Welcome to Las Vegas. 0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:11.520 Look, I understand that it is very jarring for me 0:00:11.560 --> 0:00:14.920 to be here. Happy times, looking forward to rugby leagu 0:00:14.960 --> 0:00:17.360 and what is playing out right now in Israel's strength 0:00:17.360 --> 0:00:22.600 and love to everyone who is affected, deeply concerned. Again, 0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:25.239 you can watch all of that live on the Sky 0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:28.640 News Election channel. That is available on the Sky News app. 0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:31.960 It's available through our website, it's available through Foxtel. So 0:00:32.479 --> 0:00:35.080 with recognition of that, and also I promise that tonight 0:00:35.320 --> 0:00:37.400 will of course be about other things in the news. 0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:39.880 How can I not just recognize where I am. 0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:42.600 I am in Sin City because we are here in 0:00:42.640 --> 0:00:46.479 the countdown too the rugby league, the rugby League is 0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:47.479 going to happen this weekend. 0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:49.560 It's going to be the start of a league season. 0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:54.440 But this is a destination now, a scenario where there 0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:55.760 are people who literally. 0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:57.440 Travel from all over the globe. 0:00:57.160 --> 0:00:59.640 And we've met plenty of them today as they have 0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:03.000 made their way here to get ready to celebrate their team, 0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:06.200 but also this incredible game being played here in the 0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:10.560 United States. Now, as I say, we're going to toggle between. 0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:13.040 The fun that's happening here, the seriousness that's happening at home. 0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:16.160 I'll obviously have my opinion on the day's events, and 0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:19.959 we are going to have Crackerjack or Killer no Filler 0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:23.039 panel this evening with Robin Bishop and Stephen Conry. 0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:23.399 Geez. 0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:25.920 I wonder if they'll agree on anything. Probably not going 0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:28.959 to be the case now. Also today, the teams have 0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:31.919 begun the training processes that they are getting ready before 0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:34.319 they are going to take to the field in those 0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:37.040 games on Saturday. There are going to be four of them, 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:40.119 two NRL games, the Super League game. The jill Us 0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:42.560 are going to go around so wonderfully supported by a 0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:44.800 mates over at Harvey Norman and a man who's passionate 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:47.760 about every little second of every person who's involved in 0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:49.880 all of this is the Great Andrew Abdo. He is 0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:52.320 the CEO of the NROL. We'll talk about some of 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:55.040 the behind the scenes in all of this. And the 0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:59.120 one the Only, Meghan Kelly. No, she's not coming to 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:00.880 the footy, but she's on I'm the Telly tonight. I 0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:02.480 can't wait for you to see her. And there is 0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:04.880 so much to talk about with her. In a moment 0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:07.840 or two's time, but first let's also talk about what's 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:11.000 happening in Queensland right now, which is a tropical cyclone 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:14.000 making its way towards the coast. It'll be there sooner 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:16.440 rather than later. Now, remember this film was supposed to 0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:20.320 be tropical Cyclone Anthony or Albow, so I'll joke about 0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:22.240 that until it starts to get a bit more serious. 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:24.400 But it feels like we're getting there, that everyone is 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:27.040 watching us right now on sky News Regional. We're thinking 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:29.280 of you, and remember twenty four to seven at sky 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:31.440 News dot com dot Au our weather channel. 0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:36.280 By the beginning of the weekend, there's a high likelihood 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:39.760 at this stage the system should turn towards the Queensland coast, 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:44.440 increasing winds, bringing some big waves and potentially bringing some 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:46.480 rain to coast or pockets of Queensland. 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:50.760 So how strong is it going to be? 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.639 Well, let's all find out again from that incredible team 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:56.359 who are trying to keep people informed. Your homepage would 0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:58.600 be sky News dot com dot Au. Double check the 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:01.120 YouTube all of our socials and check out the sky 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:02.360 News Weather Channel. 0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:05.919 The system remains a category two storm as of mid 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:08.880 this morning. Maximum win Gus at the System center still 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:11.920 pracking upon one hundred and fifty five kilometers per hour. 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:13.160 Now over the. 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:16.920 Course of this week, we're tracking that system intensifying and 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:18.279 shifting southwards. 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:21.400 All right, again, strength and love to everyone who's going 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:23.239 to be affected by that. Okay, so let's get to 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:26.680 politics right now. The Prime Minister finds another few billion 0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:29.440 dollars down the back of the couch to try to 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:32.519 solve his problems. When it comes to the polls. Will 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:35.120 it be the case, we'll all find out together. But 0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:37.960 the most recent Resolve poll, this is the one which 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:41.160 people were frightened by in the Labor Party, very hopeful 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:43.320 about in the Liberal Party and those of us that 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:46.280 are wanting a change of government. Pretty clear here when 0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:49.920 the primary voting Victoria in particular is so bad, it's 0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:52.240 not even a quarter of everyone that's going to be 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:55.000 voting at the election who will be voting for Labor 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:59.880 if that poll is correct. But certainly the Prime Minister 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:03.320 was in Melbourne today and he had billions of dollars 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:03.960 to hand. 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:04.520 Out with him. 0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:07.160 This adds to a very long list of promises that 0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:08.680 I'll get to in a moment. But first he is 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:10.920 the Prime Minister on the billions of dollars that is 0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:13.120 coming on top of billions more that have already been 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:14.240 promised this year. 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:18.800 To make this happen, our labor governments committing seven billion 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:23.480 dollars to build Melbourne Airport Rail, the next important step 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:28.560 in suburban railroop. This includes our existing five billion dollars 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:31.680 to build the rail line toer Tullomarine, funding that will 0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:34.120 build the track as well as the bridge and signaling 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:39.040 improvements to deliver future upgrades to service Melbourne's North and West. 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:42.839 On top of this, we'll investor further two billion dollars 0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:45.400 to help transform Sunshine Station. 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:50.880 Now Ever, since the start of this year, the Prime 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:54.920 Minister has been promising billions of dollars. Billions of dollars 0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:57.279 are your money, Billions of dollars that may will not 0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:00.599 end up turning up anywhere near the budget because it'll 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:03.680 be off budget and it's an investment. But have a 0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:05.720 look at how much money has been promised by this 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:08.240 Prime minister since just the start of the year. 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:10.320 We are not even at the end of the second 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:10.960 month of. 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:15.240 The year thirty and a bit b four billion dollars 0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:18.599 that have been spent thus far. But the real news 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:21.160 today about what the Prime Minister has been trying to do, 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:23.880 of course, when all else fails, despite the fact that 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:27.120 more than half of the country thinks that Anthony Abernezi 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:29.040 is the one who is doing a poor or very 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:32.080 poor job, we must talk about Peter Dutton. All roads 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:34.080 lead to Peter Dutton, the ugaboog of music, all the 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:37.719 rest of it. Right Well, as you know, we told 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:40.320 you by the reporting of James Campbell. After the failure 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:42.919 of the Voice, the punishment that Peter Dutton was to 0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:45.960 receive was for the Labor Party to put together a 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:49.680 dirt unit. This was not secret, this was open, This 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:52.839 was available. This is something that has been slowly but 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:56.320 surely feeding certain people in the press gallery. And you 0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:58.119 may well have noticed in the past couple of days 0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:01.880 some really ancient stuff life is starting to pop up. 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:02.200 You know. 0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:03.120 They want to talk. 0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:05.480 About health policy from twenty fourteen, They want to talk 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:08.920 about shares from two thousand and nine. They even want 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:11.279 to go through and list all of the different properties 0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:15.599 that his family trust has owned over the years. But 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:17.720 I want to talk about a little political tactic. Now 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:19.039 I might be on the other side of the world. 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:21.040 I might be getting ready to talk about rugby league. 0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:22.719 I might have a cowboy hat on and yeah, I 0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:24.719 get it, it looks like it does. But you know, 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:28.440 Vegas baby. The thing is that there is a trick 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:32.200 that is a long term trick that politicians play when 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:34.600 they know there's no real evidence, when they know there 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:36.719 is no case, when they know that they will not 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:39.440 go to a national corruption commission, when there is no 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:42.640 smoking gun. What they do is to make sure that 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:47.640 the story lasts another day and another day and another day. 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:50.359 Is to turn around and say that the person you 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:54.359 are trying to hurl my dad has questions to answer. 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:57.359 Now we have a system where if they wanted to, 0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:59.680 they could refer it to a corruption commission. They may 0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:01.360 well end up doing that in a few days time, 0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:03.039 so they can say for the rest of the campaign 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:07.080 under a corruption you get the game, right, but just 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:09.560 in case we are missing it. This is the official 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:11.040 talking point of the Labor Party. 0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:11.160 Now. 0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:13.560 Remember, they can't talk about their own performance when it 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:15.560 comes to what they promised three years ago on cost 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:18.440 of living. They can't talk about how they will actually 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:20.280 make your life better in the next three years. 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:22.080 No, no, no, no no, it's all about. 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:26.680 Let's get dotte with the questions to answer Whisper campaign. 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:30.240 It's up to him to tell the Australian people did 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:32.920 he have access to that sensitive information? 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:37.080 That matter for Peter Dutton to explain. 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:38.680 What chares did he buy, how much did he buy 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:39.120 them for? 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:43.120 Did he have access to privileged, confidential informational people who. 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:47.680 Did see The reality is is that normal people don't 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:49.840 buy this. Right now, do I think that Peter dudn't 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:51.760 walks on water and therefore there is there's no way 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:52.239 he could. 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:53.360 Ever be quitting? Of course not right. 0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:58.000 But if it's twenty twenty five and suddenly after a 0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:02.360 couple of years of digging, oh questions to answer, here's 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:07.200 the documents, please, it's not even the documents. So I 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:09.280 think this one is just about trying to fire up 0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:11.520 the dirt unit, trying to change the subject. Because remember, 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:14.000 if the subject is what the Australian people currently say 0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:16.480 is the number one issue, cost of living, this government 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:19.520 is going to lose. This government is going to be 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:23.520 pushed into a minority, a minority that might be so 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:26.440 deep that they are going to have to have almost 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:29.040 any and everyone in the Parliament who is not label 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:30.760 or Liberal to hold themselves up that is going to 0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:33.559 be terrible for our country. Now they'll say it wins 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:35.720 a win, but that is the truth. The questions to 0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:37.720 answer garbage. I'll get to that in a second. For 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:39.800 his part, Peter Dutton, well, he can see what all. 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:40.199 This is about. 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:44.880 The Prime Minister's office is shopping around dirt sheets at 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:47.680 the moment, transactions that go back to when I was 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:50.320 twenty years of age. I think it reflects poorly on 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:52.360 the Prime Minister and the desperation that he's in at 0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:52.800 the moment. 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:57.280 And again, why is it questions to answer? Why is 0:08:57.320 --> 0:09:00.000 the media saying doesn't respond to the questions to answer? 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:05.000 You know, the infinite Canberra colombo, the Canberra bubble garbage, 0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:07.280 when of course the number one issue is cost to living. 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:11.360 It's because today we've got more information, more insight about 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:13.280 the problems that they said were the worst was behind. 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:15.319 It's nothing to see here. We're on our way to 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:19.079 a greater and more amazing future. Monthly inflation actually went 0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:22.000 up in January. Now remember it's already artificially being held 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:24.040 down because of the money that they are trying to 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:26.920 pay off or to pay off buy off people from 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:28.760 the biggest house to the smaller shack in the bush 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:31.440 when it comes to power prices, because their decisions in 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:33.680 and around power did not deliver two hundred and seventy 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:36.080 five dollars. So all of that has of course created 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:38.520 a fictitious story in and around inflation. 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:40.040 Well guess what. 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:44.400 Unsurprisingly, the expectation here is that the Reserve Bank is 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:46.760 paying attention to all of this and the chances of 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:50.800 another interest rate fall, the one that the Prime Minister 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:53.440 hopes would happen in the final week of an election campaign. 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:55.880 Guess what, It's not going to happen now why in 0:09:55.920 --> 0:10:00.000 part because of the numbers that are around today. Oh yeah, 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:01.760 and you know how the government as well is not 0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:03.959 willing to talk about its own record, its own ideas 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:07.160 pointing to its own success. Instead, they're going back to 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:11.440 the politics of the two thousand and sixteen election, back 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:13.680 with many scare and all of this is based off 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:21.000 comments they have edited from two thousand and fourteen. Honestly, 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:24.760 this stuff is not touching the sides. It's not moving 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:28.120 the needle. It might fire up a few lefties, it 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:31.160 might turn a few teals into labor voters and Greens 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:33.520 into labor, but it's not going to move what has 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:35.520 been that huge bulk of people that have been walking 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:38.720 away from a government that promised for it to be better. 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:42.840 And a perfect example of that today about why again 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:44.400 they are trying to change the subject. 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:46.880 Look over here, Look over here, look over here. 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:49.800 They would love the distraction of the bright lights of 0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:53.960 Las Vegas in this lead up to the campaign, well 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:57.160 Mark Butler, Today he and the government has signed. 0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:59.840 Off on and increase in how much you are going. 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:02.120 To have to pay for your private insurance. Your private 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:04.520 health insurance will go up. This will be caught up 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:06.720 in the inflation numbers. But the hope is no one 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:08.480 will be paying attention because by then. 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:10.840 Questions shru answer, question, shru answer. 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:15.160 We've been to this game many times before. Now few 0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:18.120 issues in and around China. You do not have to 0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:21.360 be blind, Freddy to understand that this government goes soft 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:23.280 on China because. 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:25.520 There is a political advantage in this. 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:29.800 Now they should be as aggressive as possible in the 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:34.520 response to China giving us the middle finger off our coasts. 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:37.880 And how does it work that our defenses are so poor? 0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:40.439 And I'm talking about our electronic ones which should be 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:44.440 able to monitor a few CA's of Sydney that it 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:50.040 was forty minutes after Chinese warships started firing, that the 0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:51.760 Australian Defense Force was. 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:52.160 Aware of it. 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:54.920 And you know who found out before apparently a pilot 0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:57.959 from virgin who was flying in the area and decided 0:11:58.000 --> 0:11:58.960 to go around it. 0:11:59.280 --> 0:11:59.920 What is happen? 0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:03.960 Understandably the liberals, they think there are dare I say 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:05.120 questions to answer. 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:10.439 This does seem to be quite menacing behavior from somebody 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:15.480 that is supposed to be an economic partner. And indeed, 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:19.160 a relationship that Anthony Abernezi prides himself on doesn't sound 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:20.960 like a particularly good relationship to me. 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:25.080 And again, you know you don't upset China, because if 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:27.680 you're upset China, there's one point four million voters that 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:29.400 used to vote a certain way, then they voted a 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:33.360 different way. And god forbid if it wasn't labor again 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:37.199 in the upcoming election, which brings us to more federal 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:39.840 MPs using an even worse version of. 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:41.480 A Chinese surveillance app than TikTok. 0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:43.640 This one, I'm not even going to bother to promote 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:46.040 it for you, but this is one that people were 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:48.120 using as an alternative to TikTok when they thought the 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:50.280 TikTok was going to be taken off the air. This 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:54.480 thing has even less controls than that Chinese surveillance app 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:57.960 Yet for some reason, Australian politicians they keep doing this. 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:00.520 They are on this thing. The type of polis I'm 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:04.439 talking about here. There's a Liberal MP, Keith Wallahan, Labor 0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:08.079 MP Jeremy laxel teals like Monique Ryan, and even the 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:08.960 Victorian Premier. 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:09.840 Why are they doing that? 0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:17.000 Meantime, the Opposition leaders promise one that he saw not 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:19.040 two weeks ago, but he made it after the budget 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:21.240 in May of last year, which is the no more 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:24.640 foreign buyers in Australia in the real estate market. For 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:27.240 the first couple of years of his Prime ministership. This 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:28.200 was something that was. 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:30.560 Popular with seventy three seventy three. 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:33.920 Percent of people in marginal electorates, and so much so, 0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:36.680 of course, that the Labor Party ended up knocking it off. 0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:41.400 Well guess what, Before the Clayton's ban comes into place, 0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:43.760 there has been an explosion in a number of Chinese 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:46.640 investors in the Australian property market. The latest Foreign Investment 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:49.560 Review Board figures released this week covered the September quarter 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:52.800 and they showedd bias from mainland. China approved for four 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:56.840 hundred million dollars in Australian real estate purchases buy us 0:13:56.840 --> 0:14:00.760 from Hong Kong and Taiwan. China also approved one hundred 0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:03.280 million dollars respectively. Well, of course thy wants its own country, 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:05.320 but you get my point. Taking it to six hundred 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:08.800 million dollars unbelievable. Oh and by the way, if you 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:10.720 think the Labour Party is doing exactly what the promise 0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:13.480 to Peter Dutton was, no, their ban is only on 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:16.960 existing properties, which means Chinese investors will still be able 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:18.240 to be the ones who can bid. 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:18.760 Up on. 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:24.880 Off the plan new places. It's not a ban. No 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:27.160 giant surprise there, all right. A couple of other things 0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:29.400 to mention before we get into the celebration of rugby league, 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:31.720 and then back to the big debate between of course 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:33.760 the carryover champ in Bromwell Bishop and the man who's 0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:36.240 just here to help Stephen Conroy. Today should have been 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:39.560 the eightieth birthday of one of my absolute heroes, and 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:41.600 of course that is Peter Brock, the man who won 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:46.520 the Batist one thousand, nine times, a phenomenal Australian who sadly, 0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:48.960 of course, after an accident in the early two thousands, 0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:51.200 is no longer with us. But strength and Larva was 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:53.240 supported by so many people. And I know the people 0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:56.560 over at HDT in Sydney. They carry on his memory 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:58.840 and they took to social media to recognize it. 0:14:58.880 --> 0:14:59.240 Today. 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:02.000 The land of Trump where I am right now in 0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:03.720 a state of course that voted for Trump. 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:05.480 Remember it's very red country right now. 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:08.320 Donald Trump in the Oval Office, well, he decided to 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:10.680 open lake in the middle finger again to the media. 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:13.480 This time he was handing out hats that said Trump 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:14.480 was always right. 0:15:14.520 --> 0:15:17.720 I have a look, right, you want one? Are you 0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:18.520 allowed to take one? 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:22.200 Because he'll consider And I know him well, a stiff 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:24.240 I said, you're Brian, You're not a stifler. 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:27.480 Of a stiff guy. He'll take other things, but not 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:28.080 a free head. 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:31.520 Always say yes to the president, always say yes to 0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:36.280 anybody like one. And speaking of the US, so have 0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:38.160 I none other than the wonderful Magan Kelly. 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:42.840 She joins us in moments, being pool is a big responsibility, 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:45.040 Like you're the one who has to make sure there's 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:47.280 eyes on the president at all times. I'm a little 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:52.720 worried like you can't boot CNN and replace them with 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:56.120 like a podcaster. That's that is not going to work. 0:15:56.720 --> 0:15:59.240 So I love the zealousness of it. I know the 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:02.240 heart is in the right plays on the execution. I 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:03.800 let's wait and see. 0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:05.760 Now again. 0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:07.480 I get it, there's lots of serious things in the world, 0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:09.520 but right now we are here to bring a little 0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:10.680 light in your life, to give you a bit of 0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:12.160 a smile, to give you a bit of a taste 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:14.920 of what it's like to be in Sin City.
