Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Lately. Welcome the late debate. Great to have your company.
- 0:07Speaker 2: I'm James macpherson with Liz Staer and Joe Hildebrand coming up.
- 0:12Speaker 2: Donald Trump begins trolling Joe Biden ahead of tomorrow's presidential debate.
- 0:17Speaker 1: It's not a bad effort either. Will show you that
- 0:19Speaker 1: in a moment.
- 0:20Speaker 2: Plus, when we look at the papers, Australian military takes
- 0:22Speaker 2: possession of a one billion dollar drone and Melbourne Universities
- 0:26Speaker 2: threatened students with expulsion for taking part in pro Palestinian rallies.
- 0:30Speaker 2: All of that a little later, but first we need
- 0:33Speaker 2: to answer the question is there a climate crisis or not?
- 0:36Speaker 2: Or at least North Sydney Council needs to answer that question.
- 0:40Speaker 2: After telling EV drivers they can't run power cords across
- 0:44Speaker 2: the footpath to charge their vehicles, they say it's a
- 0:48Speaker 2: trip hazard.
- 0:49Speaker 1: Well let me ask you this.
- 0:50Speaker 2: What's worse tripping on a cord and raising your knee
- 0:53Speaker 2: or dying due to global boiling. Why do North Sydney
- 0:57Speaker 2: Council hate the planet EV owners if, if we're honest,
- 1:00Speaker 2: they're on the front line of the battle against climate change.
- 1:03Speaker 2: But environmentally conscious drivers like North Sydney resident John Slater
- 1:08Speaker 2: have been threatened with three hundred dollars fines because unable
- 1:11Speaker 2: to park his car in his own driveway, he has
- 1:14Speaker 2: to run an extension cord across the footpath to charge it. Now,
- 1:19Speaker 2: have a look at his car and the cord that
- 1:21Speaker 2: he ran across the path. I think we've got an
- 1:23Speaker 2: image of it that shows John Slater went to quite
- 1:26Speaker 2: a bit of effort. He's taped the cord down on
- 1:28Speaker 2: the footpath so no one's going to trip over it.
- 1:31Speaker 2: But then, of course he got a letter from the
- 1:33Speaker 2: council saying if he dares to do that again, he'll
- 1:37Speaker 2: receive a three hundred dollars fine. Well, John was pretty
- 1:40Speaker 2: astonished by this. In fact, he told the Daily Telegraph
- 1:43Speaker 2: I was astonished. We were only charging at night, and
- 1:46Speaker 2: we live in a very quiet street with barely any
- 1:49Speaker 2: pedestrian traffic after six pm, and we used a black
- 1:52Speaker 2: covering on the cord so it wasn't a trip hazard.
- 1:55Speaker 2: And then he says this, which I think is the
- 1:57Speaker 2: killer line. He says, we have a client, an emergency,
- 2:01Speaker 2: but the council is instead more worried about public liability
- 2:04Speaker 2: and being sued. Great point, John Slater tripping hazards will
- 2:08Speaker 2: be the least of our problems when Sydney is overrun
- 2:11Speaker 2: by rising sea levels because councils won't allow ev drivers.
- 2:15Speaker 3: Joe, that is absolutely that's right. Basically, North Cydney Council
- 2:19Speaker 3: is responsible for the death of the planet and the
- 2:22Speaker 3: end of human civilization as we know it. I hope
- 2:25Speaker 3: you're proud of yourselves. I wonder if this is why
- 2:27Speaker 3: Kyllia Tink's seat got redistributed in the latest Australian Electional
- 2:31Speaker 3: Commission shake up of the boundaries, because of course she
- 2:35Speaker 3: was the teal member for North Sydney, but no longer
- 2:39Speaker 3: because North Sydney no longer exists as an electric which
- 2:44Speaker 3: again is an early warning system for what's going to
- 2:47Speaker 3: the entire planet. Because they're not letting this up. And
- 2:51Speaker 3: they're not the first council to do it either. There
- 2:52Speaker 3: was another council. I think you might have been Northern Meass.
- 2:55Speaker 3: I don't want to flag them off, but there was
- 2:57Speaker 3: another council that said this. This has been going on
- 3:00Speaker 3: and on and on and no one's got a solution
- 3:01Speaker 3: for it. What do you do if you don't have
- 3:04Speaker 3: a Drivewise, it's about.
- 3:05Speaker 2: Thirty percent Liz, I think of Sydney residents who don't
- 3:08Speaker 2: have a driveway where they can park their car. So
- 3:10Speaker 2: the government pushing everybody into evs that yet to provide
- 3:14Speaker 2: a solution to how people are going to charge these things.
- 3:16Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
- 3:17Speaker 5: And you've got to feel for this guy, John Slater
- 3:19Speaker 5: because the whole article he sounds like such an earnest soul.
- 3:22Speaker 4: Right now, he's got solar panels.
- 3:25Speaker 5: He mentions that he's done everything the government asked him to.
- 3:29Speaker 4: He's got the solar panels.
- 3:30Speaker 5: Now he's going to be charged for exporting excess energy
- 3:33Speaker 5: during the day when solar panels make the most energy,
- 3:36Speaker 5: and he's at work so he can't use any of it.
- 3:38Speaker 5: But thank you, John. He's got the EV because the
- 3:40Speaker 5: government told him to. Maybe he was subsidized, maybe he wasn't,
- 3:44Speaker 5: but he genuinely wants to save the planet, so he
- 3:46Speaker 5: got that. He wants to charge it at home because
- 3:50Speaker 5: it's forty two cents less per killer watt, eight cents
- 3:54Speaker 5: at home, fifty cents if he goes to one of
- 3:56Speaker 5: those public pumps and waits for hours in a line,
- 4:00Speaker 5: finally gets there, fuels up that way, so it's much
- 4:03Speaker 5: cheaper for him this way as well. He spent one
- 4:06Speaker 5: thousand dollars rather all his equipment, the cord, the tarp,
- 4:11Speaker 5: making sure no one will trip. And someone still dubbed
- 4:16Speaker 5: him on into the very government. And he turns around
- 4:19Speaker 5: Ernest John and says, I'm so astonished, John, buddy, have
- 4:23Speaker 5: you figured out yet it's not about saving the planet.
- 4:28Speaker 4: Come on, think with me here. They're really hard.
- 4:31Speaker 1: I'm impressible, Sydney council.
- 4:33Speaker 2: I've got rangers after ten pm at night, patrolling footpaths
- 4:36Speaker 2: taking photo.
- 4:36Speaker 5: Really, it wasn't a ranger. That's that's just as serving monitory.
- 4:43Speaker 5: Because he was absolutely.
- 4:46Speaker 4: That's how councils work. It's not a ranger.
- 4:49Speaker 5: And he said himself he lives in a very quiet area,
- 4:52Speaker 5: so rangers aren't checking out like parking tickets or anything
- 4:55Speaker 5: like that in a really quiet area. One of his
- 4:58Speaker 5: neighbors has spotted the tarts added that I used to
- 5:01Speaker 5: be your city councilor this is how it always works.
- 5:04Speaker 5: Nancy next door picking up the phone, being like, are
- 5:07Speaker 5: you aware? And now poor John, despite all his efforts,
- 5:12Speaker 5: is still getting.
- 5:15Speaker 3: And I think when you said, you know, and you
- 5:16Speaker 3: know he's got solar panels. That riding me to the
- 5:18Speaker 3: old joke about you know, how do you know if
- 5:19Speaker 3: someone's vegan, they'll tell you, they'll tell you.
- 5:28Speaker 4: But I made it into the article.
- 5:30Speaker 3: He's so selfless because even despite having all the solar
- 5:33Speaker 3: powers panels and not being able to, you know, not
- 5:37Speaker 3: being able to exploit it because he's at work during
- 5:38Speaker 3: the day, he's still charging his EV at night, so
- 5:41Speaker 3: he's actually handing this money directly over to the government,
- 5:45Speaker 3: over to osgrid and the supplies. And also, I can't
- 5:50Speaker 3: help but wonder why would you make it a requirement
- 5:54Speaker 3: for or it is an effective de facto requirement whether
- 5:57Speaker 3: you make it one or not. But you're saying, well,
- 5:59Speaker 3: you can own you can't have any cords on the footpath,
- 6:01Speaker 3: so you can only have a you can only charge
- 6:04Speaker 3: your car at home if you have a garage or
- 6:06Speaker 3: a driveway on site on your property. When at the
- 6:10Speaker 3: same time we constantly get all these studies showing that
- 6:13Speaker 3: houses with the biggest land geographical footprint are also the
- 6:19Speaker 3: biggest producers of carbon They're also the biggest producer of
- 6:23Speaker 3: carbon dioxide, so they're also the worst of the environment.
- 6:25Speaker 3: So you are basically saying that to have to own
- 6:29Speaker 3: an electric vehicle, you have to have a property that
- 6:32Speaker 3: produces more CO Two. Right, we're through the looking glass,
- 6:37Speaker 3: yere people, And I'm a supporter, I'm on John's side.
- 6:40Speaker 3: But again, there is just no force on Earth, including
- 6:43Speaker 3: the actual prospective end of the Earth itself, more powerful
- 6:48Speaker 3: than petty bureaucracy.
- 6:50Speaker 2: Well, you'd think if there was a Climate CIS Council
- 6:52Speaker 2: would throw people like John Slater a bone.
- 6:55Speaker 4: It wins the day.
- 6:56Speaker 5: And while we're speaking about evs, the fact that we
- 6:59Speaker 5: don't have the infrastructure, the fact that all the lithium
- 7:02Speaker 5: batteries are very dangerous, the fact that we won't have
- 7:05Speaker 5: anywhere to put all the lithium batteries, et cetera, et cetera.
- 7:08Speaker 4: And so on. Maybe they can be remotely turned off
- 7:11Speaker 4: the list whar's long.
- 7:13Speaker 5: Let's check out this battery factory in South Korea where
- 7:19Speaker 5: a massive explosion lithian iron battery factory went up in
- 7:25Speaker 5: smoke on Monday. Of course, it was very hard to
- 7:29Speaker 5: get such a blaze out. I believe we've got some
- 7:31Speaker 5: footage of it there if we can get that up
- 7:33Speaker 5: on the screen. So this lithium battery factory, the lives
- 7:38Speaker 5: of twenty two people.
- 7:40Speaker 4: This is while it was still nice.
- 7:42Speaker 5: And small, but wait for it, it gets a lot bigger.
- 7:47Speaker 5: Quite the tragedy. Twenty two lives in total lost due
- 7:52Speaker 5: to this.
- 7:52Speaker 2: To give your perspective on that, there were one hundred
- 7:54Speaker 2: and two people working in the factory at the time
- 7:56Speaker 2: and twenty two of them perished in this.
- 7:58Speaker 5: Solios lithium there you go, they grow very fast. And
- 8:04Speaker 5: also it may not have been that those twenty two
- 8:07Speaker 5: people were caught in the.
- 8:08Speaker 4: Flames necessarily, but being a lithium.
- 8:11Speaker 5: Iron fire, those fumes are incredibly toxic. So if you
- 8:17Speaker 5: are within smellings distance, indeed your life could be very
- 8:21Speaker 5: much in danger. But don't just think this kind of
- 8:24Speaker 5: thing is happening in South Korea. Check out this headline
- 8:28Speaker 5: from just last week where the people who collect our
- 8:32Speaker 5: rubbish are saying, oh no, we encounter about ten thousand
- 8:37Speaker 5: lithium iron battery fires a year. Check Out this quote
- 8:43Speaker 5: from Viola chief exec Richard Kirkman. He says he receives
- 8:46Speaker 5: calls once or twice a.
- 8:48Speaker 4: Week rebattery fires.
- 8:49Speaker 5: He said, most of the time we're getting that fire out,
- 8:52Speaker 5: but every couple of weeks we're losing a truck, or
- 8:55Speaker 5: we're having a serious fire which is costing us money,
- 8:59Speaker 5: or a facility. So I don't know about you guys,
- 9:03Speaker 5: but I had no idea it was this prevalent.
- 9:05Speaker 4: We've covered the odd.
- 9:06Speaker 5: Fire here and there with say a e bike blowing
- 9:10Speaker 5: up again with him my own battery, but I didn't
- 9:14Speaker 5: know that we're seeing up to ten thousand per year,
- 9:17Speaker 5: and these guys see it most of course, because people
- 9:20Speaker 5: don't dispose of their batteries in the right way.
- 9:22Speaker 4: They just chuck it in the bin. You're not supposed
- 9:25Speaker 4: to do that.
- 9:25Speaker 5: But they rightly make the argument that we can't just
- 9:28Speaker 5: tell people not to throw their batteries in the bin
- 9:30Speaker 5: when there's nowhere else to put them.
- 9:32Speaker 2: One of the most dangerous things you can do is
- 9:34Speaker 2: charge your scooter, for instance, at your front door, inside
- 9:38Speaker 2: your apartment, or in your house.
- 9:40Speaker 1: My kids had an.
- 9:41Speaker 2: Electric scooter, which we greatly enjoyed racing around local car parks.
- 9:45Speaker 2: But of course they would bring it inside the house,
- 9:47Speaker 2: put it in the front door, plug it in. But
- 9:50Speaker 2: now you know, of course, artis patches on fire.
- 9:52Speaker 1: You got to get out. There's the exits.
- 9:54Speaker 3: It's an interesting thing and there's a site. There's a
- 9:56Speaker 3: line in the story about the factory fire in South
- 9:59Speaker 3: Korea that alarming, just a line in passing right and says,
- 10:03Speaker 3: the fire, which has largely been extinguished, occurred at about
- 10:08Speaker 3: ten thirty am on Monday. I'm not filled with confidence
- 10:12Speaker 3: by the use of the word largely because isn't the
- 10:15Speaker 3: whole thing that these things just currently put out like
- 10:17Speaker 3: you're just you're just constantly, constantly you think you've got it out,
- 10:20Speaker 3: like firefighters are having to learn new techniques to put
- 10:22Speaker 3: out with your mind fighters. And again, this is not new.
- 10:24Speaker 3: We've had new technologies that are hard to deal with
- 10:26Speaker 3: and kill people and since time immemorial. But you know,
- 10:29Speaker 3: as if this is meant to be reassuring the fire
- 10:32Speaker 3: which has largely been extinguished, So hey, guys, is the
- 10:34Speaker 3: fire out in the house yet?
- 10:35Speaker 5: Oh? Largely that there was thirty five thousand units in
- 10:40Speaker 5: this factory. So a lithium bactory fire is bad enough,
- 10:44Speaker 5: but imagine that many units going up in flame.
- 10:48Speaker 2: Well, the article says, and we showed the vision of
- 10:50Speaker 2: how it started. Within fifteen seconds it took before the
- 10:54Speaker 2: whole place was on fire. Of course, sticking with electric vehicles.
- 10:58Speaker 2: One of the challenges is the reliab of these vehicles,
- 11:01Speaker 2: considering most of them are now coming from China. Fascinating
- 11:05Speaker 2: story in the papers this week about Sarah from northern
- 11:07Speaker 2: New South Wales who had an absolute horrid time with
- 11:11Speaker 2: her new hybrid MG manufactured in China. Now she thought
- 11:15Speaker 2: she got a bargain forty nine thousand dollars hybrid MG.
- 11:19Speaker 2: But listen to her describe what happened after she drove
- 11:22Speaker 2: it away from the dealership in.
- 11:24Speaker 1: Sutherland, Sydney.
- 11:25Speaker 2: She says, immediately after driving it out of the dealership,
- 11:28Speaker 2: she experienced a catastrophic power failure, whereby I couldn't even
- 11:33Speaker 2: engage the electronic break the alone acceleration or steering. So
- 11:38Speaker 2: it's one thing for your brakes to go, Liz, but
- 11:40Speaker 2: I would suggest that when you're steering and your acceleration
- 11:43Speaker 2: searing do nothing, you are completely out of control.
- 11:46Speaker 1: She carries on.
- 11:47Speaker 2: Thankfully I stopped meters short of a major intersection in Sydney.
- 11:52Speaker 2: I did, however, have to keep my foot on the
- 11:54Speaker 2: brake for ninety minutes until a tow truck arrived.
- 11:58Speaker 3: Oh hang on a minute of the breaks working or not?
- 12:01Speaker 2: Good point see it's very confusing with these anyway, Police
- 12:05Speaker 2: and DMC Transport Management Center also had to attend due
- 12:09Speaker 2: to the traffic hazard. So she takes the car back
- 12:12Speaker 2: to the dealership and says, look, the brakes failed, the
- 12:15Speaker 2: accelerator failed, the steering failed. Can you please do something
- 12:20Speaker 2: about this? They were very apologetic and a representative apologized
- 12:26Speaker 2: these were unfortunate events. The dealership said that happened on
- 12:29Speaker 2: the day of delivery with your new car. They replaced
- 12:33Speaker 2: the battery, paid all the expenses, etc. And she was
- 12:37Speaker 2: told go home. You have had an incredibly unlucky day.
- 12:42Speaker 3: I'd to say that is the most Eastern Zen way
- 12:44Speaker 3: of describing what happened. It was unlucky, unfortunate events that
- 12:48Speaker 3: happened on day of delivery with your new car was
- 12:51Speaker 3: very unlucky.
- 12:52Speaker 1: The breaks failed. That's unlucky.
- 12:54Speaker 3: It's like a fortune cookie.
- 12:56Speaker 1: But wait, it gets worse.
- 12:57Speaker 2: Nine days later, she's in Belena in northern New South
- 13:01Speaker 2: Wales and the battery fails again. This time she can't
- 13:05Speaker 2: start the car, but warning lights are going off NonStop.
- 13:09Speaker 2: She can't stop the warning lights going off, so she
- 13:12Speaker 2: returns the car a second time and is told, look,
- 13:15Speaker 2: we've tested the battery. There is no fault at all.
- 13:18Speaker 2: The car is yours. Well, she didn't want it at
- 13:21Speaker 2: this point. She said, look, I can't rely on the
- 13:23Speaker 2: breaks to work. I can't rely that it's going to
- 13:25Speaker 2: start when I need it to. Could you please take
- 13:28Speaker 2: it off my hands? But unfortunately the dealer said, we're
- 13:32Speaker 2: not in a position to take it back from you.
- 13:34Speaker 2: This raises the question, do you remember we always used
- 13:36Speaker 2: to make the jokes about stuff made in China. Yep,
- 13:38Speaker 2: you know it's cheap Chinese stuff, But now most of
- 13:41Speaker 2: the cars people are driving are made in China.
- 13:44Speaker 3: Yeah, And look, I would be very much of that
- 13:46Speaker 3: same view, except for the fact that this sounds exactly
- 13:49Speaker 3: what happens with my Falcon every single day of my life.
- 13:53Speaker 3: It won't start. People are looking at it going it
- 13:56Speaker 3: seems like one hundred years old and a bit yeah,
- 14:00Speaker 3: like no, it's what he said. It's two thousand and
- 14:02Speaker 3: eight something I was, and it's meant to be a
- 14:04Speaker 3: workhorse at last. Forever it had the thing where the
- 14:07Speaker 3: engine mobilizer just didn't work. It just didn't. It just
- 14:10Speaker 3: didn't know. No one really knew what it was. They
- 14:11Speaker 3: tried to fix and fixed one thing and could fix
- 14:13Speaker 3: another thing. They had a thing where the LPG just
- 14:16Speaker 3: would never ever kick in. I still don't know what
- 14:18Speaker 3: my mechanic did, only he understands it better than me.
- 14:20Speaker 3: It somehow got not one but two insect infestations with
- 14:26Speaker 3: not one but two different types of insects. So first
- 14:28Speaker 3: it was ants, then it was German cockroaches. I wouldn't
- 14:31Speaker 3: mind if it was just normal cockroaches. German issue? Was
- 14:34Speaker 3: that an issue with how you've been? Just just me?
- 14:37Speaker 3: Because I'm just cursed. I'm just absolutely cursed. We can't
- 14:41Speaker 3: and I could go on and on and on and
- 14:42Speaker 3: on and on. The jack just disappeared, like the tires
- 14:46Speaker 3: of every single tire has blown out of everything. The ball,
- 14:50Speaker 3: the ball joints on the wheels, right the wheels are
- 14:53Speaker 3: literally falling off. The ball joints on the wheels just
- 14:56Speaker 3: last month, right fully just snapped like like.
- 14:59Speaker 4: Just feel like you can relate to Sarah.
- 15:01Speaker 3: I think Sarah should count her lucky stars. She's true down. No,
- 15:06Speaker 3: I don't go for the hat trick. See what it
- 15:08Speaker 3: can do. H incredible. I think my panel bet has
- 15:12Speaker 3: gone off on a bender somewhere. I can't even get
- 15:14Speaker 3: a hold of it.
- 15:16Speaker 4: Ara, you have not got problem.
- 15:19Speaker 5: Sure, you're fifty k out of pocket and your car
- 15:21Speaker 5: doesn't work, and the dealerships denying that anything untoward has
- 15:25Speaker 5: happened to you or the car. But Joe, Joe is
- 15:28Speaker 5: the one that you should be pitying.
- 15:30Speaker 1: Well.
- 15:30Speaker 4: Over the last forty eight.
- 15:31Speaker 5: Hours, we have seen an absolute master class of how
- 15:35Speaker 5: to handle the lefty media in Australia. This master class
- 15:39Speaker 5: was held by two Americans, one on Australian soil and
- 15:43Speaker 5: the rest via skype back home in America. The first
- 15:46Speaker 5: is congress Woman Marjorie Taylor Green.
- 15:50Speaker 4: She's a big Trump supporter. She's a Republican.
- 15:53Speaker 5: Through and through, and funnily enough, I can't believe this either.
- 15:58Speaker 5: The ABC's Sarah fir Ferguson decided to have Marjorie on
- 16:03Speaker 5: her show last night to talk about Julian assanj Also,
- 16:09Speaker 5: she said, here's a little bit of how it went.
- 16:13Speaker 5: You've never accepted the results of the twenty twenty presidential election.
- 16:17Speaker 4: Indeed, you've lionized people for.
- 16:20Speaker 6: Sarah, aren't we talking about Julian Assange?
- 16:23Speaker 4: Sarah? Are you?
- 16:24Speaker 6: Are you even as sirius or even a serious interviewer.
- 16:28Speaker 6: I thought, we're talking about Julian Assane here today. That's
- 16:31Speaker 6: what you were asking me to come on to your
- 16:33Speaker 6: Australian news show. I don't usually do interviews like this
- 16:37Speaker 6: because people like you can't be taken seriously.
- 16:41Speaker 5: I love it. She was basically like, I'm not playing ball.
- 16:44Speaker 5: You asked me on to talk about Julian Assange. None
- 16:47Speaker 5: of this has to do with Julian assangje And this
- 16:49Speaker 5: went on for several minutes because that American woman, that
- 16:53Speaker 5: congress woman, wasn't taking a bar of it from the
- 16:57Speaker 5: ABC's Ferguson just how I was earlier. We've got Tucker
- 17:02Speaker 5: Carlson in Australia at the moment.
- 17:04Speaker 4: As you may be aware, he was in Canberra.
- 17:06Speaker 5: Answering some questions from the press and he was copying
- 17:10Speaker 5: a bit more of the same and once again showed
- 17:14Speaker 5: us how it's done.
- 17:15Speaker 7: And in the past you've talked about how white Australians,
- 17:19Speaker 7: Americans Europeans are being replaced.
- 17:21Speaker 5: By non white immigrants in what is often referred to
- 17:23Speaker 5: as the Great Replacement theory.
- 17:26Speaker 4: This is the same I have.
- 17:26Speaker 8: I said that whites are being replaced. Well, I don't
- 17:31Speaker 8: think I said that, Well, it's been mentioned on your
- 17:33Speaker 8: show four thousand times, And really, when did I say
- 17:35Speaker 8: that on your I said whites are being replaced?
- 17:39Speaker 4: You have said that before?
- 17:40Speaker 1: Really, yeah, I.
- 17:41Speaker 8: Would challenge you to say that, because I'm pretty sure
- 17:43Speaker 8: I haven't said that. I said, I said native born
- 17:45Speaker 8: Americans have are being replaced, including blacks.
- 17:49Speaker 5: I'm sorry to say it did not get any better
- 17:51Speaker 5: from this reporter at the AAP.
- 17:55Speaker 1: We just met.
- 17:56Speaker 8: But when our relationship starts with a lie, it makes
- 17:58Speaker 8: it tough to be friends.
- 18:00Speaker 1: I mean, you've been looking at.
- 18:00Speaker 8: That stupid in the media.
- 18:03Speaker 1: I guess it doesn't pay well.
- 18:04Speaker 8: How dare you try to tie me to some lunatic
- 18:06Speaker 8: who murdered people? How dare you actually and in fact,
- 18:11Speaker 8: I mean, do you know what I mean?
- 18:13Speaker 5: And sadly, Tucker was left with no other option to
- 18:17Speaker 5: conclude with this banger.
- 18:20Speaker 8: And I just feel sorry. I mean, because I got
- 18:22Speaker 8: here in the country so unbelievably beautiful and the people
- 18:25Speaker 8: are so cheerful and funny and cool and smart. I'm like,
- 18:28Speaker 8: your media has got to be better than ours. It
- 18:30Speaker 8: can't just be a bunch of castrated robots reading questions
- 18:32Speaker 8: from the boss and then it turns out it's exactly
- 18:36Speaker 8: the same, maybe even a tiny bit dumber.
- 18:40Speaker 5: Castrated robots reading questions from the boss. I didn't think
- 18:44Speaker 5: I could love Tucker Carlson more than I already do,
- 18:47Speaker 5: and yet that is just that is pure poetry.
- 18:49Speaker 3: I take offense to that. I am not a robot.
- 18:54Speaker 1: I think you've.
- 18:55Speaker 5: Protected immediately talking about everything.
- 18:59Speaker 2: Also, it's true we should put out that interaction with
- 19:03Speaker 2: Tucker and the journalist went for about six or seven minutes.
- 19:06Speaker 1: Oh yeah, And Tucker started off.
- 19:08Speaker 2: Trying to be quite gracious and gentle with her, but
- 19:12Speaker 2: she just kept on going and going, and so eventually
- 19:14Speaker 2: he didn't lose his call, but he did become quite
- 19:17Speaker 2: direct with her. And that's something I think that the
- 19:20Speaker 2: American press and American politicians are far more used to
- 19:23Speaker 2: than we are here in Australia. Same on the ABC
- 19:26Speaker 2: there with the Republican who pushed back on Sarah Ferguson.
- 19:31Speaker 2: Our media probably aren't that used to it, but the
- 19:34Speaker 2: Rgie bargie in America is far more prevalent.
- 19:37Speaker 1: But our conservative politicians should do.
- 19:39Speaker 2: More of that, call out the ideological bias of journalists
- 19:43Speaker 2: and refused to be pushed around.
- 19:44Speaker 5: And also, just like Marjorie Taylor Green said, you asked
- 19:47Speaker 5: me on your show about this thing.
- 19:49Speaker 4: That's why I'm on here.
- 19:50Speaker 5: I don't normally do these interviews, but I came on
- 19:53Speaker 5: the premise of this was the agreed topic. Sarah Ferguson
- 19:57Speaker 5: was asking her about election denial, saying what will you
- 20:01Speaker 5: do if Biden wins at the end of the year,
- 20:03Speaker 5: all these ridiculous about the about the debate on Friday.
- 20:08Speaker 3: No, you know, this is our main topic. And then
- 20:12Speaker 3: when you've got someone you try to ask some other stuff.
- 20:14Speaker 3: That's clearly that clearly was have to answer it.
- 20:18Speaker 5: Women laid that clear, made that clear to Sarah Ferguson.
- 20:23Speaker 5: Ferguson just rudely kept on going madam stylers.
- 20:29Speaker 3: She held her own and you know, good on, But
- 20:32Speaker 3: that doesn't I don't think that you shouldn't say, you know,
- 20:34Speaker 3: the journalists can't ask this, but can't ask that, or.
- 20:36Speaker 4: That's not what we're saying. We're simply saying.
- 20:38Speaker 5: I love this bullshy approach by these American conservatives where
- 20:43Speaker 5: they're like, no, you're not going to walk her all
- 20:45Speaker 5: over me.
- 20:45Speaker 4: You're not going to put Marjorie.
- 20:46Speaker 2: Taylor Green called out the bias in Sarah Ferguson's question
- 20:50Speaker 2: because she began the question with words the effect, you've
- 20:52Speaker 2: been known to deny the result of the twenty twenty
- 20:55Speaker 2: election so immediately, But.
- 20:57Speaker 3: Is that has has she not questioned the result of
- 20:59Speaker 3: the twenty twenty election? Is that not true?
- 21:01Speaker 5: Hasn't everyone with a single firing neuro between between the ballots,
- 21:07Speaker 5: between the midnight Come on, Joe, there is a very
- 21:12Speaker 5: long list now with.
- 21:15Speaker 2: Hillary Clinton also denied the result of an election, But
- 21:18Speaker 2: the way the question was phrased.
- 21:20Speaker 3: It was pritic clear she didn't the election. Was she
- 21:22Speaker 3: winged and mind about the electoral college system and said
- 21:24Speaker 3: it wasn't fair because she got more popular votes?
- 21:26Speaker 5: And I'm sorry, joke.
- 21:37Speaker 4: In terminology are stolen election? So if you want to.
- 21:43Speaker 3: An extremely critical of Hillary Clinton's use of I don't
- 21:46Speaker 3: know if she said it was stolen. I think she
- 21:47Speaker 3: said was she did well? Okay, fine, but.
- 21:50Speaker 4: They all did at nauseam.
- 21:51Speaker 3: But she she certainly winged and complained about fake news,
- 21:54Speaker 3: and that came back to buy her on the proverbial.
- 21:55Speaker 3: But still, anyway, let's get to something that we can
- 21:58Speaker 3: all agree to hate, which is these little noodle armed
- 22:01Speaker 3: protesters at Newcastle Port. This is a blockade. Australia have
- 22:07Speaker 3: been disrupting Newcastle Port for climate action and we've got
- 22:11Speaker 3: just a little sample of their I know that sky
- 22:15Speaker 3: sky viewers are incredibly sophisticated. They're very politically engaged. But
- 22:20Speaker 3: even though I think might struggle with the subtle nuance
- 22:23Speaker 3: of this particular protesters manifesto have a.
- 22:27Speaker 9: Listened blocking the world's largest coalport, currently stopping trains just shockers.
- 22:37Speaker 3: Full of coal.
- 22:40Speaker 1: I'm on a little structure.
- 22:43Speaker 9: I managed to hold the trains and hopefully we'll be
- 22:47Speaker 9: doing so for for quite some time. I want to
- 22:51Speaker 9: start by acknowledging the fact I will start by saying
- 22:54Speaker 9: I'm from Gimbangia Country. My name Sam from company can
- 23:00Speaker 9: Bang your country. I don't know this area too well,
- 23:03Speaker 9: but I'd like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land.
- 23:11Speaker 5: Are they the traditional custodians of the Oh it's the railway, Okay, okay.
- 23:18Speaker 3: I just love it so but you're already started. You
- 23:22Speaker 3: can't go. I'd like to start by like that you've
- 23:27Speaker 3: already started.
- 23:28Speaker 4: That was technicality, Joe.
- 23:30Speaker 3: Secondly, did you ask the traditional custodians of the land,
- 23:33Speaker 3: if you could go and shain yourself to their to
- 23:37Speaker 3: their coal trains, I think the traditional custodian of the land.
- 23:40Speaker 5: Probably would have been like, yeah, no, Actually.
- 23:45Speaker 2: Australia protest. They've done six or seven protests over the
- 23:48Speaker 2: last three days and I think they've got a couple
- 23:49Speaker 2: more days of protesting to go. But a spokesperson for
- 23:53Speaker 2: the railway said that while they have blocked the railway tracks,
- 23:58Speaker 2: coal trains have had to remain stationary, but for technical
- 24:01Speaker 2: reasons they have to keep their diesel engine help and
- 24:05Speaker 2: it estimates that they have burned one hundred and ten
- 24:07Speaker 2: thousand liters of fuel sitting stationary waiting.
- 24:13Speaker 4: It makes to be growth.
- 24:15Speaker 2: So if carbon emissions cause catastrophic bushfires and we end
- 24:18Speaker 2: up with catastrophic bushfires, blame Blockade Australia for the one
- 24:22Speaker 2: hundred and ten thousand liters of diesel that were burned
- 24:25Speaker 2: because of their protest that otherwise would not have been burglar.
- 24:29Speaker 5: They are explaining their actions from the words of Blockade
- 24:33Speaker 5: Australia itself quote it's because the Australian state doesn't listen
- 24:37Speaker 5: to us GEE. I wonder why whether it be climate change,
- 24:41Speaker 5: whether it be the genocide occurring right now in Palestine,
- 24:44Speaker 5: whether it be the absurd cost of living and price
- 24:46Speaker 5: gouging in our supermarkets.
- 24:48Speaker 4: Okay, blockade Australia, which is it?
- 24:51Speaker 5: Okay, just take every single lefty issue under the sun,
- 24:55Speaker 5: smoosh them together in some amorphous blob of nothingness and
- 24:59Speaker 5: be like, yeah, that's why we're stopping the coal train.
- 25:02Speaker 3: But do you know that you know the old joke,
- 25:04Speaker 3: if you heard the old the old joke, and everyone
- 25:07Speaker 3: just whole judgment for a day, and someone goes, what's
- 25:09Speaker 3: worse than having your lunch stolen? The Holocaust? Because the
- 25:13Speaker 3: idea is that these two things are so grotesquely apart
- 25:17Speaker 3: that they can't possibly be compared.
- 25:19Speaker 4: I've never heard that this guy.
- 25:21Speaker 3: Has done it. He's compared to the genocide occurring right
- 25:24Speaker 3: now in Palestine with price gouging at our slop market.
- 25:29Speaker 3: So this guy like, he claims obviously to be all
- 25:32Speaker 3: in on the next genocide. And also, why does my
- 25:36Speaker 3: French stick cost ninety cents more than it did last year?
- 25:40Speaker 2: And speaking of cost of bating, all these people trying
- 25:43Speaker 2: to get to work couldn't take trains because they were
- 25:45Speaker 2: blockading the line they could drive.
- 25:48Speaker 1: Everyone had to drive, polluting the environment, or.
- 25:50Speaker 2: Had to catch buses, So indeed, you know they're making
- 25:53Speaker 2: the environment worse of living. But that wasn't my favorite
- 25:57Speaker 2: protest from these blockade.
- 25:58Speaker 4: Oh no, the best is yet to.
- 26:00Speaker 2: The best came from a couple of elderly ladies who
- 26:02Speaker 2: climbed on top of a train and then thought, how
- 26:05Speaker 2: can we best make our points? So if people understand
- 26:07Speaker 2: the seriousness the gravity of the climate crisis, and they
- 26:12Speaker 2: came up with this, stop.
- 26:14Speaker 6: In the name of life before we break apart, Stop
- 26:21Speaker 6: in the name of life.
- 26:24Speaker 7: This could be our last chance before reo.
- 26:28Speaker 5: This coal is killing us too.
- 26:32Speaker 4: The US.
- 26:34Speaker 2: If the choice is global warming or those two singing,
- 26:37Speaker 2: give me global warming any day of the week, I
- 26:40Speaker 2: hope the climate crisis come.
- 26:42Speaker 5: On a lot of effort into that mac into that
- 26:46Speaker 5: no one should be allowed to protest from now on
- 26:49Speaker 5: unless you've got some sick beats like that.
- 26:51Speaker 2: You must watch a Supremes classic in order to save
- 26:54Speaker 2: the environment.
- 26:55Speaker 1: Why didn't break.
- 26:56Speaker 3: Why didn't that come with the trigger warning?
- 26:59Speaker 4: How should it witch a strap? Sorry Joe?
- 27:02Speaker 3: And it didn't even rhyme, And they obviously hadn't worked
- 27:06Speaker 3: out the words between them Beforehandoh the name of love, the.
- 27:12Speaker 5: New version like the lady that we were talking about
- 27:15Speaker 5: last night who decided to make her own version of
- 27:17Speaker 5: the Australian anthem. The other thing was actually, think, there's
- 27:19Speaker 5: sounds good.
- 27:20Speaker 2: We don't have to take the first recording like they
- 27:22Speaker 2: could have gone, you know, tuneless.
- 27:25Speaker 4: You don't know that that wasn't the best out of fifty.
- 27:28Speaker 1: I hope it was.
- 27:28Speaker 3: Probably like why did it have to be a cappella?
- 27:32Speaker 3: I mean, it's not like there's a shortage of hippies
- 27:34Speaker 3: who can play the guitar.
- 27:37Speaker 2: I thought one of the ladies was trying to do harmony,
- 27:39Speaker 2: but then I just realized, no, she was just that's right.
- 27:42Speaker 3: She was just out of tune by exactly one third.
- 27:44Speaker 4: The passion made up for it, right.
- 27:47Speaker 2: Both ladies were arrested and appeared in Newcastle Court. I'm
- 27:50Speaker 2: not sure what the punishment was, but I hope it
- 27:53Speaker 2: was we.
- 27:53Speaker 1: Know what the charge because we will be.
- 27:56Speaker 3: I think, couldn't you just like play their song back
- 27:59Speaker 3: to them?
- 28:01Speaker 5: I'm sure they were singing it in court and that's
- 28:03Speaker 5: what the judge would have banged the gavel on to America.
- 28:06Speaker 4: Now we're a United Airlines.
- 28:09Speaker 5: Will someone trying to board one of the United Airlines planes.
- 28:13Speaker 4: Has been told they can, in fact not bored.
- 28:16Speaker 5: This woman was there with her toddler and her well,
- 28:20Speaker 5: it wouldn't have been her grandmother, it would have been
- 28:22Speaker 5: her mother. She's trying to board, and she's told by
- 28:25Speaker 5: the staff, no, you may not come on board because
- 28:29Speaker 5: you misgendered.
- 28:30Speaker 4: One of the staff.
- 28:32Speaker 5: Apparently one of the people on board serving customers was transgender.
- 28:38Speaker 4: Hear it herself, Well, hear it from her herself.
- 28:41Speaker 3: This is the muffaul.
- 28:45Speaker 4: I'm sure it's her.
- 28:48Speaker 7: My son and I are United Airlines waiting for a
- 28:51Speaker 7: flight from can Francs going to ask them, and the
- 28:54Speaker 7: flight attendant has denied access to us because he said
- 28:56Speaker 7: that id a derogatory climent about one of the hat
- 29:00Speaker 7: at ten minutes because they didn't use a rate pronoun
- 29:02Speaker 7: Now there are they are forbidding us to get on
- 29:05Speaker 7: the plane.
- 29:06Speaker 3: I am with my son. He is twenty five pounds.
- 29:08Speaker 7: I've been carried him for about thirty minutes. He denied
- 29:11Speaker 7: us boarding priority, and now they're about to deny us
- 29:16Speaker 7: to board the plane.
- 29:18Speaker 4: We'll see what happens.
- 29:20Speaker 5: The tyranny of thou shalt not question the agenda, Thou
- 29:24Speaker 5: shalt not question the new religion.
- 29:26Speaker 4: You will give in too compelled speech.
- 29:28Speaker 5: You will use pronouns that you know do not actually
- 29:32Speaker 5: belong to the gender that you know that person is.
- 29:35Speaker 4: This woman was not allowed to board. She did not
- 29:38Speaker 4: catch that flight, and she was stuck in the airport
- 29:41Speaker 4: for hours with her.
- 29:42Speaker 5: Baby and her seventy five year old mother until the
- 29:46Speaker 5: United Airlines agreed to put her on a different flight,
- 29:50Speaker 5: I'm assuming one without a trans hostess, and she finally
- 29:56Speaker 5: made it home.
- 29:57Speaker 3: Was how disgusting, I'm did she just accidentally say call
- 30:03Speaker 3: her him or him her or they them, or did
- 30:06Speaker 3: she actually say something that the.
- 30:07Speaker 2: Flight attendant was a biological man in address and the
- 30:14Speaker 2: lady here said to the flight attendant, thank you, sir,
- 30:17Speaker 2: at which point another flight attendant said, she's in address,
- 30:20Speaker 2: and the lady that we heard from said, you know what,
- 30:23Speaker 2: I'm trying to get my child and my mother on
- 30:25Speaker 2: the plane. I'm not really worried about trying to use
- 30:28Speaker 2: correct pronouns. It wasn't delivered nothing, thank you sir.
- 30:32Speaker 1: She was thrown off the aircraft.
- 30:34Speaker 3: So it's kind of like when you jump into a
- 30:36Speaker 3: taxi and after you finally hailed right down and you
- 30:38Speaker 3: jump thanks mate, and then you look over and it's
- 30:41Speaker 3: a woman driver.
- 30:42Speaker 1: Next minute, and.
- 30:45Speaker 3: So totally.
- 30:46Speaker 2: But you know, maybe this explains why United are so
- 30:50Speaker 2: firm on this. Have a look at United CEO Scott
- 30:54Speaker 2: Kirby recently performing as part of a drag routine.
- 31:13Speaker 1: So that explains why they were so triggered.
- 31:18Speaker 3: Pronoun that's cultural appropriation, Like that's not even proper drag.
- 31:22Speaker 3: That's like the end of season footy party's drag it up. No, no,
- 31:27Speaker 3: they're not putting his effort into it. If you're gonna
- 31:29Speaker 3: wear drag properly, you've got to at least like try
- 31:31Speaker 3: to act and move and sing and talk like a
- 31:34Speaker 3: woman like he just got on the full forward something
- 31:38Speaker 3: from Melbourne.
- 31:39Speaker 5: You know, I know that that is not his best drag,
- 31:43Speaker 5: but certainly it does explain why you now have an
- 31:46Speaker 5: entire airline that is literally enforcing this mac It's like
- 31:51Speaker 5: you cannot even board a plane because you accidentally called
- 31:55Speaker 5: someone sir. Now, the woman never denied or confirmed whether
- 31:59Speaker 5: she'd intentional done it, but like you say, she was
- 32:02Speaker 5: just like sorry, I'm just trying.
- 32:03Speaker 4: To get everyone on board this plane.
- 32:05Speaker 5: I'm trying to find our seats, etc. Not my first
- 32:08Speaker 5: priority at the moment, and that got her thrown off.
- 32:12Speaker 5: We talk about the thought police, we talk about compelled speech,
- 32:16Speaker 5: freedom of speech. This is a hair raising case of
- 32:21Speaker 5: you got one word wrong and you're thrown off a flight.
- 32:24Speaker 2: And according to news reports, United initially said no, no, it
- 32:27Speaker 2: was because you had excess luggage that we put you
- 32:29Speaker 2: off the floor, and they denied it had anything to
- 32:32Speaker 2: do with the misgendering. Only later did they agree to that.
- 32:36Speaker 2: But the flight took off, leaving this mum and her child,
- 32:40Speaker 2: all their bags and medication for the grandmother were all
- 32:44Speaker 2: on the plane. That all disappeared and they were left
- 32:46Speaker 2: standing there because, as you said, they refused to buy
- 32:50Speaker 2: into the whole gender theory. Let's go to Victoria where
- 32:54Speaker 2: there's going to be a debate over whether or not
- 32:57Speaker 2: the Lord's Prayer should be said at the at the
- 33:00Speaker 2: start of parliament. Now, aside from in the Act, every
- 33:04Speaker 2: parliament around the country begins sitting days with the Lord's Prayer.
- 33:07Speaker 2: And we all know what's happened to the Act since
- 33:09Speaker 2: they stopped saying the prayer. In nineteen ninety or five decriminalized.
- 33:14Speaker 1: We've been smitherowin Ice.
- 33:16Speaker 2: You can decide whether there's any connection. But the Victorian Premier.
- 33:21Speaker 1: Just sent to Allen.
- 33:22Speaker 2: She said earlier this year that because of Victoria's diversity,
- 33:26Speaker 2: they should look again at parliamentary traditions, i e. Whether
- 33:30Speaker 2: they should continue with the Christian Lord's Prayer based on
- 33:33Speaker 2: the fact that presumably there are so many new immigrants
- 33:36Speaker 2: in the state. Leaving aside the fact that most new
- 33:39Speaker 2: immigrants coming to Australia are highly religious people, many of
- 33:43Speaker 2: them Christians, and a couple of labor MPs have set
- 33:46Speaker 2: out the Lord's Prayer recently because they didn't like what
- 33:49Speaker 2: the Pope said about surrogacy, which surprised me because I
- 33:52Speaker 2: didn't realize when you pray the Lord's Prayer you're praying.
- 33:54Speaker 1: To the Pope.
- 33:55Speaker 2: I thought it was that, oh, yeah, to God. But
- 33:57Speaker 2: anyway they're going to because.
- 34:00Speaker 3: The Catholic Church's complicated.
- 34:03Speaker 2: The Catholic Archbishop of Melbourne has organized a petition of
- 34:07Speaker 2: over ten thousand people, which if presented to Parliament as
- 34:10Speaker 2: it has been, means there must be a debate on
- 34:12Speaker 2: the subject. So next month Parliamentarians in Victoria will debate
- 34:17Speaker 2: whether or not the Lord's Prayer, which is a one
- 34:19Speaker 2: hundred year tradition in this country, should continue to be.
- 34:23Speaker 1: Said in the act. Is they got rid of the
- 34:25Speaker 1: Lord's prayer? They have a moment of private reflection.
- 34:29Speaker 3: It doesn't say you've done much to it.
- 34:33Speaker 5: Firstly, I was surprised to learn that Victoria still had this.
- 34:37Speaker 5: They keep trying the government and I'm kind of like,
- 34:40Speaker 5: clearly it's not working anyway.
- 34:42Speaker 4: So you know what, just dit shit.
- 34:44Speaker 5: Because God's not fooled by a pile of godless people
- 34:48Speaker 5: going through the motions means absolutely nothing to him. Okay,
- 34:52Speaker 5: so unless you do mean it, you're wasting his time
- 34:55Speaker 5: and your breath.
- 34:56Speaker 3: I think you're wasting time though, how absolutely bare of
- 35:00Speaker 3: any real problems or any sense of priority would you
- 35:04Speaker 3: be to even consider this? Now I've worked, I've worked
- 35:07Speaker 3: in partiment for many years' work news to have wild
- 35:09Speaker 3: apartment for many years. The preer. No one notices the prayer.
- 35:12Speaker 3: It's not being done during question time or a time
- 35:14Speaker 3: when anyone is paying the remotest amount of attention to Parliament.
- 35:18Speaker 3: It's a mere formality. People don't have to say it
- 35:20Speaker 3: if they don't want to. They you know, some might
- 35:22Speaker 3: sort of mumble at Most people don't even pay any
- 35:25Speaker 3: attention to it. Most people probably aren't even in the
- 35:27Speaker 3: Parliament at the time, and so you know, it means
- 35:32Speaker 3: absolutely nothing to anyone. There might be some people in
- 35:35Speaker 3: a department for whom it means a whole lot and
- 35:36Speaker 3: they take it really seriously. But again for someone to
- 35:39Speaker 3: just suddenly say, let's make this issue number one, and
- 35:41Speaker 3: the Greens used to do this all the time in
- 35:43Speaker 3: federal apartment. You know, I don't have any yarns here.
- 35:46Speaker 3: Come back from the Christmas break, Oh we'll go to
- 35:47Speaker 3: band the Lord's Prayer And that was and that was
- 35:50Speaker 3: Richard di Natali, the most sensible Green wanted to do.
- 35:53Speaker 2: It should bring a level of comfort that our politicians,
- 35:58Speaker 2: before they make decisions, take a moment to acknowledge they
- 36:00Speaker 2: are not the highest authority.
- 36:02Speaker 4: But they're not acknowledging it.
- 36:03Speaker 5: They don't mean it. They're not acknowledging it. Like I say,
- 36:06Speaker 5: God's not do they acknowledge it or not?
- 36:08Speaker 3: At least the words they've got to say something, they're
- 36:11Speaker 3: not said by them.
- 36:12Speaker 5: As as I used to work in wa Parliament, for
- 36:15Speaker 5: many years and the same goes there.
- 36:17Speaker 4: Well, people aren't actually praying.
- 36:19Speaker 5: It, mag.
- 36:21Speaker 3: But also I think, can I just make it clear though,
- 36:23Speaker 3: I do actually think they should abolish it. I think
- 36:26Speaker 3: they should abolish the Lord's prayer that they say in
- 36:28Speaker 3: Parliament beginning and replace it with a Catholics Lord Prayer,
- 36:30Speaker 3: which should have made all along, because they're seeing a
- 36:33Speaker 3: botty Lord prayer in Parliament. Where that gets you? Ont purgatory, buddy,
- 36:38Speaker 3: get out of it.
- 36:39Speaker 4: We don't even believe in purgatory.
- 36:41Speaker 5: God is waiting decision maker than that it's heaven or hell. Baby,
- 36:45Speaker 5: you guys, there's a waiting room, and then you can.
- 36:47Speaker 4: Still do some negotiation nonsense.
- 36:50Speaker 1: We're going to continue the theological argument and the break.
- 36:53Speaker 2: We're going to go to a break right now. But
- 36:54Speaker 2: when we come back, we'll look at what's making news
- 36:56Speaker 2: in tomorrow's papers. That's coming up in just a moment.
- 37:02Speaker 2: All right, let's take a look at what's making headlines tomorrow, Liz,
- 37:05Speaker 2: you kick it off for us.
- 37:06Speaker 5: To the ANTENUS defending from above drones aircraft descend or
- 37:11Speaker 5: Northern Territory. The first of all one billion Defense Force
- 37:15Speaker 5: babies has arrived in the Northern Territory, Australia's first MQ
- 37:19Speaker 5: four C Triton has arrived at the RUBAF base Tindall
- 37:24Speaker 5: and ears in the process of being prepared for formal
- 37:27Speaker 5: delivery to Defense. It comes as the Northern Territory prepares
- 37:31Speaker 5: to host the biggest flying activity in Air Force history.
- 37:35Speaker 4: In the twenty twenty four iteration of.
- 37:37Speaker 5: Exercise pitch Black, whoever comes up with these names, well done.
- 37:42Speaker 5: It sounds so epic. But look, unless we have drones.
- 37:47Speaker 5: Unless we have drones, we're dead in the water. You
- 37:51Speaker 5: guys must have seen the footage by now of the
- 37:53Speaker 5: war in Ukraine where you've got drones taking out full
- 37:58Speaker 5: on tanks, the little pee wee fifties.
- 38:01Speaker 4: They look like toy helicopters.
- 38:03Speaker 5: Tank warfare is over, it's done, it's dusted. And how
- 38:07Speaker 5: long before those same drones can bring down a flip
- 38:09Speaker 5: and aircraft if they can't already?
- 38:12Speaker 4: Seriously, the warfare of the future drone will.
- 38:15Speaker 3: Be fourd.
- 38:17Speaker 10: Yeah it is.
- 38:19Speaker 4: It is incredible.
- 38:20Speaker 5: So I love getting excited about new defense presies, but
- 38:24Speaker 5: at the same time, having seen the carnage that these
- 38:27Speaker 5: drones can do, I'm just like, all you need is drones.
- 38:31Speaker 2: Therones, the drones that the article speaks of US surveillance drones.
- 38:35Speaker 2: I think we've got some footage to show them. They're
- 38:36Speaker 2: worth a billion dollars each. But we will drones long
- 38:40Speaker 2: range surveillance, particularly to the north of Australia. Well you
- 38:46Speaker 2: know that's where the enemy would come from. And so
- 38:49Speaker 2: those are the drones. But the ones you're speaking.
- 38:50Speaker 1: Of, Liz, I want the blowing up one.
- 38:52Speaker 2: Well, the Australian government has got in development those kinds
- 38:56Speaker 2: of drones which.
- 38:56Speaker 4: In development sounds like decades away.
- 38:59Speaker 2: They can hop for thirty minutes with a lethal payload,
- 39:02Speaker 2: and that they expect them to be delivered by the
- 39:04Speaker 2: end of the year.
- 39:06Speaker 1: Will get your lethal drones lives, don't I'm.
- 39:09Speaker 5: Being serious guys, these things.
- 39:13Speaker 4: Everything else is useless. Okay, we just need the firing drone.
- 39:16Speaker 1: In the Red Sea.
- 39:17Speaker 2: You've got the Houthi rebels using drones to attack warships.
- 39:21Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, they can bring down ships.
- 39:23Speaker 2: That I haven't seen one of the because we have
- 39:26Speaker 2: no defense on our naval vessels against drones.
- 39:29Speaker 4: Exactly.
- 39:30Speaker 3: We do have a defense white paper though so very
- 39:34Speaker 3: held lots of submarines and so I was very body.
- 39:39Speaker 3: Do you know, fun fact, do you know why Pearl
- 39:43Speaker 3: Harbor happened? Or probably why One of the reasons why
- 39:47Speaker 3: it happened.
- 39:48Speaker 5: Because they met Ganks needed to join them war and
- 39:51Speaker 5: they need no, no.
- 39:52Speaker 3: No, it was not an inside job. I know you guys.
- 39:54Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. Commander meant to be doing area surveillance
- 40:01Speaker 3: look after and he thought it's just a waste of time,
- 40:04Speaker 3: and so they just can't. They did take a very
- 40:06Speaker 3: northerly route, so they went way out of where that
- 40:08Speaker 3: came from. But the guy was just not sending planes
- 40:11Speaker 3: in the air, so he was quite remorseful after that.
- 40:14Speaker 1: Probably needed a coffee.
- 40:15Speaker 3: They probably did need coffee, but not Peter mallanows because
- 40:18Speaker 3: he's getting his check this out seven cups a day,
- 40:22Speaker 3: says the front page of the Adelaide Advertiser. The premier's quote,
- 40:26Speaker 3: shameful secret addiction to coffee. It's not secret anymore, is
- 40:31Speaker 3: it made. It's out in the open in public again.
- 40:39Speaker 3: Look what my name is, Peter, and I'm a coffee.
- 40:43Speaker 2: That headache he's got it is not from a lack
- 40:45Speaker 2: of coffee. It's from the hospital and ambulance ramping problem.
- 40:48Speaker 2: That's headache.
- 40:49Speaker 3: That is, that is one headache, But seven does seem
- 40:52Speaker 3: a lot.
- 40:54Speaker 4: I'm just saying coffee is a gateway drug. So what
- 40:56Speaker 4: else is he on he's.
- 40:58Speaker 3: Addicted to this, he'd be tapping the liptuns.
- 41:01Speaker 6: I just.
- 41:02Speaker 3: I'm serious.
- 41:03Speaker 1: I'm just wondering.
- 41:05Speaker 2: Let me ask you, this is a journal, Joe. Do
- 41:07Speaker 2: people appreciate stuff like this? On the front page of
- 41:09Speaker 2: the paper when I mentioned the hospital system that's a
- 41:12Speaker 2: massive controversy in South Australia, people are really yeah, they'll
- 41:15Speaker 2: be all overund that the premiere on there talking about
- 41:17Speaker 2: how much coffee he has.
- 41:19Speaker 1: People look at that and think dud.
- 41:20Speaker 3: Just the truth is, it's a very sad and difficult truth.
- 41:26Speaker 3: But the truth is there is simply not enough news
- 41:29Speaker 3: in Australia to stay. That's media in Australia, which.
- 41:34Speaker 5: Is why the other half is a massive ad.
- 41:37Speaker 3: That is why I started my own podcast because that
- 41:40Speaker 3: was like the kind of name. But yeah, seven cups
- 41:42Speaker 3: of that that does seem to me to be a lot.
- 41:44Speaker 3: I'm like a two cup of days. I'm a two
- 41:46Speaker 3: cup streamer.
- 41:47Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I barely have one to day. I always
- 41:50Speaker 4: been a tea person.
- 41:51Speaker 1: The worst part about it. Read the article.
- 41:52Speaker 2: He goes on to blame his wife introducing him to
- 41:55Speaker 2: and it's instant coffee too, which is I knew it.
- 41:58Speaker 5: I've always thought that it is just place ebo and
- 42:02Speaker 5: it only works on weak minds. You know, there's people
- 42:04Speaker 5: who are like, oh, I can't function without my coffee.
- 42:07Speaker 4: Think of the functioning my whole life without it?
- 42:10Speaker 5: Like it seems to me more of a ritualistic thing
- 42:13Speaker 5: that people.
- 42:13Speaker 4: Do in the morning.
- 42:14Speaker 3: That's real. Are you a morning person coffee? Do you
- 42:17Speaker 3: get up out of bed? No? No, well maybe you
- 42:20Speaker 3: should try coffee.
- 42:22Speaker 2: That's kind The front page of the Herald Sun, the
- 42:25Speaker 2: headline reads UNI's threat to protesters.
- 42:28Speaker 1: This is interesting.
- 42:28Speaker 2: I didn't think the unions were bothered by protesters at all.
- 42:32Speaker 4: Melbourne, who knew you had it? En?
- 42:33Speaker 2: Students from Fort Melbourne universities are facing expulsion after attending
- 42:38Speaker 2: pro Palestinian protests. The University of Melbourne has issued academic
- 42:42Speaker 2: misconduct notices to pro Palestine protesters who occupied a major
- 42:47Speaker 2: arts building in May. Now That building was occupied for
- 42:50Speaker 2: ten days, causing thousands of other students to have to
- 42:54Speaker 2: have classes canceled or rescheduled. The University of Melbourne have
- 42:59Speaker 2: sent an email on Wednesday to students involved in that protest.
- 43:04Speaker 2: Email included CCTV stills then protesting in the building and
- 43:09Speaker 2: dates for a misconduct hearing. So we'll wait to see
- 43:13Speaker 2: just how serious the university is about that. Only ten
- 43:17Speaker 2: students have been called out, but Monash, Deacon and Latrov
- 43:20Speaker 2: Universities have apparently sent similar misconduct letters to students there.
- 43:26Speaker 3: So never that was my university, Melbourne University when I
- 43:32Speaker 3: was there as a young, rebellious rat bag student socialist.
- 43:36Speaker 4: I'm very embarrassed went the universe.
- 43:39Speaker 3: But they did, they did a similar thing I was.
- 43:41Speaker 3: I was actually the I was the media. I think
- 43:44Speaker 3: it was a media and police the aison officer for
- 43:47Speaker 3: their last or the occupation they did in the nineteen
- 43:50Speaker 3: nineties when I then operated the admin building occupied the
- 43:53Speaker 3: admin building it's called the Redmond Barry Building, and I
- 43:56Speaker 3: wasn't particularly particularly persuaded by that way to go. And
- 44:01Speaker 3: then I noticed them started they started just like ripping
- 44:04Speaker 3: up books and files and paper and they started throwing
- 44:07Speaker 3: stuff out that you know, I'm like, are we like
- 44:11Speaker 3: just kind of burning books? Now? Is this? Where?
- 44:13Speaker 4: Is this?
- 44:14Speaker 3: Where?
- 44:14Speaker 4: What were they trying to achieve by this.
- 44:16Speaker 3: What was that they were opposed to either voluntary student
- 44:18Speaker 3: unions or upfront fees or both.
- 44:21Speaker 2: It was always one of the the cost of living
- 44:24Speaker 2: and supermarket price gouging.
- 44:25Speaker 3: And genocide and supermarket price gouges.
- 44:28Speaker 2: That annoyed me most about these university protests is they
- 44:31Speaker 2: happened in America. First, we all watched it on our
- 44:34Speaker 2: TV screens, everybody, Mark Scott at Sydney University, all the
- 44:38Speaker 2: vice chancellors at the Melbourne universities, they all saw what
- 44:41Speaker 2: was going to happen. We watched it in America, and
- 44:44Speaker 2: then they sat back and did nothing.
- 44:46Speaker 1: All the whole thing played out here.
- 44:48Speaker 3: It wasn't quite like like I know Mark Scott and
- 44:50Speaker 3: I know that the team at Sydney and it wasn't
- 44:52Speaker 3: It wasn't that they didn't want to do anything, or
- 44:56Speaker 3: that they approved or anything like that. It was more
- 44:58Speaker 3: sort of they need firstly, they needed to like with
- 45:01Speaker 3: Melbourne unything right that you basically needed a reason to
- 45:03Speaker 3: move them.
- 45:04Speaker 1: They need definition.
- 45:06Speaker 3: Well, that's right, and we actually asked for one, I know.
- 45:08Speaker 3: And it's hard and again because you've got people say
- 45:10Speaker 3: we all know what rip from the river to the
- 45:12Speaker 3: sea means and how that might intimidate a Jewish person,
- 45:14Speaker 3: but again proving that in the court of law you
- 45:17Speaker 3: wanted to hurt this person is.
- 45:19Speaker 1: In the court of law, they have a code of conduct,
- 45:20Speaker 1: so they have.
- 45:20Speaker 3: A code of kind of that's right, but even arguing
- 45:23Speaker 3: that the bridge god to conduct, which is why Melbourne
- 45:25Speaker 3: Universe has been able to act, because they obstructed other
- 45:28Speaker 3: students from learning, physically obstructed other students from learning and
- 45:31Speaker 3: going about their business, so they didn't get The encampment
- 45:35Speaker 3: made people feel very uncomfortable, but it didn't actually obstructive.
- 45:37Speaker 2: People from going to class because they couldn't go through
- 45:40Speaker 2: there without being harassed.
- 45:41Speaker 3: That's right, well, but not as explicitly as occupying an
- 45:44Speaker 3: actual building, So I gave them firm grounds anyway, with
- 45:46Speaker 3: the encampment, I believe what they've done. I hope this
- 45:48Speaker 3: is not exclusive. I'm letting out of the bag. But
- 45:50Speaker 3: they've now booted them off because they're disrupting planned activities
- 45:56Speaker 3: in where they were. So the Union basically said, we're
- 45:58Speaker 3: planning on doing this thing here, you are now obstructing that.
- 46:01Speaker 3: There you go alcapar and tax evasion off.
- 46:04Speaker 2: By the way, common our little committee and help us
- 46:05Speaker 2: decide who we give grants to and why we do
- 46:07Speaker 2: deals with.
- 46:08Speaker 1: Anyway, we're going to go to a break when we
- 46:10Speaker 1: come back.
- 46:11Speaker 2: Donald Trump trolling Joe Biden ahead of tomorrow's presidential debate.
- 46:14Speaker 1: It's pretty good. We'll show you in a second.
- 46:20Speaker 2: Well, the first US presidential debate is on tomorrow. You
- 46:23Speaker 2: can watch it on Sky News at eleven am. Donald
- 46:26Speaker 2: Trump posted a great video on his social media today
- 46:30Speaker 2: outlining the difference that the two presidents have and the
- 46:34Speaker 2: choice that Americans will have to make.
- 46:36Speaker 1: Have a look at this.
- 46:58Speaker 2: Never before has a simple video Joe speak, such a
- 47:02Speaker 2: massive difference between two men.
- 47:03Speaker 1: That's your choice right there.
- 47:06Speaker 3: I know, but come on, like Joe Bine, he fell
- 47:08Speaker 3: down those stairs like yongs Ago. Can't they get a
- 47:10Speaker 3: more recent pick of him falling down the stairs?
- 47:12Speaker 5: Well, so many they couldn't do the whole mash up,
- 47:14Speaker 5: though there was a time for it. It's an act
- 47:17Speaker 5: to make it as short as possible.
- 47:19Speaker 3: They're an amazing thing. I don't know if you've said
- 47:21Speaker 3: on light, but if you put Donald Trump talking against
- 47:26Speaker 3: the Seinfeld soundtrack, it's just amazing stand up comedy does
- 47:29Speaker 3: amazing thing. I don't like those little you know, there's
- 47:32Speaker 3: got this cardboard straws anymore, and you tried to put
- 47:34Speaker 3: them in having to the plastic straws. There was so much.
- 47:36Speaker 1: Do thing I love.
- 47:39Speaker 3: That's the greatest show.
- 47:40Speaker 1: No words required.
- 47:41Speaker 4: Those two images thic silence, not even a one.
- 47:45Speaker 3: Donald Trump, he can walk.
- 47:47Speaker 5: CNN will be hosting this debate, which most people on
- 47:50Speaker 5: Trump's side is having a bit of a laugh about,
- 47:52Speaker 5: because we know them to be the mainstream media, the
- 47:56Speaker 5: fake news, the perpetrators of a pile of sludge, regarding
- 48:00Speaker 5: him as much as they can manufacture, and yet all
- 48:04Speaker 5: the terms have been set by the Biden administration. He
- 48:09Speaker 5: is an AI video. To be clear, this is a
- 48:11Speaker 5: spoof of Jake Tapper of CNN explaining the rules of
- 48:16Speaker 5: tomorrow's debate.
- 48:18Speaker 10: I'd like to set the ground rules to this debate.
- 48:20Speaker 10: First off, Biden is allowed to speak whenever he wishes.
- 48:24Speaker 10: We will have commercial breaks whenever Biden feels the urge
- 48:27Speaker 10: so that his needs can be taken care of. This
- 48:31Speaker 10: may or may not include naps, energy boosts.
- 48:34Speaker 1: Or a snack such as ice cream.
- 48:36Speaker 10: On the other hand, Trump is not allowed to speak
- 48:39Speaker 10: unless spoken to and if he interrupts, Joe speaking, We're
- 48:42Speaker 10: automatically going to deduct ten points from Trump and Door.
- 48:45Speaker 10: As the hall moderator of this debate, I can call
- 48:47Speaker 10: it off at any moment and declare it a complete
- 48:50Speaker 10: victory for Biden. Where did Trump go?
- 48:53Speaker 3: He was just clear?
- 48:58Speaker 4: The best thing I saw on the internet today.
- 49:01Speaker 5: I mean, everyone knows it's not rigged, but it already is.
- 49:06Speaker 5: I'm convinced we're going to see the Manhattan Project of
- 49:09Speaker 5: pharmaceutical stimulants on full display show.
- 49:14Speaker 1: As I said, you can watch at eleven am tomorrow
- 49:16Speaker 1: on Sky. That's it from us. The ground. Coming up
- 49:18Speaker 1: is the Reader Penney Show.
