Speaker 1: Live on Skeynes, Australia.
Speaker 2: This is to Nika the Georgio.
Speaker 3: Hello and welcome to the show coming up tonight. The
Speaker 3: blatant hypocrisy of the left on full display as the
Speaker 3: fallout from the assassination of political commentator Charlie Kirk continues.
Speaker 4: Will cross to Washington.
Speaker 5: D C.
Speaker 3: For the latest as the FBI release new video.
Speaker 4: Of the suspect.
Speaker 3: Why Senator Decinta Napajm Proprice has a prime opportunity to
Speaker 3: challenge the Liberal Party to reveal its true conservative values
Speaker 3: as she moves to the backbench and the PM hands
Speaker 3: down his envoys report on Islamophobia? Why is he still
Speaker 3: conflating it with anti Semitism? But first tonight, the assassination
Speaker 3: of US political commentator Charlie Kirk has exposed the insane
Speaker 3: hypocrisy of the left, you know, the so called tolerant left,
Speaker 3: the same left to always worn about the far right,
Speaker 3: the same left to always warn about the right being
Speaker 3: so divisive and full of hate? And for what for
Speaker 3: holding mainstream views that were once never actually even considered
Speaker 3: to be controversial, Like pointing out that basic biology means
Speaker 3: there are only two genders, or that women's spaces should
Speaker 3: be protected from men. Or how about that mass migration
Speaker 3: is a problem, Or for pointing out that importing some
Speaker 3: people from countries whose values do not align with Western
Speaker 3: democracies is also a problem.
Speaker 4: Now, these are not.
Speaker 3: Far right views. They are views that you at home share.
Speaker 3: But these are views the left want silenced. And they
Speaker 3: are the same views held by Charlie Kirk, who has
Speaker 3: paid the ultimate price for daring to challenge the nutjobs.
Speaker 3: The left doesn't want a debate. They aren't tolerant at all.
Speaker 3: It's all b s. Twenty four hours after his death,
Speaker 3: we now know more about the suspect after, of course,
Speaker 3: the thirty one year old was killed by a single
Speaker 3: bullet to the neck while speaking at the Utah Valley University.
Speaker 6: This is the rooftop where the assassin fired the fatal bullet,
Speaker 6: and there he is running from left to the rights
Speaker 6: of frame. He's just fired the shot that killed Charlie Kirk,
Speaker 6: and this is his getaway. He runs to the back
Speaker 6: of the building and jumps down to the ground. Then
Speaker 6: he runs towards a nearby road and on into woodland beyond.
Speaker 6: It is video released by the FBI, along with a
Speaker 6: new set of images. This is the person of interest
Speaker 6: they want to trace.
Speaker 3: Now, the FBI is yet to name the suspect. They
Speaker 3: have confirmed though, that they are pursuing the death penalty.
Speaker 3: But Charlie Kirk was a man and ahead of his time,
Speaker 3: warning about issues that are having a huge impact on
Speaker 3: the West, including right now in Australia.
Speaker 5: Rcial battle is coming to the West and the enemies
Speaker 5: are Wokeism, re Marxism combining with Islamism to go after
Speaker 5: what we call the American way of life. And the
Speaker 5: American way of life is very simple. I want to
Speaker 5: be able to get married, buy a home, have kids,
Speaker 5: allow them to ride their bike till the sun goes down,
Speaker 5: send them to a good school, have a low crime neighborhood.
Speaker 5: Not to have my kid be taught the lesbian, gay,
Speaker 5: transgender garbage in their school.
Speaker 3: Now, there's certainly nothing far right about that, But of
Speaker 3: course we live in a world of a captured media
Speaker 3: and political sphere where debate is shut down and it's
Speaker 3: about time for the left to wake up, get off
Speaker 3: their high horses and moral superiority complexes in thinking that
Speaker 3: their opinion is not the only one that counts. Charlie
Speaker 3: Kirk's murder isn't just in a democracy or on free speech.
Speaker 3: It's an attack on the right to have a different opinion.
Speaker 3: The UK's Channel four Today even described Charlie Kirk as
Speaker 3: a far right influencer.
Speaker 7: Today America commemorates the tragedy and the terror that was
Speaker 7: nine to eleven. But after the fatal shooting of chrum
Speaker 7: Friend and far right to wing super infants of Charlie Kirk,
Speaker 7: what haunts America's domestic terror and spiraling political violence?
Speaker 3: What an absolute load of nonsense. And this is the
Speaker 3: exact problem. Just because someone holds right wing views does
Speaker 3: not make them far right.
Speaker 4: What a disgrace to his memory.
Speaker 3: What an insult to a man who was murdered in
Speaker 3: cold blood in the most horrific of circumstances for the
Speaker 3: world to see, including his wife and two children.
Speaker 4: Charlie Kirk was a Christian.
Speaker 3: He held traditional Christian values, and now suddenly being a
Speaker 3: Christian is a problem. Being a Christian is controversial, and
Speaker 3: of course we are not immune. We saw this in
Speaker 3: our own country only a few weeks ago, when tens
Speaker 3: of thousands took to the streets for the marches of Australia,
Speaker 3: and I know many of you at home attended. You
Speaker 3: are worried about mass migration when we can't get every
Speaker 3: day ossies into housing. You are worried about the types
Speaker 3: of people we're bringing into this country, some whose values
Speaker 3: do not align with ours and some who don't want
Speaker 3: to assimilate. And because a group of neo Nazis rocked up,
Speaker 3: who were booed by crowds because they were unwanted, the
Speaker 3: political class labeled those who attended the rally racist.
Speaker 1: And the tone of course of much of the rallies
Speaker 1: was unfortunate is the best way that you could put it,
Speaker 1: but hateful in some of the extreme examples.
Speaker 2: Marine Feruki will speak more about the racist overtones of
Speaker 2: these rallies.
Speaker 3: The Andy immigrant rallies on the weekend must be called
Speaker 3: out for what they are, acts of assist fear mongering
Speaker 3: and heat. I haven't seen a good fascist yet.
Speaker 8: We absolutely condemn the March for Australia rally that's going
Speaker 8: on today. It is not about increasing social harmony.
Speaker 3: Right, So every day mums and dads, every day Aussies
Speaker 3: all tarnished with the same brush, and it's the same brush.
Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk was tarnished with even after his death. This
Speaker 3: commentator in the UK Today likened him to the leader
Speaker 3: of the ku Klux Klan.
Speaker 4: I don't agree.
Speaker 6: He was a sister of the techlockeage.
Speaker 4: I believe it was a devid duke for the TikTok
Speaker 4: Each and I have some degree.
Speaker 7: He just was the former grand wizard of the Kukos Klan.
Speaker 3: So because you share a view that mass migration is
Speaker 3: a problem and that some cultures do not align with ours,
Speaker 3: then suddenly you're a Nazi. And as I said earlier,
Speaker 3: the tolerant left, it's all bs. They resort to hideous
Speaker 3: violence like what we saw yesterday, and why because there
Speaker 3: are arguments never stack up. There's a woman?
Speaker 9: What is That's a question question what.
Speaker 3: Is a woman? It's not a trick question what is
Speaker 3: a woman?
Speaker 5: You can't answer the question with the question, Yeah, define
Speaker 5: the woman without saying woman. Social you're in college paying
Speaker 5: for an education.
Speaker 3: What is a woman?
Speaker 5: You don't need media training.
Speaker 3: It's not a trick what is a woman? I mean
Speaker 3: they're obsessed, aren't they with playing the victim and are
Speaker 3: constantly tying themselves in knots of hypocrisy. You remember in
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two, a minute silence was held in US
Speaker 3: Congress after the death of George Floyd. Democrats, like House
Speaker 3: Speaker Nancy Pelosi, kneeled on a marble floor for eight
Speaker 3: minutes and forty six seconds in his memory.
Speaker 4: We will now kneel for a moment of some.
Speaker 3: Yet, yesterday the Democrats refused a minute silence for Charlie Kirk,
Speaker 3: and in the EU Parliament they too wanted a pause,
Speaker 3: but the left said no.
Speaker 10: Madame President Derek Colleagues, the murderer of political activist Charlie Kirk,
Speaker 10: a husband, loving father and patriot, had shocked the world.
Speaker 10: We must strongly condemn political violence and rhetoric that incites violence.
Speaker 10: Please stand with me in reflection and prayer in his honor,
Speaker 10: and I yield the rest of my time for a
Speaker 10: moment of silence.
Speaker 11: Her Coligems, you have a correspondancey business the President and
Speaker 11: well we have discussed this, and you know that the
Speaker 11: President said no to eight minutes of silence. Yep.
Speaker 3: They can't hate conservative voices enough, not even for one day.
Speaker 4: Can they put their political views aside?
Speaker 6: Yet?
Speaker 3: Can you imagine what would have happened if this was
Speaker 3: a left wing influencer. These people are truly sick. Charlie
Speaker 3: Kirk once said the greatest threat to freedom is when
Speaker 3: people are too afraid to speak their minds.
Speaker 4: And he's not wrong.
Speaker 3: Now I think his death will only embolden those with
Speaker 3: conservative views to speak up.
Speaker 4: We should never be afraid.
Speaker 3: We need more speech, we don't need silence, because in
Speaker 3: the end, evil never wins. Charlie Kirk was a father
Speaker 3: of two young children and a husband. Today, his wife,
Speaker 3: Erica Kirk, clutched the hand of Vice President Jadie Vance's
Speaker 3: wife Usha, as her husband's body returned to Arizona and
Speaker 3: Phoenix Air Traffic Control sent this message upon landing.
Speaker 6: Parm molimentarily that deserve it.
Speaker 8: Make God bless your family.
Speaker 3: The world has lost a great man. And I'll end
Speaker 3: on this quote. If you leave your children a world
Speaker 3: where you never stood up, they'll inherit one where they can't.
Speaker 3: Joining me now four more on this from Washington, DC
Speaker 3: is Ben Leo, host of The Late Show Live on
Speaker 3: gb News. Ben, good to see you. Thank you so
Speaker 3: much for joining me on the show this evening. Can
Speaker 3: you firstly give us a sense of the mood in
Speaker 3: the US. More than a day after Charlie Kirk was murdered.
Speaker 12: Ah Zanika, good evening, Good evening to you guys down under.
Speaker 12: Hope you're doing okay. Look, it's been a pretty well
Speaker 12: win twenty four hours. It's a nation morning, but it's
Speaker 12: quite clear now that it's a nation divided as well.
Speaker 12: The reaction has been of sadness, of disbelief, and if
Speaker 12: you were unfortunate enough to stumble across the pretty graphic
Speaker 12: videos going around of Charlie Kirk's heinous murder yesterday, it's
Speaker 12: sort of utter shock. I mean, it's a video I
Speaker 12: wish I never saw and it's going to be imprinted
Speaker 12: on my brain for a very long time. But also
Speaker 12: on the flip side, unfortunately, as maybe you guys down
Speaker 12: under have seen today, it's also a nation that is
Speaker 12: pretty much at tens to hooks. We're at boiling point
Speaker 12: when it comes to the political divide. Tensions are so
Speaker 12: high that we've lost well, I say we, the nation,
Speaker 12: part of the nation, especially the left, the radical lunatic left,
Speaker 12: have completely lost their minds in all sense of reality
Speaker 12: when it comes to marking the death of not just
Speaker 12: a political commentation, not just somebody who was credited with
Speaker 12: getting Donald Trump elected and really galvanizing the youth vote
Speaker 12: in America. Forget all that, that's just Charlie Kirk's identity
Speaker 12: and persona. This was a loving husband and a father
Speaker 12: of two. And the very facts that many many people
Speaker 12: here this side of the pond, and indeed all across
Speaker 12: the world cannot for one day shut their jobs and
Speaker 12: pay respect to somebody who's lost their lives and maybe
Speaker 12: said a prayer for the two poor babies who have
Speaker 12: been left behind. No, no, no, they want to get
Speaker 12: out on the streets celebrate the death of Charlie Kirk
Speaker 12: because he may have said something they didn't agree with.
Speaker 12: So it's a nation divided, and it's also i'd argue,
Speaker 12: a very sick nation on the other side as well,
Speaker 12: who can't bring themselves to pay respects to a fellow's
Speaker 12: human being at the end of the day, it was
Speaker 12: so callously murdered in cold blood exactly.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's been a disgrace, to be quite honest,
Speaker 3: to see the left's reaction to this.
Speaker 4: I mean, you.
Speaker 3: Point out, this is a man who leaves behind a
Speaker 3: wife and two little children, and the Left can't just
Speaker 3: stop for one minute and think about how they would
Speaker 3: feel if they were in the same situation.
Speaker 4: It's a disgrace.
Speaker 3: Now I want to talk about this because you interviewed
Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk on your show and I want to play
Speaker 3: to our audience a bit of what he told you.
Speaker 3: You have a listen.
Speaker 5: The question is is macro Islam compatible with Western values? Macro,
Speaker 5: of course it's not. There are three men major reasons
Speaker 5: why Islam does not believe in freedom of speech. Islam
Speaker 5: does not believe in freedom or religion, and Islam does
Speaker 5: not believe in separation of mass and stead. Those three
Speaker 5: things are antithetical to the West.
Speaker 3: Been listening to that interview, it got me thinking, I mean,
Speaker 3: the left are always warning about the you know, extreme
Speaker 3: right wing views, the extreme right, and as Charlie shared
Speaker 3: in your interview, these views they're not extreme that you know,
Speaker 3: having concerns about mass migration, or you know that there
Speaker 3: are only two genders. But the left don't want to
Speaker 3: have these conversations, do they. They're obsessed with labeling anyone
Speaker 3: who doesn't agree with them as extremists.
Speaker 12: Yeah, these ideas of oh, oh my goodness me, how
Speaker 12: radical is it that a nation wants to protect their borders.
Speaker 12: I mean something that's ten years ago. You'd ask any
Speaker 12: random person in the street who wasn't really politically engaged
Speaker 12: or watched the news. That's a normal thing to think
Speaker 12: just ten years ago. Same with mutilating children at the
Speaker 12: altar of gender ideology, or even Laura and Order defunding
Speaker 12: the police. These are absolutely insane ideas that I'd say,
Speaker 12: you know, fifteen, ten years ago, most normal people would
Speaker 12: be on boarder with they weren't extreme views.
Speaker 4: He's also accused.
Speaker 12: Charlie of being sort of homophobic or something like that
Speaker 12: because he said that, you know, he prioritizes the nuclear
Speaker 12: family structure. Again, these are just strong Christian values. Who
Speaker 12: would have thought that being a Christian is so controversial
Speaker 12: these days? You talk about migration and you say, okay,
Speaker 12: you're carrying a placard saying refugees welcome, open borders. That's fine,
Speaker 12: we've got housing criss Where do you think they may go?
Speaker 12: Very simple questions and you can see their brain going
Speaker 12: a million miles an hour in real time because their
Speaker 12: arguments come apart at the scenes and when that happens,
Speaker 12: because they've been brought up with a life that I
Speaker 12: argue being never being told no, Mummy, can I have
Speaker 12: another biscuit? No, Mummy can I.
Speaker 8: Mummy?
Speaker 12: Can I please have a new bite? Of course you can, yes,
Speaker 12: never being told no. They've grown up through an education
Speaker 12: system where they've been spoilt, been exposed to other ideas,
Speaker 12: and the very moment somebody asks a very simple question
Speaker 12: which may challenge their view of the world, their brains explode.
Speaker 12: And unfortunately, a lot of the time, if you have very,
Speaker 12: very disturbed individuals, they turn to violence.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly like we've seen, you know, over the last
Speaker 3: twenty four hours.
Speaker 4: And how's the hypocrisy?
Speaker 3: Ben Democrats, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. They kneeled
Speaker 3: for over eight minutes on a marble floor back in
Speaker 3: twenty twenty for George Floyd.
Speaker 4: I mean this vision, you can't make it up.
Speaker 3: Yet the Dems could not even pause for a minute's
Speaker 3: silence for Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 13: Have a look at this, Please rise for a moment
Speaker 13: of prayer for Charlie Kirk and his family. Let's let's
Speaker 13: let's wait a minute, wait a minute. The house will
Speaker 13: be in an order. The house will be an order.
Speaker 13: We will join for prayer. Rate after this, okay, the
Speaker 13: House will be in order.
Speaker 3: I just find an extraordinary bend that even after somebody
Speaker 3: whose views that they don't agree with have been murdered
Speaker 3: in the most horrific of circumstances, none of them can
Speaker 3: show compassion. What does this say about the Democrats?
Speaker 12: I mean, what does it say about the Democrats? What
Speaker 12: did to say about the left in general? I mean
Speaker 12: they for some reason that the left fifteen years ago
Speaker 12: used to be left of censer.
Speaker 5: They have gone so far left.
Speaker 12: There's a reason President Donald Trump calls them the lunatic
Speaker 12: radical left. They've lost all sense of humanity, a point
Speaker 12: I touched out at the start of our conversation. And
Speaker 12: I think it's got a lot to do with faith. Actually,
Speaker 12: I'm not massively religious. I got married in the church.
Speaker 12: I believe in Jesus Christ. I wouldn't say I'm a Christian,
Speaker 12: though maybe some people would say I am. But I
Speaker 12: think they've got no concept of their own consciousness, their
Speaker 12: own divinity, and what it means to be on this earth.
Speaker 12: I think they lack human empathy and human connection. But
Speaker 12: when we are living in a day and age where
Speaker 12: the left can't debate and they resort to violence is
Speaker 12: to carry on doing what Charlie Kirk did. He called
Speaker 12: himself the happy warrior. He debated these people, he shared ideas,
Speaker 12: He maybe opened their mind to the possibility that they
Speaker 12: may be wrong, or there may be other answers to
Speaker 12: their questions. He did it with a smile, with a
Speaker 12: right smile, sometimes with a joke. He never tried to
Speaker 12: make his opponents feel stupid or belittled, and that's what
Speaker 12: he did best. And people couldn't handle that. When you
Speaker 12: kill him with kindness, they can't handle it. And I'd
Speaker 12: argue it's the demon inside, especially if you're a god
Speaker 12: loving man like Charlie Kirk was. The demon inside them
Speaker 12: simply can't handle it. But the best thing we can
Speaker 12: do is to continue the fight with the smile, prove
Speaker 12: them wrong with ideas and debates, and never never sup
Speaker 12: to their level of violence and evil.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I agree, We've got to keep talking about these
Speaker 3: issues because in the end, evil never wins no matter what,
Speaker 3: ben Leo are. You're absolutely wonderful. I so appreciate your time.
Speaker 3: Thank you very much for joining me on the show
Speaker 3: this evening.
Speaker 4: You're welcome. Actually soon, Well, let's return to issues, back
Speaker 4: home now.
Speaker 3: Senator just said to sent a Nampajimpa Price has a
Speaker 3: prime opportunity now to challenge the Liberal Party to reveal
Speaker 3: its true conservative.
Speaker 4: Values from the back bench.
Speaker 3: The way she was treated this week after comments on
Speaker 3: Indian migrants, in my view, was an absolute disgrace. This
Speaker 3: is a strong politician, a woman who single handedly helped
Speaker 3: get the no vote over the line in the Voice
Speaker 3: referendum at a woman who stands up for this country.
Speaker 3: Yet she was abandoned this week by some members of
Speaker 3: her own party. One by one, MPs came out and
Speaker 3: apologized to the Indian community on her behalf. Now sure
Speaker 3: she made a mega blunder by not publicly backing her
Speaker 3: own leader in Susan Lee. It cost her her spot
Speaker 3: on the front bench. I said it earlier this week.
Speaker 3: Her comments were clumsy in singling out Indian migrants, But
Speaker 3: did she have to apologize for them?
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 3: I am still trying to understand why this was such
Speaker 3: an offense. There's nothing racist in noting that labourlike high
Speaker 3: immigration because they believe it gives them an electoral advantage.
Speaker 3: High migration suits labor politically and it's the only thing
Speaker 3: propping up our Ponzi scheme economy.
Speaker 4: So how on earth is a Liberal Party now.
Speaker 3: Going to be able to have a proper debate on
Speaker 3: migration when as soon as Labor says boo on racism
Speaker 3: they run for the hills. Andrew Hasty, who will no
Speaker 3: doubt lead the Liberal Party one day, suggested this week
Speaker 3: that this whole saga has been mishandled by leader Susan Lee.
Speaker 12: Didn't have to get to this point, but what is
Speaker 12: done is done, it can't be undone and we've just
Speaker 12: got to move forward.
Speaker 3: Some Liberal MPs have also publicly shown their hands backbench
Speaker 3: at Tony Pasen told The Australian, my office has been
Speaker 3: inundated by party members who have expressed dismay at the
Speaker 3: decision to dump Senator Price to the backbench, many of
Speaker 3: whom have asked for advice on how they can provide
Speaker 3: their feedback and when asked if Miss Lee hand or
Speaker 3: mishandled the situation, he said yes. Liberal Senator Alex Antik
Speaker 3: said Jacinta is a strong and principled leader who should
Speaker 3: be encouraged.
Speaker 4: To speak her mind.
Speaker 3: We are not going to win the next election by
Speaker 3: running at the first sniff of grape shot and well,
Speaker 3: look they out wrong?
Speaker 4: Are they? What a shame?
Speaker 3: There are only a handful of politicians who say it
Speaker 3: like it is, like just into nampagen for Price. We
Speaker 3: need voices like that in this country. Like Nigel Faraj
Speaker 3: is in the UK, and I wonder he's doing well
Speaker 3: in the polls because when he speaks on immigration, for example,
Speaker 3: he does it without fear or favor. He even said
Speaker 3: voters trust him on it when I interviewed him this
Speaker 3: week on Paul Murray Live.
Speaker 8: A lot of our population are just saying enough enough
Speaker 8: of this woke rubbish.
Speaker 14: We actually want a government that protects our borders and
Speaker 14: what's the interest of our people's first.
Speaker 3: Moderates don't win elections in my view, just intera nampajmper
Speaker 3: Price can out go to the back bench and she
Speaker 3: can say whatever the heck she wants, and boy I
Speaker 3: hope she does. Let's go straight to Shadow Cabinet Secretary
Speaker 3: Andrew Wallace.
Speaker 4: Now, Andrew, thanks for your time. Let's start with this.
Speaker 3: Some conservatives have cast doubt now over Susan Lee's leadership
Speaker 3: following this whole saga.
Speaker 4: She's maintained that it's not under threat.
Speaker 3: Do you support her.
Speaker 14: Absolutely, I support Susan Lee's leadership, Danika. Look, unless someone's
Speaker 14: prepared to put their name to those sort of reports,
Speaker 14: I think we can treat them with the contempt that
Speaker 14: they deserve.
Speaker 3: So you're backing her. You think that everything was handled
Speaker 3: this week?
Speaker 4: Correct? What about Justinta Nampa Jimpur price?
Speaker 3: Was the right decision made there that she simply had
Speaker 3: to go.
Speaker 4: To the back bench?
Speaker 14: Well, Denika, when you serve on the front bench, whether
Speaker 14: it be government or opposition, we have hundreds of years
Speaker 14: of Westminster president that says if you can't support the
Speaker 14: leader of the party, then you shouldn't be on the
Speaker 14: front bench. This decision should have come as no surprise
Speaker 14: to anybody, least of all to Jacintha. If she can't
Speaker 14: openly declare her confidence and supporting the leader, then you
Speaker 14: can't remain on the front bench.
Speaker 3: It's as simple as that. Is a Liberal party in disarray,
Speaker 3: sorry I said, is a Liberal party right now in
Speaker 3: complete disarray?
Speaker 14: Look, I don't believe so. These things are always challenging.
Speaker 14: Opposition is challenging. There are clearly people who nobody is
Speaker 14: happy in opposition in the Liberal Party. But we need
Speaker 14: to ensure that we are representing our electorates and taking
Speaker 14: the fight to labor. You know that the one thing
Speaker 14: that the greatest thing that concerns me out of all
Speaker 14: of this is that the Prime Minister has had a
Speaker 14: week where he's been basically being able to cruise. We
Speaker 14: have to return to our main focus and that is
Speaker 14: to keep the government to account and that's what we'll
Speaker 14: be doing.
Speaker 3: You know, Look, I do agree with you there that
Speaker 3: Olbow has been had free reign this week. I mean,
Speaker 3: he went on a sex and dating podcast for goodness sake,
Speaker 3: but he's been allowed to talk about himself. Look, let's
Speaker 3: move on because the US President Donald Trump has praised
Speaker 3: Anthony Albanezi, calling him a good man.
Speaker 4: Have a listen at this.
Speaker 5: How was your call with the Italian Prime ministerot, how
Speaker 5: is your call with the Italian minister?
Speaker 3: We've been a good laugh.
Speaker 11: Do you think he's a good parent?
Speaker 3: Well I do.
Speaker 1: I've had respectful relations with President Trump.
Speaker 10: We have.
Speaker 1: Had four discussions that have been really warm. The last
Speaker 1: one was just Ober a week ago. I look forward
Speaker 1: to continuing engage with the United States.
Speaker 4: Well, Andrew, it's all very pleasant, isn't it.
Speaker 3: Yet still no sign of an official face to face meeting.
Speaker 14: What's been three hundred and ten days now since the
Speaker 14: President took office and still no face to face meeting. Yes,
Speaker 14: they've had some phone calls, but the reality is Orcus
Speaker 14: is still a big question mark and the trade deals
Speaker 14: tariffs that the Australians are now going to be facing.
Speaker 14: The Prime Minister needs to pony up here. He needs
Speaker 14: to get a face to face meeting, not just at
Speaker 14: a sideline at the UN General Assembly. He needs a
Speaker 14: decent face to face meeting with the President. They're our
Speaker 14: most important security partner. Yet the Prime Minister seems to
Speaker 14: be wanting to do everything but meet with The Prime
Speaker 14: Minister is more busy trying to criticize the US than
Speaker 14: trying to meet with the US President.
Speaker 4: No, I look, I completely agree with you.
Speaker 3: I've got to say before we let you go that
Speaker 3: the beach looks nice behind you tonight, Andrew. I can
Speaker 3: tell you now, Damika it's cool then.
Speaker 4: What it looks like? All right, So no dip for
Speaker 4: you this evening. None of the it looks really lovely.
Speaker 3: Andrew Wallace, appreciate your time as always, Thank you so
Speaker 3: much for joining me on the show. Well let's talk
Speaker 3: more broadly now about migration. Obviously it's a big topic.
Speaker 3: We've been talking about it every day this week. Joining
Speaker 3: me is Macro Business chief economist Leith van Nonslin Lee,
Speaker 3: thanks for joining me based on the saga that we've
Speaker 3: seen them play out in the Liberal Party this week,
Speaker 3: someone like yourself you strongly advocate for lowering migration. How
Speaker 3: confident are you that we will actually get a proper
Speaker 3: debate a debate we so desperately need on big Australia.
Speaker 8: Look, I'm not very confident at all, Danika. There's been
Speaker 8: a conspiracy of silence around immigration, let's be real, for decades,
Speaker 8: and virtually every opinion poll over the past decade or
Speaker 8: so EU strains do not support high levels of immigration
Speaker 8: or a big Australia. Yet politicians continue to shove it
Speaker 8: down our throats, and the left leading media and some
Speaker 8: politicians they always play the racism card whenever someone likes
Speaker 8: like me or anybody else suggests that we should have
Speaker 8: lower immigration. So I'm not that hopeful unfortunately.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's never racist to have a proper discussion.
Speaker 3: It doesn't mean you're anti migration. It just means we
Speaker 3: have to have a serious chat about lowering migration. And
Speaker 3: you know we've been talking about a population plan, which
Speaker 3: we desperately need. If you were put in charge, what
Speaker 3: would you recommend? Where do we even start?
Speaker 8: Okay, So what I do is I would immediately call
Speaker 8: for a plebiscite on Australia's future population to be held
Speaker 8: at the next election. And so you know, it is
Speaker 8: the democratic thing to do to allow Australians to basically
Speaker 8: vote on how big they want Australia become, say by
Speaker 8: twenty fifty, and then the government could then use those
Speaker 8: results of the plebiscite to calibrate the migration system intake
Speaker 8: against the agreed population levels. That's what I do, call
Speaker 8: for an immediate population pleba site.
Speaker 3: Now, look, something needs to happen. I think that's a
Speaker 3: fair point. And even last week Labor announced that Australia's
Speaker 3: permanent migrant intake would be maintained at this historically high
Speaker 3: level of one hundred and eighty five thousand leaf so
Speaker 3: that there's no plans at all, no plans to cap
Speaker 3: migration of this government laid on the line, what does
Speaker 3: this mean for the country.
Speaker 8: Yeah, so it's important to know that that one hundred
Speaker 8: and eighty five thousand. Permanent migrant intake is only the
Speaker 8: family stream and the skilled screen. On top of that
Speaker 8: as another twenty thousand humanitarian migrants we take every year,
Speaker 8: and there's also around thirty thousand net kiwis who come
Speaker 8: to Australia who can live here permanently, So the real
Speaker 8: permanent figure is two hundred and thirty five thousand, and
Speaker 8: that's coincidentally exactly what the Center for Population's long run
Speaker 8: projections are for Australias net overseas migration for the next
Speaker 8: forty years. And then, of course we've got the temporary migrants,
Speaker 8: whose numbers grown by seven hundred and fifty thousand since
Speaker 8: Labor came to office, and the Albanese government last month
Speaker 8: mentioned that they're going to raise the student intake by
Speaker 8: another twenty five thousand. So the upshot of all this
Speaker 8: Danika is that immigration is going to remain high, which
Speaker 8: means that the housing and infrastructure problems in our major
Speaker 8: cities are going to remain unfortunately.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well this is Labour's big Australia and it was
Speaker 3: interestingly because you wrote this week about how the solution
Speaker 3: to Australia's rental crisis has been played out in real
Speaker 3: time in Canada. So what can we learn.
Speaker 8: Yeah, so, just like in Australia, rents in Canada sowed
Speaker 8: unbelievable levels in twenty twenty two and twenty twenty three
Speaker 8: in response to Canada's largest ever influx of migrants, so
Speaker 8: they had an absolutely massive immigration boom like US. But
Speaker 8: mid last year, the Canadian government actually imposed a three
Speaker 8: year freeze on Canada's population growth. And the plans work,
Speaker 8: so the Canada's seen heaps of temporary migrants go home
Speaker 8: and Canada's population growth is flatlined. And as a result
Speaker 8: of this population growth flat line, in Canada's actually seen
Speaker 8: eleven consecutive months of falling rents. So Canada has basically
Speaker 8: in the process of solving its rental crisis by effectively
Speaker 8: freezing the population, not allowing the population to grow, letting
Speaker 8: housing catch up. And as a result, rents are now
Speaker 8: falling and the vacancy rate is rising.
Speaker 10: And what this.
Speaker 8: Tells you is that for Australia, the solution to our
Speaker 8: rental crisis is to obviously slow population growth to a
Speaker 8: level that is below the nation's ability to build housing infrastructure.
Speaker 8: If we do that, we'll actually solve the rentals and
Speaker 8: if we don't do that, the rental crisis is going
Speaker 8: to continue. It's as simple as that.
Speaker 3: Well, the real time solutions are out there, just look
Speaker 3: overseas exactly. Leith ban Oncelm good to see, Thanks as
Speaker 3: always for coming on the show. We're coming up after
Speaker 3: the break. The Prime Minister hands down his envoys report
Speaker 3: on is Lamophobia Why is he still conflating it with
Speaker 3: anti Semitism?
Speaker 4: Plus animal rights group.
Speaker 3: Peter calls on a pub to boycott meat for goodness sake.
Speaker 3: All that are more with my panel. Next welcome back
Speaker 3: to the program. Joining me now is New South Wales
Speaker 3: Independent MP Tanya Mahalick and former New South Wales Police Minister.
Speaker 4: David Elliott Hid. Both of you, thank you so much
Speaker 4: for joining me.
Speaker 3: Look, I want to get your reaction first of course,
Speaker 3: to the political assassination of Charlie Kirk this week. David,
Speaker 3: it's been an awful twenty four hours. What do you
Speaker 3: make firstly of the left's reaction and the response that
Speaker 3: we've seen from the left on this. I mean the
Speaker 3: hypocrisy I feel is on sheer display.
Speaker 9: Well, it's disgusting and I have been amused by the
Speaker 9: fact that this is a political movement that is opposed
Speaker 9: to gun violence and opposed to guns, but they're quite
Speaker 9: happy to celebrate when one of them is used for
Speaker 9: a political assassination. They're prepared to say that. You know,
Speaker 9: the right are terrible because they restrict freedom of speech
Speaker 9: by not allowing us to protest, but they celebrate a
Speaker 9: man who was exercising his freedom of speech and shot.
Speaker 9: There is no I mean, I can't fathom the conservatives
Speaker 9: in the Western world behaving this way if somebody like
Speaker 9: Hillary Clinton died, or if somebody like Tony Blair died.
Speaker 9: So it does show and it's very unhealthy because what
Speaker 9: will happen now is the crazy right wingers will use
Speaker 9: this as an excuse to further their own sometimes radical agenda.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean that is a good point.
Speaker 3: But what do you think, Tanya, what will happen now
Speaker 3: with the conservative movement? Do you think this will only
Speaker 3: just in Bolden, you know, voices like ours are to
Speaker 3: keep speaking.
Speaker 2: I think it will in bold of them. I think,
Speaker 2: look as cruel fate will have it. Charlie Kirk, the
Speaker 2: very symbol of vitality and youth in America's aspirational youth
Speaker 2: will be forever young. And I think it's such a
Speaker 2: tragedy and it's got to be said because you know,
Speaker 2: it's hope dashed, so much potential, unrealized potential with him.
Speaker 2: I mean there was talk all week, you know, in
Speaker 2: the last few days that he could have been a
Speaker 2: potential president down the track. So it is such a tragedy.
Speaker 2: And I think it's going to take not just days
Speaker 2: and weeks and months, but a very long time for
Speaker 2: particularly young people butt conservatives as well, to come together again.
Speaker 3: And they will.
Speaker 2: They will come back and remain in bold and I
Speaker 2: think turning point, his own organizations come out and said
Speaker 2: they'll continue to, you know, to be here the legacy
Speaker 2: that Charlie Kirk had and continue to talk to young people.
Speaker 2: And it's so important that political discourse is not stifled
Speaker 2: as a result. That's a bigger issue. I agree, people
Speaker 2: stop rallying, will people stop coming together and talking on issues.
Speaker 2: The worst thing we could see happen out of these
Speaker 2: is that everyone goes back indoors, stops communicating, stops talking.
Speaker 4: Because what he did was so important for.
Speaker 2: Young people in particularly for aspirational merrit we can't.
Speaker 4: Be silent about this.
Speaker 3: As simple as that, the left love to science debate
Speaker 3: will certainly not be silenced. Now, look, let's talk about
Speaker 3: the opposition leader, Susan Lee sacking just Cinta Napagin for
Speaker 3: price this week, for her comments on India migration and
Speaker 3: for failing to endorse her leadership. David, did she have
Speaker 3: any choice? Did you do the right thing?
Speaker 9: Well, she did have to sack Cinta, as tragic as
Speaker 9: that is, And your latter point was the reason why
Speaker 9: she was sacked. I mean, yes, she said the wrong
Speaker 9: thing and the apology was half winded. But when Cinta
Speaker 9: unfortunately said the leadership of Susan Lee is a matter
Speaker 9: of the party room, that's like saying that you know
Speaker 9: the coach has the full confidence of the board, or yes,
Speaker 9: I will respect you in the morning. I mean that
Speaker 9: is that's the last line you make in that position. Now,
Speaker 9: I think that she will be back, and I think
Speaker 9: that Susan Lee wants her to come back. It's stage
Speaker 9: she's too much of a vote magnet. But I mean,
Speaker 9: I think Justinta's big problem this week was her failure
Speaker 9: to endorse Susan Lee as the leader of the Liberal Party.
Speaker 9: I think everything else she could have she could have
Speaker 9: batted on through well.
Speaker 3: I just think that just sent an amajinba Price. Tania
Speaker 3: is a true leader and I think she she's one
Speaker 3: of a very small handful of politicians who says it
Speaker 3: like it is.
Speaker 4: And then that's why I think a lot of Ossie's.
Speaker 3: Do like her, because she's got a backbone, she's got
Speaker 3: a spine, and she stands up for Australian values.
Speaker 4: But what do you think happens next year?
Speaker 2: Your dissenter is somebody who's so incredibly authentic and really
Speaker 2: does connect with ordinary Australians. And I've seen her at
Speaker 2: some events and people love her, they love talking to her,
Speaker 2: they do connect with her. And look, she's got somebody.
Speaker 3: She's got ten times more.
Speaker 2: Followers and supporters than Susan Lane.
Speaker 3: What does that tell you.
Speaker 2: I think this is a problem for Susan Lane, and
Speaker 2: I think the way she handled this week was a
Speaker 2: problem too. She had the opportunity to apologize to the
Speaker 2: Indian Australian community straight away, she did need to wait
Speaker 2: for dissenter. That was the real issue for her. I
Speaker 2: think her statement of having a Melbourne Cup field of
Speaker 2: reasons as to why she got rid of Jacenta was
Speaker 2: appalling the fact that she put the issue about the
Speaker 2: Indian Australian community. But then also she was offended as
Speaker 2: well well, which issue is that you're sacking to center
Speaker 2: price on which one?
Speaker 3: And the problem for the Liberal.
Speaker 2: Party right now is she was invited to be part
Speaker 2: of the Liberal Party to Center Price, she's an asset.
Speaker 2: They've got to manage this and provide the necessarious support
Speaker 2: they need to keep her going because otherwise, I think
Speaker 2: Matt Canavan and the Nats are going to welcome her
Speaker 2: back with open arms. I think they'd love to have
Speaker 2: her back in the National Party. The National Party, and
Speaker 2: we know, allows a lot more independent thought and discussion
Speaker 2: than the Liberal Party.
Speaker 4: The liber Party is seemed to be wanted to.
Speaker 2: Follow the Labor Party's playbook, and that is about stifling
Speaker 2: debate and keeping people.
Speaker 3: She knows what they stand for right now, so while
Speaker 3: she's on the backbend, she can say whatever the heck
Speaker 3: she wants. And I'm sure that she certainly well yeah, absolutely. Now, look,
Speaker 3: the Prime minist has been conflating anti Semitism with Islamophobia
Speaker 3: since October seven, twenty three, and today his Special Envoy
Speaker 3: for Islamophobia handed down his report.
Speaker 1: Have a look the targeting of Australians based on their
Speaker 1: religious beliefs is not only an attack on them, but
Speaker 1: it's an attack on our core values them.
Speaker 6: A favorite Register has recorded a one hundred and fifty
Speaker 6: percent increase and verified in person islamophobic incidents by November
Speaker 6: twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3: David, why is Labour still conflating these two issues.
Speaker 9: Well, you're quite right to question that, and I think
Speaker 9: the fact that we're singling out one faith over all
Speaker 9: the other faiths is racist. I think what we should
Speaker 9: be saying is why do we have faith based racism
Speaker 9: in this country? Why are the Hindus getting chastised by
Speaker 9: other faiths? Why are Muslims Jews orthodox? Well, I mean
Speaker 9: every religious faith in Australia at the moment is under attack,
Speaker 9: and so what they need to do is make sure
Speaker 9: that they reach out to all of them and say
Speaker 9: faith based discrimination is not is not allowed in this
Speaker 9: country under the under under any circumstances. But highlighting one
Speaker 9: over the other makes those that are victims of discrimination
Speaker 9: and race based hatred that aren't being represented in this
Speaker 9: sort of presentation, feel that they're not going to be
Speaker 9: part of Australia and that's what causes terrorism undert me
Speaker 9: tell you is a former count of Terrorism minister. We
Speaker 9: push these people into feeling into inter feeling completely removed
Speaker 9: from Australian society and that's when they that's when the
Speaker 9: extremists get howhold of them and they push them into
Speaker 9: extremist views and they do extremist things. And so highlighting
Speaker 9: one person one faith over another is very very dangerous
Speaker 9: because it's the faiths that we lead aside and we
Speaker 9: ignore and we don't we don't embrace that are the
Speaker 9: ones that are going to be created will be the
Speaker 9: next round of extremist behavior.
Speaker 4: Look, I think that's a real fair point. I guess
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 3: My thing about this, Tanya, is that we're seeing anti
Speaker 3: Semitism on a daily basis. We've got Jewish Australians scared
Speaker 3: all the time, and yet Labor haven't done anything to
Speaker 3: help the Jewish community realistically since October sevent twenty twenty three.
Speaker 3: But suddenly we've got this Islamophobia report as.
Speaker 4: Well, and now where are the priorities? It's all optics
Speaker 4: for alb and easy.
Speaker 2: We know this, and it's interesting because there's fifty four
Speaker 2: recommendations coming out of this report today. I'd be interested
Speaker 2: to see how many of the Labor Party are really
Speaker 2: going to put through. And one of them is to
Speaker 2: actually have religious freedom laws in Australia, which is not
Speaker 2: going to go down that much. And where is the
Speaker 2: report for the Christians who are also being attacked in Australia.
Speaker 2: I mean, where's the inquiry into that. I mean, like
Speaker 2: I got to tell you, you know, none of this comes
Speaker 2: out well when we look at one group over another.
Speaker 2: And I think, and you're right about anti Semitism, because
Speaker 2: it is alive and well across parts of Australia and
Speaker 2: certainly parts of Sydney. I represented a community that had
Speaker 2: a very large Islamic community for many, many years. I
Speaker 2: actually never had anyone raise his Lamophobia to me personally,
Speaker 2: So that tells you a lot.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: I'm not questioning that there might be some instances around,
Speaker 2: but I would have to say in recent news, you'd
Speaker 2: have to think there are a lot more anti Semitic
Speaker 2: sometimes than any other incidences at this point in time,
Speaker 2: particularly since the hostage crisis, and particularly given that you've
Speaker 2: got these non stop rallies and protests and people sort
Speaker 2: of igniting with about that is making people very nervous.
Speaker 2: What's our Australian community is doing well?
Speaker 4: It's going to be another big weekend.
Speaker 3: Actually, you've got Melbourne, they've got violent they've got possible
Speaker 3: violent clashes this weekend, Anti immigration, Socialist Network and pro
Speaker 3: Palatine Palestine groups to hit the streets. So it's going
Speaker 3: to be a fascinating weekend. We've got to leave it there.
Speaker 4: We're at a time.
Speaker 3: Tanya Mahalk David Elliott, good to see you both. Thank
Speaker 3: you so much for joining me on the show. Coming
Speaker 3: up after the break live to London as the UK's
Speaker 3: ambassador to the US is sacked for his close relationship
Speaker 3: to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 4: That's next.
Speaker 3: Come back or UK Prime Minister Kirs Starmer has sacked
Speaker 3: Britain's ambassador to the US after emails.
Speaker 4: Appeared to show a close relationship.
Speaker 3: Between him and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. It comes just
Speaker 3: twenty four hours after Starmer publicly backed Peter Mandelson. Joining
Speaker 3: me now from London is Samara Gill, a host of
Speaker 3: Triggered with Samara Gill. Good to see you again. Thanks
Speaker 3: so much for joining me. This sounds like an absolute mess.
Speaker 4: Lovely to be back, Danika.
Speaker 15: Honestly, Kis Starmer will go down in history, as you know,
Speaker 15: the worst political judgment ever for a Labor prime minister,
Speaker 15: or any prime minister for that matter, of the United Kingdom.
Speaker 15: He has had a terrible, terrible past few weeks. Just
Speaker 15: last week he had to force our deputy leader out
Speaker 15: for tax dodging, and now this week with Lord Mandelsson,
Speaker 15: the person who holds the highest diplomatic office in the
Speaker 15: land has also had to be sacked because emails revealed
Speaker 15: his extremely close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. I mean they
Speaker 15: were quote unquote best pals. This is an absolute scandal.
Speaker 15: His nickname in Westminster was Prince of Darkness, which should
Speaker 15: have told Kiss Starmer everything that he needed to know
Speaker 15: before he appointed him as the US ambassador. But clearly
Speaker 15: this man's judgment doesn't go anywhere. I mean, these emails
Speaker 15: are very nefarious. It's sort of him sending love and
Speaker 15: support to Jeffrey after hisophil pedophilic convictions and also saying
Speaker 15: we will support you through this, and then trying to
Speaker 15: advise him on how to get a lesser sentence.
Speaker 3: This is really really.
Speaker 15: Nefarious, and the question is why was he even there
Speaker 15: in the first place, Because he's been tied to Epstein
Speaker 15: for years. People know about him flying on the Lolita Express,
Speaker 15: the jets, the parties.
Speaker 3: The photos.
Speaker 15: So the fact that Starmer was defending him just twenty
Speaker 15: four hours ago having to sack him shows our government
Speaker 15: in complete disarray. I mean, you do say that smart
Speaker 15: men are inherently stupid.
Speaker 4: Well that's what they say.
Speaker 3: Tell you what, what an absolute mess and just such
Speaker 3: a poor political judgment. But I guess we aren't surprised
Speaker 3: when it comes to the UK's Prime minister, are we.
Speaker 4: Now. Look, we've got to talk about Prince Harry.
Speaker 3: I know, just before we came on air, he just
Speaker 3: landed in Ukraine on this unannounced visit after being invited
Speaker 3: there by the government. But this comes a day after
Speaker 3: he met with his father, King Charles for the first
Speaker 3: time in nineteen months in London, Samara. The pair shared
Speaker 3: tea at Clarence House during a visit which lasted forty
Speaker 3: five minutes. My question would be, Samara, Harry couldn't even
Speaker 3: spare any more time for his father forty five minutes
Speaker 3: after one and a half years.
Speaker 15: I'll tell you why. I'll tell you the real reason.
Speaker 15: It's all a pr stunt. I mean him and Megan
Speaker 15: had this really flash new up team over in la
Speaker 15: who are trying to make all these meetings happen. I
Speaker 15: mean this Ukraine thing, I hate to say, but I
Speaker 15: think it's also tied to that. I mean, this is
Speaker 15: a man who pines on about how unsafety feels and
Speaker 15: how he needs the British taxpayer to pay for his security,
Speaker 15: but he's very happy to reveal about his twenty five
Speaker 15: Taliban killings in his book that he got a book
Speaker 15: deal for, and then very happy to jet over to Ukraine.
Speaker 15: So this is a man who clearly doesn't care about
Speaker 15: his safety. It's just about his victim complex and his
Speaker 15: meeting with the King.
Speaker 4: I agree.
Speaker 15: I mean, I think that it was a symbolic gesture
Speaker 15: to say, hey, I'm back in with the royal family.
Speaker 15: Public don't take me for a full But no.
Speaker 4: One's falling for it.
Speaker 15: I mean, Harry is really really deep in trouble at
Speaker 15: the moment, even financially. I mean, we know that Megan's
Speaker 15: jam failed to sell out her Season two of her
Speaker 15: cooking show was an absolute disaster. And this man, I
Speaker 15: think will be asking Dad for a little bit more
Speaker 15: money very very quickly. I only see bad things on
Speaker 15: the horizon. And I think also he's trying to get
Speaker 15: back in with the King because he knows he'll never.
Speaker 3: Be able to get back in with William. That's never
Speaker 3: going to happen.
Speaker 15: So once that door is closed, and unfortunately the King passes,
Speaker 15: I don't think there's any chance of him getting back
Speaker 15: into the fold.
Speaker 3: No, which, you know what, He's done it to himself,
Speaker 3: so and so was Meghan. So clearly Meghan has got
Speaker 3: Harry exactly where she wants him. And yeah, forty five minutes, gee,
Speaker 3: especially after you know the King had cancer, has cancer.
Speaker 4: It's shocking. Samara, girl, We've got to leave it there.
Speaker 3: Good to see you as always, Thanks so much for
Speaker 3: joining me on the show. Coming up after the break,
Speaker 3: the winners and losers of the week, including the croc
Speaker 3: wrestling tourist and a couple shares the secret to marriage
Speaker 3: on their seventieth anniversary.
Speaker 4: That's next, Welcome back.
Speaker 3: It is that time of the week where we sought
Speaker 3: the winners from the losers and helping me to do
Speaker 3: that is Lisa Goddard from a Doni Media. Lisa, thank
Speaker 3: you so much for you' only me good to see you.
Speaker 3: Now we'll just speaking about this and your winner this
Speaker 3: week is Prince Harry doing all the right things for
Speaker 3: a change.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 11: Look, I know you just described it as a pr
Speaker 11: trip and no doubt it was, but you would have
Speaker 11: to say it is a pr win.
Speaker 15: You know.
Speaker 11: He saw him out there playing the Royal pantomime part,
Speaker 11: the part that he was born to play, smiling, smiling
Speaker 11: for the crowds, receptions, saying all of the right things.
Speaker 11: When he was asked about his dad, he said he's great,
Speaker 11: and like last time where he said, well, I don't
Speaker 11: know how much longer he has got to go. So
Speaker 11: I think Prince Harry is very much out there trying
Speaker 11: to rebuild his image, and based on the four days
Speaker 11: that he's just spent in the UK, I think he's
Speaker 11: done an okay job. Interestingly, they're saying that he's been
Speaker 11: told that they won't be background in the media. The
Speaker 11: question will be whether his dear wife can keep her
Speaker 11: mouth shut and not pass on information and see a
Speaker 11: money opportunity in this.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's actually a really good point. I'm sure
Speaker 3: she will. I mean that she's out there in Montecido's probably,
Speaker 3: you know, conjuring up a plan, or maybe she's looking
Speaker 3: to sell it or mentioning on one her other shocking series.
Speaker 4: Now, look, I had to give my winner.
Speaker 3: This week to Adelaide lovebirds Robert and Vera Bird, who
Speaker 3: was celebrating their seventieth wedding anniversary. This is their platinum milestone,
Speaker 3: and they had some simple words of wedded wisdom. Have
Speaker 3: I listened?
Speaker 1: He forgives me if I do something wrong, and I forgether,
Speaker 1: have he does something wrong?
Speaker 10: We just just.
Speaker 15: Carried on, never go to bed with an argument.
Speaker 6: That's right.
Speaker 3: Live together and do things together.
Speaker 1: We've been together all the time, and we do everything together.
Speaker 3: I just think, Lisa, that is just so beautiful, the
Speaker 3: two of them holding hands talking about you know what
Speaker 3: the secret.
Speaker 4: To a successful marriage is?
Speaker 3: That you're about to get married to my co host
Speaker 3: James McPherson.
Speaker 4: Maybe do you take some inspiration from that?
Speaker 11: Well, Deniko, I think he's actually watching this. Help Hopefully
Speaker 11: he's listening to that. Never go to bed angry is
Speaker 11: the one piece of advice I've heard from the number
Speaker 11: of stories I've done with couples who have made it
Speaker 11: to these great milestones, they've all said exactly the same thing.
Speaker 11: But can I add to this, back when they were married,
Speaker 11: think about it, how much how much change they've seen
Speaker 11: in that time. But back then they were lucky if
Speaker 11: they had a TV when they started out, then it
Speaker 11: was the point of no, you get up and change
Speaker 11: a TV channel, not me. And then they've survived their
Speaker 11: argument about remote controls, so they clearly have some very
Speaker 11: good negotiating skills built in there as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah. All it takes, I feel like, is basic communication.
Speaker 3: I just thought what a beautiful couple are and it
Speaker 3: just makes me feel just so good. Now, your loser
Speaker 3: of the week is a croc wrestling tourist. Have a
Speaker 3: look at this.
Speaker 1: You got a good piece of my arm there.
Speaker 7: Look at that guy.
Speaker 2: This is what dreams are made of this.
Speaker 9: As a kid, I wanted to come to Australia and
Speaker 9: just look at crocodiles.
Speaker 1: Can me get my hand out and see him up clothes?
Speaker 3: Oh gee, how's that? Leysay? He's got it? Well, I
Speaker 3: looked at this.
Speaker 11: He calls himself the real Tazan and he's got more
Speaker 11: than fifteen million followers and that video alone has so
Speaker 11: at one point seven million likes. What it's caused quite
Speaker 11: astir You've got Peter arguing that.
Speaker 3: He's unfathomably stupid.
Speaker 11: You've got the premiere here in Queensland saying he's a
Speaker 11: goose and he's facing a fine of up to thirty
Speaker 11: seven thousand dollars, calls for him to be kicked out
Speaker 11: of the country, never allowed back.
Speaker 3: And what triggered my.
Speaker 11: Interest in this is remember back in March where we
Speaker 11: had the US influencer who picked up that baby wombat.
Speaker 11: Back then we had even the PM buying into this.
Speaker 11: So it'll be interesting it happened in the past week.
Speaker 11: It'll be interesting to see who else jumps on this bandwagon.
Speaker 11: But really it's quite disgraceful. Is in it only for
Speaker 11: the clicks?
Speaker 3: Oh that's right, I forgot about that wombat saga where
Speaker 3: you know the Prime Minister couldn't speak about anti Semitism,
Speaker 3: couldn't speak about it, the cost of living crisis, but
Speaker 3: the wombat was his number one topic of the day. Gosh,
Speaker 3: how can I forget?
Speaker 11: Look mate, give him another talking point?
Speaker 3: Well that's it. Yeah, Well, if he's not appearing on
Speaker 3: sex and dating podcasts as well, he's talking about wombats.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 3: Actually, my loser of the week, Lisa, is Anthony Alberizi,
Speaker 3: because look at this yesterday, He's gone to the Pacific
Speaker 3: Islands Forum. He's over in the Pacific at the moment,
Speaker 3: and he's rocked up in this bright pink Hawaiian shirt
Speaker 3: when he's meant to be in the navy shirt worn
Speaker 3: by the other members there. How embarrassing. I don't know
Speaker 3: how that's happened. So he basically he's had to leave
Speaker 3: the Pacific Islands conference, only to return sometime later. There
Speaker 3: he is in the actual correct item of clothing. How
Speaker 3: does something like this happen?
Speaker 11: Denika? Could you imagine being the media advisor in the background,
Speaker 11: and what happened once he scampered off to find the
Speaker 11: right shirt, Like seriously, the pink shirt, that's that's something
Speaker 11: you wouldn't even wear to a Barley cocktail party. So
Speaker 11: it was horrendous in itself, But he was meant to
Speaker 11: be there representing unity and he's stuck out like a
Speaker 11: sore thumb, like talk about the odd man out. So look,
Speaker 11: it was a massive we call it the wardrobe malfunction.
Speaker 11: We've seen it on TV networks. Don't dare turn up
Speaker 11: looking the same. You're a jacket gate. Not a good
Speaker 11: look for the PM.
Speaker 3: Not a good look. You're right. I mean, you just
Speaker 3: wouldn't wear that to a backyard barbie. You wouldn't wear
Speaker 3: it in general. I don't know how that happened. I
Speaker 3: don't know who's advising.
Speaker 4: It's the memo.
Speaker 3: Shocking, shocking. Lisa Godard, good to see you. Thank you
Speaker 3: so much for joining me on the show this week.
