WEBVTT - The Rita Panahi Show | 4 June 0:00:02.640 --> 0:00:07.080 On Scar louds Ostrodio. This is the Reader Panalty Show. 0:00:08.400 --> 0:00:11.440 Good evening and welcome to the Riata Panety Show coming 0:00:11.520 --> 0:00:14.960 up tonight. Well fact check Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is 0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:20.520 bizarre Sky News rant, the ABC lurching from crisis to crisis. 0:00:20.600 --> 0:00:23.959 It's not just legal headaches for the national broadcaster, but 0:00:24.040 --> 0:00:29.560 today's radio ratings were disastrous, the lowest ABC Melbourne has 0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:34.199 recorded since modern records began some twenty years ago. And 0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:40.000 tonight's Lefties Losing It features Fatties for Palestine. 0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:45.160 Fatties for Palestine, what a consapp So these are available 0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:48.479 in an extra large to E six acts. It's just 0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:53.320 fat folks showing their solidarity because oppression recognizes opression and 0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:54.960 ol oppression is interconnected. 0:00:55.880 --> 0:00:56.440 There you go. 0:00:56.520 --> 0:01:01.280 We've had queers for Palestine and now Fatty for Palestine. 0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:04.640 Can't wait to see what they conjure up next. Now 0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:08.160 the Minister for Immigration is under attack again this way 0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:10.959 he has been the focal point of question time for 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:13.600 five sittings in a row. He's made a number of 0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:19.560 serious blunders in this crucial portfolio, including Ministerial Direction ninety nine, 0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:23.840 which has led directly to criminals including pedophiles and rapists 0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:29.160 dodging deportation. Now, as reported first on Sky News, the 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:31.240 Prime Minister's hands are. 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:33.280 Not entirely clean. Not only does he. 0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:37.480 Have responsibility as the leader of this inept government, but 0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:41.520 it was his department that directly instructed the Home Affairs 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:45.520 Department to find a way to stop the deportation of 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:49.720 New Zealand citizens who had lived in Australia for many years. 0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:51.840 This was at the behest of former New Zealand Prime 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:55.720 ministerist into Ard Dern. She had made the same requests 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:59.639 of the coalition government and been rightly ignored, but now 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:03.520 laborer in power. Sky News was first report on the 0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:07.840 weekend that the PM's department's instruction came prior to the 0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:13.160 drafting of Immigration Minister Andrew Giles's Direction ninety nine in 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:18.760 January twenty twenty three, which Labor is scrambling to revise 0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:23.120 this week even they realize what a mess up this 0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:26.360 is now. We'll get back to the PM in a second, 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:30.440 But the Immigration Minister has again this week blamed his 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:35.800 department after admitting he falsely claimed criminals release from detention 0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:41.240 were being monitored by drones. Jiles wants to blame the 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:44.519 aat the Administrative Appeals Tribunal. 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:46.239 He wants to blame his department. 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:52.280 He takes no responsibility for the mayhem his helped usher in. 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:55.359 But it's not just the Immigration minister. Have a look 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:58.840 at how the Prime Minister responded to the news Andrew 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:02.560 Colonel broke on Sky News about his own department. 0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:06.880 Andrew Clanel of Sky News has reported that following the 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:10.320 Prime Minister's meetings with Jacinta Adirn and prior to the 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:14.320 introduction of Direction ninety nine, the Prime Minister's Department directly 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:18.560 instructed the Home Affairs Department to attempt to find a 0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:22.120 way to stop the deportation of so many New Zealand 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:26.760 citizens and to quote fix the problem, Prime Minister, is 0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:27.440 this true? 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:33.560 Sky News Occasionally occasionally don't get things right. 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:38.960 I know it'll come, usually tonight, usually during. 0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:43.760 The day before it becomes dark, when truth sort of 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:47.400 gets darkened as the day goes. 0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:54.320 On Sky after dark, truth gets darkened. Does he not 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:58.200 know Andrew Colonel's show Sunday A Gender is on in 0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:01.560 the morning. It's eight am, Albert. I don't know what 0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:07.160 parallel universe you inhabit, but eight am ain't dark and 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:11.480 as far as an amateur hour attacks against Sky News's 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:17.520 prime time lineup, Albow is showing yet again he's a 0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:21.479 student activist who's foiled his way up all the way 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:25.760 into the launch. Joining me now as senior Herald Sun 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:30.800 columnist Patrick Carlin and Patrick the PM's bizarro rant. There 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:35.480 does not distract anyone interested in this issue. They've made 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:39.240 a mess of this area, They've pledged to fix it. 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:43.320 They're going to be replacing Direction ninety nine in the 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:44.080 coming days. 0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:47.200 Well, look, I think Rita, I think Greg Sheridan got 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:49.320 it right today in The Australian he talked about Andrew 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:52.320 Giles making an error every time he opens his mouth, 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:54.280 and then the next time he opens his mouth he 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:56.720 blamed somebody else for the error. And this has been 0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:59.040 going on for weeks. It's put us in danger as 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:03.440 a community. I've never seen a minister struggle for so long, 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:06.000 and he really does need to be put out of 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:08.799 his misery. But that's very interesting what's come out today. 0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:12.240 In the last few days. The previous government pushed back 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:16.760 against New Zealand on changing these rules. It's because of 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:19.560 what happened in July twenty twenty two and Albo and 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:22.760 Jacinda Adurn that actually led to this situation now, so 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:23.920 it's bigger than we thought it. 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:25.640 Was, absolutely and. 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:31.400 New Zealand has been campaigning for that to happen for 0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:35.320 some time. They don't want their criminals sent back to them. 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:37.760 I don't know why we would be trying to appease them. 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:40.760 It's New Zealand for for the love of God. Now 0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:45.320 there's labor mistakes are obviously making some within the party nervous, 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:50.600 nervous enough perhaps to leak stories against potential leadership rivals. 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:54.440 To Anthony ALBERIZI look at this one about NDIS Minister 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:55.120 Bill Shorten. 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:57.840 Former leader Bill Shorten to Daily Telegraph. 0:05:57.440 --> 0:06:01.200 Reveals he's got his own personal speech writer, costing the 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:05.799 taxpayer six hundred and twenty thousand dollars over two years. 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:07.400 This is a genuine story, but. 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:14.480 It's interesting the timing their source is interesting, and particularly 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:17.880 when you mean it's definitely a story that should be 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:21.560 told because this is a minister with a communications department. 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:24.560 Why does he need to be paying someone six hundred 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:27.680 and twenty thousand over two years to write speeches? I mean, 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:29.760 who's he speaking to the Hague? 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:32.760 You know the market rate for writers, don't you. Obviously, 0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:35.880 given what we do, six hundred and twenty grand over 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:37.120 two years is pretty good going. 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:41.279 How many speeches is he doing a day against that? 0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:45.680 Bill Shorten, who is savvy, has sort of distanced himself 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:47.320 from it and sort of said, well, this has nothing 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:50.520 to do with me, but who's setting the market rate here? 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:53.599 It's an awful lot of money, absolutely, in an area 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:57.760 that is plagued with problems with the endis and everything 0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:00.599 else for somebody to be paid that amount of but 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:02.960 that sort of work just beggars below. 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:06.760 And he's got a communication, he's got people within his 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:09.960 own team who are capable of helping him with his speeches. 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:13.680 Wouldn't it be refreshing if a minister wrote his own speeches, 0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:14.560 his own words. 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:17.360 That would never happen now, That would never happen. 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:20.600 Now to Victoria, where landlords are going to have to 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:26.360 install ceiling installation and energy effission heating system, whole raft 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:29.800 of new works. They will have to be undertaken to 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:34.360 meet new minimum standards to help improve rental conditions and 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:39.480 keep the electricity bills down for renters. The Victorian government 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:42.480 ministers are very excited to announce these changes. 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:47.960 We're here to announce today the launch of consultation on 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:49.760 some new minimum standards. 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:52.880 From October next year. There'd need to be ceiling insulation, 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:58.040 weather seals, three star cooling systems, four star shower heads 0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:02.000 plus blind court and kor and once a heater or 0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:05.440 hot water system conks out, it'll have to be replaced 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:07.880 with an energy efficient electric option. 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:12.280 We're looking at annual dollar savings on tenants bills of 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:16.200 around three hundred and thirty dollars. 0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:20.360 The save renters three hundred dollars if they're right with 0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:23.000 their figures, and the Victorian government often are not right 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:23.400 with their. 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:24.920 Figures three hundred dollars annually. 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:27.880 But I would argue, if the landlord is going to 0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:31.320 have to spend thousands, and we're talking many thousands to 0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:34.560 meet these minimum standards, the rents are going to go 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:37.840 up by a little bit more than three hundred annually. 0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:41.680 I mean, how monstrously stupid would you have to be 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:44.679 Patrick not to see this the impact that you're going 0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:48.720 to have less rental properties available, so the rental pool shrinks, 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:51.840 rents go up, and that the landlords are going to 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:54.079 try to pass these costs on too rents naturally. 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:56.480 Absolutely, And look, I mean you can't look at this 0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:58.920 in isolation. Here in Victoria, we've got a land tax 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:01.640 that's tripled or something like that in the last few years. 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:05.400 The overheads for landlords have just gone through the room. 0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:08.920 The Victorian government seems to be driven by ideology and debt, 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:11.640 where the rich people have to pay off this debt 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:14.920 that just keeps escalating week in week out with the 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:18.240 big projects here in Victoria. And of course the renters 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:20.160 they're the ones who are caught in the buying. I mean, 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:22.360 in a lot of cases, they can't afford to stay 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:24.320 and they can't afford to go because it is so 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:26.960 difficult with the cost of living. The Victorian government is 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:30.000 doing nothing for them on any level, and in so 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:32.880 many ways they're actually hurting them and making it worse. 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:33.839 Absolutely. 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:36.480 Now let's go to this story from the mul Dives 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:37.439 or the Maldives. 0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:38.720 Which one do you prefer. 0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:40.160 Mold E's I believe. 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:42.080 Is it's correct. I've been there and I still don't 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:43.160 know what's correct. 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:49.079 But this popular holiday destination is going to ban Israeli 0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:54.040 passports from Israelis can no longer holiday there, and thousands 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:56.120 do from Israel every year. 0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:57.880 This is not isolated. 0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:01.240 There's a number of Islamic majority countries that ban Israeli 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:09.720 passports or the likes of Bangladesh, Brunei, Iran, Kuwait, Pakistan, Syria, Libya, Yemen. 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:11.880 As others on the list. 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:15.320 This is a bold move, then this could have an 0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:19.640 impact far wider than Israel. I'm going to imagine there'd 0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:21.679 be a lot of other people who'd say, I'll find 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:26.559 somewhere else idealic to holiday, not somewhere that bands Israeli passports. 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:27.440 I didn't realize. 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:31.800 I think eleven thousand Israelis go to the Maldives each year, 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:35.079 and there were actually warnings starting to be introduced last 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:36.320 year within Israel. 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:37.040 Watch out, you. 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:41.880 Take it carefully if you're planning to go there. I 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:45.520 think in this rise of anti Semitism that we're feeling 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.199 here in Australia, if anything, this is actually a good 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:50.520 reason not to go to the Maldives, whether you're Jewish 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:56.080 or not, because it's obviously targeted against Jewish people across 0:10:56.120 --> 0:11:02.920 the board. It's very Islamic driven in its direction, and 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:05.120 it's actually famil I'd say, well, hang on, if I'm 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:06.120 going to go here or there. 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:07.599 I might not go there because of this. 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:11.280 I tell you where it's idyllic and you don't have 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:13.000 any of these sort of conditions. 0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:14.479 The Florida Panhandle. 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:17.080 That's where I like to go beach holidays. 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:18.959 So yeah, put that on the list. 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:24.280 Now to this disturbing story from Europe, the euthanasia slippery 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:30.320 slope is real. A physically healthy Dutch woman named Zarea 0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:35.240 tur Beek had her life terminated because her depression met 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:40.520 the requirement for unbearable suffering with no prospect of improvement. 0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:46.240 She was only twenty nine years old. A sad, depressed 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:49.240 twenty nine year old who was killed by this stay 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:54.000 this is state sponsored suicide. We know she her a 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:56.880 little bit of her story. She was bullied as a child. 0:11:57.000 --> 0:12:01.160 She was diagnosed with autism. At twenty one, she started 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:04.800 wearing a do not Resuscitate tag around to neck. At 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:08.520 twenty two, she said her psychologist has told her that 0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:11.719 a depression wasn't going to go away and started her 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:14.679 on her assisted suicide journey. 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:18.520 Patrick, this is awful, just absolutely awful. I find it 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:20.719 hard to believe that a psychologist would say you're never 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:24.600 going to get over your depression and then start to 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:29.360 help this process of dying, that is stay sponsored. I've 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:33.880 seen elderly people go through terminal illness and linger longer 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:36.160 than they should, and euthanasia is a good thing in 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:38.320 a lot of those cases. But a twenty nine year old, 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:40.319 how can you say, well, the rest of her life 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:44.560 is doomed, We're going to end it nowtantly healthy. 0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:50.079 But they consider mental pain chronic pain. Patrick Carline, thank 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:52.560 you so much for you one this evening. Joining me 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:57.640 now is the Australians media writer Sophie Ellsworth. Sophie, let's 0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:02.360 start with the former ABC present Antoinette Latouffe, who had 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:04.800 a bit of a win this week after the Fair 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:08.839 Work Commission found she was indeed sacked by the ABC 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:13.239 midway through her employment. The ABC had argued her contract 0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:15.640 wasn't actually terminated. 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:17.600 Tell me what. 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:22.040 Impact this decision will have on the case she's pursuing. 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:26.360 Is she going to now be compensated or does this 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:28.600 mean she was unfairly terminated. 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:31.960 Well, it's now moving on RITA to the Federal Court, 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:34.840 so it's still got some way to play out. But 0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:39.200 the ABC were arguing that she wasn't terminated. She had 0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:42.640 five casual shifts to do and she was let go 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:45.280 after three, but she was paid for all five. She 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:48.599 was paid for all five and. 0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:49.800 So it's very interesting. 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:52.040 They're saying, you know, you don't need to shop for 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:56.800 you basically your last two episodes after she put up 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:59.520 this Instagram post which they deemed was a. 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:00.840 Breach of social media. 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:03.440 So this is a story that just will not go 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:07.400 away for ABC Sydney. Been very damaging for them. We're 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:09.880 six months on and we still don't have a result. 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:11.800 This is interesting. 0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:15.240 So if you've got five shifts under some sort of 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:19.440 a casual employment agreement and you're let go but you're 0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:22.560 paid for all five, you can still be deemed to 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:26.080 be terminated and then have certain rights that are attached 0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:26.560 after that. 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:28.720 Well, that clearly must be the case reto. 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:31.440 Because she was four or five shifts, they said you're 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:32.160 here for five. 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:34.160 After her third shift. 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:36.480 On the Wednesday, that's when they made the decision you 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:37.600 don't need to come back. 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:40.840 Well, they've got bigger problems, I would argue here in 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:44.320 Melbourne because the radio ratings came out today and ABC 0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:49.480 Melbourne this is the worst they have recorded since modern 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:52.560 ratings have been in place. The age saying this is 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:55.640 the worst they have seen in twenty years. This is 0:14:55.840 --> 0:15:00.600 quite a setback. What is behind this rating slide? It 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:03.320 didn't start in this survey, but this is a new low. 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:04.560 That's right RETA. 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:08.120 So from all the records I can see, this is 0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:12.000 the lowest that they've had in the existing rating system. 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:15.840 They're down to five point four percent audience share, which 0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:20.680 is very low, and clearly whatever they're doing is not working. 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:25.000 They've had a reshuffle, moving host different spots up. Most 0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:28.320 of the changes were late last year, but it's not working. 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:33.119 Are they going to I don't know, rejigt their offering 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:35.080 or are we going to see more of the same 0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:38.240 because they did seem to have a freshen up, but 0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:43.920 it's the same old ABC types. There's really not a 0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:48.080 great deal of diversity of opinion on that, and I 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:51.960 would argue the appeal of it is fairly limited. 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:53.040 And that's the problem REACHO. 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:56.440 They just you know, shuffle did a bit of musical chairs. 0:15:56.520 --> 0:16:00.000 They don't inject new talent people from outside the ABC 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:04.160 into the ABC. It's just a reshuffling of staff they have. 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:07.040 And I think this is proving a problem because their 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:11.640 stations are feeling it right across the country, but particularly Melbourne. 0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:14.359 Now let's talk about the Project. 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:17.600 Apparently having a bunch of lefty hosts, that's not enough. 0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:20.360 Channel ten want to go even further left, so they 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:24.640 bought in a Guardian journalist on as a guest to 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:29.200 opine about nuclear energy policies and economics. 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:31.440 Let's have a look. 0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:35.080 Because we keep talking about it being a cheaper source 0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:38.640 of zero carbon energy, in which case, right now, yes 0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:42.200 it is, but the reality is as we move forward, 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:45.160 it's not going to be the cheaper source of energy. 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:51.360 Yeah, when I need economics and energy advice, I go 0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:55.520 straight to your favorite Guardian journalism. I mean really, but 0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:58.600 tell me about the project, how they're traveling. We're hearing 0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:02.200 about Q and A and other program designed for lefties 0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:05.120 being in peril. There's talk about it not coming back 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:08.199 for another season. How are these shows traveling in the 0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:09.080 current environment. 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:12.080 Well, they've changed the whole rating system RITA, so it's 0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:14.120 hard to compare apples with apples. 0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:15.320 But we do know that. 0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:19.639 Freedomware television has struggled in recent years, particularly the growth 0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:23.840 of streaming, and projects like the shows like the Project 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:26.639 have struggled. They obviously had all that fall out with 0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:30.240 the Britney Higgins interview they did with Lisa Wilkinson. Channel 0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:33.720 ten has a lot of problems and the project is 0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:37.320 really just in this little echo chamber of left leaning voices. 0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:41.080 It doesn't very rarely branch out other than having people 0:17:41.200 --> 0:17:44.360 like fellow Sky News host Steve Price on it once 0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:46.760 a week, once a week, for once a week. 0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:48.840 As token conservative for once a week. 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:50.359 That's right, that's right, Rita. 0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:53.040 Now Channel nine. 0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:55.399 They've got their own woes as now talk about a 0:17:55.520 --> 0:18:03.600 class action. Female employees current and former are talking with lawyers. 0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:05.800 What's the latest that Channel nine. 0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:08.560 So, Rita, this is saga is still going on. 0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:11.800 Obviously, there's a lot of people have spoken out of 0:18:11.880 --> 0:18:18.280 alleged mistreatment at the network, sexual harassment, and now Morris Blackfirm, 0:18:18.359 --> 0:18:20.400 one of the big law firms, has come out and said, look, 0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:23.960 women who have been treated badly in the TV industry, 0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:25.000 come and see us. 0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:26.720 This looks like. 0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:30.120 It's going to gain some momentum Rita. With a lot 0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:33.280 of women coming forward now if they can see that, 0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:38.200 they could potentially sue nine again. This is another headache 0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:41.160 for the network that they really don't need right into 0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:44.280 them coming up to the Olympics, which is a big 0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:46.679 investment for them. They've got to deal with all this 0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:49.160 fallout of the departure of Darren Wick. 0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:54.639 Still as Maurice Blackburn in and inviting women to come 0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:58.000 forward and talk about the culture at nine. Is it 0:18:58.080 --> 0:19:01.520 limited to nine or are they talking about at other 0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:02.639 networks as well? 0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:05.280 So they've put a post up on social media saying, 0:19:05.600 --> 0:19:08.840 you know, in the television industry, they haven't you know, 0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:12.040 reduced it to particular networks. But it's broader than that, 0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:15.600 and I suspect going on what we've seen in recent weeks, 0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:17.639 there will be quite a few people coming forward. 0:19:18.119 --> 0:19:20.280 Interesting. So for Elsworth, thank you so much for your 0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:21.000 time this evening. 0:19:21.080 --> 0:19:21.720 Thank you, Rita. 0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:23.080 Still to come. 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:27.679 Lefties losing It and doctor Sebastian. 0:19:27.040 --> 0:19:29.280 Gorka tells me what really. 0:19:29.000 --> 0:19:42.200 Happened in that Manhattan courtroom. That's up next, Welcome back. 0:19:42.320 --> 0:19:46.720 Now it's time for Lefties losing it. I regret to 0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:51.280 inform you that Queers for Palestine has some competition in 0:19:51.359 --> 0:19:55.360 the Lefties losing its space. Sorry QFP, but a new 0:19:55.440 --> 0:20:01.280 clown show has joined the chat. It's FFP Fatties for Palestine. 0:20:01.440 --> 0:20:03.480 Oh yes, that's a thing now. 0:20:10.400 --> 0:20:10.600 Enough. 0:20:14.240 --> 0:20:17.160 Yes, they even have their own shirts and you can 0:20:17.200 --> 0:20:20.480 get one too if you want, but the size range 0:20:20.560 --> 0:20:21.480 is rather limited. 0:20:21.880 --> 0:20:26.800 Are you fat? Are you pro Palestine? Boy? Do I 0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:29.280 have a shirt for you? A look what I just got? 0:20:30.160 --> 0:20:33.280 Isn't it beautiful? Fatty is for Palestine? 0:20:33.480 --> 0:20:34.280 What a concept? 0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:37.600 So these are available in an extra large two A 0:20:37.800 --> 0:20:41.399 six x. So basically, you know, it's just fat folks 0:20:41.440 --> 0:20:46.160 showing their solidarity because oppression recognizes oppression and all oppression 0:20:46.240 --> 0:20:49.200 is interconnected. My only complaint is I wish it came 0:20:49.240 --> 0:20:51.159 in other colors then white, because I already go to 0:20:51.200 --> 0:20:53.160 coffee stand on mine. But you know what, it's okay. 0:20:53.480 --> 0:20:55.159 The money went to where it was supposed to go 0:20:55.200 --> 0:20:56.800 to free Palestine. 0:20:57.640 --> 0:20:58.200 Go get one. 0:20:59.480 --> 0:21:03.840 Did you hear that oppression recognizes oppression and all oppression 0:21:04.000 --> 0:21:09.160 is interconnected. That's that warped intersectional dogma, just more neo 0:21:09.280 --> 0:21:13.680 Marxist lunacy. And can we stop pretending that fatties are 0:21:13.720 --> 0:21:17.040 an oppressed group. You literally have more food than you need. 0:21:17.200 --> 0:21:20.200 Most of the world's population over most of the history 0:21:20.200 --> 0:21:23.639 of mankind would be thrilled with that. Now back to 0:21:23.720 --> 0:21:27.600 fattist for Palestine, and they are making an appearance on 0:21:27.920 --> 0:21:30.280 university campuses as well. 0:21:30.400 --> 0:21:31.240 You can't miss them. 0:21:31.720 --> 0:21:35.520 We're here at Umas's campus supporting the students in their encampment. 0:21:36.040 --> 0:21:41.119 They're demanding for divestment from war properteers and the warmongers. 0:21:41.160 --> 0:21:43.680 I'm here with Yaffa, who just come to the students 0:21:44.040 --> 0:21:48.240 in like the most inspiring, beautiful way, and I think really. 0:21:48.119 --> 0:21:49.280 Am ritupid as a crowd. 0:21:49.680 --> 0:21:49.959 Thank you. 0:21:50.400 --> 0:21:51.840 It's been such a pleasure to be out here. 0:21:52.119 --> 0:21:53.360 Pleasure You're able to come out. 0:21:53.520 --> 0:21:57.160 Come out if you're not in Massachusetts or Western Massachusetts, 0:21:57.160 --> 0:22:00.600 go out to an encampment, you're in students around here 0:22:00.640 --> 0:22:02.480 starting these encampments everywhere. 0:22:03.320 --> 0:22:06.760 Yes, this movement is growing at a rapid pace. I 0:22:06.800 --> 0:22:09.720 can't wait to see what these lefties losing it will 0:22:09.760 --> 0:22:13.880 come up with next. Now, let's look at a sketch 0:22:14.160 --> 0:22:16.480 mocking the excesses. 0:22:15.760 --> 0:22:17.800 Of the Wok mind virus. 0:22:17.920 --> 0:22:21.840 Remember the board game Guess Who. It's still around and 0:22:22.000 --> 0:22:26.800 still good, wholesome family fun. But is the game truly inclusive? 0:22:26.920 --> 0:22:31.400 Does it cater for demi boys and non binary pan sexuals? 0:22:31.800 --> 0:22:32.200 It does? 0:22:32.320 --> 0:22:36.119 Now, Hey, kids who wants to play Guess Who? 0:22:36.359 --> 0:22:37.720
