WEBVTT - Sharri | 12 March 0:00:01.480 --> 0:00:04.240 Why on Sky News This. 0:00:04.400 --> 0:00:05.479 Is Sharry. 0:00:07.120 --> 0:00:08.160 Good Evening tonight. 0:00:08.440 --> 0:00:13.240 Donald Trump refuses to take Albanesi's phone calls, exposing our 0:00:13.280 --> 0:00:16.640 prime minister as a liar. I'll talk about this with 0:00:16.800 --> 0:00:17.599 Michael Kroger. 0:00:17.760 --> 0:00:18.160 Shortly. 0:00:18.920 --> 0:00:22.840 Police publicly confirm our report last night that the AFP 0:00:23.040 --> 0:00:26.759 withheld critical information from them about the identity of the 0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:31.520 Australian offshore criminal behind the wave of anti Semitic violence. 0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:34.400 More on that in a moment plus. 0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:37.760 Peter Dutton commits to all of the outcomes from our 0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:39.280 anti Semitism summit. 0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:44.240 This includes major migration reform. I'll discuss this with. 0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:48.960 James Patterson and the madness of Victoria looking to import energy. 0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:52.159 Why Chris Bowen ran away from a debate on his 0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:53.360 own record. 0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:56.360 That with Tet O'Brien a bit later. 0:00:57.240 --> 0:01:00.480 But first, Donald Trump has refused to take our easy's 0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:03.480 phone calls and has now slapped twenty five. 0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:05.000 Percent tariffs on Australia. 0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:09.760 This is a direct result of Australia having a left 0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:15.120 wing weak prime minister in Albanizi, who's repeatedly voted against 0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:18.440 American interests at the United Nations and. 0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:19.959 Has cozied up to China. 0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:24.959 Now it's Australian businesses that will suffer, with about fifteen 0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:29.000 percent of Australian aluminium and steel exports going to the US, 0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:33.120 and there's an estimated one hundred thousand workers in this 0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:37.080 steel industry. And the stock market also fell one point 0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:42.120 three percent today, wiping about thirty billion dollars from the ASX. 0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:46.800 The White House confirmed at six am that we wouldn't 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:50.440 be exempt from the tariffs, with the Press Secretary Carol 0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:55.120 Levitt saying that Trump considered it and considered against it. 0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:59.120 There will be no exemptions, and that was first in 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:03.400 The Herald. As you may recall, last Monday, I reported 0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:08.040 that alban Ezi had been desperately frantically trying to get 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:11.600 Trump on the phone, but that the President was refusing 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:15.280 to take his calls. Here was the start of that 0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:21.240 report that Prime Minister Anthony Alberzi has not managed to 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:26.040 schedule another call with President Donald Trump, despite trade tariff's 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:29.320 due to take effect in just eight days and a 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:32.320 Chinese warship circling Australia. 0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:34.760 Three sources tell me. 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:40.440 That Albinizi and his representatives have been desperately contacting Republican 0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:46.400 networks in the US, so That was just eight days ago, 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:51.400 and at the time Albinizi strongly denied to me that. 0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:53.639 The President wasn't taking his calls. 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:58.160 Sources tell me Albanizi has been trying to set up 0:02:58.200 --> 0:02:59.080 a call with Trump. 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:01.359 Easy denies this. 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:05.520 The Trump administration is well aware of both Albanzi and 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:09.680 Kevin Rud's past comments about the President, and I approached 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:12.840 Rudd and the Prime Minister for comment. A spokeswoman for 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:18.360 Albanese said, this is wrong. It's an absolutely incorrect insinuation 0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:24.639 that they have been rebuffed. So just last Tuesday, Albanzi 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:28.760 categorically said my report was wrong that Trump wasn't refusing 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:33.560 to take his calls. Now, Albanzi promised to return integrity 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:37.680 to politics. He said he do politics differently, but it 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:41.160 turns out he's just as grubby a liar as any 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:44.680 politician that came before him. And today the Prime Minister 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:48.520 was caught out lying over his desperate attempts to get 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:52.320 Trump on the phone, because he finally admitted the truth 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:55.800 that the President of the United States. 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:57.600 Has been rebuffing his cause. 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:01.240 Albanezy was asked today why we haven't spoken to Trump 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:05.680 since February the tenth and he had admitted that he had. 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:07.000 Been trying to get him on the phone. 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:11.400 Did he John set up a second call with Trump 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:12.160 on tariffs? 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:15.600 And if not, why not? Look will continue to engage 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:20.600 in all vehicles. We have continued to put in a 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:24.280 request for another discussion with President Trump. 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:28.400 Are you disappointed that requests to have second phone calls 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:30.000 with Trump couldn't be fulfilled? 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:31.160 Friends should pick up. 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:31.960 The phone, shouldn't we? 0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:38.240 They web engaged, web engaged, including through writing, including at 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:39.800 senior levels of the government. 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:40.840 People would be aware. 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:45.080 The Treasurer, the Trade Minister, a range of the Foreign 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:48.200 minister have all visited and have all engaged. 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:52.520 And thanks to Sky News journalist Chrystal Wou for asking 0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:57.640 that second question. But how embarrassing for Alban Easy, How 0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:02.440 utterly humiliating. But also isn't it a sorry state of 0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:05.520 affairs when you can trust a journalist more than you 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:09.640 can trust the Prime Minister. Albin Easy and those who 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:14.120 speak for him are professional liars and evaders of the truth, 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:18.560 and there's been no apology today for lying. The reality 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:22.920 is Trump hasn't taken his call. He's busy, sure, but 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:27.520 Trump works on relationships leader to leader, man to man, 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:31.320 and albin Easy has no personal relationship with Trump. 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:32.919 The president would. 0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:36.840 Also be well aware of what alban Easy and his 0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:38.560 team have said about. 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:41.560 Him in the past, comments like. 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:45.640 This, and as the United States in the last four 0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:48.200 years has been run by a village idiot because of 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:50.839 the essential incoherence of the man himself. 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:52.440 We have an alliance with the US. 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:53.480 We're going to deal with him. 0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:58.120 But that doesn't mean that you're uncritical about it. He 0:05:58.240 --> 0:05:59.240 scares it out of me. 0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:03.599 And so much more material where that came from. As 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:07.679 you've seen the fact that Alberanzi would appoint Kevin Rudd 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:11.640 to that critical posting shows the lack of respect he 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:16.200 holds for Trump. And Trump also knows exactly the type 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:20.400 of left leading leader Albanzi is, as one source with 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:23.600 close ties to Trump told me last week about Albanizi, 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:28.320 Trump's ending the Third World War no time for anti 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:30.680 Trump left wing globalists. 0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:34.440 So Trump and his team see. 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:37.680 Alber Eazy as a left wing globalist, according to this sauce. 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:42.480 But Trump can also see through Albanzi, as Ray Hadley 0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:46.080 said here last night, he's the worst prime minister in 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:47.279 our country's history. 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:50.960 Albanizi, he's pipped them by a short half head. Now 0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:51.679 he's the worst. 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:54.040 Prime minister I've seen in thirty five years of broadcasting. 0:06:55.800 --> 0:07:00.000 Now Australian businesses had no hope of avoiding the tariffs 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:03.560 when this is the person running our country. And Peter 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:06.760 Darton today squarely blamed the Prime Minister. 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:11.160 It's obvious that Anthony Albanezi and Kevin Right have had 0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:14.600 a shoka. The Prime Minister can't secure a phone call, 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:17.560 let alone a meeting with the President of the United States, 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:21.720 And how on earth can an outcome be negotiated if 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:24.480 the President won't even take the Prime minister's call. So 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:27.320 it's not just Australian to see the Prime Minister as 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:31.120 weak and incompetent, it's our trading partners as well. And 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:34.880 the sad reality is because of the Prime Minister's because 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:37.960 of the Prime Minister's inability to deal with this issue, 0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:41.680 Australian jobs are at risk and Australian industry is at risk. 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:45.040 And the Prime Minister needed to get this right and 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:45.520 he didn't. 0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:50.320 And Darton said he believes if there's a change of government, 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:53.040 if he wins, he could get a deal done on 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:56.640 tariff's with Trump. Now we don't know if this is true, 0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:59.520 but we do know that from a prime minister's Malcolm 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:04.520 Turnbull and Scott Morrison have previously negotiated exemptions with the 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:08.440 last Trump administration, and Trump has found time to meet 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:11.480 with many other presidents and prime ministers from around the 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:13.400 world since his inauguration. 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:14.720 He's invited to. 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:20.640 The White House the leaders of Israel, Japan, Jordan, India, France, 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:26.000 the United Kingdom, Ukraine and more. And Australia is the 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:32.360 only Quad partner who hasn't visited Trump in Washington. Now, 0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:35.720 this is all highly damaging for Albernizi. With a federal 0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:40.199 election looming, his failure to maintain any sort of communication 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:45.400 with the President is disastrous. The United States is our 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:51.600 most important ally. We have crucial strategic ties, strong economic 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:57.480 bonds and shared democratic values. Long term, the relationship will 0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:02.400 endure despite the incompetence of our increasingly weak leader. 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:05.040 But in the short home it's. 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:14.079 Australian businesses and families who'll suffer the most. Now I'm 0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:16.640 going to come back to that topic, also to the 0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:20.280 big news of Dutton backing in our anti Semitism summon 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:23.480 outcomes in a moment. But now let's stay with this 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:26.800 news that Trump has confirmed we won't get the exemption, 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:29.840 and let's bring in our panel Victorian Liberal Party president 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:33.719 Michael Kroger and former Labor Minister Gray Richardson. Welcome to 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:37.760 you both. So, Michael, who do you blame here? Alban Easy, 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:40.440 Kevin rud or Malcolm Turnbull. 0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:45.679 Well, the first two out of the three. I don't 0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:47.719 think Malcolm's comments were helpful, but I don't think that 0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:52.640 made much difference. Look, Shari Dan Scavino, who is one 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:55.760 of Trump's He's a deputy White House Chief of Staff. 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:58.280 He was the guy who back in November put up 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:01.679 that hourglass on X in reference to Kevin Rudd, meaning 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:04.920 he won't be here long. Right. That's a scaveno when 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:08.880 you talked, when you're talking to Trump about exemptions, Scaveno 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:12.880 would be saying to Trump, Yeah, Australia. This is the 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:16.760 country whose ambassador, as you've just pointed out, called you 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:19.240 a trade of the Western, a village idiot, whose prime 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:22.480 minister has said bad things about you, whose country has 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:25.559 allowed anti Semitism to grow to an extent we've never 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:29.440 seen before, who basically anti Jewish, anti Israel, have done 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:33.200 nothing to help Israel. The Prime mister hasn't been to Israel, 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:36.560 et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. I mean Trump and 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:39.560 his people will get the impression that this government really 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:42.200 isn't very friendly to Trump and even though we got 0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:46.360 an exemption at Adeen, they are disinclined to do it now. Albertiz, 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:48.640 who was told not to appoint Kevin Rudd, he went 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:51.720 and appointed Kevin Rudd. You couldn't have a worse person 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:56.800 in the country running around Washington seeking an exemption than 0:10:56.920 --> 0:11:01.160 Kevin Rudd. What a catastry to have that go running 0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:04.920 around and you know, thinking we can get that'll be saying, 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:06.800 look this is the bike they call the president of 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:10.360 village idiot. Oh yeah, well that's really helpful, Kevin. 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:12.040 Well done, Elbow No exactly. 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:15.240 And just to add to your list there, Michael, comprehensive 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:18.720 though it was. Even under the Biden administration, there were 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:22.239 concerns in the United States about just how close Australia 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:25.560 was getting to China under the alb and Easy government, 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:30.000 and also concerns under the Biden administration for how Australia 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:35.040 kept voting against the United States' interests and position at 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:38.400 the United Nations. So those were two issues that were 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:43.240 there before Trump came into office. Now, Richo, you've got 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:47.000 to admit it's utterly humiliating for your mate Albow that 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:50.040 he can't even get a phone call, let alone a 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:50.920 meeting with Trump. 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:56.440 Well, I wish circumstances were a little different. I think 0:11:57.720 --> 0:12:00.720 Albo is going to have to work on that relationship 0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:03.160 a little bit. It seems to have slipped. But I 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:06.800 think you know, anything you get you give Rudd to, 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:09.640 you give to Rudd finishes up a mess. 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:11.040 You blame him, You mean. 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:16.920 You blame right this Folke's record suggests that he is 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:21.520 just plain bloody hopeless. And why Alvob persists in that 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:23.040 friendship I will never know. 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:26.120 Well, he obviously feels like he owes him. Does any 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:26.640 rich Sho. 0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:30.520 Well in Mayfiel That I don't know, But he doesn't 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:36.679 he owes Kevin Rudd absolutely nothing the same as our country. 0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:43.400 Just looking at the tariffs themselves, Michael, you know most 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:47.520 commentators are saying, look, these tariffs are terrible for the 0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:51.560 global economy. There are some analysts, I mean, brianman Bishop 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:53.440 was here talking about it last night. I've also got 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:55.880 John Lee who's going to be on the show. Later, 0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:59.280 he argues that there is method to Trump's madness. He says, 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:01.880 continuing to do that is the surest way of putting 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:05.040 oneself in the worst possible position to not just gain 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:08.720 an acceptable agreement with Trump, but also prepare our economy 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:13.800 for what's ahead. Mikeel, do you think there's any way 0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:17.559 in which the tariffs could work out. 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:20.480 For the US or is this just uniformly about idea. 0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:26.440 I think economic history tells you that tariffs are not 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:30.520 a good idea. I mean, countries are successful by doing 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:32.920 what they do best and importing what they do worst. 0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:39.000 So take for example, the Albanesi government. We import solar 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:42.240 panels from China because they may cheaply. Elbows trying to 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:45.160 do a Trump by starting up a solar panel industry 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:47.720 here in Australia and spending a million dollars, so those 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:50.120 solar panels will be far more expensive than the ones 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:53.440 made in China. We are great at many things, and 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:55.640 that's why we're such a great export nation, and those 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:58.360 things we're not so good at we import from low 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:01.400 wage countries. You can see what Trump's trying to do, 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:04.800 which is to rebuild America, but in a high wage country. Essentially, 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:06.719 what happens is the cost of goods and service is 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:09.360 much higher. You can see what he's trying to do, 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:15.160 but historically tariffs are not good for trading nations. And 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:18.840 you know, I don't agree with what he's doing. You 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:22.960 can see why he's doing it, but you know, obviously Frustralia. 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:25.720 The question is what is the next on the tariff list? 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:27.600 If they get to things like beef, then we are 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:28.080 in trouble. 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:29.960 Rich O, what do you think? 0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:33.240 I think I would basically agree with what Michael said. 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:38.320 I worry about Trump. I worry about him because I 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:41.640 don't think he knows what he's doing, and that's a 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:44.800 rare thing. I mean, Biden didn't know what he was doing, 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:46.640 but he had people around him who could do it. 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:49.400 I don't know if this Blake has, but one thing's 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:51.840 for sure, he himself has not a clue what's going on. 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:55.040 I think Trump does know what he's doing, and he 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:57.560 does have a strategy here. Get into that a bit 0:14:57.680 --> 0:15:00.480 later in the show with John Lee. I want to 0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:04.080 talk about this ceasefire agreement. This is a thirty day 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:07.840 ceasefire plan that both America and Ukraine have agreed to. 0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:11.520 Trump now needs to get Putin on board, and Trump 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:14.320 has said he will speak to Putin have a look. 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:17.600 I'll talk to Vladimir, But yeah, I want to get look, 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:20.240 that's the other takes two to tango, as they say, right, 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:24.560 So hopefully he'll also agree, and I really think that 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:26.560 would be seventy five percent of the way. The rest 0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:30.920 is getting it documented. And you know, negotiating land. 0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:36.239 Michael, this is going to be difficult. Of course, Russia 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:39.600 is going to want more land. Ukraine's obviously not going 0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:41.480 to want to give up more land. How do you 0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:42.520 think this will play out? 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:49.040 So, Shari, I looked at this way. The success of JD. 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:52.520 Vance to succeed Trump as president of the United States 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:56.200 all depends on whether the Trump presidency is a success. 0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:59.640 If He's seem to fail, then Vance will fail. And 0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:04.320 I think that so much of the Trump legacy depends 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:06.880 on what happens in his relationship with Russia. Why do 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:10.440 I say that, because he made such a big campaign 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:14.560 issue of resolving the dispute with the Ukraine and Russia 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:16.520 within one day, meaning he didn't mean one day, he 0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:18.800 meant within three to six months. You know, you kay, 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:24.240 what he says, he hopefully has already had discussions with 0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:28.200 Putin and through his advisors talk to Putin's people, and 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:31.080 hopefully he knows that the Russians have prepared to back 0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:34.480 away from their public statements, which are basically all the 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:37.760 land they've got, non membership of native et cetera, cetera. 0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:40.520 You've got to hope that Trump and his people have 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:44.080 reached some kind of in principle deal already with Russia, 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:47.360 because if this goes bad on Trump, it will taint 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:51.200 his entire presidency, and that will be disastrous for J. D. Evans, 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:52.640 who's likely to follow him. 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:56.920 I think it's quite remarkable that, you know, we're still's 0:16:57.320 --> 0:17:01.440 not even three months into Trump's presidency. Already he seems 0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:05.160 to have broke it, at least an initial ceasefire agreement. 0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:07.800 You know, if you can pull it off, well, all 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:09.320 those people who. 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:12.439 Said, you know, everything he was saying about Ukraine will 0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:14.840 perhaps it was just to get food into the table. 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:17.800 We'll see, we'll see, but you know, maybe we should 0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:19.840 give him the benefit of the doubt on this. All right, 0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:23.800 let's come back to Victoria now, because we've seen the 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:27.240 premiere Alan today saying she's going to introduce the toughest 0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:30.320 bail laws in the country. This after there's been a 0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:35.080 major youth crime problem and you know, kids being let 0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:39.520 out and bail dozens of times going on to reoffending. Graham, 0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:42.800 how can the Victorian public trust her to get it 0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:45.520 right when she hasn't so far. They've been in power 0:17:45.600 --> 0:17:46.159 forever now. 0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:51.080 Yeah, I think if you're looking at any great failure 0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:54.080 in the Victorian Labor government, law and order's got to 0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:59.359 be up there. I think it's it's been a black 0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:02.120 mark again them for a long time, and they've got 0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:06.000 to do something about it. I think really tough stuff 0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:09.840 is the only way to answer your critics when you're 0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:12.840 in a situation like this. So they're going to have 0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:16.680 to bring down laws that are really tough now. I 0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:20.160 just don't know if there's a willingness within the Labor 0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:20.920 Party to do that. 0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:27.359 Michael, you're obviously you live in Victoria. Crime has become 0:18:27.640 --> 0:18:29.840 such a big issue that it is USO now playing 0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:33.280 into the federal election as well. But on these bail laws, 0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:35.040 what do you think is it all just too little, 0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:35.560 too late? 0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:37.720 Yeah? 0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:40.560 Of course. Look, Jacindra Allen, the Premier here has been 0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:44.600 in Parliament for more than twenty five years. She's grown 0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:50.000 completely drunk politically, drunk on power, on three four hundred dollars, 0:18:50.359 --> 0:18:55.359 thousand dollars salaries, chauffeured cars, pays for nothing. She's completely 0:18:55.480 --> 0:18:59.840 lost touch with Victorians. She is the Marie Antoinette of Victoria. 0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:02.879 She has no idea what's happening out there in the suburbs. 0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:06.840 To now totally reverse what she did last year tells 0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:10.159 you that she's desperate, clinging to a life raft. She 0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:12.199 doesn't believe in any of this stuff, because she did 0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:15.480 exactly the opposite just twelve months ago. So this is 0:19:15.640 --> 0:19:18.200 desperate stuff. No one trusts the Premier or any of 0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:20.880 this stuff. She doesn't believe what she's doing as a seed. 0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:24.199 She's drunk on power. And hopefully she'll be gone next year, 0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:26.760 as she should be. I mean, these people like her 0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:29.520 have been in Parlam for it more than twenty five years. Enough, 0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:30.480 it's too long. 0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:31.560 You know. 0:19:31.640 --> 0:19:34.000 They're out of touch with what's happening in the suburbs. 0:19:35.040 --> 0:19:36.720 And she won't be missed, I can tell you that. 0:19:37.119 --> 0:19:41.040 Yeah, yeah, And like I said, the issue of crime 0:19:41.760 --> 0:19:44.479 and national security are going to be very big issues 0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:48.680 in many seats in Victoria. Come the federal election as well, 0:19:48.880 --> 0:19:51.920 so you know this might change the outcome. You know, 0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:56.280 Darton's focusing on Victoria. He has he feels like there's 0:19:56.320 --> 0:19:58.200 a lot of seeds he can pick up in Victoria 0:19:58.280 --> 0:20:01.040 from labor and from the tier, and this is one 0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:04.320 of the most prominent issues at the federal election. All right, Richo, 0:20:04.520 --> 0:20:06.880 Michael Kroger, thank you boy so much for your time. 0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:10.679 All Right, let's move on to now some very welcome 0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:15.400 news on our Sky News Antisemitism Summit. Peter Dutton has 0:20:15.680 --> 0:20:20.320 endorsed all of our fifteen summit outcomes across education to 0:20:20.440 --> 0:20:24.480 law enforcement. He says there is strong and necessary response 0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:27.960 to the disturbing rise of antisemitism in our country. The 0:20:28.040 --> 0:20:31.320 Coalition supports this plan and is committed to enacting the 0:20:31.359 --> 0:20:35.399 measures for which the Federal government has responsibility to ensure 0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:39.040 antisemitism has no place in our country. He says the 0:20:39.080 --> 0:20:43.240 Coalition has been unequivocal in its approach to condemning antisemitism 0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:46.600 and will continue to do so under his leadership at 0:20:46.640 --> 0:20:51.120 all times. He says, enough is enough and the response 0:20:51.359 --> 0:20:55.800 from the Prime Minister well so far. The Executive Council 0:20:55.840 --> 0:20:59.960 of Australian Jury and Alex Rifchin haven't received a reply 0:21:00.000 --> 0:21:03.880 apply to their letter detailing the summit outcomes. And let's 0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:06.040 hope alber Easy commits to these reforms. 0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:08.080 And let's hope this isn't. 0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:12.679 Yet another example of weak leadership on anti Semitism. Now, 0:21:12.800 --> 0:21:15.359 one of the measures that Peter Dutton supported on the 0:21:15.520 --> 0:21:18.720 day of our summit was reform to the Migration Act. 0:21:18.800 --> 0:21:22.119 Have a look. Do you think the. 0:21:22.200 --> 0:21:26.680 Migration Act should be amended so that anti submitted conduct 0:21:27.359 --> 0:21:29.280 is grounds to refuse. 0:21:29.040 --> 0:21:29.800 A new visa? 0:21:30.160 --> 0:21:32.680 Yes, without question. We've announced it will tighten up section 0:21:32.800 --> 0:21:34.800 five O one. I want to send a very clear 0:21:34.840 --> 0:21:38.000 message to people who hate us, hate our country, hate 0:21:38.320 --> 0:21:42.040 Jewish people, hate other segments of our society that's under 0:21:42.040 --> 0:21:44.080 a government dirily, they'll have no place in this country. 0:21:44.480 --> 0:21:45.960 We will reform the makeweak, we. 0:21:45.960 --> 0:21:47.479 Will reform the migration program. 0:21:49.359 --> 0:21:51.439 All right, to discuss this now, let's bring in Shadow 0:21:51.480 --> 0:21:54.560 Home Affairs Minister James Patterson live from the New Liberal 0:21:54.640 --> 0:21:58.000 Party headquarters in Paramatter. I suppose James, you were expecting 0:21:58.440 --> 0:22:01.199 an election this week, as campaign as we all were, 0:22:01.320 --> 0:22:05.359 hasn't pound out, But to start tonight, can you commit 0:22:06.440 --> 0:22:08.760 to or can you comment on how Darton and the 0:22:08.800 --> 0:22:11.280 Coalition is committing to all of our summit outcomes. 0:22:11.720 --> 0:22:16.159 If you win the next election, we'll char This was. 0:22:16.160 --> 0:22:18.720 A great active leadership by Sky News and the Executive 0:22:18.760 --> 0:22:22.600 Council of Australian Jury responding to genuine and deep community 0:22:22.680 --> 0:22:25.600 concern about the antisemitism crisis which has fested in our 0:22:25.600 --> 0:22:28.320 country over the last sixteen months. And frankly you had 0:22:28.880 --> 0:22:31.560 us at hello. We didn't require much persuading when we 0:22:31.640 --> 0:22:33.600 saw the list of proposals. We've gree with all of 0:22:33.640 --> 0:22:36.359 them in principle and we'll implement them in government. And 0:22:36.400 --> 0:22:39.000 it's particularly important that we implement those ideas around the 0:22:39.080 --> 0:22:41.639 migration system. As Peter said, some of those we'd already 0:22:41.640 --> 0:22:44.840 talked about already and others you've extended. And it's self 0:22:44.920 --> 0:22:47.919 evidently obvious that someone who's a guest in our country 0:22:48.040 --> 0:22:51.560 here on a visa, who has violated the principles of Australia, 0:22:51.880 --> 0:22:55.040
