  Speaker 1: Is the bold perform it.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Tonight meet the Chinese tycoon who's pub chained here banned
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Australia day, and then see how soft he is on China.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Plus exposing the fake claims of climate change Minister Chris
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Bowen as his green energy revolution collapses and some Australians
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: climate scientists say their work makes them scream and burst
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: into tears? Are these the kind of people bone relies on?
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: And the government stabs Israel in the back again in
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: the United Nations rewarding terrorism. Going to call out two
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: labor ministers who should know better but are too cowardly
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: to speak against what their immoral government is doing, But
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: first utter today's shocking growth figures. We can now call
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: it the Albanize governments. Big socialists dreams are over. It's
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: crashed all the big plans they had to make us
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: richer and greener. Total disaster everywhere you look. Even the
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: treasurers today had to admit, historically speaking, is that live
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: in an economy with pathetic growth?
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Today's national accounts confirm that growth in the Australian economy
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: continues to be positive, but it's weak growth at just
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: zero point three percent in the quarter and zero point
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: eight percent through the year is below historical averages and
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: its below market expectations as well.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: But it's much worse than that. I'm sure the economy
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: is growing a little, but that's really because this government
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: is important a crazy one and a half million immigrants.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: That divide the economic poyer among the extra mounts and
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: you will find that for the last twenty one months
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Australians have got poorer per person you take disposable income.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Using that figure, Australians on average are eight point seven
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: percent poorer than they were that Anthony Albanz he became
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Prime minister. That is astonishing.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: There are families at the moment who will go home
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: tonight sitting around a kitchen table, not knowing how they're
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: going to pay the power bill, not knowing whether they
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: can keep their insurance cover for their car or for
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: their business. And this is a tough time for Australian
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: families and the government can sugarcoat all they want, but
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: the fact is, as the Reserve Bank governor keeps pointing out,
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: it's the government's reckless spending that drives up inflation and
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: therefore keeps interest rates high for longer.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: It's Albanizer revolution was meant to be so different. Oh
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: the dreams that he and the socialists left Warrior and
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: his bunch of Ori Delog's hand just two and a
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: half years ago. When they came into office, they were
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: going to do what few before had tried. That's because
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: what they were going to do, stupid Albanese was going
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: to lift real wages by simply forcing bosses to pay
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: workers more, either by law or by giving the unions
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: more muscle treasure. Jim Chalmers, he was going to reinvent
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: no less boasing, to create a new values based capitalism.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: How do we get investment and capital flowing into the
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: areas that we know will strengthen our economy and make
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: it poor productive.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: But Charmer's new capitalism actually turned out to be old socialism.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: He just blew more billions of what he now calls investments,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: especially green energy. And speaking of that energy, minister, Chris Bone,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: he was going to get rid of coal and power
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: our economy with wind and solar power instead. And it
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: was even going to cut your.
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: Bills, reducing power prices by totald and seventy five dollars
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: by twenty thirty. Stand by the modeling that we released
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: pre election, which informed that that statement two seventy five.
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: By twenty twenty five, we stand by that.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: And then the Immigration Minister Andrew Jarles he was going
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: to throw open our doors to the biggest invasion of
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: immigrants yet seen and would be so glad of it.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: And it stuns me that this insane agenda was heavent
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: ever taken seriously. It's like trusting a plumber to do
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: open heart surgery. In fact, yeah, very much so. We
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: entrusted our twenty first century economy to a prime minister,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: a treasurer and an energy minister whose private sector experience
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: together amounted to eight weeks at a McDonald's and a
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: short stint after school at a bank, and our look
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: wreckage everywhere. Albanies. He making businesses pay higher wages without
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: workers working smarter just meant our productivities now down the
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: toilet bones. Global warming crusade helped ramp electricity prices so
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: high that one hundred and thirty thousand Australians are now
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: on energy hardship repayment plans. New so Bar's residents were
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: even told last week switch off your appliances on this
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: warm day because solar power is fading.
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: If you can not run your pool filter, not run
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: your dishwasher, not run your washing machine afternoon.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Meanwhile, Andrew Jiles's mass immigration that caused a terrible housing shortage.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: But it is Jim Charmers if today looks be clowned.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: This huge spending has added to the inflation that's making
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: us poor. It's also set us up for what Charmers
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: has admitted will be ten straight years from now of
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: budget deficits. Now, yes, Austram Bureau Statistics today did say
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: the spending spree is large reason why this economy still
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: grew just in the last quarter and they just zero
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: point eight percent for the year. It's government pump priming,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: but we have to pay that money back. And what
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: a distortion that government's spending by Charmers in the States
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: has created. I mean, just look where most of the
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: extra jobs created in the past year have been, as
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: I showed you last night, in healthcare administration and support services,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: public administration, and education. These are all areas where jobs
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: are particularly created by government spending money that must be
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: created by people somewhere else. Then look at where there's
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: been the biggest job losses, manufacturing construction, professional, scientific and
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: technical services. These are the sectors that actually make, build,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: and invent the stuff that creates our wealth. And the
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: biggest job losses of all, of course in hospitality, but
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: that's no surprise. Poorer people don't go out as much,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: do they? Reality has hit us. How could anyone have
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: thought that alban Easy and his dreamers could power this
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: modern economy of flickering the electricity from wind towers and
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: solar panels. How could anyone have seriously believed that making
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: it harder for bosses would actually make businesses stronger, or
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: that socialist levels of spending and charmers picking winners to
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: invest in would give us a go ahead economy. I
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: know the government's poasting. It's issued a bucket of bandages
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: to us to try to stem the bleeding, like the
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: rebates at tanding out its compensation for the huge rises
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: and electricity prices. But you see through that that's just
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: money taken from one pocket to put in another, and
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: all while we're on a sinking ship. That the Albanezy
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: experiment has failed. Two poles that agents show how tough
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: mini strands are now doing it. An Australian National University
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: poll found just thirty eight percent of voters of confidence
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: in the government. One third set it was harder getting
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: buy on their income. A similar result in a survey
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: for the Master Builders. One in three Australians are going
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: without essentials like food, like medicine, education for the kids,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: to pay their rent or mortgage. Joining me is a
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: political panel cameraon Milner, former Chief of Stuff with Labor
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: leader Bill Shorten, now director of g xo's strategies, and
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Michael Costs, the former New South Wales Labor Treasurer Michael
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: growth over the year of just zero point eight percent.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: When you divide the of course by the extra a
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: mounths we've imported factor in inflation, we've actually gone even poorer. Again,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: how bad are things?
• 8:12
  Speaker 7: I think that things are tremendously difficult for everybody in
• 8:16
  Speaker 7: the community and there is no expectation, given the policy
• 8:19
  Speaker 7: settings of this government, that they will improve. And Andrew,
• 8:23
  Speaker 7: the most horrific thing today I saw was those productivity figures.
• 8:26
  Speaker 7: They absolutely went backwards. You know, we had some anemic
• 8:30
  Speaker 7: growth in the last two quarters, but now we've gone
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: negative again. And the problem we face is that, you know,
• 8:36
  Speaker 7: we've got a government that doesn't understand the link between
• 8:39
  Speaker 7: productivity and prosperity. You know, you've got labor market reforms,
• 8:44
  Speaker 7: you know, unwinding the whole keeping achievements that set two
• 8:49
  Speaker 7: decades of prosperity up to three decades of prosperity up,
• 8:54
  Speaker 7: and we're facing structural rigidity in the labor market. Look,
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: this government reminds me of the sort of roll Doll's
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: enormous crocodile. It's just full of secret plans and clever
• 9:04
  Speaker 7: tricks to try and weasel its way out of the
• 9:07
  Speaker 7: mess that it's created. And we know it's got secret
• 9:09
  Speaker 7: plans because it's you know, talked about negative gearing, it's
• 9:12
  Speaker 7: talked about this nature positive that's still on the agenda,
• 9:16
  Speaker 7: it hasn't been written off. And of course the energy fiasco.
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: So we've got a government that's out of control, a
• 9:22
  Speaker 7: treasurer that you know writes about reforming capitalism but doesn't
• 9:25
  Speaker 7: seem to understand that it's based on prosperity. We've got inflation,
• 9:29
  Speaker 7: and let's not forget this. The inflation rate went up,
• 9:32
  Speaker 7: the underlying the trimming went up in the last figures.
• 9:35
  Speaker 7: Yet we've still got you know, growth a stagnant and
• 9:39
  Speaker 7: what that means is, you know, we could face some
• 9:41
  Speaker 7: sort of stagflation crisis, you know, the worst of both
• 9:45
  Speaker 7: possible worlds.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Look, look, Cameron, I understand that you're a fan of
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Jim Charmers, not so much of Anthony Evin Easy, But
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: I have to say Chamas always has his excuses when
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: he has to announce spad figures. You know, it's the
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: rations chainer, it's overseas instability, it's the liberals. Here are
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: his excuses.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: Today it's weighed down by interest rates and cost of
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: living pressures and global economic uncertainty.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Now, once, as he said, it's my fault, I've got
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: to change policies. Voters buying this well, I think the
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: polls say they aren't.
• 10:24
  Speaker 8: Andrew Harmon, these numbers are diabolical for labor. They are
• 10:28
  Speaker 8: one way and one way only, and they're all bad,
• 10:30
  Speaker 8: all bad for labor. As I wrote the other week,
• 10:33
  Speaker 8: I don't think this Parliament's coming back. I don't think
• 10:35
  Speaker 8: we're going to get a budget from Jim Chalmers because
• 10:36
  Speaker 8: I think the numbers, if they were crystallized in March,
• 10:39
  Speaker 8: would pritually prove just how bad things really are for voters.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: So Alboy's going to after.
• 10:43
  Speaker 8: Smoke screen to Christmas, try to rush to the polls,
• 10:45
  Speaker 8: hope that post Trump can get re elected somehow in
• 10:48
  Speaker 8: a minority. But no, these numbers are diabolical.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: And I feel for Jim.
• 10:52
  Speaker 8: I mean, he's got a front, an awful government with
• 10:54
  Speaker 8: an awful set of numbers.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it is also his fault too. I've got
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: to say, I've really got to say here, I'm afraid
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: interest rate cut. You know, I've heard some you know,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: kind of say today Michael, well, because the economy is
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: so bad, the Reserve will be forced to cut interest
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: rates to give it a kick along. But the point
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: is you've got pretty high employment, and of course it's
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: main mandate is to stop inflation. I do not see
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: interest rates being cut given that inflation is still so high.
• 11:31
  Speaker 7: What do you say, Well, I think the trim mean,
• 11:34
  Speaker 7: the figure that they look at went up last quarter.
• 11:37
  Speaker 7: So look, if they're consistent, and it's hard to predict
• 11:40
  Speaker 7: the Preserve Bank and what pressure may well be put
• 11:42
  Speaker 7: upon them, But if they're consistent and they have been
• 11:44
  Speaker 7: to date to their credit, there might be an interest
• 11:47
  Speaker 7: rate cut, certainly not this year. They'll look at the
• 11:49
  Speaker 7: figures in the December quarter which we get in January,
• 11:53
  Speaker 7: and I'd expect them to want to see two or
• 11:56
  Speaker 7: three quarters of sustained downward inflation and we don't have
• 12:00
  Speaker 7: that at the moment.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: And as for the.
• 12:02
  Speaker 7: Economy, I mean, the bottom line here is that unless
• 12:06
  Speaker 7: the government if it's re elected, and I'm really worried
• 12:09
  Speaker 7: about this, Andrew, because we're facing a situation where we
• 12:12
  Speaker 7: either get a minority labor government, which would be the
• 12:16
  Speaker 7: worst possible position because of the Greens influence, or else
• 12:20
  Speaker 7: we have to hope that we get a small majority
• 12:24
  Speaker 7: labor government because at the end of the day, if
• 12:26
  Speaker 7: Dunton gets in and in a minority, he's not going
• 12:30
  Speaker 7: to be able to get legislation through the Senate and
• 12:33
  Speaker 7: we will still stagnate going forward. So politically we're in
• 12:36
  Speaker 7: a diabolical situation as well.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: I think whoever gets in the Senate is going to
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: prove to be a wrecking ball for the Austrian economy.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Cameron compared to what Albinizy promise coming in right and
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: leave us at all, the big social promis. His first
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: big promise was, of course the unitary Statement, the voice
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: that's gone to custard. Economically, it was cheaper electricity, stronger economy,
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: more money in your pocket. Compare that to what is
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: actually delivered the exact opposite. How do you think it
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: actually went so wrong? What's the key here to understanding
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: this total disaster. Well, the key is Albanese.
• 13:18
  Speaker 8: I mean, we're dealing with probably the worst living prime
• 13:20
  Speaker 8: minister of a Labor prime minister in memory, who's desperately
• 13:23
  Speaker 8: trying to make himself the record of being the worst
• 13:25
  Speaker 8: ever prime minister. I mean, this guy is the George
• 13:27
  Speaker 8: Lazenby of Labor. Prime Minister's a guy who got to
• 13:31
  Speaker 8: get the role but completely won't be remembered for anything,
• 13:33
  Speaker 8: any great achievement. So No, Albanese is the center of
• 13:36
  Speaker 8: the problems that Labor has right now. And Albanese unfortunately
• 13:40
  Speaker 8: made those commitments of the last election, has failed to perform,
• 13:43
  Speaker 8: has completely sunk Labour's of credibility with a voice, which
• 13:47
  Speaker 8: is a vanity project for Albanese as well. So No,
• 13:50
  Speaker 8: Labour's got real problems, and coming to election with Albanize,
• 13:53
  Speaker 8: who is really disliked by voters, makes things just that
• 13:56
  Speaker 8: much worse.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: Look, I totally get that alban easy, the Bucks office
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: within is the leader and I think it's led a
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: couple of people often chained to do what they like.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: And Michael, that would include Tony Burke in industrial relations
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: is now change portfoilios, but industry relations giving the unions
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: everything they want, choking freedom at the workplace for bosses
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: to try and get more productive, and include tenure, plivsk
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: starming economic development so particularly you know the gold mine,
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: of course, the billion dollar gold mine, not hot reining
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: in people at the Environmental Defender's office and stopping delaying
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: gas projects and on it goes Andrew Garles opening the
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: door to unbelievable immigration. Where do you put the blame
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: in this well?
• 14:45
  Speaker 7: I put the blame obviously with the Albanese, because you know,
• 14:49
  Speaker 7: the fish rots from the head, But I also give
• 14:52
  Speaker 7: equal blame to the treasurer because you know, in any
• 14:55
  Speaker 7: functioning government you need a treasurer that opposes some of
• 14:58
  Speaker 7: the crazy ideas that comes out of the I've been
• 15:00
  Speaker 7: in that position. I mean, all sorts of mad ideas
• 15:04
  Speaker 7: come out of the premiers and prime Minister's offers and
• 15:07
  Speaker 7: it's up to the treasure it'll oppose them. But unfortunate
• 15:09
  Speaker 7: we've got a treasurer that actually supports them. Let's not
• 15:12
  Speaker 7: forget this future made in China as I call it.
• 15:14
  Speaker 7: You know, he's touted that as his big policy achievement.
• 15:19
  Speaker 7: And you know, at the same time we've got him
• 15:21
  Speaker 7: arguing giving funding to a quantum computer, you know, hypothetical technology,
• 15:26
  Speaker 7: but telling us that, you know, a seventy year old
• 15:29
  Speaker 7: mature technology, nuclear energy can't work. I mean, this government
• 15:33
  Speaker 7: is riddled with incompetence and people that have no clue
• 15:36
  Speaker 7: about what they're doing, and the treasure has got to
• 15:38
  Speaker 7: take responsibility as well.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Michael Costa, Camera Milner. Thank you very much to you both. Now,
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: I hope that every Australian politician has been trying to
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: sense the social media here watch today. Now it's just
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: saved South Korea's democracy. Last night, South Korea's President yunsukiel
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: suddenly declared marcial law from eleven PM, late enough to
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: expect his opponents would struggle to organize themselves.
• 16:06
  Speaker 9: Chan and Kumgyorobin, I hereby declare an emergency martial law
• 16:11
  Speaker 9: in order to defend the Free Republic of Career from
• 16:14
  Speaker 9: the threat of North Korean communist forces.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: President yunon did what's worked so often in kous before
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: and in the past, he sent the army to shut
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: down the National Assembly. He put the mainstream media out
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: of military censorship. But that stuff doesn't work anymore in
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: the age of x News of the coup, of course,
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: flashed through social media, so did calls to resist. Opposition
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: leader Lee j Jung even live streamed himself dodging the
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: army cordon and hopping over a fence again inside the
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: National Assembly. Social media then showed former TV news anchor
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: and guir RJung now a politician, trying to wrestle the
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: gun from the hands of a soldier as she shouted,
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: aren't you ashamed of yourself? And that clip soon had
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: three million views, so you can imagine the effect of
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: all this. Crowds rushed in to overwhelm the soldiers at
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: the National Assembly. Within three hours, one hundred and ninety
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: of the country's three hundred politicians have got out of
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: bed and inside the building and voted unanimously to demand
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: the president end as martial law. The opposition leader Lee
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: then held a press conference calling on the aim to
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: obey the people and look at all the smartphones recording
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: him posting on the internet. It proves that soldiers who
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: controlled TV stations now control nothing. In less than six hours,
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: you called off as martial law soldiers went home. You
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: now faces impeachment, even jail. In South Korea's democracy is safe.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: I know it wasn't all social media, but huge impact.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: I'll get to the why of this fascical call for
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: martial law with my guest, But more important for us
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: here is to learn how that social media did help
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: save South Korea's democracy. No one in China tightly controls
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: his own social media, but why are so many of
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: our own politicians so high style to it? Awhen is
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: a government trying to give governor appointed census powdered sense
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: of what they claim is this information? Last week, even
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: liberal politicians joined labor to band children for social media.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Imagine if South Korea's president had laws like that to
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: protect him. I know, I know, let's stuck overboard. We
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: don't face martial law here, But then again, it is
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: only a couple of years ago the victorious thuggish government
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: order people to stay in their homes and find rubber
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: bullets at some who refused, even arresting people posting their
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: resistance online. So yes, we do have lessons to learn here.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: Joining me is Peter Jennings. He was Deputy Secretary for
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Strategy in the Defense Department, now director of the think
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: tank Strategic Analysis Australia. Peter always great to talk to you,
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: but can you tell us why did South Korea's president
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: impose martial law? And so ham fistedly well, good evening, Andrew.
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: I think this is going to go down and history
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: as one of the most disastrous captains pick that a
• 19:03
  Speaker 6: political leader has made. There really doesn't seem to be
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: any basis to this other than the fact that President
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: Yun was being stymied by opposition parties in the South
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: Korean the just sort of assembly. He couldn't get his
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: legislation through, and he was plummeting the depths of bad popularity,
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: low popularity, and I think he.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Made a disastrous call.
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: At the end of the day, he didn't have the
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: support of significant figures in his party, Large numbers of
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: his cabinet resigned, significant advisors resign. The military seemed to
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: be very half hearted in terms of doing what they
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: were asked to do, which was to stop politicians from
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: getting into the legislative assembly. So this was a disastrous
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: thought bubble gone wrong, and probably I would. From this distance,
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: I think we can say it's going to be the
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: end of President Yun's political career.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: Oh. I think without a doubt he'll be very lucky
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: not to see the inside of a jail. His one
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: excuse that he offered, and I wonder if you think
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: he's right, is that the South Korean opposition is to
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: pro North Korea to anti American, which I guess would
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: offend a president who can sing American pie here.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: He is a long long time ago. I can still
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: remember how that music used to make me smile.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Sorry about that musical interlude, Peter, But is you and
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: right about the opposition being to pro North Korea a threat?
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: Look, he was seeking on tun for the alliance relationship then,
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: but I think he's not correct in terms of being
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: so condemnatory of the opposition in South Korea. Yes, they're
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: a center left party. They tend to be always more
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: interested in talks with the North, they tend to be.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Slightly less interested in.
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: The alliance relationship with the US. But really there's nothing
• 21:07
  Speaker 6: to say that that was a significant problem now.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: In fact, I think perhaps.
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: More relevant was that there was a fairly strong popular
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: reaction against President Yun's attempts to actually get something of
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: a more successful relationship working with Japan, which is that's
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: never a popular political move in career, even though from
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: an Alliance perspective, it's something that the other democracies in
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: Asia would like to see. But really I see no
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: basis on which to say that this was an attempt
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: to counter a North Korean threat that just doesn't seem
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: to hold any truth, and it's largely been trashed by
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: people inside South Korea opposing the martial law declaration.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: This will go down in history. It will be a
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: pub quiz test. What was the shortest martial law declaration
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: in history? I don't know. Peter Jennings, thank you so much,
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: indeed for your time after the break exposed climate change
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: Minster Chris bone his fake claims and the tiary climate
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: scientists behind the scare that seems to be motivating him. Now,
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: this collapse of the Aberdezi government's big dreams, the most
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: obvious example was Inji Minister Chris Boone his plans to
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: transition us supposedly from colon gas to wind and solar.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Now you wonder how a man can try something so
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: disastrously expensive and physically impossible. But this is a man
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: who swears he is driven by the science.
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: The science of climate change is now as certain as
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: the science that tobacco courses cancer.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Really, because the problem for me isn't just that Bowen
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: keeps repeating scares that I know aren't science. It's that
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: some climate scientists feeding this scare make me doubt how
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: impartial they really are. They sound very emotional and political.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Last week, three of them, all women, published an opinion
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: piece in the Nature Climate Science Journalist journal and complained
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: about male sciences and also complained that studying climate change
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: takes an emotional toll on scientists. There write there is
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: a need for a safe space to share feelings of anxiety,
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: grief and burnout among climate scientists. Grief even one of them, Australian,
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: has elsewhere written She's felt gutted, felt the horror of
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: climate change. Another is around climate scientist says she's sometimes
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: overwhelmed by the terrifying reality and I catch myself unexpectedly weeping.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: A third says, I feel so lost some days I
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: feel like I need to scream at the top of
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: my lungs. This does not sound like dispassionate science, nor
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: in my opinion, does this emoting saying justified by any
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: good science I've seen in three decades of covering this issue.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: It also makes me wonder which scientists Chris Bone is
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: listening to. We he demmands the crimates crisis is so
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: great that we must make these impossibly big changes to
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: the way we power the economy. And when he tells
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: us it's working, joining me is economist Bejorn Lomborg is
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: author and the president of the Copenhagen Consensus Center, former
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: director of the Danish Government's Environmental Assessment Institute. Here's many
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: books include now False Alarm. How climate change panic costs
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: US trillions, hurts the poor and fails to fix the
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: planet pured Lomborg. It's always great to have you on
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: the show. I feel privileged to see you again. We
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: in Australia and our feeling exactly what you describe in
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: that title. To be honest, the climate change panic that's
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: costing US billions electricity prices, hurting the poor, and none
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: of it fixing the planet. How do we into this miss?
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Well, fundamentally, I think the problem is that there is
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: a real issue with climate change. So Chris Bowen is
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: technically right. There is a challenge here, and the science
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: is telling us there is a problem. But then everyone
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: goes overboard and telling you all the things that you
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: see on TV, all the worrying things from extreme weather
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: and so on, is because of global warming. But that's
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: not what the data tells us. Actually, what we've seen
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: is declining levels of cost and percent of GDP Over
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: the last thirty years, we've seen a dramatic drop in
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: the number of people that die from extreme weather related events.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: And that's fundamentally because we're really good society able to
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: tackle most of these issues. There is a climate problem,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: but it's nowhere near what we're being told, and that,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: of course both make the scientists you just quote it
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: very very scared, but it also makes us do incredibly
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: poor policies. We do need to tackle climate change, but
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: right now we're just wasting money and doing almost nothing.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: Well. Speaking of wasting money beyond our Cris Boone came
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: back the other day from the latest United Nations Climate conference,
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: the twenty ninth of them, where he gave way another
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: fifty million of our money, negotiated that you know, three
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: hundred billion us a year package. I've been struck by
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: a graphic you produce in your latest column which is
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: devastating about this climate conference, showing the years of every
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: one of those past conferences going back nearly three decades,
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: all plot against global greenhouse emissions. I see no change
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: at all, apart from when business is shut down during
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: the pandemic. Briefly, what should this graphic tell us.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Well, what fundamentally shows us is that CO two levels
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: keep going up, we keep emitting more here two.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: And remember we do this.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Because fossil fuels, which is the main reason we emit
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: here two, deliver a lot of good for humanity. Basically,
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: it delivers a lot of base load power. It delivers
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: opportunity for especially poor countries to get themselves out of poverty.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: Now there is a problem again, but you're not going
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: to get to solving that problem by telling people, Oh,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: we promise to be good. That's essentially what they've done
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: for the last twenty nine UN Climate conferences. Everyone has promised, oh,
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: we're going to cut corponent emissions in the future, and
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: of course we do no such thing because it is
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: actually very, very costly. Now the rich countries are increasingly
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: in so Australia is increasingly actually reducing their emissions, they're
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: reducing their consumption, for instance, of electricity that has real cost.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: We're seeing many of those costs here in Europe. But
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: the problem is there's a big hole world out there
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: who's still poor and wants to be rich, and they're
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: the ones driving this. We're not going to solve climate
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: by promising to be virtuous or by promising away. I
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: love the fact that you focus on the fifty million
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: dollars that Chris Bone gave away, but of course the
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: three hundred billion dollars that we're promising to give in
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: twenty to thirty five is going to be ten billion
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: dollars just from Australia each and every year. That's a
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: lot of money.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: It's just unbelievable. That's where I've got to disagree with you.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: The first twenty eight conferences were about we're promised to
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: be good. This last one was give me the cash.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: Give me the cash. It's such a cargo cult now.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: But another thing that you've pointed out in your excellent
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: fillting of what actually happened, our Chris Boone told us
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: just last week that we are well on track in
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: transitioning to win and solar.
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: Here is this statement tells us that we're on track
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: for our missions reduction target of forty three percent and
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: for eighty two percent when you will energy target.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: But beorn lumbole you've said that glow at least there
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: is no transition. That's according to your calculations. When you
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: look at all the extra energy added in the year
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: to June last year, sixty five percent of it actually
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: still came from fossil fuels, seven percent from nuclear power
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: which we've banned here, and just twenty eight percent from
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: renewables despite all those massive subsidies. Why is that? Why
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: is is those stubbornly the future so stubbornly cold and.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: Gas because most countries want cheap and reliable energy. So look,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Australia and other rich countries can afford to be virtues
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: and say we're going to pay a lot more money.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw the new data that
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: shows that England, Sir, the UK is now paying the
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: most for its electricity, both in for industry and for
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: households of any country in the world. They've basically gone
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: all radical green, but it has a huge cost and
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: we need to recognize that. But most of the world
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: is not going to play along. China got a lot
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: of renewable but even got more coal last year. Indonesia, Bangladesh,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: India got much much more. India got more of green
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: but three times more coal. Fundamentally, because coal is reliable,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: it is something that you can turn on when you
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: need it, whereas of course soil and wind only place
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: when nature wants it, and we can't run us aside
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: in that. This is what all governments around the world,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: and now realizing this is going to be fantastically costly
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: and probably impossible to do, I think.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: It's certainly impossible to do without nuclear power. In our circumstance,
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: we've got a third worlds and what a sort of
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: a think third or a quarter of the world's uranium deposits,
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: and we band it for ourselves. Beyond Lumborg. Always great
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: to see you. I'm glad to see the planets are
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: thriving still behind you. Thank you so much in d
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: for your time. After the break. The Albanizi government betrays
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: Israel in the United Nations, betrays Australia's Jews, and rewards terrorists.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: It has been a day of shame. The Albanizi government
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: has again stabbed Israel in the back, sold out our
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: democratic ally and in my opinion, helped terrorists all to
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: win Muslim and Green votes in Sydney especially. It is
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: disgusting overnighted Australia broke with the US and Israel and
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: voted in the United Nations for Palestinian statehood and for
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: the rapid withdrawal of Israel from the so called occupied territories.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: Here is the Australian Ambassador to the UN trying to
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: justify this shameful surrender to terrorists.
• 31:47
  Speaker 10: Our vote today reflects our determination that the international community
• 31:51
  Speaker 10: again work together to build momentum towards this goal. To
• 31:56
  Speaker 10: that end, we welcomed the resolution's confirmation at a high
• 32:00
  Speaker 10: level international conference be convened in twenty twenty five aimed
• 32:04
  Speaker 10: at the implementation of a two state solution for the
• 32:08
  Speaker 10: achievement of a just, lasting and comprehensive peace in the
• 32:12
  Speaker 10: Middle East.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: Peter Dutton called it out.
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: Not only did the Prime Minister promise to reduce the
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: cost of living and the cost of mortgages, he looked
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: people of Jewish faith in the eye before the election
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: and gave them a guarantee that there would be no
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: difference between the two parties, that there would be bipartisan
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: positions in relation to votes at the UN and our
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: position with regard to Israel. They've completely abandoned the Jewish community.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: So a year and two months after Hamas broke a
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: piece invaded Israel, slaughtered twelve hundred Jews, kidnapped more than
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty, and when it's still holding one
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: hundred of them, the Abanizi government demands Israel give up
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: control of land. It says it's critical to its security.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Agree right now to a Palestinian state, But a state
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: run by whom Gaza was run by Hamas terras who
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: want Israel destroyed. The West Bank is run by the
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: corrupt Palestinian authority that hasn't held an election in eighteen
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: years and plays the families of terrorists who killed Jews.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: This is also shocking. It's such a surrender to violence
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: and such a betrayal of Israel, and it's going to
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: encourage every peanut extremist on our streets. Who is there
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: really chanting from the river to the sea the destruction
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: of Israel. And by the way, where is Attorney General
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: Mark Drayfuss, He's Jewish? Why is he signed as this
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: party betrays Jews? Where is the fence? Minister Richard Miles
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: supposed to live the right? Is he going to look
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: back on this time and be proud that he said
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: nothing while this evil was done by his government? Joining
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: me are the Wild, Deputy executive director of the Institute
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: of Public Affairs. A former federal Labor MP, Michael Danby
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: was chair of the Joint Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs,
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: Defense and Trade. Michael explain this decision.
• 34:15
  Speaker 11: It's unexplainable. Is rather as just conducted a seafire under
• 34:22
  Speaker 11: American auspices in Lebanon. This certainly doesn't reward that it
• 34:27
  Speaker 11: talks about inevitable results on a two state solution, which
• 34:32
  Speaker 11: should be subjective discussion between the parties. Andrew, it's like
• 34:37
  Speaker 11: these people are reinventing the world three times Presidents Clinton.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: Obama and.
• 34:47
  Speaker 11: Who was the other one, Oh George Bush arranged two
• 34:50
  Speaker 11: state solutions and the Palestinians ran away. Mister Larson screaming
• 34:55
  Speaker 11: on behalf of Penny Wong in the United Nations isn't
• 34:59
  Speaker 11: going to convince anyone. And as to laying down the
• 35:01
  Speaker 11: law like a Marxist from Adelaide. You know, you're a
• 35:05
  Speaker 11: genius and you decide what's going to happen with the world.
• 35:09
  Speaker 11: I'm telling you, mister Larson, at least Aphanic, the new
• 35:13
  Speaker 11: American ambassador the United Nations, is going to be watching you,
• 35:16
  Speaker 11: and she knows you don't believe a word of all
• 35:18
  Speaker 11: of this nonsense. And she knows that you're dragging Australia
• 35:22
  Speaker 11: further and further away from our US alliance. And that's
• 35:25
  Speaker 11: not good for all Australians, let alone what most of
• 35:29
  Speaker 11: us think about pandering to Western Sydney before the next
• 35:33
  Speaker 11: federal election.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: What do you think is going on here, Daniel Wild?
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: Is it principle? Is it politics? Is it stupidity? What
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: on earth is driving this?
• 35:46
  Speaker 9: Well, sadly, I think it's largely politics, Andrew, as you've identified,
• 35:49
  Speaker 9: And look, you've been talking about this for a lot
• 35:50
  Speaker 9: of years now, Andrew, which is you know, the Balkanization
• 35:54
  Speaker 9: of our country and its break up into religious and
• 35:56
  Speaker 9: ethnic enclaves, and the inevitable political concert quenss of that happening,
• 36:01
  Speaker 9: and we're seeing that right now. You know, this is
• 36:03
  Speaker 9: a government whose decisions on foreign policy in relation to Israel,
• 36:08
  Speaker 9: but also in relation to our most important ally of
• 36:10
  Speaker 9: the United States, is being driven not by an assessment
• 36:13
  Speaker 9: of the changing geopolitical order, not by an assessment of
• 36:16
  Speaker 9: what is right and what is wrong, but by an
• 36:18
  Speaker 9: assessment of if they can scrape through as a minority
• 36:21
  Speaker 9: government at the next election. There are, as you know,
• 36:24
  Speaker 9: up to a third of voters who are Muslim in
• 36:27
  Speaker 9: certain labour seats. For example, Tony burk Seed is around
• 36:30
  Speaker 9: thirty percent in the western areas of Sydney. And what
• 36:33
  Speaker 9: it shows is that our migration program has failed to
• 36:37
  Speaker 9: create a cohesive society and we're seeing the downstream consequences
• 36:40
  Speaker 9: of that. You know, culture is upstream from politics, and
• 36:43
  Speaker 9: what happens when you fail to have a sensible migration
• 36:47
  Speaker 9: program and you fail to have political leadership is we
• 36:49
  Speaker 9: see these downstream consequences that are simply tearing our nation apart.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: And of course when you run a absurd multicultural program
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: that encourages this organization. Looks quite correct, Michael, you actually
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: know Mark Dreyfus, You know Richard Males. You're in the
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: same faction as Richard Males. Where are the labor MPs
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: that Labor Right MPs who must know now what is
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: being done is morally, strategically and I would hope politically wrong.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: You know, is this an example of how it's lost
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: control and direction or is there something it's.
• 37:33
  Speaker 11: Good for Australia. You're right, andrew your basic premise. It's
• 37:38
  Speaker 11: good for Australia when both political parties have mainstream foreign
• 37:42
  Speaker 11: policy concerns. And unfortunately for Australia under this government, the
• 37:47
  Speaker 11: Labor Right has absented themselves from the field. There's no
• 37:52
  Speaker 11: Bill short and there's no Kim Beasley, there's no Kimberly
• 37:54
  Speaker 11: Kitchen unfortunately to hold these people to account, and they're
• 37:59
  Speaker 11: just letting you see this isn't just I think you
• 38:03
  Speaker 11: and Daniel understand. This not just an issue for the
• 38:06
  Speaker 11: Australian Jewish community about them betraying Israel, admitting three thousand
• 38:12
  Speaker 11: unchecked Guardians to Australia, the unchecked anti Jewish bigotry that
• 38:17
  Speaker 11: we've seen since the Opera House, the enormous rift we're
• 38:21
  Speaker 11: building up with the future Trump administration over our failure
• 38:26
  Speaker 11: to even be cautious about the international criminal courts attack
• 38:31
  Speaker 11: on a democratically elected leader who's not even a signatory
• 38:35
  Speaker 11: like the United States to the ICC. All of these
• 38:39
  Speaker 11: things create a picture for Australians that this government is
• 38:43
  Speaker 11: beholden to extreme Middle East factions. They don't like it
• 38:50
  Speaker 11: in regional Australia as much as they don't like it
• 38:53
  Speaker 11: in Corefield.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: Well tell me when you're going to tear up your
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: Labor Party membership. I'd like you to do on my show,
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: because understand how you'll be part of a party that's
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: so sick.
• 39:03
  Speaker 11: Well, it was a desire and I'm not going to
• 39:06
  Speaker 11: give it up to these Rarely was.
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: I worked for the party back then too, but never again.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: Daniel the mass immigration. This government yesterday issued its latest
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: list of core skills it said it was looking for
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: when it was importing skilled migrants. I'm surprised with this list,
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: so many journalists being laid off at the moment, that
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: we still need to import foreign television journalists and public
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: relations people. That we need to import hairdressers as well,
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: and massage therapists or foreign tour guards to show tourists
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: our Australia. How does that work? Childcare workers? What about
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: yoga instructors and wu shoe martial arts coaches? Is really
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: really going to collapse if this government doesn't import more
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: of all these people.
• 39:54
  Speaker 9: Well, exactly, Andrew, and you will have you were talking
• 39:56
  Speaker 9: about this earlier with the news that we've had seven
• 39:58
  Speaker 9: consecutive quarters of negative per capita economic growth. So this
• 40:02
  Speaker 9: is the longest decline to living standards since digitized records
• 40:06
  Speaker 9: began in the early nineteen seventies. So you know, the
• 40:08
  Speaker 9: reality is that not only as you pointed out, there's
• 40:10
  Speaker 9: a massive mismatch between skills and migrants. We've got about
• 40:13
  Speaker 9: three hundred and thirty thousand job vacancies across Australia, but
• 40:17
  Speaker 9: they're not getting into the jobs that we need. But
• 40:19
  Speaker 9: it's also making our country poorer. It hasn't been planned for,
• 40:22
  Speaker 9: it doesn't have the consent of the community, and it's
• 40:24
  Speaker 9: not targeted towards areas of economic need. Now, I'm not
• 40:27
  Speaker 9: blaming the migrants for this at all, because I have
• 40:29
  Speaker 9: nothing but respect for those who leave their homeland, sacrifice,
• 40:33
  Speaker 9: work hard, and toil to have a better life for
• 40:35
  Speaker 9: their family and their kids. Because why wouldn't you want
• 40:37
  Speaker 9: to come to a country like Australia with all of
• 40:39
  Speaker 9: our freedoms and our opportunities. But the reality is that
• 40:42
  Speaker 9: the mass migration program is not working. We've just talked
• 40:45
  Speaker 9: about the social cohesion problems, but the number one course
• 40:49
  Speaker 9: of our economy going backwards is this unplanned program and
• 40:53
  Speaker 9: the government is not hitting its targets. So look, I
• 40:55
  Speaker 9: think it's time that the program is reduced fairly significantly
• 40:59
  Speaker 9: and we get it back in all.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: I'm just being reminded in my earpiece that there are
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: three English producers behind this show. Well, okay, there you go.
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: Perhaps we do need foreign producers. Daniel Wilder, Michael Danby,
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: Thank you very much to you both. After the break,
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: the Chinese tycoon who is pub chain has just tried
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: to ban Australia Day. Wouldn't dare insult China that way?
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: Have gone through what is written? Yeah, when you look
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: at the drift, the disaster of this government, lack of leadership.
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: A lot of a lot of people like to mock
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump, but there's something very different about his leadership.
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: I know it's very branch and sometimes erratic and scares me,
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: but he's always testing things. That's the other side. Testing
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: it doesn't work it, can it be better? How can
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: I get a good deal of it out for my country?
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: Give it a shake, test everything, and do not cower.
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: Very different. Don't you think I'll give you an example,
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: Trump said to Canada, it was last week. I think
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: stop drugs coming over your border to the US, or
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: I'll specially with tariffs. Within days, Canada's Prime minister was
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: in Trump's home for Thanksgiving, but Donald Trump still didn't
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: let up on him.
• 42:13
  Speaker 12: We are told that Wan tru Doah told President like
• 42:16
  Speaker 12: Trump that new tariffs would kill the Canadian economy. Trump
• 42:21
  Speaker 12: joked to him that if Canada can't survive without ripping
• 42:24
  Speaker 12: off the US to the tune of one hundred billion
• 42:26
  Speaker 12: dollars a year, then maybe Canada should become the fifty
• 42:30
  Speaker 12: first state and Trudeau could become its governor.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: As a ram at home, Trump posted this picture of
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: him looking over the Canadian real estate. Joining me is
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: Ron Dean to achieve the Spectator straight and hosts of
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: Outside his on Sky News every Sunday at nine am.
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: There is a creativity there to this chaos in there.
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: Rowan like nothing sacred. Everything can be tested. He wants
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: the best deal always.
• 42:55
  Speaker 13: Well, Andrew, I'll tell you in a second why Donald
• 42:57
  Speaker 13: Trump is such a genius. But first of all, I'm
• 42:58
  Speaker 13: going to go where Michael and did not dare go.
• 43:01
  Speaker 13: I am going to tear up live on your television show, Andrew,
• 43:05
  Speaker 13: my labor party membership. It is gone, the whole lot
• 43:10
  Speaker 13: of it. I know they I know they're going to
• 43:12
  Speaker 13: be upset. They're going to be very disappointed. They'll be
• 43:13
  Speaker 13: begging me to come back.
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: But that's it.
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: I've had enough.
• 43:17
  Speaker 13: Wong and Albanezy have finally lost me and I'm sorry.
• 43:19
  Speaker 13: That's just the way it goes. But on to Donald.
• 43:21
  Speaker 14: What am I going to do with the local labor
• 43:23
  Speaker 14: branch with Arby Andrew? It'll be a disaster. Now onto
• 43:32
  Speaker 14: Donald Trump. The reason Donald Trump is so successful is
• 43:36
  Speaker 14: because he's not a politician. Now that might sound odd,
• 43:38
  Speaker 14: seeing he's won two presidential elections.
• 43:41
  Speaker 13: I would argue he might have even won a third,
• 43:43
  Speaker 13: but there you go. That's for another day. But he's
• 43:45
  Speaker 13: not a politician. He's a businessman.
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: And as a businessman, businessman.
• 43:49
  Speaker 13: Yeah, he's a businessman who wants to get results that
• 43:52
  Speaker 13: are financially based, where if you're exporting, you sell more
• 43:56
  Speaker 13: than you buy. If you're a trading nation, you trade,
• 43:59
  Speaker 13: you set sell and send overseas more than you're bringing in.
• 44:02
  Speaker 13: It's pretty simple. If you're being threatened by another country,
• 44:07
  Speaker 13: you use whatever tools you have at your disposal, preferably
• 44:11
  Speaker 13: not military, to get your way. If it comes to
• 44:16
  Speaker 13: requiring military force, he will use military force. And everybody
• 44:20
  Speaker 13: knows that and appreciates that. But the reason that Donald
• 44:23
  Speaker 13: Trump is so effective is he refuses to play all
• 44:27
  Speaker 13: these politically correct games that the diplomats play at the
• 44:31
  Speaker 13: United Nations and that all the groups like all the
• 44:36
  Speaker 13: ngngos and others play, Oh, we can't say this, and
• 44:38
  Speaker 13: we've got to do that, and the global order and
• 44:40
  Speaker 13: world based order and all this sort of stuff. He's
• 44:43
  Speaker 13: interested in what is in America's self interest and what
• 44:46
  Speaker 13: I would say to Australia in particular this, as you said,
• 44:49
  Speaker 13: this completely hopeless government we've got Australia unfortunately has to
• 44:54
  Speaker 13: pick a side. Light has to be on America's side
• 44:56
  Speaker 13: or not on America's side. And the way that this
• 44:58
  Speaker 13: government is going, as the government is going, it is
• 45:01
  Speaker 13: clearly on America's side. Now every Australia needs to be really,
• 45:06
  Speaker 13: really concerned about that, because that is not what we
• 45:09
  Speaker 13: were told before the last election. But on every issue,
• 45:13
  Speaker 13: whether it's Israel, whether it's climate change, whether it's energy everything,
• 45:16
  Speaker 13: this labor albany.
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: You can be a cigarette paper between the parties on
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: foreign affairs, it wouldn't be you know, well, now we're
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: seeing it. I mean it's a disgrace. I hearpe people
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: say say, oh, well, this is them showing they're independent.
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: It's not independent to be reflexively anti American and siding
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: with the you know, the rebel in the Middle East.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: That's not independent. That's just you're still dependent, just you know,
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: in a different way the other There was a pr
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: disaster this week that I've got to get onto. Yes, Andrew,
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: Drew Pavlou put me onto this. The pub chain Rowan
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: that tried to ban Australia celebrations until it was threatened
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: with Boycott's. It's owned by Hong Kong company chaired by
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: Way Joan Shan, who when it comes to China seems
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: to me a bit of a nationalist defending its claims
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: that I want, defending his claims to the South China Sea,
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: defending China's oppression of the Muslim veig Is this counter
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: terrorism part of a war on terror? See what gets me? Rowan?
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: So this guy probably faced ruin if he did. Is
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: this company dard criticize China's colonial pass say, like in Tibet,
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: like it criticized ours. We're into self flagulation like almost
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: no other country I know of Rowan, and with less
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: reason to do it. Yeah.
• 46:35
  Speaker 13: Well, imagine Andrew, if I toddled off to Shanghai, bought
• 46:39
  Speaker 13: a little cafe there on the board, set up a
• 46:41
  Speaker 13: little bar there. It went well, I opened one in Beijing,
• 46:45
  Speaker 13: another one out in the provinces in Guangzhou. And then
• 46:47
  Speaker 13: comes the big military day when Jibingping is ji Jingping
• 46:51
  Speaker 13: is there with rockets, and I said, oh no, no, no,
• 46:53
  Speaker 13: we're not going to celebrate this dreadful Chinese day because
• 46:56
  Speaker 13: they'll upset some people. I think I'd be off. I'd
• 46:58
  Speaker 13: be joining the wigas off in some re education camp
• 47:02
  Speaker 13: if I were lucky. But the scary thing here or
• 47:05
  Speaker 13: not the scary thing, Andrew, The revealing thing here is
• 47:08
  Speaker 13: this shows you precisely how all those woke types are
• 47:13
  Speaker 13: fellow travelers of those who hate and dislike Australia. Now,
• 47:17
  Speaker 13: and I'm not saying this particular character had any influence
• 47:20
  Speaker 13: over the decision by them, have no idea, But what
• 47:25
  Speaker 13: I do know is that he clearly didn't put a
• 47:27
  Speaker 13: stop to it until it had blown up in their faces.
• 47:31
  Speaker 13: But the reality is that, as Drew has pointed out,
• 47:35
  Speaker 13: Andrew does a terrific job. As Drew has pointed out,
• 47:39
  Speaker 13: you know that how we should be putting our national
• 47:42
  Speaker 13: interest first in all places. Yes, we want friendly relationships
• 47:45
  Speaker 13: to other countries. It goes without saying. But when a company,
• 47:48
  Speaker 13: a corporation which the CEO is from a foreign country
• 47:54
  Speaker 13: that has differences with us politically, is then playing politics,
• 47:58
  Speaker 13: which is what that Australia they ban was playing politics,
• 48:01
  Speaker 13: running down the country, causing division of a political nature.
• 48:05
  Speaker 13: I don't think. I think the lesson there is you know,
• 48:10
  Speaker 13: what's the real agenda behind the woe hatred of Australia day?
• 48:13
  Speaker 13: What's the real agenda behind the woke you know, windmills
• 48:17
  Speaker 13: and all the stuff.
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: Your self hatred? Though Rowan, which country survives with so
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: much self hatred and which has done so little to
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: deserve it? You compare us to almost anyone. It's just
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: a tragedy Roundein. Always great to talk to you. I
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: do hope you get back together with the your friends
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: in the Labor Party at some stage that thanks for
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: your time. That's it for me, coming up now, Sherry Maxon,
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: good Night,
