- 0:09Speaker 1: Jesus the Reformed.
- 0:13Speaker 2: Tonight the Prime Minister doesn't tell the truth about a
- 0:17Speaker 2: disastrous visit to a Sydney mosque, and I'll tell you
- 0:21Speaker 2: why that means trouble. Also tonight the government bits scores
- 0:24Speaker 2: of petrol stations have run out of fuel while they
- 0:27Speaker 2: ran our threats to destroy the drinking water of its neighbors.
- 0:31Speaker 3: Eight arm you are fired. You are familiar with this sentence.
- 0:35Speaker 3: Thank you for your attention to this matter.
- 0:38Speaker 2: So much more, including Pauline Hanson on a stunning election
- 0:42Speaker 2: triumph on Saturday.
- 0:44Speaker 1: What will she be up to next?
- 0:47Speaker 2: But first, we've seen last week that Pauline Hanson's one
- 0:51Speaker 2: nation revolution is real. The result in South Australia's election
- 0:55Speaker 2: one nation getting more votes than the Liberals should finally
- 0:59Speaker 2: in the fan to see among some Liberals, especially that
- 1:02Speaker 2: one nation supporting the polls that wouldn't be repeated in
- 1:05Speaker 2: an actual election. In fact, some in the fed Liberal
- 1:10Speaker 2: leadership still seem to think that one Nation will somehow
- 1:14Speaker 2: melt away, even after it stole almost half the Liberals
- 1:17Speaker 2: vote one perhaps three seats of South Australia's Upperhouse and
- 1:21Speaker 2: at least two in the Lower House. This is actually
- 1:24Speaker 2: the opposition's deputy Senate leader still not listening.
- 1:29Speaker 4: I don't think that as the Liberal Party we should
- 1:31Speaker 4: be focusing on one nation. We've seen the rise and
- 1:33Speaker 4: fall of one nation on numerous occasions around the country,
- 1:36Speaker 4: whether that be in Queensland or some of the activities
- 1:40Speaker 4: in Canberra.
- 1:43Speaker 1: Keep telling yourself these fantasies, I.
- 1:46Speaker 2: Mean really, but other Liberals, of course, some of the
- 1:48Speaker 2: parties right, they don't need reminding that the party's brand
- 1:53Speaker 2: is toxic. One South Australian Senator Alexantik did not even
- 1:57Speaker 2: rule out being the next coalition in to defect to
- 2:01Speaker 2: one nation if the Liberals did not change direction.
- 2:04Speaker 1: Would you join one nation?
- 2:06Speaker 5: Alexandik, I don't, look Rowan, I don't rule anything out ever,
- 2:10Speaker 5: because it's stupid to do so in times change. I
- 2:12Speaker 5: haven't had a conversation with Pauline about that.
- 2:15Speaker 1: I just haven't.
- 2:16Speaker 5: But you know, look I don't. I'm a Liberal. I've
- 2:20Speaker 5: joined as a Liberal. I have no intention of going anywhere.
- 2:23Speaker 5: But you know, as I kept saying that, the answer
- 2:26Speaker 5: to that is not yet.
- 2:29Speaker 2: Now Antick won't be alone if he does the effect
- 2:32Speaker 2: because I'm tipping some other shock moves to the One
- 2:37Speaker 2: Nation Party, but it was a sworn of silence. Now,
- 2:39Speaker 2: of course, One Nation is an existential threat to the Liberals,
- 2:44Speaker 2: in particular in South Australia. The Liberals could be down
- 2:46Speaker 2: to just five or succeeds, although you've got to say,
- 2:49Speaker 2: what else did you expect from a party that until
- 2:51Speaker 2: recently was led by a liar who turned out to
- 2:53Speaker 2: be a coach sniffing supplier of illegal drugs. But all
- 2:57Speaker 2: this has a bigger picture. One Nation is also a
- 3:02Speaker 2: threat to labor. Even if Labor in South Australia had
- 3:05Speaker 2: such a popular and effective premiere that it didn't suffer
- 3:08Speaker 2: much this time. One Nation also threatens labor around the
- 3:12Speaker 2: country because it appeals to working class voters the Labor
- 3:17Speaker 2: used to call its own.
- 3:19Speaker 6: The Labor Party was gaining upper middle class voters and
- 3:23Speaker 6: wealthy voters in central or Eastern Adelaide, whilst One Nation
- 3:27Speaker 6: was gaining working class votes in those northern seats.
- 3:32Speaker 2: Now think about that, Labor is now the party of
- 3:34Speaker 2: the privileged and One Nation the party of the poor,
- 3:38Speaker 2: with the Liberals in the middle getting eaten alive by both,
- 3:41Speaker 2: which reason One Nation represents voters that can't afford Labour's
- 3:44Speaker 2: global warming religion, its religion of the upper classes or
- 3:48Speaker 2: the higher power prices that that religion brings, and it
- 3:51Speaker 2: certainly can't afford the mass immigration which changes ours their suburbs,
- 3:55Speaker 2: not the rich suburbs their suburbs.
- 3:58Speaker 1: In fact, one nation did come very.
- 4:00Speaker 2: Close to stealing a seat from Labor even in this election,
- 4:03Speaker 2: the seat of Light in Adelaide's North and Premier Peter
- 4:06Speaker 2: malinowskers well, he made clear that he knew one nation
- 4:11Speaker 2: threatened Labor.
- 4:13Speaker 1: Look not he had ahead of themselves. Here there are
- 4:16Speaker 1: you know why? They're obviously clearly big questions for the
- 4:18Speaker 1: Liberal Party.
- 4:19Speaker 7: We shouldn't be shy from putting the mirror up to
- 4:22Speaker 7: ourselves and asking what more we can do, particularly an
- 4:24Speaker 7: outer suburban Adelaide and regional South Australia.
- 4:30Speaker 2: And he's for me what was perhaps one of the
- 4:33Speaker 2: most bizarre sites on election nights on Saturday, the Liberals right,
- 4:37Speaker 2: they get absolutely smashed.
- 4:40Speaker 1: Yet it's the Labor.
- 4:41Speaker 2: Leader, not the Liberal one, who then re expressed that
- 4:45Speaker 2: my party had better change by becoming more patriotic and
- 4:49Speaker 2: waving the flag that Pauline Hanson has been wrapping herself in.
- 4:53Speaker 7: We can and we should wave our flag with pride,
- 4:59Speaker 7: knowing that Aussie patriotism sometimes means sitting with a stranger
- 5:05Speaker 7: and having a cuppa or a frothy and arguing about
- 5:11Speaker 7: the footy, not our faith.
- 5:16Speaker 2: Now, of course there's easy for him to say, you know,
- 5:18Speaker 2: let's be more patriotic. Wave that flag, flag singular. Note
- 5:22Speaker 2: that he said that flag singular or great, but that
- 5:26Speaker 2: was in fact labor just gas lighting One Nation supporters.
- 5:29Speaker 2: Mananowska is suggesting they are actually racers who should just
- 5:33Speaker 2: sit with a stranger over a cuppa or a beer
- 5:36Speaker 2: and argue about the footy and not religion. But we
- 5:39Speaker 2: saw Prime Minister Anthony Alberdes himself just as Friday, sitting
- 5:43Speaker 2: in a Sydney mosque, prepared to talk about anything except religion,
- 5:48Speaker 2: only to be abused as a murderer by Muslims.
- 5:50Speaker 8: There like communication with them.
- 6:01Speaker 9: They about the issues affecting our community.
- 6:05Speaker 1: We call the.
- 6:05Speaker 2: Mirable, you called them, And the Prime Minister's reaction yesterday
- 6:10Speaker 2: to that and to One Nation's win, suggests he also
- 6:14Speaker 2: still doesn't get it about One Nation, even after the
- 6:17Speaker 2: Bondai massacre. Here he is yesterday at a Vietnamese community event.
- 6:23Speaker 10: There are some, including some in political life, want to
- 6:27Speaker 10: turn back the clock to an Australia that is no
- 6:30Speaker 10: longer who we are, and we need to call out
- 6:34Speaker 10: those people, and we need to continue to cherish our
- 6:39Speaker 10: diversity as a strength for our nation, which it is.
- 6:46Speaker 2: There you go again that old labor life. Diversity is
- 6:49Speaker 2: in fact a challenge, right, How does the government make
- 6:53Speaker 2: sure we stay united when we're so divided by race, religion, politics,
- 6:58Speaker 2: mass immigration, what have you? Which is exactly what we
- 7:02Speaker 2: see now, that division and that fear of that division.
- 7:07Speaker 2: And it's not because One Nation supporters don't want to
- 7:10Speaker 2: talk football with immigrants.
- 7:12Speaker 1: If only was that simple.
- 7:14Speaker 2: In fact, that that same dinner Albani's was again preaching
- 7:18Speaker 2: the racial division that drives many One Nation supporters spare.
- 7:23Speaker 10: It's important to acknowledge that we're the exception of First
- 7:27Speaker 10: nations people where all either migrants or descendants are migrants.
- 7:34Speaker 2: I mean, for heaven's sake, every single person on this
- 7:39Speaker 2: continent is here because they all their ancestors came here
- 7:44Speaker 2: from somewhere else without exception. It includes averagines. All of
- 7:50Speaker 2: us are descended from humans who came out of Africa
- 7:54Speaker 2: and many averages today also have ancests is more recently
- 7:57Speaker 2: around from Europe. I mean, this is the most famous
- 8:00Speaker 2: alleged aborige in Australia. Professor Bruce Pasco is Anthony Albinezi
- 8:05Speaker 2: seriously saying this man is a descendant from immigrants himself.
- 8:10Speaker 2: Except the points I make here, you know, factual, based
- 8:13Speaker 2: on reason and a belief, an appeal to our common humanity.
- 8:17Speaker 2: How many liberal politicians dare even now make those points,
- 8:21Speaker 2: dare say that we must fly one flag, not three,
- 8:25Speaker 2: you know, two race flags already as well, not like
- 8:28Speaker 2: the Prime Minister of the Australian flag almost hidden at
- 8:30Speaker 2: the back as if in shame. Now when liberals on
- 8:36Speaker 2: the left, like Anne Russell and I showed you before,
- 8:39Speaker 2: when they say that the liberals, oh, we can't move
- 8:42Speaker 2: to the right and be like one nation, tell me
- 8:46Speaker 2: what exactly is so right wing to be proud of
- 8:50Speaker 2: your country, to be proud of your flag, to want
- 8:54Speaker 2: everyone treated equally regardless of their race and ancestry.
- 9:01Speaker 1: It's not moving to the right to be all of that.
- 9:03Speaker 2: I mean, even a labor premier has just said the
- 9:05Speaker 2: left must be more patriotic, So liberals, I mean It's simple,
- 9:11Speaker 2: isn't it. They should just say they're not moving left
- 9:14Speaker 2: or right or to the center after this, when they
- 9:17Speaker 2: should be moving to a position of taking pride in
- 9:22Speaker 2: our country and making it feel home to us all,
- 9:29Speaker 2: a place where we're judged not by our race, but
- 9:32Speaker 2: our character and our love of this land. Now, I'll
- 9:39Speaker 2: come back later in the show to Anthony Alberty's this
- 9:41Speaker 2: disastrous visit to lukember Mosque, because I can't believe the
- 9:45Speaker 2: lies he told about that and what he said and
- 9:48Speaker 2: what we saw is so very telling. But to One
- 9:51Speaker 2: Nation's stunning result in the South Australian electorals, this sticked
- 9:54Speaker 2: with that One Nation leader paul In Hanson joins me. Now,
- 9:59Speaker 2: paul In Hanson, great to see you again. Congratulations. By
- 10:03Speaker 2: the way, counting is still going on. How many seats
- 10:06Speaker 2: do you expect to win?
- 10:10Speaker 11: Well, hopefully, I'll keep my fingers crossed. Three in the
- 10:13Speaker 11: Upper House and we're in the counting for about four
- 10:16Speaker 11: Lower House seats. But we just have to see how
- 10:18Speaker 11: the preferences go. Andrew, it's hard to tell at this
- 10:21Speaker 11: time because they're saving provisions in the legislation for one
- 10:26Speaker 11: only vote, so they won't include in the vote on
- 10:28Speaker 11: say night, so they've been pushed to one side. But
- 10:31Speaker 11: that was a low tide mark, so we'll see once
- 10:33Speaker 11: they go back and recount these again. So it's going
- 10:36Speaker 11: to be an interesting how it pans out.
- 10:41Speaker 1: Now.
- 10:42Speaker 2: Obviously the result proved that the polls were right dead on.
- 10:46Speaker 2: Many Liberals didn't believe it. Your supporting the polls was
- 10:52Speaker 2: translated to support of the ballot box. What does this
- 10:55Speaker 2: tell you about one nation's future? About the by election
- 10:57Speaker 2: in Farah in May, the federal by election and then
- 11:01Speaker 2: the Victorian election after that.
- 11:07Speaker 11: Well, it comes down to the performance at Corey and
- 11:10Speaker 11: the other elected members in Parliament do in South Australia
- 11:13Speaker 11: to ensure that we are working hard for the people
- 11:16Speaker 11: of South Australia as Malcolm and I and Sean Bell
- 11:20Speaker 11: and Tyrone Whitten and Barnaby Joyce are doing in the
- 11:23Speaker 11: Federal Parliament. We've proven the people that were out there
- 11:26Speaker 11: fighting for their rights and believes and you know, listening
- 11:29Speaker 11: to Nick kay To say that we're a winger party,
- 11:32Speaker 11: winges and we've got no policies, you know, he's a
- 11:34Speaker 11: liberal card caring member and of course he's not going
- 11:37Speaker 11: to praise us for what we've achieved over the years,
- 11:40Speaker 11: and I've led a lot of the policy and the
- 11:43Speaker 11: agenda for both the Liberal and the Labor Party over
- 11:46Speaker 11: the years. I was the first one to come out
- 11:48Speaker 11: against the Voice. Also, you know my opposal to the
- 11:51Speaker 11: COVID nineteen jab then I've got the cod of Conduct
- 11:55Speaker 11: for the sugarcane growers. I got the Senator inquiry up
- 11:59Speaker 11: into the banking system which led to the Royal Commission
- 12:02Speaker 11: the Family Law Act. There it goes on and on
- 12:05Speaker 11: what we have been able to achieve in this Parliament
- 12:08Speaker 11: for the people, the policies have put out in mass
- 12:11Speaker 11: migration with the one that led the charge on that
- 12:13Speaker 11: and against the net zero that's another one nation. We've
- 12:17Speaker 11: been firmly against that, the scam that's going on. So
- 12:21Speaker 11: people are turning to one Nation because they've fed up
- 12:23Speaker 11: the major politic parties. There's sick and tired of listening
- 12:26Speaker 11: to the elitists and they think that, you know, the
- 12:29Speaker 11: average person out there is being forgotten and I felt
- 12:32Speaker 11: that on the ground. I felt it on the ground
- 12:35Speaker 11: in South Australia and when I went to Ulbury and
- 12:37Speaker 11: the biggest support is coming from the young ones. They
- 12:40Speaker 11: want their country back, and that's what I'm going to do.
- 12:44Speaker 11: I'm going to get Austraya back. You know, I don't
- 12:46Speaker 11: want to go back to what the fifties and sixties.
- 12:49Speaker 11: But I tell you what, the a lot of things
- 12:50Speaker 11: that happen there, less crime, the value is the moral
- 12:53Speaker 11: value is the family unit. All these things is something
- 12:56Speaker 11: to be cherished. When I turn around and look at
- 12:59Speaker 11: our society today, you can't say what's a male or female?
- 13:03Speaker 11: Everything else going on, It's just ridiculous. Our education levels.
- 13:06Speaker 11: Kids can't read or rite. They've got no future, you know,
- 13:09Speaker 11: owning your own home.
- 13:11Speaker 12: What is wrong to.
- 13:11Speaker 11: Fight for these things? And that's what the average person out.
- 13:14Speaker 1: There wants, Pauline.
- 13:18Speaker 2: But in the end, you've helped to destroy the Liberals
- 13:22Speaker 2: to South Australia. Not that they needed much help. I
- 13:24Speaker 2: think they were dead ducks anyway. You've helped to destroy
- 13:27Speaker 2: the Liberals, not defeat labor. Now does this tell you
- 13:33Speaker 2: that in future you and the Liberals need to get
- 13:36Speaker 2: your heads together and make a deal on preferences to
- 13:39Speaker 2: help each other across the line when you're running against
- 13:42Speaker 2: slaver candidates.
- 13:46Speaker 11: Andrew, I never helped destroy the Liberals. They've destroyed themselves
- 13:51Speaker 11: right throughout just about every state in the nation bar Queensland.
- 13:56Speaker 12: And we worked with the Liberals.
- 13:57Speaker 11: Actually we gave the Christopherly government in Queensland eleven seats
- 14:03Speaker 11: so he could form government. We did work with them
- 14:05Speaker 11: in preferences. I doubt whether the Liberal Party and the
- 14:09Speaker 11: National Party will give us preferences in the Seed of Pharah.
- 14:13Speaker 11: I think they'll give them to the climate the Teal there,
- 14:18Speaker 11: the Independent who's only a teal climate change person, because
- 14:22Speaker 11: they're just so obsessed with destroying one nation.
- 14:26Speaker 12: As I've sort of long work with me.
- 14:28Speaker 11: You know, it's not about you know, I want to
- 14:31Speaker 11: get the country back to a quality for all astrands,
- 14:34Speaker 11: get rid of all the rubbish.
- 14:35Speaker 12: They're the ones that have drifted so far to the left.
- 14:38Speaker 12: Labor white people don't want what.
- 14:40Speaker 11: They're offering if they have got any policies. So this
- 14:44Speaker 11: is what I've been trying to drag them back. Why
- 14:46Speaker 11: do you think they got rid of net zero? It's
- 14:48Speaker 11: because one nation. Why do you think they went with
- 14:51Speaker 11: the voice one nation to pose it? Because one nation
- 14:54Speaker 11: was there leading the way.
- 14:56Speaker 12: They've lost their way.
- 14:57Speaker 11: They don't understand how the Australian people are hurting, the
- 15:02Speaker 11: cost living, the unemployed, the people that are living in
- 15:05Speaker 11: cast the families, and they have this elitist attitude.
- 15:09Speaker 12: It's so frustrating.
- 15:13Speaker 2: So if the Liberals came up to you and said
- 15:15Speaker 2: let's have a preference steal, let's what preferences, you'd be saying.
- 15:18Speaker 12: Sure, of course, Andrew.
- 15:22Speaker 11: Every election I've always put the Greens absolute last and
- 15:27Speaker 11: the Labors next last.
- 15:30Speaker 12: So the Liberals need to work with me.
- 15:32Speaker 11: And you know in some of those seats say there
- 15:34Speaker 11: they put the Greens and even the Independent ahead of
- 15:38Speaker 11: one nation in South Australia and Ashton her and she
- 15:43Speaker 11: had no intentions wanting to work with one nation. I
- 15:46Speaker 11: hear this all the time from then. As I said,
- 15:49Speaker 11: if it comes down to the numbers at the next election,
- 15:52Speaker 11: if they require the numbers to form government, I'm quite
- 15:55Speaker 11: happy to do it. What I did say, I don't
- 15:58Speaker 11: want to be in this coalition like thet Partier then
- 16:01Speaker 11: are shutdown, can't push their own policies, their.
- 16:04Speaker 12: Views, can't say anything. You're shut down.
- 16:07Speaker 11: I'm not going to put myself in that position, but
- 16:10Speaker 11: I will give them supply and I would give them
- 16:12Speaker 11: confidence by all means, but I don't want any MINISTERI
- 16:15Speaker 11: or positions where they will dictate to me and tell
- 16:18Speaker 11: me what I can say or can't say.
- 16:23Speaker 2: Pauline Hanson, thank you so much for your time. Thank
- 16:26Speaker 2: you to the Political Panel. Michael Kroger, former Victorian Liberal
- 16:31Speaker 2: President and former Laby Senator in Cabinet Minister Steve Conroy.
- 16:35Speaker 2: Michael One Nation coming second in the South Strian election,
- 16:38Speaker 2: second in votes, not in seats. It seems how much
- 16:43Speaker 2: will politics in Australia be changed by this?
- 16:47Speaker 13: Well, it'll change a lot, you know. I thought Malinowskis
- 16:51Speaker 13: was right. You can't ignore what's happened to pretend they're
- 16:56Speaker 13: just going to go away or there this is a
- 16:58Speaker 13: flesh and the plan or just a protest part. That
- 17:01Speaker 13: would be political ignorance of the highest regard. It's a
- 17:05Speaker 13: challenge now for the Liberal Party and I don't know
- 17:07Speaker 13: what they're waiting for at a federal level. I mean,
- 17:09Speaker 13: Andrew were a year from the last election. Almost the
- 17:11Speaker 13: next federal elections, I dodon eate eight months probably no
- 17:13Speaker 13: em next year, likely December next year. There's a bilaction
- 17:18Speaker 13: coming up in a few weeks. They urgently need to
- 17:20Speaker 13: release major policies. Otherwise, what are people voting on in
- 17:26Speaker 13: the Pharao by election. We probably probably lose that if
- 17:29Speaker 13: we don't announce a major directional change in terms of
- 17:32Speaker 13: our policies and what we stand for. And that starts
- 17:36Speaker 13: with our number one brand, equity Andrew, which is the
- 17:38Speaker 13: economy and what we're going to do about the tax system.
- 17:42Speaker 13: So if I were a federal coalition, I'd be announcing
- 17:44Speaker 13: almost straight away that from here on in every single
- 17:47Speaker 13: government payment is going to be means tested. For obvious reasons,
- 17:52Speaker 13: the welfare system should be for those that need it
- 17:54Speaker 13: and secondly as a measure towards doing something about the
- 17:58Speaker 13: appalling debt levels in this country.
- 18:02Speaker 1: I'll come back to you on that one.
- 18:04Speaker 2: But Steve Conroy policies in Australia, how has it been
- 18:09Speaker 2: changed by this? Because it's not just a challenge to
- 18:13Speaker 2: the Liberals.
- 18:16Speaker 14: I mean Malanaskis was right. Firstly, congratulations, just brilliant. I've
- 18:22Speaker 14: been lucky enough to know him for a very long
- 18:24Speaker 14: time and he is an absolute gun when it comes
- 18:27Speaker 14: to understanding the people of South Australia, and I have
- 18:30Speaker 14: high hopes that one day he'll decide to go federal
- 18:33Speaker 14: because he's exactly the sort of leader that the country would.
- 18:37Speaker 1: Need down the track.
- 18:39Speaker 14: But in terms of the policies that Pauline Hanson's been
- 18:45Speaker 14: pushing on, anti immigration, wanting I think possibly as little
- 18:50Speaker 14: as zero immigration.
- 18:52Speaker 1: Now that is flat earth stuff.
- 18:54Speaker 14: Even Angus Taylor wants to try and argue that there
- 18:57Speaker 14: needs to be some migration. The business community understands that
- 19:00Speaker 14: needs to be migration.
- 19:01Speaker 15: Uh.
- 19:02Speaker 14: And so the simple knee jerk anti immigration debate is
- 19:07Speaker 14: absolutely on the Albany's government talking about reducing it. I'm
- 19:11Speaker 14: sure Taylor will go further, but you can't beat zero.
- 19:15Speaker 14: So here's Taylor's real doloment. He knows it's economic stupidity
- 19:19Speaker 14: to do it, but he's going to try and thread
- 19:21Speaker 14: that nettle between saying labor doing too much and where
- 19:25Speaker 14: Pauline is, which is at zero. So that's that's a
- 19:29Speaker 14: big area. But I mean one nation didn't have an
- 19:32Speaker 14: education policy in South Australia, e action, a health policy,
- 19:36Speaker 14: never crime police policy.
- 19:39Speaker 1: They were running.
- 19:40Speaker 2: On retigation the election that's and capitalized.
- 19:45Speaker 1: Well, this is the whole thing. The whole people have
- 19:47Speaker 1: been left behind.
- 19:50Speaker 2: Yeah, but again see he was Steve Michael Stevens already talking.
- 19:54Speaker 2: All right, you know Labour's going to have to do
- 19:56Speaker 2: something too about immigration. Cut cut, cut, and the issue
- 20:00Speaker 2: was how much to cut. But the public has been
- 20:03Speaker 2: screaming for years for cuts in immigration years and the
- 20:08Speaker 2: political class could afford to ignore it because they thought
- 20:13Speaker 2: that kind of vote has got nowhere else to go.
- 20:14Speaker 1: They're idiots there whatever.
- 20:16Speaker 2: And the same thing is with patriots, where you've got
- 20:19Speaker 2: Peter Malanowskus saying fly the flag. I mean, when was
- 20:21Speaker 2: the last time you heard a labor leader say that
- 20:25Speaker 2: politics is changing and it's not just the threat to
- 20:29Speaker 2: the Liberals?
- 20:31Speaker 13: Absolutely correct in relation to migration. By the way, Andrew,
- 20:36Speaker 13: that used to be a core brand equity the Liberal Party,
- 20:38Speaker 13: but Paul and Hanson has now taken that brand equity.
- 20:40Speaker 13: So even though the Liberals are going to pronounce an
- 20:42Speaker 13: immigration policy with substantial cuts, it won't add much to
- 20:45Speaker 13: our vote because if you believe in substantial cuts to
- 20:47Speaker 13: education to immigration, you go to the party that has
- 20:50Speaker 13: been longest and loudest about it, particularly immigration from the
- 20:54Speaker 13: Middle East, and that's Paul and Hansen. Now the Liberal Party,
- 20:57Speaker 13: you have to play to your strengths. You are going
- 20:59Speaker 13: to win on health or education, or the environment or
- 21:02Speaker 13: nuclear they're not brand equities. The Liberal Party. It's the
- 21:05Speaker 13: tax system, economic management, physical conservatism, low debt and helping
- 21:10Speaker 13: those in need and taxing those that don't have government need.
- 21:14Speaker 13: And you know that's the And over time, if you
- 21:17Speaker 13: release a number of policies, the electric gets a general
- 21:19Speaker 13: impression of you. A one policy doesn't doesn't win an election,
- 21:24Speaker 13: but a series of policies which give the electorate of
- 21:27Speaker 13: you that you are, the general impression of you. That's
- 21:31Speaker 13: they're voting on in status I said to you last week,
- 21:33Speaker 13: they're voting on personality. They vote for that guy and
- 21:36Speaker 13: melanalysis because of all the reasons. We know most people
- 21:39Speaker 13: outside South so I wouldn't know a single policy. But
- 21:41Speaker 13: there was Chris Hjelman saying earlier on tonight he'd vote
- 21:44Speaker 13: for him. He does know his policies. But you know
- 21:46Speaker 13: that's that's you know, his vibe is very strong. The
- 21:49Speaker 13: federal Liberal Party have basically abandoned tax and the economy.
- 21:53Speaker 13: It's a number one brand equity. So over time, Angus Taylor,
- 21:56Speaker 13: And when I say over time, I'm in the next
- 21:58Speaker 13: few weeks. It's got to start. You know, taking that
- 22:02Speaker 13: back fiscal responsibility is very important.
- 22:04Speaker 1: People agree with it.
- 22:05Speaker 13: Let me take you to another very obviously very quick example, Andrew,
- 22:09Speaker 13: how is it in Australia that a nurse or a
- 22:13Speaker 13: policeman or a firefighter paid at a state level? I
- 22:16Speaker 13: admit start on fifty sixty seventy thousand. Average pay might
- 22:20Speaker 13: be one hundred thousand, But the university vice sands for
- 22:23Speaker 13: at Melbourne University gets one point five million. Is the
- 22:27Speaker 13: university vice chancellor at Melbourne worth fifteen times a nurse
- 22:31Speaker 13: or a policeman or.
- 22:32Speaker 1: A five fighter?
- 22:33Speaker 13: These people risk their life every single day for our
- 22:35Speaker 13: English Taylor, I'd say, no Commonwealth money to a university
- 22:39Speaker 13: that's paying their vice chancellors over five hundred thousand dollars
- 22:42Speaker 13: one point five million, Well chancellors releasement really.
- 22:50Speaker 1: Hey, good, good point?
- 22:51Speaker 2: Look when his salary so that I'm thinking what they
- 22:53Speaker 2: wouldn't have done the job for one point two million?
- 22:57Speaker 1: One point anyway, this is.
- 22:59Speaker 13: The point editing many to come back abandoned.
- 23:04Speaker 2: Yeah, but I have to say, Michael, yes, economics, yes, competence,
- 23:10Speaker 2: but many many one nation voters seems to me a
- 23:13Speaker 2: voting for that vague feeling that the country's being ripped
- 23:16Speaker 2: away from them, much as so many liberals don't want
- 23:19Speaker 2: to do it.
- 23:20Speaker 1: It's a culture war issue's.
- 23:22Speaker 2: Flag, you know, things like flying the flag and that
- 23:26Speaker 2: doesn't cost anything. How about just doing some of those
- 23:29Speaker 2: things that will have some cut through and then yes,
- 23:32Speaker 2: all those competency issues absolutely. Economics, yes, but you've got
- 23:36Speaker 2: to do the values that get them right. But Stephen,
- 23:39Speaker 2: petrol prices they're high. The Energy Ministry yesterday says six
- 23:44Speaker 2: of the eighty one tankers due to unload oil here
- 23:46Speaker 2: over the next two months had to be canceled or whatever.
- 23:50Speaker 2: Some of that had been made up elsewhere that shortage,
- 23:53Speaker 2: but the shortages are binding.
- 23:54Speaker 1: Here is the Energy Minister in Parliament today.
- 23:59Speaker 12: How many service stations in Australia have run out of fuel?
- 24:04Speaker 15: In New South Wales at the moment it's thirty seven
- 24:06Speaker 15: out of a total of twenty four hundred and forty
- 24:08Speaker 15: four service stations. In Queensland, it's forty seven outlets with
- 24:12Speaker 15: no diesel, thirty two with no regular unleaded out of
- 24:16Speaker 15: just over one eight hundred service stations. In Victoria, at
- 24:20Speaker 15: the end of last week we saw one hundred and
- 24:21Speaker 15: nine outlets with one or more grades unavailable as how
- 24:25Speaker 15: the Victorian government collects had information. Today's update is around
- 24:29Speaker 15: fifty stations out of diesel. I have further updates for
- 24:32Speaker 15: Western Australia, more by supplier than service station. But I
- 24:35Speaker 15: am pleased to say, and I've been speaking to some
- 24:38Speaker 15: Western Australian members opposite about this, that we are seeing
- 24:41Speaker 15: more fuel flow in Western Australia and those numbers come down.
- 24:45Speaker 2: So Stephen Conroy more than two hundred stations as it
- 24:49Speaker 2: was counting along with him out of fuel in whole
- 24:53Speaker 2: or in part. How much of a problem is this
- 24:55Speaker 2: for the government and for Australia.
- 24:58Speaker 14: Look, I think Australia has been underprepared when it comes
- 25:01Speaker 14: to our fuel supply. As you know, everyone talks about
- 25:05Speaker 14: what they're wanting to be ninety days. That's been a
- 25:08Speaker 14: notional target for ten or fifteen years. Neither political party
- 25:12Speaker 14: has actually delivered on it. And I was part of
- 25:15Speaker 14: a government that didn't do enough in this area as well.
- 25:17Speaker 14: So I'm prepared to put up my hand. But that's
- 25:20Speaker 14: exactly why the Prime Minister convened a meeting with all
- 25:23Speaker 14: the state premiers last week. That's why someone has been
- 25:26Speaker 14: put in place to make short the fuel is going
- 25:28Speaker 14: to the places that are running short. So that is
- 25:32Speaker 14: the most concrete thing you can do. And this this
- 25:35Speaker 14: only happened two weeks ago. It's not like the President
- 25:36Speaker 14: of the United States find up and said, oh, look,
- 25:39Speaker 14: Albo and that launch of war could be a problem
- 25:42Speaker 14: with petrol and diesel and jet fuel.
- 25:46Speaker 1: So I start preparing.
- 25:47Speaker 14: So within two weeks of this going on, three weeks
- 25:51Speaker 14: now into four weeks, the Prime Minister's convened a meeting,
- 25:55Speaker 14: set out a plan, put someone in place to deliver
- 25:58Speaker 14: on the plan so that the fuel gets the the
- 26:00Speaker 14: places that matter where they're sure, well, let's make.
- 26:03Speaker 1: Sure before it hits.
- 26:09Speaker 2: Stephen, I predicted this war with the help of General
- 26:12Speaker 2: Jack Keane two months ago. I mean seriously, I haven't
- 26:15Speaker 2: got a whole Department of Foreign Affairs helping with the analysis.
- 26:18Speaker 1: I find it a bit odd that this is, oh
- 26:20Speaker 1: my god, there's a war, you know, weird. Michael Craig
- 26:24Speaker 1: and Stephen Conroy, thank you very much to you both.
- 26:27Speaker 2: After the break, he runs shocking new threat. Okay, we're
- 26:35Speaker 2: now three weeks and two days into the war with
- 26:38Speaker 2: Iran and we've just been reminded how brutal this isn't
- 26:41Speaker 2: mister regime really is. It's publicly hanged nineteen year old
- 26:44Speaker 2: wrestling champions Salah Mohammad Muhammadi and two other men accused
- 26:49Speaker 2: the protests against the regime. Muhammadi was hanged after allegedly
- 26:53Speaker 2: being tortured into falsely confessing to an involvement in the
- 26:56Speaker 2: killing of a policeman and that killing of this young man.
- 27:01Speaker 2: This teenager may help explain by one of the women
- 27:04Speaker 2: in the Iranian soccer team, who was offered asylum in Australia,
- 27:08Speaker 2: is now star of a propaganda video accusing US of
- 27:12Speaker 2: trying to kidnap her.
- 27:14Speaker 16: Who so.
- 27:17Speaker 12: Colare on Rikov.
- 27:20Speaker 17: And William A Mombobo or Shabby Day the horse Jeju
- 27:23Speaker 17: Phpcna Haifer Marsaldus SATbot.
- 27:28Speaker 12: Their name is.
- 27:29Speaker 17: Kaili Jafarzo Yamauchi Kop.
- 27:37Speaker 2: But to the war itself, the US and Israel are
- 27:40Speaker 2: still bombing Iranian missile factories and missile storage and Donald
- 27:44Speaker 2: Trump has given you around forty eight hours as of
- 27:47Speaker 2: ten forty four am yesterday, so we're over halfway. Obviously,
- 27:54Speaker 2: that was our time to open the straight off moose
- 27:57Speaker 2: the oil tankers or have the US destroy is electricity supply.
- 28:02Speaker 2: But Iran in turn has warned the US with an
- 28:04Speaker 2: attack not just the power stations of its Arab neighbors.
- 28:06Speaker 1: But their desalination plants, which are.
- 28:09Speaker 2: Critical for supplying drinking water to their cities. We've got
- 28:13Speaker 2: the plants measure. You can see how many of them
- 28:16Speaker 2: there are. And he runs a revolutionary Guards spokesman Mott
- 28:19Speaker 2: Donald Trump.
- 28:20Speaker 3: In English eight, Aram, you are fired. You are familiar
- 28:24Speaker 3: with this sentence. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
- 28:31Speaker 2: Joining me is the country sop. Foreign affairs writer Greg
- 28:33Speaker 2: Sheridan of the Australian newspaper, Greg, lovely, see you look
- 28:37Speaker 2: if you run does hit the desalination plants of Qa
- 28:41Speaker 2: to Dubai and Abu Dhabi and even Saudi Arabia?
- 28:45Speaker 1: What then? Well, Andrew, it's great to be with you.
- 28:48Speaker 18: This war has now reached a critical phase. I've got
- 28:51Speaker 18: a piece in tomorrow's paper arguing that it.
- 28:53Speaker 1: Is moral and just war.
- 28:55Speaker 18: But you're right to highlight the barbaric sadism of the rape.
- 29:01Speaker 18: They don't mind killing their own people, they don't mind
- 29:03Speaker 18: accepting death for their own leaders. They will wreak a
- 29:06Speaker 18: humanitarian catastrophe on the Gulf if they can. Now I'm
- 29:11Speaker 18: no moral equivalent, man, Andrew. I very much want the
- 29:16Speaker 18: United States and Israel to win this war. That is
- 29:19Speaker 18: in the interests of everybody, including every Australian. However, if
- 29:24Speaker 18: the Iranians are able successfully to destroy the desalination plants,
- 29:31Speaker 18: then you have to indict Trump really for a lack
- 29:36Speaker 18: of preparation here. I mean, the Allies could have afforded
- 29:41Speaker 18: not so much assistance in the Strait of Hormuz, but
- 29:44Speaker 18: missile interception assistants in the golf countries, and the Americans
- 29:49Speaker 18: could have bolstered that in the golf countries themselves. The
- 29:53Speaker 18: Ukrainians now have very smart counter drone capabilities, but the
- 29:57Speaker 18: Americans have been using missiles worth millions of dollars to
- 30:00Speaker 18: knock out Iranian drones worth tens of thousands of dollars,
- 30:04Speaker 18: and the Americans in the Israelis have not so far
- 30:07Speaker 18: been able to silence either Iranian missiles or Iranian drones.
- 30:12Speaker 18: I don't know what Trump has in mind with this deadline.
- 30:15Speaker 18: I think the way he delivered it means that Iran
- 30:18Speaker 18: cannot possibly agree to it. Will he really then hit
- 30:23Speaker 18: all the power utilities in Iran. I still think they
- 30:28Speaker 18: would be a lesser priority than the drones and the missiles,
- 30:32Speaker 18: because that's what would threaten the lives, not to mention
- 30:36Speaker 18: the international global economy in the Gulf. But honestly, although
- 30:41Speaker 18: I want Israel and the US to win, it's very
- 30:43Speaker 18: hard to follow what Trump, what Trump is saying and doing.
- 30:49Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't see that either.
- 30:51Speaker 2: I mean, the whole Sheism, their version of Islam is
- 30:55Speaker 2: predicated on suffering makes you great fun, you know, losing
- 30:59Speaker 2: under overwhelming odds like Hussein did, the grandson of Muhammad,
- 31:04Speaker 2: losing life in that is actually honorable noble. I actually
- 31:07Speaker 2: don't think it did work. That said, you know, I
- 31:12Speaker 2: agree with you. They should have prepared for this. They
- 31:14Speaker 2: should have used the assistance that Ukraine is offering even
- 31:18Speaker 2: now on the drone anti drome technology. That said, I'm
- 31:23Speaker 2: trying to remember when last I saw a war being
- 31:26Speaker 2: fought on the principle of we will destroy every neighbor.
- 31:30Speaker 7: We have.
- 31:33Speaker 1: To stop this other superpower from attacking us. This is
- 31:37Speaker 1: just this is weird.
- 31:39Speaker 18: Yeah, it's very barbaric, Andrew, I mean, up until a
- 31:42Speaker 18: few days ago, both sides were fighting within certain limits.
- 31:45Speaker 18: The Americans weren't hitting Iranian energy targets, and the Iranians
- 31:50Speaker 18: weren't doing everything they could to destroy the Gulf.
- 31:54Speaker 1: Now.
- 31:54Speaker 18: The reason they're happy to kill people in the Gulf
- 31:57Speaker 18: because they're happy about death generally. And in any event,
- 32:00Speaker 18: the Golf populations are overwhelmingly Sunni and the Iranians are sheer.
- 32:06Speaker 18: But there is a level of savage barbarity. Even the
- 32:10Speaker 18: Russians are not doing this, although I believe the Russians
- 32:13Speaker 18: are helping the Iranians quite a lot. And the Russians,
- 32:16Speaker 18: by the way, the great winners out of this. Their
- 32:18Speaker 18: oil is no longer sanctioned. The price of oil has
- 32:21Speaker 18: gone up, there's less weapons to give to Ukraine, and
- 32:25Speaker 18: the Americans have completely taken their eye off Ukraine. But
- 32:29Speaker 18: even the Russians are not behaving with the level of
- 32:32Speaker 18: barbarity that the Iranians want now to inflict on the
- 32:36Speaker 18: populations of the Gulf. Now, if they are successful in
- 32:41Speaker 18: seriously damaging a large portion of the desalination plants, now
- 32:45Speaker 18: these are very big gifts. We don't know what's going
- 32:48Speaker 18: to happen, But if they are successful in doing that,
- 32:51Speaker 18: that could be a humanitarian catastrophe. Now it would have
- 32:55Speaker 18: the tragic irony of bearing out everything that we've ever
- 32:58Speaker 18: thought about the Iranian regime. But you know, if you're
- 33:02Speaker 18: fighting people like that, you have to be prepared at
- 33:07Speaker 18: a very deep level of preparation. And surely Trump and
- 33:13Speaker 18: his team aren't surprised that the Iranians would behave this way.
- 33:21Speaker 18: So Trump doesn't really consult the great institutions of state
- 33:24Speaker 18: in America, the National Security Council, the State Department, or
- 33:28Speaker 18: even that much the Pentagon. But you know, my familiarity
- 33:33Speaker 18: with the American system over fifty years is that they
- 33:35Speaker 18: would have thought all this out very deeply under a
- 33:38Speaker 18: normal presidency. I'm not sure that that contingency planning has
- 33:42Speaker 18: been done under Trump. I mean, he has the strength
- 33:46Speaker 18: of an agile, nimble, fast decision maker, but he also
- 33:50Speaker 18: has the weakness of a one man band, you know,
- 33:53Speaker 18: not getting contrary advice and cautionary advice.
- 33:59Speaker 2: We touch on the point I was going to raise
- 34:01Speaker 2: with you, Greg that you know, if you thought that
- 34:04Speaker 2: Iran was mad enough to use an atomic bomb, you know,
- 34:07Speaker 2: to wipe out Israel as it's threatened to do. You know,
- 34:10Speaker 2: and I believe it, then you should perhaps assume that
- 34:14Speaker 2: it mad enough to do almost anything else. And it
- 34:17Speaker 2: justifies the war, as in, you cannot have this regime
- 34:22Speaker 2: armed with almost anything, given this propensity to inflict this
- 34:26Speaker 2: kind of barbarity. But you then have to prepare for
- 34:29Speaker 2: the consequences. Greg Sheridan, thank you so much for your time.
- 34:32Speaker 2: Really appreciated that. After the break, how Anthony Ebinezi didn't
- 34:36Speaker 2: tell the truth about his fiery visitalized Friday to a
- 34:40Speaker 2: biggest mosque and what that means. So the Prime Minister
- 34:48Speaker 2: is still telling us diversity makes us strong. That's even
- 34:53Speaker 2: after his own end of Ramadan visit to Australi's biggest
- 34:57Speaker 2: mosque on Friday. Now, I want to play some of
- 34:59Speaker 2: the this you may have seen already, but I want
- 35:01Speaker 2: to play a fair bit of it because of two
- 35:04Speaker 2: important points that need to be made about the abuse
- 35:07Speaker 2: he comped.
- 35:09Speaker 9: No invited politicians that make us feel good about ourselves,
- 35:20Speaker 9: but never generally had a robust and effective communication with
- 35:23Speaker 9: them about the issues affected our community.
- 35:27Speaker 1: We called therable, you called theble.
- 35:31Speaker 15: He wasn't.
- 35:31Speaker 1: The left won't be the people why if?
- 35:41Speaker 2: And there was a lot more abuse outside when about
- 35:44Speaker 2: twenty people escorted like secure guards or whatever, scored the
- 35:48Speaker 2: premise to safety in his car.
- 35:51Speaker 1: And the two points I want to make of this.
- 35:53Speaker 2: First, would a prime minister be abused like that at
- 35:56Speaker 2: a place of worship of any other faith? Would he
- 36:00Speaker 2: need guarding by about twenty security people at a Catholic
- 36:03Speaker 2: church or a Hindu temple or a Buddhist fan.
- 36:07Speaker 1: A synagogue? No, I've never seen it.
- 36:10Speaker 2: A second, can you trust the word the Prome minister
- 36:13Speaker 2: says about Islam in this country when after that he
- 36:16Speaker 2: later tells you thiswhelmingly.
- 36:21Speaker 10: The reception was incredibly positive or a couple of hecla's
- 36:25Speaker 10: inside they were dealt with.
- 36:29Speaker 2: Joining me A Lisa god Arn from a foreign correspondent
- 36:31Speaker 2: for the founder of Adoni Media, A Scyne New's host
- 36:35Speaker 2: The Nikki to Georgio. This, Lisa, I mean wow, incredibly
- 36:41Speaker 2: positive reception, says ALBINIZI just a couple of hecklers.
- 36:46Speaker 1: Does that match what we all of us saw? And
- 36:49Speaker 1: why doesn't it?
- 36:52Speaker 3: Andrew?
- 36:52Speaker 16: It seems like he thinks that we are so stupid
- 36:55Speaker 16: that you can't believe what you actually see with your
- 36:57Speaker 16: own eyes. Now, when we look at diversity and the
- 37:00Speaker 16: way that this labor government is pushing diversity. You basically,
- 37:03Speaker 16: they want us to look at this through rose colored glasses,
- 37:06Speaker 16: if you like. But to believe him, and to believe
- 37:09Speaker 16: that there was an overwhelmingly positive reception for him, you
- 37:12Speaker 16: would have to have a blackout goggles on to try
- 37:14Speaker 16: and believe that we all saw it with our own eyes.
- 37:17Speaker 16: You can't call us lies. He's treating us as absolute fools.
- 37:21Speaker 16: As he left that mosque, there was booze, there was
- 37:23Speaker 16: shame on you being shouted, and that was beyond what
- 37:26Speaker 16: was said inside and how he was called a dog.
- 37:27Speaker 16: So I don't think he understands exactly how insulting it
- 37:32Speaker 16: is to us as Australians that he thinks that we
- 37:33Speaker 16: can't believe our own eyes.
- 37:38Speaker 1: How do you explain to Danika the lying about what
- 37:43Speaker 1: actually happened?
- 37:45Speaker 2: Then what else is he telling us, Oh, Islam, it's great,
- 37:49Speaker 2: diversity's strength we can get. You know, this seems to
- 37:54Speaker 2: be a really profound level of denial here that really
- 37:57Speaker 2: disturbs me.
- 37:58Speaker 12: Yeah, denial, denial, denial.
- 38:00Speaker 19: What it seems to me is once again he is
- 38:02Speaker 19: just not pandering to all of us, not saying we're
- 38:04Speaker 19: all one we're all one Australians. He's pandering again to
- 38:08Speaker 19: one community. He's pandering to the base, to the Muslim
- 38:11Speaker 19: vote that he's been pandering to for the last two
- 38:13Speaker 19: and a half years, particularly since October seven. Does he
- 38:16Speaker 19: really think that we are that dumb that we couldn't
- 38:19Speaker 19: see what happened inside that mosque? I mean the vision
- 38:21Speaker 19: Andrew didn't just go into state, it went worldwide, It
- 38:25Speaker 19: made global headlines. And then for him to come out
- 38:28Speaker 19: the next day, oh look, everything is okay. He also
- 38:31Speaker 19: posted on his social media that diversity is our strength.
- 38:34Speaker 19: He even went as far as to say that he
- 38:37Speaker 19: was welcomed at the mosque. He even posted that on
- 38:40Speaker 19: social media that he was honored to be there. What
- 38:43Speaker 19: planet does the Prime Minister live on? Stop gaslighting us,
- 38:47Speaker 19: Stop lying to our faces. It is so clear we
- 38:50Speaker 19: have had countless examples of how diversity has failed. You
- 38:53Speaker 19: only need to look at the scenes at the Sydney
- 38:56Speaker 19: Opera House for goodness sake, flags of terror groups being marched.
- 39:00Speaker 19: Sure cohesion has fractured under his watch, and yet he
- 39:03Speaker 19: still wants us to believe everything is okay. And all
- 39:06Speaker 19: I can put it down to is he doesn't want
- 39:08Speaker 19: to upset the Muslim vote. That is all I can
- 39:11Speaker 19: put it down to.
- 39:15Speaker 1: I suspect that's right.
- 39:16Speaker 2: But Lisa, it goes to a wider issue too, doesn't
- 39:19Speaker 2: it that this whole precept that we've had for this
- 39:24Speaker 2: assumption for decades now, diversity is better for us, you know,
- 39:29Speaker 2: much better with this underlying thing that Anglo kialtic culture
- 39:33Speaker 2: is pretty boring and bad. But diversity gives you some strengths, fine,
- 39:38Speaker 2: but not if you can't maintain social unity. There has
- 39:42Speaker 2: to be a wider cohesion that you can't fracture it.
- 39:46Speaker 2: And I feel that that's one of the stories of
- 39:48Speaker 2: one nation. A lot of Australians are picking up that
- 39:51Speaker 2: diversity now has gone too far and it's fracturing us.
- 39:55Speaker 1: It's a challenge, not a strength.
- 39:58Speaker 16: Well, diversity has basically become a posted child for division
- 40:01Speaker 16: if you look at what's happening in this country now,
- 40:03Speaker 16: and I think that is what you saw in South Australia.
- 40:06Speaker 16: People are saying, well, we don't know what this country
- 40:08Speaker 16: is anymore. We want somebody who is going to speak
- 40:10Speaker 16: up for us. And that was the swing that was
- 40:12Speaker 16: that Orange wave that went through South Australia.
- 40:14Speaker 12: You're right.
- 40:15Speaker 16: The diversity card has been played and played and played.
- 40:17Speaker 16: But what we're seeing now is a country that's fractured
- 40:19Speaker 16: and it's almost and I've heard you say it before,
- 40:21Speaker 16: it's tribalism. That's what we're now having to sort of
- 40:24Speaker 16: claw our way back from. And I think mister Albanezi
- 40:27Speaker 16: has got himself into a position now where he has
- 40:29Speaker 16: gone so hard on promoting diversity as a solution that
- 40:32Speaker 16: how on earth does.
- 40:33Speaker 12: He walk this back?
- 40:37Speaker 1: Absolutely well said generational issue for labor. How did they
- 40:41Speaker 1: walk it back?
- 40:42Speaker 2: The ABC Denikio is having a freak out of a
- 40:45Speaker 2: Pauline Hanson's success because of course she's been against all this,
- 40:49Speaker 2: this left this the project. I was listening to ABC
- 40:52Speaker 2: Radio Melbourne this morning. Even the host was losing it.
- 40:56Speaker 2: Even I shouldn't say that, of course, as was losing it.
- 40:59Speaker 2: Is it really an accident?
- 41:00Speaker 1: As well?
- 41:01Speaker 2: The ABC's election night coverage featured this plus a host
- 41:05Speaker 2: giggling as if making Hanson look silly.
- 41:08Speaker 1: It was great fun.
- 41:09Speaker 12: Look okay, casey and thank you. Look we understand.
- 41:14Speaker 19: Pauline Hanson has been speaking at the One Nation headquarters.
- 41:19Speaker 19: Let's bring you some of that now.
- 41:26Speaker 11: Feel so many things that are going through me tonight.
- 41:28Speaker 11: The last time I saw a crowd like.
- 41:31Speaker 1: This, Denika, what did you make of that and the reaction?
- 41:36Speaker 1: Is it really just a bad accident.
- 41:39Speaker 19: No, of course it's not a bad accident. I mean
- 41:41Speaker 19: the ABC has been inserting its own bias into its
- 41:45Speaker 19: media coverage now for years, particularly since October seven, and
- 41:49Speaker 19: Pauline Hanson stands for everything that they go against. I mean,
- 41:52Speaker 19: she's out there talking about mass migration, about the types
- 41:55Speaker 19: of people we're bringing into this country, about the Green
- 41:58Speaker 19: dream failing and sending us broke and backwards. But of
- 42:00Speaker 19: course that doesn't suit the ABC's narrative, doesn't it. I
- 42:04Speaker 19: mean that they've inserted their personal bias into the divisions
- 42:08Speaker 19: that we're seeing in society. They've promoted a very pro
- 42:10Speaker 19: Palestine view of things. They're also into diversity and multiculturalism.
- 42:15Speaker 19: So no, when I watched that footage of the South
- 42:17Speaker 19: Australian election Andrew, I didn't think it was a genuine accident.
- 42:20Speaker 12: They meant it that. I believe that they truly meant it.
- 42:23Speaker 19: They want Pauline Hanson to fail. But look at.
- 42:26Speaker 1: Everyone was embarrassed by it.
- 42:28Speaker 12: Well they but well I know, I agree.
- 42:30Speaker 2: They certainly was embarrassing. Yeah, Lisa, I'm sort of out
- 42:34Speaker 2: of time, but just so quickly I need to hear
- 42:36Speaker 2: from you. Given all that ABC you've voted to go
- 42:39Speaker 2: and strike the claiming three point five percent pay rs
- 42:42Speaker 2: off was enough. They want more of taxpayers money. Your
- 42:45Speaker 2: advice to the ABC boss.
- 42:48Speaker 16: So we need more of this, just quickly, Andrew to
- 42:50Speaker 16: pick up what Danikas said. The reason that the ABC
- 42:53Speaker 16: were caught out and really the laugh is on them
- 42:55Speaker 16: is they had their feed that was a pool feed
- 42:57Speaker 16: into the ABC canceled that night because of a dispute
- 43:00Speaker 16: with one nation. That's why they were banned from that function.
- 43:03Speaker 16: And the fee that came in came in with a
- 43:05Speaker 16: problem with it. So that's why they were left red
- 43:07Speaker 16: face and laughing wrongly on air. And I'm told that
- 43:10Speaker 16: the ABC are now banned from all media to do
- 43:13Speaker 16: with one nation in South Australia and nationally and when
- 43:16Speaker 16: it comes to their fight for wages, have a look
- 43:19Speaker 16: around the country, do ABC friends. You've got ninety seven
- 43:22Speaker 16: percent of businesses in this country a small business. They're struggling,
- 43:25Speaker 16: they're trying to pay their bills, they're trying to work out,
- 43:27Speaker 16: will people even have jobs?
- 43:31Speaker 1: I think that's right. I think that's right.
- 43:33Speaker 2: Maybe they shouldn't barracks so much for the labor government
- 43:36Speaker 2: when we're down to this and they are down to price. Thanks,
- 43:40Speaker 2: thank you so much, Lisa Goddnika to Georgio after the break.
- 43:45Speaker 2: Donald Trump makes fun of Britain's Prime Minister Moxin as weak.
- 43:53Speaker 2: Donald Trump just can't help himself. Britain just got its
- 43:56Speaker 2: own version of America Saturday Night Live, and the US
- 43:59Speaker 2: President love the skit on that show that mocked British
- 44:03Speaker 2: Prime Minister King Starmer Kirs. Starmer is a wimp terrified
- 44:09Speaker 2: of Trump. In fact, Trump liked it so much that
- 44:12Speaker 2: he posted it on social media so the rest of
- 44:14Speaker 2: us could laugh with him at Starmer.
- 44:18Speaker 5: Oh oh golly, well, what if Donald shouts at me?
- 44:25Speaker 12: What do I say, Labbie?
- 44:29Speaker 1: Just be yourself, Prime Minister? Yourself is who everyone likes.
- 44:36Speaker 14: Hello.
- 44:41Speaker 2: Joining me from London every Monday is talk TV host
- 44:44Speaker 2: Samara gil Samara. Donald Trump right now wants Brince Prime
- 44:47Speaker 2: Minister to actually send warships to help the US fight
- 44:50Speaker 2: around Yet at the same time he can't help but
- 44:53Speaker 2: ridicule Starmer like this, does Britain get that joke?
- 44:58Speaker 20: I mean, Andrew, it's the it's the inevitable question. Does
- 45:01Speaker 20: life imitate art or does imitate life?
- 45:04Speaker 3: And in this.
- 45:05Speaker 20: Situation, I think that Trump has basically said, yeah, this
- 45:09Speaker 20: is basically what our conversations look like. I mean, it's
- 45:12Speaker 20: almost like we're in the Soviet Union with our free
- 45:14Speaker 20: speech over here. It's sort of revolutionary to have something
- 45:18Speaker 20: on TV that mocks Keir Starmer. It was quite refreshing
- 45:21Speaker 20: to watch because the.
- 45:22Speaker 7: Skit is bang on.
- 45:24Speaker 20: You know, we're the laughing stock of the entire world
- 45:27Speaker 20: right now with our sort of dithering prime minister who
- 45:31Speaker 20: can't make a decision left or right even if his
- 45:34Speaker 20: life and the nation's entire sanity depends on it. He's
- 45:38Speaker 20: completely out of in up over his head with this conflict.
- 45:42Speaker 20: You know, Trump's style has always been mixed with serious
- 45:46Speaker 20: policy and political theater. He should understand that. But I
- 45:49Speaker 20: just think that, you know, as an ally, you don't
- 45:52Speaker 20: have to like the tone, but you have to understand
- 45:54Speaker 20: the substance of what Trump is saying here. And I
- 45:58Speaker 20: think the real issue isn't even the joke at this point,
- 46:00Speaker 20: it's whether Britain is stepping up on security, and we
- 46:03Speaker 20: most certainly are not. I mean what we sent into battle,
- 46:07Speaker 20: the HMS Dragon, which is a rusty old ship that
- 46:10Speaker 20: was basically about to be decommissioned, is effectively like sending
- 46:14Speaker 20: a sort of old car into battle. And Trump said
- 46:17Speaker 20: it himself. We used to be the Rolls Royce of
- 46:20Speaker 20: allies over here in the UK. What's happened, Andrew is
- 46:23Speaker 20: it's dire straits over here.
- 46:28Speaker 2: It's interesting consider because it has turned out to be
- 46:30Speaker 2: your war too. I mean now news that Iran we say, oh,
- 46:35Speaker 2: we don't have any ballistic missiles. We're not going to
- 46:37Speaker 2: have any missiles with the range greater than two thousand kilometers.
- 46:40Speaker 2: It is now far two ballistic missiles at a British
- 46:43Speaker 2: naval base on Diego Garcia that it shares with the
- 46:47Speaker 2: US that's more than four thousand kilometers away, one missile far,
- 46:51Speaker 2: the other was shot down the four thousand kilometers. That
- 46:55Speaker 2: means London is also in range as kios Thama has
- 46:59Speaker 2: now worn Britain.
- 47:00Speaker 1: How worried is the government?
- 47:03Speaker 20: You know, the government is run by such a person
- 47:06Speaker 20: that it would take three to five days to actually
- 47:08Speaker 20: even come up with a decision if there was a
- 47:11Speaker 20: long range missile file fired towards US. You know, he'd
- 47:14Speaker 20: be checking international law, he'd be going through the books,
- 47:18Speaker 20: he'd be reading through his copy of The Guardian that
- 47:21Speaker 20: was on his desk, just to figure out how he
- 47:23Speaker 20: could strategically get through this. You know, we are with
- 47:26Speaker 20: someone who again had to check international law to even
- 47:29Speaker 20: enter into this situation in the first place. And that's
- 47:32Speaker 20: put us on the back foot.
- 47:33Speaker 12: Of this of this war.
- 47:35Speaker 20: And you know, I understand him not wanting to be
- 47:38Speaker 20: part of it. That's the way the British public is
- 47:41Speaker 20: at the moment. They are very still jaded from Iraq, etc.
- 47:46Speaker 20: I understand they're very different wars and very different situations.
- 47:49Speaker 20: But the way that he's dealing with this is not
- 47:53Speaker 20: the way a leader should, you know, he should pander
- 47:56Speaker 20: to Trump in the way that suits him. And unfortunately
- 47:59Speaker 20: he's not the strong man in this situation. And yeah, look,
- 48:02Speaker 20: an attack on a joint UK US base, it is
- 48:07Speaker 20: now no longer someone else's war.
- 48:09Speaker 12: Britain is already involved.
- 48:11Speaker 20: And I think the final question really is whether we
- 48:14Speaker 20: acknowledge that reality.
- 48:15Speaker 12: And it seems like we don't want to at the moment.
- 48:18Speaker 20: You know, as we speak right now, Kirstarma is in
- 48:20Speaker 20: a Cobra meeting, hiding in his bunker away from questioning
- 48:25Speaker 20: in the chambers in Westminster. He's probably going to send
- 48:28Speaker 20: out one of his juniors to face the opposition. But
- 48:32Speaker 20: this is the situation we're currently in. The man is
- 48:36Speaker 20: totally paralyzed and it's not going to be a good
- 48:39Speaker 20: thing if we're in these very very cosmic foreign conflicts.
- 48:46Speaker 2: No, absolutely, Samara, Samara Gill. I'll talk to you again
- 48:51Speaker 2: next week. Thank you so much for your time. Next
- 48:54Speaker 2: Sherry Mackson, good night,
