WEBVTT - Paul Murray Live | 13 May 0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:02.160 From the Skyinging Center. 0:00:02.560 --> 0:00:08.039 This is Paul Murray Live. Can I make The Night 0:00:08.080 --> 0:00:10.879 before the Budget is my favorite night of the year, 0:00:11.280 --> 0:00:13.520 not because it's about the budget, but because perhaps the 0:00:13.560 --> 0:00:18.120 most cringey thing that any politician goes through and puts 0:00:18.120 --> 0:00:20.920 the media through and puts the public through, is when 0:00:20.960 --> 0:00:23.520 the politicians sit there and read their own budget and 0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:26.360 mark their own homework. Now, they don't expect the audio 0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:28.560 to be shown anywhere because it's normally just pictures that 0:00:28.720 --> 0:00:31.639 end up on the six PM news. Tonight the most 0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:36.760 awkward I've ever seen, and he's just the dayste. 0:00:36.600 --> 0:00:38.199 I think we should be really proud of it. You know, 0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:41.840 it's ambitious, but it's responsible at the same time. 0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:45.240 Great work. 0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:48.040 The full cringe in a month or two is time. 0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:49.920 But I want to talk about some other things, including 0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:53.080 some updates to big stories that you may well not 0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:55.040 have heard about to this point in time. We'll get 0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:56.720 to some of the other stuff a bit later. Great 0:00:56.720 --> 0:00:58.560 show tonight as well, looking forward to a big debate 0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:01.880 with Senator Matt Can with Matt Cunningham from the Northern 0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:04.280 Territory to talk about this live export issue. I know 0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:06.560 it's massive for people watching us in Regional Australia. We 0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:08.319 get to that in the moment or two's time. But 0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:11.679 as we know, the Labor Party wants to censor the Internet, 0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:14.440 and they say that the video of the stabbing that 0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:17.920 happened a few weeks ago in Western Sydney must be banned. 0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:20.880 You cannot see it. It's too naughty, it's too evil, 0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:25.040 it will inspire too many other crazies. And the e 0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:27.559 safety Karen has told us that, in our own. 0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:32.440 Words, it is vital that we don't use social media 0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:35.800 as a tool for division and fear, but instead as 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:41.280 an instrument of solidarity and social cohesion. Online spaces should 0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:45.080 be safe for everyone, no matter a person's culture, faith, 0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:46.080 or background. 0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:50.200 Yes, Karen, Yes Karen, Please don't cancel me off the Internet, Karen, 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:52.720 Please don't tell me that what I say is misinformation, 0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:57.400 even though we show you the data each and every night. So, 0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:00.800 of course, rather than talking about radicalization and teen radicalization, 0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:03.559 and there's been like almost ten kids in the space 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:05.480 of a couple of weeks that we now know are 0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:09.320 accused of horrible things, including a couple who are alleged 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:11.160 to have actually gone on to do those horrible things. 0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:14.240 On no, no, no, everyone was talking about the real villain here, 0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:18.919 not radical Islam, not a hate preacher, but a billionaire 0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:19.960 from Texas. 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:24.800 We're seeing megomaniacs like Elon Musk going to court to 0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:28.760 fight for the right to show terrorist content, alleged terrorist 0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:30.120 content on his platform. 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:32.320 It just shows his arrogance. 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:36.040 This is an egotist, totally out of touch. 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:40.560 He clearly sees this as a vanity project for himself. 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:44.520 El Must has no social conscience or conscience whatsoever. Quite frankly, 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:46.880 the bloker should be jailed. The power that that man 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:50.200 has because of that platform that he's on. It's got 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:52.480 to stop. That bloke has no conscience. He's an absolute 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:56.000 freaking disgrace. And there's nothing else to say about Alel Musk. 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:01.799 Speaking of Karen's by the way, poor David Pocock, I 0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:03.720 say poor David Pocock, because I know he'll just do 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:05.720 it the government wants in the end, and he'll vote 0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:08.079 for this. But even when Jackie Lamby's just going off 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:10.320 like the Catherine Will, I'm just writing notes. Maybe no 0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:12.440 one will see that I'm here and agreeing with every 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:15.079 word she says. Well, of course they went off to 0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:17.919 court and the e Safety Karen was able to get 0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:22.000 about sixty five videos taken down because if you saw them, 0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:27.359 somehow everything would go wrong. Well, today a court has 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:31.280 now overturned the ban that the E Safety Karen wants 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:34.359 on those videos. Now the thing is still playing out 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:35.880 in court, so who knows what will happen at the 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:38.360 end of the week. But today a federal court judge 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:43.440 has rejected the E Safety Commissioner and her application to 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:46.440 extend the injunction which would have forced X to continue 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:49.280 blocking the content. Now, whether it's all been freed up 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:51.200 tonight or not, we'll all wait and watch and see, 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:58.000 but definitely, even for a day, the Karen's lost, and 0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:01.160 no doubt, Rather than talking about the realization that leads 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:05.240 to the stabbings, we'll go back to talking about Elon Musk, 0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:07.200 but only after, of course, the greatest budget of all 0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:10.560 time has fixed everyone's financial problems. I'll get to it 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:17.080 in a second. But also another little update today, another 0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:21.560 little change in what the official story is. This one 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:25.080 in relation to the Bondai stabbing of a few weeks ago, when, 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:28.240 as you know, six people, including the security guard died 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:31.040 along the members of the public, murdered by a piece 0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:33.440 of work, who was then taken down by the police. 0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:36.520 Good to see, But in the days that followed we 0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:39.200 kept hearing over and over again that obviously this was 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:43.480 a crime that was targeted against women, so much so 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:46.280 that the police commissioner even said as. 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:50.560 Such, it's obvious to me, it's obvious to detectives that 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:55.400 seems to be an area of interest that the offender 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:57.280 had focused on women and avoided the men. 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:00.480 Now for obvious reasons. Five of the six people who 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:02.600 died were women, so that's how the conclusion was made. 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:06.000 But of course he stabbed more people who he ended 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:08.720 up injuring, as well as those the lives of which 0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:12.400 he took well. Today, the Daily Telegraph has done an 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:14.440 interesting follow up where they've spoken to an awful lot 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:16.640 of people who still are reeling from the tragedy, the 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:18.919 people who were there on the day, who were treating 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:20.719 in the hospitals, the police that have been doing the 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:23.160 best to investigate here. And I want to read something 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:25.560 because it's a little change from what the official line is. 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:29.200 The Telegraph can reveal that Isabel's police are no longer 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:31.560 convinced that the killer, remember we don't use his name, 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:35.159 who was a schizophrenic from Queensland was targeting women in 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:40.840 his knife attack on April thirteenth, twenty twenty four. Quote. 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:43.520 Do I think that he was targeting women? 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:43.760 No? 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:47.120 I don't. He stabbed three men and a baby. He 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:49.320 was just running around stabbing people, say as a senior 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:51.320 police officer who wasn't willing to put their name to it. 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:56.200 But isn't it interesting because under the rules of misinformation, 0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:59.960 if you had questioned the narrative about what had happened 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:03.599 in Bondai, well the official line from the police was 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:06.839 that it was the targeting of women. But if at 0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:08.479 the time you simple hang on, he also killed a 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:10.520 male security guard, and he stabbed a baby, and what 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:14.000 about other people that he stabbed? Maybe this was just 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:17.520 the act of an absolute lunatic who I am glad 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:20.320 is no longer on the planet. Let's be very clear 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:23.280 about it. And sometimes things are just random. They don't 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:28.480 have the connections that other horrible events give us. Well, 0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:31.520 that of course would have been misinformation, which meant if 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:34.000 you had posted that such a comment from a person 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:36.960 like me on social media, this government wants to find 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:42.120 social media companies for you posting what the government believes 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:44.040 to not be the official line. Well, listen, an interesting 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:46.960 now that the official line is starting to wobble, just 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:49.560 as it did on COVID, just as it has multiple 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:53.440 times before. One of the many reasons why we cannot 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:56.480 let this government or any government in the future, censor 0:06:57.000 --> 0:07:02.479 the Internet. All right, let's get to the budget now. 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:04.400 Tomorrow night. We'll have a special edition in the program 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:07.960 ninety minutes. It'll start at nine p thirty Eastern time. 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:09.840 If you would like to join us, please do so. 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:12.720 Because my practice and I've been lucky enough to be 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:14.880 doing this for a long time in this dream job 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:17.880 of mine, that you get the spin and the interviews, 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:19.800 and all the journalists that have been stuck together are 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:22.400 all sort of copying each other's homework. But at nine 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:25.320 point thirty tomorrow night, at the process of people who 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:28.239 are not sitting around and learning what's happening in camber. Instead, 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:30.040 we look at it with our own eyes, without the 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:32.640 people pouring sugar. And so we'll tell you the five 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:34.320 things you need to know about the budget, plus a 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:36.600 whole bunch of people that will debate it from all sides. 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:39.880 So the great coverage tomorrow night, nine thirty. No offense 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:42.360 to all the other the coverage, but after the main game, 0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:44.360 we are here to bring home the dessert. And it's 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:46.360 going to be great tomorrow and night because we are 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:48.680 across the tricks and I'll show you all the different 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:50.800 tricks about how they've pulled off a surplus, what they're 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:52.760 going to do with taxation, and whether or not they're 0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:55.040 actually going to do anything of cost of living. But 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:58.040 it's all sales pitch, sales pitch, sales pitch from the 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:00.840 government right now, and we showed you just moments ago. 0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:06.640 One of the excruciating little things the politicians put the 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:09.760 media through because the media demand little footage to go 0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:13.200 with their pre budget speculation stories that run largely in 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:15.200 the six pm news. That means that the Prime Minister 0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:17.640 and the Treasurer of the day, Liberal Labor whatever, they 0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:19.720 sit there and they flick around through the book. So 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:21.640 this is a wonderful budget, isn't it. Because they have 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:23.600 to talk because if they just sat there and didn't 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:25.720 talk and it looked weird, and if they just sat 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:28.200 there in mouthed fake words, it'd be weird. So they 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:31.080 just say stuff on the assumption that no one will 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:34.280 hear it. It's cringey. It's awkward, it's weird, and this 0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:37.440 year it's the weirdest it's ever been. Bahold the Prime 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:40.040 Minister and the Treasurer patting themselves on the back. 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:44.560 That's a that's a great paject provide cost of living 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:49.600 support whilst also having that eye on the economy of the. 0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:54.679 Future and a great budget for women. All those decisions 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:59.760 will talk on women's safety, thousing, the care economy are 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:03.440 the really important ones around driving economic equality for women. 0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:06.839 I hope we should be really proud of it. You know, 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:11.160 it's ambitious, but it's responsible at the same time. It's 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:12.640 got a lot of help for a lot of people, 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:16.480 but also some investment in the future, and so I 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:18.000 think the whole team can be really proud of it. 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:22.480 Decisions we make today can set us up the next 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:24.120 decade and beyond. 0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:29.000 I could play it over and over and over again 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:33.120 as the ultimate metaphor of the bubble within the bubble 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:36.200 within the bubble that of course exists in camera. But 0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:38.560 as you know, the treasurer of things that we're going 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:41.040 to be able to as a country cut inflation faster 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:45.280 than the Reserve Bank. And this essentially matters, not just 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:47.439 because it's a number. But because it's the Reserve Bank 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:49.080 who makes the decision about whether or not they do 0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:52.560 or don't leave interest rates, put them up or hopefully 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:55.800 if you gets crossed, to pull them down. Jim Chalmers says, 0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:57.720 we can fix it all by Christmas. 0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:03.120 So the main difference is not necessarily a difference of opinion, 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:07.160 but a difference of timing. And so because Governor Bullock 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:09.840 released hers before the budget and because ours will be 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:12.800 released with the budget, it means it can take into 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:16.200 consideration the spending restraint that we're showing, the way that 0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:18.080 we're designing our cost of living help. 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:24.160 But for the person who's actually making the decisions about 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:27.280 interest rates, remember they say if we can get to 0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:31.440 between two and three percent inflation, then they won't do 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:33.560 anything more when it comes to interest rates in terms 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:35.920 of increasing and then slowly but surely will hold and 0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:39.000 then start to go down. But remember she doesn't think 0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:42.840 we get there by Christmas. In July, she doesn't think 0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:44.920 we'll get there by Christmas. She doesn't think that we'll 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:48.800 get there by the summer cricket season. She doesn't think 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:53.040 it'll be there until even state of origin time next year. 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:58.360 Inflation at the moment is still declining, but it's declining 0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:02.840 less quickly than we thought, So at the moment we 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:05.800 still think that we can make our target of coming 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:07.840 back into target range by twenty twenty five. 0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:11.280 So who do you believe, the politician who's just going 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:13.280 to tell you they're doing something about cost of living 0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:15.920 but won't actually change anything in your life, or the 0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:17.920 person who's going to have to deal with the consequences 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:20.920 of a budget that will find ways to pump even 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:24.920 more money into the economy, thus becoming stimulatory and potentially 0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:28.600 increasing inflation at the same time petrol prices where they 0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:31.280 continue to go up, but the taxation and it won't 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:34.000 change at all, because of course the government is absolutely 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:37.559 interested in cost of living. For his point, Barnaby Joyce 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:39.959 didn't miss haven't we. 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:43.559 Heard this yarn before on basically everything. Well, you've got 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:45.319 to make a choice. Do you think the RBA got 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:48.560 it wrong with their PhDs and all their stuff and 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:50.320 the Treasure you got it right, and the Treasure got 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:50.600 it right. 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:51.760 The Labor Party got it right. 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:54.920 I mean the guy the promises are falling to the grid. 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:59.560 There's a few PhDs, the parameters are falling to the 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:03.800 great politics you PhD in politics, not in economics. The 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:06.640 promises are falling to the ground like the leaves in autumn. 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:07.920 The question everybody's going. 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:10.520 To ask themselves is this it's their third budget? Is 0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:13.640 your life better now than it was when the Labor 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:14.760 Party came into power? 0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:18.240 And who could possibly say that? It is? An elbow does? 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:20.559 And twelve interest rate rises, not to mention all of 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:22.800 the other issues we talk about uphill and down dal 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:24.680 This is where the rubber hits the road, where the 0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:28.200 BS stops. Now. The BS will continue, of course tomorrow, 0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:30.000 and they'll pretend that they've come up with something. I'll 0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:32.240 tell you by nine point thirty tomorrow night, whether they've 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:34.640 delivered it or not. Through gritted teeth, I'll tell you 0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:36.120 that they've done the right thing, if they have done 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:38.120 the right thing. But I think we both know they're 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:40.880 just going to say they've done the right thing. So 0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:42.880 where do the economists sit on this? There's a blow 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:46.160 called Chris Richardson. He's as much of a feature around 0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:50.760 budget time as any politician. He's been around for decades, constantly, 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:52.720 always in and around the media. So which way does 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:53.840 he thinks things are going to go? 0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:58.720 When governments give you a subsidy, they make your electricity 0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:02.680 or your rent or your chunk cheaper. That does lower 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:05.880 measured inflation. There's a direct impact. The Bureau Stats tells 0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:09.959 us about that. But it also gives families more money 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:14.080 to spend. That's why governments are doing it. That extra spending, 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:19.280 that indirect channel can actually make inflation worse rather than better. 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:23.400 So great that governments are rearranging the pain. It's less 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:26.120 clear that they are reducing the pain of inflation. 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:29.920 So that's the polite way of saying the Reserve Bank, 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:34.800 of course, the puffery and telling us how amazing formerly Grimjim, 0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:38.280 Now Jim from Queensland, who's here to help you. We 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:40.640 talked about this in some detail last night. All the 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:44.320 puffy suck up pieces. Oh here he us buying flowers 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:47.280 on Mother's Day? Oh are the cameras here? How did 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:50.720 that happen? Well, interestingly, the flowers are actually a little 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:54.400 bit of a metaphor because, just like everything else, flowers 0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:58.079 have gone up since this blow became the treasurer. Somebody 0:13:58.120 --> 0:13:59.599 went and actually had a chat to a bunch of 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.920 lass who came back and said, among other things, everything 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:05.520 has increased in price, the cost of growing the flowers 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:07.640 and Australia has gone up, wages have gone up, souper's 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:10.160 gone up, casual rates have gone up, especially after COVID, 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:13.640 which is why the cost of the flowers that the 0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:17.320 Treasurer is going to give himself along with the Prime 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:20.680 Minister and the mean girl for how amazing their budget is. 0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:22.440 But the reality is of you with somebody who bought 0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:25.960 flowers yesterday. You may notice they're a little higher than 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:28.520 they were a couple of years ago. Of course, nothing 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:30.720 to do with the government at all, nothing at all. 0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:33.320 And then there were the puff piece. There was this 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:36.000 particularly unique puff piece in the Cydny Morning Herald where 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:38.600 they did coverage on the coverage of the puff pieces. 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:41.680 So think about how sort of you know, Chris Nolan 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:45.880 inception this is starting, you know, the dreams within a dream. Well, 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:50.120 this is the coverage within the coverage of the Treasurer. Now, 0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:51.840 this of course was an interview who did with SBS 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:53.360 that we showed you last time when he was shown 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:55.400 people who were dealing with the cost of living. But 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:59.280 let's get to the puff Jim Charmer's Sunday Run beguns. 0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:01.680 It begins at three forty six am, and it's a 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:06.760 warm up for the budget now in it. Jim Charmers 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:10.320 has four affirmations scrawled across the top of his talking 0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:16.120 points forty one, sh hh, and wh and these are 0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:19.400 the guiding principles of the greatest treasurer of all time. 0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:25.240 Sh means steady hands, and that's because they need to 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:30.600 keep inflation in check. HH stands for hard head, a 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:35.440 prompt about the need to find value for money, while 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:38.680 wh is warm heart. He needs to be reminded about 0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:42.240 warm heart, a reminder that a government plans to do 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:45.760 and must deliver cost of living in the budget. So 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:49.600 because he writes notes on top of the notes about 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:51.560 the lies they're going to sell you on the budget. 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:56.000 Oh he's so well prepared. Thank goodness. Doctor Charmers with 0:15:56.120 --> 0:16:00.760 his scalpel is here to help for coverage tomorrow night, 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:05.000 nine to thirty here on Sky News. Believe me be here. 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:07.520 If you only watch one pul Marie Live a year, 0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:09.920 that's the one to watch nine point thirty tomorrow night 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:11.880 and be there for the whole ninety minutes because I'll 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:16.520 have plenty to say. Now we all know that Stephen 0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:19.880 Miles is fingers crossed headed for the political wood chipper 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:22.880 towards the end of the year. But let's be honest, 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:25.400 queens and Labour Party is good at changing the subject. 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:29.520 They've won elections they definitely shouldn't have. But certainly when 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:31.520 you look at the west Ips switch by election and 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:33.800 plenty of others, there are people, no matter how desperate 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:37.320 he looks with his Queensland Maroon's add on, they just 0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:39.280 walk past him. No, I'm not voting Labor, I'm not 0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:42.240 a bugger off, but not interested. So he's doing everything 0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:44.680 he possibly can to somehow pull this one out of 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:46.680 the fire. And he thinks that he's going to be 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:49.240 able to do what they weren't able to do in Canberra, 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:54.840 and that's called the Supermarkets of Australia toward that he 0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:57.320 will be able to single handedly prove, in a hand 0:16:57.360 --> 0:17:01.680 selected committee dominated by the Labor Party in the Queensland 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:04.560 Parliament what they weren't able to do in Canberra. Now, 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:07.080 remember when it was in Canberra, the CEOs of Woolies 0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:10.440 and coals. They got a tongue lashing from the Greens 0:17:11.560 --> 0:17:15.359 swearing in everything. Reality, of course, nothing changes, nothing will changed, 0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:17.000 But they all had their little moment in the sun 0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:21.760 and so it was the inquiry was there in Brisbane today. 0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:25.639 Now Stephen Miles was all fine up and ready to 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:29.480 go because they were going to finally put the sword 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:32.840 to these evil, evil supermarkets. 0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:38.640 Queens Landers would like to hear, is a supermarket boss 0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:40.399 say we could have done better? 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:45.400 And that's the weirdest part. He's on the committee. Now. 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:50.320 Normally parliamentary committees are backbenches when it comes to the 0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:54.119 opposition shadow ministers, but essentially the Premier or the Minister 0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:57.200 doesn't sit on the panel. But because he wants the 0:17:57.320 --> 0:18:00.760 whole background on the six PM news, him sitting there 0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:05.560 in the Parliament waving his fingers at the CEOs that 0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:09.120 somehow magically the people of Queensland will work out, Oh oh, 0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:11.119 he's on our side, because you know he wears the 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:18.520 maron's cap. Seriously. Now, as for the actual bosses of 0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:22.240 the supermarkets, they've told him to go jump. None of 0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:23.840 the CEOs are willing to sit there and go through 0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:26.160 the tongue lashing that happened at the Federal so they've 0:18:26.200 --> 0:18:30.000 actually sent a whole bunch of underlings. But of course, 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:32.880 the fact that the CEO of Coles and woollis, wasn't 0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:38.640 there to be fingerwave that by giggles. Oh, he's very annoyed. 0:18:40.440 --> 0:18:42.840 What we've seen from the supermarkets is they just don't 0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:45.800 seem to get it. They just don't seem to get 0:18:46.040 --> 0:18:49.239 how the impact of their prices and their practices are 0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:54.080 hurting Queensland households and hurting Queensland farmers. In particular Coals 0:18:54.240 --> 0:18:57.760 is thumbing their nose at Queenslander's thumbing their nose at 0:18:57.760 --> 0:18:58.880 the Queensland Parliament. 0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:04.800 Just a quick mental note, think about he is comments 0:19:04.800 --> 0:19:10.600 there about Coles that particularly Coals is causing trouble for people. 0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:16.400 Just put a pinion as for who's actually representing the supermarkets. 0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:18.840 They've got high ranking people who are based in Queensland 0:19:18.840 --> 0:19:21.320 that are turning up in front of it. The supermarket 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:24.119 giants have elected to cends and your staff with government 0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:27.879 and industry relations people, the head of Public Affairs that 0:19:27.920 --> 0:19:30.520 were there on the behalf of Coles, the Chief Commercial 0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:34.040 Officer and the Queensland direction Director of Woolies were the 0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:35.679 ones that were sitting down. So there were people that 0:19:35.680 --> 0:19:37.359 were willing to cop the tongue lashing, but it's not 0:19:37.400 --> 0:19:46.040 as sexy as yelling at the CEOs. But interestingly, another 0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:50.720 person who was on the inquiry today is the shadow 0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:54.760 Agriculture minister. The shadow Agriculture Minister is Tony Perodi. Had 0:19:54.800 --> 0:19:59.720 to double check his name and he was there asking question, 0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:03.639 but he was booted out of the inquiry that Stephen 0:20:03.680 --> 0:20:06.280 Miles is sitting on as well. That's dominated by the 0:20:06.320 --> 0:20:08.760 Labor Party in the Lower House. And it is again 0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:14.600 a show trial because he tried to introduce a photo today. 0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:19.760 Before I show you the photo, he was told he 0:20:19.800 --> 0:20:22.440 wasn't allowed to do it. That was therefore ruled disorderly. 0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:26.000 Therefore he was booted out of the room. You cannot 0:20:26.040 --> 0:20:28.720 ask any more questions for at least sixty minutes. Why 0:20:30.160 --> 0:20:35.320 because the photo was this photo, the photo of the 0:20:35.359 --> 0:20:38.960 bloke who said what about Coles. This photo is not 0:20:39.040 --> 0:20:42.840 from five years ago and from five weeks ago. It's 0:20:42.840 --> 0:20:46.240 barely from five days ago. This was when he was 0:20:46.280 --> 0:20:50.200 at Beef Week last week in Rockhampton and he's cooking 0:20:50.280 --> 0:20:52.040 up a storm with a bunch of school kids. Had 0:20:52.080 --> 0:20:56.560 an event sponsored by carls Now for food safety. Maybe 0:20:56.560 --> 0:20:58.000 he had that wear the hat. Perhaps he could have 0:20:58.040 --> 0:21:01.239 turned it around though, So can you believe that the 0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:05.840 show trial is so thin in its political objections at 0:21:05.840 --> 0:21:09.920 objectives that someone trying to introduce a photo that kind 0:21:09.920 --> 0:21:14.840 of contradicts the I Hate Coles of Stephen Miles is 0:21:14.880 --> 0:21:18.000 booted out of the committee for a full hour. Oh yeah, 0:21:18.400 --> 0:21:21.400 they're committed to the big issues, aren't they, the Miles government. Now, 0:21:21.520 --> 0:21:25.000 whether you go to Cole's, Woolli's aldi IgA or whatever 0:21:25.040 --> 0:21:27.639
