Speaker 1: From the Skying Center. This is Paul Murray life. It
Speaker 1: may not surprise you, but from time to time I
Speaker 1: have played cirkum machines. Oh no, terrible right, many of
Speaker 1: them are involved in RSL clubs. But is it time
Speaker 1: for the RSL club to be no longer called the
Speaker 1: RSL Club? We'll explain why in a moment or two.
Speaker 1: Is time. Nigel Farras joins us tonight. Cannot wait for it,
Speaker 1: and lots of more detail from what you've already heard
Speaker 1: about what Trump has had to say about what happened
Speaker 1: to him yesterday.
Speaker 2: I would have loved to have thank that last, but
Speaker 2: but we decided let's get out of here.
Speaker 1: As you know, housing in this country is a very
Speaker 1: significant issue. There is not enough places for people to buy,
Speaker 1: there is not enough places for people to rent, and
Speaker 1: of course we have a system where we just bring
Speaker 1: on in hundreds of thousands of more people each and
Speaker 1: every year. The federal government thinks the way to solve
Speaker 1: all of this is, of course to throw more money
Speaker 1: at the problem, but specifically not really homes that you
Speaker 1: and I would be able to get access to. Of course,
Speaker 1: it's generally speaking about social housing. Housing Commission homes and
Speaker 1: the Prime Minister is not getting his way because the
Speaker 1: Greens are saying no, everyone else in the Parliament is
Speaker 1: saying no. So today Albow threw the ultimate toy out
Speaker 1: of the cot that any Australian Prime minister has the
Speaker 1: opportunity to do, and that is to threaten that if
Speaker 1: they don't get what they want out of the Senate
Speaker 1: and it is rejected twice, then we would be off
Speaker 1: to a double disillusion election. Try not to laugh.
Speaker 3: You could go to a D day, though I probably
Speaker 3: won't go to a D day because it wouldn't be
Speaker 3: a great result for you, would it.
Speaker 4: Well, well, wait and see.
Speaker 1: Now. Of course, the bad result that to Andrew was
Speaker 1: referring to there was that in a double disolution election,
Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter what happens downstairs, because it's still
Speaker 1: all of the normal seats. You need seventy six to
Speaker 1: become the government. But in a double disillusion what you
Speaker 1: do is, rather than have harm of the Senate up
Speaker 1: for grabs with the other half sitting around for another
Speaker 1: three years, you wipe everyone and you go back to
Speaker 1: the start. Every spot in the Senate would become available.
Speaker 1: But as that other strategic political genius the ghost Malcolm
Speaker 1: Turnbull worked out if you have a double dissolution and
Speaker 1: all of the Senate is up for grabs, then the
Speaker 1: bar to actually get people elected to the Senate is halved.
Speaker 1: Literally half as many votes as you would need to
Speaker 1: get in on a half Senate or normal election would
Speaker 1: be the case in a double dissolution. Now that would mean,
Speaker 1: given the current polls, there would be more Greens in
Speaker 1: the Upper House. It would potentially mean that there would
Speaker 1: be more Libs in the Upper House. Of course, the
Speaker 1: cross Bench two would most likely explode, just like it
Speaker 1: did again when that guy playing four D chess did
Speaker 1: it in twenty sixteen. And if you halved the quota
Speaker 1: for people to get into the Senate, there'd be more
Speaker 1: people from one nation, more people from the Lambing network,
Speaker 1: probably more people from United Australia Party, and definitely another
Speaker 1: teal that would end up getting up, most likely in
Speaker 1: places like the Act. But there's other people who would
Speaker 1: be added to the cross beach. Now the Prime Minister thinks,
Speaker 1: look more of the people who generally vote with me.
Speaker 1: Who cares? The problem is it could go in any
Speaker 1: different direction. Legalized cannabis most likely would get pretty close
Speaker 1: to winning a Senate seat. Their vote is very close,
Speaker 1: and they have representatives in the Victorian, New South Wales
Speaker 1: and Western Australian parliaments. What about the libertarian movement? Libertarian
Speaker 1: movement formerly of the Liberal Democrats, has had people elected
Speaker 1: to the parliament before. They do okay in Victoria, they're
Speaker 1: doing particularly well in New South Wales. Could they end
Speaker 1: up going in And of course, when you have a
Speaker 1: look at the overall trajectory of the polls, the Prime
Speaker 1: Minister can threaten all he wants, call is bluff because
Speaker 1: if there was an election, he would get his backside
Speaker 1: handed to him. He would lose majority, he would go
Speaker 1: into minority. As we showed you last week or last night,
Speaker 1: I should say, there's some analysis that both parties could
Speaker 1: end up in the minority position. Don't forget you want
Speaker 1: to talk about the poll's Prime Minister before you put
Speaker 1: out your piss week threats. Fifty seven percent of people
Speaker 1: have told the Red Bridge polling organization they cannot name
Speaker 1: one thing, not one thing that you have done since
Speaker 1: you became Prime minister to make people's life better. There is,
Speaker 1: of course the polling that exists, as you've already just
Speaker 1: seen from the resolve people. That show fifty three percent
Speaker 1: of people say the current prime minister's performance in most
Speaker 1: recent weeks is poor or very poor. So good luck, Pale,
Speaker 1: make whatever threat you want, pour whatever sugar you need
Speaker 1: into the press. Galleries year that everything is just the
Speaker 1: same as it was before the twenty twenty two election,
Speaker 1: because just as it wasn't the same as the twenty
Speaker 1: nineteen election, trying to turn the twenty and twenty five
Speaker 1: election into the twenty sixteen election will have exactly the
Speaker 1: same result. A first term government will get a whole
Speaker 1: collection of seats smashed out off their record. But unlike
Speaker 1: the Ghost who had a backbench thanks to the win
Speaker 1: of Tony Abott in two and thirteen, you don't have
Speaker 1: any backbench to burn. You have a majority government of
Speaker 1: just two seats. It is inevitable that every first term
Speaker 1: government loses seats. We saw it in twenty ten with
Speaker 1: Gillard and Rudd. We saw it in two thousand, sorry,
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety eight when it came to John Howard.
Speaker 1: We saw it in two thousand and sixteen when it
Speaker 1: was the Ghost. So good luck, you make your threats.
Speaker 1: The Greens think they're in a sweet spot when it
Speaker 1: comes to housing, particularly in and around Southeast Queensland, because
Speaker 1: their focus is utterly on renters. The Opposition think that
Speaker 1: they're in a sweet spot because they believe that people
Speaker 1: should be able to access things like their superannuation to
Speaker 1: be able to get something resembling a deposit, to be
Speaker 1: able to buy a house. And while there is tens
Speaker 1: of thousands of people who are waiting on public housing
Speaker 1: waiting lists, I'm not sure too many of them don't
Speaker 1: already vote for your Prime minister. And then there's of
Speaker 1: course two very different groups who would barely agree ever,
Speaker 1: who think the Prime Minister is the problem, who think
Speaker 1: that his government is the problem. And while he parties
Speaker 1: around thinking that he's the celebrity Prime Minister, the reality
Speaker 1: is that this is a guy who doesn't impress anyone.
Speaker 1: As you've heard tonight Chief Executives via the Business Council
Speaker 1: of Australia, they're having a dinner right now. The Prime
Speaker 1: mint is coppying it between the eyes from the business community.
Speaker 1: He also copped it between the eyes today for the
Speaker 1: man who led the ACTU when the Labor Party truly
Speaker 1: reformed the economy back in the nineteen eighties and nineteen nineties.
Speaker 1: Let's go back to what the bosses have had to say.
Speaker 1: Chief executives of the nation's biggest companies are warning that
Speaker 1: Australia is losing our way and taking steps backwards. The
Speaker 1: person who represents the Business Council, who represents companies like BHP,
Speaker 1: the Banks, Accounting, First West, Farmers, Hancock, Prospecting, Telstra, Atlasian
Speaker 1: and Quantas, say the country is losing its way. Instead
Speaker 1: of taking big steps on the things the matter, we're
Speaker 1: taking incremental but noticeable steps backwards. Of course, the Prime
Speaker 1: Minister already had a response to these evil business leaders.
Speaker 3: Is it really the time to be hitting businesses with
Speaker 3: your wave of ir reforms, increasing red tape and requirements
Speaker 3: on business.
Speaker 4: Let's be very clear those reforms have passed and under
Speaker 4: those reforms. This Thursday, two days time, the clock's ticking
Speaker 4: on whether we will reach one million new jobs being
Speaker 4: created since we're elected to government. So what we're seeing
Speaker 4: is more jobs being created. We are seeing higher wages,
Speaker 4: We're seeing continued growth, We're seeing a continued rise in
Speaker 4: business investment. We're seeing all of those factors.
Speaker 1: Of Course, as I've shown you many times before. When
Speaker 1: it comes to the economic growth, this country is more
Speaker 1: like the car that's out of tune, that's idling at
Speaker 1: the traffic lights and just slightly creeping forward. But then
Speaker 1: there's Bill Kelty, former boss of the Australian and the
Speaker 1: Act you the Trade Union. He says that we need
Speaker 1: a labor party in which big issues are confronted, describing
Speaker 1: the other an easy government instead as mired and mediocrity.
Speaker 1: The government needs a greater dose of imagination. The Labor
Speaker 1: Party seems to have lost its way, so the bosses
Speaker 1: the unions are saying the same thing. The Prime Minister
Speaker 1: just thinks you're stupid and are too busy to notice.
Speaker 4: Well, I don't accept the premise because every indication is
Speaker 4: certainly not that. I'm very confident that when Australians focus
Speaker 4: on what the next term is about, a government that's
Speaker 4: making a difference to the economy, a government that what's
Speaker 4: an economy to work for people, not the other way around.
Speaker 1: Brother. Of course, the reality, this is what I've spoken
Speaker 1: about for years now, is that the economy that they
Speaker 1: talk about is the economy that the government's able to
Speaker 1: give itself a gold star for the one that talks about, say,
Speaker 1: budget surpluses, not budget deficits. The economy in terms of
Speaker 1: you and I is that we're in recession for six
Speaker 1: quarters in a row, the best part of eighteen months.
Speaker 1: We've all gone backwards. The only reason that we are
Speaker 1: sputtering in terms of growth is because of the number
Speaker 1: of public servants that have been hired, the pay rises
Speaker 1: to the public servants, the amount of infrastructure spending that
Speaker 1: state governments are borrowing billions of dollars to build, which
Speaker 1: in part also is pushing up inflation, an inflation rate that,
Speaker 1: by the way, in Australia is doing worse than places
Speaker 1: like the United Kingdom, the United States or Canada. And
Speaker 1: when the Prime Minister talks about growth again, stats baby,
Speaker 1: we've got them here. We've got the data, not just
Speaker 1: the opinion, not just the Catherine Wheel of showbiz. We've
Speaker 1: got the data to prove it. Powe. This is Australia
Speaker 1: in anemic growth. Remember as soon as there's a minus, as
Speaker 1: soon as you go under zero percent for two quarters
Speaker 1: in a row, then you're in a recession. We are
Speaker 1: barely barely growing. Yet the Prime Minister says, well, look
Speaker 1: at us one point five percent growth. We are doing
Speaker 1: better than insert country. Insert country, Well what about the
Speaker 1: United States? The United States were inflation at one point
Speaker 1: hit the best part of nine percent. It's the number
Speaker 1: one issue in the upcoming federal election and if anything,
Speaker 1: would be the sole reason why there may be a
Speaker 1: change of president. Look what their growth is compared to
Speaker 1: out growth right now. The Prime Minister likes to tell
Speaker 1: himself a whole collection of stories that he has a
Speaker 1: special connection with the Australian politics that Peter Dutton could
Speaker 1: never possibly replicate. That if he tells you that he's
Speaker 1: helped you out with two little too late tax cuts,
Speaker 1: you're too stupid to notice that despite the fact that
Speaker 1: he promised to cut your energy bill by two hundred
Speaker 1: and seventy five dollars. Instead there's a twenty five dollar credit,
Speaker 1: maybe for the next twelve months to get you through
Speaker 1: an election. But of course that twenty five dollar credit
Speaker 1: comes after your bills are already gone up by the best
Speaker 1: part of one thousand dollars. The Prime Minister and the
Speaker 1: people around need to understand that. In the same way,
Speaker 1: when you point to the stock market as an example
Speaker 1: of how amazing the economy is going, the reality of
Speaker 1: every day people's lives is all that matters. Because while
Speaker 1: the big companies may matter, and the big unions may matter,
Speaker 1: and the big media mates may matter, there's about seventeen
Speaker 1: million Australians who once every couple of years get the
Speaker 1: chance to say whether they want to rehire or fire
Speaker 1: a government. And the polls right now suggest that minority
Speaker 1: government is a virtual inevitability. You see Anthony Abernez, he
Speaker 1: may well think and the people around him that if
Speaker 1: they just show lots of black and white images of
Speaker 1: Peter Dutton and say cut, cut, cut, and pretend that
Speaker 1: he wants to put a nuclear reactor in everyone's backyard.
Speaker 1: The reality is that when this government was hired, it
Speaker 1: was under a promise of doing better. Instead everything got worse.
Speaker 1: There was one interest rate rise under the previous government.
Speaker 1: There have been twelve under this one. So you tell
Speaker 1: yourself your stories. The reporters will write them down, shove
Speaker 1: them through the air like you want them to. But
Speaker 1: the reality of the people sitting on the other end,
Speaker 1: they go, I'm sorry. Remember almost sixty percent of Australians
Speaker 1: cannot say one thing that this government has done to
Speaker 1: make their lives any better. Good luck with that proposition
Speaker 1: at an election. Prime Minister. Meantime, I've got another bit
Speaker 1: of news for you in and around cost of living. Now,
Speaker 1: some deep data thinkers have been having a look at
Speaker 1: whether people have been spending their two little too late
Speaker 1: tax cuts, and the assumption is no, they haven't been,
Speaker 1: which is good because it means it's not been pushed
Speaker 1: towards inflation. However, one of the reasons why people are
Speaker 1: holding on to what very little of the too little,
Speaker 1: too late that they had is because they are expecting
Speaker 1: mega tax bills to be coming their way. Those maybele
Speaker 1: of all he started coming. We learned today by the
Speaker 1: Cidny Morning Herald that the Australian Tax Office is getting
Speaker 1: ready as we are all doing our returns, to come
Speaker 1: after business and individuals. They claim there's about one hundred
Speaker 1: billion dollars in the Australian economy an unpaid tax. So
Speaker 1: of course they will pretend they're going to shake down
Speaker 1: the companies. The reality is they will shake down the
Speaker 1: small business, the sole trader, anyone with an ABN, anyone
Speaker 1: who decides to claim as legally they can, the amount
Speaker 1: that they use their car to go toward from work
Speaker 1: put simply you. Meantime, we also learned today about several
Speaker 1: issues when it comes to housing. Again, nothing to see here.
Speaker 1: Housing is not a problem, it's all a problem. In
Speaker 1: the Senate might have a double dissolution about it. No,
Speaker 1: the QE for renters. The queue for people to buy
Speaker 1: houses gets longer because of this government's repeated obsession with
Speaker 1: bringing hundreds of thousands of people into the country. We
Speaker 1: learned today that figgers that were released to The Australian
Speaker 1: by the Liberal senator Dean Smith show there was evidence
Speaker 1: of mortgage stress, particularly in places like Tasmania, with a
Speaker 1: seventy two percent increase in the number of mortgage holders
Speaker 1: that were falling into arrears. On over the economy's amazing
Speaker 1: prime minister sixty four percent increase in South Australia, sixty
Speaker 1: two percent jump in Queensland, forty four percent rise in
Speaker 1: Western Australia. And then there's of course the people who
Speaker 1: are trying to build their dream home, because you see,
Speaker 1: the property market isn't just about people who want to
Speaker 1: buy their one bedroom unit, but maybe the people who
Speaker 1: want to buy the place for their family. They want
Speaker 1: it design just the way they like, so they say
Speaker 1: about their cash and they hire a builder. Now many
Speaker 1: builders have gone bus because the price they quoted you
Speaker 1: a year ago or two years ago, they can't deliver
Speaker 1: because guess what, the cost of building a house has
Speaker 1: gone up by forty percent and not bay up in
Speaker 1: the past twelve months. I'm saying before the pandemic, forty
Speaker 1: percent higher than it was a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: In fact, Australians are spending as much as fifty seven
Speaker 1: percent more to build a brand new house than before
Speaker 1: the pandemic. Most expensive places Victoria, what a surprise, least
Speaker 1: expensive Queensland. But don't think it's all rosy for people
Speaker 1: in Queensland, because we learn this week as well about
Speaker 1: people in Queensland, specifically Brisbane who actually live up the
Speaker 1: hill a little bit that they are still being slugged
Speaker 1: with huge increases in insurance premiums, which, as we've shown
Speaker 1: you many times over many months, over a couple of
Speaker 1: years now, is a massive factor in the inflation number
Speaker 1: that remember, is higher than other parts of the world.
Speaker 1: Some Brisbane people trying to ensure their home have seen
Speaker 1: a jump of up to ten times because of new
Speaker 1: council maps, and it means that just because someone lives
Speaker 1: in the same local government area as you, but they
Speaker 1: live at bottom of the hill, but you live halfway
Speaker 1: up or on the top, then all of you will
Speaker 1: pay the same. Oh, but the economy is amazing, and
Speaker 1: if we have a double disillusion election, Labor will do
Speaker 1: so well. Such a tactical genius who can annoy both
Speaker 1: the business community and the union community. See nothing now.
Speaker 1: We earlier this year had the Queensland local government elections,
Speaker 1: and all the weekend just gone we had the new
Speaker 1: South Wales local council elections. Much of the headlines out
Speaker 1: of that were people talking about the Sidney Lord Mayor
Speaker 1: and Clover Moore winning an eight hundredth year in power.
Speaker 1: Does she buy herself a new choker every time? Who
Speaker 1: knows quite the collection. But some people are now starting
Speaker 1: to dig into the other results that came out of
Speaker 1: the new local government elections, including that apparently the Labor
Speaker 1: Party was starting to get itself into a little bit
Speaker 1: of trouble, particularly in Western Sydney. But you know, the
Speaker 1: economy is amazing. Wouldn't everyone vote Labor at the next election.
Speaker 1: The political strategist to at one point in time work
Speaker 1: for the Labor Party who now does the red Bridge Pole,
Speaker 1: because Samaras said the party was struggling in this traditional
Speaker 1: heartland at western Sydney and the RBNZ government should be
Speaker 1: concerned about the next federally concerned he's trying to call
Speaker 1: on a double dissolution. Good luck meantime, With the Liberal
Speaker 1: Party unavailable due to their own stupidity and factional nonsense
Speaker 1: not being on the cards, there was a center right
Speaker 1: party that did particularly well, the Libertarian Party formerly the
Speaker 1: Liberal Democrats Party. They deserve a shout out that they
Speaker 1: should have got yesterday. I'm sorry I give it to
Speaker 1: them today because I was distracted by events in the
Speaker 1: United States. They won fifteen council seats and that's huge
Speaker 1: because put simply, they have one seat in the New
Speaker 1: so of Wales Parliament, but they they have one seat
Speaker 1: in the Victorian Parliament. They have clearly support and libertarianism
Speaker 1: I think is probably a little bit more popular once
Speaker 1: people actually know what it is. But the brand of
Speaker 1: the Libertarian Party did particularly well, and it did well
Speaker 1: in lots of different places, including in and around the
Speaker 1: outer fringes of Sydney in an area called Camden. Today
Speaker 1: as part of the celebration. They were out and about
Speaker 1: saying that literally every single development application that will be
Speaker 1: lodged by that candidate by that council will be approved
Speaker 1: by a libertarian because they believe in getting on with it.
Speaker 1: But the reason I talk about all of this now
Speaker 1: is there is a huge blind spot for the center
Speaker 1: right and right of Australian politics. Too often it is
Speaker 1: arrogant about the role local government plays now. In many ways,
Speaker 1: I have said to lots of people who've run lots
Speaker 1: of minor parties over the years, why don't you run
Speaker 1: candidates at local government? Just say roads rates rubbish and
Speaker 1: will keep Australia. Unsurprisingly, most people who don't know anything
Speaker 1: about whom they're voting for would probably vote for that
Speaker 1: because at least they know what they're getting. But there's
Speaker 1: a second reason why political parties should put effort into
Speaker 1: the people whom they a local council, not just to
Speaker 1: be counselors, but potentially mayors, because guess what happens when
Speaker 1: a local community gets to know and like a mayor,
Speaker 1: they can run for state parliament and they often end
Speaker 1: up winning seats in state parliament. The same could be
Speaker 1: said in federal Parliament. Christy McBain I think, is a
Speaker 1: rising star of the Labor Party, so former mayor, and
Speaker 1: she of course has won the seat of eden Minera,
Speaker 1: which apparently was remember the Bellweather seat, but it didn't matter.
Speaker 1: It's now locked in as virtually a safe seat. She
Speaker 1: was one of the mayors in and around that part
Speaker 1: of the south coast of New South Wales, in and
Speaker 1: around the fires. My point is this, everyone focuses on
Speaker 1: winning a Senate seat, because understandably that's a big game,
Speaker 1: but why not run more people with very clear traditional
Speaker 1: values at local council level. Maybe they can stop the
Speaker 1: local councils getting outside their lane. Maybe they can become
Speaker 1: the mayor, maybe they can be seen as somebody who's
Speaker 1: upholding a whole series of traditions. And then that base
Speaker 1: you get to work off to become a state MP
Speaker 1: and eventually a federal MP. Too many center right parties
Speaker 1: start at the Senate and yes it's always hard to
Speaker 1: find people, but even if you can't find candidates, why
Speaker 1: not do surveys of the candidates that are running and
Speaker 1: say this is the one that's most like us, this
Speaker 1: is the one who's promised to do the things that
Speaker 1: we've asked them to do. So world under the Libertarian Party,
Speaker 1: not just on their results, but on having the courage
Speaker 1: to actually go and start at the bottom of the
Speaker 1: political pyramid, because it does eventually bear fruit. It eventually
Speaker 1: produces federal members of Parliament. It means communities get to
Speaker 1: know you over years and years, and then the personal
Speaker 1: vote can often overcome whatever garbage is being thrown into
Speaker 1: a local area from a local or national media who
Speaker 1: frankly don't know what they're talking about. So well done
Speaker 1: again the Libertarian Party and everyone involved in it. The
Speaker 1: more you read about Libertarianism, the more sense it makes
Speaker 1: to me, at least Jeff Kennet when he has plenty
Speaker 1: to say, and he is an iconic figure of Australian politics.
Speaker 1: Of course, he hasn't been an elected office for a
Speaker 1: long time, but I love when he just remains part
Speaker 1: of the debate and fearless. He wrote a great piece
Speaker 1: today in the Herald Sign which was about why the
Speaker 1: Greens must go last. Now by extension, I would suggest
Speaker 1: that your preferences absolutely matter. They matter at every election
Speaker 1: and if you're somebody who goes well put them all last.
Speaker 1: Guess what you get end up with the Labour Party.
Speaker 1: But if you end up putting the party that you
Speaker 1: would like to be the government number two, then guess
Speaker 1: what you'll probably end up with them. We saw the
Speaker 1: difference between twenty twenty two put them all last in
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, when preference discipline meant the revolution was delayed
Speaker 1: by three years. Jeff writes today about the Greens and
Speaker 1: the moral case for why they must go last. The
Speaker 1: last thing I want to see is a Minori government
Speaker 1: where the Greens hold the balance of influence. Their behavior
Speaker 1: recently has been divisive, confrontational and simply un Australian. Many
Speaker 1: worry about the extreme right, but we should be equally
Speaker 1: worried about the extremism of the Greens. My assessment of
Speaker 1: their policies announced today is that they are simply unaffordable
Speaker 1: and would guarantee inflation and interest rates remain high, a
Speaker 1: huge cost to all Australians, particularly are young. The Greens
Speaker 1: are simply not economically responsible, he continues a few pars later,
Speaker 1: But it's up to the Australians to reject their extremism.
Speaker 1: To that end, they represent a very real threat to
Speaker 1: the country's cohesion. I've given the opportunity to hold the
Speaker 1: balance of influence in a federal parliament, Australia is in
Speaker 1: for a very rough time where quite possibly little will
Speaker 1: be done or worse. Excellent point. Now let's talk in
Speaker 1: it around Donald Trump and of course the second attempt
Speaker 1: on his life in just a few weeks. But amazing
Speaker 1: to watch this news story again, just fold high hide.
Speaker 1: It's referred to as an apparent or alleged attempted assassination. Now,
Speaker 1: by the way, don't you love this now? Of course,
Speaker 1: the person who has been arrested, thankfully is behind bars.
Speaker 1: We will eventually hear what was really going on. You
Speaker 1: notice the media, of course, doesn't talk much about the
Speaker 1: fact that when his truck was parked out in the
Speaker 1: front of the house. Google Earth goes past and guess what, oh,
Speaker 1: Biden Harristicker. Of course, if it was the other way
Speaker 1: around and it was a Trump supporter, we'd still be
Speaker 1: talking about it as the lead story, right, I don't know,
Speaker 1: but nothing to see there now. Interestingly, now, local cops
Speaker 1: this is their sort of big moment in the sun,
Speaker 1: and sometimes they say things that they probably shouldn't, not
Speaker 1: because they're telling lies, but because clearly you can see
Speaker 1: that the more established people around them, from the state
Speaker 1: or the federal law enforcement, they don't like what they're saying.
Speaker 1: Don't say that bit like when that guy yesterday told
Speaker 1: us that if the president was the sitting president, there
Speaker 1: would have been more security around him, but because the
Speaker 1: former president, he doesn't get as much. So cue this
Speaker 1: bloke and again you didn't see this on your six
Speaker 1: pm news.
Speaker 5: How's a guy from not here get all the way
Speaker 5: to Mark to Trump International realize that the president for
Speaker 5: our president of the United States is golfing and he
Speaker 5: is able to get a rifle in that vicinity. I
Speaker 5: think that's the question THATBI Secret Service or laser focused
Speaker 5: on today. Is this gay part of a conspiracy? Is
Speaker 5: he a long gun.
Speaker 1: Sh Move on, move on, move on, Jady Van's cats,
Speaker 1: Jady Vans catz. That's literally what they're doing in America
Speaker 1: because the media is so bad over there that they
Speaker 1: think to even investigate this story. Somehow legitimizes that Trump
Speaker 1: may have died and if that happens, well, then people
Speaker 1: might have sympathy for him, or they might want to
Speaker 1: rally around him for fight fight fight, So I don't
Speaker 1: talk about it. Doesn't exist, doesn't exist. For their part,
Speaker 1: some of the people who were playing golf with Trump
Speaker 1: yesterday have given interviews, including a property developer who was
Speaker 1: playing golf at the time with Donald Trump on the
Speaker 1: course where the shooter had been waiting for twelve hours.
Speaker 1: The whole just up around the corner. He spoke to
Speaker 1: Hannity today.
Speaker 6: It was terrible, but I got to see I got
Speaker 6: to see a man who was stoic, courageous, cared about
Speaker 6: his friend's safety and lot first before his own life.
Speaker 6: He was an inspiration to everybody who was around him yesterday.
Speaker 1: He of course, had plenty more to say, particularly around
Speaker 1: the Secret Service, who didn't just shoot in the direction
Speaker 1: of the person after seeing the barrel, but also getting
Speaker 1: the president off the course. Apparently there's some sort of
Speaker 1: high speed golf card that they have.
Speaker 6: You knew immediately it was gun fire. It didn't sound
Speaker 6: like firecrackers. The Secret Service were exceptional. They had the
Speaker 6: President secured in my estimation, because I was five yards
Speaker 6: away from him in my estimation, maybe after the first shot,
Speaker 6: certainly after the second shot, so by the time the
Speaker 6: fourth shot rang out, the President was on his way.
Speaker 6: With that detail, it was as if they had practiced
Speaker 6: it five hundred times before.
Speaker 1: Now for Donald Trump himself, he has not spoken in
Speaker 1: front of a camera yet. Instead, he did a Twitter
Speaker 1: x's session, where it's basically a live podcast. This was
Speaker 1: with somebody in the crypto space, because apparently this week
Speaker 1: the plan was to announce some sort of Trump crypto coin.
Speaker 1: We'll get to that later, but this is what he
Speaker 1: had to say about the experience. In fact, this is
Speaker 1: how he describes the moment the shots were fired towards
Speaker 1: the gunman who was planning to kill him.
Speaker 2: Very peaceful, very beautiful, whether everything was beautiful, It was
Speaker 2: a nice place to be, and all of a sudden
Speaker 2: we heard shots being fired in the air and I
Speaker 2: guess probably four or five and it sounded like bullets.
Speaker 1: But what do I know about that? But Secret Service
Speaker 1: knew immediately it was bullets.
Speaker 2: I was with an agent, and the agent did a
Speaker 2: fantastic There was no question that we were off that course.
Speaker 1: Again, you've got to have a certain ego and certain
Speaker 1: stones to want to run for any elected office, a
Speaker 1: little one the presidency of the United States. He lit
Speaker 1: alone everything that has changed in the past few years
Speaker 1: for Donald Trump, but just there used to say no
Speaker 1: drummer or Bama. You know, we know how theatrical at times,
Speaker 1: Trump can be. Just level telling this story, he again
Speaker 1: continues to do so.
Speaker 2: And he ran across the street and grabbed his car,
Speaker 2: opped into his truck or car, and amazingly a civilian
Speaker 2: in that area, so it's something and it looked very suspicious,
Speaker 2: and in the car, drove their car to the back
Speaker 2: of his truck of some kind and took pictures of
Speaker 2: the license plate, gave them to the sheriff's offers.
Speaker 1: And finally, my favorite bit, the second attempt on his
Speaker 1: life after the first fight fight fight, and you know
Speaker 1: how much I love that. Thank you for your reaction
Speaker 1: to last night's show. This is his reaction to this
Speaker 1: second person trying to kill him this year.
Speaker 2: I would have loved to have sank that last part,
Speaker 2: but we decided, well, let's get out of here.
Speaker 1: But even after the shooting, we all know Trump's the problem. Rhyme.
Speaker 7: If Donald Trump wants people wants Kamala Harris and others
Speaker 7: to say to stop saying that he is a threat
Speaker 7: to democracy, then he should stop threatening democracy. Perhaps he
Speaker 7: shouldn't be overturning trying to overturn elections, overthrow the government,
Speaker 7: and inciting insurrections.
Speaker 8: The former president's own words seem to be increasing the
Speaker 8: threat of political violence in Springfield, Ohio.
Speaker 1: The calls to tone down are good, but they need
Speaker 1: to come from inside the house. Well, these people are
Speaker 1: nuts ante nothing possibly bagged could happen him, because if
Speaker 1: we admit that, then then he ends up getting sympathy,
Speaker 1: and if you get sympathy, he gets votes. Please not
Speaker 1: your feraches on the show. I'm looking forward to that,
Speaker 1: Megan Kelly on tomorrow Nights shut now forty nine Dice
Speaker 1: to Go. I want to again show you some data
Speaker 1: here which was just about where the race is now.
Speaker 1: A grade polls. These are the ones that basically have
Speaker 1: been pretty close to accurate in the past, and I
Speaker 1: think was banged on in twenty twenty a pole that
Speaker 1: came out a couple of days ago. It shows Trump
Speaker 1: leading fifty one to forty eight. But then I can
Speaker 1: show you another a grade poll that shows Harris winning
Speaker 1: forty nine to forty five. So okay, let's have a
Speaker 1: look at the overall averages of poles. Now they are
Speaker 1: getting better for Harris as more poles coming after the debate,
Speaker 1: she leads by one point seven percent nationally. Now, the
Speaker 1: reason why many of the prediction things say that Trump's
Speaker 1: going to win is because unless she's winning currently by
Speaker 1: two or more, then that's considered to be yes, a
Speaker 1: big winning California, a big win in New York, but
Speaker 1: the swing states would end up turning against her. But
Speaker 1: here's the bit that's really worth having a look at. Here,
Speaker 1: Harris is actually running behind where Biden was four years ago.
Speaker 1: Four years ago, Biden was five point eight percent up
Speaker 1: over Trump in the national polls. Harris is less than
Speaker 1: two at one point seven. So we still don't have
Speaker 1: no idea what's about to happen in this election. But
Speaker 1: Harris on the overall picture not doing as well as
Speaker 1: her media boosters would say. But again, most of the
Speaker 1: poles that have rolled in since the debate are starting
Speaker 1: to go her way. We'll all find out what happens.
Speaker 1: We'll be in America. But love this country even when
Speaker 1: we're over there. So let's talk about this country. Let's
Speaker 1: debate in this country. We'll get into it. Into it
Speaker 1: next with Joe Hildebrand, Holly Hughes. We want to see
Speaker 1: kill on Paul Murray live Niger for us before we
Speaker 1: don't thank you very much for what giga. Let us
Speaker 1: get into this now. In other than Joe hoilder Brand.
Speaker 1: You can read, you can write to him, you can
Speaker 1: see him, you can listen to him, lots of different ways.
Speaker 1: The wand of a Holly hughes, of course, and he
Speaker 1: said while Senator joining us from camber, because she's still
Speaker 1: sitting even though the downstairs people aren't. So the Prime
Speaker 1: Minister is a double disillusion because he may not get
Speaker 1: what he wants when it comes to the housing funds.
Speaker 1: But of course that's because the economy going amazing. No
Speaker 1: one's got a problem with him. Literally tonight the former acy,
Speaker 1: a hero of the union movement, and the CEOs are
Speaker 1: telling him there's a problem. It's more expensive than even
Speaker 1: before the pandemic to build a house, let alone all
Speaker 1: of the other issues that mean that currently fifty three
Speaker 1: percent of people think the premise is doing a poor
Speaker 1: or very poor job, and fifty seven percent of people
Speaker 1: can't name a single thing that's made their life better.
Speaker 1: But no, no, bring on a double d.
Speaker 9: It's just ludicrous because if you actually sit down and
Speaker 9: do the math of what's required for a double dissolution,
Speaker 9: and that's the second defeate of a bill after three
Speaker 9: months and then six months before the next elections due,
Speaker 9: he would actually have to recall Parliament in order to
Speaker 9: put a bill he would know would fail in order
Speaker 9: to generate the trigger for a double dissolution. It is
Speaker 9: just insanity on steroids. It is an absolute rabble in
Speaker 9: the Senate this week. They've turned up for a Senate
Speaker 9: only sitting week, put up their build to own or
Speaker 9: helping build, whatever it's called. It's just the most pathetic
Speaker 9: bill that no one in the Chamber is supporting, like
Speaker 9: no one except labor, and they.
Speaker 10: Are behaving like petulant children.
Speaker 9: It's now two days into a four day sitting week
Speaker 9: and we haven't even got to a committee stage of
Speaker 9: this bill. It's just going nowhere and nowhere incredibly fast.
Speaker 9: And you know this is a government unraveling day by day.
Speaker 1: Joe again, the Prime Minister, or no doubt the people
Speaker 1: around him, may go, oh wos you sort of talked
Speaker 1: into it by the press conference and all the rest
Speaker 1: of it year, but there seems to be Look, there
Speaker 1: is an obvious imparty here where the Greens wanted to
Speaker 1: fail because they want to go on the written to question,
Speaker 1: particularly in Southeast queensline that lives wanted to fail because
Speaker 1: they disagree with that the year size, the cost of
Speaker 1: the policy lit alone, anything else. So I mean, does
Speaker 1: he actually think that anyone said around a barbecue is
Speaker 1: going to be convinced by his plot as a reason
Speaker 1: for us to go to have it a lynch?
Speaker 11: Oh, he's not going to go to a double day,
Speaker 11: and there's no way he would. There's no reason he
Speaker 11: would tactically or logistically. Holly's quite right, it would be
Speaker 11: all but impossible. He wants to go to an election.
Speaker 11: I am sure, and I'm not repeating anything he's told me,
Speaker 11: but I have no doubt I've said this all along.
Speaker 11: It is clear as the nose on your face that
Speaker 11: the best chance of Labor getting re elected with the
Speaker 11: majority is giving the Reserve Bank as much time as
Speaker 11: possible to start cutting interest rates so that people think
Speaker 11: that the future is going to get better, they forget
Speaker 11: the lean years of the past, and Albaneze can say
Speaker 11: the end of all this, see I did it, I've
Speaker 11: gone full term. I haven't done it. People don't like
Speaker 11: early elections in Australia. Generally, they almost always backfire. Bob
Speaker 11: Hawk in nine eighty four was a pretty good example
Speaker 11: and exactly right. So he goes full term, he says,
Speaker 11: I've always said I was going to go full term.
Speaker 11: I've done that. The RBA is almost certainly going to
Speaker 11: cut interest rates touch wood in the first half next year.
Speaker 11: So he goes in April May and away you go.
Speaker 11: I think he's simply keeping everyone on their tires. And
Speaker 11: I think he's been doing this quite effectively all year.
Speaker 11: You've had people making all sorts of predictions. We're meant
Speaker 11: to be in the middle of an election campaign now,
Speaker 11: it's not already having gone to the polls according to
Speaker 11: some predictions, and so he's got everyone sort of up
Speaker 11: in a ladder whilst he's still just quietly plotting a
Speaker 11: long game.
Speaker 1: That's very kind of you. Let's talk here about what's
Speaker 1: happening with victory you're doing. He's doing his best world
Speaker 1: I'd get that before. I've been there before. Don't worry now.
Speaker 1: Of course, one of the keys, apparently the Liverboo part
Speaker 1: of getting even close now again, I think the analysis
Speaker 1: that has been discussed from the former Labor senator from
Speaker 1: Queensland is a little too favorable to the coalition, but
Speaker 1: it's the one that suggests that there could be a
Speaker 1: minority government either direction. For that to happen, something pretty
Speaker 1: significant has to happen in Victoria. Now, the expectations were
Speaker 1: that a very significant number of seats that Pete Dutton
Speaker 1: would require would come from there. The analysis and beliefs
Speaker 1: seemed to be Andrew's effect doesn't really matter anymore. But
Speaker 1: whether there's a crossover, we'll all wait and see. Now,
Speaker 1: I get it, Holly, you are not from Victoria, but
Speaker 1: you know plenty of people from there inside the political world.
Speaker 1: Why would there be a sense of hope amongst Victorian
Speaker 1: liberals that federal seats that they've lost are about to
Speaker 1: come back their way when we know what the advertising
Speaker 1: is going to be, black and white pictures of Peter Dutton,
Speaker 1: the cop from Queensland or uga booger vote labor.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I read that article today too.
Speaker 9: I mean, I guess the first thing they'd be hoping
Speaker 9: is that their organizational wing and their state parliamentary team
Speaker 9: keep their mouths shut, stop recording each other stuff up
Speaker 9: Light New South Wales Division did of the Liberal party.
Speaker 9: I mean, they are just the king of own goals,
Speaker 9: and Victoria hasn't exactly been a shining light of great
Speaker 9: liberal groundbreaking efforts. So I think they'd be hope that
Speaker 9: this whole pursuito deeming issue goes away pretty quickly and
Speaker 9: that the state team shuts up get some good candidates.
Speaker 9: I know, people like Tim Wilson have been working really
Speaker 9: hard for a long time. There's also a number of
Speaker 9: Tials down there who not only are they not delivering,
Speaker 9: but they're consistently voting with the Greens and Labor at
Speaker 9: every opportunity. So the reality is, and everyone's predicting this,
Speaker 9: that we're going to go to some form of minority government.
Speaker 9: That is almost the worst outcome for the country, I
Speaker 9: think any of us can imagine. I think the only
Speaker 9: thing worse than just a blanket minority government is minority
Speaker 9: government with this Labor government in partnership with the Greens.
Speaker 9: And you can see and again lining himself up. Now, well,
Speaker 9: the Teals will be trying to get out of it
Speaker 9: what they can, but the Tials have proven that they
Speaker 9: are just a vacuous waste of space. They achieve nothing.
Speaker 9: They're one issue, climate change, I mean, this is how
Speaker 9: politically savvy these people are. They literally came in pretty
Speaker 9: much week one or two of this government and got
Speaker 9: their climate change you know, emissions target in legislation and
Speaker 9: lost their only issue. It was literally their only issue,
Speaker 9: and they gave it away within the first couple of
Speaker 9: weeks of the parliament.
Speaker 10: And don't forget though, they are just nothing.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well they're also now pretending that it's about twenty
Speaker 1: thirty five targets and there's this seventy five percent, which
Speaker 1: of course.
Speaker 9: Is climate change is not anywhere only about climate change is.
Speaker 10: Not anywhere where.
Speaker 9: It was because people can't afford the rent, they can't
Speaker 9: afford the mortgage, they can't afford the groceries, they can't
Speaker 9: afford their power bills, and the power bills in particularly
Speaker 9: are being reinforced by this ridiculous race to renewables that
Speaker 9: this government, along with the teals and the grains, is
Speaker 9: consistently chasing.
Speaker 1: Singing Sister Joe, you wrote about council and how local
Speaker 1: councils it's all now not roads rates, rubbish, little bit
Speaker 1: of g hard and a lot of other weirdness that
Speaker 1: goes into Yeah, but I wanted to come at it
Speaker 1: from a different angle. How do you think council lost
Speaker 1: its way? Because the processes is exactly the same way.
Speaker 1: People put their hand up, and normally the overly earnest
Speaker 1: put their hand up, they get in the room. But
Speaker 1: what was it about out the way our politics works
Speaker 1: now that a council, that a counselor would feel that
Speaker 1: there's greater political benefit to them and mouthing off about
Speaker 1: something they have no responsibility for.
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's an interesting one. There were sort of two
Speaker 11: tiers to that campaign. So you had a couple of
Speaker 11: councilors in the southwest of Sydney who are very vocal
Speaker 11: about it and Canoby Banks down And I was speaking
Speaker 11: to someone about that from the area just earlier today
Speaker 11: and he noted that the people who took a really
Speaker 11: strident line on Palestine instead of worrying about Rhodes rates
Speaker 11: and rubbish or went backwards, and they went backwards to
Speaker 11: the advantage not of Labor sadly or the Greens, which
Speaker 11: is not said at all, but to the center right.
Speaker 11: So they're basically giving giving votes away to the right.
Speaker 11: So people were voting against that and voting for people
Speaker 11: who were solely focused.
Speaker 1: On roads, get back to base.
Speaker 11: Votes, raids and rubbish, and again to what's happening to
Speaker 11: the Teals. Potentially at the next federal election. We saw
Speaker 11: a massive swing against the Greens in places like Wullara
Speaker 11: and Waveland, the East and sub of Sydney, which have
Speaker 11: high Jewish populations but also sort of high kind of
Speaker 11: you know, genteel populations who often have the luxury to
Speaker 11: be able to wax lyrical about things like climate change,
Speaker 11: but don't like all the class warfare talk and certainly
Speaker 11: rankle at this idea that you know, this should be
Speaker 11: a referendum on a so called genocide on the other
Speaker 11: side of the world.
Speaker 1: And so so.
Speaker 11: Again, I think the Greens firstly, and then the Teals,
Speaker 11: who are very much Greens adjacent, will suffer as a
Speaker 11: result of that. And you can see the Teals running
Speaker 11: away from the Palestinian issue.
Speaker 1: At a rate of nots.
Speaker 11: They're so high and mighty about absolutely everything else.
Speaker 1: They wait for one the start.
Speaker 11: That's why absolutely they did. You know, that's right, But
Speaker 11: you know, the one sort of cause djure. You know,
Speaker 11: there's not a fashionable cause. They haven't hitched their wagon too,
Speaker 11: but this one they're just trying to say oh no.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no no, And but also they
Speaker 1: will play out. But also you know, to my point,
Speaker 1: I'll do ours solves tomorrow so we can proper chat
Speaker 1: about it. But Holly, to my point at the start
Speaker 1: of the show though, which is, you know, the Libertarian
Speaker 1: Party was able to jump into a vacuum of the
Speaker 1: Liberal Party created. But if you want to produce a
Speaker 1: future state or federal members of Parliament, run them at council,
Speaker 1: build a community profile. So guess what, it helps them
Speaker 1: win elections. That's why council matters funny in the political
Speaker 1: sense of things. And I think anyone who doesn't want
Speaker 1: to play at that level, you're doing yourself a disservice
Speaker 1: because if you want to start at the Senate every
Speaker 1: single time, guess what everyone else is running and all
Speaker 1: the media is paying attention to the to almost anyone,
Speaker 1: but you.
Speaker 9: Look, and I think where this one council election in
Speaker 9: particular is important. We are you know, we're here in
Speaker 9: the Senate this week around a housing bill. We know
Speaker 9: in New South Wales Chris Mins has been looking at
Speaker 9: a whole raft of different type of supply issues around
Speaker 9: housing in sort of that inner City and inner Sydney
Speaker 9: Metropolitan area, and how they get more housing into different suburbs,
Speaker 9: particularly near public transport lines. And this is where councils
Speaker 9: have a really big role to play. And instead of
Speaker 9: having people that will be able to have sensible discussions,
Speaker 9: maybe have a look at a different suggestions.
Speaker 10: And what the planning is going to look like.
Speaker 9: You're going to have some of these complete and utter
Speaker 9: loans in there who have no clue whatsoever. And it's
Speaker 9: interesting that in a lot of council areas where Liberals
Speaker 9: did run, they did really well.
Speaker 10: They did really well.
Speaker 1: Which only compounds I'm going to jump. Thanks you guys,
Speaker 1: do appreciated, Senator, future senator. Thank you very much. We'll
Speaker 1: see you all very soon. Narjo far standing by in
Speaker 1: the UK, will talk to him about a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of things, including his own television career, which authorities are
Speaker 1: trying to shut down. Yeah, seriously, more honesty. I love
Speaker 1: when we talked to Nigel Farage, of course, the Reform
Speaker 1: Party MP leader and host on gb News, and our
Speaker 1: friend in the old Dartney joins us. Now, great man,
Speaker 1: can you believe the second time, the second time this year,
Speaker 1: we're talking about somebody almost killing Donald Trump the second
Speaker 1: time around, the media seeming to or not really wanted to, like,
Speaker 1: unless it literally is shots hitting his body, then it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. It doesn't matter because that could produce sympathy,
Speaker 1: and sympathy equals votes. What do you think of what's happened? Yeah, horrible?
Speaker 8: Ally, why it's really horrible because Mara l Argo and
Speaker 8: the golf course just down the road, they are his
Speaker 8: real safe spaces. That is where he is surrounded by friends,
Speaker 8: by family. That is where he's able to be himself
Speaker 8: and to pursue his absolute fanatical love affair with the
Speaker 8: game of golf, which is undiminished in every way. And
Speaker 8: if he can't even be in his own backyard without
Speaker 8: somebody coming after him with a gun, then that is
Speaker 8: a truly awful situation for him to be in. You know,
Speaker 8: during my last general election, I was attacked. I had
Speaker 8: a milkshake thrown in my face, I had a bag
Speaker 8: of sment thrown at me, and you know it made
Speaker 8: me thoughtful, let alone someone firing a gun at you.
Speaker 8: So I did ring him yesterday. I did ring him
Speaker 8: last night just to see how he was. And hey,
Speaker 8: you know he was putting a brave face on it.
Speaker 8: He was saying a secret service did a great job.
Speaker 8: But underneath he's got to be waking up this morning
Speaker 8: saying to himself, just how many times can.
Speaker 1: I be lucky?
Speaker 8: So something BIG's got to happen. And let's at least
Speaker 8: for once praise Joe Biden, who did ring yesterday as well,
Speaker 8: and the Speaker. The Speaker Mike Johnson is now going
Speaker 8: to change the security arrangements for both Donald Trump and
Speaker 8: Kamala Harris so that they have the same level of
Speaker 8: protection that a setting president has not before time.
Speaker 1: Some will say, well, yeah, my view is that the
Speaker 1: second you are formally nominated. I know that that's when
Speaker 1: the briefings begin and you know, a couple of extra
Speaker 1: things start to go. In the current era and in
Speaker 1: all future eras, it should go straight up to that
Speaker 1: presidential level, because these are one of the only two
Speaker 1: plausible next presidents of the United States. Also, I've got
Speaker 1: to say, and you know, I got quite fine up
Speaker 1: about it last night, that I was legitimately inspired by
Speaker 1: the fight fight fight stuff in that moment the first
Speaker 1: time around. I'm again you cannot but remark with admiration
Speaker 1: that Oh look, I just wish I could finish the whole.
Speaker 1: I mean, in a culture of victim wood, when something
Speaker 1: terrible happens to someone, they go and hide in a corner,
Speaker 1: or they talk about it for the rest of their lives.
Speaker 8: He barrels on. Well more than that, there's been in
Speaker 8: the last fifteen minutes. I've just seen a statement from
Speaker 8: the man he was playing golf with, and the guy said,
Speaker 8: when shots rang out and they were told to get out,
Speaker 8: he said, Trump showed more concern for me than he
Speaker 8: did for himself, he said, and he showed me just
Speaker 8: what a tremendously courageous man and leader he is. So Yeah,
Speaker 8: once again, in a very tight situation where many would
Speaker 8: have run away screaming, he shows himself to be the
Speaker 8: man that to be the man, to be honest Paul
Speaker 8: that I've always believed that he is. I've always believed
Speaker 8: that this guy had some very very special qualities.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you now, before we're done your show,
Speaker 1: GiB News. You are the biggest star on the Disruptor
Speaker 1: channel and they hate it. They hated all right, and
Speaker 1: by day of course, I mean everyone outside of the building.
Speaker 1: But again, there's more force is trying to push you
Speaker 1: off the ear, not just the channel.
Speaker 8: Yeah, we've got a new committee's being formed in the
Speaker 8: House of Commons, fourteen members, nine of them Labor. The
Speaker 8: leader of the House of Commons unusually is sharing this committee.
Speaker 8: They're worried about MP's second jobs. Well, what they're really
Speaker 8: worried about, if you read the report, is MPs who
Speaker 8: broadcast on television and radio because it could present a
Speaker 8: conflict of interests, and so what you can see is
Speaker 8: they will get together with the regulator and tranforce me
Speaker 8: off air. This is aimed at me, fair and square
Speaker 8: at me. I would argue that with the GM and
Speaker 8: News show and with over five million social media followers,
Speaker 8: what I do is amplify the debates that are taking
Speaker 8: place within the House of Commons. I would argue what
Speaker 8: I'm doing actually is an extension of the democratic process.
Speaker 8: So clearly they're coming after me, but do you know what,
Speaker 8: over the years, a lot of people have come after
Speaker 8: me and lost.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say, I wouldn't back the I
Speaker 1: wouldn't back the horse that's going up against you. In mate.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much for your time. Good on you
Speaker 1: for the fight. Keep at it. We love seeing your
Speaker 1: mate all the best. Thank you mate. There is NAGA
Speaker 1: frage in the United States. Now. We are going to
