Speaker 1: General, Welcome to the lad Base. Good evening and welcome
Speaker 1: to the program.
Speaker 2: I'm Caleb Bond with Liz Stora and Joe Hildebrand. Well,
Speaker 2: would you believe it, Malcolm Turnbull, the Miserable Ghost, has
Speaker 2: come out with some advice on how to deal.
Speaker 1: With Donald Trump. God help us all.
Speaker 2: I think if there's one thing we know, it's if
Speaker 2: Malcolm Malcolm Turnbull tells you to do something, you should
Speaker 2: probably do the opposite. In the papers, we'll talk about
Speaker 2: a gangland figure in Melbourne who's had his deportation overturned
Speaker 2: thanks to Direction.
Speaker 1: Ninety nine not another one. And then later in.
Speaker 2: The program there's a bar in the US that has
Speaker 2: come up with a Pride month for the rest of us.
Speaker 2: But first we've got to talk about the skills shortage
Speaker 2: in this country. Now you might be sitting there thinking
Speaker 2: we've got a problem with tradees, we've got a problem
Speaker 2: with teachers, we've got a problem with police officers. We
Speaker 2: desperately need more of them. Well, I am here to
Speaker 2: tell you that you are wrong. In fact, what we
Speaker 2: need is more yoga instructors and martial artists.
Speaker 1: No, I'm not kidding.
Speaker 2: Jobs and skills Australia has put out today. It's list
Speaker 2: of the jobs that we need to fill, and of
Speaker 2: course that means the margrants we need to bring to
Speaker 2: this country in order to fill them. And of course
Speaker 2: the federal government and many others have been going on
Speaker 2: about the fact that we don't have enough houses. We
Speaker 2: have all these margrants coming in, but we don't have
Speaker 2: the houses for them to live in. We don't have
Speaker 2: rental properties, we don't have new properties, so you'd think, well,
Speaker 2: we could do with some extra tradees. Now this list
Speaker 2: does say that Sparky's, chippies and civil engineers are needed.
Speaker 2: But plumbers, no bricklayers, no cabinet makers, no painters, roof tilers, stonemasons,
Speaker 2: they don't make the cut.
Speaker 1: But the list of people who are recommended.
Speaker 2: To be brought into this country yoga instructors and martial
Speaker 2: artists like a joke, but apparently it is not.
Speaker 1: There are two lists.
Speaker 2: One list says this is what we strongly recommend, what
Speaker 2: we strongly believe is what is needed. That's what the
Speaker 2: yoga instructors and martial artists have made it onto. And
Speaker 2: then there's another list that says, maybe we need to
Speaker 2: do some more consultation. That's the one that all the
Speaker 2: tradees have somehow ended up on it.
Speaker 1: You'd think it was a pretty open cutcase.
Speaker 2: And that's exactly what the head of Research and Build Skills,
Speaker 2: Robert Sabayra said today. He said, just the world really
Speaker 2: need more yoga instructors at this point in time. I'm
Speaker 2: not diminishing the importance of that as an occupation or
Speaker 2: the validity of it, but from the perspective of our
Speaker 2: economic priorities in this country, our social and economic priorities, it.
Speaker 1: Would seem to us that we should really.
Speaker 2: Be prioritizing basically any skilled trade.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: The only reason I can think of that we would
Speaker 2: need more yoga instructors in this country is that it
Speaker 2: might be quite popular in the inner city. And of
Speaker 2: course the inner city is under it hack from the Greens,
Speaker 2: and Labor is desperate to wrestle as many seats back
Speaker 2: from the Greens as possible.
Speaker 1: So, Joe, they've come up with the perfect policy.
Speaker 2: They're going to go to the next federal election saying
Speaker 2: we've solved all your problems. We got you the yoga
Speaker 2: instructors you wanted.
Speaker 3: Wow. Really, just to address this issue, I've actually come
Speaker 3: to the show dressed as an elite. You know what,
Speaker 3: I'm wearing a suit, Joe defendant.
Speaker 2: You that you are in a suit and tie, and
Speaker 2: in all my establishments, in all my years, you were
Speaker 2: that you were the first bloke who gave me a
Speaker 2: paid job.
Speaker 1: By the way, and I don't think it all that
Speaker 1: time I've seen you in.
Speaker 4: A suit, I've got me questioning everything I've ever thought
Speaker 4: to be, Like, my whole world is exploding.
Speaker 3: Anyway, Vogue feelings, They're perfectly natural for this. What have
Speaker 3: I been saying the whole time, every every other night.
Speaker 3: This is why cutting migration doesn't actually create more housing.
Speaker 3: We need to bring in the migrants to build the
Speaker 3: houses and.
Speaker 1: Jobs and skills. Australia seem to think, so.
Speaker 3: Joe bringing the migrants in, bringing migrants who can build
Speaker 3: the houses, not the migrants who can do it down
Speaker 3: the dog.
Speaker 5: Bringing in the one.
Speaker 4: So build skills Australia commissioned by this labor government, by
Speaker 4: the way, that's why build skills exist. Labor government was like,
Speaker 4: we need someone to address the workforce side of this
Speaker 4: housing crisis, so we commissioned build skills. Well, build skilleds
Speaker 4: told the government in March of this year. We need
Speaker 4: ninety thousand extra construction workers in order to reach your
Speaker 4: pie in the sky goals of one point two million
Speaker 4: new houses in five years. To be clear, that means
Speaker 4: from July this year. This government has committed to building
Speaker 4: two twenty thousand new homes every month, sixty thousand every quarter.
Speaker 4: And they think they're going to pull this off while
Speaker 4: not even allowing said construction workers.
Speaker 5: We need onto the yes.
Speaker 4: Please these skilled immigrants, we need you desperately.
Speaker 3: List this I know, and I welcome youth. You cannot
Speaker 3: laugh or explain the way exactly what I've been saying.
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that yoga should come. This is the
Speaker 3: whole point levels If you just simply cut migrace, well
Speaker 3: obviously the list is moronic and it needs a eguy
Speaker 3: that you're actually prioritizing the trades. And again I agree exactly.
Speaker 3: We build skills head of research of rob Sobria that
Speaker 3: the idea that you just cut migration and suddenly more
Speaker 3: houses appear is completely and utterly fantastical. We don't have
Speaker 3: enough people to build the houses the.
Speaker 4: Right immigrants, which obviously they're not. So you can cut
Speaker 4: numbers and just make sure that those that you are
Speaker 4: letting into the country fit the bill to help us
Speaker 4: out where we're in dire need.
Speaker 1: But let's have a.
Speaker 4: Look at how we ended up in this pickle because
Speaker 4: it follows a stooche between the government and the building
Speaker 4: sector in December of last.
Speaker 5: Year, when traders were left.
Speaker 4: Off the streamlined highly skilled professional visa category amid union
Speaker 4: calls to ensure Australian jobs were prioritized these ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 5: Is one of many reasons why you.
Speaker 4: Don't vote for labor because you end up with the
Speaker 4: unions running the country.
Speaker 3: Until tonight, we're on their side.
Speaker 4: They govern while keeping their union mates happy. That's why
Speaker 4: trade's were left off the list.
Speaker 3: This is why I'm saying we need to bring more
Speaker 3: margrats to address the housing.
Speaker 1: A.
Speaker 3: Welcome you, Joe, I, welcome o you Australian citizens from across.
Speaker 1: It's not about the numbers.
Speaker 2: It is about having the right migrants come into the country.
Speaker 2: And the list that we are looking at now is
Speaker 2: saying the people we absolutely need are the Yogis. The
Speaker 2: list should say there has nothing to do with numbers.
Speaker 1: We want.
Speaker 3: Ridiculous that the yogis appear on this list, and you
Speaker 3: know plumbers and tilers don't. But again, the sheer numbers
Speaker 3: of yoga instructors and martial arts instructors are not going
Speaker 3: to be anything like the numbers of for example, electricians, carpenter's,
Speaker 3: civil engineers.
Speaker 5: We can only hope.
Speaker 3: This has been put on the front page of the
Speaker 3: nine newspapers. So this this program is too woke even
Speaker 3: for the former Fair Facts newspapers. That's the government will
Speaker 3: pay attention to it. It will fix it already. Clara
Speaker 3: O'Neil has said as soon as she came to office
Speaker 3: that she was working on streamlining the skilled visa program.
Speaker 3: So we were just getting the right one and clearly someone's
Speaker 3: gone through here and hang on a minute, what's going
Speaker 3: on here? I remember doing a story which found that
Speaker 3: I believe it was it was massuses or some massage
Speaker 3: therapists or messuses were on the targeted migration list to
Speaker 3: bring into Australia. And of course they weren't just working
Speaker 3: in the therapeutic massage.
Speaker 2: I was going to say, they weren't the sort of
Speaker 2: This is one of the.
Speaker 3: Things that Malcolm was procured. Malcolm Turnbull attempted to crack
Speaker 3: down on which also had people jumping up and down,
Speaker 3: and that was when he wasn't hanging up on Donald
Speaker 3: Trump story.
Speaker 1: Well, get to that a bit later in the show.
Speaker 2: But the idea that you can't have a migration program
Speaker 2: that has a lower number while also saying that we
Speaker 2: want certain.
Speaker 1: People, I just don't see what the issue is. You
Speaker 1: can say we want a lot of lower a lot of.
Speaker 3: People talk about lowering the number without making any mention
Speaker 3: of the actual mix of minus we need, as though
Speaker 3: if you just cut the number then suddenly there'd be
Speaker 3: more happy.
Speaker 4: Because dress this in his budget reply speech, he absolutely
Speaker 4: did address that, yes we will cut my migration, but
Speaker 4: we will do so in such a way that ensure
Speaker 4: the nation's needs are met.
Speaker 5: It's not rocket science.
Speaker 4: But let's go to the UK now, where overnight all
Speaker 4: my folks and dreams, my birthdays, my Christmases arrived at.
Speaker 6: Once when Nigel Farage while the mother country is burning
Speaker 6: on every single metric you name it, Britain is in trouble.
Speaker 4: The Conservative Party, the Tories are set for a landslide
Speaker 4: defeat at the upcoming election. And who wants to see
Speaker 4: a Corb and Nista government nobody.
Speaker 1: So who's come back.
Speaker 5: To enter the fray and save the day? This guy,
Speaker 5: this looks like on top of me.
Speaker 1: He's just follow me because we get a little cutters.
Speaker 4: Of the bills about me.
Speaker 1: And why is he doing this?
Speaker 4: Well, if you know anything about the current state of
Speaker 4: the UK, it's bleeding obvious. But here's the man himself
Speaker 4: announcing why So.
Speaker 7: I'm coming back as Leader of Reform UK. But not
Speaker 7: just for this election campaign. I'm coming back for the
Speaker 7: next five years. And there is one very simple reason
Speaker 7: for that. We all know already that the Conservative Party
Speaker 7: will be in opposition, but it won't be the opposition.
Speaker 7: They are incapable of it. They've spent most of the
Speaker 7: last five years fighting each other rather than standing up
Speaker 7: and fighting for the interests of this country.
Speaker 4: I think this man is going to rail it in
Speaker 4: at the polls.
Speaker 5: You know why.
Speaker 4: He is a patriot.
Speaker 8: Check Out this quote he said, I.
Speaker 4: Believe in Britain, these boring idiots that lead the Labor
Speaker 4: and Conservative parties.
Speaker 1: Are not worth the space.
Speaker 4: Let's make Britain and great again, echoing the great words
Speaker 4: of President Donald Trump. Here they are together, shortly after
Speaker 4: Brexit got across the line is celebrating this iconic photo.
Speaker 4: If we can get Trump back in the White House
Speaker 4: and get that man anywhere near Downing Street, there may
Speaker 4: be hope for the Western world. Yet, ladies and gentlemen,
Speaker 4: we've got to make it happen.
Speaker 3: I know I'm looking I'm looking forward to it enormously,
Speaker 3: and he's going to be fun. And I believe, contrary
Speaker 3: to his comments just then, I believe the real reason
Speaker 3: he diveat is because the election campaign was so far
Speaker 3: the dullest, most boring electoral campaign we have ever seen. Yes,
Speaker 3: I love it, I love it, but you know he's
Speaker 3: not going to be Prime minister, right, you know he's
Speaker 3: going to make a Labor party's back for five years.
Speaker 4: Him back in the House will make all the difference and.
Speaker 3: Worth having the right tear each other apart just so
Speaker 3: that you can have a bit of fun in an
Speaker 3: election campaign, even if it means Labor wins government.
Speaker 5: He is the man of the hour.
Speaker 4: Here he was at their own Tory party get together.
Speaker 5: It's explaining to you the why they've already lost.
Speaker 7: Your poll has just come out shows the election's over already,
Speaker 7: it's over, it's done. It's not my fault that the
Speaker 7: Tories have done it to themselves.
Speaker 4: He's seen his opportunity to make a comeback and the
Speaker 4: stage is set. Well.
Speaker 1: The point is it's going to be a labor government.
Speaker 1: Anyone knows.
Speaker 2: Everyone knows it's going to be a labor government. So
Speaker 2: the argument around the Right tearing itself apart is somewhat.
Speaker 1: Moot at this point because it's not.
Speaker 2: As though Nigel Farage could come just sailing into the
Speaker 2: Tories and fix it all up in the five weeks
Speaker 2: before the next election.
Speaker 1: It's not going to happen.
Speaker 2: He sniffed the political wind, which is obviously that the
Speaker 2: Tories are going to get annihilated and there's going to
Speaker 2: be a significant portion of people who want something else
Speaker 2: to vote for and they don't really want to vote
Speaker 2: for labor, and so his Reform Party will be the
Speaker 2: third party that comes in and says, look, if you
Speaker 2: want to send a message to the Tories that they
Speaker 2: should get back to conservative basics and they call themselves
Speaker 2: the Conservative Party, then we are the people to do it.
Speaker 2: He's running in the seat of Clacton, which had previously
Speaker 2: had a member that was from the UKIP Party, which
Speaker 2: was the party that he from previously, so he knows
Speaker 2: that they have proven that they can win in this seat.
Speaker 2: It is the right time for someone like Farage to company.
Speaker 2: You can't barrage the Farage to come back into the
Speaker 2: fold and say, look, we've got to give the Tories
Speaker 2: a scare.
Speaker 3: The question is the maths though, right, So it's like
Speaker 3: one nation saying we're going to knock over Peter Dutton
Speaker 3: because he's not conservative enough, and we're going to resort
Speaker 3: this back to base and will be the new opposition
Speaker 3: because we'll be more than the Liberals are in opposition
Speaker 3: while Labor is in power. And then does one nation
Speaker 3: end up getting fifty one percent of the vote at
Speaker 3: a future election or in the UK's chance, the first case,
Speaker 3: the first past the post. That is the question. You
Speaker 3: Kip is very good at swinging people here and there.
Speaker 3: But the reason, for example, why Brexit got up is
Speaker 3: because a whole bunch of northern labor voters in northern
Speaker 3: England who felt really p quite frankly by you know,
Speaker 3: they've been put out of jobs by you know the.
Speaker 4: Are you saying he won't win the seats because his
Speaker 4: only point?
Speaker 3: No, no, no, I'm saying that the question with him
Speaker 3: winning the seat, the question is whether Reform UK or
Speaker 3: the Conservatives are better positioned to be able to form government.
Speaker 3: So if you actually think the reform you came he has.
Speaker 4: Said we will be in opposition, it will be you
Speaker 4: just heard.
Speaker 3: He's saying he wants to be the main opposition, which
Speaker 3: means that the next time. Unless he wants to be
Speaker 3: in opposition forever, which few political parties do, he has
Speaker 3: to think that reform either a reform is the biggest
Speaker 3: opportunity to retake government from labor at the election. Wants
Speaker 3: to scare them, scare the crap out. He wants to
Speaker 3: destroy the con Servative Party in the place.
Speaker 2: It's not about destroying the Conservative parties. Fixing the Conservative
Speaker 2: Party now.
Speaker 3: We make their votes until they learn they then become
Speaker 3: more like reform UKU. And then he says, thank you robots,
Speaker 3: heeded your lesson, and I'll go point.
Speaker 5: Need to have an effective opposition.
Speaker 4: He knows the Tories don't have it in them to
Speaker 4: give They didn't even have it in the to give
Speaker 4: who So he's.
Speaker 5: Like coming back to get it, going to stay.
Speaker 1: Well, there's two things you can do next.
Speaker 2: One is you either former coalition with the Conservatives if
Speaker 2: they come to the table in terms of what you
Speaker 2: want them to do, or at the point you think
Speaker 2: the Conservatives have reformed themselves, you bow out.
Speaker 1: That's your two options. Now for.
Speaker 3: The last political party you're aware of in a liberal
Speaker 3: deboxcy that voluntarily just bowed out. But even the Democrats
Speaker 3: had the decency to be wiped out by if no.
Speaker 2: One, if no one makes an attempt to try and
Speaker 2: correct the Tories, then the Tories will keep going the
Speaker 2: way they have, which is leading them to annihilation at
Speaker 2: the next election in the UK. They need someone to
Speaker 2: deliver some kind of reset. That's what Faraj wants to do,
Speaker 2: and God willing he will be able to do it.
Speaker 2: And speaking of conservative I think one of the most
Speaker 2: important issues that any conservative party in the world should
Speaker 2: be worried about right now, and particularly in our country,
Speaker 2: is housing affordability, because, of course, if you want people
Speaker 2: to believe in what they have, you want them to
Speaker 2: have something to conserve. They actually have to own something,
Speaker 2: and generally that has been based on a good job,
Speaker 2: a home that you own to come home to, and
Speaker 2: a family living in that home. And we know statistically
Speaker 2: now that the number of people having families is dropping.
Speaker 2: The fertility rate in Australia at the moment is one
Speaker 2: point six. The replacement rate we need to keep the
Speaker 2: population stable is to point one, that is kid per
Speaker 2: person right, So what we have as a situation with
Speaker 2: fewer people having fewer kids because fundamentally they don't own anything.
Speaker 2: A new research from Redbridge, which of course is run
Speaker 2: by Cos Samaras, who used to be a strategist for
Speaker 2: the Labor Party, has shown exactly this. It found that
Speaker 2: more than half of eighteen to thirty four year olds
Speaker 2: have delayed starting a family, primarily because of the cost
Speaker 2: of living.
Speaker 1: And Cos Samaras.
Speaker 2: Said to this that the people who participated in this
Speaker 2: study were asked whether or not a baby bonus would
Speaker 2: be an encouragement for them to have a child, and
Speaker 2: they basically said no, a baby bonus.
Speaker 1: Would do very little.
Speaker 2: And to this Cos Samaras said, it's not just about
Speaker 2: the three thousand or four thousand you might get from government.
Speaker 2: It's the inability to access affordable rental properties. It's the
Speaker 2: inability to access a home that is suitable for raising
Speaker 2: your family. It's the unstable work out there. People don't
Speaker 2: feel like because of the economic conditions, they are in
Speaker 2: a place in their lives where they can go and
Speaker 2: have children. They want a home that they can own,
Speaker 2: they want a stable job, and of course they want
Speaker 2: that home to not cost them half of their life savings.
Speaker 2: Any conservative government worth at salt should be working over
Speaker 2: time on this because without people being able.
Speaker 1: To own a home and have a family and.
Speaker 2: A patch of dirt for them to look after that,
Speaker 2: that's their connection to the community, that's their connection to
Speaker 2: the world. And without that, you set up this situation
Speaker 2: where people go, well, the economic conditions I live in
Speaker 2: don't suit me, so why would I do anything to
Speaker 2: conserve and better the world that I live in. John
Speaker 2: Howard once said, and I'm paraphrasing him here, that economic
Speaker 2: policy should help people and not the other way around.
Speaker 2: The people are not the means to the economic policy.
Speaker 2: The economic policy is the means to the people. That
Speaker 2: is not the situation we're in now, and we're.
Speaker 1: Still to see the consequences.
Speaker 5: But the government has known this for ages.
Speaker 4: Last time our fertility rate was this low one point
Speaker 4: seven it was in two thousand and that was the
Speaker 4: lowest it had ever been in recorded history. In Australia
Speaker 4: the year after two thousand and one they came out
Speaker 4: with the baby bonus because then we had a government who.
Speaker 5: Was like, well, we've got to do something.
Speaker 4: Okay, people have kids, come on, get us out of here.
Speaker 5: Let's let's have babies.
Speaker 3: We can do this for money.
Speaker 5: And it worked.
Speaker 4: But we've seen this decline for decades now, and successive.
Speaker 5: Governments do very little.
Speaker 4: There's no tax breaks, there's no kind of like, here
Speaker 4: is how we are making it affordable for you to
Speaker 4: have kids, or at least more than one point seven kids.
Speaker 5: So right now the baby bonus won't cut it. We
Speaker 5: can't bring that back.
Speaker 1: It worked for its day, for Grand power.
Speaker 4: These governments idea of all let's support families is universal daycare.
Speaker 4: Oh thank you so much that you're going to take
Speaker 4: my three year old for free. I want to stay
Speaker 4: home and raise my own kids, Thanks very much.
Speaker 5: And this government's idea of we're supporting families.
Speaker 4: Is give us your children.
Speaker 6: We all know the hand that rocks the cradle rules
Speaker 6: the world.
Speaker 4: Give us your children and women half of the workforce.
Speaker 4: Get back to your desks and bring us the tax dollar.
Speaker 5: That's all this government cares about.
Speaker 1: So what you just said.
Speaker 5: Literally not really.
Speaker 4: The exact opposite is what we constantly see from this government,
Speaker 4: where people are the means to the end as opposed
Speaker 4: to what are you doing to ensure that people feel
Speaker 4: empowered to? Yeah, but we have millennials, even older people
Speaker 4: being like, hang on.
Speaker 5: A minute, I've got student.
Speaker 4: Debt, I can't afford a roof over my head, I
Speaker 4: cannot afford kids. In many of the polls that are
Speaker 4: run showing why people are saying I can't have kids,
Speaker 4: isn't I mean radical feminist and all that cancerous ideology
Speaker 4: is playing its part, But by and large it's because
Speaker 4: they feel like they can't afford them. It's not because
Speaker 4: they don't want children, they just feel like.
Speaker 5: They can't afford it.
Speaker 4: And this is a malady felt across the West. Check
Speaker 4: out this map of fertility done by a statistica.
Speaker 5: This is something that we.
Speaker 4: Are seeing across the Western world.
Speaker 5: People are already feeling the pinch.
Speaker 4: They're like, well, why can we we can't afford to
Speaker 4: have kids we'd love to And what we're seeing take
Speaker 4: place is, of course the natural outworking of this. If
Speaker 4: certain countries are having that many more kids than us,
Speaker 4: what do you think is going to happen? And our
Speaker 4: countries are already transforming right before our eyes.
Speaker 3: Well, this is the great replacement?
Speaker 1: Is that where we are not a job?
Speaker 2: How else do you increase the population without importing people?
Speaker 2: If people you don't have children, or at least keep.
Speaker 3: The po hands up. If you've got three kids, you've
Speaker 3: done on the panel, you've done, not three kids, hands up,
Speaker 3: just talking, hands up if you're doing well.
Speaker 1: I had thought.
Speaker 2: Actually, remember remember let's remember remember Makaylia Cash talked about
Speaker 2: a curry for the country. They should start a campaign
Speaker 2: shag for the country.
Speaker 3: But one ford and one for the country.
Speaker 1: You're a fair bit older than me.
Speaker 2: I'm twenty four years old. I'm not economically in a
Speaker 2: position apart from the fact that I don't have a
Speaker 2: partner at them, but I'm not economically in a position
Speaker 2: where I would feel right.
Speaker 3: So obviously, exactly as cost said, it's very smart. Housing
Speaker 3: affordability is incredibly important, and we need to bring in
Speaker 3: more people to build more houses. Another reason why we
Speaker 3: are bringing in migrants is because we're not having enough kids.
Speaker 3: This is, as you say, this is a global problem. Basically,
Speaker 3: the richer you are the less likely. Well in the
Speaker 3: more affluent a society you live in, the more likely
Speaker 3: you are to have kids. Also, where you have you know,
Speaker 3: where you have you know, super or pensions or people
Speaker 3: looking after you in retirement. A lot of the reason
Speaker 3: why people have a lot of kids in developing countries
Speaker 3: is because they see it as an insurance policy for
Speaker 3: when they get old, the kids will take care of them.
Speaker 3: Another reason is a lack of birth control, all those
Speaker 3: sorts of things. But again, big I'm a big fan
Speaker 3: of people having kids. Not only are kids beautiful and
Speaker 3: fun and they're awesome to hang out with, but they're
Speaker 3: great economic drivers. They are fantastic because they you know,
Speaker 3: and you don't have to import a fifteen year old
Speaker 3: migrant to work at mcgonials and get the nation going.
Speaker 3: So they're paying their taxes and looking after an aging generation. Again,
Speaker 3: it's like marriage. Marriage is a great economic unit and
Speaker 3: it has been throughout history. So I'm all in favor
Speaker 3: of that traditional stuff. I'm all in favor of people
Speaker 3: getting married and having kids. And I've done my bit,
Speaker 3: thank you very much, Australia. But this is my medal.
Speaker 2: But this is where we've dudded ourselves because we've created
Speaker 2: an economic situation.
Speaker 1: You're quite right, we need people to have kids.
Speaker 2: In order to keep the economy going, but we have
Speaker 2: created an economic situation where people don't feel comfortable to
Speaker 2: have the kids to keep the economy going. I mean,
Speaker 2: I you know, as I said before, I'm a young fellow.
Speaker 2: But my parents when I was born and my younger
Speaker 2: brother and my father went to work full time, and
Speaker 2: mum worked part time on Thursday nights and on Saturdays.
Speaker 2: She was until we were old enough to sort offend
Speaker 2: for ourselves. She spent most of her time at home.
Speaker 2: That was the decision my parents made about how they
Speaker 2: wanted to parent, and they could afford to do it,
Speaker 2: and my father did mega shed load of money and
Speaker 2: or died my mother, but they were able to do it,
Speaker 2: whereas now you would be seriously pushing uphill to be
Speaker 2: able to have unless you're on very good money. One
Speaker 2: parent at home and one parent at work.
Speaker 1: Both parents have.
Speaker 2: To go to work, and it's another thing that discourages
Speaker 2: people from having kids. So we've created an economy that's
Speaker 2: great for the government. It means they pull in tex
Speaker 2: and whatever, but they've jypped themselves because they've stopped the
Speaker 2: next generation that keeps the Yeah, the.
Speaker 3: Higher wages, I'm all in favor of that as well.
Speaker 3: And yes, it is a difficult problem. We were lucky enough,
Speaker 3: like we're you know, we're not coup to but struggle.
Speaker 3: But we're going backwards in the current economic climate. And
Speaker 3: you know, I worry about the mortgage like everyone else,
Speaker 3: and I'm in one of the really privileged, fortunate positions,
Speaker 3: but it comes for us all. People aren't going to
Speaker 3: feel more confident until interest rates start coming back down. Yes,
Speaker 3: we do need higher wages. I could not agree more
Speaker 3: in a lower cost of it, there's and a lower
Speaker 3: cost of living and greater housing affordability. One of the
Speaker 3: problems is that houses a couple of decades ago were
Speaker 3: about three times I think in the eighties, Yeah, exactly
Speaker 3: three times the annual average wage. They're now something like
Speaker 3: ten times, probably more now. That was a few years old.
Speaker 3: So you've got to you know, yes, you have to
Speaker 3: bring housing prices down. You have to make the cost
Speaker 3: of living more affordable. That applies to absolutely everything that
Speaker 3: applies to living as much as it does to having kids.
Speaker 3: And of course people aren't going to do the most
Speaker 3: important thing in their life and the biggest sort of
Speaker 3: investment in their life, their whole heart and soul, which
Speaker 3: is to have kids unless they feel pretty secure. The
Speaker 3: other thing you can do, of course, at the other
Speaker 3: end is make people feel more secure in other countries,
Speaker 3: and that would make them less likely to have more
Speaker 3: kids and create the problems there. But that's another story altogether.
Speaker 3: There you go, all the world's problem solved.
Speaker 4: Let's talk about the miserable ghost because he has re emerged.
Speaker 4: His name is Malcolm Turnbill, and he is scared. He
Speaker 4: is so scared that Donald Trump will successfully make a comeback.
Speaker 5: How we know that, Well.
Speaker 4: He's written a piece today saying, should this happen, leaders
Speaker 4: of the world, I encourage you to follow in my
Speaker 4: hallowed footsteps and make sure that you take this man
Speaker 4: to task. Good.
Speaker 5: But you stand up.
Speaker 4: To him because there was this one time that I
Speaker 4: stood up to him, and I want everyone to know
Speaker 4: about it because it was the highlight of my career.
Speaker 4: Here he is telling us all about it in the
Speaker 4: doco called Nemesis.
Speaker 9: President's not going to honor the refugee deal. Prime Minister
Speaker 9: shouldn't refer to it, so I you know, raised that
Speaker 9: matter with the President and he was very angry and
Speaker 9: we had quite a row about it. It turned out
Speaker 9: to be a good call, essentially that the summary was
Speaker 9: it started off no way, Jose and ended up yes,
Speaker 9: but I hate you.
Speaker 4: I'm big tour from a ship sweet who's best remembered
Speaker 4: for a legacy of snowy hydro too. And then there's
Speaker 4: Trump who just you know, unprecedented peace. There was no
Speaker 4: Russia Ukraine war, there was peace in the Middle East.
Speaker 4: America hadn't had it so good economically since the sixties
Speaker 4: until Trump rocked up rather a better legacy.
Speaker 5: I think I just love it when.
Speaker 4: These tiny, tiny men take it upon themselves to channel
Speaker 4: their sheer lack of significance in the form of hatred
Speaker 4: to a man ten million times their consequence and what
Speaker 4: he calls if.
Speaker 8: We can get that quote back up, a powerful narcissistic
Speaker 8: self belief has given him Trump the strength to defy
Speaker 8: not just his many enemies, but even reality itself.
Speaker 4: A powerful narcissistic self belief, Well, it takes one to
Speaker 4: know one, Malcolm Turnbull, and what I loved and I
Speaker 4: think we all loved, even if you hated Trump, was
Speaker 4: when he was in office, his big dog energy. Literally
Speaker 4: it transferred to world leaders. Does anyone here actually think
Speaker 4: that Morrison, had Trump not been leader of the free
Speaker 4: world at the time, did it of his own accord
Speaker 4: pick up.
Speaker 5: The phone to China and be like.
Speaker 4: We want an explanation regarding the COVID origins.
Speaker 5: I don't think so.
Speaker 1: I actually know how that happened in the halls of power.
Speaker 5: It really did.
Speaker 4: Other leaders started to take on more of a big
Speaker 4: dog energy and who once limp wristed loser leaders, they're
Speaker 4: not leaders at all.
Speaker 2: But I just I can't get over Turnbull portraying himself
Speaker 2: as like the master manipulator I beat Donald.
Speaker 1: Trump, give me arrest.
Speaker 2: I mean, he refers to Trump as a volatile, narcissistic
Speaker 2: gas lighter. He says that there's never been such an
Speaker 2: effective and relentless gas lighter. If you look at Malcolm
Speaker 2: Turnbull's president presidency, geez.
Speaker 1: I don't want to upgrade him to that.
Speaker 2: The reason that came to my head is, of course,
Speaker 2: that he used to run the Australian Republican movement, primarily
Speaker 2: because I think he wanted to be president.
Speaker 1: Himself one day.
Speaker 2: But his Prime ministership which was based on the fact
Speaker 2: that Tony Abbott had lost thirty news polls in a row,
Speaker 2: and then he went on to do exactly the same thing.
Speaker 2: It wasn't the most glorious prime ministership that Australia had
Speaker 2: ever seen. But now he swan's around as though he
Speaker 2: was the answer to all the world's problems. So he
Speaker 2: goes and pins this piece in Foreign Affairs magazine and
Speaker 2: she's the world.
Speaker 1: I have news for you. I will tell you how
Speaker 1: to deal with Donald Trump.
Speaker 3: You don't tell your advice. And I admit that that
Speaker 3: Malcolm Turmber did not have many wins during his prime ministership,
Speaker 3: and I think this was one of them. I mean,
Speaker 3: I don't know if you prefer the alternative that America
Speaker 3: didn't take the refugees that we were trying to or
Speaker 3: this arm steaings. I should say that we were trying
Speaker 3: to get rid of in this convoluted swapping system where
Speaker 3: everyone actually ended up in a country, but it looked
Speaker 3: like no one was getting into that particular country.
Speaker 1: There was only about not downing the win.
Speaker 5: We're more down in him crowing about it.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 4: Later.
Speaker 3: I've still got as a former editor once told me self,
Speaker 3: praise is no recommendation. And again I think even just
Speaker 3: the fact that one thing that's a little bit illuminating
Speaker 3: is the fact that he's writing this in an essay
Speaker 3: in the journal Foreign Affairs, which is obviously the bible
Speaker 3: of the kind of elite global diplomatic class. And I say,
Speaker 3: this is someone who has friends and family who work there.
Speaker 3: But that is part of the reason why Donald Trump
Speaker 3: came to power. And so again this kind of sneering
Speaker 3: down from Ivory Towers about this boorish narcissistic I mean,
Speaker 3: you know anyone in politics who isn't a narcissist, if
Speaker 3: anyone can find one, please, especially Matham. And again, they
Speaker 3: just don't seem to get that. Sneering at him, looking
Speaker 3: down on him, and especially persecuting him and pursuing him
Speaker 3: through the justicism. It just makes him stronger because people think, well,
Speaker 3: you're all a bunch of wankers. At least this guy
Speaker 3: I can understand. At least this guy talks in terms
Speaker 3: I can understand. And at least this guy says, you know,
Speaker 3: I'm going to give you your jobs back now, whether he's
Speaker 3: got a plan to do that or not. As another matter.
Speaker 3: But you know, again, he's speaking directly to people in
Speaker 3: a language that they can understand. And all the people
Speaker 3: that are speaking against Donald Trump are actually are actually
Speaker 3: speaking in a more elitist frame which he doesn't fit into,
Speaker 3: and that's why they almost want to spit him out.
Speaker 3: Is like a foreign infection in a body that the
Speaker 3: body's trying to reject and until they realize until again,
Speaker 3: there used to be a consensus between the center right
Speaker 3: and the Senate left on big things like foreign policies, say,
Speaker 3: and somehow we just forgot or stopped communicating that to people,
Speaker 3: and people suddenly started to think, this is the sort
Speaker 3: of world I don't understand. There are all these people
Speaker 3: up there doing things, speaking in bureaucraate ease, and I'm
Speaker 3: losing my job or I'm scared that I can't get
Speaker 3: a house or whatever it might be, and I cannot
Speaker 3: understand a word or these suits say. And I appreciate
Speaker 3: the irony that I'm saying this in wearing a suit.
Speaker 1: For the first time in the very long time.
Speaker 2: Look, you know, I never thought i'd say this, but
Speaker 2: I really wish Malcolm turnbull post prime ministership had been
Speaker 2: more like Julia Gillard again words that I never but
Speaker 2: she is dead set the best X Prime minister we've
Speaker 2: had in a long time, because for the most part
Speaker 2: she's just kept her mouth shut and got on with
Speaker 2: her life. If only Turnbull and Rudd had done the same. Now,
Speaker 2: there was a small win for The Herald Sun today.
Speaker 2: They had been pursued by an activist by the name
Speaker 2: of Claire Southey. She's from Rainbow Rights Watch and she'd
Speaker 2: gone after the Herald Son for an article a couple
Speaker 2: of years ago that they wrote about prisoners in a
Speaker 2: women's prison. Of course, female prisoners complaining that a transgender
Speaker 2: prisoner had been banged up with them, and this was
Speaker 2: someone who'd been convicted of violent offenses, including sex offenses
Speaker 2: overseas well. This activist somehow believed that these female prisoners
Speaker 2: raising an issue with the biological man who had committed
Speaker 2: sex offenses being put in a female prison was somehow transphobic.
Speaker 2: Thankfully that decision was thrown out this week, but I
Speaker 2: was really heartened to read the words of Mel Jeffries
Speaker 2: in the article about this in The Herald Sun today. Now,
Speaker 2: Mel Jeffries is a biological woman who at one point
Speaker 2: decided she wanted to be a man. She had her
Speaker 2: breasts taken off in twenty seventeen, but by twenty twenty
Speaker 2: one she decided that she wanted to be a woman again,
Speaker 2: that she did not want to be a man. She
Speaker 2: has done what is called detransitioning, and we're hearing more
Speaker 2: about this now. People who decided at one point that
Speaker 2: they were transgender and were given irrevocable medical procedures to
Speaker 2: try to change their gender, later regretting it and going
Speaker 2: back to their biological sex. And she sold the Herald
Speaker 2: Son today. Sorry, when I see efforts to disenfranchise women
Speaker 2: who have suffered deeply at the hands of abusive men,
Speaker 2: who speak up and try to raise alarm about injustice,
Speaker 2: it hardens my resolve to oppose these ideas and the
Speaker 2: people who push them. All I can say is here
Speaker 2: here and more strength to her arm. And how ridiculous
Speaker 2: this clear Southy woman. It's not the first time she's
Speaker 2: done it is routinely going after meeting outlets for reporting
Speaker 2: factually on matters about transgender issues. She then tries to
Speaker 2: tie them up with you know, the press council and
Speaker 2: in the courts and all sorts of staff. Meanwhile, you've
Speaker 2: got people who've actually been through the whole process, like
Speaker 2: Mel Jeffrey, saying no, you're a menace.
Speaker 1: This needs to be talked about.
Speaker 4: It's it beggars belief that it even needs to be
Speaker 4: talked about when you're weighing up the safety of women
Speaker 4: compared to the rights of trans women.
Speaker 5: Am I getting this right?
Speaker 4: How is this even a conversation that women have to
Speaker 4: in the twenty first century fight for their own bathroom spaces,
Speaker 4: their own prisons. I mean, this guy had sex offenders, like,
Speaker 4: that's what he was in jail for, and yet he
Speaker 4: was put in there with vulnerable women. How is this
Speaker 4: even something that Mel Jeffries has to go to the
Speaker 4: mattresses on.
Speaker 5: It's just it shouldn't even have to happen. Thank god she's.
Speaker 4: Taking up the cause because her voice, obviously having spent
Speaker 4: ten years living as a mayor, is more powerful than most.
Speaker 4: She's like, Hey, you don't come at me calling me
Speaker 4: her begot I've lived both lives and I'm telling you
Speaker 4: right now, I'm sick to death of this rubbish.
Speaker 3: Mel Jeffers is certainly in an unusually well informed position
Speaker 3: to know, but the problem is and we see this
Speaker 3: with the gay community more generally as well, that you've
Speaker 3: got a very sensible, sort of normal part of the
Speaker 3: community who just want to get on with their lives.
Speaker 3: And they make some really good points about you know,
Speaker 3: areas where they're still discriminated against and things like you know,
Speaker 3: conversion therapy and that sort of stuff which my wife
Speaker 3: does work on for Quality Australia. And they're all pretty sensible,
Speaker 3: they're all they make really reasonable points. But then you
Speaker 3: have these super extreme, crazy queer Marxists who hijacked the debate.
Speaker 3: They're the sort of people who've got the cops banned
Speaker 3: from the Marti Gras parade. They come after this tip
Speaker 3: just for future campaigns, maybe don't make the child sex
Speaker 3: offender your poster girl. That's probably just a tip from
Speaker 3: an old hand.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't that be a great idea.
Speaker 2: After the break, we'll get into the papers, including a
Speaker 2: Melbourne gangland figure Will Feed, who is now allowed to
Speaker 2: stay in the country so people can fear him more thanks.
Speaker 1: To Direction ninety nine. All that more coming up.
Speaker 2: Let's get into the papers, starting with the Australian. Joe
Speaker 2: tell us about your mate Anthony el I.
Speaker 3: Certainly will Caleb with pleasure, thank you very much. Yes,
Speaker 3: front page of the Eyes today, and it's something I've
Speaker 3: been banging on about four weeks and weeks and weeks.
Speaker 3: They're in the top right hand corner. PM locked out
Speaker 3: by war protests Anthony Albanezi has been locked out of
Speaker 3: his Sydney electorate office this year because of pro Palestinian protests.
Speaker 3: Mid official security warnings that Islamist extremists are attending anti
Speaker 3: Israel demonstrations on university campuses and outside parliamentarian's offices, and
Speaker 3: this I'm hoping is finally going to be the kind
Speaker 3: of turning point. But I've been telling people I can
Speaker 3: promise you personally, privately, public or whatever. The PM hates
Speaker 3: these guys. He's sick of these stripes. They've been keeping
Speaker 3: him out of his office. They've been making his life
Speaker 3: a misery.
Speaker 4: And he hates them because they're stupid enough not to
Speaker 4: realize he's on their side the quiet.
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure they're too stupid to realize a lot
Speaker 3: of things, but they absolutely making his life a misery
Speaker 3: and certainly he is, if anything more inclined to be
Speaker 3: more pro Israel as a result of their crazy one
Speaker 3: eight actions, I think seeing because of the attacks on
Speaker 3: other Electric offices. They've been vandalized, hit with graffiti. I
Speaker 3: think Chris Bowens was one from memory. So it's been
Speaker 3: absolutely appalling what has been done. And these protesters are
Speaker 3: really showing their colors, which they are violent extremists, thugs.
Speaker 2: So for all this time, so since January that the
Speaker 2: office has been shot, presumably they're still paying the rent
Speaker 2: on the office right because they can't get rid of
Speaker 2: the office. These people are sitting out the front, not
Speaker 2: only just being dickheads and making a nuisance of themselves.
Speaker 2: And I live in the Inner West, so I've seen
Speaker 2: them on the occasion that I've driven past the office.
Speaker 2: But they are keeping the Prime Minister out of his office,
Speaker 2: a place of employment, which is not which is not
Speaker 2: just any form of protest.
Speaker 1: It's like the people who glue themselves to the road.
Speaker 2: They are impeding everyone else's ability to go about their
Speaker 2: life freely. So at what point do we get out
Speaker 2: the water cannons and the rubber bullets and get these
Speaker 2: people the hell off his doorstep.
Speaker 4: It's o point because if you're alb and easy, that's
Speaker 4: not how you treat your friends. The sun Now visa
Speaker 4: bungle outrage.
Speaker 5: Gosh, it feels like Groundhog Day.
Speaker 4: Gangland figure joled for serious crimes cleared to stay in
Speaker 4: Australia under Labour's shambolic directive. Mock Bell's mates free pass
Speaker 4: a feared Melbourne gangland figure with strong ties to drug kingpin,
Speaker 4: turning Mockbell as that is visa cancelation overturned under controversial
Speaker 4: legal guidance.
Speaker 5: Lay is scrambling to fix.
Speaker 4: Scramble harder, Labor scramble harder.
Speaker 5: So it was last week.
Speaker 4: That Gels got up and said, oh, no, okay, So
Speaker 4: we're going to have the new members.
Speaker 1: Of a review thing and what they're going.
Speaker 5: To do is use common sense.
Speaker 4: I know, I said the whole thing about connections to Australia,
Speaker 4: which by the.
Speaker 5: Way, is why this thug gets to stay. Its good
Speaker 5: connections to Australia get out.
Speaker 4: And yet how long is this going to take? Is
Speaker 4: this another six month review? Is it a three month review?
Speaker 4: Why can't you do something like this in.
Speaker 5: A week, Joe, We all know Direction ninety.
Speaker 4: Nine is an abject failure. Why can't you just repeal it?
Speaker 3: They're punch drunk. I don't know what they're doing. They
Speaker 3: don't know what the next thing is coming from. I've
Speaker 3: I've seen ministers and departments in these ups of scanner
Speaker 3: before they are gone. They've gone for all money they're
Speaker 3: really will say, I think you're getting the wrong into
Speaker 3: the stick on this, Liz, because this guy is actually
Speaker 3: an incredibly caring person. In paragraph, it says Kevin Farrugia
Speaker 3: fifty one cradled a severely injured mock bell in his
Speaker 3: arms after he was stabbed in a prison ambush. Wow,
Speaker 3: you don't get that.
Speaker 1: He's a lovely Who among us have.
Speaker 3: Had a friend like that who would cradle us in
Speaker 3: their arms after we were stabbed in a prison ambush?
Speaker 2: And for that alone, he deserves to stay in the country.
Speaker 2: Send the bastard back to mold.
Speaker 3: We have another look at the Herald Sun front page
Speaker 3: if we can pull it up here, because this is
Speaker 3: another story. I don't know if it's related. Since when
Speaker 3: did Vin Diesel get a pass to come to the country.
Speaker 1: Look, you know, I reckon this. This fella.
Speaker 2: Andrew Giles should just get on the phone and send
Speaker 2: one of those non existent drones down.
Speaker 1: To that seems like job.
Speaker 2: That's the easy solution. Isn't on to the advertiser tomorrow.
Speaker 2: And and I note also on the front of the
Speaker 2: TiSER and the splashes I killed Charlie, which is of
Speaker 2: course that horrific story from last year at Schoolies where
Speaker 2: the police Commissioner, Grant Stephens's son was killed and the
Speaker 2: guy who killed him has admitted in court today that
Speaker 2: he did so guilty. Your honor and to Grant and
Speaker 2: the rest of the Stephens family is always my thoughts
Speaker 2: are with you. But we'll go to the other story
Speaker 2: on the front of the TiSER. Stamp duty acts to
Speaker 2: help first buyers. Stamp duty will be abolished for all
Speaker 2: first home buyers who build or buy new homes and
Speaker 2: first home owner Grant, What did I say that eligibility
Speaker 2: will be expanded here here common sense policy? Why is
Speaker 2: this not just across the board everywhere? Because it is
Speaker 2: the biggest impediment to get apart from the fact that
Speaker 2: houses are so expensive to begin with, it's the biggest
Speaker 2: impediment to getting into the housing market as a first
Speaker 2: home bar because you've saved up your hundreds of thousands
Speaker 2: of dollars that you need for your deposit. That's the deposit,
Speaker 2: and then you need all this other money which you
Speaker 2: can't borrow to pay for the stamp duty.
Speaker 1: You think you have a deposit and then you look
Speaker 1: at the other.
Speaker 4: List of fees and whatever.
Speaker 3: I mean.
Speaker 5: I don't think stamp duty should exist.
Speaker 4: It's like the government being like, oh, you bought something, well,
Speaker 4: we're just going to tax you for absolutely no reason,
Speaker 4: Like it does not make any sense to me whatsoever, any.
Speaker 5: More than payroll tax. It's like, oh, thanks for employing people.
Speaker 5: Wham oh we'd be stuffed without you.
Speaker 4: But hey, we're going to make life as hard as
Speaker 4: possible because we're the government.
Speaker 5: That's what we do.
Speaker 4: We make life hard and we collect tax and that's
Speaker 4: all we care about. So great move by malinowskis.
Speaker 3: I hope the premiers labor government. There's just another great
Speaker 3: labor policy, so many of them. It's hard to keep up,
Speaker 3: isn't it. Man find with the mercury. And this is
Speaker 3: an absolute cracker of a story reborn in the USA.
Speaker 3: Eight Tasmanian devils are heading to America as ambassadors. Better
Speaker 3: than a Tasmanian devil ambassador program. And and yes, the
Speaker 3: Americans have been warned that the Tasmanian Devils are hairy,
Speaker 3: bad tempered and have a nasty bite. They said, it's okay,
Speaker 3: We're used to that.
Speaker 2: It looks I'm sure they're excited for the as I
Speaker 2: said before. You know, they make better ambassadors than Kevin Rad.
Speaker 2: But you know, it's not exactly like when Adelaide Zoo
Speaker 2: got hold of the Pandas from China? Is it? You know?
Speaker 2: I know Tazzy Devils, they might be something special, but
Speaker 2: it's like they're.
Speaker 1: Nothing that great? Are they? Is this people in a
Speaker 1: people in the US?
Speaker 3: Chinese bands more than homegrown good.
Speaker 10: Old Gosh's a communist, huge and fair and they could
Speaker 10: rip your face off.
Speaker 1: Nothing and furry and can rip your face off.
Speaker 2: I don't look their furry and they can rip your
Speaker 2: face off. I don't think that Tazzy Devils are all
Speaker 2: that cute old rubbish. If they could bring back if
Speaker 2: they could bring back the Tazzy Tiger, bring back the
Speaker 2: Thila scene and send one of those to the US,
Speaker 2: then I think we're seriously onto something.
Speaker 1: But you know, as for some Tazzy Devils.
Speaker 3: You can't just say that pandas are better than devils.
Speaker 3: It's not a black and white issue.
Speaker 2: Oh very funny they called the Tazzy Devils. That the
Speaker 2: new AFL team are getting down in Tasmania are called
Speaker 2: the Tazzy Devils.
Speaker 1: Just send those ones over to the US. They wouldn't
Speaker 1: know the difference.
Speaker 2: And maybe they'll learn about the great game of Bossie
Speaker 2: rules while they're there.
Speaker 1: Anyway, that's it for the papers. After the break.
Speaker 2: A bar in the US has come up with a
Speaker 2: new version of Pride Month, but not gay Pride Month.
Speaker 1: We'll tell you about that soon.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: Seinfeld once talked about a Festivus for the rest of us,
Speaker 2: and the bars come up with a similar notion for Pride.
Speaker 4: Yes they have, and Ida bo Bar has gone viral
Speaker 4: after announcing that instead of being Pride Month, they were
Speaker 4: celebrating Junea's Heterosexual Awesomeness Month.
Speaker 1: This is the viral post.
Speaker 3: They're right.
Speaker 4: June will be OSS's inaugural Heterosexual Awesomeness Month. Come join
Speaker 4: us all month to celebrate heterosexuals, for without them, none
Speaker 4: of us would be here. Each Monday will be Hetero
Speaker 4: Male Monday, and any heterosexual mail dressed like a heterosexual
Speaker 4: mail will receive a free draft beer. Each Wednesday is
Speaker 4: Heterosexual Couple's Day, and each heterosexual couple will receive fifteen
Speaker 4: percent off their bill.
Speaker 5: More events to be announced in the coming weeks. Follow
Speaker 5: us on Instagram.
Speaker 4: Or Facebook to stay in four.
Speaker 5: On a minute, Absolute legends. Yes, everyone's full of home.
Speaker 3: Couple of heteros to than what it holds like a heterosexual?
Speaker 3: Is this dressed like a heterosexual?
Speaker 1: Most definitely sure.
Speaker 3: As I've always said, real men were pink fantastic. I'm
Speaker 3: happy to I'm happy to go with that. What happens
Speaker 3: then if a gay guy addresses is a heterosexual just
Speaker 3: marches up to the bar and here you gets.
Speaker 4: There going to be Are they going to be able to?
Speaker 1: That's appropriate?
Speaker 5: Takes me as the kind of bar that.
Speaker 3: Will be a strikers, the kind of bar that does
Speaker 3: not have gata.
Speaker 2: That that is appro creation, Joe, that is appropriate, all right.
Speaker 2: I thought they already had bars for heterosexual men. They're
Speaker 2: called titty bars. Anyway, Just on this notion.
Speaker 5: On this.
Speaker 1: It is true, and speak you know very well where
Speaker 1: they are, Joe. While we're on this theme, the Babylon Bee.
Speaker 2: Which is one of the great satirical cloud fits out
Speaker 2: of the US, has come up with a new version
Speaker 2: of Guess who.
Speaker 1: Kids Who wants to play Guess Who.
Speaker 5: I don't like that game. It's not inclusive.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it only has two genders.
Speaker 5: Not anymore?
Speaker 1: Yeah, introducing all new Guess Who now with all four
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty seven genders?
Speaker 5: Is your a person by gender?
Speaker 7: Mom?
Speaker 6: You cannot determine someone's gender based on their appearance.
Speaker 1: That's disrespectful and offensive. Is your person a Demi Boyne?
Speaker 3: Identifying someone solely based on their gender is reductive and offensive?
Speaker 2: Goodness, gracious? May have you had any of those discussions
Speaker 2: with your kids, Joe? Is that what it's like at home?
Speaker 2: You get a link.
Speaker 3: I don't know what they are. I don't know who
Speaker 3: anybody is anymore. I don't even know if they're wearing
Speaker 3: pants right now. I don't even know who's got them.
Speaker 2: Well, it's more about what he has arisen in the pants,
Speaker 2: I suppose.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I don't want to know what.
Speaker 1: I don't know that you.
