Speaker 1: From the Skying Center.
Speaker 2: This is Paul Murray Live. Hello everyone.
Speaker 1: Hopefully you've had a wonderful weekend, Happy Mother's Day.
Speaker 2: More details about that in the moment, but I hope
Speaker 2: everyone got spoiled. If not three hours left on the
Speaker 2: East coast.
Speaker 1: To get something from macus, I don't know now. One
Speaker 1: thing that, of course was beautiful to see. Well a
Speaker 1: lot of people couldn't because of rain in big parts
Speaker 1: of the country. But if you were lucky enough to
Speaker 1: be able to see the Aurora Australis well you've been
Speaker 1: able to have the photo of a lifetime. This is
Speaker 1: a something that came from Tasmania where it was absolutely
Speaker 1: spectacular last night. I believe a little further up north
Speaker 1: in the country it'll be better tonight. If you've got
Speaker 1: photo send them to me, Paul. That's got on news
Speaker 1: dot com dot Au. This is the view from Victoria
Speaker 1: as well, absolutely stunning. The lighthouse stuff just a special
Speaker 1: expression of what mother nature can produce every now and
Speaker 1: then in Kangaroo Island in Queensland as well.
Speaker 2: You name mom. All the photos are there now.
Speaker 1: Like a lot of people, I have been enjoying the
Speaker 1: photos and going jeez, that's pretty amazing. So what actually
Speaker 1: is going on that produced such beautiful skylines over the
Speaker 1: past couple of nights.
Speaker 3: The phenomenon occurs when electrically charged particles from solar winds
Speaker 3: enter the Earth's atmosphere and interact with gases. The event
Speaker 3: hits the entire planet at the same time, but the
Speaker 3: tilt of the Earth at your location and the weather
Speaker 3: conditions will determine just what types of colors and movement
Speaker 3: you see.
Speaker 2: I definitely knew that.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Nikola. If you've got those great photos, keep
Speaker 1: them coming through. Paulittsgews dot com dot au. So okay,
Speaker 1: Mother's Day for obvious reasons. To all of the beautiful
Speaker 1: mothers in my life, Thank you so much. To my
Speaker 1: beautiful mum, Jude Judith Is she's officially known, of course,
Speaker 1: who taught me about the values that I've put together
Speaker 1: in my life, the work, ethic, all the rest of it.
Speaker 1: I love her very much and she's always so supportive
Speaker 1: of what I do. Her husband Wayne as well. To
Speaker 1: my beautiful wife Shan. This is the greatest job I
Speaker 1: will ever have. It truly is the greatest job, and
Speaker 1: it's the job I dreamed of and it's the job
Speaker 1: that I hopefully will be here for a long time
Speaker 1: to do, but it does come at a cost to
Speaker 1: our family. I don't get to tuck the kids in
Speaker 1: at night, and I'm not much of a chat in
Speaker 1: the mornings. And may I just say publicly what many
Speaker 1: a dad has probably written in a card, But to
Speaker 1: the mums who take on all that extra because of
Speaker 1: the job that dad does, thank you specifically to my wife.
Speaker 1: Of course, our kids are amazing and it's.
Speaker 2: All because of her. All the bad stuff.
Speaker 1: Dad and his poonch on for let's watch fail videos
Speaker 1: kids not the greatest way to bring up future awesome
Speaker 1: little Australians, but my wife balances it all out and
Speaker 1: I love us so much. So all the best to
Speaker 1: all the mums that are watching us, all the mums
Speaker 1: around the country who are so wonderfully loyal to this program.
Speaker 2: Now in.
Speaker 1: Forbes today, there was a gathering of people who decided
Speaker 1: to honor a mum who is no longer here, a
Speaker 1: mother who, of course was murdered. Now as we know,
Speaker 1: Molly was murdered a couple of weeks ago. The person
Speaker 1: police believed responsible for that, what we now say is
Speaker 1: alleged crime is of course currently behind bars. But there's
Speaker 1: the whole conversation about bail and all of that that's
Speaker 1: happened before. But I want to say thank you to
Speaker 1: the people of Forbes because they use their mother's day
Speaker 1: to go for a walk, and they did so in
Speaker 1: their hundreds, and they did so specifically to keep Molly's
Speaker 1: name in the headlines and it worked. This thing was
Speaker 1: covered all over the news today and well, Doneder, every
Speaker 1: person who took part of that in Forbes, they did
Speaker 1: exactly the right thing. And the family spokesperson says these
Speaker 1: events are necessary to keep visible Molly's name and the
Speaker 1: demand that what failed her does not fail other women.
Speaker 4: Magistrates really really need to think of the victims instead
Speaker 4: of the perpetrators, and we just need to keep their
Speaker 4: names alive because.
Speaker 2: If we'd be quiet, they'll stop listening.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 1: Of course, there was an opportunity for our government to
Speaker 1: take what happened to Molly seriously, to follow what the
Speaker 1: people of Forbes were walking for today and what common
Speaker 1: sense made very clear. When National Cabinet meant to discuss
Speaker 1: domestic violence, they should have really only concluded one urgent
Speaker 1: and automatic thing. And by the way, remember those five
Speaker 1: thousand dollars payments. Well I've read some fine print on those.
Speaker 1: That was the big headline that came out of that meeting.
Speaker 1: Well those don't kick in until not this but next
Speaker 1: financial year, like fifteen months away. So what should have
Speaker 1: happened was that, just like when John Howard after Port Arthur,
Speaker 1: you get all the states together, you find one piece
Speaker 1: of legislation.
Speaker 2: You can make it one page long, and.
Speaker 1: All it says is that if somebody has form, they
Speaker 1: have zero none duck egg, bugger raw chance of bail. Now,
Speaker 1: sadly that didn't happen at the federal level, but it
Speaker 1: is happening.
Speaker 2: In Molly's home state of New South Wales.
Speaker 1: I want to commend the Men's government, who tomorrow will
Speaker 1: announce in greater detail just that the idea that bail
Speaker 1: will now not be available to low lives who have
Speaker 1: committed domestic violence offenses in the past. Chris Means will
Speaker 1: make the announcement formally and properly tomorrow, but I just
Speaker 1: wanted to say well done to the News and Welds
Speaker 1: government for actually doing so and putting that law in place,
Speaker 1: and just finally you know that there's a cause that
Speaker 1: I care about deeply, and that is making sure that
Speaker 1: sick little bubbers are able to make it through their
Speaker 1: first few days on this planet.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Sadly, for that to happen, in many places around the country,
Speaker 1: they need equipment donated to the kid's version of intensive care.
Speaker 1: The charity that does that is the Humpty Dumpty Foundation,
Speaker 1: And as you know, last year we got together and
Speaker 1: we raised an awful lot of money for the good
Speaker 1: people of Mildura to make sure that they would be
Speaker 1: able to have parents and kids who could stay together
Speaker 1: in that area to make it through the first few days.
Speaker 1: If something got more serious, yes they'd go somewhere else.
Speaker 1: But more equipment in more locations means that more babies
Speaker 1: will survive. That's deeply important to me for the obvious
Speaker 1: reasons about the loss of our little man Leo way
Speaker 1: too many years ago. But of course it feels like
Speaker 1: just thirty seconds ago. So tonight for Mother's Day again,
Speaker 1: maybe you have forgotten the gift, or maybe you think
Speaker 1: the gift that you ended up unwrapping today wasn't that amazing. Well,
Speaker 1: you know what you could do if you do have
Speaker 1: any loose money around and I get it. It's tough,
Speaker 1: but please go to Humpy Dumpty dot org dot au,
Speaker 1: Humpty dumpty dot org dot au, because tonight they are
Speaker 1: running a fundraiser to make sure that mums around the
Speaker 1: country will have more medical equipment to take care of
Speaker 1: what they need to keep the little people alive so
Speaker 1: they become the future of our country. Please Humpty dumpty
Speaker 1: dot org dot au. Big beautiful cause, big beautiful people,
Speaker 1: and I love them very much. Now, by the way,
Speaker 1: across this weekend, your gift is going to be matched
Speaker 1: dollar for dollar by all the people who are the
Speaker 1: corporate supporters. All of it is tax deductible over the age,
Speaker 1: over the over the amount of two dollars. So please
Speaker 1: do your bit for them if you can. I know
Speaker 1: I ask you so often for help with things, but
Speaker 1: this audience reacts so beautifully all the time. Humpty Dumpty
Speaker 1: dot org dot au is the way to get in
Speaker 1: touch with the Humpty Dumpty Foundation. Now there's going to
Speaker 1: be a fire hose of bs that is going to
Speaker 1: be coming our way from Canberra, even more so than
Speaker 1: usual because the federal budget is just but a couple
Speaker 1: of sleeps away. I know who cares, but the reality
Speaker 1: is that it is being printed. It has been printed.
Speaker 1: It is in the position of all of the people
Speaker 1: in Parliament House who needed it'll be formally released to
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of reporters that get locked up so
Speaker 1: they get their government spin and they all come out
Speaker 1: and funnily enough say exactly the thing.
Speaker 2: Thankfully. We will be watching it in real time.
Speaker 1: We'll learn about the budget, go inside and out for
Speaker 1: you a nine thirty in a ninety minute special edition
Speaker 1: of poul Marie Live on Tuesday night. I'll pull it
Speaker 1: apart for you. I'll tell the five things that you
Speaker 1: need to know. We'll call out the bs, we'll see
Speaker 1: the games that are being played. Every treasurer loves the
Speaker 1: budget because it really is their moment in the sun
Speaker 1: as a way of sort of reminding us that there
Speaker 1: are other people than the Prime Minister who could run
Speaker 1: the country. And Jim Chalmers was out there with all
Speaker 1: the family photos off here. I am just naturally picking
Speaker 1: up some flowers for flower Mother's Day. A few days
Speaker 1: ago there was photographers brought into the family home. Because
Speaker 1: I'm not dad, just like you, and again, unlike the Left,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be a nasty bugger. Of course
Speaker 1: he loves his kids. Of course he loves his family.
Speaker 1: Of course he loves his wife. But that has been
Speaker 1: the pre budget look at me going into the budget.
Speaker 1: But of course at the heart of this budget is
Speaker 1: going to be a failure to deliver on what they
Speaker 1: promise to live on, and that is to actually do
Speaker 1: something about cost of living. Yet it doesn't stop them
Speaker 1: saying it in all of the pre hype interviews, any
Speaker 1: of which took place on all the different types of
Speaker 1: TV stations, Sunday News shows, Oh, there's definitely going to
Speaker 1: be help when it comes to cost of living.
Speaker 6: Really is the biggest priority in the budget. We know
Speaker 6: that you're under the pump, we know you're under pressure,
Speaker 6: and we're trying to help where we can in the
Speaker 6: most responsible way.
Speaker 1: You know, we've done this for months, we've done it
Speaker 1: for years. We know that that's not true. Now, yes,
Speaker 1: this budget will formally put in place the changes to
Speaker 1: the Stage three tax cards, which remember, if you're needing
Speaker 1: just forty five thousand dollars, it's fifteen bucks a week,
Speaker 1: and even the best spin that everyone can put on
Speaker 1: the numbers. If this moves this way and this moves
Speaker 1: that way, it's going to be what thirty nine dollars
Speaker 1: a week in extra help. Now that extra help is,
Speaker 1: of course, not money that the government produces. They just
Speaker 1: turn around and say things like you'll be able to
Speaker 1: keep thirty nine dollars a week now. Yes, when you
Speaker 1: add it all up together, you can push it as
Speaker 1: close to two thousand dollars as you want, but that's
Speaker 1: not how the system works. Of course, when you pay
Speaker 1: your tax, you pay it weekly, fortnightly, monthly, whatever your
Speaker 1: pay cycle is, so you're.
Speaker 2: Not going to notice that change.
Speaker 1: But I'm going to say well done to one group
Speaker 1: in the media who didn't just let Jim Charmers get
Speaker 1: away with just the sales job. The look at me,
Speaker 1: I'm so good, I'm the guy next door. I could
Speaker 1: be your future prime in all of that rubbish, and
Speaker 1: it was SBS.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: SBS actually did a report a couple of days ago
Speaker 1: about just how many people are struggling in the Queens
Speaker 1: and town of Gladston that, of course, we've done ourtown
Speaker 1: in not that long ago.
Speaker 2: And Ana Henderson, who.
Speaker 1: Works for SBS, decided to play to the treasurer some
Speaker 1: of the things that had been in that report.
Speaker 2: Now this is part of it, and it is a
Speaker 2: bloke who.
Speaker 1: Now lives in a car near the river because his
Speaker 1: rent went up to high and he just could not
Speaker 1: afford it.
Speaker 2: Here he is and this was what was shown to
Speaker 2: the Treasurer.
Speaker 7: The rent's gone from one hundred and eighty dollars a
Speaker 7: week to three hundred and twenty. Yeah, that doesn't sound
Speaker 7: like much, but three hundred and twenty is pretty much
Speaker 7: my ceiling. People need to be able to breathe and
Speaker 7: think about more than just budgeting for every tiny little thing.
Speaker 1: So the Treasurer was shown what that bloke is going through.
Speaker 1: It's an example of the person we've talked about so
Speaker 1: many times for the most obvious of reasons, because not
Speaker 1: only do we care, but we also have to make
Speaker 1: sure that we send the message to the people who
Speaker 1: are watching us right now and their taxpath under accommodation
Speaker 1: in Canberra. You've got to do something about it. You
Speaker 1: don't just yap about it. You've got to do something
Speaker 1: about it now. The Treasurer's response to that piece of
Speaker 1: footage was, of course, to point to the billions of
Speaker 1: dollars which we'll go into social housing over the next
Speaker 1: ten years, but that bloke's living by a river tonight.
Speaker 1: But it was the following comments which to me he
Speaker 1: showed how the treasure has no interest in actually doing
Speaker 1: something because he may well have been shown a video
Speaker 1: of a classic car somebody was fixing up. There was
Speaker 1: no emotional response. This, in fact is what he said.
Speaker 2: We would.
Speaker 1: Need to always do better, and we can do better.
Speaker 1: There will be billions of dollars in relief and assistance
Speaker 1: for people who are under the pump, in addition to a.
Speaker 2: Tax cut for every taxpayer. That's it just sell.
Speaker 1: I understand, I'm going to call that bloke. I'm going
Speaker 1: to work out what we could none of that. It
Speaker 1: just was an inconvenient little bump on the road of
Speaker 1: self promotion in the lead up to a budget which
Speaker 1: will of course.
Speaker 2: Make everything look rosy.
Speaker 1: Everything that they give to you is of course largely
Speaker 1: done either with borrowed money or with higher taxation. But
Speaker 1: again the details about the number of people who are
Speaker 1: looking to something from the government, who will get nothing
Speaker 1: from the government and will not wake up any better.
Speaker 1: Now they'll say, oh, there's a tax cut, there's thirty
Speaker 1: nine bucks a week. Now, I understand when you're looking
Speaker 1: at that across the Australian population, it's billions and billions
Speaker 1: of dollars. But you've got to divide it by the
Speaker 1: number of people that are working and divide that by
Speaker 1: fifty two weeks and you actually see how little it is.
Speaker 1: So while everyone will focus on the big number, I'm
Speaker 1: going to focus on the number that you will be
Speaker 1: doing in your head to work out whether anything has
Speaker 1: actually happened, whether the needle has moved at all, and
Speaker 1: people need it. My bomb Shaw buddy Liz Tilly, riding
Speaker 1: in the Quoimr today talks about how there's a million
Speaker 1: people in Queens and a million house olds in Queensand
Speaker 1: that are in financial stress. Now, I've also been banging
Speaker 1: on for some time that this government is in a
Speaker 1: position to cut petrol taxes. It it costs the exact
Speaker 1: same money. About the changes they've made to make sure
Speaker 1: that some people won't have to pay slightly higher UNI fees.
Speaker 1: Three billion bucks, he's going to have a surplus. And remember,
Speaker 1: if the surface is anything over three billion dollars, then
Speaker 1: he's got the room to move.
Speaker 2: But he won't move.
Speaker 1: In fact, he's even telling us on television he won't
Speaker 1: move on a tax that his government doubled since they
Speaker 1: came to office and now is four forty nine cents
Speaker 1: per litter.
Speaker 6: You know, we think there are other ways to provide
Speaker 6: that cost of living help. And we've got one hundred
Speaker 6: and seven billion dollars in tax cuts flowing in the
Speaker 6: coming years from July are already and that will provide
Speaker 6: that average tax cut of thirty six dollars a week
Speaker 6: in addition to the other cost of living help that
Speaker 6: we are providing.
Speaker 1: No, no, honestly, think about the bloke living by the
Speaker 1: river right now, the bloke living by the river in
Speaker 1: his car. If he uses his car, he needs to
Speaker 1: pay for it with petrol. The family that are dropping
Speaker 1: their kids off at childcare, the bloke who's driving the van,
Speaker 1: the woman who is going from job to job to
Speaker 1: job as a hairdresser. They all use their cars. This
Speaker 1: is an opportunity to lessen the pressure, but for some
Speaker 1: pig headed reason, they won't do it. And perhaps it's
Speaker 1: because it is the source of revenue to them. It's
Speaker 1: billions of dollars of revenue to them. And if you're
Speaker 1: actually honest about the upcoming budget, and it's apparent surplus.
Speaker 1: You can bring it down to petrol taxes, alcohol taxes.
Speaker 2: Cigarette taxes.
Speaker 1: All of that takes you way past twenty billion dollars
Speaker 1: in revenue. So without that we would be in deficit,
Speaker 1: which is why he won't cut it. So despite the
Speaker 1: fact that they will bang on about it and talk
Speaker 1: all the time constantly about the cost of living and
Speaker 1: the focus.
Speaker 2: Of it and the reason why.
Speaker 1: The reality is they could pull a lever, but they
Speaker 1: choose not to because it helps them have a budget surplus,
Speaker 1: which gives them the opportunity to go to an election
Speaker 1: and say, how good are we Interesting Pole Today's found
Speaker 1: that seventy seven seventy seven percent of voters don't think
Speaker 1: that the federal budget will deliver on cost of living
Speaker 1: at all. So they want to have it both ways.
Speaker 1: They want to talk it up like they're doing it
Speaker 1: because I'm the guy next door in the flowers and
Speaker 1: the family and all that stuff. But when he's actually
Speaker 1: in a position to do something that would help the
Speaker 1: person who's living in their car or the guy who's
Speaker 1: homeless and sleeps in his car by the river, he
Speaker 1: won't do it because they need the gold star of
Speaker 1: a surplus rather than actually doing anything to help people
Speaker 1: like that bloke. Extra meantime, more poles are bad news
Speaker 1: for the Labor Party, particularly bad news for the Prime Minister,
Speaker 1: seen here in his male model efforts in twenty twenty
Speaker 1: two when he said I'm just as at home in
Speaker 1: a parb as i am in a boardroom. Please, twenty
Speaker 1: seven percent of Labor voters have apparently walked away from
Speaker 1: the Labor Party since the last election. Now, if that
Speaker 1: actually bears out at an election, then obviously you're talking
Speaker 1: about a potential change of government, not just minority government.
Speaker 2: Which is where it is going to go most likely.
Speaker 1: The new poll shows that the federal government has lost
Speaker 1: confidence of a large chunk of voters that carried it
Speaker 1: into office. And remember only just they've got a two
Speaker 1: seat majority in twenty two in a sign of a
Speaker 1: fickle electorate. No, it's a sign of an electorate that
Speaker 1: doesn't like being lied to, lied to by a blow
Speaker 1: who promise he was going to do something about cost
Speaker 1: of living, but it all gets worse and then they
Speaker 1: turn around and tell you that thirty six bucks a
Speaker 1: week for the average taxpayer is going to be enough
Speaker 1: to change anyone's lives. It's all well and good if
Speaker 1: you've got a car paid for by the taxpayer and
Speaker 1: a fuel card paid for by the taxpayer. Of course
Speaker 1: the numbers eight percent have gone to the Greens, so
Speaker 1: the government's not left wing enough. Eight percent has gone
Speaker 1: to the coalition. Eight percent is now undecided. And remember
Speaker 1: in the undecideds in many other polls, they eventually start
Speaker 1: breaking away from the government. Once you've broken up with them,
Speaker 1: it's very hard to win them back. We'll see whether
Speaker 1: the BS that comes out on Tuesday will actually achieve
Speaker 1: any of that. Three percent, by the way, has gone
Speaker 1: off to small parties and one Nation yet again, looking
Speaker 1: at what we've talked about before, a little growth at
Speaker 1: the moment in one nation at the moment. It always
Speaker 1: seems to happen mid mid survey. But we'll see what
Speaker 1: happens when it comes to a full election. We'll talk
Speaker 1: to James Ashby and Hobby of others and the Nosoks
Speaker 1: no Lefties Mother's Day edition here. Meantime, the polling about
Speaker 1: the leaders themselves. Australians would rather have a beer or
Speaker 1: a meal with Anthony Albernezi, but Peter Dutton would be
Speaker 1: the person who'd be there to pick up to put
Speaker 1: up a shelf. So if you want something done, Dutton,
Speaker 1: if you just want to get the fields, you hang
Speaker 1: out with Albow. In a more serious finding though inside
Speaker 1: this thing they spoke to two thousand voters and words
Speaker 1: like weak, liar and useless come up as the most
Speaker 1: frequent about the Prime minister. For Peter Dutton, it's strong,
Speaker 1: but then arrogant, boring and untrustworthy.
Speaker 2: Now, there were some.
Speaker 1: Pretty nasty games that were played over the weekend around
Speaker 1: an issue which you and I can see as clearly
Speaker 1: as it is. But the federal government has now tried
Speaker 1: to put detail on the table to make sure that
Speaker 1: tomorrow they will not be asked questions about the failures
Speaker 1: of how they dealt with the people who were never refugees,
Speaker 1: who should have never stayed in the country, but they
Speaker 1: stayed in the country because they were constantly appealing inside
Speaker 1: the system. Many of these people had serious criminal records
Speaker 1: and were not supposed to be back out on the street,
Speaker 1: but they ended up back out on the street because
Speaker 1: the High Court ruled that somebody was a previous sex
Speaker 1: offender had a right to not be indefinitely detained.
Speaker 2: You know the story.
Speaker 1: You also know that the most egregious example of this
Speaker 1: is a bloke who was supposed to be wearing an
Speaker 1: ankle bracelet but he wasn't. He's a bloke who is
Speaker 1: alleged to a bit involved in the bashing. Is that
Speaker 1: Western Australian grandmother, the Westernerceralian grandmother who the Prime Minister,
Speaker 1: by the way, even though he was in Perth last week,
Speaker 1: couldn't be bothered picking up the phone litt alonegoing to
Speaker 1: her house.
Speaker 8: I'm not currently scheduled to visit Annette Simon, so my
Speaker 8: heart goes out to Annette silence.
Speaker 1: But the Cambra Press Gallery thought, aha, the issue has
Speaker 1: now been neutralized because the claim is that another person
Speaker 1: who was alleged to have taken part in that assault
Speaker 1: had been released from detention in twenty twenty, and that
Speaker 1: means it's all Peter Dutton's fault.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Of course, without getting into too many obvious details, because
Speaker 1: the court process is playing now, we're talking about two
Speaker 1: very different people and two people who were released for
Speaker 1: two very different reasons. But for those who are trying
Speaker 1: to desperately shift this issue away from one that Andrew
Speaker 1: Giles and Clara O'Neil and the Prime Minister need to
Speaker 1: answer questions about there well. Taking the stick to this one.
Speaker 1: Court records show that this person was charged with a
Speaker 1: string of offenses after the coalition government released him from
Speaker 1: detention in twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: What do you do.
Speaker 1: He's fine for drug possession and driving under the influence
Speaker 1: of illicit drugs. Now, neither of those are acceptable crimes.
Speaker 1: But if they want to turn around and pretend that
Speaker 1: that's the same as some of the people who were
Speaker 1: let out under the Labour Party's watch, people who did
Speaker 1: not end up with and apparently less than half of
Speaker 1: the people who came out of detention at the end
Speaker 1: of last year are currently wearing ankle bracelets.
Speaker 2: Good luck. But of course Labour now says Peter Dutton, Peter.
Speaker 1: Dutton and Peter Dutton and most of the media will
Speaker 1: run that way and think he's the problem.
Speaker 8: It's up to Peter Dutton to explain how this occurred,
Speaker 8: why this occurred, and to reconcile the statements that have
Speaker 8: been made by the Shadow Minister Patterson and Shadow Minister
Speaker 8: Tan and Peter Dutton himself, how the statements that they've
Speaker 8: made this week can be reconciled with this fact.
Speaker 2: Seriously.
Speaker 1: Anyway, they'll have their go in question time. We'll see
Speaker 1: how the media reports. I wonder which side they'll end
Speaker 1: up picking. Now, I want to explain a couple of
Speaker 1: things about the reason events that are taking place Gaza Israel.
Speaker 1: And as you know, after October the seventh, one of
Speaker 1: the first world leaders to get to Israel was Joe Biden.
Speaker 1: He in fact literally met and physically hugged Benjaminettania, who
Speaker 1: he apparently in other meetings said look, it's okay that
Speaker 1: you respond, just don't go too far. But much of
Speaker 1: the center left governments around the world say that Israel
Speaker 1: has gone too far. Of course, the red line being
Speaker 1: currently their movements into the most southern parts of Gaza,
Speaker 1: as they're making their way through to a place called Rafa.
Speaker 1: Now again I'm just bouncing over some of the history here.
Speaker 1: Please don't send my homework to the principal. But interestingly,
Speaker 1: Joe Biden turned around and said, after these events started
Speaker 1: to take place, because remember essentially in Gaza, you know,
Speaker 1: the whole top half had been hit, so people were
Speaker 1: told move south, move south. Moved south, and about a
Speaker 1: million people right now in the tippy bottom of the south.
Speaker 1: But they think that there's a must there as well.
Speaker 1: So Joe Biden went on television last week and said,
Speaker 1: We're going to keep sending your guns and bullets, but
Speaker 1: we're not going to send you the massive bombs that
Speaker 1: could just destroy from the air.
Speaker 2: You're going to have to go house to house to
Speaker 2: deal with this one.
Speaker 1: And a lot of people have tried to work out
Speaker 1: how and why has Israel Has the United States gone
Speaker 1: from hugging Nittanyau to now warning Netanyahu. And if you
Speaker 1: think it's because of the protests on college campuses, you
Speaker 1: would be wrong because the reality is that for a
Speaker 1: certain section of voters, yes, mainly young but certainly further
Speaker 1: left wing voters who voted for Biden in two thousand
Speaker 1: and twenty, the issue of what is happening between Israel
Speaker 1: and Palestine is an issue that they say they are
Speaker 1: willing to move their vote. It may not go directly
Speaker 1: to Trump, but they may well just up and not
Speaker 1: vote for Biden. If that happens, Biden would definitely lose,
Speaker 1: which is why he has gone from hugging to red
Speaker 1: lining Israel.
Speaker 2: Now important to note in.
Speaker 1: This is the C and N facts, because the C
Speaker 1: and N facts are going to tell you that when
Speaker 1: it comes to people who sport Biden's handling of the situation,
Speaker 1: most of them will vote for him again in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four. But for the Democratic voters who voted for
Speaker 1: him last time, if they disagree with what he's been
Speaker 1: doing in terms of Israel and Palestine, they won't vote
Speaker 1: for him, and thus he will lose.
Speaker 9: So, if you like Biden on the Israel Gaza war,
Speaker 9: look at that, he's getting eighty seven percent of the vote.
Speaker 5: RFK Junior is getting eight.
Speaker 2: Donald Trump way down here at four.
Speaker 9: But if you dislike Biden, if you disapprove of the
Speaker 9: job he's doing on the Israel Gadzawar, look at this,
Speaker 9: he's getting just fifty percent of that vote. My goodness, gracious,
Speaker 9: these are people who voted for him last time. RFK
Speaker 9: Junior is getting twenty percent. This is just a thirty
Speaker 9: point margin compared to a seventy nine point margin.
Speaker 2: Among those who approve of Biden on.
Speaker 5: The Israel Gaza war.
Speaker 9: This is a huge dividing line within the Democratic Party,
Speaker 9: and that's something, of course, we're seeing right now between
Speaker 9: the progressive wing and those more centrist or mainstream Democrats.
Speaker 1: Which is why Joe Biden is in part trying to
Speaker 1: bring an end to all of this, regardless of whether
Speaker 1: he should or he should or he should have a
Speaker 1: long time ago. He's now claiming that there could be
Speaker 1: a saisfire as early as tomorrow. We'll all find out.
Speaker 1: We'll report back by this time tomorrow. Meantime, Trump was
Speaker 1: allowed out of the courtroom for just a couple of days,
Speaker 1: because that's what happens. The only time he can campaign
Speaker 1: is effectively on the weekends. He was in New Jersey,
Speaker 1: a state where the Republicans almost won the governorship, but
Speaker 1: essentially Republicans don't win there. It's a blue state. But
Speaker 1: apparently one hundred thousand people turned up. One hundred thousand
Speaker 1: people turned up to see Trump, and of course they
Speaker 1: were particularly fired up about his experiences that he's been
Speaker 1: having in that courtroom in New York, a courtroom that,
Speaker 1: of course is supposed to be about paperwork, but it's
Speaker 1: been so much about a whole bunch of other garbage.
Speaker 1: But anyway, here's what the crowd think of what's happening
Speaker 1: to Trump in the courtroom just across the river. Meantime,
Speaker 1: last week, the media was excited about every little detail
Speaker 1: that Stormy Daniels had to say. Now, remember, the case
Speaker 1: against him is not did he or did he did
Speaker 1: he or did he not sleep with Stormy Daniels.
Speaker 2: That's irrelevant.
Speaker 1: The case against him is about whether the non disclosure agreement,
Speaker 1: the hush money, which is not illegal, either not that
Speaker 1: it was made or not, not whether she was happy
Speaker 1: with it or not, but about how it was accounted
Speaker 1: for in the books of the Trump organization. And surprisingly
Speaker 1: a person who hates Trump with every fiber of his being,
Speaker 1: who has seen the reality that Biden is too old,
Speaker 1: but we'll still vote for him because he ain't Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: Comedian Bill Maher was one of the very few on
Speaker 1: the left to actually point out that last week was
Speaker 1: not as good as left He's thought it was. For
Speaker 1: all of the salacious and silly information that they got,
Speaker 1: it didn't actually move the ball forward on the paperwork case.
Speaker 10: Say it's not a me two cake, it is not
Speaker 10: a me two king.
Speaker 11: I mean, I wasn't assaulted. I wasn't attacked or raped
Speaker 11: or coerce or black melt.
Speaker 1: They tried to.
Speaker 11: Shove me in the me two box of further their
Speaker 11: own agenda, and first of all. I didn't want any
Speaker 11: part of that because it's not the truth and I'm
Speaker 11: not a victim in that regard.
Speaker 10: That's not what she's saying. No, she's talking about he
Speaker 10: was bigger and blocking the way. It's all the me
Speaker 10: too buzzwords. She said, Uh, there was a power imbalance
Speaker 10: of power for sure. My hands were shaking so hard,
Speaker 10: she said, she blacked out, blacked out. She's a porn star.
Speaker 1: So that's the point, is that the defense's ability to
Speaker 1: come back against her, so said wont hang on.
Speaker 2: She said this, She said that, she said this. Now
Speaker 2: she signed these, She sang this. She's sanging this. If
Speaker 2: you're sitting around in a jury, well, then it makes.
Speaker 1: You go yeah, probably like I walk what she had
Speaker 1: to say back to the pipework, because all of the
Speaker 1: piperwork stuff happened before Stormy Daniels too. What's the most
Speaker 1: recent thing you think about before you go into the
Speaker 1: jury room. Now, again, it's New York, they're most likely
Speaker 1: find him guilty, But if it was anywhere else, he'd
Speaker 1: be one hundred percent correct that the salacious stuff from
Speaker 1: Stormy Daniels in the past few days was very different
Speaker 1: than what she was saying this is after she'd apparently
Speaker 1: slipped with Trump after he became the president. And you
Speaker 1: can see that if the story gets changed when you're
Speaker 1: in a courtroom versus what you're willing to say when
Speaker 1: you're not under oath, it may well end up working
Speaker 1: in the former president's favor. Anyway, we'll all wait and
Speaker 1: see his former lawyer, Michael Cohen is going to be
Speaker 1: first up on Monday in the United States, and the
Speaker 1: media will of course go nuts. And one other thing,
Speaker 1: just about the overall coverage. If like me in Australia,
Speaker 1: you're sitting up in the middle of the night, you're
Speaker 1: watching how granular this thing goes, hour by hour, witness
Speaker 1: by witness. Every TV channel that's talking about this only
Speaker 1: talks to prosecutors to help interpret what's happening inside the courtroom.
Speaker 1: Now I understand that they all hate Trump, they all
Speaker 1: want him to be found guilty. They'd all love him
Speaker 1: to go to jarg because if he goes to jail,
Speaker 1: fingers cross, he doesn't become president. But you've got to
Speaker 1: have defense attorneys somewhere on television explaining what the potential
Speaker 1: response to the prosecution case is. Otherwise you're just getting
Speaker 1: a version of State TV with a whole bunch of
Speaker 1: people absolutely agree with what the prosecution, who of course
Speaker 1: represents the government in this case, the State of New
Speaker 1: York is saying. So I understand trumped arrangement syndrome means
Speaker 1: they think they should only cover it in one way.
Speaker 1: But justice is supposed to be blind, and therefore you're
Speaker 1: allowed to hear from defense analysts on television, not just
Speaker 1: the people who.
Speaker 2: Say he's guilty. He's always been guilty and today nothing changed.
Speaker 1: No sooks, no lefties, as I say this Sunday night,
Speaker 1: wherever you're happened to be, and let's help you decode
Speaker 1: the budget bs before it actually takes place. No sooks,
Speaker 1: no lefties. Happy Mother's Day. Love you guys.
Speaker 2: We'll see in a moment or two time here on
Speaker 2: all MO.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much for watching wherever you're happy to be.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get into it right now with none
Speaker 1: other than Nicole Flint, who is the Liberal endorsed candidate
Speaker 1: for the seat at Boothby and the best option at
Speaker 1: the next election if you're voting in that seat.
Speaker 2: Love you to see you, my friend.
Speaker 4: Great to see you too.
Speaker 1: James Ashby the best option on the ballot in the
Speaker 1: seat of your boon at the upcoming Queensland election. Back
Speaker 1: him in if you're in that part of Australia. Love
Speaker 1: you to see you, sir.
Speaker 5: Good to see you till Paul. And Happy Mother's Day
Speaker 5: to my mum and my two grandmothers. That's val Nann.
Speaker 5: And a big thank you as well to all the
Speaker 5: mothers who've given up their time to look after my
Speaker 5: grandfather who's in Dubhouse in Caloundra. It'll be his last
Speaker 5: show tonight as well, Paul, you'll lose an audience member.
Speaker 5: I'm afraid, sorry, sorry, wonderful grandfather. Well, strength and love
Speaker 5: family ninety one, good years, good stuff.
Speaker 2: Good stuff.
Speaker 1: We'll strengthen li. I appreciate the support from him and
Speaker 1: the family in general. And Christy McSweeney well, she was
Speaker 1: absolutely the best option on the ballot paper last year
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty two elections. So we're can all go
Speaker 1: back in a time machine there in the meantime, you
Speaker 1: can go so they get out there at the pr Council.
Speaker 1: Love it to see you, my friend.
Speaker 4: Thank you for having me now, yes, exactly, now, I'm
Speaker 4: completely impartial.
Speaker 1: Yeah all right, So I've got to say I giggle
Speaker 1: every year in the lead up to the budget because
Speaker 1: I remember the types of people and when I first
Speaker 1: started doing.
Speaker 2: Them a little while ago.
Speaker 1: You know, when all the blankers get together and they
Speaker 1: all go, oh, it's like sitting at HS, so you
Speaker 1: get no, it's not. They all sit around, they're basically
Speaker 1: handed a whole bunch of press releases. Then they all
Speaker 1: go and copy each other's own work over seven hours,
Speaker 1: and then surprise, surprise, everyone comes.
Speaker 2: Out with tax Swim four.
Speaker 1: It's only after the normal people outside of the bubble
Speaker 1: get the chance to look at it and go hang
Speaker 1: on thirty five bucks a week, best case scenario at
Speaker 1: thirty five bucks a week, and then reality starts to
Speaker 1: set in. But I want a little bit of a
Speaker 1: BS guide here. Okay, James, what is a tip you'd
Speaker 1: like to give the good people watching right now about
Speaker 1: the type of BS bingo that we should be.
Speaker 2: Playing on Budget Night?
Speaker 1: Not just in the not just in the speech, but
Speaker 1: the coverage and the spin as well.
Speaker 7: Well.
Speaker 5: Sadly, when you go into a lock up, the Labor
Speaker 5: Party's talking points have already been delivered outside while you're
Speaker 5: locked away for several hours, you don't get to get
Speaker 5: out until I think it's around five five o'clock in
Speaker 5: the afternoon, so just before the Treasurer himself delivers his
Speaker 5: wonderful speech. Yes it's only a few days later, but
Speaker 5: the problem is the media have reported all the glossy
Speaker 5: good stuff and so it's hard then to cut through
Speaker 5: all that positive spin that the Labor Party just continue
Speaker 5: to dribble out every single day. Just is so good
Speaker 5: at delivering. They should be stalespeople. Peter Foster, eat your
Speaker 5: heart out. You should have been part of the Labor Party,
Speaker 5: not a con man on the Gold Coast.
Speaker 2: Nan Nicole.
Speaker 1: Again, you've seen plenty ones you've liked, ones you haven't liked.
Speaker 1: But still, again, what's the advice you have for normal
Speaker 1: people about Okay, when they're saying this, they really mean.
Speaker 2: That, Paul.
Speaker 12: The clearest message I can send to all of our
Speaker 12: viewers at home tonight is that don't you might as
Speaker 12: well just ignore whatever Labor is saying. What you need
Speaker 12: to think about is are you better off after this budget?
Speaker 12: And unfortunately the Australian people won't be so. As Shadow
Speaker 12: Treasurer Angus Taylor has been out saying, you know, all week,
Speaker 12: and particularly today, Labor's spending is growing faster than our economy,
Speaker 12: so things can't get better. Inflation won't come down, and
Speaker 12: cost of living won't come down, and certainly power prices
Speaker 12: won't come down, and they've ruled out a cut to
Speaker 12: fuel exercise.
Speaker 9: So I just.
Speaker 12: Encourage everyone at home, whatever you know, whatever spin comes
Speaker 12: out from Labor tomorrow and in the course of this week,
Speaker 12: just ask yourselves are you better off? And I note
Speaker 12: that I'm wearing Labor red tonight because labor has the
Speaker 12: budget and has the nation deeply in the reds, and
Speaker 12: we have to get rid of them.
Speaker 1: I'd also like someone somewhere right to start asking questions
Speaker 1: about off budget money. I like somebody somewhere to be
Speaker 1: able to start to come together and say this is
Speaker 1: how much because there's all the stuff they're going to
Speaker 1: report and put the documents on this, that and the other.
Speaker 1: But then there's like hundreds of billions of dollars that
Speaker 1: sit off to the side because it's infrastructure building. But
Speaker 1: guess what, it's all still borrowed money. It's just not
Speaker 1: money they have to own up to. But also, Christy,
Speaker 1: I just find infuriating when government turns around and says
Speaker 1: we are delivering a one hundred and eight billion dollar
Speaker 1: tax cut. Well, of course that's just the overall number
Speaker 1: times the next ten years. The reality is when they
Speaker 1: turn around and say you will be six hundred dollars
Speaker 1: a year better off, divided by twelve to get the months,
Speaker 1: divide by fifty two to work out the weeks, and
Speaker 1: then you'll go what.
Speaker 4: Look, the governments will say cost of living relief, and
Speaker 4: they've flagged that there are cost of living relief. The
Speaker 4: truth of that is read targeted. So if you're a
Speaker 4: punter sitting at home and you're hearing the government saying
Speaker 4: we're going to help you pay your bills, we're economic
Speaker 4: managers better than the last people that we're in. We
Speaker 4: are managing the economy. We are going to help Australians
Speaker 4: through this cost of living crisis. That means only a
Speaker 4: very very small percentage of people are going to get
Speaker 4: about ten to fifteen dollars a week extra. A lot
Speaker 4: of these are loaded into policy areas where the government
Speaker 4: feels that they have got a firm ground to stand
Speaker 4: on against the opposition. We're going to see a lot
Speaker 4: of these targeted reliefs moved into things like childcare policy,
Speaker 4: so not everybody out there is going to get anything
Speaker 4: at all or any help whatsoever paying their bills.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean just the petrol thing, right, I mean
Speaker 1: I bang on about it all the time because I
Speaker 1: just think it is a multifaceted tax that people pay.
Speaker 1: And obviously the more you travel, the more fuel, the
Speaker 1: more you pay. But I mean literally the person living
Speaker 1: in their car pays this tax all right, all the
Speaker 1: way through to the person who's using it for commercial reasons. James,
Speaker 1: why are they so pickheaded in not making this decision?
Speaker 1: Because to me, the politics is pretty obvious right where
Speaker 1: you can say to the widest number of people.
Speaker 2: Here is the win, is it?
Speaker 1: Because if they've got a ten fifteen bidding dollar surplus,
Speaker 1: that they need the fuel taxes to get to a surplus.
Speaker 1: And that's why they're not doing it, because to me,
Speaker 1: it seems absolutely politically stupid not to deliver something that
Speaker 1: everyone would benefit from.
Speaker 5: Well, if they did discount it the way that Scott
Speaker 5: Morrison and the Coalition did those years ago, they would
Speaker 5: effectively lose about twelve billion dollars a year if they
Speaker 5: took twenty two cents off a liter. So it's about
Speaker 5: a billion dollars a year, a month that they'll sacrifice. Now,
Speaker 5: the problem is, though these governments have a spending issue,
Speaker 5: they don't have a revenue collection issue, because on average,
Speaker 5: across this country, all governments collectively collect two billion dollars
Speaker 5: worth of taxes every single day, three hundred and sixty
Speaker 5: five days a year, two billion dollars a single day. Now,
Speaker 5: where's that money going, Well, it's been sent overseas. Look
Speaker 5: at Ukraine. We've given nine hundred and sixty million dollars
Speaker 5: to Ukraine. We've given millions of dollars towards this new scheme.
Speaker 5: They're paying super for those people within the public service
Speaker 5: who take time off to go and have kids. You know,
Speaker 5: there's another six hundred million dollars everything we do, everything,
Speaker 5: we hand money over to p ANDNG. We want to
Speaker 5: go and build the new stadiums over there for their
Speaker 5: football teams, and it's just the money isn't being spent correctly.
Speaker 5: So we don't have a revenue problem in this country.
Speaker 5: We've got a spending problem. And if we get that
Speaker 5: spending paired back, we can actually cut the taxes that
Speaker 5: we are charging. Every single person in this country. And
Speaker 5: you know the cost of living matter if you have
Speaker 5: a look at the way that food prices are going.
Speaker 5: I was talking to JBS Meats here at Beef Week
Speaker 5: last week. Do you know meat prices? They say, the
Speaker 5: supermarket meat prices is so high, yet that cattle prices
Speaker 5: come down. The problem is JBS in one of their avatars,
Speaker 5: is playing eighty thousand dollars a day for power and water. Wow,
Speaker 5: that's where all these costs are coming from, Paul. It's extraordinary.
Speaker 5: The governments are just squeezing the life out of businesses
Speaker 5: who then pass that on to the end consumer. We're
Speaker 5: all paying for it. So your little heeadly little tax
Speaker 5: break you claim you're going to give us is going
Speaker 5: to go nowhere.
Speaker 2: It's a very very good point, now, Nicole.
Speaker 1: This new form of polling which doesn't necessarily say how
Speaker 1: would you vote at the next election? Instead it sort
Speaker 1: of tries to get inside the head of people about
Speaker 1: has your attitude change on the government. Is there a
Speaker 1: sense of buyers remorse?
Speaker 2: Where is it going?
Speaker 1: It claims that about twenty seven percent of labor voters
Speaker 1: who voted for them at the last election wouldn't vote
Speaker 1: the next now that vote has been replaced by some others.
Speaker 1: So essentially the primary is just a little lower than
Speaker 1: where it was now. But that's a big churn in
Speaker 1: a first term government. Obviously as a person who would
Speaker 1: like to see some of that to be true for
Speaker 1: you to be returned to the Parliament, But more importantly
Speaker 1: about government get rolled over. Do you get any sense
Speaker 1: of that? Not necessarily, buyers remorse, but they've had their chance,
Speaker 1: and we don't care if it's three years. There is
Speaker 1: a percentage of people that are willing to go backle.
Speaker 12: As we always say, the only poll that actually matters
Speaker 12: is the one on election day, whenever that may be.
Speaker 12: Let's assume March twenty twenty five. But what is not
Speaker 12: changing is that Labour's primary vote is disastrously bad. So
Speaker 12: I think the key message here, regardless of how the
Speaker 12: numbers might move around from pole to pole, is that
Speaker 12: a vote for the Greens as a vote for Labor
Speaker 12: and really sort of vice versa.
Speaker 4: So I just I really encourage viewers.
Speaker 12: If they have any family members, because I know none
Speaker 12: of our viewers would ever ever flirt with voting Labor,
Speaker 12: let alone the Greens.
Speaker 10: But if they have family members.
Speaker 2: Who might be fish watch r all counts in the ratings.
Speaker 2: I don't care, but.
Speaker 12: Sure, sure, sure, well yeah, but I'm sure that's probably
Speaker 12: a small number. They're just keeping an eye on what
Speaker 12: they think.
Speaker 5: We're up to.
Speaker 9: A vote.
Speaker 12: What the critical thing when it comes to Labour's vote
Speaker 12: being so disastrously low and the fact that they keep
Speaker 12: over the line and forming government and we just saw
Speaker 12: it here in South of Stradia with the Dunstan by election,
Speaker 12: is that a vote for the Greens as a vote
Speaker 12: for Labor. So people need to be very careful about
Speaker 12: where where they're not our wonderful viewers, but friends and
Speaker 12: family who might be flirting with doing that are putting
Speaker 12: their vote, and please persuade them not to.
Speaker 1: Christy, do you get a sense that the people who
Speaker 1: have tuned out of the government are being replaced by
Speaker 1: people that are impressed by the government, or they're people
Speaker 1: that are just moving into the great pile of undecided,
Speaker 1: because if they're undecided, then they're up for grabs. We've
Speaker 1: seen statistically how one nation has been improving on plenty
Speaker 1: of national polls. So it's not that it's all about
Speaker 1: teal voting you.
Speaker 4: No, it's not it's certainly a drift to minor parties,
Speaker 4: and a huge load of minor parties as well. What's
Speaker 4: interesting here is that this is a huge sample. It's
Speaker 4: a pole of two thousand people. Now, if we compare
Speaker 4: that to a news pole, News polls fifteen hundred, so
Speaker 4: the news polls the gold standard, this is even bigger.
Speaker 4: Twenty seven percent of people have decided to change their
Speaker 4: vote against the government. However, eight percent of those are
Speaker 4: going Coalition and eight percent to the Greeds. And herein
Speaker 4: lies the rup The government is desperate to avoid minority government. Now,
Speaker 4: with eight percent of those voters going across to the Greens,
Speaker 4: we're about to see a fracturing of the Labor Greens preferences,
Speaker 4: particularly here in Melbourne seats like McNamara almost twenty nine
Speaker 4: percent Green, twenty nine percent Labor and the Liberals poll
Speaker 4: twenty nine percent two it's only Green's preferences that helped
Speaker 4: Labor win that seat. And there's a couple of others
Speaker 4: seats like Wills here in Melbourne as well, where the
Speaker 4: minor party vote polls about seven eight percent. That's two
Speaker 4: socialist parties, United Australia, Animal Justice, a whole range of them.
Speaker 4: So people moving away away from the government isn't necessarily
Speaker 4: going to benefit the coalition, but it's going to see
Speaker 4: this fracturing of labor and the grades. Those labor seats
Speaker 4: are up for grabs, and the grades have them in
Speaker 4: their sights.
Speaker 1: James, you've been around for a while. I say that
Speaker 1: as a compliment, which means you've seen middle of term before.
Speaker 1: You've seen people come and say, oh, mate, I'm all
Speaker 1: in on you, guys, I'm ready to jump, I'm all in,
Speaker 1: and then it sort of returns to form. Are you
Speaker 1: seeing anything that feels different than the previous times that
Speaker 1: people have come up to you as an obvious part
Speaker 1: of one nation in particular, to say, mate, I'm all
Speaker 1: in on you. Do you see something different?
Speaker 5: I think the biggest issue at the moment with a
Speaker 5: lot of voters out there is they don't see much
Speaker 5: faith in the two major parties. Nicole will probably disagree
Speaker 5: with me on this, and I'm happy for her to
Speaker 5: do it, but look, this is just feedback that I
Speaker 5: get from people who were previously coalition voters. They don't
Speaker 5: know what the coalition honestly stands for. There's turmoil here
Speaker 5: in Queensland with them.
Speaker 2: They don't.
Speaker 5: You know, there's left factions and right factions in every party.
Speaker 5: I get that, but to see what the Coalition have
Speaker 5: moved away from their conservative roots in a lot of ways,
Speaker 5: like here in Queensland, for example, they voted for treaty.
Speaker 5: Now that's not what the Coalition have previously stood for,
Speaker 5: but they actively voted for it. And they actively voted
Speaker 5: just last month to lock in net zero as a
Speaker 5: legislative measure here in Queensland, again not typically what the
Speaker 5: Coalition will do. So there are a lot of Conservative
Speaker 5: voters that are saying, guys, you're planning small target in
Speaker 5: this state. You're passing legislation with labor that goes against
Speaker 5: the grain of what farmers want, what the average person
Speaker 5: or regional Queensland wants. And we've had a gupful of
Speaker 5: you because you're deceitful to our face. You tell us
Speaker 5: one thing and when you get on the floor of
Speaker 5: Parliament you do the opposite. So that's why a lot
Speaker 5: of people are migrating across the minor parties like one Nation.
Speaker 1: All right, Nicole, you may respond, but after the break,
Speaker 1: because we people to support the businesses that support us
Speaker 1: so we can keep the lights on it as we
Speaker 1: know that costs more and more under this mod each
Speaker 1: and every day. See it all, I'm more than to see.
Speaker 1: How could I have sent you to the wrong website
Speaker 1: for Humpty Dumpty and the Humpty Dumpty Foundation for Mother's
Speaker 1: Date is Humpty.
Speaker 2: Dot org DoD a you. I'm so sorry to Paul
Speaker 2: Francis and the whole team. I love you guys very much.
Speaker 1: It is Humpty dot org dot au. Please don't not
Speaker 1: what you can because the gear saves lives and on
Speaker 1: Mother's Day it's a beautiful, extra little gift.
Speaker 2: That I have no doubt.
Speaker 1: I will not mind that you're a day late with
Speaker 1: Humpty dot org do A you all right here? With
Speaker 1: of course, so James Ashby, with Christie McSweeney and with
Speaker 1: Nicole Flint. Nicole give me the thirty second response to
Speaker 1: our chat just prior to the break where the Liberal
Speaker 1: Party doesn't stand for anything anymore according to James.
Speaker 12: Well, look, I'll leave Queensland state politics to James, but
Speaker 12: I do note my dear friend and our dear friend
Speaker 12: here at sky Amanda Stoka is running for a state seat.
Speaker 12: There is no stronger more principled woman and candidate than
Speaker 12: Amanda Stoker and also Peter Dutton. And I know we've
Speaker 12: got a lot of liberal voters coming back to us
Speaker 12: because Peter is incredibly strong and principled and people know
Speaker 12: that he will be a strong leader who keeps us
Speaker 12: safe and gets the economy back on track.
Speaker 1: There is an endless fight about housing and about what
Speaker 1: type of housing needs to be built. Particularly obviously units
Speaker 1: is really going to be the fashion of how we're
Speaker 1: going to get to where we need to go because
Speaker 1: of the endless Ponzi scream of population. But there's a
Speaker 1: specific complaint which has been launched up in Sydney which
Speaker 1: is really interesting to me, which is most units aren't
Speaker 1: big enough for families. One bedroom, two bedroom may be
Speaker 1: stretched to three, but you go anything more than that
Speaker 1: then you basically have to buy the penthouse. Christy, I
Speaker 1: think this is an excellent point as we talk about
Speaker 1: the need for more housing, is that the housing has
Speaker 1: to be big enough for people who are singles or
Speaker 1: couples with multiple children.
Speaker 4: Yes, of course, and this is all bound up in
Speaker 4: who has decision making power of planning laws. State governments
Speaker 4: set the size of apartments, but then say, for example,
Speaker 4: the city of Sydney can come in and say, well,
Speaker 4: if you put in ev charges or bike racks, or
Speaker 4: you allow go get or car share, car share, car base,
Speaker 4: we'll give you extra concessions on the size of apartments
Speaker 4: and the area that you build. And so there's all
Speaker 4: these sorts of things. There's not only a debate of
Speaker 4: how big these houses have to be or these units
Speaker 4: or apartments, but where And they're not big enough for
Speaker 4: families at all. And if we want people to live
Speaker 4: in these affordable and social housing that governments are seeking
Speaker 4: to build, although who knows when the states and the
Speaker 4: federal government are ever going to come to an agreement
Speaker 4: on how that's going to work. Apparently that's in the budget.
Speaker 4: We're reducing cost of living burden on renders by building
Speaker 4: more housing, which is the same agreement we're struck with
Speaker 4: the States last year that still hasn't started. So it
Speaker 4: is a really really difficult policy area. But no, they're
Speaker 4: not big enough, not big enough at all.
Speaker 9: All.
Speaker 1: Right, let's get to a bold prediction, James Ashby, what's
Speaker 1: definitely happening this week.
Speaker 5: Oh, we're not going to get any promises of power
Speaker 5: cuts that's for sure. On this budget, that's not going
Speaker 5: to happen. Look, it's going to be another tedious, long
Speaker 5: week full of lies spin. But by next weekend, I'm
Speaker 5: sure the truth will start to come out about this.
Speaker 1: Budget well, and it will start nine nine thirty Budget
Speaker 1: Night right here on pul Murray Live.
Speaker 2: Nicole flnd your bold prediction.
Speaker 12: Oh look, I don't think we'll see anything announced that
Speaker 12: will bring cost of living pressures for individuals, households, families
Speaker 12: and particularly small businesses down. And I don't think it
Speaker 12: will have any impact on getting inflation under control either.
Speaker 4: Christy oscar season for political talks, except there's not much
Speaker 4: in the gift bags poll this year. If you're in
Speaker 4: the green energy lobby, you're going to be very happy.
Speaker 4: If you're anybody else, probably not.
Speaker 1: That's one red carpet I'm more than happy to avoid.
Speaker 1: Thank you guys, do appreciate it all one, and I'll
Speaker 1: do appreciate I took to your leg in very soon
Speaker 1: oright quick break back with more, looking forward to the
Speaker 1: Royal Report in a couple of minutes time. Lots of
Speaker 1: big issues to deal with them, Caroline up in a
Speaker 1: moment or two time that's our show for tonight, one
Speaker 1: more time, Happy Mother's Day, lovey, and we'll see you tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Night
