Speaker 1: Live on Sky News Australia. This is to Nika di Giorgio.
Speaker 1: Hello and welcome to the show. Coming up tonight. The
Speaker 1: PM concludes his Kentiqi tour of China, but did he
Speaker 1: actually achieve anything? The UK's ridiculous plan to lower the
Speaker 1: voting age to sixteen and calls by the Greens for
Speaker 1: Australia to follow suit. And the White House addresses concerning
Speaker 1: rumors about Donald Trump's health. But first tonight. Federal Parliament
Speaker 1: returns next week for the first time since the Albanesi
Speaker 1: government was re elected, and g I think we are
Speaker 1: in for a showdown. Our electricity bills have risen again.
Speaker 1: There's still a cost of living crisis. Our national security
Speaker 1: is under threat. The US wants answers, the alliance is fracturing,
Speaker 1: and it's about time this Prime Minister was held to account. Firstly,
Speaker 1: of course, Anthony Aarbernesi is coming back from his Kentiqui
Speaker 1: tour of China and questions need to be asked about
Speaker 1: what he actually achieved on his extended sightseeing tour. From
Speaker 1: being serenaded by the Chinese military band playing Aussie rock
Speaker 1: to the big banquets, the smiles and a bit of
Speaker 1: tourism on the side at the Great Wall and the
Speaker 1: Panda Park. It just makes you wonder what on earth
Speaker 1: he was actually doing. I mean, what about taking back
Speaker 1: the Port of Darwin from the Chinese.
Speaker 2: Did the President express any objection to your plans about
Speaker 2: bringing the Port of Darwin back into Australian hands or
Speaker 2: any potential response that China might take to that.
Speaker 3: No, it wasn't rose.
Speaker 1: No, not important enough apparently to be raised with Shijingping.
Speaker 1: What about the live fire drills off our coast?
Speaker 4: Did you seek assurances that Australia would be better informed
Speaker 4: in future about the PLA's navy in Australian waters?
Speaker 1: And has China asserted its right to free navigation in
Speaker 1: those waters?
Speaker 3: Yes to the former. And secondly, in response, of course
Speaker 3: it was president She said that China engaged in exercises
Speaker 3: just as Australia engages in exercises.
Speaker 1: Oh well, that settles it, then, doesn't it? It was
Speaker 1: all above board. The coalition is again asking questions today.
Speaker 1: We don't know.
Speaker 5: If there was a serious discussion about the sale of
Speaker 5: the Port of Darwin. We know that the Chinese Communist
Speaker 5: Party leader in Gjping didn't listen to the Prime Minister's
Speaker 5: concern about the live firing exercises. We know there wasn't
Speaker 5: any breakthrough with the release of political prisons.
Speaker 1: So when you look on.
Speaker 5: Every sort of measure of those serious issues that needed
Speaker 5: to be discussed and resolved with China during this visit,
Speaker 5: it didn't kind of happen. But you know, romantic strolls
Speaker 5: along the Great Wall tick.
Speaker 1: Now, the handsome boy from Australia is so scared of
Speaker 1: offending China to its military intimidation, puniative tariffs and lack
Speaker 1: of investigation into the origins of COVID, and at the
Speaker 1: same time has been stronger in his condemnation of the
Speaker 1: United States. Beijing served up panda diplomacy this week and
Speaker 1: Albo fell for the red communist lights. Secondly, that brings
Speaker 1: me to the elephant in the room. The Prime Minister
Speaker 1: still has not been able to secure a meeting with
Speaker 1: US President Donald Trump at a time when our alliance
Speaker 1: is being tested. Now we are in the middle of
Speaker 1: Operation Talisman Saber here in Australia, preparing our military and
Speaker 1: those of our closest allies for any future conflict with China,
Speaker 1: and Albo is cuddling up to Pandas and I thought
Speaker 1: these comments from a US Air Force official were very telling.
Speaker 6: What we're seeking is a world that is rule based order,
Speaker 6: where the Asia Pacific is safe and secure.
Speaker 1: And compare that with the optics of albow whining and
Speaker 1: dining with our greatest strategic threat all week, who could
Speaker 1: not give a toss about a rule based order. And
Speaker 1: it's now four meetings of course with China, and none
Speaker 1: with Donald Trump. Thirdly, of course, the cost of living
Speaker 1: crisis in this country remains. Our energy bills jump ten
Speaker 1: percent on July one, despite Labour telling us our bills
Speaker 1: would go down under the renewables only fantasy. Major renewables
Speaker 1: projects are crumbling day by day. The sector is plagued
Speaker 1: by delays and cancelations, and it's causing irreparable self harm
Speaker 1: via an experiment of transmission lines, giant wind turbines, green
Speaker 1: hydrogen solar farms and batteries, and you and I are
Speaker 1: paying for it. Meanwhile, Big Australia is getting bigger arrival
Speaker 1: surge to over thirty three thousand in May. That was
Speaker 1: the highest May net arrival number on record, and if
Speaker 1: current trends continue, net permanent and long term arrivals could
Speaker 1: reach almost six hundred thousand by December. I mean, where
Speaker 1: we got I put all these people? Treasury says Labour's
Speaker 1: target of building one point two million homes between twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four and twenty nine will not be met. So
Speaker 1: Labour's failed to deliver a single housing target, yet ramps
Speaker 1: up migration. Meanwhile, unemployment has risen, the RBA is unconvinced
Speaker 1: that inflation is under control, and Labour's solution to all
Speaker 1: this is a productivity talk fest next month, which brings
Speaker 1: me to the fourth issue, tax reform. Now there's no
Speaker 1: doubt Labor is buttering us up. These leaked Treasury documents
Speaker 1: are rarely accidentally leaked, but according to leaked Treasury advice,
Speaker 1: Labor has been advised the budget cannot be fixed without
Speaker 1: raising taxes and cutting spending. Now we've been warning about
Speaker 1: Labour's excessive spending for some time, but this advice from
Speaker 1: Treasury would have been well known before we all went
Speaker 1: to the polls. So it's all well and good for
Speaker 1: Labour to announce a productivity round table and use it
Speaker 1: by stealth for inevitable higher taxes. In fact four, what
Speaker 1: a Treasury boss Ken Henry told the National Press Club
Speaker 1: this week. Unless there is more spending discipline, there's only
Speaker 1: two options increase taxes or grow the economy faster.
Speaker 7: If we continue on that trajectory, as we said in
Speaker 7: two thousand and two, we will have no option but
Speaker 7: to raise taxes, and quite significantly, by several percentage points
Speaker 7: of GDP. So that's the other side of the budget story.
Speaker 7: Or cut spending or cut spending.
Speaker 1: And don't forget Labour's already leaving us with a trillion
Speaker 1: dollars of debt and the only way out is higher
Speaker 1: taxes or rapidly growing the economy. Labour has already started
Speaker 1: with super tax targeting unrealized gains, so let's see what's
Speaker 1: next under the guise of a productivity roundtable. Then, of course,
Speaker 1: there are ongoing issues playing the childcare sector amid allegations
Speaker 1: of sexual abuse, the Envoys special report into anti Semitism,
Speaker 1: which looks set to sit on Albo's desk for months,
Speaker 1: and now we hear About's latest push to censor the Internet.
Speaker 1: Will soon to have to hand over our ID just
Speaker 1: to do a basic Google search. So look, let's hope
Speaker 1: the Liberal Party are done with talking about themselves, bickering
Speaker 1: over gender quotas and preselection, and finally start holding this
Speaker 1: government to account well. The UK Labor Government has announced
Speaker 1: plans to allow sixteen and seventeen year olds to vote
Speaker 1: in general elections. Nothing screams you're a done of a
Speaker 1: party than wanting to lower the voting age just to
Speaker 1: get votes.
Speaker 8: I think it's really important that sixteen or seventeen year
Speaker 8: olds have the votes because they're old enough to go
Speaker 8: out to work, they're old enough to pay taxes, so
Speaker 8: to pay in, and I think if you pay in,
Speaker 8: you should have the opportunity to say what you want
Speaker 8: your money spent on.
Speaker 1: Where you want your money spent on. How much money
Speaker 1: does Keir Starmer think sixteen and seventeen year old earn.
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but when I was working
Speaker 1: at the two dollars shop when I was sixteen, I
Speaker 1: was blowing my basic casual rate each week on food, movies,
Speaker 1: clothes and having fun and emphasis there on having fun,
Speaker 1: which brings me to the main point. Sixteen year olds
Speaker 1: don't have the life experience, understanding of issues in the
Speaker 1: country and knowledge of the political system, and why would
Speaker 1: they You're trying to navigate your final exams, and the
Speaker 1: biggest issue you have to navigate is friendship groups and
Speaker 1: school crushes. Now, obviously that's not the case for every team,
Speaker 1: but you get the point. But just by giving them
Speaker 1: a vote doesn't mean that they're going to go and
Speaker 1: try and understand how politics works. I mean, this is
Speaker 1: simply a way for left wing governments to rig the
Speaker 1: system and grab votes by getting more left wing voters in.
Speaker 1: Young people typically don't turn out like parties hope in
Speaker 1: elections as it is, and we certainly don't need a
Speaker 1: whole new class of left wing activists. So I'm sure
Speaker 1: it won't surprise you to hear that right on que
Speaker 1: the Greens here in Australia want the exact same. Senator
Speaker 1: Jordan's Steel John tweeted, great to see the UK lowering
Speaker 1: the voting age to sixteen. The Greens reckon it's time
Speaker 1: for Australia to give sixteen and seventeen year olds the
Speaker 1: right to vote. I first introduced a private senator's bill
Speaker 1: to lower the voting age to sixteen back in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 1: Young people deserve to have a say over their future
Speaker 1: at the ballot box. Let's get this done, and well, look,
Speaker 1: of course the Greens would love to get young lefties
Speaker 1: in and let's not forget some of the biggest political
Speaker 1: movements by teenagers around the world, like the student strikes
Speaker 1: for climate action.
Speaker 9: I just don't know if they're going to do anything.
Speaker 9: And I just I'm so concerned with the fact that
Speaker 9: if they're not going to change anything, and what's going
Speaker 9: to happen to human crime, What's going to happen to
Speaker 9: el what's going to happen to the whole world if
Speaker 9: no one does anything.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they're all being encouraged by this other team.
Speaker 3: Old dare you hold?
Speaker 10: Dare you hold?
Speaker 11: Dare you?
Speaker 1: God? Help us? Please let kids be kids. Well, let's
Speaker 1: return out to the Prime Minister's China trip. He's due
Speaker 1: back in Australia later this evening. Now today, he released
Speaker 1: a statement saying this visit marks another important step in
Speaker 1: the Australia China relationship. A stable and constructive relationship with
Speaker 1: China is in Australia's national interest. We will cooperate where
Speaker 1: we can, disagree where we must, and engage in our
Speaker 1: national interest. And this is a line that is peddled
Speaker 1: out all week.
Speaker 3: We cooperate where we can, we disagree where we must,
Speaker 3: we disagree where we must. We'll cooperate where we can,
Speaker 3: disagree where we must, but engage in our national interest.
Speaker 1: Let's bring in liberal MP Aaron Violi. Now, Aaron, it's
Speaker 1: good to see you. Thank you very much for joining
Speaker 1: me on the show. The Prime Minister keeps repeating this
Speaker 1: line over and over, but what does he actually disagree
Speaker 1: with Beijing on.
Speaker 10: Hey, Danica, it's great to be with you, and it's
Speaker 10: a good question. There are significant advantages to our relationship
Speaker 10: with China, particularly economically, and I think it's important we
Speaker 10: always acknowledge that my community, it's a big tourism area,
Speaker 10: the Ara Valley, and obviously wine is a big part
Speaker 10: of my community, so there is benefits economically. But we
Speaker 10: should never sell out our country or our national interests,
Speaker 10: and we need to stand firm and we've seen this
Speaker 10: week that it appears the Prime Minister has not done that.
Speaker 10: When it comes to the Port of Darwin. We know
Speaker 10: that he rushed out that announcement during the campaign by
Speaker 10: ringing the radio station to get ahead.
Speaker 1: Of Peter Dutton's announcement.
Speaker 10: So we need to see real tangible action when it
Speaker 10: comes to the Port of Darwin and those live fire exercises.
Speaker 10: What we don't know is did he address with the
Speaker 10: Jijiping not just the circumnavigation and the exercises, but also
Speaker 10: the notification Virgin Airlines private commercial Airlines had to notify
Speaker 10: Australian officials about that happening. So there's a lot that
Speaker 10: he hasn't given us detail on. You obviously enjoyed the
Speaker 10: pandas paid homage to GoF Whitlam's idol We're going on
Speaker 10: the Great Wall. It was a bit of a tourism
Speaker 10: into his trip, which really was indulged in, as my
Speaker 10: colleague Senator Patterson said, But he hasn't given us any
Speaker 10: details on those tough conversations that need to be had.
Speaker 1: No, and judging by the press conferences, he has pushed
Speaker 1: time and time again by the reporters. But it's like
Speaker 1: he couldn't even say boo to Shijing Ping. So let's
Speaker 1: see what happens when Parliament resumes next week. I'm sure
Speaker 1: the opposition will take him to task. Now I want
Speaker 1: to ask you about the unemployment rate. It's risen to
Speaker 1: four point three percent for the month of June from
Speaker 1: four point one percent. That's the highest it's been in
Speaker 1: three and a half years. Treasurer Jim Chalmers today blamed
Speaker 1: external factors for the increase and Donald Trump's tariffs. Have
Speaker 1: a listen.
Speaker 6: There is a real sense that this volatility and unpredictability
Speaker 6: and uncertainty is really a defining and an ongoing feature
Speaker 6: of the global economy, and our own economy is not
Speaker 6: immune from that.
Speaker 1: Aaron Labour love to blame everything on external factors, but
Speaker 1: this happens when electricity bills are through the roof, when
Speaker 1: red tape and I our laws make it impossible for employers.
Speaker 1: You've got unions with their fingers in every pie. Why
Speaker 1: would you want to go into business right now in
Speaker 1: the country? Were you shocked by the figures?
Speaker 10: The figures were very concerning And as you said, Danika,
Speaker 10: this is classic Jim Charmers. If you watch and listen
Speaker 10: to his economic narrative over the last three and a
Speaker 10: half years, everything that is good in the economy, whenever
Speaker 10: there's a great number, it's because of the inverted commas, sarcasm,
Speaker 10: brilliance of Jim Charmers and Anthony Alberizi. And every time
Speaker 10: something goes wrong it's external factors or he blames the
Speaker 10: former government. He does not take responsibility for any of
Speaker 10: the challenges that we face. But these numbers are concerning
Speaker 10: when you overlay this with the most growth that we've
Speaker 10: had in the jobs market in the last three years
Speaker 10: has been a non market sector jobs around eighty three percent.
Speaker 10: I believe the private sector just doesn't have the confidence
Speaker 10: to invest. And as you said, there's many factors, higher
Speaker 10: economic energy prices, industrial relations. Businesses are up not prepared
Speaker 10: to invest in the private market and that's leading this
Speaker 10: softness in the job figures. And when I speak to community,
Speaker 10: you know, small businesses, large businesses in my community, they're
Speaker 10: just not sure what the future holds, and they have
Speaker 10: no confidence that this government has any solutions at the
Speaker 10: real source level to the economic challenges that we face.
Speaker 1: No, very very clear, aaron I mentioned. Of course, Parliament
Speaker 1: returns next week for the first time since Labor was
Speaker 1: elected was re elected back in May. What is on
Speaker 1: the coalition's agenda.
Speaker 10: Well, some really important things that we need to address.
Speaker 10: And obviously we were all shocked and disgusted by the
Speaker 10: allegations that were made against a childcare worker here in Victoria.
Speaker 10: So the Government of forecasts that they're going to have
Speaker 10: a new piece of legislation around child safety, we will
Speaker 10: scrutinize that in great detail to make sure that he
Speaker 10: is actually going to make a tangible difference to keep
Speaker 10: children safe, and also make sure that it's implemented sooner
Speaker 10: rather than later. We cannot afford to have a moment
Speaker 10: where symbolically it looks good and it doesn't actually make
Speaker 10: a difference. So that will be an important piece of
Speaker 10: legislation that we will scrutinize and work with the government
Speaker 10: if it is good legislation and look to strengthen it
Speaker 10: if we need to. Obviously the economy we've seen unemployment,
Speaker 10: but housing is another issue that we will look to
Speaker 10: question the government on their plans. That leak document which
Speaker 10: I think we all know and we all think is
Speaker 10: really softening the Australian people up around the tax but
Speaker 10: also around the deficits and housing. You know, it's clear
Speaker 10: that they're going to completely miss the one point two
Speaker 10: million housing target, which is going to continue to push
Speaker 10: prices up for housing. So we'll look to hold them
Speaker 10: to account when it comes to the economy and also housing,
Speaker 10: because as I said, they spin all the positives, but
Speaker 10: Jim Chalmers doesn't have any solutions for the Australian people.
Speaker 1: No, that's it. They haven't achieved not one housing target yet.
Speaker 1: Migration is rising and rising. A huge week ahead in Parliament.
Speaker 1: Aaron Violi, good to see you. Thank you very much
Speaker 1: for joining me on the show this evening. Really appreciate it. Well,
Speaker 1: it's seriously difficult to understand what Anthony Albanezi stands for
Speaker 1: and who he represents. Now. One thing that really stuck
Speaker 1: out for me this week from his trip to China
Speaker 1: was that he stood in front of three flags at
Speaker 1: his press conferences, the Australian, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island
Speaker 1: of flags. I just think this is a bizarre image.
Speaker 1: You've got the leader of the country going to another
Speaker 1: country and standing in front of three flags when he's
Speaker 1: there to represent one country and that's Australia. Joining me
Speaker 1: now to discuss this and more is Warren Mundine, the
Speaker 1: Indigenous Forum director at the Center for Independent Studies. Warren,
Speaker 1: thank you so much for joining me. You've even got
Speaker 1: the Aussie flag on your lapel. Right now.
Speaker 12: I'm not at the Center for Independent Studies anymore.
Speaker 1: Sorry, apologize?
Speaker 12: Did that's all right?
Speaker 6: Hell?
Speaker 12: Look, we have one national flag. We have one nation flag.
Speaker 12: The Torres Strada Islander flag is a flag for Tyres
Speaker 12: Straight Islanders. The Aboriginal flag. I'm an Aboriginal person. It
Speaker 12: is our flag, you know. I love that flag. I
Speaker 12: think it's brilliant. But we're all Australians. He's the Prime
Speaker 12: Minister of Australians. We have one national flag and that's
Speaker 12: the only flag that he should be standing with internationally
Speaker 12: and even at home. Now he may have an event
Speaker 12: with Aboriginal people, sure, but or Greek people, other people.
Speaker 12: But we have one national flag and that's what we
Speaker 12: should be focusing on.
Speaker 1: Did you think it was strange seeing that the image
Speaker 1: of him at the press conferences. I mean, he's over
Speaker 1: there representing our country is in China, standing in front
Speaker 1: of three flags.
Speaker 12: Did you think the optics were just off, the obstacles
Speaker 12: was off, but also the sentiment was off. You know
Speaker 12: what really makes me angry is like those people who
Speaker 12: live in Brunswick and they have little signs on their
Speaker 12: doors saying, oh we live on stolen land. Well my
Speaker 12: argument is, if you live on stolen land, give the
Speaker 12: bloody land back and stop virtuals the government. We have
Speaker 12: a lot of problems in Australia at the moment. We've
Speaker 12: seen that the problems in regional remode Australian regard the
Speaker 12: crime rates we're seeing about it, unemployment, rates of services,
Speaker 12: education and everything like that. If he was fair dicome
Speaker 12: about the flag and everything like that, he would actually
Speaker 12: be doing something about it.
Speaker 1: But they're not.
Speaker 12: That's what makes me even wilder. One that's an insult.
Speaker 12: He should be out there standing out there under the
Speaker 12: Australian flag and that's it. We've got our one national
Speaker 12: flag and we're all Australians. That's our flag. He should
Speaker 12: be not going out there virtually singing and actually doing nothing.
Speaker 12: All he did was the voice and did nothing else.
Speaker 1: Well, I just think it's identity politics on steroids. But
Speaker 1: my concern is, realistically, is this ever going to change
Speaker 1: the Coalition pledge? You remember that was one of their
Speaker 1: policies was should Peter Dunton be elected, that he would
Speaker 1: only stand in front of one flag. But Labor loved
Speaker 1: the identity politics. They love that these sorts of things
Speaker 1: that there are. Realistically, nothing's going to change.
Speaker 12: Because the diverting from the real issue the relationship is,
Speaker 12: We've got to get jobs in average communities. We've got
Speaker 12: to get health services moving, we've got to get kids
Speaker 12: to school, we've got to get them educated and get
Speaker 12: them through universities. We've got to get people into have
Speaker 12: an economic future for themselves and their families and safe communities.
Speaker 12: Little the crime rates and everything that's happening in these communities,
Speaker 12: and that's the real issue. So but rather than doing that,
Speaker 12: why don't I just stand in front of the free flags.
Speaker 12: That's where just show how good I am.
Speaker 1: Exactly whare are the priorities? Now, I've got to share
Speaker 1: this one with you. Council bureaucrats on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula
Speaker 1: have revolted against emotion that would see the Australian flag
Speaker 1: make the most prominent position on official documents, instead arguing
Speaker 1: that spin doctors they did the last word to decide
Speaker 1: if it was culturally safe. Now, I'm going to show
Speaker 1: you this example of what one of the flyers looks like.
Speaker 1: Right now, it's got the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags,
Speaker 1: and then you've got one representing intersex groups like gays, lesbians,
Speaker 1: a trans community, I mean, give me a break, seriously,
Speaker 1: but here's the thing. An updated flag policy to be
Speaker 1: considered by the Council next week include the clause that
Speaker 1: gives the Shires Communications Team the last word on deciding
Speaker 1: whether or not to actually include the Australian flag in
Speaker 1: printed material for diverse communities, including Aboriginal communities. Where do
Speaker 1: we even start with this?
Speaker 12: This is just a joke. It's something it's never heard of,
Speaker 12: such nonsense. You know what they hate us. This is
Speaker 12: the same we have every year annually about Australia Days.
Speaker 12: We should be all coming together and be proud of
Speaker 12: this nation. This nation is the best nation in the world.
Speaker 12: Sorry Donald Trump. It is the best it is and
Speaker 12: it is because we've brought all these different people from
Speaker 12: all over the world. And we have our indigenous people, yes,
Speaker 12: but we've brought all these other people with millions of
Speaker 12: them here and they've worked hard and they've made this world,
Speaker 12: this country, a better place, and we're building this incredible
Speaker 12: democracy and liberal democracy of freedoms and treating everyone equal.
Speaker 12: And then we have these clowns. You know, they said, oh,
Speaker 12: look it's trigger.
Speaker 13: You know, it's a trigger that me.
Speaker 1: Come on, if you're upset about that.
Speaker 12: What happens if you see the Japanese flag? You crying
Speaker 12: and rolling around the ground everywhere. For God's sake, grow up, bluddy.
Speaker 12: This is Australia. Do your job, look at the rates
Speaker 12: and rubbish and servicing the people of y area and making
Speaker 12: sure it's got a nice art gallery and a library
Speaker 12: and everything like that, rather than rolling around in the
Speaker 12: grass triggered by the Australian flag.
Speaker 13: Give me a right.
Speaker 1: Oh, it's just ridiculous your spot on. Go back to
Speaker 1: Rhodes rates and rubbish. I'm sick of these councils meddling
Speaker 1: in politics and affairs. It's just absolutely ridiculous. Or and
Speaker 1: my dad. Good to see you as always. Thank you
Speaker 1: and as I said, I love that pin on your lapel.
Speaker 1: It's absolutely perfect, so thanks for bringing it. You're an
Speaker 1: Aussie light the rest of us. Thank you so much more,
Speaker 1: and good to see you for coming up. After the break,
Speaker 1: my panel will join me to discuss whether it's time
Speaker 1: for Mark Latham to quit politics once and for all.
Speaker 1: That's next, Welcome back. Well. Details of former Labor leader
Speaker 1: Mark Latham's personal life have been made public this week
Speaker 1: and it is very messy, but some of it relates
Speaker 1: to him allegedly taking COVID photos of female colleagues in
Speaker 1: New South Wales Parliament, where he then made critical remarks
Speaker 1: about their appearance. Here's the latest.
Speaker 14: The former partner of Mark Latham, Natalie Matthews, alleges he
Speaker 14: borrowed twenty thousand dollars from her on four occasions without
Speaker 14: promptory payment. The Daily Telegraph is reporting the former Federal
Speaker 14: Labor and New South Wales One Nation leader sent an
Speaker 14: invoice to Matthews where he threatened to throw her possessions
Speaker 14: in a dam and invoiced her for accommodation at his house.
Speaker 14: The businesswoman and Liberal Party member has applied for an
Speaker 14: AVO against mister Latham. She alleges he engaged in a
Speaker 14: sustained pattern of abuse against her and forced her into
Speaker 14: degrading sexual acts. He denies the allegations. Questions have been
Speaker 14: raised about whether mister Latham should have declared the payments
Speaker 14: on his parliamentary register. State MPs are required to declare
Speaker 14: loans and gifts exceeding five hundred dollars, but they did
Speaker 14: not need to disclose money owed to a relative, which
Speaker 14: includes a de facto partner. Mister Latham posted on x
Speaker 14: to say the invoices were an inside joke. He said
Speaker 14: Matthews used to joke if we ever broke up, I
Speaker 14: would throw her stuff in the dam on my property
Speaker 14: on the joke invoice. Yes, that's still an in joke.
Speaker 14: Then he poked fun at the journalist who wrote the story.
Speaker 14: He said, I can guarantee you in her contact with me,
Speaker 14: Matthews was way ahead financially, miles ahead, he said. As
Speaker 14: for my parliamentary declarations, they're entirely in order. Earlier this week,
Speaker 14: it was revealed mister Latham had taken photos of some
Speaker 14: of his female parliamentary colleagues commenting on their weight and age,
Speaker 14: had sexed it Matthews while sitting in the Parliamentary chamber,
Speaker 14: and had allegedly used his parliamentary office to record a
Speaker 14: sex tape.
Speaker 1: Jomie now Is Skye News contributor Tina McQueen and former
Speaker 1: New South Wales police minister David Elliot. High to both
Speaker 1: of you, thank you for joining me. Look, Tina, goodness mate,
Speaker 1: is it time now for Mark Latham to leave politics altogether?
Speaker 1: The gift that keeps on giving, I know. Look I'm
Speaker 1: not sure about that.
Speaker 15: I'm a bit of a you know, I don't really
Speaker 15: not interested in all them. What people do in their videoms,
Speaker 15: I couldn't care les, But the photographs of Susan Carr
Speaker 15: and others I find really objectionable. Susan is a wonderful,
Speaker 15: wonderful person, highly intelligent, and great.
Speaker 1: Asset to the Upper House. I think that was disgraceful.
Speaker 1: He apologized.
Speaker 15: She graciously accepted his apology. But look, I'm not going
Speaker 15: to defend Mark Latham in any way, shape or form.
Speaker 1: But I had a call from a.
Speaker 15: Journalist today wanting me to confirm something he'd been told which.
Speaker 1: Was utterly outrageous.
Speaker 15: So there are some miss truths and exaggerations out there
Speaker 15: about Mark. I'm not saying all of it, but in
Speaker 15: this particular case, I know it's one hundred percent fabrication.
Speaker 15: So I think everyone's sort of milking off the story now.
Speaker 15: But look, let the public judge next election when he's up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, good point, But I think got a couple of
Speaker 1: years less. Yeah, he's still got I think he's got
Speaker 1: six years left, so I mean, who knows. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a long time. And look, I agree with you I
Speaker 1: think whatever goes on in his private life not my business,
Speaker 1: nobody's business, but I thought it was interesting. David the
Speaker 1: acting New South Wales Liberal leader, Damien Tudorhope, came out yesterday.
Speaker 1: He could have used it as an opportunity to cut
Speaker 1: ties with Mark Latham. Instead he said that he would
Speaker 1: be happy to work with him and get his support.
Speaker 1: Obviously the Liberals need it. If this was any other workplace,
Speaker 1: Mark Latham would have been sacked already. Why are the
Speaker 1: Libs in your South Whales so scared?
Speaker 2: It's very disappointing. I mean because at the end of
Speaker 2: the day, everybody in Parliament gets tird with this brush.
Speaker 2: And the tragedy is that when you go into public
Speaker 2: life in twenty twenty five, there is no private life.
Speaker 2: I mean I've had I had private investigators out the
Speaker 2: front of my house for weeks because people thought that
Speaker 2: I was up to no good during COVID and I
Speaker 2: was having parties and the like. But this has brought
Speaker 2: the entire parliament and distribute I'm very disappointed. I wish
Speaker 2: Mark Speakman was not on leave because he would not
Speaker 2: be treating this issue the same way that Damian Teudehab
Speaker 2: is I think Damien Chudehape needs to review his life,
Speaker 2: which and I want to know, of course, why Mark
Speaker 2: has only apologized to Susan Carter and not to the
Speaker 2: other women that he's insulted and Lennie pet Noos to
Speaker 2: to to Rose Jackson, to to Penny Sharp. I mean,
Speaker 2: I know all of these women very well and they
Speaker 2: don't deserve to be treated the way that that Mark
Speaker 2: has treated. And I think and Damien Tudap is essentially
Speaker 2: hand Pitt who gets an apology when he said that
Speaker 2: when he arranged for when he arranged for Mark to
Speaker 2: make an apology to Susan Carter, and that's that's just
Speaker 2: not on and it's we've got a women problem in
Speaker 2: the Liberal party where it's not going to be making
Speaker 2: things easy.
Speaker 15: I didn't realize that, and that's disgraceful damon to you
Speaker 15: hope to do that and really disappoints me that he
Speaker 15: would do that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean one hand, he came out was strong
Speaker 1: against Mark Latham, but on the other hand he could
Speaker 1: have used it to cut ties and he didn't yesterday.
Speaker 1: It's just it's it's very very weak.
Speaker 15: Behave to speaker should come out of his holiday or whatever.
Speaker 1: Well, it's strong enough to get up.
Speaker 2: The door's been damaged so badly that it does justify
Speaker 2: him coming in. I mean, we've all been on holidays
Speaker 2: when we shouldn't have, you know. But he, you know,
Speaker 2: when you're in the leadership position like this, and I
Speaker 2: know Mark well enough to know he will be horrified.
Speaker 2: Not only will be horrified at what's happened and the
Speaker 2: way his colleagues are being treated, but I reckon he'll
Speaker 2: be horrified the way Damian tu tapes will Well.
Speaker 1: I don't know that. David. He's got to speak up.
Speaker 1: He's got to speak up. No great, Look, let's move on.
Speaker 1: The UK government has announced plans to allow sixteen and
Speaker 1: seventeen year olds to vote in general elections. Nothing Screens,
Speaker 1: you're a done of a party than having to lower
Speaker 1: the voting age. But the Greens want it here now.
Speaker 1: The Senator Jordan steel John says, great to see the
Speaker 1: UK lowering the voting age. It's time for Australia to
Speaker 1: follow suit. Tina, sixteen seventeen year olds, what do you think?
Speaker 10: Oh?
Speaker 15: Of course the Greens wanted that's that's their base. Look,
Speaker 15: it's crazy, you know, so many things they can't do
Speaker 15: at sixteen, but it should not be something they should
Speaker 15: be able to do.
Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. What next ten twelve? Crazy? We don't left
Speaker 1: wing alabus? Yeah, yeah, you know what do you think, David?
Speaker 2: Well, the country is that have got sixteen year old
Speaker 2: voting are not the countries that necessarily we want emulate.
Speaker 2: And my view is you shouldn't be able to vote
Speaker 2: until you're of adult age. And we've society has said
Speaker 2: that you can join the army at eighteen, or you
Speaker 2: can certainly get deployed at eighteen. You pay tax were
Speaker 2: you're responsible for your tax obligations at eighteen, and I
Speaker 2: think you're just a little bit more mature at eighteen.
Speaker 2: But yeah, this is a desperate vote grab from the left.
Speaker 2: W and the next I wanted at fourteen, Well, I.
Speaker 1: Mean we're going to have a Greta Thumberg's voting next,
Speaker 1: you know, that sort of climate catastrophes of teenagers. This
Speaker 1: is my certain concern. Now, look, I don't profess to
Speaker 1: be an expert in art. Let me just say, but
Speaker 1: can someone please explain this to me? A highly controversial
Speaker 1: bright blue sculpture depicting a mythical megafauna creature known by
Speaker 1: locals as the Blue Blob, has been unveiled in the
Speaker 1: center of Mount Gambia in South Australia, with a price
Speaker 1: tag of one hundred and thirty six thousand. Tina, look,
Speaker 1: I thought it was a pregnant at kinda kidder. I
Speaker 1: don't know what that is, but one hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: six grand on that first look I thought was something
Speaker 1: very normal.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but not.
Speaker 15: The ridiculous amount of money to be spent. Yeah, honestly,
Speaker 15: I'm sure there's going to be lots of complaints to
Speaker 15: counsel about this. It's crazy money. If it's something that
Speaker 15: doesn't really represent the area, it's something in your imagination,
Speaker 15: you know exactly.
Speaker 1: Well, it's art's up to it. Well, art is up
Speaker 1: to interpretation, that they say.
Speaker 15: But that when there's potholes and all sorts of things
Speaker 15: in it y area, you want those vixed first.
Speaker 1: Absolutely. What do you think of this? Well, what it is?
Speaker 2: I think local councils, the local government do have a
Speaker 2: role in the arts. I mean, Jeremy Barthurs, the Newcastle
Speaker 2: City Council has done a great lot of work over
Speaker 2: many years making sure that Newcastle is scene is an
Speaker 2: art center. But one hundred and thirty six thousand dollars
Speaker 2: is a ridiculous amount of money for a council to
Speaker 2: pay when I'm.
Speaker 1: Pretty sure that there would be a bridge or.
Speaker 2: A pothole in the LGA that needs to be addressed.
Speaker 2: So I mean, if I were spending that percentage, a
Speaker 2: smaller percentage of that money on promoting local artists, community artists, fantastic.
Speaker 2: It's very appropriate and all the best to the mayor
Speaker 2: and the CEO of the council, but this is probably
Speaker 2: going to have a lot of constituents turn their head.
Speaker 1: Where are the priorities on a blue blob? For goodness sake? Please? Now,
Speaker 1: A Sydney dad has failed in his legal bid to
Speaker 1: force his employer to let him work from home twice
Speaker 1: a week so he could help take care of his
Speaker 1: school age children. Sydney father, Paul Collins, a technical specialist,
Speaker 1: lodge an application with the Fair Work Commission seeking flexible
Speaker 1: working arrangements, citing the need to care for his eight
Speaker 1: year old and ten year old and a need for
Speaker 1: work life balance. The Fair Work Commission disagreed. Tina, Look,
Speaker 1: I understand a work life balance, but come on, what
Speaker 1: does he expect, seriously, go to work and feedure kids.
Speaker 15: You know, you can't have it all. It's this whole
Speaker 15: stay at home thing isn't absolute.
Speaker 7: Conn.
Speaker 15: I think they've made the right decision and he should
Speaker 15: go back to work and not pick and choose when
Speaker 15: he wants to stay at home and suppose they care.
Speaker 1: For the kids. But the fact he took at the
Speaker 1: Fair Work Commission as well, you know, I mean, doesn't
Speaker 1: that put a red mark against your name from the
Speaker 1: beginner You're not meant to but you know, come, well, seriously.
Speaker 2: Well, I think I think you're right to think. I mean,
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, I'm agnostic about work
Speaker 2: from home. I've done it, I've got staff to do it.
Speaker 2: It seems to work in certain circumstances. But he lost
Speaker 2: me on two days for work life balance. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 2: if it was work life balance, I'd say to my boss,
Speaker 2: I have to work from home five days a week
Speaker 2: because clearly I'm not getting enough life.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the Commission made the right decision on this. Unfortunately,
Speaker 2: that probably for the legitimate candidates for work from home
Speaker 2: have been put back because of this decision, because the
Speaker 2: prese has been said, so he has not done anybody
Speaker 2: any favors.
Speaker 1: No, he certainly hasn't. I don't know why people keep complaining.
Speaker 1: For goodness sake, he got to work. You know, what
Speaker 1: do you do? It is, It's the way of life.
Speaker 1: Tina A Queen David Elliott, have a great weekend. Thank
Speaker 1: you so much for both joining me. I appreciate it well.
Speaker 1: Coming up after the break, Israel apologizes for a strike
Speaker 1: on Garza's only Catholic church. Plus the White House addresses
Speaker 1: rumors about Donald Trump's health. That's next, welcome back.
Speaker 11: Well.
Speaker 1: Israel says it deeply regrets it's a deadly strike on
Speaker 1: Gaza's only Catholic church which killed three people. A spokesperson
Speaker 1: for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanya who says Israel deeply regrets
Speaker 1: that astray ammunition hit Gaza's Holy Family Church. Every innocent
Speaker 1: life lost is a tragedy. Israel is investigating the incident
Speaker 1: and remains committed to protecting civilians and holy sites. Joining
Speaker 1: me now is Joel Bernie from the Australia Israel and
Speaker 1: Jewish Affairs Council. Thank you so much for John joining me. Joel.
Speaker 1: A terrible accident.
Speaker 16: It appears so Danika, it appears in the preliminary investigation
Speaker 16: that an errant fragment from a tank shell by accident
Speaker 16: has hit the only Catholic church in Gaza, causing damage
Speaker 16: to the building and also the loss of three innocent civilians.
Speaker 16: So through that preliminary investigation, we've had statements from the
Speaker 16: Prime Minister's Office in the Foreign Ministry expressing a regret
Speaker 16: over it, confirmation that Israel does not intend target these
Speaker 16: type of sites. And we'll continue the investigation with a
Speaker 16: more thorough, in depth look into things, and once they
Speaker 16: come to the conclusion of that investigation, I have no
Speaker 16: doubt that the results will be published.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Look, absolutely will be monitoring that one. Now back
Speaker 1: home now, I want to talk to you about the
Speaker 1: anti Semitism report. The Education Minister Jason Clair this week
Speaker 1: signaled that the government won't be moving quickly on the
Speaker 1: recommendations from Jillian Siegel's Anti Semitism report. This is what
Speaker 1: he said.
Speaker 4: We're considering it carefully.
Speaker 7: We've got to consult as part of that.
Speaker 12: I want to see what the Special Envoy on Islamophobia
Speaker 12: has to say as well.
Speaker 7: I think that's fair. I think that's the.
Speaker 1: Right thing to do joh. Once again we see the
Speaker 1: conflating of issues. But what is labor waiting for me?
Speaker 1: And have they not seen what's been happening in this
Speaker 1: country for almost two years.
Speaker 16: So, you know, just watching that clip over again and
Speaker 16: I'm well across what the Minister of Education has had
Speaker 16: to say over the past four eight hours, I still
Speaker 16: can't make heads or tails of it. So there are
Speaker 16: two very stark issues that we as the Jewish community
Speaker 16: have with mister Claire's position on this.
Speaker 13: The first is the delay. We have obviously seen an
Speaker 13: exponential spike in anti semitism since the events of October
Speaker 13: seven in this country. Multiple synagogues being burnt down, houses
Speaker 13: of community leaders being targeted, childcare centers, you name it,
Speaker 13: it's happened in this country when it comes to antisemitism.
Speaker 13: But for somehow or rather, there is an undue delay
Speaker 13: waiting for another report to come down before even the
Speaker 13: Education Minister is going to review what was a very
Speaker 13: comprehensive and detailed report released by Jillian Siegel the anti
Speaker 13: Semitism on Boy last week. So the delay within itself
Speaker 13: is perplexing. But again, this conflation between anti Semitism and
Speaker 13: Islamophobia is not only grossly inaccurate, it's grossly unfair to
Speaker 13: both Jews and Muslims.
Speaker 16: There's no doubt that Islamophobia is an issue in Australia
Speaker 16: in some sectors, but the issues of Islamophobia have nothing
Speaker 16: to do with antisemitism. So the idea that we would
Speaker 16: need to wait and see what the envoy, the homophobic
Speaker 16: envoy had to say about the antisemitism, antisemitism or report
Speaker 16: is bitterly disappointing and thoroughly perplexing. I will add that
Speaker 16: any political sleuth would sort of question as to whether
Speaker 16: or not mister Claire's comments are at odds with the
Speaker 16: Prime Minister, because they're definitely at odds with the Prime
Speaker 16: Minister's appointed antisemitism.
Speaker 1: On boy, Yeah, that is a really good point and
Speaker 1: just a shame. Now it looks like this report is
Speaker 1: going to be sitting on the Prime Minister's desk for
Speaker 1: months now. Meanwhile, once again we see the Australian Jewish
Speaker 1: community targeted time and time again, week in week out.
Speaker 1: Job Bernie, we have to leave it there. Really appreciate
Speaker 1: your time as always, Thanks very much for Johnny Show.
Speaker 1: US President Donald Trump has been diagnosed with a vein disorder.
Speaker 1: The White House disclosed of seventy nine year old's medical
Speaker 1: information after photos showed Trump with swollen ankles.
Speaker 17: In the effort of transparency, the President wanted me to
Speaker 17: share a note from his physician with all of you today.
Speaker 17: In recent weeks, President Trump noted mild swelling in his
Speaker 17: lower legs. Venus Doppler ultrasounds were performed and revealed chronic
Speaker 17: venus insufficiency AB nine, in common condition, particularly in individuals
Speaker 17: over the age of seventy.
Speaker 1: Joining me now is Sky News contributor Bo Davidson. Both
Speaker 1: thank you for joining me on the show. The White
Speaker 1: House says, this is a common condition. What more do
Speaker 1: we know about it?
Speaker 18: Yeah, it is pretty common. That's my understanding of it.
Speaker 18: You know, Trump is seventy nine years old. It's called
Speaker 18: chronic venous insufficiency, which is when the circulation in the
Speaker 18: blood to the legs doesn't, you know, act properly. However,
Speaker 18: it's not a bad condition. It doesn't mean thrombosis. It
Speaker 18: doesn't mean that there's sort of some sort of condition
Speaker 18: that affects the heart or the arterial veins and the
Speaker 18: things of that sort that are going to the brain
Speaker 18: and the heart. So it's a common condition and it
Speaker 18: is treatable. And I think you saw Caroline Levitt deliver
Speaker 18: that level of transparency from the podium, which is a
Speaker 18: lot more that I can say for the predecessor. Joe
Speaker 18: Biden is someone whose mental and physical condition were always
Speaker 18: in doubt, always in question, And I do have to
Speaker 18: question those doctors that treated Joe Biden, and I'd like
Speaker 18: for them to be subpoena to know are those doctors
Speaker 18: where they coerced to lie about Joe Biden's helf. This
Speaker 18: kind of transparency that we're seeing from Caroline Levitt and
Speaker 18: from Donald Trump, I think is amazing. It's what Americans want.
Speaker 18: We want to know what his health is like. We
Speaker 18: didn't get that in the past administration. So you know,
Speaker 18: kudos to Caroline Levitt for nipping this in the bud,
Speaker 18: addressing the situation and letting us know the president is
Speaker 18: in basically perfect health. He just had a couple of
Speaker 18: swollen ankles, and that means Verico's fans not a big deal.
Speaker 1: Oh look, absolutely better to be transparent unlike the previous administration. Now,
Speaker 1: bo Elon Musk has mocked Donald Trump's claim that files
Speaker 1: relating to the federal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein are a hoax.
Speaker 1: He's taken to X to say, Wow, amazing that Epstein
Speaker 1: killed himself and Galaane is in a FED prison for
Speaker 1: a hoax. Now, this is, of course, in response to
Speaker 1: Trump's attempts to deflect questions about the Epstein files by
Speaker 1: casting doubt on the authenticity of the documents. But bo
Speaker 1: just today, Trump says he's asked Attorney General Pam Bondi
Speaker 1: to produce any and all pertent grand jury testimony. So
Speaker 1: what does all this mean?
Speaker 18: Well, you know, Deniker, I was at the Turning Point
Speaker 18: USA Student Action Summit last weekn in Tampa, Florida. This
Speaker 18: is where a lot of young people, gen Z people
Speaker 18: come to learn from the issues of the day and
Speaker 18: from Megan Kelly to Tucker Carlson. This was the talk
Speaker 18: of the conference. People were not willing to let this
Speaker 18: go and I think for good reason. And the reason
Speaker 18: is the following is that Donald Trump promised transparency. We
Speaker 18: just talked about it with his medical condition, right, delivered
Speaker 18: the truth to the American people. If you've teased something
Speaker 18: like Pam Bondy has, oh, we've got thousands of hours
Speaker 18: of childborn. We've got these ledgers, and then you don't
Speaker 18: deliver them. It makes you look non transparent. Hillary Clinton
Speaker 18: deleted thousands and thousands of emails. You can't just delete
Speaker 18: this problem away. And so I believe when you look
Speaker 18: at the magabase, those who have supported Donald Trump, they
Speaker 18: want this same level of transparency, and they deserve it,
Speaker 18: because if Pam Bondy said, both in private and in public,
Speaker 18: there are thousands of hours of tapes, there's got to
Speaker 18: be a way of protecting the victims' identities while also saying, okay,
Speaker 18: are there clients in there? And then how about his accountant,
Speaker 18: how about his personal lawyer? Why are victims having to
Speaker 18: sue in civil court for information that we need? So
Speaker 18: I think Trump is right to nip this thing in
Speaker 18: the butt, as we just said, and make Pambody release
Speaker 18: the unsealed grand jury testimony because we deserve that, and
Speaker 18: let the American people make their minds up. If there's
Speaker 18: nothing there, let us see it, but don't tease us
Speaker 18: with something and not deliver on it. I think Pam
Speaker 18: Bondy and Donald Trump have a responsibility to everyone, to
Speaker 18: the American people, to deliver this information well.
Speaker 1: I've got to say, even here in Australia, we want
Speaker 1: to know what's in those files. So hopefully it's all released.
Speaker 12: Now.
Speaker 1: You mentioned Joe Biden's health earlier. The House Oversight Committee
Speaker 1: Chairman James Coma says that former Vice President Kamala Harrah
Speaker 1: and former First Lady Jill Biden should be subpoenaed in
Speaker 1: the panel's investigation into former President Joe Biden's mental capacity
Speaker 1: while in office. Bo you know, I suffice to say
Speaker 1: Americans deserve the truth about who knew what about Biden's
Speaker 1: mental capacity. They do.
Speaker 18: They deserve the truth about Epstein, they deserve the truth
Speaker 18: about JFK. They deserve the truth about Trump's health, and
Speaker 18: they deserve the truth about Joe Biden's health. And here's
Speaker 18: the problem. When you look at subpoenas with Jill Biden, COMMONL.
Speaker 18: Harris that should happen. Comer is onto something here. I
Speaker 18: think he's absolutely right to do it because the great
Speaker 18: doctor Jill Biden, Okay, she's not a medical doctor, will
Speaker 18: put that aside for a second, but she is a doctor.
Speaker 18: They made a point to tell us that time and
Speaker 18: time again she knew about her husband's mental health. I
Speaker 18: almost hold Jill Biden more accountable for this than anybody
Speaker 18: else because she knew it, but she was so greedy,
Speaker 18: so power hungry to keep her husband in power. She
Speaker 18: said nothing, she did nothing. And the same is true
Speaker 18: of Kamla Harris. Surely she knew about this, Surely she
Speaker 18: knew she was slipping, but she was the heir apparent.
Speaker 18: Right if Joe Biden became the president again, it would
Speaker 18: have fallen to Cakamon Harris because he might have resigned
Speaker 18: at some point, and Kamon Harris would have been the
Speaker 18: first female president of the United States. So you see both
Speaker 18: women here, and these positions were so greedy for power
Speaker 18: that they said and they did nothing. I want those
Speaker 18: doctor subpoena of Joe Biden's. I want Jill subpoena, and
Speaker 18: I want Kamala subpoena. And I believe truly that the
Speaker 18: conspiracy to keep Biden afloat, to keep this information under wraps,
Speaker 18: is as vile and as twisted and as sick as
Speaker 18: the as the effort to keep Donald Trump from staying
Speaker 18: in office or getting a second term. I believe it's
Speaker 18: honestly that bad, and the autopen as well, don't forget
Speaker 18: the autopen. I believe that's equally bad.
Speaker 1: Absolutely there is no doubt they own you and even
Speaker 1: corroborated this big cover up. Bo Davidson, good to say,
Speaker 1: thanks for joining me.
Speaker 18: My pleasure is always.
Speaker 1: Back in a moment with the winners and losers of
Speaker 1: the way, including a CEO caught in an awkward position
Speaker 1: with a colleague at a Coldplay concert. That's next, Welcome back.
Speaker 1: It is that time of the week where we sought
Speaker 1: the winners from the losers, and helping me to do
Speaker 1: that as always is Pru McSwain from Verb Communications. Prop Friday,
Speaker 1: Good to see how you've got two parts for your
Speaker 1: winners this week. Your first winner are two inspirational Aussie
Speaker 1: female golfers, Grace Kim and Minji Lee, who've both won majors.
Speaker 11: And the dream comes true Emmy and Grace Kim.
Speaker 2: N and Juliue battles the Texas.
Speaker 1: Womb and he and now she's a three time major champ.
Speaker 1: And your other winner is golfing champ Scott Scheffler, who
Speaker 1: spoke about the importance of family.
Speaker 19: If my golf ever started affecting my home life or
Speaker 19: whatever affected the relationship I have with my wife or
Speaker 19: with my son. You know that's gonna be the last
Speaker 19: day that I play out here for a living. You know,
Speaker 19: this is not the be all and all. This is
Speaker 19: not the most important thing in my life. And that's
Speaker 19: why I wrestle with why is this so important to me?
Speaker 19: Because you know, I would much rather be a great
Speaker 19: father than I would be a great golfer.
Speaker 1: I like his honesty.
Speaker 4: I love it, and I love the fact that, you know,
Speaker 4: he said he wouldn't put his career ahead of his family,
Speaker 4: which is just so nice and refreshing to have that
Speaker 4: kind of approach, even though of course he's a multi millionaires.
Speaker 4: I suppose that would help. But I just loved the
Speaker 4: fact that this guy really is a real deal. And
Speaker 4: of course the two girls, it's just lovely being a
Speaker 4: really crappy golfer.
Speaker 1: That I am.
Speaker 4: You know that pressure they must have been on to
Speaker 4: make those pas, those shots, and I just think, wow,
Speaker 4: good on them. It was just a bit of a
Speaker 4: nice highlight to a really ordinary week.
Speaker 1: I completely agree, and I just really found Scott Scheffler's
Speaker 1: honesty very refreshing, because you know, he's got so much money,
Speaker 1: all the money in the world, but you know, without
Speaker 1: love and family means it means absolutely nothing. So I
Speaker 1: think good on him. Well for my winter, I'm actually
Speaker 1: sticking with your sporting theme. I'm going with Donald Trump
Speaker 1: joining Chelsea on stage after they took out the feet
Speaker 1: for World Cup World Cup final. I have a look
Speaker 1: at this. I mean, imagine Joe Biden try to do that.
Speaker 1: He won't even be able to stand up. No what
Speaker 1: the hell was going on?
Speaker 4: But everyone loves a winner, and politicians I love the
Speaker 4: way they love associating themselves with sporting teams, but of
Speaker 4: course ours. You know, Albanezi was nowhere to be seen
Speaker 4: at the recent contest the State of Origin because he.
Speaker 1: Knew he was going to be booed.
Speaker 4: You know, he knew that that guy was going to
Speaker 4: get But Trump obviously just basking in it.
Speaker 1: And he's a winner. And twelve month anniversary as well
Speaker 1: of the assassination attempt, so what a difference twelve months fakes,
Speaker 1: But looks we're good on him.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 1: Your loser this week got the Prime Minister and his
Speaker 1: holiday in China? Was it a kiki trip? I was
Speaker 1: the honeymoon?
Speaker 4: Maybe it was a a pre honeymoon. Maybe you know, look,
Speaker 4: we all understood what was going on in this was
Speaker 4: a grooming propaganda exercised by the community Communist Chinese. And
Speaker 4: you think that he had no idea or he was
Speaker 4: a willing participant in this, which is the most horrifying
Speaker 4: thing that you know, they played him so well because
Speaker 4: they understood his character, the ego that he has, the
Speaker 4: fact that since he's won, he's just in another orbit
Speaker 4: where he just think, he thinks he's infallible. And you know,
Speaker 4: this whole business about Powderfinger and Paul Kelly smile on
Speaker 4: his face. I mean, it was quite sickening and sad
Speaker 4: to see that he's become such a sickophan and putting us.
Speaker 1: In danger, you know.
Speaker 4: And the thing is we all know that they will
Speaker 4: weaponize trade. Absolutely we upset them in any way and
Speaker 4: don't play ball. You know, the handsome boy has been wooed,
Speaker 4: so you know, so well by more idiot as well.
Speaker 1: All it takes pro apparently, is a banquet and a
Speaker 1: bit of the Chinese military band playing Osie songs and
Speaker 1: you've got Alvo, You've got and he's playing to it
Speaker 1: that the red Communist lights of China they're under you know,
Speaker 1: he's under their spell. I mean, look, it was fascical,
Speaker 1: really etically and in all of his comments as well
Speaker 1: in the press conference as he held what did he
Speaker 1: actually raise? Was he serious? Because it just to me
Speaker 1: it was like he was scared to say boom yep.
Speaker 4: I mean he was done like a dinner at the banquets.
Speaker 6: Wasn't he?
Speaker 1: And you know, you're just like a dumpling.
Speaker 4: You know, he did the b peaking dark in terms
Speaker 4: of trying to bring up anything icky and nasty. I
Speaker 4: mean it was just cringe worthy. And you know he's
Speaker 4: had this holiday. I know he's going to come back
Speaker 4: and bask in it all. We just need one thing
Speaker 4: to happen that will upset the Chinese and their true
Speaker 4: colors will show again.
Speaker 1: Well, look, Parliament resumes next week, so let's see how
Speaker 1: he goes under pressure. And I'm sure that the coalition,
Speaker 1: the opposition, they'll certainly be taking him to task as
Speaker 1: they should be. Now look my loser of the week,
Speaker 1: Now this is hilarious. The CEO of an AI software company, astronomer.
Speaker 1: His name is Andy Byron. He's my loser of the
Speaker 1: week because he was caught allegedly having an affair with
Speaker 1: his HR manager on the kiss camp at a Coldplay concert.
Speaker 1: Have a look at the o.
Speaker 4: Either they're having an affair.
Speaker 1: Or they're just shut. Oh dearie me. I mean, you
Speaker 1: think you're safe at a Coldplay concert, prove but apparently
Speaker 1: you are not if you get caught on the kiss camp.
Speaker 1: And here's a friendly reminder on social media. This is
Speaker 1: how you can go to a concert when you're caught
Speaker 1: in stick. This is a Taylor Swift who called in
Speaker 1: sick and went to work. So this is what you do.
Speaker 1: You put a blanket on your hand with the parraph studies,
Speaker 1: you go in cognito. That's how you do it. But
Speaker 1: geez with your HR manager or boy. I bet his
Speaker 1: wife's not happy.
Speaker 4: Well, she apparently within half an hour took her name,
Speaker 4: changed her name back to her maiden name.
Speaker 1: And I think the.
Speaker 4: Divorce proceedings have already done. I mean, what karma is
Speaker 4: a bit, isn't it? But you know, if you want
Speaker 4: to play up, what a despicable thing. And I just
Speaker 4: think it's wonderful that he got caught that this poor woman,
Speaker 4: you know, and when you think about it, it was
Speaker 4: an expensive he flew it. What is a cold Play
Speaker 4: ticket much have cost.
Speaker 1: One hundreds of dollars, Like he's standing in a box. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I reckon he's in a fivate box that's probably thousands
Speaker 1: of dollars.
Speaker 4: And then clearly had the expensive hotel, the champagne, the
Speaker 4: whining and dining, and now the divorce.
Speaker 1: It's a very expensive. I hope it was worth it.
Speaker 1: I hope it was worth it. Now it's going to
Speaker 1: be very awkward around the office. Gee, well, well you
Speaker 1: think not because you say you're Karma. Karma will get you. Promxsween.

Speaker 1: thanks for your company. Are we back again seven pm
