- 31:35Speaker 1: have a duty to be impartial, but a duty in
- 31:39Speaker 1: its own words on its website to create ABC content
- 31:43Speaker 1: in a way that is respectful towards audiences and mindful
- 31:47Speaker 1: of community standards in areas like harm and offense. So
- 31:54Speaker 1: to the ABC's show Race Around the World, in which
- 31:59Speaker 1: six budding filmmakers go from country to country to make
- 32:02Speaker 1: short films which are then shown on that show each week,
- 32:05Speaker 1: and contestant Kate McGinnis, well, she's just been in Scotland
- 32:09Speaker 1: where she filmed some random idiot claiming to be some
- 32:13Speaker 1: kind of traditional Scottish forest warrior ninja who could teach
- 32:18Speaker 1: us to be at one with nature. Oh, and Kate
- 32:20Speaker 1: loved this, you know, using sticks in particular, which Kate
- 32:25Speaker 1: did think could save us.
- 32:27Speaker 14: The world isn't going to end with a bang. It
- 32:30Speaker 14: will just gradually fall apart, and when our society crumbles,
- 32:35Speaker 14: these down to earth skills may come in handy, which
- 32:42Speaker 14: brings us to our next step. Playing with sticks.
- 32:49Speaker 1: Now, Kate went on with this love and hugs and
- 32:52Speaker 1: peace waffle and then ended it with a message of utter,
- 32:59Speaker 1: utter hatred for one woman, a friend of mine, actually
- 33:02Speaker 1: a moaning billionaire Gena Ronhart.
- 33:05Speaker 14: Because when the revolution comes, will you hide under your
- 33:09Speaker 14: bed or will you know exactly how to shove a
- 33:13Speaker 14: stick right off Gena E. Reinhart's butthole, stirring it around,
- 33:18Speaker 14: mixing her guts up nice and smooth, making her into
- 33:23Speaker 14: one big sausage role to make something out of nothing.
- 33:32Speaker 1: That obscene and vicious rant, that poornographic vision of violence,
- 33:38Speaker 1: which the ABC must have seen at advance, that went
- 33:43Speaker 1: to air. The ABC still chose to show it, And
- 33:47Speaker 1: of the four people on that show who then were
- 33:50Speaker 1: jury and host, just one of them had even a
- 33:55Speaker 1: word of mild criticism, and that was ABC presenter Lee Sales.
- 34:00Speaker 6: I really did quite like it, But then I had
- 34:03Speaker 6: a bone to pick, which is that you shifted the
- 34:06Speaker 6: tone from a film that was kind of universal and
- 34:09Speaker 6: including all of us and saying, hey, do I feel
- 34:12Speaker 6: like nothing, We've all got problems, We're all in this together,
- 34:15Speaker 6: and then you backed it in with a very easy,
- 34:18Speaker 6: kind of nasty gag about Gena Reinhart. So what you
- 34:20Speaker 6: were saying to the viewer was, we're all in this
- 34:22Speaker 6: together unless you don't share my politics, unless you're Gena Reinhart.
- 34:26Speaker 10: Ha ha ha ha.
- 34:32Speaker 1: That was the only criticism. Joining me Alisa Goddard, former
- 34:35Speaker 1: foreign correspondent and founder of ad Only Media and scoone
- 34:38Speaker 1: New's host to Nikko di Georgio, Lisa, I mean, talk
- 34:43Speaker 1: about coming spinner, but should the ABC have put that
- 34:46Speaker 1: film to air now?
- 34:48Speaker 8: Taxpayer funded? Vile crew, reprehensible, The adjectives can just keep
- 34:53Speaker 8: going on. Gena Reinhart is one of this country's great leaders.
- 34:58Speaker 8: I did the sums Andrew. She pays it two point
- 35:00Speaker 8: six billion dollars in taxes last year alone. That would
- 35:03Speaker 8: buy the ABC twice over for one year. And this
- 35:07Speaker 8: is how they mock her. And that is exactly what
- 35:09Speaker 8: it is. It is disgusting. And this was put out
- 35:12Speaker 8: against anybody, particularly from the left. Could you imagine the
- 35:15Speaker 8: outcry we would have And we seem to have these
- 35:17Speaker 8: conversations nearly every other week about this has said about
- 35:20Speaker 8: someone on the right, and no one from the left
- 35:23Speaker 8: will speak up about it. But if it's said about
- 35:25Speaker 8: someone on the left, will, goodness me, the whole world
- 35:27Speaker 8: would explode. So I think it's disgusting. I think the
- 35:29Speaker 8: ABC is not meeting its responsibilities when it comes to
- 35:33Speaker 8: as you say, respect community, any of the standards, and
- 35:37Speaker 8: I really hope that a complaint is put into ACHMA
- 35:39Speaker 8: over it.
- 35:42Speaker 1: At the very least, I think the chairman should be
- 35:44Speaker 1: writing now a letter of deep apology to and the
- 35:49Speaker 1: mansion Erictor as well to Gina Rohinhad. What does it say,
- 35:53Speaker 1: Danika about the ABC This fantasy of graphic and obscene
- 35:58Speaker 1: violence against the woman is shown with just one of
- 36:02Speaker 1: the jury members having any criticism at all of it.
- 36:06Speaker 9: Yeah, and I mean the people clearly that they're picking
- 36:07Speaker 9: for that jury panel. It's not representative of Australia. They're
- 36:12Speaker 9: not getting everybody's viewpoints, They're only getting the viewpoints on
- 36:16Speaker 9: this show that suit this bias narrative. I actually think
- 36:20Speaker 9: that the comments were abhorrent. They are appalling. Gina Reinhardt
- 36:24Speaker 9: has paid her taxes. There is a reason why she
- 36:26Speaker 9: is one of the most successful business women in this country.
- 36:30Speaker 9: Her business is the backbone of mining, therefore props up
- 36:34Speaker 9: our economy tenfold. And I think the ABC could learn
- 36:38Speaker 9: a lot from Gina Reinhart about what it is to
- 36:40Speaker 9: be a hard worker, because clearly the ABC do not
- 36:43Speaker 9: work hard enough. And to Lisa's point, can you imagine
- 36:46Speaker 9: if say one of us or anybody you know from
- 36:49Speaker 9: Conservative Politics said something to the effect of to say,
- 36:53Speaker 9: Lee Sales, maybe what about their new recruit, Grace Tame.
- 36:57Speaker 9: The media would have a field day, the left wing media,
- 36:59Speaker 9: the Guardian, the ABC would all get involved. But because
- 37:02Speaker 9: it's Gina Reinhart, nobody even Bat's an eyelid. And I
- 37:07Speaker 9: just think that absolutely, at the very least, the chairman
- 37:09Speaker 9: should be writing a public apology because it's disgusting what
- 37:13Speaker 9: was said.
- 37:16Speaker 1: Well, I just remember the LIFTS outrage and media outrage,
- 37:20Speaker 1: the ABC outrage when some donkeys said something about you
- 37:25Speaker 1: can't come into the physical appearance of Julia Gillard. This
- 37:28Speaker 1: trump's that and the ABC actually screens it as I
- 37:33Speaker 1: can't believe it. It's just astonishing and sorry you were.
- 37:37Speaker 8: Saying something, and Andrew, as you say, we all know
- 37:40Speaker 8: how newsrooms work. This didn't just magically appear on air
- 37:43Speaker 8: with anybody having seen it beforehand, so it would have
- 37:46Speaker 8: had to go through many layers of approval before it
- 37:49Speaker 8: got to that point. So goodness knows what we said
- 37:51Speaker 8: in the various edit sweets or production meetings about the
- 37:54Speaker 8: laughter that went on. They thought it was funny to
- 37:56Speaker 8: mock this great Australian's that's who needs to be held
- 37:59Speaker 8: to account. Where is the investigation who said this was okay.
- 38:03Speaker 1: To go to air? Is that what we and Gina
- 38:07Speaker 1: Rhna pay the ABC to do? Is this the higher
- 38:10Speaker 1: cultural standards? This is this why we have a public broadcast?
- 38:15Speaker 1: What is the public service in this? By the way,
- 38:18Speaker 1: you know, I was struck, Denika. You've got Pauline Hanson,
- 38:23Speaker 1: so much media obsession and political obsession about Hanson going
- 38:27Speaker 1: overseas and to Italy, to Sicily. In fact, you know, oh,
- 38:33Speaker 1: she shouldn't be there yet at the same time, you
- 38:35Speaker 1: had three coalitions six labor in peace also over around Italy.
- 38:40Speaker 1: And what was she doing at that Dulcea and Gabbana
- 38:43Speaker 1: fashion show in Sicily which is supposed to be a
- 38:45Speaker 1: warman to the people. Here's her response to the critics.
- 38:49Speaker 12: Yes, I went to Cicily.
- 38:52Speaker 5: Yes, I went to the Adultshi Kabana fashion show.
- 38:56Speaker 13: One experience.
- 38:57Speaker 7: I was invited to go and thought.
- 38:58Speaker 5: Well, I've never been to anything like that, and I thought, yes,
- 39:01Speaker 5: I'm going to go and see it is my scene.
- 39:04Speaker 13: No no in the world world.
- 39:06Speaker 6: But it was an experience.
- 39:07Speaker 5: It was fabulous, fantastic to see.
- 39:11Speaker 1: Now Danika does all that time that she's been spending
- 39:14Speaker 1: in Italy hurt her living the hid life make her
- 39:16Speaker 1: look like a hypocrite or does it in fact make
- 39:18Speaker 1: her seem a bit more worldly.
- 39:21Speaker 9: You're asking somebody with an Italian background Andrew whether or
- 39:24Speaker 9: not to pull in handsome should be in Italy? Goodness
- 39:28Speaker 9: me is the popa Catholic as we say, look good
- 39:31Speaker 9: on her. I just don't see the problem with her
- 39:34Speaker 9: being overseas, being on holidays. Every other MP is allowed
- 39:38Speaker 9: to take a break. The Prime Minister last week said
- 39:41Speaker 9: he couldn't go to the Garma Festival because he hasn't
- 39:43Speaker 9: taken a day off in a year. But you know,
- 39:45Speaker 9: we've got to make a big deal out of it.
- 39:47Speaker 9: And then they're upset that she was at a Dulce
- 39:49Speaker 9: and Gabanna fashion show, And it got me thinking, do
- 39:52Speaker 9: you remember when the former Indigenous Affairs MP Linda Bernie
- 39:56Speaker 9: went out into an Aboriginal community draped in Prada and
- 39:59Speaker 9: you know that that was okay. But as soon as
- 40:01Speaker 9: Pauline Hansen's an adult chained Gavanna fashion show while or
- 40:05Speaker 9: she can't possibly be a woman of the people. For
- 40:07Speaker 9: goodness sake, this woman has come from a small business background,
- 40:11Speaker 9: a single mother. She knows what it is like to
- 40:14Speaker 9: be the woman of the people. So I think that
- 40:17Speaker 9: the criticism is absolutely pathetic. She will come back here
- 40:20Speaker 9: and I guarantee you she'll still be doing pretty well
- 40:23Speaker 9: in the polling, and judging by the latest News poll,
- 40:25Speaker 9: she certainly is.
- 40:28Speaker 1: Lisa. I'm actually out of time, but quickly, as a
- 40:30Speaker 1: communications expert, would you say to would you've said to
- 40:34Speaker 1: Pauline don't go to the Dulcia Gevana thing? Or you
- 40:36Speaker 1: would you think, hey, why not scramble categories?
- 40:39Speaker 8: Oh look, I think it's great and you know what
- 40:41Speaker 8: to pick up On Danika's point, she was sixteen years
- 40:43Speaker 8: old when she fell pregnant. The Liberal Party is all
- 40:46Speaker 8: about aspiration, right, and godness knows how many times we've
- 40:48Speaker 8: heard Anthony Elbanezi's story about the Housing Commission and growing
- 40:51Speaker 8: up in Housing Commission. This is a woman who's proving
- 40:54Speaker 8: you can be aspirational. You can go for being a
- 40:56Speaker 8: sixteen year old pregnant girl to be at the Dolcee
- 41:00Speaker 8: ban a fashion show in Italy and writing number one
- 41:02Speaker 8: of the polls in this country. So I think good honor.
- 41:07Speaker 1: Her hands up audience, members, particularly the women who would
- 41:10Speaker 1: have gone in her place in Lisa got who say no,
- 41:15Speaker 1: hse no, Lisa Di Nikko de Georgio. Thank you very
- 41:19Speaker 1: much to you both. After the break, Britain gets its
- 41:22Speaker 1: seventh prime minister in ten years, will you in fact
- 41:25Speaker 1: be one of the worst yet we'll cross the London Well,
- 41:32Speaker 1: like I said, I mean, Britain is becoming the Italy
- 41:37Speaker 1: of the North. Seventh prime minister today in just ten
- 41:41Speaker 1: years seven former Manchester City Mayor Andy Burnham replacing Keyostam,
- 41:46Speaker 1: who has been forced out for being so catastrophically unpopular
- 41:49Speaker 1: after just two helpless years. Well, let's talk about that
- 41:55Speaker 1: with Samara Gill, Talk TV hosts in London and our
- 41:58Speaker 1: Monday regular commentator Samara, Thanks for your ton. Has Burnham
- 42:04Speaker 1: yet said I think it's due to give a big
- 42:06Speaker 1: speech today? Has he yet said what he'll do that's different?
- 42:11Speaker 12: Look, all we're getting from him, Andrew is this sort
- 42:14Speaker 12: of John Lennon esque growth in every postcode, hope in
- 42:19Speaker 12: every heart. That's literally the campaign message that he's putting
- 42:23Speaker 12: towards the people. Nothing on immigration, pretty much, nothing on
- 42:27Speaker 12: foreign policy, and more importantly nothing on our healthcare system.
- 42:32Speaker 12: How our foreign debt is going to be dealt with,
- 42:34Speaker 12: and how our defense budget is going to be sequested.
- 42:38Speaker 12: So I think everyone's a little nervous and jittery, to
- 42:41Speaker 12: be honest, for the welcoming in of a prime minister
- 42:44Speaker 12: that we quite frankly know nothing about. This guy completely
- 42:48Speaker 12: operates on vibes and I'm not even joking here, he
- 42:52Speaker 12: really does that. He's only taken one interview in the
- 42:57Speaker 12: lead up to him taking over the prime ministership and.
- 43:00Speaker 1: That's with a ex footballer.
- 43:02Speaker 12: So it is really unseerious for a country that actually
- 43:06Speaker 12: needs someone with a bit of grit and determination right now.
- 43:10Speaker 12: You know, we're in time of great austerity over in
- 43:13Speaker 12: Britain and this guy is just dancing in like at
- 43:16Speaker 12: some sort of Oasis concert and thinking that he's going
- 43:19Speaker 12: to control the country in a very very ridiculous way.
- 43:28Speaker 1: It's so strange and you know, a big government, all
- 43:31Speaker 1: that kind of stuff and nationalizing potentially industries as a tip.
- 43:36Speaker 1: It's just doesn't he realize that Margaret Thatcher reformed all
- 43:40Speaker 1: that and made Britain work a bit better. I mean,
- 43:43Speaker 1: I talk about you know, going back to the past,
- 43:46Speaker 1: but why has Britain become what Italy used to be.
- 43:49Speaker 1: I mean, he's so unstable. Seven prime ministers in ten years.
- 43:53Speaker 1: How on earth has that happened.
- 43:56Speaker 12: It's a really good question, Andrew, and I think because
- 43:59Speaker 12: Britain is fundamentally broken. There are so many different systems
- 44:04Speaker 12: that need to be reformed in order to get the
- 44:06Speaker 12: country back on its feet. I think the Boris wave
- 44:10Speaker 12: of mass migration three point two million people coming into
- 44:13Speaker 12: the country over at one point two million in just
- 44:16Speaker 12: one year, which put massive amount of pressure on our
- 44:19Speaker 12: health systems, our housing markets, etc. Has been a real problem.
- 44:25Speaker 12: But also I think the fact that there's a litany
- 44:28Speaker 12: of mediocrity within Westminster. You know, Britain used to be
- 44:31Speaker 12: the country which produced some of the best and finest
- 44:35Speaker 12: in the world, and unfortunately politics is not what it
- 44:39Speaker 12: once was. When you look at someone like Andy Burnham,
- 44:42Speaker 12: he's mediocre at best. Keir Starmer, although to be honest,
- 44:47Speaker 12: he ticked a lot of boxers in terms of how
- 44:49Speaker 12: he was, you know, leader of the CPS. He was
- 44:51Speaker 12: a great barrister. Well he wasn't a great barrister. He
- 44:53Speaker 12: defended a lot of very questionable characters. But for a
- 44:56Speaker 12: labor leader, he wasn't bad, but I think the fact
- 44:59Speaker 12: that we keep putting mediocre people in positions of power
- 45:04Speaker 12: is a massive issue. And I think you're right, it's
- 45:06Speaker 12: completely destabilizing because, as you said, Burnham is coming in
- 45:10Speaker 12: and he's kind of throwing the mandate that Starmer got
- 45:13Speaker 12: elected on nearly two years ago out the window of
- 45:16Speaker 12: ten Downing Street, and he's going to replace the entire
- 45:19Speaker 12: Front Cabinet, which again will upend any of the policies
- 45:23Speaker 12: that they might have been trying to enact. So it
- 45:25Speaker 12: really is woeful and I think countries like China, Russia,
- 45:29Speaker 12: India are laughing at the fact that the UK, a
- 45:32Speaker 12: once great nation, seems to be in a shambles.
- 45:37Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I think also one of the problems is
- 45:39Speaker 1: what we're seeing here. You know, the Liberals and Conservatives
- 45:43Speaker 1: in Britain are turned into lay the light to you know,
- 45:47Speaker 1: will snooker them that way? And both don't. Neither party
- 45:51Speaker 1: now is has the solution to Britain's the client or
- 45:56Speaker 1: the leadership. So we shall see you if kemmy Bednock
- 46:00Speaker 1: or Nigia Farage they can do any different. Did Pauline
- 46:03Speaker 1: Hanson creating any waves at all in Britain during a visit.
- 46:07Speaker 1: I mean she gave a speech at a conference that
- 46:09Speaker 1: where tom was only a third full the Conservative one.
- 46:12Speaker 1: She did meet Nigel Faraj and Robert Jenrick of the
- 46:14Speaker 1: Reform Party and Tommy Robinson. But what media coverage, if any,
- 46:20Speaker 1: did she get over there.
- 46:23Speaker 12: It's a good question, Andrew. Honestly, she got a decent amount.
- 46:27Speaker 12: But I think her association with Tommy Robinson really hurt
- 46:30Speaker 12: her because he is not safe for press over here.
- 46:34Speaker 12: He's a very morally dubious character. Even people like Nigel
- 46:37Speaker 12: Farage will not associate with him, will not mention his name.
- 46:41Speaker 12: So I think she really did make a bad decision
- 46:44Speaker 12: making sure that she met up with him as soon
- 46:47Speaker 12: as she stepped foot in the country. I was at
- 46:49Speaker 12: Sea Park. I had a good chat with Pauline. She
- 46:52Speaker 12: actually came up to me saying that she watches our
- 46:55Speaker 12: segment on this show and that she enjoys it. And
- 46:58Speaker 12: I was sort of taking because I was like, Pauline,
- 47:01Speaker 12: what are you doing? I thought I was meant to
- 47:02Speaker 12: come up to you and interrogate what you're doing here
- 47:06Speaker 12: and what your sort of your policies for Australia are.
- 47:10Speaker 12: But she you know, she was there with Gina ryan Hart.
- 47:12Speaker 12: She didn't make I think as big a ways as
- 47:15Speaker 12: she probably wanted to be. She is a good export
- 47:18Speaker 12: for us because she speaks in a very very core
- 47:22Speaker 12: Australian accent, and people do love what she says. She's
- 47:25Speaker 12: a great communicator. But I'm not sure it was exactly
- 47:28Speaker 12: the trip that she might have envisioned. And as I said,
- 47:32Speaker 12: I think it's because she associated herself a little too
- 47:35Speaker 12: far right for her to have any commercial value over here.
- 47:40Speaker 1: I thought that was a big shame and a big mistake,
- 47:44Speaker 1: and I hope that she sees it as a mistake
- 47:46Speaker 1: instead of defending it. I got to say too, Sophie
- 47:49Speaker 1: ells with the Herold's son and she both Sky as well.
- 47:53Speaker 1: She's been there having fun, going around Glasgow with a
- 47:57Speaker 1: mock chick of nearly two million dollars, giving it to
- 48:01Speaker 1: locals there. That's the money that Victoria paid to hold
- 48:05Speaker 1: the Comwealth Games in Glasgow starts in less than a week,
- 48:09Speaker 1: compensation for having to pay for canceling the contract. You're
- 48:13Speaker 1: saying to hold the games of Victoria. It's such a
- 48:16Speaker 1: bustard flush. It's a really gratitude over there.
- 48:20Speaker 12: Honestly, Andrew, the roads in Victoria look like the surface
- 48:23Speaker 12: of the moon. Yet one of the biggest checks the
- 48:25Speaker 12: Victorian government has written lately was to cancel the games
- 48:28Speaker 12: that are promised to host. It's ridiculous. Only a state
- 48:31Speaker 12: like Victoria could manage to spend over almost two hundred
- 48:34Speaker 12: million dollars without actually hosting a single event. What are
- 48:38Speaker 12: shambles you know, Ambulance service targets missed, emergency services missed,
- 48:42Speaker 12: and waits and recycling seventy five percent of the targets missed.
- 48:45Speaker 12: Ridiculous and as.
- 48:48Speaker 1: You say, bustard roads that we burst our third tire
- 48:51Speaker 1: on them just the last week. Samara Gill, thank you
- 48:54Speaker 1: so much for your time.
- 48:55Speaker 8: Up.
- 48:55Speaker 1: There's Sherry Markson. She's back. Goodnighte
