Speaker 1: Late Welcome to the Late deb Base. Good evening and
Speaker 1: welcome to the program. I'm kayleb Bond with Joe Hildebrand,
Speaker 1: who's trying to do the cryptic crossword and Liz Storer.
Speaker 1: What's coming up in the show tonight? Karjackings through the
Speaker 1: Roof in Victoria will tell you who is responsible for
Speaker 1: the majority of them. It may will shock you the
Speaker 1: amazing cost, huge cost of taking the queen off the
Speaker 1: five dollar note. It costs a lot of money. It
Speaker 1: turns out to trash, the monarchy. And the dog that
Speaker 1: decided to take on a croc, We'll show you that
Speaker 1: on the front of the INNT news. And the former
Speaker 1: Queensland Premiere gets himself into a powerlifting competition. We'll show
Speaker 1: you how that went a little bit later. Now you know,
Speaker 1: if you're a regular viewer of this program or any
Speaker 1: other program on which I appear on this network, that
Speaker 1: I do not like counsels. I have it in for them.
Speaker 1: I have had for a very long time, ever since
Speaker 1: I started as a local government reporter in Adelaide about
Speaker 1: a decade ago. And with every passing day there is
Speaker 1: just yet another reason I think we must be up
Speaker 1: to five hundred and fifty seven, two hundred and forty nine,
Speaker 1: now why they ought to be abolished? And tonight it
Speaker 1: comes in the form of Liverpool Council in Sydney.
Speaker 2: Where would you.
Speaker 1: Believe they have managed to spend more than three hundred
Speaker 1: thousand dollars investigating sixty seven complaints made by councilors about
Speaker 1: other councilors in just six months. This was in the
Speaker 1: Sydney Morning Herald today. They reported that the council urged
Speaker 1: the New South Wales Office of Local Government to intervene
Speaker 1: after report found staff had received these sixty seven complaints
Speaker 1: about councilor's conduct since September, more than a dozen times
Speaker 1: the number of complaints in all of twenty twenty three
Speaker 1: twenty four. So that means sixty seven complaints in six
Speaker 1: months up to March when they received this report, and
Speaker 1: five in the financial year before that. I mean, here
Speaker 1: do you go from five plaints to sixty seven complaints?
Speaker 1: The Sydney Morning Herald suggests this may have something to
Speaker 1: do with a stout between the me and Ned Balloon
Speaker 1: and his political rival Peter Ristevski. We shall find some
Speaker 1: of that detail out in the wash.
Speaker 3: I suspect.
Speaker 1: But these sixty seven complaints, fourteen of them are currently
Speaker 1: under investigation. Fourteen are being reviewed externally. That's code for
Speaker 1: we sent them to lawyers. That's what they're paying all
Speaker 1: this money for. Twenty three are being looked at internally
Speaker 1: and only four of them were not back for having
Speaker 1: no basis whatsoever. There is also a public integrity inquiry
Speaker 1: coming up into this council in June. They're going to
Speaker 1: have public sessions to discuss whether or not this council
Speaker 1: has engaged in misconduct after reports that came out last year.
Speaker 1: And you'd have to think, Liz, with sixty seven complaints
Speaker 1: on the book to the tune of about three hundred
Speaker 1: and forty k in legal fees, there's certainly something they
Speaker 1: need to be dealing with at this council.
Speaker 2: These people aren't fit to serve.
Speaker 4: What kind of narcissists do you have to be to
Speaker 4: take up this.
Speaker 2: Much time of council staff and all.
Speaker 4: Their efforts to sort out your petty squabbles amongst each other,
Speaker 4: rather than just being grown up adults who are elected
Speaker 4: to serve, And that's what you're supposed to be spending
Speaker 4: your time looking after. They all run for local government,
Speaker 4: being like I just want to make our patch a
Speaker 4: wonderful place to live, to grow up, to have a family, etc.
Speaker 2: And so on.
Speaker 4: And then they get in there and they're so consumed
Speaker 4: by their own in house rivalries and bickering and pettiness.
Speaker 2: They're chewing through hundreds of thousands.
Speaker 4: Of rappayer I was about to say, tax dollars whatever.
Speaker 4: They're chewing through all this money, all this time that
Speaker 4: that council staff could be spending on running the jolly council.
Speaker 2: It's just ridiculous.
Speaker 4: Get a life, get a life, your losers grow. You're
Speaker 4: elected representatives now, and this isn't what anyone elected you
Speaker 4: to do.
Speaker 5: It's embarrassing, Joe, It's just amazing. It's just so incredible
Speaker 5: to watch. It's like a tiny it's like a mini
Speaker 5: sort of Donald Trump's thing happening just right for us
Speaker 5: in southwest Sydney. So the background of all this is
Speaker 5: you've got this kind of firebrand or not fire brown,
Speaker 5: but like colorful local identity if you like, called Ned Manoon.
Speaker 5: Who's this little sort of pocket rocket dynamo guy.
Speaker 3: He's a liberal.
Speaker 5: He's governing an area which by rights should be Labor heartland,
Speaker 5: and we're seeing some of these shifts at the federal
Speaker 5: election as well, you know, with things like die Lee
Speaker 5: coming in in the seat of Fowler right, run by
Speaker 5: Frank Carbone as the mayor of Fairfield, pretty similar to
Speaker 5: Ned Manoon. I saw Ned last week at the Daily
Speaker 5: Telegraphs Western Sydney Forum.
Speaker 3: How ain't it?
Speaker 5: But you know, he's been accused of a lot of stuff.
Speaker 5: He's basically run the council. I think he got in
Speaker 5: in twenty sixteen or something, so he's held on to
Speaker 5: this thing for dear life, when technically he sort of
Speaker 5: should be from the opposite party. And a lot of
Speaker 5: these people were former Labour who then go to Liberal,
Speaker 5: but I don't.
Speaker 3: Think he was anyway, So he's got this. So he's
Speaker 3: got this.
Speaker 5: Hold on the council and there's this massive kind of
Speaker 5: feud with this guy Ristevski, as you say, and Ristevski
Speaker 5: has obviously fallen out and then set up this Facebook page.
Speaker 6: Accountant this is the Twisters, right, So instead of this
Speaker 6: Facebook page, he's called Ned Manoon all sorts of mean things,
Speaker 6: including a criminal grab Ned Susan.
Speaker 3: The lawso doesn't work.
Speaker 5: But again to that, this guy is Deadnoon's former accountant.
Speaker 7: Now, if there is anyone you don't want to get offside,
Speaker 7: if there's anyone you don't want, I mean my accountant.
Speaker 3: But god knows what I do. I can't even add up.
Speaker 7: It's your former accountant and is out there going wrong,
Speaker 7: bagging away on social media. Is there at the council
Speaker 7: yelling at They yelled at each other at gauther of meetings.
Speaker 7: It's just bonkers, but I love it. I can't help it.
Speaker 1: If anyone knows where the body's are buried. The accountant, right,
Speaker 1: he certainly knows. And you know I was my accountant,
Speaker 1: can you believe called me up some years ago and said, Caleb,
Speaker 1: I've got a couple of horses I think you should
Speaker 1: buy into. I mean, when your accountant starts telling you
Speaker 1: to buy horses with him, you should probably go and
Speaker 1: find another.
Speaker 3: By bye bye.
Speaker 1: I did buy and look, one of them was all right.
Speaker 1: The other one was a dad and we had to
Speaker 1: sell him. But there no offense. Peers. I'm not saying
Speaker 1: you're a bad account You're a fantastic accountant.
Speaker 2: And a good friend as well.
Speaker 1: Terrible, but seriously, if they cannot get over this, stuff
Speaker 1: and just act like normal adult. How do the rest
Speaker 1: of us deal with issues in now know we go
Speaker 1: and talk to someone and actually sort it out. And
Speaker 1: surely if you are a counselor and you're putting yourself
Speaker 1: up as a public representative, you're doing so because you
Speaker 1: think you have something to offer. And if we've got
Speaker 1: to offer, is spending legal fees on your dispute with
Speaker 1: the guy who sits next to you in the meeting.
Speaker 5: Another great fun fact about Liverpool or a council by
Speaker 5: the way, So they got twenty thousand dollars of money
Speaker 5: that was intended for local grants and instead they gave
Speaker 5: it to Lebanon in the middle of the conflict between
Speaker 5: Israel and Hamas and Hezbela. And then they realized after
Speaker 5: they die it they had nothing left in the community
Speaker 5: grants program. So they wrote a letter to the state
Speaker 5: government asking the state government if they could pay the
Speaker 5: twenty thousand dollars that they just given to You've got
Speaker 5: getting me absolutely serious, absolutely serious.
Speaker 2: Hopefully the rate guys around forever attention.
Speaker 4: But they just had their election in September, so you've
Speaker 4: got a long wait to get rid of these bad apples.
Speaker 2: Well, yesterday we saw the Liberal.
Speaker 4: Party ditch Ben Britain, an Australian Army veteran, from running
Speaker 4: for the siege of Whitlam in New South Wales.
Speaker 2: Why I'm glad you are. They said he has.
Speaker 4: Controversial views inconsistent with the party's position.
Speaker 2: The most, the one that media has banged.
Speaker 4: On about the most is him saying, as a former
Speaker 4: army vet himself, I don't think women should be serving
Speaker 4: in combat positions.
Speaker 8: Here he is, but we've got the best toys, the
Speaker 8: best gear, but the personnel is at the worst level
Speaker 8: it has ever been. That's the direct result of Defense
Speaker 8: Force recruiting, lowering of standards in particularly to allow females
Speaker 8: into combat roles. They said they'd never do it, it'd
Speaker 8: always be the standard and we would have to pass
Speaker 8: the standard. Ever since they said that, they've dropped it
Speaker 8: because they want a thirty percent quota of females.
Speaker 3: If we're going to.
Speaker 8: Fix our defense force, unfortunate, they're going to need to
Speaker 8: remove females from combat cause. And that's not an attack
Speaker 8: on females that I serve with some of the greatest
Speaker 8: females in the Defense Force, tremendous people and I'm very,
Speaker 8: very glad to have met them and known them because
Speaker 8: they made my life better knowing them.
Speaker 2: I ask you, how is this not just common sense?
Speaker 4: It was very controversial at the time the change was
Speaker 4: made back in twenty thirteen, with many people who still
Speaker 4: recognize the vast physical differences between men and women saying hey,
Speaker 4: maybe women don't belong on the front lines. And even
Speaker 4: as a culture issue, it really changes things when bloats
Speaker 4: have to accommodate for the fact that women are present
Speaker 4: in these really hard, embattled situations when it was normally
Speaker 4: all blokes to account for. So what other controversial views
Speaker 4: has been Britain said? I refer to the Guardian article.
Speaker 4: Among Britain's other claims express on the prodcasts are Number one,
Speaker 4: exposure to pornography leads to gender dysphoria AND's transgender desires. Well,
Speaker 4: depending on the type of borne he's talking about, that's
Speaker 4: approvable fact, pornography shape's tastes absolutely. Number Two, Labor intentionally
Speaker 4: keeps some election trits poor to have a better chance
Speaker 4: of winning them. Is that really so outside of the
Speaker 4: liberals realm of possibility? Number Three, Australia should look at
Speaker 4: the Isle of Man for lessons on introducing a flat
Speaker 4: tax rate to attract billionaires.
Speaker 2: Well, I love an ideas, guy, I'm.
Speaker 4: Still waiting for a firable offense here, Peter Dutton. Number four,
Speaker 4: the education system has brainwashed young Australians with Marxist ideology. Well,
Speaker 4: hardy a men from me, and I'll wager all of
Speaker 4: you at home, which begs the question why was this.
Speaker 2: Guy stood down?
Speaker 4: I'd love to see a guy like this in Parliament,
Speaker 4: but no, Dutton has said just yesterday he's turfed. They've
Speaker 4: already replaced him because of these oh soo controversial views.
Speaker 4: Pay attention to what the supposed Conservative Party here in
Speaker 4: Australia considers controversial.
Speaker 2: That's all I can say.
Speaker 1: I don't see the issues. A bloke says, I don't
Speaker 1: think women belong in combat. I mean, is something wrong
Speaker 1: with that? And look, if there is a woman out
Speaker 1: there who can meet the standards to get into the military.
Speaker 1: I'm talking before they lowered the standards specifically to allow
Speaker 1: women in. Go for your life if that's what you
Speaker 1: want to do. I'm not here to stop anyone from
Speaker 1: joining up to the military, but why would we voluntarily
Speaker 1: make it harder potentially for other people in combat. I'm
Speaker 1: talking about their fellow defense force personnel. If we have
Speaker 1: to pick up slack because you've said, okay, we're going
Speaker 1: to lower the threshold so we can allow women in,
Speaker 1: so we can tick a box to say where we're
Speaker 1: living the Dei lifestyle. I don't see how that's good
Speaker 1: for the world or women, to be perfectly frank, I mean,
Speaker 1: when Jijingping sends his mob down or anyone else. What,
Speaker 1: We're just going to send out any old lackey woman
Speaker 1: who wants to go out and fight. I don't see
Speaker 1: what's good.
Speaker 3: Imagine it would be sending everyone we possibly could.
Speaker 1: The thing and this is what should be considered, of course,
Speaker 1: is if you lower the standard to allow women. If
Speaker 1: conscription ever came back, and there's a possibility if you
Speaker 1: were in a war with a country like China and
Speaker 1: you need it as many people as possible, there are
Speaker 1: a lot of women out there who don't want to
Speaker 1: go anywhere near a war who may will have to
Speaker 1: do so because we lower the standards and say off
Speaker 1: you go.
Speaker 5: I don't think we'll be heading for the sort of
Speaker 5: war that has conscription anytime ever in the future, you'd
Speaker 5: want to hope not that's right, because humans just can't
Speaker 5: do what robots can do, and so it doesn't matter.
Speaker 5: But like, I'm not particularly outraged by anything this guy said,
Speaker 5: and whether you know this is an example of him
Speaker 5: whether he should be sacked from a regular position that
Speaker 5: he might hold doing whatever he does, you know, outside
Speaker 5: of public life. But the fact of the matter is,
Speaker 5: as he's becoming very very apparent in this election campaign,
Speaker 5: is that these sorts of views are not mainstream, that
Speaker 5: most they are.
Speaker 3: I don't think so they are.
Speaker 1: Don't you think most people want to put.
Speaker 2: Women in the world.
Speaker 3: Chipper at war? No, I think most.
Speaker 5: I think most people would think that women should have
Speaker 5: the right to perform all the same duties in our
Speaker 5: force physically can't.
Speaker 2: So you know the stemiological reality.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't think he is.
Speaker 5: Actually he's actually saying that he's said that he's the
Speaker 5: clip he said that he doesn't like the idea of
Speaker 5: sending beautiful women off to.
Speaker 2: While he stands simply said why would you want to?
Speaker 2: In another part of the podcast, he was like, why.
Speaker 4: Would you want to? Women are the backbone of society.
Speaker 4: We produce children. Nobody else can do that, Why would
Speaker 4: you say, why would you send them off to all?
Speaker 2: I don't think that's objectionable.
Speaker 3: As I don't think it's all.
Speaker 2: It's certainly not a fireable offense.
Speaker 3: No, But it's not a matter of whether it's fireable.
Speaker 5: It's a matter of whether he is the best candidate
Speaker 5: to win the hearts and minds of the voters of
Speaker 5: the seat of Whitlam, which is currently held by Labor
Speaker 5: by over sixty percent, and that's after a swing against it.
Speaker 5: So so look, he's not going to win anyway. But
Speaker 5: the problem is for Peter Dutton. And again I don't
Speaker 5: know why it takes so long for this to dawn
Speaker 5: on him, that these kind of things that are out
Speaker 5: there's incredibly unpopular with women. This is why he had
Speaker 5: to drop the working from home policy. That's why he
Speaker 5: had to drop the I'm going to sack forty one
Speaker 5: thousand public servants policy. This comes up in focus groups,
Speaker 5: privately and publicly. It's presumably come up finally in the
Speaker 5: Liberal Party's own focus groups and research, where it was
Speaker 5: found that this is actually such a massive, massive problem
Speaker 5: that they've had to take the incredibly humiliating step of
Speaker 5: completely publicly reversing their position. And when you have a
Speaker 5: candidate like this who says I think women, beautiful women
Speaker 5: should be at home being the backbone of society or
Speaker 5: having babies or whatever, and not in the front line,
Speaker 5: that is that is deadly for done and that is
Speaker 5: why they have done well. You might think it's common sense,
Speaker 5: but the vast majority of Australians I don't think, I.
Speaker 2: Genuinely do believe that at all.
Speaker 4: I think the vast majority of Australias, if they're honest
Speaker 4: with themselves, like, yes, women cannot do what men can
Speaker 4: do on the front lines of combat.
Speaker 2: That is inarguable.
Speaker 1: It's literally and I'd also argue there are many things
Speaker 1: women can do that men can't do, including having children,
Speaker 1: though apparently that's not the case these days. The bloke
Speaker 1: who has replaced been written as the Liberal candidate for
Speaker 1: Nathaniel Smith is a good bloke and he lives locally,
Speaker 1: and I think he'll be a good candidate. But I
Speaker 1: just don't know.
Speaker 4: I just think the point is the very fact that
Speaker 4: this is what we call.
Speaker 2: The Conservative Party here in Australia.
Speaker 4: Turf to guy of reviews like that, I'm like, okay.
Speaker 2: Well, i'd never run for you anyway, But.
Speaker 4: If I was thinking about it, I would have ditched
Speaker 4: that when I read this story, because that is unacceptable.
Speaker 4: What a sham of a Conservative Party, what an absolute sham.
Speaker 1: While we're talking about Dutton reversing things, we saw a
Speaker 1: policy reversal today of course on working from home and
Speaker 1: sacking public servants. So of course previously he had said
Speaker 1: about working from home that public servants in Canberra ought
Speaker 1: to be back in the office. This was Peter Dutton
Speaker 1: last month.
Speaker 9: I think Australian taxpayers, who are working harder than ever
Speaker 9: under this government and barely keeping the head above water,
Speaker 9: I think they expect the government and the government employees
Speaker 9: to be working as hard as they are, and people
Speaker 9: refusing to go back to work in Canberra is not acceptable.
Speaker 1: And as recently as the Budget reply speech at the
Speaker 1: end of last month, he was saying we need to
Speaker 1: gut the public service. We need to get rid of
Speaker 1: the forty one thousand extra public servants that the Albanese
Speaker 1: government has added to the ledger Well.
Speaker 9: Reverse labors increase of forty one thousand camera public servants
Speaker 9: because it will save about seven billion dollars a year.
Speaker 9: That's money that we can provide back to the Australian
Speaker 9: people in frontline services.
Speaker 1: Well, you ain't getting your seven billion dollars anymore because
Speaker 1: Peter Dutton has worked enough today and decided we got
Speaker 1: it all wrong here. He was speaking in Adelaide this morning.
Speaker 9: We got it wrong and we've apologized for it. We
Speaker 9: support flexible workplace arrangements and our plan, which was only
Speaker 9: ever targeted for the public service in camera labor has
Speaker 9: been able to crowd into a scare campaign.
Speaker 1: So what's left? I mean, well, we we'll just roll
Speaker 1: it all back. I suppose next week there will be
Speaker 1: no policies left whatsoever. Stick to your guns right now.
Speaker 1: The argument here is supposedly that people everywhere thought that
Speaker 1: this was an attack on working from home and that
Speaker 1: Peter Dutton was somehow going to walk into their private
Speaker 1: sector offices and drag them home or from home into
Speaker 1: the office and if you don't do it, you're going
Speaker 1: to get in big trouble. He can't do that. He's
Speaker 1: talking specifically about the public service. We're in a position now, Joe,
Speaker 1: where the public service has Peter Dutton so tightly by
Speaker 1: the grulies that in the middle of an election campaign,
Speaker 1: he would drop a policy that he was talking about
Speaker 1: ad nauseum for months.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 5: And again it's just it's just I think it is utterly.
Speaker 2: I've talked to that.
Speaker 5: Many people on both sides who just literally cannot remember
Speaker 5: anything like this coming out in the middle of an election.
Speaker 5: Came I'm so sorry, this centerpiece of our election platform
Speaker 5: was actually completely wrong.
Speaker 3: We'll never do it again.
Speaker 5: It's like the saying the fish card wonder where the
Speaker 5: bad guys hanging John Clice outside the building by I'll
Speaker 5: never apologize and never pod I'm so sorry I was
Speaker 5: completely out. And again, this is what happens when you
Speaker 5: and the left had the same problem as well. And
Speaker 5: they do it as well, and I've railed against them,
Speaker 5: but this is what happens when you do not stress
Speaker 5: test your policies to make sure that the mainstream community
Speaker 5: is on board and not just your usual sort of
Speaker 5: cheer leaders. And it's what happens when you don't wargame.
Speaker 5: What happens when your opponents attack these policies because that
Speaker 5: is exactly what they're going to do an election, and
Speaker 5: you say they were just for public servants in Canberra
Speaker 5: and bureaucats in camera. That's absolutely right, but that was
Speaker 5: not the narrative that was being pushed. It was being
Speaker 5: pushed as public servants full stop. And the fact that
Speaker 5: they were being cast as being lazy kind of skyvers
Speaker 5: not work for working from home. That implied that anyone
Speaker 5: else who was working for home was actually just taking
Speaker 5: the piss and wasn't really working, and that obviously people
Speaker 5: take that to be an insult. It also suggests that
Speaker 5: the government when it gets in, if it's not going
Speaker 5: to allow public servants to work from home, then it
Speaker 5: might start to make people in the private sector or
Speaker 5: make rules for people in the private sector or whatever
Speaker 5: to come back. And the other thing that happened is
Speaker 5: it got confused with all the growth in public sector
Speaker 5: employment full stop that has been driving employment growth in
Speaker 5: the country that everyone's.
Speaker 3: Been talking about.
Speaker 5: That's right, not just bureaucrats in Canberra, but nurses, cops, teachers,
Speaker 5: aged care workers which are covered federally, soldiers. We're talking
Speaker 5: about people joining the army and suddenly apparently in the
Speaker 5: seat of Herbert, which covers Townsville, there were actually military
Speaker 5: per us now going hang on a minute, am I
Speaker 5: One of the forty one thousand that he's going to
Speaker 5: sack am I one of the one of the ones
Speaker 5: who won't be able to work from home if I want.
Speaker 4: But there's a messaging problem, right, It's like you literally
Speaker 4: announced this ubut policy that everyone.
Speaker 3: Was supposed to like, yeah.
Speaker 4: We're cutting the fat, he's doing a doge, go for it, Dutton,
Speaker 4: and instead you sold it so dismally everyone who works
Speaker 4: from home or all these people in the public service
Speaker 4: were like, wait a minute, does that mean I don't
Speaker 4: have a job if Dutton gets in for crying out loud?
Speaker 2: Libs do better.
Speaker 4: Caleb and I were at the races on Saturday and
Speaker 4: I tell you what, Hi to everyone who came up
Speaker 4: and said hello. But the amount of people we had
Speaker 4: come up to us and say, what the hell are
Speaker 4: the liberals doing?
Speaker 2: You call this a campaign?
Speaker 4: A lot of people think we have a direct line
Speaker 4: to Dutz It simply ain't.
Speaker 2: So I'm sorry.
Speaker 4: We might be able to haul him out of some
Speaker 4: of this if that were the case, but unfortunately we don't,
Speaker 4: and we're like where like deer in a headlight, just
Speaker 4: being like, well, yeah.
Speaker 2: It's pretty bad. I got to say, well, if we're at.
Speaker 1: A point now where people I don't call it working
Speaker 1: from home. I call it shirking from home. Get back
Speaker 1: to the bloody office. We've got people who're sitting around
Speaker 1: in their pajamas who think they ought to run the
Speaker 1: thanks to the government.
Speaker 2: You're like a million people.
Speaker 4: You've started this government your major bed.
Speaker 1: I know, but always people want to sit around in
Speaker 1: their pajamas at home and this is now the thing
Speaker 1: that gets dart and to turn around. I do have
Speaker 1: to ask you, though, Jo, because your best mate Chris
Speaker 1: Mins has this point of view when it comes to
Speaker 1: the New South Wales public. So should we expect to
Speaker 1: see him turn around and say I can't possibly do
Speaker 1: that as well?
Speaker 5: No, because he did it absolutely expertly. His was a masterclass'
Speaker 5: so how to actually do it and how to get
Speaker 5: it back in and he made sure it's communicated through
Speaker 5: all the department chiefs. He made sure that it happened gradually.
Speaker 5: He made sure there'll be provisions made for parents who
Speaker 5: needed to take care of their kids. Again, these are
Speaker 5: all things that Peter Dutton or his team could have
Speaker 5: come up within a Harby. I mean this is no brainer. Look,
Speaker 5: first thing you do say, obviously this does not apply
Speaker 5: to parents with young children. If you need to take
Speaker 5: care of your kids, if you need to be able
Speaker 5: to pick up your kids or drop them off at
Speaker 5: school or whatever, you have a complete exemption. We're not
Speaker 5: talking about you anyone juggling work and family. We know
Speaker 5: what a tough challenge that can be, and we're going
Speaker 5: to make sure that you still have the flexibility you need.
Speaker 3: It's the other people we're talking talk slower.
Speaker 2: There's some staff like.
Speaker 3: Where was that?
Speaker 5: And again, you know all these people, the forty one
Speaker 5: thousand public servants, who were they there?
Speaker 1: It's just the thing I find like it's so easy
Speaker 1: to say, we'll cull them by natural attrition when people
Speaker 1: leave the public service, we just won't re employ bureaucrats.
Speaker 1: You can naturally dwindle the numbers over time.
Speaker 3: Which is what they've said now.
Speaker 5: But before then it was that they were going to
Speaker 5: go through like ol chainsaw done lap with a you know,
Speaker 5: just mow them all down. And again it was just
Speaker 5: just bad politics. But anyway, I can't be in charge
Speaker 5: of everything. Although on the other and how good is he?
Speaker 3: All agree? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Well, I will I will say is elbow is so
Speaker 5: confident as a result of the the events of the
Speaker 5: last few days that he has done the once unthinkable. Yes,
Speaker 5: he has pulled just Into Alan out of witness protection
Speaker 5: and wheeled her around town for a.
Speaker 3: Rare public sighting this.
Speaker 5: If you want to know what confidence looks like, ladies
Speaker 5: and gentleman, it's this.
Speaker 1: The ning a responsible I'm a responsible budget. If I'm
Speaker 1: responsible for my budget, I'm happy to answer questions about
Speaker 1: my budget.
Speaker 2: The Premier is right here.
Speaker 5: If you want to ask her a question about Victoria,
Speaker 5: I'm happy for her to do that.
Speaker 3: So there you go. We thought we'd never see her again,
Speaker 3: but proof.
Speaker 5: Of life just Into Alan is still with us. It'd
Speaker 5: be better to him is holding a copy of today's newspaper,
Speaker 5: just so we're absolutely sure. But again, I think you
Speaker 5: know the PM is nothing if not a loyal friend.
Speaker 1: Well well, obscene levels of confidence there from Albersi. Of course,
Speaker 1: you know you have to ask her if she's got
Speaker 1: a responsible budget going on. I mean you think your
Speaker 1: labor mate would be able to say yes, of course,
Speaker 1: I fully back my hes not someone who's popularity.
Speaker 2: Why not.
Speaker 1: Exactly, But this is exactly the point. This will be
Speaker 1: the only time we see Anthony Albersi with Justiner Allen
Speaker 1: this whole election campaign. He had to do it once, right,
Speaker 1: because if he didn't do it at all, there'd be
Speaker 1: all these questions about why didn't he scare next to
Speaker 1: to Cinder Allen. So we had to do it at
Speaker 1: least once to get it, to get it out of
Speaker 1: the way. But I'm not sure it really helps the matter,
Speaker 1: because if I am right and we don't see him
Speaker 1: next to just Ciner Allen again during this campaign, well
Speaker 1: we can all ask why do you do like an
Speaker 1: in and out job. Surely you should have been down
Speaker 1: in Victoria hanging out with the premiere more often because
Speaker 1: she's like led to him, That's why. And he doesn't
Speaker 1: want to be seen dead with it.
Speaker 2: Indeed, it was rumored like is he going to do
Speaker 2: it at all?
Speaker 4: Her popularity is a burning dumpster fire in the state
Speaker 4: of Victoria. So the last thing Alban Easy wants to
Speaker 4: do is hang out with just Cinta Allan for any
Speaker 4: amount of time. We doesn't want Victoria voters to be like, oh, these.
Speaker 2: Guys are thick as thieves. Their best is no.
Speaker 4: No, we want a distinct point of differentiation between Alban
Speaker 4: Easy and that particular state premiere so I.
Speaker 5: But of course he does it just when the coalition
Speaker 5: is imploding like this, This is you talk about them
Speaker 5: at the moment.
Speaker 3: This is the death Star exploding at the end of
Speaker 3: Star Wars.
Speaker 5: And so the one time everyone's eyes are everywhere else
Speaker 5: and it's all bad news bears for them, that's when
Speaker 5: he wheels out with Surreans and see, I did it,
Speaker 5: told you and I blink and he missed it and
Speaker 5: it's gone. And then every time he gets like calebsid,
Speaker 5: every time he gets asked for the rest of the campaigns,
Speaker 5: what are you talking about.
Speaker 1: The she's my best mate? And how funny that it
Speaker 1: comes on the same day because we're talking about Peter
Speaker 1: Dutton and work from home. And of course Victoria is
Speaker 1: the state in Melbourne is the city that has struggled
Speaker 1: the most to get people back in the office after COVID,
Speaker 1: because of course Melbourne was the most lockdown place in
Speaker 1: the world. That's it for our federal election coverage tonight,
Speaker 1: but there is plenty more to come, and of course
Speaker 1: right here tomorrow night on Sky News seven thirty pm
Speaker 1: Eastern Time, the debate between Anthony Albnizi and Peter Dutton
Speaker 1: and then of course plenty more throughout the week. Jim
Speaker 1: Charmers and Angus Taylor facing off for a Treasury debate
Speaker 1: on Wednesday seven thirty pm as well, and then on Thursday,
Speaker 1: courtesy of the National Press Club, you'll see Chris Bow
Speaker 1: and Ted O'Brien fire off about energy. While we are
Speaker 1: talking about Victoria. Carjackings are through the roof down there now.
Speaker 1: You know, we've been talking about crime crises across the
Speaker 1: country for so long now, and it always used to
Speaker 1: be about Queensland in particular. Of course, they've still got
Speaker 1: problems up in Queensland when it comes to youth crime,
Speaker 1: but it's increasingly a problem down in Victoria. The number
Speaker 1: of carjackings has gone uprom one hundred and forty three
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen to four hundred and thirty nine last year.
Speaker 2: But can you.
Speaker 1: Believe that three quarters of all carjackings committed last year
Speaker 1: in Victoria, seventy five percent of them were done by children.
Speaker 1: And there's also a market increase in aggravated and attempted
Speaker 1: aggravated carjackings. That's of course, when you get charged. Aggravated
Speaker 1: means you had a weapon on you or there was
Speaker 1: some other stenuating circumstance that makes it a worse offense,
Speaker 1: so they go for harsher penalties in court. They've gone
Speaker 1: up as well, from fifty nine to one hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty two in the past eight years. What on earth
Speaker 1: is going on with the kids. I mean, look, we
Speaker 1: know there's a youth crime crisis, but the fact that
Speaker 1: this seems to be the go to thing for kids now,
Speaker 1: in particular by a factor of three to one, to
Speaker 1: go and hijack cars. I mean, I couldn't think of
Speaker 1: doing such a thing without having to get myself a
Speaker 1: new pair of underwear. Because the idea that you would
Speaker 1: go up to someone in a moving car or an
Speaker 1: unlocked car or whatever it is, open the door, potentially
Speaker 1: hold them at knife point or gunpoint or whatever, drag
Speaker 1: them out of the car. So you've got to wrestle
Speaker 1: with another person in this situation potentially and then steal
Speaker 1: their car and get out of there. It's not something
Speaker 1: I could ever see myself doing. And yet there are
Speaker 1: people in Victoria under the age of eighteen in increasing numbers,
Speaker 1: certainly much more than adults who want to do it.
Speaker 4: Least well, when you look at the bail laws and
Speaker 4: how they've been operating until now. The Victorian government has
Speaker 4: made them very squeak queen, very tight now or so
Speaker 4: we'll soon see. Then why wouldn't they and why wouldn't
Speaker 4: they just keep on doing it? We don't know how
Speaker 4: many of that number are just you know, repeat offenders,
Speaker 4: but I imagine it's actually quite high because to have
Speaker 4: that number of kids, if it's one per carjacking, that
Speaker 4: would be utterly mind blowing. I think these guys have
Speaker 4: done it once, they've done it twice. They're probably not
Speaker 4: acting alone at all. If you're a kid, you're going
Speaker 4: to have a friend two or three acting in gangs.
Speaker 2: We've seen that.
Speaker 4: Before, and they're very much emboldened when they're in a group.
Speaker 5: I've done some research into this and it turns out
Speaker 5: children aren't meant to be driving cars at all.
Speaker 3: I mean, but this is in all seriousness.
Speaker 5: Firstly, this is what happens when you don't take crime
Speaker 5: seriously enough. So, oh, it's just nothing, it's just kids
Speaker 5: being kids, or just fine. Oh, I know, how do
Speaker 5: you say that it's racist?
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, and giving bail for the fiftieth time.
Speaker 5: Do you say we've got a crime proble blah blah
Speaker 5: blah blah, and then of course once it hits that
Speaker 5: kind of event horizon, you're at the point where you
Speaker 5: can't actually do anything about it, even because you didn't
Speaker 5: do anything about it when you could. It is absolutely
Speaker 5: gangs that are responsible here. This isn't just so we're
Speaker 5: seeing different types of I'm happening in regional Queens and
Speaker 5: regional New South Wales has still got a big youth
Speaker 5: crime problem as well, But the difference between that is
Speaker 5: in Victoria, it is happening in Melbourne. It is happening
Speaker 5: in very affluent areas. Often crime and just sort of
Speaker 5: random street crime and stuff is tied to poorer communities
Speaker 5: often and places in the bushwere there's not much else
Speaker 5: to do, so kids turn to they have bad role models,
Speaker 5: they turn to bad stuff, and this is very much
Speaker 5: part of coordinated gangs targeting in many ways. You know,
Speaker 5: really affluent areas as well, and really expensive.
Speaker 1: Cars about where insurance prices have gone up the most
Speaker 1: in Melbourne and it's all the most expensive suburbs bright
Speaker 1: because they are being targeted by these things.
Speaker 5: So yeah, so it's not just it's not just a
Speaker 5: run of the mill kind of kids behaving badly, kids
Speaker 5: running a mark sort of thing. It's actually a really
Speaker 5: serious problem, and I think there needs to be honest
Speaker 5: conversations about how kids in particular communities are being targeted
Speaker 5: and they're being sort of recruited and being offered.
Speaker 3: All these kind of you know, these lollies.
Speaker 5: And turning what should be a really great, productive community
Speaker 5: in very near where I grew up, or well, in
Speaker 5: the suburb I grew up is one of the biggest
Speaker 5: popularity and turn them into you know, people who are
Speaker 5: being demonized because they are being allowed to sort of
Speaker 5: fester in an afe of crime. And part of the
Speaker 5: problem with that has been people turning a blind eye
Speaker 5: to it and pretending that it wasn't happening because they
Speaker 5: were scared of being you know, the accused of being racist
Speaker 5: or whatever it is.
Speaker 1: And of course, you know, Victoria increased the age of
Speaker 1: criminal responsibility to twelve, and they were planning to increase
Speaker 1: it to fourteen. And I said at the time, what
Speaker 1: you'll do is create a market for crime gangs to
Speaker 1: go and tap kids on the shoulder and say, go
Speaker 1: and do our dirty work for us. Because of course,
Speaker 1: if you can get a thirteen or a twelve year
Speaker 1: old to go and do something for you, and you
Speaker 1: know they're not going to be convicted, why wouldn't you
Speaker 1: do it. I think we may well be seeing some
Speaker 1: of that.
Speaker 5: Now in the thirteen so they can already drive and
Speaker 5: spoken the queens Inn.
Speaker 4: Now we're a senior lecturer of law at the University
Speaker 4: of Queensland.
Speaker 2: Her name is Danny.
Speaker 4: Linda was so offended when tens of students, she claimed,
Speaker 4: walked out of one of her lecturers in Foundations of Law.
Speaker 2: I remember it well, when she.
Speaker 4: Was talking about the history of Indigenous legal history and
Speaker 4: she got so offended by this she then decided to
Speaker 4: lecture them in a following lecturer in a rather threatening
Speaker 4: way that some savvy students must have recorded.
Speaker 2: Because now we have it and we know what she said.
Speaker 10: Watch what you say and what you do if you
Speaker 10: want to do well in your law degree. Because being
Speaker 10: politically active.
Speaker 11: In a way, that's what protesting against my inclusion.
Speaker 3: Of Indigenous perspectives and up and leading.
Speaker 10: And I know not everyone probably had that purpose of
Speaker 10: getting up and leading in that moment, but there were
Speaker 10: some that did. I can tell you now if you
Speaker 10: want to get involved in kind any work while you're
Speaker 10: doing your law degree.
Speaker 3: You're not going to get hired and.
Speaker 11: You're not going to last if this is the type
Speaker 11: of behavior that you're engaging with. There's been barristers that
Speaker 11: have become aware of this this week that frequently try
Speaker 11: and engage UQ law students that are ligned.
Speaker 4: We're sick of it, no where, sick of kids being
Speaker 4: indoctrinated by people like you. Danny props to the kids
Speaker 4: for walking out. I distinctly remember one of the first
Speaker 4: two things I learned in Foundations of Law were the
Speaker 4: Bugby principles and the Fernando principles, at which point I
Speaker 4: learned that when it comes to every other Australian and
Speaker 4: Indigenous Australians, we're not equal before the law whatsoever. If
Speaker 4: you are bought before a court of law in Australia
Speaker 4: for the exact same crime that an Indigenous person committed,
Speaker 4: they've got the Bugby principles, they've got the Fernando principles.
Speaker 4: You've got nothing, and you're gonna do a far harder
Speaker 4: time of.
Speaker 2: It, believe you me.
Speaker 4: So is it any surprise that these kids, I'm assuming
Speaker 4: they are kids, during their first year of law, just
Speaker 4: like you know what, We've already had enough of this.
Speaker 4: This woman keeps banging on about her own passion project,
Speaker 4: her own soapbox, and they decided to get up and
Speaker 4: walk out on.
Speaker 2: This particular day.
Speaker 4: And here you have a senior lecturer of law threatening
Speaker 4: them regarding future job prospects.
Speaker 2: How disgusting? How low can you get in skipping lectures?
Speaker 3: Was what I did all the time, madam.
Speaker 1: And you turned out all right, Joe, And you know,
Speaker 1: oh will, I'll remember your faces. You should really consider
Speaker 1: if you want a job in the law, how you
Speaker 1: behave You know, sure we expect good behavior of people
Speaker 1: in the law, though you know, some people in the
Speaker 1: law don't necessarily display the best behavior. One of my
Speaker 1: favorite stories was a lawyer who got caught out the
Speaker 1: front of I think it was the magistrate's court in
Speaker 1: Adelaide with a bag of cocaine falling out of the
Speaker 1: front pocket of his jacket. So you know, they don't
Speaker 1: always adhere to the law.
Speaker 3: That's where all the students were going.
Speaker 1: To here precisely because it is utterly ridiculous to say
Speaker 1: that if you have an issue with me taking over
Speaker 1: your lecture to carry on about indigenity all the time,
Speaker 1: you're coming to learn law? Well, what do you think
Speaker 1: they came here for?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I found it a little bit since I mean, obviously,
Speaker 5: if you're going to sign up to a course, you should,
Speaker 5: you know, listen.
Speaker 2: To it and foundations.
Speaker 3: You can't if you don't like it.
Speaker 5: If you disagree with it, you can disagree with that
Speaker 5: in the tutorial room or the seminar room. So I
Speaker 5: don't think they need to sort of walk out, obviously
Speaker 5: trying to be a bit provocative and make a point.
Speaker 5: But having said all that, she says that you know,
Speaker 5: barristers are aware of what has gone I know barristers
Speaker 5: who are aware of what is going on?
Speaker 3: How and who cares? How did they become aware? Like
Speaker 3: because she told them the bars?
Speaker 5: So she's going to everyone, you know, if you're going
Speaker 5: to hire any you know, anyone's got any internships coming up,
Speaker 5: well don't hire X y Z because I just heard them.
Speaker 3: Is that what's going like? How did they become?
Speaker 2: That?
Speaker 5: Is what she is the Only thing more UnAustralian than
Speaker 5: walking out is snitching.
Speaker 2: Good point, very good news story.
Speaker 4: Just before we go to the ad break, guess what
Speaker 4: the biggest pedophile.
Speaker 2: Ring online uploading well.
Speaker 4: It says ninety one thousand videos with images of child
Speaker 4: sexual abuse has been sprung. It took thirty eight countries
Speaker 4: working in cohesion together, Australia being one of them, for
Speaker 4: this thing to be ripped off the Internet.
Speaker 2: What a win. I wish we saw more of this.
Speaker 4: This platform had a staggering one point eight million users.
Speaker 4: There's a lot of sikos out there, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 4: And authorities were able to identify almost fourteen hundred of
Speaker 4: the individuals using the platform. I hope they find all
Speaker 4: ninety one thousand of them and prosecute them to the
Speaker 4: full extent.
Speaker 2: Of the law. My gosh, I would love a job
Speaker 2: like this.
Speaker 4: I would bound out of bed every single day hunting
Speaker 4: it down pedophiles in the europold tweet announcing this when
Speaker 4: they said ked Flicks, one of the largest pedophile platforms
Speaker 4: in the world, has been shut down in an international
Speaker 4: operation against child sexual exploitation. Europol has supported authorities from
Speaker 4: thirty eight countries worldwide in shutting down the platform.
Speaker 2: Just this kind of.
Speaker 4: News makes my heart seeing and we need to see
Speaker 4: a lot.
Speaker 2: More of it.
Speaker 4: One wonders how could it exist and grow this big
Speaker 4: without already being shut down.
Speaker 2: Better late than never.
Speaker 4: But it just goes to show these things are out
Speaker 4: there and we cannot pour enough resources into getting them
Speaker 4: shut down.
Speaker 1: Of course, and probably someone else will come through and
Speaker 1: try to fill the vacuum now, so the work never ends.
Speaker 1: And I've got to say a big shout out to
Speaker 1: the cops who work on these cases. They see some
Speaker 1: absolutely horrific stuff, but they do it day in, day
Speaker 1: out to make the world a better place. And without
Speaker 1: people like them, we would be so much worse off.
Speaker 1: We're going to get into the papers. You'll find out
Speaker 1: exactly how much a cost to take the queen off
Speaker 1: five dollar notes. It's a lot more than you'd expect.
Speaker 1: And the dog who took on a croc you'll find
Speaker 1: out who comes off sick this soon. Welcome back Joe
Speaker 1: still doing the cryptic crossword by the way.
Speaker 3: One.
Speaker 1: Let's just get into the Canberra Times tomorrow, Liz Well.
Speaker 4: While public servants in Canberra breathing a sigh of relief
Speaker 4: not having to go back to work, the small businesses
Speaker 4: in Canberra are not half as happy, counting the cost
Speaker 4: of office politics. The headline reads, while many public servants.
Speaker 4: We yesterday breathing a sigh of relief as the opposition
Speaker 4: dumped its plan to force staff back to the office
Speaker 4: five days a week. For the city's small businesses, the
Speaker 4: news was not universally welcomed. Grace Zoo, pictured on the
Speaker 4: front there, owner of the Double Drummer Cafe, and Barren Barton,
Speaker 4: was among those hooping to see workers back in the office,
Speaker 4: particularly on Mondays and Fridays.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's these guys that.
Speaker 4: Really aren't taken into account when they hate these I mean,
Speaker 4: they would have been so happy thinking, oh, oh my goodness,
Speaker 4: we're going to have that many people coming back, and
Speaker 4: specifically in camera, because they would have read the messaging right,
Speaker 4: specifically in camera, all these public servants back, buy now coffees.
Speaker 4: This is going to be a massive boon for us,
Speaker 4: because of course they would have noticed more than anybody
Speaker 4: how many people are working from home now in the
Speaker 4: camera public service right, And.
Speaker 5: They would have been so miserable and depressed to be
Speaker 5: going back to the office that they would have bought
Speaker 5: more coffee and booze than ever before.
Speaker 1: I had to they had this explosion. But and this
Speaker 1: is the great trouble now about trying to get people
Speaker 1: back into the office, and you will know that I
Speaker 1: think people should be back in the office. But there's
Speaker 1: two questions. One is how do we sustain CBD's long
Speaker 1: term without people being back in the office full time,
Speaker 1: because of course they seem to now be turning into
Speaker 1: less of workplaces and more into entertainment hubs, but that's
Speaker 1: mostly on the week end. You look at Melbourne for instance,
Speaker 1: the number of people going into Melbourne on the weekend
Speaker 1: is higher than it was before COVID, but the people
Speaker 1: going in during the week is lower than it was
Speaker 1: before COVID because they're all at home during the week
Speaker 1: and then they're like, we've got to get out of
Speaker 1: the house, so they all go to the city on
Speaker 1: the weekend. So that's fine, but can you sustain a
Speaker 1: cafe on essentially two days of solid trade? And then
Speaker 1: the other discussion you've got to have is with all
Speaker 1: the suburban cafes and restaurants, et cetera, because they've had
Speaker 1: a massive uptick in their custom because of course people
Speaker 1: are at home during the weekend, they go and buy
Speaker 1: their coffee there instead of the cafe in the city,
Speaker 1: so then they will be squealing that the government's I notice.
Speaker 5: It's so boring. But I'm a boring, boring centrist. That's
Speaker 5: why you've got to find a middle way. You've got
Speaker 5: to find flexible work arrangements. No, you can't just not
Speaker 5: go because you don't feel like it. But if you
Speaker 5: have to, and you've got a good reason, respect your workers.
Speaker 5: You let them make decisions. You take me out of
Speaker 5: my front door in a box.
Speaker 3: LA doesn't. And I'm going to tell you that free.
Speaker 3: Come on up here now.
Speaker 5: I now the Daily Telegraph, greatest newspaper in the world,
Speaker 5: and it has a fantastic story by our friend James Willis.
Speaker 5: So I think you would have seen just earlier on
Speaker 5: Shari Show a five dollar note. That'll be five hundred
Speaker 5: and seven thousand dollars. The Reserve Bank has slug tax
Speaker 5: pays more than half a million dollars to redesign the
Speaker 5: five dollar note as it prepares to snub Australias monarch
Speaker 5: in favor of a First Nation inspired artwork. The change,
Speaker 5: endorsed by treasure Jim Chalmas, has been described by the
Speaker 5: federal opposition as wasteful and a pet project guided by ideology.
Speaker 5: There you go, that's inflation for you, isn't it five
Speaker 5: dollars now suddenly five hundred thousand?
Speaker 1: What justification is? There is no justification for this. They
Speaker 1: could have just done a straight swap from the Queen
Speaker 1: to King Charles and said that's it. But no, no, no,
Speaker 1: we've got to have some first nation bloody thing on it. Look,
Speaker 1: even if they want to have a first nation designed,
Speaker 1: you know, I'd rather than monarch stayed there. But couldn't
Speaker 1: you get some kid in a school somewhere to do
Speaker 1: up a design for you that you could then print
Speaker 1: on a five dollar open It would cost you nothing.
Speaker 4: Someone wonders what's included in this over half a meal
Speaker 4: because they were saying, oh, we've got to do a
Speaker 4: lot of convening with different indigenous groups. We don't want
Speaker 4: to upset some make others happy, like this has got
Speaker 4: to be an overarching everyone in the indigenous community is
Speaker 4: happy with this type project. So you wonder is that
Speaker 4: included in the price of this, The consulting, the sit downs,
Speaker 4: the different different groups, different indigenous artists, basically tenders.
Speaker 2: But is that what this is paying for or is that.
Speaker 5: All on top of this guaranteed guaranteed guaranteed, guaranteed. And
Speaker 5: I'll tell you something really interesting if you want to
Speaker 5: know how these sorts of processes always seem to turn out.
Speaker 5: You know, a Campbell being a horse designed by a committee.
Speaker 5: I you're too young to remember this. I'm old enough
Speaker 5: to remember when the old five dollar note was replaced
Speaker 5: with a new polymer five dollar note and the portrait
Speaker 5: of the Queen was chosen to be put on it.
Speaker 5: And you know who oversaw that process film none other
Speaker 5: in Australia's leading Republican Paul Keating.
Speaker 3: He was Treasurer at the time.
Speaker 5: So even though he was already just an ardent sort of,
Speaker 5: I had a Republican and would go on to to
Speaker 5: basically just years later lay out the path pathway to
Speaker 5: Australia becoming a republic. Still, the Queen ended up on
Speaker 5: the five dollar note, and even then there was just confused,
Speaker 5: like why how did this happen?
Speaker 3: Like just make up your mind.
Speaker 1: But at least you did the right thing now, of course,
Speaker 1: to one of the big stories of the day on
Speaker 1: the front of the ODS, the swash says crash test
Speaker 1: dummy s Anthony Alberinezi is confronting a global recession from
Speaker 1: a dramatically weaker fiscal position than before the global financial
Speaker 1: crisis and the COVID pandemics. Millions of Australian workers and
Speaker 1: self funded retirees have their superannuation saving smashed twenty six
Speaker 1: days before the election. And then the story next to
Speaker 1: that says blood bath at as Sex has investors smashed.
Speaker 1: Australian shares suffered their biggest one day fall since the
Speaker 1: pandemic in one hundred and twelve billion dollar blood bath
Speaker 1: amid fears Donald Trump's tariffs would spark a global economic recession.
Speaker 1: Has Donald Trump bitten off a little more than he
Speaker 1: can chew?
Speaker 2: Nah, this is so intentional.
Speaker 4: There is a method to this madness, and it's so intentional,
Speaker 4: and it's so far. I'm not a shares person, I'm
Speaker 4: a crypto person, and right now everything is on sale
Speaker 4: like people are buying up crypto like you wouldn't believe.
Speaker 2: So for me personally, this is just incredibly exciting.
Speaker 1: But what's the game?
Speaker 4: Oh well, far too long for us to get into
Speaker 4: in the papers. But I do believe this is something
Speaker 4: that he's doing intentionally. He's flipping the tables in order
Speaker 4: to correct what we've seen playing out for quite a
Speaker 4: few years now.
Speaker 2: Anyway, I can't. I would not have the time to
Speaker 2: do that justice.
Speaker 1: And we don't do financial advice, of course, no.
Speaker 2: No, we do not do financial advice.
Speaker 1: On this poem. The int News riper story.
Speaker 2: News Joe, tell us about this dog.
Speaker 5: I will tell you about it because it's got a
Speaker 5: crock on the front page. And that means, according to
Speaker 5: ancient int News folklore, if you if your story gets
Speaker 5: a crock on the front page, you have to buy
Speaker 5: the newsroom a slab cart and for everybody got to
Speaker 5: shout the bar.
Speaker 3: So it's good to see that.
Speaker 1: And of course some newspapers do have a croc on
Speaker 1: the front page, but in a different way, and none
Speaker 1: of them were news cool papers.
Speaker 5: That's right, that's cause this is the real that's called
Speaker 5: The Guardian. But Thomas McClain be shouting the bar tomorrow.
Speaker 5: Kroc gets snappy with staffy dog goes toe to toe
Speaker 5: with reptile foe. A snappy surprise they just love their
Speaker 5: puns has left an unsuspecting man and his dog bewildered
Speaker 5: with a small dog. A small crocodile captured well outside
Speaker 5: of its death Palmersman Darrendown's without walking his dog Nate.
Speaker 5: When the American stuff he tried to take on what
Speaker 5: it thought was a regular lizard, only to discover it
Speaker 5: was in fact a crocodile, but only a freshie star
Speaker 5: doesn't work out, You just have to buy six.
Speaker 1: Pack mistake to make, isn't it? After the break Stephen Masks,
Speaker 1: former Queensland premier, can you believe he's now getting into deadlifting?
Speaker 1: Got himself into a bowerlifting gold A dish will show
Speaker 1: you how that went shortly now, Look, I thought after
Speaker 1: the demonstration Peter Dutton gave us over the weekend where
Speaker 1: he kicked a football and hit a cameraman's camera that
Speaker 1: knocked his head open, blood gashing out that Pollys might
Speaker 1: have given up sport by now, but Stephen Miles didn't
Speaker 1: seem to think that was the right thing to do. Now.
Speaker 2: Now the Queensland opposition leader.
Speaker 4: Has taken off the suit and tie to compete in
Speaker 4: the state powerlifting championships.
Speaker 2: Hidden talent here it is. I was waiting for him
Speaker 2: to do the thrust part. I'm like, mate, you've only
Speaker 2: done half of it, Like, where's the rest, where's the
Speaker 2: hard bit?
Speaker 4: But hey, props to Steven Miles. He's still beat Kevin
Speaker 4: Rudd's attempt at chin ups by a mile.
Speaker 3: One don't know the hap.
Speaker 4: You've got to sympathize with the trainer in the back
Speaker 4: there being like alp.
Speaker 3: Hell and that trainer was never seen again.
Speaker 1: I don't think they were chinups. They were just nothing
Speaker 1: ups anyway. Now justice for a Marie Murray. That's the
Speaker 1: campaign I'm starting on this program here tonight. She got
Speaker 1: on a Ryan Air flight in the UK, right, and
Speaker 1: and ryani At CEO Michael O'Leary. I like him because
Speaker 1: he's a good supporter of jumps racing. But mate, do
Speaker 1: something about this case with you. She was on the plane.
Speaker 1: She ordered a packet of Pringles, bottle of water and
Speaker 1: a Coca Cola.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: It came to seven quids. She went to pay with
Speaker 1: it with her card tap and go, and the machine
Speaker 1: wouldn't take it. She said, do you want the stuff back?
Speaker 1: They said no. When the plane landed, she said, I'll
Speaker 1: go and get some cash for you, because she didn't
Speaker 1: have any gash on it. And he said, no, you
Speaker 1: can't pay with cash. We've called the cops because you've
Speaker 1: stolen them. And didn't pay for them.
Speaker 12: And sure enough the police came along and took them
Speaker 12: away and put her and her husband in the back
Speaker 12: of a van because her card didn't work for seven quid.
Speaker 2: I mean, sirs for Anne Marie.
Speaker 3: I mean you expect that sort of thing on Jetstar,
Speaker 3: but not Ryan.
Speaker 1: Well, I know they're one and the same real honestly,
Speaker 1: if someone wants to make it right, if that's what
Speaker 1: police resources have been used for in the UK, it
Speaker 1: tells you seven.

Speaker 3: great doors.
