WEBVTT - Sharri | 29 October 0:00:01.680 --> 0:00:08.000 Live on Sky News. This is Sharry Good Evening, Welcome 0:00:08.000 --> 0:00:08.600 to the show. 0:00:08.840 --> 0:00:13.120 Alberizi tonight accused of breaching the Ministerial Code of Conduct 0:00:13.480 --> 0:00:18.440 by soliciting business flight upgrades. Peter Dutton wants the Corruption 0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:23.120 Commission to investigate, and Albanzi has also given a misleading 0:00:23.200 --> 0:00:27.440 answer over why his son had chairman's lounge access. Joe 0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:30.280 Aston will be on my show tonight and boy does 0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:32.600 he hit back at Albanzi. 0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:37.040 The ones who bang on the most about their origin story, 0:00:37.080 --> 0:00:38.760 you know, about how they grew up in a brown 0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:40.960 paper bag or they floated to an Australia on a 0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:44.159 stick of spaghetti. They're always the ones who are most 0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:47.680 are most susceptible to the high life. And I think 0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:51.000 it's certainly true that for someone who came from so little, 0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:55.320 Albanesi has an insatiable appetite for VIP travel and hospitality. 0:00:56.920 --> 0:01:00.680 That's coming up also tonight, Petty Wong furious that Israel 0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:04.600 dared to block a UN organization that has a long 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:09.399 history of supporting terror. Why would the Foreign Minister be 0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:13.200 so upset about this? Chris Mitchell would join me to discuss, 0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:16.399 and eight days out from the US election, will Cross 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:19.880 Live to Washington, where Adam Crichton will break down the 0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:22.120 latest positive poll for Trump. 0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:25.759 But as one comedian's bad joke cost him votes. 0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:28.399 I'm going to discuss that with Bronwin Bishop and Caleb 0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:32.800 Bond in a moment. But first tonight, accusations that Anthony 0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:37.440 Alberzi has misled voters about why his son had chairman's 0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:41.960 lounge access. This comes as Peter Dutton accuses alben Ezi 0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:46.640 of breaching the Ministerial Code of Conduct. His also said 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:51.160 this entire matter should be referred to the Corruption Commission 0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:56.680 for investigation. Now this has now become a political scandal. 0:01:57.320 --> 0:02:02.000 Albinizi is accused of misleading voters over why he asked 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:06.600 the QUANTT chief executive Alan Joyce for a chairman's lounge 0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:08.440 access for his son Nathan. 0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:09.720 Now, when this. 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:14.520 Revelation first emerged over a year ago, Albanezy refused to 0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:18.120 comment on it at all. The Prime Minister had never 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:22.679 disclosed this gift on his register of interests. But this 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:26.960 week he finally spoke about it and he claimed that 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:29.680 his son was his new plus one. 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:30.360 Have a look. 0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:36.160 All that happened was my relationship ended. My relationship ended, 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:38.480 and my plus one when that happened, and I put 0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:41.280 out a media release when my marriage ended. You can't 0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:44.919 be more transparent than that, and my plus one became 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:45.400 my son. 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:50.640 That seemed to satisfy the journalists at the press conference. 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:53.840 But is it true. Not quite. 0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:57.560 Albaneze claimed as he heard that Carmel Tebbert was his 0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:01.720 plus one, But in fact I'm told that she had 0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:07.480 her own Quantus chairman's lounge access, completely independent of Albanesi, 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:10.560 and she was of course Deputy Premiere in New South 0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:15.960 Wales and also Education Minister. And secondly, by the time 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:21.639 Albanesi asked Alan Joyce to give his son the lounge access, well, 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:25.800 he'd split up from Carmel Tebbert around three years earlier. 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:29.920 Joe Aston explains this discrepancy in the interview I've. 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:32.640 Done with him that's airing on the show tonight. Have 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:33.120 a look. 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:37.680 I find again, I find that an implausible explanation because 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:41.440 Jody Hayden was disclosed by Albanesi in his Register of 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:44.560 interest in October twenty twenty two as Albanese's plus one, 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:46.960 So how can his son be his plus one? 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:51.520 There's just so many holes in all of Albanese's answers 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:53.880 and Joe Aston coming up on the show a bit later. 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:57.880 He also responds to the claims from Albanzi that the 0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:02.840 journalist is targeting his faumily by focusing on his son's 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:06.560 chairman's lounge access. So what we've seen today and you 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:09.040 know this by now, that the Prime Minister is now 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:14.040 attacking Joe Aston a journalist, instead of just being straightforward 0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:17.880 and honest and open with voters about all of this. 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:22.680 Alban Easy repeatedly promised that he was going to do 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:28.239 politics differently. But we're not seeing transparency. We're only seeing 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:30.680 attacks on Aston. 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:34.480 The person who is trying to sell a book, and 0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:38.719 fair enough, I don't see decorations that he's a former 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:42.560 Liberal Party staffer for a number of senior members of 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:46.039 the Liberal Party, including Joe Hockey and Bruce Bird. I 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:49.400 don't see decorations he as a former Counus employee. I 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:53.000 don't see decorations. In June, just a few months ago, 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:57.200 he was a guest him and John Howard, a Liberal 0:04:57.200 --> 0:05:00.440 Party fundraiser in the electorate of Worth. 0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:05.000 I mean, come on, this is petulant. Seriously, a prime 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:10.120 minister under scrutiny for integrity issues, starts attacking a journalist. 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:15.240 Albanize cannot avoid answering questions by hitting out at Joe Aston. 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:20.240 Not that it's relevant, but Joe Aston's disclosures are pretty clear. 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:24.839 On page one of this book, he discloses that he 0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:28.520 did previously work for both Quantas and the Liberal Party. 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:31.719 And by the way, that's probably why he has such 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:36.240 good access to intel. It's beside the point. This isn't 0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:40.200 about Aston's disclosures. He's not getting a taxpayer funded salary. 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:45.760 He's not answerable to voters. This is about Albernizi's disclosures. 0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:49.760 That's what matters and Albanize He also refused to directly 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:55.760 answer questions about whether he requested or solicited the gifts 0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:57.880 from his mate Alan Joyce. 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:01.800 Did you call Alan Joys personally for these upgrades? 0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:09.520 The idea Quannas have a number in terms of bookings 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:12.479 that are private bookings. 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:16.640 So no denial at all, just yet again deflection by 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:20.920 talking about some private number and on that what is 0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:25.600 he talking about a number for private bookings. The Quantus 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:27.479 number that you and I have access to is the 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:30.320 one three one three, one three number where you're left 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:34.599 on hold for hours. The number Albanese he had for 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:40.480 private bookings for upgrades is Alan Joyce's personal mobile number. 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:46.000 He was basically his travel agent. And today we saw 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:49.760 Albinezi also tried to attack his political opponents for the number. 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:51.119 Of upgrades that they've had. 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:54.640 I mean, it's like a child saying, oh, but that 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:58.720 kid also stole the lollipop. This is extraordinary stuff from 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:04.279 the prime minister who promised a new era of transparency 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:05.640 in politics. 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:08.240 I want to bring people together and I want to 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:11.200 change the way that politics is conducted in this country. 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:14.600 And I do believe that we can do politics better 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:16.200 and I hope to do so. 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:17.760 Well. 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:20.600 Maybe Albenesi should read up on the Code of Conduct 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:24.520 for Ministers because it does state that yep, they're allowed 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:28.960 to accept gifts, but they must not seek or encourage 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:32.920 any form of gift in their personal capacity. That's a 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:37.520 direct quote. And there are now quite serious questions over 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:43.120 whether the Prime Minister breached those ministerial Code of Conduct rules, 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:47.080 and Peter Darton says he has well. 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:50.360 Certainly, on the face of reading the Gillard government minister 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:52.920 or Code of Conduct, the Prime Minister has breached that 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:53.840 by his own admission. 0:07:55.400 --> 0:08:00.000 At no point has Albanese denied that he personally asked 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:03.920 that enjoys for upgrades worth tens of thousands of dollars 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:06.480 and if he asked for them it would be in 0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:08.880 breach as I've just shown you of the Ministerial Code 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:13.600 of Conduct. Parliament resumes next week, so it's very possible 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:17.680 that if alban Easy doesn't refer himself to the Corruption Commission, 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:21.520 which let's be Frank is not going to, then the 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:25.720 Coalition might make that referral. Just months out from the 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:34.120 federal election, things couldn't be looking worse for alban Easy now. 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:37.520 Australia's premiers have been blasted for their handling of the 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:42.040 COVID nineteen pandemic, with the Federal Inquiry report released today 0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:46.040 saying that some differences were not easily explained and no 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:51.560 rationale was provided. This included the operation of state border 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:56.560 closures that states enacted unilaterally and that lacked consistency and 0:08:56.640 --> 0:09:03.400 compassion in implementation, stating the obvious. The inquiry also found 0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:07.360 that vaccine mandates has reduced the motivation of some people 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:10.320 to be vaccinated for COVID nineteen and has led to 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:16.160 ongoing reluctance to receive vaccines. Now, the main recommendation from 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:19.560 this inquiry is to set up a CDC, a Center 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:22.120 for disease control like they have in the United States, 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:25.120 which by the way, didn't do any better than Australia. 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:29.439 But what's so appalling about this is that the Albanezy 0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:34.839 government had already decided to set up a CDC long 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:40.679 before the inquiry recommendations came out. The website has been 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:46.040 built for literally more than eight or nine months, so 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:50.400 this was a foregone conclusion. It wasn't an outcome of 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:52.439 this report, as the minister's. 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:52.680 Told us today. 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:56.319 And worst of all, the main action to prevent another 0:09:56.400 --> 0:10:01.360 pandemic would be to investigate the origins of COVID nineteen, 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:04.080 work out why this virus spread. 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:04.480 Around the world. 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:11.319 But not once has Albanezi asked Chinese President Shijingping his 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:15.840 good mate about this, not once, because it was Scott 0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:18.640 Morrison's demand for an inquiry into the origins of the 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:23.640 virus that sparked China's aggression against Australia in the first place, 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:25.480 including all. 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:26.400 The trade tariffs. 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:30.480 But to prevent another pandemic, we do need to know 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:34.560 how it began. We do need a ban on dangerous 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:39.199 gain of function research, risky research that was initially banned 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:44.920 under the Obama administration for viruses like coronaviruses. Yet now 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:47.520 gainer function research is taking place. 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:53.120 All over the world. We need a proper commission of inquiry. 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:56.400 This inquiry that we've seen the results of today was 0:10:56.440 --> 0:11:02.160 a whitewash, no proper scrutiny. Mark Butler today we've heard 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:06.480 him speak about the paper trayal and faxes. I mean, seriously, 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:09.120 that's not the sort of tough questions that need to 0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:14.120 be examined to ensure we don't have another pandemic, and 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:17.320 if we do, to make sure that the authorities know 0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:23.160 how to handle it. Okay, lots to talk about tonight. 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:26.280 Joe Aston coming up, plus Chris Mitchell on his incredible 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:30.600 column this week about how Jews are the indigenous people 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:33.400 of Israel. But first now let's bring in tonight's panel, 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:36.840 Sky News host kayleb Bond and our regular former Speaker 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:38.200 of the House Bronwin Bishop. 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:41.840 Welcome to you both. Look, let's start by talking. 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:46.800 About Anthony Albanisi and this quantus scandal. Bronwin Bishop Peter 0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:50.080 Dutton has said that the Prime Minister should refer himself 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:54.520 to the Corruption Commission. How serious are the integrity issues 0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:57.079 here that the PM has to answer for? 0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:00.480 Well, I guess the issues are being clearly spilled out today, 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:04.240 and that is the code of conduct, not being allowed 0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:06.920 to ask for a gift as to think from being 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:09.719 offered one when it's got a monetary value of three 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:14.320 hundred and fifty dollars and seven hundred dollars. And also 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:18.200 the question of whether when you're the regulating minister, whether 0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:21.040 you're in a really serious conflict of interest situation. 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:23.800 So there where. 0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:26.120 Is he the big point, isn't it? It's very conflict 0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:26.560 of interest? 0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:29.520 Yes, So the question is and of course people then 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:34.880 related to the Kata Airlines decision of not allowing them 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:38.000 to come in and I think Albinizi said he. 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:40.280 Was protecting the national interest? 0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:41.520 Was he? 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:45.400 We don't know. So it is a serious issue. 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:49.240 And I remember that Gladys bear A Jiglian was knocked 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:53.560 out of the premiership because she had reached the code 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:57.400 of conduct among other things. So there is a seriousness 0:12:57.440 --> 0:12:59.840 about it, which is more. 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:03.960 Than Farrell and the bottle of another breach there, yees. 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:05.840 So it's a serious issue. 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:09.920 Whether he refers himself or not to the institution he 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:14.400 created will be interested. They were, I think quite anxious 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:21.040 to offer a couple of former Coalition ministers after that commission. 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:22.880 So it remains to be seen. 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:28.840 But that train wreck of a press conference he gave today, 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:30.320 Why was he doing it? 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:33.559 Where are his friends? And then you asked the question 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:35.080 do they really want to get. 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:36.439 Rid of him? 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:39.560 I mean, if Albanezy truly believes he has nothing to hide, 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:41.680 he should come out and say, yep, sure, get the 0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:45.400 Corruption Commission to investigate, because I'm an open book. But 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:49.880 we haven't seen him do that. From the coalition's perspective, 0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:52.840 they say the balls in his court now. It is 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:55.160 possible that they could make that referral though next week 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:58.680 when Parliament resumes. Caleb, before I get your response, I 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:01.160 want to show you just how much of a subject 0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:05.120 of ridicule Albanize is becoming. This was the West Australian 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:08.800 Front page today by editor Christopher Door. Have a look 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:13.280 Business Class Warrior showing Albanizi and the Quantus PJS. 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:16.400 Obviously that's not a real photograph. That's a bit of 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:18.040 a lock up, Caleb. 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:21.800 We can't imagine Alberizi getting changed into his PJS though, 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:25.240 when he has those, you know, twenty two plus flight 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:26.680 upgrades to business class. 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:29.360 I don't want to imagine him changing into his pj's. 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:32.040 There's probably a better picture than you know, after we 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:34.760 lost all that weight, before he had the car crash, 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:37.880 of course, but he said when he says that he 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:41.320 was going to do politics better, he's certainly done one 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:44.000 thing better, and that's get his snout in the trough. Now, 0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:46.240 this was going on long before he was Prime minister. 0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:49.240 Of course, we're talking most importantly about when he was 0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:53.200 Transport minister. And he knows he's on the ropes. That's 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:55.720 why he gave the response he gave today. He went 0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:57.920 up a dry gully and he can't back out of 0:14:57.960 --> 0:15:01.600 it because he knows what he had done. And I 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:03.920 know there's been the comparison drawn, and he's tried to 0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:04.760 draw the comparison. 0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:05.800 No, Well, lots of. 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:09.760 Politicians accept gifts from Quantus and upgrades from Quantus. That 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:12.920 might be so, but how many others have picked up 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:17.040 the phone directly to the CEO of Quantus while they 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:20.360 are Transport minister and ask for an upgrade, not on 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:23.840 a business trip, but on a personal trip. And when 0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:28.120 you are the minister in charge who has a decision 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:31.720 over what airlines are allowed to operate in this country, 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:35.080 the slots that they are allowed to have in this country. 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:38.280 It is such a direct conflict of interest that some 0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:40.520 people might look at that. And we're talking about him 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:43.320 being referred to the Corruption Commission and asked the question, 0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:47.880 was that corrupt conduct? He can't answer that because he 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:51.760 knows what he has done, regardless of the law, does 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:55.560 not look good. It cuts through because you and I, 0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:58.840 as you said before, if we wanted to get a flight, 0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:01.400 if we pick up the phone to someone, we're sitting 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:04.240 there for four hours trying to talk to someone, not 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:07.360 Anthony Alberansi. This is a major issue, not just for 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:10.000 the Prime Minister now, but for the way that the 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:13.320 airline industry is run in this country. It should not 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:15.760 be in the hands of a minister at all. As 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:18.360 far as I'm concerned, you can't blame Joyce for doing 0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:20.200 what he's done. Of course he's want to curry favor 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:23.920 with the Transport Minister, but he ought to know better Albanzi, 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:26.800 that is than to get on the blower and ask 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:28.560 for a gift. It's a terrible look. 0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:31.200 Yeah, Joyce has done nothing wrong, He's done nothing illegal. 0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:33.960 This is all on the questions are all for Albansi, 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:36.400 and it just shows again how out of touch it is. 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:39.600 We're in a cost of living crisis. Australians can barely 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:43.920 afford interstate travel at the moment in economy. And I 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:45.520 don't know about you Tube, but you know I've heard 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:47.480 a lot of people say, oh, yes, I've had an upgrade. 0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:50.280 I'll tell you what. Every time I fly, I always say, 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:52.800 can I have an upgrade? No one has ever once 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:55.320 said yes at quandas or whichever. 0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:58.600 I only get with points, So I haven't been off 0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:00.640 a one joy sweat. 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:02.200 Were you when I needed you for him? 0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:04.239 You just can't get upgrade? So there you go. 0:17:05.000 --> 0:17:09.919 Let's look at this COVID inquiry report Bronwen. This was 0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:14.280 particularly scathing of vaccine mandates, but really only from the 0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:17.920 perspective of now vaccine hesitancy. 0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:22.160 Well, I think that the report is an absolute disgrace 0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:25.320 because what we needed was a Royal Commissioner, and the 0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:30.600 parameters of the report were such that investigating what individual states, 0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:35.200 particularly the premiers did was excluded from the inquiry and reporting. 0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:39.240 So what we're seeing is let's blame the previous federal 0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:44.000 government for what they did. Now there's the treasurer out there, 0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:47.040 the snake charmer, because. 0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:49.560 It's all an illusion. There he was out there. 0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:53.520 Today saying, oh, well they were responsible, they the former 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:58.720 coalition government for giving us inflation. But at the same 0:17:58.800 --> 0:18:03.000 time there were the shadow tasure demanding that the coalitions 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:04.879 spend more and keep spending it for longer. 0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:06.080 So there is. 0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:10.160 Absolutely no no integrity in that man's answer at all. 0:18:10.200 --> 0:18:13.320 Today he banks on the fact that probably people will 0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:16.560 forget what he said last time. So the thing that 0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:20.600 concerns me also is the establishment of this Center for 0:18:20.960 --> 0:18:24.879 Disease Control. I mean, it sounds all wellian to start with, 0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:28.040 and to me, I'm linking it up with the stated 0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:32.320 intention of the government to sign up to this United 0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:39.520 Nations World Health Organization proposed treaty that would mean that 0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:42.679 the World Health Organization could say, well, we've got a 0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:44.959 pandemic and this is what you, Australia have got to do, 0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:47.239 and this is what and so and so forth, so 0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:49.679 you would have this so called independent body. 0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:50.960 And again the. 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:53.680 US had a CDC and they were still hit hard 0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:54.639 by the pandemics. 0:18:55.000 --> 0:18:56.400 Is going to be some not. 0:18:56.960 --> 0:19:00.560 But I am still worried about this treaty because you 0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:04.360 can sign a treaty, but nothing happens until legislation imports 0:19:04.359 --> 0:19:07.760 it into domestic law. Is this the first step of 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:09.520 importing it into domestic law? 0:19:10.119 --> 0:19:12.000 I wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw. 0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:14.399 That they were really compromised by China. 0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:17.440 They gave out misleading information in the WHO They told 0:19:17.480 --> 0:19:20.320 everyone that COVID nineteen and there was no human to 0:19:20.400 --> 0:19:21.280 human transmission. 0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:23.600 In fact, it was a highly infectious virus. 0:19:23.240 --> 0:19:25.840 And they still insisted on telling people that if you 0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:28.600 got vaccinated, you would then. 0:19:28.600 --> 0:19:32.440 Not infect anybody else. That was an absolute lie. 0:19:32.880 --> 0:19:38.199 All it did was allegedly make the disease less in 0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:41.000 your own body. You are not a risk to anybody 0:19:41.040 --> 0:19:43.560 else in your own body. It was supposed to make 0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:44.159 it less. 0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:45.600 Now we've got. 0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:47.679 What thousands of people who are walking around who have 0:19:47.760 --> 0:19:52.200 been affected by the vaccinations because. 0:19:51.840 --> 0:19:56.160 Of the reactions they had. They were rushed through so much. 0:19:56.560 --> 0:19:58.920 There weren't so much to look at in a royal 0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:04.560 commission that will hopefully prevent unproven things being pumped into 0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:05.320 people's bodies. 0:20:05.440 --> 0:20:08.119 Yeah, very quick response, Caleb. I'm sure we'll hear more 0:20:08.160 --> 0:20:09.760 from you about this at ten o'clock tonight. 0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:10.120 Yeah. 0:20:10.240 --> 0:20:12.960 Look, I mean the vaccine stuff seriously. I mean the 0:20:13.040 --> 0:20:16.760 report says that it was the rollout of vaccines was 0:20:16.800 --> 0:20:20.280 too slow and that cost lives. Well, no, I think 0:20:20.320 --> 0:20:22.480 the damage that was done by the States cost a 0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:26.040 lot more lives. And as for a CDC, the one 0:20:26.160 --> 0:20:30.119 thing that really went wrong during COVID was bureaucrats running 0:20:30.160 --> 0:20:32.520 the show. And now we're being told the one thing 0:20:32.560 --> 0:20:34.919 that would save us if this ever happened again is 0:20:34.960 --> 0:20:37.800 to have another outfit with even more bureaucrats in it, 0:20:38.080 --> 0:20:39.280 pull the other way that had joke. 0:20:39.560 --> 0:20:41.919 And by the way, when is anyone going to apologize 0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:46.159 for taping up children's playgrounds like there were some rhyme scene. 0:20:46.520 --> 0:20:48.800 I mean absolutely ridiculous. 0:20:48.880 --> 0:20:52.280 Children were barely affected by COVID if they were healthy, 0:20:52.359 --> 0:20:54.720 young kids, and they couldn't even go to a playground. 0:20:54.800 --> 0:20:59.040 I mean, those lost childhoods. Never get them back. All right, 0:20:59.119 --> 0:21:01.760 kayleb Bond, BNT Brenwan Bishop, thank you both so much, 0:21:01.800 --> 0:21:05.400 and we'll see you at ten o'clock tonight. Now, since 0:21:05.440 --> 0:21:09.840 the October seven terror attacks, we've seen outrageous claims from 0:21:09.880 --> 0:21:14.600 pro Palestinian activists that Jews should be expelled from Israel, 0:21:15.240 --> 0:21:18.600 a one state solution from the river to the sea. Well, 0:21:18.640 --> 0:21:25.040 these activists push misinformation. They're presenting Jews as white colonizers, 0:21:25.680 --> 0:21:29.280 ignoring the reality that Jews are indigenous to the land 0:21:29.320 --> 0:21:33.159 of Israel. And the reality is that in many parts 0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:38.400 of the Middle East, like Iran, Syria and Iraq, Christians 0:21:38.680 --> 0:21:42.280 and Jews have been persecuted and expelled. 0:21:43.080 --> 0:21:43.240 Well. 0:21:43.280 --> 0:21:45.240 I spoke to the former editor in chief of The 0:21:45.280 --> 0:21:49.760 Australian Current columnist Chris Mitchell about this a little earlier. 0:21:51.240 --> 0:21:53.919 Chris Mitchell, thank you so much for joining me. 0:21:54.200 --> 0:21:57.280 You've written an exceptional column and it's been one of 0:21:57.280 --> 0:22:00.639 the most well read articles on the Australian website. You 0:22:00.720 --> 0:22:03.720 write about how Jews are presented as colonizers. 0:22:04.160 --> 0:22:06.560 This is far from the truth, Chris. 0:22:06.560 --> 0:22:09.720 Can you explain to us how Jews are actually indigenous 0:22:09.800 --> 0:22:10.840 to the land of Israel. 0:22:11.200 --> 0:22:14.640 The truth is they're the direct inheritors of the original 0:22:14.720 --> 0:22:21.080 Canaanite civilization in the area. So just as Aboriginal Australians 0:22:21.119 --> 0:22:24.480 would say they are the original people here and everyone 0:22:24.480 --> 0:22:27.720 who came after them are colonizers, the truth is the 0:22:27.800 --> 0:22:31.400 Jews are the original inhabitants of that part of the Levant. 0:22:33.040 --> 0:22:37.000 I'd say they meet virtually all of the seven UN 0:22:37.920 --> 0:22:42.040 criteria for indigeneity, and there are sort of an ethno 0:22:42.160 --> 0:22:45.360 religious group much the same way as Australian Aborigines are. 0:22:45.440 --> 0:22:49.359 So it's not just a religion like Islam, it's a 0:22:49.840 --> 0:22:53.680 religion identified with the people, and those people have been 0:22:53.720 --> 0:22:58.000 from that area forever and they have the same genealogical 0:22:58.040 --> 0:23:03.080 and genetic back to the Canaanites wherever they are in 0:23:03.119 --> 0:23:03.520 the world. 0:23:04.920 --> 0:23:07.960 Chris Jews were connected with the land of Israel for 0:23:08.040 --> 0:23:11.640 at least at least a thousand years before the religion 0:23:11.720 --> 0:23:13.520 of Islam even began. 0:23:14.320 --> 0:23:14.520 Yeah. 0:23:14.600 --> 0:23:18.040
