- 0:00Speaker 1: Late Welcome to the Late Base, Good evening. I'm James
- 0:08Speaker 1: macpherson with Freilich and Nika di Giorgio. Coming up tonight,
- 0:12Speaker 1: a teeth whitening brand labeled as racist for an advertising
- 0:16Speaker 1: campaign that promises that will turn your teeth white. We'll
- 0:19Speaker 1: get to that a little later. Plus, when we look
- 0:22Speaker 1: at the papers, the number of assaults by students on
- 0:25Speaker 1: teachers in New South Wales has skyrocketed, and in North
- 0:29Speaker 1: Queensland healthcare workers regarded requiring armored vehicles just to get
- 0:34Speaker 1: to work. We'll get to all of that shortly, but first,
- 0:38Speaker 1: what do we want a quality? And when do we
- 0:40Speaker 1: want it tomorrow? I had to laugh today at ABC
- 0:44Speaker 1: host Patricia Cabellius when she rudely interrupted other journalists at
- 0:49Speaker 1: a press conference to complain she should be allowed to
- 0:52Speaker 1: ask the next question because well she's a woman.
- 0:58Speaker 2: What exactly good question? Do not feel like a lot
- 1:01Speaker 2: of blokes that have been asking questions be nice if
- 1:03Speaker 2: I asked the question, Trisha Carvellous, thank you very much.
- 1:05Speaker 2: I've just observed this. I'd actually like to ask you,
- 1:08Speaker 2: David little Proud, actually, if you don't my bridget I
- 1:10Speaker 2: last year a moment because I've been running get in
- 1:11Speaker 2: as you know in terms of the time frame.
- 1:15Speaker 1: And don't you love having demanded the right to ask
- 1:18Speaker 1: a question as a woman. She then told Bridget McKenzie
- 1:21Speaker 1: to move aside to the bloke. Good answer, So much
- 1:24Speaker 1: for the sisterhood. But what if Platricia Cavellis's claim that
- 1:29Speaker 1: you know a lot of blokes were asking questions rather
- 1:32Speaker 1: than women. Well, I'll let you be the judge.
- 1:36Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 1:37Speaker 2: See you're getting back together.
- 1:38Speaker 4: No, this all our time, the announcement of these portfolio allocations.
- 1:44Speaker 2: You can see that you've got the gums. Analyses like
- 1:47Speaker 2: nuclear are have got to go through the legal party
- 1:50Speaker 2: there under review, are about to be under review, the
- 1:53Speaker 2: subject to review. If it is a no, what then?
- 1:56Speaker 5: Why was this decision made with haste on choose one
- 2:01Speaker 5: and mackenzie?
- 2:01Speaker 1: As we can tw moments like this. I'm glad we've
- 2:05Speaker 1: got Danika to Georgio with us because she was a
- 2:07Speaker 1: hot shot reporter for many years. Danika, did you feel
- 2:10Speaker 1: like you never got a good opportunity to ask a
- 2:12Speaker 1: question because when you're a woman and all the blokes
- 2:15Speaker 1: were dominating, I mean.
- 2:16Speaker 2: Please seriously, Well, I would have forced my way into
- 2:18Speaker 2: it anyway, because that's the kind of person I am.
- 2:21Speaker 2: But I mean imagine being so up yourself and so
- 2:24Speaker 2: entitled that you feel the need to say, excuse me,
- 2:29Speaker 2: I'm a woman, please listen to me, Please step aside, blokes,
- 2:33Speaker 2: I'm actually I'm actually cringing of secondhand embarrassment, to be
- 2:36Speaker 2: quite frank a, Patricia carr vellis, because you're not actually
- 2:40Speaker 2: just bringing yourself into disrepute as a journalist that you
- 2:42Speaker 2: feel the need to say, I am demand to answer
- 2:46Speaker 2: to ask the next question, but you're actually representing a brand,
- 2:49Speaker 2: and therefore you're bringing the ABC into disrepute, which is
- 2:53Speaker 2: hilarious because the ABC of course prides itself on gender equality,
- 2:56Speaker 2: as we as we know. But what she's doing there
- 2:59Speaker 2: is clearly show her bias, because I would ask Patricia carrvellis,
- 3:03Speaker 2: would she go to a labor press conference and ask
- 3:05Speaker 2: the same thing. Would she go face to face with
- 3:08Speaker 2: Anthony Alberizi and demand that the Prime Minister asked get
- 3:12Speaker 2: her to ask the question ahead of a bunch of men.
- 3:15Speaker 2: I highly doubt that the gender card is actually so tiresome.
- 3:19Speaker 2: I don't know if you find that as well. Freyer,
- 3:21Speaker 2: but as a woman, to be to want to be
- 3:25Speaker 2: listened to just because you're a woman is utterly pathetic.
- 3:28Speaker 2: So well done, Patricia. You've embarrassed yourself again.
- 3:31Speaker 5: But that's exactly the thing. How did gender have any
- 3:34Speaker 5: role in this at all? And then the awkward moment
- 3:38Speaker 5: when she had to tell the one female politician in
- 3:42Speaker 5: the room to step aside so the bloke could answer
- 3:46Speaker 5: the question. It's honestly so embarrassing, and this is why
- 3:50Speaker 5: the ABC's viewership is declining. This is why the public
- 3:54Speaker 5: is losing trust in them. Their coverage around the Voice
- 3:57Speaker 5: was extremely biased. The majority of stories favored the yes case,
- 4:01Speaker 5: whereas just twenty percent favored the no case. This is
- 4:04Speaker 5: a consistent thing, and situations like this are emblematic of
- 4:08Speaker 5: the ideological rot and decay within the ABC.
- 4:13Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we displayed publicly that exact point. I've
- 4:16Speaker 1: got to be honest, I enjoyed that press conference because
- 4:18Speaker 1: I found it so amusing. I've watched that clip several
- 4:21Speaker 1: times now and every time it makes me smile, especially
- 4:24Speaker 1: as you said, having won the right to ask one
- 4:27Speaker 1: for the women. She then tells the woman move aside,
- 4:31Speaker 1: I want to talk to the man. You honestly could
- 4:33Speaker 1: not make that up.
- 4:34Speaker 2: No, But also we played that clip for the audience.
- 4:36Speaker 2: There were so many female reporters that actually got to
- 4:39Speaker 2: ask multiple questions. And you know what, and I would
- 4:41Speaker 2: know this as a formal reporter myself. Sometimes you rock
- 4:44Speaker 2: up to these press conferences and you might be the
- 4:47Speaker 2: only female reporter, or there might be only one male reporter.
- 4:51Speaker 2: It doesn't mean that I would say, no, excuse me,
- 4:53Speaker 2: can we just stop this press conference because the one
- 4:55Speaker 2: male reporter would like to ask his question as well.
- 4:58Speaker 2: It's just, honestly, it's time and embarrassing, and she's made
- 5:01Speaker 2: an absolute fool of herself. But look, let's move on.
- 5:05Speaker 2: Because the divorce between the Nats and the Liberal Party
- 5:09Speaker 2: has been put on hold. In fact, they are undergoing
- 5:12Speaker 2: marriage counseling. And look it's good news, thank goodness, that
- 5:15Speaker 2: they are coming together to try and sort this out.
- 5:18Speaker 2: They've announced that they will try and negotiate a pathway
- 5:21Speaker 2: forward to reunite the coalition. And it's a really good thing.
- 5:24Speaker 2: Otherwise we are going to be stuck with this Labor
- 5:27Speaker 2: Party for a very long time under a broken renewable system.
- 5:31Speaker 2: A trillion dollars in debt, were already going broken backwards
- 5:34Speaker 2: a big Australia, and I mean, gosh, that's only just
- 5:37Speaker 2: the beginning. But National's leader David little Proud said this
- 5:40Speaker 2: morning that he paused this split after receiving a surprise
- 5:44Speaker 2: phone call from Liberal leader Susan Lee.
- 5:47Speaker 4: I got a text out of blue early this morning
- 5:51Speaker 4: from Susan to come around to her office and have
- 5:53Speaker 4: a conversation. And I went and had a conversation with her,
- 5:56Speaker 4: and she made it clear that she would pause announcing
- 6:00Speaker 4: a shadow cabinet. What she would do is call a
- 6:04Speaker 4: party room meeting of the Liberal Party to discuss those
- 6:07Speaker 4: four policy areas that she couldn't give us a guarantee
- 6:11Speaker 4: on what. Susan Lee made a decision to change that around.
- 6:15Speaker 4: And while I accepted that, I just want to ask
- 6:17Speaker 4: for those four to remain now.
- 6:19Speaker 2: Of course, the main four of those topics is nuclear
- 6:22Speaker 2: energy policy seems to be what is dividing and causing
- 6:26Speaker 2: this split right now. And I've been saying this for
- 6:29Speaker 2: the last week and I maintained this that Susan Lee
- 6:31Speaker 2: should have accepted those four options. They she should have
- 6:34Speaker 2: accepted it from the beginning, particularly nuclear policy, given that
- 6:37Speaker 2: she actually backed nuclear policy under Peter Dutton when she
- 6:40Speaker 2: was the Deputy Liberal Leader. But here's where it gets
- 6:44Speaker 2: a little bit more complicated now because now there has
- 6:46Speaker 2: been a leaked letter which was sent from Senator Bridget
- 6:50Speaker 2: mackenzie National Senator Bridget Mackenzie to MICHAYLEEA. Cash and it
- 6:55Speaker 2: actually reveals that the coalition split was sparked by internal
- 6:59Speaker 2: tension over center Nampa Jimper Prices defection to the Liberals. Now,
- 7:03Speaker 2: the letter was sent to Michaleea Cash eight days before
- 7:06Speaker 2: that breakup, and I'll read you a part of what
- 7:09Speaker 2: it said. It said it is understood Senator Nampajym for
- 7:11Speaker 2: prices defection to sit in the Liberal Party room is
- 7:14Speaker 2: associated with the overtures from the Liberal Party and an
- 7:17Speaker 2: intention to stand for a leadership position in the parliamentary
- 7:20Speaker 2: Liberal Party. As a result of her defection, together with
- 7:23Speaker 2: a severe drop in Liberal Party vote in New South
- 7:26Speaker 2: Wales from one July twenty twenty five, the Nationals will
- 7:29Speaker 2: only hold four seats in the Senate. Losing party status
- 7:32Speaker 2: in the Senate would have significant implications for the National
- 7:35Speaker 2: Senate team as well as the wider coalition. Now, I
- 7:39Speaker 2: mean it's hardly surprising. And unfortunately for Senator Nampajim for Price,
- 7:42Speaker 2: of course, she didn't get a leadership position after that
- 7:45Speaker 2: leadership vote a few days ago. But gee, the fact
- 7:49Speaker 2: that they're now leaking against each other, this is a disaster.
- 7:53Speaker 2: They have to come back to the table on this,
- 7:55Speaker 2: and they've got to come back pretty quickly to put
- 7:57Speaker 2: trust back into the Australian public because obviously there's a
- 8:00Speaker 2: lot of voters are out there that are very disgruntled
- 8:03Speaker 2: with the coalition at the moment. And then their policies
- 8:05Speaker 2: were at home, particularly in the last few weeks of
- 8:07Speaker 2: the election campaign, it really was policy on the run.
- 8:10Speaker 2: And now again, what exactly do they stand for? I
- 8:13Speaker 2: think the Nats seem to have a clear policy way forward.
- 8:16Speaker 2: The Liberals are still in limbo discussing it. But they've
- 8:19Speaker 2: got to come together pretty quick. And the coalition, of course,
- 8:22Speaker 2: of the so called Conservatives freyer, but they've lost their
- 8:26Speaker 2: way and the future of Conservative politics, in my view,
- 8:30Speaker 2: really depends on the coalition actually sorting themselves out.
- 8:33Speaker 5: No one is winning from this divorce. No one is
- 8:36Speaker 5: winning from this breakup. It is not beneficial to anyone.
- 8:40Speaker 5: I think it's putting David Little Prown in a really
- 8:43Speaker 5: difficult position because there was also another interesting development in
- 8:47Speaker 5: the story where last night Bridget mackenzie on the ABC
- 8:51Speaker 5: said that the rewriting the party rules to essentially remove
- 8:55Speaker 5: shadow cabinet solidarity was not a sticking point in the
- 8:59Speaker 5: co being unable to come to an agreement. But then
- 9:03Speaker 5: this morning David Little Proud appeared to backtrack those comments
- 9:08Speaker 5: and said that it was something that was discussed with Susan,
- 9:12Speaker 5: which is what she's been saying the whole time, and
- 9:15Speaker 5: why I thought we should give her the benefit of
- 9:17Speaker 5: the doubt because breaking shadow ministerial solidarity would be chaotic
- 9:22Speaker 5: and never work. So now I think David Little Proud
- 9:26Speaker 5: is in a really tough position where all of a sudden,
- 9:29Speaker 5: his back benches and shadows are turning around and saying,
- 9:32Speaker 5: were you actually telling us the whole truth throughout these negotiations.
- 9:36Speaker 5: But then it's also not great for Susan because if
- 9:39Speaker 5: she can't unite the coalition then it's all over. So
- 9:42Speaker 5: really it's a recipe for disaster. Get back together, guys,
- 9:45Speaker 5: and let's move on.
- 9:46Speaker 1: I'm so confused, so David said, and then Susan said, yeah,
- 9:49Speaker 1: Bridget got involved, and then there was an interview on
- 9:52Speaker 1: the ABC with Sarah Ferguson, and then Susan said to
- 9:54Speaker 1: them that the producers that married at First Sight dream
- 9:58Speaker 1: of a strip like this. And for all the damage
- 10:02Speaker 1: that the liberals have done with their idea that you know,
- 10:05Speaker 1: everything's on the table, we don't know what we believe
- 10:07Speaker 1: at the moment, for all of that, it's worse now
- 10:10Speaker 1: because they just look like an absolute rabble. If you're
- 10:13Speaker 1: going to have a breakdown, at least do it privately.
- 10:16Speaker 1: But going on television every five minutes to update the
- 10:19Speaker 1: reporters on well, you know, Susan and I haven't spoken. Oh,
- 10:22Speaker 1: actually I've got a text from Susan earlier today. I mean, honestly,
- 10:25Speaker 1: it's like Facebook, where people go on and tell all
- 10:27Speaker 1: their relationship dramas and everybody has their two cents worth.
- 10:31Speaker 1: It's just embarrassing. And they'll come back together, of course
- 10:35Speaker 1: they will, they have to, But the damage they do
- 10:38Speaker 1: to their own credibility with this public squad sought your
- 10:42Speaker 1: relationship differences out in private.
- 10:44Speaker 2: Well, it's making you know, and I hate to say
- 10:46Speaker 2: this is actually making Anthony ARBENEZI look really good at
- 10:49Speaker 2: the moment, No wonder he's out there. Every press opportunity
- 10:51Speaker 2: he's had in the last week, the man is smiling.
- 10:54Speaker 2: The man is absolutely beaming. Of course he is, because
- 10:56Speaker 2: he has a united Party and he is not dealing
- 10:59Speaker 2: with all sorts of nonsense. It's like high school rubbish.
- 11:02Speaker 2: And the fact that they're leaking against each other now
- 11:05Speaker 2: as well.
- 11:06Speaker 1: Right before we went on air, Paul Murray, just before
- 11:09Speaker 1: we came on, he said, Hey, have a look at
- 11:10Speaker 1: the Sidney Morning Herald tomorrow. They've got an article that's
- 11:12Speaker 1: headlined how the ABC became a surprise mediator in the
- 11:16Speaker 1: coalition's separation and so now the ABC acclaiming credit for
- 11:20Speaker 1: you know, well, they've had different people on televisions telling
- 11:24Speaker 1: their side of the story, and that way they're communicating
- 11:26Speaker 1: via the media, that's the worst thing you can do.
- 11:28Speaker 2: Maybe it was Patricia carve Ellish, Maybe it was Carvellis
- 11:32Speaker 2: she got to ask a question, it was her mediation.
- 11:34Speaker 5: Perhaps, well, whoever it was, this whole situation is just
- 11:38Speaker 5: so embarrassing for everyone involved.
- 11:40Speaker 6: Please, guys, let's fix this and move on.
- 11:43Speaker 5: Let's also move on to America now, where there have
- 11:46Speaker 5: been some really interesting meetings happening in the White House.
- 11:51Speaker 5: You might remember a couple of months ago Trump confronted
- 11:54Speaker 5: Zelenski in the whole world was in shock. Well he's
- 11:57Speaker 5: done it again, this time with the President of South Africa,
- 12:02Speaker 5: Cyril Ramaposa, and he confronted him over the violence being
- 12:06Speaker 5: inflicted on white farmers in his country. Now, I want
- 12:10Speaker 5: to show you a clip of what Trump showed the
- 12:14Speaker 5: president in the White House. He asked one of his
- 12:17Speaker 5: staffers to dim the lights, turned on a TV and.
- 12:21Speaker 6: This is what he confronted the president with.
- 12:25Speaker 2: Turn the lights down.
- 12:27Speaker 3: Turn the lights down.
- 12:35Speaker 1: This film a montage of rallies held by the Communist
- 12:40Speaker 1: Opposition Party chanting for the deaths of white farmers.
- 12:46Speaker 5: It's pretty disturbing that the eff the Economic Freedom Fighters.
- 12:50Speaker 5: They are one of the major parties in South Africa
- 12:53Speaker 5: and they openly call for the killing of white South
- 12:58Speaker 5: Africans bors or africaan. Now Trump has granted refugee visas
- 13:03Speaker 5: to white farmers so they can escape this violence. But
- 13:07Speaker 5: when Cyril Ramaposa was talking about those who have fled
- 13:12Speaker 5: the violence against white South Africans, he laughed and joked
- 13:16Speaker 5: about them being cowards.
- 13:19Speaker 7: None of us ever having to want to run away
- 13:24Speaker 7: to another country for fictional reasons that we are being persecuted.
- 13:31Speaker 7: We are united in diversity, and none of us should
- 13:37Speaker 7: ever feel that they have lost courage, that they've now
- 13:41Speaker 7: become cowards and want to run. Once play once said Africanas.
- 13:51Speaker 5: Now he might say they're cowards, but listen to what
- 13:55Speaker 5: the head of the EFF is chanting in a stadium
- 14:00Speaker 5: with around one hundred thousand people all going along with it.
- 14:16Speaker 5: Now he's chanting, there kill the farmer. I don't think
- 14:21Speaker 5: that you're a coward if you want to escape a
- 14:24Speaker 5: country where a major political leader is calling for your death.
- 14:29Speaker 5: But to make this whole situation worse. While Cyril Ramaposa
- 14:33Speaker 5: is downplaying this as misinformation, he actually is a supporter
- 14:38Speaker 5: of the EFF because the leader of this political party,
- 14:42Speaker 5: Julius Malemma, used to be in the ANC, and back
- 14:47Speaker 5: in twenty eighteen, Ramaposa said this. He said he would
- 14:52Speaker 5: love to welcome Malemma back into the ANC.
- 14:56Speaker 6: He is still ANC deep down.
- 14:59Speaker 5: In his heart, so he cannot claim he has no
- 15:04Speaker 5: idea what's going on. He cannot claim this is not serious.
- 15:08Speaker 5: This is a direct threat to white farmers, but honestly
- 15:12Speaker 5: to everyone, because crime in South Africa under this corrupt
- 15:16Speaker 5: and useless government is going crazy. It's so so disturbing, guys.
- 15:21Speaker 5: And to see this playdown and ignored by the left
- 15:24Speaker 5: wing media, I think is shocking.
- 15:26Speaker 1: Trump is a very I mean it goes without saying
- 15:29Speaker 1: he's a very unique world leader. But his willingness to
- 15:33Speaker 1: just call out other world leaders when they visit him
- 15:36Speaker 1: in the Oval Office must have people like Anthony Albanezi,
- 15:39Speaker 1: for example, shaking in their boots. Do you really want
- 15:42Speaker 1: to go to visit Trump because he'll just call things out.
- 15:45Speaker 1: This is a man who they tried to jail, they
- 15:48Speaker 1: tried to bankrupt him, they tried to shoot him. He's
- 15:51Speaker 1: got nothing to protect because he's almost lost everything anyway,
- 15:56Speaker 1: and so he's just calling people out, and good on him.
- 16:00Speaker 1: What's amazing is when Trump calls out what is blatant
- 16:03Speaker 1: racism in South Africa. And I've been to South Africa
- 16:06Speaker 1: many times. I love the country, love the people, but boy,
- 16:10Speaker 1: white people really do live in fear of their lives
- 16:12Speaker 1: in many parts of the country. Trump calls that out
- 16:16Speaker 1: and all he gets is criticism. Have I listened to
- 16:18Speaker 1: this NBC journalist too. Right after those very confronting videos
- 16:23Speaker 1: that Freyer just showed us, immediately the lights go up again.
- 16:27Speaker 1: You'd think journalists would ask questions, what's really going on
- 16:31Speaker 1: in South Africa? Is this really happening? Is this true?
- 16:34Speaker 1: South African President? What do you have to say? But
- 16:37Speaker 1: instead this was the first question that was asked.
- 16:41Speaker 8: Okay announced it would be sadly Victorian jabs be used
- 16:46Speaker 8: as era or.
- 16:47Speaker 3: What are you talking about it?
- 16:52Speaker 1: You know, you to get out of here.
- 16:55Speaker 3: What does this have to do with the guitar jet
- 16:57Speaker 3: they're giving the United States for us, said jet? Okay,
- 17:00Speaker 3: and it's a great thing. We're talking about a lot
- 17:03Speaker 3: of other things. It's NBC trying to get off the
- 17:06Speaker 3: subject of what you just saw.
- 17:07Speaker 2: You are a real you know, you're a terrible.
- 17:09Speaker 1: Reports fair enough. Now, Trump talked about a genocide of
- 17:15Speaker 1: white farmers. People now quibbling over, well, what's the definition
- 17:18Speaker 1: of a genocide, which raises the question how many white
- 17:21Speaker 1: farmers would you like to die before we can call
- 17:24Speaker 1: it a serious issue. Trump made some other comments which
- 17:27Speaker 1: may or may not have been exactly factually correct. The
- 17:31Speaker 1: point is, however, that the South African government started with
- 17:34Speaker 1: a policy where they would encourage white farmers to sell
- 17:38Speaker 1: their properties to black farmers. Then when white farmers were
- 17:42Speaker 1: reluctant to do that, the South African government passed a
- 17:45Speaker 1: law saying that they would have the power to simply
- 17:47Speaker 1: take land off white farmers and reallocate it without any compensation.
- 17:53Speaker 1: Those questions are worth being asked, and the fact that
- 17:56Speaker 1: so many criticized Trump for bringing up this topic is very,
- 18:00Speaker 1: very revealing.
- 18:01Speaker 2: I was really surprised by the left wing media's response
- 18:03Speaker 2: to this. Everyone's saying how rude Donald Trump is, how
- 18:06Speaker 2: dare he bring it up? That he's a terrible leader. Hey,
- 18:10Speaker 2: this is a man who is actually willing and open
- 18:13Speaker 2: to speak about something without fear or favor, while many
- 18:16Speaker 2: world leaders actually hide behind the topic. They don't want
- 18:19Speaker 2: to bring it up, they're not interested. I honestly think
- 18:21Speaker 2: this is one of the most incredible moments in political history,
- 18:24Speaker 2: and Donald Trump really is the leader of our times.
- 18:27Speaker 2: And good on him for having the guts and courage
- 18:29Speaker 2: to look Rabbit Posa in the eyes and ask him
- 18:32Speaker 2: what on earth is going on? Because he's actually gotten
- 18:35Speaker 2: away with it for so long. He's not speaking up
- 18:37Speaker 2: about it over in South Africa, and how refreshing to
- 18:40Speaker 2: have a world leader who's not scared. It's interesting that
- 18:43Speaker 2: video that he played him actually went for five minutes.
- 18:46Speaker 2: Can you imagine the tension in that press briefing room
- 18:50Speaker 2: while everyone would have just sat there in shock as
- 18:53Speaker 2: the lights were dimmed and Donald Trump played that video
- 18:56Speaker 2: that went for five minutes. I mean, I can only
- 18:58Speaker 2: imagine what Rabbi Posa was was thinking. White farmers. The
- 19:02Speaker 2: reality is is, as we've been saying, white farmers are
- 19:05Speaker 2: actually being killed in such barbaric ways. And the problem
- 19:09Speaker 2: is it's a racist taboo topic, which it just it
- 19:11Speaker 2: absolutely shouldn't be. I mean, people are so scared for
- 19:14Speaker 2: their lives over there, and the mainstream media even over
- 19:18Speaker 2: there is largely covering it up as well that they
- 19:20Speaker 2: don't want to talk about it. I do wonder, though,
- 19:22Speaker 2: will world leaders be skeptical, as you said, James, to
- 19:26Speaker 2: go to the White House to want to this is
- 19:27Speaker 2: the second dressing down. But good on Donald Trump. I
- 19:30Speaker 2: mean he gave it to Zelenski. Whether or not people
- 19:33Speaker 2: agree with that or not, in the end, he was
- 19:36Speaker 2: willing to say no, enough is enough. You're not putting
- 19:38Speaker 2: an end to the Ukraine War. We need a pullback.
- 19:40Speaker 2: We can't keep giving you military aid when this war
- 19:43Speaker 2: experts say that it's simply unwinnable. And now he's taking
- 19:47Speaker 2: on rubber Posa. So you know what, good on him.
- 19:50Speaker 2: Is not afraid of confrontation.
- 19:51Speaker 1: You know the other thing about that press conference is
- 19:54Speaker 1: that when Trump confronted Ramoposa, Remoposa's response was, well, it's
- 19:58Speaker 1: not just white to the getting lots of blacks are
- 20:00Speaker 1: being killed as well. Imagine being the leader of a
- 20:03Speaker 1: country and your defense is well, it's not just whites.
- 20:06Speaker 1: Blacks are being killed as well. Everybody's being killed. That's
- 20:09Speaker 1: the best he could do. Absolute shambles the ANC in
- 20:13Speaker 1: South Africa. Trump wasn't only calling out the murders of
- 20:19Speaker 1: white farmers in South Africa today. He was also calling
- 20:23Speaker 1: out an automobile feature that causes you and I I'm
- 20:26Speaker 1: sure you at home will be frustrated as I am
- 20:29Speaker 1: with this feature. You know, the on off start stop
- 20:33Speaker 1: button on your car that you come up to a
- 20:35Speaker 1: set of lights or you stop in traffic and the
- 20:38Speaker 1: engine automatically shuts down and then it only restarts when
- 20:41Speaker 1: you put your foot on the accelerator. It's one of
- 20:43Speaker 1: the most frustrating parts of modern motor vehicles. Will Trump
- 20:47Speaker 1: has promised to get rid of it. The US Environmental
- 20:50Speaker 1: Protection Agency boss Lee Zelden put out a tweet today saying,
- 20:56Speaker 1: start stop technology where your car dies at every red light.
- 21:00Speaker 1: Company's got a climate participation trophy. EPA approved it, and
- 21:03Speaker 1: everyone hates it, So we're fixing it. He is what
- 21:06Speaker 1: he had to say today.
- 21:08Speaker 9: EPA a little over a dozen years ago, about thirteen
- 21:11Speaker 9: years ago, approved an off cycle credit for this feature,
- 21:17Speaker 9: and a lot of Americans over the course of the
- 21:20Speaker 9: last dozen years have grown in frustration as they've had
- 21:25Speaker 9: this experience where you're going to a red light and
- 21:29Speaker 9: your car is stopping. Maybe if it saves a little
- 21:31Speaker 9: bit and gas.
- 21:32Speaker 2: What is it doing to my starter?
- 21:34Speaker 1: Was it doing to my engine?
- 21:36Speaker 9: Is is it safe?
- 21:39Speaker 1: I don't know how many times I've been at lights
- 21:41Speaker 1: and that feature has kicked in and I want to
- 21:43Speaker 1: get away quickly and realize the engines turned itself off.
- 21:47Speaker 1: Start it all over again. Many of the claims have
- 21:49Speaker 1: been revealed to be quite bogus regarding the emissions reductions
- 21:53Speaker 1: that are achieved by this feature of the Australian Automobile
- 21:56Speaker 1: Association did a federal government funded study not long ago
- 22:01Speaker 1: and found eight out of twenty one cars that they
- 22:04Speaker 1: tested recorded fuel consumption that was eight to thirty one
- 22:08Speaker 1: percent higher than had been advertised, and emissions were similarly
- 22:14Speaker 1: way out of kilter from what was achieved in the
- 22:18Speaker 1: laboratory and then achieved in real driving experience. Beyond that,
- 22:24Speaker 1: I think it's quite unsafe sometimes, and car manufacturers are
- 22:28Speaker 1: using this to somehow claim that their cars are green,
- 22:33Speaker 1: that they achieved better emissions outputs, and clearly it's a
- 22:37Speaker 1: wrought that drivers hate. It's not achieving very much. The
- 22:40Speaker 1: juries out on whether it makes much difference, get rid
- 22:42Speaker 1: of it.
- 22:43Speaker 6: Well, I understand it.
- 22:44Speaker 5: If you're sitting in New York City traffic for twenty
- 22:48Speaker 5: minutes at a standstill, then yeah, it makes sense to
- 22:51Speaker 5: have your engine turned off. But the reality is for
- 22:54Speaker 5: most of us driving on suburban roads, we're just not
- 22:58Speaker 5: sitting idly for long enough to actually justify the entire
- 23:02Speaker 5: engine turning off and then the entire engine turning on.
- 23:06Speaker 5: And there are also extra parts you need to have
- 23:09Speaker 5: this function in cast, so when you calculate the extra
- 23:12Speaker 5: cost from producing those parts, the emissions from those parts,
- 23:15Speaker 5: the maintenance, everything. I really don't see how this stacks
- 23:19Speaker 5: up for the vast majority of people.
- 23:22Speaker 2: No, it's just a real gold sticker for the eco
- 23:25Speaker 2: zell At warriors. Really. It was interesting because this feature,
- 23:29Speaker 2: this on off feature, was introduced by the Obama administration,
- 23:33Speaker 2: So I mean, say no more. I'm sure that Donald
- 23:34Speaker 2: Trump is probably going, yes, I'm finally I'm getting rid
- 23:38Speaker 2: of it. But of course then these sorts of vehicles
- 23:40Speaker 2: then spread to Europe and also back here in Australia.
- 23:45Speaker 2: But at the time of introducing the feature, which was
- 23:48Speaker 2: actually incentivized in the form of tax credits over there
- 23:51Speaker 2: in the United States, it was claimed that the move
- 23:52Speaker 2: would cut fuel use and costs and emissions. However, as
- 23:56Speaker 2: you pointed out, James, and it's actually been shown in
- 23:58Speaker 2: the US data on whether it actually achieves that are
- 24:00Speaker 2: not is rather inconclusive. So goodness beed knows why bother
- 24:04Speaker 2: with it. But I just think there is nothing worse
- 24:06Speaker 2: than when you are at the lights and you're waiting
- 24:09Speaker 2: to go and you can't accelerate properly. And this is
- 24:11Speaker 2: a problem with these eco vehicles. I mean, it's not
- 24:13Speaker 2: just that sort of a vehicle. When you're in a tesla,
- 24:16Speaker 2: you've got to sit there and you've got to wait
- 24:17Speaker 2: for the thing to charge up. It just seems so
- 24:20Speaker 2: counterintuitive and it just completely wastes so much time. So again,
- 24:24Speaker 2: well done. Donald Trump is taking on absolutely everything that
- 24:28Speaker 2: he possibly can and now going after these sorts of cars.
- 24:31Speaker 1: Should the lights rev the engine, I'm not want to move.
- 24:33Speaker 2: I want to go. I want to go quicker. So
- 24:35Speaker 2: now look, speaking of over in the United States, we
- 24:39Speaker 2: know that Donald Trump's been very swift when it comes
- 24:41Speaker 2: to gender ideology, male and female, but also saying that
- 24:45Speaker 2: if you are a biological male, then you cannot compete
- 24:49Speaker 2: in women's sports. However, there's been a bit of an
- 24:52Speaker 2: issue on a high school track meet in southern California
- 24:56Speaker 2: where a biological male competing in a jump competition actually
- 25:02Speaker 2: won it, meaning that a biological female and everybody else
- 25:06Speaker 2: who is a female was coming second, third, fourth, and fifth. Now,
- 25:11Speaker 2: this woman has spoken out about it. The woman who
- 25:14Speaker 2: came second, her name is Katie McGinnis, and she's spoken
- 25:17Speaker 2: about how tough it was for her because really, what
- 25:21Speaker 2: could she do when she was going up against a man.
- 25:23Speaker 2: This is what she said.
- 25:26Speaker 8: I tried to keep my focus last Saturday and kind
- 25:30Speaker 8: of treat it like any other normal meat. However, on
- 25:33Speaker 8: my third jump, I watched Abe do their jump and
- 25:38Speaker 8: the numbers on the screen lit up to eighteen feet
- 25:41Speaker 8: two inches, which was the furthest mark of that day.
- 25:44Speaker 8: I ran down the runway and I landed, and I
- 25:48Speaker 8: watched the measure of my mark and it was eighteen
- 25:50Speaker 8: nine and I just remember thinking that there was nothing
- 25:54Speaker 8: else that I could do, that that was it. And
- 25:56Speaker 8: you know, I'm a high school senior, and you know,
- 26:00Speaker 8: winning CIF has always been a goal of mine, and
- 26:05Speaker 8: I wasn't able to compete with someone who is genetically
- 26:09Speaker 8: different than me.
- 26:11Speaker 2: Yeah, you feel for a once again, a biological male
- 26:14Speaker 2: is being protected by woke gender ideology, and a biological
- 26:18Speaker 2: male takes pleasure from crushing the dreams and hopes as
- 26:21Speaker 2: we've just heard there from a female who has been
- 26:24Speaker 2: training and trying their whole lives. Now you can see
- 26:27Speaker 2: here on the podium in the middle there is the
- 26:30Speaker 2: trans the biological male, and then second and third place
- 26:34Speaker 2: obviously the women of the competition. Now look what it
- 26:37Speaker 2: says here, and look we've seen this around the world.
- 26:39Speaker 2: We saw it, of course in the Olympic Games, when
- 26:40Speaker 2: a biological male with x Y chromosomes one in the
- 26:44Speaker 2: female boxing. It says that men's feelings are more important
- 26:47Speaker 2: than women's safety. It says that men's feelings are more
- 26:49Speaker 2: important than a woman's right to a fair and even game.
- 26:52Speaker 2: But the question is, and this is the hardest question
- 26:55Speaker 2: of our time, of course, what is a woman? That's
- 26:57Speaker 2: the problem. And once upon a time it was just
- 26:59Speaker 2: so easy to answer. But now suddenly, years after years
- 27:02Speaker 2: and years of warped ideology, if you're born with male genitals,
- 27:06Speaker 2: well suddenly then you're a woman. But what's really disturbing
- 27:09Speaker 2: is that it is protected and defended by these sporting
- 27:13Speaker 2: institutions where they don't seem to actually care about young girls.
- 27:16Speaker 2: They don't care about women because men do not belong
- 27:19Speaker 2: in women's sports. Yet the more that they are protected
- 27:22Speaker 2: by the misogynistic sporting left, than every single time these
- 27:26Speaker 2: men will always claim victory over women.
- 27:28Speaker 1: Well, it's good to see some female competitors speaking out
- 27:32Speaker 1: against it, because for so long female competitors have been
- 27:35Speaker 1: afraid to say anything less they be ostracized by their
- 27:39Speaker 1: sporting association. We heard from Katie McGinnis there, but reyes Hogan,
- 27:43Speaker 1: who finished second in the triple jump to the transgendered
- 27:46Speaker 1: athlete jumped up on the podium and got photos standing
- 27:51Speaker 1: on the winner's position just to prove the point that
- 27:55Speaker 1: she should have been there. Then of course had to
- 27:58Speaker 1: be relegated to second up. Trump made a proclamation when
- 28:02Speaker 1: he came to the presidency that the federal government would
- 28:06Speaker 1: no longer allow transgendered athletes in women's sports, But of
- 28:10Speaker 1: course the Californian law is different, and the Athletics Association
- 28:15Speaker 1: said they will defy the Trump order, so this now
- 28:19Speaker 1: well may end up in the courts. Gavin Newsom, the
- 28:22Speaker 1: Californian governor, he has said that we must protect girls' sports,
- 28:26Speaker 1: but done nothing to change the Californian law. So this
- 28:30Speaker 1: is something that will play out over the next few years,
- 28:32Speaker 1: I'm sure.
- 28:33Speaker 5: And I read that the Athletics Federation that organized this
- 28:37Speaker 5: competition where a biological male was allowed to beat their
- 28:41Speaker 5: female competitors, is already under investigation under Title nine, which
- 28:47Speaker 5: is the protecting men's and women's spaces as separate, equal opportunity,
- 28:53Speaker 5: and so they are already under investigation. But this is
- 28:55Speaker 5: what we have seen throughout the Trump presidency a lot
- 28:59Speaker 5: of Democrats states where the left has really captured these institutions.
- 29:05Speaker 5: They don't want to follow the federal law, and they
- 29:09Speaker 5: will do basically anything they can to flout it, including
- 29:14Speaker 5: put girls in the firing line and sacrifice girls safety
- 29:19Speaker 5: and success. And I feel particularly bad for this girl, Katie,
- 29:23Speaker 5: because she's in her senior year, so last year in school.
- 29:27Speaker 5: This was going to be the pinnacle of her athletic achievement,
- 29:31Speaker 5: winning this competition, and yet the adults in charge in
- 29:36Speaker 5: the room have not acted like adults. They have not
- 29:39Speaker 5: protected her right to compete fairly. I think that is
- 29:43Speaker 5: just outrageous. But let's move on to another really shocking
- 29:47Speaker 5: case as well. A ninety three year old was assaulted
- 29:52Speaker 5: by police officers and died in hospital twenty two days
- 29:56Speaker 5: later after contracting COVID.
- 29:59Speaker 6: Now I should on you.
- 30:00Speaker 5: This footage we're going to show you is quite distressing.
- 30:04Speaker 2: We don't hurt you, don't be silly.
- 30:07Speaker 10: Put on the floor, police.
- 30:09Speaker 2: Officer with the taser. Put it down, Just throw on floor.
- 30:15Speaker 4: Just pop it down for me on the blow.
- 30:18Speaker 10: Pop it on the floor.
- 30:20Speaker 8: Put it down, don't old, put it down.
- 30:22Speaker 2: Seriously, I'll get it.
- 30:26Speaker 11: Good on.
- 30:27Speaker 10: Put it down, yeah, don't hold down, put it down.
- 30:40Speaker 2: Taser.
- 30:45Speaker 6: It's absolutely outrageous.
- 30:47Speaker 5: It's a ninety three year old man sitting down in
- 30:51Speaker 5: a chair with a kitchen knife, and they pepper spray
- 30:57Speaker 5: him and then they taser him. I honestly, I don't
- 31:01Speaker 5: understand why they couldn't just walk up to the man
- 31:05Speaker 5: and grab the knife.
- 31:06Speaker 6: Surely these are police officers.
- 31:08Speaker 5: Aren't they trained to disarm people in the street who
- 31:12Speaker 5: are actual threats. How are they resorting to tasering a
- 31:15Speaker 5: ninety three.
- 31:15Speaker 1: Year old It wasn't just a ninety three year old man,
- 31:18Speaker 1: and it wasn't just a ninety three year old man
- 31:20Speaker 1: sitting down. It was a ninety three year old man
- 31:22Speaker 1: sitting down with only one leg holding a button knife.
- 31:27Speaker 1: It all started when he'd been flicking food now other
- 31:30Speaker 1: people in the nursing home. Then when he was told
- 31:32Speaker 1: to stop, he flicked food at some of the staff.
- 31:35Speaker 1: And then when they tried to take the butt knife
- 31:37Speaker 1: off him, he did jab it into the stomach of
- 31:39Speaker 1: one of the staff. So they called the police, and
- 31:42Speaker 1: then as you saw there, the police pepper sprayed him,
- 31:45Speaker 1: then hit him with a baton and then finally tasered him.
- 31:48Speaker 1: As a result of the tasering, he went to hospital
- 31:51Speaker 1: where he contracted COVID and died twenty two days later.
- 31:55Speaker 1: There's now a court case in the UK. You know,
- 31:58Speaker 1: they say the mark of the civilives society as how
- 32:00Speaker 1: they treat their most vulnerable. And the most vulnerable in
- 32:03Speaker 1: any society are the unborn and the elderly. And if
- 32:07Speaker 1: this is the way we're treating our elderly, and when
- 32:09Speaker 1: I say we, you'll, of course when you saw that
- 32:13Speaker 1: footage be reminded that we saw something quite similar here
- 32:17Speaker 1: in this country back in twenty twenty three when Claire Noland,
- 32:20Speaker 1: a ninety five year old great grandmother, died after being
- 32:24Speaker 1: tasered by New South Wales police. Now the police officer
- 32:28Speaker 1: responsible was found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to two
- 32:31Speaker 1: years community correction. But in the UK, I mean, what
- 32:35Speaker 1: are we offering elderly people these days? So you can
- 32:38Speaker 1: either be tasered or they'll invite you to be euthanized.
- 32:41Speaker 1: That seems to be your options for police to resort
- 32:44Speaker 1: to that. I mean they could have just let him
- 32:46Speaker 1: fall asleep in his room.
- 32:47Speaker 2: Absolutely, And you know when you watch that vision and
- 32:49Speaker 2: you hear him screaming at the end in pain. It
- 32:51Speaker 2: is actually extremely distressing. And you're right, he had one
- 32:54Speaker 2: leg only he's certainly his demeanor is not threatening. He's
- 32:59Speaker 2: ninety three years years old. Probably doesn't you know, he
- 33:01Speaker 2: probably doesn't have his full wits about him anymore. The
- 33:04Speaker 2: fact that that that they resorted to tasering him, I
- 33:07Speaker 2: think speaks more about the sort of training that police
- 33:10Speaker 2: are getting. I think it goes to your point earlier, Freyer,
- 33:13Speaker 2: why didn't they just grab the knife out of him?
- 33:15Speaker 2: That the man was not holding it in a threatening way.
- 33:17Speaker 2: He wasn't going up to them, he wasn't standing up,
- 33:20Speaker 2: he wasn't pointing it at them, And I just think
- 33:22Speaker 2: it's so so sad, but it does. It reminds you
- 33:24Speaker 2: of what happened here with Claire Nowland and in this case,
- 33:28Speaker 2: the thirty five year old officer when he tased her,
- 33:30Speaker 2: he said, nah, bugger it before tasering at her chest.
- 33:35Speaker 2: It just shows such lack of respect for the elderly.
- 33:39Speaker 2: And you know, you just actually really felt, really it's
- 33:42Speaker 2: awful watching that video of him. I think it just
- 33:44Speaker 2: really is just disgusting. And those police officers should they
- 33:47Speaker 2: should be sacked. In my opinion, I think that is
- 33:49Speaker 2: a sackable offense.
- 33:50Speaker 1: It seems like UK police officers are never armed until
- 33:52Speaker 1: they're called to a nursing home. Give Mitch case, Suddenly
- 33:55Speaker 1: they're armed to the back teacher.
- 33:56Speaker 2: And there's so much crime in the UK as well,
- 33:58Speaker 2: and that is their priy.
- 34:00Speaker 1: You know. And you mentioned police training, but also this
- 34:04Speaker 1: is an issue here in Australia with the clear Nowland episode,
- 34:08Speaker 1: the training of nursing home staff that they need to
- 34:11Speaker 1: call the police to come and deal with a ninety
- 34:14Speaker 1: five year old great grandmother or a one legged ninety
- 34:17Speaker 1: three year old man. I mean, really, you've got to
- 34:19Speaker 1: call police for that.
- 34:20Speaker 5: They've got to get some Israelis in to teach them
- 34:23Speaker 5: krav magah. That'll teach you how to disarm anyone instantly.
- 34:27Speaker 5: And I'm sure they could take down a ninety three
- 34:30Speaker 5: year old. But speaking of Israelis, a member of a
- 34:33Speaker 5: popular Irish band has been charged by British police with
- 34:37Speaker 5: a terror offence for waiving a has Bala flag. He's
- 34:41Speaker 5: also under investigation for chanting at one of his concerts
- 34:46Speaker 5: up Hamas up Hasbla and allegedly encouraging people to kill lawmakers.
- 34:54Speaker 5: Pretty shocking stuff. But you might remember this Irish band
- 34:58Speaker 5: Kneecap because they were also in Australia a couple months
- 35:02Speaker 5: ago and at their Melbourne concert the severed head of
- 35:08Speaker 5: a statue of King George rocked up on stage Melbourne.
- 35:18Speaker 3: This used to belong there, a statue of j George.
- 35:31Speaker 3: It's the first ever royal analia and Jerny I a
- 35:36Speaker 3: little bit of last.
- 35:39Speaker 5: So there seems to be an interesting link here between
- 35:43Speaker 5: radical activists, anti empire, anti colonial ideology and.
- 35:51Speaker 6: Being pro terror. It's really funny, isn't it.
- 35:55Speaker 1: And of course, having been charged with terror offenses for
- 35:58Speaker 1: waving a his Balaf flag, they're now say they are
- 36:00Speaker 1: the victims of government persecution. The government just want to
- 36:03Speaker 1: stop them from getting their message to young people. Well
- 36:06Speaker 1: on that I would support the government from stopping them
- 36:09Speaker 1: up poising the minds of young people. We're going to
- 36:11Speaker 1: go to a break. When we come back, we'll look
- 36:13Speaker 1: at what's making news tomorrow, including a number of students
- 36:16Speaker 1: assaulting New South Wales teachers. Has gone through the roof
- 36:20Speaker 1: all of that and more in just a moment. Welcome back,
- 36:27Speaker 1: let's take a look at tomorrow's headlines. Free You've got
- 36:30Speaker 1: the Australian. They've got a story there. As you would imagine,
- 36:33Speaker 1: on that tragic killing.
- 36:35Speaker 12: Of the two Jewish diplomats in DC, A young couple
- 36:39Speaker 12: who worked together at the Israeli Embassy in Washington was
- 36:43Speaker 12: shot dead at close range near a Jewish museum in
- 36:46Speaker 12: the cultural heart of the US capital by a thirty
- 36:50Speaker 12: year old man who, when taken into.
- 36:52Speaker 5: Custody, shouted, free, Free Palestine. Honestly, it was just a
- 36:57Speaker 5: matter of time. The Israeli ambassador to America sketched out
- 37:01Speaker 5: the depth of the tragedy, noting that Iran Lishinski had
- 37:05Speaker 5: bought a ring with the intention of proposing to his girlfriend,
- 37:09Speaker 5: Sarah Milgram. The pair were going to get engaged when
- 37:12Speaker 5: they traveled to Jerusalem next week. The ambassador yehier Leiter
- 37:17Speaker 5: described the two staffers, whose identities were confirmed by Israeli officials,
- 37:23Speaker 5: as a beautiful couple. It is honestly, just an absolutely
- 37:29Speaker 5: heartbreaking story to witness such young life senselessly taken over
- 37:35Speaker 5: delusional political ideologies.
- 37:38Speaker 6: But there was also a.
- 37:39Speaker 5: Witness at the scene who incidentally offered the murderer a
- 37:44Speaker 5: glass of water, not knowing what he had just done.
- 37:48Speaker 11: Listen to this, and when I arrived in the lobby,
- 37:52Speaker 11: there was commotion and a frenzy, but at that time
- 37:55Speaker 11: we were not No one was.
- 37:56Speaker 6: Aware of lives lost.
- 37:59Speaker 11: The gunshots were Security started locking the doors, and that
- 38:04Speaker 11: is when I saw whom I now know.
- 38:06Speaker 8: Is the perpetrator, the murderer of these.
- 38:09Speaker 11: This is really a Jewish couple.
- 38:11Speaker 6: I see him.
- 38:12Speaker 11: He seems very distraught. I now understand it's because he
- 38:16Speaker 11: killed two People's point. Link offered him water, he accepted.
- 38:20Speaker 11: I then handed him the water. The second doctor I've
- 38:22Speaker 11: handed him the water, he whips out his cathea and
- 38:24Speaker 11: yellsbree Palestine, and then he's subdued by the officers on scene.
- 38:28Speaker 11: I can't recall if that was DC police or museum security.
- 38:33Speaker 5: I guess it was only a matter of time when
- 38:35Speaker 5: the streets week after week a filled with people chanting
- 38:38Speaker 5: all zion as the terrorists from the river to the
- 38:40Speaker 5: sea globalize the Intafada, Well, at some point someone is
- 38:44Speaker 5: going to act on that, and that is exactly what's happened.
- 38:47Speaker 2: James.
- 38:47Speaker 1: Yeah, many of these people seem to sympathize, sympathize with terrorists,
- 38:51Speaker 1: and now one has become a terrorist in himself. And
- 38:55Speaker 1: you know, as you said, it's not surprising. Even in
- 38:58Speaker 1: the last couple of days we've had the United Nations
- 39:02Speaker 1: propagating the idea that fourteen thousand babies will die in
- 39:05Speaker 1: the next forty eight hours if Israel don't get baby
- 39:08Speaker 1: food into Gaza. That has since proved to be an
- 39:11Speaker 1: absolute lie. It was based on a study that was
- 39:15Speaker 1: not talking about only babies, it was not talking about
- 39:18Speaker 1: everybody dying, and it was talking about a time period
- 39:20Speaker 1: of twelve months, not forty eight hours. And yet this
- 39:23Speaker 1: was reported by the BBC, the ABC here in Australia,
- 39:26Speaker 1: SBS in Australia, the Guardian, and after it was revealed
- 39:30Speaker 1: to be a massive beat up. Do you think any
- 39:32Speaker 1: of those publications have issued a retraction. No, they haven't.
- 39:35Speaker 1: And then we see things like this and you wonder
- 39:38Speaker 1: why did people get to a point where they were
- 39:41Speaker 1: willing to kill Well, there's so many lies told about Israel.
- 39:45Speaker 1: The Jewish state is demonized so badly. Is that anyone
- 39:49Speaker 1: that eventually people take up arms. A lot of people
- 39:52Speaker 1: have got a lot of accounting to do for the
- 39:54Speaker 1: way that they have misrepresented Israel and spoken about what's
- 39:57Speaker 1: happening in the Middle East.
- 39:59Speaker 2: Well, you know, it's it's actually very scary because we've
- 40:01Speaker 2: often said, even here in Australia, what is it going
- 40:03Speaker 2: to take for even our authority, is just our politicians
- 40:07Speaker 2: and law authorities to actually do something on this. Is
- 40:10Speaker 2: it going to take the depths of Jews, of innocent
- 40:13Speaker 2: Jews for them to go Actually, Okay, we've got a
- 40:15Speaker 2: problem with anti Semitism in this country. Well you need
- 40:17Speaker 2: to look no further. It's is what has happened here,
- 40:20Speaker 2: because if we don't start cracking down, we don't start
- 40:23Speaker 2: protecting Jewish Australians. And I really hate to say it,
- 40:26Speaker 2: but something like this could happen on home soil.
- 40:29Speaker 6: Ye.
- 40:29Speaker 5: Well, this is the true face of the Free Palestine
- 40:31Speaker 5: movement and it's been revealed now. Another story in the
- 40:35Speaker 5: Australian heritage deal to avert next Duken, the long opposed
- 40:40Speaker 5: leading advocates for First Nation's Native title protection and the
- 40:44Speaker 5: mining sector have reached an accord on heritage protection reforms
- 40:48Speaker 5: five years after the Duke and Gorge disaster. The First
- 40:52Speaker 5: Nation's Heritage Protection Alliance and the Minerals Council of Australia
- 40:56Speaker 5: will reach a historic agreement on Friday over those terms
- 41:00Speaker 5: for long promised federal heritage law reform in an attempt
- 41:04Speaker 5: to streamline industrial growth while safeguarding Indigenous history. Now, this
- 41:10Speaker 5: has been a contentious area. We've seen huge mind projects delayed.
- 41:14Speaker 5: We've seen the fabrication of indigenous history and culture to
- 41:18Speaker 5: put massive nationally significant projects on hold. I think it's
- 41:22Speaker 5: good that they're finally coming to terms with this and
- 41:26Speaker 5: I guess reconciling.
- 41:28Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, especially in Western Australia. This is really important
- 41:31Speaker 2: for the mining industry over in the West. But something
- 41:33Speaker 2: had to be done. We know what happened here in
- 41:35Speaker 2: New South Wales with the blamey mind when Tania Plibasset
- 41:37Speaker 2: came in and said, no, we can't do that. Look,
- 41:40Speaker 2: obviously it's good to consult, you've got you want to
- 41:42Speaker 2: make it, you want to do this properly, but it
- 41:44Speaker 2: also stops, you know, a rainbow serpent being declared in
- 41:48Speaker 2: every single part of this country. So look good that
- 41:51Speaker 2: they've tried to come to some sort of a resolution.
- 41:53Speaker 1: Yep. Absolutely, let's go to New South Wales. The Daily Telegraph,
- 41:57Speaker 1: of course, reporting on those devastating flow UDDs that are
- 42:00Speaker 1: currently being experienced. Killer floods devastate the North, cold, wet heartache,
- 42:06Speaker 1: reads the headline, and the article tells how three people
- 42:09Speaker 1: have died, another was still missing last night, and thousands
- 42:13Speaker 1: more have fled rising floodwaters across the Mid North Coast,
- 42:16Speaker 1: where some communities were hammered with a month of rain
- 42:19Speaker 1: in just twenty four hours. Chris Mins, the Premiere has
- 42:22Speaker 1: warned the worst was yet to come, with major downpours
- 42:25Speaker 1: and cruelly savage winds predicted in the coming days. The
- 42:29Speaker 1: devastating rainfront was last night headed south towards Sydney. You've
- 42:34Speaker 1: got to pay tribute to a lot of the work
- 42:36Speaker 1: done by emergency services who, as you can see on
- 42:39Speaker 1: your screen, have been rescuing people who have been trapped
- 42:44Speaker 1: by floodwaters. Not just getting in on Rubbadinghy's but we've
- 42:48Speaker 1: seen many helicopter rescues as well. Police have done a
- 42:51Speaker 1: great job under very trying circumstances. But that much rain
- 42:55Speaker 1: in twenty four hours is absolutely devastating. And I guess
- 43:00Speaker 1: everyone's prayer is that three dead, that's three too many people.
- 43:04Speaker 1: But I guess our prayer is that no more people
- 43:07Speaker 1: with lives lost, and that from here on in they
- 43:10Speaker 1: can get through this and no more damage done.
- 43:13Speaker 5: It would also be great if we could send some
- 43:16Speaker 5: of this rain down south. It's like half the country
- 43:19Speaker 5: is either flooding and the other half in extreme drought.
- 43:22Speaker 2: It's crazy. Yeah, no, you're absolutely right. Let's move on
- 43:25Speaker 2: now to the Adelaide Advertiser. Their headline is read write
- 43:29Speaker 2: and bash students as young as primary school age accord
- 43:33Speaker 2: in an explosion of campus violence, including as shocking growth
- 43:36Speaker 2: and attacks by pupils on teachers, violence, bullying, and weapons
- 43:40Speaker 2: at public schools have surged across the state, with critical
- 43:42Speaker 2: incidents reported by school staff rising by almost one thousand
- 43:47Speaker 2: in the past year to more than fourteen thousand cases.
- 43:50Speaker 2: I am absolutely flabbergacid like this in what is going
- 43:55Speaker 2: on with these kids that they feel the need to
- 43:58Speaker 2: attack teachers, that they feel the need to attack kids.
- 44:00Speaker 2: Are the kids in general, I mean to rise by
- 44:03Speaker 2: one thousand in the last year alone. I don't know
- 44:06Speaker 2: what's going on. Are these kids troubled? What is going
- 44:09Speaker 2: on at home? But I actually think this is a
- 44:11Speaker 2: frightening statistic.
- 44:12Speaker 5: Well, we do know from OECD data that we have
- 44:15Speaker 5: some of the worst behave classrooms in the world, so
- 44:18Speaker 5: it is shocking. And on that similarly disturbing crime theme,
- 44:22Speaker 5: moving over to the Cans Post, they have a headline
- 44:25Speaker 5: which says hospital considers adjusting opening hours as health staff rocked.
- 44:32Speaker 6: Healthcare workers in.
- 44:33Speaker 5: Far North Queensland are being attacked with rocks by youths
- 44:37Speaker 5: using slingshots as staff call for armored vehicles to take
- 44:42Speaker 5: them to and from work. Teams have been targeting vehicles
- 44:46Speaker 5: traveling in and out of Yarraba, sixty kilometers from cans,
- 44:51Speaker 5: with Indigenous leaders and corporations condemning the attacks. This is
- 44:57Speaker 5: absolutely shocking.
- 44:59Speaker 1: You've got two interesting stories in the papers tomorrow. You've
- 45:01Speaker 1: got the violence in schools that we spoke about in
- 45:05Speaker 1: the Adelaide Advertiser. You've got hospital staff being attacked in
- 45:09Speaker 1: Far North Queensland. The interesting thing is we've got a
- 45:11Speaker 1: shortage of people wanting to teach in schools and it's
- 45:15Speaker 1: really hard to get people to go to North Queensland,
- 45:18Speaker 1: especially to indigenous communities where help is needed. But people
- 45:22Speaker 1: don't want to go there any wonder we've got shortages
- 45:26Speaker 1: in those two areas.
- 45:26Speaker 2: I mean, they got so desperate. At one point they
- 45:28Speaker 2: even had a campaign to try and get retired principles
- 45:32Speaker 2: and retired teachers back to the classrooms. When you read
- 45:35Speaker 2: stuff like this, why on earth would you ever want
- 45:37Speaker 2: to go back to the workforce for no wonder they've
- 45:39Speaker 2: got a complete shortage and the fact that they're using
- 45:42Speaker 2: slingshots and they're calling for armored vehicles. I mean, what
- 45:45Speaker 2: is going on in society? But again, what's going on
- 45:47Speaker 2: at home? What's happening with the parents? You've got sorry,
- 45:50Speaker 2: but you have to ask what on earth is going
- 45:52Speaker 2: on with the parents.
- 45:52Speaker 1: It's an interesting point because you look at how bad
- 45:54Speaker 1: it is and you have to say, well, you don't
- 45:56Speaker 1: go from nothing to that. There's a whole lot of
- 45:58Speaker 1: incremental step and so what have we allowed? What have
- 46:02Speaker 1: we turned a blind eye to? What have we excused
- 46:05Speaker 1: that's allowed things to escalate to a point where now
- 46:08Speaker 1: we say, what are we going to do? We refuse
- 46:11Speaker 1: to address little problems and now we've got big problems
- 46:14Speaker 1: that we don't know how to address. We're going to
- 46:16Speaker 1: go to a break when we come back. A teeth
- 46:18Speaker 1: whitening company accused of racism because well, they want to
- 46:22Speaker 1: make your teeth white. Well, should you shower in the
- 46:28Speaker 1: morning or at night? It's the perennial debate. But science
- 46:32Speaker 1: may have an answer to Nikah.
- 46:33Speaker 2: Well, we'd love to say that science has an answer
- 46:35Speaker 2: whether you shower at morning or at night. But guess what.
- 46:38Speaker 2: Science unfortunately doesn't have an answer to it, because, according
- 46:42Speaker 2: to an expert, this is what he says. Quote, showering
- 46:45Speaker 2: at night may remove some of the allergens sweat and
- 46:47Speaker 2: oil picked up during the days, so less ends up
- 46:49Speaker 2: on your bed sheets. However, even if you're freshly showered
- 46:52Speaker 2: before bed, you still sweat at night. On the other hand,
- 46:56Speaker 2: he says, morning showers can help to remove dead skin cells, sweat,
- 46:59Speaker 2: and bacteria from your body that you may have picked
- 47:01Speaker 2: up during the night. Well, that doesn't really give us
- 47:04Speaker 2: an answer at all, does it. Morning or night. It's
- 47:06Speaker 2: still you can still got bacteria, You've still got sweat.
- 47:09Speaker 2: A like a morning shower. Personally, I'm a night shower.
- 47:12Speaker 5: I must confess the idea of going your whole day.
- 47:15Speaker 5: You accumulate all this grit and dirt from the outside world,
- 47:18Speaker 5: and then you're just going to cozy up in your
- 47:21Speaker 5: clean sheets and contaminate them with all the outside bacteria. No,
- 47:25Speaker 5: thank you, don't come into my bed if.
- 47:27Speaker 2: You haven't showered.
- 47:27Speaker 1: It seems like the answer is you have to shower
- 47:29Speaker 1: in the morning and at night, and you need to
- 47:32Speaker 1: wash your sheets every single day.
- 47:33Speaker 2: That's how it's basic hygiene.
- 47:35Speaker 1: Who would have thought, I am I am not human
- 47:39Speaker 1: until I've had a shower in the morning. Theyven talk
- 47:40Speaker 1: to me into my shower coffee and it's like ten
- 47:43Speaker 1: thirty am.
- 47:44Speaker 2: But if I've got if I've gone out at night,
- 47:46Speaker 2: I like to go and have a shower before I
- 47:48Speaker 2: go to bed as well, because you do feel gross?
- 47:50Speaker 1: Yeah, did the shell wakes you up?
- 47:52Speaker 2: No? This is hot shower. It's nice.
- 47:54Speaker 5: No, no, no, okay, there's room for both. We'll compromise.
- 47:58Speaker 5: But moving on to mel, a popular teeth whitening brand's
- 48:02Speaker 5: latest ad has been criticized and left the public totally stunned.
- 48:08Speaker 5: Their slogan has made it onto the side of public transport,
- 48:13Speaker 5: emblazoned with the phrase make the white choice today Now.
- 48:19Speaker 5: Critics online have said the slogan didn't just magically slip
- 48:23Speaker 5: through the cracks, It passed through multiple layers of approvals
- 48:27Speaker 5: and no one flagged how radically loaded. This phrase is
- 48:31Speaker 5: people are reading into the racist undertonement and deep held
- 48:35Speaker 5: a systemic bias against minorities because of this teeth whitening brand.
- 48:40Speaker 6: I think it's complete over.
- 48:43Speaker 1: You see racism in that it says more about you
- 48:46Speaker 1: than it does about the marketing campaign or about the
- 48:50Speaker 1: company itself. If a teeth whitening company can't say we
- 48:53Speaker 1: want to make your teeth white without being accused of racism,
- 48:56Speaker 1: just give it up.
- 48:57Speaker 2: What's what's white? Should you be ashamed to be white? Well?
- 49:00Speaker 1: I don't understand because the implication is that white is
- 49:03Speaker 1: I know that, but doesn't matter, really doesn't matter. It
- 49:05Speaker 1: is what it is unless you're obsessed with race, and
- 49:07Speaker 1: then it's the only thing that matters. That's it from us.
- 49:10Speaker 1: We're going to take off, but to stick around because
- 49:13Speaker 1: coming up in just a moment is to read a
- 49:14Speaker 1: penny in show good Night
