WEBVTT - The Late Debate | 26 December 0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:04.800 Late Wait, welcome the Late Bait. 0:00:06.960 --> 0:00:09.360 Hello and welcome to the Late Debate. 0:00:09.480 --> 0:00:12.680 Thank you for your company this evening, I'm Gabriella Power 0:00:12.720 --> 0:00:17.160 and joining us is Joe Hildebrand and Freileach. Coming up, 0:00:17.239 --> 0:00:20.640 John Persudo's time as Victorian Liberal leader could be up 0:00:20.640 --> 0:00:24.560 by tomorrow morning. Shadow Minister for Crime Prevention Brad Batton 0:00:24.720 --> 0:00:27.520 is set to challenge John Persudo for the leadership, and 0:00:27.600 --> 0:00:31.720 Shadow Finance Minister Jess Wilson has also confirmed that she'll 0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:33.800 be throwing her hat in the ring too, although it 0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:36.440 appears that she won't have the numbers to win, and 0:00:36.520 --> 0:00:41.200 more redeeming could be allowed back to the party. Also tonight, 0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:44.559 we'll look at the University of Minnesota's new research project 0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:48.920 that's looking for gender diverse children as young as five 0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:51.920 to play with transgender dolls. 0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:53.400 Yes, that's seriously happening. 0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:56.880 But first let's go to the US because President elect 0:00:56.880 --> 0:01:00.400 Donald Trump has shared his Christmas message and it is 0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:03.920 brilliant trolling the radical left to always try to find 0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:07.479 a way to ruin this special and holy day. Donald 0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:11.280 Trump posted on Truth Social Merry Christmas to the radical 0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:14.840 left lunatics who are constantly trying to obstruct our court 0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:16.320 system and our elections. 0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:17.919 They know that their. 0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:20.680 Only chance of survival is getting pardons from a man 0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:24.800 who has absolutely no idea what he's doing. And also 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:28.120 Donald Trump wanted to take aim at Justin Toddeau. He 0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:32.120 said to Governor Justin Todeau of Canada, whose citizens taxes 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:33.160 are far too high. 0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:35.119 But if Canada was to become our. 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:38.520 Fist fifty first date, their taxes would be cut by 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:43.320 more than sixty percent. Rather, we've also heard from President 0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:45.959 Joe Biden, if we can remember him, and he shared 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:48.240 Christmas message and he. 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:50.560 Doesn't even feature in it. Let's take a look at this. 0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:55.560 There's a certain stillness at the center of christ restoring 0:01:57.080 --> 0:02:00.640 shale and night when all the world ruins quiet, all 0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:03.800 the noise, everything is the wisest, all fades away, and 0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:09.679 still listen to the winter's evening, and we looked to 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:14.320 the sky, a long star shining bread and all the rest, 0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:17.000 guiding us to the birth of a child. 0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:19.720 It goes on for a couple of minutes, but that 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:23.600 just gives me a headache. But this podcaster Joe Rogan 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:25.800 has summed it up brilliantly. 0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:28.000 He has shared this video that really. 0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:30.200 Captures the difference between the left and the right tag 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:30.840 a Look. 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:33.639 How dare we speak Merry Christmas? 0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:38.280 How dare we well guess what we're saying? 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:42.920 Mary Christmas again, Joe? How good is that? But it 0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:45.880 shows you what kind of different world we would be living. 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:49.840 It is amazing. And you see all these things like 0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:52.720 how dare you have merry Christmas when there are people 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:56.080 suffering in Palestine? It's like, are we not allowed to 0:02:56.120 --> 0:03:00.000 be happy about anything ever because someone somewhere is not happy? 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:04.520 Because that would eliminate, eradicate all happiness among all people 0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:08.000 for all time. But look, I particularly enjoyed the Joe 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:12.200 Biden one because it reminded me of that guy you're 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:16.000 sitting next to at the dinner table at Christmas Day 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:19.040 and you're not quite sure how you're related. You think 0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:22.359 maybe maybe your great Auntie might have hooked up with 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:26.200 him at the Bowls club just because he's got nowhere 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:28.800 else to go, and it just starts telling you what 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:35.040 Christmas means to him, and you're goings and it It 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:37.680 just makes no sense. And also that Christmas tree in 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:41.200 the White House is an abomination. My mother in law 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:43.040 who gave me this beautiful shirt that I'm wearing, by 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:47.480 the way, thanks Jill, that has a little smaller one 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:50.560 of the sort of wooden sort of I don't know, 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:53.760 is it deco Is it the deconstructed Christmas tree where 0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:57.200 you know, each sort of little thing slides around and 0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:00.560 blah blah blah. It's like that is not a fir tree. 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:02.120 That is not a Christmas tree. The whole idea of 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:05.440 a Christmas tree is that it is an evergreen tree 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:09.200 that even in the very depths of winter, still produces 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:14.280 it as the song goes, it's lovely, lustrous branches, and 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:16.200 you're just reducing it that. 0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:18.760 What that is metal. 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:22.760 It's just I mean, firstly, it's a safety hazard. There 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:24.800 are any children in the White House, they'd come out 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:29.120 with eye patches. They'd be like long John Silver. And secondly, 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:31.560 it's just not Christmas y. And I do appreciate the 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:36.520 irony that every year I take an evergreen Christmas tree 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:40.119 and cut it down so it immediately dies within about 0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:40.760 three weeks. 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:41.479 But I don't care. 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:46.279 Simple it's Christmas. Have to get around the key traditions alive. 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:47.000 But freyer. 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:50.360 Donald Trump also slammed the criminals that Joe Biden commuted 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:53.159 earlier in the week, he said, also to the thirty 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:57.280 seven most violent criminals who killed and raped people once before, 0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:00.560 who were just given a pardon in incredible will pardon 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:03.440 by sleepy Joe Biden, he refuses to wish them a 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:07.000 Merry Christmas. To those lucky souls that will instead say 0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:09.160 go to hell. 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:11.360 We just had the greatest election. 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:14.159 In history of our country, and the bright light is 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:17.119 now shining over the USA, and in twenty six days 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:17.599 we will. 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:19.800 Make America a great again. Merry Christmas. 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:22.599 But I think that message would be one that many 0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:27.080 of the families of those victims, who you know, would 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:30.760 really appreciate, seeing as those violent criminals were part and 0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:34.400 just days before Christmas. It is the most quintessentially Trump 0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:37.880 Christmas message anyone could ever possibly produce. 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:41.200 It's like you can just hear Trump through that tweet, 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:43.640 which I love. And I think it's good that he's 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:49.040 acknowledging the incredible commuting of thirty seven death row sentences, 0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:54.160 because that was pretty extraordinary. But I mean, Biden's Christmas 0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:57.400 message was also very strange. I actually have a theory 0:05:57.440 --> 0:05:59.320 that it could even be AI generated. 0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:01.640 It's just an AI generated. 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:04.240 Voice at Biden the guy's on his deathbed. He's not 0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:06.640 getting out of bed this Christmas for anyone, let alone 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:09.440 the American people. And so one of his staffers has 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:13.200 just gone into chat GPT put in some inputs of 0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:16.000 his voice, his audio. There'd be plenty on the internet 0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:19.560 to make some sort of cogent voiceover, and then boom, 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:22.080 that's the Christmas message, because why else is he not 0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:25.760 even appearing, not even a token Jill and Joe, nothing 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:28.320 at all. So I think it's AI and he could 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:29.000 actually be dead. 0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:32.440 That is ingenious. That is the best Biden take I've 0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:34.920 heard in all of twenty twenty four. And my only 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:39.440 question is if they AI generated Biden's Christmas message, why 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:42.359 didn't they just AI generate his entire presidency? 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:47.839 Well, so much better off they kept him here instead 0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:50.039 of juiced up Joe, you know, and they didn't get 0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:52.919 the timing of his dosage quite right, going out and 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:54.400 sort of crumbling. 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:58.320 Maybe send out a hologram, Yes, just cut that, you know, 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:02.200 I do it via zoom. Oh yes, why hello Joe, 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:03.360 Oh hello America. 0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:05.799 Yeah, but that really struggle when he had to finally 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:10.400 hold press conferences and had to finally never hold press conferences. 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:13.000 You know, he refused to hold. 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:15.360 Doors stopped on the way to Marine Wine. It's like, Oh, 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:18.320 there's all these reporters. Do you the presidential helicopter. Oh yeah, 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:21.000 I'm just going out to dick some ass for America. Okay, 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:21.840 thank you very much. 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:23.040 We're in for fun. 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:24.720 Four years is. 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:26.480 Going to be a lot better than the fall that 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:28.600 we've had. But it is this special time of the 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:31.440 year where we spend our precious time with our loved 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:34.880 ones and celebrate with family and friends, except, of course, 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:37.840 for those on the far left who cannot bring themselves 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:40.880 to socialize with anyone who may vote differently to them. 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:44.880 A new poll found that Democrats are almost five times 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:48.880 as likely as Republicans to say that they'll spend less 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:52.640 time with certain family members because of their political views. 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:53.400 Shock horror. 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:56.840 The survey from p r R I'm also found that 0:07:56.880 --> 0:08:00.200 Democrats are more likely to view the Republican Party as 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:03.239 a serious threat to the country. Well, I wonder why 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:05.840 they think that. Well, maybe because of the left wing 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:09.920 media and you know who's also encouraging that politics should 0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:15.360 really come between relationships, this ivy league, psychiontrist. 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:18.160 If you are going into a situation where you have 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:21.400 family members, where you have close friends who you know 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:25.840 have voted in ways that are against you. It's completely 0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:28.720 fine to not be around those people and to tell 0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:31.240 them why, you know, to say, I have a problem 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:33.439 with the way that you voted. I'm not going to 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:34.600 be around you this holiday. 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:36.120 I need to take some space from me. 0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:40.800 Completely fine, completely healthy to just be in an echo 0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:44.480 chamber and essentially shut out anyone who votes differently to you. 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:47.080 Comedian at Bill Meyer has a weight in on this 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:49.920 and blasted his own side for behaving this way. 0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:55.000 Way back when a guy who crossed lines politically, who 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:57.600 the worst thing you could ever do? Be friends with 0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:01.240 a Republican call nine one one. Yeah, this is what 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:04.200 I hate about the left. Just the idea that you know, 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:07.640 cut your family on for Thanksgiving, things luned for the wrong. 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:09.920 He's making sense, Joe. 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:12.480 How sad is it that we're living in this world 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:15.800 that people actually believe that you don't need to invest 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:18.840 in your relationships anymore because they vote a certain way. 0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:21.640 It's incredibly sad. It's incredibly ridiculous. This is a fight 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:24.040 that Bill Maher has been fighting for it. Frankly, I 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:26.920 feel like I'm a slightly more handsome and less famous version. 0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:29.480 It's the sort of stuff that I've been shouting from 0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:32.880 the rooftops, so he's been shouting from the rooftops. It is, obviously, 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:35.760 it is. It is. And again I talk about sort 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:38.320 of ideology and ideological extremism all the time, but it 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:42.080 is that thing where you decide that your cause and 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:45.560 what you believe in your politics are more important than 0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:49.480 human relationships and more important than the feelings. And it 0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:52.120 starts out with the feelings, and then it quickly escalates 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:54.840 to the lives of other human beings, because you know, 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:58.840 the greater good, the ideal is, the utopia, is more important. 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:02.600 So again it's not that easy, difficult a step to make. 0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:06.839 From first you cut off people who you disagree with politically, 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:09.920 who don't agree or rather who don't agree with you politically, 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:13.080 then you gradually sort of dehumanizement. Pretty soon they're not 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:15.840 really people, and pretty soon they're just impediments on the 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:19.200 way to a glorious revolutionary utopia. And pretty soon that 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:20.360 means you have to get rid of them. And this 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:22.800 is the formula that has played out on the left 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:24.640 and the right. But the right is at least kind 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:27.360 of honest about it, but played out by the left, 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:29.679 you know, in countless revolutions, But tens of millions of 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:33.199 people have died from Mao's great leap forward and then 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:37.560 the Cultural Revolution to the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia and 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:40.640 the civil war that followed. All these people are expendable. 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:44.080 But it's okay because it's for the glorious revolution. The 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:46.199 Nazi said, all these people are expendable because they're just 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:48.280 not really human, and we hate them and we're superior 0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:50.200 to them. So at least there was a degree of 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:54.280 honesty that. But the other interesting thing about this is 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:58.720 that it represents the ultimate hypocrisy of the new Left, 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:01.560 which is that it is no longer about the collective. 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:03.840 It's no longer about the greater good. Now, if it 0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:06.560 was really about the greater good, what they'd be trying 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:09.640 to do is find out why people were voting for 0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:13.040 Donald Trump and how they or their side of politics 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:19.040 could make a more persuasive argument and therefore relieve the 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:22.040 world of this tyrannical dictator, Donald Trump, who apparently is 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:22.760 so harmful in topic. 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:24.880 They will don't. 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:27.720 Actually want to do that, That is the thing they're 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:31.120 not interested in actually achieving a result that would benefit 0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:34.400 the collective, that would benefit the whole country. All they 0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:38.360 care about is themselves. They have become the ultimate individualists. 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:44.280 And this psychiatrist from Yale University actually says that openly 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:46.920 without even knowing that she's saying it, when she says, 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:51.839 I need to take some space for me. I cannot 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:58.240 tolerate your existence, cannot tolerate family or friendship because I 0:11:58.679 --> 0:11:59.959 need this for men. 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:02.920 You know what important. 0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:06.240 This is. Greed is good stuff. This is the ultimate 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:09.400 what I need is more important than the harmony of 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:12.559 the family, than the harmony of the community, than Christmas 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:14.160 Day being at several ens. 0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:17.840 And these people are saying that with a straight face, 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:21.559 without even realizing what they're saying, and despite the fact 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:26.760 the effing academics from Yale University, like, you cannot make 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:27.400 this stuff up. 0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:30.880 This is beyond satire. It is just nuts. 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:33.760 Anyway, that's happening over in the States, but we're feeling 0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:36.200 it here in Australia too. People on the left just 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:39.000 shutting out anyone with different views. 0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:40.679 For sure, And I think it's part of this coddal 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:43.520 culture that we've kind of developed in the West. It's 0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:47.280 like anybody who possibly disagrees with me, that that is 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:51.360 interpreted as like a personal attack, and now I'm actually 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:55.280 under threat and my personhood to my very core, is 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:58.280 being challenged by just your presence and knowing that you 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:03.000 somehow disagree with me. So to protect myself, my own security, 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:05.920 I need to take some space for myself, as this 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:10.600 Yale psychiatrist says, and it's completely ridiculous. It's like someone's 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:14.080 political views are not going to hurt you, even if 0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:17.200 they disagree with you. We live in a democracy, that's 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:21.079 the whole point. We can change governments, we can change 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:24.520 policies through the ballot and without violence. 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:26.000 Like actually in the. 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:29.840 West, you can have disagreements with people and be safe 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:33.120 because we have democracy. But when people retreat into their 0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:35.160 echo chambers and go, oh no, it's too hard, it's 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:37.400 too much of a personal attack being around people that 0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:40.240 disagree with me. It's, as Joe says, over time that 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:44.040 actually does creep into growing intolerance, and on the left 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:47.480 it's resulted in the murder of tens of millions. 0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:49.680 That's right, and I will continue to be wiped out 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:52.640 by Donald Trump forever as long as the Democrats are 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:56.120 the party that represents that kind of thinking, which again, 0:13:56.480 --> 0:14:00.160 so they become parent. Well they have been, frankly, and 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:03.120 they've lost the working class that will just keep losing. 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:06.600 So again, these kinds of idiotic, self indulgent sooks are 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:10.760 going to produce more Trumps, more jd Vanceys, more Tea 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:15.560 Party Republican presidents than any prior movement before them. They 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:16.760 are the greatest gift to the right. 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:20.480 Of course, that psychiatrist was on MSNBC. They love that 0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:23.360 kind of viewpoint as well, and people have seemed to 0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:27.200 have forgotten that Christmas and Thanksgiving it's about giving thanks 0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:30.880 about spending precious, valuable time with the ones people you 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:32.400 have in your life and I've got to be around 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:35.200 forever anyway, it's about for them, it's. 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:35.760 About the self. 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:37.960 Actually, it's about taking care of me in the etaime, 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:40.880 because I feel like you're not respecting my wishes to 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:43.400 be the person that I want to be by being 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:46.440 the person that you are, which to me is unacceptable. 0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:48.240 Good accent, that's it, Okay. 0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:51.280 Bringing it back to Australia now, there's been chaos at 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:55.760 Sydney Beaches. Thousands of people, including tourists and backpackers, have 0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:59.520 taken part in a Christmas Day party at Bronte Beach. 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:01.000 And the bad thing about. 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:05.480 This is just the disrespect rather shown by people going 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:09.000 to these beautiful clean beaches and the amount of rubbish 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:11.560 that has been left behind. Some of the images show 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:17.080 bags of rubbish just everywhere, empty beer bottles, wine bottles left. 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:18.920 At the usually clean beach park. 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:21.920 More than two hundred and fifty additional garbage bins were 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:24.440 placed at Bronze Beach by the council in. 0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:26.080 Anticipation for this event. 0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:29.560 That it appeared to have made no difference, and residents 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:32.640 are really upset about this. They're voicing their concerns about 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:36.080 who's paying for this cleanup. They're suggesting that next year 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:38.400 partygoers should be charged. 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:40.240 Twenty dollars for a cleaning fee. 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:43.800 Just looking at all those images, it looks like a nightmare. 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:46.840 But it's frustrating that there's also an alcohol bound in 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:48.680 place and that appears to get ignored. 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:49.920 Frayer for sure. 0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:52.600 I mean there were full on DJ booth set up 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:54.480 like they're pretty enterprising. 0:15:54.520 --> 0:15:55.880 I must give them credit for that. 0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:59.680 And this is the challenge right Normally I'm pro fun 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:03.680 I'm like all those people complaining about noise you know, 0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:06.920 they're shutting down live music left right and center. Pubs 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:09.320 are having to close early. I just think that's the worst. 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:12.320 I'm like, come on, let us have fun. Young people 0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:14.720 are dealing with enough at the moment. Mental health is 0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:19.000 deteriorating rapidly. Like, just let people have fun. But when 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:23.600 fifteen thousand people rock up at a relatively small beach 0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:29.000 and trash the place, I struggle to be pro fun 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:31.880 in that instance. And I mean, if you had fifteen 0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:35.720 thousand people at any sort of other event, it would 0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:39.240 be a massive festival. This looks like a music festival. 0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:42.280 This was a huge should be a huge production that 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:45.840 would have a multimillion dollar budget to manage crowds, to 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:49.600 provide cleaning, poor to loose, like all the services that 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:52.520 we don't even think about, but that are required when 0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:55.360 you're dealing with this many thousands of people. And like, 0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:58.040 what happens if someone collapses because of heat stroke or 0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:00.680 cardiacgress or something. Can you get an ambulance into a 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:03.240 crowd of fifteen thousand people at Bronze Beach? 0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:05.920 So it's pretty it's pretty crazy. 0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:09.560 I have sympathy for the party goers because I'm like, yay, 0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:11.399 good on them, But at the same time it's like 0:17:11.560 --> 0:17:12.440 that is insane. 0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:15.080 Yeah, I'm with you being profun as much as we can, 0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:17.439 especially here in Australia. There are too many rules. But 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:19.879 it's just so sad seeing Bronti Beach like this. And 0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:22.320 the difference is it is at a beach. It is 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:25.760 a dangerous environment for tourists, for backpackers who aren't as 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:28.440 familiar with our beaches, and it puts pressure on the lifeguard. 0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:30.400 I've got a feel this is something that happens every 0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:33.200 year in Sydney and people around the country, but no, 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:36.040 Brontie Beach is one of the most sort of exclusive ritzy, 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:38.040 second only probably to bond Die in terms of the 0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:41.800 most exclusive neighborhood on those eastern beaches, which are the 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:46.480 most expensive real estate in the country. I have some 0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:51.159 pretty strong insights into this. I'm pretty sure I know 0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:56.360 who is responsible for this, just absolute drunken devastation. It's 0:17:56.400 --> 0:18:01.479 the Irish, clearly out people. I know them when I 0:18:01.480 --> 0:18:05.640 see them. I'm an Irish half Irish Catholic myself, and 0:18:06.359 --> 0:18:10.640 that obviously means Irish Catholic is coded for alcoholic. And 0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:14.679 what has happened is Ireland has gone so humorless and 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:17.880 woke to the point where they've got, you know, pro 0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:23.439 Palestine protesters entering Christmas Catholic masses and then being applauded. 0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:26.200 It's like, I think you're in the wrong place, guys. 0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:29.960 So that's obviously become so boring that all the fun 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:33.800 drunken Irish have come over here in even greater numbers. 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:37.679 And so you know, the Irish, the drunken Irish backpacker, 0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:42.320 who is basically the national emblem of Bondi has now 0:18:42.359 --> 0:18:46.080 descending on neighboring Bronze Beach. And they're not they're not, 0:18:46.160 --> 0:18:48.600 you know, they're's like, na, how. 0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:49.720 To clean up after themselves? 0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:51.760 They should learn how to. But this is the other 0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:53.920 thing that I reckon might hear. So there's this is 0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:57.680 alcohol ban at Bronte Beach, right, Something tells me it's 0:18:57.720 --> 0:19:02.000 not working. Something tells me what they know that they 0:19:02.040 --> 0:19:05.840 get these huge crowds of thousands of people here over 0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:08.359 the holiday period every summer. Would it not be a 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:11.879 better idea? Decadedly send, Okay, we know that you're going 0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:14.040 to come and get drunk on Christmas Day. They've got 0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:16.760 no families to go to because they're Irish. And they're 0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:19.200 fighting with all of them, and so they all come 0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:22.159 to the one location. You have a controlled environment, you 0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:24.800 have a regulated environment. You have heaps and heaps and 0:19:24.840 --> 0:19:27.040 heats and heats and heats and heats at heaps of 0:19:27.080 --> 0:19:29.720 recycling bins. They never seem to have enough of those. 0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:31.760 It never seem to be easy enough. And if they've 0:19:31.800 --> 0:19:33.520 put in all these extra bins and there's still that 0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:37.359 much rubbish there, clearly there's not enough. And again I 0:19:37.400 --> 0:19:39.840 do not believe that like some people are just pigs, 0:19:39.920 --> 0:19:42.280 right obviously, and I'm not just talking about the Irish, 0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:46.760 I'm also talking about New Zealanders. But they all of 0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:49.880 those bins I'm pretty sure would have been full and overflowing. 0:19:50.440 --> 0:19:52.960 So clearly people are trying to do the right thing, 0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:55.600 trying to get it in there, and it is just 0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:58.119 not having so even more bins. Acknowledge there's going to 0:19:58.119 --> 0:20:00.399 be an alcohol thing, have ranges going through, getting rid 0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:02.280 of all the paying. 0:20:02.119 --> 0:20:04.720 Triple time, be a ticketed event then so they know 0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:06.920 what they're signing up for that can all be included 0:20:06.920 --> 0:20:08.280 in the ticket, not not. 0:20:08.320 --> 0:20:11.879 For a price, maybe just simply for crowd control numbers. 0:20:11.880 --> 0:20:13.359 So I don't think I don't like the idea of 0:20:13.440 --> 0:20:16.040 charging people to go to the beach under any circumstances. 0:20:16.119 --> 0:20:17.240 That is a very you. 0:20:17.200 --> 0:20:20.080 Know, drink. Well, they'll just move to the drink they 0:20:20.080 --> 0:20:20.359 can bring. 0:20:20.600 --> 0:20:22.760 I'll bring their own birds. No, I'm not saying I'm 0:20:22.800 --> 0:20:25.239 not saying sell them birds. We're saying, right, this is 0:20:25.280 --> 0:20:25.880 the this is. 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:27.520 The this is the the way. 0:20:27.560 --> 0:20:28.080 The alcohol. 0:20:28.560 --> 0:20:31.000
