WEBVTT - Sharri | 18 February 0:00:01.560 --> 0:00:01.760 Why. 0:00:02.120 --> 0:00:11.080 On Sky News, this is Sharry. 0:00:07.960 --> 0:00:12.160 Good Evening Tonight, we expose more doctors for denying the 0:00:12.240 --> 0:00:16.200 rape of Israeli women on October seven and defending her 0:00:16.320 --> 0:00:21.159 mus taking hostages. These complaints have been dismissed by the 0:00:21.360 --> 0:00:25.680 h Triple C. That exclusive coming up, plus Hollywood actor 0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:28.639 Nate bars is on the show. He asks why haven't 0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:34.000 police pressed charges against the Bankstown nurses and leading economists 0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:37.479 are now concerned that RBA has bowed to political pressure 0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:40.760 in cutting rates too early. I'll be joined by former 0:00:40.800 --> 0:00:45.440 Treasury Assistant Secretary David Pearl and Warren Hogan, and let's 0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:49.640 start the show with the rates decision. Today, the RBA 0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:53.000 delivered a rate cut of zero point twenty five percentage points. 0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:56.760 This is the first mortgage relief in more than four years, 0:00:57.360 --> 0:01:00.200 and the cash rate will now fall from four point 0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:04.640 three five percent to four point one. Leading economists are 0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:09.360 concerned this could set back the fight against inflation, that 0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:13.679 this outcome today is a result of political pressure, and indeed, 0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:18.640 IBA Governor Michelle Bullock faced an intense political campaign to 0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:23.759 cut rates ahead of the election. Labor MPs publicly urged 0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:27.800 her to cut by double the usual amount, up to 0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:33.520 fifty basis points, despite grave concerns from economists and a 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:39.360 group of labor politicians including Mike Friedlander, Graham Perrot, Brian Mitchell, 0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:43.560 Rob Mitchell and Sam Ray all piled on the pressure 0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:48.120 on Michelle Bullock in comments in the Australian newspaper Today, 0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:52.160 and others including union figures, went on camera. 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:56.280 If they make a decision today not to cut interest rates, 0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:58.200 it would be a dire mistake. 0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:02.000 And I reckon that they deserve great relief. 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:04.720 I want to cut gear and I want to cut 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:07.120 My job is to stand up for my community and 0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:08.000 we need a cut. 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:13.440 Pre ta cheap cheap, Well we all would. Well, you know, 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:15.399 any of us have got a mortgage and like one. 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:16.160 That's for sure. 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:21.239 Now the RBA faces accusations that they caved in to 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:25.880 political pressure because there's an election on now. We don't 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:30.200 have full transparency over the precise vote that took place 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:33.520 at the RBA board, whether it was unanimous or which 0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:38.000 members voted for or against a cut. But Michelle Bullock 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:41.239 did indicate today that it was a heated discussion. 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:45.600 It was a difficult decision in the sense that there 0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:48.720 were arguments on both sides and what I would say 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:51.640 is that the Board had a very active debate of 0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:55.520 the arguments on both sides on this, but in the 0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:59.120 end came to the view that the better decision was 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:02.560 to be a little bit of the restrictiveness, still maintain 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:05.600 some restrictiveness, but ease a little bit of restrictiveness in 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:08.920 recognition that we are making progress towards our goal. 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:14.560 Sitting around the RBA board table is Stephen Kennedy, the 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:18.880 Treasury Secretary and good friend of Jim Chalmers, and you'd 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:20.760 imagine he would have been arguing. 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:21.760 Strongly for a cut. 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:26.760 Not only would this boost Albanese's electoral chances, but also 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:31.160 fascinating research shows that the suburbs worst hit by rising 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:35.480 mortgages are in labor electorates. This is research from the 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:38.920 Parliamentary Library. It was commissioned by the Coalition and it 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:43.520 shows that twelve of the fifteen most impacted suburbs are 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:48.200 in labour seats, and these include Salisbury and Adelaide, where 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:52.120 mortgage repayments increased from six hundred and seventy nine dollars 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:56.040 to two thousand, one hundred and seventeen. You can just 0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:59.720 imagine how those families would be struggling. Then Bayswater in 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:02.680 the l seat of Perth, where the monthly mortgage rose 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:06.440 two hundred and nine percent to two thousand, three hundred 0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:09.560 and thirty five dollars a month. And Woodridge in Jim 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:12.920 Chalmer's seat of Rancord, where repayments have increased by one 0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:18.520 hundred and seventy three percent. But all Australians have felt 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:23.000 this pain. In total, Australians have had more than thirteen 0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:28.000 rate hikes, and twelve of those were under Albanizi. And 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:31.480 you remember how Albanizi blamed Scott Morrison for that first 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:34.640 rate hike back in the twenty twenty two election campaign. 0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:37.880 Well it doesn't take responsibility now for the other twelve. 0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:42.080 And remember Australia is steel and has been in a 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:43.719 per capita recession. 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:44.960 For two years. 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:49.680 A family with a typical mortgage will have spent fifty 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:55.600 thousand dollars more on mortgage repayments since Albanzi came to government. 0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:59.680 That's according to Shadow treasurer Angus Taylor, who made the 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:04.000 point today the prices just aren't going to come down 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:06.839 anytime soon now. 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:11.080 Labour's own forecasts. Labour's own forecasts don't get us back 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:14.400 to the living standards that they inherited back when they 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:17.280 won the election in twenty twenty two. They don't get 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:21.159 us back to those living standards until twenty thirty with 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:24.559 further downgrades today, it's a long way back. 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:29.960 Treasurer Jim Charmers of Cost celebrated the rate cut and 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:32.599 indicated the end is in sight for the cost of 0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:33.560 living crisis. 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:38.640 It's a demonstration of the progress that Australians have made 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:43.720 together in this fight against inflation. Now that progress that 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:47.920 we've made has been substantial, it is now sustained and 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:52.680 it's reflected in the decision taken by the Reserve Bank today. Now, 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:56.480 when we came to office, inflation and interest rates were rising. 0:05:56.960 --> 0:06:00.719 Now both are falling. This is the softle that we 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:03.680 have been planning for and preparing. 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:07.760 For, and you'll hear more of that messaging as the 0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:13.359 election campaign officially gets underway. But this rate comes despite 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:17.920 some economists warning that yes, while headline inflation is now 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:21.479 within the IRBAS two to three percent target, this is 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:24.919 because it has been artificially lowered by Labour's cost of 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:29.840 living subsidies. This is only temporary and headline inflation is 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:33.760 expected to rise back above target when the subsidies stop 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:40.280 and underlying inflation is still above three percent, and economists 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:43.920 are concerned this decision could push back the fight against inflation. 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:47.560 It isn't yet over, as much as Albanezi would like 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:48.599 to wish it away. 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:52.359 Michelle Bullet was very keen to note, actually there is 0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:55.080 a scenario by where if we get things wrong here, 0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:57.680 we might have to raising distrats again and that really 0:06:57.720 --> 0:07:00.640 would be bad for the Reserve Bank's credibility, so quite 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:03.080 clearly very bad for Australia's economy as well. 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:04.600 This would have been a bit of a knife edged 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:08.320 decision for her, and you can read in the statement indeed, 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:11.480 that she's forecasting that it's not going to necessarily be 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:14.360 the case that this is the first of several rates 0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:15.520 drops this year. 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:20.120 So as you just heard there from Ross Greenwood explaining 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:23.680 her decision, Michelle Bullock said that this rate cut doesn't 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:27.160 mean further relief his coming, and that was a curious comment. 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:28.960 So here she was again today. 0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:32.360 I can't say one and done. What I can say 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:35.800 is that we've done one. We've removed a bit of restrictiveness. 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.920 We are still restrictive, and we are waiting for more 0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:41.440 evidence that we're getting inflation sustain to be black in 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:44.560 the band before we are willing to move again. 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:49.920 Former Treasury Assistant Secretary David Pearl. He'll be on the 0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:54.120 show tonight and his view is that this RBA cut 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:57.680 is premature. He says, if it needs to be reversed, 0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:02.360 then our inflation problem will be worse and the credibility. 0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:04.240 Of the RBA will be in tatters. 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:08.400 Now, make no mistake, this decision today will play into 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:12.080 the election timing, and Albinizi is now poised to call. 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:14.040 The federal election imminently. 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:18.880 Most likely it'll be held in early April, a poll 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:27.120 that for many can't come soon enough. Okay, let's continue 0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:31.080 now our expose over the toxic culture and racism in 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:35.040 the Australian healthcare sector, and tonight we can reveal new 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:40.840 instances of shocking antisemitism by Australian doctors who've shared posts 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:47.800 encouraging radicalization, denying rapes of women on October seven in Israel, 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:54.280 and even defending her musk taking hostages. I mean, every 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:58.440 day this gets worse. One GP who works in Bankstown 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:04.320 reposted on Instagram Palestine will never die. Have faith in 0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:07.240 the resistance and in the resilience. 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:08.319 Of the Palestinian people. 0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:14.440 Another post also encourages radicalization, saying let this radicalize you 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:17.800 rather than lead you to despair, with a picture of 0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:22.840 a masked terrorist. And here's yet another post from this 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:28.720 Bangstown GP of a terrorist holding a weapon. Then another 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:33.960 GP who presents a very family friendly image will She 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:39.680 denies that women were raped on October seven, she claimed incorrectly, 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:43.120 and I'm quoting her post here. No women have come 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:49.320 forward about rape, despite many public calls. She also supports 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:52.320 boycotting of Israel and tells people to call their super 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:54.680 fund to divest from Israeli companies. 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:55.480 This is a GP. 0:09:56.360 --> 0:10:00.080 She shared a post claiming October seven was a prison break, 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:04.440 and in this post she said that the Israeli state 0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:09.760 began as Britain and the Allies cruel experiment in apartheid 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:14.280 for millions of Palestinian people, she writes, And you wonder 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:18.600 why they fight back? Why her mus the Palestinian Liberation 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:23.840 organizations and other militia and political organizations formed in response 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:29.560 to Israeli's incursions. Now, I don't need to tell you 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:32.839 that this is an egregious reframing of history and it's 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:39.800 clear support for terrorist groups that have slaughtered entire innocent families. 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:44.240 This GP, as I said, presents with a family friendly image, 0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:48.480 and she's even a children's author. This is highly dangerous 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:52.680 and inflammatory stuff. And here's another doctor, this one in 0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:56.520 New South Wales, who says, and I quote, Zionists will 0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:59.280 not be welcome apart from a few spots around the 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:03.960 globe after this war. And this doctor justifies her Musk 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:07.760 taking Israeli hostages. He writes, I'm quoting here, you can 0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:11.160 see it. Her Musk just wanted to get some Palestinians 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:15.719 back from a legal detention, so they took their own hostages. 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:21.560 This doctor justifying the fact that women and children, and 0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:25.360 even a nine month old baby, baby Kafir, now presumed dead, 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:30.840 was taken hostage. This is sick and he's another denier. 0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:31.559 He writes. 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:36.160 Many of the allegations about Hermas's actions on October seventh 0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:41.760 are not supported by evidence. Now the evidence is there 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:45.800 categorically for the world to see. How can a doctor 0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:50.360 like this treat patience with any credibility? How can he 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:53.160 hold a medical license if he's so delusional? 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:54.720 This is frightening. 0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:57.960 He was the subject of a complaint to the Healthcare 0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:01.480 Complaints Commission that h triple C, yet they. 0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:02.319 Took no action. 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:05.640 I've got their letter tonight, and in fact, in their 0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:09.200 letter of response they admit they didn't go to him 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:13.719 for a comment about this. Doesn't sound like a very 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:17.199 thorough investigation to me, the h TRIPC said in their letter. 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:20.800 The Commission acknowledges the upset caused by anti Semitic and 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:25.400 racist comments posted on social media. However, we have been 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:30.960 unable to establish conduct concerns at this time. This is 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:34.560 because we understand that the current situation regarding Israel and 0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:40.600 Gaza is complex and individuals may express differing opinions as 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:46.720 well as exercise free speech. This is pathetic and weak 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:51.440 from the regulator. How can they take no action against 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:55.120 a medical practitioner who denies that women were raped, who 0:12:55.160 --> 0:13:00.520 makes excuses for hamas and even defends the taking of hostage. 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:04.440 It's utterly inexplicable and it's an indictment on the h 0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:07.920 Triple C. Then have a look at this GP in 0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:12.600 Brisbane who engaged in some classic anti Semitic tropes, writing 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:17.320 on social media that the Zionist mafia that controls the world. 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:22.040 No surprise, they talk like gangsters, the actual mob. And 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:26.000 she also said, and I'm quoting, and Zionists still play 0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:30.400 the anti Symitic card when Islamophobia is way more of 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:37.960 an issue. Wish I had due privilege, Wow, due privilege. 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:41.680 And right outside the RPA hospital in Sydney, social media 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:46.320 footage shows a pro Palestinian protest where there were accusations 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:47.440 of genocide. 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:51.040 Imagine how uncomfortable. 0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:54.360 That would have made Jewish patients and staff feel. Now 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:56.880 we could be here all night. There are so many 0:13:56.920 --> 0:14:02.280 examples and this problem is clear systemic, with doctors and 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:06.320 nurses being able to bring their racism to work, and 0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:12.080 this leaves Jewish patients vulnerable. Now I've been inundated with 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:16.240 anti Semitic instances in the past few days. Kelly Sloane, 0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:18.199 she was on the show last night. She said she 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:22.280 had as well. And my understanding is that the health Minister, 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:26.160 Ryan Park, you're in New South Wales, has also received 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:30.960 many people complaining about their experiences. And I suggested today 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:33.680 to Ryan Park that he set up, as I said 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:35.360 on the show last night, he should set up a 0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:39.880 hotline or an inquiry to examine all of these instances. 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:42.360 He said to me today that he was open to 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:42.920 the idea. 0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:46.080 He understands the issue, and he told me he's thinking 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:49.560 about the best way to deal with this. He's on it. 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:52.000 He wants it to be dealt with in a timely manner. 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:55.200 He doesn't want to drag it on with long inquiry, 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:59.000 so he's trying to work out the best process. But 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:02.400 quite clearly, one of the issues that needs to be 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:05.560 examined whether it's by the state so the federal government, 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:10.480 is how APRA and other medical regulators, how the a 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:16.320 Triple ce handles this as well. And meanwhile, tomorrow morning 0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:20.840 it will be a week since this video went viral. 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:25.960 Let's say an Israeli go for them. 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:27.400 I went to treat them, luck to them. 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:31.040 You have no idea how many Israeli had a dog 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:37.680 came to this hospital and me too. 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:41.120 And yet still New South Wales police and the AFP 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:45.720 haven't pressed charges against the two Bankstown nurses despite their 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:50.040 clear hate speech. Now I talk about this with Hollywood 0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:52.040 actor Nate Buzz a bit later in the show. 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:53.200 Here's what he told me today. 0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:57.000 The Australian government is scared to push this through the 0:15:57.080 --> 0:16:00.240 legal system because if these two people are charged and 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:02.080 found guilty, of what they've done. I think it's going 0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:06.080 to open up Pandora's box into every other anti Semitic 0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:12.200 member of the Arab Islamic community in Australia who have 0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:16.720 been allowed to spew hate for fifteen months now. 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:20.800 If police don't take action here, then the hate speech 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:23.960 laws are not worth the paper they're written on and 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:31.720 there will be an ouproar from all Australians. Right joining 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:33.880 me now, former Speaker of the House Bronwin Bishop and 0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:35.400 Liberal Senator Holly Hughes. 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:36.440 Welcome to you both. 0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:40.880 And Holly, you actually get to question Opera in Senate 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:41.880 Estimates next week? 0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:43.640 Is that writer? Are you going to be asking them 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:44.320 about some of this? 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:47.600 As long as estimates goes ahead next week we will 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:50.400 be hearing from Opera, and certainly as a committee, I 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:53.280 think we should be writing to them to find out 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:56.400 what their response to this is. This is extraordinary that 0:16:56.480 --> 0:17:00.400 within our healthcare system, people that are supposed to provide 0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:04.679 care regardless of who is in front of them, it's 0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:08.320 part of their oaths to do that, that this sort 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:11.440 of hate and bile is being allowed to be spewed 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:15.919 everywhere over social media. You can only imagine how uncomfortable. 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:19.200 It must be for any Jewish patients of those gps 0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:22.440 or doctors or concerns that the Jewish community must now 0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:27.280 have presenting anywhere. Some of these seem to be in 0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:29.920 certain areas of Sydney. I don't know where the GP 0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:33.520 in Brisbane is based, but you know, our areas are 0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:36.639 not completely homogenous or get always totally. They're doing their 0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:40.120 best in some areas and they're just very well. Maybe 0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:43.399 a Jewish patient that needs to attend Bankstown Hospital and 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:45.840 I'm not sure I'd be too confident if I was there. 0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:49.080 Yeah. Well, there's an Instagram account that's been that has 0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:51.960 set up. It's anonymous that has a lot of examples 0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:54.720 on it. It's called not my Doctor. And you just 0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:56.639 have to think that if you're going to see a 0:17:56.640 --> 0:17:59.080 specialist who you don't know in the future, if you're Jewish, 0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:01.000 you're going to be wanting to check their social media 0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:04.119 because these doctors feel comfortable. 0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:05.920 Enough putting it there in black and white. 0:18:06.200 --> 0:18:09.320 Now, I'm going to return with Jeorgie Crozier that she's 0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:12.439 the shadow health Minister in Victoria. I'm going to return 0:18:12.480 --> 0:18:14.080 to speak about this with her in a minute. 0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:15.280 So let's get back to this. 0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:21.440 Rates decision today, now, Bronwin, this is clearly it's unclear 0:18:21.520 --> 0:18:25.200 whether there is a strong enough case for the rates cut. 0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:27.919 Economists have different views. I've got two on the show tonight, 0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:30.439 but it's clear that this is what the Prime Minister 0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:33.719 was hoping for and there was a lot of pressure 0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:34.840 put on the RBA board. 0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:39.200 Well, there was a campaign run and unfortunately for the 0:18:39.280 --> 0:18:42.800 head of the RBA, who I've had a high regard 0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:47.600 for because she's been strong, but irrespective of whether she's 0:18:47.640 --> 0:18:50.680 still being strong, it has the appearance of there being 0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:55.080 political interference and that's bad for the RBA. If you 0:18:55.160 --> 0:18:58.840 look at the reality, the underlying inflation rate is still 0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:01.919 at three point two percent, but the statement was it 0:19:01.960 --> 0:19:05.480 is expected to be between two and three percent if 0:19:05.520 --> 0:19:08.919 you project forward. But every other statement has been well 0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:11.760 we're not there yet, and you look backwards and you say, 0:19:11.760 --> 0:19:15.800 well it hasn't happened yet. So quite clearly Albaneze he 0:19:15.880 --> 0:19:18.560 wants to have an election. I've said all along issue. 0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:21.600 He wanted to go in December and lost his nerve. 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:26.120 But the long ward goes on without something, the worse 0:19:26.160 --> 0:19:29.400 it gets for them. So he is going to try 0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:31.640 and have this as quickly as he can, there will 0:19:31.680 --> 0:19:34.879 be no budget. And when I watched again, as the 0:19:35.040 --> 0:19:38.040 expression I use with regard to the snake charm of 0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:42.000 the treasurer, he flaps the lips and nothing meaningful comes out. 0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:45.800 This is for soft landing. We were planning. Really, you 0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:49.440 also planned the twelve increases, did you? And the time 0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:53.040 that you've been the treasure of this country, there is 0:19:53.160 --> 0:19:56.680 nothing that they have done that could have curbed back 0:19:56.720 --> 0:19:59.920 that inflation. They have spent three hundred and forty seven 0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:04.680 billion dollars extra, which is pushed inflation along instead of 0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:08.320 being cut back earlier. And together with the industrial relations 0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:11.560 laws and the push where the government has actually increased 0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:15.280 wages whereby they get more but they could buy less, 0:20:15.840 --> 0:20:20.200 the country's economy has been run badly. And that's the fact, 0:20:20.440 --> 0:20:22.400 and it has to be laid out clearly. 0:20:23.280 --> 0:20:26.000 That comment from the governor Michelle Bullock where she said 0:20:26.040 --> 0:20:30.040 there was heated debate arguments foreign against Look, it shows, yes, 0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:34.040 they eventually arrived at a decision, but it shows the 0:20:34.040 --> 0:20:37.040 case wasn't obvious for a rate cut. And we don't 0:20:37.040 --> 0:20:39.960 even know what her personal position was on this. 0:20:40.200 --> 0:20:41.760 And we don't know what the vote was and we 0:20:41.800 --> 0:20:46.000 don't know who landed where and what thewhelming number was 0:20:46.200 --> 0:20:49.879 in support of the rake Hut. I have never seen 0:20:50.080 --> 0:20:53.679 a rake hut so hyped as today, and it was 0:20:53.720 --> 0:20:56.560 extraordinary the number of people who were tuning in to 0:20:56.680 --> 0:20:59.600 watch it. I was watching it and I think Ross, 0:20:59.680 --> 0:21:02.080 I've actually mentioned it to my husband and I don't 0:21:02.080 --> 0:21:04.200 think I've ever sat around a TV waiting to see 0:21:04.200 --> 0:21:06.679 what an RBA decision was. I mean, normally they come 0:21:06.720 --> 0:21:09.920 in when we're sitting in question time, but I saw 0:21:10.000 --> 0:21:14.080 Ross greenway't say I've never seen the anticipation around this 0:21:14.400 --> 0:21:17.160 possible rate cut or not. And you can hear the 0:21:17.160 --> 0:21:22.040 political campaign charging behind it, and Jim Chalmers came out 0:21:22.280 --> 0:21:25.520 on Monday saying to his MPs, don't talk about it. 0:21:26.320 --> 0:21:29.000 And I was doing Pete Stefanovic with Matt fi Waite 0:21:29.000 --> 0:21:29.480 and he's. 0:21:29.320 --> 0:21:30.840 Like, so he's the red rag to a bull. 0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:34.520 You know, Matt had the most ridiculous answer, but Dove 0:21:34.720 --> 0:21:38.160 ride in on the issue, and you know, they were 0:21:38.200 --> 0:21:41.440 putting so much pressure on the RBA. I'm very concerned 0:21:41.480 --> 0:21:45.479 that Australians may take this as the start of more 0:21:45.560 --> 0:21:48.879 rate cuts to come. When going it's not going to 0:21:48.880 --> 0:21:51.119 be but you and I and Brow when we all 0:21:51.160 --> 0:21:53.200 watch all the news, we were sitting at home watching 0:21:53.240 --> 0:21:55.960 the rate cut. If you're busy cooking dinner for the 0:21:56.000 --> 0:21:58.439 family and getting the lunches ready for tomorrow while the 0:21:58.520 --> 0:22:01.040 washing machine's going in the background, you're not sitting down 0:22:01.080 --> 0:22:03.800 and listening to the full statement of Michelle Bully. You 0:22:03.880 --> 0:22:06.360 hear this, you think, Wow, things are starting to get 0:22:06.400 --> 0:22:10.040 a bit easier. If it doesn't come through, if the 0:22:10.160 --> 0:22:13.439 inflation rate doesn't get between three, and we find that 0:22:13.480 --> 0:22:16.119 it goes up again, the rates go back, you know 0:22:16.160 --> 0:22:17.760 a lot of these families are going to get an 0:22:17.800 --> 0:22:21.680 almighty shock all over again. And it's and I heard 0:22:21.800 --> 0:22:23.560 Ross say today, you've got to ring your bank to 0:22:23.680 --> 0:22:25.080 ask for the rate cart. 0:22:25.160 --> 0:22:26.720 You don't just assume it's coming. 0:22:26.760 --> 0:22:27.080 People. 0:22:27.160 --> 0:22:30.000 Ring your bank tomorrow and tell them you want the car. 0:22:29.960 --> 0:22:32.159 Sit on hold for two hours. Yeah, nothing worse. And 0:22:32.280 --> 0:22:33.480 what you're going to say, bro, We're. 0:22:33.320 --> 0:22:35.600 Not going to bring down your basket when you go 0:22:35.640 --> 0:22:37.119 to the supermarket. 0:22:36.760 --> 0:22:41.080 Exactly down again. It stays at that used to. 0:22:41.040 --> 0:22:43.320 Be five dollars, it's now seven dollars thirty. 0:22:43.520 --> 0:22:44.480 It's not going back. 0:22:44.320 --> 0:22:47.080 To five dollars And not to mention the egg shortage 0:22:47.280 --> 0:22:50.719 at the moment as well. Speaking speak of supermarkets. Now, 0:22:50.760 --> 0:22:52.520 let's have a look at this story. The Prime Minister 0:22:52.600 --> 0:22:56.439 has denied that the spin doctors at Labry HQ are 0:22:56.480 --> 0:23:00.640 peddling misinformation with this latest medi scare attempted. 0:23:02.040 --> 0:23:06.200 He said on The Insider the program on ABC on Sunday. 0:23:06.480 --> 0:23:08.240 There'll be cats, but he won't tell you what they 0:23:08.320 --> 0:23:11.280 are until after the election. We know last time he 0:23:11.320 --> 0:23:14.359 went after health and wanted to trash Medicare. 0:23:15.960 --> 0:23:22.200 Look, there is no question labor original clip was highly 0:23:22.400 --> 0:23:25.520 misleading of Peter Duttan's comments. Let's have a look if 0:23:25.520 --> 0:23:27.199 we have it at that original clip. 0:23:28.280 --> 0:23:32.080 We're very clear about this. Medicare is dead. They can't 0:23:32.080 --> 0:23:34.200 be for free. We have to pay for a world 0:23:34.200 --> 0:23:37.160 class medical system. We are determined to send a price 0:23:37.200 --> 0:23:40.120 signal so that we can move away from the view 0:23:40.119 --> 0:23:42.280 that everything can be for free in health in this 0:23:42.359 --> 0:23:43.560 country because it can't. 0:23:43.359 --> 0:23:45.560 Be authorized by pter Erickson alp camera. 0:23:46.720 --> 0:23:49.200 So the government is determined to make sure that Medicare 0:23:49.280 --> 0:23:50.040 is sustainable. 0:23:51.920 --> 0:23:54.480 I mean, holly, he said the exact opposite. 0:23:55.200 --> 0:23:55.359
