WEBVTT - Paul Murray Live | 24 October 0:00:02.560 --> 0:00:09.320 This is Paul Murray Live, geta where the man Cave 0:00:09.440 --> 0:00:12.039 is in Brisbane tonight, two days away from the Queensland election. 0:00:12.160 --> 0:00:14.480 We've got a lot on that front tonight as well. 0:00:14.280 --> 0:00:17.080 As a debate about the other issues that are around today. 0:00:17.160 --> 0:00:18.119 Remember you can always send. 0:00:18.000 --> 0:00:20.760 Me an email Paulitsgunnews dot com dot AU. Let's get 0:00:20.800 --> 0:00:23.040 straight into it. Yes, I'm going to talk about Lydia Thorpe, 0:00:23.079 --> 0:00:24.960 but slightly different than everyone else, and then I'll get 0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:28.319 onto other stuff. Okay, Now we know Lydia Thorpe yelled 0:00:28.320 --> 0:00:30.320 at the King this week. We know that Lydia Thorpe 0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:33.040 got what she wanted because of course she got all 0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:34.080 of the attention that. 0:00:34.120 --> 0:00:34.960 Came with that. 0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:37.879 She's also out there and about today saying. 0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:40.000 I'm not going anywhere. I'm not going anywhere. 0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:45.400 And you have heard about the inconsistencies between what she's 0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:48.240 using as her excuses today that are different than yesterday. 0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:50.800 And it all goes back to how she was sworn 0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:54.320 in as a senator. Now you remember at the time 0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:57.840 that we noted that she clearly was being sworn in 0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:01.040 with two fingers behind her back because she had read 0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:02.840 the oath and the Oath says that, of course you 0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:08.800 are committed to their majesties and their heirs and successes. Now, 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:12.720 I wanted to show you in full, but Lydia Thorpe 0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:14.800 didn't just take one go at this. 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:17.199 She tried to get away with not. 0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:20.200 Giving the oath, but the President of the Senate at 0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:22.440 the time when no, no, you've got to do it 0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:26.160 properly or you're not formally sworn in as a senator. 0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:28.640 Again, you've heard a lot of people talk about this. 0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:29.760 I want to show. 0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:34.160 You the full clip of how she tried to get 0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:38.240 around the oath that decides whether she is or isn't 0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:42.120 a senator. This is the whole idea that will be 0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:43.920 battled over in the next few weeks. 0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:50.160 Senator Thought, I'm going. 0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:51.640 To wait for quiet, patently. 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:55.880 Just listen, Senator Thought, you are required to recite the 0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:57.440 oath as printed on the card. 0:01:57.560 --> 0:02:00.360 So please recite the oath words. 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:02.040 Read what's there. 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:09.640 None of us right away? 0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:14.160 Turn around? Read the damn piece of paper. 0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:19.480 Their true allegiance to the colonizing her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:25.160 that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to 0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:29.480 her Majesty Queen Elism and the second, her hairs and 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:31.280 successes according to law. 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:38.520 Okay, important, important, important, important, right important. Now, obviously it's 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:42.360 very clear she didn't want to read the words as written. 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:49.680 It's very obvious that she clearly tries to miss pronounce 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:58.680 or not read correctly the words heirs and successes. Now, 0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:01.160 heirs doesn't have an eight in it, but clearly you 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:05.200 heard her doing that. Now, if she's not properly sworn 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:07.640 in in the same way that if you are a 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:12.320 dual citizen, you can't remain a senator. Now there is 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:16.280 going to be like a Zebruta film jfk assassination style 0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:22.359 analysis of exactly what words she said. Now, remember when 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:26.320 she was on TV earlier this week, she was open 0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:30.760 that she didn't read the words as instructed multiple times. 0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:32.280 Instead, she did it her way. 0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:38.600 I read the card. It said hers, which you know 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:43.560 is now is heirs. I'm no expert on the English language. 0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:45.920 That's part of the process of colonization. 0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:51.160 So she thought, ah, I found a clever way around this. 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:54.200 And then somebody's clearly whispered in her ear if you 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:56.720 don't take the oath properly, whether you mean it. 0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:59.000 Or not, Okay, nobody can know what's going on inside somewhere. 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:02.120 But if you don't read it properly, word for word, 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:05.040 letter for letter, then maybe you're not qualified to be 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:08.400 a senator. Now, remember this is a person who came 0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:11.520 in under the cover of the Greens and then walked 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:14.640 away from them very quickly into the Parliament, knowing that 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:18.159 she would have a full six year term, meaning even 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:19.600 after the next election, we've got to put up with 0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:24.200 her for another three years. Well, clearly worried that her 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:28.080 first defense, which was I didn't really mean it, might 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:30.680 see her booted out of the Senate. We got this 0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:31.880 version today. 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:38.600 You know, my English grammar isn't as good as others, 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:43.520 and I spoke what I read, so I misspoke. 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:48.400 Okay, all again, too clever, Right, You don't have to 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:52.000 have an awareness of grammar. You don't have to be 0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:55.760 someone who speaks the Queen's English. You need to be 0:04:55.880 --> 0:05:04.760 able to read and repeat every single word of the Oath. Now, 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:07.960 unless her third defense is going to be that she's dyslexic, 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:12.160 but her saying oh my understanding of grap no no no, no, 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:15.800 no no. Take this from a high functioning dyslexic. If 0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:18.720 you've got problems reading the words because for whatever reason, 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:20.279 your brain can sometimes jumble them. 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:22.200 That is its own thing. 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:27.440 What you did, because we saw in the original video 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:29.080 she tried not. 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:30.799 To deliver that part of the oath. 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:34.440 She then turns around the second time. She's been ordered 0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:38.360 by the President of the Senate to read it directly, 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:43.159 and she clearly didn't read it directly, and she certainly 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:46.719 didn't annunciate the words properly. 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:50.520 Will this means she can get booted out of the Senate? Now? 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:56.200 You would think that Labor, Greens and the cross Bench 0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:58.839 will probably come to defend her, because they always do 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:01.760 when it comes to lefties. But is there a procedure 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:05.920 that it won't matter what her side of politics thinks. 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:08.200 I can't wait to talk to Bromin Bishop of course, 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:12.520 a former senator, seven Conroy, a former Leader of the Senate, 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:16.760 about what the procedure is here, what happens next? They 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:19.040 know the institution. Do they think that she can get 0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:20.240 booted or we're going to put up with her for 0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:21.480 another however many years. 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:23.320 We get to that a little later in the show. 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:26.160 As I mentioned, two days to go here in Queensland 0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:29.119 until that state election, lots of people have already voted. 0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:32.960 The expectation is after early voting wraps up tomorrow that 0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:35.800 a good chunk, maybe even half of all people may 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:39.680 well have voted early now. Last night, of course, Queensland 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:42.480 was very focused on what we had to say, and 0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:44.520 thank you to the huge reaction that we've had to 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:46.920 my comments at the start of the show about why 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:49.640 Queensland matters as much to me as it does. I 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:51.680 don't say that as a panda to Queensland, as I 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:54.159 say it as I explained last night about why I 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:57.839 love the place because it's the place that I, when 0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:01.160 I'm not at home, most choose to be in Australia. 0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:04.839 It is a place that deserves better than its current government. 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:06.280 But we'll all find out in the next couple of 0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:08.159 days whether or not there is about to be a 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:11.520 change of government. And if I sound slightly wobblier compared 0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:14.480 to guaranteed absolute the sun will rise tomorrow and the 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:18.200 government will change on Saturday, well, I'll get to why 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:21.880 you should always be skeptical of what could be a 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:25.560 fifty to fifty result. For his part, the potential future 0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:28.000 Premier and current Opposition leader David Cruci fully out and 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:31.679 about today trying to keep the focus hard and fast 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:37.040 on law and order issues in this state. The Palichet government, 0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:39.520 at the same time as they were claiming to tighten 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:42.080 up a whole collection of laws, as you know, changed 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:45.520 a whole bunch of other laws that mean possession of 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:49.120 drugs is not automatically a crime. As I said at 0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:52.800 the time, this was overtly done because it went about 0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:56.040 a certain percentage of the whole youth crime was possession 0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:58.720 of drugs. If you suddenly say it's not a crime anymore, 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:03.640 magically the numbers start to fall, and funnily enough, Stephen 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:06.920 Miles is using that exact argument about youth crime and 0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:09.960 crime overall that is falling. In part that is because 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:13.440 of what was a crime, drug possession in this state 0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:16.400 currently is considered not to be. The whole collection of 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:19.760 diversionary programs. David Chruso Foley says, no, we go back 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:21.640 to the way that it used to be, which is, 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:24.280 if you caught with drugs, regardless of how much there 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:26.080 will be a problem for you in Queen's Lake. 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:30.080 We don't believe a soft on drugs approach works, but 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:33.360 I don't believe rolling out the welcome mat to drugs 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:37.520 and saying that drugs are acceptable here and not here. 0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:39.119 I just don't believe. 0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:39.760 That's the right way. 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:41.680 For his part. 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:45.720 The potential and hopefully outgoing Premiere, Stephen Miles is doing 0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:47.720 what he's done all campaign, which is a stunt that 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:50.280 the media will like, a headline that produces things like 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:53.200 the Premier to visit thirty six states in thirty six 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:55.320 hours and Jesus, isn't he working really hard and he 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:57.800 wants it more than everybody else. Of course, it's a 0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:00.720 last ditched effort to make the most of his taxpayer 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:05.360 funded travel. Which remember this bloke during this election campaign 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:10.800 used a taxpayer funded jet to fly ten minutes so 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:12.400 he could go to a birthday party for one of 0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:16.360 his own MPs. This is the same bloke who took 0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:20.559 his own private jet to North Queensland while the Police 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:22.959 commissioner took his private jet. You couldn't possibly get on 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:26.120 the same private two private jets. These people other people's money. 0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:29.120 They've had their snout in the trough for too long. 0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:31.839 I desperately hope there's going to be a change. There 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:34.520 was some other silliness that took place today, including a 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:37.560 Deputy leader's debate where the deputy leader of the LMP 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:43.200 didn't turn up, so Cameron Dick of course had the 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:46.760 opportunity to pretend that he could debate a person who 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:49.800 wasn't there. This is part of it they played out 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:51.319 here at the Korea Male Today. 0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:54.320 We're going through one of the biggest growth periods in 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:57.760 our state's history. Now, we always pay our debts in Queensland, 0:09:57.800 --> 0:10:01.319 you know, issue our bonds three five thirty is we 0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:05.200 always pay them and Queensland never retires, so we will 0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:06.959 always be able to service our debs. 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:11.160 Well, the deputy LMP leader wasn't there, but we'll be 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:13.559 here on this program tonight. I'll ask him some of 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:16.080 the questions that clearly weren't able to be asked then, 0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:17.880 and why he didn't turn up at that debate. We'll 0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:22.480 get to that a little bit later tonight. Now we 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:24.760 know that the great battle at the federal level, of course, 0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:28.280 is between an unpopular Prime minister and the rising popularity 0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:30.160 of our guests last night, Peter Dutton. 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:32.400 We also know that they have. 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:35.560 Two very different views when it comes to the energy 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:38.200 solution for our country in the many years going forward. 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:41.400 We know the Prime Minister is obsessed. We're doubling down 0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:46.120 on billions and billions of dollars on renewable projects. Peter 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:49.280 Dutton says that you could spend less that he's planned 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:52.840 on the renewables, and of course back in on nuclear power. 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:53.480 Now. 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:56.439 Of course the automatic scare that the Labor Party has 0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:58.640 brought into play, and they wanted to play during the 0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:02.160 Queensland election. Of course they started that abortion lie, which 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:06.360 again I debunked and destroyed and gave you the reasons 0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:08.679 why they were doing it last night. That video is 0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:11.320 now up at sky news dot com. If you're in Queensland, 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:14.080 please share it well. Of course, the scare manger that 0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:16.360 they wanted to do. If it wasn't abortion, it was 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:18.920 going to be will a nuclear reactor be in your backyard? 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:25.800 Nuclear power is the most expensive form of new energy. 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:28.720 Renewables are the cheapest. 0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:30.160 A nuclear powered Australia. 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:30.839 Could it work? 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:36.280 Question mark here as a plan for nuclear reactors where 0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:38.040 he won't tell you how much it'll cost. 0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:42.440 Nuclear takes longer, it costs more, and it would waste 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:49.920 Australia's unique combination of geological, geographical, geopolitical and meteorological advantages. 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:55.360 Now, I've always argued that the model for big changes 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:59.160 in Australia is the way John Howard argued the GST 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:04.000 in the nineteen ninety eight election, and it simply was, yes, 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:07.720 there will be a new GST. However all of these 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:11.920 other taxes will be removed, Australians having a sense that 0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:16.040 they get something for the change. So my argument has 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:20.440 always been that whatever local government area or federal electorate, 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:23.560 you work out how it works that is willing to 0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:28.040 host a nuclear power plant that that area should receive 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:32.560 free energy, you will see many a hand go up, 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:36.160 you will see unanimous votes for councils, you will see 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:40.280 people fighting for these things to be built in their area. 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:42.960 I've argued that position for many months and I hope 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:46.640 that that's something that the Opposition leader and the opposition 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:49.199 generally take to the next federal election, because I think 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:52.760 it truly does blunt many or most. 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:53.600 Of the fear campaigns. 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:55.360 And we know that this government's got very little to 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:57.280 run on in terms of its own defense, so they're 0:12:57.280 --> 0:13:00.280 going to be trying to scare, scare, scare. Well, prominent 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:03.439 Australian business person may well be a viewer of this program, 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:06.320 or just two people can have the same idea. At 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:10.880 the same time, Ryan Stokes was addressing the media today 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:13.839 in Perth, where he has of course involved in the 0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:17.760 ownership structure of the West Australian newspaper Channel seven and 0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:21.240 mining companies in Western Australia. Well, he says, yes, what 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:25.559 a good way to make sure that nuclear power gets 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:28.880 over the nimbis is to offer it for free to 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:31.240 some people, including the people who of course would be 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:33.760 in and around where one of these things would be built. 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:37.440 Nuclear is a carbon free power source, so it makes 0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:40.800 sense to be talking about that to reduce carbon emissions. 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:41.439 Common sense. 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:44.280 Mister Stokes thinks there's a solution to deal with the 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:47.720 rest of the population who remain nuclear nimbi's which is 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:50.040 not in my backyard. And to deal with this nimbiasm, 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:53.679 it's easy. You find ways to incentivize people to live 0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:58.640 around nuclear power. Put simply, you make it free for 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:01.680 the people who live within a certain distance, as I say, 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:06.240 local council, area, federal electorate. You watch, you watch country 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:09.040 towns in this country shove their hands in the end 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:12.280 and say, yes, sign us up, we're ready, let's do it. 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:16.240 If the trade off is free power, I think that 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:19.200 would be a very good idea. Meantime, when he talks 0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:23.120 about the renewable revolution, that we are forced to endure 0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:26.400 something that along with the building of the turbines and 0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:28.920 the solar panels that of course all are out of 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:31.840 date within a couple of decades, and the wiring of 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:34.600 all of this making the wires a two way street 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:36.520 when it comes to power that will cost about a 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:40.080 trillion dollars. Polie says that no one can possibly believe 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:42.360 that renewable energy is free. There's no such thing as 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:45.520 free for a free lunch, there's no such thing as 0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:47.480 free energy. There's no pot of gold at the end 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:50.800 of the rainbow. I agree, and as we spoke about 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:53.880 with Peter Dutton on the program last night, even the 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:57.480 people who are in charge of the energy grid are 0:14:57.520 --> 0:15:00.160 telling us that even after all of the windmills have 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:02.760 been built, all of the solar panels have been rolled out, 0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:06.120 power may not actually be cheaper than what we are 0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:07.480 paying now. 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:11.400 Chris Bowen, I think, has been misleading the Australian people, 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:14.960 along with Anthony Ibneasy for years now. The penny has 0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:17.560 dropped for a lot of Australians. A lot people have 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:19.440 been well ahead of this debate, and the frustration is 0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:22.080 building in the community because when the Prime ministers promised 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:25.320 on ninety seven occasions he'd reduced power bills both two 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:28.080 hundred and seventy five dollars, so most people have gone 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:31.040 up by one thousand dollars. 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:34.840 Now, what do these three things have in common. A 0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:41.560 spokesperson for the New Muslim Votes political movement, the CCP 0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:46.200 in China, and lefty Laura Tingle from the ABC. 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:48.800 Well, all three of them think. 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:54.960 That Australia is racist, a racist country. Now we know 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:57.320 that Lefty Laura Tingle has said this, and she did 0:15:57.320 --> 0:15:59.720 it at a Ritus festival where a whole bunch of people. 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:01.160 Will clutch their pearls in agreement. 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:03.680 We are in a racist. 0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:05.520 Campulen's face that we always have been, and it is 0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:09.280 very depressing to give a license like that. I find 0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:13.080 profoundly depressing and a terrible prospect for the next election. 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:21.200 And of course we can never forget her incredible four 0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:23.960 D chess and X ray vision that she was able 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:27.400 to look around the corner at a dystopian future for 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:30.760 Australia that because we're so racist, and because the racist 0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:34.440 flames are being fanned because of the problems of immigration, 0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:37.440 which as we know, is not about where people are from, 0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:40.000 what they look like, what they believe, but how many 0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:44.040 people join the queue for things like ambulances, where again 0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:46.760 in places like Queensland, there's a chance if you call 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:49.000 her below, the ambulance may not turn up, or if 0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:50.960 you sit in the back of the ambulance you may 0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:53.200 well end up being there for hours because there's no 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:54.480 bed for you in a hospital. 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:56.760 No, no, let's add another million people on top of 0:16:56.760 --> 0:16:57.200 all of that. 0:16:57.360 --> 0:17:01.120 Well, she believed the dystopian future is that as soon 0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:05.679 as now, people who are new to the country, whatever 0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:08.159 that means, who look like people who are new to 0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:11.359 the country, whatever that means, will of course be set 0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:14.280 upon by a racist mob of people who won't like 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:17.240 when they're bidding for a house or trying to get 0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:21.119 a rental property. For a major point the. 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:24.040 Collity that us be saying, as Nicky says, you know, 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:28.200 everything that's going wrong in this country is because of migrants. 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:31.359 And you know, I had sudden flash of people turning 0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:34.639 up to try to rent a property or at an auction, 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:37.679 and they look a bit different. What have you defined 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:41.800 different as basically he has given them license. 0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:42.320 To be abused. 0:17:43.720 --> 0:17:46.560 I'm pretty sure that's racist what she said. But because 0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:49.280 she said, here's one hundred walkleys and an oam is 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:52.600 coming your way, of course none of that is happening 0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:54.440 and none of that will be happening in the country. 0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:56.919 But that's the first person who is as straight as racist. 0:17:57.000 --> 0:18:00.400 The second a spokesperson for this Muslim Votes movement. Now, 0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:03.760 I don't talk much about the Muslim Votes movement because ultimately, 0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:07.280 even if they're able to successfully move ten to twenty 0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:09.679 percent of labor voters for them to be able to 0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:12.199 get the teal effect, they need the preferences of the 0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:14.520 Liberal Party. That's not going to happen. So I don't 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:17.239 talk about it much. But one of the spokespeople for it, well, 0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:19.720 guess what they say, Australia is racist. 0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:26.360 Those two sentences triggered the poor sensibilities of the white 0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:31.800 exceptionalist establishment. She's absolutely one hundrescent right. This country is racist. 0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:36.760 Its whole origin as a modern state is built on racism, 0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:40.160 and it continues to be racist today. But that racism 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:42.479 now extends to others with a vigor. 0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:43.000 Right. 0:18:43.080 --> 0:18:46.720 The response to any issue dealing with Islam with Muslims 0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:50.560 and now Palestine, it's not even hidden racism any longer. 0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:52.440 It's overt, it's loud. 0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:57.000 And then China, well, China had the hide to come 0:18:57.040 --> 0:19:00.720 out today. And because Australia is trying to point out 0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:03.479 the human rights issues that are taking place in China, 0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:07.440 the handsome boy and the president, well, of course they'll 0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:10.440 cuddle up at any opportunity they possibly can. Otherwise there's 0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:12.639 a trade war and we know how all of that goes, 0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:15.960 and we must reset the relationship. But an official with 0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:18.480 the Foreign Affairs Department has turned around and said this 0:19:18.600 --> 0:19:22.760 about Australia. Australia or China has been accused, has accused 0:19:22.760 --> 0:19:27.280 Australia of systemic racism and hate crimes at hypocrisy. After 0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:31.840 an Australian diplomat raised international concerns about human rights abuses 0:19:32.600 --> 0:19:36.399 in the area where the Vegas are and Tibet at 0:19:36.440 --> 0:19:42.240 the UN, the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lee we are 0:19:42.320 --> 0:19:45.600 and I think it is, says quote, out of their 0:19:45.640 --> 0:19:49.320 ideological bias, Australia, the US and a handful of other 0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:53.840 Western countries stoked confrontation and multilateral platforms for their selfish 0:19:53.920 --> 0:19:56.640 political interests. Well what do you do with the US 0:19:56.640 --> 0:19:57.800 and what do you do when it comes to the 0:19:57.800 --> 0:20:00.560 World Health Organization because they were not all that good 0:20:00.600 --> 0:20:03.200 in being able to hold you accountable for the WUFLU 0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:06.320 getting around anyway, let's get to the why Australia's racist bit. 0:20:06.760 --> 0:20:11.119 Australia long plague by systemic racism and hate crimes, have 0:20:11.280 --> 0:20:16.560 severely violated the rights of refugees and immigrants and left 0:20:16.560 --> 0:20:21.280 indigenous people with vulnerable living conditions. All they go on, 0:20:22.160 --> 0:20:25.760 Australian soldiers have committed a borren crimes in Afghanistan and 0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:31.480 other countries during their military operations. Well, Powe, let's push 0:20:31.560 --> 0:20:34.160 the ball right back into your half of the court. 0:20:35.080 --> 0:20:38.760 A million people are currently working in slave labor camps 0:20:38.800 --> 0:20:42.920 because they believe what the government does not allow them 0:20:42.920 --> 0:20:48.159 to believe. Uigas are being put into slave labor camps. 0:20:48.200 --> 0:20:51.959 They are being physically, psychologically and sexually abused. 0:20:52.960 --> 0:20:54.320 A million of these people. 0:20:54.359 --> 0:20:57.800 The abuse is absolutely disgraceful happening right now. 0:20:58.080 --> 0:20:59.480 But what about back in history. 0:20:59.720 --> 0:21:02.240 You have to go about that far to when China 0:21:03.200 --> 0:21:07.600 had a one child policy rule. It meant that, as 0:21:07.600 --> 0:21:11.800 The Washington Post reported in nineteen eighty five, that people 0:21:11.840 --> 0:21:15.000 were killing their baby girls because the one child they 0:21:15.040 --> 0:21:18.639 wanted was a son. Official position, of course to the 0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:22.520 Chinese government, how dare they try to high horse us? 0:21:23.080 --> 0:21:26.000 But look at the fellow the bedfellows, the extreme left 0:21:26.000 --> 0:21:32.399 of the media and emerging identitarian form of politics based 0:21:32.440 --> 0:21:37.560 in and around religion, and China all using the same 0:21:37.560 --> 0:21:42.199 weapon against us to pretend that this country is racist. Please, 0:21:42.840 --> 0:21:47.280 I find it extraordinary that the racism was displayed by 0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:51.840 Laura Tingle about people who look different being set upon, 0:21:53.000 --> 0:21:58.080 the apparent racism that exists in a country that you 0:21:58.119 --> 0:22:00.879 are trying to convince people via the ballot box to 0:22:01.080 --> 0:22:05.120 vote for you, and China trying to pretend that they 0:22:05.119 --> 0:22:07.960 have the moral high ground on any of these issues 0:22:08.280 --> 0:22:12.040 is a disgrace. Now, I want to talk about our 0:22:12.040 --> 0:22:14.040 mates in Broken Hill. They've had a tough week this week. 0:22:14.080 --> 0:22:16.359 Hopefully many of them are starting to watch us again 0:22:16.760 --> 0:22:20.159
