Speaker 1: From the Skying Center. This is Paul Murray life. Thank you,
Speaker 1: Sherry and everyone else before us.
Speaker 2: I hope they enjoy the break. We are not done
Speaker 2: for the year. We're going another show coming up on
Speaker 2: Sunday night. So let's play as normal right now. We
Speaker 2: know when it comes to this Prime Minister, there are
Speaker 2: many things that sum him up. But as I have
Speaker 2: started to move into that time of life when country music,
Speaker 2: well it just hits a man a little different than.
Speaker 1: It used to.
Speaker 2: There's a song that I think is a lot of
Speaker 2: country and a whole lot elbow.
Speaker 1: You know it because it always is not his fault,
Speaker 1: all right.
Speaker 2: You know that as the team on the Ray Hadley
Speaker 2: Morning Program, or Chris Kendy here with the not Responsible thing,
Speaker 2: we've all kind of seen what's going on here. Right
Speaker 2: When it's great, it's all him, and when it's not, oh,
Speaker 2: it's nothing to see here. And when it comes to excuses,
Speaker 2: they never blame themselves for the idea or the arguing
Speaker 2: or the pressure it.
Speaker 1: Puts on astrainer. No, not at all.
Speaker 2: Remember, of course, when four hundred and fifty million dollars
Speaker 2: was spent on a referendum last year that went from
Speaker 2: sixty forty support to sixty forty.
Speaker 1: No, of course that wasn't his fault. That was.
Speaker 3: Misinformation, misinformation, misinformation, the.
Speaker 4: Misinformation, which is there some misinformation.
Speaker 2: Now of course the economy, which has absolutely nothing to
Speaker 2: do with this government unless, of course the numbers are good,
Speaker 2: and then it's all their responsibility. Well, of course they
Speaker 2: have no responsibility for structural budget deficits. That mean we
Speaker 2: will have a budget deficit for the next forty forty
Speaker 2: years out of twenty forty. Midion almost said forty years
Speaker 2: out to the twenty sixties. The same government that turns
Speaker 2: around has had record migration, and I've got a bit
Speaker 2: more to say about that later in the program. No, no, no, no, again,
Speaker 2: they've got their excuses. You can't blame us. We're doing
Speaker 2: our best.
Speaker 5: Inflation is moderating but lingering, especially in North America. Growth
Speaker 5: is weak in China, and it's slowing in other major economies.
Speaker 5: The Middle East conflict has escalated, risking higher oil prices.
Speaker 5: The war in Ukraine continues. Supply chains are fragmenting while
Speaker 5: the global economy transforms.
Speaker 2: So could you explain why other countries are cutting interest
Speaker 2: rates and ours are staying rock solid at generation highs,
Speaker 2: we'll get ready because already being baked into the meat
Speaker 2: pie for us to consume between now and the next
Speaker 2: federal election. Then excuse that all underperforming governments around the world,
Speaker 2: but certainly our underperforming government here is going to use
Speaker 2: over and over and over again.
Speaker 1: In fact, they're doing it already.
Speaker 2: The number one reason why the economy, which was crap
Speaker 2: in twenty two, crap in twenty three, crap in twenty four,
Speaker 2: will still be crap in twenty five.
Speaker 3: Donald Trump, Donald Trump, Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: But what sorry, what.
Speaker 2: Donald Trump's going to be the reason why the economy
Speaker 2: doesn't get any better. Of course he hasn't been president
Speaker 2: for the past four years. But okay, now you'll see
Speaker 2: this when you set out a not so sophisticated search
Speaker 2: party in around the news at the moment where there's
Speaker 2: lots of little people already preparing the ultimate excuse for
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five by car Blo mask got a Orange Man, Bad.
Speaker 1: And on.
Speaker 2: This comes from the SBS, the same of course over
Speaker 2: at the Union superannuation news sites, and already we are
Speaker 2: being pre cooked for those that are paying interest rates
Speaker 2: that are, as I said, generation high levels already we
Speaker 2: are being told that one of the reasons why there
Speaker 2: can be no changes when it comes.
Speaker 1: To interest rates is.
Speaker 2: Reserve Bank stands ready for Trump economic fallout. Okay, let's
Speaker 2: nip this one right in the bud. Let's just salt
Speaker 2: the earth before this one is able to actually take root,
Speaker 2: and they're going to have a new blame tree to
Speaker 2: lift their leg on. Join me over at camera three. Now,
Speaker 2: who was the President of the United States when interest
Speaker 2: rates started going up in Australia in twoenty and twenty two?
Speaker 1: Was it Donald Trump? Or was it this guy? Oh?
Speaker 2: Now, when Australia did start having interest rates go up,
Speaker 2: who was the Prime minister? Will of course it was
Speaker 2: Scott Morrison the first time, and that was in cost
Speaker 2: living crisis. But who was the prime minister when they
Speaker 2: went up in June of twenty twenty two or July
Speaker 2: or August, September, October, November, December twenty and twenty two?
Speaker 1: What about when they.
Speaker 2: Put up the rates in February of two thousand and
Speaker 2: twenty three, March of the same year, May of the
Speaker 2: same year, June of the same year or November of
Speaker 2: twenty and twenty.
Speaker 1: Was Donald Trump? No? Back to camera one.
Speaker 2: Now, of course it's all Sump's fault, ain't true when
Speaker 2: it comes to the cost of living crisis. We know
Speaker 2: the Yes, there had been global issues, but they were
Speaker 2: global issues before the last election. But they were also
Speaker 2: so personal about the former government. Hence why Australians turned
Speaker 2: on them, booted them, got rid of them, on top
Speaker 2: of a whole bunch of other stuff. And as rich
Speaker 2: I says, people always get it right. You will not
Speaker 2: see me sooking or sucking my thumb about any of
Speaker 2: that stuff. And one of the reasons why this government
Speaker 2: has gone backwards year after year after year in the
Speaker 2: opinion polls is because of their handling of the economy.
Speaker 2: Their promise in twenty twenty two was that the life
Speaker 2: would be cheaper under an Albanezi government. At the start
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty three, it was their promise that they
Speaker 2: were going to get on top of it this year.
Speaker 2: It was their promise at the start of twenty twenty
Speaker 2: four that we were going to have a reset and
Speaker 2: two little too late tax cuts were somehow.
Speaker 1: Going to change everything.
Speaker 2: But we called that play that it was billions of
Speaker 2: dollars on a slogan for the prime minister to try
Speaker 2: to change his political fortunes around. But guess what, nothing happened.
Speaker 2: In fact, it all got worse. So they blamed Trump,
Speaker 2: they blame misinformation, they blame the war in Ukraine. So
Speaker 2: what do all Australian political leaders who end up finding
Speaker 2: themselves in a world of trouble start doing well?
Speaker 1: They blame News Corp.
Speaker 2: They blame the very company of which this station is
Speaker 2: owned by. The newspapers you may well read are owned by.
Speaker 2: Of course, the calculation of who's the biggest news company
Speaker 2: in the country completely leaves out that we have not one, but.
Speaker 1: Two two public broadcasters. Whatever.
Speaker 2: But a small note to the Prime Minister before he
Speaker 2: starts this and inevitably.
Speaker 1: Will be embraced by those who.
Speaker 2: Just want to shut us up. Why because we push back.
Speaker 2: And I don't mean that company wide. I mean that
Speaker 2: at this part of the company and this show on
Speaker 2: this part of the company, a company that is willing
Speaker 2: to fight for values and willing to back people in
Speaker 2: like myself to say whatever I think.
Speaker 1: Each and every night.
Speaker 2: You see the most harsh criticism, the one that's really
Speaker 2: ringing the Prime Minister's bell at the moment, well and
Speaker 2: truly the constant beat of self doubt is there because
Speaker 2: of what we point out each and every night. But
Speaker 2: the stuff that really hurts them on the inside, well
Speaker 2: it doesn't come from this company. Instead, it was somebody who,
Speaker 2: according to a freedom of information request, was on the
Speaker 2: list of people second only to the Great Murferoux who
Speaker 2: ended up working for the Prime Minister after leaving The
Speaker 2: Guardian to work for the Prime Minister, which was nasty
Speaker 2: Nicky Sava. Remember she wrote this, and you may notice
Speaker 2: it comes.
Speaker 1: From the Uggs, the Ugger, not a.
Speaker 2: News limited publication, not a news Corp publication.
Speaker 1: But no, no, no, it's all their fault. Royal Commission, Royal Commission.
Speaker 2: Now please look sorry, back here. The thing is, what
Speaker 2: does my heading is this idea right that that somehow
Speaker 2: you can invent things that aren't true and the Australian
Speaker 2: people will just go marching with you like pied piper.
Speaker 1: Anyway, you get the point.
Speaker 2: Here's the deal. Everything that you know to be wrong
Speaker 2: about this government, you know to be wrong because it is.
Speaker 2: You can't make up that three million people are this
Speaker 2: close to homelessness. You can't make up that three and
Speaker 2: a bit million people are worried about where their meals
Speaker 2: may come from.
Speaker 1: You cannot make.
Speaker 2: Up that for three Christmases in a row, there are
Speaker 2: stories in all types of media that turn around and
Speaker 2: tell us about how to off Christmas is going to
Speaker 2: be let alone. You can't make up that the Prime
Speaker 2: Minister went and bought a four and a half million
Speaker 2: dollar house for the never never because he can at
Speaker 2: a time when millions of people are in mortgage stress.
Speaker 2: You can't make up that the Prime Minister decided to
Speaker 2: spend four hundred and fifty million dollars on a referendum
Speaker 2: which was really about burnishing his own place in history.
Speaker 2: This was a guy who had sat and he had studied,
Speaker 2: studied Howard, studied Keating, studied Rudd, Guillard. He saw what
Speaker 2: they all went up and down here and there, and
Speaker 2: he knew if I can lay a punch in the
Speaker 2: first twelve eighteen months for the history books, then I
Speaker 2: will be forever remembered as the prime minister who did that.
Speaker 2: Because the unfortunately most recent history of our country in
Speaker 2: the past ten or so years is that when most
Speaker 2: of them only end up serving for one election, or
Speaker 2: they win one election, the biscuit at the next election,
Speaker 2: people turn around and.
Speaker 1: Say, well, what do they do. Well, I'm the gay
Speaker 1: marriage one.
Speaker 2: I'm the one who said sorry, I'm the one who
Speaker 2: saved our economy. They all want that one achievement, the
Speaker 2: voice and the vote about it was about him doing that.
Speaker 2: If he really wanted the voice, he could have legislated it.
Speaker 2: On the first day of Parliament, newspoll produced in which
Speaker 2: newspaper has tracked the popularity and the fall apart of
Speaker 2: this prime minister.
Speaker 1: Now, it's always so easy.
Speaker 2: For people to turn around and say, you know what,
Speaker 2: I'm actually winning this footy game. It's the people who
Speaker 2: keep score. They're the ones who've got the problems. No,
Speaker 2: and remember this government tried to turn around and sense
Speaker 2: it the internet to try to stop evidence based criticism
Speaker 2: like what I deliver for you each and every night.
Speaker 2: And I have deliberately turned our attention to trying to
Speaker 2: build it around the facts, with the opinion in and
Speaker 2: around about that. You know it's not a grain of
Speaker 2: salt in there. You know it's a brick from the
Speaker 2: Australian Bureau Statistics. I show you where the data comes from.
Speaker 2: Like your old maths teacher used to say, show working.
Speaker 2: I show working every night. Yet still they wanted to
Speaker 2: turn around and they wanted to say that content shared
Speaker 2: by you, made by people like me, to be declared
Speaker 2: by left far left think tanks is misinformation, would somehow
Speaker 2: be eventually pested off the internet. It's your bed, Prime Minister.
Speaker 2: You made it, You're gonna lign it, and we'll all
Speaker 2: find out what happens next year.
Speaker 1: Now join me over here.
Speaker 2: Okay, So let's talk about immigration, and the consistency when
Speaker 2: talking about immigration on this show is that it's not
Speaker 2: a conversation about where people come from, what language you
Speaker 2: know for all of that, right, it's just literally about
Speaker 2: a country. How many people can this joint take now
Speaker 2: the beginner town that want to sell more staff, or
Speaker 2: the bureaucrats in treasury who want more taxpayers to pay
Speaker 2: for the people who they brought in ten years ago
Speaker 2: or twenty years ago as they slowly move their way
Speaker 2: towards retirement and sort of prime midi care time.
Speaker 1: That's a Ponzi scheme. Right on this show.
Speaker 2: We know what the consequences are if you add a
Speaker 2: million extra people in just a couple of years. And
Speaker 2: that's what's happened under this government, is that the number
Speaker 2: of houses that there are for the people who were
Speaker 2: here before the million people turned up is dwindling. The
Speaker 2: number of places where if you get picked up in
Speaker 2: an ambulance that would drop you off at a hospital
Speaker 2: that would have a bed is stopped. And every single
Speaker 2: time there's an opinion poll on this, including and I've
Speaker 2: been very specific in my sourcing this evening, because i
Speaker 2: would like to show that there is not a specific
Speaker 2: conspiracy about pointing out the failures of this government. There's
Speaker 2: just people reporting on the failures of this government. Opinion
Speaker 2: poll after opinion poll after opinion poll that asked question,
Speaker 2: is immigration too Hi?
Speaker 1: Guess what it concludes?
Speaker 6: Every time Yes, yes, yes, Not because Australia is racist,
Speaker 6: but because Australians understand there's only so many spots on
Speaker 6: the road, there's only so many spots in the hospital,
Speaker 6: where there's only so many spots.
Speaker 2: In the childcare centers. Again, poll after poll after poll,
Speaker 2: high immigration loser support.
Speaker 1: Two thirds of Australians want lower immigration, but we get
Speaker 1: it anyway.
Speaker 2: Why because Treasury needs to say the economy is growing
Speaker 2: even though we're in a per capita recession and have
Speaker 2: been for seven quarters in a row. Seven Times three
Speaker 2: months twenty one months in a row, where we the
Speaker 2: citizen have been going backwards. What we are able to
Speaker 2: spend with our one dollar is back to the value
Speaker 2: of where we were in twenty ten.
Speaker 1: But of course it's a giant conspiracy. Please now you
Speaker 1: may recall I was slightly skeptical of the.
Speaker 2: Prime Minister bouncing around with clothes Clare O'Neil, who I
Speaker 2: think back then had something to do with immigration, saying
Speaker 2: we're definitely going to harve the amount of immigration because
Speaker 2: we know this is a political problem, even though of
Speaker 2: course lefty Laura Tingle and the rest of them were saying, oh,
Speaker 2: we don't really have a problem.
Speaker 1: We're racist nation.
Speaker 2: All these people are going to start turning on people
Speaker 2: who look different at auctions.
Speaker 1: Well maybe in the act but nowhere else, and.
Speaker 2: Not even in the acte because Australians aren't like that.
Speaker 2: Well guess what it was a lie. They didn't deliver.
Speaker 2: Numbers come out today and the Turnbull Times, The Turnbull
Speaker 2: Times says embarrassing numbers see the Abanezi government likely to
Speaker 2: miss its migration reduction target, meaning they didn't cut migration.
Speaker 2: Where do those numbers come from? That far right wing
Speaker 2: thing tankle it's down the botcherode the barrel less one.
Speaker 2: The Australian Bureau of Statistics again, let's show working.
Speaker 1: Have a look at this.
Speaker 2: You can see the red line total population growth. The
Speaker 2: brownish line is the number of people that have come
Speaker 2: into the country net migration. The blue line number of babies.
Speaker 2: You see where the majority of the growth is coming from.
Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen. In terms of the number of people
Speaker 2: who have come to your state in the past twelve months.
Speaker 2: You so while one hundred and forty two thousand Victoria,
Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty two thousand Queensland, seventy four thousand
Speaker 2: So Australia, twenty three thousand, fifty eight thousand from Western Australia,
Speaker 2: three in a bid, thousand and four Tasmania. These are people,
Speaker 2: by the way, from international places. Now people have decided
Speaker 2: to move to better climates, better jobs, newer jobs, cheaper houses.
Speaker 2: Every one of those people has been brought into the country. Oh,
Speaker 2: because we have a skill shortage, And that might be true,
Speaker 2: but that's also because the smarty pants that are now
Speaker 2: telling us we must have more people.
Speaker 1: Come on in, come on in. Whatever I know there's
Speaker 1: a cube.
Speaker 7: Come this money.
Speaker 2: It's matey.
Speaker 1: Just pay your taxes on the way. Don't worry. You
Speaker 1: can all compete for the same houses.
Speaker 2: Those are the same people who told a generation like
Speaker 2: thirty years where the school kids, you must finish your twelve,
Speaker 2: you must go to university. We must educate Australia. We
Speaker 2: must have big brain to Australia. Unless you're going to
Speaker 2: be an engineer than you were a failure. If you're
Speaker 2: not going to be an engineer, be an art student.
Speaker 2: When the reality is that what we should have been
Speaker 2: saying to a lot more people than those that were
Speaker 2: going to university was you know what, become a tradee.
Speaker 2: It's going to really pay off for you one day. Yes,
Speaker 2: it's hard graft, it's hard work, but guess what life is.
Speaker 2: There's a very few number of people that are able
Speaker 2: to just sort of get money sent to them by
Speaker 2: a mystery uncle somewhere in Monaco has just got too
Speaker 2: much of it and can't eat one hundred dollars bills anymore. Right,
Speaker 2: I don't know if that person exists, but good luck
Speaker 2: to you and congratulations if you're in the the bloodline.
Speaker 2: Send us all something for Christmas. But for everyone else, Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's hard, it's tough, but we told a whole bunch
Speaker 2: of kids, you know what, it doesn't have to be tough.
Speaker 1: You can go and and turn your film study as
Speaker 1: the manager into a billion dollar kara where Now I
Speaker 1: get it.
Speaker 2: Not everyone's going to be exactly great with a jackammer
Speaker 2: or amazing as a welder, but you get my point.
Speaker 1: The consequence of.
Speaker 2: Which is is that surprise, surprise. The very system that
Speaker 2: pushed your kids in that direction or your grandkids in
Speaker 2: that direction, is the same one that turns around says
Speaker 2: we must open the floodgates with all of those people
Speaker 2: coming in the past two years, added to your kids
Speaker 2: trying to find a house, compete for a house, the
Speaker 2: houses that there are a few of to rent, or
Speaker 2: the ones that are more expensive. It's almost like it's
Speaker 2: by design, isn't it. You can't possibly say that. Another
Speaker 2: theme we have been relentless about and we will continue
Speaker 2: to be next year, which is other people's money, about
Speaker 2: how those in charge just love to pitle it away. Now,
Speaker 2: I've always spoken to the people who make a graphics
Speaker 2: who are awesome, they work really, really, really hard that
Speaker 2: I just wanted an image of like a treasure and
Speaker 2: just a brick wall and need to get the no, no, no,
Speaker 2: that would be poor taste for so we stand by this,
Speaker 2: but imagine every time you see this. That's what I'm
Speaker 2: mentally thinking right now. In terms of how some people
Speaker 2: spend our money. Now story today, they've got a few
Speaker 2: people interested. Federal government departments spent taxpayer cash on artworks,
Speaker 2: dance performances and instruments. Taxpayers forked out six hundred and
Speaker 2: fifty thousand dollars so federal government departments could commission artworks, supplies,
Speaker 2: dance performances, sorry, dance performance and exhibition. In the last year,
Speaker 2: eight hundred and seventy thousand dollars was stent by the
Speaker 2: Australian Embassy in the United States on five new pieces
Speaker 2: of art.
Speaker 1: Do you Sue's the ambassador?
Speaker 2: I couldn't possibly have a sweet tooth for other people's money,
Speaker 2: could he? The Department of Infrastructure and Transport commissioned at
Speaker 2: Queensland based gallery to work for a chair of twenty
Speaker 2: four thousand dollars on the behalf of another government department.
Speaker 1: Isn't that great?
Speaker 2: Another big ticket item saw defat spend twenty five thousand
Speaker 2: dollars and the Arctics the Boosroom in the United So
Speaker 2: the massive spend on art by the government departments was
Speaker 2: also confirmed when six hundred and ninety eight thousand dollars
Speaker 2: were spent by the Department of Defense and the Federal
Speaker 2: Police to acquire musical instruments, including a total of three
Speaker 2: hundred and twelve thousand dollars on a Melbourne based wind
Speaker 2: instrument sales.
Speaker 1: Now, I get it right. You know Army banned great
Speaker 1: police band. Great.
Speaker 2: I'm not hanging it on you, But just who is
Speaker 2: the lucky bugger who held out for long enough to
Speaker 2: go you know what, one day, one day, if we
Speaker 2: just keep at this wind instrument sales and repairs business,
Speaker 2: will eventually be the last one left. And every time
Speaker 2: the Army band needs a new three hundred and twelve
Speaker 2: thousand dollars. So that's all fun. But far more dangerous
Speaker 2: and far more insipile, and far more difficult and far
Speaker 2: more intergenerational is what these people had been doing with
Speaker 2: other people's money. Prime Minister is finance minister, and the
Speaker 2: treasurer the treasurer at the federal and the state level.
Speaker 1: Today we learn that over the next couple of years.
Speaker 1: They are going to borrow.
Speaker 2: Sitting down more than half a tee for trillion dollars
Speaker 2: over the next four years, six hundred and fifty b
Speaker 2: four billion dollars. Westpack is someone who put this together.
Speaker 2: Their senior economist, pat Buster Monte has forecast that government's
Speaker 2: borrowing to almost double this financial year, to be just
Speaker 2: over six percent of GDP.
Speaker 1: Who cares about those numbers, I get it, So let
Speaker 1: me put it this way for you.
Speaker 2: This would broadly be in line with what was borrowed
Speaker 2: at the height of the GFC, high than what was
Speaker 2: borrowed during the protracted early nineties recession, and only surpassed
Speaker 2: by the government borrowing during the pandemic. So we are
Speaker 2: post pandemic, we are POSTGFC, but we are preparing for
Speaker 2: Trump's economy. So borrowing of this magnitude has previously been
Speaker 2: a response to significant deteriorations in.
Speaker 1: The labor market or the threat of a protected recession,
Speaker 1: meaning we are in a recession.
Speaker 2: We have been for twenty one months at the per
Speaker 2: capital level. But because growth is zero point one, zero
Speaker 2: point two, zero point three, Oh, we're just chugging along. No,
Speaker 2: we're a car that's idling when you take your foot
Speaker 2: off the break that is not moving.
Speaker 1: All right, movements, but it ain't moving.
Speaker 2: To give it an idea again in visual form here
Speaker 2: you can see to the left the numbers that go
Speaker 2: all the way back pro the year two thousand, back
Speaker 2: to the recession in the nineteen nineties. You can see
Speaker 2: the GFC, you can see the pandemic, and you can
Speaker 2: see that what is coming up in the next couple
Speaker 2: of years bigger than the money that they took out
Speaker 2: of the GFC when remember they just gave people money.
Speaker 2: Remember the money, God love you if you went and
Speaker 2: spend it on a plasma. And that's still the plasma
Speaker 2: that you're watching us on right now. Hi, clean down there.
Speaker 2: There's some handprints now a couple of other things I
Speaker 2: want to mention here too. There are some good news
Speaker 2: about the economy today, and I will not hide it
Speaker 2: here not there's nothing political about it.
Speaker 1: It's just what's happening, which is jobs.
Speaker 2: There was a good number that came out today about
Speaker 2: the number of people that have got a new job. However,
Speaker 2: as always, there's some details that you need to know here.
Speaker 2: Full time employment went up by fifty two thousand people.
Speaker 2: That's great, that's football stadium full of people, right awesome. However,
Speaker 2: the number of part time employees went down by a
Speaker 2: smaller football stadium of seventeen thousand people. That of course
Speaker 2: means it's great that there's the full time workers. But
Speaker 2: does anyone think that some of the part time workers
Speaker 2: just ended up losing their jobs They didn't automatically move
Speaker 2: over to the full time employees. But still, because you
Speaker 2: can never have any good things at any one time.
Speaker 2: According to the Reserve Bank, it was a surprise today
Speaker 2: that the unemployment number fell to three point nine percent
Speaker 2: unemployment and that, of course now means absolutely no chance
Speaker 2: of an interest right cup. But that's all Donald Trump's fault,
Speaker 2: isn't it.
Speaker 1: I think so.
Speaker 2: News in the world of sport tonight is that the
Speaker 2: next place to hold, or one of the next places
Speaker 2: to hold, the FIFA Football World Cup is going to
Speaker 2: be well, not much better than a previous one that's
Speaker 2: held it. Remember when Katar held the Football World Cup
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago. Now, I, among others, did
Speaker 2: not like this World Cup. Why because thousands of people
Speaker 2: died building the very venues in order to host the Cup.
Speaker 2: But you know, the football started, everyone watched it. Don't
Speaker 2: talk about that. Well, last night, the same people that
Speaker 2: were patting themselves on the back about what happened in
Speaker 2: Qatar decided to award an upcoming World Cup to the
Speaker 2: only country that was bidding.
Speaker 8: That the host of the FIFA World Cup twenty thirty
Speaker 8: four well be Sallyaabia nabaruv Clia, France, Henriots Nabaru to everyone.
Speaker 2: That were the only country that was bidding. It was
Speaker 2: like Brisbane in the twenty thirty two Games. So a
Speaker 2: couple of things about this. These tournaments are firstly too
Speaker 2: expensive and clearly that's why people don't want to keep
Speaker 2: hosting them. And secondly, if the only countries that can
Speaker 2: afford to host them are ones that have pretty bad
Speaker 2: human rights records or potentially bad rights records when it
Speaker 2: comes to workers, then why are they being rewarded with
Speaker 2: these big events?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: Because of course it will bring them into the twenty
Speaker 2: first century. It will modernize them. You know the way
Speaker 2: that Russia is completely now and open and free and
Speaker 2: amazing democracy after it held a World Cup, Or what
Speaker 2: about China who held two Olympic Games that they're open
Speaker 2: for business?
Speaker 1: Aren't they now.
Speaker 2: Now Australia is a tubby nation. I can afford to
Speaker 2: say this because I think we all know. But here's
Speaker 2: the deal. Now, obesity is a bigger problem than smoking
Speaker 2: in Australia. In fact, it is considered to be a
Speaker 2: greater threat to the average Australian's life than smoking. It's
Speaker 2: a good thing, because we're glad that smoking is gone
Speaker 2: from most places. A terrible, awful, filthy discussing, terrible habit.
Speaker 2: Do not start, do not begin, do not pass. Go
Speaker 2: Please pay three hundred dollars per packet in tax so
Speaker 2: you can keep going around. But yeah, obesity is now
Speaker 2: ever taking tobacco as the greatest risk at the moment.
Speaker 2: Get ready for some pretty hot weather in the next
Speaker 2: little while. In fact, there is an expectation that plenty
Speaker 2: of people are going to be absolutely sweltering in the
Speaker 2: next few days.
Speaker 9: It is getting hot from the outback all the way
Speaker 9: through to the coast, and this is due to a
Speaker 9: very warm air spreading from Western Australia this week all
Speaker 9: the way through to the nation's southeast by the beginning
Speaker 9: of next week, which we can.
Speaker 10: Track on our forecast upper air Temperashire.
Speaker 2: Map and then for some reason, I don't know why
Speaker 2: there are so many people, Well, not so many. There's
Speaker 2: like two hundred people who complain about TV ads. Now,
Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on in your life that
Speaker 2: you complain about a TV ad, father being a fan
Speaker 2: serveral sex restory, Oh, someone thinking about the children. Well
Speaker 2: that's exactly what happened. And here's a couple of examples
Speaker 2: of the most complained about ads in Australia. A whole
Speaker 2: twenty two people complained about this ad because they said
Speaker 2: it was too scary for kids. Cut off, they can
Speaker 2: pay for the rest, They can pay for the rest
Speaker 2: before the little Scottish man comes in and tells us
Speaker 2: good gig right for him. That was upheld as being
Speaker 2: too scary for kids. Too scary for kids, so they went,
Speaker 2: you know what, you must censor that one red rooster.
Speaker 2: Some people complained about some of their ads for being
Speaker 2: all a little bit too offensive, and the number one
Speaker 2: most complained about ad, with a grand total of sixty
Speaker 2: nine people. Sixty nine people complained about this was, according
Speaker 2: to ad News, an advertisement which begins with a shirtless
Speaker 2: man exiting a bedroom, coming face to face with two women.
Speaker 2: They giggle and say good morning. The third woman exits
Speaker 2: the bedroom and the first says mum. They all look awkwardly,
Speaker 2: and then someone says did someone say CAFC?
Speaker 1: I don't care.
Speaker 2: Somebody was sexual sexual disgusting. It'll lead to dipping sauce.
Speaker 2: Someone can Sixty sixty nine people complained about that. Thankfully
Speaker 2: no breach was recorded at all. And now the bit
Speaker 2: that I have been nervous about all day. Clive Robertson,
Speaker 2: a titanic figure of Australian broadcasting and a person who
Speaker 2: I am forever honored to say.
Speaker 1: Was my mate.
Speaker 2: Clive passed away this week and all day it's sort
Speaker 2: of come and gone about the tears for a guy
Speaker 2: who would absolutely hate that he's been even spoken about,
Speaker 2: let alone spoken about in this sort of overly emotional way.
Speaker 1: You know who Clive Robertson is. I know who Clive
Speaker 1: Robertson is, But.
Speaker 2: If you don't, here is how Patrick Burns celebrated the
Speaker 2: life of this incredible broadcaster on seven News.
Speaker 11: To me, it was a whole new world of news
Speaker 11: could eve. There's a sense of dejau vu about this
Speaker 11: first story Good Evening. There's a sense of dejau vu
Speaker 11: about this first story.
Speaker 7: Clive Robertson a nineteen eighties news ratings sensation.
Speaker 11: I think it's time for another beat up, aren't you?
Speaker 7: A newsreader who wouldn't stick to the script.
Speaker 11: Should have been a technician, except I had better toetry habits.
Speaker 7: A train nut, published photographer. Friends say he was a
Speaker 7: recluse with a deep religious fate.
Speaker 11: Trying to animate this show, I said, could you be
Speaker 11: a bit more animated?
Speaker 7: Clive privately battled cancer for about a year. He would
Speaker 7: have been seventy nine. In two weeks, A legend gone
Speaker 7: from the newsward Goodnight, Patrick Burns seven News.
Speaker 2: Like any little kid who dreams of being on the
Speaker 2: radio one day, or maybe being on the telly, you
Speaker 2: are really aware of who's on the radio and who's
Speaker 2: on the telly.
Speaker 1: And we were really aware of.
Speaker 2: Clive Robertson being on the television more so than the radio.
Speaker 2: He'd been on the radio for a long time before
Speaker 2: at TBL which is now seven oh Twobsith, as he
Speaker 2: would often refer to it, Earth and he was a phenomena.
Speaker 1: He was the type of person who could turn.
Speaker 2: Nothing into like an hour long bit that he'd bring
Speaker 2: back two days later, and he worked on layers and
Speaker 2: levels that a lot of people just it's impossible to
Speaker 2: even explain how he did what he did, but when
Speaker 2: you were experiencing them, you knew that somebody was playing
Speaker 2: some pretty cool music. But I watched him on television,
Speaker 2: and my beautiful friend Andrew watched him on television as well,
Speaker 2: and we grew up and we watched this late night
Speaker 2: show and it was called Newsworld and it was on
Speaker 2: roughly about ten thirty on Channel seven, and it was
Speaker 2: Clive reading the news. And Clive had read the news
Speaker 2: before on the eleven AM program, but this was a
Speaker 2: news cast where he would read the news perfectly with
Speaker 2: that beautiful, incredible voice, but he'd start mucking around, because
Speaker 2: that's Clive. He can't not muck around, he can't not
Speaker 2: poke fun. And then that became the attraction. So you
Speaker 2: were able to watch and it's all on YouTube, and
Speaker 2: you can sit around and have a look back at
Speaker 2: long versions of the show, and there's all stuff about
Speaker 2: the Berlin wallfalling and nuclear arms race, and then there'll
Speaker 2: be a silly story about dolphins.
Speaker 1: All of those sorts of things, but this wickedly.
Speaker 2: Funny, smart man who the more you watched him, the
Speaker 2: more you loved him, and the more he became a friend.
Speaker 2: In this sort of very before it was clever to
Speaker 2: say something was cult like, there was just this way
Speaker 2: of saying did you see it?
Speaker 1: Did you see it?
Speaker 2: And there was a certain group of people who saw
Speaker 2: it and got it, and there are other people who
Speaker 2: didn't and they were missing out. And my dear friend
Speaker 2: ANDROI say, because of course, back in the sort of
Speaker 2: eighties and nineties, when people did things on television, the
Speaker 2: kind of high compliment that could be paid of them
Speaker 2: was when somebody would take the piss out of them
Speaker 2: on like a comedy company or a fast forward show.
Speaker 2: And when we're in year six at school, we all
Speaker 2: sort of did these little skits about a fake TV
Speaker 2: show and I was doing the Steve Bizard thing, and
Speaker 2: Andrew did Clive Robertson.
Speaker 1: He was very good at it.
Speaker 2: A few years later, I ended up working at Radio
Speaker 2: two SM with my dear friend Jason Morrison, and Jason
Speaker 2: had brought me over there after starting my career journalistically
Speaker 2: at TWOGP and that's where I started to meet Clive,
Speaker 2: and Clive was doing the Breakfast Show then and I,
Speaker 2: as I have said many a time, as a high
Speaker 2: functioning dyslexic, which means when you come up against a
Speaker 2: person as brilliant as Clive and you put words in
Speaker 2: the wrong place, he points them out, and then there'd
Speaker 2: be a little test about whether you could take it,
Speaker 2: and clearly he liked that I could, and then we
Speaker 2: became friends. And anyone who knows Clive, and without betraying
Speaker 2: the privacy of Clive, is that there's not a lot
Speaker 2: of people in his world at any one time, and
Speaker 2: I was lucky enough to be one of the very
Speaker 2: few people in his life for a nice junk of time.
Speaker 2: And in that time, I had a guy who I
Speaker 2: loved watching as a kid, slowly poke fun at the world.
Speaker 2: Helped me build a worldview, help me work out how
Speaker 2: I would like to do what I'd like to do.
Speaker 2: And there's a lot of things that happen on this
Speaker 2: show that are even unconsciously things that we've talked about
Speaker 2: over the years. And tonight, a little later in the show,
Speaker 2: Jason is going to be here because he was Clive's
Speaker 2: forever friend and his beautiful wife Heidi, and they would
Speaker 2: both buy his bedside as he passed and Kel Richards,
Speaker 2: who of course you know here at Sky News, he
Speaker 2: worked with him at the ABC and has an equally
Speaker 2: wonderful turn of phrase. And I'll save it a little
Speaker 2: more for a little later, but if we could take
Speaker 2: a wide shot of this desk, guys, because you may
Speaker 2: notice something that's different about this show then lots of
Speaker 2: other shows on the Telly and certainly lots of the
Speaker 2: other shows here at Sky News, is these microphones. I
Speaker 2: don't use Lapel microphone. We have these microphones. And these
Speaker 2: microphones are Neuman microphones, which are really fancy ones from Germany,
Speaker 2: and they pick up a beautiful sound and they're the
Speaker 2: ones that Clive used on his show. So for me
Speaker 2: to be sitting here tonight talking into anyman microphone on
Speaker 2: a television about a man who was awesome is equally
Speaker 2: thrilling and tough. And I can also hear him say
Speaker 2: okay enough, Murray.
Speaker 1: That's it. So that's it for now, but we'll talk
Speaker 1: about more later.
Speaker 2: But Clive robertson Rocked and one of the things whenever
Speaker 2: you do a job like this, that you're most afraid
Speaker 2: of when you don't do a job like this, is
Speaker 2: that one day, you'll just be forgotten. It is my
Speaker 2: mission tonight to make sure that he is not forgotten
Speaker 2: and that we celebrate Clive Robertson a little later tonight
Speaker 2: on Paul Murray Life, our favorite person to talk to
Speaker 2: in the entire world is the wonderful Megan Kelly, And
Speaker 2: for one last time this year, let us say hello too,
Speaker 2: the wonderful Megan Kelly from The Megan Kelly Show.
Speaker 1: Serious XM Rockstar. What a year.
Speaker 2: We started off the president that we only wasn't up
Speaker 2: to it. We end with a president who is now
Speaker 2: where to be saying, but the replacement president will take
Speaker 2: him every day of the week.
Speaker 1: What a year.
Speaker 12: It's been crazy, right, I know, it's really incredible when
Speaker 12: you think about it. They just said that the President's
Speaker 12: going to be named Time Magazine's Person of the Year,
Speaker 12: President Elect Donald Trump, and it had to be him.
Speaker 12: I mean, I don't know if it was a head
Speaker 12: fake or walk, but they were saying.
Speaker 10: Well it might be they were either were considering.
Speaker 12: Maybe Kamala Harris, Okay, I mean with the mainstream media,
Speaker 12: you'd have to consider that they would do something that stupid.
Speaker 12: Maybe Elon Musk Okay, that could make some sense, But
Speaker 12: in the year like this, it could only ever have
Speaker 12: been one person.
Speaker 10: It has to be Donald Trump.
Speaker 12: It is truly the most stunning political comeback, comeback, maybe
Speaker 12: even of all time, and on top of having done it,
Speaker 12: you know, having actually won the president see after being
Speaker 12: so down and out he was almost assassinated twice. I mean,
Speaker 12: he actually was hit by an assassin's bullet in front
Speaker 12: of all of our eyes and committed one of the
Speaker 12: most extreme acts of bravery we've ever witnessed from a
Speaker 12: presidential candidate or a president. So to have ignored that
Speaker 12: and to have made anyone other than Donald Trump would
Speaker 12: have been just such a farce.
Speaker 10: And in naming him Person of the Year, although they.
Speaker 12: Do name people who they hate sometimes, it really does
Speaker 12: once again put the lie to the whole Hitler, fascist, etc.
Speaker 12: Smear that's been unleashed against him time and time again
Speaker 12: by publications like Time Magazine.
Speaker 2: I think also Time Magazine knows that if they put
Speaker 2: Trump as Person of the Year, there's a person in
Speaker 2: Florida who orders about ten thousand copies of the magazine
Speaker 2: just to keep in the ballroom, just to hand.
Speaker 1: Out to guests at the club. I don't know who
Speaker 1: that person is, but there's a very good chance that
Speaker 1: they are being bulk ordered by Marri Lago.
Speaker 10: Hal.
Speaker 12: Can I tell you when I went to see Trump
Speaker 12: in his office back in fifteen or sixteen sixteen, Uh,
Speaker 12: and trum tower as stacks and stacks and stacks of
Speaker 12: magazines all over his desk, just of him, just copies
Speaker 12: of magazine.
Speaker 10: This is before he was president.
Speaker 12: Magazine everywhere, it was all over And I think I'm
Speaker 12: told you the story. But he used to send me
Speaker 12: at random, just when I was on Fox News articles.
Speaker 10: About me. He would just pull the article and then
Speaker 10: he would just sign it Donald J. Drow.
Speaker 1: It's the little touches. It's a little touch and I
Speaker 1: have that.
Speaker 10: But yeah, he does like to see himself on on magazines.
Speaker 1: Did he like Merry Christmas?
Speaker 10: Wait before I go, you can't wrap me?
Speaker 1: No stopping?
Speaker 12: Literally, we might not see each other when the break
Speaker 12: is over because America appears to be under attack from
Speaker 12: space aliens.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, could I not do?
Speaker 10: We have to discuss what's happening in New Jersey.
Speaker 1: There's drones everywhere, but nobody's saying what they are. What's
Speaker 1: going on down?
Speaker 12: Oh, they're saying that they are SUV sized drones, that
Speaker 12: there are hundreds of them over New Jersey, including over
Speaker 12: military sites, and no.
Speaker 10: One knows what they are, at least no one's admitting
Speaker 10: that they know.
Speaker 12: So the local lawmakers in New Jersey just had a
Speaker 12: briefing with the FEDS and they walked out angry, esteam,
Speaker 12: coming out of their ears, saying we learned nothing. The
Speaker 12: Feds say they don't know what these are, they don't
Speaker 12: know where they're from. One lawmaker was like, it's from Iran.
Speaker 12: They have some stealth mothership off the coast, and these
Speaker 12: are Iranian drones, and then propably, the FBI denied that
Speaker 12: the Pentagon. The Pentagon denied that, saying that's not true. Well,
Speaker 12: then why did this lawmaker who was just in the
Speaker 12: briefing come out and say that. The other lawmakers are saying,
Speaker 12: we have no idea. The Feds, who have jurisdiction to
Speaker 12: shoot them down or do something about them, are doing nothing,
Speaker 12: which leads a lot of people to think they're ours.
Speaker 12: They are ours, and so we're protecting them. But if
Speaker 12: they're ours, why wouldn't we have removed them by now?
Speaker 12: Now that they've been spotted and they've been a news story.
Speaker 12: They've been flying over there since November eighteenth. Then the
Speaker 12: other side swoops in to say, is this a government
Speaker 12: effort to protect us that they can't shut down because
Speaker 12: they've seen something. They think we're we're going to be
Speaker 12: hit by a dirty bomb. This is my speculation, according
Speaker 12: to some people online andlat like something awful about to happen,
Speaker 12: so they need the droves. The speculation has gotten so
Speaker 12: out of control. And that's not even factoring in little
Speaker 12: Green men and those possibilities.
Speaker 10: No one knows what's happening. I hope I live.
Speaker 12: I hope we do this when you're done with Baker
Speaker 12: and I can tell you all about what they were.
Speaker 1: Well, we could geze.
Speaker 2: Of course, that might be they just wear Amazon drones
Speaker 2: that were trying to drop off alcohol to Kamala and
Speaker 2: they all got lost and they're just swirling around in
Speaker 2: the sky.
Speaker 12: Okay, if that's true, because you know it could be.
Speaker 12: I'm sure she's desperate for a cocktail and.
Speaker 10: She has a doggie. What's up there?
Speaker 12: That wasn't anyway it could be. But apparently these things
Speaker 12: disappear like you see them now. You see them now,
Speaker 12: you don't and there's videotape of them.
Speaker 10: Go google them. This is not made up.
Speaker 12: You can see them. It looks almost like shooting stars.
Speaker 12: If you look at the time last lapse video. They've
Speaker 12: been spotted every night. It comes out for like seven hours,
Speaker 12: but as as soon as somebody tries to like mess
Speaker 12: with them, they disappear.
Speaker 10: So now, how is that? And how are they suv sized? Paul?
Speaker 10: That's what I want to know.
Speaker 12: What in the hell and are they scoping out? You
Speaker 12: know Trump has a golf course there and a home
Speaker 12: in Bedminster. I'm just going to tell you it's not
Speaker 12: that far from where I spend my summers in the
Speaker 12: Jersey Shore. So I would like to know if there's
Speaker 12: some sort of a nuclear tech being planned. Just you know,
Speaker 12: f YI thought I thought my biggest problem down there
Speaker 12: was the windmills. They're about to build this. This has
Speaker 12: gotten my attention, and no matter who gets involved, at
Speaker 12: what level, everyone says I know nothing, I see nothing.
Speaker 10: There's no story here. Ignore the drones in front of
Speaker 10: your eyes. So I don't know.
Speaker 13: Is it?
Speaker 1: Is it you?
Speaker 2: Guys?
Speaker 10: Are you you have something I don't? Do you know
Speaker 10: something I don't know?
Speaker 1: I'm sorry that the satellites just break. I'm disappearing. I'm
Speaker 1: disappearing now. Goodbye, Megan, goodbye.
Speaker 12: Oh don't Very has to come back and see me,
Speaker 12: because let anybody take your power.
Speaker 1: You got your power. You got your power, My power, I.
Speaker 10: Got, I got my viogka. Oh be joyful, mag Christ Mike.
Speaker 1: We don't say Mary Christ's.
Speaker 10: Lasa.
Speaker 1: We love your meccan. Thank you so much for everything.
Speaker 1: You are the best. We love you. Will see you
Speaker 1: next year.
Speaker 10: Much love to you and your audience too, see you
Speaker 10: next year.
Speaker 2: So, as I mentioned before, Clive Robertson has died. And
Speaker 2: I hate that I just said that, because he's a
Speaker 2: figure that is very much alive in my heart and
Speaker 2: my mind as somebody.
Speaker 1: Who knew him.
Speaker 2: But two people who knew him much better than I is.
Speaker 2: None of them the Great Kel Richards and Jason Morrison,
Speaker 2: both sort of forever friends to the great man.
Speaker 1: And I'm pleased to.
Speaker 2: Say that Clive joins us now via the microphone from
Speaker 2: his legendary time at seven.
Speaker 13: That's the real one too, is what he used, and
Speaker 13: that's what a real business card that says C. A. Robertson,
Speaker 13: which is him, and the phone number on it. Even
Speaker 13: back then, if you'd call number, it would have been
Speaker 13: disconnected because he deliberately had printed the wrong number on it,
Speaker 13: so no one could ring him business.
Speaker 4: I could also reveal now he used his initials for
Speaker 4: his number plate. Clive Alexander robertson his number plates aid
Speaker 4: see a R.
Speaker 3: That's got to be the best number plate, and he
Speaker 3: car ever had correct correct.
Speaker 13: Well, thank you for that, because I'm driving out at
Speaker 13: the moment.
Speaker 1: So the Robinson group he's a follow me around Sydney. Sorry,
Speaker 1: all right, now he deserves an hour.
Speaker 2: I've sadly on I got a couple of minutes, and
Speaker 2: he'd be saying, we're being very boring talking about him
Speaker 2: right now. But Jason, some of the artifacts that he
Speaker 2: collected over the years that were not given to him
Speaker 2: by his employers.
Speaker 13: Well, Clive had a hobby of collecting memorabilia from radio
Speaker 13: and TV stations, and he worked at two TV station
Speaker 13: three if you count the ABC, and he has little
Speaker 13: bits and pieces from it.
Speaker 1: But the best one ever.
Speaker 13: Is this one. This used to belong Okay, so the
Speaker 13: story goes, he was at Channel seven eighty and seven
Speaker 13: in Sydney. He was doing news World late night show,
Speaker 13: hated it, wanted desperately to get back on eleven AM,
Speaker 13: the daytime show, because who wants to work at night?
Speaker 13: So eleven am he read straight, but late night he
Speaker 13: took the mickey out of the news in the hope
Speaker 13: that they would sack him, and of course it worked very,
Speaker 13: very well. So this sign was on the set of
Speaker 13: eleven am, and he wanted it more than he thought
Speaker 13: eleven am should have it, so he stole it and
Speaker 13: he put it behind like the set, and of course
Speaker 13: the network for weeks on end didn't have a Channel
Speaker 13: seven logo on the front of their debt, so Roger.
Speaker 1: Clemson, it's here, yeah, there it is, Come and get it.
Speaker 3: If you can find me in the phone book you
Speaker 3: can buy. And he was constantly undermining the late night news.
Speaker 4: We came back from one commercial break coming up to Christmas,
Speaker 4: and he had a big metal vice on the desk
Speaker 4: on the newsreaders. In it was a plastic sata clause
Speaker 4: we come back and he's winding an uptake. That's for
Speaker 4: Christmas nighteen fifty six, for.
Speaker 13: Remember all the night when there was not enough news
Speaker 13: to be worth doing the news, And he'd start the
Speaker 13: show with there's no point watching this but seeing you are.
Speaker 13: Have you ever changed the film in an instamatic camera?
Speaker 13: If you haven't, I'm going to show you how to
Speaker 13: do it. And that was the lead story or mister Squiggle.
Speaker 1: Good evening.
Speaker 13: Tonight is the thirtieth anniversary of Mister Squiggles WI on
Speaker 13: Australian TV and we have an exclusive video mister Squiggle
Speaker 13: on the ABC. He'd taken a crew out for the
Speaker 13: day to film it and Channel seven bosses are going what.
Speaker 1: Then, well, what is it?
Speaker 13: By the way, this is from Channel line.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, yeah of course as well tonight. Wow, that's cool.
Speaker 1: He kept it all, kept it all and I.
Speaker 13: Don't know how this ended up, but in the same
Speaker 13: way most of it, but just collected in a way.
Speaker 1: So if any of the packers are watching you and
Speaker 1: then kill you wrote you wrote a book.
Speaker 3: I did a book within him, a little book called
Speaker 3: Word of the Day.
Speaker 4: There's his picture which you won't be able to see
Speaker 4: clearly on the front and mine and he wouldn't write anything.
Speaker 3: So I dragged him into my study in my house.
Speaker 3: I read him a bit.
Speaker 4: He'd ad lib a line and I'd type it in
Speaker 4: and that I'd read a bit more, he'd add a
Speaker 4: little bit, and that's how we managed to do a
Speaker 4: book together. But his best bits were spontaneous on the
Speaker 4: late night news one night, the old TV alights were
Speaker 4: halogen and they sometimes exploded, and he's there reading and
Speaker 4: one exploded. So he suddenly became Maxwell Smart. Missed me
Speaker 4: by that much.
Speaker 2: And that's the thing that the ability. And when you
Speaker 2: go back and look, we can't do the service. Now
Speaker 2: go and do all the youtubes. Have a look at
Speaker 2: the rest. You'll see just how fast he is. Faster
Speaker 2: than Frankly, the.
Speaker 1: People that have hosted late night shows or FM bricks.
Speaker 13: No one's in his legs like there's no one in
Speaker 13: the I mean even Kennedy. He was up against Graham
Speaker 13: Kennedy and he beat Kennedy in Sydney, he beat him
Speaker 13: in Brisbane. The only place Kennedy one was in Melbourne.
Speaker 4: And then and he told me Kennedy had four writers.
Speaker 4: Clive had libbed the show he did.
Speaker 1: You know you were talking about.
Speaker 13: Great moments on TV. And the thing about it is
Speaker 13: that Robertson was a radio guy. He was a radio
Speaker 13: Television was an accident and he actually didn't like it.
Speaker 13: That much, but he loved the radio. So we're doing
Speaker 13: a lot of television here, but I've got to finish
Speaker 13: this story on television. He very devoted Christian man, not
Speaker 13: religious Christian. He loved the Bible, and it's a big
Speaker 13: for a lot of people who love him. They're a
Speaker 13: bit surprised when you tell them that.
Speaker 1: But he.
Speaker 13: Was a big believer. But he also thought gambling was evil.
Speaker 13: So one night at Channel nine he was asked to
Speaker 13: do the lotto numbers for a mega draw, like the
Speaker 13: five million dollar draw, the biggest one, and I think
Speaker 13: nine had stakes in lotto at the time. I love
Speaker 13: this story, so Robertson said, we're going to do a
Speaker 13: lot of numbers tonight. So here they are and the
Speaker 13: lotto jingles playing along and up on the screen in
Speaker 13: Roman numerals, tonight's winning lotto numbers.
Speaker 1: And he just had this image of all.
Speaker 3: These people going, what try to try to work it
Speaker 3: out really quickly.
Speaker 1: Lad again, as I said, not enough time.
Speaker 2: You were awesome friends to him and credible friends to him,
Speaker 2: and that was the honor in and of itself to
Speaker 2: be a friend of his. You felt like you were
Speaker 2: the center of the world because you actually were for him.
Speaker 2: There's not enough time. We'll find our own ways and
Speaker 2: we will stop being boring now, all right, thank you Jason,
Speaker 2: thank you, kel thank you. I'll see you again on
Speaker 2: Sunday night. We love yall and we'll see you Sunday night.
Speaker 2: For a rap of twenty twenty four here on Sconies
