WEBVTT - Sharri | 17 February 0:00:01.360 --> 0:00:05.360 Live on Sky News. This is Sharry. 0:00:07.560 --> 0:00:12.200 Good Evening tonight, our exclusive story exposing more doctors and 0:00:12.320 --> 0:00:15.520 healthcare workers who say they don't want to treat Jewish 0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:20.360 patients while others praise hummus. The Bangstown nurses video is 0:00:20.600 --> 0:00:24.599 just the beginning this prejudice in the healthcare system right 0:00:24.600 --> 0:00:28.760 across Sydney and Melbourne. I'll bring you that expose in 0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:33.320 a moment. Plus economists accuse Labor of pressuring the IBA 0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:37.280 ahead of its rates decision tomorrow. Judah Sloan says the 0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:41.640 Albanezy government has sailed very close to interfering in the 0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:46.120 independence of the Reserve Bank. This as Labor has manipulated 0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:48.800 a video of Peter Dutton to make it look like 0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:52.280 he wants to kill off Medicare, when in fact the 0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:57.080 full clip shows him saying the precise opposite, and rogue 0:00:57.120 --> 0:01:00.920 Senator Fatima Payman has come out swinging in defense of 0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:05.800 well you guessed it, the two sacked Sydney nurses. I'll 0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:11.759 talk about those offensive comments with Kelly Sloane later and 0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:14.640 stick around because that big expose is coming up in 0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:18.199 just a minute. But first tonight, the polls are reflecting 0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:22.720 how we're all feeling about Albansi that voters are sick 0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:27.040 of this weak prime minister after just one term. It's 0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:32.319 not that he's quintessentially a bad person. He's just an ineffective, 0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:36.640 insipid prime minister who hasn't shown leadership at a time 0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:41.360 our country desperately needs it. This is very personal to 0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:45.400 alban Ezi. News poll today shows that the majority of 0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:50.560 voters don't believe his government deserves to be re elected. 0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:54.760 His approval rating is at a record low of thirty 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:59.120 seven percent and his net negative approval rating is at 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:03.720 the lowest since he became leader, minus twenty one percent. 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:08.680 Labour's primary vote at an equal record low of thirty 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:13.720 one percent, while the coalition's primary at thirty eight. On 0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:16.919 a two party preferred basis, it's sitting at fifty one 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:22.280 to forty nine the coalition's way now. The OS reports 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:24.600 that this is still half the size of the swing 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:29.720 the coalition needs to win majority government and this means, 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:33.440 according to the polls, which aren't always right, that at 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:36.880 the moment, a hung parliament is the most likely outcome. 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:40.840 But don't forget the US election again. The polls are 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:45.360 predicting very close outcome between Trump and Kamala Harris, and 0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:49.560 it ended up being a landslide for Trump. In this case, 0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:54.720 the overall sentiment is clear. Fifty three percent of voters 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:57.400 said it was time for a change of government, and 0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:02.880 this includes in Queensland, Victoria and New South Wales. And 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:07.360 despite Labor trying to run their tired campaign claiming that 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:11.440 women don't like Peter Dutton will, the figures show that 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:14.840 there was little difference among gender lines on the question 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:18.760 of whether there should be a change of government. And 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:22.880 this is precisely why Albanezi is desperate for a rate 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:28.120 cut tomorrow. It's why labor MPs have been openly pressuring 0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:31.440 the RBA, despite the fact it's meant to be independent, 0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:35.680 and despite the fact many economists are worried that the 0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:39.600 RBA will cave into populous pressure in a way that 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:44.400 sets back the fight against inflation. Labor and ps, though 0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:48.320 showed none of that concern today, publicly mounting the case 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:51.120 for a cut ahead of tomorrow's meeting. 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:57.320 They've taughtened their budgets, They've made sacrifices and because of 0:03:57.360 --> 0:04:03.200 that we've got inflation down and that they deserve rate relief. 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:05.920 I want to cut gear and I want to cut. 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:08.320 My job is to stand up for my community, and 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:13.920 we need a cut, preach cheap, cheap, well we all would. 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.560 Well you know, any of us have got a mortgage'. 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:17.320 Like one, that's for sure. 0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:24.200 Many economists argue that while headline inflation is now within 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:28.120 the RBA's two to three percent target, this is, as 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:33.040 you know, because it's been artificially lowered by Labour's energy subsidies. 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:37.200 And the economists say this is only temporary, and headline 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:40.839 inflation is expected to rise back above target once the 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:47.960 subsidies stop. Underlying inflation still remains above three percent. Former 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:52.719 Treasury Assistant Secretary David Pearl wrote a sharp and quite 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:56.400 brilliant piece in The Australian Today where he argues that 0:04:56.480 --> 0:05:00.599 if the RBA cuts rates prematurely when they need to 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:05.239 be later corrected, then our inflation problem will be worse 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:10.120 and the credibility of the RBA in tatters. He writes, 0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:14.520 this ugly and sustained public pressure put Bullock in an 0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:19.000 extraordinarily difficult position. To use one of her favorite phrases, 0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:23.039 She's had to tread a narrow path, balancing loyalty to 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:27.200 her staff and policy principles on the one hand, and 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:29.919 the need to avoid a public split with the Treasurer 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:33.360 on the other. He says, at the RBA board meeting, 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:37.040 Bullock is likely to face her moment of truth. Will 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:40.599 she do the right thing for the Australian people or 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:46.640 adopt the line of least political resistance? And Warren Hogan, 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:49.119 who will be here on the show tomorrow night, after 0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:52.719 we know the outcome of the rates decision, well, he says, 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:56.960 the RBA definitely shouldn't cut rates. He says our economy 0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:59.840 isn't ready for it, and the case for it is. 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:04.800 I think the problem for the market is the market's 0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:07.560 perceiving a many economists that there is a political inference 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:11.000 here that the pressure's on. And when I said, I'm 0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:12.839 not saying that the government seeing they're telling the RBO 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:15.400 what to do, but we know there's a lot of 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:17.120 people in there telling them what to do, who. 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:17.800 Are ends of the garbment. 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:22.400 So this rate's decision will be a test for the 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:25.680 RBA and its independence. It will be a test for 0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:30.000 Michelle Bullock and her ability to withstand pressure from Jim 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:34.800 Chalmer's close friend, the Treasury Secretary, Stephen Kennedy. He has 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:37.600 a seat on the board and you imagine he'd be 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:41.440 mounting the case for a rate cut very strongly. Of 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:46.039 course a cut will be celebrated by families doing it tough, 0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:51.359 who haven't had mortgage relief since November twenty twenty. But 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:56.080 if the RBA doesn't withstand the political meddling and succumbs 0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:58.920 to the pressure, then the board has to be very 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:03.000 careful that it doesn't contribute to the inflation crisis. We've 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:09.800 all been battling, all right, reaction. Now let's bring in 0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:12.680 our political panel, former Chief of Staff to Bill Shott 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:16.480 and Cameron Milner and former pres Secretary for Scott Morrison 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:20.640 Andrew Caswell. Welcome to you both. Cameron, look the figures 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:24.440 in newspol today it says they point to a hung parliament. 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:26.840 But do you think that's where we're headed or do 0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:29.559 you think the polls will be wrong like they were 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:31.680 with Trump and Kamala Harris. 0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:35.720 Well, I think these numbers are devastating for labor because 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:37.800 this is the first term government that over half of 0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:41.240 Australia doesn't think deserves to be re elected. That's unheard off, Sharlie, 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:43.600 unheard off. But as you've been discussing with your viewers, 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:46.160 and we've been discussing on a weekly basis. This government 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:48.840 has been our slide for a long time. It's fundamentally 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:53.240 weakened its position through self indulgence and slackness and laziness 0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:57.520 and ultimately fundamental weakness. Fundamental weakness, and voters don't vote 0:07:57.520 --> 0:08:00.280 for week But come. That's the point before about the RBA. 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:02.920 I mean, it's a huge political decision for Michelle Bullock 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:04.880 to make tomorrow. Is this going to be the mates 0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:07.560 rates cut? Because that's the only thing that could possibly 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:09.960 come out of tomorrow If she bends the political will, 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:12.960 she's gifting gifting Albow a cheap win. 0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:17.600 And it's also not just about the political win, Andrew. 0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:20.400 It means that our inflation fight has the economists say, 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:23.200 could be set back, that they might have to go 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:26.760 back into a position where they have to raise rates 0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:27.720 further down the track. 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:29.840 Yeah. 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:32.840 Look, Cherry, there's so much that hinges on tomorrow's decision. 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:34.800 And I think two weeks ago you would have been 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:37.920 a clear cut certainty for a yes to the cut, 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:41.320 but there's so much uncertainty that's now build into the 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:44.679 global economy, particularly with Trump's tariffs. They may want to 0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:46.600 keep their powder dry, and that is a massive risk 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:50.160 for Anthony Albernezi, who has set his agenda based on 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:52.680 the fact that he is bringing down interest rates, that 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:55.160 he is bringing down inflation, and that is a massive 0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:57.960 risk for them. So I think this election contest is 0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:00.720 now up for grabs and if the Cut coalition are 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:04.360 that they are close enough, if they are good enough, 0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:06.439 and it may come down to that fact whether they 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:08.520 are good enough, whether they are good enough in a 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:11.600 political context, whether they are good enough in the fight 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:13.640 that will happen in the next couple of months as 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:15.959 we wind down to this election. Are they good enough? 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:18.760 We're about to see And I think, you know, Peter 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:23.200 Dutton has done an incredible job mounting the case that 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:26.319 his that if he wins government, it'd be better from 0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:29.680 a national security perspective. But Cameron, we probably need to 0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:32.599 hear more from him about cost of living because you 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:34.720 don't see Angus Taylor around very much. 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:38.640 Well, No, Angus is the weak link, isn't he. I mean, 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:40.200 he's the guy who you don't really want in front 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:43.560 of the microphone. Unfortunately, So Peter's got some got some 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:45.400 players and his team who aren't pulling their weight, and 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:47.719 Angus is certainly one of them. But coming back to 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:50.439 the point before, I mean Albany's only beat Scott Morrison. 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:52.440 I mean you know, I mean it was a pretty 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:55.120 pretty basic win and he only beat himy a couple 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:57.240 of seats. So Dunton's got to have confidence that in 0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:00.640 a real prize fight, Albo has played kind of you know, 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:04.360 the country country boxing match against the big heavyweight overweight 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:06.880 guy like it just beat him. You know, reality is 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:09.719 that Albo only jeats, just beat Scott Morrison. I think 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:11.920 he's in for a fight of his life against Peter Dubton. 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:15.880 I don't think Albert only just pete Scott Morrison. I 0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:18.400 mean it was a pretty bad loss for the coalition. 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:21.319 I mean, Andrew, you'd concede that they're down to fifty 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:21.920 eight seats. 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:27.040 Yeah, thanks for that hospital past there, Jarry looked. I 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:29.400 think this is a government that's that had been in 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:32.079 government for for nine years, so there is a natural 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:35.040 attrition when that when it comes to that, and it 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:36.720 was a government that had to fight its way through 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:40.760 COVID and he's only still barely getting the recognition that 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:44.480 it deserves for doing that. But I agree with Cameron 0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:46.880 and the point that this is a government that is 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:50.199 facing a potential wipe out if all things go to 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:51.560 plan from the coalition side. 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:53.680 After one term, after three years. 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:55.960 It hasn't happened exactly years. 0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:58.319 Yeah, I agree with you both. I think the polls 0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:01.800 aren't accurate and I think themim is clearly in Dutton's direction. 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:05.840 You know the sentiment that that newspert today show that 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:11.000 majority of people do not think Albanezi deserves a second term. 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:13.480 That is cemented he is seen as a week leader. 0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:16.440 Because he is a week leader, people can see who 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:19.320 he is and they usually get this right. Now, have 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:21.640 a look at this labour knows it's in trouble and 0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:25.080 so it's already playing, you know, some dirty tactics and 0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:28.760 it's been caught out. The Albanesi government manipulating an old 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:32.200 video of Peter Dutton from a twenty fourteen press conference 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:35.679 to make it looks like you want to kill off Medicare. 0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:37.600 Here's the ABC report. 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:40.640 Does Peter Dutton really want to get rid of Medicare? 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:43.160 That's what this video would have you believe. 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:44.480 We're very clear about this. 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:48.120 Medica is dead. They can't be for free. We have 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:51.000 to pay for a world class medical system. The thing 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:54.320 is his words have been taken completely out of context, 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:56.400 but we've found an original version. 0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:57.640 We're very clear about this. 0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:02.560 Medica is dead. We can't make it sustainable today. That 0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:07.319 last bit was pretty important, Cameron. 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:10.400 I seem to recall that Labor wanted to introduce laws 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:14.320 against misleading conduct and scare campaigns like this. 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:19.280 They did. But look, Labour's so desperate. I mean this 0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:22.240 smacks of desperation, that doesn't it. I mean, clipping and 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:25.160 mashing together some words from ten years ago. I mean, 0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:27.760 this is desperate, desperate politics from Labor. And if this 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:29.719 is the best they've got, we're in for a very 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:31.960 long campaign. I might add, though, that the people who 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:34.439 are advising Albo and his campaign were the same ones 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:38.280 who advised the Yes campaign. So maybe this is about 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:39.400 as good as they're going to get. 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:42.760 Yeah, and Andrew, it's actually not just this ad campaign, 0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:46.199 but I've heard Labor ministers on breakfast television in recent 0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:48.320 days saying the same thing that Darton wants to kill 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:50.280 off many care. I mean it's just false. 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:54.120 Well, it's a pattern of deception that we're seeing now. 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:56.600 And look, we shouldn't be surprised. I mean, this is 0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:59.880 the party that has pursued electoral victories on the back 0:12:59.880 --> 0:13:03.559 of liars, misinformation and character assassination. They've made an art 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:06.560 form out of it, so we shouldn't really be surprised here. 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:08.600 But on the flip side, if I was a play 0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:11.760 Devil's advocate, there is a door that's been opened by 0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:14.960 the Coalition in the way they talk about services. We 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:20.600 all want smaller governments, we all want less breadth in 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:24.560 government departments. But having that debate in public is a risk. 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:28.600 It does open up the Coalition to these types of attacks. 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:31.040 Now they don't need to go that far, they don't 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:34.040 need to employ deception. They just need to have that 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:38.240 natural debate with the Coalition on whether government should be 0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:39.079 bigger or smaller. 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:44.040 Well as speculation for a hung parliament is heating up, 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:48.160 there's a tension turning to which way the Tills would 0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:52.520 support if there was a hung parliament. Now. Interestingly, Alegraspender 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:54.920 came out on the weekend and said she's open to 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:56.800 working with Peter Dutton have a look. 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:01.000 I take things on the basis of the arguments and 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:03.880 on the basis of the evidence and I'm very open 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:07.000 to working with a coalition government, and I'm open to 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:09.160 working with the Labor government, but that depends on what 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:10.760 they're actually going to put on the table and the 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:14.360 seriousness frankly of what they're putting on the table as well. 0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:20.040 Cameron, isn't this Allegra trying to win support in her 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:23.880 electorate of Wentworth, which is increasingly turning to Peter Dutton. 0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:25.720 So she's trying to say, yep, it's fine to vote 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:27.840 for her. She might support Peter Dutton. 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:32.400 And obviously the cocktails with Albow and Tony Burke didn't 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:35.960 do much because there she is out supporting potentially Peter Dutton. 0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:38.880 But the reality is that Allegras must have seen the polling. 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:41.400 I mean, the Liberals are a strong chance of knocking 0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:43.800 her off in Wentworth, strong chances knocking her off. So 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:47.600 she's desperately, cravingly telling Chial voters that oh it's okay 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:50.480 because she's really a sly Dutton voter. No, I'm sorry, 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:53.720 if voters in Wentworth want Peter Dutton as Prime Minister, 0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:54.680 they should vote Liberal. 0:14:55.440 --> 0:15:00.440 Yeah, CARSI I think you know, Allegra might be open 0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:02.600 to supporting Darton, as she says, but you look at 0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:05.440 the other tials and I mean, you think there's no 0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:08.760 way they'd back Peter Duarton in a hung Parliament. 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:10.760 Yeah. 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:14.200 I think for Allegra this is part posturing but also 0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:17.880 part this is naturally where her politics do fit. I 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:23.440 think she has that ideology that more suits the moderate 0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:26.920 side of the Liberal Party. So I think I think 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:31.080 would naturally count very moderate, but certainly it would be 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:33.760 on that side of it, So she would. She would 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:35.760 also have been in the back of her mind what 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:38.400 happened to the last two turncoats that turned on their 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:43.920 Conservative electorates and put Julia Gillard in for another three years. 0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:48.160 They would toast when the electorate got their baseball bats 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:50.000 and taught them lesson. So I think that is in 0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:52.240 the back of their mind. The Jewish community would also 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:54.400 be in the back of their mind. Would Jewish Australians, 0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:57.560 many of whom live in that electorate, want Albernezi for 0:15:57.600 --> 0:16:00.040 another three years? I strongly doubt that. 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:02.480 Though, and I would say most of the Jewish community 0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:06.320 would be voting Liberal this election. Single issue voters, there's 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:11.320 nothing more important than the safety of your children and grandchildren. Now, 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:13.760 before we go, I want to ask you about this 0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:16.920 horrific story. Today, a Jewish business in Melbourne became the 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:21.440 latest target in this anti Semitism crisis. Andy Semite spray 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:25.120 painted the words gas the Jews and a swastika on 0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:28.880 this store in Melbourne. Remember they said, oh, the protesters 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:31.520 never said gas the Jews. They said, where's the Jews? 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:35.480 Well it's here in black and white. Now. What's so 0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:38.720 sad about this is that the founders of this company 0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:43.560 where it was spray painted were Holocaust survivors and their grandson, 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:47.440 j Huda Gottlieb told Sky News Digital Today that his 0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:51.160 grandparents actually escaped Europe and came to Australia looking for 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:53.760 a better life and to have those words written on 0:16:53.800 --> 0:16:56.640 their business, which is what they would have experienced in 0:16:56.680 --> 0:16:59.680 Europe more than eighty years ago, and why they fled 0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:03.320 Europe and why their families were persecuted. He says, it's 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:05.800 quite shocking in something they never would have thought that 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:11.159 experience in Australia. Cameron, this is Melbourne, Oh it is, 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:12.359 and it's just terrible. 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:15.000 And I grew up there and it's just awful, awful 0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:17.800 to see my old home city with such disgusting hate 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:21.680 disgusting hate Sharhi. But look it's happening on Albanese's watch. 0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:25.760 This hasn't happened before in Australia. It's happened because of 0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:29.440 Albanize's weakness and acquiescence, acquiescence on the issue of anti 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:33.920 Semitism driven by some of his highest profile ministers as well. 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:37.600 That's unfortunately the price we're paying as a community for 0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:38.320 his weakness. 0:17:38.800 --> 0:17:41.960 Indeed, all right, Cameron Milner Andrew Caswell, thank you both 0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:45.280 very much for your time. All right now to our 0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:50.159 big exclusive story. The Bangstown nurses video shocked us all 0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:53.399 but it turns out it's just the tip of the iceberg. 0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:57.920 We can tonight further expose a toxic and racist culture 0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:02.280 in the Australian health sector, with shocking cases of doctors 0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:07.240 praising her mus, saying Zionists should be destroyed, and one 0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:11.760 doctor even said she doesn't want to treat Jews and 0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:17.600 they're all still registered health professionals holding down jobs. Now, 0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:21.280 Jewish doctors claim prejudice against them is systemic in the 0:18:21.280 --> 0:18:24.760 health system, and more than two hundred and sixty wrote 0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:28.359 to Health Minister Mark Butler get this. On the twenty 0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:32.480 sixth of October twenty twenty three to raise the alarm, 0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:36.560 but nothing was done. Their letter to the Federal Minister 0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:40.560 asked him to instruct APRAA and the Australian Medical Council 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:46.359 to investigate specific instances of antisemitism, and this is what 0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:49.199 their later said. They said, it is entirely unacceptable for 0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:53.440 any medical professional to use their platform to spread discriminatory 0:18:53.520 --> 0:18:58.040 or hateful remarks, especially in a divisive manner, and they 0:18:58.080 --> 0:19:02.800 attached a dossier with the defenders. Now remember they wrote 0:19:02.880 --> 0:19:06.800 this two weeks after October seven, and they also asked 0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:10.719 Mark Butler to send a reminder to all medical professionals 0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:15.040 around the country that hate speech violates the core principles 0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:20.479 of healthcare. No action appears to have been taken, and 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:26.600 so the antisemitism has continued and Jewish patients were left vulnerable. Now. 0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:30.680 In one of the most abhorrent examples, doctor Mohammad Ghilan 0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:34.240 shared a post on social media saying and we'll show 0:19:34.280 --> 0:19:38.200 it to you now, live like Sinhwa or die trying. 0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:42.800 Another post of his shows the slain Hamas leader ya 0:19:42.920 --> 0:19:48.440 Ya Sinwa saying humiliation will never be for us. Yet 0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:53.520 another post says I am Harmas they are Hermas. We 0:19:53.600 --> 0:19:54.960 are all Hermas. 0:19:56.320 --> 0:19:56.480 Now. 0:19:56.520 --> 0:19:59.920 This doctor was working at the Alfred Hospital in Corfield, 0:20:00.200 --> 0:20:07.080 Melbourne until just three months ago. Three months ago Cawfield 0:20:07.080 --> 0:20:12.359 in Melbourne, very Jewish area. Now Alfred Health told me 0:20:12.520 --> 0:20:16.280 this evening and I'm quoting. Concerns about the doctor's online 0:20:16.320 --> 0:20:19.639 activity were raised with us in November last year. He 0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:23.199 was suspended from work and a workplace investigation into the 0:20:23.200 --> 0:20:28.640 allegations commenced. Doctor Gilian resigned from our health service while 0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:32.320 the investigation was still in progress, and the concerns raised 0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:35.960 with Alfred Health were reported to both OPRAH and Victoria 0:20:36.000 --> 0:20:40.080 Police at the time, so he wasn't even sacked, he 0:20:40.160 --> 0:20:45.760 resigned and he remains a registered medical practitioner. Then there's 0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:49.919 a doctor who's worked as a staff specialist at Bankstown Hospital. 0:20:50.680 --> 0:20:53.159 So let me repeat that again. This is a different 0:20:53.240 --> 0:20:57.840 doctor who's worked as a specialist at Bankstown Hospital and 0:20:57.920 --> 0:21:00.920 one of her social media posts says, I'm quoting now 0:21:01.640 --> 0:21:07.520 what does hamas mean in Arabic enthusiasm, fire, intense interest 0:21:07.720 --> 0:21:12.280 and heartiness. Now. She also shared a post written by 0:21:12.280 --> 0:21:17.160 someone else that says, don't give Zionists an inch. These 0:21:17.160 --> 0:21:22.560 are people manufacturing an antisemitism crisis to defend mass murder 0:21:22.720 --> 0:21:27.600 and settler colonialism. Stay Laser focused on ending the Holocaust 0:21:27.680 --> 0:21:33.040 in Palestine and dismantling the Zionist entity in its entirety. 0:21:33.880 --> 0:21:40.600 So posts shared by another specialist at Bankstown Hospital, another 0:21:40.640 --> 0:21:44.400 Western Sydney Local Health District junior medical officer. He wrote 0:21:44.440 --> 0:21:48.520 in a post that every Zionist young to old is 0:21:48.520 --> 0:21:54.040 a psychotic maniac. In another, he said anti Semitism is 0:21:54.160 --> 0:21:57.680 just a weaponized cop out to protect this criminal entity, 0:21:57.720 --> 0:22:02.080 which is Zionism and all it's and he also re 0:22:02.119 --> 0:22:05.080 shared a post that said Zionists need to be defeated, 0:22:05.600 --> 0:22:09.960 crushed and utterly removed from power. He wrote, and I'm quoting, 0:22:10.320 --> 0:22:13.199 there is no such thing as a good Zionist, a 0:22:13.320 --> 0:22:17.399 salvagible Zionist, any supporter of Israel is a rotten human. 0:22:17.880 --> 0:22:21.760 If nobody had any sympathy for the Nazis, nobody should 0:22:21.800 --> 0:22:26.679 have any sympathy for any of these people. A junior 0:22:26.720 --> 0:22:30.840 doctor working in Western Sydney. Now, one of the worst 0:22:30.880 --> 0:22:36.040 examples I've seen is of another Western Sydney doctor, and 0:22:36.080 --> 0:22:40.520 she wrote on Twitter, I've even become fearful when I 0:22:40.560 --> 0:22:44.520 see new patients with Jewish names book in with me, 0:22:46.680 --> 0:22:49.600 so she doesn't want to see new patients who are 0:22:49.680 --> 0:22:55.800 Jewish if she's become fearful of seeing Jews, of treating Jews. 0:22:55.880 --> 0:22:59.040 I mean, can you imagine how Jewish patients would feel 0:22:59.160 --> 0:23:02.600 ending up with her as a doctor. Not to mention 0:23:02.720 --> 0:23:06.600 Jewish colleagues and one long term New South Wales health 0:23:06.600 --> 0:23:11.480 employee she's worked in Bankstown. She told me she's experienced 0:23:11.600 --> 0:23:16.160 both explicit and implicit anti Semitism. She's chosen to remain 0:23:16.200 --> 0:23:18.520 anonymous and I wouldn't even if she wanted to give 0:23:18.520 --> 0:23:21.600 me her name, I wouldn't broadcast it to protect her career. 0:23:22.720 --> 0:23:26.080 In one instance, a manager, this is from this woman 0:23:26.119 --> 0:23:28.600 I spoke to today, she said. In one instance, a 0:23:28.680 --> 0:23:34.639 manager described someone as he's such an effing Jew. In 0:23:34.680 --> 0:23:37.840 another incident, a colleague said to her, there will be 0:23:37.920 --> 0:23:42.080 peace between Palestinians and Israelis when one side puts down 0:23:42.080 --> 0:23:46.080 their arms, and that side should be Israel. So he 0:23:46.200 --> 0:23:50.800 was implying that Israel should be wiped out. In fact, 0:23:50.840 --> 0:23:54.119 so prolific has the anti Zionist and anti Jewish movement 0:23:54.200 --> 0:23:57.639 been in the health sector that an Instagram account exposing 0:23:57.640 --> 0:24:01.440 it has now been set up. It's called not my doctor. 0:24:03.480 --> 0:24:03.640 Now. 0:24:03.680 --> 0:24:06.040
