WEBVTT - Sharri | 16 October 0:00:01.560 --> 0:00:03.360 Live on Sky News. 0:00:03.840 --> 0:00:05.080 This is Sharry. 0:00:07.320 --> 0:00:10.520 Thanks Andrew, good evening, Welcome to the show. First tonight, 0:00:10.720 --> 0:00:16.680 to an exclusive report, Prime Minister Anthony Alberzi personally announced 0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:20.880 that his government was spending one hundred million dollars to 0:00:21.040 --> 0:00:25.040 upgrade the road that you guessed it leads right to 0:00:25.160 --> 0:00:28.720 his new four million dollar house. I can reveal that 0:00:28.800 --> 0:00:33.240 in June this year alban Easy personally spoke about a 0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:37.320 Voker Drive undergoing a major upgrade. Have a look. 0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:41.120 The minister might want to respond there, but a Voker 0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:43.559 Drive one of the times I was here. I know 0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:46.479 that the surveying work has all been done, and I 0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:49.199 know that this is a real choke point. So it's 0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:53.320 very important and that's why we've provided funding to make 0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:54.840 sure that it happened. 0:00:54.840 --> 0:00:58.640 The planning work is still being finalized for a Voca Drive, 0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:02.080 but it's set to start middle next year. We're working 0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:04.720 with the new South Wales government, who obviously the delivery 0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:09.000 partners for the project, to deliver that. We provided additional 0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:11.880 money in the last budget. One hundred and thirty million 0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:14.319 dollars has now been allocated for this project. 0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:19.480 As you just heard the Infrastructure Minister Catherine King saying 0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:22.959 one hundred and thirty million dollars was being spent on 0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:25.840 the road and that work would start the middle of 0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:28.640 next year. Now one hundred million dollars of that is 0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:32.840 federal funding and thirty million from the state government. Mister 0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:37.360 Albanezi initially committed thirty million during the federal election campaign 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:42.320 and then another seventy million in January last year. Now, 0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:45.200 this is a road that alban Easy will need to 0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:48.640 drive on to get to his new waterfront mansion. And 0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:52.120 you can see that on this map. A Voker Drive 0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:56.840 turns into Empire Bay Drive, that into Cullins Road, you 0:01:56.920 --> 0:02:00.320 make a right turn at Cape three Points Road and 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:03.720 then you reach his new digs on del Monte Place. 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:09.280 The proximity to the property is pretty clear. Now, Albanizi 0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:12.400 probably knew that he wanted to buy a place in 0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:16.280 the area. He said yesterday that he chose Copa Cabana 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:19.120 because his future wife is a coasty. 0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:23.480 Jodie's a coasty, She's a proud coasty. 0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:27.200 So did Albanezy know he was going to buy in 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:30.760 the area before he announced the one hundred millions of 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:34.320 dollars in taxpayer funds? And is this something that he 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:37.280 should have disclosed if it was already on the hunt 0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:40.919 for properties when he spoke about that funding in June 0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:44.440 this year. Well, these are questions for the Prime Minister 0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:48.160 to answer. It is a matter of public record that 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:52.280 he's committed one hundred million dollars to a road that 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:55.360 he'll need to drive on to reach his new cliff 0:02:55.400 --> 0:03:00.520 top mansion. A spokeswoman said the funding was complet completely 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:04.320 unrelated to the house purchase. She said that the Albanese 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:09.040 government has delivered record road infrastructure funding to ensure Australians 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:13.320 everywhere have better roads to drive on. Well, in the 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:16.200 past two days, we've seen that labor and peas are 0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:21.320 shocked at Albanese's poor political judgment. His decision to splurge 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:25.880 over four million dollars on a waterfront mansion that won't 0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:29.240 even be his main residence is being called one of 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:34.680 the dumbest political decisions he's made. The Australian's Political editor, 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:38.640 Dennis Shanahan says that it's up there with Scott Morrison's 0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:44.000 Hawaii holiday and Tony Abbott's decision tonight Prince Philip. He 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:48.000 writes that no matter what Albanese says to justify the purchase, 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:51.880 it's a bad political look that makes him appear out 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:55.400 of touch with people renting and trying to buy their 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:59.160 own home. He says. It also raises the immediate thought 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:02.520 that it's a time at parachute for after the election. 0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:05.600 We spoke about that here on the show last night. 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:09.560 Labor and Peas were left to have to try defend 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:15.400 the prime ministers out of touch property splurge today. 0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:17.680 I don't go and talk to the Prime Minister about, 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:20.280 you know what, my finances. He doesn't come and talk 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:22.320 to me about his, nor should he. If he had, 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:24.080 I would have said, mate, you do what you think 0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:28.279 is necessary for your family with respect. He's a prime minister. 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:29.679 He's also an Australian citizen. 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:33.360 He wouldn't be a the verse politician or indeed person 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:35.880 in Australia to buy and sell property. 0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:36.360 Yron. 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:38.200 Yes, he grew up poor in council housing. 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:39.640 As he said, he's been on a good wicket. 0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:42.800 He's devoted his life to public service. He's been frugal, 0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:44.840 and he's in a new relationship and has bought a 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:45.880 house with his fiance. 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:50.680 It's a topic they just don't want to be speaking about, 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:53.880 and Coalition figures today called it out of touch? 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:56.440 Is the Prime Minister out of touch? 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:58.440 I've been saying he's out of touch for a long time. 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:02.360 Just think that the timing and the tone of this one, 0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:04.240 it has been a little bit tone deaf. 0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:06.560 The homeowner is in Australia that I'm worried about it 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:08.560 at the moment of people who can't afford their mortgages. 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:12.880 But the Opposition doesn't need to attack this. It's obvious 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:16.640 to anyone that it's tone deaf, insensitive and out of touch. 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:20.080 It's a slap in the face to ordinary Australians who 0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:23.719 can't afford to buy a home or meet their mortgage repayments. 0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:27.320 How can the Prime Minister stand up there and tell 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:31.680 Australians that he understands what they're going through when he's 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:36.000 buying a cliff top mansion. Now I've confirmed that he 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:39.080 did take time out from running the country to go 0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:42.880 and do an inspection of this home before he bought it, 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:47.440 so he was off house hunting while Australians were struggling 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:52.320 to pay their bills, meet their mortgage repayments after thirteen 0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:56.839 interest rate rises. But there's also shows that he just 0:05:57.000 --> 0:06:00.160 doesn't care enough about winning the next election, and he 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:03.760 doesn't care enough about his MPs in marginal seats where 0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:10.480 housing affordability is unquestionably the top political issue. One can 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:14.480 only assume that he's become swept up in the entitlement. 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:19.279 He travels in a private plane that he jokingly refers 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:23.400 to as Toto one, after his dog. He's got a chauffeur, 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:27.800 a cook, free travel, and hotels. He's become so used 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:31.360 to the life of luxury that perhaps he can't understand 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:35.000 why his own MPs are stunned that he's bought a 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:40.200 waterfront home during an economic crisis just months out from 0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:47.520 polling day. Now, Michael Kroger and Graham Richardson are going 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:49.479 to be on the show in just a moment to 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:53.040 talk some more about that. But let's get the latest now. 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:56.240 On the Middle East, the United States has sent a 0:06:56.320 --> 0:07:01.120 threatening ultimatum to Israel demanding it increase humanitarian aid to 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:06.240 Gaza within the next thirty days of face weapons cuts. 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:10.320 The letter, written by US Secretary of State Anthony Blincoln 0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:14.760 and also Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, has warned Israeli ministers 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:18.040 I'm going to quote it here that failure to demonstrate 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:22.520 a sustained commitment to implementing and maintaining these measures may 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:27.320 have implications for US policy. So this is a very 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:30.840 threatening letter from the United States, and it's been sent 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:36.160 just weeks before the presidential election. But the United States 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:40.360 knows all too well that Israel has been sending enormous 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:44.640 supplies of both food and aid into Gaza. The problems 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:48.560 on the other side. It's up to the humanitarian organizations 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:52.880 in Gaza to distribute it, and they're clearly not doing 0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:56.400 that properly. And in some cases we know that Hamas 0:07:56.520 --> 0:08:01.400 is looting the goods and then reselling them at inflated prices. 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:04.920 But let's have a look now at the actual facts. 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:08.920 Let's take yesterday, October the fifteenth, well A, one hundred and 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:14.360 four trucks carrying humanitarian goods were transferred into Gaza. Seventy 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:18.040 six via the Kerem Shalom crossing and twenty eight by 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:21.480 the Ers crossing, so one hundred and four a trucks, 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:25.800 but only twelve of the seventy six were collected from 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:30.760 the Gaza side of Kerem Shalom. Every day there are 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:34.839 up to thirty tons of aid going into Gaza, and 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:39.680 these figures are published daily, but there are currently five 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:45.000 hundred and thirty trucks worth of AID sitting in Gaza 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:51.040 waiting for collection, five hundred and thirty trucks sitting abandoned now. 0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:54.800 Also yesterday there were six gas tankers for the operation 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:58.800 of essential infrastructure that entered Gaza. There was also the 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:02.920 second round of pole vaccination for children that began just 0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:07.160 yesterday across Gaza, and on top of this, seventy six, 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:12.679 three hundred and ninety four children received vitamin A. There 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:16.720 are also twelve bakeries currently operating in Gaza, four in 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:20.960 the north and eight in the south. Now Kogat, that's 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:24.520 the Israeli body that distributes AID in Gaza. It has 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:29.000 thoroughly rejected the notion that they're impeding the aid, the 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:32.240 entry of any aid at all. They say Israel has 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:38.040 not halted the entry or coordination of humanitarian aid. Elon Levy, 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:40.840 who was on this show last night, he made the 0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:43.880 point today on social media that the best way to 0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:50.040 ensure the uninterrupted supply of humanitarian aid into Gaza is 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:54.679 to remove from power the terrorist regime that is hijacking 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:58.920 that aid, siphoning some for itself and selling the rest 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:05.280 at extortion prices. Now, of course the Democrats know that 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:08.880 this is what's happening. They know that Israel is letting 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:13.560 aid in and tons of it, literally tons. This is 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:17.920 all about politics as the election gets closer and Kamala 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:24.160 Harris is worried she'll lose Nancy Pelosi. Also, this isn't accidental, 0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:28.359 this is by design. Nancy Pelosi came out overnight slamming 0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:33.920 Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Not withnawho. 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:37.080 No, I don't think he's ever believed in peace or 0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:38.840 to state solution. 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:46.920 That's very, very disappointed. Well, given Nancy Pelosi played a 0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:51.480 prominent role in overthrowing Joe Biden, she probably now thinks 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:56.199 she can end Nettiyaho's Prime ministership as well. Well. Pelosi 0:10:56.280 --> 0:11:00.200 needs to be reminded that Israel is a democracy. Up 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:03.480 to the Israelis to decide who their leader is, not 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:07.440 some out of touch left leading Democrat living a world 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:12.120 away from daily rocket fire. And perhaps Pelosi should spend 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:16.360 more time calling for the overthrow of terrorist regimes that 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:23.000 are raping, mutilating, and murdering thousands of people, including American citizens. 0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:27.280 Those are the ones who do not believe in peace, 0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:31.160 not Israel, but that would be asking too much from 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:39.800 yet another fraudulent feminist. Now I've got another big show tonight. 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:44.079 Former IDF combat commander Jonathan Conrichis will join me live 0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:48.760 from Israel. Shorty plus James Patterson, Michael Schubridge. That's all 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:51.880 coming up, but first let's bring in now former Victorian 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:59.240 Liberal Party president Michael Kroger and former labor minister Graham Richardson. Welcome, gentleman, Michael. 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:03.079 I want to start with youraw reaction to my revelations 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:06.439 tonight on the show that the Albanezy government has announced 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:10.559 one hundred million dollars in taxpayer funds for the Evoker 0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:14.080 drive upgrade a road that Albanezy has to drive on 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:17.640 to get to his house. Now coincidental of cost, but 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:19.000 it's not a good look. 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:22.120 Yeah, it's a shocking look. 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:25.439 If you thought yesterday was terrible, today is even worse, 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:29.400 given what you've said. Coincidental, yes, of course, But to 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:31.920 spend one hundred million dollars of federal funds, which is 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:35.040 going to probably increase property values in the area, which 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:38.520 is what happens when these major upgrades take place, et cetera. 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:40.880 Center it's a terrible look. Look, Sharry. 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:43.839 This guy was elected to parliament when John Howard was 0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:48.120 elected Prime Minister twenty eight years ago. On the second 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:50.560 of March next year, Albo will have been in Parliament 0:12:50.640 --> 0:12:54.640 twenty nine years and he's going to try and convince 0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:56.840 the electorate later that month or in April or May 0:12:57.040 --> 0:13:00.120 that he wants to stay for another four years. That 0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:03.680 would be thirty three years in parliament. People are not 0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:05.560 going to buy that. This guy looks as if he's 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:09.840 moved to retirement. He's getting married again, he's buying a 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:13.720 house on the beach up in the north. He's run 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:16.440 out of path. He looks like someone is exhausted. He 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:18.640 doesn't look like he's inspired or ready to go for 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:21.319 another five years as Prime Minister or leader of the 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:24.560 Labor Party. The stuffing was knocked out of him from 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:27.920 the voice onwards. He's never recovered and he just seems 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:29.640 to be going through the motions and he looks as 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:32.000 if to me and I'm sure everyone out there, this 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:34.240 guy just looks as he's headed towards retirement. 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:37.120 Yeah, definitely got one eye on it. To spend your 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:40.040 time house hunting when you're in the middle of a 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:43.760 cost of living crisis, a housing affordability crisis, Richoe, what 0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:44.640 was he thinking? 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:46.800 That's a good question. 0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:51.840 I think the timing is, shall we say, somewhat ill considered. 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:57.360 Obviously he's been in the job a long time. Politicians 0:13:57.400 --> 0:14:01.440 are relatively well paid, so imagine if you go to 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:04.240 the bank manager, it wouldn't be too difficult for him 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:07.600 to raise the money. But that having been said, it's 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:10.719 how it all looks, and at the moment, you know, 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:13.160 with so many people battling to get a house at all, 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:17.199 it's not a good look. It wasn't politically clever. 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:19.720 Rich I've got to ask you, what are some of 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:21.680 the labor insiders saying to you. 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:26.800 I think there's a little bit of disappointment in his judgment. 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:32.480 That's what's been conveyed to me. But you know, in 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:36.680 each defense, I've got to say, you've got. 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:37.680 To be able to buy your house. 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:42.840 That's one of the fundamental things that Australians have always 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:45.880 talked about is the right to home ownership. 0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:48.080 Well, he's got a couple of homes already. We're talking 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:51.480 about a beach house here in a cost of living 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:54.600 and housing affordability crisis. So I don't know if you 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:56.920 Australian dreamans you've got to be able to have a 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:59.160 third and fourth property and one on the beach. 0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:01.720 Yeah, I know, but we're talking about a beach house 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:04.280 to which he's going to retire. I mean, we're not 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:06.720 talking about something he's going to be having on the 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:09.200 market to rent for the next thirty years. He's going 0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:11.080 to retire in it in the next couple of years 0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:12.240 and live in it forever. 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:16.600 So Michael, But Michael, I mean, is this the message 0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:20.280 that he should be setting to Australians, that is preparing 0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:23.520 to retire when he's meant to be focused all of 0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:27.720 his energy on the multiple scandals that he's unleashed on 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:28.520 our country. 0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:33.200 No, Look, it's a terrible message. I mean, look, the 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:35.840 one thing a politian has to do is say I'm 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:38.560 going to serve out the full term. I'm definitely going 0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:41.880 to twenty twenty nine. It's what he'll have to tell people. 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:44.240 I've got no intention of doing any other than being there. 0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:47.320 If you give the electorate any sense at all that 0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:50.960 you might retire midterm after the twenty five election, you 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:53.400 might retire in twenty six to twenty seven, so you're 0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:55.680 not there for the long term. You will get trounced 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:58.280 at the polls. The elector will not vote for a 0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:01.920 politician who is who is basically announced their retirement. Oh 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:04.200 but could you reelect me pleased for another few years 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:07.280 whilst I workout who should be most successful. 0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:09.520 Or to enjoy the job whatever, No, there's no way. 0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:12.960 The electorate always want a politician who is going to 0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:16.200 work one hundred hours a week on their behalf for 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:19.120 them and for the country. If you give any impression 0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:21.080 all that you're on the way out the door, you'll 0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:24.240 get flogged. And this is just such a shocking look. 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:26.160 He looks as if he's He looks as if he's 0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:27.840 headed for the door, and everyone can see that. 0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:29.560 Everyone knows he is headed for the door. 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:32.240 That's why Charmers and Burke and all these other people 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:33.520 are sniffing around. 0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:35.080 It's a terrible look. 0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:37.880 No, one hundred percent. Well, let's turn to someone else 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:40.000 who is about to get chanced in the polls, and 0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:43.800 that's Premier Stephen Miles in Queensland, ten days now away 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:47.160 from losing office. If the career mail poll is anything 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:49.760 to go by, the primary vote has the L and 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:53.840 P ahead by eighteen percent. And this comes as the 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:56.880 leaders faced off in another fiery debate. 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:02.240 He can't tell Queensland how he is funding is more 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:05.840 than seventeen billion dollars of election commitments. 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:08.200 We are in a youth crime crisis, we are in 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:11.080 a health crisis, and the fact the government won't say 0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:13.439 those words tells you they will never be able to 0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:13.960 fix it. 0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:19.199 Rich O, Queensland has clearly seem ready for a change. 0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:23.600 Do you think this sentiment might also impact federally as well? 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:27.840 No, I don't think so. It's I think that we've 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:31.399 seen so many times that people do think separately in 0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:36.960 those two instances, but certainly in the Queensland election, things 0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:39.359 are looking more than grim for labor. 0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:43.320 Michael. Do you think this will be a wipeout in Queensland? 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:45.720 Yeah? 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:45.919 I do. 0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:48.560 I mean, you know, in defense of per Old Stephen, 0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:51.000 they are going for fourth term and as they keep saying, 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:54.200 fourth terms are almost impossible to win. Because the Electric thinks, well, 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:56.600 if if it's so necessary to reelect you, because you've 0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:59.440 got those great ideas, why did you implement them before? 0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:02.919 I mean, the implement the fifty cent transport feares, before 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:05.800 the free lunches at schools before, No, the Electric things 0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:08.280 lease are just destinate measures so you can get another 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:10.800 four years premiere if they were such good ideas you've had, 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:13.159 you've had since twenty fifteen to Wilming with them. So 0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:15.960 he looks as if he's headed for eight percent plus 0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:18.720 swing against him. I think christophully On he needs five 0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:21.199 in a mid eleven or twelve seats. So Miles is 0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:25.399 going to get flogged. He's trying his best, but he's 0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:29.760 just he looks desperate and he's going to be headed 0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:32.600 for the door on Saturday week. 0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:35.840 Yeah, indeed, And well I'll be watching of course. Now. 0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:39.920 Foreign Minister Pennywong has been pandering for some time now 0:18:39.960 --> 0:18:43.160 to the pro Palestinian crowd. Well she got to see 0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:46.719 some of them up close today at the University of Tasmania. 0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:49.199 She was trying to deliver a speech. She just couldn't 0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:50.760 get through it. Here's what happened. 0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:57.400 This is a very distressing Well, I don't actually believe, 0:18:57.640 --> 0:19:00.480 and I've never believed that we gain any thing by 0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:01.680 shouting each other down. 0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:13.720 Right now, leading. 0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:16.359 Twenty twenty four is on track to be even worse. 0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:20.880 She eventually just got fed up and she left the stage. 0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:23.200 She tried to lecture them she tried to tell them 0:19:23.240 --> 0:19:26.000 to listen to what she had to say. Rich, Oh, 0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:28.399 this is the crowd she's been poundering to. 0:19:29.880 --> 0:19:32.359 Yeah, well that's not much of a crowd that's worth 0:19:32.400 --> 0:19:36.800 poundering too. At any point, I think, you know mugs 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:39.760 or trumps sometimes, and that's what you saw, then. 0:19:40.680 --> 0:19:44.400 Yeah, Michael, I mean, unless she comes out and actually 0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:47.360 says that she doesn't support Israel's right to exist, she's 0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:50.520 she's not going to win with that group. And yet 0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:53.639 they keep trying to. They keep going further and further 0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:55.919 to the left, more and more extreme, to try and 0:19:55.960 --> 0:19:56.880 win them over. 0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:01.400 The noisiest vessels of the hard left and the hard right. 0:20:01.520 --> 0:20:03.719 And she's been pandering to the hard left for all 0:20:03.760 --> 0:20:06.680 the reasons we know, trying to stop the Greens winning seats, 0:20:06.720 --> 0:20:09.320 et cetera, et cetera. She's been panted to them. But 0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:11.760 you can never be extreme enough for these people. So 0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:14.640 I thought when I first saw that, oh, these will 0:20:14.720 --> 0:20:18.920 be you know, pro Jewish demonstrators angry with the treatment 0:20:18.960 --> 0:20:20.720 of Jews on campuses, for example. 0:20:20.760 --> 0:20:22.920 Then I thought, oh, no, it's the it's. 0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:25.119 People from her left, I mean, to be left of 0:20:25.200 --> 0:20:27.840 Penny Wong on the Middle East, is some damn achievement, 0:20:27.920 --> 0:20:31.399 to be honest, let's you know, that's some achievement. So 0:20:32.200 --> 0:20:36.000 you know, you can't panter these extremists. Their whole motus 0:20:36.040 --> 0:20:39.159 operande is to intimidate. They're trying to intimidate Wong. They 0:20:39.200 --> 0:20:41.600 certainly intimidate Albanez. You know a lot of people in 0:20:41.640 --> 0:20:44.200 the labor government. You have to stand up to thugs 0:20:44.200 --> 0:20:47.960 and bullies and Jewish hating racists in this country. You've 0:20:47.960 --> 0:20:50.760 got to stand up for them with honor and integrity 0:20:50.960 --> 0:20:54.760 and courage. And although you'd expect them to say this, 0:20:55.000 --> 0:20:58.160 that's what Peter Dutton has done, it's what James Patterson's done, 0:20:58.200 --> 0:20:59.919 and it's what Simon Birming has done. 0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:04.040 Yep. You know what, Michael, We have been broadcasting on 0:21:04.080 --> 0:21:07.640 the show just how unsafe it is for Jewish students 0:21:07.680 --> 0:21:10.359 to turn up to universities like A and U and Canberra, 0:21:10.520 --> 0:21:15.360 like University of Sydney. They can't actually get through classes 0:21:15.440 --> 0:21:19.840 lectures sometimes because of protests and activity like that. The 0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:23.120 federal government has been basically silent on it. And then 0:21:23.280 --> 0:21:26.240 Penny One got a taste of it today. I wonder 0:21:26.280 --> 0:21:29.280 if she regrets failing to stand up for the Jewish 0:21:29.320 --> 0:21:32.040 students exactly. Well, let's have a look at where Donald 0:21:32.080 --> 0:21:34.840 Trump and Kamala Harris are up to now. The latest 0:21:34.880 --> 0:21:38.840 polls have the election results so tight that Greg Sheridan 0:21:38.880 --> 0:21:42.680 wrote today that Democrats will spring both an October surprise 0:21:43.200 --> 0:21:47.320 and an election Day surprise in desperate last minute efforts 0:21:47.359 --> 0:21:52.080 to keep Trump out of office. Rich O, the polls 0:21:52.119 --> 0:21:54.480 that I've seen over the past day or so have 0:21:54.680 --> 0:21:58.600 Trump just ever so slightly ahead, zero point four percent 0:21:58.640 --> 0:22:01.439 ahead in those seven battle ground state. But we know 0:22:01.520 --> 0:22:05.800 that in the past elections his support has been underestimated. 0:22:05.880 --> 0:22:07.919 So where do you think this has had it? 0:22:09.160 --> 0:22:12.120 Well, I've got to say I'm a little worried. I 0:22:12.160 --> 0:22:15.399 wasn't so worried six weeks ago. But the closer it 0:22:15.440 --> 0:22:19.520 gets to the day, the better Trump's doing, There's no 0:22:19.600 --> 0:22:23.600 doubt about that. The question then becomes how many people 0:22:23.680 --> 0:22:25.760 go out to vote for it, because that's what it's 0:22:25.800 --> 0:22:29.000 all about in America is getting your team out onto 0:22:29.040 --> 0:22:32.800 the paddock. And I'm not sure that you know you 0:22:32.840 --> 0:22:36.760 can always guarantee that because you look okay in the polls, 0:22:36.800 --> 0:22:40.879 your team's coming out. And so, as far as I'm concerned, 0:22:41.240 --> 0:22:46.040 it still looks like a knife edge. But I'm certainly 0:22:46.080 --> 0:22:53.120 not giving Harris any edge over Trump, which I would 0:22:53.119 --> 0:22:54.720 have been doing a few weeks back. 0:22:55.080 --> 0:22:57.440 Just to be clear for any shadow of doubt, Rich, 0:22:57.480 --> 0:23:02.720 I strongly supporting Kamala Harris Kroger. How do you see this? 0:23:02.960 --> 0:23:04.800 Just you know, two and a half weeks or so 0:23:04.920 --> 0:23:06.160 out from polling day. 0:23:08.160 --> 0:23:12.159 So I think there's a sixty five percent likelihood And 0:23:12.200 --> 0:23:14.720 now that Trump will win. He looks like the winner 0:23:14.720 --> 0:23:17.359 in Arizona. He looks like the winner in North Carolina. 0:23:18.960 --> 0:23:19.640 He looks like the. 0:23:19.560 --> 0:23:25.679 Winner in Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin. She was well ahead 0:23:25.760 --> 0:23:28.560 and now she's only mildly head or the lioneball. She 0:23:28.680 --> 0:23:32.600 was ahead in Pennsylvania, now he's ahead. It's just it's 0:23:32.640 --> 0:23:35.919
