WEBVTT - Paul Murray Live | 22 August 0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:07.360 From the Skyinging Center. This is Paul Murray Live mate. 0:00:07.360 --> 0:00:09.120 Thank you very much for watching so much to get 0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:11.400 to this evening, including a very big win in the 0:00:11.400 --> 0:00:14.400 Senate today. Sadly it was the Greens yet again, the 0:00:14.480 --> 0:00:17.960 tail wagging, the government being the puppy here. You're going 0:00:18.000 --> 0:00:19.800 to pay. I'll explain what that means in a second. 0:00:19.840 --> 0:00:22.079 I've got more inside details about what may would be 0:00:22.079 --> 0:00:25.639 coming for the user Pay's age care system. And Joe 0:00:25.680 --> 0:00:28.400 Hocke he took time out from not listening to Bill 0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:30.720 Clinton to talk to me. We'll have a chat to 0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:32.800 him in a moment or two his time, but a 0:00:32.840 --> 0:00:34.640 lot of people seem to like that. I started the 0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:36.280 show last night with a bit of good news, so 0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:39.319 I'll continue on until the complaints come the other way. 0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:42.000 I'm nothing but a servant here. Three bits of good 0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:44.280 news before we get into everything else today. The hero 0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:46.879 police officer from the Bondeau stabbings is going to be 0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:50.479 honored this weekend as part of a wireder honoring support 0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:53.479 and recognition of the emergency services in New South Wales 0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:55.840 by the World of Rugby League. Now of course Bondo 0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:59.720 Junction it is part of the Eastern Suburbs club the Roosters. 0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:02.440 So she will be arriving Chopper and all with a 0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:06.720 game ball and she'll be celebrated this weekend. Congratulations to 0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:08.679 Amy Scott on that honor, and I hope that everyone 0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:11.000 takes to their feet and gives her the welcome that 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:14.480 she deserves. Now, we haven't really updated much about the 0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:17.360 United Kingdom since the riots from a couple of weeks ago. 0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:21.280 Well thankfully those riots have calmed down, but the incident 0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:25.040 that is central. Two things getting out of hand was 0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:30.160 the three little girls that were stabbed in England and 0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:32.440 a police to say, well, not good news in any way, 0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:34.560 shape or form. The news I want to bring you 0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:37.640 tonight is that King Charles didn't just attend, didn't just 0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:40.080 go to the memorials for them, but actually met with 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:43.040 the families, showing of course that they are not forgotten 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:46.280 in what has been a while few weeks where they 0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:49.640 were largely forgotten because of some of the reaction and 0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:52.200 shout out to anyone who was stuck on a roller 0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:55.360 coaster today on the Gold Coast, but that's exactly what 0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:58.600 happened today as people were hitting the peak and then 0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:02.800 they were stuck. Life is a rollercoaster, a band I've 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:06.200 forgotten from the nineties once said the good news, they're off. 0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:13.200 They're okay, now to the big stuff. Now. It doesn't 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:15.560 matter whom the politician is. But in this case, I'm 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:17.240 going to focus in on the prime minister. They say 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:20.960 exactly the same thing after every election, and this is 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:24.240 especially so when just a third of the country's primary 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:27.240 votes were for the party and the person who has 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:28.560 become our prime minister. 0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:34.960 And I can promise all Australians this, no matter how 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:39.600 you voted today, the government I lead will respect every 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:41.560 one of you every day. 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:47.359 Really well. Of course we know that they have got 0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:50.160 after the other third, the bit of people who decided 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:52.600 to vote for anyone but the government this time when 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:54.720 it comes to the Liberal Party, and they have tried 0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:58.760 endlessly to suggest that it's only the Liberal side of 0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:02.040 politics that's evil, rusty, mean, weird. 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:07.960 What I see is his relentless negativity, all the carping 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:11.880 and the negativity to those offers of more negativity under 0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:15.399 Peter Dutton. Peter Dutton, another day, another bit of negativity. 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:19.359 But I've got to say world under Chris Kenny. He's 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:21.200 the one who watched this brought it to our attention. 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:23.639 I repeat what he had to say when he was 0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:26.639 watching a debate in the Senate today because the reality 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:30.600 of somebody representing the government, somebody a shadow deputy minister 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:34.360 in the government, completely tells us the truth of what 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:37.200 they really think of you. Unless you are part of 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:40.400 their tribe, they turn on you. If you are somebody 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:45.480 who is openly antagonistic or questions what they do, they 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:50.960 come for your throat. Now we know that this Prime 0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:55.240 Minister's gutless decision not to have a proper royal commission 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:58.400 or national inquiry into what happened in COVID is to 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:02.360 his eternal shame, because to this very day there are 0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:06.880 people who are either still financially affected by lockdowns, the 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:09.440 failures when it comes to supporting our children that has 0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:13.240 affected their mental health and their education, let alone the 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:17.960 traumas of absurdity that took place as people were forced 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:25.160 to wear head to toe protective clothing. Ppe Remember that 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:27.400 poor lady who had to wait for fourteen days before 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:30.320 she could go and see her father, Well, he of 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:33.440 course died without that contact. She had to be dressed 0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:37.320 as if she was going into Chernobyl because that was 0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:42.760 our attitude at the time. There were too many people 0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:46.520 who died alone, and part of a Royal commission race 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:52.640 serious investigation into what happened would and should have concluded 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:56.640 that no human should ever die alone if their families 0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:59.800 are willing to roll the dice to even potentially threaten 0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:01.720 their your own health, to make sure that they can 0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:05.200 hold the hands of those whom they love. My mate 0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:07.800 Mark jessp Well, I've given you plenty of examples of 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:10.919 the story he told about his dad, who again was 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:16.320 put in one of these scenarios. Disgusting, unforgivable. So today 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:19.800 there was an attempt from some of the minor parties 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:22.839 and some of the more conservative senators to have a formal, 0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:29.240 larger inquiry into COVID. Yet, of course this government that 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:32.600 claimed on day one that they would respect everyone, including 0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:34.760 the people who didn't vote for them, well we all 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:38.240 know that's garbage. You're either with them or you're against them, 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:42.159 and if you're against them, bugger you. Perfect example, look 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:44.200 what's happening right now in regional Australia when it comes 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:47.320 to the rollout of the energy grid from the people 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:50.599 who wouldn't dare upset their doggie parks. But you have 0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:53.440 to see your area change forever when it comes to 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:56.960 the rollout of tens of thousands of kilometers of cable 0:05:57.040 --> 0:06:02.320 or tens of thousands of solo pans or wind turbines. 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:05.000 But more importantly, I want to introduce you to a 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:07.080 bloke that you may well not have heard of. Again, Well, 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:09.640 donder Chris Kenny for pointing this out. And he's the 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:11.679 reason why I'm talking about this right now. Well, tim As. 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:14.760 Tim As is that one of the Deputy Ministers for Trade, 0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:18.400 but he's hardcore labor, he's hardcore union, and he decided 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:22.640 today this is what he said about the people who 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:28.480 want a proper inquiry into COVID. This man is a disgrace. 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:34.200 There is a wellspring, a sort of fetted wellspring of 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:39.080 COVID conspiracy theorists, and some of them, some of them, 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:44.000 some of them in habit the benches over there. We 0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:49.359 know that Senator Babbitt, we know that Senator Babbitt comes 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:52.720 from the outer reaches of some of the more kooky 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:57.600 conspiracy theorist views. We know that we know that it 0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:03.560 is it is obvious one nation party have always sought 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:09.200 to manipulate these kind of these kind of conspiracy theories 0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:13.840 for their own purposes. That is that is well known, 0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:19.200 and there is, of course, and always has been a 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:23.840 group of people in the community who you know, mobilized 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:30.880 by concerns about chemtrails or lizard people or fluoride conspiracy. 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:35.240 If you think there should be a broad inquiry that 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:39.160 would investigate and presumably conclude, because it is so obvious 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:43.280 that kids should always go to school and unless there 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:46.240 is a natural disaster or an emergency playing out on 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:49.320 that school's campus, it should always be open and the 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:52.240 kids should always go to school. They're putting you in 0:07:52.720 --> 0:08:00.200 with the lizard people people. That's the government that's going 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:05.720 to respect everyone, regardless of how you voted. This bloke 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:11.800 continues in an extraordinary rant. This wasn't a speech, this 0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:15.600 was a rant. This again is a disgrace. You want 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:18.680 a proper inquiry into COVID. This is what they think 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:18.960 of you. 0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:26.000 And there's there's always the pseudo scientific language, always the 0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:29.000 sort of resort to things that sound important but aren't. 0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:33.679 Always discussions about gene therapy is if something's really going 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:37.280 on here that is different, and you are always used 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:40.960 and if you can encourage people to believe this set 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:47.040 of conspiracy theories. It's part of the radicalization pathway that 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:50.520 is designed by people who sit at the heart of 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:54.720 these and sometimes people don't know that they have been 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:58.080 engaged in a radicalization pathway. 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:04.320 This is the wildest, dumbest stuff from the Twitter karens 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:08.400 back in twenty twenty that any and anyone who thought 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:10.720 anything other than what you were told by the Chief 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:14.600 Health Officer that somehow you're part of some dark, weird, 0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:19.199 crazy conspiracy. Do I agree with every word that has 0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:21.440 been said against every decision that was made of government? 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:26.040 Of course not. But if the choices are have a 0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:32.280 proper open inquiry into COVID that would hold state governments accountable, 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:35.079 That would guarantee that our kids keep going to school 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:40.160 and no one dies alone because of something that since 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:45.880 everyone left the house, has claimed far more lives. Because 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:48.920 now we've all got to the position where people's attitudes 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:54.320 are completely different. It is outrageous that this bloke carried 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:56.160 on like this. But there's a third and final part 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:58.920 of it. And again, if you believe people shouldn't die 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:02.440 alone of COVID, if you're a person who thinks the 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:04.640 kids should go to school, if you're a person who 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:06.400 thinks that you should be able to have your small 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:09.240 business open because there's no other way to pay off 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:13.720 your home loan or to pay the ever increasing electricity 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:16.320 bills of this government. Then what's the term they use? 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:18.520 Apparently you're a cooker. 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:25.240 And I understand that is uncomfortable. I understand that people 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:27.080 don't want to hear it because they want the easy 0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:30.960 ride in politics. They don't want to have to call 0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:35.080 out extremism. They want to have to call out bad 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:38.679 behavior because it's so much easier to do the backslapping 0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:41.000 and the she'll be right mate, and don't worry about that, 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:49.040 and to surf in on the support of some of 0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:55.120 the nastiest extreme cooky elements in Australian politics. 0:10:56.200 --> 0:11:00.679 I do not have enough words to describe all about 0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:06.640 how offensive and how deliberately and intentionally antagonistic and disgraceful 0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:09.199 that performance was. Now I get it, there'll be a 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:11.960 drinking game in his office. Aha, look at who we've 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:16.160 peede off today. How good is this? Don't worry about me, Powell, 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:20.720 worry about the hundreds of thousands of people who, once 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:24.640 they see this message, will see you and your government 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:29.199 for what you are, which are people who will crush 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:36.560 anyone who thinks what you have done is wrong. This bloke, 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:41.440 this government, and the media who ignored his behavior today 0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:47.120 are all part of the problem. The problem being that 0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:51.320 there should be accountability for the failures of that period 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:53.760 of time, not the first six months. We all didn't 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:55.760 know what was going on. We didn't know whether the 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:59.000 blob was going to make its way from the hospitals 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:03.520 of Italy across our borders, and we didn't know what 0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:05.400 was going to happen. But we all knew where we 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:09.880 were six months in litt alone, multiple years later, I 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:15.560 wanted absolutely clear kids go to school and people don't 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:18.679 die alone, and to be dismissed in the fashion of 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:22.400 which this bloke, this government, the people who report on it, 0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:25.199 if you happen to be of a different view to them, 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:29.920 tells you everything about what they really think about you. 0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:36.000 And I don't really care what they think about me. Meantime, 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:38.400 Also in the Senate today, business got a lot harder 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:42.640 for many Australian businesses. You see the Greens, well, they 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:46.120 got together with all of the usual suspects on the 0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:49.960 cross bench today, like David Pocock, like Jackie Lamby like 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:51.800 the person who used to work with Jackie Lamby but 0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:54.280 then broke away from Jackie Lamby, but nobody talks about 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:57.960 her failure to hold a team together. Don't worry and yes, 0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:01.480 David Van google his name. And what some colleagues have 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:03.960 said in the past, Well they all got together to 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:07.760 launch a brand new program. It is referred to as 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:11.880 a mega deal in the Australian newspaper. Today we are 0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:17.800 talking about the Net Zero Economy Agency. Net Zero Economy Agency. 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:20.880 Let me read the description of what has just become 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:25.880 law in Australia. The bill makes it mandatory for companies 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:31.120 to disclose climate risks. The legislation captures all businesses with 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:34.880 a turnover, not profit, turnover of fifty million dollars or more. 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:38.360 So yeah, big companies. But still this is even as 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:41.679 farmers and the coalitions called for agriculture in particular to 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:45.479 be carved out of what is called Scope three reporting requirements. 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:49.200 I'll explain now what Scope three is, and this is 0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:52.120 now the law of the land. Scope three includes emissions 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:58.520 along the supply chain, so you now become responsible for 0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:02.280 the environmental impacts of people who are in your supply chain. 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:07.040 Not in your business, which are not directed, which are 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:10.640 not generated directly by a company within its fence line 0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:17.000 or through its electricity consumption. Farmers who supply big supermarkets 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:19.720 and other large companies they will have to make climate 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:23.800 disclosures under the program have warned that their exports will 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:26.960 be consequently become less competitive. Now, of course this matters 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:30.840 because if you are going to pull in how much 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:35.920 you produce because of what the environmental consequences are, and 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:39.640 how much environmental consequences there are. When you put whatever 0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:41.520 you grow, whatever you make, on the back of a 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:44.520 truck and the truck makes its way towards the port, 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.560 and then you've got to work out the environmental consequences 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:50.560 of the thing that takes what you are trying to 0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:52.520 send to the other side of the world, be it 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:55.600 via ship or by plane. Well, of course you produce 0:14:56.040 --> 0:15:01.440 less when margins are very thin at the moment. Producing 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:03.920 less will mean that you have less income. If you 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:07.000 have less income, your chance of turning a profit. Well, 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:10.840 of course it goes backwards. If the Australian dollar goes 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:14.000 lower than it currently is, then again what you are 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:16.760 exporting to the rest of the world. Again, all of 0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:22.920 this comes into the calculations because the expectation then may 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:25.720 be that it might be good to export on one 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:28.880 hand financially, but bad to export on another because of 0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:37.040 the environmental costs. This has passed the Parliament today. Of course, China, 0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:39.640 who is often a destination for a lot of this stuff, 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:41.520 but of course is a place that exports an awful 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:45.160 lot of garbage to us. Remember they're a developing country, 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:51.440 despite the fact that they have hosted two Olympic Games 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:58.360 so far this century, They've got a space station. They 0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:01.960 of course are a developing country. And as they developing country, 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:06.160 they are allowed to continue to pollute multiple times what 0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:10.640 Australia could even dream of putting into the atmosphere. And 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:15.280 they can keep surging until twenty thirty. And it's only 0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:17.640 at twenty thirty that they will be measured. We are 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:21.600 being measured on two thousand and five. We are one 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:25.080 percent of the world's emissions. There are thirty. We are 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:28.080 fighting already with one hand tied behind our back because 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:32.120 of the costs of labor, the cost of transport, the 0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:35.440 cost of electricity. But now the other hand is being 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:39.440 dragged behind your back. As the Washington Post said about China, 0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:41.200 that China is close to its peak when it comes 0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:42.960 to emissions, but of course they don't want to talk 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:47.040 about it and they won't give us any of the information. 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:53.280 This is a deeply serious decision which has been made today. 0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:55.640 And I don't say that because I'm in denial of 0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:57.920 climate change or don't understand that Australian needs to do 0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:00.760 its bit about one percent of the world world's problems. 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:05.040 But when we have now made it harder for the 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:08.440 people who make things in this country to be able 0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:10.640 to make more of them, to sell more of them, 0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:13.199 to ship more of them, than we have made a 0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:17.360 bad decision. But does that surprise you, Because of course 0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:22.160 this decision is not influenced by anyone who produces. It's 0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:25.320 influenced by the people who sit in the parliament and 0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:29.560 preen and show off and think that everything just grows 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:32.199 in the shop. Nobody had to make it, nobody had 0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:34.280 to import it, nobody had to try to export it. 0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:39.200 Somebody somewhere else to help subsidize the product. This will, 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:42.040 of course be, as I say, climate change denial. No, 0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:45.240 this is this a very bad deal that we will 0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:46.920 now be signed up to, and any attempt to change 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:49.720 it will of course be going back to the dark ages. 0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:55.719 Well watch this space. When it comes to the Prime Minister. 0:17:55.840 --> 0:17:59.160 He has been clobbered, absolutely clobbered for the past couple 0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:02.320 of weeks. In question, the Government has been appalling in 0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:05.359 the way that it has explained itself for dealt with 0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:11.040 or not explained the situation revolving visas coming from wartorn 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:14.640 parts of the Middle East. Yet again, another day where 0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:18.080 the parliamentary term has finished for a couple of weeks 0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:22.399 and the government was beaten black and blue metaphorically. 0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:27.199 I refer to the government's issuing of tourist visas to 0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:31.800 nearly three thousand people from the terrorists controlled Gaza war zone, 0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:36.000 with nearly one thousand, three hundred already arrived in Australia. 0:18:36.760 --> 0:18:40.800 Can the Prime Minister provide details on any concerns raised 0:18:40.800 --> 0:18:43.480 by the New South Wales State Police or the New 0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:46.119 South Wales Government regarding this matter? 0:18:46.320 --> 0:18:50.720 Prime Minister, will individuals currently in the terrorist controlled Garsa 0:18:50.800 --> 0:18:54.440 war zone who have already been granted a visa by 0:18:54.480 --> 0:18:58.600 this government be subject to face to face interviews or 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:03.159 biometric checks before they arrive in Australia. 0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:06.800 My question is to the Prime Minister how many people 0:19:06.840 --> 0:19:10.080 from the Gaza war zone has Qatar accepted. 0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:14.560 Yes, no questions, with no answers whatsoever, instead just spinning 0:19:14.600 --> 0:19:17.280 wheels and pretending that there's the opposition that has the problem, 0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:22.679 not the government being held account for its actions. Now 0:19:22.800 --> 0:19:24.560 nine times out of ten, the press gallery, as I 0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:27.240 so often talk about, they just swallow the labor line. 0:19:27.400 --> 0:19:30.080 They run the labor line, thankfully. Every now and then 0:19:30.160 --> 0:19:33.159 there are some examples of the truth pushing through, like 0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:35.040 Mark Riley did a couple of nights ago on. 0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:40.320 Seven correct question how many of the two nine hundred 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:43.119 visas from Gaza have been canceled? 0:19:43.359 --> 0:19:45.080 It's an indirect answer. 0:19:45.240 --> 0:19:48.359 We take the same advice from the same security agency. 0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:50.959 But of course there are plenty of people that are 0:19:50.960 --> 0:19:53.359 willing to be the praetorian guard around their preferred Prime 0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:57.680 minister and their preferred government. Seemingly one of those would 0:19:57.680 --> 0:20:01.000 work for the Channel nine newspapers. It's not just my view, 0:20:01.000 --> 0:20:02.639 it's the view, of course, of Peter Dutton about a 0:20:02.680 --> 0:20:07.480 blow called David Crow. When Murferou, the old Guardian journalist, 0:20:07.600 --> 0:20:09.800 joined the Prime Minister's office to become a spin doctor, 0:20:10.000 --> 0:20:13.760 Peter Dutton decided and couldn't help but say that the 0:20:13.800 --> 0:20:18.000 real outrage was that David Crow missed out what more 0:20:18.040 --> 0:20:19.960 must he do to prove his credentials to be formally 0:20:19.960 --> 0:20:23.320 employed by the Labor Party, And that has seemingly never 0:20:23.359 --> 0:20:25.680 been truer than what happened in the past couple of days. 0:20:25.680 --> 0:20:28.520 You see, one of the lines of defense of those 0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:32.120 that have no defense for their actions was to pretend 0:20:32.240 --> 0:20:34.960 that this is just a small issue, that nobody cares 0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:38.959 about it whatsoever, That there isn't baked into the DNA 0:20:39.200 --> 0:20:43.280 of Australia a love of its borders, I want to 0:20:43.320 --> 0:20:48.960 protect its culture, an awareness of the multicultural nature of 0:20:49.000 --> 0:20:52.119 our country. But the point being that there must be 0:20:52.800 --> 0:20:57.840 a system of processes that mean that you're able to 0:20:57.880 --> 0:21:01.080 get here, and only the people who fit the highest 0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:05.720 standards are the ones who end up coming here. Now again, 0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:08.199 why am I talking about this bloke? Because this was 0:21:08.280 --> 0:21:10.879 the defense from the Labor Party when they were getting 0:21:11.119 --> 0:21:17.479 beaten senseless metaphorically in the Parliament this week. Beggars belief. 0:21:17.960 --> 0:21:21.600 When this is the main game right around Australia, that 0:21:21.680 --> 0:21:25.679 those opposite can't manage to ask even a single question 0:21:26.280 --> 0:21:30.040 about the cost of living pressures that people are confronting, 0:21:30.160 --> 0:21:33.679 not one idea about fighting inflation, not one policy for 0:21:33.760 --> 0:21:34.600 the cost of living. 0:21:35.800 --> 0:21:37.800 Well, you see a version of that. There were many 0:21:37.880 --> 0:21:40.400 versions of it that were there turned up in the 0:21:40.920 --> 0:21:44.520 analysis section of the person who's also the straight news 0:21:44.560 --> 0:21:47.159 journalist in the other part of the paper. Tell me 0:21:47.200 --> 0:21:50.640 how that works. But still Dutton is placing all these 0:21:50.640 --> 0:21:52.720 bets on an issue not crucial to voters, because you 0:21:52.760 --> 0:21:55.960 see they're pretending nobody anywhere is talking about what's happening 0:21:55.960 --> 0:21:57.240 when it comes to the Middle East. And if you are, 0:21:57.320 --> 0:21:59.560 it's only kind of five percent of the country. No, 0:22:00.200 --> 0:22:03.440 the extreme majority of Australians have opinions about our borders. 0:22:04.160 --> 0:22:08.520 Every poll, every time tells us this. How he holds 0:22:08.520 --> 0:22:10.200 water for the Labour Party. Here is the big question 0:22:10.200 --> 0:22:13.160 for the coming election is whether this will matter. Will 0:22:13.160 --> 0:22:16.480 this relentless focus on Garza work for Dunton, Will it 0:22:16.560 --> 0:22:20.359 help Green's leader Adam band or will it help the 0:22:20.400 --> 0:22:24.720 Prime Minister Anthony Ibnezi appeal to Australians with a moderate message. 0:22:25.400 --> 0:22:28.800 See again see the sales pitch there. Oh, the craziest 0:22:28.800 --> 0:22:30.280 is to the left of the crazies. To the right, 0:22:30.320 --> 0:22:33.480 it's the man in the Middle who's oh so reasonable, 0:22:34.359 --> 0:22:36.120 the man of the Middle who can't answer the yes 0:22:36.119 --> 0:22:39.359 no question, the yes no question about the support of 0:22:39.359 --> 0:22:45.879 a terrorist organization extraordinary right. So while there will be 0:22:45.960 --> 0:22:49.160 no professional consequences, no doubt because of even my criticism, 0:22:49.680 --> 0:22:51.320 you know he'll be named Journalists of the Year and 0:22:51.320 --> 0:22:54.240 get lots of awards. Remember, David Crowe also has to 0:22:54.280 --> 0:22:58.360 write the stories about the opinion polls. It is own 0:22:58.359 --> 0:23:03.960 newspaper like this one that shows that when asked, fifty 0:23:03.960 --> 0:23:07.320 one percent of people think the moderate Prime Minister his 0:23:07.440 --> 0:23:10.879 performance is poor or very poor. The issue is not 0:23:11.080 --> 0:23:15.320 about the Middle East. The issue is about borders, protecting 0:23:15.400 --> 0:23:18.560 the borders and maintaining the standards of who gets to 0:23:18.640 --> 0:23:21.400 cross them to join us here in the greatest country 0:23:21.640 --> 0:23:23.920 of all And as I have said a thousand times before, 0:23:23.960 --> 0:23:25.720 and I have to say for one thousand and one, 0:23:26.000 --> 0:23:29.320 because there are those that will deliberately and intentionally misrepresent 0:23:31.800 --> 0:23:34.640 as I have said, as I have caused great offense 0:23:34.720 --> 0:23:38.320 to some people. It is very obvious that Australia has 0:23:38.359 --> 0:23:40.440 a refugee program and from all parts of the world 0:23:40.480 --> 0:23:43.040 and all conflicts of the world, if people meet the standard, 0:23:43.080 --> 0:23:46.280 then they are accepted into our country. That is the 0:23:46.320 --> 0:23:50.119 reality of our refugee system, the idea that those people 0:23:50.280 --> 0:23:52.880 should somehow have different types of checks depending on where 0:23:52.880 --> 0:23:55.720 they come from. Yeah, people do have an opinion on that. 0:23:58.040 --> 0:24:00.760 Meantime to the age care side of things here, and 0:24:01.000 --> 0:24:03.040 there was some pressure that has finally been put onto 0:24:03.040 --> 0:24:05.160 the government to actually tell us what is going on here, 0:24:05.440 --> 0:24:07.800 What is going on when it comes to aged care 0:24:08.200 --> 0:24:11.000 and user pays and how much more will people have 0:24:11.040 --> 0:24:13.720 to pay? And who is going to be declared rich? 0:24:14.040 --> 0:24:16.120 Will it be the amount of money in your bank account, 0:24:16.240 --> 0:24:18.679 your super the value of your house, All of this 0:24:18.840 --> 0:24:23.040
