Gary Hardgrave will be here to discuss the 0:00:18.400 --> 0:00:22.799 day's top headlines. Premier Disenter Alan defends a major Kuala 0:00:22.920 --> 0:00:26.440 cull in Victoria. Liberal m P Barth MacArthur will join 0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:27.240 you shortly on. 0:00:27.240 --> 0:00:28.320 That and much more. 0:00:28.800 --> 0:00:31.520 Josh Hammer will have the latest from the US, and 0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:35.040 later in the hour, DD Levy will have more of 0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:40.160 the Australian twins that have become an international sensation and 0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:44.640 Lifti's Losing It Again features Rosie o'donald. 0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:48.520 I knew after reading Project twenty twenty five that if 0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:51.440 Trump got in it was time for me and my 0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:53.800 non binary child to leave the country. 0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:58.080 But first to worrying data today showing that less than 0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:02.480 one in four Australians phil a strong connection to ANZAC day. 0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:05.760 Even more worrying is the fact that only one in 0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:10.319 six members of Generations Z would sign up to defend. 0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:12.080 Australia if we were attacked. 0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:15.880 The News Court polling also revealed among all age groups, 0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:19.880 fifty seven percent say Australia should be spending more on defense, 0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:23.600 on the military, but only one in three would be 0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:26.520 willing to take part in the defense of the country. 0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:28.679 Joining me now for more on this the Sky Newe 0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:32.959 contributor Gary Hartgrave Gary, is it any wonder that only 0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:37.280 one in six young Australians gen z would fight to 0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:41.440 defend this country when they've been fed this toxic diet 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:47.000 of lies painting Australia as races, as illegitimate, as a 0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:50.960 country that's built on genocide and stolen land. 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:53.920 Yeah, exactly right, Rita. And we've just got to get 0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:57.080 that pride back in the business of Australia because frankly, 0:01:57.200 --> 0:01:59.640 if we aren't prepared to defend it, we have to 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:02.440 be prepared to lose it. I mean, the price of 0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:05.720 freedom is eternal vigilance. It's not just one liners that 0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:10.080 are thrown around this time of year every year. ANZAC 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:13.760 Day does stand for a generation of people. Are generations 0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:16.680 of people who've been prepared to stand in Australia's name 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:19.720 to defend a principle where we under thread on every 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:23.960 war that we've gone through, well, not directly Second World War, maybe, yes, 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:27.240 maybe the threat that was occurring in the sixties was 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:30.440 real as well. But in all seriousness, this was about 0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:33.200 the ideals, the principles of our country. And if we're 0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:36.959 not actually encouraging kids to embrace that, the freedom we've got, 0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:40.200 we're well on our way. We're well on our way 0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:42.600 to lose it. So this is frightening stuff, but it 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:45.200 is reaping what we have allowed to be sowed. Not 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:47.840 what I've sown, not what you've said, but what they've 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:50.160 allowed to So and so read it. My line is 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:53.960 still the same. We can save Australia one family out 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:56.440 of time. I'll look after mine, you look after yours. 0:02:56.520 --> 0:03:00.120 Let's build a community, Let's build a strength back into Australia. 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:03.080 Well said. 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:07.760 Let's turn our attention now to the Prime Minister's preferencing scandal. 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:10.959 Is often to put the Greens candidate Hannah Thomas as 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:13.920 number two on is how to vote card. This is 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:17.440 a character this Hannah Thomas, that has previously claimed that 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:21.720 Israel is guilty of genocide, has demanded the Prime Minister 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:26.079 blacklist the only Jewish state and expel its ambassador from Australia. 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:28.799 She held up signs like this, let's have a look 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:33.600 at pro Palestinian rallies. But if you ask the PM Gary, 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:36.880 he seems to think that preferences don't really matter. 0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:38.640 This is what he had to say last year. 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:42.360 I don't accept preferences, but we'll go into polling booths 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:49.880 and put numbers next to names, so the preference allocation, 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:53.240 of course, will be done by the organizational. 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:54.400 Win Gary. 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:58.880 If preferences are unimportant, then why not run an open 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:01.560 ticket in every seat, particularly his seat? 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:04.080 You know what, reader, I think the simplest thing is 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:06.200 to go to first past the post voting like they 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:08.240 do in the UK, like they do in the US, 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:09.880 so we don't even have to worry about all this 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:13.160 preference rubbish. But look, the Prime Minister is technically correct. 0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:17.120 People can make their own choices. The party organizations, you know, 0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:21.360 they offer, they offer recommendations. But look, in the end, 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:24.440 it's standard principle. I mean, you want to talk about principles. 0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:28.599 You've got a Prime Minister that stands for nothing, nothing 0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:33.200 at all. He is actually sitting idly by while people 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:36.800 are pulling Australia apart. People within our midst some of 0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:39.760 them who are egged on by international activists, who are 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:43.599 actually right now in Australia and whipping up crowds and 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:48.480 organizing people. I mean, this sort of stuff is just elementary. 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:52.279 We are fragile as a community because this blow is 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:55.880 so fragile in his attendance to the proper principles that 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:59.440 have always kept Australia safe. The guy's an idiot and 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.000 I hate saying that because he's the Prime Minister. I 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:06.280 should respect him. But no, he's lying and lying and 0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:10.159 lying constantly. And it's like Labor lies we pay. Is 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:12.840 kind of really what their slogan should have been this 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:13.760 particular election. 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:19.960 Well he is inept, but it looks like he's going 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:24.000 to be winning two elections at least for Labor. And 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:27.360 you really have to look at the Liberals campaign and 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:31.159 wonder what they're thinking here. We're talking about a first 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:34.599 term government and they have just seem to have run 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:37.840 a softly, softly approach to this campaign. If you want 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:41.400 Australians to throw out a first term government, you need 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:43.960 to go hard, you need to go negative. You need 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:47.520 to make it absolutely clear Gary what is going wrong 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:50.120 in this country and how you're going to fix it. 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:53.679 And I just don't think we're getting that yet from 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:57.480 the Dutton opposition and the polls have open for early voting. 0:05:57.640 --> 0:05:59.359 Time is running out. 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:02.200 It is, it's running out. Sands are going through the 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:04.920 hour glass. Look, RITA simple point is that not all 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:07.120 the votes are in, so therefore the results not certain. 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:09.680 But the indicators are not good. But most of the 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:11.720 people doing the complaining of those who actually want to 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:13.800 vote for Peter Dutton, but they want him to mount 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:15.919 a case. They want him to be strong. They actually 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:18.760 want him to provide something that's not just like that 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:21.960 bloke but blue. They actually want him to promote something 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:25.400 that's rigorous, that's in Australia's favor. Peter is starting to 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:27.760 do that. But you're right, time is running out and 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:31.360 time shall tell now. 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:35.080 Polling analysis in the Australian newspaper Today shows that the 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:38.880 Coalition has lost significant ground in a key voter group 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:41.960 since the start of the year. Among female voters, the 0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:46.279 Coalition was sitting at fifty one forty nine percent over 0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:50.359 Labor in January they were so much for having a 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:51.080 women's problem. 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:53.799 They were in the lead, but now they're trailing. 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:57.680 Labor in that key demographic forty six to fifty four percent. 0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:02.400 Gary is this largely due to their failure to really 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:06.479 explain their work from home scheme and how that was 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:10.360 going to be impacting the public service, and what other 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:13.320 issues do you see contributing to this turnaround? 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:17.160 You know, I just think this whole kind of tim 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:20.720 walls go soft, kind of don't be a blokey bloke, 0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:24.520 get rid of toxic masculinity stuff. That kind of stuff 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:27.480 that we saw in America six months ago, I think 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:30.080 is happening here. I think it's like, oh, you know, 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:32.640 we know what to upset women. Hang on, it's not 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:35.680 about upsetting women. This is about providing some strength that 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:38.920 women will gravitate towards. You've got a prime minister that 0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:41.280 walks around with a poodle in the middle of a 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:45.720 park and thinks that is campaigning on Good Friday. We 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:48.640 need to have some guts. People actually want to see guts. 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:51.280 And I think that you don't have to be belligerent, 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:54.040 you don't have to be brutal, you don't have to 0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:56.880 be toxic, but you've got to be strong. And I 0:07:56.920 --> 0:07:59.920 think a lot of women call this out faster than 0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:02.800 I think. We're in a less forgiving about blokes they 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:05.680 don't think are real, And I think that's the problem. 0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:09.480 Peter has got to show the real Peter Dutton and 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:13.400 sadly the campaign people running this campaign haven't allowed him 0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:15.520 to do that from what I can see. 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:18.240 No, they haven't allowed him to do that. 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:24.160 And what matters most, I think regardless if you're male, female, left, right, 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:28.360 wherever you are a swing voter, you want to see authenticity, 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:31.200 you want to see the real person. And I think 0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:35.040 that's what's been lacking at this election campaign. I think 0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:37.600 people have really got to know Peter Dutton. They've got 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:41.240 this character. Sure, the Labor and the Greens have pushed 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:45.000 and that seems to be the dominant point of view 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:48.600 of the man. Now let's have a look at how 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:50.880 that has been created. We're going to look at some 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:56.120 election campaign material that's on social media. We're going to 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:59.920 start with Monique Ryan's. Obviously this is uncomfortable taking question 0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:04.720 is from journalists like our own Laura Jays's, but she's 0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:12.080 more than happy to participate in whatever this is. 0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:19.160 Of course, I am trump strump, I am invincible, invincible, 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:24.000 I am I can thank you. 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:31.720 Authorized by a Misra Moulviyn that's from the Youthful Modern group. 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:33.800 And let's see what the Greens have been up to. 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:38.960 Here's they're candidate for Cooper. Tara Burnette, a transgender woman 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:41.480 and a public school teacher. 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:43.960 Got to say the highlight was a fella showing up 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:48.760 in a T shirt depicting the performer who brought out 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:52.800 the Palestinian and suitan Eese flags during Kendrick Lema's Super 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:55.839 Bowl performance taking a green flying. 0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:58.520 What can you say about that? And let's have a 0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:01.920 look at this ad from La. But the scare mongering 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:04.280 is reaching new highs. 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:16.960 With the rise by Stays, a String Labor Party. 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:18.079 Doglins Gary. 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:24.000 This characterization of Peter Dutton as some scary ogre who 0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:28.960 is just wanting to slash medicare and put women back 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:29.240 in the. 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:33.319 Kitchen, it is so obtuse, but it seems to. 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:36.760 Be working in the absence of a counter argument. The 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:38.640 counter argument's got to be are you better off than 0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:41.560 you're worth three years ago? If you're not, you can't 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:47.200 vote for elbow. Look, people are seeing a frustration amongst 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:49.559 those are must normally liberal voters. They want to They 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:52.280 want a king hit and knockout punts now, But we've 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:54.960 still got a few rounds to go. Look, there there's 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:58.679 no other way of putting this. The campaign that they 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:02.240 have run has been the luster that people wanted. All 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:03.920 they wanted was someone to say, you know what, we're 0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:06.880 gone this way, and they would have actually followed them. 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:09.240 They just would have followed them. And we just haven't 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:13.080 had the strength and the simplicity in that messaging. But 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:16.319 the reality is, it's labor tax you pay, is really 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:20.480 the counterpoint. They are going to increase taxes. They are 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:22.800 going to make it harder for people to survive the 0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:26.439 cost of living increases that are coming, including electricity prices 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:29.359 going up again, all off the back of keeping billionaires 0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:32.040 really happy. There are so many great messages. You know, 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:34.160 if I was back on the trenches, I'd be doing it. 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:36.679 But all I can say is that I would have 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:41.040 expected stronger, clearer, straightforward messages, a call to arms, you know, 0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:44.440 a call to action, and I've yet to see it. 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:46.839 No. 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:50.280 And even on the one policy area where there seems 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:53.079 to be a bit of differentiation between the two parties, 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:57.640 though the coalition's plan is more of a long term one, 0:11:58.040 --> 0:11:58.439 we're not. 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:00.880 Hearing much about than nuclear plan. 0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:04.920 In fact, you rarely hear them push that policy and 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:07.920 say this is a solution long term for the country. 0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:12.160 You don't hear them make those arguments about how renewables 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:15.560 have pushed up prices and made some very rich people 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:19.560 even richer. Where are those arguments, because that actually would 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:23.520 speak to the electorate. Energy prices are a top issue 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:25.040 and it impacts everybody. 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:26.920 Well, I think we're going to get two hundred and 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:28.760 seventy five dollars off our power bill, and I don't 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:30.600 know about you, and I get a power bill every quarter, 0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:33.199 so I was counting on getting something akin to eleven 0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:35.679 or twelve hundred dollars off my power over the course 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:37.720 of the year, it's gone up that. So we have 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:41.160 been lied to lied to. Nuclear is part of the 0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:44.400 mix in nineteen out of the twenty developed countries in 0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:47.280 the world, guess what, we're number twenty without nuclear. There's 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:50.200 a lot of reasons why nuclear should be considered. The 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:53.120 six hundred billion dollar cost is just a made up figure, 0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:56.559 and labor knows that they're all starting to away from that. 0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:59.960 But you know, in the end, it's hard to promote 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:05.520 revolutionary policies from opposition. I get it. But they brought 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:08.480 the argument up, and they could have had the conversation established. 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:10.320 The problem come up If you've got the solution, you've 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:13.680 got to establish the problem first. People don't like Albert. 0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:16.520 People are resenting the fact that they may vote for 0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:19.880 him ahead of Peter Dutton, and they'll be angrier at 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:22.400 the Liberal Party than they will be at the Labor Party. 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:25.360 You want to talk about lefties losing it, reader, right now, 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:28.440 the lefties and the Liberal Party are losing it right now, 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:30.720 and that I think is your segment for next week. 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:34.360 Lefties losing it is the liberal lefties losing it. 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:39.480 They are, They're causing so much damage. There's not many 0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:43.440 of them left, but that small group continuing to frustrate 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:48.360 efforts to actually appeal to those vital outer suburb outer 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:51.640 suburbs and regional areas. Gary Hardgrave, thank you so much 0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:54.880 for your time tonight. Thanks y joining me now as 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:59.640 Victorian Liberal MP BEV MacArthur BEV Premier Center. Alan has 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:04.240 pledged to crack down on crime. Victoria is now trialing 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:09.880 ankle bracelets monitoring teen offenders age between fourteen and eighteen. 0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:15.040 But this only applies right now to about fifty offenders. 0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:17.120 Is this going to have much of an impact on 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:17.920 the crime rate? 0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:18.200 BEV? 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:23.400 Well, who knows what's going to happen in Victoria. Rita, 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:26.160 We've got a situation where we understand there are fifty 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:33.880 seven alternative services being rolled out for the ankle braceleted offenders, 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:37.480 but the Minister didn't even know about it. He read 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:40.800 about it in the Herald Sunny admitted this. The department 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:45.000 were briefing principles before the Ministry even knew about it. 0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:49.160 So who knows whether it's going to be successful. What's happening, 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:54.600 You know, whether anybody's been trained to deliver these services, 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:57.360 and of course where they are we need to know 0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:01.320 the list of these fifty seven or ten venues. 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:07.720 Are the measures of the Victorian Labor Party taken to 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:11.560 address the crime crisis, particularly the youth crime crisis? 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:15.680 Are they adequate to really have an impact? 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:19.720 Because you talk to people across Victoria and the crime 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:22.520 rate seems to be a top issue. Even in a 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:27.160 cost of living crisis that we're facing, crime seems to 0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:29.960 be top of mind for so many Victorians. 0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:35.640 Well, it absolutely is, Rita, and I just had the 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:40.480 rather terrible situation of having a wife and mother in 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:44.360 my office only a few minutes ago whose husband was 0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:50.040 stabbed to death by a young offender and he will 0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:55.240 be out maybe in under four years, and she wonders 0:15:55.720 --> 0:16:00.000 is the justice system for perpetrators or is it for victims? 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:06.400 The crime is a major issue, and there's certainly an 0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:09.400 issue in my electric especially in the dural area. 0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:14.680 And people are losing faith in the justice system. You're 0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:19.600 seeing these manifestly inadequate sentences, You're seeing people getting bailed 0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:23.200 time and time again. It is definitely, I think an 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:26.560 issue that we need to talk about a lot more. 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:29.760 But moving on, the premiere is under. 0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:33.600 Fire for defending a mass koala carl that's happening in 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:36.240 a national park in the States west of the moments 0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:39.560 estimated that up to seven hundred and fifty koalas have 0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:44.720 been shot dead by helicopter snipers after a bushfire went 0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:49.239 through the area last month. Bab is this cul necessary? 0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:52.760 Isn't the humane thing to do? If these animals are injured, 0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:59.360 It's certainly something that is distressing many Victorians and Australians. 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:03.440 Absolutely reta and it seems to be the first go 0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:10.280 to plan to affect death of our native animals or 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:15.840 even animals. Is helicopters shooting shooting from helicopters. They've done 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:19.840 it with the wild horses in the high country, and 0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:23.560 now they've done it with koalas. There's no guarantee that 0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:26.960 you've actually killed the animal, no guarantee that they are 0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:33.119 not young left in partues. The government's argument is that 0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:35.600 this is very rough to rain and you couldn't do 0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:39.920 it on foot. Well, I might just pay a visit 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:43.479 to budge Bem and just check exactly what has happened 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:47.760 down there. But of course we don't want koalas or 0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:52.640 any animals suffering. Absolutely, and you know, if they need 0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:55.040 to be told, then it needs to be done in 0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:59.000 the most humane way. I would seriously question whether shooting 0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:03.560 animals from a helicopter is the best way to bring 0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:04.480 about this action. 0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:10.119 And if these animals have survived the bushfire, which was 0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:14.480 what a month ago, maybe we should leave them alone 0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:16.879 to let nature take its course. 0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:20.480 I mean, if the bushfire was a couple of days ago. 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:23.240 Then I could kind of understand putting these animals out 0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:26.720 of their misery. But they've survived this long, and I 0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:30.640 don't know how from a helicopter you are determining which 0:18:30.680 --> 0:18:34.320 ones are so injured that they need to be shot 0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:38.440 dead and which ones are quite okay. I just find 0:18:38.480 --> 0:18:43.520 the whole thing bizarre and distressing. Before you go the 0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:48.240 case involving the cyclist, the young teen at the time, 0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:53.680 Ryan Muhlman, who was injured in a twenty thirteen collision 0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:55.400 with Daniel Andrews SUV. 0:18:56.280 --> 0:18:58.639 That case is settled out of court. 0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:03.679 The former and the Victorian Police Force have avoided what 0:19:03.800 --> 0:19:07.320 was likely been a damaging case in the Supreme Court 0:19:07.359 --> 0:19:11.640 where everyone was giving evidence. That the legal firm there 0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:14.400 has settled their case. It's rumored to have cost them 0:19:14.520 --> 0:19:19.320 hundreds of thousands of dollars. But we have no clarity 0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:22.800 bev on precisely what happened. We know the Shuey Review, 0:19:22.920 --> 0:19:27.000 conducted by former Assistant Commissioner for Traffic and Operations, doctor 0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:27.840 Raymond Shuey. 0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:30.720 He found that the andrews. 0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:33.480 Ford Territory was traveling at speed on the wrong side 0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:36.400 of a road and that Victoria Police had engaged in 0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:41.160 and I quote an overt cover up to avoid implicating 0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:46.560 a political figure in a life threatening crash. Surely this 0:19:46.640 --> 0:19:49.840 cannot be the end of this matter. Don't we need 0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:52.960 to know why the police behaved like this? Don't we 0:19:53.000 --> 0:19:56.040 need to have some sort of transparency and clarity around 0:19:56.040 --> 0:19:57.560 this issue. 0:19:58.040 --> 0:20:00.640 Well, absolutely, I think we do, and I you have 0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:05.320 to feel terribly for you know, the victim who at 0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:09.680 fifteen this happened to you and was constantly referred to as 0:20:09.680 --> 0:20:13.800 a liar, and you know clearly has proven not to 0:20:13.800 --> 0:20:19.320 be a liar. We do need to know exactly what happened, 0:20:19.359 --> 0:20:23.560 and you know, I don't understand why de Andrews family 0:20:23.560 --> 0:20:27.800 wouldn't come forward with the truth, to be quite honest. 0:20:29.160 --> 0:20:32.119 And I want to know what role the police played 0:20:32.440 --> 0:20:36.680 and why they played that role. There are so many inconsistencies, 0:20:36.720 --> 0:20:40.840 so many breaches of normal police practice in this case, 0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:44.920 and I think that's really what's undermined the public's faith 0:20:45.000 --> 0:20:47.080 in what's what occurred in this case. 0:20:47.119 --> 0:20:49.400 Ben MacArthur, thank you so much for your time tonight. 0:20:50.119 --> 0:20:50.800 Thanks Reta. 0:20:51.160 --> 0:20:54.200 Still to Kama, Left is A Losing It plus. 0:20:53.960 --> 0:20:58.920 The latest from the US, including Larry David's bizarre attacks 0:20:59.000 --> 0:21:11.280 on the Fild much Osh Hammer as the details. You're 0:21:11.320 --> 0:21:14.400 watching the Riada Panney Show and it's time for Lefti's 0:21:14.640 --> 0:21:15.360 Losing It. 0:21:15.760 --> 0:21:18.360 Rosie O'Donnell. We're going to talk about Rosie again. 0:21:18.480 --> 0:21:22.639 She continues to make a fool of herself in TV interviews. 0:21:22.680 --> 0:21:26.520 It appears since fleeing America due to an incurable case 0:21:26.520 --> 0:21:30.040 of TDS, her full time job is doing these daft 0:21:30.280 --> 0:21:32.320 interviews where she says stuff. 0:21:32.000 --> 0:21:35.679 Like this, I knew after reading Project twenty twenty five 0:21:35.880 --> 0:21:38.800 that if Trump got in it was time for me 0:21:39.040 --> 0:21:42.119 and my non binary child to leave the country. And 0:21:42.640 --> 0:21:45.000 although I was not one of the celebrities who announced 0:21:45.040 --> 0:21:47.639 that that's what I would do, I would made the 0:21:47.680 --> 0:21:52.240 decision within my family and my therapist, and should he win, 0:21:52.320 --> 0:21:55.080 and then when he did, we made the plan into 0:21:55.119 --> 0:21:57.560 action and we were gone before he was inaugurated. 0:21:58.080 --> 0:22:01.359 Yes, she fled with her non binary child to a 0:22:01.400 --> 0:22:05.360 country that is more socially conservative than much of America, 0:22:05.440 --> 0:22:07.800 certainly more than the blue city she fled. 0:22:07.920 --> 0:22:10.119 Rosie is not that bright, it seems. 0:22:10.119 --> 0:22:13.320 Perhaps she missed the fact that Island's abortion laws are 0:22:13.760 --> 0:22:16.919 pretty strict, only freely available in the first trimester, or 0:22:16.960 --> 0:22:20.840 the fact that fewer than one in five seventeen percent 0:22:20.920 --> 0:22:24.879 in fact, of Irish folk agree with laws allowing a 0:22:24.920 --> 0:22:28.720 person to change their birth certificate when they self identify 0:22:28.720 --> 0:22:32.080 as the opposite sex. But Rosie doesn't care about those 0:22:32.119 --> 0:22:35.320 sorts of facts. She's obsessed with Project twenty five. 0:22:35.960 --> 0:22:38.360 It's been heartbreaking. I have to tell you, I knew 0:22:38.440 --> 0:22:41.199 that if I was in the United States and watched 0:22:41.280 --> 0:22:47.000 them destroy the country and the Constitution and really pay 0:22:47.160 --> 0:22:49.960 no mind to any of the laws that the founders 0:22:50.000 --> 0:22:53.240 stood by and that our country stands for as a 0:22:53.240 --> 0:22:56.120 beacon of shining laden freedom for the rest of the world, 0:22:56.480 --> 0:22:59.359 that should he do what the Heritage Foundation said he 0:22:59.440 --> 0:23:03.040 was going to do in that Project twenty five. 0:23:02.880 --> 0:23:04.439 That we were going to be in big trouble. 0:23:04.520 --> 0:23:07.399 And it's as bad as they promised, and even a 0:23:07.400 --> 0:23:11.040 little bit worse. And it's been heartbreaking and personally very 0:23:11.119 --> 0:23:12.159 very sad to watch. 0:23:12.760 --> 0:23:15.840 I'll tell you not everyone is happy with Rosie moving 0:23:15.880 --> 0:23:16.639 to Ireland. 0:23:16.720 --> 0:23:19.919 Let's hear from this local woman. Rosie o'donald has just 0:23:20.000 --> 0:23:21.960 moved to Ireland. How do you feel about her coming 0:23:21.960 --> 0:23:22.560 to Ireland. 0:23:23.200 --> 0:23:26.639 I'm pretty disgusted, to be honest, I'm failure aware of 0:23:26.680 --> 0:23:29.840 the housing situation here and for someone to come to 0:23:29.960 --> 0:23:33.280
