WEBVTT - Sharri | 10 July 0:00:03.600 --> 0:00:05.479 Long showing. 0:00:07.960 --> 0:00:09.680 Thanks Andrew, and make sure you stick around for your 0:00:09.720 --> 0:00:12.440 horoscope later in the show. No, we're not actually going 0:00:12.440 --> 0:00:14.600 to do that here now. Last night I spoke to 0:00:14.600 --> 0:00:17.639 you just into Nampagen per Price, of course, about what's 0:00:17.680 --> 0:00:19.400 going on in Alice Springs with. 0:00:19.400 --> 0:00:21.440 The curfew, but also the need to. 0:00:21.400 --> 0:00:25.480 Look beyond just knee jerk band aid responses to problems 0:00:25.520 --> 0:00:29.560 in indigenous communities and start doing something to actually stop 0:00:29.600 --> 0:00:32.640 them at the cause. And today, on the third day 0:00:32.680 --> 0:00:35.720 of curfew in the troubled town, reports that a major 0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:40.440 brawl has erupted outside a local supermarket. Police confirmed that 0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:43.479 they made multiple arrests after the group was seen fighting 0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:46.879 with various weapons. Now, this is all a bit like 0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:49.199 a weed. You can rip the top off it and 0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:51.960 it'll looked like it isn't there. But unless you actually 0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:55.280 pull out at the roots, take it out roots and all, 0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:58.560 it's simply going to grow back. That's what will happen 0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:02.440 in Alice Springs and it's what keeps happening in indigenous 0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:06.000 communities across the country. This is what Senator Price had 0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:07.120 to say to me last night. 0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:12.120 This labor government, the Albanezer government, the territory government want 0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:17.360 to maintain Aboriginal people on welfare on dependent on governments 0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:20.319 instead of allowing them to stand on their own two 0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:22.959 feet and creating real jobs out on communities, not a 0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:27.319 jobs program, but actually opening up for economic development opportunities 0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:29.680 in remote communities so that there's. 0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:31.039 Not this double standard going on. 0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:33.960 You know, if life got better out of communities, we 0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:37.720 wouldn't have the influx of people in our towns, know, 0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:40.160 using the services well. 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:43.280 The Australian Today reported on an essay Senator Price has 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:47.240 written for its sixtieth anniversary Collectors Edition magazine, which will 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:50.280 be published this Saturday, in which he calls for an 0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:55.040 advancement movement in Indigenous affairs, whereby Indigenous people who are 0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:58.280 on welfare would do the jobs in their communities that 0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:01.200 are currently filled by fly in, fly out workers to 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:06.080 quote meet the standards other Australians are expected to meet. 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:09.120 She writes in the essay, we can continue along the 0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:13.560 separatist road that sees Indigenous Australians as irrevocably damaged by 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:17.040 settlement and wants to keep Aboriginal culture stuck in time 0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:21.320 like a museum piece. Traditional culture is romanticized by those 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:24.680 who do not live it. While reinvention of culture has 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:28.240 become an industry in the name of reconciliation for the 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:32.840 purpose of political influence. This separatist way forward leaves negative 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:36.560 parts of Indigenous culture alone to grow and fester, things 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:42.840 like cultural violent payback, arranged marriage and apportioning tragedies and 0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:47.240 mishaps to sorcery, all of which are anathema to modern culture. 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:50.920 This is a view that lowers standards for Indigenous Australians. 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:55.400 This has been the strategy of decades of government agencies 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:58.520 and academic activists, and yet they fail to draw the 0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:02.600 obvious connection between this approach and the failure to make 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:06.480 up much ground on closing the gap spot on. This 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:10.320 has been the problem with Indigenous affairs policy for decades. 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:13.000 No one is willing to do what is right what 0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:16.680 is difficult, because it's either too hard or it means 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:21.000 facing hard truths about what is going on in Indigenous communities. 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:24.760 Hard truths like the fact that Aboriginal women are thirty 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:28.680 four times more likely to be hospitalized with violence related 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:32.520 injuries and six times more likely to die from them. 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:36.360 Hard truths like the fact that Indigenous children are eight 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:39.960 times more likely to suffer abuse or neglect the non 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:43.720 Indigenous children. Hard truths like the fact that the rates 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:47.400 of sexual assault reported to police in twenty twelve among 0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:51.040 Indigenous children age zero to nine in New South Wales, Queensland, 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:54.800 South Australia and the Northern Territory were two to four 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:59.320 times higher than rates among Nonindigenous children. And yet we 0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:03.640 keep talking about Australia Day a Native Title and truth 0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:06.600 and treaty and all these other things that do very 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:10.880 little to materially change the lives of Indigenous people for 0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:13.920 the better. Now. I've used this line before, but the 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:17.080 closest many inner city lefties who claim to care about 0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:21.080 Indigenous issues have actually been to an Indigenous person is 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:23.800 when they see them on the footpath from their BMW's. 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:27.560 They say they are, but they don't. You know, if 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:31.039 they really cared, they'd be talking about these issues, the 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:35.279 root issues that lead to violence and disruption in places 0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:40.080 like Alice Springs and lifelong cycles of welfare. I sometimes 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:43.159 feel like I'm shouting into the abyss saying this, but 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:48.720 Indigenous affairs needs hard action and tough decisions, not virtue 0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:52.440 signaling talk. God knows we've had enough of that. We 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:53.640 have nothing to show. 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:53.880 For it. 0:04:57.839 --> 0:04:59.400 Now, there's probably been a little bit of. 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:02.680 Concern in the New South Wales greyhound racing industry of 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:05.880 late that perhaps the bad days were back. Of course, 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:09.320 last time the industry found itself in trouble in twenty sixteen, 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:12.200 then Liberal Premier Marke Baird tried to. 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:12.960 Ban the sport. 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:17.200 He said the industry would not be economically viable in 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:20.160 the long term, it would still lead to the slaughter 0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:25.960 of thousands of healthy dogs and lie baiting would likely 0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:32.920 to continue. Now, when confronted with those facts, the only 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:40.279 humane response is to close that industry down and do 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:42.880 it in a way that we work with every single 0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:50.760 stakeholder with order, with respect, and ensuring we minimize the consequences. 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:53.800 And well we all know how that went. 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:58.039 Three months later, after facing massive political heat, particularly from 0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:01.360 within in his own coalition, that ban was gone. 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:07.360 Now the feedback that I have received, my cabinet colleagues, 0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:13.600 MPs across government have received from the community is yes, 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:17.960 they were horrified by the findings in the Special Commission 0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:20.800 of Inquiry of what was going on in the industry, 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:25.440 but they have also said why did you not give 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:30.840 the industry one last chance? That is what they have 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:36.480 said consistently again and again. So it's clear in hindsight 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:40.159 as we reflect on this, well we got it wrong. 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:43.719 He certainly did get it wrong, and then three months 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:47.120 after that Bad's premiership was over. It was one of 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:52.520 the most extraordinarily moronic, unilateral decisions I've seen a politician make, 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:54.159 and ultimately, of course he. 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:54.960 Paid the price. 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:57.880 So I guess it's no great surprise that Labor New 0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:02.159 South Wales Premier Chris Mins today ruled out banning greyhound racing. 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:03.280 I mean, you'd have to be. 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:06.360 A complete idiot to open that can of worms again. Now, 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:08.840 the reason all of this was potentially back on the 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:13.160 table is because the governing body's former chief Vet Pender report, 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:15.840 which was sent to Greyhound Racing New South Wales in 0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:20.080 June that claimed rehoming rates had been inflated, dogs were 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:23.720 racing too much, causing too many injuries, and that they 0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:27.280 were left to quote unquote live out their miserable post 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:32.040 racing lives in industrial kennels. Now, some of the allegations, 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:37.240 including those relating to veterinary care, warranted further investigation. According 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:40.640 to a response by Greyhound Welfare and. 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:42.840 Integrity Commission g wick As it's called. 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:46.559 That was tabled in state parliament yesterday, but it also 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:50.200 dismissed others as wrong, including that hundreds of dog deaths 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:53.960 had been hidden. That's the Integrity Commission saying that, not 0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:58.280 the industry itself, and the chief executive of greyhound Racing 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:01.960 New South Wales resigned yesterday. Now I know not everyone 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:04.160 is that interested in greyhound racing. 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:07.600 In fact, the vast majority of people probably aren't. 0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:10.000 And older Claire, as many viewers would know that I 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:13.240 have owned racing greyhounds and I still have one. But 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:16.880 you see the issue is that because greyhound racing isn't 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:20.160 as popular as horse racing, it makes it an easy 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:24.480 target for activists and ultimately an easy sacrificial lamb for 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:28.120 state governments to offer up to the animal activists to make. 0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:30.840 Them shut up. But they won't shut up. 0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:35.920 Racing should be as safe as absolutely possible in all 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:39.520 its forms, but like anything in life, it does come 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:43.840 with risks. Animal welfare should always be paramount. But don't 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:47.559 think that if you hand over greyhound racing because well 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:51.640 it's pretty small, who really cares that it'll save horse 0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:55.880 racing from being next, Because it will be next. It's 0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:59.320 the same reason I argued so strongly against jumps racing 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:02.360 being banned in South Australia because it's a win for 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:03.480 animal activists. 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:05.200 It just emboldens them. 0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:08.160 And again I'll declare that I have jumps horses that 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:10.679 run in Victoria, because of course that's the only place 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:14.200 that still runs jumps races in this country. And speaking 0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:18.440 of South Australia, they ran an inquiry into greyhound racing 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:23.080 last year and appointed an inspector this year. Premier Peter 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:26.600 Malinowskis has said that the industry has two years to 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:30.000 clean itself up, otherwise it faces the prospect of no 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:33.160 longer being able to enjoy the social license and the 0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:36.240 government support that is required for it to be able 0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:40.760 to operate. In other words, it could be banned now. 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:44.120 Having been involved in the racing industry both horses and dogs, 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:47.240 as an owner and a journalist, I can assure you 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:51.520 that the vast majority of people adore their animals. That's 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:55.160 why they go into racing in the first place. Activist 0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:59.040 elites don't like racing, and they certainly don't like greyhound 0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:03.000 racing because it's largely a working class pursuit and the 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:06.040 only thing that inner City. Green's voters hate more than 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:10.600 hard working people in the suburbs is those people enjoying themselves. 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:12.560 But believe me, if. 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:17.120 Greyhound racing is sacrificed at the altar of animal activism, 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:25.560 more dominoes will fall. Also tonight, a second group of 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:28.480 both people intercepted at our border this week and sent 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:31.560 back home. Plus the Sydney River has become the latest 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:34.840 target in the left pursuit to rewrite history. And the 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:37.959 Australian Defense Force gets a new chief, but will he 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:41.400 be able to reshape our work adf Well. It's been 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:44.679 revealed by the Daily Telegraph that under this Labor government, 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:48.840 more than two three hundred asylum seekers flew into Australia 0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:52.560 in May. Now that's the highest monthly number since Albanizi 0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:56.000 took office two years ago. The majority of arrivals have 0:10:56.040 --> 0:11:00.880 been from China, followed by Vietnam, Columbia and India, and 0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:04.520 then from Palestine. One hundred and nineteen people have applied 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:07.480 for protection visas from there. Let's bring in our panel 0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:11.560 to discuss former Victorian Liberal Party president Michael Kroger and 0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:16.040 former Labor Senator Graham Richardson Graham, the numbers are as 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:19.680 high as they've been in two years. My assumption, I 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:21.760 don't know what yours is, but my assumption is that 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:24.560 after n Z YQ and all the other things that 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:27.120 have happened, you've had boats that have reached the shore. 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:29.760 We've always known that the vast majority of a salem 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:32.840 seekers come by plane, but they've looked at us now 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:35.120 and gone, gee, Australia is a soft touch. 0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:37.280 Let's give it a go. Yeah. 0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:37.680 I think you know. 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:39.920 It's a sort of case of bring back Scott Morrison, 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:44.600 who can at least lay claim to having stopped the 0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:47.640 boats because he did. Look, I don't think there's any 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:52.240 nice way to handle this, and I don't believe that 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:56.119 we should give any support to cure jumpers, no support whatsoever. 0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:58.920 So as far as I'm concerned, you can be as. 0:11:58.800 --> 0:11:59.520 Tough as you like. 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:03.160 I don't think we should sink the motes, but I 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:04.880 certainly think we should stop them. 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:09.400 Well, Michael, of the eighty thousand rejected asylum seekers in 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:14.079 Australia eighty thousand, only eleven have actually left the country. 0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:14.720 Eleven. 0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:19.880 Mate, it seems like there'll be a while before the 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:24.400 eighty thousand are leaving. Look, here's the problem. There are 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:27.319 more than fifty million people worldwide the uns AT a 0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:30.400 few years ago who were refugees looking for somewhere else 0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:32.200 to live. The truth is probably more than a million 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:34.600 people would prefer to live somewhere else. They want to live. 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:37.280 That's why you know, nine ten eleven million have crossed 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:42.000 the southern border into America from Mexico. Because of the 0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:44.120 tyranny of distance, is harder for people to get here. 0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:46.679 But if the truth be known, Caleb, there would be 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:49.439 millions of people who would like to make their way 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:51.480 to Australia. And if they find a way to get 0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:55.160 here and then can use a legal system which they 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:58.160 can to delay their deportation if they fail to win 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:02.400 citizenship or asylum, they're going to do it. And as 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:04.960 you say, and everybody, every Australian knows, labor a week 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:08.480 on these issues. They always have been. And yeah, as 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:12.719 Richo said, you know, Abbott and Dudden got it right. 0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:15.320 And you know, Dan Teene impresses me as a bloke 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:18.360 who's got the courage to do something about this. You 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:22.480 cannot have an open door policy. It destroys people's confidence 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:24.080 in the immigration process. 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:26.520 Yeah, and I mean the strength of the border force 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:29.360 has been under question as well. And as I said before, 0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:32.920 we've actually had boats reached the shore under this government 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:35.040 in the last year or so. And we saw a 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:37.679 story I think it might have been last week where 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:39.920 one boat that was turned back. Well the boat wasn't 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:42.480 turned back. They actually took the boat away, destroyed it 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:44.880 and gave them a speedboat to go back to Indonesia. 0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:47.080 You know, here's a gift to go and do more 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:48.040 people smuggling. 0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:49.920 How good can it get? Now? 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:53.720 Facebook and Instagram's parent company Meta has announced that it 0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:57.400 will be removing more posts that attack Zionists. 0:13:57.400 --> 0:13:58.760 But there is a catch. 0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:01.320 It'll only be done and the term is used to 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:05.760 describe Jewish and Israeli people in a general context, not 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:12.120 when it involves supporters of Zionism as a political movement. Graham, 0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:14.079 it feels like they're having a bet each way here. 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:19.560 Yeah, that's too wellb each way for sure. I wouldn't 0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:23.840 have that kind of restriction. I think the reality is 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:29.920 that we've all been called Zionists at times because anyone 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:34.000 associated with support with the State of Israel is labeled 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:38.600 that way. That's just a fact. Now, Well, I accepted 0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:39.880 the label a long time ago. 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:45.400 So I don't care, Michael. Your response, well. 0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:47.160 At least it's a start, that's what i'd say. At 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:49.240 least it's a start. You know, Big Tech have been 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:54.480 incredibly slow on these issues. They've just started, right, They've started, 0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:56.840 and you know what they need to understand is that 0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:59.640 the language of the left is to attack, oh, the 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:03.280 st of Israel, the Israeli government or Zionists. They never 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:05.960 use their taught don't use the word Jews. Don't say 0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:08.520 we hate Jews, because you'll get into trouble like those 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:13.240 people did on October eight in Sydney. So they use 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:17.560 these synonyms. Oh, we're just against Zionism, we're against net Yahoo. No, 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:21.800 these people basically hate Jews. They are hard left racists. 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:26.000 And the sooner Big Tech works that out, the better, mate. 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:26.480 Yeah. 0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:28.840 The only thing that does consume me a bit about 0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:31.880 censorship with Facebook is we've seen how they've used it before, 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:35.240 and of course when they during the Voice campaign, for instance, 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:40.040 we're deciding that stuff that was patently true, including comments 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:44.160 by our own creedline, were deemed to be misinformation and 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:48.040 disinformation and they wouldn't post it. I do worry a 0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:50.440 little bit Michael that sometimes, you know, they like to 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:53.200 say that they're doing the right thing and this is 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:57.280 probably an easy win for them, but sometimes their application 0:15:57.680 --> 0:16:00.480 of these kind of rules is pretty cluster. 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:07.240 Mostly it's like cluster. But there's start. They're starting, mate, 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:09.800 they're starting to get to the they can see where 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:13.880 the center of rationality is and they're starting to move 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:15.840 towards it. It'll take come a long time though. 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:16.480 Now. 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:19.240 The New South Wales Premier Chris Mindsey, of course announced 0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:22.800 today that the retail trade ban on Anzac Day will 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:25.960 be extended. So it used to be until one pm. 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:29.120 Now it'll go for the entire day as of next year. 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:30.800 Here's what he had to say earlier. 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:36.800 Creeping commercialization of Anzac Day over a prolonged period of 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:40.440 time to the detriment of the importance of the day. 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:43.680 There's many things that divide up our community in New 0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:46.520 South Wales and Australia, and the truth of the matter 0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:49.600 is the nation's national day is Anzac Day. 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:54.720 Here here and Grahamipendercolin for News dot com dot Au 0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:58.200 today about this, basically saying that you know, I hope 0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:02.280 this might be a moment for some people who've lost 0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:06.120 connection to Anzac Day. To stop and think because because 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:08.960 they can't go shop anymore, to stop and think, hang on, 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:12.239 this is a really important day for our nation, and 0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:14.679 to take stock of why it's an important day for 0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:18.879 our nation because we are now closer to global conflict 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:21.600 than we have been in a long time, and that 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:24.920 makes Anzac Day more important than it has ever been. 0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:26.240 It does. 0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:26.720 See. 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:31.240 I think that the distinction is that Australia Day is 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:35.679 a holiday, whereas Anzac Day is a holiday that means something, 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:41.640 that has something behind it. There's a raison deetra for 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:45.439 Anzac Day that I think we can all stand up 0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:49.480 and salute. And so I'm a great fan of Anzac Day. 0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:53.840 Always will be Australia Day. I never mind another day. 0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:57.960 Off, well, who doesn't mind another day on? But this 0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:00.439 ought to go national Markel? 0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:04.280 Well it should. 0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:07.280 And look can I say this about this fellow Chris Mins. 0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:13.680 He seems to understand what most politicians don't. Most politicians think, 0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:15.439 I've got to spend more money on health than the 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:18.040 next person, more money in education. I'm going to build 0:18:18.080 --> 0:18:21.600 bigger roads, I've got to have more bridges, et cetera. 0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:24.359 Center spending the public's money and expect them to be 0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:29.080 grateful for spending their hard earned taxes. This guy Mins 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:32.520 seems to understand that the success, the key to a 0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:36.680 successful politician is for the electric to think he thinks 0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:38.040 what I think. 0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:40.919 Yes, his values, his views. 0:18:41.480 --> 0:18:43.560 In other words, its culture. It's why the left hate 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:46.639 culture wars, keep saying everything the culture war because they 0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:48.520 don't want to talk about culture because they know the 0:18:48.600 --> 0:18:54.919 moral massive working middle class heavily influenced by these cultural issues, 0:18:55.040 --> 0:18:58.920 like the disgraceful voice trying to divide the country by race. 0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:02.600 So Men's comes along and he taps into a very 0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:06.440 important element of the Australian psyche, which is that many 0:19:06.440 --> 0:19:10.280 Australians alive today, or our parents or our grandp parents 0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:15.120 have fought for democracy and liberty which doesn't come for free. 0:19:15.680 --> 0:19:18.160 And Mince taps into this and says, I'm not afraid 0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:21.960 to say what he has said today. This will build 0:19:22.040 --> 0:19:26.960 him an enormous cultural support base in the electorate which 0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:29.240 is traditionally this area is traditionally, as we know, not 0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:33.560 Labour's are and not their strength. This is an outstanding 0:19:33.720 --> 0:19:36.680 cultural move by this fellow and it will endear him 0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:39.600 to so many people in New South Wales and around 0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:43.879 the country who understand that Anzac Day is probably the 0:19:43.880 --> 0:19:46.240 most important day in the Australian calendar. 0:19:46.280 --> 0:19:49.359 Mate, definitely, now, very quickly before we move on. Donald 0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:52.960 Trump returned to the campaign trail today. He challenged President 0:19:53.000 --> 0:19:55.359 Biden to another debate at his Florida rally. 0:19:56.840 --> 0:19:59.920 Let's do another debate this week so that sleepy job 0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:04.520 Biden can prove to everyone all over the world that 0:20:04.640 --> 0:20:05.240 he has what. 0:20:05.280 --> 0:20:08.680 It takes to be president. That wasn't the only thing 0:20:08.720 --> 0:20:09.680 he challenged him to. 0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:12.760 The former president has sit his sites on a game 0:20:12.800 --> 0:20:13.680 on the golf course. 0:20:15.080 --> 0:20:19.200 In the debate, Slippy Joe also declared that he wanted 0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:23.960 to test his skills and stamina against mine on the 0:20:24.000 --> 0:20:27.679 golf course. Can you believe this? I'm also officially challenging 0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:31.879 Crooked Joe to an eighteen hole golf match right here. 0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:34.120 Ah, how good. 0:20:34.400 --> 0:20:37.280 We've only got thirty seconds, Michael. But Trumps will give 0:20:37.280 --> 0:20:39.600 a million dollars to charity of Biden's choice if he 0:20:39.600 --> 0:20:39.960 can win. 0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:44.520 He won't need to because Biden wanting stick. If Biden's 0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:46.680 a six handicapper made, I'm Bryson de Chamba. 0:20:47.000 --> 0:20:52.760 Seriously, Graham Richardson, thank you so much. For your time. Now. 0:20:52.840 --> 0:20:55.320 I don't know about you, but this constant. 0:20:54.880 --> 0:20:58.679 Push to reduce speed limits is really getting on my nerves. 0:20:58.800 --> 0:21:01.960 Cars are safer than they have ever been, so surely 0:21:02.000 --> 0:21:04.840 we should actually be able to drive faster than we 0:21:04.880 --> 0:21:06.720 ever have, or at the very least we can have 0:21:06.800 --> 0:21:07.720 the same speeds. 0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:10.119 But we have knut councils. 0:21:10.200 --> 0:21:12.920 They keep trying to impose a ghostlow and the latest 0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:16.320 is Sydney City Council, which has decided that fifty kilometer 0:21:16.400 --> 0:21:18.600 in our streets across much of its area will be 0:21:18.640 --> 0:21:21.640 cut to forty kilometers an hour. And of course they 0:21:21.640 --> 0:21:25.880 say it's just about making everything safer, particularly for pedestrians. 0:21:25.880 --> 0:21:28.760 But something tells me it's all an effort to discourage 0:21:28.800 --> 0:21:30.480 people from using their cars. 0:21:30.680 --> 0:21:32.440 Joining me now as founder of. 0:21:32.440 --> 0:21:36.880 Car Expert Paul marriage Paul am I right, is this 0:21:37.000 --> 0:21:39.680 all just an effort to stop people from using their 0:21:39.680 --> 0:21:42.040 cars and I don't know, make them get on bikes instead. 0:21:43.960 --> 0:21:46.879 Absolutely, And that is what's happening in Melbourne at the moment. 0:21:46.920 --> 0:21:50.240 They have put bike lanes everywhere. There is gridlock all 0:21:50.280 --> 0:21:53.400 around Melbourne. They do not want you driving your car 0:21:53.560 --> 0:21:55.679 in and around the city, and they portray it as 0:21:55.680 --> 0:21:58.760 pedestrian safety, But ultimately, when are we actually going to 0:21:58.760 --> 0:22:00.880 put it onto a pedestrian to watch where they're going 0:22:00.960 --> 0:22:03.840 because there's no risk of getting hit by a car. 0:22:03.680 --> 0:22:05.440 If you're actually watching where you're going. 0:22:06.040 --> 0:22:08.600 Well, it's a very fair point. But in forty kilometers 0:22:08.640 --> 0:22:08.960 an hour. 0:22:09.200 --> 0:22:12.680 Seriously, I'm not much of a runner, but I could well, 0:22:12.760 --> 0:22:14.200 you know, maybe if I was you, Saint Bolt, I 0:22:14.200 --> 0:22:14.600 could run. 0:22:14.640 --> 0:22:15.359 That bakes to it. 0:22:15.480 --> 0:22:16.720 But you know, at some. 0:22:16.840 --> 0:22:19.000 Points you feel like maybe I should just get out 0:22:19.040 --> 0:22:21.280 of my car and walk, and of course that's what 0:22:21.359 --> 0:22:25.800 they want you to do. The reality is that Australia 0:22:26.000 --> 0:22:29.040 is a car nation because it's a big nation and 0:22:29.080 --> 0:22:31.560 it has urban sprawl. Now I'm not sure if it's 0:22:31.560 --> 0:22:35.120
