- 0:01Speaker 1: Line from the Sky New Center.
- 0:03Speaker 2: This is the Kenny Report.
- 0:06Speaker 3: Thanks for joining me. So much happening here and around
- 0:09Speaker 3: the world today. The Papal conclave meets to elect the
- 0:12Speaker 3: next Pope.
- 0:13Speaker 1: I'll cross live to the Vatican in just a moment.
- 0:16Speaker 3: Meanwhile, Peter Darton returns to Canberra and the coalition's internal
- 0:20Speaker 3: battle over nuclear energy goes public, and Indian and Pakistani
- 0:25Speaker 3: fighter jets and missiles explode across the line of control
- 0:29Speaker 3: as these nuclear powers skirmish yet again.
- 0:33Speaker 1: Joining me tonight, Pauline Hansen, former New South.
- 0:35Speaker 3: Wales police Minister, David Elliott, and Liz Storer and Joe Hildebrand.
- 0:39Speaker 3: Let's get into it. It hasn't taken them long. The
- 0:45Speaker 3: Socialists Left are already pushing to take the Albanese Labor
- 0:49Speaker 3: government further to the left.
- 0:51Speaker 1: Even before the.
- 0:52Speaker 3: New ministry's sworn in, Anthony Alberanese's government was already heavily
- 0:57Speaker 3: left leaning by factional allegiance. The Prime Minister, his Foreign
- 1:02Speaker 3: Minister Penny Wong, and Environment Minister Tanya Plebasek are all
- 1:06Speaker 3: members of the Socialist Left faction, as are the Health
- 1:10Speaker 3: Minister Mark Butler and Finance Minister Katie Gallaghan.
- 1:14Speaker 1: Now the election looks like bringing in more.
- 1:16Speaker 3: Left faction MPs, so that the socialists left, long kept
- 1:20Speaker 3: in check by the pragmatists of the ALP right faction
- 1:24Speaker 3: is likely to dominate the new caucus, and they're already
- 1:28Speaker 3: throwing their weight around. The Labor Environment Action Network is
- 1:33Speaker 3: demanding the Albanesi government increases its emission's reduction goals. Instead
- 1:39Speaker 3: of cutting emissions forty three percent by twenty thirty, it
- 1:43Speaker 3: wants a seventy percent cut. Look, this is ridiculous and
- 1:49Speaker 3: if they took it seriously, it.
- 1:51Speaker 1: Had lead to even more economic upheaval.
- 1:54Speaker 3: Truth be known, Australia won't even get to the forty
- 1:56Speaker 3: three percent target. Seventy percent is laughable, but it says
- 2:01Speaker 3: a lot about how ideological the new caucus might be,
- 2:04Speaker 3: how it'll try to try to push the government even
- 2:08Speaker 3: harder to the loopy left. The other angle they're pushing
- 2:11Speaker 3: is to have another go at so called nature positive
- 2:15Speaker 3: laws dressed up.
- 2:16Speaker 1: With a warm and cuddly name.
- 2:18Speaker 3: The nature positive push is actually another globalist move for
- 2:24Speaker 3: additional environmental controls. Yeah, this really is a globalist push
- 2:59Speaker 3: to have United Nations climate goals backed up by strident
- 3:04Speaker 3: national laws that can stop developments and inhibit economic progress.
- 3:10Speaker 3: And even in its last term, Labor tried to go
- 3:12Speaker 3: down this path.
- 3:14Speaker 4: And I'll say that nature positive and net zero objectives
- 3:18Speaker 4: work together. They should go hand in hand because nature
- 3:22Speaker 4: based solutions should be used to achieve both our environment
- 3:27Speaker 4: and our climate goals.
- 3:29Speaker 3: Yeah, tenure plibocek hiding amongst the shrubbery there now, with
- 3:33Speaker 3: a caucus full of socialist Left MPs, the re elected
- 3:38Speaker 3: socialist left Prime minister will be urged to have another
- 3:42Speaker 3: crack at these nature positive laws early days, sure, but
- 3:47Speaker 3: already there are worrying signs. Let's have another look at
- 3:54Speaker 3: a policy I reckon had a major impact on the
- 3:56Speaker 3: election result. It was a bad and irresponsible policy, but
- 4:00Speaker 3: I reckon it bought Labor hundreds of thousands of votes,
- 4:04Speaker 3: maybe millions. And that is the promise to reduce all
- 4:07Speaker 3: Hex's debt. Yeah, Labor will reduce all student loans by
- 4:12Speaker 3: twenty percent, something they spruked heavily in the campaign.
- 4:17Speaker 5: Underdone your HEX debt, childcare, medicine's tafties go up and
- 4:21Speaker 5: he cuts you.
- 4:23Speaker 6: Are you still sating who to vote for?
- 4:25Speaker 7: Hear me out, I'm voting labor executeting to wipe in
- 4:28Speaker 7: twenty percent off everyone's student debt, which means we could
- 4:31Speaker 7: all save literally thousands of dollars.
- 4:34Speaker 6: But you got to vote to make that happen.
- 4:36Speaker 1: Yeah, there was no subtlety, was there.
- 4:38Speaker 3: This was a pure election bribe to the young, and
- 4:41Speaker 3: labor knew it.
- 4:43Speaker 8: If you ask me, what's the biggest and most important
- 4:46Speaker 8: thing that we need to do in higher education, and
- 4:49Speaker 8: it's cutting the cost of university degrees by cutting hex's
- 4:52Speaker 8: debt by twenty percent. That's what we'll do if we
- 4:56Speaker 8: win the next election. And I can tell you in
- 4:58Speaker 8: those nine age seats right around the country that will
- 5:00Speaker 8: determine who sits in this room in a couple of
- 5:02Speaker 8: weeks time. There are tens of thousands of people in
- 5:06Speaker 8: those seats that have got big heck's debts.
- 5:10Speaker 3: Maybe this even helps account for the Greens poor, showing
- 5:13Speaker 3: young voters thinking instead of Greens that go straight to
- 5:16Speaker 3: labor for a cut in their debt.
- 5:19Speaker 1: Have a listen to this talk back caller.
- 5:21Speaker 9: I was stunned that the Liberals didn't recognize from the
- 5:25Speaker 9: very early part of the campaign when Albanys announced this,
- 5:29Speaker 9: I spoke to twenty people last night, mostly under thirty five.
- 5:33Speaker 9: They all voted Labor, some of them, in fact, most
- 5:36Speaker 9: of them are coalition voters normally, but they all voted Labor.
- 5:40Speaker 9: They all want their seven I had worked out because
- 5:43Speaker 9: you know, I know to ask people these questions. It
- 5:46Speaker 9: was between seven and fourteen thousand. They were going to
- 5:49Speaker 9: say each of them and their parents voted the same
- 5:53Speaker 9: way because they wanted their kids to do better.
- 5:56Speaker 3: Now, sure that's not a scientific sample, but the anecdotal
- 5:59Speaker 3: evidence is strong. This was a winner for Labor and
- 6:03Speaker 3: it sets a terrible precedent.
- 6:05Speaker 1: Especially when you remember that it.
- 6:06Speaker 3: Was labor who brought the HEX system in, deciding this
- 6:10Speaker 3: was the best way to fund further education. Now they
- 6:14Speaker 3: use it as a honeypot to buy votes.
- 6:18Speaker 10: They will actually cut what we have said we will
- 6:22Speaker 10: do as our first piece of legislation, benefiting three million
- 6:26Speaker 10: Australians by cutting their HEX debt by an average of
- 6:30Speaker 10: five and a half thousand dollars. They are literally saying
- 6:34Speaker 10: to three million Australians, if you vote Liberal or National,
- 6:39Speaker 10: we will increase your debt.
- 6:42Speaker 3: Yeah, it was reckless stuff, all right, What will they
- 6:45Speaker 3: do next time? Promised to act more student debt. Peter
- 6:49Speaker 3: Dutton called it out during the campaign.
- 6:52Speaker 11: I don't think that young trades person or somebody who's
- 6:54Speaker 11: just paid off their HEX debt should be responsible for
- 6:57Speaker 11: my HEX debt. And that's that's the policy that has
- 7:02Speaker 11: been long standing.
- 7:04Speaker 3: He called it out, but like everything in the Coalition campaign,
- 7:07Speaker 3: we didn't hear enough about it. This policy is a
- 7:10Speaker 3: bonus for many people, no doubt those people who have
- 7:13Speaker 3: had their debt lowered, but it's very unfair for starters.
- 7:18Speaker 3: The debt doesn't disappear, it just adds sixteen billion dollars
- 7:22Speaker 3: of debt to the broader government tab. In other words,
- 7:26Speaker 3: the people who will repay it now are not the
- 7:29Speaker 3: people who have benefited from the university study, but everyone else.
- 7:34Speaker 3: So low paid workers will pay more tax to pay
- 7:37Speaker 3: the debt of students who go.
- 7:40Speaker 1: On to earn much more money than them in the
- 7:42Speaker 1: long run.
- 7:43Speaker 3: People who worked hard or took on a second job
- 7:46Speaker 3: to pay off their student debt, well, now they'll pay
- 7:49Speaker 3: higher taxes for longer to pay off other people's student debt.
- 7:54Speaker 3: It's cynical pollocking, and it's politicking, and it's reckless policy making.
- 8:00Speaker 1: I guess we're used to all of that by now.
- 8:06Speaker 3: Now to what I was saying last night about pathetic
- 8:08Speaker 3: politicking taking the place of political substance when it comes
- 8:12Speaker 3: to the Coalition and their policies.
- 8:14Speaker 1: As you know, if this nation is not going.
- 8:17Speaker 3: To burn coal or burn huge amounts of gas, if
- 8:20Speaker 3: this nation wants to get to net zero and still
- 8:23Speaker 3: have a functioning economy, still have lights that go on
- 8:26Speaker 3: with affordable and reliable power, well we need nuclear energy.
- 8:31Speaker 1: Nothing is surer.
- 8:33Speaker 3: This is a factor of engineering and economics, not politics.
- 8:38Speaker 3: In fact, the only reason that hasn't happened over the
- 8:41Speaker 3: years is politics.
- 8:43Speaker 1: It's been in the too hard basket.
- 8:45Speaker 3: But now that the Coalition has finally seen the light
- 8:47Speaker 3: and started to put the argument and then lost the
- 8:50Speaker 3: election badly for a vast array of reasons. Well because
- 8:54Speaker 3: of that, there are plenty of weak left leaning liberals
- 8:58Speaker 3: who want to run from New Clear listen to this
- 9:02Speaker 3: on the ABC.
- 9:02Speaker 1: Of course, the.
- 9:04Speaker 12: Election result was devastating. We have lost very good members
- 9:08Speaker 12: of Parliament, we have lost our party leader, we have
- 9:11Speaker 12: lost shadow cabinet ministers. So the message from the community
- 9:15Speaker 12: is very very clear, and that's why I believe that
- 9:19Speaker 12: this nuclear policy has to go.
- 9:22Speaker 3: Yeah, the first sound of grape shock, they run for
- 9:25Speaker 3: the hills. Forget the Trump effect, Forget the lack of
- 9:28Speaker 3: economic policies, forget the labor giveaways, forget the horrible campaign.
- 9:33Speaker 1: Blame it all on nuclear, the one.
- 9:36Speaker 3: Courageous, necessary, modern and transformative policy that anybod he heard
- 9:42Speaker 3: about during the election campaign. True to form for her
- 9:46Speaker 3: type of liberal Maria Kovacic wouldn't come onto this program.
- 9:50Speaker 1: To discuss the issues. She prefers the ABC, but have
- 9:55Speaker 1: it listen to this for logic.
- 9:57Speaker 12: Previous liberal government we committed to net zero by two
- 10:00Speaker 12: twenty fifty. We need to achieve that, and we need
- 10:04Speaker 12: to find ways to do that expeditiously. And I think
- 10:07Speaker 12: the primary concern people had was they could see that
- 10:10Speaker 12: this wasn't going to deliver any kind of outcome for
- 10:13Speaker 12: at least fifteen or twenty years.
- 10:17Speaker 3: Excuse me, fifteen or twenty years from now, will be
- 10:21Speaker 3: well before twenty fifty, it'll be twenty forty or twenty
- 10:25Speaker 3: forty five.
- 10:26Speaker 1: Just such inane stuff. That's the whole point.
- 10:30Speaker 3: You will never get to net zero, you will never
- 10:33Speaker 3: get near it without nuclear. That's what the International Energy
- 10:37Speaker 3: Agency and a raft of engineers and scientists tell us.
- 10:41Speaker 1: That's why the UK, South.
- 10:43Speaker 3: Korea, France, Finland, the US, China, India, even Indonesia, and
- 10:49Speaker 3: so on and so on. That's why all the world's
- 10:51Speaker 3: leading economies are either embracing or expanding their use of
- 10:56Speaker 3: nuclear Thankfully, as I pointed out last night, some liberals
- 11:02Speaker 3: have both a brain and a spine, including Tim Wilson,
- 11:06Speaker 3: who was who has now defeated the till leftist Zoey
- 11:10Speaker 3: Daniel to reclaim Goldstein in Melbourne. Wilson was asked about
- 11:16Speaker 3: nuclear when he claimed victory today.
- 11:19Speaker 13: I'm not really going to get into a lot of
- 11:21Speaker 13: the policy discussion right now, but the one I will
- 11:24Speaker 13: make some simple observations. When I was last in Parliament,
- 11:27Speaker 13: I talked. I spoke favorably because in my course and
- 11:31Speaker 13: to belief, believe in the role of nuclear power, not
- 11:35Speaker 13: as an end, but as a beginning.
- 11:37Speaker 1: We talked about this in our campaign launch.
- 11:39Speaker 13: Nuclear power is part of building the future industrial base
- 11:43Speaker 13: of our country. If we don't do that, then we
- 11:47Speaker 13: are saying either one we're going back to coal or
- 11:49Speaker 13: we as a nation are going to end industrialized. That
- 11:53Speaker 13: is not a future I am prepared to accept. I
- 11:56Speaker 13: am about building out the future so that the next
- 11:58Speaker 13: generation can lift their eyes one set higher, one angle higher,
- 12:02Speaker 13: and look further into the horizon. And that's why it's
- 12:05Speaker 13: so important to be have honest conversations with the Australian
- 12:09Speaker 13: people to be part of building out that future and
- 12:12Speaker 13: to make the case not just simply put something out
- 12:16Speaker 13: there and see whether it's going to be tested. We
- 12:18Speaker 13: must fight vehemently, passionately with energy, with courage, because it
- 12:22Speaker 13: comes from who we are and what we believe and
- 12:24Speaker 13: the policy we want to take forward to build out
- 12:26Speaker 13: an alternative vision for this nation.
- 12:29Speaker 1: Yeah, well said Tim.
- 12:31Speaker 3: The parliaments are better already for having him back in it.
- 12:34Speaker 3: Nuclear is simply our only option and the coalition must
- 12:39Speaker 3: stick with nuclear.
- 12:41Speaker 1: Refine the policy. Sure, for instance, it'd be great for
- 12:44Speaker 1: it to.
- 12:44Speaker 3: Be privately funded rather than a government project, but nuclear
- 12:48Speaker 3: energy is an absolute necessity for this nation and it's
- 12:53Speaker 3: pointless trying to pretend otherwise.
- 12:55Speaker 1: And if the Liberals stick.
- 12:56Speaker 3: With a coherent nuclear alternative, then every blackout and every
- 13:01Speaker 3: power bill rise will strengthen their arm and bring their
- 13:05Speaker 3: return to government a day closer.
- 13:11Speaker 1: Let's catch up now with One Nation Leader Pauline.
- 13:13Speaker 3: Hanson, who joins us from Queensland. Good to talk to you, Pauline.
- 13:17Speaker 3: I thought we'd start off with the breaking news that
- 13:21Speaker 3: we got out of Melbourne today.
- 13:23Speaker 1: Tom Connell brought it to us.
- 13:24Speaker 3: Let's have a look how Tom Connall shared this news
- 13:27Speaker 3: earlier this afternoon.
- 13:29Speaker 14: What would he need in the remaining absent votes to
- 13:32Speaker 14: be able to win sixty three percent? That is just
- 13:36Speaker 14: far too high in our performance from everything else that
- 13:39Speaker 14: has happened in this election. So we're assuming lots of
- 13:42Speaker 14: positives to ban from here, and he still would need
- 13:44Speaker 14: sixty three percent. So given that I know there's plenty
- 13:47Speaker 14: of vote left, we are now saying a Labour party
- 13:50Speaker 14: will pick up the seed of Melbourne and Adam Bant,
- 13:53Speaker 14: the Green's.
- 13:53Speaker 1: Leader, will lose the seat of Melbourne.
- 13:56Speaker 3: We do you reckon, Pauline. There is a god Adam Bant,
- 14:00Speaker 3: Green's leader could.
- 14:00Speaker 15: Put well Chris just quietly between you and I. I
- 14:07Speaker 15: was getting ready to come on your program when I
- 14:09Speaker 15: heard the news, and I couldn't help it. I did
- 14:11Speaker 15: a dance around the.
- 14:11Speaker 9: House with my bra and nickers.
- 14:13Speaker 15: And I had to have a gin and tonic.
- 14:14Speaker 7: So I am so excited.
- 14:18Speaker 15: That's the best news I've heard.
- 14:22Speaker 1: I'm waiting. I'm waiting for this to turn up on
- 14:25Speaker 1: TikTok or something, and why does it.
- 14:31Speaker 15: I'm alone, I'm home alone. Honestly, Chris. Their policies, you know,
- 14:40Speaker 15: they whanen I dish out the money, we're going to
- 14:42Speaker 15: actually have all the wind turbines.
- 14:44Speaker 16: But they have no.
- 14:46Speaker 15: Qualm about destroying hundreds and thousands of hectors of Christine
- 14:53Speaker 15: Forest in Australia to put up their wind turbines or
- 14:56Speaker 15: covering land with these solar panels. They want to give
- 14:59Speaker 15: the money to all these people handouts. They're not good
- 15:03Speaker 15: economic managers. They run the country into the ground. They're
- 15:06Speaker 15: an Australian. They won't open up the borders. They want
- 15:09Speaker 15: to give more money to foreign aid run all these things.
- 15:13Speaker 15: They're absolutely hopeless. I work with Mom Flora Parliament. I
- 15:16Speaker 15: can't stand what comes out of their mouth. I'm sorry,
- 15:19Speaker 15: it's so extreme to the left.
- 15:21Speaker 1: Yeah, look, I'm with you that.
- 15:23Speaker 3: You know they want to legalize the hard drugs, but
- 15:26Speaker 3: ban of cigarettes and what else. But the one thing
- 15:31Speaker 3: where I find them morally repugnant is their attitude to
- 15:35Speaker 3: Israel and Jewish Australians. They have been terrible. They're at
- 15:39Speaker 3: fanning the hatred and good riddance to Adam Bant. I
- 15:42Speaker 3: can't wait to see that confirmed by the AEC. While
- 15:45Speaker 3: we're talking about election results, of course, you're waiting to
- 15:48Speaker 3: see whether your daughter gets into the Senate. In Tasmania,
- 15:52Speaker 3: Lee Hanson, they're looking like tipping out potentially Jackie Lamby,
- 15:57Speaker 3: what's your latest mail on that is more likely to
- 16:00Speaker 3: win that seat.
- 16:04Speaker 15: It's very hard to call it this time because we've
- 16:06Speaker 15: got postal votes to come in, and of course if
- 16:08Speaker 15: Libs get over their quota, which I don't think, they'll
- 16:11Speaker 15: get hit the second quota. So therefore it's going to
- 16:14Speaker 15: go to the preferences. So Libs gave Libs and National
- 16:17Speaker 15: Party in Tasmania gave one nation their second preference. So Chris,
- 16:22Speaker 15: it's really down with Wire plus also a couple of
- 16:24Speaker 15: other parties Libertarians plus the shooters gave one nation their
- 16:28Speaker 15: second preference. We'll see where we get get it with
- 16:31Speaker 15: the other one's trumpet of patriots where people put their preferences.
- 16:34Speaker 15: It's all going to come down to preferences. So I'm
- 16:37Speaker 15: not going to call it. I couldn't call it possibly,
- 16:40Speaker 15: but anyway, all the seats, even in Western Australia, in
- 16:45Speaker 15: New South Wales. I think that we've still got a
- 16:47Speaker 15: chance see that possibly pick up a Senate seat, but
- 16:49Speaker 15: it's going to take two to three weeks.
- 16:51Speaker 3: Yeah, it takes a while dishing out all those preferences
- 16:54Speaker 3: in the Senate count. Here is Lee Hanson earlier during
- 16:58Speaker 3: the campaign, speaking to Andrew Bolt.
- 17:01Speaker 16: I feel I don't have a choice anymore. I need
- 17:05Speaker 16: to stand up.
- 17:06Speaker 15: I need to do this for my children and our
- 17:09Speaker 15: children's future, because I just.
- 17:11Speaker 4: I don't see a successful future for them and it
- 17:13Speaker 4: has me greatly concerned.
- 17:16Speaker 1: So we'll have to.
- 17:16Speaker 3: Wait a number of weeks to see whether or not
- 17:18Speaker 3: we get that mother daughter team in the Senate. But
- 17:21Speaker 3: here's what Jackie Lamby said about this threat from One
- 17:24Speaker 3: Nation on election night coverage.
- 17:27Speaker 17: Has it been one in the harder campaigns for you
- 17:30Speaker 17: being up against Lee Hanson.
- 17:34Speaker 16: No, I haven't even looked at Pauline. I just do
- 17:37Speaker 16: the job down here. I don't put her as a distraction.
- 17:41Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, so she's ignoring you, Pauline and One Nation,
- 17:44Speaker 3: and I suppose Lee by extension as well. What's your
- 17:48Speaker 3: assessment of Jackie Lamby? I mean, obviously you want your
- 17:52Speaker 3: own candidate who happens to be your own daughter, to
- 17:55Speaker 3: win that seat. But has Jackie Lamby been useful in
- 17:59Speaker 3: the Senate? Do you what she's been doing?
- 18:03Speaker 15: No, I don't about eighty percent of the time. She
- 18:06Speaker 15: votes with the Greens mainly or the Labor Party. She
- 18:09Speaker 15: didn't have it. She had no idea about the ABCC
- 18:12Speaker 15: bill that we passed. And actually she said to me
- 18:14Speaker 15: after Pulm start again, she said, you're right not to
- 18:17Speaker 15: support the ABCC bill. That's austrained building construction. She said,
- 18:22Speaker 15: because I hope Labor don't get rid of it, which
- 18:25Speaker 15: they did. So she doesn't have any idea. She doesn't
- 18:28Speaker 15: really look into the policies. She's been guided by the
- 18:31Speaker 15: staff in her office. You know, Lee only had a
- 18:34Speaker 15: four week campaign. That all she had. Jackie Lamy's been
- 18:37Speaker 15: in there since twenty thirteen, So if Lee had to
- 18:41Speaker 15: run more of a campaign, Jackie had no booths, she
- 18:44Speaker 15: had no low house candidates to stand, She did no
- 18:47Speaker 15: work down there. People are so disgruntled with her, and
- 18:51Speaker 15: she's against the salmon industry. She's thrown at the bath
- 18:53Speaker 15: you know, the baby of the bath water without you know,
- 18:57Speaker 15: going to consulting. Fine, what can we do to say
- 19:00Speaker 15: five thousand workers to do with the salmon industry?
- 19:02Speaker 3: We will see. There's no good campaigning. Now the votes
- 19:05Speaker 3: have been cast, we await the count. Thanks for joining us, Pauline,
- 19:08Speaker 3: I appreciate it. Sorry to interrupt your dancing and your
- 19:11Speaker 3: gin and tonic. Back again, Pauline Hanson. They are alive
- 19:18Speaker 3: from the home in Queensland and she's apparently been dancing
- 19:20Speaker 3: around the house gin and tonic in hand, celebrating the
- 19:24Speaker 3: demise of Adam Band.
- 19:26Speaker 1: How about that.
- 19:27Speaker 3: Let's cross now to the Vatican, where our reporter Stash
- 19:29Speaker 3: Butler is on standby, waiting for the gathering of the
- 19:35Speaker 3: cardinals the conclave, which begins. Stash, I think we're only
- 19:41Speaker 3: half an hour or so away from the actual startup.
- 19:44Speaker 3: Is walk us through what we're expecting to see over
- 19:47Speaker 3: the next hours.
- 19:51Speaker 18: That's right, Chris, So in just as you said, just
- 19:53Speaker 18: under an hour or so, cardinals will begin attending a
- 19:57Speaker 18: mass in Saint Peter's Basilica behind me. Last few minutes
- 20:00Speaker 18: or so, we've seen some bishops and priests walking in.
- 20:03Speaker 18: This mass is actually open to the public, so we've
- 20:06Speaker 18: also seen public lining up to be part of it.
- 20:09Speaker 18: A mass going by the name of pro Eli gender
- 20:11Speaker 18: Romano Pontifice that's Latin for the election of the Roman Pontiff.
- 20:16Speaker 18: Special Mass for the upcoming election of the Pope, during
- 20:20Speaker 18: which will be presided over by Cardinal Givanni Batista Ray.
- 20:24Speaker 18: He's the same cardinal, same church cardinal that delivered the
- 20:27Speaker 18: homily at Francis's funeral. After that's done, you'll take about
- 20:31Speaker 18: two hours or so in the afternoon, the cardinals, one
- 20:36Speaker 18: hundred and thirty three of them, the cardinals under the
- 20:38Speaker 18: age of eighty who are cardinal electors, will move in
- 20:42Speaker 18: a solemn procession into the Sistine Chapel underneath the frescoes
- 20:47Speaker 18: of Michelangelo, to take a solemn vow to leak no
- 20:52Speaker 18: information about this conclave to the outside world. When that's done,
- 20:58Speaker 18: everyone who is unnecessary will be ordered out with the
- 21:00Speaker 18: Latin phrase extra omnes.
- 21:03Speaker 1: A prayer will be given.
- 21:04Speaker 18: The a senior cardinal will ask if everyone is ready
- 21:08Speaker 18: to begin voting, and then voting will begin today. Chris,
- 21:10Speaker 18: We're only expecting one vote in the afternoon. We're not
- 21:13Speaker 18: expecting to see a two thirds majority from that single vote,
- 21:18Speaker 18: so it's expected that we're going to see black smoke
- 21:21Speaker 18: emerging from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel, the sign
- 21:24Speaker 18: that there's been an inconclusive vote. But for the next
- 21:27Speaker 18: few days we're going to see up to four votes
- 21:29Speaker 18: a day, hoping to produce that magic two thirds majority,
- 21:33Speaker 18: upon which white smoke will pour out, the bells of
- 21:35Speaker 18: s Peters will ring, and the new pote will be
- 21:38Speaker 18: announced from that central balcony just over my shoulder there,
- 21:41Speaker 18: from some Peters Pasilica.
- 21:42Speaker 3: It's just extraordinary procedure, extraordinary history.
- 21:45Speaker 1: You're going to see unfold there.
- 21:47Speaker 3: Obviously, this mass is going to be very elaborate, to
- 21:50Speaker 3: start with a two hour mass, as you say, and
- 21:52Speaker 3: then the procession of the cardinals in this scarlet gowns. Now,
- 21:57Speaker 3: what happens inside the system is always such a mystery.
- 22:01Speaker 1: That's what adds to the suspense.
- 22:03Speaker 3: But in days gone by, of course, cardinals were locked
- 22:06Speaker 3: there permanently until they came out with the decision. But
- 22:09Speaker 3: nowadays they put in a long day, don't they, And
- 22:12Speaker 3: then they're sequested away and undertake not to speak to
- 22:15Speaker 3: anybody and spend the night somewhere else before coming back
- 22:19Speaker 3: for the following day, and this could go on for
- 22:21Speaker 3: quite a number of days, no doubt.
- 22:25Speaker 1: That's right.
- 22:26Speaker 18: So I mean, as you pointed out, that there was
- 22:28Speaker 18: a point in time when they would actually have to
- 22:30Speaker 18: live inside the Sistine Chapel. Now they have the luxury
- 22:33Speaker 18: of living in Casa Santa Marta just over to the
- 22:35Speaker 18: left of the Basilica as you're looking at it. They
- 22:38Speaker 18: will be busted to and from not allowed any contact
- 22:42Speaker 18: with anyone during that journey. It's worth pointing out also
- 22:45Speaker 18: the staff of the Vatican who'll be looking after them
- 22:47Speaker 18: have also been sworn to secrecy about what goes on.
- 22:51Speaker 18: We don't know, as you said, how long this is
- 22:53Speaker 18: going to take. The average that's been kind of calculated
- 22:56Speaker 18: the last ten conclaves is about three days. The last
- 23:00Speaker 18: two that produced Pope Benedict and Pope Francis were only
- 23:03Speaker 18: two days, so we could see a pope by Friday
- 23:06Speaker 18: here in Rome.
- 23:07Speaker 3: Now just finally, look, it's pointless really speculating what you know.
- 23:12Speaker 3: The final choice could be somebody nobody's.
- 23:14Speaker 1: Ever heard of really out of that conclover, But.
- 23:18Speaker 3: Is there a sense that we'll go back to seeing
- 23:20Speaker 3: an Italian pope. It's been a relatively modern and unusual
- 23:24Speaker 3: trait to have popes that have not been Italian. With
- 23:27Speaker 3: a Polish pope obviously and an Argentine pope just de ceased,
- 23:32Speaker 3: is there a sense we'll go back to an Italian
- 23:34Speaker 3: pope or are we looking again elsewhere?
- 23:38Speaker 18: I mean, that's certainly something that's been said that it's
- 23:41Speaker 18: time to kind of return to Italian pope. I think
- 23:43Speaker 18: it was four hundred years of Italian popes or so
- 23:45Speaker 18: before nineteen seventy eight when Pope John Paul the Second was,
- 23:49Speaker 18: you know, raised as the home of the Roman pontiff.
- 23:52Speaker 9: You're right.
- 23:53Speaker 18: In that time we've had a German and Argentine Pietro
- 23:56Speaker 18: pail in the Vatican Secretary of State, an Italian who's
- 24:00Speaker 18: seen as perhaps the front runner. He's on all of
- 24:03Speaker 18: the lists of people's guesses at who it might be.
- 24:05Speaker 18: He's seen as someone a kind of moderate voice, as
- 24:08Speaker 18: steady hand, someone who's not necessarily a kind of very
- 24:11Speaker 18: charismatic speaker, but nonetheless someone who knows how to handle
- 24:14Speaker 18: delicate diplomatic situations and manage overall the bureaucracy of the church.
- 24:21Speaker 18: But there are also candidates from further afield. We could
- 24:23Speaker 18: see the first Asian pope, sorry, Louis Antonio Taglay, the
- 24:28Speaker 18: former Archbishop of Manila, seen as a kind of progressive
- 24:31Speaker 18: continuation of Francis vision, but at the same time also
- 24:35Speaker 18: perhaps the first African pope in living memory, or rather
- 24:39Speaker 18: in modern history, I should say, Peter Turkson have Ghana
- 24:42Speaker 18: seen as one of those. So I mean, really a
- 24:44Speaker 18: huge range of possibilities, but certainly the wish for an
- 24:47Speaker 18: Italian to return is out there.
- 24:49Speaker 1: Great stuff. Steesh.
- 24:50Speaker 3: I've got to say, I'm very envious of you. It's
- 24:52Speaker 3: a brilliant place to be at the best of times.
- 24:54Speaker 3: But what you're going to say overcoming days is going
- 24:56Speaker 3: to be quite extraordinary.
- 24:57Speaker 1: Good luck to you and.
- 24:58Speaker 3: Thanks for joining us. That Sky News report of their
- 25:01Speaker 3: Stash Butler in the Vatican will be extraordinary. The Italians
- 25:05Speaker 3: will be gathered and pilgrims from all around the world
- 25:07Speaker 3: will be gathering there day after day, hour after hour,
- 25:10Speaker 3: hoping for that white smoke, and we'll bring it all
- 25:13Speaker 3: to you live here on Sky News.
- 25:15Speaker 1: Don't miss a beat overcoming days. Now we're going to
- 25:18Speaker 1: get to a break. On the other side, I'm going.
- 25:19Speaker 3: To catch up with the former New South Wales Policemanister
- 25:21Speaker 3: David Elliott get his take on the coalition's woes federally,
- 25:25Speaker 3: but I'll also get his thoughts on the new South
- 25:27Speaker 3: Wales Police Commissioner because she has resigned. Let's get back
- 25:36Speaker 3: to federal politics and the fallout from the election and
- 25:39Speaker 3: Peter Dutton returned to Canberra today. He returned on a
- 25:42Speaker 3: commercial flight, presumably to go back to his office and
- 25:45Speaker 3: pack it up. On his last trips to Canberra, journalists
- 25:49Speaker 3: caught up with him at the airport.
- 25:50Speaker 19: Have a look, let's feel good knowing you're returning to Canberra,
- 25:55Speaker 19: but you don't have to endure another cold winter.
- 25:59Speaker 20: Well' very appreciative for the support and all the good
- 26:01Speaker 20: wishes and I'm very grateful for that.
- 26:04Speaker 1: So thank you.
- 26:05Speaker 15: Who would you like to be the next leader of politics.
- 26:09Speaker 20: I've spoken to my colleagues and the Liberal Party rebuilds
- 26:13Speaker 20: from here and that's as it should Be's the best
- 26:15Speaker 20: model I've seen is where leader's former make a graceful
- 26:21Speaker 20: exit from politics and maintain their graceful silence.
- 26:25Speaker 1: Yeah, good on him.
- 26:26Speaker 3: Peter Dutton's got to clear out his desk, get back
- 26:27Speaker 3: to Coinsland, get on with the next phase of his
- 26:29Speaker 3: life and we wish him all the best. Let's continue
- 26:32Speaker 3: to fall out from the federal election and where to
- 26:35Speaker 3: for the coalition. They've got a hell of a challenge
- 26:37Speaker 3: ahead of them. And my next guest has she had
- 26:39Speaker 3: a few thoughts in the media. He is the former
- 26:41Speaker 3: New South Wales Police Minister, David Elliott, and he joins
- 26:44Speaker 3: me on the desk.
- 26:44Speaker 1: Great to talk to you, David. I'll come to the
- 26:46Speaker 1: New South Wales.
- 26:47Speaker 3: Police Commissioner in a moment, because that's been a massive
- 26:50Speaker 3: story today. But when it comes to the federal coalition,
- 26:52Speaker 3: you make the point that's obvious. I don't think enough
- 26:55Speaker 3: commentators will certainly journalists understand this really, and that is
- 26:59Speaker 3: that the right of center voters are not ideological, they're
- 27:03Speaker 3: not sort of loyal, they're pragmatic, and so they don't
- 27:07Speaker 3: have this sort of loyal to the Liberal Party. If
- 27:09Speaker 3: they don't really think that the Liberals are going to
- 27:11Speaker 3: do the right thing by them, they're very happy to
- 27:13Speaker 3: just to part their vote elsewhere.
- 27:14Speaker 6: Well, that's right, Chris.
- 27:15Speaker 21: I mean, I've been a member of the party for
- 27:17Speaker 21: forty years and I can tell you there is nobody
- 27:19Speaker 21: more ruthless. There is nobody more disappointed. There is nobody
- 27:23Speaker 21: that will attack the Liberal Party more than a traditional
- 27:25Speaker 21: Liberal voter because that's their mindset. Their mindset is we
- 27:29Speaker 21: are the party for excellence, we are the party for aspiration,
- 27:33Speaker 21: and if you're not going to reflect that conservative management style,
- 27:39Speaker 21: well then we'll punish you until you do.
- 27:41Speaker 3: I was wondering the other fact that I've talked to
- 27:43Speaker 3: a few people about is whether because according to the polls,
- 27:47Speaker 3: at least, the swing against the Libs sort of came
- 27:50Speaker 3: late because they had been tracking fairly well, Labor was
- 27:53Speaker 3: tracking up. But do you think it got to the
- 27:55Speaker 3: stage where a lot of voters could see that Labor
- 27:58Speaker 3: were going to remain in government and it was better
- 28:01Speaker 3: to vote for them and make sure they had a
- 28:02Speaker 3: majority than end up with a Labor Greens minority government.
- 28:05Speaker 21: I think the greatest fear for most Australians was that
- 28:09Speaker 21: the Greens would have the balance of power. There's no
- 28:11Speaker 21: doubt about that. And I think with that in mind,
- 28:14Speaker 21: and because they'd seen in living memory minority governments and
- 28:20Speaker 21: how dysfunctional they are, I think there was a very
- 28:23Speaker 21: much there was very much a case of well, listen,
- 28:25Speaker 21: if Albo is going to win, we better make sure
- 28:27Speaker 21: that he can win and govern properly, because I mean,
- 28:30Speaker 21: as a liberal, I wanted it to be a minority
- 28:33Speaker 21: labor government which would go to pastry and in two
- 28:37Speaker 21: years time the parliament would dissolve and would get a
- 28:40Speaker 21: ten year majority. As somebody that's looking at his superannuation
- 28:44Speaker 21: fund every morning, I wanted it to be a majority
- 28:47Speaker 21: government so that Albo didn't have to rely on silly
- 28:50Speaker 21: little children when he needed to get.
- 28:52Speaker 1: Legislat doubt it's better for the country.
- 28:55Speaker 3: Now, look, there's lots of mistakes from the coalition, so
- 28:57Speaker 3: we know it was a poor campaign. We know they're
- 28:59Speaker 3: economic policies weren't well thought through. But I've got to
- 29:02Speaker 3: get your thoughts on the Trump effect. I think that
- 29:05Speaker 3: was massive and also the labor policy I've highlighted a
- 29:09Speaker 3: lot as a direct electoral bribe, and that is the
- 29:12Speaker 3: forgiveness of twenty percent of Hex's debts.
- 29:14Speaker 1: Give us your thoughts on those.
- 29:15Speaker 2: Two, I think.
- 29:16Speaker 21: I mean, I think HEXT was in the top ten.
- 29:19Speaker 21: I don't think it was in the top three.
- 29:20Speaker 2: I think the.
- 29:20Speaker 21: Top issue was, of course our ability to market Peter Dutton,
- 29:25Speaker 21: who's a personal friend of mine. But let's face it,
- 29:28Speaker 21: some politicians just can't be sold. I think the Trump
- 29:31Speaker 21: effect was good three months ago, but a lot of
- 29:35Speaker 21: Australians found out that he wasn't exactly the friend that
- 29:38Speaker 21: we thought he would be, particularly conservatives who thought that
- 29:41Speaker 21: he was going to be somebody that would be looking
- 29:44Speaker 21: out for us. And of course I think that the instability,
- 29:48Speaker 21: the threat of instability with those polls saying that there
- 29:50Speaker 21: was going to be a minority government, pushed a lot
- 29:53Speaker 21: of people into the labor camp thinking that that was
- 29:55Speaker 21: going to be their best chance of seeing a government
- 29:59Speaker 21: that could manage the economy, manage the government efficiently.
- 30:03Speaker 3: Alright, There's been big news in New South Wales today
- 30:05Speaker 3: with the Police Commissioner Karen Webb announcing that she's resigning.
- 30:10Speaker 3: She's had a controversial tenure, a lot of trouble when
- 30:13Speaker 3: it comes to a public persona and dealing with the
- 30:16Speaker 3: public through the media. Heres Skye uses a Julia Bradley summarizing.
- 30:20Speaker 2: Some of that.
- 30:22Speaker 19: Her leadership was called into question when ninety five year
- 30:25Speaker 19: old great grandmother Claire Nowland was taser by serving police
- 30:29Speaker 19: officer at her Couma nursing home. The Forbes's initial press
- 30:33Speaker 19: release issued hours after missus Nowland was hospitalized, made no
- 30:37Speaker 19: mention of a taser. Web took three days to front
- 30:41Speaker 19: the media, and when she did, she admitted she had
- 30:44Speaker 19: not watched the bodycam footage of the incident. That slow
- 30:47Speaker 19: response was replicated after Sydney couple Jessebaird and Luke Davies
- 30:52Speaker 19: were allegedly murdered by a police officer.
- 30:55Speaker 16: Her response, there will always be does that hate? Isn't
- 30:59Speaker 16: that what Taylor says?
- 31:01Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 31:02Speaker 3: Now, Karen Remembers has announced that she's resigning from the
- 31:05Speaker 3: commissioner's position and retiring as a former police minister. You'll
- 31:09Speaker 3: know all the key people involved in this. Is it
- 31:12Speaker 3: a good move for Karen Webb to resign?
- 31:14Speaker 21: I don't think it's a good move for any police
- 31:16Speaker 21: commissioner to leave before the tenures up.
- 31:18Speaker 6: She was bullied out of that job.
- 31:19Speaker 21: But let me tell you somebody who has worked in
- 31:22Speaker 21: the has been a soldier, who's been in the private sector,
- 31:24Speaker 21: has been in politics. There is no more brutal job
- 31:27Speaker 21: in Australia than the new South Wales Police Commissioner. Everybody
- 31:30Speaker 21: says his opposition leaders the toughest job.
- 31:31Speaker 22: No.
- 31:31Speaker 21: The new South Wales Police commissioner, the one who I
- 31:33Speaker 21: served side by side with Mick Fuller. The stuff that
- 31:36Speaker 21: he had to put up with would make mister t.
- 31:39Speaker 3: Cry just quickly because nearly out of time you said
- 31:41Speaker 3: she's bullied out of the job, bullied by whom and
- 31:44Speaker 3: in what way?
- 31:45Speaker 21: I think she was bullied by her own peers out
- 31:47Speaker 21: of the job. And I think she probably surrounded herself
- 31:50Speaker 21: with people that didn't give her the support that she
- 31:52Speaker 21: needed to. She probably didn't bring in the people that
- 31:55Speaker 21: she should have brought in. And she had my full support,
- 31:58Speaker 21: as she did with the ESME Catley. I know she
- 32:01Speaker 21: had the premiers full support, but it is it's not
- 32:05Speaker 21: one of those jobs that you can take without expecting
- 32:08Speaker 21: to be brutally dealt with every day of the week.
- 32:12Speaker 3: Thanks for joining us, David, really appreciate your insights, David Elliott.
- 32:15Speaker 3: They're the former New South Wales Police Minister. We've got
- 32:17Speaker 3: to get to a break. On the other side, we're
- 32:19Speaker 3: going to talk about the Indian and Pakistani fighter jets
- 32:22Speaker 3: and missiles have been exploding across the line of control
- 32:25Speaker 3: as these nuclear powers are skirmishing yet again, what next look.
- 32:34Speaker 3: There have been some terrible terrorist attacks against Indians in
- 32:38Speaker 3: Kashmir in recent weeks, and as a result, last night
- 32:42Speaker 3: we saw India missiles and send fighter jets into Pakistani
- 32:46Speaker 3: controlled territory across the line of control overnight and Pakistan's also.
- 32:51Speaker 1: Hit back at this. Here's the latest on the situation
- 32:55Speaker 1: from NBC News.
- 33:05Speaker 7: That is one of three cities in Pakistan struck by
- 33:08Speaker 7: two dozen missiles launched by India, according to Pakistan's military,
- 33:11Speaker 7: India describing them as strikes on terrorist camp now. Pakistan
- 33:16Speaker 7: says the strikes killed at least eight people, including at
- 33:18Speaker 7: least two kids, and injured thirty five people. Pakistan's air
- 33:22Speaker 7: force says they have already responded by shooting down three
- 33:25Speaker 7: Indian jets.
- 33:27Speaker 3: Let's bring in Malcolm Divis, who's senior analysts with the
- 33:29Speaker 3: Australian Strategic Policy Institute.
- 33:31Speaker 1: Joining us live from Canberra. Thanks for joining us, Malcolm.
- 33:34Speaker 3: The line of control in Kashmir, this is a flashpoint,
- 33:37Speaker 3: of course, has been for.
- 33:38Speaker 1: Many, many decades.
- 33:40Speaker 3: Just how worrying though is this clash saying the militaries
- 33:44Speaker 3: involved two nuclear powers, of course.
- 33:49Speaker 2: Exactly.
- 33:50Speaker 5: And I think that any time you have a situation
- 33:52Speaker 5: like this where India has retaliated for a terrorist attack
- 33:56Speaker 5: that seems to have been had packed some sort of
- 33:59Speaker 5: Pakistan involvement.
- 34:01Speaker 2: You have the potential for an escalatory cycle.
- 34:04Speaker 5: It's no other words, India has attacked Pakistan today in
- 34:07Speaker 5: terms of hitting those terrorist sites in Pakistan controlled Kashmir
- 34:11Speaker 5: as well as Pakistan itself. The Pakistani government in Islamabad
- 34:15Speaker 5: will now be under tremendous pressure to retaliate, and so
- 34:19Speaker 5: therefore I think you could see that retaliation happening in
- 34:22Speaker 5: the next twenty four thirty six hours and then India
- 34:26Speaker 5: would then be under pressure to respond somehow. So there
- 34:29Speaker 5: is that risk of an escalatory cycle that intensifies the
- 34:33Speaker 5: tensions and increases the risks.
- 34:35Speaker 3: Just reacquainting myself with the terrain today, just when you
- 34:39Speaker 3: look at where all this is unfolding, where the line
- 34:42Speaker 3: of controlled and this contentious territory is. It's so close
- 34:46Speaker 3: to the Pakistani capital Islamabad, which I think just increases
- 34:50Speaker 3: the tension and the risk of mistakes here.
- 34:55Speaker 2: Exactly.
- 34:55Speaker 5: And you know, when you look at how Pakistan sees
- 34:58Speaker 5: its defense.
- 35:00Speaker 2: Doctrine, it doesn't.
- 35:02Speaker 5: Have the ability really to defend Pakistani territory in depth.
- 35:07Speaker 5: And that's why it's tended to rely heavily on tactical
- 35:10Speaker 5: nuclear weapons for defending Pakistan in the event of a
- 35:14Speaker 5: major Indian attack into Pakistan. We're not talking about that
- 35:19Speaker 5: sort of scenario here where you have the Indian army
- 35:21Speaker 5: invading Pakistan, but we are talking about the prospect of
- 35:25Speaker 5: tet for tat retaliation between both sides that could generate
- 35:30Speaker 5: increasing tensions. So it is a serious situation, and I
- 35:33Speaker 5: would hope that both India and Pakistan take a step
- 35:36Speaker 5: back from the brink and see the wisdom of de
- 35:40Speaker 5: escalating things.
- 35:41Speaker 1: Donald Trump was asked about this today. Here's what he
- 35:43Speaker 1: had to say.
- 35:45Speaker 2: It's a shame.
- 35:46Speaker 23: We just heard about it, just as we were walking
- 35:48Speaker 23: in the doors of the Oval, just heard about it.
- 35:52Speaker 23: I guess people knew something was going to happen based
- 35:54Speaker 23: on a little bit of the past. They've been fighting
- 35:57Speaker 23: for a long time. You know, they've been fighting for
- 36:00Speaker 23: many many decades and censuries. Actually, if you really think
- 36:04Speaker 23: about it, No, I just hope it ends very quickly.
- 36:09Speaker 3: Yeah, to what extent can other nations and international pressure
- 36:12Speaker 3: keep Pakistan and India restrained in this situation? Or is
- 36:16Speaker 3: it something they really just settle themselves and further to that,
- 36:20Speaker 3: can non state actors exploit this?
- 36:22Speaker 1: Now?
- 36:23Speaker 3: Can there be terrorist groups that deliberately inflamed tensions by
- 36:27Speaker 3: launching attacks?
- 36:27Speaker 6: Now?
- 36:29Speaker 5: Look, I think certainly you will see the US, you
- 36:32Speaker 5: will see China. Potentially some of the European partners of
- 36:35Speaker 5: India engage diplomatically to try and de escalate things, to
- 36:40Speaker 5: try and create some sort of agreement that allows an
- 36:43Speaker 5: off ramp for both sides to de escalate. So that's
- 36:47Speaker 5: almost certain to happen. In terms of your point about
- 36:49Speaker 5: non state actors, I think that's a possibility that India
- 36:52Speaker 5: would need to be on guard for there are many
- 36:56Speaker 5: actors that are involved in the Kashmir Jamu dispute that
- 37:00Speaker 5: might see this as an opportune time to strike.
- 37:04Speaker 2: But it's not certain that would happen.
- 37:05Speaker 5: And I think that what everyone will be focusing on
- 37:07Speaker 5: is making sure that both India and Pakistan recognize the
- 37:12Speaker 5: value of de escalation and avoiding this escalatory cycle that
- 37:16Speaker 5: could then lead to extreme scenarios where maybe nuclear weapons
- 37:20Speaker 5: come into play.
- 37:21Speaker 1: Indeed, now briefly, we are nearly out of time. But
- 37:23Speaker 1: while I've got you to get your thought got to
- 37:25Speaker 1: get your.
- 37:25Speaker 3: Thoughts on Gigiping turning up in Moscow a summit with
- 37:28Speaker 3: Vladimir Putin in coming days.
- 37:30Speaker 1: The eyes of the world will be on this.
- 37:32Speaker 3: Australia, among others, ought to be deeply concerned about this.
- 37:37Speaker 1: New alliance, if you want to call it that.
- 37:41Speaker 5: Look what you are seeing emerge, and I think very
- 37:43Speaker 5: clearly is present is an axis of authoritarian states comprising China, Russia,
- 37:49Speaker 5: Iran and North Korea, all working together, all coordinating against
- 37:53Speaker 5: the West. So actions that Russia is taking against NATO
- 37:57Speaker 5: in the form of hybrid warfare are being exploed by
- 38:00Speaker 5: China and so on and so forth. And you have now,
- 38:02Speaker 5: obviously the Victory Day celebrations in Moscow to celebrate the
- 38:06Speaker 5: ending of the war on the Western front.
- 38:09Speaker 2: End the Second World War.
- 38:10Speaker 5: Gears in town for that, but he's also meeting with
- 38:13Speaker 5: Putin to strengthen that access of authoritarian states. And what
- 38:17Speaker 5: we are facing is a very serious global challenge from
- 38:20Speaker 5: Moscow and Beijing in particular, that is directed against democracy
- 38:26Speaker 5: as a system of governance and against our Western liberal values.
- 38:30Speaker 5: And so this is one aspect of a global confrontation
- 38:33Speaker 5: between democracy on the one hand and authoritarianism on the other.
- 38:37Speaker 2: And Australia should be worried about this as well.
- 38:39Speaker 1: Yeah, well expressed Malcolm. Thanks so much for joining us.
- 38:41Speaker 3: Malcolm Davis here, who's the senior analyst at to ASPY
- 38:44Speaker 3: in Canberra.
- 38:45Speaker 1: A great worry is it.
- 38:46Speaker 3: It's a dangerous world and we're a country still running
- 38:49Speaker 3: around with diesel submarines and we don't reckon we're up
- 38:52Speaker 3: to running nuclear power.
- 38:54Speaker 1: Nothing to be worried about it.
- 38:56Speaker 3: Coming up next to Liz Storer and Joe Hildebram, we'll
- 38:59Speaker 3: talk about Adam ban losing his seat. We are wrangling
- 39:07Speaker 3: this week, of course with Liz Sturer.
- 39:09Speaker 1: She's here late debate co host. She's on my right,
- 39:11Speaker 1: she's shifted to She's always been on my right, don't
- 39:13Speaker 1: worry about that, but she normally sits there.
- 39:16Speaker 3: Joe Hildeman, you've always been on my left.
- 39:19Speaker 1: I'm the centsious guy.
- 39:21Speaker 6: Hey.
- 39:22Speaker 1: It's kind of uncanny.
- 39:23Speaker 3: Right as the conclave gathers at the Vatican, we find
- 39:26Speaker 3: out that there is a god.
- 39:27Speaker 1: Adam bent has lost his seat.
- 39:29Speaker 6: What's your reactions to Jesus.
- 39:30Speaker 24: This is the greatest election result all of him for
- 39:33Speaker 24: lab This is we've got rid of all the Greens,
- 39:36Speaker 24: pretty much. Ryan in Brisbane is still sort of you
- 39:39Speaker 24: know between the in the balance. Zoe Daniel gone in Goldstein,
- 39:44Speaker 24: like Monique Ryan is.
- 39:45Speaker 6: Going to go. That samp is closing.
- 39:47Speaker 24: From about one thousand just last night to three hundred
- 39:51Speaker 24: and sixty five.
- 39:51Speaker 6: And now Adam Bant has lost his seat in Melbourne.
- 39:54Speaker 24: He has held this since twenty ten, won with liberal preferences.
- 39:57Speaker 24: I might add, but you know, let's let buy god
- 40:01Speaker 24: and this is I mean a friend of mine, well.
- 40:05Speaker 1: That labor one now with liberal preference.
- 40:07Speaker 24: Thank you very much. It's nice that we're all friends again.
- 40:10Speaker 24: But this is just a phenomenal result. It represents the
- 40:14Speaker 24: electoral wipeout of the Greens in the lower House. I mean,
- 40:17Speaker 24: pity the poor member for Ryan if it happens to
- 40:20Speaker 24: be agreed, Like what do I do now.
- 40:23Speaker 1: That what's so good about this?
- 40:24Speaker 3: Because Zoe Daniel, Manique Ryan, they are the hardest left
- 40:27Speaker 3: of the Tills. So it's really been a backlash against
- 40:30Speaker 3: these hard left extremists in Melbourne one hundred percent.
- 40:34Speaker 25: And we were all watching what was going to happen
- 40:36Speaker 25: to the Tills. We all discuss the fact that this
- 40:38Speaker 25: whole hole we're going to be so different. We're going
- 40:40Speaker 25: to be transparent. We're just going to be this whole
- 40:43Speaker 25: other class of politician. You can only pull that trick once.
- 40:47Speaker 25: It's a one trick pony, and the results speak for themselves.
- 40:51Speaker 25: People weren't falling for it a second time round. Well,
- 40:54Speaker 25: people had shown over.
- 40:55Speaker 16: The course of the last.
- 40:57Speaker 25: Term what they actually stood for and just weren't going
- 41:00Speaker 25: to give him a second gong.
- 41:02Speaker 3: Well, Paul Kenning was great at creating word images for
- 41:05Speaker 3: us to explain the economy on his East political.
- 41:08Speaker 1: Point of view.
- 41:09Speaker 3: I'm about to show you what Pauline Hanson told me
- 41:12Speaker 3: earlier this hour, and there's a word image here about
- 41:15Speaker 3: how she celebrated when she found out what had happened
- 41:18Speaker 3: to Adam Band.
- 41:19Speaker 15: Have a look just quietly between you and I. I
- 41:23Speaker 15: was getting ready to come on your program when I
- 41:25Speaker 15: heard the news, and I couldn't help it. I did
- 41:27Speaker 15: a dance around the house my bra and Nickers, and
- 41:29Speaker 15: I had to have a Gin and tonic.
- 41:31Speaker 7: So I am so excited.
- 41:34Speaker 15: That's the best news I've heard that.
- 41:39Speaker 17: A or without a Gin and tonic, bra and Nickers
- 41:43Speaker 17: and a gin and tonicle, A lot of people wore them.
- 41:51Speaker 3: This is something I never would have thought i'd hear
- 41:53Speaker 3: directly from Pauline Hansen when I was standing reporting outside
- 41:57Speaker 3: the furious protesters, because she did this week thirty years ago.
- 42:01Speaker 1: Amazing stuff. It is amazing stuff.
- 42:03Speaker 3: Now, another Green who lost his seat isn't very happy
- 42:08Speaker 3: about so the way he was treated in Parliament.
- 42:10Speaker 1: Have a listened to this, I'll be honest.
- 42:13Speaker 26: One of the things I'm quite happy about at the
- 42:14Speaker 26: moment is I don't have to spend more time in
- 42:16Speaker 26: the House of Representatives because like, basically every time I
- 42:19Speaker 26: stood up, I got screamed and yelled at. Like in
- 42:22Speaker 26: terms of a workplace, it was bloody, awful and frankly
- 42:26Speaker 26: a lot of the times miserable.
- 42:28Speaker 3: Oh come on, Max Harden, Hey, well, I mean, this
- 42:32Speaker 3: is a party that blocked Labor's housing policy for months
- 42:34Speaker 3: and months and months and months and months.
- 42:36Speaker 6: This is a housing spokesman who.
- 42:38Speaker 24: I believe actually was opposing more housing being developed in
- 42:42Speaker 24: his own electra at the same time as complaining that
- 42:44Speaker 24: it wasn't enough housing and so yes, you are going
- 42:47Speaker 24: to copy it. And I'm told by Labor sources that
- 42:52Speaker 24: the housing issue was the number one most toxic thing
- 42:55Speaker 24: about the Greens, even over and above their anti semitism,
- 42:58Speaker 24: So that really bit into the elector. And that's why
- 43:01Speaker 24: you saw, if anything, more convincing result in Griffith than
- 43:05Speaker 24: in Brisbane, which Labor was very sure of winning.
- 43:08Speaker 6: So that's politics, Bud.
- 43:11Speaker 1: Isn't this a g isn't this a gen Z thing?
- 43:13Speaker 3: To complain that in politics there were opponents yelling you
- 43:17Speaker 3: across the chamber.
- 43:19Speaker 25: Well, we've heard plenty of women bring up this same complaint,
- 43:22Speaker 25: and I think there's snowflakes as well. The bottom line is,
- 43:25Speaker 25: don't get into politics if you can't be yelled at
- 43:29Speaker 25: and abused to some extent, because that is the name
- 43:32Speaker 25: of the game. People don't go to Parliament to hold
- 43:34Speaker 25: hands and sing kumbayah.
- 43:36Speaker 16: They are political opponents.
- 43:38Speaker 25: There is a lot of argibarji and whenever one of
- 43:40Speaker 25: these stories comes out, because he also shared about how
- 43:43Speaker 25: he felt like throwing up, or I think he did
- 43:45Speaker 25: throw up on one occasion when some Labor guys had
- 43:49Speaker 25: been screaming at him in the chamber and that really
- 43:52Speaker 25: affected him. At the end of the day, just don't
- 43:54Speaker 25: get involved. Just don't get involved. You just going to
- 43:57Speaker 25: end up embarrassing yourself. And doing the same as him,
- 44:01Speaker 25: and many many tears have been shared, and I'm always
- 44:04Speaker 25: just like you're in the wrong job.
- 44:06Speaker 3: Maybe next week, instead of having the Wednesday wrangle, we're
- 44:08Speaker 3: gonna have the Wednesday ring out and we can all
- 44:10Speaker 3: just share our stories when life was tough for us
- 44:13Speaker 3: and when our job was tough. One bloke who's really
- 44:16Speaker 3: whether more attacks than most in politics is the former
- 44:20Speaker 3: Opposition leader Peter Dutton. Here he is strolling through Canberra's
- 44:25Speaker 3: airport today, obviously a sad and forlorn figure, but he
- 44:28Speaker 3: did it with dignity. Obviously, he's got to go back
- 44:31Speaker 3: to Canberra to unpack his office and clear up a
- 44:33Speaker 3: few things. That's pretty much all he's got to do.
- 44:35Speaker 3: And he didn't want to buy into any debates Joe. Obviously,
- 44:40Speaker 3: just dignified silence is what he's after at the moment.
- 44:42Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 44:43Speaker 24: I think obviously his concession speech was incredibly gracious. I
- 44:47Speaker 24: really feel for Peter Dutton. I think he's a decent bloke.
- 44:50Speaker 24: I don't think that he is the monster or the
- 44:52Speaker 24: bully the sections have met, the media and politics have
- 44:56Speaker 24: tried to make him out to be. I think he
- 44:58Speaker 24: was led on a merry dance by some people who
- 45:01Speaker 24: kept telling him to go harder and you know, be
- 45:03Speaker 24: stronger and harder and more conservative on this. And we
- 45:07Speaker 24: now know from all the research and the post mortem
- 45:10Speaker 24: will show it again that these positions actually really hurt him.
- 45:13Speaker 6: With the electorate. So yeah, it's all over petted.
- 45:16Speaker 24: If anything, though, I think it is more merciful that
- 45:18Speaker 24: he doesn't have to sit around a yeah yeah for
- 45:20Speaker 24: another three is having it all climbed over.
- 45:23Speaker 6: So I wish him all the best.
- 45:24Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 45:25Speaker 3: Yeah, they got to try and make use of him
- 45:26Speaker 3: somehow unofficially in the party. But off he goes and
- 45:30Speaker 3: does something else. I think just as much as being
- 45:33Speaker 3: encouraged to sort of toughen up on a few issues.
- 45:36Speaker 3: When you read about the advice he was getting to understandably,
- 45:39Speaker 3: you've got to freshen up.
- 45:40Speaker 1: You've got to be personal. You've got to be light.
- 45:41Speaker 3: You know it's impossible, you know, you have to be
- 45:46Speaker 3: you have to be applausible, you have to be authored.
- 45:48Speaker 1: Be likable.
- 45:49Speaker 16: Now the very word. That's what I say all the time.
- 45:52Speaker 25: So the poor guy was being told, we've got to
- 45:54Speaker 25: soften your image, got to soften your image. Then you
- 45:56Speaker 25: had parts of the base being like, no, you need
- 45:58Speaker 25: to go harder, you need to be more a Trumpian all.
- 46:01Speaker 25: You make so many mistakes when you just stop being yourself.
- 46:05Speaker 25: There has to be a level of you know what,
- 46:07Speaker 25: I'm trying everything out the door, all the bits and
- 46:10Speaker 25: pieces of advice, and I'm simply going to be authentic.
- 46:13Speaker 16: That way, people won't.
- 46:14Speaker 25: Be watching me and thinking this guy's not legit.
- 46:18Speaker 16: He was trying to be two things to too many people.
- 46:20Speaker 25: And you know what they say, once you try to
- 46:22Speaker 25: have a message for everyone, you end up having a
- 46:24Speaker 25: message for no one.
- 46:25Speaker 1: Now I want to leave Australian politics.
- 46:28Speaker 3: Will keep on this for days and weeks to come,
- 46:29Speaker 3: no doubt, but I want to duck to the US,
- 46:31Speaker 3: and I want to show you a little video that's
- 46:33Speaker 3: been put out by the former Prime minister now, of course,
- 46:35Speaker 3: our ambassador to Washington, Kevin Rudd. And this video goes
- 46:40Speaker 3: for a while. I'll just show you a clip of it,
- 46:42Speaker 3: but it's quite incredible. It's well produced, it's probably smart
- 46:45Speaker 3: from Australia's point of view, but it's basically Kevin Rudd.
- 46:48Speaker 1: Telling America, I E.
- 46:49Speaker 3: Donald Trump, don't worry, We're all in on America, mate.
- 46:52Speaker 1: We're doing all we can to help you.
- 46:54Speaker 6: Have a look.
- 46:55Speaker 22: So, whether it's Australian companies creating jobs and innovation, Australian
- 47:00Speaker 22: capital supercharging US businesses, or our steadfast commitment to a
- 47:05Speaker 22: safe and secure Indo Pacific, we in Australia are investing big.
- 47:10Speaker 1: In America and we're just beginning.
- 47:14Speaker 3: Yeah, how about an Australian investment creating American jobs.
- 47:18Speaker 24: So basically, dear Donald Trump will do whatever you want.
- 47:22Speaker 6: But look, it is absolutely true.
- 47:23Speaker 24: I mean, I know you were talking before about this
- 47:25Speaker 24: sort of you know, new sort of access of authoritarian
- 47:28Speaker 24: regimes that is absolutely genuinely terrifying. I don't want to
- 47:31Speaker 24: fear among them, but it is genuinely scary. And unless
- 47:34Speaker 24: we have America as a counterweight to that, the United
- 47:36Speaker 24: States as the leader of the free world and acting
- 47:39Speaker 24: in concert with its fellow allies, then we could be
- 47:43Speaker 24: in a whole lot of trouble. So we need to
- 47:44Speaker 24: make sure we stay on board with America. Trump's pretty crazy,
- 47:47Speaker 24: but you know he's better than the other lights, so
- 47:50Speaker 24: we better stay sweet.
- 47:51Speaker 3: Just quickly before I get a word from you, Liz,
- 47:53Speaker 3: to wrap up, I'll show you that cryogenics does work
- 47:55Speaker 3: because Joe Biden's given his first in you.
- 47:57Speaker 1: Have a look. Look God, he's got to say.
- 48:00Speaker 27: The way we talk about now that well, it's just
- 48:05Speaker 27: the Gulf of America. Maybe we're going to have to
- 48:08Speaker 27: take back Panama, Maybe we need to acquire Greenland, maybe
- 48:13Speaker 27: Canada should be if what the hell's going on here?
- 48:17Speaker 3: Yeah, well Biden's having trouble working it out.
- 48:20Speaker 25: Well Trump, it still doesn't pass up the opportunity every
- 48:24Speaker 25: time he gets it to.
- 48:25Speaker 16: Be like, look at everything I've done.
- 48:26Speaker 1: Biden couldn't even walk up a flight of stair.
- 48:29Speaker 25: Look what I've done within one hundred days. So it's
- 48:31Speaker 25: still going two ways, this dogfight.
- 48:33Speaker 24: Kevin rud just relates the video so he supports America
- 48:36Speaker 24: buying Greenland.
- 48:38Speaker 1: Kevin Run's got a mega head on apparently. Thanks for
- 48:41Speaker 1: joining us. I really appreciate it. We'll see you tomorrow night.
- 48:44Speaker 1: Here's Peter Fridlin.
