WEBVTT - Sharri | 4 June 0:00:03.600 --> 0:00:09.480 Life sharing, good evening well first tonight to the Albanezy 0:00:09.560 --> 0:00:12.760 government's humiliating back down in Parliament today. 0:00:13.320 --> 0:00:15.480 It was sparked by the Prime Minister. 0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:19.280 Allowing the most woke left wing government in the Western 0:00:19.320 --> 0:00:24.439 world to dictate his foreign policy. Remember when Jacinta Ardourn 0:00:24.600 --> 0:00:28.520 was applauded by the Canbra bubble for giving Scott Morrison 0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:33.440 a slapdown about his immigration policy. 0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:36.519 This is corrosive to our relationship. 0:00:36.120 --> 0:00:38.960 Scott Morrison, Cobbs and a dern Burn. 0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:42.400 Do not deport your people and your problems. 0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:44.960 Once you've done your time, we send you home. 0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:46.440 Well. 0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:49.919 The coalition's policy was that if there's a criminal migrant, 0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:53.120 say a murderer or a child rapist, and they're a 0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:56.840 citizen of another country, well then they should be deported. 0:00:57.680 --> 0:01:02.520 But desperate to appeal to drn a widely popular young female, 0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:06.640 Prime Minister Albanesi capitulated to her demand. 0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:08.080 Absurdly. 0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:11.240 He was proud of the fact he was weakening Australia's 0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:14.080 immigration policy and our national. 0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:16.720 Security approach to appease New Zealand. 0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:20.760 The changes meant that thousands of criminals who held New 0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:24.360 Zealand citizenship would now be able to stay in our 0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:29.080 country instead of being deported. It was an announcement Albanizi 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:32.840 made to much fanfare when he became Prime Minister. 0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:38.040 A Minister Adurn has certainly not been backward in raising 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:41.399 these issues. I can assure you from our very first meeting. 0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:47.280 Where you have a circumstance where someone has lived their 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:52.400 entire life effectively in Australia with no connection whatsoever to 0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:56.240 New Zealand, then common sense should apply and we'll act 0:01:56.280 --> 0:01:59.400 as friends and we'll work through those issues in a 0:01:59.440 --> 0:01:59.960 common sense. 0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:03.520 What we've been seeking is common sense and the spirit 0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:05.920 of friendship, and that's what Prome Minus to Albinizi has 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:06.720 spoken to today. 0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:13.120 An Immigration Minister Andrew Giles boasted to refugee advocates about 0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:17.200 the changes that he said would appease New Zealanders in 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:21.000 this video obtained today by rhiannon Down at The Australian. 0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:24.400 One of the big issues that we have built with 0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:26.960 as a government is to have regard to the ministry 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:32.480 or direction that operates in respect of cancelized region, and 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:36.919 have had close regard, particularly on the basis that discussions 0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:40.040 with their friends in New Zealand about how this can 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:44.480 operate in a way that better reflects our obligation to 0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:46.959 people who've spent the majority of their lives in Australia 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:48.360 as opposed to another country. 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:53.440 Well, when he said there, reflects our obligation he's speaking about, 0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:58.160 reflects our obligation to criminals, to criminals who don't have 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:02.639 Australian citizenship and who should be deported. This from the 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:06.399 Immigration Minister, whose job is meant to be to protect 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:10.600 the safety of Australians. But this is what happens when 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:14.880 you appoint a refugee lawyer to the position of Immigration minister. 0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:19.320 Even the ABC has acknowledged that and I quote the 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:23.680 former refugee lawyer was never a natural fit for the 0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:25.320 immigration portfolio. 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:28.600 The fact Albanese won't sack. 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:32.000 Him after the litany of disasters that have seen Australians 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:36.320 attacked by detainees shows a deep problem with the Prime 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:40.760 Minister himself. As The Australian pointed out today, it's been 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:46.600 zero days since Giles's last blunder. Well, you'd want a 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:50.080 Prime minister to demand a high standard from his team, 0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:54.320 but what we're seeing is Albanese's willingness to accept not 0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:59.160 even mediocrity but poor performance. He's made a judgment that 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:03.240 so called stability of his front bench is more important 0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:09.080 than competency, which in this case means community safety. Albanizi 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:13.000 is choosing the political outcome that is best for himself 0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:17.360 and his political advantage and not putting the community first, 0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:22.960 and thus this ongoing saga reflects equally poorly on Alberzi 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:27.600 himself as it does on his failure of an immigration minister. 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:35.200 All right, well, Former Treasurer Josh Fredenberg has said that 0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:38.119 he's not going to run in Kouyong, his old seat. 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:41.320 But this idea that he shouldn't. 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:43.840 Be allowed to run because a woman has put up 0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:49.480 her hand is identity politics gone too far. Of course, 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:53.000 we need more women in politics, and not just politics 0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:55.880 but public life. We need women at the top of 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:59.640 companies boards and in all leadership positions. 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:00.760 One thousand percent. 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:05.360 And personally it's controversial, but I actually support gender quotas 0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:10.000 I think it does fast track change. But the idea 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:14.960 that any woman should be chosen over any man, irrespective 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:20.560 of his experience or merit or talent is nonsense. 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:23.400 Yet that has been the suggestion. 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:26.599 He can make it comeback if he wants. There's a 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:28.960 number of seats that are still open for pre selection 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:32.360 of Victoria, and he should absolutely consider going for one 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:37.120 of those. But demanding that pre selections reopen in seats 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:39.719 that have already closed, where we already have candidates in 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:44.160 the field is quite frankly ludicrous. Amelia Hamer is a 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:45.360 brilliant candidate. 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:49.159 I think that there might be some Josh Friedenberg fans 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:50.640 that's got a little bit of a rash of blood 0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:53.640 to the head when they saw these boundary changes. But 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:56.599 you know, quite frankly, our focus as a party should 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:58.480 be on keeping Higgins. 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:03.640 Your editor and journalist Christopher Dare wrote a brilliant and 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:06.359 cutting piece in The Nightly, and in it he said, 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:11.480 the idea that Josh Fridenberg, a relatively young moderate deputy 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:16.839 leader and successful former federal treasurer, should somehow cede to 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:21.120 an inexperienced, hopeful, articulate and educated as she may be, 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:25.960 simply because she is a woman is ridiculous, he said. 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:29.760 To suggest moving aside the untested thirty one year old, 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:33.760 albeit with a great liberal name, to make way for Freedenburg, 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:41.040 would somehow be a liberal hate crime against women is absurd. Now, 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:45.440 one of Fredenberg's personality traits is that he's loath to 0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:46.560 upset anyone. 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:48.200 He's a decent human being. 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:51.600 Yes, he wants to spend time with his family, and 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:55.640 he is making a great contribution to Australian life from 0:06:55.720 --> 0:07:00.960 outside politics, as we saw with his documentary recently. But 0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:05.279 also presumably he wouldn't like to be criticized for asking 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:09.000 a woman to step aside. But look at the bigger 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:13.040 picture here. Peter Darton has a massive uphill battle to 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:17.000 win the next election nineteen seats. He needs to form 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:21.800 majority government and he admits that this task would go 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:25.760 against the grain of history, even though. 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:28.360 The first term government hasn't lost since nineteen thirty one, 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:31.720 that the best outcome from a Labor Party perspective is 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:35.600 that they could form a minority government which would include 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:39.240 the Greens and the Tills and potentially, as you say, 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:44.920 Muslim independent candidates from Western Sydney or perhaps elsewhere in 0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:50.160 Melbourne for example. The reality of that is that yes, 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:53.640 they would be compromised even further in terms of their stance, 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:58.800 and I think as we saw during the period of 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:03.760 the Gillard government, where there was formal compact with the Greens, 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:07.320 there was a drag to the left and I think 0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:10.200 that is at odds with where most Australians are. At 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:14.560 Most Austraians, regardless of their religion or their location in 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:18.680 the country, that they want a safe environment for themselves, 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:21.240 for their kids, They want to work hard provide for 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:23.040 their family. They want a good health system, a good 0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:27.720 public transport, good transport system, and they want to buy 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:30.360 a good house and make sure that their kids and 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:32.760 grandkids can enjoy more than what they've been able to enjoy. 0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:36.360 I don't think it gets much more complicated than that. 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:40.880 And that was Peter Dutton on Sunday night. Well Tony 0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:44.560 Abbott won fourteen seats in the landslide of twenty thirteen 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:49.640 after the Guillard Rudd era of leadership chaos. For Dutton 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:55.280 to wear nineteen seats is a massive ask for him 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:57.920 to even have a shot at wedding seats back not 0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:01.120 only from labor but also the till he needs the 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:07.040 strongest possible candidate in every seat. Josh Fridenburg clearly has 0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:11.640 the best chance of winning Coujong from the disastrous Monique Ryan. 0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:16.360 The idea that Fridenburg wouldn't run or couldn't run simply 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:20.040 because it would be ungentlemanly to ask a woman to 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:23.720 step aside because of her gender, the idea that he 0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:28.400 wouldn't run because of identity politics, Well, this reason is 0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:33.560 clearly not in Australia's national interest now. Chris Daor in 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:37.280 The Nightly urged Josh Fridenburg to have courage in politics 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:40.400 because the path to the lodge is paved with the 0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:44.360 remains of those who tried and failed, all those who 0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:49.160 didn't try hard enough. Christo Vherdoor writes, Josh Fridenberg needs 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:53.240 to look no further than the limp and lackluster leadership 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:57.720 ambitions of Peter Costello, a fellow Melbourne Liberal with a 0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:02.960 lofty regard for his own talent, encumbered by destiny, incapacitated 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:04.640 by debilitating. 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:08.640 Desire, and at least one major personality flaw. He was 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:10.240 gutless to the. 0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:14.120 Great amusement of John Howard. Costello never struck him down, 0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:18.840 didn't even try. Howard waited for the day it never came. 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:24.960 Angry and entitled, Costello will never live that down, spooked 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:28.400 by his own hapless brand of Hubris. 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:29.880 Well. 0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:33.080 The comparison with Costello, though, does have its limits. 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:35.199 Costello is now chair. 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:38.840 Of nine and I would note the judging by Costello's 0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:42.600 leadership of nine during the sexual harassment crisis at the 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:46.360 network doesn't seem like Australia missed out. 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:49.440 And much by not having him as Prime Minister. 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:53.400 Well. 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:56.599 Also coming up on the show tonight, how Anthony Albanese's 0:10:56.640 --> 0:11:01.199 agency tasked with increasing the housing supply has spent thirty 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:06.160 million dollars on executive and on consultants and executive salaries 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:11.000 without building a single home. Thirty million dollars and not 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:15.120 a single home built. This breaking news tonight. It's a farce, 0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:19.959 and Pettiwog refuses to rule out recognizing a Palestinian state 0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:24.920 even if Harmas still has a role governing Gaza. This 0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:29.600 is surely a confusing position for a feminist, given Hamas 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:34.959 has raped girls, beheaded babies and slaughtered children in cold blood. 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:39.240 Petty Wog is quickly developing a reputation as the worst 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:43.840 foreign minister Australia has ever had. More on that with 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:48.880 my panel later, plus drugs, alcohol and holidays, the ndis 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:53.600 rots costing tax payers billions of dollars a year, and 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:58.040 in an almost comical opening statement, Anthony Fauci denies trying 0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:01.560 to cover up the COVID publigue theory. We'll get to 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:04.560 that with my panel in a minute. I'm a Speaker 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:07.200 of the House. Bronwin Bishop, our National MP Keith Pitt 0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:10.880 joined me. Now, welcome to you both. Look, let's start 0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:13.360 now with what I spoke about at the start of 0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:16.600 the show. Immigration Minister Andrew Giles had to get up 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:19.199 at the start of Parliament today and say that he's 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:22.720 spoken to his New Zealand counterpart to tell him that 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:27.720 he'd make changes, changes that ALBERNIZI was so proud of 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:31.720 making in a press conference with Jacintha dern Keith, What 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:34.920 did you make of this admission in Parliament today? 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:40.200 How many more mistakes does this minister have to make? Firstly, 0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:41.959 it wasn't the fault of the change of director of 0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:44.800 ninety nine. Then it was the fault of direction ninety nine, 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:47.080 and then it was the fault of the department, and 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:49.120 then it was the failure of the dry and monitoring 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:52.000 that didn't exist. And now we find that it's exactly 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:54.480 what the opposition said. It looks like there was a 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:57.600 deal done with New Zealand because they demanded it and 0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:00.280 the Australian government rolled over. Now, no matter what side 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:03.520 of politics you come from. There is one fundamental role 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:06.480 and that is to keep the nation and it's people safe, 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:10.480 and they have failed miserably. And I think mister Giles 0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:12.319 his position is completely untenable. 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:16.240 I mean, bron went, you know the whole idea in 0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:18.480 the first place. And this is part of the problem. 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:22.880 This was Anthony Alberesi's decision to change the immigration policy 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:26.480 to appease Jacinda r Dern, to keep more criminals in 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:29.959 the country even though they're not Australian citizens. I mean, 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:33.520 is it a surprise that incapitulating to the most woke 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:35.720 government that we've got in the western world, it was 0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:36.719 going to end up like this. 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:37.719 Of course not. 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:42.600 But the problem for Albanesi is that is his problem. 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:47.480 He did it and he used a Jiles to implement it. 0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:52.360 So if Giles goes, shouldn't Albanesi go also? That's his problem. 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:56.880 But here here, and there's another problem in there, of course, 0:13:57.280 --> 0:13:59.800 and Keith, no doubt you started to see it or 0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:04.880 the Labor Party. Indians are starting to get restless. They 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:10.920 are feeling the mess that they're in. There's no leadership, 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:13.760 there's no direction, they're not achieving anything. For the nation, 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:20.520 and as they look at the problems that are engulfing 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:25.160 the government, they're starting to look at alternate leadership options. 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:28.800 And who do you think leaked the story about a speech? 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:31.400 Right for Bill Shorten? I mean it's going to be 0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:34.960 an internal hatchet job because he sees himself as being 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:37.840 the leader that should have been elected Prime minister. But 0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:39.320 there are a lot of others in there who think 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:42.720 they are too. So perhaps I use an unfortunate analogy 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:46.960 in saying using the term I use to describe the 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:50.480 backbench of the Labor Party, but restless they are and 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:53.960 concerned for their own seats, and the redistribution won't be 0:14:54.000 --> 0:14:55.880 doing them all favors either. 0:14:57.040 --> 0:15:00.680 Well, Bill Shotton is dealing with some controver your topics 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:04.000 at the moment. Of course, the speech writer three hundred 0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:06.680 and ten thousand dollars a year for two years. Also 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:10.640 revelations at Senate Estimates last night that NDIS money is 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:12.320 being used to fund things. 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:14.920 Like drugs, alcohol and holidays. 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:18.640 Here's what NDIS Head of Fraud and Integrity, John Datto 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:19.680 said last night. 0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:26.080 And then you have participants where they've not understood what 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:28.280 they can and can't agree to with a provider, so 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:32.400 they're accepting things that they shouldn't be. Examples, just in 0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:35.240 the last week, a twenty thousand dollars holiday, at ten 0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:37.760 thousand dollars holiday, we had a participant that bought a 0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:41.040 car brand new seventy three thousand dollars. I have spoken 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:47.120 to very recently a participant to would meet the provider 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:51.400 at the ATM. The provider with withdraw cash and provide 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:53.520 that cash to the participant for her to source of 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:54.400 this at substances. 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:58.920 I mean, these are extraordinary revelations, Keith. We know that 0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:02.360 there's a massive blowout of NDAs. I mean, it's on 0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:05.800 track to be the largest component of the federal budget. 0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:08.480 And yet then we hear revelations last night from the 0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:10.880 head of the Integrity Unit that money. 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:14.000 Is being spent on holidays. What do you think about 0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:16.440 this shary. 0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:20.240 The trajectory for spending on indiis is just completely unsustainable. 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:23.120 I mean, if we even thought about it or spoke 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:25.960 about it briefly when we were in government, the Labor 0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:28.920 Party just tore us apart. Now what we see here 0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:31.840 is this money is being wasted on things which are 0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:35.560 just not necessary. Secondly, they appear to me to be illegal. 0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:39.840 And thirdly, guess who's missing out. It is those individuals 0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:42.720 who have the most desperate die need the ones that 0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:45.960 need the support because this money is being wasted on 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:48.840 things like new cars for individuals that should be fined 0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:51.440 another way to pay for them. And this is Bill 0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:54.360 Shorton's issue. Not only has he got a really expensive 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:57.320 speech writer, it appears that inside the NDIS there's some 0:16:57.440 --> 0:16:58.520 very expensive habits. 0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:03.480 I mean, you know, most people would support an NDIS scheme, 0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:06.480 but what we're seeing here is just a waste of 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:07.320 taxpayer funds. 0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:08.560 Brinwin, Yes, it is. 0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:12.719 Look, the problem is that Bill Shorten designed it, and 0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:16.000 he has to fix it because what he left was 0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:19.679 really badly designed. Look, the sorts of problems that have 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:23.240 to be looked at seriously are You will hear people 0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:27.439 who were not on before the NDIS existed were paying 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:30.719 save for particular service, say one hundred and twenty dollars 0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:34.520 for that service. As soon as the NDIS came in, 0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:37.359 they will paying two hundred and fifty dollars for the 0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:41.000 same service. And that's happened right across the board. So 0:17:41.080 --> 0:17:43.119 there are a lot of people out there making a 0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:47.080 lot of money out of the NDIS, and they have 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:49.200 to start to look at caps, they have to start 0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:54.400 to look at redesigning it altogether. Now Bill shortened it 0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:57.320 was his design. It's up to him to fix it. 0:17:57.960 --> 0:18:02.320 But equally I can say, I mean, I've worked all 0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:06.040 my life helping in various charities. And I have a 0:18:06.040 --> 0:18:10.960 particular friend who is very badly affected by cerebral palsy, 0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:16.439 but she's got a great brain, and she said that 0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:20.480 the NDIS has made dramatic change in her life, and 0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:23.680 I can see it in her. She can speak now 0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:27.800 more clearly. She has someone with her who's she's got 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:31.480 a lot more. It's a lot of good, but when 0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:34.879 you hear the stories that we're hearing, it makes it 0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:38.440 hard on those people. It's unfair for those people for 0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:41.560 whom it was really to be desired. Plus, the states 0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:45.320 have now it totally pulled out of delivering disability services 0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:47.560 and said federal government, it's your problem. 0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:50.399 So it's a lot a lot of work there and 0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:51.720 to a very. 0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:54.199 Expensive speech writer, it's not going to fix it. 0:18:54.400 --> 0:18:55.520 No, that's true. 0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:57.760 I mean the coalition says it works out to something 0:18:57.800 --> 0:18:59.919 like twenty two thousand dollars speech. 0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:02.400 You hope that they are good speeches. 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:05.520 Now Chris Bowen has declared that the next federal election 0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:09.119 will be a referendum on nuclear power. Well, it's going 0:19:09.160 --> 0:19:11.160 to be a referendum on cost of living, I'll tell 0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:14.160 you that. But nonetheless, Chris Bowen writes in The Australian 0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:17.800 that pro nuclear facts are being asserted with confidence that 0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:22.480 beaur little relationship to reality. Keith, this is your one 0:19:22.480 --> 0:19:24.160 of your areas of expertise. 0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:25.720 What's your response to Chris Bowen? 0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:29.640 Well, you should find Chris Balen's piece in the OS. 0:19:29.680 --> 0:19:31.120 I think from memory it was on the top right. 0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:32.439 Ignore it and move. 0:19:32.359 --> 0:19:33.080 To the bottom left. 0:19:33.280 --> 0:19:35.840 There's a piece there from Jerdah Sloan and it is 0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:40.480 absolutely on the money. It is a ridiculous proposition from labor. 0:19:40.760 --> 0:19:43.399 The idea that we can run this country on intermittent 0:19:43.440 --> 0:19:48.159 supply is just nonsense, and nuclear provides an option that works. 0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:51.080 It works around the world, it's used in other places. 0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:54.000 But Chris bon seems to have some sort of ideological 0:19:54.000 --> 0:19:56.600 opposition unless it's in a submarine. So how is it 0:19:56.640 --> 0:20:00.879 possible for labor to argue against nuclear on but for 0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:05.480 nuclear in submarines, against nuclear everywhere else? Because apparently you'll 0:20:05.480 --> 0:20:07.320 get three odd fish that you say on The Simpsons, 0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:09.920 but not in a nuclear submarine which will get every 0:20:09.960 --> 0:20:14.879 major port in the country. It's a ridiculous proposition, mister Bowd. 0:20:14.880 --> 0:20:16.679 He should just wake up to himself, to be honest. 0:20:17.400 --> 0:20:19.280 Well, it is going to be an issue at the election, 0:20:19.400 --> 0:20:23.120 but probably not in the top five, i'd say. Now, 0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:26.280 Dr Anthony Fauci, we've covered him a lot on this program. 0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:30.240 He faced quite a sensational grilling at Congress today. To 0:20:30.400 --> 0:20:34.000 hearing he denied allegations that he covered up the theory 0:20:34.040 --> 0:20:37.880 that COVID nineteen may have leaked from a laboratory in Wuhan. 0:20:38.400 --> 0:20:40.040 Have a look at how this unfolded. 0:20:41.320 --> 0:20:45.200 I don't think the concept of there being a lab 0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:51.520 leak is inherently a conspiracy theory. What is conspiracy is 0:20:51.560 --> 0:20:56.280 the kind of distortions of that particular subject, like it 0:20:56.320 --> 0:20:59.760 was a lab leak, and I was parachuted into the CIA, 0:21:00.320 --> 0:21:04.199 like Jason Bourne and told the CIA that they should 0:21:04.359 --> 0:21:06.840 really not be talking about a lable. 0:21:07.080 --> 0:21:09.320 Thank you now, Bronwin. 0:21:09.520 --> 0:21:11.720 It would be impossible in the space of time we 0:21:11.800 --> 0:21:15.440 have here to recap my investigative journalism that I've done 0:21:15.440 --> 0:21:18.760 in this area, but leedless to say, there were conversations 0:21:19.520 --> 0:21:23.000 and I've interviewed the other health official on camera that 0:21:23.040 --> 0:21:27.000 Anthony Fauci had the conversations with where they did decide 0:21:27.040 --> 0:21:30.560 to publicly downplay the lablique theory. There's also email evidence 0:21:30.600 --> 0:21:34.119 that points to this because they wanted cooperation from China. 0:21:34.160 --> 0:21:34.879 That's one reason. 0:21:34.920 --> 0:21:38.520 Another reason is that Anthony Fauchi's agency was actually funding 0:21:38.680 --> 0:21:42.040 the gain of function research in Wuhan. An emails show 0:21:42.160 --> 0:21:45.120 that he was worried he may have funded the research 0:21:45.520 --> 0:21:46.960 that led to the pandemic. 0:21:47.200 --> 0:21:50.240 Well, first, let's say your book was a very important 0:21:50.280 --> 0:21:53.440 part in opening up the lies that have been told 0:21:53.520 --> 0:21:58.560 during COVID, and any cold eyed view of what happened 0:21:59.040 --> 0:22:03.320 is clearly came out of the lab. And clearly when 0:22:03.320 --> 0:22:06.639 we say increasing the function, we're talking about making it 0:22:06.680 --> 0:22:10.320 more lethal. That's what That's what was happening. And then, 0:22:10.400 --> 0:22:14.600 for some reason, against all the preparations this country had made, 0:22:15.440 --> 0:22:19.400 we followed the Chinese model of lockdown, as has happened 0:22:19.440 --> 0:22:24.560 in so many other countries. So we desperately need his testimony. 0:22:24.640 --> 0:22:27.760 There adds to the conviction I have and many others have, 0:22:27.840 --> 0:22:30.719 that we need a proper royal commission here into what 0:22:30.840 --> 0:22:35.520 happened here, and the research that you did and made 0:22:35.600 --> 0:22:39.359 public made people understand that there was something rotten going 0:22:39.400 --> 0:22:40.640 on in this country. 0:22:41.680 --> 0:22:43.920 Now, my issue with those grillings, and I think it's 0:22:44.040 --> 0:22:46.960 excellent to be able to get Anthony Fauci in the 0:22:47.000 --> 0:22:50.440 stand and ask questions, but my issue with those grillings, 0:22:50.600 --> 0:22:53.680 and most of them are the same in the US Congress, 0:22:53.720 --> 0:22:56.440 is that it's all about the particular congress men or 0:22:56.480 --> 0:22:59.040 women you know, wanting to go viral on the internet. 0:22:59.080 --> 0:23:03.719 It's about their question rather than actually eliciting real answers 0:23:04.160 --> 0:23:07.680 from the person they're questioning. In this case Anthony Fauchier. 0:23:07.720 --> 0:23:09.520 Wish journalists would be able to. 0:23:09.440 --> 0:23:10.200 Do that instead. 0:23:10.760 --> 0:23:13.679 Roman Bishop Keith Pitt. Thank you both very much for 0:23:13.760 --> 0:23:18.640 joining me. Now, another big story today, Labor is planning 0:23:18.680 --> 0:23:23.520 to expand the eligibility criteria to allow foreign citizens to 0:23:23.640 --> 0:23:27.239 join our Defense FOSS. This is apparently to make up 0:23:27.280 --> 0:23:29.600 for a lack of recruits. No one wants to join 0:23:29.720 --> 0:23:33.160 the eightf anymore. New Zealanders would be the first foreigners 0:23:33.280 --> 0:23:35.919 to be able to join, and then there could be 0:23:36.080 --> 0:23:40.600 from January next year other countries as well. There's been 0:23:40.760 --> 0:23:44.679 mixed messaging from Labour today about exactly who will be 0:23:44.840 --> 0:23:46.679 eligible to join our defense. 0:23:46.680 --> 0:23:47.600 Foss have a look. 0:23:48.600 --> 0:23:53.080
