WEBVTT - Paul Murray Live | 12 May 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:02.040 From the Skying Center. 0:00:02.480 --> 0:00:07.280 This is Paul Murray Live. Hello everyone. 0:00:07.280 --> 0:00:09.360 Hopefully you've had a wonderful weekend, Happy Mother's Day. 0:00:09.400 --> 0:00:11.200 More details about that in the moment, but I hope 0:00:11.200 --> 0:00:13.840 everyone got spoiled. If not three hours left on the 0:00:13.840 --> 0:00:14.640 East coast. 0:00:14.360 --> 0:00:18.360 To get something from macus, I don't know now. One 0:00:18.360 --> 0:00:21.160 thing that, of course was beautiful to see. Well a 0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:23.320 lot of people couldn't because of rain in big parts 0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:24.759 of the country. But if you were lucky enough to 0:00:24.760 --> 0:00:28.360 be able to see the Aurora Australis well you've been 0:00:28.360 --> 0:00:31.120 able to have the photo of a lifetime. This is 0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:34.480 a something that came from Tasmania where it was absolutely 0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:37.319 spectacular last night. I believe a little further up north 0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:39.080 in the country it'll be better tonight. If you've got 0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:41.000 photo send them to me, Paul. That's got on news 0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:43.280 dot com dot Au. This is the view from Victoria 0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:47.920 as well, absolutely stunning. The lighthouse stuff just a special 0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:53.080 expression of what mother nature can produce every now and 0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:55.440 then in Kangaroo Island in Queensland as well. 0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:57.400 You name mom. All the photos are there now. 0:00:57.440 --> 0:00:59.920 Like a lot of people, I have been enjoying the 0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:03.480 photos and going jeez, that's pretty amazing. So what actually 0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:07.840 is going on that produced such beautiful skylines over the 0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:08.759 past couple of nights. 0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:14.760 The phenomenon occurs when electrically charged particles from solar winds 0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:18.960 enter the Earth's atmosphere and interact with gases. The event 0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:22.080 hits the entire planet at the same time, but the 0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:25.320 tilt of the Earth at your location and the weather 0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:29.360 conditions will determine just what types of colors and movement 0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:30.319 you see. 0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:32.560 I definitely knew that. 0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:35.000 Thank you, Nikola. If you've got those great photos, keep 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:37.679 them coming through. Paulittsgews dot com dot au. So okay, 0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:40.520 Mother's Day for obvious reasons. To all of the beautiful 0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:42.880 mothers in my life, Thank you so much. To my 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:48.640 beautiful mum, Jude Judith Is she's officially known, of course, 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:51.840 who taught me about the values that I've put together 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:54.240 in my life, the work, ethic, all the rest of it. 0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:57.280 I love her very much and she's always so supportive 0:01:57.320 --> 0:02:00.680 of what I do. Her husband Wayne as well. To 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:05.320 my beautiful wife Shan. This is the greatest job I 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:08.440 will ever have. It truly is the greatest job, and 0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:10.200 it's the job I dreamed of and it's the job 0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:13.040 that I hopefully will be here for a long time 0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:15.680 to do, but it does come at a cost to 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:17.960 our family. I don't get to tuck the kids in 0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:19.480 at night, and I'm not much of a chat in 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:23.359 the mornings. And may I just say publicly what many 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:26.760 a dad has probably written in a card, But to 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:29.680 the mums who take on all that extra because of 0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:33.560 the job that dad does, thank you specifically to my wife. 0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:36.200 Of course, our kids are amazing and it's. 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:38.840 All because of her. All the bad stuff. 0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:41.880 Dad and his poonch on for let's watch fail videos 0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:45.239 kids not the greatest way to bring up future awesome 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:47.840 little Australians, but my wife balances it all out and 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:49.160 I love us so much. So all the best to 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:50.919 all the mums that are watching us, all the mums 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:54.040 around the country who are so wonderfully loyal to this program. 0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:55.880 Now in. 0:02:57.200 --> 0:03:01.640 Forbes today, there was a gathering of people who decided 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:04.800 to honor a mum who is no longer here, a 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:08.120 mother who, of course was murdered. Now as we know, 0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:10.560 Molly was murdered a couple of weeks ago. The person 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:14.440 police believed responsible for that, what we now say is 0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:17.200 alleged crime is of course currently behind bars. But there's 0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:20.040 the whole conversation about bail and all of that that's 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:21.799 happened before. But I want to say thank you to 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:24.720 the people of Forbes because they use their mother's day 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:27.400 to go for a walk, and they did so in 0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:31.040 their hundreds, and they did so specifically to keep Molly's 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:33.720 name in the headlines and it worked. This thing was 0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:36.280 covered all over the news today and well, Doneder, every 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:38.320 person who took part of that in Forbes, they did 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:42.280 exactly the right thing. And the family spokesperson says these 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:46.400 events are necessary to keep visible Molly's name and the 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:49.760 demand that what failed her does not fail other women. 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:55.040 Magistrates really really need to think of the victims instead 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:59.280 of the perpetrators, and we just need to keep their 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:01.000 names alive because. 0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:03.160 If we'd be quiet, they'll stop listening. 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:04.240 Now. 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:06.640 Of course, there was an opportunity for our government to 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:11.040 take what happened to Molly seriously, to follow what the 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:14.120 people of Forbes were walking for today and what common 0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:17.359 sense made very clear. When National Cabinet meant to discuss 0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:20.360 domestic violence, they should have really only concluded one urgent 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:23.560 and automatic thing. And by the way, remember those five 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:26.359 thousand dollars payments. Well I've read some fine print on those. 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:28.679 That was the big headline that came out of that meeting. 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:31.440 Well those don't kick in until not this but next 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:35.880 financial year, like fifteen months away. So what should have 0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:38.520 happened was that, just like when John Howard after Port Arthur, 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:41.040 you get all the states together, you find one piece 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:41.760 of legislation. 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:43.280 You can make it one page long, and. 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:46.080 All it says is that if somebody has form, they 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:52.760 have zero none duck egg, bugger raw chance of bail. Now, 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:55.479 sadly that didn't happen at the federal level, but it 0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:56.440 is happening. 0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:58.159 In Molly's home state of New South Wales. 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:01.039 I want to commend the Men's government, who tomorrow will 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:05.599 announce in greater detail just that the idea that bail 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:10.440 will now not be available to low lives who have 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:15.840 committed domestic violence offenses in the past. Chris Means will 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:18.359 make the announcement formally and properly tomorrow, but I just 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:19.880 wanted to say well done to the News and Welds 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:23.120 government for actually doing so and putting that law in place, 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:26.240 and just finally you know that there's a cause that 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:28.200 I care about deeply, and that is making sure that 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:30.479 sick little bubbers are able to make it through their 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:32.920 first few days on this planet. 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:33.520 Now. 0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:36.799 Sadly, for that to happen, in many places around the country, 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:42.720 they need equipment donated to the kid's version of intensive care. 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:46.400 The charity that does that is the Humpty Dumpty Foundation, 0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:48.320 And as you know, last year we got together and 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:50.800 we raised an awful lot of money for the good 0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:53.440 people of Mildura to make sure that they would be 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:56.480 able to have parents and kids who could stay together 0:05:56.640 --> 0:05:59.160 in that area to make it through the first few days. 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:01.480 If something got more serious, yes they'd go somewhere else. 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:05.680 But more equipment in more locations means that more babies 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:08.839 will survive. That's deeply important to me for the obvious 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:12.520 reasons about the loss of our little man Leo way 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:14.359 too many years ago. But of course it feels like 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:17.839 just thirty seconds ago. So tonight for Mother's Day again, 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:20.600 maybe you have forgotten the gift, or maybe you think 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:23.000 the gift that you ended up unwrapping today wasn't that amazing. Well, 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:24.560 you know what you could do if you do have 0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:27.279 any loose money around and I get it. It's tough, 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:29.839 but please go to Humpy Dumpty dot org dot au, 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:32.840 Humpty dumpty dot org dot au, because tonight they are 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:38.120 running a fundraiser to make sure that mums around the 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:41.520 country will have more medical equipment to take care of 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:44.000 what they need to keep the little people alive so 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:46.479 they become the future of our country. Please Humpty dumpty 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:50.159 dot org dot au. Big beautiful cause, big beautiful people, 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:52.120 and I love them very much. Now, by the way, 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:54.320 across this weekend, your gift is going to be matched 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:56.520 dollar for dollar by all the people who are the 0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:59.480 corporate supporters. All of it is tax deductible over the age, 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:02.440 over the over the amount of two dollars. So please 0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:04.479 do your bit for them if you can. I know 0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:06.760 I ask you so often for help with things, but 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:10.000 this audience reacts so beautifully all the time. Humpty Dumpty 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:12.680 dot org dot au is the way to get in 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:17.440 touch with the Humpty Dumpty Foundation. Now there's going to 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:19.800 be a fire hose of bs that is going to 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:22.600 be coming our way from Canberra, even more so than 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:25.480 usual because the federal budget is just but a couple 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:29.040 of sleeps away. I know who cares, but the reality 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:32.000 is that it is being printed. It has been printed. 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:34.119 It is in the position of all of the people 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:37.680 in Parliament House who needed it'll be formally released to 0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:39.560 a whole bunch of reporters that get locked up so 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:41.760 they get their government spin and they all come out 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:44.080 and funnily enough say exactly the thing. 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:47.240 Thankfully. We will be watching it in real time. 0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:49.080 We'll learn about the budget, go inside and out for 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:52.520 you a nine thirty in a ninety minute special edition 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:54.440 of poul Marie Live on Tuesday night. I'll pull it 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:55.800 apart for you. I'll tell the five things that you 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:57.760 need to know. We'll call out the bs, we'll see 0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:01.520 the games that are being played. Every treasurer loves the 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:04.520 budget because it really is their moment in the sun 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:07.080 as a way of sort of reminding us that there 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:09.280 are other people than the Prime Minister who could run 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:12.160 the country. And Jim Chalmers was out there with all 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:15.000 the family photos off here. I am just naturally picking 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:18.400 up some flowers for flower Mother's Day. A few days 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:21.520 ago there was photographers brought into the family home. Because 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:24.560 I'm not dad, just like you, and again, unlike the Left, 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:26.600 I'm not going to be a nasty bugger. Of course 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:28.280 he loves his kids. Of course he loves his family. 0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:30.200 Of course he loves his wife. But that has been 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:34.960 the pre budget look at me going into the budget. 0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:39.120 But of course at the heart of this budget is 0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:40.800 going to be a failure to deliver on what they 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:42.640 promise to live on, and that is to actually do 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:45.000 something about cost of living. Yet it doesn't stop them 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:48.640 saying it in all of the pre hype interviews, any 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:50.520 of which took place on all the different types of 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:55.120 TV stations, Sunday News shows, Oh, there's definitely going to 0:08:55.160 --> 0:09:00.240 be help when it comes to cost of living. 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:03.280 Really is the biggest priority in the budget. We know 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:05.559 that you're under the pump, we know you're under pressure, 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:08.600 and we're trying to help where we can in the 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:10.720 most responsible way. 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:12.720 You know, we've done this for months, we've done it 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:15.680 for years. We know that that's not true. Now, yes, 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:18.680 this budget will formally put in place the changes to 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:21.520 the Stage three tax cards, which remember, if you're needing 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:23.800 just forty five thousand dollars, it's fifteen bucks a week, 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:26.079 and even the best spin that everyone can put on 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:28.320 the numbers. If this moves this way and this moves 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:32.079 that way, it's going to be what thirty nine dollars 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:36.199 a week in extra help. Now that extra help is, 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:38.440 of course, not money that the government produces. They just 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:40.800 turn around and say things like you'll be able to 0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:44.840 keep thirty nine dollars a week now. Yes, when you 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:46.800 add it all up together, you can push it as 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:48.720 close to two thousand dollars as you want, but that's 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:51.240 not how the system works. Of course, when you pay 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:53.720 your tax, you pay it weekly, fortnightly, monthly, whatever your 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:55.880 pay cycle is, so you're. 0:09:55.679 --> 0:09:57.200 Not going to notice that change. 0:09:57.600 --> 0:09:59.880 But I'm going to say well done to one group 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:03.280 in the media who didn't just let Jim Charmers get 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:05.640 away with just the sales job. The look at me, 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:08.040 I'm so good, I'm the guy next door. I could 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:11.080 be your future prime in all of that rubbish, and 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:12.440 it was SBS. 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:13.360 Now. 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:15.840 SBS actually did a report a couple of days ago 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:19.319 about just how many people are struggling in the Queens 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:21.920 and town of Gladston that, of course, we've done ourtown 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:23.360 in not that long ago. 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:25.920 And Ana Henderson, who. 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:29.880 Works for SBS, decided to play to the treasurer some 0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:32.960 of the things that had been in that report. 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:35.720 Now this is part of it, and it is a 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:37.199 bloke who. 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:41.840 Now lives in a car near the river because his 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:45.880 rent went up to high and he just could not 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:46.480 afford it. 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:48.560 Here he is and this was what was shown to 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:49.160 the Treasurer. 0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:53.520 The rent's gone from one hundred and eighty dollars a 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:57.640 week to three hundred and twenty. Yeah, that doesn't sound 0:10:57.679 --> 0:11:01.880 like much, but three hundred and twenty is pretty much 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:06.120 my ceiling. People need to be able to breathe and 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:10.240 think about more than just budgeting for every tiny little thing. 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:14.760 So the Treasurer was shown what that bloke is going through. 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:16.640 It's an example of the person we've talked about so 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:19.200 many times for the most obvious of reasons, because not 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:22.439 only do we care, but we also have to make 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:24.400 sure that we send the message to the people who 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:27.239 are watching us right now and their taxpath under accommodation 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:29.600 in Canberra. You've got to do something about it. You 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:31.720 don't just yap about it. You've got to do something 0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:35.040 about it now. The Treasurer's response to that piece of 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:37.680 footage was, of course, to point to the billions of 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:39.920 dollars which we'll go into social housing over the next 0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:42.680 ten years, but that bloke's living by a river tonight. 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:47.319 But it was the following comments which to me he 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:50.400 showed how the treasure has no interest in actually doing 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:54.240 something because he may well have been shown a video 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:57.520 of a classic car somebody was fixing up. There was 0:11:57.520 --> 0:11:59.800 no emotional response. This, in fact is what he said. 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:02.960 We would. 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:07.520 Need to always do better, and we can do better. 0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:11.000 There will be billions of dollars in relief and assistance 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:13.760 for people who are under the pump, in addition to a. 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:17.319 Tax cut for every taxpayer. That's it just sell. 0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:21.240 I understand, I'm going to call that bloke. I'm going 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:23.440 to work out what we could none of that. It 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:25.760 just was an inconvenient little bump on the road of 0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:28.520 self promotion in the lead up to a budget which 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:29.400 will of course. 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:30.480 Make everything look rosy. 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:35.160 Everything that they give to you is of course largely 0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:44.520 done either with borrowed money or with higher taxation. But 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:47.160 again the details about the number of people who are 0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:49.720 looking to something from the government, who will get nothing 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:52.720 from the government and will not wake up any better. 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:55.480 Now they'll say, oh, there's a tax cut, there's thirty 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:58.360 nine bucks a week. Now, I understand when you're looking 0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:00.840 at that across the Australian population, it's billions and billions 0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:02.840 of dollars. But you've got to divide it by the 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:04.640 number of people that are working and divide that by 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:07.480 fifty two weeks and you actually see how little it is. 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:10.760 So while everyone will focus on the big number, I'm 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:12.560 going to focus on the number that you will be 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:14.640 doing in your head to work out whether anything has 0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:17.600 actually happened, whether the needle has moved at all, and 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:20.920 people need it. My bomb Shaw buddy Liz Tilly, riding 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:23.520 in the Quoimr today talks about how there's a million 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:26.040 people in Queens and a million house olds in Queensand 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:29.960 that are in financial stress. Now, I've also been banging 0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:31.880 on for some time that this government is in a 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:35.240 position to cut petrol taxes. It it costs the exact 0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:37.839 same money. About the changes they've made to make sure 0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:40.360 that some people won't have to pay slightly higher UNI fees. 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:44.800 Three billion bucks, he's going to have a surplus. And remember, 0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:48.120 if the surface is anything over three billion dollars, then 0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:49.240 he's got the room to move. 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:50.800 But he won't move. 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:54.200 In fact, he's even telling us on television he won't 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:58.360 move on a tax that his government doubled since they 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:01.199 came to office and now is four forty nine cents 0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:02.200 per litter. 0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:05.800 You know, we think there are other ways to provide 0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:08.240 that cost of living help. And we've got one hundred 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:11.680 and seven billion dollars in tax cuts flowing in the 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:16.640 coming years from July are already and that will provide 0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:19.240 that average tax cut of thirty six dollars a week 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:21.720 in addition to the other cost of living help that 0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:22.680 we are providing. 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:29.960 No, no, honestly, think about the bloke living by the 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:33.280 river right now, the bloke living by the river in 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:36.400 his car. If he uses his car, he needs to 0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:40.160 pay for it with petrol. The family that are dropping 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:44.120 their kids off at childcare, the bloke who's driving the van, 0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:46.800 the woman who is going from job to job to 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:50.760 job as a hairdresser. They all use their cars. This 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:55.880 is an opportunity to lessen the pressure, but for some 0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:58.480 pig headed reason, they won't do it. And perhaps it's 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:02.440 because it is the source of revenue to them. It's 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:05.720 billions of dollars of revenue to them. And if you're 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:08.720 actually honest about the upcoming budget, and it's apparent surplus. 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:13.840 You can bring it down to petrol taxes, alcohol taxes. 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:14.960 Cigarette taxes. 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:18.080 All of that takes you way past twenty billion dollars 0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:20.640 in revenue. So without that we would be in deficit, 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:24.160 which is why he won't cut it. So despite the 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:25.720 fact that they will bang on about it and talk 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:29.520 all the time constantly about the cost of living and 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:30.360 the focus. 0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:31.000 Of it and the reason why. 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:33.400 The reality is they could pull a lever, but they 0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:36.680 choose not to because it helps them have a budget surplus, 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:38.720 which gives them the opportunity to go to an election 0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:41.800 and say, how good are we Interesting Pole Today's found 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:46.280 that seventy seven seventy seven percent of voters don't think 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:48.240 that the federal budget will deliver on cost of living 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:51.920 at all. So they want to have it both ways. 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:53.400 They want to talk it up like they're doing it 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:55.120 because I'm the guy next door in the flowers and 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:58.080 the family and all that stuff. But when he's actually 0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:00.200 in a position to do something that would help the 0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:02.400 person who's living in their car or the guy who's 0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:05.160 homeless and sleeps in his car by the river, he 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:08.560 won't do it because they need the gold star of 0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:12.080 a surplus rather than actually doing anything to help people 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:18.200 like that bloke. Extra meantime, more poles are bad news 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:20.440 for the Labor Party, particularly bad news for the Prime Minister, 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:23.280 seen here in his male model efforts in twenty twenty 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:26.120 two when he said I'm just as at home in 0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:30.280 a parb as i am in a boardroom. Please, twenty 0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:33.040 seven percent of Labor voters have apparently walked away from 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:36.880 the Labor Party since the last election. Now, if that 0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:40.720 actually bears out at an election, then obviously you're talking 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:43.520 about a potential change of government, not just minority government. 0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:45.160 Which is where it is going to go most likely. 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:48.440 The new poll shows that the federal government has lost 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:50.360 confidence of a large chunk of voters that carried it 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:52.440 into office. And remember only just they've got a two 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:56.320 seat majority in twenty two in a sign of a 0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:59.200 fickle electorate. No, it's a sign of an electorate that 0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:02.440 doesn't like being lied to, lied to by a blow 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:03.960 who promise he was going to do something about cost 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:05.800 of living, but it all gets worse and then they 0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:07.600 turn around and tell you that thirty six bucks a 0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:10.960 week for the average taxpayer is going to be enough 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:13.679 to change anyone's lives. It's all well and good if 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:15.760 you've got a car paid for by the taxpayer and 0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:19.399 a fuel card paid for by the taxpayer. Of course 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:23.760 the numbers eight percent have gone to the Greens, so 0:17:24.480 --> 0:17:27.160 the government's not left wing enough. Eight percent has gone 0:17:27.160 --> 0:17:32.440 to the coalition. Eight percent is now undecided. And remember 0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:35.359 in the undecideds in many other polls, they eventually start 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:37.680 breaking away from the government. Once you've broken up with them, 0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:40.000 it's very hard to win them back. We'll see whether 0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:43.480 the BS that comes out on Tuesday will actually achieve 0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:45.440 any of that. Three percent, by the way, has gone 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:48.280 off to small parties and one Nation yet again, looking 0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:50.359 at what we've talked about before, a little growth at 0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:52.879 the moment in one nation at the moment. It always 0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:55.919 seems to happen mid mid survey. But we'll see what 0:17:55.920 --> 0:17:58.280 happens when it comes to a full election. We'll talk 0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:00.920 to James Ashby and Hobby of others and the Nosoks 0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:03.680 no Lefties Mother's Day edition here. Meantime, the polling about 0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:08.320 the leaders themselves. Australians would rather have a beer or 0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:11.480 a meal with Anthony Albernezi, but Peter Dutton would be 0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:13.960 the person who'd be there to pick up to put 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:16.199 up a shelf. So if you want something done, Dutton, 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:19.280 if you just want to get the fields, you hang 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:23.240 out with Albow. In a more serious finding though inside 0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:27.159 this thing they spoke to two thousand voters and words 0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:31.200 like weak, liar and useless come up as the most 0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:35.520 frequent about the Prime minister. For Peter Dutton, it's strong, 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:40.920 but then arrogant, boring and untrustworthy. 0:18:41.840 --> 0:18:42.600 Now, there were some. 0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:45.359 Pretty nasty games that were played over the weekend around 0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:48.040 an issue which you and I can see as clearly 0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:50.560 as it is. But the federal government has now tried 0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:52.399 to put detail on the table to make sure that 0:18:52.440 --> 0:18:55.040 tomorrow they will not be asked questions about the failures 0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:58.120 of how they dealt with the people who were never refugees, 0:18:58.359 --> 0:19:00.280 who should have never stayed in the country, but they 0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:05.040 stayed in the country because they were constantly appealing inside 0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:08.320 the system. Many of these people had serious criminal records 0:19:09.119 --> 0:19:10.840 and were not supposed to be back out on the street, 0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:12.320 but they ended up back out on the street because 0:19:12.320 --> 0:19:14.720 the High Court ruled that somebody was a previous sex 0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:17.400 offender had a right to not be indefinitely detained. 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:18.119 You know the story. 0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:21.239 You also know that the most egregious example of this 0:19:22.119 --> 0:19:24.439
