1 00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:04,519 Speaker 1: On skorlus Oscodia. 2 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,280 Speaker 2: This is the Wader Panalty Show. 3 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the readA Panety show coming 4 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:15,120 Speaker 3: up tonight. Anthony Alberizi refuses to expel rogue senator for 5 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,279 Speaker 3: team of payman parents outrage as children are forced to 6 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:23,279 Speaker 3: sing an indigenous national anthem. I'll speak with a young 7 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 3: female journalist who spent a scary night in the streets 8 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 3: of what used to be the world's most livable city, 9 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,559 Speaker 3: and Army Horowitz with the latest from the US and 10 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 3: plenty of lefties losing it. I, on the other hand, 11 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:42,879 Speaker 3: have chosen to live a life public service, but I 12 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 3: am all for it. 13 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 4: I even get yours if that's what you want. 14 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 3: Joining me now is Deputy Director of the Institute of 15 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:52,880 Speaker 3: Public Affairs Daniel Wilde. 16 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 5: Dan, let's start with the Prime Minister. 17 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 3: He's continuing to wage war against the Coalition for their 18 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 3: nuclear energy policies, seizing on the fact that smaller liberals, 19 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 3: those feckless state leaders are not backing Peter Dutton's nuclear strategy. 20 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 6: New South Wales opposition leader. We can't wait for nuclear 21 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 6: Victorian Opposition leader. There are prohibitions in place, so I'm 22 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 6: not racing along the nuclear path, Victoria NATS leader, you 23 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 6: wouldn't be surprised at our view is exactly the same 24 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 6: as John Perzuto, Queen's leader. 25 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: I've been very. 26 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 6: Consistent with it. Nuclear is not planning in Queensland. I 27 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,319 Speaker 6: hate to state be obvious, but they've just said that. 28 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 6: David Christopher Ley, Peter Walsh, John Persuito, Marke Speakman, Shane 29 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 6: Love and Guy Barnett are really relevant. Well, they are 30 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 6: as far as their plan is concerned, because their plan 31 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 6: is friendless amongst their own people, amongst the Business Committee 32 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 6: and amongst anyone in the energy sector. 33 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 5: Well, I'll tell you the Prime Minister has a point here. 34 00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 3: When you've got liberal leaders being directtionless, being obstructionist, completely 35 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 3: having no sense of what's needed in this country. It's 36 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 3: not like they're actually entering their debate with ideas of 37 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 3: their own that are constructive. It's just a no to 38 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 3: something that is a proven technology that works elsewhere in 39 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 3: the world beautifully. And again I keep saying it, we 40 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 3: are sitting on the world's biggest reserves of uranium in 41 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 3: this country. 42 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 7: Yeah, you're right, And I think what Anthony Albernezi said 43 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 7: then doesn't give him the conclusion that he intends, because 44 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 7: it shows that Peter Dutton is a leader and the 45 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 7: State Liberals are not leaders. And if you look at 46 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 7: what he's saying that the energy companies don't want it 47 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 7: in the business community doesn't want it, and the political 48 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 7: class doesn't want it, okay, but the Australian people want it. 49 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: So again it shows that there's a. 50 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 7: Dichotomy between the political class and the interests of the elites. 51 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 7: Who back renewed was because of the financial incentives and 52 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 7: the ideological component, but they won't support nuclear, or at 53 00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 7: least not yet. 54 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: And I think also the overreach we've. 55 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 7: Seen in response to the coalition's plan is revealing. Because 56 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 7: the government knows that their own policy is failing. Energy 57 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 7: bills are going up, blackout risks going up. 58 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 1: The only thing. 59 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 7: They have to talk about is Peter Dutton's plan, not 60 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 7: their own failing plan. 61 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 5: No. 62 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 3: And you look at some of Chris Bowen's commentary, some 63 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,959 Speaker 3: of the statements is putting out on social media. You 64 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 3: really struggle to see how you can be the energy minister, 65 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 3: the climate change minister. It sounds like some first year 66 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 3: art student who's grappling with this issue. I really worry 67 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 3: about because we are facing the real prospect of running 68 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 3: out of gas yep. 69 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 7: And I think this will be similar to the Voice debate, 70 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 7: which is the Government is not going to be able 71 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 7: to make an argument to the Australian people because they're 72 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 7: going to be caught short. Australians don't want net zero, 73 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 7: they don't want to pay for net zero. This renewable 74 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,839 Speaker 7: is only renewables everywhere policy is being rejected by red Australians, 75 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 7: and with very very good reason because the impact on 76 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 7: their life and as you sort of alluding to, the 77 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 7: Energy Minister simply cannot sustain a meaningful argument in public, 78 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 7: instead resorting to basically name calling. So the more Australian 79 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 7: see of this, the more they'll turn against the government's policies. 80 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 3: His antics are getting more desperate, I can tell you 81 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,919 Speaker 3: on social media he's tweeting out Guardian articles. You know 82 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 3: you're scraping in the bottom of the barrel when you've 83 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 3: got a resort to Guardian articles. Now let's look at Labor, 84 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 3: who normally do have great party discipline, unlike the Liberals 85 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 3: who are a broad church, too broad if you ask me. 86 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 3: But the PM is terrified of a millennial in a hijab, 87 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 3: A young Muslim senator from WA for team of Payman, 88 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 3: who is the first federal Labor politician to cross the 89 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 3: floor in eighteen years. She voted against the government on 90 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 3: a Greens motion recognizing the statehood of Palestine. 91 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 8: I was not elected as a token representa of diversity. 92 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 5: I was elected to serve the people of Western. 93 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 8: Australia and uphold the values instilled in me by my 94 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 8: late father. Today I have made a decision that would 95 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 8: make him proud and make everyone proud who are on 96 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 8: the side of humanity. 97 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 3: I've got to say this is profoundly weak by the 98 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 3: pm DAN. We know why he needs those voters in 99 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 3: those seats in Western Sydney. We know they're very energized 100 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:35,799 Speaker 3: by this issue. But this set's a precedent. And what's 101 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 3: the going to stop the next Labor senator who feel 102 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 3: strongly about an issue defying the party and crossing the floor. 103 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it's a couple of things. I mean said it. 104 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 7: A Payment is a lightweight who she's barely able to 105 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 7: defend her position in any sort of coherent manner. 106 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 1: There. 107 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 7: You're right to say that this reinforces the Prime Minister 108 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 7: is weak. Basically, you've got the Palestinian wing of the 109 00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 7: Labor Party that is essentially running government policy because as 110 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 7: you say, there's a handful of seats in mostly Western 111 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 7: Sydney with twenty or thirty percent Islamic population, and rather 112 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 7: actually leading the community to something better, they've capitulated to 113 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 7: these very extremist demands. It's not surprising that Anthony Alberanezi 114 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 7: has failed to provide leadership on this issue because it's 115 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 7: a pattern of repeated behavior and I think a lot 116 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 7: of Australians are concerned of the division and the lack 117 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 7: of social cohesion we're seeing in our community on this 118 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 7: very issue. 119 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 3: Now, I want to talk about Julie Inman Grant, the 120 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 3: East Safety Commissioner. She's a complaint to the ABC during 121 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 3: a radio interview about the nickname we've coined for her 122 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 3: on this program and others like it. I'm sure you 123 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,239 Speaker 3: don't watch Going News at Nate, but I'm they're punching 124 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 3: bag pretty much every night. 125 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 5: They referred to me as E Karen, Oh dear. 126 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 3: I mean, what a Karen thing to do for the 127 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 3: E Karen to go on the ABC and complain about 128 00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 3: being called an e Karen, and I mean. 129 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 5: Please, but playing the victim given some. 130 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 3: Of the outrageous rulings she has instituted, some of the 131 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 3: absolutely mainstream views she are sought to censor, including the 132 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 3: notion that men can't breastfeed. I would have thought that 133 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 3: was a fairly obvious logical take. 134 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: Well, that's right, and this is the issue. 135 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 7: There are some laudable objectives that Julian Manngrand talks about 136 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 7: protecting children, getting rid of child exploitation material and so forth, 137 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 7: which we all agree with and are not contested propositions. 138 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 7: The problem is that she has a history of activism, 139 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 7: ideologically driven activism, not about protecting children, but about censoring speech, 140 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 7: not just in Australia but globally. The whole reason she 141 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 7: wanted to take down the stabbing of the bishop in 142 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 7: Western Sydney wasn't to do with protecting children from that content. 143 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 7: Is because she and her overlords in the Albanese government 144 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 7: didn't want the community to see the collapsing social cohesion 145 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 7: and the failure of our migration policy. So it was 146 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 7: an attempt to CeNSE a debate. We've seen it with 147 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 7: the Voice to Parliament. We've seen it with issues pertaining 148 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 7: to gender, So if she wants to be respected. 149 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 3: Throughout the COVID crisis had not just very sane views 150 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 3: censored or shadow band suppressed, but voices of experts leading 151 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 3: into national infectious disease experts who were questioning some of 152 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 3: these rulings that we were told is the science, and 153 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 3: they were censored. And I would argue that was destructive 154 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 3: in a number of ways, including preventing decent policy, preventing 155 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,439 Speaker 3: best policy, and could have possibly cost lives. 156 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 7: Well, it was censored by government, big tech and also 157 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 7: by the ABC. The ABC wouldn't have a debate about 158 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 7: lockdowns or any other facet of the responsive governments. And 159 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 7: this is why the issue with the E Safety Commissioners. 160 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 7: It started as the Children's E Safety Commissioner, it metastasized 161 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 7: due to this bureaucratic growth. There's no democratic oversight. The 162 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 7: E Safety Commissioner has become a law and to herself 163 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 7: and you need to retain it into the original objectives, 164 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 7: which is actually to get rid of unlawful and child 165 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 7: exploitation material rather than censoring opinion. 166 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 3: Now to Yarraville West Primary School in Melbourne, there has 167 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 3: been outrage amongst parents because children were made to sing 168 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 3: alternative Indigenous national anthem. 169 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 5: We don't have an Indigenous national anthem as far as 170 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 5: I know. 171 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 3: This is the music of our national anthem, but with 172 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 3: the lyrics change, so you've got things like and honoring 173 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 3: the Dreaming Advance Australia. 174 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: Fair. 175 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 3: Do we really want to have separate anthems, separate flags, 176 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 3: separate recognition based on race? 177 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,479 Speaker 5: Do we not just have a referendum on this very issue? 178 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:49,439 Speaker 1: Well, that's right. 179 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 7: I think Australians wake up every day and we see 180 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 7: whether it's this, whether it's in Victoria, there's still work 181 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,319 Speaker 7: towards a treaty. In South Australia, they've got a state 182 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 7: voice to Parliament. We're seen in Queensland in regards to 183 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 7: kepel Ireland and other issues with native title. We voted 184 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 7: no to this. Australians voted no to racial division. They've 185 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 7: had a gupful of being divided by the elites. I 186 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 7: think the principal and anyone else involved in this at 187 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 7: this school should be dismissed immediately. 188 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 3: Because politicization clearly, I mean, this is not how do 189 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 3: you justify this other than to say this is what they. 190 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 5: Believe is morally right as a political. 191 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 7: Position that they believe Australia is a bad racist country 192 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,719 Speaker 7: and as loon as if there's no discussion of our 193 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 7: history and indigenous affairs within that you know, it's almost 194 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 7: talked about incessantly. So look, this needs to be dealt 195 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 7: with very quickly and as I say, serious consequences for 196 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 7: those involved. 197 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 3: Now, the flag is another thing we've got to talk 198 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 3: about because we see the Prime Minister, we see as ministers. 199 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 3: Every time they speak you can barely see the Australian flag. 200 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,080 Speaker 3: There seem to be so many flags behind them. I 201 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 3: think that's something else that is just needlessly divisive. Now 202 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 3: this is from the UK. I had to check with 203 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 3: to see if it was April one. Surely this couldn't be. 204 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 5: Real, but sadly it is. 205 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 3: Academics from a museum in Oxford will be using British 206 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 3: taxpayer money to research the politics of milk and its 207 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 3: colonial legacies. Yes, one of the experts is previously insisted 208 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 3: milk is a Northern European obsession and has been imposed 209 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 3: on other parts of the world. Apparently the assumption that 210 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 3: milk is a key part of the human diet may 211 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 3: be understood as a white supremacist one. Obviously that's a 212 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 3: quote format. Doctor Johanna zettastorm Sharp. Her new project Milking It, Colonialism, 213 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 3: Heritage and Everyday Engagement with Derry has one funding from 214 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 3: the Arts and Humanities Research Council. So Dan is milk racist? 215 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 3: I mean it is often white that troubles me. 216 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:03,959 Speaker 7: Well, there's certainly milking taxpayers, we can. 217 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:04,440 Speaker 1: Safely conclude that. 218 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 7: But it does go to this issue reader, which is 219 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 7: racism is now a trope. You know, it means everything 220 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 7: and it means nothing. Practically everything now is considered to 221 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 7: be racist. It has diminished the actual meaning of the 222 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 7: term and I think a lot of Australians when they 223 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 7: hear that term now basically tune out because it's so 224 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 7: widely used. And of course this is a taxpayer funded undertaking. 225 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 7: So look, it's just another example of I think how 226 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 7: academia and universities have lost their way and many people 227 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 7: are just tuning out. 228 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 5: From it now. 229 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 3: To the UK staying there, Nigel Farage, he's a party 230 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 3: Reform Party is one point ahead of the Conservatives. He's 231 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 3: sitting on nineteen percent. He was on gb News Breakfast 232 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 3: talking about immigration when behind him a boat full of 233 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 3: illegal immigrants could be seen making their way to Britain. 234 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 2: We are literally mid channel now between Dover and Calais 235 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 2: and behind me you can see a white dinghy. There 236 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 2: are forty five people on board. Behind it you can 237 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 2: see an escort vessel. Because that's what the French do. 238 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 2: Despite the five hundred million quick we've given them, they 239 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 2: literally once these boats are afloat, it's thort them to 240 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 2: our twelve mile line while they hand them over to Borderforce. 241 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 3: I tell you, he is just a master of exposing 242 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 3: the issues that people care about and doing it in 243 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 3: ways that speak to people who are not even politically engaged. 244 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 3: But there's a reason why he's got such support and 245 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 3: the Tories are absolutely circling the train. They went to 246 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 3: elections promising that they were going to slash immigration to 247 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 3: tens of thousands per annum. 248 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 5: It was around a million last year. 249 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 9: Yeah. 250 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 7: Well, I mean Nigel Ferras has given a voice to 251 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 7: the voiceless. Without him, Brexit would not have happened. That 252 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 7: was one of the single biggest political upheavals we've seen 253 00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 7: in a generation. 254 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: He has provided a debate. 255 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 7: There's now actually a debate in the UK about net zero, 256 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 7: about migration, about the collapse of their culture. I would 257 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 7: rather the Tories have fixed themselves up and delivered, particularly 258 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 7: when Boris Johnson he had a once in a generational 259 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 7: opportunity to realign the Conservative Party with the working class 260 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 7: Britons who voted for Brexit, but he let the team down. 261 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 7: And it's basically been fourteen years of failure by the Tories. 262 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 7: So no wonder their polls are going down and farages 263 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 7: are going up. So look, I think that the monumental 264 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 7: contribution of Farrage has been making sure there's a debate 265 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 7: and giving voice to millions who don't see their views 266 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 7: or values in the major political parties. 267 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 3: And I think he's looking at this as a two 268 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 3: election strategy. He just wants to be in a strong 269 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 3: position after this race and then to really bring in 270 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 3: those disaffected Tories, the MPs, the base and have a 271 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 3: new Conservative Party that actually stands for something. At Dan Wild, 272 00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 3: thank you so much for your time to seeing Thank 273 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 3: you joining me now is Stephanie Bastian, research fellow for 274 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 3: the Women's Forum. Last week, the Victorian Liberals sided with 275 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 3: Labor against the cross Bench to pass a bill that 276 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 3: gives the Minister for Local Government the power to sack 277 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 3: democratically elected councilors at a time where conservative female counselors 278 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 3: are being harassed and vilified. Only two conservative women didn't 279 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 3: vote for this bill, Moira Deeming and Beth MacArthur, who 280 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 3: gave a passionate speech against the motion. 281 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 10: The victimization of counselors in Victoria. The victims I'm aware 282 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 10: of are mostly women, conservative women, but I'm not convinced 283 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 10: this is a sex based division. Sadly, some of the 284 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 10: most enthusiastic bullies of women. The motivation seems to be political. 285 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 3: Stephanie, how hopeless other Victorian lives. This is a rare 286 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 3: chance they had to stop some bad legislation. The crossbenchers 287 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 3: were against this, and yet they teamed up with Labor 288 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 3: to pass it. 289 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 11: This piece of legislation is the most undemocratic bill I 290 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 11: have seen since Daniel Andrews passed his ominious COVID health bill. 291 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 11: It is so disappointing because we know the arbitration process 292 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 11: that has been used to silence counselors, particularly those who 293 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 11: are perhaps conservative, who are women talking about sex based issues, 294 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 11: or liberals in labor dominated councils, the process is being 295 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 11: weaponized to silence them. You telling me that if a 296 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 11: labor dominated council recommends to the Labor Minister for Local 297 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 11: Government that a councilor should be sacked, he's going to decline. 298 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 11: I mean, seriously, it is so frustrating that the Liberals 299 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 11: didn't take the opportunity to side with the Crossbench and 300 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 11: vote down this horrendous piece of legislation. I really feel 301 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 11: for the counselors, particularly the women, and particularly Liberals who 302 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 11: will be feeling very betrayed by this. 303 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 3: Now, actor David Tenant apparently he is doctor who I've 304 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 3: never watched that series. He wants conservative MP Kemmy baden 305 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:11,159 Speaker 3: Knock to know her place and not exist anymore and 306 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 3: keep quiet. Why because she has some very pro female views. 307 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 3: She does not believe men should be in female spaces, 308 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,159 Speaker 3: she does not believe children should be given drugs and 309 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 3: treatments to change their gender. And for arguing against the 310 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 3: likes of Kemmy, David has won a prize and here 311 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 3: is his speech. 312 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 11: We shouldn't live in a world where that is worth 313 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 11: remarking on. 314 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:42,400 Speaker 10: However, until we wake up and Kemmy Badenock doesn't exist anymore. 315 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:50,120 Speaker 12: I don't wish ell of her. 316 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 13: I just wish her to shut up. 317 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: Now. 318 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 3: Kemmy Badenknock has responded to that on X She has written, 319 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 3: I will not shut up. I will not be silenced 320 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:07,160 Speaker 3: by men who prioritize applause from stone Wall over the 321 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 3: safety of women and girls. A rich, lefty white mouse 322 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 3: celebrity is so blinded by ideology he can't see the 323 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 3: optics of attacking the only black women in government by 324 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:23,359 Speaker 3: calling publicly for my existence to end. She makes an 325 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 3: excellent point there, Stephanie, how do you see this clash? 326 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,959 Speaker 11: I think his comments were vile and disgusting and he 327 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,439 Speaker 11: should absolutely apologize. If he had made those comments to 328 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 11: anyone else will be Goldberg, for example, they would be 329 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:42,360 Speaker 11: yelling out that he was being racist, misogynist, inciting violence. 330 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 11: But because Kemy is the wrong sort of woman, somehow 331 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 11: it's okay. I think David should go and speak to 332 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 11: some of the women who've been victims of this gender ideology. 333 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 11: There is a reason the UK banned men transferring into 334 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 11: women's prisons or into hospital because women were being sexually 335 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 11: assaulted by male predators who identified as were, So if 336 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 11: I were David, I would go and speak to some 337 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 11: of those victims and then give a public apology to Kemi. 338 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 3: I think he needs to do more than a public apology. 339 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 3: Some of his viewpoints on this are just so extreme, Stephanie, 340 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 3: you really wonder what's happening in the entertainment world. But 341 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,199 Speaker 3: as you saw there, he's getting awards for it, so 342 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 3: this is rewarded. 343 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 5: While someone like JK. 344 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 3: Rowling they demonize as a bigot for stating very much 345 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 3: mainstream views. 346 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 5: Now, one of my. 347 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 3: Favorite writers and broadcasters is also a comic. Andrew Doyle 348 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:40,880 Speaker 3: has written a fantastic piece for Spiked magazine urging gay 349 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 3: people to turn their backs on Pride. He says pride 350 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 3: has transformed from an important act of resistance into a 351 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 3: month long orgy of corporatism virtue signaling full of heterosexuals 352 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 3: desperate to identify themselves into an oppressed group with the 353 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 3: help of trans ida theology. A poll from twenty twenty 354 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 3: one determined that almost forty percent of Americans between the 355 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 3: ages of eighteen and twenty four now identify as LGBTQ. 356 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 3: Given the vast majority identifying as such do so as 357 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 3: trans non binary and queer. This means it is statistically 358 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 3: certain that gay people are now the minority in this coalition. 359 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 3: The early pioneers of gay rights didn't risk so much 360 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 3: for their movement to be You're served by fetishists, heterosexuals 361 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 3: with a martyr complex. So he's got away with words. 362 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 3: I've got to say, there is definitely seventy a split 363 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 3: appearing among some members of the LGBTQIA plus plus community. 364 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 3: And you've got those first three letters and some members 365 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,479 Speaker 3: who identify as those first three letters wanting to distance 366 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:55,119 Speaker 3: themselves from the remainder of the expanding group. 367 00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 11: Absolutely, I think this movement has been hijacked by activists. 368 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 11: It's no longer about equal rights and acceptance. They are 369 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 11: running a radical gender ideology that's incredibly harmful. Kids who 370 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 11: don't subscribe to typical gender stereotypes such as masculine and 371 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,640 Speaker 11: femininity are told they're born in the wrong body. 372 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,400 Speaker 1: Men in their. 373 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 11: Fifties are saying they're born in the wrong body and 374 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 11: they're now lesbians. I mean, they are losing their rights. 375 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 11: There's no room for discussion or debate. You're either an 376 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,639 Speaker 11: ally or you're the enemy. And I think it's causing 377 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 11: enormous harm, particularly in the LGB movement. The LGB without 378 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,360 Speaker 11: the T you can see why there is a push 379 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,959 Speaker 11: push away. Reasonable minded people are abandoning this more and 380 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,439 Speaker 11: more increasingly, particularly as the Pride movement gets more and 381 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:45,120 Speaker 11: more extreme. 382 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,399 Speaker 3: And it's hard to argue that this is an oppressed 383 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 3: group in the West where you've got every corporate, every institution, 384 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:56,719 Speaker 3: the celebrity. 385 00:21:56,080 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 5: Class, the activist class, everyone push this agenda. 386 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 3: So this whole notion that this is an oppressed, underrepresented group, 387 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 3: I think is something else that needs to be debated. 388 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,919 Speaker 3: Seventy Bastion, thank you so much for your time this evening. 389 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 3: Thank you reader still to come.

These chargers would 502 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 3: have never been manufactured if Trump wasn't running. 503 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 9: The trial in New York, the one he got convicted 504 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 9: for was the greatest fundraising bonanzaver is. Now he was 505 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 9: lagging behind Biden, and now he's pulled quite a bit ahead. 506 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 9: That trial was the greatest reason people had to send 507 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 9: their checks for five, ten, twenty five whatever dollars to 508 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 9: Donald Trump. So I was always with you on the 509 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 9: one in New York, the hush money trial. I don't 510 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 9: think they should have brought that one. It was just 511 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 9: always going to look like a sex case and people 512 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 9: were always just going to look at it that way. 513 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 16: So anyway, that case, the attorney general's case in New York, frankly, 514 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 16: should have never been brought. And if his name was 515 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,720 Speaker 16: not Donald Trump, and if he wasn't running for president, 516 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 16: I'm the former agent in New York. I'm telling you 517 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 16: that case would have never been brought. And that's what 518 00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 16: is offensive to people, and it should be because if 519 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 16: there's anything left, it's belief in the justice. 520 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 3: Sym Joining me now is journalists and filmmaker Army Horowitz. 521 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 3: Army the front page of the New York Post says 522 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 3: it all betrayal. There is Alvin Bragg there who has 523 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 3: dropped charges against anti Israeli activists who rampaged at Columbia University. 524 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 5: The New York district. 525 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 3: Attorney who brought Donald Trump to trial is letting the 526 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 3: violent processes of Scott Free and Army. 527 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 5: I would say this sets a dangerous precedent. 528 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 3: Is it okay to aggressively harass and intimidate Jewish people 529 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 3: in New York these days? 530 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 12: Yeah, this is a disgusting betrayal. And I'm not even 531 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 12: the least bit surprised. Unfortunately, this is Derah Gore for 532 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 12: what's happening in our blue cities. When people attack Jews, 533 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 12: it's fine, It's open season when it comes to the 534 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 12: harassment of Jews. Look, this has been I was with 535 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 12: this Columbia protesters. I did videos with them, I spent 536 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 12: hours with them. They were aggressive, they were nasty, they 537 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 12: were physical, they were literally physically intimidating Jewish students from 538 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 12: attending classes before any arrest happened whatsoever. And look I 539 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 12: helped to remind you we talked about the show before. 540 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 12: When I went and I took out the American flag 541 00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 12: at a public campus, and I paid taxes for When 542 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 12: I was attacked aggressively by these protesters, I was attained, 543 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 12: not anybody who attacked me, who beat me. And when 544 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 12: I was detained, I was talking to the police and 545 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 12: why would why am I under arrest? They said, well, 546 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,200 Speaker 12: we have a mandate from above. Of course we'll talking 547 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 12: about Alvin Bragg, of course talking about the mayor. This 548 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 12: is the situation we have in New York. And of 549 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 12: course if you don't fight back against these people, you're 550 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 12: going to get more of this. Right, That's what we 551 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 12: saw in the synagogue in California, and they stopped Jews 552 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,960 Speaker 12: from entering synagogues because they know it's open season that 553 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 12: it's fine. 554 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,880 Speaker 3: Well, it seems to be an issue that goes beyond 555 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:08,800 Speaker 3: these protests. We've seen violent criminals who are released again 556 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 3: and again, whilst you've got brag preoccupied with this nonsense 557 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 3: with Trump. Now that's out of the way, but it 558 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 3: seems that philosophy of not putting people in jail when 559 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:25,000 Speaker 3: they commit violent offenses is continuing in New York. Is 560 00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 3: there going to be any change in that? Is there 561 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 3: any sort of uprising from the local population there who 562 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 3: are sick of the crime rate. 563 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,440 Speaker 12: Yeah, no, people see. This is what we are finding 564 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 12: is that people when they are even if they are 565 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 12: left of center, right and they're Democrats, when they're confronted 566 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:49,360 Speaker 12: with reality, they in fact do start to show their discomfort. 567 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 12: You know, I think you're now seeing in the polls 568 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:57,320 Speaker 12: across the country where in states where Democrats have dominated, 569 00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,960 Speaker 12: right in Virginia where Republican hasn't won over twenty years, 570 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:04,080 Speaker 12: in Minnesota republic has on over fifteen years, right in 571 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,480 Speaker 12: New York state, or Republican hasn't won also in over 572 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:10,239 Speaker 12: twenty five years, we're seeing these things creep within the 573 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,759 Speaker 12: margin of error or be tied or in the state 574 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,800 Speaker 12: of New York, far better than ever done before. Because 575 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,960 Speaker 12: whether it comes with crime or immigration, I think people 576 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:22,080 Speaker 12: now see, even Democrats, this cannot work. 577 00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:23,480 Speaker 5: This cannot stand. 578 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:25,480 Speaker 14: Well. 579 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,160 Speaker 3: Donald Trump and Joe Biden and we'll face off in 580 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:33,319 Speaker 3: their first televised election debate for twenty twenty four. It's 581 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 3: this Thursday, Friday morning, our time. The rules they've set 582 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:41,880 Speaker 3: out for this debate seem to favor Joe Biden, things 583 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 3: like muting the microphones unless it's their turn to speak, 584 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 3: and no live audience, and really, does anyone think the 585 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:52,920 Speaker 3: Biden camp hasn't got the questions already? And this debate 586 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 3: is on a vehemently anti Trump network CNN that relentlessly 587 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:03,800 Speaker 3: pushed every conspiracy theory and hoax, from the Russian collusion 588 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,880 Speaker 3: hoax to the fine people on both sides lie, to 589 00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:12,279 Speaker 3: the Hunter Biden laptop being Russian disinformation and army. The 590 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:17,760 Speaker 3: debate is going to be moderated by two Trump deranged individuals, 591 00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:21,840 Speaker 3: Jake Tapper and Dana Bash. Now everyone knows what a 592 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:25,120 Speaker 3: biased hack Bash is, but some still think despite his 593 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:31,000 Speaker 3: part in enthusiastically pushing every anti Trump disinformation we've heard 594 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,960 Speaker 3: in recent years, a lot of people still. 595 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,960 Speaker 5: Think Tape is a straight shooter. But just have a 596 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,400 Speaker 5: look at this. See how overjoyed. 597 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 3: He was when he learned Trump would no longer be president. 598 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:49,279 Speaker 17: Extreme divisions, many of the divisions caused and exacerbated by 599 00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 17: President Trump himself. It's been a time of several significant 600 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:58,160 Speaker 17: and utterly avoidable failures, most tragically, of course, the unwillingness 601 00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 17: to respect facts and signs and do everything that could 602 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,319 Speaker 17: be done to save lives during a pandemic. It has 603 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:07,000 Speaker 17: been a time where truth in fact, we're treated with disdain. 604 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:11,160 Speaker 1: It is a time of cruelty. We're official in. 605 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:15,840 Speaker 17: Humanity, such as child separation became the official shameful policy 606 00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 17: of the United States. But now the Trump presidency is 607 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:23,520 Speaker 17: coming to an end, to an end with so many 608 00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:27,319 Speaker 17: squandered opportunities and ruined potential, but also an era of 609 00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:31,800 Speaker 17: just plain meanness. It must be said, to paraphrase President Ford, 610 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:36,400 Speaker 17: for tens of millions of our fellow Americans, their long 611 00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:38,560 Speaker 17: national nightmare is over. 612 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:42,280 Speaker 5: The nightmare is over. 613 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,960 Speaker 3: The meanness of the border policies. Are me not respecting 614 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,719 Speaker 3: the COVID science? That little ranch hasn't an h too? 615 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:49,960 Speaker 5: Well? 616 00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:56,440 Speaker 12: No, Look, I actually have no Jake Taper a little bit. 617 00:36:57,719 --> 00:36:59,680 Speaker 12: We're someone in contact with each other. I kind of 618 00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:03,160 Speaker 12: like personally, and I think that everything res relative speaking, 619 00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:06,000 Speaker 12: I think relative to other people on CNN ORSNBC. He's 620 00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,799 Speaker 12: not that terrible. He is absolutely no fans. 621 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:11,960 Speaker 5: True. 622 00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:12,560 Speaker 1: True. 623 00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,520 Speaker 12: Look, at the end of the day, why did Trump 624 00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:19,040 Speaker 12: take the debates so quickly even though he knew that 625 00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,680 Speaker 12: it was stacked against him. He didn't because Joe Biden 626 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,040 Speaker 12: wasn't going to debate otherwise. Right, Look, we were debating 627 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,440 Speaker 12: this and talking about this before uh there was a 628 00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,560 Speaker 12: good chance there will be a first time in presidential history, 629 00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,840 Speaker 12: modern presidential history that there wasn't going to be a debate. 630 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,560 Speaker 12: Trump knew that and needed to make this move in 631 00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,719 Speaker 12: order to get Biden to debate. We all know the 632 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:43,120 Speaker 12: bias against Republican candidates on these debate stages. This is 633 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,880 Speaker 12: nothing new. The debates are run by the mainstream media, 634 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,359 Speaker 12: they're hosted by the mainstream media, and we all know 635 00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:52,799 Speaker 12: statistically they vote Democratic, no question about it. But the 636 00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:57,239 Speaker 12: truth is this debate it is so important because you 637 00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:00,239 Speaker 12: know this, this race is so tight that even though 638 00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,439 Speaker 12: Trump is leading in a lot of the battleground state, 639 00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:05,680 Speaker 12: they're all in a statistical dead heat and there aren't 640 00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,400 Speaker 12: going to be many inflection points to the course of 641 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,960 Speaker 12: this election. This is going to be one of those 642 00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:14,200 Speaker 12: inflection points. And in fact, I do think that this 643 00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 12: debate will set the trajectory for the rest of this election. 644 00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:21,400 Speaker 12: It will be very difficult if somebody takes a large 645 00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,040 Speaker 12: lead from this debate, it will be very hard for 646 00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,480 Speaker 12: that other person to come back. So I think this 647 00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:30,680 Speaker 12: is important. I think frankly, counterintuguli, countertutinally, the MIC's being 648 00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,240 Speaker 12: shut off may actually help Trump in a couple of ways. 649 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,480 Speaker 12: First of all, it goes against his It kind of 650 00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,279 Speaker 12: pulls him back from his self destructive nature of kind 651 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,920 Speaker 12: of being a little bit of a jerk on a camera, 652 00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,480 Speaker 12: which he can be sometimes a little bit over aggressive. 653 00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,040 Speaker 12: I think he does better when he's calm, cool and collected. 654 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,600 Speaker 12: I think this will force him to do that. And frankly, 655 00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:52,960 Speaker 12: you want Joe Biden to have time right and not 656 00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,040 Speaker 12: to be in terrupted by Trump, because when we haves time, 657 00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,920 Speaker 12: that's when you see Biden's self destruct. He may not 658 00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,440 Speaker 12: even make it through the entire time that he has 659 00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:02,200 Speaker 12: a lot of them, we've seen it before. It had 660 00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 12: a minute, we start fifteen seconds short to stare at 661 00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,280 Speaker 12: the camera. So that actually could work in Trump's favor. 662 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:13,160 Speaker 3: Well, he's going to be practicing like hell for the 663 00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:18,440 Speaker 3: next few days in preparation. And it's interesting because it's 664 00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,640 Speaker 3: a poll that's been released showing seventy percent of voters 665 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,880 Speaker 3: want Donald Trump and Joe Biden to submit to drug 666 00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:29,560 Speaker 3: testing before the debate. Remember, Trump accused Biden of being 667 00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,360 Speaker 3: as high as a kite and all jacked up during 668 00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,560 Speaker 3: his State of the Union address back in March, and 669 00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:37,640 Speaker 3: I want to say, I mean, I like this idea, 670 00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,080 Speaker 3: particularly when it comes to Joe Biden, because there is 671 00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:44,240 Speaker 3: such a vast difference in that Joe Biden's we see 672 00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:48,280 Speaker 3: these days and it's hard to explain. He can be lucid, 673 00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,040 Speaker 3: almost speed talking like he was during the State of 674 00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,880 Speaker 3: the Union, and then he seems utterly lost and slow 675 00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:57,600 Speaker 3: and incoherent. But before you go, I've got to ask 676 00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 3: you about Star Wars. We covered this earlier in the year, 677 00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:07,000 Speaker 3: this painfully woke new series The Acolyte. It's getting a 678 00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:11,520 Speaker 3: massive backlash from fans. The audience score on Rotten Tomatoes 679 00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:15,560 Speaker 3: is thirteen percent, which is terrible, but the critics naturally 680 00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,080 Speaker 3: love it. It's got eighty five percent with the critics. 681 00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:22,000 Speaker 3: But Elion Mask, a Star Wars fan, has said Lucasfilms 682 00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:26,120 Speaker 3: has killed Star Wars with its woke propaganda, calling President 683 00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:28,840 Speaker 3: Kathleen Kennedy more deadly. 684 00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,560 Speaker 5: Than the Death Star. How do you see this? Is 685 00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:37,160 Speaker 5: there anything redeeming about this series? Are people I don't know? 686 00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:41,080 Speaker 3: Are people overreacting or has the series been killed? 687 00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:41,359 Speaker 5: Now? 688 00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:48,719 Speaker 12: Look, it just befuddles me that companies, in this case 689 00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:53,360 Speaker 12: Star Wars would take such overtly political positions and essentially 690 00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:57,120 Speaker 12: pooh pooh and at fifty percent of the population that 691 00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,920 Speaker 12: buys their products, Like Michael Jordan famously said, when you 692 00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,920 Speaker 12: asked why is he not taking more social positions, he says, 693 00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:07,080 Speaker 12: because Republicans buy shoes too. Right, That's a sentiment that 694 00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:11,560 Speaker 12: every company, particularly one that stockholders should seriously, should should 695 00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:15,799 Speaker 12: should learn from. Disney's stock is down fifty percent since 696 00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:19,960 Speaker 12: twenty twenty one. Okay, Ultimately that's who they have to 697 00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,440 Speaker 12: They have to satisfy the shareholders. They are not doing that. 698 00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:25,480 Speaker 12: This whole idea about I need to you have to 699 00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:29,239 Speaker 12: diversify storytelling so you could identify with the characters on 700 00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:31,640 Speaker 12: camera makes it has never made sense to me. Look, 701 00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,040 Speaker 12: I'm a Jewish person. They're not the many Jewish people 702 00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:36,799 Speaker 12: of Star Wars. Yet is to identify with the good 703 00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,000 Speaker 12: Star Wars not the crappy Star Wars have been many 704 00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:43,239 Speaker 12: crappy star Wars. But yeah, look, because it's about good 705 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,640 Speaker 12: versus evil, doesn't matter you're a black or white, or 706 00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,640 Speaker 12: woman or a man. You could identify with that. And 707 00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,040 Speaker 12: I think that they are really doing themselves at the 708 00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:54,239 Speaker 12: service by focusing and leaning into woken, so it doesn't 709 00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:57,440 Speaker 12: make any sense, and it's killing them. 710 00:41:57,800 --> 00:41:59,840 Speaker 5: It is, but it's so ideological. 711 00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:05,440 Speaker 3: They copying the self harm, they're copying the audience backlash, 712 00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:10,360 Speaker 3: the share price plummeting, all the bad press they're getting Disney, 713 00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:13,279 Speaker 3: and they just keep pushing this barrow. You got to 714 00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,880 Speaker 3: think at some point there's got to be a stop 715 00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:19,480 Speaker 3: to it. Army Horowitz, we always enjoy having you, and 716 00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:22,279 Speaker 3: we'll speak to you next time. The debate would have 717 00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:24,400 Speaker 3: been run and one, and I'll be looking forward to 718 00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:25,160 Speaker 3: your insights. 719 00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:28,280 Speaker 5: Was your pleasure still to come? 720 00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:33,040 Speaker 3: A look inside Melbourne's Cedy City Center as residents and 721 00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:35,399 Speaker 3: traders demand action on. 722 00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:45,399 Speaker 5: Clime Welcome back. 723 00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:49,520 Speaker 3: Joining me now is Herald Sun reporter Suzanne Dela Basic. Suzan, 724 00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:53,839 Speaker 3: you recently braved Melbourne's city streets after dark. 725 00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:55,680 Speaker 5: You had a go pro camera. 726 00:42:55,880 --> 00:43:01,400 Speaker 3: Tell me what you saw and experienced Melbourne because we 727 00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:04,440 Speaker 3: prided ourselves on being the world's most livable city for 728 00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:07,480 Speaker 3: many years, but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. 729 00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:11,080 Speaker 18: Well, I can tell you now, reader. Within moments of 730 00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:14,880 Speaker 18: switching on that go pro camera, I had a man 731 00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:20,040 Speaker 18: who was intoxicated approach me. So the whole idea of 732 00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:21,960 Speaker 18: it was to see what it's like for a woman 733 00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:25,840 Speaker 18: to be walking around the CBD. So within moments, as 734 00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:28,400 Speaker 18: I said, of turning on the camera, Matt approached me. 735 00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:31,880 Speaker 18: He was intoxicated. I also had security with me too. 736 00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,719 Speaker 5: You're lucky, most of us don't have security. 737 00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:38,520 Speaker 3: No, So within and you've had some intoxicated man, you 738 00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:41,640 Speaker 3: had aggressive people approach. 739 00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:47,360 Speaker 18: You, Yes, so I had a group of aggressive teens 740 00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:51,280 Speaker 18: approach me. That was at the State Library. That's actually 741 00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:55,640 Speaker 18: where I saw someone openly injecting, So it was quite confronting, 742 00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:59,560 Speaker 18: to be honest. I also saw a man on Elizabeth 743 00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:06,440 Speaker 18: Street lying motionless after just taking drugs. Just so concerning reader. 744 00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:08,680 Speaker 5: And these are for the people who don't know Melbourne. 745 00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:13,400 Speaker 3: The major streets there, Elizabeth Street, the State Library, Swanston Walk, 746 00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:17,920 Speaker 3: so you're not exactly going down tiny alleyways where you 747 00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:21,000 Speaker 3: might expect to see someone shooting up drugs. Were was 748 00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:24,040 Speaker 3: that much of a police presidence presence? Were the police 749 00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:25,279 Speaker 3: intervening in any of this? 750 00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:28,319 Speaker 18: Look, there was a police presence around. We did see 751 00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:32,239 Speaker 18: a police presence, but from what I could see, they 752 00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:35,759 Speaker 18: weren't intervening, And obviously that was just because when these 753 00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:39,040 Speaker 18: things were going on, they had they had done them 754 00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:42,919 Speaker 18: without obviously without sight of with without police being in sight. 755 00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:45,920 Speaker 18: So I think that's where what it comes to that 756 00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:51,080 Speaker 18: they should be checking these alleyways and actually be monitoring 757 00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:52,120 Speaker 18: all of the streets. 758 00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:57,120 Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, And we've got a homeless issue in Melbourne. 759 00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,120 Speaker 3: I know a lot of capital cities would have this, 760 00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:03,879 Speaker 3: but we've also got aggression from some homeless people who 761 00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:07,879 Speaker 3: are drug affected. And that is happening not just for 762 00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:10,960 Speaker 3: tourists or people who visit the city occasionally, but the 763 00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:15,280 Speaker 3: traders and people who work in the cities talk about 764 00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:20,440 Speaker 3: being spat on, being chased, being sworn at. It's not 765 00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:22,839 Speaker 3: the sort of environment you would expect in a first 766 00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:23,560 Speaker 3: world city. 767 00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:27,200 Speaker 18: It's not and I can actually tell you so. After 768 00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:30,160 Speaker 18: I did the walk in the CBD, I ended up 769 00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:32,640 Speaker 18: going back out to businesses to see how they were 770 00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:36,440 Speaker 18: feeling too, just to sort of basically discuss what I 771 00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:41,880 Speaker 18: had seen with them. And one trader, as I mentioned 772 00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:45,160 Speaker 18: in my story, had been punched in the face. She 773 00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:49,359 Speaker 18: had been spat on. Another I actually saw footage at 774 00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:52,000 Speaker 18: another store of just a trader doing his job and 775 00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:55,600 Speaker 18: he was just attacked. Workers can't even put out their 776 00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:59,600 Speaker 18: bins because there are drug users openly injecting and blocking 777 00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:00,000 Speaker 18: their bins. 778 00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:01,360 Speaker 1: And that's onto Grave. 779 00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:06,359 Speaker 3: Street again, another big tourist strip, one of the sort 780 00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:08,799 Speaker 3: of highlights of Melbourne, one of those lane ways that 781 00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:12,080 Speaker 3: we advertise to the rest of the country in the 782 00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:14,360 Speaker 3: world to come and visit exactly. 783 00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:17,680 Speaker 18: So hearing all of that, I mean, it is really concerning. 784 00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:21,840 Speaker 18: And these traders they want to see a stronger police presence, 785 00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:24,759 Speaker 18: They want to see more action by the council, they 786 00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:27,520 Speaker 18: want to see more action by the state government because 787 00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:30,839 Speaker 18: they just feel like obviously all of their concerns are 788 00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:33,520 Speaker 18: falling on deaf ears and why should they be made 789 00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:34,399 Speaker 18: to work in fear? 790 00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:35,200 Speaker 1: They shouldn't. 791 00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:39,920 Speaker 3: Absolutely, and ninety three percent of respondents at the Herald 792 00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:43,360 Speaker 3: Sun said they did not feel safe in the city, 793 00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:47,080 Speaker 3: so this was not an isolated experience for you. And 794 00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:51,480 Speaker 3: the Crime Statistics Agency data also paints a very ugly picture. 795 00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:55,440 Speaker 3: Reveals police recorded more than twenty one thousand offenses in 796 00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:59,480 Speaker 3: the CBD this year ending March twenty twenty four, compared 797 00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:03,799 Speaker 3: to nineteen thousand, six hundred and twelve last year, so 798 00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:07,680 Speaker 3: a significant rise there. They should be going down nineteen thousand, 799 00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:11,839 Speaker 3: I would suggest is a high enough figure. What are 800 00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:16,040 Speaker 3: the authorities doing to tackle this? You mentioned the Police Council, 801 00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:17,240 Speaker 3: the state government. 802 00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:20,319 Speaker 5: Is there a task force? Is this some attempt to 803 00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:21,279 Speaker 5: do something about this? 804 00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:24,120 Speaker 18: Well, earlier this year are the City of Melbourne held 805 00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:28,960 Speaker 18: a roundtable with the state government with police, traders, residents, 806 00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:32,880 Speaker 18: but that has had I think little effect on the 807 00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:38,200 Speaker 18: city and police. They've told me that they've got hundreds 808 00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:42,960 Speaker 18: of officers patrolling, especially around the Elizabeth Street and Swanston 809 00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:46,400 Speaker 18: Street areas. But again going out to traders and speaking 810 00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:50,040 Speaker 18: with them, they say that they've actually said, can there 811 00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:54,200 Speaker 18: be a dedicated police hub in Elizabeth Street? They want 812 00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:58,480 Speaker 18: to see more police because Rita. The footage that I 813 00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:03,200 Speaker 18: was given from these business says FPOs machines being thrown 814 00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:08,879 Speaker 18: at workers and like objects being thrown at them too, 815 00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:12,080 Speaker 18: and if they're not given free pizza, particularly as you 816 00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:15,879 Speaker 18: mentioned before with the home people living with homelessness, they 817 00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:19,319 Speaker 18: in one case actual a worker was abused for not 818 00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:20,760 Speaker 18: giving someone a free pizza. 819 00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:26,040 Speaker 3: There's an expectation now that you will give them free food, 820 00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:29,240 Speaker 3: or if you're passing by and they're asking for money, 821 00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:33,759 Speaker 3: that you will give them something and sometimes that's where 822 00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:37,520 Speaker 3: these attacks happen. I mean, I'm pretty bold about walking 823 00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:40,640 Speaker 3: around after dark people, so I'm reckless. But there's one 824 00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:43,360 Speaker 3: area of Melbourne I would not go, and that's Elizabeth 825 00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:47,279 Speaker 3: Street near Flinders Street.
