- 0:00Speaker 1: Lately.
- 0:02Speaker 2: Welcome the late base.
- 0:07Speaker 1: Well, good evening. I'm James Macpherson with Liz Storer and
- 0:09Speaker 1: Caleb Bond coming up. What happens when Democrats are asked
- 0:13Speaker 1: to bear the burden of their own bad policies, Well,
- 0:15Speaker 1: they perform an Olympic Award winning backflip. That's what they do.
- 0:19Speaker 1: We'll show you one of those a little later. Plus,
- 0:22Speaker 1: when we look at the papers, interest rates on hold,
- 0:25Speaker 1: but the Reserve Bank governor says that's not to rule
- 0:28Speaker 1: out a future rise. And Australian mining companies invited to
- 0:32Speaker 1: dig up New Zealand. We'll get to all of that.
- 0:34Speaker 1: Plus when we look at the papers. Obviously, one of
- 0:37Speaker 1: the big stories tomorrow is today's Melbourne Cup. I just
- 0:40Speaker 1: want to let you know we will not let Caleb
- 0:42Speaker 1: Bond off the hook for his dodgy tips.
- 0:44Speaker 3: N Heyesingle when no, of course, you only have one win.
- 0:51Speaker 4: But one of the horses I tip came in third,
- 0:54Speaker 4: so don't totally canly.
- 0:55Speaker 1: Or well that's cold comfort when it came in third.
- 0:58Speaker 1: I tipped it to come in third, and as a result,
- 1:00Speaker 1: my pocket is a fair bit lighter.
- 1:02Speaker 5: Than how many times do I have to tell you
- 1:04Speaker 5: what trusted.
- 1:07Speaker 1: I believe him. We'll hold a little later, but first.
- 1:11Speaker 1: An Aboriginal land claim over a picturesque park in one
- 1:15Speaker 1: of Sydney's wealthiest suburbs has raised the question all over
- 1:19Speaker 1: again should Australian spaces be for Australians or should they
- 1:24Speaker 1: be divided up and given out on the base of race.
- 1:27Speaker 1: Mossman City Councils say they will fight the land claim
- 1:30Speaker 1: that would give freehold title of Little Ashton Park near
- 1:34Speaker 1: Taronga Zoo to an indigenous group. They'll argue the park
- 1:38Speaker 1: is regularly used by locals and so shouldn't be given
- 1:41Speaker 1: away to an aboriginal organization. The president of Mossman Parks
- 1:46Speaker 1: and bush Land Association, Kate Eccles, said, our position on
- 1:50Speaker 1: land claims is that public land should be for all
- 1:53Speaker 1: Australians and the problem with land claims is we often
- 1:57Speaker 1: don't know the intention for the land claim when they're submitted.
- 2:00Speaker 1: Is it to stay as public land for the benefit
- 2:02Speaker 1: of everyone or is there some other intention? The problem
- 2:05Speaker 1: is we don't know. It doesn't mean to say there
- 2:08Speaker 1: are plans to develop the land, but we'd be very
- 2:10Speaker 1: sorry if the park was to be lost. There's an
- 2:14Speaker 1: issue of principle. There's an issue of process and there's
- 2:17Speaker 1: a massive paradox here. On principle. The president of the
- 2:21Speaker 1: Bush and Parklands Association is absolutely correct. Australian land should
- 2:25Speaker 1: be for Australians. Didn't we change the national anthem to
- 2:29Speaker 1: sing we are One and free? And it was only
- 2:32Speaker 1: last October we held a referendum and to be fair,
- 2:35Speaker 1: it was about a voice to Parliament, but the No
- 2:37Speaker 1: campaign made the campaign broader than that. They asked Australians
- 2:41Speaker 1: to reject dividing us by race and that resonated with
- 2:45Speaker 1: the population. Sixty percent said we agree, we don't want
- 2:49Speaker 1: to be divided by race. That's the principle. There's also
- 2:52Speaker 1: an issue of process here, and that is that most
- 2:55Speaker 1: of these land claims are secretive. This particular one in
- 2:59Speaker 1: Moss was made in two thousand and nine, that's fifteen
- 3:03Speaker 1: years ago, but it's only now come to public attention
- 3:06Speaker 1: that the Council has been asked to respond. These land
- 3:10Speaker 1: claims are kept secret out of commercial sensitivities for the
- 3:14Speaker 1: indigenous groups. But what about sensitivities to locals? What about
- 3:18Speaker 1: taking local people into account? For a number of years now,
- 3:22Speaker 1: locals around that park have spent hundreds of hours volunteering
- 3:26Speaker 1: planting seven hundred trees, giving up their time to remove
- 3:29Speaker 1: noxious weeds, the whole time oblivious to the fact there's
- 3:32Speaker 1: a land claim sitting in a government office and the
- 3:35Speaker 1: property may be taken away from general use. Twenty six
- 3:40Speaker 1: thousand land claims currently exist in New South Wales, most
- 3:43Speaker 1: of them unknown to the public. And then Calebin lives.
- 3:47Speaker 1: There's a massive paradox here, and that is that, as
- 3:49Speaker 1: I said, sixty percent of Australian said we don't want
- 3:52Speaker 1: to be divided by race. But I'll tell you one
- 3:55Speaker 1: electorate in this country where it was almost an inverse
- 3:58Speaker 1: of that result. In Waring, which incorporates Mossman, fifty nine
- 4:03Speaker 1: and a half percent of people voted yes. Now here's
- 4:06Speaker 1: the problem. They now don't want their park to be
- 4:09Speaker 1: given to people on the basis of race. Well, if
- 4:11Speaker 1: you don't want the country divided by race, you have
- 4:15Speaker 1: to stand on principles, and that is we are one,
- 4:18Speaker 1: so you don't start down that road in the first place.
- 4:22Speaker 1: So there's the irony. They voted yes to the voice
- 4:24Speaker 1: and I'll say, oh, but we didn't think our park
- 4:26Speaker 1: would be taken from it.
- 4:27Speaker 4: You might say, you get what you deserve, but thankfully
- 4:30Speaker 4: the rest of the country is a little more sensible
- 4:32Speaker 4: and sorted that one out. The fact that this system
- 4:34Speaker 4: exists in the first place is the problem here, right.
- 4:37Speaker 4: You can't blame the local Aboriginal land councils for whacking
- 4:41Speaker 4: in these claims because the law says that's what they
- 4:44Speaker 4: ought to do.
- 4:45Speaker 1: Correct.
- 4:45Speaker 4: There is a system that exists whereby supposedly, if a
- 4:49Speaker 4: piece of land, piece of public land, is not used
- 4:52Speaker 4: for its intended purpose for a number of years, an
- 4:55Speaker 4: Aboriginal land council can make a claim to the state
- 4:58Speaker 4: government and said, say we want at freehold. In what
- 5:01Speaker 4: world does that make any sense? Like someone just gets
- 5:04Speaker 4: to wander in and say, oh, well that's currently not
- 5:06Speaker 4: being used by someone else, therefore it should be mine. Well, no,
- 5:11Speaker 4: it doesn't work like that. Because it's public land. It
- 5:14Speaker 4: is owned by everyone. It's owned in most cases by
- 5:17Speaker 4: either the state government or the council for the benefit
- 5:21Speaker 4: of all the people in the state or all the
- 5:24Speaker 4: people in the council. A system whereby on the basis
- 5:27Speaker 4: of race, and this is separate from native title, which
- 5:30Speaker 4: has different rules and regulations around what you can do
- 5:33Speaker 4: with the land. A system whereby on the basis of race,
- 5:37Speaker 4: you can be given freehold land for free that you
- 5:41Speaker 4: could then sell, you could then potentially develop, you could
- 5:45Speaker 4: do all sorts of things with is racist and it
- 5:48Speaker 4: is ridiculous.
- 5:49Speaker 2: And I remember cases, and.
- 5:50Speaker 4: We'll talk about this in a minute, but there was
- 5:53Speaker 4: one in Balmoral Beach earlier this year.
- 5:56Speaker 5: I think it was were September last year, and I think.
- 5:59Speaker 4: The appeal on that ended in June. They haven't been
- 6:02Speaker 4: successful with that one, thank god. But again it was
- 6:04Speaker 4: a different land council that wanted all of this land
- 6:06Speaker 4: near Balmoral Beach, and when that came to light, I
- 6:09Speaker 4: think a lot of people went, we've never heard of
- 6:11Speaker 4: this system before, whereby you can just get freehold title
- 6:14Speaker 4: land for zero dollars. There was all these stories coming
- 6:17Speaker 4: out about what had happened with land that had been
- 6:20Speaker 4: handed over, and one of the ones that sticks in
- 6:22Speaker 4: my mind was a piece of land in front of
- 6:24Speaker 4: a fire station that had been handed over because that
- 6:27Speaker 4: particular tract of land was public land and the driveway
- 6:30Speaker 4: into the fire station ran through that piece of land,
- 6:33Speaker 4: and so the fieries had to pay rent to the
- 6:37Speaker 4: local Aboriginal Land Corporation so they could drive their trucks
- 6:40Speaker 4: over the driveway. This is what happens in a racist
- 6:44Speaker 4: system like this.
- 6:45Speaker 2: It should not exist.
- 6:46Speaker 3: So you say you can't blame these Aboriginal land councils.
- 6:50Speaker 5: For having to go. I mean, the system's in place,
- 6:52Speaker 5: so why wouldn't you apply?
- 6:53Speaker 3: But you can because according to the Aboriginal Lands Rights Act,
- 6:58Speaker 3: which is what they're using, nineteen eighty three, that is
- 7:02Speaker 3: the mechanism by which they're applying for these plots of
- 7:05Speaker 3: crown land because they can. But that act specifically says
- 7:10Speaker 3: only bother applying for land that fits this description, which
- 7:16Speaker 3: is not used, not occupied, not needed or likely to
- 7:21Speaker 3: be needed for an essential public purpose. Now, these guys
- 7:26Speaker 3: keep going after prime spots of land, the one you
- 7:29Speaker 3: just spoke about in Valmorl that's also same council, same
- 7:34Speaker 3: Mossman council, has to keep batting these away.
- 7:38Speaker 5: This is prime real estate. For those of you unfamiliar
- 7:41Speaker 5: with New.
- 7:41Speaker 3: South Wales, Mosmen is where the upper echelons of society live.
- 7:46Speaker 3: Mossman is where you choose to live if you don't
- 7:49Speaker 3: want to come into contact with the great Unwashed Mosman
- 7:53Speaker 3: is where everyone dreams of living one day. Okay, So
- 7:57Speaker 3: these Indigenous land councils apply for these plots of land
- 8:01Speaker 3: that are worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and there's
- 8:05Speaker 3: not an inch of mossman that isn't already used, okay,
- 8:08Speaker 3: because every single inch of it is beautiful. So it's
- 8:12Speaker 3: either privately owned or it's publicly very much appreciated by
- 8:17Speaker 3: absolutely everyone here. The point in fact here, though, is
- 8:21Speaker 3: that this horse has bolted. You mentioned we've changed our
- 8:25Speaker 3: anthem to we are one and free. Well we need
- 8:27Speaker 3: to change it again because we are absolutely not one.
- 8:31Speaker 3: As of June last year, Aborigines and torrest Rait Islanders
- 8:35Speaker 3: had control, end or owned seventeen percent of Australia's land mass.
- 8:41Speaker 3: Over forty percent is under native title. Our country has
- 8:46Speaker 3: been carved up right under our noses. It's continuing to
- 8:50Speaker 3: be carved up. And we don't know when when these
- 8:54Speaker 3: land councils a given freehold title, which means, as Caleb said,
- 9:00Speaker 3: they can develop it, they can do whatever they want
- 9:03Speaker 3: with it.
- 9:03Speaker 5: We don't know who then has control of that land.
- 9:07Speaker 3: And like this woman said, the association president Kate Eccles,
- 9:12Speaker 3: what their intention is now we know that there has
- 9:16Speaker 3: to be some intention. Otherwise you wouldn't apply to have
- 9:19Speaker 3: freehold title. If you just were like, oh, we're not
- 9:22Speaker 3: going to touch anything and it's going to be business
- 9:23Speaker 3: as usual, nobody will even know what happened. Why would
- 9:27Speaker 3: you apply for it in the first place. The sad
- 9:30Speaker 3: truth of the matter is, I just think there's no
- 9:33Speaker 3: walking this back either. What leadership, state or federal is
- 9:37Speaker 3: going to come into power and say, actually, I'm terf
- 9:40Speaker 3: and all that we are one nation and we're not
- 9:44Speaker 3: going to do that anymore.
- 9:45Speaker 4: Well, you mentioned before, James, the fact that there's no
- 9:47Speaker 4: transparency in this system. I mean, this application has been
- 9:51Speaker 4: lying around since two thousand and nine. And another example
- 9:54Speaker 4: of this down in Victoria, this time involving rock climbing. Now,
- 9:58Speaker 4: in Victoria they have of the biggest rock climbing area,
- 10:02Speaker 4: some of the most popular rock climbing areas in the
- 10:05Speaker 4: world in one case now and this came down from
- 10:09Speaker 4: the Victorian government last night, right so on the eve
- 10:13Speaker 4: of the Melbourne Cup, on the eve of the US election,
- 10:17Speaker 4: when they know that the new cycle is going to
- 10:19Speaker 4: be dominated by other things. The Victorian government tells rock
- 10:23Speaker 4: climbers in Victoria and the rest of the world that
- 10:27Speaker 4: half of their rock climbing spaces are probably going to.
- 10:30Speaker 6: Be taken away from them. No, this is not a joke.
- 10:33Speaker 4: This is going on in the Grampians Mount Arapiles. They
- 10:37Speaker 4: are being told that literally half of this could be
- 10:40Speaker 4: banned on the.
- 10:41Speaker 6: Basis of cultural heritage.
- 10:44Speaker 4: Now there's been an investigation, a secret investigation that's been
- 10:48Speaker 4: going on into cultural heritage since twenty twenty. Parks Victoria
- 10:53Speaker 4: says that between November twenty twenty and February twenty twenty three,
- 10:57Speaker 4: Parks Victoria, with the support of the Barringhi Gadgean Land
- 11:01Speaker 4: Council another Aboriginal land Council, conducted archaeological and environmental surveys
- 11:07Speaker 4: at Mount Arapiles and Mita Rock in the do You
- 11:10Speaker 4: write Cultural Landscape. These surveys were intended to record cultural heritage,
- 11:15Speaker 4: regionally significant threatened plants and investigate the impacts of recreational
- 11:19Speaker 4: activities on this rich cultural and environmental landscape. And on
- 11:23Speaker 4: the basis of these reports, they are said now to
- 11:26Speaker 4: be banning half of the rock climbing space.
- 11:30Speaker 2: But they won't release the reports. They won't tell.
- 11:33Speaker 4: Us what is actually in them, so we can see
- 11:36Speaker 4: why we are no longer allowed to climb rocks in
- 11:41Speaker 4: our own country. Save Grampians Climbing has been a group
- 11:44Speaker 4: fighting against this. They said it was a wipe folks.
- 11:47Speaker 4: The literal beating heart of climbing in Australia has been
- 11:50Speaker 4: ripped out and discarded, and once again we cannot see
- 11:56Speaker 4: why they just tell us it's a cultural heritage problem.
- 12:00Speaker 4: I'm here therefore, you as Australians and people internationally.
- 12:04Speaker 2: I mean the money this brings into the Grampians.
- 12:06Speaker 4: People come from all around the world to go rock
- 12:08Speaker 4: climbing in the Grampians. It is the place right and
- 12:11Speaker 4: we're now told that half of it's going to be
- 12:13Speaker 4: locked up on the basis of cultural heritage, that none
- 12:16Speaker 4: of us can be availed off because that's dangerous.
- 12:18Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 12:19Speaker 1: Some of the information in this story is quite astonishing.
- 12:21Speaker 1: A lot of the rock art is reportedly invisible to
- 12:25Speaker 1: the naked eye, so we're not talking about really obvious
- 12:29Speaker 1: things here. There's things that climbers had to be asked
- 12:33Speaker 1: to provide the location of different sites because no one
- 12:37Speaker 1: else was aware of it. So prior to climbers themselves
- 12:42Speaker 1: reporting oh we've seen this or this. No one even
- 12:44Speaker 1: knew these sites were there. And then the Australian newspaper
- 12:47Speaker 1: reported that some of these protected sites were quote large
- 12:51Speaker 1: stone tool quarrying and manufacturing sites. And I don't mean
- 12:56Speaker 1: to be disrespectful, but when you're talking about thousands of
- 13:00Speaker 1: years ago, I'm not sure you would call bits of
- 13:03Speaker 1: rock used to chip off other bits of rock manufacturing sites.
- 13:07Speaker 1: It's almost like any evidence of past aboriginal activity, no
- 13:11Speaker 1: matter how mundane, automatically renders a location to be sacred
- 13:15Speaker 1: and therefore unavailable for use by anyone else, except perhaps
- 13:19Speaker 1: if there's a fee paid and some sort of regular
- 13:22Speaker 1: ceremony carried out. And you mentioned this news was dropped
- 13:26Speaker 1: on the eve of the Melbourne Cup holiday. There's been
- 13:30Speaker 1: a consultation invited twenty eight days for submissions, but those
- 13:35Speaker 1: applying online to submit their feelings about this decision are
- 13:41Speaker 1: told quote, this consultation will not be reversing any changes
- 13:44Speaker 1: to the areas that need to be protected. So what
- 13:46Speaker 1: sort of consultation is it when you're told, by the
- 13:49Speaker 1: way really not submit your opinion. We want you to
- 13:51Speaker 1: know your opinion is not going to change anything. We'd
- 13:54Speaker 1: love to hear from.
- 13:55Speaker 5: You, but you were consulted, so you can't complain. Now.
- 13:59Speaker 3: This is on top of already iconic rock climbing routes
- 14:03Speaker 3: being closed years ago in the Grampians.
- 14:05Speaker 5: And I remember that.
- 14:07Speaker 3: Because me and my family when I was a kid,
- 14:09Speaker 3: we used to holiday there all the time and Dad
- 14:12Speaker 3: would take us kids on one of seven.
- 14:14Speaker 5: So it's a real trek up on these iconic.
- 14:18Speaker 3: Stunningly beautiful We thought we were rock climbing. Really it's
- 14:22Speaker 3: a beautiful trek with some like two second like uphills.
- 14:26Speaker 5: I was a little fatty, so I was only.
- 14:28Speaker 3: There with a chocolate break stat and stop and be
- 14:30Speaker 3: like do we need sustenance And I'd be.
- 14:33Speaker 2: Like, oh yeah, crumbs, the.
- 14:35Speaker 5: Yeah, crumbs. The cat over here.
- 14:37Speaker 3: But the list of these iconic Australian stunning sceneries that
- 14:45Speaker 3: are being ripped away from everyday Australians making memories of
- 14:49Speaker 3: a lifetime, I'll never.
- 14:51Speaker 5: Forget those Grampians.
- 14:52Speaker 3: There was the Elephants High There was some of them,
- 14:54Speaker 3: I remember their names, but they were all stunningly beautiful
- 14:57Speaker 3: and we holidayed there regularly. Which is the most beautiful
- 15:01Speaker 3: national park in New South Wales.
- 15:03Speaker 5: You can't go there anymore.
- 15:05Speaker 3: Sorry, you're white as rock, can't climb that anymore?
- 15:09Speaker 5: Sorry, why you're white?
- 15:12Speaker 3: Saint Mary's Peak in South Australia, Flinders Rangers, the tallest.
- 15:16Speaker 5: Peak, the best of the lot.
- 15:18Speaker 3: You can't go to the summit anymore because well, your
- 15:22Speaker 3: white glasshouse Mountains in Queensland, three of the summits have
- 15:26Speaker 3: been closed to you because I'm sorry, wrong skilled, skin color,
- 15:31Speaker 3: wrong ethnicity, you're not indigenous. You can't go here, as
- 15:35Speaker 3: well as Mount Gillen in Alice Springs, close to the
- 15:39Speaker 3: rest of us, but available to others.
- 15:42Speaker 5: When is enough going to be enough?
- 15:44Speaker 3: I mean, if you just keep this list, every time
- 15:49Speaker 3: one of these stories comes out, you add to it
- 15:51Speaker 3: and you're just like, how how much is too much?
- 15:55Speaker 5: Like, at what point are we going to go?
- 15:57Speaker 3: Look, we did actually take it all when he came.
- 16:00Speaker 3: I mean that's what you do. So unless you give
- 16:03Speaker 3: it all back and we just clear out like we
- 16:06Speaker 3: often joke about, which will never happen, then it's never
- 16:10Speaker 3: going to be enough.
- 16:11Speaker 4: Anwother thing I don't get is from a cultural heritage perspective,
- 16:14Speaker 4: If you want to tell the story of these areas,
- 16:17Speaker 4: surely the best way to do it and to endear
- 16:19Speaker 4: people to the stories is to actually get them to
- 16:22Speaker 4: come and enjoy the spaces. And so if they come
- 16:25Speaker 4: and they climb at the Grampians or they walk up
- 16:27Speaker 4: Eolarou or whatever, and there's a story to go along
- 16:30Speaker 4: with it, does that not add to the experience and
- 16:33Speaker 4: actually educate people at the same time. Would you not
- 16:36Speaker 4: be more inclined to learn about the local Aboriginal history
- 16:40Speaker 4: if you could participate in the history while you're there.
- 16:43Speaker 2: I don't get it from that perspective.
- 16:44Speaker 1: I mean there's the internal contradictions too, because indigenous groups
- 16:47Speaker 1: themselves disagree over what should be protected and what should not.
- 16:51Speaker 1: I think in Mount Warning there's certain indigenous groups that
- 16:53Speaker 1: wants to be able to climate and they're not allowed
- 16:55Speaker 1: to climb it either because of other indigenous grips. So
- 16:58Speaker 1: the whole thing is messed up. And then there's the
- 17:00Speaker 1: penalties in Victoria. If you are now found to be
- 17:03Speaker 1: climbing in one of these sacred or protected culturally heritage
- 17:06Speaker 1: cultural heritage protected sites, it's a three hundred thousand dollar
- 17:10Speaker 1: five Oh my gosh.
- 17:11Speaker 5: Imagine doing that by accident. And they're like.
- 17:14Speaker 3: Excuse me, you're not indigenous. That'll be three hundred thousand smackers.
- 17:19Speaker 3: Thank you very much to the US. Now, where as
- 17:22Speaker 3: we know it's finally happening, you're probably already tired of
- 17:26Speaker 3: hearing about it.
- 17:27Speaker 5: And think of how tired we are talking about it.
- 17:29Speaker 1: But the polls are open.
- 17:31Speaker 5: It is a morrow. Now, you'll be watching tomorrow. We'll
- 17:35Speaker 5: all be glued.
- 17:35Speaker 3: We've all got our lifetime supply of popcorn stocked up.
- 17:38Speaker 3: But I tell you who has disappeared from the campaign
- 17:41Speaker 3: trail since Saturday, and that is the current President, Joe Biden.
- 17:46Speaker 3: Because just days after he called hundreds of millions of
- 17:51Speaker 3: Americans garbage for supporting Donald Trump, he gave his last
- 17:56Speaker 3: speech at Scranton, Pennsylvania, and this time decided to tell
- 18:01Speaker 3: them all exactly what he'd like to do to those Republicans.
- 18:07Speaker 7: Now, I know some of you guys are attempted to
- 18:09Speaker 7: think as much your guys.
- 18:10Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, man, and I'm.
- 18:12Speaker 3: Serious, these are the kind of guys you like to
- 18:15Speaker 3: smack an ass. A lot of commentators at this point
- 18:21Speaker 3: are just saying this guy hates Kamala. They keep pushing
- 18:25Speaker 3: him out on the campaign trail. He does these one
- 18:28Speaker 3: liner gaffs that then dominate the media. She gets she's
- 18:31Speaker 3: gasping for air with regards to media attention because this
- 18:35Speaker 3: guy says one little line like Republicans are garbage.
- 18:40Speaker 5: I want to smack their asses.
- 18:42Speaker 3: And that dominates the media for hours and hours. Well,
- 18:46Speaker 3: Elon Musk was very quick to respond to this, tweeting,
- 18:50Speaker 3: first he calls me gay, then he says he wants to.
- 18:54Speaker 5: Touch my ass.
- 18:57Speaker 3: It's not hard to figure out which side of this
- 18:59Speaker 3: debate has the better sense of humor. Ladies and gentlemen,
- 19:02Speaker 3: but get this. At least Joe has some funny gaffs.
- 19:07Speaker 3: All Kamala has every time she takes the stage is
- 19:12Speaker 3: just a copy paste of what she said at the
- 19:15Speaker 3: last rally and the rally before that, and the rally
- 19:18Speaker 3: before that.
- 19:20Speaker 1: Are you ready to make your voices her?
- 19:26Speaker 8: Do we believe it?
- 19:27Speaker 2: Form?
- 19:29Speaker 3: Do we believe in?
- 19:31Speaker 8: Johnny?
- 19:33Speaker 7: Don't believe?
- 19:35Speaker 5: I don't remember her?
- 19:48Speaker 3: Really, you can come up with a slightly different version.
- 19:52Speaker 5: I mean, they're just hours apart. Some of these rallies.
- 19:55Speaker 5: You can get a speech writer to just throwing a.
- 19:57Speaker 3: Few one liners unique to the last one. No, that's
- 20:00Speaker 3: all She's capable of and that's all they've got. I mean,
- 20:04Speaker 3: it's just sad at this point, and I'm glad it's
- 20:06Speaker 3: almost over right. It is finally polling day. We can
- 20:10Speaker 3: just count the votes and get on with the rest
- 20:12Speaker 3: of it.
- 20:13Speaker 4: Poor old Joe Biden, I mean, because he's from Scrans
- 20:15Speaker 4: in Pennsylvania, right, and Pennsylvania, as we know, is one
- 20:18Speaker 4: of the swing states that.
- 20:19Speaker 6: Will probably decide this election.
- 20:22Speaker 4: And he gets told after being booted from the Canada,
- 20:25Speaker 4: to see, you know, he's got his final months in office,
- 20:28Speaker 4: and clearly he's been told in the dying days of
- 20:30Speaker 4: the campaign.
- 20:31Speaker 2: Sorry, buddy, we.
- 20:32Speaker 6: Don't want you any needed.
- 20:34Speaker 4: The blokes will just come out and go rogue. I
- 20:37Speaker 4: want to see Joe Bide doing like this this morning,
- 20:40Speaker 4: as in US time, this morning. So when I go
- 20:42Speaker 4: home tonight and people are waking up in the US
- 20:45Speaker 4: and getting ready to go out to vote, and I'll
- 20:47Speaker 4: be watching the coverage on Fox at you know, about
- 20:49Speaker 4: two am this morning, our time, I want to see
- 20:52Speaker 4: Joe Biden coming out walking around telling people to vote
- 20:56Speaker 4: Donald Trump. I want to see him walking around saying
- 20:59Speaker 4: that's silent. They've bound me up and put me in
- 21:02Speaker 4: a bunker somewhere, like just go road, mate, come out
- 21:06Speaker 4: and tell us exactly what you think about Kamala Harris.
- 21:09Speaker 4: That could tip the election, I think. But the bull bugger,
- 21:12Speaker 4: you know, all these years in public life and then
- 21:14Speaker 4: in the last moments of it he's told, sorry, mate,
- 21:16Speaker 4: we that wants you any book.
- 21:17Speaker 1: The way this election has gone, that would not surprise.
- 21:19Speaker 1: I mean, you would believe anything at the moment. But
- 21:22Speaker 1: like you say, he's not wanted in Pennsylvania though it's
- 21:25Speaker 1: his home state. But they've got Oprah, they've got Lady Gaga,
- 21:28Speaker 1: but they don't want the sitting president of the United
- 21:31Speaker 1: States anywhere near the place. And do you remember when
- 21:33Speaker 1: Biden dropped out of the race and Donald Trump spent
- 21:37Speaker 1: a couple of weeks kind of adjusting because he was
- 21:40Speaker 1: really enjoying the idea of taking on Joe Biden and
- 21:44Speaker 1: he had to recalibrate for Kamala Harris. But then every
- 21:47Speaker 1: time Biden opens his mouth, for instance, Biden called everybody
- 21:50Speaker 1: garbage and Trump immediately had a garbage truck, had the
- 21:54Speaker 1: garbage collector outfit on. Trump really likes campaigning against Joe
- 21:58Speaker 1: Biden and Joe Biden and keeps giving him opportunities to
- 22:02Speaker 1: do so with that Kamala Harris grab where you had
- 22:04Speaker 1: the three rallies where she's sang the same thing. But
- 22:08Speaker 1: my disappointment in our producers with that clip. I really
- 22:11Speaker 1: wanted them to zoom in so we could see the
- 22:13Speaker 1: strings on Kamale.
- 22:15Speaker 4: Because it was she had it right down to the
- 22:17Speaker 4: movements the.
- 22:19Speaker 2: Same. If she's not scripted, she can't say.
- 22:23Speaker 4: And you mentioned Oprah there right now through all of
- 22:26Speaker 4: the swing states, they've been doing a blitz with these rallies.
- 22:29Speaker 4: Oprah got up today and spoke and went to the
- 22:33Speaker 4: old grab bag, the same stuff that we know led
- 22:37Speaker 4: to people trying to shoot at Donald Trump. Oh, he's
- 22:40Speaker 4: a threat to democracy, he's a dictator. Most recently we've
- 22:44Speaker 4: been told he's literally hitler. Well, Oprah repeated the same
- 22:48Speaker 4: lines today, saying, look, Donald Trump comes along, democracy.
- 22:52Speaker 8: Could put We don't get to set this one out.
- 23:01Speaker 8: If we don't show up tomorrow, it is entirely possible
- 23:07Speaker 8: that we will not have the opportunity to ever cast
- 23:10Speaker 8: a ballot again.
- 23:13Speaker 4: Okay, yes it is possible, but it's also possible if
- 23:18Speaker 4: people don't show up to vote tomorrow, that I will
- 23:21Speaker 4: get hit by a bus on my way to the
- 23:24Speaker 4: studio tomorrow.
- 23:25Speaker 2: Anything is possible, Oprah.
- 23:27Speaker 4: You don't just get to get away with it by
- 23:29Speaker 4: saying that it is honestly preposterous that even at this
- 23:34Speaker 4: point they're still running these same old lines. There is
- 23:37Speaker 4: no one left well, I hope not. There is no
- 23:40Speaker 4: one left in America who is sitting there today or
- 23:44Speaker 4: tomorrow whatever it's about five am or so in the
- 23:48Speaker 4: US at.
- 23:48Speaker 2: The moment, sitting there going hmm.
- 23:51Speaker 4: I haven't really been inclined to go out and vote
- 23:54Speaker 4: yet in this election, but Oprah told me that if
- 23:57Speaker 4: I don't go out and vote tomorrow and Donald Trump
- 23:59Speaker 4: gets a it will.
- 24:00Speaker 2: Be the last election the ever I must go and vote.
- 24:03Speaker 2: Does anyone believe this?
- 24:05Speaker 3: Non interestingly, this is exactly what Elon Musk said to
- 24:09Speaker 3: Joe Rogan the most watched podscast in the world, because
- 24:14Speaker 3: he said, this will be the last election if the
- 24:17Speaker 3: Dems get up. Yes, because again with regard to the
- 24:20Speaker 3: millions of illegals they've let flood into the country. In
- 24:24Speaker 3: four years time, those guys are going to be established.
- 24:26Speaker 3: They will be on the electoral votes. And as Elon says,
- 24:30Speaker 3: the rest of the country will be exactly like California,
- 24:34Speaker 3: which is deadlocked blue. There is absolutely no way around it.
- 24:37Speaker 3: That state will eternally be blue. And the reason why
- 24:42Speaker 3: the Democrats facilitated millions of illegals flooding into the country
- 24:47Speaker 3: and made sure to funnel them into very well planned
- 24:50Speaker 3: out cities and states was to ensure that they would
- 24:55Speaker 3: be elected, especially in the years to come, even if
- 24:59Speaker 3: they lose this election. It's a very worrying figure. So
- 25:03Speaker 3: he's saying the same thing as Oprah, essentially, but for
- 25:06Speaker 3: a very different reason.
- 25:08Speaker 1: That the amazing thing is that the Democrats keep repeating
- 25:11Speaker 1: these outlandish lies. I mean, we've been told that if
- 25:14Speaker 1: Trump wins, he'll put Asians in internment camps. Women have
- 25:18Speaker 1: been told if Trump wins, he will monitor every pregnancy
- 25:20Speaker 1: in the United States. It's just to make sure they
- 25:23Speaker 1: go full term personally, Actually.
- 25:24Speaker 4: Is you going to come and he'll ill come and
- 25:26Speaker 4: be the gynecologist?
- 25:27Speaker 2: Still, I'll do it all.
- 25:28Speaker 1: We've been told that there is the military against his opponents,
- 25:32Speaker 1: all sorts of things. And clearly the Democrats think that
- 25:35Speaker 1: voters are absolute idiots.
- 25:37Speaker 5: Well Democrat voters are. They're appealing to the base.
- 25:40Speaker 1: You know, Speaking of which, a little bit has been
- 25:43Speaker 1: made of the Australian ambassador in the United States at
- 25:46Speaker 1: the Albans, who could be in some trouble. Kevin r
- 25:49Speaker 1: What are you sorry so I want to get onto
- 25:50Speaker 1: alberin Ez.
- 25:52Speaker 2: You've not broken a story on the lake?
- 25:55Speaker 5: You heard any ladies and gentlemen. We wish he was
- 25:59Speaker 5: in the state.
- 26:00Speaker 1: Kevin Rudd is our ambassador in the US. It could
- 26:02Speaker 1: be in some trouble if Trump wins because he said
- 26:04Speaker 1: some horrible things about Donald Trump. But to give Kevin
- 26:08Speaker 1: Rudd his due, when he said horrible things about Donald Trump,
- 26:12Speaker 1: Donald Trump was no longer the president and Kevin Rudd
- 26:15Speaker 1: was no longer serving in any official government position, unlike
- 26:19Speaker 1: Anthony Albanezi, our current Prime minister, who back in twenty
- 26:23Speaker 1: seventeen was the opposition transport spokesperson and he had these
- 26:29Speaker 1: things to say about Donald Trump back then. How do
- 26:33Speaker 1: you deal with Trump?
- 26:34Speaker 2: Like with trepidation?
- 26:37Speaker 1: Yeah, but how do you get by like what do
- 26:40Speaker 1: you tempt your language?
- 26:42Speaker 2: Well, you've got to deal with who was elected.
- 26:46Speaker 7: So we're have an alliance with the US, We're going
- 26:48Speaker 7: to deal with him. But that doesn't mean that you're
- 26:52Speaker 7: uncritical about it. He's scarce out of me, And I
- 26:57Speaker 7: think it's of some concern that the leader of the
- 27:01Speaker 7: free world thinks that you can conduct politics through one
- 27:05Speaker 7: hundred and forty characters on Twitter.
- 27:08Speaker 1: Well, if Trump scares the bejeebas out of Anthey Albanesi,
- 27:11Speaker 1: Anthe Alberanesi scares the hell out of most of us.
- 27:14Speaker 1: But certainly now our prime minister is starting on the
- 27:17Speaker 1: back foot with a second Trump presidency after those remarks,
- 27:21Speaker 1: Kevin Rudd is not our biggest problem.
- 27:23Speaker 3: You don't scare the bejimis out of anybody.
- 27:27Speaker 1: Are serious if you look at the economy, the cost
- 27:29Speaker 1: of living.
- 27:30Speaker 3: No, what he is talking about is Trump being a
- 27:34Speaker 3: fearsome person. Yeah, because it is not a limp wristed
- 27:37Speaker 3: loser man, and he does command millions with his one
- 27:41Speaker 3: hundred and forty characters that you're making fun of. It
- 27:44Speaker 3: amuses me no end when these men who are not
- 27:48Speaker 3: one tenth of another man's consequence take to picking on
- 27:53Speaker 3: that guy, Like you've heard similar from Turnbull, just totally
- 27:57Speaker 3: trashing Trump, and you're like, when you have an ounce
- 28:00Speaker 3: of that guy's consequence, then come birching and moaning to
- 28:04Speaker 3: us until then just shut up. It makes you look
- 28:07Speaker 3: like this weak little gnat in this giant titan's presence,
- 28:12Speaker 3: and you're just yapping away at their hills, being like, yeah,
- 28:14Speaker 3: well they're an idiot and I hate them by they
- 28:17Speaker 3: scare their sahi t out of me, Like what a loser.
- 28:20Speaker 4: The look of him there, the notch in the chairman's
- 28:22Speaker 4: lound might have been scared of him.
- 28:24Speaker 6: Circle twenty seven. He's lost a lot of weight.
- 28:27Speaker 4: I look a bit like mister Albertezy in that circumstance personally.
- 28:31Speaker 4: But before we move on, you know, forget about everything
- 28:34Speaker 4: we just talked about. I'm now going to bring you
- 28:36Speaker 4: the most important story in the US election.
- 28:39Speaker 2: Right.
- 28:40Speaker 4: Forget about the posters, forget about me, forget about everyone
- 28:43Speaker 4: else you've watched on Sky News tonight telling you who's
- 28:45Speaker 4: going to win the election. A hipp ho has decided yes.
- 28:49Speaker 4: A pygmy hippopotamus in Thailand known as Mu Ding, a
- 28:53Speaker 4: very popular online went viral a few weeks ago because
- 28:57Speaker 4: you can look at her there, she's so cute. She
- 28:59Speaker 4: has Donald Trump on top of the watermelon she is eating. There,
- 29:05Speaker 4: you can see it, says Donald Trump in Thai. I
- 29:08Speaker 4: can't actually read it. But anyway, Mooding has decided Trump
- 29:11Speaker 4: is going to win the election.
- 29:13Speaker 6: There's no arguing with that.
- 29:14Speaker 2: If Mooding says it, it's got.
- 29:16Speaker 6: To be true.
- 29:16Speaker 1: I cannot around these stories have poles every election. There
- 29:20Speaker 1: is like an octopus that yes, isn't there a crocodile
- 29:23Speaker 1: in North Queens? And who chooses every election?
- 29:26Speaker 2: Do people seriously the attention?
- 29:28Speaker 3: What does this say about us as a species? Are
- 29:30Speaker 3: we really this board where he's just baby hippo in
- 29:33Speaker 3: Thailand was given two watermelons and chose the one with
- 29:37Speaker 3: Trump written on it, like, yes, this is news ladies
- 29:40Speaker 3: and gentlemen.
- 29:41Speaker 5: But it has gone.
- 29:42Speaker 3: Viral, which always makes me ask myself, what does this
- 29:45Speaker 3: say about us as a specie?
- 29:47Speaker 1: Well, we're not superstitious at all, but the hippopotamus did
- 29:50Speaker 1: say we're talking about anti Albanesi. Of course, he's been
- 29:53Speaker 1: in the wars with revelations that he was a very
- 29:56Speaker 1: frequent flyer with Quantus when he was in opposition as
- 30:01Speaker 1: the transport spokesperson, he had something like twenty two upgrades
- 30:05Speaker 1: worth something like six figures, and of course that's been
- 30:10Speaker 1: a massive headache for him. Will now Quantus, in one
- 30:12Speaker 1: of those moves that makes you go HM, have instituted
- 30:16Speaker 1: a training course for all of their staff. It just
- 30:18Speaker 1: began yesterday, as coincidence would have it, warning employees not
- 30:24Speaker 1: to give gifts to politicians without first getting legal advice,
- 30:30Speaker 1: lest they risk being accused of bribery or bring reputational
- 30:34Speaker 1: damage upon the airline. The section of Quantus training which
- 30:39Speaker 1: has been given to staff says quote offering gifting or
- 30:44Speaker 1: receiving these benefits on a modest scale is sometimes used
- 30:49Speaker 1: as a token of gratitude or respect to strengthen relationships
- 30:52Speaker 1: among business people. Depending on the circumstances, value and frequency,
- 30:57Speaker 1: it is possible that these gifts, befits and hospitality gifts
- 31:02Speaker 1: could be used to improperly influence decisions, or could be
- 31:05Speaker 1: a conduit to disguise bribery. Now, of course I'm not
- 31:10Speaker 1: suggesting any of that happened with Anthony Alberanisi. But they
- 31:13Speaker 1: talk about the value and frequency of these gifts. Well,
- 31:18Speaker 1: the value is believed to have been as I said,
- 31:20Speaker 1: six figures and the frequency what about twenty two upgrades? Interesting?
- 31:25Speaker 1: The Quantus have just now decided to do this training
- 31:28Speaker 1: if they course of course, say there's no reason it's
- 31:32Speaker 1: being done now. It's just a coincidence of timing. A
- 31:35Speaker 1: spokesperson said. The rollout of this training has been planned
- 31:38Speaker 1: for a number of months and is linked to new
- 31:40Speaker 1: anti bribery legislation, not recent media coverage. Many other companies
- 31:44Speaker 1: across multiple industries have also introduced similar courses as a
- 31:48Speaker 1: result of this new legislation. Nothing to see here, Klee.
- 31:52Speaker 6: Well, terribly convenient, isn't it.
- 31:54Speaker 4: I mean, look, you know I said last week, and
- 31:56Speaker 4: I'll maintain that even though you might call it where
- 32:00Speaker 4: you can't really blame Quantas for wanting to give the
- 32:02Speaker 4: then Transport Minister a few upgrades in the hopes that
- 32:05Speaker 4: something may come down the line for them. That's obviously
- 32:09Speaker 4: why you would do something like of course, right, I mean,
- 32:11Speaker 4: it's keeping your mates close, which in most cases I
- 32:16Speaker 4: would say is good business. But how funny because they're
- 32:19Speaker 4: saying that it's anything over the value of two hundred
- 32:21Speaker 4: dollars should.
- 32:22Speaker 2: Be referred to the legal department.
- 32:24Speaker 4: And it makes me wonder whether this will entirely kill
- 32:27Speaker 4: the idea of these upgrades unless they decide well in advance,
- 32:31Speaker 4: like it's not going to be they work out oh,
- 32:34Speaker 4: we've got a couple of spare seats in business mister Albinisi,
- 32:37Speaker 4: would you like when mister Albert.
- 32:38Speaker 2: He's got his own plane these days.
- 32:39Speaker 4: But you know, mister Claire or mister Charmers or any
- 32:42Speaker 4: other minister, would you like to come up?
- 32:44Speaker 2: They won't be able to do that unless they're going
- 32:46Speaker 2: to get straight onto the legal department.
- 32:47Speaker 4: Please please let me know if I can get the
- 32:49Speaker 4: minister up to business class before I do this.
- 32:51Speaker 6: I don't think that's going to happen. Very convenient timing,
- 32:55Speaker 6: very convenient timing.
- 32:57Speaker 1: High least the legal apartment will be pretty busy too.
- 33:00Speaker 6: Well, well, got to give him something to do.
- 33:03Speaker 2: Now.
- 33:04Speaker 4: You will remember back to the Olympics when there was
- 33:07Speaker 4: a boxer by the name of Iman Khaliff, who we
- 33:10Speaker 4: were told was apparently a woman competing in the women's
- 33:13Speaker 4: boxing went on to win gold. There were other women
- 33:18Speaker 4: competing against Califf who said, I do not like this.
- 33:21Speaker 4: One competitor from memory pulled out forty seconds into about Because,
- 33:26Speaker 4: of course, there was a cloud over whether Califf was
- 33:29Speaker 4: actually a man or a woman, because the international body
- 33:33Speaker 4: that looks after boxing had previously run genetic tests and
- 33:37Speaker 4: said that Califf had male chromosomes, ie he was a male,
- 33:43Speaker 4: and would you believe it?
- 33:45Speaker 2: This has been vindicated.
- 33:46Speaker 4: Now, Remember the IOC, the International Olympic Committee, refused to
- 33:50Speaker 4: do any tests of their own and questioned the validity
- 33:54Speaker 4: of the tests that had previously been done. Will This
- 33:57Speaker 4: report comes via Piers Morgan and he says a shocking
- 34:00Speaker 4: medical report about Califf, drafted in twenty twenty three between
- 34:04Speaker 4: hospitals in France and Algeria, was leaked to a French
- 34:07Speaker 4: journalist and confirms the boxer has a disorder of sexual development,
- 34:12Speaker 4: which means he has male chromosomes and some male sexual organs,
- 34:16Speaker 4: including internal testicles and a quote unquote micro penis, but
- 34:20Speaker 4: no female uterus. So for all intense purposes, Califf is
- 34:26Speaker 4: a male and therefore should not be competing in women's boxing.
- 34:32Speaker 2: Now.
- 34:33Speaker 4: The IOC, and we talked about this extensively at the time,
- 34:37Speaker 4: just dismissed this out of hand and said there was
- 34:40Speaker 4: no case to answer here. They refused to do any
- 34:43Speaker 4: testing of their own. They didn't care whether it could
- 34:46Speaker 4: have been a case of transgenderism or into sex or whatever.
- 34:49Speaker 4: They just said, this is not a problem. Well, the
- 34:52Speaker 4: actual report by a hospital. This is not some hokey
- 34:56Speaker 4: stuff has been leaked to a journalist and shows that
- 34:59Speaker 4: califf as male chromosomes. The IOC ought to apologize to
- 35:04Speaker 4: every other woman who competed in the female boxing we
- 35:09Speaker 4: got it wrong. But we're not going to hear that
- 35:11Speaker 4: from them, are we.
- 35:12Speaker 1: Yeah, what are the chances that will get any admission
- 35:14Speaker 1: that they got it wrong, let alone an apology to
- 35:17Speaker 1: the other competitors. But it's worse than an apology for
- 35:20Speaker 1: other competitors missing out on potential gold medals. Yeah, other
- 35:24Speaker 1: competitors were hit in the face by someone who should
- 35:27Speaker 1: never have been allowed to have been in the ring.
- 35:30Speaker 1: And as you said, the IOC were aware of this
- 35:32Speaker 1: a year before the Paris Olympics. They deliberately turned a
- 35:36Speaker 1: blind eye. And I remember IOC spokesman, I forget his
- 35:41Speaker 1: name now, but he did a press conference where he said,
- 35:44Speaker 1: if only there was a scientific way to differentiate between
- 35:48Speaker 1: men and women, and we're very open to listening if
- 35:50Speaker 1: someone could come up with a way. And all of
- 35:52Speaker 1: this was already.
- 35:53Speaker 3: Like a chromosome test, coumented like a chromosome test, and they.
- 35:57Speaker 1: Allowed it to go on.
- 35:59Speaker 5: There should be held to pay for this absolutely.
- 36:02Speaker 3: In fact, there should be hell to pay for all
- 36:05Speaker 3: of the DSD candidates who have competed at Olympic levels
- 36:11Speaker 3: since the two thousands, over ten medals on the Olympic
- 36:16Speaker 3: stage have been won by males who were competing as
- 36:23Speaker 3: females by virtue of DSD, this disorder of sexual development
- 36:28Speaker 3: that they're talking about, so can appear to be females,
- 36:31Speaker 3: and like Khalif was raised as a girl. You can
- 36:35Speaker 3: see pictures of them as a small girl dressed in dresses, etc.
- 36:42Speaker 5: And so on.
- 36:43Speaker 3: But the reality is someone with DSD has all the
- 36:47Speaker 3: advantages of a male in terms of testosterone, bone density,
- 36:54Speaker 3: all the other things that men have on us women
- 36:56Speaker 3: when it comes to strength physically.
- 36:59Speaker 5: You'll never get the.
- 37:01Speaker 3: But so many other women have missed out on their
- 37:05Speaker 3: chance for Olympic gold, silver, bronze because.
- 37:09Speaker 5: Of same thing playing out.
- 37:11Speaker 3: You'd think by now the IOC would be alive to this.
- 37:15Speaker 5: Instead, they seem to.
- 37:16Speaker 3: Celebrate it as oh, we've had this many DSD candidates win,
- 37:21Speaker 3: instead of saying, hey, yeah, that's really unfair to the
- 37:23Speaker 3: women who live and breathe to make it to Olympic levels,
- 37:28Speaker 3: compete at that level and lose to someone who calls
- 37:31Speaker 3: themselves a woman.
- 37:32Speaker 5: But there is a lot of complications gone.
- 37:34Speaker 1: And let's not forget anyone who pointed out the obvious
- 37:37Speaker 1: during the Paris Games was absolutely lambastard and smear as
- 37:40Speaker 1: transphobic and a bigot. Turns out they weren't a biggot
- 37:44Speaker 1: at all. We're going to go to a break. When
- 37:45Speaker 1: we come back, look at what's making news tomorrow that's
- 37:48Speaker 1: coming up in this month. Okay, let's take a look
- 37:53Speaker 1: at what's making news tomorrow, and Liz, I guess there's
- 37:55Speaker 1: really only one story tomorrow, isn't there.
- 37:57Speaker 5: It is dominating the headlines.

- 38:11Speaker 3: you stay tuned on Sky News Australia to the front
- 38:15Speaker 3: page of The Australian. The hour cometh, rancorps and division
- 38:20Speaker 3: Now for Democracy Day and so the headlines go on
- 38:23Speaker 3: and on, but to an interesting story also on the
- 38:26Speaker 3: front page of.
- 38:27Speaker 9: The Odds Resist your Urge to splurge.
- 38:30Speaker 3: Alp told yes please, but will they listen, don't hold
- 38:34Speaker 3: your breath. Reserve Bank Governor Michelle Bullock has warned Jim
- 38:38Speaker 3: Charmers she expects him to be quote very conscious end
- 38:42Speaker 3: quote of the inflationary impact of any pre election policies,
- 38:46Speaker 3: while admitting this Central Bank underestimated the growth in government
- 38:50Speaker 3: spending driven by an expansion of the care economy.
- 38:56Speaker 5: Wow wow, okay.
- 38:59Speaker 4: Did did Albanesis not have a scuffle with our own
- 39:05Speaker 4: Peter Steffanovic, Yes, just a couple of months ago about
- 39:09Speaker 4: this exact point, because Michelle Buller cod very clearly said
- 39:13Speaker 4: that government spending contributes to inflation, and Anthony Alberanzi, straight faced,
- 39:19Speaker 4: quite angrily said to Peter Steffanovic, No, that's not what
- 39:24Speaker 4: Michelle Bullock said.
- 39:25Speaker 2: No, that is not what she said. Was she said
- 39:28Speaker 2: it again?
- 39:29Speaker 4: If you want to pay any attention, buddy's she is
- 39:33Speaker 4: literally she's saying here right that the government spending is
- 39:38Speaker 4: a direct cause of inflation, and that the Reserve Bank
- 39:42Speaker 4: underestimated exactly how much that government spending had increased inflation.
- 39:48Speaker 4: How much clearer do you want us to make it,
- 39:51Speaker 4: mister Albanisi, like it's there in black and white, and how.
- 39:54Speaker 3: Super does he think we are Everyone knows that you
- 39:57Speaker 3: don't have to be Adam Crichton top to no government
- 40:02Speaker 3: spending equals inflation.
- 40:04Speaker 5: It is the sole driver, that is it. End of My.
- 40:08Speaker 1: Favorite part of this story is economists and backed up
- 40:11Speaker 1: by the Reserve Bank governor warning the Albanzy government don't
- 40:14Speaker 1: splash cash around prior to the next election. Do you
- 40:18Speaker 1: really think they're going to listen to that? Although that
- 40:20Speaker 1: will be quoted at every government promise between now and
- 40:23Speaker 1: what April May. I hope so this will be quoted
- 40:25Speaker 1: saying is this going to be inflationary? And I don't
- 40:28Speaker 1: think the government can listen to that any more than
- 40:30Speaker 1: Steven Miles in Queensland who threw money around like it
- 40:33Speaker 1: was kinfetti.
- 40:34Speaker 3: In a bit to win the election and still didn't
- 40:37Speaker 3: work to the second splash in the front of the
- 40:40Speaker 3: oars come and mine over the ditch.
- 40:42Speaker 9: New Zealand Resources Minister Shane Jones has warned against a
- 40:47Speaker 9: trans Tasman virus targeting call well being budgets and green
- 40:51Speaker 9: riddled fairy tales in a pitch for Australian companies to
- 40:55Speaker 9: unlock new minds.
- 40:56Speaker 3: Jobs and energy sources across the ditch. Now this is smart, right,
- 41:01Speaker 3: because they're watching our government just pummel the mining industry
- 41:07Speaker 3: with all sorts of green tape, all sorts of new laws,
- 41:10Speaker 3: all sorts of even banks starting to say we will
- 41:13Speaker 3: not loan to you if you want a loan that's
- 41:16Speaker 3: related to one of these fossil fuel related projects.
- 41:19Speaker 5: We're just not even going to give you money.
- 41:21Speaker 3: So these guys go, we see an opportunity here, just
- 41:26Speaker 3: come across here, make us rich instead, We've got plenty
- 41:29Speaker 3: for you to do.
- 41:30Speaker 1: Shane Jones, the Resources Minister in New Zealand, would that
- 41:33Speaker 1: we had him as a politician in the Australian Party.
- 41:36Speaker 1: He lets me to come across. He says, we want
- 41:38Speaker 1: to make New Zealand the easiest place in the world
- 41:41Speaker 1: to do business, and he described the just Adern government
- 41:46Speaker 1: as unicorn kissing naivety in their green policies. He says
- 41:52Speaker 1: energy security must trump climate catastrophism every single time, and
- 41:58Speaker 1: his favorite saying caleber is coal before the doll and
- 42:03Speaker 1: I have coal, You'll end up being on welfare. So
- 42:08Speaker 1: dig it up, oversell it.
- 42:11Speaker 2: Go there.
- 42:11Speaker 1: In Marlotte Mark the Economy movie, can.
- 42:14Speaker 4: Nicole here bro Let's go to the front of the
- 42:16Speaker 4: Herald Sun tomorrow where they would a.
- 42:18Speaker 6: Nice little play at the top of the paper.
- 42:20Speaker 4: The race that stops the world, and then of course
- 42:23Speaker 4: below it is the race that stops a nation.
- 42:26Speaker 6: The Melbourne Cup today. Oh what a night.
- 42:29Speaker 4: The headline says, a photo finish, A long shot winner
- 42:32Speaker 4: in Knight's Choice, a former singing show contestant turned champion jockey,
- 42:37Speaker 4: a female lossie battler trainer who was distraught days ago
- 42:40Speaker 4: after her other runner was scratched, and now has a
- 42:43Speaker 4: second triumph from two attempts, A punter's three point two
- 42:47Speaker 4: million dollar pay day. The twenty twenty four Melbourne Cup
- 42:50Speaker 4: delivered it all. This is what I love about the
- 42:53Speaker 4: Melbourne Cup. Now we'll talk about the trainer, right, Sheila Laxon.
- 42:58Speaker 4: She's one of the co train of Knight's Choice. She
- 43:03Speaker 4: won with Ethereal in two thousand and one. Right has
- 43:06Speaker 4: been hoping for another Melbourne Cup ever since, and two
- 43:09Speaker 4: years ago she was on a Melbourne Cup cruise with
- 43:13Speaker 4: the jockey Robbie Dolan where Robbie was singing as part
- 43:17Speaker 4: of the entertainment and she was talking about Ethereal winning
- 43:20Speaker 4: in two thousand and one, and here they are today
- 43:23Speaker 4: together winning the Melbourne Cup on what was at one
- 43:27Speaker 4: point at a ninety one dollar shot, the first horse
- 43:30Speaker 4: trained in Queensland to ever win the Melbourne Cup. And
- 43:34Speaker 4: there was one bloke who clearly didn't follow my tips
- 43:36Speaker 4: last night. As I said earlier, Keita Sushi came in
- 43:42Speaker 4: at third, so there was a chance of making some
- 43:44Speaker 4: money out of me. But there was a bloke who
- 43:47Speaker 4: put one hundred dollars on a first four on his
- 43:50Speaker 4: labrok's account and he turned.
- 43:51Speaker 2: That into three point two million dollars. I mean, can
- 43:57Speaker 2: you imagine.
- 43:57Speaker 4: He's just sitting there looking at your phone.
- 43:59Speaker 2: You had a I'll have a bit on the mil.
- 44:01Speaker 3: I we should publish those stories because then punters like
- 44:04Speaker 3: you are always like God.
- 44:06Speaker 5: A bit more could have been me, should have been me.
- 44:09Speaker 5: Will we me next time?
- 44:10Speaker 4: The dream of the Melbourne Cup right, If you can't
- 44:13Speaker 4: actually win the thing with your horse, you might make
- 44:15Speaker 4: a shitload of money out of it. There was another
- 44:17Speaker 4: bloke in Bensdale, in Victoria who had twenty four dollars
- 44:21Speaker 4: I think it was on a mystery first four, and
- 44:23Speaker 4: he walked away with the more than seven hundred grand
- 44:27Speaker 4: he was just out at the local RSL had a
- 44:29Speaker 4: bit just put the mystery first four on.
- 44:31Speaker 2: He's walked right with seven hundred grad What a great day.
- 44:34Speaker 1: Could I just say, as excited as you are, you
- 44:35Speaker 1: know those government warnings, gamble responsibly, you'll probably lose it.
- 44:39Speaker 1: That was my experience last night. Caleb Bond told me
- 44:43Speaker 1: one smooth operator up with twenty bucks on that horse,
- 44:46Speaker 1: and from the moment the race began it was never sighted.
- 44:50Speaker 1: At the end of my gambling. Now, I'm not interested
- 44:52Speaker 1: horse racing and I'm not listening to you ever again.
- 44:54Speaker 1: Maybe politics, sure, but horse raw.
- 44:56Speaker 5: Do you listen to me? Mac, you would have saved
- 44:58Speaker 5: you do. I told what a ripper?
- 45:02Speaker 2: What a ripper race the Melbourne Cup.
- 45:04Speaker 4: By the way, the attendance at the Melbourne Cup to
- 45:07Speaker 4: day was up seven and a half percent, more than
- 45:10Speaker 4: ninety thousand people through the gates there. And I want
- 45:12Speaker 4: to tell you that no one's interested in racing up yours.
- 45:15Speaker 1: It was a beautiful day in Melbourne too. The weather
- 45:17Speaker 1: was sensational. Let's go to the front page of the
- 45:19Speaker 1: Career Mail delays on age limits, a technology trial to
- 45:23Speaker 1: ensure social media companies can enforce an age limit is
- 45:26Speaker 1: yet to begin, more than six months after Labor announced
- 45:30Speaker 1: funding for the critical step to protect children online at
- 45:33Speaker 1: the Albanez. He promised in September six point five million
- 45:36Speaker 1: dollars to do this trial and legislation would be in
- 45:40Speaker 1: place before the end of the year, because he said,
- 45:44Speaker 1: Australian young people deserve better and I stand with them.
- 45:47Speaker 1: Safety and mental and physical health of our young people
- 45:50Speaker 1: is paramount, he said. And they've not even begun the trial.
- 45:54Speaker 1: There'll be no legislation this year. They've done absolutely nothing
- 45:58Speaker 1: after making out like this was the biggest issue in
- 46:01Speaker 1: the country.
- 46:02Speaker 3: Remember every time this came up at the time, and
- 46:05Speaker 3: I reminded everybody that firstly, we've known that social media
- 46:09Speaker 3: is toxic for young people for as long as the
- 46:11Speaker 3: two have existed, right, nobody's really cared. Nobody's done anything
- 46:15Speaker 3: about it. There's mountains of research, and I said at
- 46:18Speaker 3: the time, this has nothing to do with that, and
- 46:21Speaker 3: everything to do with the fact it came just weeks
- 46:24Speaker 3: after they got their Digital ID bill through the Parliament.
- 46:29Speaker 3: Because what are you going to do if you've got
- 46:31Speaker 3: to monitor people online their age, They have to verify
- 46:35Speaker 3: who they are.
- 46:38Speaker 5: The rest is history. My friends. And this just goes
- 46:40Speaker 5: to show this was never about Oh, we've got to
- 46:42Speaker 5: protect the youth.
- 46:43Speaker 3: We've got to Otherwise you would have got onto it,
- 46:46Speaker 3: you had the funding for it, you promised it, you've
- 46:48Speaker 3: done nothing six months later.
- 46:51Speaker 5: Okay, there you.
- 46:51Speaker 1: Go, Liz store right again. We're going to go to
- 46:53Speaker 1: a break. But stick around. We've got lefties absolutely doing
- 46:58Speaker 1: backflips coming up in just a moment. Welcome back. Well
- 47:03Speaker 1: if lefties don't like bearing the burden of their own
- 47:05Speaker 1: bad policies, do they?
- 47:07Speaker 5: Caleb?
- 47:07Speaker 4: I know we were talking last night about a minister
- 47:09Speaker 4: down in Victoria who's now saying we're gonna have twenty
- 47:11Speaker 4: story buildings all over Melbourne, but not in my electorate.
- 47:15Speaker 2: He doesn't even like three stories.
- 47:16Speaker 4: And they often say that charity begins at home. So
- 47:21Speaker 4: what happens when you go and ask Democrat voters in
- 47:24Speaker 4: America who say they're all on board with the illegal
- 47:26Speaker 4: immigrants and refugees, how about a home.
- 47:31Speaker 6: So you would do anything for like all the.
- 47:34Speaker 2: Guys, This is great.
- 47:35Speaker 6: I think we found a new home for you guys. Guys,
- 47:40Speaker 6: I don't understand what immigration. What do you mean you
- 47:47Speaker 6: just said you wanted to support everyone now Okay.
- 47:49Speaker 5: I don't know they'd like.
- 47:52Speaker 2: Just like you guys did before, Thank you very much.
- 47:55Speaker 6: Can they say for dinner?
- 47:57Speaker 2: Wait, well, we have your signature.
- 48:00Speaker 4: Oh my god, if it's not the consequences of your
- 48:02Speaker 4: own actions, heh.
- 48:04Speaker 3: Ha ha for your hospitality, where your mouth is, where
- 48:07Speaker 3: you say your values are well. Scientists have come up
- 48:10Speaker 3: with a very quirky way to stop mosquito born diseases
- 48:15Speaker 3: like zica, yellow fever, dengay by making male mosquitoes death.
- 48:22Speaker 3: Turns out, mosquitoes mate while they're flying. But if the
- 48:28Speaker 3: males can't hear the wing beats of female mosquitoes, they're
- 48:32Speaker 3: not going to mate. They're not going to multiply mosquito
- 48:36Speaker 3: mating expert who knew that was a thing? Dr jog
- 48:39Speaker 3: Albert says the study provides the first direct molescular tests,
- 48:44Speaker 3: which suggest that hearing is indeed not only important for
- 48:47Speaker 3: mosquito reproduction, but essential. Without the ability of males to
- 48:51Speaker 3: hear and acoustically chase, female mosquitoes might become extinct.
- 48:57Speaker 5: Heck, I don't care how they do it.
- 48:59Speaker 3: I think with mosquitoes of God's one mistake. Okay, that's fine,
- 49:03Speaker 3: but the sooner we get rid of these the better.
- 49:05Speaker 3: What do they even contribute to the circle of life,
- 49:08Speaker 3: to the food chain.
- 49:09Speaker 5: Nothing?
- 49:09Speaker 4: Well, look, I reckon there would be some human males
- 49:12Speaker 4: who would also like to receive this treatment, because if
- 49:15Speaker 4: it meant they didn't have to listen to the screeching
- 49:17Speaker 4: of some women with them Mosquito wild extra.
- 49:23Speaker 1: We're going to finish there, but stick around coming up
- 49:25Speaker 1: because the reader Peneio. You two can go at it now.
- 49:28Speaker 5: We will
