Speaker 1: Late Welcome to the Late Base.
Speaker 2: Well, thanks to your company.
Speaker 3: I'm James Macpherson with Liz Storer and filling in for
Speaker 3: Caleb Bond, who you just watched on the Paul Murray
Speaker 3: Live program, The Brilliant, our great mate, Joe Hilda Brand.
Speaker 4: I don't know who's who anymore, Caleb Bond. Then Paul
Speaker 4: Murray's there, and then I'm here and Caleb's there, and
Speaker 4: you're there, and I feel like Dorothy when she wakes
Speaker 4: up from.
Speaker 1: The dream and a Wizard of Oscess. And you were there,
Speaker 1: and you were there, and you were there, and you
Speaker 1: were there.
Speaker 2: It's going to be fine. We're glad you were.
Speaker 3: With a stick around coming up, Coca Cola ban the
Speaker 3: names Jesus and Trump from personalized cans will show you
Speaker 3: that a little later. Plus, when we look at the papers,
Speaker 3: Treasurer Jim Chalmers arrives in China as the Chinese fire
Speaker 3: missiles over the Pacific Ocean, and in news that will
Speaker 3: excite pigeons everywhere, former Victorian Premier Dan Andrews to get
Speaker 3: a bronze statue. All of that when we look at
Speaker 3: the papers a little later. But first everyone's feeling the
Speaker 3: cost of living pressures, and nowhere more so than at
Speaker 3: your local supermarket, where a trolley of groceries will pretty
Speaker 3: much require a second mortgage these days. But in a
Speaker 3: report from consumer group Choice, they've shown that if you
Speaker 3: get your groceries from Eld, you can save around fifteen
Speaker 3: dollars on a basket of just fourteen essential items. A
Speaker 3: basket of fruit, milk, cheese and bread will set you
Speaker 3: back fifty dollars at Eld, but check out this, It'll
Speaker 3: be sixty six dollars at Coal, sixty eight dollars at Woolies,
Speaker 3: and seventy eight at IgA for the exact same items. Now,
Speaker 3: I say all of that to ask this question, if
Speaker 3: you can save that much money shopping at Eld, why
Speaker 3: don't more people like these?
Speaker 2: For instance, what's your tipmarket.
Speaker 5: Puts Audi because they have the cheapest.
Speaker 6: Really, we used to shop Cole's Woolers all the time,
Speaker 6: and then we've switched to Aldi just to get better value.
Speaker 7: Way too expensive. I shop at Aldi because you can
Speaker 7: save by my umbrella?
Speaker 8: Is Aldi always your grocer of choice? It is?
Speaker 6: It is?
Speaker 7: Yeah, definitely, it's way cheaper. I've compared prices Nladi's always
Speaker 7: comes out on top. So it's yeah, definitely the ones
Speaker 7: to go. You can't get everything there, but so you
Speaker 7: have to go to Coles and Woolies. But yeah, Aldi's
Speaker 7: the one for me.
Speaker 3: Okay, now I don't know what Liz and Joe do,
Speaker 3: but let me tell you. I refuse to shop at
Speaker 3: Eldie because I don't want to buy my groceries from
Speaker 3: what effectively seems very much like a garage sale.
Speaker 2: I mean literally, you can buy a piece.
Speaker 1: Of salamo after the special buy, so you.
Speaker 3: Can buy a piece of salami and a dick chair
Speaker 3: and they're right beside each other. I tell you true story.
Speaker 3: My sister Rachel, she sent her husband Josh off to
Speaker 3: Eldie to get some ingredients for dinner.
Speaker 2: And he came back with a trumpet. And I'm not
Speaker 2: making that. So I just Eldie does my head in.
Speaker 1: I can't.
Speaker 2: I can't figure it out.
Speaker 6: They have a bigger range. I mean that is perfectly normal.
Speaker 8: In the States.
Speaker 6: By the way, they're supermarkets are also kind of like
Speaker 6: half supermarket half km art, so it's perfectly normal.
Speaker 2: I can't deal with that.
Speaker 8: No, it's perfectly deal with that.
Speaker 6: Well. Obviously a lot of Australians can as per those boxes. Also,
Speaker 6: this is the one supermarket out of the duopoly anyway,
Speaker 6: outside of the duopoly rather that isn't being investigated by
Speaker 6: the A Triple C for ripping you.
Speaker 2: I'm okay with that, right spot of.
Speaker 6: These massive companies that are deliberately ripping you off to
Speaker 6: your face and you're like, I don't mind take my money.
Speaker 6: Another reason to shop at Aldi is that they're not
Speaker 6: owned like Coles and Woolworths are by black Rock, Vanguard
Speaker 6: and State Street. If you know, you know, those are
Speaker 6: the three biggest shareholders state Street of Coals, black Rock
Speaker 6: and Vanguard of Woolies.
Speaker 8: I take every.
Speaker 6: Opportunity not to give those flogs my money.
Speaker 1: What do you to? I love a bit of Aldie.
Speaker 4: I got suck it into the fly by scheme though,
Speaker 4: and I literally dropped more than six hundred dollars at
Speaker 4: Coals just the for you to get at home, and
Speaker 4: then my wife yell at me for forgetting something and
Speaker 4: had to go back to another Coals and spend another
Speaker 4: forty bucks. Admittedly all the children six hundreds had well
Speaker 4: the children. The children are all wearing basically Hessian sacks
Speaker 4: for clothes, and we had to get home.
Speaker 8: This is where Aldie.
Speaker 4: I do love Aldi, and I bought your laugh at
Speaker 4: the trumpet. I bought two guitars, three guitar stands, the leads,
Speaker 4: everything for so no, this is the thing because you
Speaker 4: walk in there for the salami and then go, oh
Speaker 4: my god, I just realized I need a deck chair.
Speaker 1: It's like I did it before it.
Speaker 8: And it's a really well price.
Speaker 4: And it's a really well priced, high quality deck chair
Speaker 4: and it was fantastic. I'm and Coles have now started
Speaker 4: introducing the special buyers as well own special buyers section,
Speaker 4: and I actually I actually bought an outdoor fire.
Speaker 1: Pit from.
Speaker 8: But I just their target mark.
Speaker 4: I've been on the way home for some milk, so
Speaker 4: I have an absolute I have an absolute suckle.
Speaker 2: I think we had some vision there of some of
Speaker 2: the random stuff you can get.
Speaker 8: That's the whole purpose, right.
Speaker 6: You don't go to Aldi to buy a trumpet or
Speaker 6: a deck chair. You go there to get your groceries,
Speaker 6: and just like someone walking out and they know what
Speaker 6: they're doing, putting all the chocolate bars and the chewing
Speaker 6: gum and the breath mints right there at the checkout,
Speaker 6: So people go, oh yeah, actually, oh, grab a few
Speaker 6: of those.
Speaker 8: On my way out.
Speaker 6: People see the special buys and realize, look at all
Speaker 6: the stuff I don't need but want, and walk out
Speaker 6: with half of that as well.
Speaker 8: It's a genius marketing.
Speaker 1: In fact, it's.
Speaker 4: Even more ingenious than you think, because while some people
Speaker 4: might just go in there and say, oh my god,
Speaker 4: what's this doing here, if you get the Aldi catalog,
Speaker 4: it will tell you in advance what the special buys
Speaker 4: are going to be on any given date, and you
Speaker 4: will have a week's note so you can get in first,
Speaker 4: and you will have people like they have had. They
Speaker 4: had dice and vacuum cleaners for a while, and it
Speaker 4: was like it was like going over the top in
Speaker 4: the Battle of the Song. There were people just at
Speaker 4: the gates, at the doors, just heaving, and as soon
Speaker 4: as they open they just I mean shoppers that shop
Speaker 4: with tactical military proceisure.
Speaker 3: You to have totally convinced me tomorrow I'm going to
Speaker 3: go to Eldie get some milk, some cheese, some yogurt
Speaker 3: and a bass drum.
Speaker 8: Well, well, thank us. In fact, you can give us
Speaker 8: the difference.
Speaker 1: In our long range. They'll do it headstreamer.
Speaker 4: They always seem to have those for some reason. Let's
Speaker 4: see the dairy isle.
Speaker 2: Let's move on.
Speaker 3: The habit of indigenous activists objecting to everything because of
Speaker 3: its links with colonialism has come back to bite them
Speaker 3: and bite them hard. Back in twenty twenty two, the
Speaker 3: New South Wales Coalition committed to giving the New South
Speaker 3: Wales or Sydney Rather Museum to Indigenous folk and make
Speaker 3: it an Indigenous hub. But today Labour's Arts Minister John
Speaker 3: Graham has announced they've scraped that plan because the museum
Speaker 3: has been built over the top of the ruins of
Speaker 3: Arthur Phillips's old cottage and therefore it would be an
Speaker 3: inappropriate place for an indigenous hub.
Speaker 1: Well, I was so sure you were going to say
Speaker 1: Indian graveyard.
Speaker 3: Well that would have been inappropriate too, But indigenous activists
Speaker 3: are very upset about that, saying no, no, no, the links
Speaker 3: between the museum and colonial past are suddenly unimportant. Black rogers,
Speaker 3: who's a indigenous artist. He said, it's somewhat hypocritical for
Speaker 3: the government not to consider it when Aboriginal people have
Speaker 3: raised concerns about other sites and the colonial Captain Cook
Speaker 3: statue in Hyde Park, and the government hasn't done anything
Speaker 3: about that. So they're saying it's just an excuse by
Speaker 3: this labor government who don't want to follow through with
Speaker 3: this commitment to make the museum an indigenous hub. But
Speaker 3: the government is saying no, no, it would be inappropriate. It's
Speaker 3: got colonials links will have to find another venue.
Speaker 2: Who's right.
Speaker 6: I mean this has got to be a because for once,
Speaker 6: a site of historical significance colonial significance is saved by
Speaker 6: its colonial significance.
Speaker 8: I mean, we've got all these moves to take down
Speaker 8: this statue of Captain Cook and replace it.
Speaker 6: With something indigenous. For once, it's like, no, no, because
Speaker 6: it was Arthur Phillips's home base.
Speaker 8: We're not going to go through with this anymore.
Speaker 6: I just can't believe that it was a coalition government
Speaker 6: who agreed.
Speaker 8: To do this because by virtue.
Speaker 6: Of being Arthur Phillips's former home now Sydney's museum. It's
Speaker 6: a Sydney of one of the it's a museum of
Speaker 6: one of the greatest cities in the world, certainly the
Speaker 6: greatest city in our fair nation. Come on, even if
Speaker 6: you don't agree with that, you've got to admit we're
Speaker 6: the most beautiful. I mean, why wouldn't you want the
Speaker 6: City of Sydney Museum to remain as is and just
Speaker 6: promise a different indigenous hub that is indeed actually dedicated
Speaker 6: to being an Indigenous habit rather than ripping one to
Speaker 6: give the other one.
Speaker 4: That is exactly what the Min's Labor government is doing. Liz,
Speaker 4: thank you for your support, but yeah, it is. It
Speaker 4: is really weird. I think there is something in what
Speaker 4: you said about people I know are now so anxious
Speaker 4: and are anticipating every possible sort of angle of outrage
Speaker 4: coming at them that they're sort of preemptively killing off
Speaker 4: things that the Indigenous Committey would actually want because I
Speaker 4: think I know that someone's going to get upset by this.
Speaker 4: I think it would have been probably a nice bit
Speaker 4: of kind of I don't know, not harmer or pobetic justice,
Speaker 4: but a nice bit of sort of closure.
Speaker 1: That's a horrible word to say, All right, we are
Speaker 1: going to you know, we are going to have this.
Speaker 4: Place, which is, you know, ultimately the intersection of these
Speaker 4: two worlds when they first collided in seven and eighty
Speaker 4: eight and lived in harmony for quite some time thereafter. Incidentally,
Speaker 4: but you know, and we're going to have that there.
Speaker 4: I think you could just as easily make an argument,
Speaker 4: well why not preserve, you know, I preserve the Museum
Speaker 4: of Sydney as this sort of you know, there is
Speaker 4: some Indigenous stuff there, but as this kind of you know,
Speaker 4: exhibition of the very earliest sort of colonial settlement, and
Speaker 4: have the indigenous stuff somewhere else that's purpose built.
Speaker 1: But again, isn't the real I mean even when like I.
Speaker 4: Said, oh, you know, it's ironic given that we've raised
Speaker 4: concerns about other sites than the colonial Captain Cook statue
Speaker 4: in Hyde Park and the government hasn't done anything about that.
Speaker 4: I think it shows how confused and and sort of
Speaker 4: foggy this issue against But yes, we're not talking about
Speaker 4: like do the Aboriginal people want their hub to be
Speaker 4: in Hyde Park where the statue is?
Speaker 1: Do they want that or they want to come down.
Speaker 6: One particular activity polish replacement, which is which is thankfully
Speaker 6: what MINS.
Speaker 8: Has said no to here.
Speaker 2: And that's the difference.
Speaker 3: It's because they're getting something, so they don't mind the
Speaker 3: colonial links, whereas if it was just a colonial monument
Speaker 3: then they would.
Speaker 4: I don't think there's anything there's any suggestion that, you know,
Speaker 4: the remains of Arthur Phillips Cottage should be demolished in
Speaker 4: the same way that they would want the cap Cook Statue,
Speaker 4: presumably torn down as people have tried to tear it down.
Speaker 4: So there just seems to be all this energy in
Speaker 4: all these weird, kind of specific and not entirely coherent
Speaker 4: claims instead of just getting stuff done.
Speaker 2: It'd be hilarious if that's right.
Speaker 8: That anyway, Well, Kamala Harris has fight.
Speaker 6: We've been talking endlessly about the fact that this woman
Speaker 6: needs to do more interviews. We want answers. You're running
Speaker 6: for the most important job in the world. Can we
Speaker 6: please get some straight answers. So she finally sat down
Speaker 6: with MSNBC's host Stephanie Ruler, and you would not believe
Speaker 6: the softball questions. Here's one about Kamala's time at macus.
Speaker 9: Your opponent almost every day seems to be talking about this.
Speaker 8: So I just want to ask you yes or no?
Speaker 8: At any point in.
Speaker 9: Your life have you served to all beef patties, special
Speaker 9: cells and Leni's cheese Take those onions on. Looking at
Speaker 9: Adam MacDonald's yes or no, that's it. I have okay,
Speaker 9: now the other job, but it was not a small
Speaker 9: job like I do, Rie.
Speaker 8: I mean, you know, oh incredible.
Speaker 6: That's one that she could answer really confidently. Not so
Speaker 6: much when Stephanie asked Kamala about so, with all these
Speaker 6: taxes that you intend to raise in order to fund
Speaker 6: all the things that you're going to pony for everyone,
Speaker 6: a pony for everyone's pony, what if you can't raise
Speaker 6: the taxes, What if you don't have the support in
Speaker 6: both the houses that you need in order to pull
Speaker 6: this off.
Speaker 8: Kamala should have just said I don't know. Instead, she
Speaker 8: said this.
Speaker 9: You mentioned housing before giving that extra money for a
Speaker 9: first home. If you can't raise corporate taxes, or if
Speaker 9: GOP takes control of the Senate, where do you get
Speaker 9: the money to do that? Do you still go forward
Speaker 9: those plans and borrow?
Speaker 10: Well, but we're going to have to read corporate taxes
Speaker 10: and we're gonna have to raise We're going to have
Speaker 10: to make sure that the biggest corporations and billionaires pay
Speaker 10: their fresh share.
Speaker 8: That's just it, lady.
Speaker 6: If all the polls are correct, you're looking at a
Speaker 6: pretty divided government.
Speaker 8: Even if you do make it to the White House.
Speaker 6: The question is what are you going to do if
Speaker 6: you don't have the support to raise said taxes.
Speaker 8: Oh, we're just going to have to do it, though,
Speaker 8: We're just going to have to do it.
Speaker 1: Look at her face.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was just terrible, terrified.
Speaker 4: It's like that was like, Oh my god, that's never
Speaker 4: occurred to me before.
Speaker 1: What do you mean you mean? So it's always like
Speaker 1: she was.
Speaker 3: And then when she's saying, but we're just going to
Speaker 3: have to do it, it almost gives her time to
Speaker 3: remember her pre programmed lines because then she gets onto
Speaker 3: everyone's got to pay their fair share, and her face
Speaker 3: brightens up because now she's back on familiar territory and
Speaker 3: she just share a nauseum for about the next sixty seconds,
Speaker 3: hoping that the next question will yeah, which.
Speaker 8: Makes absolutely no sense now.
Speaker 6: Prior to doing this interview with Kamala, Rula had been
Speaker 6: very much defending her a week prior, saying, even if
Speaker 6: Kamala wouldn't budge in saying that Hamas should still have
Speaker 6: a role in the leadership in Gaza going forward.
Speaker 8: You're not going to vote for Trump, are you?
Speaker 11: It's not too much to ask Kamala say, are you
Speaker 11: for a Palestinian state if Hamas is going to run that.
Speaker 1: State, Okay, yes or no?
Speaker 9: And let's say you don't like her answer, Are you
Speaker 9: going to vote for Donald Trump?
Speaker 8: No, I'm not.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to vote.
Speaker 9: Not running for perfect, She's running against Trump.
Speaker 8: We have two choices.
Speaker 6: Incredible, even if she says that a terrorist group should
Speaker 6: still rule and reign in Gaza.
Speaker 8: I mean, you're not going to vote for Trump?
Speaker 1: Are you call off the election? No one's going to
Speaker 1: vote for Trump. So why even have an election?
Speaker 3: Why?
Speaker 2: Why did I have an interview?
Speaker 6: And asked, But after this absolute bomb of an interview,
Speaker 6: even Stephanie Ruler changed her tune, saying, yet Kamala couldn't
Speaker 6: even answer how she was going to do these tax
Speaker 6: raisers if she didn't have the support of the houses.
Speaker 9: She doesn't answer the question around if the GOP is
Speaker 9: controlling the Senate, if she can't raise corporate taxes, where
Speaker 9: is she going to get the money from, you know,
Speaker 9: to expand the child's tax credit and do all the
Speaker 9: things she wants to do, And she says, we.
Speaker 8: Just have to do it.
Speaker 6: Changed her tune real fast, didn't she so? Prior to
Speaker 6: the interview, she's just saying look, no matter what she says,
Speaker 6: basically including terrorists to still having control of that land,
Speaker 6: that's fine, anything but a vote for Trump.
Speaker 8: After the interview, she's like she.
Speaker 6: Couldn't even answer this basic question and admits it to
Speaker 6: the nation live on MSNBC. It's another one of those
Speaker 6: examples where these networks that endlessly shill for daily tongue
Speaker 6: bats for the Democrats actually end up with egg all
Speaker 6: over their face because they realize the person that we're
Speaker 6: trying to champion is not popular or intelligence.
Speaker 3: It's an absolutely amazing confession, isn't it by a major
Speaker 3: American media network that we're going to interview the presidential candidate,
Speaker 3: we actually don't care what she says because everyone should
Speaker 3: vote for her regardless. I mean, which makes a question,
Speaker 3: why would you watch MSNBC's interview with anybody because it's
Speaker 3: a predetermined outcome.
Speaker 4: But also, I mean, how many swinging voters or undecided
Speaker 4: voters are actually watching MSNBC, Like, I don't understand how
Speaker 4: krmala Harry. I mean, I think she goes there, she
Speaker 4: does the softball interview, and then that gets cut up
Speaker 4: and sent out to all the other media, and that's
Speaker 4: how you hopefully reach.
Speaker 1: Them through secondary sources.
Speaker 4: I still, again, given that it seems to have blown
Speaker 4: up in this case, I still don't understand the strategy.
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously she can't she can't do any media.
Speaker 8: The answer basic incredibly friendly.
Speaker 4: Like you can't do anyone more full on than Oprah,
Speaker 4: And even Oprah is calling her.
Speaker 1: Out for not answering the questions.
Speaker 4: And then you've got you've got Stephanie Rule calling her out,
Speaker 4: and I wonder if sort of in both like it's
Speaker 4: almost like they're trying to sort of coach her. In
Speaker 4: real life, it's like they're trying.
Speaker 3: The other thing is their own credibility as interviewers, whether
Speaker 3: Oprah or Stephanie's, is called into question because people watch the.
Speaker 2: Interview and think, why didn't you ask a follow up question?
Speaker 2: Why do you want to push harder?
Speaker 3: I reckon, but now we know it was bias in
Speaker 3: the first place. But then they get defensive over that bias.
Speaker 4: But I also think that that is why this particular
Speaker 4: host felt that it didn't matter if Karla didn't answer
Speaker 4: someone else's question, but when it was her question she
Speaker 4: wasn't answering, she had to call it out as a
Speaker 4: fearless and fearless and impartial journal.
Speaker 2: When she calls it out after the event, around.
Speaker 4: The interview, that's right, because when you can't not acknowledge
Speaker 4: it to look really stupid here and I point out
Speaker 4: that she is in fact, so when it's so again,
Speaker 4: these people are so so selfless that they will go
Speaker 4: to the wall to defend America from Donald Trump and
Speaker 4: make sure he never gets in and pump up the
Speaker 4: tires of his opponent. But when it comes to their
Speaker 4: own ego or their own professional reputation, suddenly they feel
Speaker 4: they have to actually say call her out all of
Speaker 4: a sudden. So we know now the threshold for calling
Speaker 4: out Carmla Harrison An seeing the question is purely the
Speaker 4: ego of the Democrat adjacent journalist who's asking her.
Speaker 6: May there be a lot more of it because, like
Speaker 6: you say, no swing voters are watching MSNBC, but hopefully
Speaker 6: a few Kamala voters are watching and going had a minute.
Speaker 8: I do not want this woman to be commander in chief.
Speaker 6: Staying in the US now where New York Mayor Eric
Speaker 6: Adams has been indicted by the FEDS, this is absolutely
Speaker 6: unprecedented for a New Your mayor. This indictment is sealed,
Speaker 6: so we actually don't know the chargers, and we do
Speaker 6: know that during his tenure, most recently, the Adams administration
Speaker 6: has been reeling from a series of high level resignations
Speaker 6: amid at least four federal probes, and there's a lot
Speaker 6: of speculation about what that entails. Adams has now taken
Speaker 6: to social media after sending a video of himself addressing
Speaker 6: these charges, which are yet unknown to the New York
Speaker 6: Daily News court reporter who has made this available for us.
Speaker 6: He is making it about his strong stance on immigration.
Speaker 6: He has for over a year now been calling out
Speaker 6: the state of New York, essentially saying the city is lost.
Speaker 6: Here he is speaking over a year ago talking about
Speaker 6: what are toll the influx of illegal immigrants into the
Speaker 6: Big Apple was having on the city.
Speaker 12: We getting ten thousand migrants a month. One time, we
Speaker 12: were just getting Venezuela. Now we're get in Ecuador. Now
Speaker 12: we get Russia speaking coming through Mexico. Now we're getting
Speaker 12: Western Africa. Now we're getting people from all over the
Speaker 12: globe have made their minds up that they're going to
Speaker 12: come through the southern part of the border.
Speaker 1: And come into New York City.
Speaker 12: Every community in this city is going to be impacted.
Speaker 12: We had a twelve billion dollar deficit that we're going
Speaker 12: to have to cut. Every service in this city is
Speaker 12: going to be impacted, all of us. I said it
Speaker 12: last year when we had fifteen thousand. I'm telling you
Speaker 12: now with one hundred and ten thousand the city, we
Speaker 12: knew we're about to lose.
Speaker 6: Good luck fighting this corrupt justice system, Boddy. Remember these
Speaker 6: are the same New York Feds that have relentlessly pursued
Speaker 6: Donald Trump and will stop at nothing to bring him down.
Speaker 8: And now, while the.
Speaker 6: Mayor is a Democrat, it appears because he's gone against
Speaker 6: their policy of essentially open borders and facilitating this massive
Speaker 6: influx of illegal immigrants, he's now on the nose. If
Speaker 6: you're not in the club, you're out, buddy. And essentially
Speaker 6: Eric Adams is cooked here. Because his net worth is
Speaker 6: around sixteen million dollars, it would be so easy for
Speaker 6: this indictment to completely bankrupt him.
Speaker 3: This is a classic case of you've bitten the hand
Speaker 3: that was feeding you. Right, he's left, but not quite
Speaker 3: left enough to be left alone. And the other interesting
Speaker 3: thing about this is he's turning himself in next week
Speaker 3: to the FEDS. Can you imagine if he was a Republican,
Speaker 3: he wouldn't get to turn himself in.
Speaker 2: There would have been a dawn raid by the FBI.
Speaker 8: And everybody else kicked down.
Speaker 4: Now, I think Trump was able to rock up and
Speaker 4: turn himself in. That's why he got his famous mode
Speaker 4: shot the face that launched a thousand votes. It is
Speaker 4: just possible though that maybe this guy did do something wrong.
Speaker 4: Is that we don't know, and I think he's accused
Speaker 4: of getting campaign finance undeclared.
Speaker 3: Or he was receiving money illegally from the Turkish government
Speaker 3: in return.
Speaker 4: Who are some pretty bad dudes, like the Turkish Duan
Speaker 4: is not, you know, the nicest guy in the world.
Speaker 4: He's got some pretty freaky policies, pretty fundamentalists. So you know,
Speaker 4: this guy could be in the pocket of some pretty
Speaker 4: nasty the indeed dictators.
Speaker 6: And those probes regarding potentially donations for his mayoral campaign
Speaker 6: back in twenty twenty one, getting potentially these funds from
Speaker 6: Turkey that began last November. So again, we don't know
Speaker 6: if this indictment is related to that pro whether it's
Speaker 6: something different entirely, but Adams is making this about the
Speaker 6: fact that he's been a champion for the people. He
Speaker 6: has been standing up for New York, and that's why
Speaker 6: the Feds are after him, and he's going to fight
Speaker 6: it with every fiber of his being.
Speaker 13: My fellow New Yorkers, it is now my belief that
Speaker 13: the federal government intends to charge me with crimes.
Speaker 1: If so, these charges would.
Speaker 13: Be entirely false, based on lies, but they would not
Speaker 13: be surprising. I always knew that if I stood my
Speaker 13: ground for all of you, that I would be a target,
Speaker 13: and a target I became. For months, leaks and rumors
Speaker 13: have been aimed at me in an attempt to undermine
Speaker 13: my credibility. I would fight these injustices with every ounce
Speaker 13: of my strength.
Speaker 1: And my spirit is so off about that.
Speaker 4: Crimes, it's like it's not even you know, like surely
Speaker 4: you would get out on the front foot and you
Speaker 4: would actually say, this is what they're coming at me for.
Speaker 1: It's all rubbish, it's all lies.
Speaker 2: That the real indictment here, though, is not on Eric Adams.
Speaker 2: It's on America itself.
Speaker 3: That we're now in a situation where when charges are
Speaker 3: laid and they're political in nature, or seem to be,
Speaker 3: or at least that's the assumption.
Speaker 2: We all go straight to that point.
Speaker 3: And the Biden administration has created that situation where now
Speaker 3: everyone's a cynic, no one takes anything at face value,
Speaker 3: and no one knows who to believe, which is a
Speaker 3: hell of a way to run a country that's supposed
Speaker 3: to be the leader of the free world.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and it's hard to feel sorry for Eric Adams
Speaker 6: here because he was very quiet and very complicit when
Speaker 6: these guys were going after Trumps. Suddenly, law Fair isn't
Speaker 6: so much of a right wing conspiracy.
Speaker 8: Theory, is it?
Speaker 6: Because this is a democra essentially being pursued by his
Speaker 6: own So is it a case of them wanting him
Speaker 6: out of the way or is it a case of,
Speaker 6: like you say, Joe, these these allegations of him receiving
Speaker 6: money from Turkey and now having links not just from Turkey,
Speaker 6: but other shall we say, unsavory countries not want to
Speaker 6: be associated with the probe.
Speaker 8: It seems to be growing day by day.
Speaker 4: And I would just know the previous grab we saw
Speaker 4: where he listed all the people who were coming into
Speaker 4: New York via the southern borders. He complained about the Venezuelans.
Speaker 4: He complained about the Ecuadorians, he complained about the Russians,
Speaker 4: the Western Africans, about the Turks.
Speaker 3: The other thing, Eric Adams will be very suspicious. Eric
Speaker 3: Adams is not afraid to play the race card either,
Speaker 3: So if this persecution over his views on immigration doesn't work,
Speaker 3: you can bet he'll say it's because I will tell
Speaker 3: African American staying overseas. We talked about Kirs Starmer, the
Speaker 3: Prime Minister of the UK, who's having a pretty bad week,
Speaker 3: to be honest. Speaking at the Labor Conference the other night,
Speaker 3: he promised English people that he was about to take
Speaker 3: control of their lives, as if that's something they really
Speaker 3: were excited to hear. He also promised that he would
Speaker 3: not shy away from being unpopular, and on that score
Speaker 3: he's probably doing a pretty good job. But he's gotten
Speaker 3: even more unpopular today after it was revealed that a
Speaker 3: video he made during the pandemic urging people to stay
Speaker 3: at home for your own good, for your own safety,
Speaker 3: you just need to stay at home and indoors. He
Speaker 3: was filming that not from his own place, but from
Speaker 3: a penthouse worth eighteen million pounds owned by one of
Speaker 3: Labour's donors.
Speaker 2: Now he's done.
Speaker 3: What every great politician would do. He's blamed his kid.
Speaker 3: He said, Look, it wasn't my fault. I had to
Speaker 3: stay in this eighteen million dollar penthouse because my son
Speaker 3: was doing his school exams and if we're in our house,
Speaker 3: there's me here out the front, in the middle of
Speaker 3: the pandemic, and he would have been distracted. And I
Speaker 3: promised my son, I will help you to focus on
Speaker 3: your exams. And that's why, while you were all in
Speaker 3: your homes, I had to be housed in an eighteen
Speaker 3: million pound tent house.
Speaker 2: Joe, is anyone buying this excuse? And what about his son?
Speaker 4: I like kiss arm been very good for the Labor Party,
Speaker 4: but it does appear to he does appear to have
Speaker 4: thrown his son.
Speaker 1: Under a bright red double decker us.
Speaker 2: It's just like.
Speaker 1: It's very frustrating.
Speaker 4: I mean, firstly, yes, there may well have been you know,
Speaker 4: it may well have been a case for his son
Speaker 4: going somewhere else and being able to study for his
Speaker 4: GCSS like our HSC in Peace doesn't have to. That
Speaker 4: doesn't explain why it's an eighteen million pound penthouse. Though
Speaker 4: there are plenty of others.
Speaker 2: Your exams are very important.
Speaker 4: Exams are very important, but they're not you know, forty
Speaker 4: million Australian important, you know. Again, So it's kind of
Speaker 4: it's that sort of false equivalency that politicians off and
Speaker 4: do say, you know, why did you you know, why
Speaker 4: did you build a house full of you know, out
Speaker 4: of solid gold?
Speaker 1: So well, everyone needs somewhere to live.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but that does it didn't have to be that house,
Speaker 4: you know, I didn't.
Speaker 1: Have it out.
Speaker 4: Incidentally, I think President heard one of Turkey has a
Speaker 4: gold toilet in the toilet in the presidential Palace. Everyone's
Speaker 4: going to go to the bus and everyone's got to
Speaker 4: go to the toilet, right, We're all human, and so
Speaker 4: it's just it's just such a terrible look. I don't
Speaker 4: want labor MPs going around wearing hair shirts or saying
Speaker 4: that rich people are terrible. But there's a difference between
Speaker 4: that and actually living high on the hog and.
Speaker 2: The other problem.
Speaker 3: I mean, he's just said he's going to cut money
Speaker 3: was being provided to elderly Brits so they could afford heating.
Speaker 2: He's not going to do that.
Speaker 3: He's making changes to private schooling, which will affect military
Speaker 3: families get discounted. Meanwhile, he's this beautiful penthouse, so.
Speaker 4: You forget he's selflessness. He is selflessly staying at that penthouse,
Speaker 4: had no expense to give them children higher because it's
Speaker 4: been given to him for free by a millionaire labor
Speaker 4: law and he was.
Speaker 2: Doing it for kids, and he was.
Speaker 1: Doing it for the kids he's helping.
Speaker 6: It also doesn't help that this is off the back
Speaker 6: of revelations that he's received over sixteen thousand pounds worth
Speaker 6: of other freebies in terms of work clothing, some spectacles,
Speaker 6: a private dresser for his wife. So naturally there's a
Speaker 6: few Brits feeling like, mate, you're really heavy on the
Speaker 6: government when you're in opposition for them, living high on
Speaker 6: the hog and enjoying the benefits of being in power,
Speaker 6: and now you're turning out to be one of the
Speaker 6: worst of the lock.
Speaker 4: Can I just quickly say, on the subject of the
Speaker 4: sixteen thousand pounds for work clothing and glasses should have
Speaker 4: gone to Specsavers.
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, I just had to add is sponsored by Specsavers,
Speaker 6: Ladies and gentlemen to Brisbane now, where you guys must
Speaker 6: be shocked to find out that a simple trip into
Speaker 6: your CBD will capture your facial data and details.
Speaker 8: More than four hundred times. Get this.
Speaker 6: While Brisbane City Council operates three thousand, seven hundred and
Speaker 6: fifty surveillance cameras, with hundreds more on all forms of
Speaker 6: public transport. They say no, no, we don't use facial recognition.
Speaker 6: But this is doing the dodgy on you guys, because
Speaker 6: these cameras work alongside the Police Department's q face, which
Speaker 6: compares live footage against a database of millions of images.
Speaker 6: So they're not using facial recognition, but somebody else using
Speaker 6: their over three thousand, seven hundred and fifty cameras certainly is.
Speaker 6: Griffith University Senior lecturer David Tuffy said most people do
Speaker 6: not realize how prevalent it is within Brisbane City Council
Speaker 6: operating all those cameras. It allows for the quick identification
Speaker 6: of individuals, including those with outstanding arrest warrants. Very interesting.
Speaker 6: This reminds me of the time in twenty twenty two
Speaker 6: where Bunnings, The Good Guys and Kmart were busted for
Speaker 6: using facial recognition. Nobody out of the millions of people
Speaker 6: who would frequent those stores.
Speaker 8: Years and years out.
Speaker 6: Now nobody's permission is asked, why do you need facial recognition?
Speaker 6: Aren't security cameras enough for the purposes that all three
Speaker 6: stores said, Oh, this is why we use it for,
Speaker 6: you know, just for security purposes, just to make sure
Speaker 6: people aren't stealing our product.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's what your.
Speaker 6: Garden variety surveillance cameras are for, not facial recognition.
Speaker 8: I swear this is so dodgy.
Speaker 1: I think the.
Speaker 4: Bunnings and Kmart and good guys case, I think they
Speaker 4: were saying that they would those problem casts shoplifters who
Speaker 4: had come into the shop before, would be able to
Speaker 4: be recognized.
Speaker 8: Everybody else's rights before.
Speaker 4: But I think people would indeed be amazed by how much.
Speaker 4: I mean, I remember when the CCTV debate around Sydney
Speaker 4: came out and now all these cct but this is
Speaker 4: before facial recognition was even possible. This was decades ago that,
Speaker 4: you know, and people were outraged about this, and then
Speaker 4: everyone just went and everyone just got on with their lives,
Speaker 4: didn't notice it, didn't care. And I feel like it
Speaker 4: will be one of those things which will either be
Speaker 4: just completely benign and no one will know and no
Speaker 4: one will care or something really weird like kind of
Speaker 4: you know, minority report style will happen and someone and
Speaker 4: it could almost be cut us right, because the other
Speaker 4: thing is, if you're going to have that much surveillance,
Speaker 4: you kind of almost might as well, Like it's weird
Speaker 4: to sort of say, oh, we're going to have all
Speaker 4: this surveillance that's watching you and draw the lines of
Speaker 4: facial recognition. Oh we've got the footage of the guy
Speaker 4: holding up the bank.
Speaker 1: Oh right, who is it? We don't know.
Speaker 3: You know how many CCTV cameras it will take to
Speaker 3: finally make Brisbane safe, don't you Just a couple of
Speaker 3: thousand more? And that's the argument, this is going to
Speaker 3: make the place safe. Well, how's that going, Queensland? Not
Speaker 3: that well, although I do think Liz, next time you're
Speaker 3: in Brisbane. And I know during COVID you were a
Speaker 3: big proponent of not having to wear a mask, but
Speaker 3: I could see you walking through the Brisbane CBD all
Speaker 3: masked up, not.
Speaker 8: Because of COVID, perfect dad.
Speaker 2: Just avoiding the facial recognition.
Speaker 6: But this is always the trade off that government gives you,
Speaker 6: right your privacy for the safety that we will provide
Speaker 6: you get stuffed.
Speaker 8: I'm not a child.
Speaker 6: You want to keep me safe online, you want to
Speaker 6: keep me safe on public transport, that's fine, use your CCTV.
Speaker 6: You're not going to find me doing anything illegal, and
Speaker 6: you will find the bad is doing something illegal, and
Speaker 6: they're usually in your system.
Speaker 8: Anyway.
Speaker 6: That system has worked for years. So with regard to
Speaker 6: what you were saying there, Joe about you know, back
Speaker 6: in the day, CTV was considered also controversial, and now
Speaker 6: everyone's become okay with it, I think we do need
Speaker 6: to revisit those conversations as the technology gets more and
Speaker 6: more sophisticated.
Speaker 1: Night where everyone's going.
Speaker 4: To be microchip for their own safety, or everyone's going,
Speaker 4: you know, like they're having China, everyone will have a
Speaker 4: social credit that you can build up.
Speaker 6: I mean, naive if we don't think there's already some
Speaker 6: form of that already taking place. Why do you need
Speaker 6: to gather this much data on us? If you're not
Speaker 6: putting together some sort of portfolio to tell the state? Absolutely,
Speaker 6: I mean they've already got everything from a fingerprint to
Speaker 6: a europe.
Speaker 3: Remember we talked about in the UK eight train stations
Speaker 3: were using facial recognition. It was being passed on to
Speaker 3: a psychologist to assess people's moods.
Speaker 2: Yes, and you can just imagine.
Speaker 3: The next step is where police suspects someone of coming
Speaker 3: a crime and they look for the mood technology to
Speaker 3: work out while he was angry at the time that
Speaker 3: we used in evidence as a court of law. You
Speaker 3: can see where this keeps going in your right. At
Speaker 3: some point you've got to draw a line. And that's
Speaker 3: as far as it goes.
Speaker 4: Speaking have that mood technology as Matt mood detective technology
Speaker 4: as well. It's called the Daily Telegraph, and it's always angry.
Speaker 3: Speaking of amazing technology, Mark Zuckerberg unveiled this week the
Speaker 3: technology that should replace your iPhone. Everything instead will be
Speaker 3: visible through a pair of high tech glasses.
Speaker 2: Here he is showing them off, and.
Speaker 11: If I do say so, the most advanced glasses the
Speaker 11: world has ever seen, less than one hundred grams. They
Speaker 11: need wide field of view, holographic displays sharp enough to
Speaker 11: pick up details where this isn't passed through. This is
Speaker 11: the physical world with holograms overlaid on it.
Speaker 3: So you wear these glasses and your text messages will
Speaker 3: literally come up in your line of sight while you're
Speaker 3: still able to see the physical world as well, or
Speaker 3: you can do a video call with somebody while walking
Speaker 3: through a shopping center, seeing digital and physical world simultaneously.
Speaker 3: You could watch YouTube videos while you're doing it. And
Speaker 3: the only reason it's not being released to the public
Speaker 3: is because at this stage, and you saw the glasses there,
Speaker 3: they're not exactly cool glasses from specsators.
Speaker 2: Are they They're kind of bulky and not very stylish.
Speaker 3: But as soon as they get them smaller and more stylish,
Speaker 3: they'll cost about the same as a high end laptop computer.
Speaker 3: And I reckon, whatever you think of the technology people
Speaker 3: swap immediately from a handheld phone, just seeing things in
Speaker 3: front of you, you don't get motion sickness, like.
Speaker 8: We're not attached to our devices enough.
Speaker 6: You've got your phone right there, You've got your Apple.
Speaker 8: Watches that people can never get off.
Speaker 6: You're already immediately notified of a notification. And also, how
Speaker 6: are these not going to pose a risk and a
Speaker 6: danger if you're walking along in a park, driving, paying
Speaker 6: attention to the latest text that you've got, if you're driving,
Speaker 6: I mean, I don't see how they going to meet
Speaker 6: these of health and safety friendly I reckon.
Speaker 4: I reckon this is going to be an absolute disaster.
Speaker 4: I reckon that there is that there's this, and a
Speaker 4: lot of people talking about it these days. But there
Speaker 4: has been up until now an assumption that just because
Speaker 4: we can do something that we should, or rather almost
Speaker 4: that the technology is just going to happen. It's going
Speaker 4: to be inevitable and we just have to find a
Speaker 4: way to go with the fly. And we're seeing a
Speaker 4: huge amount of pushback, for example, and social media patforms
Speaker 4: say no, actually, we're just going to say screw you.
Speaker 4: We're going to turn it off. A lot of people
Speaker 4: doing that voluntarily. We're going to ban it for kids.
Speaker 4: What everythink about that? And I think with these ones,
Speaker 4: I mean you mentioned that Apple watches. Those watches have
Speaker 4: been around. All those watches have been around for years
Speaker 4: and years and years and years more.
Speaker 1: Than a decade. Now, the takeup isn't huge.
Speaker 4: I mean every single person who's got a mobile phone,
Speaker 4: but I don't have.
Speaker 3: The problems style Apple watch just don't look good.
Speaker 1: No, that's right.
Speaker 4: But I think I think people, I think I think
Speaker 4: people want a level of separation, even if we're all
Speaker 4: addicted to our devices. I think people balk at the
Speaker 4: idea of actually being too attached to them, even just
Speaker 4: physically attached to them. The watchers haven't taken off. Also,
Speaker 4: remember you could get that microchip in you. There's only
Speaker 4: that one weird guy.
Speaker 2: We'll see, we'll see what happens with it. We're gonna
Speaker 2: go to a break.
Speaker 3: When we come back, we'll look at what's making news tomorrow,
Speaker 3: including Jim Charmers arriving in China as the Chinese test
Speaker 3: fire ballistic missiles.
Speaker 2: That's coming up in a moment.
Speaker 3: Welcome back. Well, let's take a look at what's making
Speaker 3: news tomorrow. We'll start with the Australian, where Liz Jim
Speaker 3: Charmers has arrived in China.
Speaker 8: Yes, and there he is. We've even got some footage
Speaker 8: of him arriving just for you.
Speaker 6: The splash reads a Charmers offensive to embrace the Dragon.
Speaker 8: Well, a lot of thought went into that.
Speaker 6: Jim Chalmers has warned that further slowing in China's economic
Speaker 6: growth would wreak havoc on Australia, with a drop of
Speaker 6: one percentage point in Chinese GDP growth projected to inflict
Speaker 6: about six billion dollars in lost A mess dick output
Speaker 6: Wow well, I don't suppose that Charmers visits going to
Speaker 6: be any help because he can't do much much good.
Speaker 8: For ours.
Speaker 1: Charms the taking ch Surely.
Speaker 3: In China, he's probably found an alibi for the poorly
Speaker 3: performing Australian economy, the slow down in China.
Speaker 2: It's affecting us. The narrative is already there.
Speaker 3: It's on the front page of The Australian tomorrow for
Speaker 3: him good in comparison.
Speaker 4: You know, at some point doesn't there have to be
Speaker 4: a moratorium though, of all headline writers doing Charmers offensive
Speaker 4: Like it's like it's like, I mean, I'm not having
Speaker 4: to go with the eyes. I love them and as
Speaker 4: soon as I get my pH D, I'm going to
Speaker 4: go and work there.
Speaker 1: Charming anyway, thank you very much.
Speaker 4: The producer you said next right, son of my old
Speaker 4: hometown in Melbourne where I was just last weekend, and
Speaker 4: my god, is like a ghost town.
Speaker 2: It is just terrible graffiti everywhere.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I went to dan in my old home of
Speaker 4: town and the shopping center of our Saturday afternoon. All
Speaker 4: the shops except the discount ones were basically empty.
Speaker 8: Wow.
Speaker 4: And then went up the road to south the Ara
Speaker 4: very much a tale of two cities. And even in
Speaker 4: Ritzy Turaq Road, the restaurants streets almost all bit empty.
Speaker 4: So you know, once the two Iraq tractors are starting
Speaker 4: to cop it in the old windpipe that anyway, the
Speaker 4: way says in case you're watching, but check out this.
Speaker 4: This is going to get people all hot and bothered.
Speaker 4: Brassy Dan tribute as tunnel blows out, Daniel Andrews will
Speaker 4: be immortalized in bronze. With the Allen government confirming a
Speaker 4: statue is in the work works for the divisive ex
Speaker 4: premier and indeed, as most people consider that the reason
Speaker 4: why Melbourne and Victoria more generally is in such a
Speaker 4: malays because it was the most lockdown city in the
Speaker 4: world during COVID and the state current has a debt
Speaker 4: of I think one hundred and ninety billion dollars. It's
Speaker 4: about fifty billion more than he did a statue. But
Speaker 4: all premiers, and I think it was I think it
Speaker 4: was actually Dan's decision that all premiers who serve win
Speaker 4: three elections.
Speaker 2: I think it was Jeff Kennett that or was Jeff
Speaker 2: Kell think it was Jeff Kennett.
Speaker 1: Jeff missed out on one.
Speaker 3: But he posed a certain period of time as premier,
Speaker 3: you get a statue. This is too soon that Victoria
Speaker 3: needs to wait until the memory of Dan Andrews.
Speaker 2: Has faded a little bit. This is just salt in
Speaker 2: the wound, isn't it. This is just Rumigan.
Speaker 6: Going to be the most graffiti statue of all time.
Speaker 6: There's going to be the unveiling and from that day
Speaker 6: onward it's going to have a different face. That'll be
Speaker 6: clown faces painted on it. There will be ridiculous hat.
Speaker 3: The only person happy about the Dan Andrews statue is
Speaker 3: Captain Cook because you would finally get a break.
Speaker 2: Let's go to Tasmania.
Speaker 3: The Mercury Paper is talking about poker machines. It's on
Speaker 3: the cards, reads the headline, pokey reform is coming to
Speaker 3: the Apple ale or. The Tasmanian government remains committed to
Speaker 3: retrofitting the state's twenty two hundred poker machines with pre
Speaker 3: commitment card technology, despite ongoing resistance from the hospitality industry.
Speaker 3: A parliamentary committee has heard so this is a I mean,
Speaker 3: there's different views on what we should do about problem gambling.
Speaker 3: Poker machines are a particular issue. I'm not a gambler,
Speaker 3: so I couldn't care either way. But I don't see
Speaker 3: what the problem is with prepaid cards. Yeah, to protect
Speaker 3: people from themselves.
Speaker 4: So if you're a gambler, if you're a problem gamber,
Speaker 4: say right, I'm not going I don't want to spend
Speaker 4: more than fifty bucks on the pokes tonight or whatever.
Speaker 4: And you have your card and that's programmed in. And
Speaker 4: even when you get that Russia blood to your head
Speaker 4: and you've lost forty nine to ninety nine, you think, oh.
Speaker 1: I can get it all back.
Speaker 4: It stops you from doing that and you have to
Speaker 4: go outside and go home, maybe have a little sleep,
Speaker 4: you know, take the misses out for a parmi and
Speaker 4: think twice about it. So I think it's good, sensible, moderate.
Speaker 3: And because you had the prepaid card, you can afford
Speaker 3: the party exactly there are and your wife stays with you.
Speaker 4: Oh well, look at clubs around the country. Their prices
Speaker 4: are so affordably. If could afford the parmy even without.
Speaker 6: The pre paid wins around to the front page of
Speaker 6: the Courier. Mound Now Brisbane coach pays ultimate.
Speaker 8: Price after season's failure. Bronc shock.
Speaker 6: Is it really after such a failure, Is it really
Speaker 6: such a shock?
Speaker 8: Kevy gone?
Speaker 6: Kevin Walters is set to leave the Brisbane Broncos coaching job.
Speaker 6: It can be revealed Walters has severed ties with the
Speaker 6: Broncos immediately following a club wide review in the wake
Speaker 6: of Brisbane's shock free fall to finish twelfth this season.
Speaker 8: Where have they normally finished?
Speaker 3: Well, this is the point. Last year they made the
Speaker 3: Grand Final. He took the team over a few years
Speaker 3: ago and the team was an absolute disaster. He got
Speaker 3: them to a Grand Final which they just lost, and
Speaker 3: then this year because they didn't perform so well, he's
Speaker 3: out the door.
Speaker 1: So lately.
Speaker 2: What the players have done not that much, evidently.
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on Kevin Balter's performance over the years.
Speaker 6: He's asking me this because I literally said, I can't
Speaker 6: intro this story. I don't know the first thing about
Speaker 6: this bloke called the Broncos.
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of people are saying that, you know.
Speaker 6: Yes, what an illustrious career he has had.
Speaker 3: Joe, Let's go to the Gold Coast Bulletin. They're leading
Speaker 3: with what the el minister billionaire wants A Scanlon step
Speaker 3: in overstalled project. Billionaire developer Bob l has demanded State
Speaker 3: Housing Minister Megan Scanlon intervene on his four thousand home
Speaker 3: Cumraate development. Now, this development has been approved by the council,
Speaker 3: it's been approved by the state government, but it's stalled
Speaker 3: awaiting federal environmental approvals. I thought, we're in the middle
Speaker 3: of a housing crisis, and the federal government keeps saying
Speaker 3: we're doing everything to address this and fix this, and
Speaker 3: they rattle off all the money they've committed on all
Speaker 3: the programs that they have entitled, and yet here we've
Speaker 3: got a four thousand home development. It's all been approved,
Speaker 3: but the federal governments still haven't signed off on it environmental.
Speaker 4: It's the exact reversal of what the normal problem is.
Speaker 4: So usually, you know, the federal government sets a housing
Speaker 4: target and the states say, right, we're going to implement
Speaker 4: this housing target and put them there, and we say,
Speaker 4: there's absolutely no way, not in my backyard, we're not
Speaker 4: going to do it. And now it's the council saying yes,
Speaker 4: and the state government's saying yes, and then the Fed's going, actually,
Speaker 4: there might be a you know, green and golden bell
Speaker 4: frog there somewhere, which is just.
Speaker 6: Ridiculous because they are completely failing with regard to their
Speaker 6: own target that supposedly kicked off in July.
Speaker 8: None of us can tell you'd think.
Speaker 6: They'd be gagging at this opportunity. Just sign off on it.
Speaker 6: You've got a developer, he's raring to go.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, we're going to go to a break when we
Speaker 2: come back. Coca Cola.
Speaker 3: Ban the names Jesus and Trump from personalized cans, will show.
Speaker 2: You in just a moment, welcome back. Now.
Speaker 3: This is an incredible story. Coca Cola is have got
Speaker 3: these personalized cans, but they're not for everybody.
Speaker 6: Apparently, no video has recently gone viral pointing out the
Speaker 6: fact that these guys won't allow the word Trump or
Speaker 6: Jesus to be put on their personalized cans. Everyone's wondering
Speaker 6: what the heck Coca Cola.
Speaker 8: Check out this.
Speaker 6: Video illustrating someone trying to use Jesus or Trump, but
Speaker 6: he can use every other person under the sun.
Speaker 5: You can put Allah loves you, or you be even
Speaker 5: let me sing yourself, me lets you track it out,
Speaker 5: Buddha loves you.
Speaker 1: But that even take in the word Jesus. We cannot
Speaker 1: allow this text when the camp.
Speaker 8: Are you surprised? Are you really surprised?
Speaker 6: Well, you won't be surprised any longer when I tell
Speaker 6: you that the three biggest stakeholders in Coca Cola are
Speaker 6: Black Rock, Vanguard, and State Street. These guys take every
Speaker 6: opportunity to push their agenda. They do nothing to hide it.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't it be them like that?
Speaker 4: There would be a program that would be in there
Speaker 4: say any words that could potentially like that would actively
Speaker 4: sort of flag words that were no go zones to
Speaker 4: cause controversy.
Speaker 1: And obviously forgot.
Speaker 4: To put in Allah and Buddha and everything, but decided
Speaker 4: that was, oh yeah, just it could be the.
Speaker 2: Other way around.
Speaker 8: I'm sure.
Speaker 1: Inuating so no, I reckon that they would have.
Speaker 4: There would have been someone who said, it's like in
Speaker 4: the iPhone, you know, when you do predictive text and
Speaker 4: it won't let you swear, which is very unfair to ducks,
Speaker 4: by the what.
Speaker 3: But they forgot to put in Trump as well, that's.
Speaker 4: Right, would have they would have put in those words
Speaker 4: We're going to make sure for our brand management, we're
Speaker 4: not going to allow any of these controversial words. And
Speaker 4: they would have put in Trump. They would have put
Speaker 4: in Jesus. They would have put in all those ones
Speaker 4: on the band, but other people were forgot to put it.
