Speaker 1: Welcome to the late Base. Good evening and welcome to
Speaker 1: the program.
Speaker 2: I'm Caleb Bond with Joe Hildebrand and Liz Storer. As
Speaker 2: of today in Victoria, you can be chucked in jail
Speaker 2: for up to five years for posting rude memes. We'll
Speaker 2: tell you a little bit more about that very soon
Speaker 2: in the papers. The Till candidate, who was banned from
Speaker 2: a hair salon for making sexualized comments to a young
Speaker 2: hairdresser has in the past campaigned against sexual harassment, would
Speaker 2: you believe it? And the Sydney train that took off
Speaker 2: today with the doors open, you'll want to see that footage.
Speaker 2: And later the Libs have come up with a novel
Speaker 2: way to stop Monique Ryan from stealing their core flutes.
Speaker 1: Now, how's this for a story.
Speaker 2: It was broken this afternoon on two GB by Clinton
Speaker 2: Maynard that electric buses that are currently driving around Sydney
Speaker 2: are being charged with diesel generators. Yes, you would have
Speaker 2: thought that. The whole idea of an electric bus is
Speaker 2: that it's clean and green and it's stopping emissions. And
Speaker 2: if you've seen the electric buses that drive around Sydney
Speaker 2: at the moment, you can see on the screen. There
Speaker 2: these diesel generators that are currently being used at the
Speaker 2: Merrickville bus depot. But if you've seen these electric buses
Speaker 2: that drive around Sydney, they say on the side of them,
Speaker 2: this is an emissions free bus, and so you'd think
Speaker 2: you'd be able to take that at face value. Apparently not,
Speaker 2: he was Clinton explaining it this afternoon.
Speaker 3: Those depots are supposed to rely on renewable energy. That
Speaker 3: is not the case at Marrickville. We have the photographic
Speaker 3: evidence to prove it. I'm also hearing this has been
Speaker 3: repeated other depots across Sydney. Electric buses may well be
Speaker 3: the answer to cleaner, even more reliable public transport in
Speaker 3: the future, but we can't be fooled when the buses
Speaker 3: themselves are plugged into diesel generated.
Speaker 2: Those photos you saw before came through from a guy
Speaker 2: who was working at the bus stepot and was rather
Speaker 2: amused to see the clean and green electric buses being
Speaker 2: with diesel generators. Will Transport for New South Wales came
Speaker 2: through to explain that it's okay, it's just a temporary.
Speaker 4: Measure because these buses are only there temporarily. It didn't
Speaker 4: make sense to spend a lot of taxpayers money to
Speaker 4: upgrade that depot to full electric because we'll end up
Speaker 4: moving those buses probably in the next nine to twelve
Speaker 4: months to an electrified depot.
Speaker 2: So in the meantime, instead of putting diesel in a
Speaker 2: bus and then burning it through the combustion engine in
Speaker 2: the bus, will put the diesel into a generator where
Speaker 2: the combustion engine will burn it and turn it into
Speaker 2: electricity that we can feed into the bus, so we
Speaker 2: can say that the bus has zero emissions it rather.
Speaker 1: Definats the point of an electric buster.
Speaker 5: Oh bo, I don't know, is that all that diesel
Speaker 5: is powered by renewable energy. So yeah, there's a I
Speaker 5: just don't get. I'd have to say either it's clean energy.
Speaker 1: Or it's no, not exactly.
Speaker 5: And if suddenly the cost to the tax and look
Speaker 5: at the government's good, it's sense of well, it's trying
Speaker 5: to get the balance right. But if it was the
Speaker 5: cost to the taxpayer that everyone was worried about, wouldn't
Speaker 5: you just be using the old exact diesel bustles.
Speaker 2: Surely they've got them lying around that they could just
Speaker 2: fire them up.
Speaker 5: I just yeah, no, I just don't get out and
Speaker 5: I think I don't know, I just I think it's
Speaker 5: always the problem with these things. As soon as you
Speaker 5: say something like it's not so much the running of
Speaker 5: the clean it's like you say, it's the fact that
Speaker 5: it says this breathe easy, this is a zero emissions bus.
Speaker 5: As soon as you start virtue signaling about it, as
Speaker 5: soon as you start bragging about it, that seems to
Speaker 5: be when everything falls over. And of course these were
Speaker 5: an overhand from the previous government as well, But it's
Speaker 5: just maybe if we just drove the busses, power them
Speaker 5: by green instead of saying how great we are, don't
Speaker 5: invite people to kind of you know, get in there
Speaker 5: and prove your eyes. I'm as clean and green and
Speaker 5: zero emissions as you can possibly get. Prove me wrong.
Speaker 2: And this is what I've always found amusing Liz about
Speaker 2: you know, people of course getting around with the with
Speaker 2: their electric cars, especially early adopters, saying that they're doing
Speaker 2: great things for the environment. But then they go home
Speaker 2: and plug them into the wall and fill up with coulfar.
Speaker 6: Is what I was thinking. This is what everyone with
Speaker 6: an EV.
Speaker 7: Does, unless you've got solar panels that you're like somehow
Speaker 7: storaging the energy throughout the day and then charging your
Speaker 7: vehicle at night.
Speaker 6: That's not green energy either. But ladies and gentlemen, this
Speaker 6: is the electric vehicle revolution.
Speaker 7: And they keep getting caught out time and time again
Speaker 7: using fossil fuels to charge these things.
Speaker 5: That's why we have to get rid of all our
Speaker 5: coal fire generation replace it with renewables. Thank you very much,
Speaker 5: great to have you on backup, would we we have.
Speaker 6: Oh my goodness for crying out loud?
Speaker 7: Well, Victorians, while you were sound asleep this morning, your
Speaker 7: government slapped a gag on your god given.
Speaker 6: Right to free speech. Yes, matters have.
Speaker 7: Gotten even worse for the state of free speech in
Speaker 7: our country thanks to the Victorians who did a last
Speaker 7: minute deal with their natural born bedfellows, the Greens, and
Speaker 7: got this god forsaken bill up in their parliament at
Speaker 7: four am while you were sleeping. Now, the existing protections
Speaker 7: against hate speech in Victoria were previously limited to matters
Speaker 7: of religion and race no more.
Speaker 6: They've now expanded them to include.
Speaker 7: Disability, gender ideology, sex and sexual orientation, and in a
Speaker 7: massive expansion from previous vilification offenses which were rarely prosecuted
Speaker 7: and carried a maximum penalty of six months. You're now
Speaker 7: looking at five years in the clink if you so
Speaker 7: much as post an offensive comment or photo online.
Speaker 6: We are going the way of the UK.
Speaker 7: And yet to listen to premiere of Victoria today announcing
Speaker 7: these drastic changes, which mean, well, what's left to say
Speaker 7: for you? If you're straight and if you're white? Good
Speaker 7: luck Victorians. Here she is announcing this is some incredible
Speaker 7: feat that she's actually tearing up about.
Speaker 8: Yay, Well, there the people I'll be thinking of today
Speaker 8: as we make this historic moment, as we pass this
Speaker 8: bill and have this historic moment not just for the
Speaker 8: statute books, for the Parliament, but for the whole of
Speaker 8: our Victorian community.
Speaker 7: For the whole of your Victorian community, really, because this
Speaker 7: sounds like it's all about minority groups and the vast
Speaker 7: majority of people just can't say what they want to
Speaker 7: say nowadays.
Speaker 6: Am I wrong? Am I alone?
Speaker 7: In thinking that, of course necessarily it was important to
Speaker 7: limit religious exemptions in this new revamped vilification laws in Victoria.
Speaker 6: And that's exactly what they did.
Speaker 7: They made sure that the bill was narrowed to prevent
Speaker 7: the vilification. So religious exemptions narrowed to prevent the vilification
Speaker 7: of I quote, LGBTIQIA plus and other marginalized groups. I
Speaker 7: don't know how many times it's got to be proven,
Speaker 7: and it has time and time again that the minute
Speaker 7: you start doing this and make protected species of minority groups,
Speaker 7: the majority gets resentful because you are crushing some people's
Speaker 7: rights for the perceived rights of others. As far as
Speaker 7: last I checked, we all had the same rights here
Speaker 7: in Australia. And as I've said at nauseum and will
Speaker 7: continue to say, hate speech is free speech. Free speech
Speaker 7: is hate speech. You either have both or you have neither,
Speaker 7: and I know which one I want. We're quote literally
Speaker 7: going the way of UK.
Speaker 6: It was just last month.
Speaker 7: Premier Mins said that we can't have free speech in
Speaker 7: New South Wales because we want to have a multicultural society.
Speaker 7: He literally, okay, direct quote for you, Joe, we don't
Speaker 7: I quote. We don't have the same freedom of speech
Speaker 7: laws that they have in the United States. And the
Speaker 7: reason for that is we want to hold together a
Speaker 7: multicultural community and have people live in peace. And mister Minns,
Speaker 7: you think you're going to accomplish that by silencing everybody
Speaker 7: else who doesn't belong to minority groups.
Speaker 6: It doesn't work.
Speaker 5: He says, we do not have the US Constitution and
Speaker 5: US Joe voted.
Speaker 7: To sacrifice our rights to free speech on the altar
Speaker 7: of multicultural.
Speaker 5: We do not have a right to free speech in Austria.
Speaker 5: That is the only observation he was making. There is
Speaker 5: no enshrined bill of rights in Australia. Some jurisdictions have
Speaker 5: recently done up their own, including Victoria, which that simply
Speaker 5: they simply, they simply don't exist. But but what he is
Speaker 5: saying is that historically we have not had a constitutional
Speaker 5: bill of rights like they do in the US, because
Speaker 5: we have a constitution that can be changed by parliament.
Speaker 5: We have a we have a system of government where
Speaker 5: parliament can change what rights citizens do and don't have.
Speaker 6: What you can and can't say on any given day.
Speaker 5: It's called the parliament. It makes laws.
Speaker 1: The issue is that we don't don't have.
Speaker 5: Chris means and it is just generous. He was talking
Speaker 5: about whether or not New South Wales should have a
Speaker 5: bill of rights that enshrines these things. That interesting thing
Speaker 5: about the.
Speaker 7: View, and he said we can't because of no, he said,
Speaker 7: we don't.
Speaker 6: Joe worked for work.
Speaker 5: Read out again said we don't have it, not be
Speaker 5: he said.
Speaker 7: Because because of our multicultural society.
Speaker 6: That's why we don't have it. That's why we can't
Speaker 6: have it.
Speaker 5: According to mister men, because Australia was designed to have
Speaker 5: a flexible constitution, should that adjusts to the needs of
Speaker 5: the society as the point now and.
Speaker 2: It's even a cases like Victoria where we don't have
Speaker 2: a right to free speech.
Speaker 1: I accept that.
Speaker 2: I don't think that there should be any bill of
Speaker 2: rights anywhere that says these rights belong to these people,
Speaker 2: these rights.
Speaker 1: Belong to these people.
Speaker 2: But what we are now seeing is that rights are
Speaker 2: being legislated, but they're just being legislated against the majority.
Speaker 1: So if you are lgbt IQ.
Speaker 2: Or you're disabled, or you belong to a minority race
Speaker 2: or whatever, you have the right not to be vilified.
Speaker 1: That has been legislated.
Speaker 2: So why why should it be up to the law
Speaker 2: to decide who should.
Speaker 1: And should not be allowed to be offensed? Total I totally,
Speaker 1: I totally.
Speaker 2: Agree that it should be illegal to go out and
Speaker 2: incite violence. I think we all are on board with that,
Speaker 2: But to vilify or offend someone is a very different.
Speaker 5: Price, and that is why in New South Wales and
Speaker 5: federally there was an incitement to violence. Similar things that
Speaker 5: were taken up as incitement to violence and the penalties
Speaker 5: for that were increased, but it didn't extend to all
Speaker 5: the other stuff. And this is where it gets really interesting.
Speaker 5: So all of this was done on the back of
Speaker 5: the outbreaks and anti semitism and anti Semitic graffiti and
Speaker 5: f the Jews and you know, you know, where are
Speaker 5: the Jews and all that stuff, and so it was
Speaker 5: all about the incitement advance and Victoria's sort of taken
Speaker 5: it up as Victoria's does, and then sort of throwing
Speaker 5: in all these other groups in there and protected them
Speaker 5: with the same things that were meant to be there
Speaker 5: initially to protect Jews. But the DPP they put in
Speaker 5: this exemption. Right, this is how the People's Republic of
Speaker 5: Victoria works. The DPP beliefs and the courts will also
Speaker 5: be forced to take into account, quote, the social, cultural,
Speaker 5: and historical circumstances that may lead to a person expressing contempt, revulsion,
Speaker 5: or severe ridicule against a minority group. So who do
Speaker 5: you think that's applying to y?
Speaker 1: Exactly?
Speaker 5: I'm sorry because of my cultural background. I'm allowed to
Speaker 5: disabled people. Because of my cultural background, I have to
Speaker 5: vilify gay people. Not sure that that's gonna worse because
Speaker 5: of my cultural background, I have to villify women, black people. No,
Speaker 5: it's going to be, of course, so that people who
Speaker 5: are from the middle age can continue.
Speaker 1: To go exactly, and that that is the problem, because.
Speaker 5: To be done for them.
Speaker 2: Someone has more right to be offensive in the state
Speaker 2: of Victoria than anyone else.
Speaker 1: It is a joke.
Speaker 2: And like you know, I made this argument when we
Speaker 2: talked about a freedom of religious discrimination bill as well.
Speaker 1: It's the same thing.
Speaker 2: When you start legislating one person's rights, you are necessarily
Speaker 2: legislating against someone else's rights because one person's rights always
Speaker 2: impinge upon someone else's if you don't go down the
Speaker 2: road of legislating them at all. We all have rights
Speaker 2: and we can all move on with our lives.
Speaker 6: And how low is the bar?
Speaker 7: Literally, according to this revamped verlification laws, the legal test
Speaker 7: applied to civil laws which kicking in June twenty twenty six.
Speaker 7: The criminal laws that they've revamped kicking this September, So
Speaker 7: get your skates on, Victorians. The legal test applied literally
Speaker 7: just asks whether a reasonable person with the protected attribute,
Speaker 7: with the protected attribute.
Speaker 6: Would find the conduct hateful.
Speaker 7: Not whether it's objectively hateful, whether we'd all be like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 7: well that's that's incitement to violence, that someone should do
Speaker 7: something about that. No, just if the person with the
Speaker 7: protected attribute. And how many times have we've seen certain
Speaker 7: people from certain backgrounds are very, very litigious, they can.
Speaker 5: Find reasonable, exactly reasonable.
Speaker 1: He is reasonable.
Speaker 7: Whether you incite hatred or make physical threats. Now, physical threats,
Speaker 7: that's a pretty clear cut. But inciting hatred, how is
Speaker 7: anyone supposed to know what will incite hatred in some
Speaker 7: whack jobs that could read their Facebook?
Speaker 2: And I know we talked last week about twenty three
Speaker 2: and Me, which is going bankrupt and they're selling off
Speaker 2: all the DNA, but I said I'd never do it.
Speaker 2: But I think maybe it's time I spat in the
Speaker 2: tube and discover that I do belong to some ethnic
Speaker 2: minority somewhere on the other side of the world, and
Speaker 2: then I have to.
Speaker 4: Go at this.
Speaker 2: I finally have my free speech right. What we're talking
Speaker 2: about different applications of the lore depending on whether you're
Speaker 2: gay or you're straight, or you black or you're brown
Speaker 2: or your white, et cetera. They tried to do this
Speaker 2: in the UK very recently. The Sentencing Council, which is
Speaker 2: basically the advisory body that tells judges how they should
Speaker 2: hand down their sentences in the UK, was about to
Speaker 2: bring in a whole bunch of rules this week that
Speaker 2: said if you are from an ethnic, cultural or faith minority,
Speaker 2: or you're under twenty five, or you're.
Speaker 1: A woman, you need a pre sentencing.
Speaker 2: Report before a judge hands down a sentence. Here's a
Speaker 2: report from gb News explaining exactly what this would do.
Speaker 9: Judges we pre sensing reports weren't necessary and if someone
Speaker 9: is of ethnic, cultural or faith minority, or a young
Speaker 9: person under twenty five, or a woman or a pregnant woman,
Speaker 9: there will get a special sensing report. Normally, those pre
Speaker 9: sensing reports do mean that the sentences is mitigated, that
Speaker 9: time is taken off for a jail term for example.
Speaker 2: I'm glad that they differentiate between women and pregnant women,
Speaker 2: because of course they're just completely different classes of people.
Speaker 2: But the idea here is that a pre sentencing report
Speaker 2: is done by an independent bureaucrat essentially and handed to
Speaker 2: the court, which goes into the life history of this
Speaker 2: person and basically speaks to why there are mitigating circumstances
Speaker 2: against whatever sentence might be handed out. And so what
Speaker 2: the Sentencing Council was saying is that if you come
Speaker 2: from a minority religion, or you're a woman, or you're young,
Speaker 2: or you come from an ethnic minority, that that is
Speaker 2: somehow mitigating circumstance against the crime you committed, and so
Speaker 2: you should be given a softer sentence. And of course
Speaker 2: who's not included in that White people and men, So
Speaker 2: presumably you get a harsher sentence because you don't happen
Speaker 2: to belong to a minority.
Speaker 1: So the key is Starma.
Speaker 2: Government, as you can imagine, took one look at this
Speaker 2: and said, hang on a minute, this doesn't quite make sense.
Speaker 1: This was Keir Starma last week.
Speaker 10: I'm disappointed in less response. And the Lord Chance is
Speaker 10: obviously continuing to engage on this, and we're considering our response,
Speaker 10: and you know, all options are on the table, but
Speaker 10: I am disappointed at this outcome.
Speaker 2: Now, all options on the table was emergency legislation that
Speaker 2: the government was threatening to put through that would.
Speaker 1: Stop this in its track.
Speaker 2: So the Sentencing Council has now overnight said we're going
Speaker 2: to step back from this. We're going to delay it,
Speaker 2: they say, in terms of bringing in these new rules.
Speaker 2: And you know, it's one thing to say they're going
Speaker 2: to delay it, but.
Speaker 1: Liz, the fact that it was even a thing in.
Speaker 2: The first place, the idea that they would and we've
Speaker 2: done it here in Australia with the Aboriginal people in
Speaker 2: some jurisdictions. But we say that because you belong to
Speaker 2: some sort of minority group, that you deserve to have
Speaker 2: a lighter sentence than someone who doesn't.
Speaker 1: Why And in.
Speaker 7: This case we're talking about convicted felons. These is the
Speaker 7: Sentencing Council of England and Wales. They are a NONDA
Speaker 7: departmental public body, otherwise known as a faithless bureaucracy. And
Speaker 7: they literally just announced that this is what they were doing,
Speaker 7: that everyone would get lighter sentencing than white males, that
Speaker 7: everybody else would get these little reports to the judge
Speaker 7: with relative sob stories being like, well, they're just so
Speaker 7: you can really understand why this person has committed the
Speaker 7: crime and why they shouldn't have to do the time
Speaker 7: that they would otherwise.
Speaker 6: Do except for white men.
Speaker 7: Specifically, this was literally targeting them.
Speaker 6: Everybody else you get not a free.
Speaker 7: Pass, but a lie to sentence if you're a white male,
Speaker 7: harsher sentencing for you. There was no other way to
Speaker 7: read this announcement, and so confident.
Speaker 6: Were they that this wouldn't be a problem, they just
Speaker 6: announced that it was happening. And I can't believe we're
Speaker 6: actually giving kids.
Speaker 7: Starba some credit for one, because I would have thought
Speaker 7: that he would have just filibusted his way through it
Speaker 7: and been like, yes, well these minority.
Speaker 5: Groups and they its very sensible. Moderately is not. This
Speaker 5: is fantastic, And frankly, as a black lesbian, I find
Speaker 5: no problem with these laws whatsoever. But I think you
Speaker 5: came close to to you, didn't you quite? There was
Speaker 5: an outrageous element in these laws because it talked about,
Speaker 5: as you say, transgender individuals, you know, gay people, cultural
Speaker 5: religious minorities, young offenders, women, and pregnant women. What about
Speaker 5: pregnant men.
Speaker 1: It's a good point.
Speaker 5: Have we learned nothing the past three years? So we
Speaker 5: learned nothing the past few years. The men can get
Speaker 5: pregnant two and they would be vulnerable under these new
Speaker 5: guidelines to the same penalties of the criminal justice system
Speaker 5: as every other run of the mill, straight white male.
Speaker 5: That is the real disgrace here, and I can't believe
Speaker 5: that no one has picked up on it.
Speaker 2: Well, it's obviously transferred to it's transphobic what they were trying.
Speaker 2: It's very transfer But how is this even the case?
Speaker 2: I mean, I thought we were all meant to be
Speaker 2: equal under the law.
Speaker 5: But how do these Surely we haven't. But if you are,
Speaker 5: if you're a defendant in these cases, or you're convicted,
Speaker 5: surely your lawyer makes that submission. Surely there are there
Speaker 5: are submissions for sentencing before any judge sentences anything, surely
Speaker 5: or are they just saying that the state should intercede
Speaker 5: on behalf of that?
Speaker 2: And that's that's the defendants of these precisings pre sentencing,
Speaker 2: so that thorts. It's just done by someone who's independent,
Speaker 2: and so they should be given more interest.
Speaker 5: So presumed like if a pregnant woman, like in all
Speaker 5: serious it does, if a pregnant woman is on the stand,
Speaker 5: obviously you would say, ah, your on a I'm pregnant,
Speaker 5: please don't send me to supermax. And then the judge
Speaker 5: presumably would say, okay, that's pretty. That's good to know. Thanks,
Speaker 5: that's good inform, that's good intt. This person was very poor.
Speaker 5: They stole packet of biscuits because they couldn't afford to eat.
Speaker 5: Because they're Irish. They're by people. By the way, can
Speaker 5: I just say talking about next the bloody freend I
Speaker 5: hate the French. It should be if there was, If
Speaker 5: there were, if this apply everybody except the French, I
Speaker 5: would endorse it wholeheartedly. I know need be made to
Speaker 5: suffer for what they've done. I know, but I would
Speaker 5: just like to point out, and I've been waiting to
Speaker 5: do this for a very very long time. You know,
Speaker 5: the first, you know, the first people who the evil
Speaker 5: British Empire colonized, it was the Irish. It was the Irish,
Speaker 5: my people. So I am actually the first.
Speaker 1: And you know you're one of the minorities, and you know.
Speaker 5: The center for slave trading in the Anglo Saxon period
Speaker 5: it was Dublin. It was Ireland again, my people. I am.
Speaker 5: I am a descendant unfinished colonized slaves, and I demand reparations.
Speaker 5: I'm never going to go to jail.
Speaker 6: We're a live man, Joe.
Speaker 7: So unfortunately, if things did get up, you'd be one
Speaker 7: of the time.
Speaker 2: I'm a was alcoholic man, exactly, You'll say it's an
Speaker 2: ethnic minority.
Speaker 5: That's right, I drink to forget.
Speaker 6: Oh my goodness.
Speaker 7: Well we haven't stopped talking about the Chinese deep sea
Speaker 7: research vessels just taking a cruise around Australia, probably just
Speaker 7: mapping out the ground down.
Speaker 6: There really really important info to.
Speaker 7: Know if things times turned tumultuous.
Speaker 6: Wouldn't you just love to.
Speaker 7: Know what our subs if we had any word doing
Speaker 7: where they would be. Well, if you're China, you won't
Speaker 7: have to wonder where to put yours because these guys
Speaker 7: are probably mapping as we speak. But China has come
Speaker 7: out and addressed this in their communist mouthpiece, The Global Times,
Speaker 7: which I love to read because you get their take
Speaker 7: on all of the incursions on Australia. It doesn't matter
Speaker 7: whether it's the economic terrorism tariffs. They have their side
Speaker 7: of the story and it is fascinating to read.
Speaker 6: And no less so in.
Speaker 7: This instance The Global Times read some Australian politicians just
Speaker 7: don't get it.
Speaker 6: They're referring to Dutton.
Speaker 7: They try to block the improvement of China Australian relations
Speaker 7: constantly spewing harmful rhetoric and hijacking the relationship only for
Speaker 7: their personal benefits. They have not spared the horses in
Speaker 7: praising Albanesi's handling of this city situation, while claiming that
Speaker 7: that Peter Dutton guy is quote beating the drums of
Speaker 7: You can just see Dutton with one of those drums
Speaker 7: strapped to his stomach, like going for it, helter skelter.
Speaker 5: Well he is, but he's beating them for Donald Trump.
Speaker 6: Indeed, indeed apparently so we're told.
Speaker 7: But my goodness, doesn't this just isn't this an own
Speaker 7: goal by the Chinese because nobody here in Australia is
Speaker 7: going to find this raving endorsement by the CCP of
Speaker 7: Albanesi a real vote winner about.
Speaker 2: Didn't effect him, didn't affect him last time, and of
Speaker 2: course it's not about the rest of Australia. They're sending
Speaker 2: a signal to the Chinese diaspora in Australia that you
Speaker 2: should vote for Albanesi because you know, naughty mister Dutton
Speaker 2: is not going to do nice things to you, which
Speaker 2: is exactly what they did to Scott Morris. And you
Speaker 2: saw particularly in Victoria and what was yes correct, which
Speaker 2: was your box heels and major.
Speaker 5: Three of the most marginal hold on the.
Speaker 2: Turned Labor because you know, the messaging was sent out
Speaker 2: and they send it out via we chat and whatever,
Speaker 2: and tell Chinese people you've got to vote labor because
Speaker 2: the liberals are against it.
Speaker 5: Everyone's been saying that, you know, anything is terribly soft
Speaker 5: and China terribly soft on China. I haven't seen Peter
Speaker 5: Dunton be particularly strident about China.
Speaker 2: But hang on on, your mate, Elbow is the Communist
Speaker 2: Party's choice.
Speaker 1: How do you defend that?
Speaker 5: No, I'm just saying that both leaders are being noticeably
Speaker 5: muted in their attacks on standing whatever.
Speaker 2: Beating the drums of wa, yeah, is muted.
Speaker 5: I'm not sure if you should take the Chinese Communist
Speaker 5: parties propaganda quite literally, but that is the Chinese Roman.
Speaker 2: Why would they be so worried? You're saying that that
Speaker 2: really hasn't said much, But why would they be so.
Speaker 6: Before? This is what I do.
Speaker 5: As quiet as a church mouse. So well, you know
Speaker 5: what does that tell you?
Speaker 1: Well, he's beating the drums of war apparently. But look,
Speaker 1: and this is the thing.
Speaker 2: They would love Elbow to stay there as PM because
Speaker 2: they get along with them or actually, you know, the
Speaker 2: handsome boy just sort of rolls over and doesn't do it. Well.
Speaker 5: I don't think what happened.
Speaker 1: Apparently the Chinese.
Speaker 5: I think I was the second Coming.
Speaker 9: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe maybe we were reading too much into it,
Speaker 2: and they just really enjoy when ALBINIZI pops over there
Speaker 2: and talks to G and co about you know, the
Speaker 2: cuteness of pandas and koalas and things. They just love
Speaker 2: getting together and having those far aside chat while we're
Speaker 2: talking about the opposition. Good bit of deflationary policy out
Speaker 2: of the coalition today, which is that if they win government,
Speaker 2: they would scrap Labour's car emissions targets.
Speaker 1: Now, the way all.
Speaker 2: Of this works is that a fine is slapped upon
Speaker 2: a car manufacturer if they sell too many cars that
Speaker 2: emit too much. In Australia, now it applies to the
Speaker 2: whole fleet. So it's not to say that you can't
Speaker 2: sell high emitting vehicles like a ute or an suv,
Speaker 2: et cetera. But the overall fleet can only have a
Speaker 2: certain number of emissions. So the idea is that a
Speaker 2: manufacturer will say, well, we've got to limit the number
Speaker 2: of utes we can sell, and we've got to sell
Speaker 2: more small cars in order to avoid the fine. By
Speaker 2: the way, they've essentially tried this out in the UK
Speaker 2: and at significant finds per vehicle, it's like twenty pounds
Speaker 2: or something per vehicle they are slapping on manufacturers over
Speaker 2: there if they go over their limits. So the car yards,
Speaker 2: the car yards in the UK have actually just sort
Speaker 2: of artificially shrunked the market and stopped selling vehicles all
Speaker 2: together because they can't actually sell the vehicles that people
Speaker 2: want to buy. And that is the problem with this
Speaker 2: idea because if you look at the top five cars
Speaker 2: in Australia, three of them are utes and the other
Speaker 2: two are SUVs. There are only two small cars in
Speaker 2: the top ten sales in Australia. So it's abundantly clear
Speaker 2: that the only thing that you would be able to
Speaker 2: do to get around this is to shrink the car
Speaker 2: market all together. And you know what that does. It
Speaker 2: makes cars more expensive. So the Libs have said we
Speaker 2: get rid of that, and fair enough.
Speaker 5: Joe, Yeah, look I think I mean, you've got to
Speaker 5: meet the market, don't you. You can't. A command economy
Speaker 5: just doesn't work. Otherwise we'd all be you know, lining
Speaker 5: up around our local system blargat for our daily potato.
Speaker 5: So I think you have to do that. I think
Speaker 5: we have to embrace hybrid. It is it is interesting
Speaker 5: that the market has shifted completely. I mean, I remember
Speaker 5: when the I think it was the Toyota Corolla was
Speaker 5: the number one most popular car in Australia, and I
Speaker 5: think the Mazda three was for a little bit as well,
Speaker 5: like tenny little zippy cars, and then everyone realized that,
Speaker 5: oh they just saw a Ford Ranger and they just said,
Speaker 5: oh I want that so highlights, Oh I want that,
Speaker 5: and you know you got it. So I think so
Speaker 5: I think you can get those kind of cars with
Speaker 5: hybrid engines and that is going to be the future.
Speaker 5: I know they talk about the electric all electric cars,
Speaker 5: like there's the f one point fifty is the new
Speaker 5: sort of forward pick up that's meant to be this
Speaker 5: amazing kind of thing, and it just it just doesn't
Speaker 5: stack up. It just doesn't work. And there's many issues
Speaker 5: with towering stuff. So I think Australia is always unlike Europe,
Speaker 5: Australia is always going to have range anxiety. We are
Speaker 5: always going to be an island continent, and so we
Speaker 5: are always going to need I think a car that
Speaker 5: people feel like, you know, they can can pare itself
Speaker 5: an electric most of the time. If push comes to shove,
Speaker 5: you've got the literal fuel in the tank to get
Speaker 5: you where you need to go, and you don't have
Speaker 5: to worry about finding a petrol electric charging station in
Speaker 5: the middle of the null board there, I.
Speaker 7: Think the libs could have been where guts ere here,
Speaker 7: Like why not just scrap the new vehicle emission standards
Speaker 7: all together?
Speaker 6: If you're not going to find people for falling.
Speaker 7: Short of said standards, just scrap them all together.
Speaker 6: You clearly do.
Speaker 7: Window have the little stickers on ten more like guidelines
Speaker 7: than actual rules.
Speaker 6: It's it loses the.
Speaker 5: Whole perposef rush out of Pirates of the Caribbean.
Speaker 6: Yes, it was, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 7: I'm glad somebody got it that was from Pirates of
Speaker 7: the Caribbean.
Speaker 6: Than sure, no.
Speaker 5: But it's like you have efficiency, but you don't get
Speaker 5: fined if it's a two star. But you can you can,
Speaker 5: if you can afford it, you can get it.
Speaker 2: But what is what is the point of the rules
Speaker 2: then all together? I mean it's like it's like mid zero.
Speaker 2: All everyone signed up to zero by twenty fifty, and
Speaker 2: they have certain targets they've got to meet by twenty thirty.
Speaker 2: And this is all being ratified at the UN. Most
Speaker 2: countries have signed up to it, and by the end
Speaker 2: of last year they all had to send in their
Speaker 2: submissions on how close were reaching the twenty thirty targets.
Speaker 2: And there were ten countries in the entire world that
Speaker 2: actually said in and said they get them, so just all.
Speaker 5: Of them were.
Speaker 2: Sweden does not make a mockery of the idea of
Speaker 2: the targets.
Speaker 1: No one's actually paying.
Speaker 5: Any saying a verbal contract isn't worth the paper it's
Speaker 5: printed a target that's not binding. What's the point of it?
Speaker 5: But again I suppose it's you know, it's a goal.
Speaker 5: It's aspirational. It can make you feel good if you
Speaker 5: get there. It's something you can show off about. It's
Speaker 5: like driving a Tesla. That is, until recently, it can
Speaker 5: you know. So people do do these things of their
Speaker 5: own court, and if they want to, that's great. Let
Speaker 5: them virtue signal, let them think they're saving the planet.
Speaker 5: Do you know I once drove a hydrogen powered car
Speaker 5: that was so smug that it actually inhaled dirty air
Speaker 5: from outside on the road and then purified it and
Speaker 5: then re emitted it back out the other side of
Speaker 5: It's amazing. It's like a high Undai thing. Wow, it's amazing,
Speaker 5: and it would tell you so by.
Speaker 6: Driving, you were quite literally saving the plan.
Speaker 5: Literally an electric dashboard like a computer like no no
Speaker 5: other car I've ever driven, I know most cars have electrictachabard.
Speaker 5: But it had a little computer in front of her,
Speaker 5: and as you were driving, it would tell you how
Speaker 5: many human lives, like how much how much they calculated
Speaker 5: how much oxygen the average human breathe in a day,
Speaker 5: And as you purified that much oxygen, another little sort
Speaker 5: of human figure would deadly serious, my goodness, rather livingly serious,
Speaker 5: because oh, look, you've kept seventeen humans alive.
Speaker 2: Like in a video game with the longer you play,
Speaker 2: the more health bars you get to.
Speaker 5: The longer last episode of The Simpsons where Marge falls
Speaker 5: in with the kind of you know, trendy celebrity set.
Speaker 5: And there's many celebrity sets. I drive a car powered
Speaker 5: entirely by my own sense of self satisfaction.
Speaker 1: You can just manage the.
Speaker 7: Kind of people that that would appeal to and well
Speaker 7: climbing out of their car after their day's work. Seventeen
Speaker 7: people I saved today, They wouldn't have had our Jennifer.
Speaker 5: That's right, sphyxiating people children in Africa flapping around like
Speaker 5: fish on the deck of a boat because I didn't
Speaker 5: drive my home.
Speaker 7: Diiye enough today, Valentine were spared today thanks to me.
Speaker 6: To the States. Now we're an explosive book.
Speaker 7: By the name of Flight Inside the Wildest Battle for
Speaker 7: the White House. Has all these Biden insiders squealing like
Speaker 7: pigs about the extent to which they knew that this
Speaker 7: guy was a senile old man being propped up by
Speaker 7: the Manhattan Project of pharmaceutical Products for the entirety of
Speaker 7: his rule and reign as President of the United States
Speaker 7: of America.
Speaker 6: Isn't it incredible?
Speaker 7: While he was still in the hot seat, and even
Speaker 7: after Kamala had taken over, they're insisting, no, no, no,
Speaker 7: the guys, the guy's fine, he can do the job.
Speaker 6: Nothing to see here. But now that there's a book.
Speaker 7: Deal and money to be made out of it, Oh.
Speaker 6: He was a walking to Zasta. Here's Fox News reporting.
Speaker 7: On this new book set for release this month, but
Speaker 7: obviously they've had a few leaks.
Speaker 11: In a new book, it says Democrats quietly began making
Speaker 11: contingency plans around him more than one year before November's election.
Speaker 11: The authors write, in hush hush talks, starting in twenty
Speaker 11: twenty three, officials gamed out Biden withdrawal scenarios.
Speaker 6: A grim addition to that, aids.
Speaker 11: To former Vice President Harris Quote, strategized around the possibility
Speaker 11: that Biden might die in office.
Speaker 6: They even thought he might carck it.
Speaker 7: That's how confident they were that this guy was on
Speaker 7: his last legs.
Speaker 6: If you are.
Speaker 7: Planning of funeral, you'd think, maybe this guy isn't up
Speaker 7: to the task.
Speaker 6: This book, for bits of.
Speaker 7: It that have been leaked and I've read, are all
Speaker 7: about how many times he would book in to get
Speaker 7: his makeup done because it needed an extortionate amount of
Speaker 7: makeup to make him look.
Speaker 6: Not corps like.
Speaker 7: But then he get his makeup done and cancel the
Speaker 7: day's appointments anyway, So he'd get his makeup done and
Speaker 7: then through his own man clear the diary not actually
Speaker 7: can't be bothered. I've got up, I've got my makeup done.
Speaker 6: That's it.
Speaker 5: They hed a.
Speaker 7: Toun of stories that are coming out already, and the
Speaker 7: book hasn't been released yet. I just I mean, you
Speaker 7: want to say funny, but at the same time absolutely tragic.
Speaker 1: Well, I thought it was curious.
Speaker 2: Of course, after he had that terrible debate and things
Speaker 2: sort of started going downhill, you could tell he almost
Speaker 2: had like the Donald Trump tan thing going on his
Speaker 2: next public appearance. He looked so dark, and I had wondered, like,
Speaker 2: have they sent him off for a fake ten? Because
Speaker 2: he looked so gormous and almost like dead at that debate.
Speaker 2: He was so pale.
Speaker 1: Have they sent him off for a fake ten? Or
Speaker 1: have they given him makeup? Or Yeah?
Speaker 2: But also it makes me wonder, and we were having
Speaker 2: this discussion when that really bad debate against Trump happened
Speaker 2: last year, was all of that orchestrated in order to
Speaker 2: send him out and make him look like a fool.
Speaker 1: If they were working that.
Speaker 2: Hard behind the scenes and they had little confidence he
Speaker 2: might even be able to get through his term, did
Speaker 2: they sort of put it all by the wayside before
Speaker 2: that debate and go, this is the way.
Speaker 1: That we'll move him.
Speaker 5: I wish that were true, but I honestly don't think
Speaker 5: that they are that smart. I think they clearly, despite
Speaker 5: all their hysteria about Donald Trump being a threat to
Speaker 5: the free world, they did not, between them have enough
Speaker 5: of a brain to actually put together the candidate who
Speaker 5: had the best chance of stopping him. The idea that
Speaker 5: you would wait until the last minute and then blow
Speaker 5: up Biden just to put in the candidate who performed worse.
Speaker 7: They knew he could have died out of day, they
Speaker 7: had to replace him.
Speaker 5: No, that they should have done it beforehand, like if
Speaker 5: they were going to they should have done it when
Speaker 5: there could have actually been a primary. Someone should have
Speaker 5: tapped him on the shoulder. No one obviously had the guts.
Speaker 5: They were all too busy sucking up to him. No
Speaker 5: one had the guts to actually tap him on the
Speaker 5: shoulder and tell him to go. They're obviously all those reports.
Speaker 5: They were trying to get Michelle Obama to do it.
Speaker 5: She didn't want to. But there's countless other you know,
Speaker 5: anyone but Carmala Harris, you know, would have had a
Speaker 5: real fighting shot of winning that election, especially if they
Speaker 5: weren't stupid enough to prosecute Donald Trump in the first play.
Speaker 5: But every time they just made the wrong decision, the
Speaker 5: wrong decision, the wrong decision, the wrong every fork in
Speaker 5: the road they took the wrong turn until they backed
Speaker 5: themselves into a dead end. And all they had was
Speaker 5: literally the guy from weekend at Bernie's and Krmala Harris,
Speaker 5: who frankly is probably not that much better than a corpse.
Speaker 2: No no, but because the thing is that if they
Speaker 2: just left him there and run again and he'd won,
Speaker 2: she would have been sickond in line anyway.
Speaker 5: So if he didn't run, either of.
Speaker 1: Them would have been up for it again.
Speaker 2: If you've got a bloke that you think is going
Speaker 2: to cark it, maybe you should just get him to Resigne.
Speaker 2: After the break, we'll get into the papers. The till candidate,
Speaker 2: of course, who was scored out making sexual comments to
Speaker 2: a young hairdresser, has been camp against sexual harassment.
Speaker 1: That more, after this.
Speaker 2: Interesting move by Anthony Alberizi. Tonight, of course, we know
Speaker 2: that tomorrow we're going to learn about the new tariff
Speaker 2: that Donald Trump is going to hand down on the
Speaker 2: front of the yours tomorrow, the day they have this
Speaker 2: as race to gain Trump bump, as you say.
Speaker 1: Liberation day.
Speaker 2: Well, who has the Prime Minister been having dinner with tonight.
Speaker 2: Take a look, it's another than one Greg Norman.
Speaker 5: And of course I'm whisperation.
Speaker 1: Is very close to Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: Is this a last ditch effort by Albow Joe to
Speaker 2: get Greg.
Speaker 1: To perhaps make some overtures to Trump.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well not last, but Greg Norman was always on
Speaker 5: the rollerdecks as soon as people have been saying to
Speaker 5: the PM, get Greg Norman on board. Greg Norman was
Speaker 5: instrumental in connecting Trump last time around with the government.
Speaker 5: Joe Hockey I think had to call Greg Norman to
Speaker 5: get Donald Trump's number so that Malcolm Turnble I think
Speaker 5: it was, then could give him a call. So it's
Speaker 5: so yeah, it's just an absolute no brainer Trump. You know,
Speaker 5: you've got when you're talking to Trump, you've got to
Speaker 5: speak his language. What does he love? He loves golf?
Speaker 5: Who does he love? He loves Greg Norman? What does
Speaker 5: Greg Norman do play golf. He's like he's like a
Speaker 5: kind of a Trump translator. Yeah, like Albanizer can talk
Speaker 5: into Greg Norman and then Greg Norman can talk to
Speaker 5: Donald Trump and Trump will understand.
Speaker 1: Card of pigs.
Speaker 2: The question why don't we just get rid of Kevin
Speaker 2: Rudd and make Greg Norman the ambassador that you wish.
Speaker 6: Here's got my vote.
Speaker 1: Let's get into some of the other stories. Oh god,
Speaker 1: we don't want to go there again.
Speaker 2: I'm Kevin from Queens saying that I'm here to help
Speaker 2: and he's a nice vova.
Speaker 1: He said all of that in that one speech.
Speaker 5: Sir sucker, the sausage six talk.
Speaker 1: I don't think that should go well with this story.
Speaker 1: Sex talk teals workplace vow.
Speaker 2: Of course you'd remember all of this breaking yesterday, but
Speaker 2: it says he now deal. Candidate Nicolette Boel, who is
Speaker 2: under fire, of course, for making a sexual remark to
Speaker 2: a teenage hairdresser, swore she would stand up against cases
Speaker 2: of sexual harassment in the workplace in a social media
Speaker 2: post three years ago. She apologized on Monday for the
Speaker 2: four attempted humor after telling the sale on worker that
Speaker 2: the hair wash she received was so good and I
Speaker 2: didn't even have to have sex with you. This post
Speaker 2: that she originally put up said everyone deserves to feel
Speaker 2: respected in their workplace and I'll do better, et cetera,
Speaker 2: et cetera, cetera. I mean, isn't it amazing that someone
Speaker 2: who says, and of course there are a teals, so
Speaker 2: they're holier than thou is here.
Speaker 1: I am standing up against.
Speaker 2: Sexual harassment, but it's okay when I do it, of glass.
Speaker 6: Honestly, this story just grossed me out.
Speaker 7: Like what average person thinks that that's an appropriate thing
Speaker 7: to say to a teenager who's.
Speaker 6: Simply done their job and washed your hair. And you're like, oh,
Speaker 6: that was so good.
Speaker 7: I didn't even have to have sex with you, like I.
Speaker 6: Enjoyed it so much. That is naturally, like normal.
Speaker 7: Person says that to someone thinking sort of thing I
Speaker 7: would say every day.
Speaker 5: No, this is the thing.
Speaker 6: You're running for parliament.
Speaker 7: If you were running, I think the problem words leave
Speaker 7: your man.
Speaker 5: The problem here is not that she made a sort
Speaker 5: of weird equipment. People say, like everyone knows weird. That
Speaker 5: is like the vault, where people reveal their deepest, darkest things.
Speaker 5: That they're often saucy, they're often, they're often body is
Speaker 5: often boughty. Humor happens all the time I've worked in television.
Speaker 5: People talk about the most personal, intimate things. And yes,
Speaker 5: maybe she was being overly stranger, Maybe maybe she was
Speaker 5: being overly familiar, and it was an adult you know
Speaker 5: it was night he was a teenager, but it was
Speaker 5: an adult, so it's not someone who is underage. But again, the.
Speaker 6: Only way in which it could be worse wasn't a child.
Speaker 5: No, no. But the thing is that I find what
Speaker 5: is what is nauseating about this is that the teals
Speaker 5: are so holier than thou, judgmental of absolute everybody else,
Speaker 5: including not just you know, campaigning in the workplace, but
Speaker 5: having to tell everybody how you took us down to
Speaker 5: gainst sexual harassment, because of course it doesn't count unless
Speaker 5: it's on social media. So thanks for telling everyone what
Speaker 5: a fearless and you know, fear us and righteous campaigner
Speaker 5: and crusader, you are the god. But of course everybody
Speaker 5: does that. Now she's got a case of her own medicine,
Speaker 5: and I think that is the real That is the
Speaker 5: real crime here. I think the hysteria over the line,
Speaker 5: the one line that she said that was reported I
Speaker 5: think from another I'm not even sure if it was
Speaker 5: the person she said it to her complained, but it
Speaker 5: was someone else or the husband of someone else in
Speaker 5: the shop that saw it and complain.
Speaker 2: I do wonder if there's something else to it as well,
Speaker 2: because she was banned from the hairshelm, which seems an
Speaker 2: extraordinary thing to do, but I just want to know
Speaker 2: which seal on it is, because my god, if.
Speaker 1: The hair wash is that good, I think I'd better
Speaker 1: go along for it.
Speaker 2: I'll have the story on the front of the Odds tomorrow.
Speaker 1: No work syllabus for us, says schools.
Speaker 2: Catholic schools have cooled for the ideological National Curriculum to
Speaker 2: be abolished as new research reveals more boys are slipping
Speaker 2: behind girls in their academic performance. New South Wales Catholic
Speaker 2: Schools Chief Executive Dallas McKinney says every Australian school should
Speaker 2: be able to use the newly released New South Wales
Speaker 2: syllabus instead. Curriculum and education quote should be about enlightenment,
Speaker 2: not indoctrination, he told The Australian, And bang on there,
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 5: Joan good on your dais Macannonie love, Dallas love the Catholics,
Speaker 5: go go go? Are you a good thing? Now? Another
Speaker 5: thing I love? A little newspaper called the Daily Telegraph,
Speaker 5: a little newspaper that could and it has an amazing story.
Speaker 5: And this just breaks my heart on so many levels,
Speaker 5: but possibly not just my heart because these things move, okay,
Speaker 5: door dash debarkle. No, it doesn't mean that your kebab
Speaker 5: came twenty minutes late after you're ordered it on the app.
Speaker 5: How doors were locked open on speeding metro full of
Speaker 5: passengers reigniting Union Moore State in federal authorities last night
Speaker 5: trying to establish how the doors of a speeding Metro
Speaker 5: carriage locked open during a packed morning commute. The potentially
Speaker 5: catastrophic fault I potentially on the twenty one billion dollar
Speaker 5: Metro left terrified passengers just a couple of meters from
Speaker 5: disaster as the train hurtled along ninety nine kilometers an
Speaker 5: hour between Chatswood and Crow's Nest yesterday morning. I don't
Speaker 5: know if you guys have been on the Metro freaking
Speaker 5: it is just it's amazing and it goes amazingly fast.
Speaker 5: It's like being on a roller coaster. Like for people
Speaker 5: to say they are driverless.
Speaker 2: This is this is the vision here of the doors
Speaker 2: wide open.
Speaker 5: That's right, and that is just.
Speaker 6: Like I love how no breaking out.
Speaker 5: Everyone is silently freaking out. I mean it is again
Speaker 5: they go.
Speaker 6: So they easily gone into another carriage.
Speaker 5: No, no, no, because it's one long thing. Yeah, it's
Speaker 5: one long thing. I think all the doors were open.
Speaker 7: Well, I mean they could have walked away from the door, like,
Speaker 7: oh yeah, a bit of breeze on my face.
Speaker 6: Why not?
Speaker 5: I like the guys who are standing next to the door.
Speaker 5: They got chicks watching all the time.
Speaker 2: My favorite detail of that, apart from just have cases
Speaker 2: that can even happen in the first place, is that
Speaker 2: there's signs above the doors on the Metro and they
Speaker 2: show you normally what the next station is going to be, and.
Speaker 1: Aboff the door that was wlade open.
Speaker 2: It said this door is not working.
Speaker 6: So nobody can begin doubt.
Speaker 7: Crug page of The Herald's sun Now going easy on Evil.
Speaker 7: The Splash reads exclusive Hottle Street mass murderer wins softer
Speaker 7: conditions amid prison bed short edge.
Speaker 6: Hottle Street killer.
Speaker 7: Julian Knight is set to be moved to a medium
Speaker 7: security prison for the first time in almost forty years.
Speaker 7: The mass murderer killed seven people and injured nineteen and
Speaker 7: one of the nation's worst massacres in Melbourne in nineteen
Speaker 7: eighty seven. He's among several notorious in It's winning classification
Speaker 7: downgrades as authorities make space in high security jails to
Speaker 7: accommodate more remand prisoners due to bail law changes.
Speaker 5: My goodness, Victoria just could not get it more broken.
Speaker 7: And you guys think that you're going to lock up
Speaker 7: people for five years for a hurty Facebook post?
Speaker 6: Where are you going to find the room in your prisons?
Speaker 6: People crying out about build more prisons.
Speaker 1: You do not build more.
Speaker 6: Prisons for the people writing hurting comments on.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, But but if it's at the point where
Speaker 2: you've got to move you know, the worst killers in
Speaker 2: Victoria out of the place into a lower security prison
Speaker 2: because you don't have enough for beds, build some prisons.
Speaker 2: I mean the Victorian government wants to spend their money
Speaker 2: on every other bloody road project today.
Speaker 5: Build prisons.
Speaker 2: You need money, well, perhaps just don't spend it all
Speaker 2: on the suburban railroad.
Speaker 1: Very quickly before we get to a break. How good
Speaker 1: is this actually not?
Speaker 2: It's a good photo on the front of the Cans post,
Speaker 2: Hey kids run. Stunning pictures have revealed the presence of
Speaker 2: a saltwater crocodile at a lake in Canns North, raising
Speaker 2: concerns about how close it is to a children's playground.
Speaker 2: Well if you don't really like your kid they're mucking
Speaker 2: up a bit, you can just threaten to take them down.
Speaker 5: To that playground, right, oh, Joe Hey, try to slide kids.
Speaker 7: Woo errentship with Joe Hid a slide straight CROs mouth.
Speaker 1: He'd be having a wonderful time, wouldn't he.
Speaker 2: After the break, the Lips would come up with a
Speaker 2: your genius way to stop their core fridge being stolen
Speaker 2: by Monique Ryan in Kuyong.
Speaker 1: We'll show you how after this. Tell you what.
Speaker 2: This bloke must have been clogged up to high heaven
Speaker 2: because he just spoke for twenty five hours and four
Speaker 2: minutes in the United States. He broke the record for
Speaker 2: the longest speech ever given in the US Senate. It
Speaker 2: was previously held sorry by strom Thurmond, who spoke against
Speaker 2: the Civil Rights Act of nineteen fifty seven South Carolina
Speaker 2: Senate for.
Speaker 1: Twenty four hours and eighteen minutes.
Speaker 2: And Corey Booker was so upset with the way the
Speaker 2: Trump administration has been going and all the efficiencies that
Speaker 2: Elon Musk has been finding that he said, no, I've
Speaker 2: got to beat this twenty four minutes without a toilet break.
Speaker 1: Take a look, I.
Speaker 12: Won't stand for the collective of thoughts on the Constitution
Speaker 12: by a man who even the highest judge in our
Speaker 12: land are Republican appointed judge said, stop threatening and bullying.
Speaker 1: Other branches of government.
Speaker 5: When is it going to be enough?
Speaker 12: My voice is inadequate, My.
Speaker 1: Efforts today are inadequate.
Speaker 2: I mean, imagine going to all the effort of breaking
Speaker 2: the record and then admitting that your.
Speaker 1: Efforts are inadequate.
Speaker 2: But by the look of his eyes, I think he
Speaker 2: must have been on something to help him get the condrols.
Speaker 5: I would be on the cardros by then. But I
Speaker 5: just don't like I just don't understand, Like I just
Speaker 5: don't understand, Like, okay, so yeah, what does that change
Speaker 5: with your gene? You feel better now?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 5: How has that made Trump less popular? How does that
Speaker 5: help you get a better strategy at beating him? In
Speaker 5: twenty twenty eight? Who have you impressed? I mean, all
Speaker 5: you've done is take the record away from an ahole
Speaker 5: who tried to block the Civil Rights Act in nineteen
Speaker 5: fifty seven and strong theam and who is notorious for it.
Speaker 5: And now you're in the record books as well for
