WEBVTT - Paul Murray Live | 27 June 0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:07.480 From the Skying Center. This is Paul Murray Live. Thank you, Sharry. 0:00:07.560 --> 0:00:09.440 Look what she's actually doing is she's going to every 0:00:09.440 --> 0:00:10.479 disney Land in the world. 0:00:10.560 --> 0:00:12.440 It'll take her three weeks, but all the puddles will 0:00:12.440 --> 0:00:14.840 be here, and when Sharry's back will celebrating. Enjoy your breakdown. 0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:18.360 All right, Lots to get to tonight, including a before 0:00:18.400 --> 0:00:21.160 we get to all the obvious. Remember a couple of 0:00:21.239 --> 0:00:23.120 years ago, we're all told to go to our rooms 0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:24.959 by our government, and a lot of people did and 0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:26.759 they were all fine with it. Well, there was, of course, 0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:30.280 the absurdity that people were fighting over toilet paper. 0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:33.519 I want my ten roles, No, I want forty roles. 0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:36.240 Now I'm buying a week's supply. I'm buying a month's supply. 0:00:36.600 --> 0:00:38.120 How deg are that bloody person? 0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:40.800 And yes, I, like many of you, had to go 0:00:40.880 --> 0:00:48.320 from supermarket to supermarket on bloody opening birds because oh 0:00:48.440 --> 0:00:50.839 we're running out of too roll. Remember the nonsense of 0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:57.280 the toilet paper. Well, tonight, eggs are the new toilet paper, because, 0:00:57.320 --> 0:00:58.600 as you may have heard, there's. 0:00:58.400 --> 0:00:59.960 A little bit of trouble overseas. 0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:03.480 There's a couple of places on the fringes of our 0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:06.080 cities that are starting to cause trouble. But people are 0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:10.039 now going nutty and are buying too many eggs, so 0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:14.319 much so that the major supermarkets have now decided that's it, 0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:17.240 we are going to limit the amount of eggs you 0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:18.400 can buy. 0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:21.559 Yes, apparently it's the height of World War two. 0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:26.280 Apparently we're rationing things now and as a precaution, according 0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:29.800 to Woolies, to manage its stock delay, we're introducing a 0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:33.000 two pack purchase limit on eggs. 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:36.319 You said, whiles I see t Victoria. 0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:39.479 Will people cross the border into Queensland to get extra ones? 0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:46.360 Will people smuggle them on flights from Adelaide? Will there 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:48.680 be a hard border between Western Australia and the rest 0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:49.720 of the country about eggs? 0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:50.320 Who knows? 0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:53.400 But right now the majority of our customers are only 0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:55.400 buying one carton of egg at a time, So that's good. 0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:57.040 You don't have to change. 0:01:57.240 --> 0:01:59.520 But clearly they've put a limit in place because people 0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:03.000 lose it's their brain. It's a little bit like you know, 0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:05.360 before a public holiday when for some reason the shops 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:07.320 are going to be close for one day, but people 0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:08.600 are stocking up as if it's. 0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:09.680 The end of the world. 0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:14.040 They encourage shoppers to be mindful and make sure that 0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:16.239 you only buy what you'd normally buy. 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:17.320 They're not the only ones. 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:21.960 Coals have also told us that the band extends there 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:25.640 where they've limited the amount of eggs. So we've sort 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:30.360 of seen that when there's something to worry about, sometimes 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:34.600 we overreact to control the things we can't control, like 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:37.240 toilet paper or the amount of eggs, or get out 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:41.000 of my way, I'm getting the water. Well, if you 0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:45.520 are the type of person who is worried easily, I'd 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:50.760 like to tell you remain calm. But there's an asteroid 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:56.360 that's heading our way. Now, apparently it'll pass by about 0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:59.280 two hundred and fifty thousand kilometers. But this thing is 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:04.080 apparently the science of Mount Everest, So Cole's Woolly's aldi. 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:05.960 They may turn around, and I know what they're gonna 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:08.959 limit and how people are going to prepare for the asteroid, 0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:11.360 But that could be on its way, and in fact, 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:16.799 there's apparently an even more concerning asteroid that is headed 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:19.680 our way. Why do I know, because I've got this 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:21.840 clip from Canadian News. 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:26.880 In about five and a half years, a massive asteroid 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:31.000 name Apofas, after the Egyptian god of chaos will pass 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:33.680 so close to the Earth we'll be able to see 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:37.440 it in the sky. And that has NASA scientists on 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:38.200 high alert. 0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:45.800 Ah, quick bite the eggs, the toilet paper, because this 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:47.480 thing's going to come rather close. 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:49.560 It's not going to hit us, apparently, but you know, 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:50.600 science and stuff. 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:54.960 Now, I'm pleased to say that NASA is on this, 0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:58.120 but the emotions are pretty high at NASA. 0:03:58.520 --> 0:03:59.200 Listen to this. 0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:05.200 Guy absolutely not freaking out and being very calm. 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:07.320 But listen to what he's talking about. 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:10.160 We want to be able to get a spacecraft out 0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:15.440 there weeks two months to get a look at Apathas 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:21.920 before that close encounter. We're going to send a spacecraft 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:26.480 to knock it off its trajectory, just in case it's 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:27.640 getting too close to us. 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:32.040 Again, we panic about eggs and toilet paper. 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:35.240 What will happen when we learn that they've sent a 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:39.080 spacecraft to go and knock an asteroid out of the way. 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:43.760 To knock a asteroid out of the way, well, amazingly, 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:46.960 you know that actually already done this. Who knew this 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:50.240 is American taxpayers dollars at work. But thankfully they still 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:52.720 spend money on this as opposed to what we spend 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:56.600 money on, like two new planes for the Prime Minister. 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:02.800 Two years ago, the double Asteroid Redirection test, known as 0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:06.760 the Dark Spacecraft smashed into an asteroid to knock a 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:12.320 massive space rock off its gravitational course and it worked. 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:15.480 Oh that's a pretty big deal for all of us 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:18.039 on Earth. Now. 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:20.719 I'd love to play Aerosmith's Don't Miss a Thing right now, 0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:23.440 which of course was the song that they played after 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:26.080 Bruce Willis and the rest of them were able to 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:26.960 save the Earth. 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:28.760 But we don't have the budget. 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:32.479 So just imagine that a really boring series of scientists 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:36.880 will head out weeks or months before an event which 0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:41.599 could well have some consequences on the Earth, and they'll 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:44.520 just politely not shoot it, not blow it away, just 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:50.680 push it out of the way. Now, Labor and Peace, 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:54.520 I've got to say, while I disagree on many of 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:59.680 their issues, I certainly admire their discipline to even argue 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:04.120 against reality at times, but always argue in unison. I mean, look, 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:08.440 obviously not always Like this week, that lady crossed the 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:11.599 floor against her own government, of fact, the first person 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:14.120 since nineteen eighty eight to do so. And remember she 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:18.080 got so punished. Remember not allowed to go to one meeting. Well, 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:20.760 Penny Wong, well remember one of the mean girls. Well 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:23.200 she was waving her finger on Telly here today, wasn't 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:24.760 she right? 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:27.160 Well, it's from Minista, as I said, has sean great 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:30.000 restraint on this occasion. He has directed that she not 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:34.800 attend the caucus. What I would say to is that 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:37.839 our expectation and the expectation of her colleagues is that 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:41.520 senator payment abide by the collective solidaria. So if it 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:45.440 happened again, well, our expectation is that she observed the 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:48.400 solidarity that all labor people bring to their position. 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:51.280 The Greats are promising to put in another vote, which 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:52.960 of course will test all of this system again. The 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:54.640 Labor Party, well, they don't want to boot her out 0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:57.760 because they firstly create a political martyr, but secondly the 0:06:57.800 --> 0:06:59.800 numbers get a little more uncertain in the Senate, and 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:02.960 of course they could end up pushing Muslim votes towards 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:08.719 the Greens. And I wish that the collective brain of 0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:10.960 our media and certainly the people who are running our 0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:13.600 country were just as in range and just focused on 0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:16.800 the issue that actually is worrying Australians, and that's not 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:19.560 a media rite. It's not toilet paper, and it's not eggs. 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:22.600 It's the overall cost of living. Doesn't matter when it 0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:24.520 comes to a pole or anything else. We know there 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:26.120 are so many lies and we're in the middle of 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:28.760 a crisis right now. The reality, as you know, is 0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:31.600 that australis inflation rate and this is not based over 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:34.040 the three months, but over one of the three months 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:36.520 that puts together. The overall number has now gone up 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:39.840 to four percent. As we showed you last night. These 0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:42.800 are all the things above four percent that make that 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:48.160 number particularly difficult to move. Tobacco at thirteen percent, petrol 0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:52.720 at nine point three, insurance rents, alcohol, electricity which was 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:56.480 apparently falling but apparently no is still going up by 0:07:56.760 --> 0:08:00.720 higher than the average inflation rate. The same with health, house, education, 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:03.640 new housing for people to live in, transport and fruit 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:05.600 and veg, all of it up and up, up, up, 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:08.760 and all of it way above where the Reserve Bank 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:10.600 needs things to be. And that of course is between 0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:13.360 two and three percent, not three and four, not four 0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:16.400 and five. And hence why the Liberal Party was asking 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:20.760 the questions they did today in question time Prime Minister, 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:23.360 why do Australians have to live in fear of yet 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:26.680 another rate rise under this hopeless government. Why are Australian 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:30.080 families paying the price for Labour's economic failures? 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:30.800 Prime Minister? 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:35.960 Why are Australian families paying the price for Labour's economic incompetence? 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:37.679 Fair question? 0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:40.439 What are the consequences, of course, of ongoing high inflation 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:42.880 that is not between two and three percent, not three 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:44.560 to four, not four to five. It has to be 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:46.839 two and three is that is what the Reserve Bank 0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:48.600 seedes as the only band that we should have for 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:50.960 a good economy and for the country working at just 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:53.480 the right the sort of Goldilocks number. This is way 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:56.040 too high, which of course means interest rates. I'll get 0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:56.920 to that in a second. 0:08:57.520 --> 0:08:59.640 But back to why I admire the Labor. 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:02.520 Party some times, and I facetiously say that why I 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:05.200 admire the Labor Party arguing that down is up and 0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:08.120 up is down and you can't see what your lying 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:10.679 eyes are telling you is because when they go out 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:14.040 on television, they are out there today telling us that 0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:17.320 after inflation has started to go back up is a 0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:21.040 full percent above the upper limit of where the Reserve 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:25.559 Bank will accept. They are out and about saying look, 0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:26.960 how good we're going. 0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:32.880 So inflation has come down a lot, it's absolutely true 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:35.360 that it has got further to go, and that's why 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:39.800 the government's plan to deliver a prudent budget surplus to 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:44.160 pursue fiscal discipline is the right path to help families. 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:48.920 We're doing a good job. Patting themselves on the back now. 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:50.880 Of course that's easy for him to say, because if 0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:53.600 times get tough, he could sell one of many properties, 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:56.679 apparently a property portfolio with forty two million dollars. Good 0:09:56.760 --> 0:09:58.880 self made man, Good luck to it. But I'm not 0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:01.800 really going to be taking my Hey, it's okay from 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:04.800 the bloke who's absolutely dripping in cash litt alone any 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:07.600 other politician, because let's say it all together. They got 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:10.680 a pay rise. They got a pay rise last week, 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:14.040 which is the third since Labour came to power. The 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:18.080 PM now earning six hundred thousand dollars. So despite the 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:20.160 fact that he's got two new planes, he's got a 0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:23.000 mansion in Sydney, he's got a mansion in Canberra, and 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:26.400 he's paid six hundred thousand dollars, here's the Prime Minister 0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:30.000 telling you inflation going back up to a full percentage 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:32.679 point higher than what the Reserve Bank is trying to 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:36.240 achieve with the dozen interest rate rises since he became 0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:36.880 Prime Minister. 0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:37.920 Here's the spin. 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:43.400 Australia has faster economic growth than Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:46.120 and the UK. In the G seven, we have a 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:49.680 lower unemployment rate than Canada, trans Italy. In the UK, 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:55.120 we have faster employment growth than Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, 0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:58.599 the US and the UK. We have a higher participation 0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:03.240 rate France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the US and the UK. 0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:09.480 And Australia is the only only one with a budget 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:13.000 surpas along with the smallest gross step. 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:16.680 Hang on the gross debt. 0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:18.439 Remember was the reason to change the government, which was 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:21.559 the trillion dollars. The gross debt will go to one 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:26.000 point two trillion dollars within the four estimates of this 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:29.120 federal budget. When they talk about economic growth, Australia is 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:34.160 growing at zero point one percent zero point one percent, 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:39.480 But the question is inflation. Inflation at four percent is 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:42.000 higher than what the Reserve Bank is demanding. And let's 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:47.640 compare Australia's inflation rate with the rest of the world. Now, 0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:57.240 not Zimbabwe, not Argentina, but countries that have a lower 0:11:57.240 --> 0:12:01.720 inflation rate than as you can see on your screen, Brazil, Spain, 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:05.520 the United States, where they will probably get rid of 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:10.200 the current president because of inflation, their rate is lower 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:18.120 than ours. Singapore, Canada is under three percent. Indonesia, Japan, 0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:24.200 the Netherlands, South Korea and Germany are all in the twos, 0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:27.600 as is France. And in the United Kingdom, where they 0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:29.320 are about to get rid of their government in part 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:32.280 because of the cost of living, their inflation rate is 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:35.400 half that of ours. 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:38.000 Oh but it's okay. 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:41.320 Twenty five dollars a month credit is coming to everyone 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:44.800 from the people who own mangins to one bedroom units in. 0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:48.760 The bush to help with power bills, and. 0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:52.200 Of course two little too late tax cuts the average 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:56.160 fifteen dollars a week. As we've spoken about before, the 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:57.920 best spin the government can put on it is it's 0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:00.960 about thirty something dollars. None of it touch as, none 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:03.200 of it changes because all of those things are going 0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:07.600 up and they are now starting to speed up their 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:09.959 race to the top. Now, are we going to go 0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:12.800 back where we were a couple of years ago. No, However, 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:15.480 for the government to turn around and say, as they did, 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:18.679 our budget will do nothing when it comes to inflation. Well, 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:21.959 the mere announcement of their budget in May compared to 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:25.679 when it kicks in on the first of July has 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:29.160 seen inflation go back up, let alone when the actual 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:33.200 money starts moving around. So what are we being told 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:38.000 in the Financial Review? Multiple interest rate rises are the 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:43.280 only way to push it back down, back down to three, 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:50.160 back down to two and a half. Also the Australian today, 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:54.240 the RBA has no option but to raise rates in August, 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:59.160 and the Libs know this is the issue. Forget everything else, 0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:01.800 This is the issue that matters the most. 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:05.600 Two Australians. Here's an MP Zoey Mackenzie on Telly today. 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:08.760 We know that the budget has been inflationary. We know 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:11.080 this government has put three hundred and fifteen billion dollars 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:13.640 of extra spending into the government. We know core inflation 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:15.280 is at four point four percent, which is what the 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:16.160 RBA looks at. 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:17.040 We know that. 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:20.040 Inflation rate is high than the US, Canada, France, Sweden, 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:24.160 the UK, Norway. How much more congratulations would they be 0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:25.240 asking for on no. 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:27.640 Basis whatsoever sounds that rates to go out. 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:29.000 It sounds like crazy to going out. Most people ask 0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:30.800 me to you a surprise. They didn't go up last time, 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:33.160 so all eyes will be on August in terms of 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:34.120 whether they go up again. 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:37.440 Now, remember the Reserve Bank had a conversation. It wasn't 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:39.400 about cutting rates, it was maybe about putting them up. 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:42.840 These numbers means the pressure on them making that decision. 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:45.920 So the government can spin it anyway it wants the reality. 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:49.600 We are in a tough spot which is not getting better. 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:52.200 In fact, it's getting worse. And you can tell me 0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:55.480 is many labor mp millionaires or people that are getting 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:58.840 pay rise. Everything's okay, it ain't now, I like you, 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:01.640 I've had enough of the in assane chat. As you know, 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:03.120 I'm not going to get involved in the good guy 0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:04.960 the bad guy thing. But you may have heard his 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:07.960 return to Australia. Yes, last night our show was taken 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:10.760 over by press conferences and all the rest of it. 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:14.000 But as you know, Anthony Alberanesi is well and truly 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:19.120 washing himself in lefty joy. As he was on the 0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:21.880 phone and tweeting out pictures as he's talking to him. 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:24.440 There was a press conference that he was holding. As 0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:28.160 he was walking off the plane, he was talking it 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:31.480 up in Parliament yesterday. 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:33.520 But despite the. 0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:38.600 Fact that all of those things happened, the Camber Press Gallery, 0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:42.520 or at least one of its members, says albany Assane, 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:48.680 hero or villain either way, Albanesi is keeping his distance. Sorry, 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:53.560 he's taking photos of himself on the phone, he's doing 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:58.280 nighttime press conferences, he's got the chest puffed out in 0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:01.880 question time, and he's standing to the ovations of Radio 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:08.560 National Fair Dincon. But what I thought was very important 0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:11.440 to point out to mine was don't fall for this 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:15.280 garbage that albow is some sort of information freedom fighter, 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:19.920 that he's a transparent figure who is okay with the 0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:24.000 most uncomfortable information being brought out, no matter what a 0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:27.440 government actually says. We've shown you how many times about 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:31.200 the actual attitude of transparency that this bloke and this 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:34.000 government has. When you ask for documents, you get a 0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:36.560 whole bunch of redacted, a whole bunch of questions just 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:39.880 don't get answered. Remember we showed you the playbook about 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:45.320 how politicians and their public servants, which one is the master, 0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:48.400 which one's the puppy, your choice, well, about how to 0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:51.840 answer questions or not answer questions in Senate estimates. But 0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:54.840 something a little more serious than that. I want to 0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:57.600 show you this bloke. His name is David McBride, and 0:16:57.720 --> 0:17:04.840 David McBride was a military lawyer. Now, he discovered documents 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:10.840 that led to nationwide reporting of potential, if not proven, 0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:14.280 but let's say, potential war crimes that were taking place. 0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:18.919 This is the explanation via Channel two where he was 0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:21.479 found guilty and is currently in jail. 0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:26.640 Former military lawyer David McBride has been sentenced to five 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:29.720 years and eight months jail in the set Supreme Court 0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:34.560 for sharon classified military documents with journalists. Mcbrideple died guilty 0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:37.880 to three charges, including theft and sharing more than two 0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:41.920 hundred documents classified as secret with members of the press. 0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:45.720 Now, this prosecution had been in train for some time, 0:17:45.800 --> 0:17:48.600 but obviously this government has been around for two years. 0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:50.760 There were multiple. 0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:55.000 Times that McBride and his supporters appealed to the Attorney 0:17:55.040 --> 0:17:59.119 General Mark Dreyfuss to drop the charges to stop the prosecution. 0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:01.520 Yet Drefus said, oh no, it's only under the most 0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:08.640 extreme circumstances that I'm going to be allowed to do so. 0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:13.520 So this government made a decision that information that the 0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:17.960 whistleblower believed the world should know because it was the 0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:25.280 apparent war crimes that were being committed in places like Afghanistan. 0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:30.520 That person is currently in jail now. Whether you think 0:18:30.520 --> 0:18:34.080 they should or shouldn't, that's beside the point. My point 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:37.040 is that Albo is out there pretending that he's you know, 0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:40.000 the Wikileak's best friend and Assange's best friend and on 0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:42.920 the phone and living in the glory of the guy 0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:47.520 who tells the uncomfortable secrets. But a person who told 0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:53.600 uncomfortable secrets about our country has been prosecuted by this 0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:59.520 government that turned away from dropping a prosecution. That bloke 0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:05.320 is in jail now for multiple years because this government 0:19:05.400 --> 0:19:11.080 decided that those secrets must be kept held tight, regardless 0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:14.959 of the public's quote unquote right to know, or how 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:17.600 many awards came out of the reporting that the documents 0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:21.960 were based off. And as Andrew Wilkie, who remember was 0:19:22.000 --> 0:19:25.160 a whistleblower himself, giving information to the then Channel nine 0:19:25.640 --> 0:19:30.000 News reporter Lourie Oakes. He made this point upon the 0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:31.720 jailing of McBride. 0:19:32.600 --> 0:19:35.480 The first Australian to front of court and the first 0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:39.080 Australian to go to jail over the alleged war crimes 0:19:39.080 --> 0:19:43.520 in Afghanistan. Is the whistleblower that brought the allegations to 0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:47.080 the public's attention. And I'll tell you why the governments 0:19:47.080 --> 0:19:51.560 behaved this way, because governments, be they LNP or labor, 0:19:51.920 --> 0:19:56.280 they hate whistleblowers, They hate people speaking up, they hate 0:19:56.280 --> 0:19:59.120 people shining a light on official misconduct. 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:02.560 So when it comes to Albo, he's fine if you 0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:06.000 dump another country's secrets, but if you do it to 0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:12.520 our country, you definitely have to go to jail. Victoria 0:20:13.400 --> 0:20:16.280 is playing a very dangerous political game at the moment 0:20:16.320 --> 0:20:18.120 because even lefties don't. 0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:20.199 Like the idea of a death tax. 0:20:20.720 --> 0:20:23.680 Now, our death tax has been one of the great 0:20:23.840 --> 0:20:28.320 bogeymen of Australian politics now. At times people have discussed 0:20:28.320 --> 0:20:32.199 things like inheritance taxes. And inheritance taxes of course, means 0:20:32.480 --> 0:20:34.560 that the money that you would be passing from your 0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:37.000 bank account to your kid's bank account, well, it would 0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:37.560 end up. 0:20:37.760 --> 0:20:39.280 With a big tax on top of it. 0:20:39.760 --> 0:20:42.439 We've seen people like the United Australian Party back in 0:20:42.480 --> 0:20:46.800 twenty and nineteen run very hard on this particular issue, 0:20:46.800 --> 0:20:50.840 and in part, the mere suggestion of it cost labor votes. 0:20:50.880 --> 0:20:55.560 Why because of course it was the suggestion that it 0:20:55.600 --> 0:20:57.360 was a plan from the Labor Party, but of course 0:20:57.400 --> 0:20:59.640 the Greens are much more friendly to this sort of stuff, 0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:04.120 and it's been a policy that essentially no major political 0:21:04.200 --> 0:21:06.560 party would ever have the balls to actually put into place, 0:21:06.600 --> 0:21:12.040 because intergenerational transfer of wealth put simply inheriting something from 0:21:12.040 --> 0:21:15.199 your parents or your grandparents or an uncle or an 0:21:15.280 --> 0:21:19.680 auntie is a very significant way that people are able 0:21:19.720 --> 0:21:21.080 to pay off their houses or to be able to 0:21:21.119 --> 0:21:24.040 have that little bit of extra money to make things 0:21:24.080 --> 0:21:27.000 easier for themselves. It's a terrible idea. People hate it. 0:21:27.880 --> 0:21:32.720 But I mentioned Victoria where their government is apparently considering 0:21:32.800 --> 0:21:37.320 a version, pudon me, a version of this. Harold Son 0:21:37.440 --> 0:21:42.199 wrote today fascinatingly that grieving families could cop a dex 0:21:42.280 --> 0:21:46.639 a death tax by stealth under a proposed Supreme Court 0:21:46.760 --> 0:21:51.040 probate fee hike. Now, of course, anyone who has gone 0:21:51.040 --> 0:21:54.159 through the tragedy of losing somebody that they love, and 0:21:54.200 --> 0:21:56.920 anyone who's had power of attorney and gone through all 0:21:57.000 --> 0:22:00.000 of that mess knows about probate courts. And that's why 0:22:00.040 --> 0:22:01.560 we're going to sell the house here and move the 0:22:01.560 --> 0:22:05.119 shares that you know, how all of this works well. 0:22:05.240 --> 0:22:08.760 The suggestion is is that the Victorian government should increase 0:22:08.960 --> 0:22:12.600 the size of the clip that they put on the ticket. 0:22:14.200 --> 0:22:14.360 Now. 0:22:14.400 --> 0:22:17.800 According to the Herald Sun today, the cost of dying 0:22:18.200 --> 0:22:20.520 is set to skyrocket with a Victoria in Victoria, with 0:22:20.560 --> 0:22:24.080 the Ollen government considering introduced what has been penned as 0:22:24.119 --> 0:22:26.720 a panda's a death tax by stealth, the move will 0:22:26.720 --> 0:22:30.840 sea grieving family slugged thousands of dollars more to enact 0:22:30.920 --> 0:22:34.879 the wills of loved ones. With probate fees set to 0:22:34.920 --> 0:22:38.520 face massive increases, the government has fast tracked a review 0:22:38.560 --> 0:22:42.200
