Speaker 1: On Sky News Australia starts now.
Speaker 2: This is Outside, Good morning and welcome to Outsiders, the
Speaker 2: show that is to cringeworthy political pr stunts designed to
Speaker 2: make politicians look more human rather than focusing on their
Speaker 2: terrible opinion polls. What Anthony Albanesi is too erotic? Since
Speaker 2: Romance on Valentine's Day?
Speaker 3: Who reached out first?
Speaker 1: Who dresses the best?
Speaker 2: This is?
Speaker 1: But who's the much stubborn? Here's your biggest bunny fan?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 5: Yes, Romeo and Juliet, Anthony and Clear, Pat Track, Kathy.
Speaker 3: And Heathcliff eat your hearts out? You've got nothing on
Speaker 3: albow and Jody? Who said I love you first?
Speaker 1: Same time? Same time? It was definitely the same time.
Speaker 6: Yeah, who's one who had.
Speaker 3: The best music taste?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 3: No, make it song?
Speaker 7: Excuse me.
Speaker 8: There's a little bit much for a Sunday morning. But
Speaker 8: there's some good news that if the interrogators at Guantanago
Speaker 8: Bay are looking for a new way to get people
Speaker 8: to talk, well you just please, team they'll be begging
Speaker 8: for Bercy.
Speaker 9: Who gives Tita the most treats?
Speaker 3: Yeah that would be me.
Speaker 10: Who's most likely to get lost even using a GPS
Speaker 10: I think we both.
Speaker 1: Pretty good on navigating.
Speaker 9: You were too quick then I've never gone luft really
Speaker 9: on the half of Gadie and I Happy Valentine Today Australia.
Speaker 5: Happy Valentine's Stage one year since we got a game.
Speaker 3: Who wants to throw up?
Speaker 7: First?
Speaker 2: And in the meantime, while Albow and Jody head off upstairs,
Speaker 2: let's grab the lady outsid news. Ye anyway, even funnier.
Speaker 2: Even funnier was this morning on Andrew Clenell's excellent show,
Speaker 2: which we've just finished. Before us, both Peter Dutton and
Speaker 2: Claire O'Neill of the Labor Party on a minister. We're
Speaker 2: talking about Kevin Right, our favorite person here on this show.
Speaker 2: Dutton's of the opinion that Rudd should be punted or
Speaker 2: heading towards that I certainly backed at onion Rubbs should
Speaker 2: have been hunted long ago, will be punted mark these
Speaker 2: words and deserves to be punted. Claire O'Neil, however, thinks differently.
Speaker 2: Let's listen to the two points of view. This is
Speaker 2: a very balanced show, so let's have a listen.
Speaker 11: It's not a yes or no answer that can be given.
Speaker 11: We have to have an ambassador who is in our
Speaker 11: country's best interests. Kevin obviously is an accomplished person as
Speaker 11: Prime Minister of our country, and if he's the best
Speaker 11: person for the job, then he should stay in the job.
Speaker 11: If it turns out that he's had no access to
Speaker 11: the White House and no real influence in relation to
Speaker 11: this issue or whatever the next issue might be, then
Speaker 11: you would have to reassess his position. But at the
Speaker 11: moment we're being told that he's effective in his advocacy
Speaker 11: in the administration. I suppose time will tell.
Speaker 2: So you'd make a judgment call once you hit off,
Speaker 2: once you got some more information.
Speaker 11: But having said that, my instinct would be to leave
Speaker 11: him in the job. But if again, if there are
Speaker 11: insurmountable problems that he has or that the administration has
Speaker 11: with him, then that would make it very difficult.
Speaker 10: There is not a single person on the planet that
Speaker 10: I would have as Australian ambassador to Washington than Kevin Rudd.
Speaker 10: Kevin Rudd is a global expert in relations regarding China,
Speaker 10: which is of course one of the most important issues
Speaker 10: that we confront and will continue to confront. He's one
Speaker 10: of the most assiduous, hard working, diligent patriots of our country,
Speaker 10: and he's doing a fantastic job.
Speaker 2: Well, Hyperba hyperball, Clara, you've just earned yourself a spot
Speaker 2: on Hyperbare. That was hilarious, Clarina, Obviously you weren't talking
Speaker 2: about Kevin Rudd. You're talking about someone completely different. This
Speaker 2: is the same Kevin right, of course, who was so
Speaker 2: said such horrible rude things about Donald Trump over the years,
Speaker 2: and who, by the way, was a complete disaster of
Speaker 2: a prime minister in this country.
Speaker 5: Reader, he was knifed by his own, who is loath
Speaker 5: by his own. No one hates Kevin Rudd more than
Speaker 5: people within the Labor Party.
Speaker 3: Let's be honest.
Speaker 5: Here, and to suggest that his expertise with China makes
Speaker 5: him fit to be ambassador in the year of what.
Speaker 12: How does that?
Speaker 3: Maybe?
Speaker 5: Send him to China, Send him to Beijing, then maybe
Speaker 5: he'll do some good there if he's not accusing them
Speaker 5: of rat effing him. Remember that we haven't forgotten that
Speaker 5: that wasn't very diplomatic. The facts are that he has
Speaker 5: been talking.
Speaker 3: Like a first year arts student.
Speaker 5: He has been spewing all sorts of absolute nonsense about
Speaker 5: Donald Trump and the whole Maga movement, and he's not
Speaker 5: going to be accepted because they know his form, they
Speaker 5: are not going to have anything like a decent working
Speaker 5: relationship with him. So for Peter Dutton to sort of
Speaker 5: qualify whether he would stay or go, I think is
Speaker 5: a little bit weak. I know he said, well, you
Speaker 5: know the relationship is beyond mending, then he has to go.
Speaker 3: It's pretty clear.
Speaker 8: It is exactly really you said that nobody loves Kevin
Speaker 8: rod Lake's former colleagues of the Liver Party, but nobody
Speaker 8: loves loves Kevin Rudd more than Kevin Rudd. So not
Speaker 8: forget that there. But you know, for Peter Dutton here,
Speaker 8: I think he needs to remember who here is, you know,
Speaker 8: running for the role of prime minister, and who is
Speaker 8: actually in the role of diplomatic Peter Dutton's being far
Speaker 8: too diplomatic, I think about that. Kevin Rudd I think
Speaker 8: has been a debacle as the US ambassador, and for
Speaker 8: a simple reason. You know, we know that he does
Speaker 8: not like trust, want to talk to it all looks
Speaker 8: down on Trump and the whole MAGA movement. You cannot
Speaker 8: have somebody as our ambassador to our closest and most
Speaker 8: important trading and strategic and economic ally without you know,
Speaker 8: when that person is somebody who treats the government there
Speaker 8: as a as hostile territory, it simply doesn't work.
Speaker 2: Can put in a requests quickly, Rady? Can I put
Speaker 2: in a request? Can Peter Dutton please get some new advises?
Speaker 2: Playing seriously, seriously, Peter Dutton should be out there saying
Speaker 2: we've got to get rid of Tomorrow, We've got to
Speaker 2: get rid of him. Peter Dutton will be talking to
Speaker 2: Professor and Plymber in a second about this, and he's
Speaker 2: got some very strong views on this. But we should
Speaker 2: be saying, Peter Dutton, Peter Dutton should be saying, we're
Speaker 2: going to pull out of Paris. We're going to follow America,
Speaker 2: We're going to abandon that zero because we are interested
Speaker 2: in having a successful economy, not one that is hampered
Speaker 2: and hammered by these ridiculous net zero targets which are
Speaker 2: destroying the country, destroying our economy. And Kevin Rudd was
Speaker 2: one of the ones who put us into Paris. He
Speaker 2: should be punted. And Dutton should be man enough to
Speaker 2: stand up and say I'm going to make Australia great again,
Speaker 2: and I'm going to do it by abandoning net zero,
Speaker 2: pulling out of Paris, punting Kevin right, and the list
Speaker 2: goes on, can we please get rid of these liberal advisors,
Speaker 2: these bedwetters who sit around going, oh, let's just be
Speaker 2: a little bit like kind of like the Teals and
Speaker 2: let's be a little bit light labor. Let's be a
Speaker 2: little bit Mike, Marc and Turnbull. And it didn't work.
Speaker 1: You've failed.
Speaker 2: Now get out and get some proper what's the word
Speaker 2: I'm looking for, James back. I was going to say
Speaker 2: kahonas I was going to practice my Spanish, but anyway,
Speaker 2: back line into the liberal body so you can win.
Speaker 1: My god, how hot is it? It is so exactly right,
Speaker 1: I mean it is. You know.
Speaker 8: The thing is, we don't have a lot of time here.
Speaker 8: There's not a long time at all. And these are
Speaker 8: positions which should have been staked out years ago, really,
Speaker 8: like you know, around climate, and you've got all of this.
Speaker 8: You know, there's so much anger out there in the
Speaker 8: community about so many things.
Speaker 1: Exactly.
Speaker 8: We're talking to you a little bit later about how
Speaker 8: people in rural communities are absolutely furious about what's happening
Speaker 8: to their land and their communities because of net zero,
Speaker 8: the drive to put high voltage power lines through productive farmland,
Speaker 8: to turn productive farmland into wind farms and solar farms,
Speaker 8: and what it is doing to these people, these farmers
Speaker 8: and our agricultural security, which is our food security, which
Speaker 8: is our economic security, which is our national security.
Speaker 2: And a lot we saw being heckled Rita on a
Speaker 2: couple of days ago out there in Woollongong. We're beautiful
Speaker 2: woo and Gong, wonderful, beautiful part of the world, as
Speaker 2: gorgeous beaches of jering Gong all down there, Jambreu and
Speaker 2: here you've got these clowns sticking these ridiculous windmills out there.
Speaker 2: Quite rightly, the public said no, thank you to Albo.
Speaker 2: There's one of the characters. Have a listen. Maybe you
Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 9: The importance of the still industry for this electric My
Speaker 9: message is very clear, which has Webb got your back.
Speaker 7: We support blue collar jobs. Know that we support still works.
Speaker 1: Here.
Speaker 9: I don't think people who are shoutings.
Speaker 2: No, the people were shouting and represent real Australians. Yes,
Speaker 2: the people standing there in the group were the ones
Speaker 2: that were flown in by the PR group. I imagine
Speaker 2: that I don't know Rita.
Speaker 5: Well, those offshore wind farms are enormously unpopular with anyone
Speaker 5: who's unlucky enough to have it thrust upon their community.
Speaker 3: And James, you said, people in.
Speaker 5: The regional areas are very alarmed about what's happening.
Speaker 3: All of us should be alarmed.
Speaker 5: Just because you live in the big cities and you
Speaker 5: don't drive out of a fifty kilometer radius too often,
Speaker 5: you should not be ignorant about what's happening.
Speaker 3: Well, here's why, regional areas.
Speaker 1: But here's why.
Speaker 8: Here's why, because you know these communities, Yes, they're all
Speaker 8: getting torn apart by this stuff. But this whole net
Speaker 8: zero push everybody who lives in the cities. It's in
Speaker 8: the cities where we're being told, Hey, don't turn your
Speaker 8: air conditioner on on a hot day, don't run the
Speaker 8: dishwasher a certain hour if you don't mind. The whole
Speaker 8: net zero agenda is about limiting what you can do,
Speaker 8: and that affects absolutely everybody, whether you're a greenie living
Speaker 8: in a terrace house in Paddington or if you are
Speaker 8: living outside Guldburn or outside wherever in Country New South
Speaker 8: Wales or Country Victoria or Country South Australia.
Speaker 2: But also reads that net zero is the biggest tax
Speaker 2: you can put on every single aspects of business. These
Speaker 2: people complaining about, oh, Donald Trump's going to put on
Speaker 2: tariffs on this, tariffs ain't nothing. Net zero is lastly,
Speaker 2: much more amounts of money being crippling our industries, crippling
Speaker 2: our manufacturing than ever tariffs will be a problem. It's
Speaker 2: net zero that with that is what is destroying our
Speaker 2: economy going forward. And we've got to get to grips
Speaker 2: of that in the Liberal Party, and we've got a
Speaker 2: man up and say this is the problem.
Speaker 5: Right Well absolutely, and Tim Blair wrote a brilliant piece
Speaker 5: through the week about how all these lefties from Labor, Greens,
Speaker 5: the Teals upset about Trump's proposed tariffs on Australian still
Speaker 5: an aluminium.
Speaker 3: You guys want a carbon tax.
Speaker 5: This is essentially a teeny tiny carbon tax. You think
Speaker 5: you'd they'd be applauding it because suddenly all these greenies
Speaker 5: and lefties are pro fossil fuel advocates.
Speaker 3: So it was very interesting you're.
Speaker 2: Not suggesting their hypocrites on I can't wait to talk.
Speaker 5: More about this with professor and Plym after the break
Speaker 5: can I just say one last thing on Kevin Rudd.
Speaker 5: You would think it would be working over time to
Speaker 5: repair relations, to try to redeem himselves in the eyes
Speaker 5: of the GOP.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 3: Inauguration day he was at an inauguration.
Speaker 5: Board the Starlight Barber All the heavy hitters were just
Speaker 5: about every key Republican.
Speaker 1: He was there for.
Speaker 3: Less than an hour. He was there, barely talked to anybody.
Speaker 5: Was there with Penny Wong, talked to Vivek Ramaswami, talked
Speaker 5: to a bunch of Australians who were there and.
Speaker 12: Gone.
Speaker 5: You would think, and an event like that where every
Speaker 5: sort of heavy hitter is in the under the same room,
Speaker 5: you would be working in the room from from start
Speaker 5: to finish, trying to just assure our greatest ally that
Speaker 5: I apologize for what I said. I don't know what
Speaker 5: I was thinking, but however you need to do to
Speaker 5: redeem yourself to be there, to be present, to show
Speaker 5: your supportive and you're on board.
Speaker 2: But no that this week is sea Pack in America.
Speaker 2: That's the Seapack conference. You remember. Outsiders was live at
Speaker 2: the Australian Seaback. We had a great time and Seapack
Speaker 2: in America is next week. That is where all the
Speaker 2: Republican heavy hitters are. They'll all be there. That is
Speaker 2: that is the holy from.
Speaker 3: The start to finish for an hour. Protect you were.
Speaker 2: There exactly so we will be. Outsiders will be crossing
Speaker 2: live too Seapack next week chatting to Warren Mundane will
Speaker 2: be there, Andrew Cooper and maybe others as well. You
Speaker 2: never know. Hey, Kevin, how about you come on Outsiders
Speaker 2: and chat to us live from Seapack. There you go, mate,
Speaker 2: Let's see how keen you really are to get in
Speaker 2: there with the new American administration. Albou. Meanwhile, you know
Speaker 2: a great phone call you had there with Trump, albat
Speaker 2: nice work. But a recovered from his disastrous phone call
Speaker 2: with Trump by having tea with the teals. Can you
Speaker 2: imagine at tea with the teals, James, they all came on.
Speaker 1: What the fun that must have been?
Speaker 2: In shame I wasn't there.
Speaker 8: Can you imagine the absolute laugh a minute?
Speaker 2: It was a smoaking seremony. Moniy Ryan could have led
Speaker 2: the smoking seremary where they will breathe.
Speaker 5: In chemical You're sorry for Anthony Albanize. It's not too
Speaker 5: often I would say this, but I actually feel sorry
Speaker 5: for the Prime minister. Can you imagine just being surrounded
Speaker 5: by those trainers for how long would that would have?
Speaker 12: That?
Speaker 8: How much fun were you hang out with your modique
Speaker 8: Ryan and Kylah till But you know, this is actually
Speaker 8: really interesting to me because what this tells me is
Speaker 8: that Albanezi is nervous. Nobody would subject themselves to the
Speaker 8: deals if they didn't think, oh my lord, I'm going
Speaker 8: to have to maybe make a deal with these people
Speaker 8: sometime in the next coming you know, weeks or a
Speaker 8: month or two to maintain my seats on the treasury benches.
Speaker 1: So there's a real this, I think.
Speaker 8: And it goes to something else that's going on here,
Speaker 8: which is that labor is now nervous apparently about.
Speaker 1: A whole number seats here.
Speaker 8: So yeah, so and this also confirms stuff that you
Speaker 8: hear if you talk to people of the Liberal Party about,
Speaker 8: you know, seats that they're confident about picking up. There's
Speaker 8: a number of seats and some of them include Gilbour
Speaker 8: and New South Wales been along in New South Wales
Speaker 8: seats in Victoria that we're all little robertson very important seats.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 8: So there's seats there that are that now needs I
Speaker 8: think twenty seats when it is all right, but there
Speaker 8: I know also the Liberals are confidence about a number
Speaker 8: of other seats that aren't even on this list. So
Speaker 8: this goes to show just how concerned I think Labor
Speaker 8: is right now about their state at the coming election.
Speaker 8: And one of the really interesting things that we've seen
Speaker 8: here is that if you look at some of that
Speaker 8: seat by seat stuff that came out a few weeks ago,
Speaker 8: the seats where Labor has the weakest holds are the
Speaker 8: ones where the liberal or the electorate has the most
Speaker 8: liberal positions.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Interesting, Yeah, the definitely we've got to see. You know,
Speaker 2: the attack on the Teals is absolutely critical, but it's not,
Speaker 2: as Rita keeps saying, it's not all about pandering to
Speaker 2: the Teals. It's attacking the Teals on the points of
Speaker 2: principle as to why they're wrong. I still have my letter.
Speaker 2: I carry around my letter where the Teals all signed
Speaker 2: the letter demanding more financing going to ANOIR if there
Speaker 2: weren't anyone else to provide aid to Gaza. Now have
Speaker 2: they retracted that letter, Have they said, oh, actually we
Speaker 2: would like to see Nadeld' Anois around the world is
Speaker 2: recognized as basically being a front for hamas have the
Speaker 2: Teals step forward and apologize to the people in their
Speaker 2: electorates for having gone down that route. So as we say,
Speaker 2: if Labor wants to play foot seas with the Teals,
Speaker 2: let every person and every Teal electric remember these people
Speaker 2: will just guarantee you another labor government. If that's what
Speaker 2: you want, vote Teal. If you don't want Labor, vote
Speaker 2: the Teals out and make sure everyone you know, your
Speaker 2: neighbors and your friends will always do the same thing.
Speaker 2: They are poisoned.
Speaker 5: I would go one step further. I do believe they're
Speaker 5: poison like the Greens. In fact, the Greens and the
Speaker 5: Tills is very little between them.
Speaker 3: The Greens are just a little bit.
Speaker 5: More radical, but they're both left of the Labor Party.
Speaker 5: And you would much rather have Labor govern in their
Speaker 5: own right than have to form any sort of a
Speaker 5: coalition with the Tills or the Greens, because that would
Speaker 5: be an even worse government than what we have seen
Speaker 5: in the last few years.
Speaker 2: And speaking of toxic lefties, Sydney City Council is basically
Speaker 2: that's the clover More. Why the people of Sydney City
Speaker 2: voted this person back into power as mayor. Absolutely I
Speaker 2: cannot believe. But anyway, she's kind of moving towards some
Speaker 2: kind of BDS light policy, which Jewish leaders are very
Speaker 2: angry about.
Speaker 8: James, Yeah, I mean, so this involves doing things like
Speaker 8: scrapping their contracts with Hewlett Packard, which has links to Israel.
Speaker 8: A number of companies I mean have links to Israel's
Speaker 8: and you know, it's ridiculous because so much software and
Speaker 8: computing technology is all developed in Israel. And this is
Speaker 8: again part of some weird BADS thing. I thought we
Speaker 8: had been done with the boycott devestment sanctions thing with
Speaker 8: local councils years ago. I mean the old Merrickville Council
Speaker 8: which is now the Inner West Council city they did
Speaker 8: this ten fifteen years ago, you know, and they got
Speaker 8: to chatted down for it.
Speaker 1: Why in the middle of.
Speaker 8: The situation that we're in right now with anti Semitism
Speaker 8: in this country, you'd even think about this sort of thing,
Speaker 8: I think is just appalling.
Speaker 5: Well, it's a Greens led motion. Are we surprised this
Speaker 5: is what they do? And we've got to really call
Speaker 5: out any local council any local government entity that wants
Speaker 5: to grandstand on national international issues, stay in your bloody lane.
Speaker 5: If you want to be in that world, then go
Speaker 5: stand for federal parliament. But if you're not good enough,
Speaker 5: if you're in local government level, then focus on.
Speaker 8: How about they do something in said boycotting Israel. How
Speaker 8: about they do stuff to bring back nightlife and life
Speaker 8: into city. It's still a debacle. Oxtra Street to debacle.
Speaker 8: All those places are a debacle and you know they've
Speaker 8: done nothing to fix that. Why don't instead of saying,
Speaker 8: hey we're going to boycott Israel, why don't we say hey,
Speaker 8: we're going to make it easier for you to open
Speaker 8: a venue or do something and have some fun or
Speaker 8: build something.
Speaker 2: But no, exactly, no, you're absolutely right. The Sydney. It's
Speaker 2: shocking in Sydney what they've done the Sydney. The ABC
Speaker 2: costs Australians more than a Netflix subscription and forty percent
Speaker 2: of Australians don't bother watching the ABC. I would have
Speaker 2: thought it was higher than that personally, but this is again,
Speaker 2: where are the liberals. Why aren't the liberals saying we
Speaker 2: are going to put the ABC onto a subscription model
Speaker 2: in the cities and we're going to only fund the regions.
Speaker 2: It's a simple policy, it's understandable, it would make money
Speaker 2: for the government, it would save the taxpayers a fortune,
Speaker 2: and it is the right thing to do. Yes, by
Speaker 2: all means support the BUSH where there's no other services
Speaker 2: that's called the public service. But where you have adequate competition,
Speaker 2: more than adequate competition, the taxpayer should not be funding
Speaker 2: the ABC at all.
Speaker 1: Well, but I'll tell you so.
Speaker 8: You know, it's so ridiculous too though, because even in
Speaker 8: the regions, you know, the readers get sky.
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of sky where they don't.
Speaker 8: But but but you know, and you talk to people
Speaker 8: in the regions, they're all watching US, They're watching Scott
Speaker 8: They're not watching ABC. You look the latest viewership numbers
Speaker 8: of the ABC. You know, they're falling off a cliff.
Speaker 8: That management there has no idea what they're doing. They're
Speaker 8: on this huge government teap where they don't have any
Speaker 8: you know, incentive for competition.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 8: The funny thing is, for some reason, I actually have
Speaker 8: a Netflix subscription of us some signed up to watch
Speaker 8: some one point.
Speaker 1: I don't watch Netflix. I don't watch the ABC.
Speaker 8: But at least I can at some point get around
Speaker 8: to canceling by Netflix if don't want to pay for it.
Speaker 5: Exactly, it is absolutely abhorrent that we are all forced
Speaker 5: to pay for this activist so called news service that
Speaker 5: does not serve the needs of the Australian community, that
Speaker 5: does makes a joke of its charter every single day.
Speaker 5: And I don't think enough is said about this. The
Speaker 5: ABC has a charter. It's not like Sky Channel ten,
Speaker 5: Channel nine. They can be as left as right or
Speaker 5: in between as they want to be. The ABC, being
Speaker 5: government funded, is obliged by law to be balanced and.
Speaker 3: To live up to its charter.
Speaker 5: It refuses to, and both sides of government, both sides
Speaker 5: of politics just kind of look the other way. Now
Speaker 5: obviously it's Labour's interest to look the other way, but
Speaker 5: the Coalision has been absolutely gutless on tackling this. Is
Speaker 5: in fact that increased funding for the ABC. The most
Speaker 5: they did for a short period was freeze funding and
Speaker 5: the ABC had a three year tantrum about it and
Speaker 5: then they increased it again.
Speaker 3: How do you justify that? How do you not have
Speaker 3: some accountability?
Speaker 2: Well, you can't justify it. And if you look at
Speaker 2: the logic of it. So the new figures are revealed
Speaker 2: that the ABC lost one million viewers or listeners in
Speaker 2: a single year with television and radio rates ratings plunging,
Speaker 2: so that means the tax burden is increased because fewer
Speaker 2: people are watching it, So those people who aren't watching
Speaker 2: it are still paying for it, which means we're all
Speaker 2: paying for something that fewer and fewer people are watching.
Speaker 2: So the pure mass and logic says the Coalition must,
Speaker 2: if they want to represent the people of Australia, say
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, we are putting this on a subscription model
Speaker 2: to find out who really wants it. It's a simple policy,
Speaker 2: you give up. Argentina has withdrawn from the World Health
Speaker 2: Organization and Italy's threatened to. This is all following Donald
Speaker 2: Trump doing the same thing. So around the world they
Speaker 2: understand Pauline Hanson has the policy here in Australia we
Speaker 2: should be withdrawing from the World Health Organization. You bet,
Speaker 2: we should be, absolutely, But of course you won't hear
Speaker 2: that from either of our major political parties. We're going
Speaker 2: to take a short break when we come back. Professory
Speaker 2: and planning, you've got Reta's reality check. Lot's happening here
Speaker 2: on our Siders. Don't go away back.
Speaker 5: You're watching Outsiders with your hosts Rowan Dean, James Mora,
Speaker 5: and I'm Reachapaney. And soon we'll be talking all things
Speaker 5: net Zany with the great Professor in Plymer. But first
Speaker 5: to the thoroughly hopeless Albanezi government and the short sighted
Speaker 5: opposition who are backing anti free speech measures with all
Speaker 5: sorts of ugly consequences to supposedly tackle the anti Semitism
Speaker 5: scourge instead of just ensuring that existing laws are implemented now.
Speaker 5: This week, Australia was again making headlines around the world
Speaker 5: for all the wrong reasons, thanks to another anti Semitic
Speaker 5: incident involving two New South Wales nurses, this time making
Speaker 5: the most vile claims and threats. Articles detailing the shocking
Speaker 5: story were published far and wide, from The Jerusalem Post,
Speaker 5: the New York Times, the BBC and The Times of India,
Speaker 5: and sadly, Australia's reputation has taken a battering again.
Speaker 3: It's taken a battering.
Speaker 5: Since October ninth, twenty twenty three, when footage of anti
Speaker 5: Israeli protest is chanting gas the Jews, or as some claim,
Speaker 5: where are the Jews went around the globe. Since then,
Speaker 5: a number of incidents have reinforced the perception that we
Speaker 5: have a growing antisemitism problem in our mids. Sadly, Jews
Speaker 5: around the world now perceive Australia very differently to just
Speaker 5: eighteen months ago. Certainly in Israel, they are all too
Speaker 5: aware of the dozens of incidents that have come to light,
Speaker 5: including acts of arson, docsing of Jewish creatives, and attacks
Speaker 5: against Jewish students. I was in Israel in mid December
Speaker 5: and was shocked by how local attitudes to Australia had
Speaker 5: changed since my last visit. Many believe that Australians are
Speaker 5: now hostile to Jews and to Israel, and they were
Speaker 5: relieved to learn that most of us haven't fallen for
Speaker 5: leftist pro palestin in propaganda. The Albanese government failure to
Speaker 5: confront a small but loud minority of anti Semites has
Speaker 5: done a great deal of damage to Australia's reputation, and
Speaker 5: now they're trying to address this issue in the most
Speaker 5: short sighted, hand fisted way imaginable by introducing new laws
Speaker 5: that essentially limit free speech. Only last week, Labour, together
Speaker 5: with the Coalition, pass more so called hate speech laws,
Speaker 5: ostensibly to tackle anti Semitism, but anyone with a modicum
Speaker 5: of foresight can see how such laws will be used
Speaker 5: and misused to attack religious freedom with a chilling effect
Speaker 5: on free speech. The Australian Association of Christian Schools was
Speaker 5: among those groups raising concerns about the legislation, knowing full
Speaker 5: well how such laws are used to silence and intimidate
Speaker 5: everyday Australians. Yet it seems both Labor and the Coalition
Speaker 5: are blind to the law of unintended consequences. They pass
Speaker 5: that ill advised legislation last week, and now they're teeming
Speaker 5: up again to propose more bad legislation that will be misused.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 5: Approximately five minutes after becoming law, a proposal to tougher
Speaker 5: workplace laws to encourage universities to sack anti Semitic staff
Speaker 5: is hair brained.
Speaker 3: To say the least.
Speaker 5: We already have laws in place, including against intimidation and
Speaker 5: incitement to violence, to tackle the anti Semitism scourge. We
Speaker 5: need authorities to actually start implementing these existing laws rather
Speaker 5: than creating new ones. So effeckless politicians can pretend that
Speaker 5: they have tackled this issue.
Speaker 3: Free speech is.
Speaker 5: A fundamental human right. We cannot afford to trample on
Speaker 5: it further and pretend it's an easy fix to an
Speaker 5: insidious problem that deserves a far more serious response. The
Speaker 5: Coalition in particular cannot afford to push legislation that is
Speaker 5: not in line with liberal values.
Speaker 2: One would have.
Speaker 5: Hoped that Peter Dutton would have learned from the Turnbull
Speaker 5: government's desire ustrous appointment of leftist activist Julianeman Grant as
Speaker 5: e Safety Commissioner, an office that was remember created to
Speaker 5: protect vulnerable children online but quickly morphed into an activist
Speaker 5: outfit that has used taxpayer funds to silence Australians sharing
Speaker 5: mainstream views online, including statements of fact like.
Speaker 3: Men cannot breastfeed.
Speaker 5: Curbing the free speech of all Australians will do nothing
Speaker 5: to meaningfully address the deep seated anti Semitism that exists
Speaker 5: in small but loud segments of our society, and talking
Speaker 5: about the Coalition compromising its core values, they cannot afford
Speaker 5: to have their chances that the upcoming federal election weakened
Speaker 5: by the tiny band of smaller liberals who continue to
Speaker 5: frustrate efforts to deliver clear messages to the electorate. Let's
Speaker 5: consider what happened in the Senate this week when the
Speaker 5: majority of Coalition senators swung behind Pauline Hans's push for
Speaker 5: an inquiry into trans treatments for children in this country.
Speaker 5: This was essentially just seeking a referral to a committee
Speaker 5: for a hearing, that's it. But a small number of
Speaker 5: bedwetters that have consistently voted with Labor and the Greens
Speaker 5: in the Senate on critical cultural issues, well they were
Speaker 5: at it again. And these people repeat offenders, I hate
Speaker 5: to say. Pauline Hanson's motion to establish a real inquiry
Speaker 5: into the human cost of experimental child gender treatments in
Speaker 5: Australia in order to give victims and their families of voice,
Speaker 5: was voted down by Labor, the Greens, the likes.
Speaker 3: O Lydia Thorpe and a number of.
Speaker 5: Liberal senators, Yes, Liberal senators standing against an inquiry into
Speaker 5: radical experimental gender treatments on children.
Speaker 3: Looking just an inquiry, that's all this was.
Speaker 5: And these are treatments that have been stopped in other countries,
Speaker 5: including the UK under a Labor government.
Speaker 3: So let's name.
Speaker 5: These five senators who fail to back the motion. We've
Speaker 5: got Andrew Bragg from New South Wales. We've got Richard
Speaker 5: Colbeck from Tasmania, Maria Kovicic from New South Wales. They
Speaker 5: all join Labor and the Greens to vote against emotion,
Speaker 5: while two others and Rusten from South Australia Jane Hume
Speaker 5: from Victoria, missed the vote. If the Coalition cannot be
Speaker 5: sound and consistent on this issue, on this issue when
Speaker 5: eighty percent of the population is on side, then it's
Speaker 5: not only lacking conviction, but blind to obvious political opportunities.
Speaker 5: And before I go, let's have a quick look at
Speaker 5: how under President Ronald Trump, the US Army is abandoning
Speaker 5: its suicideally woke recruitment ads and going with ads like this.
Speaker 3: Have a look at this later, stad.
Speaker 1: Stronger people are hard to kill.
Speaker 5: Stronger people are harder to kill games. Stronger people are
Speaker 5: harder to kill.
Speaker 3: Don't you love that?
Speaker 5: What a departure from the lunacy we had just a
Speaker 5: couple of years ago. This is how they tried to
Speaker 5: recruit under Biden and guess what, it didn't go too well.
Speaker 13: Although he had a fairly typical childhood took ballet, played violin.
Speaker 1: I also marched for equality.
Speaker 2: I like to think I've been defending freedom from an
Speaker 2: early age.
Speaker 3: Can you are to take the subtle difference there? Just
Speaker 3: a subtle difference.
Speaker 5: And you know what, even before the new Ads, as
Speaker 5: soon as Donald Trump secured his second term, recruitment numbers
Speaker 5: went through the roof. You see, Trump was clear about
Speaker 5: his vision for the country, his vision for the armed forces,
Speaker 5: and his triumph saw a big surgeon Americans joining the army. Indeed,
Speaker 5: in December twenty twenty four, the US Army had its
Speaker 5: best recruiting number in twelve years. In January that had
Speaker 5: their best recruiting numbers in fifteen years. See Leadership matters,
Speaker 5: strength matters, and respecting the wishes of the majority, also
Speaker 5: known as democracy matters. Something for our politicians to ponder.
Speaker 2: Excellent reta. Well, we're now joined by geologists Professor Ian
Speaker 2: Plymer live here in the studio. Ian, great to have
Speaker 2: you here, as always tell me about that tie of yours.
Speaker 2: It's caught my eye and the viewers will want to
Speaker 2: know the full story. There I've set you an opening here.
Speaker 1: To mar A Lago Club tie.
Speaker 13: I've been to mar Lago a couple of times, and
Speaker 13: I wear this tie on important occasions today, as she
Speaker 13: accept of course.
Speaker 2: And you were most recently there for the inn.
Speaker 13: I was in Washington for the inauguration. It started with
Speaker 13: a rally, a pretty cold night, and it was interesting
Speaker 13: to see the profile of the people. These were disenfranchised people.
Speaker 13: These were people who were suffering from the high electricity costs,
Speaker 13: from unemployment, from basically a deluded leader. And these people
Speaker 13: really are getting supported by a leader called Trump. And
Speaker 13: he's a phenomenon. We will not see the likes of
Speaker 13: another Trump again in our lives, an absolute phenomenon. And
Speaker 13: he does something which our politicians could learn from. He
Speaker 13: makes a promise and he actually sticks to it. Now
Speaker 13: that's really unusual. And we're all here waiting for our
Speaker 13: two hundred and seventy five dollars. That was a promatus.
Speaker 13: No one's got that money. So Trump is just bulldozing
Speaker 13: through policy which people knew he was going to do.
Speaker 13: Now at his rallies, these were incredible, warmed up by
Speaker 13: people like Elon Musk, Meghan Kelly who view you as
Speaker 13: would know as a regular on Paul Murray Live. It
Speaker 13: was absolute phenomenal and here is a man that can
Speaker 13: have the crowd eating out of his hand, and he
Speaker 13: does something very unusual. He speaks the truth and people
Speaker 13: actually like that.
Speaker 2: Now he's promised, he's already pulled out of the Paris Agreement,
Speaker 2: he's abandoned at zero. What can the coalition learn from
Speaker 2: Donald Trump?
Speaker 13: In Well, I can learn an enormous amount. The US, China, India,
Speaker 13: they're not in Paris. We once had the cheapest, most
Speaker 13: reliable energy systems in the world. We had coal giving
Speaker 13: us very cheap power in Victoria, a little bit more
Speaker 13: expensive in New South Wales and Queensland and Western Australia
Speaker 13: and South Australia.
Speaker 7: But we had cheap power.
Speaker 13: We have lost that because people have followed an ideological path.
Speaker 13: And this ideological path allegedly is underpinned by science. Now,
Speaker 13: if you follow the science, there is no science that
Speaker 13: demonstrates that human emissions.
Speaker 7: Drive global warming. Why are we doing it?
Speaker 1: So we're seeing countries.
Speaker 13: Like Germany and the UK go out backwards because they're
Speaker 13: following this renewables path. Trump has used something that's very
Speaker 13: very rare. It's called common sense, and going down the
Speaker 13: path was saying we have cheap coal. We have plenty
Speaker 13: of oil, not much uranium in the US, but they
Speaker 13: imported from Canada and the US as only following the
Speaker 13: cheapest path for energy that leads to a big manufacturing industry.
Speaker 13: We have no manufacturing industry now in this country because
Speaker 13: we've destroyed our energy system. So mister Dutton has to
Speaker 13: think very carefully about Paris. He actually has to think
Speaker 13: very carefully about the farms we are destroying with solar
Speaker 13: panels and wind turbines and power lines going across them.
Speaker 13: And James has had his hand up four times.
Speaker 1: Yes, the boy at the back, I'm.
Speaker 8: Going to ask you about this because I want your
Speaker 8: author I want your opinion on you know, what should
Speaker 8: Peter Dutton then be said, because he has said in
Speaker 8: the past he's going to stick around in Paris because
Speaker 8: you know, while we're in it, it is too hard
Speaker 8: to change or whatever. Yet, what I'm really interested in,
Speaker 8: you know, I don't know geology, but I do know
Speaker 8: something about economics and business. BP has said we are
Speaker 8: retreating from net zero. Macquarie Bank and all of these
Speaker 8: banks around the world are all say we are pulling back.
Speaker 1: From net zero.
Speaker 8: We are going to invest in fossil projects again, because
Speaker 8: that's where the money is. And if we don't have energy,
Speaker 8: we're not going to have economies. Why do you think
Speaker 8: the Coalition seems to be trying to garner votes in
Speaker 8: these sort of inner city seats where they still care
Speaker 8: about Paris, when it's out of the regions that people
Speaker 8: are saying, no, we've got to get out of this
Speaker 8: because this is destroying our communities, it's destroying our economy,
Speaker 8: it's strong our future.
Speaker 13: Well ready to touch on it in her editorial, the
Speaker 13: Parliamentary Liberal Party has wits. They're in the Senate and
Speaker 13: they're in the Laoah House and it's very hard for
Speaker 13: the leader sometimes to lead on matters of principle which
Speaker 13: are going to be for the benefit of the country,
Speaker 13: when you've got wet who are in the wrong party.
Speaker 1: Mister Dutton should lead.
Speaker 13: He should say, as a matter of principle, we want
Speaker 13: people to have cheap electricity in this country. We don't
Speaker 13: want these jaw dropping electricity bills that people are getting
Speaker 13: because of renewables.
Speaker 7: We want to have energy.
Speaker 13: Supporting industry and creating jobs. And he has to lead,
Speaker 13: and if he doesn't want to lead, he can then say, well,
Speaker 13: we have the biggest economy in the world just dropping
Speaker 13: that zero. We have growing economies like China and India
Speaker 13: that are not having that zero. China's building coal power
Speaker 13: stations like they're going out of fashion. We need to
Speaker 13: rebuild coal fired power stations. We need to have nuclear.
Speaker 13: We need to have a huge amount of baseload power
Speaker 13: with a peak load coming from gas and from hydro.
Speaker 13: Now we once had that system. Electricity was cheap. It
Speaker 13: isn't and we're all paying. And some people are paying
Speaker 13: with their jobs, some farmers and are losing their productive
Speaker 13: capability because they're getting these massive new power lines put
Speaker 13: over their properties.
Speaker 1: To bring renewable energy.
Speaker 13: From somewhere out in the Donga into the cities, and
Speaker 13: they can't operate equipment underneath those power lines, so they've
Speaker 13: lost acreage and they've lost areas which produce food.
Speaker 7: This is an absent travesty.
Speaker 13: A lot of the votes are in the areas around
Speaker 13: the edge of cities and in semi rural areas. Mister
Speaker 13: Darton should think callously and think, I want to chase
Speaker 13: the traditional labor vote. And these people are being destroyed
Speaker 13: by labor policies. Why should we have the Libs as
Speaker 13: a labor light, which currently they are.
Speaker 5: Well, we've seen that political realignment in the US, we've
Speaker 5: sent it in the UK, we've sent it in Australia.
Speaker 5: The Liberal Party seems to be the last bunch of
Speaker 5: people to know that there has been a switch.
Speaker 3: Those inner city affluent areas are going.
Speaker 5: Left and the working middle class are increasingly going right.
Speaker 5: What about the argument they may put forward, while we
Speaker 5: don't need to leave Paris, we can still have these
Speaker 5: net zero target it's.
Speaker 3: Because we'll get there via nuclear. What's your response to.
Speaker 13: That, Well, that argument is invalid because nuclear is going
Speaker 13: to take a long time. The second thing is you
Speaker 13: can leave Paris very very easily. It's no difficulty at all.
Speaker 13: And the third thing is we have to think of
Speaker 13: the punter, and the punter gets an absolute shock when
Speaker 13: they look at the electricity bill. The QUICKI you can
Speaker 13: bring that down, the better the more coal we can
Speaker 13: put into the system, the better we have coal fired
Speaker 13: power stations. They are discriminated against because they're black, and
Speaker 13: we shouldn't have that sort of discrimination, as we're told,
Speaker 13: And so we are actually destroying systems which can provide
Speaker 13: us with cheap twenty four to seven power and making
Speaker 13: it very expensive.
Speaker 1: It can be done.
Speaker 7: Oh a boy at the back of the cheeky one.
Speaker 2: Sir, sir, we saw Albow being heckled by about windmills.
Speaker 2: Now Donald Trump has said that's it. No more windmills.
Speaker 2: They kill whales. They're inefficient. If you believe in the
Speaker 2: carbon nonsense, they create as much as they suppose. We save.
Speaker 2: Albo is being heck. You're right that labor is so
Speaker 2: vulnerable because there's so many traditional labor, blue collar supporterers
Speaker 2: who don't buy this stuff. So again, why is it
Speaker 2: that windmills, for example, and Bowen's entire kind of solar
Speaker 2: panels explain why this can never work?
Speaker 13: Well, Bowen is supporting China with solar panels and windmills,
Speaker 13: and they're being supported at our expense. It won't work
Speaker 13: because the sun doesn't shine all the time. It's pretty
Speaker 13: obvious that we have wind routs, so we can't provide
Speaker 13: electricity twenty four to seven. The second thing is that
Speaker 13: the extra grunt that you get from wind and sol
Speaker 13: is not that that you get from coal and nuclear
Speaker 13: and gas. So if you want power for an industrial economy,
Speaker 13: seabreezes and sunbeams don't do it.
Speaker 7: They don't have enough energy.
Speaker 13: Now, mister Bowen is a very interesting character.
Speaker 7: Because he's the best thing the liberals of God, and.
Speaker 1: He should stay there.
Speaker 13: And following this ridiculous ideology with people in marginal seats
Speaker 13: looking at the electricity bill saying I'm going to vote
Speaker 13: on my electricity bill, and that can be capitalized on
Speaker 13: by the opposition.
Speaker 7: It's a vote winner.
Speaker 8: Turt it on that electricity on that you know, that
Speaker 8: that grunt you talked about about the electricity. It seems
Speaker 8: to be also just bizarre that at the same time
Speaker 8: they're doing all of this net zero stuff, whi's going
Speaker 8: to reduce our electricity, building produced power up. They're forcing
Speaker 8: us all or trying to force people into evs, many
Speaker 8: of which again come from China, and I was just
Speaker 8: reading earlier.
Speaker 1: There's a whole.
Speaker 8: New range of Chinese evs that come flooding the market
Speaker 8: here because of the way they wrote the laws, so
Speaker 8: you can have hybrids get the tax benefit, but only
Speaker 8: the evs. This seems like we are trying to make
Speaker 8: everything more electric while we're making our electricity less reliable.
Speaker 1: It seems suicidal to me.
Speaker 13: Well, I didn't know outside the studio. You're black two
Speaker 13: door V eight Mustang, so obviously you have an evs
Speaker 13: are really not for a country like Australia unless you
Speaker 13: do a couple of kilometers in the city and that's it.
Speaker 13: So evs are very expensive. They depreciate very quickly. We
Speaker 13: don't have a reliable power supply for them. If you
Speaker 13: dent underneath them, you basically have to throw the whole
Speaker 13: vehicle out. If you dent your Mustang, well it'll probably
Speaker 13: fall apart. But they're just not economical, and most countries
Speaker 13: are trying to avoid having evs yet bringing in legislation
Speaker 13: to make it more expensive to have an internal combustion engine.
Speaker 1: Yet they are more away from it now.
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh dear, this is what you mentioned, the two
Speaker 5: hundred and seventy five dollars gift that we never got
Speaker 5: the reduction in our inch bils. Never mind that my bills,
Speaker 5: and I would imagine the bills of many of the
Speaker 5: people watching have shot up by well, in my case,
Speaker 5: well over one thousand dollars. So forget about the two
Speaker 5: hundred and seventy five whenever're going to have a reckoning
Speaker 5: about the actual increases we've seen, and what sort of
Speaker 5: an opportunity does that present for the coalition in a
Speaker 5: cost of living election that they keep telling us this
Speaker 5: is all about cost of living.
Speaker 13: Well, it's a wonderful argument they can use. Where's my
Speaker 13: two hundred and seventy five dollars? You were promised this
Speaker 13: two hundred and seventy five. What has happened to your
Speaker 13: electricity bills gone up? These people are destroying your jobs,
Speaker 13: they're destroying your income, they're destroying your family, They're destroying
Speaker 13: this country. They should be taking the line of attacking
Speaker 13: very savagely that renewables don't work. Every time we put
Speaker 13: in more renewables.
Speaker 7: The cost of electricity goes up.
Speaker 13: It doesn't become more reliable because if you have no sun,
Speaker 13: it doesn't matter how much you've got there, you're not
Speaker 13: going to get more power. If you've got no wind,
Speaker 13: it doesn't matter how much you've got there, you won't
Speaker 13: get more power.
Speaker 5: We should stop calling it renewable and start calling it intermission.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 13: The great thing about renewables is that the subsidition just
Speaker 13: keep coming, so they are renewable.
Speaker 2: Okay, tell us about investment. Because you work for many
Speaker 2: many years in the mining industry around the world. You
Speaker 2: know how mining investments and a big business manufacturing investment
Speaker 2: what they're looking for. Can you please explain the absolute
Speaker 2: carnage that net zero is doing to international investors. Now
Speaker 2: that you can look at Trump, they can go to America,
Speaker 2: they can go to China or India, all around the
Speaker 2: world without being burdened by these prices.
Speaker 13: What investment is very fickle, It moves very quickly. We
Speaker 13: had a couple of years ago the Japanese ambassador commented
Speaker 13: that this is becoming a very expensive country and uncertain
Speaker 13: countries who invest in and the Japanese have been very
Speaker 13: big investors in this country, and he was right. Japanese
Speaker 13: money has gone elsewhere. We do not invest in our
Speaker 13: own country. Despite the fact we've got trillions in super
Speaker 13: we do not.
Speaker 2: Invest in it.
Speaker 13: We have major projects that need money that create jobs,
Speaker 13: create taxation.
Speaker 7: We don't invest in our own country.
Speaker 13: We have American money, Japanese money, Korean money, money from
Speaker 13: the UK.
Speaker 7: And that is going elsewhere.
Speaker 13: And in my field, if I have a geological idea
Speaker 13: and then do all the drilling and put everything into
Speaker 13: practice and go through all the economic evaluations from that
Speaker 13: idea until we start to earn money. It's twenty five years,
Speaker 13: so you cannot change the investment rules overnight, which is
Speaker 13: what labor is doing, because it'll be our children and
Speaker 13: grandchildren who suffer from that, and they don't care. They're
Speaker 13: only interested in the three year term. And this is
Speaker 13: why you can not vote for someone that is not
Speaker 13: a leader and doesn't have vision. And this is where
Speaker 13: our a liberal party really have to lead and have
Speaker 13: a vision for the nation, not for getting re elected.
Speaker 2: Step up lives in climate Professor Plymber. Always great to
Speaker 2: chat to you here in the classroom, here in Professor
Speaker 2: Bline in classroom on Oursider's fantastic, thank you so much,
Speaker 2: we'll see you soon, and coming up after the break
Speaker 2: a bit more and net Zany madness, wacademia left you
Speaker 2: lunacy or here on Outsiders back in a text, Yes,
Speaker 2: welcome back to net Zany, the crazy world of net zero,
Speaker 2: where we now learn in America they're facing what they're
Speaker 2: calling snow oblivion. So you've got massive amounts of snow,
Speaker 2: six feet of snow across thirty US states, massive winter storms.
Speaker 2: But of course let's all focus on global warming.
Speaker 8: James, you know, it's so funny to me when you
Speaker 8: see these stories about you know, snow oblivion or Snowmageddon
Speaker 8: or whatever they call it, you know whatever, they have
Speaker 8: these big blizzards, because for years and years and years
Speaker 8: we've been told, oh, children who were born ten years ago,
Speaker 8: we'll never see snow again because of global warming. And
Speaker 8: you know, it's it's the whole sort of double game
Speaker 8: that they play. It's like, oh, well, there's not gonna
Speaker 8: be a snow because of global warming. Oh we've had
Speaker 8: a blizzard. Oh well, you know that blizzard that's also climb.
Speaker 5: That's what we had to go from global warming to
Speaker 5: climate change to explain.
Speaker 8: All the absolutely never forg about six months when they
Speaker 8: tried to make a climate chaos. It sounded like some
Speaker 8: sort of superhero climate chaos.
Speaker 5: We had even a more hyperbolic one, didn't we fromm Yes.
Speaker 4: Global boiling, boiling, boiling, global boiling occurring with and it's
Speaker 4: also not forget I wish we actually had the grab up.
Speaker 8: But do you recall a certe in Australia the year saying,
Speaker 8: you know, our dams will never.
Speaker 2: Fit and it is marketing and Queensland at the moment
Speaker 2: and the Queenslanders were told, along with the rest of
Speaker 2: Australia back in the early two thousands. We were told
Speaker 2: that's it, folks, it's permanent drought now because of engine
Speaker 2: and we spend people White people buy this garbage. Is utterly, utterly.
Speaker 8: Belo Why do they think people have the memories of
Speaker 8: goldfish that they don't remember what they saw us they
Speaker 8: told us thirty seconds.
Speaker 5: Before, because so many do, and the media works over
Speaker 5: time to make sure that's the case. If the media
Speaker 5: were honest practitioners here, they would be holding these predictions,
Speaker 5: hauling these people, making these predictions accountable.
Speaker 2: But they they just bury them. What they call it
Speaker 2: memory holding.
Speaker 12: Whatever.
Speaker 2: But what is interesting about this We talked with Professor
Speaker 2: Plimer there about how Macquarie Bank here in Australia. Apparently
Speaker 2: they were quite quiet and timid about it. They should
Speaker 2: have been yelling it from the rafters, yelling it from
Speaker 2: the rooftops. We're getting out of net zero. Invest in
Speaker 2: our bank because we're smart enough to realize we're out
Speaker 2: of that zero. That's what Macquarie should have done. But
Speaker 2: of course the bedwet is on the Macquary board route.
Speaker 8: But it is fascinating. You know, right now this is
Speaker 8: part of the Trump effect. The Trump offender is not
Speaker 8: only with this, but also you see this with company
Speaker 8: after company the United States. Google I think was one
Speaker 8: of the most recent was all say, all of that
Speaker 8: DEI stuff, all of the you know, all of the
Speaker 8: preferential treatment based on race and sex and gender and
Speaker 8: identity and all that, that's all gone. Now everybody has
Speaker 8: realized suddenly, you know, this is kind of like the
Speaker 8: Berlin Wall falling. Everybody has realized, we don't have to
Speaker 8: believe this stuff anymore. We don't have to mount the
Speaker 8: words of the regime.
Speaker 1: It's over, it's done. And I think that's part of Australia.
Speaker 3: Yet, well not in Australia we are again the outlier.
Speaker 5: But the looking at what the money USAID was distributing,
Speaker 5: where that's going, It really is just established. So much
Speaker 5: of this left wing agenda, this so called progressive war
Speaker 5: insanity that we've all been dealing with. It's not organic,
Speaker 5: it's not grassroots. It's very much fed by a small
Speaker 5: group of activists who have relied on taxpayer funds, using
Speaker 5: our own money to shove this.
Speaker 2: Crack down question the USA, I D so the new
Speaker 2: climate change guy, sorry Lee Zellen, who's the new climate
Speaker 2: energy guy, and Trump's regime has said that he's just
Speaker 2: canceled wait for this Reta and James a fifty million
Speaker 2: dollar Biden era environmental justice Climate Justice Alliance thing which
Speaker 2: was all about climate justice travels through a free Palestine.
Speaker 8: So this is well, that's more than the revelations about us.
Speaker 8: It have been shocking because has been this huge slush
Speaker 8: fund for the left. There's this amazing thing here that's
Speaker 8: happened now. If you go and you look at real
Speaker 8: estate listings around Washington, d C. They have been flooded
Speaker 8: with new listings of billion dollar plus hobbs that are
Speaker 8: on the market because suddenly all of this money, all
Speaker 8: of this griff has been cut.
Speaker 2: And all the people on the boards of all these
Speaker 2: NGOs who've been sitting there taking tax dollars pays. I
Speaker 2: bet it's the same in Australia. And I can't wait
Speaker 2: for just Enterprice to get into par into government and
Speaker 2: be in a position which Dunton has promised, where they
Speaker 2: will start doing the same thing here and investigating government inefficiency.
Speaker 2: The Canbra swamp. We have the highest paid public servants
Speaker 2: in the world.
Speaker 5: It's to have the appetite to actually tackle it. We
Speaker 5: talked about the ABC before they know what the ABC does.
Speaker 5: They know it's costs over a billion dollars a year.
Speaker 5: They've made absolutely no.
Speaker 2: Well, I have dropped some character from the end, so
Speaker 2: looking for you finally because he had had some dubious artworks.
Speaker 2: I'm glad about that tiny little win. But anyway, we
Speaker 2: take the small wins where we can. Back after the
Speaker 2: break in a tick. Hello, you're watching Outsiders with Triage
Speaker 2: Nurse Panahee, Locum Register Morrow and myself fake doctor Dean.
Speaker 2: The story of the two nurses at Bankstown Hospital is
Speaker 2: no laughing matter, well not for any of us who
Speaker 2: might one day be their patience. That is. I know
Speaker 2: you've seen the video many times, and in the immediate aftermath,
Speaker 2: there was a distinct lack of an outpouring of heartfelt
Speaker 2: apologies or outraged condemnation of the pair from all those
Speaker 2: so called Muslim community leaders, mayors and members of parliament.
Speaker 2: Perhaps they'd been shamed into silence, but other members of
Speaker 2: the Islamic faith angrily took to social media to somehow
Speaker 2: suggest that the video was a put up job, or
Speaker 2: the actions have been provoked or whatever. The police played
Speaker 2: some ridiculous game of wanting to see the full video
Speaker 2: before pressing any charges. Will the E Safety Commissioner suddenly
Speaker 2: pop up and start demanding the video be taken down
Speaker 2: as she did over the last outrage by an Australian
Speaker 2: migrant in the Western Suburbs threatening violence against another Australia allion.
Speaker 2: That attack on Bishop Mari Mari. We shall see. But
Speaker 2: on Friday, the Israeli man involved released the full unedited video.
Speaker 2: So here it is.
Speaker 1: You know what, man good, Harry wo Man pretty good?
Speaker 14: Are you a nurse?
Speaker 1: A doctor?
Speaker 15: I'm a doctor moment?
Speaker 1: A doctor for what?
Speaker 2: In hospital?
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 2: What? What? What? What about you? Where you're from?
Speaker 14: I'm from Israel, from the whole land.
Speaker 15: You know what, I'm gonna be really honest with you,
Speaker 15: all right, I'm gonna be really honest with you. You
Speaker 15: actually got a really really beautiful eyes. But I'm so
Speaker 15: upset that Israeli like eventually you're gonna get killed and
Speaker 15: you're gonna go to Jehanna Mia. I think it's pretty honest.
Speaker 15: I should stay in this, in this world for longer.
Speaker 1: Why do you think? Why do you think I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get killed.
Speaker 14: Because Sarla one day God will maybe because I served
Speaker 14: in the IDEF That's why that definitely correct, that's the reason,
Speaker 14: because I served in the idea of what's the what's
Speaker 14: the problem with that?
Speaker 2: What's the issue with that?
Speaker 3: I killed innocent paper.
Speaker 1: That was protecting my country.
Speaker 3: So you kill innocent people to protect your country? What
Speaker 3: what kind of soul do you have? You have no soul?
Speaker 14: In the war, people die as you know, they started
Speaker 14: the war. Hundred who started?
Speaker 3: Okay, your time will who started?
Speaker 1: Who started this war?
Speaker 3: You guys?
Speaker 2: Who elected Hamas? Who elected Hamas?
Speaker 3: It's Palestine country.
Speaker 1: Not.
Speaker 5: What her name.
Speaker 14: We're talking politely here, We're talking politely here.
Speaker 2: One day, one day.
Speaker 5: One day, one day, time will come and you will
Speaker 5: die the most.
Speaker 14: You sprayed hate, we sprayed positivity, We spread protection, We spread.
Speaker 3: This intimate pimate.
Speaker 8: And you spread when the time comes, how are you doctors?
Speaker 3: I want you to remember?
Speaker 14: Have okay, okay, I have a question though, all right,
Speaker 14: all right, for sure, I.
Speaker 1: Have a question.
Speaker 16: Though.
Speaker 1: I have a question.
Speaker 14: Let's say let's say an Israeli.
Speaker 2: God forbid them.
Speaker 3: I won't treat them, I'll kill them.
Speaker 1: You'll kill them.
Speaker 14: So if an Israeli is in the in Australia and
Speaker 14: that's forbid, something happened to him and he comes to
Speaker 14: your hospital, would you kill him?
Speaker 15: Okay, you have no idea how many Israeli A dog
Speaker 15: came to this hospital and.
Speaker 2: Nahanna, As far as I'm concerned, the unedited version, that
Speaker 2: version is even more damning than the original edited version.
Speaker 2: In the edited version, you could perhaps imagine that some
Speaker 2: kind of heated exchange or provocation had occurred, that it
Speaker 2: may be fired off the anti Semitic trade, but that
Speaker 2: clearly didn't happen. What is so chilling in the unedited
Speaker 2: version is how casual and ordinary two nurses in their comments,
Speaker 2: their threats, and their boasts. It was the German philosopher
Speaker 2: Hannah arent who coined the phrase the banality of evil
Speaker 2: during the trial of Adolf Eichmann, and it seems even
Speaker 2: more fitting here. These two nurses could, for all the world,
Speaker 2: be in any online chat room talking about a football game,
Speaker 2: or a new set of rules at work or whatever.
Speaker 2: The true horror of what they are not only suggesting
Speaker 2: that casually bragging about is the stuff of absolute nightmares,
Speaker 2: yet so commonplace and acceptable to them is the idea
Speaker 2: of murdering Jews, that they have no hesitation in chatting
Speaker 2: to a complete stranger about it. And the only conclusion
Speaker 2: I could make is that they have either heard, said
Speaker 2: or thought such ideas so many times before that they
Speaker 2: are totally immune to the absolute barbarity of what they
Speaker 2: are suggesting. Commonplace. How commonplace are these views and how
Speaker 2: commonplace is this hatred of Jewish people by Muslim Australians.
Speaker 2: That is the most fundamental question that this video raises.
Speaker 2: Dr Jimal Reefi, a prominent and widely respected Muslim Australian,
Speaker 2: was adamant that these views are not commonplace.
Speaker 17: These two people do not represent the view that is
Speaker 17: held in the Muslims community. The majority of the Muslim's community.
Speaker 17: They have condemned what they have done and they don't
Speaker 17: agree with it, and we don't hold these view whatsoever.
Speaker 17: We would like to be part of the society we enjoy,
Speaker 17: or we're living in Australia or we're offspring living in
Speaker 17: here and we'll want to be part of nation building.
Speaker 2: Welcome those comments and I hope they are widespread, But
Speaker 2: unfortunately there's plenty of evidence that Dr Reefe is perhaps
Speaker 2: unaware of how widespread the hatred of Jews is in
Speaker 2: various Australian Muslim communities. Obviously, not every public health worker
Speaker 2: who supports a Palestinian state or demonstrates against the war
Speaker 2: in Gaza wants to go around murdering Jews or wishes
Speaker 2: any harm to any of their patients. But if I
Speaker 2: were Jewish, I would probably not be too keen to
Speaker 2: go into a hospital staffed by medics and nurses who
Speaker 2: are so passionate about their support for Palestine that they
Speaker 2: are eager to take to the streets like this character
Speaker 2: in the group.
Speaker 16: Of colleagues of mine for Nurses and Midlife for Palestine
Speaker 16: in October twenty twenty three. Maintain your rage, continue to
Speaker 16: stand on it super In short, a sinus terrorists and
Speaker 16: their reprehensible actions are held.
Speaker 1: To it, it counts.
Speaker 2: Nor if I were Jewish would I be particularly thrilled
Speaker 2: to be triaged by this character? And if I were
Speaker 2: Jewish and I met this security guy at the emergency
Speaker 2: door of the hospital with his political pro Palestine badges
Speaker 2: on full display, I might decide to go home and
Speaker 2: see my GP instead. Speaking on this network last week,
Speaker 2: Michael Kroger made a terrifying claim.
Speaker 18: I just saw an email from someone who was going
Speaker 18: to have an operation there. A Jewish man have an
Speaker 18: operation there a few years ago under the Liberal government,
Speaker 18: by the way, not under men's. He canceled his operation
Speaker 18: at Bankstown Hospital because a friend of his who worked
Speaker 18: at the hospital said, if a Jewish don't come here,
Speaker 18: they spit on the food of the Jews before it's delivered.
Speaker 18: They don't do mandatory post ops. They leave their beds
Speaker 18: soiled for as long as they possibly can. They make
Speaker 18: life as difficult as possible for Jewish patients. So he said,
Speaker 18: I canceled my operation of the hospital because of that.
Speaker 2: So again we must ask how commonplace is this stuff?
Speaker 2: Far too common, that's for sure. One brave nurse, Sharon Stollier,
Speaker 2: raised the alarm about precise this level of anti semitism
Speaker 2: within New South Wales hospitals months ago, but instead of
Speaker 2: the health bureaucrats doing something about it, she became the
Speaker 2: subject of multiple complaints and the regulators ended up harassing
Speaker 2: her and investigating her.
Speaker 19: I raise the alarm about this not long after October
Speaker 19: seventh happened when nurses and midwives were chanting from the
Speaker 19: River to the Sea while wearing New Southwest Health uniforms.
Speaker 19: I wrote an open letter to nurses and midwives explained
Speaker 19: that this chant is a call for the annihilation of
Speaker 19: Jews and that they should not be shouting this genocidal chat.
Speaker 19: I ask for the end of a genocidal chat by
Speaker 19: New South Wales health staff while wearing their uniforms. Instead,
Speaker 19: I get for more corrective comments and threats of jail time.
Speaker 2: Unbelievable and the process is always is the punishment. She
Speaker 2: gets punished. Dare to criticize antie Israeli extremism and you
Speaker 2: yourself become the problem. That's how they think here. Just
Speaker 2: like when New South Wales police are host did none
Speaker 2: of the vile opera house mob chanting wears or gas
Speaker 2: the Jews or whatever right in front of them, But
Speaker 2: instead they arrested that one lone guy, Mark Spiro, who
Speaker 2: we had him on the show, you'll remember, who was
Speaker 2: carrying an Israeli flag to an event supposed to commemorate
Speaker 2: the Israelis who died on the after October seventh problems.
Speaker 2: But back to the two Bankstown nurses, they have now
Speaker 2: had their registration suspended by the New South Wales Nursing
Speaker 2: at Midwifrey Council. Albo's Health Minister Mark Butler said quote,
Speaker 2: they're sickening comments and the hatred that underpins them have
Speaker 2: no place in our health system and no place anywhere
Speaker 2: in Australia. Fine words, except Mark, it appears they do
Speaker 2: have a place in Australia, certainly under your labor teals government,
Speaker 2: on the streets and in the campuses of our main cities.
Speaker 2: In fact, again, if I were Jewish, I would think
Speaker 2: twice about placing my life, or my health, or even
Speaker 2: an order in a restaurant in the hands of, for
Speaker 2: a example, the parents of this little girl. On my
Speaker 2: Friday show this evening seven pm last Friday, and you
Speaker 2: can catch it on skynews dot com dot I use streaming.
Speaker 2: I spoke about the catastrophic failure of multiculturalism in this country,
Speaker 2: primarily because integration and assimilation became dirty words under labor
Speaker 2: and I received a huge amount of correspondence from many
Speaker 2: Australians of mixed heritage and immigrant backgrounds supporting precisely what
Speaker 2: I was saying. One man wrote to me, quote, my wife,
Speaker 2: a migrant, has heartily embraced the Australian culture, loves Australian
Speaker 2: values and loves what it means to be Australian, even
Speaker 2: though she doesn't quite grasp the concept of cricket. He
Speaker 2: goes on to say, we watch with dismay as certain
Speaker 2: other newcomers to this country have trashed it. We are
Speaker 2: the story of what it means to immigrate to this
Speaker 2: country and to integrate. We are a mix of different
Speaker 2: backgrounds and languages and marriages, all making one happy, wonderful
Speaker 2: Australian story. Great letter. I couldn't agree more. But he
Speaker 2: then goes on to include this quote, which is that
Speaker 2: assimilation creates a harmonious, coherent culture, which is fantastic. That's
Speaker 2: what Australia wants. But multiculturalism is a jungle in this quote.
Speaker 2: It encourages the competition of cultures, and like it or not,
Speaker 2: it is usually the most ruthless and intolerant culture that
Speaker 2: wins the game. Let us hope that that is not
Speaker 2: our fate here in Australia. But rather than dampening down
Speaker 2: the sort of anti Israeli hatred that appears to be
Speaker 2: prevalent throughout certain ethnic communities. Due hatred, the weak and cowardly,
Speaker 2: and even I'd argue corrupt politicians have inflamed it in
Speaker 2: Britain this week, for example, there is a horrible story
Speaker 2: in the Daily Mail about the shocking extent of anti
Speaker 2: Semitism at the heart of the British Health Service, the NHS,
Speaker 2: And at the same time there is huge consternation in
Speaker 2: Britain because six people are being let in from Gaza.
Speaker 2: Six the Albanzi government is bringing in three thousand people
Speaker 2: from Gaza. Finally, could there be a more poignant and
Speaker 2: terrifying juxtaposition between that video of the nurses spewing that
Speaker 2: murderous hatred in a calm and commonplace manner and the
Speaker 2: vote only a few days before in Parliament about the
Speaker 2: need to crack down on Nazis and swastikas and u
Speaker 2: so called hate speech laws in Australia and mandatory sentences
Speaker 2: but recklessly uttering words that lead to violence. Personally, I
Speaker 2: would far rather know what people like those two nurses
Speaker 2: are thinking. People we may be rubbing shoulders with on
Speaker 2: the bus or heaven forbid, in the triage room. Yesterday
Speaker 2: it was reported that a vile of morphine was found
Speaker 2: in the male nurses locker by police. So what happens
Speaker 2: to these two nurses next? If charges are laid and
Speaker 2: a jury finds them guilty, do these two idiots then
Speaker 2: get locked up for a mandatory jail sentence? And then
Speaker 2: what what about all the others out there who share
Speaker 2: their precise views? Do the police start rifling through all
Speaker 2: their social media posts start laying charges? How many people
Speaker 2: in Sydney will be frantically scrubbing their Facebook accounts if
Speaker 2: they haven't already? Or what if the two nurses are
Speaker 2: charged but then found not guilty because they haven't met
Speaker 2: the legal definition of hate speech? What then, or worse,
Speaker 2: if no charges are laid for whatever obscurities? And what
Speaker 2: message does that send? Firstly to the Muslim but far
Speaker 2: more terrifyingly to the Jewish community of Australia. Dark days
Speaker 2: lie ahead thanks almost entirely to the cowardice of the
Speaker 2: Labor Party and the pathetic, pusillanimous leadership of Albanesi Wong
Speaker 2: and the treacherous teals. Personally, I believe the most basic
Speaker 2: remedy is repeated, meaningful public denunciations of anti Semitism from
Speaker 2: not only all sides of politics, but as a fundamental
Speaker 2: requirement of all Muslim clerics, all Muslim politicians, and all
Speaker 2: Muslim community leaders. And this must be done without the
Speaker 2: accompanying woke moral equivalent nonsense about Islamophobia. Here's a thought.
Speaker 2: Let's replace all those meaningless welcome to countries at every
Speaker 2: school opening, footy man zoom meeting, whatever, with a warm
Speaker 2: and heartfelt welcome to Australian Jews. Only half joking. But
Speaker 2: before any of that, we must have an immediately immediate
Speaker 2: halt to immigration from any and all countries where anti
Speaker 2: Semitism is rife, and that includes first and foremost Gaza. Well,
Speaker 2: we're joined now by the center of the American Experiment,
Speaker 2: President John, President John Eidenrager. Hi, you're doing well, John,
Speaker 2: You're doing very well. Listen, I want to ask you
Speaker 2: very first up the hostages that have just been released
Speaker 2: and the twelve o'clock deadline that passed here a few
Speaker 2: hours ago where Trump threatened hell breaking, lucive, all the
Speaker 2: hostages were not out. What's happening? The three hostages are out?
Speaker 2: Where the rest and when's hill breaking? Loose?
Speaker 20: Well, Rowan, I, honestly I was a little bit disappointed
Speaker 20: what Trump said. They got to release all the hostages
Speaker 20: by noon. I'm thinking to myself, high noon. You know,
Speaker 20: that's a phrase that resonates with Americans, but it didn't happen.
Speaker 20: The Hamas is proceeding with this, you know, dribs and drabs,
Speaker 20: a hostage here, a hostage there. And what Trump said
Speaker 20: today is that he's leaving it up to the Israelis.
Speaker 20: If the Israelis want to unleash hell on the gozens,
Speaker 20: we will be with them. But he's deferring to the
Speaker 20: Israelis in terms of how they want to respond.
Speaker 2: And what's the thinking about how they will respond.
Speaker 1: Well, honestly, I don't know.
Speaker 20: I meant Ya, who's been under tremendous domestic pressure to
Speaker 20: try to bring the hostages home and to some extent
Speaker 20: that has impeded Israel's war efforts there in Gaza. And
Speaker 20: one thing we don't know is how many of the
Speaker 20: hostages are even still alive. It's a terrible, terrible situation,
Speaker 20: and Yetnya, who has been trying to deal with it,
Speaker 20: manage it for a long time now, and I'm not
Speaker 20: sure how it's going to play out. The only thing
Speaker 20: I'll tell you for sure is that if the Israelis
Speaker 20: do decide to end the cease fire and go back
Speaker 20: to war and finish the battle against Hamas and the
Speaker 20: Ghazans that the Trump administration will support.
Speaker 5: Them, and President Trump has also said he wants to
Speaker 5: see an end to the war in Ukraine. He's already
Speaker 5: had discussions with Vladimir Putin. President Zelenski has just tweeted
Speaker 5: that he's begun working with President Trump's team and can
Speaker 5: already see the success is attainable, and he thanks America.
Speaker 3: Can you see that war ending in Ukraine?
Speaker 20: I think it's going to end, reader. I think both
Speaker 20: countries wanted to end. It's been a disaster. The Russians
Speaker 20: thought they would they would march right into Kiev and
Speaker 20: they failed, and then the Ukrainians thought they were going
Speaker 20: to win a brilliant victory, and then they got stymied.
Speaker 20: For a long time. Now, it's basically been trench warfare,
Speaker 20: close to a million casualties. It's been a disastrous conflict.
Speaker 20: Both sides want out. I think Trump is going to
Speaker 20: give them the excuse that they need to end the war.
Speaker 20: And the outlines of the settlement are frankly pretty obvious.
Speaker 20: Ukraine is going to have to give up a little
Speaker 20: bit of the eastern part of its country to Russia,
Speaker 20: and Zelensky has already expressed willingness to have that be
Speaker 20: part of the discussion. I think Ukraine is not going
Speaker 20: to become a part of NATO, and I don't know
Speaker 20: what the details of the of the peace agreement will
Speaker 20: be if there is a peacekeeping force in place. One
Speaker 20: thing that we know from the Trump administration is that
Speaker 20: any peacekeeping force is going to be European, not American.
Speaker 8: James and just bea at least to Secretary of State
Speaker 8: Marco Rubio. And I never thought i'd expect him to
Speaker 8: be doing such a good job on this portfolio, but
Speaker 8: here we are. He's just landed in Tel Aviv just
Speaker 8: a few hours ago. What message do you think that
Speaker 8: he is going to be delivering to the Netanyahu government
Speaker 8: about America's expectations for a ending this conflict, but be
Speaker 8: also ending Hamas's threat to continually undermine peace and stability
Speaker 8: in the entire region.
Speaker 20: Well, I think Rubio's message is going to be one
Speaker 20: of unqualified support. Unlike the Biden administration, which was constantly
Speaker 20: threatening neat Yaho and leaning on the Israelis not to
Speaker 20: proceed effectively in their war, which Gaza of course started.
Speaker 20: Israel didn't start this war. I think Rubio is there
Speaker 20: to assure neat Yaho in his administration is Security Cabinet
Speaker 20: that the United States is behind them all the way.
Speaker 20: And I think the United States, the Trump administration, like
Speaker 20: the people of his we all want to see a
Speaker 20: resolution of this endless problem they've got with Hamas. You know,
Speaker 20: this has been going on for year after year after year,
Speaker 20: and it's got to be brought to an end. And
Speaker 20: I think the proposal that Trump put out there for
Speaker 20: America to take over Gaza and turn it into a
Speaker 20: tourist resort. You know, I'm not sure how serious a
Speaker 20: proposal that is. What I think it conveys, though, is
Speaker 20: that the Trump administration wants to finally resolve this horrible,
Speaker 20: horrible problem that Gaza has been for a long time.
Speaker 2: And of course John Rubio's next stop is Saudi Arabia,
Speaker 2: so we should see a strengthening of the Abraham Accords
Speaker 2: happening there, maybe a full blown alliance. Who knows, but
Speaker 2: tell us about all the panic that is set in
Speaker 2: from all the lefty organizations, the NGOs, as Elon Musk
Speaker 2: rips into them and takes away all the amounts of
Speaker 2: money that have been fed to these dubies, dodgy, transgenderal
Speaker 2: wherever and work political garbage is terrifying. Seventy percent of
Speaker 2: the American public are behind backing and supporting Ela Muskindosh
Speaker 2: tell us your take on it.
Speaker 20: Well, it's glorious, isn't it. The Democrats are basically admitting
Speaker 20: that they are in favor of waste and corruption and
Speaker 20: fraud and the American people. I think it's been quite
Speaker 20: a revelation to see where so much of our money
Speaker 20: has been going, and to see the role that's played
Speaker 20: by the permanent bureaucracy and these agencies. These agencies are
Speaker 20: to be found nowhere in the Constitution and the kinds
Speaker 20: of things you're talking about, the trans opera in Colombia,
Speaker 20: the transmic book in Peru. If you look at the bill,
Speaker 20: the statute that funded the US Agency for International Development,
Speaker 20: there's nothing in there about trans operas.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 20: They just give billions and billions and billions of dollars
Speaker 20: to these agencies, and the left wingers who run these agents,
Speaker 20: the permanent staff of these agencies, distribute these many billions
Speaker 20: of dollars to support their friends on the left and
Speaker 20: to support their ideological causes. And I think we've known
Speaker 20: this for a long time, but the details are shocking.
Speaker 2: I mean even I have been.
Speaker 20: Shocked, frankly by the extent of the corruption that is
Speaker 20: now coming to light.
Speaker 2: Well, apparently James was just saying before the property prices
Speaker 2: falling rapidly plummeting in Washington, d C. As only nngas
Speaker 2: set off and get out. So John, you might want
Speaker 2: to pick up a quick little foggy bottom use I
Speaker 2: see yourself there. Great to chat to you as always,
Speaker 2: John Heindereiker, coming up up to the bright James, don'tkey Vick.
Speaker 2: We got Ralph talking to us from Europe as well.
Speaker 2: I can take.
Speaker 12: Hello.
Speaker 8: You're watching outside us with your host Srita panihy Row
Speaker 8: Indan and of course I'm James Morrow. Well, as far
Speaker 8: as I'm going, there's only one big story out of
Speaker 8: Washington this week, and it's actually Washington when it goes
Speaker 8: to Europe. Vice President jd Vance has just delivered an
Speaker 8: absolute haymaker of a speech in Munich laying down the
Speaker 8: law to the European Union and NATO members who four
Speaker 8: years have been banging on about how they are defending
Speaker 8: democracy all while undermining it every day in their very
Speaker 8: own nations.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 8: Vance was the US's representative at the Munich Security Conference,
Speaker 8: but he did not deliver the expected polite speech full
Speaker 8: of approved nostrums and talking points about Ukraine and fighting
Speaker 8: the far right, whatever that means. Instead, Vance came offering
Speaker 8: a sort of and I think there's only one word
Speaker 8: for this, an intervention. Yes, it was an intervention like
Speaker 8: you might do with a family member with an addiction problem.
Speaker 12: Only hear the.
Speaker 8: Family member wasn't an uncle or a not or a
Speaker 8: son with a drinking problem or a nasty coke habit,
Speaker 8: but instead it was Europe from which our shared Western
Speaker 8: civilization sprung, but which has lately developed its own terrible
Speaker 8: addiction to censorship, third world migration, and social control. Now,
Speaker 8: in his speech, Vance told this incredible story about a
Speaker 8: man in Scotland who was arrested for silently, yes that's right,
Speaker 8: silently in his own head praying near an abortion clinic,
Speaker 8: and how later people who lived in the area and
Speaker 8: in other areas around abortion clinics were told to report
Speaker 8: anyone they knew doing anything similar, even in their own home.
Speaker 2: This is chilling.
Speaker 21: Two years ago, the British government charged Adam Smith Connor,
Speaker 21: a fifty one year old physiotherapist and an Army veteran,
Speaker 21: with the heinous crime of standing fifty meters from an
Speaker 21: abortion clinic and silently praying for three minutes, not obstructing anyone,
Speaker 21: not interacting with anyone, just silently praying on his own.
Speaker 21: After British law enforcement spotted him and demanded to know
Speaker 21: what he was praying for, Adam replied simply, it was
Speaker 21: on behalf of the unborn son he and his former
Speaker 21: girlfriend had aboarded years before.
Speaker 22: Now, the officers were not moved.
Speaker 21: Adam was found guilty of breaking the government's new buffer
Speaker 21: zones law, which criminalized a silent prayer and other actions
Speaker 21: that could influence a person's decision within two hundred meters
Speaker 21: of an abortion facility. He was sentenced to pay thousands
Speaker 21: of pounds in legal costs to the prosecution. Now, I
Speaker 21: wish I could say that this was a fluke, a
Speaker 21: one off, crazy example of a badly written law being
Speaker 21: enacted against a single person.
Speaker 1: But no.
Speaker 2: This last October, just.
Speaker 21: Few months ago, the Scottish government began distributing letters to
Speaker 21: citizens whose houses lay within so called safe access zones,
Speaker 21: warning them that even private prayer within their own homes
Speaker 21: may amount to breaking the law. Naturally, the government urged
Speaker 21: readers to report any fellow citizens suspected guilty of thought crime.
Speaker 21: And Britain and across Europe, free speech.
Speaker 2: I fear is in retreat.
Speaker 8: Amazing stuff. And by the way, if you think of
Speaker 8: being hyperbolic, here's the letter that Vance refers to that
Speaker 8: people in Scotland got, warning them that indeed a private
Speaker 8: place such as a house could be considered a prayer
Speaker 8: free zone if it was too close to an abortion clinic.
Speaker 8: Now Vance is right, free speech is in retreat across Europe,
Speaker 8: and almost every week on this program we bring you
Speaker 8: new examples of the Orwellian thought control apparatuses being brought
Speaker 8: to bear on a population, a population that is beset
Speaker 8: by terrorism and knife crime, but where the real problem
Speaker 8: for the authorities seems to be what crime. Here's more
Speaker 8: of what Vance had to say about this.
Speaker 21: And unfortunately, when I look at Europe today, it's sometimes
Speaker 21: not so clear what happened to some of the Cold
Speaker 21: Wars winners. I look to Brussels, where EU Commission Commissars
Speaker 21: Warren citizens that they intend to shut down social media
Speaker 21: during times of civil unrest the moment they spot what
Speaker 21: they've judged to be quote hateful content. Or to this
Speaker 21: very country where police have carried out raids against citizens
Speaker 21: suspected of posting anti feminist comments online as part of
Speaker 21: quote combating misogyny on the Internet a day of action.
Speaker 8: But that's not the only European problem that Vance called out.
Speaker 8: Vice President was also brutal about the policies of some countries,
Speaker 8: particularly Germany, that have allowed themselves to de industrialize.
Speaker 22: Germany is the one country, maybe in NATO, that did
Speaker 22: not follow the stupid Washington consensus and allow their country
Speaker 22: to be de industrialized during the seventies, eighties, and nineties.
Speaker 22: And yet at the very moment that Putin is more
Speaker 22: and more powerful, where the Russian army is invading European
Speaker 22: countries in mass, this is the point at which Germany
Speaker 22: starts to de industrialize. Look at the number of people
Speaker 22: working and manufacturing in Germany now versus ten years ago.
Speaker 22: Look at the critical raw materials produced in Germany now
Speaker 22: versus ten years ago, the energy dependents now versus ten
Speaker 22: or twenty years ago. We have got to stop de industrializing.
Speaker 22: We want Europe to be successful, but Europe has got
Speaker 22: to take a bigger role in its own security.
Speaker 1: It can't do that without industry.
Speaker 8: Now, I'd go further and say it is amazing that
Speaker 8: Germany has inflicted on itself the same rustic rustication that
Speaker 8: some in the US government wanted to force on them.
Speaker 8: And thankfully they didn't succeed after World War II. But
Speaker 8: it was on this subject of mass migration that Vance
Speaker 8: really opened up.
Speaker 21: The number of immigrants who entered the EU from non
Speaker 21: EU countries doubled between twenty twenty one and twenty twenty
Speaker 21: two alone, and of course it's gotten much higher since.
Speaker 21: And we know the situation.
Speaker 22: It didn't materialize in a vacuum.
Speaker 1: It's the result of a.
Speaker 22: Series of conscious decisions made by politicians all over the
Speaker 22: continent and others across the world over the span of
Speaker 22: a decade.
Speaker 8: Vance noted that just the day before his speech, there
Speaker 8: was another Islamist car ramming attack in Munich, the very
Speaker 8: city where he was speaking.
Speaker 22: We saw the horrors wrought by these decisions yesterday in
Speaker 22: this very city, and of course I can't bring it
Speaker 22: up again without thinking about the terrible victims who had
Speaker 22: a beautiful winter day in Munich ruined. Our thoughts and
Speaker 22: prayers are with them and will remain with them. But
Speaker 22: why did this happen in the first place. It's a
Speaker 22: terrible story, but it's one we've heard way too many
Speaker 22: times in Europe and unfortunately too many times in the
Speaker 22: United States as well.
Speaker 21: An asylum seeker, often a young man in his mid twenties,
Speaker 21: already known to police, rams a car into a crowd
Speaker 21: and shatters a community.
Speaker 1: How many times must.
Speaker 22: We suffer these appalling setbacks before we change course and
Speaker 22: take our shared civilization in a new direction.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Vance said European leaders were ignoring what people were
Speaker 8: urgently crying out for to be heard and to have
Speaker 8: their votes read, their voices respected, rather than being blamed
Speaker 8: for having the wrong ideas or for supposedly being influenced
Speaker 8: by outside voices from beyond their own shores. Have a
Speaker 8: listen to this, and note at the end there's the
Speaker 8: name of an old friend of this program.
Speaker 12: Here.
Speaker 7: Have a listen.
Speaker 21: I believe the dismissing people, dismissing their concerns, or worse yet,
Speaker 21: shutting down media, shutting down elections or shutting people out
Speaker 21: of the political process protects nothing. In fact, it is
Speaker 21: the most surefire way to destroy democracy. And speaking up
Speaker 21: and expressing opinions isn't election interference, even when people express
Speaker 21: views outside your own country, and even when those people
Speaker 21: are very influential.
Speaker 22: And trust me, I say this with all humor. If
Speaker 22: American democracy can survive ten years of Funeburg scolding, you
Speaker 22: guys can survive a few months of Elon musk.
Speaker 12: Ah.
Speaker 1: Yes remember Redda.
Speaker 8: Yes, it was fine for her to bully leaders around
Speaker 8: the world and terrified children, including here in Australia, and
Speaker 8: tell them to go on strike for the climate.
Speaker 1: But Elon musk Oh no mean tweets incoming.
Speaker 8: Look, the whole speech was an absolute toward a force,
Speaker 8: a banger. But what Vance was saying to the Europeans
Speaker 8: is this, You are making yourselves unrecognizable culturally, politically, socially,
Speaker 8: and running against all the values of liberty and enlightenment
Speaker 8: that once made you European and which gave the world
Speaker 8: the gift of your civilization. And now you expect to
Speaker 8: be defended by America even as you run yourself down.
Speaker 8: The whole speech could be summed up by this one
Speaker 8: line from Vance, which I think deserves to go down
Speaker 8: in history as his ich bin einber moment.
Speaker 21: If you're running in fear of your own voters, there
Speaker 21: is nothing America can do for you, nor, for that matter,
Speaker 21: is there anything that you can do for the American
Speaker 21: people who elected me and elected President Trump.
Speaker 8: How perfectly put, Europe is running in fear of its
Speaker 8: own voters. And it was again, I say this again
Speaker 8: an intervention. Yet as the saying goes, there are none
Speaker 8: so blind as those who will not see. The Europeans
Speaker 8: in the audience were horrified to cop this lecture from
Speaker 8: this upstart colonial here's left wing German defense minister Boris Pistorius.
Speaker 6: This democracy that was just called into question by the
Speaker 6: Hughes vice president, and not just the German democracy, but
Speaker 6: Europe as a whole. He spoke of the annulment of democracy,
Speaker 6: and if I understood him correctly, he compares the condition
Speaker 6: of Europe with the condition that prevails in some authoritarian regimes.
Speaker 6: Ladies and gentlemen, this is not acceptable.
Speaker 1: And everyone clapped.
Speaker 8: Well, they may be cheering him now, but it is
Speaker 8: Vance who was in the right here, and in a
Speaker 8: few days time, Germany will go to the polls and
Speaker 8: the right wing AfD is looking to be in the
Speaker 8: box seat, while authorities try to do everything in their
Speaker 8: power to smother that party's vote. As ordinary Germans become
Speaker 8: increasingly fed up with crime, migration, terrorism, and the running
Speaker 8: down of their once great nation by the left. The
Speaker 8: big question now is, as Vance suggests, will the people's
Speaker 8: voice in Germany be allowed to be heard or will
Speaker 8: it be silenced? And if it is silenced, well remind
Speaker 8: us again what gives them to the right to lecture
Speaker 8: the rest of us about democracy? What is this Europe
Speaker 8: exactly that we are defending?
Speaker 2: Great stuff, Thanks James. Well, someone who will never be
Speaker 2: silenced is Ralph Sholhammer over there in Europe. Ralph, Great,
Speaker 2: just speak to you. You're there on the wall somewhere
Speaker 2: coming upside. Was here in the room a moment ago.
Speaker 2: Now there you are, Ralph. We found you.
Speaker 19: We found you.
Speaker 2: I thought, maybe that's a Pistorius had cut the links so.
Speaker 1: That we couldn't talk to you, no doubt.
Speaker 2: Great back, So Ralph, tell us who's going to win
Speaker 2: the German election? And what does this mean for the
Speaker 2: Ukraine war?
Speaker 23: Well, I think one of the broader things that you
Speaker 23: did not mention in your wonderful segment was that, mister
Speaker 23: Vanze also is that the biggest threat for Europe is not.
Speaker 2: China or Russia.
Speaker 23: It is breaking with its own values and forgetting its
Speaker 23: own values. And this is what we see at the
Speaker 23: moment of us speaking here. Austria is currently really we
Speaker 23: had our own tervist attack just five hours ago. Yet
Speaker 23: again the migrant, this time from Syria, has killed one
Speaker 23: boy age fourteen and injured four other people. So this
Speaker 23: is now happening almost on a daily basis. The Spectator
Speaker 23: recently published a paper saying that one hundred and twenty
Speaker 23: knife attacks take place every single day in France. So
Speaker 23: the situation we find ourselves in is one where Europeans
Speaker 23: are increasingly hostages in their own country, while the elites
Speaker 23: and activitst judiciary and the NGOs are indulging in a
Speaker 23: form of weird Stockholm syndrome where they constantly side with
Speaker 23: the perpetrators but never with the victims. And this is
Speaker 23: the reason why you see the right to achieve in Germany,
Speaker 23: in France, you see it in the UK with the
Speaker 23: Reform Party, and he saw it with Jdevans and Donald
Speaker 23: Trump in the United States that people do no longer
Speaker 23: understand whether it is a political elite that made it
Speaker 23: the credo of their entire belief that whenever possible, you
Speaker 23: have to side with those who are against your country,
Speaker 23: your civilization, your tradition, know you inheritage and not the
Speaker 23: other side.
Speaker 5: Now we've seen also in Munich where JD. Evans gave
Speaker 5: that great speech, just within hours another alleged terrorist attack
Speaker 5: a car, I mean, where a mother and a two
Speaker 5: year old child were killed, dozens more injured. How much
Speaker 5: of an impact is that event having as far as
Speaker 5: discussions leading up to the election.
Speaker 23: Well, it will have an impact on the election. But
Speaker 23: due to the electoral system in Germany, the problem is
Speaker 23: the AfD is not going to get over fifty one percent,
Speaker 23: so they will come in second. And the quote unquote
Speaker 23: conservatives who are not real conservatives, that are pretty much
Speaker 23: like Richie Suna's Conservatives were in the United Kingdom. But
Speaker 23: of course most people don't indulge in politics all the
Speaker 23: time as we do. So people say, if I make
Speaker 23: my cross at the Conservative Party, they will govern conservative,
Speaker 23: won't they. But that's also what people thought about angel
Speaker 23: A Mercle and as we know now she basically was
Speaker 23: the first Green Chancellor of Germany and energy policy, in
Speaker 23: foreign policy, and in migration policy, and what we do
Speaker 23: not see. Actually, I just want to make this point
Speaker 23: very quick, because we have the sharp contrast. If you
Speaker 23: look to Poland, if you look to Hungary, if you
Speaker 23: look to the Czech Republic, there are no stabbings, there
Speaker 23: are no gang rapes, but there are no cost driving
Speaker 23: into pedestrians. Man, I wonder why that is.
Speaker 8: Well, Ralph, here's the thing that I don't understand, and
Speaker 8: break it down for you. For the last fifteen twenty years,
Speaker 8: it has been the elite desire to have open borders
Speaker 8: in Europe and import huge numbers of people from the
Speaker 8: Islamic world or the Third world. Why is this particular
Speaker 8: issue so dear to the elites. The one way they
Speaker 8: could easily stop the AfD and stop far right parties
Speaker 8: if they said, yes, we will have controls on migration.
Speaker 8: And yet they refuse to what is so important to
Speaker 8: the elites about this migration?
Speaker 1: Well, you know the answer.
Speaker 23: I think you're just too shy to say it because
Speaker 23: for them, it is atonement for the supposed sins of
Speaker 23: the past that the West has committed.
Speaker 2: This is the very reason.
Speaker 23: But every time when you turn against it, they say
Speaker 23: you must be a Nazi because for them, opening up
Speaker 23: the borders is what they believe is the way to
Speaker 23: make good for the horrific things the West, and particularly
Speaker 23: in this case Germany, which is why it's even more
Speaker 23: pronounced in Germany than in other places, that this is
Speaker 23: the way how you can make up for things of
Speaker 23: the past. That everybody who is against that form of
Speaker 23: atonement then must be by definition a Nazi.
Speaker 1: It's completely absurd.
Speaker 23: It's a form of I would say delusion as a
Speaker 23: psychological disease if you want. But this is how they think.
Speaker 23: This is why you constantly immediately have the reference to
Speaker 23: the Nazi time with everything we saw it now with JD.
Speaker 23: Vans's speech Bill Crystal, who I think is a grifter,
Speaker 23: but that's a separate area that the speech would have
Speaker 23: sounded better in the original German, right, So it's immediately
Speaker 23: you know, immediately you have to swiveling too. Oh my god,
Speaker 23: these must be Nazis because they don't want open borders.
Speaker 3: I mean to say that about a man like JD.
Speaker 5: Vance who's married to a Indian and American woman who's
Speaker 5: got biracial children. To try to paint him with some
Speaker 5: sort of a Nazi white supremacist is just so disgusting.
Speaker 5: But we are seeing this center right wave throughout Europe,
Speaker 5: from Italy to Finland.
Speaker 3: The right wing parties are.
Speaker 5: Doing much better they have been, But is there an
Speaker 5: appetite there to actually tackle the left wing bureaucracy that
Speaker 5: is pushing all these agendas we're seeing with the Trump administration,
Speaker 5: they are just going after the bureaucracy and making sure
Speaker 5: that they're not going to frustrate their efforts to implement
Speaker 5: their policies. Is that happening in Europe as well, where
Speaker 5: those right center right parties are availing.
Speaker 23: Well, don't forgets the long march through institutions of the
Speaker 23: left started in the late sixties, early seventies, and they
Speaker 23: didn't gain full control up until the nineties. So my fear,
Speaker 23: of course is we don't have that much time. So
Speaker 23: the change of the debureaucracy and even more importantly the judiciary.
Speaker 23: I mean, we have this problem. We have it in Australia,
Speaker 23: we have it in continental Europe, the UK, but of
Speaker 23: course also in the United States there is an activist
Speaker 23: class within the judiciary who believes that they have to
Speaker 23: follow not the letter of the law, but some kind
Speaker 23: of ideological prescription. I give you a very concrete example,
Speaker 23: and I think many people in Australia don't know. The
Speaker 23: European Court of Justice just recently decided that every single
Speaker 23: woman in Afghanistan has automatically the rights to claim asylum
Speaker 23: in Europe, in every country. So it's nineteen million people
Speaker 23: that have a blanket right to asylum. Austria has nine
Speaker 23: million inhabitants. Now nineteen million women will not make it
Speaker 23: from Afghanistan to Austria. But that's a technical problem, a
Speaker 23: logistical one, but from a legal perspective, Austria would have
Speaker 23: to give those people asylum. But of course then Austria
Speaker 23: as a nation would cease to exist. Nine million Austrians,
Speaker 23: nineteen million in Afghans. You would be a minority own country.
Speaker 23: But it's a legal ruling. And this is what I
Speaker 23: mean when I say that this march through institutions, or
Speaker 23: the return of sanate into the institutions, that's kind of
Speaker 23: the the big challenge for the next couple of years.
Speaker 23: We can be very grateful. I believe Donald Trump is
Speaker 23: a flawed man, and we all are flawed humans. But
Speaker 23: I think you understood one thing though, that if you
Speaker 23: want to change something, it starts with a bureaucracy. There's
Speaker 23: the famous saying by the German politician Bismarck, who want
Speaker 23: said the best laws are useless with a bad bureaucracy.
Speaker 23: But the same goes with that, the worst bureaucracy doesn't
Speaker 23: help if you have or cannot execute a good laws.
Speaker 2: And this is I think what he has realized. Great
Speaker 2: to hear Bismarck quest before and outside is that's the
Speaker 2: first Ralph, Ralph Sholhammer, Great to chat to you as
Speaker 2: always live from Vienna there and thanks Ralph for staying
Speaker 2: up so late to chapter's what's happening in Europe? Will
Speaker 2: teating on top of that coming up after the break.
Speaker 2: Candra clown Show in a tick, roll up, roll up,
Speaker 2: step right this way. It's the wackiest show in town.
Speaker 2: It's the Canbra clown Show, which this week made the
Speaker 2: mistake of heading out of the Burly Riffin Big Top
Speaker 2: and visiting Woollongong, home of the floating windmills. Looks like
Speaker 2: not everyone enjoyed the show. Still, if Albo wasn't feeling
Speaker 2: the love at the water's edge. He made a better
Speaker 2: go of it with some Valentine's Day poetry.
Speaker 9: Rosas are red, it's volat of blue, It's valentine to
Speaker 9: Day and we love blue collar working.
Speaker 1: Who said I love you first? Same time? Same time?
Speaker 1: It was definitely the same time.
Speaker 2: The half of and I Happy Valentine's Day.
Speaker 3: Australia, Happy Valentine's State.
Speaker 20: One year since we got engaged, Oh.
Speaker 2: Dear, But when it comes to romancing, the view as
Speaker 2: Albo was just warming up. Well, congratulations, Prime minister. But
Speaker 2: speaking of prime ministerial love affairs, in these days of
Speaker 2: Elon Musk and his Doge Department uncovering governmental bureaucratic largesse
Speaker 2: on an unimaginable scale to politically aligned non government organizations,
Speaker 2: one can't help but fondly remember those other prime ministerial
Speaker 2: love affairs, such as the love affair between Julia Gillard
Speaker 2: and the Clintons, or more importantly, the Clinton Foundation. You see,
Speaker 2: between twenty ten and twenty thirteen, Prime Minister Julia Gillard
Speaker 2: donated three hundred million dollars of your and my and
Speaker 2: every other Australian taxpayers dollars three hundred million of them,
Speaker 2: no small change to the Clinton afil Global Partnership for Education.
Speaker 2: AH smiles all around, feel the love. But this was
Speaker 2: no short fling. In February twenty fourteen, as Gillard raised
Speaker 2: a few eyebrows when, having left politics, she was appointed
Speaker 2: chair of the Clinton Foundation affiliated Global Partnership for Education,
Speaker 2: a leading organization dedicated to expanding access and quality education worldwide.
Speaker 2: What a noble cause. Still, the Clinton's love affair with
Speaker 2: Australian politicians goes way way back further than that. Indeed,
Speaker 2: who's this dashing young man sitting beside behind Bill Clinton.
Speaker 2: It's John Howard's Foreign Minister, Alexander Downer, and Bill is
Speaker 2: standing at a podium that says Australian Government oss AID,
Speaker 2: a USAID A USAID. That rings a bell, of course,
Speaker 2: it's the Australian counterpart of the recently much maligned us AID. Hmm. Anyway,
Speaker 2: in February two thousand and six, Foreign Minister Downer and
Speaker 2: Bill Clinton signed a twenty five million dollar memorandum of understanding,
Speaker 2: which triggered the first round of Australian donations to the
Speaker 2: Clinton Foundation. By December two thousand and eight, the Clinton
Speaker 2: Foundation reported that Australia was the largest Western government donor. Hmmm,
Speaker 2: that tugs at the heart strings, doesn't it our money?
Speaker 2: By the way, But wait, there's more. In two thousand
Speaker 2: and nine ten Kevin rad handed over another ten million
Speaker 2: dollars to the Clinton Foundation for Climate research, which was
Speaker 2: just a tinsy part of the three hundred million dollars. Yes,
Speaker 2: mister Rudd handed out your money for a global carbon
Speaker 2: capture and Storage institute.
Speaker 1: Hmmm, but but what's this?
Speaker 2: Even more prime ministerial roma answering with the Clintons. In
Speaker 2: twenty fourteen, Tony Abbotts short lived government topped up the
Speaker 2: Clinton coffers with another one hundred and forty million dollars
Speaker 2: of Ossie taxpayers money, including twenty seven million to aid
Speaker 2: initiatives to run through something called the Clinton Health Access Initiative.
Speaker 2: And yes, so strong was the affection that Australian governments
Speaker 2: felt for the Clintons that the love affair continued, with
Speaker 2: Julie Bishop tossing in a few more bob By the
Speaker 2: time the Australian government had finished its love affair with
Speaker 2: the Clintons, our political leaders had given their foundations as
Speaker 2: staggering four hundred and sixty million dollars. That's nearly half
Speaker 2: a billion of your hard earned money. My thanks to
Speaker 2: r M for the research on that astonishing trans Pacific
Speaker 2: Clinton Australia love affair. Meanwhile, we learned yesterday from Guys
Speaker 2: very on Chris Allman, writing in the Australian newspaper that
Speaker 2: quotes search the Globe, and it turns out that Australia
Speaker 2: has the highest paid senior bureaucrats in the world, or
Speaker 2: as former Treasury Assistant Secretary David Peerl has noted incredibly,
Speaker 2: over one hundred public servants earn more than the cabinet
Speaker 2: ministers they serve. This is Canberra and this is an
Speaker 2: absolute disgrace. Allmond says. We need to have the wages
Speaker 2: of departmental heads and freeze them until they start coming
Speaker 2: up with ideas that lift the suffocating regulatory burden of government.
Speaker 2: And that is, of course the point. Investment and small
Speaker 2: and big businesses are being strangled by red, green, and
Speaker 2: black bureaucratic tape designed by fat cat bureaucrats and politicians
Speaker 2: who are completely out of touch with.
Speaker 7: The real world.
Speaker 2: Much like the strange love affair between Australian prime ministers
Speaker 2: and the Clinton's and the love affair between Camber and
Speaker 2: big bureaucracy. It appears the Fab four got it wrong.
Speaker 12: Money can buy you love, money.
Speaker 2: Beautiful Julia Gilard Frez speaking of Julia hyperbol but Rache,
Speaker 2: you have some more hyperbol love for us to tell.
Speaker 5: I think this is just absolutely blowing up on social media.
Speaker 5: It appears that Elon Musker's father his thirteenth child with
Speaker 5: a lady called Ashley Saint Clair. She is a conservative blogger,
Speaker 5: but things have gone sour between the pair. She's the
Speaker 5: one who made this public and he hasn't confirmed it,
Speaker 5: nor have his people confirmed it, so we're assuming this
Speaker 5: is true. It's been reported widely now, but it is
Speaker 5: going to cause all sorts of interest and in the.
Speaker 2: Days, class of this on the Rita Pannehe Show Monday
