- 0:00Speaker 1: Lee, welcome the Late Bay.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Well, good evening, It's great to have your company. I'm
- 0:09Speaker 2: James Macpherson with Liz Storer and filling in for Caleb Bond,
- 0:12Speaker 2: who's home unwell tonight. We wish you all the best.
- 0:14Speaker 2: Caleb is Denika de Georgio. We've got a lot to
- 0:17Speaker 2: get through tonight, including Sunshine Coast Twins go viral around
- 0:22Speaker 2: the world after a TV interview. You've got to see
- 0:25Speaker 2: to believe. We'll show you that a little later. Plus
- 0:27Speaker 2: when we look at what's making news tomorrow, Peter Dutton
- 0:30Speaker 2: with a big announcement on defense spending and the cyclist
- 0:34Speaker 2: involved in a crash involving Dan Andrews awarded a massive payout.
- 0:39Speaker 2: All of that coming up shortly, but first let's start
- 0:42Speaker 2: the program by asking how do you think the Teals
- 0:45Speaker 2: elected on a platform of transparency and integrity are going.
- 0:49Speaker 2: Here's how Teal MP Monique Ryan began when elected to
- 0:53Speaker 2: Parliament three years ago. Have a listened.
- 0:56Speaker 3: In recent years, the people of Australia have lost faith
- 1:00Speaker 3: in our political system. We have been shamed by the
- 1:03Speaker 3: lack of integrity and transparency that it has shown. We
- 1:08Speaker 3: have lost trust in its processes. And have become disaffected
- 1:12Speaker 3: and disappointed.
- 1:14Speaker 2: Well that was then, But here's Melik Ryan. Now, oh yeah.
- 1:19Speaker 4: We don't want to interrupt, but we just wanted to. Yeah,
- 1:23Speaker 4: we are well in the interest of bit of transparency.
- 1:26Speaker 5: We just thought maybe we just want to know how
- 1:28Speaker 5: your campaign's going this morning.
- 1:31Speaker 3: Well, thanks, Laura, I am here to engage your photos
- 1:33Speaker 3: through a prepole.
- 1:34Speaker 2: It's at election. Yeah, so I'm not.
- 1:37Speaker 3: Sure that this really ideal for you to be interrupting
- 1:40Speaker 3: that process.
- 1:43Speaker 4: Have you had any other have you ready?
- 1:47Speaker 2: I'm not sure what process our Sky News colleague Laura
- 1:50Speaker 2: Jays was interrupting. If Meniku Ryan wants to engage with voters,
- 1:55Speaker 2: I would have thought, Liz and Anika that talking to
- 1:58Speaker 2: the media is a pretty good and standard way to
- 2:01Speaker 2: engage with voters. Is this what the teals mean by
- 2:03Speaker 2: politics done differently?
- 2:05Speaker 4: Clearly?
- 2:06Speaker 1: Clearly it looks exactly like the old model.
- 2:09Speaker 4: So I'm a little bit confus here.
- 2:11Speaker 1: It always amuses me when politicians do this while they're
- 2:14Speaker 1: scurrying away from cameras, being like, oh, I'm in the
- 2:17Speaker 1: middle of something else. I've got somewhere else to be
- 2:20Speaker 1: talk to us, like where your employer, because we are
- 2:25Speaker 1: we pay your salary, we elect you, we get to
- 2:29Speaker 1: decide whether or not you get another gig, and you
- 2:33Speaker 1: bet your bottom dollar, lady. There are plenty of people
- 2:36Speaker 1: in Quyong who watch Sky, so by talking to Laura Jays,
- 2:40Speaker 1: you're probably talking to thousands of those voters whose votes.
- 2:45Speaker 4: You want to turn in your direction.
- 2:48Speaker 1: Probably not going to happen, though, if you're watching Sky, Tanika.
- 2:52Speaker 6: No, definitely not.
- 2:53Speaker 5: And look here we go again with that money crime.
- 2:55Speaker 5: Sorry doctor money cry, Please don't get that wrongs getting
- 3:00Speaker 5: that one.
- 3:01Speaker 6: Rosbie is DoD Monique Ryan. But look here we go again.
- 3:04Speaker 5: There seems to be some confusion for a person who
- 3:06Speaker 5: was elected on a platform of integrity and transparency, doctor
- 3:11Speaker 5: Monique Ryan just can't quite grasp that concept.
- 3:14Speaker 6: Now. What I particularly liked it from that clip was
- 3:18Speaker 6: she couldn't just come out and you know, say a
- 3:20Speaker 6: couple of lines.
- 3:21Speaker 5: She then had to get a junior staffer, I presume
- 3:24Speaker 5: it was a junior staffer to trot ride in and
- 3:27Speaker 5: then say to Laura Jay's, no, no, sorry, she doesn't
- 3:29Speaker 5: want to speak. There she is on screen again. If
- 3:33Speaker 5: you're at a public spot, you want to be elected,
- 3:36Speaker 5: you can't be acting shocked and surprised when the media
- 3:39Speaker 5: comes knocking at your door wanting to ask genuine questions
- 3:42Speaker 5: about integrity, because well, who could forget this classic moment
- 3:46Speaker 5: from Anique Ryan only a few weeks ago on the ABC.
- 3:50Speaker 2: You'd have to give that some thought.
- 3:53Speaker 3: Well, uh, I would think that it would be clear.
- 3:59Speaker 2: I don't know. I think.
- 4:06Speaker 4: I'd have to give you some thought.
- 4:08Speaker 5: Oh dear, it never gets any better to watch that.
- 4:11Speaker 5: But this just is what bothers me about the tials.
- 4:14Speaker 5: And I'm not just talking solely about Monique Ryan. I'm
- 4:16Speaker 5: talking about.
- 4:17Speaker 6: All of the tills.
- 4:18Speaker 5: They always run away when it comes to anything that
- 4:21Speaker 5: I want to talk about. It's run, run, run, Well,
- 4:24Speaker 5: how are you supposed to vote for you if you're
- 4:25Speaker 5: going to run away?
- 4:26Speaker 2: Well, it's your point out. It's not just the teal
- 4:28Speaker 2: politicians who run away, it's also their husband's his Monique
- 4:32Speaker 2: Ryan's husband taking down liberal coreflute signs and running away.
- 4:37Speaker 6: They hang on, mate, what are you doing? I'm taking
- 4:41Speaker 6: the yeah, beg you pardon, I'm taking the side out.
- 4:44Speaker 3: What are you doing that for?
- 4:46Speaker 4: It's on public land.
- 4:48Speaker 2: What amazes me, Liz is how many sections of the
- 4:51Speaker 2: media continue to fam over the Teals who have been
- 4:55Speaker 2: exposed over the past three years as rank hypocrites when
- 4:58Speaker 2: it comes to integrity and trans experiency. They're as bad
- 5:01Speaker 2: as everybody else. They are not distinguishing themselves at all,
- 5:05Speaker 2: and yet certain sections of the media continue to fawn
- 5:08Speaker 2: over them as if there's some new revelation of political
- 5:11Speaker 2: discourse in the country. They're not. They're the same as
- 5:14Speaker 2: everybody else, if not worse.
- 5:16Speaker 1: Indeed, and it's going to be very interesting to see
- 5:18Speaker 1: how they go this second round, because only once can
- 5:22Speaker 1: you tell people we're going to be so different, We're
- 5:25Speaker 1: going to be standouts this lot. We are not like them.
- 5:29Speaker 1: You can't pull that one trick pony twice.
- 5:33Speaker 4: Well.
- 5:33Speaker 1: Around the nation yesterday, early voting centers opened everywhere the
- 5:39Speaker 1: game is on, except for in Quaker's Hill, where a
- 5:44Speaker 1: truck bearing liberal signage pulled into the Quaker's Hilk Community
- 5:49Speaker 1: Center and promptly struck the voting center so hard it
- 5:54Speaker 1: shunted its roof on to the vehicle, So that has
- 5:59Speaker 1: been shut down for safety purposes.
- 6:02Speaker 4: So if you're in Quakers.
- 6:03Speaker 1: Hill and you are hoping to go to your early
- 6:06Speaker 1: voting center, well it's just not gonna happen. But get this,
- 6:10Speaker 1: when the driver realized what he'd done, he promptly removed
- 6:15Speaker 1: the Liberal signage.
- 6:18Speaker 4: Here is, oh, here is. We're watching him do it,
- 6:23Speaker 4: So nobody knew that this was a Liberal truck that
- 6:27Speaker 4: had done this.
- 6:28Speaker 1: No, no, he's designaging here's truck.
- 6:31Speaker 4: So it could have been any truck.
- 6:33Speaker 1: It could have been anyone that had done this, which
- 6:36Speaker 1: makes it even more hilarious.
- 6:38Speaker 4: I mean, you did the crime. Just put your hand
- 6:40Speaker 4: up and be like, ah, you.
- 6:42Speaker 2: Know why the Liberal Party truck crashed, don't you. It
- 6:45Speaker 2: didn't turn right hard enough. That was the problem. But
- 6:50Speaker 2: of course it makes a mockery of the Liberal slogan
- 6:52Speaker 2: back on track. It certainly doesn't seem to be back
- 6:54Speaker 2: on track, but at least they can say their campaign
- 6:57Speaker 2: hasn't been a train wreck.
- 7:00Speaker 5: You are really rolling out these punk rehearsing all night. Look,
- 7:04Speaker 5: the cover up is always worse than the crime, is it.
- 7:06Speaker 5: I mean, they shouldn't have been ripping that material.
- 7:08Speaker 6: Off, though.
- 7:09Speaker 5: I do spare a thought for the people of Quakers
- 7:12Speaker 5: Hill now because the Australian Electoral Commission has come out
- 7:15Speaker 5: saying that perhaps this facility, this particular pre pole facility
- 7:19Speaker 5: may need to be relocated in the next couple of
- 7:22Speaker 5: days because of this accident.
- 7:25Speaker 6: You're a thought for Quaker's Hill.
- 7:26Speaker 2: At the very least, Sime stopped the voats and stopped
- 7:29Speaker 2: the vote.
- 7:30Speaker 6: That's live.
- 7:33Speaker 4: We're roof off this play. That's how amazing we are.
- 7:36Speaker 1: Well, if you miss the leader's debate tonight, news flash,
- 7:40Speaker 1: you missed nothing. They said nothing except for the same old,
- 7:45Speaker 1: crusty lines that you've already heard for weeks. I've said
- 7:50Speaker 1: it before, these debates.
- 7:52Speaker 4: Fall on deaf ears when for.
- 7:53Speaker 1: The better part of an hour, whoever is currently in
- 7:57Speaker 1: power and their opponent, in this case the leaders, but
- 8:00Speaker 1: we've heard from.
- 8:01Speaker 4: The energy ministers, et cetera, and so on.
- 8:04Speaker 1: All they seem to do at nauseum is state facts
- 8:09Speaker 1: the other one. It chooses them of lying, then the
- 8:11Speaker 1: other one. It chooses the other one of lying, and
- 8:14Speaker 1: everyone sat at home going okay, well, who's telling the truth.
- 8:20Speaker 1: For a perfect example of this from tonight's debate, look
- 8:24Speaker 1: no further. When they got to the hot topic of
- 8:29Speaker 1: health cuts.
- 8:32Speaker 7: The Prime Minister stands here with a straight face and
- 8:35Speaker 7: says what he knows not to be true, And I
- 8:38Speaker 7: think again, it'd be great to see him called out
- 8:40Speaker 7: because he continues to repeat these mistruths and Australians deserve
- 8:45Speaker 7: better from Well they're prime, Minister, that's true.
- 8:47Speaker 8: You described it as a cut if you were twenty
- 8:49Speaker 8: fourteen budget described it as a cut as a saving.
- 8:53Speaker 2: If you'll been honest, fifty health EACHYB and education.
- 8:58Speaker 8: You ripped eighty dollars out of those two items in
- 9:02Speaker 8: two thousand and four.
- 9:03Speaker 7: Minister, you couldn't liice straight in bed. Honestly, this is unbelievable.
- 9:06Speaker 2: It can go to abuse. Well, it's just the gas
- 9:09Speaker 2: for real abuse.
- 9:09Speaker 8: That's a sign of desperation. Frankly, as he's lying, that's
- 9:14Speaker 8: a sign of desperation.
- 9:16Speaker 1: And nobody's sitting at home. Is any the wiser telling
- 9:20Speaker 1: the truth here? Nobody knows and who's got the time
- 9:23Speaker 1: to do the research. That's why they watched the debate.
- 9:27Speaker 1: They're trying to get a clear idea about these two
- 9:30Speaker 1: and what they stand for. But I got to give
- 9:32Speaker 1: it to him Albo when asked about cost of living, well,
- 9:36Speaker 1: he did really well tonight.
- 9:38Speaker 7: Are you prepared to repeat that pledge that in another
- 9:40Speaker 7: three years time?
- 9:41Speaker 2: Oh?
- 9:41Speaker 8: We certainly want people to be better off in three
- 9:45Speaker 8: years time, and that is what it's about.
- 9:48Speaker 1: But that's what you said three years ago, and nobody
- 9:52Speaker 1: is I got to say. I think the star of
- 9:54Speaker 1: tonight's debate was the moderator, who, before either of them
- 9:58Speaker 1: had said a word, opened the debate by saying, well, guys.
- 10:03Speaker 4: The polls show that one in three Aussies isn't voting.
- 10:07Speaker 1: For either of you, so go your hardest. I'm paraphrasing,
- 10:11Speaker 1: but I thought it was a mic drop moment just
- 10:15Speaker 1: to look at the amount of Assies.
- 10:17Speaker 4: That's a huge majority.
- 10:19Speaker 1: Well not majority, but obviously one in three that is massive,
- 10:24Speaker 1: being like, we are not voting for either of the
- 10:26Speaker 1: major parties this time round.
- 10:27Speaker 4: Was sick of both of them.
- 10:28Speaker 5: Yeah, And this is the problem right now because look,
- 10:31Speaker 5: I actually think that Peter Dutton performed very well in
- 10:33Speaker 5: that debate. I think it was his sharpest performance compared
- 10:36Speaker 5: to the one on the ABC last week where he
- 10:38Speaker 5: did look more stress more nervous, even though.
- 10:40Speaker 6: I thought that was good.
- 10:41Speaker 5: But the thing for Peter Dutton now is he needs
- 10:44Speaker 5: some knockout blows. There's only two weeks left of the campaign.
- 10:47Speaker 5: He now has to come firing on all fronts because
- 10:50Speaker 5: the Poles are against him. There are a lot of
- 10:52Speaker 5: disillusioned voters out there. The soft vote is higher than
- 10:55Speaker 5: ever and he needs to try and convince those voters
- 10:58Speaker 5: to come over to his side.
- 11:00Speaker 6: Form very well.
- 11:01Speaker 5: The question is that going to be enough now to
- 11:04Speaker 5: convince the disillusioned voter, to convince the undecided voter.
- 11:08Speaker 6: I'm not so sure. Again.
- 11:10Speaker 5: Albanisi showed his true colors tonight when it came to
- 11:13Speaker 5: the cost of living. It goes to show he really,
- 11:15Speaker 5: in the last three years hasn't quite got a grasp
- 11:18Speaker 5: on what the cost of living crisis is. My standout
- 11:21Speaker 5: moment of this debate though, was when the leaders were
- 11:24Speaker 5: both asked about the would you preference another party? And
- 11:29Speaker 5: this is what they said, have a look at this.
- 11:32Speaker 4: Will you do a deal with minority parties?
- 11:34Speaker 6: Prime Minister no, mister Dutton, not with.
- 11:37Speaker 7: The Greens, but with independence. And that's not a truthful
- 11:40Speaker 7: answer from the Prime Minister there of this. It's not
- 11:43Speaker 7: that the Labor Party will fall over themselves to do
- 11:45Speaker 7: a deal.
- 11:45Speaker 2: With the Greens.
- 11:46Speaker 4: It's it's just you preference them.
- 11:50Speaker 8: Truth put forward put forward by Peter Well.
- 11:54Speaker 5: We obviously know that Anthony Albanesi is lying here because
- 11:58Speaker 5: the polls say it's like to be a minority. A
- 12:01Speaker 5: minority Labor Greens and Till's government a couple of tills
- 12:05Speaker 5: scattered in here and there. Anthony Albanesi will definitely do
- 12:09Speaker 5: a deal with the Greens when push comes to shove.
- 12:11Speaker 6: We saw it back in the Gillard era.
- 12:13Speaker 5: It was a disaster back then, but this brand of
- 12:15Speaker 5: Greens is even more dangerous. They are a disaster for
- 12:18Speaker 5: this country. And we can rest assured that Anthony Aarbernesi,
- 12:21Speaker 5: despite his ducking and weaving on the issue, he will
- 12:24Speaker 5: do a deal if he has to.
- 12:25Speaker 2: Jake, I'm sure he will. What's fascinating, and you made
- 12:27Speaker 2: the point. Peter Dutton's got, what is it, ten days
- 12:29Speaker 2: left of this campaign. He's got to come out firing
- 12:32Speaker 2: and this, to me is the fascinating part of tonight's
- 12:35Speaker 2: debate and the next week and a bit going forward.
- 12:38Speaker 2: Peter Dutton has to nail Anthony Albanesi. But the problem
- 12:42Speaker 2: he has is people are put off by his hard
- 12:45Speaker 2: man image. So he's trying to sell himself as soft
- 12:48Speaker 2: and as relatable and as a guy that we would
- 12:51Speaker 2: all warm to. But it's very hard to maintain that
- 12:54Speaker 2: image while nailing the Prime Minister as a liar and
- 12:57Speaker 2: a fraud. And you saw that in the that you
- 13:00Speaker 2: played earlier, Liz, where he's accusing Anthony Albanesi of not
- 13:03Speaker 2: being able to lie straight in bed. But he's just
- 13:06Speaker 2: not that convincing because instead of going really hard, you
- 13:09Speaker 2: feel like he's pulling his punches because he knows he
- 13:12Speaker 2: can't come across as a hard man. Richard Miles, the
- 13:16Speaker 2: Deputy Prime Minister, made the point after the debate that
- 13:19Speaker 2: Dutton had come across as agro and it's very clear
- 13:22Speaker 2: what the Labor Party are going to do. Anthony Alberzi
- 13:25Speaker 2: accused Peter Dutton of being personal and launching abuse at
- 13:30Speaker 2: him during the debate. So Dutton's got this problem. He's
- 13:33Speaker 2: got to really nail Anthony Albanesi as deceitful and as
- 13:37Speaker 2: a liar. And that's surely Elbanese's weakness in the electorate
- 13:41Speaker 2: two hundred and seventy five dollars power decrease. We all
- 13:44Speaker 2: know that was a lie, but how does he make
- 13:46Speaker 2: that point forcefully enough while still being a good guy
- 13:50Speaker 2: who's not the tough image that so many voters are rejecting.
- 13:54Speaker 2: The leaders were asked what they admired about each other,
- 13:58Speaker 2: which is always an interesting way of gauging not only
- 14:02Speaker 2: their relationship but how gracious they are. Here's the response, are.
- 14:07Speaker 6: Three things you would admire about him?
- 14:09Speaker 8: Three I only ever prepare for.
- 14:14Speaker 6: One was a problem.
- 14:16Speaker 8: Let me say this, he that's way above his average
- 14:20Speaker 8: with Kiraly.
- 14:22Speaker 2: He has a terrific family.
- 14:23Speaker 8: I've had the privilege and he clearly cares about them,
- 14:27Speaker 8: and that's a terrific thing. Longevity in politics he's been
- 14:32Speaker 8: We've been in Parliament for basically the same amount of time,
- 14:35Speaker 8: almost both been there for more than twenty years.
- 14:38Speaker 2: That's an achievement.
- 14:40Speaker 7: Acknowledged the Prime minister's support of UCAS from opposition, and
- 14:44Speaker 7: it wasn't an easy outcome. As he pointed out, he
- 14:47Speaker 7: was satisfied that nuclear energy was safe, but he'd got
- 14:50Speaker 7: that through the caucus, which was a difficult thing and
- 14:53Speaker 7: aucus when we negotiated it, it was about underpinning our security
- 14:57Speaker 7: for the next century.
- 14:58Speaker 2: I don't how many people who have noticed how clever
- 15:00Speaker 2: Peter Dutton was there. He congratulated Anti Albanzi on his
- 15:03Speaker 2: support of ORCUS and managing to Convince Caucus that nuclear
- 15:07Speaker 2: energy was safe, which of course goes to the labor
- 15:10Speaker 2: campaign against nuclear power. Yeah, being used in the grid Dnika.
- 15:14Speaker 6: Clever work by correct.
- 15:15Speaker 5: I think the problem though with this debate overall, was
- 15:18Speaker 5: it covered the same ground that we've heard time and
- 15:20Speaker 5: time again, and what we actually want to see is
- 15:23Speaker 5: a differentiation in policies and we yet.
- 15:25Speaker 6: To see that, unfortunately.
- 15:27Speaker 5: But look, let's move on, because of course it is
- 15:29Speaker 5: Anzac Day this week.
- 15:31Speaker 9: Now.
- 15:31Speaker 5: I don't know about you, but when I was in school,
- 15:34Speaker 5: it was a day that we celebrated. It was a
- 15:36Speaker 5: day that we paused to.
- 15:37Speaker 6: Remember and it actually had meaning and significance.
- 15:40Speaker 5: We were taught about the history of our ANZACs and
- 15:43Speaker 5: it really really was important. But the question now in
- 15:46Speaker 5: twenty twenty five is how many school students actually now
- 15:49Speaker 5: understand the important meaning behind that day. But there is
- 15:53Speaker 5: now a new push to teach Ossie students about why
- 15:56Speaker 5: war matters. I'm surprised we even have to go there.
- 15:59Speaker 5: But the Center of Indo Pendant Studies adjunct fellow doctor
- 16:02Speaker 5: Fiona Mueller says that students should be discussing the bigger
- 16:05Speaker 5: meaning behind Anzac Day, such as why a free and
- 16:08Speaker 5: democratic country goes to war and why it matters. In
- 16:11Speaker 5: twenty twenty five, she said the number of young people
- 16:13Speaker 5: who would be willing to fight for their country had
- 16:16Speaker 5: decreased to just twenty seven percent. And she's blaming a
- 16:19Speaker 5: lack of young people willing to fight for Australia a
- 16:22Speaker 5: lack of understanding about the core Anzac values which we
- 16:24Speaker 5: all know and love courage, makeship and sacrifice as well
- 16:27Speaker 5: as humor to forge our nation's identity. Now, back in
- 16:32Speaker 5: twenty thirteen, there was quite a disturbing survey which came
- 16:36Speaker 5: out and it actually found that our students find Anzac
- 16:39Speaker 5: day history deadly, boring and irrelevant to their lives. It
- 16:43Speaker 5: found that students are more likely to value indigenous perspectives
- 16:47Speaker 5: learning about the Stolen generation.
- 16:48Speaker 6: At exploring history through refugee stories.
- 16:51Speaker 5: And that is exactly the problem here because what we
- 16:55Speaker 5: are seeing now and I think this is a direct
- 16:57Speaker 5: correlation to this story, is in doctrination in schools, because
- 17:02Speaker 5: kids are being taught not about the values that our
- 17:06Speaker 5: Anzak's left us, and also that soldiers who continue to
- 17:09Speaker 5: fight for us those core values.
- 17:11Speaker 6: Of matship, perseverance.
- 17:14Speaker 5: It's no longer that it is learning about indigenous culture,
- 17:17Speaker 5: it is apologizing to the stolen generation. It is young
- 17:20Speaker 5: children being told no, no, no, it is your fault.
- 17:23Speaker 5: It is your fault. And this is why the culture
- 17:26Speaker 5: wars matter, because this next generation is being brainwashed into
- 17:30Speaker 5: completely thinking that we are the enemy here in this country.
- 17:33Speaker 5: That's why we see the protests on Australia Day, that
- 17:35Speaker 5: is why we constantly see these people wanting to tear
- 17:38Speaker 5: down the colony, as they constantly say. And that's what
- 17:41Speaker 5: I think the key issue here is this is what
- 17:43Speaker 5: the left want, and this is a direct result of
- 17:46Speaker 5: the lefts indoctrination.
- 17:48Speaker 2: They've spent decades reshaping and diluting our traditions and our institutions.
- 17:53Speaker 2: And so now we find ourselves with the Chinese and
- 17:56Speaker 2: the Russians starting to eye off our vast compt which
- 18:00Speaker 2: is completely defenseless, containing rich minerals, and only about a
- 18:05Speaker 2: quarter of our young people say they'd bother to fight
- 18:07Speaker 2: for our country. Well, of course they wouldn't bother fighting
- 18:10Speaker 2: for our country, having been taught, as you said, Danika,
- 18:13Speaker 2: about how terrible our country has been, the illegitimacy of
- 18:17Speaker 2: our country, rather than the Anzac spirit the courage, the sacrifice,
- 18:22Speaker 2: and why it was so important that we defended liberty
- 18:25Speaker 2: and democracy. Of course, human nature being what it is is,
- 18:28Speaker 2: you'd always prefer to hear the negative side of things
- 18:31Speaker 2: and how bad and how evil things were, rather than
- 18:34Speaker 2: the stories of heroism and sacrifice. But of course those
- 18:38Speaker 2: stories aren't even being told. Kids learn the date of
- 18:41Speaker 2: Gallipoli landing, they learn the geography of it, but it's
- 18:45Speaker 2: never explained to them why that battle was so important,
- 18:48Speaker 2: why Australians were so motivated to fight. And we've got
- 18:51Speaker 2: a real problem on our hands at a time where
- 18:53Speaker 2: everybody is saying we live in a very precarious geopolitical situation.
- 18:58Speaker 2: Our young people have been indoctrinated to leave that our
- 19:00Speaker 2: country is bad.
- 19:01Speaker 1: Indeed, no wonderingly twenty seven I'm surprised it's that high. Actually,
- 19:06Speaker 1: twenty seven percent would fight for this country. I wouldn't
- 19:10Speaker 1: fight for this country, and God knows I'm a fighter.
- 19:13Speaker 4: But I'll tell you why.
- 19:15Speaker 1: People want to say, oh, it's complicated, it's nuanced. It's
- 19:19Speaker 1: a culmination of reasons, multifarious reasons as to why every
- 19:24Speaker 1: single Western country cannot recruit to their military. Every single
- 19:30Speaker 1: Western country is struggling to make anywhere near the number
- 19:35Speaker 1: that they're allowed to have by law in their armed forces.
- 19:41Speaker 1: And this is the reason why, in my humble opinion,
- 19:43Speaker 1: and this is also the reason why I say I
- 19:46Speaker 1: would not fight for Australia as it is today.
- 19:50Speaker 4: The answer is, we don't have.
- 19:53Speaker 1: A homogeneous society anymore.
- 19:57Speaker 4: A third of us weren't even born.
- 19:58Speaker 1: Here, and people who come here have divided loyalties. I'm
- 20:03Speaker 1: not blaming them for that. If I came from somewhere else,
- 20:06Speaker 1: my ultimate loyalty would be to my motherland. You can
- 20:09Speaker 1: bet your bottom dollar back. In the seventies, Malcolm Frasier
- 20:14Speaker 1: and Golf Whitlam decided that multicultural Australia was going to
- 20:18Speaker 1: be a multicultural society. We were going to throw out
- 20:22Speaker 1: our homogeneous society. We were not going to stop requiring
- 20:26Speaker 1: people who come here to assimilate.
- 20:29Speaker 4: Instead, now we.
- 20:30Speaker 1: Welcome millions of people from all over the world and
- 20:33Speaker 1: encourage them to keep their own culture, to keep their own.
- 20:36Speaker 4: Set of values.
- 20:37Speaker 1: And they have moved here in the millions, and what
- 20:40Speaker 1: do they do when they get here. They find enclaves
- 20:43Speaker 1: of their own communities and they live there. We do
- 20:47Speaker 1: not have a homogeneous society. We do not have shared values.
- 20:51Speaker 1: How many times have we seen this play out in
- 20:53Speaker 1: our streets over the last couple of years, very precarious
- 20:58Speaker 1: times here in d I'm running out of breath.
- 21:01Speaker 4: I'm so passionate about this.
- 21:03Speaker 1: But I was watching a show recently and every single
- 21:07Speaker 1: ad break was a recruitment for our Australian Defense Force,
- 21:12Speaker 1: and I was like, mate, these guys are going hard.
- 21:15Speaker 1: But in wars of the past, there was no trouble
- 21:19Speaker 1: with recruitment men. Kids were lying about their age to
- 21:23Speaker 1: get to the front lines. Why they fought for countries
- 21:27Speaker 1: that still had homogeneous cultures. When they said I'm fighting
- 21:31Speaker 1: for God and country, they meant one God all the same,
- 21:35Speaker 1: and they also meant my country, my culture. These people
- 21:40Speaker 1: are my people. We share the same values, we share
- 21:44Speaker 1: the same ethos. We are pulling in the same direction,
- 21:48Speaker 1: and that is what I'm going to war for, because
- 21:51Speaker 1: that's not going to change. You mention Russia, you mention China.
- 21:57Speaker 1: You mentioned bricks, which we do not talk enough about.
- 22:00Speaker 1: They are amassing such a huge number of countries that
- 22:04Speaker 1: would be ready to do great damage to us. But
- 22:08Speaker 1: these are homogeneous cultures.
- 22:10Speaker 6: They all hail soitarium. He raise a good point.
- 22:15Speaker 5: I don't think that the problem is is I don't
- 22:17Speaker 5: think we know what we're fighting for anymore. But that's
- 22:20Speaker 5: what and that's what identity I think. I think that
- 22:25Speaker 5: the war is actually now being fought on our land
- 22:29Speaker 5: through these It has become almost like tribalism really when
- 22:33Speaker 5: you think about it, because the divisions in our society.
- 22:35Speaker 6: And I completely agree with you on.
- 22:36Speaker 5: That that people have imported their cultures here that don't
- 22:40Speaker 5: necessarily I'm not talking everybody, some people have imported that
- 22:44Speaker 5: culture here and they do not align with our values,
- 22:48Speaker 5: or our society, or with a Western democracy, and that's
- 22:51Speaker 5: the problem. So that the war is no longer on
- 22:53Speaker 5: an international front. It's like we're fighting a war here
- 22:56Speaker 5: in our own backyard.
- 22:57Speaker 2: We mentioned our values, and the problem is people find
- 22:59Speaker 2: out very difficult to enunciate what our Australian values. And
- 23:03Speaker 2: typically you'll hear our political class say well, diversity is
- 23:07Speaker 2: our strength, but of course diversity is not a strength,
- 23:11Speaker 2: and no one's going to fight for diversity because diversity
- 23:14Speaker 2: is not something you can unify around. So it's because
- 23:18Speaker 2: of our values that we're able to handle diversity. But
- 23:21Speaker 2: diversity in and of itself is not something that anybody
- 23:24Speaker 2: is going to fight for because that's not a unifying feature.
- 23:27Speaker 2: So the problem is we can't identify values, and if
- 23:31Speaker 2: you can't identify values, there's nothing for anyone to fight for.
- 23:34Speaker 2: So we've got to come together around what is our
- 23:37Speaker 2: defining feature. It's not diversity. We're to come back to it.
- 23:41Speaker 1: Well, it's not going to happen for the reasons I
- 23:43Speaker 1: just described. But we know every state and territory in
- 23:46Speaker 1: Australia except for Tasmania, is desperate for police recruits.
- 23:52Speaker 4: Some states have.
- 23:53Speaker 1: Vacancies of fifteen hundreds. Some states have vacancies of two
- 23:58Speaker 1: thousand offices that they're looking to recruit. So one wonders,
- 24:03Speaker 1: has Thailand just unveiled.
- 24:06Speaker 4: The future solution to this problem?
- 24:09Speaker 1: Check out this bad Boy, being hailed as.
- 24:12Speaker 4: The world's first RoboCop.
- 24:15Speaker 1: It's equipped with three hundred and sixty degree cameras for eyes,
- 24:19Speaker 1: facial recognition, weapons detection. This bad Boy can identify suspects,
- 24:24Speaker 1: monitor threats, and sends data directly back to a central
- 24:29Speaker 1: command center in real time. Ladies and gentlemen, we have
- 24:34Speaker 1: seen the future and it is terrifying.
- 24:37Speaker 4: I mean, what could possibly go wrong?
- 24:43Speaker 10: Put Daniel weapon, you won't two seconds to complay.
- 24:49Speaker 4: I think you'd better do what he says, Mitter.
- 24:50Speaker 11: Kenny sense.
- 24:57Speaker 12: Fifteen quarant.
- 25:02Speaker 4: Truly terrifying stuff.
- 25:04Speaker 1: And then we've got Alon Masks, the tech Wizard of
- 25:07Speaker 1: the World, talking about the fact that he's in the
- 25:09Speaker 1: process of putting together a minimum of five thousand Optimius robots.
- 25:17Speaker 11: So this year we hopefully we'll be able to make
- 25:19Speaker 11: about five thousand Optimus robots. We're technically we're aiming for
- 25:28Speaker 11: enough parts to make ten thousand, maybe twelve thousand. We're
- 25:31Speaker 11: succeeding if we get to half of the tenth you know,
- 25:33Speaker 11: half the ten thousand now, but even five thousand robots,
- 25:36Speaker 11: that's the size of a Roman legion, which is like
- 25:40Speaker 11: a little scary thought, Like a whole legion of robots,
- 25:42Speaker 11: I'd be like, whoa.
- 25:45Speaker 1: How long before that thing's running you down and putting
- 25:47Speaker 1: a bolt through your brain?
- 25:49Speaker 4: I mean, these are truly terrifying times.
- 25:52Speaker 1: It's Oh my goodness, I genuinely am not intense.
- 25:57Speaker 6: I am genuinely scared.
- 25:58Speaker 5: Can you imagine coming up again said that this called
- 26:01Speaker 5: a AI police cyborg? I would be terrified if that
- 26:04Speaker 5: thing was staring me down the eye. Apparently it is
- 26:07Speaker 5: extremely tall. It towers over the rest of the force,
- 26:11Speaker 5: and that's.
- 26:11Speaker 6: Apparently a huge giveaway.
- 26:13Speaker 5: It has a three hundred and sixty degree AI camera
- 26:16Speaker 5: for eyes, allowing it to track what is going on
- 26:19Speaker 5: at all times.
- 26:20Speaker 6: I really worry about this personally.
- 26:23Speaker 5: I do not like the idea of safety and security
- 26:28Speaker 5: being dictated by a giant robot. Where is that information going,
- 26:33Speaker 5: who is it filming, where is it filming.
- 26:35Speaker 6: Where does that data go?
- 26:37Speaker 5: There's so many unanswered questions, and it comes back to
- 26:39Speaker 5: the whole issue of artificial intelligence, one that is clearly
- 26:42Speaker 5: unregulated around the world, unregulated here in this country. I
- 26:47Speaker 5: would be very scared, to be honest, I'm very worried
- 26:49Speaker 5: about this.
- 26:50Speaker 2: You wouldn't trust the government with the robotic police officer.
- 26:53Speaker 5: Would you trust the government with a robotic cop that
- 26:55Speaker 5: towers over everybody?
- 26:57Speaker 4: James?
- 26:57Speaker 2: It makes so much sense. My problem with these things
- 27:00Speaker 2: you can't negotiate with them, you can't talk to them
- 27:03Speaker 2: or reason with them, so they're pre programmed. There's no
- 27:06Speaker 2: nuance at all, which is why in twenty twenty, when
- 27:09Speaker 2: the New York Police Department introduced the Digidog, which was
- 27:13Speaker 2: a robotic police dog. Very quickly, residents were up in arms.
- 27:17Speaker 2: It didn't help that they introduced these robotic dogs in
- 27:20Speaker 2: public housing, which just got everybody up in arms. But
- 27:24Speaker 2: the New Yorkers did not put up with this. So
- 27:26Speaker 2: it'd be interesting to see whether thaie people. I can understand.
- 27:30Speaker 2: In China they're using robotic police dogs. They've got a
- 27:34Speaker 2: robotic police sphere that rolls across land and through water
- 27:38Speaker 2: twenty two miles per hour, chasing potential criminals. I'm not
- 27:42Speaker 2: sure whether in democratic nations we would put up with
- 27:46Speaker 2: these things. Hey, we've just had easter, right, and so
- 27:50Speaker 2: get this. The day after Jesus rose from the dead,
- 27:54Speaker 2: Klaus Schwab, head of the World Economic Forum, resigned coincidence.
- 27:57Speaker 4: I think not.
- 27:58Speaker 2: I think not. Klaus Schwab, who, as I said, heads
- 28:02Speaker 2: up the World Economic Forum, announced his resignation with a
- 28:05Speaker 2: statement saying, following my recent announcement and as I enter
- 28:08Speaker 2: by eighty eighth year, I've decided to step down from
- 28:11Speaker 2: the position of chair and as a member of the
- 28:14Speaker 2: Board of Trustees with immediate effect. Now, of course, the
- 28:17Speaker 2: World Economic Forum essentially is a shadow government, exercising influence
- 28:22Speaker 2: without election and policy without consent. Klaus Schwab began in
- 28:27Speaker 2: nineteen seventy one gathering elites from around the world in
- 28:31Speaker 2: Davos to plan how they could implement a globalist society, which,
- 28:37Speaker 2: of course is the enemy of national sovereignty and of
- 28:40Speaker 2: many of the freedoms that we enjoy. Klaus Schwab will
- 28:43Speaker 2: now end his chairmanship of the World Economic Forum, and
- 28:46Speaker 2: I'm proud to say I've not yet eaten bugs. I
- 28:50Speaker 2: do own things. However, I'm not very happy because their
- 28:53Speaker 2: influence has been quite pernicious. Of course, the election of
- 28:56Speaker 2: Donald Trump has started to undermine Klaus schwall globalistic dreams.
- 29:01Speaker 2: His Trump speaking at the World Economic Forum. I don't know.
- 29:05Speaker 2: Maybe this is why Klaus Schwab was chosen to get out.
- 29:09Speaker 9: My administration has taken action to abolish all discriminatory diversity,
- 29:14Speaker 9: equity and inclusion nonsense. And these are policies that were
- 29:18Speaker 9: absolute nonsense throughout the government and the private sector. With
- 29:23Speaker 9: the reason yet somewhat unexpected great Supreme Court decision just
- 29:28Speaker 9: made America will once again become a merit based country.
- 29:33Speaker 9: You have to hear that word merit based country.
- 29:39Speaker 2: When you hear Trump talking like that at the World
- 29:41Speaker 2: Economic Forum, is you realize why Trump was so opposed, Because,
- 29:44Speaker 2: of course Klaus Schwab boasted he had young World Economic
- 29:48Speaker 2: Forum leaders positioned in places of power influence right around
- 29:53Speaker 2: the world, justin Trudeau being one of the most famous.
- 29:56Speaker 2: I think just Sinta Adirn another one in New Zealand.
- 30:00Speaker 2: I don't think this is the end of the world.
- 30:01Speaker 2: It can make Forum by any stretch. I think Claus
- 30:04Speaker 2: Schwab is smart enough to orchestrate a change so that
- 30:08Speaker 2: it continues to exercise influence. But you do have pushback
- 30:12Speaker 2: from people like Trump, from meloo in Argentina, from the
- 30:17Speaker 2: Prime Minister of Italy. So the battle is well and
- 30:19Speaker 2: truly on between nation states and globalist elites.
- 30:23Speaker 1: Venue the arnofficial one World government, I mean, the globalist
- 30:27Speaker 1: will rebrand. There's no way Claruk Schwab is going to
- 30:30Speaker 1: be replaced by someone good.
- 30:32Speaker 4: But this was the guy who.
- 30:34Speaker 1: Told everyone to eat the bugs, who campaigned for climate
- 30:38Speaker 1: de grow through really weird digital policies that everybody else
- 30:43Speaker 1: knows and indeed referred to as digital communism, like as
- 30:48Speaker 1: Central Digital Banking System and all the rest of it.
- 30:52Speaker 1: This guy stood for everything we rail against, and he'll
- 30:56Speaker 1: be replaced by somebody else who does as well. Is
- 31:00Speaker 1: a clip of him acknowledging that it's not working. Everything
- 31:04Speaker 1: I've built, everything I've campaigned for tirelessly. I'm about to
- 31:09Speaker 1: turn eighty eight, and none of it's worked.
- 31:13Speaker 12: You have this anti system movement. What we are seeing
- 31:18Speaker 12: is a revolution against the system. So fixing the pression
- 31:22Speaker 12: system is not enough now, as it is, of course
- 31:28Speaker 12: a anti system which is called libertarianism, which means to
- 31:36Speaker 12: tear down everything.
- 31:40Speaker 4: Which creates.
- 31:42Speaker 12: Some kind of influence of government into private lives.
- 31:50Speaker 1: Yes, exactly, and that's a marvelous thing. And thank god
- 31:54Speaker 1: populist governments are now arising that have pushed back very
- 31:58Speaker 1: comprehensively on the WEF's woke ideologies as well as all
- 32:04Speaker 1: their climate policies, with things like trumpling out of the
- 32:10Speaker 1: parasp Cords Denika, which of course the WEF in the
- 32:14Speaker 1: UN you're basically talking about the same body there. They've
- 32:17Speaker 1: got to know for at least the next four years.
- 32:20Speaker 4: The writings on the wall. Of course it is.
- 32:23Speaker 5: And that's why I think conveniently he's jumped ship. Look
- 32:26Speaker 5: the world Economic Forum, and like other groups like the
- 32:29Speaker 5: United Nations. They're almost like these giant overlords, aren't they.
- 32:33Speaker 5: They don't actually do anything properly for the people. The
- 32:36Speaker 5: WIF once preached that you'll own nothing and you'll be happy. Well,
- 32:41Speaker 5: they are completely detached, let's be realistic from the lives
- 32:45Speaker 5: of ordinary people. You've got Klaus who often wears his
- 32:48Speaker 5: little Game of Thrones outfit if you've seen it. I
- 32:50Speaker 5: don't know why he wears this little black suit that
- 32:53Speaker 5: he wears, but.
- 32:54Speaker 1: On that occasion he was receiving a doctorate degree.
- 32:58Speaker 4: Nobody looks like an honor.
- 33:00Speaker 6: Again again, it goes to the overlord themes. All right, fine,
- 33:03Speaker 6: it was doctor a grave, but it's an overlord thing.
- 33:06Speaker 5: But it is an agenda with a centralized control model.
- 33:10Speaker 5: And the other thing I would also say about Klaus
- 33:12Speaker 5: is is that he actually wrote a book called COVID
- 33:15Speaker 5: nineteen The Great Reset in when he basically said what
- 33:19Speaker 5: a wonderful thing COVID nineteen is for the world.
- 33:22Speaker 6: Again, this is a man so out of touch.
- 33:25Speaker 5: I think that he's jump ship at the right time
- 33:28Speaker 5: because he knows that Donald Trump has come in and
- 33:30Speaker 5: saying we don't want any more of this sort of
- 33:32Speaker 5: nonsense and he's gone.
- 33:34Speaker 2: There is another possibility as to why he's chosen to
- 33:37Speaker 2: get out now, he said, as you pointed out, you'll
- 33:40Speaker 2: own nothing and be happy. Maybe figures you know what,
- 33:43Speaker 2: there's no need for him. Anthony Albanezi has done it
- 33:45Speaker 2: for him. Maybe that's the most increase of own very little.
- 33:49Speaker 5: Maybe that's why he thought, well, look, we've got to
- 33:51Speaker 5: talk about the ABC, don't we, Because guess what they'll
- 33:54Speaker 5: be soon coming to another billboard.
- 33:56Speaker 6: Next you near you.
- 33:58Speaker 5: Yes, they are spending more and more of our taxpayer
- 34:02Speaker 5: dollars to try and promote themselves. This time they've struck
- 34:06Speaker 5: an advertising deal between themselves and Australia's outdoor media company
- 34:11Speaker 5: called oh Media. Oh Media, and we'll see the public
- 34:15Speaker 5: broadcasters news content featured on billboards on street furniture around
- 34:20Speaker 5: the country. And it's going to cost you and I
- 34:23Speaker 5: in between three million to four million dollars annually over
- 34:28Speaker 5: the next four years. It's going to take effect in
- 34:30Speaker 5: the next couple of months. So look what we've got
- 34:32Speaker 5: a situation here now is millions of dollars our money
- 34:36Speaker 5: is now being spent.
- 34:37Speaker 6: So to remind everyone.
- 34:39Speaker 5: That they've got to watch the ABC and that's a
- 34:42Speaker 5: solution to why nobody is watching the ABC. So well
- 34:45Speaker 5: done to the chairman, well done, more waste of our money.
- 34:48Speaker 2: I don't have a problem with this. I mean, overall
- 34:50Speaker 2: they have one point one billion dollars in funding. If
- 34:53Speaker 2: they spend what three million dollars on advertising, that's pretty conservative,
- 34:58Speaker 2: effects vaguely conservative thing about the ABC. But we can't
- 35:02Speaker 2: have it both ways. We can't say no one watches
- 35:04Speaker 2: the ABC and the ABC aren't allowed to let people
- 35:08Speaker 2: know what is available. I think that would be wrong
- 35:11Speaker 2: to do that. The question is whether they're advertising is
- 35:14Speaker 2: misplaced because clearly it's not working, or whether perhaps the
- 35:18Speaker 2: content they're advertising is not what people want.
- 35:21Speaker 13: Why do you have to advertise a free product like
- 35:24Speaker 13: people really not know about the national broadcaster? Really, there's
- 35:28Speaker 13: people living in Australia who need to see ads that
- 35:32Speaker 13: are like watch the ABC.
- 35:34Speaker 6: They are oh what's the ABC?
- 35:36Speaker 4: Never heard of it?
- 35:37Speaker 6: If they don't tune in.
- 35:38Speaker 13: If they don't advertise, I don't product to watch when
- 35:41Speaker 13: it's free and people still aren't taking you up away offer.
- 35:45Speaker 1: In my suburb at the moment, it's that dumping time
- 35:48Speaker 1: where everyone puts their stuff that they don't want out
- 35:51Speaker 1: on the curb, and people come with their cars all
- 35:54Speaker 1: the time. I see them out on my walk literally
- 35:56Speaker 1: just rating the sidewalks.
- 35:59Speaker 4: People love free stuff, But when it.
- 36:01Speaker 1: Comes to the ABC, these guys honestly think spending three
- 36:05Speaker 1: to four million dollars on advertising is going to up
- 36:08Speaker 1: their ratings. They've got Buckley's chance, it's free and people
- 36:13Speaker 1: still don't want you.
- 36:15Speaker 2: I think they're three million dollars advertising is well spent.
- 36:17Speaker 2: It makes sure that I know what I'm not going
- 36:20Speaker 2: to be watching. We're going to go to a break.
- 36:22Speaker 2: When we come back, look at what's making news, including
- 36:25Speaker 2: Peter Dutton with a big announcement on defense, all of
- 36:28Speaker 2: that more in just a moment. Welcome back. Let's look
- 36:33Speaker 2: at what's making news in tomorrow's papers. Will start with
- 36:36Speaker 2: the Queensland Career Mail. The headline there reads Dutton's big
- 36:41Speaker 2: Guns Opposition pledged to spend twenty one billion dollars on defense.
- 36:45Speaker 2: I should point out that's twenty one billion dollars more
- 36:48Speaker 2: than the Labor Party are intending on spending redefense. Peter
- 36:52Speaker 2: Dutton would invest twenty one billion dollars into Australia's defense
- 36:56Speaker 2: program over five years if he's elected Prime Minister, live
- 37:00Speaker 2: thing spending to two point five percent of GDP by
- 37:03Speaker 2: the end of the decade, amid increased competition with China
- 37:07Speaker 2: and Russia in the Indo Pacific. The article goes on
- 37:10Speaker 2: to say that Dutton will announce the injection of an
- 37:13Speaker 2: extra twelve billion dollars over the next four years, with
- 37:17Speaker 2: the remaining nine billion to be spent by twenty thirty,
- 37:21Speaker 2: now with ten days to go to the election. Clearly
- 37:25Speaker 2: the Coalition believe this is their strength national security, and
- 37:30Speaker 2: indeed that's been the case. So he'll accuse Labor of
- 37:33Speaker 2: making Australia less safe, and it's a good argument. I mean,
- 37:37Speaker 2: we've had Chinese warships off the coast of Sydney with
- 37:39Speaker 2: live ammunition being fired. We only know about it because
- 37:43Speaker 2: thankfully a Virgin pilot managed to pick up on it.
- 37:47Speaker 2: We've had Russians wanting apparently to have bases in Indonesia
- 37:52Speaker 2: and Albanesi has not handled any of that transparently or well.
- 37:56Speaker 2: So it's a good argument to make the Labor government
- 37:59Speaker 2: say we're living in precarious times. Well, what are they doing?
- 38:02Speaker 2: They're spending clearly is a lot short of what it
- 38:05Speaker 2: should be on defense. The question lives is whether enough
- 38:09Speaker 2: voters care about this as a singular, singularly important issue
- 38:14Speaker 2: that they would vote for the coalition despite thinking that
- 38:17Speaker 2: Labour are probably better on things like cost of living,
- 38:20Speaker 2: which are probably felt more keenly than the idea that
- 38:23Speaker 2: we may be invaded by a foreign power.
- 38:26Speaker 4: Indeed, two things on this.
- 38:28Speaker 1: Firstly, why would you leave it this late to announces.
- 38:32Speaker 2: Because it coincides with Anzac day?
- 38:34Speaker 6: It's beautiful, but who cares?
- 38:36Speaker 1: Sorry that everybody cares about the poeticism of an election policy.
- 38:41Speaker 1: L You might you might have put that together, but
- 38:44Speaker 1: the average punter reading this headline will not be like, oh,
- 38:48Speaker 1: because it's Ian zach on Friday.
- 38:51Speaker 4: No.
- 38:52Speaker 1: Secondly, I'm sorry, it really doesn't matter what Darton pledges
- 38:58Speaker 1: in my honest opinion, because of the end of the day,
- 39:00Speaker 1: I've been in politics for over ten years. That's not
- 39:03Speaker 1: including my time in media. I've worked for politicians across
- 39:07Speaker 1: the board. Polls get people hopeful, bloody blah dy blah.
- 39:10Speaker 1: At the end of the day, all that matters is
- 39:14Speaker 1: the electoral math, and in order for the Libs to
- 39:17Speaker 1: flip over twenty seats. God himself would have to flex.
- 39:21Speaker 1: I'm sorry, it's just not going to happen this time round.
- 39:25Speaker 4: And you can quote me on election man.
- 39:27Speaker 5: I actually think this is great. I do agree though
- 39:29Speaker 5: with Liz that this should have happened a lot sooner.
- 39:33Speaker 5: Do people care though this late in the game, I'm
- 39:35Speaker 5: not so sure. I don't think it's going to flip votes.
- 39:38Speaker 5: It's a really good policy. We know, like a lot
- 39:40Speaker 5: of experts actually say that we are not we don't
- 39:42Speaker 5: have the capability right now to defend ourselves in the
- 39:44Speaker 5: event of war because our defense is so weak right now,
- 39:48Speaker 5: it's gone woke. We know that there is the recruitment issues.
- 39:52Speaker 5: Great policy, but I just think maybe too little, too.
- 39:55Speaker 2: Late that The other part that he's going to announce tomorrow,
- 39:58Speaker 2: which I did think was interesting, was a new National
- 40:01Speaker 2: Defense strategy, which at first we may roll our eyes
- 40:04Speaker 2: singing on another white paper from the Defense Department. What
- 40:07Speaker 2: will be unique about it, and it was something pushed
- 40:09Speaker 2: for by the late Senator Jim Molan is it won't
- 40:12Speaker 2: be put together by bureaucrats, still be put together by
- 40:14Speaker 2: eminent Australians who have expertise and experience in this area,
- 40:19Speaker 2: and it'll be the first defense strategy in a number
- 40:21Speaker 2: of years reflecting the changed environment. I think that's a
- 40:25Speaker 2: good idea as well, enough to win an election. Probably not, No,
- 40:28Speaker 2: probably not at this point.
- 40:30Speaker 5: Well, let's move on now to the Herald Sun. Their
- 40:34Speaker 5: headline is Dan Crash Hush cash. A cyclist struck by
- 40:38Speaker 5: Daniel and Catherine Andrews SUV has pocketed a secret out
- 40:41Speaker 5: of court settlement worth several hundreds of dollars. Major law
- 40:44Speaker 5: firms Slater and Gordon has hundred thousand. Sorry, major law
- 40:48Speaker 5: firms Slater and Gordon has agreed to hand over the
- 40:51Speaker 5: massive payout to bike boy Ryan Muhlman. Just weeks before
- 40:55Speaker 5: an explosive Supreme Court trial was due to begin, Ryan's
- 40:58Speaker 5: lawyer confirmed a confidential set had been reached over the
- 41:01Speaker 5: families claim that the law firm failed to act in
- 41:03Speaker 5: his best interest in the aftermath of the crash. But
- 41:05Speaker 5: the dispute is far from over with, with the Mulmans
- 41:08Speaker 5: moving to pursue the former Victorian premier and his wife
- 41:11Speaker 5: directly through the courts over the near fatal twenty thirteen crash. Look,
- 41:15Speaker 5: this is a long this has been an ongoing saga. Really,
- 41:18Speaker 5: that has been twelve years. It's been a long time.
- 41:20Speaker 5: It's clearly not going away. Obviously it's difficult to talk
- 41:23Speaker 5: about given it is now legal matter, but it is
- 41:26Speaker 5: not going away. And I think that realistically the public
- 41:29Speaker 5: deserve transparency on this matter. I mean, it's been something
- 41:32Speaker 5: that has dogged him since he was premier.
- 41:34Speaker 2: That's the astonishing thing about this case. And as you said,
- 41:37Speaker 2: it's an ongoing court issue. But for something to be
- 41:40Speaker 2: going on this long, involving such prominent people is quite
- 41:45Speaker 2: quite amazing.
- 41:46Speaker 1: Indeed, to the front page of The Australian now clamped
- 41:49Speaker 1: down on spending, IMF warns, tell us something we don't know.
- 41:54Speaker 1: Australia's next government must rebuild its fiscal buffers, clean up
- 41:59Speaker 1: public to spending and urgently enacts enact tax reform in
- 42:04Speaker 1: preparation for a sharp slow down in economic growth as
- 42:08Speaker 1: Donald Trump's global trade war increases the chance of a
- 42:12Speaker 1: US recession. The International Monetary Fund says, well, thanks for
- 42:17Speaker 1: that grocery list of things that neither of the leaders
- 42:20Speaker 1: have talked about this entire campaign season.
- 42:26Speaker 4: Thank you for that.
- 42:28Speaker 1: It is such a statement of the obvious and great article.
- 42:33Speaker 1: You should read the rest of it. Great work by
- 42:36Speaker 1: Matthew Krenston and Jack Qua. But seriously, now we're getting
- 42:41Speaker 1: advice from the other side of the world for what
- 42:45Speaker 1: the average punter on the street knows. And yet again
- 42:48Speaker 1: we have not heard either of the men running to
- 42:52Speaker 1: be the next prime minister or the current one just
- 42:55Speaker 1: copy paste discuss.
- 42:58Speaker 4: Any of those.
- 42:58Speaker 5: No, it's been like the their elephant in the room
- 43:01Speaker 5: this election campaign. Not one of them have come out
- 43:04Speaker 5: with serious economic policy for this country.
- 43:06Speaker 6: We had Peter Dutton come out.
- 43:08Speaker 5: It was a thought more than anything about to change
- 43:10Speaker 5: the tax system, but it was a thought bubble. There
- 43:14Speaker 5: wasn't anything concrete, and that should have happened at the
- 43:16Speaker 5: start of the campaign.
- 43:17Speaker 6: I do agree.
- 43:18Speaker 5: I just think that there hasn't been any thought given
- 43:20Speaker 5: to how to make deep inroads to try and fix
- 43:23Speaker 5: things in our economy.
- 43:24Speaker 2: Wouldn't you hate to live in a country that was
- 43:25Speaker 2: both militarily weak and economically weak all at the same
- 43:29Speaker 2: time when enemies are circling That would be a terrible thing. Wait,
- 43:33Speaker 2: that's the country we're living in and there's no one
- 43:36Speaker 2: to help.
- 43:37Speaker 1: To the second headline on the OS, I'm sick of
- 43:40Speaker 1: you white people.
- 43:41Speaker 4: Shut up, okay.
- 43:44Speaker 1: The Aboriginal chairman of Wajerk, the corporation established to deliver
- 43:49Speaker 1: Australia's biggest native title settlement, has been accused of screaming
- 43:54Speaker 1: at his chief executive, telling her she had quote better
- 43:57Speaker 1: watch out woman, as you're on noticed end quote. A
- 44:02Speaker 1: fellow Woodjack board member also allegedly shouted at Lisa Dobrin,
- 44:07Speaker 1: who is not Aboriginal, quote I'm sick of you white people.
- 44:10Speaker 4: Sit down and shut up. End quote. Well, this sounds
- 44:14Speaker 4: like it's going well.
- 44:15Speaker 1: The Australian has been told of allegations of intimidation, threats
- 44:19Speaker 1: and wild workplace scenes involving the three remaining directors at
- 44:23Speaker 1: wood Jack, the largest of six Aboriginal corporations created to
- 44:27Speaker 1: distribute the benefits of the one point three billion dollar
- 44:31Speaker 1: Southwest Native tidal settlement in Perth and the state's southwest.
- 44:38Speaker 4: Well, this sounds like it's going marvelously.
- 44:41Speaker 2: The problem, as recorded in the Australian last week, is
- 44:45Speaker 2: that this Aboriginal corporation needs to give consent for major
- 44:49Speaker 2: infrastructure projects in Western Australia. Those have been delayed while
- 44:54Speaker 2: these guys sort themselves out, and as you say, there
- 44:56Speaker 2: seems to be a lot going on there. So it's
- 44:59Speaker 2: been things like another airport with a runway exactly, is
- 45:04Speaker 2: stalled because of infighting in the Indigenous corporation.
- 45:07Speaker 5: Yeah, it sounds like a really great cultural organization to
- 45:10Speaker 5: be working for James.
- 45:11Speaker 1: But you think they would have learned from their cultural
- 45:13Speaker 1: heritage laws.
- 45:14Speaker 4: This is wa. This is the state that.
- 45:17Speaker 1: Made cultural heritage laws in which you needed to get
- 45:20Speaker 1: permission from various elders and bodies and whatever if you
- 45:23Speaker 1: wanted to extend your driveway or dig a hole in
- 45:26Speaker 1: your backyard.
- 45:26Speaker 4: That's how ridiculous it was.
- 45:29Speaker 1: And then they had to trash it within months because
- 45:31Speaker 1: they realized nobody would be able to do anything. Now
- 45:35Speaker 1: they've just created the same problem again, but on a
- 45:38Speaker 1: much bigger scale.
- 45:39Speaker 2: Well, you think labor would learn from the voice, but
- 45:41Speaker 2: now they're instituting treaties all over the company. So there
- 45:44Speaker 2: you go. We're going to go to a break when
- 45:45Speaker 2: we come back. Sunshine Coast Twins. We've gone viral around
- 45:48Speaker 2: the world after an incredible television interview will show you
- 45:52Speaker 2: that in just a moment. Welcome back, Well, Denika and Liz,
- 45:59Speaker 2: I've got twins sons, as you know, and they're twins
- 46:02Speaker 2: and they're close, but Liz, they I know when you're
- 46:04Speaker 2: as close as this pair of Sunshine Coast sisters that
- 46:09Speaker 2: made the news today.
- 46:10Speaker 1: Indeed, Bridget and Paula Powers have gone viral around the
- 46:14Speaker 1: world give an interview after a horror carjacking escapade on
- 46:20Speaker 1: the Sunshine Coast. But the escapade was almost just left
- 46:24Speaker 1: in the background after people had watched this interview, and
- 46:28Speaker 1: once you see it, I won't have to tell you why.
- 46:32Speaker 10: And one guy, he was up there with our mom,
- 46:35Speaker 10: and he went up there and he was coming back
- 46:39Speaker 10: down the wards and he goes, run, he's got a gun.
- 46:44Speaker 10: And oh, our heart started a pound and I said, well, mom,
- 46:48Speaker 10: where's mom? And paul Mama was suck up there by
- 46:53Speaker 10: apparently our bravey mom. She goes, are you all right?
- 46:57Speaker 10: Because he had all bloood his face.
- 47:01Speaker 4: Just absolutely remarkable. The interview went for longer, and not
- 47:06Speaker 4: once did.
- 47:07Speaker 1: They falter, talking over the top of each other, but
- 47:10Speaker 1: saying exactly the same thing in perfect chorus.
- 47:14Speaker 5: I just said, I think they are two beautiful women.
- 47:17Speaker 5: I love this story. I actually find it very heartwarming.
- 47:19Speaker 5: And a bit of background as well their mum actually
- 47:21Speaker 5: was very pressured when they were younger to put them
- 47:24Speaker 5: into a home, but they screamed, and they screamed when
- 47:26Speaker 5: they were apart, so they actually came back together.
- 47:29Speaker 6: And also they have an understanding of birds.
- 47:32Speaker 5: They have a very good wildlife knowledge, which I think
- 47:34Speaker 5: is very sweet when they want more women like this
- 47:36Speaker 5: in the world.
- 47:37Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a nice story. As I said, I've got
- 47:39Speaker 2: twins and they often have their own strange language, but
- 47:41Speaker 2: nothing like that. I saw that clip and just thought
- 47:44Speaker 2: that is incredible. Speaking of incredible, check out the family
- 47:49Speaker 2: photo posted by Joe Biden for Easter and see if
- 47:53Speaker 2: you think it looks a little odd. There's the family
- 47:55Speaker 2: minus Hunter, I should point out or sitting on the
- 47:58Speaker 2: steps of their Delaware home. But does Joe Biden look
- 48:01Speaker 2: a little odd there in his suit, his face made
- 48:04Speaker 2: up for TV, and the way he's sitting there will
- 48:08Speaker 2: is he standing? He certainly doesn't look like he's part
- 48:11Speaker 2: of it, which has led speculation that maybe he's photo
- 48:15Speaker 2: shopped himself into that photograph. It wouldn't be the first time, Liz,
- 48:19Speaker 2: that Joe Biden's done something incredibly odd.
- 48:21Speaker 1: It seems so obvious and Keen observers also notice the
- 48:26Speaker 1: hand if we get it back up for you, the
- 48:28Speaker 1: hand on the young man's shoulder to his left, our right, saying,
- 48:33Speaker 1: whose hand is this?
- 48:35Speaker 4: What what's your being on?
- 48:37Speaker 1: They've clearly, well allegedly, I should say, rip someone out
- 48:41Speaker 1: of the photo and photo shopped either him in their
- 48:44Speaker 1: place or in what was a blank space.
- 48:46Speaker 2: It would be back there seem that way. Well, that's
- 48:49Speaker 2: it from us, good night, stick around. Coming up is
- 48:51Speaker 2: the readA Penney Show
