WEBVTT - Sharri | 10 December

0:00:01.560 --> 0:00:05.519
<v Speaker 1>Why on Sky News. This is Sharry.

0:00:07.680 --> 0:00:09.280
<v Speaker 2>Good Evening. Welcome to the show.

0:00:09.560 --> 0:00:13.480
<v Speaker 3>Just three programs left before our Christmas break, so don't

0:00:13.520 --> 0:00:14.200
<v Speaker 3>miss a moment.

0:00:14.480 --> 0:00:15.680
<v Speaker 2>And it's a big show tonight.

0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:19.440
<v Speaker 3>I have an exclusive story Penny Wong accused of villifying

0:00:19.640 --> 0:00:23.400
<v Speaker 3>Israel and contributing to the climate of fear and anti

0:00:23.440 --> 0:00:28.319
<v Speaker 3>Semitism in Australia. James Patterson and Dave Sharma warn that

0:00:28.360 --> 0:00:31.720
<v Speaker 3>the Foreign Minister should tone down her language before this

0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:37.040
<v Speaker 3>situation gets even worse. Dave Sharma even accusing the Foreign

0:00:37.080 --> 0:00:40.320
<v Speaker 3>Minister of dog whistling. And he'll be on my show tonight.

0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:43.920
<v Speaker 3>That exclusive story coming up in a moment. Plus Just

0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:46.320
<v Speaker 3>Enterprise will be on the show live to speak about

0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:49.080
<v Speaker 3>Peter Dutton's vow not to stand in front of the

0:00:49.120 --> 0:00:53.880
<v Speaker 3>indigenous flag at press conferences. And why are some Americans

0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:58.600
<v Speaker 3>celebrating the man charged with the murder of the United

0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:00.520
<v Speaker 3>Healthcare See what.

0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:03.400
<v Speaker 2>Is wrong with this World? Also on the.

0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:07.280
<v Speaker 3>Show tonight, Brdwin, Bishop, Dave Sharma, Warren Hogan and when

0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:11.240
<v Speaker 3>we can expect rate cuts? Plus Israeli Deputy Foreign Affairs

0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:14.320
<v Speaker 3>Minister Sharon Haskell, She'll be on live and she's going

0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:17.839
<v Speaker 3>to respond to Penny Wong's comparison between.

0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:21.120
<v Speaker 2>Israel and China and Russia. That's all coming.

0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:25.880
<v Speaker 3>Up, but first to our exclusive story. Senior coalition figures

0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 3>are tonight accusing Penny Wong of dog whistling and creating

0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:34.679
<v Speaker 3>a climate of fear for Jewish Australians with her provocative

0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:39.800
<v Speaker 3>language against Israel. Both Shadow Home Affairs Minister James Patterson

0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:44.839
<v Speaker 3>and Liberal Senator Dave Sharma are urging Penniwong to tone

0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:48.280
<v Speaker 3>down her rhetoric and to stop fanning the flames of

0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:52.440
<v Speaker 3>anti Semitism. It's their strongest comments yet.

0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:55.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to show you them exclusively in just a moment.

0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 3>But it comes after Pennywog compare the liberal democracy of

0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:04.720
<v Speaker 3>Israel with evil dictatorships Russia and China.

0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:10.440
<v Speaker 4>We expect Russia to by international law and end it's

0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:14.320
<v Speaker 4>illegal and full scale war on Ukraine. We expect China

0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:17.440
<v Speaker 4>to buy by international legal decisions in the South China

0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:21.400
<v Speaker 4>see we expect Israel to bye by international law.

0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:26.320
<v Speaker 2>That is a new low, even for Penny Wog.

0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:30.640
<v Speaker 3>In a disgraceful speech, she also went from pretending to

0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:34.760
<v Speaker 3>care about anti Semitism to very quickly returning to her

0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:35.760
<v Speaker 3>favorite topic.

0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:38.720
<v Speaker 2>Of criticizing Israel well.

0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:42.119
<v Speaker 3>In response to Pennywong's speech, James Patterson told.

0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:44.080
<v Speaker 2>Me today that it's clear.

0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:48.760
<v Speaker 3>The Albanezy government has learned nothing from the terrorist attack

0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:51.040
<v Speaker 3>at a dash synagogue last week.

0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:53.600
<v Speaker 2>He said this and I quote for.

0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:58.080
<v Speaker 3>The Foreign Minister to compare Israel, a friendly, liberal democracy

0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:02.520
<v Speaker 3>to two authoritarians dates is an outrageous slur.

0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:03.840
<v Speaker 2>He said, it.

0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:09.120
<v Speaker 3>Continues Labour's campaign of vilification against the Jewish state and

0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:13.000
<v Speaker 3>contributes to the climate of fear Jewish Australians are feeling

0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:17.200
<v Speaker 3>right now. He said the Foreign Minister should tone down

0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:21.720
<v Speaker 3>her attacks on Israel before it gets even worse.

0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:23.320
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:27.600
<v Speaker 3>Dave Shama, who was Australia's former ambassador to Israel, he

0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:31.160
<v Speaker 3>also urged Pennywong to calm down her language, and he

0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:34.760
<v Speaker 3>even accused her of dog whistling. He's on the show

0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:37.160
<v Speaker 3>live tonight, but this is what he told me. He said,

0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:41.360
<v Speaker 3>and I quote, I think the government's actively seeking to

0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:45.800
<v Speaker 3>delegitimize and discredit Israel and the result is it's giving

0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:49.560
<v Speaker 3>license and encouragement to people who want to take matters

0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:53.880
<v Speaker 3>into their own hands and target Jewish Australians. He said,

0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:57.160
<v Speaker 3>it's effectively like a dog whistle, where on the one

0:03:57.240 --> 0:04:00.360
<v Speaker 3>hand they condemn anti Semitism, but on the the other

0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:02.000
<v Speaker 3>hand they fuel the.

0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:04.440
<v Speaker 2>Conditions which are giving rise to it.

0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:10.400
<v Speaker 3>Now, those are extremely strong remarks Dave Sharma, saying that

0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:15.480
<v Speaker 3>the Albanezi government and in particular Pennywog, fueling the conditions

0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:20.120
<v Speaker 3>that give rise to anti Semitism effectively like a dog whistle,

0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:22.760
<v Speaker 3>he says, and they're right.

0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:26.080
<v Speaker 2>Penniwong needs to stop demonizing.

0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:30.239
<v Speaker 3>Israel because provocative accusations are, in my view, in flaming

0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:35.760
<v Speaker 3>tensions and encouraging hatred towards Israel and thus Jews.

0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:37.680
<v Speaker 2>But it seems she.

0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:40.599
<v Speaker 3>Doesn't care about the impact her words are having on

0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:46.360
<v Speaker 3>anti Semitism. Albanesi and Pennywog are only emboldening the haters

0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:52.200
<v Speaker 3>with their wrong and unjust criticism of Israel. Their moral

0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:56.440
<v Speaker 3>confusion sends a green light to the aggressive pro Hamas

0:04:56.600 --> 0:05:02.880
<v Speaker 3>mob that's been targeting Jews. A synagogue has been firebombed,

0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:07.400
<v Speaker 3>and Pennywong and the others need to urgently tone down

0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:11.840
<v Speaker 3>their language. They should actively try and calm down tensions.

0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:15.880
<v Speaker 3>They could even try demand that our hostages are freed,

0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:19.760
<v Speaker 3>that the UN take action to help the Israeli women

0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:24.960
<v Speaker 3>currently sex slaves to terrorists in Gaza. They could also

0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:29.560
<v Speaker 3>demand that Harmas lays down arms. I doubt the Foreign

0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:34.279
<v Speaker 3>Minister is capable of such moral clarity, and it doesn't

0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:37.159
<v Speaker 3>seem like the Prime Minister is either, because it took

0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:40.440
<v Speaker 3>him four and a half days to visit the Addask

0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:43.760
<v Speaker 3>Synagogue in Melbourne after it was firebombed in the early

0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:48.440
<v Speaker 3>hours of Friday morning. Tennis was more important, Whining and

0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:53.040
<v Speaker 3>dining with labor lobbyists was more important. But finally today

0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:56.000
<v Speaker 3>the Prime Minister bothered to turn up and visit the

0:05:56.040 --> 0:06:00.800
<v Speaker 3>site of the terror attack. Albinizi was met with and

0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:03.160
<v Speaker 3>he shouldn't have been surprised by this, with a hostile

0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:08.640
<v Speaker 3>reaction from the local Orthodox Jewish community. One woman told

0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:12.600
<v Speaker 3>him his words were cheap and late. Another asked why

0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:16.279
<v Speaker 3>he'd played tennis instead of visiting earlier. There were also

0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:21.080
<v Speaker 3>questions about whether he was pro Palestinian now when alban

0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:24.719
<v Speaker 3>Easy arrived and I watched this closely, instead of saying

0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:27.880
<v Speaker 3>to the local community like I did when I went

0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:31.480
<v Speaker 3>there yesterday, I'm so sorry for what you've been through.

0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:35.560
<v Speaker 3>This is such a tough time, or words to that effect.

0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:41.280
<v Speaker 3>He said this in a jovial tone.

0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:46.600
<v Speaker 5>I went to my first bar mitzvah on Saturday.

0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:50.440
<v Speaker 3>I went to my first bar mitzvah on Saturday. Really,

0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:53.560
<v Speaker 3>do you want congratulations for that? Prime Minister? Muzzles of

0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:57.719
<v Speaker 3>Prime Minister? I mean, this was utterly tone deaf. The

0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:00.599
<v Speaker 3>a Dusk community is shell shocked. I can tell you

0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:04.279
<v Speaker 3>that the president of the synagogue told me he's been

0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:09.680
<v Speaker 3>unable to properly function. One worshiper had tears. This is

0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:13.040
<v Speaker 3>a grown man, tears rolling down his face when he

0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:14.440
<v Speaker 3>surveyed the damage inside.

0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:16.160
<v Speaker 2>Yesterday. I was there with him.

0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:19.920
<v Speaker 3>But Alban Eazy turns up and jokes that he's been

0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:24.720
<v Speaker 3>to his first bar mitzvah, And in fact I've confirmed

0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:27.360
<v Speaker 3>today he was only at the bar mitzvah in the

0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:32.840
<v Speaker 3>synagogue in Perth for literally twenty minutes. He wasn't invited,

0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:36.240
<v Speaker 3>as his office keeps insisting. He asked if he could

0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:41.000
<v Speaker 3>drop into the synagogue a publicity effort, and likewise, his

0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:43.520
<v Speaker 3>visit to a Dust synagogue today was very quick.

0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:45.200
<v Speaker 2>He came and left as soon as he could.

0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:48.360
<v Speaker 3>He spent the bare minimum time there, no questions, of course,

0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:52.600
<v Speaker 3>no interaction with the Jews who had legitimate questions for

0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:57.000
<v Speaker 3>him about why he'd failed to support our community. But

0:07:57.080 --> 0:07:59.800
<v Speaker 3>he was forced when he went inside the synagogue to

0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:00.600
<v Speaker 3>on front the.

0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:03.880
<v Speaker 2>Brutal reality of what his personal.

0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:07.600
<v Speaker 3>Lack of action on anti Semitism has led to a

0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:13.400
<v Speaker 3>destroyed place of worship, a Jewish community right around Australia reeling,

0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:18.880
<v Speaker 3>and Australians, good hearted Australians of all faiths aghast at

0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:23.560
<v Speaker 3>the Prime Minister's lack of moral clarity and his weakness,

0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:29.760
<v Speaker 3>and still his own senior ministers can't help but speak

0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:35.920
<v Speaker 3>about Islamophobia. This was ed Husick today, refusing to comment

0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:40.400
<v Speaker 3>on anti Semitism without mentioning his Lamophobia in this absolutely

0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:43.440
<v Speaker 3>extraordinary exchange with Kieren Gilbert.

0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:48.160
<v Speaker 6>Should the government have done more to stop anti Semitism? Well,

0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:51.880
<v Speaker 6>I think because every week you're seeing a protest in Melbourne.

0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:54.760
<v Speaker 6>Hate symbols have been used at many of the protests.

0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:57.600
<v Speaker 6>Is this a slippery slide that we're seeing this thing

0:08:57.760 --> 0:08:58.720
<v Speaker 6>just get worse and worse.

0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:02.800
<v Speaker 7>I think we should always be on the lookout for

0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:07.640
<v Speaker 7>things that are used to make people cower or fear,

0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:11.040
<v Speaker 7>or prevent them from being able to live their daily lives.

0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:15.800
<v Speaker 7>So be it any Semitism or Islamophobia or anything else

0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:19.280
<v Speaker 7>where people are singled out because of a particular attribute,

0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:20.640
<v Speaker 7>we shouldn't be going there.

0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:25.120
<v Speaker 6>The governments are criticized for always linking saying any Semitism

0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:29.200
<v Speaker 6>alongside Islamophobia. James Patterson says, that's part of the problem,

0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:31.720
<v Speaker 6>that you should just call out any Semitism for what

0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:33.679
<v Speaker 6>it is, because it's worse now than anything else.

0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:36.360
<v Speaker 7>Sorry, So should we turn a blind eye to Islamophobia?

0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:39.080
<v Speaker 7>Is that what the coalition's saying, Because the coalition has

0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:42.120
<v Speaker 7>front benches who have said Islamophobia is not a problem,

0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:43.880
<v Speaker 7>which is just ridiculous.

0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:48.440
<v Speaker 3>And this went on and Onny try to compare one

0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:52.160
<v Speaker 3>incident some time ago to this terror attack, the fire

0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:56.760
<v Speaker 3>bombing of the synagogue. It was truly unbelievable that ed

0:09:56.880 --> 0:10:01.120
<v Speaker 3>Husick could continue to downplay the anti Semitary crisis like this.

0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:04.000
<v Speaker 3>And by the way, his comments came literally at the

0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:07.560
<v Speaker 3>same time as Albinizi was at the Adoust synagogue that

0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:11.760
<v Speaker 3>was firebombed. But this follows Chris Bowen just yesterday, also

0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:14.679
<v Speaker 3>speaking about Islamophobia.

0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:18.360
<v Speaker 8>He said that they shouldn't be that Islamophobia shouldn't be

0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:21.040
<v Speaker 8>mentioned in the same sentence as the Prime Minister has done.

0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:24.400
<v Speaker 8>If James Patterson thinks there's no Islamophobia in Australia, he's wrong.

0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:27.800
<v Speaker 9>He didn't say that, though, He said that when something happens,

0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:31.120
<v Speaker 9>it should be enough to just denounce anti Semitism, and he.

0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:33.560
<v Speaker 8>Went on to say that they're not at the same levels.

0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:34.839
<v Speaker 10>Look, but the.

0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:36.679
<v Speaker 9>Poilamatory many are you saying they are at the same

0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:39.319
<v Speaker 9>levels because we've just seen a targeted attack on a synagogue.

0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:41.800
<v Speaker 8>I'm saying, Patricia, that both exist and I'm saying that

0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:42.920
<v Speaker 8>both can be called out.

0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:49.160
<v Speaker 3>Not even the Prime Minister can unequivocally condemn anti Semitism

0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:52.240
<v Speaker 3>as a major threat facing the nation right now, worse

0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:53.240
<v Speaker 3>than Islamophobia.

0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:58.200
<v Speaker 11>Have a look, is anti Semitism a bigger problem than Islamophobia?

0:10:58.760 --> 0:10:59.559
<v Speaker 1>Islamophobia?

0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:04.600
<v Speaker 5>I think it's well, any Semitism is a major threat,

0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:07.559
<v Speaker 5>and any Semitism has been.

0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:08.120
<v Speaker 10>On the rise.

0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:12.760
<v Speaker 3>I mean they're all gas lighting the Jewish community. The

0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:15.480
<v Speaker 3>Labor defense of their lack of action on anti Semitism

0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:20.079
<v Speaker 3>has today been to accuse Peter Dutton of playing politics.

0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:25.200
<v Speaker 7>Peter Dutton is that he has a political strategy which

0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:28.720
<v Speaker 7>is a very divisive political strategy and that's not leadership.

0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:32.200
<v Speaker 6>There is nothing that Peter Dutton won't seek to politicize

0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:33.440
<v Speaker 6>and divide our community.

0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:35.520
<v Speaker 7>O Peter Dutton decided that it was more important to

0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:37.240
<v Speaker 7>play partisan games.

0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:42.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's Labor that's playing politics here, continuing to focus

0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:47.800
<v Speaker 3>on Islamophobia whilst synagogues burn. It's Labor that's playing politics,

0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:52.720
<v Speaker 3>posturing to Muslim communities in marginal seats instead of governing

0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:56.880
<v Speaker 3>for all Australia. And Labor is playing politics by their

0:11:56.920 --> 0:12:02.160
<v Speaker 3>obsession with United Nations votes, seats for buyers and criticizing Israel.

0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:04.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, this is all very wrong.

0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:09.400
<v Speaker 3>They shouldn't put politics ahead of community safety. The Abanese

0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:13.400
<v Speaker 3>government needs to focus on their own backyard, their actual job,

0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:17.760
<v Speaker 3>instead of interfering in a foreign war. Well, if the

0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:21.520
<v Speaker 3>Prime Minister and his team of pro Palestinian activists actually

0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:25.520
<v Speaker 3>cared about antisemitism, here's six things that I think they

0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:25.920
<v Speaker 3>should do.

0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:28.280
<v Speaker 2>Firstly, race hate laws.

0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:32.520
<v Speaker 3>They need to arrest the perpetrators who are perpetuating violence

0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:37.400
<v Speaker 3>and hatred, not keep arresting the innocent Jewish bystanders in

0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:41.560
<v Speaker 3>case their very being is provocative to the haters. Secondly,

0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:45.040
<v Speaker 3>we do need a national permit system for protests. We

0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:48.840
<v Speaker 3>need to ban protests if they intimidate the Jewish community.

0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:53.640
<v Speaker 3>That means no protests outside synagogues or outside Jewish homes,

0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:58.640
<v Speaker 3>because those protests merely attack people of Jewish faith. It's

0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:01.600
<v Speaker 3>got nothing to do with the Middle Least war. They

0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:05.880
<v Speaker 3>need to stop provocative public criticism of Israel that fans

0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:08.920
<v Speaker 3>the flames of anti Semitism. As we've been speaking about,

0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:14.800
<v Speaker 3>words matter, calm down the tensions. Number four, they need

0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:18.920
<v Speaker 3>to announce a judicial inquiry into antisemitism on university campuses.

0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:22.560
<v Speaker 3>They voted this down when Julie and Lisa put it forward.

0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:27.280
<v Speaker 3>Number five, the Prime Minister should instruct law enforcement to

0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:30.040
<v Speaker 3>use the full force of the law and the powers

0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:33.800
<v Speaker 3>available to them to crack down on anti Semitic incidents.

0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:37.959
<v Speaker 3>And number six, and this is on migration. They need

0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:42.480
<v Speaker 3>to ensure that proha mus antisemit anti Semites aren't being

0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:47.200
<v Speaker 3>flown into our country only to erode our Australian values.

0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:53.120
<v Speaker 3>Well that's my six things that I think the Abnezi

0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:55.400
<v Speaker 3>government needs to do right now that would make a

0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:59.480
<v Speaker 3>tangible difference to our way of life. Pretty simple, none

0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:03.520
<v Speaker 3>of them complicated. They can be done today now. I

0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:05.679
<v Speaker 3>thought there was an excellent column in The Australian Today

0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:08.760
<v Speaker 3>by columnist Claire Lehman, and she put it well when

0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:12.560
<v Speaker 3>she said that the Albanezy government has failed to move

0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:16.600
<v Speaker 3>beyond platitudes or the Prime Minister has failed to conveil

0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:20.760
<v Speaker 3>authority on an issue that requires leadership. And she writes

0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:24.880
<v Speaker 3>that since the horrific Upper House rally, Albanezi has followed

0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:28.520
<v Speaker 3>the model of indifference shown by the New South Wales Police.

0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:32.480
<v Speaker 3>He says antisemitism has no place in Australia while anti

0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:37.200
<v Speaker 3>Israel protesters freely demonstrate in front of synagogues. He takes

0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:41.200
<v Speaker 3>no responsibility for surging attacks on Jews while undermining the

0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:45.520
<v Speaker 3>world's only Jewish state. And she makes the excellent point

0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:49.040
<v Speaker 3>that many political and also corporate leaders who claim the

0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:53.640
<v Speaker 3>moral high ground on other issues, have been silent on

0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:59.720
<v Speaker 3>anti Semitism. She writes, rushing to champion indigenous and LGBTQA

0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:04.280
<v Speaker 3>plus issues, our left leaning leaders for mute when confronting

0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:09.000
<v Speaker 3>violent hatred directed at Jewish Australians. She says the vicious

0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:12.080
<v Speaker 3>hatred may come from a militant few, but it's the

0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:16.680
<v Speaker 3>silent majority, particularly those in positions of power and influence

0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:21.320
<v Speaker 3>who let it spread. And that's why James Patterson and

0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:25.520
<v Speaker 3>Dave Sharma are tonight urging the Foreign Minister to stop

0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:30.840
<v Speaker 3>trying to discredit Israel because this language is only giving

0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:34.520
<v Speaker 3>license to the Jew haters to continue their mission of

0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:43.200
<v Speaker 3>intimidation and persecution. And as I said, Dave Sharma will

0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:45.280
<v Speaker 3>be on the show a bit later, but now let's

0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:48.200
<v Speaker 3>get reaction from former Speaker of the House Bronman Bishop

0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:50.520
<v Speaker 3>and Sky News contributor Joe Hildebrand.

0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:53.720
<v Speaker 2>Welcome show, Bromwin.

0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:56.640
<v Speaker 3>The Prime Minister was playing tennis, he was meeting with

0:15:56.880 --> 0:15:57.800
<v Speaker 3>labored donors.

0:15:57.840 --> 0:15:59.600
<v Speaker 2>He's had his eye off the ball on this.

0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:03.720
<v Speaker 12>The Prime Minister is incapable of leading. As a fact

0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:06.120
<v Speaker 12>I've said again and again, he was never ever talked

0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:07.240
<v Speaker 12>about as being a leader.

0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:09.600
<v Speaker 2>He is not capable of leading.

0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:13.720
<v Speaker 12>But what he and Pennywong are doing is to allow

0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:18.720
<v Speaker 12>the normalization of anti Semitic behavior so that people will

0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:22.080
<v Speaker 12>not react to it. And when Hitler became Chancellor in

0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:25.040
<v Speaker 12>Germany in nineteen thirty three, the first thing they did

0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:27.720
<v Speaker 12>was to go to the universities to make sure that

0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:32.400
<v Speaker 12>they accepted the normalization of the hatred of Jews. We've

0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:35.520
<v Speaker 12>seen what's happened on our campuses. It is because there

0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:39.040
<v Speaker 12>is no leadership here that is said, this is untenable.

0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:44.200
<v Speaker 12>It must not happen. Get away with this word unacceptable.

0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:47.360
<v Speaker 12>Action needs to be taking, something has to be done

0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:50.720
<v Speaker 12>to prevent it, and that means that leaders have to

0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:54.080
<v Speaker 12>take a strong stance. And this man is incapable of it,

0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:58.280
<v Speaker 12>absolutely incapable. And the gains at Pennyway.

0:16:58.080 --> 0:16:59.080
<v Speaker 2>Because he's weak.

0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:01.560
<v Speaker 3>So he's incapable of leadership on any issue. Or do

0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:04.879
<v Speaker 3>you think it's because of his past pro Palestinian.

0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:07.239
<v Speaker 12>Combination of both. He was always a part of a

0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:09.960
<v Speaker 12>mob when he was doing that. Now he's in a

0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:13.800
<v Speaker 12>leadership position, incapable except when he wants to put in

0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:19.399
<v Speaker 12>a new candidate. Little pleas ins faction. So it's not

0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:22.560
<v Speaker 12>good enough anymore to say, oh, look he finally went

0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:26.560
<v Speaker 12>to that synagogue in Melbourne. He should have gone there

0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:29.679
<v Speaker 12>before he went to Perse. He's got his own plane,

0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:30.680
<v Speaker 12>for God's sake, you him.

0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:32.600
<v Speaker 1>Do it, Joe.

0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:36.040
<v Speaker 3>He's been to a bar Mitz for now though, congratulations Albow.

0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:38.200
<v Speaker 13>I think part of the I mean, if you compare

0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:41.720
<v Speaker 13>and contrast the responses to the same problem by Anthony

0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:43.959
<v Speaker 13>Abernezer and Chris Mins. I think you see the difference

0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:48.480
<v Speaker 13>between someone who has a long history in the right

0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:51.600
<v Speaker 13>of the Labor Party and instinctively knows what to do

0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:55.159
<v Speaker 13>and knows to do it, knows what to do immediately,

0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:57.440
<v Speaker 13>and then you have someone like Anthony Alberineze I think,

0:17:57.440 --> 0:18:00.880
<v Speaker 13>to his credit, is genuinely trying to govern and from

0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:03.840
<v Speaker 13>the center and genuinely believes himself to be a centrist.

0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:05.680
<v Speaker 13>I can tell you that is what I can promise

0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:09.320
<v Speaker 13>you that is what he genuinely believes. But it is

0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:11.440
<v Speaker 13>something he doesn't have a great deal of practicing, a

0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:13.960
<v Speaker 13>great deal of experience in, and so something that would

0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:17.159
<v Speaker 13>be completely obvious to you people of the center to

0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:19.560
<v Speaker 13>get on a plane go straight to the Syneagogue he had,

0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:22.199
<v Speaker 13>or to call it a terror attack, or to you know,

0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:25.399
<v Speaker 13>to establish an AFP task forces to anti Semitism, and

0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:25.880
<v Speaker 13>to know when.

0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:28.320
<v Speaker 3>He says some of his adviser is telling him this

0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:29.240
<v Speaker 3>as well.

0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:29.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure.

0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:32.600
<v Speaker 13>I'm yeah, Look, I'm not sure about the quality of

0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:34.520
<v Speaker 13>the advice that he's getting on some of these issues.

0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:35.920
<v Speaker 1>I know there's a couple of people.

0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:38.720
<v Speaker 13>In his office who are very good and there's probably

0:18:38.720 --> 0:18:42.200
<v Speaker 13>one or two who I don't know why. I would

0:18:42.560 --> 0:18:44.479
<v Speaker 13>never name names, but I would not know why they

0:18:44.520 --> 0:18:45.480
<v Speaker 13>were there in first place.

0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:47.000
<v Speaker 1>But I do it.

0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:50.560
<v Speaker 3>But and Chris Mens, though his instincts, his heart in

0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:51.240
<v Speaker 3>the right place.

0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:52.840
<v Speaker 2>Someone video to speech.

0:18:52.880 --> 0:18:56.280
<v Speaker 3>He gave it Central Synagogue in Sydney on Friday night, and.

0:18:56.560 --> 0:18:58.480
<v Speaker 2>He really gets you could just see ye.

0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:00.560
<v Speaker 3>He speaks from the heart when he talks about this,

0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:02.879
<v Speaker 3>and he doesn't shy away, you know, he says, I

0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:04.040
<v Speaker 3>take responsibility.

0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:05.040
<v Speaker 2>We haven't done enough.

0:19:06.040 --> 0:19:06.240
<v Speaker 14>You know.

0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:07.680
<v Speaker 3>I try and get him on the show. I don't

0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:08.760
<v Speaker 3>know why he doesn't come in the show.

0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:12.480
<v Speaker 12>He could direct he's police minister to make sure the

0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:13.280
<v Speaker 12>police act.

0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:15.560
<v Speaker 2>Yes, they haven't been. I agree with you.

0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:18.840
<v Speaker 1>He's introducing new laws very well.

0:19:19.359 --> 0:19:21.359
<v Speaker 12>He means to be mister nice guy and get up

0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:24.080
<v Speaker 12>there and say all the right things. But until he

0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:28.920
<v Speaker 12>gets control of that police minister and makes her either

0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:31.479
<v Speaker 12>be moved aside and someone else put in so that

0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:34.440
<v Speaker 12>the police actually act as they should have done at

0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:37.199
<v Speaker 12>the opera House right from the beginning, or even the

0:19:37.240 --> 0:19:38.760
<v Speaker 12>other night in Elizabeth Street.

0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:42.200
<v Speaker 13>But he's introducing new laws so the police have clear

0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:43.919
<v Speaker 13>grounds to be able to do that, and that is

0:19:43.960 --> 0:19:45.119
<v Speaker 13>something has doing.

0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:47.639
<v Speaker 3>Outside of synagogue or places of worship. You know, he

0:19:48.040 --> 0:19:50.199
<v Speaker 3>recognizes the problem and he moves to act on it.

0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:53.520
<v Speaker 3>And I think absolutely protest should have been bound outside

0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:56.520
<v Speaker 3>places of worship a long time ago. Let's move on

0:19:56.800 --> 0:20:00.359
<v Speaker 3>to this extraordinary story coming out of New York. Police

0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:05.160
<v Speaker 3>have arrested and charged Luigi Mangioni with a shocking public

0:20:05.440 --> 0:20:09.080
<v Speaker 3>murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Now, this is

0:20:09.119 --> 0:20:12.080
<v Speaker 3>a twenty six year old He was recognized by an

0:20:12.080 --> 0:20:16.280
<v Speaker 3>employee at McDonald's in Pennsylvania, who then called the police.

0:20:16.800 --> 0:20:18.560
<v Speaker 13>But I think, what's employee of the month. I have

0:20:18.640 --> 0:20:20.560
<v Speaker 13>to say, what an extraordinary.

0:20:19.960 --> 0:20:22.520
<v Speaker 2>Effort employee of the world from McDonald's.

0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:26.640
<v Speaker 3>But so absurd about this is how some Americans we've

0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:31.439
<v Speaker 3>seen this on social media are now idolizing this assassin.

0:20:31.720 --> 0:20:35.120
<v Speaker 3>They're worshiping him as a hero because of some bizarre

0:20:35.359 --> 0:20:38.440
<v Speaker 3>anti corporate sentiment in the United States.

0:20:39.240 --> 0:20:44.320
<v Speaker 12>This man is a socialist, he is revolutionary in that

0:20:44.440 --> 0:20:50.480
<v Speaker 12>sense his behavior and the man is charged is yet

0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:53.399
<v Speaker 12>to be tried in the court of law, and he

0:20:53.440 --> 0:20:56.480
<v Speaker 12>hasn't pleaded, so we don't know what situation that is.

0:20:56.520 --> 0:20:59.359
<v Speaker 12>But if he is found to be guilty and the

0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:03.399
<v Speaker 12>manifest that he put out that he is a socialist.

0:21:03.720 --> 0:21:07.200
<v Speaker 12>And this is what happens when elites. If it is him,

0:21:07.400 --> 0:21:12.359
<v Speaker 12>the elite upbringing, he is captured by the socialist doctrines,

0:21:12.920 --> 0:21:14.840
<v Speaker 12>then that's when they start to go off the whales.

0:21:15.320 --> 0:21:17.960
<v Speaker 12>And it doesn't matter whether it's the Marxist doctrine or

0:21:18.000 --> 0:21:22.600
<v Speaker 12>the National Socialist doctrine, or the Hotel or the Chinese

0:21:23.240 --> 0:21:27.120
<v Speaker 12>Communist Party doctrine. It is all socialism and the end

0:21:27.480 --> 0:21:30.400
<v Speaker 12>is inevitable, so we have.

0:21:30.440 --> 0:21:31.240
<v Speaker 1>To be very careful.

0:21:31.280 --> 0:21:33.919
<v Speaker 12>They're the same sort of people who were would be

0:21:33.920 --> 0:21:36.800
<v Speaker 12>assassin's of Donald Trump, same sort of people.

0:21:36.960 --> 0:21:37.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's terrifying.

0:21:38.240 --> 0:21:41.960
<v Speaker 3>Joe, as Bardwin just mentioned, he did have a privileged upbringing,

0:21:41.960 --> 0:21:46.119
<v Speaker 3>we socialist thing more about his background, went to an

0:21:46.160 --> 0:21:47.280
<v Speaker 3>Ivy League school.

0:21:47.680 --> 0:21:50.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean, this is just such a shocking, bizarre stoctor.

0:21:50.800 --> 0:21:54.920
<v Speaker 13>People seem to think that socialism or socialist radicals are

0:21:54.960 --> 0:21:57.439
<v Speaker 13>people who appear organically from the working class.

0:21:57.920 --> 0:21:59.639
<v Speaker 1>That is not true. That is not true.

0:22:00.119 --> 0:22:04.679
<v Speaker 13>Socialism is an agree with Bondman. Socialism is an incredibly

0:22:04.920 --> 0:22:08.320
<v Speaker 13>dangerous and violent doctrine, and it is one that is

0:22:08.359 --> 0:22:13.000
<v Speaker 13>deliberately imposed upon people from the top down. Carl Martz

0:22:13.119 --> 0:22:15.720
<v Speaker 13>came from a family of lawyers who owned vineyards. Frederick

0:22:15.800 --> 0:22:20.439
<v Speaker 13>Engel's family literally owned factories that the workers worked in

0:22:20.640 --> 0:22:23.919
<v Speaker 13>and between them, these guys wrote the Communist manifesto and

0:22:23.960 --> 0:22:26.159
<v Speaker 13>told the workers what was good for them, what was

0:22:26.200 --> 0:22:30.280
<v Speaker 13>in their interest. These are hopelessly misguided people. They are

0:22:30.359 --> 0:22:33.800
<v Speaker 13>ideologues for whom the ideology and the theory is more

0:22:33.840 --> 0:22:37.720
<v Speaker 13>important than any individual human life, and that all human.

0:22:37.480 --> 0:22:40.119
<v Speaker 3>Life get to this case, a twenty six year a

0:22:40.920 --> 0:22:45.040
<v Speaker 3>young guy waits for hours and hours outside it for.

0:22:45.000 --> 0:22:47.840
<v Speaker 1>The cause, for the cause that's right, because they.

0:22:47.760 --> 0:22:50.960
<v Speaker 2>Believe that people are imbued with that belief side.

0:22:50.840 --> 0:22:53.080
<v Speaker 1>For the cause that's right. What happens absolutely true.

0:22:52.880 --> 0:22:55.400
<v Speaker 12>To the cause, and the people who are now feeling

0:22:56.040 --> 0:22:58.600
<v Speaker 12>some sort of empathy towards this man are of the

0:22:58.640 --> 0:23:01.920
<v Speaker 12>same ilk. Which is why it is so important, why

0:23:01.960 --> 0:23:05.679
<v Speaker 12>it is desperately important that we can take control of

0:23:05.720 --> 0:23:08.679
<v Speaker 12>the sorts of things that are taught in our institutions,

0:23:09.160 --> 0:23:13.560
<v Speaker 12>because we saw, we've seen what's happened when the curriculum

0:23:13.680 --> 0:23:16.760
<v Speaker 12>is such that the behavior that was tolerated with those

0:23:16.960 --> 0:23:21.840
<v Speaker 12>demonstrations in our universities and the violence that was together

0:23:21.920 --> 0:23:22.240
<v Speaker 12>with it.

0:23:22.680 --> 0:23:24.840
<v Speaker 2>This is what happens. I mean.

0:23:24.880 --> 0:23:27.320
<v Speaker 3>There's also, of course the issue of gun laws in

0:23:27.359 --> 0:23:27.880
<v Speaker 3>the States.

0:23:28.240 --> 0:23:30.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's right, and look we need to deal with that.

0:23:30.160 --> 0:23:32.840
<v Speaker 13>And strangely, the left hasn't been outraged about the proliferation

0:23:32.920 --> 0:23:36.399
<v Speaker 13>of arms on this person's body allegedly. But again, it

0:23:36.560 --> 0:23:43.160
<v Speaker 13>is people, I think, romanticizing what is fundamentally a simplistic, stupid,

0:23:43.560 --> 0:23:44.359
<v Speaker 13>dangerous and.

0:23:44.320 --> 0:23:46.480
<v Speaker 1>Ultimately violent ideology.

0:23:46.520 --> 0:23:48.000
<v Speaker 13>It's the people who wear the shape of our T

0:23:48.160 --> 0:23:50.640
<v Speaker 13>shirts and saying this is all just this is all

0:23:50.680 --> 0:23:52.720
<v Speaker 13>just fun and games. We run around at UNI and

0:23:52.760 --> 0:23:55.320
<v Speaker 13>we say these things and down with capitalism and fight

0:23:55.400 --> 0:23:58.000
<v Speaker 13>the power and you know, tear down the page bell whatever, whatever.

0:23:58.600 --> 0:24:01.840
<v Speaker 13>And there are people out there who probably have some

0:24:02.680 --> 0:24:05.280
<v Speaker 13>bad wiring in their brains, but they take all this

0:24:05.320 --> 0:24:10.320
<v Speaker 13>stuff like all fundamentalists, like you know, Islamic extremists, white supremacists,

0:24:10.400 --> 0:24:13.880
<v Speaker 13>like all extrememists, like all fundamentalists. They take this stuff literally.

0:24:14.119 --> 0:24:16.159
<v Speaker 13>Then they take matters into their own hands. And this

0:24:16.280 --> 0:24:19.040
<v Speaker 13>is what happens. It's no different to you know, a

0:24:19.200 --> 0:24:20.680
<v Speaker 13>live streaming of the massacre at.

0:24:20.600 --> 0:24:23.280
<v Speaker 12>De monscohere not lacking in brain part because you alleterally

0:24:23.359 --> 0:24:24.120
<v Speaker 12>printed the gun.

0:24:25.280 --> 0:24:27.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Well, that's right. He's a Friday and printer. But

0:24:27.800 --> 0:24:28.120
<v Speaker 1>I think.

0:24:29.560 --> 0:24:31.760
<v Speaker 3>I don't understand how those three D printers were all right,

0:24:31.800 --> 0:24:34.080
<v Speaker 3>Brow and Bishop Joe Hude Brand, it's been great to

0:24:34.080 --> 0:24:36.280
<v Speaker 3>have you on the show. This cross is our last

0:24:36.320 --> 0:24:37.639
<v Speaker 3>week before the Christmas break.

0:24:38.359 --> 0:24:40.479
<v Speaker 2>Find that I agree with you, Brobin. Sometimes it's been

0:24:40.520 --> 0:24:41.000
<v Speaker 2>more than I do.

0:24:41.280 --> 0:24:43.960
<v Speaker 13>I know it's funny like that, but that's the celebration

0:24:44.000 --> 0:24:45.480
<v Speaker 13>of ideas the context.

0:24:45.480 --> 0:24:48.760
<v Speaker 2>Christy, Yes, indeed we Christmas. Yeah.

0:24:49.640 --> 0:24:52.520
<v Speaker 3>Well, speaking of Christmas, there was no Christmas miracle from

0:24:52.520 --> 0:24:53.480
<v Speaker 3>the IBA today.

0:24:53.720 --> 0:24:55.440
<v Speaker 2>It was their final meeting for the year.

0:24:55.560 --> 0:24:57.960
<v Speaker 3>They left the cash trade and hold at four point

0:24:58.000 --> 0:25:03.159
<v Speaker 3>three five percent, unsurprising, of course, because underlying inflation is

0:25:03.200 --> 0:25:06.760
<v Speaker 3>still above the RBA's target at three point five percent.

0:25:07.280 --> 0:25:09.880
<v Speaker 3>Here was the Governor, Michelle Bullock speaking earlier.

0:25:10.840 --> 0:25:13.600
<v Speaker 9>The board needs to be confident that inflation is moving

0:25:13.640 --> 0:25:17.240
<v Speaker 9>sustainably towards the target and for this to occur, we

0:25:17.320 --> 0:25:20.640
<v Speaker 9>need to see more progress on underlying inflation coming down.

0:25:21.840 --> 0:25:24.920
<v Speaker 3>Okay, let's bring in now Judo Bank Chief Economic Advisor

0:25:24.960 --> 0:25:25.719
<v Speaker 3>Warren Hogan.

0:25:25.760 --> 0:25:27.040
<v Speaker 2>Warren, good to see you again.

0:25:27.400 --> 0:25:31.560
<v Speaker 3>Look, was there anything you found particularly different or surprising

0:25:31.680 --> 0:25:34.240
<v Speaker 3>from what the RBA governor had to say today.

0:25:35.600 --> 0:25:37.880
<v Speaker 15>Yeah, Hi, Sherry, I think we saw a pretty big

0:25:37.920 --> 0:25:41.880
<v Speaker 15>shift today. They didn't move the right, but they did

0:25:42.000 --> 0:25:46.120
<v Speaker 15>change the policy statement and the language and the implied

0:25:46.200 --> 0:25:51.400
<v Speaker 15>guidance from that. They've removed all references to the risk

0:25:51.680 --> 0:25:57.080
<v Speaker 15>of upside surprises in inflation, and they're talking about that

0:25:57.080 --> 0:25:59.879
<v Speaker 15>they're getting more comfortable with the outlook. The market is

0:26:00.359 --> 0:26:04.280
<v Speaker 15>completely run with this, of course, and has seen the

0:26:04.359 --> 0:26:07.000
<v Speaker 15>pricing in financial markets move to price in a rate

0:26:07.040 --> 0:26:12.080
<v Speaker 15>cup for February fully priced for April. I think that's

0:26:12.119 --> 0:26:16.240
<v Speaker 15>a bit of an overreaction, but I think the Board

0:26:16.400 --> 0:26:19.280
<v Speaker 15>is clearly wanting to pull back on the rhetoric of

0:26:19.280 --> 0:26:22.439
<v Speaker 15>the last six months, that is trying to draw by

0:26:22.560 --> 0:26:26.080
<v Speaker 15>the economy that is, get an effect of higher rates

0:26:26.119 --> 0:26:28.480
<v Speaker 15>without actually having the high rates.

0:26:28.960 --> 0:26:32.080
<v Speaker 3>You just said then that a rate cut in February

0:26:32.200 --> 0:26:34.320
<v Speaker 3>or even in the first quarridor of next year was

0:26:34.359 --> 0:26:39.200
<v Speaker 3>probably too optimistic. I mean, realistically, when do you think

0:26:39.680 --> 0:26:41.840
<v Speaker 3>we could expect a rate cut.

0:26:43.560 --> 0:26:47.240
<v Speaker 15>It's very uncertain, and of course with this guidance, it's

0:26:47.280 --> 0:26:49.159
<v Speaker 15>going to play to a lot of views that are

0:26:49.200 --> 0:26:52.760
<v Speaker 15>already out there that the economy is weak, that a

0:26:52.760 --> 0:26:55.840
<v Speaker 15>lot of economists have this rate cup in their forecast.

0:26:57.800 --> 0:27:01.479
<v Speaker 15>I think that they're still very much on because the

0:27:01.520 --> 0:27:05.080
<v Speaker 15>reality of our economy is, as you showed, inflation is

0:27:05.080 --> 0:27:08.240
<v Speaker 15>still above target, and as the governor said and you showed,

0:27:09.040 --> 0:27:11.440
<v Speaker 15>they are not going to cut rates until not only

0:27:11.480 --> 0:27:14.679
<v Speaker 15>are they confident inflation is back to target, but it

0:27:14.720 --> 0:27:17.080
<v Speaker 15>will stay there. And I still think that's a long

0:27:17.160 --> 0:27:20.639
<v Speaker 15>way off. So there's a big break now until the

0:27:20.680 --> 0:27:23.800
<v Speaker 15>next meeting almost ten weeks, and we're going to have

0:27:23.840 --> 0:27:25.680
<v Speaker 15>a lot of data between now and then.

0:27:26.960 --> 0:27:30.440
<v Speaker 3>I can definitely no chance of a February rate cut,

0:27:30.480 --> 0:27:33.639
<v Speaker 3>because I know that the Labor Party is hoping that

0:27:33.680 --> 0:27:35.760
<v Speaker 3>there will be a rate cut in February that can

0:27:35.800 --> 0:27:38.400
<v Speaker 3>announce the federal election campaign off the back of that

0:27:38.800 --> 0:27:40.400
<v Speaker 3>and claim that the.

0:27:39.960 --> 0:27:41.680
<v Speaker 2>Cost of living crisis is over.

0:27:43.480 --> 0:27:46.679
<v Speaker 15>Yeah, well, you certainly can't rule it out. And I

0:27:46.680 --> 0:27:49.760
<v Speaker 15>think if we see a significant shift in the economy

0:27:50.760 --> 0:27:52.960
<v Speaker 15>in the next few months, it could happen. But I'm

0:27:53.000 --> 0:27:55.480
<v Speaker 15>not expecting to see that. If anything, we're getting signs

0:27:55.480 --> 0:27:58.840
<v Speaker 15>that consumer spending's picking up, and of course I think

0:27:58.840 --> 0:28:00.840
<v Speaker 15>the risk with that is that the move will be

0:28:00.920 --> 0:28:03.879
<v Speaker 15>interpreted as political and that's of course very damaging for

0:28:03.920 --> 0:28:07.440
<v Speaker 15>their credibility and Australia's reputation internationally. So look, I don't

0:28:07.440 --> 0:28:09.000
<v Speaker 15>think we'll get a rate cut in February. I think

0:28:09.000 --> 0:28:11.320
<v Speaker 15>the government pushed back in the press conference on that,

0:28:11.880 --> 0:28:14.280
<v Speaker 15>and I still think that they're unlikely to go before

0:28:14.359 --> 0:28:17.639
<v Speaker 15>May because I think our economy is actually going to

0:28:17.680 --> 0:28:19.200
<v Speaker 15>be picking up a bit at place going into the

0:28:19.240 --> 0:28:19.680
<v Speaker 15>new year.

0:28:20.280 --> 0:28:22.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, all right, Warren Hogan, thank you very much for

0:28:22.640 --> 0:28:23.000
<v Speaker 2>your time.

0:28:24.280 --> 0:28:26.439
<v Speaker 3>Now still to come, just center Price would join me

0:28:26.600 --> 0:28:30.160
<v Speaker 3>after Peter Dutton's pledge to drop the Aboriginal flag from

0:28:30.240 --> 0:28:35.080
<v Speaker 3>press conferences, plus Pennywong accused of vilifying Israel and fanning

0:28:35.119 --> 0:28:36.680
<v Speaker 3>the flames of anti Semitism.

0:28:37.119 --> 0:28:41.040
<v Speaker 2>Dave Sharma would join me next after this quick break,

0:28:44.560 --> 0:28:45.120
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back.

0:28:45.400 --> 0:28:48.760
<v Speaker 3>As we've been speaking about tonight, Foreign Minister Pennywong has

0:28:48.960 --> 0:28:54.360
<v Speaker 3>outrageously compared the liberal democracy of Israel to dictatorships Russia

0:28:54.440 --> 0:28:58.640
<v Speaker 3>and China. Israel, which is under existential threat as.

0:28:58.440 --> 0:28:59.959
<v Speaker 2>It fights for its survivor.

0:29:00.720 --> 0:29:04.720
<v Speaker 3>Now these are inflammatory remarks when anti Semitism.

0:29:04.440 --> 0:29:05.400
<v Speaker 2>Is at fever pitch.

0:29:06.040 --> 0:29:08.520
<v Speaker 3>As I've told you tonight, Shadow Home Affairs Minister James

0:29:08.560 --> 0:29:13.400
<v Speaker 3>Patterson told me today that pennywong slur continues Labour's campaign

0:29:13.480 --> 0:29:17.280
<v Speaker 3>of vilification against the Jewish state. He said it contributes

0:29:17.640 --> 0:29:20.200
<v Speaker 3>to the climate of fear that Jewish Australians are feeling

0:29:20.280 --> 0:29:23.800
<v Speaker 3>right now. And I brought you liberal Senator and Australia's

0:29:24.000 --> 0:29:28.080
<v Speaker 3>former ambassador to Israel, Dave Shima's comments before and I'm

0:29:28.080 --> 0:29:31.880
<v Speaker 3>pleased to say he joins me live now, Dave Sharma,

0:29:32.080 --> 0:29:33.520
<v Speaker 3>welcome to the show once again.

0:29:33.960 --> 0:29:36.280
<v Speaker 2>Look, what are your thoughts. Do you think.

0:29:36.080 --> 0:29:40.600
<v Speaker 3>Pennywong needs to calm down herretoric because she's founding the

0:29:40.640 --> 0:29:45.360
<v Speaker 3>flames of antisemitism with her constant criticism of the Jewish state.

0:29:47.560 --> 0:29:51.120
<v Speaker 5>I think her remarks in her prepared speech and these

0:29:51.120 --> 0:29:56.200
<v Speaker 5>were prepared remarks, but outrageous and outrageous comparison, but particularly

0:29:56.280 --> 0:30:00.160
<v Speaker 5>inflammatory in the days after the Jewish communit and it

0:30:00.200 --> 0:30:02.440
<v Speaker 5>is reeling from the shock of the fire bomb morning

0:30:02.560 --> 0:30:05.160
<v Speaker 5>of the Adust singogue. We all need to be careful

0:30:05.200 --> 0:30:09.120
<v Speaker 5>with our language at this song and comparing Israel, a

0:30:09.160 --> 0:30:12.440
<v Speaker 5>liberal democratic state that is fighting for its survival, that

0:30:12.600 --> 0:30:15.880
<v Speaker 5>was attacked unprovoked on the seventh of October and has

0:30:15.880 --> 0:30:20.840
<v Speaker 5>been attacked many times subsequently since with expansionist autocratic powers

0:30:20.880 --> 0:30:26.480
<v Speaker 5>like China and Russia simply condones and encourages the sort

0:30:26.520 --> 0:30:29.400
<v Speaker 5>of anti Israel sentiment we've seen on the streets, which

0:30:29.440 --> 0:30:32.680
<v Speaker 5>is becoming very quickly anti Semitic and anti Jewish as well.

0:30:33.000 --> 0:30:34.840
<v Speaker 10>So I think it was a particularly ill.

0:30:34.680 --> 0:30:37.160
<v Speaker 5>Timed intervention by the Foreign Minister, and I think she

0:30:37.200 --> 0:30:39.520
<v Speaker 5>should be much more careful with her language, given she

0:30:39.640 --> 0:30:41.040
<v Speaker 5>is Australia's chief diplomat.

0:30:42.200 --> 0:30:46.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well, for Australia's chief diplomat, she doesn't use very

0:30:46.120 --> 0:30:49.440
<v Speaker 3>diplomatic language when it comes to Israel. Dave Sharma, when

0:30:49.440 --> 0:30:52.440
<v Speaker 3>we spoke of it earlier, the quote you gave me

0:30:52.520 --> 0:30:55.760
<v Speaker 3>that I played on the screen, you said, it's effectively

0:30:56.000 --> 0:30:57.080
<v Speaker 3>like a dog whistle.

0:30:57.160 --> 0:30:58.480
<v Speaker 2>Can you expand on that.

0:31:00.120 --> 0:31:05.040
<v Speaker 5>It is it's effectively condoning and encouraging people who are

0:31:05.760 --> 0:31:11.240
<v Speaker 5>inclined to vilify Israel and consequently villify the Jewish people.

0:31:11.600 --> 0:31:14.880
<v Speaker 5>So it's effectively giving a license or creating a permissive

0:31:15.000 --> 0:31:18.000
<v Speaker 5>environment for people to go out and continue to say

0:31:18.040 --> 0:31:20.800
<v Speaker 5>that Israel is guilty of the most monstrous crimes and

0:31:20.840 --> 0:31:22.920
<v Speaker 5>the Jewish people in Australia should be held.

0:31:22.760 --> 0:31:23.520
<v Speaker 10>Accountable for that.

0:31:23.600 --> 0:31:26.680
<v Speaker 5>Now, that might not be the Foreign Minister's intention, but

0:31:26.920 --> 0:31:30.440
<v Speaker 5>the way she is using language in a very loose

0:31:30.480 --> 0:31:33.480
<v Speaker 5>and ill disciplined fashion like this, it can only have

0:31:33.560 --> 0:31:37.720
<v Speaker 5>that consequence. And surely by now the Prime Minister and

0:31:37.800 --> 0:31:40.240
<v Speaker 5>other simul labor ministers should have learned the lesson that

0:31:40.280 --> 0:31:42.640
<v Speaker 5>they all need to be more careful with their public

0:31:42.720 --> 0:31:44.960
<v Speaker 5>utterances to take some of the temperature out of this

0:31:45.040 --> 0:31:48.920
<v Speaker 5>issue in Australia. But you know, they are singularly failing

0:31:49.000 --> 0:31:52.040
<v Speaker 5>to do so. And I'm just shocked that, as I said,

0:31:52.080 --> 0:31:55.440
<v Speaker 5>a few days after the synagogue was firebombed, we're still

0:31:55.440 --> 0:31:58.360
<v Speaker 5>seeing labor ministers speaking in such inflammatory terms.

0:31:59.160 --> 0:32:02.320
<v Speaker 3>Not only that, but we saw Chris Bowen yesterday and

0:32:02.360 --> 0:32:03.719
<v Speaker 3>then Ed Husick today.

0:32:04.320 --> 0:32:05.880
<v Speaker 2>They can't talk about anti.

0:32:05.560 --> 0:32:08.520
<v Speaker 3>Semitism without speaking about Islamophobia.

0:32:08.600 --> 0:32:09.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, what's their problem?

0:32:11.520 --> 0:32:14.680
<v Speaker 5>I just find it so hard to explain. I mean,

0:32:15.280 --> 0:32:17.840
<v Speaker 5>do you need to name check every form of discrimination

0:32:17.960 --> 0:32:21.360
<v Speaker 5>when you were talking about one that is particularly problematic.

0:32:22.480 --> 0:32:24.200
<v Speaker 10>It just strikes me as so weird.

0:32:24.360 --> 0:32:28.360
<v Speaker 5>If there you know, if and when evidence of Islamophobia

0:32:28.400 --> 0:32:31.200
<v Speaker 5>presents itself, yes we should condemn it, we should discuss it.

0:32:31.240 --> 0:32:34.960
<v Speaker 10>But I've seen synagogues being filed bombed. I haven't seen

0:32:34.960 --> 0:32:35.920
<v Speaker 10>moss being filed bombed.

0:32:35.960 --> 0:32:39.880
<v Speaker 5>I've seen Jewish people have their details out and publicly docs.

0:32:40.000 --> 0:32:44.600
<v Speaker 5>I've seen Jewish owned businesses defaced with graffiti. I've seen

0:32:44.960 --> 0:32:49.440
<v Speaker 5>an increase in armed presence outside Jewish schools, Jewish religious institutions,

0:32:49.920 --> 0:32:52.600
<v Speaker 5>Jewish hospitals. That is not happening to any other religious

0:32:52.640 --> 0:32:56.120
<v Speaker 5>community in Australia. So I don't see why it is

0:32:56.160 --> 0:32:59.040
<v Speaker 5>so hard for them to recognize this for what it is,

0:32:59.080 --> 0:33:02.600
<v Speaker 5>antisemitism treated as a priority, rather than saying, you know,

0:33:02.640 --> 0:33:05.200
<v Speaker 5>it's one of the hosts of a number of societal

0:33:05.240 --> 0:33:07.280
<v Speaker 5>hills that we should be dealing with. This is a

0:33:07.320 --> 0:33:10.880
<v Speaker 5>problem that is out of control at emergency levels in Australia.

0:33:10.920 --> 0:33:13.360
<v Speaker 5>But the Albanizi government still seems to be treating it

0:33:13.400 --> 0:33:15.640
<v Speaker 5>as a business as usual proposition.

0:33:16.360 --> 0:33:20.360
<v Speaker 3>And you know, the Albanizi government, after quite intense pressure

0:33:20.400 --> 0:33:23.280
<v Speaker 3>behind the scenes, let me tell you, they eventually announced

0:33:23.280 --> 0:33:27.840
<v Speaker 3>thirty two million dollars in funding for security for the

0:33:27.920 --> 0:33:28.840
<v Speaker 3>Jewish community.

0:33:29.160 --> 0:33:31.040
<v Speaker 2>But then Dave Sharma, they went and.

0:33:30.960 --> 0:33:34.080
<v Speaker 3>Said that it can't be used for armed guards. I mean,

0:33:34.560 --> 0:33:38.240
<v Speaker 3>how do they want the guards to protect synagogues and schools,

0:33:38.280 --> 0:33:39.640
<v Speaker 3>like with a wet lettuce.

0:33:40.240 --> 0:33:40.960
<v Speaker 2>It's absurd.

0:33:43.120 --> 0:33:47.560
<v Speaker 10>It is absurd, and I mean it is also I

0:33:47.600 --> 0:33:48.080
<v Speaker 10>don't know.

0:33:48.240 --> 0:33:52.200
<v Speaker 5>I welcome the additional security funding, but it's also treating

0:33:53.200 --> 0:33:54.680
<v Speaker 5>the symptoms rather than the disease.

0:33:54.760 --> 0:33:57.280
<v Speaker 10>The disease that we've got is anti Semitism.

0:33:57.360 --> 0:33:59.720
<v Speaker 5>And you know, all the armed guards in the world

0:34:00.000 --> 0:34:02.240
<v Speaker 5>not going to make the Jewish community feel safe if

0:34:02.240 --> 0:34:06.120
<v Speaker 5>they are if they are constantly being vilified, harassed, menace,

0:34:07.040 --> 0:34:09.400
<v Speaker 5>you know, whether it's if it's not happening physically, if

0:34:09.400 --> 0:34:11.960
<v Speaker 5>it's happening online, if it's happening to their businesses. That's

0:34:11.960 --> 0:34:13.919
<v Speaker 5>what the government needs to be addressing, and I wish

0:34:14.000 --> 0:34:16.920
<v Speaker 5>they would demonstrate that sort of resolve to tackling the

0:34:16.960 --> 0:34:20.520
<v Speaker 5>causes of this antisemitism we're seeing in Australia.

0:34:20.600 --> 0:34:22.400
<v Speaker 3>I just want to turn now before you go to

0:34:22.480 --> 0:34:25.839
<v Speaker 3>the file of the Assad regime in Syria. Look, there

0:34:25.880 --> 0:34:30.000
<v Speaker 3>have been celebrations also some notes of caution. The rebels

0:34:30.040 --> 0:34:32.719
<v Speaker 3>who have seized the country are still well at least

0:34:32.800 --> 0:34:36.160
<v Speaker 3>some of them have been part of Islamic State al

0:34:36.239 --> 0:34:40.160
<v Speaker 3>Kaeda style groups in the past. How do you interpret

0:34:40.200 --> 0:34:43.160
<v Speaker 3>the mover and are you a bit concerned about what

0:34:43.200 --> 0:34:44.319
<v Speaker 3>the regime will look like.

0:34:45.880 --> 0:34:51.080
<v Speaker 5>Well, I'm certainly cautious, you know. Undoubtedly I think the

0:34:51.120 --> 0:34:52.640
<v Speaker 5>departure of the Assad.

0:34:52.400 --> 0:34:54.120
<v Speaker 10>Regime is a good thing.

0:34:54.239 --> 0:34:58.279
<v Speaker 5>He was one of the most murderously stabilizing rulers in

0:34:58.320 --> 0:35:01.840
<v Speaker 5>the Middle East, cruel and oppressive towards his own people,

0:35:02.239 --> 0:35:05.279
<v Speaker 5>and he was part of the Iranian led access to

0:35:05.360 --> 0:35:08.120
<v Speaker 5>Resistance of block which has caused so much misery and

0:35:08.200 --> 0:35:10.520
<v Speaker 5>destabilization in the readers. So that is a good thing.

0:35:10.560 --> 0:35:13.120
<v Speaker 5>But we're right to be cautious about what takes us place.

0:35:13.160 --> 0:35:17.120
<v Speaker 5>I mean, heyat terarira Olscham, Yes, it was an offshot

0:35:17.120 --> 0:35:17.640
<v Speaker 5>of al Qaeda.

0:35:17.719 --> 0:35:18.880
<v Speaker 10>Aljelani, the leader of.

0:35:19.000 --> 0:35:22.520
<v Speaker 5>HTS, got his start joining al Qaida in Iraq in

0:35:22.520 --> 0:35:25.840
<v Speaker 5>two thousand and three. So we should be very cautious

0:35:25.880 --> 0:35:29.480
<v Speaker 5>about this group. It's still a listed terrorist organization, but

0:35:30.680 --> 0:35:33.279
<v Speaker 5>they have said, at least initially that they intend to

0:35:33.320 --> 0:35:37.600
<v Speaker 5>respect serious ethnic and religious diversity. We need to hold

0:35:37.680 --> 0:35:40.439
<v Speaker 5>them to that. But we shouldn't be getting carried away here.

0:35:40.480 --> 0:35:42.760
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I hope the future for Seria is better

0:35:42.800 --> 0:35:46.440
<v Speaker 5>than the past fifty years under the Assad regimb has been,

0:35:46.800 --> 0:35:49.040
<v Speaker 5>but it would be naive to expect that to.

0:35:49.000 --> 0:35:49.560
<v Speaker 10>Be the case.

0:35:50.040 --> 0:35:54.880
<v Speaker 3>Indeed, indeed, look at shows the weakness of Russia and Iran,

0:35:55.040 --> 0:35:58.280
<v Speaker 3>no question. But again, I remember when the Taliban returned

0:35:58.280 --> 0:36:02.160
<v Speaker 3>to power after Joe Biden's withdrawal, and the Taliban promised

0:36:02.160 --> 0:36:04.440
<v Speaker 3>they were was going to be a new era for women,

0:36:04.480 --> 0:36:07.759
<v Speaker 3>and now we're seeing women living in the most oppressive

0:36:07.800 --> 0:36:10.680
<v Speaker 3>circumstances in Afghanistan in recent history.

0:36:11.120 --> 0:36:15.359
<v Speaker 2>Dave Sharma really appreciate your time. Thank you. Now, coming up.

0:36:15.280 --> 0:36:18.799
<v Speaker 3>After the break, Israel's Deputy Foreign Minister Sharon Haskell will

0:36:18.880 --> 0:36:19.439
<v Speaker 3>join me live.

0:36:19.520 --> 0:36:20.480
<v Speaker 2>That's a bit later on.

0:36:20.560 --> 0:36:23.560
<v Speaker 3>I'll get her take on the latest news about the

0:36:23.600 --> 0:36:27.920
<v Speaker 3>hostage deal, her reaction to Pennywong Syria, also the humiliating

0:36:27.960 --> 0:36:31.239
<v Speaker 3>travel warning for Australia. But first, right after the break,

0:36:31.360 --> 0:36:35.560
<v Speaker 3>Justenterprice would join me to discuss Peter Dutton's call that

0:36:35.640 --> 0:36:39.880
<v Speaker 3>the Aboriginal flag not be shown at press conferences. Just

0:36:40.000 --> 0:36:41.879
<v Speaker 3>Enterprise coming up next.

0:36:45.040 --> 0:36:45.160
<v Speaker 2>Well.

0:36:45.200 --> 0:36:48.720
<v Speaker 3>Opposition leader Peter Dutton has sparked quite a fiery debate

0:36:48.960 --> 0:36:52.479
<v Speaker 3>after his vow to cut the Aboriginal and Torres Strait

0:36:52.520 --> 0:36:56.720
<v Speaker 3>Island of flags from press conferences if he becomes Prime Minister.

0:36:56.800 --> 0:37:00.240
<v Speaker 3>Here he was with my colleague Peter Credlin last night.

0:37:01.520 --> 0:37:04.160
<v Speaker 16>We are dividing our country unnecessarily. Now we should have

0:37:04.200 --> 0:37:06.799
<v Speaker 16>respect for the Indigenous flag and the Torres straight hole

0:37:06.840 --> 0:37:08.719
<v Speaker 16>in the flag, but they are not our national flags.

0:37:09.200 --> 0:37:12.000
<v Speaker 16>And I think the Prime Minister sends a very confusing message.

0:37:13.120 --> 0:37:17.680
<v Speaker 3>But Social Services Minister Amanda Rishworth called the move divisive.

0:37:19.000 --> 0:37:21.640
<v Speaker 11>I think this says Peter Dunn just doing what he

0:37:21.719 --> 0:37:24.160
<v Speaker 11>knows how to do best, try and get a headline

0:37:24.160 --> 0:37:28.840
<v Speaker 11>with no substance, no real policies about, for example, tackling

0:37:28.920 --> 0:37:32.319
<v Speaker 11>cost of living or things that really matter to the

0:37:32.320 --> 0:37:33.240
<v Speaker 11>Australian people.

0:37:34.280 --> 0:37:37.360
<v Speaker 3>All right, I'm Joey now bays Shadow Indigenous Affairs Minister.

0:37:37.760 --> 0:37:39.960
<v Speaker 3>Just enter Price, just center, Thank you so much for

0:37:40.000 --> 0:37:42.399
<v Speaker 3>your time. Once again, Look, do you agree with Peter

0:37:42.520 --> 0:37:45.480
<v Speaker 3>Duarton that there should be in the one Australian flag

0:37:45.880 --> 0:37:47.400
<v Speaker 3>behind him at press conferences?

0:37:49.880 --> 0:37:54.000
<v Speaker 14>Look absolutely shari And in fact, what the country doesn't

0:37:54.040 --> 0:37:58.120
<v Speaker 14>realize is that when Peter and I delivered a press

0:37:58.160 --> 0:38:02.319
<v Speaker 14>conference on October fourteen, when the referendum results came in,

0:38:02.400 --> 0:38:05.480
<v Speaker 14>that is exactly what we did. We stood in front

0:38:05.520 --> 0:38:10.520
<v Speaker 14>of just the Australian flag because after that result, particularly

0:38:11.040 --> 0:38:14.239
<v Speaker 14>it was evident to us that the Australian people one

0:38:14.320 --> 0:38:19.040
<v Speaker 14>day united Australia where we are all represented by one flag.

0:38:19.239 --> 0:38:22.279
<v Speaker 14>And we have to remember there were those that gave

0:38:22.320 --> 0:38:25.040
<v Speaker 14>their lives for our freedoms in this country and did

0:38:25.080 --> 0:38:30.480
<v Speaker 14>so united as one people of various different backgrounds, including Indigenous,

0:38:30.560 --> 0:38:32.000
<v Speaker 14>under the Australian flag.

0:38:33.080 --> 0:38:36.000
<v Speaker 3>What's your response to people like Commander Rishworth, who we

0:38:36.160 --> 0:38:39.239
<v Speaker 3>just heard claim this is simply a move that will

0:38:39.239 --> 0:38:40.440
<v Speaker 3>divide Australians.

0:38:42.920 --> 0:38:48.360
<v Speaker 14>Well, Amanda Rishworth evidently does not seem to have the

0:38:48.440 --> 0:38:53.680
<v Speaker 14>same cares for marginalized Indigenous Australians, particularly when she and

0:38:53.760 --> 0:38:57.919
<v Speaker 14>her government decided to remove the young Cashlist debit card

0:38:58.080 --> 0:39:01.320
<v Speaker 14>from some of our most vulnerable communities and she's failed

0:39:01.360 --> 0:39:04.880
<v Speaker 14>to return to those communities. If she really cared for

0:39:04.920 --> 0:39:07.840
<v Speaker 14>Indigenous Australians, she would never have removed that in the

0:39:07.880 --> 0:39:11.520
<v Speaker 14>first place and allowed for the you know, the rivers

0:39:11.520 --> 0:39:15.760
<v Speaker 14>of grog to flow once more. So you know, they

0:39:15.800 --> 0:39:18.880
<v Speaker 14>can say whatever they want, but ultimately we're about bringing

0:39:18.880 --> 0:39:22.200
<v Speaker 14>Australians together. And I know that Peter Dutton cares a

0:39:22.239 --> 0:39:25.840
<v Speaker 14>lot for marginalized Indigenous Australians and is prepared to tackle

0:39:25.840 --> 0:39:31.320
<v Speaker 14>the hard issues instead of pandering to the Green voters

0:39:31.360 --> 0:39:32.200
<v Speaker 14>on the inner cities.

0:39:33.400 --> 0:39:36.319
<v Speaker 3>Look another, we're coming up to the end of the year.

0:39:36.360 --> 0:39:39.760
<v Speaker 3>We've got Australia Day next month. I can't believe Australia

0:39:39.840 --> 0:39:42.520
<v Speaker 3>Days next month, but it is late next month. Of course,

0:39:43.120 --> 0:39:45.520
<v Speaker 3>there's the perennial debate about whether there should be a

0:39:45.640 --> 0:39:47.719
<v Speaker 3>change of date for Australia Day or not.

0:39:47.960 --> 0:39:51.280
<v Speaker 2>What's your view on this issue?

0:39:52.160 --> 0:39:54.319
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, Look, I've always been strong on the fact that

0:39:54.520 --> 0:39:57.840
<v Speaker 14>we should be celebrating Australia Day on the twenty sixth

0:39:57.840 --> 0:40:01.080
<v Speaker 14>of January for a number of different reasons. You know,

0:40:01.160 --> 0:40:04.760
<v Speaker 14>many new Australians became citizens on that day. We shouldn't

0:40:04.800 --> 0:40:07.839
<v Speaker 14>be taking that away from those citizens, the fact that

0:40:07.880 --> 0:40:10.880
<v Speaker 14>we all became Australian citizens on that very day in

0:40:10.960 --> 0:40:14.800
<v Speaker 14>nineteen forty nine under the Citizenship Act.

0:40:15.640 --> 0:40:18.759
<v Speaker 2>But you know what for those that are.

0:40:18.520 --> 0:40:21.479
<v Speaker 14>Continually aggrieved if we chose a different date, but there'd

0:40:21.520 --> 0:40:22.760
<v Speaker 14>be some reason as to why.

0:40:22.600 --> 0:40:24.120
<v Speaker 2>We shouldn't celebrate it on that day.

0:40:24.120 --> 0:40:27.040
<v Speaker 14>And I think the agrieve just don't want to celebrate

0:40:27.080 --> 0:40:30.359
<v Speaker 14>Australia full stop. I think those of us who want

0:40:30.360 --> 0:40:33.880
<v Speaker 14>to celebrate this great country, black white brindle should be

0:40:33.920 --> 0:40:37.040
<v Speaker 14>able to go ahead and do so, and I feel

0:40:37.200 --> 0:40:41.400
<v Speaker 14>more so now than ever, Australians want to come together,

0:40:42.320 --> 0:40:45.640
<v Speaker 14>stop putting ourselves down as a country and be proud

0:40:45.640 --> 0:40:47.080
<v Speaker 14>of who we are as a country.

0:40:47.320 --> 0:40:49.920
<v Speaker 2>On January twenty sixth.

0:40:50.840 --> 0:40:53.319
<v Speaker 3>And what's your view and the welcomes of country ceremonies

0:40:53.360 --> 0:40:55.400
<v Speaker 3>and how often they should be done? I mean it

0:40:55.440 --> 0:40:58.000
<v Speaker 3>is a possibility that you will be the Indigenous Affairs

0:40:58.040 --> 0:41:01.680
<v Speaker 3>Minister in a few shot months time. If you are

0:41:01.680 --> 0:41:06.080
<v Speaker 3>in that position, what would your comment be on how

0:41:06.120 --> 0:41:07.640
<v Speaker 3>often these ceremonies are performed?

0:41:09.960 --> 0:41:12.959
<v Speaker 14>Sure, well, look, I don't think they're necessary all the time.

0:41:13.000 --> 0:41:15.960
<v Speaker 14>I really don't, and I don't believe that. I often

0:41:15.960 --> 0:41:19.160
<v Speaker 14>think that our bureaucracy is held up because of the

0:41:19.200 --> 0:41:23.760
<v Speaker 14>fact that the acknowledgments occur before every meeting around every boardroom,

0:41:23.880 --> 0:41:27.319
<v Speaker 14>or every teams or Skype meeting that takes place, and

0:41:27.680 --> 0:41:32.240
<v Speaker 14>our efforts will be focused on bringing forward a common

0:41:32.280 --> 0:41:36.319
<v Speaker 14>sense approach to produce outcomes as opposed to all of

0:41:36.360 --> 0:41:42.080
<v Speaker 14>this symbolism and tokenism which seem to not actually close

0:41:42.120 --> 0:41:45.600
<v Speaker 14>the gap or change the lives of marginalized Indigenous Australians

0:41:45.600 --> 0:41:48.359
<v Speaker 14>in any positive way. So I don't see that they

0:41:48.400 --> 0:41:52.120
<v Speaker 14>are necessary. Keep them for, you know, really special occasions,

0:41:52.120 --> 0:41:56.080
<v Speaker 14>but otherwise I think Australians are pretty much over that

0:41:56.239 --> 0:41:58.200
<v Speaker 14>level of tokenism in our country now.

0:41:58.719 --> 0:42:01.600
<v Speaker 3>There's been a lot of recent reporting in the Herald

0:42:01.640 --> 0:42:04.799
<v Speaker 3>Sign and the Daily Telegraph around the First Nation's ambassador,

0:42:05.680 --> 0:42:09.040
<v Speaker 3>Justin Muhammad, a role which is costing tax payers seven

0:42:09.160 --> 0:42:11.840
<v Speaker 3>hundred and sixty thousand dollars over two years.

0:42:12.680 --> 0:42:14.040
<v Speaker 2>According to the Courier Mail.

0:42:15.160 --> 0:42:18.120
<v Speaker 3>We are seeing that the costs are sowing even higher

0:42:18.600 --> 0:42:22.399
<v Speaker 3>with Defat giving a contract role as well for several

0:42:22.480 --> 0:42:23.520
<v Speaker 3>hundred thousand dollars.

0:42:23.840 --> 0:42:29.160
<v Speaker 2>What's your view on whether this is necessary. I don't

0:42:29.160 --> 0:42:30.319
<v Speaker 2>think it's necessary at all.

0:42:30.360 --> 0:42:33.640
<v Speaker 14>It's really unclear as to the role of this ambassador.

0:42:34.440 --> 0:42:37.120
<v Speaker 14>And if they have to spend two hundred and fifty

0:42:37.160 --> 0:42:44.360
<v Speaker 14>million dollars to contract to contract another agency to create policy,

0:42:44.480 --> 0:42:49.879
<v Speaker 14>then what is the ambassador actually themselves doing in this

0:42:49.920 --> 0:42:56.200
<v Speaker 14>particular role. Isn't it his responsibility to create policy. It's

0:42:56.239 --> 0:43:00.680
<v Speaker 14>really unclear, and so this is why going forward, if

0:43:00.719 --> 0:43:04.279
<v Speaker 14>we are to take government, we won't have this role

0:43:04.320 --> 0:43:08.680
<v Speaker 14>any longer. We will abolish it and utilize those funds

0:43:08.840 --> 0:43:12.719
<v Speaker 14>to actually improve the lives of marginalized Indigenous Australians and

0:43:12.760 --> 0:43:18.520
<v Speaker 14>again ensure that we are represented internationally by one ambassador

0:43:18.560 --> 0:43:19.839
<v Speaker 14>and Australian ambassador.

0:43:21.320 --> 0:43:23.160
<v Speaker 2>It's kind of absurd the double up.

0:43:23.160 --> 0:43:26.240
<v Speaker 3>There's also an indigenous foreign policy, a regular foreign policy,

0:43:27.239 --> 0:43:30.000
<v Speaker 3>just enterprise. Really appreciate your time as always, Thank you

0:43:30.080 --> 0:43:32.600
<v Speaker 3>so much. Now, don't go anywhere. I'm going to Cross

0:43:32.600 --> 0:43:35.440
<v Speaker 3>Live to Israel next to discuss net and Yaho, making

0:43:35.680 --> 0:43:39.279
<v Speaker 3>Time Magazines Person of the Year's short list, plus the

0:43:39.400 --> 0:43:41.440
<v Speaker 3>latest on the hostage negotiations.

0:43:41.680 --> 0:43:45.320
<v Speaker 2>The Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister Sharon Haskell will join me next.

0:43:49.160 --> 0:43:51.760
<v Speaker 3>Well, let's Cross Live to Israel now, and I'm joined

0:43:51.800 --> 0:43:56.440
<v Speaker 3>by Israeli Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister Charen Hascal Scharen so

0:43:56.520 --> 0:43:59.760
<v Speaker 3>good to see you as always. Look, Pennywog has accused

0:44:00.040 --> 0:44:04.520
<v Speaker 3>Israel of being like Russia and China. She's accused it

0:44:04.840 --> 0:44:07.319
<v Speaker 3>of not abiding by international law. This is in a

0:44:07.320 --> 0:44:10.480
<v Speaker 3>major speech she gave overnight. What's your view on this

0:44:10.560 --> 0:44:14.840
<v Speaker 3>comparison with the liberal democracy of Israel to the dictatorships

0:44:14.840 --> 0:44:16.080
<v Speaker 3>of China and Russia.

0:44:16.120 --> 0:44:17.600
<v Speaker 2>Do you accept that comparison?

0:44:18.760 --> 0:44:25.160
<v Speaker 17>Well, that's extremely disappointing to hear, especially during these historical times.

0:44:25.880 --> 0:44:30.680
<v Speaker 17>Israel is fighting the excess of evil Iran. This is

0:44:30.719 --> 0:44:34.120
<v Speaker 17>not just Israel wars, but this is a Third World

0:44:34.239 --> 0:44:39.240
<v Speaker 17>war between radical Islam and between our societies, our value

0:44:39.520 --> 0:44:43.840
<v Speaker 17>values of freedom of democracy, equality, women's right, freedom of religion.

0:44:44.239 --> 0:44:45.399
<v Speaker 2>That is the actual war.

0:44:45.680 --> 0:44:50.560
<v Speaker 17>And when you see Iran joining together forces, strategic forces,

0:44:50.600 --> 0:44:56.280
<v Speaker 17>with China, with Russia, with North Korea military training together

0:44:56.480 --> 0:45:01.319
<v Speaker 17>their armies. To have a state like that by the

0:45:01.360 --> 0:45:05.480
<v Speaker 17>Foreign Minister of Australia is at least from a point

0:45:05.640 --> 0:45:09.680
<v Speaker 17>that doesn't really understand the geopolitics in the last year

0:45:10.160 --> 0:45:13.759
<v Speaker 17>situation in the Middle East at all. And it's very

0:45:13.800 --> 0:45:14.600
<v Speaker 17>sad to hear that.

0:45:14.680 --> 0:45:16.560
<v Speaker 2>It is more sad of.

0:45:16.440 --> 0:45:21.080
<v Speaker 17>The decision of Australia on their voting in the General

0:45:21.120 --> 0:45:24.960
<v Speaker 17>Assembly at the United Nation, which really means that they

0:45:25.040 --> 0:45:31.080
<v Speaker 17>are rewarding, you know, fromas a terrorist organization, declaring that

0:45:31.360 --> 0:45:35.719
<v Speaker 17>after the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, Australia

0:45:35.800 --> 0:45:39.560
<v Speaker 17>will reward them with a state with no precondition, without

0:45:39.600 --> 0:45:42.920
<v Speaker 17>returning any of our family members who have been held

0:45:42.960 --> 0:45:45.720
<v Speaker 17>for more than a year in their dungeons of terror.

0:45:45.760 --> 0:45:49.080
<v Speaker 17>And you know, Sherry, that's extremely disappointing for us.

0:45:49.360 --> 0:45:50.680
<v Speaker 2>I have to say it.

0:45:50.719 --> 0:45:55.480
<v Speaker 3>Just continues this trend of Australia's hostile foreign policies towards Israel.

0:45:56.520 --> 0:45:59.560
<v Speaker 3>Your Prime Minister Nataniahu posted on the wakend he was

0:45:59.600 --> 0:46:03.000
<v Speaker 3>talking about the terror attack at the adask Synagogan Melbourne,

0:46:03.040 --> 0:46:07.200
<v Speaker 3>and he said, unfortunately it's impossible to separate this reprehensible

0:46:07.320 --> 0:46:10.720
<v Speaker 3>act from the extreme anti Israeli position of the Labor

0:46:10.760 --> 0:46:15.600
<v Speaker 3>government in Australia. He said, anti Israel's sentiment is antisemitism

0:46:15.920 --> 0:46:19.440
<v Speaker 3>Sharand do you agree that the Albanese government has fostered

0:46:19.440 --> 0:46:22.880
<v Speaker 3>a climate where anti Semitism can flourish?

0:46:23.840 --> 0:46:28.200
<v Speaker 17>Unfortunately we haven't seen serious measures to enforce the hatred

0:46:28.400 --> 0:46:31.040
<v Speaker 17>and racism towards shoes in Australia.

0:46:31.640 --> 0:46:34.040
<v Speaker 2>You see those really.

0:46:35.239 --> 0:46:40.920
<v Speaker 17>Maybe anti Israel, but very much also anti Jewish protests

0:46:40.920 --> 0:46:43.480
<v Speaker 17>when they go and march in the Sydney Opera House

0:46:43.520 --> 0:46:47.400
<v Speaker 17>and they shant gas the Jews. What kind of message

0:46:47.680 --> 0:46:52.840
<v Speaker 17>does that sin was that tolerated? Was that these people

0:46:52.880 --> 0:46:57.320
<v Speaker 17>were persecuted, arrested, anything legally that was done to them,

0:46:57.480 --> 0:47:00.560
<v Speaker 17>or were they free to go and continue their marches

0:47:00.600 --> 0:47:05.640
<v Speaker 17>of hatred and slogans that really calls for violence? How

0:47:05.680 --> 0:47:11.040
<v Speaker 17>would you interpret any other way someone that is calling

0:47:11.160 --> 0:47:16.160
<v Speaker 17>out publicly in demonstrations gass the Jews. Well a year

0:47:16.239 --> 0:47:19.200
<v Speaker 17>later when that continued on, they would go to a

0:47:19.280 --> 0:47:23.319
<v Speaker 17>synagogue and would try to murder them, to create a

0:47:23.400 --> 0:47:27.640
<v Speaker 17>terrorist attack. And so we are beyond words. Words have

0:47:27.800 --> 0:47:30.480
<v Speaker 17>been said many many times past the year. This is

0:47:30.520 --> 0:47:34.200
<v Speaker 17>the time for actions, and I think that this government

0:47:34.719 --> 0:47:39.080
<v Speaker 17>has to combat the hatred and racism towards Jewish community.

0:47:39.800 --> 0:47:42.800
<v Speaker 17>And yes, I completely agree with the Prime Minister and

0:47:43.200 --> 0:47:46.960
<v Speaker 17>I think he said it pretty clearly that the anti

0:47:47.080 --> 0:47:52.600
<v Speaker 17>Israeli motions that are coming from this current government, unfortunately

0:47:52.800 --> 0:47:55.880
<v Speaker 17>you cannot separate them with the rise of hatred towards

0:47:55.960 --> 0:48:01.000
<v Speaker 17>the Jewish community and it's very disappointing. I'm hoping for

0:48:01.280 --> 0:48:03.320
<v Speaker 17>in the future when we can rely on our allies.

0:48:03.440 --> 0:48:05.560
<v Speaker 3>As it got to the point, do you think now

0:48:05.719 --> 0:48:08.719
<v Speaker 3>where the NAD in Yahoo government of which you are

0:48:08.760 --> 0:48:12.360
<v Speaker 3>now a part, You know you might not consider Australia

0:48:12.560 --> 0:48:14.760
<v Speaker 3>under this government an ally.

0:48:16.920 --> 0:48:19.360
<v Speaker 17>Well, I can tell you that we feel like we

0:48:19.560 --> 0:48:23.360
<v Speaker 17>cannot rely on them, and I really pray and hope

0:48:23.400 --> 0:48:26.359
<v Speaker 17>for better days when we can rely on Australia as

0:48:26.520 --> 0:48:27.200
<v Speaker 17>our allies.

0:48:27.239 --> 0:48:28.399
<v Speaker 2>We had an.

0:48:28.440 --> 0:48:33.600
<v Speaker 17>Extremely good relationship throughout the years, a lot of mutual corporations,

0:48:34.320 --> 0:48:36.880
<v Speaker 17>to the point where Australia was one of the first

0:48:36.920 --> 0:48:40.440
<v Speaker 17>countries to actually vote in favor of creating, you know,

0:48:40.600 --> 0:48:44.560
<v Speaker 17>the founding of the Jewish state here in Israel. So,

0:48:44.920 --> 0:48:50.360
<v Speaker 17>you know, I and it's beyond my own personal disappointment,

0:48:51.040 --> 0:48:54.759
<v Speaker 17>I think it's very disappointing for the Israeli public and

0:48:54.800 --> 0:48:58.360
<v Speaker 17>the people who see Australia as one of its greatest allies.

0:48:58.719 --> 0:49:02.640
<v Speaker 17>And unfortunately, you know, we feel like we cannot rely

0:49:02.760 --> 0:49:05.480
<v Speaker 17>at this moment on this current government.

0:49:06.040 --> 0:49:10.760
<v Speaker 3>Such a such a disappointing state of affairs, no question, Sharon,

0:49:10.800 --> 0:49:13.640
<v Speaker 3>I want to get your We're already got a minute left. Now,

0:49:13.800 --> 0:49:16.840
<v Speaker 3>what's the latest on the hostage negotiations. We are hearing

0:49:16.920 --> 0:49:18.440
<v Speaker 3>reports that this is underway.

0:49:18.800 --> 0:49:19.600
<v Speaker 2>Are they accurate?

0:49:21.600 --> 0:49:25.120
<v Speaker 17>So we need to be extremely cautious. You know, even

0:49:25.880 --> 0:49:29.080
<v Speaker 17>just a couple of months ago, there were three proposals.

0:49:29.120 --> 0:49:33.040
<v Speaker 17>The Katari, the Egyptians and the Russian. Israel said yes

0:49:33.080 --> 0:49:37.319
<v Speaker 17>to all these deals, but unfortunately Kamas said no. We

0:49:37.440 --> 0:49:40.680
<v Speaker 17>do notice that there is a I mean, Kamas didn't

0:49:40.719 --> 0:49:46.040
<v Speaker 17>rejected it completely, and there's some positive motion and some breakthrough.

0:49:46.280 --> 0:49:49.000
<v Speaker 17>But I'm being very very cautious. We are praying that

0:49:49.040 --> 0:49:51.480
<v Speaker 17>we will be able to bring back our family members

0:49:51.520 --> 0:49:54.279
<v Speaker 17>as quickly as possible, and I really hope we'll be

0:49:54.320 --> 0:49:57.120
<v Speaker 17>able to bring some good news and in the next

0:49:57.160 --> 0:49:58.000
<v Speaker 17>couple of weeks.

0:49:58.400 --> 0:50:01.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, all right, Sharan Haskell really appreciate your time.

0:50:01.760 --> 0:50:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Thank you so much.

0:50:03.800 --> 0:50:06.040
<v Speaker 3>And of course before you all, before you all flagged

0:50:06.080 --> 0:50:08.640
<v Speaker 3>me with emails, we all heard gas the Jews. The

0:50:08.680 --> 0:50:11.680
<v Speaker 3>police gas lit us and claimed it was where's the Jews?

0:50:11.840 --> 0:50:14.880
<v Speaker 2>Either way, it was anti Semitism. That's it from me.

0:50:15.040 --> 0:50:16.280
