  Speaker 1: This gives the report good evening.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: I'm Danikiti Giorgio filling in on the show tonight.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Coming up, Labor rolls.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Out it's three eyed fish nuclear scare campaign, as experts
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: slam the government's tactics as deeply embarrassing. The ABC is
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: gunning for more of our taxpayer dollars to turn the
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: public broadcaster into get this a reimagined national campfire. More
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: on that later, plus outrage as toddlers are taught about
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Gay Pride Month. But first, It's only been a day
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: since the Coalition unveiled its nuclear plan and Labour's meltdown
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: of nuclear proportions has started. We are seeing images of
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: three eyed fish and unhinged rhetoric from the government.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: This is just a fantasy. Instead of snow White and
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: the Seven Dwarves, this is Peter Dutton the seven nuclear reactors.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Did he pull that line out himself or did one
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: of his eleven advisors slip him that one?
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Well, Albo, I think you'll find we know who is
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: dopey and sleepy. It's you and your old mate Bowen.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Now, last night on this program, I spoke about the
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: impending nuclear doom campaign coming from Labor and I showed
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: you a little clip from the Simpsons. Now look watch out,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: because Labor will focus on big, bad nuclear scare campaigns.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: In fact, we've been given an exclusive look at just
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: one of those they're going to roll out.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: All right, we.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: Did wait a minute, one.
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: Two read.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: There is Barney the three eyed Fish.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Well I was right about that scare campaign because have
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: a look at this tweet today by Victorian Premier J
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: cinter Allen saying the Liberal Party want a toxic and
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: expensive nuclear reactor in Gippsland. We're already getting on with
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: building cheap and reliable renewable energy to power Victoria. And
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: have a look at the picture there it is. It's
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: the three eyed Fish, Barney from the Simpsons. Someone explain
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: it to me. Is just cinter Allan seriously saying that
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: nuclear power is so bad because of Blinky the three
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: eyed Fish, a made up character on a made.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Up television show. Is at the science the evidence she
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: has based her decision on.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: And take a look at this one from Labor front
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: bencher Andrew Lee.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Is this what Peter Dutton.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Wants Blinky to look like in fifty years? He says,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Blinky with three eyes and Albo's union mates also chimed
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: in under Dutton, this will be your.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Family dog, give me a break.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: These are some of the desperate ways senior Labor figures
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: are trying to scare voters using made up and deformed
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: three eyed animals, trying to turn you against the prospect
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: of an alternative, proven energy source that has worked for
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: decades all around the world and continues in thirty two
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: countries to this day. It is childish and pathetic. So
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: it's unsurprising that the Prime Minister is encouraging this three
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: eyed lunacy.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: It's a serious issue, isn't it.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: So would you urge your colleagues to steer clear of
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: some of that.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: We're not going to take lectures, Karen. We're not going
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: to take lectures from the coalition that are out there
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: running scare campaigns about everything. Every issue is an opportunity
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: for them to steer away from the fact.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: The double standards are phenomenal. Never mind, Labor has acquired
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: nuclear power submarines in which our sub mariners will work on.
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: Are you saying that our sub mariners are now going
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: to have three eyes because they'll be on a nuclear
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: powered submarine? Answers no, this is just another scare campaign
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: that has been spearheaded by weak leadership from this Prime minister.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: If this was dangerous, if it was going to create
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: three eyed fish, somebody bitter Telemanuel Macomb because he promised
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: eight new nuclear reactors in France ten days ago. Labor
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: is assuming we're all duds, so dumb and so daft
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: that we'll believe anything, including Frankenstein animals with eyes on
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: their legs, their ears attached to their kneecaps.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: It's as laughable as it is offensive.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Their anti nuclear platform is undermining our intelligence and ability
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: to make a decision for ourselves. It proves they are
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: unwilling to have a proper, mature debate about keeping the
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: lights on in this country and securing our energy future
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: for generations to come.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: And the facts speak for themselves already.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Nuclear experts have come out labeling this behavior as deeply embarrassing.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Engineer and founder of Nuclear for Climate Australia Robert Parker
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: said this is not the way civilian nuclear power systems work.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: He's told The Daily Telegraph. No member of the public
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: has been exposed to radiation from nuclear power plants on
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: the waste issue that has never been an incident that
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: has had any effect on anybody, from the storage of
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: nuclear waste.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: For a nuclear power plant. Yes, Albo was peddling this today.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: This is farcical. Frankly, Kieran, this is economic catastrophe. Now
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: you would have us believe that a mob had struggle
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: to assemble an ikea flat pack, going to start from
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: scratch and be able to develop a nuclear energy industry
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: in it.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's talk about the economic catastrophes. And that is
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Labour's renewables fantasy as it trots ahead with its plan
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: to achieve climate targets on renewables only, something no other
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: country has been able to do. Electricity prices have risen
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: by double digit rates across the past two years, and
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: dopey and sleepy have been worn today by the Energy
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Market Operator after it was forced to convene an emergency
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: meeting of the gas industry. It says fuel supplies are
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: running tight and without urgent action there could be insufficient
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: reserves for the rest of winter. It could send electricity
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: bills higher and heighten concerns around the viability of the
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: country's manufacturing sector, which depend on gas for its operations.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: But of course that's okay because Bowen will tell you to.
• 6:58
  Speaker 7: Stick with the plan. Get to eighty two percent renewables.
• 7:02
  Speaker 7: To stick with the plan for the cheapest form of energy,
• 7:05
  Speaker 7: which is renewables. To stick with the plan, which is
• 7:06
  Speaker 7: seen renewable energy up by twenty five percent since we
• 7:10
  Speaker 7: came to office. Which stick with the plan. To stick
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: with the plan. Stick with the plan.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, stick to the plan. That's sending us broke and
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: blacked out. AEMO has already previously said Australia needs to
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: double its roll out of new transmission lines by the
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: end of the decade or risk the reliability of the grid.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: It said, meeting Anthony Albanesi's eighty two percent renewable energy
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: target by twenty thirty requires urgent infrastructure investment or the
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: national electricity market will not be ready for the early
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: exit of coal.
• 7:43
  Speaker 8: Under Labour's plan, they want to roll out twenty eight
• 7:46
  Speaker 8: thousand kilometers of new poles and wires. Their overall plan
• 7:50
  Speaker 8: costs one point two to one point five trillion dollars
• 7:52
  Speaker 8: and I want to get electricity bills down. I don't
• 7:54
  Speaker 8: want to see them go up dramatically as Labour's proposing.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: At the moment yeah, Labour's climbate targets have been smashed
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: to smithereens. So while seeing your figures are busy on
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: photo shop, the Coalition is getting down to business on
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: nuclear Joining me now is the former Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Joyce Barnaby, good to see you. I believe you're on
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: school camp tonight. I feel like I need to mention
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: why you're on a bus joining us this evening.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: Well, you know how Dabo goes to Sydney for their
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: school trips, well, wolfe because wilbur Public School goes to Dubo.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: So here I am on the bus with Well, they're
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: not here anymore. They're in an observatory when ten per
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: bowling last night, to the zoo today, to the bottle
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: house which is which is very entertaining where the bottles
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: and fairies happen. And yep, I'm on daddy, so I'm
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: the man who has to look after the boys when
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: they need to go to the toilet and boys happen
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: with me.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Well, happy day.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: You're a great dad. You're out there doing your duty
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: and on the bus joining us. We really appreciated Barnaby. Now, look,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: let's talk about nuclear because as we've seen, Labor is
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: rolling out the three eyed fish. Today, the Frankenstein scare
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: campaigns have started.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Are you surprised, No, Look at what it is.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: It's an insult to you. It's an intult assualt to Australians.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: They're not relying on science, They're lying on the Simpsons
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: to try and win their case. So I mean, if
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: this using their analogy, all of Sydney will be full
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: of mutants with three eyes. Because there is a nuclear
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: reactor in Australia. It's bang smack in the geographic center
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: of Sydney. It's been there for decades and no one
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: gives a toss. If there are arguments correct, the whole
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: of France, I imagine, would be having these catastrophic deformities. But
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: of course France isn't. And China China, China has nuclear power,
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: and India has nuclear power, and the United States has
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: nuclear power, and England has nuclear power, and Finland has
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: nuclear power, and the United Arab Emerands has nuclear power,
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: and Brazil has nuclear power, and Argentina has nuclear power,
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: and Canada has nuclear power. I mean the trouble is
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: we have you raided him, but they just want to
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: throw a main knuckle dragons from the cave. Who our
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: only job in this part industry is to dig up
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: the rocks and send it to the clever people for
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: them to use. Now, this is an absurdity. They belief
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: that Rolls Royce, Westinghouse, General Electric, Skoda Hyunda, that all
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: these companies are out there and they're they're all just
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: so dopey. They're involved in the nuclear industry because they
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: just want to hurt people and create calamities and lose money. No,
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: the only calamity that we've got is Minister Bowen and
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: Prime Minister Albernezi. I mean a Minister Bowen. I mean,
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: look at the form of this guy. If he was
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: a race horse, when you look at his ministries, if
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: he was a race horse, you'd be putting on a
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: truck to the pet food company. This guy is hopeless,
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: yet we're relying on him to rewire the nation. Now,
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: I reckon that this is a chance for Australia to
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: basically show how clever we can be, to catch up
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: to the rest of the world, to make sure those
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: high paying jobs are from the construction and running of
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: a nuclear facility are Australian jobs, because not only two,
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: we're going to have nuclear submarines in Australia, which will
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: cause the nuclear power. We're actually putting four and a
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: half billion dollars on the table for the United Kingdom
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: to middle US new factors, but we won't build ourselves.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: It is in Spaine and just they're just philosigns. The
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: Labor Party are just cave dwelling philosines and the best
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: they can come up with is the Simpsons.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's it.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't see any of the other countries
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: around the world walking around like mutants. Barnaby Joyce is extraordinary.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: You mentioned Chris Bowen. He was back at it today
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: and this is what he said today about the nuclear plan.
• 11:57
  Speaker 7: A fantasy many decades off, with no costings, no modeling
• 12:03
  Speaker 7: and no consultation. It doesn't make economic sense and it's
• 12:06
  Speaker 7: a massive distruction from this renewable energy transformation.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Another day, another fan Yeah, yeah, one.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: Thing with own fingers figures. In the paper to day
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: they said a nuclear power plant would cost eight point
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: four billion dollars, even though in Japan and Korea they
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: build them in about three years. They just use sort
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: of cookie cutter processes but let's let's give them at
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: the eight point four billion dollars. At the moment we're
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: building snow hydro two point zero, we all acknowledged it's
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: now costing twelve billion dollars. Now that's two thousand megawatts
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: for ten days, and that's it runs out of water.
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: So the great shining light of renewables, of backup is
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: one and a half times the expense of their own costing,
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: their own unfavorable costings of a nuclear power plant. And
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: they believe that that snow hydros going to twenty billion dollars.
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: I think to stop the argument right there about which
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: one's expensive. It's in the it is stuck underground in
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: the snowy mountains. That that is the one that cost
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: you an Armena lee. And forty percent of your power
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: bills comes from poles and wires. So what it is
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: is the intimittent power industry, the swindle factories and the
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: voltagotag black black fields one from here, another twenty eight
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: thousand kilometers of poles and wise.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Extraordinary you do you do exactly that they're sending us
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: broke and blacked out.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Barnaby Joyce.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: Now, I just want to quickly ask you, because as
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: I mentioned earlier, Australia's Energy Market Operator has convened an
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: emergency meeting of the gas industry today. It's warning that
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: fuel supplies are running tight and without urgent intervention, that
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: could be insufficient reserves for the rest of winter. Barnaby,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: you know, labor's running on empty with its renewables. Fantasy
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: lights have barely been kept on. But now we've a
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: gas problem.
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: And that's their own AEMO. I mean, let's look at it.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: What major manufacturer wants to move to Australia, because I
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: can tell you the ones who want to move out
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: at aliminium industry, a plastics industry, our fuel refining industry,
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: even our food processing industry or running for the door,
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: and no one wants to move here. And the pensioners,
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: their power price is going through the roof. This will have,
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: the AMO says it's themselves, will have an exponential effect
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: on the price of power, so the poor become poorer.
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: Because the management critique, the capacity of mister Alberanasi and
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: mister Bowen to manage an economy is appalling and just
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: on mister Alberesi, they wouldn't be able to put a
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: flat pack together. I bet you that fellow change a tructor.
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: I would love to see someone roll a truck up
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: department house and give say, find the spare and change it.
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: He would not have a hope, not I hope in
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: eighties the guys, he don't he ever been. He's been
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: a guy who works in Parlmer House. That's all he is.
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: He's a fellow from Parlmer House.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, and look we're unsurprised though those campaigns have really begun.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Barnaby Joyce, good to speak with you, as always, have
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: fun on camp.
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: Good luck, Back to Dubbo.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Back to Dubbo, enjoy Barnaby Joyce, thank you. Well, let's
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: get some local reaction now too. Peter Dutton's nuclear plan
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: now the plan to Wrong and collide power plants are
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: both in Coalition held electorates, and that includes the Queensland
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: seat of Flynn, which is held by National MP Colin Boyce.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: And Colin Boyce joins me. Now, thank you so much
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: for joining us. Firstly, do you support a nuclear reactor
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: in your seat?
• 15:42
  Speaker 9: Absolutely? We've got to have nuclear power.
• 15:45
  Speaker 10: The reality is that there is not one single country
• 15:49
  Speaker 10: in the world that relies totally on renewable energy for
• 15:52
  Speaker 10: their manufacturing and industrial base, and if we go down
• 15:56
  Speaker 10: that road, what we're doing is slowing the throat of
• 16:00
  Speaker 10: Australian jobs into the future, particularly in heavy industry. Please
• 16:04
  Speaker 10: explain to me how you are going to run drag
• 16:07
  Speaker 10: lines in central Queensland. How are you going to run
• 16:10
  Speaker 10: the electric trains that deliver all the cold of the
• 16:13
  Speaker 10: cold terminal at Gladston. Please explain to me how you
• 16:16
  Speaker 10: will run the alumina industry on wind turbine and solar
• 16:18
  Speaker 10: panels and batteries. These forms of energy production are reliant
• 16:23
  Speaker 10: on the weather, and when the sun doesn't shine and
• 16:26
  Speaker 10: the wind doesn't blow, it doesn't produce any electricity and
• 16:30
  Speaker 10: therefore all of those big industries and businesses will fail.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Yes, spot on what's been the reaction to this nuclear
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: plan in the elector at a local supportive of having
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: a plant?
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Then what percentage would you.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Say the community actually want this?
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: Look?
• 16:47
  Speaker 10: I think the community support is very positive. Its early days. Obviously,
• 16:52
  Speaker 10: we have had widespread community consultation in the last several months,
• 16:56
  Speaker 10: holding several community forums on the issue.
• 17:00
  Speaker 9: I've met with.
• 17:01
  Speaker 10: Local councils including Gladsdon Council, Banana Council and members of
• 17:05
  Speaker 10: Rockhampton Council about the issue. The overwhelming response is positive.
• 17:12
  Speaker 10: People in these electorates such as mine, who are basically
• 17:17
  Speaker 10: the big economic engine room generators for the Australian economy,
• 17:21
  Speaker 10: are a little bit energy savvy more than most Australians.
• 17:24
  Speaker 10: They understand that they need reliable power otherwise they don't
• 17:29
  Speaker 10: have jobs.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: No, well, that's it. That is a scary part here.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Now both the Labor state government and also the LMP
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: opposition up in Queensland have said no to nuclear. What
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: do you make of David Chris A. Fooley saying it's
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: not going to happen even if I win.
• 17:47
  Speaker 9: Well, I think you'll find Hill backpedal on that.
• 17:49
  Speaker 10: He had to backpedal on the Great Arts and Basin issue,
• 17:52
  Speaker 10: he had to backpedal on the treaty issue, he had
• 17:54
  Speaker 10: to backpedal on the voice issue. Ultimately he will backpedal
• 17:58
  Speaker 10: on the nuclear issue as well because they simply do
• 18:01
  Speaker 10: not have an energy plan.
• 18:02
  Speaker 9: And if you.
• 18:03
  Speaker 10: Talk to those people, please explain to me how they
• 18:06
  Speaker 10: are going to run heavy industry in Queensland. They do
• 18:10
  Speaker 10: not support pump hygro. They don't want nuclear power. They
• 18:15
  Speaker 10: support seventy five percent emissions targets by twenty thirty five,
• 18:19
  Speaker 10: which basically says no colified power stations in ten years.
• 18:24
  Speaker 9: Please explain to me what your plan is.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: Well, there needs to be a plan to keep the
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: lights on and that's the critical issue here. Look, let's
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: talk about what labor, Federal labor are doing up there
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: in your electric.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Because they've got this huge.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: Renewables and green hydrogen plan for Gladstone where you are.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: They're calling it a hub, some ten thousand wind turbine,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: solar farms, the whole shebang.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: That's a lot of land.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: That will need to be carved up to accommodate such
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: a project.
• 18:54
  Speaker 10: Well, it's absolute insanity when you actually sit down and
• 18:56
  Speaker 10: analyze it. They want to have a four minuis million
• 19:00
  Speaker 10: ton industrial hydrogen precinct which will require one hundred and
• 19:05
  Speaker 10: ten gigawatts of power. So for the listeners, that is
• 19:09
  Speaker 10: approximately double Australia's entire electrical generating capacity right now, just
• 19:16
  Speaker 10: for the Gladstone proposed hydrogen hub, ten thousand wind turbines,
• 19:22
  Speaker 10: two and a half thousand square kilometers of solar panels
• 19:26
  Speaker 10: just to produce this proposed four million tons of hydrogen.
• 19:30
  Speaker 9: It is absolute insanity. It won't happen, No, it won't.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: But also, you know, this is what you don't hear
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: from the environmentalist. We do not want to talk about
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: the fact that land's going to be carved up. You know,
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: marine life will be destroyed from it. They're very silent
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: when it comes to that aspect of it.
• 19:48
  Speaker 10: Well, absolutely right, where's the Environmental Defender's Office? I mean,
• 19:52
  Speaker 10: they are a taxpayer funded department who is supposed to
• 19:55
  Speaker 10: be coming out and defending the environment. And what we
• 19:59
  Speaker 10: see from the wind turbine companies is the fragmentation of
• 20:04
  Speaker 10: the last big stems of remnant vegetation up and down
• 20:08
  Speaker 10: the Great Dividing Range in Queensland.
• 20:11
  Speaker 9: What is the Environmental Defender's Office doing? Absolutely nothing?
• 20:15
  Speaker 10: And to add insult to injury, all of this has
• 20:18
  Speaker 10: been deliberately designed by the Queensland government so that these
• 20:22
  Speaker 10: companies do not have to comply with environmental regulations, with
• 20:27
  Speaker 10: reef legislation, with tree clearing guidelines, or any of the
• 20:30
  Speaker 10: other protocols that cast upon the agricultural sector and the
• 20:34
  Speaker 10: mining and resource sector.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: It's extraordinary, isn't it. Columboys. Good to speak with you.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Thanks so much for joining us on the show this evening.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Well coming up shocking revelations at a daycare center is
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: running an LGBT Pride month lesson for children as young
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: as six months old. Plus why the federal police are
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: working with autism experts to stem the online radicalization of
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: young people that's next. The alleged terror attack on Sydney
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Bishop mar Mari Emmanuel prompted conversations about the people in
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: this country who are radicalizing young people and openly preaching
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: hate and tiptoeing around Islam's extremist sect has also become
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: far too common, and now we have a new problem,
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: it seems.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: The Daily Telegraph reports federal police.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Are working with autism experts to try and stem the
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: number of young people with the disorder being radicalized online
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: by violent extremists, and police have seen an increase in
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: under sixteen's on a path to radicalization since July twenty
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: twenty one, with some planning attacks at schools on students
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: and teachers, or looking to make explosives or even use weapons.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Joining me now is Greg Barton, professor at the Alfred
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Deacon Institute for citizenship and globalization. Thank you so much
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: for joining us this evening. Why are autistic children being targeted?
• 22:02
  Speaker 11: Well, Nick, I think the language of targeting is spot on.
• 22:05
  Speaker 11: We're talking about recruiters looking for vulnerable young people, children
• 22:08
  Speaker 11: who they can falsely befriend and persuade that they're going
• 22:12
  Speaker 11: to help them. So they're looking for lonely children, and
• 22:16
  Speaker 11: often for children on the autism spectrum. Loaning on this
• 22:19
  Speaker 11: is part of their experience growing up. They also are
• 22:22
  Speaker 11: more likely to fixate on things, and extremist recruiters can
• 22:26
  Speaker 11: use that and exploit that to win their attention and
• 22:30
  Speaker 11: then to persuade them to focus on their material. So
• 22:34
  Speaker 11: there's nothing about autism that predisposes somebody to radicalization, but
• 22:39
  Speaker 11: recruiters will exploit loneliness and other vulnerabilities, and if they
• 22:43
  Speaker 11: identify somebody as being on the spectrum and having an
• 22:49
  Speaker 11: interest in fixating on certain things, they will try and
• 22:51
  Speaker 11: play to that. So we've seen this happen too often
• 22:54
  Speaker 11: to ignore it. We need to pay attention to trying
• 22:56
  Speaker 11: to safeguard these young people.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, it's frightening to hear this. How are these kids
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: being targeted? What are these groups doing to try and
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: lure them in well, first.
• 23:07
  Speaker 11: Of all, get their attention, and then strike up a
• 23:08
  Speaker 11: conversation and befriend them, present themselves as people who are
• 23:11
  Speaker 11: interested in them, who value them, and who want to
• 23:14
  Speaker 11: listen to them. So that's very much a social grooming process.
• 23:18
  Speaker 11: It happens with other kinds of crime, including unfortunately, child
• 23:20
  Speaker 11: sexual exploitation. The video that perhaps fixes the child's attention
• 23:25
  Speaker 11: to begin with is not the main problem. The main
• 23:28
  Speaker 11: problem is the friend they meet in the chat group,
• 23:30
  Speaker 11: the person who approaches them and then tries to groom them,
• 23:34
  Speaker 11: And that's what we've got to focus on. We use
• 23:36
  Speaker 11: the phrase self radicalization, but generally it's not one individual
• 23:39
  Speaker 11: by themselves passively consuming. It's somebody who's wandered into a
• 23:43
  Speaker 11: space where somebody's preyed upon them and then groom them
• 23:46
  Speaker 11: into a relationship that they can exploit.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: As I mentioned in that introduction, there has been an
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: increase in kids under the age of sixteen on this
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: path to radicalization since July twenty twenty one, and even
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: Spy Chief Mike Burgers warned months ago that Sunny Islamic
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: violent extremism post is the greatest religiously motivated threat in
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: this country. Are we taking this threat seriously enough in
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: your view?
• 24:12
  Speaker 11: Look, certainly, people like Mike Burgess as directly General and
• 24:15
  Speaker 11: Security and head of Asia are taking it very seriously.
• 24:17
  Speaker 11: They keep reminding us, and that's a good thing because
• 24:19
  Speaker 11: we don't hear from that community as much as we should.
• 24:21
  Speaker 11: We know that police and also community groups that police
• 24:24
  Speaker 11: work with are taking it seriously. It's one of those
• 24:26
  Speaker 11: difficult topics. We need to keep this top of mind
• 24:30
  Speaker 11: and not give up on it, but not get paranoid.
• 24:33
  Speaker 11: And particularly we have to be careful not to traumatize
• 24:36
  Speaker 11: and stigmatize families and children who who might be at risk.
• 24:40
  Speaker 11: Community groups work with police to do this very well,
• 24:44
  Speaker 11: but it is good to periodically have these conversations and
• 24:47
  Speaker 11: to remind families if they have concerns to speak up
• 24:49
  Speaker 11: and seek help because there's now expert help available.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Now, I want to ask you about another story because
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: a radical Islamic preacher known as Brother Mohammad, who called
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: for Muslim army and an Islamic stage with Sharia law
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: under a final solution, has been outed.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: By the Daily Telegraph as a regular.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: Speaker at events run by extremist group.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: His Butteria. This is some of the sermon.
• 25:13
  Speaker 12: This has to be a spark for them and a
• 25:16
  Speaker 12: spark to the final solution.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: Do you like the mussumo.
• 25:19
  Speaker 12: I'm the one leader, the khalif, the imam that infleuments
• 25:25
  Speaker 12: the shaddy of a last of parent dalla and he
• 25:27
  Speaker 12: sings them wisli army to defend the lands.
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: Obviously, this is the only solution from the book of
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: a law.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: Now we know that his Butteria is under increased scrutiny
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: amid revelations it was active on the grounds of Sydney
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: University's pro Palestine encampments.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Greg I want to ask you about this because.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: It's a banned terrorist organization in the UK, but still
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: it's legal in Australia.
• 25:53
  Speaker 9: Why.
• 25:55
  Speaker 11: Yeah, it's a it's a really good question, Sadika. His
• 25:58
  Speaker 11: book Tararia is notorious the desperate from media attention, So
• 26:01
  Speaker 11: you know, we have to recognize that we're giving them attention.
• 26:04
  Speaker 11: Now they sail just one side of the law to
• 26:08
  Speaker 11: avoid being arrested at facing charges, but try and be
• 26:11
  Speaker 11: so provocative that they get regular media attention because they're
• 26:14
  Speaker 11: desperate to try and recruit. They don't have traction with
• 26:16
  Speaker 11: mainstream Muslim society. If groups are hosting them, it's probably
• 26:20
  Speaker 11: because they're caught unawares, So in that sense, it's good
• 26:22
  Speaker 11: to highlight this. In Australia, so far, the balance has
• 26:26
  Speaker 11: been that banning them would cause more trouble than it
• 26:29
  Speaker 11: would solve, because it would make the martyrs, it would
• 26:31
  Speaker 11: take them underground, it would make it them harder to surveil.
• 26:34
  Speaker 11: But we may yet come to the point where banning
• 26:36
  Speaker 11: them is the best option because they are notorious in
• 26:40
  Speaker 11: their extremeist rhetoric and their desire to try and dial
• 26:43
  Speaker 11: into mainstream concerns like protests about what's happening in Gaza
• 26:47
  Speaker 11: to try and get attention, and that's potentially really destructive.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: And how concerning is it that there are preachers like
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: this particular one, who are reportedly regular speakers at events
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: in Australia for this group.
• 27:01
  Speaker 11: Well, it's concerning in itself, But I mean, the flip
• 27:03
  Speaker 11: side is that it's good that this is the exception
• 27:05
  Speaker 11: to the rule. Speakers like this his Potaria generally are
• 27:08
  Speaker 11: not welcome at mainstream moss and community centers, but it's
• 27:12
  Speaker 11: good to highlight the fact that this is occurring at
• 27:13
  Speaker 11: the moment because these guys, you know, perhaps they shouldn't
• 27:17
  Speaker 11: be banned. There's complex arguments about the benefits of banning them,
• 27:21
  Speaker 11: but they certainly shouldn't be given a free public space.
• 27:24
  Speaker 11: They certainly shouldn't be free to preach on campus and
• 27:28
  Speaker 11: to engage with serious issues like concerns about what's happening
• 27:31
  Speaker 11: and in Gaza. They're self serving. They're only bent on
• 27:36
  Speaker 11: trying to expand their own media profile, and we need
• 27:38
  Speaker 11: to be really cautious about the way we engage with them,
• 27:41
  Speaker 11: whilst recognizing that they're not popular. They aren't a large
• 27:44
  Speaker 11: group and that's why they're so desperate to get attention.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: Greg Barton, good to speak with you. Thank you so
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: much for joining us this evening.
• 27:52
  Speaker 11: A pleasure. Thanks very much, tinker Well.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: There is no doubt Wope ideology.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Has infiltrated our schools and preschools from children and being
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: told to say sorry to the stolen generation, to woke
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: gender curriculums. They are being indoctrinated and now a council
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: run childcare center in Sydney is teaching toddlers about Pride Month,
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: including celebrating LGBTI diversity, rainbow painting, art and dress ups
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: in gender equity. The North Mead red Bank Early Learning
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: Center operated by the Paramatic Council CATUS for babies from
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: six months old to preschoolers, and told parents it wanted
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: to be promoting inclusion and embracing diversity during this celebration.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Joining me now is Kevin Donnelley, Senior Research Fellow at
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: Australian Catholic University. Good to see you, Kevin, Thanks for
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: joining us. Look whatever happened to just letting kids be kids,
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: playing running around having fun. Now we've got babies aged
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: from six months being indoctrinated into this culture.
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: It's appalling, Denika. And as you know, I've written about
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: this a lot over the last eight or ten years.
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: I mean back say two years ago, I wrote a
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: lot about safe schools that was a gender fluidity program
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: that was going into primary and secondary. But even I'm shocked,
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: and I shouldn't be, by the way, because this is
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: the way they're operating now. The cultural left have now
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: taken that debate about gender ideology, about the lgbt QI
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: plus people. They're now indoctrinating toddlers. I mean, these children,
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: many of them don't know how to do their shoelaces.
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: They don't know how really to interact with other children.
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: It's what they're doing is destroying the innocence of childhood.
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: And as a parent, I'm appalled. As a teacher, I
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: think it's disgraceful.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: Well, it is disgraceful six months old. It's just ridiculous.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: And the scary part about this is that parents have
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: no say in what's being taught.
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: You're right again, And I mean I looked very closely
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: at the federal government, the Commonwealth government. They have a
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: web page about well being and wholeness and all of
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: this New Age progressive stuff, and there are resources there
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: that actually say, and I'm talking about schools now, that
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: teachers don't have to tell the parents if their child
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: wants to transition, if the child child wants to change
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: his or her name, parents don't have to be told.
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: So it's getting to a stage now where the government,
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: the state, through the Education Department, is really denying parents
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: the right they have over their children's identity, their way
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: their children are raised. But it's part of this cultural
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: left ideology, this woke ideology, which is about destroying the family.
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: Is most of us knew it. I mean, our children.
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: We read them Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Jack in the beanstalk.
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: But now they've taught all of this binary that you're heteronormative,
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: that you have to be fluid. Boys can be girls,
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: girls can be boys, and parents have to say enough
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: is enough.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: Well they say it, you know, parents do say it,
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: and it's just the education system says no, no, We've
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: got to, you know, be fair on everyone. It's the
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: tiptoe in culture that we constantly see. Kevin, Now I
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: want to ask you about a new report by the
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: Center for Independent Studies which has found that struggling with
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: maths is people who are struggling with maths and not
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: getting the help early enough, which is causing them to
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: fall further behind. Now we're talking about as many as
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: four hundred thousand or ten percent of students here. That
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: seems like a lot of students needing help.
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: Again, you're right, And there was another report in the
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: papers today in Victoria how the government has spent millions
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: of dollars over the last three or four years years
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: to give these children, whether it was numeracy or literacy,
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: to give them extra help. And the Order to General
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: found that the program hasn't worked. So we've spent all
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: this money, but the standards have not improved. And part
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: of the reason is in primary school a lot of
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: teachers for whatever reason are not confident to teach mathematics,
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: and that goes back to teacher training obviously, but also
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: in Australia we adopted what the Americans called buzzy mathematics,
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: so we moved away from memorizing times tables, doing mental arithmetic,
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: all the things you need to do to hardwire the brain,
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: if you like, as a young child. We had this creative,
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: holistic approach where teachers are facilitators, they don't actually structure
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: the lesson. And it doesn't surprise me that so many
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: young children from primary into secondary school behind the eight ball,
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: as it were, and their children who often find it
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: very difficult to catch up.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: It's concerning now elite private schools are exempting poorly performing
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: students from national napland tests in a bid to improve
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: their overall scores.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: What's happening here is that allowed It is.
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: Actually I mean, I looked at the Akara website again
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: today and nat plan is not compulsory. It never has been.
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: Parents if they like, can withdraw their children. Now, I
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: think that's a mistake. Every parent should want to know
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: if their child is doing well or not doing well,
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: and if they're not doing well, then the parent can
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: go up to the school talk to the teachers. Actually
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: do a lot of work at home as well. I
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: mean parents have a responsibility here to help their primary
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: children in particular. So it doesn't surprise me. But the
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: issue here is that parents need to take responsibility. And
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: also it's government and non government schools where this problem
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: is arising of not enough students setting the test. But
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: we have to understand that the Australian Education Union for
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: the last ten years has argued get rid of the test.
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: What they argue is you need more money, more teachers,
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: more resources, get rid of the testing, which is wrong
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: as well.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: It's extraordinary, Kevin Donnelly, we have to leave it there.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: Thanks so much for joining us this evening. On the show,
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: We'll stay with us. Coming up, Kamala Harris invites the
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: cast of reality TV show Queer Eye to the White House.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: Would you believe?
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: Plus, the ABC wants more of your money. A billion
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: dollars a year just isn't enough, it seems. We'll have
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: the details next.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: Welcome Back Well.
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: ABC chair Kim Williams has outlined his vision for a
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: dramatic renewal of the national broadcaster, Oh ANDT. He wants
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: more money on top of the one point one billion
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: dollars of our money it already gets each year. Now,
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: he says, he wants the public broadcaster to become a
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: sort of reimagined national campfire, a place where we all
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: come together to share our ideas, dreams, friendship and our
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: sense of common purpose to enable our country to face
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: much of the darkness beyond with confidence and strength.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: That for a quote.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: Joining me now is Sky Andy, his host James McPherson
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: at Hobart City.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: Councilor Louise Elliott. Hi to you both. Thank you so
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: much for joining us.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: James, it's a bit kumbaya almost around the campfire.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: It's very sweet.
• 35:39
  Speaker 13: I'm feeling so inspired hearing you say that. Of course,
• 35:42
  Speaker 13: the ABC is not a campfire, it's a dumpster fire.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: That's a big difference.
• 35:46
  Speaker 13: But I mean they already get one point one billion
• 35:48
  Speaker 13: dollars and now they want more money. The truth is, Deneka,
• 35:51
  Speaker 13: they could get ten billion dollars a year, but as
• 35:53
  Speaker 13: long as on the hour they remind us that their
• 35:56
  Speaker 13: Sydney broadcast is coming from Gadigal Country. It doesn't matter
• 35:59
  Speaker 13: how much money you give them, they'll keep losing audience.
• 36:02
  Speaker 13: Not because we don't love and respect Indigenous people, but
• 36:05
  Speaker 13: we're just sick of the division. And you know what,
• 36:08
  Speaker 13: you don't need more money to unite people. Objectivity doesn't
• 36:12
  Speaker 13: cost you any more money. They can do all those
• 36:14
  Speaker 13: things on their current budget. But I tell you who
• 36:17
  Speaker 13: will be excited about this is Peter Dutton because he's
• 36:20
  Speaker 13: just been reminded when he's looking for money to fund
• 36:22
  Speaker 13: nuclear reactors.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, there's a lazy.
• 36:25
  Speaker 13: One point one billion dollars in the ABC at the moment.
• 36:28
  Speaker 13: We could very easily remove that and our country would.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: Lose nothing, absolutely spot And you're right, it's about the
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: content that's been produced on the ABC. So Louise, you
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: know that the ABC bossy wants a campfire and more money.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: It's quite a combination.
• 36:43
  Speaker 14: I'd say yes, just like James, there's no way on
• 36:47
  Speaker 14: Earth I'd be comfortable with topping up the ABC coffers.
• 36:50
  Speaker 14: I mean, the chair has Kim Williams has spoken about
• 36:52
  Speaker 14: the importance of the ABC having its relevancy and irrelevancy.
• 36:58
  Speaker 14: Fundamental to that is in partial, impartiality and professionalism and
• 37:03
  Speaker 14: that doesn't cost anything. We're not seeing that for the
• 37:05
  Speaker 14: one point one billion we're currently investing, so there's no
• 37:08
  Speaker 14: way I'll be keen to pay for pay more and
• 37:10
  Speaker 14: see see more of the same. And there is absolutely
• 37:14
  Speaker 14: an issue here that needs to be addressing with seeing
• 37:16
  Speaker 14: it at the federal level and also hyper local down
• 37:19
  Speaker 14: into my local ABC radio. He's unfortunately renowned for bias
• 37:24
  Speaker 14: and if they don't want to cover a certain topic,
• 37:26
  Speaker 14: they'll just pretend that you doesn't exist, and there's silence
• 37:29
  Speaker 14: on it. So, like I said, it really comes down
• 37:33
  Speaker 14: to if you work for the ABC and you can't
• 37:35
  Speaker 14: bring the impartiality that taxpayer money requires.
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: Then you really need to get your own opinion show.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: And for the chair.
• 37:44
  Speaker 14: Are consequences for people who aren't able to provide the
• 37:47
  Speaker 14: truth and the objectivity and at impartiality, consequences and accountability
• 37:52
  Speaker 14: cost nothing.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Spot on absolutely Now.
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: Victoria Police is still investigating a spate of anti Semitic
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: attacks on electorate off throughout Melbourne. Of course, the most
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: recent the targeting of Jewish MP Josh Burns' office and
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: this is what we got from the Prime Minister today,
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: who took to x formerly known as Twitter, to say
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: I condemned the attack on the electorate office of Josh Burns.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: Those responsible should face the full force of the law.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: This is a serious attack. The targeting of a Jewish
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: MP is very distressing. James I note in that there's
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: no mention at all of anti Semitism, there's no condemnation
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: for calling it out for.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: What it is.
• 38:33
  Speaker 13: And Anthony Albernezian Adam Banter on a unity ticket here
• 38:36
  Speaker 13: because Adam Bant similarly put out a tweet today condemning
• 38:39
  Speaker 13: the quote unquote incident. I was just an incident. One
• 38:43
  Speaker 13: of our federal MPs has his office effectively firebomb and
• 38:48
  Speaker 13: it's an incident. There's been twelve federal and state electorate
• 38:52
  Speaker 13: officers now vandalized by pro Palestinian supporters, and the Prime
• 38:56
  Speaker 13: Minister offers nothing but commentary, which he seems to think
• 38:59
  Speaker 13: is his role. Well, he's actually the leader of the
• 39:01
  Speaker 13: country and so we need a little less commentary from
• 39:04
  Speaker 13: Anthony Alberanezi and a little more leadership. Why has this
• 39:07
  Speaker 13: not been deemed a terrorist attack? And I think it
• 39:09
  Speaker 13: was Our colleague Steve Price, who said it first. This
• 39:12
  Speaker 13: is clearly designed and this isn't just some vandalism on
• 39:14
  Speaker 13: a wall. They set his office on fire. So this
• 39:18
  Speaker 13: is a massive escalation. It's a federal MP, it's a
• 39:21
  Speaker 13: Jewish federal MP. It's a Jewish federal MP who's been
• 39:24
  Speaker 13: quite outspoken on behalf of Israel. So this is clearly
• 39:28
  Speaker 13: an attempt to intimidate Josh Burns into shutting up. This
• 39:32
  Speaker 13: is terrorism. It's got terrorism written all over it. It
• 39:35
  Speaker 13: should not be handled by local Victorian police. As if
• 39:38
  Speaker 13: local Victorian police have been able to handle anything for
• 39:41
  Speaker 13: the last three or four years. This should be referred
• 39:43
  Speaker 13: to federal police and whoever the culprits are should be
• 39:46
  Speaker 13: tracked down and treated like terrorists. What's the alternative that
• 39:50
  Speaker 13: we're left to provide our own security. I was thinking
• 39:53
  Speaker 13: about that statement and I thought, well, actually, that's exactly
• 39:55
  Speaker 13: what the Jewish community have to do. You copassed the
• 39:58
  Speaker 13: Jewish school and hey, Jewish synagogue, they've got their own
• 40:01
  Speaker 13: security out front.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: And now we know why.
• 40:03
  Speaker 13: Because the government, the police they can't be reliable to do.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: They've got no help.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: They're left to fend for themselves basically, and Louise we
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: are seeing more and more of these attacks. Why are
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: leaders like Albanesi just so weak. It's like they're scared
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: to say the word anti Semitism.
• 40:20
  Speaker 9: Yes, it's really traveling.
• 40:21
  Speaker 5: It's terrible.
• 40:22
  Speaker 14: And talk about too little, too late from the Prime minister.
• 40:25
  Speaker 14: I mean, this is what happens when people are left
• 40:28
  Speaker 14: with space to do this sort of thing.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: You see they're in Bolden.
• 40:31
  Speaker 14: You see the actions growing bigger and bigger and grand
• 40:34
  Speaker 14: grander and escalating. And this has all come about absolutely
• 40:38
  Speaker 14: due to the lack of leadership. As James said, I mean,
• 40:41
  Speaker 14: when there isn't condemnation, strong clear message that that is wrong,
• 40:46
  Speaker 14: we don't do this, that's not Australian values at all,
• 40:49
  Speaker 14: and actions and consequences, then their momentum grows and people
• 40:53
  Speaker 14: come even more and more brazen in their actions. So
• 40:58
  Speaker 14: I do feel for the Victorian police in this situation
• 41:00
  Speaker 14: because I guess their role isn't to lead the country.
• 41:03
  Speaker 14: They need to investigate the crimes. But this is where
• 41:05
  Speaker 14: the Prime Minister needs to step up. And truly do
• 41:08
  Speaker 14: think that the escalating behavior here squarely sits on the
• 41:13
  Speaker 14: Prime Minister's shoulders.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I absolutely agree.
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: Now Vice President Krmala Harris has received backlash after she
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: welcome founders and cast members of the show Queer Eye
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: to the White House.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: One of them is Jonathan van Ness's his name. He
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: stepped up to the podium during a visit and he
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: hosted his own mock press briefing.
• 41:34
  Speaker 15: Everyone to the way, Pas leads to answer some questions.
• 41:38
  Speaker 9: Go ahead, I'm ready, k oh.
• 41:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 41:41
  Speaker 9: Is it true that is all your natural hair? Yes,
• 41:43
  Speaker 9: they can confirm that this is not a wig.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: James, good to see. It's been a very busy day
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: at the White House. Carmala Harris and co. They're getting
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: down to business. I'm just jealous of his head.
• 41:53
  Speaker 13: But of course it's an interesting juxtaposition we have at
• 41:56
  Speaker 13: the moment in the White House. We've got the vice
• 41:59
  Speaker 13: president and celebrating a TV show that promoted homosexuality, and
• 42:03
  Speaker 13: that mock been ridiculed heterosexual men has been clueless and hopeless. Meanwhile,
• 42:08
  Speaker 13: you've got Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong un meeting in
• 42:12
  Speaker 13: North Korea, and I can guarantee you they're not talking
• 42:14
  Speaker 13: about Queer Eye for the straight guy.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: No, there's certainly not.
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: We're running out of time, but Louise, I just want
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: to quickly ask you you've had to win this week.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: Your own Hobart City Council has issued you with an apology.
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: It conceded that you were discriminated against after it blocked
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: you from booking a venue over your views on transgender policies.
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: Yes, that's right.
• 42:33
  Speaker 14: It's been a long time coming, but finally I've got
• 42:35
  Speaker 14: the council to admit to the lying and scheming and
• 42:38
  Speaker 14: gas lighting that went into blocking me from being able
• 42:42
  Speaker 14: to in my personal capacity holder women's rights and free
• 42:44
  Speaker 14: speech events. So in twenty twenty four, women's rights and
• 42:47
  Speaker 14: free speech is something that the Hobout City Council is
• 42:50
  Speaker 14: afraid of and goes to great.
• 42:51
  Speaker 9: Lengths to avoid.
• 42:53
  Speaker 14: But I'm hoping that exposing on what's happened here will
• 42:56
  Speaker 14: see some serious culture change because it has to. What
• 43:00
  Speaker 14: happened was highly moral and illegal.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, and all the power to you.
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: Good are well done on that win, Louise Elliot, James McPherson,
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: good to have you both on. Thank you so much
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: for joining us.
• 43:09
  Speaker 5: Well.
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: Coming up after the break, TV presenter Patrick Christie's joins
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: us with the latest UK election news and we'll get
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: his view on the desecration of Stonehenge by climate praises
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: don't go away.
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: Now Here is a way not to make a statement
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: about climate change. A bunch of climate boffins in the
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: UK have covered.
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: Stonehenge in orange paint.
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: Now, riddle me this.
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: These morons from Just Stop Oil want to make a
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: climate message, but have taken to Stonehenge with an aerosol
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: device and pumped orange powder paint.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: Into the air. Absolute idiots joining me?
• 43:58
  Speaker 5: Now?
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: Is gb News host Patrick Patrick good to speak with you?
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: This is disgraceful.
• 44:04
  Speaker 15: Yeah, it's absolutely disgraceful. It's nothing sacred anymore. The answer
• 44:09
  Speaker 15: would be no to those great unwashed cressings. Really, but
• 44:14
  Speaker 15: I mean it's backfired on them quite significantly. A lot
• 44:17
  Speaker 15: of people are saying, we've got a general election coming
• 44:19
  Speaker 15: up here and I'm willing to vote for any party
• 44:20
  Speaker 15: that would send them to a goolag. The other way
• 44:23
  Speaker 15: that it's backfired is that there are actually protected and
• 44:26
  Speaker 15: endangered species of leitchen and moss on those stones. They
• 44:30
  Speaker 15: are not just stones, and so they have believe it
• 44:32
  Speaker 15: or not, damage the environment. But they're on a bad
• 44:35
  Speaker 15: run of form at the moment. Just Stop Oil because
• 44:37
  Speaker 15: yesterday they thought they'd done a great thing by targeting
• 44:40
  Speaker 15: Taylor Swift's private jet, only for it to turn out
• 44:43
  Speaker 15: that that was not her private jet. So now there
• 44:46
  Speaker 15: is just a bright orange airplane somewhere at an airport
• 44:49
  Speaker 15: around the London area that has got nothing to do
• 44:51
  Speaker 15: with the person that they were targeting. It's almost like
• 44:54
  Speaker 15: maybe they should have spent a little bit more time
• 44:56
  Speaker 15: in school or in the workplace or educating themselves and
• 44:59
  Speaker 15: not just following Gretitsumberg's advice, which is sitting outside somewhere
• 45:03
  Speaker 15: and whipping up trouble with a big sign.
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: Absolutely go and get a job and stop being a
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: public nuisance.
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: Seriously. Now, look, let's turn to the general election.
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: Bad news for Reshi Sunak with a new poll predicting
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: that the Conservative Party is heading towards a wipeout.
• 45:22
  Speaker 15: Yeah indeed, I mean this is catastrophic. Okay, So general
• 45:25
  Speaker 15: election Knight could look for the Conservative Party like the
• 45:28
  Speaker 15: first ten minutes of saving Private Ryan, just a total
• 45:31
  Speaker 15: blood bath. Richie soon now looks as though he set
• 45:33
  Speaker 15: to lose his seat. He'd be the only Prime minister
• 45:35
  Speaker 15: in history to do that. He could be down to
• 45:38
  Speaker 15: fifty three MP's three quarters of his cabinet could go
• 45:42
  Speaker 15: as well. It will be the worst general election results
• 45:44
  Speaker 15: since the Conservative Party was formed. But there are some
• 45:46
  Speaker 15: quite interesting elements to this. So the Labor Party could
• 45:49
  Speaker 15: win a record majority. But here's the weird thing. When
• 45:52
  Speaker 15: you look at the popularity polls for their leader of
• 45:55
  Speaker 15: personal popularity, already fifty one percent of the public say
• 45:59
  Speaker 15: they don't like it.
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: So we could win one of the largest.
• 46:01
  Speaker 15: Majorities in history and immediately be one of the most
• 46:03
  Speaker 15: unpopular people.
• 46:05
  Speaker 9: Why is that?
• 46:05
  Speaker 15: Well, you know, look, let's be honest. When he starts
• 46:07
  Speaker 15: introducing votes for sixteen year olds, raising everybody's tax, making
• 46:10
  Speaker 15: an enemy of Israel, and there's constant strike action because
• 46:14
  Speaker 15: in the pockets of the unions, then we're going to
• 46:16
  Speaker 15: find out that maybe socialism isn't all its cracks up
• 46:18
  Speaker 15: to be. Meanwhile, Nigel Farrag is waiting in the wings.
• 46:21
  Speaker 15: He's set to win a few seats Forag's on the
• 46:24
  Speaker 15: charge as they say, And you know why is popular?
• 46:27
  Speaker 15: I mean this is rocket science, right, scrapnet zero, turn
• 46:30
  Speaker 15: the illegal votes back, lower I legal immigration and lower tax.
• 46:33
  Speaker 15: Who knew that that stuff might work at a general election?
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: Who knew.
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is simple, simple policies and clearly it
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: is resonating with people. Glad he put his head in
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: the ring, even if it was at the last minute.
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: But look, let's talk about that because the ongoing migrant crisis,
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: it's a huge problem over there.
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: But it's gone from bad to Worsetpatrick.
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: There has been a record seven hundred and fifty boats
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: small boats crossing in just one day.
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: Just he's out of control.
• 47:01
  Speaker 15: Yeah, this is an armada, Okay, it really is. And
• 47:05
  Speaker 15: what we are seeing is that the European Union, so
• 47:07
  Speaker 15: continental Europe voted to the right, they voted recently for
• 47:12
  Speaker 15: people who want to introduce tougher immigration policies, and so
• 47:15
  Speaker 15: what the human traffickers are doing is they're saying you
• 47:18
  Speaker 15: need to get out of Europe now. They are fast
• 47:21
  Speaker 15: tracking everybody through continental Europe and onto the beaches at Calais.
• 47:25
  Speaker 15: What have the French police done or they're just started
• 47:27
  Speaker 15: to be diverted away so they can prepare for the
• 47:29
  Speaker 15: Olympic Games in Paris, So nobody on the beaches. And
• 47:32
  Speaker 15: there was footage that emerge yesterday as well of the
• 47:34
  Speaker 15: French police officers who are there taking camera phone footage
• 47:37
  Speaker 15: as people just waving them off to Britain basically, and
• 47:40
  Speaker 15: then you have to factor that in with the fact
• 47:41
  Speaker 15: that the Labour Party have now said they will offer
• 47:43
  Speaker 15: a migrant amnesty and illegal margrant amnesty to ninety thousand
• 47:47
  Speaker 15: people we have on a waiting list and assigning processing
• 47:51
  Speaker 15: list there, so they're just going to allow them to
• 47:53
  Speaker 15: stay in Britain pretty much. So we now will be
• 47:56
  Speaker 15: a complete outlier to the rest of continental Europe. Essentially
• 48:00
  Speaker 15: we will be El Dorado for these people. The Channel
• 48:03
  Speaker 15: migrant gold rush is on and we just have to
• 48:06
  Speaker 15: deal with that.
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: Apparently, what ninety thousand, What an extraordinary figure and no
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: wonder people are unhappy. You can see again why Rishisunak
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: not doing well in the polls. Thank you so much
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: for joining us this evening, Patrick.
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: Christie is great to speak with you.
• 48:19
  Speaker 5: Thank you.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: Well, that's it from me. Thank you so much for
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: your company.
