WEBVTT - Sharri | 22 January 0:00:01.520 --> 0:00:01.720 Why. 0:00:02.080 --> 0:00:04.720 On Sky News, this is. 0:00:04.640 --> 0:00:10.920 Sharry Good Evening tonight, I'll lift the lid on deeply 0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:15.440 irresponsible claims from the AFP and alban Easy. I can 0:00:15.480 --> 0:00:19.720 reveal there is no tangible evidence at all pointing to 0:00:19.800 --> 0:00:23.079 foreign actors funding anti Semitic attacks in Australia. 0:00:23.800 --> 0:00:25.560 No tangible evidence. 0:00:26.040 --> 0:00:30.159 I'll expose these claims as at a speculative line of 0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:35.240 inquiry at best. That exclusive coming up also tonight, when 0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:38.520 will Albanisi call the election? I'll bring you inside information 0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:42.879 from a political analyst. In a moment and Milania's agenda 0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:45.879 in the White House revealed, Liz Burke would join me 0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:47.239 to speak about what the. 0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:49.000 New First Lady has planned. 0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:53.200 Also on the show tonight, an Israeli daughter whose father 0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:57.360 was murdered by a Palestinian terrorist. The killer now set 0:00:57.440 --> 0:01:00.440 free under the hostage deal. His daughter will join me 0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:05.760 to share her reaction. Okay, we're finally seeing some arrests 0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:09.200 in relation to the anti Semitic attacks. Here are the 0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:14.399 details of nine people arrested for their alleged involvement in 0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:19.480 recent violent incidents. Now this is important because we need 0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:22.679 a name and shame who these grubs are, and we 0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:26.920 need to know their motivation for committing these alleged attacks 0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:31.560 against Australian Jews. Will you remember the Wallara attacks in 0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:37.080 December where kill Israel and death to Israel was scrolled 0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:40.639 on buildings and a car was set on fire. A woman, 0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:45.120 Tammy Faruja, aged thirty four, has been charged in relation 0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:49.360 to the incident, and her boyfriend, Scott Marshall is facing 0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:53.560 unrelated charges to the Wallara incident and is presently on 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:54.880 remind in jail. 0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:56.720 Well here they both are. 0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:01.480 Tammy's home in Liverpool in Sydney's West was raided by 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:05.880 police on Monday morning. Leam Mendy's in The Australian reports 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:09.400 that social media posts made on December tenth, and that's 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:13.480 the day before the attack by that mother of five, 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:17.480 will be relied on in court where she allegedly asked 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:21.200 if anyone had Jerry Kn's she could use and you're 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:25.400 looking at that social media post on the screen. The 0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:28.680 Australian also reports that according to a social media profile 0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:32.640 in her name, Feruja wrote that she'd been raided on 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:36.520 Christmas Eve and her partner had been locked up and 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:41.440 that our phones got seized. Now we won't know until 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:45.440 police present their facts, their case in court. Why Faruja 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:50.680 allegedly decided to engage in those activities. Her social media 0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:57.120 profiles don't contain any activism against Israel. Then there's the 0:02:57.160 --> 0:03:01.600 first Willara vandalism spree, when, as you remember, ten cars 0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:07.000 and buildings were vandalized and torched in November. Well, three 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:11.600 men have been charged, Muhammed Farhat, he's aged twenty, Also 0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:16.679 Thomas Stoyanevsky nineteen, and a third twenty one year old 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:19.240 man who hasn't yet been named. He'll being caught for 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:23.480 the first time in early March. Now I've already reported 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:27.440 that Muhammed Farihat allegedly has a Hezvila tattoo on his neck. 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:31.040 He was arrested at Sydney Airport before a flight to 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:31.959 leave the country. 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:33.840 Now let's look at. 0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:36.960 The Newtown's synagogue arson attack, and there was an arrest 0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:42.200 made today. Adamule aged thirty three. He was arrested by 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:46.360 police at his home in Camperdown. As you can see here, 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:50.680 he has on his fingers if you look closely, a 0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:55.400 tattoo that says nineteen forty one. He's allegedly one of 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:59.800 two masked, hooded men who were captured on CCTV sprang 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:05.520 swastikas on the Newtown Synagogue eleven days ago before preparing 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:09.240 to set it alight and luckily the fire burnt out. 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:13.640 Then four men have now been charged in relation to 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:17.919 the fires at Lewis Continental Kitchen in Bondai and the 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:24.280 Curly Lewis Brewery in Bondi in October, Guy Finnegan thirty one, 0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:31.800 Craig Bantoft twenty seven, one Aaoumi twenty six and Wayne 0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:33.920 Ogden forty. 0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:35.880 Police alleged that two of. 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:38.640 The men were asked by someone they had in their 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:44.760 phones on the encrypted signal chat conversation app as James Bond, 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:48.080 and they met him in person as well in Sydney, 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:52.760 and police alleged that James Bond was asking two of 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:55.680 those men to burn down the Kosher kitchen in Bondi, 0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:59.840 but instead, in a case of mistaken identity, they got 0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:04.440 the wrong place and touched a brewery instead. Now one 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:08.560 of these men, Guy Finnegan, was only given a ten 0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:13.640 month sentence ten months. Premier Chris Minn said this just 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:16.800 wasn't good enough and police will appeal it. 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:21.720 We need to send a strong and unambiguous message that 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:24.480 you will face the full force of the law and 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:27.400 we expect and we hope that when police do the 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:30.960 job of arresting these individuals and putting them before the courts, 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:33.280 significant sentences are handed down. 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:37.200 And he's right, of course, there needs to be strong sentences, 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:41.760 not a light touch to these serious attacks. Now, this 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:45.800 is really positive news that some of these grubs like Guy. 0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:47.320 Finnegan have been convicted. 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:51.160 The police have come a long way from that disgraceful 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:55.440 press conference where they nitpicked the precise anti Semitic phrase 0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:58.560 that was uttered at the Opera House and claimed there 0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:03.160 were no problems. As the Premier Chris Mens now acknowledges, 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:07.359 these violent attacks begin with words. 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:12.120 Anyone who preaches hate in our community, who sets about 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:15.800 dividing Australian against Australian and undermining what it means to 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:18.640 live in Australia in twenty twenty five, will be subject 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:19.200 to the laws. 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:24.880 Men's is throwing police resources at these attacks and they're 0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:28.880 making headway, but there are still many unsolved incidents. The 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:32.520 childcare center fire bombing, it just took place yesterday, the 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:37.800 Dover Heights attacks, the Southern Sydney Synagogue vandalism, the ADAS 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:42.080 synagogue in Melbourne. The perpetrators behind all of these major 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:46.239 incidents remain at large, and so do the attackers behind 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:51.279 many of the vandalism on political offices. The police minister 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:54.080 in New South Wales insists that there are good lines 0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:55.800 of inquiry into some of these. 0:06:57.080 --> 0:07:01.320 There is good progress on the attack on the synagogue 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:05.520 in Aliwa, very strong leads for investigators in that one, 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:11.280 as well as the daycare fire at Maruba yesterday. There 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:15.680 are very good lines of inquiry. 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:16.760 Well the Prime Minister. 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:21.559 He claimed today that some of the perpetrators were being paid, 0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:25.440 perhaps by overseas actors, the implication that. 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:28.320 It wasn't his problem, not his fault. 0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:34.000 I'm reluctant to say anything that compromises those investigations, but 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:38.840 it is important that people understand where some of these 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:42.960 attacks are coming from. And it would appear, as the 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:47.160 AFP Commissioner said yesterday, that some of these are being 0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:52.080 perpetrated by people who don't have a particular issued, aren't 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:56.080 motivated by an ideology, but are paid actors. Now it's 0:07:56.160 --> 0:08:02.360 unclear who or or where the payments are coming from. 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:04.160 Now. 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:08.320 I've spoken to police and government sources today, Senior ones 0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:10.720 and I can tell you that in the majority of 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:16.640 cases this is blatantly untrue that any foreign actors were involved. 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:23.160 This claim is an unproven and damaging distraction. Whether there 0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:27.280 have been foreign payments made is just one line of inquiry, 0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:32.280 one line of inquiry being investigated by the AFP in 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:37.079 relation to mostly Victorian cases that the AFP are involved in, 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:42.200 and even that is speculative. I have confirmed there is 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:47.760 no tangible evidence at all pointing to foreign actors being involved. 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:49.000 So, just to. 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:53.680 Reiterate that very important point, there is no tangible evidence 0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:57.440 pointing to foreign actors being involved in these anti Semitic 0:08:57.480 --> 0:09:02.959 attacks in Australia. Certainly isn't relevant to the childcare firebombing 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:05.880 of yesterday, or the Dover Heights attack or any of 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:10.439 the instances in Sydney when New South Wales police are investigating, 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:14.720 and the idea that Russia or China or r Mus 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:19.760 could have been behind this is being dismissed by serious 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:25.400 players as ludicrous. Now tonight The Australian has published a 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:28.720 story about a criminal being referred to as James bond 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:31.880 I mentioned this a moment ago. Who was behind the 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:36.160 arson attack in Bondi, well, look at the message sent 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:40.040 from this James Bond on signal and tell me whether 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:43.000 you think it sounds like someone overseas. 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:47.200 Use the F word. Obviously I won't say. 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:51.520 Use f use as in he sang to them, use 0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:54.000 stuffed up the whole thing. 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:55.880 Now, if us. 0:09:57.240 --> 0:09:59.800 F couldn't do it from the start, then why did 0:09:59.840 --> 0:10:03.480 you whose even went there for f me It's not 0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:08.439 even done two percent burned, F me debt, f me debt. 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:13.559 Very Australian phrase now. 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:17.400 James Patterson, the Shadow Home Affairs Minister, was also doubtful 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:19.720 that any foreign actors were involved. 0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:23.240 Prime Minister has not said whether he was briefed on this, 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:26.280 when he was briefed on this, whether the National Security 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:29.280 Committee of Cabinet has met, whether our intelligence agencies have 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:31.559 bread brought into this, whether he's discussed this with our 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:34.520 Five Eyes partners, and what action he is taking if 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:37.359 it is indeed true that we have a foreign sponsored 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:40.319 campaign of terror against the Jewish community in our country. 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:43.679 Also yet to be explained is why it appears that 0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:46.600 so far Australia is unique in being on the receiving 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:47.160 end of this. 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:52.080 So this is the Prime Minister, yet again trying to 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:56.679 shift blame for a serious problem that's arisen under his watch, 0:10:57.360 --> 0:11:01.480 a wave of domestic terror that his government is ultimately 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:05.160 responsible for, and they can't blame anyone else, certainly not 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:09.120 foreign actors. My sources tell me that some cases are 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:13.199 motivated by the Israel Gaza war. And as I said, 0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:15.960 we know that one of the men has a Hesbala tattoo. 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:21.280 But other perpetrators are being investigated by police for white 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:27.240 supremacist and neo Nazi ideology. That's why swastiks have been 0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:32.920 painted in the vandalism. An AFP Detective Superintendent David Craig 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:38.040 said today that this terror was home grown, homegrown terror. 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:40.920 Have a look at his strong comments on Sunrise. 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:45.120 So just briefly, are you saying this federal government has 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:47.319 allowed this sort of hate speech to fester. 0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:53.040 I'm saying that I've done a six different prime ministers 0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:55.240 in the Australian Federal Police, a lot of my time 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:58.040 in CANA terrorism, and I've never seen such a jelly 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:04.360 jeweled Spino's response to hatred and UnAustralian behavior by a 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:04.920 prime minister. 0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:09.679 Well, he's right and everyone knows it. Even Israel has 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:12.720 had to try and intervene to get Albanezi to take 0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:18.040 tough action on anti Semitism. Israel's Deputy Foreign Minister Sharan Haskell, 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:21.400 as you know, a regular on this program. She told 0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:23.680 me on Monday night that the Albanese government was to 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:27.599 blame for anti Semitism, and then she made similar comments 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:30.040 on the ABC today. 0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:38.720 Obviously, the attitude of the current Australian government towards Israel 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:45.120 is inflaming a lot of these emotions and giving, I guess, 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:48.920 some acceptance when you do not fight it. I mean, 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:52.360 what are they waiting for for someone to die, for 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:53.720 someone to be murdered? 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:58.120 Well, Tony Burke hit back at her, claiming she was 0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:01.280 wrong and that the criminals aren't paying attention to his 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:03.760 government's policies towards Israel. 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:07.160 I don't believe that the sorts of thugs that are 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:11.440 engaging in this sort of behavior are checking what's happening 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:14.080 in the General Assembly of the United Nations when it 0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:14.920 meets in New York. 0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:18.600 I mean, come on, they still don't get it. They've 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:24.120 never taken this problem seriously. Albanesi's top government ministers insisted 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:28.840 on speaking about Islamophobia when asked about anti Semitism. That 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:33.480 was downplaying what was unfolding before their very eyes. This 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:37.480 national security crisis should have been the top priority for 0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:41.040 the Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke, but of course Jews 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:45.240 aren't his constituents in his Western Sydney marginal seat, so 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:49.640 it seems that our safety mattered less to him. Instead, 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:53.560 Tony Burke and Albanesi and Penny Wong gave visas to 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:58.040 nearly three thousand Palestinians in Gaza, allowing them to come 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:02.080 to Australia, where they're now going to permanently stay, despite 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:06.000 Pennywog initially saying that they were just temporary visas. 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:08.080 That was a lie. 0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:12.319 The Albanese government is taking the risk of literally importing 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:17.600 hatred against Jews. If they cared about antisemitism, they wouldn't 0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:21.080 do that. They've also continued to found the flames of 0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:27.280 antisemitism by repeatedly criticizing Israel, which only emboldens the aggressive 0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:31.480 pro Palestinian activists. You see the Prime Minister, you see 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:33.440 it day in day out. In the one breath he 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:37.280 criticizes Israel and in the next he calls for calm 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:41.560 on the Middle East issue on our streets. His inconsistent 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:45.120 messaging is part of the problem. He could have instead 0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:47.960 prioritized calming tensions. 0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:50.200 He can't solve the war. 0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:53.640 In Gaza, but he chose not to do that, and 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:58.880 neither did Pennywog, who has overseen the most hostile foreign 0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:02.360 policy towards Israe in Australian government history. 0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:04.120 She has overturned a. 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:09.120 Long standing bipartisan foreign policy towards Israel and treats our 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:13.960 ally like it's our enemy. She has not been a 0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:16.920 friend of the Jewish homeland and she's one of the 0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:22.680 most despised politicians in the entire Jewish community. And now 0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:27.720 she'll be attending the eightieth commemoration of the Liberation of Auschwitz. 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:31.920 It's an insult to the memory of the millions who 0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:35.960 lost their lives in the Holocaust, and Holocaust survivor Peter 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:39.320 Krauss told me today that she just shouldn't be going. 0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:45.880 I don't believe she is an appropriate person, but I 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:50.080 do believe that she does actually represent our present government. 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:57.120 And I regret to say that for the first time 0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:01.400 in what is it seventy seven year years that I've 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:06.239 been an Australian, that I'm ashamed of the way Australia 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:11.680 is behaving with regard to that, I don't believe that 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:14.840 she is the right person to be Foreign Minister given 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:19.680 the approach and attitude that she has demonstrated. 0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:27.760 Okay, let's get reaction to this from the former president 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:31.120 of the Victorian Liberal Party, Michael Kroger and farmer labor 0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:32.240 Senator Graham Richardson. 0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:36.720 Welcome to you both. Michael Kroger, what do you think 0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:37.080 of this? 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:41.960 You know, this nonsense suggestion that foreign actors are responsible 0:16:42.000 --> 0:16:43.240 for what's happening here. 0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:49.400 Well, I'm speechless, as I am every day when I 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:54.160 hear Albanesi speak or Penny Wong speak. I mean, let's 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:58.240 be Frank Shari. This federal government led by Albanesian Wong 0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:03.040 exudes hatred for the and contempt for the Jewish state 0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:07.439 at almost every opportunity, apart from obligatory things like the 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:10.879 docksing legislation, etcetera, which you know that's easy to do. 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:15.160 You got a prime minister that has he ever been 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:18.600 to Auschwitz or Oschwitz as he calls it. Has Pennywong 0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:22.000 ever been to Auschwitz? I mean I was at Auschwitz 0:17:22.000 --> 0:17:24.560 a few months ago and Auschwitz berken out. I'd say 0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:27.600 this to Penny Wong Auschwitz is not a place for 0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:30.560 your Penny. It is not a place for you to go. 0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:36.760 You on day one after October seven, Penny, when Jews 0:17:36.800 --> 0:17:44.480 were beheaded, tortured, raped, mutilated, and taken prisoner, you called 0:17:44.520 --> 0:17:50.240 on the Jewish state to exercise restraint, and you've got 0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:54.040 worse ever since. You will have been a paria yesterday 0:17:55.240 --> 0:18:00.440 in Washington, You'll be a pariah in Poland. And I'll 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:04.040 say this to Albanisi. For goodness sake, Anthony, show you 0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:07.760 some decency, mates. Sends the Speaker of the House of Representatives, 0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:11.960 or Andrew Charlton or someone who's at least pro Jewish 0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:17.359 to our Schwitz to send Penny Wong after falling over 0:18:17.600 --> 0:18:21.560 Sue Lyones, please elbow. If you tried to insult the 0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:24.440 Jewish community more, you couldn't be doing a better job, 0:18:24.520 --> 0:18:27.080 my friend, rich. 0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:31.879 O, the firebombing of the childcare center that happened yesterday 0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:33.880 followed the Dover Heights attack. 0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:35.480 Look, without giving. 0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:37.800 Away too many details, it's very close to home for you, 0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:41.280 rich Oh, you know this is in your general neighborhood. 0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:45.320 Can you tell us how rocked the local community is 0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:50.399 and how you felt having that atrocious arson attack you know, 0:18:50.680 --> 0:18:51.960 it just streets away from you. 0:18:52.359 --> 0:18:57.320 Yeah, I think there's genuine concern. Obviously, there's a pretty 0:18:57.920 --> 0:19:03.000 strong representation of Jews in our area, Dover Heights, I 0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:06.920 think well known for that. I think we've got four 0:19:06.960 --> 0:19:13.159 synagogues in walking distance. So obviously it's an area that 0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:16.399 you have to be careful about because it's going to 0:19:16.440 --> 0:19:21.560 be a target area for these rat bags, for these 0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:26.880 evil people who see no problem in mutilating children, let 0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:30.080 alone what they do to women, which I won't go into. 0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:35.040 I think this is a really, really a very critical 0:19:35.119 --> 0:19:39.040 moment here, a critical moment, and I'm not totally satisfied 0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:41.120 with the response of my own government. 0:19:41.760 --> 0:19:44.840 Well, I should hope not, because no sensible person would be. 0:19:44.880 --> 0:19:47.359 I mean, a database, come on. 0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:50.920 I'm going to talk about that issue of the failed 0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:54.119 National Cabinet a bit later with Caroline Marcus, but that 0:19:54.200 --> 0:19:57.400 it was such a pr stunt and then nothing came 0:19:57.400 --> 0:19:57.840 out of it. 0:19:57.800 --> 0:19:58.840 Except for a database. 0:19:58.880 --> 0:20:04.360 You know, didn't even really properly consider the minimum mandatory sentencing, 0:20:04.400 --> 0:20:07.000 which was Dutton's suggestion and which I understand some of 0:20:07.040 --> 0:20:10.200 the other states did support as well. All right, let's 0:20:10.200 --> 0:20:13.440 have a look at Trump's inauguration. Michael Krog, of course 0:20:13.480 --> 0:20:17.840 you follow US politics very closely. What were your main 0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:21.320 takeouts or perhaps what were your favorite things out of 0:20:21.320 --> 0:20:22.560 Trump's executive orders. 0:20:25.359 --> 0:20:29.320 Well, Trump has hit the ground running, as you would 0:20:29.320 --> 0:20:33.240 expect him to have done. He's issued the executive orders 0:20:33.240 --> 0:20:37.240 that he said he'd do. You know, border protection is 0:20:37.280 --> 0:20:41.399 critical for America, and it's not, as that Anglican minister 0:20:41.440 --> 0:20:45.600 said today, you know, him not showing compassion. I mean, 0:20:45.640 --> 0:20:48.440 no country can open its borders to eleven or more 0:20:48.480 --> 0:20:54.680 million undocumented people. I thought yesterday was typical Donald Trump. 0:20:54.760 --> 0:20:56.800 He's leading from the front. He wants to make America 0:20:56.840 --> 0:20:59.600 greater as again, as he said, He's going to make 0:20:59.640 --> 0:21:01.960 some serio economic inroads. I'm glad he's getting rid of 0:21:02.040 --> 0:21:05.719 DEI I'm glad he's got a federal hiring freeze. You know, 0:21:06.160 --> 0:21:07.760 I'm glad they're going to have a cut back in 0:21:07.800 --> 0:21:12.399 federal employees. I mean, the American the Americans got a 0:21:12.440 --> 0:21:17.280 thirty six trillion dollar US dollars fifty trillion plus Australian 0:21:17.600 --> 0:21:21.160 deficit that's getting worse three or four trillion every year. 0:21:21.240 --> 0:21:23.960 So he's got to do something about government expenditure. So 0:21:24.760 --> 0:21:28.439 you know he's at least making those tough decisions. The 0:21:28.480 --> 0:21:30.600 one thing I didn't like, to be quite frank, was 0:21:30.720 --> 0:21:33.879 when he had the families of the hostages on the 0:21:33.960 --> 0:21:39.600 stage yesterday at the Capital Theater. He talked about the 0:21:39.680 --> 0:21:44.600 J six hostages, and I thought the combining of the 0:21:44.600 --> 0:21:49.679 two was graded greatly with me. But apart from that, 0:21:50.040 --> 0:21:51.480 he's doing everything he said he'd. 0:21:51.320 --> 0:21:54.560 Do, at least see how the hostages up there front 0:21:54.560 --> 0:21:57.960 and stage, putting that issue absolutely, you know on the 0:21:58.080 --> 0:22:01.880 chat because you're wearing the host in Michael Kroger as 0:22:01.920 --> 0:22:04.240 I usually do it, and we do need them to 0:22:04.320 --> 0:22:08.080 come home. Rich O, this must have been a tough 0:22:08.200 --> 0:22:11.720 day for you having to watch the inauguration. We know 0:22:11.840 --> 0:22:15.680 you were supportive of Kamala Harris. Do you admit that, 0:22:15.760 --> 0:22:19.240 you know some of Chump's moves yesterday were sensible. Maybe 0:22:19.240 --> 0:22:21.840 you support getting people back into the office. Maybe you 0:22:21.880 --> 0:22:23.920 support having two genders. 0:22:24.320 --> 0:22:28.280 Oh yeah, Look, I don't believe that Trump that everything 0:22:28.320 --> 0:22:31.800 he says or everything he does is evil. It's clearly not. 0:22:32.600 --> 0:22:35.520 He does some things that are good, that are worthwhile, 0:22:36.440 --> 0:22:38.680 that any one of us would do if we had 0:22:38.720 --> 0:22:42.080 the chance. So good luck to him. I'm glad that 0:22:42.119 --> 0:22:44.520 he's doing some of those things. He's just got to 0:22:44.520 --> 0:22:48.199 make sure that he rains himself in because sometimes I 0:22:48.240 --> 0:22:51.480 think of the rhetoric that he can come up with, 0:22:51.880 --> 0:22:53.879 it just gets a little bit out of hand. I 0:22:53.880 --> 0:22:56.159 think he needs to be a little more careful when 0:22:56.200 --> 0:22:57.119 he opens his mouth. 0:22:58.119 --> 0:23:00.520 I had Peter Dutton on the show lineat night and 0:23:00.600 --> 0:23:04.840 I asked him about Trump's return to the presidency and 0:23:04.880 --> 0:23:09.280 there's global shift away from progressive politics, and Dutton does 0:23:09.359 --> 0:23:12.520 think it's a movement that's sweeping the globe, even Australia. 0:23:12.600 --> 0:23:13.560 Here's what he had to say. 0:23:15.080 --> 0:23:19.080 I think there is going to be a near revolution 0:23:19.160 --> 0:23:22.040 that comes with the Trump administration in relation to a 0:23:22.080 --> 0:23:24.440 lot of the work issues that might be fashionable in 0:23:24.560 --> 0:23:28.280 universities and at the ABC, but that just starn't cutting 0:23:28.320 --> 0:23:31.120 it around kitchen tables at the moment where people can't 0:23:31.160 --> 0:23:34.000 pay their bills under the urban EZI cost of living crisis. 0:23:36.040 --> 0:23:38.280 Michael, what do you think do you think we can 0:23:38.359 --> 0:23:41.639 finally say that woke politics and the age of woke 0:23:41.800 --> 0:23:44.120 is coming to an end, that people are getting sick 0:23:44.160 --> 0:23:47.320 of it, and partly because of the very real cost 0:23:47.320 --> 0:23:53.120 of living pressures as Peter Dighton says, well, we've. 0:23:53.200 --> 0:23:57.000 Reached peak Woke probably six months ago and now the 0:23:57.040 --> 0:23:59.960 world is turning against the sort of this left wing extremism. 0:24:00.000 --> 0:24:02.880 And you can't blame the Wake activists. These are left 0:24:02.880 --> 0:24:06.000 wing activists all over the world. They're in corporate affairs 0:24:06.040 --> 0:24:10.040 departments of major corporations, of universities, of arts organizations, at 0:24:10.040 --> 0:24:12.960 the ABC, et cetera, et cetera. And they've done a 0:24:13.760 --> 0:24:17.320 very good job but convincing. They're left of the West 0:24:17.359 --> 0:24:20.040 to go extreme left on all his issues. And now 0:24:20.040 --> 0:24:22.159 as people have looked at this more closely and waken up, 0:24:22.160 --> 0:24:25.080 they've decided this extreme and has to come to an end. 0:24:25.119 --> 0:24:29.080 So hopefully the Business Council Australia and DEI policies of 0:24:29.080 --> 0:24:32.040 Australian corporations will be revoked in due course and people 0:24:32.040 --> 0:24:35.280 will get back to merit based appointments. So yeah, Peter 0:24:35.359 --> 0:24:37.760 Dutton's absolutely right. It is sweeping the world. It's certainly 0:24:37.800 --> 0:24:41.320 sweeping Australia. And if you haven't got the devastating poll 0:24:41.400 --> 0:24:43.600 released in the Fairfax Press tonight, in the Age and 0:24:43.640 --> 0:24:47.440 the Sydney Morning Herald, where Dutton is now preferred Prime 0:24:47.480 --> 0:24:50.560 minister by five percent over Albanisi in the labor vote 0:24:50.600 --> 0:24:55.320 in Victoria is now twenty five percent. Dutton may not 0:24:55.359 --> 0:24:57.760 be on seventy two as I've predicted in recent months. 0:24:57.800 --> 0:24:59.639 He may have been a lot more seats than seventy two. 0:25:00.800 --> 0:25:03.760 Labor are at serious risks of losing a whole lot 0:25:03.800 --> 0:25:06.800 of other seats in Victoria than the ones that I've 0:25:06.800 --> 0:25:09.720 probably thought. When you look at Goldstein and Kuyong, those 0:25:09.720 --> 0:25:13.200 seats were propped up by labor voters voting for the Teal. Well, 0:25:13.240 --> 0:25:16.440 if the labor votes evaporating in Victoria, boy, that puts 0:25:16.520 --> 0:25:17.960 Keyon and Goldstein. 0:25:17.600 --> 0:25:21.600 Really at risk. No, it's an interesting point, Richo. What 0:25:21.640 --> 0:25:22.040 do you think. 0:25:22.200 --> 0:25:23.919
