WEBVTT - Paul Murray Live | 20 March 0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:05.120 From the Skying Center. This is Paul Murray Live. 0:00:06.600 --> 0:00:08.560 Had a gang come on into the band cave. We've 0:00:08.560 --> 0:00:10.319 got a lot to get through in the next hour. Now, 0:00:10.360 --> 0:00:12.440 Sunday night is the one for the hard cause. The 0:00:12.520 --> 0:00:15.280 true fans watch us live here on a Thursday night. 0:00:15.480 --> 0:00:17.560 Thank you for doing so. Remember highlights at sky News 0:00:17.600 --> 0:00:22.480 dot com dot Au. Now what do sun Corp Stadium 0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:29.360 in Brisbane, Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, the Adelaide Oval and 0:00:29.440 --> 0:00:33.559 the SCG all have in common? Well, according to the 0:00:33.600 --> 0:00:36.600 numbers that were released today, they all have just enough 0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:39.400 seats for the number of people who lost their job 0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:43.080 in the past month. Think about that, Sun Court, Marvel, 0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:50.080 Adelaide Oval, SCG in and around fifty thousand seats. Thirty 0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:53.480 five seven hundred people lost a full time job last 0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:58.440 month seventeen thousand lost a part time, giving us a 0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:02.600 total fifty two thousand, seven hundred. The capacity of all 0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:05.440 of those stadiums is close to that number. Some a 0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:06.640 little up, some a little down. 0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:08.240 Now. 0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:11.399 I don't know about you, but losing your job is 0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:15.560 one of the great fears of life. Obviously, we hope 0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:17.840 nothing happens to anyone that we know, let alone that 0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:21.039 we love, but certainly losing your job is something that 0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:22.920 a lot of people. Once you hit a certain age 0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:26.440 as well, you become frightened about because the bills always 0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:29.560 keep coming, and maybe you've made a series of decisions 0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:31.160 that mean you probably have to work a little longer 0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:35.040 than you ever planned on doing so. But think about 0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:38.200 that a football stadium of people who got the traumatic 0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:40.560 news that their job was over. 0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:42.959 Now today, some of the. 0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:46.000 Reaction to this is worth talking about because to me, 0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:50.720 it doesn't actually reflect the emotional toll on those people. 0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:56.360 To lose your job is traumatic. It is difficult yet 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:59.120 because it's all just numbers, and the numbers are being 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:02.880 interpreted by people whose either jobs are safe like a 0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:06.200 public servant or a politician, or they expect their jobs 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:09.480 to be safe in the private sector, talking about it either. 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:11.760 In the media or in the economic circles. 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:16.160 This is how it all played out tonight on some 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:19.200 of the television news is now. Remember the story is 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:21.960 not the unemployment rate. The story is not the participation rate. 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:24.320 The story is not how do we compare to other 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:28.880 countries around the world. The story is that fifty two 0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:32.840 thousand and seven hundred people lost their job in just 0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:36.800 one month. That's an awful lot of trauma. Here's how 0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:40.680 it played out. However, on the six pm news, The News. 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:43.360 Justin and the latest report card into Australia's jobs market 0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:46.440 has just been released. The unemployment rate remains steady of 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:50.000 February at four point one percent. That figure maintained by 0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:53.760 a fall in employment by fifty three thousand people. Unemployment 0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:57.679 rate has remained stable at four point one percent in February. 0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:02.200 Is very satisfying to see the unemployment rate remains stable. 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:05.040 The Australian Bureau of Statistics points to a fewer older 0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:07.680 workers returning to work over the past month. 0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:09.880 Big surprise in the sense that we did see a 0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:11.799 fall in employment. 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:17.560 Now again, it is always interesting, like if a factory 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:20.040 shuts down and it's going to be four hundred jobs, 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:24.160 then you often read that in the headline. You know, 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:28.440 factory closes or factory about to close, three hundred jobs 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:32.520 at risk. If a chocolate factory closes down, they send 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:35.240 out a reporter to talk to the people as their 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:35.800 jobs are. 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:37.280 Disappearing before their very eyes. 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:41.320 But how is it that there's just no emotion at 0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:46.760 all about a number this big I was listening on 0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:49.040 the ABC, But earlier today, I don't have the example 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:49.560 for you, Bob. 0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:50.960 It was this conversation. 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:52.960 About, well, look, you know, seasonally in January, lots of 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:55.560 people they go, they change their jobs. You know, some 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:57.960 of the casual jobs disappear. But that's not what happened. 0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:05.200 Thirty five thousand, one hundred full time workers holiday pay, superannuation, 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:11.440 regular guaranteed income or close to it, over fifty two 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:15.560 weeks of the year gone disappeared from the Australian economy. 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:18.400 Those aren't jobs are people who are hired in the 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:21.040 lead up to Christmas and increasingly the retail sector. 0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:23.680 Not a lot of those jobs are front facing. 0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:25.839 They're often about putting things in the little boxes and 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:29.600 setting them off because that's how people order things today online. 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:33.360 So how did the Treasurer deal with this? Now? 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:37.320 He knew instinctively that the media always gives the benefit 0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:40.120 of the doubt to a labor government. If this many 0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:43.560 people had lost their jobs in one whack in one month, 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:45.839 and maybe it wasn't a government that most of the 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:49.640 media liked, they would focus on the humanity. But because 0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:51.400 this is a government that they do like, and they 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:53.800 hope that this is just a thing they cover now 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:56.800 and the lead up to the giveaways coming on Tuesday. 0:04:57.480 --> 0:05:01.480 This is how the Treasurer spoke about it today. The 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:04.320 labor force number today. I know you were out of time, 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:05.960 but what does that say? 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:08.760 Are you worried about what that number suggested in terms 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:08.880 of it? 0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:09.760 Maybe a softening. 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:14.400 Oh, we are seeing a bit of a softening in 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:17.560 our labor market where we've still got incredibly low unemployment 0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:21.320 by historical standards, even with all the challenges in our economy, 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:25.479 domestic and global, we've had the lowest average unemployment under 0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:29.080 this government than any government of the last fifty years. 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:33.520 So I get it politicians want to quickly pivot out, 0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:37.360 but that is the reality of what took place today 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:40.440 that in the past month that many people all of 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:43.560 those different stadiums again from the seg to Suncorp Stadium, 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:46.520 Adelaide Oval, Marvel Stadium, which packed to the gills, are 0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:49.680 incredible places to be full of life, but when you 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:53.520 look at them empty, they are examples of the number 0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:56.480 of people who have families who have to deal with 0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:59.400 the trauma of losing jobs. None of that is the moment, 0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:06.119 of course, for celebration. But also we seem to lack 0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:10.479 compassion in often the way that we talk about these stories, 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:15.280 and I'm not entirely sure why now. Of course, there 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:18.320 are some parts of the media that will do a 0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:22.200 half day story on things like three million people being 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:26.920 this close to homelessness, but you know, it's generally only 0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:29.680 this program that'll talk about it with frequency or with 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:33.320 persistence or consider it to be a true test of 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:37.719 how badly things have gone under the current government. Again, 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:39.800 watch the way the media works in the next couple 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:42.920 of days and they'll lead up to the budget. Remember 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:44.800 what their reaction was to the two little too late 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:48.080 tax cuts. They took the annualized number and said the 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:51.360 average person will be oney six hundred dollars better off. 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:52.120 But of course you. 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:55.240 Don't pay your tax annually if you are the majority 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:57.160 of taxpayers in Australia, and that's pay as you go. 0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:02.440 You pay it weekly, fortnightly, or maybe your pay cycles monthly, 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:05.120 which is why the fourteen dollars a month figure for 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:07.720 those earning around forty thousand dollars was the focus and 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:10.560 why it was considered in my view, too little, too late. 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:16.840 Other stories around today here that again we've lost track 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:20.280 of where we are as a country if three million 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:25.239 people are this close to homelessness, and another report says 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:29.360 that younger generations believe you need three hundred thousand dollars 0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:31.440 a year that's the job that you need to be 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:34.360 able to buy a house. And even then it's not 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:36.840 the dream house, or even pay for the rent for 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:38.800 the place you really want to live in, not the one. 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:42.760 That you're currently living in. We've got a problem right. 0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:44.440 Now. 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:46.360 There are lots of solutions to all of this. The 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:49.280 Greens will have a left wing populist approach to it. 0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:51.880 One nation has a right wing populist approach to it. 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:55.040 But there's clearly a problem, a problem in the way 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:59.960 our society feels, and the great golf and distance between 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:02.480 and the numbers being spat out from a computer in camera, 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:05.240 spun by the politicians, discussed by the media, and the 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:09.360 reality of what is happening on the ground. And also 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:13.040 there seems to be a real move to try to 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:18.120 pretend that the great straw man of this campaign is 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:24.960 not the failures of the government, it's not the lack 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:26.200 of detail from the opposition. 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:27.760 But apparently this election. 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:31.520 Is supposedly some sort of faux referendum on Donald Trump 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:35.520 because the very same news services that failed to mention 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:39.080 the human cost of things desperately want to turn this 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:42.200 election into some sort of, as I say, proxy referendum 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:45.199 about Donald Trump. A story has been brewing for the 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:48.680 past couple of days that our government and opposition are 0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:51.960 getting all hairy chested because they will not negotiate and 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:55.640 will never give up on the pharmaceutical benefit scheme. Now, 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:59.120 of course, no one is threatening the pharmaceutical benefits scheme. 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:02.439 Some reporters who got in touch with the drug industry 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:04.800 in the United States, and the drug industry apparently has 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:08.480 a problem with it. But Australia is never changing Medicare 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:12.240 or never changing the pharmaceutical benefits scheme, both of which 0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:15.440 fully exist under the current free trade agreement with the 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:20.520 United States. And then again, another news service tonight has 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:23.000 been able to find a lobby group somewhere saying that 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:25.920 Australia should be punished for our attitudes when it comes 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:31.280 to banning kids from social media. How is a football 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:33.960 stadium of people losing their jobs in one month not 0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:37.840 enough of a story that you have to go and 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:41.520 kind of make up the stories about the big orange 0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:48.640 man who needs handsome boy Albow to stand up to him. 0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:52.120 Team First it was tariff's. Now the Pharmaceutical Benefit Scheme 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:55.120 could possibly come under attack from the Trump administration. 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:58.240 Yes, Tash, there's a lot of nervousness around what the 0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:01.240 US President will do on a for second, when we 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:05.120 expect another round of tariffs. The other worry for the 0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:09.280 government is a potential battle with US pharmaceutical giants who 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:13.000 are currently lobbying the US President to impose tariffs on 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:16.720 Australia to punish the government for making these medicines cheaper. 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:21.280 They have called Australia's PBS scheme egregious and discriminatory, and 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:26.679 they've urged Donald Trump to retaliate against Australia. 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:29.559 There have been millions of people that have suffered as 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:31.520 a result of this government being in charge for the 0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:32.319 past three years. 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:33.880 Take your pick. 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:38.000 Ten million people lost fifteen hundred dollars as a guaranteed 0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:43.920 tax return in the first Albanese budget. That fifteen hundred 0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:46.320 dollars that would have become three thousand dollars that would 0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:50.800 have become four and five hundred dollars the third time 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:53.520 around would have been a serious amount of money. That 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:55.120 meant people would have been able to do things like 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:56.920 payer for a credit card, maybe buy a new. 0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:58.680 Fridge, do something to get through the year. 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:03.079 Instead, No, that was all the way, and the money 0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:06.360 that had previously gone into that guarantee of fifteen hundred 0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:11.000 dollars for ten million workers has been spread about for 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:15.760 political benefit, particularly on things like student debt and other 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:19.920 little ideas which are about saving the Labour Party's backsite. 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:22.600 So until you are four and a half thousand dollars 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:25.840 better off, and that will not be coming in this budget, 0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:28.880 regardless of what they say that you are already behind 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:31.920 in terms of the decisions made by government, let alone 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:37.199 twelve interest rate rises, let alone the cost of living 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:40.679 increases which have been so relentless over the past three years. 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:42.720 And all of this, of course was from a government 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:46.640 that promised to make it better. So rather than deciding 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:49.360 whether you rehire the people who lied their way into power, 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:51.800 there are so many very powerful forces in our country 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:55.200 who want to distract you by thinking that rather than 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:58.040 voting for the Australian Prime minister who has done a 0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:00.480 poor job over the past three years, the chance to 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:05.120 vote against the American president, who the majority of Australians 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:10.080 do not support, I do. You may, but that's their 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:14.160 whole calculation, and I think it is probably going to work, 0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:17.040 which says a lot about the way that the people 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:19.640 who are paid to talk about our country care so 0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:22.880 little about the people actually in the country that are suffering, 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:28.200 who have been the people who have been punished by 0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:33.240 a government that promise to do better. Watch this space, 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:37.400 because apart from running against Orange Man bad or trying 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:40.400 to pretend that Peter Dutton is Donald Trump, and that'll 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:41.800 of course mean that he has to say I'm not 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:43.840 Donald Trump, and then the right wing will turn around 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:45.240 and say, well, if he's not Trump enough, I'm not 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:47.839 voting for him. And we basically get twenty twenty two 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:52.200 as opposed to twenty nineteen, where if you are on 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:54.280 the set of right, if you are on the conservative side, 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:56.000 if you are on the traditional side, if you are 0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:58.040 somebody who wants to punish this government, okay, you can 0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:00.480 vote minor party, but your number two preferent has to 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:04.160 be four the Libs of the that's because they're the 0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:06.360 party that are the only ones who can form government 0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:10.360 to take it off Anthony Obernezi. And if that doesn't work, 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:12.520 well then they just try to buy your Vonte, won't they. 0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:17.840 A seven point two billion dollar announcement today? Five million 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:22.000 dollars ten million dollars, two hundred million dollars, three billion dollars, 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:25.280 three hundred and fifty million dollar, two billion dollars, thirty 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:28.439 seven million dollars, eight hundred and forty two million dollar, 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:32.319 two point four billion dollars, eight point five billion dollar, 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:36.040 four point eight billion dollar, one billion dollars, three point 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:40.120 four billion dollars. The maximum amount they'll pay for a 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:44.520 PBS prescription is just twenty five dollars. 0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:47.480 Stiment charmers will stand up, as you know, on Tuesday. 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:51.520 Night and outline all of our revenue and our spending measures. 0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:53.920 He made another multi billion dollar announcement today, but he 0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:56.040 didn't use the number. It's almost like somebody in his 0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:59.360 office might be having the job of hate watching this program. 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:00.280 I don't worry. 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:02.760 He'll eventually get back to it again when he's all 0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:05.880 cocky and thinks that he's about to get his second term. 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:09.040 Pretty extraordinary, isn't it When a football stadium of people 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:11.040 lose their jobs with the prime minister who's already told 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:13.960 us that we're going into deficit, is spending that much money, 0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:17.920 fifty billion dollars and it's not even the end of 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:18.640 the third. 0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:20.720 Month of the year. Now. 0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:23.880 I often like coming up with a little tag moniker, 0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:27.160 a nickname if you will, for the greatest prime Minister 0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:29.760 of all time, and we all know that it could 0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:32.640 be things like Airbus albow or Were's elbow because he's 0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:33.480 flying all around. 0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:35.520 Well, then of course there was upgrade albow. 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:37.680 But the one that I'm kind of proud of because 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:40.880 I think it actually says an awful lop really quickly, 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:42.840 which is each way albow. I said it before it 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:45.240 became Prime minister. I stand by it right on today. 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:49.360 Says one thing, does another said one thing before an election, 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:53.760 does another thing after the election. And I know there 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:55.400 are some people in the camp of press gallery who 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:57.120 hate the term because they know that it sticks. But 0:14:57.200 --> 0:15:03.640 it sticks because it's perfect example. Remember this government got 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:09.440 all hairy chested banning TikTok from all government devices. You 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:12.640 can't log into a computer in Parliament House, you can't 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:17.520 use a taxpayer funded phone, or maybe just the phone 0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:19.120 while it's connected. 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:20.600 To the WiFi in your office. 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:23.920 And that were telling us this was very important because, 0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:27.440 among other things, TikTok is Chinese surveillance app. 0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:31.440 Is on government? 0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:34.520 Is it a risk too for the general population. 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:41.360 Look, this has been informed by security agencies advice on 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:43.960 work that's been done and provided to government. So that's 0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:48.440 the decision we've taken is around government issued devices. 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:52.120 But I say each way albo because while one decision 0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:54.480 is that when you're using the Wi Fi in Parliament house, 0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:57.080 you're not allowed to go on the TikTok, But as 0:15:57.120 --> 0:15:59.920 soon as you go outside then you can use tea 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:04.760 like many labor MPs do. Now presumably if they're being 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:07.040 super safe, they're doing it on a private phone. 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:08.280 But wouldn't that private. 0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:12.400 Phone at times be used on networks that are the 0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:14.000 very ones that TikTok is banned from. 0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:16.560 But nobody wants to police this because all these people, well, 0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:18.040 they want to be famous. 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:23.120 And Paul Bergala, who was an advisor to Bill Clinton 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:25.640 way back in the nineties, he referred to politics as 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:28.000 showbiz for ugly people. You may all have seen a 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:30.440 version of this one hundred times over, like Washington is 0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:34.120 Hollywood for the ugly, or even in the Turnbull Times. 0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:37.280 At one point he said modern politics is show business 0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:41.600 for ugly people. Now again I'm not passing judgment on 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:43.680 physical appearance, maybe more so sort of. 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:48.200 What's it there? Yeah, that's right. 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:52.440 And when it comes to the Prime Minister, he is, 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:54.960 of course somebody who has made a decision that in 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:59.080 the past three years, not only does every politician get 0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:01.640 a pay rise, public servant gets a pay rise and 0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:04.040 everyone who works for politician gets a pay rise. There's 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:07.600 actually extra people who now work for politicians and what's 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:08.960 the job that we pay them to do? 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:11.440 One hundred and fifty nine million dollars worth over four 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:12.679 years to give. 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:15.240 Every MP an extra member of star to cope with 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:19.159 the increasing workloads due to larger constituencies and the growing 0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:23.119 demands of social media. Yeah, there are people who basically 0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:27.160 work full time on showbiz for ugly people. And there's 0:17:27.160 --> 0:17:28.679 one thing for you to turn up on television. But 0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:32.840 when you can be your own social media influenza, you 0:17:32.880 --> 0:17:37.320 get to carry on like this. Here are some examples 0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:39.760 of people inside the Parliament who I've got to say 0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:44.520 would be better off auditioning to host play school than 0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:46.840 pretend to be somebody who sits around the cabinet table 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:51.880 making decisions for all Australians. One of them Anika Wells, 0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:55.280 the aged care and sports minister who loves a freebie. 0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:56.920 I feel the. 0:17:56.880 --> 0:17:59.760 Need, the need to explain our half a billion dollar 0:17:59.800 --> 0:18:03.000 in spending women's health through the lens of top gun. 0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:04.119 This one's for the lads. 0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:07.160 This is policy as pop culture, your pre election guide 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:07.960 to the big issues. 0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:11.960 These people are able to host their own shows because 0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:17.800 Peter Kierlil This is the bloke who, of course was 0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:20.680 carrying on pretending the bosses, who wanted to be able 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:23.760 to within small business, takes a big client to lunch 0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:25.720 and then write it off against their tax as sort 0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:30.160 of you know, monocle wearing top hat, owning cigar smokers 0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:31.160 his efforts. 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:34.280 I hope you plays hod the no Peter, this is 0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:35.760 the mapping social cohetor report. 0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:53.280 Okay, what about Julian Hill. 0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:57.119 This is a guy who's really down with it. 0:18:57.320 --> 0:19:01.399 Merry Christmas. He's a very special Christmas story. Tw was 0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:04.359 the night before Christmas went all through the house. Not 0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:09.760 a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. This is 0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:11.600 what they do, they say. 0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:14.920 It's important political communication, and it's important to reach people 0:19:14.920 --> 0:19:17.440 who wouldn't normally interact with no, no, no. 0:19:17.359 --> 0:19:19.280 This is about them. 0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:23.560 Making themselves sort of little local celebrities, or fingers crossed 0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:27.040 setting themselves up to be celebrities post politics. It's kind 0:19:27.040 --> 0:19:31.800 of weird, right you can't simultaneously be somebody who's carrying 0:19:31.840 --> 0:19:33.880 on like some of these people do on the internet. 0:19:33.880 --> 0:19:35.760 Oh but I'm also super serious and I can make 0:19:35.760 --> 0:19:39.320 all of the decisions. Pick a lane. Another example, I 0:19:39.320 --> 0:19:58.680 think this is a Greens MP. His name is Stephen Bates. 0:20:01.200 --> 0:20:05.840 What every MP got an extra staffer? The cost one 0:20:05.920 --> 0:20:11.200 hundred and fifty nine million dollars and most MPs use 0:20:11.320 --> 0:20:14.480 that one staff to make them look awesome on the internet. 0:20:15.359 --> 0:20:19.119 But the absolute roll gold champion of this sort of 0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:22.360 baby talk on the internet is the person who at 0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:27.080 one point was responsible for the Australian Border Force. 0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:30.400 Behold clueless Clara O'Neill. 0:20:31.800 --> 0:20:37.679 Is that footy legend Basha will We?

But the baby talk stuff again, 0:22:21.560 --> 0:22:24.200 the Prime Minister was confronted about this today. He has 0:22:24.560 --> 0:22:27.840 no interest because he must be cool with it. 0:22:29.280 --> 0:22:32.000 The ustrating Labor Party posted this on Instagram. 0:22:32.040 --> 0:22:33.320 We're just wondering your thoughts on it. 0:22:34.240 --> 0:22:36.240 There many things you don't mind it. 0:22:36.680 --> 0:22:40.760 I'm not going to look at a video, yeah, but 0:22:40.840 --> 0:22:42.680 you want lots of people to look at the video 0:22:44.440 --> 0:22:45.200 the video of. 0:22:45.080 --> 0:22:50.400 Somebody kind of faux stripping. But it's a Medicare card, now, 0:22:50.400 --> 0:22:53.880 I get it. Shows like this mightn't be the way 0:22:53.920 --> 0:22:55.920 that you'd like to get you news. Maybe you like 0:22:56.040 --> 0:22:58.159 things that are cut up in super short stuff and 0:22:58.200 --> 0:23:00.960 it's on the cool fine, right, And I don't mind 0:23:00.960 --> 0:23:03.119 the people who want to be the independent media or 0:23:03.200 --> 0:23:05.440 the social influencers who want to get the word out. 0:23:05.520 --> 0:23:10.080 But when it's the politicians who firstly are paid hundreds 0:23:10.119 --> 0:23:12.560 of thousands of dollars and depending if you're a minister, 0:23:12.880 --> 0:23:15.680 able to go to lots of stuff for free, who 0:23:15.720 --> 0:23:19.879 have staff members who are paid for by the taxpayer 0:23:19.960 --> 0:23:24.000 to exclusively make you look awesome, there's something kind of 0:23:24.000 --> 0:23:28.119 weird about it, right. I look forward to the endless 0:23:28.160 --> 0:23:30.080 trolling that will now happen on the internet. The any 0:23:30.160 --> 0:23:37.359 problem is I won't see. 0:23:32.080 --> 0:23:37.120 It now on this show. 0:23:37.160 --> 0:23:39.240 I have made many a time, many a point that 0:23:39.359 --> 0:23:42.560 sixty three percent of a bottle of Bundy rum is taxation. 0:23:43.000 --> 0:23:45.960 I talk about these so called vice taxes otherwise known 0:23:46.000 --> 0:23:48.080 as excise. 0:23:48.480 --> 0:23:49.800 This is the laziest way. 0:23:49.600 --> 0:23:52.239 That governments of all persuasions have made money for a 0:23:52.400 --> 0:23:56.240 very long period of time. Smokes, petrol and all the 0:23:56.240 --> 0:23:58.960 rest of it. And this government we know, despite the 0:23:59.000 --> 0:24:00.679 fact that they are totally focus on everything to do 0:24:00.680 --> 0:24:02.960 with cost of living, apart from taking fifteen hundred dollars 0:24:03.000 --> 0:24:05.440 off ten million people at once that, by the way, 0:24:05.520 --> 0:24:07.119 by now would have paid out four and a half 0:24:07.400 --> 0:24:10.399 thousand dollars to ten million workers. 0:24:10.400 --> 0:24:11.600 But don't talk about that. 0:24:12.040 --> 0:24:13.639 They want a gold star because they're not going to 0:24:13.640 --> 0:24:16.320 put up beer taxes for the next couple of years. Well, 0:24:16.359 --> 0:24:18.400 this is after of course, they have put up beer 0:24:18.440 --> 0:24:21.639 taxes and cigarette taxes and petrol taxes for the past 0:24:21.880 --> 0:24:25.879 three years, so much so that as you can see 0:24:26.000 --> 0:24:28.320 what they tax the little gray thing in the middle 0:24:28.400 --> 0:24:30.240 is what they plan to make out of it this year, 0:24:30.400 --> 0:24:32.679 and then the ones to the right of that are 0:24:32.720 --> 0:24:34.399 what they do next year, the year after that, the 0:24:34.440 --> 0:24:35.000 year after that. 0:24:35.400 --> 0:24:39.399 As you can see, this is the total. 0:24:39.160 --> 0:24:41.800 Way that they were able to get their million nine 0:24:41.840 --> 0:24:44.360 billion dollar budget surplus last year. It came out of 0:24:45.200 --> 0:24:49.040 those taxes, not great economic management. It was about smacking 0:24:49.359 --> 0:24:53.720 those people who use those things, and I must say 0:24:53.680 --> 0:24:55.840 I'm a little chuffed every now and then when other 0:24:55.880 --> 0:24:57.960 people decide to meet us where we have been for 0:24:58.000 --> 0:25:02.080 the past three years. I am every budget night for 0:25:02.119 --> 0:25:06.240 the past fifteen years. But props to the Herald forgetting there, 0:25:07.200 --> 0:25:09.360 whether you're sinking a beer at the pub, filling your 0:25:09.400 --> 0:25:12.040 car with fuel, or buying a flashy new set of wheels, 0:25:12.040 --> 0:25:15.040 a handful of taxes, widening the hole in your hip 0:25:15.040 --> 0:25:18.680 pocket and helping to bolster a budget that Treasurer Jim 0:25:18.760 --> 0:25:24.240 Chalmers will hand down on Tuesday. All right, let's take 0:25:24.240 --> 0:25:25.800 a quick break, we'll get into the debate. We'll find 0:25:25.800 --> 0:25:27.399 out who is going to be the winner or loser 0:25:27.480 --> 0:25:28.840 of the week. Or you need to do is send 0:25:28.840 --> 0:25:30.639 me an email to Paul. Let's go ONews dot com 0:25:30.680 --> 0:25:31.960 dot au. 0:25:32.240 --> 0:25:34.960 And do whatever you want on TikTok. Don't care. 0:25:40.520 --> 0:25:42.199 Now if you have been a committed view to this 0:25:42.240 --> 0:25:44.160 program over the past fifteen years, I've got a present 0:25:44.160 --> 0:25:49.080 for you tonight. Christy McSweeney and Darren Barnett together. As 0:25:49.160 --> 0:25:52.520 Darren said as he sat down, the last time he 0:25:52.600 --> 0:25:56.840 was here was when Trump was president. The first loving 0:25:56.920 --> 0:25:57.439 to see you. 0:25:57.600 --> 0:25:59.400 It's been too long. That's all my fault. 0:25:59.480 --> 0:26:02.240 All right, Let's talk now about something that I wanted 0:26:02.240 --> 0:26:06.240 to ask you both about this upcoming election. Who has 0:26:06.320 --> 0:26:09.960 the most Who has the highest wire act next week? 0:26:10.240 --> 0:26:11.800 Jim Charmers or Peter Dutton. 0:26:12.000 --> 0:26:14.600 Now, Jim Chalmers obviously needs to hand things out while 0:26:14.640 --> 0:26:16.520 simultaneously putting it on the credit card. 0:26:16.920 --> 0:26:17.879 Peter Dutton a couple of. 0:26:17.920 --> 0:26:20.320 Days later well has an opportunity to put a big 0:26:20.440 --> 0:26:23.479 idea that may well either seal the deal or reset 0:26:23.520 --> 0:26:25.640 the conversation, depending on where you think the polls are 0:26:25.880 --> 0:26:29.680 right now. So, Christy, who has more riding on next week? 0:26:29.880 --> 0:26:31.120 Dutton or Charmers? 0:26:33.240 --> 0:26:35.760 I think it's lineball for both of them, Paul, It 0:26:35.800 --> 0:26:39.280 could go either way. There's advantages and disadvantages for either. 0:26:39.720 --> 0:26:43.760 Certainly the Government's major advantage is that it gets to 0:26:43.800 --> 0:26:48.000 be the Jim Chalmers show instead of the Elbow Show. 0:26:48.720 --> 0:26:51.480 They get to have an excuse to hide the Prime 0:26:51.520 --> 0:26:56.359 Minister for some time and see their best performer and 0:26:56.480 --> 0:27:00.840 somebody who does resonate with that middleist. Only that thirty 0:27:00.880 --> 0:27:04.440 percent of the vote that both the major parties are 0:27:04.520 --> 0:27:08.480 fighting to get to that gives them an excuse to 0:27:08.520 --> 0:27:11.680 do that they don't have to worry about the press 0:27:12.000 --> 0:27:14.679 asking why is the Treasurer out front and not the 0:27:14.680 --> 0:27:17.760 Prime Minister, because we all know the treasurer polls a 0:27:17.840 --> 0:27:21.160 lot better. He of course has to announce a budget 0:27:21.240 --> 0:27:24.919 in deficit after going for the last three months with 0:27:25.080 --> 0:27:28.000 the phrase where the only government in the last two 0:27:28.040 --> 0:27:32.800 decades it's released two surpluses, so that narrative didn't work. 0:27:33.119 --> 0:27:34.919 They've had to bring a budget and it's going to 0:27:34.960 --> 0:27:39.440 be in deficit. For Dutton's disadvantage, he has to put 0:27:39.440 --> 0:27:43.600 together a budget in reply, which he wasn't anticipating to do. 0:27:43.880 --> 0:27:47.439 So that needs to be hefty and it needs to 0:27:47.480 --> 0:27:52.480 have some content and some substance to it. So advantages 0:27:52.560 --> 0:27:57.280 and disadvantages to both parties in a budget that nobody 0:27:57.320 --> 0:27:58.400 thought that we would have. 0:27:59.240 --> 0:28:02.199 Well this is because of course the cyclone, which is 0:28:02.200 --> 0:28:04.520 going to affect the budget for one point too. If 0:28:04.560 --> 0:28:08.199 anyone believes that seriously, Southeast Queensland was yes, I was 0:28:08.240 --> 0:28:10.480 there right, I was there shut down for three days, 0:28:10.480 --> 0:28:12.639 but people didn't lose their job as a resultant, But 0:28:12.880 --> 0:28:15.760 everyone who works for the federal government still got paid 0:28:16.080 --> 0:28:18.800 through that time. And New South Wales farmers are saying 0:28:18.840 --> 0:28:21.320 that there's seventeen million dollars worth a damage to northern 0:28:21.320 --> 0:28:21.880 New South Wales. 0:28:22.119 --> 0:28:23.720 So anyone who thinks, oh, you. 0:28:23.680 --> 0:28:25.920 Know, because the planes didn't take off for two days, 0:28:26.160 --> 0:28:28.480 the budget's in death police, we all know. 0:28:28.720 --> 0:28:31.240 But that is more flooded again though Paul, well, it did, 0:28:31.240 --> 0:28:34.560 but not to the same extent. I think they're kind 0:28:34.560 --> 0:28:35.400 of getting used to it. 0:28:35.720 --> 0:28:37.560 Yeah, sadly, its. 0:28:37.400 --> 0:28:40.960 Sadly, it's terrible, but look, I think the gym show 0:28:41.040 --> 0:28:43.000 is a good thing for labor, no two ways about that. 0:28:43.280 --> 0:28:46.120 He'll have to offer some cost of living relief. So 0:28:46.120 --> 0:28:48.680 it's going to be a goodies budget. It's going to 0:28:48.720 --> 0:28:51.680 be one where everyone gets a prized There'll be an 0:28:51.800 --> 0:28:56.360 energy rebate, There'll be payments for various bits and pieces. 0:28:56.640 --> 0:28:59.360 They're probably going to do a big ticket item on childcare. 0:28:59.400 --> 0:29:01.280 Do they do that then or do they save it 0:29:01.480 --> 0:29:05.200 for the campaign? Who knows. But I do think there 0:29:05.280 --> 0:29:10.080 is some pressure on the opposition. I'm not troubled by 0:29:10.120 --> 0:29:13.080 this narrative that they haven't got their economic policies out there. 0:29:13.240 --> 0:29:16.160 No one's really listening yet. But I think the game 0:29:16.280 --> 0:29:19.800 starts next Tuesday, and the first big question will be 0:29:20.200 --> 0:29:23.080 do they back in the rebates on energy and other 0:29:23.160 --> 0:29:27.320 things or not, and that sets the frame for the 0:29:27.480 --> 0:29:29.760 entire election because labor, if they don't back it in, 0:29:30.240 --> 0:29:32.720 look they say, oh, that might be inflation. But that's 0:29:32.720 --> 0:29:34.800 like Beasley when he opposed Howard's tax. 0:29:34.880 --> 0:29:35.040 Come. 0:29:35.600 --> 0:29:37.520 You know, I'd stand between a voter and a bucket 0:29:37.520 --> 0:29:38.240 of money. 0:29:38.320 --> 0:29:40.400 I mean, they've both got the ability to lay a trap. 0:29:40.480 --> 0:29:43.280 But that's that thing where look, institutional advantages to the 0:29:43.320 --> 0:29:46.240 government because you've got all that preview and all that sale. 0:29:46.560 --> 0:29:48.920 But then there's an opportunity that is there for the 0:29:48.920 --> 0:29:51.320 opposition because they're the last ones to put the trap 0:29:51.360 --> 0:29:54.880 down for again, how the government responds to it. It 0:29:54.920 --> 0:29:56.960 all depends about whether we go off to an election 0:29:57.360 --> 0:29:59.920 and the immediate week after or whether it's a cup 0:30:00.240 --> 0:30:02.520 weeks after. But something that I think is very different 0:30:02.560 --> 0:30:04.280 than all of the elections we've talked about over all 0:30:04.320 --> 0:30:07.280 the years, on all of the versions of backgrounds that 0:30:07.320 --> 0:30:08.320 we've done this show on. 0:30:08.560 --> 0:30:12.160 Which is half of all people vote early. 0:30:12.240 --> 0:30:15.200 Now, so to me, I think you have to make 0:30:15.240 --> 0:30:18.440 the assumption that the last day of the campaign is 0:30:18.480 --> 0:30:22.400 the first day of early voting, and then the entire 0:30:22.440 --> 0:30:24.960 early voting period is just hammering home the points that 0:30:25.000 --> 0:30:27.640 have already been made, not saving something for the Friday 0:30:27.720 --> 0:30:31.560 before the next Saturday, because people are making that decision 0:30:31.720 --> 0:30:34.240 nice and early. And what will be interesting is that 0:30:34.280 --> 0:30:36.880 I think that, yes, the expectations game is going to be. 0:30:36.920 --> 0:30:39.560 Particularly high in and around Dutton. But look at what 0:30:39.640 --> 0:30:41.960 he did do out of his. 0:30:42.200 --> 0:30:45.920 Two most recent versions of this speech. Nuclear energy was 0:30:45.920 --> 0:30:49.479 confirmed in the first, and cuts in immigration and foreign 0:30:49.520 --> 0:30:53.640 home buyers foreigners being able to buy homes, the ban 0:30:53.760 --> 0:30:55.720 on that for a couple of years that tests seventy 0:30:55.760 --> 0:31:02.080 three percent with marginal seat voters. Don't be surprised if 0:31:02.120 --> 0:31:04.200 I think the biggest idea they have on the table 0:31:04.360 --> 0:31:06.360 could be coming on Thursday. We of course have the 0:31:06.360 --> 0:31:08.760 pub test the following Monday, March of thirty. 0:31:08.760 --> 0:31:08.960 First. 0:31:08.960 --> 0:31:10.440 We've got a full house, and thank you to everyone 0:31:10.520 --> 0:31:12.640 who's already reached out to us where you'll be able 0:31:12.680 --> 0:31:15.080 to ask Peter Dutton whatever questions and I'll be live 0:31:15.160 --> 0:31:19.520 here Monday week here on Sky News. Now I want 0:31:19.560 --> 0:31:22.320 to talk about the trump of it all because it 0:31:22.400 --> 0:31:24.720 feels to me that there would be certain people in 0:31:24.800 --> 0:31:27.240 certain sections of the Labor Party who if they hold 0:31:27.280 --> 0:31:30.680 on to government majority or minority. We'll say we always 0:31:30.680 --> 0:31:33.520 had it in hand, guys, four D chess. We always 0:31:33.640 --> 0:31:36.600 knew that if Trump would get up, then we would 0:31:36.600 --> 0:31:39.160 do this and we would do that, because I think 0:31:39.160 --> 0:31:40.960 that the Trump of it all is going to be 0:31:41.320 --> 0:31:45.360 a big shadow and an echo over this election. And 0:31:45.800 --> 0:31:48.160 just like national security has worked for previous governments at 0:31:48.160 --> 0:31:52.640 previous times, I think a multiple week conversation about insert 0:31:52.760 --> 0:31:54.960 thing that they may or may not put a tariff on, 0:31:55.280 --> 0:31:57.440 even if you haven't heard a word from the White 0:31:57.440 --> 0:31:59.560 House about it. And we've had two of these now 0:31:59.600 --> 0:32:05.920 in a week, about PBS and also about social media 0:32:06.040 --> 0:32:08.160 in big tech. The White House hasn't said a word, 0:32:08.680 --> 0:32:11.560 but you get six pet news coverage for an imagined 0:32:11.680 --> 0:32:14.440 threat that the White House has not talked about. That's 0:32:14.520 --> 0:32:18.280 exactly where Anthony Albanezi wants to be, isn't it, though, Darren? 0:32:18.440 --> 0:32:19.600 Where he wants to be. 0:32:20.120 --> 0:32:23.160 Standing up for Australia and pushing back against a leader 0:32:23.200 --> 0:32:25.479 that I like that most of our audience is all 0:32:25.520 --> 0:32:28.120 in on. But the reality is in polling sixty percent 0:32:28.160 --> 0:32:29.880 of Australians don't like what he's doing. 0:32:30.200 --> 0:32:32.880 Well, certainly, if you look at the Canadian government, they 0:32:32.920 --> 0:32:37.120 were cruising to an absolute shell lacking and they're now 0:32:37.120 --> 0:32:39.560 back in front. Yes, I realized they share a long 0:32:39.600 --> 0:32:42.880 border with Trump, but that narrative that you described, you 0:32:42.920 --> 0:32:44.880 can roll that out a couple of times a week 0:32:44.880 --> 0:32:48.120 through the campaign and then you let Peter Dutton run 0:32:48.160 --> 0:32:51.560 the argument of are you TMU Trump or not? And 0:32:51.640 --> 0:32:56.080 that's unfair, but politics isn't fair. So if that's the 0:32:56.120 --> 0:32:59.280 story that gets resonance, and it probably will, he will 0:32:59.280 --> 0:33:02.120 be stuck to ending when the government will be putting 0:33:02.240 --> 0:33:06.080 little fires out that need to be put out by somebody. 0:33:05.680 --> 0:33:08.240 Well, and so christy to that point right obviously, I 0:33:08.240 --> 0:33:10.120 mean the pet Duddon's made it very clear long form 0:33:10.120 --> 0:33:12.640 interviews press conference as I ain't Trump, I am Trump. 0:33:12.880 --> 0:33:15.120 But that is going to happen, mark my words here. 0:33:15.640 --> 0:33:17.960 That's going to have a thing on the right right 0:33:18.000 --> 0:33:18.640 of Australia. 0:33:18.720 --> 0:33:18.800 Right. 0:33:18.880 --> 0:33:20.440 I'm not going to say the far right, because that's 0:33:20.440 --> 0:33:22.120 where we start to give new extremism. But there are 0:33:22.120 --> 0:33:23.920 people who are all in on Trump who were going 0:33:23.960 --> 0:33:26.360 to say, well, if he's not trumpy enough, then I'm 0:33:26.400 --> 0:33:28.800 not for him. And then we end up at a scenario 0:33:28.880 --> 0:33:32.960 where who knows where preferences go, and remember nine percent 0:33:33.600 --> 0:33:37.280 is currently the polling number for one nation. Nine percent, 0:33:37.760 --> 0:33:40.560 so traditionally fifty to fifty when it comes to preferences. 0:33:40.560 --> 0:33:43.920 Twenty nineteen it was basically seventy five percent of preferences 0:33:43.960 --> 0:33:46.080 that went to the Libs. If you've got seventy five 0:33:46.080 --> 0:33:49.080 percent of nine percent that's out there, that's what makes 0:33:49.120 --> 0:33:52.680 them competitive. So any free advice to the Libs about 0:33:52.720 --> 0:33:55.680 how to deal with the Trump trap. 0:33:58.560 --> 0:34:02.440 I think dun and I've said previously on the network 0:34:02.480 --> 0:34:04.840 that I don't think he's put a foot wrong. Labor 0:34:04.920 --> 0:34:07.120 knows he hasn't put a foot wrong in falling into 0:34:07.160 --> 0:34:09.240 that trap. They are trying to bait him. The Greens 0:34:09.239 --> 0:34:12.440 are trying to bait him as well. However, they are 0:34:12.520 --> 0:34:18.400 stepping up their attacks. The PBS confection argument, as you 0:34:18.480 --> 0:34:22.799 have pointed out, gives Labor an opportunity to put the 0:34:22.840 --> 0:34:25.759 words Trump and Medicare and Peter Dutton all in the 0:34:25.800 --> 0:34:30.399 same sentence. That's exactly where Labor wants to be. That 0:34:30.560 --> 0:34:35.799 is them escalating their bait. And so I think Peter 0:34:35.880 --> 0:34:40.080 Dutton's been very deft. I think he has played a 0:34:40.280 --> 0:34:43.200 very very fine line. But at the same time. Look, 0:34:43.719 --> 0:34:47.520 there's no doubt the coalition knows that nine percent one 0:34:47.600 --> 0:34:51.279 nation and actually Paul, on some polls one nation is 0:34:51.320 --> 0:34:56.360 tracking at thirteen percent, particularly in states that you wouldn't expect, 0:34:56.400 --> 0:35:01.120 states like South Australia. This is not an isolated Queensland 0:35:02.920 --> 0:35:06.960 poll tracking for one nation. Palmer also achieved five percent 0:35:07.080 --> 0:35:11.640 at the last election in Queensland, somewhat less in other states, 0:35:11.719 --> 0:35:15.640 but that is part of that. Those people who vote 0:35:15.680 --> 0:35:20.719 for that Trump like narrative, particularly more so Palmer, I think, 0:35:20.760 --> 0:35:25.640 than one nation, but certainly grabbing votes from the coalition, 0:35:25.920 --> 0:35:28.680 and it's going to be really, really tough. I think 0:35:28.719 --> 0:35:31.560 this election is a preference lottery, as you have so 0:35:31.760 --> 0:35:32.759 rightly described. 0:35:32.880 --> 0:35:33.600 That's the thing I mean. 0:35:33.920 --> 0:35:37.200 I say those one nation polling numbers and awareness about 0:35:37.239 --> 0:35:39.360 preference is not about assumptions about preferences. 0:35:39.600 --> 0:35:40.960 That's the understanding of the election. 0:35:41.160 --> 0:35:43.120 I think it'll be fascinating to see what happens in 0:35:43.160 --> 0:35:47.640 the sixth Senate spot. In most states, Yes, it's now 0:35:47.840 --> 0:35:51.960 in play for someone who displaces some of that coalition vote. 0:35:52.080 --> 0:35:54.480 They're not going to get three. In Queensland, it'll be 0:35:54.719 --> 0:35:57.440 a re elected Paul end Hanson or I think it's 0:35:57.440 --> 0:36:01.080 Malcolm Robbins at this time then or with the South 0:36:01.120 --> 0:36:04.640 Australia always kicks up someone unusual. Ralph Babbott made it 0:36:04.760 --> 0:36:07.720 last time in Victoria. I think that sixth Senate spot 0:36:07.800 --> 0:36:12.000 across the board, because it tends to go right rather 0:36:12.080 --> 0:36:15.320 than left, that sixth spot, that's what's going to be fascinating. 0:36:15.440 --> 0:36:19.120 Well also, I mean you know Lamby's running people everywhere, 0:36:19.520 --> 0:36:22.520 but also worth noting here too, And I'm not going 0:36:22.560 --> 0:36:24.480 to get full to the level of prediction that I 0:36:24.480 --> 0:36:27.320 can be held accountable for, but I have a little 0:36:27.360 --> 0:36:32.080 feeling looking at the state based results, legalized cannabis is 0:36:32.120 --> 0:36:33.719 going to go knocking on a door somewhere at four 0:36:33.760 --> 0:36:36.719 a Senate spot because of eventually the preferences that will 0:36:36.800 --> 0:36:39.360 wash from Labor to the Greens or Greens to Labor, 0:36:39.560 --> 0:36:42.600 and then where that ends up. Because I think there's 0:36:42.600 --> 0:36:45.040 a bunch of people on the left of Australian politics 0:36:45.040 --> 0:36:47.759 who don't want the craziness of the Greens, but they 0:36:47.880 --> 0:36:51.080 believe not just in the issue about legalizing cannabis, which 0:36:51.120 --> 0:36:56.080 has got two people elected in Victoria, got one person 0:36:56.120 --> 0:36:59.279 elected in New South Wales. I don't know finally what 0:36:59.280 --> 0:37:01.600 happened when it came to Western Australia, but they had 0:37:01.680 --> 0:37:04.560 two people in their Upper House until the most recent election, 0:37:04.680 --> 0:37:06.439 so that's one of those little ones. 0:37:06.480 --> 0:37:08.399 So I will ask the same question of both of. 0:37:08.360 --> 0:37:10.759 You that I just had have mentioned before again, I 0:37:10.760 --> 0:37:13.359 love this little Thursday group. May it continue for as 0:37:13.400 --> 0:37:15.839 long as you wish, which is, what's the one thing 0:37:15.880 --> 0:37:18.520 that nobody else has noticed? And I don't mean because 0:37:18.520 --> 0:37:20.720 we're all smarty pants, but because there's only so many 0:37:21.120 --> 0:37:23.719 minutes in a day, so many news bulletins around, a 0:37:23.760 --> 0:37:28.000 little trend, a little policy area, a little campaign thing. 0:37:28.360 --> 0:37:31.480 What's something that you just like everyone to pay attention to? 0:37:31.600 --> 0:37:39.040 Christy for me, Victoria thirteen states four to hold under 0:37:39.080 --> 0:37:43.000 four percent, five to regain that the coalition has lost 0:37:43.200 --> 0:37:48.239 under four percent, and four to acquire from libor. Now 0:37:48.320 --> 0:37:52.439 they're all under eight percent. But that's it. Victoria has 0:37:52.480 --> 0:37:55.759 never had so much focus in a federal election. I 0:37:55.880 --> 0:37:59.239 will say, you haven't seen a Labor Party machine until 0:37:59.239 --> 0:38:02.680 you've seen a Victim Vitorian Labor Party machine. And Darren 0:38:02.680 --> 0:38:04.120 will back me up here. 0:38:04.000 --> 0:38:05.600 So you've already got the red shirt on. 0:38:07.960 --> 0:38:14.600 I know, right, I know it's battle ground it's battleground Central. 0:38:14.680 --> 0:38:17.360 It's got the most skin in the game for this election, 0:38:17.520 --> 0:38:20.160 I think, but it's also got the most resources. 0:38:20.719 --> 0:38:23.319 Yeah, I mean personally my sense about Victoria's I don't 0:38:23.320 --> 0:38:25.640 think it is as bad as some of the police suggests. 0:38:25.960 --> 0:38:28.919 But that's when we're talking about all of Victoria. What's 0:38:28.920 --> 0:38:31.120 happening in the suburbs. I mean, because we know that 0:38:31.560 --> 0:38:34.560 by elections, labor in the suburbs is getting smacked around 0:38:34.600 --> 0:38:36.200 a bit here, right, So we'll see what some of 0:38:36.239 --> 0:38:36.960 those margins are. 0:38:37.040 --> 0:38:38.640 Darren, again, your big brain. 0:38:38.760 --> 0:38:40.719 What's something that just you know, you'd like just people 0:38:40.760 --> 0:38:42.120 to take note of before the weekend. 0:38:42.360 --> 0:38:44.560 I live in the set of Wentworth, as you know, 0:38:45.320 --> 0:38:51.560 there's a lot of my moderate Jewish friends have Ronox 0:38:51.680 --> 0:38:53.759 signs in their windows. 0:38:53.880 --> 0:38:55.160 That's the liberal. The Liberal. 0:38:56.000 --> 0:38:58.760 She's been doing a lot of outreach with the Jewish community, obviously, 0:38:58.800 --> 0:39:01.439 Peter Dutton's been very strong on it, and there's even 0:39:01.560 --> 0:39:05.200 talk of a nanty Semitic orse nanty semitic component to 0:39:05.719 --> 0:39:10.200 those coming into Australia. I think gold Steam and Wentworth. 0:39:10.600 --> 0:39:13.080 I'm not saying that they will change hands, but I 0:39:13.120 --> 0:39:16.399 think there's a play on to try and convince as 0:39:16.440 --> 0:39:20.800 many Jewish voters as possible, including the Moderate Jewish statement 0:39:20.920 --> 0:39:23.800 who would have voted for Allegra and voted for Karen Felds. 0:39:24.200 --> 0:39:27.840 They are absolutely targeting that vote and it could be 0:39:27.960 --> 0:39:31.040 quite instructive on election day in those two seats. 0:39:31.120 --> 0:39:33.480 Also, I agree one without notice to both of you 0:39:33.520 --> 0:39:34.920 here before I get to a winner and loser of 0:39:34.920 --> 0:39:36.759 the week doesn't have to be a political Whatever you 0:39:36.760 --> 0:39:41.200 want from the news that's around this week is in 0:39:41.239 --> 0:39:43.640 it around the teals, the money behind the teals. I 0:39:43.680 --> 0:39:47.040 noticed tonight a Leegra spender and Zalie Stegelder both said 0:39:47.840 --> 0:39:50.640 we're not getting money from the tees anymore because we're 0:39:50.719 --> 0:39:52.400 up and running and we're our own little thing and 0:39:52.400 --> 0:39:54.600 we've left the nest. So they're not going to be 0:39:54.640 --> 0:39:57.160 taking Climate two hundred money. But they're up and running, 0:39:57.160 --> 0:39:59.439 and instead Climate two hundred will apparently be just moving 0:39:59.480 --> 0:40:00.920 there money to the. 0:40:01.000 --> 0:40:03.560 Lower profile teals or the. 0:40:03.440 --> 0:40:06.640 Ones that they think might become future teals. So watch 0:40:06.680 --> 0:40:08.000 that space in the next of the while. And if 0:40:08.040 --> 0:40:09.640 you live in one of those suburbs, I'm sorry about 0:40:09.640 --> 0:40:11.440 all of the signs you're going to see. As for 0:40:11.480 --> 0:40:14.040 the major parties that are fighting back against them. You 0:40:14.160 --> 0:40:16.920 got to convince people to put a sign in the 0:40:18.000 --> 0:40:20.200 in the yard or people think that the Teals already 0:40:20.200 --> 0:40:22.400 won the seat. Anyway, a winner or loser it for 0:40:22.440 --> 0:40:22.880 the week. 0:40:22.920 --> 0:40:26.040 I'm going to go I'm Frety mad Well. Winner of 0:40:26.040 --> 0:40:28.560 the week is the Richmond footy Club forty one points 0:40:28.640 --> 0:40:30.960 down and I don't beg for them. I'm an essent supporter. 0:40:31.000 --> 0:40:33.880 I know you are, but forty one points down people 0:40:33.880 --> 0:40:36.360 said they wouldn't win a game for the season. And 0:40:36.400 --> 0:40:39.560 the losers of the week Carlton, because I've always. 0:40:39.200 --> 0:40:42.959 Hated it, I've made nice to see you again again. 0:40:43.000 --> 0:40:45.120 You welcome back anytime, Christy your winner or a loser 0:40:45.160 --> 0:40:45.480 of the week? 0:40:45.480 --> 0:40:49.560 Mate, Paul, how can I go past here in Melbourne? 0:40:49.600 --> 0:40:53.400 The Grand Prix, the winner of the week? It remains 0:40:53.440 --> 0:40:56.520 in Victoria. It hasn't quite been stolen away to the 0:40:56.560 --> 0:40:59.000 Middle East or somewhere else quite yet. 0:40:59.239 --> 0:41:00.719 Sydney. It's here. 0:41:01.360 --> 0:41:06.799 Sidney hasn't nabbed it from us yet. 0:41:07.560 --> 0:41:10.800 They just add, they just add add the number of races. 0:41:10.800 --> 0:41:12.640 What twenty five last year. I think they'll be growing 0:41:12.760 --> 0:41:14.759 in the next little while. Thank you guys, do appreciated. 0:41:14.960 --> 0:41:20.040 Yeah you go we keep it. We're broke. We need Yeah. 0:41:20.080 --> 0:41:21.640 All right, thank you guys, do appreciate it. I have a 0:41:21.680 --> 0:41:23.120 wonderful weekend. All right, quick break. 0:41:23.120 --> 0:41:24.880 I want to stick with Victoria, but I also want 0:41:24.920 --> 0:41:26.879 to tell you about something that you might be able 0:41:26.920 --> 0:41:29.120 to watch this weekend that is one of the most 0:41:29.120 --> 0:41:32.279 important things you've ever watched. Which is not a way 0:41:32.280 --> 0:41:34.640 of hooking you into watching this program. It's a way 0:41:34.680 --> 0:41:38.640 of telling you about something that you are absolutely going 0:41:38.640 --> 0:41:39.400 to want to see more in. 0:41:44.680 --> 0:41:45.600 Thank you so much for watching. 0:41:45.640 --> 0:41:47.560 Now, before we finish up for this week, I wanted 0:41:47.560 --> 0:41:50.080 to take a little bit of time to talk about 0:41:50.320 --> 0:41:55.440 two things at once. Him here Today we got confirmation 0:41:55.520 --> 0:41:58.040 of what we have known all the way along about 0:41:58.040 --> 0:41:59.719 the crime figures in Victoria. 0:41:59.760 --> 0:42:01.040 They have been terrible. 0:42:01.400 --> 0:42:03.360 We've spoken for as long as we've been on the 0:42:03.360 --> 0:42:06.399 air about the problems at the moment. Now, even when 0:42:06.440 --> 0:42:08.919 we showed you the crime statistics a couple of weeks ago, 0:42:09.040 --> 0:42:12.640 there were people in the Turmbul Times trying to pretend 0:42:12.640 --> 0:42:16.080 that there's not really a crime crisis as Labour vows 0:42:16.120 --> 0:42:19.400 to introduce its toughest bail laws ever, is Victoria. 0:42:19.000 --> 0:42:21.040 Truly in a crime crisis. 0:42:21.520 --> 0:42:24.960 Well, guess what we learned today, Yeah, it's in a 0:42:25.040 --> 0:42:26.000 crime crisis. 0:42:27.040 --> 0:42:27.879 These stats this. 0:42:27.880 --> 0:42:32.160 Time came from the Victoria Police and they released about 0:42:32.160 --> 0:42:35.640 the number of people who have been arrested for what crimes, 0:42:36.520 --> 0:42:38.040 including youth offenders. 0:42:38.200 --> 0:42:39.759 His how it's explained on Channel. 0:42:39.480 --> 0:42:44.799 Seven, criminal offenses are up almost sixteen percent, theft from 0:42:44.800 --> 0:42:49.120 a car the fastest growing crime, up nineteen percent. Retail 0:42:49.200 --> 0:42:53.839 and car theft also up significantly, with family violence order 0:42:53.920 --> 0:42:56.280 breaches increasing by eight percent. 0:42:57.680 --> 0:43:00.360 Now we know this to be the case, but also 0:43:00.640 --> 0:43:04.200 while the total number of youth offenders is down, the 0:43:04.400 --> 0:43:09.040 crimes are up because a group of young offenders keep 0:43:09.320 --> 0:43:10.840 committing the crimes. 0:43:11.239 --> 0:43:12.080 Hence why there's a. 0:43:12.040 --> 0:43:15.520 Need for proper bail laws, which are currently being debated 0:43:15.600 --> 0:43:19.560 by the Victorian Parliament. For their part, Victoria Police is 0:43:19.560 --> 0:43:22.000 getting all tough when of course they should have been. 0:43:21.880 --> 0:43:23.400 Tough for a few years. 0:43:23.400 --> 0:43:27.479 Now we are and have reached levels of crime never 0:43:27.520 --> 0:43:32.080 experienced in this state, certainly since electronic records were kept 0:43:32.320 --> 0:43:36.080 or initiated in nineteen ninety three. We'll see more victims, 0:43:37.800 --> 0:43:42.720 We'll see more communities being terrorized, We'll see more people 0:43:42.800 --> 0:43:47.480 being injured. Potentially, they will see more people potentially being killed. 0:43:48.480 --> 0:43:51.120 The bar laws need to be implemented as soon as possible. 0:43:52.160 --> 0:43:54.600 So the light goes on for some including over at 0:43:54.600 --> 0:43:57.640 the turnbul Times that yeah, there's a problem, and the 0:43:57.719 --> 0:44:00.520 Victorian government trying to do a few things on the edges, 0:44:00.560 --> 0:44:03.719 hopefully will make some changes. But there are fundamental problems 0:44:04.239 --> 0:44:07.239 that are in and around the story of crime and 0:44:07.280 --> 0:44:09.759 particularly youth crime right across the country, but again quite 0:44:09.800 --> 0:44:13.439 specific to Victoria. And here's how I talk about two 0:44:13.520 --> 0:44:16.760 things at the same time. Now, let me be very clear. 0:44:17.160 --> 0:44:19.799 I'm a person who believes that there should be punishment 0:44:20.360 --> 0:44:23.440 for the person who commits the crime. This does not 0:44:23.680 --> 0:44:26.680 level things out because the person who's the victim is 0:44:26.719 --> 0:44:27.319 scared for. 0:44:27.280 --> 0:44:28.400 The rest of their lives. 0:44:28.719 --> 0:44:31.600 But obviously not every crime results in somebody going to 0:44:31.640 --> 0:44:36.000 jail for the rest of their life, so again punishment 0:44:36.440 --> 0:44:39.799 must be more severe. What I also want to mention 0:44:39.920 --> 0:44:42.640 here too is what is dawning on the people who 0:44:42.760 --> 0:44:44.719 just a couple of weeks ago were saying there's no 0:44:44.920 --> 0:44:48.719 crime crisis here. This again is what was in the 0:44:48.880 --> 0:44:52.279 turbul times. Cost of living and family violence push up 0:44:52.360 --> 0:44:56.839 Victoria crime rates to the highest level in almost a decade. 0:44:58.280 --> 0:45:00.000 That's why. 0:45:01.320 --> 0:45:07.160 I talk about cost of living every night. That's why 0:45:07.960 --> 0:45:14.239 we campaigned aggressively about the lockdowns that played out in Victoria. 0:45:15.360 --> 0:45:17.480 And while all of the Karens were patting themselves on 0:45:17.520 --> 0:45:20.479 the back that we must stay inside, we must stay 0:45:20.480 --> 0:45:23.160 inside because the woof flu may kill us, all the 0:45:23.200 --> 0:45:26.400 reality was that there were an awful lot of kids 0:45:26.840 --> 0:45:29.440 who may well have never committed a crime, who were 0:45:29.480 --> 0:45:33.160 forced to stay in homes that the last place they 0:45:33.200 --> 0:45:34.720 want to be is those homes. 0:45:35.480 --> 0:45:36.399 So I hope all of. 0:45:36.320 --> 0:45:39.840 The Ice stand with Dan crowd are proud because what 0:45:40.000 --> 0:45:44.800 you are seeing is one of the results of forcing 0:45:45.120 --> 0:45:51.319 people to stay with their captor. And again, it is 0:45:51.320 --> 0:45:56.000 always really complicated about a conversation about how to make 0:45:56.000 --> 0:45:58.880 sure that we can do things to prevent crime. But 0:45:59.000 --> 0:46:00.840 one of the things that we could do to prevent 0:46:00.920 --> 0:46:04.400 a generation turning to crime in places like Victoria is 0:46:04.440 --> 0:46:06.440 to make sure that if they need to leave their abuse, 0:46:06.480 --> 0:46:09.480 so they're able to not to lock them in the house. 0:46:09.520 --> 0:46:10.600 With the abuser. 0:46:11.200 --> 0:46:14.520 To try to offer as much assistance as possible to 0:46:14.520 --> 0:46:16.799 people who are having serious problems when it comes to 0:46:16.840 --> 0:46:19.799 cost of living, like say fifteen hundred dollars for the 0:46:19.800 --> 0:46:22.600 load of middle income tax offset. That guaranteed that that 0:46:22.640 --> 0:46:25.400 family would have had fifteen hundred dollars every year for 0:46:25.440 --> 0:46:28.000 the past three years before and a half one thousand 0:46:28.040 --> 0:46:30.600 dollars to help deal with the cost of living. That's 0:46:30.640 --> 0:46:34.160 why I talk about it each and every night. And 0:46:34.200 --> 0:46:36.319 I also want to point you to a phenomenal piece 0:46:36.360 --> 0:46:39.399 of television. I was up very late last night, almost 0:46:39.480 --> 0:46:41.080 up until the sun came up, because I had to 0:46:41.080 --> 0:46:43.040 watch every single minute of every single episode of a 0:46:43.040 --> 0:46:47.200 show called Adolescence. It's available on Netflix, and depending on 0:46:47.239 --> 0:46:49.279 how you watch Netflix, go and watch it the way 0:46:49.280 --> 0:46:52.239 that you would normally watch your Netflix. This is an 0:46:52.239 --> 0:46:55.920 incredible show and one of the most beautiful techniques is that, 0:46:56.040 --> 0:46:58.560 like a play, each one hour episode, and there's only 0:46:58.560 --> 0:47:01.360 four of them, is one shot. 0:47:02.760 --> 0:47:05.760 I'm arresting you on Suspicion of murder? Do you understand? 0:47:07.719 --> 0:47:09.759 Adolescence is not a who done it? 0:47:09.760 --> 0:47:10.520 It's a why done it? 0:47:11.080 --> 0:47:13.600 How did this boy end up in this place? 0:47:13.719 --> 0:47:13.960 You sor? 0:47:14.000 --> 0:47:15.720 And he's going to wrastle on Suspicion of murder? 0:47:16.760 --> 0:47:19.600 Now, The reviews are all amazing about the technical achievement, 0:47:19.600 --> 0:47:22.480 and that's absolutely the case, the acting, which is phenomenal, the. 0:47:23.480 --> 0:47:26.560 Father who is also the writer and creator incredible. 0:47:27.360 --> 0:47:29.719 But what I love most about this show and I 0:47:29.840 --> 0:47:31.960 just found so impactful that the second that it was over, 0:47:32.000 --> 0:47:33.719 I went and hugged the kids and told them how 0:47:33.800 --> 0:47:36.279 much I love them and promised to be a better dad, 0:47:36.280 --> 0:47:38.319 and all the rest of it was because it's not 0:47:38.360 --> 0:47:42.040 about a classic story of drugs or abuse or anything 0:47:42.080 --> 0:47:44.319 like that. It's just about howevery normal family ends up 0:47:44.320 --> 0:47:48.080 in a scenario where something really terrible happens because one 0:47:48.120 --> 0:47:53.040 of their kids has clearly broken the law. And while 0:47:53.040 --> 0:47:54.879 they're promoting this, the bloke who is the father, who 0:47:54.920 --> 0:47:58.319 is the writer, is saying this about what we need 0:47:58.360 --> 0:48:01.800 to do to stop kids before they become criminals. 0:48:03.120 --> 0:48:05.840 Our main name, if I'm really honest, The objective for 0:48:05.960 --> 0:48:08.360 me and Phil and for everyone that was involved in 0:48:08.440 --> 0:48:11.319 the piece, Jack especially, Do you know what I mean 0:48:11.719 --> 0:48:14.880 is to create conversation in homes with fathers and sons, 0:48:14.920 --> 0:48:17.719 and fathers and daughters and mothers and sons and mothers 0:48:17.760 --> 0:48:20.799 and daughters, to try and create that conversation about how 0:48:20.840 --> 0:48:22.680 to navigate the world today. Do you know what I mean? 0:48:22.760 --> 0:48:23.120 Really? 0:48:23.480 --> 0:48:26.760 Because I think one of the main aims we found 0:48:26.880 --> 0:48:29.160 as we were doing the research and as we were 0:48:29.160 --> 0:48:33.000 discussing it is how much the Internet and how much 0:48:33.040 --> 0:48:38.960 phones and laptops and iPads parents, but also teach our 0:48:39.040 --> 0:48:41.359 kids just as much as we and the school dude, 0:48:41.400 --> 0:48:43.279 you know what I mean today. So I think a 0:48:43.320 --> 0:48:45.120 lot of the stuff is coming from the Internet. 0:48:46.000 --> 0:48:48.920 It's an unwantivy show in the world right now, adolest 0:48:49.239 --> 0:48:51.800 It's on Netflix, and I guarantee it'll start a conversation 0:48:52.000 --> 0:48:52.680 we all need to have. 0:48:52.840 --> 0:48:54.000 Go Yankee, see you next week.
