WEBVTT - Paul Murray Live | 20 November 0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:05.160 From the Skyinging Center. This is Paul Murray Live. 0:00:06.640 --> 0:00:08.760 Hi, thank you very much for watching. What a Wednesday 0:00:08.840 --> 0:00:11.280 Night I have for you. Let's get straight into it here. 0:00:12.080 --> 0:00:13.760 The past couple of nights we've been talking about a 0:00:13.760 --> 0:00:16.079 report that says three million Australians are right on the 0:00:16.120 --> 0:00:19.720 line of homelessness, in part because of how few rental 0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:22.000 properties there are and the ones that people do have, 0:00:22.840 --> 0:00:25.400 well they're going up in price. It means that three 0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:29.440 million people are right on the line. We also here 0:00:29.520 --> 0:00:33.240 today that the number of businesses that are simply closing down, 0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:37.599 that are either giving up or going bust is basically 0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:40.320 the same today as it was during the absolute worst 0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:43.559 of Lockdown's what the best. 0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:45.000 Part of three and four years ago. 0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:47.680 In fact, today figures that have been released by credit 0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:51.200 data monitoring company credit Watch on Wednesday show that one 0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:56.240 in twenty businesses across the country is failing as consumer 0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:59.400 spending drives up and high costs hit the bottom line. 0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:05.800 One in twenty businesses failing. The record number of businesses 0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:07.880 that have collapsed is basically the same as the worst 0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:11.560 of the pandemic, and three million people are right on 0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:15.240 the homeless line. But what's our government doing with your money. 0:01:15.560 --> 0:01:19.160 Chris Bowen is overseas. He's kissing the ring of China, 0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:26.640 as is Anthony Abernezi the Australian government, meaning you are 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:31.319 going to spend an extra fifty million dollars giving money 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:34.960 to countries like China to deal with climate change. The 0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:37.520 Australian government has committed an extra fifty million dollars towards 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:40.200 a global fund to deal with the loss and damage 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:44.360 courts by climate change. Now remember, China wants one point 0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:47.560 eighty for trillion dollars to go from countries like ours, 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:52.440 the countries like theirs, because they are developing. Now there 0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:55.280 are serious questions in the third World, the Global South, 0:01:55.280 --> 0:02:01.960 the developing hemispheres. But the idea that China deserves any 0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:06.480 of our taxpayers money when it, of course, is where 0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:10.160 most of the solar panels get made. It is where 0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:15.560 slave labor is making them as we speak. It is 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:20.280 threatening global order and stability, It is inventing islands, and 0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:23.600 it has a space station. They can shove it a 0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:29.080 bit more from Cris bow Casanover says, this builds on 0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:31.720 our foundation one hundred million dollars and now we're up 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:35.240 to one hundred and fifty million dollars that we are 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:37.600 giving to other countries at the same time when one 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:41.519 in twenty Australian businesses are failing and three million people 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:44.160 are right on the line when it comes to homelessness. 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:48.839 This is a disgrace. Now for those who believe. 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:51.360 That Australia is a rich and prosperous country must do 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:52.760 its bit for the rest of the world. 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:54.720 I understand the point of foreign aid. 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:59.600 I understand the need for foreign aid. But when this 0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:05.240 government is standing by and borrowing money, largely from China, 0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:11.560 to give taxpayers money to countries like China to deal 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:15.920 with climate change is a disgrace. I do not understand 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:19.359 how this government says that any dollar that is spent 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:23.799 helping out people with cost of living will be there 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:27.799 will be inflationary, therefore they can't spend it. But they 0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:35.320 can borrow billions of dollars for offshore projects. They can 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:40.560 borrow billions of dollars for off budget priorities. This is 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:47.280 a game and they are playing us for fools. Now again, 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:50.680 do I expect that every person who is in financial 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:53.280 stress is about to receive a one million dollar check 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:57.320 from their fellow taxpayer. No, but the working poor in 0:03:57.320 --> 0:04:02.000 this country, who supposedly are represented by this government, this 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:08.360 labor party, are working harder and getting poorer. Three million 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:11.920 people are right now on the line when it comes 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:16.920 to homelessness. One in twenty businesses currently failing. The number 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:19.640 of businesses that are going bust is right at the 0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:22.360 same level as the height of the pandemic. Yet these 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:24.279 people have the hid to turn around and say everything's 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:27.040 fine with the economy. We're broken in the back of inflation. 0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:31.120 Their mates in the media turn around and say mission accomplished, 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:35.880 Mission accomplished. How can a country like ours be in 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:38.520 a place like this, And rather than spending that fifty 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:44.000 million dollars on food bank to feed these people, they 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:48.279 spend it to look good on the international scene. This 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:51.640 federal government, who is of course in charge of a 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:54.840 country that is responsible for one percent of the world's problem, 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:58.720 will in part compensate a country that is thirty three 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:05.719 percent of the worldld's problem, while by mandate, by law, 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:11.320 forcing us into technologies that are built by China with 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:15.320 slave labor that will be utterly useless in twenty years time, 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:20.600 they'll be in landfill. This is madness now for much 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:22.840 of the political establishment. They will say, well, of course, 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:26.200 that's just Sky News, that's just Paul going on about 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:27.000 what it normally does. 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:31.840 Normal people can see this. It is about priorities. 0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:36.680 When the government spends more money on its own advertising 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:39.479 to pump its own tires about two little too late 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:43.080 tax cuts than it spends on the organizations that are 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:47.360 feeding the poor, the working poor that are growing by 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:50.800 the day, then people know the priorities are wrong in 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:51.400 this country. 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:52.520 Again. 0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:55.760 They can find money down the back of the couch 0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:59.360 to make themselves look good when they go overseas. They 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:01.560 can find down the back of the couch for brand 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:08.159 new planes to fly themselves overseas. They expect that companies 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:11.360 give them upgrades to the front of the plane even 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:12.600 when they go on holidays. 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:17.039 Yet they pretend to be the champions of the working poor. 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:20.120 They are not. They have contempt. 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:23.400 The only attitude that they have to people who are 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:28.159 the working poor or are on things like permanent pensions 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:32.160 is that you will just vote labor anyway, you'll vote 0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:34.919 green anyway. There's no day you will ever walk away 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:35.840 from them. 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:37.559 Well, let's make this very clear. 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:40.640 There is an opportunity for anyone else in the political 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:44.880 specter from Peter Dutton to Pauline Hansen to say that 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:49.359 one of their priorities is to actually deal with helping 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:51.840 the people who are right on the line. When we 0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:55.200 have a country where not three million people are this 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:58.640 close to homelessness, or one in twenty businesses are smashing 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:01.640 against the wall, then we've got money to start doling out. 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:04.440 And I'll tell you what, of the developed countries, the 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:09.360 last one who deserves a dollar of ours is China. 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:13.280 Which brings me to some of the fall out and 0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:15.720 the reaction to that excellent documentary. Thank you to everyone 0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:18.760 who gave incredible feedback, and again congratulations to Chris Yellman 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:20.480 and his team for putting together that. 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:22.320 Real cost of net zero. 0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:25.960 Well, we have a little clearer example of just how 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:31.360 big the renewable solution is to the problem quote unquote, 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:35.120 that is, moving from one energy system that works to 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:36.920 the one that makes them feel good when they go 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:40.320 around the world on the private jets, the front of 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:43.880 the planes, or of course to international conferences that they 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:46.960 hope to bring here. Let's do a little bit of 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:49.000 a rough sum here. One of the great things about 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:52.239 that documentary last night was Chris explaining just how much 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:56.160 renewable energy would need to be built in order to 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:59.560 match the current grid, let alone how many solar panels 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:02.960 and win you would need to build in order to 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:05.559 have a grid that is even bigger than the current 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:10.520 one because everything is connected to electricity, cars, cooking, you 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:15.360 name it. Right today, the Victorian government, who in part 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:17.680 one the last state election on the hope to set 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:21.960 up a state government owned energy company, has now decided 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.520 that holess Bolus on its own it will pay for 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:28.200 a solar farm in and around Horsham. 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:29.800 Now the good thing is here. 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:31.840 We can start to do some sums about how much 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:36.200 it actually costs to do the bow and dream about 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:38.720 fifty thousand homes will end up being powered as a 0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:42.400 result of this renewable energy park in Horsham. Here is 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:44.800 the Victorian Premier patting yourself on the back for the 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:45.920 decision she is making. 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:50.319 We're going to see a massive solar farm and battery 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:51.679 story project. 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:54.080 This is with partnering with ox two. 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:56.840 This has seen a three hundred and seventy million dollar 0:08:56.920 --> 0:09:01.400 investment being made through the SEC the horseh and renewable 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:04.599 energy park on this site. It's going to see the 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:08.280 project's going to include one hundred and nineteen megawatts solar 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:11.200 farm being built right here on this site, and one 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:16.280 hundred megawat two hour battery that's also going to be constructed. 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:26.360 Two hour battery. So the sun does not shine for eight, ten, twelve. 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:31.400 Hours, but don't worry, there's a battery that's full of 0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:33.319 the energy that comes out of the solar panels for 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:38.120 two hours. No one says, okay, Premier, Premier, preer. I 0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:41.120 understand the point. I understand what you're doing here, But 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:43.720 do you not agree that while you say that this 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:46.640 is going to power fifty thousand homes, you've actually just 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:52.800 admitted that at night, the power runs out after two hours. Now, 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:54.480 of course, this is the whole point. It's not just 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:56.120 the cost of the wind farm. It's not just the 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:58.400 cost of the solar, it's the cost of the storage. 0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:01.079 It's the cost of the power line. But let's work 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:03.520 off the numbers that they gave us here today. So 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:07.360 the solar panel system is going to cost about three 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:09.559 hundred and seventy million dollars. I think we've got a 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:11.200 couple of pictures of what this thing's going to look like. 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:15.720 Seventy fifty one thousand homes to be precise. Okay, so 0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:20.960 fifty one thousand homes and the solar panels that will 0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:24.080 help power those homes will cost three hundred and seventy 0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:25.280 million dollars. 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:27.400 Now, let's extend this. 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:30.640 There are two million, eight hundred and ten thousand, seven 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:33.960 hundred and seventy five homes in Victoria. Based off the 0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:37.120 three hundred and seventy million dollars for fifty one thousand, 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:44.760 that would equal twenty point three billion dollars. Twenty point 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:47.880 three billion dollars would be how much money would be 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:51.920 needed in that new investment, and that, by the way, 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:54.280 is to have a battery that will last for two hours. 0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:58.560 There are eleven million homes across the country. That would 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:05.440 be seventy nine point eight billion dollars. The documentary was 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:09.040 fascinating for so many levels, but most importantly, this is 0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:11.640 not a postage stamp in Europe. This is not a 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:14.720 country that can throw an extension cord somewhere else. The 0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:17.839 idea that this is the solution. Oh, but it's the 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:21.920 cheapest form of energy available, Not at seventy nine billion dollars, 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:26.520 not at three hundred and seventy five million dollars. For 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:29.400 fifty one thousand homes to be connected to a battery 0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:32.319 that will last for just two hours once the sun 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:32.959 goes down. 0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:33.880 Oh, but of. 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:39.680 Course I'm just a knuckle drager. Now, normally I don't 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:41.960 do the international thing too early in the show, and 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:44.319 there's certainly lots of other conversations about the rest of 0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:47.920 the world. However, we have to note something, which is 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:49.800 that the war in Ukraine is starting to move to 0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:52.800 a new level, and a new level which could result 0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:56.840 in the potentials of the beginning of the closest thing 0:11:56.880 --> 0:11:59.240 to a world war since, of course, the nineteen forties. 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:02.679 Now we know that Russia invaded Ukraine. Ukraine has a 0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:05.000 right to defend itself. They are doing so with the 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:07.920 support of the Western world, and principally with the help 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:11.240 of the United States. But a decision was made by 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:15.400 Joe Biden after the election that guaranteed that his vice 0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:18.640 president would not take over from him in the lamest duck. 0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:21.240 Part of a lame duck presidency, he has announced that 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:26.079 United States missiles can be used by Ukraine. And guess 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:29.679 what they have been. These missiles are not being fired 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:33.000 in Ukraine by Ukraine to hit the Russians that are 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:40.320 in Ukraine, these are now being fired into Russia. The 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:44.000 response from Putin is to say that this is a 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:47.800 new level of attack and potentially a nick might be 0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:52.120 the option. Of course, if that's the case. Despite the 0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:54.320 fact that Ukraine is of course not part of NATO, 0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:57.760 every country around it, with the exception of Russia, is 0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:01.079 part of NATO, one hit on a NATO country equals 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:05.640 all in. Now again, as frightening as all of this 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:07.760 scenario is, and I hope that it is just another 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:10.600 bit of Russian bluster and nothing comes of it. And 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:12.560 I am not entering into the how much and the 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:14.520 what and all the rest of it about how Ukraine 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:17.040 is going to defend itself, But could somebody please explain 0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:20.400 to me who the hell is in charge of the response, 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:23.360 Who is making sure that we do not get as 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:25.160 close to a world war as we were in the 0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:30.160 nine en forties. Literally, as we speak, Joe Biden is 0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:33.400 coming back from the G twenty, where he couldn't be 0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:36.760 bothered turning up the photo ops. They didn't even wait 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:39.400 for him, and of course, famously after he finished his speech, 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:40.959 he just wandered off into the jungle. 0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:43.240 Now, of course you know that he's following a path 0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:45.280 and ends up back in a hotel. But that's the image. 0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:48.000 That's the image of the leader of the free world 0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:51.840 at a time when Russia is saying, because of the 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:57.560 decisions of that bloke, there's a chance nukes might be involved. Meantime, 0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:00.560 the Vice President, let's imagine Joe's out to lunch, the 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:03.560 Vice president, yes, licking her wounds after an election that 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:06.760 her people and her believed was going to go her way. 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:10.280 Well, she's not in Washington. She's nowhere near the situation room. 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:11.960 In fact, she's buggered off to Hawaii. 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:15.320 She's on holidays, and she can have all the holidays 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:17.880 that she wants on January twenty, when she hands in 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:19.480 her gun and she hands in her badge. But till 0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:23.400 then you've got effectively a gone fishing sign which has 0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:24.880 been put out in the front of the White House. 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:31.040 This is extraordinary a decision to escalate that Biden refuses 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:34.000 to answer. He's an example of press trying to ask 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:36.160 him about why did you take this to the next 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:50.720 level when your time is running out? 0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:58.200 This is frightening. It truly is. 0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:00.640 Thank goodness Trump's coming, and thank good Trump is going 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:02.760 to be able to take over on the twentieth, but 0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:04.760 there's only one president, one government at a time. We'll 0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:06.880 talk about this with nine l Farage, our special guests, 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:07.880 and I make sure we have proper. 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:10.280 Time for it tonight here on Paul Murray Live. 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:14.240 You know, I always get a bit emotional when it 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:16.520 comes to subjects about kids. Why because mine are little 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:21.680 and like you, I'd die for them a thousand times over. Well, 0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:25.520 as we know, our politicians right now are having conversations 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:28.200 where it's about the social media use of kids, it's 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:32.880 about a censoring the Internet bill. Thankfully, the censoring the 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:35.120 Internet bill won't happen, and jeez, pay attention to all 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:36.640 the people that are trying to take a victory lap 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:38.600 on a story that they have barely talked about for 0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:44.560 the past two years some of the anyway, Thankfully, that's 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:47.920 not going to be an issue here. That bill's just 0:15:47.960 --> 0:15:50.160 going to die and let's see whether that vote happens. 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:51.720 We need the vote to happen otherwise that it was 0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:53.920 pull it and that hangs like a sword over everyone 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:55.520 for another twelve months, including running. 0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:55.840 Into the election. 0:15:57.480 --> 0:15:59.880 But we also learned today again another example of how 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:04.840 kids are not okay now I get it. They're too 0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:07.480 soft because of participation trophies. And by the way, their 0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:09.880 parents got participation trophies as well. They didn't just get 0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:12.240 invented in the past two years. There's been around for 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:14.200 too long, the best part of twenty years. Yes, they're 0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:17.160 too soft because of a lack of resilience for a 0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:21.240 whole collection of reasons that exist. But it's not their 0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:24.920 fault when little kids are struggling. What about this for 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:29.560 a story today? Parents, grandparents, aren't his uncle's friends. Eight 0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:33.640 year old's well, sorry, eight years old, I should say, 0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:36.600 is now the age that children start experiencing. 0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:39.400 Serious mental health declinent? What is wrong with this joint? 0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:44.680 Three million people, this close to the homelessness line, one 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:47.760 in twenty businesses and now eight years old. Is when 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:51.560 a country like Australia has a scenario where kids are 0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:54.760 starting to have serious mental health the client and a 0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:57.760 shocking report revealing that the danger age has now dropped 0:16:57.800 --> 0:17:00.200 from ten years old to eight years old. 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:01.840 Wake up, Australia. 0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:05.000 The kids are not all right and it ain't their 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:07.680 fault and we've got to do our bit to try 0:17:07.680 --> 0:17:10.560 to save them. The Smiling Mind survey of almost three 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:14.320 thousand children aged has this between four and twelve and 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:17.480 their parents. Highlights how the rising levels of stress and 0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:22.359 anxiety and parents is wearing off on their offspring. Cost 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:26.040 of living and parental responsibilities are weighing heavily on mums 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:26.840 and deaths. 0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:28.840 So here's the deal. 0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:34.240 Can you make me a promise tonight? If you are 0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:38.359 the mum, the dad, the nana, the poppa, the auntie, 0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:42.000 the cousin, or just the person who has little people 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:44.800 in your life, can you please look them in the 0:17:44.880 --> 0:17:49.320 eye and tell them that you're always here for them. 0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:51.840 They will never get in trouble for talking about how 0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:57.600 they feel and we will work through this together. If 0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:00.240 they don't want to talk to us, then can you 0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:02.560 please write this telephone number down and can you put 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:05.639 it on your fridge at home. If you've got kids 0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:10.520 or older kids or grandkids, the Kids Helpline one hundred 0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:14.760 double five one hundred free call anywhere in the country 0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:18.600 one hundred double five one eight hundred, or if the 0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:22.080 kids would prefer to text someone or do it online, 0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:24.920 go to kids Helpline dot com dot au. Write that down, 0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:28.119 put it on the fridge. How the heck did we 0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:31.600 get to the spot we're an eight year old is 0:18:31.640 --> 0:18:34.680 the new line when people start to have mental health 0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:35.480 issues in this country. 0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:36.600 Dear goodness, we. 0:18:36.560 --> 0:18:37.879 Are not a place that is in the middle of 0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:40.439 a war. We are not having a famine. There is 0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:43.720 not many of the social issues that exist. 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:45.920 Around the world. But this is the facts. 0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:48.920 And again, if you're just somebody who says, oh, that's 0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:52.520 just teaspoonful of cement and hard enough. Okay, great, cool, 0:18:52.960 --> 0:18:56.119 that's not going to work. All right, it's big, it's complicated. 0:18:56.200 --> 0:18:59.639 I can't solve it. We can't solve it quickly. But 0:18:59.840 --> 0:19:03.440 if they're in trouble, for goodness sake, let's give them 0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:05.960 the tools to be able to dig their way out. 0:19:06.040 --> 0:19:08.680 Let's give them their helping hand to pull them out, 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:10.600 or let's make sure that we throw the ladders of 0:19:10.640 --> 0:19:13.800 support their way. We love every single and if you 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:16.240 are a young person watching this, either on the Telly 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:19.760 or on a video later, we love you and we 0:19:19.880 --> 0:19:22.000 need you. And as tough as it can be, and 0:19:22.040 --> 0:19:26.200 I know it can be tough, believe me, tomorrow is better. 0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:29.200 Believe me, tomorrow is better. 0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:33.240 The Kids Helpline write the number down one hundred, double five, 0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:35.040 one hundred Kids Help line dot com dot A you 0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:38.199 strength and love to any and everyone who struggles in 0:19:38.240 --> 0:19:41.439 this country. I talk about it not because it's politically advantageous, 0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:43.239 but because it is the human thing to do, and 0:19:43.280 --> 0:19:48.320 we are that before we are anything else. A few 0:19:48.320 --> 0:19:51.720 other things worth mentioning now. Farmers, of course, of recent years, 0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:53.879 have shown themselves to be the real line in the 0:19:53.920 --> 0:19:56.399 sand when it comes to what people are willing to cop. 0:19:56.680 --> 0:19:59.440 Remember the brave Canadian farmers and truckers and their fight 0:19:59.720 --> 0:20:03.320 again since the indeacy of COVID lockdowns, and then of 0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:06.919 course of recent years, particularly French farmers but also ones 0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:11.040 wider across Europe, they were fighting back against again stupid 0:20:11.040 --> 0:20:13.560 crazy new rules. Well he's a new one that's coming 0:20:13.600 --> 0:20:14.600 our way. 0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:17.879 UK farmers. UK farmers have taken to the streets. 0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:20.720 They are pushing hard against new rules put in place 0:20:20.760 --> 0:20:24.640 by every London centric government that of course is punishing 0:20:24.680 --> 0:20:28.200 people in regional areas because they have no issue about 0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:29.920 how they vote, because they will never end up voting 0:20:30.000 --> 0:20:33.119 labor sound familiar to what happens here in Australia. One 0:20:33.160 --> 0:20:34.600 of the people who took to the streets is none 0:20:34.640 --> 0:20:38.960 other than the bloke who's sensational show on Amazon called 0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:40.600 Clarkson's Farm Jeremy Clarkson. 0:20:40.760 --> 0:20:42.720 You've got to watch this. You've really got to watch 0:20:42.720 --> 0:20:43.080 this show. 0:20:43.160 --> 0:20:45.760 He's funny, he's interesting, but most importantly he shows you 0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:48.480 the plight of life in rural areas. And you can 0:20:48.520 --> 0:20:51.920 see this is a swashbuckling bloke from London who's decided 0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:54.879 to experience that life, the people and the life we 0:20:54.960 --> 0:20:55.600 know is tough. 0:20:56.640 --> 0:20:58.440 Here is why he took to the streets. 0:21:00.040 --> 0:21:04.440 She said the past, if she'd have wanted to take 0:21:04.440 --> 0:21:07.399 out the likes of James Dyson and investment bankers and 0:21:07.440 --> 0:21:11.280 so on, she would have used a sniper's rifle. But 0:21:11.359 --> 0:21:14.040 she's used the blunderbus and she's hit all this lot. 0:21:14.920 --> 0:21:18.520 It was, as I understand it, it was a very rushed, 0:21:18.600 --> 0:21:21.640 last minute decision, and I think, you know, we all 0:21:21.640 --> 0:21:23.520 make mistakes in life, and I think it's time for 0:21:23.560 --> 0:21:25.640 them to say, you know what, we've got this one 0:21:25.720 --> 0:21:27.240 up a bit and back down. 0:21:27.520 --> 0:21:30.040 That's my view, right, that's why he's in it. 0:21:30.119 --> 0:21:32.240 Hill copped of course, in an around the rifle conversation, 0:21:32.640 --> 0:21:35.000 he is an explanation though about the wider issue and 0:21:35.040 --> 0:21:36.080 why they were protesting. 0:21:37.200 --> 0:21:39.679 Look at this. This is really chasing. I think this 0:21:39.760 --> 0:21:43.040 is farm business income. This is for cropping farm so 0:21:43.240 --> 0:21:47.080 horticulture cereals in the light over the last three years. 0:21:47.760 --> 0:21:50.879 Last year, nearly one hundred thousand pounds was the average income, 0:21:50.920 --> 0:21:53.400 not profit money coming through the door. Look at last 0:21:53.440 --> 0:21:57.200 year less than fifty thousand pounds been a dreadful year 0:21:57.240 --> 0:21:59.920 on the farm. You're only bringing in less than fifty 0:22:00.400 --> 0:22:03.920 pounds on average through the door before you account for 0:22:03.960 --> 0:22:07.000 a profit. And you've got a big tax bill annually. 0:22:07.000 --> 0:22:08.639 You've got to think where is that money going to 0:22:08.680 --> 0:22:10.720 come from? And that is where without tax planning. There 0:22:10.760 --> 0:22:14.080 are ways around this. You can pass the states on 0:22:14.119 --> 0:22:16.960
