WEBVTT - The Late Debate | 19 March

0:00:00.720 --> 0:00:08.280
<v Speaker 1>Late wait, general, welcome, late by, good evening. Great to

0:00:08.280 --> 0:00:10.640
<v Speaker 1>have your company on the Late Debate. I'm James Macpherson

0:00:10.680 --> 0:00:13.600
<v Speaker 1>with Liz Storer and filling in for Caleb Bond freyer Leitch.

0:00:13.760 --> 0:00:17.239
<v Speaker 1>Coming up tonight, Virgin Airlines are introducing flights where you

0:00:17.239 --> 0:00:19.840
<v Speaker 1>can take your dog. But what about taking your dog

0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:22.599
<v Speaker 1>to the cinema. Apparently it's about to become a thing.

0:00:22.680 --> 0:00:25.159
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk about that later. Plus when we get to

0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:29.120
<v Speaker 1>the papers, The Daily Telegraph in Sydney unveils just why

0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:32.400
<v Speaker 1>houses are so expensive wait until you hear what tradees

0:00:32.920 --> 0:00:35.400
<v Speaker 1>are being paid. And a story on the front page

0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:40.279
<v Speaker 1>of Tomorrow's Australian reveals how a Sydney university is requiring

0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:43.640
<v Speaker 1>students to do a privilege walk so they can understand

0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:46.519
<v Speaker 1>their status and power. We'll get to all of that

0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:48.680
<v Speaker 1>when we'll get tomorrow's news, but we're going to start

0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:52.280
<v Speaker 1>the program tonight in Hungary, where their politicians have just

0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:57.640
<v Speaker 1>voted to ban Budapest's annual gay pride parade. MP's voted

0:00:57.680 --> 0:01:00.360
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and thirty six to twenty seven in favor

0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:03.640
<v Speaker 1>of banning the Mardi Gras on the grounds that could

0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:08.240
<v Speaker 1>be harmful to children. The Prime Minister, Victor Auburn tweeted

0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:14.080
<v Speaker 1>child Protection tick Pride March X. Today we voted to

0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:18.440
<v Speaker 1>ban gatherings that violate child protection laws in Hungary. A

0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:22.240
<v Speaker 1>child's right to healthy physical, mental, intellectual and moral development

0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:29.000
<v Speaker 1>comes first. We won't let woke ideology in danger our kids. Now.

0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:32.319
<v Speaker 1>MPs who wanted the gay Pride parade to go ahead

0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:35.320
<v Speaker 1>but lost the vote, well, they responded exactly as you

0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:39.880
<v Speaker 1>would expect them to respond, with rainbow smoke bombs released

0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:44.240
<v Speaker 1>in the Parliament. Activists have vowed to defy the ban

0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:48.120
<v Speaker 1>and hold their Pride march regardless, but the new law

0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:54.000
<v Speaker 1>allows police to use facial recognition technology to identify participants

0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:57.640
<v Speaker 1>and issue them with eight hundred and sixty dollars fines.

0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:00.320
<v Speaker 1>So what do we think? Is this a good idea

0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:04.559
<v Speaker 1>or is this limitation on people's democratic freedoms? Frayer, Liz,

0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:05.880
<v Speaker 1>how about it? What do you think?

0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:07.320
<v Speaker 2>Well?

0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:10.800
<v Speaker 3>I would start off by saying some of the scenes

0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:13.840
<v Speaker 3>you see from Pride marches in Australia and around the

0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:20.160
<v Speaker 3>world are truly shocking public nudity, obscene acts on display

0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:22.880
<v Speaker 3>for all to see, and so there has to be

0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:26.120
<v Speaker 3>some line here. But that is why we have public

0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:30.640
<v Speaker 3>decency laws. So if it's about shielding children from horrible

0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:33.560
<v Speaker 3>sites that will scar them for life, why don't we

0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:38.320
<v Speaker 3>start by actually enforcing the existing public decency laws that

0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:42.120
<v Speaker 3>we already have. Because my main concern with a bill

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:45.519
<v Speaker 3>like this is that it's a violation of people's right

0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:49.359
<v Speaker 3>to assembly. That's central to any democracy. We should be

0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:52.760
<v Speaker 3>able to gather freely, and in this instance it's being

0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:56.120
<v Speaker 3>used to stop mighty gras, which you know, people might

0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:58.720
<v Speaker 3>have different thoughts on that, but that could easily be

0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:02.720
<v Speaker 3>used against conservative if the wrong government gets into powers.

0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:06.280
<v Speaker 3>So it's important that we defend these fundamental rights.

0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:10.080
<v Speaker 2>I would say it's got absolutely nothing to do with

0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:13.640
<v Speaker 2>freedom of assembly, because if they were simply assembling with

0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:17.400
<v Speaker 2>their clothes on and acting in an upstanding, decent way,

0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:20.960
<v Speaker 2>they would be allowed to assemble. I would even argue

0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:24.360
<v Speaker 2>this isn't about public nudity. Go to any beach in

0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:26.560
<v Speaker 2>any part of the world, and you'll see plenty of

0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:30.520
<v Speaker 2>that there, but it's an entirely different context. While people

0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:33.840
<v Speaker 2>wear very little clothes to the beach, it's not overtly

0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:38.240
<v Speaker 2>sexual and people aren't engaging and what would otherwise be

0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:43.160
<v Speaker 2>very much understood to be adult behavior. Now, we need

0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:46.760
<v Speaker 2>to be very clear about what the bill has outlawed

0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:50.240
<v Speaker 2>in terms of calling it child protection. It prohibits the

0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:56.760
<v Speaker 2>depiction or promotion of homosex homosexuality to anyone under eighteen

0:03:57.040 --> 0:04:04.480
<v Speaker 2>in any content available to so that means children's programs, cartoons,

0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:11.400
<v Speaker 2>educational facilities, schools are forbidden to talk about LGBTIQ matters

0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:15.160
<v Speaker 2>to children. Wouldn't you love to see that here? How

0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:19.880
<v Speaker 2>often we talk about another school being busted indoctrinating kids

0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:23.120
<v Speaker 2>into something that their parents have not only not signed

0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:28.720
<v Speaker 2>off on, but are completely unaware of. It also bans

0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:32.760
<v Speaker 2>the mention of LGBTIQ issues in schools. I've already said that,

0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:39.279
<v Speaker 2>and forbids public depiction of gender deviating from sex at birth.

0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:42.680
<v Speaker 2>Once again, how many times that we've talked about the

0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:48.040
<v Speaker 2>epidemic of gender confusion amongst children. Hungary is taking steps

0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:52.040
<v Speaker 2>to ensure that that simply isn't a thing. We talk

0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:56.839
<v Speaker 2>about our hyper sexualized society and the fact that when

0:04:56.839 --> 0:05:00.480
<v Speaker 2>it comes to our kids, you can do no wrong

0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:04.880
<v Speaker 2>in saying, you know what, adults, this has always required

0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:11.400
<v Speaker 2>your self control and adults putting children's needs and their

0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:18.000
<v Speaker 2>innocence ahead of an adult's desire to engage in sexual

0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:22.800
<v Speaker 2>anything in public, including nudity. We have always as a

0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:26.719
<v Speaker 2>society understood that that was necessary. I don't care who

0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:29.640
<v Speaker 2>you're sleeping with, I don't care what kind of sexual

0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:33.400
<v Speaker 2>acts you enjoy and engage in, but as a society

0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:37.400
<v Speaker 2>we go, look, kids should not be exposed to that.

0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:40.239
<v Speaker 2>And we still live in a country where to even

0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:43.520
<v Speaker 2>engage in sexual activity if you're under the age of

0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:49.080
<v Speaker 2>sixteen is forbidden. You are breaking the law. So why

0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:54.520
<v Speaker 2>is it that children are routinely exposed through our health system,

0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:59.120
<v Speaker 2>through our education system, through all manner of other systems,

0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:03.080
<v Speaker 2>including dizzysknee programs, you name it again. How many times

0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:06.480
<v Speaker 2>are we calling these things out? Because even if you're

0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:09.400
<v Speaker 2>the best parent in the world, you are up against

0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:12.800
<v Speaker 2>a system that is working against you. Just before we

0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:15.919
<v Speaker 2>came to air, I was made aware of a headline

0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:23.160
<v Speaker 2>regarding the Allen government in Victoria pushing their librarians as

0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:28.560
<v Speaker 2>part of a LGBTIQ plus package to ask children what

0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:32.400
<v Speaker 2>their pronouns are. Yeah, while the state's going to hell,

0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:36.600
<v Speaker 2>this is what the Allen government is focusing on. Parents

0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:41.120
<v Speaker 2>cannot be vigilant enough. The war on our children has

0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:46.480
<v Speaker 2>been blown open countless times. Remember that disgusting bdsm Teddy

0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:49.560
<v Speaker 2>bear of a naked man in bondage gear that was

0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:53.920
<v Speaker 2>put up at as a mural in Wynyard Station here

0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:58.200
<v Speaker 2>in Sydney. Some absolute legend poured paint over it, to

0:06:58.279 --> 0:06:58.720
<v Speaker 2>which I.

0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:01.719
<v Speaker 4>Say, buddy, I absolutely love.

0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:04.960
<v Speaker 2>You whoever you are. You're doing the Lord's work. But

0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:07.800
<v Speaker 2>it's not just that. It's the vile books that we

0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:11.640
<v Speaker 2>catch out in our libraries and schools. It's the teachers

0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:15.080
<v Speaker 2>that get caught out in our libraries and schools. It's

0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:19.840
<v Speaker 2>drag Queens storytime being hosted in Victorian and New South

0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Wales Parliament. And even if you go to the Victorian's

0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:28.280
<v Speaker 2>educational website, they will say, yes, if you don't approve

0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:31.360
<v Speaker 2>of your child transitioning, we'll do it behind your back

0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:32.040
<v Speaker 2>at school.

0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:35.000
<v Speaker 1>So are we conflating a couple of issues because you've

0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:35.680
<v Speaker 1>done what at all?

0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Child protection is child protection and so that is the issue.

0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:41.520
<v Speaker 1>So that's ya address, that's the principle that they are

0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:45.000
<v Speaker 1>trying to defend. But specifically they're saying the Budapest Gay

0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:48.560
<v Speaker 1>Mardi Gras cannot go ahead and anybody who participates in

0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:54.160
<v Speaker 1>it will be prosecuted and fined. So the thing that

0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:58.520
<v Speaker 1>gets people talking about the Sydney Gay Martigra for instance,

0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:00.680
<v Speaker 1>and you alluded to this, is there seems to be

0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:03.160
<v Speaker 1>this double standard when it comes to public nudity, public

0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:07.800
<v Speaker 1>obscenity and public vilification. So you can't go nude in

0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:11.200
<v Speaker 1>the street without being prosecuted unless you do it during

0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:14.240
<v Speaker 1>the Mardi Gras, in which case you're celebrated and broadcast

0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:16.880
<v Speaker 1>on I don't know the ABC or the SBS. You

0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:20.200
<v Speaker 1>can't engage in lude sex acts in public you be

0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:23.600
<v Speaker 1>prosecuted unless you do it under a rainbow flag. And

0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:27.600
<v Speaker 1>you can't vilify someone based on gender, sexuality or religion

0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:31.239
<v Speaker 1>unless you're a gay guy addressing as a Catholic nun

0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:34.040
<v Speaker 1>at the gay Mardi Gras, and then instead of prosecuting

0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:37.000
<v Speaker 1>you for vilification, the police will post for a photograph

0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:40.120
<v Speaker 1>with you, as they did in twenty twenty two, and

0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:43.920
<v Speaker 1>they posted the photo to the official police website before

0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:48.480
<v Speaker 1>complaints from the Catholic Church had them reluctantly and belatedly

0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:53.480
<v Speaker 1>pull it down. So nudity, obscenity and vilification and nogo

0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:58.960
<v Speaker 1>zones except during Mardi Gras and have your march protest

0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:01.560
<v Speaker 1>for your rights. Do all you want, but shouldn't the

0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:04.400
<v Speaker 1>people during that march be expected to adhere to the

0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:08.000
<v Speaker 1>law as everybody else is expected to every other day

0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:09.359
<v Speaker 1>in every other context.

0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:11.400
<v Speaker 4>Of course, that's exactly what should happen.

0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:15.719
<v Speaker 3>We should just enforce the obscenity laws that already exist. Now,

0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:18.160
<v Speaker 3>the problem with your argument, Liz is I think we

0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:21.280
<v Speaker 3>all agree on the fundamental premise, which is that we

0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:25.280
<v Speaker 3>should protect children from this woke politics that is being

0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:28.319
<v Speaker 3>shoved down their throat in every single aspect of society.

0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:31.400
<v Speaker 3>Of course, everyone here agrees with that, and most people

0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:32.560
<v Speaker 3>watching would agree with that.

0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:33.880
<v Speaker 4>The question is.

0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:36.920
<v Speaker 3>Where do you draw the line in the balance between

0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:41.320
<v Speaker 3>protecting children and also protecting the freedom of others. Now,

0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:44.960
<v Speaker 3>you are essentially saying that the mine Okay, So then

0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:48.520
<v Speaker 3>let me ask you this. Children above ours in.

0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:52.160
<v Speaker 2>Society, they should agree that a child's innocence, which, by

0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:57.880
<v Speaker 2>the way, once taken, is gone for us children to apunges.

0:09:57.960 --> 0:09:59.160
<v Speaker 4>Let me ask you this question.

0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:03.000
<v Speaker 3>Please, do you support banning social media for children under sixteen?

0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:06.080
<v Speaker 2>Ah? I'm so glad you raised this, because that isn't

0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:06.920
<v Speaker 2>it interesting?

0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:07.760
<v Speaker 5>No?

0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:11.840
<v Speaker 2>Isn't it interesting that our government does not care about

0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:15.880
<v Speaker 2>protecting children. I just gave you multiple examples of how

0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:20.600
<v Speaker 2>they are facilitating shoving this down your child's throat, and

0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:23.760
<v Speaker 2>yet it was only two weeks after they passed their

0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:29.080
<v Speaker 2>Digital ID bill that suddenly they cared about your child's

0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:32.640
<v Speaker 2>innocence and the fact that they might be bullied online.

0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:35.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't buy that for an incidance. And you know what,

0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:39.960
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't apply to porn websites. It doesn't apply to

0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:43.400
<v Speaker 2>the things that we have known for years. There are

0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:44.720
<v Speaker 2>mountains of evidence.

0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:47.640
<v Speaker 1>So you've pointed out the hypocrisy of the government, But

0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:49.480
<v Speaker 1>isn't there hypocrisy in your position.

0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:51.559
<v Speaker 2>I've never supported that then, not once.

0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:54.840
<v Speaker 3>Then I can tell you, with someone that grew up

0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:57.720
<v Speaker 3>on social media, this stuff you see on social media,

0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:00.800
<v Speaker 3>this law and Hungry, by the way, is all about

0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:04.640
<v Speaker 3>banning the expression of homosexuality to children in any form.

0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:08.800
<v Speaker 3>That we're targeted at child literally on social media. So

0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:11.560
<v Speaker 3>the best way to protect them from those scenes would

0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:14.800
<v Speaker 3>naturally then to also be to ban them from social media.

0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:16.920
<v Speaker 3>So I don't understand how you can support a ban

0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:19.000
<v Speaker 3>on Marti gra but then not support a ban on

0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:23.600
<v Speaker 3>children accessing social media when they see they are entirely differently.

0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:29.360
<v Speaker 1>What's the point? Why is the adults public kids and

0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:30.760
<v Speaker 1>parents take and what's.

0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:35.880
<v Speaker 2>The role of parentss place? Sorry?

0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:38.880
<v Speaker 3>Why are children bringing Why are parents bringing their children

0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:41.080
<v Speaker 3>to Marty Grat in the first place if they.

0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:43.959
<v Speaker 2>Want to expose their kids to that kind of ideology,

0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:47.000
<v Speaker 2>As you've just helpfully pointed out, there is any number

0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:49.960
<v Speaker 2>of sites they can take their kids to movies that

0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:52.640
<v Speaker 2>they can show their children. They're probably part of the

0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:57.120
<v Speaker 2>lgbt IQ tumnity themselves, but why should other children mac

0:11:57.160 --> 0:12:00.480
<v Speaker 2>You just mentioned these things are broadcast on free to

0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:03.760
<v Speaker 2>air TV, so even if you're just watching the serience,

0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:08.040
<v Speaker 2>your kids are going to see these scenes depicting So

0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:13.800
<v Speaker 2>I've been selling marketing homosexuality and gender confusion to your

0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:16.520
<v Speaker 2>children at a time when the government is already ramming

0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:17.440
<v Speaker 2>it down their throads.

0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:20.440
<v Speaker 1>So I don't disagree with anything you've said. I just

0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:24.200
<v Speaker 1>think that protecting children from harm, and we're all going

0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:28.080
<v Speaker 1>to disagree on what constitutes harm, is a weak argument.

0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:32.079
<v Speaker 1>A much stronger argument is no public nudity, no public obscenity,

0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:35.160
<v Speaker 1>and no vilifying groups. Don't do those things and you

0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:36.720
<v Speaker 1>can have your parade and you can probably take your

0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:38.559
<v Speaker 1>kids to it, and it'll be Okay. We've got to

0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:40.400
<v Speaker 1>move on, because we've got other things to talk about,

0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:43.600
<v Speaker 1>not least of which is Elon Musk. Elon Musk was

0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:46.280
<v Speaker 1>loved by the left. I mean, he is the most

0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:49.440
<v Speaker 1>prominent promoter of evs, which are going to save the

0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:53.240
<v Speaker 1>planet from global boiling and global warming and every other ailment.

0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:56.240
<v Speaker 1>But then, of course he gave his support to Donald

0:12:56.280 --> 0:13:01.400
<v Speaker 1>Trump and became enemy number one from the left. What's happening, though,

0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:04.400
<v Speaker 1>is not just that Elon Musk personally is being targeted

0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:08.239
<v Speaker 1>by the left, but his business is being targeted. Vehicles

0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:13.720
<v Speaker 1>are being vandalized, dealerships firebomb and charging stations for Tesla's destroyed.

0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:17.280
<v Speaker 1>The effect is that stocks in Tesla's have dropped by

0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:20.920
<v Speaker 1>forty eight percent. Sales have plummeted. Here in Australia in

0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:24.760
<v Speaker 1>February there was just over fifteen hundred Teslas sold, compared

0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:28.320
<v Speaker 1>to almost six thousand at the same time last year,

0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:32.600
<v Speaker 1>and that's been repeated right around the world. Donald Trump

0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:38.520
<v Speaker 1>was asked, does this constitute an active domestic terrorism? You

0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:40.600
<v Speaker 1>consider this an act of gymnastic terror.

0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:44.040
<v Speaker 6>I think so why I think that if and when

0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:45.640
<v Speaker 6>they catch the people, and I hope they do. The

0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:47.080
<v Speaker 6>good thing is they have a lot of cameras in

0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:48.280
<v Speaker 6>those places.

0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:50.520
<v Speaker 1>And they've got some already having to do with that.

0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:53.160
<v Speaker 6>I think that you will find out that they're paid

0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:55.800
<v Speaker 6>by people that are very highly political.

0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:59.800
<v Speaker 1>On the left. This has been going on here in Australia.

0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:04.400
<v Speaker 1>On the tenth the only Tesla dealership in Tasmania was vandalized.

0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:06.559
<v Speaker 1>People wrote on it, do you really want to drive

0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:11.160
<v Speaker 1>a SWATSTICKR car? You can see the pun. They're very

0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:15.640
<v Speaker 1>clever leftists and hail Tesla, with the SS from the

0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:20.880
<v Speaker 1>Nazis emphasized in the word Tesla. The irony about this,

0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:25.880
<v Speaker 1>of course, is that the Democrats have smeared Elon Musk

0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:29.880
<v Speaker 1>as a Nazi, pointing to an unfortunate gesture he made

0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:32.160
<v Speaker 1>that wasn't a Nazi saloop, but they all made out

0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:34.840
<v Speaker 1>like it was, and so they've driven this hatred that's

0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:37.600
<v Speaker 1>now gone right around the world. There's some ironies in this,

0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:40.640
<v Speaker 1>of course, Freyra and Liz. Firstly that most Tesla drivers

0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:43.680
<v Speaker 1>are probably of the left because they believe in global warming.

0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:45.880
<v Speaker 1>They want to do the right thing by the environment there,

0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:50.200
<v Speaker 1>so the left are attacking the left. Second, setting evs

0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:53.360
<v Speaker 1>on fire is probably bad for the environment, not the

0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:57.280
<v Speaker 1>best thing to do. And they're accusing Elon Musk of fascism,

0:14:57.760 --> 0:15:01.720
<v Speaker 1>but in doing that, they're using themselves of storm trooper tactics.

0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:05.200
<v Speaker 1>There was a US website set up quote for people

0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:09.120
<v Speaker 1>on the hunt for Tesla's with actually doxed Tesla owners

0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:12.760
<v Speaker 1>and put online the names and addresses of people who

0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:15.160
<v Speaker 1>own a Tesla. And when you went on that site,

0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:19.120
<v Speaker 1>the cursor on the website was a Molotov cocktail, which

0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:22.360
<v Speaker 1>is kind of suggestive, incredible. So they call Trump a fascist,

0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:25.240
<v Speaker 1>they call Elon Musk a fascist, but they themselves are

0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:29.680
<v Speaker 1>resorting to these kind of tactics as they go after

0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:33.760
<v Speaker 1>ordinary people for the crime of having purchased an EV.

0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:36.920
<v Speaker 1>The question is is this just vandalism, is this just

0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:40.960
<v Speaker 1>anger or is this something more sinister? Is it domestic terrorism?

0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:43.840
<v Speaker 1>I would argue the definition of terrorism that is using

0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:48.000
<v Speaker 1>violence and intimidation for a political cause, would fit this,

0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:50.440
<v Speaker 1>and people who are engaging in this kind of behavior,

0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:53.000
<v Speaker 1>whether in the US or here in Australia, should be

0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:54.160
<v Speaker 1>prosecuted accordingly.

0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:57.040
<v Speaker 2>And it's actually incredibly effective because now you've got all

0:15:57.080 --> 0:16:00.400
<v Speaker 2>these Tesla owners. I mean, we can't overstate this scale

0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:06.520
<v Speaker 2>of this charging stations. Tesla dealerships have literally been firebombed

0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:10.520
<v Speaker 2>and shot at in Portland, Oregon alone. Now we all

0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:14.400
<v Speaker 2>know Portland is the home of the standing Antifa army.

0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:20.920
<v Speaker 2>They've had three attacks on Tesla dealerships just this year alone.

0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:24.720
<v Speaker 2>And they're not small attacks. These are guys with bellaclavers

0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:29.080
<v Speaker 2>absolutely going for it, using molotov cocktails. So it's not

0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:33.160
<v Speaker 2>just an icon or on a little website. They mean business.

0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:36.600
<v Speaker 2>So Tesla owners are now saying, well, I can't even

0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:39.280
<v Speaker 2>get rid of my Tesla because no one wants to

0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:43.520
<v Speaker 2>buy it from me. Everyone's worried about their insurance premiums

0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:46.600
<v Speaker 2>because can you imagine how many insurance companies are going

0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:49.800
<v Speaker 2>to keep dolling out, Oh okay, something bad's happened to

0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:53.040
<v Speaker 2>your Tesla. No, they're going to take action and you're

0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:56.160
<v Speaker 2>just going to be completely screwed. And then, of course

0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:58.680
<v Speaker 2>there is the Tesla market, which hasn't been doing well

0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:02.960
<v Speaker 2>for ages anyway. But who's going to buy one even

0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:05.040
<v Speaker 2>if indeed their heart's in the right place and they

0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:06.960
<v Speaker 2>want to do the right thing by the environment, and

0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:10.000
<v Speaker 2>it's going to work for their lifestyle if these guys

0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:12.480
<v Speaker 2>are on the loose. Check out some of these stickers

0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:15.960
<v Speaker 2>that people have resorted to using. One of them literally

0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:21.239
<v Speaker 2>says I bought this Tesla before Elon supported Trump, being like,

0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:26.560
<v Speaker 2>please hands off, I need to be saved here. This

0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:30.359
<v Speaker 2>doesn't mean that I support this administration or the men

0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:34.200
<v Speaker 2>who gave him two one hundred million dollars to win

0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:42.680
<v Speaker 2>the presidency. So it's a frighteningly very I guess I

0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:46.359
<v Speaker 2>would say effective way of doing what they're doing, because

0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:51.520
<v Speaker 2>this is unquestionably going to stemy tesla owners, the current

0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:53.119
<v Speaker 2>ones and the would be ones.

0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:58.200
<v Speaker 3>And this is exactly how the radical intolerant left operates.

0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:01.800
<v Speaker 3>It's all about the mob mentality. Once they identify the target,

0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:04.720
<v Speaker 3>it's like, let's get all of our psycho friends on

0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:09.000
<v Speaker 3>board to absolutely destroy anyone who speaks out against us.

0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:10.960
<v Speaker 4>And it is actually horrible.

0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:14.359
<v Speaker 3>But I will say this, I never really considered getting

0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:18.399
<v Speaker 3>an electric vehicle, but after seeing all the tesla's being taught,

0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:19.560
<v Speaker 3>I reckon, I'm.

0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:19.879
<v Speaker 4>Going to try it.

0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:23.840
<v Speaker 1>By hard Colet, Yeah, this was the.

0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:26.879
<v Speaker 3>Thing that finally got me over the line on ebs.

0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:29.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, what's lot Musk's crime is wanting to save

0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:33.960
<v Speaker 1>the American taxpayer from fraud and waste, and for that

0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:36.359
<v Speaker 1>he's being persecuted and bullied all around the world.

0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:39.919
<v Speaker 3>And also they tried to compare him to Hitler, but

0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:42.160
<v Speaker 3>that is well, extremely offensive.

0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:44.200
<v Speaker 4>My grandmother was a Holocaust survivor.

0:18:44.520 --> 0:18:48.320
<v Speaker 3>But secondly, he has been to Israel, he has worn

0:18:48.359 --> 0:18:51.679
<v Speaker 3>the necklace saying bring them home, to advocate for the hostages.

0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:55.919
<v Speaker 3>He's used his platform to support the Jewish people. So

0:18:56.080 --> 0:19:02.040
<v Speaker 3>for them to now associate him with Hitler imagery trivializes

0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:07.520
<v Speaker 3>the Holocaust, trivializes the Nazis, and is in itself a

0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:11.640
<v Speaker 3>form of anti Semitism. So this is where the tolerant

0:19:11.760 --> 0:19:12.760
<v Speaker 3>left gets you.

0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:15.520
<v Speaker 1>There you go. But it's not all bad. Is because

0:19:15.560 --> 0:19:18.199
<v Speaker 1>Elon Musk, of course, has come to the rescue of

0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:19.720
<v Speaker 1>US astronauts.

0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:23.560
<v Speaker 2>Of those stranded astronauts that Boeing one another failure on

0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:27.720
<v Speaker 2>Boeing's scorecard. I mean, these guys cannot get anything right.

0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:31.719
<v Speaker 2>These guys have been stranded out in space for nine

0:19:32.280 --> 0:19:35.399
<v Speaker 2>months now. You may remember one of the first things

0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:37.879
<v Speaker 2>Trump did after he won the election was to be

0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:42.560
<v Speaker 2>like Elon bring these guys home. Well today it happened,

0:19:42.760 --> 0:19:46.359
<v Speaker 2>and here it is history and the making. With this touchdown.

0:19:51.400 --> 0:20:01.040
<v Speaker 7>And splashdown crewdine back on Earth, copy Slashdown, shoots cut

0:20:01.800 --> 0:20:06.880
<v Speaker 7>nipt Alex Butch funny on behalf of SpaceX Welcome home.

0:20:08.320 --> 0:20:13.760
<v Speaker 2>Here's doctor Charles Kamada telling the worldwide. This guy has

0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:18.760
<v Speaker 2>not This guy being Elon has not only saved these astronauts,

0:20:19.160 --> 0:20:22.720
<v Speaker 2>He's saved space exploration into the future. Check it out.

0:20:23.560 --> 0:20:27.479
<v Speaker 5>The Elon must save the US space program. If it

0:20:27.560 --> 0:20:30.280
<v Speaker 5>wasn't for Elon Musk, we would not be able to

0:20:30.400 --> 0:20:35.280
<v Speaker 5>fly US astronauts from US soil to the International Space Station.

0:20:35.480 --> 0:20:38.479
<v Speaker 5>Make no, that is no doubt about it. We stopped

0:20:38.480 --> 0:20:41.240
<v Speaker 5>flying astronauts on Space Shuttle in twenty eleven.

0:20:42.680 --> 0:20:45.879
<v Speaker 2>There you have it, Elon mask just casually saving the

0:20:46.000 --> 0:20:48.440
<v Speaker 2>day again. I got to say, the most curious thing

0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:51.600
<v Speaker 2>about SpaceX, though, was just last year. We're celebrating the

0:20:51.640 --> 0:20:55.399
<v Speaker 2>fact that they went eight hundred and seventy miles into space,

0:20:55.440 --> 0:20:58.639
<v Speaker 2>and it was just like, Wow, this is incredible. Everyone's

0:20:58.720 --> 0:21:03.040
<v Speaker 2>froffling over it. It was line news across the world, and

0:21:03.119 --> 0:21:06.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, yet you still want us to believe that

0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:10.600
<v Speaker 2>in the sixties we were tearing around on the Moon,

0:21:10.800 --> 0:21:16.120
<v Speaker 2>which is all of two hundred and forty thousand miles away.

0:21:16.640 --> 0:21:19.440
<v Speaker 2>So imagine it's back in the sixties and you and

0:21:19.520 --> 0:21:23.680
<v Speaker 2>your family are gathered around the TV tuned into CBS,

0:21:24.160 --> 0:21:28.040
<v Speaker 2>and this is what you see Radio Command Lincoln.

0:21:37.840 --> 0:21:40.280
<v Speaker 6>Actually it's a link along that tether line you see there,

0:21:40.320 --> 0:21:41.280
<v Speaker 6>twenty five feet.

0:21:41.040 --> 0:21:41.920
<v Speaker 1>Of umbilical cord.

0:21:43.720 --> 0:21:46.000
<v Speaker 2>And yet I'm the idiot for not believing in the

0:21:46.000 --> 0:21:47.840
<v Speaker 2>moon landing. And then just six.

0:21:49.920 --> 0:21:50.320
<v Speaker 1>Was not real.

0:21:50.480 --> 0:21:55.640
<v Speaker 2>Six that was line on seed Less and then six

0:21:55.760 --> 0:22:02.000
<v Speaker 2>years simulation simulation two CBS. Just six years later, we're

0:22:02.080 --> 0:22:05.120
<v Speaker 2>tearing around the Moon in a rover.

0:22:09.440 --> 0:22:21.960
<v Speaker 8>The ground air under.

0:22:22.280 --> 0:22:26.360
<v Speaker 2>That was in nineteen seventy two. We haven't been back since.

0:22:26.680 --> 0:22:29.680
<v Speaker 2>Even though that was like over fifty.

0:22:29.440 --> 0:22:33.040
<v Speaker 1>First year was not real. It was from a program

0:22:33.119 --> 0:22:36.520
<v Speaker 1>called This Week in Space, hosted by Walter Concrete, and

0:22:36.600 --> 0:22:39.639
<v Speaker 1>he himself said this is a simulation.

0:22:39.280 --> 0:22:42.040
<v Speaker 2>Indeed, and Buzz upheld that and was like it was

0:22:42.080 --> 0:22:45.920
<v Speaker 2>done in a studio. So you're telling me even though

0:22:45.960 --> 0:22:49.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, say the moon, they were in the studio vision.

0:22:49.280 --> 0:22:53.960
<v Speaker 2>He said that you happily watch Buzz saying this repeatedly

0:22:54.920 --> 0:23:00.199
<v Speaker 2>several interviews, Shane, we never went, but you're telling me that,

0:23:00.320 --> 0:23:03.240
<v Speaker 2>even though you know that was a simulation, you just

0:23:03.320 --> 0:23:06.240
<v Speaker 2>believe that they went. They simulation.

0:23:06.680 --> 0:23:10.240
<v Speaker 3>Entire video was to show what would happen when they're

0:23:10.280 --> 0:23:12.639
<v Speaker 3>on the Moon, and that's why they're walking through the

0:23:12.760 --> 0:23:15.960
<v Speaker 3>umbilical cord that connects them to the spacecraft. The point

0:23:16.160 --> 0:23:18.879
<v Speaker 3>was that it was a demonstration of what would happen.

0:23:19.119 --> 0:23:22.000
<v Speaker 3>It was never supposed to be the actual moonlanding.

0:23:22.080 --> 0:23:25.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and the actual moon landing was no better. It

0:23:25.480 --> 0:23:26.720
<v Speaker 2>was legally.

0:23:28.480 --> 0:23:30.960
<v Speaker 1>To prove the moonlanding was fake. You can't you can't

0:23:30.960 --> 0:23:31.920
<v Speaker 1>prove a fake with a fake.

0:23:32.280 --> 0:23:35.479
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying that. I'm saying people gathered around their

0:23:35.520 --> 0:23:38.320
<v Speaker 2>TVs and they were like, this is how it's gonna go, everybody,

0:23:38.640 --> 0:23:41.159
<v Speaker 2>this is what you're gonna see. That is not what

0:23:41.200 --> 0:23:43.800
<v Speaker 2>they actually saw in the end, and then we're asked

0:23:43.840 --> 0:23:48.119
<v Speaker 2>to believe. Just six years later, we're tearing around in

0:23:48.200 --> 0:23:51.600
<v Speaker 2>this buggy thing with a like little satellite dish on

0:23:51.680 --> 0:23:52.159
<v Speaker 2>the front.

0:23:52.160 --> 0:23:52.400
<v Speaker 6>There.

0:23:52.720 --> 0:23:55.959
<v Speaker 2>We've never been back since, and last year we were

0:23:56.040 --> 0:24:00.200
<v Speaker 2>rejoicing to high heaven that Elon Musk SpaceX had made

0:24:00.240 --> 0:24:03.320
<v Speaker 2>it eight hundred and seventy miles into space, but we

0:24:03.480 --> 0:24:07.080
<v Speaker 2>made it two hundred and forty thousand miles all the

0:24:07.119 --> 0:24:10.800
<v Speaker 2>way to the moon the sixties mid hilarious.

0:24:10.800 --> 0:24:12.760
<v Speaker 1>This is not sure about the moon landing. What we

0:24:12.800 --> 0:24:15.840
<v Speaker 1>are sure about, though, is Elon Musk has saved the

0:24:16.000 --> 0:24:19.400
<v Speaker 1>US reputation as well as those astronauts, as well as

0:24:19.400 --> 0:24:22.760
<v Speaker 1>the space program. In fact, Elon Musk said that he

0:24:22.840 --> 0:24:27.240
<v Speaker 1>offered Joe Biden back in November to bring these astronauts home,

0:24:27.280 --> 0:24:30.840
<v Speaker 1>and according to Elon Musk, Biden refused that offer because

0:24:30.840 --> 0:24:33.920
<v Speaker 1>he was scared, we don't want a disaster in space

0:24:34.119 --> 0:24:37.840
<v Speaker 1>right before the November election. And that version of events

0:24:37.920 --> 0:24:40.639
<v Speaker 1>is backed up by Butch Wilmore, one of the astronauts

0:24:40.640 --> 0:24:43.840
<v Speaker 1>who's just been rescued. So say what you like about

0:24:43.880 --> 0:24:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Elon Musk and Tesla's if it wasn't for Elon Musk,

0:24:47.440 --> 0:24:52.840
<v Speaker 1>those astronauts who are now the sixth longest astronauts ever

0:24:52.920 --> 0:24:55.240
<v Speaker 1>in space, not because they wanted to be They're only

0:24:55.280 --> 0:24:57.439
<v Speaker 1>meant to be there for eight days, but they now

0:24:57.560 --> 0:25:01.760
<v Speaker 1>hold something of a world record. Let's talk about foreign students, Freyer,

0:25:01.800 --> 0:25:03.840
<v Speaker 1>because the government have been saying we've got to do

0:25:03.880 --> 0:25:06.280
<v Speaker 1>something about immigration. We're going to curb things, We're going

0:25:06.320 --> 0:25:09.919
<v Speaker 1>to deal with foreign students. But foreign student numbers are

0:25:09.960 --> 0:25:11.760
<v Speaker 1>at historic record levels.

0:25:11.840 --> 0:25:15.200
<v Speaker 3>Yes, new data from the ABS shows a staggering two

0:25:15.480 --> 0:25:20.320
<v Speaker 3>hundred thousand, over two hundred thousand foreign students entered Australia

0:25:20.760 --> 0:25:25.040
<v Speaker 3>in February alone, and some estimates are now saying that

0:25:25.119 --> 0:25:29.399
<v Speaker 3>there are seven hundred thousand foreign students in Australia, another

0:25:29.560 --> 0:25:33.679
<v Speaker 3>one hundred thousand on bridging visas and a further twenty

0:25:33.720 --> 0:25:38.720
<v Speaker 3>five thousand who are currently appealing their visa before the

0:25:38.840 --> 0:25:43.199
<v Speaker 3>Administrative Appeals Tribunal. So in total, that brings us to

0:25:43.320 --> 0:25:48.080
<v Speaker 3>eight hundred and twenty five thousand foreign students in Australia

0:25:48.480 --> 0:25:51.840
<v Speaker 3>in the middle of a housing crisis. Now, this is

0:25:51.880 --> 0:25:56.280
<v Speaker 3>perfectly consistent with Labour's record on migration because as we know,

0:25:56.480 --> 0:25:59.119
<v Speaker 3>in their first two years in government, they brought in

0:25:59.359 --> 0:26:03.320
<v Speaker 3>one billion extra migrants. In that time, we only built

0:26:03.359 --> 0:26:05.600
<v Speaker 3>three hundred and fifty thousand houses, by the way, but

0:26:05.800 --> 0:26:08.920
<v Speaker 3>that is a side note, and that's seventy percent higher

0:26:08.960 --> 0:26:11.480
<v Speaker 3>than any other period on record.

0:26:11.960 --> 0:26:12.240
<v Speaker 4>Ever.

0:26:12.680 --> 0:26:16.679
<v Speaker 3>Now, I, as a recent graduate of Sydney University, have

0:26:16.760 --> 0:26:20.679
<v Speaker 3>a lot of thoughts on foreign students I'm sure my

0:26:20.720 --> 0:26:22.960
<v Speaker 3>alma mater will not be thanking me for this right now.

0:26:23.200 --> 0:26:26.160
<v Speaker 3>But I think the challenge with foreign students is that

0:26:26.200 --> 0:26:31.320
<v Speaker 3>our universities have become so overly reliant on them, to

0:26:31.440 --> 0:26:36.159
<v Speaker 3>the point that we have the highest percentage of foreign

0:26:36.200 --> 0:26:40.920
<v Speaker 3>students in our university systems than any other OECD country.

0:26:41.240 --> 0:26:45.000
<v Speaker 3>At Sydney University it's about fifty percent of students. In

0:26:45.040 --> 0:26:48.920
<v Speaker 3>some postgraduate courses, it is way higher. Now you have

0:26:49.000 --> 0:26:53.159
<v Speaker 3>to think, apart from the obvious impacts on the housing crisis,

0:26:53.520 --> 0:26:57.040
<v Speaker 3>what does this do to education standards when around one

0:26:57.240 --> 0:27:01.240
<v Speaker 3>in twelve foreign students and admit themselves that they do

0:27:01.400 --> 0:27:05.639
<v Speaker 3>not speak good English. So it leaves you with a

0:27:05.680 --> 0:27:09.880
<v Speaker 3>few questions, how are these people even passing courses? And

0:27:09.920 --> 0:27:13.000
<v Speaker 3>then what does it do to the student experience on campus?

0:27:13.200 --> 0:27:16.720
<v Speaker 3>Because I'll tell you what happened at my university. Essentially,

0:27:16.760 --> 0:27:21.840
<v Speaker 3>the classes would separate into domestic students and international students,

0:27:22.040 --> 0:27:26.520
<v Speaker 3>and in some classes as a domestic student UIV minority.

0:27:26.920 --> 0:27:31.439
<v Speaker 3>So rather than enhancing this diverse multicultural experience as the

0:27:31.560 --> 0:27:34.159
<v Speaker 3>universities want to make you think, what it does is

0:27:34.200 --> 0:27:38.680
<v Speaker 3>actually ruin the student experience. It ruins campus life their

0:27:38.720 --> 0:27:42.600
<v Speaker 3>clubs are much less active and people basically segregate into

0:27:42.760 --> 0:27:46.080
<v Speaker 3>racial groups, which is the opposite of what we should

0:27:46.119 --> 0:27:47.840
<v Speaker 3>want for our universities.

0:27:48.000 --> 0:27:50.120
<v Speaker 4>So we need to rain this in asap.

0:27:50.160 --> 0:27:54.399
<v Speaker 3>And I personally think despite Labour's eighteen months of talk

0:27:54.560 --> 0:27:57.919
<v Speaker 3>on course caps, they're actually making no significant cuts to

0:27:57.960 --> 0:28:01.040
<v Speaker 3>student numbers. Their cap is just bringing the numbers back

0:28:01.080 --> 0:28:02.639
<v Speaker 3>to twenty twenty three.

0:28:02.480 --> 0:28:03.920
<v Speaker 4>Levels, which is a joke.

0:28:04.200 --> 0:28:06.919
<v Speaker 3>We need to be setting hard caps twenty five percent

0:28:07.240 --> 0:28:09.800
<v Speaker 3>international students max per course.

0:28:10.040 --> 0:28:12.120
<v Speaker 1>And the problem is not just the number of students

0:28:12.119 --> 0:28:14.840
<v Speaker 1>coming in to study, but the fact that so many

0:28:14.840 --> 0:28:18.440
<v Speaker 1>of them stay on in there after their study has finished.

0:28:18.600 --> 0:28:21.840
<v Speaker 1>I think you said one hundred thousand former students on

0:28:22.000 --> 0:28:25.960
<v Speaker 1>bridging visas trying to gain permanent residency or other visas,

0:28:26.200 --> 0:28:29.879
<v Speaker 1>and then there's twenty five thousand additional former students who

0:28:29.960 --> 0:28:32.280
<v Speaker 1>have been told to go but are now using the

0:28:32.480 --> 0:28:36.639
<v Speaker 1>court's appeal after appeal after appeal in order to stay

0:28:36.680 --> 0:28:38.959
<v Speaker 1>in the country. So the government's got problems at both end,

0:28:39.160 --> 0:28:42.880
<v Speaker 1>too many coming in and not enough leaving. But as well,

0:28:42.880 --> 0:28:45.640
<v Speaker 1>it feeds into the charge that's been made about universities

0:28:45.640 --> 0:28:48.920
<v Speaker 1>they've departed from their mission and they've become all about

0:28:48.960 --> 0:28:51.800
<v Speaker 1>bums on seats and dollars. I had to laugh when

0:28:52.120 --> 0:28:54.640
<v Speaker 1>a couple of weeks ago the Chief Executive of Universities

0:28:54.680 --> 0:29:00.200
<v Speaker 1>Australia made the serious argument that money being directed towards

0:29:00.440 --> 0:29:04.440
<v Speaker 1>roads should be redirected towards universities for research. And he

0:29:04.520 --> 0:29:08.600
<v Speaker 1>actually said, quote unquote, voters would rather a booming economy.

0:29:08.640 --> 0:29:11.920
<v Speaker 1>Didn't quite explain how more university students are going to

0:29:11.960 --> 0:29:14.960
<v Speaker 1>create a booming economy, but he said voters would rather

0:29:15.000 --> 0:29:19.440
<v Speaker 1>a booming economy rather than a shorter commute, which really

0:29:19.480 --> 0:29:22.920
<v Speaker 1>demonstrates the ten year of our universities who continue to

0:29:22.920 --> 0:29:25.000
<v Speaker 1>bring in more and more foreign students to line their

0:29:25.040 --> 0:29:30.720
<v Speaker 1>own pockets, seemingly oblivious or uncaring and unconcerned about the

0:29:30.760 --> 0:29:34.800
<v Speaker 1>impact that's having on everyday australian's i e. The housing crisis.

0:29:35.200 --> 0:29:38.800
<v Speaker 2>Sure the guy does have a point about the economy

0:29:38.840 --> 0:29:41.920
<v Speaker 2>though it was worth fifty one billion dollars as of

0:29:42.000 --> 0:29:45.800
<v Speaker 2>January this year. That is how much international students here

0:29:45.840 --> 0:29:48.040
<v Speaker 2>in Australia. That is what it is worth to the

0:29:48.080 --> 0:29:52.320
<v Speaker 2>Australian economy. And as according to the Education the Federal

0:29:52.480 --> 0:29:56.400
<v Speaker 2>Education departments own website as of the ninth of January

0:29:56.400 --> 0:29:59.080
<v Speaker 2>this year, which answers all these questions, Right, why are

0:29:59.120 --> 0:30:01.360
<v Speaker 2>they doing it? How could they allow it to happen?

0:30:01.520 --> 0:30:04.320
<v Speaker 2>It comes down to the dollar. I don't have a

0:30:04.360 --> 0:30:07.080
<v Speaker 2>problem with these students staying on because at the rate

0:30:07.160 --> 0:30:11.320
<v Speaker 2>of our immigration anyway, it just means perhaps our government

0:30:11.400 --> 0:30:14.800
<v Speaker 2>will allow less immigrants in or.

0:30:14.800 --> 0:30:16.959
<v Speaker 1>Not air Uh So that's not what's happening.

0:30:17.240 --> 0:30:19.880
<v Speaker 2>No, No, it is because if they weren't having this

0:30:20.080 --> 0:30:24.200
<v Speaker 2>many students, they just import more immigrants anyway. They say

0:30:24.240 --> 0:30:26.960
<v Speaker 2>it's all about the bottom line, and they mean it.

0:30:27.120 --> 0:30:28.400
<v Speaker 2>They have numbers, so.

0:30:28.480 --> 0:30:30.760
<v Speaker 3>They have to make up these students because they want

0:30:30.800 --> 0:30:35.400
<v Speaker 3>to support universities which are fundamentally broken institutions and are

0:30:35.440 --> 0:30:38.560
<v Speaker 3>now producing a whole class of leftist activists.

0:30:38.960 --> 0:30:40.320
<v Speaker 4>Kay, no argument they're dead.

0:30:40.760 --> 0:30:42.760
<v Speaker 3>But the problem and the problem with the figure you

0:30:42.840 --> 0:30:46.200
<v Speaker 3>cited around the value of international students is it's actually

0:30:46.360 --> 0:30:49.960
<v Speaker 3>false because the data does not account for the income

0:30:50.280 --> 0:30:53.520
<v Speaker 3>that those international students are earning when they're in the country,

0:30:53.760 --> 0:30:57.600
<v Speaker 3>and given three quarters of them are actually working in Australia,

0:30:58.120 --> 0:31:02.719
<v Speaker 3>their value as an export is actually significantly lower than

0:31:02.760 --> 0:31:06.160
<v Speaker 3>the fifty billion figure cited by the university lobby.

0:31:06.560 --> 0:31:09.160
<v Speaker 2>That's that's just the government department.

0:31:09.480 --> 0:31:12.800
<v Speaker 4>But that's dim it's account for the income.

0:31:13.280 --> 0:31:16.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm not defending them, I'm just quoting the numbers. My

0:31:16.920 --> 0:31:21.760
<v Speaker 2>biggest beef with these universities is that, obviously the biggest

0:31:22.240 --> 0:31:26.120
<v Speaker 2>supporter of their is the Australian government, which means you're

0:31:26.360 --> 0:31:30.280
<v Speaker 2>and my tax dollar. And guess what when your kids,

0:31:30.360 --> 0:31:34.000
<v Speaker 2>when your grandkids apply to go to UNI, they're on

0:31:34.080 --> 0:31:38.240
<v Speaker 2>the back burner, baby, because international students pay up to

0:31:38.440 --> 0:31:42.080
<v Speaker 2>three times as much and they pay up front. So

0:31:42.280 --> 0:31:45.640
<v Speaker 2>your kids, your grandkids trying to get in. They may

0:31:45.640 --> 0:31:50.080
<v Speaker 2>have amazing hex or Ata scores trying to get into

0:31:50.120 --> 0:31:54.440
<v Speaker 2>the same courses. They haven't got Buckley's chance against the

0:31:54.480 --> 0:31:58.800
<v Speaker 2>waves of international students that are cashed up big time.

0:31:58.880 --> 0:32:01.640
<v Speaker 2>It's not fair, but that's the system we've been living

0:32:01.680 --> 0:32:04.760
<v Speaker 2>in for many, many years. Now back to the White

0:32:04.760 --> 0:32:08.520
<v Speaker 2>House where for Saint Patrick's Day they invited a very

0:32:08.560 --> 0:32:12.320
<v Speaker 2>controversial figure in Ireland. His name is Connor McGregor. You

0:32:12.440 --> 0:32:16.040
<v Speaker 2>may remember him as an MMA fighter. He's thrown that

0:32:16.160 --> 0:32:21.200
<v Speaker 2>in now and is instead fighting for Ireland. I'm sure

0:32:21.360 --> 0:32:25.160
<v Speaker 2>nobody expected to see him anytime soon. Behind the podium

0:32:25.520 --> 0:32:29.840
<v Speaker 2>at the White House speaking to a press conference about

0:32:30.000 --> 0:32:33.680
<v Speaker 2>just how bad the immigration levels have reached in Ireland.

0:32:35.080 --> 0:32:37.640
<v Speaker 8>Our government has long since abandoned the voices of the

0:32:37.640 --> 0:32:41.479
<v Speaker 8>people of Ireland and it's high time that America has

0:32:41.520 --> 0:32:43.880
<v Speaker 8>made aware of what's going on in Ireland. What's going

0:32:43.920 --> 0:32:44.920
<v Speaker 8>on in Ireland.

0:32:45.000 --> 0:32:45.680
<v Speaker 1>Is a travesty.

0:32:46.000 --> 0:32:50.040
<v Speaker 8>Our government is the government of zero action with zero accountability.

0:32:50.480 --> 0:32:53.520
<v Speaker 8>You know, our money is being spent on overseas issues

0:32:53.520 --> 0:32:56.720
<v Speaker 8>that is nothing to do with the Irish people. The

0:32:56.840 --> 0:33:00.840
<v Speaker 8>illegal immigration racket is running ravag on on the country.

0:33:01.040 --> 0:33:03.840
<v Speaker 8>Irish Americans, as I said, need to hear this because

0:33:04.640 --> 0:33:06.600
<v Speaker 8>if not, there will be no place to come.

0:33:06.520 --> 0:33:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Home and visit.

0:33:08.920 --> 0:33:12.760
<v Speaker 2>The PM. The Irish BM took a great objection to this,

0:33:12.920 --> 0:33:16.920
<v Speaker 2>obviously being showed up on such an international stage. He

0:33:16.960 --> 0:33:19.680
<v Speaker 2>took to Twitter to say Saint Patrick's Day around the

0:33:19.720 --> 0:33:24.240
<v Speaker 2>world is a day rooted in community, humanity, friendship and fellowship.

0:33:24.520 --> 0:33:28.160
<v Speaker 2>Connor McGregor's remarks are wrong and do not reflect the

0:33:28.200 --> 0:33:31.000
<v Speaker 2>spirit of Saint Patrick's Day or the views of the

0:33:31.040 --> 0:33:34.920
<v Speaker 2>people of Ireland. It's worth looking up that quote just

0:33:34.960 --> 0:33:40.000
<v Speaker 2>to watch him getting absolutely bodied in the comments by

0:33:40.200 --> 0:33:44.200
<v Speaker 2>Irish people saying mate, we are this close to becoming

0:33:44.280 --> 0:33:47.680
<v Speaker 2>a minority in our own country for the first time

0:33:47.800 --> 0:33:52.600
<v Speaker 2>in the history of Ireland. Where backing this ex MMA

0:33:52.720 --> 0:33:57.160
<v Speaker 2>fighter at the White House who's making very public what

0:33:57.400 --> 0:34:01.120
<v Speaker 2>you are doing to our country. And it was quite

0:34:01.120 --> 0:34:04.000
<v Speaker 2>astounding to see the White House platform. This guy is

0:34:04.080 --> 0:34:08.040
<v Speaker 2>some very distasteful shall we say, court case behind him

0:34:08.080 --> 0:34:11.680
<v Speaker 2>back in Ireland, and yet they were happy to share

0:34:11.719 --> 0:34:15.399
<v Speaker 2>to their own Twitter account this happy little jig from

0:34:15.440 --> 0:34:16.840
<v Speaker 2>a very happy little Irishman.

0:34:21.560 --> 0:34:25.840
<v Speaker 8>Happy Parties Day America.

0:34:26.360 --> 0:34:30.520
<v Speaker 2>Now, Connor McGregor has said he wouldn't mind running for PM,

0:34:30.800 --> 0:34:34.400
<v Speaker 2>and the Irish elections are coming up later this year.

0:34:34.880 --> 0:34:37.600
<v Speaker 2>The big question is in order to run for such

0:34:37.680 --> 0:34:40.759
<v Speaker 2>station in the country of Ireland, you have to have

0:34:40.960 --> 0:34:43.800
<v Speaker 2>either twenty members of Parliament to give you the thumbs

0:34:43.880 --> 0:34:49.600
<v Speaker 2>up and basically endorse your standing, or four local councils,

0:34:49.640 --> 0:34:52.560
<v Speaker 2>which begs the question where would such a man find

0:34:52.600 --> 0:34:56.080
<v Speaker 2>them in his country, although I wouldn't be surprised if

0:34:56.120 --> 0:35:01.359
<v Speaker 2>he could, given the absolute fury of the Irish in

0:35:01.520 --> 0:35:04.160
<v Speaker 2>Ireland at the moment as they watch their country be

0:35:04.400 --> 0:35:09.359
<v Speaker 2>absolutely flooded with migrants from all over the world. But

0:35:09.520 --> 0:35:14.919
<v Speaker 2>given these allegations, indeed he's civilly liable for a right

0:35:15.080 --> 0:35:18.759
<v Speaker 2>case back in Ireland. Some say this was just a

0:35:18.800 --> 0:35:22.080
<v Speaker 2>typical smear trying to get a good man trying to

0:35:22.160 --> 0:35:25.279
<v Speaker 2>do good things, standing up to the globalist trying to

0:35:25.360 --> 0:35:29.080
<v Speaker 2>smear him. I guess that's for every single person to decide,

0:35:29.160 --> 0:35:32.799
<v Speaker 2>isn't it. But here he is answering a reporter who

0:35:33.120 --> 0:35:34.439
<v Speaker 2>tried to bring this up.

0:35:35.760 --> 0:35:37.480
<v Speaker 3>One of the teacher says, you don't speak for the

0:35:37.480 --> 0:35:38.200
<v Speaker 3>people of Ireland.

0:35:38.239 --> 0:35:41.120
<v Speaker 8>You're responded, I am an employer of over two hundred people,

0:35:41.320 --> 0:35:43.680
<v Speaker 8>almost three hundred people in the country of Ireland. He's

0:35:43.680 --> 0:35:47.719
<v Speaker 8>an employer of none. Every available metric available to us

0:35:47.840 --> 0:35:49.959
<v Speaker 8>has shown that the government of Ireland currently has failed

0:35:50.000 --> 0:35:52.880
<v Speaker 8>the people of Ireland. In ten years, Dublin City Center

0:35:52.920 --> 0:35:54.840
<v Speaker 8>has gone from one of the most safest cities in

0:35:54.880 --> 0:35:57.200
<v Speaker 8>Europe to one of the most dangerous. So shame and

0:35:57.280 --> 0:35:58.440
<v Speaker 8>him for saying that I'm.

0:35:58.239 --> 0:36:00.719
<v Speaker 6>Here, say to people who feel propriate for you to

0:36:00.760 --> 0:36:02.600
<v Speaker 6>be here, given God bless Iland.

0:36:02.280 --> 0:36:02.839
<v Speaker 1>God bless him.

0:36:04.640 --> 0:36:09.040
<v Speaker 2>The UK has Hourrage, America has Trump, the Dutch have

0:36:09.239 --> 0:36:15.239
<v Speaker 2>Gert Wilda's, Italy has maloney. These characters are adding up

0:36:15.280 --> 0:36:18.239
<v Speaker 2>and while he seems like a very unlikely hero. I

0:36:18.280 --> 0:36:22.280
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't be surprised if he actually gets enough support behind

0:36:22.360 --> 0:36:25.320
<v Speaker 2>him to at least cause a ruckers at the coming

0:36:25.360 --> 0:36:26.000
<v Speaker 2>Irish election.

0:36:26.160 --> 0:36:29.560
<v Speaker 1>He's a very good fighter. I'm not sure whether he's

0:36:29.600 --> 0:36:31.920
<v Speaker 1>going to make much of a politician, although he.

0:36:31.920 --> 0:36:34.680
<v Speaker 2>Loves his country and that is the main ingredient to

0:36:34.719 --> 0:36:39.480
<v Speaker 2>any successful politicians. That's how the global sorry, what do

0:36:39.520 --> 0:36:43.960
<v Speaker 2>they call them, the populists, that's how the populace are

0:36:44.080 --> 0:36:44.680
<v Speaker 2>taking over.

0:36:44.920 --> 0:36:46.360
<v Speaker 1>Well. To be a good fight, you've got to have

0:36:46.360 --> 0:36:48.520
<v Speaker 1>a good sense of timing, and he certainly has that

0:36:48.640 --> 0:36:50.720
<v Speaker 1>because when he got his chance, he was there because

0:36:50.760 --> 0:36:54.359
<v Speaker 1>Trump loves UFC had him there for Saint Patrick's day.

0:36:54.360 --> 0:36:56.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't think Trump was trying to set up Ireland

0:36:56.960 --> 0:36:59.480
<v Speaker 1>because Trump had had the Prime Minister of Ireland in

0:36:59.520 --> 0:37:01.759
<v Speaker 1>the overlof just a few days earlier, and they seem

0:37:01.840 --> 0:37:04.040
<v Speaker 1>to get on quite well. But Connor McGregor, when he

0:37:04.120 --> 0:37:07.399
<v Speaker 1>got his opportunity behind the White House podium, he took it.

0:37:07.600 --> 0:37:09.360
<v Speaker 1>So you got to give him that. We're going to

0:37:09.400 --> 0:37:11.040
<v Speaker 1>go to a break. When we come back, we'll look

0:37:11.080 --> 0:37:15.600
<v Speaker 1>at what's making news tomorrow, including the incredible salaries that

0:37:15.680 --> 0:37:17.640
<v Speaker 1>trades are getting. They wonder that building a house is

0:37:17.640 --> 0:37:26.200
<v Speaker 1>so expensive. That's coming up in just a moment. Welcome back.

0:37:26.239 --> 0:37:28.680
<v Speaker 1>Let's take a look at what's making news tomorrow, and

0:37:29.080 --> 0:37:32.120
<v Speaker 1>kids studying degrees at university might want to reconsider when

0:37:32.160 --> 0:37:35.680
<v Speaker 1>they read Tomorrow's Daily Telegraph. Check out this for a headline,

0:37:36.120 --> 0:37:40.280
<v Speaker 1>supply crisis creates two hundred and fifty thousand dollars tradees

0:37:40.840 --> 0:37:44.680
<v Speaker 1>brickies on big bickies. Very clever sub editor at the

0:37:44.800 --> 0:37:48.720
<v Speaker 1>Daily Telegraph. Here's what the story says. Gold plated trade

0:37:48.880 --> 0:37:51.680
<v Speaker 1>salaries of more than two hundred and fifty thousand dollars

0:37:51.719 --> 0:37:54.000
<v Speaker 1>a year and one of the biggest factors fueling the

0:37:54.000 --> 0:37:58.320
<v Speaker 1>housing crisis, with developers unable to afford the cost of building.

0:37:58.800 --> 0:38:01.880
<v Speaker 1>It goes on to quote research that shows land prices

0:38:01.920 --> 0:38:06.080
<v Speaker 1>in Sydney more than double any other state. Sydney housing

0:38:06.120 --> 0:38:08.760
<v Speaker 1>is now the second and most expensive in the world.

0:38:08.800 --> 0:38:11.600
<v Speaker 1>But here's the real point of the article. He quotes

0:38:11.600 --> 0:38:16.280
<v Speaker 1>an auctioneer who has spoken to bricklayers charging one thousand

0:38:16.320 --> 0:38:20.320
<v Speaker 1>dollars a day for their services. He tells the Telegraph,

0:38:20.400 --> 0:38:24.120
<v Speaker 1>it's not a housing problem we've got, it's a construction problem. Well,

0:38:24.160 --> 0:38:26.880
<v Speaker 1>I suppose when you've got a very tight labor market.

0:38:27.360 --> 0:38:30.239
<v Speaker 1>Trying to find people willing to cut bricks on hot

0:38:30.360 --> 0:38:32.759
<v Speaker 1>days is going to be difficult, So you've got to

0:38:32.760 --> 0:38:34.680
<v Speaker 1>pay what you have to pay. When I was living

0:38:34.719 --> 0:38:36.560
<v Speaker 1>in towns Or, one of my best mates was a

0:38:36.760 --> 0:38:39.719
<v Speaker 1>brickie and he was earning an absolute fortune. And this

0:38:39.760 --> 0:38:43.040
<v Speaker 1>is before the housing crisis. He was on very good money.

0:38:43.080 --> 0:38:45.239
<v Speaker 1>I used to be amazed when he told me what

0:38:45.280 --> 0:38:46.560
<v Speaker 1>he did, and then he told me the sort of

0:38:46.560 --> 0:38:49.200
<v Speaker 1>money he was getting for it. As I said, that

0:38:49.239 --> 0:38:51.440
<v Speaker 1>was before there was a housing crisis. Now they're in

0:38:51.480 --> 0:38:54.719
<v Speaker 1>short supply. But of course that all contributes to the

0:38:54.800 --> 0:38:55.960
<v Speaker 1>high cost of trying to build a.

0:38:55.880 --> 0:38:58.560
<v Speaker 3>Home exactly, and it's only going to get worse because

0:38:58.640 --> 0:39:00.960
<v Speaker 3>labor has this target that they want to see fifty

0:39:01.000 --> 0:39:05.760
<v Speaker 3>five percent of people attaining tersiory qualifications. Fifty five percent

0:39:05.760 --> 0:39:08.520
<v Speaker 3>of people don't need a university degree. We need people

0:39:08.560 --> 0:39:10.759
<v Speaker 3>who actually make stuff, who are productive.

0:39:10.960 --> 0:39:12.200
<v Speaker 4>You contribute to the economy.

0:39:12.360 --> 0:39:14.200
<v Speaker 3>And when we have a shortage of labor like we've

0:39:14.200 --> 0:39:17.040
<v Speaker 3>got now, well, building costs just go through the roof.

0:39:17.080 --> 0:39:19.480
<v Speaker 3>And you combine that with the red tape the builders face,

0:39:19.800 --> 0:39:22.080
<v Speaker 3>plus all the union action that's been going on and

0:39:22.200 --> 0:39:26.160
<v Speaker 3>it's no wonder housing in Australia is so expensive.

0:39:26.480 --> 0:39:28.640
<v Speaker 1>Your second degree in gender studies is not going to

0:39:28.640 --> 0:39:29.719
<v Speaker 1>help solve the housing.

0:39:29.560 --> 0:39:35.360
<v Speaker 2>Crist Well, you know scrips ray oh gosh, to the

0:39:35.400 --> 0:39:38.200
<v Speaker 2>front page of The Australia Now with a splash reads

0:39:38.239 --> 0:39:42.640
<v Speaker 2>House of Cards. Labor wrecking ball is demolishing building sector.

0:39:43.080 --> 0:39:46.440
<v Speaker 2>Building companies are collapsing at record levels amid a dramatic

0:39:46.520 --> 0:39:50.719
<v Speaker 2>increase in strikes following Labour's abolition of the Building Watchdog,

0:39:50.840 --> 0:39:54.919
<v Speaker 2>with projects facing lengthy delays and costs blowouts. After four

0:39:55.400 --> 0:39:59.160
<v Speaker 2>forty seven thousand, one hundred days were lost to industrial

0:39:59.200 --> 0:40:02.920
<v Speaker 2>disputes on construction sites last year, the search in it

0:40:03.200 --> 0:40:07.720
<v Speaker 2>The surge rather in industrial action targeting the construction sector

0:40:08.040 --> 0:40:11.840
<v Speaker 2>has coincided with three four hundred and forty five building

0:40:11.880 --> 0:40:16.279
<v Speaker 2>firms plunging into insolvency over the past twelve months as

0:40:16.320 --> 0:40:21.160
<v Speaker 2>builders are strangled by labor shortages, high costs, red tape

0:40:21.560 --> 0:40:25.719
<v Speaker 2>and approval delays. Now you mean to tell me the

0:40:25.760 --> 0:40:29.960
<v Speaker 2>government can't step in and do what is required to

0:40:30.040 --> 0:40:33.080
<v Speaker 2>make sure these projects go ahead, especially when we are

0:40:33.120 --> 0:40:35.720
<v Speaker 2>in the middle of a housing crisis and we need

0:40:35.760 --> 0:40:40.240
<v Speaker 2>these guys more than ever, and yet nothing's done. We've

0:40:40.480 --> 0:40:43.480
<v Speaker 2>just seen this many thousand, almost three and a half

0:40:43.640 --> 0:40:49.120
<v Speaker 2>thousand more building firms gone into insolvency right under our noses.

0:40:49.200 --> 0:40:51.240
<v Speaker 2>How are we supposed to build stuff in this country

0:40:51.280 --> 0:40:54.520
<v Speaker 2>when A we're so short on tradees, and B the

0:40:54.600 --> 0:40:57.920
<v Speaker 2>firms in charge are like, we're hitting the wall. We

0:40:57.960 --> 0:40:58.959
<v Speaker 2>can't do anything else.

0:40:59.040 --> 0:41:01.480
<v Speaker 1>It's like a perfect store, isn't it. You've got green tape,

0:41:01.520 --> 0:41:04.520
<v Speaker 1>red tape, you've got labor shortages, you've got the cost

0:41:04.560 --> 0:41:07.600
<v Speaker 1>of materials, and then you add to that industrial action

0:41:07.719 --> 0:41:11.000
<v Speaker 1>that's increased exponentially in the last couple of years under

0:41:11.000 --> 0:41:13.399
<v Speaker 1>this labor government. If you're trying to build a house

0:41:13.480 --> 0:41:15.800
<v Speaker 1>or you're a developer, just can't take a trick. Twenty

0:41:15.840 --> 0:41:18.320
<v Speaker 1>six and a half percent of all insolvencies over the

0:41:18.400 --> 0:41:21.000
<v Speaker 1>last couple of years have been within the building industry.

0:41:21.040 --> 0:41:23.759
<v Speaker 1>So that just piles pressure upon pressure exactly.

0:41:23.800 --> 0:41:26.880
<v Speaker 3>It's really concerning. And on top of that, building activity

0:41:27.040 --> 0:41:29.359
<v Speaker 3>is now at a decade low. At a time when

0:41:29.400 --> 0:41:32.080
<v Speaker 3>we should be building more houses than ever, we're actually

0:41:32.080 --> 0:41:32.880
<v Speaker 3>building less.

0:41:33.120 --> 0:41:34.680
<v Speaker 4>And here's an idea for the government.

0:41:34.760 --> 0:41:38.120
<v Speaker 3>Maybe instead of bringing in two hundred thousand international students.

0:41:38.120 --> 0:41:41.080
<v Speaker 3>We bring in two hundred thousand trainees. That might solve

0:41:41.120 --> 0:41:44.560
<v Speaker 3>some of our nation's problems. But over in camera things

0:41:44.560 --> 0:41:48.239
<v Speaker 3>are very interesting. We've seen the Trump cuts around the

0:41:48.280 --> 0:41:52.240
<v Speaker 3>world and now it's A and you on the chopping block.

0:41:52.880 --> 0:41:56.080
<v Speaker 3>The Australian National University has lost funding as the Trump

0:41:56.120 --> 0:42:01.800
<v Speaker 3>administration puts pressure on universities to justify how American grants

0:42:02.160 --> 0:42:05.520
<v Speaker 3>are spent. Among the questions that were sent to the

0:42:05.560 --> 0:42:10.200
<v Speaker 3>a and U is whether any departments or staff defend

0:42:10.520 --> 0:42:12.600
<v Speaker 3>against gender ideology.

0:42:12.840 --> 0:42:14.080
<v Speaker 4>Now, if you've had a look.

0:42:13.920 --> 0:42:17.680
<v Speaker 3>At anything Australian universities are putting out in terms of

0:42:17.760 --> 0:42:21.480
<v Speaker 3>humanities research and even in other disciplines as well, you

0:42:21.560 --> 0:42:24.920
<v Speaker 3>will know they are basically unable to answer that question

0:42:25.000 --> 0:42:29.359
<v Speaker 3>because so much of the research now centers around promoting

0:42:29.800 --> 0:42:33.080
<v Speaker 3>gender ideology. So that's going to be a sticky one

0:42:33.120 --> 0:42:35.040
<v Speaker 3>for Australian universities to get out of.

0:42:35.480 --> 0:42:37.600
<v Speaker 1>It's something that I don't think enough people have talked

0:42:37.600 --> 0:42:39.840
<v Speaker 1>about with Donald Trump. You know, people talking about his

0:42:39.880 --> 0:42:43.920
<v Speaker 1>economic policies is tariffs, but even his economic policies really

0:42:44.000 --> 0:42:48.160
<v Speaker 1>are built around culture wars. Donald Trump is really determined

0:42:48.160 --> 0:42:50.960
<v Speaker 1>over the next four years not just to make the

0:42:51.000 --> 0:42:54.600
<v Speaker 1>economy boom, but he's using economics to fight the culture

0:42:54.640 --> 0:42:58.480
<v Speaker 1>wars and fundamentally change the social agenda of not just

0:42:58.480 --> 0:43:01.719
<v Speaker 1>the United States but Western come trees as evidence here,

0:43:01.960 --> 0:43:05.080
<v Speaker 1>they won't fund you if you are off in terms

0:43:05.160 --> 0:43:08.200
<v Speaker 1>of his idea of how the culture should be, which.

0:43:08.040 --> 0:43:10.480
<v Speaker 2>Is only right, like why would you fund something you

0:43:10.520 --> 0:43:13.920
<v Speaker 2>don't believe in. He's cracking down in America, across the schools,

0:43:13.960 --> 0:43:17.080
<v Speaker 2>across the universities because he knows it's not conducive to

0:43:17.120 --> 0:43:21.359
<v Speaker 2>a flourishing society and indeed the very hierarchy of competence

0:43:21.440 --> 0:43:25.200
<v Speaker 2>upon which any flourishing society is built. So he's like, well,

0:43:25.239 --> 0:43:28.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm not funding you guys doing it over in Australia.

0:43:28.719 --> 0:43:32.160
<v Speaker 2>But speaking of Australia, back to The Australian, the best

0:43:32.200 --> 0:43:37.440
<v Speaker 2>newspaper in the country. Ideology one h one. It's exactly

0:43:37.440 --> 0:43:41.799
<v Speaker 2>what we were just talking about. Students forced into privileged

0:43:41.880 --> 0:43:46.200
<v Speaker 2>walk mcquarie University law students who face the threat of

0:43:46.320 --> 0:43:49.920
<v Speaker 2>failing a component of a key exam if they perform

0:43:50.000 --> 0:43:53.840
<v Speaker 2>an underwhelming acknowledgment of country have been made to adopt

0:43:53.960 --> 0:43:59.600
<v Speaker 2>different personas and perform a quote privilege walk end quote

0:43:59.800 --> 0:44:04.520
<v Speaker 2>in or to do better understand Power and status Agent

0:44:04.680 --> 0:44:09.319
<v Speaker 2>Law Cause Convener Holly Duel Mackay on Wednesday double down

0:44:09.360 --> 0:44:12.960
<v Speaker 2>on revelations publish in The Australian that students were marked

0:44:13.000 --> 0:44:16.359
<v Speaker 2>on their delivery of an acknowledgment of country, saying they

0:44:16.400 --> 0:44:20.600
<v Speaker 2>would quote not meet the metric or rubric end quote

0:44:20.840 --> 0:44:25.360
<v Speaker 2>if they did not perform an appropriate proclamation. So not

0:44:25.520 --> 0:44:29.840
<v Speaker 2>only do we have them doing this, if you're welcome

0:44:29.880 --> 0:44:33.680
<v Speaker 2>to country hasn't got enough passion in it, automatic fail.

0:44:34.239 --> 0:44:36.800
<v Speaker 2>Now they're forced to do privilege walk.

0:44:36.960 --> 0:44:39.279
<v Speaker 1>So I didn't know what a privileged walk was, but

0:44:39.320 --> 0:44:41.920
<v Speaker 1>apparently they line all the students up and they designate

0:44:42.440 --> 0:44:46.839
<v Speaker 1>you're a child born homeless, you're a CEO, and then

0:44:47.160 --> 0:44:51.399
<v Speaker 1>they make statements like you didn't get three meals a day,

0:44:52.200 --> 0:44:53.680
<v Speaker 1>or you do get three meals a day, So you

0:44:53.680 --> 0:44:56.160
<v Speaker 1>would move forward as a CEO, but you would stay

0:44:56.160 --> 0:44:58.439
<v Speaker 1>where you are, and they keep reading out these things

0:44:58.520 --> 0:45:00.919
<v Speaker 1>until Liz, as a CEO, you would end up right

0:45:01.000 --> 0:45:04.680
<v Speaker 1>in front of U Freyer. As a person, there really

0:45:04.760 --> 0:45:08.360
<v Speaker 1>is a walk of shame you made to feel bad

0:45:08.400 --> 0:45:10.759
<v Speaker 1>if you end up out the front and you're told

0:45:10.800 --> 0:45:13.759
<v Speaker 1>that you only got there because you were stepping over

0:45:13.880 --> 0:45:16.799
<v Speaker 1>other people in the process. Now what this has to

0:45:16.800 --> 0:45:20.200
<v Speaker 1>do with your degree in law, economics, or whatever other

0:45:20.360 --> 0:45:23.880
<v Speaker 1>subject they're doing, god only knows, but that the funny

0:45:23.880 --> 0:45:27.040
<v Speaker 1>thing about this is that students are quoted from mccauy

0:45:27.160 --> 0:45:29.920
<v Speaker 1>University saying they're worried they're not going to get a job,

0:45:30.400 --> 0:45:33.440
<v Speaker 1>because when employers find out this is the sort of

0:45:33.520 --> 0:45:36.239
<v Speaker 1>staff being taught to students, they're going to say, do

0:45:36.320 --> 0:45:38.560
<v Speaker 1>we really want to hire someone and bring them into

0:45:38.640 --> 0:45:42.600
<v Speaker 1>our staff who's been indoctrinated, marinated in all of this

0:45:42.719 --> 0:45:44.920
<v Speaker 1>kind of stuff. They're going to be a pain to

0:45:45.000 --> 0:45:48.120
<v Speaker 1>work with. We'll take someone from a different university. So

0:45:48.480 --> 0:45:52.440
<v Speaker 1>this could well backfire badly on mccauy University. We're going

0:45:52.480 --> 0:45:54.080
<v Speaker 1>to go to a break, but stick around when we

0:45:54.120 --> 0:45:58.000
<v Speaker 1>come back. Virgin Airlines, you would have heard they're initiating

0:45:58.040 --> 0:46:00.600
<v Speaker 1>flights where you can take your dog. But what about

0:46:00.600 --> 0:46:03.960
<v Speaker 1>a cinema where you can take your dog along to

0:46:04.040 --> 0:46:09.120
<v Speaker 1>the movies? That's coming up in a moment. A couple

0:46:09.120 --> 0:46:10.840
<v Speaker 1>of weeks ago, I went to see the new Bridget

0:46:10.880 --> 0:46:13.799
<v Speaker 1>Jones movie. I actually fell asleep. A couple of times you.

0:46:13.800 --> 0:46:16.040
<v Speaker 2>Went to see it that movie. I don't know why

0:46:16.080 --> 0:46:16.879
<v Speaker 2>you would admit that.

0:46:16.960 --> 0:46:19.239
<v Speaker 1>The only way it could have been worse, Liz, is

0:46:19.239 --> 0:46:21.200
<v Speaker 1>if there were dogs in the cinema. It's the only

0:46:21.200 --> 0:46:22.120
<v Speaker 1>way it could have been worse.

0:46:22.200 --> 0:46:25.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, at leasi weren't in Paris. Check this out. A

0:46:25.040 --> 0:46:29.120
<v Speaker 2>really arty Parisian theater as decided if you want to

0:46:29.160 --> 0:46:32.640
<v Speaker 2>take your dog o out for some dog o popcorn

0:46:32.920 --> 0:46:35.440
<v Speaker 2>to watch a dog o film, you are more than

0:46:35.480 --> 0:46:38.919
<v Speaker 2>welcome check this out. It has literally been selling out,

0:46:39.080 --> 0:46:43.320
<v Speaker 2>that's how popular it's been. While onlookers who clearly aren't

0:46:43.360 --> 0:46:47.440
<v Speaker 2>dog lovers have worried about the prevalence of fleas in

0:46:47.520 --> 0:46:50.560
<v Speaker 2>those cinemas, where when next I go to the movies,

0:46:50.600 --> 0:46:52.600
<v Speaker 2>am I just going to be sitting in some flea

0:46:52.760 --> 0:46:58.040
<v Speaker 2>ridden seat? And other critics wondered about the atmosphere on

0:46:58.239 --> 0:47:00.880
<v Speaker 2>rainy days due to the likely heard of.

0:47:01.040 --> 0:47:02.760
<v Speaker 1>That feeling that you get.

0:47:02.640 --> 0:47:05.040
<v Speaker 2>When it's just sad and lonely and you want to

0:47:05.080 --> 0:47:07.480
<v Speaker 2>go to the cinemas by yourself, but you decide to

0:47:07.520 --> 0:47:10.640
<v Speaker 2>take your dog. I'm assuming that's a very French concern

0:47:10.719 --> 0:47:16.600
<v Speaker 2>because we just don't have many here. But it's your

0:47:16.600 --> 0:47:17.840
<v Speaker 2>best friend. I back it.

0:47:18.000 --> 0:47:21.319
<v Speaker 3>I love dogs. So much, I would actually go. I

0:47:21.360 --> 0:47:23.160
<v Speaker 3>don't have a dog, but I would go just to

0:47:23.160 --> 0:47:25.080
<v Speaker 3>pat other people's dogs and.

0:47:26.320 --> 0:47:28.040
<v Speaker 2>A dog I love so much.

0:47:30.080 --> 0:47:31.120
<v Speaker 4>Oh that is mean.

0:47:31.400 --> 0:47:34.640
<v Speaker 3>But something that's very happy actually is there's the best

0:47:34.680 --> 0:47:37.120
<v Speaker 3>redemption redemption arc out there.

0:47:37.160 --> 0:47:37.680
<v Speaker 4>At the moment.

0:47:37.960 --> 0:47:42.680
<v Speaker 3>What was once the world's ugliest animal has just won.

0:47:42.640 --> 0:47:47.120
<v Speaker 4>New Zealand's Fish of the Year. Mean, the beloved fish.

0:47:47.560 --> 0:47:50.239
<v Speaker 3>It's bodies that made up of this bloody tissue so

0:47:50.280 --> 0:47:54.600
<v Speaker 3>that it can survive just above the law. Look at

0:47:54.600 --> 0:47:58.600
<v Speaker 3>that glorious beast. What do you guys reckon ugliest Animal

0:47:58.920 --> 0:47:59.920
<v Speaker 3>or Fish of the year.

0:48:00.040 --> 0:48:01.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it had to be a pity vote.

0:48:01.640 --> 0:48:04.040
<v Speaker 1>It looks like a medical experiment that went wrong.

0:48:04.160 --> 0:48:04.799
<v Speaker 2>It probably was.

0:48:04.880 --> 0:48:08.280
<v Speaker 1>Someone described it as a frowning pile of goop. But Freyer,

0:48:08.320 --> 0:48:09.600
<v Speaker 1>you'd probably take it to the movies.

0:48:10.719 --> 0:48:12.640
<v Speaker 3>Well, I don't know if I would like to cuddle

0:48:13.600 --> 0:48:17.160
<v Speaker 3>a boneless, scaleless blob that's meant to live hundreds of

0:48:17.160 --> 0:48:17.960
<v Speaker 3>meters underwater.

0:48:18.000 --> 0:48:19.960
<v Speaker 4>But if it's fluffy and cute, I'll cuddle it.

0:48:20.000 --> 0:48:21.520
<v Speaker 1>I think that's why it's so ugly, right, because it

0:48:21.560 --> 0:48:24.560
<v Speaker 1>lives in a highly pressurized part of the ocean, right

0:48:24.600 --> 0:48:28.440
<v Speaker 1>down deep, so it's virtually no skeleton, no scales, no muscles,

0:48:28.800 --> 0:48:31.160
<v Speaker 1>and nothing much to speak of. I don't know why

0:48:31.200 --> 0:48:34.240
<v Speaker 1>the New Zealand has voted that their favorite fish.

0:48:34.520 --> 0:48:36.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm telling you it was a pity vote. They were like,

0:48:36.400 --> 0:48:39.279
<v Speaker 2>its so ugly, so useless. We can't eat it, we

0:48:39.360 --> 0:48:42.120
<v Speaker 2>can't anything it. Let's just make it fish.

0:48:41.880 --> 0:48:42.279
<v Speaker 3>Of the year.

0:48:42.520 --> 0:48:43.000
<v Speaker 2>There you go.

0:48:43.200 --> 0:48:45.879
<v Speaker 1>Well, on that note, that's it from us. It's good night,

0:48:46.000 --> 0:48:48.080
<v Speaker 1>but don't go anywhere. Coming up in just a moment

0:48:48.239 --> 0:48:49.839
