WEBVTT - Outsiders | 16 March 0:00:10.440 --> 0:00:12.680 This is outside. 0:00:14.360 --> 0:00:18.959 Good morning, and welcome to Outsiders, the show that is 0:00:19.000 --> 0:00:23.520 to combating woke identity politics and lefty lunacy on steroids 0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:25.120 wherever we find it. 0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:27.880 What a stroll across. 0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:31.200 The White House lawn is to an excitable four year 0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:31.960 old boy? 0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:36.080 Yes, this is the clip that stole the hearts of 0:00:36.120 --> 0:00:40.160 the Internet yesterday as Elon Mask's little boy X got 0:00:40.159 --> 0:00:41.360 to hang out with the. 0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:45.360 Forty seventh president. And doesn't he just look delighted? 0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:49.519 And indeed, guys, who can blame him for not waiting 0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:53.640 around for his dad when hey look at that he's 0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:56.720 got a real great, big helicopter to ride on. 0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:00.840 Just imagine in an alternative universe that could have been Joe. 0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:04.640 Biden staggering across the White House lawn sniffing his granddaughter's hair. 0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:12.360 And while you ponder that frightening thoughts, let's grab the 0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:21.440 latest outside his news. Well, Rita and James, Australian businesses 0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:28.039 have suffered the sharpest annual fall engross operating margins in 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:34.120 a quarter of a century. Great work, Charmers, great work, Albaniasi, 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:39.240 great work Bowen. You guys are a complete and absolute failure. 0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:45.600 Fifty one percent spike in gas prices. Seriously, Rita, the 0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:48.840 disasters just mount up from this bunch of clowns. 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:53.040 Well, this is talking about the fact that we've had 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:58.600 a per capita recession for consecutive quarters, and nobody seems 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:00.720 to be too concerned about that. We are in a 0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:04.000 recession in the way that it matters most. Yes, you 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:07.000 can bring in hundreds of thousands of people here every 0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:09.920 year and pop up the GDP figures and make it 0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:12.240 look like we've got all this economic activity and we've 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:16.760 got growth, But what matters is how it's impacting people's lives, 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:20.000 and those per capita figures revealed that we've had a 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:24.600 sharp fall in our living standards. And it's not just households, 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:29.239 as these figures show, Australian businesses have suffered the sharpest 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:32.880 fall in gross operating margins in twenty five years. 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:35.120 And you mentioned gas prices. That's got a lot to 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:35.639 do with it. 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:40.679 We are sitting on abundant gas reserves Victorian particular. I 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:45.040 wrote about this during the week, potentially sitting on hundreds 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:49.600 of years of gas reserves. But the Victorian constitution has 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:53.040 been changed thanks to the feckless lips down there who 0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:54.440 joined with Labor to do. 0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:55.720 That a few years back. 0:02:56.080 --> 0:03:00.360 So fracking is banned and no future state gouvern it's 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:03.560 going to be able to reverse that crazy policy without 0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:06.960 change of the constitution, which will be almost impossible to 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:09.320 do because Labor is never going to vote with the 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:10.080 limbs to do that. 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:14.000 And so this is all self inflicted. 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:20.160 This isn't due to COVID, it's not due to international issues. 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:24.480 This is policies that have been made in this country 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:26.520 that have disadvantage. 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:28.920 Each It all comes back to net zero. It all 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:31.440 comes back to read to mention the constitution. They're in 0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:35.480 Victoria changing but the constitution in Germany under the new 0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:38.960 conservative government they didn't get the AfD. They've got this 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:43.600 conservative woke mob who have changed the German constitution to 0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:45.840 put in net zero and climate change and all that. 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:48.240 And will be speaking to Ralph Sholhammer later in the 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:48.800 show about that. 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:50.880 You don't want to miss that. But James, let's go 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:52.200 back going on in Australia. 0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:54.200 There's a bigger problem though. 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:57.040 I mean, yes, you know you mentioned the living stamps 0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:59.960 have gone back by almost ten percent since the Abany 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:03.240 government took power. We know that our economy has got 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:05.560 all sorts of problems, even though the numbers are kind 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:07.240 of spun by the government say. 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:08.520 Hey, we're doing really, really well. 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:11.480 But you know you mentioned Rita a moment ago, the 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:15.800 feckless Libs in Victoria. Well, I'm starting to get a 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:20.600 little concerned here about the Libs federally as we head 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:24.160 into an election campaign which I presume is going to 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:27.280 be called next weekend, after the budget or the follow weekend. 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:30.560 But what I am concerned about here is that in 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:35.679 the absence of economic policies from the coalition to ease 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:38.679 the cost of living, and every single polster I speak 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:41.039 to they all say the same thing. Cost of living 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:43.560 and things related to cost of living and energy are 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:47.200 all the top one two, three plus plus plus issues 0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:51.200 for voters. The Liberals aren't answering that. Sure they've got nuclear, 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:52.040 but that hasn't. 0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:53.320 Come online for ten or twenty years. 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:56.480 They don't have anything about net zero, getting energy out 0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:58.200 of the ground, any of the sort of things that 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:01.200 will bring costs down in the here and now. 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:04.840 Look what they're concentrating on. So Peter Dutton is called 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:07.599 for Chris Bowen to be sacked. Well, you know, okay, 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:14.120 and Chriss He's always been the secret. I remember keep 0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:16.719 Pitt on this show years ago saying no. 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:18.760 No, keep Bowen in place, and there is the best 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:19.080 thing go. 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:21.160 But have listened to Peter Dutton calling for Bowen to 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:24.680 be sacked, and then will also play you Bowen's genius. 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:28.680 Response shows the need to keep on going more than 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:32.400 ever before, with the plan to introduce more of the cheapest, 0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:35.120 most reliable form of energy for Australians, and that of 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:36.839 course is renewable energy. 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:40.040 Yeah, so we'll show you Peter Dutton in the second. 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:44.880 But basically there's Bowen still flogging this horse going on on. 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:48.440 The horse is dead, Chris, it's not moving. Your renewables 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:51.320 ain't working. It's driving the cost of energy up. You're 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:53.600 never going to drive it down. And there they're saying, 0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:55.360 oh no, if you had call, it's going to be Marksman. 0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:58.680 That's a nonsense. How can anybody read to believe a 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:00.480 word that this mob say? 0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:04.480 Well, sadly many still do, because so much of our 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:11.640 media just regurgitates this absolute nonsense uncritically and just defies reality. 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:14.880 The fact that we are all living this experience. We 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:17.559 have seen it happen overseas. Now we're seeing it happen 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:22.960 here where you invest in enormously in renewables, the new 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:28.360 infrastructure prices skyrocket, reliability goes down, and you make it 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:31.560 so much harder for anybody who's in fossil fuels to 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:36.440 actually and then you complain about cold stations having it. Well, 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:39.919 what idiot would invest in that when the state and 0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:43.080 federal governments are just pumping up taxes saying this is 0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:48.400 an obsolete industry, And then they complain about oh, well. 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:54.040 You know, beyond that, beyond that, you know, like and 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:55.920 don't know, we're talking about tariffs the lead of the show, 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:59.000 but the thing is too you know, we're talking about 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:00.480 this sort of thing where we're going to go and 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:02.920 you know, do a deal with the Americans over critical 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:04.480 minerals and all the things we can get out of 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:07.279 the ground that the Americans want, except though the federal 0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:10.560 and state governments make it so hard to get anything 0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:12.320 out of the ground. So if you want to do 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:15.400 any of the sort of the mining or extraction that 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:17.480 you know they say is so critical that we can 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:19.640 use to leverage in a trade deal, a new trade 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:22.480 agreement with the United States, well, you know, tell you what, that's. 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:23.560 Not going to happen anytime soon. 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:25.880 But to come back to the big issue here, but 0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:28.760 our economy the other issue. And we've got a budget 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:31.440 coming up in a little over a week here, and 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:34.400 we are going to see in that budget a whole 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:38.800 new swag of handouts by the government. So what this 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:41.200 government is doing, let's be really clear about this. They 0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:44.080 have policies that make your life more expensive, and then 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:46.760 they have high taxes to take some of that money 0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:49.440 and give that back to you so that everybody feels like, oh, 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:52.600 thank you, we've gotten some relief. Now the opportunity here 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:54.880 for the Liberals to say, no, we're going to let 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:57.000 you keep more of your money, We're going to cut 0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:59.280 your taxes, we're going to cut your regulatory burden, and 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:02.440 we are going to stop this renewable nonsense. Because if 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:05.239 you think about the idea of spending hundreds of billions 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:08.920 of dollars for a transmission rid for twenty seven million people, well, 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:10.800 my god, our parent prais is going to go up 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:13.400 until we are all bankrupt if we keep doing that. 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:17.640 The opportunity here for the Coalition to really return to 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:21.560 that free market, tax cutting, pro growth, grow our way 0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:23.360 out of the debt dough text our way out of 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:26.400 the debt ideology, I think is huge for them. And 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:29.160 I'm really looking forward to Peter Dunn's budget reply speech 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:31.920 because that is going to be his opportunity and if 0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:33.080 he misses that it's going. 0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:35.040 To be they will miss it. They will miss it. 0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:37.720 James, I wish I could share your faith that they won't. 0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:43.360 But you're in this opportunity for the simple reason. The 0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:47.440 single biggest, dopiest thing that the Liberals have done is 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:50.240 to commit to staying in the Paris Agreement and committing 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:50.880 to net zero. 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:51.920 Because James is. 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:54.400 One hundred percent right read there is one hundred percent correct. 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:57.800 That is the thing that is destroying our economy. Being 0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:00.840 in net zero. Being in Paris about tariffs. 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:03.559 Every single aspect. 0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:06.600 Of your life, of your business life, everything your family does, 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:09.319 every holiday, every car you every time you get in 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:11.160 the car, every time you go to the shops. 0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:14.520 You are being hit with a net zero tariff. 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:18.520 It's a massive tariff on every single aspect of our lives. 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:20.800 Subsidies are just tariffs. 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:23.840 So the so don't faff around about worrying about a 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:27.560 couple of steel and aluminium tarfs. We have self imposed 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:31.400 on our own economy, massive net zero tariffs, which are 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:34.319 driving our economy into the ground. Unless the Liberals come 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:36.719 out and say we are pulling out of Paris, we're 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:39.120 following Donald Trump's example. We're going to do what the 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:43.920 entire industrialized world is doing. We're moving away from net 0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:46.200 zero and we're concentrating on cheap energy. 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:49.920 That is the only way forward. 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:54.400 Reta yes, and Peter Data needs to be bolder. He 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:58.720 needs to stop being meek. He needs to find that 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:02.160 voice mod show that he had where he was strong, 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:09.360 where he was articulating the Yet okay, but he's not 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:11.319 going to win an election on that. And the latest 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:14.120 News poll shows that the gap between him and Anthony 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:18.400 Albanesi has widened in Anthony Albanese's favor and I think 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:21.319 that is a reflection of the fact that people still 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:24.439 don't know precisely what his plan for this country is. 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:28.199 And you mentioned Netzira. I think one of the reasons 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:30.880 they are reluctant to pull out of Paris and say 0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:36.839 we're abandoning this destructive policy is because he is frightened 0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:42.000 of these Donald Trump comparisons. Instead of actually dismissing the 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:45.920 media dismissing the activist class and treating them with a 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:49.280 disdain they deserve. Like Donald Trump did and won in 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:52.480 a landslide. The liberals in this country, at state and 0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:57.240 federal level are spooked by any sort of media backlash, 0:10:57.280 --> 0:11:00.320 by any sort of activist backlash, and that's why they 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:03.240 will not come out. That's why they will match labor. 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:04.720 And I think that's what we're going to see. 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:05.400 Labor. 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:07.600 We're going to go on a spending spree on this 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:10.960 budget to try their buy their way back into power 0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:14.080 and to stay in power. And I think the Libs 0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:16.800 are going to match it because we're too frightened not to. 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:18.720 And that is not the handso for a country. 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:21.160 If that's the deeper James I wrote to my Spectator 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:25.160 Australia editorial this week that Dutton must embrace Trump. Stop 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:27.800 running away from Trump, stop being scared of Trump, Stop 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:29.520 saying things like all you we're going to keep Kevin 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:33.840 right in there. Embrace the Trump philosophy. Why can't the 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:37.640 Libs understand that the blueprint is there for success all 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:40.440 they have to do. Why isn't Why isn't Peter Dutton 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:44.160 on a plane to Washington, sitting there in the Oval 0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:47.320 office with Donald Trump saying right, we're going to form 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:49.280 a government that you're going to want to do business with. 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:51.360 Why has Dutton not done that? 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:54.000 James, Well, yeah, I mean there's so many things that 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:54.720 he could be doing. 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:55.520 And you're absolute right. 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:57.680 The Kevin Rudd thing, by the way, I think we 0:11:57.720 --> 0:12:00.240 need to talk a bit more about that, because you know, 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:05.400 having Kevin Rudd in that position. We said on this program, 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:07.800 we have all been saying it for months and months 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:10.160 and months since long before the election, that if Trump won, 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:13.400 you know, keeping Kevin Rudd there would be untenable and 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:16.040 that you know, there was no way that Rudd was 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:18.960 going to be able to get along with with with 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:20.760 with Donald Trump in the way. 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:21.679 With anybody. 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:27.000 I mean, yeah, I mean, you know, yeah exactly, you know, 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:30.160 uh and so so you know, that would have been 0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:32.920 such an uneasy win right there for the Albanesi government 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:35.760 too to do so, but they were too you know again, 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:38.240 they too were too terrified to do anything that that 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:40.559 would look like they were sort of you know, trying. 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:40.960 To do business here. 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:45.439 So I think also Albanese has been really very opportunistic 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:47.320 on this whole issue of tariffs. I think we need 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:49.400 to talk about that too, because you know, I think 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:52.760 the way that he has played up the division over 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:56.559 steel and alobinium tariffs here to create this sort of wedge, 0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:59.719 opportunistic wedge between Australia and the United States to try 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:02.520 and make kid look like a tough leader for once, 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:06.280 for once, you know, nearly three years of his government here. 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:08.839 You know, I think that also needs to be called 0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:10.560 out for the nonsense, savage and it is. 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:13.080 And you know what, these labor and green types should 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:14.240 be absolutely thrilled. 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:15.280 There's a tariff. 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:17.920 This is a carbon tax of types. This is exactly 0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:21.320 what they want. This is a suddenly their fossil fuel 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:23.760 enthusiasts and they want us to be reducing I mean, 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:26.440 give us a break. I mean talk about mixed messaging here, 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:29.839 and to pick a fire, to use this for some 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:34.360 cheap politics domestically to appeal to the rusted on base 0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:37.160 who you know, this is his returning to his student 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:39.240 politics days, Anthony alb and easy. 0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:40.400 I think this is actually weird. 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:44.720 Is happiest fighting Tories, fighting Trump get stuffed. 0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:47.000 This isn't good for the country. At the end of 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:47.440 the day. 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:50.800 As Prime Minister, his number one priority is doing what's 0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:54.240 best for Australian and Australians, and that means you have 0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:58.680 to have a good relationship with America and have a 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:02.120 appreciation of the reality of where we are in that relationship. 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:04.640 The fact that Donald Trump won't even pick up the 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:07.280 phone jath Andy Albernezer right now, let alone have a 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:10.640 meeting speaks volumes this relationship. 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:14.400 I say again, why this is Peter Dutton not on 0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:17.520 the phone to Donald Trump. There's plenty of opportunities that 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:19.600 Peter Dutton could be speaking to Trump. 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:21.720 They're forming that relationship. 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:24.840 Why we had Susan Lay on the show before us 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:28.560 say not refusing to commit. What what the Libs should 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:32.760 be doing is saying we guarantee, we guarantee we will 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:34.600 get rid of these tariffs on the strength I can't 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:36.800 guarante they of course they can. 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:38.120 Of course they can. 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:40.480 If they were any good, they would make more engage 0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:42.200 it also because they would be on the phone, they 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:43.720 would be there, they would be sorting it up. 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:44.440 Well, it should be. 0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:48.560 The tariffs are irrelevant to to those you know Australia, 0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:51.160 it's what three percent of their aluminium, It's irrelevant. 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:52.760 Well, the thing is too, is that what Peter Dutt 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:54.520 should be doing and I would hope and I just 0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:56.240 say that I hope. I don't know whether they're doing 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:58.560 it or not, but you would hope that the people 0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:02.480 in the dut In Tea are making and using connections 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:06.960 between Australia and the Trump administration to start forging those 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:10.800 relationships right now and to be sending those messages up 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:11.440 the line. 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:17.120 Absolutely, let's have a let's let's also talk about So 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:20.920 here's a classic example. So Kirs Starmer, you know, the 0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:26.240 hard left British Prime minister has actually adopted Donald. 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:27.320 Trump type policies. 0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:30.920 So they've scrapped the NHS England that's called it's called 0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:34.560 Project Chainsaw as the joking name they've given it. Starmer 0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:37.600 came away so impressed from meeting Donald Trump that he 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:40.280 went back to his cabinet in Britain and said, hey, 0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:42.840 let's let's let's actually get rid of some of the 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:45.720 bu roaucrats. Let's get little of the red tape that's 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:49.360 strangling Britain. Can you believe it reads a hard left 0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:52.720 like Kirs Starmer copying Donald Trump. And here in Australia, 0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:56.240 apparently the Libs are terrified to say yes, we want 0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:59.040 to do what Trump's doing, That's what we want to do. 0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:04.200 I think I think that's a reflection of the almost 0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:09.240 uniformly awful US coverage we have in this country, where 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:13.960 to this day, the Donald Trump coverage is so unhinged, 0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:17.080 so divorced from reality, ninety five percent of it, you know, 0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:20.240 other than you know, possibly this program James and I. 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:28.360 It is just uniformly awful, ill informed, hyperbolic, just wrong 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:31.640 on so many levels. And I think they look at 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:34.040 that and say, you know that the public doesn't like 0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:36.960 Donald Trump. It would be a disaster for Dutton and 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:38.720 Trump to be compared. 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:40.080 That's not going to work for him. 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:43.880 Instead of actually getting on the front foot and making 0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:45.440 the arguments, that's what you've. 0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:45.600 Got to do. 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:49.120 You've got to you can't expect the media to do 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:52.360 that for you if you're a conservative. As for Kirstar Mar, 0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:54.360 I've got a sa roh and he may be, you know, 0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:59.360 denouncing these sort of projects. I've got zero faith that 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:03.160 UK Labor is going to actually cut the bureaucracy, cut costs, 0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:06.919 even if they have those intentions, because they make our 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:09.840 lot look like they're you know. 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:12.639 But my point is that even a hard lefty like 0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:16.199 kill Starmer is not afraid to say, actually, what Trump 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:19.920 is doing in terms of reducing the cost of government 0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:22.440 and the red tape and the green tape is necessary 0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:23.000 to advance. 0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:27.800 There is the most calculating political animal. You simply we know. 0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:32.160 This is just like when you know he said, oh, well, 0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:34.919 we're going to make moves to cut migration, because of course, 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:38.160 you know, his approval ratings were absolutely in the toilet, 0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:40.680 and he knows that he's got to at least see 0:17:40.720 --> 0:17:42.480 these things of what's stay in power. He will say 0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:45.160 anything and do anything to stay in power. He didn't 0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:45.680 leave any of this. 0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:48.240 Well you say that, but they have cut they have 0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:49.200 made moves against. 0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:50.199 Alf on the ground. 0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:52.240 It was only like what a week two weeks ago 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:55.480 when he was pledging boots on the ground in Ukraine. 0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:57.160 And then literally in the. 0:17:57.119 --> 0:18:01.040 Next sentence he said, with us support she knew would 0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:04.639 never ever ever come under a Trumpet administration. But he 0:18:04.760 --> 0:18:07.600 got to say that line and get all the praise 0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:12.560 of the world's media as this great statesman, completely vacuous, 0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:14.240 completely intellectually bad. 0:18:14.359 --> 0:18:17.040 That's fine, But I want to hear Peter Dutton getting 0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:20.879 up there and embracing the Trump Revolution. 0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:23.200 Not running scared from it. That's all I'm saying. 0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:25.480 Guys, just don't run scared, full stop. 0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:29.040 This seems to be a feature of conservatives in this country, 0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:34.080 politicians who are from the center right. Where is the backbone, 0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:37.120 Where is the courage, Where is the conviction? We saw 0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:40.960 it during the Voice and they prevailed despite all the odds, 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:45.120 despite the fact that the yescamp had all the institutional support, 0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:49.800 had all the money, had every celebrity sporting club, every bank, 0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:52.200 every bloody mining company. 0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:54.399 Except for Hancock Prospecting and a couple of others. 0:18:55.680 --> 0:19:01.479 Despite all that, they still lost. And yet here we 0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:05.920 are where they've running scared again. They've forgotten what just happened. 0:19:06.240 --> 0:19:07.080 Part of the problem. 0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:10.080 Part of the problem courses, you know, in you know, 0:19:10.119 --> 0:19:13.680 the parliamentary part, the party rooms in both the state 0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:16.879 and federal level. You know, you've got these massive factions 0:19:16.920 --> 0:19:20.840 of wet set of moderates too, that drag the policy 0:19:20.920 --> 0:19:23.320 of the liberals to the left. So you know, the 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:25.960 base doesn't get a look in so often. You know, 0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:28.160 we see this in New South Wales, and leadership comes 0:19:28.160 --> 0:19:28.680 from the top. 0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:31.879 If the leader of the Liberality was there embracing Trump 0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:34.560 firmly rather than kind of seeing a bit gun shy 0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:37.119 on the topic. That would make a huge difference. But 0:19:37.200 --> 0:19:40.600 let's talk also, James, you've written about you know this, 0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:43.879 the native title thing that suddenly exploded. Where is Dutton 0:19:43.960 --> 0:19:46.879 on this? Dutton was so good on the voice, your 0:19:46.920 --> 0:19:50.080 senses so great, Senators, you sent an amagimate price. We 0:19:50.200 --> 0:19:53.400 now find out that compensation has been given pretty much 0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:58.359 according to this new court ruling to basically anybody who 0:19:58.359 --> 0:20:01.200 did anything at any point in a colonial history can 0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:02.720 can grab some compose. 0:20:04.480 --> 0:20:05.760 A couple of caveats on it. 0:20:05.600 --> 0:20:09.600 It applies at this point only to the Northern Territory 0:20:09.600 --> 0:20:13.520 and ACTI Commonwealth territories. But the precedent that this case 0:20:13.560 --> 0:20:16.680 here says, this is the unipingu case, and it has 0:20:16.760 --> 0:20:21.760 potentially huge financial implications because it means that now native 0:20:22.040 --> 0:20:28.119 title is a monetizable thing that you can get compensation for. 0:20:28.280 --> 0:20:29.679 So if you have a native. 0:20:29.480 --> 0:20:33.800 Title claim, then suddenly the government or whoever had it 0:20:33.840 --> 0:20:37.600 before can be on the hook for the. 0:20:37.680 --> 0:20:38.480 Value of that. 0:20:38.680 --> 0:20:43.080 We could be talking about billions and billions of dollars here. 0:20:43.119 --> 0:20:46.879 It's a very dangerous piece of judicial activism here, and 0:20:46.920 --> 0:20:49.719
