WEBVTT - Sharri | 10 June

0:00:01.560 --> 0:00:04.479
<v Speaker 1>Why On Sky News, Vinus.

0:00:04.440 --> 0:00:05.559
<v Speaker 2>Is Sharry.

0:00:07.480 --> 0:00:10.280
<v Speaker 3>Good Evening Tonight. Los Angeles is in the middle of

0:00:10.320 --> 0:00:14.640
<v Speaker 3>another night of chaos as riots engulf the city. We'll

0:00:14.640 --> 0:00:17.759
<v Speaker 3>have the latest details as the city's left wing leaders

0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:22.320
<v Speaker 3>spend more time fighting Trump than the rioters. Add It's

0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:27.560
<v Speaker 3>so long farewell to Gretathunberg as she's deported from Israel

0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:30.880
<v Speaker 3>this after she refused to watch the October seven footage

0:00:31.080 --> 0:00:35.520
<v Speaker 3>showing just how morally bankruptcy is well. Paul Kelly saw

0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:38.960
<v Speaker 3>that vision in Israel recently, and he'll join me on

0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:43.720
<v Speaker 3>the show tonight. Will the Coalition oppose net zero? Shadow

0:00:43.840 --> 0:00:48.120
<v Speaker 3>Energy Minister Dantean will be here shortly. The Albanezy government

0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:51.879
<v Speaker 3>bans an American Jewish tech entrepreneur from entering our country,

0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:55.720
<v Speaker 3>yet turns a blind eye to hate preachers. Why has

0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:58.800
<v Speaker 3>it been left to Jewish groups to take court action

0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:04.280
<v Speaker 3>from Ambishop Calibond will be here to discuss. Plus controversy

0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:07.880
<v Speaker 3>over China's plans to build a super embassy, and the

0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:11.200
<v Speaker 3>breaking news tonight that the ABC is set to dump.

0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:11.400
<v Speaker 4>Q and A.

0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:12.800
<v Speaker 3>Will anyone miss it?

0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:16.040
<v Speaker 4>That's all coming up, but let's.

0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:19.199
<v Speaker 3>Start with Marines, who are right now moving into guard

0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:23.280
<v Speaker 3>federal buildings in Los Angeles after four days of chaos

0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:27.600
<v Speaker 3>and violence. These scenes have been despicable and embarrassing for

0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:33.679
<v Speaker 3>this world famous city. American flag satellite cars torched and looting.

0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:39.360
<v Speaker 3>Masked men were filmed throwing rocks and fireworks while activists

0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:45.000
<v Speaker 3>occupied a freeway, lit fires and cause total disarray. This

0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:49.440
<v Speaker 3>is the very picture of lawlessness and mass havoc.

0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:56.880
<v Speaker 5>Cars on fire and tensions inflamed, emotions stoked by the

0:01:56.920 --> 0:02:02.160
<v Speaker 5>President's decision to deploy the military. Here the Mexican flag

0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:06.440
<v Speaker 5>is flying and anger directed at ICE, the Immigrations and

0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:10.120
<v Speaker 5>Customs Enforcement Agency after a series of raids.

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:14.240
<v Speaker 3>And the MAYHEMI wrapted on Friday in response, as you

0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:17.359
<v Speaker 3>just heard, to a small ICE operation to deport I

0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:21.560
<v Speaker 3>legal immigrants involved in money laundering and tax evasion along

0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:26.280
<v Speaker 3>with other criminals, and it escalated from there. First two

0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:29.800
<v Speaker 3>thousand National Guards took to the streets to help keep

0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:34.360
<v Speaker 3>the peace. That number was then doubled, and now Trump

0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:37.760
<v Speaker 3>has deployed seven hundred marines to help protect the city.

0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:42.280
<v Speaker 3>But what's been so bizarre about this is the response

0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:46.880
<v Speaker 3>from Democrat politicians and much of the media. Instead of

0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:50.839
<v Speaker 3>shutting down the crime and telling the protesters to get

0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:55.520
<v Speaker 3>into line. The blame is squarely directed toward the president

0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:59.040
<v Speaker 3>of the United States. Yep, the Democrats and the media

0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:02.880
<v Speaker 3>are blaming the deployment of the National Guards for the

0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:07.960
<v Speaker 3>escalation in violence. Here's Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass saying

0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.520
<v Speaker 3>that the extra manpower isn't needed.

0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:14.040
<v Speaker 6>I was trying to make the case that the National

0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:16.440
<v Speaker 6>Guard was not needed here. I was trying to make

0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:19.000
<v Speaker 6>the case that the National Guard came here, it would

0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:21.800
<v Speaker 6>be a provocative move and it would be like a

0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:27.000
<v Speaker 6>deliberate attempt to create disorder and kios in our city.

0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:31.440
<v Speaker 3>So instead of shutting down the protests in her own city,

0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:35.880
<v Speaker 3>the mayor is telling the LAPD and the National Guard that.

0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:36.960
<v Speaker 4>They're not needed.

0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:41.560
<v Speaker 3>It's a wild idea of restoring order by asking the

0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:46.720
<v Speaker 3>police the law enforcement to stand down. Kamala Harris has

0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:50.960
<v Speaker 3>also accused Trump of provoking chaos by deploying the National Guard.

0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:54.240
<v Speaker 3>She said on social media, in addition to the recent

0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:58.040
<v Speaker 3>ice raids in southern California and across our nation, it

0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:02.280
<v Speaker 3>is part of the Trump administration's all calculated agenda to

0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:08.440
<v Speaker 3>spread panic and division and then completely absurdly. She even

0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:13.960
<v Speaker 3>claimed the protests have been peaceful. She said protest is

0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:17.880
<v Speaker 3>a powerful tool essential in the fight for justice, and

0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:21.680
<v Speaker 3>as the LAPD mayor and governor have noted, demonstrations in

0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:27.600
<v Speaker 3>defense of our immigrant neighbors have been overwhelmingly peaceful. I mean,

0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:31.599
<v Speaker 3>just wow, that is a ludicrous claim that's easily fact

0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:35.800
<v Speaker 3>checked as being one hundred percent wrong. Kamala Harris only

0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:38.279
<v Speaker 3>needs to turn on the news to see just how

0:04:38.400 --> 0:05:05.480
<v Speaker 3>peaceful the protests have been. Bort Us tom Homan said

0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:09.200
<v Speaker 3>it was wrong to suggest these protests were in any

0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:12.919
<v Speaker 3>way peaceful, and he called out the Californian leadership for

0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:14.520
<v Speaker 3>sitting on their hands.

0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:18.200
<v Speaker 7>I was there first two nights. It was out of control,

0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:21.679
<v Speaker 7>the city was burning. Governor Newsom did nothing. The mayor

0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:24.640
<v Speaker 7>did nothing. So President Trump, God bless him. He sent

0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:27.560
<v Speaker 7>in the National Garden to save property and saved lives,

0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:29.640
<v Speaker 7>and I assume for doing it.

0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:34.920
<v Speaker 3>But this is so highly political that California Governor Gavin

0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:39.360
<v Speaker 3>Newsom even claims that Trump wants a civil war on

0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:42.760
<v Speaker 3>the streets of America. And Trump then returned fire by

0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:46.640
<v Speaker 3>saying the governor is not only grossly incompetent, but he

0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:50.200
<v Speaker 3>even appeared to suggest that he could be arrested, and

0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:52.919
<v Speaker 3>that was in response to questions from journalists.

0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:54.920
<v Speaker 2>That's not what.

0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:55.640
<v Speaker 4>Trump is after.

0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:57.040
<v Speaker 2>He's not for peacemaking.

0:05:57.760 --> 0:05:59.240
<v Speaker 3>He's here for war.

0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:01.600
<v Speaker 2>It's a civil war on the streets.

0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:06.120
<v Speaker 3>So because Trump is refusing to back down on his

0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:10.479
<v Speaker 3>decision to deport illegal immigrants, and because he's standing firm

0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:14.120
<v Speaker 3>on sending in law enforcement, he's now being blamed for

0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:19.760
<v Speaker 3>inciting violence and abusing power. This is typical. It's not

0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:23.000
<v Speaker 3>the fault of the rabid mob, but it's Trump's fault

0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:28.560
<v Speaker 3>for calling in reinforcements to ensure security. Now, the President

0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:33.760
<v Speaker 3>pledged over and over again to crack down on illegal immigrants.

0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:36.520
<v Speaker 3>It was a major policy he campaigned on during the

0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:41.320
<v Speaker 3>presidential election. He couldn't have been clearer about this.

0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:46.839
<v Speaker 1>Now, I will stop the criminal invasion of our country,

0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:50.320
<v Speaker 1>the biggest problem we have right now, and I will

0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:52.440
<v Speaker 1>bring back the American dream.

0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:58.160
<v Speaker 3>So, whether you like his policy or not agree with

0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:01.839
<v Speaker 3>him or not, he does have a mandate to do this.

0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:05.799
<v Speaker 3>Foreign editor in The Australian, Greg Sheridan pointed out today

0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:09.880
<v Speaker 3>that Barack Obama deported more people than Trump did in

0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:13.560
<v Speaker 3>his first term. He writes that Obama deported almost four

0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:17.880
<v Speaker 3>hundred thousand people in twenty ten. He says half had

0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:22.480
<v Speaker 3>no criminal convictions, and Sheridan writes the Obama administration also

0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:27.520
<v Speaker 3>took tough action against businesses that knowingly employed illegal aliens.

0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:31.760
<v Speaker 3>So it's okay if Obama does it, but a crime

0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:36.600
<v Speaker 3>against humanity, crying to Heaven for vengeance if Trump does it.

0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:41.520
<v Speaker 3>And Sheridan also says that illegal immigration has run beyond

0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:45.360
<v Speaker 3>the control of democratic politics in the West and it

0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:49.800
<v Speaker 3>is a deep crisis in many countries. He writes, the

0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:54.280
<v Speaker 3>conventional center left has essentially taken a lawless.

0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:58.000
<v Speaker 4>Approach to the issue, and I think that's.

0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:00.520
<v Speaker 3>The core of the problem. That's what's led.

0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:02.400
<v Speaker 4>Us to where we are now.

0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:06.480
<v Speaker 3>Not only is California a sanctuary state, but it's been

0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:09.320
<v Speaker 3>let down by its own left leaning, soft on crime

0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:12.800
<v Speaker 3>leadership over such a long period of time that the

0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:16.800
<v Speaker 3>entire cities in disarray, and it's become in some cases

0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:21.960
<v Speaker 3>in some areas, an unpalatable place to live. The wok

0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:25.960
<v Speaker 3>agenda has killed it. And it's these conditions that have

0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:30.680
<v Speaker 3>meant that criminals and protesters don't think they have to

0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:34.720
<v Speaker 3>obey the law, that it wouldn't be enforced anyway, and

0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:38.400
<v Speaker 3>that they're within their rights to run riot and loot stores.

0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:42.480
<v Speaker 3>But of course, the other issue is that while Trump

0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:45.720
<v Speaker 3>does have a legitimate claim to deport to legal immigrants

0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:49.000
<v Speaker 3>as he said he was going to do, we're just

0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:55.280
<v Speaker 3>seeing constant chaos during his presidency. These riots, the trade

0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:59.440
<v Speaker 3>tariff uproar, the fight with Elon Musk, the oval office

0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:04.200
<v Speaker 3>spectacle with President Zelenski. It's an administration that seems to

0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:09.520
<v Speaker 3>thrive on drama. In a world teetering on uncertainty, more

0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:14.200
<v Speaker 3>stability and calm authority would not just be welcome, but

0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:21.000
<v Speaker 3>it'd be the smartest move from the president going forward.

0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:27.160
<v Speaker 3>And it's so long, farewell, farewell, and goodbye to Gretathunberg

0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:31.520
<v Speaker 3>as she's shown the door by Israel and officially deported

0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:34.360
<v Speaker 3>out of the country. As you may have heard, Greta

0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:36.959
<v Speaker 3>Thunberg has refused to watch the forty five minutes of

0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:43.160
<v Speaker 3>footage of hermas massacring innocent Israeli families on October seven,

0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:46.240
<v Speaker 3>And that tells you everything you need to know about

0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:51.440
<v Speaker 3>Greta and her group of self obsessed attention seekers, because

0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:56.840
<v Speaker 3>that footage shows children being murdered in their cots, women

0:09:56.960 --> 0:10:01.120
<v Speaker 3>being mutilated and parents being killed right in front of

0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:04.800
<v Speaker 3>their loved ones. It's too graphic to broadcast on NAN

0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:07.120
<v Speaker 3>and I do think that's a shame. But one of

0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:10.360
<v Speaker 3>my guests tonight, the Australians Editor at Large, Paul Kelly,

0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:13.520
<v Speaker 3>watched it just over a week ago when he was

0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:15.920
<v Speaker 3>in Israel, and I'm going to speak to him about

0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:19.720
<v Speaker 3>his trip shortly. But watching that footage would mean that

0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:22.840
<v Speaker 3>Greta Thunberg would have to face the reality that Israel

0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:26.920
<v Speaker 3>is trying to defeat her muss a terror group that

0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:33.040
<v Speaker 3>committed an unfathomable genocide and barbaric atrocities on October seven,

0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:36.480
<v Speaker 3>and that ever since then, Israel has been desperately trying

0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:40.439
<v Speaker 3>to bring home the two hundred and fifty innocent people

0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:47.080
<v Speaker 3>taken hostage. Kidnapped, yes, actually kidnapped, not kidnapped like Greta

0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:49.800
<v Speaker 3>claims she was kidnapped when she was given a sandwich

0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:54.760
<v Speaker 3>and water and brought to safety, but kidnapped like Shiri

0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:58.080
<v Speaker 3>Bibas was as she was dragged away from her home

0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:04.120
<v Speaker 3>while desperately trying to keep her two beautiful babies, Kafir

0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:09.360
<v Speaker 3>and Ariel safe. As you know, they were then murdered

0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:15.160
<v Speaker 3>by her mus the children killed by bare hands. Palestinian

0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:19.160
<v Speaker 3>families had a fun day out, celebrating as the coffins

0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:22.800
<v Speaker 3>were paraded on a her Musk stage in a murderous,

0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:28.760
<v Speaker 3>grotesque spectacle. We all cried when their bodies were brought

0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:33.120
<v Speaker 3>home to Israel. That is what it looks like to

0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:38.640
<v Speaker 3>be actually kidnapped. Mia Chem knows something about kidnapping two,

0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:44.800
<v Speaker 3>as does Elie Sharabi and Rachel and John Goldberg Pollen.

0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:49.960
<v Speaker 3>It's an insult that Greta claimed she'd been kidnapped, and

0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:52.640
<v Speaker 3>now today it's emerged that one of the figures behind

0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:58.600
<v Speaker 3>Greta's flotilla may have ties to her. Muss Zaharbarawi had

0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:01.920
<v Speaker 3>been accused in the UK and in Israel of being

0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:05.560
<v Speaker 3>a Hermas operative, and he's one of the organizers of

0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:11.040
<v Speaker 3>that freedom flotilla coalition. Now Birawi denies this, but British

0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:14.280
<v Speaker 3>Labor and p Christian Wakeford accused Burrawi in twenty twenty

0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:19.880
<v Speaker 3>three under parliamentary privilege of being a Hermas operative. He

0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:24.239
<v Speaker 3>also claimed he'd hosted an event in London called Understanding Hermas,

0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:29.160
<v Speaker 3>and as you can see, he's been photographed with Ismael Honeyer.

0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:33.160
<v Speaker 3>That's Hermas's former political leader who was killed in that

0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:39.360
<v Speaker 3>famous attack by Israel in Tehran last year. Now this

0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:43.160
<v Speaker 3>isn't surprising to learn of the likely or possible connections

0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:48.440
<v Speaker 3>to hamas anyone campaigning so strongly for Israel's destruction is

0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:51.679
<v Speaker 3>only doing so to the benefit of a terror group.

0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:55.439
<v Speaker 3>And as for Greta and her crew, well, they've been

0:12:55.480 --> 0:13:01.240
<v Speaker 3>sent home from Israel having achieved absolutely nothing except for

0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:07.319
<v Speaker 3>humiliating themselves on the world stage. Their self indulgent virtue

0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:14.160
<v Speaker 3>signaling publicity trip is now over, and the tiny, inconsequential

0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:17.160
<v Speaker 3>amount of aid they brought in will make no difference

0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:21.000
<v Speaker 3>to the millions of meals Israel is handing out directly

0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:25.720
<v Speaker 3>to Palestinians, free from the problematic intervention of the United Nations,

0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:30.439
<v Speaker 3>which only served to prop up her muss. But as

0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:34.480
<v Speaker 3>I said last night, hatred of Israel and by extension,

0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:39.960
<v Speaker 3>Israeli's and Jews is becoming fashionable in left wing media

0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:46.040
<v Speaker 3>and political circles. The hatred driven by distorted narratives, propaganda

0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:50.000
<v Speaker 3>and false claims. It would have been wise for Greta

0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:54.120
<v Speaker 3>and her group to actually watch the footage of what

0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:59.520
<v Speaker 3>unfolded on October seven, But that would have been confronting reality,

0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:03.959
<v Speaker 3>which she and others on the left are loath to do.

0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:08.719
<v Speaker 1>Now.

0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:11.400
<v Speaker 3>We spoke last night about how the alban Eezy government

0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:16.040
<v Speaker 3>has banned American tech entrepreneur Hillel Food from coming to Australia.

0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:20.120
<v Speaker 3>They claim this is because of hate speech, despite the

0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:23.160
<v Speaker 3>fact he told me last night he planned to speak

0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:24.160
<v Speaker 3>about innovation.

0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:30.000
<v Speaker 8>The topic of my talk wasn't even politics or anything

0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:31.840
<v Speaker 8>to do with gods or anything like that. I was

0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:34.560
<v Speaker 8>there to talk about how Israel and Israeli innovation is

0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:36.160
<v Speaker 8>changing the world and making the word a better place.

0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:37.680
<v Speaker 8>What's inflammatory about that?

0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:43.920
<v Speaker 3>Exactly? So, Tony Burt cancels this highly respected businessman's visa,

0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:47.920
<v Speaker 3>yet has not lifted a finger to deal with hate preachers,

0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:51.320
<v Speaker 3>some of whom are in his own electorate. Instead, it's

0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:55.000
<v Speaker 3>been left to Jewish groups to take civil action in court.

0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:59.600
<v Speaker 3>Australia's racial vilification speech laws will now be put to

0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:03.640
<v Speaker 3>the test. The Executive Council of Australian Jury's case against

0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:08.840
<v Speaker 3>hate preacher with some Haddad began in court today.

0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:13.000
<v Speaker 9>The court heard the preacher delivered five speeches in November

0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:16.640
<v Speaker 9>twenty twenty three, in which he's accused of preaching section

0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:20.320
<v Speaker 9>eighteen c of the Racial Vilification Act because they were

0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:25.720
<v Speaker 9>reasonably likely to offend, insult, to humiliate or intimidate Australian Jews.

0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:28.760
<v Speaker 9>In one speech played to the court, Jews are described

0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:33.320
<v Speaker 9>as mischievous, that they have their hands everywhere in business media,

0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:36.880
<v Speaker 9>and he preached about Muslims killing Jews towards the.

0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:40.160
<v Speaker 10>End the times, when the Muslims will be fighting the Jews,

0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:45.840
<v Speaker 10>the trees will speak, the soul will speak, and they'll say, oh, Muslim,

0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:49.040
<v Speaker 10>O believer, there is a Yahudi behind me, Come and

0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:49.560
<v Speaker 10>kill him.

0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:54.080
<v Speaker 3>I mean, surely it shouldn't be left to Jewish groups

0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:57.720
<v Speaker 3>to take and fund action here. Yet this is how

0:15:57.840 --> 0:16:01.840
<v Speaker 3>weak our leadership is in US Astralia. Now to further

0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:04.080
<v Speaker 3>discuss this, let's bring in now the former Speaker of

0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:06.840
<v Speaker 3>the House Brhman Bishop and Sky News host Caleb Bond.

0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:09.040
<v Speaker 4>Welcome to you both, Bron.

0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:12.720
<v Speaker 3>When this is so hypocritical from the Albanese government, isn't

0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:16.680
<v Speaker 3>it to deny entry for three years to an American

0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:20.600
<v Speaker 3>Israeli yet take no action against hate preachers?

0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:24.840
<v Speaker 11>Of course it is, but right from the first instance,

0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:28.720
<v Speaker 11>when they took no action at all about what happened

0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:32.600
<v Speaker 11>at the opera House. Right from that moment they signaled

0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:36.160
<v Speaker 11>that we're just not going to have anything to do

0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:39.240
<v Speaker 11>with it, that it's somehow okay for this to go on.

0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:43.120
<v Speaker 11>And it's got worse and worse. The university's taking over

0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:47.160
<v Speaker 11>this mantra. And if you go back in history nineteen

0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:50.200
<v Speaker 11>thirty three, himlu and Gurry knew they had to capture

0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:53.200
<v Speaker 11>the youth, and they went first to the University of

0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:56.160
<v Speaker 11>Frankfort because they knew that was a liberal one and

0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:58.760
<v Speaker 11>if it fell over, the rest would fallover. It's exactly

0:16:58.800 --> 0:17:03.560
<v Speaker 11>what happened. And so it became you use the word fashionable,

0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:09.040
<v Speaker 11>it became okay, it became appreciate, years normalized, and that's

0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:12.119
<v Speaker 11>what's happening in this country. And unless the government takes

0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:16.680
<v Speaker 11>a strong stand, then it will continue to be normalized

0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:19.600
<v Speaker 11>and our country will be torn to shreds. It just

0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:22.160
<v Speaker 11>is totally unacceptable to.

0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:23.120
<v Speaker 3>Have this sort of.

0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:29.399
<v Speaker 11>Build up of what is so ugly, which is so

0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:34.280
<v Speaker 11>destructive within our own land. To see it allowed to

0:17:34.400 --> 0:17:38.040
<v Speaker 11>happen here because government simply will not take a stand

0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:42.960
<v Speaker 11>so hypocritical is an almost too kind a word. It

0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:49.879
<v Speaker 11>is the personification of weakness of determination to try and

0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:53.359
<v Speaker 11>compromise in a situation where compromise is not welcome.

0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:56.240
<v Speaker 3>I just feel like every day when it's another matter

0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:59.800
<v Speaker 3>like this, I feel despair, Caleb. I mean, how can

0:17:59.840 --> 0:18:02.320
<v Speaker 3>this be the case? How can this be the country

0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:05.960
<v Speaker 3>we're living in? When hillel Ford is denied a visa

0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:06.720
<v Speaker 3>well with.

0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:11.879
<v Speaker 1>No good reason, clearly, but social division seems to be

0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:15.560
<v Speaker 1>a specialty of this federal government. As Bromwin said, you know,

0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:18.440
<v Speaker 1>right from the steps of the Opera House, nothing has

0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:20.680
<v Speaker 1>been done, and you get to the point where you

0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:23.119
<v Speaker 1>have this case now being run in the courts, and

0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:25.920
<v Speaker 1>I'll declare that I've never thought aighteen c should exist,

0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:28.600
<v Speaker 1>but that is the only recourse that has now been

0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:31.040
<v Speaker 1>available to do anything about this. I mean, when you've

0:18:31.040 --> 0:18:35.520
<v Speaker 1>got someone preaching about killing Jews, I mean, surely that

0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:39.119
<v Speaker 1>is incitement to violence, and they've never taken the opportunity

0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:41.240
<v Speaker 1>to go after that. So it now has to be

0:18:41.320 --> 0:18:44.359
<v Speaker 1>run through the civil courts. Both the state and federal

0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:47.080
<v Speaker 1>governments I think have been lax on this. They've done

0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:50.080
<v Speaker 1>very little to actually stem this issue. There's been no

0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:53.960
<v Speaker 1>appetite from law enforcement to charge someone and run one

0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:57.080
<v Speaker 1>of these cases. And I've always argued that you have

0:18:57.200 --> 0:19:00.200
<v Speaker 1>to do it, even if the case fails in court,

0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:03.240
<v Speaker 1>run the criminal case and see how it goes, because

0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:05.840
<v Speaker 1>if it fails, there will then be a mandate to

0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:08.560
<v Speaker 1>do something about it. But no one's had the guts

0:19:08.560 --> 0:19:08.959
<v Speaker 1>to do it.

0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:09.959
<v Speaker 11>Absolutely.

0:19:10.000 --> 0:19:14.240
<v Speaker 3>Indeed, now we've been speaking about Trump's illegal immigration, which

0:19:14.280 --> 0:19:16.800
<v Speaker 3>is in the spotlight, but this fascinating story in the

0:19:16.840 --> 0:19:20.160
<v Speaker 3>Financial Review today reports at one hundred and eighty three

0:19:20.240 --> 0:19:23.600
<v Speaker 3>people on ten boats have arrived since the start of

0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:27.280
<v Speaker 3>the financial year. This is Home Affairs data, and they

0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:29.359
<v Speaker 3>say it's on track to be the highest number of

0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:34.040
<v Speaker 3>boats since twenty thirteen. I mean, Ronman, this is enormous.

0:19:34.119 --> 0:19:36.159
<v Speaker 3>It should be a major issue, and it's not.

0:19:37.119 --> 0:19:40.720
<v Speaker 11>We need Ray Hadley back wringing the bell every boat

0:19:40.800 --> 0:19:46.240
<v Speaker 11>arrives because the Labor Party has tried to cloak itself

0:19:47.280 --> 0:19:50.520
<v Speaker 11>in clothing that it doesn't belong to them. They're using

0:19:50.600 --> 0:19:53.640
<v Speaker 11>language that doesn't belong to them. They said, oh, yes,

0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:58.600
<v Speaker 11>we've agreed with the coalition's policy or coalition government's policy,

0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:01.200
<v Speaker 11>turned back the boats. The whole process that was put

0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:05.040
<v Speaker 11>in place that stopped the votes, but then they started

0:20:05.040 --> 0:20:09.159
<v Speaker 11>to dismantle it gently so the people didn't notice. So

0:20:09.440 --> 0:20:12.880
<v Speaker 11>whenever there's an election and they know that this government

0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:16.000
<v Speaker 11>is weak, the smugglers know this government is weak on

0:20:16.119 --> 0:20:19.520
<v Speaker 11>the question of boat arrivals, they then start to push

0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:23.199
<v Speaker 11>the envelope again. And that's exactly what's happening. So it

0:20:23.280 --> 0:20:26.320
<v Speaker 11>does need to be highlighted because the more it's pushed

0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:31.480
<v Speaker 11>under the carpet and not talked about every day, then

0:20:31.520 --> 0:20:32.600
<v Speaker 11>it will increase.

0:20:33.119 --> 0:20:36.359
<v Speaker 3>And what I think so worrying about this story Caleb

0:20:36.600 --> 0:20:38.359
<v Speaker 3>in the fin Review is that they went to Tony

0:20:38.400 --> 0:20:41.040
<v Speaker 3>Burke for comment and he wouldn't comments. We actually don't

0:20:41.080 --> 0:20:44.040
<v Speaker 3>know what precisely has happened to these votes.

0:20:44.240 --> 0:20:47.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, he's a legal voter rivals precisely. Why would they

0:20:47.080 --> 0:20:49.119
<v Speaker 1>want to tell us because we might actually learn something

0:20:49.119 --> 0:20:51.040
<v Speaker 1>in that and that would be bad. I mean, you

0:20:51.080 --> 0:20:52.840
<v Speaker 1>have to wonder how much of this goes back to

0:20:52.840 --> 0:20:56.040
<v Speaker 1>the n ZYQ case as well, because if the government

0:20:56.160 --> 0:20:59.320
<v Speaker 1>looks weak, people will try it on. We've had cases

0:20:59.359 --> 0:21:02.320
<v Speaker 1>where people have made land and the only way we've

0:21:02.320 --> 0:21:05.439
<v Speaker 1>found out about it is because the local Aboriginal people

0:21:05.600 --> 0:21:08.480
<v Speaker 1>have been flying drones about and gone Oh, hang on

0:21:08.560 --> 0:21:10.960
<v Speaker 1>a minute. Who were these people? Why are they there?

0:21:11.240 --> 0:21:13.760
<v Speaker 1>And they've tipped off the authorities. I mean, who knows

0:21:13.760 --> 0:21:15.480
<v Speaker 1>how many other people could have made land and we

0:21:15.520 --> 0:21:17.399
<v Speaker 1>don't even know about them. They could be floating around

0:21:17.400 --> 0:21:18.360
<v Speaker 1>somewhere in the country.

0:21:19.200 --> 0:21:21.360
<v Speaker 3>The message back exactly.

0:21:21.200 --> 0:21:24.360
<v Speaker 1>You send the message of weakness and people will give

0:21:24.400 --> 0:21:26.000
<v Speaker 1>it a go. We'll talk about a story tonight on

0:21:26.280 --> 0:21:29.040
<v Speaker 1>the Late Debate about the courts intervening in another one

0:21:29.080 --> 0:21:31.680
<v Speaker 1>of these cases where the government tried to deport them,

0:21:31.800 --> 0:21:33.960
<v Speaker 1>but they did it three years after the offense. So

0:21:34.000 --> 0:21:37.000
<v Speaker 1>the court said, we'll get your act together time and again.

0:21:37.200 --> 0:21:39.800
<v Speaker 1>The message is sent that we are weak when it

0:21:39.840 --> 0:21:42.840
<v Speaker 1>comes to migration and law. So why wouldn't you have

0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:44.160
<v Speaker 1>a go at getting exactly?

0:21:44.760 --> 0:21:47.160
<v Speaker 3>I spoke before about how this issue is playing out

0:21:47.200 --> 0:21:50.000
<v Speaker 3>in the United States with the violent riots in Los

0:21:50.040 --> 0:21:54.919
<v Speaker 3>Angeles bron When do you think Trump's actions in enforcing

0:21:54.960 --> 0:21:58.000
<v Speaker 3>the law. I mean that it might be heavy handed.

0:21:58.359 --> 0:22:01.720
<v Speaker 3>We don't know the actual tree by the ice officers.

0:22:01.760 --> 0:22:03.960
<v Speaker 3>But do you think this is fair enough or do

0:22:04.000 --> 0:22:05.400
<v Speaker 3>you think he's been too harsh here?

0:22:05.920 --> 0:22:08.280
<v Speaker 11>No, I don't think he's been too harsh because I

0:22:08.320 --> 0:22:15.080
<v Speaker 11>can well remember the chaos that occurred in twenty twenty

0:22:15.600 --> 0:22:19.959
<v Speaker 11>with the Black Lives Matter riots that just spread right

0:22:20.040 --> 0:22:22.720
<v Speaker 11>across the country, very sick and nothing was done to

0:22:22.760 --> 0:22:27.399
<v Speaker 11>stop them. And he's I think, taking to nip it

0:22:27.440 --> 0:22:31.080
<v Speaker 11>in the bug and in Los Angeles, you've got to

0:22:31.080 --> 0:22:34.240
<v Speaker 11>expect it's going to happen there. But by taking a

0:22:34.320 --> 0:22:37.080
<v Speaker 11>strong stance and saying no, it's not going to happen again,

0:22:37.080 --> 0:22:39.480
<v Speaker 11>We're not going to have this behavior again. I think

0:22:39.480 --> 0:22:40.240
<v Speaker 11>that was sensible.

0:22:40.920 --> 0:22:43.720
<v Speaker 3>We just hope it doesn't escalate and that no one

0:22:43.800 --> 0:22:47.720
<v Speaker 3>is actually killed. Just finally, reports tonight in the City

0:22:47.760 --> 0:22:50.879
<v Speaker 3>Morning Herald that ABC is planning to acts Q and A,

0:22:51.040 --> 0:22:54.800
<v Speaker 3>the political TV show on a Monday night. This comes

0:22:54.800 --> 0:22:58.800
<v Speaker 3>a day after ten scrapped the project. Caleb, is anyone

0:22:58.840 --> 0:22:59.720
<v Speaker 3>going to miss Q and A?

0:23:00.119 --> 0:23:02.199
<v Speaker 1>Probably not having look, you know again, it has to

0:23:02.200 --> 0:23:04.240
<v Speaker 1>be said, as many said last night, that it's sad

0:23:04.280 --> 0:23:07.439
<v Speaker 1>to see another current affairs programs disappear from television. But

0:23:07.520 --> 0:23:09.439
<v Speaker 1>Q and A is just not fit for purpose anymore.

0:23:09.440 --> 0:23:11.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there was a time when it first started

0:23:12.320 --> 0:23:15.439
<v Speaker 1>under Tony Jones' hosting where it was pulling a million

0:23:15.520 --> 0:23:19.320
<v Speaker 1>viewers every episode, and it was a place for public

0:23:19.400 --> 0:23:23.800
<v Speaker 1>debate about serious issues facing the country with people from

0:23:23.800 --> 0:23:27.680
<v Speaker 1>a broad political spectrum. It's just become these days a

0:23:27.800 --> 0:23:30.480
<v Speaker 1>love in for lefties. People are not watching it because

0:23:30.480 --> 0:23:34.120
<v Speaker 1>it's not actually debating the issues that matter to everyday Australians,

0:23:34.240 --> 0:23:35.240
<v Speaker 1>so there's no purpose for it.

0:23:37.480 --> 0:23:37.520
<v Speaker 12>No.

0:23:37.800 --> 0:23:40.080
<v Speaker 3>Indeed, I think a lot of those shows, well, most

0:23:40.119 --> 0:23:43.960
<v Speaker 3>of the shows on the ABC are too biased, left leaning,

0:23:44.080 --> 0:23:44.840
<v Speaker 3>no diversity of.

0:23:44.840 --> 0:23:46.240
<v Speaker 4>Views and it's a big problem.

0:23:46.400 --> 0:23:48.960
<v Speaker 3>Calebon from a bishop, so great to have you both,

0:23:49.480 --> 0:23:53.600
<v Speaker 3>pleasure now. The coalition's position on net zero is emerging

0:23:53.600 --> 0:23:57.159
<v Speaker 3>as a major point of contention since the election. The

0:23:57.240 --> 0:24:00.280
<v Speaker 3>Liberal Party in particular is in disarray over what its

0:24:00.280 --> 0:24:04.760
<v Speaker 3>policy should be. Moderate Liberals are adamant net zero should

0:24:04.760 --> 0:24:08.080
<v Speaker 3>be maintained, but Conservatives say it needs.

0:24:07.880 --> 0:24:08.520
<v Speaker 4>To be dumped.

0:24:08.960 --> 0:24:12.199
<v Speaker 3>This is a feel that Energy Minister Energy Shadow Minister

0:24:12.280 --> 0:24:14.560
<v Speaker 3>Dantean is going to have to deal with and he

0:24:14.640 --> 0:24:18.560
<v Speaker 3>joins me live now, Dan, great to see you again. Well,

0:24:18.600 --> 0:24:22.560
<v Speaker 3>what will the coalition's position be on net zero?

0:24:25.480 --> 0:24:28.840
<v Speaker 12>Well, Shahi, we're going to make sure that we do

0:24:29.000 --> 0:24:33.880
<v Speaker 12>the work that the Labor government clearly didn't do. Before

0:24:33.960 --> 0:24:38.080
<v Speaker 12>we set our energy and emissions reduction target. We found

0:24:38.080 --> 0:24:42.679
<v Speaker 12>out during the last election campaign that the modeling, the

0:24:42.760 --> 0:24:47.800
<v Speaker 12>reputech modeling that the government based all their work on

0:24:48.320 --> 0:24:52.960
<v Speaker 12>is now worthless. It's not worth the paper that it

0:24:53.119 --> 0:24:56.520
<v Speaker 12>was written on. And so what we're now seeing is

0:24:56.720 --> 0:25:00.840
<v Speaker 12>electricity prices going up, We're seeing gas prices going up,

0:25:01.119 --> 0:25:06.360
<v Speaker 12>We're seeing emissions flat lining. We're seeing major industrial players

0:25:06.359 --> 0:25:11.920
<v Speaker 12>in this country, like the Tomago aluminum smelter, under serious

0:25:12.040 --> 0:25:16.240
<v Speaker 12>threat of closing. And it seems that the only way

0:25:16.440 --> 0:25:21.720
<v Speaker 12>now that the government is going to achieve its target

0:25:22.160 --> 0:25:26.520
<v Speaker 12>of net zero by twenty fifty is basically by threatening

0:25:26.720 --> 0:25:31.480
<v Speaker 12>the energy security of this nation. Now, that is not

0:25:31.640 --> 0:25:34.639
<v Speaker 12>the approach that the coalition is going to take, and

0:25:34.680 --> 0:25:39.400
<v Speaker 12>we're going to take the time, do proper modeling, understand

0:25:39.520 --> 0:25:42.480
<v Speaker 12>the costs, the costs of what the government are doing.

0:25:42.480 --> 0:25:46.000
<v Speaker 3>Shouldn't you have done for the last election. Should you

0:25:46.080 --> 0:25:47.240
<v Speaker 3>have already done this modeling.

0:25:49.480 --> 0:25:53.000
<v Speaker 12>Well, look, obviously we did work in the lead up

0:25:53.040 --> 0:25:57.280
<v Speaker 12>to the last election, and we took a comprehensive nuclear

0:25:57.320 --> 0:26:01.159
<v Speaker 12>policy for instance, to the Australian people. But we have

0:26:01.280 --> 0:26:05.400
<v Speaker 12>to understand the outcome of that election, and we've got

0:26:05.400 --> 0:26:09.440
<v Speaker 12>to now look at what we will do going forward.

0:26:09.480 --> 0:26:12.600
<v Speaker 12>Because you have to remember there will be another three

0:26:12.680 --> 0:26:19.000
<v Speaker 12>years down the track of Chris Bowen's ideologically driven renewables

0:26:19.160 --> 0:26:23.920
<v Speaker 12>only approach, and where that leaves this country I think

0:26:24.640 --> 0:26:28.440
<v Speaker 12>is in grave threat with regards to our energy security,

0:26:28.480 --> 0:26:32.280
<v Speaker 12>grave threats with regards to increased electricity and gas courses.

0:26:32.400 --> 0:26:35.800
<v Speaker 3>For you to mount a coherent argument and attack the

0:26:35.840 --> 0:26:38.080
<v Speaker 3>government and Chris Bowen as you need to do when

0:26:38.119 --> 0:26:41.399
<v Speaker 3>you don't have your own position sided and we've heard

0:26:42.520 --> 0:26:46.080
<v Speaker 3>articulated in the public domain very firmly held views from

0:26:46.119 --> 0:26:49.359
<v Speaker 3>both miderate and conservative liberals. So how will you settle

0:26:49.359 --> 0:26:52.920
<v Speaker 3>on a position that the party can unify behind.

0:26:55.359 --> 0:26:59.520
<v Speaker 12>Well, I'm going to put a process in place whereby

0:26:59.600 --> 0:27:03.199
<v Speaker 12>we make sure that we're consulting out in the community,

0:27:03.320 --> 0:27:07.800
<v Speaker 12>we're consulting with experts, and we're taking all the very

0:27:07.920 --> 0:27:11.639
<v Speaker 12>best advice as to what our energy policy and what

0:27:11.720 --> 0:27:16.400
<v Speaker 12>our emissions reduction policy should be. Now we have time

0:27:16.800 --> 0:27:19.840
<v Speaker 12>to make sure we get that right, because I don't

0:27:19.880 --> 0:27:22.879
<v Speaker 12>want to be in a position do you have wearing.

0:27:22.560 --> 0:27:26.159
<v Speaker 3>Golf when you are going to arrive at a position

0:27:26.200 --> 0:27:27.040
<v Speaker 3>on that zero.

0:27:29.320 --> 0:27:32.560
<v Speaker 12>Look, when we've got it right, when we've got the

0:27:32.600 --> 0:27:36.439
<v Speaker 12>policy in place that we can take to the Australian

0:27:36.520 --> 0:27:40.960
<v Speaker 12>people with confidence that we will be able to guarantee

0:27:40.960 --> 0:27:46.000
<v Speaker 12>their energy security, keep electricity prices down, keep gas prices down,

0:27:46.400 --> 0:27:50.080
<v Speaker 12>and make sure that we've got a pathway to sustainably

0:27:50.480 --> 0:27:54.800
<v Speaker 12>reduce emissions, and we will present to the Australian people

0:27:54.840 --> 0:27:55.600
<v Speaker 12>in good time.

0:27:55.880 --> 0:27:57.760
<v Speaker 3>Do you personally support net zero?

0:28:00.040 --> 0:28:02.880
<v Speaker 12>I personally support net zero, but not at any cost,

0:28:02.960 --> 0:28:06.480
<v Speaker 12>Sharhi and I want to make sure that the costs

0:28:06.600 --> 0:28:09.280
<v Speaker 12>are clear and that we know that the best way

0:28:09.560 --> 0:28:12.760
<v Speaker 12>that we should be reducing emissions, and I can tell

0:28:12.800 --> 0:28:15.240
<v Speaker 12>you it won't be the way that Chris Bohne is

0:28:15.240 --> 0:28:18.280
<v Speaker 12>doing it is doing it.

0:28:18.359 --> 0:28:21.480
<v Speaker 3>Our preference would be to maintain a commitment to it

0:28:22.000 --> 0:28:23.600
<v Speaker 3>if the figures out up.

0:28:25.520 --> 0:28:25.760
<v Speaker 11>Well.

0:28:25.880 --> 0:28:28.439
<v Speaker 12>What I've said is if we can find a way

0:28:28.680 --> 0:28:33.439
<v Speaker 12>which doesn't de industrialize this country, which enables us to

0:28:33.560 --> 0:28:38.280
<v Speaker 12>keep downward pressure on electricity prices and on gas prices,

0:28:38.760 --> 0:28:43.200
<v Speaker 12>and it means that we can continue to have aluminium smeltering,

0:28:43.280 --> 0:28:46.760
<v Speaker 12>we can continue to have steel production, we can continue

0:28:46.760 --> 0:28:51.080
<v Speaker 12>to have cement production, and we can make sure that

0:28:51.440 --> 0:28:55.760
<v Speaker 12>competitively we can reduce our emissions along with the rest

0:28:55.800 --> 0:28:59.360
<v Speaker 12>of the world. Absolutely, that's what we should be seeking

0:28:59.440 --> 0:29:02.160
<v Speaker 12>to do, but we've got to make sure that we

0:29:02.360 --> 0:29:06.239
<v Speaker 12>have policies in place which enable us to do that.

0:29:06.400 --> 0:29:10.560
<v Speaker 12>And this is not an area where you can use

0:29:10.600 --> 0:29:14.880
<v Speaker 12>a model like the government used reputech modeling, which they

0:29:14.960 --> 0:29:18.760
<v Speaker 12>have now had to walk away from. So they're basically

0:29:18.840 --> 0:29:23.640
<v Speaker 12>the whole basis of their energy policy is now based

0:29:23.680 --> 0:29:28.840
<v Speaker 12>on nothing but a failed report that they did in opposition,

0:29:28.880 --> 0:29:32.720
<v Speaker 12>which they said was the best modeling that had ever

0:29:32.760 --> 0:29:37.200
<v Speaker 12>been done in opposition by anyone, and now they are

0:29:37.280 --> 0:29:41.200
<v Speaker 12>left with a bit of paper that isn't worth the

0:29:41.280 --> 0:29:42.320
<v Speaker 12>paper that it's written on.

0:29:42.760 --> 0:29:44.640
<v Speaker 3>All Right, Dantine, we look forward to having you on

0:29:44.680 --> 0:29:47.440
<v Speaker 3>the show again as you continue to work through this process.

0:29:47.480 --> 0:29:48.640
<v Speaker 4>Thank you very much for your time.

0:29:49.440 --> 0:29:52.200
<v Speaker 3>Now still to Carme Alban Eazy Wan's journalists not to

0:29:52.280 --> 0:29:55.760
<v Speaker 3>criticize China. I mean this is next level censorship. And

0:29:55.840 --> 0:29:59.280
<v Speaker 3>one of Australia's most eminent journalists, Paul Kelly, joins me

0:29:59.400 --> 0:30:03.680
<v Speaker 3>live after watching the Hamas footage that Greta Thunberg refused.

0:30:03.880 --> 0:30:05.160
<v Speaker 4>That's up next.

0:30:09.600 --> 0:30:14.240
<v Speaker 3>Some breaking news now, there's devastating news breaking from Austria tonight,

0:30:14.280 --> 0:30:17.760
<v Speaker 3>with the BBC reporting that nine people have been murdered

0:30:18.000 --> 0:30:20.200
<v Speaker 3>in a high school shooting in the city of Graz.

0:30:20.640 --> 0:30:24.000
<v Speaker 3>It's thought seven of those were killed. Seven of those

0:30:24.000 --> 0:30:27.440
<v Speaker 3>who were killed were school students, one an adult, and

0:30:27.480 --> 0:30:30.760
<v Speaker 3>the maze saying that the gunman has also been killed.

0:30:30.800 --> 0:30:34.080
<v Speaker 3>It's believed he was a fellow student. Will bring you

0:30:34.280 --> 0:30:37.520
<v Speaker 3>more news as it comes through. Terrible news there out

0:30:37.520 --> 0:30:41.600
<v Speaker 3>of Austria, a school shooting right The Australians Editor at Large,

0:30:41.640 --> 0:30:44.560
<v Speaker 3>Paul Kelly recently spent a week in Israel on a

0:30:44.600 --> 0:30:47.840
<v Speaker 3>trip of editors and senior journalists. He was also accompanied

0:30:47.840 --> 0:30:51.000
<v Speaker 3>by a former Treasurer, Josh Friedenberg, and they met with

0:30:51.080 --> 0:30:56.200
<v Speaker 3>senior officials, including Israeli President Isaac Hertzog. Now, Paul is

0:30:56.240 --> 0:31:00.120
<v Speaker 3>one of Australia's pre eminent journalists and deep thinkers, and

0:31:00.120 --> 0:31:03.440
<v Speaker 3>in the Weekend Australian he wrote a profoundly thought provoking

0:31:03.560 --> 0:31:07.640
<v Speaker 3>article weighing up the contentious issues that Israel faces both

0:31:07.720 --> 0:31:11.840
<v Speaker 3>internally and abroad. And I'm thrilled to say Paul joins me.

0:31:12.240 --> 0:31:14.480
<v Speaker 4>Now, Paul, thank you very much for your.

0:31:14.360 --> 0:31:19.320
<v Speaker 3>Time personally, What are your reflections on this trip, On

0:31:19.360 --> 0:31:22.040
<v Speaker 3>this visit to Israel, You've of course been before, but

0:31:22.120 --> 0:31:25.360
<v Speaker 3>in the wake of October seven and when Israel is

0:31:25.360 --> 0:31:27.880
<v Speaker 3>in the midst of this existential war.

0:31:28.240 --> 0:31:29.480
<v Speaker 4>How did you find the trip?

0:31:29.800 --> 0:31:33.200
<v Speaker 2>I think two main impressions, Shari. First of all, Israel

0:31:33.480 --> 0:31:39.640
<v Speaker 2>is a deeply divided polity. The politics are bad, they're embittered.

0:31:40.160 --> 0:31:43.480
<v Speaker 2>A lot of this centers around the Prime Minister, Benjamin Netnier,

0:31:43.640 --> 0:31:48.600
<v Speaker 2>who is a polarizing figure. So the country is extremely

0:31:48.640 --> 0:31:52.520
<v Speaker 2>divided about that. And of course they're grieving for the hostages,

0:31:53.200 --> 0:31:57.200
<v Speaker 2>so there's tremendous resentment towards Netnio who because of the hostages.

0:31:57.280 --> 0:32:00.520
<v Speaker 2>So that's the sense of the politics, that's the sense

0:32:00.560 --> 0:32:03.600
<v Speaker 2>of division. But there's another impression as well, And that

0:32:03.680 --> 0:32:06.720
<v Speaker 2>other impression is that this is a country at war.

0:32:07.400 --> 0:32:11.160
<v Speaker 2>It's a country with a profound sense of purpose. It's

0:32:11.200 --> 0:32:15.080
<v Speaker 2>a country where men and women, young men and women,

0:32:15.120 --> 0:32:19.400
<v Speaker 2>do universal military service. They are committed to a sense

0:32:19.440 --> 0:32:22.760
<v Speaker 2>of national destiny. I think this is really important. So

0:32:22.840 --> 0:32:27.560
<v Speaker 2>these two elements go together, a divided politics, but still

0:32:27.560 --> 0:32:32.840
<v Speaker 2>a profound sense of national mission, national commitment to Israel.

0:32:33.840 --> 0:32:36.960
<v Speaker 3>Paul, in your article, you quote tal Becker who says

0:32:37.000 --> 0:32:40.920
<v Speaker 3>that Zionism is a product of people who felt abandoned

0:32:41.080 --> 0:32:46.000
<v Speaker 3>by the world. October seven has in some way Becker says,

0:32:46.880 --> 0:32:51.040
<v Speaker 3>put this sense of an aloneness on steroids. Nobody understands

0:32:51.080 --> 0:32:55.520
<v Speaker 3>the Jews, the media's against us, there's disinformation. It reinstates

0:32:55.560 --> 0:32:58.120
<v Speaker 3>the sense of being on our own with our trouma.

0:32:58.160 --> 0:33:00.720
<v Speaker 3>I think this is such a profound point. Was this

0:33:00.840 --> 0:33:04.880
<v Speaker 3>a sense that was reinforced by your visit to Israel

0:33:04.920 --> 0:33:06.600
<v Speaker 3>that it's a misunderstood nation.

0:33:07.480 --> 0:33:09.920
<v Speaker 2>I think it is a misunderstood nation. I think this

0:33:10.080 --> 0:33:16.040
<v Speaker 2>is a tragedy. This sense of loneliness is palpable, and

0:33:16.120 --> 0:33:19.600
<v Speaker 2>when you talk to people, they might look at Australia's

0:33:19.600 --> 0:33:21.920
<v Speaker 2>criticism of Israel and say, why are you doing this

0:33:21.960 --> 0:33:24.400
<v Speaker 2>in Australia, And then in the next breath they'll be

0:33:24.440 --> 0:33:27.920
<v Speaker 2>criticizing their own government. And I think the point to

0:33:27.960 --> 0:33:32.240
<v Speaker 2>make about this is that Israel was created with this

0:33:32.400 --> 0:33:35.240
<v Speaker 2>sense that it couldn't rely on the rest of the world.

0:33:35.800 --> 0:33:38.240
<v Speaker 2>After it was created and had to look after itself,

0:33:38.280 --> 0:33:40.720
<v Speaker 2>it was under attack right from the start. It's fought

0:33:40.720 --> 0:33:44.040
<v Speaker 2>a number of wars throughout its history because most of

0:33:44.040 --> 0:33:48.960
<v Speaker 2>its neighbors have never accepted its legitimacy. So it's not

0:33:49.040 --> 0:33:52.360
<v Speaker 2>surprising there is this sense of embattlement. But I think

0:33:52.400 --> 0:33:56.680
<v Speaker 2>this is one of the really bad features about Israel today,

0:33:57.160 --> 0:34:00.160
<v Speaker 2>this sense of isolation, this sense that the world world

0:34:00.240 --> 0:34:02.400
<v Speaker 2>is moving away from us, the world has turned its

0:34:02.440 --> 0:34:04.640
<v Speaker 2>back on us. Now, this is a bad thing. It's

0:34:04.680 --> 0:34:07.800
<v Speaker 2>the product of two factors. Of course, One is the

0:34:07.920 --> 0:34:11.200
<v Speaker 2>nature of the war, the nature of the war in Gaza.

0:34:11.360 --> 0:34:14.840
<v Speaker 2>But a second mine, of course, is that there's a

0:34:14.880 --> 0:34:18.840
<v Speaker 2>lot of anti Israeli sentiment in much of the Western world,

0:34:19.360 --> 0:34:22.400
<v Speaker 2>and the war has been the excuse for a lot

0:34:22.440 --> 0:34:25.520
<v Speaker 2>of people, particular people on the left of fan that sentiment.

0:34:27.360 --> 0:34:30.440
<v Speaker 3>It has, indeed, and it extends to the not just

0:34:30.440 --> 0:34:33.840
<v Speaker 3>to israelis I think, but that sense of abandonment extends

0:34:33.880 --> 0:34:35.920
<v Speaker 3>to the Jewish community around the world.

0:34:36.120 --> 0:34:37.160
<v Speaker 2>It does. It does.

0:34:37.600 --> 0:34:40.920
<v Speaker 3>Look you right of Israeli Prime Minister Benjaminette and Yahoo

0:34:40.920 --> 0:34:44.760
<v Speaker 3>that he has three goals. To win the war against Humus,

0:34:44.960 --> 0:34:50.400
<v Speaker 3>to eliminate around nuclear program, to normalize ties with Saudi Arabia.

0:34:50.520 --> 0:34:52.600
<v Speaker 3>And I know that because he told me himself when

0:34:52.640 --> 0:34:55.560
<v Speaker 3>I met with him. I'd add there's another goal he has,

0:34:55.680 --> 0:34:58.719
<v Speaker 3>which is to bring home the hostages. How do you

0:34:58.840 --> 0:35:03.799
<v Speaker 3>assess that he going in his bid to achieve these goals.

0:35:04.200 --> 0:35:08.360
<v Speaker 2>He's not going well. Now, I appreciate the goals, but

0:35:08.840 --> 0:35:13.600
<v Speaker 2>the goals are goals of enormous ambition, and I think

0:35:13.640 --> 0:35:17.640
<v Speaker 2>the problem is that, I'd say there are two There

0:35:17.640 --> 0:35:20.760
<v Speaker 2>are two fundamental defects here. One is that net Yale

0:35:20.880 --> 0:35:23.879
<v Speaker 2>has got a military strategy and it's been very successful.

0:35:24.280 --> 0:35:28.359
<v Speaker 2>He doesn't have a political strategy. And we know from

0:35:28.360 --> 0:35:32.160
<v Speaker 2>wars throughout history that you can't succeed unless you've got

0:35:32.200 --> 0:35:34.840
<v Speaker 2>both together. So a military strategy is not going to

0:35:34.880 --> 0:35:38.280
<v Speaker 2>be enough even if the military strategy prevails in Gaza,

0:35:38.560 --> 0:35:41.520
<v Speaker 2>and there are major question marks about that. I think

0:35:41.520 --> 0:35:45.640
<v Speaker 2>the other difficulty that netne who faces is that he

0:35:45.680 --> 0:35:49.200
<v Speaker 2>can't talk to the world. He can't speak to the world.

0:35:49.640 --> 0:35:52.200
<v Speaker 2>He can't speak to the world in moral terms. He

0:35:52.239 --> 0:35:56.319
<v Speaker 2>can't explain to the world what Israel's actually doing. He

0:35:56.400 --> 0:36:02.200
<v Speaker 2>has trouble persuading his own people, can't persuade the world. Now,

0:36:02.239 --> 0:36:06.040
<v Speaker 2>if we look at the goals, the goals to win

0:36:06.080 --> 0:36:09.359
<v Speaker 2>the war in Gaza, well, there's a military question mark

0:36:09.400 --> 0:36:11.520
<v Speaker 2>about whether or not that's possible. But he has no

0:36:11.680 --> 0:36:16.280
<v Speaker 2>political strategy for Gaza. After the military victory. The objective

0:36:16.360 --> 0:36:17.080
<v Speaker 2>is to, of course, to.

0:36:17.120 --> 0:36:19.680
<v Speaker 3>Establish and that he said publicly anyway, well.

0:36:19.440 --> 0:36:22.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, well, I've probed a lot of people. What is

0:36:22.440 --> 0:36:26.560
<v Speaker 2>the strategy? If it exists, I certainly couldn't find it.

0:36:27.200 --> 0:36:30.400
<v Speaker 2>His objective, of course, is to is to establish diplomatic

0:36:30.440 --> 0:36:33.960
<v Speaker 2>relations with Saudi Arabia. That would be a world transforming event.

0:36:34.320 --> 0:36:36.480
<v Speaker 2>He's got to give the Saudi something to do that,

0:36:37.000 --> 0:36:39.799
<v Speaker 2>and I can't see what that is. And finally, the

0:36:39.840 --> 0:36:43.759
<v Speaker 2>Iranians and the Iranians are a fundamental problem, and that's

0:36:43.840 --> 0:36:46.800
<v Speaker 2>where you deal with Nettniahu and Donald Trump.

0:36:47.920 --> 0:36:50.879
<v Speaker 3>And just finally, I'm being told we're out of time.

0:36:50.880 --> 0:36:52.520
<v Speaker 3>But just finally, I do want to ask you about

0:36:52.719 --> 0:36:57.440
<v Speaker 3>Trump and Iran, because you know clearly Israel does want

0:36:57.480 --> 0:37:01.120
<v Speaker 3>to destroy Iran's nuclear capabilities. I mean, this needs to

0:37:01.160 --> 0:37:04.640
<v Speaker 3>happen one way or another. Trump has taken this pacifist approach.

0:37:04.680 --> 0:37:09.839
<v Speaker 3>He once it done through dialogue. That seems unrealistic at

0:37:09.880 --> 0:37:10.880
<v Speaker 3>this point, doesn't it.

0:37:11.760 --> 0:37:13.759
<v Speaker 2>Trump supports Israel, but I think there are a lot

0:37:13.760 --> 0:37:16.719
<v Speaker 2>of differences between Trump and net NYAHUO. Now, the view

0:37:16.760 --> 0:37:21.200
<v Speaker 2>of Israeli is Iran is historically weak. This is a

0:37:21.239 --> 0:37:25.720
<v Speaker 2>particularly important moment. This is the moment when the nuclear program,

0:37:25.760 --> 0:37:28.680
<v Speaker 2>when the enrichment program must be terminated. It can be

0:37:28.760 --> 0:37:33.560
<v Speaker 2>terminated either by negotiations or by a military strike. Enter Trump.

0:37:34.000 --> 0:37:34.760
<v Speaker 11>So the Trump.

0:37:34.560 --> 0:37:38.640
<v Speaker 2>Administration is doing all the negotiations and so far the

0:37:38.680 --> 0:37:42.200
<v Speaker 2>offer is pretty weak. The Iranians have said no, They're

0:37:42.200 --> 0:37:47.000
<v Speaker 2>calling Trump's bluff. So what will Trump do? Will Trump

0:37:47.719 --> 0:37:51.960
<v Speaker 2>knuckle down and get a decent negotiated settlement out of

0:37:52.000 --> 0:37:54.960
<v Speaker 2>the Iranians? I don't think so. In that case, the

0:37:55.000 --> 0:37:59.520
<v Speaker 2>only option left for Israel is that is the military strike.

0:38:00.040 --> 0:38:02.759
<v Speaker 2>But they can't strike against Iran unless they've got the

0:38:02.800 --> 0:38:05.960
<v Speaker 2>green light from America, and probably unless they've got some

0:38:06.280 --> 0:38:10.440
<v Speaker 2>military support from America. So on both fronts, Trump is

0:38:10.480 --> 0:38:13.719
<v Speaker 2>a problem in terms of Israelis and in terms of

0:38:13.880 --> 0:38:16.480
<v Speaker 2>Israel's ambition dealing with Iran.

0:38:16.840 --> 0:38:19.040
<v Speaker 3>And did Paul. I could talk to you for an hour,

0:38:19.120 --> 0:38:21.560
<v Speaker 3>but we're out of time. Such an honor to have

0:38:21.600 --> 0:38:24.480
<v Speaker 3>you on as always. I admire you more than I

0:38:24.520 --> 0:38:24.879
<v Speaker 3>can say.

0:38:24.920 --> 0:38:25.680
<v Speaker 4>Thank you so much.

0:38:25.840 --> 0:38:26.360
<v Speaker 2>Thanks Sary.

0:38:27.239 --> 0:38:30.640
<v Speaker 3>Now still to calm Albanizi Wann's journalist not to criticize

0:38:30.760 --> 0:38:35.840
<v Speaker 3>China in bizarre comments and the idea Albanezi copied without

0:38:35.920 --> 0:38:39.040
<v Speaker 3>credit from my next guest, Camer Milner.

0:38:39.440 --> 0:38:46.360
<v Speaker 4>That's next, Well.

0:38:46.160 --> 0:38:49.560
<v Speaker 3>Anthony, Albanezi today basically admitted he didn't know how to

0:38:49.600 --> 0:38:53.440
<v Speaker 3>lift productivity and so was organized a roundtable of business,

0:38:53.600 --> 0:38:56.640
<v Speaker 3>unions and civil society to come up with a plan.

0:38:57.120 --> 0:38:59.640
<v Speaker 3>Now this is funny because just two weeks ago forma

0:38:59.680 --> 0:39:03.719
<v Speaker 3>chief of staff to Bill Shorten, Camra Milner suggested this

0:39:04.080 --> 0:39:07.839
<v Speaker 3>very idea, writing in The Nightly that Labour should hold

0:39:07.840 --> 0:39:11.080
<v Speaker 3>a tax and productivity summit just like Keating dead in

0:39:11.160 --> 0:39:15.200
<v Speaker 3>eighty four and have an open conversation with unions and business.

0:39:15.040 --> 0:39:16.279
<v Speaker 4>About tax reform.

0:39:16.760 --> 0:39:20.040
<v Speaker 3>And Cameron Milner and former Press secretary for Scott Morrison

0:39:20.080 --> 0:39:23.680
<v Speaker 3>Andrew Casle join me. Now welcome to both. Look, Cameron,

0:39:23.760 --> 0:39:27.160
<v Speaker 3>we know Albin Easy reads your column and complains about

0:39:27.200 --> 0:39:29.799
<v Speaker 3>it to anyone who'll listen, but it seems he has

0:39:29.840 --> 0:39:31.600
<v Speaker 3>actually picked up an idea from you.

0:39:33.600 --> 0:39:35.239
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, there've been a few complaints the way it has

0:39:35.320 --> 0:39:37.160
<v Speaker 13>over the last three years, but no, Look, the idea

0:39:37.200 --> 0:39:39.640
<v Speaker 13>of a summit is one that's needed. I mean, our

0:39:39.680 --> 0:39:41.800
<v Speaker 13>growth numbers are terrible. We're in a per capita of

0:39:41.880 --> 0:39:44.160
<v Speaker 13>session for the last two and a half years, and

0:39:44.200 --> 0:39:46.959
<v Speaker 13>our productivity is a nation is nowhere to be seen.

0:39:47.239 --> 0:39:49.200
<v Speaker 13>That's why Jim Chalmers is the Treasure has already put

0:39:49.200 --> 0:39:51.560
<v Speaker 13>productivity on the gender and I think a summit to

0:39:51.600 --> 0:39:54.879
<v Speaker 13>bring business and unions together and indeed the Liberal Party

0:39:54.920 --> 0:39:57.439
<v Speaker 13>as well and the parliamentarians to actually solve this problem

0:39:57.480 --> 0:40:00.319
<v Speaker 13>as a nation is absolutely necessary. But no, today National

0:40:00.360 --> 0:40:03.000
<v Speaker 13>Press Club moment for Albo was the PHONEO Freendom moment.

0:40:03.520 --> 0:40:04.040
<v Speaker 1>Free moment.

0:40:04.080 --> 0:40:06.640
<v Speaker 13>Because he's run out of ideas out we need to

0:40:06.640 --> 0:40:08.200
<v Speaker 13>ask other people to form.

0:40:07.960 --> 0:40:08.719
<v Speaker 2>Out what he is to do.

0:40:09.320 --> 0:40:12.200
<v Speaker 3>I mean, that's exactly right, Andrew. This isn't admission. Isn't

0:40:12.200 --> 0:40:14.960
<v Speaker 3>it that the Albanezi government has no idea how to

0:40:15.000 --> 0:40:17.320
<v Speaker 3>improve productivity?

0:40:18.640 --> 0:40:20.880
<v Speaker 14>Well, it's not so much that they don't have any idea,

0:40:20.960 --> 0:40:23.040
<v Speaker 14>that's the most schooling part. It's it's the fact that

0:40:23.120 --> 0:40:26.200
<v Speaker 14>they've spent the last three years smashing productivity in this

0:40:26.280 --> 0:40:31.080
<v Speaker 14>country with the imposition of two reckless tranches of industrial

0:40:31.080 --> 0:40:35.480
<v Speaker 14>relations changes. They've driven a nail through productivity in this country.

0:40:35.520 --> 0:40:37.960
<v Speaker 14>It's gone backwards at a greater rate than it was before.

0:40:38.600 --> 0:40:41.200
<v Speaker 14>So it's almost like they're trying to put the toothpaste

0:40:41.200 --> 0:40:44.759
<v Speaker 14>back in the tube without even talking about changing those

0:40:44.840 --> 0:40:48.320
<v Speaker 14>changes to industrial relations. So but I agree with Cameron

0:40:48.320 --> 0:40:51.600
<v Speaker 14>too though, having this on the agenda is important and

0:40:51.680 --> 0:40:54.239
<v Speaker 14>having this as a central theme of the next the

0:40:54.320 --> 0:40:58.879
<v Speaker 14>current term of this government is crucial because lagging productivity

0:40:59.040 --> 0:41:01.680
<v Speaker 14>is a major in his to economic growth in this country.

0:41:01.719 --> 0:41:04.760
<v Speaker 14>It's a major block on foreign investment coming into this country,

0:41:04.800 --> 0:41:07.520
<v Speaker 14>which we so desperately need. You know, there are a

0:41:07.680 --> 0:41:12.800
<v Speaker 14>mountain of companies, multinational companies, investors that want to invest

0:41:12.840 --> 0:41:15.719
<v Speaker 14>in Australia. Now they're not because of lacking productivity. They're

0:41:15.760 --> 0:41:19.560
<v Speaker 14>not because of our competitive our uncompetitive tax raging. They're

0:41:19.600 --> 0:41:21.920
<v Speaker 14>not because of the regulations and the red tape that

0:41:22.000 --> 0:41:25.319
<v Speaker 14>sit there as an impost on business. So if they

0:41:25.400 --> 0:41:28.240
<v Speaker 14>want their combin our moment in canberrall with the business

0:41:28.280 --> 0:41:30.799
<v Speaker 14>community and others, then I welcome that, as long as

0:41:30.800 --> 0:41:33.200
<v Speaker 14>they go in knowing that they've got two ears and

0:41:33.280 --> 0:41:33.799
<v Speaker 14>one mouth.

0:41:34.239 --> 0:41:36.600
<v Speaker 3>And I'd also just add to that list they're not

0:41:36.719 --> 0:41:39.880
<v Speaker 3>investing because of uncertainty, because decisions in the past have

0:41:39.960 --> 0:41:44.360
<v Speaker 3>been ripped up on ideological grounds. Now, the Prime Minister

0:41:44.440 --> 0:41:49.200
<v Speaker 3>was also pressed today on his stubbornness around defense spending. Now, Cameron,

0:41:49.280 --> 0:41:51.400
<v Speaker 3>this is clearly going to be a feature of the

0:41:51.480 --> 0:41:55.319
<v Speaker 3>upcoming G seven talks with the Trump administration. So why

0:41:55.440 --> 0:41:59.200
<v Speaker 3>is he refusing to even say that he'll consider increasing

0:41:59.239 --> 0:41:59.960
<v Speaker 3>defense spend.

0:42:02.239 --> 0:42:04.279
<v Speaker 13>It's crazy, isn't it. I Mean, every night we see

0:42:04.280 --> 0:42:07.800
<v Speaker 13>the world getting more uncertain and more dangerous and military

0:42:07.840 --> 0:42:10.800
<v Speaker 13>presences on our very doorstep, Sharie. And yet why wouldn't

0:42:10.800 --> 0:42:12.920
<v Speaker 13>we as a nation want to build up our military

0:42:12.960 --> 0:42:15.680
<v Speaker 13>and build up our defense capability. Look, I think Albot's

0:42:15.680 --> 0:42:18.320
<v Speaker 13>pretty uncomfortable around servicemen and women. You see him on

0:42:18.320 --> 0:42:20.080
<v Speaker 13>Anzac Day, but you don't seem any other day of

0:42:20.120 --> 0:42:23.840
<v Speaker 13>the year really being with our serving soldiers and Navy.

0:42:23.560 --> 0:42:24.120
<v Speaker 3>And Air Force.

0:42:24.640 --> 0:42:26.240
<v Speaker 13>Look, I mean, I think at the end of the day,

0:42:26.840 --> 0:42:30.680
<v Speaker 13>those lefty views, those inner city views, being pretty pacivist,

0:42:30.920 --> 0:42:33.239
<v Speaker 13>don't make them comfortable being around defense. But we as

0:42:33.280 --> 0:42:35.160
<v Speaker 13>a nation need to put more money in and we

0:42:35.200 --> 0:42:37.200
<v Speaker 13>need to do it sooner. And Orcas is not just

0:42:37.239 --> 0:42:40.240
<v Speaker 13>the only answer. We need immediate capability with the threats

0:42:40.239 --> 0:42:41.040
<v Speaker 13>we've currently got.

0:42:41.960 --> 0:42:44.920
<v Speaker 3>I mean, this is right, isn't it, Andrew. It's just

0:42:45.280 --> 0:42:50.359
<v Speaker 3>almost the childish insistence that ALBINIZI won't consider lifting even

0:42:50.400 --> 0:42:53.799
<v Speaker 3>as an aspiration. The percentage of GDP that we spent on.

0:42:53.760 --> 0:42:57.439
<v Speaker 4>Defense, Well, it's a stubbornness, I think.

0:42:57.480 --> 0:43:01.680
<v Speaker 14>And yes, there's some budget, budgetary constraints, but the rest

0:43:01.680 --> 0:43:04.400
<v Speaker 14>of the world is moving in step with higher percentage

0:43:04.400 --> 0:43:08.160
<v Speaker 14>of GDP on defense spending, and we're sitting at two

0:43:08.200 --> 0:43:12.080
<v Speaker 14>point zero three. It's pitiful. So this to me is

0:43:12.120 --> 0:43:14.799
<v Speaker 14>a tool to negotiate with Donald Trump. I mean, there

0:43:14.800 --> 0:43:18.640
<v Speaker 14>are many non negotiables that should define this moment for

0:43:18.719 --> 0:43:21.240
<v Speaker 14>Anthony Abernezi, and it is a sink or swim moment

0:43:21.280 --> 0:43:24.839
<v Speaker 14>for him. And there are some non negotiables to not

0:43:24.920 --> 0:43:29.360
<v Speaker 14>go anywhere near and that's bisecurity on cattle, it's social

0:43:29.400 --> 0:43:32.200
<v Speaker 14>media laws that we have in place here, and he

0:43:32.239 --> 0:43:33.319
<v Speaker 14>has outlined these things.

0:43:33.320 --> 0:43:34.120
<v Speaker 3>It's PBS.

0:43:35.120 --> 0:43:36.920
<v Speaker 14>So they're the lines that you don't cross. But there

0:43:36.920 --> 0:43:39.120
<v Speaker 14>are some things that you give away as well, and

0:43:39.200 --> 0:43:41.279
<v Speaker 14>one of those things is defense spending. Is it is

0:43:41.320 --> 0:43:44.960
<v Speaker 14>nothing for us to increase our commitment not only to

0:43:45.320 --> 0:43:47.799
<v Speaker 14>our partners and our alliances, but to give ourselves the

0:43:47.800 --> 0:43:48.600
<v Speaker 14>capability that.

0:43:48.560 --> 0:43:49.560
<v Speaker 4>We sorely need.

0:43:50.120 --> 0:43:52.839
<v Speaker 3>Indeed, all right, Andrew Carsil camer Mila, thank you both

0:43:53.040 --> 0:43:55.880
<v Speaker 3>very much for your time. Now, coming up next to

0:43:55.960 --> 0:43:58.560
<v Speaker 3>China's plans for a super embassy in the heart of

0:43:58.640 --> 0:44:01.400
<v Speaker 3>one of the most important is in the world and

0:44:01.440 --> 0:44:02.200
<v Speaker 3>what it'll mean.

0:44:02.120 --> 0:44:04.080
<v Speaker 4>For Australia, that's next.

0:44:08.280 --> 0:44:11.400
<v Speaker 3>Welcome back. China is planning to build what's dubbed a

0:44:11.520 --> 0:44:15.520
<v Speaker 3>super embassy in the heart of London. Their significant national

0:44:15.560 --> 0:44:19.399
<v Speaker 3>security concern about what the Chinese Communist Party could do

0:44:19.480 --> 0:44:21.279
<v Speaker 3>with an embassy in the middle of one of the

0:44:21.320 --> 0:44:26.680
<v Speaker 3>world's most powerful nations. America is reportedly concerned, and it's

0:44:26.680 --> 0:44:29.920
<v Speaker 3>said that it even has the potential to derail trade talks.

0:44:30.320 --> 0:44:33.880
<v Speaker 3>The Interparliamentary Alliance and China's executive director Luke de Pulford

0:44:34.040 --> 0:44:36.760
<v Speaker 3>joins me. Now, Luke, thank you very much for your time.

0:44:37.160 --> 0:44:40.400
<v Speaker 3>So what exactly is China planning here and what are

0:44:40.400 --> 0:44:41.839
<v Speaker 3>the concerns around it.

0:44:43.440 --> 0:44:46.960
<v Speaker 15>So China is planning to develop the largest embassy in

0:44:47.000 --> 0:44:51.400
<v Speaker 15>Europe in London in a very prestigious site directly opposite

0:44:51.400 --> 0:44:53.800
<v Speaker 15>the Tower of London. Just to give you an indication

0:44:53.840 --> 0:44:56.560
<v Speaker 15>of size. This is planned to have over one hundred

0:44:56.600 --> 0:45:00.760
<v Speaker 15>and thirty additional flats for PRC state employees in addition

0:45:01.160 --> 0:45:04.799
<v Speaker 15>to an already very large site. And the concerns are

0:45:04.800 --> 0:45:08.719
<v Speaker 15>broadly threefold. First of all, we suspect that this is

0:45:08.719 --> 0:45:12.200
<v Speaker 15>going to become a base for all of China's European

0:45:12.280 --> 0:45:16.799
<v Speaker 15>interference operations which are already very considerable. We also know

0:45:16.880 --> 0:45:19.680
<v Speaker 15>that the site is very inappropriate because there's no space

0:45:19.719 --> 0:45:22.719
<v Speaker 15>for protest outside of it. In fact, we organized two

0:45:22.880 --> 0:45:26.439
<v Speaker 15>very large protests of four and five thousand people each

0:45:26.880 --> 0:45:30.240
<v Speaker 15>which blocked all of the very busy adjacent road network.

0:45:30.320 --> 0:45:33.160
<v Speaker 15>So it's an inappropriate site anyway because people won't be

0:45:33.160 --> 0:45:36.960
<v Speaker 15>able to express speech freely. But the critical point is this,

0:45:37.840 --> 0:45:40.919
<v Speaker 15>it has been exposed that the site, which is Royal

0:45:40.960 --> 0:45:43.840
<v Speaker 15>Mint Court, so initially where we had our mint to

0:45:43.880 --> 0:45:49.240
<v Speaker 15>create all of our currency, is directly over sensitive cabling

0:45:49.640 --> 0:45:53.719
<v Speaker 15>which feeds UK financial services, so the very backbone of

0:45:53.760 --> 0:45:56.960
<v Speaker 15>the United Kingdom economy. And the background to that is

0:45:56.960 --> 0:46:00.200
<v Speaker 15>that it was reported that previously the Chinese of allied

0:46:00.280 --> 0:46:03.960
<v Speaker 15>once before there was an objection from our intelligence services

0:46:04.239 --> 0:46:08.200
<v Speaker 15>on the basis that this could imperil UK financial infrastructure.

0:46:09.160 --> 0:46:11.640
<v Speaker 3>So if those are the concerns that it has the

0:46:11.719 --> 0:46:16.319
<v Speaker 3>potential to imperil UK financial infrastructure, could that then have

0:46:16.360 --> 0:46:19.719
<v Speaker 3>an impact on countries that do have close ties to

0:46:19.760 --> 0:46:23.480
<v Speaker 3>the UK, particularly a five Eyes partner like Australia.

0:46:24.600 --> 0:46:27.680
<v Speaker 15>Absolutely so, these are fiber optic cables which feed UK

0:46:27.760 --> 0:46:32.440
<v Speaker 15>financial services, but not just the UK, so anz Combank,

0:46:32.560 --> 0:46:36.359
<v Speaker 15>westpank Westpac and National Australia Bank all have a very

0:46:36.360 --> 0:46:40.480
<v Speaker 15>significant presence in London. They're all using these cables. The

0:46:40.560 --> 0:46:44.919
<v Speaker 15>cables feed UK financial infrastructure, but not just UK financial infrastructure,

0:46:45.239 --> 0:46:48.040
<v Speaker 15>and this was the reason that the United States government

0:46:48.239 --> 0:46:52.040
<v Speaker 15>on Sunday expressed their concerns, saying to the UK, we

0:46:52.120 --> 0:46:53.839
<v Speaker 15>hope you're not going to take a decision here which

0:46:53.880 --> 0:46:56.840
<v Speaker 15>is going to put our financial services at risk. My

0:46:57.000 --> 0:47:00.520
<v Speaker 15>strong view is that the Australian governments and Australian politicians

0:47:00.520 --> 0:47:03.080
<v Speaker 15>should be aware of this risk and should do the same.

0:47:03.600 --> 0:47:07.799
<v Speaker 15>This is going to create real vulnerabilities for Australian financial services.

0:47:08.600 --> 0:47:12.360
<v Speaker 3>Has Kiir Stama been open to listening to the concerns

0:47:12.360 --> 0:47:16.279
<v Speaker 3>that you and security experts and intelligence services have.

0:47:18.400 --> 0:47:20.440
<v Speaker 15>Well at the moment, the government is keeping its powder

0:47:20.520 --> 0:47:22.880
<v Speaker 15>dry and saying well, it's all in the planning process

0:47:22.920 --> 0:47:25.520
<v Speaker 15>and will make a decision in due course. What I

0:47:25.560 --> 0:47:29.000
<v Speaker 15>would say is that there's tremendous diplomatic pressure so highly

0:47:29.120 --> 0:47:31.960
<v Speaker 15>unusually she's inpeing and is meeting with Kir Starmer on

0:47:32.000 --> 0:47:34.799
<v Speaker 15>the sidelines of the G twenty last year raised the

0:47:34.840 --> 0:47:38.120
<v Speaker 15>location of their embassy in London. As the number one

0:47:38.200 --> 0:47:41.799
<v Speaker 15>thing which needed to be sorted out to normalize diplomatic

0:47:41.840 --> 0:47:44.160
<v Speaker 15>relations with the UK. So you can see this very

0:47:44.160 --> 0:47:47.200
<v Speaker 15>heavy pressure and they've already been sold the building by

0:47:47.239 --> 0:47:50.880
<v Speaker 15>the last government. So now our government is facing the

0:47:51.000 --> 0:47:53.600
<v Speaker 15>very difficult decision whether or not to say that they

0:47:53.640 --> 0:47:57.040
<v Speaker 15>can develop it into this massive embassy, the largest embassy

0:47:57.080 --> 0:48:00.360
<v Speaker 15>in Europe. Our argument is that this presents to totally

0:48:00.400 --> 0:48:04.239
<v Speaker 15>unacceptable national security risks, not just for US but to

0:48:04.280 --> 0:48:05.960
<v Speaker 15>our allies as well.

0:48:06.080 --> 0:48:08.960
<v Speaker 3>Look, our Prime minister today said that Australia shouldn't view

0:48:09.080 --> 0:48:12.400
<v Speaker 3>China as a national security threat but rather a strategic

0:48:12.480 --> 0:48:16.640
<v Speaker 3>competition any bizarrely encourage journalists to do the same. I

0:48:16.680 --> 0:48:18.920
<v Speaker 3>don't have time to play you the clip now, but

0:48:19.640 --> 0:48:23.920
<v Speaker 3>is this an out of place, bizarre warning to journalists

0:48:24.160 --> 0:48:26.719
<v Speaker 3>that almost amounts to censorship.

0:48:26.760 --> 0:48:27.680
<v Speaker 4>What do you think about this?

0:48:28.960 --> 0:48:30.880
<v Speaker 15>Well, I put it this way, China is very clearly

0:48:30.920 --> 0:48:33.600
<v Speaker 15>an adversary. We need to move on from this language

0:48:33.600 --> 0:48:38.160
<v Speaker 15>of strategic competition. It's no longer appropriate. The CCP under

0:48:38.200 --> 0:48:41.720
<v Speaker 15>cGMP is more oppressive at home, much more aggressive abroad.

0:48:41.880 --> 0:48:46.200
<v Speaker 15>We're seeing interference, United frontwork, the inculcation, the deliberate inculcation

0:48:46.280 --> 0:48:52.200
<v Speaker 15>of dependencies, undermining international institutions, massive human rights abuses, South China,

0:48:52.239 --> 0:48:55.239
<v Speaker 15>sea aggression. They want to remake the global order in

0:48:55.280 --> 0:48:59.000
<v Speaker 15>their own image. So this isn't about being a strategic competitor.

0:48:59.040 --> 0:49:01.719
<v Speaker 15>This is about being clear about the threat and as

0:49:01.719 --> 0:49:04.640
<v Speaker 15>to what journalists might think. I mean, Australia is a

0:49:04.640 --> 0:49:09.480
<v Speaker 15>country which respects free speech indeed press.

0:49:09.480 --> 0:49:11.960
<v Speaker 3>And perhaps the Prime Minister should as well. Look to Pulford.

0:49:11.960 --> 0:49:14.520
<v Speaker 3>We're out of time, Thank you so much and thanks

0:49:14.520 --> 0:49:16.680
<v Speaker 3>for your company tonight. I'll see you tomorrow at eight.

0:49:16.800 --> 0:49:17.479
<v Speaker 4>And here's Paul
